Hey, man. Hello, and welcome to 2 grumpy vets. And, dude, this is a show that each week allows for 3 friends to get together and live life intentionally.   We do this by throwing a little social commentary   with our own weird sense of humor and our thoughts together   to show folks that living having weekly conversations   is a good way to help   each other out, help men become better men. And so now on with the show with Brian,   Rich, and the  

[00:00:33] Duuude-Ron :

[00:00:47] Duuude-Ron :

Oh, I bet you could.  

[00:00:51] Rich Chelson:

Well, you know,   all the voices in my head,   they do, you know,   argue from time to time.   But the problem is is there's no clear winner.   I don't know why.  

[00:01:09] Duuude-Ron :

There we go.  

[00:01:11] Bryan Goodwin:

Alright. Everyone's already here.   Yeah. You as usual, day late, dollar short. What do you mean as usual? You're usually the last one here.

[00:01:36] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. We get I was just I had a,   was talking to a, to an old friend. They're wanting to do a podcast. So   So I wanted to try to start up a podcast and was wanting to   and, we just wanted some information.   So I've seen what I could throw at them that would thoroughly confuse them.  

[00:01:56] Rich Chelson:

You know what? We've been doing this podcast for I don't know how long, and you fucking thoroughly confuse me every goddamn time.   But at least you guys ain't pushing buttons anymore. Just arbitrarily pushing buttons.  

[00:02:10] Bryan Goodwin:

You know? Well, you we still do that.   Oh, okay. I just don't have, I I was too damn broke this week to, or this last pay period to get a, to get an aux cord so we could actually have some good,   have some good sound effects. So  

[00:02:27] Rich Chelson:

Well, we got Chinese cellular.   Yeah.   What else do we need?  

[00:02:36] Bryan Goodwin:

Oh, quite a bit. We could have a screaming goat.  

[00:02:42] Rich Chelson:

Well, those would be fun. I see I see that come up on my Facebook meme.   So,   a paper towel dispenser.   It sounds like one of those screaming ghosts. So what do they do? They put a picture   on the front of it of a screaming goat.   Yep.   So it's like have you seen it?  

[00:03:04] Bryan Goodwin:

Uh-huh. Yeah. And then you go in and then you go,   Yeah.  

[00:03:11] Duuude-Ron :

Mhmm.  

[00:03:12] Bryan Goodwin:

Oh, yeah. Good old screaming goat's great.   So but, no, you could put in all sorts of things. You know?   Put in the put in a buzzer, so somebody says something   you wanna say it's wrong, you  

[00:03:26] Duuude-Ron :

[00:03:40] Duuude-Ron :

Rich know?   Ding. You know?  

[00:03:46] Rich Chelson:

[00:03:54] Bryan Goodwin:

So   so how's everybody today?  

[00:04:00] Rich Chelson:

Cold.  

[00:04:01] Bryan Goodwin:

Cold?   How much Raining. How how much white air did you get?  

[00:04:06] Rich Chelson:

You know, we're we did not get cold enough. Well,  

[00:04:10] Duuude-Ron :

I think it was  

[00:04:12] Rich Chelson:

when I went into work this morning, it was 30 degrees,   but we hadn't had any precipitation yet. Oh, you had? But wow.   So I ran my route today, and as I'm getting back   and parking the truck, it's yeah. That was about   12:30,   about 1 o'clock.   It just starts to sprinkle.   And then   when I leave work about what was it?   3,   then it started to, you know,   start doing a little bit of rain.   And now it's it's not coming down, but it's just a steady   light rain right now. And it I think it's like   I think the high today got like   41.  

Oh, wow. But the challenge is gonna be for tomorrow   because I don't know if we're gonna drop below freezing, but we're supposed to have rain pretty much   through the night.   Now   I was told that they were having snow flurries or possible snow flurries up by Dallas area,   but I can't confirm nor deny.   You know? So I don't know.   But as of right now,   we're,   running our routes tomorrow.   And then Saturday, of course, is supposed to be fucking 65 goddamn degrees.   Hell, yeah. No wonder everybody's got fucking pneumonia around here. Jesus.  

[00:05:49] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, you know.  

[00:05:53] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. 65   on   Saturday and, like, 58 on Sunday.   It's like,   damn.   Come on, 65.   This 42 degree bullshit,   that's just aggravating.   So at least I'm not up in Colorado where it's negative whatever and has   several feet of   white shit on the ground.   Right. No. Thank you.  

[00:06:23] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. We'll sleep all the way up to a balmy 40 degrees on on Saturdays. So  

[00:06:29] Rich Chelson:

Oh, yeah?   What do you,   did you guys get any  

[00:06:34] Bryan Goodwin:

precipitation there Oh, yeah. Where you're at? Yeah. Your drizzle   that you were having,   we've had as snow all day. So it hadn't been a hard hard,   snowfall. It hadn't been big fat fluffy flakes or anything like that. It's just been the little bitty flakes.   Uh-huh. And they'll come down for a little while, and then it'll stop. Then it'll come down for a little while and then it'll stop. So we've got about an inch, maybe an inch and a half of snow on the ground.  

[00:06:59] Rich Chelson:

Oh, really? That much? Yeah.   Wow.   Better you than me. Yep. Well,  

[00:07:06] Bryan Goodwin:

just means I get to stay at home to get it tomorrow.  

[00:07:09] Rich Chelson:

That kinda sucks. Yeah. It does.  

[00:07:14] Bryan Goodwin:

Yep. But we got the got one of the dogs to the vet, so that's good.   Gotta get the other one to the vet because   this coming end of the February, I've gotta run to, I gotta run run down to paradise.   They're in they're in your neck of the woods.  

[00:07:33] Rich Chelson:

For what?  

[00:07:34] Bryan Goodwin:

Oh,   just need to start having some   more serious conversations with mom and her health and   finances   and things like that and see if she would be willing to   to to hand control of her finances over to me so that,   so that her bills could be taken care of, and   she doesn't go overspend. And I've gotta go find out how much,   property taxes are are gonna be for this year and everything else. So  

[00:08:03] Rich Chelson:

Oh, okay.  

[00:08:06] Bryan Goodwin:

And also see if I can get her to start, start taking a little better care of herself because   according to my aunt, she's she's basically decided to to see if she can,   start up roots in the chair. So   so we can't have that.   Nah. Gotta get her up and moving and   so  

[00:08:29] Rich Chelson:

How old is she?   Okay.  

[00:08:34] Bryan Goodwin:

Born in 55.   So   what's that? 70?   55, 65, 75, 85,   95,   2005,   2005,   16,   or 25,   15.   Yeah. About 70.   Oh, okay. So, yeah, she's 69. This right now, gonna be and she's got she's got   we're we're trying to decide or figure out if she's got,   she's got early on not early onset, but she's if she's starting to go down the road,   dementia, Alzheimer's and stuff, because   she repeats a lot of her questions.   Okay. And   trying to get somebody who doesn't realize they have a memory problem   to go check out to see if they've got a memory problem is a lot harder than you'd think.   Because they're like, well, I just, I forgot. Yeah. Well, you've asked the same question   4 times in the last 15 minutes,   so   there's a problem there.  



[00:09:48] Rich Chelson:

So, basically, it's CRS.  

[00:09:52] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, yeah. She can't remember shit, but   well, she can't remember recent shit.   So it's CRRS.  

[00:10:04] Rich Chelson:

Okay.  

[00:10:07] Bryan Goodwin:

And turn that heat down and   it's getting up there.  

[00:10:18] Rich Chelson:

That What we what what are you running? Just the space heater or the  

[00:10:23] Bryan Goodwin:

running the house? Just so I don't have to worry about heat, being beat up by the dogs and and being disturbed by them. I I ran after the truck.   So It'll be it'll be about, what, 15 minutes before they're like, where where the hell is dad? Oh, no. No. No. Rain. Rain already saw me going out. I was walking down the road. I could sit there and hear her barking barking at me through the window.   So she's not she wasn't happy. She never is happy because I had to take took Watson,   took Watson out of the house and she didn't get to go, and that was not fair to her. So   Well, she's what? The princess?  

She is. She's a she's a   prince ass.   Yeah.  

[00:11:14] Rich Chelson:

Well, yeah. She she thinks she's a she thinks she's a princess, but, you know,   pain in the ass princess.   Yeah. She don't care. Close enough. She don't care. Yeah. Close enough. She don't care.   Yeah.   I'm glad you have her, not me.   Is she still and I'm sure she still tries to be a lap dog. Oh, she's, they all all that's a that's a dame thing.   Uh-huh. Okay.  

[00:11:46] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. I mean,   you ever go and look at,   at,   Larry, the great Dane?   Cause he's got There's Larry and then his brother, brother Joe.   And they're always No. Trying to Well, one usually see,   Larry likes to sit with the with what the what they, affectionately call the little human,   which if you if you look at her, she's probably about 14, 15 years old.   Okay. And, he always likes to go go up and and,   she'll be looking at what doing something on her phone or tablet   on the arm of the, and kinda   bent, supporting her arms on the armrest. And so he comes along and he just, like, sits on her hip. So he basically sits on her while she's doing something.   And, then the, the the guy, the man of the house, he, he'll sit in his, in his recliner,   and,   and   here'll come here'll here'll come Larry, and he'll Larry will actually even carry his blanket when he wants to wants to start settling down and and go into bed. Apparently, Larry will drag his blanket up onto the,   up onto the chair with him. And, he'll he'll sit there and he'll step and and all, and you'll hear the guy going.  

Get stepped on.   And then it just he'll lay down, and   that'll cover him up. So it's just it's Danes are are funny that way. I mean, of course, I bet you if you ask David,   Hanks,   and his little, his little   bull the, bulldog that he's got. I can't think of what type of bulldog.   Other than he's a little short, stocky, he's he's wider than he is tall. And it's all muscle.   And,   Zeus   I'm sure I'm sure Zeus is probably about the same way because, hell,   dog doesn't have any hair either. So  

[00:13:46] Rich Chelson:

Oh. Yeah.   Gotta find warmth someplace.   Yeah.   No. No. Thank you.   So, Rich, how's,   how's your weather?  

[00:14:04] Bryan Goodwin:

Oh, did we lose Rich?  

[00:14:06] Rich Chelson:

I don't know.   Did we ever lose Rich?  

[00:14:10] Bryan Goodwin:

Looking. Now we got 3 people.   Rich   didn't didn't,   no. He's not blocked, or he's not muted.  

[00:14:21] Rich Chelson:

Rich.  

[00:14:22] Bryan Goodwin:

Did you go, poo? Oh, we lost   lost him. I bet you. He must've lost, lost  

[00:14:30] Rich Chelson:

signal. Oh, okay.   Because I had, you know, initially, because I was the first one here. I was shocked. Oh, really? Hey. So were you doing the preshow preshow songs and stuff?   Oh, yeah. You know, me me being a toll rich I know. I could not be There he is.   I could not be a DJ because,   you know, I can't talk to myself. It just now now all the people that, you know, I have arguing in my head,  

[00:15:00] Bryan Goodwin:

you know, they may, you know Well, they differentiate. You could give voices to the different voices in your head. You know? So you could be like you could have, you know, the asshole It'd be a lot like this, and you could be talking a lot, you know, a lot of trash and stuff, and then you got, you got the other voice. It's just kinda talking like a little bit like this. And, you know, you you come up with all sorts of voices to fill fill a man, and you just have them all just fight fight it out in   and, in in one face won't. Hell, you didn't even get people talk about it if you did it in your truck.  



[00:15:34] Rich Chelson:

Probably so because   I'd probably get video then,   you know, my boss and   boss's boss is like, who the fuck are you continue to talk to? You on the phone? I'm like, I'd be like, no. I'm just   talking to the entertain myself, man. Yeah. I'm talking to the, you know, one of the several,   you know, voices in my head.   I don't know how well that would go over, but, you know, hey. Well, you know. Okay. Yep. Yeah. So, Rich, how's how's your weather?  

[00:16:06] Duuude-Ron :

Warmer than yesterday.  

[00:16:10] Bryan Goodwin:

[00:16:29] Bryan Goodwin:

Oh, okay.  

[00:16:31] Duuude-Ron :

So I'm not too bad, and it's supposed to be almost 6 to tomorrow.   So   and,   yeah, it's   it's starting to get warmer. And Well, good. Yeah. Yeah. Real good because my fucking electric bill is gonna be $400.   Well, not far from it. 322.   Got, got the bill today.  

[00:16:56] Bryan Goodwin:

[00:17:06] Rich Chelson:

Was it lower in the summertime though than it is in the winter?  

[00:17:10] Duuude-Ron :

Oh, fuck yeah. Yeah. It was a lot lower in the summertime.   Really?   Yeah.  

[00:17:16] Rich Chelson:

Damn.  

[00:17:17] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. Uh-huh.   Brian, what was you saying?  

[00:17:21] Bryan Goodwin:

I'll   yeah. That. I was gonna say that.   Okay. Okay. Yeah. It's supposed to be I remember. I remember now. Yeah. Maybe where you have to just hold yourself up in the radio room just,   just throw a cot out or an air mattress and just   put a, put a,   a space heater right there and just call it good.  

[00:17:42] Duuude-Ron :

Right. Right.   Yeah. Yeah. I've got, yeah, I've got a few things I have to do before,   next January.   So   insulation,   make sure   make sure my furnace is,   cleaned out,   stuff like that, ready to go.   Right.   Maybe a new thermostat   because   this one, it's in there.   Took me a minute, but I found the   manual for it.   And Oh, okay. Yeah. It's an old one. I mean, it's, not a fancy one   by no means.  

[00:18:22] Bryan Goodwin:

Just standard,   dial 1?  

[00:18:24] Duuude-Ron :

No. It's not a dial one.  

[00:18:26] Bryan Goodwin:

Wow.  

[00:18:27] Duuude-Ron :

It is it is it is push button, but   it has on and off heat and cool.   And just the temperature. And And just the temperature. Ours  

[00:18:40] Bryan Goodwin:

ours before we took it off because, well, we don't it was a gas heater, and we don't use gas anymore.   It still had the dial, so you could sit there and hit   hot or cold and   crank it over, and you could take the cover off. You'd see the little bit of, little bit of, mercury sitting there sliding back and forth.  

[00:18:59] Duuude-Ron :

Oh, yeah. That was yeah. That's ancient, dude. Oh, hell  

[00:19:02] Bryan Goodwin:

yeah. Hell, my house is almost a 100 years old. So  

[00:19:07] Duuude-Ron :

Right. Well   well, mine's been updated. Mine's   75   this year.   So  

[00:19:15] Rich Chelson:

Oh, really?  

[00:19:16] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah.  

[00:19:17] Rich Chelson:

Damn.  

[00:19:18] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. It was made in 1950.  

[00:19:20] Rich Chelson:

Oh, okay.  

[00:19:22] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. Mine's a 100 years old, and I think the insulation is actually older.  

[00:19:28] Rich Chelson:

Probably.  

[00:19:29] Duuude-Ron :

That's a possibility.   But   so yeah. No. It was it was actually warmer today. I still I I still wore my winter coat   when I went outside.   But,   Yeah. I noticed it was it was a little warmer, and I   and I actually,   walked around a little bit.   Found out my   my, outside,   AC,   you know, thing   Uh-huh. Is is only a central air. It is not a heat pump.   It's not central air and heat.   It's central air.  

[00:20:08] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, good. Heat pumps don't really work that well.   No. Because they they'll they'll put out they'll put out warmish air,   but if you want this type of heat, that'll actually kinda make you get the shivers and go, oh, that feels nice.   Yeah. You gotta have a furnace   that that kicks it in.  

[00:20:31] Duuude-Ron :

I well,   I'm very seriously thinking about putting in a wood stove,   before next year. Yep.   That would actually be the cheapest way to go because I could eat the whole house.  

[00:20:44] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, I mean, you it's very, very possibly could. Just make sure you don't get you get a decent sized one. It's not, not a smaller one.   So  

[00:20:54] Duuude-Ron :

Well, I mean, I'm not I'm not wanting one,   you know, real big or anything because, I mean, it, you know, it doesn't get frigid down here.  

[00:21:02] Bryan Goodwin:

Right.  

[00:21:03] Duuude-Ron :

Well, okay.   Temperature wise, by the numbers, no. It doesn't get frigid.   If you would've asked me a couple days ago,   yes. It was fucking frigid.  

[00:21:16] Rich Chelson:

No. It wasn't frigid. It's just cold.  

[00:21:21] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. Yeah. No. I mean, it it it   yeah. Freaking hurt my lungs to breathe   a couple days ago, and I was like, yeah. That's just that's just a little much.  

[00:21:34] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. That could be car considered frigid then.   Yeah. If your lungs hurt.  

[00:21:40] Duuude-Ron :

The thing is, though,   it was, like, 29 degrees outside.   The wind was blowing probably   10, 15, 20 miles an hour, but   and, yeah, it just yeah. It hurt.   You know? And I'm like I'm like, fuck.   I can't keep coming outside like this till it warms up. You know?   And it did warm up to about, you know, 48   that day,   which after it warmed up, it was better, but it wasn't that wind is is, what did it.  

[00:22:14] Rich Chelson:

Oh, yeah.  

[00:22:17] Bryan Goodwin:

So what you're saying is we probably need to make your nickname be Buick.  

[00:22:24] Duuude-Ron :

What do you mean Buick?  

[00:22:25] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, like, that's what the,   that's what the old man in the Christmas story had was a was a he was a Buick man,   and that thing would freeze up on the 4th July on the equator.   So, you know,   you know, always called nature. So   oh, you have not you have not seen the Christmas story?  

[00:22:53] Rich Chelson:

I've never watched Christmas story. No. Don't like it.   Nope.  

