Is it really Friday night? I thought you guys were in a weird time
zone up there. We're we're on the thirty. You're on the thirty.
You're on the thirty. That's good. I like that. So how was
that? I'm sorry I missed the trivia? So how was the trivia?
Kyle? Awesome? Yeah, tribute to Bob Hyle. That was fantastic,
even though I missed a lot of questions. So oh good a trivia tribute
to banks Kyle. Ok. Yeah, ten questions all dedicated to boble Excellent,
very good. That was very good. Well, Josh, I was
gonna ask you to say something about Bob it for for two or three minutes.
I I did not catch him Nation, but I did see your five
or six minute tribute stream that's not stream but premiere that you do on your
chain. Yeah for him. I thought that was pretty good. I think
somebody was cutting onions during ham Nation. Yeah, so I mean, well,
thank you, thank you by the way. Yeah, yeah, Bob.
Bob had an amazing influence on our community. Uh and also obviously music
music in general, rock and roll. Honestly, he's probably have Kyle had
some of his thoughts too, because he was actually like you know, lived
near him. But you know, for me, I met Bob as a
fan of ham Nation, right, I quote unquote grew up as a ham
watching ham Nation. And it wasn't until later, you know, almost pre
covid, that I finally met him, and uh, he's just he's just
a great guy that that was positive. Didn't really speak on his own accord,
but used an opportunity to kind of show interest in what everyone was was
doing with ham radio, what they were passionate about, and he would guide
and help and add suggestions. But he was a doer too, so you
know, I mean you saw the pie board project, multiple other things,
and he was always driving from the steering wheel what he liked to do in
the hobby am him radio. You know, he was out there upfront telling
people, encouraging people to yeah, turn your seventy three hundred, am,
We'd love to hear you out there, right, Always encouraging, always welcoming.
And that's just what I remember about him most and what gave me the
most, just I don't know the energy for doing the same kind of stuff
with my channel, and I just great guy would seriously will be missed,
massive impact. Absolutely Yeah, well said thank you for that. Yeah,
Kyle, if you want to say a few words out, please do.
Yeah. So Bob lived in Saint Louis most of his life. He moved
over to Belleville, Illinois, and then he spent after he retired, he
spent quite a bit of time in like Springfield, Missouri. But he came
to our club meetings all the time and every like people just flocked to him
right and would just ask him questions. He would come to our ham fest
and it was just like an entourage. People would follow him around and ask
him questions. I mean, it was it was something to see. And
Bob was one of those guys where he knew he knew his stuff, and
you looked at him and all I all I could think about was this is
a living legend right here. Like you know, as much stuff and knowledge
I can absorb from him, the better. And he was just an all
around great guy. Contributed to the Hobby, contributed to Saint Louis Amateur Radio.
You know the things in the stories that he has. I mean I
remember sitting in a room with him, probably ten years ago, and he
was just telling me rock and roll stories of him. You know, Hob
nobbin with with people that are our legends in the music business, and they
know him by his first name, and you know, they call him up
and hey it's Bob. They know it's Bob Hyle. So he was a
great guy. Absolutely. I only had I I had a chance to meet
him one time. Well, no, I think I met him twice,
but I don't think I talked to him except for one time. But the
most memorable time for me was apparently he and Roger at Arnel were good friends.
And uh, Roger calls me up one day and he's like, hey,
we got this this that new pro system, which I don't think I
have it back there anymore. The Parami, Yeah, it's behind my new
Saint sign Parametric paramis Chick receive audio system, the Hile pro system when that
was brand new. Roger called me or he emailed me, I think,
and he's like, hey, do you want to review one of these?
I'll send you these one he goes, I can get a lot of Hile
stuff. I'm like, okay, cool, this is a uh this is
Ahile Mike pr thirty and I've talked I've been using this in the shack for
probably five years as well. So I got the pro system and I was
tinking around with it and I'm like, okay, I think I understand how
to do this, this and this and then uh, and I email Roger.
I was like, I got a couple questions about I don't even remember
what it was now, this was like three or four years ago. And
uh, He's like, okay, let me see if I can find the
answers to you. And I get a call one afternoon. My phone rings.
I'm like, who is this? And I answered is Bob? Hile
he called me, He's like, hey, what questions you have about the
promises? I'm like, dude, I was like, okay, so wasn't
expecting you to call me, but so we talked for fifteen to twenty minutes.
Very approachable guy, nice, really down to earth, you know,
of course, you know, in he get he's like, well, this
is my phone number, you know, keep my phone number. Call me
anytime you want to. And I don't think I ever called him, but
but yeah, just very approachable, very hopeful, very knowledgeable of course,
real nice dude. I have a funny story that I just remembered. So
I got my pro six headset and I bought it from Hile Sound, you
know, and they had to pick up a local pickup that you could go
pick it up in Bellevillellinois. That's where his his shop is at. So
I rolled over there and picked it up. Knocked. You know, it's
just this house. It doesn't even say how sound on it. It's just
it's like literally a house. And I'm like, am I in the right
place. I knock on the door. The door opens. It's Bob and
I'm like, I'm here to pick up my head said. He's like,
yep, Kyle, I got it right here. And this is you know,
before I had had any or much interaction with Bob, and we sat
there and talked for twenty minutes about him, radio and whatnot. And yeah,
I was just surprised that Bob answered the door answered I was probably his
house, probably come on down. Oh my god, Bob, Bob and
I. So I have to blame Bob for my my current status because,
like especially w Zo Tripley, like he he brought us onto ham Nation when
I was I could not grow a beard like the pictures of you on YouTube
at that stage of your life story. It was like episode number was that.
I think it was like fourteen fifteen. It was pretty early, and
it was like Youth and the title was Youth and ham Radio and w ZO
Tripley got on and it's like my beardless double chin like like goofy smile and
Bob's interviewing us and they've had he's just been the most generous, like so
on behalf of Youth on the air, like who Hyle sound has has been
a sponsor and uh the Hamrydo Club at Missouris and t like to zero ec
Eco like he's been the most generous, the most like like ask him a
question, he'll give you like a story, not an answer, but a
story. Right, And and to Kyle's point, like people will trail him
like like Roadie's even if it's the same thing that you've heard a hundred times,
like he he always did his like two microphone demonstration. He always did
his amazing thing. We all know that so well, but we still go
in, we still go and see it and it's still like, man,
somebody here is like learning something new, even though like I knew this the
whole time, but like Bob taught me that I knew this because he taught
me that and it was worth listening to a million times over. I'm sure.
Yeah, man, I miss him so much. It's like it sucks.
But like even when you had such a little, like a tiny amount
of time with him, like like you changed, like it changed something in
you. There was a funny story I had it like it had no relation
to him radio. But I was wearing a Hile Sound t shirt from Yoda
Camp that we got, and I went to Cole's looking for a suit or
not Coals. I think, uh, what was it? Might have been
Coals or might have been Macy's. No, no, no, it was
like it was a big box like Bules. Maybe Nah, it was one
of those things. Anyway, I'm wearing my Hall shirt and the guys there
like, do you know Bob, And I'm like and I'm like, yes,
oh yeah, I know. Bob was like he gets his suits here,
so you know he wears the purple suits all the time. He gets
his suits at that at that place rack. I'm like looking for just a
plain blue suit, but I see a rack of like bright blaze orange,
purple, bright blue, royal Nate, like all of the all of the
crazy colors, the dumb and dumb from the right. Yeah, yeah,
this suit guy dumb. He knew his old family. And I was like,
gets there, and I never did. But it's just a wow funny
that's crazy. Yeah, Samson, it was way off, Samson. I
wait, it was that John Dimver's Foolished Man. That's a good one of
the greatest quotable movies of all time. So one of Bob's donated PR fourts
is still old and strong at the ham Radio Shack at Triple Nice. That's
what I wrot. I got Yeah, he uh, I don't. It
wasn't No. Ash sent me one of those before Huntsville Hamfest two years ago.
I think it was two years ago. Oh, I remember that you
had that set up there. Yeah, and I had that set up at
the table and it's and it's still in my it's still in my f T
D X ten case. So I've I lost the I've got the boom somewhere.
I lost the boom, so I haven't used the mike in a while,
but the mic is perfectly good. It's and I was like, oh,
I want to upgrade my PR thirty and Bob and Ash were both like,
no, no, they're basically the same thing. You just one of
them has more highs than lows or something. I don't remember what they said,
but they were like, no, that's that's not really an upgrade.
And I'm like, radio, it's not really, it's gotta, it's gotta,
it's got a well I was losing. I was well, I was
using it for I was wanting to upgrade my shack for the for YouTube really,
but they were like, I'm like, it's got a bigger number.
It's got to be better, you know, PR forty, PR thirty.
Yeah, that's what marketing is all about, right, right, right,
So I don't know the end, right, yeah, plus to the end.
Yeah that's good. Uh all right, let's kick it over to Steve
Man. Tell us, tell us how it's going out there. And I
saw a video that someone sent to me. I'm not going to admit who
it was. And it looks like you guys are coming along in that place.
