places where we were hiking that I did not have

Speaker 3 (11:07):
Did you really learn your lesson? I did? I did.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Indeed, I did some really cool stuff while I was
out there. Have y'all ever have y'all ever been out
on sand dunes? I got like those sand rails, like
and I'm talking not not these not like a pile
of sand across the street. It says, four hundred feet
tall sand dune.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Where do you get all that sand from?

Speaker 2 (11:27):
It blows in from the ocean, from the Hobby desert.
It's been there for hundreds.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Of How see actual desert sound?

Speaker 2 (11:38):
So salt does there's some Well, some of it comes
from the ocean, some of it comes from from the desert.
But no, I didn't. I don't go around licking random sand.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
And they let you drive. They did not.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
They saw me coming and said we got this, and
I said, okay, all right, I'll sit back ride. I
wanted to pull up picture. But anyway, this is really cool.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
It had had seven seats in it.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
It's probably got about three hundred horse power in the back,
and they got paddle tires on the back of it.
And the guy that was driving us did not understand
what first gear was because it never it never did
go back into first gear once we got out on
the sand. Dudes, and going uphill at like two hundred
you know, two hundred about two hundred feet and kicking

(12:25):
the steering wheel over and just flying down the other side,
or the fact that we were driving and all of
a sudden there were no sins below us and we
just dropped.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Oh it was of like sort of like a Carnie ride.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, yeah, it was, yeah, pretty much pretty much. But
it's a lot of fun.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
I was saying. He knew two speeds, white and faster.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Fast and faster. The only time he slowed down was
when we first came out there. He's there, he said.
There there were these little like what looked like little
ponds of water. He said, the last week, a guy
in a jeep thought he was gonna splash through that
little pond of water, and that pond of water ended
up being twenty two feet deep. Yes, so they now

(13:08):
they drive around the ponds of water. Yeah, it's a
jac it's a jeep thing.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yeah exactly. Yeah, I buried that jeep.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
They ended up having to winch it out or pull
it out. They have some sort of record that comes
out there and pulls people out and he had to.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Yeah, that's.

Speaker 3 (13:31):

Speaker 2 (13:38):
If you ever in Florence, Oregon and you want to
go go to sand Land Adventures and go for a
ride in one of their real cars. It is a
lot of fun. And it was like seventy five bucks.
I think seventy eighty bucks. I think for an hour. No,
there's no way I would have done the thirty minute
one because when we were we hit the thirty minute

(13:59):
mark and all the other we're going back. I was like,

was being funny. It's it's it's supposed it's supposed to
be digging out the background.

I just stop, it's not anti cricket noise.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Well it's no, it's it's it's cricket mating season right now.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
Yes, so is, Oh where were you this weekend? What parks?

Speaker 3 (15:58):
I was? We did you in Rhode Island? And I
did uh one in Connecticut on Sunday, So that was
three and I did one on Monday, and my lazy
butt just I was going to do something today, but
I said nah, okay. So band conditions. Band conditions were

(16:24):
very interesting all of a sudden, the bands would just
fall out stop. It was ridiculous, Like, could somebody put
some more quarters in please? And turn this gone band spray? Yeah,
it was very weird. And I was using everything. I
was using the A tasks, I was using uh, my reliance,

(16:45):
I was using my spool. But were you using a
stip ladder? No, Mike was, I heard Mr d was was?

Speaker 2 (16:54):
You know, some of us support Mike and got to
see that video, but the rest of you guys should
get to see that probably Thursday. I think I don't
know Michael tell us when prequel video. I'm still looking
for this picture. Sorry, I did not upload it to
where I thought I did. I will put it in

(17:16):
our chat.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
So I'm gonna so I'll tell you a story story thing.
I had my best gal with me mm hm and
we're podling and all of a sudden, Joe Bretty answers
me we're on the tailgate. She dropped everything mm hmm

(17:40):
everything everything, not everything, but.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
Not all of it sounds of Mississippi.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
And I just looked at her and as I was saying,
do you want to say hi to she just grabbed
my arm and she just put that my phone right
up to her and she wanted to say hello. Damn.
Then then there was Carlos. Carlos called me. She dropped

(18:15):
everything I was gonna say. Does she want to go
sky down with Carlos? Oh my god, I'm like that.
I'm like, oh what about me?

Speaker 1 (18:27):
How Hi?

Speaker 3 (18:29):
I'm over here, and she's you know, she's talking to
Carlos about coffee. We don't discuss coffee, uh on a
PoTA park. Yeah. Well, well it became her activation all
of a sudden. Yep. And Rhode Island is a very

(18:50):
interesting place because of all the first off, the beaches
are just incredible. I mean, you are the what interesting?
It is interesting because it's the Atlantic Ocean, you know,
the it's it's a whole different color of water, and
the smell and the and the seafood. It's just amazing.

(19:11):
And of course you gotta deal with the crowds and
like I'm trying to like figure out what, you know,
how am I going to deploy an antenna so someone
doesn't trip on it? And of course I had to
get I finally got this one great spot and I'm
like I'm using my A B R Yellow feed line
coax figuring no one. Yeah, I think it does.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
But then.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
Here's the problem. And I always talk about this. I
feel when you're in the park, you want to say,
you know, people are going to say hello to you,
so depending on where you are, all right, right, well
well no this is not like the zoo with this

(19:58):
is like the monkey strong pool and yeah, yeah, but
it was the whole thing. I want to be a
good ambassador, but I also wanted because this is when
the bands are up, talk to me. When the bands
are dying down, that's you know there. But it was
fun to just to educate some people about, you know,
what the hobby is. And uh, you know, it was

(20:20):
it was fun. That's where FT eight from the park
becomes your friend. What just just hide in the corner?

Speaker 4 (20:26):
No, you can sit there, run FT eight and still
talk to them about what you're doing.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
And clickie click click click click. And I found this.
I had this first spot right next to the porta
potties and I'm like, yeah, that's cheating on the air.
And I was going to get a picture of that too.

Speaker 4 (20:46):
Well I'm sure you had your dude wipes with you,
of course, because there's probably no no TP in the
I'm like, I'm like, unlike.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
Some people who don't even have a radio with him
no matter where he goes away.

Speaker 2 (21:02):

Speaker 2 (21:09):
On our screen, on our screen you're you're right there.

Speaker 3 (21:13):

my god, look at this thing telling you guys, we
gotta put we gotta put some radios on that. It
has no we gotta go with the big whip antennas.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
So you was around some radios.

license for it again. Yeah, for see they got a
whip there.

Your pelasg on gm rs and saying come on chance
of a lifetime, that would have been great, right for
the mic. I have a license.

Speaker 2 (21:53):

a lot of fun. It only took me an hour
to find the pictures.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
A minute. You got in that thing, and you didn't
ask any questions about the radio. No, what I thought
radio because if you get streaked.

Speaker 2 (22:10):

a channel.

Wish it had like open headers and sounded really cool,
but they have like a whole mushler thing.

Well, yeah, because it's the West Coast, it's gotta be quiet.
I was taking, right, I was taking bricks and stress
horse power without the offer on it, and that thing loud.

Man, I think thirteen. Well it's not a sixteen No, no.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
Like like like a soft X.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
I mean ever now, and then I get a message
from YouTube that says that asked me to validate that
we don't have anything inappropriate on our uploads.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
So on those episodes you're not a part of.

Speaker 3 (44:14):
Just just remember just because you did it doesn't make
you guilty. Just remember I didn't watch him.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
I just said, nope, we we we as angels for that.

Speaker 3 (44:23):
But here's the thing though, that thing, that thing was
dangling all over the place, and that thing was dangling
is dangling the right word? Crouch Hello, that one was.

Speaker 4 (44:43):
I was just say, Joe, you need to put that
on your backpack and walk around the show with it.

Speaker 3 (44:49):
Tell them at your J.

Speaker 1 (44:50):
Pole that's a pole or it's the tape of a
J inverted J. Well, that's almost.

Speaker 3 (45:05):
Almost rights itself.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
My brain went back to inverted. What inverted? I did?

Speaker 3 (45:14):
I even and this is why we don't get a
G rating. See this is what? Oh god what.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
Anyway, it's my deepot.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
I don't I don't know if I do.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
I mean, I know I would do that at like
a local ham fest that I don't care if I
never get to go back to.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
I don't want to get banned.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
I'm not so sure. I mean, it wouldn't be horrible,
but I don't want to. Like he's sitting up at
the campground because I hate I'm not allowed at the
hem fest anymore.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
You're not gonna get the twenty five percent discount either.
Just just make sure you have one of the your
shirts on. It's well, go on it, right, I mean,
if you're gonna get banned, you might as well go
all out.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
YEP owner shirt, David, this is a Randy and I
drone company nice.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
And ham Man ct is right. Ratings are just overrated.
I fully agree with you. Ratings are in the eye
of the beholder.

Speaker 2 (46:27):
Yeah, that's very true, because when I find offensive, most
people probably wouldn't find defensive.

Speaker 3 (46:32):
Right and vice versa.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
So sure, Yeah, since goodness and HF version of the
detos All right, David to get on it so.