[00:22:59] Bryan Goodwin:

Now We're gonna have to have words, man. We're gonna have to have words off off off a show because this this ain't cool.   Well,  

[00:23:08] Rich Chelson:

that's okay.   Now I will sit and watch back to back   It's a Wonderful Life.  

[00:23:17] Bryan Goodwin:

Love that. That's a great show right there.   Yeah. It's a Wonderful Life, White Christmas,   holiday,   holiday is Holiday Inn? Holiday Holiday Inn?  

[00:23:29] Duuude-Ron :

Now that one, I haven't seen.  

[00:23:32] Bryan Goodwin:

Holiday Inn. Have you not ever seen that with Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire and everybody?  

[00:23:36] Duuude-Ron :

No. Like, and   It's like Christmas, I did. I I just watched it.   Irving Berlin's white Christmas. Yeah. With Bing Crosby and Dave. Bing Crosby. Yeah.  

[00:23:48] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. But for holiday, yeah. And that one's, that one's, it's not necessarily, it's got a Christmas season because they're, they're talking about that   it   each,   the, the hotel puts on a, a show that's based on whatever holiday it is that particular   it is at that particular moment. So they have Christmas   and and, and stuff like that, and then they have,  

[00:24:15] Duuude-Ron :

oh,  

[00:24:17] Bryan Goodwin:

I don't know what which one it is, but they actually they do,   they do one that would be considered rather   rather racist this,   this time of,   in this society because,   Bing Crosby and,   I'm pretty sure it's Fred Astaire.   Anyhow, the 2 guys, the 2 main guys who are doing the most of the singing and dancing in in the show,   they put on blackface and sing, sing,   sing about,   a,   about Abraham   Lincoln. So, you know, I think it's about so it'd be around Lincoln's birthday or something.   They, do Christmas   and 4th July, and so there's a whole bunch of others, but gets get a little show, little you know, they've got,   got little,   almost short little vignettes that are done within a whole show, if you wanna call it that. I don't I I'm trying to find I struggle the best way to describe it because,   it's just it's   about, about these folks who are doing who do a show,   at a hotel,   year round. So all the different, they put on all their different dance numbers are based upon what holiday they're supposed to be in. So  

[00:25:41] Duuude-Ron :

Okay.   I might I might I might have to see if I can find that movie   and check it out because I I mean,   it would have it would have awesome movie or awesome singing, dancing, and all that shit. Oh, yeah.   You know? And,   yeah, you're right.   Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire,   Marjorie Reynolds, Virginia Dale,   and Walter Abel.  

[00:26:12] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. There's Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire. Yeah.  

[00:26:15] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. And the music is by, Irving Berlin. So   I think it'd be pretty good.  

[00:26:23] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. No. It it it's a it's a good show.  

[00:26:29] Rich Chelson:

I'm not a   Not into that.  

[00:26:38] Duuude-Ron :

You're not a,   old movie?   Not really.   No.   Okay.   No.   I like it because you see back then,   the actors actually danced and sing their own songs.  

[00:26:55] Bryan Goodwin:

Right.  

[00:26:56] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah.   I I mean, it's it it was real. And Mhmm.   A lot of   times, you know, if they messed up, they just left in the movie,   especially if it worked.  

[00:27:08] Rich Chelson:

Yeah.  

[00:27:09] Duuude-Ron :

You know?  

[00:27:12] Rich Chelson:

I don't know. Yeah. There's never been my cup of tea for those   singing and dancing movies of   the gilded age.  

[00:27:22] Duuude-Ron :

Well, dude, you're just like   I know. An asshole. Have words. I I I agree with Brian. We have to have words about it.  

[00:27:33] Bryan Goodwin:

We have got to get you cultured, man.  

[00:27:37] Duuude-Ron :

Right.   I mean I mean   yeah.   Seriously, man.  

[00:27:42] Rich Chelson:

I mean, the My my petri dish is about as cultured as it's gonna get.   It's growing shit,   you know, but it ain't growing there.   It's a or a Christmas story  

[00:28:02] Duuude-Ron :

or   It's a doobie. Grow faster than your petri dish.  

[00:28:07] Rich Chelson:

What grows faster?  

[00:28:08] Duuude-Ron :

Amoebas   grow faster than your petri dish.  

[00:28:14] Rich Chelson:

Oh, I'm sure.   I just yeah.  

[00:28:19] Duuude-Ron :

Oh, lord.   No. We need to we need to grow your petri dish, dude.   Oh, no. Expand  

[00:28:29] Rich Chelson:

my bacteria   to say?  

[00:28:31] Duuude-Ron :

Yes. Yes.   Yes. We need to expand the bacteria.  

[00:28:37] Rich Chelson:

No. That's okay. My my bacteria is already kinda   slightly furry as it is. So  

[00:28:44] Duuude-Ron :

No. It it it it needs to get a little furrier, dude.  

[00:28:50] Bryan Goodwin:

Y'all need to stop talking about fur and stuff. That's just, you know,   trying to keep it somewhat family friendly here, people.  

[00:28:59] Duuude-Ron :

Now, dude, anybody that listens,   do you think they would even know what they're about?   I mean, I I mean,   I would say I would say pretty much everybody who listens to this   would be like dude going.  

[00:29:17] Rich Chelson:

Wow.  

[00:29:18] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. I can't do it as good as dude can.   Wow.   There you go.  

[00:29:24] Rich Chelson:

There you go.  

[00:29:26] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. I think I think dude sits on the couch and practices that thing.  

[00:29:31] Bryan Goodwin:

Oh, he does.  

[00:29:33] Duuude-Ron :

I mean, I mean, practices and gets it down perfect.  

[00:29:37] Rich Chelson:

Perfect. That's right.   You know?   Some things I like perfection. Other things I just like, you know,   dumpster fire.  

[00:29:49] Duuude-Ron :

Oh my god.   Yeah. No. In fact in fact, just before this, the reason why I was late getting on   is,   I was watching Toy Story.  

[00:30:02] Rich Chelson:

Which one?   You got a friend in me.  

[00:30:07] Bryan Goodwin:

You got a friend in me. Yeah.  

[00:30:10] Rich Chelson:

The first one. First one? Yeah.  

[00:30:15] Duuude-Ron :

Because I I just I I don't know. It's it I mean,   I hadn't seen it in a while. And I just watched Monsters Inc earlier   today   because I hadn't seen Monsters Inc in a long time.   A very long time.  

[00:30:32] Rich Chelson:

Yeah.   So Couple of Pixar classics.  

[00:30:39] Duuude-Ron :

You know, speaking of that, actually,   Pixar. I've I've I've always loved   you you know when the movie starts and then the word and then the word Pixar's on the screen and Right. With the, with the lamp and the ball?  

[00:30:53] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. With the jumping lamp?  

[00:30:55] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. Yeah. The lamp   jumps over to the eye.   Uh-huh. Wiggles and then jumps and lands and squishes the eye.  

[00:31:03] Bryan Goodwin:

Yep.   It's a ball.  

[00:31:06] Duuude-Ron :

Well, now what   what I've always wanted to see, okay, and what what I think would be fucking hilarious.   I mean, I don't care how bad the movie was,   Just   that this scene right here would be perfect. When he jumped and squished the   eye, okay,   and then the eye popped back up and sent   the sent the,   lamp flying.  

[00:31:33] Rich Chelson:

And then   and then, of course, they have the light should have the lamp land in front of the Pixar  

[00:31:40] Duuude-Ron :

and break and, you know, so on like that. Oh, yeah. Dude, that that that would make that would make a bad movie really fucking good   because people would be watching the opening credits.   I don't know. I'm my mind's weird like that.  

[00:31:59] Rich Chelson:

You know, I I know I've wondered the same thing. It's like, what what would happen if that eye just sprang back up,   and what would it do to the lamp?   Right. That would be that would be funny.  

[00:32:11] Duuude-Ron :

It would. See, that's the thing. It's like it's like I was at on on Toy Story.   I saw the lamp come and then do its little wiggle and then jump on the eye. And then Yep. And then turn and look at you and everything, and I was just like, now pop up.   Let me see what happens.   You know, that's but it never does.   I I'm still hoping.   I'm still hoping it does.   Maybe   maybe I ought to write the   writers that are the moviemakers at Pixar, see if they can't   make a scene like that. Just send it to me. Because I would I would have that as a fucking screensaver or something.  

[00:32:56] Rich Chelson:

You know Pixar is no more.  

[00:32:59] Duuude-Ron :

Really?  

[00:33:00] Bryan Goodwin:

Yep. Well, it is. It's just it's Disney now. It's a it's an offshoot of Disney.  

[00:33:05] Rich Chelson:

Yep. Yeah. Disney owns it and but they no longer   call it Pixar.  

[00:33:15] Bryan Goodwin:

You sure about that? Yeah. I was gonna I'll double check that one.  

[00:33:19] Duuude-Ron :

I mean, here. I'll check. I mean, I I don't know myself.   I mean, because,   I can't believe Disney owns,   Pixar.  

[00:33:32] Bryan Goodwin:

They do. Yeah. And they they it's not much fun about like to they like to advertise. In fact, they've got that.   Let's see here.  

[00:33:42] Duuude-Ron :

No. Pixar's still running.  

[00:33:45] Bryan Goodwin:

They may be owned by Disney, but Pixar's still running. If you go to Disney Channel, there's actually a a whole section that's just nothing but pixar.  

[00:33:53] Duuude-Ron :

Oh, okay. You can go to pixar.com,   and toy story 5 is coming out in 2026.  

[00:34:01] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. That's a sad thing.   So They should've kept it after they had,   after they had Shindler's toy box there.   Oh, boy. Story 3.   Toy story three is it was such a freaking,   tearjerker because they have all the kit all the toys falling into the furnace and stuff.   It was basically, it was like,   like Schindler's list except so we got me and some friends have joked around that it's Oscars. It's Schindler's toy box.  

[00:34:32] Rich Chelson:

Oh, okay. I got you.  

[00:34:34] Duuude-Ron :

Okay.   Well, you   see,  

[00:34:40] Rich Chelson:

Toy Story 4,   he gave all the toys to the neighbor   or the girl down the street.  

[00:34:49] Bryan Goodwin:

Right.  

[00:34:53] Rich Chelson:

So I wonder how that put up the pace of that.  

[00:34:58] Duuude-Ron :

Say that see, I've only seen Toy Story 1, so   I I don't.   Oh, so you're way behind the power curve.   Yeah. I don't. I don't,   I I mean, normally,   just because,   most   sequels   suck.   I just watched you I just watched the originals.  

[00:35:29] Rich Chelson:

Well, actually, all of the Toy Stories   are really good.  

[00:35:36] Duuude-Ron :

Okay.  

[00:35:38] Rich Chelson:

They are.  

[00:35:39] Duuude-Ron :

No. No. I believe you. I believe you. Yep.   You wanna hear something funny?   One of the founders of Pixar   was Steve Jobs.  

[00:35:54] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah.  

[00:35:55] Duuude-Ron :

I Really? Yeah. I did not know that.   Yeah. It's and and yeah. It says its parent organization as well, Disney Studios, but no. Pixar is still going.   Oh, okay. In, Emeryville, California.   Oh.   Yeah.   But, yeah, John Lasseter, Ed Edwin Catmull,   Alexander,   Shear,   Alvy Ray Smith were the founders of Pixar.  

[00:36:29] Rich Chelson:

But you said Steve Jobs, was it?  

[00:36:32] Duuude-Ron :

Yep.   Yep. Yep. Steve Jobs was too. It was founded in 1986.  

[00:36:39] Rich Chelson:

Oh, okay.  

[00:36:42] Duuude-Ron :

So   Wow. Founded in 86?   Yeah. Right? Yep.   That's that's almost 40 years next year. Well, February 3rd 86. So   February What was there? Little over a year, it'll be 40 years old.  

[00:36:59] Rich Chelson:

What was Pixar's first movie then?  

[00:37:03] Duuude-Ron :

Good question.   Let's ask uncle Google.  

[00:37:10] Rich Chelson:

Because if it was founded in 86  

[00:37:16] Duuude-Ron :

Actually, its first movie was   Toy Story   in 95.   Toy Story was the first   feature linked film   to be entirely computer animated.   It was, directed by John Lasseter   and stars Tom Hanks and Tim Allen.   Yep.   So   so his first   movie,   full movie,   was   Toy Story.   I didn't And they've had toy  

[00:37:50] Rich Chelson:

Toy Story,   Monsters Inc, Cars,   Planes.  

[00:37:59] Duuude-Ron :

I always say it. It's what?  

[00:38:02] Rich Chelson:

Planes?  

[00:38:03] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. It was a, spin off of Cars.  

[00:38:06] Duuude-Ron :

Oh, okay. Good movie.  

[00:38:09] Rich Chelson:

You really need to watch that one. Yeah. The weather's Plains 1 and Plains 2. I like Plains 1   the best.   But, yeah,   that that's a good movie, Planes.  

[00:38:22] Duuude-Ron :

I like that one. I've never heard of it. Yep. I really did. Never heard of it. Yeah. Oh, it says it says,   Pixar has produced 28 feature films,   which were all released by Walt Disney Studio   Motion   Pictures.   Not just Disney,   Walt Disney.   They state Walt Disney. I love that.  

[00:38:49] Rich Chelson:

You know, I bet you Walt Disney would just be turn just I'm sure he's turning in his grave right now what, you know,   Disney has become.  

[00:39:00] Bryan Goodwin:

I'm sure he's not excited about it. That's for sure.  

[00:39:05] Rich Chelson:

But I think it was his nephew   that   wasn't it his nephew that took over when he passed away?  

[00:39:14] Duuude-Ron :

Hell, I don't know. I don't remember.   But the second movie Pixar put out was A Bug's Life.  

[00:39:25] Bryan Goodwin:

Yep.   Yeah. Okay.  

[00:39:28] Duuude-Ron :

And then and then Toy Story   2 was right after that one.  

[00:39:36] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. And it probably and it took   10 years to develop all the, software for   those movies.   I saw some of the,   bloopers that they did when they first started,   you know, making the movie how it would,   like Monsters Inc,   you know, solely would just turn into a great big  

[00:40:01] Duuude-Ron :

spiked blob.   Right.   But   check this out.   Pixar started in 1979   as part of the Lucasfilm   computer division.   Was,   apparently, it wasn't known, or it was known as the graphics group   before it spin off as a corporation in 86.   And Steve Jobs,   from Apple funded it   and,   became its, majority shareholder.   And then Disney   announced its acquisition   of Pixar   in January of 2006.   So so, yeah, it was that was weird.   I did not know that.   So, actually, Pixar was   was back in 79 under another name.   And then in 86, it got, I guess, rebranded. And then Disney,   acquired it but kept the Pixar name   Yeah.  

Which was smart.  

[00:41:17] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. Because everybody   knows Pixar   based upon those those,   you know,   those particular movies that everybody loves.   You know?   What's some of the other ones?   Does it say so we got Planes, we got Cars,   Toy Story,   Bugs Life.   What else?  

[00:41:45] Duuude-Ron :

Let's see   here.   Say, Toy Story, A Bug's Life,  

[00:41:54] Bryan Goodwin:

Toy Story 2. Pull up their list?  

[00:41:57] Rich Chelson:

Yeah.   Monsters Inc.  

[00:42:00] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah.   Monsters Inc was   after that.   Finding Nemo   after that, The Incredibles,   Cars,   Ratatouille,   Wall E,   Toy Story 3,   Cars 2, Brave,   looks like Monsters United,   Inside Out,   The Good Dinosaur,   Finding Dory,   Cars 3, Coco,   Incredibles   2,   Toy Story 4,   Onward,   Soul,   Luca,   turning   red light year elemental   and inside out to.  

[00:42:49] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. The elemental was actually their first,   no buzz   was actually their first failure   followed by elemental became their second failure.  

[00:42:59] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. I was gonna say the last 5, I hadn't even heard of.   Planes wasn't on there?  

[00:43:09] Duuude-Ron :

No.   Nope.  

[00:43:16] Rich Chelson:

I wonder who the hell made Planes then.   Yeah. Toy Story, Bugs Love, Toy Story 2, Monster King, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille,  

[00:43:26] Bryan Goodwin:

Wally, Up.   Toy Story 3, Cars 2, Brave, Monsters   University,   Inside Out, The Good Dinosaur,   Finding Dory, Cars 3, Coco, Incredibles 2, Toy Story 4, Onward Soul, Luca, Turning Red, Lightyear, Elemental, Inside Out 2.   Inside Out 2, actually, was really good. I liked it. But,   yeah. No. There is no,   no Planes. So let's see here. I found it. It says Plains,  

[00:43:55] Duuude-Ron :

Plains was made in 2013,   and it was made by a number of people.   It was, produced by Disney Toon Studios   and released by Walt Disney's   Walt Disney Pictures.   It was a spin off of Pixar's Cars franchise,   but was not   produced   by Pixar.   Oh, okay. 2, 3, 4, 5 people.   And   John Lasseter is one of the,   people of, Pixar.   So   but, yeah, it was 5 people that that made the Planes movie,   and it was a spin off.  

[00:44:41] Rich Chelson:

Yeah.   So   but if you ever get a chance,   definitely watch at least Planes 1.   That's a good movie.   It it it's all based upon  

[00:44:58] Duuude-Ron :

cars.  

[00:45:02] Rich Chelson:

Right. Yeah. It's, it's, almost   the same plot line.   Right.  

[00:45:08] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. That's   that's exactly what I'm reading.   Yeah. So   I don't know. I'd never heard of it. So   I mean,   I mean, until you said something, I I didn't know, yeah, there was a movie like that.   Yep.   So   yeah. I don't know. I just I just I just find,   you know yeah. Some of the movies are are the older ones, but, you know, I still like them.  

[00:45:42] Rich Chelson:

New generation.  

[00:45:46] Duuude-Ron :

What's that?  

