31 and a half or 30 and a half? 30 and a half. That's how long I went without a drop of
alcohol. You know what? It doesn't matter. You did good. You did good. You wanted to
hold off on the drinking for a month and a month could be construed as 28 days, 30 or
31. But you know what? The spirit of a month is four weeks. Right. So fuck them. Yeah.
I'm happy for you. You did it because you wanted to do it and hats off to you for that.
Yeah. I wanted to break some habits. You drank two thirds of a bourbon bottle today. Yeah.
I've been drinking since 1201. You've thrown up twice. That was before you even got here.
And Jeff and I were taking turns giving you butt-loosed bourbon. Yes. That's fantastic.
So speaking of our bourbon, our first one was fantastic. Oh, my God. Where's the fucking
bottle? And we knew it was this one. We don't even need it is a great disappointment because
Paul founded on a best bourbons to buy or something like that. Right. You know, I think
maybe it was underrated. Maybe it was like a list of kind of shit bourbons that were
not that bad. Shit bourbons. I don't think it was shit bourbons. I think it was probably
bourbons that you may not be aware of that are economically. How much was this? This
was forty five bucks. I mean, that's not bad, but still it should have been better. So anyway,
so I found it. They finally finally had its cold. It's green river. The pride of Owens
and Burrow, Kentucky. And this is the weeded bourbon. Yeah. Proof is it's 90 proof and
it is not good. It's not good. I think it's pretty much consensus with the four of us
that we don't like it. Yeah. Well, hold on. Let me do another taste. Let me let's let's
dig in here. It's heartbreaking. I mean, maybe you guys come back to this in a couple months
and see if it got better. But right now, just opened, freshly cracked. It is. It's rough.
I kind of have a kind of has a nutty taste. It has trail mix. When I smell it, I kind
of smell finger paint. You know that smell finger paint has? That is rough. That is your
assessment right there. Yeah, it's so it smells like when I change the oil of my car. Yeah.
And I've got oil all over my hands. Smells like that. You know, when you go to the bathroom,
you take a dump for a green river, a green river, Kentucky straight bourbon, a legacy
revived. It's the Green River Distilling Company founded by McCulloch. J. W. began his whiskey
in eighteen eighty five, traveled the world, Pormontas brand, River River promoters brand
in nineteen and eighty. This stuff tastes like, you know, is it getting is it getting
better? I like it a hair better right there. Better. I do, too. It's some sweetness coming
out with it now that is now that it's breathe. Maybe it has to be a long breather. I think
that the we probably we probably need to coin that off gas. Right. You know, when we first
opened it and poured it, there was a lot of ethanol coming off of it. It was now that
it's breathed a little bit, it's it's got some it's got some spicy notes to it. Some
aroma of cinnamon, dry cherry. OK, first off, that's not the one we're drinking and finger
paint. Shut up, Paul. That isn't that's we're drinking the weeded one. You know, we have
the weeded. Don't don't don't don't run on this parade. Yeah. You know how hard it was
for me to pull this up? I know. Our whiskey, you were very challenged to do the stone fruit
and it's not the stone fruit. You cock. Wow. Well, hold on. Where is it at now? Our whiskey,
pull it up there and you got straight bourbon. I don't even see the I don't see the other
one in there. The weeded. Where's the weeded? I don't see it. Maybe it's a experimental
body to sign up. Maybe they got rid of it off of their website. They pushed it to based
on feedback. It's not horrible. We got the last one. All right, whatever. All right.
So look, I am raising the bar from my my earlier claim that this is shit because the ethanol
is small or the off gas. It's it's released a little bit and you can actually taste some
notes came out. Yeah, for sure. And it really it's it's it's a little sweeter. It's nuttier.
Right. So the key is with this green river, pour it and let it sit for about five minutes.
Oh, yeah. That's definitely different right now. It's a long, long or either or open it
and then wait a couple of weeks before you actually have it. Well, that's the key. So
if we try this again in a month, you'll be like, this is amazing. One of the one of the
gentlemen that we we buy through Total Wine, his name is Stan. And Stan is a true advocate
when it comes to popping the Hymen on these bottles and letting them breathe for a couple
of minutes and then put the cork back on. He says that exposure allows it to do another
another process of aging, so to speak, in a different way, because you release the off
gas immediately, let it breathe a little bit, then cork it back up, you know, whatever.
Maybe this is one of these reasons. It did amazing job. Just this much. It did. It made
a difference. Yeah. So still not my favorite. It's probably five and a half to six for me.
Yeah. But yeah, it jumped up though. It was a two or three when I first tasted it. Now
it's a five or six, honestly. So do we venture and try the standard bourbon? Well, we need
a collection. So, you know, oh, Green River, the regular bourbon, the regular, maybe the
way I would say sure. I mean, why not? Maybe the weeded is what's a barrel strength one.
I'd prefer something a little bit. Well, they only had to do they had this one and I got
this one and so the river because we typically like weeded bourbons. Yeah, I'm surprised
this is so. Anyway, it's the bottle's kind of unique. It's kind of like a horseshoe.
Yeah, it is flat on one side and round on the other. So not a bad bottle. Yeah, it's
it's a it's a it's a nice bottle. I think the bottom is a horseshoe. It's oh yeah, sure.
Well, there you go. See, things are really coming together for this. Well played, sir.
Yeah, well played. But you know, if you're at a friend's house and he poised you a glass
of this, it would none of us would spit it out. Right. I mean, we're now we run for so
we may have some small. Yes, I'm not. I just dumped a coke in it. Well, if we go over if
we if we were ever says, hey, I guess a green river or the twenty twenty we're not allowed
to put in old souls in our drinks. What do you got back? Yeah. Give me the green river.
Oh, river. I mean, yeah, if you're given a choice between old soul and Green River. Oh,
my God. They would slap you. You ever been slapped or green?
It's kind of like your fucking earrings.
Bang, green river or makers mark makers mark. Take it back. I think so. Like, but I like
the Russian slap contest. I don't think I've ever had makers. So retarded. You know, it's
even more retarded. Bakers were the Russian slap. The standard is I'm talking about the
standard that do it. I can't see a conversation right now. And then they've brought it to
these states. Yeah, they have. Now they've got these slapping contests all over the place.
I'm sorry. Did I say the video of the guy flapping his dick trying to pump himself up
for the next lift? That's not to your desk. Not to. I'm sorry. Go on. What was I? Did
you say slapping his dick? His penis out was slapping it. No, he was like a bikini and
he was psyching himself up to do a sumo lift or something like that. And he's. I'll send
it to you. No, no, no, no, no, we're good. Yeah, there's no reason. You said so many
things that when we open them, oh my God, we have to be we have to we have to be patient.
Sean, what? Stop talking. You sent me one of eight women in dresses. Oh God, you sent
me one of women standing on a stage in dresses, touching themselves and singing. That is wrong.
That is nuts bongo. That's like the opposite of the bongos from the. Why? Why? Howard Stern
show. Why do you look at it and then send it to people? Because so there's something
wrong with that. Sometimes it's one of those things like, damn, I saw that someone else
has to suffer. I need to torture others. Well, I sent you. That is apparently Sean's motto.
A video of of women. It was there was a choir chorus line. It was like basically like eight
women in a semicircle and they were all like they're masturbating. Yeah, they're touching
them. They were touching themselves. They're they're feminists mocking men masturbating.
So they were they were mocking men masturbating. They weren't touching themselves. They were
pretending there was a penis. Oh, and they were like you completely missed the spirit
of the. Yeah. Well, I want to watch it again. You have to really zoom in and look. Yeah,
way to not analyze the video that he's sending you. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Even though in Paul's
defense there there there have been some sketchy videos, but you know what? Have what's bad?
