It's incredible, but incredible.
Almost on time.
Almost.
What was that first bourbon we had?
MB?
MB Rowland.
We did.
The first 10 we've ever ranked.
We did.
The first 10.
The first 10 ever.
I believe it averaged out to be like a 3.2.
Oh, that's right.
Oh, never mind.
Sorry.
My bad.
It was 6.
6-ish.
I mean, it wasn't bad.
It was great.
We were like, God, it's so good.
It's good.
What do you think, Sean?
6.
What do you mean?
6.
Actually, we don't have to relive that.
He was good.
All right.
Welcome back.
The second half of the Dudes Like Us podcast, we have our producer, Mr. Austin, back there.
Yay!
Dudes Like Us on Sean.
He's fired up and ready to go.
Look at him.
I'm Jeff.
Oh, I'm Paul.
Is your hearing aid battery all charged right now?
I've got to put a new battery in.
I'm good.
I'm pretty good.
So it's really loud now.
Very loud.
Fast.
Are we faster?
Faster?
Yeah, there's just more power.
I don't think I hear quicker.
No.
I hear the same rate.
When you get a phone call, do the hearing aids vibrate?
Yeah, I don't have them vibrate.
Do they vibrate?
They do not.
That's not a feature.
That'd be a cool feature.
But actually, that would be interesting for older people to have their hearing aids vibrate
when their phone rings.
I wonder if you can get bone induction hearing aids.
Isn't that what the cochlear implant is?
No.
I have bone induction headphones for working out.
What?
Okay, describe this bone induction.
I'm not familiar with this.
They do not go into your ear.
They go on your jaw right outside your ear.
And the sound goes through your bone.
Kind of like the cochlear implant.
But the cochlear implant is actually implanted into your skull, right?
Yes.
But it uses the skeletal frame to resonate.
So I have those shocks up there.
The shocks.
Shocks.
Look at that.
Yeah.
So I don't have a mouthpiece though.
What would make you go buy these?
Why this instead of?
Because they are good for running because you can hear what's going on around you because
there's nothing inside your ear.
And they're good for runners.
And we bought this for Steven.
And when he stopped running, I inherited them.
And what do you think?
They're good.
They sound great.
The bass response is not there.
So if you want some thumping bass, but that's all right.
It's good music.
But you don't go running.
I wear them when I go to the gym.
He wears them from the walk from the car to the gym doors.
Right.
That take them off.
Right.
Well, that's interesting.
I had not.
I did not know this.
Yeah.
See how this existed.
You see?
Well, I don't have the telephone one like this guy does.
Got a little little.
But it sits right on your on your skull.
Right.
Boom.
And it vibrates and you can't hear it outside of.
They're just like headphones, right?
So you can't hear them.
Just like if you had earbuds in, but it gets loud.
It gets extremely loud.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Huh.
Anyway, it's good.
They work.
This one was 200 bucks.
But again, that's the telephone one with the big old boom arm and everything.
Yeah.
Anyway, it's good.
I recommend them.
I don't like shit in my ears.
So you said something about shit in your ear.
Yeah, I don't like shit in my ear.
I don't like putting stuff in my ears.
That's a weird fetish.
Because I produce some wax and if I put stuff in my ear, it compacts it and becomes a problem.
Yeah.
So I don't put earbuds or anything like that in my ear.
That's why those are perfect for me.
So you wouldn't be you wouldn't do well with in the ear hearing aid that I would not know.
So you're an overwaxer.
I am.
So do they make the bone ocular hearing aids?
That's what I asked.
I was like the bone induction hearing aids.
Do they make those?
I don't know.
I've never looked into that.
Yeah.
And the cochlear.
I'm very happy with my in the ear hearing aids.
I don't have an overproduction of wax and I do a very good job of keeping my ears clean.
So it's not an issue for me.
Yeah.
I certainly don't have enough hearing loss to get a cochlear implant, which is like extreme
hearing loss.
Yeah.
They surgically put something on your skull and you have a wire going from your skull
to your inner ear.
It's a miracle.
Right.
It's a absolute miracle for people that had no options before that.
Rush Limbaugh.
Rush Limbaugh had that.
Absolutely amazing.
Yeah.
So he was going deaf and he disappeared for a while and he came back with a cochlear implant.
Yeah.
Beethoven would have continued his composing.
Isn't that amazing?
Even though he was going deaf, he was able to produce all that stuff.
No.
They say when he started going deaf, it pretty much was the end of his composing.
Oh, I didn't know that.
That's what I read.
Which was weird.
Be Thubbin?
Which was, I had thought the same thing.
I had thought that he wrote a symphony completely deaf and the last thing I read about it, I
was like, oh, well that's not what I remember.
What age did he go deaf?
I don't know.
Did Mr. Producer bring up Beethoven?
Did he just go to the Rebel too many times in the front row and just get blasted?
The ACDC concert.
Yeah.
He would get deaf at age 28.
It was actually the Metallica concert.
We want to know, when did he?
He began losing his hearing at age 28 and by age 44 his hearing loss was complete.
So when was his last work of art?
Did he actually compose anything while deaf?
So Fur Elise was written in 1810, two years before Beethoven went fully deaf in 1812.
Fur Elise, that's a good one.
His hearing was already limited by the time the piece was written.
His music got higher in pitch as his deafness progressed.
Interesting.
I mean, it got higher in pitch, meaning he was writing music.
For like piccolos.
Which is really strange.
You don't forget that bass is required for all the symphonies he wrote.
You know the bass needed.
Yeah, but he couldn't hear it.
So he couldn't fine tune what he was writing.
I guess.
He couldn't hear those sounds.
So he didn't write big, maybe that wasn't just a big part of his music then.
Fascinating.
Who knows?
We can't ask him.
Unfortunately.
Yeah, he's dead.
For a long time.
Yeah.
Or ever.
Unless his head is frozen next to Ted Williams.
Let's walk through this.
Let's say there's a heaven.
Hypothetically for some folks that believe in heaven.
And let's say that Beethoven is there.
You have...
Is he deaf?
Well, there you go.
There's that.
Is he deaf?
You guys already know.
We are perfect in heaven.
But I'm being serious.
We are being available.
So my point by asking that is that everybody wants to meet me.
Beethoven.
Who wants to meet?
Everyone.
You'd want to meet Beethoven.
There's a lot of people you would want to meet.
So, I mean, can you imagine the onslaught?
You'd have to like just bum rush through to be able to get to him?
Do they have paparazzi in heaven?
Oh, God, it'd be like a nightmare.
That would be like being in hell.
I don't think there's paparazzi in heaven.
I think...
Look, if I want to go meet Beethoven and I'm in heaven, aren't you kind of annoying him?
You're like, dude, all right, fuck.
I don't think it's like that.
I think we have the ability to connect with everybody all the time as much as we want to.
And there's no lines.
Oh, so you're saying...
So there's multiple Beethovens.
Not just one, but your brain is so perfect that...
But everyone else is gone except you have a beeline to it whenever you want.
That's what it seems like.
You have a...
But he's talking to hundreds of other people at the same time.
You have a dimensional contact, like God.
Basically, yeah.
So who else would be like that?
Whatever he gifts us in heaven.
Who else would you like to meet?
Mozart?
I'd like to...
General Patton?
I think...
MacArthur?
Interesting.
Bo Derek?
Is she still alive?
She's still alive.
Are we John Derek?
You can meet her now if you want.
What about Farrah Fawcett?
Farrah Fawcett, yeah.
I don't cancer.
I'd like to meet her about...
Before her I ask cancer.
You just want to ask her like, you know, hey, how was modeling?
Like what would you say to Farrah Fawcett?
Hey, babe.
Hey, you want to do it?
Really?
In heaven?
Yeah.
It'd be like I've already done it.
Maybe you're not going to be there, Sean.
I don't know.
I don't know, man.
What would you ask Farrah Fawcett?
Seriously.
I know you're just joking that she's a hottie and all that kind of stuff, but...
What else would you ask Farrah Fawcett?
She's not a shining icon of humanity.
She was a fucking...
Pretty woman.
She was.
Very pretty woman.
I don't know.
I have no idea what you would ask.
Hey.
How was Ryan O'Neill?
Yeah, what was it like being on the Charlie's Angels?
How's the bionic man?
You know what's funny?
I bet you, Lee Jaxon Smith and...