So really looking forward to seeing it next week. So what's going on
up there? Me turned in, Okay, I left there. I have
that problem too. Yeah, my radio right right? The storms I came
through, and of course it wasn't the It wasn't the thunder that woke me
up this morning. It was my seatpat machine turning off of me going never,
never know the pain, never how you want to wake if if you
watch Dave Castler's last video, he's got a solution for that. I didn't
see his Go watch Dave Castler's last video. Okay, let's let Steve talk
about Gigabarts first. Yeah, so, yeah, those who don't know,
Gigaparts is getting a huge upgrade in the city of Huntsville, Alabama's actually is
it? Is it in Huntsville? Is it in Madison, Huntsville? It
is in Huntsville. Okay, okay, all right, good, so go
ahead. Last two and a half weeks, I've been setting up just the
radio side, so I would I I'm not you know, I'm not an
engineer with size. I would say, if you've been to Huntsville, Amfest
or Dayton, take my booth size and probably double it, maybe even Wow.
Yeah, it's for sure. It's definitely two boops at Orlando, not
Orlando, Dayton, Huntsville size. It's it's huge. And that's just the
radio section inside the new store. Yeah, that is just the radio section.
Uh. When I left at six today to go to the Huntsville Club
meeting before jumping on here, they were just finishing up the telescopes and the
camera section photography. Sorry, wow, mm interesting. Yeah, it's fifty
When I say fifty five thousand square feet, and I'm hoping I've got that
right, I want to say it is fifty five thousand square feet. But
if you saw, if you read the press release, you saw the you
know, I know I'm wearing my gigapartsure and I'm making fun of the as
I call it, the YouTube video of South Park in gigabart style, but
you know, like it says astronomy, aviation, photography, makers, treasure
hunting. They're there and it's a lot. I know some people are coming
in next week for the soft opening two, do some videos, do some
whatever they're going to do next Saturday's grand opening. John Cruck will be there
from yay, Sue good good really keep me busy on a week from now?
Sure? Cool? Well, I will be there next week. I
will. You guys planned this grand opening, This was supposed to well,
Okay, so I'm gonna dig on Jason because he's not here Okay. So
at first he said I were shooting for early February, and I'm like,
before him, Cashun, there's no way you're gonna do that before him,
Casion, dude, come on. So he's like, yeah, i'd probably
be like early March or something like that. And you guys picked the one
weekend in March that's the Hamside Conference. So I'm gonna actually be in Cleveland.
I'm gonna be in Cleveland next yeah, but for the Hampstick Conference.
But but I am going to I'm going to Huntsville early next week. And
uh, I have I haven't announced this yet, but here we go,
ready to hear it. I have a banner birthday on Wednesday of next week,
and I'm gonna do a live stream on Wednesday on my birthday and Wednesday,
oh uh from Gigaparts, from the new Gigaparts Movie Production Studio YouTube studio,
however you want to call it. So there you go. So,
yeah, you guys tune in for that and there's gonna be something. Steve
you better, here's your warning. Get a cake, okay, Bud,
that's a little cupcake. They've been teasing us and drinks every Fridays cupcakes on
steroids. That's all I can really say. Trying to keep trying to keep
your sugar and caffeine levels up, so you guys don't stop working at five
o'clock get one of those ice cream cupcakes from Dary Queen there. Yes,
yeah, so yeah, you'll have to tune in. I mean I'll post
the uh pre planned livestream link on the channel, so you guys will figure
that out pretty quick. But whatever number birthday it is, you're gonna have
some I know which one it is. You're gonna, Yeah, you do,
Kyle, You're gonna you're gonna have that number. Percent off sale on
some system stuff too. And that's totally Jason's idea because and he said,
oh we could do some percent off sales. I'm like, really, that's
yes, I'm down of yay zus. I mean, John's gonna be there,
So we're gonna give sixty percent off of yeas all yazy equipment and send
you one Hell yeah that price. I'm gonna buy twelve of them and give
run away on the channel for the next year. Oh my god. Yes,
yeah, I was just can we stack coupons and just kind of wow,
you know how I said I couldn't go to Huntsville because the work has
been too crazy. I thought you were still up in the air about that,
but pretend that I knew that. Go ahead, Yeah, I told
you a couple of weeks ago, and I called gig adjacent and told him
so. This week they said, oh, our project is kind of dead
in the water because it's some uh something unreliable. So you could go on
that trip if you want to. Frank, I'm like, the tickets are
one thousand dollars. Oh, Yanks not on Southwest, so you'reving, so
you're trying it? Sounds like right, Yeah, will Sapphire make the trip?
She will trip very easily, say the road trip? Yeah, I
bet she will. She's giving away discount codes. Is that what I heard?
Yes, I might hear yeah, yeah, I might heard something like
that. So Frank, if we drove out there, we can actually listen
to music during the drive. Oh, that would be so cool. We
have never done that. I mean, I've done it by myself. You
do a lot of things about yourself, But are you gonna do a PRS
on your way? We could we could could could maybe maybe throw on the
d p r S with the Oh yeah, yeah, get the dpr S
out there with the Icon mighty fifteen. Are there any PRS gates around?
Yeah, it's any Star repeater, any d start repeater that's the Internet connected
mm hmm, a beacon with dpr S. I don't think it works that
way. I think it's just when you key up on a on a d
Star repeater, it just shows your GPS stuff. But I don't know it
on the radio. Yeah, so I don't. Something i've got does does
smart making or yeah, some similar to it. You have to hit the
repeater. It's always like the B side, the data side, or the
Charlie side if you've got depending on how you have your repeater set up.
I've honestly never looked at the DPRS menus on any of my Icon radios.
And that's not a that's not a dig I'm just I just never have taken
the time to do it, so neither has anybody else. Well, hey,
Mike, there's an opportunity for you, buddy, there's a video.
Can we'll maybe I'll set up a d gate at my house, a d
gate car around your bag. You need you need to build a bag bag.
Yeah, you need to build a bag for your ID fifty and all
the accessories and call it your D bag. That's a great idea. And
when you chow up to ham Fesk, you carry that back around and you
walk up to people and say, do you want the D I brought the
des? Have you experienced my D bang a bag of DAL? I'm sorry,
we're getting monotized, right, you know what if you guys have know
when I've been food for the last two weeks. This is nothing good on
Twitter. That's crazy. Oh gosh, I'm not I'm not. I'm not
going to talk about it yet, but you can rest assured everyone will get
the whole story. Yeah, yeah, that was like four of you once.
Say again, well, I was saying speaking of a bag of DS.
Shane, did you get anything at your house and any price packages that
showed up? Not yet? Not yet? Okay, my cigar showed though.
I know you're you're you're at tempting people to send you stuffsolutely Yes,
I thought I thought someone might have reciprocated, Shane, don't forget. Yeah,
there was no other than the delivery confirmation. There's no like gratification from
that package. But but was there. Does he know? Does he know
who it came from? Of course? Not? Okay, YouTube channel that
you got there? I mean I don't know. Given his given his complete
lack of ability to shut up, there's no way he could have watched a
clubhouse and not commented somewhere at some point in time. So yeah, yeah,
yeah, the only person who thumbs down every episode, right, Yes,
yeah, you should start out every episode. Thank you for the thumbs
down for the again, but I appreciate that again. Absolutely Motor party on
Buddy on Absolutely, oh Wow, party on Moto, Party on Vertex,
party on Harris, Oh my goodness, here are on Twin Cities. But
uh yeah, okay, So we were talking about something I don't remember it
was now. I think it always spawned off of talking about the new gigup
parts that one up. Yeah, we went quite down the rabbit hole in
that one, Josh Josh manson something that I could not put out Ken would
mm hmmmm. So, I mean you can't put it out radios like you
can't get any you can't sell them. I'm gonna say it publicly. I
I don't. I don't do any of the radio purchases. I've got my
own you know, I got teletron and all that. We just got our
first the lotman of these seventy fives. Wow, I'm gonna say, Steve,
did you check the bat sounds like it's a very big warehouse, like
thirteen level warehouse that you guys to the back, like all the way in
the back behind Bread from Shipping signed for it. Yeah, I mean,
I think Jason from Shipping sign I like this. I like this shot of
Sterling. He's I thought he was going to pour like he had the camera
in the glass and he was going to do a real artsy, poor kind
of thing. But there you go with the go pro, the go pro
underneath the elevation. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, that's
good. Just started blogging Slague with those kind of shots right in there.
That the right, it's nice to eat your heart out. I yeah,
well maybe maybe the sixty percent off sal will be that case of d seventy
fives that never shows. Oh my goodness. Yeah yeah, I'll let you
know. Yeah, yeah, keep that. I'm gonna keep those myself.
I'm putting that in my journal. This is the time and date with boards
and I can get the discount are you doing it? I have been drinking
beer, but yeah, I can switch over. We can, we can,
all right? Who all has that nasty crap? Got the scattered brain?
We we just saw Mike drink it. We know what his reaction is
gonna. Smelled it smelled it, all right? All right, Josh,
you're getting pinned. I've already I already had. I've already had that.
I've already drank this on the podcast. You can go check out the podcast
review because we open this as a part of the people Frank. The podcast
does not show your face after you drink it. So yeah, yeah,
I like it. I actually like it. I actually like it. I
have no I think I drank about three or four fingers of it on the
podcast before switching. I shouldn't talk. I haven't actually tasted that yet.
