  This interview episode is

  brought to you by G-tops.
• 1:00:07
  Why would you want to lose the
• 1:00:08
  freedom of your freedom tops?
• 1:00:10
  Jeeped above the freedom top through
• 1:00:12
  years of design and testing.
• 1:00:13
  Quick on, quick off, no
• 1:00:14
  leaking, and easy to store.
• 1:00:16
  The unbreakable G-top panels installed in
• 1:00:19
  the freedom tops make the
• 1:00:20
  cabin quieter, stronger,
• 1:00:22
  and lighter.
• 1:00:23
  Clear sea through tops
• 1:00:24
  with no visual distortion.
• 1:00:26
  Some other tops not only distort your
• 1:00:29
  view, they actually act as a drum.
• 1:00:32
  It's bass you do not
• 1:00:33
  want to hear in your Jeep.

  This might be the way for you to go.

• 1:01:37
  Every Friday we have an interview with a
• 1:01:38
  new and exciting guest.
• 1:01:39
  Sometimes they have products to sell.
• 1:01:41
  Other times they just have great stories.
• 1:01:43
  Sometimes it's both.
• 1:01:44
  And I think that's
• 1:01:45
  what we have here today.
• 1:01:47
  So sit back, grab a cold one and get

  And today is a radio contact segment.
• 1:02:52
  I'm going to talk about the PRS, the anal
• 1:02:55
  cord restraint system.
• 1:02:56
  No!
• 1:02:58
  No.
• 1:02:59
  No.
• 1:03:00
  That's not right.
• 1:03:01
  We love our listeners.
• 1:03:03
  That's not right for
• 1:03:03
  several reasons, John.
• 1:03:06
  From around the world.
• 1:03:12
  Or from your city.
• 1:03:15
  And sometimes just down the street.
• 1:03:17
  Howdy, neighbor.
• 1:03:18
  It's the Jeep Talk Show interview.
• 1:03:28
  Audio Jeepers, it's time for another Jeep
• 1:03:29
  Talk Show interview.
• 1:03:30
  We're going to be talking with Paul of
• 1:03:33
  radiochattergame.com.
• 1:03:35
  I know, I know.
• 1:03:37
  You're wondering what this is.
• 1:03:38
  Is this like back in the CB days, and I'm
• 1:03:40
  going to show how old I
• 1:03:41
  am, where people would
• 1:03:42
  call in for a radio check
• 1:03:44
  or, you know, what was it?
• 1:03:46
  What was it another one they used to do,
• 1:03:48
  attend something or other?
• 1:03:49
  But they would ask what time it is.
• 1:03:52
  And we would always tell them, because it
• 1:03:53
  was the 15th damn time
• 1:03:54
  that night that somebody
• 1:03:55
  asked for one, and we'd tell them, it's
• 1:03:57
  time for you to buy a watch.
• 1:03:59
  And of course, it was just something to
• 1:04:00
  be able to talk on
• 1:04:01
  that new toy that they had
• 1:04:03
  or to play with or to
• 1:04:04
  show it off to somebody.
• 1:04:06
  Anyway, Paul is the co-founder of radio
• 1:04:08
  chatter, a conversation
• 1:04:09
  starter game for off-roaders
• 1:04:11
  and overlanders.
• 1:04:12
  Founded in 2023 with his wife, Bethany.
• 1:04:15
  Yes, it was her idea.
• 1:04:19
  I think I can see you getting called to
• 1:04:21
  task for taking all the credit at times.
• 1:04:25
  The couple aims to create more adventure
• 1:04:27
  for people by using
• 1:04:28
  conversations to expand the
• 1:04:30
  networks of fellow adventurers.
• 1:04:32
  Paul, thank you very much
• 1:04:33
  for being with us tonight.
• 1:04:36
  Yeah, thanks for having me.
• 1:04:37
  You're excited to be here.
• 1:04:38
  I know Chris, one of our Jeep Talk Show
• 1:04:40
  team members, and Steve
• 1:04:42
  O, one of our Jeep Talk
• 1:04:45
  Show listeners,
• 1:04:46
  actually, he's the only listener.
• 1:04:47
  We only have that one listener.
• 1:04:50
  Sorry to disappoint.
• 1:04:51
  But yeah, they met you at Forefest,
• 1:04:55
  Winter Forefest here
• 1:04:56
  just, what, a month or so ago?
• 1:04:59
  Yeah, that's right.
• 1:04:59
  And I was really, really surprised that
• 1:05:01
  Steve O, who I'm not
• 1:05:04
  saying is cheap, but he hangs
• 1:05:05
  on to his money.
• 1:05:06
  He actually bought one
• 1:05:08
  of these games from you.
• 1:05:10
  That's right.
• 1:05:10
  He did.
• 1:05:11
  We met.
• 1:05:13
  It was a frigid three degrees in the
• 1:05:16
  morning here in Detroit.
• 1:05:16
  I heard it was very cold.
• 1:05:19
  It was cold.
• 1:05:20
  It got to be 15 degrees after
• 1:05:23
  eight hours of being out there.
• 1:05:24
  Short sleeve weather.
• 1:05:27
  You know, for a Winter Forefest, you
• 1:05:30
  couldn't have asked for better.
• 1:05:31
  It was solid snow.
• 1:05:32
  We had just got a ton of snow.
• 1:05:34
  It was cold.
• 1:05:35
  It was really cool.
• 1:05:36
  I'd never been to that event.
• 1:05:38
  And so it was exciting.
• 1:05:39
  I've never been either.
• 1:05:40
  Tom's asked me to come up there several
• 1:05:41
  times, and I'm going to go
• 1:05:42
  eventually, but you know,
• 1:05:43
  that's a three or four hour plane ride.
• 1:05:45
  It's on the plane.
• 1:05:46
  I didn't mean taking the Jeep.
• 1:05:48
  So luckily Chris is
• 1:05:50
  very close to that area.
• 1:05:52
  He always goes to the Forefest events.
• 1:05:54
  And yeah, I mean, it was so funny.
• 1:05:56
  Tom was bitching last year because it was
• 1:05:58
  a Winter Fest last year, but there was no
• 1:06:00
  snow.
• 1:06:01
  So it turned into the Bud Fest.
• 1:06:04
  Yeah.
• 1:06:05
  Yeah, it was perfect for it.
• 1:06:06
  So it was good.
• 1:06:06
  It was frigid, but it was perfect.
• 1:06:08
  All right.
• 1:06:08
  So did you have a good turnout?
• 1:06:10
  Did you get a lot of
• 1:06:11
  eyeballs on your product out there?
• 1:06:12
  Did people ask what the hell is this?
• 1:06:15
  Yeah.
• 1:06:16
  So it turned out really well considering,
• 1:06:18
  you know, I mean, for us, we drive out of
• 1:06:22
  state a lot to do what we do overlanding
• 1:06:25
  and to go to events and,
• 1:06:26
  you know, overland expos
• 1:06:27
  and things like that.
• 1:06:28
  So when I saw that this was going to be
• 1:06:30
  in January, 45 minutes
• 1:06:32
  from my house, it was
• 1:06:33
  like, we've got to do this.
• 1:06:35
  Like it's perfect.
• 1:06:36
  So we went up there and despite it being
• 1:06:39
  cold, it was a blue sky.
• 1:06:40
  And so people were out walking.
• 1:06:42
  And so we got, we got quite a bit
• 1:06:43
  considering what I was
• 1:06:45
  expecting to come by.
• 1:06:47
  So you never know.
• 1:06:47
  That's why you have to go because you
• 1:06:49
  never know what's going to happen.
• 1:06:52
  That's right.
• 1:06:52
  Something like this.
• 1:06:53
  If I wasn't there when we run ran into
• 1:06:55
  Chris and we wouldn't be here right now.
• 1:06:57
  So like this is what it's all about,
• 1:06:59
  especially for us being so
• 1:07:00
  new is just getting this is
• 1:07:01
  good because let's address
• 1:07:03
  this ugly part of the story.
• 1:07:05
  And the ugly part of the
• 1:07:06
  story is you don't have a Jeep.
• 1:07:09
  So there's no reason, there's no reason
• 1:07:10
  why you would even
• 1:07:11
  know anything about a Jeep
• 1:07:12
  talk show.
• 1:07:14
  That is correct.
• 1:07:15
  And the fact that you guys invited me
• 1:07:17
  must be, you must've
• 1:07:18
  talked to every Jeep owner
• 1:07:19
  or something that here you
• 1:07:20
  are inviting a Chevrolet guy.
• 1:07:22
  No, the deal is, and I never, I never
• 1:07:25
  tell Chris, why did
• 1:07:26
  you send me this guest?
• 1:07:27
  But I'll think it in my head.
• 1:07:30
  He actually sent me somebody that was
• 1:07:31
  selling a water bottle
• 1:07:33
  and I'm like a water bottle.
• 1:07:35
  Really Chris, I'm interviewing a guy
• 1:07:37
  about water bottles.
• 1:07:38
  And I didn't say anything to him.
• 1:07:40
  Then I started the conversation and was
• 1:07:42
  asking the questions like I do.
• 1:07:44
  And it was actually a
• 1:07:45
  very interesting story.
• 1:07:47
  And it was like, so I just, I came up
• 1:07:49
  with the line, just trust Chris.
• 1:07:52
  So if, so if Chris thinks you have a good
• 1:07:54
  product that an
• 1:07:55
  interesting product you're
• 1:07:56
  going to be on the show.
• 1:07:58
  I mean, we do have what appears to be a
• 1:08:01
  Jeep on our product.
• 1:08:02
  I like that.
• 1:08:03
  I guess you also say, when you're doing a
• 1:08:05
  Bronco podcast, you
• 1:08:06
  say this also appears to
• 1:08:07
  be a Bronco.
• 1:08:09
  You know what?
• 1:08:10
  I have no claims of
• 1:08:12
  what vehicles they are.
• 1:08:13
  They just appear to be
• 1:08:14
  whatever vehicle they need to be.
• 1:08:16
  I'm glad you showed that.
• 1:08:16
  And for our, our audio only listeners,
• 1:08:20
  you can watch this
• 1:08:21
  video on YouTube as I keep
• 1:08:24
  telling you guys, so you need to go check
• 1:08:26
  out the, the YouTube, the Jeep Talks show
• 1:08:27
  YouTube channel.
• 1:08:29
  But so that is a definite Midland
• 1:08:32
  microphone that you have on that picture.
• 1:08:35
  Are you doing anything in conjunction
• 1:08:37
  with Midland or are you
• 1:08:38
  just waiting for the season
• 1:08:38
  to assist?
• 1:08:41
  No.
• 1:08:41
  Uh, so we are actually
• 1:08:42
  a partner of Midland.
• 1:08:44
  It was, uh, there, there was funny that
• 1:08:47
  the first radio design
• 1:08:49
  from our designer was a
• 1:08:51
  radio that was also obviously a Midland
• 1:08:53
  and we said, Hey, can we
• 1:08:54
  scale this back a little
• 1:08:55
  bit?
• 1:08:55
  So it's not obviously a Midland radio.
• 1:08:58
  I don't want to get in trouble for that.
