    Yes, I Could, But I Probably Wouldn’t

    Bryan's stuck driving back from Amarillo, so Rich and Ron start without him. Ron's two-hour Jeep shelf job turns into four and a half hours, and a four-piston air compressor and some very questionable hot rod trailering from Cruisin' the Coast round out his week. Then Rich drops the news that he's ordered a 3D printer, and his project list jumps from about 22 to about 75 in one afternoon: lighted frames for his pour paintings, a homemade Spirograph, ugly toe charms for size 13 Crocs, a brake rotor clock, and a toilet paper holder with a hinged lid. The hurricane hits at 18 miles an hour and just dies, Rich's guy lines and antenna survive it, and his hearing aids quit on him. When Bryan finally shows up he gets caught up on the printer, recaps a long day at the courthouse, and takes the show through the Ilhan Omar raid, the Minnesota fraud numbers, and why he says privateering is still legal in the U.S. Rich and Bryan trade notes on Windows 11 bloatware, bombers, and prepper-video burnout. Bryan brings up Susan Dell's face, Ron supplies the Adam's apple and ugly-tree lines, and Bryan takes the comedy tangent from Gabriel Iglesias to Josh Johnson before the Site of the Week: ArtCraft, a stack of free open-source Adobe clones.

  • Pull the Thermostat, Pay the Cheese Tax

    Pull the Thermostat, Pay the Cheese Tax
    12 Oct 2026
    Bryan, Rich, and the Duuude get together for another round of life, mostly unplanned, with Rich and Ron in the same room for Cruisin' the Coast week. Bella slides out of her harness during a Jeep ride and ends the day with a new harness and a Lamb Chop toy. Thousands of hot rods roll into town, a dozen of them break down in the driving lanes, and the rain cancels the drag races. From there it's pull-the-thermostat theory, Rock Auto prices, Mopar coolant, control arms, a Louisiana State Police run-in, truck cameras that judge your elbow, Rich's porch screening and a 70-and-a-half-inch measuring screwup, a Suzuki Samurai with an engine bigger than the car, a surprise CDL school payout for Ron, Bryan's AI influencer rabbit hole, tornado stories, France's school riots, Mississippi's reading scores, and the college bubble. The best part: Rich walks into a ham radio club meeting on Thursday night and walks out a member, with new friends, club shirts, and a calendar full of POTA and contest events. It closes with Route 66 on the Air and QSL cards, Bella's cheese tax, Tulsa King on Rich's couch, a steroid pack that took the edge off Rich's pain, liver and thiamine talk, and WorldCam.io as the Site of the Week.Links MentionedWorldCam.io – Site of the Week, live webcams and traffic cams from all over the worldRockAuto – cheap parts for the 3.6 Jeep: thermostat housings, control arms, coolantElk City Hamfest – the Elk City amateur radio club's hamfest pageARRL – where to look up ham radio clubs by countyPodcastApps.com – directory of modern podcast apps that support live tags, funding tags, and chaptersFountain – a modern podcast app that can pick up the live showPodcast Guru – a modern podcast app that can pick up the live showTwoGrumpyVets.com – the show's website, with the Value for Value tabPayPal – one-time or recurring support for the showMetal Cloak – the adjustable control arms and drag linkFacebook – where the car pictures, videos, and canceled-drag-race news showed upTikTok – where the AI influencers kept popping upYouTube – the AI-generated jazz videos playing for BellaBBC – the report on the French school protestsParamount+ – home of Tulsa KingPetco – where the new harness and the Lamb Chop toy came fromWalmart – delivery for the hoagie supplies and green olivesLowe's – where the porch screen door came fromCVS – the extra-strength magnesiumCafePress – possible show merch, if the t-shirt prices ever behaveCanva – for album art (2000x2000px, please)GIMP – another option for making show artZoom – the recording platform, with its usual dramaSupport the ShowNo sponsors here — you are the sponsor.

  • Corn and Cornography, Camel Virgins, and a Space Screwdriver

    Corn and Cornography, Camel Virgins, and a Space Screwdriver
    5 Oct 2026
    Recorded the Monday before Cruisin' the Coast, and it wanders everywhere. Bryan and Rich compare notes on the junk landing in their inboxes, starting with a Coffee and Classics book club pitch that has nothing to do with this show, while Bryan walks through a Podmatch webinar invite and a "come on our podcast" offer that turned into a $5,000 sales pitch. Ron, on the road, has a camera going into the Jeep and finds out the long-lost GoPro has been sitting in a bag on a dining room chair this whole time. Rich builds a free 20-meter delta loop that came out looking like an isosceles triangle, and somewhere in there the three of them take on Pacific hurricanes, a 2029 comet scare, and whether the news just wants everybody scared.From there it's gas prices and who really profits from the pump, with Bryan, Rich, and Ron all taking a swing at the refinery argument, plus Ron's closed Pizza Hut and a grocery bill that needs a sit-down. Rich puts a $55 fill-up on the table and hosts a pair of Jehovah's Witnesses with Bella watching from the window. Bryan's daughter gets a $1,000 wheel bearing in Amarillo, and Ron swears by RockAuto and $27 Moog control arms. Then it gets deep: Bryan on the Seventh Day Adventist girl from a Dallas summer and the church hypocrites, a long run on grace, judgment, and whether God forgets (four verses worth), Ron on forgiving his dad and doing the retirement math, Rich on learning how to stop working and fill the hours, and Bryan's Guadalupe River tubing days. It wraps with Bryan's website of the week, OSIRIS AI, and Ron's tip of the day for anyone who spots a red Jeep with shark teeth on I-10.Links MentionedWebsite of the Week — planes, satellites, space debris, and live traffic cams on one map: osirisai.livePodmatch (Bryan's webinar invite): podmatch.comRockAuto (Ron's control arm order): rockauto.comAutoZone and O'Reilly (the parts-price comparison): autozone.com and oreillyauto.comMeineke (the Amarillo repair shop): meineke.comMoonraker (Rich's European mast shopping): moonrakeronline.comPizza Hut (closed on Mondays): pizzahut.comMurphy USA (gas price comparisons): murphyusa.comElevenLabs and Rocket Mortgage (inbox spam): elevenlabs.io and rocketmortgage.comPatreon (the Grandpa Gamer plan): patreon.comFacebook and TikTok (feed rabbit holes): facebook.com and tiktok.comFind a podcasting 2.0 app: podcastapps.comSupport the ShowIf we made you laugh, cry, think, or groan, that's us creating value in your life — and this show runs on value for value, not sponsors.