[00:45:47] Rich Chelson:

I said even though you like the   the old movies,   the new generation,   you know, you still like those as well.  

[00:45:55] Duuude-Ron :

Oh, yeah. You see, that's the thing, you know. I I like I like a wide range,   you know. Oh, yeah.   I'm not stuck on one   year, one genre like like a lot of people are.  

[00:46:08] Rich Chelson:

Yeah.  

[00:46:09] Duuude-Ron :

You know, I like I like a wide variety.  

[00:46:14] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. Unlike my music.   The eighties.   Now I'm like a lot of other music, but my genre is the eighties.  

[00:46:27] Duuude-Ron :

Right. Right.   Yeah. See, mine   mine is mine is to whatever my mood is at the time. So   Right. I I could be southern gospel in the morning,   blues in the afternoon,   or hip hop in the afternoon, and blues in the evening, or blues in the morning. Hey. I could be anywhere.   You know? I could be on classical   one morning   just because I just wanna hear that type of music.  

[00:47:01] Bryan Goodwin:

I'll listen to damn near anything.   I'm not a fan of rap of all rap. There's a little bit of rap that I'll listen to, but I've other than that, I mean, I'll listen to that. Hell, I've got songs that are,   in different languages. I've got French songs and and,   and,   Swedish yodel music. So, I mean, yeah, I   I cover a little bit anywhere and everywhere. I've got some,   like Punjabi music, so that that was always been kinda fun to listen to. So What the hell is that?   That's African, isn't it? No. No. It's Indian.  

[00:47:37] Duuude-Ron :

Oh, Indian? Yeah. It's  

[00:47:40] Bryan Goodwin:

the   Native American Hollywood songs. No. No. Native American or India? No. Indian with a dot, not Indian with a feather.  

[00:47:50] Rich Chelson:

Uh-huh. Okay.  

[00:47:52] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. No.  

[00:47:54] Bryan Goodwin:

No. Thank you. Not that I made sure that I was, I was racist to everybody.  

[00:47:59] Rich Chelson:

Yeah.   Absolutely.   Nope. I ain't gonna do   nope. No Indian music. Sorry.  

[00:48:07] Duuude-Ron :

I ain't gonna do it.   Can't do it.  

[00:48:14] Bryan Goodwin:

Always good.   Yeah. Okay. It's got a it's got a good bounce to it.  

[00:48:24] Rich Chelson:

Yeah.  

[00:48:29] Duuude-Ron :

Yep. No. They do keep that tune in your head,   and you'll laugh all day long.   And if you forget the tune, just call Brian, and he he can he can Yeah. He'll he'll shoot He'll just I'll shoot I'll shoot a a Spotify link to you that'll that'll  

[00:48:48] Bryan Goodwin:

let you listen to songs like that all day long.  

[00:48:51] Rich Chelson:

Oh, yeah. Yeah. That yeah.   Don't send it to me.   However, I do like the one on Facebook.   It it I don't know if it's an AI or if it's actually some Indian.   Today   is just fucked.   You can't unfuck it.   You're just fucked.   So try again tomorrow.  

[00:49:18] Bryan Goodwin:

Right. Exactly.   Yeah. I don't know who   supposed to be a,   based on the,   on the,   I if I had to guess, I would say it's probably   AI.   But but, yeah, it's a   just the fact that they've got, they got a, sounds like a, like a a a guru   telling you, you know, well,   best part of the day is the fact that it's already passed. So it is.  

[00:49:50] Rich Chelson:

Ain't that the truth?   Try again tomorrow.  

[00:49:54] Duuude-Ron :

Yep. Well, it's not the truth,   but   that would be a conversation for another time.   Speaking of Facebook, have you heard what's happening?  

[00:50:09] Bryan Goodwin:

Talking about,   Zuckerberg's side, and he better kiss, kiss the backside of a rather orange man?  

[00:50:17] Duuude-Ron :

A lot,   along with Amazon, Uber, and every fucking body else.   It seems like but yeah. Because, I've read a couple articles and,   Zuckerberg's   getting hammered for it. People are fucking pissed.   And,  

[00:50:38] Bryan Goodwin:

well, he's,   and the thing is, is that no one's actually realized is that Zuckerberg is turning   conservative.   Well, that's fine. But, but it's, it's not, and it is, it is. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but he's turning conservative.   And the biggest indicator is that his favorite   sport right now   is Brazilian jujitsu.   Okay. So?   Well, that's   a rather it's a it's a sport that a lot of a lot of,   lot of conservative people actually   get into as a, as a means   of of self improvement because you have to improve yourself. And it's kinda like karate except you're   you don't have to worry. You figure out, you know, what the,   the,   the   move sets of a, of the crane. You just you have some basic move sets, and you figure out how to incorporate them into,   into the, into your fighting style. And so   it's and Brazilian jujitsu is great because   for for several different reasons. 1, it does get your heart rate going. 2,   it is a great equalizer.  

You can have a little short scrawny dude go up against a great big huge buff dude.   And   depending on skill level alone,   is the is the is the indicator of who's gonna win.  

[00:52:07] Duuude-Ron :

Okay. And and that's fine. But you see, that's the thing. You know? I mean I mean, most people   that are pissed at him is not because   of the fucking Brazilian.  

[00:52:18] Bryan Goodwin:

No. No. No. It's not. It's but that is indicator that he has been   creeping over to the conservative   side   ever so slowly. No, no, no. They're pissed at him because that he is turning off. He's stopping the he's basically told, the fact checkers that,   they were a complete and total waste of time.  

[00:52:40] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. Yeah. And, and all this, and, and   he's saying people that are, that are bitching and all like this are virtue signaling.   Oh yeah. Which I had to look that up because I had never heard of that term. What virtual signaling? Oh, that's that's  

[00:52:56] Bryan Goodwin:

the whole, that's everything that woke was. That's why   that's why Dylan Molaney became the, the,   became the, the   face, of Bud Light   was so that they could, oh, we're virtuous. We're we we're inclusive. We let,   we, we let a, a guy who mocks women   be the face of our, because they claim to be a woman.  

[00:53:22] Duuude-Ron :

Well, now   here's   here's the definition view of it. It says the act of publicly   expressing opinions   or taking stances on social issues primarily   to demonstrate one's moral character to others.  

[00:53:38] Bryan Goodwin:

Often what I just said.  

[00:53:41] Duuude-Ron :

Often with the intention of gaining social approval rather than genuinely   supporting the cause itself.  

[00:53:48] Bryan Goodwin:

Can you say something?  

[00:53:50] Duuude-Ron :

Basically, people   is just, oh, yeah, jumping on the fucking bandwagon,   saying, oh, yeah. We're behind you. We're behind you. Or or Yeah. We hate you. We hate you. And then but yet,   back home behind closed doors, oh, no. Oh, no. We're not   associated with that.   Oh, fuck you. Stand up and say what you mean.   I wish No. They're doing what just like like Bud Light  

[00:54:17] Bryan Goodwin:

and at Disney. Help. You can look at Disney. Disney,   that's all that they're doing is virtue signaling. That's their pandering.  

[00:54:25] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah.  

[00:54:26] Bryan Goodwin:

You know, all they're, you know, everything that they do, they've been gender,   flipping, you know,   and race swapping   as many, as many white guys that they possibly can. Speaker zero (1h 45m 20s): Well, they try and, I mean, and they, well, they've done it and then they are wondering why they have lost.   What is it? Like, a $1,000,000,000,000   in their in their value or something like that?   Oh, I don't I don't know. I mean, they've lost a shit ton of money   because Oh, yeah. They have done well, that's the reason why buzz light year failed. That's why,   elemental failed.  

I mean, they they shoved every woke ideology   virtue signal they possibly could into that.   There's there's   gay elements in there. There's, you know, elements that are, that are   non binary. And I, I mean, they were so shoving it all in there.  

[00:55:31] Duuude-Ron :

And see, that's the thing. I I you know,   I'm the type   just like y'all.   I don't give a fuck what you do. Just don't force it down my throat. Yeah. Don't force it down my throat, and we'll be okay.   Yeah, exactly.  

[00:55:45] Rich Chelson:

Unless it's Bud Light.   And how many   1,000,000 of dollars did they lose as soon as that   ad campaign came out?  

[00:55:55] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, then that was because they   were trying to pander   to a group that a,   does not drink Bud Light beer.   B Right. White Claw. Yeah. They drink Okay. Maybe at that might be the, you know, the hardest thing they drink.   You know, they barely can handle that.   And,   and   sit there and   forgot who their base audience,   base customers were.   And then you have in like the, you know, gamer gate 2, that was going on for the past year.  

[00:56:33] Rich Chelson:

The what?  

[00:56:34] Bryan Goodwin:

It's called gamer gate. There was a gamer gate 1. Oh, probably about 10, 15 years ago. And what that was is it was the first try of of a bunch of feminists going, well, it's just a it there's too many men in in video game playing video games and and was making a they were making a big stink   about,   about the   about the games that were being produced. And they kinda was a little bit of a fluff up. It came up during the same time that, the Me Too movement came around.   And they were basically throwing a stink about, about how guys were making comments about gamer girls.   And,   for obvious reasons, because 90% of them try to make sure they get as close to the nipple with their clothes as they can without exposing a nipple.  

And then along comes,   started actually, I think, closer to 2023.   But around 2023,   2024,   all of a sudden you started having a lot of games that were   coming out and and and sucking. They were just they were trash.   One I mean, one of them that came out,   was called Dustborn,   and it was nothing but   how do you shut down   the the the whole   mechanics,   the battle mechanics of the of the game was, you know, was   to be a woke person.   To be a woke, you   you hear somebody say something you don't like, well, you scream racist at them, and and can you   unnerve them enough to where they just shut up and walk away? It was this is how lame of the game it was.  

And, yeah, it didn't it didn't, last very long. There's another one that came out that was actually done by, Sony themselves   called Concord,   and it lasted 2 weeks before they pulled the plug on the,   on the servers   and issued,   refunds to everybody   because the game   did not sell.   They started out with some, you know, with maybe 10,000 people playing all at the same time.   And then Well   as they with by the end of the week, there was, like,   5.   Some I I don't know what the actual number was, but, you know, it was something stupidly low. And so Sonny was like, yeah. Okay. And it was because,   one,   they tried   they they did the, the one thing that,   that the woke   folks do is 1,   the girls   were ugly. They purposely made them look as   Have these big square jaws looked   Had way more masculine,   features about about their face and stuff, were more blocky in their in their body,   and   weren't attractive.  

And one of the games that actually   excelled   this year   is a game called Stellar Blade, and it was done by a South Korean,   development company.   And   the girl the and the people in, like,   what is the,   the gaming magazine? It starts with Kotaro. I think think that's right. Kotaro,   I think is the name of the, of the gay of the,   magazine, but,   they were talking about this girl is so unrealistic,   in how she looks and yada yada yada. And the funny thing is is you see pictures of what the girl,   what the model actually was. It was a a South Korean,   model who was the model for the, for the the character in the game, stellar blade.  

And it looks damn near like her.   Did they accentuate the boobs and the butt a little bit? Okay. Possibly more likely   because the primary   players of video games are   men,   boys and men.   And so, yeah, we like jiggle physics.  

[01:01:03] Rich Chelson:

Jiggle physics.  

[01:01:04] Bryan Goodwin:

No. That's what, that's what they call it. I don't know if you ever played dead or alive or not, but that was   there's no why they called it dead or alive when it was about beach volleyball, but it's well, that's what they called it, dead or alive. And that was   one of the things that they,   in, like, the first three, four,   versions of dead or alive, they always talked about how they improved the jig, the jiggle physics.   So the girls would jump and and their boobs would bounce.  

[01:01:34] Duuude-Ron :

Well, I'll say this. I love girls that jiggle.  

[01:01:38] Unknown:

Oh, yeah.  

[01:01:41] Bryan Goodwin:

But then you go off and you were, if you're to look at the primary character of star wars outlaws,   which, okay, that's a double whammy because it's star wars and Kathleen Kennedy is not about to have a a star wars that actually become successful. She refuses to have a successful star wars.   And,   and 2,   Sweet Baby Inc, which is one of the big   consulting firms about   let's make this as DEI as possible   or DIE, actually, I should you should actually call it.   And,   and she does. She's got this   she's got a square jaw.   Did no better if she got if they extended it just a little bit, you might accidentally go off mistaken her for, for Rocky off a mask.  



[01:02:36] Duuude-Ron :

Wow.   That's ugly.  

[01:02:40] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah.   Good to see you knew that movie.  

[01:02:51] Duuude-Ron :

Oh my god.   Oh, that was funny.  

[01:02:56] Bryan Goodwin:

That was funny. That one that you you've you've you've seen. That was good. That was good. Yeah. But that's a good movie too. Yeah. One one of my favorites is mask   with Cher and   Eric Stoltz playing Rocky.   Yeah. The original mask. Yeah. Yeah. Not not the not the   not the low key in a mask type of mask.   What?   That's what mask with, with Jim Carey?   Yeah. That's what the mask is supposed to be. It's supposed to be low key.   Oh, okay. Well, that yeah. I'd say I don't I don't I don't dive into movies like Well, no. I mean, that's what they talk about. That's what, that's what they they he finds out in the movie is that it's Loki.  

[01:03:40] Duuude-Ron :

Okay. Well That's embedded in the mask. You see, that's the thing. I mean, on that,   I   I just watched a movie for the entertainment value. So  

[01:03:50] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. Not to not to decode it. Now.  

[01:03:53] Bryan Goodwin:

Oh, no. I don't I don't go off to decode most movies either   Unless the, unless it becomes a very profound   movie.   I I I'll go through and decode more books about books than I do do, movies. And most of the time, if I decode something, it's I I usually go through the,   through the Prism of, of masculinity. Because I mean, one of the things I'm working on right now is,   the, is the characters   of, of Yellowstone   and their,   and how they and and what their   actions   and their and how they,   and how they actually exemplify   noble masculinity.  

Okay. Which is something that throws a lot of people for a loop. Cause you lot, if you look around a lot of them, a lot of,   news sites that are talking about,   Yellowstone talk about the toxic masculinity of Yellowstone. And it's like, no. No. There's   when you first are thrown into it, yeah, you're kinda like going, wow, boy. These folks are assholes. But the more you go watch the show, you're going, oh, wait a minute. No. They're not assholes. They just have values   that they're going to hold on to.  

[01:05:17] Duuude-Ron :

Right.  

[01:05:18] Bryan Goodwin:

And, yeah, they're not   always   angelic people. They're not meant to be, you   know, perfect people. They have their flaws.   But as a whole, they have, like, John Dutton   has a   has a, a   a value, he is not going to let go. He is not going to let that ranch go.   He made a promise, and he sticks to his promises.  

[01:05:52] Rich Chelson:

Haven't watched one episode.  

[01:05:54] Bryan Goodwin:

You have or haven't?  

[01:05:56] Rich Chelson:

Have not.  

[01:05:58] Bryan Goodwin:

You'd miss it, man. That's it it is actually   a very   good series.   Great series.   I actually put it higher than what, what Breaking Bad is.  

[01:06:12] Rich Chelson:

Never watched Breaking Bad.   Never seen that one.   But, you know, I'm just,   you know, just not into   some, you know have you ever watched the show Castle?  

[01:06:34] Bryan Goodwin:

Just Castle or banning,   man from, High Castle?  

[01:06:38] Rich Chelson:

No. Castle.  

[01:06:39] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. Yeah. I've seen a couple episodes. I don't watch much   I mean, this is, this is the,   Yellowstone is the first   television series I've actually gone through and watched in,   since stranger things came out, the last season of stranger things came out.   I'm still waiting for the last of the last season too.  

[01:07:07] Rich Chelson:

I've never even heard of stranger things.   What?  

[01:07:11] Bryan Goodwin:

Never even heard of it. Claimed to be the lover of all things   eighties, and you haven't seen   Stranger Things?  

[01:07:19] Rich Chelson:

No. Never even heard of it.  

[01:07:24] Duuude-Ron :

Saying  

[01:07:25] Bryan Goodwin:

here.   Well,   your summer watching is is gonna start filling up pretty quick.  

[01:07:37] Rich Chelson:

Yeah.   Starting off with what?   Christmas story?  

[01:07:42] Bryan Goodwin:

No. No. That'll be close to the end, but, no, you probably start off with, with with Stranger Things.  

[01:07:50] Rich Chelson:

What's it  

[01:07:51] Bryan Goodwin:

about? It's about a bunch of kids from the eighties.   It takes place in the eighties and they do a beautiful   job   of capturing the eighties. You sit there and watch it going, oh my God, it's the eighties.   But it's, but essentially what it breaks down, it's a scifi. It's about a,   about a group of, group of misfit kids.   So you have the goonies aspect of it.   Okay. Who are,   who   end up having this strange girl show up   with   psychic powers   and one of their friends ends up disappearing,   and they go on a quest to find them.  

[01:08:41] Rich Chelson:

Oh, okay.  

[01:08:43] Bryan Goodwin:

So that's the that's the overall premise of the show.   And   then you have season 2,   season 3, and   see yeah. Season they're doing c they're   got most of season 4 out,   and then right before,   before they were supposed to be filming the last,   like, 3 episodes   of the last,   the last,   last of the last,   The Wuhan flu came along, and don't know if we're they're ever gonna actually finish the shit.   So Oh, okay.   But Sure. Up to that point, it's really  

[01:09:29] Rich Chelson:

good. I'll have to I'll have to look it up. Yeah. It's on Netflix.   Don't have Netflix, but I'll have to at least look it up and, you know,   see what you're talking about. Oh, yeah.   Yep. I'm still antiquated. I don't have Netflix or, you know, any of that other stuff. Hell, don't even have, Wi Fi.  