• 1:08:59
  So we scaled it back, but it's still very
• 1:09:02
  much looks like a Midland, but because we
• 1:09:04
  scaled it back, I didn't
• 1:09:05
  think out anything of it.
• 1:09:05
  I was like, okay, good.
• 1:09:06
  We changed it.
• 1:09:07
  We're good to go.
• 1:09:08
  And then I got in contact with Midland,
• 1:09:10
  uh, through, you know, a
• 1:09:12
  fellow, fellow overlander
• 1:09:13
  and they love the product.
• 1:09:16
  Um, they become a huge supporter of ours.
• 1:09:18
  Um, a good partner of ours.
• 1:09:20
  Um, we got some good things in the works
• 1:09:22
  with them, uh, coming
• 1:09:23
  up here later this year.
• 1:09:24
  So they, they love it.
• 1:09:26
  They know what looks like their product.
• 1:09:27
  Um, but so we have
• 1:09:29
  no, no problems with it.
• 1:09:30
  It really goes hand in
• 1:09:32
  hand without their radios.
• 1:09:34
  We don't have a product.
• 1:09:35
  I know we haven't even described what it
• 1:09:36
  really is, but without
• 1:09:37
  their radios, we don't have
• 1:09:38
  a product and our product actually gives
• 1:09:41
  more use cases to their radio.
• 1:09:43
  So it goes really, and I think I alluded
• 1:09:44
  to what I think your
• 1:09:45
  product is where instead
• 1:09:47
  of saying some mundane stuff about, or
• 1:09:50
  how about a radio
• 1:09:50
  check or, and I don't think
• 1:09:51
  you see so much of this on GMRS, but it
• 1:09:53
  was very prevalent on,
• 1:09:55
  on CB way back when it
• 1:09:57
  may still happen.
• 1:09:59
  Asking what time it is and these, these
• 1:10:01
  really nonsensical, uh,
• 1:10:03
  why are you transmitting
• 1:10:04
  type things?
• 1:10:05
  Uh, you guys are actually making a game
• 1:10:08
  out of this for, I
• 1:10:09
  would assume not just maybe
• 1:10:11
  people in your group.
• 1:10:13
  I could see that could be the core use,
• 1:10:15
  but it really would be
• 1:10:16
  anybody on the, on the
• 1:10:17
  channel, their frequency.
• 1:10:19
  Absolutely.
• 1:10:20
  And that's what it started off with.
• 1:10:21
  So it really started a few years ago.
• 1:10:24
  Um, you know, just going on
• 1:10:26
  group trips with, with people.
• 1:10:29
  Sometimes we knew the individual, some
• 1:10:30
  many times we didn't
• 1:10:31
  know some of the individuals
• 1:10:32
  on the trip.
• 1:10:33
  And, um, you know,
• 1:10:34
  sometimes it was just quiet.
• 1:10:36
  You're just driving along with other
• 1:10:38
  people on the trails and
• 1:10:39
  talking to whoever's in
• 1:10:40
  your vehicle.
• 1:10:40
  And then sometimes there was a lot of
• 1:10:42
  conversation over, over the radio.
• 1:10:45
  And um, my, my wife who's not here with
• 1:10:47
  us tonight, but, um,
• 1:10:49
  sorry, I'm sorry for your
• 1:10:50
  loss.
• 1:10:51
  This is, that's really for you guys.
• 1:10:54
  No, I'm just kidding.
• 1:10:55
  Uh, she's, she's generally the more fun,
• 1:10:57
  the more talkative person.
• 1:10:59
  So you guys are still doing that.
• 1:11:00
  That will be good for
• 1:11:00
  our second interview.
• 1:11:01
  That's that's right.
• 1:11:03
  Happy to put her on and so on.
• 1:11:05
  You don't want to follow the wife.
• 1:11:07
  You want the best act second.
• 1:11:08
  Yeah, I got it.
• 1:11:10
  Yeah, that's right.
• 1:11:11
  We got, I set the bar low in the
• 1:11:13
  relationship in the podcast.
• 1:11:15
  And you're lucky before
• 1:11:16
  she reminds you of it too.
• 1:11:17
  I mean,
• 1:11:19
  Yeah, that's right.
• 1:11:19
  For sure.
• 1:11:21
  For sure.
• 1:11:22
  Yeah.
• 1:11:22
  And so because she is the talkative one,
• 1:11:24
  like she liked that
• 1:11:25
  talking on the radio, but,
• 1:11:28
  um, some, a lot of the talking was more
• 1:11:30
  technical, like, Hey, I
• 1:11:32
  just saw you did X thing with
• 1:11:33
  your vehicle.
• 1:11:34
  What, you know, and they were, they were
• 1:11:35
  talking about it and she's
• 1:11:36
  like, some of it I couldn't
• 1:11:37
  engage with.
• 1:11:38
  So she wanted to come up with questions
• 1:11:40
  that anyone could engage with.
• 1:11:43
  And, and, but she still wanted them to
• 1:11:44
  all be about what we
• 1:11:46
  were doing, the hobby, the
• 1:11:47
  off-roading or the overlanding.
• 1:11:49
  And so the original question was like,
• 1:11:50
  what, what's your
• 1:11:51
  favorite upgrade to your rig?
• 1:11:53
  And so, um, she came up with questions
• 1:11:55
  and then one of the
• 1:11:56
  next trips we went on, she
• 1:11:57
  just started asking questions when we
• 1:12:01
  weren't driving on
• 1:12:01
  anything technical, maybe it was
• 1:12:03
  pavement or gravel, but she just wanted
• 1:12:04
  to kind of get some conversation going.
• 1:12:07
  And we had good conversation and we got
• 1:12:09
  to the camp and people
• 1:12:10
  were like, where'd you
• 1:12:11
  get those questions?
• 1:12:11
  That was awesome.
• 1:12:12
  And she's like, Oh, I just made them up.
• 1:12:14
  If you want them, you can have them.
• 1:12:16
  And people started really saying, no, you
• 1:12:17
  should like do something with this.
• 1:12:19
  Like you should recreate something.
• 1:12:21
  And we kind of hemmed it off.
• 1:12:23
  Well, the hell two, the hell two is very
• 1:12:26
  difficult because you have to research.
• 1:12:28
  How would you go about this?
• 1:12:31
  Yeah. And what would you do and what
• 1:12:32
  would it look like and how
• 1:12:34
  many people would actually
• 1:12:34
  buy it?
• 1:12:36
  And, you know, we're like, well, what if
• 1:12:37
  we just put it on a
• 1:12:38
  deck of playing cards?
• 1:12:41
  And a lot of people have playing cards.
• 1:12:43
  And so then it's a dual purpose, which
• 1:12:45
  weight is a very
• 1:12:46
  important thing in overlanding,
• 1:12:48
  keeping the weight down, dual purpose.
• 1:12:50
  And so we we started working on that and
• 1:12:53
  said, well, we got we
• 1:12:55
  could we could spare
• 1:12:56
  a thousand bucks or something to make a
• 1:12:58
  handful of cards, you
• 1:12:59
  know, just try it out, see
• 1:13:00
  where it goes.
• 1:13:01
  And so that's what we did last summer was
• 1:13:03
  we printed them out.
• 1:13:04
  We worked with a graphic designer, came
• 1:13:05
  up with something and
• 1:13:07
  just put them out there
• 1:13:09
  earlier or mid last year and been getting
• 1:13:11
  great feedback on it.
• 1:13:13
  People love it, especially
• 1:13:13
  the group trips, especially.
• 1:13:15
  And really, if you have people on the
• 1:13:16
  trip, you don't know.
• 1:13:17
  Oh, that's a good idea.
• 1:13:19
  Yeah. Icebreaker.
• 1:13:20
  Right. Yeah.
• 1:13:22
  Yeah. It's very much an icebreaker.
• 1:13:23
  The types of questions are all
• 1:13:24
  overlanding, off-roading, camping.
• 1:13:26
  Type things and balances storytelling
• 1:13:30
  questions, favorite trips,
• 1:13:32
  things like that, but also
• 1:13:33
  like educational, you know, like what are
• 1:13:35
  your tips and trips
• 1:13:36
  for packing or meal prep?
• 1:13:38
  You know, and just
• 1:13:39
  kind of balances those.
• 1:13:40
  So I warned you about the before we
• 1:13:42
  started recording here
• 1:13:43
  about a cheap talk show,
• 1:13:44
  million dollar idea.
• 1:13:45
  This is a we do a roundtable, weekly
• 1:13:48
  roundtable, zoom people
• 1:13:49
  come into the meeting and
• 1:13:50
  stuff. Yeah. So we ask a series of
• 1:13:53
  questions, usually four questions.
• 1:13:55
  We make it through three of them.
• 1:13:57
  And it's just fun having that chat with
• 1:13:59
  all the zoom people.
• 1:14:00
  They are self-named, by the way.
• 1:14:02
  And one of the questions that we had a
• 1:14:05
  number of months ago
• 1:14:05
  was, do you have a have you
• 1:14:08
  ever had sex in your Jeep?
• 1:14:12
  And Bob raised his hand and I said, Bob,
• 1:14:15
  with somebody, not alone.
• 1:14:18
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:14:19
  This would go be good on the cards.
• 1:14:21
  I mean, the adults
• 1:14:21
  certainly would enjoy it.
• 1:14:23
  I don't know about the
• 1:14:23
  kids in the back seat.
• 1:14:24
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:14:27
  So for this game, I would say no.
• 1:14:32
  However, without giving our upcoming
• 1:14:36
  products away in the next
• 1:14:40
  month, keep an eye out on
• 1:14:42
  our Instagram for our next product.
• 1:14:44
  It is our number one requested like
• 1:14:48
  expansion pack, if you
• 1:14:50
  will, or the expansion.
• 1:14:52
  That makes sense.
• 1:14:53
  Yeah.
• 1:14:54
  Yeah.
• 1:14:55
  So it's very, very much
• 1:14:57
  related to what you just said.
• 1:14:59
  And so, yeah, follow us on Instagram and
• 1:15:02
  in the next probably
• 1:15:03
  less than a month, we'll be
• 1:15:07
  announcing and showing.
• 1:15:08
  Oh, yeah, because you could put stuff
• 1:15:10
  like that, but it's the primary product.
• 1:15:13
  So that way the audience knows if they
• 1:15:16
  buy this that they're going
• 1:15:17
  to need to take the proper
• 1:15:19
  precautions.
• 1:15:20
  You got it.
• 1:15:21
  Yeah.
• 1:15:21
  The first one is very
• 1:15:22
  much any one family-oriented.
• 1:15:24
  Yeah.
• 1:15:24
  Play.
• 1:15:25
  That's right.
• 1:15:26
  That's right.
• 1:15:27
  So we so it started with just this one
• 1:15:29
  product, but we have
• 1:15:31
  three more products, immediate
• 1:15:33
  products in the works that
• 1:15:34
  will be coming out this year.
• 1:15:36
  We're just we're finding like a lot of
• 1:15:39
  great reception of just
• 1:15:40
  anything community building
• 1:15:43
  that is it's different.
• 1:15:45
  Like there are people love games.
• 1:15:46
  They love card games.
• 1:15:47
  They love conversation starters, but
• 1:15:50
  there's not really
• 1:15:51
  anything in in this arena.
