I completely taste what you're talking about.
Yeah.
It's like a Sharpie.
Yeah, there's something going on with it.
Maybe it needs to release a little bit more.
We're gonna have to let this release a lot more.
Yeah, we'll talk about it here in a little bit.
Yeah, because we're just trying
the second half bourbon here, and it's different.
It's got a little leathery taste on the end.
I'm getting a little catcher's mitt.
I taste Sharpie, that's all I taste.
Sharpie, that's a good term.
So we got the Chattanooga Whiskey.
It is a, I guess that's it right there.
It's a single barrel.
Single barrel, uncut, unfiltered, made from,
what's the chemical that's in Sharpie?
Well, Chattanooga Whiskey 2023.
Single barrels are a collection
of our most beloved high-ball recipes,
presented in their purest, final single barrel form.
Uncut, unfiltered, made from a mash
of at least 25% of malted grains.
Each hand-selected barrel showcases
of a range of flavor characteristics
unique of each recipe.
And a single-edged war Tennessee high malt style.
It doesn't really say anything.
Oh, hold on, it does have a variant barrel 91.
Isn't this 91?
I don't know.
Mr. Producer's choking on it.
Yeah, he, I don't think it's very often
that he samples a bourbon and he may have just hurt himself.
I think he pulled a groin.
Yeah, he pulled something.
He's gonna go poop.
Yeah, we just lost him for podcast.
So yeah, we're gonna have to do, we're on our own here.
All right, well this is, enlighten us, Jeff.
This says mash bill contains one of four unique mash bills.
B004, B005, SB.
Oh, okay.
It contains one of them.
Oh, okay, wait a second.
This is a, so we're saying this is a blend?
It is a blend, I guess.
And one of them is peated.
Yeah, peated. There's our problem.
Well, I don't wanna call it a problem,
but it's definitely, yeah, it's a problem.
Yeah, no, I think that's it.
Yeah, it is a, it's a, across, it's been bread.
Yeah, so. A little peat thing.
That is that flavor we're tasting.
It's the Sharpie pen.
Yes, the fermentation,
there's lots of information in this bottle.
I don't know what this word means.
Even more on the screen here, it's overwhelming.
I don't know what all this means.
What's Cooperage?
A temperated, what does a temperated mean?
Fermentation, a temperated seven days,
Cooperage variant, and it lists like almost 25 things,
or 30.
Yeah.
No filtration whatsoever.
Barrel size is 53 gallons.
It says, okay, a temperate is tempered,
proportional, properly adapted.
Well, I don't know about that.
That's the downsizing of it,
when they dumb it down from 150 to 118 proof.
The temperated seven days.
I don't know, there's a lot going on with it.
Oh, read that, filtration none.
Bottle occasionally captures barrel sediment.
Or pieces of wood.
Maybe we're tasting wood sediment.
Yeah, that's probably what it is.
Got some of that charred oak barrel in there.
Okay, what's the proof of this thing?
118.6.
Oh, good Lord.
So, I'm gonna try it again, but that first one.
Yeah, we're gonna let it sit for a little while.
I am gonna let it sit, too.
As a matter of fact, I'm gonna clear my palate
with a nice, yingling light.
Yeah, that first one really threw me
when I first tasted that.
I have never seen you make that face
after trying any bourbon.
It made me go, maybe we should pass on this one.
Well, the last time I saw him make that face
is when he had some sort of Asian taco and farted,
and he was like, oh my God, that's horrible, that's horrible.
Oh, you gotta try this.
Come here, Sean, smell this.
I was like, what, I'm not going over there.
And I've heard that sometimes,
one of these single barrels, sometimes you get bad barrels
and you don't really know, right?
Because this is a single barrel,
which means all the bottles for this barrel came out of one.
So, if we get to another one that came out of a different
barrel, it could taste different than this.
Well, that's like the whole wine thing.
While the barrel's sitting there.
That year of grapes or whatever,
the year of grapes are different than another year of grapes.
A batch of caterpillars creating a whole ecosystem
inside the barrel prior to them putting bourbon in it.
Oh, it could have been a contaminated barrel.
Could have been.
Or it could have been that kind of deal
where they dumped a dude in it.
Remember, remember that story?
There was an exquisite barrel of bourbon,
and maybe it was rum, and they found a body in the barrel.
Like, why does this taste so good?
Yes.
Oh God, we'd love this so much.
Which is still floating in it.
Ever since then, they were putting bodies in barrels.
Oh.
It's terrible.
I wanna volunteer with that.
I think it's Old Monk.
Oh, I can't believe that.
Yeah.
It might taste straight.
It tastes like ass.
But they don't kill people.
People voluntarily put themselves in barrels.
They don't stick the dead old monks in the barrels?
Well, yeah, but that's part of their-
So when they pass, they're just like,
hey, we gotta do something to stick them in the barrel.
No, that's what they want.
They're like, please barrel-ize me.
Barrel-ize.
Is that like the initiation for popes
is they make a bask into the rum casks?
So it's like poop taint water?
Hey, Pope John Paul II's gonna,
he's gonna taint our casks over here.
Wow.
You guys are, is this sacrilegious?
Come on over here, come on.
How's that sacrilegious?
I don't know, is this something?
I don't know, you guys are like dogging holy people.
He's dogging.
He's got one too, doesn't he?
Yeah, I guess he does, yeah.
Actually, I think the Vatican's very corrupt, personally.
Really?
I do.
What are they coming from?
They are corrupt.
They're fucking the biggest corrupt thing on the planet.
Well, the pope these days is a fairly liberal pope.
I know.
I don't think I had that attitude
until a liberal pope came to power.
And then I was like, you know what,
all of a sudden, I think we want to start adopting
progressiveism. Kill his babies.
Yes.
Well, I don't think he's ever gone that far.
But he's been like, might as well be.
He's been like, you know,
Jesus cares about climate change.
Jesus cares about climate change, come here.
Is he Jewish?
I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know what he is.
That's kind of Mel Brooks version.
Yeah, this is a really weird version of a pope.
Well, they come from Germany, you know.
A lot of them have.
The current one is from Argentina or Brazil or something.
He's from Brazil, yeah.
Well, the current one, perhaps.
The dude before him who retired,
which had never happened before.
Yeah, Benedict was from Germany.
Was he the first pope in history to retire?
Oh, probably, because he was like,
hey, fuck it, I'm out of here.
I've seen what you guys are doing.
I want to live.
I'm not sure he said fuck it.
Oh, Falcon Islands?
Which one are you talking about?
Hey, let's get that guy from the fucking island.
Which is, by the way, from Argentina.
All right, well guys, look, it's June 6th,
second half of our show.
It's Dudes Like Us podcast.
I'm Sean.
I'm Paul.
And I'm Jeff.
And we are sucking down a big fat one
from Chattanooga Whiskey.
This one is a hundred and...
118.6.
And this one is a blend of different bourbons
as we had in whiskeys that we spatted off.
And initially, Jeff was taking back a little bit
because he was like, oh my God, this is kind of crazy.
And it does, it has, it's like opening up a cap
off of a marker.
And you need like a permanent marker, a magic marker.
And you like get that smell and you're kind of like,
that's not right.
And that's not right.
What is that from?
Anywho.
I don't know.
There was a show on there.
That's not right.
It's not getting better.
It's not?
It's not as strong on the second pool, the first one.
So, but it's still there.
So when they filter it, so they...
Ooh, it smells good though.
Well, yeah, take a taste first.
But when they filter it, I know Jack Daniels runs it through,
they call it mellowing.
Pete, they drip it through a big stack of chips.
That's the Lincoln process.
That's right.
So when they filter this, what does that mean?
What is it?
Well, there's no filtering.
There's no filtering.
Well, what do they do to filter?
They use a screen.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
So just talking about a screen.
It's parts per million.
So they have a specific screen that they use.
It's parts per million that allow,
they traps certain sizes.
So it's literally just...
It's like a sieve.
So it's literally just like getting rid of anything
that's like particles of the board or anything like that.
It could be cheesecloth.
Cheesecloth.
Or like someone's tidy whiteys after they shit.
In the barrel.
Yeah.
Whoa.
They shit in the barrel and then fill it with...
It's quite the analogy.
Or they mark it with Sharpie that filters through that.
That's why we don't do video.
Do you see the gesture he was just doing?
Yeah, I saw a lot of it, Sean.
I saw all of it.
And you're right.
That is another reason why we don't ever do live video.
