Speaker 0:06

Oh, wow. Okay. Yes, sir. How are you doing? Uh I'm doing all right. Good. Yeah, I'm not gonna go worth I'm not gonna go excellent, but yeah, not bad. Chicken shit. Yeah. Uh this I'm just gonna make a little announcement at the top. This podcast is pretty much doomed from the start. Um Oakley, Finlay, and Flash are in here in the studio with us. Uh those of you who have been with us since almost the beginning may remember what happened last time Flash was in here.

Speaker 1 0:41

Oh yeah, I still remember that too, and I forget a lot of crap.

Speaker 0:45

Oh no. And like literally, we just we just had a false start. Like right before we right before this this audio started. Ten seconds before I'm like, here we go. And I hit the record button and hear Oakley and Flash are getting into it. Like, okay, we'll stop that. Try again. Yeah, do a podcast from uh dog rescue. It's a great idea. Wonderful idea. Let's let's do it more often. Yeah. Let's do it more often. And with more animals.

Speaker 1 1:17

Yeah. Uh uh, what? Not that I'm I'm posting a picture to Facebook. You're such a you're such a hand bone.

Speaker 1:27

Oh my god.

Speaker 1 1:28

You can't hey, I finally figured out how to do it. You finally helped me uh well no, you've you've always helped me, believe me, but uh showed me what I needed to push on my phone to make it work. Uh-huh.

Speaker 1:40

Yeah. Um, yeah, I I understand. Uh but I'm saying you couldn't, I was gonna I was gonna actually talk about that right out the gate and give you some props. Like, you know, Mark finally posted a picture to Facebook, but he just couldn't wait.

unknown 1:53

Yeah.

Speaker 1:53

Like, oh, what are you doing? Oh, I just have oh, I'm over here doing uh uh you know posting on Facebook. So whatever. You don't get props anymore for me.

Speaker 1 2:01

That's okay. I don't want props. I want I want jet engines.

Speaker 2:04

Yeah, okay. Uh I was looking for my A10, that's gone. Um, yeah, it's a rotating wallpaper, so it's did it did it go overseas? Okay. Oh god. Um, yeah, so uh just for the record, this this doesn't count as props, but I will say um you've been doing a very good job with the socials. Thank you. I appreciate that. Well almost threw up. Yeah. Um no, but uh yeah, if you do follow our socials, um it's looking like it's gonna be a lot more active. So uh so rock and roll. Yes, I definitely have a feeling based on what I've seen so far that it's gonna get to the point where I am actually going to mute the set centered socials, uh, which I think you know is a compliment coming from me. Yes, yeah. Yeah, RJ don't he don't do the social medias that much. Most of it is annoying. But uh anyhoot, yeah. So good job on that. Um I this isn't a social thing, but I was I was because we were also um we started we were looking at some of the analytics and stuff too last night. We're gonna get more into that, but anyway.

Spotify Recommendations Get Weird

Speaker 3:27

Uh I can't I was looking at something on Spotify just on the analytics side. I can't I you know the little came across something that'd be I I think was uh a fun thing to share. You know, the like if you're listening to excuse me, like if you're subscribed to a podcast or whatever, and it's like uh more like this, or if you like this, you should also check these out, right? Right. Let me I'm not even gonna hit gonna hit the show more button. Let me just tell you what are the top six suggested podcasts for listeners of Set and Saturday. Oh shit. All right, yeah, let's go. Handbag design excuse me, handbag designer 101. What the fuck? I don't know. It does it get better. I I'm kind of along we're doing this together. I haven't looked ahead that much. Oh, okay. All right, the next one, Bob's Blues and the News. I can kind of see that maybe. Yeah. Um, oh shit. Oh. Next one is the Four Walls podcast. No idea what that could be. This this next one. I don't know if maybe this is Spotify like talking to us, maybe is uh cry for help. But the the next suggestion is calm your daily stress.

Speaker 1 4:45

They've been to the ranch.

Speaker 4:48

Yes. Uh the next one, they call her mother. Okay. Oh wow. Some of these titles are cut off. Oh, there's the rest of it. They call her mother. Oh, damn it, get back here. They call her mother. Um, podcast. Faith, family, and legacy. That's what it's called. That that sounds wholesome.

Speaker 1 5:05

Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 5:07

Yeah. Uh, and then the last one at least that's showing up here is Tenacity with Sonia C. And I don't know who that is, but the way that title is structured makes me think that they think I know who that is, or I should. Yeah. Sonia C, do you know how that is? No, uh-uh. Yeah, so it's probably nobody because you pretty much know all the famous people. Uh yeah, I know every famous dog on the ranch. Um all of them are famous. That's what I mean. I know all them.

unknown 5:35

Yep.

Speaker 5:36

No, like celebrities and stuff, you always know them. I don't. Yeah.

