hidy ho jeepers is time for their Jeep talk show flagship episode and now April I heard that you took issue with being on the number
(Explosion)
see how it is I did not discover until today that I’m number two so yeah we gotta figure something out we gotta talk but I didn’t say you were number two I said you were on flagship yeah same thing same thing actually it works out really well because I get to record during the day with you on on Wednesdays yes because you’re available and I don’t know that that was necessarily true for the first part of the week like on Tuesdays but it works out very very good because normally I record everything in the evening and well you record in the evening on your podcast I do with the women’s off-road warriors when we get together matter of fact we have a recording tonight so Wednesday nights is for them and then Wednesday afternoons are for you so yeah so does that is that tough on you recording two episodes two podcasts on the same day I mean I know there’s several hours in between the two but no because only have to do my makeup and hair once a week I’m just kidding I’m just kidding and Saturdays are bathdays right? Saturday’s are bathdays
(…)
very very nice alright so on tonight’s episode and we’re gonna be talking a little Jeep news here and upcoming Jeep events and I’ll just tell you ahead of time April that we may or may not have the correct information because we leaned on AI for the Jeep events so if you see anything there or you the viewer if you see or hear anything that we’re saying that’s wrong feel free to send us a message jeeptalkshow.com slash contact to find out all the ways that you can reach out to us alright so Jeep CEO brought Bob and I think I’m getting better at this broaderdorf outlined a product driven turnaround strategy implementing 81 changes to pricing and products to regain market share as noted in an X post you’re familiar with X right it’s the artist that was formerly called Twitter Twitter yeah it’s still there yeah so yeah they just changed the name he emphasized focusing on Jeeps core audience holy crap who would have ever thought about that if there was only some podcast out there that was bitching about them focusing on the Jeep consumer you know they’re listening they gotta be they’re they have a they have a cease and desist letter just waiting to be signed whoever the charge person is you know all I have to do is just go a little too far and boom you just you need to go to the mailbox and check the mail because it’s probably in there it’s probably in there yeah or or it’s my little ticket get a free 392 gladiator a little even better yeah a little I doubt that’s gonna happen but that’s that’s not gonna happen I’ll say some prayers for you I’ll be looking for mine too so again he emphasized focusing on jeeps core audience and responding to customer feedback oh I guess that’s kind of what we’re doing because we’re both Jeep owners yeah including engaging on reddit oh that’s cool so they’re actually gonna be talking on social media and we’ve talked about it before there’s actually a I forget what it’s called it’s an Instagram broadcast channel I think it’s what it was called that you got the invite yeah and I think it’s I think really is I think it really is jeep this is I’m gonna at least believe it is I believe it is too so yeah of course whenever various celebrities respond to me on tiktok I get really excited Sandra Bullock is she’s she’s reaching out to me and then I see that checkmark and then I well no there’s a that three-year four-digit number at the end of Sandra Bullock you know right crap not today no no not today Sandy so I would like to go to the show just to do a series of snorts for me you know how she I think it’s I sort of I know I’m not even say I sorta I do the same thing when I get really tickled so I really have to control myself on these podcast so I have a joke about that and you tell me if this is now this isn’t so you tell me if this is inappropriate not I think it’s funny you’re in hell but again it’s my joke whenever somebody snorts when they’re laughing that is the equivalent of the involuntary orgasm of comedy
(Blank Audio)
