  Speaker 1: My gosh every day because we get these you know,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: these updates basically I won't call him entertainment news kind
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: of fluffy you know, lifestyle stuff and so forth. But
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: every day it's just full of people way too young
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to be dying that are dying. And these are just
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the notable people, the you know, the pseudo celebrities, influencers, singers, actors,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: rappers I've never heard of before, but they have some
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: sort of popularity, some sort of notoriety that gets them aheadline.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: All these people done, you have to imagine how many
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: people we've never heard of or dying at the same age.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, Ethan Brown was something like that. A twenty
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: five year old influencer dead. Bike bike enthusiast, influencer dead.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: It's just crazy how many people are dying so young.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Are the national rates of you know, how old people
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: go in America men and women, has got to be
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: just going in the dumper. We went up for years,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: but I have a feeling that's going to come way
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: down just because of all these youthful deaths we see.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Has nothing to do with with COVID, by the way, nothing,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing to do with COVID. By the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: way A two number eight two n WUTV. And let's
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: get through some calls. Kirby on on gasoline prices. Kirby,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: how are you well?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: The first thing, gasolene is not a byproduct of the diesel.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: When you when you start distilling crude oil, all the
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: different components come off, and like with gasolene, you blend.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Then you blend four or five of these components together.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: And the reason winter blend is cheaper than summer blend
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: is because they can put more utane in it. And
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: that's why on a good warm winter day you don't
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: get good gas mileage because the view tane that rates
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: off quicker. Now with diesel, the reason diesel has got
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: so much expensive when I went worked through finery back
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: in twenty twelve, the level for sulfur, who's twenty to
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: twenty five percent, the EPA dropped that down to less
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: than ten percent, I believe now, So it takes a
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: lot more in the refinery to get all that sulfur out.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: And the sulfur who was in the diesel and made
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: it burn better like the lead used to make.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Gasoline burth better.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: You know what's funny about that is they want the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: diesel scrub did its origin. However, how many time you've
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: been behind something and not necessarily even a semi but
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: somebody who's got a you know, you got themselves a
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: three point fifty pickup or something like that with the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: big dual exhaust pipes coming back of the camp and
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: they're going at big, giant black clouds billowing out. So
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: we got to scrub it at the refinery. But I
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: don't is there is there a scrubbery requirement on the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: cars that are burning it, because they're still blowing a
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: lot of.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: A lot of times. When you see that black smoke
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: coming out of the big truck, it's because he's burning
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: agricultural diesel, which isn't actually being a shouldn't be allowed
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: on the road.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I see it out of everything. I mean, code of
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: buses before you know they started switching them over to
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: electric and pro paine. But I used to laugh about how,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you know, public transportation was supposed to cut down on
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: air pollution, and now I look at all the smoke
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: coming off of the back of that code.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, some of those engines are really poor at
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: burning diesels.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would I would never have one unless I
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: was driving a semi and I needed to haul like
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: two hundred tons behind me. I would never own a diesel,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: just as my you know, family transportation. I plus having
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: to plug them up in the winter. I always thought
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: that was crazy to keep the keep the fuel from
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: you know, gunking up on it.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: That's because diesel comes off just before your fuel oils
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: and all your heavier oils that you can burn. And
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: they also blend jet fuel in the diesel. If they
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: need more diesel, it's price of diesel goes a certain way.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: They can blend jet fuel into it too, because all
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: jet fuel is is the kerosene.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Oh man, and you let the oil business? How long
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: did you do that?
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I retired in twenty twenty twenty two, three years ago.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: I was one of the chemists in the in the lab.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: So have you been have you been watching that Landman
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: show I was talking.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: About, Uh yeah, in one episode I disagreed with but hey,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: it's it's Hollywood, so they have to do it.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Well that wait a minute, it came on. Tell me
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: what tell me? Because you've got practical experience, where'd you
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: find an error?
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Found an error that nobody would be using a metal
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: presst wrench on a pipe. Yeah, and in the refinery
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: everything has to be brass because you don't want any sparks.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: So that would never havecurred even almos Field, because they'd
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: have to have brass wrenches and no steel wrenches.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: See I'm no genius, but I actually thought, Okay, if
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: this is a common occurrence, why the heck don't they
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: have something that is insulated that they do use for
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: these instances that? Because that didn't make any.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Right it should be brass. And the other reason they
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: putting up windmills is because they used to run something
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: like a not jet fuel, but like kerosene and stuff
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: to run the pumps to keep the pumps running. So
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: now they're using like Christy instead of a pro pain
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: or a oil base.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Did you find did you find his little speech
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: about the cost to put one of those things up
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: not being able to carbon offset? Did that seem realistic
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to you? Oh?
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah. I have a friend that used to
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: haul windmills, and he used to drive. He used to
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: get like kein. His buddies would take three of those
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: fins and haula but they'd get like eighteen thousand dollars
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: alone for one fin.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, Oh Man, Kirby, call anytime, Man. I love
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: your expertise, especially since I'll probably be talking about Landman
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: a lot. I just I'm I'm obsessed with that show.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Mark told me I should watch and he was absolutely right.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Ed.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: You are on six WTV, and Hi, hey Chuck, thanks
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: for taking my call.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: I got two things real quick. One, I'd like to
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: give a shout out to my niece. She's a nurse
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: and a gentleman. Got in a wreck this afternoon around
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Doublin Mary's Girl Road and she administered CPR on him
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: and saved these alife.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Bless her heart.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Excellent, Yes, sir, Yeah, I'd just like to say that.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: And another thing, Brutus he needs the buck a sticker
