Now Yeah. Sounds like you're in a room with nothing on the wall for the paint.  

[00:03:06] Rich Chelson:

Well, now right now, yeah, there's nothing on the fucking walls.   It's driving me up a wall,   actually.   But,   I'm a planning to fix that here as soon as I can talk to my guy, Sweetwater.   But also,   what's funny with this PiedTrak P4,   normally, I can play   I can hear y'all through my headphones.   Not tonight.   I have to go through the speakers   in my laptop.  

[00:03:41] Duuude-Ron :

Technology,   it is a bit.  

[00:03:44] Rich Chelson:

It can be.  

[00:03:46] Duuude-Ron :

That's why I  

[00:03:49] Rich Chelson:

I'll fucking do it. But when it works, dude,  

[00:03:52] Duuude-Ron :

it like I know it works. It is like terribly.  

[00:03:56] Rich Chelson:

It is like fucking getting a boner and and just,   you know, loving life.  

[00:04:03] Duuude-Ron :

TMI, dude. TMI.  

[00:04:07] Rich Chelson:

What? What? You don't love life   Oh, he when you get a boner?  

[00:04:15] Duuude-Ron :

What to do with it?  

[00:04:18] Bryan Goodwin:

That's not my problem, man. If you don't know what to do with owner, I'm you know, that's all on you.   I can't help you out there, brother. Sorry, man. Gonna say, I don't know. I'm still try I'm trying to figure out how you ended up having kids.  

[00:04:37] Rich Chelson:

Oh, this is fucking weird tonight.   This has been a weird fucking day all day, really, to be honest with you. Oh, has it? Oh, god dang. Yeah. It's   I went to Lowe's and got a a medicine cabinet   and   got a few other things that I need.   Wound up over at my storage unit, got my TV,   got my smoker out,   my tools.   I mean, fucking Jeep was packed like shit.   Got my big ham radio out,   and everything. And then   then I went to Biloxi   to the VA and   the,   where you get the eyeglasses   at?   And Oh, yeah. That   Yeah. Because,   my, new pair   well   So you're gonna need at tears,   you know, when when I,   we lost Brian.  

Brian is gone.  

[00:05:49] Duuude-Ron :

Okay.  

[00:05:51] Rich Chelson:

Yeah.  

[00:05:52] Duuude-Ron :

Hey. You know, I saw a show the other day, and you can talk to her. We we can  

[00:05:58] Bryan Goodwin:

continue on the conversation about your eyeglasses. So when Brian gets back on I know. Well, I'm back because that was just weird. I mean, it didn't even   it wasn't even saying trying to connect. It just went and closed everything up. I was like, what the hell?  

[00:06:10] Rich Chelson:

Right. So Yeah. I know. It was weird. But   but but, anyway, I went to the,   get new lenses because,   on at at the tears event when I fell, I scratched one of them, lenses.   And I couldn't wear them. So   so I'm wearing,   an old pair right now, so I've got them coming.   And then I came back and, of course, had to unload the Jeep,   and   I still hadn't had hot water yet. So when I was at Lowe's,   I got all the guts, the thermostat,   the electrodes, everything for   the hot water heater.   Okay.   And and I change those out.   It's like it's just like,   fuck. I wanna stop.  



[00:07:03] Bryan Goodwin:

And and So what's, were you getting power to the,   to the hot water heater at all?  

[00:07:12] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. Oh, yeah. There's Okay. There's power because it, water would kinda be lukewarm. Not really, but Oh,  

[00:07:21] Bryan Goodwin:

I I mean, that's kinda hard to tell if it's if lukewarm because   it's Mississippi, or is it lukewarm because it's actually was trying to warm up? So No. No. It it it would  

[00:07:33] Rich Chelson:

when you turn the hot water on, it would it would,   it would   it would run out cold.   You'd feel   a little warmth for about 2 seconds,   and then it went back to cold and then it kinda warmed back up. But after I changed the   the   heating elements and the thermostats, because I did both. I did everything.   The only thing that's not new is the tank now.   So,   but,   I mean, it, you know, it's, gonna take a while for this,   40 gallons to, you know, get up to a 130 degrees.  

[00:08:12] Bryan Goodwin:

But Oh, you like them warm.  

[00:08:15] Rich Chelson:

I can always add cold, dude. I don't I don't I don't have to go full high, you   know? But   dishes,   my god,   I want it warm. I'm I want it hot.  

[00:08:27] Bryan Goodwin:

You're right.  

[00:08:28] Duuude-Ron :

Well, I think your next option is you get one of those big water   bladders and set it on a teepee   and build a fire up underneath of it.  

[00:08:37] Bryan Goodwin:

That works too. Dude,  

[00:08:40] Rich Chelson:

I found out   with the,   the field tip today, it was a 118   degrees. I think I could set it out for about 30 minutes.  

[00:08:51] Duuude-Ron :

We can.  

[00:08:52] Rich Chelson:

It was it was a it was a touch warm.   A touch  

[00:08:57] Duuude-Ron :

Then, you know, I was when I turned on the TV earlier,   the,   the spectrum understanding always the look. It comes on when I turn it on,   and they're   estimating   that the month of here anyway, the month of August   is gonna be a 100 degrees   ish almost for the whole damn month.   I'm like, damn. I don't wanna fuck you know, I don't I hate the cold,   but I'm really starting to dislike the heat too.  

[00:09:33] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, I was gonna say, I mean, that's I'm sure if you listen to how they phrase it, it's like they're wanting to blame global warming because it's hot. They're completely ignoring the fact that you're in Texas in summer.   Right.   Because because yeah. Oh, no. It never gets a 100 plus degrees several days in a row in middle of in the heart of Texas at all. Never. Never. Never. Never. Yeah. Right. No. No. Yeah. Bullshit.  

[00:10:01] Rich Chelson:

That's like that's like 3 fourths of the summer.   You know?  

[00:10:05] Bryan Goodwin:

Exactly.  

[00:10:06] Rich Chelson:

So yeah. But yeah. I got home and Yeah. I just   drained out water tank and changed those out. So  

[00:10:14] Bryan Goodwin:

Sweet.   Yeah.  

[00:10:17] Rich Chelson:

I'm exhausted now.  

[00:10:20] Duuude-Ron :

Would would it have been would it have been cheaper just to get a new hot water tank?  

[00:10:27] Rich Chelson:

For the thermostats and electrodes, it was $35.  

[00:10:32] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah.  

[00:10:33] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. Okay. Not comparative. Yeah. You're right. Yeah. And that's all that's those are the only working parts of a of a hot water   heater. The only time really you change the hot water heater itself is when it, you know, it starts leaking.   Or you're like me and you have, you have a, element that has gone bad,   and it's and the the calcium has sealed it in.   Uh-huh. And I've had used cheater pipes and people holding it up holding it to get up, trying to get it to break loose.   No. Not doing it. It's like, fuck, dude. We're not we're not gonna do that. So Oh, wow. Yeah. Okay.   We've we've got we've got all we've got water that's so hard. If it gets even just a couple points to,   harder, we're gonna start having gravel coming out of the,   out of the faucets.  

So Yeah.  

[00:11:25] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. No. These I mean, these things aren't bad, really.  

[00:11:29] Duuude-Ron :

Well, at least at that rate,   you'll definitely get rid of the dead skin on the outside of, you know, your body. Oh, yeah. It'll exfoliate  

[00:11:38] Bryan Goodwin:

like like, son of a bitch.  

[00:11:41] Rich Chelson:

Hell, yeah. Like That would not feel good on the boys.   Just saying.   Just saying.   That just Oh, I mean sound like a good time.  

[00:11:51] Bryan Goodwin:

Now but I mean, it's it's so   bad   that we've always battled   leaks in the bathroom   and, on on the front faucet of, of the house.   And I have changed the, I've changed the head out the the the faucet head out a couple three times   because   it it'll eventually   I don't know if it it's it eats away the rubber a little bit at first and enough where it actually kinda   takes off the,   starts eating at the at the, dipe edge of the,   of the faucet. So, you know, no matter how you could change out the rubber, and it still is going to end up leaking a little bit. So I've had   for the most of the time, I just I'll be changing out rubber about once a once a year.  

And in the bathroom,   it   it got to the point where you our cold water   doesn't shut off.   If you if you, if you try to turn it off, it will   it decreases the fall volume of water, but it's just it it's still just kind of a slow trickle out. And I didn't wanna have to go off and tear the wall out.   And so I basically said, fuck this. We're gonna go we're gonna go redneck. Hell.   So I   I got   a I got 2 ball valves.   1 for the one for the shower head,   because this is we got the shower head on there, and one for the main faucet.   And so depending on which one you want, you turn the turn the,   the ball valve on, and then you just turn you then you just manipulate the hot water. You don't even have to worry about touching the cold water. You just turn the hot water all the way on. It's gonna get hot enough for you to where you can it it'll,   you you'll be you'll be nice and warm. And so you can kind of adjust that way. Now it doesn't last all that long, but it, especially in the wintertime,   you wanna take a take a 30 minute shower, you that ain't happening. You're taking a bath.  

Because I mean, well, we have a standpipe. So   it it gets it gets, when it gets cold, like, during the during that big,   frost that we had at 41,   you know, it was   you could hop in there, and you would just   basically, just soak yourself up. Don't try to shampoo your hair. You can get your hair wet if you want. Granted, it's gonna still gonna freeze on you. But, you know, you for you   get your hair wet if you wanted to. But, you know, I mean, it's just basically just rinse yourself off, scrub yourself up, and go. Because what happens is that cold water that was coming off the standpipe   would enter into the tank. And like I said, we've only got one element that's actually doing the job that it's supposed to do. Right.  

And so it's   it takes no time at all. It's like 10 minutes in, all of a sudden you're out of hot water. You're like, oh, shit. Damn it.  

[00:14:55] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. Say I say,   I remember the days when when I was in the military and we had maybe, like, 5 minutes to take shower.  

[00:15:05] Bryan Goodwin:

Uh-huh.  

[00:15:06] Rich Chelson:

When it's like that,   dude, I can be in and out in 4. Just Oh, hell yeah.   I, I might, I might stand there an extra 30 seconds just to soak up that, that half a degree of heat, but Right.   But yeah, you see, that's the thing, you know, it's, it's,   no. Good god. Shut the fuck up. My phone I swear my phone's been going off.   But   I don't know. I'm just I'm   my name says it all today. I'm just freaking grumpy. I'm tired. I'm   sore.   I'm worn out, and I   I'm I'm really planning not to do much of anything tomorrow.  

[00:15:50] Bryan Goodwin:

Nothing. Don't blame  

[00:15:52] Rich Chelson:

you. Nothing.   That's my day.   I'm taking my day.  

[00:15:59] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. Right. We'll see.  

[00:16:04] Rich Chelson:

Come on, dude.   Have a little more faith in me in that, man.   No. Probably so.   You're probably ready. If  

[00:16:14] Duuude-Ron :

you're like me,   like on a Saturday, just fucking sleep till noon.  

[00:16:20] Rich Chelson:

I wish I could.  

[00:16:22] Bryan Goodwin:

Oh my god. I can't do that.  

[00:16:25] Rich Chelson:

Shit. I've been I've been getting up 5:30, 5:45   every morning. And Oh, no. I'm not that crazy. Now don't get crazy here. I mean, I I Not holding it. Hold it. Hold it. I'm not setting an alarm. I'm not trying. I'm trying to take care of anything.   But but it's Okay. So here   go ahead.   But but the thing is, it seems like between 545   and, like, 615, 6 30,   I'm up.   And by God, I'm, I'm up. I'm sitting there. My brain's just cranking. I need to do this, this, this, and this. I forget 3 fourths of shit I thought of while I'm trying to drink my coffee and enjoy it. And goddamn, I gotta poop. So I go poop and then I drink some more coffee and then I'm trying to figure out what I forgot   10 minutes before.  

And then I, yeah, my, yeah, my day goes to shit. So fuck it. I I'll just go and I'll just go and get started.  

[00:17:25] Duuude-Ron :

Then you that's why you need to just after you get done with the the coffee, the smoke, the poop, the coffee,   go the fuck back to bed.   If you have to rock yourself   to sleep with a real   rock, then fucking do that   and sleep till fucking noon.   God damn. Do I have to do I have to think of everything for you?  

[00:17:47] Rich Chelson:

Well, yeah.   Yeah. Because Okay.   Yeah. Because,   Yeah, dude. Because yeah. And yeah. When I'm up, my body says, no. Motherfucker, we up.   We   up.  

[00:18:02] Duuude-Ron :

I can get up, go have a smoke,   make a coffee coffee, have a couple sips of coffee, and take my ass right back out fucking   what the ass for on?  

[00:18:15] Rich Chelson:

Yep.   Yeah.  

[00:18:29] Duuude-Ron :

[00:18:37] Rich Chelson:

Oh,  

[00:18:38] Duuude-Ron :

yeah. I fucking spent   half   half the night, fucking   my mind didn't shut the fuck off   about what was gonna happen   today.  

[00:18:54] Bryan Goodwin:

What happened today?   So what what did they how bad of an ass chewing? Do you lose 5, 10, or £25?  

[00:19:07] Duuude-Ron :

You know,   I didn't really get   per se and ask chewing.   And I and I knew I really knew   that I wasn't going to   because everybody on the conference call,   for   quite some time. They know   me   quite now except for one person,   and this is the first time I've ever met him and or   seen him.   And that was the   fucking regional president.   First time I know him president? Wow.   Yep.   There there is 8 people on that conference call this morning.   The regional   president,   the operations   vice president,   the area operations   manager,   my manager,   HR,   the safety director,   and the safety,   our area safety manager,   and then the assistant plant manager,   and me.  

Nine   people.  

[00:20:20] Rich Chelson:

Air gas is all about big government.  

[00:20:24] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah.  

[00:20:25] Duuude-Ron :

Well and   so they wanted me to explain   the cooler situation.   Okay.   I explained the cooler situation.   And then, of course, everybody has to put their   comments in, you know, and, of course, you know,   to evaluate   more on the back and with the situation. Okay. I ran into a fucking tour. I was in the middle of a goddamn middle lane. Couldn't escape it. Had vehicles on either side of me.   Blah blah blah. So that one went pretty easily. The other one with the fucking side swipe side swipe in another trailer,   you know, that one was like, well, you know, you lost sight of the big picture.   You didn't look back on your mirrors. I'm like, yeah. I already I already told you the all that. You could see it in the video   and all that.  

And so the safety director, he makes his comment at the safety.   Our area safety manager   make his comment. The vice president of operations   makes his comment.   And then the president asked me a couple questions. I'm like, you know,   so I answered his questions.   And   it it went   pretty much the way I knew that the whole meeting was gonna go.   So  

[00:21:55] Bryan Goodwin:

yeah. Okay. And so how's the how'd the meeting go?  

[00:22:04] Duuude-Ron :

I'm still employed.   However, I will have a formal write up, and I lose   my,   bonuses for 2 quarters.  

[00:22:14] Bryan Goodwin:

Okay. Let's let's yeah. What what you were you knew it was gonna happen. So   so what kept you up what kept you up about that last night?  

[00:22:25] Duuude-Ron :

I   don't fucking know. It it's it's one of those that   I'm always   okay.   I will come home at the end of the day, and I will backwards plan my day for tomorrow. And when I get to work, nothing fucking goes anything of what I backwards plan.   However, I do it every night. And it was just   the going over the sequence of events that happened and   why they happened and just that I could not shut my mind off. So I was up fucking half tonight, and  

[00:22:58] Bryan Goodwin:

now I'm just Ruminating over stuff that you'd already ruminated on.  

[00:23:02] Duuude-Ron :

Right? Of course.   Why? Because I can,   and I do.  

