In this episode of 2 Grumpy Vets, we dive into a lively discussion filled with humor, social commentary, and a touch of grumpiness. Join Bryan, Rich, and the Dude as they explore the challenges of living intentionally and helping men become better men through weekly conversations.
We kick off the episode with a humorous take on the rising costs of food at truck stops and the absurdity of paying $20 for a simple meal. The conversation then shifts to the economic struggles faced by truck drivers and the impact of inflation on everyday expenses.
The hosts delve into the complexities of the current economic climate, discussing the role of government policies, the influence of globalists, and the potential for another depression. They explore the power of collective action and the importance of standing up for change.
The episode takes a personal turn as Bryan shares a story about a young man he's been mentoring, highlighting the challenges of breaking free from a troubled past and the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions.
We also touch on the concept of redemption, the justice system, and the societal expectations placed on individuals who have served time in prison. The hosts debate the fairness of requiring former inmates to prove themselves even after serving their sentences.
Finally, the episode wraps up with a discussion on the importance of personal growth, the value of learning from mistakes, and the need for more understanding and compassion in today's world. Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking conversation that will leave you reflecting on the issues that matter most.

And, dude, this is a show that each week allows for 3 friends to get together and live life intentionally. We do this by throwing a little social commentary with our own weird sense of humor and our thoughts together to show folks that living having weekly conversations is a good way to help each other out, help men become better men. And so now on with the show with Brian, Rich, and the dude.

[00:02:12] Bryan Goodwin:
now on it again. Alright. Well, I knew we're gonna we're gonna delve into the as the stomach turns. So
[00:02:20] Rich Chelson:
Right. Now there was, there's a few things I was thinking about on the drive up that that has me a little perturbed, and, I was I was saying about them real good. And then all of a sudden right now, I can't fucking remember them. And it's like, what the hell? You know? Because I mean, I mean, they weren't bad topics. It was, oh, oh, oh, oh, here it is. Here it is. Okay. Thank god I'm not a freaking truck driver anymore. Dude What do you Dude, the prices and the fucking truck stops.
[00:02:54] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, hell yeah. Oh, god. Yeah. God. Dang, dude.
[00:02:59] Rich Chelson:
I mean, I I stopped at Lowe's to get fuel. Fuel was alright. Well, I went in and, use the restroom and come out, and I, you know, figured I'd get a snack. You know? Minimum. Minimum. $5 for for for a small little thing, you know, whatever. Oh, yeah. $10 for for, like, a little bag of of, raisins and nuts and shit like that. And I'm like, god. Dang.
[00:03:26] Bryan Goodwin:
No place for truck stops, truckers to stop. So yeah. No. Hell, man. The my favorite little place to stop there in Bowie, Texas, over at the, over at the Armadillo Grill. Man, I I well and it's not even at the in the Armadillo Grill, which is the restaurant that's kinda in the back part of the, of the of the of the truck stop. They've got just a little griddle or grills area up front. You can order a hamburger or one and stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah. You get a bacon, bacon cheese, hamburger with fries and a drink, you're dropping a 20.
Yeah. Duh. You're dropping a fucking gram for 1 fucking meal.
[00:04:08] Rich Chelson:
You know? And and well, you see, like like like the Luvs sells a hot dogs,
[00:04:14] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. The,
[00:04:15] Bryan Goodwin:
see a tornadoes and stuff. Yeah. And those are at least still $4.
[00:04:20] Rich Chelson:
Oh, dude. I remember when they were 2 for 2.22. Yeah. And now they're 2 for 5.
[00:04:28] Bryan Goodwin:
Now they're 2 for last I saw, they were 2 for 4 still. Dude, down in Alabama,
[00:04:33] Rich Chelson:
I stopped at Luvs. It said they're 2 for 5. Oh, you know? Or whatever. Either way, it's I mean, it it was out fucking outrageous. Oh, yeah. You know, it's like it's like what there and so so instead of getting something over there and and, like the Luvs has the burritos and stuff that are only about 3 inches long, you know, for for for $5, you know, fuck, dude. I walked over to Arby's right there on the other side, spent $13
[00:05:04] Bryan Goodwin:
and had a meal that lasted me all fucking day. I was gonna say spent $13 and got curly fries and a Coke.
[00:05:11] Rich Chelson:
Yes, sir. And a sandwich
[00:05:14] Bryan Goodwin:
and a sandwich. What type of sandwich you get? Had to have been something off that die off that dollar meal because we No.
[00:05:24] Rich Chelson:
No. No. It was it was, it was, double roast beef. Yeah. Double roast beef sandwich, large curly fry, and a large unsweet tea was, like, $13.32, something like that. It was cheaper than a goddamn Luvs. I'll tell you that. Yeah. No. No. I'll give you that. Oh, something else I noticed I didn't know about.
[00:05:48] Bryan Goodwin:
Did you know Arby's is selling hamburgers now too? Yeah. Yeah. We have an Arby's over in Oak City. So yeah. Since when?
[00:05:56] Rich Chelson:
Oh, about 6 months now. That's good. Yeah. That's about that. I walked in I walked in. I I was I was freaking I was freaking trying to look at the menu.
[00:06:06] Bryan Goodwin:
And they are pushing them hamburgers hard. They're like
[00:06:10] Rich Chelson:
well, yeah. Well, think about it, though. No one's buying the roast beef anymore.
[00:06:14] Bryan Goodwin:
Why not? I I still love the roast beef. Oh, I do too. I do too. But
[00:06:18] Rich Chelson:
but you see, it it it doesn't go with the McDonald's and the Burger King and shit like this.
[00:06:25] Duuude-Ron :
Okay? The whole fucking that's the whole premise
[00:06:29] Bryan Goodwin:
and the point. Exactly. But I again, I and I get what you're saying on that. Yeah. But yeah. No. That's a that's the that's the if they would just if actually, if they needed all the, the the companies would just fall back onto back to the basics, they would make their lot world so much easier.
[00:06:52] Duuude-Ron :
They wouldn't know what the hell basics are anymore.
[00:06:57] Rich Chelson:
Dude, that is that is the the most honest statement I've heard in a while. I mean, I mean, dude's right. Yeah. Seriously. I mean, because they're freaking changing shit up so much. Man, I tell you, I, yeah, I saw that and I, I was just like, oh my God. What the hell is this world coming to? You see, this is why I don't, I don't do my I'm glad I don't do much of this because I mean, think about it. Okay. A truck driver out there running 7 days a week, you know, out there for 2, 3 weeks at a time. Gets gone for 2 days, every 2 weeks or 3 weeks. Right?
And, and if he's trying to eat on the road, he's gonna spend $20 a meal. So that adds up to $60 a day. Times 7, that's $420 a week. Now if he's only making 7, 8, maybe $900, that's half his fucking paycheck. Yeah. Half his paycheck just in food, and that's eaten cheaply. You know? And it's like, it man,
[00:08:05] Bryan Goodwin:
I was why I carry these with me. Cups cup of noodles.
[00:08:10] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Oh, no. No. Those I mean, those are yeah. You know, I did that when I was Those are still those are,
[00:08:16] Bryan Goodwin:
a tray of those is $12 for $13
[00:08:18] Rich Chelson:
now. I know, man. But but you say, I was bitching when, buffets went from, 4.99, a buffet to 999.
[00:08:28] Bryan Goodwin:
God. Oh, hell. Now they're now they're 13 to $15 a, a plate. Right. They're not a plate, a a person. Right. Easily.
[00:08:36] Duuude-Ron :
Easily.
[00:08:38] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep. And most of the food restaurants go to our food restaurants. Our our our Chinese food restaurant is because no. There was there was a a stretch there where we sat down. It was $12. It's like, alright. Uh-huh. Sat down to, like, 2 or 3, 4 weeks later, and it was 13. I was like, oh, that's not good. Sat down a couple more weeks after that, and it was 14. We're like, oh, okay. Yeah. We need to stop this and got 15, and we're like, alright. Well, this is a special occasion now. Only now. So
[00:09:09] Rich Chelson:
Well well, the one in, Pascagoula, they're 1369, and then you have your drink. And then with tax and everything, it's like 1710. Yep. It does it doesn't change. Yep. So it's like it's so but but you see for, for that Chinese food buffet, you can get crawfish.
[00:09:32] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh.
[00:09:33] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. And crawfish is normally on on the buffet every day. You can get shrimp, you can get crab, you can get Nothing better than Cajun Chinese food. Right? But but and and, you know, you can get all the other stuff. So I don't mind paying the $17. Right. You know? Well, I mean I mean, shit, the drink's 2.99, which no drink should be that much, but it is.
[00:10:04] Duuude-Ron :
You know how much the average cost to produce 1 large beverage drink? What? 75¢? 75 to 78¢. Yes. Oh, so large drink. Yeah. Wow. And they're charging $3. Yeah. Oh, I know. I know. Hell, even if they charge a double 50 or a dollar 50, they're doubling their money. But, no, they can't. It's greed. Everybody is greed.
[00:10:35] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, to I I would agree slightly to that, but also a lot a lot of this the increase isn't so much greed as it is just Yeah. Because of the inflation. Because now your dollar does not go nearly as far as as it used to even
[00:10:52] Duuude-Ron :
3 years ago. True. You're right. You're you're right. Absolutely correct. The cost of living for everybody has gone up. The cost of fertilizer has quadrupled in the last 3 years. Uh-huh.
[00:11:07] Bryan Goodwin:
So Well, that's because they wanna they're trying to get rid of fertilizer because the it puts too many nitrates in the, in the soil. Oh, yeah. Of course. In the water. In the water.
[00:11:17] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, you know, God forbid. But, anyway, you know, every every aspect of farming has almost quadrupled in the last 4, 5 years. Mhmm. So that quadruples, then everything is a domino effect. And because of policy of it's fucking everybody has drove the fucking prices up. And, yes, the consumer is the end individual that, you know, is gonna pay for it. However, the farmers have to pay for a raise of food in the grocery store that they're freaking providing. Yep. Absolutely.
[00:12:04] Rich Chelson:
Nobody's immune from it. Yeah. So, you know Farmers are paying twice and actually making less
[00:12:11] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. From their crops. Exactly. So, you know, where the where the where the fuck is the bullshit or when is the bullshit gonna fucking stop? Will we go through another fucking depression?
[00:12:26] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Actually, that'll be the when a lot of people snap their heads out of their ass. Yeah. Yeah. Well, so We and honestly Sadly, I've been beating the depression
[00:12:37] Rich Chelson:
for a couple of decades now. Okay. Yeah. That's fine. But, honestly, is it gonna happen?
[00:12:44] Bryan Goodwin:
The way they keep the way the government keeps propping shit up, it will eventually happen. And when it does, it's gonna be bad bad. I mean Okay. Stupid bad because
[00:12:55] Rich Chelson:
But but okay. Is what? Next 5, 10, 15, 20 years? Don't know. It depends on how, it depends on
[00:13:02] Bryan Goodwin:
depends on how long it takes before the laws of a co economics overtake what what bullshit lies they're trying.
[00:13:12] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. See, that's you see, that's the thing. I think I think I think there's, I see it too many 1 percenters that, they don't want it to happen really because that'll get into their their bottom line.
[00:13:29] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, you know, I I get the I get why you're worried about that, but, you know, those dreaded about it. Those dreaded, horrible one percenters, though. The interesting thing about 1 percentage is if they lose their money and they're the sale self made 1 percenters, they know how to remake their money back. And do you know what level a 1 percenter is? Do you know where the one that that infamous 1% actually starts at?
[00:13:55] Rich Chelson:
I've never gotten that in-depth with it.
[00:13:58] Bryan Goodwin:
It's around $750,000. Maybe 5th 500,000.
[00:14:02] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Yep. What what no. It's a lot it should be a lot higher than that. You would think so. No. Yeah. The way the way the news
[00:14:12] Bryan Goodwin:
and and every and the media loves to talk about it, you would think, oh, no. It's only the $1,000,000,000 people. No. No. It's and it's actually higher. They're for a while. Back back when, Occupy Wall Street was happening, the they were bitching about that infamous 1%. That 1% started at about a $150,000.
[00:14:34] Rich Chelson:
It's Seriously? 50? Seriously.
[00:14:38] Bryan Goodwin:
And it's gone and now it's gone up, which should actually be something to celebrate because that means we've had more millionaires and billionaires who have created their own wealth. Hey, Brian. Brian?
[00:14:53] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah, you're right. The top 1%, nationally requires an annual income of at least $787,712 to be among the top 1%, a 20% increase from last year. Yeah. So, yeah, it's, I mean, it's yeah, straight up. And that's well, that that was from, CBS news, but they got it from me, IRS.
[00:15:24] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. But again, that's, you know, that's everybody's raw running around saying the rich may need to pay their fair share. Well, the funny thing is is that the rich they're referring to is people like us, is middle class. Because a lot of the lot of the little I I I wanna refer to my generation x, terminology, the yuppies. But, but they're not the yuppies anymore. The yuppies liked the wealth, and they wanted to show off the wealth. And that's what their yuppie the yuppiness was. Right. But now it's the well, it's flat out. This is just the damn communist who stand around going, it's not fair.
All these people got got rich off the backs of the work No, asshole. The working man knew how to set set aside money and make and make it. Right. Set aside's a little bit because I could easily look at that and go, dude, I should be the one whining about not having enough money because I live still paycheck to paycheck damn it. Right. I have I've gotten around now where I've I've kinda whittled stuff down to where I at least have about a $150 afterwards. But every Friday, I'm I'm taking I'll just and when I say a little bit, I mean, like, $10 out. And I put it, I take, 10 actually, a total of $20 out, and I send it off into what I call my deep freeze accounts.
[00:16:52] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. And so I've got
[00:16:53] Bryan Goodwin:
Because you what? Literally why? Because you literally go put the money in the deep freeze to hide it? No. I literally put it into stuff that it takes at least 13 days for me to be able to withdraw.
[00:17:04] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[00:17:06] Bryan Goodwin:
So it's because now, in all reality, frozen the the literal frozen assets, you know, that doesn't work. If you if you think you're going going to get around the problem, freezing the credit card, no. It's that's not that's not the case.
[00:17:22] Duuude-Ron :
But Oh, I thought it was I thought it was the, reference of cold, hard cash.
[00:17:26] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, I mean, a lot of people used to. I mean, hell. And there I think if we were to ever go back into another and when we well, if when we do, because we're going to go back into a depression sometime. Well, see, it may even be within this next next year because, I mean, hell, the Democrats are wanting to crash the system so that we have to go to the the the the digital dollar.
[00:17:50] Rich Chelson:
They've been wanting to crash the system for the last 30 freaking years, dude. Well, yeah. I mean, they seriously, they have been the Democrats have been trying to crash our our freaking economy for the last 30 plus years. Okay. They're gonna keep doing it. And or or keep trying to keep trying to do it for the next 30 fucking years. Well, they're trying. They've been trying, but they wanna only crash
[00:18:18] Bryan Goodwin:
certain aspects of the economy. Like, in 2008, when the bank started falling, when Lehman Brothers fell, they oh, no. We can't we can't let that happen. And, yeah, George w was part of the problem too. George w is, believe it or not, also a progressive. He's just a progressive Republican. Right. It's kinda like conservatives. You know, we've talked last week how they there actually used to be this thing called a conservative democrat and a liberal republican. Well, they've got progressive republicans, and they've always had those because, I mean, that's what, that's what what, I keep on calling him Teddy Workspin.
Theodore Roosevelt. He was actually a a progressive on the Republican side. Right.
[00:19:08] Rich Chelson:
But see but but okay. Look. Check this out. 30 years ago, they were saying the exact same fucking shit they're saying now. Mhmm. The exact same the the wording is even almost the same. Okay? Oh, yeah. And and if if they haven't gotten it done in 30 years, I mean and and I agree it is getting closer because they've got more more brainwashed people to, swallow their their shit. Yep. But still, the fact remains is is I mean, all anyone's doing about it is bitching about it. There no one's doing anything because you cannot get 2 American people
[00:19:54] Bryan Goodwin:
on the same fucking page at the same fucking time. Well, no. That's and that's that's alright. Hold on. That's that's all social media issue right there.
[00:20:03] Rich Chelson:
Well, you know, until we get an ass load of people on the same fucking page with the same fucking agenda, then we can get shit changed like we need to in order to make this a better country and back to where it was. Right. I mean, again
[00:20:23] Bryan Goodwin:
man can't fucking do it. No. No. You're right. It takes it takes everybody in fucking America. Right. But, but again, that is that that's one of the because our economic system is seasonal. It it's always been seasonal, and you have you have to have those cold, hard winters of depression to be able to have the beautiful the beautiful summers, of of abundance. Right. And that's where that that's one reason why they're they're shooting themselves on foot, trying to avoid the pain of going through a, through a depression. We had a depression in the twenties, and it didn't last hardly at all. You don't hear about that depression because they did because the government jumped in, took action, and did what they needed to do. They cut spending, like, severely cut spending.
[00:21:20] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:21:21] Bryan Goodwin:
Raised up the, the interest rates to suck some of the extra money back in. And when they got out right got out of it, boom, they kicked right off and you had the roaring twenties.
[00:21:33] Rich Chelson:
Right. Yes. But that is not gonna happen again. I mean Not not for not for a while.
[00:21:39] Bryan Goodwin:
Not not in the same respect as it did happen. No. It's not because Okay. We've got It won't. Too many too many globalists with their fingers in the pie. Thank you.
[00:21:51] Rich Chelson:
And so you and and you you you see, that's the thing. This you see, everyone's talking about the economy and shit like this. Guess what? You're still getting paid. You're still going to grocery store and eating. Right? You're not eating steak. No. But you're still eating. Correct? Yes. So why is everybody bitching? Okay. Prices are outrageous. You know what? Re instead of bitching about it, instead of going to social media, write your fucking congressman or senator.
[00:22:23] Bryan Goodwin:
Actually, better thing to well, if you're able to, then probably one of the better things to do is to stop buying groceries. Well, yeah. You can do that. You can switch. But at the same time, there's some places you're not allowed to actually go off and not buy groceries. What? Because you're not allowed to grow a grow a carton.
[00:22:44] Rich Chelson:
Well, you know what? That's where you break the law. Well, first, you move. Yeah. Get the fuck out of there. Or 2, break the law and grow a garden in your fucking house.
[00:22:54] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, grow even grow it in a backyard. Or wait. Or wait. No. No. Disrespectful.
[00:22:59] Rich Chelson:
No. Get get get 15, 20, 50, a 100 people in that town that all on the same fucking page again. Here we go. Oh my god. You know? Same thing again and good and go to the town hall, the state, the county government, wherever you gotta go and repeal that freaking law. The American people have so much fucking power and yet they want someone else to tell them when to wipe their fucking ass.
[00:23:30] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, they the and all the to a point that is true, but also at the same time, so many people have been asleep that the they haven't paid attention to what the rule what rules have actually changed around. Well, no. You're right. You're right. And that's you see. And that's, again, that's the public that's the public's responsibility, and they've slept through that. And I mean and and I'm part of of that same problem because I Well, I there too. Because that was I mean, we should have when when Soviet Union fell like it did, we should have been on the lookout for the scurrying rats.
For the communists that were on the loose, looking for a new place to hold up so they could they could keep their their power.
[00:24:20] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:24:22] Bryan Goodwin:
And we didn't do that. We're like, hey. We defeated the Russians. Alright. There we go. We blah. All things good. And we had the nineties. We had 2 thousands. And then about 2,010 is Wednesday we everybody starts going, wait a minute. Something's why are there so many so many old phrases re you know, coming back to, coming back to haunt us? Why are they talking about the plight of the, of the working man? Why are they talking about, you know, black liberation theology? Why are they coming up with with all these different types of theories, gender study theories, and and and critical race theories, and critical gender theories? I mean, and all these other critical these critical and whatever theory, those were all tools that were created by the Soviets back in the back in the day. When they were trying to overturn a country, they would start instilling all this stuff so they would overwhelm the system. They were doing Cloward Pivot.
[00:25:29] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:25:31] Bryan Goodwin:
And they were slowly getting things turned around. And, I mean, they're we're starting to see a lot of what was being used on us for the different color revolutions that went on throughout the throughout the world. And they're trying to use them against us. So because if they can overwhelm the system with critical race theory, critical, you know, critical gender theory. So we've got our they've got everybody yapper and talking about, you know, this is gender. Oh, they're destroying the kid. They're they're destroying our kids. They're doing this. They're doing that. Oh, I'm doing over here, and they're doing doing each other, and they're all and everything's being thrown up. And you got, you know, mass chaos in the streets. You've got you've got, you know, people just running into stores, wiping it out, and running back, and the government's going, well, they didn't each person didn't take more than $1,000, so that's okay.
And then they stand around and bitch because, you know, all of a sudden, the stores are closed. So what are they trying to do? They try to go off and make laws that you can't actually close the grocery store unless you got somebody else who will buy it.
[00:26:33] Rich Chelson:
Well, you're saying that that that's actually illegal in all sense of the words because you cannot force anybody to do anything against their will. That's the definition of fucking slavery. Hello. But again, that is slavery.
[00:26:48] Bryan Goodwin:
That's what, that's what communism is.
[00:26:52] Rich Chelson:
Oh, I know. Oh, dude. I know you. You don't gotta tell me preach to the choir, brother. I I know that. I will, brother. But nobody know. See, that's the thing. Everyone, everyone's saying, oh, we need to pay reparations and all like this for the slaves. But like here's go, guess what? You you're being led to the led by the nose and you're enslaved yourself and you don't even freaking know it. Right. Yeah. When when's the last time? Well,
[00:27:26] Duuude-Ron :
it and this is almost freaking irrelevant. When is the last time anybody that is currently alive in the United States that has owned slaves and or have been a slave in the in the sense of the 1800?
[00:27:47] Bryan Goodwin:
In all reality, I might be the closest direct relation to that.
[00:27:52] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Relation.
[00:27:54] Bryan Goodwin:
Did you own anybody? No. No. I didn't. But at Saint John what and the reason why I'm saying that is because my I have a grand a great I don't know how many greats. Anyhow, he he was several greats, grandfather named captain John Potts. He was captain of the Confederate Army. Alright? Doesn't mean he owned slaves, but he was captain of the confederate army. His wife is the cousin to Jefferson Davis, the president of the confederacy.
[00:28:28] Duuude-Ron :
Okay.
[00:28:28] Bryan Goodwin:
So if there's anybody that might be close to being, you know, in a relation wise, close to somebody who would have slaves, probably me. But at the same time, I'm I've never owned I've never owned a slave. So
[00:28:43] Duuude-Ron :
Exactly. Going back to my original statement. When's the last time anybody knows when a that's alive right now that has owned a slave or been a slave in the United States? That we're not talking about relate we're not talking about Well well well, but that's okay. Great grandfather. Now well, here's here's another thing to throw to just to just to kinda tweak your nose. I don't know. In high school, did y'all do slave auctions?
[00:29:11] Bryan Goodwin:
No. Y'all didn't do slave auctions? No. No. Yeah. Well, the seniors were slay were were auctioned off. And, basically, you know, whoever would do it, and you'd spend, like, a a weekend or or a couple weekends Be essentially, just be we it would joke around that it was the slave, but they were it was just help auction is why they wanted it way they wanted it. But us us as high schoolers, we were like, oh, we're gonna be a bunch of slave auctions going on today. So you know? And they would they would they would have an auctioneer come in, and they would, hey. Now we got ourselves better better better better better we got alright. We got 10 notes and everybody got 10 then 1. We got 20. 20. Ain't anybody got 20. 20? That was And that was a fundraiser.
And yeah. It was a fundraiser is what it was. It's for for the senior, for the senior trip. But Exactly. Now every one of those were volunteers. Yeah. We were volunteer slaves, which Right. How exactly.
[00:30:04] Duuude-Ron :
So going back to slavery, were any of them volunteers? No. They were all forced. Forced labor. Right? Yep. So that was a choice that you made to do that. Okay. Granted, I don't care how what they call it, and it really doesn't matter. Yes. I've heard about the you know, that aspect in my senior year. No. I didn't because I was not in that that group. So I never participated. It doesn't really matter to me. No. No. It doesn't. But the the fact of the matter is is that, you know, everybody wants restitution of their ancestry of this current generation.
Okay. I'm sorry. I don't know. I don't know if any I have no idea if my family owned slaves. You know, great great great great great I don't have a freaking clue. It never came up into discussion in my family ever. So it's there's nobody here that's been a slave, that has owned a slave, but want but they want restitution for family members at work. Well, you know, I you know what? Sorry. But I did not participate in that, and I'm not gonna participate in it now. Right? Okay. If you want something if you want somethings, go out and get it. Don't let you know? Anyway, Jesus.
Well, so On top of my on top of my fucking horrendous 48 hours, which we ain't gonna go into tonight, you know, now getting wound up about this.
[00:32:03] Bryan Goodwin:
Fuck. Fuck. Yay. We got dudes I hope the gears finally.
[00:32:09] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Yeah. I yourself, I don't fucking wake up today. Rich. I I I just think it is utterly fucking it's stupid.
[00:32:22] Rich Chelson:
Well, I agree. I agree a 100%, sir. Yeah. No. No. It is. And and see, that's where that's where we as as American people just need to stay stand up and say no.
[00:32:35] Duuude-Ron :
We have Okay. But how many how many elected officials are gonna do what their people ask them to do? It doesn't matter if it's Democrat, Republican.
[00:32:48] Rich Chelson:
Okay. Independent,
[00:32:50] Duuude-Ron :
Whig party. It doesn't matter. Okay, dude. 90 plus percent of them are gonna do whatever the hell they wanna do to line their pockets.
[00:33:01] Rich Chelson:
Hold on. Hold on. You get 100,000,000 people because there's 380,000,000 in the US alone. Get 1, get 1 third of them, get 1 third of the people in the United States of America to stand up with one voice. And I guarantee goddamn to you right now, everybody up in Washington would listen.
[00:33:24] Bryan Goodwin:
And actually and all actuality, you don't even know that many. Now that would definitely be a huge voice. Oh, yeah. No. I mean, it would be a bell. But in all reality, you need maybe 5% of population all talking in one voice, and you will make a change. Yeah. I mean, come on. You've got you've got less than Nobody. 1% of the population is actually gay. Right. Even fewer actually have gender dysphoria. And yet we've got all this craziness going on. It's not because they've got gender dysphoria. It's because they you know, they're it's the end it's the end thing to do.
It's the it's the big fad.
[00:34:09] Rich Chelson:
Well, that's all it is, really. It's a fad.
[00:34:12] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. But, again, you've gotten you've got you were affected culture that strongly. All you have to do is get maybe 5% of the population to talk in one voice, and you snap people's heads around.
[00:34:30] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:34:32] Bryan Goodwin:
If you get 33% of the of the of the country
[00:34:36] Rich Chelson:
Oh, shit. No one's ignoring you. No. Check this out. I just looked it up. In the United States in 2022, a Gallup poll concluded that 7.1% of adult American adult Americans identified as LGBT QIA alphabet people, whatever. Right. But yeah, 7.7.1 percent of P of adult people in the United States.
[00:35:06] Bryan Goodwin:
So how many of those would end up disappearing the moment that bad falls off?
