Oh yeah, it's the post show.
DudesLikeUs.us double, double, double the flavor every single Tuesday for the podcast for DudesLikeUs.us.
Double the pleasure.
Double mellowed.
Pleasure?
Double mellowed.
Like Jack Gamer's Gentlemen Jack, it's double mellowed Tennessee whiskey.
So what does that mean to you Sean?
When they say double mellowed, what does that mean to you?
I'm just thinking it's like, it's like whatever you're doing that helps you chill.
It's going to do it twice the amount.
It's fortified.
You know?
Fortified.
Shut up.
Like Kellogg's cereal.
Okay, I was there.
I know what double mellowed means.
At Kellogg's?
At Kellogg's.
So you know what the double mellowed is?
I know exactly what it is.
I was there.
I went to the Distillery in Lynchburg.
You went there.
I was there.
I got the VIP tour.
So you were there in June.
Ten years ago.
So you owned Jack Daniels.
So mellowed is...
Watered down.
No.
After they go through the distillery process, right?
And they drip it.
This is before, it's obviously...
16 feet?
No.
It's huge.
There's this gigantic...
Is that a...
Can I?
Are you guys ready?
I'm still stuck on the drip part.
I'm still thinking it's some sort of 16 foot drip.
They have this gigantic drip.
I'm still thinking it's a 16 foot drip.
Like a faucet?
They have this gigantic vat of...
And his name is Hans.
Char-cold.
Hans and Fawd?
Char-cold wood.
Right?
Char-cold wood.
In this gigantic vat.
And they drip.
They drip the distilled, no color, right?
Drip the distilled bourbon into that.
And then at the bottom, they collect it.
And then the Jack Daniels, regular Jack Daniels, off it goes.
So what did the...
The gentlemen Jack goes back and do that twice.
Double mellowed.
So first round, Jack Daniels.
Second round, gentlemen Jack.
That's correct.
I mean, it's crazy.
And it is literally a drip.
It drips into this thing.
And at the bottom, it is dripping.
So I wonder how long it takes to saturate that wood so it makes it all the way down.
All the way down.
So it drips to the bottom.
Because that wood would have to be saturated, I think.
And it had to be a big piece of wood.
Because imagine a spire that would have that much infusion.
I timed it.
It was 41 minutes.
Sawdust.
It's like a big tea bag in there.
And they show the whole process where they stack up the wood.
Do they steep it?
Steep?
Is that what you call it when you build a...
That's when you make tea.
You steep tea.
No.
Do you steep bourbon?
They make this gigantic stack of wood.
And I think it's something, maple something.
It's like a cord of wood?
And they burn it.
And then they take those chips and then they fill the vat with it.
And that's what they drip the jackangels into it.
So it's like chip wood.
Chip wood.
Like particle board.
They have a bunch of particle board.
It is particle board.
And glue.
That's why this is like a really cheap bourbon.
What is wrong with you guys?
You're supposed to respect the process.
Is it the wafer board they use?
You guys are mocking the process.
We're just asking questions.
Actually, it's an interesting thing.
You're jealous that I was there and you weren't.
I'm kind of hung up on this.
So it's double mellowed.
So the first mellow is Jack Daniels.
The second mellow is the gentleman's jack.
So that is sincerely the way they do it.
That's it.
Does Jack Daniels say single mellowed?
So they don't put it in a barrel?
They don't call that out?
It's before the barrel.
It hasn't been aged.
So there's no char in the barrel.
Oh yeah, there is.
Okay, so they have a char of a piece of wood that they drip on.
There's MDF char.
A gigantic vat of it, yes.
Okay.
So it drips on a charred piece of wood.
Yes.
Okay.
So help me through this process.
Charcoal mellowing.
There we go.
They're showing it.
It drips on the charred.
So they're like charcoal briquettes.
Yes, and it works its way all the way to the bottom.
So it's kind of like, you can grill on that.
So you can like, if you're a little on fire,
you can like grill a steak.
They're showing it.
So what level of char is it, like a number two?
No, it's the alligator.
No, they do not have it.
It's not the alligator.
I thought it was the barrel themselves.
Yeah, what number of char is it?
I don't know.
I didn't ask them that.
Because you know what?
We went through this last week.
I know that, but I wasn't educated.
Twice, because you weren't listening.
I wasn't educated.
The Kingsford briquettes.
Yeah, I know.
I caught that too.
I went back and listened, and I said the same thing again,
but when I said it, it seemed to have more authority.
No, that's what it was.
Did you guys catch that?
No.
Oh, okay.
Never mind.
I'll say dicks.
Anyway.
Charcoal mellowing.
I haven't even tasted it.
Have you guys?
Yes.
I'm halfway done.
Well, is this the first time you've ever tried it?
General Jack, yeah.
Oh, not me.
I've had fats on it.
Come on, man.
What?
Are you French?
This is exquisite.
So it's got to be double mellowed.
Double mellowed.
It's got to be double mellowed.
I don't get it.
I don't get the double mellowed part.
So you got to try.
What if they triple mellowed it?
It would be.
It would be Madame Jack.
It would be Henry McKenna.
Right.
No, it would be Strontium.
It would be Captain Morgan.
Strontium.
It always makes a visit.
You know what?
I listened to the podcast where I heard Strontium for the first time.
And you're like what?
And every time you say it.
It's an alkaline metal.
Every single time you say it, Sean is skeptical that it is a real thing.
I know.
Every time.
Like we've gone through this three times.
And all three times he's like, what is that?
It's not real.
And I think we looked it up last time.
We did.
He's like, that's a real thing.
And I'm like, period, a cable.
Yeah, every time.
Look at all those electrons.
This might be the same diagram we look at every time.
So how many photons does it have?
It has photons or protons?
It has electrons.
Did I say photons?
Yeah, you did.
Isn't that like Star Trek?
Protons.
Star Trek.
No, it's got 38 protons and 50 neutrons.
Yes.
That is true.
It says right there with the P and the N.
What's its melting point?
Well, I said photons.
Wow, that melting point.
I don't believe it has any photons.
I'm so stupid.
How hot is it?
What a freaking moron.
Who says that?
How hot is 1042 Kelvin?
That's really hot.
You think my stove will get that hot?
No.
Your egg does.
No.
1042.
Why are we talking about Kelvin?
1400, because that's its melting point.
Really?
That's gonna be fucking hot.
So in other words, you can't melt it?
No, you can melt it.
Does your oven get that hot?
Can you melt it?
My fucking egg got up to like...
1400 degrees?
It was ridiculous.
Look, seriously, it went around twice.
Okay, it's 1000 degree.
Hold on, is it 1000?
It's about 750 degrees, right?
It doesn't go around twice.
Well, it does when you go to the store and don't monitor it.
I came back and it was around...
I can promise you the outside of your egg would melt before it melts strontium.
No, listen, hear me this.
Well, that may be true, but when Jeff was over at the house, you saw it.
He got blasted in the face.
He would fly across the room.
I did.
You opened up the egg.
He didn't belch it.
I didn't belch it because I didn't think it was thermonuclear.
So the thing is that...
Describe belching for us.
Hold on.
Sean does it like 10 times per show.
The thermometer that sticks through the egg, it went around all the way past zero.
Again, it went back up to 200 degrees.
And I was like, what the hell is wrong with this thermostat?
It's only 200 degrees.
That's bullshit.
And so I rip open the grill, the egg top, and you're supposed to burp it, which means you barely open it up.
Just enough to kind of like...
I thought maybe there was some sort of thing you pulled and bent it or something.
No, it's something similar.
It's kind of like opening up a soda pop slow.
I was going to be impressed, but I'm not now.
So anyways, I didn't burp it.