[01:09:55] Bryan Goodwin:

Or you do, but you just don't know how to use it?  

[01:09:58] Rich Chelson:

No. The only Wi Fi I have is my phone.   Or at least that has capabilities of being Wi Fi, I think.   I'm sure. I don't know. I don't use it.  

[01:10:14] Bryan Goodwin:

I'm old.   Old and That's alright. Dated.  

[01:10:20] Rich Chelson:

Maybe one day,   I'll buy a computer. Maybe. Maybe.   For what? I have no fucking clue.  

[01:10:28] Duuude-Ron :

You don't need a computer. You've got a tablet. You can do the same thing on a tablet, dude.  

[01:10:35] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. I need a new tablet. Mine freaking   yeah.   Mine is the probably   the cheapest of the cheapest of the cheap   tablets, and it   yeah. It it definitely shows it. I don't have a, you know,   Samsung or or, you know, Apple   type   tablet.  

[01:10:58] Duuude-Ron :

Dude, I've got a one back 7 inch special that that works.  

[01:11:02] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. Mine just the the one that I got from T T Mobile for free, I don't even know the name of it. It just fucking   lags   badly.   So one day I'll,   you know, acquire a quicker   tablet.   Yeah. We got a lot of shit to talk about, don't we?   I think we've   fucking   you know, I think we've done freaking talked ourselves out, kind of, haven't we?  

[01:11:43] Bryan Goodwin:

No. Nope. Not in the least.  

[01:11:46] Duuude-Ron :

Oh, okay.   Yeah.  

[01:11:49] Bryan Goodwin:

We we got all sorts of good stuff to talk about.  

[01:11:53] Duuude-Ron :

Oh, yeah. Something else that that I had wrote down on my list.   Yeah. With this cold weather, you know?  

[01:12:03] Rich Chelson:

Yes. I know.  

[01:12:07] Duuude-Ron :

Well, you see, when I moved down here,   last year,   I thought, oh, shit. I'm good. You know? I just I didn't need a light jacket. I'd be all good. So   I got rid of my thermals. I got rid of my insulated babies.   I got I got rid of all my winter gear,   And I kept one Coke,   and it's not even a heavy Coke.   But,   yeah, I got a feeling by next year, I'm I'm gonna have thermals again.  

[01:12:40] Rich Chelson:

You'll have a Carhartt bib overalls and a Carhartt,   you know, insulated jacket and  

[01:12:48] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah.   Oh, yeah.   Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I I I learned I learned very quickly, you know, because I thought when I was down here, surely, I'm not gonna need this stuff.   You know? I mean, you know, insulated babies were rated down for, you know, 25, 30 below.   And yeah. So, yeah, I learned I learned, like, yeah. No. This   that just doesn't work too well.  

[01:13:13] Rich Chelson:

And see now that your blood is so thin,   your bib overalls are, you know, rated to 40 degrees.  

[01:13:22] Duuude-Ron :

Right.  

[01:13:23] Rich Chelson:

Because that 40 degrees   feels like negative   40 degrees.  

[01:13:28] Duuude-Ron :

Oh, man. I'm telling you. It you know, that's how I sit here thinking about it. It's like it's like it's cold, but   with me living as close as I am to the gulf,   I'm like, fuck. It feels like a whole lot colder, you know.  

[01:13:45] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. You're getting the you're getting all that humidity from the gulf.   Yep.   And, of course, it's gonna be colder.  

[01:13:53] Duuude-Ron :

Say I wasn't I wasn't expecting all that,   You know? I I   I I did not have that information.   I do now.  

[01:14:05] Rich Chelson:

You you definitely do have that knowledge now.   Yes. I do. And and The knowledge that you're gonna save up a couple of dollars and buy yourself some fucking biv overalls and a heavy jacket   Yeah. For next season   Yes, sir. When it gets down to 40 degrees.   And it is   damn cold out.   Yes. At 40 degrees.   Shit, I remember being over in Iraq   and at 80 degrees   Uh-huh. It was fucking cold   at 80 degrees.  

[01:14:38] Duuude-Ron :

Well, yeah. You were used to what? A 130   during the day?  

[01:14:43] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. The average was a 125,   but because   when the sun went down,   it you talk about an extra 50 degrees   difference in temperature in a short amount of time, 80 degrees   was cold.  

[01:15:00] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah.   Yeah. I've heard that from, from, people that, that live in the desert and stuff.  

[01:15:08] Rich Chelson:

Uh-huh.  

[01:15:09] Duuude-Ron :

56 degrees. They've   they've got a, you know, almost a winter coat on.  

[01:15:15] Rich Chelson:

Yep.   Yeah. Just because the heat   dissipates so quickly,   your body can't adjust to it.  

[01:15:22] Duuude-Ron :

Right.  

[01:15:24] Rich Chelson:

Yep. Yeah. It was an average of 50 degree   temperature change in as soon as the sun went down   within a few hours.  

[01:15:34] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. I definitely would be,   having my cold weather gear with me then because that's   that's a hell of a drop that quick.   Yeah. Mhmm. You know?   And and something else,   this past week when I was,   editing   the podcast and getting it up on What?   Pod Home and everything.  

[01:15:58] Bryan Goodwin:

Uh-huh.  

[01:15:59] Duuude-Ron :

Mhmm. On the transcript,   and I don't know why because I go in and put,   the speakers.   And   normally, it goes Brian, me, and then dude pops in.   And so so I put Brian first because when it does a transcript,   it it   put y'all's name   Right. By the paragraph. And and it doesn't always get it right. Okay?  

[01:16:25] Bryan Goodwin:

But No. It doesn't.  

[01:16:27] Duuude-Ron :

But, you know, it's, you know, close enough, you know. It's like, I'm not gonna sit here and spend 10 hours   trying to fix every little detail, you know. But it was funny because   I had gone and put   everybody's name   as it normally goes.   But when I went back to the transcript,   dude,   Podholme was loving you   because   it seemed like every paragraph,   it had dude's name. Dude's name. Dude's name. And I'm like, or or dude said this, you know, in the transcript.   You know, I'm like,   no. Brian said that. And I'm sitting there, you know, making a few changes after a while. I'm like, fuck this. I'm like, just whatever.   Because, dude,   it it said,   you was talking about   your son when actually Brian was talking about Jaden.  

And,   it said that you were talking about my property taxes.   Wow. Yeah. That's AI for you. That's AI for you. But, I mean, I mean, normally, it does,   normally, it does great.   You know? Oh, okay.   No. No. Normally,   believe it or not, AI gets it right   most of the damn time. Most of the time.   You know, every once in a while, they'll they'll misspell a word or   get a few words. But this is the first time where   now,   dude, you have a son that you were talking about in last week's episode   and your property taxes that   that,   got paid.  

You know? Wow.  

[01:18:14] Rich Chelson:

Damn. I guess I'm   quite quite popular and famous with AI.   I guess, I guess, love me.  

[01:18:22] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. No. It was it was just funny when I saw it. I was just laughing. I was like,   yeah. No. As far as I know, dude doesn't have a son. And it didn't know how to spell my name either.   Yeah. Oh, no. I know. And and I do I do I do make a few changes on that. But,   yeah, if I was to go through   the whole 3 hour long transcript   and and   change your name every time.  

[01:18:49] Bryan Goodwin:

That'd be be days.  

[01:18:52] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. I would. I'd I'd be like, okay. I'm good for, you know, and, you know, I've gone maybe 20 minutes and I'm like, okay. I'm done for the day. I can't do it.  

[01:19:02] Rich Chelson:

Right. You know, and by that time, they,   you know,   they know whose voice belongs to who.  

[01:19:10] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah.   But, yeah, like I said, normally, AI gets it right. And and I don't know if you noticed, but but on Android   now, Brian, I don't know if, if, you can do this with Siri.   Hang on a second.   Sure.   I don't talk to Siri either  

[01:19:36] Rich Chelson:

or the other lady. What's her name? You got Siri and you got the other one.  

[01:19:44] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. Alexa.  

[01:19:45] Rich Chelson:

Alexa.   Yeah. Nope. Don't talk to either one of those.   If I truly wanna know the answer, I'll just look it up my damn self. I don't need her to look it up.  

[01:19:57] Bryan Goodwin:

Right.  

[01:19:59] Duuude-Ron :

Sorry about that. My phone was ringing.   It was dusty.   Oh. My nephew. So I just I just said denied.   I'll call him back later.   But no,   no. Believe it or not. And and, dude,   you probably have this on your phone.   It's it's, Gemini because that's that's the new thing by Google.   Right? Right.   And Okay.   Yeah. You can look on your phone and see an icon that says Gemini. And if you push it, it's like it's just like Siri,   and it's included in the phone. But, actually, Gemini   can act as   there's a live feature of, Gemini.   Okay? And you can actually talk to it   and converse   with it   like   we do.  

Like   me, you, and Brian.   Right.   You can converse with with, Gemini and you can change a voice.   It can be a male voice,   female's voice, different male voice, or different female's voice or whatnot.   Is actually kinda freaking scary because   it can understand the way I talk   and hold a conversation with me. It it's it's like, oh my god.   You know?   Yeah.  

[01:21:31] Rich Chelson:

I'm sorry. I don't doubt it, but you I don't doubt it   whatsoever, but you know,   shit, our phone's spying on us spy on us enough as it is.  

[01:21:42] Duuude-Ron :

But, dude,   dude,   you know,   they're gonna spy regardless, so why not just say fuck it and use it?   I mean, I mean, your phone is gonna get the information it wants when it wants it.  

[01:22:00] Rich Chelson:

Well, yeah.  

[01:22:01] Duuude-Ron :

I mean, seriously, it is.   So   either   throw your phone away   and walk away from your phone.   Okay,   or   just   enjoy it. You know? Enjoy   the different apps on the phone.  

[01:22:19] Rich Chelson:

Yeah.  

[01:22:21] Duuude-Ron :

I mean, seriously, that's that's just that's the way I look at it because I know I know for a fact my phone   records everything I says   I say. And how I say it,   what it does with the information,   you know, that's out of my control.   They're gonna do what they want with it. So you know what? I'm gonna enjoy some of these fucking apps.   I'm not gonna   be scared.   Oh my god. Someone might  

[01:22:49] Rich Chelson:

someone might Oh, I, you know. If they're if they wanna listen to my conversation,   you know, more power to them. It's not like I'm giving out secret, you know, top secret information.   You know?   Sure. You know?   Listen to my conversation. I don't give a shit.   If you don't like what I have to say, then if you don't like what I have to say, then, gee, don't listen.  

[01:23:15] Duuude-Ron :

Right. But   but the thing is,   why   why not,   you know,   why say, well well, I won't use this app or I won't use this app because of this.   Fuck it. They're gonna find out anyway. Go ahead and use it.   You know?   Yeah. Yeah.  

[01:23:37] Rich Chelson:

Oh, I completely understand what you're saying.  

[01:23:40] Duuude-Ron :

You know, that's, I mean, that's that's where I'm at on it. So that's why and and I've used it a couple times.   I gotta say, I   I kinda really like it. It's almost scary though because,   you know, I've got a female's voice that I talk to.   Uh-huh.   It sounds like you're talking to a fucking female.   I mean, like like a live person.   It sounds like Oh. Because   yeah. It's yeah. It is not robotic at all. And   and, like,   I was I was asking it some questions the other day,   and then,   it it it just it just got conversational,   totally conversational.  

You know, it's like it's like, you know, do you have any plans for today?   And I said, yeah, I don't know.   Hadn't thought that far ahead yet.   You know? I'm like and and I was like, what are some ideas?   The damn voice came back and   seriously, damn voice came back, gave me a list of, like, 6 different things   that I could do at the house.   I was like, that's freaking weird.   I mean, it was cold, but it was Clean.   In time.  

[01:25:03] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. Clean the house. Do your laundry.  

[01:25:06] Duuude-Ron :

Oh, no. No. No. No. This was this was fun stuff to do.   Fun stuff. Yeah. I I mean,   I gotta say Google,   I don't know what they're using.   Yes. I know they are using a large language model,   but   they've made it, yeah, damn near personable.   I'm talking damn near. And and also what it does too,   it it writes it out.   So after you're done talking, if you forgot   what was said, you can go back and read the transcript   of   your conversation.  

[01:25:51] Bryan Goodwin:

Wow.  

[01:25:53] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. Seriously.   Yeah. Fails.   Look for it on your phone. It's named Gemini.   Okay. Brian, I'm not I'm not sure if Siri can do that yet.  

[01:26:05] Bryan Goodwin:

No. Well, it's not won't be able to tie tie it in. If you use AI, which   funny enough, I think, I think Adam Curry has,   has   nailed down what AI actually means,   and that is anonymous Indian.   So,  

[01:26:26] Duuude-Ron :

okay.   So Indian or feather Indian?  

[01:26:29] Bryan Goodwin:

Indian with a dot.   Okay.   Because that's where they send all the, all the unknowns. They'll send all the all that information over to India,   to data center in India, and they used to have the Indian the guys and gals there look through and go, okay. This is what what they're wanting to know. So, yeah, AI is anonymous Indian. But you have Apple,   Apple AI, which and   and,   and I really haven't I don't play with Siri all that much except for,   at the random time when I need her to set a,   set a timer for me.   So   Okay. Well, I don't do conversation. But, you know, I've I've messed around with Gemini, and I wasn't impressed with Gemini. I've messed around with, with   the only, with, Chatt GPT. And was not impressed with Chatt GPT? I mean, it if you get if you're doing the prop jockey   stuff, yeah, you can get some information out of there. You can get, you know, a good   surface area   reply out of it.  

But,   I mean, Claude, I I like Claude a little better.  

[01:27:34] Duuude-Ron :

Right.  

[01:27:36] Bryan Goodwin:

Because I and I think it's just because they I think they purposely stick a little bit of snark into them.   Because, let's see here. I've got, where's my AI? There's AI.   So if I pull up the Claude app,   continue with Google, continue.   Yes. That's me.  

[01:27:55] Duuude-Ron :

Well, if I'm sitting here asking someone a question   or or asking AI a question   and and then asking following up questions, the last thing I want is snark.   Because I'll be like, motherfucker, you   you you ass out.   I mean,   I'm sorry. I asked a question because I didn't know. I didn't need to be told I'm a dumbass.   I already know.  

[01:28:21] Bryan Goodwin:

I mean No. I'll, yeah. I'll show you what I mean. Here, let me   you mean couldn't find, like, you're an idiot. You can't.  

[01:28:31] Duuude-Ron :

No, I just, I just, I just thought it was cool. Cause cause you know, I had saw, I had saw Gemini,   pop up on my phone because it's, you know, part of the Google,   ecosystem.   And,   I did try it for a long time, and then I was texting.   And then and then when I went to,   my,   somehow, I had   I didn't wanna type. So I so I hit the speaker button,   and it says set up voice.   And I'm like, what? And it had all all these different voices.   So I found one that I like to listen to   and then it popped up, says, hi, I'm Gemini.   What would you like to know? Or or   or what what would you like to talk about or something? And I'm like, what?  

And then and then   it paused   and waited for me to answer.   And and then it it sat there and told it to me. In fact in fact, when when, I was doing my,   my my,   mask. Right?  

[01:29:46] Rich Chelson:

Uh-huh.  

[01:29:47] Duuude-Ron :

I was running through some ideas in my head,   And so I was like, shit. Let me ask Gemini.   I popped up Gemini.   I'm sitting there. I dude, I'm sitting there having a fucking ham radio discussion complete with fucking,   math equations   and and everything like this and and what the safe way to do things is. I sat there and had a conversation   with freaking Gemini over this.   And, I mean, yeah, basically,   the way I was thinking was was, you know, the safe way, but I was double checking to make sure because I was Uh-huh. To shorten my my distance from my mask, but, you know, for the,   guidelines.  

But, yeah.   I mean, I sat there and had a conversation   with freaking Gemini for,   got a good 20 minutes.   And and then   in that time frame,   I asked probably about   8 or 9 different questions   because I'd get the answer to 1. It would cause more questions.   So I threw them out.   And then   it it all freaking flowed and coordinated. And I'm just like, wow. That's pretty fucking cool.   I can sit here and talk.   And and   because sometimes typing,   my brain,   I get lost.   If I can sit here and talk   and then, you know, explain out and then and then as I'm getting the answer, more questions are being thought of and then   it listen. Once it's done talking, it listens for more   for more speech.  

Right. And it does contextual replies and things like that. Yeah. And as I'm like I'm like and and I'm sitting here and, you know, I'm sitting here following   what what freaking Gemini was saying, you know. It's like, yeah. Yeah. Okay. That's right. That's right. You know? And, I mean, it was like us having a conversation.   You know? I'm I'm just like, wow. This is pretty fucking cool.   It's crazy.   You know?   I was blown away by it, to be honest with   you. To sit there   to sit there and have a technical   conversation   and have it understand   my questions the way I speak.  

I didn't have to change the way I speak   or or the way I say things, and it understood   everything I asked.  

[01:32:27] Bryan Goodwin:

Right.  

[01:32:28] Duuude-Ron :

I was I, honestly, I was   I was actually,   shocked.   Okay?   Yeah.   I mean   now what was he gonna say about Quad?  

[01:32:54] Bryan Goodwin:

I've been trying to get it to pull up, and I don't know if they've got something going on or my it's my phone or   the app or or what. So I've been sitting there trying it'll come up, but it'll it'll get up to alright. Sign in, and then yeah. Yeah. We're just gonna hang out here for a couple of days and   try to log in and  

[01:33:15] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. It kinda reminds you of that kinda reminds you of AOL.   I bet.  

[01:33:21] Bryan Goodwin:

There we go. Now it finally kicked in. So I could say something like,   alright.   Pretend   you   are a   life   coach who  

[01:33:40] Duuude-Ron :

helps   men   with,   troubled   marriages.  