Speaker 3 (46:49):
That one's the same. So does that mean it's gonna
have to be bigger, longer, yes, and I'm cut. No,
it'll have to be a capacitant hat. Do you want
it linked or not linked?

Speaker 1 (47:05):
It should be a flower?

Speaker 3 (47:08):
A flower? I want a flower? Do you want it?
You got it? Page, Well, youve got to determine twenty
meters is going to be twenty meters is going to
be certain? Like if you want to go longer, Mike's
got it, just hold it back. That's what Calum always says.

Speaker 1 (47:34):
That is an option, right and it twist it.

Speaker 3 (47:40):
That's what I do.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
That's what That's what I got there, twisted.

Speaker 3 (47:44):
That's what I got in the backyard, is there?

Speaker 2 (47:49):
You need to light your torches, okay, to relight the
cigar a little ragged on the side.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
I don't see no cherry cherry or no smoke.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
You don't look nothing like your logo.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
I just had to look down and make sure I
had pants because I must stand off. Yes I do. Outside.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
I was to the show without him. I remember, I
had a walk outside to get your check.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
Have you oh he's hung up. That happens.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
Yeah, oh god, it's already started raining with the five
four super Shad. The hfdtoss has already said. I thought,
I said reproductions.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
You don't want to.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
Say, Joe Brad, do you want to have you shown
people your shirts that you come up with for this year?

Speaker 3 (48:48):
Well? I thought it did enough time if they ordered
one now.

Speaker 1 (48:52):
And then then I realized that evidently I hadn't done
a good enough job of getting word out that there
is a couple of eyes, two or three to choose from,
because I got an email from a fellow today that
was like he emailed me back four or five months
ago about shirts and he did not know, So I

(49:15):
guess we do need to talk about that. So I
went and posted on the Twitter and Facebook and all
the places. But if you'll go to if I, why
the why, myspread shot dot com something like that, there's
your choices except for the bottom right that last one
of the last year's.

Speaker 2 (49:34):
I swear to god, I'd look like a turd next
to that. On that first one, I was a praid
of that from a distance from fans of cigar, Yeah,
you know what, you can pretty cool designs on that.
So with these things, man, it's becoming a thing.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
I got that AI thing.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
Uh, the ones with the square photos that that is
a uh came out very Yeah, it looks really good.
So and then of course I added the text and
stuff to that, but it just it was pretty warm,
you know, but it didn't do it for me, right,

(50:16):
So I kept fiddling around a little bit. So I
got to come up with something else. And now I
started messing around with this, the one in the red
and the gray at the top left, and things just
started clicking together. Started to put stuff here and shaping
the words here, and I'm like.

Speaker 3 (50:31):
Oh my god, like that one with love guard mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
Those those are my favorite.

Speaker 3 (50:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
So there's what's the lead time on those? You think
a week?

Speaker 1 (50:46):
About a week week and a half, depending on where
you where you're at. I forget where they ship from,
but uh, I think it's Vegas.

Speaker 4 (50:55):
I think delivery time for me is between the seventh
and twenty ninth of this month.

Speaker 3 (51:01):
There, You that's not bad, that's not terrible.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
Is there a specific shirt that they should if they're
wanting to get one? Is there a specific style of
shirt that does better than others.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
Yeah, well, unfortunately, the the what is it.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
The Triblin may not even gave you that option on them.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
I don't tell me so anyway, the plain cotton t
shirt that the cheapest one has the most color options.
It's okay, you want to do that. I what did
you say that you have the Tribelin mm hmmm.

Speaker 3 (51:43):
And then what you're doing again?

Speaker 1 (51:44):
The Triblin, the Triblin or the Bella plus canvas shirts.

Speaker 3 (51:49):
One of my favorite ones is that because it's like breatheable.

Speaker 1 (51:52):
They're a lighter material. The artwork has lasted. I've had
some shirts in the past that I may have ordered
from one of the other shops, from Printful. I used
that a couple of times. I'm thinking those and they
was printed on just playing cotton shirts. The logos didn't

(52:12):
last year. Through some Washington you can't even tell what's
on them.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
But the Norman says he like the shirt to use
the official Huntsville amphislo.

Speaker 1 (52:23):
They're still there for sale. They just got twenty twenty
four on them.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
I actually like Jody's comment better. I think which one
wakes away the ham sting?

Speaker 1 (52:34):
There there it is right there, there's twenty twenty fours.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
Did they did they tell you? Did they say anything
to you about that?

Speaker 3 (52:40):
Or no?

Speaker 1 (52:41):
I had a little talk with one of the chair
members about it. I heard of the grapevine that there
was some mixed emotions about that.

Speaker 3 (52:50):
How well, but I have I done? Were they getting
a cut off?

Speaker 2 (52:53):
Maybe they should hire you to do their shirts because
they're there.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
You go with the contract negotiations, you know, I randomly
picked a couple of h's that I thought looked nice.
I didn't put a little outliner trademark symbol there, I
didn't copy and paste, but I agreed with them to
to continue, you know, not being trespassed from the show.
Are going to court that I acknowledged that that was

(53:19):
pretty dawn close looking, and I was kind of proud
that I kind of did that freehand.

Speaker 3 (53:26):
Yeah, just because you're wrong doesn't mean you're guilty.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
So going forward, I told him I wouldn't purposely attempt
to replicate so closely their their HH, which at the
same time, I'm thinking that HH doesn't have lines around
it and stuff. So I mean the hospital there, Huntsville Hospital,

(53:52):
mm hm, they've got they've got the same logo on
top of their building. But you know it's the friendly.

Speaker 2 (54:01):
All these are customizable to Everybody needs to remember that
you can put whatever you want on them.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
Yeah, yeah, so let's let's go through. Just pick you
one and then you're gonna go and look, paramen, you
click on the piscil and that thing is gonna let
you customize to whatever you want.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
You can uh.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
Click on that picture if you want it smaller or
bigger around, you can put.

Speaker 3 (54:27):
That on the back and just put your call sign
in the front. And that's the beauty of it.

Speaker 1 (54:33):
Man, how do you do that? So I don't want
to put well, I don't know. I don't got too
much stuff going one.

Speaker 3 (54:47):
This is why we're live. Yeah, jeez, who is that
famous painter? What was that guy's name?

Speaker 2 (54:56):
Bob?

Speaker 3 (54:59):
The guy was pick throw oh over here, Joe Brett
is like the Bob Ross right now.

Speaker 1 (55:07):
Right so then, oh well that's copyrighted Bob Bross on there.

Speaker 3 (55:17):
See, you're getting yourself in trouble all over the place possible.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
Look, you just check your differents make you a different size,
So you want everybody to know.

Speaker 3 (55:30):
What you call sign?

Speaker 1 (55:31):
Whatever you want to do. That's pretty cool. They give
you all those options. You can upload your own images
if you want to do that, or put last year's
image on there with it. You want to be a
jack wagon there and word around the best to me

(55:52):
old memories. Oh you got stickers too, Yeah, each one
of them has their own stickers.

Speaker 3 (55:59):
Joe Brow, are you also doing clubhouse or it's that
only on chains?

Speaker 1 (56:03):
That's only on Shane? Yeah, I mean I have some
last year, but we decided to put that on.

Speaker 3 (56:09):
So everyone's watching and keep everything and keep saying. You
want stickers, and you want a mug, and you want
the barbecue apron. You go to Shane's spread shirt and
that's where you get all the clubhouse stuff.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
Yeah, link link shirt.

Speaker 3 (56:25):
That was a great one. I love that one.

Speaker 1 (56:28):
How's crystal treasure, Matt?

Speaker 3 (56:32):
I gotta put that in a frame? I gotta put
you still can't it's up?

Speaker 1 (56:38):
Well, I just ordered two shirts for the ham pass.
Oh you got about that? Was talking about the heat,
the heat and stuff. How about when the when the
heat scale goes.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
Yeah, that's that's when is does not turn off the
central air condition exactly.

Speaker 1 (57:01):
Let me put that away before I hit the wrong
tak Oh one of those boy, huh, buy my chat again.
So anyway, let's run down in the shirts you interested
in one of those? I wouldn't wait longer than we
let me. How can we see LEAs see when the

(57:27):
next promotion is. I think one just started.

Speaker 3 (57:34):
Well there was not one tonight. I'll tell you that.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
Uh huh he didn't have it turned on.

Speaker 1 (57:45):
No, no, I'll leave him all turned on. So h
this is really this is pushing it. But July thirtieth
through August the third is off everything cool, and then
a thirteenth or the seventeenth, it's gonna be too late
to order.

Speaker 3 (58:03):
He's also twenty so.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
I would check on what it says your shipping time
is whether you want to wait for that twenty percent
or night. And I have no control over that. That's
that's the online shop when it runs right.

Speaker 2 (58:21):
Yep, right, yeah, they control all that.

Speaker 3 (58:24):
Oh no they don't. Who does you do?

Speaker 1 (58:29):
Is there an apply? Apply? Can I apply it? Just
let me change the day? Say sorry, Steve, starting tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (58:39):
I'm just gonna call you mont Santa.

