And here we are.
I think we've had another hiatus we're coming back from.
Yeah, this is the second podcast of the year, I think.
It's pretty much, I think, right.
I'm trying my best to catch up with editing.
So we're about to jump into another hiatus.
You know how summer is, right?
We all have things we're going to go do and vacations we go on.
Well, work gets in the way sometimes.
Yeah, work gets in the way.
We are dudes like us and we have lives, right?
I don't know why we're putting anything ahead of the podcast.
We're making millions off of this and we can retire and just do this full time and then
get what we get.
You know what?
That's a great point.
So any listener out there that wants to hear us more often, I really don't understand that,
but if you want to hear us more often, make us mega successful and we'll be here every
week without fail.
Actually, twice a week without fail.
Every day probably, right?
You want to go every day?
Sure.
Damn, that'd be a lot.
Yeah, it would be.
Well, folks do it.
These talk show guys, Rush Limbaugh, three hour show every single day.
That's very, very impressive.
By himself.
Now, I get that they spend a good part of the day preparing, right?
And they have a team of 17,000 people that give them material and stuff.
Right.
Or maybe three or four people.
Yeah, they get the researchers, but those radio hosts are researchers themselves so
they know what they're talking about.
Well, I know Mark Levin is definitely like that.
He has all this paperwork and he's going through stuff.
He goes very in depth on some of his explanations of stuff as well.
See, we have that luxury.
We can just say, I think so.
Let's Google it.
Yeah, I don't know.
Is that right?
And then like 90% of the time it's not right.
Right.
So that's okay.
We're the masters.
People could yell at us and go, you're wrong.
Yeah, we really should just call our podcast misinformation.
Well, we're getting tagged by that, so we're good.
Oh, good.
Well, you know, we're only getting tagged for the perceived misinformation from COVID.
Well, our strike period is over so we could post again on YouTube.
Ah.
I saw that today.
So I'm just going to upload one, two maybe.
So was that our first strike?
I believe so, yes.
Yeah, the first big one.
So is it one in a year?
Is it three in a year?
Is it just three forever?
I think it's three forever.
Oh, that's not a good start.
We're already 33% in.
I don't care.
But remember, if we're the forbidden podcast, that's when people like, you know what I mean?
That's when they really want to seek it out because it's...
Well, then they bear us and they never find us.
I mean, look, you've got like a ladder with Crowder that was on YouTube forever and he
just recently was like, you know, fuck you guys.
Yeah, he's out.
Where'd he go?
Go to Rumble?
Yeah, he's on Rumble.
Yeah, but the thing is...
Rumble's an option.
They're not going to cancel us.
And why would they cancel us?
We love everybody.
Well, I don't think we've said a negative thing about anybody on this podcast.
The only thing...
Well...
Not one.
Not even about Biden.
We love that guy.
He's an old...
You know, he's cute.
In Camel Town?
Oh, well, we've never called him Camel Town.
Old fart abuse.
That's the first I've heard that.
Do it.
Well, it's just old fart abuse.
Yeah.
I don't really care if you lose the YouTube thing.
You see the two old dudes, King Charles, King Charles is guiding President Biden.
The two of them are like, where are we?
I don't know.
Yeah, Biden tries to talk to the Imperial Guard.
They're not allowed to...
You know, the pillbox guys?
Right.
Yeah.
I guess Biden's trying to talk to them and they're not allowed to talk.
Chocolate pudding around here?
Yeah, but aren't they like, what do you call it when you have the puppet and you don't
move your mouth but you say stuff?
Ventriloquist?
Yeah.
So the guy's like, fuck off, fuck off.
With the king right in front of him.
Without way.
But his mouth doesn't move.
Yeah, it's crazy.
I remember when Donald Trump was walking with the royal family.
Or the queen at the time.
Yeah, he's walking in front of the queen and they ripped his ass for doing that.
Oh, for like being...
Disrespectful.
Just pompous and disrespectful.
Oh, look at him walking in front.
And Biden was an aimless lap dog, rocking around.
It just precarious.
Well, he was aimlessly walking around.
But dude, it's everywhere he goes, right?
Remember when he was in Japan, he was going down those steps and he was like, there was
no guardrail or whatever.
I think the...
Not the emperor, but somebody else was like, you know, kind of helping him.
It just looks bad.
He needs to...
Go away.
Be in a wheelchair?
It does.
It needs to go away.
Well, even the libs are starting to call for him to go away.
That's such a profound statement.
He needs to go away.
Except he's not...
He needs to retire.
He's not going anywhere.
He needs to retire.
He's running for reelection for another four years.
A lot of the libs are coming out to him.
They don't want that.
No.
Even the press is starting to get onto that.
Because they enjoy the fact that he doesn't make any decisions whatsoever.
They've completely controlled him.
So why wouldn't they want that another four years?
Well, they can't get...
Because it looks bad?
Well, he doesn't participate with the media at all.
Yeah.
Except he'll do make...
They'll sit down once or twice a year.
That's it.
I know.
There's good press conferences.
I mean, sooner or later, they can't keep getting away with that.
I mean, the journalists are getting all pissed off.
And that poor lady...
Well, I say poor lady because I know we don't like her, but the press secretary...
Would you want that job?
Just think about that.
Every time you walk into that room, you're like, oh my God, all the shit I'm going to
have to deal with because of all the bullshit that's going on in this administration, right?
With him not acknowledging his seventh grandkid, with him almost falling or did fall.
The cocaine.
Oh, I forgot about the cocaine.
I mean, seriously.
That was one of the first things that they did was they fingerprinted that bag.
I mean, I wonder whose fingerprints are on there.
Well, they know whose it is.
I guarantee they know.
Of course they do.
They have video of it, I'm sure.
Absolutely.
Someone pulled a little bag out of their pocket and left it there.
This is like, I mean, remember how it started?
A suspicious white substance found in the White House and they're now testing it to
make sure...
And they're testing it to make sure it's not like anthrax or something.
And they're like, fuck, it's cocaine.
Right.
And it's some good shit.
Yeah, you're like, dude, this is high calorie shit.
Bobby, taste this.
Anyway, unbelievable.
I wonder if we got a photo of it.
It keeps changing.
This is like an SNL skit, man.
It was in the library, which was very exclusive.
If so many people can get it to the library.
Well, maybe it was Mr. Plum.
Well then, then it turns into...
Really?
Yeah, in the library.
And then it moves into a common area and then it moves to another area.
Oh, about where they're saying it was found.
It keeps moving.
Yeah, because they know exactly who was in the library when that cocaine was found.
So if you have limited access, then...
Oh, I mean, well, I'm sure they can figure it all out, but I mean...
They know who it is.
Yeah, so...
They're just waiting for it to die down in the press.
Oh, by the way, this is...
There was probably...
I mean, if it was in a Ziploc baggie, there's probably a Sharpie name on the outside of
it.
Probably.
I mean, who was gonna...
I would put my name on a Sharpie.
HB?
Yeah.
Well, do fingerprints show up on plastic baggies?
Sure, why not?
I would imagine so.
I don't know.
The buzz is...
But the experts are saying it has to be family because they are the ones that bypass metal
detector shit.
Well, I was gonna say...
They're not the ones that bypass metal, but they go through thorough inspection if it's
not...
Well, I was gonna say...
Through cavities, creases, and folds?
Yeah.
