How 112 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:10.360 has your week been? 113 00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:15.439 It's it's this week went by fast, but it was. 114 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.360 It's a killer, man. I've been past three days. I've 115 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.560 been tackling an oak tree next door that came down 116 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.959 in a storm, an oak tree, and okay, just getting 117 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.800 it cut up for firewood and getting everything else moved 118 00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:29.519 out to the road. Neighbors paying me to get it. 119 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:31.800 But it's just such a pain in the butt. It's 120 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:35.919 one of these limbs. It's probably fifteen inches where it 121 00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:39.519 connects to the tree where it broke part of it 122 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.559 was rotted and in the winds it decided to come down. 123 00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:45.879 And when it came down, of course it's still connected 124 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:51.600 up about about sixteen feet above the ground, so it 125 00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:54.000 naturally comes down. And I've been cutting my way back 126 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:55.679 to the tree. But I'm at the point now where 127 00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:59.080 I can't jack up the weight of it. I'm using 128 00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:01.600 four of a for that are crossed with a chain 129 00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:05.919 uh at the cross to buck up underneath it, just 130 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:07.559 to get the pressure off of it, because when you 131 00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:09.159 go to cut it, the weight of the limb wants 132 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.159 it to go down and bind your blade. So yeah, 133 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:17.039 that's and exhausting, it really has. And I've only got 134 00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:20.799 a fourteen inch barrow my chainsaw, so you gotta you 135 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:23.519 gotta get in close and with this thing the way 136 00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:25.519 it is the tree. Tomorrow I get to go up 137 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.799 and actually cut it where it's joined on it the 138 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:30.679 tree and drop the whole thing on the ground. Then 139 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:32.639 I just cut it up. Won't be won't be bad. 140 00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:37.759 But between the heat and thunderstorms and evenings thunderstorms overnight, 141 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:39.399 we've had a lot of limbs down things like that, 142 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:41.200 so there's been a lot of cleaning up all week long. 143 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:44.279 But other than that, and the week's gone by quick. 144 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:45.919 I mean, it was hard for me to believe yesterday 145 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:47.759 I thought, good lord, it's Thursday already. 146 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.919 So m but everything seems to be banishing this week quickly. 147 00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:55.519 You know, it's like poof, it's gone, poof, it's gone. 148 00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:57.519 Everything there's not gone. 149 00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:00.440 Yeah, sorry, there's not been anything going on on, you know, 150 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.399 news wise, really just same old, same old, other than 151 00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:07.159 Fauci testifying the other morning and everybody he did exactly 152 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.039 what everybody said he was gonna do, plead the fifth. 153 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:11.120 So you know, that was a shit show for what 154 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:16.679 three hours, waste of time, just nothing's gonna come of it. 155 00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:19.480 Yeah.

Ooh, he asked you. Yeah, basically 165 00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:43.679 he asked him, you know, who the fuck did you 166 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:45.799 think you were doing all this to the nation? 167 00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:49.639 And you know, as if like five year olds don't 168 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:52.360 talk that way at this point in America, I mean, seriously, 169 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:55.840 this is not I don't get it. Like language has 170 00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:59.639 changed to a degree where you know, it used to 171 00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:02.720 be you had, you know, the seven words and all 172 00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:05.480 that from George Carlin. You couldn't use it on TV. 173 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.559 You couldn't use it on the radio because if you did, 174 00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:10.000 you got fined, you got in trouble, you know, this 175 00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:13.200 kind of thing. But now they have regulations saying that 176 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.799 once a week or so, or maybe once an episode 177 00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:19.600 during certain TV shows at certain times, you can drop 178 00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:23.000 an F bomb.

So 185 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:41.960 it is what it is whenever it is. 186 00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:47.120 And well, and I'll find that surprising because for quite 187 00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:51.000 some time, you know, British TV swear words or I 188 00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:54.720 mean it's nothing after I don't know what their time 189 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.360 limit is, but their shows at night, their variety shows 190 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.200 and things like that, I mean people drop f bombs 191 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:02.279 and caughing shit. 192 00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:05.679 And you know, well even in the eighties, even in 193 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:08.559 the eighties, I got videotapes of stuff from Britain where 194 00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:11.120 you know what was it, Wendy o Williams took off 195 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:15.080 her top on live TV and just showed everybody her breasts, 196 00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:19.679 and American viewing audience would have flipped out if that happened. 197 00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:21.960 I mean, you remember what happened with Janet Jackson with 198 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:25.679 just like a flash of her nipple allegedly during the 199 00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:29.360 Super Bowl, right, the whole country lost its mind. But 200 00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:31.720 you know, people would get topless on there, they'd get 201 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:34.919 naked sometimes run around Benny Hill. When they brought it 202 00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:37.679 over here, the women ran around in you know, lingerie 203 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.080 or bikinis. But on British TV, they were naked when 204 00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:44.240 they ran around and did the ludicrous you know, Dan, no, no, no, 205 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:48.600 you know what I mean, totally different animal over there 206 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:48.919 at night. 207 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:53.879 I've always been surprised how we're so you know, when 208 00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:56.799 it came to I mean, I understand, we had broadcast 209 00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:59.919 standards for a reason, but it's like we were pure, 210 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.159 that is compared to the rest of you know, Europe, 211 00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:04.600 the rest of the world things that you can see, 212 00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:07.679 although some places go even worse than us. I'll give 213 00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:10.399 you an example. In South Korea, one of the artists 214 00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:14.679 that I follow put out their latest hit and part 215 00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:19.679 of it was filmed in a traffic tunnel and they 216 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:23.279 had to for that video to be played on TV, 217 00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:28.240 they had to put a warning beforehand not to walk 218 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:32.720 in traffic tunnels, and you couldn't play I'm serious, you 219 00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:37.879 could not play the video unless you ran that warning beforehand, 220 00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:40.320 you know, because when they filmed it, it was all 221 00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:43.919 closed road section and she's walking down this tunnel along 222 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:46.440 the striped line and the lights. I mean, it was 223 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:48.600 really it was shot very well, I mean the way 224 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:51.519 that they did it, but they have to play this 225 00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:55.720 warning before you play that that video. It's crazy, Yeah, 226 00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:57.879 one extreme to the other. 227 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.159 Yeah. Country by country and region by that stuff varies 228 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:04.039 wildly where they give you warnings, like you know, they 229 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:07.200 don't try this at home warning right, like they had 230 00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:09.159 to do with wrestling. After a little while, I mean 231 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:12.519 in the seventies and whatever whatever aired aired, these guys 232 00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:15.440 were literally cutting themselves open with razor blades and bleeding 233 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:16.759 all over the place and it was fine. 234 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:18.919 Yeah, and it's got Well, look at the commercials here 235 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.799 where they show the new Masta RX seven whipping through 236 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:25.600 the mountains on a nice curvy road and in a 237 00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:27.919 small strip down or closed road. 238 00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:31.279 Close, try driver this, do not this is not normal 239 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:32.080 vehicle behavior. 240 00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:32.519 Blah blah. 241 00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:36.000 But yeah home, but you don't even see that warning. 242 00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:38.840 What I'm saying is there are these blazoned warnings like 243 00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:41.960 don't try this at home, do not do this, you know, 244 00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:45.360 like when they had to like the show Jackass, right, 245 00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:47.080 and it was like, you know, they were doing all 246 00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:49.440 kinds of crazy things to each other, stapling each other 247 00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:52.279 to each other and whatever else, and you know, let's 248 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:54.120 see what happens if we get kicked by a horse, 249 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:56.679 you know, weird kind of well yeah, but and. 250 00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:58.840 There though, you also have the difference over here of 251 00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:03.120 stuff being on broad cast versus cable. You know, cable, 252 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:05.080 you could get away with the nudity and the language 253 00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:08.720 and everything else broadcast over here because but only on pay. 254 00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:11.039 Cap only on pay cable, Like if you paid for 255 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:12.799 the channels and then you could get away with the 256 00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:16.799 nudity and the cursing and whatever. But but then, you know, 257 00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:19.039 but if you had like USA Network or whatever, they 258 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:21.159 had to cut it down to even I don't know, 259 00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:24.399 like more team than what like your regular open air 260 00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:28.000 broadcasts would do. And like I said, there'd be trigger warning. 261 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:31.360 Now there's trigger warnings, and they warn you if they're smoking. 262 00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:34.360 Now in any television show where old you know, they 263 00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:37.399 run some old show and somebody smokes a cigarette. Uh, 264 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:40.399 you know whatever I mean. If you remember the Twilight Zone, 265 00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:43.840 everybody had a damn cigarette, right because they were sponsored 266 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:45.240 by Philip Morris, I think. 267 00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:47.399 I mean, well, yeah, what was it? 268 00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:52.799 The Mason, the Flintstones, the Flintstones, we were sponsored by 269 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:57.720 Winston and Salem. Uh, you know the cartoons. But what's 270 00:15:57.799 --> 00:16:00.840 weird is now, like I said, it's like smoking su iation. 271 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:03.919 If you or anybody you know it's feeling suicidal, you know, 272 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.120 because they're going to show a character kill themselves or 273 00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:09.679 whatever or try to kill themselves. 274 00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:15.000 Well, it's so bad even on YouTube in Korea, another 275 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:17.960 group that I followed, they put out they put out 276 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:22.440 a song and it was like a small movie as 277 00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:24.879 the song played and it had a lot of information, 278 00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:26.559 a lot of things, and there was a building that 279 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.919 blew up and there was somebody that got hit, and 280 00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:34.080 they had to put an age restriction on it. And 281 00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:39.759 that's why it didn't chart on the popular music stuff 282 00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:45.279 over there. It's because they put at eighteen or older 283 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:49.000 restriction on the video, so it couldn't even be counted 284 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:52.440 towards a lot of these charts that that they I mean, 285 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.720 there's nine thousand charts over in Korea for music, but 286 00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:00.000 it didn't chart well because of all the age restricts 287 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.399 is that they put on the video itself. Right, They've 288 00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:06.160 had videos that were they had to put age restrictions 289 00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:09.359 on simply because of the subject matter. Not a single 290 00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:14.559 slayer word, right, but if a sentence suggested something of 291 00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:18.279 an adult nature, they put an age restriction on it. Yeah, Britain, 292 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:20.160 well you can show it at seven o'clock at night, 293 00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:21.480 there's no problem. 294 00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:25.279 Right, as long as it's like after dinner in England, 295 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:27.279 you're okay, you know what I mean, Like you could 296 00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:30.880 do anything after dinner before that though, they're a little 297 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:34.519 a little restrictive, you know. But but then again they 298 00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:36.440 do let a lot of words across that we would 299 00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:37.880 never let across even during. 300 00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:40.279 Their think about this too. The station's over there, a 301 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:43.599 government owned yeah, which is even weirder. 302 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:46.920 But yeah, anyway, but my whole point is that, you know, 303 00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:52.759 society is not reflective of all these restrictions. You know 304 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:55.759 what I mean that that that people put out. It's like, oh, 305 00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:57.559 you're going to be confronted by this and that and 306 00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:00.279 if you're triggered, and like I said, there's a whole 307 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:03.480 like script that goes along with if somebody does harm 308 00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:08.039 to themselves during a dramatic act whatever it may be, 309 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:10.920 not not you know of this is real and this 310 00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:13.920 is all you know, a play of some type. It's 311 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:17.160 not actual people actually hurting themselves. This is acting in 312 00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:18.079 special effects. 313 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:19.079 No, not that. 314 00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:21.000 But if you're feeling is though you might want to 315 00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:24.599 harm yourself. Here's the eight under number and everything you know. Anyway, 316 00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:28.160 Jimmy James is on the line, and uh, anybody else 317 00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:30.319 is welcome to join us as well.