Speaker 1 5:39

Well, I I'm learning I don't know much about the new ones.

Speaker 5:43

Well, you know more than I do, honestly. Yeah. Uh yeah, so if you're if you're a dedicated listener, set and centered, you may want to check out Calm Your Daily Stress. Yeah. Maybe I don't know what they're trying to tell me here with that, but I'm gonna take it as a compliment. I'm not sure. But yeah, I thought that was funny. This doesn't uh this uh of course doesn't apply to you because you don't listen to podcasts. This is true. Yeah, so anyhoot, uh what is that

Cats Are Scarier Unseen

Speaker 6:22

what else is going on? Was there something else? Uh what is going on over there? Uh-huh.

Speaker 1 6:26

Finley's trying to get comfortable.

Speaker 6:27

Uh God, that's a never-ending yeah, he's gonna get comfortable on the floor. Okay, well, all right. So now we've got Oakley on the floor, Finley on the floor, okay, Finley. Flash somewhere.

Speaker 1 6:38

Yeah, I have not had you know, I don't know. I don't know. I got I got both the dogs over here. You must have the cat.

Speaker 6:46

I not that I'm aware of. Oh shit. The thing with cats, uh well, in that show The Last Shit. Oh damn, I I didn't even do that on purpose. The last ship. Last shit that you called it. Um, there's a scene where they're like, uh they're kinda there's a sub that's been after them and stuff, so they're trying to like find the sub, engage the sub. And there's a scene where they're just like kind of waiting and listening, and the captain's like, There's only one thing I hate more than seeing a sub on sonar. And the other guy's like, what's that? He goes, not seeing one. Oh yeah. And that's how I feel about cats. Only thing that scares me more than seeing them do something is not seeing them because God knows what he's up to.

Speaker 1 7:30

Yeah, that is for sure. And it's not like you have five of them running around inside the house. I know. You like the old cat lady.

Speaker 7:38

Uh, thank you.

Speaker 1 7:39

You're welcome. Oh shit. What was that? Oh, I might have moved my hand and hit the cord that holds the microphone. And is this your first time here, bud? Feels like it. Must be sober. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 7:59

You don't drink though, so this is true.

Speaker 1 8:01

I don't drink very often. There's reasons for I know.

Speaker 8:05

I know. Uh well, probably probably fair the best. Yep, that is for sure. Yeah. Uh, and if you do drink too much, just uh check out Callum Your Daily Stress. And uh or maybe they call our mother. I don't know. Yeah. Or handbag designer one on watch. Yeah. Why the hell not? Yep. Yep. Um shit. Oh, oh, never mind. You brought the Bronco. Sorry, I was looking at the Oh, you thought there was somebody here? Well, yeah. Yeah. There's a TV in the studio that has the ranch cameras on it. And I looked over, I'm like, ah. Smart's truck is white, and there's this like, well, it looks like on the camera now because it's nighttime, a black truck. Like, ah, there's a black truck in the driveway. Oh, it's Bronco. Okay. It's Bronco. Jesus Christ. Yeah. We are fucking real professionals, aren't we?

Speaker 1 8:58

That's why we're doing this. Oh, geez.

Speaker 9:03

Yep. So I guess we definitely uh you know, we're not one of the we're not one of those podcasts where it's like, uh, you know, subscribe. Like where people would pay us to listen to this crap.

Speaker 1 9:15

Yeah. Like, comment, and subscribe. That guy drives me nuts, but I've said that before. Isn't that all the guys? All the guys do it. Oh, just one of them I watch. I'd yeah, but a lot of them are like, don't forget to hit the bell button and oh the bell button. Well, yeah, so that you get notifications when whenever they post a new video. Where's my phone? I don't know. Did you lose it?

unknown 9:36

Well, I okay.

Speaker 1 9:37

I don't know. Whatever. Uh Flash is probably looking on it.

Speaker 9:41

He's probably hacking the Pentagon on or something. That's a lot of teams breaking any minute. Cats can't be trusted. Yeah.

