Welcome, welcome, welcome to the okayest show on the internet, the hometown Hot Rudder Podcast. Episode 293,004.3. It's not what it shows on Spotify. You know what sucks is that I need to add the rest of our episodes back.

SPEAKER_00

I wish there was a way that AI could just go, yeah, totally. Bloop. Because you know, you know what I did the other day, okay? So fucking cool. So Becca sent me a uh a big ass list of dates and things that were going on. And I went, hmm, I wonder if this AI shit, you know, oh you old fucks that don't like AI. But anyway, I'm like, I literally highlighted everything she did. And that's enough. We'll get back to highlighted too. But I highlighted it all, put it in chat GPT, and I said, Can you put this in my Google Calendar? And it said, Yes, I can. And it made it and made me a little link. I clicked it, it went into my Google Calendar and scattered. No shit. Yeah, 100%. You wanted to say highlight, didn't you? Yeah, because that's what that's what I'm saying. How how like like, hey, what'd you do? Oh, I went over there and litted the fire. I I know. I lighted the fire. I lighted it. I get it's a highlighter, but once you've done something, isn't it highlighted? No, I think it's highlighted. That's fucking retarded. I I I mean, seriously. I I don't know. That's like tomb and tom. I didn't write the English language, sir. I'd just speak it. How fucked up is that? The whole the whole fucking English language is kind of fucked up. It's just at people's convenience. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, like seriously, like like back in the day, all of a sudden they're like, oh, what's that? And they're like a fucking banana. Yeah. What color's the banana? That's just fucking yellow. And then they're like, oh, look at that apple. What color's that apple? Yeah, what if apples would have been green? Yeah. And then all of a sudden they are sometimes. Then all of a sudden they come around to the fucking last one and they're like, what's that one? Well, it's orange. What color is it? Orange. You're fucking kidding me, right? I mean, seriously.

SPEAKER_01

You're right.

SPEAKER_00

You're right. There's nothing yellow about banana. So you yeah. I'm just saying. Yeah, so it's a yellow. And all of a sudden they're like, orange. What you eat in there? A red. What's that purple? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. But is that the favorite one? Or is green your favorite one? I don't know. I think I like green better than purple. Yeah. Grapes. Are we talking about grapes? Sure. Okay. Because eggplants are also purple. See where see where your theory gets fucked up?

SPEAKER_00

You see what I'm saying? Too many things are the same color. But why does it have to be strawberries are also red? So are cherries. Then I stop and I think about it. Maybe they just got to it and they're like, okay, so look, look, you see that thing? What are you calling that? Oh, I'm calling it a lemon. See that thing, right? And they're like, yeah, what's that? It's a banana. They're both yellow. We can't call them yellow. So and then all of a sudden they're like, that thing. So what else matches it? So here's my question.

SPEAKER_01

Should we Google how fruits got their name before somebody listens to this and goes, just so you know. Well, that's because they're gonna Google it. Fruits got their name from the first person that picked it. So old Bobby Banana was the first one to pick a yellow. And this motherfucker jumped up and said, orange.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Sorry, I didn't I don't know why you ended up being black.

SPEAKER_01

Why you had to be black? Fucking love it. Yeah. What's that? It's an apple. Why is it an apple? Because Billy Apple fucking found it. Yeah. Billy. Billy. How'd you like for your last name to be fucking Eggplant? That ninja. That ninja Billy Apple. How'd you like for that poor bastard named Eggplant?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, but I'm still confused on this motherfucker Orange.

SPEAKER_01

Why is that called an eggplant? Because oh Richard Eggplant found it.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Oh fucking dick. Yeah, all of a sudden they get around, they're like, why did Orange get to do it? Well, he got his crayon, too. Yeah, that was his name. He got a color and he got fucking fruit.

SPEAKER_01

That was that was his master's name.

SPEAKER_00

That was his master. Oh, blue gum. Oh, fuck. That's blueberries. Oh, yeah. That's what I said. When you eat too many. Oh man.

SPEAKER_01

Like your lip your lip gets blue. Man, dude. That's some cool news. And this is thank you to everybody out there that listens to this stupid shit. Yeah. Merchandise.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Uh, I got the recap for the month of May uh for online sales. Yeah. It's up 279% over April. What? Yeah. No kidding. You need to pump out some funny ones. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Um up 279% over the month of April. Hell yeah. So thank y'all. For real. It's not quite enough yet, but it's trying.

SPEAKER_00

I'm thinking that maybe we can target the I know we're hot rod and all that, but maybe we can target. No, probably not. I was sitting there thinking, if we did something that looked like maybe an overseas type car, yeah. And then had like the rising star or rising sun, you know, the j Japanese deal. Yeah. And then the mushroom cloud in the middle. You think they'd buy it? I don't know. Somebody probably would. I mean, there'd be a lot of people buy that. Somebody might buy it. I mean they'd all be old. Or they wouldn't get it. Yeah. And all of a sudden they're walking around, they're like, really? Just don't go to Japan. Duck. Duck. It just says duck. Just says duck. What is it? What's his name?

SPEAKER_01

Long duck dong. Yeah, long duck dong. Um, so I did learn something about our merchandise. Okay. Pre-war pile-up. Okay. So I'll just recap the show real quick. Yeah. And then I'll talk about that. Gotcha. So Friday, this past Friday, uh, I left here at three. Yeah. Because Chase Reigns was playing the pre-party. Right. And Decatur's two and a half hours from here in a normal vehicle. Right. While I was in Dewey. Right. So I left at three. He played at seven. So I wanted to go to the hotel first. Right. Right. And then go that way, right? So uh it was awesome. I mean, I we stayed every almost everybody with the show stayed at the Fairfield by Marriott and Decatur. It was cool. Nice room. Uh Dewey burned 28 gallons of gas. Wow. There and back. Wow. Um, I mathed it up. That's 7.76 miles per gallon.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Uh I look in the math I grew up in, that's eight. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

It depends on if you switch the tanks, though.