I don't care what their logo is. Fell O'Neil, 381 00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:02.519 Shaquille O'Neal and the weird general guy could run it 382 00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:04.519 as long as there's a cheap one, right, I mean. 383 00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:05.440 Who can? 384 00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:08.319 I mean I was with State Farm for years and 385 00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:11.559 they just kept going up and up and up, and 386 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:16.599 I got one speeding ticket and it got dropped at court, 387 00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:20.079 so there was no points on my license, but they 388 00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:24.039 still hit me for the ticket and jacked my premiums. 389 00:22:24.039 --> 00:22:26.319 I said, screw you guys. So I called a couple 390 00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:28.559 of places. Getico came in the cheapest, so I went 391 00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:31.240 with them. There you go. 392 00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:35.559 No, I didn't want with cars. Who wants to save money? 393 00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:40.359 Here's a little something that I learned the curd Uh. 394 00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:43.200 Yeah. 395 00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:45.839 I was wondering what in the world that's going on here? 396 00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:51.079 Dropping it to as you know, checking it out on line. 397 00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:56.119 My car coy as a how can no fault assurance. 398 00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:58.039 It's as cheap. 399 00:22:57.799 --> 00:22:59.039 As you can I could get. 400 00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:01.759 It would be a one hundred and fifteen dollars. 401 00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:03.759 That is very bizarre. 402 00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:08.720 And yet so I kept it a full coverage. 403 00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:12.000 Everything because it's like one hundred and fifty. Okay, so 404 00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:15.319 your fall. A week or two ago, I unloaded a 405 00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:16.240 couple of cars. 406 00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:21.240 So now my, oh by the way, those cars, each 407 00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:25.680 of them, the only thing I had on those was 408 00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:30.359 towing and roadside for a dollar eighty eight. 409 00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:34.599 So how much to buy your accounting should that beat? 410 00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:38.759 Well? Two cars? It should be what three seventy six? 411 00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:41.240 Right right? 412 00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:45.599 Okay? So that plus you would take the prices of 413 00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:46.400 the vehicle. 414 00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:47.480 That I actually drive. 415 00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:51.039 About right, yeah, whatever that is. 416 00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:54.359 Yet I scrapped these cars to get rid of them. 417 00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:58.519 They readjusted my bill and it went from one hundred 418 00:23:58.519 --> 00:24:00.559 and fifty to ninety five dollars. 419 00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:05.079 Wow, so you lost sixty dollars in that, which is 420 00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:09.400 crazy because you only at it at Yeah, okay, don't 421 00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:13.079 I don't understand that at all. That makes no sense mathematically. 422 00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:17.200 Well, what I am is mad. Why in the world 423 00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:20.079 were they charging in fifty five dollars a month for 424 00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:22.880 cars that were in storage? Not being used. 425 00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:24.400 Are they nuts? 426 00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:25.720 Yeah? 427 00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:29.680 Apparently, Yeah, But don't you still have to carry liability 428 00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:31.640 on your state if it's got a tag on it? 429 00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:38.279 Were they tagged? Did those cars that were in storage 430 00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:39.480 did they have tags on them? 431 00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:43.079 Well? 432 00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:46.000 One was still license the other one, well, yeah, I 433 00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:46.920 had a plate. 434 00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:49.839 But it was it renewed or anything. It's just sitting 435 00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:50.880 in my scure viuel. 436 00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:54.480 Well, it may be that if there's a plate on one, 437 00:24:54.599 --> 00:24:58.839 they have to charge you at least liability could be in. 438 00:25:01.119 --> 00:25:02.599 That's the way it is here. If you've got a 439 00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:05.160 plate on a car. Yeah. Here, if you have a 440 00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:07.880 plate on a car, you have to have livebuilding insurance 441 00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:11.279 on it. Even if the plate runs out. Until that 442 00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:15.160 plate is turned in and it's not associated with the 443 00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.759 VEN number on that car, they're gonna charge you. You 444 00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:20.799 have to have liability for a certain amount. 445 00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:25.519 Shouldn't they have told me that mentioned it in the 446 00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:26.680 last couple of years. 447 00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:30.720 Yeah, they should have. I'll give you a better one 448 00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:34.039 than that, Jimmy. Let's say I buy a car today, 449 00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:38.240 I call and put insurance on it, put a tag 450 00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:41.839 on it. Okay, I call up Geico. It's going to 451 00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:43.640 be eighty seven to fifty six a month. 452 00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:44.680 All right. 453 00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:51.359 In this state, there is a minimum for these people 454 00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:54.480 to write insurance. They have to have a guaranteed minimum 455 00:25:54.519 --> 00:25:57.200 of a certain number of months. And this is what 456 00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:00.960 happened to me with the last car I had. I 457 00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:04.279 had the car, kept insurance on it the whole time, 458 00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:10.480 and then stopped and it was all like three months 459 00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:14.200 into a six month renewal. Here they hit you six 460 00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:17.680 months twice a year. You're gonna you know, you're gonna 461 00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:20.799 have to renew your contract every six months. Okay, It's 462 00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:24.279 very seldom that they'll go a full year unless you've 463 00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:26.759 got your house and another car and a multi you know, 464 00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:29.160 you got multi vehicles and a house, and you're getting 465 00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:33.039 this discount and that. Anyway, I started the new contract, 466 00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:38.400 I went two and a half months. I sold the car, okay, 467 00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:42.720 turned in the plate, notified the insurance company that I 468 00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:46.640 turned into plate. I had been paid up to that point, 469 00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:49.519 because in this state, you pay your month ahead. It's 470 00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:51.359 not like they ensure you a month and then you 471 00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:54.359 pay them. You pay up front, then they cover you 472 00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:56.680 for that amount of time. So my premiums were all 473 00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:58.880 up to date. I had paid three months of premiums 474 00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:01.640 when four month came around, they sent me a bill, 475 00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:03.880 So I'm not paying this. I don't even own the 476 00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:07.400 car anymore. Oh, well, we have a guaranteed minimum. They 477 00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:10.319 turned in a one month premium to a damn collection 478 00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:15.759 agency until I fought it because they said, in North Carolina, 479 00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:18.920 we have a minimum of four out of six months 480 00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:22.000 that we're going to get paid for. And I said, well, then, 481 00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:23.359 why didn't you tell me that when you wrote the 482 00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:26.039 policy out of gone with somebody else? They said, well, 483 00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:28.759 doesn't matter who you go with. All the companies here 484 00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:32.559 in North Carolina do the same thing. So they basically 485 00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:34.839 are screwing you out of a month. If you own 486 00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:36.599 it for three months and sell it, they want that 487 00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:40.160 fourth month because they're guaranteed by the legislature that they 488 00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:43.920 can charge you for that extra month. It's the biggest 489 00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:44.799 rip off in the world. 490 00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:49.000 So that means if you have a car and you totally. 491 00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:54.599 Not one ticket, no one time. If I ever got 492 00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:58.839 elected from the clouds, give me thousand. 493 00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:00.839 Discustry. 494 00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:04.960 It's a racket. It's like everything else they're gonna get, 495 00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:09.039 they're gonna they're gonna guarantee, and that's like homeowner's insurance 496 00:28:09.079 --> 00:28:11.799 in this state because the amount of hurricanes that we've had, 497 00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:17.680 two companies decided as what two years ago, two major 498 00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:22.160 companies said, we are not insuring any property east of 499 00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:26.960 Interstate ninety five, and then a couple more came in 500 00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:30.200 and said, we're not guarant we're not writing insurance on 501 00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:34.480 any house east of Highway seventeen, which is closer to 502 00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:38.240 the coast. So little by little, people are having to 503 00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:42.200 scramble now to get their home, their homeowners insurance in place, 504 00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:44.799 especially if you have a mortgage. You know, if you 505 00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:46.279 got a mortgage on the house, you have to have 506 00:28:46.359 --> 00:28:49.839 the insurance on it. Well, now companies are saying we're 507 00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:51.799 not doing business in that part of the state anymore, 508 00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:55.000 and our state insurance commissioner won't say, look, if you 509 00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:57.200 want to do business in this state, you will cover 510 00:28:57.359 --> 00:29:01.279 homes all the way across this state because they're afraid 511 00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:05.680 to go to court. It's a rocket. 512 00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:11.240 Oh yeah, guaranteed. And Georgia's gotten even weirder. To be 513 00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:13.759 honest with you, I don't even understand by half of 514 00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:16.920 what Kim's telling me about the insurance. I mean, it's 515 00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:21.359 just it's absolutely insane. I don't get it. She doesn't have. 516 00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:25.920 You know, she's got a long driving record, and I 517 00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:28.920 mean she suffered like one one or two accidents I 518 00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:31.240 think in her total driving record, which is not bad, 519 00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:34.960 you know, when you've been driving like forty years. You 520 00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:38.720 know what I'm saying, what the hell? But I mean, 521 00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:41.279 they got her jacked up pretty high for a and 522 00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:44.240 and they're saying it's because of where we live. And 523 00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:46.559 it's like, yeah, but we're not ensuring the damn thing 524 00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:50.440 for theft or anything. You know, it's not like it's 525 00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:55.119 being insured for anything other than the basic liability, you know. Yeah, 526 00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:58.480 but yeah, they want I mean, you know, you guys 527 00:29:58.519 --> 00:30:01.759 are talking about very low compared to what it is. 528 00:30:01.839 --> 00:30:05.119 She's the element here, you know. And again, somebody in 529 00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:08.319 their fifties, you figure your insurance rate goes down. But 530 00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:10.400 because we didn't have a car for a couple of years, 531 00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:14.599 that's one problem. And then I don't even know what 532 00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:16.480 the rest of the problem is, to be honest with you, 533 00:30:16.680 --> 00:30:18.799 but I mean, we can't see insurance for less than 534 00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:20.160 two to fifty a month at this point. 535 00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:23.200 Well, you know, at one time, a lot of states 536 00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:25.240 would allow them to run a credit check on you 537 00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:29.440 for insurance and set your rate that way, and they 538 00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:32.920 used to do that years ago. Here I was probably 539 00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:35.519 in my twenties, and I went in and said, well, 540 00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:37.599 you know why is my insurance so high? Well, one, 541 00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:41.839 I was living in Greenville where the college was, so 542 00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:44.559 your rates are normally going to be higher there. Or 543 00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:47.960 if you have a military base nearby because of the 544 00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:50.480 amount of traffic, they raise your rates because there's a 545 00:30:50.519 --> 00:30:53.039 lot of claims. But then they told me, well, they 546 00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:55.640 ran a credit check. I said, well, I don't have 547 00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:58.319 any credit. Well, see, that's the problem. You don't have 548 00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:01.799 a credit history. You're only twenty years years old. I said, well, 549 00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:04.480 finally they made that illegal. They're not supposed to be 550 00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:06.519 able to run a credit check on you and affect 551 00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:10.519 your rates that way. But then as I got older 552 00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:12.839 and you go to some of these places and talk 553 00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:15.799 about prices, and it's like, well, with your age and 554 00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:18.559 where you're living, and the kind of car that you have, 555 00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:22.720 and the repair costs and the theft rate. See, and 556 00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:24.960 that's why mine was so high on the Kia because 557 00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:28.400 of the theft rate. It was the last year before 558 00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:31.599 they put in the electronic locks and everything. Everything we 559 00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:34.720 worked with a key and people could get in and 560 00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:37.599 you could easily hot wire one, so you could jump 561 00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:40.440 in with a screwdriver and crank a Kia for a 562 00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:44.279 long time. Okay, Well, so they raised the rates on them. 563 00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:46.319 Before I got rid of the car, I got a 564 00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:50.680 letter from them saying, now on Kia souls, we will 565 00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:54.240 not offer full protection. And I said, what do you mean, Well, 566 00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:58.319 we won't cover it for theft. And I said, well why, Well, 567 00:31:58.440 --> 00:32:03.160 because they have crappy locks and ignitions and they're easily stolen. 568 00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:06.880 I said, so I can get all the coverage I want, 569 00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:09.440 but you won't cover it for theft. Yeah, I said, okay, 570 00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:13.079 well I'll go somewhere else. So it's every little thing 571 00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:15.599 that they can find a reason not to ensure you 572 00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:18.000 or to jack your rate, they're gonna do it. It's 573 00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:21.519 like health insurance. They're gonna gig you one way or 574 00:32:21.559 --> 00:32:24.799 the other. They should be illegal and more and more 575 00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:27.880 attacks on the car owners of America. 576 00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:28.519 The VP. 577 00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:33.519 So I bought an alternator is a one eighty five. 578 00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:40.920 I got explored and that thing was throwing up charge 579 00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:41.799 of system there. 580 00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:44.720 So I went and we turned it and got another one. 581 00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:46.400 Student the same junk. 582 00:32:48.680 --> 00:32:48.799 Uh. 583 00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:53.200 Basically, I was told. 584 00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:57.240 It's because that stupid Jeff Garrett doesn't store their arts 585 00:32:57.279 --> 00:33:00.200 and road to trade. So I was checking out the 586 00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:03.960 prices at online. Cheapest one I could find was one 587 00:33:04.079 --> 00:33:07.759 hundred and eighty for REFURBI Stacey Delco painted. 588 00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:11.119 Really, I'm surprised you found one that cheap. 589 00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:16.640 Yeah, oh yeah, that's that's pretty reasonable really online. But 590 00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:19.480 then I called this dude told me about another. 591 00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:24.799 Place where they they get recent anytime cars get total 592 00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:26.200 lower cars. 593 00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:29.519 They go to this place. So I'm trying this place 594 00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:32.240 they got. I can learn from them that they're two 595 00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:35.000 hundred and am for thirty five bucks. 596 00:33:35.079 --> 00:33:35.960 I'll try that out. 597 00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:40.200 Why not, I'll tell you, well, just a core cost 598 00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:47.240 is usually fifty bucks.