Why Creators Beg For Likes

Speaker 9:51

Um, you know, speaking of the that, the like thing, um uh James May, you know James James May is. Yes. Yes. Do you do you ever watch his YouTube channel? I don't watch his YouTube channel now. No, for a second I thought you were gonna say you don't watch YouTube and the video's gonna explode. Yeah, um yeah, anyway, so but you what you've seen Top Gear and all, so you kinda know his sh well, I wouldn't even call it a shtick, I think it's just who he is. But he has a YouTube channel because he has this gin that you know, this gin company, and he has YouTube channel that's like it promotes the gin, but it's most of the videos are not about the gin. That's just like he does his producer makes him do stupid things like trying American sodas and he has comments and stuff. Whatever. Um what the reason I thought of that is uh at the end of every episode, she's like, uh call calls to action, which that's what they call the thing where you say like, comment, subscribe, right? Okay. Or like when you they say, Hey, uh, hey, if you think having a cat in the studio is weird when you're doing a podcast, hit us and give us an up thumb, or you know. Yeah, when they uh when they ask for engagement, it's called a call to action. And so like at the end of the video, the producer uh she's off camera usually and she's like uh calls to action? He he's like, No, I'm not doing it. I'm not doing the bloody lock subsquad thing, you know. I'm just like uh I like it. If they want to listen to me, they're gonna listen to me. Yeah, exactly. Um, would you well that's not a good question? I guess I have to like figure out how to phrase stuff with me. Well, I have to we have to step into an alternate world. Imagine a world where you listen to podcasts. Okay. Would you listen to this one?

Speaker 1 11:39

I listen to it all the time.

Speaker 11:41

You said you would? Yeah. Yeah, I would. I probably would too. Although I would be so judgy. Yeah. Like these fucking guys. These two assholes sitting in here. Yeah. Oh uh, I I I would probably hate listening to it. It's like, why do you listen to that show? You bitch about the show all the time. Why do you listen to it every time? Like, well, gotta see what stupid thing we're gonna do next. Yeah.

Hate Watching Rachel Ray

Speaker 12:10

I had this friend, um, her her uh her dad, you know, probably about my parents' age, whatever, and um he hated Rachel Ray. And the way that I know that is like they can't her and her parents came and stayed at the ranch for like a week, a couple years back, and every morning Rachel Ray would be on. He'd be like, Oh my god, look at what she's wearing today. Can you even believe that? And he'd be like, uh, you know, oh, she's you see, this you could get a load of this recipe she's what she's making. Nobody's gonna like that. Uh like, oh, did you forget your blow dryer this morning? Look at that hair. I'm just like and yeah, every morning when I came on, he just happened to make sure he was right there in the living room to catch it. Oh, jeez.

Speaker 1 12:59

Yeah, yeah, just just so he could complain about what she's wearing. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 13:04

It's one of those uh, you know, obviously like loves Rachel Ray, but like, you know, too grumpy to admit it or whatever. But I would just laugh my ass out because I I never had a problem with Rachel Ray. She's fine, whatever. Her show came on, it was fine, whatever. It was on before the price is right, and that's why you that's why I would catch it. Um But he just like, oh my god, can you believe they let her wear that sweater on TV? And I'm like, I didn't even notice her sweater until you said something, and really it's not that bad.

Speaker 1 13:36

That was just his excuse to watch her, huh?

Speaker 13:38

I think so. Yeah. Yeah, I kind of missed that show. Um Although, you know, it really for me was just a lead into the prices, right? So it's all it was always, yeah, you had to watch something before the price is right. Well, I didn't no, I didn't have to. It's not like but I always had to I I didn't ever want to miss the prices right. So I just, you know, I had to make sure that the TV was on the right channel, yeah, and everything, which it always is because there's only one. Um, and so I'd always catch the tail end of whatever. Yeah.

Speaker 1 14:08

Yeah.

Sick Day TV Nostalgia

Speaker 1 14:09

When we were sick as kids, it would be the price is right. Then you'd flip it over to Bonanza, uh, and then Perry Mason. So Perry Mason. Yep.

Speaker 14:19

Yeah, I've uh heard of those things. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 14:22

Every every day, uh, every weekday at noon they'd play Perry Mason. Oh, okay.

Speaker 14:27

Oh, did Prices Right come on at 10 then? Uh yeah, I believe it was 10. Yeah, same time, same time here. Yep. Yeah. Um I wonder if it's like yeah, I don't know. I think I think we're being too exciting and engaging in the topics and we're talking about and stuff. People are like, whoa.

Speaker 1 14:47

Whoa, step back. I'm gonna have to take a break here. Yeah, puff, puff, pass.

Speaker 14:55

Uh, why do I have uh I just went I grabbed my pad here because I was like, it's looking maybe I have something written down we could actually talk about more interesting than whatever.

Shania Twain Writes Back

Speaker 15:06

How come the only thing written on this piece of paper mark is Shania Twain? Oh that that's mine.

Speaker 1 15:10

No. Can you hand it over, please? Yeah.

Speaker 15:14

The the 90s version of Shania, please. Oh, yeah. Well, I get I get exactly what you're saying. Yeah. Holy crap. What she did to herself. Oof. But uh no, but no, like, did that come up at some point? Yeah, we talked about Shania one time. Oh, we did? Is that why I wrote it down?

Speaker 1 15:32

Yeah. It's when uh we were on the ship, uh, the aircraft carrier, and we wrote to her. No, we didn't talk about this on the pod.