• 1:15:53
  And so we're getting lots of requests.
• 1:15:55
  And so we got a lot of things in the
• 1:15:57
  works to continue to build the product.
• 1:15:59
  So let me ask you this.
• 1:16:01
  You came up with the idea.
• 1:16:02
  Let's do it.
• 1:16:03
  And then at any moment, was there a
• 1:16:06
  question or discussion about do we have
• 1:16:08
  52 questions that we
• 1:16:10
  can put on cards?
• 1:16:12
  Yes.
• 1:16:13
  So so it started with probably 10 or 15
• 1:16:17
  questions at first trick.
• 1:16:19
  And then once we got that feedback.
• 1:16:22
  Well, it's encouraging, isn't it?
• 1:16:24
  To get the feedback.
• 1:16:25
  Yeah, exactly.
• 1:16:27
  So so we got that feedback.
• 1:16:28
  And so we were down in West Virginia on a
• 1:16:30
  trip with Mountain State
• 1:16:31
  Overland where we got the
• 1:16:32
  feedback like you guys
• 1:16:33
  should do something with us.
• 1:16:35
  And and so you talk
• 1:16:36
  about a conversation starter.
• 1:16:37
  We spent 12 hours the
• 1:16:39
  rest of the trip coming home.
• 1:16:41
  Bethany and I talking about what
• 1:16:42
  questions we would add.
• 1:16:44
  Perfect.
• 1:16:44
  We ended up coming up with 250 questions.
• 1:16:49
  Many were duplicates or
• 1:16:50
  variations of the others.
• 1:16:51
  After 12 hours, you can
• 1:16:52
  only think of so much.
• 1:16:53
  So it actually became more challenging to
• 1:16:55
  reduce it back down to
• 1:16:57
  52 after having so many
• 1:16:59
  questions.
• 1:17:00
  And so we spent several months because we
• 1:17:03
  were still himming and
• 1:17:04
  hawing whether or not we
• 1:17:05
  wanted to do it.
• 1:17:05
  But at least, you know, nobody likes
• 1:17:07
  rejection, even if it's even
• 1:17:08
  if you know you're going to
• 1:17:09
  lose the money, you don't like the
• 1:17:10
  rejection of your idea
• 1:17:11
  not being like embraced.
• 1:17:14
  Yeah.
• 1:17:15
  Yeah.
• 1:17:15
  And that's and that's really that was
• 1:17:17
  kind of us going back and forth on it.
• 1:17:19
  And we did set it aside.
• 1:17:20
  We came up with the idea yet.
• 1:17:22
  It been not last year became two years
• 1:17:24
  ago, you know, probably in June.
• 1:17:27
  And we we worked on it for about a month
• 1:17:30
  or two and then kind of
• 1:17:31
  killed the idea until late
• 1:17:33
  last or early last year.
• 1:17:35
  And what really
• 1:17:36
  probably tipped the scale.
• 1:17:38
  There we go.
• 1:17:39
  Is I really wanted to learn how to create
• 1:17:43
  and build a business.
• 1:17:44
  And so that was going
• 1:17:45
  to be this was our war.
• 1:17:47
  And here.
• 1:17:48
  Yeah, that's perfect.
• 1:17:49
  No, you can't hear the smoke alarm.
• 1:17:52
  Oh, no.
• 1:17:54
  No, that's good.
• 1:17:55
  I didn't hear.
• 1:17:56
  I don't see smoke.
• 1:17:57
  So you're OK so far.
• 1:17:59
  Yeah.
• 1:17:59
  Hang on a second.
• 1:18:01
  Well, it was no problem.
• 1:18:04
  That's weird.
• 1:18:04
  It never goes off.
• 1:18:06
  I checked the garage.
• 1:18:07
  I've got cameras set up.
• 1:18:08
  I checked the garage.
• 1:18:09
  There's no fire in the garage.
• 1:18:10
  That's always my worry
• 1:18:11
  about attached garage.
• 1:18:13
  Yeah.
• 1:18:14
  Yeah.
• 1:18:15
  All right.
• 1:18:15
  Let's almost start with
• 1:18:16
  showing this on the screen.
• 1:18:18
  OK.
• 1:18:20
  Yeah, I need a kit, a product camera so I
• 1:18:23
  can set up the
• 1:18:24
  product on the desk and show
• 1:18:25
  that we don't get a lot of products.
• 1:18:27
  I mean, that's not one of
• 1:18:28
  the reasons we do this show.
• 1:18:30
  It's not to get free shit.
• 1:18:31
  Yeah.
• 1:18:31
  Sorry, this isn't shit.
• 1:18:33
  But you know what I'm saying.
• 1:18:34
  And but I really appreciate you.
• 1:18:37
  Not only you sent me a
• 1:18:39
  message about give me your address.
• 1:18:42
  I want to send you this.
• 1:18:43
  And I'm thinking, you know, I don't I
• 1:18:45
  mean, I want to talk to
• 1:18:46
  you, but I don't need free
• 1:18:48
  stuff.
• 1:18:48
  That's not that's not the
• 1:18:49
  reason why we do the thing.
• 1:18:50
  But I really appreciate you following up
• 1:18:52
  on that and telling
• 1:18:53
  Chris is like, does Tony
• 1:18:54
  want this or not?
• 1:18:55
  Damn it.
• 1:18:57
  Yeah.
• 1:18:58
  So it's like it's like sure.
• 1:19:00
  And I got to show the sticker.
• 1:19:01
  I don't know about
• 1:19:02
  everybody, but jeepers love stickers.
• 1:19:05
  So that's right.
• 1:19:07
  And we have depending on your rig, we do
• 1:19:11
  have the tan ones too.
• 1:19:13
  I don't know if I sent you both or just
• 1:19:14
  the white one, but we do have a tan.
• 1:19:16
  Yeah. This is the white one, which is fine.
• 1:19:18
  That it goes with that goes with all Jeep
• 1:19:21
  colors, but it should be right.
• 1:19:25
  Yeah.
• 1:19:26
  Yeah.
• 1:19:27
  So you had to call
• 1:19:29
  this thing down from 250.
• 1:19:31
  And I'm thinking this was great.
• 1:19:33
  Even if it was just
• 1:19:34
  something to do on a 12 hour ride.
• 1:19:38
  Yeah.
• 1:19:39
  Yeah.
• 1:19:39
  Yeah.
• 1:19:40
  That I think narrowing it down and having
• 1:19:41
  it on a deck of
• 1:19:42
  playing cards is important
• 1:19:43
  to us to have that dual purpose.
• 1:19:45
  At least to start.
• 1:19:46
  Like all our future expansion packs
• 1:19:48
  aren't going to be 52 cards.
• 1:19:49
  You don't need that many exit cards.
• 1:19:51
  Right.
• 1:19:52
  So, but the first product was important
• 1:19:53
  to us to have dual purpose.
• 1:19:56
  And so like, yes, it was
• 1:19:58
  intended to be on the radio.
• 1:19:59
  Yes, it was intended to play cards, but
• 1:20:02
  we've also just seen it.
• 1:20:03
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:20:03
  You don't have to be on the radio.
• 1:20:06
  These aren't radio questions.
• 1:20:07
  That's right.
• 1:20:08
  That's right.
• 1:20:09
  Just over, over the
• 1:20:10
  campfire, we've seen it as well.
• 1:20:12
  You know, just to
• 1:20:13
  spark some conversation.
• 1:20:15
  Here's a perfect one.
• 1:20:15
  I'm sorry to interrupt,
• 1:20:16
  but here's a perfect one.
• 1:20:17
  I love why I was
• 1:20:18
  thinking about sex and a Jeep.
• 1:20:20
  What other hobbies or activities have you
• 1:20:22
  incorporated in your travels?
• 1:20:24
  You started laughing right away.
• 1:20:26
  You worked so much on this.
• 1:20:27
  You knew this
• 1:20:27
  question that I was reading.
• 1:20:29
  Absolutely.
• 1:20:30
  Yeah.
• 1:20:31
  Here's another one.
• 1:20:33
  What is your favorite camp meal?
• 1:20:35
  Oh, bacon and anything breakfast related,
• 1:20:37
  you know, it just why
• 1:20:39
  does it taste so much
• 1:20:39
  better when you're,
• 1:20:40
  when you're camping out?
• 1:20:42
  I mean, you pretty much have to cook over
• 1:20:44
  an open fire though,
• 1:20:45
  not necessarily propane.
• 1:20:46
  It still tastes better though.
• 1:20:47
  Yeah.
• 1:20:48
  Oh, what has been
• 1:20:49
  your favorite adventure?
• 1:20:52
  I'm just going to
• 1:20:53
  read a couple more here.
• 1:20:54
  What is your favorite road trip snack?
• 1:20:56
  Oh, great question.
• 1:20:58
  Are you familiar with Bucky's?
• 1:21:00
  I'm sure you know about Bucky's, but
• 1:21:01
  maybe not have gone to one.
• 1:21:04
  Um, yes, we, they're,
• 1:21:06
  they're not up here, right?
• 1:21:07
  They're down, they're moving down south.
• 1:21:09
  Correct.
• 1:21:09
  If you get down south, you have to go to
• 1:21:11
  Bucky's because the,
• 1:21:12
  what is your favorite
• 1:21:14
  road trip snack would be Beaver Nuggets.
• 1:21:17
  It's not what you think.
• 1:21:21
  It's actually very good.
• 1:21:23
  Uh, it's, it's so funny.
• 1:21:24
  A lot of people
• 1:21:24
  didn't know about Bucky's.
• 1:21:26
  And then when we had our Jeep talk show,
• 1:21:27
  Texas event, uh, I
• 1:21:29
  had, we had talked about
• 1:21:30
  Beaver Nuggets and people that were
• 1:21:32
  coming in from out of
• 1:21:32
  state were stopping at
• 1:21:33
  Bucky's and buying Beaver Nuggets.
• 1:21:36
  And they found that he was in June.
• 1:21:38
  So they found that if they left the bag
• 1:21:39
  of Beaver Nuggets on the dash, that the,
• 1:21:42
  the Texas sun would warm them up and they
• 1:21:44
  gave it a whole nother flavor, uh,
• 1:21:46
  toasted or bigger
• 1:21:47
  nuggets, naturally toasted.
• 1:21:49
  Uh, oh, here we go.
• 1:21:51
  What rig upgrade do you regret?
• 1:21:53
  Oh, I think we've asked this on the show
• 1:21:55
  during our, whatever round tables.
• 1:21:56
  Yeah.
• 1:21:57
  So these are, these are really cool.
• 1:21:58
  I love how you instantly
• 1:21:59
  recognize the, the question.
• 1:22:02
  Cause this is a lot of
• 1:22:03
  question and no 52 of them.
• 1:22:05
  So you've done a lot of work on this.
• 1:22:06
  Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:22:08
  And, and so, you know, my, my wife has
• 1:22:11
  been the brain behind like the actual
• 1:22:12
  products, what they look like, really
• 1:22:14
  managing the questions.
• 1:22:16
  And I do a lot of the managing, like the
• 1:22:18
  business, the operations, the reaching
• 1:22:20
  out to wholesalers, managing the social
• 1:22:22
  media, like the business behind the
• 1:22:24
  scenes type stuff.