[00:23:07] Rich Chelson:

Well Should I? I No. Dude, I I get that, but   it's not serving you, man. It's it I know. It is not helping the dude.  

[00:23:18] Duuude-Ron :

You you're right. And for the last   my whole life, my whole working life,   and well, especially being   becoming an NCO,   I've always   if I'm home, you know, I   I cannot shut off my brain about the aspect of backwards planning my next   day. It's the that's just been my whole life  

[00:23:46] Rich Chelson:

Right. That I've watched. And there's there's nothing wrong with planning your day ahead out. No. No. There isn't. But but at the same time,   if you want a different outcome,   you can do it. You know? It just it's   it's gonna take a while.  

[00:24:03] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. And,   yes, I   had the the situation of the meeting   this morning   yeah. Anyway, that's that's one story. So, yeah, the meeting   went as I as I knew that it was going to go   today   and the outcome.   You know? But it it doesn't change the factor that,   you know,   I lost the fucking trust and respect of these guys because   I had this incident.   Right. You know? And then the vice vice president says no. You didn't fucking lose any any fucking trust and any respect from me.   And this is the vice president.   I'm like, well, I appreciate you saying that.   You know? So,   but anyway,   so that was my day, and I'm just fucking   mentally exhausted. Just, hopefully, I can fucking get some sleep tonight   and sleep all night long. That would be nice. I haven't had one of those in Not long. All night.  



[00:25:07] Rich Chelson:

Oh, not long. Brian. Brian. Brian. Brian, you're not I hope that you know. You're not Lionel Richie, dude.  

[00:25:15] Bryan Goodwin:

But but but I wanna be Lionel.  

[00:25:19] Duuude-Ron :

And ain't none of us can fucking support the fucking damn. So,   you know, that's why I don't sing it, especially in the shower, the fucking herrtiles will fucking just jump off the wall and fucking run out of the bathroom.  

[00:25:33] Bryan Goodwin:

Hey. Have y'all seen that, have y'all seen that that, that,   documentary on on Netflix, the the greatest night of pop?   Nope. No? Oh, that that because it's about, the it's about the the,   the recording of We Are the World   and how all that came about.   And it just you know, the the clashing of egos   and and all that and how everybody did was,   was was,   managing everybody and all that. But it was what was so funny was because Michael Jackson was in there. It was in the in the the, the the group.   And, he would wanna talk he wouldn't wanna talk to talk to Lionel Richie, except he didn't call him Lionel Richie. He always called him Lionel.   Hey, Lionel.

So I don't know. I'm fine. Rich. My wife. Yeah. Go ahead. Go ahead. I I I recommend it. Recommend it. So   yesterday, you were trying to you were gonna tell us about,   your week.  

[00:27:14] Rich Chelson:

Yeah.  

[00:27:16] Bryan Goodwin:

What? Let her let her rip, man. So  

[00:27:20] Rich Chelson:

Well,   well, I mean,   I don't yeah.   Well, yeah. Yeah. I've talked about some of it a little bit, but not much. But, anyway,   that yeah. Closed on my house on Monday,   and,   actually, it was pretty cool because, I didn't have to pay as much closing costs as I thought I was gonna have to. Oh, beautiful. So, yeah, I was I was I was really, really happy about that.   That saved me about $1800.   I'm like, shoot. Really? Wow. Yeah. Wow.   I was expecting 56100   and wound up paying 38.   So   50?   Fuck. Yeah. Totally.  

[00:28:05] Duuude-Ron :

Total closing. Bankers the bankers and the and the secretaries, everybody's gotta get paid. They gotta have their funds to buy. Oh, yeah. Oh, I oh, I know. I just well, I haven't bought a house in 15 plus years, and I don't remember what my closing cost is because I got it all wrapped up in the   in the loan, and   I couldn't tell you how much money it was. But  

[00:28:27] Rich Chelson:

I tried to do that, but, yeah,  

[00:28:29] Bryan Goodwin:

that didn't work for me. Yeah. They tried to do they, we we ended up getting ours ended up getting wrapped in. But there at first, I also ended up almost   just cutting the whole deal off,   there at the last minute because they came along and were like, oh, yeah. Yeah. It's gonna be about   56,   $6,000   or whatever. And this is, you know,   20 years ago.   Mhmm. And I was like, holy shit. Who's who's walking around with 5,000 extra dollars in their pocket? You know?   I was like, no. I don't have the mon that type of money. Can y'all get? Y'all have to find a way to fold it into the into the loan or something? And they were like, well, it's gonna take longer. It's like, I don't care if it takes longer. Right. As long as we get that. You know? As long as we we get this all taken care of, you know, because I'm not gonna be able to pay that.   Yeah. I mean, it took everything for the down payment that we threw down, and there wasn't much of a down payment, but there's a little bit of a down payment.  



[00:29:25] Duuude-Ron :

You know? And, yeah, everybody wants their fucking   dimes, quarters, and pennies, but   goddamn. How many fucking people does it take to fucking   do all the processing on a fucking one house?  

[00:29:39] Rich Chelson:

It takes a lot of people. A lot of people nowadays.  

[00:29:42] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. Everyone wants to be in there so they get their little nickel and dime as you said. It used to be where it was just you got farmer John,   farmer Fred come along, go, hey. I like your house. Oh, alright. Well, I'm fixing to move to the cities.   Want it for this? I'll take it. Alright. There you go. Let's go into the city. We'll sign out the papers, and we're done. And that would be it. You may you may have a nickel for for court filing fees or something, but   it nowadays now now you've gotta the bank's gotta have their fingers in it. They've got their costs.   The the mortgage company charges you is almost like a a lawyer,   law firm, and that they charge you by out a sheet of paper.  

And, I mean, it's stupid shit. It I mean, they you can eat a little bit of this cost and be okay. You're not going to go under. Yeah. And I don't know if they don't see it that way. Oh, there was somebody. Oh, and it  

[00:30:33] Duuude-Ron :

was an advertisement  

[00:30:40] Bryan Goodwin:

for for, for a, for,   some type of, some type of entrepreneur,   course.   But anyhow, if   I'm I don't know what they did what the guy was doing, what he what he was selling, but the what got me and caused me to wanna turn it off because I didn't wanna hear any more of it.   And I start I ended up hitting the x on on Facebook was   we were only 6 months into the year, and I was and I'd only made $2,000,000.   And if I didn't make hit our goal by the end of the year, we were gonna go under. We're gonna go bankrupt. And I was like, oh, holy fucking shit. What are you doing that's   doing at least $4,000,000   in in   yeah, or at least, let's say, $2,000,000.  

Maybe that's what it cost. It you covers 2,000,000   in in, so far. And so you had to make, you know, 4,000,000 to be able to to just break even.   It's like, what are you you're overspending   somewhere, buddy.  

[00:31:39] Rich Chelson:

Or he was just saying greedy.  

[00:31:42] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, I mean, it's probably a lot, like, a lot of the venture capital people.   Mhmm. Yeah. It's I'm sure it's a lot like the other a lot of the the the startup businesses, they get a lot of a lot of cash from venture capital people, and they go off and they buy themselves flashy cars and, you know, $100,000   watches and and and all this other stuff and get a get prime real estate downtown and all this other stuff. And I've been, like, you know, I've I've been, like, oh, you gave me $3,000,000   for the business? Sweet. That'll keep me running for the next 10 years at least. You know? And that's if I that's if I spend recklessly. So  

[00:32:18] Rich Chelson:

Right.  

[00:32:21] Duuude-Ron :

So anyway, Brian go or,   yeah.  

[00:32:25] Bryan Goodwin:

Rich So yeah. I was just like I I heard this guy going off state, and   he was gonna have to go under because he had only made $2,000,000,   and he was and he was only 6 months into the, end of the fiscal year. And I was like, going, you're it's because you don't know how to manage your fucking money, dude. You know? And so I was like, you're if you   I don't know what I don't even wanna know what you think you could try to teach me. So so   Right. Yeah. There's   it's like money is like, you know,   some people just   they get a lot of money and it's great. And granted that when you have a lot of money, your mindset on money   isn't the same.  

Now it's always been a   been a   money is nothing more than a, a tool, but b, a scorecard.   How successful how much value have you given to the world?  

[00:33:19] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah.  

[00:33:20] Bryan Goodwin:

And that's Yeah. And you will get the real value back.   That's how always it's always worked. That's one reason why, you know, Marxist and and communist and, and socialist struggle so hard because they want more value for as little, effort as possible.   So they're they're quite the opposite of what a what a say, a capitalist is. Capitalists will sit there and work to the bone   to to make the profit   and then is pleased with themselves.   But And then and then wants more and then wants more because But they've they've earned they've earned that more so they can go go out and they can make more. They can go out and provide a better service.   But the problem the   problem that they run into is   that,   eventually, they're going to figure out, oh, what and and a lot of these a lot of these these,   Internet marketers that you see come on, and they start advertising   like crazy. They say you got a touch of of Butcher Capital. They had somebody invest in them, give them 4 or $5,000,000,   so they're advertising like crazy.  

I had some guy what was it?   Oh, it was all last week.   I had this dude who was, I can take your podcast to a to a 1000000 downloads in just 2 weeks. Blah blah blah blah. And I was, like, going bullshit,   dude. You cannot if you you prob well, correct. You probably could,   but you're not going to give me real downloads.   You're go if you wanna be able to bring in, you know, 2,000,000, you know, a 1000000 downloads,   I in a within a couple weeks,   you're gonna end up doing bots, and bots don't do me any good. Not to mention, anybody who goes off and tries to take that type of shortcut,   Yeah. Their podcast is probably gonna get a little bit of a boost,   but it's gonna fall off. You're gonna burn yourself out. You're gonna want to try to figure out how do I make more money, make more money, make more money.  

And   you're not going to be able to because podcasts,   unless you're doing, like, what we do, value for value,   you're gonna have to chase   the,   you know, chase the advertisers around.   And that's not gonna do you any good either because all of a sudden, you again, you're going to you're you're gonna censor yourself.   You're not gonna be able to actually talk about the serious issues of maybe talk about sometime. We may have a have an episode where we're just solely talking about suicide.   And if we had advertisers, we wouldn't be able to do that. We would have to start using little off words like delete self deletion and,   and crap like that.  



[00:36:01] Rich Chelson:

That shit's not gonna happen.   And  

[00:36:05] Bryan Goodwin:

because,   Mark, because advertising   agencies and and GARN,   to the the,   the global   advertisers   of,   alliance of responsible media   doesn't want   wants to to have   a a,   a standard of what is allowed and isn't allowed. What is considered, quote, unquote,   brand safe? What's safe for you to be able to listen to? And they've got   they've got AI, you know, companies out there that are going, oh, we can help you do with that. And so if they find anybody   who is talking about some, you know, porn,   they mentioned the word porn. Oh, you're not brand safe. Well, no. I'm talking about   how to get off of porn, how to stop the porn addiction, you know, you know, and all of a sudden, oh, well, you're not brand safe. Oh, no. I'm trying to get guys off of porn. You're right. I'm probably not safe for you, Parker and Gamble.  

You know? But I wouldn't definitely wouldn't be using the Adam and Eve either.   So, a lot of people, sadly, they they follow podcasts. They think podcasting has to be the advertising model, and   the advertising model sucks.   It is no annal.   You can use it as a calling card, which is what my my show, The Raw X Mail. That's what it does.   It is   a calling card for people who are interested in changing their life with their in their marriage.   But if,   but I've had people that come along left, right, and center   going, hey.   I've got a got a great offer. It's ED pills. And it's like, no. Dude, I 1, I don't care about ED pills. 2, if you take listen to what my I what I'm telling you, 90% of all the ED problems a guy has is going to go away.  

Because one, you're not going to be looking at porn.   So you're gonna be rewiring your brain. So you're not gonna be interested in looking at other women. You're gonna be getting a boner for your body.  

[00:38:10] Rich Chelson:

Are you having problems with ed brain?  

[00:38:13] Bryan Goodwin:

I don't. No.   Okay. I I I I I my little soldier still stands upright and tall like a big proud marine.  

[00:38:24] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. What?   No.   What's up, dude? Like a like a big   like a big proud   coast guard man   because you were in the navy.  

[00:38:38] Bryan Goodwin:

I'm in the navy. So but, yeah, we're the marine. We're we're we're the Uber for the marines.  

[00:38:44] Rich Chelson:

So   so but I'm not I'm not touching that one. I am not touching that one.  

[00:38:53] Bryan Goodwin:

Probably smart. So but anyhow, anyhow, I got off off-site tangent. So anyhow, so what what else is going on? So that's for,   the banks, the, the realtors, and and everybody else trying to take the, the buyer out, out to dry.  

[00:39:07] Rich Chelson:

Well, I mean, I got all that done   and got a bottle of champagne for it, which will probably,   remain closed   because I'm not a wine or a champagne drinker. So,   you know, if I still have it and someone comes over, I'll be like, here you go. Merry Christmas.  

[00:39:25] Bryan Goodwin:

What'd you get? A little cold duck?  

[00:39:28] Rich Chelson:

No. No. No. It's   grand spumante or something. I fuck. I don't know.  

[00:39:33] Bryan Goodwin:

Oh,  

[00:39:34] Rich Chelson:

I I know I know I know nothing.   Okay? A.   Yeah.   But, anyway,   so, yeah,   I, yeah, came back over here, unloaded my Jeep, and then I went back to my apartment and I loaded everything in my Jeep, loaded it all up   and   brought it back over here and, and unloaded it. Well,   on my way over here, the first time   I'd stopped by the water company,   paid deposit and all like that, asked them, can   you turn water on? They're like, alright. We do that.   Well, no one told me they did, and I kept checking water, kept checking water.   I didn't have no water.  

And I was like, what the hell? And   finally, about, like, 5 o'clock, days closed for the day. I was like, well, fuck.   I mean, I've got bottled water and stuff like that. It's but, you know, I'm sitting here thinking,   what if I gotta do my business?  

[00:40:35] Bryan Goodwin:

Right. Well You drink coffee eventually, man.  

[00:40:38] Rich Chelson:

Well,   about 11:30, 12 o'clock.   Well, no. Actually, it's a little later than that. It's about 12:30, 1 o'clock in the morning.   Yeah.   I had had a pizza for dinner,   and it decided to do a job on me.   And and  

[00:40:57] Bryan Goodwin:

during all this Cheese didn't the cheese didn't bind anything up like it's supposed to. Oh, no, sir. No, sir.  

[00:41:04] Rich Chelson:

No, sir.   And and   and let me tell you what. In the Pascagoula, Mississippi, there is not much open   at about 1 o'clock in the morning.  

[00:41:15] Bryan Goodwin:

So   they roll they roll the sidewalks.  

[00:41:20] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. A couple gas stations are open. The thing is they lock the bathrooms and don't let nobody in.   I did find one that was open and, oh my god.   Oh, nasty.   Nasty was clean compared to this.   Okay?   I would have loved nasty,   but   I found a way   to take care of business.   Now   now mind you, I had been like, dude here, worrying about   you know?   It's like, why didn't my water get turned on and all like this? Well, the next morning, I get up. I slept like maybe 3 and a half, 4 hours. I didn't get no sleep. I'm fucked tired.   Called water company. And I I mean, I was nice to them because,   you know, something told me, you know, it wasn't their fault.  

Well, she, said, well, I can I can send a girl that did it back out there? She's like, well, we can check, see if it's on our end, or   maybe   she can help you see if it's on   your end.   Okay. Alright. Alright.   They come out and then,   guy comes up talking. And just before they had gotten there,   there's one spigot on the outside of the house   up front.   Right?   K. And if you look right under it   okay.   Here's the dirt. Okay. Here's the dirt. Right? That's the   dirt. It's sitting   right on top of the dirt.   There's a quarter turn valve   that turns the water on and off for the whole fucking house,   and it was turned  

[00:43:07] Bryan Goodwin:

off. So It could've easily been overlooked   and been seen as maybe like a gas valve.  