Some places will take you know, 602 00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:57.519 your you're busted, whatever your your your battery or whatever 603 00:33:57.599 --> 00:33:59.799 it is that you're taking out. They'll take that and 604 00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:03.400 they'll do something with it, either recycle it or refurbish 605 00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:04.960 it for somebody else. 606 00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:05.279 You know. 607 00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:07.960 Yeah, if you go to buy a battery or an 608 00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:10.400 alternator or a starter or something like that without a Corp. 609 00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:14.880 You're gonna pay through the nose. It's like buying propaging 610 00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:18.039 tanks now for your grill. If you don't have a 611 00:34:18.119 --> 00:34:21.000 trade in, it's gonna cost you eighty five dollars. If 612 00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:23.039 you got to get empty tank to give them, it'll 613 00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:23.679 be fifty. 614 00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:27.360 Bucks, right, which, by the way, it wasn't too long ago. 615 00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:30.440 They were like twenty bucks when you swapped the dog oo. 616 00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:33.119 Times have changed, my friend. 617 00:34:33.039 --> 00:34:35.400 Yeah, they definitely have, because I mean I would say 618 00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:37.079 ten years ago I was still able to get them 619 00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:37.920 for like twenty five. 620 00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:44.000 Yeah, but well since COVID, since COVID changed everything everything. 621 00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:46.679 I mean I looked the other day at Speedway. I 622 00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:48.559 stopped in there to get some gas for the mowers, 623 00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:54.480 and their exchanges were seventy five without a tank. With 624 00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:56.679 a tank, it was like fifty two something. 625 00:34:57.119 --> 00:34:59.800 Yeah. See, that's crazy to me. You know, it's like 626 00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:03.760 the seventy five with the tank. I mean, that's been 627 00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:06.119 like that for a long time. Even when it was 628 00:35:06.159 --> 00:35:09.079 twenty five to swap a tank, it was still like 629 00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:12.000 fifty five to get a tank, you know, with nothing. 630 00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:17.039 But everything has gone up this like twenty forty thirty 631 00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:19.679 percent depending on what it is. Just in the past 632 00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:20.360 couple of years. 633 00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:23.079 It seems like, yeah, you know, well it's all been 634 00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:25.239 since COVID, and they all blame it on supply chain. 635 00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:27.480 Supply chain, no spot chain. 636 00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:31.320 Okay, supply chain means shortage and okay, fine, I get it. 637 00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:35.639 But the idea that these prices never ever come back. See, 638 00:35:35.719 --> 00:35:38.480 that's the thing. When you've got a temporary situation that 639 00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:41.880 jack's up prices, right, the only thing that ever gives 640 00:35:41.960 --> 00:35:46.639 back is like gas and stuff like that. But when 641 00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:49.920 you got like a hard product, they never give back 642 00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:52.280 once they start taking from you, you know what I mean. 643 00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:55.159 Oh no, no, they're not about to. When I lived, 644 00:35:55.639 --> 00:36:01.000 when I was in Hickory, about forty twenty five miles away, 645 00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:07.679 was a blue Rhino facility they pumped. Yeah, they transported 646 00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:09.920 pro pain to this place and this is where they 647 00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:13.559 processed all the small tanks and set them out, and 648 00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:16.480 the prices were outrageous, and I stopped in every one 649 00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:18.559 and I said, why in the hell is he so 650 00:36:18.719 --> 00:36:22.320 expensive for Probain? Now, Hey, our shipping costs have gone up, 651 00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:24.800 and we pass off every dollar back onto the customer. 652 00:36:25.119 --> 00:36:27.760 We're not going to lose money on this, and they 653 00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:30.239 won't ever go back down. Get used to it. I mean, 654 00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:31.960 the guy told me, once we go up on a price, 655 00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:32.800 we never go back. 656 00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:34.960 You know what was another weird thing is back in 657 00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:37.440 the day, if you didn't want to buy the Blue Rhino, 658 00:36:37.679 --> 00:36:39.400 say back in the like a round of the year 659 00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:43.079 two thousand, because you could still go to places and 660 00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:47.320 fill an old propaine tank, right, and filling an old 661 00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:50.559 propane tank was like cheap, you know what I'm saying. 662 00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:53.079 I mean I used to find a gigantic one for 663 00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:57.559 my home. I rented a place that had a propane 664 00:36:57.639 --> 00:37:01.320 tank for heating everything, for eating, cooking and the hot 665 00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:05.920 water heater two and the propane was dirt cheap. And 666 00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:08.760 to just fill it now, you know, and even if 667 00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:11.519 I brought a portable tank to a place to fill it, 668 00:37:11.639 --> 00:37:14.159 it was real super cheap. But if I wanted to 669 00:37:14.199 --> 00:37:16.599 do the Blue Rhino exchange, that was at a premium. 670 00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:20.760 Around the year two thousand, you know, propaine. 671 00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:22.679 Has gotten so bad. My brother's got a pretty good 672 00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:27.559 sized house. It's maybe say two bedrooms bigger than mine. 673 00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:32.360 And he's got two gas pack furtest units, one for 674 00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:34.880 half a house, one for the other half a house. Okay, 675 00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:38.079 and he has pro pain that they bring to you know, 676 00:37:38.159 --> 00:37:41.880 they deliver it and fill his tank and he has 677 00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:45.880 to go under a contract to set a price before 678 00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:49.679 winner ever hits or he wouldn't be able to afford it, right, 679 00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:51.199 the price has gotten so high. 680 00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:55.440 Right. But that's the thing is that I used to 681 00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:57.000 have to do that too, but I only had to 682 00:37:57.039 --> 00:38:00.360 fill my tank like once a year. Yeah, that's the 683 00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:02.960 way it was. And I chose to fill it obviously 684 00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:06.559 during the off season when it wasn't wintertime when all 685 00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:09.599 the you know, the the fuel costs would jack up. 686 00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:12.440 So you know, in the Northeast, that was the thing is, 687 00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:14.599 you know, the fuel costs would always jack up in 688 00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:15.280 the wintertime. 689 00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:17.679 Yeah, he sets his contract in May. 690 00:38:18.519 --> 00:38:20.159 Well, that that's a good time to do it. I 691 00:38:20.239 --> 00:38:23.639 think mine was set in like April, which was perfect 692 00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:27.719 because I was hardly using propane at all in April, 693 00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:30.639 you know, and so was everybody else that was used 694 00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:31.199 in propane. 695 00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:34.280 Yeah, you're just using it for cooking, yeah. 696 00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:37.119 And and even the water and being like you know, 697 00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:39.199 in my in my late twenties, to be honest with you, 698 00:38:39.280 --> 00:38:41.039 I was cooking a lot of things in the microwave. 699 00:38:41.119 --> 00:38:42.800 So I mean the stove was hardly ever turned on, 700 00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:45.360 you know what I'm saying. So, I mean I was 701 00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:48.400 using next to nothing, and that was when the cheapest 702 00:38:48.480 --> 00:38:52.800 rate usually would prevail in the Northeast because nobody was barbecuing, 703 00:38:53.199 --> 00:38:54.800 because it would you know, when it was hot out, 704 00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:57.360 you people are barbecuing. When it's cold out, people are 705 00:38:57.400 --> 00:39:00.360 heating places, right, so you get it in between. That's 706 00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:02.679 why April not not in the summer, but also not 707 00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:04.239 in the winter. It had to be the spring of 708 00:39:04.320 --> 00:39:07.159 the fall, one or the other. And so I chose 709 00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:09.800 April because it just timed out that way, like that's 710 00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:14.039 when I would be low in the tank. And yeah, 711 00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:15.880 that's the way it worked. And I never knew what 712 00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:19.079 my cost was going to be because they would fill 713 00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:22.039 it up to a certain level and they would build 714 00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:25.559 me you know. But I don't know how it works today, 715 00:39:25.960 --> 00:39:27.159 but that was Well, that's what. 716 00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:32.760 Bob does now, is he he will negotiate the price 717 00:39:33.920 --> 00:39:37.199 and then he'll have them fill it. I think they 718 00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:39.960 fill it, and then he makes payments on it and 719 00:39:40.039 --> 00:39:42.400 then usually they'll have to come back because he's just 720 00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:46.880 using it for heat. Usually they'll come back, like at 721 00:39:46.920 --> 00:39:50.960 the end of December, beginning of January to get him 722 00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:52.880 through the next month and a half because usually by 723 00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:55.719 February it's warming up enough you're not using the whole 724 00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:59.280 hell of a lot. But I mean it's gotten so 725 00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:04.360 bad that this year I'm using the fireplace. I'll be 726 00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:06.840 damned if I'm going to pay Duke Power any more money. 727 00:40:06.960 --> 00:40:09.320 Nine have to after last winter because it killed me. 728 00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:12.599 I had, you know, five hundred dollars eating bill one month, 729 00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:15.159 right because it's all electric. 730 00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:17.519 See, that's the thing in the Northeast though, right Your 731 00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:20.199 heating bills start to jack up in November because it 732 00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:23.239 starts getting cold then and it could stay that cold 733 00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:26.679 all the way up through March, you know, depending on 734 00:40:26.840 --> 00:40:30.400 the season. So you know, that was like the toughest thing. 735 00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:33.119 But you think about that for a second. That's you know, 736 00:40:33.519 --> 00:40:37.679 it's all the month of November, December, January, February and 737 00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:40.440 then part of March, almost four and a half months 738 00:40:41.280 --> 00:40:46.719 where you're at peak usage for you know, heating. Yeah, 739 00:40:46.840 --> 00:40:49.440 So I mean that's why I did it in April 740 00:40:49.639 --> 00:40:51.719 after all that was done, because the price should be 741 00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:53.960 a little higher, but it would be a lot more 742 00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:57.920 reasonable because it was it was going down a lot. Yeah. 743 00:40:58.519 --> 00:41:01.000 Yeah, so many years ago put a set of gas 744 00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:04.599 logs in this fireplace, and I'm taking those out and 745 00:41:04.719 --> 00:41:09.360 I'm going back to wood, mainly because I've got trees 746 00:41:09.400 --> 00:41:11.360 I'm taken down. So it's not a lack of fire. Hell, like, 747 00:41:11.360 --> 00:41:13.719 I know, fire would last until I die. There you go, 748 00:41:14.679 --> 00:41:17.280 just cutting stuff down. But I just I said, that's it. 749 00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:22.360 I'm not. Duke Power offers these energy programs that you 750 00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:27.119 can get under and they will affect They cut your 751 00:41:27.239 --> 00:41:32.440 power during certain peak times to your water heater, your 752 00:41:32.559 --> 00:41:36.920 central heat, and air like I have. And the most 753 00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:39.599 you can get for one of those programs is about 754 00:41:40.400 --> 00:41:43.519 sixty five to seventy dollars a year. It's only a 755 00:41:43.599 --> 00:41:46.679 few dollars each month. But they can cut your damn 756 00:41:46.920 --> 00:41:49.039 they can cut your AC off whenever the hell they 757 00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:53.400 want to. That's the problem with those plans. Yeah, they 758 00:41:53.519 --> 00:41:56.480 have full control. Oh we're experiencing the peak here at 759 00:41:56.480 --> 00:41:59.280 three o'clock in the afternoon, it's ninety nine degrees outside. 760 00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:04.400 We're cutting your seedback, you know. Or if you use 761 00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:07.079 certain things at certain times, well, if you wait to 762 00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:11.320 use your clothes dryer until after nine o'clock, well, how 763 00:42:11.400 --> 00:42:14.119 the fuck do they know if I'm running my clothes 764 00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:20.280 dryer or whether I'm running my oven. Smart meter, the 765 00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:21.960 smart meter doesn't know what it's looked too. 766 00:42:22.679 --> 00:42:23.639 But maybe it does. 767 00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:24.159 See. 768 00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:27.760 That's the thing. Some of these appliances, even ones that 769 00:42:27.840 --> 00:42:31.639 you think aren't exactly brand new, unless they're very, very old. 770 00:42:31.880 --> 00:42:35.679 A lot of them have a way of communicating that 771 00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:39.400 they're in use. And the smart meter is fed in 772 00:42:39.519 --> 00:42:43.719 through you know, some internet connection somewhere and it'll literally 773 00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:48.320 report on what you're using. It identifies the damn thing 774 00:42:48.400 --> 00:42:51.039 in use. Matter of fact, one guy has showed me 775 00:42:51.159 --> 00:42:54.079 something once where it knew how often the refrigerator was 776 00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:58.119 being opened the damn meter like somehow they got that 777 00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:02.800 information and somebody was opening and closing the refrigerator too often, 778 00:43:03.719 --> 00:43:05.800 like you know, like that that was one of the 779 00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:08.239 pieces of advice given to them to cut down their 780 00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:11.559 power bill. You're opening and closing your refrigerator too much. 781 00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:15.920 Yeah, mom, this summer hasn't been bad. If I said it. 782 00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:18.360 It takes me a while to get it tuned in 783 00:43:18.480 --> 00:43:22.800 because I know my my thermostat on the wall needs 784 00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:26.599 to be replaced just by the difference between what I've 785 00:43:26.599 --> 00:43:28.559 got it set on and what the actual temperature in 786 00:43:28.599 --> 00:43:31.920 the room is and what that little thermometer on the 787 00:43:32.719 --> 00:43:36.840 thermostat says. So I know there's a difference there, But 788 00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:41.119 once I get mine tuned in, it's very seldom I 789 00:43:41.239 --> 00:43:43.920 can't you know, I won't touch the heat or touch 790 00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:46.920 the AC for a month and a half. Now, we 791 00:43:47.039 --> 00:43:48.760 might get into a stretch where it's up to one 792 00:43:48.840 --> 00:43:52.119 hundred degrees every day during the week. Well then it gets, 793 00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:55.280 you know, adjusted to bump it down a little bit, 794 00:43:55.440 --> 00:43:57.639 because it does get hot in here. I'm lucky. I've 795 00:43:57.639 --> 00:43:59.559 got a lot of huge oak trees shaved me during 796 00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:02.960 this during the hottest part of the day, right, But 797 00:44:03.079 --> 00:44:06.119 when it's that hot for that many consecutive days, the 798 00:44:06.199 --> 00:44:09.320 house never cools off at night, so you're gonna be 799 00:44:09.360 --> 00:44:12.400 running it a little more. I haven't touched my thermostat 800 00:44:12.440 --> 00:44:15.800 probably in a month and a half. So during the summer, 801 00:44:16.519 --> 00:44:18.400 I'm lucky, I know about what I'm going to be 802 00:44:18.480 --> 00:44:22.400 spending each month. But wintertime, when it gets below thirty 803 00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:27.239 degrees for two weeks and doesn't get much above thirty 804 00:44:27.280 --> 00:44:30.480 degrees during the day for two weeks, that's when I'm 805 00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:32.039 gonna have a four hundred dollars power bill. 806 00:44:35.639 --> 00:44:37.440 Craziness, man, it is. 807 00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:40.280 So we're going with wood this winter, Well, you. 808 00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:42.239 Know, I would. I don't know what they're going to 809 00:44:42.280 --> 00:44:44.880 do about that, but I mean, you're gonna have to 810 00:44:44.920 --> 00:44:47.719 be conscientious about making sure you know, you got everything 811 00:44:47.800 --> 00:44:50.280 trapped up and you're not making a mess, because that's 812 00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:53.440 always the problem with the wood burning of fireplace, right, 813 00:44:54.239 --> 00:44:56.039 is that you know, you end up with a soot 814 00:44:56.119 --> 00:44:59.440 issue if you don't have the flu clear and all 815 00:44:59.519 --> 00:44:59.960 that stuff. 