too far it’s sorta true it’s sorta true it’s not a control thing I mean some people do the snort I mean I’m sure Sandra Bullock does it for for effect for it for effect yeah but I love the snort if I tell somebody I’m not snorting for you not snorting all right so so I’m not snorting all right move on well see that’s good I’m glad to hear that because when you snort I’m gonna know that I really got you there it was I really got your funny bone and you just you couldn’t help yourself that’s perfect all right so there’s something new on the Jeep talk show dot-com website we have links to our articles are you familiar with our articles it’s kind of yes I saw you’ve got some links so that’s exciting so again blame AI I mean I like writing but I just don’t have all that time to do correct spelling and put all those fancy words in there AI does it for me so it’s it’s made everything so much easier yeah it’s my story but I get to get the get AI to fancy it up for me make it look like you can tweak it yeah tweak it and put it in your words but there’s two oh yeah yeah absolutely so you may have seen these articles like Jeep lied about the 392 final edition and we’re glad they did yes we are yes we are and most recently DIY vehicle repairs versus paying for professional services you can just go to our website and look for the little title that says even more in our pages so these things are aren’t posts where you would see the the post for the various episodes I do these are pages so that you can do stuff like what we’re doing here and there’s there’s often an image associated with them and I didn’t put it here in the notes but I post these things up on LinkedIn LinkedIn let you put post articles so and then check that out they’ve been doing very well I mean really a big deal I’m surprised people have time to read on LinkedIn I’m serious I mean I’m not a very good reader but take a minute smell the roses read a little bit yeah I do need to make sure I check the what AI comes up with I can’t just trust it that is true that is true oh yes and that brings me to a quick quick simple story I guess someone shared someone shared something that they I guess copied from chat GP AI and well they forgot they didn’t read it and at the end it said insert your name best regards whatever they didn’t insert their name it just went out with that yeah did you ever get the spam it says hello insert name here yeah this was from an actual company and it probably
(…)
is yeah proofreading is I mean that’s kind of the downside to AI it does it so good you just get the trust it so you trust it and yeah you shouldn’t always trust it so especially if you’re the CEO of a company double check that thing so in the DIY vehicle repairs versus paying for a professional services which one do you do or is it a combination of both you’ve got a Jeep I’m sure you’ve got a Jeep issues
(…)
I do I want more than I pay someone because I don’t know I just feel like I can I can do it just as well I mean I don’t have all the tools if I don’t have the tools obviously I have to take us to a shop but if I have the tools have the capability then we’re going all in and trying to get it fixed so I’m just kind of a firm believer that I’m gonna take better care of my things than someone else’s so yeah I think it for me anyway I think it depends on how much money I have because if I have enough money to buy another Jeep I may trust somebody else working on it because the worst case is that is by replacement but when it but you know I don’t have that kind of money I don’t I can’t really afford there’s in the story that that I tell or their article that I tell a friend of mine was talking about a friend of his got an $8,000 quote to replace struts not this isn’t a Jeep replace the struts front and rear and do a break job $8,000 so what did he do actually Chris is who I’m talking about Chris while there and did it for him and I think that the total the total bill was like 700 bucks or something for part oh my gosh yeah less than less than 10% of the quote if you can do it yourself I don’t know why you don’t I can’t imagine it something being worth $8,000 in labor I mean or $7,000 in labor and either yeah well it was it was from a company a nation national chain that I’ve had dealt with before and learn not to deal with again well there you go yeah I think they’re they’re deep into screwing people over frankly so anyway there’s some insights there things that I’ve learned things that Chris had talked to me about the other day on the on the phone so I shared it in that DIY thing and I imagine a lot of you guys out there already know this men and women alike but I think women are more likely to fall for some of this stuff because you have no idea and actually I give a couple of things that you can do in there for example you can go yeah I think that I think they normally put the any items to be replaced on the quote so you can go look those items right parts up and see how much the parts and see how much yeah and that’s that’s exactly what I do but you know and when you say between the men and women I think a lot of times just automotive places maybe just think they can easily get away with it with women and so they don’t even try as much with a guy and maybe that’s what it is so I just go in there and start giving them a dirty look and I’m not very approachable mess with me you give you give them the look like this seat is occupied oh and they’re