Or video at all.
Yes.
So I always found it fascinating that the liquid was,
when it's distilled, it's always clear.
Well, then that the color comes from the barrel.
I know we've talked about that.
Why is that fascinating?
It is.
You didn't know that?
No, when I first learned it.
When you were 10?
I don't think you wanna...
When I was a toddler and my dad was carrying me around
the distillery, because that's all we did was visit
the distilleries.
Oh.
And he was like, try this, okay daddy.
And then, yeah.
It was Saki over there.
Oh, papa, I wanna try it, oh.
Is that where it started?
What was the Thailand booze over there?
What the hell?
You know, I tell you what, I will share this story.
So when we lived in Indonesia.
Oh, Indonesia, sorry.
Was this where you went into the...
Well, no, no, no.
I mean, I lived in Jakarta.
I mean, I lived in Tokyo and Buenos Aires
and Jakarta, Indonesia.
Was this the bath house you went to?
No, I was never in a bath house.
Was these the nude parents of your friends?
That was Indonesia.
That's what I was referring to.
That was Indonesia, yes.
Yeah, I had a Dutch friend and they were skinny dipping
and I found that very awkward.
Were they attractive?
Was she attractive?
They were nasty.
They were tall and skinny and gross.
And I was like...
Were you, what, 10?
Was he well hung?
I tried not to look at his thing.
Was it like an acorn on a change purse?
She was hung.
What did she, what do you mean?
I'm kidding.
I pressed ham.
Was it her boobs that were sagging
or did she have a Philadelphia steak sandwich
that was drying out?
Anyway, I don't even remember what I was gonna say.
Oh, over there.
It's like jerky treats.
Over there you have drivers, right?
Because I think I've told you guys before.
Everybody has maids and guards and drivers
because that's the way the companies over there,
they make, like when an expatriate company comes in
to develop resources, they wanna give local employment.
So anyway, so you live, yeah, it's really weird.
It's an awkward way to live.
But anyway, but you have a driver everywhere you go.
You can imagine, like this is before Uber.
This is before...
Was Raul your driver?
His name was, oh my God.
Paco.
No, it was Erlan.
Miguel.
His name was Erlan.
And I could tell you so many funny examples of Erlan.
We got him in trouble.
Oh.
Yes, because he was, anyway, doesn't matter.
With the officials?
Did he get too loose?
No, he was driving like a...
Naked?
He was driving like a maniac.
My sister and I were in the van.
We had a VW van.
And he was driving like a maniac.
A Volkswagen van?
Volkswagen van.
Nice.
Is there such a thing?
They're coming back out for those.
Yeah, the minibus.
Of course.
Oh, that's right.
The minibus.
Yeah.
They're coming back out with those, by the way.
Yeah, no, it was great.
It was great.
And he was driving like a maniac one day.
And so we said to my mom,
we weren't even complaining.
Like, we didn't think she was gonna tell him,
but we were like, God, Erlan's driving like a maniac today.
What the hell?
And the next time she and I were in the van,
he was, cars were blowing past us.
And he was driving super slow.
And I was like, what the hell is going on?
And my sister was like, I don't know.
I go, so I leaned forward,
because he's in the front, we're in the back.
I leaned forward, I was like,
Erlan, is there something wrong with the van or something?
And he goes, you tell me, Mickey, I go too fast.
I go slow for you.
I was like, whoa, he is pissed, pissed off.
I could totally got him in trouble.
Right.
Anyway, we make that,
I say that all the time with my sister and I,
you tell me, Mickey, I go too fast.
I go slow for you.
Anyway.
So anyway, my point is, you have drivers everywhere you go.
So the adults, the adults, I was a kid, of course,
but everybody's parents.
What dialect was that again?
I'm sorry?
It was Indonesian.
Oh, okay.
And yeah, it's very difficult action to do.
Oh yeah.
I don't recommend.
Sean's gonna practice, what do you say?
No, I'm gonna go home and be like,
do, do, do, do, do, I'm a monster.
No, you always sound like the Star Wars guy.
Or Bill Cosby.
Yeah.
It's a little boodin' babong.
Anyway, all the parents had drivers everywhere they went.
So they had parties.
And we never saw them, we were in bed.
But apparently, my parents came home sloshed.
Like, like all the parents came home sloshed.
Well, it's built in Uber.
It's built in Uber.
Totally built in Uber.
And who knows what they were,
I mean, I guess they were drinking the same shit
that we drink today.
I was gonna say, what's the local booze over there?
Indonesia.
I'm sure they had a, I think they had a local beer.
No, I mean like the alcohol, like.
Oh, I don't know.
Like we have bourbon.
You have cognac.
I would imagine they had, kinda like Old Monk, right?
That's an Indian rum.
Like a rum, you think?
Yeah, probably.
They had rum.
I don't know if they had bourbons.
I don't know.
That's a good question.
Well, like beers, they have a Bing Tang beer.
Bing Tang.
That's right.
Bing Tang.
I remember that.
Absolutely.
And Aussie beer was very popular over there
because it was close to Australia, right?
Right.
And which one is that one?
The Aussie beer.
You guys would recognize it.
It's like a blue can.
Foster's.
Foster's, thank you.
Yeah, so.
Well, Indonesia is basically a country
with Muslim as the majority.
Oh, by far.
So alcohol drinking is prohibited by law
of the religion and frowned upon,
mostly when you live over there.
Right.
There was a lot of things that we had to consider.
So what alcohol is native to Indonesia?
Arak Bal.
Arak Bal?
Arak Bali.
The traditional spirit from Bali
is fermented from glutinous rice
or sap from sugar palm or coconut trees.
Ooh, that sounds wonderful.
Something like.
Sake.
And was usually used for rituals and traditions
from America, but today anyone can enjoy
its unique taste and warming sensation.
Do you think they have that at Total Wine?
Arak Bali.
We should try that if they have it at Total Wine.
That'd be fun.
Remember how we had, you know, canned meat night?
Yeah.
Let's do exotic, exotic alcohol night.
Or we're gonna get blown up.
Why would we get blown up?
It's probably low proof stuff.
All right, I'm in.
That was a hard sell.
Yeah.
So I'll tell you what, let's do that.
Let's buy a bottle of liquor from every country.
So Arak.
We've traveled around the world.
Yeah, Arak is a traditional Balinese liquor
made from fermented white rice and coconut palm flowers.
It has a very high alcohol content.
Oh.
And is a bit harsh.
Like what we're drinking right now.
Yes.
Very high alcohol content and harsh.
Yes.
I could share so many stories about Indonesia, man.
It was a crazy.
All the countries, they were just,
I mean, you can appreciate that, Sean.
Yeah, I know you grew up in Germany.
Did you grow up in any other country or just Germany?
No, I lived in Germany.
We traveled a lot.
Well, the US, you grew up in the US too.
Right.
That is a country.
I lived in El Paso.
It's like living in another country.
Yeah, I agree with that.
I was definitely a minority in El Paso.
Right.
Yeah.
And so you grew up in Cincinnati.
I grew up in Cincinnati.
And that was like, that's it?
That's it.
Because you were just talking about how you got a friend
from like an insanely young age still.
Oh yeah.
I grew up in, we moved into the house
that I grew up in when I was four.
I remember, I don't remember,
but I saw pictures of my fourth birthday.
We had no furniture and we moved in over my birthday.
And we all sat on the floor
and I think we had white castles.
Ooh, I like white castles.
For my fourth birthday.
I'm trying to think if I've ever had a white castle.
We never had, they're tremendous.
A lot of people don't like them.
They're not here though.
I'm not in Dallas.
No, I think so.
You can buy them at the.
What's the closest place they have them?
Like city-wise.
Vegas has them.
Vegas does?
That's not close.
New Jersey had them.
I wonder if there's anything.
Your utopian.
Right.
I like to live in one of those things.
This is the best place in the world.
Yeah, it was way prettier than Texas.
I lived there.
You know, I lived there a lot.
You know, because we lived in New Jersey.
Well, first of all, I was born in Maryland.
All right.
I didn't know that.
I was born in Frederick, Maryland.
Bunch of Democrats up there.
Frederick, Maryland?
He wants to move back to the Democratic type run places.
I think, yeah, that's his roots.
He's like, I like how the states run.
Well, now he's going to visit an island
where there's nothing but Democrats.
So back to his roots.
Well, I'm gonna change it.
Oh, good luck with that.
You have 11 days to convince them.