It sounds nasty, but you don't like that. You don't like the pickle
beer, so you probably won't like this because it's very dill forward. It
really it's still whiskey, but it's also spicy. But it's spicy too,
so it's spicy pickle. Honestly, Honestly, what I told on the podcast
is that, like I I know there's got to be a name for like
a bloody marry that you make with like a whiskey. This would be great
in a bloody marry you make with a whiskey. I think, oh,
that's nasty. That's a good idea. That's a good idea because that's the
only way I could drink and you can't taste That is crazy. I should
not expect that with licorice blood. The next time we're all together, I
will make them and you will love them. I swear to God. I'll
try it. I'll try. Don't try, Adre just I like I like
tomato, cuts away the licorice, but I don't want that. I like
I like the tomato. Yeah, bloody Mary is probably my favorite mixed drink.
Frank, go ahead, go ahead, Frank. This is my second
time I tried this. The first time I tried it was the recorded live
stream that it just gave me, like the next you're Tommy, tom No,
no, why, I'm not going to pretend it's a good whiskey.
It is a whiskey that has been flavored. It's rebably a garbage whiskey,
no question. But hey, peanut butter whiskey is fantastic, though so gross
there. Bring it to me, Freddy, I would take it. I
think I would. I would paste myself better with the dill whiskey if that's
all I had versus the peanut butter, because I'll end up drinking too much
of the peanut butter. Dude, the peanut butter is like I need to
take a bottle of the peanut butter whiskey and split it into seventy five little
one ounce bottles and hide them from myself around the house so I don't drink
it too. That's a little because, oh my god, get you get
two bottles, you get real drunk on the first one, and then you
hide yeah, distri and then it's a little surprise every time you find.
That's a great day, that's a great week. Oh my goodness, thank
you for the super Steve. Steve. Yeah, all right, but I
want to say, if you're in the DFW area, or if you can
get Three Nations beer, the Sucker Punch, watermelon, Berlinervice is that's one
of them. That's one of my wife. This is not I'm not I'm
not masking it. Make it funny. I think you're right. Just one
of my wife's favorite beers, and she's not she's not a beer person.
But one very good. It's like a gold fruit or something like that.
It tastes like the clear gummy bear. It's a it's a bear, it's
not. It's it's like a blood orange. Right, I don't know there's
a there's a blood orange win or there. But okay, it's so good.
Passion food or dragon fruit or something like that. I don't remember.
The clear gummy bear is someone's favorite gummy bear? Yeah? Mine, the
the the golden bear one, the one that's like the black forest bear or
Horibos Horribo's gold the clear one that's like pineapple flavor or something like that.
It's really good. No, No, the yellow ones, like were you
a starburst yellow kind of guy? What a weird? Okay, thank you.
When drinking pickle whiskey, I'll try anything, and it's not that bad.
I think too much. There's too much. I would try it,
but I don't think that would like it though. Okay, has anybody had
like a tough morning and you drink a little of the pickle juice a little
bit, I can inhabit. This is a demonstration of how seventy two hundred
activity happens. It's the best comment all night. Oh my god, that's
that's the best comment on night. Dude. I hate pickles though, oh
see, I likes I like pickles. Anything like the pickle beer is just
it's just doll. It makes you really pucker. And I do it for
the shock factor on the live stream because it's just like super chest Yes,
yes, yes, an artificial flavor to it. It does, Yeah,
it does. That's the problem with it. But I mean, yes,
if you can make a bloody marry with pickle, if you can make a
bloody marry with that with a spiced pickle whiskey, yes, the best bloody
one of the best blood marry I've ever had was with the pepper flavored absolute.
Yeah, that's fantastic. That's really good. The next time you have
your dear least where we actually show up. I have a vod that did
I put like and halopenos. I make a pepper vodka that is just for
bloody Mary's and yes, fantastic. Well okay, so so last weekend of
June, buddy, last weekend of June, look at the shot glass.
He put this in cock If you have some old cock there for you.
Mike. That's eighty meters. That's an eighty meters class. Yeahs, Jason,
you better get a hell of a super chap for this. Okay,
all right, So hold on, this is the pick pick whiskey here,
that's right, all right, hold on, hold on, hold on,
Mike, did you have a handy? Oh, I'm like, if you
want to watch me throw up, I'll drink this. But I'm glad you
got tyle right there. Oh gosh, okay, here we go. All
right, So okay, so someone get ready with it with how much super
chap can we get for Mike to drink this? I don't know. I
challenged enough to pay for gas to get Mike and Frank out to the gigaparts
where right as yeah, liquor as the gas. I don't think it's that
I aproved the sucker punch that I was talking about. Is I'm like,
like when you're when you're going to get into like cold water swimming, you
know it's cold, and it's like that certain point you're guess psaking yourself out
is what you're saying a little bit of you know what I mean? Around
the are you going to shoot it. I'm not shooting it. I'm just
sipping it like I don't think you need to shoot it. It might go
down faster. I don't know how much do you want to terrorize your sure
as hell sipping it's fine. It tastes like so that's right. You hate
Listen, peanut butter whiskey is disgusting that you're done. That I had here
last time I was here was gross. This is the worst thing I've ever
smelled in my life. You cant dog crap in this and it would make
it be better. I don't think can't. Ken says, quit whining and
just do it. There you go, How is it like? It's bad?
It's bad? Now they're rolling in. Oh look at that Ken knitteryn
knitter Key, nier Key, Bill hiking and Hammond and what Jay you are?
Rob? Thank you, thanks guys, thanks for that. That's fun.
Do not help coke pickled coke? Now, pickled coke is actually not
bad. Cherry worse, not cherry picks, not cherry pick coke ones.
I don't know, get to get to thebody. Think that's a good idea.
Oh I I don't agree that it should have been made I'm not on
board with it being a fake, but I'm having it. It's not that
bad because are like, I don't know, I haven't tried it. I'm
literally like I've repoured, I redrinking the Lord, like, where is the
Lord? Oh? It is so much better than the Lord. The Lord
is? My Lord is terrible, dudly enough. I really like Jason's comment
Mike needs some pistrami to clear the flavor. Eating this with pastrami would be
perfect because it's got that flavor. You'd be all set. Only time I
can eat a pickle like one, not necessarily but with like a good Deli
sandwich on whatever. This is the concentrated pickled garbage done with the five gifted
subs man. Check that out? Thank you? Yeah that's bad, Yes,
five s k T done? Yeah, thank you? Don uh is
O if you there's a there's a spot open since uh, since there's actually
lots of spots open, but is is Oh, you're welcome to join us
if you want on the zoom buddy. Look at Sturly, he's gonna go
dig now. I'm wondering if I got my Lord or not. Savior whiskey
is really bad, but Milart's is so much worse, so much worse,
so much worse. What is this ship is smooth and delicious? What in
the United States? Because it has a piece of grass in it? Wadka
is what is what uh check Off calls vodka? Mm? HM's right that
that's true. This stuff is good, but you can only go into Poland
the real stud Is that grass something that the bison just pissed on? Or
is that? Uh? That is it was? It was a piece of
grass that got caught up with the potato. Literally it came out of it
came out of the bison. Dunge is what it is? Yeah, exactly.
There's a toxic element in the grass that makes it not importable in PD
So you have to get it in Poland for the good stuff. But this
is like I'll drink this whole bottle. It'll be like I'm great and then
wake up five days later like in a different state. Yeah, I can
hangover. I don't know if you guys look at all these gifted man,
I know it. Yeah, yeah, thank you for the gifting of subs
from everyone. Oh, Josh did some thanks Josh, I did owe you
back because you've been gifted subs on my channelsies, that's true. That's not
why I did that. But thank you very much, Thank you appreciate it.
Yeah, thanks a lot. So there's a thirty second delay on YouTube,
So those of you in zoom should be looking at YouTube right now.
And one if you sent me that, I'm not gonna say who it was.
I'm not seeing it. All text of your distillery here I the Lord,
which is oh, I like it. That's great. I will say
milort tastes like Johnson's and Johnson's no more tears. That is, Oh my
god, that's what my Lord tastes like to me, like shampoo. Drink
who's had my Lord? And tell me I'm wrong. It tastes like shampoo.
Like shampoo is one of the many I try not to eat shampoo.
But that's like heavily scotch, heavily Penis Scott. It smells heavily smells like
the underside of a band aid. That is, okay, what what is
the scotch you had? You're talking about? Like leafro sixteen or something like
that, like or like O beg you have lo sorry sorry no I'm sor
heavy peeded stuff. Yeah, everything out of ila is all heavy peted.
So I'm saying, uh, what is that space is like the like logo
is the peated Scotch. Have you had log of yes? And you don't
like that? I don't. I don't mind the paste like like like band
aid smells like the glue and a band aid. I don't get that.