[00:43:13] Rich Chelson:

Well, no. I well,  

[00:43:17] Duuude-Ron :

you know, it Why do they why is that even  

[00:43:21] Bryan Goodwin:

there?  

[00:43:23] Rich Chelson:

Well, it's well,   okay. On on something like that, you know, what they do is   if, if they need to work on the pipes in the house,   they can cut the water off their working on the pipes   and then cut it back on without having to call the water company because the water company they'll charge you 50, $75100.  

[00:43:44] Bryan Goodwin:

Okay? Water because, for whatever reason, these days, it is actual they it is highly frowned upon for you to shut your own water off at the meter.   Oh, yeah. Oh, no. I know that. I know that. I mean, I mean, immersible, they don't care. I don't because I I go I go to to the meter, and I shut my own water off all the damn time. If I've gotta work on something, I've got a I've got a meter key. I just go over there and turn it off and go in.  

[00:44:10] Duuude-Ron :

So I don't even have a meter key. And my son's have a meter key. I got a fucking little valve,   quarter turn, shuts the fucking water off at the meter.  

[00:44:22] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. Because that's what my that's what my my meter key does.   So but it's but it yeah. It's just   my son was, like, going, dad, what you know, he was out there helping me one day and I went out, shut the water off. He said, dude, you dad, you're not supposed to shut the water off there.   Why not? There's a valve right there. It's like, yeah. But you're No. You get in trouble. It's like, according to who?   You know, if I end up screwing the meter up,   it's on me. They're gonna charge me out for the for the new meter. I get that. If I end up having a leak   after the meter to the house,   that's on me. There's a leak before the meter   from the from the main, from main to the meter, that's all on the city.  

And so that that's the whole reason why they they want you to not touch the meter so that in case you end up doing something that screws up over on their side. Their your side, they they don't give a rat's ass, but their side, if they have to come out and fix the problem, that's all on them. And   so   so it's,   but at the same time,   I mean, where I live, no one I've not ever heard anybody bitch. I mean, I'm sure Dan Dan, the city manager, would love to bitch about it if you ever heard about me doing it.   And I'm sure he would love to threaten me within an inch of my financial abilities,   if he whether I was doing it. But you know what? I'm still gonna do it because, fuck, I don't care what Dan thinks.  



[00:45:49] Duuude-Ron :

Right. That's what I'm gonna do.  

[00:45:53] Rich Chelson:

Sorry. You just open up the door. Off, and I got it on. And lo and behold, I had water, so I I don't have to run to the gas station at 2 o'clock in the morning and try and Yay.   Find a find a bathroom. So   got that crisis averted and, yeah.   Passed out like at 8 o'clock the next night.   And,   yeah, still   5:30 in the morning, my body's sick. Let's go. We're up.   And say say what? That was   so that was Wednesday.   And   Wednesday, I I really couldn't do much. I was I was just my body just was like, yeah. No, dude.   So the only stovetop?   Oh,   the only thing I did, I went grocery shopping,   and then I waited on the Internet guy.  

And come to find out the, Internet guy   is,   an an army vet   and, everything like that. Me and him got to talking and bullshit and went to school. And   he got me set up on, I can download a 2 gig file in 45 seconds.  

[00:47:13] Bryan Goodwin:

There you go. 45  

[00:47:15] Rich Chelson:

seconds, man. He's like, boom. It's there.   It's like,   you think about it.   It's there. You know?   Right.   So,   I mean, it's it's cool. I haven't tried the streaming on it yet because I I'm still   I'm still all freaking discombobulated   trying to get things set up.   But because, last night, after our call last night,   I fucking stayed up till about 12:31   o'clock,   talking on AM radio,   talked to talked to Italy and Spain.   So  

[00:47:54] Bryan Goodwin:

so, yeah, it was So how is that the good time for the good segment of,   of Rich Sam Samich? So what, what have you been   so talking to talking to Spain,   doing a little Italiano.   So  

[00:48:08] Rich Chelson:

Well,   you're the one that speaks Italiano.   I just speak privately.   Italiano.   But   but, no,   I had gotten I had gotten my g ninety,   which was the new radio. It's a little 20 watt radio. And I freaking took it out to POTA with me   and,   oh, damn. I had a lot of fun   straight out the box.   I mean, literally, I brought I brought it in the fucking box, pulled it out,  

[00:48:45] Bryan Goodwin:

plugged it in. Give it a proper warm up,  

[00:48:48] Rich Chelson:

Not really.   And   just   adjusted a couple settings, checked another couple settings   and made like what? 13, 14 contacts   without even hardly trying. I were like, hell yeah. And, and I was getting a lot of Pennsylvania,   Minnesota,   Michigan, Indiana, Ohio,   Kentucky,   Tennessee   and everything. It was just, oh man,   I'm freaking loving it. And then Sunday I went back out again   with that same little radio.   And, actually the contacts that I made last night   was on that radio. So yeah, I used 20 Watts and talked to Italy   And then, nice.   And then Spain too. Spain was dude lived in Northern Spain.  

But,   but yeah. No. It just this this, freaking little radio is just I mean,   Ed just sits there and hums along. Doesn't hardly pull any power or nothing.   And, yeah, wiring   20 watts. I'm good.   So and I've got Cool beats.   Yeah. I've got another radio coming. Remember that radio?   What's that, dude?  

[00:50:09] Duuude-Ron :

No. Go ahead. You had another radio what?  

[00:50:12] Rich Chelson:

It's   it's coming. It should be here by Saturday,   but   hang on. Hang on. You brought another one? Yeah. Yeah. Hold on. Hold on. Well, he had $1800  

[00:50:23] Bryan Goodwin:

left over. He had to do something with it.  

[00:50:26] Rich Chelson:

Oh, trust me. I've done blown through that, dude.   I've paid bills, though. I've paid bills too. But, no, remember that,   that one radio   that   that I had told you about that I'd been looking for for, like, 17 years?  

[00:50:44] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.  

[00:50:46] Rich Chelson:

I've found 1.   I finally fucking found 1 on eBay,   and I jumped dead all up in its ass, and it'll be here Saturday.   And it's and it's  

[00:50:59] Duuude-Ron :

So let me get this let me get this straight now. Uh-huh. We've been talking   about ham radios   and Rich's   ham sandwich   now for quite some time. So how many radios   do you have you acquired now?  

[00:51:16] Rich Chelson:

Well,   currently, as of right now,   in my house with me, I only have 2.   I have one more in storage jet that I have to get out, and I have one more coming Saturday, so I will have 4 radios.  

[00:51:32] Duuude-Ron :

Okay. So you're gonna have 4 radios? Yep. So and the 1 the 20 amp radio that you were talking   on today and yesterday.   Mhmm. You're reaching all the way to Spain, halfway around the world.  

[00:51:47] Unknown:

Mhmm.  

[00:51:48] Duuude-Ron :

What do you wanna do?   Get a conversation   proven all the way around the worlds that you're talking to yourself?  

[00:51:57] Rich Chelson:

Yes. Actually,   there there is a possibility   of a chance   of being able to send a signal, go all the way around the world and you can hear your own signal.   So, yes, I I I would love to do that.   That would be, like, really fucking cool.  

[00:52:18] Duuude-Ron :

Okay.  

[00:52:19] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. No. It that's that's called the long path,   long path communication   and,   the, conditions that, you know, has to be right. But, yeah, you can hear basically an echo,   you know, if everything's set right. It doesn't happen very often, but   but,   yeah.  

[00:52:43] Duuude-Ron :

It can happen. You got you got 4 radios now.   Yep. You're probably gonna get at least   2 more.   No. What is what is your overall goal   with all these radios?  

[00:52:57] Rich Chelson:

Well, my overall goal is 1,   because   I've got a 10 watt radio, a 20 watt radio, and I'm gonna have 200 watt radios.   And   I, I already have 2 antennas set up in my backyard   and I'm going to wind up adding 2 more.   Well, one will be added probably   next week.   And then the last one, it'll be   another couple months   before I get it   and, set it up. But,   this   I've got options.  

[00:53:38] Duuude-Ron :

Okay. But what is your what is your overall goal?  

[00:53:42] Rich Chelson:

Just to Be able to   make as many contacts as I can. And sometimes   I I, only wanna use 10 watts or,   you know, and and and I can do experience between radios   and antennas and stuff like this. It's just that's why that's why it's a hobby.  

[00:54:03] Duuude-Ron :

Okay. I   you know, I'm just   Oh, you're free.  

[00:54:07] Rich Chelson:

No. No. No, dude. You're fine. I'm not I'm not upset.   I mean and and plus and plus also   my, ultimate go goal is to have my shack, which this 3rd bedroom   is,   will be that, but   I want to have it   the way   I've always dreamed about.   Okay. So and so, yeah, I'll be good. I'll be good for a minute.  

[00:54:36] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. He's gonna have 7 radios and a poster of Christie Brinkley   and and Bo Derek from 10 up on one wall.  

[00:54:45] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. Well, you know, that's a possibility   about the posters.   The 7 radios that don't Do they  

[00:54:54] Duuude-Ron :

even do they even make posters anymore?  

[00:54:58] Rich Chelson:

You know, that's a good question, man.  

[00:55:00] Bryan Goodwin:

I don't know. I haven't been I haven't been a teenage boy in in in in 40 years.   So  

[00:55:09] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. Liar. We're all teenage boys. What the hell are you talking about?   But but that's a whole another   that's a whole another ball worm.   Yeah. So Yeah. For another conversation for another day.  

[00:55:26] Rich Chelson:

But, yeah, what was funny, you see, on the day I closed, my goal was to get my radio set up,   you know, besides moved in and everything.   And and I achieved that goal.   I got the radio set up, the antenna set up, and all like this. The only thing is the sunspot or or the sun the   we had an exoplanet color flare.   Yeah.   For, like, 2 freaking days, I couldn't do nothing.  

[00:55:54] Duuude-Ron :

I was like, you bastard.   Yeah. Not and not only that, all the, planets were in a line, what was it,   last night, night before, or something like that?  

[00:56:05] Rich Chelson:

Were they?  

[00:56:07] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah.   I didn't know that. Maybe Yeah. All the planets in the solar system were   aligned.   I think it was Tuesday night.   That night, I'll I guess we're having   I didn't go outside and look at it because I'm not in a dark enough spot.   And we had we were supposed to have had one hell of a meteor shower.  

[00:56:32] Bryan Goodwin:

Oh, yeah. The 1st year was going on.  

[00:56:35] Rich Chelson:

Oh, yeah.  

[00:56:37] Duuude-Ron :

A 100 a 100 meteors per hour.  

[00:56:39] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Those those are awesome. And and, dude, even though   even though   you used to have light pollution,  

[00:56:47] Bryan Goodwin:

you might not see a 100 per hour, but you could still see quite a few of them. Yeah. I'd say 3 or 4 within an hour that were brought about to make through the light pollution.  

[00:56:57] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. I didn't I didn't even go outside and look.  

[00:57:00] Rich Chelson:

I didn't either. Oh, yeah. Every year   every year. Well and and you see the thing is, since I have now   moved into this house, next year,   on the last full weekend in June,   okay, which is, Friday and a Saturday into Sunday,   I am gonna operate what is called field day   because it has been 18 fucking years since I've got to do that.   So I'm not gonna day is it?  

[00:57:32] Bryan Goodwin:

So who are you gonna go see? You get go to the museum, or are you gonna go to are you gonna go to the you're going to the amusement park, aren't you? Nope. I love field days.  

[00:57:42] Rich Chelson:

Nope.  

[00:57:42] Duuude-Ron :

I'm gonna What day? What's it called?  

[00:57:45] Rich Chelson:

It's called field day.   Field day. Okay. Yep. And I'm gonna go play ham radio for about 24,   36 straight hours.  

[00:57:56] Bryan Goodwin:

He'll do it for 12 hours and then fall asleep.  

[00:58:01] Rich Chelson:

Well I might take a nap. I might take a nap. But   yeah. No.   No. A field day is to,   well, a couple of things, actually,   is get you prepared and ready just in case,   you know, power goes out, you know, emergency   communication,   stuff like that. You can start upgrade. You know, you and   because you can use a generator, a battery.   You just can't be plugged in to household power.   It has to be on   solar, wind, whatever.   You know?   And,   and then also if you do it like out in public,   it, it helps bring awareness to,   people in the community and, you know, they might be like, hey. What's this? And then,   you know,   you can talk to them about an amateur radio. So Oh, okay. So how many times,  

[00:59:01] Bryan Goodwin:

how many times do you think you get somebody who's out of breath because they're using a treadmill?  

[00:59:08] Rich Chelson:

I I don't know.  

[00:59:10] Bryan Goodwin:

Delta delta alpha   alpha 7 Zulu.   Check.   Tired as hell. I'm checking in.  

[00:59:20] Rich Chelson:

Yeah.   But no. Yeah. You can   you can make contacts   on on, all the,   hand bands in your license class, of course.   Right? Yeah. They yeah. And it's, I mean, it's crazy.   It's   it's basically like a contest weekend,   which which   those will be starting up here soon, and I'm gonna be back into those again.   So because   I I've noticed and   I have to do some research,   but   I've gotta figure out if my wire antenna   is getting a boost with the signal   due to being so close to the ocean.   I don't know if I'm close enough or if I'm too far   or what, but   but with with,   you know, the last couple days. And then, because when I go at the park,   I'm about a half mile away from the Gulf. I'm Right. Here. I'm a half mile away from the Gulf. And it seems like,   well, okay. Last night,   after we jumped off our call, I   I fired up my radio.  

Okay?   And I heard signals   all over the fucking place. Whereas   up north,   when I was living up there,   when it hit dark,   that's   it. It died. Every band died   except for digital.   Yeah. I know. It was weird, but I was that's why that's why I stayed up till about 1 o'clock in the   in the morning   because it's like I'm playing radio.   You know, if the fish are biting, you don't stop fishing.  

[01:01:09] Bryan Goodwin:

Right.  

[01:01:10] Rich Chelson:

Same way with ham radio.   If the signals are running,   you run with the signals.   So but, yeah, and that was   and and that's the thing. It's just I I don't know. It's just   that's my happy place.   Alright. I know I'm a geek. So   Nah.  

[01:01:33] Bryan Goodwin:

Nah. Probably hadn't been playing much,   very much in the way of video games, have you?  

[01:01:38] Rich Chelson:

You've been Yeah. No. Because I just actually got my TV   in my house today.   Right. And it's and it's not even hooked up because I was busy   changing up thermostat and heating elements and not a water heater.  

[01:01:52] Duuude-Ron :

So,  

[01:01:53] Rich Chelson:

no, I have not I have not had a chance.  

[01:01:56] Bryan Goodwin:

Okay. I was just kinda curious as to well, if you're if you're playing any game, what games were you playing? So  

[01:02:03] Rich Chelson:

You know, honestly, I can't remember   what game I played. Oh, I   I play some breakpoint.   A lot of times what I do, because I made a new character, if if   if I don't wanna get into   my stories of,   you know, one of my other games that I,   you know, like the newer ones, like rage or,   you know, what's that other one?  

[01:02:27] Bryan Goodwin:

Cyberpunk.  

[01:02:29] Rich Chelson:

Cyberpunk?   You know, because I know when I jump in those,   those gonna be   3, 4, 5 hours.   Yeah. Okay?   If if if I'm just wanting to jump on and just kill some time just to   whatever,   I would jump over and play some break point because I can play for 20, 30 minutes and be like, okay. I'm done.   You know, that's still fun. I mean, you know,   because   because I went and made a new character.   And so, yeah, I've gotta I've gotta build them back up, you know?   So, yeah, it's just, yeah, sometimes I'll play for 20, 30 minutes,   maybe   maybe an hour.  