I think Jeff is the far worse than now. What's bad is shadow sense. Something's missed it
right away. No, you are far worse. You should shadow sense of them. Then you get you get
stuck in it. You're like, OK, that's a bad one. I need to send it. And I catch myself
like I got to get out of this. It makes you feel better. You're both horrible retards when
it comes to we have a guest. Well, hello. Oh, my wife won the war tonight. Oh, no way.
Yes. She best dressed. All right. Well, let me read this. Active member of the year, truly
22 to 23. Very nice. I'm sorry. What was that? You said about the last names. What is wrong
with you? She's been drinking. Very nice. Very nice. Congratulations. Was it was a Green
River? They had mint juleps. It's because of the Kentucky Derby. There you go. Active
member of the year. Thanks for sharing. She did that smack with authority. We had a brief
special guest, a very, very good friend of Jeff's wife and Andrea. And she presented
the award that she won tonight. That's outstanding. Yeah, it's very nice. Pretty sure if you were
standing, you would have got good game over the table. Yeah, could be. That was a that
was pretty powerful. That was a powerful congratulate hips got into that. Or a slap. Yes. All right.
What the summer frock she had on the summer frock was just a dress one. It was a colorful
dress. Yeah, very summery, very illuminating. So we we got the Green River and you know
what? It's that brand is course. It's actually getting better and better. I kind of like
it. And Jeff does send the worst videos. Oh, that's right. We're talking about it. Yeah.
So Jeff says the worst. He says big whales. No pool. No, Jeff. Look, stop. You said the
worst period. No, there is you find these racist things. So here, send us to your Asian
friend. Yeah, totally appropriate. Well, that was crazy. I cannot believe I've never seen
that before. Of course, you know, sushi responded with some other stuff. I thought that was
kind of crazy. Let's see if I can. You guys are a train wreck. You do not need to play
this right now. What what you're looking for and what you're wanting to play singing.
What the hell was that? And she like got in that Asian woman's face. This is a woman that
was like singing in front of people. She gets into this Asian lady's face right here. She's
like a blonde. Yes. I don't know what that's from. I don't know, but it was very cringe
worthy. Yes. She was proud. She was the the the signage under the the post was I'm uncomfortable
watching this. Well, speaking of because she's like, I want to be a ninja. Have you ever
seen the West Virginia Ninja? Oh, no. West Virginia Ninja. Is that the guys? I was out
by Ninja. Were those guys? My God. This is classic. Obviously, this is dudes like us.
Second half. It's May 9th. We're back again with the Green River. We've already talked
about that in the short videos. Dudes like us. I'm Sean. I'm Paul. I'm Jeff. And we have
a special guest all the way from Las Vegas. Chad. Yes. Yeah. It's pretty anti-combat.
Yeah. What do you want? The enthusiasm is overwhelming. Speaking of, I will be in Las
Vegas this weekend. You will. Yes. I was standing. Where are you staying? The Bellagio. Sweet.
God. This must be a tier one thing. It's my son. It's his birthday. There you go. And
Bellagio is supposed to be a nice hotel. I mean, now they're. And? It's old. Yeah. You
were saying that. Like we were having a conversation about how the Oakland Athletics are moving
to Vegas. They are. And they're going to bulldoze the Rio. Yep. Tearing down the Rio. That's
where they're going to put the stadium. And I thought to me, I would have told you that
the Rio and the Bellagio are some of the newer ones on the script. I mean, and apparently
Rio is not even on the strip. That tells you how much I know about Vegas. Yeah. Rio's the
old downtown, right? No, it's off strip. So it's it's off of Tropicana. I think it is,
but it's west of the strip. But look at Vegas making this sport, making a sports move, man.
So they stole the Raiders. Now they're stealing the athletics from Oakland. What is this MSG
sphere that's going on out there? It's the largest circular building in the world or
something like that. Yeah. So I mean, it's just like a giant Epcot looking building,
but they they did. Well, you to the entire outside of it is screens. Oh, really? Yeah.
Is it a casino? What is it? It's no. Well, you to it's a concert venue, I believe. Oh,
OK. And you to is opening the place up here in by the end of the month. OK, so it's a
gigantic sphere. And you're saying everything is screens. Yeah, it's supposed to all be
screens. And I don't know if it's on the like the oh, you mean like TV screens? Yeah. Oh,
so it's going to look like the I was like, it's a giant like the Epcot Center, perhaps.
Yeah. So it's supposed to be able to project whatever. Yeah. Oh, my God. That was a big
ball. It's a big sphere, like you said. Yeah. They say it's the largest in the world. Yeah.
It was it was pretty interesting watching them build it. Is it turned on yet? I have
so I don't go down there very often. So I have not seen. When you look at the pictures
of this thing, very impressive. The construction seems very simple, though. And I'll tell you
what, I bet it's I bet it's tornado safe because of the weight shaped. Do you have tornadoes
and because of all the tornadoes we have? Well, dust storms. Yeah. To be fair, I mean, we
do have. It's been a long time since we did that. There you go. That's that's awesome.
Yeah. We we do get 80 mile an hour winds, which are just under, I guess, tornado status.
But 85 is strong enough to rip off roof shingles and all kinds of other stuff about sphere
shingles. I don't know. I don't think those are shingles. Yeah. What about it was everything
is triangular when they built it. Everything was triangular. So it's it's all triangles
making up the sphere. That's the way that's the way I've got center as well. All those
other triangles because it's a dodecahedron. Close. What the hell did you just call me?
Well, you probably know. You probably know that the name of the structure that has a
million circles that makes it a sphere is a dodecahedron. All right. So there are a
lot of triangles and are they are they isosceles triangles? They're obtuse. I don't think they're
up to their acute. I think they're ugly. Where is that circus circus? I want to finalize
this Green River because I know I pound the fuck out of it, but I'm going to pound it
again. I'm dropping whatever I rated it down to a three. All right. You're going down now.
I'm going down. My last poll on it was actually good. Now my last poll on it. I'm kind of
like, dude, this tastes like it's just it's just not good. I'm still at about a five.
It's not bad. Anyway, I know we covered that. It's going all over the place. It's very interesting.
I don't think we've had that experience before where we're fluctuating on whether like not
whether we like it or not, because I think we all the consensus is very, very syrupy
to me. It's just changing on us. I would not buy that again. Will I try the bourbon? Yes,
I would not buy that again. Very simple. So this this building with this thing looks like
when it's lit up. What are they going to do in there? They're going to have like live
performances. Yeah. Yeah. So are people outside going to be able to see what's going on on
the inside just by staring at the sphere? I honestly don't know. Yeah, I'm the worst
Las Vegas. When is it going to be open? The end of the month. You two. I said that you
two is open it up with a concert by the end of the month. You two. It's down South Strip.
So this the Ferris wheel in the back, that's Circa there. So it's basically like where
the new stadium is. It's across a little bit. You know what I'm saying? It's on the other
side, the east side of the strip. So is you two really still relevant? Yeah, evidently.
They just had a concert in Vegas and there were several people that were just jumping
all over tickets, but they were ridiculously priced. Yeah, there's still I just would think
the younger generation is like it's too far removed from the younger generation. It's
not the younger generation. It's us. Well, I get it. But they're still releasing albums.
I mean, but 20 and 30 year olds are still going to concerts. They're still somehow releasing
albums, not that they're any good. I'm like, OK, that's one of the arguments I was making
when they were like shit. Fine. Look at the price of these. Oh, that fucking bullshit.