Dude, I am smuggling.
70 year olds.
I've got like 25 Trump flags I'm gonna bring with me.
I'm gonna pepper them all over the island.
Texas man found floating off of island
on East Coast.
With his FJB shirt on and nothing else.
Yeah, that's Charlie, Julian Bravo.
And there's clearly signs of sexual assault.
What?
Why do you have to throw that in there?
I don't know.
You got, you got.
Now, so I was born in Frederick, Maryland
and we immediately were whisked away.
As soon as I was able to fly on a plane,
they took me to Germany.
And my dad did three tours back to back.
So we went to Germany, came back to New Jersey.
He did, and then went back to Germany,
came back to New Jersey.
Oh, that's fun.
Went back to Germany, went back to New Jersey.
Really?
Three tours back to back.
And then we ended up.
That's tough on little kids, man.
Just stay over there.
All that moving.
Actually, one of those times we went to Colorado.
I misspoke.
In 70.
Colorado Springs.
Yeah, 75, I think we went over there.
Yeah, Colorado Springs.
Colorado Springs, Colorado, Fort Momoth, Colorado.
So yeah, so I think the first time we went back
to Colorado, then we went to New Jersey,
and then we went back to Germany.
I was in Denver during that time.
I wonder if we ever crossed paths on the highway.
It's possible if you lived in.
Were you in Colorado Springs?
Fort Carson, Colorado.
I was in Denver.
I was born in Reitridge, Denver.
Or Reitridge, Colorado, which is a suburb of Denver.
Until what?
Were you north or south of Denver?
I believe it was the southern part of Denver,
if I were to look up Reitridge.
You're a little bit closer then.
You moved shortly thereafter though?
Yes, so yeah, right after kindergarten,
I moved to Tokyo when I was in first grade,
which would have been 1977, 78 maybe, I don't know.
I bet we were, we were pretty close.
Yeah, I probably gave you the finger
while you were driving by.
I don't think so.
I think you had, I think I gave you the finger,
because you probably looked weird.
Probably gave him the big old red eye.
Yeah, you were driving that short,
you were in that short bus, and I was kinda like,
look at you. I was in the short bus.
And first of all, I couldn't hear you
if you were giving me shit.
East side language.
That was before I wore hearing aids.
Flipped the bird.
They didn't know I needed hearing aids until first grade.
So you can talk shit all you want
when I was in kindergarten.
They're like, Paul's not listening to me.
Well, that's what the teacher said.
He's either, he's either cannot hear or he's slow.
And it turns out it's both.
Yeah.
You know, it was kinda cool when we lived
in Fort Carson, Colorado.
Just our house specifically.
It's cause we were like right next to the door
that opened up into NORAD, like a couple miles.
I mean, it's interesting,
cause it's Cheyenne Hills right there.
Yeah, so you're saying Pike's Peak?
You're saying Pike's Peak is where NORAD is?
No, it's further south.
Pike's Peak is a little bit further north.
Pike's Peak is up north.
Oh.
Pike's,
Cause that's where Colorado Springs is, right?
It's north west.
It's not real far, but we went to Pike's Peak.
Preston was with us when we went to Colorado Springs.
And the Garden of the Gods.
We went there as well.
Yeah, that was cool too.
I've never seen any of that.
I've driven you there.
You lived there.
Oh my God, I've driven through there for decades.
And I've never stopped.
I would encourage you to go.
Never stopped and looked at anything.
To the Garden of the Gods,
because first of all it's cool to see all those big
fricking boulders all laying around.
It's crazy.
Because when you have these ice ages,
that these huge,
What do you call it? Glaciers.
Glaciers that move and they pick up these deposits
of boulders that are tons and tons and tons.
And they carve this crazy shit in the.
And they just, they leave them deposited
right wherever they're at.
They're like, hey, I'm going to stay right here.
And they move, they move like a millimeter a decade.
You know what I mean?
They're not moving anymore.
I think the one of the-
No, no, no, I'm talking about in the old days,
those glaciers when they formed all these things
that they formed.
Our time on earth is like nothing.
Midskill.
Nothing.
It's insane.
You know, one of the coolest things that I enjoyed
up in Colorado, of all things,
and I didn't even realize at the time,
was the Royal Gorge.
Royal Gorge is I think the tallest bridge on the planet.
I haven't seen that one either.
The Royal-
And we deliberately didn't visit it
because I was convinced that Brody was going to jump off.
Well back at that time,
it was a suspended bridge.
Why is it just like a little rope bridge?
I had nightmares about it.
They had a-
Yeah, it was a really high bridge.
They had large planks of wood
that would cross with supports,
kind of like building a house.
And the bridge was supported by pieces of metal rods
that were maybe an eighth of an inch thick.
This is like the old bridge
before they redid it type of thing?
Well, I'm not sure of the new bridge.
I just know the one that was there in the 80s.
So then if it's new, I don't know anything about it.
The old, the one that I saw had about,
it had an eighth inch thick rod.
And the rod rang the length of the bridge.
And they had a bundle of them, hundreds of them.
And that's what the whole bridge was.
There was two of them on either side.
Maybe a couple of them.
I don't remember.
Did it seem sturdy to you?
Oh, it seemed fine.
We drove our van across it.
But it's the tallest van.
When you look down there on the other side,
you're like, God bless, that is a long way down.
Well I know when we did-
It is really high.
I know when we did the, I think this was what it was.
We did the white water rafting up there.
And I think we went underneath it.
Oh, under that bridge?
Under the bridge.
Yeah, because they pointed out some bridge
that was really high up.
Yeah, you can't even see it, man.
And I don't remember what he called it.
But yeah, he's like, this is something, something.
So we got a picture of me in a-
Tutu?
In a diaper.
No, in Colorado, at the time when we were,
went to the Royal Gorge,
and they used to have a train that crossed over there.
And they had a little mock-up of the train,
a miniaturized one.
You could sit in it.
My dad took a little photograph of me
sitting in the old mock-up.
Yeah, that was before they used to charge
for shit like that.
Everything's expensive now.
We're gonna be going to-
You wanna sit in the train and take a picture?
Okay, $15.
Yeah, we're going to Napa in a couple weeks.
Ooh, look at me.
And we went for-
Your tier ones.
No, just my wife.
Did somebody have a chateau?
My wife and I.
Are you renting an Airbnb in the middle of the Napa Valley?
Are you visiting?
Will someone be meeting you there?
No.
What?
It's an extremely-
Somebody meeting them there?
Oh, like he shows up, and then a week later,
he has some tier ones that show up.
No, yeah, Maria Shriver and her friends are gonna meet us.
The normal swaps.
We're gonna take a-
No, it's just my wife and I.
They're not together anymore.
We went to, not for a long time,
we went there for our eighth anniversary, so 2005-ish.
I'm pricing it now, and you have to make reservations.
If you wanna go visit a winery,
you have to make sure there's reservations.
But they range from 55, 75 bucks a person
to 150 bucks, 300 bucks a person.
Just to go to the winery.
To do it, to have a tour, and yeah.
And it's like a 20-minute tour.
No, it's like an hour,
somewhere around an hour and a half.
You get to taste five, six wines,
but you factor in, I wanna do two or three of those a day.
Get a little box.
Oh yeah, that's like 500 bucks.
Yeah, I was just like, fuck dude.
And-
Is that what you said to your travel agent?
I did, I was like, fuck dude.
And he was like, don't go to standby,
you're gonna take that to me.
It is what it is, man, bitch.
No, so I'm just saying it is.
I was like, we could do that, I'll give you a discount.
Very contagious phone call.
No, I'm just saying that we're talking about
how much the shit costs.
Oh yeah.
And it's ridiculous, just to do it.
It is, it is.
I mean-
All right, so the producer has pulled up,
the nearest White Castle is located in Louisiana.
Oh.
Approximately six hours and 44 minutes.
Baton Rouge.
Really, that's the closest one in Louisiana?
Baton Rouge, yeah.
Why don't they have one in Shreveport?
We could have made a road trip to Shreveport, that's easy.
What is that, an hour and a half to Shreveport?
No, it's two, almost three hours.
Yeah.
Oh, fuck that.
It's not worth the six, seven hour drive.
Yeah, how can it be?
Well, I mean, we've got In-N-Out Burger.
No.
Oh my God.
I like White Castle better than In-N-Out Burger.
You remember when people were crying,
crying and waiting out in lines for hours for-
They were crying?
Yes.
Why?
