Man, getting all loaded up here.
Got our beers ready to go, got our bourbon ready to go, and we're ready to do this podcast.
Very nice.
Kind of a delayed start today.
We have Frisco, Texas storms going on right now.
Who knows?
Could be tornadoes out there, could be baseball-sized hail.
Well, somewhat, Paul, you said that you heard that there was a, or is it Julie, downstairs
there was a tornado in college close to us.
That's maybe a mile away?
Not even.
Tornado?
Yeah, touchdown.
Touchdown in the parking lot of Collin County College.
And the alarms have been going off, or the sirens have been going off.
It's been an exciting evening.
Tell you what, you know, storms are very unforgiving.
I mean, weather in general.
I try not to, yeah, I try not to take it too serious because if it's going to happen, it's
going to happen.
You're like, you're dead either way.
Well, I look at it this way.
There's no point in laying in the tub in the...
Well, here in North Texas, you don't have basements unless you're paying out the ass
to do it.
And the tornadoes are so large in this area, it takes the entire house.
So if that happens and you're in an inside room, you're still gone.
It doesn't matter, yeah.
You're still gone.
I mean, OK, but you're assuming an F5, right?
That's what I mean.
Those big ones?
There's F1s and F2s that kind of tear pieces of your house off.
Correct.
Yeah, the internal rooms will help you there.
But if it's big enough, I remember being down here and there was a tornado that went through,
I think it was called Jeremy or Joshua or something like that south of us on the way
to Waco.
And I remember seeing the news footage.
Jasper.
Was it Jasper?
Yeah.
Well, no, it wasn't.
I think it was Waco.
It was...
Anyway, it was somewhere down there.
And they showed the neighborhood, all their just foundations left.
Just slabs.
Yeah.
Those left.
Like seven houses in a row.
Let's do a quick ID real quick.
It's March 14th.
It's a Thursday, March 14th, the Ides before St. Patrick's Day coming up around the corner.
It is the Ides of March.
Yes, it is the Ides of March coming up, too.
We've got, yeah, technically, it's...
No, we've got one and a half more days.
Our producer's not with us tonight, Mr. Austin.
He is playing D&D.
Oh, nice.
Dungeons and Dragons.
Yeah, he was just like, yeah, dabby, do this Thursday.
Sorry.
That's all right.
I love that he makes that a priority.
I grew up playing that.
Anyway, let's dig stuff.
So dudes like us, I'm Sean.
I'm Paul.
And I'm Jeff.
And it's Stormin.
It is.
It's Stormin Norman.
They're predicting baseball-size hail.
I don't know how the hell they can predict that.
And they always exaggerate.
It goes from nickel to quarter to bowling ball.
They exaggerate everything.
To basketball-size hail.
It's all about keeping the people down.
I mean, look...
In other words, it's to sensationalize so that you'll watch the weather.
Yeah.
Oh, let's watch it.
Let's get some extra advertising going on.
I mean, every time you get these little...
Look, hurricanes happen, tornadoes happen, baseball-size hail happens, but you can't
predict a lot of this stuff.
It's just they want viewership, and it's just bullshit because, I mean, think about all
the hurricanes that have come up on the coast that have been dismissed.
I would say 19 out of 20.
That's why the people don't leave.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm not going to evacuate.
It's not going to be a big deal.
They call that too many false alarms, right?
Yeah, what do they call that?
Peter the Wolf?
Yeah.
No, the man...
The crying wolf?
The kid who cried wolf.
Yeah.
Not Peter the Wolf, but the kid who cried wolf.
What was his name, Peter?
Yeah.
He was probably Dick.
And you know what the first responders do?
Because, like, you're right.
There are people that refuse to leave.
And so they ask them to take a marker and write their name.
Permanent marker, yes.
Yeah, permanent marker.
And their name and address, I guess they're identifying information because if they find
their body floating around and they're dead, they can figure out who they are pretty quickly.
And I'm like, damn.
Well, it's the reality.
It is the reality.
Yeah.
Unless the gator gets it.
And that has happened.
I mean, people just assume false alarms and it's not...
What if your arm gets ripped off?
Oh, good point.
Or an alligator eats it.
Or an alligator eats it and you're just an armless cadaver floating in the water.
And they're like, damn it, the one arm we told them to mark.
Jesus.
That got dark in a hurry, man.
Oh, you're the one right on that.
I guess you're right.
I guess so.
Yeah.