Like, yeah. I'm good. Okay.   Alright. You know? Yeah. I've been I  

[01:03:17] Bryan Goodwin:

I was kind of, kind of aimlessly playing couple several different games there for a little bit. I,   just 2 on my 3rd run on Cyberpunk,   but at the same time, I was kinda just   bebopping through it, not do not being completely,   serious on it, but at the same time, just still just loving the whole scene of what cyberpunk is, the story, and all that. But then there's times it's like, well, you know, I've got a whole buttload of other other shows that I wanna or games that I wanna play. So what else can I play?   And so I hop on from time to time. I'll play I still play Quake 2, just I'm working my way through the story. That's that's my that's my my break point,   at the moment. So I can play up to 10 minutes and be, oh, okay. Well, I've killed enough guy. And and enough for all I get for the moment, we're we're we're done.  

But I tried, plan near,   a Tom.  

[01:04:15] Duuude-Ron :

I'll just stick with Galaga.  

[01:04:18] Bryan Goodwin:

Stick with Galaga and,  

[01:04:21] Rich Chelson:

hey. I like that game too. I wish I I wish they'd have it for PS 5.  

[01:04:28] Duuude-Ron :

Again, what was the what was the favorite game you guys you guys are better than I do.   Yeah. Jairus. Jairus. Okay. Yeah. I'll just stay with Jairus.   Yeah. Yeah.  

[01:04:40] Rich Chelson:

So But it's all good too. But go ahead. Yeah. Yeah. Galaga's good. But  

[01:04:44] Bryan Goodwin:

but so I was playing I'd I'd always heard people talk about my game Nier Automata, which is Square Enix game.   And I was like, alright. Well, let's try it. And that was such a hard game to get into. It's like,   it's it's interesting. It's and stuff. It's kind of a it's a post apocalyptic.   The world's been destroyed, and   the humans are living on the moon, but there's robots that are that have overtaken the the earth now, and you're an android that's coming in, and   you're you're fighting,   you're fighting all these different robots and stuff. And but at the same time, the story was just kinda dragging.   And so I played that for, I don't know, several hours. It's just kinda like,   not feeling it. So I tried something different.  

Jedi,   Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order.   And that one's okay. It's a little tough. It's a little a little challenging. And but at the same time, it still just wasn't really scratching an itch. Mhmm. And so I was like, well, I've got,   I've got Far Cry 4, 5, and 6.   So I've got all those that I have yet to actually play because I was kept catching them on on,   on sale, so they were, like, you know, $10 a piece. Oh, yeah.   And so I was like, yeah. Yeah. I was like, let's let's snag that. So I so I've sat down, and I've I'm playing, Far Cry 4 right now, and it's and so far, it's doing a good job. It's keeping me interested.   There's so much shit to do on this damn game. It's almost like cyberpunk where you're just like, you're hitting a spot, hitting a spot, clearing everything out, moving to the next area, clearing it out, moving to the next area, clearing it out. And it's like, oh, yeah. Wait a minute. There's a game out there's a storyline I'm supposed to be progressing on. So it's like, oh, yeah. Let's go back. Well, say say that's why that's why I like  

[01:06:34] Rich Chelson:

you know, some name games is like, yeah. I like to follow the story because, like like, if a game has cut scenes,   you know, I'll watch the cut scene.   Yeah.   You know, some people are like, oh, no. Let's move. Let's move.   No. I wanna watch the cut scene because Yeah. That's that's the story.   Like, well, with,   is it cyberpunk?   Yeah.  

[01:07:00] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. We've got cyberpunk. We've got cyberpunk.  

[01:07:03] Rich Chelson:

You have to watch   the cut scenes   in order to get a couple of the clues.  

[01:07:09] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah.  

[01:07:10] Rich Chelson:

You know, like, like in,   what's his name's bedroom that that, that a thing he had to get   Yeah. Without getting detected, you know? Yeah.   And and then escape and oh, yeah. And the only way you can figure that out is to watch cutscene.  

[01:07:27] Bryan Goodwin:

Right. So and so that's where that's where I'm at. Like if if you like cutscenes, I'm surprised you hadn't gone through, Death Stranding. Because at the end, there is a 2 and a half hour long cutscene.  

[01:07:39] Rich Chelson:

Now that might be a little bit of a problem.  

[01:07:44] Bryan Goodwin:

It was as we fall asleep. And it you it still doesn't explain shit.  

[01:07:49] Rich Chelson:

And is is,   is,   that the one with Daryl  

[01:07:54] Bryan Goodwin:

in it? Yeah. Yeah. I say yeah. Because now If you tried playing it for a little bit, it's Yeah. It's fine. Simulator.  

[01:08:02] Rich Chelson:

I didn't I didn't even get,   like, maybe 30 minutes in and I'm like, I can't do this. I just, I can't,  

[01:08:11] Bryan Goodwin:

you know, I mean Well, it does get faster,   but at the same time, the story   get is   to never,   clears up.   Right. It is just as confusing   and convoluted.   It's a great story   if you if you are taking it for the entertainment value,   but it if you try to apply any type of logic to it,   it's out it's out the window because, I mean,   because Miyazaki is just or I think that's his name. Yeah. No?   Ah, crap. Can't remember. Anyhow, he did Metal Gear Solid stuff. So but anyhow,   the the guy who created it I mean, he's got a lot of I mean, the great the game is great. It's got a lot of great and funny little Easter eggs. Conan O'Brien's in it.   Why?  

Because it's funny. It's funny that all of a sudden you open up go in go to this one little hideout,   out pops Conan O'Brien, and he gives you a he gives you an otter hat that allows you to swim better in the creeks.   Oh my god. Why an otter hat allows you to swim better? Don't know, but it does.   Oh, wow. And it's   and then, I mean, so you had   you had Guillermo del Toro in there in there. He's he plays dead man. And I mean, you've got a lot of big name stars that are in there. Right.   But at at the same time, I mean, you're just like   the story itself is like,   wow. Yeah. Okay. We've got we've got I mean dead ghost whales that are coming around and eat me up. And it's like, what the hell is this about?  



[01:09:55] Rich Chelson:

You're going to a beach that's dead. And You know liver and onions would actually be better than than that game.  

[01:10:02] Bryan Goodwin:

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Nothing is worse than liver and onions. No. Come on. Liver and onions god, though. Good, dude. Oh, god. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm a  

[01:10:13] Rich Chelson:

I'm sorry. What'd you say? Liver and onion's good.  

[01:10:17] Bryan Goodwin:

I love it. I don't know. I was just I can't hear what you say, man.   Oh, somebody I think it sounded like liver and onions is shit, don't you? I mean, if that's what you said, I have to agree. No. So  

[01:10:31] Duuude-Ron :

no. Now I need to somebody need to check their pockets for crack pipe.  

[01:10:36] Bryan Goodwin:

But  

[01:10:40] Duuude-Ron :

no. Hell no.   Hell the hell.  

[01:10:45] Bryan Goodwin:

No. And I'm   I mean, I've and I don't know. I'm not I'm not about to ever try it again. I mean, I I love watched my daughter   when she went off and tried it by accident once. We went to Western Sizzling, and they had liver and onions there. And there was the it was the fried liver, so it looked like it it it looked like   chicken fried steak. And that's what she Yeah. What she thought she got.   And, boy, she got that thing, and she sat down with it. And I I knew what she got the moment she cut through it because she just used her knife and just went sheek   right through it. And I guess she it didn't register with her that she you know, you have to cut a little bit through some of the some of the fat,   but she just sliced right through it, sliced through it again, got a little cut, and she dipped it in her gravy and she put it on her tongue and it left right off her tongue. She set that down and goes, what the hell is that? That is nasty.  

I I could have it laugh about laugh my ass off. I was like, I'll do exactly what she got. I was like, oh, hey. You found liver. She's like, oh my god. That's liver?  

[01:11:46] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. Well,   well, see, the thing is, though, when you fry it like that,   yeah. It ruins it. It's it's not cooked right. Of course, no one's gonna like it.   You, you do,   you, you saute the onion first in butter   and all like this, and then you throw the liver in there when, when the onions have been in there about 5 minutes,   and, and everything all just mails together, and you   you put a little salt and pepper, flip a little salt and pepper, and just cook it all. Oh my god. And then pull it off with some onions.   Oh my   god. Damn. I'm getting hungry. No.  

No. No.   No. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.   No. Guys, you just don't know what's good, man.  

[01:12:35] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, apparently, you don't either.  

[01:12:38] Rich Chelson:

You got it, dude.  

[01:12:40] Duuude-Ron :

Well, unless unless you can agree to fried green tomatoes.  

[01:12:45] Rich Chelson:

Oh, dude. I just had some the other day.   Fuck. I love fried green tomatoes. Oh, I was at I was at I was at the grocery store, and they've got a little hot deli there.   And I I'm like, I ain't eaten yet or nothing. So so they got gizzards and chicken. They got all kind of shit on there. And,   and, what? You don't eat gizzards either?  

[01:13:07] Bryan Goodwin:

Nope. I don't eat Brian. I don't eat chicken hearts. I don't eat chicken liver. I don't chew chicken gizzards  

[01:13:14] Rich Chelson:

because You're not wrong, man.  

[01:13:16] Bryan Goodwin:

No. It's just I don't eat the insides of animals except for the meat. Give me the meat. The meat's good. Anything other than the meat is just  

[01:13:26] Rich Chelson:

no. Do you eat hot dogs, bologna, and all that?  

[01:13:30] Bryan Goodwin:

I don't eat bologna.   I I eat I eat a little hot dogs, bologna. I eat hot dogs. So which is the exact same thing as bologna. I know I know it's And and it's and it's the insides of of and and and it's all the insides. Just saying. I know. I know. Because the hot dogs and bologna are all made of nothing but lips and assholes. I get that.   And And and everything in between. And everything in between. Yeah. And it's and so yeah. But that's one reason why I don't like baloney   is because it's   just the greasiness of it.   Yeah.  

And, actually, I don't eat much in the way of hot dogs. I like   the closest that I I pretty much eat nowadays   is,   which, I mean, it's still the same thing. It's still a process, just different flavorings added to it, but it I like hot links. And a lot and I like just smoked sausage, like, like Holmes,   smoked sausage.   Yeah. Great stuff. I mean, granted, it's fucking $10 for a pack of 6,   which is stupidly insane expensive. I Right. Oh my god. They are so damn good.  

[01:14:37] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. See, we got wood as far as smoked sausage goes down here, we got, like, 15 or 20 different   local Oh, yeah. People. And oh my god, dude. I mean,   it's like,   but £3 is is about 10, $12   for £3.   But   either way, though, I was, I was, I was going through this, this, hot bar and got some gizzards   and a few other things. And and   I saw these things. I asked this lady. I said, I said, are those fried pickles?   She's like, oh, no. Those are fried green tomatoes.   Oh, shit.   I I'm sitting there, you know, loading up on it. I said, it'd been 40 years since I had so.   All hell.  

I I was sitting there munching in the jeep while I driving home. And what's funny,   the grocery store   you know, before when I lived up north, it it it was a minimum 30 minutes   to anywhere, to a grocery store or anything like that. Yeah.   Now it's like 3.  

[01:15:43] Bryan Goodwin:

Literally. 3. Started walking to the store.  

[01:15:47] Rich Chelson:

No.   Fuck no. I ain't walking.  

[01:15:50] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, I I understand not not right now. I mean, it's a 110 degrees. You dive 8 stroke by the time you got to the got to the curb. So, you know  

[01:15:59] Rich Chelson:

Right.   But yeah. No. But yeah. Seriously, it it's it's   I freaking go up my road,   go the light, turn left,   and it's about a half mile down on the left.   So yeah.   I'm so I mean and and Bozo's,   one of my favorite seafood places. I got a pass yet. So   and and the store's right on the other side of Bozos.  

[01:16:25] Bryan Goodwin:

So yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, where do I go? Do I get a food that I can eat for the rest week or do I spend it all on Bozos?   Bozos it is.   Right. Right.  

[01:16:35] Rich Chelson:

Oh, man. But yours   so you were at the hot bar  

[01:16:39] Duuude-Ron :

and they had fried green tomatoes.  

[01:16:41] Rich Chelson:

Yes, sir. They did.   Yes, sir. They did.  

[01:16:45] Bryan Goodwin:

And chicken gizzards and chicken labors, chicken hearts, and other assorted internal   organs above other animals.  

[01:16:53] Duuude-Ron :

What,   type of what's the name of this place?  

[01:16:57] Rich Chelson:

It's called Ramey's.  

[01:16:59] Duuude-Ron :

Okay.  

[01:17:00] Rich Chelson:

And in fact in fact, actually, it was it was,   see, it it was it was originally known as Jerry Lee's.   And,   just across town, there's no grocery store.   It's called Wayne Lee's. Well, they were brothers.   Okay. And Jerry Lee   yeah. Yeah. Wayne Lee only has one store. As far as I know, that's all he's ever had is that one store. Jerry Lee had a couple different stores.   And I guess I guess Jerry Lee wanted to retire   and Ramey's bought them out.   So   so Ramey's owns owns the stores, and Wayne Lee's store is still going. It's still open and going.   But,   but   what's funny,   at this Ramey's grocery store, when you get your   receipt, you know,   you look down look down to everything, see subtotal,   and you see it'll say bible verse   0.00.  

There's a Bible verse at the bottom of, of every receipt.   I had never seen that before in my life. I was like, oh my gosh,   that was cool as crap.  

[01:18:20] Bryan Goodwin:

So but, yeah, that's Must've been a member of of the,   of of   the, of the   oh, what's the name of that damn church now? Something done.   Spit it out. Go on. Spit it out. Let's see here. Let me think let me think. I'm gonna have to so squirrel went berserk.   First self righteous church. So they must have been a member of the First Self righteous church.   You know, I had sleepy little town of Pascagoula.  

[01:18:48] Rich Chelson:

Well, well, well, see what's funny. I haven't found that church yet, but because right up the road at the light,   you know, right turn left or right,   I've got a Methodist church and a Baptist church right behind it.   Literally right on I mean,   you could basically call it   on the same property.   You you've got 2 buildings, a Methodist church and a Baptist church.  

[01:19:15] Bryan Goodwin:

And across the streets, the is is the Catholic church, and every Sunday, it was as they all let out   Not everyone. It's like, what a sad story.   And  

[01:19:31] Rich Chelson:

and you just froze for about 3 fourths of what you just said.   I did not really. Oh, that went bad. Yeah. You you froze it perfectly, and I thought I'm like, he ain't holding that still. He can't hold that still.  

[01:19:45] Duuude-Ron :

Nope.   But, yeah. And and of course, you didn't have the Chinese   freaking whatever tune ready.  

[01:19:53] Rich Chelson:

No, I didn't.   I did not. That was, that was my bad.   Yeah. You slacker. In   fact, I don't I don't think it'd work because I don't think I'm fully hooked up.   Oh,  

[01:20:06] Bryan Goodwin:

slacker. I'm trying to Well, I hear it, but it's real faint.   Okay.  

[01:20:12] Duuude-Ron :

So you got the Methodist church right next to the   Baptist.   Baptist. Right across the street, you have the Catholic.   And above them   is in the   the top residence of the Catholic church is the Lutheran.  

[01:20:31] Bryan Goodwin:

No. I actually I actually Lutherans on the next corner.  