Speaker 15:38

Okay, never mind. That's why oh my gosh, this is like ESPN we just had. ESPN, yeah. Because you told me that whole story. Yeah. Off air a long time back. And yes, last time we were recording, something that you were talking about last time made me think of that, and I was like, that was that's a fun story. He should tell it sometime. Yeah. Instead of making a note like he should tell the story about the I just wrote Shania Twain. Tell the story. See if you needed you needed to keep going, tell the story. Yeah, it was actually related to your photography stuff because you were talking about that last time, and you were but you were like kind of half asleep on the last podcast. Yes, I was. Yeah, it was fun for me, but um you know, you talked about doing up in Washington and hiking to the falls or something. Yeah, but there was another part about on the on the ship you bought all the camera and what but you know, I'm talking about all the disposable cameras. Am I talking thinking of something else? You're thinking of something else, yeah. Whoa, whoa. Interesting. All right, um you never did okay. No, wow, where did all this come from? I'm gonna I'm just gonna write a note herself up on it later. Cameras question mark. Okay. Okay. So tell tell the Shania Twain story. It's fun.

Speaker 1 16:54

Okay, so excuse me, when I was on my uh 90 94, 95 long cruise to the med on uh Theodore Roosevelt, uh Shania Twain was just coming out, her and Toby Keith. And so on the ship, on the the TV, they'd always played uh Shania Twain's Any Man of Mine. So one of our one of us got the hairbranded hair-brained idea we needed to write her and you know, send her a letter. So we sent her a letter.

Speaker 17:23

Who wrote who wrote it?

Speaker 1 17:24

Uh God. My buddy uh Mike Newell. Okay.

Speaker 17:28

It was like a group thing, like your own.

Speaker 1 17:30

Yeah, it was it was night, night check, or that was the six at night to six in the morning shift. Okay. And so he wrote her a letter, sent it out, and then I was leaving uh to fly back home, and the day that I was getting on the COD to take a cash shot off the what? COD, it's it's uh the Hawkeye, the E2.

unknown 17:52

COD.

Speaker 1 17:53

We called it a COD. It was it was the like Pony Express that would be bring people on the ship and off the ship. Yeah.

Speaker 17:59

Uh I understand what ponies are. I understand what E2 is. What is COD? Is it an acronym?

Speaker 1 18:04

Uh it probably is. We just called it the COD. So it probably stands for something yes, but it wasn't an F-18, so I didn't care. Okay. Because that's what I worked on. So anyway, the day that I was getting ready to take the cat shot with COD, we got mail back, and I seen it was from Shania Twain, and it was handwritten with her address, you know, it said Shania Twain on it, and uh my buddy Mike Newell and and company or whatever the hell it was. And yeah, she told us, you know, hey, appreciate you guys writing to me, all this stuff. Glad you're out there protecting and stuff like that, and sent some the pictures of her and stuff. And that was in autograph pictures.

Speaker 18:43

Yeah, autograph pictures. And didn't she send like like basically you had told her how many folks or her guys were in the thing in the crew, and she sent like enough one for each of you? Yeah, there's one for each of us. That's so cool.

Speaker 1 18:54

Yep, and then I went up uh up on the flight deck, got in the cod, and took a cat shot off an aircraft carrier.

Speaker 19:02

So that I you never I never thought about the fact that that's what she would that's how you get off of it. Yeah. Was that creative was that cool?

Speaker 1 19:10

Oh my god. That's another story, so we'll go ahead and tell it.

Speaker 19:13

So I was sitting on a little uh uh I did some uh research over here. Yeah. So the COD is um the nickname comes from the acronym Carrier onboard delivery.

Speaker 1 19:27

Oh, okay. Makes sense. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 19:30

So yeah, we went up. Just in case you needed if you were uh had any questions for me about the navy, uh that's one. I got a lot of questions about the navy.

Speaker 1 19:42

I don't I don't remember much of it. Yeah, so uh got up on the cod, and on those you face backwards when you're sitting in the seat. And so we got they got us all loaded, all of our bags loaded, and they said, Okay, we're gonna the air crew says, Okay, we're gonna, you know, once they you feel the the nose of the bird go down, or the cod, they said, we're gonna wave our hands and stuff because we're gonna get ready to launch. It's like okay. So it did that, they're back there screaming and yelling, waving their hands and everything. So, you know, you're supposed to cross your tighten your seatbelt or your belts as tight as you can, cross your arms and lean over as far as you can. I'm like, okay, I'm good, I'm good. Never done this before. And then all of a sudden, the cod, you feel the nose go back up, they let off the tension off the catapult. And I looked around, there's a guy from CNN back in the day that because we were bombing Bosnia, and he's over there turning blue. He has got it so cranked down and holding on, so I'm like, fuck, I'm missing something here. So did it again. The nose of the cod went down, they started screaming out. I'm holding on, turning blue, and then all of a sudden you go from zero to like 175 miles an hour, just like that. And the cod being a turboprop after you after you launch, it kind of loses momentum. So all of a sudden you're going from 100 foot off the water down to oh shit, all I see is water. Yeah, so that was that was a cool thing to say I did that.