Speaking of bringing up, I was thankful about what you said.
I was talking about...
I was kind of disappointed because yesterday my son Preston came into town for a couple
of days, by the way.
Cool.
I was very excited.
He just showed up.
I was outside working, doing some stuff.
I started working on my office.
Oh, wow.
Getting all that stuff.
I was processing all that wood.
I painted the office.
I added a layer of LED strips on the bottom.
I was about to add to the top, but time ran out.
Man, I'm launching it.
I'll tell you what, Paul, I blame you.
Good.
I'll talk about that in just a second.
That you got it all done, you mean.
No, well, no.
I will share with you.
You're...
Look, dudes like us out there...
His to-do list.
...have ADD.
It is your to-do list.
I have a to-do list, but I don't take it serious.
I'm kind of like, eh, eh, eh.
Yeah, I'll get to it whenever.
Now I'm kind of like, fuck that.
Because I have downtime.
Everyone has downtime.
There's so much that we can do.
Sure, you can make time.
A lot of my downtime I spend being unproductive.
And I'm just kind of like, you know what?
I'm going to be productive.
And then...
Be you.
I started doing it.
I'm going to start taking it serious.
Because there are some things around the house that I have to get done.
It has to get done.
To the point where I'm embarrassed.
Right.
Got to.
Got to fix this shit.
Yep.
You know, my office is going to look bad ass, by the way.
Good.
I'm super excited.
Anyways, we were talking about the Dallas Cowboys.
Was it like a love den?
In the office?
Yes.
What did you say?
A love den?
No.
It's like a round bed rotating.
His crib.
His work crib.
Yes.
The curtain that comes down so no one can watch.
You all alone?
I've got like a mannequin with crotchless underwear.
Just vibrates.
Jesus Christ.
No.
So I've got...
I use reclaimed wood.
I cut all the wood down to like three inch tall, two foot wide.
And just a bunch of different...
I've got like...
Dude, it's going to take 730 tiles to do my office.
Wow.
That's a lot.
On the walls.
I think you just have to accumulate some.
I have picked up a bunch more.
And I processed all that cedar.
And there's a bunch of stuff I can do.
I even have metal.
You know, I've got the metal little things in there.
So...
Well, you said you sent a picture and you stripped some down.
Then you said that there's some leftovers that we could use for framing, I think, right?
Yeah.
Or did that get tossed?
No, it didn't get tossed.
It may be used.
Meaning...
I'm not sure yet.
Oh, that's fine.
We've got to finish up.
No, but hopefully it is leftover because it's the perfect stuff we need.
Right.
You know, so I probably want...
What I'll probably end up doing, which is a smart thing to do, is I'll probably bring
that over here and then I'll rummage through what you have that's more conducive to use
over there.
Because those are perfect for framing.
They're the perfect size.
Well, I'm glad you're getting after it, man.
You've been talking about that for a long time.
Yeah.
That's good.
Yep.
In fact, the kids are kind of charged about it, too.
They're kind of like, oh, man.
Pretty cool looking.
Yeah.
Excited.
Are you nude when you do all this?
And they're painting?
So you don't get your clothes painted?
Well, you have to, right?
No.
I don't have a shirt on.
I don't have a nude.
I do everything nude.
I have to have shoes because I have to go up and down a ladder.
So just paintless.
And I'm on the ladder.
So what I really hate is when my balls or dick gets stuck on the rungs of a ladder.
Okay.
Yeah.
It kind of gets wrapped around.
It's kind of a deal breaker for it.
No, no, no.
When I was working on my car, I was nude.
I didn't want to get grease all over my clothes.
That's what I mean.
Yeah.
Just...
Jesus Christ.
What?
What's wrong?
So we were talking about the Dallas Cowboys in their drafting, and you said they drafted
somebody today?
Eric Kendricks.
Not drafting.
We're talking about free agency.
Yeah.
Well, so they won't...
No pickups.
So who is this guy?
Eric Kendricks.
He's a linebacker from Minnesota.
He played for the Vikings.
Yeah.
It even hit the news that the Cowboys have a lot of cap to work with, and they have not
been active in free agency yet.
And so that was like kind of what's going on with them.
Right.
So is there something to be said about them trying to make the players that currently have
step up?
Or is it...
Well, the Bengals are...
I mean, to re-sign them, you're saying?
The Bengals have been semi-quiet as well.
Not all the teams are super active.
Well, the Titans are, man.
Yeah, the Titans are.
