Sorry, I don't have any pickle beer tonight, buddy, but I
appreciate you being here tonight. So so what do you guys? What are
you guys looking for anything specific? Robert just bought a new I say new,
a new Olcraft K one and those are rare. So what what are
you guys looking for anything specific at all? For the for the deals that
are upcoming or have actually started already. Honestly, go ahead, Rob,
Well, I am looking for some I guess camping stuff. So I've got
I've got like a backpacking tent, and I've got sleeping bags, I've got
sleeping pads. I've got lots of stuff for throwing it on your back and
going for a hike. But I don't have a lot of stuff for throwing
it in the car and being able to take advantage of car camping. So
I am considering a larger tent and I might even might even go with a
cot if I can find one of those extra larg So do you do you
when you say okay, so a backpacking tent is something I don't personally own
that I need to pick up. I mean I don't need it, but
if I found a good deal in when I grab it. But but when
you say larger ten or you want something that's that's just put in your pickup
truck and go, or what are you looking at there? Yeah, I'm
uh, you know, you guys have been talking up those Gazelle tents and
uh yeah, I've started looking at him. They're pretty nice. They they're
pretty nice. Yeah, yeah, they're nice. Uh, that's what we'll
be using next April at more Expo. Frank just bought one. I don't
think he's used it yet. So Kyle and I are both used one.
We each have one. We had four of those or three of them set
up at the campsite last last April. So yeah, those and I have
a cotton. The reason you said cotton, I thought, oh, wait
a minute, so you're looking for a bigger tent. I have a I
have their T three, their three person tent, which is okay. I
was curious which one you had. I had the T three and then three
person intenting terms means like a person and a half with you, Robert,
that means like three quarters of a person. But I mean I fit in
there just fine. I mean I have no bra I have a cot,
I have a little night stand. I have my bags in the corner,
a bunch of stuff over here. I have plenty of room the T three.
But they have a T four and a T five. They're a little
bit bigger. So but yeah, they're they're great. I really like mine.
I've got their gazebo and their their T three, and I really like
both of them. Well, they've got one. I think it's the T
four plus that looks like it has a vestibule along with it. M that
looks really slick. That's you know, and it is a little bigger.
Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about with those tents. I've got
a three person backpacking tent, right, It's like a five pound backpacking tent
and it's it's a digital rancher only tent. Right, there's no three people
in this right right, Yeah, I'll get you on that one. So
but yeah, they've been running spe you know, I'm on their email at
Gazelle Ten's, I'm on their email list, and they've been running specials since
Halloween basically, So get on their email list and just keep looking at the
sales they keep doing. As my suggest, if that's what you end up
wanting to go with, it's really slick looking. I do have a question
if you know, do you know what they mean by their gosh, what
do they call it? They've got like a special edition. It's an overlanding
edition, overland edition. Yeah, so generally speaking, there's usually that means
it comes in a waterproof bag instead of a non so you can like strap
it to a roof rack or to a bedrack or something. There's one other
thing, depending on which model that they that they sometimes included overland editions,
and I think it kind of depends on which model is. Like, the
overland edition of my gazebo comes with rain flaps built in. Now you could
buy the if you don't have the overland edition, you can buy the rain
flaps and put them on later. But the one I got came with a
waterproof bag and the rain flaps already there so that you didn't have to add
anything to and it has the vestibule as well as well. The other thing
I was really impressed with is they're reasonably priced. You know, when you
start looking at those high quality tents, those suckers get expensive really quick.
Yes, and these look like they're quality materials, but you know, good
value for the money. Yes, I agree, I agree. I mean
the first time I met those we were at I was with Giga Parts at
the Overland Expo East show in Virginia in twenty twenty one end of twenty twenty
one, and they had a big display out there and this this this girl
that was out there. She's the sales rep and they and they had just
they had like three models out there, but she would set one up in
literally like sixty seconds. She's like, okay, here it is, unzipped
the bag and it was done. And I'm like, okay, you've you've
done this before. Obviously you know, somebody new might not do it quite
that bad. But it takes less than five minutes to set the thing up.
I mean they're they're they pop up really quick and they're uh and I
so I started looking at the price tags. I like, I bet these
things are like fifteen hundred dollars, but no, they they're not. They're
very reasonably priced in my opinion. So, yeah, what they are.
I think I can almost stand up in it, right, I think they're
like six or five, which is some of them are. Yeah, yeah,
yes, yeah, I mean I can stand for yeah, the T
four Okay, okay, I can stand up in mind. But you know,
I'm I'm not I'm not that tall. But yeah, yeah, no,
it's it's it's all. It's all good. It's all good. But
uh yeah it's but I do have to I do have to duck to get
into it though. The little zipper on the side is the door is kind
of kind of a challenge to get into, or it can be. But
uh but yeah, that's that's it's. They're they're good. I like them.
I like mine. I've had really good luck with it. And uh,
I didn't get the Overlanded. When I bought my T three, it
was brand new. There was no such things the overland Edition. They have
those now, so I just went out and bought a a proof bag for
it so that I could throw it in the back of the pickup truck and
not have to worry about it being waterlogged when I got to wherever I was
going. So I saw they had those as an accessory. Yeah, yes,
yes, correct, yep. So yeah, so I'm looking for one
of those and a cot. Right. It's sleeping pads are great, but
getting off the ground is yes, matter, yes, agreed, agreed.