Because they were so happy that In-N-Out Burger
had come to Frisco.
They were crying on TV.
People are idiots.
They really are.
And I was like, yeah, I've eaten there like twice,
and I'm like, eh.
I mean, it's like Freddy's.
It's a burger, yeah.
Yeah.
Doesn't impress me much.
I like Whataburger better.
I'm very upset with Whataburger right now.
Because ever since COVID, they stopped doing the
grilled peppers and grilled onions.
So, they still have good burgers.
Well, that is what, literally is what made my burger
like the best burger I've ever tried in my life.
Find a new burger there.
Well, I can't.
They don't have grilled onions and green peppers.
Probably because no one ordered them,
and they're like, I don't know what orders this
we can cut it.
Well, and they hurt me.
That's probably what it was.
You can bring your own.
I guess, that'd be weird.
Give them a little cup and say,
hey, can you add this to the burger?
Can you please order for me real quick?
It's order 42.
Can you pour that on?
Yeah, I don't see that going very well.
You only get to do it while you get to the,
when you have to tell a little baggie of them.
Just keep it warm.
I have a little Bunsen burner right there at my table.
Keeping those warm.
And then they bring the burger,
I quickly open it up, tumble it on.
Yeah. Yes.
That would work.
Oh my God, did you guys hear today,
that Pelosi throws out the first pitch
during the Nationals LGBTQ Pride event?
Did she break her arm in the process?
Yeah, I want to see a video of this.
That's pathetic.
I guarantee it didn't make the play.
I bet her just, her bones are so brittle,
it's just like, her arm just kind of flopped around.
She took to the field earlier today,
even to throw out the ceremonial first pitch
at the Washington Nationals night out themed game,
Major League Baseball's longest running LGBTQ celebration.
Former House Speaker was picked for her
long standing commitment.
Yeah, I thought she was done.
She's not in Congress anymore.
To fighting for the rights and dignities of the.
Yes she is.
She's an alphabet speaker.
Alphabet community.
She's not the.
She's 83 years old.
She's still in Congress, I believe.
No, I thought she.
She's out of office.
No, she's not the speaker anymore.
She's still.
She's still a Congresswoman.
A representative.
Oh she is?
I thought she was out of office now.
No.
Oh, why would I expect that?
She's under 90.
So why would I think she'd leave?
How about the fall Biden had on the.
He's just an old guy.
I don't wanna see him fall.
I don't wanna see him fall either.
It's horrible.
It's elderly abuse.
It is to have him up there.
It's, you know, you don't wanna see that, you know.
He's.
I mean if he can't walk.
Like our parents.
Across the stage.
He's like our parents.
He's like you've seen your dad fall.
Oh.
You know?
Yeah.
That's what it's like and you don't wanna see that.
It'd be horrible.
It goes to the.
Reality of him.
Yeah.
I hear you.
And he wants to.
Look.
And people are like well.
No one wants to.
There's contesting people running against him.
Like they don't wanna have a debate.
Like now.
RFK Junior.
Yeah I know.
You know it's like.
Oh he would tear him apart.
Oh yeah.
But the thing is that if you get him in office
and dipshit Kamel Toe Harris is his sidekick.
She's gonna be the fucking president.
Yeah he won't make it.
I'm amazed he's made it this far.
I literally didn't think he would live four years.
Well he's only two years into it.
Right.
Two and a half years now.
Right.
He's got no two years to go.
Right.
Why did you have to shatter our fun
thinking about childhood things with Nancy Pelosi?
Well I just thought it was interesting.
Yeah.
That's like.
That's just shattering the.
Oh here he is.
Following three times.
Oh what a fool.
Oh and then look at him he's like looking around.
He's like.
You know his handler's just like fuck.
Yep they're like just keep him alive.
Just keep him alive.
And that's another time he falls.
And here's a third time he falls.
So there's a title out there that says
reparations movement meets reality.
Oh I haven't seen this one.
What this fall he's about to do.
Oh he's so frail.
He's a doing it.
He's got some rice and some.
He's gonna wipe out here.
This guy.
This guy makes me nauseous.
Got a nice little fryer tuck working on the back.
We're watching a compilation of him
just stumbling and falling.
Well not falling but stumbling mainly.
Oh here's where he falls off the bike.
Oh yeah I love how they put on Google Maps the.
The place where he did it.
Yeah what'd they call it?
Oh my God.
They called it the Biden landing.
Yeah I think so.
I think so.
This is where he gets scared of the shadow.
Look at him.
Oh jeez.
I don't know.
I guess he's the best Democrats can put up.
I don't know.
That's telling you something.
Yeah look how just.
Oh here's where he falls.
Like literally falls down.
I've actually not watched this.
And he can't get up.
He tries to get up there and he's like
yeah it's not gonna happen.
Oh my God.
This is just.
I feel bad for him.
And it is elderly abuse.
I just.
He's not there.
How can he keep up with.
You know how it's a grueling.
Normally, normally.
I saw on the.
Is a grueling routine.
I saw on the five his.
Like a grueling schedule.
Did you watch that one where the head is schedule.
And basically his meetings are from noon to four.
And they leave him alone on the weekends.
Yeah no I mean they're babying the shit out of him.
And they're not.
Do you remember.
Biden's doing his best impression of our economy.
Right there you go.
Because the presidency you're basically out 24 seven
for the most part.
I think for four years.
Right.
Crazy.
I would think.
He's gone around the clock.
You guys watched the highlights of.
The view with Tim Scott I think.
Yes.
And how he put.
Was there a bitch named Sonny?
Sonny something.
So I didn't.
I thought that was perfect.
I saw a headline on Red State.
That said.
He.
Not that he embarrassed himself.
But he.
Maybe he did.
Maybe the title was embarrassed himself.
And that Republicans just won't learn.
So I don't know.
I don't think.
I thought he put people in their place.
I don't think he embarrassed himself.
You talking about Tim Scott?
Yeah.
No that is a farce.
He did not embarrass himself at all.
In fact he took the high road across the board.
I didn't watch the whole interview.
But I saw when they were.
I mean you had Sonny sitting there.
She had a shit grin on her face.
And then you had Whoopi Goldberg
how to get her fat fucking a Karen ass up.
Walk around and stand.
Yeah I saw that.
And they were like looking at him.
Like gangin' up.
Oh it was like.
You know and he totally.
He absorbed it and didn't give in at all.
And said the truth.
They were talking about.
You know they were talking about black people
and how you have the exception and the rule.
Yep.
And he's like we are the exception.
Sonny says I'm the exception she says
and you are the exception.
And Tim Scott says no.
No we're not.
Because we've had a.
We've had a.
We have a black president.
We have a black vice president.
We've got the black sheriff here in Florida.
We've got.
He started naming all these black people.
Meaning they're not exceptions.
Yeah this is like how can that be the exception to the rule.
You know we've got all these people.
Well you only have the Democrat or the Republican
have two black senators.
Or one.
He's like and you have two.
Score.
You know.
Yeah shut the front door.
Yeah I can't stand when people are creating.
Creating something that's not there.
And they're doing it for a purpose of course.
Right.
No I thought he did a good job.
Again I didn't see the whole thing.
Yeah I didn't.
I just saw an article about it.
I don't know why Red State was not happy about it.
Well there's some hardcore conserves out there
that I don't necessarily agree with.
If you.
Probably didn't want him to go on the view at all.
Right so yeah it's basically here's where they are
and if you deviate anything from that you're.
Not on board with that.
Right you're not.
Fuck them all.
Right.
I mean.
I'm talking about both sides.
Fuck them all.
I'm just I'm sick of everything.
Most folks are near the middle.
It's when you get to the edges.
I know.
It's just like fuck man.
Both sides.
You're taking it too far.
It's just like it is.
I mean there are certain things that Republicans believe
that we should be stripping down
to the bare skin and bones.
Well no I think we need to have some programs in place
to help protect our communities from craziness,
wandering out there, people that have mental problems.
We need to be able to rehab those people
and kick them back into life.
But then you've got these governmental entities
that are just sucking in money.
You know.
Let's make let's spend 30 million dollars
on the discovery of trying to figure out
if pigeons contribute to the carbon dioxide
for our climate change.
Okay that is the most retarded thing but.
Well hold on what did they come up with?
Well I mean that's just an example.
Are they a significant factor in climate change?
Well I mean.
Well they shit and breathe so I'm sure they contribute.
I mean everything contributes.