Speaker 1 (58:43):
Damn yeah, storty five percent discount starting tomorrow, there's a
tent off everything through July the twenty seventh. We learned
all the time we.

Speaker 3 (58:57):
Don't we learn, we don't know, we don't uh, we
don't do math. But there is a discout.

Speaker 1 (59:04):
Yeah, so look, let me just show you what I'm
looking at here. So here's here's the campaign thing.

Speaker 3 (59:12):
You know you could change that.

Speaker 1 (59:14):
I didn't think you could, but I clicked on it
and I clicked on a date and it changed. It
wouldn't let me do it for tonight. It's gotta start.
H I turned it off. But yeah, and then when
you make a change, it says save up here. It
doesn't eynmore because I've already saved it. So but what
I'm you see, it's only twenty third to the twenty seven.

(59:35):
So then after that, let's let's go ahead and change
this one to uh twenty seven. It'll start on the
twenty eight through August, so you got to August the
first to get twenty percent off, and then then that's
over with until because it'll be too late.

Speaker 3 (59:55):
Probably that that is the Joe Brett special right there.
Let's see the next mm hmmm, I don't know. Let's
keep going here. This is a once a year's sale anyway.
Eight one. That's very true.

Speaker 1 (01:00:12):
That's so I can do all the way only to
the fifth. Can I extend that? Nope, so it's it's
only for four days. So anyway, I got it to
the fifth anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:00:25):
Hey, cow, So my recommendation for you, I would do
something in May for Father's Day gifts for June, and
then do something in November or early December for Christmas gifts.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
Well, now that we know that, we can change it,
and then yeah, I'll go change the clubhouse promos.

Speaker 3 (01:00:45):
How about that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
It's kind of like one of those TikTok commercials. I'm
really sorry about all the people that's already bought this.

Speaker 3 (01:00:57):
Look there. Oh god, yep at montsant Owen. Oh yeah,
what's up with that?

Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
Hold on, hold on, hold on, wait a minute, I
got five Internet. It just takes a second fiber. Yep,
all right, the house check that out. After we've all
reserved the third weekend in August. Now, anybody that can

(01:01:26):
happen to find a reservation for that weekend can get
twenty five percent off your cabin or campground rental.

Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
That's it is special right there. You need reservations only you.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
Have to use the promo code August twenty fifth, because
this August twenty five percent off.

Speaker 3 (01:01:43):
How about that.

Speaker 4 (01:01:44):
And I'm sorry they're doing that promo in August when
they know they're fully booked for at least one.

Speaker 3 (01:01:49):
Week in August. Yeah, just money hungry. Is there a
couple of stuff like on the light skirts which just
hasn't been reserved? Is that possible?

Speaker 1 (01:02:01):
No big adventures and fewer crowds away? Not the third
week Now the third weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
You got that detos coming around. Man, that'd be some
big adventures. I used to say, Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
Okay Burn said it because he released ten reservation.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
Yeah, and now they're like, man, we gotta get who
gotta get too money? Well, there you go, there's ten maybes,
go get them. Maybe some openings get twenty five percent off.
Held Burn probably has something to do.

Speaker 3 (01:02:32):
With the promo. Interstellar said, sold out, thanks, Vernon sold out.

Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
Well, if you're not, if you're not going to go
to the ham Fist, if you're in Oklahoma, you can
see me August the eighth, ninth, and tenth in Total,
Oklahoma outside Oklahoma City and on the twenty ninth, thirtieth,
and thirty first in Joppling, Missouri at the Route sixty
six Hut Air Bloding Festival.

Speaker 3 (01:02:58):
There you go, rout success. You'd best be taking a
radio that one.

Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
Yes, I will take a radio to that one, because
I'm taking the truck and so I have the trailer
and all that kind of stuff. I can't set up
like the the DX Commander. But I'll take something.

Speaker 3 (01:03:16):
Yeah, it's called the seven it's called the seven H
six mark two G.

Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
What antenda time talking about the antenna. But yes, I'll
have a radio for but probably both of those, uh total.
I don't think there's a PoTA park anywhere near Joplin.

Speaker 3 (01:03:32):
There is another.

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
There's some PoTA parks up there, so I might do
a PODA there.

Speaker 4 (01:03:40):
According to the Mont Sano Reservation website, right now there
are two primitive sites available checking in Thursday, the fourteenth,
and checking out Monday the eighteenth. Everything else is booked.
So the ten that that vern just put in there
and already they already done. So wow, that's for those

(01:04:02):
that like me, you're coming in on Thursday and leave
it on Monday.

Speaker 1 (01:04:10):
Well, and if you're really really interested, it's always best
to call the office. Absolutely, website may not be updated.
You know, the thing about the online reservation thing, all
the parts that went to what terrifies me about it
is the double bookings? Mm hmm happened to my parents.

Speaker 3 (01:04:35):
Have you to say, have you experienced that it? So far?
I have not? But what do you mean? So what
do you mean? So like there's a guy like me
standing there and you're like, wait a mane, that's my
and you're.

Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
Like not that and you both have receipts for the
same spot on the same day.

Speaker 3 (01:04:50):
So what do we have to do. We have to
share it. We have to share it against You got.

Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
To come up with a gentleman's agreement and who's moving
and who ain't?

Speaker 3 (01:04:56):
Okay, Well, then that that's the parks response or that's
the yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:05:01):
And look, most of your parts, the ones I stay
at anyway purposely, just like your hotels purposely, even though
they may say they're sold out, have five six extra
rooms or spots that nobody's actually at. Or the occasion
that something's wrong and they need to put you on
another spot, what's.

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
Often nice of them. So it looks like I'll be
able to activate.

Speaker 3 (01:05:29):
Okay, hang on.

Speaker 1 (01:05:30):
Shane so Vern is talking about those that come up
for the uh where worth the pavilion and stuff coming
in to hang out. That's not camping. If you're not
staying at Money's, then oh you can at the gate.
You can let them know you're with the Hem Radio
group going to the pavilion. He's paid for eighty day passes,

(01:05:51):
so that's paid for. But if you are staying in
the campground, you've already paid that fee. Don't ask for it.
You're taking it away from somebody else a point. Yes,
it's included in your camp fore you If you're staying
at Money Center, don't say nothing about it. The only
thing you tell the gate guy is I got a reservation.

Speaker 3 (01:06:09):
Y if you stay at Mont Sailor use your reservation
to get h Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:06:13):
But if you're just coming up to you're staying in
a hotel or somewhere off site, you don't have to
pay day pass to come in for a few hours
to hang out with us up to eighty eight. I
hope I'll explained that. Well, yep, you did, you did,
and vern thank you for covering that.

Speaker 3 (01:06:32):
Yeah, thank you man. Yeah, and you're awesome man. Thank you.
He's I, He's I. So for for those that are.

Speaker 2 (01:06:45):
I mentioned or saw somebody and that mentioned Joppling in
the chat, we're going to be at the old Joplin
sixty six Speedway. Oh so I think they've turned that
into a an events place out so that's where that's
where we're going to set all the balloons everything, And
there's a couple of parks.

Speaker 3 (01:07:08):
I think we got twenty twenty twenty five. I think
that's still a good shown. Yeah. Yeah, oh.

Speaker 2 (01:07:14):
I got on the balloon front, and I'll shove up
about balloons after this, but I did. If you don't
follow me on Facebook, her, Twitter, her ex whatever you
want to call it, I was officially accepted as a
secondary pilot for Fiesta this year.

Speaker 1 (01:07:29):
Perhaps it will be I will be.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
Flying a bright yellow one five balloon during Fiesta and Albuquerque.

Speaker 1 (01:07:38):
And I guess the wait a minute, come on, because
that sounds like you make it sound like this a
pretty awesome achievement.

Speaker 3 (01:07:45):
It is.

Speaker 1 (01:07:45):
Then there's also the secondary thing, like are you the
batter up in case somebody's balloon doesn't inflate or.

Speaker 2 (01:07:51):
No, I'm if the primary is unable to fly, or
if he would just like to let me fly that day.
I am approved through the event to fly that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:01):
So you're talking like you're flying no matter what. So
you already like busted the kneecaps of this primary. He's
gonna take the primary before I get him drunk.

Speaker 2 (01:08:12):
The primary said I could have it.

Speaker 1 (01:08:13):
So what was that?

Speaker 3 (01:08:17):
What was that Olympics? What was the the Olympics with
the girl the ice skating thing? Nancy Harrigan and yeah, yeah, yeah,
as gonna pull almost Tanya Harding. That's because I'm old
someone's gonna pull a Tanya Harding on that pilot.

Speaker 2 (01:08:33):
He the first time I ever got a scared of
ice skates, the first couple of times. He's got to
be there so he can't just turn me loose.

Speaker 3 (01:08:40):
Joe Bright, you never thought ice skating was going to
be a dangerous man. I don't know what dead sport.
Little squirret.

Speaker 1 (01:08:49):
Girl tried to murder another one like slice slice her
face in half of the ice skate.

Speaker 3 (01:08:53):
Oh yeah, mm hmm, Joe, what'd you do this weekend?
That's an hour? And who never got through?

