But we can cover that.
Let's open gun safety.
This is what happened a couple years ago.
I don't know if I should tell people.
You know what?
Fuck it, I don't care.
Alright guys, welcome to Dudes Like Us.
It's March 21st, the second half of a fantastic lineup that we've got going on.
The first half was off the hook, man.
Can you imagine we didn't talk about politics at all?
I know.
It's very rare.
And we kind of came into it going, what are we going to talk about?
Accordingly, the second half will be nothing but politics.
No, no we're not.
Actually, there's nothing to talk about really, because it's all the same stupid bullshit.
It's the same bullshit.
It really is.
It's so cyclical.
Yeah, I mean they're trying to arrest Trump, and Biden's an idiot, and we're giving him
the dollars to Ukraine, and Putin and Xi from China are colluding for world dominance.
And then there's more examples of woke, woke, woke, woke, woke.
Yeah, man, what is woke?
It's all the same old shit, man.
Well, the thing is, they're trying to get the conservatives by saying you can't even define woke.
Woke is?
I think it's political correctness.
Well.
Woke is finding a fault in anything without holding yourself accountable.
That's woke.
I mean, that's a good question.
How do we define woke?
I saw actually a definition of it today.
It was pretty good.
I need to find that.
But that's kind of how they're trying to defeat the whole woke bad narrative that is going
on out there, because it's bad.
I mean, everything is ridiculous.
It's a negative, yes.
Well, they had a, was a, Jen Balsakie had her first debut show on, I think yesterday,
and excuse me, I mean, she brought up, I believe, woke and trying to define it.
And, you know, and then it was, you know, they're kind of say, well, there's, there's,
there's several versions of, you know, the Democrats think woke is this and the Republicans
think woke is that, you know, I look at it from the perspective or an analogy of if you're
a Karen, you're woke and a Karen is finding frivolous things to complain about that don't
have any merit in the real world.
You know, it's like kids roller skating down the street or, you know, or getting bent out
of shape for them rollerblading or roller skating on a sidewalk or somewhere.
You know, there's a time and place for everything.
And there's a, there's always a better way to handle things.
And don't, don't be that person.
You know, there's woke people that are, you know, do you, do you talk about these people
that want to define, Hey, look, I'm going to identify as they, them?
Well, that's just stupid.
That's not woke.
You know, you know, seriously, that's just stupid.
You know, that that's ignorance and that's not even woke.
That's just stupid.
You know, if you want to identify, if you're female biologically and you want to identify
as a male and you identify as a he, him, well, you know what?
That has some merit.
You know, if you want to walk around as a, as a dude and you're actually a female, you
know, I'll give it to you.
It makes sense.
If you're really a dude and you think you're a female, you know, I'll respect it because
I don't give a shit.
If you look like a dude and you're, you know, you're out there playing golf with me and,
or, you know, and are doing, you know, just doing dude things.
It's called cross-dressing.
Whatever.
I'm just saying, you know, I would be like, Hey, I'm hanging out with my guy friends.
It's not a big deal.
I'm just in a circle for forever.
Oh, yeah.
I'm forever.
I mean, it's actually, it's actually referenced in the Bible.
Yeah.
That's what's going on.
But I think the difference, the 13th warrior was, was supposed to be a cross-dressing male.
I don't know.
But the difference is, is it's, it's jumped a level where that says it's normal.
No, it's biology.
It's going against biology where men can be women and women can be men, which means men
can have babies, which means I'm a man.
Now can I have a baby?
You don't have a room.
That's what you cross the line.
That's what I said.
That's what the difference is these days.
That's what they're trying to say.
I am a man.
Yeah, you're not.
I am a woman because I think I am.
Therefore I am.
No, you are not.
You still have a dick, whether you cut it off or not.
You don't have ovaries.
You don't have a uterus.
You don't have any of that shit in there.
I think the best analogy was...
We found a rare thing that triggers Jeff.
It just pisses me off.
It's so illogical.
It is illogical.
The best analogy I found was those, the little photo of the pizza hut and the pizza hut closed
and it turned into a chop chow mein or whatever.
It says that it doesn't matter what it is.
It will always be a pizza hut.
You always knew what it was.
Yeah.
It's like, come on, man.
You know?
Yeah.
You've got some trans dude and, oh, what's that bitch's name that was with Adam Sandler?
Oh my God.
Who?
Blonde girl.
Drew Barrymore?
Drew Barrymore.
She was on her talk show.
Oh, I see.
And she gets on her hands and knees.
Oh, I saw that.
And look, look, look.
I listened to the thing.
And what she was talking about, it was sincere.
All right?
But it doesn't matter because it was sincere coming from her about her.
But when you tied into what that guy is and he, if you want to identify as a female because
you're a guy and you're doing that, whatever, but you're still, these guys are talking about
putting ketchup in their underwear to synthesize, you know, a period.
Yeah, they freeze.
They freeze ketchup that they're putting in there.
They freeze ketchup and they shove the frozen capsules up their asshole.
So when it melts, it simulates bleeding.
It's retarded.
You're being a hundred percent serious right now.
One hundred percent serious.
Okay.
Yeah.
And why do you know that?
Okay.
That was, that's an excellent question too.
That's actually probably better than my question.
No, I just, you know, but.
Yeah.
No, I heard the same thing.
I have no words.
I heard the same thing.
And that's just it.
Now that is, to me, that is kind of what the woke program is all about.
It's silly.
That's trying to act like something you're not.
It's taking an irrational notion and it's like, it's just, it's just not real.
You know, I don't care.
If you want to walk around like a male or a female, if you want to walk around as the
opposite sex, okay, fine.
You feel better about yourself walking around in the skin of the opposite sex.
I'm not going to fault you for that.
I mean, I think it's a little weird, but you know what?
I'm still going to respect you.
I'm not going to treat you any different.
I'm going to be really nice to you and cordial, blah, blah, blah.
I don't care because at the end of the day, I don't give a fuck.
However, don't come to me and say, you know, you need to take a couple days off because
it's that time of month.
No, just not fucking happening.
It's not so much that I'll do it.
Let me finish that analogy and see if you agree with me.
It's more today is fly the trans flag day and you choose not to.
Oh, well, and now you're a now they heap, heap, heap on you.
Right.
So everything you said up to that point was perfect.
Right.
Do what you want to do.
If you know, however, you know, I'm going to respect you, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But don't make me.
Yeah.
Don't make me fly the trans flag day.
Right.
And then if I don't, I'm I'm an asshole.
Like I'm a racist and Marxist and all these crazy things that they call people.
Right.
They attack.
Right.
