So how is that Heineken silver?
I enjoy it.
It's not, it doesn't taste like a white beer.
You know what I like about it?
I like Heineken.
Heineken has a unique taste.
Heineken's my Bud Light.
You know, without the weird, weird.
You know, I told you this when my son was over in Germany or wherever the hell that's
from.
Holland.
Holland, he was over there.
And the locals were like, what kind of beer do you like?
He's like, well, I like Heineken.
They laughed at him.
They're like, well, that's the crap beer.
It's crappy beer.
How many times do we hear that though?
Same thing with Mexico.
What do you guys drink in the United States?
Oh, we drink the.
The Dos Equis.
No, no, no, no.
The Cate.
Corona.
And then people in Mexico are like, Corona is the shit beer.
I went to the Heineken brewery when I was in Amsterdam back in 2007.
Wow.
So we'll we have our second half of the podcast, September 19th.
Obviously, you guys have heard the intro folks speaking.
We got some guests here.
We've got our podcast working hard.
Hypothetically, welcome to the second half of the podcast.
I'm not doing shit.
Yeah.
We're talking about the bourbon right now, but dudes, I guess I'm Sean.
I'm Paul.
I am Jeff and I'm Ryan.
What the hell was that?
That was Ryan.
No, that was not.
She's saying I'm Ryan.
Some sort of mating call.
Well, my nipples did get hard a little bit, so it didn't work.
I was like, I'm so curious.
So throaty the way you said my voice.
Geez.
Well, you know, we we have a lot of topics to get through, so we got the list and it
is just rich.
You know, well, let's tell you what, I don't want to like beat the shit out of politics,
but I will talk about some things kind of funny, silly regarding politics and going
into the Senate.
So look, let's say you get a job just for success.
You heard about that, right?
Guess what?
If you if you got a good job, dress for success.
For sure, don't show up with with with a tank top and sports shorts.
Oh, with Fetterman attire.
Oh, geez.
What is going on?
I don't understand how he hargo shorts and hoodies, shirts.
This is the only thing that why does he get an exception for this?
I don't know because he's fucking hearty and damaged.
I don't give a shit.
Here's the thing.
When you think about government institutions that are like highly respected, the Senate
is got to be right there at the top.
Absolutely.
And they were given somebody's shorts.
Omar, Ilan, well, they were given her shit about wearing her head dress, you know, and
all of a sudden she was like, fuck it, I'm wearing it because it's part of my culture.
Her hijab.
And she is wearing it.
And I accept that.
But I accept that more than Fetterman.
Absolutely.
If that's what she wants to wear, then I'm OK with that.
But Fetterman coming in and like ankle socks, sneakers, a hoodie and cargo shorts.
Like what the F?
Yeah, because her cultural dress is not disrespectful.
Absolutely.
It can be very classy.
Absolutely.
And in their country, in their culture, it's yeah, it's dressing up.
Hundred percent.
But the Fetterman thing, I don't get it.
I don't get it.
I don't understand how he got elected.
It's because he's a man of the people and he wants to dress like the people.
First of all, the Senate dress, for many people in the Capitol, the staff, the aides, the
clerks, the gays, they have a strict dress code that apply.
Oh, yeah.
That's correct.
Just close the plot.
But if you're in the Senate, then well, OK, so.
So it's always been a strict everybody wears suit and ties.
Everybody like dresses up, all that kind of stuff.
And then Schumer over the weekend quietly over the weekend, right, when there's no news
and all that kind of shit, right, like the Friday afternoon news drop, he changed the
rules and he did it for Fetterman.
It makes no sense.
Does he not know how to put a suit on?
He doesn't know how to dress himself.
It doesn't make any sense.
Well, that's where the wife comes up and lays it out every morning.
Here you go, sir.
Right.
He still put it on.
Is that like Arnold Schwarzenegger's made kind of wife?
He can't use buttons anymore.
That's what it is.
Oh, even the snap ones.
I need a T-shirt and a zipper because I can't button buttons.
Oh, he needs Velcro.
The old school 80s ruse shoes.
Remember those?
The ruse with the Velcro in the pocket on the side.
Guys, just being honest, when you see pictures of him in the Senate, he looks like a fool.
Yeah.
You see that new mustache he's sporting?
He looks like Breaking Bad guy.
Chester the Molester.
Looks like a young Buddy Epson.
It's just sad.
I mean, because he is cheapening and watering down and disrespecting the Senate.
That one right there.
Yeah, look at that.
Look at this.
He's wearing like a what is that, like a black Dickie's collared shirt button up.
No, he's got a he's got his wearing a hoodie.
He normally is.
You know what?
Whatever.
I don't care.
I do.
You know what?
It's about respect for the institution.
I mean, look, if I were to show up at a job where I'm at and I didn't wear appropriate
attire, they'd call me out.
They'd be like, hey, dude, you can't wear that.
You need to be professional.
Right.
Imagine me showing up.
It depends on where you work.
But yes, absolutely.
You work at a higher tier area.
You got to dress professionally.
Imagine me showing up in New York City for a high profile client meeting in the Rockefeller
Center and I'm wearing that.
I'm wearing a fucking hoodie and shorts.
I would be told.
Can you sell this guy?
Hey, this is good enough for the Senate these days.
Yeah, I kind of lower the bar for the Senate.
Again, I don't think he can.
I don't think he has the dexterity in his fingers anymore.
You know, to button up a shirt.
He just does.
I really think that's what it is.
I know it sounds stupid, but it makes no sense.
Anyway, so the very large to man back in the day.
Right.
And so there was a reaction to this.
Right.
I know Marjorie Taylor Greene.
She said some pretty like inflatable.
She's always saying inflammatory things.
Right.
I mean, she heard that.
Yeah, she's always over the top.
But so what did she say?
She was dogging him for for basically, you know, watering down.
I made a grunt noise when he said Marjorie Taylor.
Oh, I thought I went the vibration over there.
Oh, because you're not a fan.
Not a fan.
No, I'm not either because she heard repulsive.
Yeah.
It's just a human.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't care about your political affiliation, right, left, whatever.
Same way.
Don't care.
But don't but don't be repulsive.
Right.
If if if see, my my entire thing is is this like we've talked about this before.
I think the last time I was on here, you know, we're talking about Trump.
If you're being Trump, be presidential.
I believe a president should be president.
I agree.
I think a congressman should be should Congressional.
Yeah, sure.
It's a made up word, but that's Congress mental.
But I mean, like you have there's a there's a certain way of communication that that you
have to have.
Yeah.
You have to have respect for other people.
You have to you.
You just can't.
It's repulsive.
There is a standard that this goes back to the dress code.
There is a standard, an expectation of a standard, a very high standard to be a part of that
institution.
I agree.
And the respect needs to be it's got to be reciprocal.
I mean, everyone there is everyone there should be should be civil.
Right.
Should be adults.
Well, it used to be I don't know if they still do those, but it used to be my friend.
Yes.
On this side or my friend on that.
Absolutely.
They still say that.
Correct.
Yes.
And then you're referring to somebody on the Democrat side, you say, my friend, the Democrat
and they don't do it.
There's there's no civility.
Yeah.
Now it's the now it's the prick from Carolina and the slut from Dakota.
Yeah.
Pretty pretty much.
Pretty much.
Yeah.
I heard say.
But I agree.
You know, we used to be civil.
And I think we talked about that before.
And tin can federman tin can federman.
Jesus, man.
I feel bad for the guy.
Oh, I mean, because I feel like he's being taken advantage of, too.
Well, just like Biden, I think Biden's been taken advantage of.
I think somebody to fill that Democrat ticket.
So they were just like, fuck it, dude.
You know what?
You're going to get sympathy points to see what that thing was.
I cannot believe who we were over against.
Like the doc was a doctor.
He was Dr.
Dr.
Jesus Christ.
He was not a good guy.
He was talking about his accoutrement and is like, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
At least he's present.
His accoutrement.
So but I mean, like, was it Dianne Feinstein?
Like Dianne Feinstein.
She's already dead.
I mean, she's alive there.
I mean, she's been in hospice for five years.
They were entertaining the idea of like, like, well, if she dies, well, maybe her daughter
can just take her place.
Hold up.
Does that need to be an elected official?
Correct.
Who elected the daughter?
Well, until the next election.
So if somebody dies in office, yes, somebody is appointed.
The governor.
But the governor.