Speaker 1 (01:09:06):
Put me on the spot. I was enjoying the show
to you asked me what I Well, don't worry about
the time. I didn't do much, but I did some.
I actually turned three D printer on probably the first
time this year, and done a lot of three D
printing stuff I needed around the office and some of
my co workers needed. And I'm going to send you
some files to print some stuff. I need to send

(01:09:27):
the money for the filament too.

Speaker 3 (01:09:28):
You got to do filament hanging and hanging around? Did
you ain't used it out?

Speaker 2 (01:09:37):
First?

Speaker 3 (01:09:37):
Society to buy that new a MS two pro.

Speaker 1 (01:09:40):
That's bad, you know, come in and you look at
it and you're filament that's in the a MS is
already snapped in half. Well, probably need to try to
print that. So that's why that's what I was doing.
I was going through a lot of filament, so it would.

Speaker 3 (01:09:54):
Is that humidity dependent? So you want it too dry? Right?
You don't want you to do? You want it right?

Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
You want to cry because it absorbs the moisture most
most of the films do and when they get asorb
the moisture, it makes them brittle and make them right.

Speaker 3 (01:10:10):
So watching so watching Jason, So watching the two point
oh show a couple of weeks ago, do you guys
feel that these printers are getting smarter with more options?

Speaker 1 (01:10:20):
And hell yeah, I started with a Elagu Neptune four pro.
Why do they got to put so many names with it?
But anyway, that was a manual bedslinger. And when I
say manual, that means I had to manually adjust the
springs under the bed and do all the leveling myself.
And I went through months of trying to get that

(01:10:41):
thing right. And it was one little setting. It was
the extruder ratio that made everything work perfect because I
knew I had the bed level as good as I'm
going to get level and I'm still getting crappy prints.
But it was a tenth of a something off whatever,
tenth of a millimeter off on the ratio maybe yeah, yeah,

(01:11:02):
that was it, and I hadn't touched it. Since it's printed. Great,
Now I buy the bamboo. He one get out of
the box, put it together. It does it's own calibration.
I'll do is print.

Speaker 3 (01:11:17):
What you're looking for, what and what you're looking for
to see, and I mean it says no disrespect if
your floor is slanted or or what you're looking for
at the table. That no. So the band didn't want
to go there, shade, I didn't want to go there.

Speaker 4 (01:11:31):
But the bamboo actually does a It will actually shake
itself and get the harmonic of the printer.

Speaker 3 (01:11:42):
So that as that print. Head's moving. It doesn't mess
up the print. It's the Michael J's cycle. It's got Parkinson.
I don't care. To me, it's all about that flavor.
You know what I mean. I'll take it well or
I don't care. I mean, it's all about that flavor.
You know what I mean. In theory, then if you

(01:12:10):
had an earthquake.

Speaker 2 (01:12:13):
And you're printing, you're not gonna stay in the house.
See if your print comes out correctly.

Speaker 1 (01:12:19):
Better, hope you got good bet adhesion.

Speaker 3 (01:12:21):
Yeah, otherwise it's gonna do like that. It's gonna it's
it's gonna lean to the left a little bit. It's
gonna get a little bit of a curve. It's gonna
have a curve. Okay, Yeah, this is why we talk.
This is why I want a about this stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:12:36):
Oh wow, the Bamboo Labs P one has vibration compensation and.

Speaker 3 (01:12:42):
Has it too, does it? You know, if if we
were on discord right now, I would be telling a
great story. I just I can't out here, No, I can't.
I can't even clean it up day.

Speaker 2 (01:12:57):
It doesn Bamboo Mini is something else.

Speaker 3 (01:13:00):
It is there. H ain't doing it. I got it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:05):
I'm still waiting on a laser to get here.

Speaker 4 (01:13:08):
Just said I'd like to get the p one s
with the new Amos because the new Amos has a
dryer in it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:15):
Oh that's cool. Yeah, yeah, my laser. They's supposed to
be here in April. Still hasn't left. Trying, not happy,
not happy at.

Speaker 3 (01:13:28):
All, Stuck in the port.

Speaker 1 (01:13:32):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
They haven't told me whether or not it's officially shipped yet.
It's waiting on the rotary extension.

Speaker 3 (01:13:39):
I know a lady who had a wedding dress. I
know a lady who had a wedding dress. Stn't cut
the port. Oh that sucks, certain lady in your life.
We'll go into it later. Okay, that's on the internet
talking about three D printing. We just we just did this.

Speaker 1 (01:14:03):
It's supposed to be so. I made me a I
made a printed a phone stand over the weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:14:09):
David, Yes, it work.

Speaker 1 (01:14:12):
And then Noel was like, I want one of those.
And I'm like, I don't really want to print another
one of those. There's a lot of different styles. And
she's like, yeah, I want one of those. You can
fold up and I can put in my purse and
not worry about breaking it. I'm like, okay, this is
supposed to fold. About to see it, and I don't think.

(01:14:36):
I really think it's going to break in half because
this not moving.

Speaker 3 (01:14:42):
We're live, We're live here on Tuesday night. Worked no, no,
now open it and bend it again. Keep on working it.
He just had to get the hand to break it.
I want to see me work it. I just so now.

Speaker 1 (01:15:01):
There you can take that out of a person.

Speaker 3 (01:15:03):
I think that some stuff there you go there? How
about that? Well? Use you could use that for those
little mini q r P radios too.

Speaker 1 (01:15:19):
Yeah something like that. Yeah cool, well that and that's
some of that.

Speaker 5 (01:15:23):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:15:24):
This is some friends lucent red that I had because
I was gonna print mono cars and make tail lights
out of it. Okay, this was part of the filament
that was starting to break because it was getting moisture
in it.

Speaker 3 (01:15:34):
But still is that? Yes, that is peel.

Speaker 2 (01:15:40):
Do you want me to send you the STL file
for the INTENDA topper? Not that now you wanna print
that in translucent red.

Speaker 1 (01:15:50):
Because I'm just gonna say, your printer keeps a log
of everything that.

Speaker 3 (01:15:55):
You print, so there's history there everything, and forensics investigation
we'll look at that printers. History. Man, we can't run
from anything anymore. That's uh.

Speaker 1 (01:16:10):
I got to take my drone to work because I
have software to attract data from drones and I haven't
got to do that yet. So I don't know if
my batteries. I got one out of three batteries that
were still good a couple of years ago. It's probably
not no good any or either. Probably give you three minutes, right,
So I.

Speaker 3 (01:16:31):
Need to track past.

Speaker 1 (01:16:35):
These only one stay serious. I was trying to let
it go, Let it go, Let it go.

Speaker 2 (01:16:43):
So you could put somebody's call sign on that. And
you can customize those those, Yeah, you can sell.

Speaker 3 (01:16:51):
You can sell stell on that easty on that easty
on that easty website. You can also make the name
blates for the Apache box. Yeah, there you go. Was
I say crime scene? M hmm.

Speaker 1 (01:17:06):
It's got two little stands like the really freeze up
thank you. So it's got two little stands goes in
these slights.

Speaker 3 (01:17:13):
I don't have do have one like a little barricade.

Speaker 1 (01:17:19):
I had two extra stands because I couldn't remember. I'm like,
where the hell is the fourth one at? I printed
for these and uh so anyway, they fit great over
a keyboard. So when you're running some processes on the
computer keyboards, I just thought it's.

Speaker 3 (01:17:36):
Kind of cute. So that cell phone holder, how long
did that take to break? Thirty minutes? Do you ever Okay,
you must not be running ludicrous mode? No, I just
I do default, man, I just hit the button. So
if we have the mode, yes, ludicrous speed, ludicrous speed.

(01:18:00):
Do you guys ever think that sometime in the future
that'll be that's a five minute.

Speaker 2 (01:18:08):
I bet there's some commercial ones that'll they can print
a lot faster.

Speaker 1 (01:18:12):
They're they're constantly making newer printers with faster speeds, and
then they have to compensate that with new filaments that
can keep up with those speeds as well. So yeah,
it's it's possible.

Speaker 3 (01:18:24):
I mean you got with that.

Speaker 1 (01:18:26):
Uh what's the new bamboo that it does the three
D printing, the laser the eight H two D or something. Yeah,
so it does laser print and what else is something else?
There's three things that it is.

Speaker 3 (01:18:39):
So where are they getting this stuff from? Like a plant,
like like a plant in the Amazon and and they're
melting it the I mean, where's the stuff coming from?
We're just material coming from China.

Speaker 1 (01:18:50):
Okay, I'm not gonna spend the money for it, but
you can actually get a a filament e screwder or
whatever they call it where you can take empty water
bottles or coke bottles, plastic bottles and make it into filament.

Speaker 3 (01:19:06):
Or you or your belt them down. Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (01:19:12):
That's pretty snazzy.

Speaker 3 (01:19:15):
So all this recycling stuff that we got in our
house someday can.

Speaker 2 (01:19:18):
Be made into a phone stand.

Speaker 3 (01:19:21):
Yep. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:19:23):
I did buy a T shirt on the trip and
on the label on the inside it says made out
of recycled plastic bottles.

Speaker 3 (01:19:31):
Mhmm, it's comfortable T shirt too. What did what the
entire t shirt was? Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:19:40):
Really, it looks just like this regular fabric, but it
says made out of recycled plastic bottles.