SPEAKER_01

Of course. Because it starts mathing a little different. It burnt all of a tank. Oh, okay. And then it burnt five eighths of another tank. So it was very clearly mathed.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah, you got it.

SPEAKER_01

Um so Saturday chase the pre-party was cool. Yeah. Chasing the band did great. Uh it took a minute to get the sound right. Okay. Um it was weird. I don't know if you saw the live video. I did not. So it was on the the back of this called the county seat. This dude named Brendan owns it, and he's a cool motherfucker dude. Hell yeah. Um the county seat's like a speakeasy. Okay. For the most part. No food. Okay. Alcohol only. Right. I mean, they got sodas and shit, but it's a bar.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

No food. It's a speakeasy. And then out back, there's a sitting area, patio. Okay. Right outside the covered patio parts is concrete pad, and that's where the band was set up.

SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Facing back at the metal canopy thing, metal awning. Okay. So and it was full band. Electric. Oh. So Chandler guitar and the bass and the drums were loud as fuck up under that metal. Right. You couldn't hear Chase.

SPEAKER_00

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_01

Right? No matter what. I just kept telling him, like, hey man, can't hear you. Hey, can't hear you. And yeah, he's getting frustrated with me. Yeah. Because we argue about sound all the time. Right, right. Because to me, you're the one that people want to hear. Well. People want to hear Chase. Right? It's part of this band, right? Yes. Oh, okay. So uh they sounded great. Right. But in like if you went out to the PA that was facing the car show lot area, you could hear Chase. It was just because of that metal roof. Gotcha. Right? Yeah. So everything was loud as fuck. But he wasn't. Well, finally, they took a break. When they took a break, I went over and I said, listen, man, I know you hate it when I sit here and nitpick it, but I'm telling you, can't hear you. Yeah. And nobody else can hear you either. It ain't just me. So we start figuring out and he added another PA. Yeah. And all was fixed. Cool. Sounded great for the rest of the night. Yeah, yeah. Three hours, it sounded fantastic. Right. So it was fun. I didn't get to MC a lot because it was a really small area.

unknown

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01

And I didn't have a wireless mic. So going over and taking over his mic or taking over Chandler's mic, it just didn't feel right. Yeah, and he's he needs to come record with us. Yeah, he does. But it just didn't sound right. Yeah. So I just didn't do a lot of MC in that night. Anyway, got back to the hotel at like eleven.

SPEAKER_02

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01

And then I went outside to smoke a cigarette about the same time that Chuck was pulling up from the county seat. Gotcha. And uh we ended up walking the parking lot looking at all the fucking cool ass cars that were gonna be at pre-war the next day. Fuck yeah. Um and Chuck and Robbie did a fucking phenomenal job of putting that show on. Fuck yeah. Um yeah, I wish I could have gone.

SPEAKER_00

That we that's cool, but didn't really fit the crowd.

SPEAKER_00

Does that make sense? Yeah, no, 100%. Like I'm trying to come up with one that's like bacon eggs and hot rods. So two things.

SPEAKER_01

I'd buy that. We're almost at a point for uh where I can start putting designs on rodnestyle.com. Yeah. Um that'll make a difference. Yeah. But also I could start leaning the hometown hot rodder stuff to some more hot rod stuff. Yeah. Um, mixed in with the rest of our stuff.

SPEAKER_01

The microphone. Oh, those microphones don't. If we go to the ones that we used to have, they have an 8 gig internal hard drive and you can just hit record. Hmm. Hmm. But anyway.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I was like, huh, that's weird. Checked battery cables, they were tight. Drove it home last night. Got in it this morning.

SPEAKER_00

Mm-mm. No.

SPEAKER_01

No starty.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I think I think that battery's done. No starty. Dude, I hate it, dude. Batteries are not what they used to be. No. Bro. Absolutely not. Like all of a sudden they're like, oh yeah, you can give five years. Bullshit. You get maybe two if you're lucky. 100%. Dude, it's fucking kills me. Dude, and that's the funny part, is like Kelly's 2019 uh Camry. Yep. Fucking all of a sudden she's like, hey, it's not starting outside. And she was it was like Friday. Yeah. I'm like, shit. Yeah, let me go ahead and change your battery. Dude, this was right before we got rid of it last year. Yep. No. No, this year. Yeah, y'all just got rid of it. Yeah, we just got rid of it. Bro, I I changed it probably in December. It was the it was the OEM fucking battery. And I'm like, your 2019 fucking car made it that far. I said we should take this to the Smithsonian. No shit. Bro. Because they don't last that. They don't last that.

SPEAKER_01

So um I just let it sit out here most of the day today. Yeah. I'd look outside and I'd be like, eh, fuck. Because I can see it from my desk. Yeah. Like, ah fuck. I don't want to go get a battery for it.

SPEAKER_00

No.

