R2RO Radio Show 2: Exploring Fighter Jets, Cellphone Evolution & iPod Antics: A Tech-Time Travel Adventure
This was the 2nd episode of our R2RO Radio Show on Planet Radio 106.7 + listentotheplanet.com
Are you ready to fly high and lean into high-stakes tech trivia? This week, we buckle up and take a deep dive into the awe-inspiring world of fighter jets, specifically the F-35. We bring you the untold stories of these behemoth machines, from their staggering costs to their advanced autopilot capabilities. With a keen eye on the pilot's ejection and the resulting safe autopilot landing, we leave no stone unturned. As we question the validity of Marines flying these jets, we explore a thrilling modern method of deploying soldiers - dropping them straight from the sky.
Next, we take a nostalgic walk down memory lane, reminiscing about the days of the first iPhones and Razers. These trailblazers in cellphone technology paved the way for the sleek, feature-filled devices we have today. Get ready for a sneak peek into the futuristic iPhone 15, with its shift to USB-C and changes in operating systems. Trust us, you don't want to miss this tech-time travel adventure!
But that’s not all, technology buffs! We hand over the aux cord and tap into the beat of the original iPod. Remember the iPod Shuffle and its motorcycle ride soundtracks? We sure do! Brace yourself for a hearty laugh as we recount a hilarious tale involving a car wash that had to press pause thanks to...an antenna. So, what are you waiting for? Join us for an episode packed with fascinating tech talk, intriguing questions, and a healthy dose of nostalgia. [END SHOW NOTES]
This is Planet Radio 106.7, the best rock on the planet. R2ro right to remain offended. Radio edit. Radio version show. Back on the radio. I'm Craig Chuck.
Speaker 2:I'm not doing it.
Speaker 3:I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it, I'm not doing it.
Speaker 2:I'm doing, I'm drawing them of these guys.
Speaker 4:I'm, I'm, I'm lying Right. So, Craig, what we have here is we have the five guys, all five guys, are here tonight.
Speaker 2:All five guys Craig, chuck, scott, eric and Matt, we're all here and everybody needs to know who's here. No, we're the auto workers over here. We're not. We're sure Yo Shrike is here. I need to leave Craig alone.
Speaker 5:This is textbook first page of the manual on radio conversations.
Speaker 1:I'm just trying to follow my training. We all follow my training.
Speaker 3:Please follow. You don't want to have to make a training.
Speaker 2:Where is your training from my training.
Speaker 4:What's it mean? Wouldn't your training mean you'd sit in a chair and stare at a plane?
Speaker 2:No, apparently somebody doesn't sit in a chair anymore, even in the plane. They just eject out and let that thing roll. That's, that's the new way right. Autoball it and on.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's, yeah, that's how they. Well, I don't understand that.
Speaker 2:Did you see that story about an F-35? I did.
Speaker 4:I saw the headline. I didn't really read into it, but I mean this dude, just like I don't need to play no more Pete somehow. Okay, but here's the next question why?
Speaker 1:Why Like we're?
Speaker 3:trying to do something weird. And why did he get out? Yeah, like was something bad happening.
Speaker 4:Okay, so don't these things all have like a ping, ping, ping ping.
Speaker 3:It does. They can turn off and.
Speaker 4:Vibram, vibram, hook.
Speaker 2:Yeah, how much do these things cost?
Speaker 4:Is there a recall on?
Speaker 3:it or something 80 million dollars, 80.
Speaker 2:Like eight zeros, so they should have spent like 81 and got the they should have got the upgraded package At least get like, did they?
Speaker 4:throw air to the pilot or something.
Speaker 3:The one with on-star hold up is that hey did the pilot.
Speaker 5:Did the pilot leave his iPhone in there where it has, the where I parked?
Speaker 1:my car, find my phone. Yeah, find my, find my iPhone 535.
Speaker 2:They've been out too long. That's the problem. On-star subscription, that is probably X-bar, x-bar, x-bar.
Speaker 1:So he made it past his 12 months.
Speaker 3:That 80 million dollar jet is probably 25 years old.
Speaker 4:So this plane is 80 million dollars. Yeah, yes, it carries one person. Yep, yes, yes.
Speaker 3:It's not for the person.
Speaker 4:Huh, 80 million dollars one person, yep.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it does other things.