Well, I think it raises the question of if it's not one of them, that means someone else
walked in with a bag of powder.
Okay, it's cocaine this time, but what makes us think that next time it's not something
worse?
That's a good point.
You know?
Yeah.
It could be.
Yeah, so I like your angle.
So we're not laughing at them or thinking it's ridiculous.
We're worried about our president.
Of course.
I see the angle there.
Of course.
We're worried about the safety of the leader of the free world.
Well, what it does is it brings a realization that the White House is mortal.
It has weaknesses.
You mean they're people?
They're human?
Well, I mean, it's like the Death Star.
You've got that two meter hole up there, not much bigger than a wombat, you know?
And if you hit it just right.
Yeah.
Well, I think...
Is it a weakness?
What a horrible design of that.
I know.
It's one...
Well, he did it on purpose.
That was a design flaw that was built in.
Yeah.
Did you watch Rogue One?
Oh, yeah.
He did that on purpose.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Really?
Yes.
Oh, my God.
Who are you?
I've seen Road Run.
It was the one time I...
Road Run?
Rogue.
I said Rogue.
Yeah, he built that into it so it could be destroyed.
Not Shogun.
Who did?
I don't know what the character's name was.
Oh, you don't remember?
It was the girl's dad.
The girl's dad.
Yeah.
That's very helpful.
It was the guy from the first...
Yes.
Really?
That was from Nick Man.
It was Mads Mikkelsen is the actor.
Oh.
So he really...
If I had my laptop, I couldn't...
Yes.
He built that and he let his daughter know, so she went in and got the plans for it.
How did you go from White House to a flaw in the Death Star?
What was your...
Well, because there was a flaw in the...
Look, if they can, like Jeff said, if they can sneak something in there and it's some
sort of dust, if they could sneak a chemical in there, coke, whatever, it could be.
It could be anthrax.
It could be anything.
Oh, I got you.
You know what I mean?
It could be fentanyl.
They just poof.
Just the dust will kill you if it's strong enough.
Dude, I know.
That's crazy.
You get a large crowd in there.
All you have to do is be exposed to the dust of fentanyl and it can kill you.
It will kill you.
If it's potent enough, yeah.
Shit.
So that's what I mean.
I think it had to have been someone who skirted by that check.
They probably have drug bouts there or something that sniffs that shit.
Do you think they have one of those...
What do they call the pen that you have to inject yourself with?
If you...
Narcan?
A Narcan pen?
I'm sure they do.
Do you think somebody near the president always has a Narcan pen?
They have a full medical suitcase full of stuff that's ready to go on a moment's notice
around the president.
They do fights more than just fentanyl.
Just drug overdose.
Oh yeah.
Can't hang over it?
We should buy some Narcan just so when we're done with the rebel.
I guess the point of this is that the White House is porous.
We're in the parking lot.
Dude, I don't know, man.
There are people getting in and regardless who it is, it's family member, some trusted
part of the family.
If it's in a part of the White House that a guest can't get in, like you and I, we're
going up there, we're on tour.
Because I say that technically the Bidens weren't even there.
They said they found it, what, on a Tuesday?
No, no, they found it on a Sunday.
They found it, well, they were there.
They were there.
They didn't leave until Friday evening.
Yeah, when they were gone, they did come back till Tuesday.
Yeah, but they said at first they weren't there and they were.
There was an overlap of time where they were there when the cocaine was found.
And they lied about that.
They lied where it was.
The way she phrased it made it sound like they weren't there Friday, but they didn't
leave until Friday evening.
So they were just like, oh, they left Friday.
So they weren't there.
So that's part of the problem.
When you lie, I mean, you remember back when we were kids, we'd make up a lie and then
you're like, oh, fuck, and then you make another lie and then another lie on top of that lie.
And then it starts to unravel, man.
And that's what's happening to the press secretary and the entire administration that's trying
to cover up for all this bullshit.
This lie on top of lie on top of lie.
These journalists are not stupid, man.
And they're trying to write a story and they're trying to get the details.
Right.
And they're still trying to spin it in their benefit.
It's so dumb.
Yeah.
So yeah, I've done the White House tour.
Really?
Yeah.
You've been in the White House.
Yes, I have.
Now, OK, so you know, you know, firsthand, if you had a bag of cocaine, I could have
got it in.
Could you have like, you kind of tossed it through the door into the library?
I don't think I got anywhere near the library after writing H.B. in a Sharpie on just kind
of throw this big old bag.
Yeah.
Was it a big bag?
I have no idea how big the thing is.
Oh, it was a big old eat ball.
I mean, what is typical?
Like, if somebody I have no idea, you're not going to deal it.
It's not going to be a bunch.
Oh, Sean.
Sean.
Yeah, you're an expert on this.
When you bought cocaine bags just for personal recreational use, how big how big was the
bag and how much was in it?
Typically, you can buy them in a quarter gram, half grams, grams or an eight ball.
That's the traditional denominations.
What you didn't say, listeners, is when we when you realize what we were saying, his
face contorted like really, but he didn't say really.
Right.
Anyway.
Yeah.
Anyway, so that's that's fun stuff happening in the world today.
But yeah, we've been we've been out for a while.
So I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff we're missing.
Well, I went to I was on my wife and I went on a vacation.
That's right.
Two weeks ago.
Nate, Nate, Nate.
Well, first off, we went to see my dad outside of Lake Tahoe.
We spent some time there.
It was really good to see him.
Yeah.
He's doing really good.
Good.
And after his heart attack.
So he's doing well.
Still still not as strong as he used to be, but he's getting there.
He lost 40 pounds.
Oh, wow.
That helps.
It helps.
But now he's really skinny.
Oh, really?
Looks frail.
I'm not frail.
I haven't seen him that thin in a long time.
You know, when he was running marathons, he was in really good shape, but he wasn't old.
So his skin wasn't hanging.
Got you.
Like it is now.
So it's but it was a different look for you.
Yeah, it was.
And did it concern you or no, because he was a he was a skin and bones.
OK, so, you know, he's a he's six one.
He was probably one hundred and seventy pounds.
He didn't look unhealthy, but still it was a dude's like his moment where you're kind
of like, hey, I think, you know, dudes like us have conversations with their parents.
They have to wheel them in and say, maybe it's time that you move and come closer to
where.
Oh, I've had that discussion like after he had the heart attack when he was in really
bad shape.
Right.
And you have to.
But what you have done is you you upgraded some of the technology, gave a watch.
Right.
So when we went out, that's what I was going to say.
When we went out there, one of his concerns about living alone is him falling and someone
finding them in like a month.
Yeah.
Right.
The whole red button thing.
I mean, you know, we're out there and he he accepted this very fast.
I was like, I want you I want to go with you and you buy an Apple watch.
OK.
What that requires is a new phone, an iPhone.
So his phone was so old, it was so slow, it was ridiculous.
He was like, all right, I'll do it.
So we went out there, we got him the new iPhone.
Nice.
And the Verizon, whoever it was, was out of the watch.
Or actually, they wanted the cell service with their watch.
I was like, no, he doesn't need that shit.
So we went to Best Buy.
Bare minimum needed to get the Apple watch.
Yeah.
So we went to Best Buy.
He got the one he wanted and I activated it, turned it on.
So the fall detection is there.
Oh, nice.
And I set up the contact so it'll it'll text me and my sister.
OK.
