Don't Let Your Dingle Dangle in the Dirt
Bryan and Rich open by arguing over who got on the call first, then Rich rolls into a busy ham radio week: new 2m and handheld gear, a porch contact that led him to the Wednesday Whataburger meetup with the Jackson County club, and the night he put his laptop back on Windows just to send an email over the radio and watch it land on his own phone. That kicks off an argument over how many hops an email really makes, a turtle farm in Korea, and how much fiber is buried under the country. Bryan is about to welcome a new baby boy into the family, tells the story of tying western Nebraska grain co-ops together over rail-line fiber, and brings a locate story about a fiber hit where the marks were right and the proof was in hand. From there it's a full Monday of rabbit holes: colonoscopy stories where the patient wakes up mid-procedure, Rich's ham, rice, and cheese experiment and the electric smoker display he needs to replace, Ron's runza memories and a kolache argument, Bryan's boudin history, and an Am I the Asshole segment from Bryan about a kid, a suit, and a wedding. The guys get into people who think they're worth $100,000 out of high school, raising kids to be comfortable being uncomfortable, and whether anybody actually asked to be here. Ron brings the work stories: hauling 12,000 pounds overweight and proving it at the scale, a mechanic candidate who wanted $38 an hour and couldn't name a tire tread depth, the Social Security age 62 versus 67 math, and a CDL school reimbursement paper he found after eight years. Bryan's mystery pain beside his shoulder blade and a knee that quits mid-show round out the aches and pains, and Bryan gets his Wendy's order wrong on the drive. The guys argue over diesel prices, Bryan's Website of the Week is a virtual cat that blocks your screen when you scroll too long, and the tip of the day is a basic training cadence.

Bryan Beats Rich, Roach Goo, and a Brain-Dead ELD
Bryan actually beats Rich to the call for the first time in show history — and Rich never lives it down. From there it's a full three hours: Rich jacks up a sagging furnace with a pair of house jacks and declares war on an ant invasion, Bryan's ELD takes a total brain fart and knocks him back to paper logs, and the guys work through diesel and grocery prices, government holidays, and a hard debate over a child murder case in the news. On the ham radio side, Rich walks through his new 2m/70cm dipole, a solo 65" TV mount and shack sound upgrade, and the choice between a Moxon and a hex beam for the upcoming contest season. There's RTTY, Morse code, and a tribute to the last of the Navajo code talkers. Bryan lays out his trip to Amarillo to go be a granddad, and the back half covers Rich's comms trailer dreams, a round of AI robocalls, and Bryan's find for Website of the Week.

Convivial, Attenuative, and Every Bit of Chinese Cellular
This week, we kicked things off with one of those small-world moments that somehow turns into a full conversation, then rolled straight into a lively discussion about changing place names, history, public memory, and how politics, media, and marketing all shape the way people think. As always, we didn't all agree, but that's part of what makes these conversations matter: three friends working through big ideas in real time, with plenty of humor, frustration, and honesty along the way. We also talked about how everyday annoyances — like stores rearranging aisles and rising prices on basic goods — tap into bigger questions about trust, economics, and whether regular people are getting squeezed from every direction.From there, Rich took us deep into ham radio world with a full breakdown of the antennas he's building, why different designs matter, how signal gain works, and what he's planning for future contest season. We got into radio gear, coax, soldering, certifications, and the never-ending urge to build just one more setup. Along the way, we swapped stories about old electronics stores, credit scores, grocery costs, dogs getting into trouble, childhood games, and the strange combinations of food that somehow make perfect sense to the person eating them. In the end, it was one of those classic episodes: part serious debate, part technical rabbit trail, and part old friends just enjoying the conversation.Links MentionedLet's Enhance — Rich's Website of the Week pick.

Oh No Not an Apostrophe
Rich, Bryan, and Ron settle in for another round of weather complaints, heat index bragging rights, and home-repair swapping — Ron's up early for a run to Abilene, Rich shares how sealing his AC ducts dropped his electric bill about $2 a day, and Bryan's still fighting a 130-degree attic and an old house that used to run a $500-a-month natural gas bill before the wood stove took over. From there it wanders everywhere it usually does: Rich's dilemma over joining a ham radio club (and the Thursday-night scheduling conflict that finally pushed the show to Mondays), hitting 10,000 downloads and sorting real listeners from bot traffic, a Hennessy Velociraptor sighting, celebrity deaths and the Dolly Parton/Freebird duet nobody knew existed, a long detour into AI, data centers, and the power grid, and the usual politics-and-government venting. Rich lays out his plan to shoot video for Cruising the Coast with his new phone and gimbal — which is also where the episode gets its name. Bryan talks about his wife wanting to see her uncle while she still can, growing older, and the Ocean Pacific corduroy shorts he's bringing back. Route 66 trivia and a website of the week round it out, and Ron closes with a trucking safety tip everyone needs to hear.