SPEAKER_01

I'm like, you know what? I'm not gonna. I'm gonna jump it off.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I'll take it over to storage. I'm gonna grab the Thunderbird. Mm-mm. Wouldn't start. Nope. Fucking heat. Dude. Uh but come to find out coming home from Kellars the other night. Yeah. Uh it was discharging the battery at night with the headlights on. Uh-huh. You could watch the gauge and it was fluck, it was fluttering, and then it would go to discharge. And so we'd already put alternator on it. Right. This motherfucker probably needs a voltage regulator. But check this out. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. So no starty. Yeah. So jump it off. Yes. Bring it, take it all the way down to the dollar store, got me some snacks. Right. No starty at the dollar store. Okay. Jumped it off, brought it here. Yes. Killed it. No starty. I'm like, all right, that bitch is dead. Yeah. So I was like, well, I'm gonna order a voltage regulator for it. Um pretty sure that's what's wrong. Yeah. Order a voltage regulator, and uh we'll jump it off and let it charge itself up or put it on the charger if we have to, right?

SPEAKER_00

Right.

SPEAKER_01

Voltage regulator gets here, put it on.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Car starts. Wait, hold on.

SPEAKER_01

I was like, started it, let it run, killed it, started it, let it run, killed it, started it, killed it, came back inside.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Went back out there ten minutes later.

SPEAKER_00

Mm-mm-mm.

SPEAKER_01

No. Wouldn't start. So we put probe on it. Yeah. And it showed 12 point whatever volts, but as soon as you hit the key, it dropped to minus. It was grounding out. Oh wow. So battery is brand new, so I warranted battery. Seems fine right now, but that could be because it's got a new battery.

SPEAKER_00

We don't know if it's fixed or not. No, we could walk out there and mm-mm.

SPEAKER_01

New voltage regulator, new alternator, new battery. It's probably all right. All the cables are tight, battery cables are tight, starter cable's tight. There's not much else it could be.

SPEAKER_00

Your your battery disconnect connect tight? I'll have one of those. Oh. Well. I'll have one of those. Not yet. Stick it out of the fucking side of the fender. Just another switch. Yeah, just another switch.

SPEAKER_01

All I want to do is start making this car cool. You are. And it keeps fucking with me.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, you are. You're trying to keep it running. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Or charge. It just keeps fucking with me.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. I just want to make you cool. Stop. I knew I knew a 55 that used to do that too. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I want to fix the exhaust leak and then I want to start making it cool. Yeah. I gotta buy a $300 fucking spring compressor for the front.

SPEAKER_00

Oof.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. It takes a special kind to get the springs out of those cars. Oh. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Like it goes from the inside, not the outside.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it's an inside type. Yeah. But you gotta use these fucking biscuit looking things instead of the forks because there's not enough room for the fingers. Right. So you gotta use these plates.

SPEAKER_00

That slide in between. And they have the groove in them for the spring.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Yeah. I haven't seen those in a while, but $300. Damn. Whatever. Yeah. It's gonna look bitching when it's lowered. I I'm also not rushing it because I think the tires are too tall anyway. Yeah. So I'm just trying to wait until I can afford to buy tires too. Cause that's I'm paying for that shit.

SPEAKER_00

Your blocks show up?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I got the blocks. Hell yeah. Yeah, I got the blocks. Three inch. Three? That bitch would be low. It is. And then I take a coil out of the front, maybe a coil and a half. Put that biz itch on the ground. It'll be cool. Yeah. It'll be cool.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I'm looking at it. I try to design your car too.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. It's pretty easy to customize.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, and you know what's really funny is like all of a sudden I'm like, yeah, what about the 53? So I threw it on there. And it's pretty simple to customize too. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Greenville, Texas, 903 455 71715. That's a real Greenville number. Be right back. Woo! And we're back. Yeah, it was weird. Yeah, that was really weird. Our electric company just told us that they're doing inspections on equipment. Oh, that's cool. Like your wires? I I g I I don't know. Meters, maybe? Oh. Transformers? I don't fucking know. Man, that's no expected outages. Hmm. I was like, is the fucking bill due already?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

But no, it's not.

SPEAKER_00

You're like, that's a real Greenville number.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah. I was like, oh shit, that's a real Greenville number. Yeah. I had done paid my light bill.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Wait a minute.

SPEAKER_01

And I'm pretty sure I had paid my internet bill.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So anyhow.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, well.

SPEAKER_01

So talk to me, home dog.

SPEAKER_00

What about?

SPEAKER_01

What's up with the 39? I don't know, dude. What's up with the that's a bit that's a big ass fucking landslide. So when we talked about it last week with Les here, yeah. I had just given it to you. Yes. So it was still kind of boiling in your brain.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, no, it's been a fucking it's been a literal like fucking cluster fuck in my head.

SPEAKER_01

But you've been designing it for seven days.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, but that's the funny part. No matter how I design it, it keeps coming out the same. Except for that one that I just showed you where I kind of kept the same look. Yeah. In the end, it all ends up the same. It ends up flat white with fucking gloss red interior, everything. Yeah. Like it keeps ending up like that. Yeah. Yeah. And I think that's how you should be. Yeah. No, no fucking roof.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, no roof. So you have 100% decided to go roadster. Oh, yeah. 100%. So fucking cool. Hey, I thought Kelly might be like, oh man. You know what I mean? Like what'd he say? I thought it would be like, hey, he's gonna make it a roadster. I I was I was actually worried about this. Fucking excited. He goes, that's gonna be so fucking are you kidding me? I swear to God.

unknown

Fuck, dude.

SPEAKER_01

You know what's funny? He goes, There's still gonna be a lot of fab work we have to do. He goes, but that's gonna be fucking cool.

