Episode #054

[00:00:00] Thank you for joining us at the 18 wheel talk podcast show. We're a podcast helping truckers and travelers in the pursuit of a healthier, happier, and better way of life behind the wheel. In this week's episode, we're gonna talk about where we've been for the last four months, what we've been doing, why it took us so long to come back and where we're going. Now, we have so many exciting things happening. We hope you enjoy us being back as much as we do.

[00:00:50] I swear. What is wearing about baby you and your antics? I don't know what you're talking about. Hey, you taking a bit right. Left right [00:01:00] left, right? Howdy. Howdy. Howdy. Welcome to the show. Why? Thank you. Welcome to the 18 wheel talk pot cash show. Well is correct. What's that? We're up. That's when are we back?

[00:01:18] We're back. Welcome back. We've been gone. Two three, I think four months, four months. Was it five months, four months, five months, four months. I don't know. Four months. It's been a while we took a hiatus. Why? Um, well, because contrary to popular beliefs, I have a real job. Say it isn't so you have a job. I have a real job.

[00:01:49] Oh, I work for the man. I work for the man or the woo man. Yes, Virginia. He has a job. I have a real job, [00:02:00] unfortunately. And, uh, unfortunately cuz it pays some of the bills. Yeah. And most of them it, uh, They, they changed my days. So my, the hours that I work and then they also changed my days off. So that kind of messes put a wrinkle in things.

[00:02:20] Yeah. We had, everything was working real good on the schedule you were on. So now that you know, they kicked up a little bit of dust mm-hmm Janet decided to go into hyper drive and clean all the dust. That was fun. I like it because every day spring cleaning for her, I know isn't it fun? For you, maybe you can live in a really clean house.

[00:02:42] Well, I mean, I don't mind and it's comfy cozy. It's not like it's, it's a benefit. Yeah. It's not like it's a sterile hospital or something. No, but it's definitely a benefit. I like it. Imagine if we had three pugs and I didn't clean. Well, good. [00:03:00] Good, good news for you is, is, you know, the third pug planes. We, we now have a robotic pug.

[00:03:06] We got a, we got one of those robo vacs. I call it robo pug. Oh my God. The first time we ran it. Our two little pugs chased it around, barked at it, sniffed its butt. Like, like, what the hell are you? What are you doing? Well, and they sniff because it smells like them because it picked the hair up off the carpet.

[00:03:25] So they, it smells like a pug. So, so thus the name robo pug. And now they just ignore, it, runs into 'em if they're laying down and they look at it, like they sit right in its way. Like, go ahead. I dare to hit me. And it does. And they look at it like I'm not moving. So it goes around them. I didn't feel it. I didn't feel a thing didn't hurt.

[00:03:44] Run my toe over it. Didn't hurt mom. Yeah. So, yeah, it's funny. Oh, so anyway, so that we have a new addition and then on top of everything, we decided to do a [00:04:00] major upgrade to our, uh, studio studio equipment. Yes. And it needed it. Yeah. We had 10 year old laptops. I think mine was from 2005. Okay. So you're first, maybe it might have been, might, might have been older.

[00:04:18] I know mine or, uh, may, I mean like, like more like 2008, 2009 ish, but I, I, I believe my laptop was 2005 ish. It might not have been, no, my, my brain's a little fog. I know mine was about 10 years old. I bought it used. Uh, it's at least seven. We've been out here seven years. I know. Didn't you buy it just before we came out here and it was already old.

[00:04:48] I know, but did it wasn't that old? It was maybe a year old. About a year or two old then, so it's least. Oh, alright. Well, yeah, eight, eight to 10 years. Say eight to nine years. We'll say. [00:05:00] Anyways, yours was like bare bones though. And it was a bare bones computer. It was definitely not made for streaming. Mine was definitely when it was bought, it was a super duper, however, for its time for its time, it was back then it was a really good computer.

[00:05:13] So we decided to upgrade. So we got you a new laptop. Okay. Now let's see. I don't know if you can see it in there. There I'll even move my Janet's over there in the corner. Say hi, Janet. Hi, Janet. In the. He, he keeps me in a corner. So this is my new laptop that I absolutely love, but it's made for gaming, but I'm not a game.

