I'm here with Rich, Chelsea, and the dude, and we have got an action packed fun filled wild ride of a of a show for available to this week. We're gonna be talking about social security. So there's apparently some big changes that Rich wants to talk about. We're also gonna be talking about some, wildfire smoke that apparently is, being studied. We're gonna be visiting around the the whole HOA thing and just really have a, kinda pick them to to pieces because, well, I can't stand Karen's. We're good talk talk about the death of boy scouts.
And also we have a really big bag of wind, and I'm not talking about myself either that came across over in Temple, Texas. And, it really affected the dude this time. That and lot more on this week with 2 grumpy vets and a dude. And so, guys, where are we today?
[00:01:16] Rich Chelson:
Rich, what have you been up to today? Well, today I just I just kinda went out and enjoyed myself because I tell you what, buying a fucking house is sucks. It sucks. So, so I just went out and, sat in a park and played radio.
[00:01:32] Bryan Goodwin:
So, alright. Well, let's go then. Let's jump into the, to, the Rich's ham sandwich. So why don't you give us a a ham report? What's, what's been happening in the land of the hamys? Well,
[00:01:42] Rich Chelson:
land of the hamys. You you and your weird ass words, dude. Anyway, no. It's it's all good. No. Actually, the bands have picked up the, because, you know, we've had all them solar flares in the Aurora. Yeah. We had had angry sun. Oh, yeah. Very. And it was like for 2, 3 weeks. And it it was like, oh, shit. But things are get you know, things have gotten better. I I just went and casually, you know, talked to different people and everything. They was all here in the US, mostly up in Indiana. I was here in Indiana, Illinois. I got out and say Wisconsin.
Is I didn't get out like I normally do because I think I think everything is still, you know, kinda trying to get back to where it was at before all these solar flares. But, yeah, it was just it was just a good day to sit in the park. It was about 87 degrees. Nice. And, yeah. Yeah. And I just I just sat there and, worked a few different bands and just talked to people and chit chatted with them and, and just kinda enjoyed
[00:02:55] Bryan Goodwin:
life today. Well, good. Good. So you you ever get a lot of people who who come by and wanna know what in the heck you're doing out in the middle of the, middle of a park throwing up, coal signs?
[00:03:08] Rich Chelson:
You know, actually, no. Believe it or not. Yeah. It's funny because in this park, you know, people drive by or, like, there's an older couple on a golf cart, and they drove down on the lower road. They and, you know, it's funny because this is a state park I'm at. And so they have state workers that mow the lawn and stuff like this. Right. I mean, they've seen my setup. They have seen my Jeep. They've seen it multiple times because I've I've been at this park at lot, like, 21 times so far this year. Well, since I've been down here. And, you know, and, you know, they've they've seen my mask and everything, but no one's ever asked me, you know, whatever. Are you Tokyo Rose?
Yeah. I don't I don't
[00:03:56] Bryan Goodwin:
know. What's that? Yeah. He looks a lot like Tokyo Rose, doesn't he? I yeah. Yeah. I mean I mean, I think he's a little prettier than she is or or is that versed by sub? Actually, I don't even know what Tokyo Rose looks like. I know she was an actual Chinese American, woman who was, for the or not Chinese, Japanese American. Sorry. Sorry, all the Japanese folks. But, but, yeah, she apparently was, was helping, the empire and, and stuff. But, but, actually, what she actually looks like, I have no idea. I just I just know always heard about, if you look at that heard about her and her her, her her broadcast to, demoralize
[00:04:38] Duuude-Ron :
the, the troops. Well, actually, actually If you look at if you look at the movie, Pirates of the Caribbean and when they have all of the, the pirate chiefs or captains or whatever, You know what I'm talking about? The pirate the pirate court. Yeah. Okay? Yeah. Pirates of the Caribbean. That Asian female that is the one of the, captain of the court Right. Yeah. That she looks a lot like Tokyo Rose. Okay. Well, a Well, then never mind, Ron, or,
[00:05:17] Bryan Goodwin:
Rich. I'm I'm gonna have to say no. No. She looks a lot better than you do then. Well, just no. Hold on. That was that was not No. No. Hold on. That's not fair. Darn it. No. No. No. Hold on.
[00:05:28] Rich Chelson:
Did you ever figure out screen sharing?
[00:05:30] Bryan Goodwin:
I should have. I think we got it set up last time. I just had to shut down and restart the Yeah. Here we go. Okay.
[00:05:37] Rich Chelson:
So I'm gonna share this because this is the Wiki page for, Tokyo Rose. Y'all y'all see my screen?
[00:05:48] Bryan Goodwin:
It is trying to come up. It says Grumpy Rich has started screen sharing, and it's just going around, getting around Hanging on. Getting around, getting around.
[00:05:56] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. It's saying it's saying, Zoom is quitting unexpectedly. So apparently
[00:06:03] Bryan Goodwin:
You're fixed to go bye bye for a second. Boom. Yep. There he went. Well, he it shows he's still here. I'm back. So maybe it's
[00:06:11] Rich Chelson:
no. No. I left.
[00:06:12] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, that was really quick.
[00:06:15] Rich Chelson:
I've got a fast freaking computer, I guess. But, no, it's it's it's I've found I've found Tokyo Rose. Basically, no. These these are not, I I can honestly say I'm a little better looking than they they were. Okay. But but it was,
[00:06:36] Bryan Goodwin:
Tokyo rose was And he is completely modest too, folks. I mean, come on, ladies. He is. He's he's a winner, to be had. So
[00:06:47] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. But The big stitch. No. It says Tokyo Rose was not any one individual, but rather a group of largely unassociated women working for the same propagandist effort throughout the Japanese empire.
[00:07:06] Bryan Goodwin:
Really? Okay. So it was more than more than one chick.
[00:07:11] Rich Chelson:
Who thought that? More than 1. And, they they ran, cartoons, movies, propaganda videos between 1940 51960. And now now they and those what they did was made her look sexy. But if you if you could see this picture I'm looking at Uh-huh.
[00:07:34] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. No. Not so much. Not so much.
[00:07:38] Duuude-Ron :
I mean So it'd be one of so it would be one of those damn type comments.
[00:07:44] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Kinda. Yeah. Yeah. So so yeah. But but yeah. That's but, yeah, I was gonna say we're we're sitting here talking about Tokyo Rose, and, a lot of our audience probably is not gonna know anything about that.
[00:08:01] Bryan Goodwin:
Maybe. Any of the younger whipper snappers ain't gonna have a clue. No. But No. But but, I mean, anybody from gen x older? Oh, yeah. Well, we we've that's all we grew up on with was being told about how Tokyo Rose was, this big thorn in the, in the side of the Americans over in the Pacific, theater. And Mhmm. And, and and and I
[00:08:26] Duuude-Ron :
don't remember the name in the, Vietnam War. It was Hanoi Hanoi something. Hanoi Jane? Yeah. Is that No. No. Hanoi Jane. That's Jane Fonda. Yeah. Jane Fonda. But there was another one just like Tokyo Rose. Oh, yeah. But I don't remember the name of it in the Vietnam War. Hang on.
[00:08:45] Rich Chelson:
I'll find out real quick because now you have me one Hanoi, Heidi.
[00:08:50] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. See, if we had Tokyo Rose, that'd be probably Hanoi Tulip.
[00:08:59] Rich Chelson:
I I
[00:09:01] Duuude-Ron :
don't remember the name of it, but getting all back to this to the Here it is. Here it is.
[00:09:06] Rich Chelson:
Hanoi Hannah.
[00:09:08] Bryan Goodwin:
Hanoi. Hannah. Yep. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. I was just I was thinking on on the tulip thing, remind me of an old, an old joke I, I used to I I'd heard a long time ago. You know what's better than a rose on a piano? What? Tulips on an organ.
[00:09:30] Rich Chelson:
Dude. Oh my God. That was, oh, that was too much.
[00:09:45] Bryan Goodwin:
So they they sorry. They invade my head, and it's just it's gotta come out sometimes. It's gotta blah.
[00:09:51] Duuude-Ron :
So Oh, no. No. I can I can only imagine what Rich is gonna have for next week's, art on the, on the thing? I think it should definitely go be about that one liner.
[00:10:08] Rich Chelson:
Nah. No. I we'll see. We'll see. But yeah. No. No. Other than that, I just yeah. Basically, talked around the United States today, tried to reach out, like down to, Brazil. Couldn't they couldn't hear me. I could hear them pretty well, but but they couldn't hear me. It was just all mainly talking to people here in the states. So, I mean, like I said, it's the, bands aren't back yet, but they are coming back. So so hopefully in another week or 2, you know, I'm like freaking talking all over the world. Yeah. It should be able to hear soon. So and the sun won't be so grumpy.
[00:10:49] Duuude-Ron :
Well, let's hope not. Or at least not if there's 2 old Vets.
[00:10:54] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, yeah. Yeah. So but yeah. I mean, that's there it's what? That we're at the end of the 11 year cycle before the, the the the polar No. No. No. No. Polar, the sun's polar We're not even magnetic pulse shift. Dude. Well, it was supposed to peak at, supposed to peak next year, but so we're at the case basically, at the end of the 11 year cycle.
[00:11:16] Rich Chelson:
No. No. Next year is when we peak and and then it starts to go down. So so we're like halfway. The, the, solar cycle is not supposed to end till 2032.
[00:11:28] Bryan Goodwin:
Really? Okay. I was thinking that at the, once the, it went from from from the a low activity to a high activity. Oh, come on. Okay. Yeah. I'm gonna shut up now. Because it just finally clicked. It's like, no. It's supposed to go from low to high to low oh, low.
[00:11:47] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Okay.
[00:11:48] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. It goes low, high, low. Low. And that's the end of a cycle. Yeah. So So yeah. No. But but yeah. No. That's okay. I, you know, I watched I I watched the the, the solar stuff. I mean, I don't I don't freaking geek out on it because I don't understand 3 fourths of it. Right. I'm trying to understand as much as I can, but what I do know about it, I can apply it to the way I use it. So Right. Okay. Okay. But, yeah, I don't I don't freaking geek out like like some people do. But I'm glad some people do because they provide the information I need.
[00:12:29] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. So alright. So Ron or not Ron, Rich. Keep wanting to call Rich, Ron, and Ron Rich. Anyhow, so Rich, what's this about social security? What do you want to talk about on with social security? You're saying somebody folks would like to are gonna wanna know about this. Well, yeah, everybody's gonna wanna know about this.
[00:12:49] Rich Chelson:
Now I had gotten, I don't know if y'all had gotten this, but I had gotten, my social security statement. Okay. And, you know, it it goes through and tells you all the years you worked, how much you made each year. Right. Yeah. How much you paid in taxes, your employers paid, blah, blah, blah. Okay. When you go on down, because they add a few other sheets to this, you know, most people probably don't read through it, but I would suggest you do because it has little things that, like this one that caught my eye. Social Security will be there when you retire.