[01:20:36] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. Actually,   actually, across the street is a dance studio   from the Methodist Church.   There's a little dance studio. Dollar General Markets on the other cross street and,  

[01:20:47] Bryan Goodwin:

well, Teeter there. Supposed to have supposed to have the the holy road there. You know? You coulda had the Methodists, the Baptists, the Episcopalians,   the the Pentecostals   are hanging out over on the on the far side. I mean, they're mad at all. I'm good. And and  

[01:21:02] Rich Chelson:

and I can almost bet you right here in Pascagoula,   they've got every   I believe they have every Every donation   possible.   Yep.  

[01:21:12] Bryan Goodwin:

And I bet y'all's donuts, those darn those darn Jehovah Witnesses are still the outcasts sitting out on the edge of town.  

[01:21:20] Rich Chelson:

You know, I have not seen their place yet,   but that's not to say they ain't there.   I don't know though. These,   these people down here,   they probably running Jehovah's Witness out. I got,   I   mean, I mean, come on now.   Come on now. These,   these people down here, they   they fling something   on a freaking Jehovah's Witness.  

[01:21:49] Bryan Goodwin:

Oh, that'd that'd be funny to see. That would be Oh, man. I used to grow I I you know, I always heard people talk about Jehovah Witness. And I grew up next door to 1.   And, I mean, it didn't ever   it's not like they ever came by the house and and   and   had recruits or anything.   But a Sam is   it was   always odd because they'd go to church.   That time we come to church go to church, could see them take off. We and   and we get home at noon.   At about 4 o'clock, they would finally be here. You know? This is like son of a bitch. Goddamn. Y'all go to church all day long. That's holy smokes, man. What's what's up with that?  

[01:22:35] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. There's yeah. They   I I mean, I don't know I don't know I don't know how long their church is, but I know it's a lot longer than normal church.  

[01:22:44] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. It's a lot longer than normal church. I mean, the only other church that I ever met was completely fascinated by   was because I,   had met a girl   once who was a 7th day Adventist.   Mhmm. And it completely   blew my mind   that she goes to church on Saturdays.   Yep. I'm like, what? You go to church Saturdays. Why not Sunday when everybody else goes to church? Because   Saturday is the Sabbath. Like,   okay. But why do you go to church on Saturdays when when everybody else goes on you know? And I was just I I to I don't know. That whole year   after meeting that girl, I studied about Jehovah Witnesses. Apparently, they're an offshoot of Baptists and and   some and things like that. And I was just like   it was like, I don't I I still don't fully understand the reason as to why other than it's the   actual day of Sabbath.  



[01:23:39] Rich Chelson:

Well, hold it. Hold it. Hold it. How do you know it's the actual day of Sabbath when   back during Jesus' time, they did not have our calendar, which is the Gregorian   calendar.   They didn't have it yet.  

[01:23:53] Bryan Goodwin:

Because that's the same that's the same day, on Saturday as when the Jewish   take   They're they're the Sabbath days.   Right. But but but it's saying that's the same. Sunday on Friday to  

[01:24:06] Rich Chelson:

Again,   by the calendar.   By the calendars, they didn't have the calendar we have now.  

[01:24:15] Bryan Goodwin:

So and they you know what? How can They can't get still worked it still worked out to where it you know, they chose a day. I'm sure they just okay. We're gonna start on Sunday, and the it ends on a Saturday, and it just happened to be that Saturday. Right. Right. But the day then. So But see, the thing is, also, the early calendars  

[01:24:34] Rich Chelson:

didn't have all the months. I I think for a while, they only had 10 months in a year.  

[01:24:40] Bryan Goodwin:

No. No. Actually, they had 13. 13th June's.   Months. And the and the Ethiopian calendar still has 13 13 months.  

[01:24:51] Rich Chelson:

Really?  

[01:24:52] Duuude-Ron :

Yep. Why the and why the hell we want don't we have 13   months?   Would make shit so much fucking easier.  

[01:25:00] Bryan Goodwin:

Yep. Because there'd only be 30 days   every single month.  

[01:25:04] Duuude-Ron :

Nope. No. Not 30 days.   28 days.   One moon cycle.   28 days.  

[01:25:16] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. I believe yeah. That's right.  

[01:25:19] Duuude-Ron :

One moon cycle, 28 days.  

[01:25:23] Rich Chelson:

But yeah. See, that's the thing now. You know? And so so this is what I don't get. I I mean,   you know,   you know, why do people say, oh, this happened on this day? Are you sure? Do you have proof?   No. You don't. You're guessing.  

[01:25:39] Duuude-Ron :

They did have proof. Just look at your smartwatch.  

[01:25:45] Bryan Goodwin:

What does that say? Now you take you run that back 300 to 3000 years, and you'll know that it was on this day.  

[01:25:54] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. No. I no. That's I mean, I mean,   I mean, I understand what you're saying, but but, yes, sometimes I   I like to just   play devil's advocate like that because everybody's like, no. No. No. It's on Saturday. It's on Saturday.   How the hell do you actually know?   No one actually knows.   You know? They can only guess.   And, I mean, they can get close. Yes.   You know, I'm not saying, you know, but   but as far as getting spot on,   ask the creator when you meet him. He'll tell you.  

[01:26:34] Bryan Goodwin:

Hey. What day of the week was was the earth made?  

[01:26:38] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. You know, it's like Well, obviously, it was Sunday  

[01:26:43] Bryan Goodwin:

because that's when the sun came out. Hello? I mean,   pshaw.   It started on Sunday.   Made the moon on Monday.  

[01:26:55] Rich Chelson:

But, yeah, see, that's I don't know. It's just it's funny.   I this is just small stuff that that   that freaking goes through my head sometimes,   especially when when we're talking like this,   you know, all all this all this weird stuff pops up into my head.  

[01:27:13] Bryan Goodwin:

Nothing wrong with that. Always good to have weird shit pop in your head.   Makes you good, good conversations.   Well, speaking of weird shit speaking of weird shit, I'm gonna we're we're deviating off the topic here. Okay. Going over to have y'all did y'all catch any of the Australian breakdancing team?  

[01:27:36] Rich Chelson:

No. No. Didn't know all the Aussies had something like that. Well, yeah. The all the metal.  

[01:27:44] Bryan Goodwin:

No. They didn't. Whatever.   Is some   The Australian breakdancing team? No. Well, there's actually one particular person on the breakdancing team. And I've got a link on, at the,   in the, in the show notes.   And, and and,   and, dude, I'll send over you, a link to it so that you can watch it also.   This girl   single and this is actually   at first, it was just a a complete and total shit show. Because when you think hear breakdancing, you're thinking of, like,   the dancing people did on on breakin', the old movie breakin' and boogie nights and things like that. Yeah. Right. Or not boogie nights. Electric Avenue.   Yeah. This girl,   I don't think she's ever breakdanced   or   do anything about breakdancing   ever in her life.  

I don't think she ever saw   electric balloons. I don't think she ever saw anything about,   about breaking   the movie. She's never seen anything about, even Emmanuel   or watched looked up break dancing   on the Internet.   Because this girl came out and was doing just   just the dumbest, stupidest ass boos you'd ever seen.   Really? He was hopping around like a kangaroo. She was bebopping. She was tying her arms up in the deal and doing a little wiggle thing and just,   wallowing around on the floor. Oh my god. Complete total shit show of herself. But the funny thing is is she got she   and, at she got, she got disqualified after the first or she got,   not disqualified,   got cut from the 1st round because she scored   0 points.  



[01:29:36] Rich Chelson:

Oh,   snap.  

[01:29:38] Bryan Goodwin:

Okay. Now that's that's that's all fun. Everybody had a great time making fun and the girl's name is Rachel Gunn.   Okay. And her dancing name or her breakin' name is   Raygun. I mean, you could tell it was like, oh, well, what should I call myself? Well, my name is Rachel, and you can shorten it down to Ray. So I'm a Raygun. You know? You can see that's what she did. Okay.  

[01:30:06] Rich Chelson:

And that's fine.   That would actually be a fine dance name if she could actually break dance   Yeah. And was good at it. I mean, she could pull that whole thing off. And and I mean Right.  

[01:30:20] Bryan Goodwin:

You know? And but now now let's go on ahead and let's make this a lot more interesting.  

[01:30:26] Rich Chelson:

Okay? Oh, please. I'm on Pennsylvania. We're  

[01:30:29] Bryan Goodwin:

this lady went to the Olympics the first time the Olympics ever decided, like, okay. Let's try breaking. Let's see what breakdancing,   does as an Olympics for.   We're gonna try this out. This will be an inaugural run. If it works good, we'll keep it, and we'll we'll keep the roll out we'll start having, the international breakdancing teams come and compete every 4 years.   If it doesn't work, okay. No harm, no foul, we'll get rid of.   This lady   is a professor   of cultural studies   with an emphasis   on break dancing.  

[01:31:13] Rich Chelson:

Look. She is a Yeah. How do I hear you? Fucking professor  

[01:31:16] Bryan Goodwin:

of break dancing at the university   in Australia.  

[01:31:22] Rich Chelson:

Does she know how to break dance?  

[01:31:24] Bryan Goodwin:

No.   Because you've seen them and and hold up. We're getting even so Oh, wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. This is Ray Gun? On to the, this is Ray Gun?   This is Ray Gun. Oh my god. Get out of here.   She's a white chick   and Well, that's fine. I mean, I Well, no no no no no no no no no no no no no no you're gonna hear I'm gonna hear what pillar you are. You're gonna hear more of it. But okay. This white chick  

[01:31:51] Unknown:

hurt  

[01:31:52] Bryan Goodwin:

The Olympics had never done anything break dancing wise. So they Right. Didn't know how to judge on it. So they deferred   the the judging   of who to select for the team   to each each country.   Each country then   was like And Australia was like going, well, I don't know what the What we'll do, mate. Let let's, you know, let's have this, have this guy check it out do it because he was supposed to be a break dancing expert.   Who this a break dancing expert was?   Is her husband.  

[01:32:33] Duuude-Ron :

Mhmm.  

[01:32:34] Bryan Goodwin:

So she got on   because thanks to, a, thanks to nepotism.   So she cheated her way onto onto the breakdance team. Doesn't know shit about breakdancing.  

[01:32:46] Rich Chelson:

Obviously.  

[01:32:48] Bryan Goodwin:

And has ruined   the chances   for breakdancing to actually be on any more,   Olympic,   venues? Because LA is the next place. And they're, like, going, no. That ain't happening.   Right. Right. Because So they leave it to a self entitled   white liberal chick   to ruin it for the minorities.  

[01:33:13] Rich Chelson:

But but you see, though, the thing is, though, think about it, like, like over in LA   or even New York, I mean, breakdancing   started   what we have for dance today,   and and   dancing has evolved.   It it has evolved so much from breakdancing. I mean, it still uses   breakdancing moves a lot of times.   But Oh, yeah. Pretty much so. But   and and the thing is is these these,  

[01:33:45] Bryan Goodwin:

minorities, as you call them, are actually very fucking athletic with some of the acrobats they do. I'm not saying that they're not. I'm just saying that a white chick went off and ruined it Well, in for the for the minorities because now they they're not gonna have the chance to shine on the, Right. On the stage because   But because dip wad said, oh, I know what breakdancing is and  

[01:34:10] Rich Chelson:

fucked it up. But but the thing is, hold it. So   so, basically,   the,   the,   the, Olympic Committee   just set their what? Sights and hopes on on this Reagan   girl?  

[01:34:28] Bryan Goodwin:

No. But the fact that she what it sounds like. I mean Well, yeah. But she made such a laughing stock   of the of the sport   that   the uppity ups of of the Olympic committee were like, wait. We can't have people laughing at at great dancing. We can't be this can't be taken serious now. Now hold it. Now hold it.  

[01:34:51] Rich Chelson:

So   what you're saying is one person ruined it for everybody. Now I know. I no. I I know I know there was talent.   I know there was talent during that competition,   and there was probably some damn good talent.   Yeah. There's a lot of good, really good dances. So so the thing is, why don't you just don't invite her back   in 4 years? People are gonna forget about it.  

[01:35:18] Bryan Goodwin:

Because they can't take it seriously. They they're like, man, we had somebody like that, some freaking bozo. I mean, it wasn't even the case of, like,   what was it? In in,   the 88 Olympics when we had,   Winter Olympics when we had Eagle Eye. That guy who couldn't see   do the long jump   or do the ski jump.   Can they I think it I I just remember Oh, yeah. His nickname was Eagle Eye. I mean, he had, I mean, Coke bottles, and they were I swear they had to been about 2 and a half inches thick. Right.   And he couldn't he was legally blind, but he could just see enough that he knew which direction to point the skis that you to go down the the ski jump.   And, I mean, he didn't he didn't do very good, but at the same time, he was just he was this human interest story.  

He was dedicated   to it,   and this girl didn't even act like she was dedicated to it. Well, obviously not if if  

[01:36:15] Rich Chelson:

if, you know, the girl flopped around like a, like a Like a fish out of water. Yeah. You know?   But but see, that's the thing though, because   some of these other countries,   you know, if they're,   you know, if they're signing up for this, they're actually gonna put forth effort because they realize   this is a competition.   Yeah. You know, and they're gonna try and win for their country, you know, themselves. Absolutely.   And so for the   for the Olympic   Committee to   be that   shallow, which I know they are anyway. I mean You know? I mean, that's not that's not really not opinion is that they are.  

[01:36:59] Bryan Goodwin:

No.  

[01:37:00] Rich Chelson:

They they are very shallow.  

[01:37:02] Bryan Goodwin:

Very, very shallow. I mean, come on. They they they will sue anybody that plays   any of any of the,   tries to well, not even tries to monetize, but they play a a decent amount. Like, if they were to try to play the whole   dance set,   of Ray Gun,   they would get a it the video would be taken down because the Olympic committee would strike that, say no, and try to probably end up trying to sue the person into into oblivion.  

[01:37:36] Rich Chelson:

Really?  

[01:37:37] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. So that's why you get little clips   of of her her of her disastrous stance because   they can't show the whole thing.  

[01:37:46] Rich Chelson:

See, that's just wrong, man. Well, I mean Oh, yeah. You know?   And and and you see the thing is, this is this something else that that actually kinda irks me   is because everyone jumps on the bandwagon.   Yes.   Did the woman do good? Well, I haven't seen the video yet or the clips of the video,   but   I mean, I'm hearing no, she didn't   move on.   You know? Right. I mean, she's the one that made a fool of herself.   That was her choice,   you know, but you know how people are, they're gonna,   oh my God, take to the,   to the, Twitter and the TikTok and   all the other   video,   whatever.  

And just   What?  

[01:38:49] Bryan Goodwin:

Oh, and,   whatever.   Just love that. And,   it's like, what? Come up with a word? Come up with a real a real stinger?   Well, then.  

[01:39:03] Rich Chelson:

Dude, it's late. My I,   my brain got fried. Okay? My my, my I I I got you. I got you. I've got a hard boiled egg up here right now.   Yeah. I no. Yeah. It's it's   so, yeah, actually I'm shocked I'm still,   coherent   enough.   But,   yeah, I don't know. That's just   you know, honestly,   ins   instead of call it   instead of calling it break dancing,   come up with, like, street dancing or, you know, come up with another name   because   make it open   so where it's not just for break dancing, it's for,   you know,   you know, like, like,   because street fighting   is done with dance.  

You know?   Some of it is.   You know, you got your actual shoot them outs and stuff like that, you know, your actual fist and all like that. But   a lot of them,   so as   not to fuck around with the law too much, they had dance offs.   And   the the, freaking   the, freaking the And how much jazz? Decides.  

[01:40:33] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. What was coming in my head, though, was all of West Side Story of, like, the Jets.   Dude. And so I was, like, going,   dude, I think you man, I think you're watching watching the wrong movies and doc that's West Side Story is not the documentary, man. So   Dude. Dude.  