[01:33:56] Bryan Goodwin:

I didn't do it that time because you what it sometimes whenever I'll I'll do something like that so I can get, like,   ideas for questions   or or titles and stuff like that. Right. It'll be like, alright. Well, let me go ahead and take out the my my coaching hat, put it on, and, or,   see what's another one. Alright. Let's see.   Okay.   See. That'd be funny.   You   are a  

[01:34:29] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. I see. I do. That  

[01:34:31] Bryan Goodwin:

is  

[01:34:33] Rich Chelson:

frustrated   with   his   relationship.  

[01:34:40] Duuude-Ron :

I do use,   chat GPT   4,   but I mean, it it works,   But   I   I kinda,   like,   I, say a Gemini better.   Just because it just because of the voice,   I guess. Right.   Yeah. Seriously, because I can I can actually actually talk, you   know? I don't I don't have to be so   scientific,   you know, with,   with, Gemini.  

[01:35:19] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. Have you tried, Perplexity AI's,   search engine?  

[01:35:25] Duuude-Ron :

No. I haven't.  

[01:35:27] Bryan Goodwin:

That's an interesting search engine, and that's actually a kinda thing the direction they're gonna go.  

[01:35:33] Duuude-Ron :

Who?  

[01:35:36] Bryan Goodwin:

With, perplexity.   Like, in perplexity where they're using AI   to provide   answers to you.  

[01:35:45] Duuude-Ron :

Okay.   Perfect.   So is this   well, is this based on,   CHED GPT or   on its own thing?  

[01:35:59] Bryan Goodwin:

Not a 100%. Let's see if I can find out.  

[01:36:02] Duuude-Ron :

Here. Hang on.   Just because it it's I mean   oh,   okay. Okay.   Conversational   search, which I like that.   Because this way here, I can   type like I   normally do. Right.  

[01:36:25] Bryan Goodwin:

But see, you'll notice that as you give answers so, like, I did a search. Why do people put their wives on, on a pedestal?   And,   I have quite a few I actually get,   responses   from   or, or hits from perplexity,   centered around,   putting the men, putting their wives on a pedestal.   And what it says is like, people put their wives on pedestals due to several psychological and emotional reasons, isolation and, perception.   And it goes through there, and it gives you footnote numbers, like, 12.   Mhmm. And so you can actually scroll   and see   what the sources are. The sources, relaxed mail, relate foundation, Reddit,   YouTube. Okay.  

So,   like, source number 1 is Relaxed Mail. My site, take your, take your woman off the pedestal.   Right. Number 2 is,   Relate Foundation. Number 3 is a Reddit, post. Number 4 is a Reddit post.   And number 5 is a, is a YouTube,   episode of, men put their wives,   on on a pedestal by Jordan Peterson.  

[01:37:40] Duuude-Ron :

Right. Which which, you know, that's that's actually cool when it says the references   where Yeah. Where it finds this stuff at because this way, you know, because   you don't get the full answer,   you know, from,   you know,   you get the answer from   different sources.   And there's these guys are saying,   here, here's the footnotes.   You can go read the whole article or watch the whole video if you want. Right.   And and see, that's cool. I like that. Now   take that   and   make it to where you can talk to it   and actually just talk to it.  

[01:38:24] Bryan Goodwin:

So,   if you look on there, there's a press to hold,   or or there is a,   a   over on the,   on the,   the   ask anything bar,   there's actually a little,   wave sign that you can hit.   So oh, access speed recognition.  

[01:38:46] Rich Chelson:

Allow access. Well, is that on the app?  

[01:38:49] Bryan Goodwin:

I guess so. Yeah.  

[01:38:51] Duuude-Ron :

Okay. Because because,   I'm on the,   the website   Uh-huh. Just because I'm sitting at my computer.   Right. No. It I don't I don't see that, but I'm not saying it ain't.   You know?   Because I don't have the app, but you see that Let's let's see what we get here.  

[01:39:12] Bryan Goodwin:

What is oh, nope. An error occurred. It's not gonna let me. So what I was gonna ask is what is their speed velocity of an unlaid and swallow?  

[01:39:26] Duuude-Ron :

Hang on.   I gotta ask that question.   I   I I have got to ask that question. Hang on a second. And I'm gonna ask perplexity.   What is   the velocity?   Air speed velocity.   Oh, wait. Hang hang on. Let me get it right.   Because I wanna know.   Air speed velocity   of an unladen?  

[01:39:53] Bryan Goodwin:

I have an unladen swallow.  

[01:39:59] Duuude-Ron :

That just that just sounds   like so wrong.  

[01:40:02] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, what's what it is is it's a it's a it's a   it's a Monty Python skit.  

[01:40:10] Duuude-Ron :

Okay. Well,   here's   here's here's what   it come up with.   The average cruising air speed velocity of an unladen   European   swallow   is approximately   11 meters per second or 24 miles per   hour. The estimate is based on detailed calculations   involving   wing beat frequency,   amplitude,   and the struthall number,   which is a which is a dimensionless   value   used to describe   oscillating   flow mechanisms.  

[01:40:45] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, and because and it's   Oh my god. They used to   and Google used to actually   do the proper answer   because you'd put it on there. And what would come up next is African or European.   Oh, wow. Because in, in Monty Python,   and the holy grail,   when the when king Arthur and,   and his knights show up at,   at the gate at at the bridge keepers,   scene,   and they have to answer questions 3.  

[01:41:20] Rich Chelson:

Yeah.  

[01:41:21] Bryan Goodwin:

They,   one of the guys gets tripped up. It's like, what   is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?   And the guy one guy says, I don't know. And,   then king Arthur comes up and goes, what? And and he gets asked the same question. What is the airspeed velocity of   unladen swallow? And king Arthur goes, African or European? And the and the gatekeeper says, I don't know, and then he gets thrown off off the cliff because that's what happens.   And so and that's the that's the whole joke is that,   that he, the king   answered a question with another question and tripped the, tripped the the riddler up. But it's but you can you can look it up. Just look up airspeed velocity of an unlaid swallow Monty Python, and it'll it'll show you the, the scene, which is amazing. Because you you have to you have to like you have to like Monty Python,   dude.  



[01:42:21] Rich Chelson:

I do like Monty Python. Hey.  

[01:42:24] Bryan Goodwin:

Alright. Okay. You're starting to get you're starting to earn points back. Good to hear. Wow. I have I have seen  

[01:42:31] Rich Chelson:

the  

[01:42:32] Bryan Goodwin:

holy grail. Holy grail, life of Brian?  

[01:42:36] Rich Chelson:

Nope. Haven't seen that.  

[01:42:39] Duuude-Ron :

Life? Nope. Yeah. I haven't seen none of them, but Oh, good. But   yeah.  

[01:42:46] Bryan Goodwin:

Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Look. Look. Well Yeah. The we're gonna we're gonna have the, I guess we're just gonna have to go get a a projector   and a large white sheet.   And,   yeah, we're gonna have to spend a week watching nothing but freaking movies out in the backyard over Rich's house.  

[01:43:07] Duuude-Ron :

Hey. Let's do it.   But,   y'all,   check the chat,   and y'all can see the mathematical   equation   of how to   find out the air speed.  

[01:43:22] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, I'll see if I'm not light swab.  

[01:43:24] Duuude-Ron :

It I found it, dude. I found it.  

[01:43:28] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, is it African or European?  

[01:43:31] Duuude-Ron :

Doesn't say, man. It does not specify.  

[01:43:34] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, see, there you go. You just got tossed off the bridge.  

[01:43:38] Duuude-Ron :

But, hey, I found   I found   a mathematical equation.   I don't understand it for nothing, but   understand the square root, the plus, and and the division.   But yeah.   No. I don't yeah.  

[01:43:57] Bryan Goodwin:

Velocity   equals,   air speed,  

[01:44:02] Duuude-Ron :

by the square root of 5 and Yeah. But there's a 0 by the air speed, dude. So what does that mean? It's it's lower.  

[01:44:09] Bryan Goodwin:

It's see, I can't remember what that what that actually is supposed to be. So Say that I I didn't pay attention to math. I I I went to Sunrun High School.  

[01:44:19] Duuude-Ron :

See, I didn't take I didn't take,   algebra.   Believe it or not, I did not take algebra, but I wind up using more algebra   nowadays than I ever have.   It's crazy.  

[01:44:37] Rich Chelson:

How's that?  

[01:44:39] Duuude-Ron :

Ham radio.  

[01:44:40] Rich Chelson:

Oh, yeah. Okay.   That's what I was gonna say was it does it involve your ham radio?  

[01:44:47] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. Yeah. I use I use more algebra   and actually the more of the metric system than I ever thought I would.  

[01:45:01] Rich Chelson:

Okay.  

[01:45:03] Duuude-Ron :

Oh, yeah. Believe me. It's I that's why I use CHAD I refuse to believe you.   No. That's why I used,   CHAD GPT, Gemini,   all these others because,   you know, some of the math,   you know, if I was to look at the formula, I'm like, yeah. I don't quite get it.   So   so I use them to break the math down a little easier into where I can understand it better. Some of, you know,   some of the math, like figuring out the length of an antenna   And,   you know, stuff like that, I can figure out pretty quick   just because I'm used to it.   But, yeah, some of the new   the new formulas that I run into,   yeah, I use   the AI to to help me break it down.  



[01:45:59] Rich Chelson:

So is it the formula of how to set up your antenna, or is it   for frequencies   or what?  

[01:46:09] Duuude-Ron :

No. What do you mean? Or the  

[01:46:12] Rich Chelson:

your all the   algebra that you're using.   So just for your   antenna setup  

[01:46:22] Duuude-Ron :

or   well, yeah. Well, that that to find out,   you know, find out the ohmage   of,   my antennas and stuff like that. That's all algebra.   Oh, okay. And it uses the metrics   system on top of it. So it's like, damn. Bam. Bam.   You know? Oh, okay.   So yeah. And and like and like a lot of calculations I do are in meters,   you know, and centimeters and millimeters. And I've gotta break those down to,   feet and inches.  

[01:47:03] Rich Chelson:

Alrighty then.  

[01:47:05] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah.   So,   I mean, I've gotten a lot better,   but I'm still   not proficient   in,   like, centimeters and millimeters and stuff like that.  

[01:47:21] Rich Chelson:

Well, you need to get your proficiencies  

[01:47:27] Duuude-Ron :

one day, maybe.   I don't know yet.   No. I will, eventually.  

[01:47:34] Rich Chelson:

One day, but not today and tomorrow is not looking much better.  

[01:47:39] Duuude-Ron :

That's right.  

[01:47:41] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah.  

[01:47:42] Duuude-Ron :

Because it's so cold, my brain doesn't work.  

[01:47:46] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. I had a freaking migraine about all week long because of this fucking   weather.  

[01:47:52] Duuude-Ron :

I couldn't believe it, dude.  

[01:47:55] Rich Chelson:

Yeah.  

[01:47:56] Duuude-Ron :

Because, yeah, that's that's just rough.   Yeah. Yeah. Seriously. Seriously, if you've got Gemini on your phone, try it. Bring it up and just   and just set it up, you know, find you a voice   that is pleasing to your ear  

[01:48:11] Bryan Goodwin:

and just Yeah. Well, I've got the Gemini app on on the phone. So  

[01:48:15] Duuude-Ron :

Okay. But yeah. Yeah. Set that up and then talk to it.   And, I mean,   like I said, it's fucking scary   because, the, the, female's voice I have,   it it's like, you know, you could actually almost get lost   in the thinking you're talking to a real person.   That's how   that's how conversational   they are.  

[01:48:43] Bryan Goodwin:

Wow.   Yeah. What was the name of that damn movie?   See, Joaquin Phoenix?  

[01:48:54] Rich Chelson:

I don't know. They've only made like about a trillion movies in the last 100   years. So   take your pick, I guess.  

[01:49:03] Bryan Goodwin:

Star Wars.   Hers. Hers. The name of the movie. Yeah.   Who is it? It's called her.   Okay. I don't know. And, it starts walking Phoenix,   but the,   he gets a   a,   an AI device   to have a virtual companion with,   and the voice of the the voice that does the virtual companion is Scarlett Johansson.  

[01:49:31] Duuude-Ron :

Okay.  

[01:49:32] Bryan Goodwin:

And they have this all they have this little relationship and stuff and and all it goes through the whole process. And, eventually, she becomes so advanced that she ends up leaving us ask for another computer.  

[01:49:44] Duuude-Ron :

Oh, yes. I've seen this movie.  

[01:49:48] Bryan Goodwin:

Yes. You're all like, oh, that's sad.  

[01:49:52] Duuude-Ron :

Oh, and and and see So I  

[01:49:55] Rich Chelson:

take it as relationship is purely platonic.  

[01:49:58] Bryan Goodwin:

It becomes purely   platonic because, yeah, there's   there's no way to to to do the old old,   to play hide the baloney. So  

[01:50:07] Rich Chelson:

Right. I mean The horizontal mambo. Horizontal mambo.  

[01:50:12] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. No. I see. Boat to tuna town.   Yeah.   Yeah. I did. I did. I did watch this movie,   what, last week or week 4 last?   And,   I was   I was just like, oh my god. I didn't even think about it   because   with this gym and I have   oh, shit. Dusty.   Okay. Hang on a sec.   No.   It's not that. But, yeah, no. I watched this and and I didn't even put 22 together. And then   just thinking about it, though,   this could be almost almost scary if if, Google   lets, Gemini,   go. You know what I mean?  

[01:51:11] Bryan Goodwin:

Right.  

[01:51:13] Duuude-Ron :

Because,   yeah.   For real.   You know, think about it.   Guys that have been single for freaking ever,   lonely. Just wanting someone to talk to. They already have virtual girls  

[01:51:28] Bryan Goodwin:

AI and they will, they will have all sorts of   fucking SIMPS. I tell you, man,   They ruin everything thing in the on the Internet.   But, yeah, you can you can get a, you can get a virtual girl   girlfriend, and she'll   she'll talk as dirty to you as you want her to.  

[01:51:49] Duuude-Ron :

But that's the thing, though. What if,   you know, you know, what if you don't want the dirty talk except for once in a while?  

[01:51:59] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, you can set that. I mean, you can   through the conversations,   I'll just  

[01:52:05] Duuude-Ron :

see if I can find it. Hey. Get back here. I mean, I've I've seen I've seen many different app different apps that said have a virtual girlfriend and shit like this. I've seen them,   you know. And and there was one I looked at, and   honestly, it didn't impress me.   Now this was about a year, a year and a half ago, but Right.   You know, I so I don't know what   you know,   if they've come,   you know, very far since then.  

[01:52:42] Bryan Goodwin:

See.   Stay by spot, miss.  

[01:52:51] Duuude-Ron :

But see, honestly, this is what,   if you ask me, this is what women have to worry about today   a lot.   Because,   you know, when,   you know, if a woman wants to push men away, that's fine.   Men are gonna find something,   you know,   to, take their place. And then when women say, oh, we want men again,   you know, it's   they might not be there.  

[01:53:28] Bryan Goodwin:

Yep.   Yeah. Well, I'm trying to find this deal. I'm sorry.  

[01:53:33] Duuude-Ron :

No. That's fine. That's fine. I was just, you know, I was just saying.   But, yeah, it's,   I I can't remember.   Let's see. Was it?   I think it was on on Amazon Prime when I watched it. I didn't have to pay for it,   though.   But, yeah, it was it was different. It was a different movie.   But, yeah, it was a it was an,   say, an operating system   on your computer.   And it and it and it had a separate phone   that, had a camera on it.   And so   and and it would switch between your computer and your phone.   And the camera, you could, you know, show   the   person,   the the operating system   where you were at and stuff like that.  

Yeah. It was I was like, oh, wow. That's crazy.   I was like, that's really crazy.   See, that's why that's why,   you know, if robots   ever get to be more   human like,   I hope I'm married because   I would probably fall for 1.   I don't know, though.   I would I would like to think that I'm,   above that.  

[01:55:07] Bryan Goodwin:

Right.  

[01:55:09] Duuude-Ron :

You know?   But time will tell.   So, dude, what do you think about all this?  

[01:55:21] Rich Chelson:

You know?   Yeah. I I understand the aspect of   loneliness   and wanting to have a,   you know, companion just to talk to.   Yeah, would be nice. And   but, yeah, as far as what you just said about   how women want to  

[01:55:48] Bryan Goodwin:

equality,  

[01:55:50] Rich Chelson:

you know, they're pushing   men away because   for the most part,   men that have common sense   know exactly what,   you know, they're looking for. And   you got somebody that just, you know, wants to take over everything. It's like, you know what?   Go right ahead. They ain't gonna be with me.  

[01:56:13] Duuude-Ron :

Right. Well, and see, that's the thing with women nowadays. It's it's not so much equality.   It's it's the fact that, well, it's it's the media and the woke   and the liberals and all like that.   You know, women are like, well, you know, we want this. We want that. Okay. You can have it. But but you see, the real guys   are just like,   yeah. Okay. Whatever. You know? Have   it. You know? More power to you.   You just   won't have it with me. You know? Yep.   Yep.  

[01:56:48] Rich Chelson:

You know, it's Very much so.  

[01:56:50] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. I mean, I mean, it's it's not it's   it's it's   not an anger thing or anything, but, you know,   some people will,   take it wrong and try and make it,   you know, make it,   make it a thing.  

[01:57:12] Rich Chelson:

You know, like, thing I saw,   again, on Facebook   that, you know,   wires ask the husband, what do you want for Christmas?   And what are most   guys saying?   I don't want anything. For Christmas.   Yeah. Because if you want something during the year,   you're just gonna go out and get what you want,   and Christmas is   totally irrelevant.  