But we don't have run-of-backs.
But they need to be, right?
They need to be.
But we don't have run-of-backs.
Cowboys don't have run-of-backs.
They have Deuce Vaughn.
We don't have run-of-backs.
He's fun to watch, though.
Who are the most highly touted free agency running backs that are out there right now?
I think they're all gone.
Nixon went from Cincinnati to the Texans, and then the Bengals picked up...
We don't need the Texans to be better, man.
They are going to be better.
That's not good.
They're going to be really, really good.
They're going to be better next year.
I know it.
And who else?
Tony Pollard went to the Texans.
No, the Titans.
Pollard went to the Titans.
To the Titans, all right.
And then Derek Henry...
Derek Henry went to Baltimore, which they didn't need to be any better.
And the Bengals got Zach Moss.
Oh, nice.
From Buffalo?
No, from Indianapolis, who he had a good year last year.
Oh, he used to be with Buffalo.
He was with the Colts last year.
Right.
He was one of my guys, and he got me some really good points.
Yes, he's great.
Yeah.
He's hard to stop.
Yeah, he's a good guy.
And the Bengals picked him up?
Bengals picked him up.
As the replacement for Joe Mixon?
Correct.
Very nice.
Yeah, it's been an active...
It's been fun.
The Titans are in a rebuilding, right?
So they're adding all these weapons.
They picked up Calvin Ridley from the Jags.
He screwed me over.
Yeah, but they're saying he was the most highly touted free agency wide receiver.
I was like, really?
I think he's kind of mentally sketchy.
Yeah, yeah, he took a year off from football to get his mind set.
But he had a great year last year.
Well, he was gambling real bad.
Oh, that's right.
He got caught.
That's right.
So he got suspended, and then he quit.
And you're not allowed to gamble playing a football player?
No.
Not on your own team.
Not on your sport.
Oh my God, so you can't gamble.
You can't beat women up.
You can't do drugs.
Well, what can they do?
I mean, what the hell?
They do all that.
They just get fined.
Right.
And then they're welcome back.
So yeah, he kind of flaked out for a while.
He had a good year last year, though.
He had a good year.
Yeah.
So I'm excited.
I mean, you know, it's an offensive weapon.
Titans need that.
And we need offensive line help.
We got some of that as well.
So the Cowboys, they've been active.
They've released Tyron Smith.
And they lost Tyler by Adish, the center.
Right.
And the Cowboys are losing their key offensive line guys.
Great.
Yeah, that's active.
Right.
Yeah.
So they're active.
They're just...
I'm wondering what their end game is.
Or unless their challenges or maybe it's not.
OK, so it's not like the NBA.
The bottom doesn't get first pick.
This is a lottery, right?
No, they, I mean...
No, it's based off a record.
Yeah.
Well, the draft, when is the draft?
That's in May, isn't it?
It's got to be coming up relatively soon.
April or May.
Yeah.
All right.
So the only thing that's going to tell you how bad your record was is where you draft.
Unless you trade someone from previous years for their number one.
So that's what I'm thinking.
Maybe they're purposely, maybe they got some backroom deals up.
Hey, we're not going to sign free agent Nixon.
We'll let you guys have them.
And we'll just, you know, you give us your...
And they'll trade up in the draft.
Maybe, I don't know.
Who knows?
But I know Jerry Jones has got an ace up his sleeve.
I mean...
He's a very smart football GM, though.
Yeah.
So maybe he doesn't.
Maybe you guys are screwed.
Is he a GM, though?
Yeah, he's the GM of the company.
He's everything.
Yes.
That's part of the problem.
Yeah.
Everything has changed except him.
Right.
If they haven't improved in, what, 94 was their last, 95 was their last playoff?
Yeah.
Almost 30 years.
Yeah.
Right.
Not good.
Shut up, Jeff.
I'm just saying.
Just like our boys have never seen a good Cowboys team.
Actually, the regular season, they've had good seasons.
Yeah, they had a great season.
But they just...
And last year they had a great season, didn't they?
They just can't...
Oh, that was a painful playoff.
Yeah.
And we lost Dan Quinn, which I think is okay.
We got Mike Zimmer.
I like Mike Zimmer better.
He's the offensive coordinator?
He's the defensive coordinator.
He was the defensive coordinator when the Cowboys were good, I believe.
And then he went to the Bengals for a while and then he went to Minnesota for a while.
Yeah.
Now, he's got Kand in every place as a head coach.