[00:35:11] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. They'll, yeah, they'll shut up. But, but see, that's the thing. Okay. We hear, we see commercials. We hear it on the radio ads. We see it on the internet ads, LGBTQIA or whatever, plus minus XYZ everywhere. 7.1% of the American people are gay and, and, and well, right. But, but still for, for easy math and for the sake of argument, 7.1 1 percent and look at the voice they have, look at what they're doing. Look at the look at what they're causing. Right. Now take that same 7.1% and point it to Washington DC over the ship. We need that everyone needs to have lower prices to live better pay, better working conditions, shit like this.
What can we get done? Think about it. Think about it. It is possible. It's doable, but no one wants to rock the boat.
[00:36:25] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, it's not so much that they wanna rock the boat or not. They there's a lot of people who don't think. Sorry. A lot of them don't think that they're gonna make a difference. Oh, I know. That I The yeah. I've wasted about it before, and they said they would change, and then they don't. They you've heard forever. I mean, one of the biggest, one most common, jokes out there is that, the 4 common types of of liars. You know, your par your parents said you could never make it as a law as a liar holder.
[00:37:01] Rich Chelson:
On. Damn. Brian had a frog in his throat. Yeah. I'm I'm dying here.
[00:37:06] Bryan Goodwin:
But, you sure it was a frog? No. No. Actually, it was a it was a Frito chip. So Oh, okay.
[00:37:13] Duuude-Ron :
I don't know. I don't I I have my I don't watch you guys. I I have my phone up on my shoulder, so I can hear y'all. So it's not like I can see you. So But I've been calling the computer.
[00:37:27] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, I I don't have a computer with me. I'm just using the phone. But I'm But it
[00:37:34] Rich Chelson:
I've got my laptop. So I I have a laptop.
[00:37:37] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I don't I don't have
[00:37:40] Rich Chelson:
Hey. Laptop. Hey. When I'm traveling, and I know I have to podcast,
[00:37:45] Duuude-Ron :
I I I bring I bring my laptop. You know? Right. Other than I know. You you have your laptop. You have your tablet. You have your phone.
[00:37:54] Rich Chelson:
No. I left the tablet at home, actually. I didn't bring the tablet.
[00:37:58] Bryan Goodwin:
Wow. You're gonna be able to fly as a fly as a drone as well now.
[00:38:02] Rich Chelson:
Oh, shit.
[00:38:04] Bryan Goodwin:
Why Yep. The phone. You you forgot your drone, didn't you? Yeah. I
[00:38:08] Rich Chelson:
did. Uh-oh. I was excited.
[00:38:12] Bryan Goodwin:
I got to see the kids. Yeah. I mean, the first time Damn. I forgot to I forgot to pack.
[00:38:19] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. No, I brought,
[00:38:22] Rich Chelson:
I brought clothes and everything, but now I figure, I figure is kids going to be tackling on me for the next couple of days anyways. So, oh yeah.
[00:38:33] Bryan Goodwin:
Make sure that make sure that back hurts
[00:38:36] Duuude-Ron :
really, really well for you. Oh, yeah. Yeah. No problem. Would have been an excellent thing up on your dash for your g or for your, navigation, wouldn't it?
[00:38:45] Rich Chelson:
The what?
[00:38:46] Duuude-Ron :
The tablet for navigation?
[00:38:49] Rich Chelson:
Oh, I just use my phone. Yeah. I mean, I don't I don't I don't have a holder for my tablet yet in my g. Oh, so
[00:38:57] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I've been done you don't have one of those that's because you don't have one of those high speed bars like I have on mine. Right. I do not have one of them high speed bars yet. You need to get one of those high speed bars. Well, you know, I I'm I'm
[00:39:13] Rich Chelson:
I'm working on it, man. I'm I'm I know. I'm deciding on my roof right now. I know. I know. It's like, fuck.
[00:39:22] Duuude-Ron :
So You're right. I got you know? Again, the last right? Or the whole important of the 2 evil.
[00:39:32] Rich Chelson:
Say that again. You broke up a little bit. Right.
[00:39:36] Duuude-Ron :
The importance of the 2 evils. A little bar for my Jeep, a roof of my investment of the house.
[00:39:43] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right.
[00:39:44] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. That's Not real not really, you know, there's no thought in that one.
[00:39:50] Rich Chelson:
Right. So but but say the bar for the Jeep is a whole lot cheaper than a roof for my house. I understand.
[00:40:00] Bryan Goodwin:
At least just slightly.
[00:40:03] Duuude-Ron :
So true.
[00:40:05] Rich Chelson:
But yeah. I know. Yeah. I would I would I would hate for my roof to to eventually totally just cave in and do all sorts of damage.
[00:40:16] Duuude-Ron :
It must. Yeah.
[00:40:17] Rich Chelson:
I mean, yes. I got insurance, but it's not enough.
[00:40:21] Duuude-Ron :
And it never end it will never end. It never will be. No.
[00:40:26] Rich Chelson:
Right. No. I know. It just, I don't know. One day, I will get one now. I'll get a fancy little bar for my Jeep.
[00:40:38] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. But Hell, for that matter, you could freaking probably build one out of a fucking piece of a pipe that you buy in the fucking, the LOs
[00:40:50] Rich Chelson:
Well, that is true. For that for that matter. Yeah. I mean, yeah, I could just use a little 1 inch or or a 3 quarter inch, conduit piece.
[00:41:02] Duuude-Ron :
So Yep.
[00:41:04] Rich Chelson:
And then and then get a holder and mount it to it.
[00:41:09] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. I I figured y'all were talking about an alcohol bar. I was, like, going, I I don't know how you get a conduit to to to hold to hold your shots, but okay. I I was kinda curious on this one. Man, you are way the hell out there. Hey. You're gonna have if you're gonna have a a nice Jeep, you gotta have a rolling bar with it. You know? That whole back seat's not being used for anything.
[00:41:33] Rich Chelson:
I don't have a back seat.
[00:41:35] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, that's even better now. You got some place flat to put one of those giant globes. Got all the glasses, the decanter, and the whiskey, and all that.
[00:41:44] Rich Chelson:
Yes. But, yeah, only if I stay on pavement. I couldn't go I couldn't take it on the trail, man. Yeah. You could. Strap it down. Damn it. Yeah. No one made a way, I will. Shit. Shit. I'd break the whiskey on the way.
[00:42:01] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, no.
[00:42:03] Duuude-Ron :
And that's the only place where you could have it because if you have it on the pavement, yeah, that, yeah, that would probably not go over well.
[00:42:10] Rich Chelson:
Right. Yeah. Right. Right. See, damned if I do and damned if I don't on that one.
[00:42:16] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. Right by.
[00:42:18] Rich Chelson:
No. No. No. I had to pull my back seat out because my latches won't latch to the tub. I don't know if the latches are broke or if it's the cables. I pulled it apart, tried to figure it out, and I I I haven't been able to,
[00:42:35] Bryan Goodwin:
figure it out yet. You gotta figure it out.
[00:42:38] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. So so I just it's it's like it's like there's no sense in having a back seat in there if if I can't latch the bottom because it's weird because one day, this was earlier this year, I had to top off. You know? Right. Had the back seat sitting up like it was supposed to, and I thought it was latched.
[00:43:01] Bryan Goodwin:
K.
[00:43:02] Rich Chelson:
I get on I ten, and I started boogieing. Next thing you know, my whole back seat went, and just I and and the thing is, I saw it in the rearview mirror. I just reached back and just because I didn't know what it was gonna do. I mean, it was still locked by the front latches. Right. Okay. But I didn't know what was going on. So I sat there and held it. It's like, okay. And I freaking got off on the shoulder, got out and looked and yes. Yeah. Sure. Shit. My back latches Weren't latching. Yeah. They're yeah. They weren't latching. So I just rolled it and folded it and it stayed.
[00:43:40] Bryan Goodwin:
But, you know, I'm I'm thinking Well, that's where you that's where the kids come into play. You put you put them in the back seat. That makes it fun. So you turn real hard. You don't watch the what?
[00:43:49] Rich Chelson:
Well, you know, that thought did cross my mind, and, yes, the kids probably would love that.
[00:43:56] Bryan Goodwin:
Britney would probably hate me for the rest of my life. Well, that's Britney Britney's Britney. I mean, come on. Moms kill all the fun. So that's that's her job. So you just make sure you put a put a put a, one of those, one of those kitty, football helmets on their head so that at least they have the impression of protection and Right. Right.
[00:44:15] Duuude-Ron :
Well Go cut some cow nuts. If you wanna if you wanna if you wanna scare them, detach your, oh, what the hell is it called? Jeez. Sway bar. Disconnect your sway bar.
[00:44:29] Bryan Goodwin:
No. That's a good thing. Go over some railroad tracks.
[00:44:33] Duuude-Ron :
And not over railroad tracks around a corner.
[00:44:37] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Yeah. You you you yeah. Freaking disconnect the sway bar and just and just drive down some of these roads,
[00:44:45] Duuude-Ron :
even the paved roads. Oh, yeah. I do.
[00:44:48] Rich Chelson:
Look at it.
[00:44:50] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You just have to know what you're doing. Well, yeah. But it would be it would be hilarious for somebody not knowing what the hell is going on.
[00:45:00] Bryan Goodwin:
Why are we swaying the wrong way?
[00:45:02] Rich Chelson:
Well, the thing is thing is what's funny is is, Breezy and MJ probably would think it was fun to say, do it again, Naka. Do it again. Do it again. Do it again.
[00:45:15] Duuude-Ron :
You know? I mean, that was When you when you got that front end going so far up in the air Right. Going around the corner, you know what the hell is going on, but nobody else does. Right. Or, yeah, the kids are gonna think it's fun. The other grown ups are gonna be like, what the hell is going on here?
[00:45:36] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. Right. Yeah. No. What the wide, wide world of sports is going on around here? Yeah.
[00:45:43] Duuude-Ron :
You ever seen a Jeep go around a corner that doesn't have the, the sway bar disconnected on the front? Yeah. Oh, it is fucking hilarious.
[00:45:54] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That front end, it springs. I I mean, you get some really good flex. You get some really good flex.
[00:46:03] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. You do.
[00:46:06] Rich Chelson:
But yeah. No. It just, yeah. Like I said, the kids would love it.
[00:46:12] Duuude-Ron :
You took the back but you put the took the back seat out, and now you just need to, what, put, 2 24 inch subwoofers with a 800 watt amp amplifier in the back. Yeah. I could. Is that what you're gonna do with the face?
[00:46:32] Bryan Goodwin:
Connect a couple of those boat speakers up to the top of your roll cage?
[00:46:35] Rich Chelson:
No. I ain't doing that. That is so gay. Oh, I know. I I mean, that is the that's just gay because believe it or not, I've got a factory set up. Okay? Yeah. And and with my factory setup, I've I've got an, 8 inch sub.
[00:46:57] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. So do I. No. I got a 12 inch.
[00:46:59] Rich Chelson:
Okay. But, yeah. Yours is newer. Right?
[00:47:04] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Mine's an 18. My subwoofer is up underneath. And my subwoofer is why the hell they put it there beyond me. They put it on in the floor of the rear of the Jeep, and my box covers it. Yep. Even though my box covers it, it I can still fucking though.
[00:47:24] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. No. No. Because because believe it or not, when a when a Jeep did this, like, just like in my 2012, Maya 2012 is is in the back tub behind some plastic or was well, it has a plastic housing. And, I mean, it honestly, for a stack system, it thumps, you know, pretty damn good. And, speakers in the soundbar and the tweeters on top and the speakers in the front dash, they all Yeah. They all are are still clear as shit, you know. But I do well, my head unit is, is starting to fade out because it won't it it won't scan a a radio station. It just scans forever.
[00:48:13] Bryan Goodwin:
So it it it's caught the rain just a couple too many times.
[00:48:17] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. And and
[00:48:19] Rich Chelson:
and the freaking display is starting to fade on one side and everything. I I mean, it's it's it's old. It's been it's, you know, it's been out there for a minute, but the, system I did price with my back seat still installed was, 26100. And that was head unit speakers, install. Yeah. It's yeah. It's
[00:48:47] Bryan Goodwin:
yeah. What'd you do? Go look around and do do some shopping in the old Crutchfield magazine or something?
[00:48:53] Rich Chelson:
No. No. No. No. I got went to a audio shop that was, recommended for down there. Oh. Because, this guy work works on a lot of Jeeps and people bring his Jeep bring Jeeps to him from all over the country. And and, the head unit was gonna run me $500, which is that's about normal. It's, you know, for for a good head unit. The set of speakers as well, I I think for the, say, for the sound bar and for up front, they was gonna run, like, 350 heat. Altogether, all the parts was gonna run me about 13, $1400, and the rest was labor running the because they was gonna run new wire.
[00:49:43] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. But but the monster over the big giant, you know, double lot
[00:49:48] Rich Chelson:
cable through everything. Well, and and and there was an amp I was gonna put in, that, that, you could put change the image on it and stuff like that. So so that's why that's why it was gonna be $26100, you know? And I mean I mean,
[00:50:06] Bryan Goodwin:
I still wanna do it, but, yeah, right now my roof is taking precedence. Yep. Oh, I don't blame you there. But I mean, I don't I I'm You know what? That would do nothing, though. I don't I don't need a big, spancy, speaker system like that. Because I listen to podcasts all the time. I mean, as long as I can get a clear voice ringing through the speakers, stock works just fine for me.
[00:50:31] Rich Chelson:
But say, I want to annoy everybody. Everybody.
[00:50:37] Bryan Goodwin:
I mean, I like to annoy everybody.
[00:50:40] Duuude-Ron :
What? With what? With fifties country?
[00:50:43] Rich Chelson:
No. No. No. No. No. The shit I listen to,
[00:50:55] Duuude-Ron :
God. It's been a it's been a fucking day since I what was that? The squirrel song or Yeah. And then it's been a day since I heard that. Oh, yeah.
[00:51:06] Rich Chelson:
No. That's,
[00:51:07] Duuude-Ron :
yeah. Yeah. No. Those those Crazy frog or what?
[00:51:11] Bryan Goodwin:
No. It wasn't great. That's not Crazy Frog. Well, there I mean, Crazy Frog did several songs.
[00:51:17] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. They he did. I liked some of his songs, like Axle f and Oh, Breezy's favorite song is Axle f, dude.
[00:51:25] Rich Chelson:
I remember What? By by frog? Yeah. Yeah. I remember I remember, God breezy, I think was 2, 2a half. I was, I was, I was, I was babysitting her and we sitting in my room and cause, you know, I had my microphones, I had to make sure I had all this and, and, breezy said something about crazy frog. Yep. And I'm like, what are you, honey? What are you talking about? Crazy frog gunkam, crazy frog. Okay. So, so I did a search for crazy. I had never heard of crazy frog. Okay. And, and, brought it up and I said, which one is it, honey? Because there was a few and she picked it out from the picture from the thumbnail.
She's like that one, I'll come. And, and I played it and it was axle f and oh my God, that girl, she would just sit there and just watch it and just, and just she said, look, I'm come look, You know? And and then and then it would get done. She's like, play it again, uncle. Play it again.
[00:52:29] Duuude-Ron :
And it's like, oh my god. Now I could sit down and listen to crazy frog acts left for a little while. I I do like his version. Same way with his version of popcorn. You remember the song popcorn, right, by Well, yeah. I'm not butter. Yep. Uh-huh. So and then there's another eighties song that Crazy Frog did that I really like, and I can't remember the name of the song off the top of my head. But, hell, you got the computer, and you can research it and probably give me the name there, Rich. So, anyway
[00:53:03] Rich Chelson:
Give me a minute.
[00:53:05] Duuude-Ron :
I'm sure that I got plenty of minutes. That's all I got. It's fucking time. I just I don't fucking need any more goddamn time.
[00:53:16] Rich Chelson:
Change? So is it, Tricky, Beverly Hills? No. That's Axelif. That's it. Let's see. Hang on. Let let me get to a list. See, Tricky would be, what's that? Run DMC or the Beastie Boys?
[00:53:33] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. It's not Tricky. Okay. But, yeah, that's Run DMC.
[00:53:37] Rich Chelson:
Okay. Yeah. It's I was I was gonna say, I know I know that song.
[00:53:41] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Tricky got got real popular there for a bit because, there was a video game for PlayStation called SSX Tricky, and, that was kind of their main song that they played in the opening and stuff. And, essentially, SSX Tricky was well, Stoney Hawk, but skate, for snowboards.
[00:54:04] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:54:05] Bryan Goodwin:

[00:54:10] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Now see, now we're back to freaking video games again. We're try Yeah. We're trying to send this to the Amazon.
[00:54:17] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay? Y'all just got finished with cheap, so let me talk about something that that I actually have a clue about. Hang on. Hang on, dude.
[00:54:26] Rich Chelson:
We are the champions? Nope. Nope. Last Christmas?
[00:54:31] Duuude-Ron :
Nope.
[00:54:34] Rich Chelson:
ChaCha Slide?
[00:54:35] Duuude-Ron :
Nope.
[00:54:37] Rich Chelson:
That's all the ones they're listed, man. Because It was a 80. Well, that's well, I mean I mean I mean, We Are the Champions is
[00:54:47] Bryan Goodwin:
Queen. Yeah.
[00:54:50] Rich Chelson:
Last Christmas is that's that's an older song. That's Wham. Last
[00:54:55] Bryan Goodwin:
Christmas.
[00:54:57] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Oh god. Now he's singing.
[00:55:01] Rich Chelson:
Now there's Okay. No. No. No. No. Hey. Check this out. What? Check this out. I I freaking brought up the, Wikipedia page for Crazy Frog. Right? Okay. It was Crazy Frog was was originally known as the annoying thing. And, the the actual crazy frog is a computer generated animated character.
[00:55:31] Duuude-Ron :
That's correct. Yeah. Okay.
[00:55:34] Rich Chelson:
And he was created in 2003 by actor and playwright, Eric Wernquist. And, say, where was it? I read, Susan, in, in 97, there was a 17 year old Gothenburg student, Daniel Mala, Medal. I don't know. Recorded himself making noises. The noise is produced by a 2 stroke engine, and he put those on a website. And, a, Swedish, television, say a researcher, got him to perform live on the air. And then I guess that's how that's how it all got, going. And, and they started doing crazy, you know, crazy frog stuff. So I just thought I just thought it it was all it was all done over in Europe. I didn't know that. Well, it's kinda like,
[00:56:35] Bryan Goodwin:
oh, what I had I was looking it up because you got, like, some of the the more popular, meme songs that that popped out here recently. Like the, Anton, Anton Dodson, the hide your kids, hide your
[00:56:52] Rich Chelson:
wife, guy. Never heard that one.
[00:56:54] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, well, you gotta look it up for a remix. There there's, great great video or, remix of that. Sweet brown and, ain't nobody got time for that? Okay. Not heard of that one either?
[00:57:13] Rich Chelson:
No. No. Sorry, dude. I can't help you out with that one. No. No.
[00:57:21] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, that one and, yeah, I would since you've got the computer, you'd be able to look it look that up, though. They'll be on YouTube. There's, like I said, it's, Anton Dodson, hide your kids, hide your wife, remix. And then, yeah, then there's, sweet brown. I was trying to think there was another one. There was, like, there was 3 of them that got real popular, just all kinda right along with each other.
[00:57:55] Rich Chelson:
Is this is is, this the dude off Friday?
[00:57:59] Bryan Goodwin:
No. No. He's he's he's not on Friday. He's not on the movie. He was he was he was he grew up in the ghetto, and he was he's in the ghetto, and he's very much obviously gay. And, yeah. The guy who mix who mixed his, oh, what is no. Let's see. I can't think of what the third one is. It I it'll jump into my head for a half second, then it bleed it falls out of my ear. But now my favorite one, though, is the sweet brown. You ain't nobody got time for that. Sweet sweet brown. Sweet brown from Oklahoma City. Yeah. I'd I I, I was going down for a cold pop. I thought somebody's barbecuing.
And I thought, oh, sweet Jesus. It's a far. I ran outside.
[00:58:49] Rich Chelson:
What's the name of the song?
[00:58:51] Bryan Goodwin:
Just just look for sweet, sweet brown remix.
[00:58:58] Duuude-Ron :
So I think, so it's all the first thing to just
[00:59:03] Rich Chelson:
Ain't nobody got time for that. Ain't nobody got time for that.
[00:59:07] Bryan Goodwin:
Ain't nobody got time for that. Ain't nobody got time. Ain't nobody got time. Ain't nobody got time for that.
[00:59:13] Duuude-Ron :
Don't you?
[00:59:15] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah.
[00:59:17] Rich Chelson:
I I've I've got them saved up. I'll watch them. Yeah. Because I'm afraid if I try and watch them now, it might kick zoom out. I don't know what it's gonna do. It might. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe a little too much bandwidth or Right. Because I, well, I mean, I mean, it's showing I've got full, full bars of Wi Fi in this room, and that's great. And things have been moving pretty good, but
[00:59:41] Bryan Goodwin:
I really don't want to test Yeah. You don't want to test it. To get to see how it goes.
[00:59:46] Rich Chelson:
Speeds because they, they, they definitely
[00:59:51] Bryan Goodwin:
don't match my download speeds. No. No. They don't, Seth. No.
[00:59:57] Duuude-Ron :
No. But
[01:00:00] Bryan Goodwin:
so bam. So, jumping over at a different topic. I guess, one thing I was kinda talking about was we had the as the stomach turns, episode happened this, this last, well, it's been happening for the past past 2 weeks. But,
[01:00:17] Rich Chelson:
Right. But but we just started talking about it last week. Right?
[01:00:21] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So so He he was acting he was acting the fool, and then this, this, this Sunday, yeah, I had a, I had a, a little, little bitch session at him. I've got I've yelled at him for a bit, told him he's better stop, stop acting like an idiot because he's fixing to get, get taken to the cleaners. And then Friday, he decided to alright. Well, I'm gonna send off another another little, little text message, over to, over to my daughter and went, basically, it was like, well, I'm not paying anything y'all and and stuff, but I think I'm just gonna go ahead and because what they found what they found out is he and what he did I guess, let's get a little detail here. One of the things that he did is he went ahead and he searched because he it's been about 2 months, and he hadn't seen anything back. And, I mean, it's a it's a legal it's a it's a rational thing to worry wonder about because he hadn't received any type of information back on the, on the on the, on the custody order that, that they put together.
[01:01:34] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[01:01:35] Bryan Goodwin:
And so and he'd kinda been bitching and moaning about that. He's like, well, I don't think y'all y'all really doing so. I think y'all are just taking me for a ride, and y'all are just trying to take advantage of me, and blah blah blah blah blah blah. Dude, dude, you're barely making $18 an hour, which is decent, the size you've ever made. Okay. But you're you're not you're not all that, nor are you, nor do you have a bag of chips. So he, so he went on ahead, called up, called up the, the county courthouse, and they gave they directed him over towards the to the website where he could look up what the status of it is.
And, apparently, just that day, the court from what everything I've seen, which could have been on Friday or or Thursday or Friday, but anyhow, just here recently, the judge had kit had denied the the request And come to looking at it and stuff, apparently, they filled out a temporary custody order, but filled it out as a permanent. And so there was a discrepancy in there, and so the judge kicked it back because of that. Right. And mother-in-law didn't know about it. My daughter didn't know about it, but boyfriend discovered it.
And so he he was thought he had just discovered the biggest you know, he found the the clue that show who shot JFK. You know? He he thought he had got it all around. He was I ain't paying bullshit. I'm we were I'm gonna we're gonna go to court for the all this, yada yada yada. And and my daughter called. She was kinda worked up, and I was like, okay. Hold up. Hold up. I'm gonna I'll talk to you here in a bit. And so I call up, call up boyfriend. I'm, like, going, what the fuck are you doing? He's like, well, they're trying to take advantage of me. He's like, where do you see that at? It's like, well, there's right here. It's like, yeah. Did you ask Penny if she knew about it? Well, no. Well, it's probably because she doesn't know. My mother-in-law used to be a par well, she still is technically, and my father-in-law is still actually a lawyer. He's just retired.
Right. But I was like, did you get a hold of of the parties required? And he he's like, well, no. It's like, so they probably just found out about it too. My mother-in-law, Penny, she's just she's too busy trying to deal with trying to get her keep her business up and moving. She's not doing paralegal shit no more. So that's at the bottom of her her priority list. Right. She's just trying to get more customers to come in to her to her to her shop. And so he's like, oh, still, I said, I don't think that's, what they've been doing. I don't think that's right. That it's like, well, dude, you're you're sitting there bitching about not having enough money to pay the pay the child support.
You keep asking asking my daughter. It's like, hey. Can can you hold off for this month so that I can get my get my, footing? And my daughter keeps going, well, no. I don't get the chance to get my footing. I don't get a break time on on being able to of having time without my daughter. I have to have I have my daughter with me. We're always able to do stuff together. You can have you can go through and deal with it lie life as it happens in this month, and that includes paying your measly piddly little littleabitty amount, the bare state minimum, and and and deal with.
Right. And and so I Whenever I got a hold of him, I was like going, dude, you know what happens if you do half of what you're predicting? What you're threatening to do? It's like, yeah, I'm a I'll get, get a better deal. It's like, no, dude. First off, it's typically roughly about 20% of what your pay is. What your current pay is. Uh-huh. And that little that little 20 5th, state minimum is not it. Right. You're gonna probably go 1a half, two times, maybe even 2a half times above what you're paying right now. Right? Also, on top of that, daughter has unlimited legal representation.
It's like, well, I I don't have to spend money. I could represent myself. I'm going, yeah. A person who represents himself has a fool and an attorney fools as a client and as an attorney. You get that right. Yeah. You're going to have your ass served over the coals.
[01:06:16] Rich Chelson:
And do Why'd you tell him? What happened? Dude. Why? Why'd you why? Why'd you warn him? Because
[01:06:21] Bryan Goodwin:
that is what I do. Well, Brian, natural selection. Well, I know that's natural selection, but a yes. Course. I do have some time invested in this dude trying to get him to pop his I've been applying liberal amounts of Vaseline to his ears to see if I could get this damn head dislodged from his ass. Well, it hasn't worked yet. So Well, it I know it hasn't.
[01:06:46] Duuude-Ron :
But but anyhow so that was that was Monday. What you what you need to use for leverage on trying to get that popping sound is a 2 by 4. 2 by 4. Yeah. Now whether you're now whether you're using it as, say, a crowbar aspect or as a fat aspect, well, that's up to you. Right. You can you know? Yeah.
[01:07:12] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. So but I Oh, hold up. Hold up. I need to go this way. But, yeah. So then, the following day, Tuesday, he went off and where did it go? Let me look here. Oh, there we go. Did I make him look at the top? A little message over to her, on this because he I'd talked to him, I'd and I drilled it down. I was like, dude, you're you're you're you're fucking up. If you want to if you claim you wanna have so much, I see you you know, I essentially was telling him. I was like, dude, I see you see the clip. You're walking right towards it. You're the be in the pool. You're gonna walk straight off of it. And to a point, man, I I understand what he was doing. He was just he's he was people pleasing like a son of a bitch. So but anyhow, the following day, he shot over to to my daughter and to, to mother-in-law.
Let's go to court. I'm not signing my 50% over for no reason. I've proved that I'm not gonna run off of that, but I I I'll pay, I'll pay my daughter $300 every month without the, without the agreement. I'll represent myself and not and be held in contempt of, for not signing the judge's order. So if y'all want me to lose my job, my house, my new life, that was all in one, then, then do it. All over 1%, custody of the kiddo. All, y'all have a good day. Wow. Okay? That set off a firestorm, obviously. Caused me to catch shit and I ass load of fucking arrows from my daughter, from my wife because I was trying to trying to help dumb fuck not be a dumb fuck.
