Speaker 1 (00:00):
My gosh every day because we get these you know,
these updates basically I won't call him entertainment news kind
of fluffy you know, lifestyle stuff and so forth. But
every day it's just full of people way too young
to be dying that are dying. And these are just
the notable people, the you know, the pseudo celebrities, influencers, singers, actors,
(00:25):
rappers I've never heard of before, but they have some
sort of popularity, some sort of notoriety that gets them aheadline.
All these people done, you have to imagine how many
people we've never heard of or dying at the same age.
I mean, Ethan Brown was something like that. A twenty
five year old influencer dead. Bike bike enthusiast, influencer dead.
(00:48):
It's just crazy how many people are dying so young.
Are the national rates of you know, how old people
go in America men and women, has got to be
just going in the dumper. We went up for years,
but I have a feeling that's going to come way
down just because of all these youthful deaths we see.
Has nothing to do with with COVID, by the way, nothing,
(01:10):
absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing to do with COVID. By the
way A two number eight two n WUTV. And let's
get through some calls. Kirby on on gasoline prices. Kirby,
how are you well?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
The first thing, gasolene is not a byproduct of the diesel.
When you when you start distilling crude oil, all the
different components come off, and like with gasolene, you blend.
Then you blend four or five of these components together.
And the reason winter blend is cheaper than summer blend
is because they can put more utane in it. And
(01:45):
that's why on a good warm winter day you don't
get good gas mileage because the view tane that rates
off quicker. Now with diesel, the reason diesel has got
so much expensive when I went worked through finery back
in twenty twelve, the level for sulfur, who's twenty to
twenty five percent, the EPA dropped that down to less
(02:06):
than ten percent, I believe now, So it takes a
lot more in the refinery to get all that sulfur out.
And the sulfur who was in the diesel and made
it burn better like the lead used to make.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Gasoline burth better.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
You know what's funny about that is they want the
diesel scrub did its origin. However, how many time you've
been behind something and not necessarily even a semi but
somebody who's got a you know, you got themselves a
three point fifty pickup or something like that with the
big dual exhaust pipes coming back of the camp and
they're going at big, giant black clouds billowing out. So
we got to scrub it at the refinery. But I
(02:41):
don't is there is there a scrubbery requirement on the
cars that are burning it, because they're still blowing a
lot of.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
A lot of times. When you see that black smoke
coming out of the big truck, it's because he's burning
agricultural diesel, which isn't actually being a shouldn't be allowed
on the road.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I see it out of everything. I mean, code of
buses before you know they started switching them over to
electric and pro paine. But I used to laugh about how,
you know, public transportation was supposed to cut down on
air pollution, and now I look at all the smoke
coming off of the back of that code.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Well, yeah, some of those engines are really poor at
burning diesels.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, I would I would never have one unless I
was driving a semi and I needed to haul like
two hundred tons behind me. I would never own a diesel,
just as my you know, family transportation. I plus having
to plug them up in the winter. I always thought
that was crazy to keep the keep the fuel from
you know, gunking up on it.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
That's because diesel comes off just before your fuel oils
and all your heavier oils that you can burn. And
they also blend jet fuel in the diesel. If they
need more diesel, it's price of diesel goes a certain way.
They can blend jet fuel into it too, because all
jet fuel is is the kerosene.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Oh man, and you let the oil business? How long
did you do that?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I retired in twenty twenty twenty two, three years ago.
I was one of the chemists in the in the lab.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
So have you been have you been watching that Landman
show I was talking.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
About, Uh yeah, in one episode I disagreed with but hey,
it's it's Hollywood, so they have to do it.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Well that wait a minute, it came on. Tell me
what tell me? Because you've got practical experience, where'd you
find an error?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Found an error that nobody would be using a metal
presst wrench on a pipe. Yeah, and in the refinery
everything has to be brass because you don't want any sparks.
So that would never havecurred even almos Field, because they'd
have to have brass wrenches and no steel wrenches.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
See I'm no genius, but I actually thought, Okay, if
this is a common occurrence, why the heck don't they
have something that is insulated that they do use for
these instances that? Because that didn't make any.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Right it should be brass. And the other reason they
putting up windmills is because they used to run something
like a not jet fuel, but like kerosene and stuff
to run the pumps to keep the pumps running. So
now they're using like Christy instead of a pro pain
or a oil base.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yeah. Did you find did you find his little speech
about the cost to put one of those things up
not being able to carbon offset? Did that seem realistic
to you? Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yes, yeah, yeah. I have a friend that used to
haul windmills, and he used to drive. He used to
get like kein. His buddies would take three of those
fins and haula but they'd get like eighteen thousand dollars
alone for one fin.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Wow. Wow, Oh Man, Kirby, call anytime, Man. I love
your expertise, especially since I'll probably be talking about Landman
a lot. I just I'm I'm obsessed with that show.
Mark told me I should watch and he was absolutely right.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Ed.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
You are on six WTV, and Hi, hey Chuck, thanks
for taking my call.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
I got two things real quick. One, I'd like to
give a shout out to my niece. She's a nurse
and a gentleman. Got in a wreck this afternoon around
Doublin Mary's Girl Road and she administered CPR on him
and saved these alife.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Bless her heart.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Excellent, Yes, sir, Yeah, I'd just like to say that.