Speaker 3 (01:19:47):
Is there a is there like a thepods on that?
Can you get ten cents for that? You can?

Speaker 2 (01:19:52):
Y'all tell me exactly how many bottles? This isn't even
get meta poses back. That was one thing we and
in uh in Oregon is they do uh bottle deposits too.

Speaker 3 (01:20:04):
That you don't have to have time cents back. I
thought everybody had that. Thank come up with the times.

Speaker 1 (01:20:17):
Look look at a can or whatever next time, and
you'll see. I remember used to there was like only
three states listed and said, you know, ten cents except here, here, here,
And now it's like they ain't even got room to
put the nutrition facts no more, all the states that

(01:20:37):
got listed on there.

Speaker 3 (01:20:44):
What do you got this week? Anything? Fun? H?

Speaker 1 (01:20:50):
I don't know, Well, y'all finish that topic. I got
a question for chat because I know none of y'all
do well.

Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
I mean I kind of do too, And I don't
think you and I are gonna talk about saying.

Speaker 3 (01:21:02):
I mean, none of y'all have what I'm interested in?
How do you know that? Listen? Because I know you
you just you never underestimated is hey is Joe brand As?
You're not a radio arrived yet?

Speaker 2 (01:21:20):
Okay, mine was the only one. It's a radio that's
not a radio, right, Well, I guess technically it's radio.

Speaker 1 (01:21:32):
I took uh. I took my POC one of those radios.
I took it to work the other day. But I've
been too busy to really dive into it very much.
But I have got an image of the full on
it and interested in seeing what can be done.

Speaker 2 (01:21:52):
With that, think what the chat chat thinks about these
little radios.

Speaker 3 (01:21:58):
I'm debating whether to get by too well one for
the kids. You know, I don't know, because if the
cellular network goes down, then what good is it? Well,
it's the rapid radio. Yeah, no, it's the talk pod.

Speaker 2 (01:22:13):
Talk POD's coming out with a N ninety eight plus
that works over LTE network.

Speaker 3 (01:22:21):
But if the cell network goes down, well.

Speaker 2 (01:22:24):
The ain't supposed to be your end all be all.
It's just an option for people. But the interesting thing
is is like if you if you look at the
front of it, it's got like one four eight hundred
and four thirty eight five hundred. It's got like frequencies
and stuff on the front of it. So I don't
know what the story is with that. They they sent

(01:22:45):
out an email and I told them he's a sucker.
But they sent out emails and said, hey, we want
you guys to do a video on this on this radio.
And I sent a message to Joe Brett and the
rest of them. I was like, I don't know why
they send it to me. I don't make videos anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:22:58):
And they still you want guy.

Speaker 2 (01:23:06):
Dang Well, I got an email like A couple of
days later, it says, here, complete your purchases. I ain't
buy his ship that went down. It's freely. I guess, well,
so i'll make a video.

Speaker 3 (01:23:17):
I got that.

Speaker 1 (01:23:18):
I got that one too, and I still didn't do that.
I did not do anything.

Speaker 3 (01:23:22):
They just sent it to you.

Speaker 1 (01:23:24):
The thirty email gave me a track number one.

Speaker 2 (01:23:28):
It's been it's been on en route for fourteen days,
so I don't know where it's stuck at. But I
just I was curious that the chap and just cash
on delivery, going back, going back.

Speaker 3 (01:23:42):
Yeah, but uh, let me, I'll post it's an oak
paint cheap no more.

Speaker 6 (01:23:47):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:23:50):
Anyway, I post a link in there for y'all want
y'all want to take a look at it.

Speaker 1 (01:23:52):
If somebody done a video the other day, I forget
who it was. It was h O a hand on it. No,
there's something totally different. Several weeks. But thank you Jenna.

Speaker 3 (01:24:03):
Jeff.

Speaker 1 (01:24:03):
He got center product for review. But I think he
said he had to pay like thirty four dollars for
the tariff cost on it.

Speaker 3 (01:24:11):
How about no, while thirty four dollars do that video?
What is a virtual amateur app? Exactly?

Speaker 2 (01:24:20):
What he said me exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:24:23):
So, look, have you not ever heard of what was it? Spear?
There was there's already a computer web based application that's
been going on for years that simulates HF propagation and stuff.
It's not RF, it's all Internet, but it's pretty sweet
because you got fading and certain times of the day

(01:24:44):
you can contact people in certain regions they didn't work.
So that's what you need to send me the infront
of that. Okay, I'll see if I can't find it,
Oh you in order one to.

Speaker 3 (01:24:57):
No the AHRIF stuff he saw, Oh I got another.

Speaker 2 (01:25:02):
It's like, I'll send you the I'll send you to
get you a free one of these in ninety eight.

Speaker 3 (01:25:06):
Things, he's if you want it in fifty eight plus no,
and then in ninety eight is it fifty eight ninety eight?
The link you sentence the fifty eight.

Speaker 2 (01:25:14):
Yeah, they only got one. It's fifty eight.

Speaker 1 (01:25:19):
Yeah, the link there see.

Speaker 3 (01:25:22):
In our private yep. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:25:25):
Okay, So that's pretty much what this this HANDHIL is
gonna be just or a version of that. No, I
shouldn't say localized. But instead of having to deal with propagation,
uh imitation, I would assume it's just like the Zello,

(01:25:47):
and each freakent is a different talk group for.

Speaker 3 (01:25:50):
Room or whatever. That's all take like like a zello.

Speaker 1 (01:25:54):
Yeah, it's gonna have it.

Speaker 3 (01:25:56):
You used, though, I got ideas for so would you
give it the kids? You think exactly makes an airband radio? Joe,
we're thinking the same thing. Because they the kids don't
use it, the battery is going to go dead.

Speaker 1 (01:26:13):
Yeah, now that's exactly what I was thinking. But then
I just thought I might need a monitor to see
what kind of crowd is on it. Don't want to
handle them? Uh you know Channel nineteen. Oh that's true,
or what the more modern day says. You don't need
that Xbox game jet.

Speaker 3 (01:26:37):
And like, I don't want it to have a camera
on it because I I you know, oh id no, no,
when you're a parent, you you know it, but you
don't want to see it. That's true.

Speaker 2 (01:26:50):
So Lee asked that only connects to other chalk puns.

Speaker 3 (01:26:54):
I have no idea. I'm assuming so I'm sure.

Speaker 2 (01:26:59):
I'm sure they're gonna they're going to try to which
means that you'll be me and Joe Britt Canna be
the only ones to get well to each other.

Speaker 1 (01:27:05):
So there's no doubt all these type of devices run
a Flavor and Android as their operating system. So therefore
there's the app is going to be an APK. So
theoretically you could have any other Android operating system, radio device,
or device whatever, as long as you sideload that APK

(01:27:27):
on there, if you can find it, or maybe I
can extract it whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:27:34):
It should work in these things on h By the
time Joe Britt talking about a cross pack, that's a
cross patch if I have ever heard one.

Speaker 1 (01:27:46):
I was looking back when I was messing that thing,
I made videos on it. I couldn't remember how in
the heck I sideloaded apps on that particular device because
it ain't got no play store, it ain't got no
web browser or nothing like that. And uh so I
went back to my videos, and of course I'm demo
and how you can use the internet based radio poc

(01:28:07):
radio with Zello, uh and use actual RF radios with
it and make an RF link. But Zello has shut
those servers down. It's no more wore offline. Yeah, kind
of I was reminiscing a little bit, kind of upset
my feelings.

Speaker 2 (01:28:26):
Now I remember what I was gonna tell you.

Speaker 3 (01:28:28):
So.

Speaker 2 (01:28:28):
The the the software that that's on this radio is
called the link poon and talking to radio, Crusader said,
we're going to be poon pals.

Speaker 3 (01:28:46):
Linked link Poon capable radios.

Speaker 1 (01:28:51):
Poon poon poon to poo.

Speaker 3 (01:28:56):
I can hear it in the park now I know
what I'm putting on that radio. There's so much I
wanted to say. I can't let it go. Let it go.
If I said I didn't want, someone was going to
get a rested tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:29:12):
And if you scroll down on that link that I
put in the chat down at the bottom, it says
linked poon, it's the system there runs on anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:29:23):
Oh by.

Speaker 2 (01:29:28):
Well, gentlemen, I need to step away and go back
to my email inbox for the night. But you are
more than welcome to keep this show.

Speaker 1 (01:29:38):
Excuse to the community to step away from all our
friends to go clean out your email box.

Speaker 3 (01:29:43):
Do you do you have a wash his hair? No?
I know he has a wall hair. What are you
talking about? That was the difference?

Speaker 2 (01:29:51):
God, I swear. Anyway, it's great seeing you guys.

Speaker 3 (01:29:54):
As always. You had a question. Oh your question you
jumped in. We didn't your question. I tell you what
I did? What what I did last week? You did,
so you're going man, I was gonna say, yeah, we
never went all the way around the room.

Speaker 1 (01:30:09):
And the way to run a show. I'll tell you
what was going on.

Speaker 3 (01:30:13):
This is not what I signed off for.