816 00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:00.239 Right. 817 00:45:01.599 --> 00:45:03.840 Oh yeah, mine, I've already checked out. All I've got 818 00:45:03.960 --> 00:45:05.639 to do is take the logs out of it, plug 819 00:45:05.719 --> 00:45:08.599 the whole mortar up the hole where the copper line 820 00:45:08.679 --> 00:45:11.360 comes in for the propane. But other than that, it's 821 00:45:11.400 --> 00:45:14.280 ready to go. Oh okay, But you know, and I've 822 00:45:14.480 --> 00:45:17.400 I've always most places i've lived, I've had a fireplace. 823 00:45:17.519 --> 00:45:20.280 Some places I've had wood stoves. Now I may look 824 00:45:21.239 --> 00:45:23.760 to see if I can find a wood stove or 825 00:45:23.800 --> 00:45:27.320 an insert that would fit this fireplace, And if I 826 00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:30.599 find one, I would probably buy it. It's just that 827 00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:33.039 much more efficient. Plus you've got a fan built in 828 00:45:33.239 --> 00:45:36.280 to you know, blow it circulated around the room and 829 00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:39.039 all that. It'd be much more efficient. But if not, 830 00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:41.320 now I just put a screen up in front of 831 00:45:41.360 --> 00:45:43.800 this damn thing and burn wood. But I am not 832 00:45:43.960 --> 00:45:47.199 going through another five hundred dollars power bill when it's 833 00:45:47.239 --> 00:45:48.280 thirty degrees outside. 834 00:45:48.840 --> 00:45:51.280 Yeah. No, I would definitely try with try to wood 835 00:45:51.679 --> 00:45:54.079 because the only other better solution I ever had was 836 00:45:54.320 --> 00:45:56.639 a natural I had one of those natural gas heaters 837 00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:00.199 that you know, like you actually had to you know, 838 00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:02.280 it had the igniter and all that, and it would 839 00:46:02.360 --> 00:46:05.079 light and it actually had plams in it. That thing 840 00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:08.199 was the most efficient way to warm the hell out 841 00:46:08.239 --> 00:46:11.440 of a small house. And I did it with just 842 00:46:11.519 --> 00:46:13.800 the one fireplace. It was perfect. The only thing was 843 00:46:13.840 --> 00:46:16.480 you had to leave all the doors open, because if 844 00:46:16.519 --> 00:46:19.320 I shut the doors, then I'd end up with frozen rooms, 845 00:46:19.360 --> 00:46:21.519 you know what I mean. Like, if you need the 846 00:46:21.559 --> 00:46:23.559 bathroom frozen, you go sit on the toilet. It's like 847 00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:24.920 sitting on a freaking ice cube. 848 00:46:25.800 --> 00:46:25.960 Yeah. 849 00:46:26.039 --> 00:46:28.079 The biggest thing I needed for is just to knock 850 00:46:28.159 --> 00:46:30.360 the chill off. My living room is big enough that 851 00:46:31.480 --> 00:46:33.960 it can. It'll get chilly in here now. When we 852 00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:37.360 went when it got down to like the teens for 853 00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:41.440 a week this past winter, it was hard keeping it 854 00:46:41.559 --> 00:46:45.199 warm in here. I mean, the heat strips were running 855 00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:48.199 twenty four hours a day, and that's just spinning your 856 00:46:48.280 --> 00:46:50.800 meter off the side of the wall. So if I 857 00:46:50.880 --> 00:46:54.519 can keep this big room warmer, my bedroom, I just 858 00:46:54.599 --> 00:46:56.599 didn't have it cooler anyway. I can't sleep in the 859 00:46:56.679 --> 00:46:59.960 hot bedroom. So as long as I can keep them 860 00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:03.880 main living area warmer, a small fire in the fireplace 861 00:47:03.920 --> 00:47:06.239 will do that. And I've got ceiling fans in a 862 00:47:06.280 --> 00:47:07.800 lot of the rooms that I can cut on to 863 00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:11.119 help circulate it. But I just can't stand that damn 864 00:47:11.159 --> 00:47:15.679 electric pill. It's heat pump is nice, But you know, 865 00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:18.000 I understand why they're not that big a deal up 866 00:47:18.079 --> 00:47:21.920 north because it's always below freezing for a month at 867 00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:22.440 a time. 868 00:47:22.760 --> 00:47:26.920 Right, So it doesn't it's not gonna it's not. If 869 00:47:26.920 --> 00:47:30.079 you have electric heat up north, you are paying a 870 00:47:30.199 --> 00:47:33.400 brutal power bill. Oh yeah, like I said, for four 871 00:47:33.440 --> 00:47:36.440 and a half months pretty much. And that's not even 872 00:47:36.599 --> 00:47:39.199 like to keep your house toasty. I'm talking about just to. 873 00:47:39.239 --> 00:47:42.039 Make it livable, just to keep the fight from freezing. 874 00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:44.719 Yeah, and to make sure you sink doesn't freeze exactly 875 00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:47.239 like you're sinking your bath tuble and up frozen up 876 00:47:48.199 --> 00:47:51.320 if you don't eat your place a little bit. And 877 00:47:51.800 --> 00:47:52.440 I yes. 878 00:47:53.360 --> 00:47:56.280 I read it an old farmhouse over in Greenville for 879 00:47:56.400 --> 00:48:01.840 about four years before I got married, and it was, 880 00:48:02.039 --> 00:48:04.199 I mean it was. It was such an old farmhouse 881 00:48:04.239 --> 00:48:07.519 that used to have a separate kitchen that was off 882 00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:10.480 through a breezeway. You know, back then they always put 883 00:48:10.519 --> 00:48:12.760 the kitchen separate in case kitchen caught on fire, didn't 884 00:48:12.800 --> 00:48:15.480 burn down the rest of the house. Well, these guys 885 00:48:15.559 --> 00:48:18.639 got industrious. There were two brothers that owned this farm. 886 00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:22.440 They cut the kitchen off and moved it and butted 887 00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:25.599 it up to the back of the main house. Well, 888 00:48:25.639 --> 00:48:28.079 there there was an old oil heater in it, but 889 00:48:28.159 --> 00:48:30.519 when I moved in, the oil tank was gone. The 890 00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:34.679 heater was gone. So I was using carasan heaters for 891 00:48:34.719 --> 00:48:39.480 a while and using those things, you know, you could 892 00:48:40.280 --> 00:48:42.440 you could run them all day long and keep it 893 00:48:42.519 --> 00:48:46.280 comfortable in there. Well, at that time I was surveying, 894 00:48:47.000 --> 00:48:49.280 and I was that day I knew I was going 895 00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:51.079 to be you know, it was snow on the ground. 896 00:48:51.119 --> 00:48:52.440 We couldn't do much, so it was going to be 897 00:48:52.519 --> 00:48:56.440 like a half a day going the office. My wife 898 00:48:57.440 --> 00:48:59.719 comes out from taking a shower. She's getting ready to 899 00:48:59.719 --> 00:49:01.760 go to school. She was in East Carolina at the time, 900 00:49:02.440 --> 00:49:05.639 and she says, I think the drain in the bathtub 901 00:49:05.760 --> 00:49:09.199 is frozen. I said what, She says, yeah, it's not draining. 902 00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:11.360 I said, all right, well let me go look at it. 903 00:49:11.519 --> 00:49:16.039 So this old farmhouse that had put ten underneath to 904 00:49:16.639 --> 00:49:19.519 block off the crawl space under the house. So I 905 00:49:19.599 --> 00:49:23.159 take the tin down and I go under the bathroom 906 00:49:23.280 --> 00:49:27.280 and it's old cast iron pipe. It's well, at first, 907 00:49:27.320 --> 00:49:30.199 it's you remember the old flue pipe from the old 908 00:49:30.280 --> 00:49:32.840 stoves that you know, the metal pipe that would run 909 00:49:32.920 --> 00:49:34.239 up as your chimney. 910 00:49:34.360 --> 00:49:35.880 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. 911 00:49:35.880 --> 00:49:42.039 Okay, Well this was metal pipe like that wrapped around 912 00:49:43.280 --> 00:49:48.719 old cast iron pipe and they shoved newspapers in between 913 00:49:48.800 --> 00:49:50.119 the two pipes to insulate. 914 00:49:51.079 --> 00:49:52.079 Oh yeah. 915 00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:56.280 So I peel off the outer flue pipe and I 916 00:49:56.360 --> 00:49:59.199 finally get to the cast iron and it's just as 917 00:49:59.239 --> 00:50:00.840 you put your hand on and it's like sticking your 918 00:50:00.880 --> 00:50:02.639 hand on the block eye. So thought, oh crap, well 919 00:50:02.679 --> 00:50:06.000 that's what it is. So I hollered up. I knocked 920 00:50:06.039 --> 00:50:08.480 on the window and my wife came over there. I said, 921 00:50:08.519 --> 00:50:11.119 give me your hair dryer. So she opens the window 922 00:50:11.159 --> 00:50:12.599 and hands me her hair dryer, and I go out 923 00:50:12.599 --> 00:50:14.239 to the truck and I get one of these tripods 924 00:50:14.280 --> 00:50:16.079 that we used to use the whole level and rod 925 00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:19.960 and I spread it out, run a drop cord, plug 926 00:50:20.079 --> 00:50:23.119 in the hair dryer, used the big alligator clip to 927 00:50:23.159 --> 00:50:25.679 hold the hair hair dryer and point it right at 928 00:50:25.719 --> 00:50:30.559 the cast iron. And I don't know, maybe ten minutes 929 00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:32.280 had gone by. I cut the heater off so the 930 00:50:32.440 --> 00:50:34.920 hair dryer doesn't overheat. Then I cut it back on. 931 00:50:35.519 --> 00:50:37.400 I let it go and I cut it off, and 932 00:50:37.519 --> 00:50:39.039 next thing I know, my wife has come out of 933 00:50:39.039 --> 00:50:41.000 the house. He's getting ready to go to school, and 934 00:50:41.079 --> 00:50:42.800 she goes, well, do you think you have it fixed? 935 00:50:43.960 --> 00:50:45.679 I said, well, it just needs to thaw out. I'm 936 00:50:45.679 --> 00:50:47.199 gonna go in and check it for a minute. She goes, 937 00:50:47.239 --> 00:50:49.880 what are you doing. I'm reading newspapers from the nineteen 938 00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:54.800 thirties that they had shoved in these pottees for insulation. 939 00:50:55.280 --> 00:51:01.480 I'm sitting there, damn perfectly, you know, perfectly saved newsprint 940 00:51:02.079 --> 00:51:04.480 that hadn't seen the dale. You know, probably hadn't seen 941 00:51:04.719 --> 00:51:07.599 light a day since it was shoved in that pipe 942 00:51:07.679 --> 00:51:10.159 to insulate the damn thing. I saw sun as well. 943 00:51:10.280 --> 00:51:12.639 Yeah, I saw stuff like that shoved in the walls 944 00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:16.400 in Jersey because you know, at one point people used 945 00:51:16.400 --> 00:51:19.920 to insulate a lot of things with newspaper. So I 946 00:51:20.039 --> 00:51:23.400 saw like whole newspapers shoved in the freaking wall from 947 00:51:23.480 --> 00:51:27.199 like the nineteen twenties. Yeah, and I'm like, damn, you know, 948 00:51:27.559 --> 00:51:29.760 this whole thing's still here. I can still read about it, 949 00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:33.599 and I'm like, it's it's perfectly I mean, you know, 950 00:51:33.719 --> 00:51:35.480 some of them would get yellow or whatever if it 951 00:51:35.599 --> 00:51:37.760 was near stuff, but oh yeah. 952 00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:40.159 All this newspaper was yellow. But it was kind of funny. 953 00:51:40.199 --> 00:51:41.800 My wife, she was in a rush. He goes, well, 954 00:51:42.000 --> 00:51:43.480 you can update you on the news when I get 955 00:51:43.519 --> 00:51:45.159 back home, and she took off right. 956 00:51:45.480 --> 00:51:48.000 I mean, you know, my solution to what you're describing 957 00:51:48.039 --> 00:51:50.159 here is I would have started pouring hot water in it, 958 00:51:50.960 --> 00:51:52.880 you know what I mean, just to try and like 959 00:51:53.159 --> 00:51:57.000 melt the ice blockage would have been my move, you know, 960 00:51:57.800 --> 00:52:01.079 But then again, I mean some times that works, sometimes 961 00:52:01.119 --> 00:52:01.480 it doesn't. 962 00:52:01.519 --> 00:52:04.920 Then you know this way, Yeah, she took a hot 963 00:52:05.079 --> 00:52:08.559 shower and so the water going down the drain was 964 00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:13.159 hot and it still froze. So well, let me go 965 00:52:13.360 --> 00:52:15.599 just fall out the damn pipe, and that's all it was, 966 00:52:15.760 --> 00:52:18.440 was just that that cast iron had gotten cold overnight, 967 00:52:19.199 --> 00:52:21.320 right and had water sitting in it. It didn't have 968 00:52:21.360 --> 00:52:23.079 a lot of pits to it to drain. It was 969 00:52:23.159 --> 00:52:25.239 only you know, less of a quar inch per foot, 970 00:52:25.760 --> 00:52:27.400 so it was just sitting in there kind of flat, 971 00:52:27.480 --> 00:52:30.679 and it froze. So but we got to fix it. 972 00:52:30.760 --> 00:52:33.280 Didn't take even another twenty minutes and it was everything 973 00:52:33.400 --> 00:52:35.159 was fine. But just you know the fact that what 974 00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:38.079 they would use back then is just you know, shove 975 00:52:38.159 --> 00:52:41.000 newspapers in the pipe for insulation. That's all they had 976 00:52:41.039 --> 00:52:41.400 back then. 977 00:52:41.559 --> 00:52:43.400 Yeah. And that's the other funny thing that I would 978 00:52:43.440 --> 00:52:45.599 find in the walls of these houses, these old houses 979 00:52:45.679 --> 00:52:48.920 on the Jersey Shore, is that you could find like 980 00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:51.920 the wrappers and things from the guy's lunches that were 981 00:52:51.960 --> 00:52:54.960 building the house too. Yeah, because they just shoved that 982 00:52:55.079 --> 00:52:58.360 crap in there instead of throwing it away somewhere. Just 983 00:52:58.800 --> 00:53:01.719 that we found bottles in the wall and everything, like 984 00:53:01.920 --> 00:53:05.199 all kinds of stuff, like old coke bottles in the wall, 985 00:53:05.239 --> 00:53:07.400 and old beer bottles were in the wall, Like beers 986 00:53:07.440 --> 00:53:10.440 I never even heard of were stuffed in the wall. 987 00:53:11.760 --> 00:53:14.239 I was like, Wow, these guys just like whatever they 988 00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:16.039 were eating or drinking, they were like as screw it, 989 00:53:16.079 --> 00:53:18.239 stuffed that in the wall too, and it was just 990 00:53:18.360 --> 00:53:22.639 part of the insulation, you know. And then you wondered why, 991 00:53:22.719 --> 00:53:24.599 like some of these places would go up and burn 992 00:53:24.719 --> 00:53:27.639 down real quick. On the Jersey Shore, they're stuffed with 993 00:53:27.760 --> 00:53:31.679 kindling half of the time, newspaper and freaking sandwich wrappers, 994 00:53:31.760 --> 00:53:38.000 paper sandwich wrappers. What do you expect, you know? So 995 00:53:38.440 --> 00:53:40.880 I don't know. I was surprised that they didn't have 996 00:53:41.000 --> 00:53:43.599 more fires from the electrical wire that people wound up, 997 00:53:43.960 --> 00:53:46.440 because people would just punch, like these places didn't even 998 00:53:46.480 --> 00:53:50.719 initially have electricity, some of them, right, So they would 999 00:53:50.960 --> 00:53:55.400 later on punch electric like drill holes and run wires 1000 00:53:55.519 --> 00:53:59.440 through these walls, and then they would put a box 1001 00:53:59.559 --> 00:54:02.239 like fixed on the outside of the wall, like you 1002 00:54:02.239 --> 00:54:04.679 wouldn't have a receptacle in the wall. It would be 1003 00:54:04.840 --> 00:54:08.280 mounted on the outside of the wall, right, But these 1004 00:54:08.400 --> 00:54:13.400 wires would come through, you know, from like a junction outside, 1005 00:54:13.639 --> 00:54:15.320 and then they would like you know, and then create 1006 00:54:15.320 --> 00:54:17.079 a junction on each side of the house, and then 1007 00:54:17.119 --> 00:54:20.800 they would stick them through these these holes. And I'm 1008 00:54:20.800 --> 00:54:24.199 thinking to myself, if these wires ever heated up. They're 1009 00:54:24.280 --> 00:54:28.320 surrounded by newspaper. All you need is a hot, dry 1010 00:54:28.480 --> 00:54:33.199 day and you know, and freaking enough heat on the wires, 1011 00:54:33.239 --> 00:54:35.119 and boom, these places are just going to go up. 1012 00:54:36.039 --> 00:54:38.400 Like I was surprised more places didn't burn down on 1013 00:54:38.480 --> 00:54:41.320 the Jersey Shore. Other people told me, you know, it 1014 00:54:41.440 --> 00:54:44.079 was the conditions because it was constantly damp because you're 1015 00:54:44.119 --> 00:54:47.719 near the ocean, you know, so it never really fully 1016 00:54:47.840 --> 00:54:51.760 dries out, like there's always enough dampness to not quite 1017 00:54:52.000 --> 00:54:55.920 you know, light up the dried up newspaper. But if 1018 00:54:55.920 --> 00:54:58.920 they did that in other parts of the country, you're right, 1019 00:54:59.199 --> 00:55:01.599 whole houses would burn whole neighborhoods would burned down. 1020 00:55:01.800 --> 00:55:04.280 Well, I mean, like this house it was it was 1021 00:55:05.079 --> 00:55:07.760 I can't remember how old they said it was, but 1022 00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:10.639 I mean, this was an old wooden frame house. And 1023 00:55:11.599 --> 00:55:14.039 I had a window air conditioner in the living room, 1024 00:55:14.679 --> 00:55:18.480 and the sill underneath it had started to rot. So 1025 00:55:18.840 --> 00:55:21.079 I take the air conditioner out of the window, and 1026 00:55:21.199 --> 00:55:24.039 I popped the sill off in the window sill, and 1027 00:55:24.159 --> 00:55:26.760 I looked down in the wall. The only insulation in 1028 00:55:26.840 --> 00:55:31.679 this house was spiderwebs. There was nothing between the outer 1029 00:55:31.880 --> 00:55:34.719 wall and the inner wall, and they were plaster walls, 1030 00:55:34.800 --> 00:55:38.760 so like the old lab plaster you know where they so. 1031 00:55:38.880 --> 00:55:41.920 Past the woods, yeah, past the little thin leath is 1032 00:55:42.000 --> 00:55:43.079 nothing just. 1033 00:55:43.400 --> 00:55:45.400 Yeah, I mean it's just empty space until you get 1034 00:55:45.400 --> 00:55:47.519 to the exterior wall. Oh wow, I thought, well, no, 1035 00:55:47.639 --> 00:55:49.960 wonder this. But you know, how did these people live? 1036 00:55:50.960 --> 00:55:52.880 You think about it. You know they had lived this house. 1037 00:55:52.920 --> 00:55:56.119 Somebody has always lived in this farmhouse. It's only been 1038 00:55:56.199 --> 00:55:59.840 vacant for you know, short periods of time. But if 1039 00:55:59.880 --> 00:56:02.960 you didn't have heat, how the hell did you live 1040 00:56:03.000 --> 00:56:05.400 in it? I mean, Luckily, like I said, I had 1041 00:56:05.440 --> 00:56:08.400 care of sudden heaters, so I could put one in 1042 00:56:08.599 --> 00:56:10.719 the in the living room that would heat the living room, 1043 00:56:10.719 --> 00:56:13.199 in the kitchen, and I could put one between the 1044 00:56:13.239 --> 00:56:15.480 bedroom and the bathroom. Of course, we had an electric 1045 00:56:15.519 --> 00:56:19.360 space heater in the bathroom. But other than that two 1046 00:56:19.440 --> 00:56:21.440 care of sun heaters. I kept the house toasty. All 1047 00:56:21.519 --> 00:56:23.159 went along. I mean, you could have two foot of 1048 00:56:23.159 --> 00:56:25.039 snow on the ground, it's still nice and warming there. 1049 00:56:25.159 --> 00:56:27.599 But oh, you think about what people had to go 1050 00:56:27.719 --> 00:56:30.239 through back years ago when they were hauling coal or wood, 1051 00:56:30.440 --> 00:56:33.039 or had an old pop belly stove in the kitchen, 1052 00:56:33.280 --> 00:56:34.960 and that was the only heat you had in the house. 1053 00:56:37.159 --> 00:56:39.599 Well, that was the reason for a lot of the designs, right, 1054 00:56:39.760 --> 00:56:44.320 because you had to centralize around where you could keep 1055 00:56:44.360 --> 00:56:47.400 it heated, but also where you could allow a breeze, right, 1056 00:56:48.079 --> 00:56:50.960 So you know, everything was sort of designed with that 1057 00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:53.679 in mind at one point. That's why you know some 1058 00:56:53.800 --> 00:56:56.039 of these like old places, they're designed a little weird 1059 00:56:56.039 --> 00:56:57.960 and people are like, why would you put this here? Well, 1060 00:56:58.079 --> 00:57:01.880 because they didn't have these options. It was like, you know, 1061 00:57:02.039 --> 00:57:05.559 if you only had the stove to heat the whole place, right, 1062 00:57:05.760 --> 00:57:08.440 you sort of built everything around that. I mean, when 1063 00:57:08.480 --> 00:57:10.920 you got kerosene heaters or heaters you can move around. 