[01:09:02] Rich Chelson:
Dude. Sometimes
[01:09:04] Bryan Goodwin:
you just Well, no. No. You just gotta let it happen. I I know. I know. I In in I I I do realize this whether I I I mean, I'm I'm thick headed and and granted my son my son is is even worse than I am when it comes to this because he is loyal to a fault. I mean, the person has to damn near literally slip a knife between his ribs before he goes, he should not you're not my friend no more. So he and and he would do it just to be about that nice. He would go, man, I'm sorry. You you know? Like, whenever whatever boyfriend actually went off and because he thought he had a he had a ace up his sleeve, he was gonna call CPS without thinking about what our history with CPS was.
Right. That eve that was that was the the almost and and that was, like I said, almost a night, slipped between the ribs. And Jaden very politely said, man, I can't have you hanging around here. People are gonna be threatening that type of stuff. So sorry, man. They had already had it set up where he they were going to go off, and they have a a shed out the back that's, that almost like what you have, up in, up in Missouri. And they were gonna go ahead and they were gonna insulate everything, get it all decked out, run electricity to it, and, you know, have him just live there, and he could go he could come go through the, through everything. They were gonna figure out how to set up a toilet and all. I mean, give him the they were he was gonna convert this damn shed to a to an apartment for the boyfriend.
Wow. Been kicked out of the house. I mean, this is this is my son. Love him dearly. Right. Until ex boyfriend threatened CPS. And that was when he's gone, dude. I can't. But they still go and play disc golf all the time. So, you know, he's not he's not in the perma Alps. But, hey. You see, you I'm sorry. But but if if you go But again threaten threaten
[01:11:05] Rich Chelson:
Yes. CPS to my sister, we own a perma out. Right. We own the perma outs. You would you would think so. But again, my son
[01:11:14] Bryan Goodwin:
is loyal. This is where that whole phrase loyal to a fault comes into play. God love you. Well and I mean, I and at the same time, even even ex boyfriend is is he's I get what he's what he thinks he's doing. Okay? First off, he grew up in a shitty family. Alright? His dad even went as far as getting him hooked on Harold. Alright? Damn. So he is he's not had the greatest of life. So this is why I have poured so much into this young man and why I still am embattled with myself on going, okay. Well, we're not gonna I'm not talking Alexis about him anymore.
Right. I mean, that, everything there, it will be, if I do talk to him, it's gonna be a he's going to have to reach out to me, top of me. And that's what's happened this week. It's just I'm gonna have one more conversation with him this Sunday, which is when we normally talked. And it's, that's what's gonna be laid down. It's like they, alright, you're, you've you've you've played with fire or die. I took shit because of your decisions. Your decisions affected me directly. Alright? Now, beforehand, I was trying to protect, trying to get him to pay attention and to do right so that he could keep his head above water, so that he could be the person my granddaughter needs. Alright? My granddaughter needs, even though he's a little shit right now, give it about 4 years, he's probably gonna pop his head out of his ass, and he's gonna wonder what in the hell is going on. Why is there why is nobody talking to me? Why am I living by myself in a little a little bitty one bedroom house?
And why is my daughter not paying not paying attention to me? And it's gonna be because my daughter probably found another guy who was 3 times better than he is and actually decided to continue on with the with the relationship. And now Aspen probably has gone off and is like, hey. Alright. This guy is a lot cooler than than the guy who I I come and go by and see from time to time. But he's but the after that, I mean, wife was pissed at me. Because I was still going, yeah, he has gone through shit. He doesn't see he's he's 1 one, he's catchin' he's catchin' advice from from thugtards at at at at work. Alright?
They're all, oh, yeah. Well, you know, I had a I had a, I went off, gave my ex wife or my ex bitch or whatever the one I call her, a $6,000 car, and then, then the judge wouldn't even take that as a as a payment. It's like, no shit. They're not gonna take property as as a payment. They have to be able to up because what you think is $6,000, somebody else thinks is a 180 doll $180. Right. Alright? So no, they don't take property. The a Attorney General will not accept property as a form of payment. You just have to cough up $6,000.
[01:14:34] Rich Chelson:
Question. Boyfriend, how old is he?
[01:14:37] Bryan Goodwin:
He's about 26, 27.
[01:14:40] Rich Chelson:
K. 26, 27. So so his childhood, granted, is it wasn't good, you know, wasn't bad or whatnot. You know? It wasn't good. I mean, he wound up,
[01:14:54] Bryan Goodwin:
I mean, he's he's already lost his dad to, dad actually went off, got himself cleaned up about the same time that Beck's boyfriend decided to get himself cleaned. Okay. Okay. Okay. That's cool. And that's awesome. But see but hang on. Here's the thing. Here's the thing.
[01:15:13] Rich Chelson:
He's an adult. He has the choice. Oh, yeah. So so so using his past as a crutch
[01:15:21] Bryan Goodwin:
No. Not what is is null and void. No. I no. I get I get that. What? How But his past How? Because of his past, he didn't have a a good model as to how to be a properly good, healthy, noble man.
[01:15:39] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I understand that. And but but the thing is, how long have you been working with him and talking with him? About a year now. About a year. And and Little over. Yeah. Yeah. And, and,
[01:15:51] Rich Chelson:
boyfriend is still being a dumbass? Well This bad?
[01:15:54] Bryan Goodwin:
No. I mean, I mean, I I I I get to be a dumbass. He's being a dumbass this bad. And, there's a couple of excuses, and I agree. They are excuses. Excuses are nothing but but Assholes. Slobber. Assholes. Well, that's that that's that that's shit. But assholes are shit. But, but assholes are nothing more than lies that we tell ourselves. Right. I get that. Okay? So I I acknowledge the fact that I am fixing to share with you the lies that I told myself as to why I wanted to keep going with with ex boyfriend. Alright? Okay. Okay. So it's fully acknowledged. I know I'm lying to myself. I was telling myself excuses. Okay. But I wanted to show him that he had an opportunity.
And I told myself that me talking to him and him trying stuff was good. Now, I also wasn't paying attention to what he wasn't doing, and he wasn't trying. Okay. In the past couple days, I've looked back upon everything that we've done, everything I've talked about. He would say, oh, yeah. I'll do that. I'll do that. And never would do it. Right. Right. Which okay. I get that. He he wasn't doing it, and that were there was a lot of other tidbits in there. So he was definitely people pleasing or at least agreeing enough to get me to shut the fuck up. Pretty much. It's the reason why this Sunday, I'm telling him, when you hear the pop, you can call me back.
I'm happy. And I'm gonna and and I'm not just gonna go, okay. Well, oh, well, congratulations on the pop. I'm going to have them describe what that pop sounded like. Well, the thing is And how long did his ears ring after he finally got cold air to touch his ears? Right. But but hang on. Let me ask you this. Well, why do you even wanna waste
[01:17:48] Rich Chelson:
your words on that? Because
[01:17:51] Bryan Goodwin:
young men
[01:17:52] Rich Chelson:
are worth it. Yes. I agree. But but if well, okay. I can't I can't really argue with you because, like, like my nephew, Dusty. You know, it it took him. Well, he's, like, 32, 33 now. And I I actually, I think he was 26 or 27 when when, I got to working with him. Yeah. Because he would come home after work and ask me questions and, you know, I mean, we'd have long discussions and everything like this. Yeah. And that that's the problem that I had is that I was
[01:18:34] Bryan Goodwin:
I was the one he he wasn't coming voluntarily over to me. Oh, okay. That instead see, that's one of the again, one of the reasons if he wants to if he when he hears the pop, he's gotta initiate. Yeah. Yeah. Well Because I was I was essentially the one I guess you you wanna call it chasing him around. Right. Well I was the one who was, at at 5 o'clock on Sundays, I would shoot a text. You ready? And a lot of times, he would call whenever I shot that. But, again, what he was doing, it was either very I don't even I I I wanna say it's people pleasing, but it's not people pleasing. Because he would, in a not even He would not do what we talked about. Or he would do the exact opposite. Like, I just want them to go grab a, they found a place that, would've been, well, just right next door to where they, where, where granddaughter lives. Mhmm.
So he could have lived there. Everybody would know, you know, everybody would be able to go to to his house. He'd come over to theirs and be within, you know, just 2 minutes of each other. Right. The deal was they were like, no. You can't be, you can't be, a a felon, which he's a felon. He decided to do armed robbery in a convenience store, and he spent time in prison. Okay. So, again, because and I wanted to try to show him that, hey. Yeah. He went to prison. Stop using prison as a as an excuse because that was one of the thing. Well, no one will harm me because I've been to because I'm going. It's like Oh, shit. No. You're you're that's the reason why you're holding yourself back. You're the one that's holding yourself in prison still. So, but he, but anyhow, as like, first off, you know what happens if you don't tell somebody that you've been in a a been to prison and you go to one of these, apartment complexes?
It's like, no. It's like, you give them an excuse to be able to bore quickly, kick you out. Yeah. Other than that, if you're paying your bills on time, you pay that rent the first day of the month every single time, and you're right there, Jimmy, on the spot. Guess what? Yeah. They too shit. May throw a fit a bit about tell you, we we need to know that you you're a felon. It's like, okay. I got it. But I've been here for a year and a half, and y'all didn't know, and everything's okay. You know, you could've done that. But instead, what he did is he walked right in there and goes, hey. I'm a felon. Do y'all have any places open?
[01:21:16] Rich Chelson:
Wrong answer.
[01:21:18] Bryan Goodwin:
And and she's like, we talked we we expressly talked about don't
[01:21:25] Rich Chelson:
do that. Right. And well well, you see the thing is a lot of people think, well, no. That's that's the right thing to do. That's the lawful thing to do. Where does it say by law that you have to disclose that you're a felon?
[01:21:41] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, only if you're in is the businesses themselves don't even actually have to don't actually have to, require it. But, I mean, but at the same time, I mean, if you're working at a bank and you've gone to prison for theft, okay, then, yeah, you probably wanna know that the person's been there. Yeah. Okay. Okay. A bank a bank is a
[01:22:00] Rich Chelson:
a bank is not relevant here because we know we know we know a felon is not gonna work at a bank. Right. So It's not gonna happen. But but this is what I'm saying, you know, a a a freaking regular job, you know, and and these fellas say, oh, I'm I'm trying to do everything right. That's great. That's fine. I'm glad you are. But I gotta tell people this. No. You don't.
[01:22:24] Bryan Goodwin:
No. You don't actually have to wear that scarlet letter. No. There is no law
[01:22:30] Rich Chelson:
that says, unless you're a sex offender, that's different. There is a law that you have to disclose that on everything. But other than that, you don't have to tell anybody shit.
[01:22:43] Bryan Goodwin:
No. You just let your life I mean Do do you
[01:22:46] Rich Chelson:
stay out of trouble, pay your bills?
[01:22:49] Bryan Goodwin:
And when you And I mean, there there are those who there are those people who I mean, if you work at some place and you say, no. You're not a you're not a felon, and they find out, there's a lot of places that will go on ahead and turn around. No matter how well of a of a, of a of a person you are, they'll turn around and and and punch you because you lied on the application.
[01:23:13] Rich Chelson:
Okay. Okay. Okay. Hold on. But Hold on. But, again, that's Hold on. They gonna fire you for lying on the application, but yet turn around and fucking lie to you about the job you're doing or how much you're getting paid or the overtime or whatever. And that's okay.
[01:23:31] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah.
[01:23:32] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. See, I mean, I'm sorry, but I and I I I mean, I'm not I'm not arguing with you because I know. I know. You know, I know you're right because, yeah, if you allow an application,
[01:23:44] Bryan Goodwin:
especially with I've had a cat I have a yeah. Oh my god. Yeah. I've had a couple, a couple friends who were who were, had gotten themselves into trouble and and and said no. And then some jerk off who had a had an axe to grind is like would go along and whisper in HR's ears. Like, hey. Or, you know, they're they're a felon. Right? And, don't know how the fell how they how the jerk off would figure out that there was that, figure out that, he had not put it down on the on the application, but a couple times were yeah. They were like, yep. Yeah. Sorry. We're we can't have you, and let them go that moment.
[01:24:23] Rich Chelson:
But see but see, you see, see, it's a freaking double standard. I don't know. It's just, you see, this is where, this is where some of it, I mean, it's, it's all a catch 22 damned if you do damned, if you don't. Right. And and I mean, everything we've we've talked about basically on this second round is is a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.
[01:24:48] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. But And I mean, that's and that's a lot like, yeah, you know, the if you were to to juxtapose it against, like, Le Meserab, you know, you had Jean Valjean, who was this who was this felon for stealing bread. And until he changed who changed identities and changed who he was, then, then all of a sudden, he became this, you know, this pillar of the community. Right. And he was he was looked upon, you know, looked upon as a a very esteemed person. And then until they found out that he was, you know, he was prisoner 24601. And he's it's like, no. We're, you are a, are are an undesirable. We can't have you in, in the city no more. Yeah. But but you see the thing is why? Because he had changed from what he was.
Yeah. And that's And that's kinda that's a lot of what Victor Hugo was trying to try trying to describe in that in that in that whole story was that that and it's French, that French laws often don't give people who have paid their debts to society because they have a yellow letter that they're supposed to that, Jean Valjean was supposed to carry around. He had this letter saying that I he is a convicted felon and you have to show this to anybody who asked for it and yada yada yada. And he was, like, going, but I've paid my debt. Right. It's like, but the law is you still have to show everybody this. And if you don't, then you're going back to prison. But but okay. Hang on. Hang on. Take exactly what you said right there and put it right here in America today. Yeah. And it's The same thing. Same thing. Yeah. The same thing. And I think and I think it's wrong. I think that once you're done, well, I think it should be once you're done paying your debt to society.
Now, granted, there are a lot of dumb sons of bitches who love to go right back into where they were. Well, you know, let them. Say Yeah. But say, you've, you've paid your debts to the side. 5 years, if you are If you have kept your nose clean, and you have been a productive citizen, whatever that describe, whatever that is, for 5 years. That sounds like a long time, but it's not nearly as long as we'd like to think. Right. If you if you don't even If you don't get so much as even a parking ticket, I think that you're require you become a full legal citizen, a citizen again. Because and that's and that includes getting a firearm, being able to carry a weapon, be able to protect yourself again. Because that's one of the biggest, atrocities that I think we, as a modern society, was, certain inalienable rights shall not be infringed. Well, unless unless you're unless you're a felon, and then we're gonna fringe all shit all over. Yeah. But but you see, that's the thing. What about what about people that are pardoned?
[01:27:56] Rich Chelson:
A That part a full unequivocal
[01:28:00] Bryan Goodwin:
pardon. Yeah. That is that is strict of funds.
[01:28:03] Rich Chelson:
Right. They should have everything restored right then and there. I think they do, don't they? I I see. I don't know. I don't either. I don't yeah. You know, that's I I I mean but but you see, though, even e okay. Let's say someone did a, 10 year stretch. They was, they was eligible for parole at 6 years, but they chose not to go through parole. So so, when they did the 10 years, they wouldn't have to do even probation once they got out. They could walk out free.
[01:28:38] Bryan Goodwin:
Totally free. Right. But again, a lot of times, I mean, some folks don't become reformed. Well, no. I know this. Saying like that. I know this. 5 years, 5 years afterwards. If you're if you keep your nose clean, it's not so much even probation. Just as long as you as long as you don't add anything else to your record in that 5 year stretch, congratulations. You're 100% US citizen again at grade a citizen, and you get to go do whatever it is you, regular citizen does. Well, the thing is why why is it 5 years? Because most of the time
[01:29:12] Rich Chelson:
most of the time when, people get out, if they're gonna fuck up, it's gonna be within the 1st year.
[01:29:18] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Okay. I would I would be settled for two and a half years. I mean Just to give them a little bit of a buffer just so so in case they're they're doing real good, but then all of a sudden, they get sent back in. Okay. Okay. But but still
[01:29:31] Rich Chelson:
still, the thing is, they did 10 years standing. Yeah. They walked out free. No paper. No nothing. Why do they have to go for another two and a half years?
[01:29:42] Bryan Goodwin:
I don't think that's fair either, but at the same time with with the way that democrats want, to do their Screw the democrats. Well, I know. I know. I know. I know. But the way they wanna do, you know, criminal reform, which is completely bass, ackwards.
[01:30:00] Rich Chelson:
Well, yeah. And the see, the thing is,
[01:30:05] Bryan Goodwin:
oh my god. I I I mean I mean, when it comes to this shit, everybody wants to blame something in their life or blame the past. Oh, yeah. No. Blame everything else but themselves. No one wants to take responsibility for it as their eyes. I fucked up. I had to do 10 a 10 year stretch and now Yeah. I'm out. And I could and that's again. But again, that would do also fall into, I accept the fact that I would have to do another two and a half years of just keeping my nose clean to show to prove to people that, yes, I actually did learn my lesson. But you see, you Well, I I get it. But at the same time hold it. But they Why why do you have to prove anything to anybody?
[01:30:46] Rich Chelson:
Exactly.
[01:30:46] Bryan Goodwin:
You've got a full grown adult. You don't bow to another adult, do you? But well, you do if that full grown adult didn't know how to behave themselves in society and act as a damn fool and started throwing a temper tantrum and shot 2 people, and they had to go to prison. Well, then let's see. Did you really learn your lesson But while you were in in prison? So now let's Holy hell. Give you a 2 and a half years. That's all you gotta do. 2 and a half years No. You see. Of just minding your minding your business. Keep your nose clean. So so
[01:31:17] Rich Chelson:
so so so, so, even even if they do their time in prison, they still have to get out of prison and say yes to boss
[01:31:27] Bryan Goodwin:
for 2 and a half years. Yes to the boss. They just have to make sure they mind their p's and q's.
[01:31:33] Rich Chelson:
They gotta say yes to the boss for another two and a half years. For another two and a half years, they have to mind their p's and q's? No. Because Because They're go because most people are going to,
[01:31:43] Bryan Goodwin:
it's not most people, but there's are those who are like you said, within the 1st year, most of them are going to fall off. They're gonna do something stupid. They're gonna go back to their gangs and or back to their group. They're gonna get back into with the same group people that got them in thrown into prison in the 1st place. Dude, I know this, but but this is what I'm saying.
[01:32:05] Rich Chelson:
Why are you gonna force a a person who's who's been in prison to to freaking bow down to you. Because basically, you It's not necessarily
[01:32:16] Bryan Goodwin:
I I I don't I don't see that. How's that bowed down? That Because To actually have to mind the laws like everybody else does. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. In
[01:32:27] Rich Chelson:
prison, they have to bow down to the guards and do what the guards tell them. Okay? No. I get that. That is that is guaranteed. When they get out okay. Now, yes, they do know they do know that they have to follow the laws again. They do know if they don't follow the laws, they're gonna get fucked up and thrown back in prison. Okay. So so why do you wanna make them tow the line Like they're still in prison for another two and a half years to prove what they've done it for 10 years. Didn't get in trouble in prison the whole time. If, if, if, if, if they can prove that, why do you wanna make them do it another two and a half years?
[01:33:13] Bryan Goodwin:
Because I'm sure that there would be plenty of the of one side or the other that would say, well, we need to have proof that they're actually gonna keep their nosebleed. And that would be just and what that 5 2 and a half to 5 years, if there was anything, that would just be the bargaining chip. Because no. I in all reality, I'm with you. If once they got finished with it, they should be able to step out and have be reinstated with all of their rights. Right. That means they can actually legally protect themselves. They can go buy a gun and hold on to it and and and And vote. Mind themselves and don't have to go, well, I would I I did 5 10 years in prison. So may I have, have some work? No. It's Okay. I think it would work as if they were able to to I think you're it would you're right on that. But at the same time, society is still going to go, well, okay. You just spent a shit ton of time in a very hostile environment.
Did you really did you just decide to conform, or did you actually fix yourself?
[01:34:25] Rich Chelson:
Oh, woah. Woah. Woah. Okay. Okay. Hang on here. We're fixing to get on this one. Let's go with this one. Okay. Hold hold a damn minute right here. Okay? Let's shift gears just slightly. Okay? Your last statement said that that that a society said, well, you've just spent 10 years in a, hostile environment. Did you really learn something or fix yourself? Let me ask you this. What about our military?
[01:34:56] Bryan Goodwin:
How many years did they spend in a hostile environment? But they also had a different set of order. You had a chain of command that was there. In prison, yeah, you had your you had your your your your warden, you had the you had the guards, but you also had your other little factions of of gangs that were roaming around in there. You don't You also had to pay attention to You don't think there's factions in in in the military? Well, I mean, yeah, you got your gun buddies. You got your motor motor club. You got you know? Yeah. But but
[01:35:29] Rich Chelson:
but, but, but hold on here though. Hold on here though. You see, that's the thing. Who, who is, without fault to decide if if that person who just did 10 years in prison,
[01:35:46] Duuude-Ron :
who is to make the determination
[01:35:49] Rich Chelson:
that that they can be a full citizen again.
[01:35:52] Bryan Goodwin:
I mean, they Well, sadly, it's the government that has to make that full decision.
[01:35:56] Rich Chelson:
Now you see, that's the thing, though. Because Now nowadays now, it is. Half them half them half them people up there in Washington, DC are as crooked or Oh, hell yeah. No. I agree. Than a guy or girl getting out of fucking prison. Yeah. So so, I mean, you've got someone, you know, doing worse shit saying, oh, okay. Okay. You're good now. You could be a full citizen again. Bullshit. You see, this is where this is where I I have a problem to where another man tells me, another woman tells me. And and you see, when I say man, I I mean everybody. I'll go fuck. No. I I know what you're saying. You know? But Right. I I was also explaining for our listeners too that in case there was any confusion. Right? But but you see, that's the thing. I mean, I mean, I will bow down to no man, no woman in any way, shape, or form.
If if they say, well, you have to do this or or, you know, I want to see you. I'm going out. I don't care. You know? And that's the thing. This this is why I have such a hard time on this subject. Okay. They screwed up. They did their time. They did nothing wrong in prison. Okay. And they get out and yet they still have to prove themselves for another two and a half, 5 years, whatever. I mean, it's it's not real. Hypothetical. Yeah. Yeah. This is hypothetical. But still, just the thought of that, fuck, leave me in prison. I got 3 hats and a cop, baby. Right. You know, I mean, I got food. I got health care. I got a library.
You know, I I can finish my education or start another one. Fucking 5 years, I could have a mat walk out with a master's degree. Damn near. Yeah. You know? I mean Right. Yeah. See, that's the thing. So so, you know, I don't get where one man can tell another man or woman, whatever, blah blah blah. If that that they're good. But, you know, it just it just, you know, I don't I don't get it, man. I I I don't agree with it. You know? I just you you know, most of the time most of the time, like we said, within 6 months to a year, most people, if if they're gonna screw up, they're gonna screw up in that time. Now sometimes later on, things happen, and they make wrong decisions, and they wind up back in prison. Guess what?
Welcome to life, baby. You can't control it. You can't control life for someone else. Just can't. But, yeah, it seems like everybody today is trying to do that. All these all these protests and shit like that trying to force us to to to agree with them or get canceled or, or, or go along with them. No. You can't force me to change my way of thinking if I don't wanna change it. There's a lot of people that you cannot force them no matter what. They're going to stand hard. And that's, I don't know. I I'm,
[01:39:18] Duuude-Ron :
I'm just,
[01:39:20] Rich Chelson:
I'm just, I'm just like,
[01:39:22] Bryan Goodwin:
Bravo. I, you you I love the speech, though. I love the I love the talking. I love the point that that you made because they're good. They're valid, strong points. And that's, if I if there was a way to actually execute it as how you described it, I would prefer that over the over doing the 2a half to 5 years. Right. I just know that there's some people who would if we were to try to instill that, we would still have somebody, and it might be a little old gray a little old lady, or may end up being, you know, some, you know, snot nosed professor in some some ivory tower of a college, who goes, oh, we can't be doing that because they're going to return return to to violence.
And it's like, well, okay. What if they keep the what if they act acclimate themselves back into society? We give them 2 years, two and a half years to fully acclimate. After that, boom, they've got all, you know, that would be, like I said, that would be post I would come to a, to a bargaining chip. You know? Because, I mean, and it it's because I've, like I said, if you've if you've spent your if you've gone through the violence, and and the chaos of a of a fucking prison, I mean, let's get you back out into society where you could because I'm sure you've learned some new ways to actually hustle a hustle up some money in a legal fashion.
[01:40:55] Rich Chelson:
Right. I you see this thing. I I mean, you know, we just need more. See, I don't know exactly what we need, but, I mean, I mean, we just need to teach more people how to, be in better control of of their minds. Yeah. I I mean, that's, that's honestly what it is. I mean, if, I mean, watch the news. Yeah. Watch away and and and and don't even watch, but about 30 minutes of it. And you're gonna see people running around acting a fucking fool. Don't don't know what to do. And it's like, that's stupid. That, I mean, it is. It's like it because when you get to the point to where you can control your thoughts, and yes, it is possible.
It's been it's been proven by the greats, you know, what Confucius, freaking, Plato, all, all their boys, Marcus, Marcus Aurelius. I mean, if, if, if you wind up controlling your thoughts in your mind, Oh my God, the possibilities are endless. You could have endless of everything. Peace, happiness, wealth, if you want it. And I mean, it's, I mean, is it, is it something that you can walk out to the grocery store and get? No.
[01:42:23] Bryan Goodwin:
No. It's it takes time. It takes it takes, people literally paying attention to what their thoughts are. And that's the biggest challenge is because people want don't wanna think about what their thoughts are. Well, no. They just Because that's that's a challenge. That's hard. That that that takes we we wanna make sure we keep our brains we have 3 massive motivators. That is, we want to seek pleasure, avoid pain, and do it as efficiently as possible.
[01:42:54] Rich Chelson:
And that And
[01:42:56] Bryan Goodwin:
learning to pay attention to what your thoughts are is not efficient. It it's kinda painful from time to time, and it it is and it's and it's not always pleasurable because you see you see that your suffering is from you.
[01:43:12] Rich Chelson:
Right. And and people people actually just shut that down and don't believe it and blame it on something else. Right. And you see, that's where that's where that's where you can't do that. I mean, you you have to take responsibility. And I'll tell you what, that's a freaking bitter pill to swallow when you're doing that. Yeah. You know? I it it really is. I mean, I mean, I'm nowhere I'm nowhere near where I need to be, but I'm
[01:43:42] Bryan Goodwin:
I'm working on it. Yeah. It's closer than when you started.
[01:43:46] Duuude-Ron :
Whole lot closer when I started.
[01:43:48] Rich Chelson:
But yeah. Yeah. No. It it just but yeah. See, this is the shit that just irks me, though. Because it's like like well, like, take my nephew, Dusty. Right? K. I'm I mean, at first, when I started coming around and and I would hear, he'd do something stupid. Oh, I'd I'd I'd freaking jump his case. I would jump his his hard. Trying to get him to start listening. And finally, now he's it's funny and it's scary at the same time because here's a thought process, and this is what he told me the other night. His thought process and and the way he thinks mirrors mine quite a bit.