[00:13:25] Bryan Goodwin:
Except for when it's not.
[00:13:27] Rich Chelson:
Well, this is what I'm saying. This is this is the paragraph that they wrote. The Social Security taxes you pay go into a Social Security trust fund that are used to pay benefits to current beneficiaries. The Social Security Board of Trustees estimates that based on current law, the trust funds will be able to pay benefits in full and on time until 2034. In 2034, social security would still be able to pay about $800 for every 1,000 in benefits scheduled. They just freaking told you right there in 2034 unless something changes. Let's say let's say you get a $1,000 a month.
Well, in 2034, you just got 800 a month unless something changes.
[00:14:17] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, that just means, folks, if you're able to have kids get fricking busy. All right. Because the government done screwed up thinking that everybody was continuing to gonna be popping out kids. Like it was like it was baby boomer season. Well And now now we've got so many we've got so many kids that are so worried about global warming and everything else. They're like, oh, we can't have kids in this environment. We're not doing it. We're not doing our proper part for the for the globe.
[00:14:48] Rich Chelson:
No. No. No. You see, if you do a search and actually what it is, and and I and I've read a few different articles on this, is that the kids nowadays don't wanna work. Like like Well, they're they don't wanna work, but they don't wanna have kids either. Well, true. You've got you've got the twinks or or the dinks dinks. Dual income, no kids.
[00:15:09] Bryan Goodwin:
They're they're all standing around being all happy and proud about it, and then they go off and wonder why at 35, 40 years old, they're, like, going, something's missing in my life. I can't figure out what it is. Right. Maybe I should have had kids. Yeah. But You think? I mean, I a lot of the millennials these days are just going, oh, wait a minute. I guess I probably might have wanted to have kids after all. It's like, yeah. That's kinda what you're made for, dummy. Right. Let's get yourself get out there. You should have been instead of racking up a body count, you should have been racking up kids.
[00:15:45] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. So, yeah, that, I mean, that was in that was in my social security statement.
[00:15:50] Bryan Goodwin:
And and I read, I haven't I haven't sat down and watched, read my social security statement in over Years. No. First time I ever noticed that I had one, I was like, what's this about? And I was like, oh, okay. Well, yeah, I'm not gonna have anything here in, you know, by the time I get to it, probably will only get a quarter of what I actually paid into it. And that's again, thanks to the government, has decided, you know, they were supposed to be essentially put in a lockbox, but then the the the congress was, like, going, hey. We got a lot of money sitting in this cash box over here.
Let's put an IOU. We'll we'll we'll we'll pay it back. We'll pay it back with some interest on it. You know? Oh, wait a minute. Well, we need to get caught up on okay. Oh, oh, well, wait a minute. And now all of a sudden, it's we gotta have the younger crew work for the older crew is is essentially what it is. And you you would get an IOU up for it afterwards. And yet when when George w was wanting to do want to privatize, privatize social security, who the hell
[00:16:55] Rich Chelson:
lost their freaking shit? Oh, I don't know. I was driving a truck. I didn't give a shit. Oh, they,
[00:17:00] Bryan Goodwin:
the, the dims, They're like, oh my god. You gonna trust a private company to be honest with your money? It's like the government does that already. It's like What is your 401 k? Hello? It's stocks and bonds. Right. Exactly. Well, we can't have private industry being able to control our money. It's not controlling. It's your investing. You get to choose where you invest your money. It's like, privatize it because everybody who privatizes, they're the amount of money they walk out with is is exponentially larger. I mean, you look at the it's it's like the, do you want $3,000,000 or, in one lump sum?
Or would you like to have 1 penny that doubles for the next 30 days?
[00:17:52] Rich Chelson:
Shit. I'd love to have 1 penny that double.
[00:17:55] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Because by the end of the 30 days, you have $7,000,000. Right.
[00:18:01] Rich Chelson:
But but you see, that's the thing. Everyone looks at that big number that's right in front of their face. Yeah. And and they don't they don't do the math, you know? Yeah.
[00:18:11] Bryan Goodwin:
So, yeah. And it's and I think, oh, yeah. The government's gonna take care of us. No. The government's job is not to take care of people. No. It's not. That's the thing that just aggravates the crap. I mean, that's more Twitter fights come about from from that type of stuff. Right. Because they'll be standing around going, well, the government should be taken care of us. According to who? Nobody. Tell me anywhere. Government was I it irritates the heck out of me. It's like everybody stomps around and thinks the government should protect them from this, that, and the other. It's like, no, no, that is not it. It's the government, the, the police force that we have is a reactionary force. They're meant to investigate, to lay out the details, find the find the facts, lay out the facts so that they know who wronged who in a court of law. That's all that's about. They're not some they're not and if they did break a law, they they denied somebody their their inherent rights, then that's the law that they broke. That's what laws are actually supposed to be about. Who's who violated the contracts that they agreed with? Who violated whose, whose natural, natural rights?
Not the government given rights because those aren't real rights. If they, if they can be taken away, they're not your right.
[00:19:27] Rich Chelson:
Exactly.
[00:19:28] Bryan Goodwin:
But if you're so, like, life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, you have the right to do that. Doesn't mean you're gonna reach any of it. Doesn't mean you're gonna reach, you know, your your that that prescribed happiness. But you get to chase it. Right. But you get to have the liberty to choose the stupid way of going out if you want. The, the, happiness
[00:19:52] Rich Chelson:
is is is actually is actually, and I'm gonna use a big word here, very subjective because your happiness is not the same as mine or dude's.
[00:20:03] Bryan Goodwin:
You know? And I've always had a problem with the fact that they actually said happiness. And I get from what I've understood from what I've heard, it's was a it was a compromise as to what they were wanting, because it was supposed to be life, liberty, and property. But, again, slavery, they were, like, going, well, that means that people are allowed to have their have slaves, and they're and they weren't they weren't they were actually actively trying to edge out slavery even back when the when the constitution were being that's the whole reason why you've got slaves are only 3 fifths of a, of a person instead of a whole person. And so the the democrats didn't want or the Democrats wanted to have each slave be its own person, then that the the south would have been so powerful. You would have never been able to, to overcome anything. There's still been slavery, or we would have been short, short half the, our our our country would have been half the size.
[00:21:02] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. But I don't know. Screw it. Just punt. No. So it it just yeah. It just shocked me when I got
[00:21:13] Bryan Goodwin:
my, my, Social Security statement. Yeah. Your statement saying, hey. Yeah. You're gonna be short about $200 a month, come in 3034 or 2034.
[00:21:22] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. And I'm like I'm like, really? Really? Really? Really? Really? It's like, that's wrong, man.
[00:21:28] Bryan Goodwin:
I, well, I agree. But I mean, again I mean, this is I think gen z, gen and gen alpha change. Needs to get busy. And luckily, I'm they are. I'm gonna let you know, gen z and alpha are starting to the the older alphas that are actually entering into, the work, environment now, they're starting to wake up and go, oh, wait a minute. Weddings are kinda fun. Okay. It's kinda it's kinda nice to be to be looked at in an adoring manner by a man who is your husband. Right. Weddings are becoming great things. I mean, hell, even Eminem is being has broke the cycle.
He was in he when he was in Detroit, he was around, he grew up in a world of of drugs and crime and and gangs and all that. He just married off his his baby girl. Yeah. I saw that. I saw that. And just is he I'm of course, I'm I'm wondering what type of, voodoo he does because he looks like he's the same age as daughter now.
[00:22:31] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. He's
[00:22:32] Bryan Goodwin:
He's not tall either. I was he's him and his daughter are about the same height, and then her husband's, like, an extra 2 foot taller than both of them. So Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Eminem hasn't changed much at all. No. But it but, some of the some of the comments that that I came across on that were were kinda funny because one guy was, like, going, man, you better hope that Eminem's, or that man doesn't break him and, Hailey's, heart because if if you do, Eminem's got another Grammy in his pocket.
[00:23:08] Rich Chelson:
I mean, I I will say,
[00:23:10] Bryan Goodwin:
you know, I don't listen to all of his music, but he is very good at what he does. Oh, he is an amazing rap and I'm not a rapper fan. Right. There are only 2 2 big rap well, they're I I I don't know who actually sang the act the the third group of the song. But Beastie Boys, M and M, and the the it was, it was a a spoof group that that did it. But, in the, in the mid eighties, there was a song called the stutters rap done by a British group and just I thought that was the best damn song ever. And,
[00:23:45] Rich Chelson:
No. No. Wait. Wait. You you were freaking I mean, you went back. The Beastie Boys? Yeah. They, they were okay.
[00:23:55] Bryan Goodwin:
But, oh, no, no. I'm sorry. We're going to have to turn this show off now. We're going to have to mute it. No. I don't think so. Sorry. Yeah. No. The beastie boys were not just okay.
[00:24:05] Rich Chelson:
Grandmaster fly.
[00:24:07] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, they were the okay. But but the Beastie Boys, they were great. I mean, come on. Everybody listens to listen to, licensed ill. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it yeah. It was yeah. It was okay. Yeah. Yeah. I wish it was okay. It was better than okay.
[00:24:25] Duuude-Ron :
They were great. Is that is that the song that's no is that the song that's no sleep till Brooklyn?
[00:24:30] Bryan Goodwin:
That has this album had no sleep till Brooklyn, girls. You know, that song. So you got, like, Girls, Brass Monkey. I hate that song. Oh, come on. Mean, hate that song. Well, it wasn't the best. It wasn't the best of their album, the best. But, but I mean, yeah, Fight For Your Right, was on there. But, yeah, I've heard that song, like like, 10,000,000 times. It's like Yeah. But then you've got Sabotage, which was in 91, 92, something like that. That was that was a great, great song. I had a lot of a lot of kickass songs. Sadly, I mean, who is it? Mike d that, that died, several years ago? So Oh, I don't know. But yeah. No. That was that was awesome. They get but, yeah, the Beastie Boys, yeah, they were they were an awesome awesome rap group. I mean, they're
[00:25:26] Rich Chelson:
But but you're sitting here putting them on the same level as Eminem. Yeah. You kill me, Brian. You kill me. Yeah.