I bet you that's why it's really difficult for famous women who are single to date anybody.
Like Linda Carter from Wonder Woman?
No.
Stunning.
She was.
Beautiful.
I bet you it's difficult for them to date anybody because why do people ask them?
What does a guy come up and, hey, how you doing?
Hey, what was it like on Charlie's Angels when you were recording with all those other
pretty women?
I think it would have to happen organically.
It has to happen organically.
Just like you met your wife.
It would have to happen organically where not necessarily they knew each other.
I don't recognize you as Linda Carter.
Exactly.
Just a beautiful woman.
I don't know who you are.
And you have to shoot the shit like you would like any other person that you're talking
to.
That's kind of what it is.
Make them laugh.
Make them smile about anything completely unrelated to who they are.
You got to be confident in who you are.
And if you're going to start over, you should.
I mean, most women go for confidence.
Yes, that's true.
You got to go in there and you just got to talk.
You just got to say.
That's why I'm like, hey, want to go out to heaven dinner?
Oh, OK.
And maybe have a heaven cocktail afterwards?
Heavy petting?
Heavy heaven coffee?
Do you want to go to second base?
Is that boobs?
What is second base?
What's first base is kissing, right?
Second base is like top shirt boobs.
I'd be like, bitch, let's go to the dugout.
Come on.
Bring it.
So what's third base?
Let's go back to the clubhouse.
So what's third base?
Third base is touching under the clothes.
Is it like any hold on?
First base is kissing, right?
First base is I mean, I'm going back to, you know, what we all talked about is, oh, my
God, did you make it to first base or second base?
But what is it?
First base was kissing.
No, no, first base is holding hands.
First base was first base was holding hands.
Second base was kissing.
Third base was what?
Maybe not.
Home run is like doing the deed, right?
I guess so.
All right.
So maybe we should revise this.
First base is kissing.
You're jumping pretty far.
Yeah, I know.
OK, so first base is kissing.
Second base is touching over the clothes above the waist.
Second base is touching above the waist.
Third base is stimulating anywhere below the waist, stimulating anywhere below the base.
Third base is stimulating anywhere below.
There's pictures.
Oh, wow.
Of course, it's graphic.
Is that a thong?
It's graphic.
It's just cartoon pictures.
Home base, also called fourth base, is sexual intercourse.
Banging.
Really?
Banging.
Coital intercourse.
Does that include anal?
How do we go from what would you ask Farrah Fawcett in heaven to, hey, what is third base?
What is wrong with us?
All right, here, I got a little quote here.
What is the base?
What is base six in a relationship here?
Base six?
I don't even know what that is.
Oh, why are we skipping base five?
I don't know.
It says some couples have been given more romantic connotations denoting any significant
milestone.
Oh, the sixth base would be engaged, starting a family, moving together, similar language.
Post sex.
Look at the graphic they have in there.
And that's just the thing.
This is what kind of is perverted.
Here we go.
Look at the picture.
This really grinds my gears.
Look at the animation that they have on there.
This is online.
It shows what it's showing, but the problem I have with it isn't anything about this.
It's what I imagine those stupid books in the elementary show the little kids on how
to perform better oral sex on men.
Is it because of the quality of the artwork here?
No.
I think this is very child looking.
Are you referencing the school board books that people are freaking out about?
Absolutely.
Gender Queer?
Well, I don't recall that.
That's one of the books.
Is it?
I don't know.
I just, when I see this animation.
In other words, it's cartoon characters, but doing a really bad thing.
Very sexual.
I mean, clearly they had a fantastic picture of the thong.
I knew it was a thong and it barely showed the thong.
I was kind of like, that is a thong.
Or some of the images we see on our Instagram search.
It's not on my Instagram.
Crazy.
Do you know, for that kind of stuff to pop up, you have to search for certain things,
I think.
That's not true.
I don't know how that happens for you guys.
I right click on all that stuff and say, not interested, not interested, not interested.
Finally, we're getting a lot of the stuff off.
Now at least we're stuck to two dimensional stuff.
Really?
Thank you.
Why?
Thank you for showing me, Jeff, what pops up on our feed.
Yeah, that's great.
Super.
That's the reason why it shows up is he selects it.
Well, no, I just did.
You know what?
I'm not looking.
You know what's interesting?
They were talking about not only the pictures and stuff like that, but they were talking
about novels or books.
One parent was reading the book in an approved school district book in the school board meeting.
They called her out.
They said, you need to stop reading that.
Ma'am, you need to stop reading that book.
She was like, well, why?
She goes, well, there are children present.
She's like, does anybody else see the irony here?
I saw that.
They're asking me to stop reading because there's children and this is a family event.
These are found in my child's library.
Library, right.
Yeah, the hypocrisy there.
Probably being pushed by a teacher that has a rainbow flag in her classroom.
By the way, they outlawed that in a couple of states now.
I heard that too.
No rainbow flags in the classroom.
Oh yeah, that was, was it Missouri?
Utah?
I think it was Missouri.
Yeah, I can't remember.
Yeah, there was a state who did ban.
Ooh, speaking of, did you see the story where the Oklahoma school, the kids were sucking
the toes of teachers?
It was like a contest.
But they were sucking the toes of adults.
Why?
That's exactly the point.
Why were they doing this?
So I think this was several years ago because I remember that a long time ago.
No, this is one day ago.
Yeah, this just happened I thought.
Yeah, but I remember a controversy like this already.
And yes, it was like a.
So in Oklahoma's high school is facing intense backlash after students were captured on video
licking feet during a fundraising event.
Yes, that's what I read.
A viral video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, seemingly shows Deer Creek high
school students participating in a bizarre competition for the wonderful week of fundraising.
The video was shared by Libs of Tic Toc.
And what else?
So that's basically what it was.
Mr. Prusik, you want to pop up on all all participants in the assembly were students
clearly signed up.
All participants in the assembly were students who signed up for the games they played.
They played ahead of time.
No Deer Creek faculty or staff participated in any of the games during the clash of classes
assembly.
Any dedicated students have generously of their personal time have gave generously of the
personal time to achieve the momentous.
So they're trying to justify this.
Yeah, it's just a momentous accomplishment.
Really sucking teeth or toes.
We would like to thank all the patrons, businesses, sponsors who contributed the success this
year's wonderful week of fundraising by toe sucking.
So OK, do you remember the kids sucking adults toes?
Do you remember when they have kissing booths at festivals like the fifties?
Right.
Sixties.
I don't think I had them when I was going.
How is I mean is that I've never seen that different?
Well, those were students kissing students.
That was an adult.
Well, I mean, they said that no faculty participate.
They were adults, though, that were in the chairs.
Yeah, the students were sucking.
Yeah, that's just not.
That's just not right.
No, it's like parents.
I don't get it.
I don't either.
I don't understand it at all.
I think the kissing booth is different because you have like the prom keying up there or
the prom queen up there and you're paying five bucks to go kiss them.
Right.
This is all right.
Everyone would never fly now.
That's so gross.
What?
The kissing booth?
Yeah, I mean, because of move back then is even a kind of like what a whore.
Well, I wouldn't think that.
I was not up there to know all that doesn't matter.
It's a kiss.
It's in time.
I would.
Yeah, but I wouldn't call them a whore.
I would call them a whore.
I would call them undesirable.
Oh, well, yeah.
Well, I mean, obviously it was something that was.
OK.
Yeah, back in the 50s and 60s, which were not.
You're just trying to elicit a reaction, which is apparently working.
Yeah.
Look, look, look, come on.
It is a bad thing to do.
Yeah, it is.
And I'm huge on that.
I think that, you know, well, girls and guys were doing it.
Guys whores as well.
Yes.
Yes, we are.
Well, that was different than what you said a few podcasts ago that men can't be whores
and sluts.
Only women.
Oh, we're slut makers.
We're not whore makers.
We're not reliving that.
That was not a good podcast.
I actually kind of like that one.
So let's revisit.
Let's move on.
Good Lord.
All right.
Hey, so let's talk about something else.
Let's talk about.
No.
So there was a new space thing that just popped up.
We talked about a little bit about the lunar lander, the lunar lander, but there was something
else that just happened.
It needed a third, a third leg.
It needed the push up arm.
It did have two legs or three legs and four legs, did it?
So it needed a fifth leg.
It needed something to push itself up.
It needed an additional thruster.
Correct.