SPEAKER_00

But the other thing too is for the week, I've been worried about that. Yeah, no, he's in. Because I don't know how to find him. I told you on Instagram. Yeah, but you guys told me his his somebody else's name and that's on Facebook.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, okay. Oh Kelly King 1929.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, I didn't realize he was actually on because oh, okay. Yeah, he's on Instagram. Gotcha. You go through his wife for Facebook. Oh, okay. I thought you meant Instagram too. No, no, no. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Kelly King 1929.

SPEAKER_00

Because I was literally typing in, trying to type in her name in there.

SPEAKER_01

Kelly's a bad motherfucker.

SPEAKER_00

Bro, that dude's cool as shit.

SPEAKER_01

Um, but no, he's fired up.

SPEAKER_00

Dude.

SPEAKER_01

He was like, so we got there's still a bunch of fab work to do, but that's gonna be fucking cool. Um he's fired up.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, so and then and then I'm on I'm I'm kind of like, I don't know. Like the whole interior thing, I want to keep it original and all that, but at the same time, because it's a roadster, what if it rains? So then I was like, so do I do a fiberglass dash? I mean you could, but I think it'll take away from the car. Yeah, I've got so many, and the other thing too is like the suspension and shit. I'm not fucking changing it. Like I might drop it, you know, like do the drop on it and all that shit, but I think that I don't know. Cause what would you say? The suspension kind of gives you the whole 60s vibe.

SPEAKER_01

It's a very, it's a very early to early mid-70s street machine.

SPEAKER_00

Is that what it okay maybe 60s, okay?

SPEAKER_01

But it's very 70s in my opinion.

SPEAKER_00

See, like in my eyes, the way I the the way my brain's trying to wrap around it, like everybody, I know what everybody wants to say. You put an LS in it, you know, that kind of shit. But my brain wraps around grandpa gave fucking his son a fucking car, yeah, and then he didn't want to do fucking shit with it. Yeah. So then his son takes over it in the fucking 70s, yeah. And it's like, I'm gonna do everything I can now. But like, I don't want to do like all the fucking new shit.

SPEAKER_01

Like, I talked to the guy that built the car.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And he built it to street race in mesquite and pleasant grove and shit.

SPEAKER_00

Does it have a rear end?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

It's got a tin bolt in it. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. It's got a set, it's got a pair of fucking Fenton slot mags on the back of it that are probably worth a pretty good chunk of money.

SPEAKER_00

Really? Mm-hmm. Hmm. Well, I don't need that. No, but you can sell them. I need I need uh some steelys. Yeah, I'm gonna do steely's first and all that. Later on, if it ends up being like a full build, I'm gonna do like cross-laced, not not heavy wires. Right. But cross-laced fucking thick wires. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then fucking do the do the red fucking colors of the interior.

SPEAKER_01

Bone stock powertrain drive?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, no, it's gonna be a fucking cruiser. Fuck yeah. Yeah, I'm not I'm not trying to fucking be hot rod. I mean, the whole thing is is I mean, let's cut to the chase. It could be it's a heavy ass car. No. You could no? No. No? That's carrying away shit. Okay. Well, then it's not a heavy car, okay? A stock three a stock fucking small block and uh and an automatic, it's got more power than that fucking super we've got. So I'm good.

SPEAKER_01

Well, and two, it's not that kind of car. No, it's not, but also it probably had 90 horsepower new.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, no, it's it's gonna just get because I'm not gonna have like I'm not gonna like pop a fucking hood on it. Yes, you know, that's that kind of car. So and then that's what leads me to that. So then my design goes, so do I the the the fucking vents on the side? On the hood? Yeah, yeah, on the hood portion. So my brain goes to fucking weld them like closed, where it's where it's smooth, but have somebody come in and do louvers in in placement.

SPEAKER_01

So what I wanted to do was dimple dye them like little bullet-shaped portals all the way down it, not like Buick portals.

SPEAKER_00

I but I know I know what you mean.

SPEAKER_01

But the teardrop style.

SPEAKER_00

Like what was that? The straight eight cars had something.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, the Buick's Buick's always had portals. Yeah. I wanted to do something like a dimple-dyed portal, but not Buick. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know if that makes sense or not. Yeah, but those fucking those vent things on the fucking fenders. Oh, they're horrible. Those they look like air vents that drive. They do. They look like those. 100% they do. Like, like if I was going it like literally, if I went to the fucking typical rat rod type people, I'd fucking cut those out and actually put those on.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, with the fucking open closer.

SPEAKER_00

Oh yeah. Yeah. That's how you got your your your talk more brakes at the racetrack. Yeah, right. Downforce motherfucker. Downforce, bitch. Yeah, no, it's just gonna be bare bones, fucking powertrain. Like nothing uh A to B. Yeah. A to B. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I I'm excited for you to do it. I think it's pretty cool, man.

SPEAKER_00

I just wanna I just want to get it eventually to where it's not I'm just going down the street or something like that. I want to be able to fucking eventually jump in that motherfucker and take it somewhere. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. And not worry about it.

SPEAKER_01

There's nothing cooler than driving to some of these events further away.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. You know what I mean? And that's my thing. Fucking uh drive your shit. So this weekend we have off.

SPEAKER_01

Um Friday night, I'm supposed to go to this thing. I just don't know that I'm gonna go. Um car thing? Ish. Ish. I've been to one already.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, yeah, okay. I just I don't know. Same one? Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

It's not really my scene. I don't know. Whatever. Andy's going.

SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

So did you say Long Island? Yeah, no, I did not. No. So yeah, we're we're off this weekend. Yeah. As far as boothing and merchandising and MC and nothing like that. No. But I may pop up somewhere at a show near here. Yes. Maybe I might do it both days. Yeah. Saturday and Sunday. I might pop up unannounced, un uh promoted, unmarketed. Right. Show up. Yeah. Be a car guy for the weekend. Um because it's hard, man. People don't realize it, but like, that's also my downtime.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

You know, like not right. So it's tough whenever I'm always working these things. Yeah. Sometimes I just want to go be a car guy. And if I've got a weekend off and I'm not booked somewhere, well then cool, I can just pop up somewhere.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. No, but that's always a good one. Tell a few homies.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. You know, so I'm not there by myself. That's always good.

SPEAKER_00

And you show up and they're like, hey Brian, can you go in my room?

SPEAKER_01

Nope. None of that. Not this weekend. And I got no voice. And the reason I'm not is because next weekend, Tomato Fest, Jacksonville, Texas. Tomato Fest. It's an all-weekend deal. There's hundreds of vendors. Wow. The car show's big, a couple hundred cars. Wow. We are setting the booth up at that one. I am MC in that one. Yeah, Tomato Fest got all kinds of shit. They got a tomato peeling contest where you peel them with your teeth. I don't know. That's some dirty shit. Something about the biggest tomato? God. You know it's bad. Why they didn't just call them reds?

SPEAKER_00

I fucking hate tomatoes. Red fruit with a passion.

SPEAKER_01

Red vegetable.

SPEAKER_00

There ain't no passion with a fucking.

SPEAKER_01

So you know you're not gonna enter the peeling contest?

SPEAKER_00

Fuck no.

SPEAKER_01

Really? Really? Oh. Yeah, it's called tomato fest. So like I have to. It is a wood hot rods doing the car show part.

SPEAKER_00

Like people have witnessed it too. Like it's it's a really odd thing. You can literally hand me something. It's got tomatoes in it. I can't see it. Can't see it whatsoever. And it's literally, I take a bite, maybe not even chew into it, swallow it, and then all of a sudden, it's already in my throat getting swallowed, and then like, what the fuck? Oh, there's tomatoes. I do. Stand by. We'll be right back.

SPEAKER_01

Why is there a black guy in here? He had heard about us naming fruit a while ago. Orange. All right, listen. So come on, orange. All right, so it come on. We're always back. Uh it's Wednesday. It is Wednesday. It's Wednesday, and not everybody sees because ZuckerTurd's algorithm is horrible on social media. Bro. You don't always see posts from everybody. No. So I posted last week of New Flyer. Yeah. Because the hometown hangout has now been renamed to the Rodden Style Cruise Inn. Right. Uh it's no longer every Wednesday. No. Uh we already went through all that last week. It's no longer every Wednesday. It's now going to be second Friday. Except for this next. Except for this month. Dumbass. Starting next month. I fucked up. I don't know. We maybe still have it. I'll talk to Les tomorrow.

And now I don't I mean, I could just cancel the hotel and leave early. Yeah. No. Fuck that. Have to be in Jacksonville at I guess like seven thirty or eight. Yeah, you're out of your motherfucking mind. Have to leave at five thirty or six in Dewey with Brooke and Spencer. Ooh. Yeah. Like that whole thing was like Texas. That shit was cool as fuck until you told me that. Jacksonville, Texas. It's only two hours away. Oh, Florida? Yeah, it's only it's only a two hour trip. So I'm just like it's down by Tyler, like south of Tyler.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

South of Athens and all that shit.

SPEAKER_00

Right.

SPEAKER_01

Um so anyway, uh, but I'd posted it, Fred is it. And Fred follows us. Yeah. Algorithms, man. Algorithms. Yeah, it's real crazy. If I'd have written that shit in some kind of fucking other hieroglyphics? Yeah, that. There you go. Yeah. Something else.

SPEAKER_00

Oh wait, those people are still around too.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. If I'd have said like, I don't know, America sucks or something, it would have made it on everybody's Facebook page. Don't get me started on that shit. Because they only want you to hate. Yeah, they do. They don't want you to fucking talk cool stuff on social media. But whatever.

SPEAKER_00

I'm not gonna go into that. No, no. Whatever. I mean, some of us aren't fucking boot-licking Nazis. Yeah, Jimmy's a bootlick Nazi. Oh yeah, that's right. I'm a bootlicking Nazi.

SPEAKER_01

Boot licking Nazi, you are.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Because you just ran an experiment so people you could see who saw what.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, and that's the thing. There was it was a dual experiment. Yeah, I got you. But but yeah, it it it fucking worked. Yeah, it worked. Yeah, never liked you anyway. Yeah, well, I wanted to be a boot-licking Nazi, and how else am I gonna do it? I need to be clarified on Facebook. Yeah. I'm just kidding. Shows what you know. Yeah, how how dare you call me a bootlicker?

SPEAKER_01

People that you thought you never liked you. Go fucking figure. Yeah. Oh, I didn't mean to say fag out loud. Oh, I didn't until just then. Sorry.

unknown

I did see help one it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Oh, the help wanted. See? See, it showed that one, but you didn't see the didn't see the other one. So that's crazy. That shows you that they pick and choose what people see.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

It's not social networking.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it sent him that and said, Don't drop your truck off. Don't drop your truck off. He person short.

SPEAKER_01

There's a reason. Yeah. There's a reason that these cameras they're putting up around here are called flock cameras. Yeah. Because they're keeping up with the flock. Bro. It's what it is. I know.

SPEAKER_00

It's what it is. You know, I ain't got to shit happen. Bro, I don't, I don't, I don't got shit to hide, but that shit that shit's weird.