Five thousand dollars. Well, fucking see, let's let's look at the nosebleeds. The nosebleeds
are around six, seven hundred bucks. Fuck out. How much for one oh six? That doesn't
even show that the front row is just as much as the second row. That's crazy. That's ridiculous.
How much is a general admission? Those are 20,000. Yeah, that's going to be standing
room. Yeah. So, you know, twenty five hundred bucks. You know, oh, that's two tickets. That's
true. But it's each. Yeah, it does say each in here. Holy two tickets are twenty. So,
man, look, if you are a hardcore YouTube fan, then no way. Well, you know what? I how much
did you drop off on the playoff games to go watch your gay team? What is it? The Tennessee
Titans? I would have done that either. I think there are twenty five hundred apiece. Well,
I'm kidding. Oh, well, that's like Super Bowl ticket prices. There's no way I would do that.
I spent I think it was like one hundred and twenty bucks. Oh, I spent I spent a lot of
money on my playoff tickets for the first round against San Francisco for the Dallas
Cowboys for Preston and I to go. It was a ridiculous amount. I don't remember how much
they were, but it was a ridiculous amount of money. Yeah. There's definitely a threshold
where I'm like, I don't care. I want to say it was close to thirty five hundred bucks.
Yeah, no way. No way would I do that. I will watch that on TV all day. Absolutely. Well,
it was for the experience and you don't do it very often. I had a bonus come in. All
kinds of shit was going on. Did you go to an awesome stadium? At least we went to the
Arlington Stadium. Yeah. Yeah, that's nice. Yeah, it was nice. You know, drinks. I mean,
I think I spent an additional three, four hundred bucks while I was there. You know,
just because I was the after the game environment, the environment was fine. The people that
are, you know, shit happens, man. My brother in law was with me and his son. And when back
then when Wes would get started drinking, he'd get a little volatile and his son is
a chip off the old block. And God bless it, man. We started. They were going to fight
everybody. Oh, my God. It wasn't just them. OK, it was everybody was angry. It was a tribal
thing between two teams and we're walking down and everyone's upset because that was
how was lost. That's what they ran out of time and they ran up into Dak ran into his
butt. It was just a terrible ending to the game. Yeah, because he started scrambling
and took too much time scrambling. Well, though, the ref had the whole game was a train wreck.
It was just a comedy of errors on our behalf. And it was just like, are you kidding me?
So when the game ended, we were leaving and we're looking not me, the you know, the people
that are upset are looking for a reason to get all upset. Oh, yeah. Forty niner fan.
Yeah. So it was just constant like I was like playing bouncer the whole time. Just you know,
it was just like this is this is this is what I signed up for. No. Talk about making you
feel like you wasted your money. Right. I mean, at that point, you're killing the experience.
That's the way it ended. And I was disappointed from that perspective. I had a good time all
the way up to that. And I didn't care about the money because I even stood in line and
I even bought like tequila shots and I spent a ridiculous amount of money for a little
tiny shots that give you. And I'm like, really? I just dropped 40 bucks on a double tequila.
Load that motherfucker up for me. Come on, man. Help a hunk. Yeah. You know, they say
that I probably did. Dude, you're talking to Sean. Do you think I said that? I said
they just looked at you and they're like, next. Well, that's why they poured a single.
That's why I got a double because they poured it and I was like, what is this? Right. Not
even like an ounce. Look at that. Those thirty six hundred dollar ones sold two hours ago.
That would have spent seventy two hundred dollars. Well, you know, that's a nutshell
that really that enjoy the YouTube. I like YouTube. I mean, I won't go to their concerts.
I mean, I won't even buy their albums anymore because but back in the in the 80s, when the
Joshua Tree was out there, that was a great album. I enjoyed it. Absolutely. The reality
is, guys, there's so many people with tons of money and this is an excuse for them to
fly into Vegas for the weekend, blow 20 grand on, you know. Yeah, this is chump changed
for a lot of change for a lot of people. There is a we appreciate it. Yeah. If you can do
it all in. Absolutely. I get it. I wouldn't do it. Yeah. But the structure itself, the
atmosphere, impressive. Yeah, it's it's it's I wonder. Well, when we're out there this
weekend, I'm curious. That's why I ask is if it's turned on the outside, it'll be interesting
to see. Very. Yeah. So it's just south of the Topgolf that they have down there. I know
the Excalibur on one end and you get the big top circus circus, the tower at the other
end. Yeah, it's it's kind of crazy. So now they have it's kind of it's funny. So any
of that. So we're looking at a picture of downtown or we'll get a picture of Vegas and
I've got like that. There was not there last time I was there. What was the circus? Circa
Circa is the first will. Yeah. So where's where is you see this? You see this large
orb coming out of the earth that looks like it looks magical. Excalibur is going to be
down this way. So OK, because so love that's. Caesar is that a simulated picture that is
that actually with the sphere turned on? No, that's a simulated. OK. Yeah. And then so
then you have the Palazzo and then you have what's reserved. Those are the wind towers
right there. And so what they're not showing you is like where Circus Circus is, which
is the biggest shithole where you feel like you need to wear like a bulletproof vest and
be carrying or a hazmat suit. It's it's ridiculous. And then right there, they now have the resort
world by Hilton. And it's a beautiful new tower that looks like the wind towers. And
it's right there and downtown right there. It's it's such a shithole. It just is that
where they have the covered walkway? No, that thing's kind of cool. That's so that's old
downtown Las Vegas. OK, right. So that's where Fremont Street and everything. Yes. Yes. I've
never been to the Golden Nugget. I've never been invited. There's there's two different
areas. Jeff and I have gone a ton of times. So this is strip. Right. And then the other
up northeast of this is where downtown is, where all of the old Vegas is. But I mean,
we call it old Vegas now. But all of this is where they basically imploded all of the
original buildings and built new right. Right. The Bellagio in relation to this. No, it's
I think it's that one area. OK. All right. I know where I'm at then. Yeah. So that's
nice. There's Paris because I think love is actually on the OK. But I'm not sure. All
right. It's been several years. Last time I went out there is we were visiting my dad
and we flew into Vegas. We drove up to Tahoe. It's about an hour drive through that desert.
Right. And Brandon, my oldest was, I think, 14 or 15, youngest was 12, 13, and they really
enjoyed walking down the strip, seeing all the street performers, the ladies with their
boobs hanging out. Take a picture. Oh, yeah. Don't forget the little cards of all the topless
strippers. Oh, yeah. They love that, too. All the flippers. These guys were handing
that stuff out. Brandon looked at I was like, here, let me have that. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Awful.
What was it? They were passing out like business cards. No, it's all the different clubs. Although
that but they're like topless women. Yeah. So it's it's like cards for escort services
and stuff like that. Do they have like a menu on there that you just like, hey, look, I
want this, this, that. Well, and then they do have different ones that will take you
to the bunny ranch so that you can go legally. The bunny ranch, I'm assuming, is the Playboy
Mansion. No, it's a whorehouse. Yeah. So it's a famous whorehouse. Correct. Out in Perump,
it's just outside the city limits. It's legal prostitution. There is a TV show. I thought
it was legal everywhere in Nevada. There was a TV show on HBO or the movie chat or something
out there about the bunny ranch. Yeah. And it was about you. They I don't think that
they showed the sex or anything, but but yeah, they had the hookers and all that stuff. They
have no kidding porn stars that work there. The Moonlight Bunny Ranch, illegal license
brothel in Mount House, Nevada. Yeah, it's owned by some bald dude. Danny Hoff, Dennis
Hoff ran for governor or something, didn't he? Yeah, he ran for office down there just
because he wanted to try to get everything legalized there. So you see how far it is
because Vegas is way down towards the point down there and you see how far that is. So
it's a pretty good drive. Oh, that's up there by. It's along with a drive for a boner. Oh,
is that just zoomed in? Okay. Yeah. All right. That's a little lake there. Yeah, that's that
is a ways away, man. Yeah, I mean, it's it's got to be outside the city limits. Yeah, yeah,
I get that. Right. Yeah. They have that whole thing. Yeah, it is kind of gross. And it's
not a nice you look at it. It looks like, oh, it's dumpy. Yeah. It's a nice looking
place you walk. And again, on the show, they have prison and everything. It kind of like
the videotape you and everything probably use if you ever come, you know, popular kind
of like based off of that TV show, I would say they absolutely. Yeah, because they did
have cameras in the rooms. Yeah. All over the room. Not just in the corner. Yeah. Randomly.