Yeah, that's sad.
I can imagine all the work that went into that.
Did they say they're still collecting some kind of data?
So the space X fills up a starship mega rocket for the test for the third launch.
Did you guys hear anything about that?
Oh, you're talking about the space X.
Yeah, space X Starship Flight three launch.
No, I didn't hear it blew up.
I did not.
So some video with a space X launch to the eight dragon.
Yeah, they've had multiple tests now.
And then, yes, it blew up like after, you know, what do they call it?
Something separation.
Correct.
Yeah, that was a while ago, though.
They're getting ready for another launch.
Now this is the one that's going to take them to Mars.
Just so you know, I have no desire to go to Mars.
No, no.
You know, you don't want to be one of those people that I'm not ready to buy an EV.
I'm not ready to hop on a ship to go to Mars.
Well, it's unrealistic that you're going to travel to Mars.
Technology is quite there.
It well, it may be there now to sustain life for, I don't know, X amount of years.
But what are they going to do for the very first trip there?
They're just going to go there, fly around and come back because there's no there's nothing
there.
Right.
So you also do the Martian.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, they lost contact and he was communicating.
I was actually a really good movie.
Yeah, I enjoyed it.
It was Matt Damon and pooped and grew potatoes in it.
Yeah.
Well, he actually he used everybody.
The astronauts poop.
Yes.
Did something go wrong?
Did somebody die or something?
He got left behind.
Yeah, he got left behind.
So yeah, there was someone a couple of that died.
But so the the premise of is they went out there to try to explore, set up a little colony
out there.
They think he was dead.
They did because he got struck by a flying debris and they saw him like laying out in
the field.
And they said, yeah, we got to go because the wind was like way too strong.
There was a storm coming in like that would suck.
Yeah.
And then he comes to and he's kind of like, yeah, I've got something stuck in my chest.
And he makes it back to the and they're and they're gone.
Well, they're gone.
And and he's got no way of communicating with them because like there's a certain the systems
are down, but he has got to survive.
So he's got all this food and he's rationing out and he realizes, yeah, I've got to I've
got to figure out how I'm going to survive.
I need to grow food.
Yeah.
So he ends up growing his food out there using poop and Mars Earth.
And there is a camera that's working because that's how they were communicating with him.
Well, they had no audio.
They eventually get to communicate somehow.
Yeah.
There was a there was a rover that he had found unearthed or unmarzed.
And Mars Mars.
So he dug it up in the but there was a he ended up figuring out how they were able to
access the camera on there and they were able to move it around.
And he figured out a way to communicate doing that.
Yeah.
You know, I remember that.
I remember that.
It was it was interesting.
I mean, it was it was something we don't ever think about.
Right.
Like in it was a creative, creative topic.
Right.
Well, the travel time to get out there is like years.
Yes.
Is it I thought it was three and a half years.
Yeah, something like that.
Yeah, it would be terrible.
It would be terrible.
You can always I mean, there's I mean, I don't know.
I mean, you're in a vacuum, so it seems to me you just kind of you can accelerate as
a problem.
Decelerating would they have would they have Netflix on the way out there?
You could download a bunch of movies.
That's what I would do.
Porn hub.
I'm not a porn hub, but I would have like play video games.
Well, you don't play video games.
Now I would catch up on all these games you guys talk about.
Halo and three and a half years is a very long time to be in Iraq.
I go in this direction.
I would have like a brothel just.
Who's going to fucking be the women?
You know, it's funny, we talk about Star Trek and they have those holo holodeck.
Oh, yeah.
That would be the crustiest holodeck.
That room would be so nasty.
Oh, yeah.
Blacklight everywhere.
Yes.
Gross, right?
Well, I think I think before they want a brothel, I think before they go to Mars, they need
to do more long term studies on what zero gravity does to the body.
They do because it causes problems.
It does.
Yeah, it does.
I mean, you have to exercise regularly.
Get all.
Yeah, you get your your bones decompose.
Well, yeah, they break down.
Yeah, so you got to you have to maintain you have to maintain like the treadmills recommended
because it creates that motion and they've got these straps that kind of harness you
and pull you down onto the treadmill, which makes your muscles work in a certain way.
I just say nothing is heavy.
Yeah, so they make no gravity.
So they literally no gravity.
So there's nothing as heavy.
So you can't your muscles can't build.
You have to have resistance.
So you'd have to like the bands.
Yeah.
You can't lift a weight, right?
Because you can lift weight.
You're not really doing anything.
So you have to have resistant.
OK, so you can create weights to hold you down.
I just saw a movie called Space Man, I believe, with Adam Sandler.
I just saw that it was, you know, I would watch it.
But I mean, it's it wasn't a fantastic movie.
It's Space Man.
It was similar to Interstellar.
Interstellar with Matthew McConaughey.
Yeah, it was similar.
It's basically I'm not sure I've seen it.
You know, his job is to go out towards, you know, he's launching a solo on this big ass
ship and he goes out towards Jupiter.
And it's like a couple of it's a couple of actually it's I guess this one goes a lot
faster because he's he's only he's only gone for like a year and a half.
So he goes out there and he's scooping up some Jupiter dust and he comes back.
That's his that's his job.
By himself, by himself.
Oh, this is the Adam Sandler.
This is the Space Man movie.
OK, OK.
I know you heard it.
Well, don't give away any.
Yeah, yeah.
Don't spoil spoilers.
Spoilers, really.
I mean, that's what the movie is.
You know, there's you know, and he encounters.
This is new.
Oh, this is brand new.
Yeah, this is brand new.
So there's there's some interesting stuff that goes on.
I mean, he's he's envisioning alien life form out there.
You don't know if it's real or not.
And if it clear, the thing is, is that how did the alien get in the ship?
If it's real, if it's not real, they're no point watching it now.
But they're they're showing all this in the trailer, though, all this stuff they're showing
in the trailer.
Yeah, I don't like it.
If I want to see it, I don't want to know anything.
I don't know what is about Adam Sandler.
I don't think he's I like watching his movies.
Is it hard to take him seriously?
It is hard to take him seriously.
This one's a little bit.
It looks like a serious movie.
Yeah, it is.
It's a little bit more serious.
He's not he's not funny at all in this one, but it's just I know he's trying to push himself
to to to be that type of actor, but he's not that type of actor.
He's just not.
It's kind of it's just difficult.
I know he's made some he's had some serious.
It's like it's watch.
It's like watching Bill Murray with Razor's Edge.
You know, no, I got you.
It is very difficult.
Hasn't he?
Hasn't he done some serious roles?
He's a couple.
Yeah.
Like what?
Don't mess with the Zohan.
Are you serious?
Get the fuck out of here.
He's like a hairstylist with a huge rock.
I was like with a huge peen.
Oh, God.
Don't mess with the Zohan.
That was a stupid movie.
He's had some some good.
I watched the shit out of it.
My favorite.
I've watched so many movies.
Forty first dates with 50 50 50.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I was like Wedding Singer.
I think Wedding Singer was really good.
Oh, he's got a lot of fun movies.
I mean, granted, I enjoy even like what is earlier is Saturday Night Live.
I mean, when he's coming out with those audio albums, you know, he's funny as shit.
It's just he's funny.
What is the one that he keeps making with David Spade and in the rest of the Rat Pack
with the fathers and they go out these little ventures?
I don't know that one.
Oh, I know where they're like where they pee in the water.
If you pee in the water, turns blue.
There's a bunch of blue water around all the dads because they were peeing it.
Yeah.
What is that?
Grownups.
Yeah, grownups.
But going back to the Mars thing, I mean, if they're going to go through all the effort
of send somebody out there for three years and are they are they staying there?
I think it's a one way thing, isn't it?
What's the plan?
The plan is to build a little house and like a like a space station.
Well, let's first get ground on a couple of things.
So to travel to Mars, we projected how long would it take?
I thought it was three years.
How long do you think?
Well, yeah, three months.
Yeah, it's it takes about seven months.
Yeah, that's my guess.
Oh, that's not bad.
So the seven months.
Yeah, the trip to Mars three years.
Well, compared to three years.
Yeah.
So the trip to Mars will take about seven months, about 300 million miles.
So who cares about how many miles?
It's all about how many months.
So they're saying in 20, the 2030s were actually NASA's advancing many technology to send astronauts
to the moon as early as the 2030s.