Exactly.
The governor appoints somebody.
Somebody is appointed to finish the term.
And then there's a special election.
If he appoints the daughter, then he appoints the daughter.
They had her on video the other day where somebody was telling her how to vote.
No, you have to vote this.
Right.
And she got.
Hi.
Unbelievable.
Say yes.
What is so?
Yes.
Crow.
So yeah.
So what did Nikki Haley call the Congress?
She called it the luxury nursing home folks.
Yeah.
Mitch McConnell, I think, is another one.
He's freezing up.
He needs to go as well.
He's going.
He's like, I'm fine.
I'm fine.
Yeah.
But he's staring off into space.
First off, let's have it twice.
First off, he's droning on.
And that's why we need to pass legislation that is good for the country.
And I love how they have the windows, the startup windows noise and the closed out windows
noise.
He's like, a little buffering.
Round and round and round.
And then the lady steps in, she's kind of like, Congressman or Senator, Senator, did
you hear the question?
Right.
And then they and then they and then they're like, oh, yeah, I like bread.
We have a revac, evac, evac code one, evac code one.
And then they like walk him away.
That's what they do with Biden.
This way.
Walk this way.
Well, that's what they do with Biden as well.
Right.
I know they direct him.
You know, remember the whole Easter bunny thing where the Easter bunny had to come save
him from questions?
Yes.
You remember that?
Yes, I do.
That was ridiculous.
It was ridiculous.
Did you watch his UN speech today?
No, no, no.
Hell no.
I watched the whole thing.
Did you really?
Yes.
How scary was it?
It was a train wreck.
Really?
I mean, he didn't fumble that much.
But what he said, why are you bringing up LGBTQ, ABCD, elemental P and fuck it, the UN?
They why do you have a priority right?
Why do you have that in the UN?
It's not a priority.
It's something that he basically said because the UN doesn't give a shit about that.
Yeah, they don't.
No one gives a shit about that.
Actually, that I don't mean that in a negative way.
We don't care about it's not a legislative priority.
It's not.
Look, it has nothing to do with sexuality, has nothing to do with the way we govern things.
That's right.
It is not a legislative priority.
Do you suck dick or you don't just just keep that's it's personal.
You do that on your own time.
I don't need to know.
I get it.
Do you guys see the footage of the church here in Dallas that I sent you?
I started watching it.
It was too painful.
I turned it off.
I saw them like regurgitating a pledge.
Drag queens.
Well, well, well, well, we're going to use a walrus phone tonight.
It was horrendous.
What happened?
Yeah, go ahead.
It's a church here in Dallas.
The name of it's in the in the in the video.
But essentially, it's a full church and they're basically reciting their doctrine or whatever.
And basically it's it's all of it's about inclusion and how we're going to fight the
hate and the violence and all that stuff.
It's it.
They've got a huge rainbow, not a flag, but it's like a banner, like like 12 foot tall.
Listen, I'm OK with that as long as.
No, I'm not.
I'm not.
Not church.
I am.
I'm not in church.
The church isn't not.
Church is not a celebration of sexuality.
Church is a celebration of spiritual awareness.
Right.
But I don't think we should exclude people who just because you're gay.
I'm not saying they can't show up because they suck dick.
I'm just saying they can't have the flag back there.
That's not a church and gay pride doesn't mix.
It's not the same thing.
Yeah, but there's all sorts of kinds of churches.
And I think here's my opinion.
As long as you're not hurting somebody mentally or physically, you know, we have a freedom
of religion.
It's one of our given rights from our founding fathers.
And we all don't have to pray the same.
And they feel included in that or maybe they felt excluded in other places.
But the only problem I have is when you when it comes to something like that is when you
force that opinion down somebody else's throat.
As long as you're on your own time and you you have your own congregation and everybody
is gelling together, those people feel safe there.
I'm OK with that.
I just don't want them to exude that ideology on me forcefully.
Well, they're they're taking that ideology and they're bringing it to the schools, doing
story time dressed up as trans.
And again, I don't but is that church doing that or is it?
No, they're not.
No, no, it's not.
That's what I'm saying.
But when you start talking about these things, you start making these correlations.
You know, you start like connecting dots between it.
It's just like this this programming method.
So I'm not against it.
I agree with you 100 percent, 99 percent about the church thing and having them.
When I say them, if I'm gay, I shouldn't be excluded.
I should be excluded from worshiping just because it's not about the worship.
It's about the ambiance of the worship.
It's just like they've taken worship and the celebration of God and they've turned it into
a.
Well, I mean, does their crucifix have like Jesus with a rainbow instead of a thorn crown
or like the big backdrop was like a 15 foot tall banner of a man.
Look, it sounds shitty because I don't want to throw stones at the gay community because
I don't care.
I have really great friends that are gay.
And it doesn't bother me.
But what it does bother me is that if you have that life, either a life decision or
your program that way and you choose to float that way, that's you.
And that take your spirit and run with it, man.
But don't program my kids.
Don't program my lifestyle.
Don't program my community program and keep your shit with me.
I don't flaunt my sexuality on you.
Don't flaunt your sexuality.
Fair enough.
But are you kids going to that church?
Do I have straight flags at regular churches?
Agreed.
There's no American flags that I know that are in churches.
I get it.
That's a great point right there.
There's no American flags and great.
There's no Texas flags.
I mean, the focus in a church, the focus should be on it should be God, spiritual health.
Yeah.
They putting a flag in a religious building.
I get what you're saying.
And that's really it.
That's really it.
It's the common thing.
And that looks so with the video that they showed was so creepy.
It was culty.
Yeah, I didn't see it.
So fair enough.
I don't know.
I'm just kind of expressing how I feel.
See here's the thing.
Take a look at it.
I don't know.
Yeah, I get it.
And it's not just a flag.
That's like a huge that that thing looks like it's like 10 feet wide.
Yeah, it's like something you'd see on the side of a building.
So let me so let me let me dive into this.
All right.
So a big a big part of the message of Jesus is to look out for the people who are marginalized.
Yes.
OK, that's huge.
Marginalized is across the board.
Poor people, people who come from poor countries, you know, all this kind of stuff, marginalized
people.
OK, but but it doesn't mean it doesn't mean that we change that we change the message,
the delivery of the message, the focus.
It doesn't it doesn't change for any particular type of marginalized person.
Right.
Everybody's welcome.
Love your brothers and sisters.
Yes.
They are brothers and sisters.
But they didn't say trees.
They didn't say dogs.
They didn't say cats, brothers and sisters, male and female.
You know, so earlier in the last, you know, so earlier in the last podcast, Sean, you
were talking about you were talking about your know your issue, your issue with there
being what is the scholarships for colored people?
Yeah.
So let me let me say something about that.
So again, that is we live in this culture of helping out people that society thinks
is marginalized.
OK.
And we want to create opportunities for them because for some reason, whether whether it
was the color of their skin, whether that hold on, whether it's the color of their skin,
whether it was what country they came from, whether it was born into poverty, you know,
whatever color you are.
I mean, there are different things that create less opportunities for you.
And then there's not equity.
And so the mentality is, OK, let's work together to create opportunities for people who are
marginalized.
I don't care who they are.
I think I think if you look at that, I think it needs to be look at class level instead
of race level.
Yeah, I agree.
We need to get away from skin color.
Correct.
Because there are sexuality, male or female.
Yes, there are just as many, if not more poor white folk than there are poor black folk.
Yes.
When you look at it just generally margin, that's sort of kind of that's what really
struck a nerve.
I was like, you know what, man, there are there are tons and tons and tons of poor white
people out there.
There are way more because well, yeah, not just what I was going to say.
I was going to say, like, if you look at numbers, there's obviously there's more white people
in America than there is any a lot more.
Yes.
And that also means there's more white poor people.
That's right.
Correct.
Yes, a lot more.
So to me, you have this handful of you have this handful of people that achieve this like
super high what you call it, which will one percent status or whatever, or higher tiered
living status.
But the more population that you have that is a quote unquote your race, the more the
bottom and there's going to be.
And so that means that technically, I mean, there's there's more poor white people than
there are.
And here's the thing.
This has become a social construct in America.
I mean, think about how many generations of poor white people in the same family have
never gone to college.
Right.
Never because they're so busy working blue collar jobs.
That's right.
And you hear about, you know, they're the first person, this son, this son, who's the
third son of the fifth generation was the first kid got an opportunity to spend one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars to get a degree.