I don't get that one from a lord or from from I mean, I
can see where he's coming from. I I I do know it goes down
that road for sure. Like I love Scotches, like uh, like the
the good good Laddie good Laddie. Yes, but it's more it's it has
more mineral to me mmhm and I, by the way, that is the
hot tip. The Kirkland slash Costco. Scotches are pretty damn good. They
are all pretty really yeah, they're there Scotch. It's kind of like how
Trader Joe's would repackage like actual good Wineries in like two buck chuck, and
you'd get something that's way higher value. A lot of the a lot of
the distilleries in Scotland or you know wherever I'm assuming all Scotland. If they're
calling a Scotch, uh, they're actually relabeled as Kirkland, but they're all
really solid. The Space Side one is probably my favorite. Yeah, but
this is coming from somebody who likes pickled whiskey. But I'm intrigued enough Jack
to try it. I have, I have, I have drank so many
things, many times. I have a variation of very good and what I'm
drinking now. I think everybody on the show is being a little dramatic.
It's not that bad. But at the same time, I wouldn't put it
on the level of any Scotch let alone of even the same game. Yea,
not even the same game. No, not even close. Just do
you think Space Side has like an aftertaste of coffee, Like it tastes like
a dark coffee, like a like an espresso after finished, Like to me,
I don't know. But that's why I haven't had that particular one in
like a year. And everything else is like still full because these are like
peats and this is like, this is like great, I can't. I'm
gonna have to I'm gonna have to figure out. I'm gonna have to find
someone with a costco cards one of those probably changing. If you're all bourbon
drinkers, Space side, that space side blend or I don't even know if
it's Is it a single man or blend, I don't remember, But anyway,
the space side is the most off rampy from a bourbon drinker in discotch
than like anything. The rest of her too kaky for it actually tastes sweet
and has a coffee's like coffee after taste to me. But see that sounds
good to me. That sounds good to me, like a little bit of
a coffee. It's harder. I would tell everybody throw it throwing ice cube
and a scotch, and just generally I generally don't. I put an ice
cube and maybe a splash of water in my bourbon. I generally don't like
to do that in my scotch because the really good scotches that I like,
you don't really need that. In my opinion, I think the bourbon can
be. Bourbon can burn a little, but Scotch is just so smooth.
Scotch is my like, my favorite thing. There is so differently, there's
so many different types of bourbons. Oh absolutely, yes, yeah, And
I'm talking super sugary. I'm talking like a y I'm talking like a thirty
to forty dollars bottle of bourbon. If you want to buy one hundred and
fifty dollars bottle of bourbon, it's probably gonna be a lot smootherer, obviously,
but you know you're trying. Have you guys tried Traveler yet, speaking
of bourbons or whiskies, I don't. Traveler is put out by Chris Stapleton
and it is in partnership with Buffalo Trace. Oh it's thirty it's thirty one
dollars from here in Texans. But it is fanantastic. I've got like super
bottle of it. I got. I got some cigars from Buffalo Trace this
week. Oh, like dipped or like, what is that? No,
I don't think. I think it's just I think it's just from barrels.
I think are they stored in. They're stored in so you get a little
of the action. Yeah, so just kind of Yeah, they're not infused.
I don't believe. I don't like. No, I don't either.
I agree with you. John Cook likes infused cigars, and I'm like,
I don't, guys, I don't like the end of their cigar in like
a you know, konyak Now I've done that and that's tasty. That's tasty,
good scotch, dipping it in a good scotch. That's that's but that's
not in that. That the Mike's Cigars dot Com I got I got,
Yeah, yeah, that's the website mike Cigars dot Com. It's it's I
found that when I was I was browsing around for some uh for some Gurka
spec Ops. You remember, Frank years ago when when uh when Gurka spec
Ops You remember when Baker brought those to the herf years ago. And I'm
like, I still got one. It's probably seven years old. I've still
got one of that, And I'm like, I wonder if they still make
that, and they do. And I got a couple of spec Well,
actually I didn't. I got a couple of Gurka Ghosts because the spec Ops
they only sold in a box. They weren't selling them in five packs at
the time. So I bought some Gurka Ghosts. I'm like, Okay,
these are just as good as I remember them, maybe better. So now
I'm gonna probably go get a box. But yeah, I just was poking
around. So now I'm on their email list because I bought something from them,
and this email came through the other day and they're like, hey,
this Buffalo Trace natural rappers. They're robustos, and I'm like, oh,
thirty bucks for a five pack. I'm good like Interstellar starman in the chat
said Pappy Van Winkle because Buffalo Trace got mentioned, and that's a kind of
a fun story. Yeah, at the Mount pacific O High. Yes,
yeah, Matt a four m Q so so Jason was there, Sterling was
there and uh and oh yeah and Kyle h Kyle the well, yeah,
Kyle's there. We all were on the summit and he breaks out multiple taster
bottles of Pappy Van Winkle and I believe we had a happy twelve A sixteen
and a was it a twenty one? I think it. I think so.
It was Yeah to hike, you had to hike the mountain to get
there, and then everybody got to try Pappy. And if anybody wants going
to be videos on YouTube, I'm going to be the devil here is way
overrated. Yeah, I would agree with that. I mean, it was
good though, it was really good. Okay, I had I thought it
was okay, now really good hot cigar comparison. Oh sorry, go ahead,
sorry, no, I've had it a second time. My stepfather in
law like inherited a bunch of like whiskeys, like very nice whiskeys, along
with like some pappy bottles, and he was like there was probably like a
couple of fingers left in this bottle. I was like, I want to
try a little bit, and he just poured the whole bottle. Oh no,
whoa whoa passing around. It's like, oh, that's good, but
it's like really high proof. It's really like like we put some ice and
then it's like, I mean, I mean, it's like good, but
it's like this is some seven year knob Creek and I'm like, I can't
really tell it. Seven year knob creek. No way, no way creek
is good. Seven year though, seven years. That's a right, that's
a right. The Green labels a ride in terms of like, is this
supposed to be like a like a four thousand dollars bottle of wine? Good
like I've had those? No? No, is this supposed to be like
the best whiskey ever? It's like it wasn't. It was good, but
it was like overrated. You don't drinking Winkle is the ar Toro Flente of
whiskey, like the Happy Van Winkle Buffalo Trace. That whole thing is like
a toe of Sichors. It's that super limited release. It gets a lot
of hype and a lot of people going nuts for it because you know,
people will tell you back in the day, they're like, oh, I
used to buy Pappy for like less than one hundred dollars a bottle, and
it was not a loved it. You know, it's great at that price,
but then it's like, look at it now, it's through the roof.
It's crazy and it's all made the place. Yeah, buffaloes. Yeah,
you guys realize when we're in dating, we're less than three hours from
that. What are you proposing, great man, Yes, I will have
I got a question, Tim, Tim, is that three hours your drive
time? Or is that three hours speed limit time? Very valid question.
I mean you know you look back when when in Florida drive like I got
it. I will be honest, but I'm in an area that I'm not
used to being in and I'm not driving my own car. I'll drive the
speed limit. I'm glad you didn't. Yeah you were driving school zone speed
limits. But son, but yeah, no, we're just teasing as him.
We're just messing with you kids school. Yeah, uh Ria joined,
what's up Ria? Down there at the bottom. But well, yeah,
I've been kind of, you know, slowly climbing back out. It's been
rough, I know that feeling. Yeah, life, life was throwing a
few things at me, so I kind of like was not really myself and
I just I just forgot to get back in things. Good. Glad to
have you. Yeah. So I lost my job last year and oh god,
that was total health. I went back to Trinidad for a little while
too, and then oh sweet, yeah I started back working this week and
then you know, I want to start making videos again. So you know,
I want to say hello and tell everybody, Remind everybody I'm still here,
still there, Okay, we will we will watch for your new videos.
Then, yes, thanks for joining tonight. Feel free to jump in.
Don't be shy. I know you're not probably won't be making any new
videos, but like you're gonna start daily vlogging. I heard. Yes,
it's actually fun. It's actually a lot of fun. I mean it's editing
is not fun. Recording of this you get really good at it. Let
me tell you, Let me tell you just two words are yeah, I'm
editing with Ai. That's a good idea if you if you have the opportunity
and you see a bottle of whistle pig, samurai scientists get that. So
I was at I was at the store today and they had two or three
uh, two or three styles of whistle pig. Whistle pig samurai scientists.
Don't blow your mind. I saw that. How much are you talking about
for? That's like four or five if you like, if you see it
at a place where you can get a sip of it or want I ounce
more of it? Like one million, the samurai scientists will knock your socks
like like everyone talks about. Yes, it's fantastic. Okay, I do
got a quick ham radio thing if I can do that? Really, if
you don't, you don't talk about yeah right, yeah, we'll talk about
ham radio for a minute. Go ahead, Josh, So, oh I
didn't size my screen? Right, hold on, let's get it. Oh,
let's get it. Oh no, you're good. Yeah, Oh there,
get it in a little shot. There's my little overleg. Good good.
It's like I'm streaming right now. So if you got if you got
nothing going on and you're in California. I will be m seeing the Visalia
DX Convention on April twelfth, thirteenth and twelve. This is actually the position
that was held by chipmar Jelly, who I feel honored to be able to
take that on too because he was a he was legitimately a friend of mine.
