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.