Speaker 21:12

Yeah, did you just do it once?

Speaker 1 21:14

Yeah, just did it the once I was getting out of the navy after that.

Speaker 21:16

Was it I mean it was a super cool thing to say you did. Was it cool while you did it or absolutely terrifying? No, it was cool. I was I was excited for it, yeah. Yeah, it's like uh I know there's a few planes that do it, but that was one of them. Where like if if if you're look not looking because I wasn't there, but like point of view from the carrier deck, and it goes, you know, the the thing launches it and then just drops below the edge of the deck like that. Yeah, well, that's really cool. Yeah, thank you. It was it was fun. Are you gonna show me your Shania Twain autograph photo sometime?

Speaker 1 21:50

I don't have that anymore. That that was many, many years ago. Man, yeah, that seems like something you'd hold on to. I probably did, but I probably lost it in divorce or something.

Speaker 22:07

I could just I could just see a line item somewhere in some divorce document filed away in some county clerk's office. Like the autographed uh photograph eight by ten of Shania Twenty will go to. Yeah.

Speaker 1 22:20

Well, it was like fifteen years later uh that I'd been divorced from the kids' mom and my son after he started driving to go see his mom, he'd bring shit back to me 15 years later.

Speaker 22:32

And he couldn't get that picture?

Speaker 1 22:33

No, he didn't get that.

unknown 22:34

Dang it.

Speaker 22:35

Yeah. I mean, that's it's kind of sad that you lost that. Yeah. Um, especially because you look at it, you could look at it now and remember what she used to look like. Yeah. Danger unrecognizable anymore. Yeah, that is for sure. Um

Cher Video Delays A Return

Speaker 22:50

you know what all this reminds me of is Cher. Oh yeah, she just turned 80. Oh, really?

Speaker 1 22:58

Yeah. How'd she look? Uh like a Barbie doll, all plastic and shit.

Speaker 23:03

Okay. Um, that's great. You know what why it reminded me of Cher? Why? The music video.

Speaker 1 23:10

Oh, on the battleship. Yep. That was awesome. Oh, not for the guys that were out to see that were coming home. Uh really?

Speaker 23:18

Yeah. Oh, wait, hold on, back up. It was on USS Missouri, I think. Yeah.

Speaker 1 23:23

Yeah. Yeah. So a buddy of mine was on a uh before he got to the one squadron I was in at the time. They were held out two extra days so that they could do that, from what I understand. Uh they were held out for two extra days getting back home after a six-month deployment because Cher was shooting that video.

Speaker 23:42

Uh so like they they basically rolled up and like tied onto the thing, and they're like, Okay, great, now that you're here.

Speaker 1 23:50

Um No, they wouldn't even let him into the port. What do you mean? They they held him out to sea because they were shooting the video.

Speaker 23:56

Oh, you mean a different boat was oh, I get you.

Speaker 1 24:00

Yeah, they were coming off long cruise and they held them out for like two days. It's what my buddy told me, it may not be a true story, but boy, it's sounding good.

Speaker 24:07

I I you know, it's one of those stories that I would have no trouble believing, so it probably is true. Yeah. Um, and yeah, I was confused because I'm like, um, like I get it, you know, uh mate two extra days, but also you're in early 20s, very horny male, and but no, you were like on the boat that wasn't there because that was happening.

Speaker 1 24:28

That was like because they were filming a share video.

Speaker 24:31

Yeah, I'll bet if you talk to the folks who were on the boat when they were filming, they're like, that was pretty good. I bet they were. That was not so bad. I I was watching the video. Yeah, it's it was yeah. Uh gosh, I wonder what it 1989 it came out, looks like. Yeah, it's pretty risque for back then. Yeah. I mean, apart from the sexuality and the skimpiness, it was that was a very that was a cool video, good video. Yeah, well done. Yes, it was. I'll I'll agree to that one. Yeah, unlike Joyce.

Speaker 1 24:58

There was actually a ship on that video. Oh, there was a ship? Wait, what there were sailors?