He's he's not he's he's not a 100% there, but he's he's working on it. And I've just like, I'm just like, oh my God, we're in trouble. No, no. It's good though. It's good though, because he has settled down. He, he thinks a lot more now before, you know, before, you know, if it popped into his head, he was like, fuck it. Let's go do it. He didn't care if it could have killed him or what, because
[01:45:00] Bryan Goodwin:
that's my son. Yep. Yeah.
[01:45:03] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Someone thinking
[01:45:05] Bryan Goodwin:
My son and his, the famous night of, of, him and a friend of his said, hey. It's gonna be a good idea. Let's we we got some alcohol. Let's get drunk. So they get drunk. They go to the local bar, and the local bar won't let them in. Right. And some of the patrons there were basically standing there at the door just going, no. You you kids are drunk. Get your ass soaked. And Jayden being drunk himself said, what? Wanna hit me? Go ahead. Hit me. The guy decked him, landed him out. He's like, well, I wasn't ready. Yeah. I don't care.
[01:45:44] Rich Chelson:
You
[01:45:45] Bryan Goodwin:
you say it hit you. And they they they ended up ended up walking home. And I mean, Jaden had a shiner. Like, what happened? Oh my god. I got hit. Well, he hit you. So it's just so so. And I was like, oh, okay. I know that guy. So I went and talked to them and said, said, so and so, and it's like, so what happened? He's like, oh, he wanted me to he said he wouldn't like the fact that I won't we weren't letting him into the bar. And he said, well, what are you gonna do? You gonna hit me? Then go ahead and hit me. So I did. I'm like, bro. Well, good job. Yeah. Thank you. I mean, I yeah. Took his hand, bought him a bought him a beer later on that night. And I was like, alright. Well, good job. Thanks thanks for raising thanks for making sure my kid has a, good head on his shoulder. And he does.
Now, I mean, it it it took a took a good sized fist up beside the face to Well, you know, that helps. Knock a brain loose. Wow. Oh, hell yeah. No. But And and everybody throws a fit about that, but I do. I think, especially young men, need to have an older man just kick their ass once in their life. Just show them it's like, yeah. That might be a 50 year old man, but that 50 year old man has 50 year old man arms. They have 50, they have old man strength. And that stuff is where they can they can move a tractor
[01:47:02] Rich Chelson:
if they need to. Old muscle. Old muscle. Old muscle. Exactly. I I I I remember I was work I was working at a at a recycle center and, I had some community service workers and I, it was a slow day. It was and everything we had, we had one of our trailers that that had sat out in town and people would throw glass glass bottles, plastic bottles, and stuff like that in these bins, papers and stuff. And we'd bring the trailer back, unload it, process it all right. And, and, one of the guys, he was probably old God, I'd say early twenties and I mean, nice guy, but, but yet yet kind of cocky.
[01:47:47] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. And,
[01:47:49] Rich Chelson:
Hey, Hey, we was talking about moving that trailer
[01:47:53] Duuude-Ron :
and he looked at me and he says,
[01:47:56] Rich Chelson:
you can't pick that trailer up. I looked at him. I said, how much money you want to lose?
[01:48:01] Bryan Goodwin:
He just looked at me and
[01:48:04] Rich Chelson:
his buddy was like, dude, don't do it. Don't do it, dude. And because I mean, this is a 40 foot long trailer. You know, it's not very tall. I mean, loaded probably weighs close to £3, £4,000. Right. Okay. And, he's like, no, seriously. Alright, dude. Let's bet. So we betted. Alright. I, I walked across the parking lot, set my pants. I bent down, grabbed the tongue of that trailer and just lifted it straight up. I, then I turned back and looked at him and said, where do you want me to put it? His eyes and mouth. His eyes got freaking big. His mouth dropped to the ground. He's like, hey. I come walking back.
He's like, I ain't fucking with you, dude. You got old man muscles.
[01:48:56] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, the the funny thing is old man muscles is all just knowing where where the the fulcrum is and and the levers are. Yeah. So it's not that we're any stronger. It's just I know that I can bend your finger backwards this direction. You're gonna go any direction I want you to go. So, you know
[01:49:14] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. It's it's wisdom. It's knowledge. It's experience. But but and and see, that's the thing, though. You, you say a lot of young people today, they still, they still think we're full of shit. And, and honestly, honestly, I do agree with you that that everybody at one point in their life needs a good ass kicking.
[01:49:36] Bryan Goodwin:
Absolutely. From, no.
[01:49:38] Rich Chelson:
And because, because it shows people, Hey, you're not entitled. The world don't owe you shit. World don't owe you shit. You, your pants are nowhere near as big as you think you are. Right. And, and the thing is you have to fight for what you want. It's not going to be handed to you. And I mean, you know, I'm not saying, you know, hurt him to no end or whatnot, but, you know, go ahead. Just open. Bark his ass on the, in the dirt once and just let him wonder what the hell just hit him. Yeah. You know? And, and, you know, and and maybe it might it might help him hear that pop a little earlier, you know? Yeah.
I mean, it you you know, it took me a few times to
[01:50:25] Bryan Goodwin:
hear that pop to Yeah. Well, finally finally, it was it. My son, famously because it's usually about 26 years old. The average kid will hear the pop, which if you're not familiar with, the pop is actually the sound of when one successfully dislodges their head from their anus. Yes. And so when you hear the pop, it's usually around a 26 year mark because and both of them first pop. That's the first pop. That's the that's the great that's the first big awakening.
[01:50:55] Rich Chelson:
Yep.
[01:50:56] Bryan Goodwin:
And a lot of people and a lot of times with with the the young kids, when they hit bat 26, the big pop is actually, oh, mom and dad are actually kinda smart. They they aren't quite as dumb and old and fuddy duddy as I thought they were. They were they actually have a a clue about the way the world works. And, I mean, that's the that's about the time I heard the pop. That's about that that was the time that Jaden when he turned about 26, because that's when he was, like, going dead. You lost more than I thought you were. Well, yeah.
[01:51:32] Rich Chelson:
But see, the thing is, I'd say probably not now. Maybe not everybody, but, you know, probably about in the mid thirties, you know, late, early, late thirties to the mid thirties is you'll hear a little smaller pop and you'll, and you'll actually get a little more wisdom. Yeah. You know, over everything. And then if you're if you're actually paying attention to your thoughts and stuff like this, when you hit about 50, you'll you'll sit there and think, I've lived 50 freaking years. And just sit and contemplate that number.
And and and and think about how long 50 years is, even though 50 years is nothing but a moment in, in, all of time, but still in in in our small little minds, 50 years is a long time. And think back of what you've done, all your stupid shit. And I mean, I'm not saying
[01:52:38] Bryan Goodwin:
Not though not that we got much smarter. We just got more eloquent in our stupid shit.
[01:52:42] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right. There we go. And and we know how to stay away from the cameras. Yeah. Yeah. So So I mean, gen x, baby. We I mean, we're good. But Yeah. Seriously, that's the thing, you know, and, you know, that's why that, yeah, 26 is the first major pop. I'd say I'd I'd say about the mid thirties, early forties, depending on on how you are. You get, you know, a little smarter, little wiser. And then if you're paying attention by 50
[01:53:12] Bryan Goodwin:
or just You're getting pops all all the time, but typically, they're they're your knees and your hip. Yes. Oh god. Please don't fucking
[01:53:20] Rich Chelson:
do. This is what? My third one this evening?
[01:53:25] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, really?
[01:53:26] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Dude, I'm I'm man, I Was that a Viagra? No. Biagua? No. No. It's, Goodies headache powder.
[01:53:39] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[01:53:41] Rich Chelson:
So Yeah. I couldn't. Yeah. It's a little hard since I got the background. It, likes Yeah. Yeah.
[01:53:50] Bryan Goodwin:
And don't worry. So what do y'all think of the, of the the day of a 1,000 testicles that happened earlier this week?
[01:53:57] Duuude-Ron :
The what?
[01:53:58] Bryan Goodwin:
The day of a 1,000 testicles.
[01:54:01] Rich Chelson:
What the hell?
[01:54:03] Bryan Goodwin:
Y'all not hear about the pager the the bug No. I The pagers? The what? I ain't even paid attention. Okay. Well, the act and, actually, I heard a theory on this. That is amazing. And I I I wanna pass this off to y'all, see what y'all think. Okay. So first off, to lay it out, so so in case you hadn't heard, Tuesday, thousands of pagers started, started to explode in Lebanon. Yep. Now these pages were all being blown up on people who were a part of Hezbollah. Alright? And if that brings any if that tells you anything, these were probably done by Masad, which is, Israel's CIA.
Now the theory is and I I like this theory, and I think it's probably a lot more true than the than anybody's gonna admit. That probably 6 months earlier than than what this because well, what hap what they ended up doing is they ended up getting intercepting a a shipment of these thousands of pay of pagers. And they they're not sure exactly where they they put the explosive, but they put some explosive in that pager. Either they used a injection molded explosive, charge, and put it and replaced the back of, the pager, and it was hard enough that it actually felt like plastic. Or what other people kinda thinking is they probably ended up taking the battery out and putting a half a battery, a half size battery in there, and connecting, shaped, high explosives in the rest of the battery, the rest of the battery, compartment, or ended up making a battery that looked like that was only half the size, the other half was high explosive. Either way, they got some high explosive packed inside of these char, inside of these pagers.
Right. And around 3:30, Tuesday afternoon, in in, in Lebanon time, all these pagers started going off. Just exploding. Just I mean, just almost all synchronized. And so, again, depending on where you hide your, your your or set your your pager, there's a good chance you had a testicle go or 2 go flying off somewhere in a different direction. Okay. So that's where the that's where everybody started calling it the night the day of the thousand testicle. Okay. Now So Let me let let me ask you this.
[01:56:44] Rich Chelson:
Let me ask you this. Okay? First off, why is everyone jumping to the conclusion that it's Masai? Now it could be. I'm not saying it's Because it's Israel's fighting with with, with Hezbollah. I know this. I know this. But don't you think it could be another country that's fed up with the shit that that had a hacker hacking all these and No. No. No. Because they actually had to intercept
[01:57:11] Bryan Goodwin:
and actually implant this high explosive into the Patriot. Yes. I know. I know this. So but anyhow. So but here's the here's the reason another reason why they think that they might be factory, dude. Well, it could've been done at the factory. It but more than likely what they did is they intercepted. They said, hey. Here's these pagers. And so they went through and worked on it. But the thing is,
[01:57:34] Rich Chelson:
are we sure it's Masai?
[01:57:36] Bryan Goodwin:
Could it be could it be another terrorist group? Could it be I think no. I don't think it was another terrorist group. And here and here's why. And here's why. The theory is because in to work if you were to synchronize all these explosives to go off at the same time, they did kill some, but most of them were just really severe, really severe injuries. Right. That did wasn't gonna kill them. It okay. It was a great hip replacement for, for Hezbollah.
[01:58:10] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right.
[01:58:12] Bryan Goodwin:
But what if 6 month about 6 months before, you decided you're gonna start slipping a bunch of your own agents into the hospitals of Lebanon. See. Knowing that you would have access to the computers, to everything else, and all of a sudden, one day, 3:30, all of a sudden you start getting all these Hezbollah guys coming in. And so what are you gonna do? Well, you're going to be be able to go, oh, hey, look. You've got you got a busted hip. Oh, what happened? Oh, your pager blew. Okay. That's pager. That's Hezbollah. Okay. And your name is, is, George.
Is is is, you know, is is Mohammed Mohammed Mohammed bin Mohammed? Okay. Okay. There we go. Your phone number, sis? Yeah. But And you live here. And Okay. And there's there's a picture of you. Okay. Okay. Great. Thank you. And now you've got thousands of all these documents of where this person lives,
[01:59:17] Rich Chelson:
what he does for, for Right. I know this. But, but see, the thing is you can actually arrest him and round him up right then and there.
[01:59:26] Bryan Goodwin:
Because Well, no. He they won't be able to because that's in Lebanon. That's not in Gaza. Gaza is Hamas. Hezbollah is is is Lebanon's form of of Hamas. Right. Right. Without being without being a controlling portion of the,
[01:59:42] Rich Chelson:
Now see, the thing is check out check this out. These pagers. Okay? These pagers were not hard to set up to blow at the same time. Not at all. No, I'm sure not. I mean, dude, I mean, because all these pagers have a phone number attached to them. Yeah. You just needed that list of phone numbers and set it up on an auto dial with, you know, couple banks of computers. Yeah. No. I get it. And freaking auto dial them and and set them off. But you see, I and yeah. I mean, I you see, that's the thing. I don't know. I I mean, honestly
[02:00:22] Bryan Goodwin:
And then they then yesterday, they had a bunch of walkie talkies start doing the same thing.
[02:00:28] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I know. Because because one of them, and you see now that, that is different. But because one of them had the name Icom on it, which Icom is an amateur radio manufacturer. Oh my god. The fucking ham radio community is just going in shit. Oh, we gotta talk about, you know, Icom put out a statement. This is an old fucking radio. It's not a brand new radio. Yeah. Why does Icom have to put out a statement? They don't. Why does why does YouTube ham radio YouTube guys have to put out a statement? They don't. But they do It helps their their channel out because they make a statement. But but you see, that's the thing. This is a problem with fucking America. People always keep the fear going, keep the anxiety going, keep the shit going just to keep everybody on edge.
That's why we need Xanax and fucking all this other mental health bullshit is because everybody is, oh, the sky is falling. The sky is falling. They've been saying it for 30 fucking years. If not long. Oh, yeah. Probably longer. I mean, 30 years since I've been listening. You know? Right. But yeah. Right. But still, you know, and that, you know, the see, this is what irks me. It's like, stop. So what if a radio said I come? What what is, is someone gonna flip out if if, the, say, a radio says Baofeng? I mean, it's a Chinese made radio, and it's it's actually a good radio. So you know?
[02:02:15] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. They just send their information back over to over to the motherland for you.
[02:02:21] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. You know, that's the thing. Is there any proof of that?
[02:02:25] Bryan Goodwin:
The only thing they've had is that there have been a couple of, chips that have had man in the middle attacks, where they actually were able to set up a separate chip and solder it onto the onto the motherboard Right. That would actually intercept the data and send it off. And those but, again, I forget which which What? Which chip company got
[02:02:51] Rich Chelson:
Which products?
[02:02:53] Bryan Goodwin:
That's what I was trying to remember is I can't remember which product it was. Okay. So But but it was a it it wasn't many, but there was a couple that were found to have these little little man in the middle Right. Okay. But but it was it was found and and corrected.
[02:03:10] Rich Chelson:
Right?
[02:03:11] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, as far as I know.
[02:03:12] Rich Chelson:
Okay. So so so therefore, since as far as we know with the information we have, it was found and corrected. So because, I just read some, the, DJI band on drones. That's that's that's going to Congress has passed Congress. It's it's it's fiction to go to Senate. And if it passes the Senate, 1, it's gonna shoot the price of DJI drones through the fucking roof, but it will it will ban new models. The models that they have right now, they'll sell them. But
[02:03:54] Bryan Goodwin:
there you go. There you go. Go ahead and buy yourself 2 more DJI,
[02:04:00] Rich Chelson:
right.
[02:04:01] Bryan Goodwin:
And there you go. You got your you got your, you got your house paid.
[02:04:07] Rich Chelson:
You think? Yeah. I mean I mean yeah. I I I mean, that's the thing. You know, I'm sitting here because if this passes, say the many the the drones that are being made right now can still be sold in America. Mhmm. Okay. But no new models can come out. So just because, other companies, other yeah. Drone companies, I I I I won't use the word I was gonna say. Drone companies who make shit products can, sell their shit and, maybe make a few pennies. I'm sorry, but, you know, I look at the quality of of of the drone itself. The name doesn't mean shit to me. The quality the, quality of the camera and the freaking quality of the item itself.
[02:05:06] Bryan Goodwin:
You know how they're gonna get around that. DGL get around that. Right?
[02:05:10] Rich Chelson:
How?
[02:05:11] Bryan Goodwin:
First off, they'll just keep the they'll keep the model number. So they'll make improvements. It'll but just be the 2025 version of the Mavic 2 pro.
[02:05:22] Rich Chelson:
Well, you see, the thing is, though, like like with the Mini 4, unless they put on a brand new camera, they can't. But, but no, you see, that's the thing. I mean, the way I understand it with the bill, any new models. So so in other words, if you change anything and call it the 2025 version, that is considered a new model.
[02:05:48] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. Well, no. It'd be then they won't even add that. They'll just say, you'll just they'll just have some way for people to be able to look at it and go, okay. This is 2025. I know this one's gonna have the more current, chipset.
[02:06:02] Rich Chelson:
Right. Because, you see, I don't I ain't see. That's the thing. It's it's, it's just a fact that drone manufacturers are upset because they didn't keep up because they, they thought people just wanted to fly a drone and, and run around and act a fool. Now people fly drones for real and, you know, drone drone usage in, in the workplace today has has been a big help. Oh, yeah. You know, safety wise and and time wise and everything.
[02:06:45] Bryan Goodwin:
Heck. I mean, they're the the state of, or not the state of California, but the, insurance companies in in, California are actually using drones to see if you've got too much shit too close to your house so they can go off and drop your insurance.
[02:07:01] Rich Chelson:
Really? Yep. That's crazy. Yeah. I mean I mean, the thing is, I would believe that. I I I mean, I just I would. I would flat believe it, you know, and it's sad, though. You you see? That's why that's why I just, you know what? Let me be in my house. Let me run out to the beach. Let me sit by the water. Let me play on my ham radios, and leave me the fuck alone
[02:07:31] Bryan Goodwin:
and get off my lawn.
[02:07:36] Rich Chelson:
And you wonder why I'm grumpy. Well, I know why we're grumpy. Oh, man. I get oh, God. Oh, I I just get, man. It it's it's it's so frustrating because and you know, the funny thing is years ago, I used to be like people are today. Yeah. And and this is what frustrates me because it's like, if I can figure it out, people, it ain't that fucking hard.
[02:08:06] Bryan Goodwin:
No, it's not. It's not hard at all. It's just, it just, again, is do you, I mean, a lot of people find that drama is is a good buffer. And that's what a lot of people use it. I mean, they're always looking because everybody does something because they wanna change how they feel inside.
[02:08:26] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[02:08:26] Bryan Goodwin:
So doing drama gives them a chance to be able to point fingers at somebody else and go, ah, my life ain't near as bad as theirs. Because look at this son of a bitch. They've gone fucked up 10 ways to Sunday, and they can point point to that. And they feel a they feel a little better about themselves because it's drawn their attention away from their words.
[02:08:50] Rich Chelson:
Right. But okay. Okay. On that on that right there, she's she gonna get me wound up again. I know you are. You're you're already you're already getting me wound up. Well, don't get too wound up. We only got 30 minutes left. I know. I know. I I but but no. Like like, with that statement right there, that person who says, oh, oh, look at that son of a bitch. You know, why the hell they do that? They shouldn't do that. It's like, holy. How can they actually say that about that person when when they have no control over that person? I mean and and who's to say that this person's saying the first person's saying the shit is right.
No. I I got you. I I and I What if the other person's right?
[02:09:35] Bryan Goodwin:
Because what it is is they're going off of what their set of directions are. I wouldn't go off and act like that. You're right. You wouldn't. You've had a you've operated off the model that you do this instead of that. Right. That person's operating off of the model that causes them to do that. Now can they change that model? Hell, yeah. You could change the model anytime you want. Yep. And that I mean, again, if we wanna go back hearken back to, as stomach churns sub segment, it's as boyfriend can chain. He doesn't have to be the victim of everybody picking on him. Right. He can actually decide, you know what? They might be telling me all this information to save my ass.
That may also be telling me this this so that they can take advantage of. So I get him I get both sides of why he acts the freaking fool. Right. But the second one is because he's so damn ignorant of family law that he's not going he that he doesn't realize that, one, you don't represent yourself at all in any court system. No. No. Never. That's That makes for really good movie, but that's
[02:11:00] Rich Chelson:
it. Well, no. I mean, actually, I I don't know, but I mean, now now if you've been to law school and passed the bar and are actually a lawyer,
[02:11:10] Bryan Goodwin:
you would still get a lawyer to represent you.
[02:11:14] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Most of them will. I mean, it is possible. People have done it and won. Mostly people lose.
[02:11:24] Bryan Goodwin:
But Yeah. Then they wind up being even worse because of it. Right. But but
[02:11:32] Rich Chelson:
but, see, that's the thing. You know? It's like it's like it sounds like boyfriend is
[02:11:38] Bryan Goodwin:
a major liberal is what it sounds like. No. Not so much a liberal. He is just he hasn't he hasn't had good modeling as to as to what, as to how to behave. Okay. To to say it to say it that way, and that still doesn't sound quite that's not still not quite right. But he hasn't had the modeling of okay. How I mean, when you grew up at a place where, you know, yeah, you've got you're you're in an area of drama. When you have illicit drugs and alcohol involved in a in a, in a family, that family is going to be chaos. Yep. Pure chaos. There is not I mean, my we used to joke that my household was chaotic.
Right. But it wasn't run by chaos. There was a that we where it was an attempt at order. Right. Right. It's just you you had the randomness of children running through the house at random times. You're like, wait. Hey.
[02:12:44] Rich Chelson:
Why do I why is there 7 of you now? So Yeah. It's like, hold it. I had 2. And now I yo. Yeah. When when I was married to my second wife, Robin, I mean, we had, we had her one daughter. And, I mean, good God, one Saturday, I got up. There was 1 kid. And less than 4 hours later, we had 10. I'm like, what the whole town come over to the house.
[02:13:10] Bryan Goodwin:
Who are you? I don't know you. Right. There was,
[02:13:14] Rich Chelson:
there was 1 or 2 kids. I'm like, yo, who are you? You know? And, and it was funny. The kids loved it because of course, they would freaking get me to playing with them, you know? And I mean, I mean, oh, and then if I was home, at least one day, all the kids in town was would be over at the house wanting to play because they was wanting to hang with me. And it's like, guys, I wanna rest. I had to go I had to go jump back in the truck just to get around. Just get some Z's. Yeah. It's like, dang. No. I I mean but, yeah, it is it is funny how how things happen like that. Yep.
[02:13:53] Bryan Goodwin:
So Alright. Well, guys, I wanna say thank y'all very much for listening. We're gonna go ahead, and we're gonna start getting this puppy, landed. And we run this show as a value for value model. We run it off of podcasting 2.0 standards, which means that you have the ability to catch other features that normal podcasting does. Now you may see some shows have have chapters. And, yeah, that's okay. But the there's advantages to podcasting 2.0 chapters that blow the other chapters out of the way. Did you know on podcasting 2.0 chapters, you can actually put a working link? You can actually click a link. Yeah. We, from time to time, will have links to to, news articles that reference something that we're talking about. So you probably will see a a news article in about podcast about, about the night of the 1,000 testicles.
Somewhere on on the show notes for, if you were using a podcasting 2.0 compliant app. Something along the lines of podcast guru or a fountain or something like that. We also have the ability to go live. Now we didn't do it live this time, but there are times that you can actually come in and listen to us, record this show as it's being recorded from 7 o'clock at night on on a Thursday night up until 10 o'clock. So there's a big, big, old swing in there where we will have a just have a good old good old time just talking, and you could actually jump in there. And if with the podcast 2.0 compliant, app, you can actually even send us boostograms and send us comments, and we would reply to those comments as they came in.
So podcasting 2.0, great way, and it's all thanks to value for value. Now one of the great things about value for value is that it's what do you think we're worth? Because some people will go, well, how much should I pay you? I don't know. What do you think we're worth? And then you get to choose, and you get to send. And if it's a little bit, okay, it's a little bit. If it's a whole even lot, it's a whole even lot. And you but the cool thing is is that you get to choose. And you can send us, send us fiat currency through, through PayPal. And if you go to, 2 grumpybets.com, you'll see a tab at the top called value for value. You can click that and be able to go to PayPal and set up a a onetime payment or a recurring payment. They both work just the same, and we would you can leave a message, and we would be receiving that message. We would say thank you very much for that message and for the for the donation.
We are or if you say you're you're a little bit strapped because, you know, this wonderful economy of ours, you wanna be able to help some other way. You want you thank you're grateful for what we do and the the laughs that we bring and the information that we bring forth and all that. And you're like, hey. How can I help out? Maybe you're good at, at doing, doing graphic design so you can start making, make cover art for the, for the chapters. You make chapter art or cover art for the, for the episode. Or maybe you're you would like to go through and set up the the chapters, and you wanna set the break here all the show up for the different chapters and put the, links and stuff that we have for them in.
You could do that too. Just time, talent, and treasure. That's what value for value is. You could donate time, you can donate donate your talent, or you can donate your treasure. And if you have any comments, questions, or wanna know how you can help out, you can send an email over to me. That's circle cast at relaxed mail or not relaxed mail. That's my brian@relaxmail is my my relaxed mail address. But, circle [email protected], and you can, ask whatever questions you like, or you can ask, the dude a question if you want, or you can get a hold of Rich, and that's rchelson. That's [email protected]. And and ask questions there. We both would love to be able to talk with you and answer any questions. And if you have a question that you wanted answered on the show, just let us know. We would love to answer it. We'll we'll tell you what we think. We we would have no problem, dispatch dispensing advice.
May not be good advice, but it's gonna be advice nonetheless. And so we, we have a good time doing that because the show is just guys being guys with each other. We are just being just being 3 friends who've come together just to talk. So we're kind of the 3 heads, 1 brain type of thing. And, and thankfully, dude's got most of the brain because and that's because he keeps his mouth shut most of the time. So he's actually, you know, keeping himself safe from from most, most lawsuits. So while me and Rich were, you know, we're we're stepping out in land mines left, right, and center. So so but we are we're grateful for the time that you've taken. And if you anything about this episode, caused you to laugh, cry, think, groan, whatever it is you wanted to do, go ahead and share it out. Share it on on Facebook. Take a screenshot of the cover art. Post it up on on the Instagram. It do it up, mask on, or or, tribal, or, oh, shit.

What was it called?
[02:19:24] Duuude-Ron :
It's a yellow
[02:19:26] Bryan Goodwin:
lemon 8. Lemon, l e m o n, 8. It almost sounds a little sketchy. I don't know what it what that, social media site's about, but I think Yeah. That that sounds sketchy. Because all they need to do is put an e in front of it, and all of a sudden, we're all dead. So so but, yeah, so, Rich, what do you got to say for the, for the for the guys as we close out things out? You know, really,
[02:19:56] Rich Chelson:
again, thank you to everyone that listens and still downloads and that keeps coming back to listen to us rant and rave and, you know, whatever about anything and everything because, you know, like like Brian said, me and Brian step on landmines quite a bit. We're we we just jump both feet in because, hey, we're men. We're mouthy. Yeah. Very mouthy. So, but yeah, no. Tell a friend and, you know, reach out to us, [email protected]@gmail.com. And, leave us a question, comment, whatever. And, we'll, read it on the air. And like, like Brian said, will, will it give you advice?
Don't know if it's going to be right or not, but we're going to give you advice. You know what? We are highly opinionated folks for sure. Yes. We are. You know, that's, that's the second truest statement that's been said tonight. Yeah. We are highly opinionated. So, but yeah, just, just stare this out, tell your friends and, you know, laugh at us, laugh with us, you know,
[02:21:17] Bryan Goodwin:

[02:21:44] Duuude-Ron :

So, you know, just a lot of listening factors and points that we make may or may not be true. You know? Again, it is just our opinion. And if you enjoy it, you know, again, you're more than welcome to, donate to the cause. Why? Because we need it. Right. So I just thought I'd add that little commentary. So no.