(…)
I can’t even hear for one thing and one thing only don’t even try to sell me anything else oh and that’s the other thing is the just simply because they tell you what has to be replaced doesn’t initially mean that’s what has to be replaced it may be that and something else that they’re adding on and then I think I didn’t put it in their article but I think going to another shop and have them give you a quote is a good idea and really I would before I got a quote I would say is there any charge for a quote and if they say yes just leave because that’s the cost to do it most places are going to give you an estimate for free right and well it should and get a second opinion just like a doctor so I was gonna say the same yep get a second opinion compare prices you know know what you’re shopping for know how much the parts cost you know at the end of the day it’s your vehicle you get to make your own decisions you just cuz you show up at a shop doesn’t mean you have to go with them so yeah yeah and also to the kind of get you it’s kind of like I don’t know you probably don’t remember this but Radio Shack used to have a free battery car yeah you get a free battery card and you go in there and I think it was once a month you could get a free battery and I remember my dad doing that yeah and the whole idea was to get your ass in the store yes if you’re in the store to pick up a battery will more than likely you’re gonna pick up something that you need something else while you’re there you know and that’s the same thing with these these shops where they you know get you in there they know that you’ve taken your time to get there you probably have a job you’re there you don’t want to waste more of your time so just do it so they bank once shop yeah I miss Radio Shack I do too yeah I remember Radio Shack back when they had like resistors and transistors yeah parts actually they never had never had a super big selection I remember back whenever they had a tube tester it was a big apparatus and you go and stick your yeah yeah they had tubes that you could buy you know that’s cool yeah so yeah we didn’t we didn’t have many stores around here but Radio Shack was one of those that we did have and you know it wasn’t huge it was just a small yeah shack radio shack but you know it was fun to go in I always went in with my dad so it has some fond memories even outside of just selling stuff so I kind of got into CB right when the craze was yeah right before the craze took off right the movies and all that stuff and so Radio Shack was like oh I gotta me out it’s the place to go I didn’t have anything else to do I was in high school junior high school and I’m like I learned the Radio Shack catalog back and forward and I’d go in there and just hang out look at stuff so I was doing it from the radio standpoint and actually had Radio Shack base station antenna for my CB but anyway it was it was a lot of fun and it was like the forerunner of social media because I mean that’s really what it was it is internet it was doing the same thing on CB and luckily I was only about 1700 yards I think my parents house was only it was like a quarter mile from I-10 and a rest area and I used to give so you can pick up I bet you learned a lot it was so funny because they always thought I was in the rest area yeah I’m gonna come find you I’m gonna come find your ass in that rest area okay that’s funny I’d say I would have had so much fun with that myself I’d say Jackknife Jackknife don’t Jackknife that oh they get so mad hey yeah oh yeah so it was funny actually that’s not a media before social media that’s kind of the forerunner of this podcast is because I was doing this stuff when I was 16 years old and people would literally call up somebody and say hey get Tony to get on the radio and they weren’t on there to talk to me they just want to hear all the bullshit I was gonna come up with
(…)
a long a long mental illness for me all right so customer service issue and I know I know you guys will feel bad about this being another country and stuff and ex post on August 23 reported a customer complaint about Jeep India’s Moti I think Nagar Service Center it’s India I don’t know where a Jeep compass under warranty had water damage but the dealer demanded eight to thousand and I think it’s rupees that they have there in India. Our Cal patties is one of the two. Cal patties. Cal patties for parish prompting public backlash.(…) And again, what are rupees? I think they’re like dollars, but not. So. I thought rupees was like a truck.(…) I’m just kidding.
(…)
It’s what you put on your jewelry. Oh, those are rupees. All right.