That is a big conference. Yeah, I was going to come out
to that this year. I actually got asked to come out and I just
couldn't work it an so I was the second resist. No, I'm just
I'm really excited to be able to do this. So this is more of
the like you come to the convention. It's a whole day event where you
go to lots of classes, particularly on you know, being active and d
X and d expeditions, being a chaser of all that. Uh, there
are you know, Allocraft will be there among many other vendors. There's a
breakfast, there's a dinner. I'll be m seeing the dinner for the awards.
I'll be there the whole weekend. We'll be making videos and stuff.
But here's the big draw. Yes, there is a cost to come to
this event. There's sure she can get and all kinds of stuff that gets
kind of baked into the cost. But this has I think the largest giveaways
of any Hamfest. They're over fifty thousand dollars of ham radio equipment. They're
giving away huge events. That is a huge Yeah, that's a big deal,
Josh getting I mean that's a huge thing. Zero an e b Yeah
wait what was that sterling go k zero any b. He's notorious for going
to Hamfest and doing the raffles. Yes, he knows how to work the
system and goes to Yuma and wins the whole thing. He goes to the
date. Well you would you like to know the secret for winning the whole
thing? You buy lots of raffles. Yeah, yeah that he did to
that kind of like our been banned now like bending cards, yeah, folding
the tickets is banned. Yeah yeah. Yeah. So anyway, if you're
going to be around that area, check out the Vicealia International DX Contest.
I'll drop the link if Jason, Yeah, yeah, please go ahead.
I wanted to go for a long time. So yeah, that's a big
conference. Yeah, this is like where the d expedition crews come to this
location, so it's it's fully international, like they do a question of like
who's come the farthest and they talk about their whole experiences. Last year was
Bouvet talking about that whole expedition and the challenges they had. This year where
we're gonna get a lot of other fun talks. So hope you come out
if you're interested in DX. So thank you. Here in Norton, California.
I've been promoting your bit with DX Convention and vicel yet because a lot
of us from NORCL go down there to also, so I've been like pushing
it left and right. Well, thank you. I appreciate that, Frank
and fifty thousand dollars in fabulous prizes at the current Amazon crisis two seven hundred
and two fang u be five hours and you'd much rather have the equipment that
they're offering. Oh yeah that any bow fex. Yeah, hey, Jason,
let me go ahead and talk about what's going on tomorrow tomorrow since yes
up here, well not since Michael Mike's up here for the Go Kit Challenge.
They're doing it for me. Actually yeah, well here is the Go
Kit Challenge. We're going to head out there. This is a rain or
shine event. That's what they told me, and I was wondering about that
because it's yeah, because the weather here kind of was up and down all
day today. True, go kitty, right, I mean you go out
shine, You're gonna make it happen. True. I wish you could make
that over at the Double Tree just south of Lake Dallas, and it's going
to be fun the Double Tree Ranch Park. It's gonna be uh eight.
How many radios is in that box. That's a lot of radios in that
first box. There's two speakers. Speaker here, speaker here. It's three
radios. That is. That's the top of the page. Right there,
he's got a FtM four hundred and nine, nine to one, and then
to the right there's another one that's that's a power supply. Yeah, no,
above it, that's a speaker. It looks funky in that picture.
Oh that's power Okay, got it, got it. That's a power supply.
With the screen to the right of the nine ninety one. You gotta
turn, by the way, if you please, everybody, if you're gonna
take a picture, you go box, turn all your crap on, yes,
for sure, all your stuff. Get the waterfall flowing, do the
whole thing so we know, right, Yeah, So we know it works.
Yeah, I'm gonna go out there in the morning. I Uh,
I was driving around today running errands, and it rained on me the whole
time, was like pouring rain. I was. I drove up to Keller
and I drove back to my mailwalks in grape Vine, drove down to Bedford.
Hold on a second, I'm talking. So So I was driving around
for a while and then I got home and I went to go let my
dogs out, and I go out in the backyard and it's freaking clear,
skuys and sunny, and I'm like, what the heck did the rain go?
Man? And then like it clouded, and I'm like, it's uh
last night, No, yeah, tornadoes last night, but well not around
here up in McKinney. But uh he didn't. Yeah, well it was
east of didn't, wouldn't it. That string of storms went from the Dallas
area all the way through Ohio Ringfield, Ohio, straight over into Ohioy.
So it's yeah, it was a weird, weird weather today because I was
like, I was driving. As soon as I got home, the rain
stopped. I'm like, thank you rain for raining on me the whole time.
But I was thinking about the Go Get Challenge tomorrow, and I'm like,
you know, I want to go to that because I'm They usually schedule
that on Hamsi weekend, so I've never been to it. Well this year
it's a different weekend, so I'm like, well, I really want to
go to that, but I don't know I'm gonna. I'm gonna say,
if it's thunderstorming in Highland Village tomorrow, I'm not going to go. Otherwise
I'll be there, but I'm on the fence as well. If it looks
good, i'm gonna track up. But otherwise we're gonna have a Chick fil
A balloon in the air during the whole thing. So y'all look to you.
This is actually a very ham radio question. We can ask obviously,
Jason, you mentioned Ham sign going out there. Are you guys prepared for
the chaos of all the travelers and people that are coming out of town to
get into the totality area. This is a big deal right now, Like
cities are going up Texas. Actually in parts of Texas they've gone full state
of emergency preparing for this. Like it's not a joke. This is like
sturg just is going along a straight line up the states. This is wild.
What's happened? Radio licenses right there was Yeah, I did a video
a while back, shortly after the AT and T outage, and uh and
some some people were commenting on just stuff. And one guy commented and he's
like, look, I worked for I think he said one of the providers.
I don't think he said who it was, and they were taught.
He was talking about setting up for that. He's like, we're we've got
to go into a town of fifty thousand people and set up for one hundred
and ten thousand people to be there using their smartphone. And that's on the
light side, and that's on the lighting Texas. Texas advertised three x population.
I know it. Yeah. So yeah, So the HAMSI conference is
what's next weekend. That's not what I'm talking about. And then HAMPSI is
sponsoring the well, they're in clips during during the totality. It's going to
be in Cleveland, the Major, the Major. Yeah, well the conference
is in Cleveland this year as well. So then so I'll be in Cleveland
next weekend for the conference. And the totality is on April eighth, It's
a Monday, and uh, and we're gonna be down in Fredericksburg, which
is about three hours south of where I'm sitting right now, and that's one
of the totality areas. Uh that's three and a half three and a halfish,
but I don't I don't know exactly, well, Fredericksburg is three and
a half. I don't know exactly where Ryan's spot is. But but yeah,
we're gonna be down there, and we're going to be on some private
land, so I'm hoping fingers priced that that we're not going to have to
deal with people parking on the side of the highway and all that kind of
crap. But yeah, I don't expect to be able to use my my
my cell phone all day. So we're gonna be on that day. Oh
cool, Well that's a good spot too. We're going to be in the
Springs Airport and there's about thirty balloons going to be in the air for the
total. What are you doing with the you stand there, what are you
doing with them? We're gonna put them all up in the air. We're
gonna fly him during the totality, and they're gonna block the view of it.
Everyone, just for the hell of it. I mean, just what
kind of payloads on it? You're gonna It's just I'm gonna have my radio
app. I'm gonna be making contacts here. What payload is on the balloons
that you're releasing? What are you doing? They're hot air balloon? So
me is the payload? Oh, I'm gonna do two meter and then I'll
probably do some meat cheff. Are you are you doing like a data mode
so that the data would be captured and you can correlate it later. I'm
gonna I'm gonna video it doing. Yeah, So you should probably watch Jason's
videos about Hamside because they're going to talk about particular modes of data transmissions that
you might want to do during this time so they can sure it and that
are that are doing that are doing that? Can you give me their number,
I'll talk to them. I'll tell you, Yeah, I'll call they
want to. They came to make a little comment, make a little side
comment, you know. I in twenty seventeen when we had our clips here,
I also did uh. I did one of my hand radio videos that
I thought was gonna be a banger but totally was a flop. In twenty
seventeen and Anna Illinois. I did uh Missouri or not Misseruri. I did
the solar clips QSO party on Whisper and I did some FT eight and this
and that video was a flop but it was cool. But guess what next
year, the totality is yet again in an Illinois So imagine the imagine the
confluence, like the what is the like here near Saint Louis. You can
go to the place where the solar clips happened twice within all lifetime. But
I'll be doing the same kind of thing. I don't know if I'm in
a Steel Kyle radio, but I'll do some Whisper and have it. Yeah,
I'm not gonna for the last totalitary when it was there, that was
funny. The town I live in is in the fatality and it oh yeah,
yeah, you're talking about that. They've shut the schools down yea and
everything. And so we're we're right on the interstate between Indianapolis and Bloomington.
So same kind of thing. They expect a million people to be here or
whatever whatever it is. So then it's gonna be it's gonna be crazy.
But I'm gonna run. I'm gonna run whisper here in the house and just
just let it run. And I'm gonna go Wrisper and uh probably run J
sixty or j G sixty five ft eight or ft four ft eight from from
the park for a poda or so we're gonna do. I'm gonna do sideband.