[00:05:36] and the reason you're not, I'm not, but the reason I really like my laptop, even though I'm not a gamer is because of the speed. Right. I can do anything. I want for my computing, for taxes, for our bookkeeping, um, just doing a faster eight design work and the computer keeps up with me cuz I do a lot of that stuff for us, for our business, our [00:06:00] podcast and our personal finances and everyth.

[00:06:02] Yes, so, and it's really good. And what I like about it is Jen doesn't look that old Chinese movie yeah, it does keep up. And I, when I talk, it looks like I'm talking instead of like talking. He thus the bad Chinese movie. I know, but those were kind of funny sometimes. So, so that got upgraded and I got a new screen up there cuz I always wanted one of those.

[00:06:26] Yes. So we, we upgraded her and she's got a new upgrade there. There's her, there's her, her new laptop with, with a, with. External screen monitor. Mm-hmm curvy. When we bought my curvy monitor, we bought a total of three curvy monitors. Yes. I, I, I would show you my curvy monitors except well, they can see the bottom of one y'all can't handle my curves.

[00:06:52] they can see the bottom of yours. So, but the other two look just like mine. Yep. Just like hers. Uh, we got an awesome deal. I mean, [00:07:00] it's we did a lot of research. We did a lot of due diligence. Is that the word? That's the right word? Yeah, we, we did our, our due diligence. We made sure it was the right fit for us product for us.

[00:07:13] Yeah. The right fit for what we needed it for what we wanted. Um, cause we wanted it to work, not just for. The, uh, podcast we wanted it to work for, like I said, for finances and for computing and for all the word processing I do. And cuz me I'm writing a cookbook and yours, you also have the ability to use for gaming.

[00:07:36] Yep. I like gaming, but you do tons of streaming on yours. Your computer handles. Everything for the podcast. Mine just sits here and looks pretty for the podcast. Yes. And it makes me not look like an old Chinese ancient, ancient Chinese woman. Yeah. That's what we wanted. We wanted you to not look like ancient Chinese woman.

[00:07:54] We did the online research. We did the local shopping research. And if people [00:08:00] say, did you see Loco? I said, lo local, we are loca. We're crazy. Mo Loco. Yes. Twist more local Patrick. Yeah. Yeah. See, Janet's been learning Spanish also on the. On online. And, and I, I, when she gets tired, she comes up with her own. I, I tell, I tell everybody she speaks and mish is, and they're like, what the hell is that?

[00:08:25] It's it's Janet's version of English, German, and Spanish all rolled up in the one line. No, explain why. Well, Janet ex military. And she spent a lot of time in Germany and I learned German and she learned German. So then she adds Spanish to her English because I already, I already knew some Spanish to begin with from living out here as a teenager, before I joined the army.

[00:08:44] And then I learned more Spanish and now I'm taking Spanish online again and now it's and I kind of speak English. You speak Jan? Yeah, I, I speak Jan and now she speaks in mish. yeah. Okay. If you wanna call it when I'm [00:09:00] it's her version really? It's her version of English, German, and Spanish. When I'm really tired, sometimes sentences come out.

[00:09:07] English and German and Spanish all in the same sentence. Now, let me tell you something. If, if Babbel or, or du lingo is listening to our podcast show and they come up with a new, new language called and mish, I want credit. I, I would like some credit please. Mm. Just some, I want some money. Show me the money.

[00:09:25] Haven't that would be nice to have a little bit of sugar. The money is go with it line from the movie. Yeah. Jerry McGuire. So we, we researched some of the stuff we bought from local, you know, cuz people said, well, where did you buy stuff? They just figured we went into one store and picked stuff up. No, we, we shopped around.

[00:09:43] We hopped online first we stripped the office. Yeah. Oh God. Yeah. And then we shopped online. We did some measuring too, and obviously not enough measuring, but we did some measuring . Yeah, Patrick's computer, the, the monitors, [00:10:00] the, the, the, the tower itself. I wanted to keep it on the desk. The tower was. Was that much stupid, that much taller than, than the space he had than the space I had, which is okay.