Elon Musk wants to do it sooner.
Why would we go to Mars instead of trying to figure the moon out first?
Man, I mean, I think I think they're doing that too, right?
I mean, NASA has all those private contracts with contracts with private companies.
I think we should.
I think the moon is too convoluted.
I think seven months is reasonable amount of time to travel.
What haven't they figured out on the moon already?
What do you mean?
What's exciting about the moon?
Well, if we're trying to colonize Mars, why don't we try to colonize the moon first?
Oh, I think they're going to do it concurrently.
Yeah.
Wow.
I've never heard anything out of Elon Musk about the moon.
He's only talking about Mars.
I don't think he has any desire to go to the moon.
I've never heard him saying things like that.
There's nothing new about it.
From the standpoint of a challenge.
Yes.
Like never been done before.
Yes.
Well, I can see that.
Elon Musk is all about never been done before.
Like the Neuralink and the SpaceX.
I get that.
Private SpaceX stuff.
If you're going to try to colonize something, I would think you would want to try something
a little closer.
Slightly easier.
Yeah, maybe.
Both are going to be difficult, but one is I can be there.
He's not about that, man.
He's about making the impossible possible.
He really is.
Yeah, I guess, but I think he could set up a colony on the moon a lot faster than going
to Mars.
It seems to me like it would be a better stepping stone.
That's what I mean.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not saying ignore Mars.
Hey, let's figure it all out on the moon.
Yeah, build exactly what you would build on the moon.
Build it on Mars.
Build it on the moon.
Correct.
I hear you.
I hear you there.
Quasi, I agree with that, but the problem with the moon, in my opinion, and I always harp
on this, you guys bust my balls over it, but I think it's you're fucking up when you're
messing with the moon.
The moon is part of it's what it is.
It's symbiotic to Earth.
Yes.
And if you fuck things up on there, I just think it's a bad idea.
Well, that could happen any day when a huge asteroid hits it.
That's true.
But why would we want to do it?
It's not like we're detonating megaton bombs on the moon and fucking with it.
We're putting a nuclear reactor on the moon.
That's Russia.
Okay.
Yeah, but a nuclear reactor is being put on the moon.
If that blew up, what could happen?
The moon is big.
It's very big.
It's not this little thing, so it's very, very large.
I get it.
My opinion, that is the reason why I wouldn't go to the moon.
I would rather... I mean, it's a good idea that you're saying, hey, let's do a trial
run on the moon because it's so much closer, but at the same time, it's like, fuck it.
Seven months, we already know... They already know so much about it.
What is it going to take to land on the... I mean, they've landed rovers on there?
They're having trouble with that.
They want to put people on there now.
Yeah, but people are... The other thing is, the planning, execution,
hardware, everything is different for going to the Mars.
I mean, Elon Musk is building an entirely different rocket for the sole purpose of it
being able to reach Mars.
I understand that, but I think my argument still stands.
Let's figure out the moon first.
Getting to Mars is different than getting to the moon, but the construction of shit
in outer space... And deploying it, yeah.
Again, it's not exactly the same because Mars has some gravity different than this.
It has some atmosphere different than this.
It's obviously made out of different shit as well, but figure it out so you can get
stuff up and back much quicker.
It can happen faster and go, okay, this is what we learned.
Instead of every time I go out there, it's seven months just to get there to figure something
out.
Oh, shit, that one blew up six months in.
Fuck, now we got to start over.
So you literally... Do you know that it's a one-way trip for people that choose to go
to Mars?
I thought I heard that.
I don't know.
I don't think they can sustain them for the rest of their lives there.
I thought that was the understanding.
If you want to be the first ones out there, it's a one-way ticket.
There's people signing up for it.
They need to be prepared for it to be a one-way ticket.
I'm sure that the end game is for them to come back.
How?
I mean, they've got... It takes seven months to get there.
So the concept is probably... But those rockets that go out there to drop
the rover off, they don't come back.
Yes, right.
In other words, we don't have the technology to... Once they're... Let's say they go
there, they stay there for a month, and they hang out.
They don't have a rocket ship to bring them home.
It's been spent.
Well, I mean, maybe it takes 12 months for them to get back.
That rocket ship will kind of... This one here.
Space travelers will return never.
They will finish out their lives on Mars, according to this company.
A Dutch company called Mars One began looking Monday for volunteer astronauts to fly to
Mars.
Departure for the Red Planet is scheduled for 2022, landing seven months later in 2023.
We kind of missed that.
Yeah, they're way behind here.
Damn COVID.
It's COVID.
But look, the thing is, if they go out there, it's a commitment.
So yeah, obviously.
So when you say commitment... No, but look...
Your life.
What they got to do is, when they're sending them out there, they set up camp, whatever
they're going to do.
But you can imagine, every seven months or every so often, they're going to get packages.
A new shipment.
Yeah, there's going to be stuff that's going to come, and it'll be like a rover showing
up with supplies.
Yeah, what if something happens two months in?
Like an Amazon shipment.
Fuck, my tent blew up.
Well, you know what?
Shit happens.
You're dead.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
You're toast.
But you know what?
That's how life happens.
You know what?
That's how it was when people left Europe to go find what else is out there.
Oh yeah.
Just the trek.
And there were Indians over here.
Just the trek to get across this country was perilous.
Making it to the North Pole was unthinkable.
Oh yeah.
I'm not saying that people should do it.
I'm not going to sign up for it.
Dude, but this is human spirit.
You got to love that.
For people willing to do this, that's fantastic.
We ought to explore that down in Antarctica.
You know, why don't they take some of that divine money they've gotten, head to the bowels
of the Earth's oceans and find out what the fuck's down there.
You know, I'm reading a book now, one of the Sigma Force books, and I think you should
read.
I think you'd get the kick out of all of them.
They're explaining it's that same discussion as we know more about the surface of the moon
and Mars than we do about the surface of our oceans.
The depths.
They said, you know, there's, and they gave a spec out there that, you know, they're saying,
well, we've explored this much of the ocean.
They're like, well, they really haven't, because they may have sonared it, but no one's been
down there.
They know basic contour and stuff like that.
Correct.
No one's been down there.
They said it's actually like 0.5% of the ocean's floor.
Because it's so inhospitable.
It is.
It's so deep.
It's dark.
It's so deep, dark.
It's so deep.
Light doesn't get down there.
That's right.
It's amazing.
And they see creatures down there that are like, where the fuck this thing comes from?
Can't see.
I mean, everyone's seeing Finding Nemo.
I mean, do you see those fish that were down there?
Yes.
And they grow bigger because the oxygen or the, again, this book, there's a lot of science
in it, is there's different layers of the ocean.
Right?
So the bottom is density, weight, oxygen level, salinity.
So the stuff on the very bottom, because of the pressure, has much more oxygen and lower
salinity.
So the animals grow larger.
The whole dinosaur thing.
I thought it was less oxygen.
That's why they grow larger.
No, it's more oxygen creates larger animals, just like the dinosaurs.
There was more oxygen back then.
Maybe that has to do with bugs.
So there's a little graphic pulled up layers of the ocean.
Oh, oh, wow.
It's got it's got layers.
It's got names just like the yes, they do.
Just like the atmosphere, the Hado the Hado.
I guess that's how you say it is the very bottom.
Yes.
Hey, hey, Hado, play, play, Jack.
Yeah.
And the ability to kind of play, Jack.
Yeah.
So yeah, I had a play of this.
Able, Jack.
Yeah.
Like, I just read the book where they went through all these layers.
They're listening all crazy.
So they get sea cucumbers down there.
Well, you see sea cucumbers all the way up on the upper of the epi allergic one.
Yeah.
Well, there's there's all kinds of animals that have adapted down there.
Sean's disputing this already.
I'm just saying it's amazing.
No, no, I'm not disputing.
I'm just saying that they do have sea cucumbers up top.
So that kind of makes me wonder.
I'm like, huh, that's kind of where sharks down there.
I think what they're really there is that's all that they can see down there.
Yeah, I think it's amazing that they don't know the whole point.
They don't know the skeleton or the structure of these fish can handle the weight of pressure.
Yeah.
Of the water on them down there.
That's because we saw how the Titanic submersible with those people in it.
We saw how that went.
Yeah, that didn't go very well.
It really didn't.
There's a specific shark that lives down there and it doesn't.
It's not like your great white, right?
It does.