[01:40:53] Rich Chelson:

Come up come up to the latter half of 20th   20 early 21st century, dude.   What size are pretty   low what?   Ben?  

[01:41:07] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, the good one is you have Steven Spielberg did a version of it, here recently, and it's not horrendous. It's not terrible. It's not the best version. But Right.  

[01:41:17] Rich Chelson:

What's the next version? One way   was it was it Paul Newman in it?  

[01:41:23] Bryan Goodwin:

I don't know. Here, I'm gonna go vertical for a bit.  

[01:41:27] Rich Chelson:

Oh my god. You're going vertical. I'm scared. I'm going vertical. Let's go,  

[01:41:31] Bryan Goodwin:

see here.  

[01:41:35] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. I know. I yeah.   I know there's   there's been a lot of,   different versions.  

[01:41:47] Bryan Goodwin:

There's what's that story?   1961 had, 61, it had Natalie Wood,   George,   Jarkins,   Richard,   Bamer,   Russ, Tumbling.   So Simon Oakland,   Benton Glass.   So   everyone knows Natalie Wood. So Yeah. She's the one that played Maria.  

[01:42:18] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. No. That   but yeah. See, that's the thing. You know? That was, like, 1961, and they've they've actually   stepped up a few years.   Yeah. But now you you see, that's the thing. You know? That's where   I mean, honestly,   whoever thought   to,   use those people and not even   check their credentials.   Well well, I mean,   you can say anything you want about yourself, but   like,   okay.   Perform for me.   You know, prove that   you know what you're doing.   They, if, if, if someone would have been smart enough and done that,   they would have figured out really quick.  

[01:43:06] Bryan Goodwin:

Oh, yeah. That this chick was a was a bonehead. Didn't know what the hell she's talking about.  

[01:43:12] Rich Chelson:

And   where'd she   where'd she get her degree at as as a professor of break dancing?  

[01:43:22] Bryan Goodwin:

Now you're gonna make me go vertical again.  

[01:43:28] Rich Chelson:

Well, you know, you you just   this story has just started to bring questions out because it's like   it's like, what college in this world   would would make it to where you could be a professor of break dancing?  

[01:43:47] Bryan Goodwin:

Alright.   That would be she is a lecturer in the department of media   communications, creative arts,   language, and literature at the Macquarie   University Faculty of Arts. Young competed in breaking, in breaking at, the 2 2,000 24 Summer Olympics. Sports debut game, but did not progress past the 1st round for receiving a score of 0.   See here. Dance career. Before learning breakdancing,   Gunn practiced jazz, tap, and ballroom dance.   It repeated in in the later. Her boyfriend, later husband, and break had been break dancing for 10 years, which makes me wonder what his form of break dancing was because, yeah, and encouraged her to try it. She began break dancing in early 2000 tens. When she was in her mid twenties. Gunn paused competing to finish PhD and returned, to competition in 2018.   Gunn breaks under the nickname Rae Gunn, which is sometimes prefixed with the descriptor of b girl as she is coached,   by her husband Samuel Free and said see. Look at that. I mean, she her name last name is Gunn, but she still her she still uses her last name.  

So, I mean, she can't even take her husband's name. And says that, she trains 3 to 4 trains 3 to 4 hours each day.   On what?  

[01:45:09] Rich Chelson:

I've I've got just rude thoughts on that. You know? Yeah. You you know, check this out. Some of the,   some of our generation, the Gen Xs,   that that actually know break dancing   and was doing it before it became popular   are going, Girl, you ain't got shit.  

[01:45:31] Bryan Goodwin:

My left  

[01:45:32] Rich Chelson:

my left pinky   can break dance better than you can.   Oh, I do. Like, I mean, shit. Look at Salt and Pepper. Look at look at everybody from the eighties.   I mean Right. I I mean, fucking break dancing started on the streets of New York before   before any movie was ever made.  

[01:45:52] Bryan Goodwin:

Oh, yeah. No. It'd been around for a while, but   so her inner academics, this is what she researched and her focus on research was   on breakdancing, street dance, hip hop, youth culture, and   and gender and politics.   She's a member of the, the Macquarie University performance and expertise research center. Her teaching spans diverse fields including media, creative industries,   dance music, dance, cultural studies, and work integrating learning. Per hold up. There was oh, yeah. Here it is. Here it is. This is what her her research paper was titled.   The system,   the systems of relay   that doing, in doing cultural studies, experimenting with the body without organs in bee growing practice.  

She also did a that was, March 2016.   I mean, sluttyou hear that, you know, like, what the fuck does that even got to do? God only knows.   Then she did another paper which was Nocturnal Paradox, How Breakdancing Reveals the Potentials of the Night.  

[01:46:57] Rich Chelson:

Oh my god.  

[01:46:59] Bryan Goodwin:

And and And then August, August 18, 2022,   she it's her latest,   research paper and it's where are the b girls at? Politics in,   of n,   parenthesis,   n, visibility   in breaking,   in breaking culture.   Feminist   media studies.   So again, this tells you everything that you need to know about what,   who   who Ray Gun is.   She is a white   white liberal woman   who has destroyed   it. Again, for   Destroyed the opportunity of minorities.   To utilize their words. They she has single handedly destroyed the opportunity of the minorities.  

[01:47:46] Rich Chelson:

Well, hold it. And you can only point a finger at her. Hold it. Hold it. Now now now I've got a high school,   education.   Okay.  

[01:47:55] Bryan Goodwin:

Never went to college.  

[01:47:57] Rich Chelson:

But by just a couple of those papers   that you read the titles of   makes me wonder   just how smart the fucking Olympic committee is because if I would've heard that, I'd have been like, hell no.  

[01:48:12] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, yeah. But you're you're also   but you also realize the Olympic committee  

[01:48:17] Rich Chelson:

is just as liberal as she is. I mean, they're they're the one I knew Yeah. I know. I know that. Brazil. I know that. But still Jesus Christ on his side. Common sense. Common sense, dude.  

[01:48:28] Bryan Goodwin:

And Well, the sad thing is about common sense is common sense isn't common.  

[01:48:33] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. Well, amen.   Amen.   Common sense is not common,   but oh my god, dude.  

[01:48:44] Bryan Goodwin:

So Yeah. I just Hey. You wanna get you really wanna get your, get yourself all wound up?   I even asked your permission this time.  

[01:48:56] Rich Chelson:

You gonna wind me up this late? Good god. I'm at that too.  

[01:49:01] Bryan Goodwin:

What? The   police commissioner   of London   has said   that   anybody,   anywhere in the world,   says anything bad   about the people who are   of of   of of Middle Eastern descent,   he is going to have extradited and prosecuted in London   for hate crimes.  

[01:49:37] Rich Chelson:

Really?  

[01:49:38] Bryan Goodwin:

Really?  

[01:49:39] Rich Chelson:

What's he gonna use? His little nightstick?   I mean, come on now.   I mean, that's that's what some of the memes were. It's like, yeah. You know what? Come on. You know what? We gotta find a way. We we have to find a way to send this video or send this podcast over to this,   what,  

[01:49:58] Bryan Goodwin:

fuckface. Oh, all you have to do is, is, see, I think his name   his last name is Rowe, r o w e. I can't remember his first name because I wanna say Mike Rowe. And that's like, no. No. No. That's dirty job. Oh, no. No. No. No. No. No. But but but the the the police, the police commissioner of London Metropolitan Police I mean, he just looked that up,   and and he's got a he's got a Twitter account.  

[01:50:25] Rich Chelson:

You've got Twitter. I don't I don't have Twitter. You have Twitter.  

[01:50:29] Bryan Goodwin:

I don't Twitter, man. I don't have Twitter. But I am. Uh-huh. So yeah.   I don't do it. Over to him. I could because I've always I've already decided that whenever I start, start up my campaign to just tweak his nose, one of the one of the phrases that I keep I'm gonna keep on using to say win.  

[01:50:47] Rich Chelson:

I mean, I would I would love to see him try and extradite me, you,   dude,   anybody   from the US over to England  

[01:50:56] Bryan Goodwin:

because Because of   I mean because of we said something that might hurt a a a Muslim's   feelings   because they're because what is what's happening over in over in London right now is and this will get me arrested for sure by God, is that   there are and   they had an attack where, where a,   3 girls were stabbed. I think they were killed,   but there were several that were were also slashed   by a   by a   a   an English national,   but he is,   his parents   are immigrants.   So he's a citizen, a natural born citizen,   so to speak, because he was born   in England.  

Right.   But he's, like, 18, 19 years old, and he he went on this on this, on this slashing spur this knife stabbing spree,   which, I mean, I bet you again, if you looked, you probably found out to get on some type of SSRIs.   But a lot of the the but the they're talking about how,   they will they will arrest people if you're talking about the 2 tier policing system   that they're doing, where they   ignore what the,   what the the immigrants are doing,   what the Muslims and and the people from Africa and the Middle East. What all the stuff they're doing, all the grooming that they're they're doing, the the sex,   the   the the the child traf sexual trafficking that they're doing,   if you talk about that, if they you try to point that out,   if you try to point out that they're taking down the the union jack   and putting up the Palestine flag.  

But yet, if you're, from England and you are seen walking around with the English flag, the Union Jack around your neck or something,   you will be arrested. If you're a white white man with the union with the with the English flag   visible,   you will be arrested   for trying to incite violence.  

[01:53:15] Rich Chelson:

That's been a law for a long time   with the Union Jack and and, the English nationals.   Seriously. Because I had talked to him years ago over in England,   and, we were talking about how he was amazed at at how we could fly the American flag anywhere, anyhow,   you know, whatever.   And he said over there and, oh, like I said, this was like 0 7, 0 8. He said that   in order for them to fly the Union Jack,   they would have to ask permission and then pay,   $50 or, well, £50, whatever,   to to fly it for a certain amount of time.   So I, I mean, now that, yeah. You know, and but it's but see, the thing is, okay. I mean, and and folks listening or or watching the video or whatnot,   we're not trying to hate on anybody. What what we're talking about is is the fact that   this stupid motherfucker from over in England thinks he can   basically   rule the whole fucking world   just because   I called someone a raghead or or whatever, you know, or a Haji.  

You know? Those are those are nicknames. That happens. You know? And and   do not let   these liberals say, oh, I I don't say that shit. Bullshit.   They will say it,  

[01:54:49] Bryan Goodwin:

whether to your face or not to your face. They just make sure that there's no there's no microphones around saying Exactly.  

[01:54:55] Rich Chelson:

Exactly. To record it. So so, you know, because I've met I've met   really decent Muslim people.   In fact, I've got a friend.   He's,   I think he's from,   Africa or something.   But but, he's a Muslim.   You know, really nice guy.   Enjoyed working with him when when I was working. I mean, he he was always cool, me and him. And and he knew where I stood.   He knew I was, you know, it was like, I believe in God, dude. He's like, well, I believe in Allah.   Alright. That's cool. And, I mean,   we got along   because, you know, I don't I don't hate. But what I hate is when someone tries to tell me   that I can or cannot do something.  



[01:55:43] Bryan Goodwin:

No. Kiss my ass. Absolutely. That's that's what everybody   the mainly the gen gen xers.   They're the ones who are gonna go, well, okay then. I'm gonna start talking about it. You don't want me to talk about it. That's what I'm exactly gonna do. I'm gonna talk about it, and I'm gonna make sure I hurt your feelings doing it. Right. I will hurt your feelings on purpose.   And then Gen z, Gen y, all these others, they're they're just Oh, yeah. They they the Oh my god. Yeah. It's it's it's funny to to watch,   Gen z   do they've got it's kind of a men thing now to watch Gen z   react to again, we'll bring up bring this guy up again, Eminem,   and his, and his songs when he was first starting.  

And watch them go, oh my god. Oh. Oh. Oh my god. He's   what to say?   You know?  

[01:56:39] Rich Chelson:

Oh my god. Really?   Damn.   They think they think,   M and M's, man. What about what about little Bow Wow or or   Tupac or,   you know,   the, Notorious   BIG? What what about all them boys?   I mean, they do Well, I just melt, man. They would just fucking melt   because, I mean, they   and check this out. I I was looking on Facebook the other day, reading this little article.   They have gone so far   as they blurred out the word   died,  

[01:57:17] Bryan Goodwin:

d I e d. Yeah. Yes. It was Again, that's that that's that toll,   that whole self censorship thing that they're that I was talking about. Porn is not long no longer called porn. You call it corn   because it sounds like it. Yes, sir. Side is self deletion.   Yeah.   Died, dead,   murder, rape. Can't say any of that stuff because that's   that's frowned upon. You're not YouTube will not will not monetize you or will make it very tough to be monetized if you if you say those types of words.  

[01:57:54] Rich Chelson:

You see, that's, that's why, that's why when,   you know, if I put anything out, whether it be   YouTube, whatever, Facebook, or I'm not looking to monetize   because   I'm I'm not gonna be controlled.   And that's that's just a form of control. And the thing is, everybody's rolling   rolling over and taking it up the ass.  

[01:58:18] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. Because they they're like going, well, if I wanna make money, well, again. If you wanna make money, then make money. Get a fucking job.   Well, I mean, you could do it. Get a job. But I mean, also, if you wanna make money doing your doing your show,   value for value. Let your listeners, let your let your audience   decide, hey, I wanna give you $50.   Right. There might be somebody who's only gonna be able to go, oh, man, all I've got all I can afford is $5 this week.   Okay. Fine. Cool. Then they may they may end up having grandma grandma passed away and they give her she ends up willing $2,000,000 to them. It's like, hey, man. I just kinda came into a shit ton of money. Here's $20,000  

[01:58:59] Rich Chelson:

for you just because. I just feel like giving it to you. That's cool. Yeah. But and and you see, that's the thing now. Everybody and and and, you know,   I was, I was talking to Breezy other the other day, and I was also talking to my great nephew, Eli,   just yesterday.   And, and, you know, it's funny.   I love these kids to death. You know   I do. But these kids are basically   based in I mean, they're still say Eli's 10 now. Breezy will be 12 in January. Wow.   They are,   they are still looking towards   YouTube to make money,   you know? And   because they think, they think   they're gonna make so much money. And it's like but what's sad, you know, their kids, that's fine because they will learn when they get older. But there's actually adults   that are starting YouTube channels   that that   think they're gonna make   it big.  



[02:00:05] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. Yeah. There's adults who make YouTube channels who think they're gonna make it big.  

[02:00:10] Rich Chelson:

And the thing is, if you if you look at if you look at a lot of the YouTube,   the the big YouTubers that got   multi millions   of people, subscribers, watch time and all that,   they don't make even enough to live on in a year.  

[02:00:30] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, I mean, when you look at someone like mister Beast,   now if you wanna be able to have millions of people and you wanna be able to show up in your in the algorithms and stuff, you have to feed the algorithm,   which means you have to put out   multiple videos   every day,   and that's   every day. That's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,   and Sunday.  

[02:00:56] Rich Chelson:

Right. Right.  

[02:00:58] Bryan Goodwin:

And that means that you have to you can either set it up to where you're batching it all out.   You know, you batch it. So   Monday is is video day. You've planned out   or Monday is planning day. You plan out what all the the 7 videos that you're gonna make.   Then Tuesday is recording all all 7 of the videos.   Wednesday is cutting the videos.   Thursday is posting the videos.   Friday,   out goes the first video. And then it works through. And so by the time everything comes back around, here comes Monday. That way, you've got Saturday, Sunday off. Here comes Monday. Time to start playing again. Done. Done. Done. Done. Done. And it's a it's a full  

[02:01:41] Rich Chelson:

day job. Oh, yeah. And see, the thing is,   Saturday and Sunday is not really a day off because you're still planning for Monday.  

[02:01:51] Bryan Goodwin:

Because times. Yeah.  