But during the like fifteen twenty miss for the eclipse, I'll probably kick
on ft A. Just run through the topality bonus points if you get it
eighty or one sixty, because one sixty would be fun. Yes, that
would be That's a good idea. I didn't think about that. That's great.
If you're doing that, make sure you check that little box that says
report your information to the air. Please do that because this is what they're
scraping for information during that time period that they're going to use for science.
So what modes are they actually everything whisper and F anything that is sticky.
Anything that's sticky you can pull data from F eight. But if you think
about this in a in a stem sense, right, we're the sensors.
We're literally in our stations. However they're set up that how they're set up
with antenna's all that stuff that the variety of that is, you know,
something that's considerable but not important. In this case, we're the sensor that
is either sending out data or receiving data. We need to make sure we
get that data uploaded to the Internet. So if you are planning to go
to a really nice field out in the middle of nowhere, that's great,
but you may not have the best internet access, so at least make sure
you know, however, you can try and have that active Internet connection so
you can upload it coming up on March. But well, and they've got
they've got monitoring stations to that are monitoring a chef though. Yeah, but
but but that again, that's that's physically local, right, and so that
doesn't describe differences in propagation if they can't hear the station, right, Yeah,
well it's it's it's it's local as far as chef is local. Like
I can I can F T eight all over the country. But the but
the you say, well, you say have a data, you say have
a data and that's a great idea. But we just got through talking about
three x the number of people on four G and five G that week to
you know, I mean, so great idea if it works. You have
data. If you can have data, please do. If you can't,
don't go kill your neighbors. I think. I think. Yeah, Mark
Wolf was out there saying star Wolf starlink rather, I oh, I like
that. It wasn't really star Wolf. It's everything, Elon. Isn't you
actually provide on all his promises? Yeah? Uh, you're you're such an
Elon Hayter. But uh yeah, but uh it's uh, I will,
I will have my starlink out there because we'll be in the r V.
So that's a good idea. So yeah, well we'll have that run in
and that would be great for that honestly, yeah, I on that.
That'd be great in the middle of nowhere. That's perfect. Yeah, that's
what's important. Bottom line. So hamside dot org slash s e q P
dash rules. There is a q s O party like yes, yeah,
yes, just afterwards if you if you watch in my channel at all,
Sterling, you would know that already. But yes, I already know that
because I'm inside. No, you've never seen you there. I've never seen
you at the conference, buddy. Well uh so yeah, no, no,
no, yeah, yeah, you're I'm messing with you, Sterling.
But yeah, obviously, yes, there is a solar eclipse q so O
party s q P. They did it for the eclipse last October whenever that
was, but that wasn't a totalent totality eclipse. This April next in like
three weeks is a total eclipse. So they're really wanting to get you out
and get get you on the air for that. But yeah, I h
during the cut right, a complete eclipse of the heart. Absolutely the uh.
I could post links in your chat, I'd post my video that I
did. Hold on a second, where are you type something in the chat?
I'll blue you for that. I thought clips video is labeled what do
you do? I didn't say it. I didn't say it who I was
thinking it, But I didn't say it. I got it. I got
it, Sterling if you have if you're if you're a mod, Sterling,
you can't. I thought you were mod in my channel, but maybe you're
not. But it it didn't say I couldn't post a link, so I
did post a video. You could post a U r L if you're a
mod. Yeah, So here you go. The signs guys today, I'm
just speaking channel clips cookies. I'll give it another not not in the not
in the zoom chat, in the YouTube chat. He just he just posted
something in the in the YouTube, did he yep, yeah, not a
wrench, But there you go. I don't see it. It's right above
Josh's comment here. It didn't come through on my side. Then how about
that. You can't miss it. I'll just post it, Okay, I'll
just post it. Yeah, I think i'm blacklist cha. Yeah, you
probably are black I probably didn't black at one point. I don't know.
I can't. I can't see sterlings. But you probably need to go to
a view instead of might filter it. Yeah, there's a there's a tragic
underserving of thumbs up at this point. So if you can serve them up,
serve those thumbs up, because there's like people watching. Come on,
you're right, Frank. I usually I have it. I have it,
I have it defaulted for all by default. But you're right. It changed
it to the top chat this time. Hold on? Can you see that
again? That Frank was right first time tonight. Frank is right. That's
all right. Down to this video immediately. Yeah, exactly, make this
intro right, I'm blue inch now you got it now, Bud? Yeah,
there you go, all right, that's the solar party video that I
thought was going to be like the Casey and I set of Ham Radio.
But no, but wait, who is this? What are we talking about?
No? I made it so I watched a lot of Casey Ice that
during the hit that thing. I was daily. I was daily vogging for
six while you were daily vogging. I was like, I'm gonna be like
that. So I made a daily vlog sque style Casey and Ice at s
style of the twenty seventeen solar clips. And it was like, I put
so much work into that video and you've heard about it. You all have
heard about this, and it like, yeah, what how many views does
they have right now? Like seven hundred? You could total clips of the
video. OHI on the link and then go go tells the story. But
it doesn't like cap sure you know, but I already had given that video
of thumbs up. I just clicked on it, and I had already given
it a thumbs up, and now you took it away. Make it go
back. Just something I've already seen about the eclipse. Just go do it
because you're only going to get less than three interred views. Yeah, I'm
going to go and experience it because it's a once actually was a lifetime now
because it's not going to happen again, it's within the continental United States.
I think that that is a fantastic point. Frank, that is a really
good point. Is that not in our lifetime we're going to have an access
like this. So this is actually something even travel wise, if you can't
fly on a plane, getting into the totality area is something you can only
experience this once in your lifetime, your kids' lifetime potentially. This is actually
a big deal as far as stem greens are concerned. Yeah, totally.
Yeah. Some of what's really cool is a couple of the airlines right that
are planning flights where you can fly along the path and get like the maximum
totality experience camera from the windows in your in your play, the people on
the left, people on the left extra for the on the other side,
discount extra extra dollars for the vomit comet. Oh, could you imagine totality,
and then they fly back the other way in totality. Because it's a
plane, it can go fast, so like each side gets an equal amount
of time. You have to turn that plane around in two minutes, though,
I think totality is only four minutes long. No, you're in a
five hundred miles an hour in the direction of the sun. You can they
fly with the path. Oh, I see what you're backround. I see
what you're saying. We have totality. We have Dallas to Pittsburgh, we
have Austin to Indiana, and we have Saint Louis to Houston. I think
how many how many tickets do you have left on those planes, Shane,
I have not. Probably the only one who's capable of seeing the totality twice
is actually Taylor Swift. Right, because played time that you headed back at
the same time, you can go forward and back in time. Yeah,
if you got lucky enough, you got on the raffle for the Southwest flight
that is designed to go no way any was it Houston? Yeah, Houston
Hobby back to Houston Hobby, and they follow the path. That's the one
where it's like, wow, for the eclipse. That's three of them that
are for the eclipse. That's funny. I mean it's funny. It's cool,
but it's funny. Yeah, absolutely, So Okay, well, yeah,
everyone get on the air during that time for sure. This would be
a time where if you're a single sideband operator or a CW guy and you
don't ever connect your computer, you know whatever, connect your computer up to
your radio and do FTA, do whisper would be great. And if and
all your single sideband CW guys that do one sixty sixty meters all that stuff,
the hot the lower bands get on those bands during the totality, I
think it's going to be really cool to see what happens. I think it's
gonna be great. Yeah, just said, do you do the adding of
the computer to the radio before please? Yeah, When you do it,
it'll be easier to see in the daylight. And don't let frank your computer.
Yes, yes, Frank. That that that Frank. Yeah, also
yeah, that Frank. If you're gonna look at the sun, you might
want to get some glasses. That's probably one of the things you want to
do. The safety squints don't work for this, well, you can try
only totality. Please please do go get your glasses like now though, because
remember the last time we did the eclipse and then they had those counterfeit Amazon
glasses that did do anything. People look directly into the side and burnt their
don't there's a sun don't make sure you make sure the glasses you I don't
say bow fang on them, but it says u V. It says u
V. Yeah, bow fang u V. You five are you can you
can look at you can look at the sun five x times with the U
five x with your right or with your don't don't squirt sun block into your
eyes either. There's there will be a word a news news reel on that
one, probably so that reminds me of the meme I said that I saw
that said, uh, fifty years ago, your owner's manual of your car
told you how to change the the the valves and the heads, and today
it told you not to drink the break fluid. Yeah. If you gotta
drink the break fluid, chase it with the tide pod please. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, totally. Yeah. I like the red anti freeze dogs.
Yeah, that's good. Uh, Jay, I was gonna say this
earlier. We were talking about that, Uh that d excamn you're m seeing
Josh, but quirky q r P. James said he's gonna probably be there.
Oh that's awesome, that's gonna be great. Yeah, I mean that's
that's just right down the road for him. Yeah yeah, yep, so
that'd be cool. Well, Jens, I need to bow out. I
gotta go take the dog outs and do some some things around the casa.
But it's been a pleasure hanging out with you guys. Good to see.
Shame good. Not sorry sorry that you if you come over to the Chick
fil A where we're flying the balloon, I mean, go get out.