I told him, I was like, you need to find one of your neighbors and ask him, hey, can I
put you in in case I fall and you'll get a taxi.
You can ever check on me.
But it will also go 9-1-1.
And he's got somebody nearby.
I don't know.
Well, OK.
Well, because they live kind of spread out.
Right.
So well, it's sense when your heart stops.
Let's say you have a heart attack.
It's got an ECG, electrocardiogram.
It does your temperature, ECG, your pulse, ox and your heart rate.
I don't know if it'll detect if your heart stops.
I don't know if it does anything.
But if you fall, obviously, you know, from experience, your father-in-law.
But that's what his concern was, which is remarkable because he was on a he's an older
gentleman.
He's in his late 70s and our mid 70s.
And he backed up into a access to a floor.
And he was like a two foot by two foot square.
And he said, hey, man, by the way, don't step in that.
And then he backed up and stepped in it.
Yeah.
My father-in-law.
Oh, OK.
And he got knocked out, didn't he?
When did this happen?
About two years ago.
Oh, OK.
This is not the news.
OK.
There was a so contractors were using the scuttle hole to do some wiring down below.
And they had a five gallon bucket turned upside down as a step.
So they put their feet in the hole and they step on the bucket.
And then they start crawling.
So he falls in there.
Oh, dude, he was contorted.
So he bent backwards and he was just all fucked up and passed out.
You know, so he was just jacked up.
He was jacked up.
Well, the cool thing is those those watches do work.
So it sent a barrage of text messages out.
No way.
And it called 911.
Yeah.
Everything happened.
But you were all there, of course.
No, we weren't there.
Oh, he was by himself.
No, he was with the client.
Oh, no.
And the thing that the way the watch works is like if he if he slips up because there
are false triggers every now and then.
Like he stumbles and he hits the wall.
Yeah, it's not an exact science.
It'll go off and it'll say you have 15 seconds to say I'm OK.
It'll count down.
I'm OK.
Boom.
It's done.
Right.
But if you're laying there and you don't hit the I'm OK, that's when it goes and it goes
to the business.
Really?
I love it.
Because 911.
I also entered his health information.
So that'll get sent to the first responders.
It'll tell him what medicine he's on.
OK.
So we sat there and went through his medicines and I touched my own.
That's awesome.
So they know what he's on.
They know he I think he had a heart attack.
They're aware of that.
His height and his weight and shit like that.
Right.
That's great.
Talk about peace of mind.
That's great.
Yeah.
So especially like you said, if he lives alone, man, that's huge.
Well, that was one of his his big concerns, because like I said, well, this is before
the heart attack.
He was healthy.
Right.
He wasn't really having much problem.
Then he had that heart attack.
I think he did on his own when he was shoving three feet of snow.
Yeah.
But you know, he had a mortal moment.
Yeah.
He he he did something he shouldn't have, just like we're kind of reaching the age.
We're like, yeah, I shouldn't do that anymore.
Right.
A lot of things.
Yeah.
A lot of things.
You're learning what you can and can't do.
So anyway, so we got that and have them all set up and he's wearing it.
As far as I know, I tell him, I was like, put it in your bathroom so you put your watch
on every night.
You could wear it at night if you want.
Just charge it last couple of days, two, three days or whatever it does.
And that's very cool.
Yeah.
So he's all set with that.
And now if I get a text, you know, I'm not going to do anything, obviously, from out
here.
But at least I'll know something.
Yeah, no, no, no.
That's that's a big deal.
Yeah.
I mean, I probably had that way, too.
If it does go off, I mean, do you have an emergency plan and how to get out?
Well, I need my sister to see if she can't reach out to some of the neighbors.
That would be good to get some contact information.
Right.
And is he so remote that like an ambulance getting there or a cop checking on?
There's actually a hospital just a couple of miles from him.
OK, that's good.
Yeah.
So he's not real far.
So it wouldn't take long.
I don't know where the fire department is in relation to where he is.
That's usually where the ambulances come from.
Right.
I know the hospital.
It's not a densely populated area, but it still has all the city.
Yeah, it's not function.
It's not like every every everyone in his neighborhood area is.
Either two, five or 10 acres.
Right.
So it just makes it look like it's very remote.
Correct.
But it's not really that remote.
I got you.
Yeah, he's close.
There's he was he's within about three miles of a Wal-Mart, but it's down there.
You can't see it.
It's it's so he's like it looks like he's out in the country.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, we're all kind of getting there, guys.
I mean, my my parents live out in Tucson and they have caregivers during the day because
my mom's, you know, nonmobile, nonverbal.
But at night when they're gone, I mean, there's a good stretch of time when he's by himself.
And if she slips off the bed or something, he can't get it up.
Right.
So he sends out a text to the group, you know, to all the siblings.
And there's only one that lives in Tucson that can help.
But yeah, so I mean, we're kind of hard time a lot.
Do I give him a hard time?
Do you give your sibling a hard time?
The one that got the person that lives there that isn't as proactive as you guys would
like?
No.
I mean, not you know, I have my frustration that I keep to myself or maybe I kind of vent
to, you know, to my wife once in a while, because because here's the thing.
When you're I don't know how many miles away we are, but my sister's even worse.
She's out on the East Coast.
You feel helpless.
Right.
And you have this, you know, at least I have this opinion that if I were there in town,
I would be, you know, spending more time.
Right.
I would be visiting.
But you know what?
But that's me.
That's not him.
Right.
I don't know.
He's busy.
I know he's always been busy.
He does not make it a priority.
I think that's pretty safe to say.
And that's frustrating.
It is.
But no, I've never I've never like kind of, you know, called him out on it or or called,
you know, just made it an awkward situation, you know.
But the good thing is he my father has agreed to move to Texas.
Outstanding.
Yeah.
He's down there in Houston and near Coliseum because they your brother has that house.
That's right.
So my parents in the first week of August are going to move in with them.
So now we're making arrangements to get a wheelchair van, you know, to figure out what
he needs to take with them.
All the logistics.
Right.
Well, that's I think that's outstanding because they've been by your one brother, brother,
right?
And yes, for however many years now, it's like, all right, let's go live with someone
else.
What are my other kids?
And my other son is not too far away.
And we'll see.
That's right.
I'm only three hours away.
And now he's going to have time to spend with his grandkids.
Right.
You know, and he's going to have company 24 seven and care 24 seven.
Did he have to think about it?
Oh, he did.
Did you?
Oh, he was a hard sell.
As you said, you have to sell to.
Oh, he was like when I first brought it up and I was like, Dad, I just want you to think
about it, you know, and then I called back right after that because I was something else
I need to tell him.
And he started like, you want me to leave my whole house?
I mean, he started like kind of unloading on me and I was like, Oh, no, no, no, no,
you need to think about that some more.
We're not talking about that right now.
But by the way, on this other thing, I tried to change the subject as quick as possible
because he was melting down.
Right.
And then we had some more conversations and he was again, frustrated, didn't want to do
that.
This is his home.
This is I get that 100 percent.
He's like, well, I'm just going to leave this house, you know, empty.
You know, I was like, well, it's great that they've got a they've got the financial support,
isn't it?
Wonderful stuff.
Yep.
That's huge.
And A, that they can afford to pay caregivers during the day and not have to already have
moved into a nursing home or assisted living.
Right.
But then also now he's just going to pay my brother.
Right.