[01:57:43] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. But you see you see when your wife ask you that or girlfriend ask you that,   saying I don't want anything is actually the wrong thing to say   because Well.   No. No. Let me explain.   Okay? The reason I say it's the wrong thing to say   is because   a woman who loves you   wants to do something for you.   So,   you know, yeah, you might want a new bass boat. Okay. You know that's out of the question.   Ask her to get you something small because it's a small act,   you know, or give her, you know, 2 or 3 different choices. Let her pick.  

[01:58:25] Rich Chelson:

Uh-huh.  

[01:58:26] Duuude-Ron :

Because it makes her happy knowing that she's getting you something   that you want.  

[01:58:33] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah.   Okay. So so Well, that we also go off and wait until,   around   October.   At the middle of October, it becomes moratorium time. You can't buy shit for yourself   come October unless it's, you know, critical for for, you know, your work or something like that.   Right. But, you know, anything joyful or, you know, just to get because you think for shits and giggles type of stuff,   No.   You you you don't get that until,   until after the, after the New Year. You start anything you want, you what I do is I just start writing down   and,   and send over to a,   send a a list of of things over to over to Jana.  

And she could pull it up anytime she wants and look and see, oh, hey. He's added, you know, 3 different things.  

[01:59:26] Duuude-Ron :

And see, that's the thing. You know? And and you see, that's   you see, that's because girls like to get stuff for their guys that they love too,   you know, or the person that they love.   And so, oh, I don't want anything. I don't want anything.   You're actually doing more harm than good in a relationship.   You know, if you're broke, dirt poor, still   make, you know, make it something that's that's not an everyday thing that might be less than $5   because it's not the price that fucking matters.  

[02:00:04] Rich Chelson:

Oh, yeah.  

[02:00:06] Duuude-Ron :

You know, it's it's the thought. It's, you know, just the act   of   guilt. You know? Mhmm. That's where that's where actually a lot of guys fuck up   and have fucked up   our our whole lives.   You know, we're like, yeah. We, you know,   we're fine. We don't want nothing. We can go buy anything we want.   You know? No. Don't do that.  

[02:00:33] Bryan Goodwin:

Nope. You don't do that after.   Yeah. Like There's certain things if you think your wife would like to get and you happen to notice that and that's something you really don't actually need to have, but you really really like to have it,   Go ahead and set it off to the set that desire off to the side.   And, yeah, just mention that as a, hey. For for my birthday,   would like to have this. And  

[02:01:02] Rich Chelson:

Well, yeah. And like you did were just saying,   you know, something under $5. Well,   a back rub,   that'll cost a dime.  

[02:01:14] Duuude-Ron :

Right. But, okay, you see, that's where that's where girls are a little different, and   they would rather spend a couple bucks   knowing that you really want that because a back rub, you can get it anytime.   Well,   maybe not at any time, but more often than not.   You can get a back rub.   Okay?   That's the thing, dude.   Hey. Girls and gifts   it's like a huge thing.   Mhmm.   Not so much with us.   We just   kinda force ourselves to do it because we have to.   You know?   Because if, you know, if it's guys, you know, we're just like, yeah. Fuck it.   I said   I said hi to you this morning, didn't I? Alright. I'm good. There's a lot of,   you know, girls, not so much. You know what I mean?  



[02:02:13] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. And, of course Yeah. Most most women, their their love language is   one of their love languages is gonna be gift giving of gifts.  

[02:02:23] Duuude-Ron :

Mhmm.   And and if it's you know, and and if you don't have much money, let her make you something.   Yeah. You know, she's into that. Or Uh-huh. Yeah. You know? Or it's just   you know, it don't have to be big. It don't have to be expensive.   But, yeah, Brian's right.   Most women's love language is the gift of giving,   not to get accolades.   They don't do it to get accolades.   They do it to show appreciation   to the people they love.  

[02:02:58] Rich Chelson:

Yeah.  

[02:02:59] Duuude-Ron :

So  

[02:03:01] Bryan Goodwin:

but also,   ah, shit. I was just good. It was right there. Just dribbled right out of mayor. Yeah.   Yeah. I love that. So anyhow,  

[02:03:12] Duuude-Ron :

it's, it's, it's hot.  

[02:03:15] Bryan Goodwin:

Nope. It was not gonna wait. There was like, oh, you should have said that 2 seconds ago. You're you're out of luck now, but but,   but now, I mean, yeah, women like to and want to have,   be able to have an opportune. Oh, I don't remember what it is now.   And if you have them make something for you,   use it.   Mhmm. Because that's one thing that   is it's not a sore spot with my wife,   but I went the, she went off and made me a, a finger crocheted blanket.   And, it's one of those really big chunky ones. It's really long. It's about the width for me, but I don't hardly ever use it because,   well, one, I've got freaking dogs that are in the in the,   that are in the in the,   the bed with me.  

So, and one of them loves to chew on sticks. And so I don't wanna get it, have it full of, of splinters and bits of wood and stuff. It's bad enough. My freaking bed's full of wood. So   I don't get, I don't use my, my really soft billowy crochet. It's basically it's an Afghan.   And,  

[02:04:29] Duuude-Ron :

Well, use it in the truck.  

[02:04:31] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, I do. I, from time to time, but at the same time, I don't want it to get dirty.   So I do use it, but it, but I don't use it as, as often and as, as much as I'm sure my wife wants me to.   Yeah. But, but at the same time, I,   if you're going to, if she does make something, use it and make sure she sees that you're using it.  

[02:04:55] Duuude-Ron :

Yes. I mean, not, not make a big old spectacle.  

[02:04:58] Unknown:

Right. No. I don't know. I'm using your blanket.   I you can see that I'm using your blanket so that I stay nice and warm. You know, nothing like that to be honest with you. Yeah. No. They  

[02:05:10] Duuude-Ron :

I don't think they'd like that too well.  

[02:05:14] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, my wife would she'd think and she would know that I was being a goofball. So  

[02:05:19] Duuude-Ron :

Right.   But, no, that's but, yeah, that's I mean,   we'll see. That's like, okay. Breezy, give me a a little stuffed bear.   I think a couple years ago for   for my birthday.   Or no. No. It's been longer than that. I've I've had that bear for quite a while.   I think 5 or 6 years ago.   Either way,   I still have that bear   because, I mean, it's I mean, the bear is not   6 inches tall.   You know? You know, if it costs $5, I'm shocked.   And but I've got it sitting on on my antique settee,   and   that's where it says. And Breezy will ask me about that bear every once in a while   and will ask me if I still have it. Yes, honey. I do.  

And and wherever I have it, I'll take a picture of it, and I'll send it to her.   You know, and Breezy knows that Oncom still has that bear. I still have the coffee cup she give me. You know, I mean, yeah, it wasn't much, but, I mean, for me, it was fucking great. I love the coffee cup.   But, yeah, Breezy still ask about it. This is how girls are.   Young or old, it don't matter. It's it I think it's bred into them, to be honest with you.   You know, from from   the time they're conceived   as if it's a girl,   this is what you have to do.   And if you don't, they ain't gonna be happy.  

And they never get out of it.   Hell,   I still have   a and I can't seem to throw it away. I was thinking about it, but I can't   I can't bring myself to throw it away. It's a it's a little one of them,   plaster   little scenes of, you know, a cabin and a hunter and a deer, you know?   Yep. That that Britt and Brian got me.   Fuck. Oh, god. What? It's it's 10 years now.   I've had it for 10 years,   and I know they've   they've forgotten about it.   But I can't I can't bring myself to throw it away because I know I know if I do, Britt's gonna remember it and ask me if I still have it.   I can't I can't throw it away because   Britt gave it to me, you know. You know, Britt said, this is for me and Brian. They didn't have much money at the time.  

And, you know, again, if the thing cost $5, I'd be surprised.   But I don't care. You know, the price doesn't mean shit to me.   You know? It's the fact that   it was a gift.   So I keep it. I don't I don't have it up in the house yet, but I will put it up.   And one day when Britt and Brian come down, Britt will see that, and   Britt will probably say something about it. She's like, you still have that thing? Yep.   Because I know girls.   You don't throw the stuff away,   and you let them get you stuff   whether you need it or not.  

[02:08:40] Bryan Goodwin:

'Tis true. 'Tis true.  

[02:08:44] Duuude-Ron :

I mean, you would think with all this knowledge, I I've I've I've learned that   I would have a girlfriend by now, but   that part has escaped me.   But   when I do   find 1,   and I'll like this, at least I will know   what to   do, hopefully. Hopefully, I don't get stupid and forget everything.  

[02:09:13] Bryan Goodwin:

You won't.  

[02:09:16] Duuude-Ron :

I hope not.   But   there is   there is always that chance. You know?   The whole memory thing. You know? It just   some days are good. Some days are yeah.  

[02:09:32] Bryan Goodwin:

Not so much?  

[02:09:33] Duuude-Ron :

No. Not so much.   But,   yeah, there's something else I've been doing that   that I really haven't told anybody about.  

[02:09:46] Bryan Goodwin:

Oh, really? What else are you doing?   You're a you you're working for the CIA now, aren't you? Yeah. I'm a spook man. I thought you were. I know. Right? You were awful spooky.  

[02:09:57] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. I was being sneaky.  

[02:09:59] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. You got your you got your sneakers on,  

[02:10:02] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah, I do. Good. Good. But no, no, actually I've been, taking piano lessons.  

[02:10:09] Unknown:

Oh, that's cool.  

[02:10:10] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. Where'd you get a piano from? Are you just doing keyboard lessons?   Well well, it's I call them piano lessons, but, yeah, it's keyboard. Okay. No. There's nothing wrong with that. I mean, the only difference between piano and keyboard is that,   keyboards don't have the foot pedals.   Actually Or most keyboards don't have foot pedals.  

[02:10:33] Unknown:

Mine does. Does it really?  

[02:10:35] Duuude-Ron :

Mine came   mine came with the stand   the keyboard, the stand, and the pedals.  

[02:10:42] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, holy schnitzel.  

[02:10:43] Duuude-Ron :

So yeah. Yeah. I bought it from Guitar Center and,   they,   they they they give lessons,   and they're not bad. It's it's like   $27   a week, something like that.   And,   and, I've been   I've been learning how to play, you know?  

[02:11:08] Bryan Goodwin:

You okay?   Rich? Alright. Ron, you okay?  

[02:11:13] Rich Chelson:

Yeah. I'm good. Okay. I'm just listening.  

[02:11:17] Bryan Goodwin:

I was hearing something. I was, it sounded like you either stubbed your toe real bad and you were trying not to cry or something.  

[02:11:23] Rich Chelson:

No, no, I'm good.  

[02:11:26] Duuude-Ron :

Okay. That was weird. Cause yeah, I heard, I heard something too.  

[02:11:30] Bryan Goodwin:

I heard a.   I was like, oh, oh, shit.   We hail when we can't get out. But, you know  

[02:11:39] Rich Chelson:

No.   It wasn't   nope. Didn't come from this end.  

[02:11:44] Duuude-Ron :

Okay.  

[02:11:45] Rich Chelson:

I I don't know.  

[02:11:47] Duuude-Ron :

That's weird.   But, yeah, I've been   yeah. I can I can,   I've been working on, first Noel?   I can play the melody just fine,   but and and I can play the chords, but putting the chords with the melody,   I'm getting better, but that's a challenge.  

[02:12:09] Bryan Goodwin:

I believe it.  

[02:12:11] Duuude-Ron :

I've only been,   actually   taking lessons now for,   like, a month, little over a month. So   so I'm because,   and and   and and it's actually kinda cool because my teacher   is a college student.   He's a young kid named Ben.   Cool as shit.   Fucker stands taller than me and   he's   twice my size,   but nice guy.   Wants to be a composer.   That's cool. Yeah. And, he's, teaching me   how to play and sight read music.   You know, he's, teach me   a little bit of music theory   and and stuff like this. So, yeah, it's it's actually cool. I just love to sign up piano anyway.  

[02:13:06] Bryan Goodwin:

Right. No. It's   that's something I could I can pick out,   you know, the melodies of some songs.  

[02:13:14] Duuude-Ron :

Right.  

[02:13:15] Bryan Goodwin:

But,   but, yeah, that was the that was the furthest as they were able to go. So Right.  

[02:13:22] Duuude-Ron :

And the thing is, believe it or not, the chords   actually, the chords are really freaking easy.   Do you know do you know   in music   or with a piano, I think with all music, but   you just have to learn a through g.   That's it.   A, b, c, d, e, f, g. That's it. Yeah. And then it goes a, b, c, d, f, g. Yeah. And and   everything plays off that.   Now sometimes   you're going from a c to a g back to an a and then a b and a c or whatever, you know, depending on the song,   you know,   and then the chords   get mixed in there, but, you know.   And trying to teach your brain   to   let your   left hand   operate independently   of your right hand   Mhmm. And let your fingers operate   independently   at the same time, now that's a challenge.  

Right. I'm gonna tell you that's a fucking challenge because   my brain doesn't   wanna let go of that.   Right hand, I'm good. I'm I'm fine with just my right hand, but   but when I bring my left hand in,   it's like my brain just like, yo, dude. What Got it. Well, we're done with this one. Right. Right.   I'm   like, no, man. No.   We gotta do this. You know? Right. I I am I am getting better at it.   Some of the chords are well, depending on the time signature of the piece,   you know, some of the chords are a little challenging, but it's fun, though. And, I mean, I just love the sound too.  

[02:15:12] Bryan Goodwin:

Right.   Yeah. No. That's something I've always wanted to learn was, to actually learn the piano, but I've also wanted to learn the guitar and to play the banjo and   I mean, there's a lot of musical instruments I'd love to have learned. I mean, I was in high school.   I was I I played the trombone.   Hated the trombone. I wanted to play the saxophone,   but   so I was I was usually   out of the out of 7 of us, I was usually about   chair 6 or 7 because, well, I didn't give a shit.   So   but, Well,  

[02:15:53] Duuude-Ron :

see, the thing is, I mean, I mean, with,   with the piano,   you could start out with the piano and then, you know, go, you know, to guitar. You know you know, once you got the basics down,   like   because I found out something.   If you use a lead sheet,   which,   you can get a piano lead sheet.  

[02:16:17] Bryan Goodwin:

Right.  

[02:16:18] Duuude-Ron :

And that lead sheet,   I was told   by my teacher, Ben. He he said, with the lead sheet,   anybody with any instrument can   pick up this lead sheet   and either play the chords   or play the melody   or both.   But you see with, I guess, with other instruments,   they play mainly the chords   Right. Or in stuff like that. I mean, I don't know, but that's what he was saying.   But no. It's it's I mean,   I don't know.   But, yeah,   piano lessons are about the same as they've been for years, about $25   per half hour.   You know?   And they're not much more really for a full hour depending on where you go, I think.  

[02:17:17] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah.  

[02:17:23] Duuude-Ron :

So it is something you could learn.  

[02:17:26] Bryan Goodwin:

Oh, no. I agree. It's definitely something I could learn. I just   like I said, though, I mean,   I   I had basic   I mean, I could tell you that I could tell you where the c and the d and the e are. They're when you have the 2,   you have your 2 2 key, black keys that are together.   Mhmm.   The one on the far left hand side is the c, the d's the middle, and the e's the the the one onto the right.   So and that's that's about the only part of the keyboard that I fully still remember.   Well, if you keep going up from the e, it goes f g. Yeah. And then a, b, c, d, f. G, a, b, c, d, f, g. Don't worry me, fosselotido.   Don't worry me, fosselotido.  



[02:18:11] Duuude-Ron :

You've got you've got,   you know,   you've got more than what I had   when I took my first lesson.   You know? Because, you know, Ben asked me what I knew, and I was like, yeah, dude.   My mom gave me a couple half ass lessons when I was 12, and that's about it.   It's like, okay.   So and now I I mean, I I know where the notes are.   It's just trying to put everything together and read the music while I'm playing.   That's a challenge.  

[02:18:49] Rich Chelson:

Right.  

[02:18:50] Duuude-Ron :

I get confused and get lost sometimes,   but I'll get it.   I just have fun with it. You know?  

[02:19:02] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah.   But see, it but when it comes to,   like, don't switching over to guitar   Yeah. Wouldn't have the froggiest because yeah. And I don't know where on the, on the fretboard, you know, what is,   what is an a or a b, and which which, which string   do you need to put I mean, they're since they're you're now putting on 2 different planes,   to to get a particular note out.   That's where I'm I'm, like, going,  

[02:19:33] Duuude-Ron :

that's no. So See see, that's why that's why I figured I'd just play the piano,   and I'll let I'll let everyone else play the other instruments.   And Right. I'll just play along with them and and,  

[02:19:48] Bryan Goodwin:

accompany them. Yeah. I mean, I mean, there like I said, there's a lot of,   musical instruments I'd love to have learned how to play   because, I mean, there's the bassoon and the oboe.   You know? The oboe would have been fun, you know, the big tall boop, boop, boop, boop type of wood woodwind, and,   you know,   the,  

[02:20:11] Duuude-Ron :

was cool up in Mobile.   We have a guitar center. Right? Uh-huh. And,   the girl that,   I guess,   schedules all the classes and stuff like that, name's Catherine. She's a little sweetheart. She   she's early in college, I think, still.   But I've talked to her a little bit, and she plays the French horn.  

[02:20:35] Bryan Goodwin:

Oh, yeah. And  

[02:20:37] Duuude-Ron :

and and,   me and her got, you know, to talking about that,   you know, because I was asking her because it's like, I've never known no one to play the French horn.   And I'm like,   what kind of music you play? You know? And she, I guess, plays with some friends or whatnot,   and they play a lot of classical and stuff like that. And Right. You know, she was like   she was like a basic French   horn, starts out at, like, 2 or $3,000.   Mhmm. I'm like, oh my god.  