And that's what they do.
And they make and they make all of us fearful to reciprocity.
That's right.
We're going to get we're fearful not to go along with it.
Because we don't want to be labeled any of these things.
That's like the San Jose sharks goalie.
That's right.
You know, refuse to wear the the the gay pride jersey.
There you go.
You know, during practice, and they attacked it.
It doesn't matter.
The reason why it doesn't have to be for religion.
They want to force the issue.
They want full acceptance.
And if you don't, you are against us.
No, I just don't care.
And I'm not and you can't force your beliefs on me.
It's just like a religion.
Like you said, yes, I'm not whatever.
Jewish, Muslim, Catholic.
I don't believe it.
Don't force it on me.
Right. Right.
I will come to my own conclusions myself.
Right. And if I convert, I convert.
And seriously, that is the difference.
That's the difference.
I think people have these people have been around forever.
Like it's like a religion these days.
I mean, it's no different than anything else.
I mean, like we all have weird things that we do, things that we like, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But but I mean, you know, I'm not going to call you a racist because you're not you're not a Tennessee Titans fan.
You know what I mean?
I'm not going to I'm not going to you know what I mean?
I'm not going to call you.
I'm not a homophobe because I don't want a trans person.
It doesn't even to be trans.
What is it?
The drag queen.
I don't want a drag queen reading stories to my kid.
Right.
How are you going to explain that?
Right. And that is hate.
Like now they're saying, come on, your reaction to saying you don't want that is makes you like that's the way they get you.
That's the same.
See that.
It's like what if I don't like chicken sandwich?
What if I don't like chicken?
What if I don't like pizza?
You know, if I don't like pizza, my point is Tennessee Titans.
It's like it's like if you don't agree with me.
Oh, God.
You are all these things.
You're heaping on all these names.
Or it could be the opposite.
So if you're like if you're a Tennessee Titan, you'd be like, oh, well, you must be a pussy.
Right. Right.
Then you start heaping stuff on me for liking the Tennessee Titans.
Right.
I mean, but you see my point is just so ridiculous.
I mean, you can't win against that argument.
No.
And that's the point.
You're not meant to.
You're meant to be shamed into compliance.
The problem that we're getting is that you got California that has made it a law to identify people as a he or she.
And you it's like I can't go up to a police officer and say, hey, that dude, that guy just fucking hit me in the head with a hammer.
And he goes, oh, my God, I'm not a guy.
I don't associate by he.
Oh, sir, you just broke the law.
He misgendered me.
And then they arrest you.
Yeah, exactly.
Right.
Retarded.
Totally. I agree.
It's totally stupid.
That's happening up in Canada.
We talked about that where the kid got arrested for refusing to acknowledge.
Correct or misgendering or whatever the scenario was in Canada.
That's against the law.
It was a Christian student that that was sticking to his guns about there being only a male and a female.
Correct.
And they arrested him and refute.
And he tried to come back to school and they called the cops on him and arrested him and yanked him off the campus.
That's a law.
Is that a public school?
Like, wasn't even like a public school, I don't know, might have been a Christian school.
I don't know.
That's the other crazy thing.
Christian schools are now cracking down on people that that don't think that, you know, aren't as the part,
you know, there's more genders is what has the pope weighed in on this.
I don't know.
I have no idea.
Well, I tell you what the pope, I mean, he's a fairly liberal.
Oh, he's exceptionally liberal.
I mean, there are conservative Catholics that are very upset with this pope.
Kiss Jesus.
But I'm talking about like they're changing changing rules to where now priests don't have to be celibate.
Oh, really? I didn't know that.
Yeah, that just came up like last week.
It's like, oh, really?
OK.
And so they're going to start allowing, you know, priests to be married in the Catholic Church.
They're going to start allowing this.
Is that because they're finding it harder and harder to find priests?
That might be.
So they're like, OK, we need to they're finding it harder and harder to find heterosexual priests that will commit to that.
No, I think it's a matter of that could be.
But I think it's a matter of they see their enrollment just like the military.
Right. You have to have continue enrollment to backfill.
Right. So I think their enrollment to become into theology school or whatever you want to call it is way down.
So they have to go, OK, we need to make this a little more attractive.
A lot of guys these days don't want to be celibate the rest of their lives when they're 20.
Yeah, no, I get it. Right.
I mean, it's no different.
We talked about this a while ago.
It's like HR departments and corporations are changing the rules about, you know, what you know, what they're trying to make the work environment because they're trying to attract the top talent for millennials and for Generation Z.
I mean, they're saying, you know, you know, I mean, they're changing all the guidelines and the standards because they want to attract the top talent because that's what these kids are expecting.
That's what they're wanting.
They want to go to the Google.
What does this happen?
When did this happen about the priest get married being celibate?
This is this last week.
They're considering changing some sort of rule about hasn't happened yet.
No, I think they're considering it.
So it says here advocacy group founded and formally led by a manual malingo, a former Catholic bishop from some some Bob Zambia MPN is a liberal Catholic organization called for relaxing the rules concerning marriage in the Latin Churches priesthood.
Okay, well, that's marriage.
This one was just talking about being celibate.
So, I mean, I don't I'm hoping I mean, you're not supposed to have, you know, sex outside of marriage in the in the in the Christian faith.
But I don't know.
I don't know where they're going, but I will tell you that it is it is a often talked about thing about how liberal this pope is.
So I don't know.
But anyway, so yeah, I don't care either.
I don't care either.
That's the thing.
Why do they?
I mean, I understand that they need to live in the church and you know, I understand based on like the sixteen hundreds of stuff like that.
They it was a it was a fraternity, you know, where essentially in you know, they needed these guys to be alone and not to be distracted and to focus on the Lord.
However, you know, you got to think what's really going on over there.
You know, I mean, think about it.
I mean, you know, I mean, you know, there's there's deviant behavior in every walk of life and there is no I'm looking at it from at a different lens here.
OK, so I'm going to bring up Woody Harrelson Saturday Night Live talking from, you know, just making a joke about the vaccine and the cartels.
I'm going to do something similar with religion a little bit.
You know, it's just like you just think about it.
You got all these Catholic churches all over the planet.
Yes. And they're essentially collecting money to give to the pope.
I mean, a portion of it goes to the pope, but the vast majority of it goes to the local parish.
Well, OK. But yes, it just seems to me like it's a huge racket.
Well, it depends on, you know, you have to know what they're doing with that money, but you never do.
Well, I mean, it's no different than the church I go to.
Right. I mean, lots of people are giving lots of money.
And it takes money to run programs.
It takes money to run gas.