Well, look at the whole area of Appalachia.
Right.
Exactly.
Kentucky, Western Kentucky, Western Tennessee, Eastern Virginia, West Virginia.
Absolutely.
Extremely poor, extremely.
I mean, college really off their radar.
Literally coal miner daughter stuff.
Correct.
And it's it's and I we talk about college.
I took a sociology of Appalachia class at college and it's it dug into the mindset of
these people who never leave.
They don't know what's outside and they don't they're not uncomfortable.
They are in these little.
Yep.
They're terrified to leave their small town.
Correct.
You have the exceptions who break out.
Right.
And those communities are closed and you don't leave.
And nobody comes into those communities unless they're born into those.
That's right.
Right.
That's right.
And guess what?
That is a marginalized segment.
A hundred percent of society.
And guess what?
Those people would benefit immensely from a bourbon making scholarship that gives them
an opportunity to do something that something hasn't happened in their family for generations.
Especially if they have like decades of inbred learning.
It's a bourbon.
Oh, yes.
That's true, too.
I can't count to five, but I can make the sweetest bourbon you've ever had.
It's just I just I just wish this country could take a step back and look at that's
what we talk about merit.
We talk about merit.
So let let one hundred and fifty people apply for the scholarship.
Look at their backgrounds and let them look at the higher the best 20 and don't and don't
look at color of their skin, look completely at what they've done to get here and how badly
they want it.
Yeah.
Right.
You would think anyway.
And I just I just want to do it.
So does it work?
I wanted to put a stamp on that because and remember this bourbon company, right?
Pin Hook is they're thinking they're trying to make a difference.
They're not evil.
They're not bigoted.
They're not they're not you know, any of these things that are like they're not woke.
They're not even woke.
Yeah.
They're simply they're saying I wasn't throwing stones.
I know you I'm not I'm not criticizing you at all.
I'm trying to kind of capture the narrative.
Right.
I mean, they're simply trying to make a difference for a marginalized community.
But I think it's too narrow.
It's too narrow.
They think they're doing the right thing.
They do.
And I and that I disagree.
And that church.
No, I didn't say they are doing the right thing.
I said they think they're doing they could.
I don't think guys.
I think they think huge.
I think they know what they're doing.
And they could be getting trying to get those ESG checkpoint.
Oh, well, that's that's a whole.
You know what?
That you great.
You raise a great point.
They might try to be getting bonus points because that's what society wants them to
do.
Yeah.
Correct.
And that's bullshit.
Yes.
Well, they would limit it to just colored people.
I mean, does I mean, you know, that checks about guys.
But we're seeing that across the board.
This whole, you know, non colored people need not apply for different jobs and stuff.
Well, I mean, like, look at like I long what I think it was Continental Airlines.
I'm not going to say Continental.
I'm going to say it was it was because I don't know for sure.
It was one of the major airlines made a comment the other day that they said that they were
going to start hiring more diverse races for pilots.
Correct.
And even like this black community because he was cracking up.
I can't remember which which one who said it.
I think maybe not.
I want to say Brian Simpson because he's fucking hilarious.
But somebody I anyways, the comedian was saying, I don't care what my pilot color my pilot
is as long as he knows how to fly the fucking plane.
No shit.
Get me home.
Yeah, exactly.
Get me home safe.
He's like, if if if if one color pilot flies the plane better than the other kind of pilot,
I want the one who knows how to fly the plane better.
That's kind of like our vice presidency.
I want the best person for the job.
I don't want them to check a box and float some bimbo up in there just because it fulfills
some.
Well, the whole the whole.
I agree.
It's the whole administration is about checking boxes.
Absolutely.
Look at some of these appointments.
Look at the Kareem Jean Pierre.
She checks boxes.
How many times do they say she's the first black lesbian, whatever she is, speaker.
She just locks up and goes, we're done and walks away because she's just she's she's
not answering.
Hey, guys.
I would do if I were her.
Let me ask you a question.
She does.
She's not qualified for that.
I'll ask you a question.
Let me ask you a question.
Would you want that job?
Not work.
Oh, no.
Oh, my God.
Hell no.
Talk about I would never want to be the president.
Anybody that would want to be the president has to be mentally ill.
Just think about this.
The press secretary for Joe Biden.
Imagine.
Oh, talk about being set up for failure.
She gets paid 100 percent.
She gets paid one hundred eighty thousand dollars a year.
You think that's a make excuses.
One hundred eighty grand a year.
Well, she doesn't have to.
On that topic, they're already preconditioned on that topic.
Did you hear what Fauci makes or made right before?
He's the highest.
There's like three hundred thousand dollars or something like that.
OK.
But do you know what they were worth?
He and his wife were worth when he retired from the government.
I don't know.
Eleven million dollars.
Well, it's because on top of his government salary, which he is the highest paid
he was a government employee at that level.
On top of that, he was getting kickbacks from all the pharmaceutical companies.
I know.
I am certain he made more money.
He was pushing 11 million.
That's a lot.
I'm sure he has access.
I mean, he went from back in the 80s saying, hey, once you get the flu, you don't have
to get the flu shot.
You don't have to.
Because and then like, you know, let's get it.
It's the best vaccine that you can get.
And he goes, oh, no, we need all these boosters, even if you've had it.
I'm like, well, that contradicts what you said like 30 years ago.
I know.
But he'll say the science has evolved.
Well, that's because there's a paycheck behind that comment.
Right.
And every time he says mask or booster, he gets a fucking six figures.
A very minimum.
Although did you see that India is going through a new pandemic, that pandemic or just a breakout
of a different virus of the what virus?
It's the Nendi virus.
No.
And it's killing a bunch of folks and they're actually shutting down regions of India right
now.
Oh, shit.
And that's what happens when you shit everywhere and your three billion rivers are so extremely
polluted that there's like four inches of toxic foam on top of them.
And you daily have to listen to the radio and TV to find out if you can walk outside
because the air is so toxic that it can melt your fucking skin.
Well, that sounds exciting.
Let's go visit India.
Like, have you guys heard that?
Are you part of their tourism department?
No.
Well, not anymore.
After that comment, I'm sure I'm fired.
No, but like they do.
They have like like we have like, you know how we have like alerts on our cell phones
that say, hey, high UV, high pollution and Dallas and stuff like that.
Yeah, the same thing over there.
And except it's toxic, it's toxic air.
Like it's air.
They're like, don't go outside.
Close your windows.
You know, seal your doors.
Don't go out today.
Do you the river has like six inches of toxic industrial fucking chemical foam on top of
it.
Don't drink out of the river today.
Tomorrow's OK, but not today.
Yeah, it needs to go downstream to the next city or the next country.
You know what?
Bangladesh.
So they're not third world, but they are there.
I guess a lot of the part, a big area of the country, third world, they're developing,
they're developing, they're developing.
Do they just put something on the moon?
Yes.
Right.
India.
I know India.
OK, they have how awesome is they have a thing about a ton of smart people.
They know there's no like there is no denying there are some brilliant motherfuckers in India.
They put out some smartphone.
It's amazing what happens when you beat your children.
No, I'm just kidding.
Well, here's the thing about India.
Here's the thing about India.
You talk about a divide of poor and not classes.
Yeah, absolutely.
Classes, but not only that, not only that, but the people who are poor and not poor,
they obsess about education.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
They obsess about education.
Everybody gets like a master's.
Do one of my friends in Austin over in India, his dad, who's a surgeon, disowned his son
because the son wanted to go to film school.
He dropped out of medical school to go to film school.
They cut him off and disowned him.
Yeah, there you go.
Yeah.
So that's fucked up.
It's a very interesting scenario.
Right.
So you've got you got I don't want to say half.
I don't know what the percentage is, but you have this large part of the country that is
super educated, super driven, super ambitious, ambitious.
And then you have a massive part of the country that is incredibly poor and as third world
as you're going to get to like eating shit.
Second harvest.
Yes.
And it is mixed like this.
Like it is side by side.
People who go there are like, oh, wow, five star hotel.
Oh, wow.
And then you resort, oh, slum from hell.
Like next door.
Right.
Like no toilets, people shit on the street and sidewalks.
100 percent.
So that's crazy.
That is why they're able to put people on the moon or putting putting a drone or rover.
Yeah, exactly.
On the moon.
The smart are super smart.
They're well funded.