It was like a different perspective. I can't imagine like sitting there thinking everything's
private and all of a sudden you're getting your puppy wet and it's filmed all over the
planet. Forget that. Who knows? Yeah. So do you have any plans on what you're going to
do down there? I am just going I'm going. Part of it is also my son's, his girlfriend
is graduating from college. Part of it is that plus his 21st birthday. So we're flying
out there with her parents and us, my wife and my son and myself. And I'm letting the
ladies plan everything. Very good. So I'm just going for the. Yeah, because you're not
much of a gambler. No, I don't gamble really at all. Right. So I probably will a little
bit out there. You guys gonna go slots, but I won't do maybe some shows maybe. So stay
away. Stay away from here. Okay. Let's stay away from what quarter slots go to penny slots,
penny slots and you can bet up to higher denominations, but you will win way more money than you will
if you go to quarter dollar, the four dollars. Really? I didn't know that. Yeah. So you bet
like a hundred pennies at a time, even more than that. So you can bet up to like twenty
five bucks a hand. Right. And just because they're a mess. Right. They're usually like
five or six high and the same. Yeah. Like a giant matrix. Yeah. Yeah. And it's nuts.
And you're just like, oh, hopefully crap happens. Right. But all of the people that regularly
gamble that aren't playing tables, right. That I know that when I have a guy that's
like professional gamblers. No, no, no, no. Guys that do this part time. So one of the
guys that I work with, he literally went up a tax bracket because he was winning so much
playing quarters, the penny slots. Right. He was betting high amounts. Yeah. And he
was going in there covering every line on the board. He was going in there with like
five hundred bucks. And he was just like, OK, but he was walking out and he would hit
like ten grand, twelve grand and stuff like that. And that's the type of stuff. But it
just depends. I mean, I guess it's luck. And yeah, he gave a bunch back. But the fact of
the matter is that he was gambling enough and winning enough on penny slots that he
went up a tax bracket. For the people who are professional gamblers, I've been told
they can make an average of like sixty to sixty five thousand a year. Well, yeah, I
mean, they that's all they do. You should see the slot tournaments. That didn't seem
like a lot slot. I mean, well, if you're not working, all you're doing is gambling all
day long every day. I mean, and you make sixty five thousand a year. I mean, that's
that's a lot more than that's not a guaranteed income, though. No, but mean. I mean, if
you average a hundred sixty five grand a year, you win one hundred thirty one year
and nothing the next. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if it's a pretty solid
average. They tax that right away. So when you get your money, it's already taxed. So
you don't have to worry about reporting it to the IRS. I shouldn't say that they tax
it right away. They make you fill out a tax form immediately. It is reported but not
taken from it. Yeah. So how do they confirm that you filled it out correctly if you get
audited? Well, no, no, no. So as soon as you as soon as you win before you can actually
take your money, they hand you the threshold, though, right? Yes. What's the threshold?
Because I could win two hundred bucks, five hundred ninety nine dollars. Six hundred
bucks. I think it's more than that. There's a threshold because I want six hundred bucks
out there on a on a made of change now. Yeah. So this was before Brandon was born. So twenty
four years ago. Well, then it would have been ten grand. Right. So that would have been
the threshold if you won that. Now I'm not so sure. I don't know if it's like seven
hundred bucks or six hundred bucks now or what. So I never win. I never win shit. So
you play the penny. Both. It's odd. So I. Well, me and my dad, we have the worst luck
and we know that it's just giving money away. Right. That's what I look at. I see it as
entertainment funds. I have a hundred bucks. And if it's gone in two minutes, it's gone.
If it lasts me three hours and that's great. It is. Yeah. Right. So that's right. That's
how I look at it. It's a ticket for entertainment. And then you have to look at it that way.
I do have a hundred bucks of a hundred bucks. That's our entertainment for the for the night
or whatever. Right. Right. Yeah. Because otherwise you every time you give them another twenty
because you're down. You're stressing out. I mean, what does how's that fun? No. So if
both of us are gone quick, we're like, all right, then we'll walk around at that point
or go watch TV and then go have seventeen dollar drinks that are announced. Well, so
that's what I considered anyway. Right. So when you put twenty dollars in the machine
and they give you a drink, I'm just like, oh, there's a twenty dollar drink. That's
a good point. Yeah. But but maybe maybe they've gotten better. But the last time I went, you
know, that's what they say all the time. Oh, the food is cheap and you get free drinks
and food's not cheap. OK. First off, the food is not cheap and they never came around. So
you could still find cheap, especially like breakfast. Like if you want that eight dollars
steak and eggs. Right. You can still find that. Right. And then in Fremont. Right. Like
down there. No. So where the old hard rock used to be just up the street was. Is it Staten
Island? Something like that. So you said hard what hard rock? Yeah. So I think it was I
think it's no Ellis Island is what it's called. And we would always go pregame before we went
to concerts at the hard rock. So we we would go there and did it was three fifty four twenty
ounce beers. Nice. Damn. Right. And then so you would just sit there and we would pregame
before we went to the concert and we're paying fifteen dollars for a little solo cup. Oh,
yeah. Of beer. Not a twenty ounce solo cup. The little solo cups. Right. Yeah. So it was
that place is great. But it is you walk into there and it's like thick with smoke. It's
one of the few places that you could still get that where you're like cutting the smoke
as you go in. But yeah, forget that. I would just I would just pregame like outside. I
carry a just bring in your own flask. Well, I mean, are your minis are you allowed to
walk around with alcohol? You're you're doing Dune body suit. So yes and no. It depends
on where you're at. I think on the strip you can write yes, because I've seen what again
this was ten years ago. There was a bunch of people walking up and down with these huge
yards of booze from Fat Tuesdays. So it's when it's plastic. It's OK when you're carrying
around glass. Not OK. Right. So if you have a beer bottle, if you have a beer can probably
OK. I don't know if they're going to hustle you or not. So again, it's probably going
to depend on the cop and what you're doing. So I just need to go buy one of those extremely
large yards that they sell at Fat Tuesdays. Yeah. And just fill it up with my own beverage.
There you go. Then walk around. Yeah. I'd like I'd like a yard of water, please. Or
bourbon coke. I still I told Shelley the story about when you went to Nacogdocious and it
was any any drink pitchers for five bucks. I know. And you did a bourbon coke, a Jack
and Coke in a pitcher. And each one of us had one. One of you. Yes. Oh, multiples. We
were blown up, blown up. And she was like, yeah, the challenge isn't like getting the
booze for how much? Five bucks was five bucks. Five bucks. The challenges isn't the drink.
The challenge is finding a pitcher. And you yeah, you said like you went over and grabbed
some. I was like, I just I saw one. I was like, hey, guys, thanks. And I went over there.