SPEAKER_01

We're just letting all this shit happen. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Anyway, I better stop. Yeah. I better stop. AI. AI. I mean, we use it.

SPEAKER_01

Might as well have cameras. You know what I found out a while ago?

SPEAKER_00

What'd you find out?

SPEAKER_01

You know, I used to be really cool about promoting our storage facility across the street. Yes. Back when Wes and Erica Dalton owned it, and it was called Adventure Boat and RV storage. Yes. Do you know what they're doing on the prices over there? Don't tell me they're fucking AI generated. A hundred percent. What? Monthly, whatever AI says the going rate around here is, that's what they change it to. We've had three rent increases on those storage buildings since they bought it from Wes.

SPEAKER_00

So literally your bill is not the same every month? No. That's fucked up. Nope. That is fucked up.

SPEAKER_01

And I have four 15 by 54 foot units over there that now are going to cost me almost $2,100 a month. God bless America. That's almost half my rent over here. So I'm looking for we gotta we gotta have something for Rodden Style anyway. Yeah. So I'm looking for a small shop somewhere that we can put these storage cars in right around here somewhere. That I can also turn into the Rodden Style building.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So anywho.

SPEAKER_00

That's a big building.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Yeah. But in one of those, it's just a couple of my things. Like I don't have to have that fourth one. Yeah. But they've had a 30% drop in uh uh uh tenants in the last like month or I mean one of them we can just clear out and put it in my driveway, but yeah, I got a truck to move. Yeah, we could do that, and then just have to haul it up here to work on it.

SPEAKER_00

We got trailers. Jimmy, what are you doing this weekend? I'm just sitting in the fucking driveway. I'm just vroom vroom, vroom, vroom. Like literally, all of a sudden. I would like to say something. Hey Jimmy, are we gonna do this? Kelly Kelly Kelly reaches out and like, hey, are we gonna do this? Hey, hey, you better bring your shit to my house.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, or your Kelly is like, what are you gonna do with that car? I'm gonna get driveway head. I'm gonna fucking stare at it.

SPEAKER_00

Why do you think it's getting bench seats?

SPEAKER_01

You're boiling me in it. That's what I'm doing. Uh so our buddy Fred showed up. Yes, because he thought we were supposed to have a hangout. And I want to let him know that truck sounded fucking amazing. It did.

SPEAKER_00

It did. Like literally, he's like, Did the hot rod just pull up?

SPEAKER_01

It's got factory computer and shit. Yeah. His his truck, his truck thinks it's a 2003 GMC truck. Oh, wow. Everything in it is all it's all factory. It the whole everything got put in that truck. It's a 67. But it sounds incredible. Dude. And I'm not gonna lie to you. Me and Les have been talking. We're probably gonna do it to the to Dewey. You think so? Yeah. Man, if we're gonna drive it all over the country for car shows and shit, it makes sense. It's either that or a Cummins swap, and I don't want to do that either.

SPEAKER_00

No.

SPEAKER_01

So everybody else is doing Cummins. I mean, everybody else is also doing LS's. But throw up just a that motor right there sounded bad, boy. And honestly, for as upgraded as it was compared to a normal LS, that the price wasn't that bad on that motor. No. Four grand or something like that? Yeah.

unknown

I I'm impressed.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's and it's fast. And it is fast. Go. His truck's fast. Fuck yeah. Like sketchy fast.

SPEAKER_01

So the piece of paper still says you've you're a wiener carrier.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Or a non-wiener carrier.

SPEAKER_00

SPEAKER_01

Like you walked out of there with no You walked in with a dick and a piece of paper.

SPEAKER_00

You need a fucking salvage title for that shit.

SPEAKER_01

Right. Then you walk out with no dick and the same piece of paper.

SPEAKER_00

Hmm. Hmm.

SPEAKER_01

Is there I wonder if it's like a diminished value thing though? But do you think it feels still feels the same? Does your health insurance get cheaper because you lost a part?

SPEAKER_00

Do you think it still feels the same?

SPEAKER_01

No. Why would it feel the same?

SPEAKER_00

Well, I mean, a penis is a penis.

SPEAKER_01

It's a good call.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, I mean, the other way.

SPEAKER_01

My bad. Yeah, but I don't know if you have to ask a porcupine. Hmm. You get dicks coming out instead of or going in instead of coming out. So I I don't. I mean, in theory, you're just rubbing heads together, huh? I mean, I ain't never had a I never had a heart on it, gave me a stomachache. No.

SPEAKER_00

One go touche. Right?

unknown

Whoa. Right.

SPEAKER_00

Imagine that.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I ain't never woke up with a boner and been like, damn, I'm all up in my guts. Can you imagine if they did it wrong and all of a sudden you had like this little like your glit was like this little penis that just like a little it's like a little dicklet?

SPEAKER_01

That's fucking great. He's got teeth. Oh.

SPEAKER_00

Have you ever seen that movie? No, teeth. No. Oh, yeah. That's exactly what you think. Okay. Yeah, Chick has teeth. Okay. Yeah. And she uses them. Not on purpose. Well, there was a couple times. She had teeth in her cooch? Yeah. That's weird. It's fucking weird. I watched that right out of after a human centipede. It's like a carved pumpkin. Yeah. Oof. That's a lot. Imagine that. So.

SPEAKER_01

But look, man, we just had a conversation about Dewey getting 7.7 miles a gallon.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, that Cummins would get about the same.

SPEAKER_01

Right. I mean, I I burned I mean, I I mean, goddamn. 204-mile round trip and burned $140 something dollars worth of gas.