And they like dude, like the upper class of India, like extremely rich.
Oh, extremely rich.
Like, yeah.
Right.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
Anyway, so go ahead, Sean.
Well, I was going to bring up you were talking a little bit about food for a second.
There was a I saw a meme today on Instagram about a about a burger in Africa where they
take the carcasses of five hundred thousand mosquitoes and they basically they burger.
Yes.
Yeah.
I saw the video.
It was crazy.
The mosquito burger taste a little like fish, though the texture was similar to that of
a fish.
But because it's so thick, it is not cooked through.
The burger was cooked on the outside.
So it's so basically like in Africa, they have like they have a mosquito season like
everywhere else, except like their mosquito season is like they go outside with these
big hoops and they had to like nets and they just basically do like a figure eight through
the air and they try to collect as many mosquitoes as they can.
And then they put them in a bowl and they mash them down and they make a burger patty.
Yeah.
I'm saying high protein.
Yeah.
Extremely high protein pass pass.
Well, but do you cook them on these flat?
You have to eat malaria.
We do have stuff to eat.
And I you know, I know there's a there's a section of the elite who want us to move to
bugs.
Bugs.
We're one of the only countries that don't eat bugs.
I've had bugs.
I have to I eat some this weekend.
I went over to Bob and Pops candy store and they have a chocolate covered crickets.
Nope.
They had crickets that weren't chocolate covered.
So they had like salt and vinegar, barbecue flavors, sour cream and onion.
And first of all, it was like eight crickets for like four dollars and twenty five cents.
I used to get a way cheaper.
Like a hundred.
I get like a fucking a quarter pound bag in Juarez.
Anyways, but they're crunchy, right?
The crickets.
OK, I'm going to tell you right now.
Delicious.
Yeah, I've had crickets.
I've had crickets.
I've had grasshoppers.
If you could just get past it's like actual crickets.
If you get past the fact that you're eating a bug, you know, fucking they taste like you
ever you ever have like the chips in the bottom of your bag or they're like kind of like like
really salty and like crunchy.
That's how they are.
It's again, you're you're you're Japanese.
But they are delicious.
I'm telling you in Japanese movie theaters and still instead of selling popcorn, they
have crickets.
So you go up there and eat it in a heartbeat.
You talk about the crickets, like crickets, like crickets.
Yeah, I'm telling you, like they're delicious.
That's disgusting.
Well, what will you say is disgusting, but they dry them out.
You're not eating like you take the parasitic like stomachs out of them.
You dry them out and then they're just crunchy.
They taste like chips.
It's just a cure for popcorn.
Yeah, I have to get over that.
But I will tell you, so I was on my motorcycle ride this morning.
Oh, did you eat a few bugs?
And Journey was playing in my ear.
So you're in my ear pod.
I was singing.
So here I am.
Bugs were flying into my mouth.
Oh, your boyfriend's name is they weren't crickets.
They weren't caterpillar because I would have like probably wrecked the bike.
But it was like a caterpillar fly little.
Oh, did I say no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, grasshoppers, sorry.
Grasshoppers, grasshoppers, grasshoppers, our ass hoppers, dude, there are some big
ass grasshoppers out there.
It's a big locust.
Oh my God.
It's unbelievable.
When it was 106, okay,
and then it would cool off,
they would flock to the blacktop,
and I would follow my buddy,
and they would all be jumping, jumping, jumping,
jumping, jumping, and they're pelting me.
Pelting my legs, my chest, my face.
I'm just like, and they're like two inches.
Oh yeah, yeah.
And they hurt.
They hurt.
I know, I've been on a motorcycle
and I got hit by, I drove through some bees one time,
and it was not a pleasurable experience.
Yeah.
No, anyway.
I almost wrecked my bike.
Were you going 10 miles per hour?
No, I was on Montana in El Paso.
I was driving down to Waco Tanks.
No, I was on Montana Street going out to Waco Tanks.
And yeah, I flew through a small swarm of bees.
Oh my God, that'd be a nightmare.
It fucking hurt.
Like, it felt like I got hit by a bunch of paintballs.
Like, I almost pulled a wheelie on the motorcycle
and laid it down because it was so unexpected.
And then one of them was stuck in me ass, like right here.
It was ass first, still kind of alive, stuck in me.
And it was like, yeah, dude, it fucking sucked.
It's funny when they say, what's the first thing
that goes through a bug's mind when it hits the windshield?
It's ass.
Yeah.
I think that's hilarious.
I get that bug ass first.
And that bee fucking stuck his ass stinger right in me.
It was like stuck, it couldn't get out.
Yeah, well that was my closest bug eating experience.
I just wanted to share that.
Yeah, I'm gonna draw the line.
Protein's protein.
I'm gonna draw the line of mosquito patties.
Yeah, no, I'm not doing that.
Well, you know, I mean, if there is no food out there.
What if you smoke a mosquito patty?
Maybe sous vide it?
No, there is food.
You could put it in your pellet grill.
There's a sticker about a sous vide for a while.
We'll cross that bridge when the apocalypse comes
and we have to eat bugs.
And your guests, think about your guests.
They're like, oh, this is amazing, what is it?
Well, I'm glad you like it.
It's a mosquito smoked burger.
And yet we're okay with roadkill.
Right.
People eat that shit too.
Dude, a lot of people eat roadkill.
Upward, my mom's family comes from Michigan.
There are people that turn on their CB radios
to listen to police reports and be like,
I just hit a deer on the highway, blah, blah, blah.
And dude, there's like a race to get out there
to get that deer.
There are a lot of people out there that drink,
that will eat roadkill.
Yes.
Oh, I mean, if I, if I,
but think about it, if I hit a big deer.
Meats meat.
I mean.
You wanna beat your meat, what'd you say?
Meat is meat.
Well, when you hit a deer with a car,
do you traumatize that meat?
Traumatize, make it all.
I don't know, does it destroy it?
Yeah, make it all like.
I think it, I think what it is, exactly.
It depends on how fast that car hits them.
Cause if that deer is just like,
ah, the hills are alive with the sound of music.
What?
And then it's like ripped in half on the highway.
Yeah.
Not a lot of stress going into that meat.
Not a lot of adrenaline going into that meat.
I can hear the deer singing that too,
with Jeff's little quiver whenever he sings.
He's like, bouncy.
I forget.
That's vibrato.
You know, I think my dad told a story.
So my grandfather was a game warden, right?
So my father tells a story that when he would drive it along,
if somebody hit a pheasant,
like a pheasant on the side of the road,
oh yeah, he'd suck it up, take it home.
That dinner.
It's not uncommon.
There's the percentage of Americans that eat roadkill.
Producer, can you look this up for me?
I think it's a pretty large percentage.
I think it's like 20 plus percent of Americans.
I mean, rural Americans.
Rural American.
Roadkill.
40 million squirrels, 26 million cats,
22 million rats, 19 million opossums.
Oh gross. 50 million, it goes on.
Who's eating an opossum?
I'm not eating it.
Everybody in Georgia.
I believe that was from 1925.
They eat raccoons.
All I'm saying is, you know, meat is meat,
and if you don't have to spend money on a bullet
to eat your meat.
Hey, was there a new episode of Ahsoka coming out tonight?
Was that Tuesday?
Tonight. It is tonight.
I'm missing it to be here with you.
That's Shoka? I just want you to know that.
Ahsoka.
Ahsokatano.
Star Wars, Ahsokatano.
Oh. Apprentice of Anakin Vade,
and Vangin Star Wars.
Jesus Christ, I can't talk.
You guys got me on this whiskey.
Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker, America Skywalker.
Wouldn't that be great?
America Skywalker.
Well, whatever.
I got somebody I work with now that talks about,
like, whenever he visits his grandparents to this day,
they still eat like roadkill.
But you know what?
If you're used to doing it, it's not, I mean,
it's kind of like, I mean, it's like anything.
If you like eating the fish out of the ponds here,
or something like that.
I was gonna say, it's kind of like camping.
It's like hunting or camping.
Hunting or camping.
You're not spending money on the ammunition.
And think about it, with the price of,
with the inflation going on right now in America,
and the price of food and groceries in general,
I know it sounds silly, but you know, like,
do I spend like $20 on a steak, or like, holy shit,
look at that fucking possum dead on the side of the road.
I don't know about a possum.
Well, a lot of these people do.