You got buildings. You got to be.
No, no, no. I'm talking about ministries.
Yeah. I mean, yes, you got your standard costs of running, running the building and all that kind of stuff.
But you also have ministries that you're that you're running ministries to help people with addictions,
ministries that help young couples make sure they're ready for marriage.
I get it. But there's a ton of ministries that you run.
You're you're you're you're sending money somewhere.
And that, too, that rubs me wrong.
Just a little bit that, you know, when it just to me, it's like a pyramid scheme.
It kind of it just seems to me like he's like the head mafia guy taking 10 percent for the big guy.
And you're talking explicitly about the Catholic.
But it's like it goes deeper than that.
It's just like, you know, the the churches, they're tax free, so they don't have to pay taxes.
Right. Well, no religious entity does.
Well, I didn't say Catholic. I just it just churches.
They don't have to pay taxes. I think that's bullshit.
Well, let's think.
So that money has been donated to them.
They don't. It's not for profit. Right.
So the money that they're given is has been taxed.
So why should a church be taxed again?
All right. So, OK, I get it.
There are other things that the churches do to generate money, sort of these glamorous.
Up and coming churches that have these glorified, quote unquote, donation Starbucks when you walk into the door.
Hi, I'd like an espresso double frappe, fucking decaf party with brown sugar.
So these non-denominational churches.
That'll be that'll be eighteen dollars and twenty eight cents.
And thank you for your donation. All right.
OK, hold on. So you're saying these are are are these are coffee shops being run by churches?
These are coffee shops that are in the foyer of the church collecting, quote unquote, donations that don't pay taxes.
Fuck you. Bullshit.
Call it what you want. But I mean, the church I go to just gives out coffee for free.
Well, I get it. I don't know who's doing that.
I'm not saying they're all really. You don't know.
Open your eyes, brother. You and I went to the same.
Hold on, did we? I don't. Yes, we did.
We yeah, we did. We went to you and I went to a Bible study where they had that out in the front.
Well, you know, it doesn't matter. They do is what I'm saying.
Sure. They have they have these these concessions stands out in the front.
And when you everybody's looking for ways to to have people donate money.
Sure. I don't have an issue with that. OK. But it's not a matter of donation.
I mean, these are run like businesses. To me, it just rubs me wrong.
I just think that you look if you're going to donate, great.
That donation that you make should be tax free because it's a donation and it's a good feeling.
And that's what you should do.
However, there's infrastructure in there that's totally, you know, it's a racket.
I don't think you know what? I don't treat it any differently than a charity.
Right. You got you got charities that that are, you know, they're tax free, right?
Nonprofits, charities or nonprofit. Correct.
And they and they have all sorts of fundraising things that they do.
They have balls and galas. Yep. And they and people donate money.
And then and guess what? There are charities that screw you.
Like for every. Oh, yeah. There are every hundred dollars for every hundred dollars that is donated to them.
One dollar goes to the cause. That's why I always hated what I worked at.
I don't remember where I was at. They forced you to donate to United Way.
You could either you could either do it to United Way or there's one other way.
You could do it through a company, through the company, it says, oh, and they have big fundraisers and drives.
Hey, we have United Way is going to come and they're bringing in lunch based on your salary.
Come down and pledge. Yeah. Based on your salary, you should be giving this.
Oh, yeah. And they were they were pressuring pretty hard, especially especially if you were in leadership.
Right. If you were a manager or senior manager or director, you were expected.
You were expected to donate to these United Way. Big dollar.
I don't I don't know. I shouldn't I shouldn't dog United Way. But they there are people that kind of watch these nonprofits and they report.
I mean, they they publish these reports that say, you know, out of a dollar, how much of that dollar goes to the cause.
So it's very small. It's in a lot of them is incredibly small.
And you know what, Sean, I'm not going to disagree with you. I think there are churches.
There are churches that fall into the same category. You see them spending money on private jets for their that's my bullshit.
They're bullshit. They're, you know, maybe a church. Right.
Yeah. That creepy dude that was, you know, some, you know, talking about, you know, I had to buy that that million dollar plane.
It was so cheap. I had to buy it. Right.
Or that was God was that what God was calling me to to use that plane to reach more people.
And so I could change more hearts and I'm thinking, really, I think I can't fly coach. Right.
Do the same thing. Yeah. And you know what?
The vast majority of priests do exactly that. That's the problem.
Pastors and priests, they get a bad name because this jackass who's on TV, you know, he's flying around on a private jet.
They're there. It's in every organization. It's all the politics, too.
I mean, the way they generate their money, donate to my cause.
And, you know, it's every it's a red cross. It's every every organization out there.
But you know why? Because human nature. Well, it's human nature.
It's money and power corrupt. That's why you have these guys that are at the churches that are collecting them.
What is that little the pan that the donation time? What is it?
The tithe, right? You mean when they donate money, they pass around a dish to communion time, you know.
Oh, in the Catholic Church. Yeah. When they hand around the little tithing, isn't it?
No, tithing. The word tithing is giving 10 percent of your salary to the church.
But they have the oh, it's called. Yeah.
It's when they pass the little guys, the guys that that run that program.
I mean, I have heard hundreds and hundreds of times those guys that run those programs are busted for stealing.
Skimming to skimming. Yeah, it's easy.
Taking money out of the basket. Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Awful. Yeah, there's one. There's a church in South Irving.
I was I was installing a sound system up there and I met some guy up there that he was like the leader of one of these groups.
And yeah, there's several groups within the church that do certain functions.
So I met him out there. He was like, yeah, we need the sound system changed.
These speakers changed out and we need a new sound board over here that might need up.
So I started installing a bunch of stuff and and then I go out back out there the next week to continue the work.
And the guys say, looks, it was St.
Luke's in South Irving and they were like, oh, that guy's not here anymore.
They found out he was stealing thousands and thousands of dollars every week.
Really? Yeah. Just skimming off the top. That's just sick.
You know, they pass around the plate, you know, put your money in there and he would he would make all the guys offering.
Yeah. Now it's called something else, but it's it is an offering.
But but there's another word that they were saying, but maybe it is an offering, you know, but it doesn't matter.
But whatever it is, he was my point is that there are so many broken links in the chain.
Anywhere, though, dude. I mean, that's human. Yeah.
But I just power and money corrupt. I still believe it rubs me wrong that they get a free pass on the taxes.
You know, why do they get a free pass? I mean, why?
You know what? Can dudes like us be a church? Sure.
We can be a nonprofit. Yeah. Not a church, but we'd be a nonprofit.
We could be a nonprofit where we don't have to. We want to make money.