And I just...
I opened up the lid and...
And shriveled your chest hair.
This Voselik flame just kind of came out.
And next thing you know, I was on the other side of the patio.
I don't even know how I got there.
I was inside.
I just see, because he's outside, I just see him jump, leap across the patio.
What was in the egg?
Because it's toast.
Nothing. It wasn't cooking yet.
Because we were...
Oh, you were warming it up.
We were warming it up, and Jeff and I went to the store to go buy something.
Well, thank God, because whatever you had in there would be done.
It would have been charcoal.
Yeah, it would have been.
We could have mellowed some Gentleman Jack.
My point is that...
Chicken.
That egg...
Some black chicken.
That egg got pretty close.
If it went all the way around, if it goes up to 750...
I don't think it works that way.
I bet it was almost about 900 degrees.
Now, it can't go around in circles, and then you just add the next number to the previous number, Max.
I don't think you can do that.
It was over 700 degrees.
I don't know, but that just seems unscientific to me.
Okay, but maybe after...
This is Dr. Sean.
After... yeah, well, this is...
He knows about evaporating arm hair.
I have the same credentials as the Mr. Science guy.
Is that Dr. Fauci?
Oh, shit. Dr. Nye?
Yeah, Dr. Nye.
What a fucking fraud.
He doesn't have any training.
That is the third F-bomb I've dropped tonight.
What's up with me?
You're just a fucking asshole.
Oh, there we go. I feel better.
Me and my whole bargain.
I feel better.
You don't curse all that much, Jeff, I notice.
I try not to.
Yeah, you really don't. I'm impressed.
They slip out, but I try not to.
I'm trying not to, too.
You smoke hands around.
I don't try.
Yeah, I know. You look for reasons to curse.
I don't care.
Yeah, I know.
Anyway, anyway, speak about the...
Strong to him.
I can melt that.
Right.
Bullshit.
Challenge accepted.
Absolutely.
Where do we get tungsten? Is that readily available?
And what do they use it for?
Tungsten?
Look at that boiling point.
It's in everything.
What's 5,825?
Whoa.
10,000.
Yeah, you're egging to get that.
No, we're not going to get up to 10,000 degrees.
Hold on.
How many times does your thermostat have to go around to reach 10,000?
Yeah, no shit.
You're standing there going, OK, is that three or four?
Shit.
Oh, my God.
The tungsten's still solid.
Where'd you get that anyway?
Where do you get tungsten?
Lesley's Full Supply.
Yeah, where do you buy tungsten?
Why would you need to buy it?
Tungsten.com.
Yes.
So tungsten, rare earth metal, naturally found on earth.
Oh, we talked about that last week.
Almost exclusively combined with other elements in the...
You know, you're right.
So this is not necessarily exclusive to China, but...
But they have a monopoly on it.
Well, they're the only ones that are selling it.
Trump tried to open up American mining to it,
and then Biden probably is going to shut it down.
So why is the periodic table W for tungsten?
They ran out of less.
T was already being used.
Because it's also known as Wolfram.
Wolfram.
Wolfram is also a website or something that...
Yeah, there it is right there.
A computational knowledge engine.
Yeah.
I don't know if it does just mathematics or something.
Well, it's mathematician programs.
Yeah.
It's also a techno DJ in Norway.
Is it really?
I think so.
Ramstein.
Is he on your playlist?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
He's fucking retarded.
He had the head bob and everything going.
Yeah, you did.
He didn't head bob.
You're so flushed on.
Your face is red again.
He's taking his clothes off.
What?
Now it's a party.
That was Sean.
The producer looks over here and says, no, he's not.
Are you going to talk about the gentlemen jack mash bill,
anyone, or are we just going to pass?
Do we have the mash bill?
It has 51% corn, at least.
Well, let's go to Dude Tickler.
Dude Tickler.
All right.
This is getting out of hand.
I like that.
Yeah.
I just Dude Tickled you guys.
I have spent all this time trying to write down everything
I could talk about tonight.
All right.
And what's the point?
OK, Amy Cooney Barrett.
Yeah.
Oh, that's right.
They were given her props for like no notes.
Right.
Writing nothing down.
Yes.
Yeah, that's cool.
That's right.
I forgot about that.
So the for the double mellowed for exceptional smoothness.
Yes.
And inspired by the original gentleman distiller and our
founder, gentlemen Jack undergoes a second charcoal
mellowing as Paul was talking about to achieve exceptional
smoothness.
It's balanced flavors perfect for celebrating life's
extraordinary occasions plus all the moments along the way.
And it's a balanced oak flavor with notes of caramel and
vanilla.
Caramel.
Is that something as caramel or caramel?
Is it caramel or caramel?
I say caramel.
No, it's caramel.
I say caramel.
When in doubt, just say caramel, especially when you're at
like dinner parties with really rich friends.
Well, I like caramel.
Oh, my God.
Caramel is amazing.
It's not bad.
I mean, it's good.
It's just kind of generic.
It just seems so mellow.
Yeah, it's almost too mellow.
Smooth.
It's not very hot.
No.
What's the proof on this?
I don't know.
Six.
I don't know.
It's a liqueur.
I'm trying to see, but it's not enough light in here.
No, it's just plenty of light.
You need glasses.
Yeah.
We talked about that on a previous podcast, too.
You can't see her shit.
I know it says four or something, so it's probably
80.
It's probably 80.
80 proof.
I'm struggling, too.
I'll see.
A bunch of peas.
It's peas, really.
You can't even say the word.
Come on, Jeff.
Say the word.
I dare you.
A bunch of poon tangs.
It's 80 proof.
Yeah, really?
That's what I said.
It kind of tastes like it.
That's why we're kind of like, man.
Oh, shut up.
Get over it, though.
You know what?
We're graduating up to the higher proof bourbons.
I was thinking that the Gentleman Jack, I was thinking
it was supposed to be better tasting.
I'm sorry.
That's not what I meant.
What I meant was it was supposed to be a premium of
Jack Daniels.
It is.
It's definitely smoother than Jack Daniels.
It was cheaper.
Yeah, that's the whole thing.
It's a premium from Jack Daniels and the local liquor
vendors, but it was less expensive than Jack Daniels.
How can something premium?
Not for a $750.
I guarantee it.
It was what, $22?
You're getting a smaller bottle.
Well, it's still 750 milliliters.
I know, but you get the $750 of Jack Daniels and it's
definitely cheaper than Gentleman Jack.
How much is this $750?
Gentleman Jack?
That was $22.
Right.
And Jack Daniels, I think it's like $4.
Well, that's quite the difference.
I don't know.
I challenge you on that.
I don't know, but I guarantee this is the premium
brand of Jack Daniels.
No, I believe you.
So it's definitely more expensive per drop.
Because it's dripped twice.
It's dripped twice.
Oh, good song.
Yeah, I like to see River on.
All right.
Anyway, we don't know the Nashville.
Anyway, it's good.
All right, moving on.
So one of the things I want to talk about or write
about today is this lady, she is the youngest person
to do this.
She's 21 years old, and she rode a boat across the
Atlantic by herself.
Wow.
Her name, if you want to look it up, Mr. Producer,
is Jasmine Harrison.
And she, it was 3,000 miles.
She left from the canoe.
Wait, wait, you see this boat.
I mean, it's not a canoe or anything like that.
Probably like a lawn.
I mean, it's got some technology to it.
Like an engine?
Yeah, no, that's not her.
Jasmine.
Okay.
What?
But no, it was the new story there.
There she is.
And it was 3,000.
There's a lot of people in that robot.
I was going to say, there's like 18 other people
that are helping her.
It's a Cuban trip.
Right.
So she did this.