So he's going to kind of put his practice on hold and they're going to focus 24 seven
full time on caring for my parents, which I think is very admirable.
It is.
There's not a lot of people would do that.
Keep in mind, it's like toileting and showering.
And I mean, your dad probably take care of himself.
Yeah, but quickly fading.
You know what I mean?
So and that's part of the problem.
He's not thinking about his care.
He's obsessed with making sure my mom's OK, which is great.
Right.
That's what the husband of 60 years is supposed to do.
Right.
Lord.
Right.
But but he needs care, too.
Like right now, he's got a cancerous, you know, spot on his face that he's going to
have to have taken off.
I was like, why did you let it go this long?
Every time I do I'm on FaceTime with him.
I'm like, what is that?
That looks horrible.
Right.
You know what I mean?
I think I scratched it.
I was like, Dad, no, I'm making an appointment.
That's the kind of stuff I get frustrated about.
Right.
Like had I been there and lived there and seen him every day or every other day, I'd
have been like, that's not good.
I'm taking you to the doctor.
First appointment.
But here I am in Dallas going calling the doctor's office and say, what time do you
have an appointment?
OK, data.
Let me call you back and see if that works for my dad.
Somebody can somebody take him to the doctor.
You know how frustrating all that is?
Yeah.
So yeah, so anyway, we were out there seeing my dad again, got some really good time.
It's beautiful out there where he's at and got him hooked up.
And that was my main goal to get him hooked up with all that all that stuff.
Yeah.
And then after that, my wife and I drove over the mountains and went to Napa Valley.
Napa.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's they do something there.
They do in Napa.
They grow some grapes.
Oh, grapes.
I thought they sold oil.
Oil.
Oil and grapes.
That's a bunch of oil fields.
Oh, nice.
Like fossil fuels.
Yes.
No.
So anyway, we went over there.
We stayed in actually Calistoga, which is because you have Napa down at the bottom,
which is a bigger city.
Looks like any other city, right?
Just big.
So I've never been there.
So is it literally just small town vineyards, vineyards, vineyards, vineyards, small town
vineyards, vineyards, vineyards?
100 percent.
Yes.
OK, so that's basically it.
Yeah.
Mountains on one side, mountains on the other side.
And it's beautiful.
Oh, yeah.
And you have a million wineries to go to and basically sip, sip, sip until you get drunk.
Yep.
And it's beautiful.
And I'll tell you what, though.
It's like I said, we stayed in Calistoga.
I'd recommend staying because you have St. Helena, which is really nice.
OK.
Then you have Rutherford, Calistoga.
There's another one in there somewhere as well.
We stayed at Calistoga and it's just a small little town.
So does it remind you of like old European towns where everything's old and it's kind
of McKinney, downtown McKinney ish type of downtown fairly newer stuff.
Oh, 50s or however the hell was.
OK, you know, that type of stuff.
But you got the main strip with the stores and the little boutiques, restaurants and
stuff like that.
At least you did Calistoga and just two of us.
And we stayed in some.
We had some cabin and you took turns kind of holding each other up.
We never got shit faced.
You didn't know it'd be too expensive because that's what I'm saying is Napa.
We went for our eighth anniversary back in 2005 or six to Napa to Napa.
Oh, so this is the second time you've got a second time.
And back then, this was before the whole stupid covid and the lockdowns in California being
idiots.
Oh, yeah.
So once they reopened, it cost a shit ton of money to do anything out there before I
could just try to make up for all the money they lost.
Well, it's all these new regulations and bullshit.
Oh, I see.
Only one person at a time inside of this.
Well, it's to control.
I think there's I think there's all kinds of extra stuff that they're charging now.
Yeah, I think they're just it's just a way for the state to make more money, control
shit anyway.
So they could pay for all those crackpipes.
Yeah.
So so at every winery, you just can't walk up like we did back to those five ago.
I want to taste these four or five, six wines or whatever.
You go now and you have to make reservations.
Say on this day at two o'clock.
I want still.
Yes.
Oh, and I think it's going anyway.
Blame covid for that.
Well, that's when it started.
Right.
They just kept it that way.
It is still there.
Right.
So so now minimum is 50 bucks a person going up to 150, 300 bucks a person.
Depending on the winery and the experience.
Wow.
So you really have to choose a pick which ones you want to go to.
So you want to otherwise you're talking about thousands and thousands of dollars.
Man, it adds up quick.
Oh, yeah.
Then you're like, well, I want to buy a bottle of wine.
I want to do this.
Do this.
And we did that.
Five hundred bucks.
No, it was not much.
But, you know, if you buy 50 couple bottles of $50 bottle of wine, you should come back
and shit like that.
So but it's it's in the restaurants are just stupid expensive.
There is no fast food.
Right.
Or anything like that.
There's no inexpensive eateries out there, at least that I've found.
Everything is, you know, you're going to you're going to be over 100 bucks a meal.
Right.
For for each meal.
Just for just for two of you.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's frustrating.
And it's beautiful.
It's nice.
The sad thing about that is it truly it makes it to where if you don't have a very solid,
you know, economic situation, you could do it.
How much of the country is completely shut out of that place?
Well, it's 60 miles from San Francisco.
Right.
So there's a lot of a lot of wealthy folks that live out there.
Right.
No, but I'm saying, you know, like, you know, how many the average American probably couldn't
afford to to fly out to Napa Valley and stay there for a while.
I know it took me a long time to I went to a shit ton of wineries online.
Right.
Pricing them, costing them out to make it cost effective.
Yeah.
So I was like, I really want to go to this one.
It's in the mountains.
There's caves.
I was like, but it's 150 bucks a person.
Damn.
That's three hundred dollars for this one place.
And how long are you there?
That one hour and a half.
You're there for an hour and a half and it's 150 bucks a person, a person.
And then you're going to hit somewhere else that same day.
Yeah.
If you do two or three of those a day, you go.
You're talking about six to eight hundred bucks a day.
Yeah.
So you're in a hotel, not counting meals.
Right.
Well, maybe counting meals.
So anyway, so I searched around.
We went to a couple of the ones that we liked and I found some for I found a couple for
50 bucks, which every experience was great.
So I recommend I know you're not in the wine, Paul, but it's one of those things.
It's still be a very fun experience.
Yeah.
Go do it at least.
Try to at least once.
Right.
Sure.
And then you go to one of these wineries, the one of the wines you see in the store.
Oh, that's where it is.
And yes, it puts a location to.
Right.
Yeah.
Some of the some of the stories.
That's kind of the same thing about the Bourbon Trail.
Right.
Like when I look at wild turkey, I was like, I've been in that place where they make it.
It's cool.
Right.
And what you can say.
And some of the stories and how some of these people start like the people that were there
back in the when Napa started like when Davi, I think, was one of the first ones and he's
got a huge facility out there.
Beringer is another one.
We didn't go into those.
But, you know, there's there's a winery out there.
My wife is called Cake Bread.
And this guy was a mechanic.
Oh, wow.
And he was a mechanic in Rutherford or wherever, wherever it was located.
And he used to be friends with people that own this ranch.
It was a cattle ranch at the time.
OK.
And they got to the point where they're old and he was kind of joking.
He goes, how much do you want for your ranch?
And they're like, well, we're not selling.
He was like, all right.
So he drove home down to San Francisco where he lived.
And his wife goes, what did you do?
And so he goes, well, so and so just come says they accepted your offer to sell us their
ranch like in the drive in the drive home.
