Oh my god, it feels seismic.
It feels like the earth is moving.
The clouds are separating.
I feel like the the the the the clap of lightning in the sky and all the just like a storm going
on you know lightning strikes and you you smell that what are you trying to get to?
Yeah Jeff Thor are you like acting like Thor?
Can we start over?
I know I'm trying to get to like this is a monumental moment Paul is rechristening his
liver.
Oh yeah okay all right all right so yeah I'm on day 31 and this is the first drop of of
alcoohol.
He dipped his balls in it first.
I did not dip my balls in there.
Oh you did.
Yeah just one of them.
Just one of them.
Welcome again.
The one that had the zit.
We have a guest tonight.
Oh well first off.
Well I was gonna chat about the whole thing that I heard the earth move under my feet.
No your feet it's this is huge I mean your 31 days is the first time you're stepping
into it's the first podcast in the last couple podcasts where you're like Mr. Wow.
No it's been two weeks because we we worked some wood last Tuesday.
Oh that's right.
Yeah we had we had workshops so we're doing every other we all every other Tuesday with
with workshop until we get back on track as far as at least the production level goes
of the cutting boards and things.
I think we took a quantum leap this past week.
Yeah I shot on that I did anyway.
Was I I was not there at all.
No you were watching pull dark for the sixth time.
Oh although it was funny when Sean was excited about hey who wants to go work in the garage.
You know about 15 minutes later Paul's like hey what needs to happen.
I'm like I'm open.
I'm watching Harry Potter.
Hold on that was Saturday.
If you guys are talking about the last Tuesday I was there.
No this whole weekend.
Yeah I was out of town.
Yeah I was out of town and I showed up late.
I arrived and you had completed one and two thirds letters.
You know how they say you should you should work to your strengths.
It was not my strength.
No it was not.
Well you were and then you worked on a the Facebook stuff that I already told you what
you needed to happen.
Yeah well and then I had to learn I had to learn it for myself.
Yeah correct.
So did you open up a an account.
So we made a decision that we are going to go with the account that's already created.
OK so we just need to until we make money we can we can when we start like bringing
in money then we can go out there and do it.
Actually do we want to talk about this.
It's a dudes like us moment.
I'm Sean.
I'm Paul and I'm Jeff and we have a guest special special.
He's definitely special.
Look at him.
Yeah look at those eyes.
Absolutely special.
Yeah in every way.
You can see music whenever he talks.
Yeah it's terrible like unicorns and angels just like twinkling.
So we considered this is Chad.
This is Chad.
He is my wife's brother.
Or otherwise known as your brother at law.
Right.
Yeah we go.
Yeah.
You got different titles bro.
Yeah.
Bring that around.
Yeah.
It's not special.
It's a lot of responsibility.
Yeah it really is.
I think Paul was just avoiding the whole fact he didn't want to call you brother.
I think that's what it is.
Is that what it was Paul?
No I was just kind of going with you know it's special.
He's special to me because it's my wife's brother.
Anyways so we were talking about you know the bank thing and we're talking about I think
it would be great for us to get the bank account set up and all of us get cards and we're thinking
about even having dudes like us dues instead of going out and buying bourbon every week
we pay X amount of dollars into our dues every week.
Into our kitty.
Whatever it is and we buy the bourbon with the money that's in the account.
Dudes like us piggy bank.
Yeah.
So instead of spending and sending money back and forth through Zelle and stuff we just
say alright how much are we going to spend every week on bourbon and make a commitment
then we can budget it and then it's there.
So every week we put in X amount of dollars and then when we go to the store to go buy
something we find out how much money is in the account.
Like two thousand a month.
And if we need to skip a week to get that extra special bourbon then we skip a week
to get it and then we just go get it.
It's essentially what we're doing anyway right now.
I mean so yeah I like the idea of just kind of having it back.
We'd still have to Zelle into that account so it's not really doing anything.
No when we get the other account.
Oh the other account.
Yeah.
It's fruitless to get an account without putting money in it.
I think that's a good idea.
No but what I looked at is I know you were concerned that you have to have a minimum
of two thousand or a thousand bucks and there's out there that you don't.
So I think those are the ones we need to go to but I agree I think we need some monies
in there.
I'm scared getting into those accounts.
I'm not.
I'm not either.
I'm not.
Really?
They're real.
Yeah I don't believe it.
Well are you guys going to attach it to your business?
Well we what do you mean?
Yeah we want to...
Are you guys going to do like a LLC type deal?
It's a business venture so we need to do that.
We need to find some sort of partnership and we need to go down to the local Collin
County place and log in our DBA and then take that DBA and then open the account because
I think you need a DPA.
You need an official one, right?
Right.
It's a business expense then.
Right.
Urban business expense.
Oh.
I like the sound of that.
Then we can ask for sponsors.
Well, then we're susceptible to taxes.
We'll get the tax at the end of the year.
We'll be like, what the hell is this all about?
It's all about planning.
Your wife does taxes.
I'm not involving her in this stuff.
Are you kidding me?
Even to do the taxes?
I find the furthest she is away from stuff like this,
the better.
Well, okay.
I get it.
All right.
What is the bourbon?
Okay, so we're doing-
So Paul Paul is the special guest tonight
because he gets to pick both bourbons.
Yes, I pick both bourbons.
So he chose the first one, which is a high octane one.
It is high octane.
Chad, you're not special at all.
Yeah.
Well, no, yeah.
That has been the theme of my life.
A different type of special.
So I went with an oldie.
It's old soul.
Oldie but goodie.
What is the proof on this thing?
120.
120?
Yeah, 119.2.
119.2, yeah.
Yeah, it's good.
It's very rich.
It's good.
We've had it before.
And then second half podcast, we have a new one.
So that is Green River, which I found.
I found a website that said the top 20 bourbons
that won't break the bank but are really, really good.
So I was going down there,
and you know how you remember every single one.
I have to call you, hey, have we tried this one?
Yes.
Have we tried that one?
Yes.
Have we tried that one?
Yes.
And anyway, I got to Green River
and you're like, no, we haven't had that one.
And I don't think we've seen it.
And then boom, it popped up.
Yeah, it popped up at Liquor King.
And they had the weeded bourbon, which is the one I got,
and then just the standard bourbon.
Right.
Which we don't have.
Yeah.
But if we like this one, maybe we try the other one.
But it is 90 proof.
So Sean, who's on that, I know.
Sean was like, there's not even any point.
Well, you know, whatever.
Actually, you know, it's all right.
This one actually tastes pretty good.
I like this one.
Oh, it's 120 proof though.
We liked it last time.
Yeah, what is the, I'm sorry.
What is the name of this?
Old Soul.
Think about it, Chad.
Well, so I'm a bourbon rookie, basically.
So this is like a breathing fire,
but it does taste good on the front end.
So.
Wait till it comes out the back end.
Yeah.
All right.
But I'm bumped.
Oh.
No, I did like it.
It does taste good, but it's just, once you finally.
If you want a nice cube to put in that, that will help.
Yeah.
Go on.
To get it down, so.
No, I'm still stepping on it and drinking it.
Yeah.
I'm good to go.
All right, so this old soul is the one
that has the old man on the label, right?
The old blues guy.
And it's like something series,
like tinsel series or something like that.
I forget what, do we have the bottle?
We left it out there.
That would have been smart to go grab that.
Mr. Producer's not here, so we're kind of winging it today.
Yeah.
It's, we're struggling.
Well, anyways, I don't really have,
I'm kind of fumbling all thumbs over here trying to.
No, it's good, it's good, we've had it before.
Our star is News Event Contacts, it's a cat,
no, that's not even.
Lord.
It's Old Soul Bourbon, cat head distillery, right?
Yeah, there's a bunch of old, different versions.
Yeah, there are.
This is one of their better ones.
Like you said, it's the old dude
smoking a cigarette, I think.
Smoking a big old cigar or something.
Is it a cigar?
Yeah, okay.
He's smoking something.
A big old doobie.
No, I don't think it's a doob.
Yeah, could be.
So did you look at, did you add up voting, Sean?
Were you able to get over there and vote?
Yeah, I'll take care of it, it took like 30 seconds.
Yeah, it's quick.
Well, for the school board.
Well, that was three days ago, right?
It was the sixth?
It was Monday, right?
Was it Monday?
Okay.
I did early voting, so I totally forgot about it.