She left from the Canary Islands, which question,
where exactly are the Canary Islands?
Is that off the coast of England somewhere?
I thought it was off the coast of Africa.
I don't know.
That's why I asked the question.
I think it is off the northern, if I were,
we should look up the Canary Islands,
but I think it's off the western coast of northern Africa.
And if I nail this, I need some props.
I've already gotten the double mellowed thing tonight.
I should get Canary Islands as well.
Click the map down there.
There you go.
It's in Denton, Texas.
Whoa, look at me.
Look at you.
Man, aren't you Mr. Geographic?
I am Mr. Geographic.
You are Merlin Perkins.
I don't know who that is.
That's Marlon Perkins.
That was the Wild America.
The mutual VOMO.
Oh, yeah, we've talked about that before too.
Yeah, Marlon's.
Anyway, so she did this.
It was 3,000 miles from Canary Islands to Antigua,
which is down in the Caribbean.
So does she do it nonstop or does she take a break?
It took her 70 days.
Oh, yeah, she definitely slept.
No, she never ate, never drank anything, rode constantly.
She said that she would row for two hours
and sleep for two hours.
Row for two hours, sleep for two hours.
Oh, wow.
And she would eat, she said she ate mostly cookies and chocolate.
That's what we do.
That's what we did.
Just one?
Wow, that's crazy.
That's very impressive.
And in the article I read, she said she was 100 miles
from finishing, which sounds very far,
but it's actually, I guess, close when you're talking about 3,000 miles.
She was sleeping and her boat capsized.
Get out of here.
And it was a big wave, I guess, hit it, and she injured herself
because she got thrown and she goes,
it's like getting thrown against the wall at 20 miles per hour.
And so she hurt herself, and it took a couple hours for her to recover.
And the authorities checked her out, and she was allowed to continue.
And so they helped her flip the boat over and all that kind of stuff.
I guess, yeah.
But she has a support team.
It's not like she's by herself in the middle of the Atlantic.
Well, she's going 2,900 miles out and she's shy 1,100.
Yeah, they have a safety team and all that kind of stuff.
It's actually, I don't know if it's a competition or just a,
like you run a marathon, you know, you just run it,
and some people are like, I just want to do it to finish.
So it was something going on.
I can't remember the...
Masochism.
Yeah.
And what I find it interesting is in 2018, she watched the race on TV,
just like you and me.
All of us would sit there and watch it.
She goes, I want to do that.
I'm doing that.
And she did it two years later.
Well, you know what?
No way.
If you're inspired enough to do that,
did she have any experience prior to that?
I didn't say.
I imagine you have to have, well, core strength,
but you have to have a developed core strength.
So I imagine she had some rowing experience prior to that.
Of course.
Had to have.
Well, no, maybe not.
Maybe she just said, I want to learn.
Well, you saw the boat.
It looked fairly high-tech.
It had solar.
It was a special shape.
I bet those rows, I bet it was, they were perfectly in there.
Right.
And, you know, it was minimal effort to go as fast as you can.
It probably was built that way.
I'm not saying it was easy, but...
And with gears and stuff.
I'm sure they, I don't know.
But I'm sure the boat design helped.
But it still, it took 70 days.
And two hours on and two hours off.
What do you need solar for?
She needs power for, I guess...
Charge her phone.
For like...
To listen to our podcast.
Maybe radar.
It's dot.us.
Yeah, dot.us.
Maybe radar.
In the Atlantic.
Communications and stuff like that.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe she has a little heater on board,
so in the middle of the night, she stays warm.
Little TV.
Could be.
Little Netflix.
Yeah, she could be watching Dark.
She's watching Queen's Gambit.
Could be.
Yeah, that's a good one.
It is a good one.
I haven't watched it yet.
It's really good.
Is it?
I enjoyed it.
Me too.
So that's what she did.
That's what motivated her.
She was watching Queen's Gambit the whole time.
She's kind of like Sean when he rents cars.
He watches movies.
She asked what she was doing as she was rowing across the Atlantic.
Could be for 70 days.
Boy, you could binge watch a lot of shit.
Oh, she could binge watch everything on Netflix.
She could just watch, yeah, I finished Netflix.
Done.
So yeah, what did you watch?
All of it.
So it kind of got me thinking about other just crazy things
people do as far as sports and challenges,
how they challenge themselves.
There's people that swim across the English Channel
all the time and old farts that do that.
Hell, it's the polar bear club that like to jump in the freezing cold water.
They got everything you can think of.
I mean, you got people that try to go around the world in a balloon.
They got, you know.
How about that story where that guy was making his homemade balloon
and then said to the authorities, hey, my balloon went up
and my son was in the balloon.
Oh, the hoax.
Remember the hoax?
Yeah, but what was the point of that?
I don't remember that.
Publicity.
I do remember that.
Why?
Publicity.
And so everybody, yeah, everybody was like looking for the zoo.
Looking for the zoo.
Looking for the balloon.
Yeah.
Because his son was up on the balloon.
Like thousands of feet up there.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was.
And it was a balloon boy hoax.
There it is.
When was that?
2009.
It's 11 years ago.
I do remember that.
Homemade helium filled gas balloon shaped to resemble a silver flying saucer
was released into the atmosphere above Fort Collins, Colorado
by Richard and Mayumi Heen.
Did they figure out why he did it?
It's a husband and wife team.
I don't know.
I mean, it's publicity, but it's not the right kind.
Yeah, the event attracted worldwide attention.
And Falcon was nicknamed Balloon Boy in the media.
So I don't know whatever.
I know they were six years old, man.
They reached 7,000 feet.
And to put your child into that danger.
Because if they did that on purpose, shame on them.
Well, no, the kid was never on the balloon.
Oh, that's right.
They said they were on the balloon.
Was he like taking a shit somewhere?
He was always hiding under.
He's pulling a Harry Potter and he's a staircase.
Taking a Duke.
Why does he have to be taking a Duke?
He just played.
He was like hidden away.
I mean, I don't know.
Taking a Duke.
All right.
Well, can you drop the kids off?
I never understood it.
We probably should have read more about the balloon.
The incident family said that they first suspected Falcon.
He was missing when immediately after the balloon had taken off,
Falcon's brother told them that he hadn't seen the six year old.
He had seen the six year old climb into the balloons basket
beforehand.
A home video released the following day shows the launch of the balloon.
Richard inspects the basket.
Then his family count down in unison three, two, one before releasing the court.
Well, it says down at the bottom there, they found him hiding in a cardboard box in the rafters.
What an odd place for a child to hide.
Unless your dad says go get in that box in the rafters.
Yeah, we we spun.
That's the way it ended.
It ended with like charges.
Yeah.
Well, they looks like they they unleashed like helicopters and all kinds of stuff.
There was a cost to that.
Yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
If it's fraudulent, they charge you for it.
Yeah.
So what was some of the bigger ones that you can think of that amazing achievements that we're talking about?
Well, the the spaceships that are taken off right now from the private sector, not just NASA, but I think I'm thinking the personal experience.
Yeah.
One person doing something like Amelia Earhart.
You see the guy who jumped from space?
Remember that guy?
No.
He was like 50,000 probably more than that.
Hundred thousand feet up in the air.
He was in space.
He was in orbit, essentially.
From from what?
He took a balloon way up.
He had a platform.
Oh, yeah.
I heard about this.
And skydiving.
It wasn't 1960 space diving.
It was it was more recent than that.
But yeah, he was in a spacesuit.
He was so high and he jumped off and then parachuted parachuted down.
And then there were those guys that do the I mean, maybe not from space, but they wear the gliders or something.
Yeah, I like the yeah, I've seen those guys.
Yeah.
Now, those guys have those they just they spread open wide their their arms.