Speaker 25:03

Oh I see was sure. Yeah. That's how I feel about the uh those you know, those uh those dance videos I was telling about, like the open competitions. Oh yeah, your Japan one or China one or whatever. Yeah, it was in Singapore. Um but I was telling somebody about it, and um I I said, well, you you had said, Oh, yeah, there's a guy and a girl, and I correct I didn't correct you, I was saying, well, in this one, there's a it's a leader and follower. And I wasn't saying because most of them are guys and girls, I'm just saying like that's how the terminology they use. So anyway, I was telling somebody else, one of my friends, I'm like, Yeah, so they have a leader and a follower. And the guy the question was something like, Well, is it I mean, leader, follow-like, is it a guy and a girl usually? And I'm like, uh I don't know if there was anybody else dancing with them. No, they feel like there was no, I'm just joking because there was obviously. Yeah, but to your point about the battleship, I didn't notice a woman that was also there dancing.

Speaker 1 26:01

I noticed the guy his dump truck. Yeah, but donk a donk, yes, get it right, Trace Atkins. Yeah, I know that reference.

Speaker 26:14

Um yeah, uh God dang. Yep. Uh what else you got? Uh that was fun. Um there was something about something else and then a thing, and then nope, I lost it. You lost it? Have you seen my phone by the way?

Speaker 1 26:32

No, uh-uh. I told you you said that Flash was getting hold of the Jesus

Buckley Stops Following Dad

Speaker 1 26:38

Christ. Well, let's let's talk about Mr. Buckley and how much he's grown up the last couple months. Oh my gosh. Uh yeah. He is uh he's growing quick.

Speaker 26:48

Yeah. And uh that's your story.

Speaker 1 26:51

No, uh-uh. I was noticed because it's like every morning uh get up over uh on the property, and you got Buckley and Kennai over there, and then for shit, like a week we didn't have Buckley. It's like anything wrong with Buckley? Is anything wrong? And then so I come over to see you one night.

Speaker 27:08

Do you want to uh you wanna like give a little background on Buckley and Kanai and why it's unusual to see them?

Speaker 1 27:15

Yeah, I guess that'd be great. So Buckley has taken Kennai as dad. So Buckley follows Kanai everywhere, yeah. And he it reminds me of that one. Hold on, I've got little legs from full house. And so now Kennai runs off or goes and does his thing, and Buckley stays here, is what you were saying. He stays here and does his thing and hangs out with the other dogs too. Yep, yeah.

Speaker 27:42

Yep, he plays with uh he spends a lot of time playing with Hartley. Oh god, the Hartley, yeah. Yeah, Hartley. The uh so yeah, that's well, that's what you were saying. Is like he's he's got he's kind of a little big boy now. He doesn't have to follow daddy around all the time. No, he's cute because he'll uh and he does a lot of time, but uh he likes to hang back here and play with Hartley or even oh my god, what the hell is that? That was just a cord. Um uh like even like the other night he was out. Uh well kind of they were all out, and then he came back at some point, and he's all like, you know, it's all dirty and muddy, and he's panting, like, oh god, I have had so much fun. I'm like, and then uh the girls came up, so he was out with Callie and Bailey on some kind of mission. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, and then Hartley like last night um I was over at your place and Hartley was playing with Ranger the dog for I don't know, half hour, 45 minutes, and yes, finally Christina's like, oh god. He's like, Hartley, did you wear Ranger out? Because I guess Ranger's getting tired. Yeah, I'm like, this is the third dog today he's gone through. Like I don't know where he gets the energy from, man, but he will because he'll play like all day, all night. And um, it's like one of them gets tired, he's like, Okay, who's next? Who's who's next? Who's gonna come with me?

Speaker 1 29:03

Yeah, yeah, it's like today with uh because uh we came back from town and we made the corner to go down, you know, to our place, and you always got Lucky in the lead, and then Kanai, and then a little bit further back you got Buckley because his short little legs get him. Well, now Harley's staying outside full time. You said what about three weeks now he hasn't been in the house overnight? Yep, and so had all four of them, but it was Kanai in the lead. You had Buckley behind Kanai, keeping up with him. It's like holy crap! And there's actually a piss picture I posted it as uh Buckley and and some of the other dogs on it, and then can I uh Hartley and then Lucky, and Lucky was pissed that he was in the trailing position. So we're going you know towards the driveway. We got two driveways, we're going towards the upper driveway. Fricking Lucky rolls Kennai right in the middle of the road, which is a dirt road, and then they start playing in the in the road, and then Kanai went to get up, and Christine's like, is he okay? Is he okay? Because I, you know, I'd stopped. So I rolled up towards him, and Kanai gets up, looks in my window, like, what up, dude? Yeah. Yeah. But I couldn't believe little Mr. Buckley was keeping up with with uh Kanai today.