You get a bacon, bacon cheese, hamburger with fries and a drink? You're dropping a 20. Hey, man. Hello, and welcome to 2 grumpy vets. And, dude, this is a show that each week allows for 3 friends to get together and live life intentionally. We do this by throwing a little social commentary with our own weird sense of humor and our thoughts together to show folks that living having weekly conversations is a good way to help each other out, help men become better men. And so now on with the show with Brian, Rich, and the dude.
[00:00:41] Duuude-Ron :
Where you at, Rich?
[00:00:42] Rich Chelson:
I'm in Columbia, Tennessee, just south of Nashville.
[00:00:46] Duuude-Ron :
For what?
[00:00:47] Rich Chelson:
I'm going to Indiana. Remember? No. I know that you were talking about it. I didn't know what dates you had committed to it. I said it last night. I said, I'm leaving. That's why that's why I asked well, I don't I don't know if he was on when I asked Brian, but I had asked Brian to edit the podcast this week because I'm, I'm, going to see Breezy and MJ and Mia.
[00:01:14] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, well, that must have been after I dropped off, and I could not
[00:01:18] Bryan Goodwin:
I couldn't get back to have. Yeah. That's right.
[00:01:22] Duuude-Ron :
And the Zoom wouldn't wouldn't let me back in.
[00:01:28] Rich Chelson:
But yeah. No. We'd saw you dropped off and figured it was your phone.
[00:01:33] Bryan Goodwin:
Besides, we would get we got into a rousing discussion about, about video games.
[00:01:39] Duuude-Ron :
So you Oh, yeah. Glad I went. Oh, glad glad it dropped and I couldn't get back in because, yeah, I would've. No. Not been enjoyable for anyway. My night wasn't enjoyable anyway, so he really gives a shit. But, anyway, we regress and anyway, go on.
[00:02:04] Bryan Goodwin:
So y'all got any topics y'all wanted to y'all kinda wanna talk about?
[00:02:08] Rich Chelson:
Damn. Yeah. But I'm gonna have to know on
[00:02:12] Bryan Goodwin:
now on it again. Alright. Well, I knew we're gonna we're gonna delve into the as the stomach turns. So
[00:02:20] Rich Chelson:
Right. Now there was, there's a few things I was thinking about on the drive up that that has me a little perturbed, and, I was I was saying about them real good. And then all of a sudden right now, I can't fucking remember them. And it's like, what the hell? You know? Because I mean, I mean, they weren't bad topics. It was, oh, oh, oh, oh, here it is. Here it is. Okay. Thank god I'm not a freaking truck driver anymore. Dude What do you Dude, the prices and the fucking truck stops.
[00:02:54] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, hell yeah. Oh, god. Yeah. God. Dang, dude.
[00:02:59] Rich Chelson:
I mean, I I stopped at Lowe's to get fuel. Fuel was alright. Well, I went in and, use the restroom and come out, and I, you know, figured I'd get a snack. You know? Minimum. Minimum. $5 for for for a small little thing, you know, whatever. Oh, yeah. $10 for for, like, a little bag of of, raisins and nuts and shit like that. And I'm like, god. Dang.
[00:03:26] Bryan Goodwin:
No place for truck stops, truckers to stop. So yeah. No. Hell, man. The my favorite little place to stop there in Bowie, Texas, over at the, over at the Armadillo Grill. Man, I I well and it's not even at the in the Armadillo Grill, which is the restaurant that's kinda in the back part of the, of the of the of the truck stop. They've got just a little griddle or grills area up front. You can order a hamburger or one and stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah. You get a bacon, bacon cheese, hamburger with fries and a drink, you're dropping a 20.
Yeah. Duh. You're dropping a fucking gram for 1 fucking meal.
[00:04:08] Rich Chelson:
You know? And and well, you see, like like like the Luvs sells a hot dogs,
[00:04:14] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. The,
[00:04:15] Bryan Goodwin:
see a tornadoes and stuff. Yeah. And those are at least still $4.
[00:04:20] Rich Chelson:
Oh, dude. I remember when they were 2 for 2.22. Yeah. And now they're 2 for 5.
[00:04:28] Bryan Goodwin:
Now they're 2 for last I saw, they were 2 for 4 still. Dude, down in Alabama,
[00:04:33] Rich Chelson:
I stopped at Luvs. It said they're 2 for 5. Oh, you know? Or whatever. Either way, it's I mean, it it was out fucking outrageous. Oh, yeah. You know, it's like it's like what there and so so instead of getting something over there and and, like the Luvs has the burritos and stuff that are only about 3 inches long, you know, for for for $5, you know, fuck, dude. I walked over to Arby's right there on the other side, spent $13
[00:05:04] Bryan Goodwin:
and had a meal that lasted me all fucking day. I was gonna say spent $13 and got curly fries and a Coke.
[00:05:11] Rich Chelson:
Yes, sir. And a sandwich
[00:05:14] Bryan Goodwin:
and a sandwich. What type of sandwich you get? Had to have been something off that die off that dollar meal because we No.
[00:05:24] Rich Chelson:
No. No. It was it was, it was, double roast beef. Yeah. Double roast beef sandwich, large curly fry, and a large unsweet tea was, like, $13.32, something like that. It was cheaper than a goddamn Luvs. I'll tell you that. Yeah. No. No. I'll give you that. Oh, something else I noticed I didn't know about.
[00:05:48] Bryan Goodwin:
Did you know Arby's is selling hamburgers now too? Yeah. Yeah. We have an Arby's over in Oak City. So yeah. Since when?
[00:05:56] Rich Chelson:
Oh, about 6 months now. That's good. Yeah. That's about that. I walked in I walked in. I I was I was freaking I was freaking trying to look at the menu.
[00:06:06] Bryan Goodwin:
And they are pushing them hamburgers hard. They're like
[00:06:10] Rich Chelson:
well, yeah. Well, think about it, though. No one's buying the roast beef anymore.
[00:06:14] Bryan Goodwin:
Why not? I I still love the roast beef. Oh, I do too. I do too. But
[00:06:18] Rich Chelson:
but you see, it it it doesn't go with the McDonald's and the Burger King and shit like this.
[00:06:25] Duuude-Ron :
Okay? The whole fucking that's the whole premise
[00:06:29] Bryan Goodwin:
and the point. Exactly. But I again, I and I get what you're saying on that. Yeah. But yeah. No. That's a that's the that's the if they would just if actually, if they needed all the, the the companies would just fall back onto back to the basics, they would make their lot world so much easier.
[00:06:52] Duuude-Ron :
They wouldn't know what the hell basics are anymore.
[00:06:57] Rich Chelson:
Dude, that is that is the the most honest statement I've heard in a while. I mean, I mean, dude's right. Yeah. Seriously. I mean, because they're freaking changing shit up so much. Man, I tell you, I, yeah, I saw that and I, I was just like, oh my God. What the hell is this world coming to? You see, this is why I don't, I don't do my I'm glad I don't do much of this because I mean, think about it. Okay. A truck driver out there running 7 days a week, you know, out there for 2, 3 weeks at a time. Gets gone for 2 days, every 2 weeks or 3 weeks. Right?
And, and if he's trying to eat on the road, he's gonna spend $20 a meal. So that adds up to $60 a day. Times 7, that's $420 a week. Now if he's only making 7, 8, maybe $900, that's half his fucking paycheck. Yeah. Half his paycheck just in food, and that's eaten cheaply. You know? And it's like, it man,
[00:08:05] Bryan Goodwin:
I was why I carry these with me. Cups cup of noodles.
[00:08:10] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Oh, no. No. Those I mean, those are yeah. You know, I did that when I was Those are still those are,
[00:08:16] Bryan Goodwin:
a tray of those is $12 for $13
[00:08:18] Rich Chelson:
now. I know, man. But but you say, I was bitching when, buffets went from, 4.99, a buffet to 999.
[00:08:28] Bryan Goodwin:
God. Oh, hell. Now they're now they're 13 to $15 a, a plate. Right. They're not a plate, a a person. Right. Easily.
[00:08:36] Duuude-Ron :
Easily.
[00:08:38] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep. And most of the food restaurants go to our food restaurants. Our our our Chinese food restaurant is because no. There was there was a a stretch there where we sat down. It was $12. It's like, alright. Uh-huh. Sat down to, like, 2 or 3, 4 weeks later, and it was 13. I was like, oh, that's not good. Sat down a couple more weeks after that, and it was 14. We're like, oh, okay. Yeah. We need to stop this and got 15, and we're like, alright. Well, this is a special occasion now. Only now. So
[00:09:09] Rich Chelson:
Well well, the one in, Pascagoula, they're 1369, and then you have your drink. And then with tax and everything, it's like 1710. Yep. It does it doesn't change. Yep. So it's like it's so but but you see for, for that Chinese food buffet, you can get crawfish.
[00:09:32] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh.
[00:09:33] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. And crawfish is normally on on the buffet every day. You can get shrimp, you can get crab, you can get Nothing better than Cajun Chinese food. Right? But but and and, you know, you can get all the other stuff. So I don't mind paying the $17. Right. You know? Well, I mean I mean, shit, the drink's 2.99, which no drink should be that much, but it is.
[00:10:04] Duuude-Ron :
You know how much the average cost to produce 1 large beverage drink? What? 75¢? 75 to 78¢. Yes. Oh, so large drink. Yeah. Wow. And they're charging $3. Yeah. Oh, I know. I know. Hell, even if they charge a double 50 or a dollar 50, they're doubling their money. But, no, they can't. It's greed. Everybody is greed.
[00:10:35] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, to I I would agree slightly to that, but also a lot a lot of this the increase isn't so much greed as it is just Yeah. Because of the inflation. Because now your dollar does not go nearly as far as as it used to even
[00:10:52] Duuude-Ron :
3 years ago. True. You're right. You're you're right. Absolutely correct. The cost of living for everybody has gone up. The cost of fertilizer has quadrupled in the last 3 years. Uh-huh.
[00:11:07] Bryan Goodwin:
So Well, that's because they wanna they're trying to get rid of fertilizer because the it puts too many nitrates in the, in the soil. Oh, yeah. Of course. In the water. In the water.
[00:11:17] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, you know, God forbid. But, anyway, you know, every every aspect of farming has almost quadrupled in the last 4, 5 years. Mhmm. So that quadruples, then everything is a domino effect. And because of policy of it's fucking everybody has drove the fucking prices up. And, yes, the consumer is the end individual that, you know, is gonna pay for it. However, the farmers have to pay for a raise of food in the grocery store that they're freaking providing. Yep. Absolutely.
[00:12:04] Rich Chelson:
Nobody's immune from it. Yeah. So, you know Farmers are paying twice and actually making less
[00:12:11] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. From their crops. Exactly. So, you know, where the where the where the fuck is the bullshit or when is the bullshit gonna fucking stop? Will we go through another fucking depression?
[00:12:26] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Actually, that'll be the when a lot of people snap their heads out of their ass. Yeah. Yeah. Well, so We and honestly Sadly, I've been beating the depression
[00:12:37] Rich Chelson:
for a couple of decades now. Okay. Yeah. That's fine. But, honestly, is it gonna happen?
[00:12:44] Bryan Goodwin:
The way they keep the way the government keeps propping shit up, it will eventually happen. And when it does, it's gonna be bad bad. I mean Okay. Stupid bad because
[00:12:55] Rich Chelson:
But but okay. Is what? Next 5, 10, 15, 20 years? Don't know. It depends on how, it depends on
[00:13:02] Bryan Goodwin:
depends on how long it takes before the laws of a co economics overtake what what bullshit lies they're trying.
[00:13:12] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. See, that's you see, that's the thing. I think I think I think there's, I see it too many 1 percenters that, they don't want it to happen really because that'll get into their their bottom line.
[00:13:29] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, you know, I I get the I get why you're worried about that, but, you know, those dreaded about it. Those dreaded, horrible one percenters, though. The interesting thing about 1 percentage is if they lose their money and they're the sale self made 1 percenters, they know how to remake their money back. And do you know what level a 1 percenter is? Do you know where the one that that infamous 1% actually starts at?
[00:13:55] Rich Chelson:
I've never gotten that in-depth with it.
[00:13:58] Bryan Goodwin:
It's around $750,000. Maybe 5th 500,000.
[00:14:02] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Yep. What what no. It's a lot it should be a lot higher than that. You would think so. No. Yeah. The way the way the news
[00:14:12] Bryan Goodwin:
and and every and the media loves to talk about it, you would think, oh, no. It's only the $1,000,000,000 people. No. No. It's and it's actually higher. They're for a while. Back back when, Occupy Wall Street was happening, the they were bitching about that infamous 1%. That 1% started at about a $150,000.
[00:14:34] Rich Chelson:
It's Seriously? 50? Seriously.
[00:14:38] Bryan Goodwin:
And it's gone and now it's gone up, which should actually be something to celebrate because that means we've had more millionaires and billionaires who have created their own wealth. Hey, Brian. Brian?
[00:14:53] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah, you're right. The top 1%, nationally requires an annual income of at least $787,712 to be among the top 1%, a 20% increase from last year. Yeah. So, yeah, it's, I mean, it's yeah, straight up. And that's well, that that was from, CBS news, but they got it from me, IRS.
[00:15:24] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. But again, that's, you know, that's everybody's raw running around saying the rich may need to pay their fair share. Well, the funny thing is is that the rich they're referring to is people like us, is middle class. Because a lot of the lot of the little I I I wanna refer to my generation x, terminology, the yuppies. But, but they're not the yuppies anymore. The yuppies liked the wealth, and they wanted to show off the wealth. And that's what their yuppie the yuppiness was. Right. But now it's the well, it's flat out. This is just the damn communist who stand around going, it's not fair.
All these people got got rich off the backs of the work No, asshole. The working man knew how to set set aside money and make and make it. Right. Set aside's a little bit because I could easily look at that and go, dude, I should be the one whining about not having enough money because I live still paycheck to paycheck damn it. Right. I have I've gotten around now where I've I've kinda whittled stuff down to where I at least have about a $150 afterwards. But every Friday, I'm I'm taking I'll just and when I say a little bit, I mean, like, $10 out. And I put it, I take, 10 actually, a total of $20 out, and I send it off into what I call my deep freeze accounts.
[00:16:52] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. And so I've got
[00:16:53] Bryan Goodwin:
Because you what? Literally why? Because you literally go put the money in the deep freeze to hide it? No. I literally put it into stuff that it takes at least 13 days for me to be able to withdraw.
[00:17:04] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[00:17:06] Bryan Goodwin:
So it's because now, in all reality, frozen the the literal frozen assets, you know, that doesn't work. If you if you think you're going going to get around the problem, freezing the credit card, no. It's that's not that's not the case.
[00:17:22] Duuude-Ron :
But Oh, I thought it was I thought it was the, reference of cold, hard cash.
[00:17:26] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, I mean, a lot of people used to. I mean, hell. And there I think if we were to ever go back into another and when we well, if when we do, because we're going to go back into a depression sometime. Well, see, it may even be within this next next year because, I mean, hell, the Democrats are wanting to crash the system so that we have to go to the the the the digital dollar.
[00:17:50] Rich Chelson:
They've been wanting to crash the system for the last 30 freaking years, dude. Well, yeah. I mean, they seriously, they have been the Democrats have been trying to crash our our freaking economy for the last 30 plus years. Okay. They're gonna keep doing it. And or or keep trying to keep trying to do it for the next 30 fucking years. Well, they're trying. They've been trying, but they wanna only crash
[00:18:18] Bryan Goodwin:
certain aspects of the economy. Like, in 2008, when the bank started falling, when Lehman Brothers fell, they oh, no. We can't we can't let that happen. And, yeah, George w was part of the problem too. George w is, believe it or not, also a progressive. He's just a progressive Republican. Right. It's kinda like conservatives. You know, we've talked last week how they there actually used to be this thing called a conservative democrat and a liberal republican. Well, they've got progressive republicans, and they've always had those because, I mean, that's what, that's what what, I keep on calling him Teddy Workspin.
Theodore Roosevelt. He was actually a a progressive on the Republican side. Right.
[00:19:08] Rich Chelson:
But see but but okay. Look. Check this out. 30 years ago, they were saying the exact same fucking shit they're saying now. Mhmm. The exact same the the wording is even almost the same. Okay? Oh, yeah. And and if if they haven't gotten it done in 30 years, I mean and and I agree it is getting closer because they've got more more brainwashed people to, swallow their their shit. Yep. But still, the fact remains is is I mean, all anyone's doing about it is bitching about it. There no one's doing anything because you cannot get 2 American people
[00:19:54] Bryan Goodwin:
on the same fucking page at the same fucking time. Well, no. That's and that's that's alright. Hold on. That's that's all social media issue right there.
[00:20:03] Rich Chelson:
Well, you know, until we get an ass load of people on the same fucking page with the same fucking agenda, then we can get shit changed like we need to in order to make this a better country and back to where it was. Right. I mean, again
[00:20:23] Bryan Goodwin:
man can't fucking do it. No. No. You're right. It takes it takes everybody in fucking America. Right. But, but again, that is that that's one of the because our economic system is seasonal. It it's always been seasonal, and you have you have to have those cold, hard winters of depression to be able to have the beautiful the beautiful summers, of of abundance. Right. And that's where that that's one reason why they're they're shooting themselves on foot, trying to avoid the pain of going through a, through a depression. We had a depression in the twenties, and it didn't last hardly at all. You don't hear about that depression because they did because the government jumped in, took action, and did what they needed to do. They cut spending, like, severely cut spending.
[00:21:20] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:21:21] Bryan Goodwin:
Raised up the, the interest rates to suck some of the extra money back in. And when they got out right got out of it, boom, they kicked right off and you had the roaring twenties.
[00:21:33] Rich Chelson:
Right. Yes. But that is not gonna happen again. I mean Not not for not for a while.
[00:21:39] Bryan Goodwin:
Not not in the same respect as it did happen. No. It's not because Okay. We've got It won't. Too many too many globalists with their fingers in the pie. Thank you.
[00:21:51] Rich Chelson:
And so you and and you you you see, that's the thing. This you see, everyone's talking about the economy and shit like this. Guess what? You're still getting paid. You're still going to grocery store and eating. Right? You're not eating steak. No. But you're still eating. Correct? Yes. So why is everybody bitching? Okay. Prices are outrageous. You know what? Re instead of bitching about it, instead of going to social media, write your fucking congressman or senator.
[00:22:23] Bryan Goodwin:
Actually, better thing to well, if you're able to, then probably one of the better things to do is to stop buying groceries. Well, yeah. You can do that. You can switch. But at the same time, there's some places you're not allowed to actually go off and not buy groceries. What? Because you're not allowed to grow a grow a carton.
[00:22:44] Rich Chelson:
Well, you know what? That's where you break the law. Well, first, you move. Yeah. Get the fuck out of there. Or 2, break the law and grow a garden in your fucking house.
[00:22:54] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, grow even grow it in a backyard. Or wait. Or wait. No. No. Disrespectful.
[00:22:59] Rich Chelson:
No. Get get get 15, 20, 50, a 100 people in that town that all on the same fucking page again. Here we go. Oh my god. You know? Same thing again and good and go to the town hall, the state, the county government, wherever you gotta go and repeal that freaking law. The American people have so much fucking power and yet they want someone else to tell them when to wipe their fucking ass.
[00:23:30] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, they the and all the to a point that is true, but also at the same time, so many people have been asleep that the they haven't paid attention to what the rule what rules have actually changed around. Well, no. You're right. You're right. And that's you see. And that's, again, that's the public that's the public's responsibility, and they've slept through that. And I mean and and I'm part of of that same problem because I Well, I there too. Because that was I mean, we should have when when Soviet Union fell like it did, we should have been on the lookout for the scurrying rats.
For the communists that were on the loose, looking for a new place to hold up so they could they could keep their their power.
[00:24:20] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:24:22] Bryan Goodwin:
And we didn't do that. We're like, hey. We defeated the Russians. Alright. There we go. We blah. All things good. And we had the nineties. We had 2 thousands. And then about 2,010 is Wednesday we everybody starts going, wait a minute. Something's why are there so many so many old phrases re you know, coming back to, coming back to haunt us? Why are they talking about the plight of the, of the working man? Why are they talking about, you know, black liberation theology? Why are they coming up with with all these different types of theories, gender study theories, and and and critical race theories, and critical gender theories? I mean, and all these other critical these critical and whatever theory, those were all tools that were created by the Soviets back in the back in the day. When they were trying to overturn a country, they would start instilling all this stuff so they would overwhelm the system. They were doing Cloward Pivot.
[00:25:29] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:25:31] Bryan Goodwin:
And they were slowly getting things turned around. And, I mean, they're we're starting to see a lot of what was being used on us for the different color revolutions that went on throughout the throughout the world. And they're trying to use them against us. So because if they can overwhelm the system with critical race theory, critical, you know, critical gender theory. So we've got our they've got everybody yapper and talking about, you know, this is gender. Oh, they're destroying the kid. They're they're destroying our kids. They're doing this. They're doing that. Oh, I'm doing over here, and they're doing doing each other, and they're all and everything's being thrown up. And you got, you know, mass chaos in the streets. You've got you've got, you know, people just running into stores, wiping it out, and running back, and the government's going, well, they didn't each person didn't take more than $1,000, so that's okay.
And then they stand around and bitch because, you know, all of a sudden, the stores are closed. So what are they trying to do? They try to go off and make laws that you can't actually close the grocery store unless you got somebody else who will buy it.
[00:26:33] Rich Chelson:
Well, you're saying that that that's actually illegal in all sense of the words because you cannot force anybody to do anything against their will. That's the definition of fucking slavery. Hello. But again, that is slavery.
[00:26:48] Bryan Goodwin:
That's what, that's what communism is.
[00:26:52] Rich Chelson:
Oh, I know. Oh, dude. I know you. You don't gotta tell me preach to the choir, brother. I I know that. I will, brother. But nobody know. See, that's the thing. Everyone, everyone's saying, oh, we need to pay reparations and all like this for the slaves. But like here's go, guess what? You you're being led to the led by the nose and you're enslaved yourself and you don't even freaking know it. Right. Yeah. When when's the last time? Well,
[00:27:26] Duuude-Ron :
it and this is almost freaking irrelevant. When is the last time anybody that is currently alive in the United States that has owned slaves and or have been a slave in the in the sense of the 1800?
[00:27:47] Bryan Goodwin:
In all reality, I might be the closest direct relation to that.
[00:27:52] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Relation.
[00:27:54] Bryan Goodwin:
Did you own anybody? No. No. I didn't. But at Saint John what and the reason why I'm saying that is because my I have a grand a great I don't know how many greats. Anyhow, he he was several greats, grandfather named captain John Potts. He was captain of the Confederate Army. Alright? Doesn't mean he owned slaves, but he was captain of the confederate army. His wife is the cousin to Jefferson Davis, the president of the confederacy.
[00:28:28] Duuude-Ron :
Okay.
[00:28:28] Bryan Goodwin:
So if there's anybody that might be close to being, you know, in a relation wise, close to somebody who would have slaves, probably me. But at the same time, I'm I've never owned I've never owned a slave. So
[00:28:43] Duuude-Ron :
Exactly. Going back to my original statement. When's the last time anybody knows when a that's alive right now that has owned a slave or been a slave in the United States? That we're not talking about relate we're not talking about Well well well, but that's okay. Great grandfather. Now well, here's here's another thing to throw to just to just to kinda tweak your nose. I don't know. In high school, did y'all do slave auctions?
[00:29:11] Bryan Goodwin:
No. Y'all didn't do slave auctions? No. No. Yeah. Well, the seniors were slay were were auctioned off. And, basically, you know, whoever would do it, and you'd spend, like, a a weekend or or a couple weekends Be essentially, just be we it would joke around that it was the slave, but they were it was just help auction is why they wanted it way they wanted it. But us us as high schoolers, we were like, oh, we're gonna be a bunch of slave auctions going on today. So you know? And they would they would they would have an auctioneer come in, and they would, hey. Now we got ourselves better better better better better we got alright. We got 10 notes and everybody got 10 then 1. We got 20. 20. Ain't anybody got 20. 20? That was And that was a fundraiser.
And yeah. It was a fundraiser is what it was. It's for for the senior, for the senior trip. But Exactly. Now every one of those were volunteers. Yeah. We were volunteer slaves, which Right. How exactly.
[00:30:04] Duuude-Ron :
So going back to slavery, were any of them volunteers? No. They were all forced. Forced labor. Right? Yep. So that was a choice that you made to do that. Okay. Granted, I don't care how what they call it, and it really doesn't matter. Yes. I've heard about the you know, that aspect in my senior year. No. I didn't because I was not in that that group. So I never participated. It doesn't really matter to me. No. No. It doesn't. But the the fact of the matter is is that, you know, everybody wants restitution of their ancestry of this current generation.
Okay. I'm sorry. I don't know. I don't know if any I have no idea if my family owned slaves. You know, great great great great great I don't have a freaking clue. It never came up into discussion in my family ever. So it's there's nobody here that's been a slave, that has owned a slave, but want but they want restitution for family members at work. Well, you know, I you know what? Sorry. But I did not participate in that, and I'm not gonna participate in it now. Right? Okay. If you want something if you want somethings, go out and get it. Don't let you know? Anyway, Jesus.
Well, so On top of my on top of my fucking horrendous 48 hours, which we ain't gonna go into tonight, you know, now getting wound up about this.
[00:32:03] Bryan Goodwin:
Fuck. Fuck. Yay. We got dudes I hope the gears finally.
[00:32:09] Duuude-Ron :
Right. Yeah. I yourself, I don't fucking wake up today. Rich. I I I just think it is utterly fucking it's stupid.
[00:32:22] Rich Chelson:
Well, I agree. I agree a 100%, sir. Yeah. No. No. It is. And and see, that's where that's where we as as American people just need to stay stand up and say no.
[00:32:35] Duuude-Ron :
We have Okay. But how many how many elected officials are gonna do what their people ask them to do? It doesn't matter if it's Democrat, Republican.
[00:32:48] Rich Chelson:
Okay. Independent,
[00:32:50] Duuude-Ron :
Whig party. It doesn't matter. Okay, dude. 90 plus percent of them are gonna do whatever the hell they wanna do to line their pockets.
[00:33:01] Rich Chelson:
Hold on. Hold on. You get 100,000,000 people because there's 380,000,000 in the US alone. Get 1, get 1 third of them, get 1 third of the people in the United States of America to stand up with one voice. And I guarantee goddamn to you right now, everybody up in Washington would listen.
[00:33:24] Bryan Goodwin:
And actually and all actuality, you don't even know that many. Now that would definitely be a huge voice. Oh, yeah. No. I mean, it would be a bell. But in all reality, you need maybe 5% of population all talking in one voice, and you will make a change. Yeah. I mean, come on. You've got you've got less than Nobody. 1% of the population is actually gay. Right. Even fewer actually have gender dysphoria. And yet we've got all this craziness going on. It's not because they've got gender dysphoria. It's because they you know, they're it's the end it's the end thing to do.
It's the it's the big fad.
[00:34:09] Rich Chelson:
Well, that's all it is, really. It's a fad.
[00:34:12] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. But, again, you've gotten you've got you were affected culture that strongly. All you have to do is get maybe 5% of the population to talk in one voice, and you snap people's heads around.