They eat raccoon, they eat possum, they eat squirrel,
and all they do, they go up and they smell it.
And if it's a fresh kill, it's already gutted pretty much.
And so they just, they just pull the fur off, and then,
cook it.
Put it on a stick and eat it.
Pretty much.
Put it on a stick and eat it.
And most roadkill,
Like a s'more.
Most roadkill is cooked in stew.
Like a walrus bone.
Stews, with like, potatoes, carrots, whatever.
They cook it in stew.
It's not like they're putting it on a flat grub
and eating roadkill steaks.
I wonder if raccoon is gamey.
Ha ha ha.
I don't know.
I've eaten a lot of crazy shit
that I've never eaten possum.
Like imagine, imagine going to someone's house
and he's like just smoking and grilling
and he's just bringing out some stuff
and they're like, oh, what is this?
Yeah, hey, whoa, wow, look what the game's on right now.
I didn't.
You know what I mean?
And you're like, okay, well,
he didn't really answer the question,
but okay, I'll eat it.
And then you find out later, I ate raccoon,
I ate armadillo, I ate.
Rabbit.
And you know what?
Did it taste good?
If it was good.
Exactly.
It didn't make me sick.
I had no problem with it.
Yeah.
And it was a bowl of crickets.
Dude, I fucking love frog's legs.
People get so grossed out.
Frog's legs are delicious.
Yes.
And there are people who are just like, hell no.
Yeah.
I have some prepared right, then it's all good.
I mean, I love all kinds.
Hell, I won't even eat sour cream.
Ha ha ha.
I like rabbit as well.
You're much less.
Haas and Pfeffer.
It depends on how old the dig is.
God.
I mean, there's.
Is that freshly whacked?
I tell you what.
I would have to be in a dire situation,
but I guarantee if I was starving
out in some fucking desert somewhere,
I'm eating a lizard that I found on the fruit.
I wouldn't even have to be starving.
You know, it's funny.
When I first moved to El Paso,
and I heard about menudo, I was like, oh my God.
Menudo.
Like cow stomach, that's so awful.
And then I heard about like.
Barbacoa.
And then I heard about like, lengua.
And I was like, oh my God, that's disgusting.
And then you eat it.
Oh, it's delicious.
And you're like, oh my.
Hold on, Barbacoa.
Barbacoa.
Barbacoa is a steak.
It's the face.
Those are cheeks.
It's cheeks.
It's a cow.
It's the face of the cow.
I know, but they sell that.
That's like a regular thing.
Well.
Yeah, but some people don't like the idea.
Like a cheek and cow face.
Like it.
Some people don't like the idea in cow tongue.
That's at Chipotle.
Well, that's not beef.
No, I don't think.
Those aren't beef cheeks.
Lengua is at Chipotle.
I know when I was in Mexico City, they.
It is.
They call it Barbacoa.
That's steak. The Chipotle version is steak.
The cheeks that I had when I was down in Mexico City,
is they brought in.
His name is James?
Yes.
It's hot cheeks.
They brought in carnitas.
Ooh, that's good.
And he had different things.
And one of them was beef cheeks.
Beef cheeks.
And pork cheeks or whatever it was.
And he goes, what you do is you take some of this,
which is dry and you add the beef cheeks,
which is a lot of fat and juice, right?
And you.
There's a lot of fat.
And you mix it and you eat it.
It was absolutely delicious.
Yeah.
I bet.
Yeah.
It's sometimes you're better off not knowing.
I'm getting hungry having this conversation.
No.
Well, I got some chicken legs.
I cooked like 40, 30, 40 of them.
Where they, you get them off the road?
I.
Did you sous vide them?
I drove through a farm and just killed them all.
Oh, shoot.
Shoot.
Went through the chicken coop, huh?
Right through the coop.
Fucking I'm eating tonight.
That wasn't a fox, that was me.
I had one.
How'd you cook?
Get as many as you can.
I just put them in the oven.
Good Lord.
Did you lollipop them?
No, I didn't go through that.
That's a lot of work.
I moved on from lollipopping.
Yeah, I've done lollipopping too.
That was, lollipopping was good.
Chicken legs, when you trim them up
and push that meat down.
That's labor intensive.
It was.
It was very labor intensive.
So I'm having some memory problems,
but did we talk about the bourbon we're drinking?
We did not and I drank mine and I gotta say,
I enjoyed this way better than the first one.
Really?
I know why.
This one had a better flavor.
Because it's 92 proof.
That's probably why you enjoyed it.
Well, the flavor was different.
It didn't have a peppery flavor.
It was sweeter.
Of course not.
All right, Jeff.
We could add water to it.
All right, Jeff, what is it?
This is, well, we're huge fans of this.
This is standard Clyde Mays.
This is the standard Clyde Mays straight bourbon whiskey.
It's 92 proof, I believe.
And this is probably like our second or third bottle of this.
We need to buy another one,
because we just killed it.
And add it to the infinity bottle.
We did.
We added some to the infinity bottle.
Beautiful.
Yeah, we ordered it.
Actually, it was only two ounces, but it was still,
it was a good one.
But we got.
Did you guys know the story about Clyde Mays?
I don't think so.
Well, the Clyde Mays was.
It was made in Clyde and May.
He was a moonshiner by trade, but a craftsman by heart.
He made his famous whiskey in a hand-built copper still
with fresh Alabama spring water
and the finest local ingredients.
The man was locked up for his passion,
because during the.
Prohibition. Prohibition.
In eight months in the federal penitentiary,
yet he started up those copper stills the day he got out.
And this is the product he started,
because by that point, the laws had changed.
Yeah.
And he just, and he's been continuing on.
I don't know if he's still alive.
I don't.
Most likely not.
It feels like during the prohibition in jail.
That was over a hundred years ago.
Yeah, he.
He would be a hundred and forty one, I think.
And he died of AIDS.
The straight bourbon honors Clyde Mays.
There he goes, honors.
Clyde Mays' dedication to the craft.
We can, we use simple ingredients as a,
in a patient aging process to produce a fine,
easy drinking spirit.
And it actually is very easy.
Very easy.
And it's very tasteful.
It is. It's got a lot.
It's got a lot of flavor.
And we've got, I think it's a little contrary
to what we say about, you know,
we don't want to touch anything 90 proof or whatever,
but there's still some thinness to it, I think.
It's great.
But the flavor is, it's very drinkable.
I can sit here and just drink a big old glass of this.
Well, let me ask you a question,
because you just made a comment.
So you said you normally don't drink
anything around 90 proof.
No.
We're becoming snobs.
And some of that.
Okay.
Did somebody take a shit?
So no 80 proof?
Thank you, Sean.
So no 80 proof.
Sean's making that look.
Well, I farted, but you know, yeah.
Is that what you're saying?
I meant take a shit.
That's what I meant.
Well, that would be Jeff.
No, that was not me.
Well, I've lived with him for 48 years,
or I've known him for 48 years.
And it hasn't wafted this direction.
Can we make a new rule
that there's no shitting in the podcast room?
Especially when the door is closed to the room.
Mr. Producer, can you please get up
and open that door for us?
No, let's just keep it closed.
Let me, do we have to make that rule?
I thought it would be kind of an understanding
of a humanity rule.
All right, so the thing about.
I'm starting to taste it now.
Whatever, come on.
Did someone just shit themselves?
Is that what you said?
So Clyde Mays is.
So oaky.
It's actually easier to drink.
So look, the thing about Clyde Mays
is that we've had this topic come up before.
Mr. Producer, there's a noise going on sometimes.
So there's a.
Blung.
Every now and then.
Blung, blung.
The people come up to us and say,
well, what kind of bourbon would you suggest that we drank?
You know, and I'm like,
ah, well, you know, it depends on
how much money you wanna spend.
And I tell you, I would add Clyde Mays.
All of them.
To the list to them.
I said, look, if you have 40 bucks,
then let's jump on the Clyde Mays bandwagon
because it's an absolute solid bourbon.
It's not super strong.
It's already watered down.
But all of them.
All of them.
The whole family of them.
We haven't tried one yet that we didn't love.
We have.
Go up to all their bourbons, Mr. Producer.
We have.
The Alabama one's amazing.
Yeah, the Alabama whiskey is really good.
We like the red label and the black label.
We've got that, which is tasty.
Damn, that looks, yeah, that's Alabama style.
That's a great one.
We have that one, which is 110 proof.
You guys are killing me.