[00:25:37] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, man. Well, it's true. I mean, none of them are, you know, of the same same caliber. Well, I mean, Eminem is, is up there, but I mean, but, you know, with Snoop Dogg and doctor Dre and any of them and it's not that I kinda listen to a lot of it. I I listen to, you know, you've got a lot of the, a lot of the well known songs that would be played. Whether I liked it or not, they they were getting played. Right. Never I've never been a huge rap fan, but for for but I did always enjoy the Beastie Boys. Always enjoyed a lot of the just the snark weirdness. Now when he got into the real Eminem got into the dark, twisted, dark area of his life and stuff, There was a couple of those songs in there. I was just going, alright. Yeah. We're not we're not playing this one. This is Yeah. This is just getting a little bizarre and and and, creepy. No. There was, yeah, there was a time. No. But but still, the thing is,
[00:26:38] Rich Chelson:
what I'm saying about Eminem, if you he's a rapper. Most rappers in, in my eyes or ears, I can't hear all the words they're saying. With M and M, you can hear every freaking word he says. How all of a sudden all of a sudden, I'd comments and the sound effects he adds into it. So Yeah. And and and, you know, that's the thing. It's weird because if you actually sit and listen to Eminem, even though he's rapping and rapping fast, you can hear every single word. Oh, yeah. I I it's like it's like that's talent. I don't care who you are. That's talent. You know? That absolutely. I mean, listening
[00:27:17] Bryan Goodwin:
to the listening to to many of his of his songs. And, I mean, at first, I it was, and I had just happened to have a friend who was big into them, and he kinda helped walk me into the world of of Eminem to where I was like, oh, okay. Okay. I can at least I'm catching a lot of, like, you know, a lot of the the the different, aspects, but Right. Right. Yeah. Any y'all ever watch, this was always a, this is one of the weird little trivial things that I came across, that I've discovered that just still completely blows my mind. Either one of y'all watch NCIS
[00:27:54] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. With,
[00:27:55] Bryan Goodwin:
Mark Harmon? Alright. Yeah. You remember, remember the doctor that was down in the morning to work with Abby had the, had glasses, the old dude, ducky. Yeah. Ducky. Yeah. You know, he was a musician.
[00:28:07] Rich Chelson:
No. Did not know that. Yeah.
[00:28:09] Bryan Goodwin:
The, oh, let me we're gonna go for great, great video again. But, yeah, his name is, McCollum. McCollum. I can't I'm mentioning it all of a sudden. I think it's David McCollum.
[00:28:23] Rich Chelson:
Yes. Yes. Owen. Oh, Owen Yeah. David McCollum. While you're looking that up, do you know it's World Turtle Day? It's World Turtle Day, Yeah. It is May 23rd. Every year is World Turtle Day.
[00:28:37] Bryan Goodwin:
Why is that World Turtle Day? Well, World
[00:28:40] Rich Chelson:
Turtle Day is celebrated every year on May 23rd to honor and protect turtles and tortoises, the oldest living reptiles on earth. Just a little bit of tidbit of information that is useless.
[00:28:54] Duuude-Ron :
Squirrel.
[00:28:57] Rich Chelson:
Right? Squirrel.
[00:29:00] Bryan Goodwin:
Okay. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. So anyhow yeah. But but we're but anyhow, back to, David McCollum. David McCollum did, in the we've all heard the song, what is it? Shit. I Think it's, the next episode. I don't know them very well. But anyhow, he, David McCollum wrote a song, did it performed a song called The Edge. Okay. And it is actually I've gotta listen now. I gotta it's bugging me too much. I can't tell. Again, still very, very, very high quality, podcasting here. Yeah. There's, David and yeah. That's it. I don't know if you had been able to. If I play this, I don't know. Can you hear it? I just wanna play just a very little bit of it so we don't get taken down, but tell me if you can hear it. Were you able to hear any of that? No. No? Okay. Yeah. Okay. I wasn't. So so But anyhow, let's see here.
[00:29:52] Duuude-Ron :
Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Alright. There it is. It is. Alright.
[00:29:56] Bryan Goodwin:
In the, the the very, very beginning, the the intro, the the instrumental part of Snoop Dogg and Doctor Dre's the next episode. Mhmm. The one that goes I'm not even gonna try to rap because one, I don't sound anything like Snoop Dogg and it's too no. It it wouldn't work. So so. I just gotta I just gotta along with it. But anyhow, that song, that the the music that you actually hear in that is David McCollum. Really? Yeah. That is ducky from NCIS
[00:30:34] Rich Chelson:
playing the edge. Oh my gosh. Okay. I I've I've I have a note over here, so I'm a have to look this up. I've Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:30:42] Bryan Goodwin:
Next episode is the, is the is the one everybody knows. Probably one of the greatest, rap R and B tracks out there. Yeah. And then, the then David McCollum's, the edge is is the is the the song that you're actually hearing as they rap to it. So Okay. Okay. So so anyhow, there's my squirrel moment. So Big squirrel. Squirrel? What? Where? Where? Right? So alright. Well, we're gonna jump over to the fact that they're when it comes to HOAs, they suck balls. All right. I don't know anybody who has really ever had
[00:31:24] Rich Chelson:
a homeowners association. Oh, I've known a few people and some like them and some hate them. Well, you've had you were in,
[00:31:31] Bryan Goodwin:
HOA for a little while. Weren't you? The lake, community?
[00:31:34] Rich Chelson:
Nah. It was it was a POA, which is the same thing. Okay. You know? And no. POA does not stand piece of ass. Oh,
[00:31:43] Bryan Goodwin:
well, that's what you always call them. Bunch of pieces of ass.
[00:31:47] Rich Chelson:
Well, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I did not refer to him in in the kind way of
[00:31:53] Bryan Goodwin:
anyway. So but anyhow, HOAs I mean, you could you can go on TikTok and just type up HOA. And you're seeing people who are just repeatedly getting harassed by Karens and h o a directors who have who have short dick syndrome. And these are just very evident they're short dick man because they have so much just piss and betrayal about them that you it's just they're out to make people miserable. They find themselves, oh, I'm in a, I'm I'm the director over the local HOA and so I've you know, because they somehow have the power to steal
[00:32:36] Rich Chelson:
property from people. But but hold on. Hold on. Hold on, though. And you're right. You're you're a 100% right. But these people
[00:32:46] Bryan Goodwin:
that are bitching about it chose to live there. Oh, I agree. I agree. I don't think they ever really knew what they were getting into, which is kind of the reason why I wanna bring this up as a as a PSA.
[00:32:58] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right. Because
[00:33:00] Bryan Goodwin:
you are going to get people with with power trips. Now, like I said, I understand why HOAs exist. They are put together to try to help the, a neighborhood maintain high property values.
[00:33:13] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[00:33:14] Bryan Goodwin:
And that's their whole purpose. That's all it is. It's to, you know, to keep the busted down cars on blocks out of the front yard, you know, that all those things that bring the property values down. The problem is is that it also gives a channel for little bitch ass Hitlers to walk in and and start going, you know what? I don't like how you did this. And you'll see, you'll have people come in going, you should know that, according to our rules in part part 7 of, blah blah blah state, title 7, you're not allowed to have red mulch in your in your flower beds. Oh, yeah. They are. They are that bad. And it's like, fuck you. I'm about to paint my shutters purple because of you. So if you want want me to make this place an atrocious wreck, let me know, Bubba, because I'm going to make your life hell. But see but see this But they get to the When the houses are sold
[00:34:13] Rich Chelson:
when the houses are sold to these people, either these people don't read the full contract or they don't have it looked at. And the, HOA sells them to where that if you don't honor the rules and regulations, they can actually kick you out of the HOA Yeah. Which actually removes you from the house From your house. That that you're buying for. Right. And say that's where that's where mine was different because they were stupid when they sold
[00:34:44] Bryan Goodwin:
it. You know, they're go they've got that buttoned up if, you ever sell your house. They're gonna be like, fucking hell. This is didn't change. I hear it. Boom. Alright.
[00:34:53] Rich Chelson:
But but now, where where I lived, when they sold you land, they sold it by a quitclaim deed. They released all liability, all liens, all everything to it. So Oh, wow. So when you bought property at this property owners association, you bought it lock stock and barrel. And then, and then after you do that, they're like, oh, but you have to follow these rules. No, I don't.
[00:35:22] Bryan Goodwin:
The only thing I have to do, if if I wanna, wanna partake in your lake, then I have to partake in your rules.
[00:35:29] Rich Chelson:
Exactly. And that's in but but yeah. And see, that's the thing. And and this is why I don't like HOAs. You know, like you said, you know you know, if you have red mulch and that's against the rules, you know, and and it's your cost. It's not the HOA gonna pay for it. You're gonna pay for all that mold.
[00:35:48] Bryan Goodwin:
Right. And but what really got the got my attention is over in Wyoming. And Wyoming. I don't know if Wyoming is just so spread out that the homeowners associations to have a decent, neighborhood, they actually have spread out into the country. But a homeowners association actually got a winery
[00:36:07] Rich Chelson:
shut down. How did they do that? Because they're fucking evil. Well, hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Why why in the world would an HOA get a winery shut down? Because when,
[00:36:19] Bryan Goodwin:
Because, honestly, because if I This is my opinion. If we were to actually if we were to just go into Karen and and, and Kevin's head and look in, I bet you one or both of more likely the Karen, if I had to really guess, wanted to do the winery idea herself. And it was like, oh, they beat me to it. I'm just gonna have to make their life hell for that one.
[00:36:47] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. And then shut him down and then And get him shut down. Yeah. Yeah. And then shut down and then Well, I I don't think she's I think she's
[00:36:55] Bryan Goodwin:
she is just so hell bent that she didn't think of the, think of doing it. I don't even think she wants to have the have a a winery. She may be out to set up one, but she may just be one of those who just wants sports to Earth. It's like, I'm not getting it. Nobody here is ever getting it. So Right. You know? And it's just it's like miserable people. And I granted yeah. It is that's the whole reason why we've had a rise of Karens is thanks to thanks to lockdowns. We've always had Karens. We've always had the self entitled Watts that are that run around. Right.
But they've gotten worse now because they didn't have the, the power of agency there in 9, in in 1920 and 2020. They didn't have the power to go. You know what? I don't wanna be locked down. I don't, you know, I didn't have the guts to stand up and tell the governor of whichever state that there happened to be in at that moment. No. Or the mayor or whoever it is that wanted to do, do their lockdown in their particular area. Right. Going, no, this is I'm going to out and walk your law, your rules. We know for a fact that that COVID is not,
[00:38:10] Rich Chelson:
doesn't reside 5 feet above the floor. Right. But but wait, the the freaking Karens basically swallowed everything the news the news media was saying about COVID. Yeah. And we And they're pissed about it now. And, and, and the thing is though, instead of standing up to the people that they needed to stand up to and tell no to, oh, no. Now
[00:38:32] Bryan Goodwin:
they're going after you, me. Yeah. They wanna make sure everyone else. They want to feel like they have some type of control in their life. Well, you know what? That dog And they did. They they have all the control they want. But the problem is is they want to have enough control to where they feel like they have an influence. And so they have to go out. Can I make this person miserable? Oh, they can try. Yes. It worked. I have an influence in this life. I can influence a person's life. This is amazing. So you have, like, the barbecue you've had the rise of the barbecue Karens, the beach Karens. Beach Karens are always amazingly stupid, but still, you Yeah. No.
[00:39:11] Rich Chelson:
You see, that's the thing. You know? Me, I wouldn't let him get me upset. I'd, you know, I'd just look at him, turn around, and walk away.