Yeah, I just got the Amazon Special cot. I don't even remember what
kind it is. It's like a twenty five dollars cod or something like that,
and I've used it four or five times. It's been great every time,
so I just you know, and it packs down really small. I
keep it with a little camp chair and and and a little one of those
roll top tables that packs down really small. I keep those three things in
my truck, and then I just when I want to go use the tent,
I keep the tent at home in the garage, I just throw it
in the back of the truck and I've got everything else in the truck already,
So it works out works out well that way. But yep, that's
good. Well for anyone wanting. Now, this is not a sponsored thing,
this is something I found earlier today, But for anyone wanting Chameleion Antenna's
they they just started. Uh actually, oh, it didn't look like it
started yet. I wonder if that means October twenty second. I got an
email from them earlier today and it says twenty five percent off Black Friday twenty
five all caps for twenty five percent off of Chamelion Intenna stuff. Now,
this sign here says November twenty second through November twenty ninth, so perhaps it
hadn't started yet, because today's only the twelfth, but a million week.
Yeah, week after I got it, I got their email. Actually I
thought I think I saw on Instagram. I think I actually got both.
I think I got email and Instagram and uh, and they were talking about
twenty five percent off. So yeah, Chamelion intendas dot com. No special
code or well, no special code for me or anything. They've got their
coupon right there on the front page. So that's that's where where they're going
there. That's a that's a bargain, that's a chunk of change. I
mean, when you're talking about a four or five four or five hundred dollars
intenna system, which some of their stuff is. Yeah, that's a chunk
of change. So yeah, that's not that's not bad. Yeah. Most
of what you see is like five or ten percent sower is like damn,
I don't really need one, but right right, yeah, yeah, I'm
the same way. Soing's going on, y'all? What's up? Frank Brown?
I have audio audio? Can you hear me? Yeah? You're good?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah. Huh So I'm hanging out with all my friends.
Now I could pour so whiskey. Oh there you go, oh there.
Because Gigabarts was on there, the Gigabarts on there, and I was
being respectful and having fun. I did tease out like I think the next
stream we're going to open this and do a live tasting and see my reaction.
But how's it going, man? How are y'all doing right? Yeah?
I'm doing good. I was sitting in the deer blind this morning,
so I'm not doing that good right now, but feeling it. I uh
yeah, yeah, no, man, that wouldn't much move this morning.
I saw some movement yesterday morning and last night, and this morning it was
slow, nice, nice weather, forty six degrees this morning. That's the
coldest it's been since opening weekend. I mean that's not cold really, but
that's the coldest it's been since opening weekend. So they haven't really started to
move around a whole lot out here because they're all hitchhiking really every every Yes,
I can't go to work in the morning or come home at night without
yeah, three or four, I'm standing outside of the road waiting to jump
out. Yeah, yeah, I saw one. I saw one walking down
the outside the off the shoulder of the highway as I was driving home today,
packed up everything in the truck. Dogs in the back of the truck.
I'm doing seventy miles an hour. Oh there's a dough right there,
so yeah, I know what you got. We've got a bunch that we
practically hand feed out by the barn. They come out every night for dinner.
And the last few days there's been a nice six point, nice sturdy,
six point, really heavy rack who's been coming out checking out the girls,
and uh, you know he's he's uh, he's busy. Put it
that way. Yeah, I saw a spike chasing a dough yesterday one And
I think the ruts just about to set in if it's if it's not just
started. But yeah, yeah they're gonna be out chasing chasing doe is the
polite way to put it here, uh right in the next over the next
week or so. So if you're gonna be out there, that's the time
to do it. Super chat TC fits super chat. Thank you for the
second super chat also up there earlier. Tits Yeah, yeah, it was
his third. Yeah. He gave three dollars extra for Jim being here.
He said, so there you go right right exactly and then uh kao Mike
ko four PD I out there with the five dollars super chat. Thanks guys,
appreciate you all support tonight's super Chad. He just did it was for
Frank's whiskey because I just finished the four pulled that away, So so I
had to go to the old Foster's nineteen twenty two or yeah, nineteen twenty
wow, And it's tough. I have Buffalo trace down here. I haven't
opened yet, got a home, just keeps pulling them out. Just got
a whiskey cabinet underneath the last corner here Red Redwood Empire. Usually it's the
last quarter. I try to drink it all, because that's when it starts
aging rapidly, you know. That's that's all kind of what I have.
I have this one over here too. I did remove a lot of the
empty bottles, and I think the recycling man was looking at me kind of
weird when he picked up the recycling. Then it was all for you,
right right right. Yeah, that's where I drunk all those over a course
of a year. Yeah, yeah, Frank, sure, Uh, Jim,
what are you look at? Are you looking for anything specific or what?
Uh? Coax in the D seventy five Maybe coax? Yes, D
seventy five. I'm waiting to see when that's supposed to come out. So
I heard somebody sent me a message the other day. I think it was
on Discord. It might have been a tweet, it might have been a
direct message on Twitter, and they said that they had announced like a January
fifteenth date for the D seventy five, which I never January fifteenth price yet,
No, I didn't even see. I mean, the ex engineering has
taken like a thirty five dollars deposit. They do that, Yeah, they
do that for they did that with when the nine oh five came out.