Speaker 1 (01:30:15):
A real road y'all.

Speaker 3 (01:30:18):
I ain't you ain't young, Stay in town and you
don't need me.

Speaker 2 (01:30:24):
Okay, bye, see you for you. Have have fun with
the podcast sad for everybody. Y'all have a good one.
I'll see you next week.

Speaker 3 (01:30:38):
Go away.

Speaker 1 (01:30:39):
You can't see what I'm go away.

Speaker 3 (01:30:41):
I'm trying to.

Speaker 1 (01:30:44):
There we go. Yeah, I was doing that on purpose,
run making stay longer. Does anybody use this software station Master?
I have looked at it all right, I am I
the guy that created I forget his call sign is
maybe on the screen here somewhere.

Speaker 3 (01:31:07):
But no it's not.

Speaker 1 (01:31:10):
But the the developer of this was on live YouTube
making contacts of the night maybe last night. I come
across it. Do This thing is jam packed with some
cool stuff. Yeah, you have to pay for it, like
monthly or whatever, but I wish I had more screens
to show you.

Speaker 3 (01:31:30):
So what does it do that like World Radio and
and and other doesn't do? I guess this is this
is what we're getting down to? What is three?

Speaker 1 (01:31:42):
It can't be much, right, mobile, PC, Mac, Linux, and Web.
But I mean, this guy was going through make this
evey bigger. This guy was going through all these tabs,
all these freaking tabs. Dude, He's got the globe, he
had a waterfall, spots, all kinds of stuff. Man, it

(01:32:07):
was just really frigging So Mike.

Speaker 3 (01:32:10):
Hard But but what does it do that that the
others don't hire? What advantage or what extra options?

Speaker 1 (01:32:17):
I don't know. It's had so much stuff to it
what he's asking. Yeah, I was watching the video, just
watching him click through the thing. I was that intrigued.
It's kind of like Mike coming across saprs.

Speaker 3 (01:32:32):
For the first time. Just so they're saying. So they're
saying about four dollars and fifty cents somewhere wrong. It's
not too bad. Interesting. There's a video on how to
connect it to an icon radio. It's got its own
FT eight sat up in it, j T d X.

Speaker 1 (01:32:53):
Got rig share, web SDR and output tab notepad, lightning. Yeah,
he's I saw that. He look to see how close
the storms were.

Speaker 3 (01:33:02):
Connect log for o m N one mm HRD and
can connect your loggers into it. Most of them export
import beam. Uh okay, so it's so it's not a lot.
So it's not a logging program.

Speaker 1 (01:33:21):
Yeah, it's a logging program, radio control, antenna control, it's everything.

Speaker 3 (01:33:28):
Just what it does that well radio league doesn't.

Speaker 4 (01:33:34):
Is like I'm seeing people that are online right now,
and it shows me what frequency they're on. Okay, if
there's somebody I wanted to make a contact with, I
could if I had it all set up, I could
probably just click on them mhm, and it would tune
my radio right to them.

Speaker 3 (01:33:57):
Well, that takes all the fun out of twinning of
your radio on top of somebody. But oh, Rollie's on
there right now. Actually eight Raley excellent, and he just switched.

Speaker 1 (01:34:14):
It looks forward the here's some of the guys. He
was live three hours ago operating all the stuff. He's
got all his bands and logging stuff up here with
your audio stuff for.

Speaker 3 (01:34:28):
So for somebody who sits in his shack, this could
be this could be yet yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:34:33):
Oh yeah, but you can put it on you on
like I said, phone devices, pull it up on the web,
so you could use it wherever you're at there's scope.

Speaker 3 (01:34:44):
I wonder if that gives you remote access to your radio.

Speaker 1 (01:34:47):
Yeah, I'm well, I don't know. He said, brig share,
so surely if you can share it with somebody else,
you can use it yourself, remote maps, all the contacts.
I just thought it was cool to have all the
things that we like in one package.

Speaker 3 (01:35:03):
Right right, very interesting. Well why don't why don't you
get this guy that come on as a guest is video.
You control five radios and two rotators. It's got Poda, Soto, Poda,

(01:35:24):
all that kind of stuff in it. This is not
checking the lightning, so it's kind of neat. Man.

Speaker 1 (01:35:35):
Don't know if anybody watches us actually used it or not.
It's got the analog meter option. That's the selling point.

Speaker 3 (01:35:49):
That could be well to play around with.

Speaker 1 (01:35:53):
So that was my little too bit of interest.

Speaker 3 (01:35:58):
Featured views on d X Commander and Martin Lynchinson's It's
callum juice on it stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:36:10):
I may throw down four dollars fifty cents for at
least one month.

Speaker 3 (01:36:15):
I'll try it.

Speaker 1 (01:36:16):
I'm sure there's different levels.

Speaker 3 (01:36:18):
I don't know I'm seeing monthly or yearly.

Speaker 1 (01:36:23):
I was trying to make the screen smaller and I
still had the chat one to that selected oops everybody's
chat would come fine print.

Speaker 3 (01:36:31):
Mm hmm. Yeah. So I'm not gonna do it right now.

Speaker 1 (01:36:36):
I'll wait till I actually start playing radio again, which
is starting to pick back up.

Speaker 3 (01:36:40):
But m.

Speaker 1 (01:36:46):
Yeah, I got hot out here this weekend. I played
a little radio between some printing. Even turn the lamp
on a little bit, burn all the cobwebs out of it.

Speaker 3 (01:36:57):
There you go. Yeah, you were gonna turn it on
the last night, weren't you. But they showed on that show,
yeah talking about t O.

Speaker 1 (01:37:04):
Yeah yeah, And I come out here. I have to
get the computer started, because you know, my mic goes
to the computer, got the the amp on, and then
I get the radio set. Everything's tuned up, and then
Frank's three posting Teo's crt q r T CRT. People
kept respotting to O. They're respotting him and in the

(01:37:27):
comment saying can't hear you and so and so, and
then Frank would be puret so.

Speaker 3 (01:37:34):
Well, I was just like you. I was just signing,
do I run downstairs running the garage or bring something
out to the to the deck carriage.

Speaker 1 (01:37:39):
I started to text him. I'm like dude, really like
I was gonna hit the push to talk but foot pedal.
I should have texted him, but I'm it's probably been
a hard contact because he was in the noise.

Speaker 3 (01:37:51):
For me, I barely could hear. Mhm, yeah he was definitely.
Propagation is what is right? Yep? Thing you do about it?
It is? Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't. I'm reading

(01:38:17):
the chat here. Interesting, So then how's going back up?
So the Canadians, So for you to use that software,
it's more expensive in Canada, everything's more. It's oh wow,
yeah that you not remember Daniel talking about all that. Yeah,
it's starting to come back now.

Speaker 1 (01:38:34):
Yeah, yes, pay four dollars, I have to pay twelve
kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (01:38:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:38:41):
I was reading where Eric in one j yours talking
about to suffer but doesn't make contact for you. But no, Eric,
but the Z model does, right.

Speaker 3 (01:38:51):
So it's almost like the FT eight world of just clicking.
I don't know the grounds.

Speaker 1 (01:39:02):
Oh we should do a mestastic activation at money center. Okay, well, Steve,
do we have that uh able to upload? That law?

Speaker 3 (01:39:12):
Not good thing?

Speaker 5 (01:39:13):
Make it hurts if it's in the hand band. The
whole thing about mestastic is its free band license free,
then why do they have a ham option to turn
your power up? Okay, so I don't know the legalities
of that.

Speaker 1 (01:39:33):
Maybe if you're so many mellow whites, you don't have
to have a license, but if you want to be
a half a decimal you have to have a license.

Speaker 3 (01:39:40):
Well, it could be one of those shared band segments,
shared band, like what is it four thirty four thirty three?

Speaker 4 (01:39:52):
Yeah, yeah, certain security systems operate on that frequency.

Speaker 3 (01:39:59):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (01:40:01):
But talking about frequencies, and I know it was mentioned
earlier in the chat beginning of the show about the
the four forty band going up for a possible auction
here or something. You know, here'sing they didn't leave the
window for comments open, But to me it looked like
that was an am SAT comment thing, and not directly

(01:40:21):
the FCC. It was just kind of like a petition
thing that the way I already closed it was the
twenty first last thing I seen, which is just a
I thought that was pretty short for an official comment.

Speaker 3 (01:40:34):
Yeah, I'm locked out there. Let me go check.

Speaker 1 (01:40:43):
Mike m Ak says, I believe you can use one
one or less on thirty three centimeters for is M
I figured the middle of wattage had something to do
with and all knowing Frank with his tenputers streams up
says the comment window on the FCC closed, but Hayden

(01:41:04):
made a video about it. They are trying to be
sneaky under the new administration, old Frank, is that speculation?
You know they're trying to be sneaky. Intersteller got an
email from Agarl this weekend. Hey, congratulations. I'm assuming it

(01:41:30):
was about what.

Speaker 3 (01:41:30):
We're talking about, though, Yeah, it's a little late.