They cleaned it out. Fucking dude, when she filled it out. Yeah. You said you just glug,
glug, glug, glug, glug. No, no, she took the bottle. Jack Daniels took the poor off,
spun it. So the Koreans, that little whirlwind and filled the pitcher up and then added a
little glug, glug, glug of up. Maybe not all the way up, but she was swinging. I mean,
it was a shitload of bourbon in there because we were blown up, blown up. Yeah. I don't
know. We almost got in a fight. Remember that because Brandon and had those two girls there.
And then the group that now they were going to fight me. I wasn't fighting. Well, the
thing is the group that he got in a bar fight with showed up and he's like, yeah, those
are the guys we got in a bar fight with. And we were just like, I do remember that. Oh,
we got all sausage. And then you started trumping muscle muscle. I felt I flexed too hard. Why
does my butt hurt? Yeah, that's that was that was that was a good night. I find if you buy
some of these college students beers, they become your best friend. Oh, yeah, because
I think they would freak out. There were some guys there that I was I was kind of fucking
with a little bit. I don't remember. Imagine that. Well, I mean, it wasn't it wasn't kind
of a playful way. But then they I want to say they almost got irritated. I was like,
look, let me buy a couple of beers. It's not what I meant. And I bought him a couple beers.
Next thing you know, they're all chummy and having a good time. This guy's an asshole,
but he buys his beer. Yeah, exactly. So I was calling it. Fuck it. I don't care. I'll
just buy beers. Yeah, that's what I can go. Listen, you all going to hate me, but I'm
going to buy your drink. So it's fine. That's way better than a swollen face. Yeah. Speaking
of swollen face, did you guys see that video? One of us circulated of that young man that
they were doing some car racing and they were doing the the the inner intersection shut
down the what? But they do the they spin the cars and they weren't racing. They were just
well, they were. I don't do it. They do that in Vegas, too. They just do. They call it
a takeover. They call it a they basically had they had a car, the cars that were doing
donuts. Right. And the car that was doing the donut hit another car and the guy gets out
of the car. I said to that he was upset. He was like, hey, man, what's up? And they beat
him. They may have killed him. Do you know the story on it? I don't know. He was he was
completely unconscious and they were just kicking him and hitting him and and making
fun of him and smashing his head. He was just laying there bloody. He could have been killed.
I have no idea. So it was the guy that was doing the donuts got the shit kicked out or
they got the guy that he was like, it was like one of us driving through at the wrong
time and got hit, got out. The guy was like, hey, they just jumped him, jumped his ass
and beat the shit out of him. Yeah. And at the very end, it was all tribal. Look, honestly,
I'm a kid shit for this, but I don't care. All angry and tribal jumping around like a
bunch of fucking maniacs and thinking and laughing and in this and in that he all videotaped
in. Man, what the fuck is that shit all about? And you know what? You're seeing it more and
more every day. It's disgusting. And I don't care what side of the race you're at. It's
disgusting. White people doing it to black people, Mexicans. It doesn't fucking matter.
What is going on with humanity where they think this is okay. I know. I agree. It's
disgusting. I'm seeing and that poor guy after example, after example, poor guy was beaten
to a pulp. He did nothing wrong. No, it makes me mad. I know. No one, no one. I think I
would have shot. I would have killed people. I know what it would have been if I would
have been there. But my point is no one even like said, okay, that's enough guys. Like
leave them alone. They got their video out because the very last guy put a five gallon
home Depot bucket over his head. Yeah. And then start taking pictures of him. Yeah. More
laughing. Oh, meanwhile, the guy was like dead or, oh man, he was, he was jacked up.
He was jacked up and people were just coming by and kicking him and just, I don't get it.
I don't get where the hate and the rage and the anger. It's this, it's, I don't get it.
It's this campaign that's going on. It's this reparations campaign. I think is fueling it.
I think black lives matter has fueled it. I think it's just like right now they've got
some sort of a incident that happened in New York city on the subway where you had multiple
people restraining some guy that was out of control and has a history of being out of
control and was released a myriad of times from the health psych department. He was,
he was in a top 50 watch list. Yes. New York city top 50, 50, 5 million people, 8 million
people in New York. Yeah. Okay. And then this is the Marine, the Marine killed him. It didn't
matter who it is. I mean, the guy died. Yeah. Yeah. He put him in a choke hold and the guy
ended up dying and now they're going to charge him with murder. Well, no, they, well, they're
going to that's what, that's what the people want. And now they're protesting in the subway
standing on the tracks. I'll say on the tracks and not letting people get out of the subway.
It's just out of control and there needs to be somebody of authority that needs to look,
this all starts at the home. I mean, we've, we've said this over and over. It's too late
for these kids that are into their puberty. You know, it's too late to program those people.
It's too late. They're lost in the system. Right. It'll be a miracle to turn their lives
around. Sorry. That's, that's the reality of it. I don't disagree. It's too, it's sad
because it's wrong. You know, they weren't brought up the right way. And I don't want
to throw stones at the Democrats for creating an environment for people to fail, for communities
to fail. Here's, here's what makes me upset though. I mean, a lot of times we discount
things that happen like in different parts of the United States or even in the world
because we think, you know, well that, that, you know, that there's something different
about those are inner city or, or it's this or it's that. Well, look at the, look at the
Frisco, the Frisco fair. Yeah. It just happened down the street. Yeah. Frisco fair. We had,
we had a bunch of thugs getting into fights. Some gunshots went off and the Frisco police,
like 25 police have to, had to show up and break up fights. And so they like, fuck this.
We're revoking your, your license. We're shutting the fair down permanently. Done. It don't
ever come back. Yep. And I don't even go to that. And then when you see the videos again,
the same, the same thing, the same type of people. And then, and then did you see, did
you hear about the, uh, uh, video of the fight in some ritzy Beverly Hills or, or Hollywood
shopping center that fights breaking out and same kind of thing. Are they all wearing nice
clothes now? Okay. Nice clothes, but it's all very tribal. The same, same, same. Everyone's
having a good time. It's a party and this is just part of the party. Fuck it. Fuck humanity.
Fuck this person's humanity, whoever they are. Right. And they don't, they don't take
it to the fact that that somebody's child or somebody's father or grandfather. It's
disgusting. It's absolutely disgusting. And I'm telling you that layer of humanity needs
to be euthanized. Wow. I don't know. But it's, it's the disease of social media, right?
That, because if you're not getting likes, right? If you're not being able to sit there
and record this, I don't think that's it. I think it is. Oh, it absolutely is. It's
a big component. It may be a big component of it, but I'll tell you what the, you're
creating an entire generation of narcissists. Hmm. Look at me. Yeah. How many likes I got?
Everything, everything is, Oh, look what I did. Whether it's illegal or just a little
bit shady or just outright, just, you know, terrible, but it's, it's how many people can
sit there and laugh at this or whatever. Ha ha. Oh yeah. Look at how many followers I
have because of this video that I post. The Tik Tok challenge of people, cold cocking,
old people just walking down the street. Yeah. I mean that is, so they're wanting people
to go, no, no way. Oh my God. Like knocked him out in one punch. They want people to
react like that when they post their videos of them sucker punching old people and kill
them in some cases. They have, they have. I mean, what's the, back to your point about
the inhumanity. I mean, we have lost the value of life. Well, and we all know what the solution
is. Well, it's just, it's just like, uh, I think we talked about a year ago where so
not Philadelphia or New York, where the girl was getting raped on the subway. Yeah. I think
45 minutes and people were just sitting there videoing it instead instead of helping intervening.