They did that when the seven o five came out. Nothing wrong with that,
but yeah, I don't Uh, somebody said January fifteenth, and I
don't know where they got because whoever told me that did not. In fact,
two people told me that, but neither one of them shared a link
with me. So I'm not sure. And I haven't gone to look.
I mean, I was hoping it would be by Christmas. I'm surprised it's
not. Yeah, kind of kind of surprised. Yeah, kind of surprised
here as well. But I guess if it's in mid to late January,
then to be out out in time for ham cashon, you'll probably see a
slew them. But I don't know, we'll see but uh, I don't
know. I don't know. As far as price, price point goes,
I couldn't tell you. Eight that's what I'm Yeah, that's guess. That's
my guess as well. Yeah, that's that's my guess as well. It
will outshine the ID fifty whatever, the newest one, the fifty two,
which was like what six fifty six ninety nine something like that. Yeah,
price wise, I'm gonna smoke, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's got
to it's got to it's gonna be you know, nobody, get your feathers
ruffled. It's gonna be a better radio than ninety fifty two, which I
love my eighty fifty two. But it's gonna be tryband. It's gonna have
real aprs, right, and and it's gonna be a it's gonna have a
built in digit Peter's and and and it'll be USB C chargeable, which a
lot of people care about that. A lot of people care about that,
And I agree. I mean, it's really nice. It really is nice.
I mean, that's all what it is. ID the ID fifty two
is micro USB rechargeable, so it already has a non proprietary charge on it.
The brand new ID ID fifty that just came out, which has less
features than the fifty two, it has USB C and now the new Kenwood's
gonna have USBC, so I think we're gonna start seeing that more regularly.
I'm curious. I'm curious pretty soon. So I don't. I mean,
I'm I mixed. I'd like to get one, I just don't know if
I'm going to. So I just don't d star that much. But yeah,
I don't. I mean, nice radios, yes, dude, I
don't. I don't. I don't care much about the d Star. If
they had an option to one for a little bit lesser price without d Star,
I would opt out of d Star. Yeah that's that's actually. Yeah.
As soon as it came up on d X Engineering's website, you look,
I'm gonna buy it. So yeah, Jim, you're gonna buy it.
I'm gonna get it. I just yeah, I don't know where I'm
getting it from yet. The neighborhood. Oh lord is right. Apparently a
whole Mark movie ended early tonight. I guess I had to come down into
the basement. I'm testing a battery down here, and I said, well,
you know, they could probably use a boost in view, so I
would just join in and see what's going on. Oh well, thank you
so much for your Benevolencey anytime, man anytime. He is a great human
being. Truly, he he is. So My question to you boys,
because I was listening, is you're all talking about tents, and I guess
if you're camping with chicks, you want to sleep in a tent. But
if you're all going out with man, why aren't you all sleeping in hammocks?
That's Adam Adam. Uh well number one. Well okay, so basically
right, So two things about that, Yes, and uh yeah it's a
parking lot, but there are trees there. But there's not trees on every
camp site, so you might be a little bit where where Shane and Kyle
and I camped last year, we couldn't hung it. We couldn't hung a
hammock from anywhere. We would have had had to hang it between two trucks.
Plus it rained one No, it rained the year before last, not
last year. So and I don't I don't really like sleeping in the rain.
But I got to tell you, man, I've camped in hammocks in
like sleet storms, snowstorms, rain storms, all that stuff and been fine.
You just put a they called a fly tarp up over top of it.
Yeah, you could do, but it's just not that much fun when
you're wet and cold and trying to cook breakfast and rain's hinting you, sleet
shinting to you. Well, I mean it's gonna be wet and cold if
you're in a tent. Yeah, you're you cooking breakfast in the tent?
Son, I mean, what's going on? I'll be cooking breakfast outside,
you know, in the rain. Well, I got a diesel. I
got a diesel heater for my tent, so I'll be nice and toasty in
the tent. But uh, I like to I like the security of a
tent, honestly, most of these, most of these I know, Well,
it's it's more secure than a hammock son, So it's security it is.
But I've never had a problem in leaving stuff out at a camp,
even stuff just sitting around the campsite. I've never had a problem with leaving
the stuff sitting around the camp site. So uh so, yeah, you
can zip it up in the tent and you know, kind of leave it
there, and it's a little bit more secure. But I mean, if
somebody wants it, they're gonna get it. One way. Tell you,
Once you guys go ham hammock camping, you're never You're never going to go
back. Oh I've camped. I've camped in a hammock. I I've I've
done hammock before and I had a hammock. Uh let's see, yeah,
I don't. I don't own a hammock currently. I would like to have
a hammock and in a in the in the correct environment, I would absolutely
sleep in him. If it was warm outside, I would totally sleep in
a hammock. But if it's cold outside, I like the tent a little
bit better. So let's talk a little bit about the coldness. Right,
So when you lay on on the ground, you have your your body's on
the ground. The ground's colder than you are. It's gonna suck that,
it's gonna suck the warmth out of your body. You must have heard the
part about the cot, because we already we already talked. I didn't.
I didn't hear the part about the cot. But you under quilts when you're
cat uh yeah, yeah, if I have a sleep, I want to
sleep. I have a sleeping pad on top of the cot, and the
tent that I have has a floor in it. Plus you can, uh
sound like you backed to practically in a hotel room. Hotel room, I
can take that difference between the overlain Yeah, camping probably. Yeah, Yeah,
it's a hotel room. I can take with me anywhere I want to
go. But sure, yeah, what's your tent? I missed that part.