Speaker 30:21

Yeah, I know. Um, yeah, he's he's really he's really grown up. Uh I had I actually want to back up a little bit. If you don't you said you had a picture and you did something with I can't recognize you said you posted it Yeah, posted it on the book of Facebook. Social? Yeah, on social. Yeah, you saw I yeah, you know, talking about that, I actually um because you said you wish you had filmed it just the other day. I was heading over there and it was lucky he wasn't there, but I was driving over to your place and um Canai Jr. and Hartley were like running out in front of me uh along the way. And I I think he had a video of that. Um I don't know. Do you think there's some way that we can make that video be online? Yeah, if it's in the hands of the right person. Yeah, get it in the hands of the right person. Finley, you're up. Can't give it to Oakley, he's too bitchy tonight. Yeah. You know, I'll I'll say this to him. He's he's having a pretty good night considering because a lot of times when you come over um specifically to to to record, um, because there's a lot of chaos with the dogs and everything, and then Oakley gets a little what are you doing over there? Finley's telling me he wants up again. Yeah, Oakley can get a little he's got anxiety, so he gets a lamped up a lot of times. Yeah. Tonight he's it may be a little grumpy, but he's been pretty chill. Yeah, he has. Um, yeah, but the it's just so cute. It's like you just buy like um these these things, and um like I'm glad that I'm glad that we're posting on that you're posting on the social now. Yeah. Mostly because I don't so I don't have to, but also so people can see this stuff. So yeah, I'll th I'll throw uh Mark will throw this video up at some point. But um and I'll say too that uh Canai Canai is a very fast dog. Very lucky's faster. Lucky is like a fucking gazelle, yeah. Um and uh the funniest fucking thing, it still cracks me up though. Hartley is uh you know, he's he's a big boy now, he's bigger than both of them. Uh he's not very fast. Like he's never been a particularly fast runner, and it's so funny because like Lucky Canai and Hartley will let's say all go uh like a full sprint like down the hill toward the pond. Right. And Lucky and Canai will be out there, and Lucky's like or Hartley, you can tell he's running as fast as he can, but he just can't go as fast. It's interesting, but it's funny, yeah. And it is cute as shit, though, see little bucklers just like because he used to be like bouncing behind like wee dip, wee-dip, we-dip.

Speaker 1 33:08

Uh yeah. Yeah, but he's finally got to the point where he lets his uh petty man stuff. Yeah. Yeah, he's very, very sweet too. Oh, he is such a good little guy.

Speaker 33:17

And he's yeah, he's just a little he's just a little sweet pee. Like when well now that he wants uh attention to stuff, like when he first sees you, he uh he like wags his tail and he's like he kind of bops his head. He's like, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi.

Speaker 1 33:34

I I love when they come over the house and all of them are wet. Well, three of them, you got Canai, Hartley, and Buckley, they're all wet. Yeah. Yeah, from swimming in the pond like Lucy.

Planning A 24 7 Lake Camera

Speaker 1 33:45

Um, speaking of which, you're you said you're setting up a live stream here within the uh next week or so.

Speaker 33:51

Yeah, um, well, I guess I am now. Yeah. Yeah. Shit. Uh uh working on it. Um, well, I I'm I will. I'm going to. Um, and I'm not sure if it'll be next week or whatever. Pretty soon though, um, kind of working out the technical kinks and stuff. Uh one of the things we have to deal with on the range that people don't have to deal with in general, like when they're in the city, is uh distance. So like uh this this camera's gonna be like four or five hundred feet away from any power source or Wi-Fi or whatever. But what uh what I'm gonna do, I'm working on doing is uh set up a camera that overlooks Lake Lucy, and in the background behind that, uh the pasture, Patsy's pasture, and the big open sky on the tall pines, just a lovely, lovely view all the time. Um, and so what we're gonna try to do is set up a 24-7 um live stream on our YouTube channel. So anybody who would like to see what's going on on the ranch right now, anytime, go check it out. Or if you just want to put it on the background, because it's very it's a very peaceful little scene, it really is. Yeah, it is. Or if you prefer the sound of nature to fall asleep too, and at this time of year, meaning a thousand billion horny fucking frogs all night long, you can do that too.

Speaker 1 35:18

But well, and then they can also see the dogs when they go swimming.

Speaker 35:22

Yes, I know, yeah, for real. That'll be cool. Yeah, excuse me. And I don't want to get I don't want to overpromise, I don't want to get too far ahead of myself, but there is potentially some capability on the camera that will be able to set it up to where like if they do go swimming, like the camera will automatically follow it around or whatever. But even if it doesn't, you'll be able to see them swim around. Um, so when that's when that goes up, um, it'll be posted on YouTube channel. Um I'll get it on Facebook also. I was gonna say, I wonder if there's some way that family you're up again. Yeah, so we'll Mark will Mark will make a post whenever it goes up with the link and everything. But yeah, if you're subscribed on YouTube, it'll just I don't know how YouTube works, but probably just be there at the top of the page when it's live. I don't know. But yeah, that'll be cool. Um and actually something I wanted to tell you about that uh on that project. I wasn't planning on talking about that project, but since you let the cat out of the bag, dog, dog out of the whatever. Um I wanted to tell you this is funny and shit.