1064 00:57:11.559 --> 00:57:14.280 You could choose to just keep your bedroom warm, right, 1065 00:57:14.880 --> 00:57:17.000 like just keep the bedroom in the bathroom warm while 1066 00:57:17.039 --> 00:57:19.119 you sleep, and then the rest of the place you 1067 00:57:19.159 --> 00:57:21.519 could let go cold it provided you're not worrying about 1068 00:57:21.559 --> 00:57:26.239 pipes freezing and breaking, you know, which is another weird 1069 00:57:26.360 --> 00:57:28.960 thing that I discovered in the South which I never 1070 00:57:29.039 --> 00:57:32.559 heard of before. These guys, you know, the like spicketts 1071 00:57:32.599 --> 00:57:35.559 you have outside that you know, they come up and 1072 00:57:35.599 --> 00:57:38.280 they curve down and people screwed their hoses onto them. 1073 00:57:38.360 --> 00:57:41.400 You know, those kinds of things in the yard. Well, 1074 00:57:41.920 --> 00:57:46.159 for some reason, people put five gallon buckets on top 1075 00:57:46.239 --> 00:57:50.840 of these things, right and I and I'm told that 1076 00:57:50.960 --> 00:57:53.559 this actually prevents it from freezing to a certain degree. 1077 00:57:55.119 --> 00:57:55.639 Now I don't know. 1078 00:57:56.159 --> 00:57:59.039 It just it keeps the outside air from hitting the 1079 00:57:59.119 --> 00:58:02.199 pipe and getting I mean, the pipe's gonna be cold, 1080 00:58:03.000 --> 00:58:07.400 but it doesn't get below freezing because a lot of 1081 00:58:07.480 --> 00:58:10.199 times your water source is coming from somewhere that's warmer, 1082 00:58:10.760 --> 00:58:12.840 like if it's an industrial, like if it's a municipal 1083 00:58:12.920 --> 00:58:16.719 water system that's buried underground, it's deep enough that it's 1084 00:58:16.800 --> 00:58:20.559 below the frost line that it doesn't freeze thaw. You know, 1085 00:58:20.679 --> 00:58:24.159 ground stays a certain what is it a fifty three 1086 00:58:24.199 --> 00:58:27.159 degrees or something so many feet down is yes, the 1087 00:58:27.239 --> 00:58:31.119 permanent temperature, so it's not going to freeze that low. Now, 1088 00:58:31.239 --> 00:58:34.760 my friend who's got a swimming pool, they've got an 1089 00:58:34.840 --> 00:58:37.360 outdoor faucet. Instead of one on the side of the 1090 00:58:37.440 --> 00:58:40.840 house where you just turn the handle, this one comes 1091 00:58:40.880 --> 00:58:43.079 out of the ground. It's a pipe, right, and then 1092 00:58:43.119 --> 00:58:45.719 it bends over and it's got a handle that you 1093 00:58:45.960 --> 00:58:48.239 a lever that you pull up to get the water 1094 00:58:48.360 --> 00:58:51.440 to flow. Okay, Well, she was filling up a pool 1095 00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:55.159 and she was calling me, like every other day, I 1096 00:58:55.320 --> 00:58:58.159 lost three inches of water overnight. Where is it goes? 1097 00:58:58.480 --> 00:59:01.000 There's got to be a leak. And I went around 1098 00:59:01.119 --> 00:59:03.199 checked the pool. All the fittings were tight for the 1099 00:59:03.280 --> 00:59:07.800 hoses to pump everything. It wasn't leaking there, but it 1100 00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:12.719 would go down every night. And finally I'm sitting there 1101 00:59:12.800 --> 00:59:15.440 looking at it. She's got the hose in the pool. 1102 00:59:16.360 --> 00:59:18.679 And I looked at her outdoor faft and I said, 1103 00:59:19.760 --> 00:59:21.559 when you get done filling up with water, do you 1104 00:59:21.679 --> 00:59:26.480 take the hose out? No, I said, that's where your 1105 00:59:26.519 --> 00:59:30.960 water's going. She says, what do you mean the standpipe 1106 00:59:31.000 --> 00:59:33.719 on your water outlets that comes out of the ground. 1107 00:59:34.039 --> 00:59:37.239 There's a valve down in the bottom of it, so 1108 00:59:37.440 --> 00:59:39.320 that this thing comes out of the ground and it 1109 00:59:39.400 --> 00:59:42.280 sits up two and a half three feet to where 1110 00:59:42.280 --> 00:59:45.159 you hook your hose up. It's just straight pipe comes 1111 00:59:45.159 --> 00:59:47.480 straight up out of the ground. I said, what happens 1112 00:59:47.599 --> 00:59:49.679 is this when you shut your water off and you 1113 00:59:49.800 --> 00:59:53.400 push that lever down, there's a rod in there that 1114 00:59:53.519 --> 00:59:58.760 goes all the way to the bottom and opens so 1115 00:59:59.000 --> 01:00:04.199 that the water that's in your hose bib will drain 1116 01:00:04.320 --> 01:00:07.559 out and it won't freeze overnight. I said, So when 1117 01:00:07.599 --> 01:00:11.159 you shut your water off, you've created a vacuum and 1118 01:00:11.280 --> 01:00:13.320 it's siphoning it water out of your pool. 1119 01:00:13.519 --> 01:00:15.519 It's slowly pulling the water back out. 1120 01:00:16.079 --> 01:00:19.280 Pulling it back down the line. And it was such 1121 01:00:19.320 --> 01:00:21.840 a small amount that it would only be about three 1122 01:00:21.880 --> 01:00:24.880 inches overnight. And it took me a month to figure 1123 01:00:24.920 --> 01:00:27.599 that out. Wow, I said, when you get done putting 1124 01:00:27.639 --> 01:00:29.400 water in the pool, take the hose out of the pool, 1125 01:00:30.119 --> 01:00:34.119 and a problem stopped. But nobody. If somebody who's not 1126 01:00:34.239 --> 01:00:39.679 familiar with how that damn that hose outlet worked, they 1127 01:00:39.719 --> 01:00:40.880 would have never figured it out. 1128 01:00:41.239 --> 01:00:41.400 Right. 1129 01:00:42.880 --> 01:00:44.639 It was just one of those things like I said, Well, 1130 01:00:44.639 --> 01:00:46.880 you're siphoning whatever you're putting in there during the day, 1131 01:00:46.920 --> 01:00:49.880 you're siphing it back out overnight. Well, I can't believe that. 1132 01:00:50.119 --> 01:00:52.519 I said, Okay, when you get done filling the pool 1133 01:00:52.559 --> 01:00:55.760 this afternoon, shut the water off, take the hose out, 1134 01:00:55.840 --> 01:00:57.800 and I guarantee you you won't have lost any water 1135 01:00:57.880 --> 01:01:00.920 by morning. That's what it was. 1136 01:01:01.280 --> 01:01:06.800 That's what happened. Wow, that's hilarious. You're actually literally drawing 1137 01:01:06.880 --> 01:01:08.920 the water back out and wondering where the hell it's calling. 1138 01:01:10.679 --> 01:01:13.000 I mean, she was about to go nuts. It's not 1139 01:01:13.159 --> 01:01:16.480 leaking anywhere, I said. I said, look, I've checked every fitting. 1140 01:01:17.239 --> 01:01:20.000 I said, there's no water on the outside. 1141 01:01:20.159 --> 01:01:21.039 It's not leaking. 1142 01:01:21.400 --> 01:01:24.639 It's not your pump, it's not your connections, it's not 1143 01:01:24.800 --> 01:01:28.679 the bottom drain. All that is bone dry. I even 1144 01:01:28.760 --> 01:01:32.920 got in the pool with you know you squirt bottles 1145 01:01:32.960 --> 01:01:35.800 that the restaurants used put ketchup in yep, where you 1146 01:01:35.920 --> 01:01:36.880 just popped the cap off and. 1147 01:01:36.880 --> 01:01:39.000 You squeeze it. All right. 1148 01:01:39.079 --> 01:01:40.800 I got one of those, and I got a piece 1149 01:01:40.840 --> 01:01:46.039 of hose, like surgical hose, clear tubing, put on the 1150 01:01:46.199 --> 01:01:49.000 end of it, and I put red food color in 1151 01:01:49.079 --> 01:01:52.000 the water in a bottle, and I got in the 1152 01:01:52.119 --> 01:01:55.920 pool with a damn set of goggles on and got 1153 01:01:56.039 --> 01:02:00.679 down and started sweeping spots, just barely putting out a 1154 01:02:00.760 --> 01:02:04.360 puff of red water, trying to see where it was going. 1155 01:02:05.280 --> 01:02:07.519 So I told her, I said, your pool is not leaking, 1156 01:02:07.719 --> 01:02:10.000 Well good, it's got to be leaking because it's going 1157 01:02:10.119 --> 01:02:16.000 down every damn night. Okay, just pull hose out and 1158 01:02:16.039 --> 01:02:16.960 that'll solve your problem. 1159 01:02:17.159 --> 01:02:20.599 Well that's great, and that is a great solution to 1160 01:02:20.639 --> 01:02:23.079 go going with the with the food coloring and trying 1161 01:02:23.119 --> 01:02:25.079 to get it because you didn't get that red to 1162 01:02:25.159 --> 01:02:27.320 leak out somewhere. You go up there it is, you know, 1163 01:02:27.400 --> 01:02:28.119 you got a little more. 1164 01:02:28.360 --> 01:02:30.119 You can see it. Yeah, And what I did, like 1165 01:02:30.480 --> 01:02:33.000 her where her pump in lit comes into the side 1166 01:02:33.039 --> 01:02:36.119 of the pool, you go around that fitting. If it's leaking, 1167 01:02:36.559 --> 01:02:37.559 it's going to pull it out. 1168 01:02:37.519 --> 01:02:40.360 That hole, right, some red will come out. It'll just 1169 01:02:40.480 --> 01:02:43.079 be that simple because you're putting it right there. Yeah, 1170 01:02:43.360 --> 01:02:45.199 I got you. Okay, it all makes sense. 1171 01:02:47.199 --> 01:02:50.000 But I scratched my head. Scratched my head, and then 1172 01:02:50.039 --> 01:02:53.119 I got to thinking about that damn water hook up, 1173 01:02:54.079 --> 01:02:55.760 and I thought, well, wait a minute, that thing is 1174 01:02:55.880 --> 01:02:59.880 designed to drain so it doesn't freeze in the winter, right, 1175 01:03:00.239 --> 01:03:02.800 And so that's when I went online and I looked 1176 01:03:02.840 --> 01:03:05.760 up the guts of how that thing was built. And 1177 01:03:05.840 --> 01:03:08.000 there's a little washer at the very bottom of it. 1178 01:03:08.480 --> 01:03:12.360 When you raise the handle, the washer comes up and 1179 01:03:12.559 --> 01:03:16.840 seals off one part of the hose bib, so your 1180 01:03:16.920 --> 01:03:19.320 water diverts and goes through the tube at the top 1181 01:03:20.159 --> 01:03:22.800 and comes out your hose. When you shut it off 1182 01:03:23.360 --> 01:03:27.320 and push it down, the rod goes down and a 1183 01:03:27.559 --> 01:03:30.920 washer seals off the upper part, but it allows everything 1184 01:03:30.960 --> 01:03:34.000 that's in that tube to drain out, right, so the exit. 1185 01:03:34.239 --> 01:03:36.719 So it was just if the hose is empty and 1186 01:03:36.840 --> 01:03:39.199 it has nothing to draw on, it can only draw 1187 01:03:39.280 --> 01:03:42.719 air down there and then that'll stop exactly. Yeah, So 1188 01:03:42.800 --> 01:03:45.639 I get it. That's that's functionally the way that should work. 1189 01:03:45.760 --> 01:03:48.400 But if you give it a water supply, it's going 1190 01:03:48.480 --> 01:03:55.039 to slowly, which is funny. Oh wow, that is funny. 1191 01:03:56.239 --> 01:03:58.239 I would never have thought of that though, because I 1192 01:03:58.360 --> 01:03:59.519 I drove him crazy. 1193 01:04:00.199 --> 01:04:02.559 I would I would probably still be scratching my head 1194 01:04:02.559 --> 01:04:04.559 over it because I would have never thought to look 1195 01:04:04.679 --> 01:04:07.360 to see how that's designed, like, you know, further onto, 1196 01:04:07.360 --> 01:04:09.480 because why would you think about it beyond you know, 1197 01:04:09.639 --> 01:04:12.000 thispicket if nothing's bulled. 1198 01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:14.119 I mean, and this is an eighteen foot pool, So 1199 01:04:14.239 --> 01:04:18.519 if there was a pinhole in the very bottom and 1200 01:04:18.719 --> 01:04:22.000 water was leaking out the bottom of the pool, you 1201 01:04:22.119 --> 01:04:22.960 wouldn't see it. 1202 01:04:23.280 --> 01:04:23.440 You know. 1203 01:04:23.559 --> 01:04:26.199 The soil that we have here is a real sandy loam, 1204 01:04:26.239 --> 01:04:29.320 and it's water drains through it real quick, right, So 1205 01:04:29.440 --> 01:04:31.480 if it was actually leaked, let's say in the very 1206 01:04:31.559 --> 01:04:35.079 middle of the pool, there was a pinhole in the floor, right, 1207 01:04:35.719 --> 01:04:39.360 and was leaking out there. Well, you wouldn't see a 1208 01:04:39.440 --> 01:04:41.400 wet spot in the yard. I mean, this pool is 1209 01:04:41.440 --> 01:04:44.559 eighteen feet across, right, it's going to soak into the 1210 01:04:44.599 --> 01:04:47.440 ground and keep right on going out. So I'm down 1211 01:04:47.519 --> 01:04:50.039 there with my nose like an inch off the bottom 1212 01:04:50.079 --> 01:04:52.719 of the pool, with this damn thing squirting out red 1213 01:04:52.800 --> 01:04:56.079 water for an hour. You know. I had a breathing 1214 01:04:56.159 --> 01:04:58.760 hose over the side of the pool so I could 1215 01:04:58.800 --> 01:05:01.760 stay down there and I'm squirting red water, and she's 1216 01:05:01.840 --> 01:05:04.320 watching me just as intently, like like, oh, you missed 1217 01:05:04.320 --> 01:05:07.480 a spot, you know, And I thought, God knows, I'm 1218 01:05:07.480 --> 01:05:09.320 gonna go crazy trying to figure out where this damn 1219 01:05:09.400 --> 01:05:12.119 hole is and come to find out it's just going 1220 01:05:12.199 --> 01:05:13.480 right back out the dale hose. 1221 01:05:13.920 --> 01:05:17.079 That's just hilarious. The simplest answer too. 1222 01:05:18.079 --> 01:05:18.239 Now. 1223 01:05:18.880 --> 01:05:22.079 And then when you remove the hose, never again another problem. 1224 01:05:22.159 --> 01:05:23.280 So there was no other breach. 1225 01:05:24.360 --> 01:05:27.239 Yeah, you're on the on the water system. If you 1226 01:05:27.360 --> 01:05:31.280 tell them you have a pool, they take your average 1227 01:05:31.360 --> 01:05:36.760 monthly amount of water before pool season, and then because 1228 01:05:36.840 --> 01:05:39.719 whatever however many gallons of water you use, they also 1229 01:05:39.880 --> 01:05:42.480 charge you a sewer feed. And what they do is 1230 01:05:42.519 --> 01:05:44.239 they take the number of gallons that they figure you 1231 01:05:44.360 --> 01:05:45.960 put in the pool and they don't charge you a 1232 01:05:46.039 --> 01:05:47.920 sewer feed for that. You still pay for the water, 1233 01:05:48.559 --> 01:05:50.480 but you don't have the matching sewer fee to go 1234 01:05:50.639 --> 01:05:52.719 with it. So you have to get on the pool 1235 01:05:52.800 --> 01:05:54.159 list at the beginning of the season. 1236 01:05:54.760 --> 01:05:58.920 I see, Okay, there you go, helpful hints. 1237 01:06:01.400 --> 01:06:02.360 For rural life. 1238 01:06:02.599 --> 01:06:06.239 Why not you know, with all these things going on though? 1239 01:06:06.360 --> 01:06:09.199 You know, it's like, how do you how do you 1240 01:06:09.360 --> 01:06:12.239 stop you know, the electric company from jacking you up 1241 01:06:12.280 --> 01:06:13.000 and everything else? 1242 01:06:13.079 --> 01:06:14.360 I mean you can't. 1243 01:06:14.599 --> 01:06:16.599 It's yes, it's impossible. 1244 01:06:17.360 --> 01:06:17.519 You know. 1245 01:06:17.719 --> 01:06:18.400 Here's this. 1246 01:06:18.880 --> 01:06:21.519 In fact, three months ago, Duke Power came out and said, 1247 01:06:21.559 --> 01:06:25.800 we want an eighteen percent increase statewide. We have a 1248 01:06:25.920 --> 01:06:29.679 utilities commission. Now, the utilities Commission is not here to 1249 01:06:29.760 --> 01:06:31.639 look out for you to make sure you're not getting 1250 01:06:31.639 --> 01:06:34.920 screwed over by whatever utility you are at the mercy 1251 01:06:35.000 --> 01:06:38.480 of Oh hell no, they're there just to set rates 1252 01:06:39.079 --> 01:06:43.199 and approve rate increases and make sure that the that 1253 01:06:44.000 --> 01:06:46.800 they're there to make sure that the utility is not 1254 01:06:47.039 --> 01:06:50.239 screwing the state. They don't care about the citizen, right, 1255 01:06:51.280 --> 01:06:54.480 So Duke Power wanted an eighteen percent increase. Well, they 1256 01:06:54.519 --> 01:06:57.840 turned them down. So Duke Power came with, Okay, we 1257 01:06:57.920 --> 01:07:01.280 need a twelve percent increase, turned them down. Now it's 1258 01:07:01.320 --> 01:07:04.840 sitting right out about nine and a half percent. Well, 1259 01:07:05.800 --> 01:07:08.159 and they're gonna go they're gonna battle over that nine 1260 01:07:08.199 --> 01:07:10.880 and a half percent. But if Duke could go down 1261 01:07:10.920 --> 01:07:12.679 to nine and a half percent, why the hell were 1262 01:07:12.719 --> 01:07:15.280 they asking for eighteen at the beginning. Yeah, because they 1263 01:07:15.320 --> 01:07:16.159 thought they could get it. 1264 01:07:16.480 --> 01:07:16.920 Exactly. 1265 01:07:18.320 --> 01:07:20.119 It's like, we're gonna try to screw and they've got 1266 01:07:20.159 --> 01:07:25.760 a monopoly here. Let's see here parts of Kentucky, parts 1267 01:07:25.800 --> 01:07:31.360 of South Carolina, parts of Tennessee, parts of Ohio, Illinois. 1268 01:07:31.440 --> 01:07:37.519 They're in about nine states. So I mean, how are 1269 01:07:37.559 --> 01:07:40.840 you gonna, you know, how you're gonna fight something that big? 1270 01:07:42.360 --> 01:07:44.880 You don't. You can't, right, I Mean, that's what it 1271 01:07:44.960 --> 01:07:47.360 comes down to anymore, is if it becomes large enough 1272 01:07:47.440 --> 01:07:49.760 forget it. I think we got Jimmy James back on 1273 01:07:49.880 --> 01:07:53.679 the line, So I'm gonna bring him back and see 1274 01:07:53.719 --> 01:07:59.000 what he's got to say. Hey, Jimmy, you're back. Yeah, 1275 01:08:00.960 --> 01:08:03.280 I don't know. You were just gone and I just 1276 01:08:03.440 --> 01:08:05.960 you know, continued on. I didn't say anything because I 1277 01:08:06.039 --> 01:08:08.199 was like, Okay, I guess you had to go. But 1278 01:08:08.719 --> 01:08:09.679 what else you got? 1279 01:08:12.800 --> 01:08:19.119 Well, clearly the internet guy it was here working on stuff. 1280 01:08:19.199 --> 01:08:23.680 He's done a bang up job. Every ten fifteen minutes, 1281 01:08:24.199 --> 01:08:25.760 the internet just clicks up. 1282 01:08:27.239 --> 01:08:30.600 Oh maybe that was the problem with you disappear and 1283 01:08:30.680 --> 01:08:33.039 maybe your your phone got clipped with it. I don't know. 1284 01:08:33.760 --> 01:08:35.399 Did he give you one of those systems where you 1285 01:08:35.479 --> 01:08:38.319 got to keep turning the switch on? Like the tennis 1286 01:08:38.359 --> 01:08:46.239 court bikes at night run fifteen minutes and that's all 1287 01:08:51.000 --> 01:08:56.000 tennis court do what know you've never seen? Oh Jimmy, 1288 01:08:56.159 --> 01:08:58.479 you haven't lived. Are you ever going to play tennis 1289 01:08:58.560 --> 01:09:01.279 at night? And this may be a weird quest, but 1290 01:09:01.840 --> 01:09:03.920 the town that's all the towns I've grown up in. 1291 01:09:04.039 --> 01:09:06.800 If you go to play tennis at night, they have lights, yep. 1292 01:09:06.920 --> 01:09:08.720 But you have to walk over to the far side 1293 01:09:08.720 --> 01:09:12.680 of the court and turn the knob on the timer. 1294 01:09:14.159 --> 01:09:16.439 And so like every forty five minutes you're in the 1295 01:09:16.479 --> 01:09:18.119 middle of playing. You know, you're trying to get a 1296 01:09:18.159 --> 01:09:20.279 whole set of tennis in, but every forty five minutes 1297 01:09:20.319 --> 01:09:22.319 you got to go over there and turn the light 1298 01:09:22.439 --> 01:09:26.119 timer back or it'll go forty five minutes and then 1299 01:09:26.199 --> 01:09:26.640 shut off. 1300 01:09:26.760 --> 01:09:27.439 It'll shut off. 1301 01:09:27.560 --> 01:09:31.880 Yeah, that's how they control the lights, you know those 1302 01:09:32.279 --> 01:09:34.159 Nobody walks away at night and the lights stay on 1303 01:09:34.279 --> 01:09:34.880 all night long. 1304 01:09:35.960 --> 01:09:38.840 Right now. 1305 01:09:38.920 --> 01:09:42.079 I've seen some places where the. 1306 01:09:43.840 --> 01:09:46.399 The craft has had a stinker fan that worked like 1307 01:09:46.560 --> 01:09:47.479 that end of timer. 1308 01:09:50.119 --> 01:09:52.119 See, they used to do that with night basketball in 1309 01:09:52.159 --> 01:09:55.000 the Northeast. Same thing with those timers. You know, it's 1310 01:09:55.079 --> 01:09:57.239 like you literally have to crank it all the way 1311 01:09:57.279 --> 01:09:59.560 around and it stops, and it only goes for like 1312 01:09:59.640 --> 01:10:01.560 you said, forty five minutes to a half hour. I 1313 01:10:01.640 --> 01:10:04.119 think maybe maybe some of them are half hour, but 1314 01:10:04.239 --> 01:10:06.800 that's it. That way, you can't possibly leave the lights 1315 01:10:06.840 --> 01:10:08.920 on and walk away, is the idea. 1316 01:10:09.880 --> 01:10:11.880 Yeah, most of the parks around here had them when 1317 01:10:11.880 --> 01:10:15.039 I was growing up, had him on the basketball courts. 1318 01:10:15.039 --> 01:10:19.720 I had them on the tennis courts, but not on 1319 01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:24.079 the ball field, which used to piss everybody off because 1320 01:10:24.079 --> 01:10:26.279 people would want to play softball at night or something 1321 01:10:26.359 --> 01:10:28.560 like that. Or you get like a church group down 1322 01:10:28.640 --> 01:10:31.359 there and they want to play a game, and if 1323 01:10:31.399 --> 01:10:35.520 you didn't make arrangements and pay a fee, you couldn't 1324 01:10:35.520 --> 01:10:36.640 have lights on the ball field. 1325 01:10:36.760 --> 01:10:38.439 Yeah, you literally had to get somebody to go down 1326 01:10:38.479 --> 01:10:39.319 there and turn nose on. 1327 01:10:40.399 --> 01:10:44.239 Yeah, yep, I guess there was too many lights to 1328 01:10:44.319 --> 01:10:45.039 put on a timer. 