Yeah, they're like and their legs and.
What?
I don't think they're part of the outfit.
Did you say vaginas?
Yeah, you get that Philadelphia steak sandwich.
That's the as you're falling out of the sky.
You know what? I seem to recall one of these exact conversations on a previous podcast and I and I think and I think you'd made the same noise.
No, I'm sure it was different.
Anyway, anyway, it's like rocket man gliding.
Yeah, but those are wing suits, right?
Yeah, they're pretty amazing.
I'm a Red Bull as some of those with those guys will I don't know how far they go.
So but they they take tremendous when they like are flying and they're dropping their gliding and they got the lighting.
They're gliding at an incredible speed and they see the aerial stuff that the the stunts that those guys do where they look like they're about to hit the ground.
But then they get lower, lower, lower than awesome.
Boom, they're they're wide open to another canyon again.
Yeah, and it's just a little go through.
They'll go through very thin canyons or crevasses.
Yeah, and they die.
By the way, these guys do crash and die.
I mean, it's dangerous, dangerous shit.
Should be instant smack in the side of the wall.
I mean, they're going.
God knows how fast they're like that right there.
Jason Alder and the last.
Well, you know, the last thing I went through his mind, guess what?
The last thing I went through his mind was did I pay the asshole is that Austin also knows that he's like, is he really?
Yeah, you're setting that up.
That was a bug that was from the what was the last thing it goes through a bug's mind before it hits the windshield.
Well, that's the thing.
I mean, these guys that are thrill seekers, that's the risk, right?
That's the thrill.
It's the excitement of I could die.
These guys come up on bridges.
They climb up on radio towers.
They climb up on just about anything.
It's no different than the free climbers.
Did you watch that movie?
Free climbers die all the time.
Did you watch that free solo?
Was that was Sylvester Stallone?
Yes, that was Cliffhanger.
It was Rocky climbing.
That was Cliffhanger.
That was a good movie, by the way.
Cliffhanger?
I don't have to rewatch it.
I don't remember it.
I thought it was good.
I saw it.
But no, this free solo is about this guy who he's I guess he's the best free climber out there.
OK.
And yeah, this guy here, he climbed with an El Capitan.
Yeah.
And Yosemite.
And it had never been done before.
It had never been free climbing before.
And it took him months.
And the movie is about him planning for it.
And he'd wake up and he'd go look at it and he'd go back to bed.
And he has this map of the whole side.
And he's like and he's doing this.
And you could see the route.
They draw it.
And then he'll go up, I don't know, several hundred feet.
And then he'll go down kind of like a diagonal, go back up across.
So there's certain things he needs to hit.
Yeah, because he's got to have footholds and handholds.
Right.
I've seen him.
I don't know.
He's got a YouTube channel.
I watched.
I would watch this because it's this video crew hung out with him for a year as he kind
of prepared himself mentally and physically.
And he did it.
He would he would.
Black Chef said he planned his mission.
He would go out there and sometimes in the morning while he's out there at the base.
Yeah.
He'll get the willies and he'll be he'll call it off.
Oh, on the day he was supposed to do it or something.
Sometimes he'll call it off because it's he's got some sort of sixth sense that saying no,
today's not the day.
Yeah, today's not the day I'm going to die.
And he lives in a he lives in a van.
Yeah, he does.
Down by the river.
He does.
He literally he lives in a van and he'll just park his van wherever he's at.
And he bought a house.
Well, I'm sure getting after doing this.
Yeah.
Well, his wife gave him an ultimatum.
They bought a house.
And it's funny.
They're cute because she was talking about how the house is furnished.
It's got all their space.
And it's but it's a really small house, too, though.
Well, it's probably in California, right?
But I don't know.
But it's amazing.
He talks about the different techniques he uses with his hands, you know, in between.
He'll like you see him grabbing it, obviously, but he'll also say you got to use this technique
where he'll stick both hands in there and just kind of move them to create.
Yeah, kind of pressure it in there to hold his weight and then he'll just.
I don't know.
No, that's cool.
Find it fascinating.
And he's he's he's has to be just incredibly strong.
Yeah.
Incredibly strong fingers.
And he's got no body.
Look at his picture down there without the shirt on.
He's he's a pure athlete.
Yeah, that's an extremist.
That's crazy.
That is an extremist right there.
Yeah.
But I recommend it.
It was a good movie came out a couple of years ago.
I think it won an Oscar.
And it's just him doing this, you know, talking about it.
And I've seen that movie.
It's on Disney, isn't it?
It could be.
But, you know, they even even interview his the guys who filmed it saying, you know,
we expected him to fall at any time.
And how would we how would we deal with that?
Because we captured it.
How do we finish?
Yeah.
And then you finish.
Well, the first up, you don't finish the movie.
It's over. Right.
Right.
And then but you're talking about how you deal with the emotion of.
Yeah, he's like, you know, we wife, it's the emotion of his wife to having to cope
with him going up there with the opportunity.
And that has happened so many times.
So many climbers have fallen.
And I think they talked during one of them that one of his best friends falls and dies.
Yeah.
I don't know if he's climbing this one, but some other really difficult one.
And he climbs and I think he kind of goes away for a little bit.
And but there's a section of where he just he just he leaves and then he comes back
because he wasn't mentally ready and he comes back and he and he and he does it.
So it's kind of I mean, you know, I guess girlfriend wife, whatever, they know what
they're getting into.
But I mean, that would be worse.
And you know how they say wives of officers or spouses of officers, you know, they hate it
because they never know if they're going to come home.
You know what I mean, because they have a difficult, dangerous job.
I don't know. And this is even worse.
It's like police officers.
Yeah. This is even worse.
I mean, it's like.
So what is the click on the route?
Click on the free solo route.
Oh, they show. Yeah, there it is.
How he goes up. Oh, I see. Yeah, you're right.
He goes up and then down and around.
And yeah. Wow. Pretty cool.
Yeah. So he mapped it out, obviously, when he had ropes on.
Right. So he mapped it out and he would try it, try different grips.
And it took him a while to do it, to figure it out.
Yeah. So damn.
And then and then he's like, all right.
I could imagine just dangling like that.
No, me neither.
You know, it just thousand feet up in the air.
It's crazy.
I was at. So I remember somewhere where I lived, I was going to say possum kingdom, but that's not it.
This was an El Paso.
And I remember I was up pretty high.
And well, that's the weed.
I was nowhere near there.
You were really high. I didn't do it.
Really, really high. I didn't do that stuff back then.
So it was not like now.
No. Well, I mean, that'll do it. Period. Right now.
But I didn't do it back then either.
But my point is, is it was.
But my point is, I climbed up a little section.
It was probably maybe 50 feet off the ground.
And I remember there was this one point where I was pulling myself up
and I started thinking if I there is nothing here to save me from falling.
Right. I say I'm going to pull myself up because I can do it.
But I mean, I could slip and fall at this point.
But it was kind of a real somber moment.
Yeah. Sobering.
You say sombering. I think I said sobering.
Yeah. Somber. Yeah. Somber.
That's what he said.
I said sombering. Is that a word? Sombering.
Somber is. So what about sombering?
Is that like a ring? Look up sombering.
Is that like a very somber? I want to see if I use that correctly.
It's a ring that's very somber.
What is the the tallest mountain on the planet? Mount Everest.
Mount Everest. So they've got those dudes that are traveling up to Mount Everest
and hiking up there. And they die. Treacherous. A lot.
Yeah. They just leave you there. Yeah.
I mean, there's like frozen bodies all over that.
It's like littered with frozen bodies. Carcasses.
It's crazy. Everywhere.
I mean, honestly, I remember reading a story that so many climbers were wanting to do it.