Yeah, it was early voting.
Well, the folks I voted for lost, so.
Really?
Yes, for the school board.
Mayor, everyone else won,
but the school board folks that I voted for lost.
Was that the same ones that I voted for then?
Yes.
They lost?
Yes.
Oh my God.
So the liberal progressives that said
they're gonna schedule a school board meeting at an off time.
I don't think that's them.
That is, she wasn't up this time.
She wasn't up for our election this time.
Who did win?
How come I didn't see the title?
A little background story.
In Frisco, Texas, the Frisco Independent School District
were conducting, I don't wanna call them secret meetings,
but they were uncontested meetings.
It's like they were threatening to.
Oh, I thought they actually had done this.
They have not done it,
because I've gone back through their calendar
for the last month or two and looked,
and looked at their agenda and their meeting notes,
and they have not discussed any of this.
So essentially they were saying that,
well, we're gonna have a meeting on Tuesday at 11 a.m.
And.
They have to post it.
And tomorrow's Tuesday, one of those kind of things.
Yeah.
They were gonna have a special session
that they knew no one would come to
so that they could pass bullshit things
that they know are unpopular.
Let's allow transsexuals to go into the opposite bathroom.
I mean, it would have been approving books that are.
This transsexual thing is getting out of hand
across the board, man.
It's just absolute.
It's an obsession.
It's an obsession for this country right now.
We need a strong leader.
I don't give a fuck who it is.
We need somebody that's gonna stand up and be like,
hey, look, you wanna identify as a goddamn cat?
You fucking do that.
And who gives a shit?
But don't expect me to call you that.
But keep those people out of the bathrooms.
I think that's wrong.
You can't have a guy go in there.
Sorry, man.
Well, did you see the judge, was it Pennsylvania,
or the YMCA, the YWCA, where the guy
flashed his supposed leash,
flashed his penis to the girl in the locker room?
Yep, I heard about it.
The judge says, he's too fat.
His fat would have covered his genitals.
His paniculum?
His paniculum.
His paniculum was covering his genitals.
His paniculum covered his junk.
The paniculum is funny because we had a.
Jeff had mentioned it just randomly.
He was like, oh, look at that paniculum.
And I was like, what the fuck is that?
This is a regular occurrence.
He'll throw out some SAT vocabulary word.
Just to make a scope.
Beyond SAT, it's just like,
all right, well, what is the paniculum?
Well, it's that layer of fat that hangs down
and covers up your jingle jangle area.
Yeah, that's called a futa.
A futa?
Yeah, fat upper dick area.
So is it a fupa if it's a female?
Yes.
Oh, wow.
But a fupa can be also applied to men and women
because you can say penis.
I've heard the wives talk about their fupas.
Yeah.
Good Lord.
I have not been.
You've never heard of fupa?
I've never, no.
Oh, wow.
You're enlightened now.
Don't you feel, yeah, like more knowledgeable?
So I think it goes also back to
what Bud Light's going through
because they got hooked up with that.
They're just.
They're in a tailspin.
Dylan Mulvaney.
Well, now the CEO's come back
and he's distanced himself from us.
So now he's got all the libs pissed off.
That's right.
So now he's got both sides pissed off at Bud Light.
Yeah, they're saying if you're gonna back away
from the support that you were showing us.
I saw a clip.
Oh, go ahead.
Well, no, I think they're threatening ESG.
Yeah, ESG score.
I wouldn't give a shit.
If I was to see, I would like, I don't care.
Oh, I would give them the finger.
Absolutely.
I don't care.
But there was a.
They're trying to, yeah, they're trying to coerce.
Project Veritas, there was a meme I saw.
I don't know if it was a meme or it was real.
You never know nowadays,
but I saw a video that was passing through on Instagram
of which Project Veritas was interviewing
one of the newer guys that was taken over
for the marketing program.
And there was like, yeah,
we're quadrupling our efforts in the marketing.
We haven't figured out exactly what we're gonna do,
but on the table right now
is we're gonna start marketing towards Muslims.
Who said this?
Bud Light?
That was, yes.
I don't think.
There's no way.
How the hell does that work?
I don't know, man.
They don't drink.
I thought they didn't drink.
They don't drink.
That's bullshit.
That is bullshit.
That's gotta be bullshit.
I mean, there's no way they would make a mistake like that
again.
Or it's just, hey, you know, we've already stepped in it,
so let's just go further.
Right, let's just check every box.
Let's see how far we can destroy this company.
If they were gonna do that,
they would have continued down the transvestite once.
The CEO's like, what's the most a company's lost
after a bad advertising campaign?
I don't have it here, but it's right here.
It's on the big screen here.
Boom.
So there's right here, Bud Light's new heading
of marketing.
What he's saying is says, yeah,
though the boycarts are pretty heavy at the current moment,
and that's why I was hired, he says.
We are basically trying to turn the whole situation around.
Okay, so you have a plan.
What are you working on?
That looks too clean.
It does.
For Project Veritas.
That is not a Project Veritas video.
I think it's a joke.
Yes.
Well, but who's doing Project Veritas now?
Since you left.
Well, it's still a company.
Well, no, no, I know,
but now who's doing the investigative work?
It's just some dudes.
Yeah.
They're no names?
Yeah, this is a Project Veritas.
I would be surprised.
Because their videos are all grainy and nasty,
and that's way too clean.
I don't believe it.
Yeah, that almost looks like a...
What's the reader context?
Go down.
This is not official Project Veritas video.
It says right there.
Fuck this.
It's a parody.
I don't believe anything without verification.
Yeah, you know what?
That's the whole thing.
It really frustrates me.
It is a parody.
Because I read some of these and it's like,
yeah, they do that shit.
I'll tell you what it is.
And then Paul and I jump on your,
we researched that's not real.
I don't care.
I can't find anything.
I don't care.
You know what the thing is is that if you don't know,
you don't know.
I'll tell you what, nine times out of 10, I'm right.
Well, not lately.
Well, I mean, I haven't brought up anything.
So maybe you're right.
I don't think I've gotten up to 10.
Yeah, we're getting to a point where anything you see
on Instagram, TikTok, or whatever,
it's safe to say that it's not real.
I question all of it until I validate it in some way.
So a lot of things have happened in the news
since we were last together.
That's it right there.
Yeah, you found old soul.
Whatever that.
Yeah, tin type.
That's what I was talking about.
Tin type series.
Yeah, that is a cigarette.
You're right.
Well, he's old looking.
He's looking all kind of weathered.
Yeah, average price, $101.
Well, that's interesting.
We've got different little analytics here.
I was in our analytics.
It's never been 150, or maybe my son,
he might have exaggerated to make me feel better.
It could be.
But it's still a $100 bottle.
No slouch.
It's a nice bottle.
I am enjoying it.
It's nice.
It's comfortable.
It's got a little baseball oil in there,
baseball mitt oil.
I do, you joke about the stone fruit,
but seriously, of all the bourbons,
this one actually does.
It's got that sweet taste right off the bat.
It's got a little tobacco on the back end,
but most of it's good.
I don't know about the legs.
Oh, wow.
Smell it now.
As far as viscosity.
Have you smelled it?
Oh, look, it's got major legs.
Look at that thing.
It's opened up.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
I smell lots of vanilla.
It's got a wonderful nose, man.
Yeah, it's tasty.
Chad's kind of like, you guys are dumbasses.
Just let it out.
It just burns.
All right, so what do we got going on?
We're approaching, what is today?
May 9th.
It's May 9th.
It's Dudes Like Us, and we are in summer,
it is starting to get full steam.
The kids are almost out of school.
Yeah, two weeks left.
None of them are gonna be home, though.
Yeah, well, Preston's gotta work.
What's Stephen doing?
That's a good point.
Mine's staying at Arkansas to work.
Stephen's going to Europe for a month.
That's what I was gonna say.
I was gonna say cruise, but you know,
that's the whole thing.
I was thinking, all right, well,
Stephen's gonna have to work or something.
No, he's going on a cruise.
He's going to fucking Greece.
He's going to do, I'm happy for him, but God bless.
Give me a break, man.
Yeah, he's going over there.
His girlfriend is graduating Friday.
Wow.
And before she starts her real life job,
she's going to Europe, and he is accompanying her.
And then he is going back to school
to go to summer school and work.
Wow.