Speaker 2:Like fly by itself it's not a person to carry your airplane? No, hey.
Speaker 3:It's a fighter. It's a fighter jet.
Speaker 2:Well, after seeing this I went and found out because it was like, wait the plane, like he really ejected out of it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and it was on Autobahn and get blind.
Speaker 2:But there's a plane in what the 70s that some dude ejected out of and just by a certain sheer circumstance of how everything lined up, his plane landed by itself in a field, safely In a cornfield, nice.
Speaker 5:In Minnesota, no way.
Speaker 2:Like all it did was damage just the bottom of the fuselage.
Speaker 4:So he could have, like flintstone, stopped it if he wanted to.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, they said when the town people went out there to go see what was going on it still was idling, the engine was still going it was pushing itself on its belly slowly across his field. Oh my God. They just waited for the gas to burn out. That's what I was thinking.
Speaker 3:Just let it tire itself out.
Speaker 1:So all these planes nowadays can land themselves.
Speaker 4:Typically when you land them, can land themselves.
Speaker 1:When you're landing at an airport. Most of the time it's not the pilot putting it down on the ground.
Speaker 4:Get out of here.
Speaker 1:They can, a lot of them can land themselves.
Speaker 4:I thought that was the part you kind of needed them for.
Speaker 1:Well, you can land it manually but the technology's out there, most of them land themselves.
Speaker 3:I haven't landed one plane that I came down on yet Either Thank God, none they all just did it without me, without you, they don't need you.
Speaker 1:So I was thinking, if this guy ejects and he has it in autopilot and he was near where he wanted to land, is there a chance he ejected? The plane landed itself safely and then he had to go answer some questions, so they just kind of like we don't really know, because it got. If somebody ejects and somebody sees that right, they know somebody ejected but yeah, somebody's going to go get that plane.
Speaker 4:So they're just like. You know what?
Speaker 1:We're just not really going to say that we know where the plane is just yet, because it landed itself safely, so we don't know why this guy ejected out of it.
Speaker 3:That's what I want to know is why. What was going on when the dude pressed that button? Yeah, because you shouldn't even. I heard he got out.
Speaker 1:You shouldn't even give a fifth gen fighter to a marine anyway, and that's who had it so four gen fighters.
Speaker 3:okay, that's where we're going Well.
Speaker 1:I mean, you know, maybe you shouldn't give any planes to the marines, but whatever.
Speaker 3:They shouldn't be flying it, they should just be in the back of it.
Speaker 4:I thought you said it wasn't a person I'll carry.
Speaker 3:It was okay In most planes In the back of these, I guess. I don't fly in planes like that. I only fly in planes that we could jump out of or that the new way they deploy soldiers.
Speaker 4:They just fly and they drop them from there. 35?. Yeah something like that. Remember opinions during the show is only that of the guys at R2RO and not Planet Radio.
Speaker 1:It's all good Eight years in the air force right here. You should not give those planes to the marines.
Speaker 3:That is right. I'm army and I agree. I concur.
Speaker 1:He signs off on that message.
Speaker 4:Out of everything, just give planes to everybody. I know people I went to high school that fly crop dusters.
Speaker 5:All I know is that plane lands in a sugarcane field in Vermilion Parish and nobody's watching that thing run out of gas. Somebody's jumping in that thing and say, hey, can this take off again?
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, it's been in the land of few times.
Speaker 1:They all want to know how a virgin can do a vertical takeoff and somebody in Vermilion Parish is jumping in that thing and going vertical in a lawn chair In the first few years.
Speaker 2:In a lawn chair.
Speaker 3:They ain't got no seat you would have seen it on Facebook Marketplace.
Speaker 2:F-35, 50 million, the best offer.
Speaker 5:I know, what I got. I know what I got.
Speaker 2:I know, what I got yo.
Speaker 5:And if it waits a whole week, it's going to be on 22s Especially.
Speaker 4:It's a bit of a me in Paris. None of those cats leave in that plane alone. They are going immediately to figure out how to use it to go duck hunting or kill deer, absolutely 100%.
Speaker 1:And the marine version can hover, so we can shoot pigs out of it. Exactly.
Speaker 5:Money. Oh yeah, I'm in Alright.
Speaker 2:Marine course initial planes. We got ideas for them, yes, sir.
Speaker 5:It's the R2RO radio show.