(…)
So based on available information, here are the upcoming Jeep events scheduled within the next 30 days from September 3rd, 2025 through October 3rd, 2025. In case you can’t do basic math, Eureka, spring spring. And I haven’t heard of these, these ones before. So I’m glad I looked it up Eureka Springs Jeep jam, September 11th through 14th. Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
(…)
Sounds nice. You know, you’d pass for Arkansas. You could be an Arkansas native. I think I could. Yeah. I drove through Arkansas. Not a bad place. No, no, it’s actually quite beautiful. My, my, my brother lived there from his age of 18 to his death. I think he passed away at around the age of 62 or something at heart condition. But Conway, Arkansas near Little Rock. So, yeah, he lived there most of his adult life or almost all his adult life. So did you ever visit Arkansas? I did because there was actually an 18 year age difference between me and my brother. I figured, yeah. And then I flew up there by myself, I think at the age of nine. Wow. Took the plane up there and they didn’t do the things that they do now where they, they monitor, you know, and make sure that, you know, they take care of you. Make sure that they hand you off to a person. Right. At least I don’t remember that happening.(…) And I think it was the first time that I ever flew in a plane, went through a thunderstorm. Oh gosh. Yeah.(…) Nine years ago, but it was, it was fun going up there and visiting. And, uh, actually, uh, I wasn’t planning on talking about this, but my brother was actually the reason why I got into CB. They would come down usually annually.(…) And he, he showed up one year or they showed up one year, him and his family. And he had a CB in his white panel van. And, uh, he was talking, uh,(…) the CB years call it skip, uh, talking far away from his, uh, van and the radio, my mom and I were in there and my mom was always very interested in technology, but she lacked the, the drive, I guess, to actually get involved in it. So she would encourage me to get involved in it. That’s so cool. And then she wasn’t, she was kind of watching it from the periphery. So anyway, I got to see because my brother came down and, uh, and I got it because my, my mom helped me get, get it. Um, that’s a cool story. Yeah. Yeah. So, uh, really a lot of the stuff, uh, has been just, uh, going through things and I find almost everything interesting. Uh, and it’s hard for me to stay focused on one thing cause I, you know, like squirrel, you know, doing something else that’s interesting. So, all right. Yeah. I think a lot of people have that issue. I will not be drugged up. Damn it. I haven’t, if I’m H H D A or whatever it is too bad. All right. So the fifth annual Eureka Spings. Yeah. Thank you.
(…)
Well, place, uh, in place on the Oozark.(…) Teacher. I’m going to just mess you all up. I’m a former special ed teacher. All my kids had ADHD. They were all on drugs.
(…)
When I was in school, they gave spankins and you know, that helped out a lot better than drugs. Dad did it. Dad.
(…)
All right. Back on track. Sorry. Yeah. We don’t want to get the, uh, the child protective services on you. What’s the, what’s the statute of limitations? Is it statute or statue? That’s a, that’s a joke. Yeah.
(…)
Highlights include a pre-cheap jam, uh, howdy dinner. Oh yeah. You got to have a howdy dinner.
(…)
Texas howdy, howdy y’all a registration party at Pine Mountain village, a Jeep night light cruise. Oh, that’s nice. I like the nighttime.
(…)
Like the nighttime crew. By the way, if you’ve got more lights, uh, than, uh, that are brighter than the sun, don’t use them on the trail ride at night.(…) I mean, if you’re leaving the trail, yeah, if you’re leaving the trail, that’s one thing, but if you’re just, Oh, I’m in nine. I’m driving off road. I got to turn on one of these motherfuckers. No, people bond.
(…)
Yeah. You don’t want to blind anybody. Exactly. You turn on a couple. You’ll be lucky if somebody doesn’t, uh, you’ll in Arkansas, shoot your ass. All right. So, uh, Jeep soins showing sign, which are always, I like the show and shine. Yeah. It’s always been fun. Uh, you get to walk around, you get to talk to people and, uh, you get to see all the modifications, turn your nose up at the renegades, um,(…) uh, downtown, so you Rika Springs, uh, trail rides, uh, poker run a scout. You what’s the, what the hell is a poker run? Do you have to have cars?(…) You have to have chips. At least the poker run that I’ve done you have. So you show up to each, wait, how did it work? You have, you get a card.