SPEAKER_00

So factory for 200 miles. But factory LS, what do you think you're gonna get with that heavy ass truck? Up proteins. You think so? Absolutely. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

I think I could put a small block in it and and get twelve.

SPEAKER_00

I thought that yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I could just put a a stock good running 350. Yeah.

unknown

Those stock wheels and tires?

SPEAKER_01

No. No, they're aluminum wheels and shorter tires on top of having 411 gears.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, if you change the if you change the gears out and put a and put a a different motor in it, probably you probably do pretty good.

SPEAKER_01

I think if I just leave the 411s in it but do a LS and a 4L60 or 4L80, either one. Yeah. I think just adding overdrive and a and a more efficient motor. Yeah, true. I think it'll get 15 or so. Yeah. I really, I really do believe that. You know what I mean? Ditch one of the gas tanks to save some weight. Yeah. You know? Maybe ditch them both and just put a fuel cell in the bed, like uh under the bed, like a big blazer tank. Oh, yeah, that'd be cool. You know what I mean? Yeah. Where is it from? Didally? It's across the street. Yeah, I went and got the Thunderbird. Um here's my problem with that deal.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

The Thunderbird gets killer mileage.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

It's got a fucking 390 and a C4 in it. I don't understand how it gets such good gas mileage, but it's really good. Yeah. But the AC don't work. And I know I sound like a bitch. However, the Dooley does have throw ice chunks at your ass AC in it.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, no, 100%.

SPEAKER_01

And cruise control.

SPEAKER_00

This year this year made me realize uh just just with the little bit of heat we got, like, oh yeah, I'm a bitch. Yeah. I I have to use my AC. Right. Yeah, and I'm looking at my fucking my fucking gas gauge, because it gets really good gas mileage until I put that fucking AC on.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, the and do we don't care? It'll get the same seven miles a gallon with or without AC, with or without a trailer. You could be pulling a mobile home.

SPEAKER_00

Well, 39 won't have fucking AC.

SPEAKER_01

Won't need it. No.

SPEAKER_00

Won't need it.

SPEAKER_01

So I'm gonna have to fix the air in the Thunderbird. That's one of the now that's that's not gonna keep me from making it cool first. No, 100%. I'll do that shit later. Yeah, yeah. I just figured out I'll just start wearing wife beaters when I drive it. Yeah. That way my shirt don't get soaked when I get somewhere. Right. Because it it does. Um might have to start going back to no draws. Hmm. Get pimples on my ass in that hot ass vinyl. This guy. Oh fuck, man. Um what else do we got? Anything else we want to cover?

SPEAKER_00

This whole shop decided to flip script. I think because possibly the owner was in there, and then all of a sudden found out that Jimmy's been outside for two years. Yeah. Oh. Oh. So all of a sudden it became uh mad dash. Nobody puts anything under there uh after this truck leaves. We don't put anything under there. That is Jimmy's spot. If it wasn't there, what would you do? Yep. That's what you need to do. Nice. I was like, fucking hey, right. Fucking right. Can I get a spot inside where it's not hot? Yeah, do y'all have y'all got anything inside or no? No, but no, I I'm grateful for that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm also grateful that I didn't get the email that said that all the married guys were supposed to go meet for beers today in the multi-purpose room to talk about marriage. I'm like, cool. Maybe I didn't get invited because I'm on my third marriage. Don't nobody want to talk about- I don't know. Don't nobody want to talk about marriage. Yeah, what the fuck? Brooke was. You said drunk and marriage in the same sentence. Oh, by the way.

They're not fixing our fence though. They're paying to stain it. And I'm like, well, what about the part where it's leaning over like two feet? Like, that's stain's not gonna fix that. No. But um gutters, AC, windows.

SPEAKER_00

Fuck.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Yep. Um it was high.

SPEAKER_00

It was a big estimate. You know, you should really move out there where we are. I'd love to. I'm the only reason I'm saying that is because fucking everything comes straight for us and fucking right around us.

SPEAKER_01

I say I'd love to. Um I drive old shit.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Every day. I mean I have a I have a newer truck, but Oh, you mean the two lane roads? Well, just the distance.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, I have a nice newer truck. Yeah. But I'll just let Tyson drive it with his daughter in it, because I don't Right. If I have old shit that runs and drives, I'm not driving that truck.

SPEAKER_00

SPEAKER_01

I don't want to drive that boring shit that I pay for. Bro. You know what I'm saying? Like, but you know, whatever. It was a small repair for both vehicles. Yeah. But that's part of it for me. Like, that didn't have anything to do with using those to get business and all that. We don't market the shop anymore.

SPEAKER_00

Right.

SPEAKER_01

We don't we don't chase work for the shop anymore. So I'm not, that's not why I'm driving that shit. I'm driving that shit because I'm a fucking car guy.

SPEAKER_00

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And I don't want to be that guy sometimes. Sometimes I do.

SPEAKER_00

Well, yeah.

Tomorrow I probably will. I have a meeting I have to go to. I probably want to blend in with the crowd. You know what I mean? I don't always want to have the cool shit.

SPEAKER_00

Where are you going? Rockwall? Yeah. Figured. Yeah. So, but sometimes I want to- Do you need to squat it a little bit?

SPEAKER_01

No, I don't need to squat it. Oh, okay. Uh, I could take Clayton's truck and use the rock lights. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Roughest riding truck I've ever been in in my life. That truck rides worse than my my mini trucks did.