Speaker 1:It's Planet Radio 106.7, the best rock on the planet. You're with R2RO, radio Edit with Craig Chuck.
Speaker 3:Scott Eric.
Speaker 4:Right, y'all know who I am.
Speaker 2:And Matt, since he doesn't want to say his name, so we got everybody here.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so we got a. We made it through our first week. I don't think we have any FCC violations, so that's good, I mean.
Speaker 4:I think we had heard of Chris.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That's right Quick finger on the point. Oh my God, we're good.
Speaker 4:Shout out to my boy, todd, that works at US Postal Service for Divertin said fines.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so we got a topic this time around, we're going to, we're going with the iPhones the new iPhones coming out, coming out this week this week.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're going to buy one this week.
Speaker 1:Yeah, get ready to get it.
Speaker 2:I just got a new body component, so are we on? 15, now iPhone iPhone 15 and 15 pro and plus pro max.
Speaker 1:Plus max.
Speaker 2:I mean, when they first came out, it was just one. Yeah, Like whatever that year was right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was just the first one you had. I had the first one.
Speaker 2:Just iPhone iPhone Yep. It was just, it was iPhone.
Speaker 3:You had one too. I did too.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I think it was uh what was the second one called Two? It was called 2007.
Speaker 2:The second one was a 3G.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I remember it was because that was at the time. So there was no two. Take all two.
Speaker 5:No two, let's try that my first one was the three iPhone 3G.
Speaker 2:That's the one I had, they might jailbreak theirs.
Speaker 4:I did.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you did Immediately.
Speaker 4:I had everything.
Speaker 1:I've ever had. I couldn't even figure out how to type on the thing at first, so I had a. I had a blackberry right, so I was one of the yeah.
Speaker 3:I was like why do you still have a blackberry?
Speaker 4:I had a blackjack. I had a Samsung blackjack.
Speaker 5:Oh yeah.
Speaker 3:I didn't even buy this phone that sounds like Dr Chick.
Speaker 4:It's like you know, I got the good Dr Pepper, Just like it, but totally different. My now wife went and upgraded my phone for my birthday and didn't tell me she had none of my information. They just let her do it.
Speaker 3:That's crazy. I are you.
Speaker 4:I mean, okay, it was in Apollosis.
Speaker 3:And your wife is pretty convincing.
Speaker 4:She is. She's very convincing when she wants to be so. But no, I love that phone. That phone was fantastic. I'd probably still use it now, but then I wouldn't know how to do 90% of the things in my office.
Speaker 3:It couldn't. No. What year was it? Oh, seven. When did the camera come out? Right around, it was on the iPhone. So they had a camera phone. Right before the iPhone, we had a. What was it Like a sliver?
Speaker 2:or a razor. I had a sliver, so the sliver. The big thing about the sliver was that it actually could hold MP3s. That one was flat, though. Yeah, it could hold like 20 songs on it and it's waterproof for like eight hours 20 songs when it sits in three inches of water in the bucket of a tractor.
Speaker 4:Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 3:Yes, yes yes.
Speaker 1:That's pretty specific.
Speaker 2:I went to a wedding one time in the country and I rode to the wedding in the bucket of a tractor while I was in my tux which makes those slippery pockets and my little Motorola sliver fell out in the bucket of this tractor. I didn't notice it for three hours sitting in the water. When we came back it still worked Wow.
Speaker 1:Go do that one.
Speaker 4:It worked for a while too, yeah, for years. That's impressive. I mean, that's almost Nokia status.
Speaker 5:Oh, yeah, yeah, only Nokia can play that, but I don't think you could play Snake on it.
Speaker 2:I kind of miss my Razer some days too, except you know what?
Speaker 1:Now they're coming back out with a Razer type.
Speaker 2:It is a Razer, but it's a. It's a foldable, but it's a touchscreen.
Speaker 3:Yeah, who had Razer?
Speaker 1:Was that Motorola, motorola, yeah, motorola, yeah and that was like in 06 or something like that, so iPhone was right behind that it was 07.
Speaker 2:Oh fine, iPhone was 07. Yeah, so yeah all these wild phones were talking about when the iPhone came out and everything looks exactly the yeah, like, if you look at phones they all look. They're all the same form factor.
Speaker 5:Yeah, yep yeah.
Speaker 4:The Razer was like a leap and bound because it was so thin in your pocket when everything else was like carrying a brick Right. So it was like you said. There was no difference.