And they're making it. It's almost like it's taking the glory out of it.
Because these guys are taking them up there.
Like, you know, there's a team going up while there's a team going down.
And it never was supposed to be that way. It's a dangerous.
It's a dangerous deal. And they're making it like a commercial.
It's like going to Disney. Yeah, exactly.
Yeah. Well, it's an expensive ticket and I'm going to have this guy take me up there.
But if something goes wrong, they all die.
So somber is a darker, duller color and gloomy.
I don't know if it was a somber ring. See if there's a somber ring.
I.N.G. I want to be right on this. Did you guys see? It's important.
Did you guys see the movie that came out a few years ago about that?
I may have been called Everest. There's no past tense.
There was about one of the groups that went up there and ran into all kinds of trouble.
Several of them died and whatnot.
There was a movie a couple of years ago, I think it was called Everest.
And it was good. It was about that. I think that's like a documentary.
It was a movie. Yeah, that wasn't a documentary based on real life.
And I think that's like a two or three month process.
Could you have to go up to like what they call base camp, which is at like 14000 feet.
Exactly. And you get acclimated for about 30 days.
You stay in that camp and then you go up another 10000 feet or whatever it is and you stay there a while.
And then you make the last trek up. Right. I think to the peak.
And I think it's just littered with a bunch of trash these days.
Yeah, I know. That was another thing that I read about it just like when I worked at the Four Seasons in Los Colinas,
there was a gentleman that was a member there and he he went up to Mount Everest several times
and he would he'd have a backpack and he would be in the gym on the stair master with a backpack loaded with weight.
They were like 60, 80 pounds. Yeah, whatever it was.
He would that's that's what he would do. He put his backpack on. You knew this guy.
Well, I mean, I didn't hang out with them, but I knew him. I could call him by his name.
I want to say his name is Mike something. That's crazy.
You know, he wasn't very big as a petite guy. Probably better.
Incredible stamina. I mean, kind of like the guy climbing the rock. He wasn't a big dude at all. Right.
I think he was tall and eight feet tall, eight feet tall.
It took like three arm strikes to get to the top. So it was super easy.
He just swung like an ape. Oh, no, he he was lanky. He was I think he was no he lived.
I don't fuck. I don't know. He looks like he's tall. Yeah.
Yeah, he looked he looked. I don't know. I don't know how tall he is. Interesting.
I recommend it. And I recommend the Everest movie as well.
I mean, there's obviously drama built into it because it's Hollywood.
But I find it fascinating on why you would want to do it.
Well, because it's there. A push your mind and body to the limits.
Right. They have they have divers that do that kind of stuff, too.
Well, it is. They dive deep in there.
There's these there's these places like what's called the Blue Hole or something to that effect.
It's the Bermuda Octagon.
Decahedron. Yes, the beauty.
We had fun with that on a previous podcast. Yeah, he sure did.
But that's the other thing where they hold their they hold.
Right. We're making fun of Sean. Yeah, it's well, there's multiple trying.
It's called free diving, I believe. And, you know, there's competition.
There's sponge divers. Oh, is that Putin right there in the submarine?
Yeah, it is. Oh, my God.
Oh, he's always trying to like make his Waldo. Is he shirtless?
He's always trying to make himself manly, totally manly.
Like they have him topless on a shirtless, I should say, shirtless on a horse and stuff.
But the dudes like not big like he's he's petite.
Yeah, he's like a short, short little dude. So he's got little little man syndrome.
Yeah, it could be. Anyway, the divers are talking about the ones that are renowned, right?
Renowned divers. They're like, you know, who stay off the coast.
I was referring to the divers that have a snorkel.
Yes, that when they when they go down to the depths, they actually inhale
a certain amount of water, not into their lungs, but into their nasal passages.
So to have something about the decompression.
So it's like if they go down a certain depth, if they could just flood their their nose up
and their it's like they bring water into their sinuses.
Yeah, they bring water into that area and they're able to go down longer.
And the pressure is different. Right. I don't know.
But I know the competition I saw. I saw I saw a program.
It was real life and their interview and some of these guys and they go down.
I can't remember the depth, but it's it's free diving and it's a competition.
It's a world competition. And when they come back up snorkel diving,
they don't know they don't have snorkels.
Yeah, you're talking about free diving. Yeah, they don't have snorkels.
But they go down and when they come up in order to pass, they ask you three questions.
You have to do three things. OK, I can't exactly remember what they are.
But basically you have to I think give them the OK sign or the thumbs up or something like that.
You have to say your name or something like that. And then one other thing.
And you solve some logarithmic equation. I think it was a Pythagorean theorem.
Yes, and a couple of trigonometry. Did you have to actually solve the equation or was it just the they had a whiteboard there waterproof?
And you had to work it. And you had 60 seconds to show you work. Yeah.
And go show your work. And you'd see these people come up and they could do one.
All of a sudden they just black out. They lose competition.
They fall back. And of course, there's a bunch of people there to catch them.
But they doesn't count. You failed. You made it all the way down there.
You made it all the way back up. But you didn't. You never say how far they go down.
Yeah, it's it's deep. It's like I don't want to say that incorrect.
Thirty, forty feet. No, it's like 400 meters or something.
OK, that's twelve hundred feet. Yeah, it's far.
Are you saying that it's impossible they go all the way down there and come all the way back up, but they come up too fast.
They they have to be careful about how fast they come up.
They call it the bends. Otherwise, correct. It builds up in the blood free diving.
What's the world record on the free diving? Eighteen feet.
That's the deep end is ten foot. That's what I was talking about.
Who can get to the bottom of my pool diving is what I was referring to where they two hundred and fourteen meters.
That's where they sit seven hundred feet.
That's where they they inhale some of the water because they go down so far.
Yeah. So I would imagine that it's in this this blue.
I don't know. I don't know if that's it.
But there's one that there are these spaces that just goes straight down, obviously.
And I couldn't imagine the pressure because I know when I was growing up going to the pool, just ten feet would bug me.
Yes. Anybody. So it's a matter of training.
And they had to come up and they like I said, they have to do, I think, three things.
And over and over and over, this guy, he beat the record and he came up and he got two of the things and couldn't do the he couldn't do the Pythagorean theorem.
He couldn't show his work. And they said, sorry, you didn't get it.
A squared plus B squared equals C squared.
He would get to A squared B squared C.
Yeah. So did he have to actually solve the problem?
No, he's getting there. There's three things.
And you have to complete them to make sure that you're cognitively there.
Right. Right. Well, and you're not going to pass out.
And several people pass out.
I'd imagine, you know, go through, go through like it's not a coincidence that it's off of Greece because that's where all the sponge divers are for hundreds of years.
Sponge divers have done what you're talking about.
Well, they basically they drop.
Oh, you basically jump in the water holding a rock, a big boulder.
They have that they have that rope for you to swim next to.
And you just you just drop it down there.
That rock takes you all the way down to the bottom quick.
And I can't be healthy, though.
Well, I mean, there's people that have been doing it for generations.
There's conditioning. I know when I was going swimming every single day, I could hold my breath for over three minutes.
Yeah, Jeff actually got down to 12 feet.
But no, I mean, when I was swimming every day, you broke the pool record.
Yeah. Yeah. When I was swimming every day and you're holding your breath, your lungs gain the capacity.
Yeah, for sure. And I was I was able to do it for over three minutes.
And that's actually respectable. Yeah.
Three minutes. And, you know, I'd say very respectful.
That was while swimming back and forth underwater.
I could do a couple of laps underwater. Sure.
But again, like there's no way I could do that now.
But you have to condition yourself. And these guys do that.
They train to be able to do that because if you if you're at the bottom seven hundred feet down and you're out of air.