I know it.
We have that one.
Yep.
The black label, 13 years.
Which is really good, yeah.
Guys, you can't go wrong with Clyde Mays, period.
No.
We do not have that.
My first experience with it, I'm loving it.
And I'm not even a bourbon drinker.
That was interesting.
That was a green label.
That was a green label rye.
Rye whiskey.
So go back to that, the green label.
Because it's becoming a little more crystallized
in my mind.
Straight, why whiskey?
Notice there's no bourbon, which means it's not 51% corn.
It's probably, it's more than 50% rye.
So anyway, that's interesting.
You know why that's confusing?
It's because the normal mash bill of a bourbon is rye.
But at a smaller percentage.
Correct.
If you're 20%, that's considered a high rye, right?
Correct, correct.
But you see the confusing thing about that.
People are like, a rye whiskey, a rye bourbon,
a rye this, a rye that.
You have a rye bourbon, you have a weeded bourbon.
Yes.
And you have a four-grain bourbon.
Which is all, right, which is barley, corn, rye, and wheat.
I'm so useless in this conversation.
No, but this is, it's very confusing
because there are high rye bourbons, right?
We just tried one earlier today.
Earlier today, right?
That was, pin hook was a high rye bourbon.
Correct.
Right, meaning it's still 51% corn,
but it's got a percentage of rye that's higher than normal,
that's higher than typical.
Right.
But remember, a straight Kentucky bourbon is usually,
it's always actually rye.
It's barley, rye, and corn.
Correct.
Right?
And then when they substitute wheat for rye,
now you have a weeded bourbon.
Makes it a little bit more smooth on the palate for some folk.
Actually, the wheat.
The wheat, you mean?
The wheat is, yes, absolutely.
In fact, that's what Bob Pallett,
does that have his name?
Pettit.
Pettit, from the 1845 distillery said,
is that most folk that enjoy bourbons
as far as newbies, their palates enjoy weeded bourbons
because it's easier on it.
And it's like the more refined bourbons
are folk that have been tasting it for a while.
It's sweeter.
And they can handle the rye
because it's kind of like, just like anything.
You become a little bit more tolerant of it
and you start to pick up different notes.
And Ryan, you're falling in suit of exactly that.
You know, you're picking up something that you like.
It's a,
I'm telling you, I enjoy it.
I enjoyed this.
It's really, really good.
Well, you know, I think the first time I was on the podcast,
I had the Buffalo Trace
and that was, I enjoyed that one.
That was really sweet.
It's a good one.
Yeah, it's a good one.
There's a lot of vanilla in there.
Really, really sweet.
And I like, again, I know you guys are like more educated
when it comes to like bourbon and whiskeys
than I am in this.
Oh, look at me. You like the first one.
But I did like this Clyde's Maid.
This is very enjoyable.
I'm a student in a small yay.
Yeah, I know.
You can't go wrong.
Me and Caveman, me like drink.
Yeah.
Yeah, can't go wrong with the Clyde Maid family
of bourbons and whiskeys.
All right, all right.
So let's move on to something else.
Well, I'll tell you what,
we got, I got to talk about an event
that's coming up this weekend in downtown McKinney, Texas.
They've got the Oktoberfest, which is-
Was that this weekend?
Really?
Yes, it is.
Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
September 22nd, 23rd, 24th.
And I have nothing to do this weekend.
Oh.
You should come down.
I do now.
So folks out there, it's got free admission.
Friday, it's from five to 11 p.m.
Saturday, I will be out at Filtered Coffee Shop.
I heard that place is awesome.
It is awesome.
I heard it's mismanaged.
Yeah.
Fuck that guy who told you that.
Yeah.
So I'll be out at Filtered downtown McKinney, Texas,
and I will be wearing my Liederhosen,
and I'll be serving beer at our beer garden.
Is that your tactical skirt?
No, it's-
How does your Liederhosen fit?
It fits swimmingly well.
Last year, it was rather loose.
This year, it fits perfect.
It made my balls hot.
Oh, good.
So you grew into it.
Oh, yes.
I absolutely grew into it.
I'm not proud to say it,
but put your Liederhosen on,
and join us for a full weekend of German-themed fun
in historic downtown McKinney.
That would be so much fun.
I'm enjoying it.
I have nothing to do this weekend.
I've enjoyed the tradition of authentic German food,
domestic and imported beers, live music, games,
and much, much more.
Okay, so I have a question.
Okay.
There's a stage right outside Filtered again, right?
Yeah.
Yes.
I have no idea the lineup.
And if they have-
Can you not control that?
You know what?
No.
Hold on, why are you asking?
They had a jazz band last year.
Because last year, they had an acapella fucking jazz band.
Like, boom, boom, boom, dah, dah, boom, boom, dah, dah, dah,
dah, dah, dah, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Yes.
That was the total boys demand moment.
I loved it.
Yeah, how is that jazz?
That's not jazz.
But I'm just saying, it was completely
un-Germane to octoplasm.
It wasn't like, it wasn't polka.
No, it was not.
It was like, it was like fusion jazz.
I don't wanna, you can have her, she's too fat for me.
Oh my God.
That just happened.
Dad used to sing that to mom, remember?
Oh.
Shit just got weird.
At the exact same time, we pulled out the
she's too fat for me polka.
She's too fat for me.
Okay, we should end the podcast right now.
Well, get ready for the upcoming
of the Weekend October Fets Exciting News.
Again, it continues to be ticketless.
So look, seriously guys, I'll be out there
in my little closet, right?
I'm gonna let you know right now,
if you do stop by Filtered, I know it's not in the
German tradition of October Fest,
but we do have a rare treat of having some,
we have a Caribbean cook that will be cooking
some Caribbean cuisine all weekend long.
Little German.
And we'll be serving that out the second service window.
It's gonna be awesome.
Her name is CJ, CJ's Kitchen.
Oh, the second one, so that'll be right there.
Oh yeah, right there.
She'll be serving right through me.
Well, actually I think I'm gonna have you
on the other side.
Through you?
Yeah, I'm gonna have you on the bar window side.
We're gonna have to figure that out.
Yeah, but her food is super, super delicious.
Is it tacos?
She does everything, she's got something called
Rasta Pasta with chicken curry meatballs.
She has like a, she does like a oxtail.
Dude, like if you've never had like
Caribbean style oxtail in teriyaki.
I have.
Oh my God.
I've had Cuban oxtail.
Dude, it was so delicious.
I gnawed a cartilage off the fucking bone, it was so good.
She does like shrimp tacos, shredded beef tacos.
She's very, very, very delicious.
So is this the same type of deal where you can like
bring your own cooler with your own drinks
and you can walk around with your own?
Well, McKinney is an open container area
where you can literally purchase an alcoholic beverage
from one place and just walk up and down the street
the way that Sixth Street in Austin used to be.
But you can't bring your cooler and make your own drinks.
No, you can't.
No.
Well, hold on, you're talking about bourbon?
Well, I mean, we do technically have a B-O-B.
No, hold on, hold on.
B-Y-O-B.
So outside in the alley, I think you can,
you can walk around with a bourbon coat.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah, yeah.
So yes, the answer is yes, you can bring your own cooler,
you can put a little bottle of.
But I'm trying to get Sean to shut the fuck up
so that he could buy liquor from us.
Oh.
Oh, I'm not drinking one of them.
Buy beer from us.
You don't have bourbon.
I'm drinking.
No, we don't, we don't have liquor at all.
There you go.
No, we have delicious beer and wine.
The Ofghets musicians are classically trained professionals
of some advanced degrees who have been playing,
whatever, for 20 years.
We love making them smile.
This is the Ofghets.
There's some happy looking.
Look at that guy in the corner, that old dude right there.
That is a happy, disturbed looking guy.
Very disturbed.
He's like, hey.
I'm a little closer, let me walk towards the showers.
That guy in the bottom looks like he just
smoked a bunch of crack, look at his eyes.
So the Oktoberfest downtown, McKinney,
I keep beating this up, but just join us down there.
I'll be out there Saturday all day serving beers
out in front of Filtered.
I'll have my official leader hose on.
Jeff will be showing up at some point.
We don't know how long.
I'll be there.
And Paul, eventually we'll get out there.
Oh no, I'm gonna be there.
I'm excited.
So Ryan's gonna be, I'm excited because for us,
it's dudes like us outing,
and we get to have a little bit of fun.