Speaker 1 (01:41:37):
Uh grout shut. It is a fun game to do that,
so he said it might be a fun fun game
to see who can get the most different bands and
modes activations for Hostile Hemfest. So last year did two
meters and four forty on analog, and then we did

(01:41:57):
it digital. We've done one point two five meters. Yeah,
well I don't know that I've done six meters yet.

Speaker 3 (01:42:13):
I say we probably need you six and ten and
twelve and everything else. You could do them, You could
do them all.

Speaker 1 (01:42:20):
Yeah, I see seven thousand tortoise overlaying ass. What's y'all's opinion.
I want to tell you that's the first radio that
I fell in love with that I never had it.
Was that the mobile compact size one hundred watts and
it had a colored screen.

Speaker 3 (01:42:36):
Great rig.

Speaker 1 (01:42:37):
Yeah, my heart was set on that, but I've never
had it.

Speaker 3 (01:42:39):
What was there? What was their rugged looking one? Seven eighteen?

Speaker 2 (01:42:45):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:42:46):
You think in the eight and ninety seven the lunch box.
No Icon had this rugged looking one. And I don't
know why I want it. I found it too a
couple of weeks ago, and I meant to save it
in a and I thought it. I thought it began
with a seven over the ring picks and see came

(01:43:17):
out about ten years ago, maybe seventy seventy two hundred?
Is is that what I'm talking about? Litt got that nice,
rugged looking I think.

Speaker 1 (01:43:26):
That's what Jim got at Dayton this year, right, come
in the camerauflage Nope, oh that's seventeen sort.

Speaker 3 (01:43:37):
Of got that military look to it. Yeah, so that's
a yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:43:44):
Jim got a banging deal in a seventy two hundred
Dayton Mint conditioned like straight out the box. I didn't
even say the thing ever been used, and I had
the camera flog yep.

Speaker 3 (01:43:54):
Yes, And what happened? What happened to that? Did it? Not.
I don't know, like what happened to that? Did I was?
I was I asleep at the wheel on for this one.

Speaker 1 (01:44:04):
I believe that one's got a different operating style. It
operates more like your, uh, your old military radio.

Speaker 3 (01:44:10):
At twenty sixteen. It definitely an interesting looking radio. It
could be intimidating for a lot because of the key pad,
especially if there's a menu system out with that keypad.
Oh there's a menu system that they keep had, Yeah,

(01:44:32):
the keypad.

Speaker 1 (01:44:33):
I think the That's what I was saying is like
I had a Trends World military radio HF radio that
was a man.

Speaker 3 (01:44:40):
That thing was a taint.

Speaker 1 (01:44:42):
Like seriously, I shorted something out, made smoke and it
still worked. And I truly believe you could throw it
out the window seventy miles an hour and go back
and pick it up and it still work. I've never
seen a radio built like that one. But anyway, it
had the same layout kind of like the seventy two hundred.
I had the keypad, and like you didn't have a

(01:45:03):
seventy two hundred actually has a VFO now the Trends
World didn't. You actually had to use the keypad to
put your frequency in that you wanted to go.

Speaker 3 (01:45:12):
To Steve, bring up your screen from minute and go
back a few pictures, hang on which one do you want?
Break up your screen? But what I yes, So it's
it's not as easy get a seven thousand. So the
seven thousand came out and I know a couple of
guys who had a hard time with that, and I

(01:45:35):
had just got and I had just had I just
got my like that. Maybe I don't think I had
my seventy three hundred yet, but I was still running
the seven h six mark two G. I found it
fairly simple once you once you start playing with it,
you know, although again I back in the day, I
don't know. It was just the you know, it was
just the radio to have, you know, as far as

(01:45:57):
you know sensitivity and well and the.

Speaker 4 (01:46:01):
Nice thing is, you know it's all but it's an
all band, all mode. Yeah, one hundred lot in that
mobile package.

Speaker 3 (01:46:10):
But it doesn't have a waterfall. And once you once
you start playing with that waterfall. Yeah, but I swear
once you get once you start playing with a waterfall,
I think it becomes very addicting. I read that because
it does, Because I said I was never and for
the longest time I never used this is on the
seventy three hundred until I started meeting you guys. So

(01:46:32):
I started talking to you guys and and everything, and
then all and now I love it, man, I love that.

Speaker 1 (01:46:39):
Torda says. He asked because there's one for sale seven
thousand near him for seven hundred fifty dollars. I personally
feel like that's too steep, that's a little high. I
know we don't devalue our radios.

Speaker 3 (01:46:53):
Although we probably should, but.

Speaker 1 (01:46:57):
That radio has been prone to a lot of screen
issues and things not I guess two tear of the
screen probably being the most dramatic one. I probably would
the age of the seven four hundred is probably my
top on that. Maybe I'm way far.

Speaker 3 (01:47:15):
So what do you so, what do you say right
away after ten years? Fifty percent should be? It should be.

Speaker 1 (01:47:24):
When when you've got newer model radios that does the
same thing.

Speaker 3 (01:47:29):
Like right, you see where I'm going with this?

Speaker 1 (01:47:31):
This is this is an icon, okay, But eight ninety
one is same form factor, has all the bands and
still in current production, right I think?

Speaker 4 (01:47:44):
And uh, the eight ninety one is still currently in production.
It is just a little bit more than the price
he's being offered on that seven thousand. The eight ninety
one does not have two meter seventy centimeter Okay, way he.

Speaker 3 (01:48:00):
Got seven fifty. I'm just trying to think what I
paid for my eight ninety one. They range between six
fifty and eight. Yeah, because I paid I was under seven.
And I don't know if that was a Christmas time
special I think, and I mean that comes with a warranty,

(01:48:21):
So if that means anything to you.

Speaker 1 (01:48:24):
And that's that's It's one of those things about radios.
It's close to you. How much do you really want
that radio? And how good looking does it look?

Speaker 3 (01:48:34):
As well as the right as well as that previous owner.
Has it been dropped out of an airplane? Has it
fallen off the tailgate of a truck? You know all
those factors.

Speaker 1 (01:48:50):
Us I don't know that. That's one of the things
where if you'd hit me up with that for that
radio ten years ago, oh probably a long yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:49:06):
And it's funny because when people ask me, you know,
what should I buy, that's such a hard question.

Speaker 4 (01:49:13):
Standard answer it depends, yeah, yeah, yeah, And I just
finished up a class last or this past Saturday, and
I probably spent two hours or better talking about different radios.

Speaker 3 (01:49:27):
YEP. Sunday we were Sunday, we were in the PoTA
Parks and and and this kid came up to me.
He's in his uh late twenties, I think, and he's
you know, he just got his tech license. He's gonna
be going for his general soon. And good he says.
And you know, he's like, you know, what should I
do for digital modes? I explained to him. You know,

(01:49:49):
he lives here in Connecticut. I said, well, we got
two great networks. You know, both are a little bit different,
I said, and they said. Then he started ask me
about HF. So he saw my setup. I so you
got to remember I built this this go box. I
pull it out of the Go Box five. I mean,
and this is not my first go box, I said,

(01:50:09):
So you have to understand, you know, what are you
looking for? You? He looks for some bigger, something smaller
that gives you everything in it, I said, And then
it just comes into what can you afford? You know?
And I wanted to tell him about the G ninety mm,
but then all of a sudden, he saw my lights,
he saw my antenna, and then all of a sudden,

(01:50:30):
it went down a whole different you know, a rabbit hole.
So oh yeah, but it's I think it's nice. I
think in today's where we are in the hobby in
twenty twenty five, there's so much you can do. I
just feel some people watch and get sucked in by

(01:50:51):
marketing too much and they forget what's what's being used
in your immediate neighborhood, you know, in your immediate county
or whatever. What do you and that?

Speaker 4 (01:51:00):
Yeah, that was you know, when we were talking vhf UHL,
A couple of guys were asking about digital radios.

Speaker 3 (01:51:08):
And what we have in my area.

Speaker 4 (01:51:12):
We have one d Star repeater that's connected to the internet,
but it's got ears on it. It's up at about
eight hundred feet. Yeah, so it it's got to reach right.
And then I've probably got four or five DMR repeaters
that I know of, and they're they're good, you know,

(01:51:37):
they're well maintained. But if we have a natural disaster,
they get locked down to state wide only, right, which.

Speaker 3 (01:51:51):
Well, what's I agree with that? Well, what's do you
what is the intended use for those for that mode,
either before the incident and immediately after it is it
to support to.

Speaker 4 (01:52:08):
Support the incident. But if if you have that connection
to the outside world, why shut it off? You know
it's they're microwave linked between repeaters. So if we can
get support from a neighboring state, why would we cut
them off?

Speaker 3 (01:52:30):
Well, first you have to ask what does your partner
agency want. One of the things that I've always seen
is is we want to do this, and we're going
to do this for you. No, no, no, no, And
and too many people don't listen to to the partnered agency.
And I have eleven agencies within a stone's throw in

(01:52:50):
my house, right right, Well again in your exception, you
know what's going on. There's a lot of police, right,
but there's a lot of but there's a lot of
people who want to come in and start selling things
to the partner agency that they really maybe don't need
or it's a quadruple to a four time redundancy, and

(01:53:10):
I don't know if that's what they really need.