AI Gives Conflicting Solar Advice

Speaker 36:27

Because you know, you got all the AI stuff and whatever. And I talk about my guy. Um I I use my guy for a lot of different things, but uh I'm I'm one of those people who recognizes that AI is what it is. It is it is not uh silver bullet. Um, and I use accordingly. So I I'm uh I have to set up solar panels, you know, I gotta get power for this thing and everything down there. And I I did all the calculations and whatever and stuff and kind of had figured it out before I asked my guy about it. And this is important. Okay, because sometimes you ask a question, and I hope people realize it. Sometimes you ask a question and you're not getting an answer that's even anywhere in the ballpark of right. People need to know this. I hope they do. But like when it comes to technical, here's your public service announcement for the week. If it comes to technical stuff or things that, I don't know, might kill you, like electricity or whatever. Um, don't ask AI about it unless you already have a pretty good understanding of it. And I'm gonna here's a little little little demonstration as to why. So I have a handful of solar panels that are available to me because they've been for various other projects and they're around, they're on hand. They're different though. Um, I won't get into the differences and why unless Schmoose Poose the Poose or whatever his name is wants us to Moose Knuckle. Yeah, drone on about you know, all you got your your your open circuit voltage, and no, right.

Speaker 1 38:05

You can tell who the mechanical engineer is in this crew. Correct.

Speaker 38:09

Um and aerospace engineer. Oh, yeah. Yeah, let's not uh I forgot, I'm sorry. Or rocket scientists, if you want yeah, either way. Um anyway, basically I'm like I got three three mismatch panels, and I'm like, um I could probably put them to together in a certain way and utilize them or whatever. But so I posed the question, I was like, uh to my to the AI, and I said, I have these three panels, and like can I run them all together? Uh and ChatGPT, which is my guy, um, he gave I asked him and he gave me an answer that was so stupid that I'm like, I'm gonna ask some others. And now this is not the full answer to the full question or whatever, but I want to from three different AI thingies, I want to tell you what they said about it one specific point about them, which is how to wire it up, which would be series or parallel. So Claude says, um, you could do series, and then it goes or in parallel, but mismatch voltages will make make it a little less efficient. That's what Claude said. Okay, Grok says, recommendation connect them in parallel. All right, it's kind of different answers. Chat GPT says, do not connect them in parallel. These were the three answers I got. So oh my god. I'm just like people well, yeah that's a whole other topic. We probably won't even talk to on or talk about on this show because it's a little heavy, but there are these things are killing people, you you know, especially kids like young young teens, right? Right. They're convincing them to kill themselves. It's a whole thing that's going on, and you know, that's horrible. This is a funny example of it. And it's a situation where if it gave me the wrong info, I'm not gonna get hurt or get killed. But there's probably three different things in each of you know the the the plans that these yeahs gave me. I one of those three things could have, you know, destroyed my battery or my panel. You know, just like good lord.

Speaker 1 40:26

That'd be messed up.

Speaker 40:27

Yeah. So if you want Grop to make you an eight-second I don't know, video of a cat riding on a biplane, rock and roll, folks. Uh anything that's important, just do your own, like actually do your own research, learn things. Yeah. Um, all right, so next topic is the end of the

Studio Move And Sign Off

Speaker 40:48

show. Already? Yeah. Jesus, and for once I mean it. For once, huh?

Speaker 1 40:57

Okay, let's let's go to the next thing. Smokes, smokes and Gatorades on the deck.

Speaker 41:03

Oh, oh, you mean the next thing for us? Yeah. Yeah. Uh well, and probably a lot of problem solving. Yes.

Speaker 1 41:09

Yeah, we do figure out whether we're gonna you're gonna go series or parallel. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 41:17

We do we do spend sometimes some late nights you know solving the world's problems out there. Yeah, people don't even realize what we do for them. Uh that's I'll tell you what, they don't. You guys don't even know. Yeah. Um, and maybe next time we'll we're recording it maybe from the new studio. Yes. Speaking of things.

Speaker 1 41:34

Yeah, we're we're moving the studio.

Speaker 41:36

Yeah. Uh maybe. Maybe. Like, well, it's on it's we're we're planning to move the studio. That's probably a better way to put it.

Speaker 1 41:44

Yeah, it may it may be back in the old studio quicker than what you think.

Speaker 41:48

Or we may never do it. That's not where I was going with that.

Speaker 1 41:51

It's been a week and a half so far. Why why why go now? I mean, there's two ways of looking at it. One of them's that.

Speaker 41:58

Uh yeah, so let's uh let's go solve some world's problems. Let's go. All right. Well, catch y'all later. Have a good one.