I'd rather make money. Yeah. If you don't pay taxes, we have a nonprofit. Is that right?
You don't pay taxes if you're a nonprofit. I believe you have to be.
Was the one see your father once I was three five or three be the IRS comes after you.
Right. So, yeah, I mean, I mean, that's there no different than nonprofit charities.
And nonprofit charities are no different than churches when it comes to corruption.
Yeah. Well, whatever. I don't want to beat that up too much.
It's just, you know, it's fresh for my mind. It just kind of bugs me.
But here's the thing. They don't I mean, churches. I mean, I know we should talk about it, but churches don't make money.
People donate money to their cause. I disagree.
So I disagree. And here's why I say I disagree, because you got those pompous ash up and coming churches.
And I say it like that because it's the same strain of church that they got.
Oh, I got this fucking twenty million dollar car out in the front. Look what it is.
I got this. Oh, yeah. This twenty million dollar construction thing because we're going to be doing this.
We're going to be doing that. We're going to buy it. We're going to save money.
We've got I got a I got a fifty thousand dollar Corvette over here.
I got this and you got it lined up like a goddamn Price is Right show. Right.
And I'm like, what the fuck is this? You know, why aren't they paying taxes if they're doing shit like that?
Who the fuck is this guy? Right. Yeah.
You know what you're talking about? You're talking about corrupt mega mega church like the Jim Baker.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Jim's swagger.
I don't know if Joel, whatever his name is. I don't know if he's corrupt.
I heard some negative spin for Reverend was just tipped in tip in the Tilted Tilted.
Those guys are out there and they're always going to be out there.
I mean, you just have to trust, you know, you have to trust that that for the for the most part,
churches around the country and the world are doing doing what's right in terms of shepherding the spiritual health of their other parishioners.
All right. I mean, that's what it boils down to. And some of them don't.
There's a there's a documentary on HBO about a a church in Tennessee and it was run by a lady.
I can't remember what it is. And it was it was part could be could be Lawrence walk.
Right. And it is she got her start back in the I think late 80s.
She wrote a diet book based around church doctrine and stuff. And it did extremely well.
A diet like food like losing weight. OK.
And I'm trying to figure out whether this is HBO Max documentary.
And this lady, it kept growing and growing and growing.
And it's the Gwen Shamblin. Yes.
Look at you. Anyway, I recommend it.
It's fascinating because on the surface, it looks like any other church. Right.
Little, little strange. Right. Because a lot of it is geared toward weight loss.
And they expected their parishioners to lose weight. OK.
No one can be fat. Exceptionally weird. Yeah, she died.
God couldn't care less if you're fat or skinny. Right.
Well, actually, that's not true. This was this was that this was baked into their their belief,
their core belief. Anyway, this lady is a was a nut job.
Watch this documentary and it's going to make you lose all faith and people.
You're just like what I think of and because they're interviewing parishioners and all brain.
They even go. I know a lot of people are going.
How could you get wrapped up in this? Yeah.
How could you not see through the bullshit? Yeah.
I was just a normal person working my normal job.
And they said the right thing at the right time.
Well, that's no different than David Koresh.
That's no different than Scientology.
Well, the church is still going. That's no different.
Yeah, that's no different than than any charismatic person who who who's a HBO special.
Yeah, I recommend it. It's fascinating.
And what's what's interesting down? God greed in the cult of a Gwynne Shamp.
Well, that's the greed. Yeah. How many cults have we heard about?
Well, that's the greed part is what made me think about it, because she lived in this mansion.
Right. And had planes and dumped her husband, married another guy, tried to steal someone's daughter.
And she ended up her her new husband got his new pilot and they were flying to CPAC down in Miami to go see Trump.
They crash and they crash into a lake.
Damn. They all died. Oh, like recently. Yeah.
I see Trump like 2020, 2021, 2021 is when she died.
Damn. Just outside of sixty six years old. So I got to hear that hair.
Oh, my God. It's like a Jimmy. She's a free popcorn hair.
She's a freak look at the way her hair is. They talk about that. Her hair is.
And she looks terrible. But they're like, yeah, no one could tell her.
Oh, yeah. But oh, I would have told her. But those lips got plus anyway.
Anyway, if you can watch it, I recommend it. It's fascinating.
Maybe Mr. Gwen Shamblin, Lara. You know, you know, it's frustrating.
To me, it seems pretty simple to recognize where a church leader and where a church has gone, gone sideways.
It's really not that hard to see. You know what I mean? Yep.
I mean, you I can also it's like you can you can get lost unbeknownst to yourself in the the it's like an addiction.
You know, you don't realize it's like, you know, when we go out and start drinking, you know, we don't realize until you like, oh, I'm drunk.
Right. You know, like, oh, my God. And then you power through that and you're like.
I'm wasted. Well, that's kind of what a lot of the people said that and some of their doctrine was the kids have to obey their parents regardless, or any anyone older than them.
So they would have like all the kids would come and like other kids would watch because they're older.
Technically, it could be a 12 year old watching a slew of eight year olds. Right.
And whatever that 12 year old said, you had to obey. Right. If you didn't. Well, there is repercussions.
And actually, there are two prisoners who killed their kid because they're beaten them and stuffed them in a little chest.
And he died. And they're insane. The church supported them.
That it's just insane. Got the lawyers and everything.
So anyway, if you could see it. So one of the one of the stories Jeff is referring to as a person, but Joseph and Sonia Smith were in here in inheritance of the Shamblin
and had an eight year old son, Joseph Sonia Joseph routinely disciplined him, beating him with a foot with foot long glue sticks, belts and heated coat hangers, locking him in confined spaces for extended periods of time.
Yes, she she recommended glue sticks because they were pliable enough. They didn't leave the big bruises like something else would, I guess.
Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah, I mean, I have heard of, you know, chastisement. Right. I mean, there is a certain age.
There is a certain up to a certain age that you are supposed to, you know, supposed to correct your children with, you know, not necessarily beating them.
But, you know, there you swap them. Right.
Of course, correcting. Right. Right. Right. But not after but not after a certain age. Like my understanding is, you know, we took all sorts of parenting classes when we first had our first kid and all that kind of stuff.
You know, if you are, if you're not supposed to be physical with your kids after like five or six years old, but up until that age, you know, it's okay to spank them to teach them, you know, to teach them, you know, right and wrong.
And yes, you're not supposed to use anything that could harm them. Like, you know, our parents used to like wooden spoons. Right. My dad would roll up a magazine. Yeah.
I my father, you know, is just one time, but he hit me hit me with a, you know, like a stick, like a board, you know, that hold on. Yeah. I think that's very two different things.