Speaker 3:Yeah, except for a potato camera.
Speaker 4:That was the first phone I can remember getting a picture on.
Speaker 2:That even had it, you could do.
Speaker 4:I was sleeping. It goes off and it's loud and look at it and I open it up and there is my business partner, very intoxicated, taking a picture in a mirror, and he had finally discovered that he was bald and he had shaved his head for the first time. I can I see the picture in my head right now. He's just it's beautiful.
Speaker 3:I think he needs that picture out there.
Speaker 4:I don't have it. I can see it in my head.
Speaker 3:Cause I can see that picture now too.
Speaker 4:I think it would be quite hilarious. I don't think you could even take stuff off of phones back then, Like he I forgot a picture.
Speaker 1:It was just on the phone.
Speaker 3:It was just there. Where would you see it, can't?
Speaker 1:share that, put it on your MySpace. Probably no, you could log into MySpace back then on your phone I was on the computer.
Speaker 4:Baby, that's way back when you had to text in your pocket, yeah. Or you didn't have to text in your pocket, but you could, because you felt all the buttons. You just pressed that number many times as whatever you were trying to spell, yeah.
Speaker 1:I don't know. So what's the new thing on the iPhone? This go around. They got the. They change. Oh, that is that's it. They change in the charging port.
Speaker 2:Charge the port, no more lighting.
Speaker 1:I went up great my phone a couple of weeks ago and the dude told me man, you sure you want to do it right now? The 15 is about to come out. So I'm like, man, like I need to, I need to move up. It was just it's getting to a point where I need to move up. So I said what's the difference? What's coming? So he's like well, you know, the operating systems could be a little bit different. I was like well, I'll get that on my phone, which, regardless of which one I get. And he's like and the charging port is going to USB-C. I'm like quick thought process in my head and I'm like that means I'm going to have to change out all the cables in my house. However, everybody else in my house has lightning ports. I'm going to be the only one without it. No, I'm good, give me that one right now. I'm going to just kick that can down the road just a little bit longer.
Speaker 1:And then later, when everybody in my house can change over to USB-C, then we'll just kind of knock it out quickly.
Speaker 2:See I'm sitting there thinking I can finally get rid of all the lightning cables in my house.
Speaker 3:Yeah, see, I have tons of Because everything else is already using that other cable, like why I got everything else in the house.
Speaker 1:I don't have any dumb cable, I don't have anything else.
Speaker 2:But Apple has been doing that since the beginning. I mean that's, we had the, the member of the big wide pin connector before they came out with the lightning.
Speaker 4:I still have an iPod that uses that and it works.
Speaker 2:You still have a what. You still have an iPod. You still have a what.
Speaker 4:I have multiples.
Speaker 2:Do you have multiple iPods?
Speaker 4:Yes, I have two shuffles that I used to use when I wrote my motorcycle.
Speaker 2:That's that little square, yeah, like the size of the click wheel, the teeper yeah.
Speaker 4:I used to say where you wear on your belt. That way, you just click, click, click whenever you're rolling. It's not that big of a deal.
Speaker 2:What was the first song you put on? Oh wow.
Speaker 4:Bruh, that's a. I ain't got no idea how to answer that one.
Speaker 2:It wasn't Dynamite Hack.
Speaker 4:No Ah they had the best. No, no, no, I can't man, I don't know no.
Speaker 2:It was probably some Pink Floyd song.
Speaker 4:Well, think about it, we'll come back, david.
Speaker 5:It's the R2RO radio show.
Speaker 1:This is Planet Radio 106.7, the best rock on the planet. R2ro radio edit with Craig.
Speaker 5:Chuck Scott.
Speaker 1:Didn't we go over this? I thought we did that. Yeah, I think we got to do this every time.
Speaker 5:It's like radio it's like radio.
Speaker 1:We're like, we're got a radio show now. We have to act like radio people. So there you go, it's radio Eric and Matt, it's a radio edit, you have to say it.
Speaker 4:Big hero and.
Speaker 1:Eric. Yeah, but we don't have buttons, we're just doing it when I'm out.
Speaker 3:We don't have buttons. Wait, we can live.
Speaker 1:We can put in this I need a button Huh.
Speaker 4:I need a button. You need a button. I need buttons. Yes, I need multiple buttons. For what? What are we putting on a button? Brrr, don't give me a free reign to tell me what I'm going to put on a button.