Yeah, every line on that motherfucker is on. Oh, yeah, whatever. It looks like a BMW dash. So Yeah, whatever. Um he's driving the shit out of it. I hear him every morning when he's Rockwell County, right? He's leaving for work. It is Rockwell County. So what's wrong with it? Uh he just got it running? Yeah, he put a water pump on it. Um V V T solenoid. I don't know what else.

SPEAKER_00

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Why do you put litter boxes outside? That's weird. I mean, this day and age, it might be for fucking customers. Man, there was a kid that went to school at Clayton School that she identified as a cat and literally had a fucking litter box. I shit you negative. Why are you looking at me like you're fucking shitting me, right? Like litter boxy. No.

unknown

She identified as a cat.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, cat, ears, tail, and they couldn't make her not identify as a cat. So they just let her identify as a cat. I'm not bullshitting you.

SPEAKER_00

I'd whoop her ass and see how quick she meows.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. How many lives you got, bitch?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. You whoop that ass. I guarantee she ain't gonna fucking meow at you. No, yeah. I'm not playing. Oh my god. Dead ass series. Serial. That's just as bad as like all of a sudden your fucking three or four-year-old tells you, I think I'm a I think I'm a boy. Yeah. When she's a girl. Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, let's run with this. Like seriously? You're supporting a four-year-old saying, I'm a boy. What make you feel that way? Well, because there's like a fucking nine or ten-year-old out there that thinks she's a fucking boy. Because when she was like three or four, yeah, it was kind of personal. Uh get it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Damn, that's cheap. Les just sent me a really, really good deal on a really cheap Thunderbird. Okay. Really good deal. $6,500. Damn. Must be getting divorced.

SPEAKER_00

Or she took it.

SPEAKER_01

Um. But anyway. Yeah. Identified as a cat.

SPEAKER_00

Whatever. So we're done with this world.

SPEAKER_01

What if what is this? Oh, that's my dear me letter. I hadn't looked at that in a while. Anyway. What else we got? Don't have much. Nah, this is a pretty decent episode. Yeah, it was. I don't even think it was that comical. Maybe a little. Fruit. Fruit. Sure. Yeah. Orange. Yeah, I'm gonna go home and get some yellow pudding.

SPEAKER_00

No, you're not. You're not. You're not. I can't call it. Well, we're not calling it banana anymore. Well, no, that's that's my whole point. How how do you look around the fucking room like, okay, we gotta name this shit? Hold on just a minute. And you get all the way to fucking orange. I'm just curious. And all you can think of is the color and the fucking orange is orange? Yeah, but apples. You know what I'm saying? Like apples.

SPEAKER_01

Bananas, yellow. Yeah. Hold on. Hold on. How did the banana get its name? Let's find out. Chat GPT. You said transcribing. It's probably something they're going, oh fuck, I don't know. It said this recording cannot be processed. Well, fine then. How did the banana get its name? The word banana most likely came into English through Portuguese or Spanish traders in West Africa during the fifteen hundreds. Portuguese word banana appears to have been borrowed from a West African language, although linguists aren't completely certain which one. Oh, you're making this shit up.

SPEAKER_02

They use AI to AI.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Interestingly, bananas are originally native to Southeast Asia, not Africa. Okay. They were cultivated for thousands of years in places such as, yeah, those places, New Guinea and surrounding regions before spreading westward across the Indian Ocean and into Africa long before Europeans arrived. Well, this is stupid. It just doesn't tell us. I feel like it was some dude's name. I feel like the dude that found it, his name was Banana, and it became the banana.

SPEAKER_00

Look, when you when you move on to another, no, no, you just ask how fruit got its name. That's a whole fucking rabbit hole, homie. Oh yeah, I bet. Oh god. Like orange came from the Skandirk. That's where I'm gonna get to. Then Persia, then Persian. Didn't we just bomb them? Then Arabic, then Spanish, French, and finally English. The orange. Hmm.

SPEAKER_01

What the f Where'd you come up with the goddamn name? But why? See, there's no answer there. Yeah. I think it was just like when you move into a new neighborhood, first person that moves onto a street names the street.

SPEAKER_00

Banana likely came from the West African word that Portuguese traders adopted. But why?

SPEAKER_01

Where did it originate is what I I you see what I'm saying? I don't grapefruit.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it's also not grows in clusters and resembles grapes. But not really, because it's about the size of an orange. But they grow in clusters rather than just one at a time type thing, I guess. Okay. I got you. Pineapple. Early Europeans thought it looked like a pine cone and tasted like an apple. So they combined the word pineapple. That makes fucking sense. At least there's something there. But orange. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Adopted from all these fucking things to English. Yeah. And like I said, I want to meet Richard Eggplant.

SPEAKER_00

Listen, motherfucker. I want to know why a fucking orange is named after its goddamn color. And why are you fucking blurping my cussing out?

unknown

Because it's free.

SPEAKER_00

Can you figure that one out? Fair question.

SPEAKER_01

You got the free version?

SPEAKER_00

She says, first off, first, I am not intentionally blurping, in quotes. You're cussing.

SPEAKER_01

I love Chad GPZ.

SPEAKER_00

Bitch. Fruit. Named orange first. Color. Later named after the fruit.

SPEAKER_01

Hard to argue.

SPEAKER_00

I mean. Motherfucker, that told me goddamn jack shit. I told you why they're. Motherfucker, I do not look at something and go, oh, look, apple.

SPEAKER_01

There's a red. No, go the opposite way. Does it really fuck you up with candy apple red?

SPEAKER_00

You see?

SPEAKER_01

I get it. I get it.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know. But if you were going to paint something, it'd be oranges.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. You know what would look like a good pair of oranges?