Yeah. If I were in that pool, I'd be hanging out by the jacuzzi.
Yeah. The exhaust parts where that blows air. I like to stick my bum up next to him.
I like to hang out at the bar, but a flop your balls.
Is there a bar bar in those pool resort pools swim up to the bar?
Yeah. That's my favorite thing of a pool.
I I don't know about the jacuzzi blowing shit on my ass.
Whatever you were saying, I didn't say jacuzzi.
I just meant I was like to go in the pool.
Yeah. You're talking about some sort of hole in the pool wall and you were doing something below in your junk.
I don't know what you were doing.
Yeah. Well, anal stretching from the hell.
Is that a community pool or your own pool?
No, it's a community. Oh, see, that's just wrong.
He was breaking the flack off of his tank.
No wonder they like overcloning the shit out of community pools.
People like Sean are blowing their anus chunks all over the.
God, exactly. That's my point.
Well, if you think about it, everyone's taints are in there getting washed off.
Exactly. Actually, the worst thing is just kids in diapers.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. See the kids, the babies in there, they'll be like diapers and it's fully absorbed.
And you know, it's like there's nothing else that could be absorbed.
And then like four feet away, there's this guy like, you know, squirting water out of his mouth.
Oh, God, it's always one of those guys.
I think that was Paul. It was. I love that.
But yeah, then you swim with goggles on those pools. Highly unadvised.
Yeah, because you actually see what's going on.
Yeah, it's everywhere. The clusters of of fro hair and cubes everywhere.
There it is. Go ahead and say it is creamy day at chunks of stuff floating.
It's just a lot. This looks like some sort of and use band aids.
Yeah, it's like we should do a contest.
Whoever sends in the timestamp of whenever they hear the word creamy pubes of every, every single podcast,
they put you in in like a drawing for like a special dudes like us hat. A free koozie.
All right. Yeah, that's very painful.
Anyway, and one reason I kind of stopped going was I had a lot of fun with my kids, but after a while,
I couldn't enjoy myself because I'd get in the pool and it would be like I was a magnet where they would just climb on me.
Yeah, that's the chicks or the kids, the kids. Yeah. Oh, and I could play with them for for a while for a while.
But, you know, after three years of this, she was like, yeah, it gets all by yourself.
All I've got to say about that. Throw me dad. Throw me dad. Yeah. I mean, which was fun.
And I did it for a long, long, long time to me to get to the point where I was like, go talk to your mom.
Let's go to the pool. No, I'm good. Yeah. And that's like now thinking back.
Now you're like, I wish I could do that. Look at that pool. I actually that's all those.
Imagine all the people peeping in that pool. Oh, negative. So gross.
It is. But it's true. It is true. I think.
What was that movie? Was it grownups where they put they put the special dye so if you pee, the water turns blue.
That's not a real thing. I know. But I think that'd be funny. It would spread. If that was the case.
Yeah. I mean, you know, kids are constantly putting it because you can just just tell people to say,
you know, this pool's been treated. So if you pee, it turns red and you just go around with a little red dye blotter.
That'd be something you would do for coloring. Yeah. Yeah, I would. You would totally do that.
And the baby Ruth. Baby Ruth. No, that's peanuts.
But that was in a movie, wasn't it? It was Caddyshack. It's Caddyshack.
All right. Switching a little bit of gears here. I know we last week we covered the the monumental Mars Rover landing.
Minumental. Oh, it's huge. It was absolutely enormous what they pulled off. Right.
And we talked about the seven minutes of terror and how technologically difficult it was.
Well, they released either today or yesterday the onboard camera footage of the actual landing.
The Ted Cruz was on Mars. Did you see that? I thought Bernie Sanders was on Mars.
It was Ted Cruz right there on the left. They are. Oh, that's kind of funny.
Yeah, they have him pulling a. Oh, my God. They have him pulling a suitcase because of the Cancun thing.
That is so crazy. Ridiculous. I don't see what the big deal is. Me neither.
You know, I maybe I'm trying to think on both sides of it. You know, what could he do? I mean, nothing.
He had nothing. He had nothing to do with with.
We were caught in all the mess and none of us care that he went.
Yeah. But all the New York liberals and the press are bent. What a great point. What a great point.
We're the ones freaking in it. Right. Oh, not me. But you guys were losing.
You didn't lose power. You were losing power and pipes were breaking and all sorts of crazy shit.
You had power. You have your solar. I had power.
Well, no, not because of the solar. I had power the whole time. You did, too.
Yeah. And you don't have solar panels. No, I just have.
I actually wondered. I'm not sure if the solar panels work. They don't. Without the grid.
I mean, because the inverters. I mean, I think when you fire up the unit, the unit powers the inverters.
But when it's like. Totally down and it needs to start up, it's got to use the grid to start the inverters.
I don't I don't think I have the ability to start the solar panels without the grid. You'd have to rewire it.
So if the grid went down and you had solar, you'd be dead, too. I don't know. I don't know.
I was trying to I was trying to I think so, too.
They should make it to where you are. If you if you have solar power, I can be up.
It may only last an hour or two hours. I mean, it would last the whole time.
But I mean, it was there a son. You start to generate electricity from and then that should bring up the inverters.
Right. And then it should start to generate power.
Like it should be able to self start. You should get your money back. I should.
I'm going to I'm going to send an email to somebody. Anyway, the answer is I don't know.
I don't know if it will if it will do that without the grid or not.
But Ted Cruz, it doesn't bother me. He went neither.
If I had a trip going to Cancun, I'd have been out of here.
Fuck yeah. It was it was warm. It was a it was miserable back in Texas.
Anyway, and they're saying it's tone deaf and he is saying that the the elite and P.S.
I don't even listen to it. Yeah.
I'm I'm just so I'm so over it.
I was disappointed that he apologized. Me too.
I was like, dude, you should have just come out and said, you know what?
I took my family on vacation. Anybody anybody in Texas could have done the same thing.
He did. He flat out said I took my my daughters wanted to go somewhere.
I took them. I wasn't planning on staying, but I took them.
Right. And that's what the deal is. And what's the problem with that?
They're your fucking daughters. Why can't you take them?
You can do whatever you want. You can afford it.
You can take anybody any way you want. Screw that.
Yeah, I don't have a problem with it. So anyway, the the Mars Rover.
What's the name? What's the name of this rover? Is it got a special name?
Perseverance like Doug.
No, Perseverance Perseverance. I like my name better.
Yeah, you can. Yeah, I don't do the Microsoft Bing thing.
I just go straight to YouTube. But I mean, it's you know, NASA Mars Rover landing.
And it's incredible. I saw the first sounds and it was just wind.
Hold on. You just I just saw the first sounds and there was just wind.
I watched the video. Yes. Yeah, I don't.
It's just probably not. Anyway, so there was a long video, like two hours long.
I kind of skim through it. They showed a bunch of pictures like this, which is very interesting.
It's incredible. It's fascinating. So I can't wait.
There's a parachute, a parachute opening. Well, I guess that's that's the first.
The first video is the parachute opening.
What an interesting design on the parachute. It's round.
No, no, the color scheme.
Anyway, it's the JPL colors. I totally recommend you guys going back and watching.
It's very short. The NASA footage.
I mean, again, is that actual footage of it coming down or is it just a satellite view?
So they have like a camera crew like flying next to it.
Well, it's the guys with the with the wing suit.
They have little cams on their helmets.
It's a bunch of boats with Trump. Yeah.
You know, I didn't spacecraft. I didn't understand what he was saying at first.
But then after Ron had mentioned that, I do remember that.
And you brought in the Trump flags.
And then I was like, oh, I definitely remember that.