[02:21:10] Bryan Goodwin:

She's like, yeah. She's like Yeah. And oboes are no. Or even more expensive than that.   Good,   a a good high quality oboe can actually or, yeah, oboe   can, can range up to,   to 5 figures  

[02:21:27] Duuude-Ron :

Wow. Easily.  

[02:21:30] Bryan Goodwin:

Because and that's that's mainly because of the wood that they use. They use African black wood as the body   Okay. And, and stuff. So the the to be able to make the high quality,   oboes,   it's just a   it it costs a lot. And when I say   5 figures, we're looking,   I don't remember right, about 30.   It's like price of a car.  

[02:21:57] Duuude-Ron :

Oh, wow. Okay.   Yeah.   And see, that's why and and I don't know. I just you see that thing for years, I had I had well,   I had wanted to play the guitar. I I had wanted to play a lot, but I'd always I'd always wanted to learn the piano   ever since I was young.   And   I never had the time or I was always working or whatever. I always put it off.   And I was like, you know what?   I can do it now.   So why not do it?   Yeah.   And so I go up on Saturdays   to to a guitar center in Mobile   for a half an hour. I drive 40   42 minutes   to play the piano for half an hour,   and then I normally come back home.  

But I don't know. It's fun. Gets me out of the house and,   you know, gets me to learning something new, and   and then I get home. It's like, oh, I gotta try this again. You know?   So   it's it's it's actually pretty cool. I wanna get to the point to where   if I think of a song, I wanna be able to play it   or at least figure it out, you know, if it's a hard one.   Right.   So   and and I would like to play jazz and blues,   just all kinds of music.   Oh, yeah.  

[02:23:33] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. I found an old, an old podcaster that I had, that I used to follow for a long while.   Oh, you may know him, Rich, but,   Keith,   Ken Blanchard.  

[02:23:47] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. Yep.   I can't I can't remember the name of his podcast, but, yeah. With a gun?  

[02:23:54] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah.   Yep. He, he actually,   go on TikTok, you find reverend, Ken Blanchard. Boy, he just cranks out the blues like no one's business. Like, man, he needs to put out a he's put out an album   because I love listening to what he's what he plays.  

[02:24:16] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. That,   I wanna   I don't know if I've heard him   play the Blues or not.   You said it was Ken Blanchard. Right?  

[02:24:35] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah.   Pretty sure Ken Blanchard. Yeah. Yeah. Ken Blanchard. Let me pull him up and make sure.  

[02:24:41] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. I do. Kim Blanchard.   K e n, kilo echo November. Right?   Mhmm.  

[02:24:51] Bryan Goodwin:

Say, Kim Blanchard.   Man with a gun.  

[02:25:01] Unknown:

Yes.  

[02:25:07] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. K e n n, Blanchard.  

[02:25:10] Duuude-Ron :

There it is.  

[02:25:13] Bryan Goodwin:

Because if you put KE in Yeah. You get the   white  

[02:25:17] Duuude-Ron :

dude.   Yeah.   Yeah.   Yeah. I might have to listen.   Yeah. I was gonna say when when the, white dude brought up, I'm like, yeah. That don't that don't look like him.   It's like,   yeah, I might have to listen to him again.   Listen to his music. But yeah. See, that's I I mean, I'm not saying I'm wanting to make   CDs or anything out like that. Well,   they don't do CDs no more.  

[02:25:52] Bryan Goodwin:

Right.  

[02:25:53] Duuude-Ron :

Listen to me date myself here.   But,   no, it's something else I've been doing and working on.   So   because sometimes in the house, it gets too quiet, and I forget to ask Alexa to play anything.   So I just fire up the piano and   just play what a a little bit I know and what I'm working on. Right.   And then soon enough, I'll be sure. Alright. I'm gonna make some noise. I'll turn the piano on and just play music.   Say that   say that's just so cool, man.   Right.   But, yeah, I got I got a Williams Allegro   4.  

[02:26:47] Bryan Goodwin:

Okay.  

[02:26:48] Duuude-Ron :

It's it's,   well, it's a good keyboard.   It's it's a real freaking good keyboard.   But it's not like those ones that it, this one has the fully weighted keys  

[02:27:01] Rich Chelson:

Okay.  

[02:27:02] Duuude-Ron :

Which is what I wanted because it's like a regular piano.   Because, like like, some of the,   you know, ones for a $150,   $200,   those are plastic keys. And you can't get no actual feel  

[02:27:19] Bryan Goodwin:

for Right.  

[02:27:20] Duuude-Ron :

How hard you're pressing the keys down.   And,   plus the sound out of out of this one,   out of the ones I looked at were,   were a lot better,   I thought.   So   because, like,   you know, they make some keyboards that have, like, 5,000,000   sounds,   you know, different sounds. Oh, yeah. You know? No.   Mine has 12 different.   I don't have 5,000,000 sounds. I yeah. It don't. It don't. No.   Because I wanted it to sound   my main sound I like is the grand piano.  

[02:28:07] Bryan Goodwin:

Right.  

[02:28:09] Duuude-Ron :

Now the bright piano, which is what most,   most of your uprights and, saloon pianos back in the day, they were bright. Bright? Yeah. Yeah.  

[02:28:21] Bryan Goodwin:

That sounds nice too. Those those are the honky tonks.  

[02:28:24] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah.   Yeah.   And those and and a lot of the blues players use the bright pianos.  

[02:28:31] Bryan Goodwin:

Right. Pianos.  

[02:28:33] Duuude-Ron :

And so and, yeah, I've got that tone, and I've got I've got a few other tones, but   I've got organs, couple of organs and electric pianos, which   which the electric pianos   kinda sound pretty cool depending on the music you're playing.   But   but, yeah, I just I've I've always loved the sound of a grand piano   and, especially, someone who can play it.   I just enjoy it. It, like,   takes me back to yesteryear.   No.   I'm not that old.  

[02:29:12] Bryan Goodwin:

Get a get a jazz organ.   Make it sound like you've been getting ready to play some some epic gospel.  

[02:29:24] Duuude-Ron :

I might I'm I'm gonna have to search, but   I think I have   a sound   that'll come close to that. I'm not sure.   I gotta look. I can't remember.   But, see, that would say that see, that would be cool too because I've got some old hymnals   that that's that when I worked at the recycling center, someone was gonna throw away.   Right.   And I'm, oh, I I'm talking these are   these are from the sixties seventies. Okay?   It's like I'm not I'm not letting these go.   You know, because nowadays, most people sing new music and stuff, which I'm not knocking it. Alright?   I still love the old classic hymns.  

And so   I've got, like, I don't know, like, 6 or 7   different hymnals.   And I wanna be able to open one of these hymnals, put it in front of me, and play   that song.   So that's why   that was one of the main reasons I got this,   that and to learn the piano.   Because I watched NCIS New Orleans.   You ever watched that show, NCIS New Orleans?   No.   Okay. Well,   it's it's set in New Orleans. And then, I mean, you know,   wasn't a bad show. But   Scott Bakula No.   Scott Bakula,   is the main character, and he,   owned a bar called the True Tone, which is actually   the r bar   in down on Royal Street in the French Quarter.  

So it is an actual place.   Right?  

[02:31:25] Rich Chelson:

But, I'm Right.  

[02:31:28] Duuude-Ron :

In a few of the episodes,   he he   he plays a piano, and I looked it up.   And   he knows how to play the piano.   And   when they did the show, the writers had to,   you know, instead of having someone else come in and play the piano   or whatnot,   they figured out that Scott Bakula knows how to play the piano, so they wrote all that in together   and everything.   And it was like you know, it was something it was something that I hadn't thought about for a while. And so I was like,   alright. Cool. That'd be cool to do, you know, to actually finally go learn it. You know?   So   so I guess I guess it was a little push I needed.  

Right. You know, even though I don't know Scott Bakula at all.   You know? But it Oh, well, Yeah.  

[02:32:31] Bryan Goodwin:

Quantum Leap.  

[02:32:33] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. Yeah.   Yeah. He was he was the lead character in NCIS New Orleans   as a William Price.   Mhmm.   And he knows how to play the piano.   So that's why I was like like, you know what? It's good. I'm a go learn it.   So   so, yeah, I get to go to Mobile every week and,   you know, hang out with   with everyone up there and   play the piano and stuff. And yeah. Yeah.   They had said something about   said something about a recital.   You know?   They do, I guess, I guess, they do a recital every 3 months.   Okay.   You know,   you know, if you know, because I give lessons on guitars,   drums, all this other stuff. Right?  

Right. And so and so if the students want, they can give a recital   and everything and yeah. Yeah. Ben had said something about that to me, and I'm like, yeah. I don't know about that.  

[02:33:45] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. Actually, I think you need to.  

[02:33:49] Duuude-Ron :

Why?  

[02:33:50] Bryan Goodwin:

Why? Because it's something you're afraid of.   That's why.  

[02:33:56] Duuude-Ron :

Well, you know, you're right.   I   I can't argue with you on that because, yeah, I am I am nervous as fuck. Good. You need to.  

[02:34:07] Bryan Goodwin:

You definitely need to need to be, doing the recital then.  

[02:34:12] Duuude-Ron :

Well, I don't know when it is exactly.   Ben said it's it's like every 3 months, but he didn't say when the next one is. I'm just I'm just trying to concentrate on   on learning,   you know, the song that   because,   well,   I got this song   or was it   no. It wasn't last week. It was a week before,   the first Noel.   And I learned the metal the, melody of it. Just the notes. You know?   And then last week when I went there,   Ben was like, okay. We're gonna put the chords with it now.   I'm like, what?   Because there's a, I mean, there's a c,   g, f, a minor, e minor, d minor,   and and they're all scattered throughout the song   and trying to   I know how to make the chords. I know how to make all the chords.  

Okay.  

[02:35:15] Bryan Goodwin:

K.  

[02:35:17] Duuude-Ron :

But   they're not in one they're   not in the order of my brain once a man.   Okay?   Because,   like,   you start out with an e, d, and then when you hit the c, you also hit the c chord, then you hit the d again.   And then the e,   you go up to a a minor,   f, and then your g goes back to a c chord.   You hit your g and c chord.   And,   I mean, it's   it's not the same throughout the song. It it it mixes up. So trying to get in and they're all eighth notes   because it's in it's in,   3 4 time.  

[02:36:05] Bryan Goodwin:

Yes.  

[02:36:07] Duuude-Ron :

So it's in eighth notes.   And I know I'm not playing in time because I'm playing it slow,   but it sounds better and slow slow if you ask me.   But,   yeah, trying to   trying to get all that,   you know, to where my brain   I'm I'm actually doing better,   by the day. I was doing better   by the day than I was on Sunday   when I started this.   Okay. So, yeah, I've been I've been I've been playing every day for   at least, I'd say, 30 minutes, if not more.   And and sometimes I'll play in the morning, then I'll play in the afternoon.   You know? I'll I'll just mix it up.  

And then I'll sit there and I'll I'll play through it.   And then if I didn't hit it right, I'll go back through it again.   You know? And   then if I just totally fuck it up,   I'll just play the scale with the chords.   I'll just sit there and then and then I'll just work my fingers and   just, you know,   take my mind off   Right. What I was doing.   And then I'll try it again later on. You know?   Because that's the thing. You know? If you sit there and just hammer at it, hammer at it, hammer at it,   you're gonna get frustrated and   find up giving up. So   that's why I was like, yeah. No. I'll just break it up like this.  

So that's about what I've been doing, really. Yeah.   What about you?  

[02:38:01] Bryan Goodwin:

Oh,   honestly, me, I've   been doing   really all that much.   And that is   just   try just getting ourselves   set up from,   a reset back up after,   after the holidays. So,   just a   big thing now is,   still trying to   trying to find a, the the path I wanna go on with, with Relaxed Mills. So   going a, gonna do another, little workshop here in about, 3 months. So when   well, 3 months from when I when I'm able to to gather enough money to start doing some some advertising. So   Right. Because I wanna do at least 3 3 months this time, see if I can get more of a   of a response   than what I did last time, and actually be   more active with what the, responses are. Because one of the things I'm gonna end up doing is I'm gonna need to go ahead and   start   buying   Wi Fi access for the phone again so that I can actually   get stuff,   taken care of there.  



[02:39:26] Duuude-Ron :

Right.   Well, what what   what, has   do you have planned to look at?  

[02:39:42] Bryan Goodwin:

I'm not following your your question.  

[02:39:45] Duuude-Ron :

Oh, you said you was   you was gonna,   kinda   maybe I misheard you, but I thought you said something about   you was gonna  

[02:39:59] Bryan Goodwin:

maybe change paths or or Well, not change paths. Just, see how what type of,   just how am I going to start trying to draw   more attention to   to relax the male, to,   to and find   more   potential   guys who want to improve their relationship.   So that's Okay. That's where I'm, what I'm working at now. And just at the same time, trying to make sure I keep, the blog posts and the, and the podcast going   because they're they're slowly the the the podcast is growing slowly. The the,   the website,   visits are are increasing.   Only, dear I think it was see here. Was it Christmas   itself?  

Sage. Go stats.   Yeah. No. It actually was, 31st   of,   of December   Mhmm. Was the last time that I actually had   views   under a 100.  

[02:41:15] Duuude-Ron :

Okay.  

[02:41:17] Bryan Goodwin:

Now I've had   I've still had days where   the visitors   were under a 100,   but that's but that's   it's now when I say under a 100, it's, like, 98,   97,   99.   Okay. So you're right there. I mean, it's Yeah. I'm just I'm sitting just right there on the cusp, and that's just so let's just keep going, keep on the, the path.   And, you know, every every,   blog post you you add that's of quality is at helping   is helping Google go, okay. We can send more people to you. Perplexity is going, hey. We need to send more people over to this guy. This is or this guy's got a lot of good information.   And so yeah. And I'm not doing you know, I'm not not going through using the the   AI stuff   to to fill up a bunch of, blog posts, which is sadly what a lot of people are doing. So you start seeing a lot of folks who are talking about, well, we're gonna be doing a deep dive in blah blah blah   because that seems to be for whatever reason,   AI thinks that's how we talk. We talk about don't taking deep dives into everything when we're going to get   you know, we're we're gonna draw in, a little bit closer. We're gonna get a little little micro in our in our observances. So it's like, oh, we're gonna do a deep dive. It's like, well, let me ask you this real quick. Okay?  



[02:42:44] Duuude-Ron :

On,   on this on this AI stuff. Okay?   What   because I've seen it   spread throughout the Internet   and everything. And what is the big deal   if something   is written with AI   or not?  

[02:43:05] Bryan Goodwin:

There's no soul in it.   Okay. It it's crap. It is AI slump is is the actual is term that most people are using nowadays.  

[02:43:16] Duuude-Ron :

Okay. Okay. Now, okay. Hang on here. Okay.   But but you see, the thing is,  

[02:43:23] Bryan Goodwin:

you say it's  

[02:43:25] Duuude-Ron :

you say there's no soul in it, but but okay. Let's say someone's writing an article,   and and they start writing it, and they use part of AI and then write it and then part of AI and all like this. But why do they have to disclose it?  

[02:43:40] Bryan Goodwin:

Don't say they have to disclose it. Well, it seems like they're But it's be but you can sit there and look at   a a post   of someone who has done   AI, and you can tell it's AI.  

[02:43:57] Duuude-Ron :

Okay. Let me ask you this again. Okay? This this this is another I mean I mean, these are these are some of the questions that I that I've had that, you know, that I've been, you know, running through.   It's like,   if you're reading a blog post, what's it matter?   I mean, I mean, because   does it   does it really matter?  

[02:44:20] Bryan Goodwin:

Yes. Because eventually, you're going to get,   you're go we're gonna get,   model failure.   Model collapse is what they actually call it. Yeah. Okay.   And but a good way to look at it is,   is go to,   go to a let's see here. I wanna make sure I get this right. It's a it's a Google product,  

[02:44:51] Rich Chelson:

notebooklm.  

[02:44:55] Bryan Goodwin:

And a lot of people are a lot of other AI deals are starting to do this, but,   Google,   notebooklm.google.com.   Alright?   And what you can   do is you could take your notes   no matter how long,   And   you can feed it a day into,   notebook l m,   and it will spit out a 5 to 7 minute podcast.  

[02:45:25] Duuude-Ron :

Okay.  

[02:45:26] Bryan Goodwin:

And 9 times out of 10, the guy and the girl, they make it very,   NPR like, so you've got a guy and, you know, got a guy who's hit and he's talking, and the girl's like, oh, yeah. That sounds really good.   And you could   tell, 1, you could tell that it's AI because, 1, the again, the voice has no soul in it.  

[02:45:50] Duuude-Ron :

Right.  

[02:45:52] Bryan Goodwin:

But also,   you can   make a just a little comment.   Take that, take that little, that little blurb that you've,   gave to them. Let them do a a a 5 to 7 minute podcast on it.   Take that podcast,   grab the,   the   transcript of it   on however you wanna grab a transcript of it. I don't know if they spit it at one out or not. Right.   And put that one   and feed that back into AI.   Right. And, and I And watch them start throwing shit that wasn't mentioned   into the, into the discussion.  

[02:46:36] Duuude-Ron :

Right. And and I had I had I had heard of this. Okay?   And I think I think I think we had talked about this. We probably did.   But the thing is, this is   but but you see, this is what I'm asking. Okay? Because,   you know,   people I mean,   I don't know why it's   such a big deal because   I mean yeah. I don't know. Some of the stuff I read, you know, people are just like,   you know, freaking   passionate,  

[02:47:10] Bryan Goodwin:

like like Because it's crap. There's no there's no thought put into it.   Well, no. I understand that. But a good example, if you wanna know why   AI is starting to become so detested now,   go to YouTube,   go to the shorts,   and you will start noticing   all the AI shorts.   The videos are are AI generated. The voice is generated. The script is AI generated. It's all AI generated.   And it's in there in the just I'm gonna say millions. I don't know exactly how many there are. But it's in there so much.   It's like, no wonder people can't find it. You've got, you've got people who are just doing AI farms, just a prompt jockeys, just   do   a 5 ways that you can, you can, you can stub your toe   for and make it a minute long short. All right.  