• 1:22:25
  And, and so because of like the social
• 1:22:27
  media, I've read these questions so many
• 1:22:30
  times and I post the
• 1:22:32
  questions and things like that.
• 1:22:34
  So I got them.
• 1:22:36
  I don't know that I could repeat them all
• 1:22:37
  off, but I know them all.
• 1:22:39
  So there's the
• 1:22:39
  playing cards aspect of it.
• 1:22:42
  So you can, uh, um,
• 1:22:43
  play a game of go fish.
• 1:22:47
  I'm thinking of a card game that, uh, you
• 1:22:49
  would have to know the answer to the
• 1:22:51
  question, but I don't know how you would
• 1:22:53
  determine if it was the correct,
• 1:22:54
  because these are kind of
• 1:22:55
  opinion questions anyway.
• 1:22:57
  Yeah.
• 1:22:58
  So, uh, the, the, oh,
• 1:23:00
  let me ask you this.
• 1:23:01
  Now I know how irritating it can, it can
• 1:23:04
  be whenever you have a radio set up,
• 1:23:07
  even a GMRS, cause this
• 1:23:08
  isn't actually just GMRS.
• 1:23:09
  It has a, a GMRS, a microphone, uh, to a
• 1:23:13
  Midland on here, but you can use it on
• 1:23:14
  anything.
• 1:23:15
  Uh, I mean, if you're a police officer
• 1:23:17
  and you're bored and
• 1:23:19
  you're looking for an
• 1:23:20
  extended leave, uh, from your, uh, from
• 1:23:22
  your job, uh, but any, anything that
• 1:23:24
  you're doing, uh, but I can also see how
• 1:23:27
  that people may not want to hear chatter
• 1:23:31
  on their radio.
• 1:23:32
  Is do you guys do anything as far as, uh,
• 1:23:35
  I didn't see anything in the, in the
• 1:23:37
  paperwork that came with the cards.
• 1:23:39
  Do you guys have any suggestions for, or
• 1:23:41
  just feel your audience as far as, you
• 1:23:44
  know, whenever you
• 1:23:44
  hear, would you shut up?
• 1:23:45
  That would be
• 1:23:46
  probably too much questions.
• 1:23:48
  Yeah.
• 1:23:49
  And so, yeah, you're right.
• 1:23:51
  We did not give any, any advice when we
• 1:23:53
  are on trips, we kind
• 1:23:55
  of gauge the audience
• 1:23:56
  and we try not to just rapid fire.
• 1:23:58
  There's a long pause.
• 1:24:01
  Yeah.
• 1:24:02
  If people aren't answering now, you bring
• 1:24:05
  up a great point because so we were on a
• 1:24:08
  trip where we were piloting in it.
• 1:24:10
  We, we brought the questions on a couple
• 1:24:11
  of trips to get people's feedback and we
• 1:24:13
  had someone, uh, his name is Chad.
• 1:24:16
  And he was, he had spent his whole time
• 1:24:19
  in the military and he was very used to
• 1:24:23
  the radio was for emergency and critical
• 1:24:26
  information sharing only.
• 1:24:28
  And, and so he shared with us, like it
• 1:24:30
  was difficult
• 1:24:31
  originally to, to kind of get,
• 1:24:36
  get over that if you will.
• 1:24:37
  And he did not share on the radio.
• 1:24:39
  And so we were talking to him and he
• 1:24:40
  said, I didn't mind it, but I kept the
• 1:24:43
  conversation inside the vehicle with my
• 1:24:46
  partner and, uh, he enjoyed it, but it
• 1:24:49
  took some time.
• 1:24:50
  Right.
• 1:24:50
  Well, the military
• 1:24:51
  will beat that into you.
• 1:24:52
  So it, it's understandable.
• 1:24:54
  So, uh, also to, I would mention, and,
• 1:24:56
  and, and if you're a,
• 1:24:58
  uh, a recent GMRS owner,
• 1:25:00
  or maybe you've had it for a couple of
• 1:25:01
  years and you really even, haven't even
• 1:25:03
  used it, it sits in your Jeep or any
• 1:25:05
  other vehicle that you may have.
• 1:25:07
  And it just kind of sits there and you
• 1:25:08
  go, wow, it was fun buying this.
• 1:25:11
  It was fun installing it.
• 1:25:12
  It was fun, uh, getting it all set up so
• 1:25:15
  that I could use it, but I don't really
• 1:25:17
  have anything to say, so I could kind of
• 1:25:19
  see this as a, as a way that if you're
• 1:25:22
  not, uh, if you're not naturally
• 1:25:25
  talkative, I come up
• 1:25:26
  with all kinds of crap.
• 1:25:27
  So I could always come up with something.
• 1:25:29
  Uh, but if you're not that way, this
• 1:25:31
  gives you an opportunity and I'm just
• 1:25:33
  going to say it to play with that radio
• 1:25:35
  because you know, we don't want to play
• 1:25:37
  with it.
• 1:25:38
  That's why people back on the CB days
• 1:25:40
  wanted to do, you know, what time is it?
• 1:25:41
  And let me get a radio check.
• 1:25:43
  So, uh, this is a great way to use it.
• 1:25:46
  And you get to learn the radio, uh, the,
• 1:25:49
  the, how, what kind of distance you get
• 1:25:51
  out of the radio and, uh, you just get,
• 1:25:53
  it's a good exercise on how to use the
• 1:25:56
  radio.
• 1:25:57
  Absolutely.
• 1:25:58
  And, and you know, like it's, it's funny,
• 1:26:00
  like you're driving down the road and
• 1:26:02
  you'll see, you know, somebody else with
• 1:26:04
  a rig that you're
• 1:26:05
  like, Oh, I wish I could
• 1:26:06
  talk to them.
• 1:26:07
  And so we, we included these stickers and
• 1:26:09
  you can see it says channel 22.
• 1:26:11
  Now we put 22 there specifically, cause
• 1:26:14
  that was the year we came up with the
• 1:26:16
  idea, but also 22 is in the band that
• 1:26:18
  gets you a good, a decent range.
• 1:26:20
  And so, um, we, we did this and the hope
• 1:26:23
  is that you could see this on somebody's
• 1:26:25
  vehicle and know that they they're on 22.
• 1:26:29
  Um, and, and so you could, if you saw
• 1:26:32
  this sticker driving down the road, you
• 1:26:33
  jump on 22 and you know, that other
• 1:26:35
  person is familiar with the product.
• 1:26:36
  And maybe you can start off a
• 1:26:37
  conversation with a random stranger, you
• 1:26:39
  know, on the road.
• 1:26:41
  So that's kind of the
• 1:26:42
  hope as we get started.
• 1:26:43
  Whenever I first got on CB, I was like 16
• 1:26:45
  years old and it was fun just talking to
• 1:26:48
  random people.
• 1:26:49
  And I remember making a joke that you
• 1:26:51
  could do the same thing with the
• 1:26:52
  telephone, but in, and I don't know if
• 1:26:54
  you remember telephone books, but you
• 1:26:56
  could do the same thing
• 1:26:57
  with the telephone book.
• 1:26:58
  And I thought how, how funny that would
• 1:27:00
  be where you just
• 1:27:00
  look up a random person.
• 1:27:01
  You call them and go,
• 1:27:02
  Hey, my name's Tony.
• 1:27:04
  I just, well, you got, you
• 1:27:05
  got, it's not time to talk.
• 1:27:06
  It was kind of like what you did on CB
• 1:27:07
  and the same thing on GM or S like what
• 1:27:09
  you're talking about.
• 1:27:10
  Of course I never did, did do that.
• 1:27:12
  And of course you can't do it these days
• 1:27:14
  because there's color ID.
• 1:27:15
  Uh, but it was, it's
• 1:27:17
  kind of that neat thing.
• 1:27:19
  You have something that transmits and,
• 1:27:21
  uh, and you want to transmit and talk to
• 1:27:23
  somebody, but how do you do it?
• 1:27:25
  So I think this is a
• 1:27:26
  great way of doing it.
• 1:27:28
  Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:27:29
  22 needs to be a lot bigger on the, on
• 1:27:32
  the, on the, on the foot.
• 1:27:35
  Yeah, that is, that's actually on our,
• 1:27:37
  our like plans to, to print out kind of
• 1:27:40
  like bigger ones that says like I
• 1:27:41
  monitoring, and then we'll pick a couple
• 1:27:43
  of the common channels.
• 1:27:45
  Oh, that's a great idea.
• 1:27:46
  And then people would know, right?
• 1:27:48
  So that's, that's on the list too, of all
• 1:27:49
  the things that have kind of spurred
• 1:27:51
  based on these conversations are like,
• 1:27:53
  okay, we need to do this.
• 1:27:54
  We need to do this.
• 1:27:54
  And like, how do we just
• 1:27:55
  keep building that community?
• 1:27:57
  Uh, cause you spent so much time on like
• 1:28:00
  pavement, getting to
• 1:28:01
  where you want to go.
• 1:28:03
  Let's try to extend that
• 1:28:04
  time out and building community.
• 1:28:07
  So, uh, is there anything interesting or
• 1:28:09
  unforeseen that has happened, uh, with
• 1:28:12
  these, uh, using these
• 1:28:13
  radio chatter, uh, game cards?
• 1:28:17
  Yeah.
• 1:28:17
  Oh man.
• 1:28:18
  Let's see here.
• 1:28:19
  Um, I mean, from a fraud, not necessarily
• 1:28:23
  from a question perspective, but, um,
• 1:28:26
  I'm thinking somebody getting pissed off
• 1:28:28
  or coming on telling you guys to shut up
• 1:28:31
  or, you know, so we
• 1:28:33
  haven't had any of that.
• 1:28:34
  And I mean, we've played, like we played,
• 1:28:36
  um, we were at windrock and
• 1:28:38
  we were doing it at windrock.
• 1:28:40
  Um, we had to switch channels a few times
• 1:28:42
  just cause you're
• 1:28:42
  stepping on other people,
• 1:28:44
  but we had no one like jump in and
• 1:28:46
  complain or anything.
• 1:28:48
  There's another way you can handle that.
• 1:28:49
  If you've got a 50 watt radio, just turn
• 1:28:51
  it all the way up and keep talking.
• 1:28:55
  I'm being a turd.
• 1:28:58
  Yeah.
• 1:28:59
  But I like, so nothing
• 1:29:01
  like, uh, nothing like that.
• 1:29:02
  It's just a lot of, uh, a lot of people
• 1:29:04
  would like to see these at like their
• 1:29:06
  local meetups and things like that.
• 1:29:08
  There's meetups all over the country.
• 1:29:11
  Um, and so we've had a lot of people
• 1:29:13
  reach out to try to sponsor or be a part
• 1:29:16
  of their meetups and send
• 1:29:17
  products and things like that.
• 1:29:18
  So that's been learning about all the
• 1:29:20
  different meetups around the country has
• 1:29:22
  been interesting where we were just
• 1:29:24
  thinking we just kind of sell it from our
• 1:29:25
  vehicle on trips and on our website.