So it was like a two by four. Okay. Well, I'll go ahead and tell the story because it's actually kind of funny fucking Lincoln log. You know, you know how in in the north you have the sliding doors, right? The back doors. Correct. Is like a sliding door.
Well, and you talk about like the pajamas, pajamas, patio door, back doors, like a patio door, like a patio door, sliding door. And then you would put like a stick down there to keep it locked. Right. Well, I had misbehaved and my father took that stick.
And it's the right, you know, it's perfect size. Right. It's it's meant for the sliding door. It's meant for an ass whooping. He came. Yes. But he was chasing me with it and I was running upstairs and he went to swap me and it hit the top of my head and broke.
And he was so upset because that was his sliding door. You know, now it doesn't work as a sliding door. It didn't hurt me at all. Right. It just cracked. I went here. Yeah. Cracked. Oh, no. God. No. No. I ran to my ran to my bedroom and hidden there for what probably seemed like a week.
But it was probably like an hour. Right. Anyway, but my point is, you know, you're yeah, you're supposed to spank with something pliable. Right. Something that causes a sting. But but can never get a break the skin. Anything. My dad get fine. I mean, he's cracked me over the head with a fucking with a with a broom once. Right. Just crowned me six digits.
You know, nowadays, you know, parents are terrified to to to to touch their kids, to spank their kids. I mean, if they're in the grocery store and they and they swap their kid on the but they get reported for for child abuse. It's absolutely insane. You know, you know, I'm going to wrap this up with with this whole church thing. And it's just like I want to support churches. You know, I grew up going to church. I don't go to church anymore for my own reasons, which I've explained in some prior podcasts. But at this point, you know, I'm not going to go to church anymore.
At this point, you know, I have like currently with my job, I deal with churches a lot. And it's it's frustrating because of all the people that the customers, I should say that I take care of and try to do a really good job to take care of them.
Churches are the like the worst, the hardest, the hardest to work with. They're they're hard to work with because it's like it's it's like they want everything for free.
They want more than they're supposed to get. You know, well, why can't I get this? I was like, well, because it's not covered or, you know, it's just like, you know, it's like I'm doing one right now where they're claiming something happened to.
They're claiming that the concrete got damaged from water.
Okay. There is an oil based epoxy on top of concrete oil based. I wonder if it's because they I mean, I know this is going to be contrary to what you've been saying, but maybe they're a little more sensitive about the money.
So they are trying to get as much as they can possibly get. But that falls into under conniving. You know, I mean, I know that's not right. It's it's absolutely not right.
So they're trying to get something that they don't deserve. And I'm like, dude, come on. I mean, if this were any other place, I mean, I mean, I got an engineer out there and they were just like, it's oil based.
You know, if that coating is coming up and it's only a year old, it has nothing to do with water.
But think about it from their perspective. All the money they get is donated to them. So if they don't get this claim to where, you know, it's completely covered, they are going to have to ask for more money from their parishioners or they're going to have to just eat it.
I don't care. Well, I know. I know you don't care, but I'm just I'm trying to put myself in the shoes of a nonprofit or church.
But the problem I have with that is that I don't care. I mean, nobody should care. I get it. They're asking for it's like, OK, look, I dropped a 12 pack of beer on the ground. Right. Why do I have to give you a case back? Right.
No, no, no. I mean, come on, man. Fairness is fairness. Right. And it's just it. And look, it's just it's not just that church. It's like almost all of them that are like this. It's the same thing with all of them. It is sad. You know, it's just like, you know, and they get some of their buddies in there.
And it's it's just it gets conniving. And I never used to think like this. I think I think there are some things in life where your job has made you a little more skeptical of churches because of your experience.
We don't have that. And old ladies. Yeah. Oh, ladies. Oh, ladies. Right. I have my actually old church ladies, you know, in my work. I have opinions about certain things because I have to work with certain companies and certain things.
And Paul, you same way you got things that you have. You're just like, man, this is bullshit. Right. Right. They're all the same. Yeah. You know, it's whatever. But, you know, I think it's all our experiences. You're exposed to something that you hadn't seen before.
So now you've got some some bad feelings about it. It's like behind the scenes kind of stuff. You know, Paul or I started working with that every day. We may have the same opinion at that point. Right. You know, we don't see it. You do. Yeah, I do.
And I'm having conversations with them. You know, OK, I'll give you one little snippet. OK, there is it doesn't even necessarily need to be about churches. It just so happened to be part of the church. But there is a company out there and they've got do they call it equipment management manager equipment manager.
This is a guy that will wheel in a dehumidifier or box fan or whatever the fuck they need. And his job was to wheel it in and set it up, plug it in the wall, make sure it's aimed the right way, document it and then leave.
Then he comes back, checks moisture readings, make sure everything's aimed still the right way and leave after like three or four or five days after everything's dried. He takes the equipment, removes it, cleans it and then puts it into storage.
All right. Three hundred and forty six dollars and fifty cents an hour. Why is what this guy makes? That's what they're trying to charge.
Oh, the restoration company. Yes. And you're like, no, they were like, well, it was Christmas and the whole time, the whole time the device was there every hour from the from the moment the justice service time, justice service time, just while he was there doing it. So it'd be like a two hour setup time, an hour every day.
And then then like four or five hours at the end to clean everything up, which. It's come on. Right. They're paying that dude fifteen dollars an hour. Shut the front door. Right. You know, come on.
You know, three hundred and forty six dollars and fifty cents in. You know what? They get away with it. Right. The carrier will end up paying for that stuff sometimes. And it's so to me that it's not. That's the reason why. And that's that is a microcosm of the of the reasons why our insurance is so high.
Right. Is that the I believe that the insurance realm is falling into this this thing where they're starting to pick up the tab on all this shit because there's so much pushback. You got public adjudged. You got all these entities that are pushing back and and filing these lawsuits against the insurance companies.
And they're scared. Right. They're just like, fuck man, we have to bend a little bit or we're going to get screwed in the long run. It's no it's no different than the medical system. Yeah.
I mean, look how much they charge for some of these drugs. I mean, yes, it's all the same. It's all a racket. It's all a racket because everybody there's so many hands in the pot and everybody's making their making the bank.
You know what I mean? Everybody. It's just it's a racket. We hear about some of these drugs. There's an Alzheimer's drugs. That's ten thousand dollars a month. Why on? Seriously? Doesn't work. Why? I don't know. I mean, I don't know.
Why would it cost ten thousand dollars a month? You know, a lot a lot of times people tell me, you know, when you go to the doctor and you see the doctor for forty five seconds and then you it's one hundred and forty dollars for seeing them for forty five seconds.