Are you talking about the Gazel's or yeah, we talked. We talked
about the gazelles. Yeah, that's what Robert was asking about. So,
uh, I have one now, I know, I told him. And
they're like eight foot long. Yeah, and that's folded up. Man,
I'll broken down in the bag. Yeah, they're they're they're big. They're
big. They're not for people who drive sapphire cars. I'll put it that
way. I don't know where you're gonna get how you're gonna get that thing
from point A to point B, Frank, I really don't that Is that
called a sapphire? Is that the name aim of the car? Or is
that just that's what he named or somebody somebody named it that precious Yeah,
I've seen the sticker. I just didn't know if that was like the I
didn't know if that was like the UGO sapphire. If that was beautiful blue.
And her name is Sapphire? And how old is she? Frank?
About three or four years old? Now she's almost paid off. I almost
put along in the tooth yet. Okay, is that is that one of
those electronical vehicles or no, no, no, no, it's it's a
real say. I probably have to pay a penalty in Texas for that supposed
to get the credit pie on a regular BASI. No, no, see.
See in Texas, you can drive whatever you want to. It's called
freedom. Son. I mean, if you want to drive it. If
you want to drive a Sapphire car, you know, more power. I'm
okay. I had a another car, and I bought Sapphire because I was
doing forty miles one direction every day to office, so that's eighty miles round
trip. And I need a fuel economy so that it makes sense for in
the city. When I go visit Jason's Dearly's, I pray to God that
there's no rain. Right. I have parked it next to the street several
times. You get stuck. You get stuck in the rain, even on
concrete. That's right, Yeah, yeah, just about just about. So,
man, I gotta tell you. So I went to Dallas, right
there was about a week and a half ago, and yeah, I came
back and I had I was sick as a dog. Jim can probably attest
to me complaining about it all the time. And I was really surprised because
I didn't think that viruses existed in Texas. But anyway, I probably got
it on the plane. That was they don't. They don't. They don't
really exist down here. But all those corn Huskers out there in Nebraska where
you live Ape, they don't. They just don't provide the nutrition that we
get down here with all the all the brisket we eat. When he was
at work, I don't know, but I'll tell you what I had.
I had beef three meals in a row, because I was like, look,
I'm in Texas, I'm eating beef, right, that's the thing.
Hell, yeah, yeah, that's the way to do it, if you
go to hart A or ten ten fifty barbecue or any barbecue. Now,
unfortunately, it was there for work, and so I got off the plane,
gotten an uber, went right to the office, was there for like
six hours. Then went got in an uber and went right to dinner,
and then went from the dinner right to the hotel, got up early in
the morning, went right back to the next meeting, and then from there
straight beef McDonald's Hamburger's. Is that what you had? No, So we
got there, we ate at some barbecue place at the airport. I don't
know the name of it, and I got a briskets in jalapeno sandwich,
which was pretty good. And then the next and then dinner, I had
a Hangar steak, which I enjoyed very much, and they promised me it
was Texas beef, but there was a little bit of a language barrier between
me and the server, so I don't know if it was really Exis beef.
And then the next morning at the hotel, I had a beef uh
text mex burrito and enjoyed it good good, and I drank a ton of
Miller Light while I was down there. And when I should say Gallons,
well that's this is where they make it. Yeah, in Dallas, I
wrote down, asked the factory. I'm like, whoa, yeah, it's
actually it's actually it's actually in fort Worth. But yeah, I mean it's
got that's another one where south of fort Worth. There's another one, but
we were talking about they called Dallas. But where we had the meeting was
in Irvine, Texas. And then we were in a really tall buildings so
you could see like all these metroplexes when you looked out the window. And
the guy was telling me, he's like, hey man, you know Rushing
Irving or Loas Colinas. It was Irving, Irving. It's not it's not
Irvine. It's spelled differently than Irvine. California's Irving. Yeah, they say,
but they don't. People from out of town say that. People from
Texas don't. Don't California. This gal I was talking to Irvine's Irvine.
She's either she's either from Mark, California. She's come California or Arkansas,
one of the two. She's not saying it. Right, it's not Irvine,
it's Irving. But that's a stone throw away from me. Man,
Yeah, it's right. And Jason like literally yeah, well and well the
things we were close to something called Grapevine, and you're grape Vine the amateur
radio. Right, Yeah, next time I do it, I'm gonna have
to you have to come out for a couple of days, a couple of
days ahead, or stay a couple of days late, whichever. So yeah,
yeah, bring your hammock and just sleep. Yeah, sleep in the
backyard. That's right. I don't know if you could afford that, Miller
lt. That's a good thing about Mary Leide. You know, you get
get you get a thirty pack for about twelve bucks. You know, you
know what's it's not like that anymore since well No. Thirteen Now I'm not
going to get all political, but you know, the the the current government.