• 1:29:28
  We've had a lot of people like organizing
• 1:29:30
  groups reach out to us, which is.
• 1:29:32
  So that, that, uh, and this is something
• 1:29:34
  you may have already thought of, but I
• 1:29:35
  don't know how much it costs you to do a
• 1:29:37
  run on these things, but have you
• 1:29:39
  thought about making one for, you
• 1:29:41
  mentioned wind rock, uh, whatever the
• 1:29:42
  event is or the, the, the location.
• 1:29:45
  Are you guys going to
• 1:29:45
  be an EJS this year?
• 1:29:48
  Uh, damn it, man.
• 1:29:50
  No, not that we're planning.
• 1:29:53
  So, I mean, like for that exact, for
• 1:29:54
  example, Easter Jeep Safari 2024.
• 1:29:57
  So it almost becomes like a collectibles
• 1:29:59
  thing, uh, where you can have a
• 1:30:00
  pack for various places.
• 1:30:02
  Uh, and yeah, so, and I was thinking, uh,
• 1:30:05
  did you guys go to a, uh, what is it?
• 1:30:07
  The Smokey mountain Jeep invasion.
• 1:30:10
  So none of the Jeep events
• 1:30:12
  because of the lack of a Jeep.
• 1:30:14
  We've been, dude, you're
• 1:30:15
  making mega money with this.
• 1:30:17
  You could buy you a Jeep.
• 1:30:20
  Yeah.
• 1:30:21
  I, I wish that was the case.
• 1:30:22
  We unfortunately both still have normal
• 1:30:24
  day jobs to pay the bills.
• 1:30:27
  So that time off is the, so
• 1:30:29
  you're saying you have money.
• 1:30:31
  It's just a choice not to buy
• 1:30:32
  a Jeep is what we're saying.
• 1:30:33
  The product is still very new, but if
• 1:30:37
  people want to get on an order and
• 1:30:38
  help pay for all of our trips, we will be
• 1:30:41
  as many as many as this is negative.
• 1:30:45
  And that's because you don't have a Jeep.
• 1:30:49
  Yeah, it could be.
• 1:30:50
  So tell me what, what
• 1:30:52
  is it that you drive?
• 1:30:53
  You said a Chevrolet earlier, what is it?
• 1:30:55
  Is a pickup or something else?
• 1:30:58
  Yep.
• 1:30:58
  I got a Colorado ZR2.
• 1:31:00
  So it's the pickup.
• 1:31:01
  Um, and so, you know, we, we've been big
• 1:31:05
  into like camping and
• 1:31:07
  backpacking and that
• 1:31:08
  kind of stuff for you.
• 1:31:09
  You got a lot more storage, you got a lot
• 1:31:10
  more, a lot more area to
• 1:31:11
  cover, uh, to carry things.
• 1:31:13
  Yeah.
• 1:31:14
  Yeah.
• 1:31:14
  We just wanted something different.
• 1:31:15
  And, um, I like the ZR2, um, one, because
• 1:31:20
  I do work for general motors.
• 1:31:21
  That is my day job.
• 1:31:23
  So that helps, but it's, it was factory
• 1:31:25
  capable so I could just grab it and
• 1:31:27
  continue what I was doing, but just go
• 1:31:29
  deeper into the woods.
• 1:31:30
  And so that's, that was the platform that
• 1:31:32
  we started with and we've been
• 1:31:33
  building.
• 1:31:34
  What have you done to it?
• 1:31:36
  Yeah.
• 1:31:36
  The biggest thing.
• 1:31:37
  So it's still mostly stock from a
• 1:31:40
  performance, uh, and
• 1:31:42
  all that perspective.
• 1:31:43
  I did relocate the shocks.
• 1:31:45
  If anyone's familiar with the 2018 to
• 1:31:48
  2023 models, the R2, the suspension,
• 1:31:51
  the rear shocks, although they're,
• 1:31:53
  they're really good suspension, they
• 1:31:55
  were two inches below the rear diff.
• 1:31:57
  They were just in a bad place.
• 1:31:58
  So I was hitting them all the time.
• 1:32:00
  Now that now Jim's fixed that in the 2023
• 1:32:03
  model and beyond, they relocated them
• 1:32:05
  upwards. Um, I did that with an
• 1:32:07
  aftermarket part to move them up out of
• 1:32:09
  the way, which has been awesome.
• 1:32:10
  Did you have to cut and weld to get them
• 1:32:12
  to get the hang down the brackets?
• 1:32:14
  Yeah, correct.
• 1:32:15
  Yup.
• 1:32:16
  So I bought the bracket off
• 1:32:17
  a company that's making them.
• 1:32:18
  And then a friend of mine is a really
• 1:32:21
  good welder does a lot of custom, uh,
• 1:32:23
  drag racing type stuff.
• 1:32:24
  So I figured if anyone can get
• 1:32:25
  this done right, it'd be him.
• 1:32:27
  So when you gain 20
• 1:32:28
  horsepower, which was cool.
• 1:32:30
  That's right.
• 1:32:30
  Just by doing that, that's right.
• 1:32:32
  Less drag.
• 1:32:33
  So yeah, I mean, so that's been like
• 1:32:36
  great, great confidence for me, great
• 1:32:37
  confidence for my wife when she drives
• 1:32:39
  that there's less to get hung up on.
• 1:32:41
  Um, but really the big, the biggest thing
• 1:32:43
  is we have a alu cab,
• 1:32:45
  canopy camper on the back.
• 1:32:46
  Um, that's, that's our thing.
• 1:32:48
  It's our, it's our
• 1:32:48
  mobile arts, our mobile home.
• 1:32:50
  So, um, that's been the biggest change.
• 1:32:52
  So some heavier duty leaf springs and
• 1:32:55
  stuff because of the weight.
• 1:32:56
  But other than that, it's, it's still,
• 1:32:58
  I don't have it here, but I was, I was
• 1:33:00
  going to show it, uh, the,
• 1:33:02
  the little paper that you guys include
• 1:33:04
  actually has a picture of,
• 1:33:05
  I believe that that vehicle
• 1:33:06
  that you're just describing.
• 1:33:08
  And it has a, for mine, it had a
• 1:33:10
  handwritten, uh, Tony,
• 1:33:12
  somebody had actually written Tony.
• 1:33:14
  I can't remember if the end will end was
• 1:33:15
  backwards or not, but in my head,
• 1:33:17
  I saw it backwards.
• 1:33:17
  It's still a little dyslexic from, from
• 1:33:19
  when I was young, but that was, uh, your,
• 1:33:21
  your son that, that wrote that.
• 1:33:23
  Tell me about that.
• 1:33:24
  Tell the audience about that.
• 1:33:25
  Cause I think that's a cool idea.
• 1:33:28
  Yeah.
• 1:33:29
  So it started with just me writing notes
• 1:33:31
  as a thank you to everybody.
• 1:33:33
  Um, and I was listening to a podcast
• 1:33:36
  about how to balancing running your own
• 1:33:38
  business with kids, because
• 1:33:40
  it's a, it's a common thing.
• 1:33:41
  I have to work on this in the evening.
• 1:33:42
  Cause like I said, we have our gay jobs
• 1:33:44
  and I always felt like I was taking
• 1:33:45
  time away from the family.
• 1:33:47
  Um, and this podcast said, engage your
• 1:33:49
  kids in the business, have them make
• 1:33:52
  marketing material, whatever.
• 1:33:53
  I was like, okay, he
• 1:33:54
  needs to practice his writing.
• 1:33:55
  He's five years old.
• 1:33:56
  There you go. And that's his big comma that is massive.
• 1:34:01
  Uh, so I said, I'm going to, he needs to
• 1:34:03
  practice his handwriting.
• 1:34:04
  I'm going to have him address each of
• 1:34:05
  these practices, handwriting, and
• 1:34:07
  we'll pay him, uh, 50 cents.
• 1:34:09
  You can continue to live here.
• 1:34:11
  Has to go to the bank.
• 1:34:12
  Yeah, that's right.
• 1:34:13
  So it's like, it's
• 1:34:14
  teaching him handwriting.
• 1:34:15
  He's engaged.
• 1:34:17
  He's putting money in the bank.
• 1:34:18
  So that's what he's doing.
• 1:34:19
  He'll remember this, that, you know, I
• 1:34:20
  was part of this business and the, and
• 1:34:22
  the confidence level that, you know, you wanted him to be part of it is, is
• 1:34:24
  great.
• 1:34:25
  Is that the, the only child?
• 1:34:27
  Yeah.
• 1:34:29
  Well, if I asked you why she says, well,
• 1:34:31
  this is the two, I know how it works.
• 1:34:33
  Yeah, that's right.
• 1:34:36
  That is really cool.
• 1:34:37
  And I noticed that right away.
• 1:34:38
  Uh, and I don't normally notice these
• 1:34:40
  things because it's reading and reading
• 1:34:43
  is bad, I don't like reading, but I
• 1:34:46
  noticed that and I went, Oh, and I, and
• 1:34:48
  like I told you before we started
• 1:34:49
  recording, I was concerned it might've
• 1:34:51
  been somebody with a traumatic brain injury, which was a very, very, very
• 1:34:53
  painful brain injury, which would be
• 1:34:54
  equally, uh, uh, honoring, uh, very
• 1:34:57
  honorable that, uh, I was receiving that,
• 1:34:59
  but I was hoping it was a, just a
• 1:35:01
  child learning how to write.
• 1:35:02
  And it was really, really cute.
• 1:35:04
  Yeah.
• 1:35:04
  I mean, I think that anybody, even if you
• 1:35:06
  didn't have and had children, uh,
• 1:35:07
  was still like that because it's, uh,
• 1:35:09
  it's, it's very, very cool.
• 1:35:10
  And I love the story behind it.
• 1:35:12
  Yeah.
• 1:35:13
  Yeah.
• 1:35:13
  It's surprising.
• 1:35:14
  We've actually had several people reach
• 1:35:15
  out to us and, and post on social
• 1:35:18
  media, that picture, not just the
• 1:35:20
  product, but they, they love, you know,
• 1:35:22
  engagement.
• 1:35:23
  So that's been fun.
• 1:35:24
  Yeah. It makes people feel a little more
• 1:35:25
  important than they probably deserve.
• 1:35:27
  So, uh, that's great.
• 1:35:29
  Absolutely great.
• 1:35:30
  So you mentioned marketing and stuff.
• 1:35:31
  What are you doing for marketing?
• 1:35:33
  Obviously you're doing a show that talks
• 1:35:35
  about off-roading and so on and so forth.
• 1:35:37
  Uh, but what else have you, have you been
• 1:35:39
  doing and tell me how frustrated you are?
• 1:35:43
  Yeah.
• 1:35:44
  It's so this is way, it's way more work
• 1:35:47
  than like you would
• 1:35:48
  expect for like a deck
• 1:35:50
  of cards.
• 1:35:51
  Um, but, but some of that too is because
• 1:35:53
  I want to build it and I want to learn
• 1:35:56
  what it's like to build a business.
• 1:35:58
  And so, um, but, uh, getting people to go
• 1:36:03
  to your website to buy a product is way
• 1:36:06
  harder than you would think.
• 1:36:07
  So much of it out there.
• 1:36:09
  Yeah.