Like you mentioned earlier I mean the Great Britain
could literally fall off the face of the planet
and won't make a dent in the CO2 production annually.
That's what I love about California.
They make all these crazy strict rules and air pollution.
For what?
It's not built with a needle and all.
And you are not doing shit.
It is a fart in the wind.
I mean I can't believe that people in California
don't think it's absurd.
Oh but we're doing our part.
Right. Bitch please.
Bitch please.
You need to get some of these third world companies.
I'm not saying I guess India is that third world?
I would think so.
I think parts of it.
I don't know.
Parts of it.
Oh parts of it.
Yeah for sure parts of it.
I think some parts of India are mainstream.
But then again I mean if you're gonna go by that
with this test I mean there's parts of America.
I mean look at Philadelphia.
Oh yeah.
There are parts of the United States
that are third world bro.
Right.
I mean so I don't know how you gauge that.
But go ahead.
Well to fix the, if you wanna fix the CO2 problem
you gotta look over there, India, China.
Whole Asian section over there.
Oh yeah.
They have no rules.
Wherever you're sending our shit to get processed and made
that's where it's happening.
How about.
Well coal.
I mean China is burning coal like crazy.
It's cheap.
Very abundant.
Right?
And they're just doing their thing.
I mean and they don't get any restrictions or whatever.
Well people try and they just ignore it.
Right.
No I think they literally get like a UN pass.
Oh because they're an up and coming.
Yeah because they're a developing country.
A developing country.
China is a developing country.
Oh that's retarded.
It's retarded.
Yeah.
Now you got us on this.
You said Nancy Pelosi and now we're all this.
That's all right.
So.
Spiraling.
So Elon Musk went to China this past week
and trying to negotiate with China.
We don't know the details of all that stuff
but it all evolved around the production
of some of the batteries for the Tesla car
is basically from what I understood.
Well they're moving.
I thought they're moving the battery production
out of China.
Is that what you're saying?
I don't know.
He was over there doing stuff.
I think they just opened up a big gigafactory over there.
Great.
That's what they're opening here in Texas too
if it's not already open.
Great.
They call them gigafactories I think.
Is that what produces what?
You know what?
The batteries.
The batteries I believe.
That is horrible for the area.
I mean we had a battery place here in Frisco, Texas.
Yep, Exide.
And you know that.
This is Austin so we can deal with it.
There you go.
I don't, I mean don't our rivers pass through Austin?
The going south.
Yeah.
So they don't go north.
Oh so the only one that goes north is Mississippi.
In other words we have super clean water
and by the time it gets to them it's soiled.
I don't believe that Mississippi goes north.
What if it goes north?
I think Amazon does or the Nile.
In the United States.
It's not the Mississippi.
I don't think we have a northern flowing river
in the United States.
I think we have one.
I don't think so.
Is it the Chattahoochee?
Could be the Chattahoochee.
With a grand.
How's the song go?
The Red River?
Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee.
Yeah the Mississippi River's north.
How much that body water meant to.
What about Mississippi?
What if you have the Mississippi Delta down there?
No the Mississippi River flows north.
No it doesn't.
It empties into the Gulf of Mexico.
The river's north flowing.
Mississippi River.
Because the Ohio River goes south
and the Ohio River feeds the Mississippi.
Well it says right here.
In the Mahongahela.
Rivers north flowing are the Nile, Mississippi River,
the Red River, the Missouri River,
the Monahagaligan River.
What if we talked about Mahongahela?
Mahongahela.
You know what I think, this is misleading.
You know how rivers wind up and down,
up and down, up and down, right?
And it creates oxbow lakes for it
and when it eventually gets cut off.
Well I think briefly it flows north
before it blows south.
Mostly southward flowing river like the Mississippi
has sections where it flows towards the north.
Even directly north.
If you see a river.
That's retarded.
Yeah.
That's completely misleading.
Well but it says the Mississippi River
is the second longest river and the chief river
the second largest drainage in North America.
Second to the Hudson Bay.
That is completely misleading.
It empties into the Gulf though.
Right.
It is a southward flowing river.
It just happens to slightly move north
and then go south, slightly move north and go south.
That's retarded.
Yeah.
Facts are facts.
Two against one you lose.
That's not about it, it's facts are facts.
Does it flow north?
Where does it empty?
Where does it start, where does it empty?
That's right, there we go.
I mean it starts in the north,
starts in the north, enters in the south.
The caption is rivers flow north.
Flow.
There's your truth and then there's our truth.
Which is the real truth.
It flows into the Mississippi River
as it mainly, as its main tributary,
16 kilometers from the city of St. Louis.
What is the Missouri, okay hold on,
I don't know what the fuck that is.
Let's talk about the Missouri River.
Why are we talking about rivers that flow north?
What was that, okay you were asking.
What was the one that has prevailing winds?
That's a Nile.
The Nile goes north, yeah,
because it empties into the.
And it has prevailing winds
which allows them to sail against it.
What about the Red River?
The Red River is a north central Texas.
Where is the Red River?
North central.
That's Oklahoma, Texas border.
Oh God, what's wrong with me?
Yes, of course.
The Red River.
Doesn't that kinda go east west or west east?
I think it goes, well if you think about.
Well okay.
It kinda starts.
So the border of Texas kinda goes.
From the east to the west it goes north.
Runs from Minnesota to Winnipeg almost.
What does?
The Red River.
The one right here in Texas?
No.
No, the Red River is a river in the north central
United States and central Canada.
Originating at the confluence of the Beaux Dessus
and Otter Tail River between the United States of Minnesota.
Okay, that's not the same river we're talking about then.
Well, I mean I was talking about the Red River
that flows north.
The Red River that separates Oklahoma and Texas.
Right.
Well that's a gay river.
Is it?
Well this month it is.
In the month of June it's gay.
Oh it's a pride river.
Oh wow.
Interesting.
Is your company sending out daily factoid emails?
I'm not talking about that.
So is the Red River the only river that flows north?
There are countless examples of rivers flowing northward.
Some of the most famous.
I don't wanna give a shit.
Some of the most famous ones are now,
along with the Russians, Ob, Lena, Yenisei rivers.
The Red River in the US, Canada, whatever.
I don't give a fuck.
This is kind of a stupid thing
because it doesn't matter if it flows north or not.
It's the elevation.
It flows down.
River travels by gravity, yes.
Correct.
It goes from a high elevation to a low elevation.
It doesn't make any difference
if it's north, south, east, or west.
It's wherever the elevation is.
So my fear, Mr. Producer's put up on the History Channel,
you have just a mass group of pride folk.
It's very colorful.
That are gathered on the street.
Obviously you see a car there.
You can't see anything.
There's so many people densely populated.
What scares me is that.
Are there people in that car that are like waiting
for the crowd to dissipate?
They need Sean Spraer.
I think they gotta be parked.
Oh.
I don't think that would work with that many people.
I think it would.
Challenge accepted, huh?
Yeah.
So you're gonna park yourself
right in the middle of a New York or California park?
No, I would never do that.
Pride parade.
It would probably be to defend myself.
And I'm not gonna talk about that too much either.
So anyways, my fear about little events like this
is that you have some jackass,
some religion that doesn't believe in gay people.
I don't know what religion that would be,
but I'm sure you can figure that out.
That will drive a truck or.
Well they do that now.
That's not gay pride parade.
They do that for Christmas parades.
That's what happened up in Milwaukee or Minnesota
where that guy drove through the Christmas parade.
Well, but he wasn't religiously motivated.
He was just asshole motivated.
Yeah, he wasn't.
The only religion I know of that's motivated
to mass murder is Islam, to be honest.
Islamic radicalists.
Today.
Christianity was that way back in the day.
Yeah, well I'm sure every religion has gone through its
dark, dark periods.
But I would say most religions, including Islam,
are the spouse's peace.
Peace and love.
So I don't think that would be the fear that I would have.
I don't think you would have a religiously motivated.
I think you'd just have a crazy nut job.
Correct.
Man, I tell you what, I am tripping out
on the thing that you mentioned earlier
during our green room before the first podcast.
We talked about the L.I.V. and the PGA merchant companies.
That was a big deal.
So the Saudi-financed L.I.V. golf announced that
this morning that it would merge with the PGA tour
and the tour's European counterpart in a deal
that revert, that's crazy.
And it's all over these golfers that wanted to play
for both and they're like, fuck you.
And they're gonna sue.
Fuck them.
Why would you wanna merge with another
like Saudi Arabian golf team?