And another thing, Brutus he needs the buck a sticker
put on his head for crossing out that And.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
That is an excellent idea.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Ed.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
We ought to petition to school to put a big
buckeye sticker on the back of Brutus's nut there.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Yes, yes, yes, sir, that was so funny. That was
the best part of that game was when he did that.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah. And to be able to use your feet to
do script Ohio, that was impressive.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Yes, and it took you, yeah, and it took came
a couple of minutes to do that, you know, And yes,
that that was so funny. That was better than planning
a flag in the middle of their field.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
And I'm glad the Buckeye showed the class of not
getting revenge and trying to plan a flag there at
the end that that spoke up. Yes, that spoke highly
of the way that that team is being run. We're
not even going to bother to do that. Ryan Day
went over to their coach and said, you can tell
your guys to go away. We're not doing something like that, right.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Yes he did. Yeah, I seen he was talking to him. Yeah,
that was that was good about coach Day.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yep, all right, but you stay warm. I appreciate the
call out there eight two one nine eight six. My
number A two one WUTV and I can get through
a couple of more here before we end the show. Jason,
you are on six to ten WUTV and.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Hi, Hey, Chuck, go bucks beat. How are you?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yes, yeah, hey, real quick follow up on the I
think two callers ago, the guy that said he was
a chemist for the fuel industry, Well, I'm a little
questioning of what how he was a chemist because he
was talking about when you when you reference seeing the
pickup trucks with the black diesel pouring out, and he
said they're burning agricultural diesel. That's not true today. Nowadays,
(08:09):
there's no difference whatsoever between it's all considered ulsd ultralow
sul for diesel. I worked for the fuel industry as well,
don't currently. But the only difference between the diesel that
you would buy at say sheets or speedway and what
you can get delivered to your farm. It's considered off
(08:29):
road diesel now. But it's the same ultralow sulfur diesel,
but they put a dye in it. The red dye
doesn't make anything smoke or anything like that. It's for
tax purposes. It's so when our friendly state troopers pull
you over on the road and you've got one of
these pickup trucks, they can dip your tank and if
they see red dye a very minute amount, then you're
(08:51):
in big trouble. But it's the same diesel whether you're
burn it in an attractor today or a pickup truck today. Now,
it was different fifteen twenty years ago. I'll give the
gentleman that, but it's all the same diesel.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Now, Jason, let me let me ask you this real quick,
since you've been in the industry as well, why are
we still screwing around with ethanol? What at this point
have we not figured out we either need you know,
we're burning corn.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Man, Well, that's a that's a rabbit, Hawaii. I don't
want to go down because I do have a farming
background too, and you don't want to. You know, you
can ruffle some farmers feathers because you know they it's
a good market for them to sell their grain.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, I know that we sell a lot of grain.
We sell a lot of a lot of corn and
to produce it. But on the other hand, how many
acres do we have that farmers are paid to not
farm every year? You know, when the government gets involved,
if they found a way to fix it one and
they'll find a new way to fix it. I just
I think we'll get more damage to our vehicles and
than we're that it's really worth.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
No doubt. Ethanol is not good on small engines and
things like that, no doubt. But back to the diesel
thing real quick. You asked about it. Are there scrubbers
and things that you know, like we can put on
these pickups that you're seeing the black smoke, which they're
intentionally doing that that's they're they're they're they're tuning their
these diesels you can get massive horsepower out of and
that's what you're seeing is just your raw, unburned diesel.
(10:14):
But they're may the government, speaking of our lover lovely government.
But what they've done to to to these diesels making
us do tractors and trucks and everything is there there.
There's things called LA filters. They're making us run another
fluid that's very corrosive and damaging to the environment called
DEAF or diesel exhaust fluid. It's it's all a bunch
(10:35):
of government data garbage that makes these trucks less efficient,
they can pull less. So yeah, it's you're right there.
It's it's all government bs.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Now when they get involved, it always turns out to
be bs. Jason, I appreciate the call. Let's get data
in here real quick before we have to say goodbye. Data.
You're on sixth Nable.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Et V N Lioness and land Man. The guy the
guy who plays is that they heavy said geologists and
land Man and he lives with Billy, Bob Thornton and
their family.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
You know, I'm talking about you talked about the attorney.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
No, the geologist.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I don't know. I've seen the white haired attorney, and
I've seen the fat guy. Looks like he's working one
of the rigs, but I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
If I see that.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Okay, Well, he also plays on lion as a CIA
assassin and he works with this group and they go
around and they take people out. I was told there
it's going to be one more season because they head
actress had only contractor for three years and this will
be their third year. Right now, we're developing the script
and well will be put out pobbing next year. Sometimes.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Well, since it's called Lioness, I'm assuming she's an essential
part of the show.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Yes she is.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
She's the head of this group who does the.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
All right. I was just thinking the other day, you know,
as much as I hate remakes and derivative stuff, I'm
kind of wishing at this point, because we got all
the various n CIS is like Law and Order, I'm
kind of wishing we'd have an n CIS movie because
I want to Gibbs needs to go the right way,
you know, what I mean.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Yeah, well you can get the two scenes in the library. Yeah,
with the library. I look, that's where I got them at.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Oh okay, well that's good news too. I appreciate you, Dana,
Thanks very much already. What's that Dana's never been to
a library? Be nice to Dana man Oh. As usual,
this hour goes way too quickly, but it is good
to be back. I'm still digesting the turkey. Hopefully we'll
(12:42):
be through that in the next couple of days, because
you know, the Christmas ham is right around the corner.