• 1:36:10
  It's just, you know, like, and you, you,
• 1:36:12
  you buy stuff, like, I think we all buy
• 1:36:14
  things on Instagram and that pop up all
• 1:36:16
  the time, but it's hard.
• 1:36:18
  Like if you think about like, yeah, I
• 1:36:19
  bought things from Instagram, but how
• 1:36:21
  many things have I not bought that have
• 1:36:22
  been presented to me?
• 1:36:24
  Uh, and so that has been, I
• 1:36:27
  wouldn't call it frustrating.
• 1:36:27
  That's just the reality, but it's harder
• 1:36:30
  than what I thought.
• 1:36:32
  Um, but you know, other things that we've
• 1:36:34
  been doing, like I said,
• 1:36:35
  Midland's been a big partner.
• 1:36:37
  Um, we've been on their blog.
• 1:36:38
  Um, they wrote a blog article about us.
• 1:36:40
  Um, you'll see, we're going to be at the
• 1:36:43
  more expo, um, with Midland.
• 1:36:45
  We'll be in the Midland booth with them.
• 1:36:47
  Um, so that's super exciting to really be
• 1:36:49
  strengthening that relationship.
• 1:36:52
  Um, and then, um, we've been partnering a
• 1:36:54
  lot with, uh, uh, Northology,
• 1:36:57
  Cindy from Northology.
• 1:36:58
  She's over in this area, uh, run some
• 1:37:00
  local events, has an
• 1:37:02
  online, uh, magazine.
• 1:37:04
  Um, so we have like an advertisement in
• 1:37:06
  that we write an article
• 1:37:07
  every month in their magazine.
• 1:37:09
  Um, what we do is on their community
• 1:37:11
  Facebook page, we
• 1:37:12
  post one of the questions
• 1:37:13
  and we gather feedback.
• 1:37:15
  And each month I've been writing an
• 1:37:16
  article, including people's feedback,
• 1:37:18
  just to kind of engage the community.
• 1:37:20
  And regular posting, when you're posting
• 1:37:22
  to Instagram, uh, are you on Tik TOK?
• 1:37:25
  You got it.
• 1:37:26
  Uh, no, just Instagram, a little bit of
• 1:37:29
  Facebook, but it's mostly Instagram.
• 1:37:30
  I really liked the Instagram thing.
• 1:37:32
  I don't know if that's the best place to
• 1:37:33
  be, but I, but I do enjoy Instagram.
• 1:37:36
  I mean, it's, it's like being five years
• 1:37:37
  old again and just to get
• 1:37:39
  in a book with lots of pictures.
• 1:37:41
  You don't, that's right.
• 1:37:42
  Yeah.
• 1:37:42
  And that's, that's why I like it.
• 1:37:44
  The pictures.
• 1:37:44
  It's all about the pictures and the
• 1:37:46
  different events and
• 1:37:47
  things that we're doing.
• 1:37:47
  Okay.
• 1:37:48
  So we've talked about the, uh, the, uh,
• 1:37:50
  upcoming, uh, add-on packs that actually
• 1:37:53
  we didn't talk about that because it's
• 1:37:54
  not available yet and you don't want
• 1:37:56
  to put it out there,
• 1:37:58
  wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
• 1:37:59
  That's right.
• 1:38:00
  Uh, and, uh, so, uh, any other plans,
• 1:38:03
  maybe for other products, uh, along
• 1:38:05
  the same line, I guess it didn't have to
• 1:38:07
  be along the same lines.
• 1:38:10
  Yeah.
• 1:38:10
  So, um, we, we do.
• 1:38:12
  So our next, um, our next product will be
• 1:38:15
  another conversation related
• 1:38:17
  type game, uh, with
• 1:38:19
  different, different approach.
• 1:38:20
  Um, but we have some in the working, some
• 1:38:23
  other, um, I'll say card based
• 1:38:26
  games that are not conversation games,
• 1:38:29
  but for, for, for, like you saw, you
• 1:38:33
  read it in the cards, we referred to
• 1:38:34
  people as like adventures rather than
• 1:38:36
  off-roaders or overlanders.
• 1:38:37
  Yeah.
• 1:38:38
  Just call that one adventure.
• 1:38:39
  Right.
• 1:38:40
  Um, and so, so keeping in mind that we're
• 1:38:44
  all traveling in very packed
• 1:38:46
  vehicles to whatever event we're going to
• 1:38:48
  camping or, or, or a weekend event.
• 1:38:51
  Um, we're trying to keep things more
• 1:38:52
  card-based and compact rather
• 1:38:54
  than like a board game and, and to a lot
• 1:38:57
  of like board games and things like that.
• 1:39:00
  You may not, if you're playing them at
• 1:39:02
  home, you may not be in the same
• 1:39:03
  circle of the same people you go
• 1:39:05
  off-roading or overlanding with.
• 1:39:06
  So we want to kind of keep our games and
• 1:39:08
  stuff compact for the vehicle.
• 1:39:10
  So, um, we are working on, on some
• 1:39:12
  concepts, um, for other games.
• 1:39:14
  Like, you know, it
• 1:39:14
  just, uh, it just struck me.
• 1:39:16
  Um, uh, I don't know how, how close are
• 1:39:18
  you follow this stuff or not, but, uh,
• 1:39:20
  uh, Tesla has a full self-driving beta
• 1:39:23
  out and I, and I was just thinking that
• 1:39:26
  if you are, if you're not even driving
• 1:39:28
  the damn vehicle,
• 1:39:29
  what are you going to do?
• 1:39:32
  Other than stay awake.
• 1:39:35
  Yeah.
• 1:39:35
  So this, this is again, a great thing.
• 1:39:38
  This is like future proof.
• 1:39:40
  Yeah.
• 1:39:41
  So what's, so what's interesting about
• 1:39:42
  that comment, um, that was another
• 1:39:44
  feedback we got early on when we were
• 1:39:46
  piloting this and I had just a few
• 1:39:47
  prototype copies made, um, there was some
• 1:39:50
  people driving a long distance and the
• 1:39:52
  one got on a radio and was like, I'm
• 1:39:54
  getting tired, like say something to me.
• 1:39:57
  And, and then the other person goes,
• 1:39:59
  what, do you have that radio chatter?
• 1:40:01
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:40:01
  Well, just gave you busted, like busted
• 1:40:02
  out and they used it for like the next
• 1:40:05
  four or five hours and kept them awake
• 1:40:08
  all the way through their trip.
• 1:40:09
  Um, and they're like
• 1:40:10
  that worked perfectly.
• 1:40:12
  And I can imagine, and you didn't say
• 1:40:14
  this, but I can imagine the adult
• 1:40:16
  version would even be better.
• 1:40:20
  It could cause a few
• 1:40:22
  rest stop, uh, stops though.
• 1:40:25
  Okay.
• 1:40:27
  So, uh, nothing so far, nothing negative.
• 1:40:30
  Nobody's told you to shut the hell up.
• 1:40:32
  Uh, it can be used radio.
• 1:40:34
  And I would imagine around the campfire,
• 1:40:35
  uh, would be perfect
• 1:40:37
  thing at a card table.
• 1:40:39
  Uh, especially, oh, you could be playing
• 1:40:41
  cards at a card table and ask
• 1:40:44
  Ben, and if the, if, if it's fit, you
• 1:40:47
  could ask the questions that are on some
• 1:40:48
  of the cards, although I wouldn't play
• 1:40:50
  cards with you because you'd probably
• 1:40:51
  know their hand, that's right.
• 1:40:54
  You can't tell me I'll
• 1:40:55
  know exactly what you have.
• 1:40:56
  Oh, he's got a flush.
• 1:40:57
  Screw this.
• 1:40:59
  No, I wish I, I wish I
• 1:41:01
  was that much like rain man.
• 1:41:03
  I am not, I know the questions, but I
• 1:41:04
  probably don't know which I know a few.
• 1:41:07
  Uh, but I don't know exactly what, uh,
• 1:41:09
  so, so did you do anything with the
• 1:41:10
  questions where on, depending on the, uh,
• 1:41:13
  the, the, what is it, what did they call
• 1:41:14
  the, not the face, but the not the value,
• 1:41:17
  like ACE or your queen or king.
• 1:41:20
  Yeah.
• 1:41:21
  So we did not, um, we
• 1:41:24
  have, um, like there was, um,
• 1:41:27
  who would you want to
• 1:41:30
  take on a road trip with you?
• 1:41:32
  I wish I would have put
• 1:41:33
  that on the ACE of spades.
• 1:41:36
  Um, there are like, let's see here.
• 1:41:38
  No, we did have that.
• 1:41:39
  If you could go on a road trip with any
• 1:41:41
  famous person who would be,
• 1:41:42
  that was an accident.
• 1:41:44
  So I was thinking
• 1:41:44
  like, God, what's his name?
• 1:41:47
  I'm blanking on his name, the ACE of
• 1:41:48
  spades guy that sings that song.
• 1:41:50
  He says, uh, Lenny, uh, Lenny Kravitz.
• 1:41:54
  No, uh, Motorhead.
• 1:41:55
  So they have the song ACE of spades.
• 1:41:58
  And so I thought about him
• 1:42:00
  from the band Motorhead, but, um,
• 1:42:02
  other than that, it's kind of cool.
• 1:42:05
  Uh, that might actually be a cool thing
• 1:42:07
  to do blogs and stuff about, or maybe on
• 1:42:09
  your site, little trivia things about the
• 1:42:11
  cards, because somebody, you know,
• 1:42:13
  how people love trivia.
• 1:42:14
  They'd say, you know, the creator
• 1:42:16
  actually said that this question's on
• 1:42:18
  this card because of this.
• 1:42:19
  Yeah.
• 1:42:20
  Yeah.
• 1:42:20
  Yeah.
• 1:42:21
  Yeah.
• 1:42:21
  Yeah.
• 1:42:21
  I wish we were more on that, but there's, there's not a ton of
• 1:42:24
  things out the door is the big thing.
• 1:42:27
  Yeah.
• 1:42:27
  That's right.
• 1:42:28
  You got it.
• 1:42:29
  But some other games we're working on, we
• 1:42:31
  are putting a lot more thought into the
• 1:42:34
  purpose and the meaning behind it, um,
• 1:42:36
  for some of these
• 1:42:36
  other games that are not
• 1:42:38
  just conversation games.
• 1:42:39
  So, um, so we're really
• 1:42:41
  looking forward to those.
• 1:42:42
  So, uh, now are you, are you, are you, or
• 1:42:45
  do you have any interest in ham radio?
• 1:42:49
  Um, I have not been on ham radio myself.
• 1:42:51
  No.
• 1:42:52
  So I'm actually thinking that this would
• 1:42:54
  be boring as hell, but, uh, there are
• 1:42:56
  people ham radio operators that, that,
• 1:42:59
  that travel and they also go to ham radio
• 1:43:01
  conventions and stuff.
• 1:43:03
  And I'm thinking that if they're studying
• 1:43:04
  for a license, that it might, and this
• 1:43:07
  is kind of sucky because the FCC changes
• 1:43:09
  them, uh, ever so often, but, uh, the, I
• 1:43:12
  don't think they change dramatically, but
• 1:43:13
  it would be kind of cool if the, like a,
• 1:43:15
  the, for the general license that you
• 1:43:18
  could actually ask,
• 1:43:19
  uh, the, the questions.