Speaker 3:On the podcast button. Podcast button, yeah.
Speaker 4:Because I can't talk about that.
Speaker 3:Can we talk about the podcast buttons on the radio show?
Speaker 4:We can talk about the podcast buttons on the radio show, but not what said buttons are going to be, because somebody else is going to have to find these FCC finds when they come in through the mail and move them because I've used up my favorite with Todd.
Speaker 2:already I got to go find another guy.
Speaker 3:They probably do send bills in the mail to FCC. I would imagine that's how they can 100%.
Speaker 4:You don't think they've upgraded the email yet? Not at all. They use dot matrix printers. Dude Yep.
Speaker 3:What are we talking about?
Speaker 1:Did you figure out what was on that iPod?
Speaker 4:I did Because we could move if you didn't, I did, I did, I did Way back in the day. Is anybody well, I'm assuming you do the box? Oh the box was the best. The box. What channel was it? I'm trying, was it like 19 or something?
Speaker 2:like that, because I added in Bad Nourish too. Yeah, when I did.
Speaker 4:So it was different frequency. Anyway, I found that that's where I discovered ministry, and the song was Jesus Built my Hot Rod.
Speaker 2:Oh, I love that song.
Speaker 4:And it's just a work of art.
Speaker 2:It's beautiful, I really. Yes, the box helped me discover so much crazy, you see, because they had stuff on there that they wouldn't play on the MTV.
Speaker 4:That's how I discovered MC Breed. Ah, the box.
Speaker 1:The box was great Box. I don't know if I ever watched the box.
Speaker 2:You didn't watch it.
Speaker 4:No All right, you lived down the way for me. You didn't have cable, I didn't.
Speaker 2:That was a wild thing about the box at one point is it was you caught it over there.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You can get it with the antenna. I didn't understand how they pulled that off. It was halfway staticky all the time.
Speaker 4:You say antenna to a kid, now that, like you mean on a car.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they don't even have them on cars. Yeah, sure, I know I don't.
Speaker 3:I don't either, because I went through the car wash the other day on College of Living. And it took it from you. They stopped the whole car wash and the dude walked up and he's like antenna, I'm like what you want me to do with it. I don't have a butt in this antenna. We haven't had that. Like the antennas, don't retract. They used to, though I know they used to, but they don't do that anymore.
Speaker 4:I do remember that.
Speaker 3:So the guy walks up. The whole thing stopped Apparently my antenna was too long.
Speaker 4:Why did they discover this? Once you're in the car wash.
Speaker 3:Well, because that's whenever the car wash came to screeching halt.
Speaker 4:So there's a antenna height sensor.
Speaker 3:I'm not really sure, but it got Every.
Speaker 2:American made truck has the same size antenna and they haven't figured out it built the car wash around that, yet Right, well, I mean I drove it off the lot like a few days before and through this car wash and it got caught and it mangled up the top.
Speaker 3:So they shut all the operation down. He went over, he unscrewed it off the truck and then walked around to Moinda like he was gonna hand it to me through Moinda. I'm like what do you want me do with that?
Speaker 2:I don't want to yeah, you throw it away down there. It's like a question mark at the top. What did?
Speaker 3:you throw away, for, yeah, I'm like you throw it away. I don't even get a road on the wind. I would just look at you.
Speaker 4:It's an Indian Larry radio antenna.
Speaker 1:Why don't we just put the little shark fin one? Well, that's what I got. Yeah, I got a shark fin.
Speaker 3:I got a little tiny one, a little bullet, or it's not that in shape like a bullet, but it's a little black, little tiny thing in the front, yeah, but they got this shark fin on the back and I don't understand why that one can't just do everything, yeah well, I want to understand how the bullet doesn't just automatically be the standard.
Speaker 5:Now, right, why? Do we have that long antenna now we can just have a little.
Speaker 3:Well, I have a, probably because you need reach to catch the Planet Radio in life.
Speaker 2:yet I catch it on mine, on your little shark fin.
Speaker 1:I do, I actually catch it on my shark fin too. You know why I don't catch it?
Speaker 2:Because there's parts of town when I can't catch that, because there are parts of town where Verizon has no cell service.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and so the only way I can listen to.