It's not like it looks different.
It's weird looking, I'm sure.
Yeah, so.
Does it have like glowing fins?
No, it's black.
You know, that's what's amazing for some of those fish down there is they figured out
how to produce light down there.
I mean, it's like these.
It's bioluminescence, yeah.
Yes, it's crazy how amazing those pictures are where they have all these changing colors
like jellyfish that change all these different colors.
So even like the sea life down there, God will provide.
Look at that.
Yes, for sure.
Look at that.
Yeah, there's squids.
Look at this shark.
Oh, my God.
Is that part of the movie?
No.
That's terrifying.
That's a deep, deep water shark.
It's a whale shark.
And it's blind, isn't it?
Yeah, they don't see.
Massive deep sea shark checking out our submarine.
Oh, this is ocean.
So there is a there is an incredibly large animal that's just coming by and chewing shit
up.
Golly.
What did it gobble up?
Who knows?
And what's interesting is when whales die, they fall all the way down to these deep trenches.
Yes.
And they have all kinds of critters down there that just start chewing on them.
Just eat it.
It's like coyotes.
It's a buffet.
Yeah.
And there's a bunch of worms down there, a bunch of looks like you know, the little gray
pill, pill bugs you see on you lift a rock.
We have huge ones that are like three feet across.
And they do like a time lapse.
And they crawl all over it and they eat it.
And it's in there kind of translucent color.
And these things come out and eat it and everything.
So that's a big shark.
It is a big shark.
Yeah.
Well, it is amazing.
I'm kind of curious what kind of stuff we're going to see on Mars.
I mean, you know, they don't have any conclusive evidence that that there is life on Mars.
However, there is conclusive evidence that there's there were signs of water at one point.
There is water.
So I mean, just the fact that there's water.
Is it water like H2O water like H3O water?
My understanding is one of the rovers found I definitely know they found evidence of water.
That was easy to find.
Efforescence.
But look at that.
Is that a real thing?
Yeah.
Is that a real picture of weird?
Psychedelic jelly.
The Crocata Milsi.
Two point in centimeters.
Oh, it's one inch across.
Yeah.
That thing is tiny.
So you could see those like at the Dallas Aquarium Zoo.
Really?
They've got all kinds of cool stuff.
What is that?
The Blob Sculpin.
It's a cycrolteous.
Are we looking at deep deep sea creatures?
This goes up to 9200 feet deep.
Damn.
So that's.
My ears pop after like eight feet.
Six feet.
Octopus.
Yeah.
Octopus are kind of crazy creatures, you know, because they're kind of like one of the few
creatures that really aren't tied to any other species.
And they're smart.
They are.
And they can fit in small little cracks.
What the fuck is that?
Oh, there's the one that's from the Finding Nemo.
Yeah.
Light little stick.
That's a black sea devil angler fish.
15,000 feet.
Oh, that thing is terrifying looking.
And then you get attracted to the light.
Yep.
It lowers the light.
Look at that right next to its mouth.
It's a tantalizing.
I'm going to the light.
This is the.
All right.
It looks like a.
3,000 feet.
Looks like a floating liver.
That's supposed to blob a jelly right there.
Anus.
That's.
Yeah, kind of does.
It is amazing that we know that little about the ocean.
That's amazing.
Well, there's a lot of crazy stuff out there.
I mean, I'm sure dudes like us are really fat infatuated with what we're talking about
here.
But what about other planets?
Like what about Jupiter?
It's very gassy.
That's gassy.
Well, is there any solid part to Jupiter?
Is there a core?
I think there I thought there was a core.
But really, what's more interesting about Saturn and Jupiter are the moons.
Correct.
Because I don't.
I.O.E.O.
Isn't there one that has massive volcanic activity and is the one that says it's it's
similar to Earth?
Yes.
It's like got an atmosphere and it's got ice and they think like liquid under the ice.
There's no way there isn't some form of life.
Is it one of those things where it's like in a billion years there could have life?
It's just early on in the development where Earth billions of years ago didn't really
have anything.
I don't know.
I mean, I don't know about a moon of a planet.
Well, it's Jupiter, the James Webb Space Telescope captured images of a Jupiter moon, Europa.
Europa.
That's it.
Revealing an abundance of carbon dioxide on its frigid surface.
I'm telling you, I mean, Earth, life finds a way, right?
Life finds a way to happen.
So it would not surprise me if we're going to find life within our solar system.
It's going to be one of those moons.
Jacques Cousteau would be like under its bright frosty shell.
Jupiter's moon, Europa, is thought to harbor a salty ocean.
Salty.
Dude, what are you?
That's awesome what you're doing.
You're on a NASA website and you got a 3D image of some of the moons of Jupiter there.
That is crazy.
Oh, look how different directions things are going.
Cousteau.
Yep.
So we're looking at a map where you have these moons that are rotating around Jupiter, but
they're going in all different directions.
So they could feasibly smack each other at one point.
Interesting.
I don't know.
That is awesome.
What an awesome website.
Yeah, that is good.
What is that?
That's science.nasa.gov forward slash Jupiter.
It's showing them forward slash moons forward slash Europa.
It's showing like showing them all revolving around Jupiter.
Have you guys ever looked through a binoculars and seen the moons?
You know, little little specs, of course, but you can look through binoculars when when
Jupiter is like in full display.
And you can see you can see some of the moons.
It's amazing.
You see you see like a little a little Jupiter and and spark and little dots around it.
What is Lucy?
Lucy.
That's a comet.
That's a moon.
Of what?
Oh, wait.
No, I don't know what Lucy is.
Oh, it's a satellite.
Oh, damn.
I got to go find this website.
That's pretty bad ass.
That was pretty cool.
The whole space thing is pretty cool.
It is.
And one of the theories in this book is that they're saying life with her trying one of
the scientists is trying to prove his life actually started in the depths of the ocean
because it was protected from all of the shit that goes on at the top.
Yeah.
Meaning like the supernova things.
Getting the planet, killing the atmosphere while everything underneath, like in the dirt
and everything, bacteria and stuff.
And the theory is that it it grows so slow.
We really don't notice it until you really look and can understand them.
They're like they're trying to adapt that to try to identify slow advancing life in
space instead of fast, which is on the surface.
Right.
So it's dead, live, dead, we're down in the thing.
There's could be hundreds of thousands of year old, but it's smooth.
It's living so slow to to really recognize it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I get it.
I don't know if that's that's kind of the theory in the book.
There's so much, dude.
I mean, our whole world could immediately like change when something something happens.
Some technology happens or first contact happens.
I mean, they're always the telescope capabilities now.
They're able to find planets in the habit that, you know, habitable zone in other solar
systems where it's like in the sweet spot in the distance from its sun to have, you
know, they call it the habitable zone, meaning it could it could sustain, you know, it could
have water, it could have, you know, all the the thing is, is that it's amazing.
It's fun to fathom those types of things, just like it's fun to win the lottery.
You know, it's it's fun.
You know, it's never any it's it's an infinity.
It's endless.
It's, you know, it's endless speculation.
You cut you just kind of think about what's going on out there.
But you know, unfortunately, when you break away from that daydream and you wake up, I
mean, you're still slapped in the face of what's going on right now.
You know, it's it's disheartening.
It is.
It's it's a little depressing.
It is.
I mean, I enjoy all this.
I love it.
Who the hell wouldn't?
You know, I enjoy, you know, all those things.
And then you're forced to just sit there with some dudes and drink a good bourbon.
Yeah, this bourbon is bourbon.
So we we scored.
How did this come about?
How do we get this?
Paul got this.
I think he there is a texture.
That's right.
I did get this.
Paul.
I got this one.
I think it was.
It was one of these big wins.
I think it was on our lead, though.
Hey, Paul, go get this.
I don't know.
Paul just happened to be circling the total line.
No, this one is a unicorn.
This one's hard to find.
It was more guys.
You're not going to believe I scored one that I knew that I knew in my heart.
It comes in a tube.
Something that we wanted.
I think you were there just at the right time.
Oh, could have been that too.
When I remember.
Yeah, it's funny.
Don't I have the same bottle?
E.H.
Taylor, Jr.
Single barrel.
A straight Kentucky bourbon whiskey.
Yeah, it's honor proof.
I don't believe there's any junior on there.
No, there is a junior.
Dude, I know my bourbon.
My bad.
It actually says it up there.