Did you guys ever go to Europe when you were a teenager?
I've never been to Europe.
Never been to Europe?
Yeah.
No, I haven't either.
I've been all over the Pacific, but.
Right, but I, all for it, man,
because it's an experience that he should take, right?
I mean, it's-
If it's dangling in front of you,
oh, hell yeah, you can take that.
I'd absolutely take it.
Yeah, I don't know what he's doing.
Now, you've been to Germany.
Yeah, I lived overseas about four or five years.
So you probably visited a lot of places.
We've gone to almost all the countries there.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, because it's kind of like the states.
We went towards that area.
I mean, we went, we were,
I'll tell you, one of the places we went,
we were in the demilitarized zone
between a communistic country and a not.
And it's like, we're pulling through,
and we've got a big silver 1976 Dodge van
with a big USA bumper sticker on the back.
Perfect.
And-
They shooting at you?
No, but there are mounts on either sides
with MG box guns sitting up there,
just for whatever, because that's what they had.
Well, we stop in the middle of the demilitarized zone
because my sister has to puke.
Oh.
And so she gets out and pukes.
And she gets all done.
And where were you?
You know, I'm trying to-
In between East Germany and West Germany?
No, it was like, I want to say it was like
maybe Czechoslovakia.
You know, it was, I don't remember exactly where it was.
It was in the South somewhere, like Czechoslovakia.
Was it Czech and Yugoslavia?
Weren't they all communist blocs back in the day?
Yes.
Yeah, but it was somewhere in there, right in there.
We were between two zones,
because we were going back and forth to Italy,
because we went to Italy like three summers in a row.
Italy, that's Yugoslavia at the time, right?
Is that what it was?
Yeah, that sounds right, I don't know.
Yeah, so anyway, so we were on both sides.
She was puking in the middle.
She gets back in and my dad's just fucking panicking,
you know, and we get out the other side,
they were just like, everything all right?
And it's like, yeah, she had to throw up.
Get out of the car, show us your papers.
Pink dribble down the number,
don't forget the pink shit that was all on the side
of her face.
Oh, gross.
Papers, please.
Oh, I'm sorry, my daughter was puking.
Papers, please.
No, they let us right on through.
They were just like, there's no way.
We don't want any of that mess.
These bumbling fucking idiots.
That's the way to do it.
Driving, oh, look, Americans with a big oversized van
and with a big USA bumper sticker on there.
Obnoxious, right?
Just get the fuck out of there.
Sean back there causing trouble, I'm sure.
I was quiet, man.
I'll tell you, we traveled a lot.
My dad did a good job.
He bought that van, he modified the back,
and we slept back there.
We did a lot of trips, lots of trips.
Yeah, that's what we did growing up as well.
My dad, he worked for General Electric.
Every August, they would shut down for two weeks.
Right.
The whole company would shut down
for two weeks, his location.
So during that time, we would just hit the road,
and we camped.
We would never get in a hotel or anything like this.
We camped everywhere.
Right.
Disney World, a bunch.
We were down there the first year that Epcot opened.
Camping, I remember one Christmas,
I don't know why the hell they did this.
They decided, we're gonna go to Florida
and camp for Christmas on Port St. Joe Beach.
And we go down there, it's Christmas Day.
Oh, boy.
And it's thunderstorming.
Oh, nice.
And it's miserable.
My mom is out there trying to make breakfast,
and it's raining, and we're all in the van.
Christmas Day. Christmas Day.
Oh, perfect, that's how you wanna spend Christmas Day.
Yeah, and we had a big, I think it was a Dodge,
big panel truck and van,
and we were all just sitting back there.
Miserable. Miserable.
Did you have gifts to open?
Yeah, they brought gifts.
A little tree in the back of the car?
I don't think there was any tree, but.
Yeah, that's not.
We were supposed to be there for a week.
I think we lasted two, maybe three days.
Yeah, I would not have tried something like that.
No one else was around.
We never really camped.
I never took my kids camping, really, I don't think.
And Shelly was saying you guys didn't camp at all,
like when you were growing up, did you?
No.
And you never even went on family vacations,
is what she was saying.
Well, I mean, that's not true.
I mean, we did, just not solely our family, right?
We would always travel up to Pueblo for Fourth of July
and everything else to be with our other family.
Right, right, right.
But yeah, I mean.
But when you were little, little.
No, no, no, that was all the way through my teens.
No, I'm saying when you were little.
We went to Florida, so the only memory I have of that
is running in from the beach
and they still had the screen door closed
and you can't see it when you're coming.
And you went through it?
No, no, no, I bounced off of that thing like 10 feet.
Right.
Yeah, yeah, I was so light, sprinting in from the beach,
just going in and boing, yeah, sent me flying.
Yeah, it was great.
It's like literally the only thing that I have.
But I mean, we didn't really do that.
I mean, Dad worked most of the time.
Right.
And then camping-wise, I think he had his fill in Vietnam,
so he was done camping.
Yeah, the outdoor thing didn't really work for him.
Yeah.
Yeah, I remember Shelley telling a story
where you guys were camping and it was a storm
and the cat ran away or something or something happened.
Maybe I'm mixing somebody else's story.
Yeah, no idea.
I don't remember ever camping, so.
Wow, yeah.
No, and we didn't either with my kids.
Yeah, we camped everywhere.
The only exception to that is we went up to,
I think we talked about it on a previous podcast,
is we went up to Canada and we did some fishing
in Sault Ste. Marie and they sprung and went to the cabin.
And this thing was bare bones cabin.
Well, better than a tent.
Yeah, and I couldn't even tell you
what time of year we went up there.
It must, it was chilly and wet.
I don't remember, but typically we would go vacation
in August, like I said, when his work was shut down
for two weeks, I don't think they do that anymore.
Right.
And you were in Ohio?
Yeah, I was in Ohio.
So you traveled up to Canada,
which is not that far from Ohio, is it?
No, we went straight up, you go straight up Michigan,
went up against.
Yeah, we're talking about a couple hours, right?
No, it's longer than that.
Michigan's long from end to end.
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
Plus you have to veer,
can't go straight up through, right?
Yeah, you go straight up and then you cross
at Mackinac City, or the Mackinac Bridge,
which is the longest suspension bridge in the US
or the world or something like that.
Okay, nice.
And it's at the very tip.
Oh damn, Michigan is long, isn't it?
It's that yellow line, yeah, that's it.
And then when you cross, you're in Canada.
That is a long bridge.
I never blew that up, I had no idea that existed.
Yeah, actually that may still be Michigan
across the street, or across the, I can't remember.
I've heard of Mackinac Island.
That's where your favorite movie,
Somewhere in Time was filmed.
Oh yeah, that's right, you were talking about that.
Yeah, and they used to,
they didn't allow motor vehicles on there.
Okay.
So it's like going back in time kind of a thing.
I don't know if they still do that.
Right, so you're riding bikes and stuff.
My bikes and horse and carriage and shit like that.
That's kind of cool, did they change that?
I don't know, I don't know if they're still doing that
or not, that was a long time ago.
So yeah, that was a long bridge.
There is so much in the United States that I have not.
I have done more international exploration
than I have US stuff.
I mean, that's crazy, look at all that.
I mean, that's amazing.
Yeah, and the.
The northern coast of Detroit, I mean of Michigan.
Yeah, and it's beautiful.
Michigan's a pretty state, that's very wooded.
And all you ever think about is Detroit.
No, I've been to Detroit too, but no, the rest of Michigan.
You know what I mean, when people think about Michigan,
they think rundown city and crime, and they think Detroit.
No, no, it's lots of green.
Well, you know, New York's the same way, right?
New York State, beautiful.
Outside of New York City.
That bridge is about 4.4 miles.
Well, yeah, outside of the boroughs.
Yeah, go to upstate New York,
and it's totally different.
Totally different.
I mean, there's like farming.
Yeah, New Jersey's like that too.
There's like, you know.
New Jersey's like a farmland.
It's like red states.
I'd like to live there.
New Jersey, oh yeah, of course you would.
It's beautiful out there.
I mean, you can step outside of New Jersey.
The countryside of New Jersey is very, very nice.
Oh, it's beautiful out there.
I'm telling you, it's absolutely beautiful out there.
Of course.
I wouldn't want to live there because.
Well, it's got horrible taxes,
private taxes, just terrible.