[00:10:12] Cuz it's in a good spot on the floor. That's fine. It's in a great spot. And, and the monitors take up almost the whole desk, the monitors, they are touching it. This close. No they're are they touching it? They're this close. I thought you could put a piece of paper between them. No, there's no paper getting in there.

[00:10:29] Okay. So the monitors touch, we have cupboards above his monitors that we put up and they touch. See there's a, there's a cupboard right here. There's a door. Oh, yeah, you can see that. So, so his monitors touched that. Yeah. So anyway, so when everything came in while he was in the garage, unpacking things, because everything was that we didn't buy local.

[00:10:54] Came through ups and we just opened the garage door, the guy, yeah. To the garage door and said, yes, guy [00:11:00] just brought the box. Don't stack it in front. Just, just, don't put it on the Harley. Just put it in between the bikes. Yeah. Just slide it or just put it in between the motorcycles. So he was so that way I could gradually bring the pieces in.

[00:11:11] And while he did that, I got to clean the office. I was so happy. It was like three days of Christmas. For me. Yeah. No for me. Oh yeah. You were unpacking. I was cleaning. So it was three days of Christmas for both of us. Yeah. Right now it's three days of spring cleaning for you, which is Christmas three days of Christmas for me.

[00:11:28] Yeah. Cuz then he got to put everything together and, and do all that programming stuff that he had to do, like update. I had to get. Stall, I get everything synced up and ready to go. And I got this new thing called the stream deck, which I can push these little buttons and it, and it changes the scenes or as I call it the button thingy and it, and it allows me to put all this fancy stuff on our videos, which if you're not subscribed to our YouTube channel, what are you waiting for?

[00:11:55] Yeah, because you can see all the fancy stuff on the videos there, get in what you can, because [00:12:00] pretty soon we're gonna, you know, you wanna see the videos you're gonna have to pay for 'em, uh, go to go to the number one, the number eight wheel talk.com/youtube. It'll take you directly to our YouTube channel so you can subscribe.

[00:12:14] So, um, so, so let me go into camera two angle here. And, and I got this little stream deck here and all these little buttons. Do different things like, like I could push this button here and it puts all this social media stuff up so that way, and it could, you get to see all our social media stuff. That's how you go to screen too.

[00:12:39] Also isn't or camera show. That's how I could adjust it, you know, through all the different camera angles, we currently have two, we, one going three. I wanna add more. but in order for me to do so, I gotta get a, uh, a USB hub. And because we have the camera stage it somewhere. No, we don't. I thought we bought two cameras at [00:13:00] that store.

[00:13:00] We, we did, I'm using one here and then, oh my bad. And one up there, my bad. And if we want a third one for like a behind the, the total behind or up here, one of one or tether, we have to have a USB hub or, or. Or the, or they have to be, or the means or the means to plug in it, or they have to be, um, wifi.

[00:13:23] Bluetooth. That's why I said Bluetooth or wifi, either one, I think. Yeah. It's but anyways, we, we, we figured look, we're content creators in general. And we, so this was a good business investment and we decided let's, you know, we're gonna do this, let's do this. Yeah. So, so I shopped at, uh, I bought my desktop through CLX gaming computers, highly recommend that and ease the ease was.

[00:13:51] It, it was just unbelievable. I custom built it to, to my specs. Yeah. His specific, he bought what he [00:14:00] wanted and put it together. They put it together and sent it to him. I figured if I'm gonna do I'm, you know, I'm only gonna go all in like this once, you know, and I shouldn't have to upgrade this. Hardly ever, all you had to do was what take the cover off and take the packing out of the center and then put the cover back.

[00:14:17] Yeah. I just had to take, cause they had everything packed really well. Yeah. They, they amazing. They put like a piece of foam in there to hold the, the, the video card in place. So it didn't bounce around and transit. So I just had to take something out, a little piece of foam out and then. Plug plug it in and go, you know, thank God for the money your company owed you plus our taxes.