Speaker 2:Planet Radio is through 106.7, so definitely all of River Ranch and all of. Camelia, I can't listen to anything else but Planet Radio, and you have a shark fin yeah. Well, it's a little short one probably like four inches, a little shorty.
Speaker 1:Oh, you have a little shorty screwed on your thing. Yeah, I don't even know. I don't even have that little threaded nub foreign antenna on mine.
Speaker 5:For some reason the trucks don't have that. Because you have an SUV, we have trucks. The trucks, they didn't do the stuff Threaded nub antenna.
Speaker 4:Is that a technical?
Speaker 5:term, that's technical.
Speaker 4:Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1:It's an Air Force language. Air Force language, that is just Google it, that's, it's on there, I promise.
Speaker 2:Is this how we lose F-35s?
Speaker 1:That is exact. No, you give them to Marine. That's how you lose it.
Speaker 5:So you were talking about Verizon. You have Apple or iOS, android. What do you have? Oh, I have an iPhone.
Speaker 2:I've gone back and forth so many times. I mean, I had that first iPhone and I think I dragged Matt over to the Android side at one point in time.
Speaker 4:Well, I got upset. I was upset. I got tired of having to go to a computer and sync up my podcast every single day. This was before. You could just download one app.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you had to go and open up your iTunes.
Speaker 4:You had to get it into iTunes. There was no third party app you had to have your phone plugged in. Remember that you had jumped, you were on your second Android phone and I got. It was a 5x. It was a Google phone, yep, 5x, and I think I stayed on that train for three or four phones and then, once again, you had already jumped back and you had an extra phone. I was like hey, can I borrow that? And it's still in my pocket.
Speaker 3:So you want it, can I?
Speaker 1:borrow that I'm still borrowing it.
Speaker 2:I give it one to know what phone I used to have? Go ask Matt what phone he has now. Yeah, look, I learned the Android thing from Mr Jailbreak himself over here.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but that's so now. So you're the only one in the group that makes our text messages have a green bubble if we're in text messages.
Speaker 4:Okay, wait, why is I? I've yet to understand why this is such a point of contention with people, because it messes up pictures and videos.
Speaker 1:if you're in a text group, no, it's not everybody.
Speaker 2:Matt has my old iPhone right.
Speaker 1:Oh he has his own iPhone.
Speaker 4:No, I just don't understand why it's such a big deal.
Speaker 5:I've known, you know it's like videos that come in super small on a text message and bad quality.
Speaker 4:You never had it where you had only coming from an.
Speaker 1:Android yes, anybody that doesn't have iMessage.
Speaker 4:So yes, okay so then just screw that dude.
Speaker 2:That's what we've been trying to do for like 20 years.
Speaker 5:Yeah, he keeps showing up he keeps showing up with better and better ways.
Speaker 1:He can just take. He can take really nice pictures on his phone.
Speaker 2:He can. That's way better than ours.
Speaker 1:They didn't have any mail them, yeah, but he can't send them to us because we can't see them.
Speaker 3:But we do, we have signal yeah it comes through signal really well.
Speaker 1:It works on signal, not on text messages. Everything works on signal.
Speaker 3:It's the iPhone that tries to bogart all of that.
Speaker 1:That's true.
Speaker 3:It is true, and then you have plenty of ways to go around it. Oh, so it is.
Speaker 5:It's Apple's fault. I'm gonna put it on Tim Cook. I'm not even saying it's a.
Speaker 1:It's the way. So when you send it through SMS, it's really the cellular services, right.
Speaker 3:Yes, because the other one uses the internet.
Speaker 2:Correct the next segment. Matt's gonna tell us why this isn't stupid.
Speaker 4:Well wait, am I gonna tell you why this isn't stupid In the next segment you're gonna ask us, tell us why this thing isn't stupid.
Speaker 2:Oh J turns, oh yeah. So when we come back, talk about J turns Dig it, it's the R2RO radio show.
Speaker 1:It's Planet Radio 106.7, the best rock on the planet.
Speaker 4:If you start saying our names again, I'm gonna stab you.
Speaker 1:I have to say the name of the show. You have to say the name of the show. Say the name of the show.
Speaker 4:If it didn't. Second, I hear this is Craig, you are going to wear this cup. Okay, so you are not gonna wear it in a fashion you feel really comfortable.