[00:39:19] Bryan Goodwin:
It's like, I ain't I ain't got time. I wouldn't walk away. I would just stand there and let him look like an absolute fool. I would pull a a, what was that kid's name? Sandman. Sandman. Sandman. He was the, the the kid who wore was wearing the make America great cap at, at Washington. Yeah. The MAGA hat that was and and a, a Native American, Libtard was doing his own little protest around the, the Washington Memorial. I think it was Washington Memorial. I'm pretty sure it was Washington Memorial. But, yeah, in Washington DC and saw this kid and just lost his shit. And I wanna say his name was Andrew Sandman, but I'm not I don't think that's right. Anyhow, his last name was Sandman, Sandman. Okay. And he was a he did beautifully. He did, because he was part of a private, private school that was just doing a tour of Washington DC.
I had MAGA hat on, and this guy start started throwing a fit, lost his shit because of the red hat that said, make America great again. And by god, you know, you can't have make America great again. We gotta have it a great a great and terrible dystopian because making America great again is too bad. It's an awful idea. So we're gonna build that better. And, but he stood there with a wonderful little smirk on his face. And it was beautiful. The way that this high school kid remained composed as this unhinged Indian was in his face, just just spitting out as much vile, betrayal, and hatred towards the world. And he just stood there and he just took it. And he's like going, dude, you don't bother me.
You have no control over me. And that's what I love trying to tell the man that I, that I'm helping is, dude, nobody has power over you except for you. You wanna feel better? Sweet. Make the choice. I am not going to be feeling down about X, Y, and Z. My boss has no control over. I am going to, he can sit there and say I'm fired and I can smile and whistled zippity dude all out of my asshole. And I'm just okay with it. Right. That would be a talent is trying to do that. Oh, yeah. No. No. You gotta pucker just right. You know, it's, it's a lot of cheek work. So
[00:41:47] Rich Chelson:
I really I really did need to know the, mechanics of it, but thank you. Well, I'm I'm I'm here to I'm here to educate,
[00:41:55] Bryan Goodwin:
man. But but now it's just, he he did such a great job. And that's what, if you wanna defeat a Karen and just watch her have a complete and total meltdown. Now granted, there's a good chance she's going to end up getting physical because like I said, she wants to know she has control over something. She has influence in her space. And it may be that she takes a, takes a lawn, a, a, a grocery cart, slams it into your car. Yeah. That would be a, if it gets you to respond. And, yeah, I think I think a lot of these women probably a lot of folks would calm down the moment they went off and pissed off the wrong hillbilly.
[00:42:37] Rich Chelson:
Mhmm. Because next thing you know, she's going she's gonna wind up having having her her ass higher than her than her head because he's gonna literally kick it. Yeah. Yeah. Because yeah. You see this thing, you know. I mean, I don't understand why these people think that they have to try and get physical with you or or force you into something. Because, I mean, I I don't like to fight, but I would fight. You know? And and if and if someone tries to endanger me or my property, I'm gonna protect it.
[00:43:08] Bryan Goodwin:
And I I don't care who it is. Precisely. And I mean, that's how that's how. Most most people will be the proper standing upstanding people will do just that. I mean, you have, like, the folks over in California. Sadly, they just they're they're they're at the point right now since they can't actually defend their property, they just roll all windows down, open up the trunk so that their windows don't get busted, and they have to replace the window again. Oh, yeah. They don't leave anything in the car, but they had still have everything open so that because the guys don't even try the door handles. They just walk up with a window buster and pow, bop it, you know, just one of those, punch pins. And it's for you they even have a chance to even check anything. They pop they busted a window. They feel around and can't see, oh, there's nothing in here, and they continue on. And Mhmm. And that's that's sad because if you if those kids were in any place other than the the democratic hell hole that they're in. They would learn really quick. Well, there would be there. We would have BLM riots again because someone would got fed up with it and and used a weapon on them. Now I'm really surprised people haven't gotten that fed up yet. Now now I've caught, some where they're actually starting to use, use paintballs because apparently there was a couple of fat ass dudes, and they were just blobs of of of just flesh and which was kinda funny. But they were hell bent on stealing this guy's, catalytic converter.
Okay. Well, I mean, and, they caught money at the scrapyard for this. Oh, yeah. Well, yeah. Because you got you got, platinum and other very rare metals inside
[00:44:50] Rich Chelson:
there. Mhmm.
[00:44:51] Bryan Goodwin:
But this guy had a I think it's a Toyota. And so it was just high enough off the ground. These badasses could slide underneath and try to and grab their their sawzalls and and go to work. Mhmm. And he had a camera set up, and he saw them come out there. And so him and a buddy of his and some one other, one of the other guys, they showed up with, paintball equipment and just started unleashing on those exposed bellies. Oh, that's true. And just and just covering the windshield of their car and, I mean, everything. That And and You ever been as they were trying to get away, and they couldn't get away fast enough. You ever been No. I haven't. No. I I haven't. I mean, I've I've held onto 1, so I know it there it's not thin plastic. No. It's thick plastic. So it takes a little bit of force to hit and to splat. Well,
[00:45:40] Rich Chelson:
well, now I've played paintball a couple times because, you know, I I mean, it's fun. But, yeah, I've been shot up close, point blank range. Oh my God. That that hurts. That really hurts. And and it would not okay. Check this out. Since how you brought up paintball, you brought this story up. Me, Matt, and Brian were were out in the woods in Arkansas playing paintball. Right? Uh-huh. And and I was I was hiding behind this tree. Matt was probably, I don't know, 30, 40 yards away, buying another tree. And he shot at me. Now I'm telling you, I watched this paintball fly through the air like this at me. No. It's actually side to side? And and and the thing is, I was trying to gauge it to where I could sidestep it and get out of the way.
Well, I stepped the wrong way, and I got to get in ads,
[00:46:39] Bryan Goodwin:
man.
[00:46:40] Rich Chelson:
Drive me like a sack of taters. I'm telling you, dude, I I mean, I mean, we stopped because, I mean, I I didn't get out for a good solid minute. You know, Matt and Brian come up and said, dude, you alright? And I'm just rolling on the ground, you know, just fucking holding my junk because, dude, that hurt.
[00:47:03] Duuude-Ron :
That freaking hurt. So And thank goodness there wasn't a frozen paintball.
[00:47:09] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Thank God. Thank God it wasn't a frozen paintball. Yeah. Just think, guys.
[00:47:15] Bryan Goodwin:
Rich's voice used to be deeper than that than it is now.
[00:47:22] Rich Chelson:
Don't get hit in that. Wear a cup Yeah. If you're paying for it. On the inside, the outside, it don't matter as long as you wear Oh my God. Some of the shit we've already come up with, dude.
[00:47:35] Bryan Goodwin:
So, all right. Well, we're gonna, Ron is gonna get to do a lot of talking today because you were here yesterday. You had kind of a, of an exciting day. Kind as day. You were visited by a big bag of wind, and it wasn't a politician from what I understand.
[00:47:54] Duuude-Ron :
No. It was bigger than a politician. That's for sure. Yeah. An extremely large bag of wind. And I don't know if you guys can see it yet. I sent a picture on the plat on our Zoom platform. And, the tornado, it it was roughly the touchdown was probably within miles of my house. Now my house did not get affected. Thank goodness. Okay. Gotcha. It didn't it it did not uproot the house and throw it across the neighborhood. I was actually one of the lucky ones. But, yeah, we had a tornado come through few miles touched down from my house, and we had 80 to 100 mile an hour winds easily for, I'd say, a duration of 5, 8 minutes where it was a constant 80 to 200 mile an hour gust. Wind. Yeah. Yep. And so it took down it uprooted a lot of trees in my neighborhood.
Right. Power was out. As a matter of fact, I have a small woods behind my house. I don't have another somebody's backyard connected to my backyard. I have a, you know, a field with some woodlands in that, but the trees in those woods have never been trimmed. And when one of those trees decided to come down on top of my neighbor's house and went through his roof, It also took the power lines down. And and for me that I don't have asked all my stuff that I did area. And you know, that would be Cellular Chinese?
[00:49:49] Bryan Goodwin:
Dude. No wrong one. I'm putting I was gonna say you hit the wrong one. Oh, well. Yes, darling. You were breaking up a little bit there, Ron.
[00:50:05] Rich Chelson:
Oh,
[00:50:06] Bryan Goodwin:
now it's time.
[00:50:10] Rich Chelson:
Cellular Chinese.
[00:50:16] Duuude-Ron :
Okay.
[00:50:20] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, there he went. Daniel? What what did he say he he was It's something about down lines, about a mile and a half,
[00:50:29] Rich Chelson:
or something like that, and then he dropped. So Okay. Yeah. I was I, yeah, I heard something vaguely right there before he dropped. Dude, you back? He's coming back.
[00:50:40] Bryan Goodwin:
Just about there he is. Alright. Wow. I'm on, but I'm not on. You're you're here, but you you're gone, baby. So well, anyway, you were saying something about power lines or something like that. We're down for a mile, mile something. Well,
[00:50:58] Duuude-Ron :
every day I don't know how long this power line extension is from, you know, all the neighborhoods. So it's probably about a mile long. But there are there are several portions of this power line that are down on the ground right now. Gotcha. Wow. And I have not seen anybody from the electric company drive down my road to survey any damage. However, the people right across the street from me have power. That is just funny. Lucky that. Gotta love how the grid works.
[00:51:35] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm I mean, trying to understand a grid is so would be confusing at best.
[00:51:43] Bryan Goodwin:
And that, I mean, it is. It's a marvelous, delicate balancing, balancing act. That's one reason why when, the Eastern seaboard went down back in the eighties. And it took them like a week to get back up was because that's, again, they had to balance stuff because they set something up wrong and it's and it looped back, it would end up tripping everything off again.
[00:52:07] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. See see why why did they have to make things so complicated?
[00:52:12] Bryan Goodwin:
Because to make it that complicated, they got they can it ensures that the most people have the most, the most amount of power when they need it. And that intellectual Except for me.
[00:52:25] Duuude-Ron :
Well Except for me. Except for you. Except for Except for me. Well, and except for us.
[00:52:33] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. In the wintertime, but we have ice When we have ice storms, our town our little, old Podunk town of, you know, 500 people or so, last one to get electricity back on. Been Hey. I've lived I've lived there. Oh, I've lived there coming up on I think we've been there for 18 years now, and there has been 4 times that we were out of power because of an ice storm at this, and got power back because of it within within a week. Sometimes it'd be 3 days. Any more from 3 days to a week, it took the now the one that, like, we had it was kinda funny because we both time they're for a while. I didn't think I didn't think mom was ever gonna come back in business because 2 happened in the same year. We had 2 major ice storms. She came down for Thanksgiving.
Yeah. We were out of power for Thanksgiving.
[00:53:28] Rich Chelson:
And so Getting back candlelight.
[00:53:30] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. And it was well, Thanksgiving by we cooked our food on the, on the wood burning stove. Thank god we had that wood burning stove or we would've been just shit out of luck because yeah. But, so we they're cold as hell. I mean, my house is, is about as well insulated as a sieve. So it's you get you get the north wind blowing. You feel you feel it on the floor. So it's the house gets cold. It's and and stuff. And if we don't run the, the stove, then we're at a nice, comfortable 50 degrees, maybe, like that grate. I mean, even when, even when we had power and, the the great freeze of 2021 where everybody was down to, like, minus 15 Mhmm. In the day for the week.