Because I was like, man, it'd be nice to live here.
Nice homes, beautiful yards.
Once you get outside the city, right?
And I was just like, there's no way I could afford this.
That's expensive as shit to live in New Jersey.
Well, and you think the tolls are bad here.
Jesus Christmas.
They have toll booths everywhere there,
and they are not cheap at all.
Oh, on the East Coast?
Yeah, so we were in New York,
and we drove down to Arlington from there.
And man, it was.
Four dollar tolls every two miles.
We were lucky at the last one.
We had to start navigating differently
because we ran out of cash.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was dumb.
One good thing about growing up in Ohio, Cincinnati,
is I could travel six hours and be in Washington, D.C.
I could be in Chicago.
I could be.
You're kind of in the middle of all of it.
Yeah, that's kind of like a mini Europe.
You'd be in Europe and be in six different countries
in the afternoon.
Two hours, yeah.
Right, so up there, like I said,
you could be in D.C. in six to seven hours.
You could be in New York City in the same.
So you're up there, and it's even more compact
once you get over even a little further east.
So you can hit all kinds of shit in a.
Yeah, in a four hour drive along the East Coast,
which is just Dallas to Houston for us,
is like, yeah, you go through like 11 states.
Yeah, that's what it is.
That's what, it was nice.
You know, you could go down to Louisville, Lexington.
You know, it's like a two hour drive down to Lexington,
down to Bourbon Trails, right?
Actually, you just go right across the river
from Cincinnati and hit them.
But you know, down here, you're like,
yeah, I could drive for 12 hours and still be in Texas.
Yes, yes.
It's ridiculous.
It's a true thing.
But yeah, I really need to just kind of spend some time
looking at a map of the United States
and start thinking about places to go to.
I mean, we talk about, oh, we've never been to Europe.
Go to Europe.
Okay, great, which is great, right?
I'm not downplaying it.
We can't even go to Broken Bow, or Bahama.
But there's a shitload of stuff to see in the United States.
There is.
Julie wants to go up to the Vermont area.
The changing of the league or whatever.
Well, not just that, but there's a cheese trail.
Oh, cheese trail.
Yes, where they make just all kinds of artisan cheeses.
I don't think I'm a big enough fan of cheese to.
Well, it's the location to.
Do that, yeah, that would be great.
That would be cool.
I mean, we'd hit like 10 cheese places in the day.
It's just like.
I don't know, I've done it.
But she wants to do that.
She wants to go to.
She wants to go to Michigan as well, right?
Yeah, she's living in all those cheese places.
There we go.
But you gotta figure there's a lot of wine with that, right?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The upside there.
Yeah.
That crackers.
Could actually even be beer and bourbon
along with that too.
You never know.
I think we can make it work.
I think we could sell a lot of charcuterie boards there.
There we go.
Probably could.
And we need to make sure we're.
So I never heard that, the cheese trail in Vermont.
Look at the Vermont Cheese Council.
I'm saying there's like a million things
that we don't know.
And Plymouth cheese.
But I like cheese.
I like cheddar cheese.
I have a lot of cheese before I came here today.
But honestly, I haven't tried enough cheese
to like be appreciative
of all the different cheeses out there.
You know, I used to grow up on cheeses.
You know, living in Germany, we'd have our Sundays,
our weekends, breakfasts would consist of broaching
a variety of salamis and some cheeses.
Yeah.
Some of the best cheese is the really stinky gooey cheese.
Oh gross.
If you can get.
Oh yeah.
I'm not a huge fan of brie.
But there's some cheeses out there.
We've got to melt it and put it on the broach
and it's really tasty.
But some of the cheeses you get,
or it's like a goo and it smells like asshole.
Whoa.
But if you can get it.
Let's get that there.
If you can get it past that, the taste is phenomenal.
You wouldn't think so.
You're saying when you get past the taste of asshole.
No, when you get past the smell of it.
One slip at a time.
Well right now that's in, right?
I mean everybody's.
Just assholing it.
Eating ass all the time.
Oh yeah.
So I mean.
There you go.
Well the Vermont thing is kind of cool too.
I mean it's right on the border of Canada.
You can go to Montreal.
Is it Quebec?
Quebec?
Quee-back?
It's Quee-back.
Queef.
Queef-back.
Just say it wrong, they'll correct you.
Was that Leonard Kenney who did all that?
You know you were talking about cheeses.
I was in Wisconsin vacationing and somebody who,
it was like a, it's my brother-in-law's mother, right?
A lifelong Whisconian, it was Whisconite?
Whisconian?
I don't know.
Anyway, and she was talking about cheeses
and stuff like that and I went,
ah you know whatever, cheese is cheese.
And she got upset.
You were probably like eating American cheese back then.
I think, you know I was just like,
cheese, what the hell, cheese is cheese.
I mean, and she was just like,
you would have thought that I insulted,
that she comes from like 10 generations of cheese farmers.
Well Whiscons is-
What do they call them?
Cheese, are they farmers?
They're not farmers, they're makers, cheese makers.
Fromo-ge-ay.
What do they call, I guarantee they have a name.
It's a, isn't it fromo-ge-ay?
What's a person who make, fromo-ge-ay?
Yeah, I think so.
Well, fromage is what?
What's a person who makes cheese?
Fromage is what, like it's, is that?
Is that Italian?
A cheese maker, oh he got it, fromager.
Oh, fromager.
See?
Fromager.
You don't get, no, you don't get that one.
I said from, well, it's French, so I'm not French.
Right, right.
I'll give you a quarter point.
It's a fro-maker.
A fro-maker.
I only know that from a Dexter's laboratory.
It's omelette du fromage.
That's it.
Fromage, so it's fromage?
Yeah, that's it.
Oh, then you know.
So I was correct.
No, he gets full credit, Chad does.
Okay, I'll give him credit.
No, no.
Oh, we can't do the audio, can we?
He's our guest.
Fromage, fromage.
Producers are on.
Fromage-ay.
Fromage.
There you go.
Okay, now you learned something, listener.
Hey, all right, so a person who makes cheese
is a fro-ma-ger.
So I offended.
Like I said.
I offended that fro-ma-ger when I said cheese.
You should have thrown that out to her.
She would have been like,
okay, you've been redeemed.
Well, that's like the equivalent of slapping
10 different generations, right?
Yeah, oh, well, I offended everybody.
Like all our ancestors, apparently.
Yeah, there's some really good cheese.
There's some really nasty cheese out there, too, though.
Yes.
I think I had a couple bad experiences,
and now I'm afraid to try anything
other than sharp cheddar from Kroger.
No, there's some good cheese.
That's it, that's all I can do.
No, we had a charcuterie.
Well, you talk about charcuterie boards,
but when that does, you have different styles of cheese.
I have tried some of them, yes.
I've been underwhelmed.
A lot of it depends on what you're pairing it with.
Like some of the cheeses.
Like a nice wine.
Like what proof bourbon.
No, like a nice healthy salty trisket.
Fruit.
Or perhaps a different.
Crackers.
Anchovy.
Nice buttery crits.
You do it with like grapes, things like that.
A little slice of salami.
Some salamis.
Maybe some liverwurst.
We've gotta start making charcuterie boards for.
Charcuterie.
For our podcast break.
Yeah, we gotta have these cheeses.
Have it all.
A little.
We do that.
Special meats.
Jilly and I.
Canned meats.
Jilly and I'll do a charcuterie board dinner
every now and then.
Really?
We'll go by.
You end up starving to death?
Three.
No, not at all.
There's plenty of food.
You get some olives, you get some cheeses,
you get some meats, you get some crackers.
Maybe some fufu.
Some cherries, some grapes.
You add like a slice of brisket on there.
No, just perhaps some stone fruit.
Yeah, some grapes.
You and your salty trisket.
Some really.
The hell.
And then you hit your salt content.
You don't need any of this shit.
You're like warming up, like smoked shit all the time.
Well, yeah, that's true, but you know,
actually Ritz crackers and saltine,
or what did I say, trisket.
So that stuff's horrible for you, man.
Trisket, I thought trisket were good.
They're not good for you, but they're not bad for you.
I like whole grains and shit.
I have triskets downstairs, I eat those.
There you go.
I have some today's.
Oh, I love them.
And it's got a little green triangle on it
saying it's good for the heart.
Everything's bad for you, right?
I know.
The hell the way.
