Bryan, Rich, and the Duuude get together for another round of life, mostly unplanned, with Rich and Ron in the same room for Cruisin' the Coast week. Bella slides out of her harness during a Jeep ride and ends the day with a new harness and a Lamb Chop toy. Thousands of hot rods roll into town, a dozen of them break down in the driving lanes, and the rain cancels the drag races. From there it's pull-the-thermostat theory, Rock Auto prices, Mopar coolant, control arms, a Louisiana State Police run-in, truck cameras that judge your elbow, Rich's porch screening and a 70-and-a-half-inch measuring screwup, a Suzuki Samurai with an engine bigger than the car, a surprise CDL school payout for Ron, Bryan's AI influencer rabbit hole, tornado stories, France's school riots, Mississippi's reading scores, and the college bubble. The best part: Rich walks into a ham radio club meeting on Thursday night and walks out a member, with new friends, club shirts, and a calendar full of POTA and contest events. It closes with Route 66 on the Air and QSL cards, Bella's cheese tax, Tulsa King on Rich's couch, a steroid pack that took the edge off Rich's pain, liver and thiamine talk, and WorldCam.io as the Site of the Week.Links MentionedWorldCam.io – Site of the Week, live webcams and traffic cams from all over the worldRockAuto – cheap parts for the 3.6 Jeep: thermostat housings, control arms, coolantElk City Hamfest – the Elk City amateur radio club's hamfest pageARRL – where to look up ham radio clubs by countyPodcastApps.com – directory of modern podcast apps that support live tags, funding tags, and chaptersFountain – a modern podcast app that can pick up the live showPodcast Guru – a modern podcast app that can pick up the live showTwoGrumpyVets.com – the show's website, with the Value for Value tabPayPal – one-time or recurring support for the showMetal Cloak – the adjustable control arms and drag linkFacebook – where the car pictures, videos, and canceled-drag-race news showed upTikTok – where the AI influencers kept popping upYouTube – the AI-generated jazz videos playing for BellaBBC – the report on the French school protestsParamount+ – home of Tulsa KingPetco – where the new harness and the Lamb Chop toy came fromWalmart – delivery for the hoagie supplies and green olivesLowe's – where the porch screen door came fromCVS – the extra-strength magnesiumCafePress – possible show merch, if the t-shirt prices ever behaveCanva – for album art (2000x2000px, please)GIMP – another option for making show artZoom – the recording platform, with its usual dramaSupport the ShowNo sponsors here — you are the sponsor.