Have your own separate shit.
Fuck them.
So how'd this whole thing go down?
Okay, so originally PGA golf had kind of
a total corner of the market on where all the big stars
and the big tournaments and the big exciting.
Well, L.I.V. came along and said,
and they approached all the stars
and just threw hundreds of millions of dollars at me.
Ridiculous money.
Come play on our tour.
And they said you could play both, I believe.
Oh, is that what they led them to believe?
And then PGA came out and says, if you go play for them,
you can't play in any PGA tours.
Yeah.
I believe that's correct.
BS, man.
So that created the big stink.
On top of the whole ethics and morality
of playing for the Saudi Arabians.
Yeah, Saudi Arabians, yeah.
So there was that conflict going on to go,
so you're supporting the whole genocide.
Terrorism.
And all that shit that.
Yeah, yeah.
Oppression of women.
The Khashoggi thing.
Gay people.
Where are the, where is Pride Month people
contesting all this?
Where are the women's elitist.
I think it comes.
Yep.
I think it comes down, I agree with you.
I think it comes down to, we all have a dollar amount
to look the other way.
So I would love to know Target, right?
Target, where is Target globally?
Does Target operate in the Middle East?
You talking about Target the store?
Target the store.
Are there any Target stores in the Middle East,
Mr. Producer?
I would, because if they are, they should have
Pride displays in the Middle East.
Should they not?
You would think.
And if they don't, why not?
So they only, they have Target in the United States
and Canada only.
Okay.
Yes.
Very small footprint.
That is a very small footprint.
Right.
Walmart, where is Walmart in the Middle East?
Target does not have any stores in Europe.
Let's see, worldwide.
That is shocking, that Target and Walmart,
is Walmart in Europe?
Also Walmart is the same.
The company operates under the name Walmart
in the United States and Canada as Walmart in Mexico.
Mexico, African countries?
It's Walmart de Mexico y Central America
in Mexico and Central America.
They're not called Walmart though.
They're called Flipkart.
Oh no, I'm sorry, Flipkart is a wholesale in India.
Oh yeah, there they are, they are.
Yeah, they're in China.
China.
Walmart's in China.
Child.
I'll check out on all the child.
They're in child too.
Yeah, some people call it Chile.
Chile.
But yeah, there's some childs out there.
Chalians.
Child.
All right, so Walmart is way more global than Target then.
If you said it's only in Canada and US is Target?
Correct, under that name.
Interesting, that is interesting.
They're under Target.
Anyway, I do find it hypocritical
that if they're gonna, they go halfway.
And we know why, guys.
They go halfway with their virtue signaling, right?
Well, it's like Disney.
Disney is promoting their latest one, The Little Mermaid.
That failed.
It's tanked over in China and other countries.
Oh, it has failed.
Disney has?
One of the worst movies ever.
Yeah, well they re-released,
they remade Little Mermaid, right?
In live action.
Live action and they changed the characters, right?
Yes.
The mermaid itself, is Ariel, is she African American?
In the movie.
In the live action.
The live action movie.
Interesting, okay.
And when you say live action,
are you referring to non-animated?
Real people, like actors.
Yeah, like real people.
And there's computerized fish, computerized crab.
And who's the guy?
Is he an African American as well?
I don't know, I didn't see the movie, I have no idea.
I'm just curious.
I have no desire ever.
I saw the OG, so I don't need to watch it again.
Just like The Lion King,
just like the remake in all their movies,
I don't need to see them.
All right, so what the,
Mr. Producer just pulled this up here.
What is the movie?
7.2, which is bullshit.
So here's what I heard about.
Oh yeah, they changed their scoring system.
Yeah.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what?
Oh yeah, they absolutely changed it.
So if you look at the number one stars,
how many number one stars
and how many number five stars they have,
there's no way it's a 7.2.
And I don't even know.
Well when you say they changed it,
how do you, what are you saying?
They lied.
Look, you have 40%.
Oh my God.
Okay, if you have 40%, if you have 17,
I mean come on, do the, what's the mean average on here?
It's not 7.2, I can tell you that.
Unweighted mean is a 4.6.
Oh yeah, it tells you down there.
But they gave it a 7.2.
Yeah, they, for this movie,
they had to change their algorithm.
Oh my God.
So what is it on Rotten Tomatoes?
To support the narrative.
Oh, that's insane.
I mean that's a, wow, look at that.
Look at Brazil.
Holy shit.
Brazil's 71.61 star.
Oh, that's Hungary.
Oh, that's Hungary, yeah.
Oh well, they were a very conservative country actually.
Yeah.
All right, so go to Rotten Tomatoes.
I wanna see what Rotten Tomatoes says about Little Mermaid.
And I want Little Mermaid to be successful.
I want all those actors to be successful.
No, I don't if it's woke and over the top.
No, I don't want that.
I mean, let's just, they're starting to queer up
all kinds of movies.
Because go woke, go broke.
I mean, you reap what you sow.
Bud Light, I mean.
Well, here's.
Audience scored 94%.
Here's the problem that I have.
Bullshit.
With what they're doing.
Now, I don't care about Little Mermaid
because it's a fake story.
But when you have like Queen Elizabeth,
there's something on Netflix that they have an African.
Cleopatra.
The Cleopatra, they have an African-American that are.
Egypt was upset about it.
So, but my point is this.
It got tanked.
It has the worst Rotten Tomatoes score ever.
They gave such a hard time for the people
from The Simpsons, for example.
The guy that was doing the Indian accent and he was white.
You know, and he was like,
oh, thank you, coming good.
He's a famous dude.
Abu?
Oh yeah, it is.
So, but they gave him such a hard time
because he's not an actual,
he's not an actual Indian or whatever.
Tankazaria.
And then they turn around.
He's the pool boy in Birdcage.
Yes.
He's also in Godzilla.
But my point is.
Isn't that amazing?
They canceled him.
They canceled him from that show
because they were like, well, you can't make a,
you can't change your accent.
No, no, no, no, no.
He volunteered that.
They gave him a hard time about it.
And then he followed suit.
In general.
And then he was like, yeah, it's not right
for me to be doing an Indian accent.
No, he caved.
It was bullshit.
Well, of course he caved.
But my point is, why aren't they doing the same thing
about the Cleopatra?
Right.
Why is it fair one direction and not the other?
I mean, bitch, please.
Right.
That's gonna be, that's what really grinds my gears.
Be consistent.
Right.
No, there is no consistency.
So what is this telling us?
What's this?
Yeah, I thought it was all audience verified audience.
So 90.
That's a big difference.
94% of the verified audience loves it.
Oh my God.
Like the best.
And then all audience is only 57%.
That's just bullshit.
Yeah, they're fudging the numbers.
Yep.
That's crazy.
Yep, yep, yep.
Now you can't even trust.
I mean, I actually go to IMDB all the time
to look at the ratings before I choose to watch,
to spend two hours watching a movie or not.
You can't trust it.
Now I don't know if, yeah,
now I don't know if I can trust it.
That's crap.
Because you go, oh, 7.2, it must not be bad.
Right.
Oh, anything over a seven is like excellent.
Let's go watch it.
Yeah, not now.
And if they stick to the movie,
I'm sure the movie's fine, right?
It's the fact that the changes were made.
Well, that and all the woke stuff they put in there.
Oh, did they add a bunch of shit to it?
I guess.
So I was reading some review of that movie
and they were laying into The Little Mermaid
simply because they thought it was outrageous
for a woman to be willing to give up her voice for a man.
Ooh.
Oh, yes.
Ah.
That was. Like that?
That was beautiful.
I know, I got a little weepy.
I wish you could do that.
I was so weepy.
I'm gonna go back and listen to that over and over again.
It sounds like the girl from Filtered.
I want a snippet of that.
Jeff, if you can remember,
I want you to send me a snippet of that.
I'm gonna make it my ringtone for Jeff.
The cartoon was great.
You had the octopus woman as a.
It was great.
Forging it's souls.
That's, okay, she didn't sound like that, but yeah.
Anyway, that's a great movie.
Anyway, hold on, what was I saying?
I was saying, oh, oh.
And then there was somebody that lit.
I mean, you know how they, it's ridiculous now
that the news is what Twitter responses are.
Correct.
Which is stupid.
But anyway, one of them was,
she wasn't giving up her voice to be,
because of a man.
Be human.
To be human.
To experience what it means to be human.
To experience love and to experience the life on land
and all that kind of stuff.