1329 01:10:45.359 --> 01:10:47.560 I guess I bet you it was. You know it 1330 01:10:47.600 --> 01:10:49.800 was possible, but that. 1331 01:10:49.960 --> 01:10:51.840 No, they wanted to make the money. That's a lot 1332 01:10:51.880 --> 01:10:54.000 of lights that cost the city a lot of money. 1333 01:10:54.079 --> 01:10:58.960 We need at least fifty bucks something. Yeah, call on 1334 01:10:59.079 --> 01:10:59.760 somebody's pocket. 1335 01:11:00.239 --> 01:11:02.720 You got to pay to play, right, That's true? 1336 01:11:04.560 --> 01:11:05.199 That is true. 1337 01:11:05.720 --> 01:11:08.159 What am I supposed to do? Everybody wants to squeeze 1338 01:11:08.159 --> 01:11:11.920 a bucket everything, and I get it, but damn sometimes 1339 01:11:11.960 --> 01:11:13.479 you know it's. 1340 01:11:13.359 --> 01:11:14.840 Going to get to the point people aren't going to 1341 01:11:14.920 --> 01:11:16.079 have any money to squeeze. 1342 01:11:16.600 --> 01:11:18.880 Well, see, that's what I'm wondering about. You know, eventually 1343 01:11:18.960 --> 01:11:22.600 you hit limits where you know, like McDonald's started to 1344 01:11:22.680 --> 01:11:25.039 discover that a few months ago. Now. They were supposed 1345 01:11:25.039 --> 01:11:28.600 to have adjusted all their prices, but I'm not hearing 1346 01:11:28.640 --> 01:11:31.680 about any grand adjustments. You know, they added a couple 1347 01:11:31.760 --> 01:11:35.880 of value menu items, but they didn't really change the 1348 01:11:36.000 --> 01:11:39.000 overall price for like people going to eat, Like if 1349 01:11:39.039 --> 01:11:41.560 you wanted to like feed your family McDonald's one night, 1350 01:11:42.159 --> 01:11:46.960 it's still a gigantic price. You know, Burger King is 1351 01:11:47.000 --> 01:11:51.840 offering coupons every month. But McDonald's, you know, they were 1352 01:11:51.880 --> 01:11:54.479 addressing this to their stockholders and saying, listen, you know 1353 01:11:54.560 --> 01:11:57.920 we've kind of accidentally priced out a huge portion of 1354 01:11:58.000 --> 01:12:01.880 our regular customers. So have you heard anything about that, 1355 01:12:02.000 --> 01:12:03.960 be Pete, Remember when we brought that up on the show. 1356 01:12:04.720 --> 01:12:07.119 Yeah, now I haven't since I've quit work. You know, 1357 01:12:07.239 --> 01:12:09.600 I'm not eating fast food as much as I used to. 1358 01:12:09.800 --> 01:12:12.840 But from what I'm from what I'm eating and what 1359 01:12:12.960 --> 01:12:15.960 people are telling me. You know, the price of lunch usually, 1360 01:12:17.279 --> 01:12:19.399 well used to you could go find a seven ninety 1361 01:12:19.479 --> 01:12:23.960 five lunch somewhere at Ruby Tuesdays at the Salad bar, 1362 01:12:24.359 --> 01:12:27.159 or you can go to Western Steer or something like 1363 01:12:27.239 --> 01:12:29.399 that and get the beef tips with onions and peppers 1364 01:12:29.439 --> 01:12:33.920 for seven ninety nine. Well you didn't forget that now, Yeah, 1365 01:12:34.880 --> 01:12:38.039 seven ninety nine. Seven ninety nine might get you a 1366 01:12:38.119 --> 01:12:40.960 drink and a burger at McDonald's. 1367 01:12:40.840 --> 01:12:43.159 Right, you know that's the thing. You need ten bucks 1368 01:12:43.560 --> 01:12:48.039 to get lunch of any kind, you know, at a 1369 01:12:48.119 --> 01:12:51.000 bare minimum, and generally speaking, to be safe, you need 1370 01:12:51.079 --> 01:12:54.640 a twenty dollar bill to buy lunch, yeah, which you 1371 01:12:54.720 --> 01:12:57.319 know is too much. And like I say, I sit 1372 01:12:57.439 --> 01:12:58.920 here and like every once in a while, you know, 1373 01:12:58.960 --> 01:13:00.800 I want to try to, like, you know, get burgers 1374 01:13:00.920 --> 01:13:04.279 or whatever for Frankie and also so you know, Kim 1375 01:13:04.359 --> 01:13:07.359 doesn't have to cook or whatever, and I can't do 1376 01:13:07.479 --> 01:13:10.000 it for like, I cannot feed the three of us 1377 01:13:10.119 --> 01:13:13.600 in any reasonable way for like under thirty bucks. 1378 01:13:14.439 --> 01:13:15.600 Ever, No, there's no way. 1379 01:13:16.000 --> 01:13:16.840 Yeah, there's no way. 1380 01:13:17.640 --> 01:13:19.560 You know. A friend of mine and I went to 1381 01:13:20.720 --> 01:13:23.159 Highway fifty five, which is a hamburger chain that we 1382 01:13:23.279 --> 01:13:26.840 have through here. It used to beat Andy's Burgers, and 1383 01:13:27.359 --> 01:13:29.079 we could go in there. The two of us could 1384 01:13:29.079 --> 01:13:33.359 sit down and grab the cheeseburger fries special and it 1385 01:13:33.479 --> 01:13:38.199 was about eight fifty with tax, it was right around 1386 01:13:38.279 --> 01:13:40.680 nine dollars and that was for your drink, fries, and 1387 01:13:41.199 --> 01:13:46.119 a good sized cheeseburger. Well, we went, this is probably 1388 01:13:46.279 --> 01:13:50.159 three weeks ago. We decided to go grab lunch. Got 1389 01:13:50.199 --> 01:13:52.119 the same thing that we get every time, and it 1390 01:13:52.319 --> 01:13:58.399 was almost eighteen dollars. Yeah, it's crazy. It's I don't 1391 01:13:58.920 --> 01:14:03.640 steaks now, you know, see on some of these steakhouses 1392 01:14:03.720 --> 01:14:07.359 a lone star places like that, you know, twenty six 1393 01:14:07.479 --> 01:14:11.079 dollars for a ribi baked potato and a salad. Well, 1394 01:14:11.119 --> 01:14:13.680 it used to you could get that for seventeen dollars, 1395 01:14:15.880 --> 01:14:16.960 but now it's almost thirty. 1396 01:14:18.159 --> 01:14:20.079 Well, I can't even afford to buy a steak at 1397 01:14:20.119 --> 01:14:22.640 home at this point, you know, again, feeding three people, 1398 01:14:22.720 --> 01:14:23.479 it's impossible. 1399 01:14:25.239 --> 01:14:27.399 Yeah, my grocery bill has gone up quite a bit. 1400 01:14:27.880 --> 01:14:32.920 I don't eat a lot of expensive things, but I've 1401 01:14:32.920 --> 01:14:36.199 gotten to where now when I buy meats, if it's 1402 01:14:36.319 --> 01:14:39.199 buy one, get one free, I definitely go and get that, 1403 01:14:40.399 --> 01:14:43.880 or get a family package of something and break it 1404 01:14:43.960 --> 01:14:45.199 down and put it in the freezer. 1405 01:14:45.399 --> 01:14:46.399 And that's your smart move. 1406 01:14:46.479 --> 01:14:49.000 Then, you know, you got to just the only way 1407 01:14:49.079 --> 01:14:51.640 to save money. And now that I'm on a fixed income, 1408 01:14:52.479 --> 01:14:56.039 you know it's I've had I've had to watch pennies. 1409 01:14:56.079 --> 01:15:00.359 Although I did see one item four years at food 1410 01:15:00.439 --> 01:15:04.399 Line you could get two packs of shredded cheese for 1411 01:15:04.520 --> 01:15:08.520 four dollars. Well, now, when COVID hit, it jumped up 1412 01:15:08.520 --> 01:15:11.600 to four twenty five, then it got up to four fifty, 1413 01:15:12.800 --> 01:15:15.079 then it got up to about four seventy five. For 1414 01:15:15.159 --> 01:15:17.479 the first time in five years. They had finally lowered 1415 01:15:17.520 --> 01:15:19.960 the price back down to two for four dollars. 1416 01:15:20.239 --> 01:15:22.760 Oh wow, Okay, so some. 1417 01:15:22.960 --> 01:15:25.439 Things are coming down, but it's awfully slow. 1418 01:15:26.039 --> 01:15:29.279 Well, I have I listen. We don't have food lions here, 1419 01:15:30.159 --> 01:15:32.640 and the Pigley Wiggly near me went out of business. 1420 01:15:33.800 --> 01:15:37.640 So uh, they opened some other weird grocery store there. 1421 01:15:37.760 --> 01:15:40.840 That's hard to believe. Man, Pigley Wigglies are so strong here. 1422 01:15:41.520 --> 01:15:43.960 See what I told you. The Pigley Wiggly here was 1423 01:15:44.079 --> 01:15:47.760 actually price gouging in the poor neighborhood because it was 1424 01:15:48.039 --> 01:15:50.840 pretty much the only like close by you got to 1425 01:15:50.880 --> 01:15:53.439 you gotta take a ride to go get to Kroger 1426 01:15:53.520 --> 01:15:57.800 or something, and really the closest next grocery store is Walmart, 1427 01:15:57.920 --> 01:16:00.479 but that's it's ways away. You know, it's not an 1428 01:16:00.479 --> 01:16:04.079 easy taxi oruber ride. And if you don't, you know, 1429 01:16:04.520 --> 01:16:09.479 I mean, I'm just saying it's easier to pay the 1430 01:16:09.920 --> 01:16:13.239 fee and have that stuff delivered from a Walmart or Kroger. 1431 01:16:13.279 --> 01:16:17.760 At the time, that's true, but Pigley Wiggily was higher 1432 01:16:17.840 --> 01:16:21.239 priced than any of them here, and nobody wanted to 1433 01:16:21.279 --> 01:16:23.720 believe me about it. But now they've actually finally literally 1434 01:16:23.760 --> 01:16:25.800 they've gone out of business. You remember there was a 1435 01:16:25.840 --> 01:16:29.640 Piggley Wiggly just right down the road from me. Yeah, 1436 01:16:29.720 --> 01:16:30.199 it's gone. 1437 01:16:31.479 --> 01:16:33.880 Wow, that's you know, that's that's hard for me to believe, 1438 01:16:33.920 --> 01:16:38.000 because they really stay strong here. In fact, Giggly Wiggily 1439 01:16:38.159 --> 01:16:40.159 is one of the fewest stores that still has a 1440 01:16:40.399 --> 01:16:43.239 in the house butcher. Food line has all gone to 1441 01:16:43.319 --> 01:16:46.760 prepackaged stuff. They got rid of all their uh, all 1442 01:16:46.800 --> 01:16:51.199 the butchers in the stores. Now we've got a little 1443 01:16:51.439 --> 01:16:55.560 The guy opened the store here in town that was 1444 01:16:55.640 --> 01:16:57.800 a Pigley Wiggly years and years ago, and then they 1445 01:16:57.920 --> 01:16:59.960 moved out. And then with the floods from the Hurricane 1446 01:17:00.199 --> 01:17:02.560 one store, they said, screw it, we built a new store. 1447 01:17:02.600 --> 01:17:04.079 It flooded, We're getting the hell out of it. So 1448 01:17:04.159 --> 01:17:06.159 for the longest time we didn't have grocery store here 1449 01:17:06.199 --> 01:17:08.920 and down. This guy opened this one up I think 1450 01:17:09.000 --> 01:17:14.840 three Christmases ago, and he's he's expensive on most things, 1451 01:17:15.840 --> 01:17:18.479 but his damn cuts of meat. Man, you can go 1452 01:17:18.560 --> 01:17:20.520 in there and spend four dollars and get you know, 1453 01:17:20.760 --> 01:17:24.399 three thick cut pork chops. You can get you know, 1454 01:17:25.079 --> 01:17:29.359 a whole chicken that's been cut and hand rubbed to 1455 01:17:29.479 --> 01:17:31.800 go on the grill for four dollars in something. 1456 01:17:32.119 --> 01:17:33.760 Oh, I can't even approach stuff like that. 1457 01:17:33.960 --> 01:17:35.960 He or No, Yeah, I mean his meat prices. I 1458 01:17:36.000 --> 01:17:38.159 don't know how he's doing it so cheap, but they're 1459 01:17:38.159 --> 01:17:41.039 the best cuts of meat. It's good meat. It's it's 1460 01:17:41.119 --> 01:17:45.079 not you know, it's not the worst of the choice. 1461 01:17:45.159 --> 01:17:47.600 He's getting top of the line. I'd get a whole 1462 01:17:47.720 --> 01:17:52.800 rack of ribs for seventeen dollars a full rack, and 1463 01:17:52.880 --> 01:17:53.439 that's cheap. 1464 01:17:54.159 --> 01:17:57.319 That's almost that's almost organized crime prices right there, be 1465 01:17:57.439 --> 01:17:57.880 beat up. 1466 01:17:57.840 --> 01:18:00.399 Down you now. Yeah, it's like falling off the top. Yeah, 1467 01:18:02.319 --> 01:18:05.760 so I'll spend a little more. We've got a dollar General. 1468 01:18:05.920 --> 01:18:09.800 We've got the grocery store just down the road. We've 1469 01:18:09.840 --> 01:18:12.439 got another dollar General. If I want to go seven 1470 01:18:12.520 --> 01:18:14.439 miles down the road, I've got a food line in 1471 01:18:14.479 --> 01:18:17.760 a Pigley Wiggy that I can go to and save money. 1472 01:18:18.000 --> 01:18:22.039 But still, you know, just keeping stuff here local, trying 1473 01:18:22.079 --> 01:18:24.760 to support this guy. I'd rather give him my business 1474 01:18:24.840 --> 01:18:27.920 and keep a grocery store here so that you can 1475 01:18:28.039 --> 01:18:30.479 run down there, you know, when you're getting ready to 1476 01:18:30.479 --> 01:18:33.560 fix Oh god, I need flour, I can go get flour, right, 1477 01:18:33.720 --> 01:18:35.680 you know, instead of having to run eight miles down 1478 01:18:35.720 --> 01:18:38.880 the road to get to another town. So it's worth 1479 01:18:38.960 --> 01:18:42.560 paying the little bit extra that you pay him, and 1480 01:18:42.680 --> 01:18:46.520 occasionally he gets stuff in there, like Stofer's meals and stuff. 1481 01:18:46.560 --> 01:18:50.079 He's got some in there that are costing three twenty five, 1482 01:18:50.560 --> 01:18:54.439 which cost you four fifty anywhere else. So he does 1483 01:18:54.600 --> 01:18:58.520 have some deals periodically, but for his meats. Hell, I'll 1484 01:18:58.560 --> 01:19:00.640 overpay for everything to get price that I'm getting all 1485 01:19:00.640 --> 01:19:02.159 the meats down there. You just can't beat it. 1486 01:19:02.439 --> 01:19:05.319 Yeah, right, Jimmy, what is the big grocery store? 1487 01:19:05.319 --> 01:19:05.680 When are you? 1488 01:19:10.399 --> 01:19:12.880 I wouldn't know. I go to Dollar Generals. 1489 01:19:13.560 --> 01:19:17.880 Okay, Well a lot of people are doing what you're doing, Jimmy. 1490 01:19:18.199 --> 01:19:20.439 You know, just going and shopping at Dollar General or 1491 01:19:20.600 --> 01:19:24.039 Family Dollars still, you know, and just using their grocery 1492 01:19:24.079 --> 01:19:26.720 section because they have like smaller things in there, and 1493 01:19:27.359 --> 01:19:29.239 you know, you can get stuff a little cheaper because 1494 01:19:29.239 --> 01:19:31.239 it's in a smaller bag and this kind of stuff. 1495 01:19:32.319 --> 01:19:35.159 Yeah, that's weird though. Here our Dollar General has got 1496 01:19:35.199 --> 01:19:40.600 a pretty good refrigerated frozen food section. But when you 1497 01:19:40.760 --> 01:19:44.800 go over to Aiden and you go in their Dollar General, 1498 01:19:45.399 --> 01:19:49.359 they're frozen foods and refrigerated foods are next to nothing. 1499 01:19:49.479 --> 01:19:53.199 I mean they have no space whatsoever. But they got 1500 01:19:53.279 --> 01:19:54.680 a shit ton of everything else. 1501 01:19:54.920 --> 01:19:57.479 You see Aiden is probably in a better neighbor Aiden 1502 01:19:57.560 --> 01:19:59.479 is a better neighborhood than where you are though, right. 1503 01:20:00.199 --> 01:20:02.680 Right, And they're right next to the food line. 1504 01:20:03.039 --> 01:20:04.800 Okay, well so they know, you. 1505 01:20:04.840 --> 01:20:06.760 Know, people are going to go through their grocery shopping 1506 01:20:06.800 --> 01:20:10.479 and food line. But I buy my coffee from Dollar General. 1507 01:20:10.640 --> 01:20:12.800 It's cheaper than what I can get at food line now, 1508 01:20:12.880 --> 01:20:15.399 and food line cut out the dark roast that I 1509 01:20:15.560 --> 01:20:19.439 used to buy of their own brand. And I'm not 1510 01:20:19.680 --> 01:20:23.399 spending twenty bucks for coffee when I can get it 1511 01:20:23.640 --> 01:20:25.840 for twelve dollars. Yeah, that Dollar General. 1512 01:20:26.039 --> 01:20:28.199 That's something that's gone up too is coffee. 1513 01:20:28.760 --> 01:20:30.199 Oh, coffee is through the nose now. 1514 01:20:30.439 --> 01:20:34.079 I mean it's brutal, you know. And that's like one 1515 01:20:34.119 --> 01:20:36.880 of the that's one of missus O's fuels. There is coffee. 1516 01:20:37.640 --> 01:20:39.359 Oh yeah, I drink it all day. You know, if 1517 01:20:39.399 --> 01:20:41.159 I only had a cup of day, I wouldn't care 1518 01:20:41.279 --> 01:20:44.079 that my my ten pack of cake cups has gone 1519 01:20:44.159 --> 01:20:48.159 up a dollar. Oh dear, you know, I drink I 1520 01:20:48.319 --> 01:20:50.720 drink coffee all day long. So I'm making you know, 1521 01:20:50.880 --> 01:20:53.960 six or seven cups, so it adds up. I'm not 1522 01:20:54.000 --> 01:20:56.079 going to spend twenty dollars on something that I can 1523 01:20:56.159 --> 01:21:00.000 get something that I like the taste of for twelve dollars, right. 1524 01:21:00.279 --> 01:21:03.319 No, it, but but it's still it has gone up 1525 01:21:03.439 --> 01:21:05.439 exponentially though, Oh it has. 1526 01:21:05.680 --> 01:21:08.479 If you're buying any kind of brand coffee from Folders 1527 01:21:08.560 --> 01:21:11.439 Maxwell House, all of it is expensive. It's ridiculous. 1528 01:21:11.880 --> 01:21:16.800 Yeah, I mean just almost double and priced some of it. Yeah, 1529 01:21:17.359 --> 01:21:19.640 you know, so, and forge I don't. 1530 01:21:19.439 --> 01:21:22.039 See how people with families, I don't see how they 1531 01:21:22.119 --> 01:21:22.359 do it. 1532 01:21:23.000 --> 01:21:25.479 Yeah. Well, that's the thing is, when I'm sitting here 1533 01:21:25.520 --> 01:21:27.119 dealing with the three of us, it's sort of like 1534 01:21:27.239 --> 01:21:29.279 I can make cuts if it was just for one 1535 01:21:29.319 --> 01:21:32.199 of us or two of us. But there's certain problems 1536 01:21:32.239 --> 01:21:33.640 of trying to feed three people that. 1537 01:21:33.720 --> 01:21:36.520 It's like, well, especially when you got a kid too, 1538 01:21:36.720 --> 01:21:38.520 you just don't want to feed them junk. You want 1539 01:21:38.560 --> 01:21:41.880 to feed them something that's you know, some semblance of healthy. 1540 01:21:42.199 --> 01:21:44.720 Well, and the other problem there is that when he 1541 01:21:44.840 --> 01:21:46.920 goes through a growth spurg because now he's you know, 1542 01:21:47.000 --> 01:21:49.159 he's gotten bigger since the last time you saw him. 1543 01:21:50.000 --> 01:21:52.439 He's he's taller than his mom by a shot now, 1544 01:21:53.920 --> 01:21:56.960 you know, and like, so he's grown quite a bit, 1545 01:21:57.760 --> 01:22:00.680 and sometimes he just like go was on an eating 1546 01:22:00.760 --> 01:22:05.359 bitch for a bit and just eats every damn thing. Like, 1547 01:22:05.520 --> 01:22:06.880 you know, I'll go out there and I'll be like, 1548 01:22:06.960 --> 01:22:08.760 what happened to the bread? You know, I had a 1549 01:22:08.800 --> 01:22:11.600 half a loaf of bread? I ate some bread. You 1550 01:22:11.840 --> 01:22:14.920 ate half a loaf of bread for what? Well? I 1551 01:22:15.039 --> 01:22:17.680 was hungry, okay, but what about the other ten things 1552 01:22:17.720 --> 01:22:20.840 you ate? You know, like it just he goes through 1553 01:22:20.920 --> 01:22:23.680 these time periods where he's just freaking hungry because he's growing. 1554 01:22:25.920 --> 01:22:28.800 And I do remember that sort of vaguely when I 1555 01:22:28.960 --> 01:22:32.079 was a kid. Other guys who definitely had more access 1556 01:22:32.119 --> 01:22:34.840 to food, But there were times when I was spending 1557 01:22:34.840 --> 01:22:38.039 a lot of money on food, you know. I mean 1558 01:22:38.079 --> 01:22:39.880 I would buy takeout food, and I would go sit 1559 01:22:39.920 --> 01:22:43.000 in restaurants myself and stuff. But I was making money. 1560 01:22:43.600 --> 01:22:45.800 But even when I was still growing a bit in 1561 01:22:45.920 --> 01:22:48.119 my teen years, Yeah, there were times when it was 1562 01:22:48.199 --> 01:22:50.520 like I could eat almost twenty four hours a day. 1563 01:22:51.319 --> 01:22:51.479 You know. 1564 01:22:51.640 --> 01:22:55.479 Well, that's like being in the military. You know, my 1565 01:22:55.640 --> 01:22:58.920 dad was retired maybe so he still had base privileges 1566 01:22:59.000 --> 01:23:02.640 after he retired, right, so you know up the road 1567 01:23:02.720 --> 01:23:06.000 thirty miles was Air Force base. We could go there 1568 01:23:06.039 --> 01:23:09.439 and go to the commissary. You had the commissary, which 1569 01:23:09.560 --> 01:23:12.680 was your grocery store, and then you had the exchange, 1570 01:23:13.079 --> 01:23:16.840 which was kind of like your best buy. They had 1571 01:23:16.880 --> 01:23:23.000 your clothes. It kind of like your Walmart clothes, electronics stuff, clocks, raisers, 1572 01:23:23.600 --> 01:23:27.439 you know all that stuff. Well, now on base you 1573 01:23:27.560 --> 01:23:32.800 can still find some good deals in the exchange and 1574 01:23:32.960 --> 01:23:35.279 save quite a bit of money, TVs things like that. 1575 01:23:36.640 --> 01:23:40.359 But I was talking with my brother who is retired Coastguard, 1576 01:23:41.119 --> 01:23:44.079 so he's got base privileges. They've stopped going to the 1577 01:23:44.159 --> 01:23:49.560 commissary because the prices in the commissary are just as 1578 01:23:49.680 --> 01:23:52.520 high as they are on the outside. So why drive 1579 01:23:52.680 --> 01:23:56.960 thirty miles, Yeah, just to go to the commissary when 1580 01:23:56.960 --> 01:23:58.840 you spend the same thing at home, and. 1581 01:23:58.920 --> 01:23:59.880 That was never the case. 1582 01:24:00.159 --> 01:24:02.399 You know, the military base is always cheaper. 1583 01:24:02.520 --> 01:24:06.720 Yeah, I mean people used to give money to, you know, 1584 01:24:06.880 --> 01:24:09.560 guys that were going to the military base to get 1585 01:24:09.640 --> 01:24:12.279 me this, you know what I mean, especially if you 1586 01:24:12.399 --> 01:24:15.119 had a need for something bigger. I mean one of 1587 01:24:15.159 --> 01:24:16.880 the big things. A long time ago, when they still 1588 01:24:16.960 --> 01:24:19.039 sold cigarettes on bases. I don't know if they still do, 1589 01:24:19.880 --> 01:24:21.920 but when they sold cigarettes on base, there was no 1590 01:24:22.079 --> 01:24:22.640 tax on them. 1591 01:24:23.159 --> 01:24:27.119 That was yeah, oh yeah, that was the biggest thing. 1592 01:24:27.159 --> 01:24:30.239 And you get those of the exchange, not at the Commissary. 1593 01:24:30.399 --> 01:24:32.560 But yeah, my brother will still go up there to 1594 01:24:32.640 --> 01:24:34.479 the exchange because you know, if he's looking for a 1595 01:24:34.520 --> 01:24:36.520 certain item, sometimes you get it cheaper there then you 1596 01:24:36.560 --> 01:24:39.760 can on Amazon or something like that. Right, but for groceries, 1597 01:24:40.920 --> 01:24:42.640 I asked him. I see he said no, he said, 1598 01:24:42.680 --> 01:24:44.920 we quit messing with the commissary.