I'm sorry that. I'm sorry that you can't play in Dallas. Yeah.
Yeah, there's only one of them, so yeah, uh so, yeah,
Shane, I'm sorry you can't make it to the More Expo though.
I'm highly upset about that. Jason, how many people do we have coming
to that? I was also trying to angle that and I couldn't make it
work. I'm sorry. I was Bud. That's right, all right,
Shane, thanks man man, all right, you have a good night.
Let's see. So, Kyle, to answer your question, it's going to
be me and Rob and Frank in my truck and uh my brother is going
to follow us out there in his jeep. And since Shane's not going,
Tim's gonna meet us there. Freddy's gonna meet us there. Who else?
Bill Ham Radio Tech Time Bill will be there? Uh huh, he said,
he was, Yeah, now I want to come. There's for you,
James Ham radio adventure guy. Right, yeah, yeah, I haven't.
I'm told he was. I think he's gonna be there, but I
haven't heard back a confirmation about that, but I guess he's gonna be there.
It is. Hold on. It is the third weekend of April April.
We're gonna leave here. We're gonna leave here in my house on Wednesday
the seventeenth, and we're gonna drive. It's only like six hour drive,
it's not very far. And then we're gonna get there that night and camp
and then we're going to camp through Sunday, so we'll come home probably probably
come home on Sunday. Yeah, I am looking forward to that. It's
gonna be free. So so we're gonna do probably on let me think,
let me look here, I think on Sunday. I think on April fourteenth,
So the Sunday before my live stream that night topic will be more expo
and I've got a couple guests to bring on, among which is Steve from
Alpha Antenna's He's going to attend the show and have a booth for Alpha Antenna's
at the at the More Expo. Smart, yes, smart, and apparently
he He says he contacted the CEO of I guess he lives out there.
I guess he's insane. I think he's in Missouri, somewhere in Springfield.
He is he in spring Okay, Well, he acted like he knew the
CEO where he's like, oh, yeah, I contacted blah blah blah,
and I'm like, oh, okay, really cool. So uh oh,
there's Bill in the chat. Uh yeah, cold scheduled today to make sure
got the dates worked out. Yep. So so Bill's gonna be there,
but yeah, Steve from Alpha Intenna's going to be there. He's got a
booth he said we could set up in his booth. I signed up to
teach my claud to do my forum again, which is basically just uh Ham
radio versus everything. It's basically radio, just a radio form. I kind
of compare Ham radio to GMRS two CB. And it's not it's not a
hey, we're better than you type thing. It's it's here's there's usefulness to
everything, and here's the usefulness of all services, that kind of thing,
same thing. I've done it for the last two years, so it's it's,
uh, I've upgraded a little bit, but not much, just kind
of the same thing. But but yeah, so we're gonna have a freaking
cool Ham radio presence at that event this year. So it's it's gonna be
fun. And there's like twenty photoparks within a reasonable drive even with me driving
a reasonable amount. And there's a new BUCkies in Springfields, is there really?
Yeah, just built it brand new, the latest Bucky is built.
Mike. Mike was concerned because I'm not taking my RV's like I got want
to go. But I bet Mike would sleep at the BUCkies. He probably
want to go. Now I know where I'm going to. The back's tempting.
I got my wife thinking about going to Huntsville because the BUCkies. Everybody's
seriously, that is the thing that's going to draw her out to freaking Huntsville.
She should totally cut my wife's My wife's coming again this year. It's
awesome. Yeah, remember the game. That's awesome, But you know,
we got to drag the kids. It's got to be all sciencey and all
that stuff. I was like, babe, we already Rocket Center is amazing.
I could take them through this whole thing. We'd spend hours doing it.
You can spend it at least days early spend at least a half half
a day and the well a half a day you could splin at the planet
arium and then the other time you could. It's going to take you about
about a day and a half to walk through the new Gigackpart store now,
so hey, yeah go fifty facility there, Steve So Steve when when somebody
asked you for something at the new store and you're like, oh, you
know what, We're gonna have to go in the back, and you know,
and then and they're like and then they come back, is somebody looking
for it? And you're like, yes, we have top men looking for
if you if you need Google Maps to get through gigaparts, you got you
got a big store, that's right. Yeah. They have a people mover
like a slow tram that takes you through the house. There's your radio,
that's my radio, right, yeah, yeah, that's it. I never
thought now I've never been to h R Oh if I stepped in there,
all that would be a World War three. But no, they welcome you
with OVID arms. But we're all depends on the store. Are we going
to be the first amateur radio store with shopping carts? Is it the time
where you have to put a quarter in? No, put a boat bang
in, put a bow fang in. Yes, you trade a bow fang
for a shopping cart when you walk in the door. Yeah, you got
that. What you do? What you do, Steves. You go down
to your local Walmart. You hire the greeter in there that's sitting there,
this ninety seven years old. You bring him over and you say trade everyone,
and he's just yeah, And he's just sitting on his scooter, on
his hand benched scooter right there inside the door. And he hands you the
keys to a cart when he hands you when you hand him a bowfang,
he just yells at you. That's all he does. He just hangs up.
He's not high enough. He asked you a subtle question that just rates
you on your brings up. A good question because this store is so big,
are you going to have the little hover rounds like they have a hamfests
for everyone to get around? Don't give Robbie that idea. Yeah, you
should be able to bring a great idea, not a segue. I know,
yeah, breaks their head open. Think about this, Steve. You
have a series of mobile you know, carts like scooters, right, yeah,
but then you outfit them with the latest mobile ham radio technology on the
cart, fully integrated mobile antenna, mobile radio and so they could like they're
they're playing with the radio as they stroll around. That's that is. That
is a recipe for disaster you'll never get And let's let's they'll be checking in
next. They'll be reprogramming like constantly. Yeah, like when you go to
the shoe store excuse me, and you're like, uh, I'm gonna wear
these out. They'll drive the new mobile radio out. Yeah, yeah,
absolutely. I mean you have a for sale sign on the back of the
mobile radio station saying you can buy this station and that's right to the laminated
card power. Yeah yeah, powered by bio. Oh that's right. Yeah,
it'd be great. I like Steve. Steve's non plus by this look
at his face. Yeah, yes, you need to invite us next marketing,
You guys don't have to market Steve. Let me the YouTuber step in
here. Yeah all right, yeah, we help you please. We're very
good let us help you. Yeah, we're very good at spending your money,
Steve spending Robbie's money. Can you just imagine cannibal remote control shopping cards
controlled over the arden mesh netbarwork. That's great. Can you imagine that whiteboard
of that uh that's planning or that's brainstorming, marketing meeting. It's just the
wild ass ideas that are on that board. Gosh, that would be what
would find the Philadelphia you know meme with the guy that's got the whiteboard.
He's like, oh yeah, that's Steve on the whiteboard, Like, we
gotta do this right, yeah, oh boy, okay, well it is
ten to twenty here already. Yeah, we started an hour later because I've
got a thing on Friday nights this quarter until like June, I think,
so I'm probably gonna have to do my happy hours later till June, and
then we'll see where it goes from there. But it is. I do
appreciate you guys hanging with me. I hope you guys on the West Coast
had a little bit easier time getting in tonight because it was not as early
for you on a Friday, almost eight thirty here, it feels good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah totally. So all right, let's go around the
room real quick before we shut it down. I'm gonna start at the bottom.
Rob, I don't think I welcomed you because you joined a little bit
late. So what's going on with Ham Radio today for you? Well,
I'm expecting to do the go kit challenge cool mar so hopefully if the rain
holds off, looking forward to that. I just shared a video this week
about my new linear satellite rig. So it's kind of a sneak peek showing
how I'm using an SDR running on my phone for the receive. So if
you haven't checked that out, please check that out. I also wanted to
share you guys can drink your pickle beer right eighteen. Yeah, that's good.
That's good. That is good stuff. Yeah, you're right. Hey,
Rob shared. Rob shared something on Twitter a couple of days ago,
maybe it was even a day ago. Rob had a new goat And what
did you name the new goat? Yeah? So this goat has ears that
are just perpendicular to its head. So I had to call it dipole.
Right, it just looks like because you're just damn that's great. Oh my
god. So Rob we need to throw that goat in the back of the
truck before we drive to Dayton this year, and he can be our official
mascot at Dayton. Imagineat We've got We've got parrots, we've got ducks,
we got Oh boy, that's great, awesome. Thanks for doing tonight,
Rob, appreciate it. You've got a lot of fun. Yeah, hey,
Ria, what's going on with you? You said you're going to start
making videos again. Get anything in mind? Yeah, I have a few
things. So having an interview with one of the Solar eclipsed people, actually
that I did, it's quite an interesting interview. So I'm gonna have that
up. Don't talk about that a little bit. I know you're going to
have pside conference. I have a couple other interviews I've done, and I
just started a school club in my kids' school, Ham Radio Club and go
nice the real thing about that, as well as another school I'm working with,
you know, knad of Steve Steve good game, have all the fun,
you know, agreed? Agreed. Yeah, And I'm still doing a
radio show, doing lots of great things, and you know, so that's
what's keeping me busy. That's that's definitely but yeah, those videos are going
to go up soon. Oh there is one the radio Instoul in my car
Tesla, So I'm gonna talk about that and some unique things I did with
that because it is it is different. Oh yeah, I imagine. Yep,
okay, cool. I look forward to seeing that. Thanks really appreciate
you being here. Thank you, Frank. I think it's your first time
here. I know, well, not you, Frank, It's been a
while. But yeah, k n l W that's going on. Thank Probably
not you tonight, Yeah, at least not yet. Uh, not much
going on here. I have a few videos coming out, as I mentioned
on I think on Kyle stream there towards the end part of the Tuesday night
lineup with Freddy and gray Man Poda Tim there and we have a great series
every week right before Ham Radio Clubhouse starts and I'm gonna be uh putting out.