• 1:43:21
  It's just a multiple guest test.
• 1:43:23
  So, you know, yeah, I guess I'll see you
• 1:43:25
  and you're probably going to pass.
• 1:43:28
  Yeah.
• 1:43:28
  So no, that's good.
• 1:43:29
  A learning, but a learning aspect of it,
• 1:43:31
  I guess is what I'm saying.
• 1:43:32
  I'm going to show ham
• 1:43:33
  radio with a learning aspect.
• 1:43:36
  Or maybe you're trying to pass the bar or
• 1:43:38
  you're trying to get
• 1:43:38
  your medical license.
• 1:43:41
  Yeah.
• 1:43:42
  No, I like that.
• 1:43:43
  We, we had someone reach out that, that
• 1:43:45
  does ham radio and they're like, Oh, this
• 1:43:46
  might be fun, you know, with ham radio.
• 1:43:48
  I haven't heard back from them if they've
• 1:43:50
  used it on ham radio,
• 1:43:51
  but I like that kind
• 1:43:52
  of study aspect because you could, you
• 1:43:54
  know, uh, learn from
• 1:43:56
  other people and study
• 1:43:57
  on the questions and, and you can see,
• 1:43:59
  and you can switch to the fun ones too.
• 1:44:01
  It doesn't have to be a
• 1:44:02
  whole trip of questions.
• 1:44:03
  Uh, here's one that you could do, uh, on
• 1:44:06
  75 meters, when the old man's talking
• 1:44:08
  about his illness, what is the most
• 1:44:10
  common illness that he has?
• 1:44:13
  Okay. I'll let hammer you
• 1:44:14
  operators will get that joke.
• 1:44:17
  Yeah.
• 1:44:18
  There's a lot of very old people on, uh,
• 1:44:20
  on 75 meters and they
• 1:44:22
  talk a lot about, uh,
• 1:44:23
  what they went to the
• 1:44:24
  doctor recently about.
• 1:44:27
  All right.
• 1:44:28
  So a very nerdy, a very nerdy joke.
• 1:44:31
  Uh, all righty.
• 1:44:32
  So, uh, there's, we're
• 1:44:33
  looking at other products.
• 1:44:34
  Uh, you've got this product that now, how
• 1:44:36
  do people go about getting this product?
• 1:44:38
  Which is people are going, Oh great.
• 1:44:40
  How to get it, Tony.
• 1:44:42
  Got me sold.
• 1:44:43
  Where did I go?
• 1:44:45
  Yeah.
• 1:44:45
  The, the easiest place is our website,
• 1:44:48
  which is radio chatter game.com.
• 1:44:51
  There is radio chatter game.com.
• 1:44:53
  That is the best place to get it.
• 1:44:54
  Um, we were on Facebook
• 1:44:56
  and Instagram, uh, market.
• 1:44:58
  We just closed that down because of
• 1:45:00
  problems with, uh, meta and their
• 1:45:02
  sales platform, but so our
• 1:45:03
  website, radio chatter game.com.
• 1:45:06
  Uh, we also have a couple wholesalers.
• 1:45:08
  If you're in Texas, CB adventure supply
• 1:45:10
  has, um, our product on hand.
• 1:45:13
  And then if you're out in
• 1:45:14
  the New Jersey area, okay.
• 1:45:15
  Four wheel drive also has our product.
• 1:45:18
  Um, and of course we're
• 1:45:19
  looking for more wholesalers.
• 1:45:21
  Like we, because we only have one product
• 1:45:23
  on our website, we are a small website.
• 1:45:25
  Like I said, it's hard to get people to
• 1:45:26
  go to a website for one product.
• 1:45:28
  We're looking for more wholesalers.
• 1:45:29
  So if, if anyone listening has a whole
• 1:45:32
  shop, uh, or an online store, we're more
• 1:45:36
  than happy to, um, get in contact and
• 1:45:39
  would love to see the product.
• 1:45:40
  Oh yeah.
• 1:45:40
  See here on your Instagram.
• 1:45:41
  Meta stores are closed and
• 1:45:43
  we are really happy about it.
• 1:45:45
  Now I'll just put
• 1:45:45
  that last part in there.
• 1:45:47
  Yeah.
• 1:45:48
  We tried it awful, unfortunately, and
• 1:45:52
  just not working and customers are
• 1:45:54
  not getting their product.
• 1:45:55
  Yeah.
• 1:45:55
  So, uh, have you, uh, have you looked
• 1:45:57
  into, uh, uh, Amazon?
• 1:46:00
  Yeah, we, we looked at it a little bit.
• 1:46:03
  Um, we were, we're technically on Etsy,
• 1:46:06
  but, um, that was more for like, if
• 1:46:07
  someone was looking for a gift for
• 1:46:09
  someone rather than
• 1:46:10
  our primary marketplace.
• 1:46:11
  Um, we did look on Amazon, but the other
• 1:46:13
  thing that we're going to be doing is we
• 1:46:16
  are launching a blog here soon on our
• 1:46:18
  website, which is centered around the
• 1:46:20
  questions, um, and we're going to have
• 1:46:22
  some guest bloggers that are actually
• 1:46:24
  working on some blog articles right now
• 1:46:26
  around the questions.
• 1:46:27
  And so trying to keep building that
• 1:46:29
  community, um, is kind of what we've
• 1:46:31
  been thinking so far, but
• 1:46:32
  haven't ruled out Amazon.
• 1:46:33
  So, uh, if, uh, now that we were
• 1:46:35
  recording this the day after I, um,
• 1:46:38
  actually we published the, uh, the round
• 1:46:41
  table episode today that we've recorded
• 1:46:42
  on Tuesday, I had sent you an email
• 1:46:44
  inviting you to come, uh, and, uh, before
• 1:46:47
  we started asking our questions, our
• 1:46:49
  regular questions, I pulled out the deck,
• 1:46:52
  showed the people and asked, uh, asked a
• 1:46:54
  question and got some answers.
• 1:46:55
  I figured forget what
• 1:46:56
  the question was now.
• 1:46:58
  Uh, but, uh, we, uh, we actually
• 1:47:00
  introduced your, your product to our, uh,
• 1:47:02
  our Jeep audience yesterday.
• 1:47:04
  Yeah.
• 1:47:04
  Awesome.
• 1:47:05
  No, no, no.
• 1:47:05
  It's, I think it's a great
• 1:47:06
  idea and happy to, uh, uh,
• 1:47:08
  to promote products.
• 1:47:09
  I was just noticing, uh, a different, uh,
• 1:47:12
  different subject here.
• 1:47:13
  Uh, I just, uh, recently I think, uh, uh,
• 1:47:16
  Jeep Daisy started following the Jeep
• 1:47:17
  talk show and we followed her back.
• 1:47:20
  I see that, uh, that's, I think that's
• 1:47:21
  your, your latest post.
• 1:47:23
  Uh, now is she with anybody?
• 1:47:25
  Is she with Midland or I mean,
• 1:47:28
  yeah.
• 1:47:29
  So we got connected to, uh,
• 1:47:31
  Jeep Daisy through Midland.
• 1:47:33
  Um, they connected us
• 1:47:34
  with a couple of their like,
• 1:47:36
  okay.
• 1:47:36
  So these are people they work with.
• 1:47:38
  Gotcha.
• 1:47:39
  Yeah.
• 1:47:39
  And so they connected us to April and
• 1:47:42
  said, Hey, we got this new product.
• 1:47:43
  If you're interested
• 1:47:44
  and she's been awesome.
• 1:47:46
  Um, like just helping support it.
• 1:47:48
  We, we sent her a product.
• 1:47:50
  Um, and, uh, she's really
• 1:47:51
  been helping get it out.
• 1:47:53
  And it looks like, uh,
• 1:47:54
  unlike you, she has a Jeep.
• 1:47:57
  That's correct.
• 1:47:58
  So that's probably why people like her
• 1:48:00
  posts more than mine.
• 1:48:02
  Yeah.
• 1:48:03
  That's it.
• 1:48:04
  Uh, y'all have to see
• 1:48:05
  about getting her on the show.
• 1:48:06
  If, uh, if you, uh, if you speak with her
• 1:48:08
  or communicate with her,
• 1:48:09
  let her know that, uh, we'd be interested
• 1:48:11
  to have her on the show.
• 1:48:12
  We do a, we do a women's centric episode
• 1:48:15
  called chick chat, uh, that, uh,
• 1:48:17
  that she might be good on or she, and she
• 1:48:20
  doesn't have to do that one.
• 1:48:21
  We can have her on here
• 1:48:22
  for a regular interview.
• 1:48:24
  Um, so, uh, yeah, so anyway,
• 1:48:25
  the Amazon, uh, the seller,
• 1:48:27
  I know it's like 40 bucks a month and you
• 1:48:29
  have to have a supply enough, uh, not
• 1:48:32
  supplies, but you have to have enough
• 1:48:33
  product there for them to send it out if
• 1:48:35
  that's what you choose.
• 1:48:36
  And I, and I've actually heard that if
• 1:48:37
  you don't keep enough product with them,
• 1:48:39
  uh, they will like lower your ranking as
• 1:48:41
  far as what they show on, on, in
• 1:48:44
  Amazon, you know, like, cause if you run
• 1:48:46
  out there, they want to,
• 1:48:47
  they want to encourage you to make sure
• 1:48:49
  you have product there because they're
• 1:48:50
  making, you know, making money off of it
• 1:48:52
  too. But, uh, but I,
• 1:48:54
  I could see Amazon being a great place,
• 1:48:56
  uh, for this, a great impulse, uh,
• 1:48:58
  purchase. Um, but,
• 1:48:59
  but, but then again, you,
• 1:49:02
  you aren't doing this for grins and
• 1:49:04
  giggles. You're doing
• 1:49:04
  it that actually try
• 1:49:05
  to make some profit. Uh,
• 1:49:07
  and, and, and to that point, uh,
• 1:49:08
  I didn't see it on your
• 1:49:09
  site. How much is this product?
• 1:49:12
  Yup. They're 20, $20 for the packet
• 1:49:14
  cards. And it's, they're very,
• 1:49:16
  they're nice thick cards,
• 1:49:18
  uh, quality cards in this case,
• 1:49:20
  if I can get it open, uh,
• 1:49:22
  it's a very nice thick case.
• 1:49:23
  Where did you get this
• 1:49:24
  case? Did you have this made or?
• 1:49:26
  Yup. This is straight from our
• 1:49:28
  manufacturer. We, we did, we, we,
• 1:49:31
  we tried out the normal,
• 1:49:33
  you know, cardboard case, um,
• 1:49:35
  and then we said we had
• 1:49:36
  to do this because it,
• 1:49:37
  we want people to keep this
• 1:49:38
  in the cab of their vehicle.
• 1:49:40
  We know it's going to be
• 1:49:40
  thrown around. Like you said,
• 1:49:42
  it's a little tough to get
• 1:49:43
  open. That's what we wanted. Um,
• 1:49:45
  their casino quality cards, they're not
• 1:49:47
  the like rigid, they're smooth, right?