Yes. And that is unbelievable.
Those guys were out there in the middle of the Gulf.
Yeah. That was for the inaugural SpaceX.
SpaceX. So has this thing has this thing?
I know it's only been up there for a few days. Has it discovered anything of import yet?
Oh, of course not. I mean, dirt. Yeah, it's just.
And even if it did, we wouldn't hear about it. But stop it.
You and your conspiracy theory.
Let's hear some of the sounds that you have queued up there.
I mean, what do you get? What do they think they're going to find like forests and stuff?
No, no, no. They're looking for evidence of past life.
The video montage was what are they going to do if that's found?
First off, that's never happened. They have no proof.
I mean, scientists know that there is life out there, right? They just know it.
They just want to prove it.
It's statistically impossible that there isn't life out there, right?
Whether current or former. But yeah, they just want to prove it.
They want to see fossils, right? They want to see fossils of former life.
We're looking for that footprint. Like Sasquatch.
Yeah, like a big, big footprint.
So you hear that low frequency in there? No, not that.
I just hear a buzz.
Yeah, there's a low frequency that came in every two seconds.
And then they had that high buzz too. In our setup here?
Yeah, but he's playing right there. We got the 60 hertz.
Right there. That's wind. That's what I'm saying.
Oh, it's Martian wind. Yeah, Martian wind.
And there's one other thing. You can get on your phone
and they can show you the first 360 image that that rover has taken.
And you can take your phone and it's like VR.
You can spin it around. Is it red?
It's red. But it's amazing. I mean, it's amazing.
I mean, I don't think you're appreciating how hard it is to put a rover on the planet of Mars.
I appreciate the difficulties, but what I don't appreciate is
it's the same damn pictures we've seen for years now.
Show me something new. That's what I'm saying too.
I'm beginning jaded with the Mars rover. You guys suck.
You know what? I'm all on it. I get it. But at the same time, I'm kind of like,
dude, come on, show me where's the meat? Show me the life.
Where's the beef? Well, they're going to do it. Show me something new.
Yeah. Now they're they're in an area where I mean, it all looks the same.
And we've seen this before. Yeah. That's why I'm always thinking
there's like some conspiracy stuff going on, because I'm kind of like, well,
there's all kinds of stuff there. They never released any pictures.
That's not true. You're not going to the websites where they have like tons of pictures from all these rovers.
Or is it like Arizona? It is Arizona. In the biodome.
Right outside of Tucson. Did you watch that documentary on the biodome?
Biodome. Oh, in Arizona. In Arizona. I've been there. I've seen it.
Did you go inside? I did. Is that like an artificial generated environment?
Yes. In the desert. They were trying. Yes. And they didn't experiment.
They were supposed to be locked in there for two years, three years or something like that.
Yeah. Like a long time. A long time. And they were supposed to be self-sustaining.
And for a is either a moon base or a Mars base or something like that.
Something happened. Yeah. It totally cratered.
And they found out that they were that all their plants were dying and they're passing them food secretly and stuff like that.
So it was a big controversy. What? Yeah. Watch the documentary out. Yeah.
I've been to that thing. I have been to that. Yeah. You mentioned failed miserably.
I bet it does. Yeah, I didn't. I didn't hear that there was a conspiracy about sneaking food and stuff.
They were caught cheating. Yes. Like they were going out and clubbing at night.
They'd go on discotheque, dancing to ABBA, Dancing Queen. Discotheque.
They're like, I know this. Here's a bottle of gin.
And you know who the spokesperson was for the biodome at the time or maybe the lawyer? Barack Obama.
Very good. It's Michelle. No, it was Steve Bannon. Really? Yeah. That's weird.
So he's now been implicated in multiple and multiple fraudulent things.
Yeah, he probably he they brought him in. I don't think he was involved from the beginning, but he was at the end.
Yeah. And you know what I'm talking about? Like recently he was charged with some sort of fraudulent stuff.
Oh, no, I don't know what anything new. So now that's the second time he's been associated with something that's fraudulent.
Yeah. Look up biodome. And he was he was what you would call it pardoned by Trump. Yeah, he was.
Does that does that pardon him from all future or just what he's currently done? Just the one deal. Just one.
I didn't know Bannon was involved. So he sounds like a con artist, man. Biosphere. That's what it's called. Not biodome.
Biodome was a stupid movie with. Yeah. Polly Shore, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Biosphere.
Yeah, he was involved in that. And at the end, I don't know if he was a spokesperson or a lawyer or something like that.
That doesn't look good. Yeah. But he seems like a what?
It was a while ago. It was in the 80s, I believe.
Two thousand sixteen was in that picture. Well, no, this was not two thousand sixty. It was back in the 80s, I believe.
Yeah. Ninety three. Two hundred million dollar into the project, but hired Bannon in ninety three to stop the huge runaway cost of the experiment gone awry.
So he was brought in to try to save it. It was something to do with the border.
Steve Bannon got caught up in some fraudulent deal to like privately finish the border, the border wall.
I haven't heard any of that. Oh, OK. Hold on. Yeah, he was trying.
OK, it was it was this management of money funds.
Right. People were donating to build the wall.
And Steve Bannon was tasked with managing the money that was donated.
And put it in. Hey, Mr. Producer, put it in.
Steve Bannon border wall. Well, he was was he skimming?
Yeah, apparently there was some he was out buying boobs, booze and tacos with the money.
I don't know. Yeah, border wall.
Well, that's that's basically what it was.
And you know what? And what he had claimed is like, yeah, well, you know what?
We spent money on X, Y, Z, but that money was supposed to go right back in.
You know, facing May 24 trial on criminal charges alleging that he and three other.
So the word raised over twenty five million for rebuild the wall campaign.
And yeah, so basically he was yeah, he was skimming money, apparently.
That's fraud, I guess. Right. Yeah. Well, he bought like it says right there.
Five million dollar yacht off the coast of Connecticut luxury yacht.
Yeah, he's pretty such bullshit.
He's always come across as kind of sneaky, kind of sneaky.
That's the second con con job he's been associated with more than that.
So anyway, documentary out there on the biosphere, I recommend it.
It's it's it's very interesting. I don't know.
I yeah, I agree. It's interesting.
I'm just thinking moreover, it's like. Kind of crazy.
I mean, all the different public officials, I mean, he doesn't even hold an office.
He's just in the private sector. Right.
He was a former White House chief strategist. Yes, he was.
He was like first six months.
That kind of stuff doesn't reflect well on Trump, man.
I mean, if he's putting these kind of people around him and they're like getting, you know, arrested for fraud and shit.
That's not good. Well, well, and you also got to imagine that the.
Well, I got nothing. Yeah, it doesn't look good for him.
It doesn't look good. Well, there's two losers right there.
Trudeau and Biden. Yeah.
Apparently, they're forming some new partnership, friendship partnership.
Whatever raise the taxes on cheese and milk.
Yeah. Or the tariffs, I should say. Yes.
One of the one of the other topics I want to talk about my wife will like this is plumbing.
Yes, we did have an emergency.
We had to pause. We had a water main break or something downstairs and we had to take care of it.
That's an extreme assessment. Water main break.
There's at least a good 10 inch pipe burst. Wow.
Damn. You guys use a lot of water. Jeff Luj.
That's how I couldn't say it's on my day.
Ten inch pipe a day. Yeah.
Anyway, see, that's what I was talking about in the pool.
No, that's not the same thing. Actually, it is the same thing.
Kind of fracking your ass fracking fracking fracking in a community pool.
That's a no, no, no, no, no.
I've always put a shoehorn.
So if you're if you're in your pool and Sean's like, I'm gonna go for it.
He's never going to get my pool again.