Except old soul.
That's actually good for you.
Gluten free.
It is gluten free.
You know what, everybody, they talk about.
Well, I stand corrected.
A trisket, just in case you're not familiar,
is a square cracker made of shredded wheat.
They're actually pretty healthy for you.
Now, here we go.
With six of the crackers providing three grams of fiber
for 120 calories, no sugar.
Which cracker tends to have a lot of, for whatever reason.
You probably saw a TikTok that said otherwise.
You did.
No, it was, I think it's Ritz crackers.
There are some crackers out there
that are on the list of horrible shit.
They're right next to Pop Tarts.
I'm not a fan of Ritz crackers.
Ritz crackers now are bio-engineered, so enjoy that one.
Yeah, what isn't nowadays?
That's the problem.
That is the problem.
Cracked pepper with sharp cheddar is fricking wonderful.
Of trisket?
Trisket, yeah, get the cracked pepper one.
Cracked pepper trisket with sharp cheddar cheese and groger.
I like the roasted garlic trisket.
Oh, those are good too.
Triscuits are good.
I wonder what the deal is.
I'm kind of thinking that it's a lie.
What's a lie?
You just can't believe that triscuits are healthy for you.
Are healthier compared to potato chips and Cheetos.
They're definitely a healthy alternative.
Of course, get the front door out of here.
Cheetos are amazing.
They're still very much snack food,
and even though if they're not exactly junk food,
you shouldn't eat too many of them in one sitting.
Oh yeah.
Like you can't eat a box.
Oh, they're baked.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Yeah, they're healthy.
Well, there you go.
Yeah, they can't be healthy if they're not baked.
They're healthier.
Yeah, essentially doused with oil and salt.
I'll eat them all day.
Okay.
I'll eat cheese and meats.
All right, well fuck the vegetables.
I'm eating triscuits.
Nice and processed foods.
There you go.
That's my takeaway here.
Yeah, well I guess triscuits are good.
They're a little rich.
Maybe they're high in salt.
That's perhaps one of some of the problems.
I wonder if they probably have a low sodium version.
How did we get on triscuits?
We were talking about cheese.
That's right.
Because of salty triscuits.
See how we do this?
We went from Wisconsin to cheese to triscuits.
Right.
Well, we started camping.
Camping.
Yes.
I don't think camping went to Vermont.
That rabbit hole was deep.
You know what?
That's an excellent point.
We should start mapping out how we get to this shit.
Yeah, veritable war.
I don't care.
Speaking of rabbit hole,
have you guys watched that TV show?
Yes, it's awesome.
It's really good.
What is it?
Is that a show?
Rabbit hole.
It's really good.
Keep for Sutherland?
It just ended, right?
Yeah, it sure did.
What, like on Netflix or something?
What are we talking about?
Paramount.
Paramount, yeah.
Paramount Plus?
It's really good.
It's got Jack Bauer in it.
Yeah, so keep for Sutherland and then the,
I don't know the actor's name,
but he's the one that played the Lannister patriarch.
Yeah, the Charles Dance.
Yeah.
There you go.
He was the head Lannister guy, the dad.
Yeah.
It's good, I recommend it.
Keeps you guessing all the way through.
Absolutely.
Rabbit hole.
Lots of twists and turns, just like fuck.
Yeah, the name is aptly done.
Hasn't Charles Dance been around for a long, long time?
Well, he's like 100.
I think he's 18.
Look at the dude.
No, no, no, what I mean is he's well known
in lots and lots of movies, right?
He's not.
Yeah, he's been in a bunch of shit.
Isn't he from something wicked this way comes?
No, he's from Game of Thrones.
Yeah, I think Game of Thrones is where
he probably got his worldwide.
No, he's been way popular way before that.
He's a tywin Lannister.
He was in Golden Wicked with Waycome.
The Golden Child, I remember that.
That was fantastic.
Yes, same guy.
I want the knife.
Oh, he was so irritated with him.
Please, please.
We'll do IMDB on him.
He's got some movies we'd recognize.
Who, Charles Dance?
Yeah.
He was in Strike Back as well.
I think season two maybe.
Oh, was that Game of Thrones and Dracula?
The Untold Story.
Last action hero, Alien, The Golden Child.
Alien 3, that's where the part there is.
The Phantom of the Opera.
Me Before You.
The Imitation Game.
Do some of the older ones.
Do the full deal.
Like click on IMDB, there you go.
Chuck Dance.
The very first one I remember is the one
I already told you guys.
It's Something Wicked This Way Comes.
Well, it's called Something Wicked This Way Comes.
A Stephen King story.
That's why you said something wicked this way comes.
I think he was in, like I said, Strike Back.
That was back in the 80s.
Yeah, Strike Back was in the 2000s.
I've never heard of Strike Back.
That was a good show, I recommend it.
I think it's five seasons.
It's kind of like a Deep Strike.
Oh, Deep Strike.
Deep Impact.
Look at that list, man.
Deep Strike.
That dude stayed busy.
Yeah, he does.
Good Lord.
Yeah, Black Ops, Dead of the Night.
It's a video game he plays in.
He did the voiceover.
He does stay busy.
This is all 2018.
Holy shit, he's done a lot.
Woman in White is dancing with me.
No, it's Woman in Red.
Oh, Ghostbusters, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
You've never watched that?
No.
Oh, it's actually good, man.
Is it?
Yeah, I saw that, it was entertaining.
Forbidden Empire, 2014.
Strike Back, yeah.
Common Ground.
Dark Secret States.
Strike Back. Holy shit,
he's been doing a bunch of things.
Well, you know another movie is the Abraham Lincoln
and the vampire one.
Vampire Slayer.
Which was good.
Yeah.
I was watching it thinking it was gonna be totally
retarded and it was good.
He's got a great voice, man.
He does narrating too.
Yeah.
Yeah, looking in there,
it looks like he does a lot of voice work.
Yeah.
I'm trying to find the one that Paul was talking about.
Okay, it's back in the 80s.
Back in the 80s, all right.
Way down.
This guy's been around a long time, man.
Last Action Hero, wow, 1993.
He did Phantom of the Opera several times now.
Very like a way out.
BBC Two.
The Playhouse.
Oh shit, now I'm getting worried.
I don't see it on the list.
I think Paul.
I may be wrong on this one.
We're gonna throw a flag on you.
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.
But your eyes only.
No, keep going on.
I think you guys skipped over it.
But your eyes only.
You guys must have skipped it on purpose.
The Secret Servant, Plenty,
Theatre Night, Time for Murder, The Gold Child,
I Don't See It.
Out on a limb, Good Morning, Babylon.
Well, now I gotta know who is it.
So just look up something wicked this way comes
and then you'll figure out who the damn person was.
Oh yeah, great.
And go through the entire cast, all 158 of them.
No, it's an old dude.
You'll recognize him right away.
Wilford Brimley.
Dang it.
How come I can never be right on any of this stuff?
Great spelling there, either way.
Yeah, no, no, no, no.
That's called X Videos.
We're not clicking on that one.
I think they spelled come on the wrong way.
Oh.
Idiot.
It wasn't a porn.
Something wicked comes.
Something wicked this way comes.
There it is.
It's Jason Robards.
Yeah, you're an idiot.
Hold on, click on him.
I need to see his face to know what he looks like.
Who, Jonathan Price?
No, that just doesn't seem right.
Maybe it was Jason Robards.
I think the alcohol is starting to get in touch.
I can never be right about this kind of shit.
See, 31 days and this is what happens.
Yeah, there we go.
I was supposed to have mental clarity.
Yeah, it's not working.
My brain fog was supposed to lift.
I can tell you, I'm pretty, I'm still digging this.
It's got a little nut taste down.
Like a peanut?
Yeah, like a little walnut.
Oh, it's super yummy.
So I was trying to find it.
It's something about Justin Trudeau
was introduced something and I saw it on the Fox News today
that they just passed it where he does something
where he's controlling or censoring the internet
or you're not allowed to do something.
Did you guys hear anything about that?
Straight up, but China style?
Yeah, like limiting what's coming in.
Did you see what Canada did during COVID?
I mean, Canada's like fucking borderline China.
When does he get up for election again?
That doesn't surprise me at all.
It shocked me.
I thought it was like, you know, free.
And then Australia.
There you go.
That's Trudeau's online censorship.