It's ridiculous.
Oh, there he's just reading on the script.
So this is the single barrel bottled in Bond.
You know, so let's back up a little bit.
We're going to talk about the E.H.
Taylor, but I want to, you know, Jeff and I were while you were in a way this weekend,
we had the total wine tasting and Jeff and I went out there to go sample teeling Irish
whiskeys, which is actually pretty good.
It was actually a fun class.
And I look forward to the next one because being a Grand Reserve participant, you allowed
but you're allowed you're allowed two tickets a month to go for some of these samples and
an additional ticket will cost like 20 bucks or so.
So I'm thinking we could like split the cost between the three of us.
You get a meal, a couple drinks.
Really?
They fed you in 15 grab bags sandwiches like a sandwich.
No, there were meat sandwiches with a couple wings.
They cause the Buffalo Wings are the ones that did it because Sean some gastric distress.
Oh, yeah.
I have to wait for like 12 hours.
Can I ask an honest question?
What doesn't cause gastric distress?
This is true.
Sean.
No, but this was different, man.
It was literally the but flu, man.
I was double over a pain all night.
Yeah, it was it was uncomfortable.
You know, and the thing is, I was having a good night.
But look, not to break away from the E.H.
Taylor, but I wanted to talk about the fact that it's Hunter proof.
And I was about to rip into it, you know, and I was like, yeah, I'm not going to do that.
But the teeling guy, he was talking about how these these people that own or the people
that are like these stewards of a bourbon were telling the target proof for theirs was like
92 proof.
Ninety two proof.
Yeah.
And I was just kind of like I'm thinking to myself, you know, like, Jeff, we're leaving.
Yeah.
I was like, we're out of here.
Finish your family.
But then he explained why.
But we have a we have one hundred sixteen.
I was like, oh, OK, I'll stay.
You know, they did have some good stuff.
But you said they explained why they explained it to hear why.
Because they said as you water down bourbon, when it sits in your glass, your bourbon will
start to or your whiskey will start to separate at a lower proof.
And they said at 92, that separation does not occur.
So that's why they don't go any lower than 92.
Correct.
So their lowest is 92 proof because it won't separate in the glass.
Like if you sat there, they said, you know, I don't know what part of it, but the oils
will separate.
OK, but OK, compounded with that would go lower if they could.
But it's separate.
But what quality they said that compounded with that, that's they said that if you put
a little bit of distilled water in there, that it releases different aromas.
Right.
That's what they said, in addition to what Jeff said.
But they said it releases different aromas and tastes when you add a little bit of water.
Oh, yeah.
We've talked about that before.
Yeah, they can.
They compared to hot for you.
Put in two drops of water.
Yeah, they compared it to when you make a bowl of soup.
And you put it in the fridge.
A stew, a stew.
The fat rises up in the oils and you'll see a nice separation at the top.
Yeah.
Right.
They said, well, that same thing happens with whiskey below 92 proof.
Interesting.
You add a little water on there and stuff starts to float.
So my bottle of Henry McKenna, my 80 80 proof Henry McKenna, you're saying in that bottle,
in that handle that sits on me, it's my mixer.
I love it.
But it sits up there.
According to them.
It I would need to like stir it up.
Well, I don't know if it's the bottle or if it when it's in the glass.
Interesting.
They didn't specify.
Well, I mean, look, I think everything will separate everything.
Let it sit there long enough.
It's got to separate.
I mean, there's there's nothing.
Austin probably partially hydrogenated peanut butter language more than I would.
What do they call a mixture of something that separates?
Coagulate?
That's not that.
But that's a solution.
Yeah, there's a solution.
And there's stuff.
It's it all basically separates after a while.
That's why they came up with hydrogenated oils to being I mean, dead serious.
Well, hydrogenated like peanut butter, natural peanut butter will separate.
Those are the healthy ones.
Right.
The oil will go to the top.
You don't want to mix it up with a pain in the ass.
I can't stand doing that.
But apparently they came out with non hydrogenated peanut butter or peanut butter that you don't
have to stir it.
I'm like, how does that work?
Yeah, that's just a fucking you know, they must have put something else in there.
It's hydro generated.
Don't get us something.
Don't get us hooked on this conversation.
Let's back up to the each tailor.
So we've what we got in the notes of this.
We'll scroll down.
And I think there's some tastiness.
Well, I like it.
There's some sweetness.
I think there's some fruits on this.
It's a little dried figs, a little stone fruit.
It's very mild.
I mean, the very with the very first sip we took was it was it hot?
Because right now I almost taste really mild.
I almost taste like grape in.
That's what I said earlier.
There's a grape essence to it.
Yeah, I tasted grapes.
I mean, I don't see that.
I could be the figs maybe.
Yeah, I think that's what it is.
But the tasting notes, you know, it's amazing because they don't add figs.
They don't add stone fruit to this.
So it's just that was one of the things they said of the tealing thing is that they were
taking their whiskies and they were moving it from an oak barrel and putting it in a
rum barrel.
And it was giving off its different flavors.
I mean, it's really a science.
It is experimentation.
Yeah.
And this one in each tailor's got this one just for that little grape taste.
I kind of enjoy that.
It's a little dessert.
I would personally like it a little hotter.
It's a little hotter, but still, I'm enjoying this.
I'll give this a seven one.
I give this I'll give this a little bit higher.
I really like this.
I'm probably about a seven, seven, seven, eight.
Yeah.
I I'm not sure.
It's so mild to me.
It tastes great.
Things I'm not going to say.
Oh, was that allowed?
But you said it's a hundred proof, right?
Underproof, yes.
It's so it's so easy to drink.
So I guess that's a good thing.
So I would you know what?
I would give it I would give it a seven four.
There's a lot.
I think the M.B. Rowland was a much stronger.
Yes.
But I like much richer.
But I like this a lot better.
Do you?
Oh, yeah.
Flavor wise.
I agree.
That much.
So that's a six point one.
No, but that's a tenth a tenth higher.
So a seven point one, you said?
No, no, I like I like this a lot.
It's good.
No, there's no question about it.
I think it needs to be a little little beefier to jump it up into the eights.
But this is good flavors to it.
I like it.
It's a little bit different.
The grapes again, whether it's that's the fig or whatever you want to call it.
Right.
Look, guys, I speak of the hydrogenized stuff going on.
You know, I got to tell you, I don't know if I look any different.
I don't feel any different.
But I will tell you my belt with an extra step today.
Another notch.
So.
So you are losing weight.
There's no question.
I am losing losing weight.
You're losing circumference.
Yeah.
Inches.
And I don't.
And that's actually matters more than weight.
Yeah.
I haven't.
I mean, in all fairness, I haven't weighed myself because I get too angry.
I shouldn't say angry.
I get disappointed.
Yeah.
I can see that.
So it's just like something like I'm not doing it.
I'm just going to continue my efforts.
So so eventually you're just to be like like a ring.
Yeah, you can be you can be a size two.
Yeah.
Well, you'd be like, Hi, guys.
He's going to remove like a rib.
So it's like really just like Sean, is that you?
But yeah, I'm a size two.
You know, of course, it on.
Of course.
That's just so maybe that won't happen.
So I went I went to the doctor, I don't know, six weeks ago.
I don't know.
It's probably sooner than that.
It was it wasn't my normal doctor, Dr. Culpepper.
It was it was a different doctor was the heart doctor.
And frankly, I think he's full of shit.
I mean, I listen to him.
But at the same time, it's this rinse repeat kind of language that he has.
Don't do this.
Don't do that.
I was like, bitch, we had this conversation last time I was here.
Right.
And I did all those things you said.
And we're still at the same point.
And I'm diligent about what I'm doing.
And he was like, you know, you know, you need to do this.
That I was like, look, I do Celtic salt.
And he was like, you need to do iodized salt if you do salt.
I don't recommend salt.
But if you do it, I'm like, why?
Because you need your iodine.
I do Brazilian nuts.
Those have more iodine than I need.
So it was just like he was kind of patting me on every little thing I do.
It's like, look, yeah, I just you know, what do you suggest if I've done all this?
We've had this conversation before that you don't remember.
You know, what do you suggest?
You had mentioned intermittent fasting at one point.
How do you feel about that?
So I started doing it.
So on Mondays, I don't eat Mondays.
So Sunday night, I have dinner at all.
Zero.