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: put on his head for crossing out that And.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: That is an excellent idea.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Ed.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: We ought to petition to school to put a big
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: buckeye sticker on the back of Brutus's nut there.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, sir, that was so funny. That was
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: the best part of that game was when he did that.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And to be able to use your feet to
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: do script Ohio, that was impressive.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Yes, and it took you, yeah, and it took came
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: a couple of minutes to do that, you know, And yes,
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: that that was so funny. That was better than planning
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: a flag in the middle of their field.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: And I'm glad the Buckeye showed the class of not
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: getting revenge and trying to plan a flag there at
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the end that that spoke up. Yes, that spoke highly
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: of the way that that team is being run. We're
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: not even going to bother to do that. Ryan Day
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: went over to their coach and said, you can tell
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: your guys to go away. We're not doing something like that, right.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Yes he did. Yeah, I seen he was talking to him. Yeah,
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: that was that was good about coach Day.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Yep, all right, but you stay warm. I appreciate the
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: call out there eight two one nine eight six. My
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: number A two one WUTV and I can get through
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a couple of more here before we end the show. Jason,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: you are on six to ten WUTV and.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Hi, Hey, Chuck, go bucks beat. How are you?
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, hey, real quick follow up on the I
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: think two callers ago, the guy that said he was
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: a chemist for the fuel industry, Well, I'm a little
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: questioning of what how he was a chemist because he
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: was talking about when you when you reference seeing the
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: pickup trucks with the black diesel pouring out, and he
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: said they're burning agricultural diesel. That's not true today. Nowadays,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: there's no difference whatsoever between it's all considered ulsd ultralow
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: sul for diesel. I worked for the fuel industry as well,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: don't currently. But the only difference between the diesel that
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: you would buy at say sheets or speedway and what
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: you can get delivered to your farm. It's considered off
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: road diesel now. But it's the same ultralow sulfur diesel,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: but they put a dye in it. The red dye
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: doesn't make anything smoke or anything like that. It's for
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: tax purposes. It's so when our friendly state troopers pull
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: you over on the road and you've got one of
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: these pickup trucks, they can dip your tank and if
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: they see red dye a very minute amount, then you're
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: in big trouble. But it's the same diesel whether you're
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: burn it in an attractor today or a pickup truck today. Now,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: it was different fifteen twenty years ago. I'll give the
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: gentleman that, but it's all the same diesel.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Now, Jason, let me let me ask you this real quick,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: since you've been in the industry as well, why are
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: we still screwing around with ethanol? What at this point
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: have we not figured out we either need you know,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: we're burning corn.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Man, Well, that's a that's a rabbit, Hawaii. I don't
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: want to go down because I do have a farming
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: background too, and you don't want to. You know, you
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: can ruffle some farmers feathers because you know they it's
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: a good market for them to sell their grain.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know that we sell a lot of grain.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: We sell a lot of a lot of corn and
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: to produce it. But on the other hand, how many
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: acres do we have that farmers are paid to not
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: farm every year? You know, when the government gets involved,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: if they found a way to fix it one and
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: they'll find a new way to fix it. I just
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I think we'll get more damage to our vehicles and
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: than we're that it's really worth.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: No doubt. Ethanol is not good on small engines and
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: things like that, no doubt. But back to the diesel
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: thing real quick. You asked about it. Are there scrubbers
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: and things that you know, like we can put on
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: these pickups that you're seeing the black smoke, which they're
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: intentionally doing that that's they're they're they're they're tuning their
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: these diesels you can get massive horsepower out of and
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: that's what you're seeing is just your raw, unburned diesel.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: But they're may the government, speaking of our lover lovely government.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: But what they've done to to to these diesels making
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: us do tractors and trucks and everything is there there.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: There's things called LA filters. They're making us run another
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: fluid that's very corrosive and damaging to the environment called
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: DEAF or diesel exhaust fluid. It's it's all a bunch
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: of government data garbage that makes these trucks less efficient,
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: they can pull less. So yeah, it's you're right there.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: It's it's all government bs.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Now when they get involved, it always turns out to
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: be bs. Jason, I appreciate the call. Let's get data
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: in here real quick before we have to say goodbye. Data.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: You're on sixth Nable.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: Et V N Lioness and land Man. The guy the
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: guy who plays is that they heavy said geologists and
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: land Man and he lives with Billy, Bob Thornton and
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: their family.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm talking about you talked about the attorney.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: No, the geologist.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I've seen the white haired attorney, and
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I've seen the fat guy. Looks like he's working one
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: of the rigs, but I don't know.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: If I see that.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: Okay, Well, he also plays on lion as a CIA
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: assassin and he works with this group and they go
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: around and they take people out. I was told there

  Speaker 5: it's going to be one more season because they head
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: actress had only contractor for three years and this will
• 11:38

• 11:41
  Speaker 5: and well will be put out pobbing next year. Sometimes.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Well, since it's called Lioness, I'm assuming she's an essential
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: part of the show.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Yes she is.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: She's the head of this group who does the.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: All right. I was just thinking the other day, you know,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: as much as I hate remakes and derivative stuff, I'm
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: kind of wishing at this point, because we got all
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the various n CIS is like Law and Order, I'm
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: kind of wishing we'd have an n CIS movie because
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I want to Gibbs needs to go the right way,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: you know, what I mean.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well you can get the two scenes in the library. Yeah,
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: with the library. I look, that's where I got them at.

  Speaker 1: Oh okay, well that's good news too. I appreciate you, Dana,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Thanks very much already. What's that Dana's never been to
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: a library? Be nice to Dana man Oh. As usual,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: this hour goes way too quickly, but it is good
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: to be back. I'm still digesting the turkey. Hopefully we'll
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: be through that in the next couple of days, because
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: you know, the Christmas ham is right around the corner.