Mhmm. We, you know, our house was was staying at a nice constant 40, 45 degrees that whole time. I mean, we were an icebox. And we I had the I had the stove going. I was throwing everything I had. I was cutting up I was cutting up old wood panels, and I know you're not supposed supposed to burn, burn pine, but at the same time, I was keeping that some of a bit hot enough. I don't think you were collecting any any creosote in that thing. So
[00:54:50] Rich Chelson:
No.
[00:54:51] Bryan Goodwin:
No. So it was I mean, we were throwing everything in there. I and, I mean, I went through a shit ton of wood, for that week. And, man. And so, but the maybe. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It was probably about a cord, I would say. By the time we got done with all of that, I ended up having to call, my wood guy, to come in and give me one. Poor Gary Burnham. He he sat sorry to hear. He he left us about, 3 years ago. So he's Oh, that's clever. Yeah. He he walked off the mortal plane and with stomach cancer. Oh. But, and he was a good one too. I mean, it was like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And, I mean, if we were running low, he's like, don't sweat it, man. You I I know where you live. I'll I'll knock on your door next week and and snag it. It's like, alright. And usually, next week, he'd come along and say, hey. You happen to have it? I was like, yeah. Right. Right there. Sweet. Awesome. And way you'd go. No no, no if, ands, or buts about it. He would just come by about he knew about every 2 weeks. On average, typically, I would need another rig.
And so he would he would stop by, and I'd come I'd drive home, from work, and all of a sudden there'd be a pile of a pile of wood in the in in the yard. I was like, oh, okay. So I'd just get a get a little a a envelope ready for him and and let Janet know that he was probably gonna be coming by here later on if I weren't around. But, Yeah. It was a so we had a a Thanksgiving, ice storm, and then she decided, alright. Well, I'm gonna come back for Christmas. Came back for Christmas and not Christmas Eve and Christmas day, but 26th. Here comes another ice storm, and we were down again for another freaking week.
You just couldn't win for losing. No. No. And I mean, you go we what we don't wind up doing on on that one was was like, alright. Screw it. We're gonna we're gonna be broke, as as shit for the next next 2 2 weeks or even longer. I know. But still And we just went ahead and and got a happened to be able to get a, a a hotel room in, in Elk City. Okay. And, I mean, it because we were from Canute and they knew that the power was out, we were able to get a decent decent price, but at the same time, it was just like if I didn't know the people at, at, at the Econo Lodge or not Econo Lodge, a Travel Inn Mhmm. Uh-huh.
I would've, yeah. Yeah. We would've been in we'd been in a in a world of hurt because, I mean, everybody in Canute had gotten up and went into and went into Elk City just about. So except for those that had their, had, generators. So yeah. Oh, it is. It's terrible whenever we we lose power because we are the last people to get the power on. That's man, that's crazy.
[00:57:35] Duuude-Ron :
And you know And this is how the Go ahead. Thankfully, talking about generators. Thankfully, I have my little portable generator that has been keeping the fridge, powered up, the fans That's and my little air window air conditioning. At least the, living room area is cooled down, so I brought my air mattress into the living room and, you know, sleeping in there for the Oh, yeah. The cool. So, yeah. Hey, man. The generator has saved me. That is for sure.
[00:58:09] Rich Chelson:
Well, that's you see, that's the thing. You know? I need to get my generator and bring it down because,
[00:58:17] Bryan Goodwin:
hurricane season is starting June 1st down here. Yeah. I was gonna say you're coming up here next week. Yeah. Yeah. I was sitting there watching, reading some, reading some news on that, and, apparently, they've already they think they may have somebody something forming up off the coast of Africa already.
[00:58:35] Rich Chelson:
So Yeah. I saw I saw something about it, and they said, yeah. I'd saw that. And, they said it's it's it's staying out in the Atlantic, and it's not supposed to do anything. Yeah. But they're like, this is like the precursor to and and what I've heard is that it is supposed to be an active year
[00:58:55] Bryan Goodwin:
for hurricane. They've said it's supposed to be an active year the past past 6 years, though. Oh, see. Well, they're they're predicting, like, 18 to 20 this year. Yes. Yeah. Well, they predict 18 to 20 every year. I mean, it's just and then they go, oh, well, we had a surprisingly light. It's like, yeah. I know you're drooling at the fact that you want a hurricane. Y'all want to y'all gotta have something to be able to blame global warming on, which if they actually understood anything about global warming, they would cheer the fact that there were no hurricanes because hurricanes are the ocean's air conditioner.
[00:59:31] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[00:59:32] Bryan Goodwin:
So when they spin up, they actually cool the the the oceans down. So there's running around going, the oceans are warming. We're gonna be boiling, you know, here within the next, 12 years, except for the fact that we'll keep having tornado or not tornado, but, hurricanes that keep cooling the water down. So, no, we're not getting a we're not the the oceans ain't warming because we're we have a, we have hurricanes. Now these past past 6 years or so, they've been just chopping at the bit, claiming that, oh, yeah. We're gonna have an exceptionally, busy year and they get, you know what was it? Last year, I they actually had a decent number, that came through, but, but there's been a couple of where it's, like, we only had, like, 1 or 2 actually make landfall.
Right. Right. And I granted, yeah, one of them, I think, slid up, slid up the coast, got to got to to New York, which was, you know, a rare occurrence, except it's it's happened twice in the last last 10, 15 years. Oh my god. It's never before seen except for the last time it was seen. And and the time before that, the time before that, and the time before that, and the time before that. It's the storm of a lifetime.
[01:00:43] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 2 years ago, we heard the same thing. Yeah. You know? It's a 100 year storm.
[01:00:52] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. Yeah. 98 years early.
[01:00:57] Rich Chelson:
I know. It's it's it's like you see, this is what I was saying. People have the attention span of a freaking gnat because Yeah. Because 2 years ago, you could have a major storm that can knock out a lot of shit. And then 2 year later, they have another storm. Oh, this is the 100 year storm, and they said those same exact words then. Yeah. 2 years ago. Yeah. And and and freaking no one can they're like, oh, they can't put 22 together and say, like, you know, oh, hold it. We just had one. They're like Right. Oh, no. Toilet paper. We need toilet paper.
[01:01:35] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. I mean, come on now. It's what they do. Run the storm But but at the same time, and paper. Yeah. And they do because thanks to mainstream media. Exactly. The media is so hell bent on making sure they push the whole environmental, the the green religion upon everybody that, you know, the end is near. The end is near. Clang clang clang clang clang clang. You know, they're going they're they ring this bell, staying make trying to make sure that they see that everybody sees the world's coming to an end. We're supposed to be we were supposed to be dying of of, you know, of rising, ocean levels. 40 years ago, they were talking about rising oh, no longer than that. 60 years ago because it was back in the sixties, that they were talking about. Seventies and eighties, we were getting the ice age that was, supposed to be coming in. Yeah. Yeah. We're hearing about that. Yeah. Ice aids and then no one really cared about that, so they're like, oh, we got a hole in the ozone. We got a hole in the ozone where everybody's gonna get cancer now. Yeah. And that was the eighties. Yep. I'll which which coincided interestingly enough with the expiration of 3 m's patent on the refrigerant that they had at that time. Which one?
The the one for the eighties. I think it was the, what, the, r twelve or whatever?
[01:02:58] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. I think so because, yeah, r twelve. R twelve was being hammered, and then I think r 34 came out.
[01:03:05] Bryan Goodwin:
And r 34 came out after that, and it Yeah. And you were able to use it all the way up until about 4 or 5 years ago, and all of a sudden, you have a different can. So your old your old, Freon charger, chargers don't work. It has to be a special one that screws on, and it's got a little little rubber stopper dilly in there. Yeah. Oh, hold on here. Check this out. In in the eighties,
[01:03:31] Rich Chelson:
see, a can of r 12, refrigerant was expensive. I mean, it I I think it was like 12, $15 a can.
[01:03:40] Bryan Goodwin:
And the cans are only like about 10. Yeah. Yeah. They're they're little little pie cans. Yeah. But okay. Now when, r 34 came out Yeah. I think it's big ass tall ass cans there. But
[01:03:51] Rich Chelson:
but the price of r 12 went down to 3.
[01:03:56] Bryan Goodwin:
$3. Oh, yeah. Well, yeah, because it's And it's not allowed anymore. It it was it was actually it's supposed to actually be illegal to use.
[01:04:04] Rich Chelson:
But but you see, that's the thing. All these auto shops were still still selling it because some cars, some older cars, that's all they ran on. Yeah. The only and and and the thing is before with r twelve, you had to have a license to to put it in and stuff like that. Yeah. Well, when r 34 came out, they just moved all the rules over to r 34 and dropped the rules on r 12 because Yep. You could then go buy r 12 and install it yourself. Yep. Really? What's the big deal here? So freaking government being stupid.
[01:04:38] Bryan Goodwin:
This government want make sure they're controlling everything. But, yeah, it's but you've got they were talking about in the sixties about how the world was was warming and that we were supposed the ocean waters were supposed to rise and all that. Mhmm. Except for the fact that still there's still shit tons of people. I mean, hell, the Obamas just you know, once they got out of office, where'd they buy a freaking house at? On the coast. If they're if they're going they know that here in 12 years, my this property ain't gonna worth worth shit. I wouldn't be moving to the coast.
I would've been going to Rocky Mountains, and I'm gonna park my happy ass on the top of Pikes Peak and just say salute, folks.
[01:05:22] Rich Chelson:
Right. But but you see that they're that they're just because to show you how much
[01:05:28] Bryan Goodwin:
both things could apply yeah. People don't apply 2 and 2 together.
[01:05:33] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Well, not only that, They can listen to the science and all like that and still ignore it because they don't believe it's gonna happen. And the thing is, where's the proof? If the oceans were freaking gonna flood and, you know, flood, you know, the world and stuff like this, like like the doomsday or scientists are saying or Yeah. Whatever. You know, it's like, where's the proof? Just because just because up in Greenland or Iceland, dioxide
[01:06:11] Bryan Goodwin:
in the even the scientists have gone off forgot. What happens when you increase carbon dioxide in the world? Does it warm up? Yes. It does. It is a greenhouse gas. That they didn't get that wrong, but you get more plant growth. Right. You know, they were there was actually a really good they have they was they were you know, if if y'all are listening, move put your hands just you know, your finger finger and your thumb just, you know, just barely apart from each other. They were that close to being able to predict an actual problem when they were cutting down all the when they were throwing a big fit about all the jungles, and the, the Amazon being cut down and cut back for for farmland.