And lit into this person that it wasn't about
a feminist message that said,
oh, it's for this boy that she likes.
Anyway, it was crazy.
We just can't get along about anything, can we?
No, not these days, you can't.
But I loved that movie.
I loved when, and we should talk about that real quick.
What were your favorite Disney movies
before they got woke and stupid?
I like Toy Story.
I like Lion King.
Beauty and the Beast is good.
There's a lot, there's a ton of them out there.
Little Mermaid is great.
There's a ton of them out there.
And we're not talking about Pixar, right?
That's the Toy Story one.
Well, Toy Story, well, it's Disney.
Right, okay, if we exclude those.
Exclude those.
I think Lion King is near the top.
I enjoyed Aladdin.
Aladdin was great.
Aladdin was good.
It was.
You guys ever watch The Rescuers?
Oh yeah. Oh my God.
R-E-S-C-U-E, rescue aid society.
That's where you had Bianca.
Oh, that's right, the rats or the mice.
Are they rats?
They're mice. They're mice.
You had Bianca and it was the French lady,
Jacques Gabor, actually that's not her name,
but and then you had.
This was before it was Famous Voices.
I always upset about the fact
that they went with Famous Voices for movies
because they were people that were no name people
that were excellent at giving voices to animated movies.
And then they started to put real actors in there
and it took away.
When did that start?
I don't know, but it took away like.
Well I don't know because if you watch Lion King,
that's got James Earl journals,
it's got Darth Vader in it, right?
Right.
It's got the kid at.
You mean the guy from the Arby's commercial.
No, that's from Mission Impossible.
Fing Reims.
I bring that up every time, sorry.
So what was the one, I'm sorry.
But that's a good question.
When did they start having animated movies with.
Toy Story.
Not real people.
Was it Toy Story?
What do you mean not real people?
Not celebrities.
They weren't always that way.
You mean the voices.
The voices.
It may have been Pixar because you got Tom Hanks,
Tim Allen, and then you have all the supporting characters
so you know all their voices.
And I think it was a brilliant move
to bring people to the movie, right?
But I always felt bad for the people who were
in the industry that were no names,
that were like Little Mermaid.
If you look up Little Mermaid,
you won't know any of those people.
Yeah.
And I bet you if you looked up.
The Black Cauldron was a good one too.
Their voice actors. Beauty and the Beast.
You won't know any of those people.
Yeah, well they're specialized.
I think Black Cauldron is the only PG
cartoon from Disney back in the day.
PG, oh yeah, okay.
Everything else was G.
Really? Yeah.
They had nudity?
Penetration.
Will be mine.
And a magical cauldron.
If the whole kingdom find it.
Look at that.
Nothing could stand against him.
That holds the key to saving a mystical land.
And we show penetration.
Oh.
It's the best.
And there's no penetration like animated penetration.
On a new special edition Disney DVD.
If we destroy the cauldron, it will stop the whole kingdom.
Do they use profanity in this one?
With deleted scenes.
Right.
And more.
Penetration.
We're all lost.
Karen, no.
Walt Disney's
It's probably the, I think it's just the intensity
of the movie. Don't stick it in.
Special edition.
Just the tip please, just the tip.
I like the Fantasia as well, that's one of my favorites.
I wish I had said that.
Yes.
Did you just say just the tip?
I did.
As a, she's like, oh no.
As a Disney character?
I know.
That's really nice.
So there was a
Mulan was good.
I've never seen Mulan.
Mulan was good.
We watched the shit out of that too.
The shit out of it?
And they made the live version of that as well.
You got Pocahontas.
I haven't seen Pocahontas.
Alice in Wonderland was pretty cool.
That came out like
I've seen all of them.
Yeah, Lady and the Tramp.
Yeah.
Oh, those were slow.
The Aristocrats?
The Aristocrats.
Oh my God, the slowest movie you'll ever see.
Peter Pan.
That was when they back, I mean they were slow.
101 Dalmatians.
Well they tried to tell a whole story.
I know.
How about like a regular story?
Like a really old, like Dumbo.
I've watched that once.
I'm not sure I've seen Dumbo.
It's very sad.
It's a very sad movie.
Because it's a little elephant that lost its mom.
Yes.
Really?
Every single Disney movie they lose their mom.
Yes.
Bambi.
Why is that?
What's their obsession with killing,
what do you call it when they kill mom?
Matricide.
Matricide?
Yes.
Are you sure that's the right word?
There's patricide, kill your dad.
Yeah, so Disney's obsessed with matricide.
Yeah.
I never thought I'd say that word.
And yeah, we watched, we are talking,
Julie had a collection of them.
Yeah.
And we just added onto it as the kids came around.
I miss animated movies.
I do.
Yeah, I don't watch them anymore.
I don't.
Yeah, it's just different.
Well it's not just that, is I don't have the kids
and nothing really, you know, if I didn't have kids,
I don't know if I would have gone and seen
all the ones that I did.
We should go see the animated version of Bitway.
I'll tell you, I used to watch a lot of Veggie Tales.
Oh, I love that.
Veggie Tales were Christian based storylines
that taught kids Bible stories.
Yes, it was great.
And all, out of vegetables, I thought it was so fun,
except for the tomato, he's a fruit, but you know.
It was great, I loved them.
Bob the tomato, Larry the cucumber.
Yes.
They were great.
Veggie Tales, Veggie Tales.
They had so many like, the songs were so catchy.
Broccoli, celery, gotta be Veggie Tales.
Yep, I loved it.
Okay, so.
And then of course it was Bob the Builder.
Oh, so we all, there we go.
Ooh, this is the extended version.
Oh wow.
There's Larry the cucumber.
If you like to talk to tomatoes.
If a squash can make you smile.
Oh my God.
It's been a while, man.
This is the extended version.
This is back when life was simple.
There's Miss Blueberry.
Asparagus.
She was hot.
Excuse me.
She was hot.
Yeah.
They really know how to pump up her blueberries.
Veggie Tales, Veggie Tales, Veggie Tales.
All right.
Seriously, this is back when life was simple.
And we thought it was hard.
Yeah, it was crazy.
And we thought the world was crazy back then,
but now it makes us think that life was great back then.
Doesn't it?
I'll tell you, it was crazy back then.
I mean, the kids all younger.
I mean, my house was a fucking tornado with four kids.
Yeah.
But I remember coming home from work, I was tired.
I had two jobs, three jobs.
It was crazy.
My life was a whirlwind.
I would come home literally in between breaks.
During the Veggie Tale days.
I would sit on the floor with the kids and play with them.
Yeah.
And I remember they would climb all over me
and I would fall asleep.
And I'd be sleeping on the floor.
They'd like crawl over me and I'd still try to play with them.
They were like smacking you with stuff.
Oh, dad!
Put your CPAP on, come on.
You're snoring again.
Eat Darth Vader.
I don't think I snored.
I didn't snore.
I snored, but I don't think, you know,
the heavier I got the more I snored.
Yeah, that comes with weight and age.
What were the other shows?
I mean, Bob the Builder was one of them for us.
Yeah, we watched Bob the Builder.
I didn't watch that.
Roly Poly Oly.
I didn't watch that either.
That was a great one.
Yes.
That was a good one.
God, I remember Dylan, my oldest.
He would go ape shit crazy when Bob the Builder was on.
He'd be jumping on the bed and going nuts.
Yeah, do you watch Bear, the Big Blue House?
I think.
That sounds familiar.
I watched Blue's Clues.
Oh, Blue's Clues.
Go watch the Blue's Clues, too.
I remember Blue's Clues.
Then they had that weird,
they switched the dude out in the middle of Blue's Clues.
Yeah, he left.
Yeah, what?
There was a story behind that.
He moved with the college.
Well, he wanted to become a rock star.
He was in some heavy metal head banging game.
And I think he has come back and said he regretted
having done that.
Did you see that article?
Because it was a flop.
No, well, no, no, no.
Well, having left the show.
Yeah, well, I mean, the show was hurt,
but when he left his career,
I don't even know what he was doing,
if he was singing or what the hell he was doing
for the heavy metal band, but his band flopped.
All right, that's sad.
I wonder if he banked a lot of money
during his Blue's Clues days.
Who knows?
I bet no, he'd probably get paid a bunch.
Well, I mean, they had so much, they sold shirts,
they sold toys.
But if he didn't write that contract right,
he'd get shit.
And he gets.000%.
Hey, guys, I know that it's kind of along those lines.