Okay. Here we go. We got that. And now we let's feed it into, into the, the let's make a, a voice for this guy off of this guy, and this is gonna be this and, our make a, make a,   a,   a,   a video   based on this, based on this script. All right, man. And there it comes, it spits up. It just looks right. Rapid swipes left, right, and center.   And there's   no actual information in there.  

[02:48:39] Duuude-Ron :

Right.  

[02:48:40] Bryan Goodwin:

It's   and it is it's AI. It's just slop created by AI. Right. Yes. I It's speeding itself over and over and over again. Right. Hold on, Brian, hold on. Don't you think  

[02:48:54] Duuude-Ron :

the the freaking freaking   monetization,   requirements from YouTube   and other sites   has caused this?   I mean, I mean, come on. I mean, I mean, to get, you know well, plus in this day and age,   everybody   has a short attention span. They want everything   just as fast as they can get it. They don't care how they get it just as long as they get it. And so what if it's not truthful?   I mean I mean, haven't we done this to ourselves?   I'm asking.  

[02:49:29] Bryan Goodwin:

The the   the video con like, YouTube has,   TikTok has,   Instagram and, and Facebook. Yeah. They have. They've all have contributed to it   because all of a sudden, YouTube, yeah, you could well, and I think you're gonna start seeing a lot of it over on, over on Spotify too now that Spotify has claimed that if you can get,   what is it, 10,000   listens within a month or 10000 hours of listens within a month or something like that,   it's something astronomical.   It's, you know, the only the top of the top of the top is gonna be able to make get to the,   to the level where you could actually get paid by Spotify.  



[02:50:15] Duuude-Ron :

Right. Right. Well, well, Spotify has always been out to keep  

[02:50:20] Bryan Goodwin:

every time there. Oh, yeah. You know, this is that's the same company that,   Snoop dog got a 1,000,000,000,   listens and only got a $45,000  

[02:50:28] Duuude-Ron :

paycheck.  

[02:50:29] Bryan Goodwin:

Right. Right. So they're, they're, if you   think that you're, you're gonna get rich off of Spotify, anybody who who thinks that is is an idiot.   I'm I'm one of the I'm I'm the grumpy old man who jumps on the onto   the on the the bright bright eyed,  

[02:50:52] Unknown:

new podcasters who go, I'm gonna start up, start my podcast my video podcast on Spotify. No. No. No. You know? It's like, how do I how do I,  

[02:51:01] Bryan Goodwin:

monetize? It's like, well, you're going on Spotify. You ain't gonna monetize.  

[02:51:05] Duuude-Ron :

Right.   And and see, that's the thing though, you know, that you see, most people well, most smart people   who wanna be podcasters   do not look at Spotify,   you know.  

[02:51:18] Bryan Goodwin:

No. Most from what I'm seeing,   a lot of the new podcasters   are looking at Spotify.   They're thinking they're they're picking up all the all the marketing bullshit.   Talking about how,   how   y'all the number 1,   podcast app out there is YouTube.   Say No.  

[02:51:40] Duuude-Ron :

No. Natural selection, dude. Natural selection will will weed these people out because all these people Oh, yeah. No. They'll they'll go on there and they  

[02:51:49] Bryan Goodwin:

may book. They're well, you've got the the infamous,   what is it? 7th episode,   barrier to cross.   Right. And then if you get past that, you got the 10th barrier 10th episode barrier, and then the 20th episode barrier. Well, you said this is like this is like with,  

[02:52:06] Duuude-Ron :

when a Joe Rogan   sold out to Spotify for $250,000,000.   This is what caused the influx   of podcasters.  

[02:52:14] Bryan Goodwin:

Well, that, in fact, that Anchor was free. You could Well, yeah. That's it. Make it you could host for free, and it's like Yeah.  

[02:52:21] Duuude-Ron :

And Yeah. You get what you pay for, dude. Right. Right. But but you see, and that would   that all kinda died down.   And, I mean, this is like a news cycle, basically, is what it is.   You know? Because now Spotify is feeding everybody's head full of bullshit.   And so everyone's going to Spotify.   They're gonna peter out  

[02:52:45] Bryan Goodwin:

because Oh, most of them will. Yeah. I mean, you're gonna You know, and so and so that's what You're gonna get the the influx of of video,   podcast. Well, they're not even video podcasts because you can't watch the videos outside of the app,   Spotify app.   So that is by all definition, you're just to have a video show on Spotify. You don't actually have a podcast. Podcast requires an RSS feed.  

[02:53:13] Duuude-Ron :

And see and see the thing is,   these people   wanted to do a video podcast. No one wants to see you. No one knows you.  

[02:53:22] Bryan Goodwin:

They don't give 2 fucks about you. Well, yeah, to to a point, I I would agree.  

[02:53:28] Duuude-Ron :

You know, and that's you see, that's the thing. Yeah. I mean, no.   You know, I don't I don't   I I don't and and will never use AI to make a video. I will shoot the video by himself,   and I won't rehash it, rehash it, and but you see, that's the thing. You know, a lot of people, you know, say,   you know, oh, this was made by writing and and with AI. It's like, who the fuck cares?   Most people, when they read something,   they don't   try and figure out   what kind of soul you are   or or   what kind of person you are. They're reading it for the information that's in it.  

[02:54:10] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah.   And if you're   going with an AI,   there's a good chance you're going to be getting wrong information because there's going to be,   hallucinations   mixed into it.   Well, if you They have yet to be because AI that's the one thing a lot of people can't   well,   1, AI   is a scam.   Alright? It's a marketing ploy to try to get more   money   into the tech sector because the tech sector is drying up. That's one reason why they're now talking about,   about   about processes   and how much energy it's gonna take to run AI systems.   And because the next step is they're gonna have to do another push for quantum computers, which don't fucking work.   I mean, they've got got   Google apparently   ran,   ran 1, and I mean, how much energy that damn thing took. And they and the fact that they went off from, like and it possibly went over into a whole other dimension to figure out how to, you know, figure out the answer. And it's like, you're an idiot. Alright. No. We didn't go we didn't rip time and space to be able to go to a damn the other to   to solve a complex equation that was gonna take 17   quadrillion   years for the average computer to solve?  

Besides, if it's that complex, how long did it take you to actually write the damn math equation?  

[02:55:40] Duuude-Ron :

Right.   And see, that's the thing. People are you see you see you see,   this is why I don't listen to 99%   of this bullshit,   and it bugs me when I read about it or hear about it because it's like,   you stupid asses just   aren't even gonna   you know, by the time   you get the answer you want or   feel good like you want, it's gonna be 10 years down the road, and you're not even gonna remember   what you're fucking doing right now. Right.   You know, it's it and this is what   this shit this shit kinda bugs me, man.   You know, it's like,   who fucking cares? Just put the shit out there because it's shit,   you know.  



[02:56:32] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. And but at least, well, and and like, what I what I get at is   stop trying to take the fucking shortcut.  

[02:56:41] Duuude-Ron :

Right.  

[02:56:42] Bryan Goodwin:

Take the time. Sit down.   Plan your thoughts out. Put your thoughts onto the damn paper. Right. If you wanna use AI okay. Use AI to get get ideas.   Use AI to to draw, you know, to draw a a level of inspiration on,   but don't use AI to write your shit.   Right. I mean, I've got, I've got a,   a a PDF that I've made   that is 800 questions.   Holy crap. 600 questions of those were created by AI.   Okay. And then I had to go through and go, well, okay. No. That's that's that has nothing to do with relationships.   This one has nothing to do with relationships.   Because some of them were just you know, they were questions that were kinda in the relationship realm.  

That didn't do any weren't anything. So, you know, I And would have to go through and and   re rejigger the, the the discussion that it was trying to make.  

[02:57:48] Duuude-Ron :

Right. And and see, that's the thing, though. You see, that's fine there because,   you know,   AI  

[02:57:55] Bryan Goodwin:

or the large language model, whichever one It's actually a a large language model. It's an LLM.  

[02:58:01] Duuude-Ron :

I know. But we use AI for short   because everybody knows those two letters.   Alpha India.  

[02:58:10] Bryan Goodwin:

Yep. That's an anonymous Indian. Anonymous.  

[02:58:13] Duuude-Ron :

Actually actually, it just clicked.   Okay. But but you see the thing is though,   anybody who who has alpha brain   knows   that it's not gonna spit everything out   verbatim   perfectly.  

[02:58:33] Bryan Goodwin:

No. Because, I mean, it's, it's   it's a very crappy chatbot.  

[02:58:38] Duuude-Ron :

Well,   either way, even   even if it gets to the level   of   of exponential   awesomeness,   it's still not gonna be perfect.   Okay? Nothing is perfect. So   so those 600 questions,   there's gonna be quite a few that are not in your realm of what you're looking for, and you're gonna have to go through and and edit those out, you know. Yeah. And and either leave them out or add more or whatever, you know. But, you know, that's the thing, you know. It's it's it's not the end of the world.  

[02:59:17] Bryan Goodwin:

No. It it's not. But but again, you wanna make sure that you're   when you're doing   some type of content,   make it your content.   Let's not make   it AI content   because,   yeah, it's easy. You just all right. It goes through here. It spit out. You ask it this. It spit out this, you know, 2 1,000 word essay because you asked it to and you go, alright, copy paste and up it goes.   Alright.   Good. I'm gonna, I would say, actually say, do let's   use as much AI as you want,   because all that's going to do is that's going to increase the   model collapse because now you're going to have the AI feeding off the AI.  

Well, that's feeding off of AI.  

[03:00:12] Duuude-Ron :

What do you mean? Because if you if you haven't read a 2,000 word essay now Right. Anytime I've had any AI   write anything for me, I've I've I've gone back through and reread.  

[03:00:27] Bryan Goodwin:

Yeah. Okay. You have made changes. The people who wanna crank out AI slop. Don't   they   copy, they, they ask, they prompt jockey out of a, a 2,000 word essay.   They copy, they paste it   and, and   they, they send it up and send it off on its way.   And   like I said, let them let people, I'm having no problem with people who do that. I have problems with people being that lazy.   But at the same time, if you wanna do that, do it because you're going to you're just propagating   and increasing the downfall that AI is going to have because   the model is eventually, they're going they have to continually go out onto the net, and let's see what's new information they got. What's new information? Oh, hey. Look at this one. This is a 2,000 word essay. It looks pretty good. Let's go ahead and let's use it. So let's bring it in and use it as part of our large language model, and it's a bunch of garbage.  

So now you've got garbage in, garbage out, and now you're starting to have the whole cassette recording of a cassette   phenomenon where the first one is, oh, it's pretty good. Alright. Alright.   Second one is, oh, that's a little rough. 3rd one's like, oh my gosh. How how are you hearing this?  

[03:01:46] Duuude-Ron :

Right. But no. No. I get that. But you see, that's the thing, though.   You're gonna have people do this regardless.  

[03:01:53] Bryan Goodwin:

Oh, yeah. You've got lazy people over in overseas   who are going to crank this out left, right, and center and not give a shit. Got lazy people right here in America doing it. Yeah. But I would guarantee a good portion of all the AI slop that gets thrown up onto,   up onto, to YouTube   and,   and, and   Instagram   and,   TikTok. Good con. I couldn't think of the name.   Good. The vast majority of it   created by over in China,   guarantee empty.  

[03:02:33] Duuude-Ron :

Yeah. You know, it could be, I, you know, I can't say gay or nay to that, but   at the same time,   with the way   people over here   want to be recognized, especially on TikTok,   yeah, I I don't I don't know how much honest work they do.  

[03:02:53] Bryan Goodwin:

Right. Well You know what I mean? And I I I don't either. I'm not saying people don't do honest work because they  

[03:02:59] Duuude-Ron :

do. But still,   you know, there's there's a lot of people that just want   they wanna be noticed.   Yep. They want their 15 minutes of frame or or 30 minutes of fame. You know? Yep.  

[03:03:14] Bryan Goodwin:

And and sure enough, they'll get it. And then that 30 minutes is going to be up, unlike us, because we do   authentic programs. We do authentic content. That's what you're hearing   right now, my my fair   gentlemen and ladies who are listening to this show   because we have   taken the time.   We take 3 hours out of the, out of every Thursday night to sit down and have a good wholesome discussion with   3 guys, 2 grumpy vets, and a dude. And   we we just hash out the random thoughts. As you kinda heard today, we kinda had a slow   start, and then we took off like a rocket.  

This is what   our show is about. It's about,   pardon me. Wow. That one came out of nowhere.   It's it is about   guys having a great time   talking with each other, living life intentionally with each other,   and spending time   being able to grow, develop, and become better men because of it.   And while we're at it, we've said, you know what? Let's turn it into a podcast. Let's have a good time. Let's show other people, you know,   how weird our thoughts are. And maybe they they'll agree. Maybe they won't. Maybe they'll just shake their head and and carry on, but they'll, they'll be a little more experienced in the weirdness of of the, of the world as we got around to talking.   So   our show is a value for value show.  

And what does value for value mean? It is means that   if you found any type of value from listening to the show, we made you laugh, cry, faint, groan, anything along those lines,   then   you can provide   some type of help to the show.   We,   you and the   value for value   are based on off of 3 items. You have time.   So if you wanted to be able to help us out, say you like the show, you think you could provide some help somewhere along the way, beautiful.   You can, yeah, commit you can donate some of your time. You can help supply time to us so that you can and and get some stuff with the show taken care of that way.   Talent. So you're if you're good at   being a graphics a graphic designer, you're good at drawing, you're good at being a prop jockey that creates,   good AI art. Beautiful.  

You can,   create art for us or you can, again, commit time. Maybe you wanna   to sit down   and do our our chapter art for us. Maybe that's what you're, what you'd like to do for us.   Either way, anyhow you like to do, you can do time, you can do talent, or you can do the 3rd, which is treasure. You can on most modern podcast apps, which are podcast apps that are   running the podcast 2 point o, standard,   their most apps have the ability for you to, some hidden somewhere on the, on the page for,   2 grumpy vets and a dude,   you will see support this show. You can click on that, and it will actually bring up   the the PayPal. Now for a long time, we were able to do   also do,   Satoshis. You could still kinda do Satoshis, but,   back in December, there was the great albepocalypse   and our   means of being able to use Satoshis   as for streaming or to do boostograms and things like like that   kinda fell through, through the floor. And so the wonderful,   amazing guys who are working on the podcast in 2.0,   namespace   are actually   trying to come up with a solution, and they're on a they think they're on a really good path. So you haven't heard me talk much about sending off Satoshis or doing boostograms and things like that like that. And that's the reason why. It's because   it's it this is bleeding edge,   technology, and so we're and and so it's it's a little on the shaky side right now. So we're fixing   they're they're getting it,   shaped up. I still wanna throw   I'm gonna put on a an Umbral server sometime.  

And because start 9 is at   we've been doing this show since, and I put on,   started up start 9 right after we started this show.   And, Yeah. My I'm up to   almost   almost   48% if I check and remember right. So, yeah, we're we're going slow.   So it gets, like, 2 bits of information. It's like, oh, we timed out, which I know one I know a couple of the reasons. 1 is that it's an old hard drive.   2, it's a old laptop. And 3,   there's no hard connection to the, to the router. So yeah, it's it's it's it's,   got a it's all hidden shit on all 4 on all 3 channels there. So Right. Right.   So it it's just it tries to stand, but it's just chugging right along, and it's like, okay. I forgot what I was doing.  

Oh, yeah. That's oh, yeah. We gotta do this. Okay. Oh, never mind. I forgot what I was doing again. Oh, let's try it again. Try it again. Yeah. So yeah. It's, it it it's doing what it can. It's just it it's slower and dirt. So and while while I'm still waiting for it to finally   sync the whole,   Bitcoin thing, it's just gonna take a,   it'll it'll probably do it sometime next year in 2026.   So, you know, it is what it is.   But but, yeah, there are,   there's a lot of of neat features that I wanna be able to bring in with,   whenever I get either an Umbrel or start 9, actually running. I'm gonna test out that Umbrel on a   on a on another computer that I have and see what type of,   what type of of   of of results I can get from it. So   because   if we can get   around to figuring out the whole satoshi thing, then we're gonna be we're gonna be having a good time. We'll be able to get the, the   loops, the feedback loop going great so that the listeners can actually send us information,   and we can send back information, and they can send this information again, and we can send send it back. We can actually have discussions   live,   and, you you know, at,   it's,   as they happen on the, during the show.  

Say that would be cool. That would be a lot of fun. So   but we're that's that's gonna be, that'll be a little wild, down the road,   probably here in but I'd say another 4 or 5 months till they really get   everything fully hammered out if I if I had to guess. They're   they're kind of, trying to figure it out. Some are trying to use nostril, and I'm I've I've got Nostr, and I'm just not fully understanding it. They're thinking maybe they can get us, get Strike Wallet to work, which would be a lot easier for a lot of people because you could actually just take a card, throw it into Strike. It gives you   satoshis, and you can then and and it's tied into the lightning network at the same time. So there's several different options and trials that they're doing. So but if you're wanting to try to help us by   making sure that we've got enough money for our hosting,   site or anything like that,   PayPal right now is your best bet. You can either do a one time donation or or a reoccurring monthly donation if you want.  

So with that, guys, I wanna say thanks again for listening. Y'all have a, a great rest of the night and share this, podcast out if you found anything fun and interesting. So,   dude, what do you got for the night?   Dude left us. Oh, dude. Up in famine oost?  

[03:11:20] Duuude-Ron :