I don't plan on really drinking a whole lot
until the end of the day, but you know,
I'm looking forward to it.
They got all kinds of music here.
You were three bottles of tequila in
by the time I got there last week.
Yeah, Jeff, write that down.
I'm not planning on drinking all that much.
I just want that noted for the record.
I meant before six.
With a Google calendar, that shit.
Right, right.
But anyways, Oktoberfest downtown McKinney.
So what else we got going on?
We have like tons of information,
or tons of topics we're gonna talk about.
Well, you know, briefly, I don't know if we,
did we talk about this in the first task?
The whole Lauren Boebert thing.
I was just reading some news.
Oh, the manhandling in the movies.
Yeah, so there's some new theories out there
that that thing, whole thing was a setup
to kind of, because there's some footage of her
walking with this guy after the fact.
A setup from what side?
Well, apparently the guy was a Democrat,
and she's like, I need to.
Expand her vaginal horizons.
Correct, or whatever, something like that, right?
But there's new footage of her like she's drunk, right?
So he drugged her.
Well, I don't know if he drugged her.
Drunk enough to fuck a Democrat.
Wow.
But the new theories floating around now
is this was a setup to get this kind of footage from her.
Meaning to slander her and bring her down.
Oh, the left hates her.
That's pretty great, man.
They hate her.
So we'll see if that goes anywhere.
Again, I just read that.
I don't know the validity of that,
but that's kind of a new theory.
If that is even true, man.
You think that'll ruin his career or her career?
Well, no one knows who he is.
It's not a matter of ruining,
it's what a shitty conniving, calculated.
100%, I was trying to get you to.
So we didn't talk about exactly what happened.
She went to Beetlejuice.
She went to a movie musical.
Got felt up.
Giggled up by her boyfriend.
Well, hold on, hold on.
They videotaped it.
I didn't even know about any of that until tonight.
What I did know is that people were complaining,
people were complaining about how much noise she was making
and she became disruptive.
And then multiple times people complained
and the people that worked there
had to come down and talk to her.
He found her spot.
Anyway.
Gee.
I didn't hear about any of that.
I heard 100% that she was kicked out of there.
Oh, it's okay for her.
It's okay.
What are you saying?
She can't be allowed in a movie theater?
Well, I mean, generally when you're at a play.
Well, because we know she was like jerking him off.
You'd be like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, don't you sound like?
Is that?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Wow.
Well, for one thing, this was not a movie theater
and there's different rules when you're at a play.
This was at a musical.
Oh, yeah.
Do they have a dress code there?
Can Fetterman show up?
You can be naked.
It's just typically the nude Beetlejuice.
So we'll see.
We'll see where this goes and if it was a setup.
I don't know.
Again, I don't know, but that's kind of the theory.
You know the sad thing is realistically,
we're all joking around,
but here's the realistic thing about it.
We really don't fucking know.
The way that politics and media and propaganda works,
we really have no fucking clue if this was something
that was engineered for whatever reasons.
The whole night.
Or if it was on the fly.
The whole night vision camera thing
could be totally artificially intelligent.
Well, what gets me is that night vision camera
seemed to be on her.
Right, which means it was a setup.
Right.
Did he have a pinky ring?
Which means he was in on it.
It was German.
Think about it.
Which means he was in on it.
Correct.
And then he was very aggressively groping her.
Oh yeah, he was hardcore groping his boobs, big time.
And clearly she didn't mind.
To me, that's the setup.
She didn't.
If we were sitting there and some attractive woman
was all of a sudden started feeling your junk up,
we'd be like, oh no, you can't do that.
Oh no.
Stop.
Okay.
She says it the best.
You missed it.
You missed it, Sean.
That was another why we don't have video moment.
That's, yeah, Bill Burr.
It was awful.
Until you read it in court.
No, she said stop, no, stop.
No.
That's not how she fucking said it.
I love Bill Burr.
Don't stop.
What were we gonna talk about, AOC being booed down?
Oh yeah, she was in New York City.
Well first of all, shout out to all the buses that are heading
to all the blue cities with all these folks
coming up from the south.
Yeah, now they know how the border towns feel.
They sit there and literally,
and this is how I feel about that,
is like when you live in the northern half of America.
It's not your problem.
No, it's not your problem.
It's just like, oh, I don't care about,
who cares about the migrants coming down?
And then you sit there and you give them a fraction
of what our border towns and cities and states
are going through, and you give them a fraction of that,
and they lose their fucking minds.
And they're like, we can't deal with this.
Really, because you think that it's okay for us
to be dealing with it,
and you have a fraction of what we're dealing with.
And what's crazy is they're calling state of emergency,
and they're calling up the National Guard.
We need more money.
They're calling up the National Guard.
So what is happening in the southern states
to where we're not hearing about state of emergency
and National Guard?
How are they handling it?
They're shipped off to Epstein Island.
Well, I sent a story today,
and we've talked about this, right?
There is a place down outside of Houston called the Colony.
Oh, yeah, where they did the shooting, the murders.
Well, that happened there,
but it's housing 50 to 70,000 illegal immigrants.
It's basically a city.
Which is what comes across the border
in one day from Texas.
So there's a developer
who is building this housing development,
this whole neighborhood, almost a city,
down there outside of Houston in the country land, right?
So he's building this neighborhood,
and the illegals are living there.
Right.
But to your point-
50 to 70,000 of them.
But to your point, Brian,
I mean, it's still- And the cartels control it.
It's a drop in the bucket fraction
of what they're getting.
So New York-
What they're getting is a fraction of what we get.
New York is freaking out.
Chicago's freaking out of just a couple,
I don't know how many- Like losing it.
Dozens of buses.
I don't know how many people we're talking about,
but where are all these people going,
and how are they not creating a humanitarian catastrophe
wherever they go?
And it's amazing how fast some of these people
are just like, we should just let them all in unvetted.
Let them all in.
We'll support them.
We'll give them places to live.
I get it.
And then we send them to their towns,
and they're like, holy shit,
why are you sending them up here?
We were saying you should stay down there,
or you're not our problem.
Well, Biden is trying to pass the law that says,
if you come across a border, you have to stay in Texas.
That's what he's trying to pass.
Oh yeah.
And Greg Abbott's like,
yeah, no, you can eff yourself.
Fuck that and fuck him.
And they want an ankle bracelet.
All fists.
So they contract them to say,
you need to stay in Texas until you're-
Or what?
And I want to make it clear,
I'm not against immigrants coming in.
My wife is Hispanic.
My wife's father got his citizenship.
He lived in Mexico and became a United States citizen
by joining the United States military back in the 70s.
Beautiful, love it, love it, love it, love it.
My mother-in-law waited for my father-in-law
to get out of the army after he did his term
and brought her over and married her.
She's from Juarez, Mexico.
And that's my in-laws.
So I'm not against Hispanics.
I'm not against immigration of any kind,
but there has to be something done
about a vetted immigration policy.
Legal, like you're correct.
Where you come across through legal portals.
Right.
And when you bring in mass exodus
from one country into another, you cannot handle that.
You can't handle that on a financial status.
There were motherfuckers on a train
on a video this morning on the news.
I saw that.
A train, where you have-
Train.
2,000 people.
That's, I mean-
It's fucking insane.
It's out of control in-
I don't understand.
You know what?
What the fuck?
Everybody knows it's happening, and why can't we stop it?
I don't understand.
Why does Biden have the power to say no?
It's so frustrating.
Well, didn't Biden, I know he told Arizona
to say you need to remove those containers.
Right.
Did he also do the same thing to Abbott's-
River things?
Boos.
I think he did.
They're trying to, yeah.
They're trying to.
I think either he did or he's trying to say,
you can't do that, for whatever reason.
So why can't, okay,
given that we are no longer a nation of laws,
why can't Abbott say, fuck you, I'm not removing it,
and send the federal people down,
and I will put my state troopers on the,
I mean, let's go to fucking war.
Well, let's take it back to the 90s-
I mean, what the fuck is going on here?
When Mr. Bill Clinton said- 1845.
We are a nation of immigrants,
but we are also a nation of laws.
I know, but we aren't now.
And somehow, that has been thrown out the fucking window.
We aren't now.
So why can't the states stand up to the federal government?
And I mean, I mean like-
Because the federal government is more Democrat
than it is Republican and Republicans-
And I'm talking about putting people on the ground.