Yeah. In front of them on the, on the ground, she was getting raped and she was screaming
for help. And I think all those people got charged as well. I hope so. Well, I don't
know what the outcome of it was, but that's, that's what we're dealing with. Yeah. And
then when someone steps up, like this guy did the other day, the Marine down now he's
like, you're going to get murdered. Yeah. They're charging him with murder. Yeah. Well,
there's no morality, right? So if you, again, so without being overly religious, if you
don't, if you don't have any rules to follow, right? If there's no morality, what's your
world compass? What's your morality based off of? Right. But it needs to be religious
because that's, I want four dudes like us to instill, uh, this directive in life. And
that is that the community from the world, we need more God in our lives. Absolutely.
And if it's, if God is instilled in our lives, we won't have these issues. And that is what's
going on. God is a joke. Well, they continue, they continue to take it out of everything.
Yeah. Right. And there's a reason for that. And it was, it was kind of interesting. So
if you ever listened to Glenn Beck, he went over a big segment of this. And so, um, it's
just the way that it's all coming out and just the evils that keep on proliferating.
But it's as they continue to remove all of this, it just keeps getting worse because
if you don't have rules, then you don't care. And then it just continues to evolve into
worse and worse things. I mean, it's like, yeah, we don't even have a basic code of conduct
anymore. We have nothing. There's no, like you said, a set of values, code of conduct,
the value of life, the value of other people. I mean, just, well, even look, look, you brought
up where we live. You know, we always talk about the Frisco bubble and how, uh, the kids
are very privileged here. Right. And remember last year or two years ago, uh, one of the
high schools, uh, a senior prank. Yeah. We read. No, it wasn't ready. Oh, okay. Uh, with
the fire extinguishers, the fire extinguishers and it got out of control. They did tens of
thousands of dollars of damage. Yeah. And the footage of that was a bunch of kids going
crazy and it was like, just like our kids, but they got mixed up in it and it got stupid.
They didn't go, Hey, this isn't right. Right. Right. Something clicked in them and they
went stupid. Right. And he went stupid. Yeah, they did. And, uh, and, uh, you know, that
principles gone because she couldn't control it or he, I don't know who it was. Uh, and
they've had a major turnover there. Right. We'll see if it happens. But, uh, you know,
that, that then that's here. Yeah. Where we live that that and that, and that's what made
me, that's what made me very, uh, disheartened because I was, you know, people always say,
well, that can't happen here. I'm sure it can. And, and like whole fair, that fair thing.
I was like, man, if we're, if we're watching videos of thugs getting into fights and showing
guns and, and firing guns, um, you know, and that's happening in, in Frisco, I was like,
we're in big trouble. Well, what if you were there with your, your wife, right? That happened.
What would you have done? Get the hell out of there. I mean, as a matter of fact, we
went to the fair. Uh, we went to the state fair. Um, so who wants to go to the state
fair now? Right. We went to the state fair and, um, I was, I guess we had Dylan and I
was pushing Dawson in a stroller. All right. So Brody wasn't even born yet. Right. But
we were pushing, yeah. Pushing him in a stroller and I had, oh, here's what happened. I took,
you know, that they have the little kiddie rides, right? I went over to a kiddie ride
with Dylan and, and Shelley was standing over there with the stroller. Right. And then all
of a sudden there's this, uh, gang of boys, um, that were running through the fair, you
know, like running. And then all these cops were chasing them and the crowd was getting
moved around and Shelley got pinned against, you know, these movable barricades. She got
pinned against it with the stroller scared the shit out of her and made me mad. You know
what I mean? And yeah, we haven't, I don't think we've, I don't, as a family, we never,
we've never gone back. No, it's not worth it. It's not. Yeah. It's not worth it because
you don't want to expose your kids to that kind of thing. You don't want your kids to
be hurt and it's dangerous. Yeah. It's just dangerous. There's too much unpredictable
shit that goes on. And that's sad because it's, it's going to happen systematically
through every, um, can't get worse. I mean, look, look, there are things that I'll bring
up downtown McKinney, um, how they have, uh, downtown McKinney, Texas, uh, is a, is an
old school, old Western town. It's, it's kind of like old school, maybe not Western, but
it's, it's, it's old school, early fifties kind of style. It's like an older down small
town downtown. Yeah. It's, it's, it's what you kind of like to see, you know, it's this
old school kind of shit. So they were shutting down the whole block during these, uh, special
events that they have going on, which they do several times a year, which is unique.
Yeah. You know, and it's a huge, uh, comradery kind of a good feel, a program they got going
on. Well, in the last couple of years, there have, uh, they've had to increase security
because there are people that will, that are just ugly, right. Uh, from the core out and
they go in there and, uh, they're on drugs, heroin, whatever it is. And you can know who
they are because you could see it. You know, they usually have no shirt on, you know, skinny,
you know, right. Get a methie kind of methie and, and, you know, and it's just like that.
I remember, I remember two years in a row where there's, there's these guys that are
walking and they've got like two or three cops that are just trailing them the whole
way. I mean, yeah, because they were going to do something literally 10 feet behind them
and they're making them walk the whole distance and the guys and the guys fumed talking to
himself, you know, and talking to the air, you know, and, and he's not doing anything,
but yet he's, he's feeling intimidated and he's talking to people and that's not there.
And he's kind of, he just continued walks right through and then out the gates, man,
it is mental illness. It's a compilation of things. And this, this, this goes on for lots
of things. We have tons of homeless people. Uh, California has tons of issues with, with
homeless people and they're trying to, where do we pin it? What do we do? How do we correct
this? It's too late to correct those people. It's too late. You can't, all you can do now
is rehab them to a point where they can at least function and provide a service moving
forward. But you got to reprogram that brain. And in order to do that, you cannot be handing
out money. You cannot be hanging out fucking gas pipes to be smoking pot. You're all that
other shit that they're doing. Absolutely ridiculous. Well, so what's even worse on that front is
so, again, I had a friend go to San Francisco. I refused to go to the people's Republic of
California, but, uh, it was one of his bucket list things, right? Yeah. And so he gets there
and he flies in and they literally have an app for the city that shows you needles and
defecation of where you can go to shit on the street, not to where, but where it is.
Oh, so you can avoid it so that you could try to avoid it. But it's like everywhere,
a huge percentage. Well, the tenderloin is really bad of the streets, right? But it's
so that you could try to avoid the mess, but it's, it's no shit. Just used needles and
shit on the street, right? And it's not just like a used needle here or there. It's like
droves of needles that have been used because they, with no caps on them, so they're just
needles sticking up everywhere. They're used. Oh yeah. Yeah. Because they give them out
because they're like, well, we want them to not be sharing needles. So we provide needles
now because that's safer. Right. And so now they just have this proliferation of used
needles and then there's people that just sit there and in front of nice restaurants
with maybe an open view and shit. And they're just like, Oh, I've got to go to the bathroom
and just fricking whip down their pants and take a shit right there.
Or they're just sitting there on the sidewalk with a needle hanging out of their arm. And
there's zero repercussions for it. Right. Because it's, that's just the way that they
do business. When you're in New York bucket list, you should have just gone downstairs
and shit on the street. I did. It was wonderful. You know, that's what I think is getting lost
in all of this is how refreshing it is. How freeing freeing and liberating. And I got
a shit. I'm doing it right here. Yes. Yeah. I mean, what was even better? Um, I was struggling
with getting it clean, but there was a pole right there and I was just kind of, you know,
but grinding, you know, drag yourself like a dog. I did it first and it started a rash
immediately. Oh Lord. That's why you got to grab a cat or a squirrel or something. Oh,
I didn't think of that. And I was a little, I was a little gun shy. So when I went to
Saudi with the rabbit fur, I sat there and we had what we call the Thrones because the
shitters there, when we first got into tent city there, they were, you had to step up
steps. So if anybody was going by and they had like little six inch dividers between
the stalls and that was it. Sure. So, but as you're walking by your head is crotch level.