[00:34:30] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:34:32] Bryan Goodwin:
If you get 33% of the of the of the country
[00:34:36] Rich Chelson:
Oh, shit. No one's ignoring you. No. Check this out. I just looked it up. In the United States in 2022, a Gallup poll concluded that 7.1% of adult American adult Americans identified as LGBT QIA alphabet people, whatever. Right. But yeah, 7.7.1 percent of P of adult people in the United States.
[00:35:06] Bryan Goodwin:
So how many of those would end up disappearing the moment that bad falls off?
[00:35:11] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. They'll, yeah, they'll shut up. But, but see, that's the thing. Okay. We hear, we see commercials. We hear it on the radio ads. We see it on the internet ads, LGBTQIA or whatever, plus minus XYZ everywhere. 7.1% of the American people are gay and, and, and well, right. But, but still for, for easy math and for the sake of argument, 7.1 1 percent and look at the voice they have, look at what they're doing. Look at the look at what they're causing. Right. Now take that same 7.1% and point it to Washington DC over the ship. We need that everyone needs to have lower prices to live better pay, better working conditions, shit like this.
What can we get done? Think about it. Think about it. It is possible. It's doable, but no one wants to rock the boat.
[00:36:25] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, it's not so much that they wanna rock the boat or not. They there's a lot of people who don't think. Sorry. A lot of them don't think that they're gonna make a difference. Oh, I know. That I The yeah. I've wasted about it before, and they said they would change, and then they don't. They you've heard forever. I mean, one of the biggest, one most common, jokes out there is that, the 4 common types of of liars. You know, your par your parents said you could never make it as a law as a liar holder.
[00:37:01] Rich Chelson:
On. Damn. Brian had a frog in his throat. Yeah. I'm I'm dying here.
[00:37:06] Bryan Goodwin:
But, you sure it was a frog? No. No. Actually, it was a it was a Frito chip. So Oh, okay.
[00:37:13] Duuude-Ron :
I don't know. I don't I I have my I don't watch you guys. I I have my phone up on my shoulder, so I can hear y'all. So it's not like I can see you. So But I've been calling the computer.
[00:37:27] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, I I don't have a computer with me. I'm just using the phone. But I'm But it
[00:37:34] Rich Chelson:
I've got my laptop. So I I have a laptop.
[00:37:37] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I don't I don't have
[00:37:40] Rich Chelson:
Hey. Laptop. Hey. When I'm traveling, and I know I have to podcast,
[00:37:45] Duuude-Ron :
I I I bring I bring my laptop. You know? Right. Other than I know. You you have your laptop. You have your tablet. You have your phone.
[00:37:54] Rich Chelson:
No. I left the tablet at home, actually. I didn't bring the tablet.
[00:37:58] Bryan Goodwin:
Wow. You're gonna be able to fly as a fly as a drone as well now.
[00:38:02] Rich Chelson:
Oh, shit.
[00:38:04] Bryan Goodwin:
Why Yep. The phone. You you forgot your drone, didn't you? Yeah. I
[00:38:08] Rich Chelson:
did. Uh-oh. I was excited.
[00:38:12] Bryan Goodwin:
I got to see the kids. Yeah. I mean, the first time Damn. I forgot to I forgot to pack.
[00:38:19] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. No, I brought,
[00:38:22] Rich Chelson:
I brought clothes and everything, but now I figure, I figure is kids going to be tackling on me for the next couple of days anyways. So, oh yeah.
[00:38:33] Bryan Goodwin:
Make sure that make sure that back hurts
[00:38:36] Duuude-Ron :
really, really well for you. Oh, yeah. Yeah. No problem. Would have been an excellent thing up on your dash for your g or for your, navigation, wouldn't it?
[00:38:45] Rich Chelson:
The what?
[00:38:46] Duuude-Ron :
The tablet for navigation?
[00:38:49] Rich Chelson:
Oh, I just use my phone. Yeah. I mean, I don't I don't I don't have a holder for my tablet yet in my g. Oh, so
[00:38:57] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. I've been done you don't have one of those that's because you don't have one of those high speed bars like I have on mine. Right. I do not have one of them high speed bars yet. You need to get one of those high speed bars. Well, you know, I I'm I'm
[00:39:13] Rich Chelson:
I'm working on it, man. I'm I'm I know. I'm deciding on my roof right now. I know. I know. It's like, fuck.
[00:39:22] Duuude-Ron :
So You're right. I got you know? Again, the last right? Or the whole important of the 2 evil.
[00:39:32] Rich Chelson:
Say that again. You broke up a little bit. Right.
[00:39:36] Duuude-Ron :
The importance of the 2 evils. A little bar for my Jeep, a roof of my investment of the house.
[00:39:43] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right.
[00:39:44] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. That's Not real not really, you know, there's no thought in that one.
[00:39:50] Rich Chelson:
Right. So but but say the bar for the Jeep is a whole lot cheaper than a roof for my house. I understand.
[00:40:00] Bryan Goodwin:
At least just slightly.
[00:40:03] Duuude-Ron :
So true.
[00:40:05] Rich Chelson:
But yeah. I know. Yeah. I would I would I would hate for my roof to to eventually totally just cave in and do all sorts of damage.
[00:40:16] Duuude-Ron :
It must. Yeah.
[00:40:17] Rich Chelson:
I mean, yes. I got insurance, but it's not enough.
[00:40:21] Duuude-Ron :
And it never end it will never end. It never will be. No.
[00:40:26] Rich Chelson:
Right. No. I know. It just, I don't know. One day, I will get one now. I'll get a fancy little bar for my Jeep.
[00:40:38] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. But Hell, for that matter, you could freaking probably build one out of a fucking piece of a pipe that you buy in the fucking, the LOs
[00:40:50] Rich Chelson:
Well, that is true. For that for that matter. Yeah. I mean, yeah, I could just use a little 1 inch or or a 3 quarter inch, conduit piece.
[00:41:02] Duuude-Ron :
So Yep.
[00:41:04] Rich Chelson:
And then and then get a holder and mount it to it.
[00:41:09] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. I I figured y'all were talking about an alcohol bar. I was, like, going, I I don't know how you get a conduit to to to hold to hold your shots, but okay. I I was kinda curious on this one. Man, you are way the hell out there. Hey. You're gonna have if you're gonna have a a nice Jeep, you gotta have a rolling bar with it. You know? That whole back seat's not being used for anything.
[00:41:33] Rich Chelson:
I don't have a back seat.
[00:41:35] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, that's even better now. You got some place flat to put one of those giant globes. Got all the glasses, the decanter, and the whiskey, and all that.
[00:41:44] Rich Chelson:
Yes. But, yeah, only if I stay on pavement. I couldn't go I couldn't take it on the trail, man. Yeah. You could. Strap it down. Damn it. Yeah. No one made a way, I will. Shit. Shit. I'd break the whiskey on the way.
[00:42:01] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, no.
[00:42:03] Duuude-Ron :
And that's the only place where you could have it because if you have it on the pavement, yeah, that, yeah, that would probably not go over well.
[00:42:10] Rich Chelson:
Right. Yeah. Right. Right. See, damned if I do and damned if I don't on that one.
[00:42:16] Duuude-Ron :
Yep. Right by.
[00:42:18] Rich Chelson:
No. No. No. I had to pull my back seat out because my latches won't latch to the tub. I don't know if the latches are broke or if it's the cables. I pulled it apart, tried to figure it out, and I I I haven't been able to,
[00:42:35] Bryan Goodwin:
figure it out yet. You gotta figure it out.
[00:42:38] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. So so I just it's it's like it's like there's no sense in having a back seat in there if if I can't latch the bottom because it's weird because one day, this was earlier this year, I had to top off. You know? Right. Had the back seat sitting up like it was supposed to, and I thought it was latched.
[00:43:01] Bryan Goodwin:
K.
[00:43:02] Rich Chelson:
I get on I ten, and I started boogieing. Next thing you know, my whole back seat went, and just I and and the thing is, I saw it in the rearview mirror. I just reached back and just because I didn't know what it was gonna do. I mean, it was still locked by the front latches. Right. Okay. But I didn't know what was going on. So I sat there and held it. It's like, okay. And I freaking got off on the shoulder, got out and looked and yes. Yeah. Sure. Shit. My back latches Weren't latching. Yeah. They're yeah. They weren't latching. So I just rolled it and folded it and it stayed.
[00:43:40] Bryan Goodwin:
But, you know, I'm I'm thinking Well, that's where you that's where the kids come into play. You put you put them in the back seat. That makes it fun. So you turn real hard. You don't watch the what?
[00:43:49] Rich Chelson:
Well, you know, that thought did cross my mind, and, yes, the kids probably would love that.
[00:43:56] Bryan Goodwin:
Britney would probably hate me for the rest of my life. Well, that's Britney Britney's Britney. I mean, come on. Moms kill all the fun. So that's that's her job. So you just make sure you put a put a put a, one of those, one of those kitty, football helmets on their head so that at least they have the impression of protection and Right. Right.
[00:44:15] Duuude-Ron :
Well Go cut some cow nuts. If you wanna if you wanna if you wanna scare them, detach your, oh, what the hell is it called? Jeez. Sway bar. Disconnect your sway bar.
[00:44:29] Bryan Goodwin:
No. That's a good thing. Go over some railroad tracks.
[00:44:33] Duuude-Ron :
And not over railroad tracks around a corner.
[00:44:37] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Yeah. You you you yeah. Freaking disconnect the sway bar and just and just drive down some of these roads,
[00:44:45] Duuude-Ron :
even the paved roads. Oh, yeah. I do.
[00:44:48] Rich Chelson:
Look at it.
[00:44:50] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. You just have to know what you're doing. Well, yeah. But it would be it would be hilarious for somebody not knowing what the hell is going on.
[00:45:00] Bryan Goodwin:
Why are we swaying the wrong way?
[00:45:02] Rich Chelson:
Well, the thing is thing is what's funny is is, Breezy and MJ probably would think it was fun to say, do it again, Naka. Do it again. Do it again. Do it again.
[00:45:15] Duuude-Ron :
You know? I mean, that was When you when you got that front end going so far up in the air Right. Going around the corner, you know what the hell is going on, but nobody else does. Right. Or, yeah, the kids are gonna think it's fun. The other grown ups are gonna be like, what the hell is going on here?
[00:45:36] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. Right. Yeah. No. What the wide, wide world of sports is going on around here? Yeah.
[00:45:43] Duuude-Ron :
You ever seen a Jeep go around a corner that doesn't have the, the sway bar disconnected on the front? Yeah. Oh, it is fucking hilarious.
[00:45:54] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That front end, it springs. I I mean, you get some really good flex. You get some really good flex.
[00:46:03] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, yeah. You do.
[00:46:06] Rich Chelson:
But yeah. No. It just, yeah. Like I said, the kids would love it.
[00:46:12] Duuude-Ron :
You took the back but you put the took the back seat out, and now you just need to, what, put, 2 24 inch subwoofers with a 800 watt amp amplifier in the back. Yeah. I could. Is that what you're gonna do with the face?
[00:46:32] Bryan Goodwin:
Connect a couple of those boat speakers up to the top of your roll cage?
[00:46:35] Rich Chelson:
No. I ain't doing that. That is so gay. Oh, I know. I I mean, that is the that's just gay because believe it or not, I've got a factory set up. Okay? Yeah. And and with my factory setup, I've I've got an, 8 inch sub.
[00:46:57] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. So do I. No. I got a 12 inch.
[00:46:59] Rich Chelson:
Okay. But, yeah. Yours is newer. Right?
[00:47:04] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Mine's an 18. My subwoofer is up underneath. And my subwoofer is why the hell they put it there beyond me. They put it on in the floor of the rear of the Jeep, and my box covers it. Yep. Even though my box covers it, it I can still fucking though.
[00:47:24] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. No. No. Because because believe it or not, when a when a Jeep did this, like, just like in my 2012, Maya 2012 is is in the back tub behind some plastic or was well, it has a plastic housing. And, I mean, it honestly, for a stack system, it thumps, you know, pretty damn good. And, speakers in the soundbar and the tweeters on top and the speakers in the front dash, they all Yeah. They all are are still clear as shit, you know. But I do well, my head unit is, is starting to fade out because it won't it it won't scan a a radio station. It just scans forever.
[00:48:13] Bryan Goodwin:
So it it it's caught the rain just a couple too many times.
[00:48:17] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Yeah. And and
[00:48:19] Rich Chelson:
and the freaking display is starting to fade on one side and everything. I I mean, it's it's it's old. It's been it's, you know, it's been out there for a minute, but the, system I did price with my back seat still installed was, 26100. And that was head unit speakers, install. Yeah. It's yeah. It's
[00:48:47] Bryan Goodwin:
yeah. What'd you do? Go look around and do do some shopping in the old Crutchfield magazine or something?
[00:48:53] Rich Chelson:
No. No. No. No. I got went to a audio shop that was, recommended for down there. Oh. Because, this guy work works on a lot of Jeeps and people bring his Jeep bring Jeeps to him from all over the country. And and, the head unit was gonna run me $500, which is that's about normal. It's, you know, for for a good head unit. The set of speakers as well, I I think for the, say, for the sound bar and for up front, they was gonna run, like, 350 heat. Altogether, all the parts was gonna run me about 13, $1400, and the rest was labor running the because they was gonna run new wire.
[00:49:43] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. But but the monster over the big giant, you know, double lot
[00:49:48] Rich Chelson:
cable through everything. Well, and and and there was an amp I was gonna put in, that, that, you could put change the image on it and stuff like that. So so that's why that's why it was gonna be $26100, you know? And I mean I mean,
[00:50:06] Bryan Goodwin:
I still wanna do it, but, yeah, right now my roof is taking precedence. Yep. Oh, I don't blame you there. But I mean, I don't I I'm You know what? That would do nothing, though. I don't I don't need a big, spancy, speaker system like that. Because I listen to podcasts all the time. I mean, as long as I can get a clear voice ringing through the speakers, stock works just fine for me.
[00:50:31] Rich Chelson:
But say, I want to annoy everybody. Everybody.
[00:50:37] Bryan Goodwin:
I mean, I like to annoy everybody.
[00:50:40] Duuude-Ron :
What? With what? With fifties country?
[00:50:43] Rich Chelson:
No. No. No. No. No. The shit I listen to,
[00:50:55] Duuude-Ron :
God. It's been a it's been a fucking day since I what was that? The squirrel song or Yeah. And then it's been a day since I heard that. Oh, yeah.
[00:51:06] Rich Chelson:
No. That's,
[00:51:07] Duuude-Ron :
yeah. Yeah. No. Those those Crazy frog or what?
[00:51:11] Bryan Goodwin:
No. It wasn't great. That's not Crazy Frog. Well, there I mean, Crazy Frog did several songs.
[00:51:17] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. They he did. I liked some of his songs, like Axle f and Oh, Breezy's favorite song is Axle f, dude.
[00:51:25] Rich Chelson:
I remember What? By by frog? Yeah. Yeah. I remember I remember, God breezy, I think was 2, 2a half. I was, I was, I was, I was babysitting her and we sitting in my room and cause, you know, I had my microphones, I had to make sure I had all this and, and, breezy said something about crazy frog. Yep. And I'm like, what are you, honey? What are you talking about? Crazy frog gunkam, crazy frog. Okay. So, so I did a search for crazy. I had never heard of crazy frog. Okay. And, and, brought it up and I said, which one is it, honey? Because there was a few and she picked it out from the picture from the thumbnail.
She's like that one, I'll come. And, and I played it and it was axle f and oh my God, that girl, she would just sit there and just watch it and just, and just she said, look, I'm come look, You know? And and then and then it would get done. She's like, play it again, uncle. Play it again.
[00:52:29] Duuude-Ron :
And it's like, oh my god. Now I could sit down and listen to crazy frog acts left for a little while. I I do like his version. Same way with his version of popcorn. You remember the song popcorn, right, by Well, yeah. I'm not butter. Yep. Uh-huh. So and then there's another eighties song that Crazy Frog did that I really like, and I can't remember the name of the song off the top of my head. But, hell, you got the computer, and you can research it and probably give me the name there, Rich. So, anyway
[00:53:03] Rich Chelson:
Give me a minute.
[00:53:05] Duuude-Ron :
I'm sure that I got plenty of minutes. That's all I got. It's fucking time. I just I don't fucking need any more goddamn time.
[00:53:16] Rich Chelson:
Change? So is it, Tricky, Beverly Hills? No. That's Axelif. That's it. Let's see. Hang on. Let let me get to a list. See, Tricky would be, what's that? Run DMC or the Beastie Boys?
[00:53:33] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. It's not Tricky. Okay. But, yeah, that's Run DMC.
[00:53:37] Rich Chelson:
Okay. Yeah. It's I was I was gonna say, I know I know that song.
[00:53:41] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Tricky got got real popular there for a bit because, there was a video game for PlayStation called SSX Tricky, and, that was kind of their main song that they played in the opening and stuff. And, essentially, SSX Tricky was well, Stoney Hawk, but skate, for snowboards.
[00:54:04] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:54:05] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, blast of a game. I love that game. I wish they had come out with another SSX trick.
[00:54:10] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Now see, now we're back to freaking video games again. We're try Yeah. We're trying to send this to the Amazon.
[00:54:17] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay? Y'all just got finished with cheap, so let me talk about something that that I actually have a clue about. Hang on. Hang on, dude.
[00:54:26] Rich Chelson:
We are the champions? Nope. Nope. Last Christmas?
[00:54:31] Duuude-Ron :
Nope.
[00:54:34] Rich Chelson:
ChaCha Slide?
[00:54:35] Duuude-Ron :
Nope.
[00:54:37] Rich Chelson:
That's all the ones they're listed, man. Because It was a 80. Well, that's well, I mean I mean I mean, We Are the Champions is
[00:54:47] Bryan Goodwin:
Queen. Yeah.
[00:54:50] Rich Chelson:
Last Christmas is that's that's an older song. That's Wham. Last
[00:54:55] Bryan Goodwin:
Christmas.
[00:54:57] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Oh god. Now he's singing.
[00:55:01] Rich Chelson:
Now there's Okay. No. No. No. No. Hey. Check this out. What? Check this out. I I freaking brought up the, Wikipedia page for Crazy Frog. Right? Okay. It was Crazy Frog was was originally known as the annoying thing. And, the the actual crazy frog is a computer generated animated character.
[00:55:31] Duuude-Ron :
That's correct. Yeah. Okay.
[00:55:34] Rich Chelson:
And he was created in 2003 by actor and playwright, Eric Wernquist. And, say, where was it? I read, Susan, in, in 97, there was a 17 year old Gothenburg student, Daniel Mala, Medal. I don't know. Recorded himself making noises. The noise is produced by a 2 stroke engine, and he put those on a website. And, a, Swedish, television, say a researcher, got him to perform live on the air. And then I guess that's how that's how it all got, going. And, and they started doing crazy, you know, crazy frog stuff. So I just thought I just thought it it was all it was all done over in Europe. I didn't know that. Well, it's kinda like,
[00:56:35] Bryan Goodwin:
oh, what I had I was looking it up because you got, like, some of the the more popular, meme songs that that popped out here recently. Like the, Anton, Anton Dodson, the hide your kids, hide your
[00:56:52] Rich Chelson:
wife, guy. Never heard that one.
[00:56:54] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, well, you gotta look it up for a remix. There there's, great great video or, remix of that. Sweet brown and, ain't nobody got time for that? Okay. Not heard of that one either?
[00:57:13] Rich Chelson:
No. No. Sorry, dude. I can't help you out with that one. No. No.
[00:57:21] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, that one and, yeah, I would since you've got the computer, you'd be able to look it look that up, though. They'll be on YouTube. There's, like I said, it's, Anton Dodson, hide your kids, hide your wife, remix. And then, yeah, then there's, sweet brown. I was trying to think there was another one. There was, like, there was 3 of them that got real popular, just all kinda right along with each other.
[00:57:55] Rich Chelson:
Is this is is, this the dude off Friday?
[00:57:59] Bryan Goodwin:
No. No. He's he's he's not on Friday. He's not on the movie. He was he was he was he grew up in the ghetto, and he was he's in the ghetto, and he's very much obviously gay. And, yeah. The guy who mix who mixed his, oh, what is no. Let's see. I can't think of what the third one is. It I it'll jump into my head for a half second, then it bleed it falls out of my ear. But now my favorite one, though, is the sweet brown. You ain't nobody got time for that. Sweet sweet brown. Sweet brown from Oklahoma City. Yeah. I'd I I, I was going down for a cold pop. I thought somebody's barbecuing.
And I thought, oh, sweet Jesus. It's a far. I ran outside.
[00:58:49] Rich Chelson:
What's the name of the song?
[00:58:51] Bryan Goodwin:
Just just look for sweet, sweet brown remix.
[00:58:58] Duuude-Ron :
So I think, so it's all the first thing to just
[00:59:03] Rich Chelson:
Ain't nobody got time for that. Ain't nobody got time for that.
[00:59:07] Bryan Goodwin:
Ain't nobody got time for that. Ain't nobody got time. Ain't nobody got time. Ain't nobody got time for that.
[00:59:13] Duuude-Ron :
Don't you?
[00:59:15] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah.
[00:59:17] Rich Chelson:
I I've I've got them saved up. I'll watch them. Yeah. Because I'm afraid if I try and watch them now, it might kick zoom out. I don't know what it's gonna do. It might. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe a little too much bandwidth or Right. Because I, well, I mean, I mean, it's showing I've got full, full bars of Wi Fi in this room, and that's great. And things have been moving pretty good, but
[00:59:41] Bryan Goodwin:
I really don't want to test Yeah. You don't want to test it. To get to see how it goes.
[00:59:46] Rich Chelson:
Speeds because they, they, they definitely
[00:59:51] Bryan Goodwin:
don't match my download speeds. No. No. They don't, Seth. No.
[00:59:57] Duuude-Ron :
No. But
[01:00:00] Bryan Goodwin:
so bam. So, jumping over at a different topic. I guess, one thing I was kinda talking about was we had the as the stomach turns, episode happened this, this last, well, it's been happening for the past past 2 weeks. But,
[01:00:17] Rich Chelson:
Right. But but we just started talking about it last week. Right?
[01:00:21] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So so He he was acting he was acting the fool, and then this, this, this Sunday, yeah, I had a, I had a, a little, little bitch session at him. I've got I've yelled at him for a bit, told him he's better stop, stop acting like an idiot because he's fixing to get, get taken to the cleaners. And then Friday, he decided to alright. Well, I'm gonna send off another another little, little text message, over to, over to my daughter and went, basically, it was like, well, I'm not paying anything y'all and and stuff, but I think I'm just gonna go ahead and because what they found what they found out is he and what he did I guess, let's get a little detail here. One of the things that he did is he went ahead and he searched because he it's been about 2 months, and he hadn't seen anything back. And, I mean, it's a it's a legal it's a it's a rational thing to worry wonder about because he hadn't received any type of information back on the, on the on the, on the custody order that, that they put together.
[01:01:34] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[01:01:35] Bryan Goodwin:
And so and he'd kinda been bitching and moaning about that. He's like, well, I don't think y'all y'all really doing so. I think y'all are just taking me for a ride, and y'all are just trying to take advantage of me, and blah blah blah blah blah blah. Dude, dude, you're barely making $18 an hour, which is decent, the size you've ever made. Okay. But you're you're not you're not all that, nor are you, nor do you have a bag of chips. So he, so he went on ahead, called up, called up the, the county courthouse, and they gave they directed him over towards the to the website where he could look up what the status of it is.
And, apparently, just that day, the court from what everything I've seen, which could have been on Friday or or Thursday or Friday, but anyhow, just here recently, the judge had kit had denied the the request And come to looking at it and stuff, apparently, they filled out a temporary custody order, but filled it out as a permanent. And so there was a discrepancy in there, and so the judge kicked it back because of that. Right. And mother-in-law didn't know about it. My daughter didn't know about it, but boyfriend discovered it.
And so he he was thought he had just discovered the biggest you know, he found the the clue that show who shot JFK. You know? He he thought he had got it all around. He was I ain't paying bullshit. I'm we were I'm gonna we're gonna go to court for the all this, yada yada yada. And and my daughter called. She was kinda worked up, and I was like, okay. Hold up. Hold up. I'm gonna I'll talk to you here in a bit. And so I call up, call up boyfriend. I'm, like, going, what the fuck are you doing? He's like, well, they're trying to take advantage of me. He's like, where do you see that at? It's like, well, there's right here. It's like, yeah. Did you ask Penny if she knew about it? Well, no. Well, it's probably because she doesn't know. My mother-in-law used to be a par well, she still is technically, and my father-in-law is still actually a lawyer. He's just retired.
Right. But I was like, did you get a hold of of the parties required? And he he's like, well, no. It's like, so they probably just found out about it too. My mother-in-law, Penny, she's just she's too busy trying to deal with trying to get her keep her business up and moving. She's not doing paralegal shit no more. So that's at the bottom of her her priority list. Right. She's just trying to get more customers to come in to her to her to her shop. And so he's like, oh, still, I said, I don't think that's, what they've been doing. I don't think that's right. That it's like, well, dude, you're you're sitting there bitching about not having enough money to pay the pay the child support.
You keep asking asking my daughter. It's like, hey. Can can you hold off for this month so that I can get my get my, footing? And my daughter keeps going, well, no. I don't get the chance to get my footing. I don't get a break time on on being able to of having time without my daughter. I have to have I have my daughter with me. We're always able to do stuff together. You can have you can go through and deal with it lie life as it happens in this month, and that includes paying your measly piddly little littleabitty amount, the bare state minimum, and and and deal with.
Right. And and so I Whenever I got a hold of him, I was like going, dude, you know what happens if you do half of what you're predicting? What you're threatening to do? It's like, yeah, I'm a I'll get, get a better deal. It's like, no, dude. First off, it's typically roughly about 20% of what your pay is. What your current pay is. Uh-huh. And that little that little 20 5th, state minimum is not it. Right. You're gonna probably go 1a half, two times, maybe even 2a half times above what you're paying right now. Right? Also, on top of that, daughter has unlimited legal representation.
It's like, well, I I don't have to spend money. I could represent myself. I'm going, yeah. A person who represents himself has a fool and an attorney fools as a client and as an attorney. You get that right. Yeah. You're going to have your ass served over the coals.
[01:06:16] Rich Chelson:
And do Why'd you tell him? What happened? Dude. Why? Why'd you why? Why'd you warn him? Because
[01:06:21] Bryan Goodwin:
that is what I do. Well, Brian, natural selection. Well, I know that's natural selection, but a yes. Course. I do have some time invested in this dude trying to get him to pop his I've been applying liberal amounts of Vaseline to his ears to see if I could get this damn head dislodged from his ass. Well, it hasn't worked yet. So Well, it I know it hasn't.
[01:06:46] Duuude-Ron :
But but anyhow so that was that was Monday. What you what you need to use for leverage on trying to get that popping sound is a 2 by 4. 2 by 4. Yeah. Now whether you're now whether you're using it as, say, a crowbar aspect or as a fat aspect, well, that's up to you. Right. You can you know? Yeah.