They thought about it.
Yes.
And called his wife and says, we'll do it.
He's like, well, I didn't offer.
I didn't expect it right then.
Oh, shit.
So he he worked something out and it was it was cheap.
Well, like 40 grand or something like that.
Right.
For back in the day, back in the day.
And the old folks stayed there.
And then Mondavi came down and said in Cake Bread, the guy's last name.
I don't remember what his first name was.
He goes, hey, Joe, you need to open up a winery.
I'll help you out.
Here are some old here.
I'll help you out.
Here are some vines.
That is a huge part of the story right there.
I will help you out.
Here are some vines.
Let's do this.
This is how you should do it.
Unfucking.
And now he's worth hundreds of millions.
Oh, yeah.
Hundreds of millions of unbelievable.
I love the guy.
So I was like 90 or something like that.
Right.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
And it's very technical and science based.
The whole winery.
Because when we were doing the tour, the guy's like, yeah, you know, we thought we were smart
because we were doing all our I think was Chardonnay because you grow certain grapes,
certain areas in that because the climate or those microclimates all the way throughout.
Oh, wow.
This type of grape grows here across the street.
Yeah.
It won't grow as well.
Unbelievable.
And he goes, yeah, well, we thought we were smart because we're going to do it east to
west so the sun gets it.
Well, what we didn't realize is the sun at four o'clock is hotter than it is at one o'clock.
Oh, right.
So the grapes on one side were different than the grapes on the other side of the same strip.
Yep.
Of the same line.
So like what we figured out is on the new planting, we're rotating at five degrees or
something like that.
Unbelievable.
So they're doing it for the for the path of the sun for the path of the sun.
Right.
Yes.
And there's so much that goes into that.
I mean, and and spirits.
Oh, yeah.
You know, science, temperature and this and that.
And yeah, and these guys, I mean, it's a fine art and they're dedicating their whole lives
to it.
Yeah.
You know, which is super cool.
And that's why when they have master distiller by their by their name or master brewer, right.
Or what do they call those people out in Napa?
Right.
It's a winemaker, right?
Right.
Master winemaker.
I don't know.
Anyway, I mean, there's a lot of same thing.
Yeah, there's a lot of shit that goes into that, man.
Yeah.
So other schools that, you know, UC Davis has winemaking schools.
Right.
So if you want to work for a winery, you go down there.
And the people that do the tastings and the tours have been in the industry for decades.
Right.
The guy when the guy caper is like, yeah, I worked at I can't remember the place of
it, but it may have been Mondavi or something like that.
He goes, yeah, I was working down there and I was a cooperage.
So when its barrels came in, it was my job to inspect them all to make sure they're all
good to go and smelled correct and share all this stuff.
And he goes, and I moved on to this where I checked the alcohol content.
So he was he knew the entire process.
Oh, yeah.
And now he gives tours of cake bread.
And he's like an old he's like our age.
Oh, OK.
Yeah.
That's awesome, man.
So that's good stuff.
Yeah.
So this upcoming event coming this Friday, 1845, I booked three slots for the dudes.gov.
Do you do I need to go forth for Friday?
Friday, Saturday, Saturday.
Yeah.
OK.
That sounds like fun.
Well, I booked it for two because that's the only slot that's available.
Well, and this we do later, but I've already booked it.
So no, no, no.
Two is good.
So I have three spots.
Do you want me to get a fourth?
So where did you go when you were mocking me with pictures while I was in Colorado?
Well, it's funny.
You should ask that.
So you didn't go to 1845?
Yes, we did.
Oh, and it was so much fun.
You want to go again?
Well, or do you feel so immensely guilty that you went without me that you're like, fuck,
we've got to go again, because Paul bitching about it.
Yes.
OK.
So we've slattered.
I didn't really hear you bitch about it.
Oh, well, my feelings were hurt.
You made you made one comment.
You were like, neat.
And then I made like the stiffest bourbon and Coke I could.
And I sat out on the deck.
Oh, no.
Then you drank two Modellos and I showed Jeff the picture.
And you know what he says?
Weak.
No, that's what you said.
I typed what he said.
Yeah, but you were supposed to look at the background.
It was like this beautiful.
I thought it was wonderful.
I was going to chime in something just, you know, royal.
And what did I say?
I said I'm enjoying the the the number one selling beer in America.
Yes.
But yeah, though, the eighteen forty five is cool.
It's what?
Twenty five minutes from now.
Yes, do it.
I'm so you get there and they first of all, it's not just a bourbon place.
They have they they do wine as well, which it's not I didn't like the wine.
It's not real good.
It's un-oaked.
Yeah.
So they don't have that'll put their wine in barrels right now.
Yeah, so it's probably it doesn't grow that great here.
No, they're where their vineyards.
They get Lubbock.
OK, because I know Fredericksburg has a lot of wineries.
They grow theirs in Lubbock as well.
In the hill country.
Oh, OK.
So a lot of the wine, like you said, they're missing there.
So when I taste wine and I'm not a smallie by any means, but I mean, I've tasted a lot
of wine.
OK.
It I don't like it.
It's missing that.
Oh, they're like you said, it's un-oaked.
It was straight out of the stainless steel tank.
Yeah.
OK, no aging.
Yeah.
Well, I don't know.
No, it's not an agent.
Any barrels that was a stainless barrel.
They also had the bourbon side of it.
So we we got this old dude, but he looks so familiar.
The owner.
Yeah.
Well, the old dude, the owner.
So he and he had fallen down the week prior to prior.
Yeah, he was all banged up and not on his four days.
I fell down.
Yeah.
He's on like Hank Hill.
He was beat up good.
He had a big old egg.
Oh, yeah.
Split open.
He was like, oh, damn it, Bobby.
I just fell down in the woods over here trying to.
But he's got out of doing the lawn, though.
He's about to go out there and do some yard work.
So I got out of that.
Yeah.
But he was kind of cool.
I mean, he was he's knowledgeable.
He explained a lot of things that I didn't understand.
Oh, there's a ton of details we we don't know.
I mean, they they touched up on to for some of the charring aspect.
You know, they've got ranges between one and four, you know, and he basically let us taste
between two and three.
Oh, right.
So he same Nashville, same age, same everything.
Yeah.
Same noticeable difference.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, totally.
Totally.
So he was kind of like, well, you know what?
The the number two will have hints of more of a nutty cinnamon kind of flavor.
And then the three will have more caramels, more stone fruit, marshmallows, marshmallow,
toasted marshmallow.
You know, and it's you go out there and taste it like, oh, my God, that does.
I totally taste all that stuff.
And it's the oak that that's that's amazing because and then you have to think about they
buy these barrels, right?
So they have to ask for them to be whatever they buy everything.
They buy all of them at three.
Yeah.
OK.
So they're three, but he's mentioning something that I was I don't want to say I was concerned.
It wasn't a matter of being concerned.
It was just kind of lit my attention.
And so where did they buy these barrels?
So you got barrels all over the planet.
But I mean, typically they go by American oak.
Yeah.
And that's what they use.
American white oak.
But they are procuring French some some European.
I thought was German.
But the European style of oak.
And I asked him about that.
I was like, you know, it's a different species of wood.
I mean, it's technically oak, but it's different.
Is he calling it a bourbon?
It is.
And I don't know if that's necessary to maybe be bottled and bonded.
But the bottle though.