It's Bill C-11 passes in the parliament.
Australia was damn near China level
where they were locking people up.
Yeah, and the one kid was walking home from work
and he goes through the park and took his mask off
and then just to breathe
while he's walking through the park,
somebody reported him and by the time he got to his house,
the cop showed up at his door.
That's crazy.
I shit you not.
That was in Australia.
Anyway, sorry.
What are you talking about now?
No, it's because they're idiots.
Trudeau.
This guy's a huge clown.
Dude, he's a douchebag.
I mean, there was a story that Trudeau was actually
Cuba's leader's son.
What was the Cuban leader?
Who?
Fidel Castro.
Fidel Castro's son.
I don't believe that.
I don't know.
Trudeau's the son of a previous prime minister.
His dad was prime minister.
And was that guy the son of a?
Trudeau.
This dictator is Cuba.
He's like Irish.
Yeah, I don't know.
This guy's super liberal, right?
Oh yeah, Trudeau is.
Big time.
He's been there a really long time.
How long do they have a president or a prime minister for?
No, Fidel Castro is not the Canadian prime minister.
Trudeau's father.
Where do you hear this shit anyway?
No, they did some really great analyzing,
comparing the faces.
Oh my God, who did?
Well, look, they showed it.
It was just these memes on social media.
It doesn't fucking matter.
They show the pictures.
They look the same.
I mean, it doesn't matter.
It's not like you're reading into it.
Sure.
Well, he is taking that place to a communist state.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
I mean.
I mean, whether he is his son or not,
he's literally following in his footsteps.
Black and white.
That's his dad.
Was it?
Was it, though?
We don't really know.
We don't really know, do we?
Back when Cuba was open.
Yeah, I mean.
I think it's the guy in the middle right there,
which is dad.
Oh yeah.
King Jung-un.
Yeah, he looks a lot like the guy from North Korea.
Whatever.
You know, the whole thing about Trudeau
and what the hell's going on up there
with the online censorship law,
the Bill C-11 passes through the parliament where.
Who's this well-bearded and haired gentleman?
I don't know.
Are you intrigued?
I couldn't handle hair like that.
No.
Wow.
That's a lot of hair.
Very thick hair.
Yes, he's well-maned.
Yeah.
Oh!
If I didn't know any better,
I'd say you're hitting on him.
Oh!
That's definitely a lot of product.
God, he's well-groomed.
So 52 to 16.
That's a wonderful, witty man.
It's got an erection over there.
Yeah, look at that.
So it passed 52 to 16.
What the hell's going on over here?
Jesus.
Yeah.
That's called,
that's called do it or you wake up
in the trunk of somebody's car.
Yeah, no shit.
Wow.
I mean, I don't know.
I mean, I wish we produced over here
so we could play some of this video, but.
Well, also Canada is where you can be charged
for using the incorrect pronoun for misgendering.
Just like California.
And you can be arrested if you are caught praying
in front of an abortion clinic.
Really?
Yes.
That happens in England as well.
Yeah.
There was a woman.
There was a woman standing across the street.
Right?
That was England.
Oh, I thought that was Canada.
Maybe you're right.
Well, that's even worse.
Why the hell is it going on in England?
Yeah, she's standing across the street
from an abortion clinic and she was just silently.
Silently.
And then the cops came up to her and asked her,
are you praying and she said yes and they arrested her.
Unbelievable.
I shit you not.
That is a real story.
We should start bordering out that one too.
See, that's what they wanted to do.
That's what they want the United States to turn into.
And we're falling into it.
I'll tell you,
they're gonna have more of that,
this big old shooting in Allen, Texas.
I mean, did we ever find out what the hell
that was all about?
We found out he was Hispanic.
We found out that the warrior hero cop
that charged in there shot him at least twice
right in the face within two or three inches of each other.
Well, and two minutes.
Two minutes into the shooting, thank God that cop was there.
Yeah, there would have been dozens.
Oh, it would have been 30, 40.
It would have been dozens, Dad.
Yeah.
But he happened to be there on an unrelated thing.
So have they released this guy's manifesto?
They're saying, I don't know where they're getting
this information, but they're already saying
he's tied to right wing, some bullshit like that.
Well, he's a white supremacist being a?
Hispanic.
Yeah, yeah, how's that work?
And he hates Jews, and he hates...
All that tremendous work that the New York Post
or New York Times is doing, rather.
To get to the bottom of that.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's bullshit.
But they're not doing shit for the chicken Nashville.
Right.
Oh, we don't have to worry about that one.
What do you mean?
The manifesto.
You're talking about the tranny that shot up the school.
Yeah, they're not releasing her manifesto.
Yeah, and a police union sued
because they want it released.
Yeah.
And they're saying it's too dangerous.
If it got into the wrong hands, it would be catastrophic.
Whatever, man.
That's literally the words they're using.
What does that mean?
These trans people are...
I have no idea.
Out of their mind.
Well, you know what?
Not all of them.
There are some people that just wanna...
They just wanna be the opposite sex.
Right.
And you know what?
And you hear those guys on TV every now and then.
They're like, I don't get it.
Yeah, they're like...
I'm happy, being content with my life.
I made a decision to do this.
You got some of these people,
it's that bitch that was like...
Screaming her head off.
She was screaming.
What the hell is that all about?
I would be...
I would wanna punch her in the face if I were there.
A lot of those people,
they're just cross dressers, right?
And all of a sudden, they're being boxed into trans
all of a sudden because that's what it has to be.
You can't just be a cross dresser anymore.
Because those are the drag show guys, right?
The cross dressers are the drag show guys
that are not trannies?
For the most part.
I figure unless you go...
They're basically clowns.
If you don't go through with it
and you don't get everything done,
you're just a cross dresser.
Right, and they're criticized for that, you're saying?
Well, no.
I just think that the whole trans movement
has gotten blown out.
Like out of control.
Way out of proportion.
Well, it has.
And I'm starting to see more and more
of the older trans who are having regrets
and they're sharing their stories going,
this was a terrible mistake because I did this.
And they can't go back.
Yeah, I started taking...
And now I don't have a penis.
I started taking...
If you ever work with them...
I watched one today, it was a girl,
she's probably in her 20s now.
And she's like, at first, my family and all my friends
affirmed me, they supported me, made me feel good.
And then a little bit longer,
I started feeling bad about myself,
so I started taking testosterone.
That lasted for a little bit.
Then I got my breasts removed.
That worked for a little bit.
Then I had a full hysterectomy, removed everything.
Son of a bitch.
Everything. God, awful.
And she goes, that lasted a little bit.
Then I had nothing else to do, basically.
And she realizes...
And it wasn't enough.
And it wasn't enough, and that's what she's saying.
She goes, these things don't...
She goes, I realized I will never be a man.
Right.
Of all these things that I've done,
I will never be a man, and I can't...
They don't tell you that.
They say this stuff can be undone, but it can't be undone.
It's mental illness.
Yeah.
I mean, have you heard about the...
Well, when you say it like that, though,
it has a bad twang to it.
I mean, it is mental illness,
but you gotta address it a little bit differently.
You can't...
Mental illness, if you say someone's got mentally ill,
that's kind of a beat down.
Oh, of course.
You gotta just...
I like that it was a dysphoria.
It's a disorder, yeah.
Mental disorder.
You know, but there are things that they are trying
over and over to get...
Okay, let me rewind back in 1973.
You guys know what the DSM is, the Diagnosticistic Manual.
DSM-3.
That's what I read when I was at college.
Well, yeah, but that was...
They have, I think, up to 12 now.
Yeah, there's a bunch of them.
So the Diagnostic Statistics Manual,
which details the five axis of character traits
in all human beings.
And back in 1970s, in the 70s,
they had on their disorder was being homosexual.
Right.
And they finally lifted it in the mid-70s.
They were like, that's not a disorder anymore.
We want to make sure that we include them as that.
That's just a normal thing.
It's not abnormal.
It's not a mental disorder.
Right.
It's just, you suck dick.
So, you know, that's just the way it goes.
Yeah.
So they are starting to...
They have now included, there's now a committee
in the United States that's based out of the Northwest,
I think in Washington, Portland.
It has to be.
Fathers, it's men and boys.
NAMBLA, it's called NAMBLA,
North American Man-Boy Love Association.
That's exactly what it is.
Oh, neat.
Yes.
That's been around for a while.