Sure you know, over twenty 1654 01:27:40.119 --> 01:27:43.039 dollars for a Manila envelope stuffed with photographs. I mean, 1655 01:27:44.159 --> 01:27:48.600 that's crazy. Within the United States and in some cases 1656 01:27:48.680 --> 01:27:53.479 only sending stuff to Florida or Texas from Georgia. I mean, damn, 1657 01:27:54.560 --> 01:27:57.439 twenty five bucks for a Manila envelope full of anything? 1658 01:27:57.600 --> 01:28:01.079 Are you kidding me? I'm not going to flat rate envelope. Yeah, 1659 01:28:01.079 --> 01:28:01.359 go ahead. 1660 01:28:01.960 --> 01:28:04.119 I wouldn't be surprised when we start seeing the post 1661 01:28:04.159 --> 01:28:06.439 Office saying now we're going to start cutting every other 1662 01:28:06.520 --> 01:28:07.760 day deliveries. 1663 01:28:09.239 --> 01:28:12.399 Or something. Something is coming new new cuts to the 1664 01:28:12.479 --> 01:28:14.039 post Office. I don't know what it's going to be, 1665 01:28:14.239 --> 01:28:18.199 but well, yeah, I believe that's coming up too. I mean, 1666 01:28:18.239 --> 01:28:20.439 and and there's still a push to privatize it, by 1667 01:28:20.479 --> 01:28:24.319 the way, which I know with the disaster, you know, 1668 01:28:24.760 --> 01:28:25.600 well I look at. 1669 01:28:25.560 --> 01:28:26.640 It, you know, I spend. 1670 01:28:27.520 --> 01:28:30.520 They're one of the few things that's actually mentioned in 1671 01:28:30.720 --> 01:28:34.159 the Constitution that the government actually does have to do. 1672 01:28:34.720 --> 01:28:40.520 Yeah, that's true. That is true. They are one of 1673 01:28:40.600 --> 01:28:45.319 those few government agencies that is actually there. 1674 01:28:45.840 --> 01:28:48.840 And there's yeah, we got twenty seven that we don't need, 1675 01:28:49.119 --> 01:28:51.560 but they can't run the one that they are supposed to. 1676 01:28:51.960 --> 01:28:55.319 It kills me, of course, you know, but that's that's 1677 01:28:55.640 --> 01:28:58.319 that's good enough for government work. As they used to say, right, Jimmy. 1678 01:29:01.920 --> 01:29:05.479 Yeah, that's the motto of the bureaucracy. 1679 01:29:05.880 --> 01:29:10.760 There you go. Sorry, I don't mean to agree with 1680 01:29:10.880 --> 01:29:13.279 them or anything. I'm actually just saying in a mocking way. 1681 01:29:13.840 --> 01:29:17.239 But no, it's the most ridiculous thing. And I don't know. 1682 01:29:17.560 --> 01:29:19.920 I used to hear people complain about the post office, 1683 01:29:20.399 --> 01:29:24.399 and quite frankly, I thought it functioned pretty well, you know, 1684 01:29:24.880 --> 01:29:28.159 before the year two thousand, for sure, but even in 1685 01:29:28.199 --> 01:29:31.319 the early two thousands it functioned pretty damn well from 1686 01:29:31.840 --> 01:29:34.119 almost every time I used it, you know what I mean. 1687 01:29:35.119 --> 01:29:38.880 I've only gotten involved in wacky weirdness ever since, you know, 1688 01:29:39.039 --> 01:29:40.880 like like that package I had sent back to me 1689 01:29:40.960 --> 01:29:44.000 for no reason where you know, they told me I 1690 01:29:44.039 --> 01:29:46.239 didn't pay no postage, and meanwhile I went to the 1691 01:29:46.359 --> 01:29:49.000 counter and had them put the damn postage on it. 1692 01:29:49.880 --> 01:29:51.800 How the hell with the postage? 1693 01:29:51.840 --> 01:29:55.439 Yeah, you know, I gotta I gotta commend you on 1694 01:29:55.640 --> 01:29:58.039 not making that a you know, a front page item, 1695 01:29:58.079 --> 01:30:00.520 because if it had been me, he has seen it 1696 01:30:00.600 --> 01:30:01.720 on your six o'clock news. 1697 01:30:02.960 --> 01:30:05.439 I mean, because at the end of the day, right, 1698 01:30:05.840 --> 01:30:10.239 they still returned it to me, and effectively, what they 1699 01:30:10.600 --> 01:30:13.399 are they gonna give me a free shipment. Are they 1700 01:30:13.439 --> 01:30:17.119 gonna fix it that they're not? There is no solution 1701 01:30:17.319 --> 01:30:19.960 to that. It's just, you know, let me double check 1702 01:30:20.039 --> 01:30:21.720 and make sure this doesn't get sent back to me 1703 01:30:21.800 --> 01:30:26.600 a second time. Genius over there in the postal uniform. Uh, 1704 01:30:26.760 --> 01:30:29.239 but tell me what I did wrong, because I don't 1705 01:30:29.279 --> 01:30:29.520 get it. 1706 01:30:30.560 --> 01:30:33.720 Yeah, if it had been me, you'd have seen footage 1707 01:30:34.039 --> 01:30:37.760 on the six o'clock news of me marching some postal 1708 01:30:37.840 --> 01:30:41.640 employee out with the nozzle of a fire extinguisher taped 1709 01:30:41.680 --> 01:30:44.880 to his head, and it's like, if you guys don't 1710 01:30:44.960 --> 01:30:48.239 send this damn thing, I'm gonna freeze this guy's noggin off. 1711 01:30:49.399 --> 01:30:52.000 I mean, I'm serious. I would have gone postal, literally 1712 01:30:52.119 --> 01:30:55.079 gone postal over that. You know, that's an expression we 1713 01:30:55.199 --> 01:30:58.319 haven't heard in a long time. No, it's going postal. 1714 01:30:58.520 --> 01:31:01.680 It's actually one of those like political incorrect things. It's like, oh, 1715 01:31:01.760 --> 01:31:03.479 that's been being to postal workers. 1716 01:31:03.560 --> 01:31:08.520 You know, I know they're the ones that created it, right, 1717 01:31:09.800 --> 01:31:10.039 I know. 1718 01:31:13.000 --> 01:31:15.920 You know I was explained, you know, I was explaining 1719 01:31:16.000 --> 01:31:19.199 that to somebody because they used some old phrase. Oh 1720 01:31:19.279 --> 01:31:19.840 I know what it was. 1721 01:31:19.960 --> 01:31:20.159 It was. 1722 01:31:20.720 --> 01:31:22.199 I was talking to the guy who I did the 1723 01:31:22.439 --> 01:31:25.039 show with last night and before we did the show, 1724 01:31:25.119 --> 01:31:28.239 he said something about, you know, people say stuff like 1725 01:31:28.439 --> 01:31:31.640 it must be something in the water, and I think 1726 01:31:31.680 --> 01:31:34.199 they're right, and I went, yeah, but see, here's the 1727 01:31:34.279 --> 01:31:37.279 thing about that. There was a reason why that phrase 1728 01:31:37.399 --> 01:31:39.479 came to be in the first place, because it used 1729 01:31:39.479 --> 01:31:42.119 to be there was something in the damn water, because 1730 01:31:42.159 --> 01:31:44.840 the whole community would get affected because we all shared 1731 01:31:45.399 --> 01:31:50.600 centralized water sources, right, So if the whole community was affected, 1732 01:31:51.119 --> 01:31:53.199 somebody might go, well, damn, it must be something in 1733 01:31:53.239 --> 01:31:57.119 the water. Because it was the one common link. It 1734 01:31:57.279 --> 01:32:00.239 made sense. And then it didn't make sense to be well, 1735 01:32:00.279 --> 01:32:03.119 and it sounded like an archaic, you know, thing from 1736 01:32:03.319 --> 01:32:07.640 an old fashioned phrase or whatever, but it's still actually 1737 01:32:08.000 --> 01:32:10.279 fairly ethical. It makes sense. 1738 01:32:11.000 --> 01:32:13.680 Yeah, yeah, like the old phrase mad as a hatter, 1739 01:32:14.239 --> 01:32:16.079 uh huh, And it's like, where the hell did that 1740 01:32:16.199 --> 01:32:19.439 come from. Well, back when they used to make hats 1741 01:32:19.560 --> 01:32:22.119 out of beaver skin and things like that, they would 1742 01:32:22.159 --> 01:32:25.640 treat it with chemicals and formaldehyde and stuff like that, right, 1743 01:32:25.920 --> 01:32:29.880 and it would actually drive people crazy. So mad as 1744 01:32:29.920 --> 01:32:33.199 a hatter meant that you're as crazy as someone that's 1745 01:32:33.199 --> 01:32:36.960 been working in a hat haberdashery. And the man finally 1746 01:32:37.000 --> 01:32:39.760 went nuts. I mean there's yeah, there's a reason behind 1747 01:32:39.840 --> 01:32:40.319 those things. 1748 01:32:40.520 --> 01:32:42.840 Yeah, because they treated skins and things with you know, 1749 01:32:43.079 --> 01:32:45.279 arsenic and all kinds of weird stuff where people would 1750 01:32:45.279 --> 01:32:48.520 get poisoned and yeah, and they'd start to a crazy 1751 01:32:48.640 --> 01:32:52.399 because they were actually deranged from poisoning soaking into their 1752 01:32:52.479 --> 01:32:55.359 systems from the damn hat they were wearing. So mad 1753 01:32:55.399 --> 01:33:02.119 as a hatter is actually a sensible Yeah. People think 1754 01:33:02.159 --> 01:33:04.399 it comes from outs in Wonderland, and it's like, no, no, no, 1755 01:33:04.640 --> 01:33:09.640 it actually comes. Yeah, go ahead, Jimmy. 1756 01:33:10.680 --> 01:33:12.279 To cut full with mercury. 1757 01:33:12.920 --> 01:33:18.520 Mercury. That was one of the big problems. Yeah, and uh, 1758 01:33:18.880 --> 01:33:21.520 this in the this, oh oh. 1759 01:33:21.560 --> 01:33:26.039 I'm going in order and in search of the alternator, 1760 01:33:26.920 --> 01:33:30.399 I'll be in the general neighborhood of that mk ultrac 1761 01:33:31.159 --> 01:33:34.840 or no not mkul absolully. I mean now the guy 1762 01:33:34.960 --> 01:33:37.479 that the area fifty one guy, should I dropped in 1763 01:33:37.640 --> 01:33:38.000 on him? 1764 01:33:38.119 --> 01:33:41.279 Or what the area fifty one guy? Wait?

Because I would love to 1771 01:33:58.640 --> 01:34:00.479 hear an interaction between you that guy. 1772 01:34:02.640 --> 01:34:03.720 But you won't believe this. 1773 01:34:04.359 --> 01:34:06.920 So that guy, what's his name?

That's a proper perfect arm here 1821 01:36:25.199 --> 01:36:27.680 I got. I just pulled myself a stiff when I'll 1822 01:36:27.720 --> 01:36:32.680 be in bed here in a little bit. Hey, a 1823 01:36:32.800 --> 01:36:36.760 topic that that I want to talk about. It's kind 1824 01:36:36.760 --> 01:36:40.159 of a stress test and uh share you think about 1825 01:36:40.359 --> 01:36:44.159 the financial collapse in two thousand and eight, When did 1826 01:36:44.439 --> 01:36:47.520 when did that start? That started in the eighties with 1827 01:36:47.640 --> 01:36:51.000 a lot of b regulations and we had had the 1828 01:36:51.119 --> 01:36:54.039 savings and loan crisis, but also to in the meantime 1829 01:36:55.079 --> 01:36:58.479 started the big build up of the military industrial complex. 1830 01:36:58.680 --> 01:37:02.800 K Street took over the flock. Obvious they've dominated both 1831 01:37:02.880 --> 01:37:09.000 political parties and this Iran war is very extremely concerning. 1832 01:37:09.119 --> 01:37:11.840 I think this has been a war of choice. It's 1833 01:37:12.159 --> 01:37:16.239 not very well thought out, and it's really exposed if 1834 01:37:16.279 --> 01:37:18.560 you look at it as a stress test where we're 1835 01:37:18.600 --> 01:37:23.159 at because the Iranians have these Sharat drones and they're 1836 01:37:23.319 --> 01:37:26.560 what cost you maybe fifteen to twenty thousand dollars a bill, 1837 01:37:26.560 --> 01:37:29.119 and we get these intercept missiles that costs from one 1838 01:37:29.199 --> 01:37:32.520 to four million dollars in estimates, and we're limiting our 1839 01:37:32.600 --> 01:37:36.960 capability and they're striking all over the Middle East. This 1840 01:37:37.600 --> 01:37:38.600 is not going to go good. 1841 01:37:39.000 --> 01:37:41.920 See now this has been I was a bad guy 1842 01:37:42.039 --> 01:37:45.159 for bringing up something very similar to this, where I said, look, 1843 01:37:45.199 --> 01:37:49.479 they're using very cheap drones in comparison to the more 1844 01:37:49.560 --> 01:37:55.479 expensive weaponry that either US or Israel is utilizing. If 1845 01:37:55.960 --> 01:38:01.439 they can even remotely compete with us attrition over time, 1846 01:38:01.680 --> 01:38:03.680 the amount of money that it's going to cost us, 1847 01:38:04.079 --> 01:38:07.239 it's like watching what happened to the Soviet Union, where 1848 01:38:07.439 --> 01:38:11.319 you know, they invested so much money into the arms 1849 01:38:11.439 --> 01:38:13.680 race that you know a lot of people argue that's 1850 01:38:13.720 --> 01:38:18.159 what broke them was the arms race. Right, Well, if 1851 01:38:18.199 --> 01:38:21.960 we get involved in a real time race, but yeah. 1852 01:38:22.039 --> 01:38:25.039 A conflict. But also to remember in the eighties, the 1853 01:38:25.199 --> 01:38:30.279 Saudis flooded the oil market, right, the Soviets relied on 1854 01:38:30.399 --> 01:38:35.439 that oil revenue. In fact, that caused the US to 1855 01:38:35.600 --> 01:38:39.600 cap the Wells and Texas. So, yeah, the arms races, 1856 01:38:39.960 --> 01:38:44.920 it's and we're asking for another half five hundred billion 1857 01:38:44.960 --> 01:38:46.880 dollars more. I mean, this is absurd. 1858 01:38:47.439 --> 01:38:50.760 Well, and that's the thing is that just through attrition, 1859 01:38:51.279 --> 01:38:54.760 if we continue to engage in this and we're shooting 1860 01:38:55.039 --> 01:38:59.039 you know, one hundred thousand dollars million dollar weapons, okay 1861 01:38:59.199 --> 01:39:02.479 at a clip, and these guys are using twenty thousand 1862 01:39:02.520 --> 01:39:05.960 dollars drones, it just seems to me like, you know, 1863 01:39:06.119 --> 01:39:09.439 even though our revenue is a lot larger, we're going 1864 01:39:09.479 --> 01:39:13.439 to be spending at an exponential rate compared to the 1865 01:39:13.560 --> 01:39:17.800 combatants that we're dealing with. And that becomes a problem 1866 01:39:18.039 --> 01:39:20.399 that nobody wants to face. You know, when it comes 1867 01:39:20.439 --> 01:39:23.640 to modern warfare, is that if you have that kind 1868 01:39:23.680 --> 01:39:27.760 of a cost differential, Okay, unless the Chinese are going 1869 01:39:27.800 --> 01:39:31.359 to step in and give and give somebody dirt cheap technology, 1870 01:39:31.840 --> 01:39:34.279 which I don't think it'll be us that they'll give 1871 01:39:34.319 --> 01:39:37.840 it to. You know, that's how you tip the scale 1872 01:39:38.199 --> 01:39:41.960 is by attrition and financial And I brought this up 1873 01:39:42.039 --> 01:39:45.920 when this first happened, that you know, if you're utilizing 1874 01:39:45.960 --> 01:39:48.319 stuff like that, and if they're triggering stuff like the 1875 01:39:48.399 --> 01:39:52.760 Iron Dome in Israel, right, which is an expensive bit 1876 01:39:52.840 --> 01:39:57.680 of technology, if you're triggering that, but you're using cheap 1877 01:39:57.760 --> 01:40:02.359 ass drones to do it, and you're also engaging with 1878 01:40:02.640 --> 01:40:05.960 you know, many millions of dollars worth of hardware that's 1879 01:40:05.960 --> 01:40:09.840 shooting again millions of dollars worth of munitions, and you're 1880 01:40:09.880 --> 01:40:14.079 doing it with twenty thousand dollars pieces of technology, you know, 1881 01:40:14.239 --> 01:40:19.159 where you could literally you know, put out fifty to one, right, 1882 01:40:19.960 --> 01:40:24.760 It becomes a problem. It's mathematics is the issue. You know, 1883 01:40:24.960 --> 01:40:27.840 forget about what's right and wrong. It's a matter of 1884 01:40:28.159 --> 01:40:30.760 somebody's going to run out of money here, and somebody's 1885 01:40:30.800 --> 01:40:34.800 going to run out of resources, and you know, if 1886 01:40:34.880 --> 01:40:37.560 you're spending it like that, it's sort of like, you know, hey, look, 1887 01:40:37.840 --> 01:40:40.159 I can go on five family vacations for one hundred 1888 01:40:40.159 --> 01:40:43.319 thousand dollars. Great, Well you can go on one big 1889 01:40:43.439 --> 01:40:45.880 vacation for a million dollars. But if I'm going to 1890 01:40:45.960 --> 01:40:48.000 try and go out on five more and I spend 1891 01:40:48.000 --> 01:40:51.119 a million dollars each time, somebody's going to run low 1892 01:40:51.159 --> 01:40:53.600 on their bank account faster than the other person, aren't they? 1893 01:40:54.279 --> 01:40:57.039 You know, So I don't know, man, You know, I 1894 01:40:57.159 --> 01:40:58.960 brought that up and it was sort of like shut 1895 01:40:59.039 --> 01:41:01.239 down everywhere, went and tried to talk about it. 1896 01:41:02.479 --> 01:41:06.479 But well, we're on the same we're basically kind of 1897 01:41:06.520 --> 01:41:08.800 on the same page or seeing the same thing. And 1898 01:41:09.039 --> 01:41:10.880 what I was trying to make is a comparison like 1899 01:41:10.960 --> 01:41:11.720 a stress test. 1900 01:41:11.880 --> 01:41:12.039 You know. 1901 01:41:12.680 --> 01:41:15.520 Even they're saying, hey, all the banking, you know, you know, 1902 01:41:16.199 --> 01:41:20.840 all the everything was fine, but in reality it wasn't 1903 01:41:21.079 --> 01:41:23.880 you know this thing. You know, they're begging for that 1904 01:41:24.039 --> 01:41:28.319 kind of money. And I heard some of the military 1905 01:41:28.439 --> 01:41:31.159 generals not not the guy who wants to test faster 1906 01:41:31.279 --> 01:41:36.720 in place therapy actually knows, you know, strategy and war 1907 01:41:36.800 --> 01:41:39.800 and you know, how are you going to do the 1908 01:41:39.880 --> 01:41:43.720 long term? We got some serious problems coming up, and 1909 01:41:44.119 --> 01:41:46.279 I don't think we're in the mood for this. By 1910 01:41:46.319 --> 01:41:48.359 the way, is when is one of the Trump's going 1911 01:41:48.439 --> 01:41:49.159 to go fight for war? 1912 01:41:50.640 --> 01:41:51.680 Yeah, good luck on that. 1913 01:41:53.680 --> 01:41:56.479 When are you gonna put Baron in there? He's he's fighting. 