Speaker 4 (01:53:13):
Well, and that goes into you know where I was
teaching the class, why does NEOC need a icon ninety
seven hundred at a flex sixty four M.

Speaker 3 (01:53:29):
Because you're not gonna be ragged, You're not you're not
gonna be ragged to in chasing sugar sugar five to
one d X, Well, you're not gonna be chasing satellites either.
You're not gonna be chasing satellites either. Exactly. Yeah, put
one hundred watts on VHF. Okay, now we're talking. I
rather see you put put three to five hundred watch
maybe on VHF.

Speaker 4 (01:53:50):
But you know, both those radios are mounted or in
a secure space out by their tower, so they have
to remote into them, right, and if the networks down,
how are you.

Speaker 3 (01:54:03):
Gonna get into those radios? So just my thought, my
philosophy on those well, you get the cool toys so
you can do cool things in times of not disaster,
and then you know, right, use it for field day
and winterfield day. Right.

Speaker 4 (01:54:23):
I don't know that they actually use that location for
field day. Oh and you know if it's my tax
dollars paying for it, I just yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:54:39):
Well they pay taxes too.

Speaker 1 (01:54:41):
They can't have a little fun, right, I'm your attacking.

Speaker 3 (01:54:47):
Me get you on that one. Yeah, and your your
taxes could be purchasing the talk pod and I detash.

Speaker 1 (01:54:53):
I mean it was always my favorite thing back in
the days when I was on patrol, when I stopped
the gas station, somebody come in and say, boy, look
my tax dollars out there burning gas because I leave
the car on air running. And I'm like, no, no, sir,
no sir, that's my tax dollars. And it's cool for
me to come back for when I use your tax

(01:55:13):
dollars to go the troll and answer your call.

Speaker 4 (01:55:18):
And I can agree with you on that one, Joe.
I'm totally with you there because I would rather you
leave that car running so it's ready for you if
you need.

Speaker 1 (01:55:27):
It right instead of going out there and radios and
everything running their battery down. Ye, well I can't go.
I'm right down the road, but I can't go. Well.

Speaker 4 (01:55:36):
And one of my local departments here, they actually have
to back in whenever they park, even if they're off duty.
They have to back their car in because so many
accidents happen backing out when they're in a rush.

Speaker 1 (01:55:52):
You know, And that brings me to and just for sakes,
I'm not arguing with you. I'm just punching the good
like I like to do. But I always wondered, you know,
you get the utility companies that put the orange cones
all around their vehicle when they part, and I'm like,
why did they do that?

Speaker 3 (01:56:11):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:56:12):
And so I talked to one of them, what do
you do? You ask and you learn things. Sometimes I'm like, well,
why don't y'all get out and put the cold like
nobody's gonna take your parking place. You're already in it, right,
And they're like, no, it's company policy. We have to
go all the way around the vehicle before we can
move it and check our surroundings. So the cones make

(01:56:34):
us go around it when we part, and when we
pick them up and put them back in the little holder,
I'm like, that's very responsible. I like that. I thought
it was goofy before that, but that's a very responsible thing.

Speaker 3 (01:56:48):
And it could be an insurance requirement too, could be oh,
I'm sure the insurance and that you know mitigation. Mitigation.

Speaker 4 (01:56:55):
Well, they have to put it, you know, when they're
parked at the local barbecue joint. But it's because they're
supposed to put them out whenever they're parked on the
side of the road. Do what they've taken at that
step for you know, a step further and anytime they
park because if somebody hits them when they're parked on

(01:57:16):
the side of the road and they didn't have that
cone out.

Speaker 1 (01:57:20):
And not like not having the wet floor sign up.

Speaker 4 (01:57:23):
Yeah, And if you look up Berkeley County, South Carolina,
there is a recent story of a dui arrest that
ended up as two dui arrest because the second one
slammed into the patrol car. Oh with all the lights
going now, all the lights going on the petrol cars

(01:57:45):
and they slam into it.

Speaker 3 (01:57:47):
D UI. Yep, yep.

Speaker 1 (01:57:51):
They had red and blue, didn't they?

Speaker 3 (01:57:53):
Nope, just blues. They don't run reds here. Oh, fire
runs red. We have good hang on this.

Speaker 1 (01:58:06):
Uh. You know there was a study done and when
you see some agencies use red and blue, you see
some that use all blue. Well, the all blue come
about this study where and pair of drivers were attracted
like flies to the light, to the red light. They

(01:58:28):
found that cars running all blue got rear ended less
times than the ones running red.

Speaker 3 (01:58:33):
Inbut I think think they run all blues or blue
and whites. Here a white light. So one of the
major stroke companies has always and I've seen the studies
I've seen there that the white light penetrates better at
night and the blues here cut. Yeah, but they can

(01:59:00):
also blind you too. Oh yeah, they do, absolutely, they do, right.
So that's but that's not what you want. You want
to be an attention getter, not a come to the
light and touch you on.

Speaker 1 (01:59:10):
I had a truck driver one night come up to
me in the gas station and asked me and said, man,
when y'all stop a car on the interstate, once you
get stopped, can you cut the lights off?

Speaker 3 (01:59:22):
And I'm like what.

Speaker 1 (01:59:27):
He's like, once you get them stopped or stopped, you know,
but you got the lights on and us truck drivers, man,
we can't see nothing, dude. And I'm like, all right,
well that's the problem with and this is where I
inspired to be what to call an outfitter or upfitter.
Were you install these things? Because what I found in

(01:59:47):
my old trow cars and why I started doing my
own installations and wiring was they never hooked up all
the options. So that's the controller come with the last
three that I done, all the controllers had the Deman function. Cool, right,
you put it. You could either have it, but it's programmed.

(02:00:09):
You do your programming as well as as well as
when you when you put it in park, it'll automatically
drop for you. You don't even have the newer controllers.
The newer ones you can hook to the part along
with the siren cut off and stuff, and people don't
do that. You know, how many videos can you watch
on YouTube of a pursuit and when they all get out,

(02:00:30):
they're all yelling and nobody can hear nothing litt alone
the poor suspect. And I don't say poor suspect very often,
but shave off the f and siren. All the sirens
are pointed toward him and you're yelling at him. So
that was that was one. As soon as I would
pull up, I go to everybody's cars are cutting off
freaking sirens, you know. And I wasn't sitting there bad

(02:00:54):
mouthing the officers that jumped out of the car and
left it on. I'm bad mouthing the guy that installed
his crap that didn't hook up that one. A little
wire that would make that cut off AutoMac just like
the demon switch.

Speaker 3 (02:01:05):
Well, hobble the speakers and the grill and then it
would be backfeeding when the officer or the fireman was
next that they had the radio. Yeah, that speaker had
to be in the grill to but then.

Speaker 1 (02:01:20):
I used to have a phone with that because this patch,
you knows the clicks and the feedback.

Speaker 4 (02:01:29):
Well, the Charleston p D their motor officers, if they
drop their bike, the entire bike goes white.

Speaker 3 (02:01:39):
Oh wow.

Speaker 4 (02:01:41):
And that's I think there's like a mercury switch or
something in that controller, right, so that A they can
be seen and b they can see where they need
to put their foot to pick up the bike.

Speaker 1 (02:01:53):
Mhm, that's cool. I'm going to share one more little
tidbit watch on my mind. Probably my favorite traffic stop
of all time back in the day. I'm sitting on
this little county road, got this person stop flew through
a full way stuff, you know, horrible crime. And I'm
sitting there checking with them, and I could tell they

(02:02:16):
a little nervous or whatever. And you ever watched movie
Super Troopers. That was like my personal training video. But uh,
you know, sometimes the universe just time and brings things
together that you have to take opportunity to take full
advantage of. Right starwork to co I'm here, I'm here,

(02:02:37):
I'm hearing this chopper and I look up and it's
an Apache. They're doing training flights. And when they do
training flights over our place, a lot of times they'll
you know, do circles and figure eates and this and that. Well,
this particular pilot, I've had a good idea who it was.
And I knew who it was when he started circling

(02:02:57):
because he was the son of one of the highway
trolling that we knew. And uh So, anyway, when he
would see us some traffic stops if he was doing
training flights, he would circle the traffic stops. So I'm looking.
I noticed the driver look up, and I'm like, how
you like our new air unit man, and he's like

(02:03:17):
a little word broke down right freaking kidding me. And
I'm like, oh dude, Like he's gonna stay circling until
I cut my lights off and you start moving again,
and he's gonna watch it.

Speaker 3 (02:03:28):
And he.

Speaker 1 (02:03:30):
Just sit there. That guy was freaked out. Oh man,
that was that was fun times, good stuff. Yeah, just
you had to take an opportunity.

Speaker 3 (02:03:39):
Yeah wow. All right, Selan, it's been two hours.

Speaker 1 (02:03:45):
In four minutes and forty yep, we got.

Speaker 3 (02:03:49):
Anything else we want to talk about to night man.
I guess chat's been super cool, like I always Chat's
been great. Appreciate y'all showing up for us again. Have
the three of you left out there weekly mental break
here tip so yeah, we could pull the plug all right. Everyone,

(02:04:11):