I have six videos lined up, so I have the next six weeks
of videos all ready to go and just waiting for the weeks to come up.
And you can catch me with the after chat with Josh on his channel
on Saturday nights. I'm in there hanging out a lot too. I learned
that not much else and uh, Mike, I hey for having me Jason,
Yeah, you bet man appreciate what's your favorite train? Oh geez,
it's my favorite train up eight four four the steam Engine from UH Union Pacific.
But of course I've seen it. That's great almost daily. Nice all
right, I'm okay, Well thanks thanks, totally different training. You're talking
about something else. Watch watch out, Freddie Mack your next buddy. Hey,
I had a video drop today. Uh you know, I'm Freddie Mack
and I have an addiction for c c R radios. I get on UH
and and All the Express occasionally and see something that really strikes my eye.
And I did a review today on a micro mini mobile call. The brand
name is Herry hero yas really very Japanese. It's a train wreck really is
totally of a radio. Yeah, I think it's a Japanese name, but
it's made in China ironically, so nonetheless you got to see that's very totally
went sideways on me. So but been messing with the all Scan, like
I was saying at the end of Josh's Life livestream, having a lot of
fan with fun with that. But I met up with a guy November one,
Alpha Charlie Chart. His name is Howard Quimby. He's out of Virginia.
He made a little alteration, made his own little page, but you
can also embed it into the all Scan main page. So if you're running
to dv switch server on your all Star node to do cross mode to analog
to digital, if you do that on DMR, he's got a little ad
on there that were that allow you to change the taut groups on the fly.
You can even do it on your phone through an interface. You set
it up right. It's you know, it's not for everybody, but it's
an it's a nifty little dingus, as the man would say. So two
of that. It's coming out Tuesday night on the playlist that Frank mentioned.
So working cool, having a lot of fun, good good, okay,
cool, Thanks for being here. A man, I, Kyle and I
have talked about a little bit about all Scan. That's something I want to
put on my server once we get it upgraded to two dot zero. Yes,
so we gotta we got to get the upgrade done and then and then
supermind slash all Scan. It'll be another live stream, so I might pick
your brain about that in the future. A buddy of mine down in South
Texas. He runs all scanning it and gave me, showed it to me,
I don't know, six months ago or something. I'm like, man,
this is pretty cool. Yeah, yeah, it looks great, great,
cool, thanks man, thanks for being here. All right, Steve.
So starting Monday, right, starting Monday? Cool? Well, I
will be there on Monday and then we're gonna do a tour on Tuesday.
In my live stream on Wednesday. So my tour is just I think I'm
just gonna record some video, but because I can't be there on freaking Saturday
because I'm gonna be in Cleveland. But but yeah, birthday live stream on
Wednesday. So looking forward to giving y'all's studio there run for its money and
see see how well it does. What's the internet situation at the building?
Completely attenuated? Surprisingly, I know, I know there's fiber I must I
would to go with good good wireless should be melting the fillings in your teeth.
There. The amount of cameras and I think a lot of RFI in
that warehouse. M well, my last man's standing warehouses. I think Wow,
I was gonna say, I think the tech services guys said today total
cable run through the building, Ethernet, you name it. I think came
too close to seventeen miles. Wow, oh wow, that's impressive. So
you know, you gotta think that's network drops. The cameras registers, the
drops in the radio section, cameras well, the photography cameras, the drops
for the classroom, the video room, the goofy bathrooms. I'm just gonna
go with cameras in the goofy. What's going on in the bathroom, cameras
in the bathroom, in the bathroom, let Jason record the bathroom situation and
just if he desires to talk about it, internet connected bedets, what's going
on there? Maybe stat reporting, Maybe maybe there's maybe you guys have you
guys are all twisted in the way you think, and I'm right there with
you. But maybe he's got TVs behind the mirrors in the bathrooms and it's
something that's actually useful. There's cameras in the bathroom. There's cameras or there's
cameras in the bathrooms. I don't know. Loss prevention, all right,
yeah, loss prevention. No, this t X ten was in my pants?
What I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, pants walked in this
way this is how I came here. You don't do this, You're just
happy to see right right? All right? I bet it's a go kit.
Yeah, go kit. Oh boy, all right, Steve, we'll
see you next week, buddy. I'm looking forward to it. It's gonna
be epic, I'm sure, yep. So thanks for being here tonight,
Steve, Tim you're next. Man. What's going on? Not not much?
Been been playing with this little thing here behind me, the the jill,
whatever the heck it is. Yeah, kind of kind of interesting.
I've got it running on an Amazon or an Amazon on a Raspberry Pie and
piping it into my computer so I can just have it up when I need
it. So kind of interesting. H got a surey note all the pieces
together for that, So all star good and I'm sure it'll be addictive and
Freddie Mack will be getting phone calls from me convenient too, so yeah.
Yeah, server for three one three six. Everyone should join it, yes,
sir, that's where we hang. So yeah, cool man, Well,
thanks for being here, and uh, look forward. I'm sure.
I'm sure we'll talk between now and then, but I look for I'm glad
you're going to the MORE Expo with this. It's it's gonna be fun.
It's gonna be really fun. Yeah, totally cool. Thanks man, Josh,
you've you can have a few minutes if you want. I know you
talked about a lot of stuff already, but go ahead. Yeah. Uh
so I'm gonna be doing a live stream with Cam for a c K tomorrow.
We're gonna be talking about the cutting edge of Ham radio projects. You
know, he's always into really fun stuff. But but where's where's my?
Uh? Where's my? But that's what I want to talk about. I
want to talk about this, this steam locomotive. This looks like it came
right out of a Wild West shoot, like this could have been on Tombstone.
This is awesome. This thing's looking back, look at the sheeting on
the side. I'm with you, man, Frank, You're now my favorite
locomotive as well. So thanks for you know, watching Jason and that in
that happy Hour and all that stuff. Really do appreciate you guys taking out
the time. So seventy three to everybody. Yeah, thanks man, thanks
for being here. Mike, you're at Frank's place, aren't you. I
am, And I've had a G ninety would tune up that locomotive just fine
too, it would that you're right, yep. So I'm tired. I
drove all day, well most of the day because traffic sucked today. But
I got to do a poda. But I need to I need to re
put some screws in my Diamond K four hundred mountcas. My atoss wasn't tuning
very well. I put new screws in because the ones that came with it
got stripped. So I went to ACE Hardware and got some but they're like
just I don't know whatever kind of metal rusts, so they're resting now.
So I wasn't getting a good tune. I got tuned up on twenty great,
but then it kind of died out for me and tried different bands and
it wouldn't tune, and so I got to fix that. But that'll take
all about three minutes. I've got a I've got a really cool battery from
uh no way impossible, I know, right, How does the smoke and
ape say at ridodio. It's a couple extra letters, ridotto. It's uh
so like everybody's worried about, like lithium iron phosphate batteries with low temperature charging
protection. But low temperature charging protection is great. It prevents you from charging
the battery when it's cold. What if you need to charge your battery this
thing, right, which probably happens a lot. Yeah, so this one,
this one actually is self heating when you plug a charger into it and
it's below Are they doing that now? That's yeah, I've had that.
I've had that for a few months. It's below zero degrees or zero degrees
celsius below, it's shut up, right and it doesn't start charging again until
it gets to five degrees celsius. That's pretty impressive. Awesome. Reenergy has
one like that too. They're pretty cool. Yeah, so this is this
is pretty cool it and it just charges it up and I've done a couple
of charge cycles on it. I gotta do one more and then I actually
have to, you know, film a video for it. But I'll be
doing that. I'll probably do a couple more videos on the fifty because there's
really not a lot of videos on that radio. And I am absolutely in
love because of Digital Rancher. It's all his fault. It is just I
love it. I love it. I've got I've got a cool new antenna.
Imagine that from Australia called a mad dog antenna. It's a it's just
another coil antenna, but it's pretty neat, really really good quality. Is
it kind of like an outbacker? Uh no, it's it's it's wolf he
coils, but it has like a solid metal foiler. Oh gotcha, gotcha.
So it's like our ham's old enough to know the outbacker in this chat,
like Jason, isn't it the taps? Yeah yeah that's a funny Oh
yeah yeah of course, yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
the better route. I know that you've been around longing enough know about the
outbacker. Yeah. It's a great antenna too. I mean there's a lot
of love it. Yeah. No, this is just a it's just a
coil that you you you know, slide you slide up and down the collar.