• 1:49:49
  So like if you can see, you know,
• 1:49:51
  sometimes they, they have the, the, uh,
• 1:49:54
  the kind of rigidity feel we tried both,
• 1:49:56
  but we were worried
• 1:49:57
  dirty hands from driving.
• 1:49:58
  We're going to make the cards
• 1:49:59
  dirty. So the casino smooth.
• 1:50:03
  So they're, yeah,
• 1:50:04
  they're, they're, they're,
• 1:50:05
  the whole thing is, is very last. We want
• 1:50:07
  the case to last. So that was,
• 1:50:09
  that was all purposeful for, for the
• 1:50:11
  product that we wanted to, okay.
• 1:50:13
  Radio chatter game.com. Uh,
• 1:50:16
  just go over there now and have a look at
• 1:50:18
  this stuff and a place and order 20
• 1:50:20
  bucks. My God, even if you don't use it
• 1:50:22
  immediately, you'll be driving,
• 1:50:24
  you're going to be bored. Uh,
• 1:50:26
  somebody's going to be complaining about
• 1:50:28
  the drive and I, I need to stop.
• 1:50:30
  I need to go to the bathroom. Hey, let's
• 1:50:33
  get those radio chatter cards out.
• 1:50:36
  See if you can just see if you can get
• 1:50:37
  your mind on something else.
• 1:50:39
  And the questions aren't like knowledge
• 1:50:41
  questions at least from what I've seen.
• 1:50:44
  So anybody can answer and hell you might
• 1:50:47
  even want to play the game of,
• 1:50:48
  uh, come up with, uh, answers that are
• 1:50:51
  just off the wall, make no sense, uh,
• 1:50:53
  dance to these questions
• 1:50:54
  and get the laugh vest going.
• 1:50:57
  Yeah. And that's what we
• 1:50:59
  want people to do. There are,
• 1:51:00
  and actually the jokers
• 1:51:00
  on there are blank cards.
• 1:51:02
  We want people to make up their own to,
• 1:51:03
  um, send them to us.
• 1:51:05
  We might include them in
• 1:51:06
  a future pack, but yeah,
• 1:51:07
  we want people to change the question,
• 1:51:10
  um, alter, you know,
• 1:51:11
  like you can take the question a
• 1:51:13
  different direction. We,
• 1:51:14
  we've had many of those where we've had
• 1:51:16
  conversations and one question leads to
• 1:51:18
  20 minutes. We call that
• 1:51:20
  going down the rabbit hole here.
• 1:51:21
  That happens. That's
• 1:51:22
  right. Absolutely. Yeah.
• 1:51:25
  So this helps you get
• 1:51:26
  down that rabbit hole.
• 1:51:27
  It starts the digging. All right. So you
• 1:51:29
  know how the kids love the, uh,
• 1:51:30
  the social media these days, the
• 1:51:32
  pictures, the comments, oh,
• 1:51:34
  and the hateful comments. Got it.
• 1:51:35
  Just imagine how many hateful comments
• 1:51:37
  are out there on posts, but, uh,
• 1:51:39
  where are you guys on social media? We
• 1:51:41
  mentioned the Instagram.
• 1:51:43
  Yep. So we're on Instagram and Facebook,
• 1:51:46
  both radio chatter game. Uh,
• 1:51:48
  that's where you'll be all
• 1:51:49
  fine. We do have a YouTube.
• 1:51:50
  There's nothing out there yet. That's,
• 1:51:52
  that's kind of in the works,
• 1:51:53
  but right now we are, our focus is
• 1:51:55
  getting more product out there. Um,
• 1:51:57
  and try to give multiple different
• 1:51:59
  offerings of different games that you can
• 1:52:01
  take on. Well, you know, uh, we're trying
• 1:52:02
  to promote our YouTube.
• 1:52:04
  So once we get done with this interview
• 1:52:05
  and get it published,
• 1:52:06
  I'll be happy to send you over a link
• 1:52:08
  where you can just, uh,
• 1:52:10
  download the entire interview and you can
• 1:52:12
  post it up or clip, uh,
• 1:52:14
  clips or whatever you want to do on it.
• 1:52:15
  It might get you started on your YouTube
• 1:52:16
  because you are explaining about the
• 1:52:18
  cards here. So yeah, that'd be awesome.
• 1:52:22
  So yeah, we'll, we'll, we'll plan on
• 1:52:23
  doing that then. Uh,
• 1:52:24
  I like to do the shameless
• 1:52:25
  plug as much as possible.
• 1:52:28
  Hey, that's perfect. Hey, I'm
• 1:52:29
  willing to help do both ways.
• 1:52:32
  Excellent. All right. Well, uh, I hope
• 1:52:34
  you do a really well with this.
• 1:52:35
  I think you got a good idea and just
• 1:52:37
  getting the feedback
• 1:52:37
  on it that I mentioned
• 1:52:38
  earlier is so
• 1:52:39
  important. It is really, um, uh,
• 1:52:42
  I hate to use the term, but puts the,
• 1:52:44
  the wind under your wings to go and do
• 1:52:46
  more. And, uh, you never know,
• 1:52:48
  you never know when stuff like this comes
• 1:52:50
  up, what it's going to lead to. Uh,
• 1:52:52
  but yeah, I can absolutely
• 1:52:53
  see trivia questions for, uh,
• 1:52:55
  various vehicles or, uh, various things
• 1:52:59
  that people go and do. Oh, uh,
• 1:53:01
  and, uh, uh, cooking recipes or this
• 1:53:04
  cooking related stuff.
• 1:53:05
  I mean, anyway, there's all kinds of
• 1:53:07
  things you can do. Well, Paul,
• 1:53:09
  thank you so much for being with us
• 1:53:10
  tonight. Uh, what's your wife's name?
• 1:53:12
  Bethany. Yeah. Bethany.
• 1:53:14
  So we'll have to have Bethany on, uh, and
• 1:53:16
  see, uh, and we'll have to rate her.
• 1:53:18
  We'll have to let our audience rate on
• 1:53:20
  how much better she was doing the
• 1:53:21
  interview than you.
• 1:53:23
  I already know the
• 1:53:24
  answer, but that's perfect.
• 1:53:25
  And it's going to be a lie anyway, cause
• 1:53:26
  she's a woman and people are gonna,
• 1:53:28
  people always like the women better, but
• 1:53:30
  we're used to that, right?
• 1:53:32
  Yeah.
• 1:53:33
  All right, man. Have a
• 1:53:33
  great night. Thank you again.
• 1:53:36
  Thank you so much. Appreciate it.
• 1:53:38
  Hey, thanks again to
• 1:53:39
  Paul of radio chatter game.
• 1:53:42
  Visit the website right now, radio
• 1:53:43
  chatter game.com. You know,
• 1:53:45
  I've already packed my radio chatter game
• 1:53:48
  in the 2021 Jeep talk show gladiator
• 1:53:50
  for the 20 hour drive
• 1:53:52
  to Easter Jeep Safari.
• 1:53:55
  I'll probably be showing that around to
• 1:53:56
  people as I'm
• 1:53:57
  interviewing them out at EJS
• 1:54:00
  this year. So, uh, the,
• 1:54:02
  I will tell you that the little plastic
• 1:54:04
  box that the game comes in, uh, it's,
• 1:54:06
  it's like a pack of cards, uh, as you
• 1:54:08
  probably just heard on
• 1:54:09
  the, on the interview,
• 1:54:10
  but it's like a pack of cards and the
• 1:54:12
  plastic box is a very,
• 1:54:13
  very nice quality and the cards
• 1:54:15
  themselves are of great
• 1:54:16
  quality as well. So, uh,
• 1:54:18
  yeah, I think you'll enjoy it.
• 1:54:19
  I think it's a good safe
• 1:54:20
  purchase for a quality product.
• 1:54:24
  They come in up next week.
• 1:54:25
  Patrick of Borean good Lord.
• 1:54:27
  Patrick is going to bitch slap me while
• 1:54:29
  I'm at EJS and I get to meet him, uh,
• 1:54:31
  for not pronouncing that word right, but
• 1:54:33
  I'm not German dammit. Uh,
• 1:54:34
  and I can't pronounce
• 1:54:35
  anything anyway. So,
• 1:54:38
  the Borean is a German based company
• 1:54:40
  making lift kit, bead locks,
• 1:54:42
  and more.
• 1:54:43
  It was a fascinating conversation and
• 1:54:45
  just go to bo borean.com.
• 1:54:48
  Yeah, I'm gonna spell
• 1:54:49
  it B a W a R R I O N.
• 1:54:52
  Dot com.
• 1:54:56
  And that's a wrap for today's
• 1:54:57
  episode of the Jeep talk show.
• 1:54:58
  I want to give you a big thank you to our
• 1:55:00
  special guests for joining us today. Uh,
• 1:55:03
  it was, it was really a very
• 1:55:04
  interesting thing. I was just,
• 1:55:06
  and I'm sure you could tell, or you will
• 1:55:07
  be able to tell, uh, in the interview,
• 1:55:09
  I was just amazed at what they're able to
• 1:55:12
  do legally in Germany. You know,
• 1:55:13
  we, we will run bead locks
• 1:55:15
  here in the U S but, uh, in many,
• 1:55:17
  and there's an argument about this, but
• 1:55:18
  in many cases, uh, it's,
• 1:55:20
  it's not D O T approved. So, you know,
• 1:55:21
  this is to be driving it on
• 1:55:22
  the road. Not so in Germany. Hey,
• 1:55:25
  thanks again to G tops for sponsoring
• 1:55:28
  this episode of the Jeep talk show.
• 1:55:30

• 1:55:37
  Support the companies that support the
• 1:55:39
  show. You'd love the Jeep talk show.
• 1:55:41
  Meet me and the 2021 Jeep talk show
• 1:55:44
  gladiator at EJS 2024.
• 1:55:46
  And you can see the G tops in person.
• 1:55:49
  And I think that's really the only way
• 1:55:51
  you can do this because it's a little
• 1:55:53
  scary. You know, you, you take your
• 1:55:54
  freedom tops, you send them into G tops.
• 1:55:57
  Chris and his team will cut
• 1:55:59
  a big ass hole, excuse me,
• 1:56:01
  a big ass hole in it and a stick in one
• 1:56:03
  of these panels. They are,
• 1:56:04
  and then you don't know. I
• 1:56:05
  mean, you see pictures and stuff,
• 1:56:07
  but seeing in person makes a really big
• 1:56:09
  difference. I did to me, and I'm just
• 1:56:11
  really, really very lucky
• 1:56:12
  that Chris sent me some demo, uh,
• 1:56:15
  G top freedom panels for the gladiator.
• 1:56:17
  So I'll get the experience these while my
• 1:56:20
  wife and I are at Moab this year.
• 1:56:22
  So I'm really looking forward to it.
• 1:56:23
  It's going to add a new dimension, uh, to
• 1:56:26
  going off road. You know, it's,
• 1:56:27
  it's the topless, but with AC or heater,
• 1:56:31
  and you don't have to do anything other
• 1:56:33
  than just jump in the Jeep and go.
• 1:56:37

• 1:56:38