I don't know if I want to. The last time I came out with.
Yeah, you had crust all over you. It's like, shut up.
My pool is fine. Well, it was your hot tub.
I know. My hot tub is fine.
You know what it was? I have reflected on that since I know that podcast.
It was Algecide. What is that?
Algecide is a sort of hot tub.
Algecide is stuff you add to your pool to keep Algecide algae from forming on the walls of your pool.
What about it? I don't put spermicide in my pool.
It was like thank you for asking. It was like a Flemish lichen.
Yes. Yes. When you agitate, very flimmy.
When you agitate, how do you explain the infused pubes that were in the whatever the hell you're calling it?
Human hair naturally attracted. It was like someone's track with a two inch pubes on there.
Just stop. That's not mine. OK, we got to move on.
We've already covered with the Algecide mess in my pool.
That's what it was. That's exactly what it was. And when it's agitated, it foams.
I think that you'd send it to Mars.
Oh yeah. We should put. We should. We should infect Mars with bacteria.
From poles. And then it can form.
Chikoozie. OK, stop.
You said you had a topic. We don't have a topic at the moment.
Yes. Can you please go to one?
This is completely different than pools.
Legos. It's again another. What?
Did you say Legos? No.
We've talked about Legos.
Anyway, the children just asked, where are you going?
She's not. You could join us up here if you'd like to.
Yeah. Why don't you get on the mic?
All right. Is the fast food drive through?
I read an article today. Joe Pesci. Here we go.
I read an article. I don't like drive throughs. OK.
I think it's for lazy people. For one thing.
Get out of your car and drive to Joe Pesci.
Yeah. No.
So anyway, I was reading an article, especially the Chick-fil-A
drive throughs that can get extremely long.
They're very efficient. Very efficient.
But they get extremely long. And there's a guy up in Ohio
who owns a store in the same strip center.
OK. And the Chick-fil-A line gets so long,
it goes entirely through the parking lot and blocks all the cars.
And people can't come and park. That'd be irritating.
So and when people can't park, they can't get out
because the line is so long. Sure.
My thing is, I'll just get out of my car and walk in.
If I see... I don't like to drive through anyway
because they always get the order wrong.
Not necessarily Chick-fil-A, but that's happened to me
enough times where I don't use the drive through.
Right. And I would rather park, get out,
and I can get back in the car by the time people are through the drive through.
I'm just like, just get out of your damn car.
Yeah. No, I'm with you.
Instead of being lazy and just sitting in your car on your phone.
If it's short, I'll definitely do the drive through.
But if it's long like that, yeah, I just park and walk in.
Yeah. And then I feel like smart.
I walk in while all those people are...
And you just look at them like...
All those fools are rotten in their car.
And then you realize it takes just as long.
I know, it does. But it makes me feel empowered.
It does. I disagree.
I'm a proponent for going to the drive through.
He's lazy. Lazy.
Remember you talking about the lazy people?
The lazy. Lazy.
I'm the poster child.
Get your steps in.
Yeah, I would rather go to the drive through.
And I'm guilty of it.
I've gone all the way home and I'm like, you son of a bitch.
They forgot a hamburger.
Yeah.
They gave me no package of ketchup.
It's devastating.
Well, I mean, when you're trying to get a bunch of orders for your family
and you've got six members of your family...
It's best to go inside and get it right.
Well, you know what?
My experience is I would say less than 1%.
One out of 100...actually, that's not true.
Maybe one out of 10 is messed up.
So that's 10%.
Yeah. I don't...
At Chick-fil-A, that never happens.
Yeah, Chick-fil-A is different.
They do get extremely long.
I just don't like to drive through.
And it drives my wife nuts.
Because she's a drive through fan.
Well, she wants instant results.
Well, that and...
She's like, I cannot wait.
I want to eat now.
Or I cannot wait.
I'm switching the tubes right now.
I'm taking the hose off and I'm going to swap them right now.
And flood my house.
Right.
Right. I got you.
So anyway, that's kind of the line that I go...
Instinct gratification.
You know, I always get out and go in.
I don't use the drive through.
Well, I don't know.
I like the drive through.
It really depends.
I mean, I go inside sometimes too.
Just because I'm lazy, I'll go inside, actually.
Because you're lazy?
Yeah.
That makes no sense.
Well, I mean, my point is...
Because you recognize you're lazy.
It's like, I need to get out of the car.
No.
Oh, I see.
No, that's not what I'm saying.
I'm lazy and I want to stay around and wait.
Like I did that the other day.
I was like, I don't feel like waiting the drive through.
I'm just going to be lazy and go inside.
I can sit down and just...
This makes sense.
Have a soda pop.
I guess it's all perspective, right?
Yeah.
If sitting in a line of cars seems like a lot of work,
and parking and getting out seems more lazy...
Sitting down seems like a lot of work.
Yeah, Sean can find, you know...
Well...
He can twist it to where that's something seems like a lot of work.
Sometimes when you're at the drive through,
a little voice box and you're trying to get your order in
and...
That's my issue.
I hate to interrupt you, but when you're up there
and you're like, yeah, I'd like a...
Grrrr...
Thank you.
Come again.
Welcome to Talk About Grrrr...
I haven't even ordered yet.
Welcome to Talk About Grrrr...
Grrrr...
What the hell?
Was that Gollum?
That sounds like your last girlfriend.
I'm like, yeah, I'd like one burrito.
Grrrr...
Yeah, no.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, no.
What did you say?
Grrrr...
It sucks.
Yeah, it does.
That part...
I mean, I'm a hearing impaired person,
so that makes it really hard.
It could be.
That's why I have to go inside and they can sign with me.
What are you doing?
That's not signing.
I was signing.
What the fuck was that?
You were doing freaking hand jive from Greece.
I don't know what the hell he was doing.
Hand jive.
Number three, yeah.
Yes.
Yeah, he just totally hand jived over here.
Was that not the American Sign Language?
No, it isn't.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Wow.
I'm insulting.
I wish we had that on video.
That would be your new gift.
People ask me that, right?
We're hearing-impaired.
I'm hearing-impaired, and people say,
Oh, do you know how to sign?
I'm not deaf.
Right.
I'm not deaf.
I'm hearing-impaired.
That's a big no.
You really don't know how to do...
No, why would I know how to sign?
I'm not deaf.
Oh, we're getting the music.
I got to tell a story about that.
I was at Six Flags, and there were some deaf people
that were stuck in a car, and they were trying to communicate with them.
And the group I was with knew I was hearing-impaired,
and they were like, Does anybody know sign language?
And they all turned to me.
All their faces turned to me.
You should have just gone like this.
No, and I went, I went, I'm not deaf.
I literally said that.
I go, I'm not deaf.
Why would I know sign language?
And they were all like, Oh, yeah, yeah.
All of them.
It's like a big company group.
Oh, look at you.
They all looked at me, and I was like, What the fuck?
I'm not deaf.
You're racist.
I am.
I'll finish that story on the next podcast.
Interesting.
So do you think your work keeps you hanging on the payrolls because you're deaf?
Yeah, no.
I mean, I think I meet the diversity quota.
Maybe that's why she's mad at you.
Yeah.
No.
That's not right.
All right.
We're wrapping up today's episode.
Yeah.
Thanks for being with us.
We had an emergency midway through.
Hopefully it's not too jarring, but thanks for joining us.
Yeah.
I'll see you guys in March.
It's a long time.
Oh, yeah.
That's next month.
Yeah, sure.
Is it 1030 already?
It is.
Oh, you guys taking the three day challenge?
Where you don't drink on the 29th, 30th or 31st of February?
Yeah, we'll do that all together.
I'm in.
Me too.
All right.
Peace out.