[02:01:52] Rich Chelson:

Trying to sit there for 8, 10, 12 hours and plan 7 days of videos out   and and the content in them and and the wording and all like that. Oh, yeah. It's it's   insane.   But but you see, that's the thing.   And this is what said is, is that adults   cannot   comprehend   the work that it takes to do something like this.  

[02:02:20] Bryan Goodwin:

No. No. Most people will think that it is, oh, you just show up. You do a lot of videos and it's you talk about it, whatever it is you're really passionate about, and then you you put it up there and it's good.   No. It is a lot of fucking good work. It is Yeah. A full time   job. And then when I say a full time job, it's a full time job of a business   you own. So it's not a 40 hour week.   It's not an 80 hour week.  

[02:02:47] Rich Chelson:

It's a 100 hour week if you're lucky. With the in with the insurance taken out,   you know?   Yeah. And, yeah, you don't, you don't get a guaranteed check   because you because YouTube pays out   I'm not sure if they pay out monthly anymore or if they pay out quarterly.  

[02:03:06] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, it depends on how, if how much money you crank out. But again, and then you have to do do all that hard work   for years.   Because mister   Beast mister Beast has been building up to where he's at now for 10 years.  

[02:03:24] Rich Chelson:

Mhmm.  

[02:03:26] Bryan Goodwin:

And it's only the last 5 years, So he actually he's been doing it for about 15 years. And this is just within at about 10 years worth of work, he's finally started catching enough people that he's able to roll into it and start to make some decent money. And that's where he's now able to do, you know, all those   all do all these big giant giveaways.  

[02:03:46] Rich Chelson:

Right. Well, well, look at Joe Rogan.   Joe Rogan Joe. Hit the scene in in being overnight success.  

[02:03:55] Bryan Goodwin:

You know? I mean, hell, he did. He did fear factor for the longest time, and they did that in in warehouses of Skid Row of LA   because they knew they could do it for free, you know, for low very low costs.   Right. Right.   Yeah. And And he he struggled. He's been the he's done the comedian bit. He's been a struggling comedian. He's done stuff and done stuff and done stuff. I mean, it Joe Rogan's been in   the hustle mode for   25, well, 30 years now. Yeah. Because Yeah. Fear factor was in the in the late nineties, early 2000. Yeah.  

[02:04:32] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. It was. Yeah. That's right. It was.   But yeah. No. And saying that's the thing, you know, it's like it's like,   you know, these people need to ask themselves,   are you really willing to put forth that much work for that   that amount of time,   you know, with with no guarantee whatsoever?   Nope. No guarantee whatsoever.  

[02:04:54] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, that's what a lot of people don't realize. It was I mean and that's why so many coaches fail.   Right. And because they're like they they see people talk about, well, I may yeah. I'm you know, I hear Brooke Castillo talk about how she's aiming at making a $100,000,000   a year.  

[02:05:12] Rich Chelson:

Right.  

[02:05:12] Bryan Goodwin:

And she's I think she's gotten to the point now where she's going, yeah. We're not gonna do that no more. We're not gonna aim at 10 a $100,000,000.   I've made $50,000,000.   That's good enough. Me? We're gonna call it there.   And she's she's made to that. So she's been a $50,000,000   a year coach.   Right.   And   she's, she's teaching people how to do it, but so many people still end up thinking that, oh, it's just I get certified and I get to go I I can go off and I can start making a $1,000,000.   And it's no. I'm realizing that real quick. That's no. You don't just go and say, hey. I'm a coach, and everybody starts walking around you. Right.   You've got to sell them the idea of what a coach is. Right. You've gotta sell them why having a coach in your life is a good thing. You gotta sell to them the idea of having you as a coach. And all this is through contact and contact and talking to them and talking to them again and saying hi and how's your mom in them and all this other stuff.  

Right. And then eventually,   you know, may get somebody a month. Yeah. You may get a month in and they go, hey. I I I need a coach. Would you mind being coach?   It may be that they go, yeah. I'm not really interested in having a coach. And then 5 years later, they go, hey. You still doing that coach thing?   Yeah. And you go, yeah.   Alright. Well, how much are you charging these days? And you tell them and they're gonna go, holy shit. Really?   That much? It's like, yeah. Yeah. It's like, well, how much were you whack when you're when you first told me about it? I was about $300.   Damn. I wish I'd done it back then. Alright. Well, let's work over to the $6,000.  

Right. Let's go for a year. And, you know, they'll they'll   they'll realize what value is.   And, yeah, we get a lot of people who have got if you I I on a, subreddit called, called coaching snark.   Just so I can see what some of the objections are or what some of the,   the coaches that are fed up with with the coaching industry.   And there's a lot of them because they go and they expect they're gonna make 1,000,000, and they don't make any, and they fizzle out, and they're go and then they're bitter about the coaching industry because they didn't make they didn't get famous. They didn't make 1,000,000. Right. I was like, well, yeah. Because you didn't put in 1,000,000 of dollars worth of effort into it. Well, in that instance   $21,000   in in for for a coaching certificate, and then after that, you thought it was all gonna land in your lap. And it's not gonna it's not like that. And see this thing, that's where that's where they would've failed as a coach regardless  

[02:07:50] Rich Chelson:

because of their own mindset.   Their own mindset wasn't even in the right place. No. They they weren't willing to coach themselves. No. No. Most of your coaches,   most of your big name coaches,   all I've heard a lot of them say, you have to be willing to serve   others.   Yeah. You gotta get it. No matter what.   No matter what. But but a lot of these people, oh, I can be a coach, make a $100,000 a year, $200,000   or half million or a million a year   right out the gate. No. You can't because   you're focused on the money. Get off the fucking money.   Help people first.  

It was like Zig Zig Zig Ziglar always said, you can have everything you want in life if you'll just help enough other people get what they want. They want. Yep. And he lived by that. And the man was rich beyond measure   in more areas than 1, you   know. And you see, that's the thing. People only look at richness   as a monetary value.   That's it.   90% of the people look at it as a monetary value.   When, if you, if, if you look at your home life, your wife, your kids, you know,   yeah, there's ups and downs, always gonna be ups and downs.   But overall, look at everything. Everybody's alive, healthy, you out of jail, and not in trouble with the law. Guess what?  

You're rich beyond measure.  

[02:09:20] Bryan Goodwin:

Right. And that's that's   that's the thing that they don't realize   is that they are  

[02:09:27] Rich Chelson:

No. They just want that dollar, man. Yeah. They just want that dollar. Yeah.   No, I know. And it is, it's sad that,   that   that a freaking a lot of people are like that. And it's like, you know, it just you gotta just   get out of that mindset.   And some people say, oh, I can't do that. Yeah. You can.   You control   your mind.   I I I I have learned this over the last, what,   good 5, 6 years.   You control your mind,   but a lot of people let their mind control them.   And that's just Absolutely.   And and   when you try and explain it to them, they can't   fully understand it. You know?  

But it it it it's it's a process,   and you fight yourself. Oh my God. You fight yourself.   So I I I I say it's   another soapbox I got on. You got me wound up again.   Oh, yeah. But I mean, but and that's  

[02:10:39] Bryan Goodwin:

but that's the that's the whole   that's the frustrating part is that most of these people, they can get to the,   to their goal. They could get   to where they are successful   in their   in their YouTube channel   Mhmm. If they wanted to.   But they first off, and and it's not a matter of, well, I say I want to. No. You've gotta prove that you want to. Yep.   Because I could say I wanna be a millionaire. I'm not gonna be a millionaire   till I start thinking like a millionaire.   That's just that's just how life works.  

[02:11:21] Rich Chelson:

Well, thinking and then acting. You can   And acting,   which   which means taking steps   to Yeah. To becoming a millionaire.  

[02:11:32] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. You've got you've gotta be able to have   whenever I start thinking like a millionaire, I will start having the ability to bring in a $1,000,000.  

[02:11:41] Rich Chelson:

Right.  

[02:11:42] Bryan Goodwin:

But until that happens,   I'm   aiming at being what a millionaire is.   I'm trying to figure out how do I think and act   like a millionaire.   Until that time, yeah, I'm   you can call me a,   call me a poser if you want. Okay. Well, I'm not running around, you know, renting out Lear Jets   to to to be a to be a poser.   Right. Hell, I I'm I struggled with having my my car. The only car that we have is is broke down or was broke down. We got it fixed finally, but we're now having to pay the pay the mechanic off.   So, you know and   sadly and this this week is was a shit week for   the, for the the hauling   business because I was down all day yesterday with the with the,   the shop trying to change out brakes for whatever reason took 6 hours to do.  

So It shouldn't take 6 hours to get brakes. But it did. I got there at noon. Didn't get, didn't get pulled out until, till a little after 6 o'clock.   Wow.   Yep. I was like, then Brakes are even I went back there to try to figure out what was going on. And every time I'd start heading back to back that direction, I had someone jumped out in front of me going, you can't be back here. You need to go right in the lobby. It's like, I just wanna find out what's up with my truck.  

[02:13:06] Rich Chelson:

It sounds like sounds like they were fucking around then   because Oh, true. Dude,   dude, I've changed   I've changed all the brakes on a truck   in a shop before.   Okay? Max of 3 hours. And, I mean, I would set up each brake station   Yeah. Before I ever pulled the tires off. And I'd pull the duals on as as one, or I'd pull tires separate, but I love to pull them as as a set.   Pull them off,   pop, pull them off, pop. I'd pull everything off, knock all the brakes off, and then   open the stop box skids,   slap them back together. Boom,   slap tired back on, tighten them up, dude, minimum   or max 3 hours I'm out.  

Yeah. You know, it's, it's not hard.  

[02:13:57] Bryan Goodwin:

It's not hard. No. And it and that's what I was kinda telling, telling our the guy who's,   who's over, over the,   the the maintenance,   because I I I asked him. I was like, so when would you like for me to swing by the by our shop to have him done? He's like, well, well, next time you go into Oklahoma City, just swing by a Freightliner and let them know. I was like,   okay. And so went over there thinking   and he he talked to him. I was like, oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, it won't take you it'd take a couple 3 hours.   You know, about 3 hours like you like you were saying. And I was like, yeah. I figured about 3 hours. Alright. That'll be good. I get there, get down at 3. I can still get over to,   over to to Duke, pick up the load that I need to pick up, and then head in Shagas and get close to, Dallas so that I could have offloaded today and gone and grabbed another load Friday.  

Well,   about, 5:45, I   texted the guy and I go, think it would've been easier if we'd had Donnie just pull everything off and and do it do it himself. And he's like, why? Are you still still over there at Praliner? I was like, yep. He's like, what the hell? It's like, I don't know. Every time I try to go back there, I get barked at. So I I'm sitting I'm sitting here in the lobby just   just waiting for them to call my name. So  

[02:15:11] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. No. They was they was fucking around, dude. That's just what it was. They was fucking around.  

[02:15:17] Bryan Goodwin:

So but   that's a   so, yeah, yesterday,   I've still getting my my good   5 loads that I was hoping to get out. I've only get   4 see,   got   Duke to,   Tyler,   Corgan   to,   yeah, Corgan to,   to Fox,   Fletcher Fox, and yesterday, I sat on my ass all day.   And then today I've got, got Dallas, so I'll be delivering Dallas tomorrow morning, which is Friday, which means that's the end of the day. So, yeah. I had a whole whopping 4 loads and   maybe made $800.   So Wow.  

[02:16:04] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. See, that's  

[02:16:06] Bryan Goodwin:

That's a rough one, but it they happen from time to time. Yeah. And, I mean, that's that's trucking.   You know? Yep. Of course.   Our my friend, John, he,   he he found out how to get my get my my engine revved.   So   he got me wound up. He's like, yeah. Yeah. We're   I was, talking to, talking to one of the owners, and they're actually looking at, trying a different broker. And so my looks like we may be heading down to,   heading grabbing a load of sheetrock, going down to going down to Houston, dropping that off, picking up, a stack of pipe, and taking it over to West Texas, and then rinse and repeat. And I'm, like, going,   if I have to go to a,   go to   a to a oilfield site, I'm a be pissed off   because I'm not wearing fucking, steel toe boots. I refuse to wear steel toe boots. I'm not wear spending 300 fucking dollars on a pair of steel toe boots that I don't care to wear. Right. Too heavy, too hot, and I'm not putting on a damn damn and I started just getting I was like, first,   second.  

No. You know, I was getting I was getting all sorts of wind up. And he was like going, damn, I never heard you get all angry. It's like, yeah. I can't stand the fucking oil field. Right.  

[02:17:29] Rich Chelson:

I  

[02:17:34] Bryan Goodwin:

beats   with a purple passion,   the oil field.   That you make a lot of money. I'll give you that. You can make a lot of money in the oil field. Right. You also   lose a fucking shit ton of money in the oil field.   Yeah. And no one's in a damn hurry.   So you get there. You waste half your damn time damn clock   waiting for someone to finally pull their thumb out of their ass and go, oh, yeah.   And then they come along, and while you're sitting in there, they're gonna someone's gonna beat on your door and go, hey. You don't have any of your f r's on. You didn't put your f r's on. Put your hard hat on too. It's like, I'm inside the fucking truck, dickhead.   So   these were all conversations I've had too. And that was insane.  



[02:18:20] Rich Chelson:

That's like railroad cars. A lot of times,   you know, when you go to rail yards, because   I used to deliver steel to,   where they built actual train cars.   Oh, okay. Like this. And,   a lot of times,   you were at their mercy.   I mean,   they were generally nice, but you're right. They don't get in a hurry   for nothing. You don't, you don't try and plan me anything,   you know? Yeah.   You know, if you've got 11 o'clock appointment, you might get out at 3:30.   Might. Right.   You know? So it's like, it's like,   I mean, normally,   normally when I'd go to a, a rail yard like that,   I was close to home, so I would just shoot shoot straight to the house. Right. But there was once or twice,   a loaded,   frogs,   which is a,   part of the switching track.  

Right? Yeah. Yeah. And,   I had those, and I had   sections of 20 foot rail on   and everything.   And,   now   that old boy that loaded me was actually he was real nice.   Got me done fairly quick. I got out, got strapped, got out,   and took it over to,   God, it was over in Virginia. I think it was over by Roanoke.   And,   there I wound up sitting about 2, 3 hours. And I was like, hi.   I got hey. I had my coffee. I had my snacks. I'm good.  

[02:20:01] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. You know? And and and it doesn't bother me to have to sit and wait.   But the thing like I said,   because I and I know that   $300 for a pair of, pair of Steel Toasts is is   comparably high.   Mhmm. But I've had a pair of $300 Red Wing boots,   steel toe boots, and those that damn things last me 6 years  

[02:20:26] Rich Chelson:

Right.  

[02:20:27] Bryan Goodwin:

Before they just   finally decided, okay. I'm too old. The the everything started cracking and and water getting in everywhere,   and I had to swap out.   And   I went and that's the time we were in a in a downstern on in the oil field, so I couldn't afford that. So we ended up trying several different things. I tried some,   steel toed shoes, and   they lasted maybe, you know,   6 months. And then they were falling apart. They were shit. I've tried Brahma steel toed,   boots, and those are okay. But again, they only last about 6 to 9 months.   Mhmm. And, yeah, they're cheaper. You're talking 40 to $60.  