[01:07:12] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. So but I Oh, hold up. Hold up. I need to go this way. But, yeah. So then, the following day, Tuesday, he went off and where did it go? Let me look here. Oh, there we go. Did I make him look at the top? A little message over to her, on this because he I'd talked to him, I'd and I drilled it down. I was like, dude, you're you're you're you're fucking up. If you want to if you claim you wanna have so much, I see you you know, I essentially was telling him. I was like, dude, I see you see the clip. You're walking right towards it. You're the be in the pool. You're gonna walk straight off of it. And to a point, man, I I understand what he was doing. He was just he's he was people pleasing like a son of a bitch. So but anyhow, the following day, he shot over to to my daughter and to, to mother-in-law.
Let's go to court. I'm not signing my 50% over for no reason. I've proved that I'm not gonna run off of that, but I I I'll pay, I'll pay my daughter $300 every month without the, without the agreement. I'll represent myself and not and be held in contempt of, for not signing the judge's order. So if y'all want me to lose my job, my house, my new life, that was all in one, then, then do it. All over 1%, custody of the kiddo. All, y'all have a good day. Wow. Okay? That set off a firestorm, obviously. Caused me to catch shit and I ass load of fucking arrows from my daughter, from my wife because I was trying to trying to help dumb fuck not be a dumb fuck.
[01:09:02] Rich Chelson:
Dude. Sometimes
[01:09:04] Bryan Goodwin:
you just Well, no. No. You just gotta let it happen. I I know. I know. I In in I I I do realize this whether I I I mean, I'm I'm thick headed and and granted my son my son is is even worse than I am when it comes to this because he is loyal to a fault. I mean, the person has to damn near literally slip a knife between his ribs before he goes, he should not you're not my friend no more. So he and and he would do it just to be about that nice. He would go, man, I'm sorry. You you know? Like, whenever whatever boyfriend actually went off and because he thought he had a he had a ace up his sleeve, he was gonna call CPS without thinking about what our history with CPS was.
Right. That eve that was that was the the almost and and that was, like I said, almost a night, slipped between the ribs. And Jaden very politely said, man, I can't have you hanging around here. People are gonna be threatening that type of stuff. So sorry, man. They had already had it set up where he they were going to go off, and they have a a shed out the back that's, that almost like what you have, up in, up in Missouri. And they were gonna go ahead and they were gonna insulate everything, get it all decked out, run electricity to it, and, you know, have him just live there, and he could go he could come go through the, through everything. They were gonna figure out how to set up a toilet and all. I mean, give him the they were he was gonna convert this damn shed to a to an apartment for the boyfriend.
Wow. Been kicked out of the house. I mean, this is this is my son. Love him dearly. Right. Until ex boyfriend threatened CPS. And that was when he's gone, dude. I can't. But they still go and play disc golf all the time. So, you know, he's not he's not in the perma Alps. But, hey. You see, you I'm sorry. But but if if you go But again threaten threaten
[01:11:05] Rich Chelson:
Yes. CPS to my sister, we own a perma out. Right. We own the perma outs. You would you would think so. But again, my son
[01:11:14] Bryan Goodwin:
is loyal. This is where that whole phrase loyal to a fault comes into play. God love you. Well and I mean, I and at the same time, even even ex boyfriend is is he's I get what he's what he thinks he's doing. Okay? First off, he grew up in a shitty family. Alright? His dad even went as far as getting him hooked on Harold. Alright? Damn. So he is he's not had the greatest of life. So this is why I have poured so much into this young man and why I still am embattled with myself on going, okay. Well, we're not gonna I'm not talking Alexis about him anymore.
Right. I mean, that, everything there, it will be, if I do talk to him, it's gonna be a he's going to have to reach out to me, top of me. And that's what's happened this week. It's just I'm gonna have one more conversation with him this Sunday, which is when we normally talked. And it's, that's what's gonna be laid down. It's like they, alright, you're, you've you've you've played with fire or die. I took shit because of your decisions. Your decisions affected me directly. Alright? Now, beforehand, I was trying to protect, trying to get him to pay attention and to do right so that he could keep his head above water, so that he could be the person my granddaughter needs. Alright? My granddaughter needs, even though he's a little shit right now, give it about 4 years, he's probably gonna pop his head out of his ass, and he's gonna wonder what in the hell is going on. Why is there why is nobody talking to me? Why am I living by myself in a little a little bitty one bedroom house?
And why is my daughter not paying not paying attention to me? And it's gonna be because my daughter probably found another guy who was 3 times better than he is and actually decided to continue on with the with the relationship. And now Aspen probably has gone off and is like, hey. Alright. This guy is a lot cooler than than the guy who I I come and go by and see from time to time. But he's but the after that, I mean, wife was pissed at me. Because I was still going, yeah, he has gone through shit. He doesn't see he's he's 1 one, he's catchin' he's catchin' advice from from thugtards at at at at work. Alright?
They're all, oh, yeah. Well, you know, I had a I had a, I went off, gave my ex wife or my ex bitch or whatever the one I call her, a $6,000 car, and then, then the judge wouldn't even take that as a as a payment. It's like, no shit. They're not gonna take property as as a payment. They have to be able to up because what you think is $6,000, somebody else thinks is a 180 doll $180. Right. Alright? So no, they don't take property. The a Attorney General will not accept property as a form of payment. You just have to cough up $6,000.
[01:14:34] Rich Chelson:
Question. Boyfriend, how old is he?
[01:14:37] Bryan Goodwin:
He's about 26, 27.
[01:14:40] Rich Chelson:
K. 26, 27. So so his childhood, granted, is it wasn't good, you know, wasn't bad or whatnot. You know? It wasn't good. I mean, he wound up,
[01:14:54] Bryan Goodwin:
I mean, he's he's already lost his dad to, dad actually went off, got himself cleaned up about the same time that Beck's boyfriend decided to get himself cleaned. Okay. Okay. Okay. That's cool. And that's awesome. But see but hang on. Here's the thing. Here's the thing.
[01:15:13] Rich Chelson:
He's an adult. He has the choice. Oh, yeah. So so so using his past as a crutch
[01:15:21] Bryan Goodwin:
No. Not what is is null and void. No. I no. I get I get that. What? How But his past How? Because of his past, he didn't have a a good model as to how to be a properly good, healthy, noble man.
[01:15:39] Duuude-Ron :
Well, I understand that. And but but the thing is, how long have you been working with him and talking with him? About a year now. About a year. And and Little over. Yeah. Yeah. And, and,
[01:15:51] Rich Chelson:
boyfriend is still being a dumbass? Well This bad?
[01:15:54] Bryan Goodwin:
No. I mean, I mean, I I I I get to be a dumbass. He's being a dumbass this bad. And, there's a couple of excuses, and I agree. They are excuses. Excuses are nothing but but Assholes. Slobber. Assholes. Well, that's that that's that that's shit. But assholes are shit. But, but assholes are nothing more than lies that we tell ourselves. Right. I get that. Okay? So I I acknowledge the fact that I am fixing to share with you the lies that I told myself as to why I wanted to keep going with with ex boyfriend. Alright? Okay. Okay. So it's fully acknowledged. I know I'm lying to myself. I was telling myself excuses. Okay. But I wanted to show him that he had an opportunity.
And I told myself that me talking to him and him trying stuff was good. Now, I also wasn't paying attention to what he wasn't doing, and he wasn't trying. Okay. In the past couple days, I've looked back upon everything that we've done, everything I've talked about. He would say, oh, yeah. I'll do that. I'll do that. And never would do it. Right. Right. Which okay. I get that. He he wasn't doing it, and that were there was a lot of other tidbits in there. So he was definitely people pleasing or at least agreeing enough to get me to shut the fuck up. Pretty much. It's the reason why this Sunday, I'm telling him, when you hear the pop, you can call me back.
I'm happy. And I'm gonna and and I'm not just gonna go, okay. Well, oh, well, congratulations on the pop. I'm going to have them describe what that pop sounded like. Well, the thing is And how long did his ears ring after he finally got cold air to touch his ears? Right. But but hang on. Let me ask you this. Well, why do you even wanna waste
[01:17:48] Rich Chelson:
your words on that? Because
[01:17:51] Bryan Goodwin:
young men
[01:17:52] Rich Chelson:
are worth it. Yes. I agree. But but if well, okay. I can't I can't really argue with you because, like, like my nephew, Dusty. You know, it it took him. Well, he's, like, 32, 33 now. And I I actually, I think he was 26 or 27 when when, I got to working with him. Yeah. Because he would come home after work and ask me questions and, you know, I mean, we'd have long discussions and everything like this. Yeah. And that that's the problem that I had is that I was
[01:18:34] Bryan Goodwin:
I was the one he he wasn't coming voluntarily over to me. Oh, okay. That instead see, that's one of the again, one of the reasons if he wants to if he when he hears the pop, he's gotta initiate. Yeah. Yeah. Well Because I was I was essentially the one I guess you you wanna call it chasing him around. Right. Well I was the one who was, at at 5 o'clock on Sundays, I would shoot a text. You ready? And a lot of times, he would call whenever I shot that. But, again, what he was doing, it was either very I don't even I I I wanna say it's people pleasing, but it's not people pleasing. Because he would, in a not even He would not do what we talked about. Or he would do the exact opposite. Like, I just want them to go grab a, they found a place that, would've been, well, just right next door to where they, where, where granddaughter lives. Mhmm.
So he could have lived there. Everybody would know, you know, everybody would be able to go to to his house. He'd come over to theirs and be within, you know, just 2 minutes of each other. Right. The deal was they were like, no. You can't be, you can't be, a a felon, which he's a felon. He decided to do armed robbery in a convenience store, and he spent time in prison. Okay. So, again, because and I wanted to try to show him that, hey. Yeah. He went to prison. Stop using prison as a as an excuse because that was one of the thing. Well, no one will harm me because I've been to because I'm going. It's like Oh, shit. No. You're you're that's the reason why you're holding yourself back. You're the one that's holding yourself in prison still. So, but he, but anyhow, as like, first off, you know what happens if you don't tell somebody that you've been in a a been to prison and you go to one of these, apartment complexes?
It's like, no. It's like, you give them an excuse to be able to bore quickly, kick you out. Yeah. Other than that, if you're paying your bills on time, you pay that rent the first day of the month every single time, and you're right there, Jimmy, on the spot. Guess what? Yeah. They too shit. May throw a fit a bit about tell you, we we need to know that you you're a felon. It's like, okay. I got it. But I've been here for a year and a half, and y'all didn't know, and everything's okay. You know, you could've done that. But instead, what he did is he walked right in there and goes, hey. I'm a felon. Do y'all have any places open?
[01:21:16] Rich Chelson:
Wrong answer.
[01:21:18] Bryan Goodwin:
And and she's like, we talked we we expressly talked about don't
[01:21:25] Rich Chelson:
do that. Right. And well well, you see the thing is a lot of people think, well, no. That's that's the right thing to do. That's the lawful thing to do. Where does it say by law that you have to disclose that you're a felon?
[01:21:41] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, only if you're in is the businesses themselves don't even actually have to don't actually have to, require it. But, I mean, but at the same time, I mean, if you're working at a bank and you've gone to prison for theft, okay, then, yeah, you probably wanna know that the person's been there. Yeah. Okay. Okay. A bank a bank is a
[01:22:00] Rich Chelson:
a bank is not relevant here because we know we know we know a felon is not gonna work at a bank. Right. So It's not gonna happen. But but this is what I'm saying, you know, a a a freaking regular job, you know, and and these fellas say, oh, I'm I'm trying to do everything right. That's great. That's fine. I'm glad you are. But I gotta tell people this. No. You don't.
[01:22:24] Bryan Goodwin:
No. You don't actually have to wear that scarlet letter. No. There is no law
[01:22:30] Rich Chelson:
that says, unless you're a sex offender, that's different. There is a law that you have to disclose that on everything. But other than that, you don't have to tell anybody shit.
[01:22:43] Bryan Goodwin:
No. You just let your life I mean Do do you
[01:22:46] Rich Chelson:
stay out of trouble, pay your bills?
[01:22:49] Bryan Goodwin:
And when you And I mean, there there are those who there are those people who I mean, if you work at some place and you say, no. You're not a you're not a felon, and they find out, there's a lot of places that will go on ahead and turn around. No matter how well of a of a, of a of a person you are, they'll turn around and and and punch you because you lied on the application.
[01:23:13] Rich Chelson:
Okay. Okay. Okay. Hold on. But Hold on. But, again, that's Hold on. They gonna fire you for lying on the application, but yet turn around and fucking lie to you about the job you're doing or how much you're getting paid or the overtime or whatever. And that's okay.
[01:23:31] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah.
[01:23:32] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. See, I mean, I'm sorry, but I and I I I mean, I'm not I'm not arguing with you because I know. I know. You know, I know you're right because, yeah, if you allow an application,
[01:23:44] Bryan Goodwin:
especially with I've had a cat I have a yeah. Oh my god. Yeah. I've had a couple, a couple friends who were who were, had gotten themselves into trouble and and and said no. And then some jerk off who had a had an axe to grind is like would go along and whisper in HR's ears. Like, hey. Or, you know, they're they're a felon. Right? And, don't know how the fell how they how the jerk off would figure out that there was that, figure out that, he had not put it down on the on the application, but a couple times were yeah. They were like, yep. Yeah. Sorry. We're we can't have you, and let them go that moment.
[01:24:23] Rich Chelson:
But see but see, you see, see, it's a freaking double standard. I don't know. It's just, you see, this is where, this is where some of it, I mean, it's, it's all a catch 22 damned if you do damned, if you don't. Right. And and I mean, everything we've we've talked about basically on this second round is is a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.
[01:24:48] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. But And I mean, that's and that's a lot like, yeah, you know, the if you were to to juxtapose it against, like, Le Meserab, you know, you had Jean Valjean, who was this who was this felon for stealing bread. And until he changed who changed identities and changed who he was, then, then all of a sudden, he became this, you know, this pillar of the community. Right. And he was he was looked upon, you know, looked upon as a a very esteemed person. And then until they found out that he was, you know, he was prisoner 24601. And he's it's like, no. We're, you are a, are are an undesirable. We can't have you in, in the city no more. Yeah. But but you see the thing is why? Because he had changed from what he was.
Yeah. And that's And that's kinda that's a lot of what Victor Hugo was trying to try trying to describe in that in that in that whole story was that that and it's French, that French laws often don't give people who have paid their debts to society because they have a yellow letter that they're supposed to that, Jean Valjean was supposed to carry around. He had this letter saying that I he is a convicted felon and you have to show this to anybody who asked for it and yada yada yada. And he was, like, going, but I've paid my debt. Right. It's like, but the law is you still have to show everybody this. And if you don't, then you're going back to prison. But but okay. Hang on. Hang on. Take exactly what you said right there and put it right here in America today. Yeah. And it's The same thing. Same thing. Yeah. The same thing. And I think and I think it's wrong. I think that once you're done, well, I think it should be once you're done paying your debt to society.
Now, granted, there are a lot of dumb sons of bitches who love to go right back into where they were. Well, you know, let them. Say Yeah. But say, you've, you've paid your debts to the side. 5 years, if you are If you have kept your nose clean, and you have been a productive citizen, whatever that describe, whatever that is, for 5 years. That sounds like a long time, but it's not nearly as long as we'd like to think. Right. If you if you don't even If you don't get so much as even a parking ticket, I think that you're require you become a full legal citizen, a citizen again. Because and that's and that includes getting a firearm, being able to carry a weapon, be able to protect yourself again. Because that's one of the biggest, atrocities that I think we, as a modern society, was, certain inalienable rights shall not be infringed. Well, unless unless you're unless you're a felon, and then we're gonna fringe all shit all over. Yeah. But but you see, that's the thing. What about what about people that are pardoned?
[01:27:56] Rich Chelson:
A That part a full unequivocal
[01:28:00] Bryan Goodwin:
pardon. Yeah. That is that is strict of funds.
[01:28:03] Rich Chelson:
Right. They should have everything restored right then and there. I think they do, don't they? I I see. I don't know. I don't either. I don't yeah. You know, that's I I I mean but but you see, though, even e okay. Let's say someone did a, 10 year stretch. They was, they was eligible for parole at 6 years, but they chose not to go through parole. So so, when they did the 10 years, they wouldn't have to do even probation once they got out. They could walk out free.
[01:28:38] Bryan Goodwin:
Totally free. Right. But again, a lot of times, I mean, some folks don't become reformed. Well, no. I know this. Saying like that. I know this. 5 years, 5 years afterwards. If you're if you keep your nose clean, it's not so much even probation. Just as long as you as long as you don't add anything else to your record in that 5 year stretch, congratulations. You're 100% US citizen again at grade a citizen, and you get to go do whatever it is you, regular citizen does. Well, the thing is why why is it 5 years? Because most of the time
[01:29:12] Rich Chelson:
most of the time when, people get out, if they're gonna fuck up, it's gonna be within the 1st year.
[01:29:18] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Okay. I would I would be settled for two and a half years. I mean Just to give them a little bit of a buffer just so so in case they're they're doing real good, but then all of a sudden, they get sent back in. Okay. Okay. But but still
[01:29:31] Rich Chelson:
still, the thing is, they did 10 years standing. Yeah. They walked out free. No paper. No nothing. Why do they have to go for another two and a half years?
[01:29:42] Bryan Goodwin:
I don't think that's fair either, but at the same time with with the way that democrats want, to do their Screw the democrats. Well, I know. I know. I know. I know. But the way they wanna do, you know, criminal reform, which is completely bass, ackwards.
[01:30:00] Rich Chelson:
Well, yeah. And the see, the thing is,
[01:30:05] Bryan Goodwin:
oh my god. I I I mean I mean, when it comes to this shit, everybody wants to blame something in their life or blame the past. Oh, yeah. No. Blame everything else but themselves. No one wants to take responsibility for it as their eyes. I fucked up. I had to do 10 a 10 year stretch and now Yeah. I'm out. And I could and that's again. But again, that would do also fall into, I accept the fact that I would have to do another two and a half years of just keeping my nose clean to show to prove to people that, yes, I actually did learn my lesson. But you see, you Well, I I get it. But at the same time hold it. But they Why why do you have to prove anything to anybody?
[01:30:46] Rich Chelson:
Exactly.
[01:30:46] Bryan Goodwin:
You've got a full grown adult. You don't bow to another adult, do you? But well, you do if that full grown adult didn't know how to behave themselves in society and act as a damn fool and started throwing a temper tantrum and shot 2 people, and they had to go to prison. Well, then let's see. Did you really learn your lesson But while you were in in prison? So now let's Holy hell. Give you a 2 and a half years. That's all you gotta do. 2 and a half years No. You see. Of just minding your minding your business. Keep your nose clean. So so
[01:31:17] Rich Chelson:
so so so, so, even even if they do their time in prison, they still have to get out of prison and say yes to boss
[01:31:27] Bryan Goodwin:
for 2 and a half years. Yes to the boss. They just have to make sure they mind their p's and q's.
[01:31:33] Rich Chelson:
They gotta say yes to the boss for another two and a half years. For another two and a half years, they have to mind their p's and q's? No. Because Because They're go because most people are going to,
[01:31:43] Bryan Goodwin:
it's not most people, but there's are those who are like you said, within the 1st year, most of them are going to fall off. They're gonna do something stupid. They're gonna go back to their gangs and or back to their group. They're gonna get back into with the same group people that got them in thrown into prison in the 1st place. Dude, I know this, but but this is what I'm saying.
[01:32:05] Rich Chelson:
Why are you gonna force a a person who's who's been in prison to to freaking bow down to you. Because basically, you It's not necessarily
[01:32:16] Bryan Goodwin:
I I I don't I don't see that. How's that bowed down? That Because To actually have to mind the laws like everybody else does. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. In
[01:32:27] Rich Chelson:
prison, they have to bow down to the guards and do what the guards tell them. Okay? No. I get that. That is that is guaranteed. When they get out okay. Now, yes, they do know they do know that they have to follow the laws again. They do know if they don't follow the laws, they're gonna get fucked up and thrown back in prison. Okay. So so why do you wanna make them tow the line Like they're still in prison for another two and a half years to prove what they've done it for 10 years. Didn't get in trouble in prison the whole time. If, if, if, if, if they can prove that, why do you wanna make them do it another two and a half years?
[01:33:13] Bryan Goodwin:
Because I'm sure that there would be plenty of the of one side or the other that would say, well, we need to have proof that they're actually gonna keep their nosebleed. And that would be just and what that 5 2 and a half to 5 years, if there was anything, that would just be the bargaining chip. Because no. I in all reality, I'm with you. If once they got finished with it, they should be able to step out and have be reinstated with all of their rights. Right. That means they can actually legally protect themselves. They can go buy a gun and hold on to it and and and And vote. Mind themselves and don't have to go, well, I would I I did 5 10 years in prison. So may I have, have some work? No. It's Okay. I think it would work as if they were able to to I think you're it would you're right on that. But at the same time, society is still going to go, well, okay. You just spent a shit ton of time in a very hostile environment.
Did you really did you just decide to conform, or did you actually fix yourself?
[01:34:25] Rich Chelson:
Oh, woah. Woah. Woah. Okay. Okay. Hang on here. We're fixing to get on this one. Let's go with this one. Okay. Hold hold a damn minute right here. Okay? Let's shift gears just slightly. Okay? Your last statement said that that that a society said, well, you've just spent 10 years in a, hostile environment. Did you really learn something or fix yourself? Let me ask you this. What about our military?
[01:34:56] Bryan Goodwin:
How many years did they spend in a hostile environment? But they also had a different set of order. You had a chain of command that was there. In prison, yeah, you had your you had your your your your warden, you had the you had the guards, but you also had your other little factions of of gangs that were roaming around in there. You don't You also had to pay attention to You don't think there's factions in in in the military? Well, I mean, yeah, you got your gun buddies. You got your motor motor club. You got you know? Yeah. But but
[01:35:29] Rich Chelson:
but, but, but hold on here though. Hold on here though. You see, that's the thing. Who, who is, without fault to decide if if that person who just did 10 years in prison,
[01:35:46] Duuude-Ron :
who is to make the determination
[01:35:49] Rich Chelson:
that that they can be a full citizen again.
[01:35:52] Bryan Goodwin:
I mean, they Well, sadly, it's the government that has to make that full decision.
[01:35:56] Rich Chelson:
Now you see, that's the thing, though. Because Now nowadays now, it is. Half them half them half them people up there in Washington, DC are as crooked or Oh, hell yeah. No. I agree. Than a guy or girl getting out of fucking prison. Yeah. So so, I mean, you've got someone, you know, doing worse shit saying, oh, okay. Okay. You're good now. You could be a full citizen again. Bullshit. You see, this is where this is where I I have a problem to where another man tells me, another woman tells me. And and you see, when I say man, I I mean everybody. I'll go fuck. No. I I know what you're saying. You know? But Right. I I was also explaining for our listeners too that in case there was any confusion. Right? But but you see, that's the thing. I mean, I mean, I will bow down to no man, no woman in any way, shape, or form.
If if they say, well, you have to do this or or, you know, I want to see you. I'm going out. I don't care. You know? And that's the thing. This this is why I have such a hard time on this subject. Okay. They screwed up. They did their time. They did nothing wrong in prison. Okay. And they get out and yet they still have to prove themselves for another two and a half, 5 years, whatever. I mean, it's it's not real. Hypothetical. Yeah. Yeah. This is hypothetical. But still, just the thought of that, fuck, leave me in prison. I got 3 hats and a cop, baby. Right. You know, I mean, I got food. I got health care. I got a library.
You know, I I can finish my education or start another one. Fucking 5 years, I could have a mat walk out with a master's degree. Damn near. Yeah. You know? I mean Right. Yeah. See, that's the thing. So so, you know, I don't get where one man can tell another man or woman, whatever, blah blah blah. If that that they're good. But, you know, it just it just, you know, I don't I don't get it, man. I I I don't agree with it. You know? I just you you know, most of the time most of the time, like we said, within 6 months to a year, most people, if if they're gonna screw up, they're gonna screw up in that time. Now sometimes later on, things happen, and they make wrong decisions, and they wind up back in prison. Guess what?
Welcome to life, baby. You can't control it. You can't control life for someone else. Just can't. But, yeah, it seems like everybody today is trying to do that. All these all these protests and shit like that trying to force us to to to agree with them or get canceled or, or, or go along with them. No. You can't force me to change my way of thinking if I don't wanna change it. There's a lot of people that you cannot force them no matter what. They're going to stand hard. And that's, I don't know. I I'm,
[01:39:18] Duuude-Ron :
I'm just,
[01:39:20] Rich Chelson:
I'm just, I'm just like,
[01:39:22] Bryan Goodwin:
Bravo. I, you you I love the speech, though. I love the I love the talking. I love the point that that you made because they're good. They're valid, strong points. And that's, if I if there was a way to actually execute it as how you described it, I would prefer that over the over doing the 2a half to 5 years. Right. I just know that there's some people who would if we were to try to instill that, we would still have somebody, and it might be a little old gray a little old lady, or may end up being, you know, some, you know, snot nosed professor in some some ivory tower of a college, who goes, oh, we can't be doing that because they're going to return return to to violence.
And it's like, well, okay. What if they keep the what if they act acclimate themselves back into society? We give them 2 years, two and a half years to fully acclimate. After that, boom, they've got all, you know, that would be, like I said, that would be post I would come to a, to a bargaining chip. You know? Because, I mean, and it it's because I've, like I said, if you've if you've spent your if you've gone through the violence, and and the chaos of a of a fucking prison, I mean, let's get you back out into society where you could because I'm sure you've learned some new ways to actually hustle a hustle up some money in a legal fashion.
[01:40:55] Rich Chelson:
Right. I you see this thing. I I mean, you know, we just need more. See, I don't know exactly what we need, but, I mean, I mean, we just need to teach more people how to, be in better control of of their minds. Yeah. I I mean, that's, that's honestly what it is. I mean, if, I mean, watch the news. Yeah. Watch away and and and and don't even watch, but about 30 minutes of it. And you're gonna see people running around acting a fucking fool. Don't don't know what to do. And it's like, that's stupid. That, I mean, it is. It's like it because when you get to the point to where you can control your thoughts, and yes, it is possible.
It's been it's been proven by the greats, you know, what Confucius, freaking, Plato, all, all their boys, Marcus, Marcus Aurelius. I mean, if, if, if you wind up controlling your thoughts in your mind, Oh my God, the possibilities are endless. You could have endless of everything. Peace, happiness, wealth, if you want it. And I mean, it's, I mean, is it, is it something that you can walk out to the grocery store and get? No.
[01:42:23] Bryan Goodwin:
No. It's it takes time. It takes it takes, people literally paying attention to what their thoughts are. And that's the biggest challenge is because people want don't wanna think about what their thoughts are. Well, no. They just Because that's that's a challenge. That's hard. That that that takes we we wanna make sure we keep our brains we have 3 massive motivators. That is, we want to seek pleasure, avoid pain, and do it as efficiently as possible.
[01:42:54] Rich Chelson:
And that And
[01:42:56] Bryan Goodwin:
learning to pay attention to what your thoughts are is not efficient. It it's kinda painful from time to time, and it it is and it's and it's not always pleasurable because you see you see that your suffering is from you.
[01:43:12] Rich Chelson:
Right. And and people people actually just shut that down and don't believe it and blame it on something else. Right. And you see, that's where that's where that's where you can't do that. I mean, you you have to take responsibility. And I'll tell you what, that's a freaking bitter pill to swallow when you're doing that. Yeah. You know? I it it really is. I mean, I mean, I'm nowhere I'm nowhere near where I need to be, but I'm
[01:43:42] Bryan Goodwin:
I'm working on it. Yeah. It's closer than when you started.