It's just a minor attracted people.
I remember Rush Limbaugh talking about that.
That's how I learned about it.
They're doing the same thing.
It's the same process.
It is an organization.
First of all, why is it an organization?
Right.
Number two, they've now included in the DSM book
that as a disorder.
Okay?
Now it's a disorder to have a relationship.
Man-boy, man-son?
Man-boy.
Man-boy Love Association.
North American Man-Boy Love Association.
So it's pedophiles.
Correct.
Yeah.
I thought they called that minor attracted.
Along with that, the WHO.
They just normalized that as well.
Which?
Pedophilia?
Yeah.
So they just made it to where now they're recognizing
down to like 12 years old.
And they're normalizing it within different countries
is what they're doing.
So it's all going back to the same thing
to where it's just they keep taking those tiny little steps
to be able to normalize something.
Yes.
So that they can get to what they ultimately wanna do.
Which is have sex with young boys.
Yeah, well I mean where do you think all of these children
that are missing from the border have gone?
Right.
Yeah, that's some crazy shit, man.
It's not like they're at Aunt Suzy's house.
Right.
There are, did they say 20,000?
Or?
No, 80.
There's a bunch of them that are gone.
They're just missing.
80,000 children.
They put them on buses and now they can't find them.
Gosh.
Yeah.
And you know there are people out there that,
I forget what it was,
it was some sort of state official that said,
yeah they know what's going on.
They know exactly what they were taking.
They were taken off the bus
and they were put onto some other vehicle
and they were whisked away.
Yeah, it was a whistle blower.
So she worked for DHS as,
what was her position?
I can't remember what her position was,
but she placed children with sponsors.
Right, that was her whole job.
And she took it so that she could sit there
and try to help out these kids.
Yeah.
And the way that they were supposed to do
is they were supposed to confirm the sponsors, right?
And basically all they were doing
because either they're so inundated.
Yes.
Or they're told, hey don't ask questions
or incompetence, right?
Or a combination of all of it.
But they were just calling phone numbers
and being like, are you a sponsor of so and so?
Yes, yes.
And it's always a man and she was just like,
they're just sit there and say yes.
And so they just send them.
Oh my God.
And she go start doing welfare checks.
Was this her right here, Ms. Rodas?
Yes, her.
Her testimony is,
it just, it blows your mind.
It's just unconscionable what they're doing
and allowing to be done.
Allowing that to happen.
So with Whistler Blower who viewed firsthand
what she testified is a sophisticated network
of child migrant smuggling.
Oh my God.
Into forced labor and other forms of slavery.
It's calling on Congress to act crack down
on the US role in the network.
It's happening within our borders.
Every day.
Yeah.
So.
Unbelievable.
What do you do?
I mean, there is so much going on
that we have no control over.
Well, did you, I heard that the,
you know the shooting that was down north of Houston,
is it Cleveland?
Texas?
Yes, the Honduras.
Yeah.
Neighbors.
Yeah, and they said please don't shoot your gun
so he lined them up and shot them.
Five of them I think.
Yep.
Oh yeah.
They found a Katta guy.
Well, apparently that whole area,
it's like 40 or 50 acres of just a unincorporated
village of illegals.
So it's like a huge.
Yeah, they have to go somewhere.
It's like a huge.
With 100,000 going across the border every month.
I mean, where are they gonna go?
Yeah, it's like a huge little shanty town
of illegals here in Texas.
Yeah, well, where is that in Ohio?
No, it's down north of Houston.
Yeah, Cleveland.
Cleveland, Texas.
Cleveland, Texas, yeah.
And it's, they said it's,
either said it was 40, 50 square miles
or 40, 50 square or acres.
Acres, yeah.
I think acres was probably better.
But it's, you know, it's a big,
it's a big community that they've built.
Wow.
All right, anyway, so Lives Immigrant,
Live Lives, oh, what is it saying?
Lives Immigrants.
That doesn't make sense, that's poor grammar.
It's wrong grammar.
What the hell, I see it all the time.
Immigrants built in community outside of Houston
shattered by shooting.
Lives Immigrants built in community
outside Houston shattered by shooting.
Of the lives of immigrants built in the community outside.
That's terrible grammar, though.
Terrible.
So, say Cleveland, Texas,
that Wilson Garcia and his family
were among of the Latino immigrants
who carved out a community inside the thick piney woods
near Cleveland, Texas, through a combination of hard labor,
fortitude, love of family, blah, blah, blah.
So there's on one acre plot of land
bought with a small down payment.
So do they have this land just readily available
for people to purchase?
Who do they buy it from?
That's weird, I mean, I'd like to buy some of that land.
No shit, land is like extremely expensive.
Now how are they buying this?
Right.
Well, whatever, so it's unfortunate there was a
gunfire on April 28th.
I'm not saying that, but I find it incredible
that there's these little cities popping up,
or villages, or whatever you wanna call.
Oh, that's what it was.
They requested that he stop firing his gun
so that the baby could sleep.
So he's out in the middle of nowhere.
So he's shooting into a field or something, right?
Up in the air from what I thought.
And yeah, he came out and shot them execution style.
Unbelievable. I find that odd
because the original one that I had heard was just
handguns, and now this one is AR style, of course.
Yeah, well.
But, and then, yeah, but he lined them up
at just execution style, like on their knees,
just back of the head.
We'll see a gang member or cartel member
from wherever country he came from.
I don't know.
How do they do this?
They only find him like two miles away
under a pile of dirty laundry in a closet.
In a closet, yep.
Yeah.
On a tip, on a tip that blew the whole thing open.
Yeah.
They didn't know where he was.
Again.
And they weren't closing in on him.
It was a tip.
Right.
2.6, 2.7 million known, and then however many
hundreds of thousands unknown just in two years.
Where are they going?
I mean, that, I mean.
Well, some of them are going to inner cities.
Some of them are going to these little towns.
Some of them are being bused, right?
They're being bused to sanctuary cities.
Some of them are, but the bulk of them, I think,
are just kind of dispersing, and.
They're just, hey man, sink or swim.
Yeah, I don't know what they're doing.
By the way, here's a $27,000 Visa card
in case you need money.
I'm gonna go buy an acre of land.
Unbelievable.
And it's gonna get worse when this Title 42 thing ends.
700,000 people.
Are waiting.
That's, Cincinnati has just over 300,000 people in it.
I don't understand how the whole nation
isn't like freaking out.
Fort Worth is 900,000 people.
Because out of my, out of.
It's basically a large city waiting to come over.
Waiting to come over.
And then, and then.
It's an invasion.
It's literally an invasion.
And you got those $1,500, I'm sorry,
1,500 soldiers that are coming down.
What is it, National Guard?
They're trying to help process them.
Yeah, to process them.
Fuck.
Fuck outta here.
It's crazy.
I'm telling you, you know what, man, I don't know.
Title 42, what are they gonna do?
Is he gonna, he's got to call it back.
I mean, and both parties are like,
we've gotta do something, we've gotta do something.
Both Democrats and Republicans.
Well, you got some, you got.
I mean, it's the same.
An angry sister on the news, on Fox News,
she was barking out because evidently,
I may be misquoting this, but from what I understood,
she was upset because her family and her friends' family
were all evicted from this building.
Right.
So.
Oh, so they could house illegal immigrants there?
So they could house illegal aliens in there.
Oh my God.
And she was just like, what the hell, man?
We're the ones that are our citizens.
Right.
That's our free place.
Right.
We're giving our free place to someone
that's not even a citizen.
Right.
And you know, as shitty as a statement that is from her,
she's right.
She's absolutely right.
I think they need to make those options available
to our veterans.
Yes.
Who come over and struggle and are homeless.
Not all of them, but they struggle.
Yes.
Give them this place where they can live for a while
to get their feet back underneath them
instead of living on the streets or struggling
or back with their parents or broken home
or something like that.
Right.
They're struggling, right?
I get it.
Not all veterans are like that,
but there's a lot that are in need out there
that they're just handing all this shit over to the illegals.
And I'm not saying the illegals are bad people,
they're just doing it the wrong way.
Right.
Well, but-
Do it the right way.
Right.
And why is it that you should garner so much money
because you come in under false pretenses, right?
Because now they're being coached on how to come in
and claim asylum and what to say by lawyers, by the way.
Right.