1914 01:41:56.239 --> 01:41:59.880 Age, Well, he's fighting age. He's a pretty tall kid. 1915 01:42:00.199 --> 01:42:03.079 I don't know, you know what, what can you say? 1916 01:42:03.199 --> 01:42:05.640 I'm always asking when are the people that you know 1917 01:42:05.800 --> 01:42:08.079 make the decisions about the warfare going to send their 1918 01:42:08.079 --> 01:42:13.640 own children in? They usually don't, you know. So yeah, 1919 01:42:14.439 --> 01:42:18.279 but here we go, you know, it becomes it becomes 1920 01:42:18.319 --> 01:42:21.000 the issue of well, you know, let's just say there 1921 01:42:21.119 --> 01:42:24.279 is a moral imperative to this. I'm not even assuming 1922 01:42:24.359 --> 01:42:26.560 that there is, because I don't believe there is. That's 1923 01:42:26.640 --> 01:42:28.560 my point of view, but I'm not looking to argue 1924 01:42:28.600 --> 01:42:32.279 it right now. Let's just assume that there is. There 1925 01:42:32.479 --> 01:42:36.760 is simply a reality here. Like I said, it's mathematics 1926 01:42:36.880 --> 01:42:44.119 it's a matter of really more than anything, it's you know, 1927 01:42:44.199 --> 01:42:48.359 it's a matter of geometry, because just exponentially, you cannot 1928 01:42:49.239 --> 01:42:54.720 do something without end There has to be you know, 1929 01:42:54.960 --> 01:42:57.800 limitations here, and I mean, if you want to spend 1930 01:42:57.880 --> 01:43:01.479 for the next twenty years again on another you know, 1931 01:43:01.720 --> 01:43:05.560 let's call it another war on terror. I don't think 1932 01:43:05.600 --> 01:43:08.840 it panned out all that well, being in Afghanistan for 1933 01:43:09.079 --> 01:43:12.399 a couple of decades, you know, I mean, I'm just saying, 1934 01:43:12.479 --> 01:43:14.319 what did we get back for it. We didn't get 1935 01:43:14.359 --> 01:43:18.600 back oil, We didn't get back you know, gained significantly 1936 01:43:18.680 --> 01:43:21.439 in the region. It doesn't seem like and I think 1937 01:43:21.479 --> 01:43:25.359 this will be even less profitable and maybe more costly, 1938 01:43:25.680 --> 01:43:28.399 because as we have been talking about this whole show, 1939 01:43:28.479 --> 01:43:31.960 everything costs more anyway, and the only winners are going 1940 01:43:32.000 --> 01:43:33.920 to be the people that manufacture this stuff. 1941 01:43:34.000 --> 01:43:38.960 So, yeah, excellon and mobile there. They've made record profits 1942 01:43:39.000 --> 01:43:42.000 this quarter, of course, they did record profits. 1943 01:43:43.600 --> 01:43:48.199 Yeah. Yeah, because if you believe for a moment, yeah, 1944 01:43:48.279 --> 01:43:50.560 if you believe for a moment that the oil industry 1945 01:43:50.760 --> 01:43:53.720 is charging you what they charge you because of the 1946 01:43:54.039 --> 01:43:56.840 market conditions and it's necessary, you're out of your mind. 1947 01:43:58.319 --> 01:44:03.199 They are outpacing as per usual, the actual cost of 1948 01:44:03.239 --> 01:44:08.279 inflation as always, and they're driving inflation, you know, and 1949 01:44:08.479 --> 01:44:15.239 still maintaining a velocity by which they're still so profitable 1950 01:44:15.319 --> 01:44:18.119 for their shareholders that they're well ahead of the game. 1951 01:44:19.560 --> 01:44:22.520 So you know, tell me again how this is supposed 1952 01:44:22.560 --> 01:44:25.359 to work. And like I said, they're one of the 1953 01:44:25.439 --> 01:44:28.880 main drivers of the inflation, and still they're beating inflation 1954 01:44:29.720 --> 01:44:32.079 as far as the money they're taking in. So you 1955 01:44:32.199 --> 01:44:34.520 mean to tell me they couldn't, you know, somehow reset 1956 01:44:34.760 --> 01:44:37.359 or tone back some of these profits are making, you know, 1957 01:44:37.479 --> 01:44:38.439 on the retail end. 1958 01:44:38.880 --> 01:44:39.239 No way. 1959 01:44:40.319 --> 01:44:42.720 And I saw that when you know, when the things happened, 1960 01:44:42.760 --> 01:44:46.239 when nine to eleven happened, I watched. I watched it 1961 01:44:46.319 --> 01:44:49.760 occur like in real time, like I said, ninety days 1962 01:44:49.840 --> 01:44:52.840 before any effect was to be had on the supply, 1963 01:44:53.920 --> 01:44:56.279 all this stuff jacked up ten cents a day. Ten 1964 01:44:56.399 --> 01:44:59.279 cents a day doesn't sound like a lot, but ten 1965 01:44:59.359 --> 01:45:03.640 cents a day for two weeks jacked up the oil 1966 01:45:03.720 --> 01:45:07.039 price and jacked up the gas price. And you know, 1967 01:45:07.520 --> 01:45:09.880 this is when we went from a dollar in something 1968 01:45:10.039 --> 01:45:12.479 or under a dollar for a gallon of gas to 1969 01:45:12.720 --> 01:45:14.760 now the reality of there's no way it ever goes 1970 01:45:14.840 --> 01:45:19.000 below two or three dollars. Again, is when that happened, 1971 01:45:19.479 --> 01:45:21.880 you know, and they did it well ahead of any 1972 01:45:22.000 --> 01:45:23.560 real world effect on the supply. 1973 01:45:23.800 --> 01:45:30.079 Yeah, I paid three seventy four a gallon to three 1974 01:45:30.199 --> 01:45:31.640 seventy four. It's crazy. 1975 01:45:31.880 --> 01:45:35.239 You can't you can't find three seventy four in California. 1976 01:45:35.319 --> 01:45:37.119 Yeah, Dan, he's lamping because you're in California. 1977 01:45:38.119 --> 01:45:43.600 Well, hey, would you live in you know, Soviet West? 1978 01:45:43.880 --> 01:45:47.399 I mean, you guys are the reason that your gas 1979 01:45:47.520 --> 01:45:49.880 is six and seven dollars a gallon is because of 1980 01:45:49.960 --> 01:45:52.319 why the crap that you got to deal with? What? 1981 01:45:52.640 --> 01:45:56.239 Why are you the reason why I'm. 1982 01:45:56.399 --> 01:46:01.520 Your regulations for one? What? Seriously the bootique blends in 1983 01:46:01.600 --> 01:46:03.560 that that they have to run out there, that jack's 1984 01:46:03.600 --> 01:46:08.319 the cost up because we don't have the facilities. Yeah, 1985 01:46:08.319 --> 01:46:10.000 I mean, so you look at that, you look at 1986 01:46:10.000 --> 01:46:14.199 the added taxes. You know, every municipality wants their gas tax, 1987 01:46:14.279 --> 01:46:16.399 and then you've got your general sales tax and then 1988 01:46:16.439 --> 01:46:19.680 your state gas tax. I mean, it just it come. 1989 01:46:19.800 --> 01:46:22.039 It's a compound effect, and it's going to drop it. 1990 01:46:22.199 --> 01:46:25.399 It's going to knock it up there too, to seven 1991 01:46:25.479 --> 01:46:26.119 bucks a gallon. 1992 01:46:27.319 --> 01:46:31.760 Yeah, no, there there's a lot of factors. And one 1993 01:46:31.800 --> 01:46:33.880 of the things is is one of the things in 1994 01:46:33.960 --> 01:46:38.159 California is we have three major basins and if we 1995 01:46:38.239 --> 01:46:43.359 didn't have the blended and the commissions controls, it would 1996 01:46:43.439 --> 01:46:46.319 just go look at the smog in the forties in 1997 01:46:46.399 --> 01:46:50.600 the early fifties. I mean, oh absolutely, gay words. Yeah, 1998 01:46:50.680 --> 01:46:52.720 that's the reason why we have it. And some of 1999 01:46:52.760 --> 01:46:55.119 it and some of it is it's a combination of 2000 01:46:55.119 --> 01:46:57.560 a lot of things. But you know, compared as far 2001 01:46:57.640 --> 01:47:00.359 as the taxes that that's not the main issues. The 2002 01:47:00.399 --> 01:47:04.880 main issues the lens and also too our refining capacity 2003 01:47:05.119 --> 01:47:08.520 and guess what, supply and demand. The three ways are full, 2004 01:47:08.600 --> 01:47:12.560 the gas stations are full. I mean that that that's 2005 01:47:12.680 --> 01:47:14.520 it's it's a lot of different factors. 2006 01:47:14.920 --> 01:47:17.439 Well, here's the thing. Federal law. 2007 01:47:17.880 --> 01:47:21.000 Look, it was so pretty much capitals out here. 2008 01:47:21.479 --> 01:47:24.760 Yeah, but the federal law, if you wanted to, you 2009 01:47:24.880 --> 01:47:27.239 could go into a regular gas station if they know 2010 01:47:27.319 --> 01:47:29.000 what they're doing and they have people that you know, 2011 01:47:29.199 --> 01:47:31.760 actually know how to run a gas station. If it's 2012 01:47:31.840 --> 01:47:35.520 not fully automated, you can request to see a bill 2013 01:47:35.560 --> 01:47:41.640 of lading and you can see precisely what the taxes 2014 01:47:41.720 --> 01:47:43.960 are and everything that are on every gallon of gas, 2015 01:47:45.000 --> 01:47:47.600 because you know, in New Jersey, as I've stated on 2016 01:47:47.680 --> 01:47:50.520 this program, you know, thirty two point nine cents was 2017 01:47:50.600 --> 01:47:54.119 the total per gallon, and that was everything. And that's 2018 01:47:54.119 --> 01:47:56.239 why you see nine tenths on the signs all over 2019 01:47:56.319 --> 01:47:59.640 the country. Is because a couple of federal taxes come 2020 01:47:59.720 --> 01:48:02.359 together and it's like point two and point seven cents 2021 01:48:02.439 --> 01:48:02.800 or whatever. 2022 01:48:03.680 --> 01:48:06.279 Right, but you take somewhere as big as California and 2023 01:48:06.359 --> 01:48:08.880 you throw on it. Well, just look at transportation costs 2024 01:48:09.439 --> 01:48:13.800 from moving gasoline. Okay, it's all handled by unions, which 2025 01:48:13.880 --> 01:48:16.640 is going to inflate the price. The cost of transportation 2026 01:48:17.000 --> 01:48:20.239 is up everywhere. That's gonna affect the price. Well, don't 2027 01:48:20.239 --> 01:48:22.720 you can drive a tractor trader here cheaper than you 2028 01:48:22.760 --> 01:48:24.720 can drive a tractor trader in California? 2029 01:48:24.800 --> 01:48:26.760 Well maybe, but I don't know what. I don't know 2030 01:48:26.880 --> 01:48:30.960 what the logistics are for distribution out there either. 2031 01:48:31.600 --> 01:48:33.840 Uh, well, didn't Danny. Didn't they just close down a 2032 01:48:33.880 --> 01:48:35.159 big refinery or something? 2033 01:48:35.279 --> 01:48:38.880 They actually they closed down to one closed Okay, one 2034 01:48:39.039 --> 01:48:42.319 was closed down because they actually had a fire. Okay, 2035 01:48:42.359 --> 01:48:44.880 one was set closed down a long time ago. Another 2036 01:48:44.920 --> 01:48:47.760 one was the Blair of one and they closed down. 2037 01:48:47.840 --> 01:48:52.000 But here's the thing they were they were found guilty 2038 01:48:52.079 --> 01:48:54.279 of twenty years of cheating on the air commissioned so 2039 01:48:54.359 --> 01:48:58.840 they wanted, you know, to find them and they told, uh, California, 2040 01:48:58.920 --> 01:49:01.560 you need to pay for the upgrades. And they told 2041 01:49:01.600 --> 01:49:03.640 them to stick it. And then what they did is 2042 01:49:03.760 --> 01:49:07.640 they they found that two tax I think two tax gimmicks. 2043 01:49:07.960 --> 01:49:11.439 They're gonna make more money by writing off the closes 2044 01:49:11.520 --> 01:49:13.640 down and you know, they know that they're gonna ship 2045 01:49:13.680 --> 01:49:15.800 it in and we're still gonna buy it at a 2046 01:49:15.880 --> 01:49:16.479 higher price. 2047 01:49:16.640 --> 01:49:18.640 Well, because you know, just look at the cost of 2048 01:49:18.760 --> 01:49:20.920 operating the ports to get it in and get it out. 2049 01:49:21.079 --> 01:49:24.319 You know what those environment Do you have any idea 2050 01:49:24.359 --> 01:49:28.079 with another There's not gonna be a there's not gonna 2051 01:49:28.079 --> 01:49:28.960 be a steep decline. 2052 01:49:28.960 --> 01:49:32.119 There's still gonna be profitable and we're gonna pay the price. 2053 01:49:32.680 --> 01:49:35.680 Right with a multiple thing, I mean, I mean you 2054 01:49:35.760 --> 01:49:38.159 could you could point one thing, there's four thingers pointing 2055 01:49:38.199 --> 01:49:41.279 to the other direction. It's not just one simply one thing. 2056 01:49:41.600 --> 01:49:44.279 Well, no, I was gonna and I was going to 2057 01:49:44.319 --> 01:49:46.680 point out something. If you had something shut down after 2058 01:49:46.760 --> 01:49:49.479 it was challenged because of like a long period of 2059 01:49:50.079 --> 01:49:54.720 environmental environmental violations. Let me tell you something, the structure 2060 01:49:54.880 --> 01:50:00.319 of those violations is so harsh. Uh, Like even running 2061 01:50:00.319 --> 01:50:02.520 a gas station, just a gas station, you could be 2062 01:50:02.600 --> 01:50:06.199 fined up to ten thousand dollars a day if you 2063 01:50:06.239 --> 01:50:10.359 don't have a proper log okay, keeping track up, I 2064 01:50:10.439 --> 01:50:14.039 get it. Yeah, And that's just to keep track of 2065 01:50:14.079 --> 01:50:14.760 the amount of gas. 2066 01:50:15.439 --> 01:50:18.800 Not only that, Not only that. Look at the cost 2067 01:50:18.880 --> 01:50:22.760 of just emissions in California. We went before I divorced, 2068 01:50:22.880 --> 01:50:25.640 we went and bought a sea do boat, but I 2069 01:50:25.760 --> 01:50:30.399 bought one with California level emissions because when I got 2070 01:50:30.439 --> 01:50:32.960 ready to sell it, being able to be used a 2071 01:50:33.000 --> 01:50:37.239 state of California it's worth more. So sure we bought 2072 01:50:37.319 --> 01:50:40.600 the one that met the California emissions. It cost me 2073 01:50:40.840 --> 01:50:44.000 an extra four hundred and fifty dollars for that boat 2074 01:50:45.000 --> 01:50:47.800 because of the changes that they had to make to 2075 01:50:47.960 --> 01:50:51.680 meet California admissions. And this is on a three cylinder 2076 01:50:51.760 --> 01:50:55.039 engine inside of a boat, fuel injected. It's not a 2077 01:50:55.119 --> 01:50:57.800 small problem. It's mad, you know, a little seade run about. 2078 01:50:58.520 --> 01:51:00.399 And it cost me an extra four one hundred and 2079 01:51:00.399 --> 01:51:03.880 fifty bucks just to be able to meet those emissions. 2080 01:51:03.920 --> 01:51:06.600 So look at what that's costing every vehicle out there, 2081 01:51:07.479 --> 01:51:10.279 every vehicle, every trolley. What are they getting ready to 2082 01:51:10.359 --> 01:51:13.119 out aren't they getting ready to put a moratorium on 2083 01:51:13.279 --> 01:51:16.880 trucks that are of a certain age. They can't operate 2084 01:51:16.920 --> 01:51:18.760 in California anymore because of a mission. 2085 01:51:18.920 --> 01:51:23.680 Also, there's also been tax incentives to give the operators, 2086 01:51:23.880 --> 01:51:24.920 like tax break speak. 2087 01:51:25.119 --> 01:51:26.079 Yeah, they're trying to. 2088 01:51:26.079 --> 01:51:28.960 Get rid of older trucks. It's just like the missions 2089 01:51:28.960 --> 01:51:31.560 that you do even with cars. They're trying to get 2090 01:51:31.880 --> 01:51:33.239 rid of gross spoiters. 2091 01:51:33.279 --> 01:51:34.000 It gets stricter. 2092 01:51:36.039 --> 01:51:38.279 So anyway, look we're down to the last couple of 2093 01:51:38.359 --> 01:51:41.079 minutes here, guys. So fortunately I got to sort of 2094 01:51:41.319 --> 01:51:44.600 end this conversation because Aaron Brawns is ready and waiting 2095 01:51:44.640 --> 01:51:47.720 in the wings. He's even gone into the Ocelli chat room, which, 2096 01:51:47.840 --> 01:51:49.960 by the way, we got operating again. If you're hearing 2097 01:51:50.079 --> 01:51:52.800 us live, or even if not, you can always roll 2098 01:51:52.840 --> 01:51:56.319 it back. But the Ocelli chat room is again working. 2099 01:51:56.520 --> 01:51:58.399 I still haven't been able to clear up the code 2100 01:51:58.479 --> 01:52:01.239 problem for putting it on the website right, but I 2101 01:52:01.319 --> 01:52:04.359 got it back to working, big old pain in the neck. 2102 01:52:04.399 --> 01:52:07.399 I redid the code and it works. I don't know why, 2103 01:52:07.720 --> 01:52:11.479 but it's not working to stick on the website like 2104 01:52:11.600 --> 01:52:15.199 it should still. But anyway, it is available for everybody 2105 01:52:15.239 --> 01:52:17.840 to use. So there's a link. If you go to 2106 01:52:17.920 --> 01:52:19.840 the Listen Live page, you can find it and click 2107 01:52:19.920 --> 01:52:22.439 on it and go to the chat room. But anyway, 2108 01:52:24.159 --> 01:52:26.479 so Danny, go ahead and throw us a final word, 2109 01:52:26.560 --> 01:52:28.279 and I'll try and get back around to Jimmy James 2110 01:52:28.319 --> 01:52:29.720 and then close this out. Yeah. 2111 01:52:30.600 --> 01:52:32.880 Well, well, thank you for letting me, let me on 2112 01:52:33.119 --> 01:52:39.079 and chat. And I appreciate EP because you are making 2113 01:52:39.159 --> 01:52:42.359 good points that there are things to look at why 2114 01:52:42.600 --> 01:52:47.960 it is hiring California, and but I just you know, 2115 01:52:48.159 --> 01:52:50.880 just look at the stress test. I think we're under 2116 01:52:50.920 --> 01:52:52.880 a lot of stress tests, and I think it's really 2117 01:52:53.880 --> 01:52:56.680 looking in that way what our military is doing and 2118 01:52:56.800 --> 01:53:01.399 how effect how effective it is, and what these contractors 2119 01:53:01.479 --> 01:53:03.720 are they really get, you know, they just walking away 2120 01:53:03.760 --> 01:53:10.239 with money and we're just you know, we're least effective military. 2121 01:53:10.640 --> 01:53:12.600 I mean, we have the most expensive military. I'm not 2122 01:53:12.640 --> 01:53:15.600 sure we're getting the bang for the buck that makes sense. 2123 01:53:15.760 --> 01:53:18.720 That's always the big question.