That was something to be worried about because, yeah, we were decreasing plants. We were decreasing plants so the c 02 was gonna fall. And we were actually in a c02, drought there for for a long while. And we're just now starting starting to pull out of it. And all these scientists are trying to trying to clang the bell going, oh my god. Well, c o two's climbing. Well, yeah. Thankfully, We dodged a bullet because if we got down any lower on our c o two, Lance would've stopped existing.
[01:07:37] Rich Chelson:
Right.
[01:07:38] Bryan Goodwin:
And then all the the hell would would break loose. We wouldn't die because of flaming ice, icebergs, granted, but, you know, not being able to breathe is kinda kind of a kind of a bad deal.
[01:07:51] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Just a little bit. You know?
[01:07:53] Bryan Goodwin:
But the reason why they're throwing all this fit is because they want control. Mhmm. That's the that's the full thing. They want you to be as scared and and knocked back on your heels as possible so that they go, oh, hey. By the way, yeah, you probably, you wanna panic about this. And they're doing a good job. I mean, come on. The birth rate's falling for the like, we were talking earlier. Right. Birth rates are falling for for millennials, gen z's, and gen alpha. And that's thanks to the fact that they think that the world's coming to an end, so they better not have kids.
[01:08:26] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. And the thing is and when when gen z, the millennials, and gen alpha or the alphas
[01:08:34] Bryan Goodwin:
get wake up, you know, it's gonna be 10, 15 years down the road. And, oh, I'm too old to have kids. Well, you know what? Freaking adopt it. Well, they're gonna they're they're already discovering this. A lot of women are all of a sudden getting to 40 years old and realizing, oh, it's really hard to get pregnant when you're 40. Yeah. Yeah. That's it is. It is. You it's kinda hard to get pregnant when you don't have any eggs available anymore. Right. And no. Sitting there going, well, I'll just freeze some eggs. That doesn't work either. You should have gone ahead and, yes, I know I'm should all over everybody. But at the same time, you should have been looking at getting married. 1 That is terrible. A lot of the a lot of the women are too hard now. Oh, yeah. Well, walking women today would have been a lot happier.
Just kinda like, oh, what's his name, the the kicker from, the Kansas City Chiefs who just just let the the the feminist, the feminazi's hair on fire. I mean, they were throwing a bit, just jumping up and down, screaming, clutching pearls, their boobs, their their balls, and anything else they could hold on to. Because goddamn if if some some kicker from the Kansas City Chiefs Chiefs did come down on a and speak to a bunch of of kids, and this chi this kicker, is is a devout, Catholic
[01:10:05] Rich Chelson:
Mhmm. With 2 a of his name.
[01:10:08] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep. Ballon, Ballinger, Baller, but I I I don't watch football, so I it's like yeah. This dude. So you've you've got the better, the better deal. So, yeah, the Benedictine College, speech that lit feminists hit.
[01:10:27] Rich Chelson:
Harrison Booker.
[01:10:28] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Booker. Yeah. Yeah. Booker. So, yeah, Harrison, he's a he's a Catholic talking to a Catholic, college. Oh, wow. And he told them, hey, you're y'all are going to, some of y'all are going to go off and have a wonderful career. And some of y'all are going to realize that you got sold a big lie and that you probably would have been happier if you had actually had had kids. Oh. And a lot of y'all are going to step back, and he was talk and he did. He talked about how they were Well, I mean, I mean, they were great. A lot of the girls would be happier if they if they when they become homemakers.
Right. Oh, yeah. Because he used homemaker, oh my god. You would assume that he walked around and just called every woman in there, hey, chick, and just watch them just.
[01:11:21] Rich Chelson:
Oh, man. Yeah. I can I can I can see why there was a meltdown because of I mean and I mean, I'm not I'm not arguing with the Internet? I'm not saying he's wrong, but I can see why there was a meltdown.
[01:11:34] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, yeah. Just tell him, 1, you would have more you would have a happier you'd be happier, more fulfilled, and a better life if you stayed at home and raised kids. Right. Oh my gosh. Except for the fact that, yeah, he's right. But, oh, and if you get a chance you. Oh, hell yeah. How dare you. But, Paul Joseph Watson does a really good, has a really good, video about that. And it just and all the all the all the shit lives around, and it just he puts up this wall of every every, famous lip meltdown that they've ever had from the one that's standing out the street just you know, the overweight fat chick to go he's just screaming at the at the, at the air when, I think it's when, when Bush won his 2nd term.
[01:12:35] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. I think yeah. I remember seeing that one, I think.
[01:12:39] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. But anyhow, just I mean, all the famous, lip tard meltdowns, just all of just and just going crazy, and it was the way he stitched it all together was just is great. I love I I I enjoy the heck out of Paul Joseph Watson. He I don't agree a 100% as with everything he says. Like, he just put up one here recently that's about, recently that's about, the whole Candace Owens, Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro drama stuff. And I don't know exactly if all of it's, true or what, but, but, yeah, there's just a little bit of a little bit of drama, in that's in there and it's, you know, is was Candace Owens actually being anti Semitic with some of the words some of the comments she was making on her show before she got fired from from Daily Wire because she wouldn't, she was talking about Tao.
She's on this she's not on the side of, of Palestine, but at the same time, she was also saying, you know, you don't need to be helping, helping a a country exercise, potential genocide. And that's why I don't agree with all Joseph Watson. I don't think, I don't think she would it's I don't agree that, Israel is doing is performing genocide. No. 1, Palestine it's a a not even, Palestinians. The Hamas is hiding themselves amongst the group. So to be able to take out the Hamas, leaders stuff. Sadly, they have to end up they have to go through a bunch of the bunch of the civilians. And the civilians are just kinda standing there with their thumbs with their butt going, why?
[01:14:24] Rich Chelson:
See see this is the thing. All these kids aren't freaking paying attention to this. It's like it's like they're cheering on Hamas and all like this, and fucking Hamas are cowards because they will not come out and fight Israel 1 on 1 because they know they would get slaughtered. Oh, they get get their asses kicked. I mean Up one side down the other, resurrected just to be kicked again. And it wouldn't take all week. No. I mean I mean, Israel Israel is is oh my god. Israel is one of the fairest fighting armies there is. Oh, wow. Very much so. They would not, you know, take all week, but you see, and that's the thing. Freaking Hamas are cowards.
[01:15:03] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep.
[01:15:04] Rich Chelson:
So, I mean, that's just that's just my 2¢ on that. Absolutely.
[01:15:09] Bryan Goodwin:
So anyhow, got a little off of track, but, Rich, what is this about, about wildfire smoke?
[01:15:18] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I I was I was reading an article the other day and, apparently, the state of California
[01:15:27] Bryan Goodwin:
yeah. We are back in California. All their on all their great and grand knowledge that knows that everything in the world that actually causes cancer. Okay. Now now okay. Now Florida spot 49.
[01:15:38] Rich Chelson:
Think about this. Of all this of all the cars and everything that's been running in California and over the years, they've talked about all the smog. And I don't know if you've ever seen the smog in California. I have. And I wanna tell you what, it it it's it's bad. It can be. It's nowhere near as bad as it used to be. Right. Right. But still now they're not talking about that. They're saying all this wire wildfire smoke because of these wildfires that they've had in recent years, they say has covered up to up to 70% affecting the land and water.
Yeah. Yeah. I believe that. Okay. But but okay. Why is it just a wildfire smoke? Because they still have an asphalt of traffic. They still have smog. They don't have, I mean, I mean, their air is still dirty.
[01:16:32] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, their air is their air is dirtier, and that's just because of 1, where the mountains are located as opposed next to as as close as it is to the sea. So they don't have the wind currents as like what, what like the the great plains does.
[01:16:49] Rich Chelson:
Okay. Okay. Yeah. But
[01:16:52] Bryan Goodwin:
but at the same time, the, I I guess I'm I'm misunderstanding because, the Well the Well the the wildfires have have burned up 70 to 80% of the land.
[01:17:06] Rich Chelson:
Okay. But wait. Wait. Wait. Wildfires have been going on since since freaking before memorial. Yeah. We were ever a gleam in our daddy's eye. Oh, yeah. Okay? And because fire is a natural vacuum cleaner. It's a natural cleaning system of nature. It is. But but you see, why why now all of a sudden are they saying that that all these wild wildfires
[01:17:34] Bryan Goodwin:
are are freaking messing with the water in the soil. It's been going on since since for 1000 of years. Oh, that's because oh, okay. Okay. So the water okay. So the smoke and the fire is is messing with the soil and the water, and the quality of the water. Okay. That's what they're saying to say. Yeah. And the reason why is because they have failed to let fire do its job. Well, no. They could actually they could actually go through and help the fire out by cleaning out the underbrush of the forest that they have. But they refuse to do so because that's not natural.
Oh, yeah. We shouldn't be going through it and and so that it's not natural. That's one of the reasons why one, houses, you can't have you can't you're not actually supposed to cut the cut the woods away from your house more than, like, 50 feet. You're supposed to basically let the trees grow up right next to your house. Right. Because they, they're dumbass environmental laws. But Mhmm. If they had let and thanks to Smokey the Bear, which yeah. Do you know the actual history of Smokey the Bear? No. But Okay. Smokey the Bear that you can prevent can prevent forest fires. He became the spokesperson because there was actually, if you are during our during the Texas Panhandle's, latest fire, the the Smokehouse Creek fire. Right. There's a news little spokesperson that they're they've been, they a, rehab center has been working with, And it's a porcupine named Cinder.
Alright? And it's because the Cinder was caught in the fire and burned off a lot of its, lot of its nose. Actually, I think she ended up losing a couple of toes because of the fire and things like that. So she was really seriously hurt. But in these, I think the fifties, maybe late as the sixties, somewhere in that area, forties, fifties, sixties, there was a forest fire that was going on. Now it had been back when we had helicopters, so I'm gonna say probably around 50 or 60. Okay. There was a forest fire and they got video of this one lone bear that was walking through this burned out forest.
Mhmm. And he was kinda rough looking. He had burned his paws and everything, which is obviously gonna happen when you're walking through a hot cinder, burnt forest. And that became Smokey the Bear. Okay. And he became the spokesperson as to we need to extinguish fires, wildfires as quick as possible. If we can get them out within 24 hours, that's awesome. If they go if wildfires, go out on their own before that, awesome. Great. We don't have to worry about it. But if they go if if we have to go if if they burn for too long or they get too wild out of control, we humans have to go in and put them out. So we got the smoke jumpers, the firefighters that go into the in the forest. The only place this actually doesn't work that they don't do this though is in Yellowstone. They actually keep an eye on it. They will see the smoke of where a, where a fire is, and they just let the fire burn. And that's one of the reasons why, the Yellowstone National Park is in such glorious condition.
[01:21:00] Rich Chelson:
Right. Right. But but now now you see, when I lived out in Montana, this was, I think, 8 years ago. Yeah. Uh-huh. So it's 2016, 27 yeah. 2017. 1 of them years. Anyway, there was there was a wildfire.