You know, you're not paying them for the time that they spent with you. You're paying them for their expertise and schooling. I paid them the previous three years for that.
I agree. I agree. But that's what people kind of rationalize that they're like you're playing for their expertise and stuff like that. So I don't know if that's you know, and I think it's I think that's BS personally.
You know, but but you know, maybe that's you know, for it for a restoration company to stay in business and for them to invest all the capital in all the equipment that it takes to dry the walls and blow the little fans and have a dude and have I know I know I know what I'm saying.
I don't agree with what I'm saying, but you see where I'm going with this. Yeah. You're playing devil's advocate and I get it. But it's still it's still bullshit. You got to think about it.
That three hundred four who makes that much money. Lawyers don't make that much money. Doctors don't make that much money.
You know, sure as hell do. Lawyers do. Oh, I'm just saying, look, think about it. Well, I'm OK. Maybe that was a bad analogy.
But I think about like electricians, plumbers, you know, guys that are masters, master plumbers, last year electricians, they don't make that much money. No. Why is this dude out of high school charging three hundred forty six dollars and fifty cents now to go there?
Was that are you saying that happens like every time somebody comes out with a restoration company or that was a bullshit claim that you had to know?
No, not every time that was one off some guy trying to get away. It happens a lot. It happens a lot and it usually happens with mitigation companies.
You know, these guys, you know, I just especially during the holidays. Well, it anytime, anytime there's a catastrophe, you know, in the word, the word that I'm driving at is gouging.
Yeah. OK. It's against the law to gouge. Right. All right. So when you take a catastrophe and you charge two and three and five times the amount of money that you would during the normal time, you know, you can't. That's against the law.
It's called gouging. Yep. And that's exactly what they're doing. So why don't they respect that word gouging? Because that's what they're doing.
Well, how do you report someone like that? Well, I just deny it. I mean, I mean, first of all, I don't have the authority to deny anything.
My job is to report back to the care of the carriers and just say, you recommend.
I make my recommendations. Hey, look, this is what we found, you know, based on what we believe it is likely that it should cost about this much to we don't know where the fuck they got that number from.
But this is how much it should cost, we believe, you know, and then, you know, then they they will make their decision.
It's been overturned a lot lately, especially in its your recommendations. You mean when our rec? Yes.
When especially when it's like a really high claim, like if it's a five hundred thousand dollar one or higher, you know, it's just like they want it.
They want it. They're afraid to to to rock the boat, you know, and I asked I asked these people specifically like the the the guys that are my mentors, you know, and the guys that are training me and even their mentors, you know, to to really understand the spirit of what's going on behind that.
And they just, you know, it all boils down to like, yeah, they're just scared. They don't want to be sued. You know, it's going to cost them less money to keep this out of courts than to just pay them to.
That's the whole premise of frivolous lawsuit settlements. That's why people bring these frivolous lawsuits.
They know that a company is more willing to pay out two hundred thousand dollars than to spend six hundred thousand dollars fighting fighting the the the the lawsuit in court. Correct.
Well, it's also so that's what they do. They went ahead and they just file these things hoping to get settlements.
It's kind of kind of like the insurance companies. I just read an article about these EVs and we may have talked about this where insurance companies are jacking up the insurance premiums for battery cars, electric vehicles, because because in ten years.
No, because they have to total cars who have very minimum damage to it because if the because if the battery case has a scratch on it, they have to total the car because they have to replace the whole battery for twenty thousand dollars.
Right.
Because the EV companies, all the car companies will not allow these insurance companies to see the diagnostics to see if the batteries are still good and they don't want to take the risk to say this battery is good.
Then something happened. So what they do is they total the car. It may have two thousand miles on it and a scratch on the bumper scratch, but it did something to maybe it scratched the casing of the battery.
Right. Everything inside is one hundred percent fine. They don't know that.
Wonder if there's a way to convert those cars. They can't test it. So they say a lot of these electric vehicles are getting totaled very low mileage and they're starting to line up in these junk yards and they're removing the batteries and they're having to stick them in these containers because they don't have anywhere to put them.
Yeah. And didn't you say that that that the battery the batteries have a life shelf life.
Sure. Yeah. Yeah.
And so people are. And what what what is the shelf life like 10 years 15 years.
Well I think it's by mileage right by by charges as well.
So I mean don't people know is it is it a secret that that when you buy a Tesla you should expect to spend fifteen thousand dollars replacing the battery pack people don't think about after 10 years.
Is that true though. Is that true.
And well until the batteries get better. Yeah.
I mean because I've had my car since 2006.
Yeah. So you're telling me you're telling me that if if that had been an EV car I would have had to have spent 10 to 15 thousand dollars for a new battery for a new battery.
The every Tesla that that I see on the road electric car facing this is a fruitless venture.
I think electric cars is a is a is something cool that you know some people should have you know not everyone. And I don't think people should use it all the time.
I just it's a novelty electric cars because at the end of the day at the end of the year at the end of the world fossil energy is the way to go period.
I mean it's it costs it costs so much to harvest the materials.
We're not there yet for for batteries. It's just it's ridiculous compared to fossil fuels.
Absolutely. And at the end of the day again you are you have a less of a carbon footprint using the regular standards to to get the fossil fuels.
Right. Well they say that you have to drive the electric vehicle tens of thousands of miles to negate the footprint that it created when they created the car plus to get the batteries to get the batteries and the creation of the car.
There's like you have to drive it 80,000 miles. I made that number up 80,000 miles before you get that paid off.
You even like get back to zero.
Right. By that time your batteries during the life of the next 20,000 miles you're going to have to replace it.
But they said what's happening is these cars as they get into these little accidents.
They're not even getting close to that threshold.
So they're like it's actually worse for the environment. These electric vehicles.
For just you know where to store these batteries. Yeah they they don't they don't know what to do with them. Yeah there's they need to launch them into the sun.
Oh yeah. But what if that what if that rocket blows up three miles up. You know you know the cost of building a rocket that goes to the sun would cost you know heavy those batteries would be you stack them in there.
But anyway what a mess. This does that's the problem with all this woke climate change and green energy and all this kind of they don't think about this stuff built.
It's a house of cards. I mean it's it's it's it's phantom.
They said what's happening is well some of the comments I was reading some of the comments as well.
But they said you know there's all these hidden costs that make it like two vehicles very expensive.
Right. And by the way they're being subsidized by the government. Correct. Which means they're not even like you can't even sell them on the market in a regular right.
You know capitalist society model as electric prices keep going up. The cost to charge your vehicles going up. Yep.