(…)
I don’t, you had to collect cards. That’s what it is. So each stop you collect one card. Oh, do you have a hand? Write it down and then you go find the next place you get another card.(…) And so, um, I don’t know how many stops you have, but I guess how many poker cards do you have? Seven? Five or something? I mean, I think so.
(…)
Depending on the stops you have, you get one card per stop and then whoever’s hand is the best. I guess they want to try. Makes sense. Yeah.(…) Yeah. They do that at Myrtle Beach deep jam. So they just, we just randomly out of a deck of cards, uh, get a card. And, uh, that’s interesting. Yes. So literally we had a sheet and we’d show up and there would be someone there and they would just, you know, hold out the deck and you drew, but you drew your own card, turned it over and then wrote down what you got that initial it. You’d move on to the next stop. Yeah. So, yeah, that way too. You can’t put a card that way. Yeah. And you get to go see neat and cool places that you might not go see at different events. So yeah.
(…)
So April, I don’t know if, uh, if I’ve mentioned this to you before or maybe you’re already familiar with it because you follow along on social media, uh, watching the G talk show stuff. Uh, but, uh, some of you guys out there may have noticed our first 10 videos. Uh, on social media, Instagram, uh, tick talk, uh, Facebook. Uh, but, uh, the first 10, does the first 10 make any sense to you if you don’t already know about it?
(…)
I think it would. Yeah. So it’s the first 10 minutes of the episode. Uh, and, uh, so it’s kind of like, um, they are this Jeep talk show thing. They keep irritating the hell out of me. I haven’t stopped following them yet, but I see all these, these little video things and I just haven’t made the time to go watch a video. Well, now you can and you know, it’s only going to be 10 minutes. Yeah. Yeah. It’s only 10 minutes long. That’s a good idea. And then hopefully you’ll go, that was pretty good. I’m going to go watch the whole thing and watch the rest of it. And then you can just, you can go to the YouTube and, or, uh, rumble and just skip the first 10 minutes and watch the rest of it. So, uh, anyway, we’ll see. Yeah. And you don’t, the end. Exactly.
(…)
So, uh, yeah, you don’t have time for an hour of a Jeep talk show. You can now watch the first 10 minutes available, Instagram, LinkedIn, tick talk and Facebook. Yes, we are on LinkedIn. It’s funny, uh, Cody, uh, from the, uh, um, not true. Is it trails off road? Yeah. Uh, trails off road podcast. Um, which is since a pod faded, uh, Cody, uh, got on LinkedIn and I was like, really, isn’t that like a business thing? He goes like, what the hell? And, and actually we’ve made quite a few contacts, professional contacts using LinkedIn. So, uh, yeah. So if, uh, if you want to, you can find the Jeep talk show on LinkedIn and follow along, we’ll be happy to.
(…)
Yeah. Recipitate your, uh, your follow.
(…)
All right. So the 44th annual, uh, fall four wheel jamboree nationals, September 19th to 21st, uh, Hendricks County fairgrounds, uh, Danville, I was gonna say dare field. That just sounds that that doesn’t sound like a good place to go. Danville, Indiana, this event, while not Jeep exclusive. Oh, that’s a fail. Uh, is a major off-roading gathering featured four by four vehicles, including Jeeps includes off-road demonstrations, custom builds, and a vendor, uh, inventor areas Jeep enthusiasts often attend for the off-road experience and community, uh, more details at four wheel jamboree.com. So that’s, that’s pretty cool. That’s Indiana. Yep.(…) Uh, so, oh, I bet you this one is a good one. I always hear bad things about New Jersey. So, uh, I mean, I don’t know. I don’t have any New Jersey jokes here, but, uh, so the fall New Jersey Jeep jam, um, I’m sorry, Jeep invasion. It’s September 20th, uh, 2025 ocean city, broad walk, broad walk ocean city, New Jersey, this will be a nice event. I think so. The expression for that area. I mean, uh, I can well imagine that there’s a, well, I don’t really know. Maybe there are some nice off-road places in New Jersey, or at least in a New York state. Um, this event features a police escorted Jeep parade through town with up to 400 Jeeps parking on the iconic ocean city broad walk, a boardwalk brother. Uh, it includes a show and shine contest and vendor section pre-registration is required for Jeeps to park on the boardwalk, but spectator administration, uh, administration admission is free. More information at sell a jeep.com. Oh, that’s how they get you. Yeah.(…) That’s that’s, that sounds like a business going on there. There’s a catchphrase.(…) Oh, and I don’t want to, I don’t want to pass on this one. This is coming up this weekend. Uh, the Detroit for Fest. Uh, it’s going to be at Holly Oaks, O R V park in Michigan, uh, major off-roading event featuring Jeep and other four bar four vehicles, and, uh, Chris is going to be there so it’s September 5th through six. Um, Chris is going to be there. Is that right? Cause the date is wrong on this. I mean, the year is wrong on this.