[00:14:38] Yes. Because we're looking at 'em. Yeah, very good investment. So, uh, so, so with that, we did that. So with that being said, we also took two steps back and thought about our podcast and, and literally sat down and brainstormed on where we wanted to take our podcast show. And we [00:15:00] decided that. We are two retired truck drivers.

[00:15:04] We, the, the, the podcast show is gonna always be 18 wheel talk because of the fact that we're two retired, retired truck drivers, but we still love to travel. So we're gonna gear our podcast show to truckers and travelers hashtag come together. Mm-hmm , that's what we came up with. And the reason being is truckers and travelers.

[00:15:27] Basically have similar stories to tell. So our new slogan is helping truckers and travelers in their pursuit of health, happiness, and a better life behind the wheel. So, so that's what we are gearing our podcast show towards. Well, and if you, so if you know people that. go on vacation, travel RV, um, you know, any, anybody that drives a truck, let 'em know about our show.

[00:15:55] Tell 'em tell me. And a lot of truck drivers have RVs or campers that they use, [00:16:00] you know, pull behind it well on their downtime, on their downtime. Like my dad, you know, we had a station wagon when I was a kid and he piled all the kids in mom in the station wagon and hooked up the camper. Loaded it with the tent and everything, and cause believe all of us all over the country.

[00:16:14] because believe, believe me, the two of us love truck driving. And love travel and, and we love traveling and, and checking out new areas and, and, and we've done road trips in the car where we stayed in hotels and we've done road trips in an RV. Yes. And, and we've had we've we got our share stories. I mean, definitely everybody, everybody plans for the perfect vacation, but are they perfect, but there's always that little hiccup.

[00:16:43] You know, so, and you know, so we're gonna try to, to, you know, to, to give you some tips and tricks and ways to hopefully maybe avoid the hiccups. Yes. A as, as I like to say. 

[00:19:45]  you were saying, oh, I was just gonna say that, you know, and like for instance, I remember the one hotel we stayed at is you can't [00:20:00] always judge a book by its covers. People always say that Uhhuh, but when we looked at the outside of the hotel and this hotel had great reviews, mm-hmm , but when we've went to the outside of the hotel, we're.

[00:20:10] Ooh. I don't know about this hotel, but when we went in the room, it was amazing. Oh, oh my God. Yeah. Beds the decorations. It was my God first class. And then the breakfast, the next outside. Wasn't wasn't to die for it. Wasn't ready. It. No, it wasn't ready. But it was like, it was like, you kinda looked anywhere.

[00:20:30] How did this place get such good reviews? And then you walked the door, literally you walk into the room and you went, wow. They put all you could tell, they put all their money on the inside. All their money was on the inside. The rooms were amazing that unbelievable, the dining hall as they called, it was absolutely amazing.

[00:20:48] The food was first rate, but we did our research. Yep. You know, and that's one of our. Tips that we talk about is how to plan your, how to plan your trip and do your due diligence on your research and [00:21:00] everything. And it really paid off. And I tell you, though, when we first pulled in that parking lot, we're like, whoa, I wonder if I made the right choice, are we in the right spot?

[00:21:08] this can't be damn me. But on top of that, not only are we gonna give you tips and tricks? Uh, you we're gonna do reviews. We're gonna, we're going, we're gonna tell you about products that we think might be helpful that we've used. We, we might, we're going, you know, a movie that's out there, you know, Hey, you gotta have some R and R definitely.

[00:21:29] You know, so, so we're gonna recommend some movies, some dining, uh, businesses that we deal with. And there's businesses that when you're traveling highly recommend and there's other businesses that. Don't recommend yeah. Yeah. You know, as a traveler, you know, there's some that when you're, especially in an AR big RV or a semi or a yeah, dudes, a truck don't or a SUV polling, a camper, there's some businesses you want to really avoid.

[00:21:57] Yeah. Yes. Yes. That we, [00:22:00] we ran into that. Yeah.