Speaker 1:Well, we have to. We have to tell them what the show is. So fully understand. This is R2RO radio Radio version. We have some people here. Apparently, I can't say my name first, so there's some people sitting around the table. There's Matt Eric Scott Chuckin and I'm Craig Somebody get me a knife. We're gonna have to send you back through the train, but before we get into all that, we're gonna get back to the J turn and tell me why this isn't stupid.
Speaker 4:I want to know why it's not stupid, because Is it just to understand why I can't drive across the damn road?
Speaker 3:So we're talking about all the new J-turns that have popped up between the mall and J-turns.
Speaker 2:Basically, yeah.
Speaker 5:Basically everywhere from. Lafayette to wherever everybody else is going from Lafayette, because you're going towards New Iberia, you're going towards Everywhere you go. They decided let's just start putting J-turns. Yeah, I mean, a couple years ago they actually took out all the J-turns and then we're going to make everything just the highway. And then they said, oh no, we need to put the J-turns back.
Speaker 4:Somebody's bugging law owns a concrete company.
Speaker 5:The J-turn company. That's where I was going with it.
Speaker 1:In New Orleans. That's how it's always been. In any boulevard road that was J-turned, you only can take a right.
Speaker 4:Dude, there's nothing in New Orleans that's uniform.
Speaker 2:Dude, I'll tell you. The other day I was driving down Johnson Street, so the other part of 167. And with sure hope and there was a bunch of J-turns instead of people being able to dart in and out of that turning lane.
Speaker 4:Survival the fittest.
Speaker 2:It's traffic. This is a fight. I was missing Verot at that moment. Trust me.
Speaker 3:I'll fight you on Verot.
Speaker 2:Verot is just a bunch of J-turns.
Speaker 3:So at 7.30, 8 o'clock in the morning going into Lafayette and at between 4.30 and 6.00 leaving Lafayette. Those J-turns are very important, yeah, because this traffic moves now. So they just started resurfacing everything and so now we actually have flat roads all this way Because it's been Lies.
Speaker 4:I want pictures. I'm gonna send you a picture tomorrow.
Speaker 3:Flat road-ish Are you gonna use?
Speaker 4:your fancy-dancing Android phone.
Speaker 3:I will use my Android phone.
Speaker 4:So then according to Chuck, it's not gonna come across right.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, we won't never see these pictures.
Speaker 1:He's gonna zoom in 100 times.
Speaker 3:I'm gonna zoom in 100 times on my fancy phone. I'll pull out the magnifying glass.
Speaker 5:Appreciate you, dog.
Speaker 3:But anyway. So you got J-turns and everybody's going the same direction at relatively the same speed, without any stops and people jumping in. This is the other thing, they're safer, right, that's being safer. So I've come from.
Speaker 4:You mean less fun?
Speaker 3:Well, no, you can still go more fast, Faster.
Speaker 4:Yeah, but more fast is fun. I get you Right, I get you.
Speaker 1:You do not have to worry about someone jumping out in front of me.
Speaker 3:That's the other thing. Most of the people, y'all, are worried about.
Speaker 4:Y'all are worried about people jumping out in front of me. I'm worried about how I'm gonna jump out in front of people.
Speaker 5:And.
Speaker 4:I can't do that. If you got a J-turn, that can only be one chicken when you're playing chicken right, that's right.
Speaker 5:Survival of the fittest. I'm with Matt on this one Traffic is battle. I'm turning it, let's go. I love Justin. I love the issues, though.
Speaker 3:So you got a J-turn at Ebruzard and Johnson Street right, yeah. Well, I don't know if they have these little models where the little cars drive around after they get off of working Lafayette Louisiana. However, after working Lafayette Louisiana, this Because of this one J-turn. Now Collie Saloon backs up at a little after 5 o'clock. And they're not even close to each other.
Speaker 2:Past the roundabout.
Speaker 3:Past the roundabout. How about on to Collie Saloon? So the reason this is happening is because nobody wants to do all the J-turns. So everybody takes a left on Rob Lee.
Speaker 2:Everybody is brilliant and thinks I will take a left on Rob Lee and I will skip all this Everybody is not brilliant. Everybody thinks of it. I would tell somebody about today, about how that Ebruzard backs up and the person looked at me and says man, you know what you should do. I said man, if you tell me to take a left on Rob Lee you're falling the problem.
Speaker 3:So that turning lane to Rob Lee only fits about 2.7 cars.