And so it's like, and now they're just receiving
all of this money and then the child separation lawsuits
are coming out and they're wanting to pay these people
more money for the child separation
than families are getting for service members
that died in action.
It's absolutely unforgivable.
Yeah, so I find huge heartburn with that
and it's just, it's crazy.
Wow.
I don't understand their motivation.
I know, Paul, you think it's for votes
and I think that may be part of it.
It's absolutely votes.
Absolutely.
They're gonna declare Amiskey at some point.
They're gonna have a super majority.
Right, and I think that's part of it.
Amiskey.
But there's no guarantee they're gonna vote
the way they want them to.
But I think that's part of it.
What other motivation could be out there to allow this?
To break down nationalist,
you know, the thought of nationalists.
They want a one world order.
With no borders.
They want a world with no borders.
But you also have.
That doesn't make sense, that has never worked.
You have a few different things that are happening, right?
So if you look at baby boomers, right?
And how many children baby boomers were having.
And then you look at Gen X to Gen Z.
Right.
The amount of children that are happening,
there's a huge age gap, right?
So we have exponentially more people that are retiring.
Right.
Than we do that.
The birth rate's not keeping up.
In the workforce.
Right.
So, and it's the same thing that happened
to a lot of different countries, right?
Negative birth rate.
Yeah.
So you have that.
Except China real bad too.
China.
Is in worse shape than we are.
There's different, there's a couple folks that study this
that say China's done in 10 years.
I heard that.
And especially because they sat there
and they had that single child.
The one child.
Yeah, so they were killing their children if.
Well they were killing all the females, right?
That's right.
Well how do you sustain a population if you are all male?
They're saying already in like all the villages
in rural areas and stuff,
there are no women to marry the men.
Yeah.
So, I mean, they're in as much trouble as we are.
But we, they're gonna have to replenish this,
plus they want cheap workforce.
Right.
Right?
So it's not just garnering votes,
but they also want that illegal workforce
that they could do under the table.
Right.
I know.
It's just, it's crazy.
Yeah, Elon Musk has been a big,
a big, you know, proponent of telling people to have kids
because we're in trouble.
Yeah.
Seeing the big picture.
So you got, you got Wired.
I'm kind of curious here.
I was gonna click it here.
It says Elon Musk is totally wrong
about the population collapse.
Of course, Wired is the most liberal,
one of the most liberal,
one of the most liberal news organizations I've ever read.
So go ahead and click on it.
I don't know if I want to.
No, it's in your, it's in your history now.
Oh, great.
We're gonna send you emails.
You jackass.
Okay, so, all right, so.
I think this may be something we read afterwards.
The joy of smaller penises.
Oh, no.
Populate, you know what?
Things not working out.
You know what?
I don't even give a shit anymore.
Yeah, I know a lot of words.
We need to read.
All right, so it says with few,
well, Elon Musk says that,
with fewer very young people in a population,
as well as older having longer working lives,
the ratio of dependence to working age people
will gradually start to even out.
And the countries with smaller populations
benefit from innovation in countries that are growing.
You know, one of the things I've heard
as we all near the end of our work life here
the next 15 years or so, right?
Right.
Is that corporations and businesses
are starting to realize that the new crop of kids coming in
are not.
They're worthless.
Pretty much, yeah.
They're not hard workers.
They have no work ethic.
Yeah, they're not hard workers
and they're realizing that we need to hire older folks.
Ah, so maybe we can work forever.
Possibly.
I would love that.
Possibly.
Edgy, why is that?
I wanna work until I'm 90.
They have victimhood their entire childhood.
So when they get to the real world,
they're like, oh yeah, I can't handle somebody
telling me I'm a shitbag.
I don't know if it's gonna impact us,
but I think where we're at,
it's gonna be hard to find a job at this point.
So what it's gonna do. Equal to what we're doing now.
Is that there are people out there,
even in our generation.
Being a mid-50s white guy.
That if we were to lose our jobs,
you're saying it'd be hard to find another one.
An equivalent.
Yeah, cause you don't check the right box.
Yeah, right.
Well I do, I'm hearing impaired.
Well there are a lot of people out there
that are just content in life,
just absolutely being satisfactory
without going above and beyond.
They're content having, I mean, fuck man,
they go and get a job, be it $17 an hour.
Fucking being a host at a hotel.
Now it's ridiculous.
Well if that's all they wanna do,
that's, you gotta have people like that.
Now are you talking about the younger generation
is okay with that?
Are you saying older generation?
What were you saying?
Well what I'm saying is that even back in our era,
there are people out there
that are just content being satisfactory.
They're not overachievers.
Right, okay.
They don't want to.
You have to have all of them.
Like when I build my team,
I know I'm gonna have the over,
you can't have a whole team of overachievers.
Right, and you can't have a whole team
of shitty people either.
You have to have the workhorse who's gonna sit.
They don't wanna promote.
They wanna come in and do a good job every single day.
Right.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
You have those, you have your overachievers
who's really gonna push it,
then you promote them out
and you try to find another one to replace.
Yep, growth, growth, growth.
Right, and the people that really suck,
you get them out and you try to,
you replenish that way.
You can't have a team made up of the same type of people.
Right.
And you can't have a population like that either.
Because if everybody was the overachiever,
what would that look like?
Well I will tell you it becomes a challenge
when the company tells you
you can only have 10% rated excellent.
Correct.
And you can only have,
and if you have a seasoned team,
let's say you only have like five people.
And you handpicked them
because you worked with them in the past, right?
So they're all seasoned, they're all good
because you handpicked them and they came with you, right?
And then now they're telling you,
oh yeah, you can only have one excellent.
And so, and you can only have two goods.
And you have to have at least one needs improvement.
I'm like, nobody on my team needs improvement.
They're all fucking rock stars.
Right.
And they're gonna be paid or they're gonna leave.
Well that's impossible.
Statistically, that's impossible.
That's right.
And then they accuse you of being a socialist manager.
Right.
Where everybody gets the same, you know, nobody,
you know, don't incentivize anybody.
I just created an exceptional team.
That's exactly right.
Which is what you're supposed to do as a manager.
Right.
Right, make great teams.
Correct.
Well, plus you should be able to quantify it.
Right.
Right, so hey, here's all of the contributions.
And this is why they're awesome.
Right.
So if-
They're doing the work of 15 people.
Right, so if you just meet,
you don't have to have any backup.
But if you go above that,
you have to have backup and one more up,
then you really have to be able to justify it.
Right. Right.
And then you gotta, you know, stat rank them.
Because if there's a layoff, every team has to give up.
Oh yeah, I've been there.
Being a manager sucks ass, man.
It does, stack ranking sucks.
It does suck.
No.
Well I'll tell you what, jump back to this,
I'm really enjoying this bourbon.
Yeah, no, it's quality.
It definitely got better as it went.
Isn't it interesting how it does that?
I mean, and it's been breathing,
technically breathing in that bottle
for months and months and months.
But when it's in that glass and it opens up,
it's amazing.
Yeah, it starts to release those notes.
You just start taking in.
Well I'll tell you what, this first half of the podcast
has been, you know, it started off kinda weird.
Mostly because of you, Paul.
Yeah, I know, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, listener.
Well Chad, I'm glad you came out.
You gonna stick around for the second half?
Yeah, absolutely.
Well we've got lots of things to talk about.
We've got deaths.
What else we got?
Yeah, it's always exciting.
To talk about, you know, celebrity deaths.
Well, we could talk a little bit about Biden.
Let me see here.
I had to, let me see if I could get over there.
All right, look at there.
You know what I would like to talk about?
Oh yeah, listen to that.
That is some loud ass shit.
Crazy loud.
This is, you trying to drown me out?
Hey, I will not be silenced.
No.
I will not be censored.
My God, my ears hurt.
All right, whatever.
Dude.
Holy shit.
How's it gonna close if the,
all right, just turn it off.
Can you edit later?
God almighty.
Wow.
My ears are bleeding.
I can't hear.
Paul, can I borrow one of your hearing aids?
I'm Paul.
I'm Sean.
I'm Joe.
Oh Jesus.
Oh, what a gay.
That was so gay.
Thank you.
It's still that way.
I can't hear you at all.
Oh, it's very loud.
Oh, you think?
Yeah.
And our special guest.
And I'm Chad.
All right, we'll catch you second time.
Dudes like us, May 9th, suck it.