You ever watch The Last Dance with Michael Jordan?
No.
It's fascinating.
I didn't want to watch it,
and I was dragging my feet to watch it.
You need to watch it.
It's really, really good.
And it talks about how Scottie Pippen
signed a shitty ass contract.
Oh, really?
And so everyone around him is making beaucoup bucks, right?
Not counting Jordan.
Jordan's like making ridiculous numbers.
And he was locked into a long contract
that was really bad because he was one of like 14 kids,
and he just needed the money so he could send it home.
He's a good kid.
Right.
And he was such a pivotal part
of their championship runs, right?
Oh, yeah.
Two different runs.
And it's heartbreaking, you know?
Did he ever make his money?
No, not really.
Really?
Not really.
You guys need to watch that.
If you ever see that on there and you remember.
It's on Netflix.
It's worth watching.
It's really good.
I'm watching a documentary now.
It's about this family who adopts
what they think is a six-year-old girl from Ukraine.
And it's.
And she ends up.
I think that was actually audible on my microphone.
I think you shit.
I think that was audible on my microphone.
Yeah.
I just soaked that in.
He had to lean to get that one out.
Good.
Are you okay?
It was those chips.
Well, I get it.
They went right through me.
I'm just concerned for your well-being right now.
Oh, no.
Did you hear that high-pitched little toot?
I have a tight butt.
I did, and now I smell it.
Oh, no, you don't.
Yes, I 100% do.
I don't.
Mine smell good.
I would actually replace that chair, Jeff.
God almighty.
Oh, come on.
Yeah.
I think we might need to.
So anyway, I'm watching.
This might be the first podcast we cut short.
Thank you, Sean.
This documentary, I'm only two in out of four, I think.
But this girl is apparently,
it's going back and forth.
Is she.
It's ridiculous.
A little girl, or is she 30?
And apparently, she's a con artist.
I don't know if she's a con artist,
but she's destroying that family.
Yes.
I'm not all the way through it yet.
But the parents seem like.
I saw the.
Your wheels off as well, though.
Yeah, I saw the article headline.
I don't know the details.
So there's a documentary on it, huh?
Yes, I'm watching it now.
Okay, all right.
Well, let me know how that goes.
You are the, not the authority,
but you are a very good,
you're a very good resource for telling me
what documentaries are good on Netflix.
So.
I'm also watching Pearl Harbor minute by minute.
Really?
It's fascinating, yes.
There were so many things missed.
Oh yeah, they go through all that.
I know.
And they're like, because what's interesting.
The mini subs.
Yeah, the mini subs are in it.
The.
What do you mean mini subs?
Like the submarines?
Yeah.
Japan made mini subs.
They had like two person mini subs.
How many people were in them?
Two.
Well, yeah, I thought it was two.
It was two people.
In Fredericksburg, they have a Pacific museum.
And they have one of those there.
Oh really?
Yeah.
And what's interesting is.
Well hold on, how long does it take
to get from Japan to Hawaii?
Took months.
A long time.
And were they launched from a battleship?
They probably were.
They were launched from larger submarines.
Okay, so it wasn't like they went the entire Pacific.
They would never have made it.
No, but what's interesting is.
They sunk them though.
There was a ship that saw one of the periscopes
or the coding tower or something.
Yep.
And they ended up shooting it
and destroying it.
Yeah.
And what's interesting is,
I never thought about this is,
one of the narrators or whoever said,
little did they know,
but these guys on this boat
shot the first American war shots
or whatever you want to call it.
Yeah, yeah, the first kill.
First shots in the World War II for America
was destroying that submarine.
That's right.
Yeah.
Crazy.
Yeah, there it is, a schematic of it.
Yeah, they said it was over 100 degrees in there.
Oh God, what a nightmare.
Yeah.
Wow, 100 degrees.
You would think.
Imagine signing up for that deal.
Yeah, I want to be in that two man submarine
going 400 miles.
They also, yeah, no shit.
They also said that the aircraft carriers,
they turned off all the heat to conserve.
To be quiet.
Well, to be quiet and to conserve fuel.
Fuel.
So to make that journey.
And it was during winter.
Through the Pacific, which was brutal, they said.
Damn.
The submarines.
No, the aircraft carriers.
The aircraft carriers, all the ships that were coming.
They were doing their,
The United States aircraft carriers.
No, the Japanese, as they made their way from Japan.
To attack Pearl Harbor.
Because they kind of went up
and then they came back down.
Yeah, they avoided major shipping lanes.
Yeah, so they were like.
To do their sneak, underhanded, devious, evil attack.
Right.
When they hadn't even declared war on us.
And what's interesting is they have
survivors of Pearl Harbor on there.
But they also have one of the Japanese pilots.
Oh wow.
He's 103.
Damn.
And he's giving his perspective.
He's like, this is what we were told to do.
Absolutely.
Right.
He was doing his job.
And he's like, we went out there prepared.
We're not gonna come back.
Right.
Suicide mission.
And we don't wanna get caught.
So none of them wore parachutes.
So if you got shot.
You're dying. You were going down.
Yeah, so they didn't wear parachutes.
So how did he survive?
He made it back.
Oh yeah, no.
They got very little resistance.
Yeah, there was hardly any resistance.
We were in peace time.
I mean, we weren't at war with them.
We were caught flat footed.
And we were sleeping.
And they go through all the missed things.
On the radar?
All of it, yeah.
The guy who was.
Like there was some alarms that went off.
They just dismissed him.
They did.
They thought they were things coming from the mainland.
US planes coming from the mainland.
They thought they were B-17s.
Yeah, on the big radar.
And the guy who was in charge at the time there.
Was it a radar reader?
He was actually there to learn.
It was on a Sunday.
What it was.
And he really wasn't the guy there.
But he was like, he's like, yeah, you can ignore that.
That's the B-17s.
So they ignored it.
Unbelievable.
But even leading up to that,
there were a lot of misses.
Yes, they even have like encoded messages, right?
They.
Well, I think we're missing one of the biggest stories today.
And today is June 6th.
And it's D-Day.
D-Day.
You're right.
God, what a day in history.
So how many years is that now?
Is that?
It's, well, it's 1944.
So it's almost 80.
Is it 80 years?
Geez.
Is that my doing that math right?
79 years.
Yes, almost 80 years.
Those guys were studs.
I mean, and we just threw bodies at it, man.
I mean, they knew.
I mean, we got exceptionally lucky.
A number of factors.
They had pulled a lot of things away from the Western coast
because they were fighting multiple fronts
and they didn't think it was, we were gonna do that.
You know what I mean?
Had they been ready, ready for us?
I'm not sure it would have been successful.
I don't know.
Right.
Well, they had to reload.
That's basically the only reason
a lot of those guys survived.
Right.
Their guns jammed or they reloaded.
They almost ran out of ammo.
Just shooting sitting ducks.
Literally.
Those guys on the boats, can you just imagine?
You see that picture I sent you this morning?
You can zoom in on those pictures.
They're normal dudes just like us.
I know.
Dude, they're 18, 19 years old.
And that was what made me sick
about watching Saved Private Ryan.
Saved Private Ryan does a fantastic job
of depicting how that went down.
Right.
Where these guys are gung-ho,
ready to fight for their country.
And the thing drops and they just all get shot up.
Because there's a guy just shooting a machine gun
in straight into it.
Boom.
Straight into it.
Before the show ends, the Normandy landings
were the landing operation associated air borne operations
on Tuesday 6, June 6, 1944, Allied invasion of Normandy
and Operation Overlord during World War II.
That was very wordy, wasn't it?
Overlord, yeah.
Yeah, codenamed Operation Neptune
and often referred to as D-Day.
It was the largest seaborne airport in history.
An amazing sacrifice and testament to those veterans.
And those, I mean, yeah, that's a great way to end this show.
They were the catalyst.
A shout out to those veterans
and the families of those veterans
and what they went through.
That is one of my bucket list items to go to Normandy
and pay my respects.
It certainly is.
And getting back, I'm gonna have to say a big fat no
to this pyramid for me.
Yeah, it wasn't that great for me either.
I didn't enjoy the peat version of it.
I think that the peated whiskey that they put in there,
it didn't work for me either.
So that's a big fat no for me too.
So I hear you.
That's the three thumbs down for Dudes Like Us.
Thank you, Mr. Producer, Mr. Austin,
at Dudes Like Us, I'm Sean.
I'm Paul.
Cheers.