[01:43:46] Duuude-Ron :
Whole lot closer when I started.
[01:43:48] Rich Chelson:
But yeah. Yeah. No. It it just but yeah. See, this is the shit that just irks me, though. Because it's like like well, like, take my nephew, Dusty. Right? K. I'm I mean, at first, when I started coming around and and I would hear, he'd do something stupid. Oh, I'd I'd I'd freaking jump his case. I would jump his his hard. Trying to get him to start listening. And finally, now he's it's funny and it's scary at the same time because here's a thought process, and this is what he told me the other night. His thought process and and the way he thinks mirrors mine quite a bit.
He's he's not he's he's not a 100% there, but he's he's working on it. And I've just like, I'm just like, oh my God, we're in trouble. No, no. It's good though. It's good though, because he has settled down. He, he thinks a lot more now before, you know, before, you know, if it popped into his head, he was like, fuck it. Let's go do it. He didn't care if it could have killed him or what, because
[01:45:00] Bryan Goodwin:
that's my son. Yep. Yeah.
[01:45:03] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Someone thinking
[01:45:05] Bryan Goodwin:
My son and his, the famous night of, of, him and a friend of his said, hey. It's gonna be a good idea. Let's we we got some alcohol. Let's get drunk. So they get drunk. They go to the local bar, and the local bar won't let them in. Right. And some of the patrons there were basically standing there at the door just going, no. You you kids are drunk. Get your ass soaked. And Jayden being drunk himself said, what? Wanna hit me? Go ahead. Hit me. The guy decked him, landed him out. He's like, well, I wasn't ready. Yeah. I don't care.
[01:45:44] Rich Chelson:
You
[01:45:45] Bryan Goodwin:
you say it hit you. And they they they ended up ended up walking home. And I mean, Jaden had a shiner. Like, what happened? Oh my god. I got hit. Well, he hit you. So it's just so so. And I was like, oh, okay. I know that guy. So I went and talked to them and said, said, so and so, and it's like, so what happened? He's like, oh, he wanted me to he said he wouldn't like the fact that I won't we weren't letting him into the bar. And he said, well, what are you gonna do? You gonna hit me? Then go ahead and hit me. So I did. I'm like, bro. Well, good job. Yeah. Thank you. I mean, I yeah. Took his hand, bought him a bought him a beer later on that night. And I was like, alright. Well, good job. Thanks thanks for raising thanks for making sure my kid has a, good head on his shoulder. And he does.
Now, I mean, it it it took a took a good sized fist up beside the face to Well, you know, that helps. Knock a brain loose. Wow. Oh, hell yeah. No. But And and everybody throws a fit about that, but I do. I think, especially young men, need to have an older man just kick their ass once in their life. Just show them it's like, yeah. That might be a 50 year old man, but that 50 year old man has 50 year old man arms. They have 50, they have old man strength. And that stuff is where they can they can move a tractor
[01:47:02] Rich Chelson:
if they need to. Old muscle. Old muscle. Old muscle. Exactly. I I I I remember I was work I was working at a at a recycle center and, I had some community service workers and I, it was a slow day. It was and everything we had, we had one of our trailers that that had sat out in town and people would throw glass glass bottles, plastic bottles, and stuff like that in these bins, papers and stuff. And we'd bring the trailer back, unload it, process it all right. And, and, one of the guys, he was probably old God, I'd say early twenties and I mean, nice guy, but, but yet yet kind of cocky.
[01:47:47] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. And,
[01:47:49] Rich Chelson:
Hey, Hey, we was talking about moving that trailer
[01:47:53] Duuude-Ron :
and he looked at me and he says,
[01:47:56] Rich Chelson:
you can't pick that trailer up. I looked at him. I said, how much money you want to lose?
[01:48:01] Bryan Goodwin:
He just looked at me and
[01:48:04] Rich Chelson:
his buddy was like, dude, don't do it. Don't do it, dude. And because I mean, this is a 40 foot long trailer. You know, it's not very tall. I mean, loaded probably weighs close to £3, £4,000. Right. Okay. And, he's like, no, seriously. Alright, dude. Let's bet. So we betted. Alright. I, I walked across the parking lot, set my pants. I bent down, grabbed the tongue of that trailer and just lifted it straight up. I, then I turned back and looked at him and said, where do you want me to put it? His eyes and mouth. His eyes got freaking big. His mouth dropped to the ground. He's like, hey. I come walking back.
He's like, I ain't fucking with you, dude. You got old man muscles.
[01:48:56] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, the the funny thing is old man muscles is all just knowing where where the the fulcrum is and and the levers are. Yeah. So it's not that we're any stronger. It's just I know that I can bend your finger backwards this direction. You're gonna go any direction I want you to go. So, you know
[01:49:14] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. It's it's wisdom. It's knowledge. It's experience. But but and and see, that's the thing, though. You, you say a lot of young people today, they still, they still think we're full of shit. And, and honestly, honestly, I do agree with you that that everybody at one point in their life needs a good ass kicking.
[01:49:36] Bryan Goodwin:
Absolutely. From, no.
[01:49:38] Rich Chelson:
And because, because it shows people, Hey, you're not entitled. The world don't owe you shit. World don't owe you shit. You, your pants are nowhere near as big as you think you are. Right. And, and the thing is you have to fight for what you want. It's not going to be handed to you. And I mean, you know, I'm not saying, you know, hurt him to no end or whatnot, but, you know, go ahead. Just open. Bark his ass on the, in the dirt once and just let him wonder what the hell just hit him. Yeah. You know? And, and, you know, and and maybe it might it might help him hear that pop a little earlier, you know? Yeah.
I mean, it you you know, it took me a few times to
[01:50:25] Bryan Goodwin:
hear that pop to Yeah. Well, finally finally, it was it. My son, famously because it's usually about 26 years old. The average kid will hear the pop, which if you're not familiar with, the pop is actually the sound of when one successfully dislodges their head from their anus. Yes. And so when you hear the pop, it's usually around a 26 year mark because and both of them first pop. That's the first pop. That's the that's the great that's the first big awakening.
[01:50:55] Rich Chelson:
Yep.
[01:50:56] Bryan Goodwin:
And a lot of people and a lot of times with with the the young kids, when they hit bat 26, the big pop is actually, oh, mom and dad are actually kinda smart. They they aren't quite as dumb and old and fuddy duddy as I thought they were. They were they actually have a a clue about the way the world works. And, I mean, that's the that's about the time I heard the pop. That's about that that was the time that Jaden when he turned about 26, because that's when he was, like, going dead. You lost more than I thought you were. Well, yeah.
[01:51:32] Rich Chelson:
But see, the thing is, I'd say probably not now. Maybe not everybody, but, you know, probably about in the mid thirties, you know, late, early, late thirties to the mid thirties is you'll hear a little smaller pop and you'll, and you'll actually get a little more wisdom. Yeah. You know, over everything. And then if you're if you're actually paying attention to your thoughts and stuff like this, when you hit about 50, you'll you'll sit there and think, I've lived 50 freaking years. And just sit and contemplate that number.
And and and and think about how long 50 years is, even though 50 years is nothing but a moment in, in, all of time, but still in in in our small little minds, 50 years is a long time. And think back of what you've done, all your stupid shit. And I mean, I'm not saying
[01:52:38] Bryan Goodwin:
Not though not that we got much smarter. We just got more eloquent in our stupid shit.
[01:52:42] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right. There we go. And and we know how to stay away from the cameras. Yeah. Yeah. So So I mean, gen x, baby. We I mean, we're good. But Yeah. Seriously, that's the thing, you know, and, you know, that's why that, yeah, 26 is the first major pop. I'd say I'd I'd say about the mid thirties, early forties, depending on on how you are. You get, you know, a little smarter, little wiser. And then if you're paying attention by 50
[01:53:12] Bryan Goodwin:
or just You're getting pops all all the time, but typically, they're they're your knees and your hip. Yes. Oh god. Please don't fucking
[01:53:20] Rich Chelson:
do. This is what? My third one this evening?
[01:53:25] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, really?
[01:53:26] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Dude, I'm I'm man, I Was that a Viagra? No. Biagua? No. No. It's, Goodies headache powder.
[01:53:39] Duuude-Ron :
Oh, okay.
[01:53:41] Rich Chelson:
So Yeah. I couldn't. Yeah. It's a little hard since I got the background. It, likes Yeah. Yeah.
[01:53:50] Bryan Goodwin:
And don't worry. So what do y'all think of the, of the the day of a 1,000 testicles that happened earlier this week?
[01:53:57] Duuude-Ron :
The what?
[01:53:58] Bryan Goodwin:
The day of a 1,000 testicles.
[01:54:01] Rich Chelson:
What the hell?
[01:54:03] Bryan Goodwin:
Y'all not hear about the pager the the bug No. I The pagers? The what? I ain't even paid attention. Okay. Well, the act and, actually, I heard a theory on this. That is amazing. And I I I wanna pass this off to y'all, see what y'all think. Okay. So first off, to lay it out, so so in case you hadn't heard, Tuesday, thousands of pagers started, started to explode in Lebanon. Yep. Now these pages were all being blown up on people who were a part of Hezbollah. Alright? And if that brings any if that tells you anything, these were probably done by Masad, which is, Israel's CIA.
Now the theory is and I I like this theory, and I think it's probably a lot more true than the than anybody's gonna admit. That probably 6 months earlier than than what this because well, what hap what they ended up doing is they ended up getting intercepting a a shipment of these thousands of pay of pagers. And they they're not sure exactly where they they put the explosive, but they put some explosive in that pager. Either they used a injection molded explosive, charge, and put it and replaced the back of, the pager, and it was hard enough that it actually felt like plastic. Or what other people kinda thinking is they probably ended up taking the battery out and putting a half a battery, a half size battery in there, and connecting, shaped, high explosives in the rest of the battery, the rest of the battery, compartment, or ended up making a battery that looked like that was only half the size, the other half was high explosive. Either way, they got some high explosive packed inside of these char, inside of these pagers.
Right. And around 3:30, Tuesday afternoon, in in, in Lebanon time, all these pagers started going off. Just exploding. Just I mean, just almost all synchronized. And so, again, depending on where you hide your, your your or set your your pager, there's a good chance you had a testicle go or 2 go flying off somewhere in a different direction. Okay. So that's where the that's where everybody started calling it the night the day of the thousand testicle. Okay. Now So Let me let let me ask you this.
[01:56:44] Rich Chelson:
Let me ask you this. Okay? First off, why is everyone jumping to the conclusion that it's Masai? Now it could be. I'm not saying it's Because it's Israel's fighting with with, with Hezbollah. I know this. I know this. But don't you think it could be another country that's fed up with the shit that that had a hacker hacking all these and No. No. No. Because they actually had to intercept
[01:57:11] Bryan Goodwin:
and actually implant this high explosive into the Patriot. Yes. I know. I know this. So but anyhow. So but here's the here's the reason another reason why they think that they might be factory, dude. Well, it could've been done at the factory. It but more than likely what they did is they intercepted. They said, hey. Here's these pagers. And so they went through and worked on it. But the thing is,
[01:57:34] Rich Chelson:
are we sure it's Masai?
[01:57:36] Bryan Goodwin:
Could it be could it be another terrorist group? Could it be I think no. I don't think it was another terrorist group. And here and here's why. And here's why. The theory is because in to work if you were to synchronize all these explosives to go off at the same time, they did kill some, but most of them were just really severe, really severe injuries. Right. That did wasn't gonna kill them. It okay. It was a great hip replacement for, for Hezbollah.
[01:58:10] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right.
[01:58:12] Bryan Goodwin:
But what if 6 month about 6 months before, you decided you're gonna start slipping a bunch of your own agents into the hospitals of Lebanon. See. Knowing that you would have access to the computers, to everything else, and all of a sudden, one day, 3:30, all of a sudden you start getting all these Hezbollah guys coming in. And so what are you gonna do? Well, you're going to be be able to go, oh, hey, look. You've got you got a busted hip. Oh, what happened? Oh, your pager blew. Okay. That's pager. That's Hezbollah. Okay. And your name is, is, George.
Is is is, you know, is is Mohammed Mohammed Mohammed bin Mohammed? Okay. Okay. There we go. Your phone number, sis? Yeah. But And you live here. And Okay. And there's there's a picture of you. Okay. Okay. Great. Thank you. And now you've got thousands of all these documents of where this person lives,
[01:59:17] Rich Chelson:
what he does for, for Right. I know this. But, but see, the thing is you can actually arrest him and round him up right then and there.
[01:59:26] Bryan Goodwin:
Because Well, no. He they won't be able to because that's in Lebanon. That's not in Gaza. Gaza is Hamas. Hezbollah is is is Lebanon's form of of Hamas. Right. Right. Without being without being a controlling portion of the,
[01:59:42] Rich Chelson:
Now see, the thing is check out check this out. These pagers. Okay? These pagers were not hard to set up to blow at the same time. Not at all. No, I'm sure not. I mean, dude, I mean, because all these pagers have a phone number attached to them. Yeah. You just needed that list of phone numbers and set it up on an auto dial with, you know, couple banks of computers. Yeah. No. I get it. And freaking auto dial them and and set them off. But you see, I and yeah. I mean, I you see, that's the thing. I don't know. I I mean, honestly
[02:00:22] Bryan Goodwin:
And then they then yesterday, they had a bunch of walkie talkies start doing the same thing.
[02:00:28] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I know. Because because one of them, and you see now that, that is different. But because one of them had the name Icom on it, which Icom is an amateur radio manufacturer. Oh my god. The fucking ham radio community is just going in shit. Oh, we gotta talk about, you know, Icom put out a statement. This is an old fucking radio. It's not a brand new radio. Yeah. Why does Icom have to put out a statement? They don't. Why does why does YouTube ham radio YouTube guys have to put out a statement? They don't. But they do It helps their their channel out because they make a statement. But but you see, that's the thing. This is a problem with fucking America. People always keep the fear going, keep the anxiety going, keep the shit going just to keep everybody on edge.
That's why we need Xanax and fucking all this other mental health bullshit is because everybody is, oh, the sky is falling. The sky is falling. They've been saying it for 30 fucking years. If not long. Oh, yeah. Probably longer. I mean, 30 years since I've been listening. You know? Right. But yeah. Right. But still, you know, and that, you know, the see, this is what irks me. It's like, stop. So what if a radio said I come? What what is, is someone gonna flip out if if, the, say, a radio says Baofeng? I mean, it's a Chinese made radio, and it's it's actually a good radio. So you know?
[02:02:15] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. They just send their information back over to over to the motherland for you.
[02:02:21] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. You know, that's the thing. Is there any proof of that?
[02:02:25] Bryan Goodwin:
The only thing they've had is that there have been a couple of, chips that have had man in the middle attacks, where they actually were able to set up a separate chip and solder it onto the onto the motherboard Right. That would actually intercept the data and send it off. And those but, again, I forget which which What? Which chip company got
[02:02:51] Rich Chelson:
Which products?
[02:02:53] Bryan Goodwin:
That's what I was trying to remember is I can't remember which product it was. Okay. So But but it was a it it wasn't many, but there was a couple that were found to have these little little man in the middle Right. Okay. But but it was it was found and and corrected.
[02:03:10] Rich Chelson:
Right?
[02:03:11] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, as far as I know.
[02:03:12] Rich Chelson:
Okay. So so so therefore, since as far as we know with the information we have, it was found and corrected. So because, I just read some, the, DJI band on drones. That's that's that's going to Congress has passed Congress. It's it's it's fiction to go to Senate. And if it passes the Senate, 1, it's gonna shoot the price of DJI drones through the fucking roof, but it will it will ban new models. The models that they have right now, they'll sell them. But
[02:03:54] Bryan Goodwin:
there you go. There you go. Go ahead and buy yourself 2 more DJI,
[02:04:00] Rich Chelson:
right.
[02:04:01] Bryan Goodwin:
And there you go. You got your you got your, you got your house paid.
[02:04:07] Rich Chelson:
You think? Yeah. I mean I mean yeah. I I I mean, that's the thing. You know, I'm sitting here because if this passes, say the many the the drones that are being made right now can still be sold in America. Mhmm. Okay. But no new models can come out. So just because, other companies, other yeah. Drone companies, I I I I won't use the word I was gonna say. Drone companies who make shit products can, sell their shit and, maybe make a few pennies. I'm sorry, but, you know, I look at the quality of of of the drone itself. The name doesn't mean shit to me. The quality the, quality of the camera and the freaking quality of the item itself.
[02:05:06] Bryan Goodwin:
You know how they're gonna get around that. DGL get around that. Right?
[02:05:10] Rich Chelson:
How?
[02:05:11] Bryan Goodwin:
First off, they'll just keep the they'll keep the model number. So they'll make improvements. It'll but just be the 2025 version of the Mavic 2 pro.
[02:05:22] Rich Chelson:
Well, you see, the thing is, though, like like with the Mini 4, unless they put on a brand new camera, they can't. But, but no, you see, that's the thing. I mean, the way I understand it with the bill, any new models. So so in other words, if you change anything and call it the 2025 version, that is considered a new model.
[02:05:48] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. Well, no. It'd be then they won't even add that. They'll just say, you'll just they'll just have some way for people to be able to look at it and go, okay. This is 2025. I know this one's gonna have the more current, chipset.
[02:06:02] Rich Chelson:
Right. Because, you see, I don't I ain't see. That's the thing. It's it's, it's just a fact that drone manufacturers are upset because they didn't keep up because they, they thought people just wanted to fly a drone and, and run around and act a fool. Now people fly drones for real and, you know, drone drone usage in, in the workplace today has has been a big help. Oh, yeah. You know, safety wise and and time wise and everything.
[02:06:45] Bryan Goodwin:
Heck. I mean, they're the the state of, or not the state of California, but the, insurance companies in in, California are actually using drones to see if you've got too much shit too close to your house so they can go off and drop your insurance.
[02:07:01] Rich Chelson:
Really? Yep. That's crazy. Yeah. I mean I mean, the thing is, I would believe that. I I I mean, I just I would. I would flat believe it, you know, and it's sad, though. You you see? That's why that's why I just, you know what? Let me be in my house. Let me run out to the beach. Let me sit by the water. Let me play on my ham radios, and leave me the fuck alone
[02:07:31] Bryan Goodwin:
and get off my lawn.
[02:07:36] Rich Chelson:
And you wonder why I'm grumpy. Well, I know why we're grumpy. Oh, man. I get oh, God. Oh, I I just get, man. It it's it's it's so frustrating because and you know, the funny thing is years ago, I used to be like people are today. Yeah. And and this is what frustrates me because it's like, if I can figure it out, people, it ain't that fucking hard.
[02:08:06] Bryan Goodwin:
No, it's not. It's not hard at all. It's just, it just, again, is do you, I mean, a lot of people find that drama is is a good buffer. And that's what a lot of people use it. I mean, they're always looking because everybody does something because they wanna change how they feel inside.
[02:08:26] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[02:08:26] Bryan Goodwin:
So doing drama gives them a chance to be able to point fingers at somebody else and go, ah, my life ain't near as bad as theirs. Because look at this son of a bitch. They've gone fucked up 10 ways to Sunday, and they can point point to that. And they feel a they feel a little better about themselves because it's drawn their attention away from their words.
[02:08:50] Rich Chelson:
Right. But okay. Okay. On that on that right there, she's she gonna get me wound up again. I know you are. You're you're already you're already getting me wound up. Well, don't get too wound up. We only got 30 minutes left. I know. I know. I I but but no. Like like, with that statement right there, that person who says, oh, oh, look at that son of a bitch. You know, why the hell they do that? They shouldn't do that. It's like, holy. How can they actually say that about that person when when they have no control over that person? I mean and and who's to say that this person's saying the first person's saying the shit is right.
No. I I got you. I I and I What if the other person's right?
[02:09:35] Bryan Goodwin:
Because what it is is they're going off of what their set of directions are. I wouldn't go off and act like that. You're right. You wouldn't. You've had a you've operated off the model that you do this instead of that. Right. That person's operating off of the model that causes them to do that. Now can they change that model? Hell, yeah. You could change the model anytime you want. Yep. And that I mean, again, if we wanna go back hearken back to, as stomach churns sub segment, it's as boyfriend can chain. He doesn't have to be the victim of everybody picking on him. Right. He can actually decide, you know what? They might be telling me all this information to save my ass.
That may also be telling me this this so that they can take advantage of. So I get him I get both sides of why he acts the freaking fool. Right. But the second one is because he's so damn ignorant of family law that he's not going he that he doesn't realize that, one, you don't represent yourself at all in any court system. No. No. Never. That's That makes for really good movie, but that's
[02:11:00] Rich Chelson:
it. Well, no. I mean, actually, I I don't know, but I mean, now now if you've been to law school and passed the bar and are actually a lawyer,
[02:11:10] Bryan Goodwin:
you would still get a lawyer to represent you.
[02:11:14] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Most of them will. I mean, it is possible. People have done it and won. Mostly people lose.
[02:11:24] Bryan Goodwin:
But Yeah. Then they wind up being even worse because of it. Right. But but
[02:11:32] Rich Chelson:
but, see, that's the thing. You know? It's like it's like it sounds like boyfriend is
[02:11:38] Bryan Goodwin:
a major liberal is what it sounds like. No. Not so much a liberal. He is just he hasn't he hasn't had good modeling as to as to what, as to how to behave. Okay. To to say it to say it that way, and that still doesn't sound quite that's not still not quite right. But he hasn't had the modeling of okay. How I mean, when you grew up at a place where, you know, yeah, you've got you're you're in an area of drama. When you have illicit drugs and alcohol involved in a in a, in a family, that family is going to be chaos. Yep. Pure chaos. There is not I mean, my we used to joke that my household was chaotic.
Right. But it wasn't run by chaos. There was a that we where it was an attempt at order. Right. Right. It's just you you had the randomness of children running through the house at random times. You're like, wait. Hey.
[02:12:44] Rich Chelson:
Why do I why is there 7 of you now? So Yeah. It's like, hold it. I had 2. And now I yo. Yeah. When when I was married to my second wife, Robin, I mean, we had, we had her one daughter. And, I mean, good God, one Saturday, I got up. There was 1 kid. And less than 4 hours later, we had 10. I'm like, what the whole town come over to the house.
[02:13:10] Bryan Goodwin:
Who are you? I don't know you. Right. There was,
[02:13:14] Rich Chelson:
there was 1 or 2 kids. I'm like, yo, who are you? You know? And, and it was funny. The kids loved it because of course, they would freaking get me to playing with them, you know? And I mean, I mean, oh, and then if I was home, at least one day, all the kids in town was would be over at the house wanting to play because they was wanting to hang with me. And it's like, guys, I wanna rest. I had to go I had to go jump back in the truck just to get around. Just get some Z's. Yeah. It's like, dang. No. I I mean but, yeah, it is it is funny how how things happen like that. Yep.
[02:13:53] Bryan Goodwin:
So Alright. Well, guys, I wanna say thank y'all very much for listening. We're gonna go ahead, and we're gonna start getting this puppy, landed. And we run this show as a value for value model. We run it off of podcasting 2.0 standards, which means that you have the ability to catch other features that normal podcasting does. Now you may see some shows have have chapters. And, yeah, that's okay. But the there's advantages to podcasting 2.0 chapters that blow the other chapters out of the way. Did you know on podcasting 2.0 chapters, you can actually put a working link? You can actually click a link. Yeah. We, from time to time, will have links to to, news articles that reference something that we're talking about. So you probably will see a a news article in about podcast about, about the night of the 1,000 testicles.
Somewhere on on the show notes for, if you were using a podcasting 2.0 compliant app. Something along the lines of podcast guru or a fountain or something like that. We also have the ability to go live. Now we didn't do it live this time, but there are times that you can actually come in and listen to us, record this show as it's being recorded from 7 o'clock at night on on a Thursday night up until 10 o'clock. So there's a big, big, old swing in there where we will have a just have a good old good old time just talking, and you could actually jump in there. And if with the podcast 2.0 compliant, app, you can actually even send us boostograms and send us comments, and we would reply to those comments as they came in.
So podcasting 2.0, great way, and it's all thanks to value for value. Now one of the great things about value for value is that it's what do you think we're worth? Because some people will go, well, how much should I pay you? I don't know. What do you think we're worth? And then you get to choose, and you get to send. And if it's a little bit, okay, it's a little bit. If it's a whole even lot, it's a whole even lot. And you but the cool thing is is that you get to choose. And you can send us, send us fiat currency through, through PayPal. And if you go to, 2 grumpybets.com, you'll see a tab at the top called value for value. You can click that and be able to go to PayPal and set up a a onetime payment or a recurring payment. They both work just the same, and we would you can leave a message, and we would be receiving that message. We would say thank you very much for that message and for the for the donation.
We are or if you say you're you're a little bit strapped because, you know, this wonderful economy of ours, you wanna be able to help some other way. You want you thank you're grateful for what we do and the the laughs that we bring and the information that we bring forth and all that. And you're like, hey. How can I help out? Maybe you're good at, at doing, doing graphic design so you can start making, make cover art for the, for the chapters. You make chapter art or cover art for the, for the episode. Or maybe you're you would like to go through and set up the the chapters, and you wanna set the break here all the show up for the different chapters and put the, links and stuff that we have for them in.
You could do that too. Just time, talent, and treasure. That's what value for value is. You could donate time, you can donate donate your talent, or you can donate your treasure. And if you have any comments, questions, or wanna know how you can help out, you can send an email over to me. That's circle cast at relaxed mail or not relaxed mail. That's my brian@relaxmail is my my relaxed mail address. But, circle [email protected], and you can, ask whatever questions you like, or you can ask, the dude a question if you want, or you can get a hold of Rich, and that's rchelson. That's [email protected]. And and ask questions there. We both would love to be able to talk with you and answer any questions. And if you have a question that you wanted answered on the show, just let us know. We would love to answer it. We'll we'll tell you what we think. We we would have no problem, dispatch dispensing advice.
May not be good advice, but it's gonna be advice nonetheless. And so we, we have a good time doing that because the show is just guys being guys with each other. We are just being just being 3 friends who've come together just to talk. So we're kind of the 3 heads, 1 brain type of thing. And, and thankfully, dude's got most of the brain because and that's because he keeps his mouth shut most of the time. So he's actually, you know, keeping himself safe from from most, most lawsuits. So while me and Rich were, you know, we're we're stepping out in land mines left, right, and center. So so but we are we're grateful for the time that you've taken. And if you anything about this episode, caused you to laugh, cry, think, groan, whatever it is you wanted to do, go ahead and share it out. Share it on on Facebook.

[02:19:24] Duuude-Ron :
It's a yellow
[02:19:26] Bryan Goodwin:
lemon 8. Lemon, l e m o n, 8. It almost sounds a little sketchy. I don't know what it what that, social media site's about, but I think Yeah. That that sounds sketchy. Because all they need to do is put an e in front of it, and all of a sudden, we're all dead. So so but, yeah, so, Rich, what do you got to say for the, for the for the guys as we close out things out? You know, really,
[02:19:56] Rich Chelson:

You know, that's, that's the second truest statement that's been said tonight. Yeah. We are highly opinionated. So, but yeah, just, just stare this out, tell your friends and, you know, laugh at us, laugh with us, you know,