But you're getting 40 to $60 worth of worth of use out of them. So the first time you go you you,   you're doing something, you're gonna find out, oh, wait a minute. These are shitty   these are shitty quality. Granted, they they get you out in out of a pen.   You don't have to worry about walking around with those steel tennis shoe covers.   Right.   But at the same time, they're, you know, they're they're   unless you're willing to fork over for the Red Wings,   And I'm a I'm I'll bet I'm a red wing fan. I like red wings. They last a long while. Right. But at the same time, you're paying for that long while. Yeah. But but but think about it, though. $300  

[02:21:58] Rich Chelson:

over 6 years, that's only $50 a year, dude. Yeah. So so so, actually, it was it was a very economical pair of shoes. And, I mean, I've had very,   steel toed boots, and I freaking   loved them. And,   I was actually   real happy because I didn't have to pay for them. My company bought them for me.   I'm like, sign me up. And, but, but the fit on them and, and the way they wore and worked out,   it's like, yeah, man. What I mean, why would you get anything different?   Right. You know? I mean, now now   there there are a few other companies because   shortly after I started with USAC,   they would buy you one pair of boots a year   from Red Wing.  

And,   and I think it was my second   and third year,   they switched to O R Safety,   o r r, Safety. And, Never heard of them. They yeah. They,   they sold boots, but they didn't have red wings. They had, Timberlands and all these others and  

[02:23:07] Bryan Goodwin:

really, Timberland does did did safety boots,  

[02:23:11] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. Yeah.   Yeah. Timberland did. And,   I tried to set at Timberlands, and   I didn't like them, man. I I really did. I mean, I wore them because,   you know, I   because they're you have to order them online.   Nice people. You know, I called them, talked to them. They're real nice people and shipped quick and all like that. It was great. Handled the payment and everything.   And,   but I just I just didn't like the boot   because Yeah. They didn't you know, I I was walking in ditches all day every day. They didn't hold up for me.  

[02:23:51] Bryan Goodwin:

No.   No. Not nor and that I'm I've   worn Timberlands also. I'm not not a safety shoes, but just their hiking boots.  

[02:24:00] Rich Chelson:

Yeah.  

[02:24:01] Bryan Goodwin:

And, I mean, yeah, they okay. They're not bad.   I'm I was not a big fan of Timberlands   at that time either. I mean, I I just happened to have the I was an idiot. I happened to have enough money to be able to afford a pair. So go ahead. You   deserve these.   The hell did I buy these damn things for? You know? Right. By the time I'd already got enough miles on, I could return them. So I was like,   fuck. Alright. Well, let's just beat our feet up.   Got more blisters off those darn things than I had any other   shoe or poop in my life.  

[02:24:36] Rich Chelson:

Right.   And see, that's the thing. I always, I always hated shopping for   freaking boots.   I would, I would, I would wear my boots out until I was walking out of them. And then I duct tape them just to keep from having to go because I hate I, I, I don't like buying shoes. I fucking hate it,   you know, because it's like, you got all these different choices, you got all this and that, and it's like,   just tell me what to pick and I get it. You know? Yeah. I hate,   I,   I, some things I'm fine and choosing and other things, not so much.   You know, I was just, I just know it's like, no, just tell me what I'm going to get. Tell me how much it is. Here's my card.  



[02:25:26] Bryan Goodwin:

There's your card. I'm happy.  

[02:25:29] Rich Chelson:

Oh, no. Everywhere. Everyone like like Burger King. Oh, wait. Hang on. Now now   I don't do it every morning. Okay?   But if I wind up getting out out of the house early enough,   you know, because normally I don't eat till   later in the morning or noon, actually. And   but but some mornings, I I get hungry   and   I'd left the house and it's like, I love the eggnormous burrito   from Burger King.   Okay?  

[02:26:05] Bryan Goodwin:

K.  

[02:26:07] Rich Chelson:

I used to drive up.   I order an eggnormous burrito.   I did not know they had, like, 4 or 5 different variations   until one day when I ordered the eggnormous burrito   meal.   And the lady was like, do you want sausage?   Sausage and bacon? Ham?   Ham and sausage. Ham and but I said,   don't you just got a damn burrito?  

[02:26:33] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, yeah. Which burrito? Which one of those damn ones? I was like I was like,  

[02:26:39] Rich Chelson:

no. I'm like, no. It's   too early in a fucking morning for me to make those kind of decisions.   Oh, hell no.   And and so,   and and then it was like, I don't know, week or 2 later, I go back to there.   And,   the girl asked me, another girl asked me same 4 or 5 different combinations.   I told her on the, on the speaker, I said, honey, just pick,   I don't care. Just pick. And now   when I go back to this Burger King,   I roll roll up. They don't even ask. They just   tell me how much it is, which I already know how much it is. And they're like, second window place. Thank you, honey. I appreciate that.   I love it, you know, because   I roll up, I order my egg Norma's burrito.  

And normally, by that time, I get a sweet tea or an unsweet tea. Sometimes a coffee,   Burger King coffee isn't that great, but No. It's not. And that's not It's almost terrible as McDonald's coffee.   Almost, but not quite. I can I can tolerate Burger King better than I can McDonald's?  

[02:27:47] Bryan Goodwin:

McDonald's.   Yeah. But  

[02:27:50] Rich Chelson:

but yeah. No. And instead of asking me all those fucking questions,   it's like,   I got you.   Alright. I mean, I I because that's the thing. I just want I just want the burrito. I want what I want. I want the burrito and the and the and the tater tots. Add the sausage, the bacon, and then just whatever else you want on there. I don't care. Yeah. I I don't care. Just as long as there's meat, cheese, and eggs on it, by god, give it to me. I'm getting nay Dan. We got a winner.  

[02:28:20] Bryan Goodwin:

Right?  

[02:28:22] Rich Chelson:

That's for sure. I know. But

[02:29:03] Bryan Goodwin:

It sounds like diarrhea.   Hey, Rick. The runza, man. I've gotta go.   Rich,  

[02:29:11] Unknown:

you've heard of a runza. Right?  

[02:29:13] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. Yeah. You've had a runza?  

[02:29:18] Rich Chelson:

If I have, I can't remember. It's because it wasn't very   Well, no. It was it was it was 94, 95 when I lived in Nebraska.   So,   yeah, I've heard of runs,   but,  

[02:29:36] Duuude-Ron :

that that that's that's some good food.   I shouldn't have thrown that one out at you guys because you're like, what the fuck? Yeah. I'm like, oh, Brian was. Yeah. Hey, dude. Brian was. Start to educate me. What is a runza?  

[02:29:51] Rich Chelson:

I caught it because,   well, I   lived in Nebraska for a couple years   and around Grand Island there, and they had 1 or 2.   So so I knew I I knew what it was.  

[02:30:05] Duuude-Ron :

Okay. So It's hamburger describe it. Hamburger,   cabbage,   and then they have,   you know,   variances. They have a cheese runs up, pizza runs up   Mhmm. Plain runs up.   But it's it's like a huge   pizza pocket,   but it's hamburger and cabbage.   And that's the only fucking   It's a beer. It's a beer. Okay.  

[02:30:34] Bryan Goodwin:

We call we call those bureaus.   Basically, it looks like kinda like a,   like a giant giant pocket. It's just bread that's   that's wrapped around   hamburger and and   cabbage and onion.  

[02:30:51] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. That's that's what these are.  

[02:30:54] Bryan Goodwin:

I haven't had one in years. They're called runs as I've always heard them called bureauses.  

[02:30:59] Rich Chelson:

Well No. Brian,   you have to understand,   Nebraska is Western Yankee country.  

[02:31:08] Bryan Goodwin:

I know Nebraska doesn't have any hills. So yeah. Yeah. Western Western Yankee 81 until you get in the Panhandle.  

[02:31:16] Duuude-Ron :

Flat. Yeah. Flat. And then Flat. You can you can   yeah. You can see   if you squint real hard away for 4 years.  

[02:31:26] Bryan Goodwin:

For 4. For 2 weeks. Yeah.  

[02:31:29] Duuude-Ron :

Just like   Kansas,   Oklahoma,   if you squint real hard,   you're able to see tomorrow   Yeah. In the variety down the road.  

[02:31:40] Rich Chelson:

Let's just say this.   A girl or a guy with an 8 cup for a boob has more heels than Nebraska does. Yep.  

[02:31:50] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. I'll give you that.  

[02:31:54] Rich Chelson:

That is I mean, I mean, I you know, Kansas,   if you cross over at the,   on, on the Kansas City side, on, on the Missouri side,   believe it or not, they've, they've got a few little rolling hills. And then once you get past   pretty much Manhattan and come down into Fort Riley,   it's flat all the way the hell out towards,   Denver.   Then you start, like, I mean, gradually   climbing   when you get out to Lyman,   Colorado.  

[02:32:29] Duuude-Ron :

So Yeah. That's the same way with the Panhandle in Nebraska. It's just rolling hill. And then once you get to McAllen, Colorado, you're actually getting into the mountains. Yeah? Yep. Because I I I'm I'm used to used to actually was trying to get be a,  

[02:32:45] Bryan Goodwin:

well, I actually got the job to be the computer systems analyst or computer network,   network supervisor  

[02:32:53] Duuude-Ron :

is actually what it would ended up being  

[02:32:55] Bryan Goodwin:

for a, for the,   Farmers Cooperative   in, in Kimball, Nebraska.   And so we from Scottsbluff   all the way over to Sydney, Nebraska.   There's a stretch of, of elevators and stuff that, that is supposed to be taken care of their their computers and stuff.   Well, whenever I was that's, that's whenever I realized there ain't shit in Nebraska because we went, did the interview,   got the, got the job offer, all that. And it's like, alright. Sweet. Well, let's go and hit let's   and I said I was gonna head east through Nebraska just to see what Nebraska was about   until I hit the 1st north south interstate, which is not in Nebraska.  

Right.   That you don't have a north south interstate in Nebraska. You have a   east west,   but   other than that, yeah. I drove all the way fucking across fucking Nebraska   until we got until we got to Des Moines   and ran into I 35.   Like, fucking hell, man.  

[02:34:00] Rich Chelson:

You missed I 29, dude.   I 29 would've taken me to Kansas City.  

[02:34:06] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, that might have been where we're getting it up. I know I just know that we ended up going until at from one end of Nebraska   all the way the fuck to the opposite side of the damn state.   Yep.   Looking for a north south interstate thing, there'll be one in there. This is,   boys and girls,   this was before   we had smartphones.   And you said This is before we could afford flip phone. Okay.   I I didn't actually get my first actual cellular phone   until   2,008.   No. No.   Before that, they were still in in Schlumberger's.   Yeah. Yeah. It'd been about 2,008.  

It was when I got my first phone.   And it was   it was it wasn't that, you know, wasn't all that, nor was there a bag of chips included. It was just a phone. You could do some you could do some rudimentary texting by hitting,   you know, you could go to e by hitting 2, 3 times.   So, you know, it was   it was it was a pain in the ass.   But to go off and try to do any type of search on the Internet, you didn't do that. It didn't have a browser on the phone.   So to go   across the state, I was like, yeah. Hell, we'll do it. I didn't take a looking at a, looking at a at a map. I I knew that there was I knew that at the moment I come to an odd numbered,   interstate,   that was north that was north south running interstate. You just didn't know Yeah. Even numbered the interstate, you go on east and west.  

Yeah. You just didn't know it it was gonna be in another state. I didn't real yeah. I just didn't realize that it was gonna be on in a completely opposite state,   on opposite side of the state. So I was like, you know, we drove and drove and drove and drove. And we were, like, going, alright.   There's a shit ton of hay here, but I have yet to see a damn cow.   There's a couple and that's about it. Oh, yeah. There's a few cows, but there was there was a whole bunch of hay and very very few, bovines to to consume it.   And,   yeah. And then by the time we finally I mean, we ended up driving until, like, 2 o'clock in the morning, and I was, like, going, I'm toast.  

Let's find the first spot place we find, let we're just gonna stop, and we've some little podunk,   hotel that,   that, that we made sure we didn't keep any any black lights on because I didn't wanna see what was on the walls. And so we slept in the we slept there, you   know,   that night, then got up early in the morning, grabbed some coffee, ripped out of there, and, and continued driving until we got to and and on our way there, on our way back, on our way,   came across my first mom, Pa Kettle. We had to stop, and eat at mom, Pa Kettle because I'd heard people talk about it before. I was like, hey. Oh, it's a mom, Pa Kettle. And so tried it out. Denny's is better. So   I was, you know, like, okay.  



[02:37:23] Duuude-Ron :

You know, I should've just said fried green tomatoes.  

[02:37:27] Bryan Goodwin:

Hey. I don't know what fried green tomatoes are,   But, no, I like the I like the fact that there's a definite name for a bureaus, though. I didn't I would've never known a runza.   I mean, that's I I'm used to the German version.  

[02:37:44] Rich Chelson:

Well, runza is German.  

[02:37:47] Duuude-Ron :

It is. Yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah.  

[02:37:49] Bryan Goodwin:

I've always heard of called yachts. So   that's what you find down in, down in, like, Smithsville, Texas, which is about as German as you can get without going to the motherland.   So  

[02:38:01] Rich Chelson:

Well, maybe maybe it's another part of Germany. Who knows?  

[02:38:04] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. Well well, there's the   damn. What the hell is the name of that town? I drive through it almost every day.  

[02:38:14] Unknown:

Yeah.  

[02:38:17] Duuude-Ron :

Kalachis,   15 different   no. Not 15. Like, about 60 different Kalachis stores.  

[02:38:24] Bryan Goodwin:

Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. Down in,   well, no. They've got a bottle over there in, I think it's around around the temple area.  

[02:38:34] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. West is what I'm thinking.  

[02:38:36] Bryan Goodwin:

Oh, okay.   So Yeah. Yeah. But they there's a lot of klaches.   Yeah. And the the real kolaches, the kolaches that are that are just they're jelly jelly filled, rolls is essentially what they are.   And then you got your clover snacks, which are the ones with the different types of sausages in there. And then you got your bierockses, which are the,   hamburger meat, cabbage, onions, and, any other flavor that you wanna throw into it,   rolled up in a big old roll.  

[02:39:05] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. Might have to,   stop sometime and see if they got one, if it tastes anything like a runza.   But  

[02:39:15] Rich Chelson:

Well, dude, you do that and tell us how how it is.  

[02:39:20] Bryan Goodwin:

You'll find that they're a lot better. I mean, anything sorry. Nebraskans   didn't seem to understand spice at all.  

[02:39:27] Rich Chelson:

Oh, no. No. That's that's like in Iowa. They think a made right, which is pulverized   hamburger,   pulverized   onions,   and   maybe a little bit of salt is is the best thing in the world.   Madreight,   m a I d That was not them selling it was made right. No. It's trust me. It's not.   It's not.   No seasoning whatsoever. No taste.  

[02:39:56] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. It's funny because my, my wife, Jana, she talks about time that she used to live up in Minnesota,   with her mom and and and stuff. And they they would get care packages of paste pecanic sauce and and Tabasco sauce and chili powder and all this other all the good seasonings that they needed to make, you know, Mexican food. They get, like, the El Paso,   it's a lot of sauce and stuff sent to them because you'd go up there and, you know, they're   spice? Spices? Oh my. What do you what do you mean? Well, we've got we've got, we've got ketchup. That should be spicy enough for you. Right? Sitting in the pit. Yes.  

[02:40:37] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. Say a lot of lot of Yankee   states up there, they have no idea   what what,  

[02:40:45] Bryan Goodwin:

spices  

[02:40:46] Duuude-Ron :

Well, well, the, the first picture I used was for,   was from Pexipay.   And, it was, it was a free, it was a free picture to use, and I took it right into Canva   and I would start working on it.   And then Canva would shut down   and it wouldn't come back. And I I tried it in What's the spread of jeans again? I tried it in Opera. I tried it in,   Chrome. I tried it in,   Microsoft Edge   and, fuck, Canva was just, it was just locking it in. Not having it. You know, so so I went to paint Microsoft   Paint   and   that's   that that that mess is what I came up with. And I'm like, okay. I'll run I'll run with it. You know?   I mean yeah.