But to be a bourbon, you know, he said we put it in oak.
But the thing is, they're buying it from over in Europe.
Yeah. And he was talking about the species of wood.
He finally said, yeah, the species of wood, the oak that they're getting from Europe is dense, more dense than that of the
the the oaks that we get here in the United States.
And he says they just they come from, you know, these oaks are proven now.
They use them in building.
They use them in all kinds of stuff.
It's just a different animal.
They've been cultivated over there to get strong.
And you don't want it to be.
You want to be porous.
Well, that's right.
So it says bourbon has to be put into new charred oak barrels.
Period. Not as it has to be American.
Doesn't have to be white.
But my point is and to what he said was he's like, yes, you're right.
The American oak has a tendency to be more porous.
And you the bourbon that's in there doesn't have to stay as long to soak up some of the flavors and the color and the color.
However, the other ones you might have to leave in a little bit longer.
So he's saying he can get color and flavor in a shorter time period.
Correct.
Yep. Which seems unusual because it's not as porous.
But, you know, hey, you know, well, it's not as porous.
So it takes longer for it to to.
That's what I'm saying.
So it's flavors.
If it's porous like the white America, then you can you'll get that flavor and color in a shorter time period.
Correct. But if it's harder, which is what he said, I think you were taking longer.
Yeah, it would take longer to get that.
So I'm surprised that and maybe it's a supply thing for him.
Well, and that's why I brought up it might be a taste.
I mean, it might be a good be it could be lots of things, lots of things that he buys a lot of.
He's got a lot of fantastic equipment in there.
He hasn't installed yet.
Oh, yeah. Really cool.
Did you ask him why he went with those barrels?
They said they were trying them out.
Oh, because it's about it's about finding barrels.
He went through the whole spiel about, you know, where do we get our barrels in Missouri?
And that was that was the traditional one.
But he's trying to he's trying to try something new.
First of all, they're bourbon. Yeah, he might stumble on something unique.
They're bourbon scored three in the world.
It's just last San Francisco.
He'll tell us about it on Saturday.
So that says a lot.
Yeah. Wow. Three.
Yeah. For the best bourbon in the world, the San Francisco, which is one of the main ones.
The top three. So it was a heaven sale.
Fifteen year. Yeah. A old Forrester.
Twelve years. I like that. And then them. Yeah.
For two months.
Age two months. No, it's three years.
Age three years.
And you guys think so?
I thought it tasted good. Yeah. All of it tasted good.
It was good. It was what?
William proof.
Hundred Williamsburg. Hundred and a hundred.
They had a hundred, a hundred, a hundred and a hundred and sixteen, fifteen, seventeen.
You know, it's variable. So they had like three or four bourbons.
They had four. Four. Four. OK.
They had a standard. I would be excited to go out there.
They had a standard. They had a weeded.
Then they had a standard bourbon.
The cast strength, right?
No, no, it was a four grain cast strength.
Well, then they had the four grain and then.
Or was it a single barrel? I don't know. They got four.
That's great. They had a weeded one.
And what's the price point?
Sixty two dollars and sixty eight dollars.
Not horrible.
We're about right in the middle of.
I think yours was sixty eight. Yeah.
Plus tax. Right? Yeah.
Isn't that kind of right in the middle of the.
I walked out at seventy six plus.
And I got the bottle at the house and I'm skeptical on whether we want to open that or not.
I'm thinking I don't want to open it unless I get a backup.
Well, we could go there any time about another one.
Yeah, that's the easiest one to buy.
We're going on Saturday. Yeah, they don't sell them in retail.
No, they don't. That's my point.
They don't sell them only only on property.
You have to go out there. Yeah, they don't have that much.
Paul, you walk in there and it is a it is a seventy five foot by one hundred twenty five foot metal building.
And they have racks set up for tall six and six.
So that's twelve. That's forty eight barrels.
Oh, so all the barrels are right there on site. Right there.
So you have four. It's like a micro distillery.
Yeah. So they got forty eight per stack and they had probably one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, maybe ten, maybe twelve, twelve stacks, maybe of forty eight.
So twelve times forty eight.
It's almost like every time they like, you know, pull them out, it's like limited release.
Oh, and they're making some limited release stuff because they are they are they are going to double oak one barrel.
I love double oak stuff. And it's going to be a limited release.
So I didn't really know what double oak was until he had brought that up.
And it's interesting. It's just like they take the oak and they soak it for a period of time and they take it out of that oak barrel and they put it back into a brand new brand new one.
And that's double oak. I thought I never knew that.
Well, and you remember when we don't keep it the second for like a month or two months, they said.
I mean, when you when you first put it into the barrel is when it's like, bam, you know what I mean?
It's that's when I mean, because the barrels get used up.
They can't do anything more. Right. I mean, in terms of color and flavor and, you know, being permeated. Right.
Right. So but when you first put it in there is when so that that makes sense.
They're also putting it in there twice. They're also putting their cabernet into their used bourbon barrels.
Right. And when they pull that out, they're going to stick bourbon in that one.
OK. So have it will be a cabernet finished bourbon. Interesting.
I bet you that would taste good. So that's going to be another deliberate release.
I need to get on their email list because they're little emails. Hey, this is what's coming out.
This is. Yeah, exactly. You didn't fill out one of those cards. Actually, I did.
How often are they? What do you call it when they tap the kegs or kept the barrels?
I never said I wonder how often I wanted to know what the term is.
There's obviously a term for when they're going to do that.
What do you think is normal for even the big ones daily?
I mean, obviously they rotate, you know, they probably they know where they're pulling and thousands of barrels, thousands of what?
They have a thousand Rick houses. Yeah.
Actually, they they did have other buildings.
I wonder if there were more barrels in some of those other buildings that it would be surprising to me.
If they didn't have at least one offsite, you know, Rick House.
But what was interesting is he brought up the climate and he brought up the climate, the humidity.
He brought up the fact that there's a bunch of countries around there and how the countries are having an influence on the flavor.
Well, the weather, the evaporation and it being able to.
So when when when the angels in any devil's cut, OK, so the bourbon is in the barrel.
It starts to evaporate. That is the devil's cut.
That takes away share angel share. And then what's what's left there?
The devil's cut the angel share. What's going on there?
Um, I don't I don't. I thought the devil's cut is what was taken away from the devil.
No, what's left is the angels share. No. So when I was in the wild turkey tour, they said the barrels and it's not all the barrels, but it's at the barrels.
There are barrels at the top of the Rick House that are more susceptible to, you know, evaporation, evaporation.
And then they say, you know, they lose they lose more of the barrel than the other ones.
And they call that the angel.
What he was bringing up, which was odd and I still don't understand how it happens, but what he says that sometimes he said, first of all, it's variable.
You never know what's going to happen. Right. So that, you know, you can you can anticipate.
But, you know, most of the time it's right. But you never really know.
But what he said is they're finding a trend where when you will fill up the barrel of 55 gallons and when they release it, it loses.
I forget 12 percent. It was more than that. It was a lot.
And but what he was saying is that it's very rare that when you put bourbon into the barrel, it comes out at a lower proof than when you put it in.
There's does, though, he says, on a few barrels, it has, you know, there's there's does because of the humidity, he said.
He said it was attributable to the humidity in the pecan trees. Right.
Which is interesting. I lowered the proof. That's what he said.
So typically the water evaporates out. Right. Right. So which makes it more concentrated.