The insurance rates are going up because insurance companies are losing their ass on them right now.
So the insurance rates it's going to cost you an arm and a leg to insure these things.
You have to replace the battery and they also well some of the comments were like I think electric vehicles should pay a tax every year because they're not paying the road tax when they buy fuel.
But they're using the same roads we are and they're heavier which makes the roads degrade faster and makes those vehicles more dangerous on the road.
Correct. In wrecks. Right. So they're sleeping while they're driving. No because they're heavy. Oh yeah that too. Right. They're heavy.
They're like they're heavy vehicles with sleeping drivers. Yes. Right. And Elon Musk addressed that. Which breaks the road down faster.
Unbelievable. So they're not paying that road tax the gas tax that everyone else is to keep the upkeep the roads.
To upkeep the roads. So there is there is kind of some arguments going to lay if you have an EV there should be an extra tax at the end of the year a road tax saying we're all paying it.
You should pay it as well. Amazing. Agreed. I mean it's a hefty tax too by the way. Yeah. I mean if you think about gallon how much of that you know you break down the denominations.
Oh a fair a fair amount of it's going to be federal. Yeah. I want to say is it like 40 percent goes to the road. I don't know. I don't know how much it is but it's it's not insignificant.
So it's fascinating when you when you break down everything that goes into it and how it is a bad thing for the environment.
And they said that it's almost impossible. There's very few places who know how to replace the battery. Well what about this. What if they were to take the batteries.
And it's it's probably very labor intensive. Is there is a here ringing. That's my watch. Oh so there's a labor it may be labor intensive but is there a way to repurpose the batteries not necessarily in another vehicle.
But are you able to take those the batteries and chop them up and maybe put them in phones or no that I like lights. I think the best opportunity is to take all those batteries and hook them up to stationary bikes at Jim's.
Yes. Yes. And then all the people that are on the stationary bikes are charging the batteries. So to create a never ending grid backup.
One of the things that I also read this article is the Tesla's new ones that are built down there in Austin. The batteries are part of the structure so they can't even be removed.
They are glued to the structure to give it rigidity. Right. So it's part of the structure. So you can't. So if you get the wreck it's going to damage it even more. Right.
So and you just can't go in there and replace those because they're permanently on there. Yes they've glued them down and they did this. They did this to save money.
Yeah but they know that those batteries at some point are going to need to be replaced. They're passing that to the customer down the road. They saved money building their their car like this.
Elon Musk Elon Musk says we can save how much 10 percent by building our frame and our batteries like this so they're all it's one.
I'm sure it's a it's it's like a cartridge and he know it's no they're not cartridges and he's getting thousands of batteries and he's getting government subsidies to build these cars anymore.
He paid that back. In fact he wasn't even he wasn't even invited to the electric car annual bill. Joe Biden had come up with this electric car electric vehicle the EV place and Elon Musk was saying man I wasn't even invited because he was he would dog Joe Biden in his tweets.
You know that Tesla Tesla stock was booted out of some ESG hedge fund even though it's an electric car company. Right.
They got booted out of the ESG had a too low of an ESG score. Whatever. And that's when Elon Musk was railing on.
Oh man he continues he's kind of like you know we weren't even invited to that that annual EV car thing that Biden created. It is like you know they made like Ford the spokesman. He's like Ford has like one hundred or two hundred cars they put out.
We've have like a hundred thousand were putting out a year and and it was all political. Oh absolutely. Yeah. One hundred percent. Wow.
You know it just he's just like that just shows that he's just like that shows you everything. It's all bullshit. It's all bullshit. It's all politics and show and dog and pony show. That's all it is.
It is. I mean and this whole Trump this whole Biden you know vetoing the ESG.
And it passed both houses both bipartisan bipartisan agreement was I haven't read was his reasoning on why he was saying he was.
Yeah he was saying that the GOP is trying to it is trying to restrict he tried to change. He tried to turn around and say you know they're trying to restrict Americans ability to invest invest in responsible company.
He brought up something about corporate leaders making money is what you talked about. He was sitting on his desk. So pull up the CV pull up videos. He was sitting on his desk. He was fucking whispering painful.
Did you see the footage where the reporters in the White House press room were fighting with each other. Yeah.
It's the it's the African. Yes it's the African. Oh yeah. The guy from from South Africa. Yeah he's been very upset for quite a long time. He's never called on all seven months. Yeah he never gets called on.
Well she doesn't like his tough questions. Right. So yeah she doesn't want to answer and she knows that no one's going to hold her accountable for ignoring him but she still has to call on Doocy from Fox News because they know that that is a the most watched cable television show on TV.
So she has to call on him but she doesn't have to call on the South African dude. Yeah. Yeah crazy. That'd be frustrating. I get it. You're there to do a job and he she knows I'm sure his arms up he has questions and he never gets called on.
And then they were yelling like decorum decorum. You know did you get to watch it. Let's let's watch the the Trump ones when he's that dumb ass who would not sit down. Yes. What was his name.
He wrote a book and everything was about him him. Here's the CNN guy. Yeah I mean about decorum. Come on. Yeah. What was his name. But Trump called on him. He did. But then he wasn't scared.
But then he wanted to this guy wanted to keep asking you want to do you're done. You're done. And he wouldn't he wouldn't he wouldn't give in. Yep.
I remember I can't remember the guy's name though. Such a jackass. What was that guy's name.
Obnoxious. Just look up obnoxious CNN reporter. You'll find it right away. Jim Acosta Jim Acosta. Yeah. Is he still around. Is he doing anything. He is around. Well he has his own show now. I think he's not. He's not. Yeah. He's not a reporter anymore.
I think he's got his own CNN or MSNBC show. But I may be wrong on that. I'm surprised Don Lamont is still. Yeah. His own his own staff was attacking him. And he still managed to. I mean he's a gay black man.
He checks. Yeah I guess I guess he's allowed to do whatever the hell he wants. He checks boxes. Well it's too bad we can't find it. So basically he was he was sitting at the Oval Office at his desk and he was he was he was he was talking about.
His decision and he kind of spoke. Remember when he was sitting in that one meeting where he was talking about. Well God damn it. I fired him or you know I say hey look you have until the end of of today or before my plane takes off the tarmac to find that lawyer.
Right. You know he had the same kind of the way he was talking. Oh the Ukrainian lawyer. Yeah. You know for the the the oil company. Yeah. Burisma. So yeah the lawyer that wanted to go though the attorney general that wanted to go after.