[01:21:16] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. And,
[01:21:17] Rich Chelson:
I was working in Seeley Lake, Montana at a sawmill. Okay? And the town of Seeley Lake, yeah, you blink, you'd miss it. Right. The town was on the east side of the road. The sawmill was on the west side of the road. Okay. And come to find out, there's a wildfire, and I forget the name of it, but it started just up on the mountain on the eastern edge of town out in the middle of the woods. And Yeah. The, it started in August. Or was it August? July or August. And it was started by a lightning strike. Right. And and the forest service knew about it. Mhmm. Okay. And they was letting it burn. Okay. Fine. Well, it got out of hand, and it it started going up the, mountain ridge.
And it it was coming down the mountain ridge, and it came within, I'd say, a quarter mile of of the town of Seeley Lake. I mean, I would I was working overnights, and I could walk out. Oh, hell. I could walk out in the road and look up on the mountain and watch And see it. Trees just cone up. Right. You know? And see the fire all over the mountain tops and everything. It was crazy. And they freaking evacuated the town. I mean, brought the national guard in and everything. Right. And now now they did they did let it burn until it got way out of hand and it, you know, started to threaten people and stuff. And, then they brought in the the fire crews, the smoke Yeah. Smoke jumpers, all that. You know, and all like that. You know? And it and planes, them, them a big belly planes Yep. That because Seeley Lake is named for a big ass lake. And these plains, they brought, like, 3 out of Canada.
And these these things can scoop up, like, 35 100 gallons of water in a pass in, like, one second. And and they would come down right on top of the water and just go, oh, and then take off. Then they had then they had helicopters with bags. But and and you see people were bitching because animals were dying and all like this. But again, again, like I said earlier, this has been going on for 1000 of years. Yeah. Long before we got here. So so, I mean, I get it. It could be a problem, especially if it, you know, endangers people and stuff like that. But this is the circle of life. Yeah. That's that's the way it is. I mean, and you look at pine trees, the way like you were saying, how they just kinda
[01:24:01] Bryan Goodwin:
up and stuff. That's beautiful. But the bunk actually. Yeah. It was interesting how they would just they would flare up. But there's several little interesting aspects of that, of of a pine tree that is built for a forest fire. Mhmm. 1, the bark. The bark is all rough and knotted and you see layers of it and stuff. That's because of when the fire burns, it's actually just taken off the outside layer of of bark. It's not getting to the center. It also, as it hits the If it hits the branches, the branches go up. The cones, you know, you see the the pine cones are all these a lot of times, they we like we like the puffed out ones. But there are those that come down and they look like just green eggs. Blonde green eggs. Those actually have to be heated to pop open.
Oh. And when they pop open, they're actually flicking the seeds around. So they have to get hot to melt the resin that is holding them shut so that they fling the seeds out. So they're pine trees are made for forest fires. Now, one of the reasons why that probably got out of hand is because they again, they're for a while. I bet you they they hadn't had a, like, good buyer go through that at area in
[01:25:17] Rich Chelson:
10, 20 years. It is you see, I'm not sure. It's very possible. I mean, I didn't get mad. I mean, I was just worried every day because I drove 40 miles one way to work. Right. And and the sawmill stayed open during this whole fire. I was driving through smoke. In fact, at work Yeah. I was I was breathing smoke for months. Yeah. You know? And it's just like, alright. Well, I gotta go to work. It's our lot in life. It's not a lot, but it's our life. Right. Right. And I mean and and they didn't stop drying wood or anything like that. Right. Sawmill kept going. So
[01:25:54] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. But see, the the but that's the problem over in California. They because of they want to try to appease all the greenie weenies, they have done piss, pour, land, manage. Now I agree. Oh, it's all natural. We just wanted to let it run away. No. You're supposed to let the fire come through. And what's happening now is they've had so much trash and undergrowth build up build up more and more and more, is that it's not just a nice low temperature cooling fire that comes through and cleans house. It's now a scorched earth. Let's we're going to sanitize the earth type of hellfire flame that's going through there.
And it yeah. It's going to it it it drains the the the the soil of a lot of the nutrients. It gets a lot of potash, which is a good thing. That's, there's a reason why potash is good for plants because they take the ash and it and and incorporate it into the life. That's why now you can go and to, to Canadian where just a month 2 months ago, it was it was a black scorched hellscape, and now it's beautiful green. You couldn't even you can hardly even tell there was a fire there. Right. Why? Because, yeah, it was a hot fire, but it wasn't too hot. It was running hard be it was hot because of the wind. It was wind fueled. It wasn't underbrush fueled. It was just the wind was blowing 50, 60 miles an hour, which was just just, you know, taking like a, like a, furnace jet, billows. And it's just gonna it's just gonna heat it up more than what it needed to be. But yeah. Yeah. The reason why it's screwing with the, with the the soil and the and the ponds is because they won't do what's right.
Wonderful. Their conservation is let's let's try to manhandle it as much as possible instead of letting nature be nature. Well, that's that's the state of California.
[01:27:57] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. State of California wants to control every aspect
[01:28:02] Bryan Goodwin:
that's in, around, or on the state. Yep. They've got peep people who have never been out in nature who think they know more about nature than than anybody else.
[01:28:12] Rich Chelson:
Oh, yeah.
[01:28:13] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. And that's The group. And it's kinda like the the the idiots who think that, you know, farming is horrible and evil. It's like, well, bitch, what do you think you're gonna fucking eat?
[01:28:27] Rich Chelson:
GMO foods, dude.
[01:28:29] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, no. Oh, don't tell them GMO foods. Oh my god. That's, you know, that's That's that's like That's that's Satan's cornbread right there. Well, that's like that's like Satan's There's a there's a show title. Satan's Cornbread.
[01:28:42] Rich Chelson:
That looks good. I like that one. That's cool. But, but, you know you know, a lot of people are worried about cow farts and methane gas. Oh my god. I mean, there is so much more methane than cows could ever produce.
[01:29:00] Bryan Goodwin:
Exactly. And and it And the funny thing is is cows actually don't bark out hardly any methane. They burp a lot because they ruminate.
[01:29:09] Rich Chelson:
Okay.
[01:29:11] Bryan Goodwin:
But but when it comes to actually barks, no. They I mean, obviously, most animals, not all, I've heard, I've heard, seagulls can't and I've heard, what is it, mice can't, which I've never I've never seen anybody with a microphone or following a mouse around to see if they can hear a mouse poop, but, you know and they've they've spent before. They've spent the money on through a maze
[01:29:36] Rich Chelson:
you know, with the microphone just seeing if the microphone is part.
[01:29:42] Bryan Goodwin:
But, I mean, come on. Well, I mean, if they've they've if they've studied the breeding habits of some obscure frog down the Amazon, you know, they spent 1,000,000 of dollars to do that. I'm sure someone has spent 1,000,000,000 of dollars to go, I wonder if mice fart. And you know what? There's probably a grant out there that the government would give you to And the government I'm sure the government has given it multiple times. Like, oh, you wanna check to see? Oh, you wanna know if kangaroo rats fart. Okay. That's different. That's different. Alright. See if you can go chase them down.
[01:30:12] Rich Chelson:
I know. And and but yet, they won't pay back social security.
[01:30:18] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, they won't pay back social security, and they're forgiving all the so much debt. They've given up what? Oh my god. Yeah. What? Another 7,000,000,000? So, yeah, something like 7,000,000,000 or up to up to to, I think, was it high 2 digit, billions?
[01:30:34] Rich Chelson:
I think so.
[01:30:36] Bryan Goodwin:
I think so. 92,000,000,000 or something like that. Some stupid ass might it's like, yeah. Yeah. Those dumbass kids who went off and got $250,000
[01:30:45] Rich Chelson:
worth of debt, yeah, they're gonna learn a lot, aren't they? Well well, guess what though? They're they're what? They're what? In their twenties? So in the 40, 40, 45 years, they're gonna realize that that student loan that was forgiven. Well, guess what? That was her social security check. Yep.
[01:31:08] Bryan Goodwin:
I mean, don't think about it. Damn it. I gotta work even longer now.
[01:31:13] Rich Chelson:
Oh my god.
[01:31:15] Bryan Goodwin:
You gotta pay it back one way or another. Sorry. But money's money's money's money's money, man.
[01:31:20] Rich Chelson:
And the government gets there.
[01:31:22] Bryan Goodwin:
The, the government likes to likes to produce money, but they still don't increase the value.
[01:31:27] Rich Chelson:
No. They print it, dude. They don't produce shit. They print it. Exactly.
[01:31:34] Bryan Goodwin:
That's why they have to have taxes because that's the only value that they actually bring in. Right? No. They But I still think theft,
[01:31:43] Rich Chelson:
taxation is theft. What's that, dude?
[01:31:46] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. Because they with our taxes, they sure the hell can't fucking manage it. No. Gee, wonder how many 1,000,000,000,000 of dollars in debt we are? Because, you know, if I was to balance my checkbook and did that kind of shit, I'd be in fucking jail. Oh, hell yeah. But it but it's okay for the government to do it because it's the government. Some of those people should be in freaking prison. Oh, yes. The way they man the way they manage the company or the the country's money, some of these people should be in jail.
[01:32:25] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, Crooked Hillary. Yes.
[01:32:29] Rich Chelson:
So more than just That's
[01:32:31] Duuude-Ron :
just that's just that's just one. You know? You've got 1,000.
[01:32:36] Bryan Goodwin:
Yep. You've got several you've got several 100 100 members of congress that, and then all the, all the bureaus and the alphabet, departments that, that mismanage their funds and then stand around and go, oh, where are we at?
[01:32:53] Rich Chelson:
Hey, hey, check this out. The national debt right now is at 34,000,000,000,000.
[01:32:59] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Ain't that crazy? Yeah. Yeah. We were just at we were just at, what, 3,000,000,000,000, back in, back in 2,000?
[01:33:08] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. Something like that. Yeah. And we're at 34 with Yeah. In 24 years. And granted, I I and I admit, Trump didn't help matters, Annie,
[01:33:18] Bryan Goodwin:
in that in that department. Oh. Well, at the same time. Trump's been I mean 9. They've they've dumped they've dumped I think Trump added what, 9,000,000,000,000. 3 yeah. I was just gonna say 3, but 9 9,000,000,000,000 to the to the debt.
[01:33:33] Rich Chelson:
And then But Biden has has, like, almost doubled that, I think. Oh, damn near tripled that. Yeah. In in in 3 years. Yeah. So no. No. I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not standing up for Trump on that because Trump, you know, I mean, Trump did the same thing, but but, I mean, we've, you know, gone see, that's the thing. Everyone throws Trump's name out, and it's like, think back. I mean, it was Bush, Bush junior.