Oh, right. So it's a platformed up. So everybody, it didn't matter. It was like the newspapers
or whatever that they had were all gone because everybody would just sit there and whip out
a newspaper. So at least you could cover up your junk and weren't flashing everybody that
was walking by. Yeah, that's just not right. So I can't imagine just the, the absolute,
you know, thought process of just being able to just drop trow and drop a deuce on there.
And then just, you're not, you're not wiping, you're not doing anything. You're just, you
know, taking it back up. Your ass has to be well calloused or something. Or your diet
is dog style so that you're just dropping out hard, hard shits. I don't know how that
works. So I'm not a, that is interesting because I mean, think about like, they don't have
growing up in the, well, just whatever a couple hundred years ago in the old Western or even
the medieval times. I mean, you drop a deuce. I mean, there's going to be some residual
there. How did they take care of that leaves? Yeah. Dirt leaves. And I think you just kind
of live dirt. I told you the story when I was on my elk trip and they shut the freeway
down. Did I do that shit in the ditch? Oh Lord. You saw a bunch of pebbles up there.
I did, did the bus scooch again, right? I mean, in the snow. No, I actually, there was
no snow. Um, I, I will tell you in Turkey, I had wiped, I thought they shut it down because
of the snow. I had wipes with me. So in Turkey, they give you a few squares. Oh, nice. And
they're like of toilet paper. Yeah. But what they tell you is this is for wiping. This is
why you don't shake hands in Muslim countries. This is for wiping. This is for cleaning your
hand, your fingers. So you wipe and then you take that and you clean off of your hand and
you go. Yeah. And there's no water to wipe your wash your fingers. There's no bidet.
There's no, like a sink. So you can do this. No, dude. Yeah. No. So maybe a long time ago,
maybe a long time ago because surely they're not like that uncivilized. Now this was in
the nineties, late nineties. So did you take on this habit? No, no, you didn't adopt it.
Oh, you didn't find that appetizing? No, no, no. So this is this is where you learn to
hold your shit. I want to live my life. Right. Literally hold your shit. Literally. I'd bring
like a packet of wet wipes with me. That late nineties who had wet wipes. You're stealing
that from babies. True. They hadn't made it. You know what I'm saying? I would have. That
was it. I would totally take it. I was like, maybe say it's good for their ass. It's good
for mine. Yeah. Yeah. It's one of those things that you learn when you're down there. It's
not that you knew. It's not that they're briefing you this shit. You know what I'm saying? So
you go downtown and it's like, yeah, this is this is the world you're living in. And
you're like, they don't have public pools. They do. Oddly enough, you don't want to swim
with those bath houses. That's what was so crazy living in Jakarta. The canals like on
either side of the street were just open sewers. So the houses would, you know, they would,
they had plumbing, but it would just dump into these canals on either side of the street.
Yes. What a smell. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Same thing with Korea. We called him Benjo Dicks.
You just get used to the wrench. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it was bad. I mean, we used to tell
the funny story about this, you know, a lot of expatriates there, right? There was this
guy that had just arrived from like the United States or something, and he gets out of the
cab and he, you know, he stumbled and fell into the canal. Oh, Jesus. And then he gets
out of the canal and he gets back. He gets back into a cab and tells them, please take
me to the hospital. Yeah. I think it was one of my father's coworkers. Be like, yeah, I
just got Hep C. Yeah. Yeah. He was like, amongst other things. He was like, take me immediately
to the hospital. Yeah. How would you fall into a shit stream? Was he drunk? No, no,
no. So it's, everything's tight. So you have the street and then it starts sloping off
straight into the shit ditches. That's how it is in Korea. It's extremely narrow streets.
I mean, there's hardly anywhere to walk. I mean, people are, I mean, it's the, it's the
volume of rainwater that needs to be captured. And that's why it's probably slope like that
to clean the irrigation. I guess. Thank God in that country, there's monsoon season because
where else is, I mean, where else is the shit going to go if it weren't for that? That's
the, yeah, it's bad. That's, that's the double flush when that thing, where is this at Jakarta?
Yeah. Jakarta. I lived there for five years. It's also all over Korea. If you just look
up South East Asia for sure. Yeah. Benjo ditches. Benjo. Yeah. Benjo ditches. There you go.
There you go. But depending on where you are, they're not exactly concreted over. They're
usually grass. Yeah. Like that. Yeah. So there, it's just nastiness. Yeah. Straight. Absolutely.
But we've had, because you go and you get absolutely wrecked doing ammo bowls. So ammo
bowl, they sit there and they take soju and they take an entire bottle of soju and dump
it in a bowl. And then they take a two liter of just a rice based spirit. Yeah. But unregulated.
So you could get, you could get one that does absolutely nothing. It's like drinking water
and you could get one that a quarter of the way through and you're done. Yeah. So it's
an unpredictable evening every time you're out. Yeah. So they take that, they put it
in a big bowl. They put the entire bottle of soju and then a two liter of seven up and
they take an entire box of straws and then all of the assholes take as many straws as
you can fit in your mouth and you just start sucking up all of the liquid. Yeah. And you
try to finish it as quick as you can and you have ammo bowl races. Wow. Yeah. And then
you shit in the ditch and then you fall into it and then you are hammered and fall into
the shit ditch. The, the Benjo ditches. Yeah. Yeah. That doesn't have a lot of appeal to
it. No, no. Well, there's one right there. I think right on the side of the street. Yeah.
So they're not, there's carp that live in that. They're not that clean. So this is in
a, a no. Oh, Japan is very clean. Yeah. So this is a drainage and no, this isn't a Benjo
ditch. So think of anything that you have here that is for rainwater drainage. That's
grass off of the side of the road on some of the tight back roads and just fill that
with shit instead of water. And that's a Benjo. I mean, one thing that was crazy when we lived
in Jakarta is how there would be like kind of nice areas and then a slum and then a nice
area and then a slum and then a nice neighborhood and then a slum. Right. And the slums were
like slum. Oh, and so we would go over it right outside of our subdivision. We had this
little river. Um, and you would see it is like a little shanty town right on the side
of the river or on either side of the bridge. And you would see, um, you know, these women
like washing clothes in the river, which was like a solid Brown, right? Just as I mean,
solid Brown, like opaque and they'd be washing clothes. And then you look up the river and
there's a dude taking a shit squat squatting over the rivers. You're taking a dump right
there. Like 10 feet and for up maybe 30 feet upstream from where they're washing the clothes.
That that was absolutely regular occurrence occurrence. That's why they don't have like
hep C. They they probably do. Oh, their life expectancy, at least back when I was living
there was like 60 tops, 50 tops. That's that's old. Yes. Yes. Because they get, they get
all sorts of, there was no clean water. There's no, you know, they get all sorts of shit and
die. Yeah. So I went to Thailand for a month and it was awesome. So as a coalition, um,
exercise. So we were flying with the Thai folks there. And, um, so we're in Karat, uh,
Thailand and we're like, all right. So we're like, okay, we know it's late nineties, right?
Um, let's go get some bootleg games or DVDs or this and the other. So we're like, Hey,
we talked to the, uh, tuk tuk driver and we're like, where's this at? And so he takes us
and drops us off and we have to walk through, walk down and walk through this whole village.
It's all like the, uh, the tin. You know what I'm saying? Corrugated tin roofs, the corrugated
tin all rusted out and hanging on by a thread boards that are over running water and everything.