(…)
I think that’s right. He’s going to be there. So I just want to get the dates correctly. You can go over to a four Fest.com to see the actual dates on this event, but I’ve got it down as September 5th through six, which is Friday and Saturday. And I think that is correct. Uh, there’s a trails, rock courses, off-road skills seminars, uh, off-road skills, one-on-one winching and recovery techniques, uh, vendor villages, food trucks, live music, and a passport to the prizes with a grand prize trip to Moab, Utah.(…) So I did verify that one again, four Fest dot com, uh, Chris from the Jeep talk show will be there, uh, Chris, just to confuse the hell out of you guys. Chris from G tops, uh, will be there as a vendor and G tops.(…) Yeah, exactly. Uh, so the G tops are the panels where they take your freedom panels. They cut a big ass hole in it and they put this polymer in there. Oh yes. Okay. So you can just see up all the time. It was, we, we used them for the first time in 2024 EJS. And it was wonderful being able to see, especially cause you know, Moab, there’s so much stuff to see out the windows, but also to a move. And, uh, uh, with the, the changing weather, uh, at the, at the 2024 EJS, it was good to have, I mean, snow and rain and all kinds of stuff. We didn’t have to worry about it. Uh, the wife and I could just look up and see it was wonderful.(…) I have a clear panel that works like that. So yeah, it’s really cool. And I usually put it on around fall. Is it, uh, the clear panel? What is that? Uh, uh, clear lids? No, it’s actually a bad company called putco.(…) Um, and there’s this really cool because it’s one solid panel. I don’t know about clear lids if they’re two, but it’s one just entire. It’s a single one. So yeah, it’s funny. Uh, I don’t want to get Chris. Uh, I don’t think it’s going to get me in trouble, but Chris, uh,(…) mentions putco a lot. Uh, I won’t say that he says this, but my interpretation is those assholes over at putco, they make a good lid. Oh, I don’t know. If you ever get to see a G top lid, uh, look at that. Yeah. Look at the construction quality. Cause I think that it’s night and day personally. So, uh, but, but you’re entitled to your opinion. Yeah. So I’ve only had, well I’ve had so, but yeah, I will say I haven’t ever had a leak or anything like that. So, and I’ve had it for several years, so I’ve enjoyed it. Uh, I’ve been told, uh, I don’t know my hair, but you can guess that the, the clear lids, because it’s plastic and then you put the metal hardware in there, the plastic cracks around the holes. I have heard that. Cause it’s not a good thing to mix those two things. Uh, you know, metal and plastic. Yes. So yeah. But I have not had any issues with, um, the putco one. Right. Uh, all right. So, uh, yep, yep, yep. Like I said, Chris will be there. Uh, the two Chris’s will be there. And actually if you go there, you can actually see G tops because, uh, uh, Chris from G tops will have the G tops on his, uh, wrangler and, uh, Chris from the Jeep talk show as the G tops on his gladiator. So go, go over there, uh, bother Chris, uh, get some stickers.