Yeah yeah, like their FVP labs, and that's true. I stocked
up Jason. We'll just take them to the cigar bar, right, So
that's gonna piss me straight off, No thanks. Now, speaking of that,
this this is a perfect segue into a Better Safe Radio dot Com who's
got the perfect uh advertisement right there f inflation and uh he's got two to
two to twelve dollars off of all his walks on super heterodyne uh hts right
there, there you go, and you can always save seven percent more than
that discount with HR two seven. So I found a few things, but
I was mainly wanting to talk to you guys and see what y'all were looking
for. But you know, we found the chameleon and tennis stuff that's going
to be going the week of Black Friday. And then this has actually been
going since like middle of the last month. So Better Safe Radio dot Com
on how do we talk about? I want Cox their next, their next.
Okay, I didn't want to swap out. I want to swap out
all the r G two thirteen with l R four hundred. Yeah, it's
a good idea. Have you thought about m M P. Yeah, I
thought about it, M N P or a b R. I have a
I haven't priced compared. I've looked at a BR and I'm I'm waiting to
see what drops for for Black Friday. M hmm. This this is to
do the pe Safari cables. I'm going to use it for outside made for
Texas heat. If you're living in an apartment, are you just like temporary
using it or what? No? No, he's he's in a house,
my own, Okay, I don't. I don't know, Frank. I
don't hang out I know in Texas, so I don't know. He's good
plot of land in my backyard. He's got it. He's got a really
cool backyard actually backs up to a creek, a lot of trees out there,
plenty of room for hammock. Ape could stay with Frank. If Ape
ever comes out here, they could drink whiskey and Miller Lite together. Yeah,
got his own gazebo out there. It's falling apart, but it's out
there so a hot tub that no one wants to get in. So I'm
having trouble with my data now. All of a sudden. Yeah, I
don't know. I have not priced M and P. I've looked at abr's
website and I'm not opposed to either one of them. So just they're both
good. Yeah, a better deal, Yeah, they're both good. Frank,
what do you like? Are you looking for anything specific? Right now?
I am looking at more grounding rods and renting tools and for all my
Shack build I'm going to be buying six to seven different grounding rods for my
house. My new video posting tomorrow, it's going over the math. I
saw that. I saw that. I saw your premiere that I'm doing math.
I do geometry, sir, and I do it right two and that's
what That's what I'm looking at right now. MMP has our Gigaparts has a
couple of cool stuff. We'll talk about them later, but right now,
if I had to buy anything or look for a deal, I don't even
know if they're gonna put it on sale. The new Shack Master Power Supply
five thousand, it's it's it's just it's brand new. It's brand yeah,
but it looks cool as hell. I'd love to get one. It was
beautiful and power poles built into the body. There's three sets of them.
Man, it's yes, I know, it's a power supply from rig expert.
Yeah to to uh. There's a video on my channel I put up
yesterday about this. So it's got two power pole ports here, it's got
two USB USB a quick charge three point zers here to USB c's right there
next to it, and then two more power poles on the back with the
with the binding posts. Thirty thirty thirty six. It's advertised a thirty five,
but it's the webit says thirty six. It's it is thirty six if
you try the reason it's called five hundreds because it's a five hundred watt,
So five hundred divided by thirteen point eight is about thirty six points something right,
So so yeah, but I mean it. But it's the website I
saw said thirty five, but maybe maybe they changed to thirty six. It's
more thirty six. It's how much going for Jason, I don't remember.
Probably about seven hundred bucks. It's not that much. I think it was
about two hundred. Show us the backside of that powers play. This is
something I learned today. When Frank wants to see the hind boy, you
see the backside to see the curve. He got that curve, let's get
let's get at Yeah, it was three three hundred and thirty four dollars.
That's a switching that's not linear, right, So on the back that power
it's switching underneath it there is underneath the black round port there there is a
USB port on the backside. Yes, USB. That USB port is to
plug into your computer for data. They have a complimentary software that will all
the analytics that you want. Yes, like like the continental like conn.
That's right. I use all the big words when I drinking. But well,
well, well look at what we have here. But they will give
you analytics for each power port on there, yes, and drawing and and
any other type of cool things. And also remote turning on and off of
the power supply. If they don't have that already as a feature. That
that's that's pretty chazzy. Yeah, that's right. You can power it off
and on remotely. That's worth the extra hundred and fifty dollars. It is
shack shack Master is a new line of products that rig Expert is coming out
with. This is the first product. It's not gonna be all power supply
they're gonna have a bunch of different I poked, and what's the next thing
they're tackling because they mastered this like Apple, they released a product when it's
ready, right right. I don't think there's anything I would change about this
other than make a fifty apps instead of thirty apps so I can run two
radios. Other than that, instead of switching. Other than yeah, it's
our off quiet though. So they call that line master shack Master because Jim
was looking at rolling out the jack Master power supply. But I think that's
the well, I think that's the shacking off guys you're thinking about. Yeah,
yeah, that's great. I don't know. It's a great concept.