A Sunday night, I go to bed and I don't eat until Tuesday morning.
But you drink water.
Oh, yeah, I drink lots of water.
I drink tea.
I will drink coffee.
I have a cup of coffee.
And then I drink a lot of water and I have a lot of hot tea.
So I do hot teas and I'll have like cayenne pepper mixed in there with a little bit of
honey and and some lemon.
Lemon is kind of key, too, because lemon supposed to like feed your liver.
Do you drink pureed rib eyes?
No, I like pureed.
Let me tell you, it's it's not that bad.
Around around the time Emily start to cook dinner is the time where I really I'm like
you got to run away.
Fuck.
Yeah.
You know, you don't want to smell it.
You don't want to know.
But I just pushed through it, you know, and it's just like, you know, and, you know, even
she was like, what?
Who's going to know?
And I was like, I'm going to know.
That's horrible support.
Come on, you know, you know, you want to know.
You know, it smells great.
But I'm going to know.
And look, and I've been sticking to it.
So I'm like this is like the third week in a row where I've done.
I want I was I was told to do two days, but I'm not doing two days.
Not two days in a row, but just two separate days.
And I tried doing the second day and it's a little tough.
It's it's not that I it's just you know, right now I'm going to do I'm going to do one day,
one Mondays and just the rest of the week I'm going to be like like I had to fast on brisket
night.
That's what you should do on Sundays.
I just slapped the shit out of you in my mind.
It's about to become brisket season again.
I'll be excited.
I don't know if you heard that clap with the the the the pocket of my palm.
Did you say brisket?
That would be tough, man.
It would be tough.
But I would tell you what's happening.
Your stomach is shrinking.
Well it's that.
But that's huge.
What it's shrinking.
And then as it shrinks, when you eat the next time, you don't eat as much because you don't
need to.
You're full.
That's part of it, too.
I'm not overeating in but a lot of it's like I'm being very selective.
I'm look I'm being selective on what I'm eating now.
I'm really trying to fucking make an effort.
I'm so disappointed that I'm I'm at the state in which I am going to fifty four years old.
That's good.
I'm disappointed because, you know, I just I take it.
You know what?
It takes getting pissed off.
That's what it is.
I'm pissed off and I'm I'm I'm frustrated with every.
You guys I'm frustrated with all the propaganda.
This works.
That works.
Hey, take this and it's going to show the way right off.
Take this.
It's going to show the way right off.
It can be all shit.
All of you motherfuckers.
OK, I'll tell you.
I told you this before.
Barbara O'Neill is someone that I've started listening to a lot.
I don't know who it is.
Barbara O'Neill is like she's just a doctor.
Mr. Producer Barbara O'Neill.
She she's just I want to say I'm not necessarily a holistic doctor, but she was like a nonbeliever
of some of the traditional.
She was she's a doctor to start with.
OK, she became ill or something and she started coming up and she found God and she quotes
a lot of literature from the Bible and she says that the Bible mentions that God put
all the elements on Earth to serve man.
Yes, everything that you need.
And you think about things that are are happening.
And I'll bring up one example like dandy lines, for example.
Danny lines are supposed to be super good for you.
They're supposed to be super good for your health.
And the people that make heart pressure medicine are the same people that make the dandy.
So dandy lines are good for your heart.
OK, and then you have the people like the weed eater people.
What are the scots?
No, there's a specific.
They are do they make.
Oh, you're talking about the like the law.
The the the law.
Yeah, the weed killer was a round up round up.
So the same parent company that owns Roundup owns the pharmaceuticals.
Right.
So it's just like it.
It's a total conflict.
Yeah.
When you but when you see that, you're kind of like, all right, well, God put all this
stuff on Earth for us to use.
And it's just like and these motherfuckers are trying to kill it.
Right.
Well, the killer is trying to kill it.
Right.
And these motherfuckers are trying to kill it, right?
They can't make money off of it.
Yeah.
Well, it's just so how do you piss me off?
So what do you say?
I'm going to go pick dandy lines out of my backyard.
I was going to say, I'm just saying munch on it like a dog munches on.
No, but look, that's not what I'm saying.
What I'm saying is that we have the tools that are at our disposal.
We have a very abundant plentiful even if I were to go to the doctor now and I would
speak to Dr. Culpepper and I would say all these things that I just mentioned and more.
He would say, yeah, but they don't teach that in in doctor school.
That's right.
And it's not a it's not a proven science.
It's not an FDA approved treatment.
That is the more accurate answer.
I wish he would say, but he doesn't say that.
He says it's not a proven science.
Right.
And to me, that's bullshit.
You know, it is bullshit and it kind of frustrates me.
Now there's the guy, Dana White.
Is he the yes.
Did you hear what he was talking about?
These general surgeons that he's going to and he was listening to for his entire life
and he was kind of like, oh, yeah, you need to be on this medicine.
You need to be on that medicine is like, you know what?
Fuck them all.
Right.
He doesn't go to the doctor anymore.
It's like, fuck it.
He knows.
Guess what?
My shoulder hurts.
I go to the shoulder doctor.
If my stomach hurts, I go to the stomach doctor.
Right.
Fuck all these people.
I'm not taking.
I eat healthy.
I you know, and I do what I want.
And you know what?
And if something bothers me, I go and see a specific doctor.
But no more of these general surgeon, no more of these regular stupid pills to take, you
know, because these pills aren't proven like the cholesterol medicine.
You know, when you stop taking when you take these cholesterol medicine, you're shutting
down parts of your liver.
Yes.
OK, that's not normal.
You're shutting down the wrong part of your fucking body.
OK, the cholesterol you need to be you're shutting down your cholesterol.
You're hurting your liver.
Yeah.
And it's not even your liver's fault.
That's your it's some other parts.
All you're doing is treating the symptom and not understanding holistically why it's happening.
And that's kind of where I'm at right now.
And I'm frustrated.
I'm on the cusp of getting off some of my medicines because the medicines that I'm taking
make you fat.
Right.
So they make you.
Yeah, they do.
And and so I'm like, well, and I've even gone on to the point where my blood pressure is
fine.
So I'm going to continue to eat good.
And I take my medicine.
I suppose take it every single day.
Right.
I take it one out of three days.
OK.
You're talking about heart, blood pressure, blood pressure, all of it across the board
because I was I've got like fucking 12, 14 pills.
I take every day.
Yeah.
You know, I got them all lined up and I sit there painstakingly.
I load them up on this little thing.
And I'm at a point now where I was taking them every single day.
And sometimes I'll take them like two days in a row and I'll skip a day and I'll take
it one day and I'll skip a day.
And the whole idea is all the standard stuff like, you know, blood pressure, cholesterol.
OK.
So there's like the prescribed.
I mean, the prescribed stuff is blood pressure.
OK.
Cholesterol.
And there's one for the stomach acid inhibitor.
OK.
You have acid reflux.
Yeah.
And then really the rest of them is like, you know, salmon.
Supplements.
Omega three.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, I add them to my diet, but I take supplements too.
But there's CoQ10.
But there's 10.
I mean, there's tons that I take, you know, like you guys saw when I was having deficiencies
in my palms where there was itching like a motherfucker and I'd have all these lotions
out, you know, people like, oh, you're doing your lotions.
And then I get my blood test taken and I find out I look at the blood test and I say, what
about deficient in?
And I start I look at those things I was deficient in and I order them and I took it and God
bless it within like a month and a half, two months, my shit was gone.
Right.
And so was it because I was deficient in that?
I don't know.
But you know what?
As a result, it has not come back.
Right.
OK.
So that's my plan right now.
Well, for one thing, you taking charge of your health, there are so many people that
just, you know, I'm just, you know, I don't know.
I don't care.
I'm not going to do research.
I'm not going to listen to my body.
I'm just going to do whatever the doctor says.
I'm just going to take whatever pills that they give me.
Let me let me tell you something else.
I applaud you.
I applaud you for taking charge of your health.
Thank you.
Good for you.
And I think all of our listeners are dudes like us should do that.
We should be aware of our bodies and take charge of our health.
I will tell you one more thing, because, you know, since I'm sharing, I'll tell you this
stuff that really bothers me as as Sean, you know, is that, you know, I grew up, I was diagnosed
with ADD a long time ago.
Now, you know, people like, oh, ADD doesn't exist, blah, blah, blah, whatever.
You know what?
I have attention deficit disorder.