(…)
Uh, one, one other, uh, event I think is coming up on the tail end of all those is the overland East expo. I didn’t see that on the list, but I want to say that starts around October first week in October. So October 3rd, maybe, but yeah, that’s a great event as well. So lots going on there, but check that one out. That’s an Arrington, Virginia. I’ve gone to that. This will be my 30 year going to that one. Cool. Um, so let me ask you something. Have you, have you ever, uh, watched or heard our Nikki G’s before? Yes. Yes. Well, uh, I apologize to you and the audience, but it’s time for another Nikki G. All right.(…) Nikki G says don’t oversell
Hey, this is Nicky G. I had a great time walking around the Great Smoky Mountain Jeep invasion meeting people here and there. Except for Natalie. I couldn’t find Natalie. Every time I tried to find her, she just wasn’t there.
(…)
So it leads me to believe that either she wasn’t feeling well because the Southern cuisine didn’t agree with her. We tend to eat a lot of gravy.
(…)
Or Natalie doesn’t exist and she’s just AI-generated.
(Bell Ringing)
(…) I’m calling to tell you, “Hey, do you know why ants never get sick?” Yeah, it’s because they’re full of antibodies.
(…)
I’ll show myself out.
(…)
Wait a minute, I live here.
(…)
Right, in the shop. I live in the shop. I’m not allowed in the main house.
(…)
Hi boys and girls, I’ll tell you later. Have a good one. Bye.
it.

Amber, what do you got going on? Anything special? I mean, any events you’re going to, I mean, you, you mentioned your podcast. Uh, your podcast is a weekly podcast, right? So it’s a weekly podcast. I’ll be meeting with the girls tonight. So Lily and Chrissy. Hi, but yeah, we have the podcast every Wednesday night, most every Wednesday night, depending on, you know, the girls’ schedules. But I do have, um, an interesting event coming up. So you guys will be the first ones to hear this because I have not talked about it. Um, but I did start working for JEDCO.(…) So I’ll be flying out with Amber, um, next week and we’re going to Maryland and we’ll get to visit their facility, their warehouse there, and they’re doing a crab fest, so we’ll be going to the crab fest. So yeah, check that out and stay tuned, but I’ll be sharing lots from, from JEDCO. And if you don’t know, JEDCO is the company that, uh, does brand merchandise for Jeep,(…) Ford, uh, Chevrolet.
(…)
Uh, they do stuff for Bronco specifically, Ram,(…) all your beer companies, Madela, Bushwizer, Pacifico, you name it. They do them also Willie Nelson, Leonard Skinner, um, some artists. So really cool, cool companies that they represent. So I’m excited to be part of them and travel out to Maryland and get to spend some time. And then we have Overland Expo East coming up. So that’s going to be fun. And like I said, that’s in Arrington, Virginia.(…) Then I’ve got Myrtle Beach Jeep Jam coming up. That’s Halloween weekend. So I’ll be MCing, um, that event as well, uh, with some other folks and, uh, just bringing all the fun stuff that’s going on. They do have a poker run, so I’ll be sharing some of the poker run, but yeah, those are some of the top three coming up that I have going on mixed in with a whole bunch of other stuff. Very nice. Uh, so I’m sorry, was it Jeb Co. Is that what you were, what you were? Jed Co. J E D C O. So, uh, if you don’t mind, you can always say pass, but, uh, what is it that you’re going to be doing for them?(…) So just going out touring their facility. Uh, we are doing a photo shoot, both Amber and I, um, just sharing kind of meeting the JEDCO family, I would say. And then definitely they’re putting on the crab fest. So I’ll be going and tasting, I guess, a bunch of different crab.