And it looks sexy as hell. Oh yeah, I mean on the sexy
on the sexy factor. I want one. And the screens touch the touch
screen. You turn it on and off with the touch screen and you can
just touch it and it gives you a bit, a whole bit from menus
and analytics and it's amazing. Actually, I yeah, yeah, we need
to get my hands on it. We need to keep on track here because
we're we've got a hard stop tonight because we're going over to my second channel
to talk about r V life at the top at the top of the hour
tonight. Okay, okay, somebody said something you were selling your movie,
Jason. Is that true? So I have to the new one that I
bought that I've had all the trouble with that one, I'm keeping because that's
just I mean, that's just video, uh, video fodder, right there
is all that. I'm like, Man, everything's every time something breaks,
I just make a new video. It's awesome. I figured works as it
should. Yeah, but no, the old one I'm selling. I do
have it up for sale. I haven't really got any bites on it yet,
so I may have it priced too high. I'm not one hundred percent
sure what it's worth. But but I I told people to make me offers
on it, and I haven't got any offers on it yet, so don't
I might take I gotta I gotta shop up in Denton. That I might
take it up to let them do a consignment thing for me. So we'll
see. But that'll probably hurt your feelings maybe, But you know, at
this point, I'd almost just reg get rid of it. But that's all.
I'm not the boat. I'm I'm like praying for a tree or the
first low ball offer that will show up. Yeah, just laying it on
fire or something. Yeah, I think a new thought about that. I'll
smoke a new boards up in there and yeah. Yeah, but let's go
ape. Do you did you have anything specific you were looking for this year?
Dude? I got so much junk and crap sitting around here that I
want to get rid of something bringing it in. You probably the same way,
but I am the same way. Yes, you never know, right,
like all of a sudden, something shiny come along and then right you
have a Black Friday sale, then I probably should. The problem, the
problem that I've got is if I sell stuff then all of a sudden and
it becomes a paper trayal you know what I mean. And I got to
lay lay low. I laid lowered and snake balls, and I just don't
want to have un If I sells all that crap, I got to reach
it for him, So you know, yeah, that's just what I thought
would happened. I thought Giam was the he is, he's the intermediary.
My people talk to his people. Rank well. The other thing is is
that when you sell stuff that you use, then you ultimately deal with the
stuff where somebody buys it because they're excited and then they have no idea how
to work it right. And then yeah, yeah you could say that again.
I don't think your microphone's on, bro, Yeah, I can't hear
you, Steve. Yeah, hey, hey, after our live stream a
couple of weeks ago, some Amazon company reached out to me and they're like,
hey, can we send you a tiny essay ultra And I'm like,
sure can? So I got this? Probably was it our sinc or CC?
Maybe send you a bulldozer with it too, Yeah, because they have
all kinds of other stuff, like you wouldn't have long term partnership. And
then so I talked to him like what else do you have there? Like
would you review a chainsaw? No? Yes, yes I would. No,
you would down there with all your post uh digital that's right, yeah
no, but those corn stocks can get kind of kind of thick. So
people have asked me about my shopping videos or on my shopping videos and on
a couple of videos I've done so far. I don't know if you guys
know this or not, but the Ft seven Field is on sale for eight
ninety nine. I think that's a two hundred This this two hundred dollars discount
is actually a Yazu rebate, an instant rebate coupon from Yazoo. Hold how
much is it to? No? Eight? Yeah, wake up ape?
What do you would you say? Eight nine? I think you said seventy
ft seventy ten ft seventy ten field? Is that which field? Field?
Beans? It doesn't come with the speaker handle and it has a carrying Yeah,
has a carrying handle on it. So so you meant to play nine
hundred bucks nine hundred bucks for that? Well, it's it's the speaker,
is what you said on your desk. This is the field version you take
out to Poda and you're not you may not want to carry a speaker around
with it? Well, no, no, I'd say that's what I meant
you You meant to put in headphones to the radio? Correct? Yes?
Correct? Do the s S thing with the headphones? Is it that smart?
I think not. I think that was a big time. That was
a big question on the live stream when we talked about when John came on
when it was new, and I believe it will not to have the adapter
and the connector that goes in there, not the Yeah, something like that.
Yeah, it's still one of like R C A connections for that because
it has just the regular T t R S plug R A t R and
it carries extra voltage. So if you crossed it over the radio, right,
I gotta Jason good seeing everybody is always in Uh. I couldn't read
the chat while I was doing this, so I missed any anything in the
chat, and uh, it's it. See y'all. Thanks, all right,
man, all right, see you anybuddy. So no one in the
chat is saying that RNL has it for less than that, but I'm not
able to pull that up. While you're looking at that t O. What
what's the AES when you are here as I'm thinking encryption, it's a E
S S. It's the audio enhancement. I don't know what it stands for
speakers, but it's just it ticks and puts a different sound in your left
ear than it does in your right ear, and it's supposed to make it
more spatial and you know, feel good in your heart. And Soul does
that on the ftd X ten. No, they do it on the seven
ten, and they do it one five hundred. It does sound. You
can tell that it's there, you can tell that there's something going on with
it. Yeah, you can tell them, you know, so it's pretty
neat. But yeah, eight seventy nine at RNL. You guys know how
to support RNL. So go out there if you put for the seven ten
field edition in his cart. Now, No, Jim is not Jim does
not needed. Jim's got a whole stack of flex over here. Jim's got
an idea. I gotta stackle flex. So how do you flex at a
PoTA activation? Son, I'm a PoTA hunter. I shoot, I shoot
PoTA people, and we really right there and we appreciate all the PoTA hunters
out there. That's right we do. That's right, we do. Yes,
nothing wrong with that, Yeah, Mark. Somebody asked elsasdaid earlier.