Flock Cameras, Third Eye Stickers, and Grandma's Ass-Whooping
This week we kick off griping about the brutal summer heat before Ron takes us deep into trucking life — special permit testing on hazmat cylinders, DOT stops over faded UV labels, and a surprise job site move from McAlester to Ada. From there we go all over the map: celebrity deaths and the state of the news, flock cameras and surveillance, liberty vs. safety, generational apathy, and why we'd rather argue like friends than agree like strangers.Bryan gives us an update on the podcast player he's building and tells the story of a 99-year-old grandma who reportedly beat up a home intruder. We get into driver-facing AI cameras, backward-facing cameras coming to new vehicles, the national debt and gas prices, and a detour into ham radio contests, HAARP, and shortwave radio. We close it out with the website of the week, a couple of car trouble stories, and our usual value-for-value pitch.Links MentionedStartMyCar.com — https://www.startmycar.comDeFlock (flock camera tracking map) — https://deflock.meSayre2Weatherford.com (Bryan's podcast player build) — https://www.sayre2weatherford.comPodcastingApps.com — https://podcastingapps.comSupport the ShowThis show runs on value for value.

Don't Drink the Battery Acid
This week Rich, Bryan, and the Duuude catch up after a scorching week — Zoom hiccups, a dead grape myrtle bush, and heat indexes pushing triple digits. Ron doesn't hold back on a gas plant nightmare that nearly cost him his PTO in throat chops, while Bryan gets his hyperlocal news site off the ground and Rich rolls out season three of his other podcast. From there the guys wander through vacation planning, Ron's untouched model kit collection from his grandpa's estate, the last Blockbuster on Earth, dying malls, Rich's GrapheneOS privacy plans, telescope shopping for a nebula shot, and Bryan's oilfield frac work — plus the usual detours into politics, TV, and everything in between.

Slap Your Mama, Tabasco Pepperoni, and Fat Boy's MREs
This week Rich gets ambitious — rescuing a curbside table, building a rolling generator stand with a Harbor Freight deer pulley, and reviving a generator that had sat dead for years. That kicks off a debate over Slap Your Mama versus Tabasco (and whether Tabasco belongs in pepperoni), followed by Mopar's notoriously bad paint jobs and a six-hour fight with a backwards-mounted Jeep alternator. Bryan lays out his plans for a hyperlocal Sayre-to-Weatherford news podcast, complete with sponsor pricing and Perplexity AI research on Western Oklahoma listener numbers. Rich and Ron trade Korea deployment stories — Camp Casey, Camp Stanley, live-fire ranges, and the eternal debate over sea bags versus duffel bags — before the guys cover Ford's oddly named Ranger "Rapture," car telematics selling your driving data to insurance companies, the upcoming Toyota Stout, GrapheneOS and duress-password phone privacy, and close it out with the site of the week: CamelCamelCamel.com.Links Mentioned: Harbor Freight AutoZone RockAuto KCLI Newstalk Perplexity AI CamelCamelCamel.com GrapheneOS Discover Capital One PayPal Podcast AppsSupport the Show: There are three ways to pay back any value you got from this episode — Time, Talent, and Treasure.

Bald Head Bacon and a 59-Cent Pup Cup
This week Rich walks through his brutal Jeep shock replacement — a five-minute job that turned into an eight-and-a-half hour fight with stripped lug nuts, a honeycombed shock mount, and a jack that sat on his porch because his pain level had hit a 10. Ron has his own expensive lesson after stacking his Jeep backwards at the monthly car meet, blowing out his power steering booster and stripping studs on his spacers. Bryan shares an update on Jana's hospitalization and the relief that she's finally getting the care she needs. From there the guys cover MTV turning 45, Bryan's tribute to No Agenda's John C. Dvorak, Rich's take on Al Jazeera's surprisingly even-handed reporting, Rich's story on a border-crossing phone search that ended in a GrapheneOS duress wipe, the FCC's Roomba ban, AI hype and Sam Altman wanting your money, Chinese knockoffs versus "Made in America," a school shooting sentencing, home defense philosophy, women in combat roles and the Space Force, and close it out arguing over McDonald's ice cream machines, Biscoff blizzards, and Lorna Doones.Links Mentioned: Amazon Harbor Freight O'Reilly Auto Parts RockAuto Al Jazeera No Agenda Show McBroken.com PayPal Podcast AppsNote: a scam site, campsales[.]com, was also named on air — not linked here on purpose.Support the Show: There are three ways to pay back any value you got from this episode — Time, Talent, and Treasure.