The alcohol. That's right. Stronger. So if there's more you're seeping in.
But if there's more humidity, it's less water coming out and more alcohol leaving evaporating instead.
OK. Yeah. Maybe that humidity is is replenishing the the lost.
Yeah. The loss. I don't know, man. But it was an interesting.
The point is it is a science and it's trial and error.
And like like you said, you never know. I mean, the equipment that you've been doing, if you've been doing it for 10, 20 years, you kind of do know what's going to happen because you've seen every pattern scenario.
You've been tracking the weather. You know how humid it was during the last year.
I mean, they track all that so that they know so that they can have an expected outcome of the barrels.
What was interesting is they still have their first barrel that they dumped into on barrel.
Number one, here goes their infinity barrel. Well, it's barrel one.
They filled it and it's still there. And he goes, we're going to sit here for 10 years.
Yes. In Texas, we don't know if you can age some 10 years in Texas.
And this is a good way to find out. He goes, he goes, it may be crap.
So they normally age it for three years. That's it. Right now. It's three years.
He goes, we're going to do four. Right. So the next obviously it's getting older and older.
Right. Yeah. So but he says that they want to get the their first barrel to at least 10 years old.
That's so cool. And that would be a limited release right there for sure.
Yeah. Oh, that'd be so cool. You've got to sign up now. Right.
You have a bottle of that. And what is it? 55 gallons in a barrel. Is that right?
Yeah. But you evaporate quite a bit. Yeah. I wonder how many like 350 milliliter bottles they get out of that barrel.
I didn't see three fifties out there. They had all seven fifties. I'm at 750. Sorry.
Yeah. 350 would suck. Yeah. No. Seven. All right.
So you're asking how many 750 milliliters can get out of a 55 gallon. Is it 55 gallon?
It's a 55 gallon barrel when it starts. And I guess we got to Google that first is how much does in general?
How many? Well, 750. Well, 55 gallons equals how many milliliters?
I would just ask how many bottles do they get out of a bourbon barrel?
That way we we're not doing the guesswork of what kind of barrel. Well, listen, that's right.
Because hopefully that takes into account evaporation. Right.
Because you're not going to get 55 gallons back out of it unless you add water to it. Yep. Yep. Exactly.
So what's the average? No, it's a 53 gallon.
What yield? What is the yield on a bourbon barrel? 200 bottles, 150 to 200 bottles.
150 to 200 bottles. And that's assuming 750 milliliters, I would imagine. Right. Yeah. Yep.
Angel's envy. All right. So that's a bourbon. Angel's share is what you're thinking of.
Yeah. Angel's envy is the the discolor. Angel's share is what they call what evaporates up into the heavens.
So what's the devil's cut? I don't know. Stick that up. Jim Beam. Yeah, I don't know.
Yeah, Jim Beam is a devil's cut. My lacunus had that commercial, I think. I know.
Of all actresses, she's like a very sultry. She's like perfect for like a bourbon, a bourbon advertisement.
Right. Let's see here. Trapped deep inside the wood. After aging the bourbon, after aging, when the bourbon is dumped out of the barrel,
some liquid stays trapped deep inside the wood. This is the devil's cut. So they squeeze the wood. Angel's share.
I like devil's cut. We've made history by extracting it. Well, I wonder how many folks do that.
Jim Beam obviously does, but I wonder how many people extract the wood juice. Dude, what kind of fucking press are they using?
One of those super hydraulic ones? Yeah, I wonder how they do it. That's interesting. I don't know.
Well, they have those hydraulic presses that I've tried the devil's cut. We even like olive oil, for example.
I mean, you have, you know, virgin, extra virgin, exquisitely virgin.
Hymen olive oil. Hymen cut. I'm pretty sure I've tried devil's cut. I guess I don't know.
I've tried the mini. Speaking of devil's cut, have you heard that movie that Mel Gibson put out, the freedom of?
That's not Mel Gibson. Sound of Freedom was not. Sound of Freedom. That's Jim Caviezel.
Which one did Mel Gibson do? Mel Gibson has one coming out about Hollywood pedophilia.
Yeah. Well, was the Sound of Freedom? Was that pedophilia as well? No, that's sex trafficking.
So, yes, sort of. But it's about child sex trafficking. It's different than the one Mel Gibson did. And it's doing well, apparently.
Yes. Yeah. Well, what's interesting is it is doing well, but there are no movie critics wanting to weigh in on it for some reason.
Well, I think they're trashing it. Yeah. Well, are you saying there are some people that don't want to even talk about it?
Well, there could be a conspiracy out there where they don't want it to exist.
Or maybe there are some higher powers out there in the media. But like, yeah, we're not going to report on that.
Yeah. So, okay. There's nothing there. Nothing to see here. Here's my take.
All right. So this human trafficking, child trafficking is a result of a porous open border with, you know, what do they call them? Wolves?
No. What do they call them? The human smugglers? Coyotes. But it's not just coyotes. It's all over the planet.
Yes. But, I mean, in our particular situation that's become very political, it is having to do with the open borders.
Okay. So nobody wants to hear that there's negative consequences or, you know, negative implications to having this open border.
So they want to turn a blind eye to it. And in my opinion, this is a casualty.
You know, they know what's happening, but it's a casualty of what their bigger goal is, again, which is allow millions of people over, give them amnesty, let them vote, and they'll be voting Democrat for life.
So this is all a grand scheme to keep Democrats or liberals in power. At the sake of our children.
For, and yes, this is an unfortunate, this is a, you know, they're going to turn a blind eye to this and they don't want anybody to.
To a simple side effect of them opening the borders or having our children just mauled and abused.
Yep. And I'm sure this is going to get flagged for misinformation, but that's exactly what's happening. Human smuggling is happening.
Child sex slaves is happening. And we're not really doing anything to stop it.
I mean, you can add all the other stuff. Fentanyl and this and that and hell. Terrorists flowing over the border. Chinese nationals flowing over the border.
I mean, all of that they're turning a blind eye to because this ultimately keeps them in power.
And then they can truly do all the ideological things that they've been wanting to do forever. Every liberal bucket list item.
Anyway, that's my take. I do want to go see it. I mean, obviously it's not going to be like an uplifting movie, but apparently it knocked the woke Indiana Jones out of first place.
Is that right?
Yes it did.
Apparently it's very woke. But you know what? People have said that before. There was a Star Wars movie. They were like, oh my God, the robot woman is so woke and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
So I went into it going.
Well, that was on the solo. Yeah. But even when I watched it, it was like, not that bad.
I was like, really?
Yeah. But it was look, it was bigger than that. It was the whole they're trying to keep us oppressed. And obviously she sounded black.
Right.
And obviously she had a big bud and all the traditional. It was just it was bad taste.
Unnecessary.
I don't think it's necessarily that Indiana Jones is woke at sea. It was unneeded. The girl they have in it is highly annoying from what I understand.
Okay.
And it's basically they've made her the heroine action star and Indiana Jones is an old beat down man.
Oh, cool.
Well, he kind of is an old beat down man. So he really shouldn't have been.
Well, he's divorced, lived on his own.
Really?
Yes.
Oh, God.
Two weeks from retirement.
He lives in the forest?
No, he lives on his own.
Oh.
Divorced, I said.
Oh, divorced. I think he lives in a forest and lives on his own.
So he's not with Maggie or whatever her name is?