DX Commander deals for Black Friday. Not that I'm aware of check DX Engineering
because you can buy him in the USA now DX Engineering dot com. Uh,
But I don't know if I haven't heard anything specifically from Callum, so
not sure. I will. I will check on that because I'll be doing
Black Friday videos during the week of Thanksgiving, so I will absolutely check on
that. And see, you know he was on Mike's stream last week or
so, and I think he did hint at getting deals. Yeah, okay,
he needs to make a deal. Yeah, yeah, yeah he does.
That's very true. So good. Uh well, Steve, you're a
you're up up next. Is there anything specific you're looking for this uh,
this holiday season, Black Friday? Whatever? I am looking for space reduction.
I am looking to offload stuff more than to onload stuff. I got
no route, but I'm looking forward to. Yeah, that's exactly That's exactly
what I want to do. Hence the mystery boxes I wish I could sell.
I wish I could list five thousand mystery boxes on my website because they
would sell out in like an hour and a half. But I know it.
Yeah, yeah, that's why I don't do that. I can send
you a box of flat panel TV wall mounts riding round in the back of
my truck because I keep forgetting to unload them at hamfests. I put all
those in mystery boxes on the first round last year, and now main trading
companies. Yeah, just stick it on a table somewhere. I was going
to say, just leave it on a table somewhere. I didn't how much
do you went for this? He probably did, but but I I got
his email about him, and I went and by two of them. So
they arrived last week when I was deer hunting. So they're sitting inside on
the table. I'm gonna I have no idea what's in him. I haven't
opened it yet. I'm gonna do a video on him, so we'll see.
But he does that every year. I was like, Oh, that's
that's a fun thing. So but I'm not buying the he did it.
He did mystery box last year, and then he did like mystery crate or
something like that, whatever he called it. And that's where the TV mounts
came from. Yeah, I was like, I'm not buying those again this
year. If worth of thirty two inch or smaller TV mounts right right?
Yeah? Thirty two really? Well, they'll probably handle the new lightweight LEDs.
They probably will. Ye. I was thinking, well, this is
great. If I had six people who wanted a flat panel mountain they're hunting
shacks or something, this is right right for a two inch TV? True,
very true. Little they were in my truck at Huntsville, but neither
one of us remembered it. They're still in my truck now in the back.
Hate it when that happens. Well, they're all the way up at
the front. I figure that was where the freaking back. Huh, what
comes with a free boat? That's right, we're trying to get rid of
the boat. Yeah, I'm trying to get rid of the boat a better
way, like praying for a storm. You don't think anybody would buy it?
Not so far? What kind of boat is it? It's a twenty
sixteen Chaparral bow Rider to twenty seven. What is the happiest day too,
happiest day of any man's life when I got it, and the one I'm
looking forward to. Yeah, the day you buy a boat and the day
you sell the boat. Yeah, day you sell the boat. It's true.
Well, I don't know if you guys have seen these. So,
speaking of gigaparts, they've got these Nixy clocks right now, you've seen these
digital Nixy clocks. Ooh, those are cool. Those are cool. So
apparently there's a new version coming out and they've got like eighteen of these left.
Well they had eighteen when we started. I've announced this twice already,
but they're one hundred and niney nine dollars, but if you use the code
of HR two in you can get seventy dollars off of that price right now.
And once they're gone, they're gone. They're blowing these out and make
making room for the new version to come out, so which I think would
be going to be more than one name. I was talking to Jason.
He said, those face plates for the numbers are completely customizable. Yes,
and he made one of all the YouTuber faces did he really? Oh my
god, why and give me that template? Because uh, yeah, totally
I need that too. Wow. Oh that's fun. That is fun.
Okay, let's see. Oh yeah, there's a side boom in the chat.
Hey to the wrong Frank. I'm right here, Hey Frank, Hey
Tank, Frank and Tank, Frank and Tank. So what were you talking
about? The clock? A clock, Nixie clock. Oh, the clock,
the Nixie clock. Yeah, yeah, it looks like a it looks
like a old school tube. Yeah, radio tubes right there have a steam
punkish yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they look like they look like amp tubes
or radio tubes and they have numbers in them for a clock in hours,
minutes, and seconds. So it just counts for you. I've seen him
before, I think in a yo was was picking up pieces of one to
build one himself at and mentioned last year he was getting the real former Eastern
block tubes, actual vacuum tubes, Dixie tubes and did do they have like
the numbers inside them? How he was going to do that? They have
the numbers inside? Yeah, the original Nixy tubes have like little neon numbers
and they're stacked, you know, vertically behind each other. Oh. Really,
So when you see the number one, there's like six numbers in black
in front of it that you can't see. Oh, I see, It's
it's like nineteen fifties technology. It's pretty Yeah. Yeah, it's very retro
looking. The take you to moving and back. Yeah. We use Dixie
clock to until time. Oh god, what's the joke? The USA developed
a new pen that could write in space for a billion dollars. The Russians
took a pencil yep, right, yeah, something like that, throw smart
like turnctor. Actually, the reason why Nancy didn't use a pencil is because
they're worried about the shavings. You can't really contain them, right, and
if you have some type of dirt actually worried, worried about it coming in
the the graph. Yeah, they're worried about floating into an astronaut's eye,
and and and back then it wouldn't graph. It was probably actual lead back
then. So yeah, maybe sorry, nerd it out. It's all good,
it's all good, it's all good. But yeah, so I saw
a question earlier. Is there any sales on G nineties? There will be.