Speaker 1:Rob Lee's where by the circuit, right by the circuit.
Speaker 3:So when there's 3.1 cars trying to take a left, well, everything stops. And this goes into the fancy big old roundabout they put on Collie Saloon. And now because it stops in the roundabout. You got enough traffic that it stops the other direction of the roundabout. So from Collie Saloon you cannot go left on Ebruzard because the cars coming down the other direction Because of a J-turn on 167. Or in the circle still.
Speaker 4:And that is why J-turns is stupid. Is that a?
Speaker 5:J-turn or a U-turn, which?
Speaker 2:one.
Speaker 5:Because you're trying to go straight and you have to go take a U-turn to get back.
Speaker 2:That's why it's called a J-turn. But look the same you were came up with J-turns. It's a question mark turn.
Speaker 4:You know, like the stuntman move whenever you throw the car in reverse and you thump it and then you cut the wheel and go back in a drive and go forward For sure Is that what J-turn is. Yeah, but isn't that? What's referred to as a J-turn, so can we start doing those on Johnson's.
Speaker 2:Yes, every time I've done that, I just gotta hurt. Don't do that.
Speaker 5:You gotta hurt or your car.
Speaker 4:Never heard me say those words.
Speaker 3:You can do that. I will follow you.
Speaker 4:Let's go.
Speaker 1:So that J-turn on Ebruzard and Johnson Street apparently is stupid enough to back up traffic in another section of town and a whole other fancy roundabout they did probably To ruin one of the greatest traffic, inventions, the roundabout.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 5:Ruin them, ruin a roundabout, it's the best roundabout in Lafayette too, because it's a double yeah.
Speaker 4:Slip like that, ladies and gentlemen, proves my point that a J-turn is stupid.
Speaker 5:You know what would have been great on Johnson Street and Ebruzard what Roundabout. You know what would be great on Ebruzard.
Speaker 3:Another Ebruzard that would be great too.
Speaker 1:Next to it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, for me it needs a bigger road.
Speaker 5:Yeah, four lane. Yeah, they should have four lane that years ago.
Speaker 3:Who does traffic in the city and can we get them on this?
Speaker 1:show? I don't know. We on the radio now they might have heard us.
Speaker 3:We've had two radio shows, we could probably get all kind of people.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Call. What's this? Joey DeRion? No, he's not on the show. No.
Speaker 2:He's going to do no, josh, josh, guillory Josh.
Speaker 3:Guillory.
Speaker 1:Josh Guillory yeah, let's get it, it's, and it's like I told you on the podcast. He's not coming, he's running for reelection.
Speaker 4:So now, if you make it an, issue.
Speaker 1:all the people running against him can talk about it, and he can too there you go.
Speaker 3:We just did it no more J-turns, no more.
Speaker 2:J-turns.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:J-turns, just put it around the bus.
Speaker 1:Around the bus, everywhere Around the bus, around the bus Ebruzard. Once again, I'm sold on roundabouts. I mean, just do it.
Speaker 5:I think a roundabout would work great right there, A two lane roundabout like the big one in Hammond where they have the whoosh, yeah.
Speaker 4:Now what they need to come up with is a pro version of the roundabout where you're allowed to drift, I agree.
Speaker 3:I mean wait, wait, there is no drifting sign in the roundabout.
Speaker 5:There is no drifting sign I live pretty much. This man makes a very valid point.
Speaker 2:At later night, I think some people have turned it into a drifting roundabout.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh so the one on Collison Oum, they got that. It's a gang. I'm going to go ahead and tell you it's a gang. It's like 12 little tiny cars with fins on the back. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, and they go and they make the little circle and then come back around and then they turn around on Collison Oum and y'all can see my fingers. Yeah, they do like this again. Yeah, they make the little thing again.
Speaker 1:I've seen the marks. I've seen the marks in the roundabout and I've seen the marks in Collison Oum. You can see the loop.
Speaker 5:Yeah, coming back, yeah, coming back on the Collison Oum yeah, it's a bunch of little fast and furious cars.
Speaker 2:Ah, yeah yeah, we talked a lot of things. I guess we'll have to wait for the rest of that till next week. Yeah, thank y'all for turning into the R2RO show on Planet Radio 106.7.
Speaker 4:Remember, ladies and gentlemen, spay and neuter somebody else's pets that you don't like.