No, they're divorced and doesn't speak to his son.
And so it's basically one of one of a lot of people's childhood memories as a stud is just beaten down. Sorry, excuse for a man.
Oh, white man.
That's great.
And then along comes this highly annoying lady. I've seen it. So I don't this is just what I'm hearing that she is just over the top annoying.
In the movie.
Yeah. And apparently I saw a video where she had like four Disney movies lined up. I guess they've yanked her out for all those because of how bad Indiana Jones has done.
Hey, man, what comes around goes around.
Yeah, she was going to be in Star Wars, one or two Star Wars things.
She was supposed to be the next up and comer.
Yeah.
But it because it is doing poorly, right?
Yeah.
Well, I mean, the opening weekend was eleven point seven million, over eleven million for Indiana Jones.
It's July 4th. Terrible.
Which is during right in the heat of summer. Are you kidding me? That's like perfect.
I mean, usually the big summer blockbusters are like.
Well, I think that this weekend you'll see because this is the Mission Impossible weekend.
That's going to go nuts.
You know why? Because Tom Cruise is a likable guy and he works hard and his movies are the shit. They're good movies.
They are.
They really are. And he does all of his own fucking stunts. I mean, the guy's a stud, man.
He really is.
I know he's weird. He's got his weird things, right? We've all talked about that before and his whole.
What's the religious bullshit?
Scientology.
Scientology and all that kind of weirdness.
But I mean, you can't you can't fault the guy for being an amazing entertainer.
I mean, you can't you can't deny the latest top gun was this way.
You can't deny that he was full of energy throughout the whole thing.
And yeah, as much as I want to beat it up a little bit, I mean, it was fun.
Yeah, he's entertaining.
It was an amusement park ride.
Yeah, I'll go see it. My wife won't go see it. She's like Tom Cruise.
When does it open?
This weekend.
Friday?
Thursday evening. Yeah, it's usually that midnight show is the first one.
So we're going to midnight on Thursday?
That Thursday. That's where the boys and the kids go.
I know.
That first show in.
I would be asleep at 1210.
For sure.
I'd be like, I'm so ready for this.
I'm going to go to bed.
It's probably a good two and a half hours to wake up the credits.
And what do you call it?
The previews are almost done.
Well, I watched a little video.
You guys may have seen this well, the stunt that he does in this one where he
rides the bike over the cliff.
Yes.
I watched it where he practiced to do that.
He did 18,000 ramp jumps and skydived 500 times to train for that.
Over and over and over again.
And they said when they filmed it, he did five or six jumps over and over and
over again to get every camera angle.
Correct.
Dude, the guy's a beast, man.
Yeah.
Well, when you got that much money, I mean, look, any parachute, I was going
to say paratrooper, but any person that does skydives would love an
opportunity like that to be able to get on a plane, jump off, get back on the
plane, jump off.
I mean, shit.
Can you imagine spending a whole day doing that?
What a fucking high.
Well, and I think that's 500 times in a year training for it.
Fifteen thousand jumps, 15,000 bike jumps.
Well, you know, it's not it's not thousand.
Fifteen thousand.
Do you remember Apollo 13?
They did what they call the vomit comet, the airplane that would go up and
then do a nose dive so that they would be weightless.
And so they had they filmed those scenes and that was Tom Hanks and Bill Paxton.
And I don't remember the who was the third guy?
I don't know.
Anyway, so they killed Gerard.
They did that over and over and over again.
And, you know, throughout the filming of the of those weightless scenes,
imagine that.
That's insane.
It would be fun, but damn.
Yeah.
Tom, I mean, Tom Hanks is doing this.
I mean, he was a top of the A-listers at the time.
At the time.
Yeah.
He's kind of slowed down.
Yeah, he's mellowed out of it.
Slowed down quite a bit.
Well, he probably can't do that shit anymore.
No, no.
You know, Tom Cruise is he's in the 60s, early 60s.
Yeah, that's super cool.
Who else is known for like doing their own stunts and all that kind of stuff?
Evil Knievel.
Polly Shore.
Those are the two at the top of my list, too.
You guys are on it tonight, man.
I'm very, very impressed.
Yeah. Evil Knievel did do his own stunts.
He did.
But he did not die in a stunt.
Didn't we see that out?
No, he died of something else.
But his son did.
I think his son died in a stunt.
No, I don't know.
I don't know either.
I don't know.
Anyway, what about Keanu Reeves?
Ed Harris.
Keanu Reeves.
Does he do, oh, Ed Harris.
No, no, he was the.
Who?
Is an Apollo 13 cast, Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton, Ed Harris, who was a Jean.
He was in Right Stuff.
Yeah, but Ed Harris was the dude that wore the vest.
He was like the.
Oh, the control room guy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're right.
Then you have Kevin Bacon.
Kevin Bacon was the third one.
Yeah.
Kevin Bacon.
And then you had the other guy.
You had the.
You had a.
Gary Shinise.
Yeah, he was the one that couldn't go.
Remember, because he got the flu?
He's a good conservative.
Huh?
I haven't seen that movie in years.
Well, he ended up getting the flu and he couldn't go.
And so Kevin Bacon went in his place.
And that saved their hides because Gary, whatever his character's name is, he stayed back.
And he went in.
Figured out the.
Yep.
He was.
Star from Cup and String.
Well, he had to do all the sequence of turning things on and off to make not let the battery
go over because they were trying to do shit in the lunar module that they never designed
it for.
Right.
So he was going over and over and over again.
He was like, you went over, you went over, you went over and he was like, let's do it
again.
Let's do it again.
So then they came up with the exact playbook of what they needed to do up there.
Dude, man.
When you talk about that is the greatest rescue operation in the history of mankind.
Yeah.
In my opinion.
And a lot going on.
Nothing can top that square square peg or square in a circle.
Whatever.
Yeah.
It was about the carbon dioxide, the oxygen levels.
That's right.
Well, the the filter carbon dioxide filter.
Right.
Oh, it was one problem.
Take your left sock off.
Yep.
And so we dumped out a box of this shit.
So figure it out.
They said this is everything the astronauts have on the lunar module.
Right.
Build something that saves our lives.
And it was one of those after another, after another.
Yeah.
I want to watch it again.
It's been years.
Oh, such a great.
It's an A plus movie in my book.
It was well done.
Yeah.
Right stuff as another one.
I want to watch that again.
I think I've seen that once.
I need to go back and watch that.
Yeah.
That's that's same.
Not the same story, but the same folks.
Right.
During that period during that period.
So I think it was leading up to them going to the moon for the first time.
Well, it starts with Chuck Yeager.
Yes.
Testing the X-12.
During that decade.
SR-71.
It would be fair.
I would love to go through a timeline.
The JFK said in 10 years, we're going to the moon.
And I would love to see.
Is that even close?
I don't know.
I don't know either.
I would love to see a timeline of all the shit that had to happen with all the big names,
Chuck Yeager and all of how they pulled it off.
Amazing shit.
All right.
Good podcast.
There's tons.
All right, dudes like us.
It is the 7-Eleven.
God bless.
I think they have to get your free ice cream today at the 7-Eleven stores, don't they?
Maybe.
I don't know, do they?
I just realized we're going to have to double up on the Bourbons on the next podcast.
We'll talk about both of those next time.
All right, cool.
All right.
Well, thanks to our producer, Mr. Austin.