I'm sure there will be. I'm sure. Yeah. Uh Bridge Calm
and Radiodity are two that I would be watching. I don't know. That's
just gonna be my first guess. Bridge Common Bridge Comb had a b Stock
G nine on sale. They could get blemished. How's that right? You
drop a G ninety on a concrete sidewalk and the sidewalk gets damaged. I
can correct yourself phone. Yeah, though, if you I don't know that
fan at the bottom that you get the ones that has the cage, because
I count, my count is up to six times. I have cut my
fingers. You know, Frank, you get three D print to cover for
that. I that would require a three D printer and the time of me
to learn how to three D print or a friend. Yeah, own a
friend. Sorry, Frank, I forgot it. Ask uh, ask Kyle,
He'll do it for you probably. I don't know, but oh,
we'll see but yeah, I mean those yeah Gen ninety. I suspect we'll
see a Gen nine because Gen niney has been around for a few years.
We usually see some pretty good sales on those around Black Friday. So it's
like the best radio ever for its price point. First, I'd be very
surprised if radiotity doesn't doesn't have a sale going on that thing. Yes,
yeah, yes, same here. Yep, there's a flaw in the matrix
or something saw that. I don't know what that was. That was really
weird. The second or third time it's happened to you, I thought it
was just me. No, no, I'm seeing it. Uh. Right
before my stream zoom locked up hard, I was like, oh God,
please don't do this tonight. M I usually uh, I usually shut off
everything and restart the product. I did that already, and I don't know.
I rebooted everything today mm hmm for unrelated uh. Diventuari is all this
year? Oh yeah, okay, And I'm hoping that gigaparts doesn't issue a
takedown notice. To the video we just did. I would like to see
a THHG seventy five for Black Friday. I think there will be nice ht
Yeah, we were just talking earlier. Yeah, probably gonna be January before
you see that radio. Nice to see it on regular price for sale,
let alone on Black Friday, Salem. Yeah, just yeah, yeah,
I mean it's not gonna be yeah, yeah, it's not gonna be discounted
obviously, eight bill. Yeah. Yeah, that's why I'm guessing seven ninety
nine. That's that's my that's my guess as well. So and I said
that back in May of this year. I was like, I bet that's
gonna be about seven ninety nine. But I mean, I'm sure it's gonna
be a great radio. And it's Kenwood, so it's not junk. It's
way not junk. Yeah, yep. But they know it, yep,
Yeah, we know it. It's the first radio they've released since uh covid
because they really I mean yeah, I mean it's the first new model they've
released. Yeah, because they kind of got out of the game for a
while. They never really got out of it. I mean that they they've
had the TS eight ninety going the whole time, you could always buy a
TS eight ninety, and I think a TS five ninety as well. And
what's the ship? Is that ninety? The nine nineties the flagship? Yeah,
but I think it's been discontinued. Richard at Main Trading Company was telling
me that that one's been discontinued. But the TS eight ninety, which is
actually newer than the nine ninety, less features less, a little bit smaller,
but newer than that than the nine ninety. Than that one's still that
one's still being made, I believe. So that's a great radio. I
love. Yeah, you know you've got one, Rob. They are there
behind me, Rob, there's so much behind you. It's I'm I'm overwhelmed
looking at all that stuff back there. I see seventy Yeah, yeah,
I got a five seventy as well of Kenwood radios. No, I want
to know what keyboard is that behind you? Yeah? This is this is
a Leopold. It's not behind him. Look at that you're seeing through the
right, Yeah, it's it's it's a Leopold small, I don't know.
It's a sixty percent keyboard. I got really good switches on it. Meganical
I bought myself a new keyboard. I don't know why I just destroyed the
last one. It's water resistant, spill resistant, is it frank resistant?
That's the question. That's the question. We're about to find out what happens
when you dump whiskey in it? Frank. Yeah, we're about to find
out. Look, look at sugested. That's pretty cool. I was trying
to bind a kron key keyboard. It had cherry switches in it, but
the key caps didn't fit right, so I sent it all back when that
wasn't painted that But hmm, just can't have nice things these days, you
can't. Nope, that's true. All right, guys, Well we're gonna
shut this down early tonight because oh, it looks like there's already ten people
waiting over there. We're gonna share this link real quick. Uh. This
is gonna be my first ever live stream on the new RB chain. I
say the new that the the other channel that is newer. I've had it
for a year and a half or two, a couple of years maybe,
And uh, Steve and I are gonna be over there doing a live stream.
We're gonna we're gonna do that once a month, all right. I'm
gonna do a live stream once a month and have different guests on and Steve
will probably be on there a lot too. Steve has an RV channel also
that you guys may not know about, so we'll talk about that channels right
now. And well, I just shared the link to the live stream.
We're going to be on here in just a minute, so so we're gonna
shut this one down. Robert Ape, Jim, Steve, thank you for
joining me tonight. We'll be It's gonna be really interesting to see what does
and does not come about for Black Friday. But you're gonna find some deals.
There's gonna be some deals on stuff, and I assume there's we're not
gonna see the D seventy five and the G niney will be on sale.
That's my two big predictions. Those are really which does it? Which does?
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I'm playing the safe game here, confidence
right right exactly. Yeah. So uh so that's where we'll be. So
you guys go over there to the new channel, check us out over there.