I spent about a month out in Columbia, uh, in Maryland, and, uh, that was the worst food month I’ve ever had. Oh gosh. Don’t tell me that. It’s very, very bland.(…) Um, is it? Yeah. There was this, uh, this one place that was known for their crab and you know, seafood is often very bland, especially like lobster. That’s why they give you a 55 gallon drum of butter. They eat the lobster with. So, uh, the crab meat, which was, it was gorgeous and it, you know, but it really didn’t have any flavor, but the, the little, uh, I don’t know, powder stuff that you could get with it. The seasoning that you could put on it. It was very, very good. So what I was going to say is, uh, it’s good, but make sure that when you’re eating that crab to get that powder or whatever it is, hot sauce, whatever. Although I think, I think they’re too, too East. They don’t know anything about a hot sauce. See I’m in Texas and we’re very close to Mexico. Hot sauce, right? I’m on everything. Oh yes. Yes. So it was a very bland deal. It might fit you very fit you well for your, your eating thing, but it was. But I’m muscled, I’m muscled my way through it and gained weight while I was there. So really? Yeah. Yeah.(…) I’m definitely, yeah. I’m not a huge seafood girl, so we’ll see what our daughters aren’t either. I love seafood. I mean, I think my number one, uh, number one food is Mexican food. Uh, and I found out after I married my wife, who’s originally from Mexico. That’s not Mexican food. That’s Tex-Mex. There’s not a lot of cheese on Mexican food. Uh, but there is in Texas, you know, so yeah.(…) I’m probably Tex-Mex as well, but yeah. I think most of us are. We’ll see what happens. We’ll see what happens. But I’ve been, I’ve been lucky enough to have some, some real Mexican term for my mother-in-law and, uh, my, uh, uh, she can make fresh flour tortillas, which I couldn’t tell the difference between tortillas at first. And then as I ate them, I learned what the difference was and I look forward to the fresh flour tortillas, my wife, and I get in trouble every time I mention this. My wife can make tortillas, but they come out in the shape of Texas.(…) So they’re not round.

How about paella? Do you like paella? Uh, don’t think I’ve had that or if I had, I don’t remember. It’s really good. Look it up. It’s good,(…) but it’s gotta be authentic. Oh yeah. Absolutely. Yeah.

You know, I was just thinking I used to mumble a lot and my wife would say, what did you say?(…) Because I was always mumbling. Yeah.(…) And, and I, I just fumbled that thing. I was kind of mumbling because I was going through it and I, yeah. And we’re going back into that same thing. You know, it’s, it’s funny. Um, I don’t know if you’re a, if your husband does this or not, but, uh, maybe you do it, uh, you’re at the grocery store. Somebody’s parked the goddamn basket. Okay. Corner in the aisle.
(…)
And it’s like, you know, get the hell out of the way. You know, if you’re trying to block the whole aisle, you’re doing a good job. So what I’ll do and my wife gets embarrassed. I’ll say, excuse me. And they go,
(…)
that’s not mumbling. Yeah. They jump. And that’s one of the reasons why I mumble. Cause I scare people. Cause you scare people. I don’t know the scare people. I mean, not less, they’re being an idiot, you know, then it’s fine to scare them. All right. Amber, Amber, I’m sorry. Uh, April have a, I told you it’s good. Cause that’s what I wanted to call you Amber at least three times so far. And I just let you two because I’m good with it. I grew up like that. Yep.(…) It’s all good. But it wasn’t your parents that were calling you Amber, was it? It’s sometimes, I mean, not until later down the road when I had her, but like I said, my niece is Ashley, Amber, because my, my daughters, I can’t, sometimes I get confused because they’re all the same size now as adults. They’re all the same size. We all like, look alike. We all start with the letter A. So now I just don’t even fight it anymore. So I’m not even going to fight you about it.
(…)
Well, you’re very easy going. It is what it is. Thank you very much. Enjoy your trip to, to Maryland. And don’t let me, don’t let me sway you on the food. You may enjoy it. I will. I’ll let you know. I’ll let you know.
(…)
Bye guys.