[01:34:04] Bryan Goodwin:
It was it was Obama. It was it was, well, Clinton, actually. It was, I mean, it was Reagan. It was it was Reagan. Harder. I mean, we Or We had just got I mean, we we finally got Clinton of all folks, and that's because he finally figured out, oh, wait a minute. If I go off and I work on both sides of the aisle, we might be able to get something here. And so he was able to do he was able to get, you know, an actual balanced budget that lasted till he left office. And then, you know, it's like, oh, hey. Alright. Let's
[01:34:38] Rich Chelson:
go stupid with our spending again. Well, see, on on this national day, this, with the citizens in the US, this 34,000,000,000 works out to a $103,229 per person. And, and per taxpayer, it goes to 266952. Yeah. So, yeah, we need more people to get to work. I dropped at a 103,000. It won't matter anyway.
[01:35:06] Bryan Goodwin:
No. No. No. Well, if we can get if people will realize, 1, well, we're gonna have to get rid of colleges first before we start being able to get more people to, to work because colleges ain't are the thing that's actually killing us all. So because we're we're doing some of the same stuff as what has killed the boy scouts of America.
[01:35:29] Rich Chelson:
What's that? What is what is killed the boy scouts of America? Well,
[01:35:33] Bryan Goodwin:
the the degradation and the loss of values.
[01:35:36] Rich Chelson:
Right. I I can see that.
[01:35:39] Bryan Goodwin:
Because what was it about? 5, 6? I think it was about 5 years ago, act No. 6 or 7 years ago, I think. In that area, at least. Mhmm. The Boy Scouts of America started to capitulate to the feminists. Mhmm. And they started letting girls into the Boy Scouts of America.
[01:35:59] Rich Chelson:
Now now I I had I had read someone that article and they had said they had other programs that allowed girls in, but the actual Boy Scouts of America, no, they it was it was no Girls' Lounge. It was boy yeah. It was for Boy Scouts. Right. And this is why girls had girl scouts. Yeah.
[01:36:20] Bryan Goodwin:
I mean, there was there was a clear distinction and Yes. And it allows for girls to have a safe space to be girls to learn the same stuff that boy scouts could learn in a safe spot. But then you had the feminist going, oh, but that's not fair. Women should be allowed where boys are. And the boy scouts were like, okay. Yes. They had problems. They weren't paying attention to who the scout theaters were. There was a lot. I think they had ended up, ended up having to settle for, settle, or not settle, but they ended up getting sued for an insane amount of money. Oh, yeah. Or for, sexual impropriety Mhmm. That that that some of the scout leaders have had with the with the boys. And I get that. That's wrong. They needed to be smacked for that.
But letting girls into the boy scouts also caused them to lose their values. And the values, the and the core beliefs the boy scouts were there. One, got rid of the safe space for boys to have the friendships and the and the and the, learning environment as how boys learn. Mhmm. Which is get out there. Do it. Try it. Let's make a tomahawk out of a out of a stick and a and a and a big ass stone, and let's, you know and let's go around and see who see what type of critter we could clunk on the head with it, which probably can't, but still, it's fun to try. Dude, you know you know if we have if if if we have any
[01:37:57] Rich Chelson:
woke liberal Karens listening to this episode,
[01:38:01] Bryan Goodwin:
they are just gonna The name is Brian Goodwin, and the email is circle cast, [email protected]. Wanna have a little debate? Let me know. I'll after we talk a little bit, I might even be brave enough to give you my phone number. Yeah. It's gonna take some bravery because some of y'all are just absolutely batshit crazy. So but, no. They're they're but they did. And that's why went from having something like 200,000,000, support, members Mhmm. They're down to 2,000,000.
[01:38:37] Rich Chelson:
I think I read it was a1000000.
[01:38:39] Bryan Goodwin:
Or is it down to a1000000 now? I think I think Okay. I was thinking it was 2,000,000,000. But anyhow, it's down to a1000000. And I know that there's like a 150,000 of them that are actually girls that are in the in the program. Uh-huh. And that says I mean, if it's 1,000,000, that's even more, higher percentage that is of girls. Right. And then there these are the same chicks that run around. These are the same moms that run around saying, dads need to teach boys not to rape. Well, give them a chance to learn not to rape. You know, give guys a chance to be able to tell their sons not to rape, which 99% of all boys already know not to not to do that.
Right. Yeah. It's kinda inbred into a it's not even just bred into us. It's natural within us to watch and to take care and to to protect the female of the species, to protect those girls. Mhmm. Yet because you are letting the values slide because you have integrated girls into the mix, there's gonna be a lot more hanky panky going on than there was before. And so, yeah, here soon that you're gonna yeah. They renamed it to Scouts of America. Right. And pretty soon, that's gonna be nothing because they will have to shutter. They will close because no one it's gonna become such a field of degeneracy with them. It's not gonna be worth anything. I would love to have the money and the wherewithal to start up a new all boys scout wide program. And to take the take fill in the void that the lack of scouts has done.
[01:40:18] Rich Chelson:
Yeah. But the thing is, so you would get a lot of people come Good. To you for it.
[01:40:24] Bryan Goodwin:
Come at me bitches. I would love it. Well, that's not fair. Well, it's life ain't fair. No one ever said life was fair. Build a bridge. Get over. You know, you can you can throw a fit. You can whine and cry. If you want your daughter to be manhandled by a dude, then you're going go talk to your boyfriend because I'm sure he's probably finding ways to deal with your daughter there, Karen. Your your boy the your 3rd boyfriend that you've had that move in with you in the past 2 months, I'm sure has probably seen your teenage daughter and gone, yeah. I wonder if I could see her naked.
[01:40:59] Rich Chelson:
Sadly, that
[01:41:01] Bryan Goodwin:
that does happen. Yeah. It does. Yeah. It happens way too much because girls or the women of today are too busy worrying about themselves and seeing who, who they can rack up for their body count Right. To care about their kids. Yeah. And see that And I granted, there's a lot of women out there who are good. They are doing their damndest. They're trying their trying their damndest. But one of the things I've told my daughter is if you with now that she's had, had my grandkid, if she divorces or not divorces, but if she breaks up with her with her boyfriend, do not bring another man into that house.
Mhmm. Do not. You have satitudes choose. You're gonna be celibate without a man until that child turns 18 and and and leaves the house. Then you can start dating. Because if not, you're going to run the risk of her getting molested. You increase the chances every single time. Yeah. No. And that's just statistically speaking. You're going especially with the way the folks have done gone since the thanks to the Internet as as sparked enough people to be pervs that they are. Right. Then you get all the unknown yeah. I'm gonna talk about bringing illegals. And, yes, they are illegal aliens. They're not newcomers. Bringing in the illegal aliens into, in here without actually documenting or finding out who they are, you're just increasing the chances of our of the women actually being sexually assaulted, killed, or something worse. Right.
[01:42:36] Rich Chelson:
So, dude, are you still with us?
[01:42:39] Duuude-Ron :
I'm still with you. Okay.
[01:42:41] Rich Chelson:
Okay. I was just making sure. I mean I mean I mean, we know we know we know Brian's been been, you know I'm hogging the mic again. This night this night has been Brian's soapbox night. That's for Oh, heck heck yeah. Well, every night seems to be at my soapbox. I'm jumping on it for everything.
[01:42:59] Bryan Goodwin:
So Well, pretty much.
[01:43:01] Duuude-Ron :
Pretty much. I'm just I'm just here. Remember, I'm just here in the background soaking up the the, conversation and just, you know, lurking on the lurking in the shadows. Just lurking in the shadows of your mind.
[01:43:22] Bryan Goodwin:
I'm gonna start finding cheap cheap topics to throw in here just to say if I bait you 2 off of something so y'all 2 go after it for a little while so I can just sit back here and just pick my nose or something. You know what, Brian?
[01:43:36] Duuude-Ron :
That is not gonna happen.
[01:43:38] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, it will. It will. I do. I don't Oh, please. Please. Y'all you before we started this up, all I had to do was, so what's happening with y'all's jeeps? And I wouldn't have to say shit for I know. But but it the next hour and a half.
[01:43:55] Duuude-Ron :
You're right. But in this platform but in this platform, you are you
[01:44:03] Bryan Goodwin:
are the main source. I'm I'm gonna find the proper pull string to get on you, and I'm gonna go
[01:44:11] Rich Chelson:
and just watch you just yammer away. Well, well well, check this out. And and, dude, you you should know this. It has been, what, almost a year since I've gotten on a soapbox or 6 months at least. Oh. 6 months at least. I mean, it's been a long freaking while since I really jumped on a soapbox and went off. I mean, I am like I am like way overdue, but for some reason, I it just, you know, I it it just a lot of things. Yeah. They upset me, but and I don't know.
[01:44:49] Bryan Goodwin:
I I'm just You've hit the zen of Mississippi. It's the water, man. It's the water. It's the water. Yeah. All the negative ions that come from the ocean, man. They they just chill you out, bro. Yeah. I mean, it's yeah.
[01:45:06] Rich Chelson:
Exactly, dude. Well, and
[01:45:09] Bryan Goodwin:
and the only thing is, I'm sitting there trying to figure out how to actually do the do the the California, surfer sound with a southern draw. I I haven't been able to mash those 2 together yet. I can't get it I can't hear it in my head. So
[01:45:24] Rich Chelson:
Dude dude, what were you gonna say? Yeah. What were you saying?
[01:45:28] Duuude-Ron :
With, Rich's mindset of not having to be in the winter cold of Missouri and just knowing that fact has brought a demeanor change to Rich.
[01:45:45] Bryan Goodwin:
Oh, hell yeah. It has.
[01:45:47] Duuude-Ron :
Just him relocating down to where he's at so that he could get out of the cold in the winter time. I was freezing, man. That was that's a, you know, major factor.
[01:46:01] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Well, that's a there's a there's a big reason why all the southerners knew those folks in the north were assholes because they're all fucking cold all the time. They're grumpy. It's like, bitch, man. Get down here. What what we're mad old cold ass heart of yours up a little bit. You might actually have a good time for for once.
[01:46:22] Rich Chelson:
Well, you know, up north, you say what what those guys haven't figured out up north is I just got tired of sticking my thumb up my ass and yelling squirrel trying to grab my packer so I could pee. You know? So, I mean, come on now. I I finally it it took me quite a few years, but I finally figured it out. I ain't gotta do that down here. No. They have like 2 days a winter.
[01:46:47] Bryan Goodwin:
Yeah. Hey. 2 days. That's like, oh, we're getting cold. Oh, it's down to 45. Everyone bundled up. Got park is on. Yours there's Rich and tank top and shorts gone.
[01:47:01] Rich Chelson:

[01:47:08] Duuude-Ron :
So Yeah. Well, and we'll see as soon as the 100 degree plus a 100% humidity gets hit. And, he may be walking around like a like a drowned frog.
[01:47:25] Bryan Goodwin:
Well, that is possible. I'm not gonna argue that. Yeah. Oh god. Yesterday, I did that. I hopped out of truck and I bounced off the air. It's terrible.
[01:47:35] Duuude-Ron :
Yeah. No shit.
[01:47:37] Bryan Goodwin:

And just the way you talk to them when they cut you off and give you less than 2 seconds in between their vehicles, you know, you get to have a conversation with them.