And so as we're going, we'll see a pig stall where they have pigs hung up and then they're
gutting pigs and they just have a giant pile. And then the next stall is dog and you'll
see dogs hung up in various States of skinned, not skinned, uh, completely gutted this, that
and the other broken down for sale. What is the preferred dog? There is much. So it just,
but, um, depending on what you order there, right? So everybody knows that, you know,
Hey, you get Kugogi or whatever, um, here or what is the terminology I'm trying to remember
again, but there's a certain one that you get. So there's beef and then there's dog
that you can get. And I'm sure that at some point while I was there, I ate dog, but that's
more, that's more, um, Korea is the Kugogi or whatever. Uh, but Thailand, it was, it
was crazy and they'd have a no kidding, like foot, foot and a half pile of just entrails
and you wouldn't know it because it was black, right? And then they'd sit there and they'd
be cutting something off and they'd throw it on the pile. And then you'd see that it
was flies because as it hit, then all of the black would move off and then just go right
back onto the pile of just whatever. So we're walking through this whole place and you just
see it's just absolute squalor at a level that as Americans, we have no idea what that
is. And it's just, it's one of those things. It's just like, Holy crap, are we blessed?
Because this is literally where they're living. It's like stalls on this side and then it's
houses on this side and it's, there's no difference, right? So it's, it's mud. They're on the,
the 10 corrugated 10 boards crossing the little crap. I don't know what was in the water smelled
terrible, but just, yeah, it was eyeopening man. Yeah, absolutely. That's why I think,
you know, some of these people who complain, you say the U S is terrible and no concept
man, no concept of what's out there. They have no idea. They really don't. The privilege
and the, and it's not white privilege. No, it's not. It's the United States, American
citizen privilege. Absolutely. And the, the level of life they have here compared to a
lot of these places is not even, there's no comparison in most cases. That's why people
want to come here. Yes. That's right. And you interview those people that want to come
here. Oh, we want to come here because America's great. Yep. There's opportunity. There's,
it's, there's no Benjo ditches, you know, but you taught, look at the, the college white
liberal, we're the worst country in the world. Yep. Need to be disbanded. You know, we need
to go to move to a social communism. They suck. Did you see the new recommendation for reparations
in California? Yeah. 200 million per person, $200 million. Yeah. But they're not going
to pay that. They want to give that a tax discounts in a house. It shouldn't matter.
We were talking about this earlier. I was like, I was like, if you take any reparations
money, right? Doesn't matter what it is. Then you have to claim a country of origin from
where your ancestors were taken from. And that's where you have to move. You are no
longer a us citizen. I agree with that. And you know, but there are so many flip sides
of that coin, you know, because they're, first of all, there are people, the taxes that pay
for that, those reparations, uh, people have to pay those taxes. So why are the people
that weren't here at the time? I didn't own any slaves. I can't believe it's even gotten
this far. Like I can't believe it's not even rational. Well, it's got this far in California.
Right. Yeah. But, oh, but I mean, other, other states are starting to talk about it. Look,
there are things that are going on because they walk over the planet. They're creepy.
I mean, just like we were talking about earlier, a lady, uh, praying across the street from,
uh, an abortion clinic, not even praying a lot, just standing there and they asked her,
are you praying? Yeah. And to me is it's, it's just outright that's socialism. That's
fascism. Absolutely. I watched a video today that a guy was being interviewed and he goes,
uh, he, he, he was named, he goes a hundred people have been arrested in Russia for things
they have posted on social media, arrested. And he's like, here in great Britain, what
do you think that number is? The guy's like, I don't know. He goes 3,400 people in great
Britain have been arrested for what they posted on social media. One of them being misgendering
not using the proper pronouns for a, uh, you know, for some trans event site on the site.
But depending on what that is. So that's another one of those things that it's like, they don't
ever go into any of the detail. Right? So like, Hey, this dude is posting child porn.
Sure. Fucking arrest that dude. Right. Shoot him in the head. I don't care. This is stuff
that, but if you're just like saying something and somebody's taking offense to it, or you're
saying, Oh, there's only two genders and somebody's like, Oh my God, you just, just disintegrated
my life. It's like, and that dude's getting arrested. It's like, that's just as the example
this guy gave was, uh, there was a lady who's, uh, either boyfriend or husband died and she
made a post on Instagram or Twitter quoting his favorite song. And it happened to be a
rap song and those lyrics had a couple of N words in it. Okay. They came to her house,
arrested her, charged her, put her on like 800 hours of community service. She's on in
Britain, in Britain, and she's on a hate list now because she spelled out the N word because
she, she copy and pasted rap song lyrics that a player of the radio onto social media and
remember it's a control and they're trying to do the same thing here in the United States
slowly but surely they're trying to do it. It's coming. It's, it's coming all around
us and you know, just the fact that we had local elections and just now for this, the
school board and I mean, do Kershaw win to read when they lost both, both of them did.
I can't believe that everybody I talked to was like, are you both them? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
And every circle that cared about this election. I think, I think either read when against
Davis, he had 44 and she had 56. And then the other one was just as close, right? So
it's close, but still that's 12 points. Still pretty big win. Yeah, it is. Man, it really,
you think how did it happen? Do you think that's the people are ignorant? They didn't
know it's the incumbents. Well, no, it's long game, right? Conservatives didn't give a shit
for the longest time. Right. And now something's trying to care. Liberals took over all of
the institutions that develop children, infiltrated that did anything, right? Because all conservatives
wanted to do was have free enterprise and grow businesses because conservatives by nature
are entrepreneurial, right? So that's what they were doing. They were worried about building
up businesses, creating society and bettering lives. Right? Yeah. So they sit there and
they were like, okay, well, I'm not going to get involved in anything education, school
boards. I'm not going to get involved in local elections. I'm not going to, you know, all
of the small stuff that ends up making huge impacts. Right. Right. So that's not where
they were at. They were worried about just building and making better lives and continuing
on. So that long game set there and has screwed us. Yeah, I think that's come to I think this
whole COVID thing has opened the eyes of a lot of people. I think started a lot of it
started with the school because a lot of the parents saw what was being taught. And I think
that opened the eyes a lot of stuff. So the school boards, I think people are starting
to change now. And I think the conservative side are starting to grab some of this back.
It's going to take a long time. It's going to take a while. But it's starting to happen.
And you're right. Add to your comment, Chad, they also generally conservatives, you know,
they're in families, they have jobs, they're trying, they are just trying to get through
their week. Right. I mean, they're trying to focus on their job and their kids and they
got sporting events they got to go to and and they don't really give a shit. I mean,
they just they made the mistake. They made the mistake of thinking, you know, that's
being taken care of. Like, I don't need to worry about that. Like, nobody even votes
in local elections. Right. It's some crazy low number. Yeah. I think you're kind of generalizing,
though, because here in Frisco, there's a lot of Democrats. They're all working families.
Just like we are. Well, I wouldn't say that they're not working families. You know, it's
it's the it's the building. Right. Being an entrepreneur. And it's not to say that it's
a blanket. It's just saying that more of the Democrats were doing teachers were being on
school boards were being on the low level stuff and long gaming. Everything is ground
root activists. Correct. Activism. Well, they had played that game way better than we need
to wrap this up. Chad, I want to say thank you for coming out. This is awesome. I hope
you enjoyed yourself. Absolutely. But it's like us. It is it is May 9th. We had a kickass
time. Yeah, it was fun. Good. Even though the Green River wasn't where I wanted it to
be. It wasn't a huge hit. I mean, it's better than Williamsburg. Dude, that guy's I'm Sean.
I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff. And I'm Chad. There you go. Peace out.