Is it a disorder?
I have attention deficit.
I don't want to call it disorder.
I have a hard time focusing.
Sure.
And a lot of people are like, oh, just let it go right on the yard.
Yeah, that may apply to some people.
But I tell you what, being with a job that I currently have, I know for a fact, I have
a difficult time sitting for an hour, just just sitting there for, you know, because
my job is basically essentially writing.
That's what I do.
I write reports.
That's what I do.
And it's difficult to do that.
I have to like write for like 30 minutes, get up, go walk around, do some laps.
Thank God I have to take a lot of phone calls and I will literally walk around my house
and laps doing that.
I'll sit down, write a little bit more.
I'll go kill people on video games and then I'll come back.
But you know, one of the things that really bothers me right now with the whole ADD thing
is this is tied in with the procrastination and dudes like us out there may be affected
by procrastination.
But I am so affected.
I have an office that I have been trying to put together, fucking put together.
I've got all the raw materials to do it.
I want to do some reclaimed wood program and all I need to do is finish it.
Yeah.
You know, I just I ordered the LED lights to fit for the valances up and down and I've
got basically almost everything.
I bought the paint for the wall.
I got almost everything.
I just need to do it.
And it's just it's frustrates me because how long have you?
How long?
It's been four years, right?
Let me ask you this.
So instead of I mean, when you have free time, when and you consider yourself procrastinating,
what are you doing?
Well, I am not setting a good example for my kids by not doing the things that will
make me stop procrastinating.
Right.
Well, I mean, but you're letting things linger, I guess, projects that are unfinished, you
know, you know, things like that.
That's essentially what it is.
But my point is, but what are you doing instead of that?
What is occupying your time?
Well, honestly, what work?
OK, really, I think I have to because of my brain, I believe I have to work harder or
I have to work harder than most people have to work to get the same job done.
I believe so.
To me, that's not procrastination.
That's work life balance.
Right.
But it justified, like you said, the ADD, you're having to work harder, which means you have
your work life balance is, you know, not optimal because you know, it takes longer for you
to work than it does.
It does.
And that's a fact because it just like I don't know if Jeff, you have that issue.
You know, your job is a little different.
You're more reactive.
I think, you know, a lot of phone calls.
God bless.
I mean, I make a lot of phone calls, but they're different.
You know, mine are I just it's just different.
And, you know, there is some honesty, man.
When I am done, you know, I like the last thing I want to do is is paint the fucking
office.
Sure.
You know, that applies for all of us, right?
Even when I'm done work and I'm like, you're done.
The kitchen's a wreck.
I need to clean it.
I don't want to do that right now.
Right.
I need to go do the laundry.
I don't want to do that.
I want to sit on my ass for a little bit and do nothing.
Right.
Yeah, that's kind of what I feel.
That's that's that's energy.
And I got to applaud you, Paul, because you have you run on different batteries.
You discussed me in but at the same time, I'm happy for you.
I do have I do have a different motor.
I have I have a I have a perpetual list that I keep that that if I've got downtime, if
I don't have I mean, right now I'm in between jobs.
Right.
So I've got tons of.
Oh, I'm trying to capitalize off that.
I'm trying to assign you things.
Well, yeah, I get it.
I get it.
And so I've got I've got a lengthy list and I just I attack the list every day.
I wake up.
I go to bed thinking, what are my top priorities?
What am I going to knock out?
First thing, what am I going to how am I how can I be efficient if I have to leave the
house?
What are the three things I've got to do outside the house?
I'm going to do them.
Boom, boom, boom.
In what order I go, I go I'm going to make a circle like I plan where I'm driving to
be efficient.
And then like how much can I squeeze in?
I got lunch with some friends.
OK, I can squeeze in these two things before I go to lunch.
I can do the one on the way back and I can do a motorcycle ride.
You know what?
Four and a half hours.
I do it, though.
You know what?
And look, I go on long motorcycle and I want to sound like a dickhead, but it pisses me
off when you go on your long rides.
I get it.
And you know, it has it has nothing to do with me being angry at you.
It's kind of like, fuck, I wish I had time.
I wish I could do something like that.
But again, I but I also I'm efficient.
You know what I mean?
I look at my list and I go, OK, I've got I've got eight things on the list.
I'm going to knock out four of them.
And when I do, boom, I'm on the bike.
You know what I mean?
So it's not like I'm on the bike and go, fuck, I didn't do anything today.
I wouldn't say any of that.
You know what I mean?
Right.
No, I know.
I know.
That's why I want to get my battery powered tricycle so I can like just ride around the
neighborhood.
Yeah, I've just I've got a different motor, man.
And I haven't I don't always have it.
Sometimes, you know, I feel lazy just like you guys.
I run out of like, hey, we're over the garage working wood.
Too far.
It's a long way to drive, bro.
I want I want the first of all, with the Mr.
Producer just pulled up the battery powered tricycle, so number one, I do not want to
buy it.
Pull that first one up.
Look at the electric XP trike.
Regardless, see the ones with the little tassels, the not the nipple tassels, but you know how
the seat sits up on a peg?
Look at the box that scares the shit out of me.
You don't want to peg up the butt.
I it will not get one of those.
It's got to be a very specific.
Is that the one the nudist call on the tricycle that you were on?
Well, those were displayed over the seat.
You said you like that.
Yeah, you look at that one.
Oh, my God.
It's got a little bench.
That's a grocery store cart.
Well, I don't know about that.
So what seats are available that don't have the peg up the butt like that?
No, I'm not.
It's like a nice part walking.
We explained your your fascination or your plan here that you want a battery powered
tricycle.
Man, I'm just I'm just thinking, you know, I mean, I mean, I hate the word tricycle because
it sounds like it's a trach.
It sounds like, you know, little kid tassels and the Jing Jing Jing Jing Jing.
They make look there's a look.
I bet Mr. Producer type it off road.
Let's man this up a little bit.
So the ones I've been looking at have like they have like meaty baskets in the back,
you know, like for hauling like you're going to have going up to the hardware store, you
know, and you go throw some logs back there.
Like it's funny you mentioned that I've seen so many guys with with tricycles up at at
Harbor Freight.
Do they have like a trike plug in when you roll out?
Oh, yeah.
They got a charging station.
Yes.
That's a big manly basket in the back.
Look at that.
Look at Mr. Producer just pops up.
Let me see.
This one's got a basket in the front and on the back.
Oh, I see.
But it's got a pole pole butt thing.
I'll pull what up the butt?
Yeah, it's got the seat that you don't know.
There's your truck.
Two front wheels.
How stupid is that?
Stupid.
It's kind of silly.
You're so mean, Jeff.
Yeah.
Well, whatever ultimate off road vehicle right there.
Oh, hold on.
Go up a little bit in the red wagon up a little bit more there on the right.
What is that?
This is the power, the battery powered electric cargo truck.
Red three wheel tricycle looks like a little frickin ice cream stand.
You know, six to eight hours.
Well, you know.
All right.
So the idea of this is that most things that I want to do are relatively close within five
miles of the house.
So it seems to me like a feasible thing to do.
How fast those things go?
Like 80?
I'd say I don't know.
20 to 30 miles per hour.
Yeah.
Well, I think on the highway, then 80 inches.
I would go on the highway.
I honestly I'd probably ride the sidewalks and just, you know, I'd probably stay out
of the traffic.
Are you allowed to?
I don't think you're allowed to ride.
I don't think you're allowed to either.
Why not?
Because you can't ride on a sidewalk.
It's motorized.
You can ride a.
Yeah, I could ride my bike if I was pedaling on the sidewalk.
You can't ride in an electric bike on a sidewalk.
I don't think so.
You definitely need to get a certificate from the city.
So here's the thing.
If it doesn't require a license plate.
Yes.
Then why would you not require a license plate?
I don't know.
How do you know?
Well, I hate to say this, but we're shitting all over your tricycle electric train.
I mean, I'm still going to not do it, but I mean, I'm going to want to.
I want to do it.
I mean, if I had the disposal income, I'd do it.
What's holding you back from this trike dream?
I was trying to find the one I wanted.
You know what?
I would like to accomplish.
I want to try accomplishing things one at a time.
You know, I want to finish the office before I start tackling other stuff because I got
a habit of opening 15 projects at once and not completing any of them.
So if you start by finishing what you're talking about before the podcast ends.
Very good.