Go is my Ukraine. Click that. That was so corrupt. Well he's well there's a lot of shit right now because they're getting some bank. Oh there is. Click it. Just let that play. They're getting some bank records. Yeah. They're going after the Biden family. See that. That's the picture right there. That's what he was. Well I'm not going to show the video. Well he basically he he talks about it there and elaborates a little bit. But he says it in a creepy creepy way like he's. I know better than you. Yeah. I mean he's a
good guy. Well I mean even like I was saying on the on the five Robert Gutfield or is it a name. Yeah. Gutfield was like you know Greg. Greg Gutfield he was like what does he have a sleeping baby in the room. He what he'd want to talk loud enough or is he loud.
Well were there were there golfers playing through or you can come up with these ideas. Just weird. It is just is there a way you can hit play right there. Just wonder why they won't show this because it's not flattering maybe.
The past Congress would put a risk retirement savings of individuals across the country. They couldn't take into consideration investments that wouldn't be impacted by climate impacted by overpaying executives. And that's why I decided to be told to me.
Yeah. There you go. In a sense that's what it was. The decisions that we're making was it was going to impact the climate and it was going to overpay executives. That's what I got out of that. Yeah.
He's an idiot. Yeah. He was saying he he was blaming the GOP for CEOs richer. Yeah. Preventing Americans from investing in companies that have high ESG scores which those are the companies that are contributing to helping solve the climate
change problem. So he's saying and instead of you know instead of investing in those companies they want to invest in companies that make corporate executives rich.
That's just that anybody who has a brain you make the executives rich you make everyone else right. I'm going to do a 90 degree turn. But anybody who's got a brain.
Hey I'm going camping in April. All right. My birthday is coming up April 1st or April 2nd. I want to go there and get backyard. You can't not quite the same fire pit and you could burn some styrofoam.
No I want to go man. I want to go for I want to drive out there I want to spend the night I want to spend two nights in three days out there.
My April's pretty booked. Well you don't have to go. I want to say I want to go. I want to go. Still going to be it should be cold in April. I want it to be cold. I want to be a little cold. Oh you do. Yeah.
We've decided to do something interesting for the cabin. You know how we've always been talking about hey we're going to Colorado. Yeah. We're going to go up there for two or three weeks and we're going to just invite whoever wants to come at certain times.
Yeah. What is this. Come on up. We're looking at me. Oh well I want to go camping in April. Maybe I'll do something in May.
Going to Vegas in May. Oh why are you going to Vegas. Stephen's 21st birthday. Oh shit. Get ready to drop some bank. Yeah.
Brandon can't go. Those are like eighteen dollar drinks. We were bar hopping in Vegas. They give you this little tiny cup and it's like eighteen dollars a drink.
A lot of the weekends fool.
I've got Stephen's girlfriend has something in April ring dunk. You know what that is.
I don't even think it's more like a weekend. Well we got that's one weekend and then we have the masquerade ball that we're all going to one weekend.
We all. Yes. Like me. Yes. I'm not going to masquerade ball. Yes you are. But why. What's your ticket. Two hundred fifty bucks. I'm not going for you.
Open bar. Oh oh oh what. Yes. OK. Yeah. Am I invited. Yes. Shelly bought tickets. You don't remember all that. Oh I'm going to. Yes.
Who open bar. I'm going. We're all going. Nice masquerade. Look here's the deal. I'm going in April. All right. Period.
I'm sick of it. So I will buy a fucking hammock tent and I will stay out there by myself and Palo Duro Canyon. And yes. OK. I will buy some peyote and get.
You ever done peyote. Never. I have no idea what it is. Peyote. That's like the Indian. It's like a sort of cactus yucca Indian mass. I have no idea.
It's a hallucinogen isn't it. I guess I don't think I'm not doing peyote. I just shrooms just throwing that out there. I'm not. No there's no way I'll do that. Why.
Why. Why go all the way out there. Why not just go to like Lake. Joe Poole. Yeah. Joe Poole Lake. Why can't I go to Palo Duro Canyon. It's like six or five hours.
Now it's four and a half hours. OK. Four and a half hours. I don't have a problem going out to Palo Duro Canyon. OK. I mean I know you've been talking about it for a long time. I'm just saying if you want to do like a camp out somewhere.
Breakman Rats. You could go over. You could go visit the Pygmies at the corner of Main Street and Hillcrest. I want I want to do something but I'm April's tough for me. So weekend wise we need to do this with more things and say this is what we're doing.
Hopefully we have telling you guys. Well I know this is an extended period. This is the first time I've ever heard you talk about your full shit. Well it ain't you're right. It's actually freezing cold. Well no there's it's it's it's five hours and forty seven minutes. Yes.
I was going to say there's so many closer places you can camp like in your backyard in Lake Ray Hubbard. Oh my God. Why can't I go to Palo Duro Canyon. It's like the second largest canyon on the planet next to Grand Canyon. You want to do that by yourself.
You know what if you guys can't make time then I'm going to go. I'm tired of putting it off. Are you hearing this Jeff. He's being all he's laying down an ultimatum here. You don't have to go. This is this is blackmail. I will. You know what.
I've talked to my son. He's my anniversary. I'm actually looking forward to it. Well we just need to figure it out. I need to get all my dates that I'm unavailable in April that try to work something out. I may be busy. We talk about our right whiskey.
Whiskey. Yeah. Do you like it. I hear music. We already talked about the right. Well we've been a hurry up and touch it because I hear music. It is redemption. High Rye Bourbon. So ours is a hundred. It's a Rye Bourbon.
It's not that it's got a little bit of a fight that I I'm not really a fan of has some good good spells. All right there we go. There's the bourbon. Sean what do you think of it real quick. It was OK. It was just OK. You can definitely taste the right. It was definitely right.
It was just OK. I mean it's a give it a five and a half. I mean it's not that this was like a hundred four hundred five. But I mean I'm not mad at it. It just was OK. I agree. It would have been better if it were like one hundred sixteen. I'm going to send that from a proof standpoint. I'm just saying it from a taste perspective.
But you know whatever redemption is redemption is a high quality bourbon. Yeah it is. They have a quite a line. And it's a high Rye Bourbon which we would never ever like before. Right. We're like oh it's the weed bourbon especially on the planet.
Magic. We're starting to explore different options going on. Well Paul why don't you stand. All right. Well thank you for joining us tonight. My name is Paul. Geez. I'm Jeff. Sean. It was terrible. It was terrible. And thank you. It's March 21st. 21st. Second day of spring. God bless. Doesn't feel like spring. That's right. I'm digging it though. This is a good one.
I'm digging it though. This is spring. I don't want to go back. I love the cold. All right. Late.