And the state power and Democrats are more for federal-
But I'm talking about putting people on the ground
to challenge the federal officers
or whoever the fuck's standing there to say, do it.
Kind of like they, like, for example-
It's time to do this.
To provide support, what you're saying, Paul,
the people in California, they're grown pot, okay?
Right.
The federal government came in and they were like,
you can't do that.
And California was like, fuck you.
Right.
We're our own state, you can go fuck yourself.
We're gonna sell pot all we want.
Right.
And they came in and they did some shenanigans
and signed some of these dispensaries.
And then about a couple months later, they were like,
yeah, you don't have any authority here.
Get the fuck out of here.
That's what I'm talking about.
Well, it's because there's only two republics in America.
California and Texas.
Well, it doesn't matter.
Well, republics are the only ones that can legally secede.
Well, but-
Any state- Not saying-
Any state can put up a fight against the federal government.
But that's what I'm saying.
When you have the, like, you have California that has the,
they have the, as far as the West Coast goes,
they are the import state for all goods coming in from-
Correct.
Yeah, you're talking about trade.
All the ports of harbor that go all up and down
the West Coast-
Meaning they have cloud.
90% of them are in California.
They have cloud.
Exactly.
Up until like a few years ago,
California was the richest state in the United States,
where they legally could have seceded
from the United States of America.
But of course you have people like Newsome.
They're sucking too much on the government teat
to be able to separate themselves.
Dude, they-
Well, not only that, they're a bankrupt state.
They're taxing their businesses there
to the point where they had the exodus
and everybody came to Texas.
And so now they don't have that cloud anymore.
Yeah, but their debt is absolutely astronomical.
California's debt is astronomical.
Which is why they continue to raise taxes.
That's what I'm saying.
I would say they're probably the poorest state in the nation.
Well, now they are.
I wouldn't say the poorest,
but what I'm saying is before they had both tax money
and they had import money coming in from ports.
And now, and you have all the big corporations
of businesses that were located out there.
Now, because of over taxation of those businesses,
those businesses, the majority of them fled that state.
And so now all they have is their import shit.
Yeah, their tax revenue is plummeting.
Oh, dude, it's insane how far they've gone down.
It's gonna continue to go down as well
because of the shit they continue to pass.
And look at the lawlessness out there
and the amount of just bullshit that happens.
And we talked earlier about how the elites,
the Hollywoods, not just them, but they're exiting.
Leaving in droves.
Exiting California because,
I mean, even though they voted for that shit probably,
well, we don't know,
but they don't wanna raise their families in that.
They don't wanna live in that anymore.
Everybody wants to be the good guy
until they walk outside with their family
to take their kids to school.
And there's a flock of homeless people smoking.
So I'm gonna do a Jags and create something that,
attacking them and breaking them apart.
In Germany, for example, there's this video
this young girl put on, a YouTube video,
this is like five, six years ago, maybe even longer,
where there were a bunch of,
there were Muslims, but whatever, that doesn't matter.
So this is in Germany.
So immigrants are coming in,
she's going down to the corner store
and they're hooting and hollering saying,
where's your, they have a specific word for your guardian
or why are you walking out alone
without being accompanied by a man?
That is Sharia law.
So they're giving her a hard time about that.
Look, I'm not saying that's happening here.
I mean, they're trying to make it happen here.
They're trying to pass Sharia law here,
but the people coming over the border now
are Chinese nationalists.
I mean, they're-
Oh, they're, yes.
They're everything. They're everything.
Yes. Everything.
We have people coming up that are wanted terrorists
on the terrorist watch group.
I mean, how-
It's insane.
Even if they're not on the list.
What the fuck?
Yes. What the fuck?
And even though President Obama was like,
we can't have people coming up into our country unchecked.
You know what's crazy is I saw this clip on,
I know it's stupid to say, but like on YouTube,
where even like the chick, one of the chicks on The View,
which I can't stand that fucking toxic show,
even when the chicks on The View was just like,
hey, like this shit's getting out of hand
when it comes to like, you know,
she was referring to like when she lived in Florida
and all the Cubans were coming over into Miami.
And she was like, it was only back then like 100-
Sarah Haines.
Yeah, a hundred thousand people.
And it created an incredible issue for the state of Florida,
let alone the citizens of Miami.
And we have a hundred times that amount coming in
all throughout the Southern border.
And now we're just like, well, what the shit?
You know, like, what are we gonna do now?
So, okay, so let's,
I know this is a fruitless maybe effort, but okay.
So the people that are controlling the border right now
is the border security, right?
The border patrol.
The border patrol, yes.
And that is a federal agency.
Correct. Correct.
So they're federal agencies.
So there's our problem.
There's our problem.
So Texas, Arizona, California, New Mexico,
they're helpless because the people owning, controlling,
you know, patrolling the border is all a federal agency.
So it's not like, it's not like-
Yeah, they're not doing the job.
They're not staffing it correctly.
I know, but- They're not putting the wall up.
And as somebody who lived on the border,
I can tell you a lot of those federal agents
feel the same way.
A lot of those border patrol,
they know they're understaffed, they're overworked,
they're under so much pressure,
and it's not fair to them either.
Completely not.
And they're committing suicide.
Oh, they're not bad people.
No, they're not bad people.
They want the right thing.
They want the right thing for their country.
So, but I'm just thinking, what can Abbott do?
What can Abbott do?
So Abbott can't call up like a, you know,
Texas National Guard or militia,
and go down to the border
and tell the border patrol to stand down,
and that we're taking, that Texas is taking over
its own, the patrolling of its own border.
Because the federal government-
Maybe we shouldn't.
Maybe we should.
Because the federal government,
that's their responsibility.
So what would happen if-
What would happen if-
It's a border control, so it is a federal, yes.
It's a federally controlled border.
It's not a state controlled border.
But having a little backup from militia wouldn't help.
But the federal government isn't doing it.
It's not doing it.
Well, there's a lot of backup from militias.
It's so frustrating.
I'm saying it, I said it wouldn't help,
but I meant to say it wouldn't be a bad idea.
Yeah.
But it'd be unprecedented.
There's things that-
It's growing animosity.
It is, there is, there is.
Especially like, again, with the whole ATF thing
and stuff like that, they're just like, you know,
what's going on?
There is a, who the hell are they to provide
this authority where they're starting to lay law?
They don't have the authority to create law,
but yet they are.
They live here, you don't even visit here.
Right.
Like they won't even visit here.
They're getting their intel from like one or two people
per city, per office.
Right.
And that information's getting back to them.
And yet they're still trying to make policies
to regulate us here.
And that's an issue.
How can you make policy to regulate something
that you have no idea what's really going on
outside of a fucking report?
And they're unelected.
Well, don't even get me started.
We didn't even get on the whole, like.
Wow, we got angry.
We finished angry.
No, no, no, no, no.
You know, it's a self-realization.
I love everybody.
It's a self-realization of what's going on in life.
And currently right now, things are chaotic as hell.
They are.
They're chaotic as hell.
And I don't know if it's because the older
that we're getting, you start to sense it,
you start to realize it, or is it just really
getting out of hell?
H has a lot to do with it, and it's very chaotic right now.
And you know what else it is?
It's, I hate this feeling of helplessness.
Yes.
There's nothing more frustrating than knowing what's going on,
and you're helpless to do anything.
Yeah, these January 6 posts that are sitting in the jail.
Because somebody's putting money in somebody's pocket.
Yeah.
Oh my god.
God bless.
I did not want to talk about all this stuff here.
We had a great night.
This weekend's going to be great, too.
It's going to be a great weekend.
Lovely.
And we're going to report on it.
Yes, we are going to do a live shot, maybe.
A little video, perhaps, we'll post on our Instagram,
the Facebook page for Dudes Like Us,
and Instagram Dudes Like Us.
There you go.
Let's do that.
We do a little, maybe we'll do a little live Instagram.
We are on Spotify.
Nice.
We're on iTunes.
We are on all kinds of crap for Dudes Like Us.
Got to check us out.
It's September 19th.
It is late at night.
Right now, we have a couple of setbacks here.
But we're seasoned as hell.
We have a special guest.
Thank you.
We've got our producer here, Mr. Austin.
Dudes Like Us, wrapping it up here.
I'm Sean.
I'm Pablo.
I am Jeff.
And I'm Ryan.
And thanks for watching and we hope to see you here soon.
