Pull the Thermostat, Pay the Cheese Tax
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...
-
Corn and Cornography, Camel Virgins, and a Space Screwdriver
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…

Blood Clots, Broken Teeth, Billionaires
This one's a classic hangout episode that goes everywhere at once. Rich is dealing with a hot, itchy leg that has him and the VA nervously eyeing a possible blood clot, and his dental partial breaks for the second time in months. Ron gets tangled up in a "we need a referral" runaround with a VA...
-
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...
-
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...
-
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...
-
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…
more -
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…
more -
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...
-
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...
-
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…
more -
Storm Surge Selfies, Clock Springs, and Yucky Song Wrong Hole
This week Rich rides out Tropical Storm Bertha's storm surge with Bella in tow, then dives deep into Jeep repairs — clock springs, shocks, and cabin air filters. Ron chimes in with his own trail-ride mayhem, a near-miss on the road, and the story of his mom's sentimental Buick Regal. From there…
more -
Galley Nippers, Gopher Gas, and a Fatter Fat Boy
Rich, Bryan, and Ron cover a lot of ground this week — back MRIs, a blown disc that ended jump status, a Hemet tire that ate a whole Saturday in Korea, a stolen challenge coin, Bella's dinner theater, and a yard war against mosquitoes and a mole. There's also a genuinely great story about letting…
more -
Bumper Cars At 90 Miles Per Hour
This week, Bryan, Rich,and Ron sits down for one of those conversations that reminds everyone exactly why they do this show — life shows up fast, and sometimes all you can do is laugh through the chaos. The big story is Ron's unbelievably rough week on the road: rear-ended on I-35 by a kid doing...
-
Dogs, Dust, and a Really Bad Friday
Bryan, Rich, and the Duuude get together for another round of life, mostly unplanned. Bella starts a full-blown TV rivalry with any animal on screen, Rich's back-door floor peaks up like a tent and turns into a full flooring-replacement nightmare, and losing his phone at Lowe's ends with a trip…
more -
Everything's Faster Than I Am
This week Bryan, Rich, and the Duuude tackle the important stuff: standing water that won't quit, a GoPro that sprouted legs and ran off, and what happens when you look down your nose at explosives. Also: hovercrafts as a business model, the Waffle House pipeline, TSA's war on ranch dressing,...
-
Chili Burritos and 4 Sets of Jack Stands
Rich is up to his ankles in floodwater, The Duuude just dropped $900 on a new phone he barely understands, and the Duuude's earbuds are staging a full rebellion. This week's rabbit hole starts with relentless Gulf Coast rain and a possible "Super El Nino," then spirals into a Samsung S26…

-
You ate a Monkey!? or a banana?
This week Brian beats the Dude onto the call, Rich is out here mowing a swamp, nobody can find the spider on the dollar bill, and the Crocs have officially lost all their tread. It's Episode 103 and we are absolutely not slowing down. We kick things off with Rich half-mowing his flooded yard —…
more -
We Do Red Beans and Grass
Three friends, zero sponsors, one biblical amount of rain. This week Rich is basically living in a bayou — the Mississippi Gulf Coast got hammered with over five inches of rain in a single week, and Bella has strong opinions about wet grass. Also, the local frogs sound like kittens and it scared...
-
Your Blood Is a Freaking Oreo
Episode 101 kicks off with weather swings, cozy pets, and Dude unpacking the most stressful DOT physical of the year — an A1C reading that hijacked his blood pressure, a clean CPAP compliance report, and a doctor who took his sweet time delivering the verdict. Rich looks up what A1C actually...