I think he...
There's certain people who I think are assistant coach people, like Mike Zimmer.
I think Dan Quinn is not a real good head coach.
Right.
I think Wade Phillips is an outstanding offensive coordinator as a head coach.
I don't think he's there, but he's brilliant as an offensive coordinator.
Right.
I think he's really good.
Yeah.
I mean, it's what their skills are, right?
Yeah.
What their strengths are.
I think certain folks are good at positional people and it takes a different level to be
a head coach because you have to bring it all together.
Yeah.
All right.
So there's some excitement happening in the NFL.
I mean, you guys aren't into any other sports, are you?
NBA, you guys don't really follow?
No.
I stopped following that.
What about you guys, hockey?
You guys don't follow hockey?
I want to get into hockey.
I would like to, too.
I love hockey.
I played hockey as a kid.
I enjoy hockey.
When the Dallas Stars first got here, I was all into it.
I dig it.
Yeah.
Just time, family, life took over.
Yeah.
So the playoffs should be coming up relatively soon, right?
The Stars are doing well this year.
That's what I'm saying.
So we should pay attention to the Stars.
They're probably trying to go to a game.
At least watch them.
You can't even go to the local team.
Oh, the Frisco Fighters.
By the way, are we going or not?
You guys didn't respond to me.
Well, you know what?
I didn't have no reason to respond.
I thought we were going out of town that weekend.
No.
Well, not Friday and Saturday, just Saturday.
So now we're not doing that.
We're going to the Plano whiskey thing.
That's right.
We've got to buy those tickets, by the way.
And it's only for two hours.
But they have live music.
Well, you have to choose.
The Plano.
So what is it?
It's the Spirit of Texas Plano Whiskey Tasting.
And when you go in to buy tickets, you have to choose your two-hour block.
11 to 1, 1 to 3.
So basically, you go there.
There's live entertainment.
There's bands playing.
You hang out.
You drink, have some drinks.
And then when it's your time to go in and taste, you go taste.
And then you come back out and you eat food.
I have no idea.
I think it's like that.
That's what it sounds like to me.
So it sounds like we need to buy.
We need to buy like two or three rounds of tickets so we can go in there for six hours.
30 bucks a pop.
So that's like.
I thought it was 20 bucks a pop.
There's 30 bucks a pop.
Well, then I can go for four hours.
I mean, you don't have to go multiple times.
You could drink whatever you want.
Two hours.
That's still a long time.
There's only 16.
Right.
So that's a lot more than that.
No, it was like 16.
And they're all Texas based, right?
Yeah, they're all Texas.
So that's it's not all like Rebecca's Creek's not there.
Still, Austin's not there.
That's too bad.
But 1845 will be 1845 is there.
Yes, I definitely want to go 1845.
Flower crossing.
Yeah, exactly.
I don't know.
Balcones is going to be there.
Lockwood's going to be there.
Yep.
Iron Roots going to be there.
I mean, there's some good ones.
Yellow.
It's a fun experience.
Right.
Which is the one you had.
Yeah, it's one of your favorites.
The 10 year.
Yellow Rose, Sean.
Yeah, it was the the special anniversary of the 10th year.
When we go, you can ask them to go, I need the 10 year, please.
Pull that out from underneath the table.
I need the anniversary, 10 year anniversary.
You know, I went with those guys.
I reached out to them.
You know what they said?
They were like, well, you got to search really hard in the stores and see if you can find
it.
They said S.A.D. did they?
Oh, my God.
I was like, you sons of bitches.
All right.
So that's Saturday.
But Friday.
Hold on before that.
So 1845, it's the Andalusia Whiskey Company.
Did I say that right?
Yes.
Austin 101.
Balcones.
Balcones is going to be there.
OK.
Bent over.
I'm sorry.
Bent distilling.
That's here locally.
Devil's River.
We have got some Devil's River.
Garrison's Brother.
Nice.
Giant Texas Distilling.
Iron Root.
This is called Bread.
Iron Wolf Ranch and Distillery.
Is that the one?
Iron Root's got some good stuff.
Lockwood.
We've got some Lockwood.
Oh, can't eat in.
We've got some of that too.
Spirit of Texas Brew.
Bustlery.
That's weird.
Spirit of Texas Bustlery.
Texas Tail Distilling.
Yellow Rose Distilling.
I looked at that spirit of Texas and it's pretty small.
They sell vodka, a whiskey.
I don't know how old it is.
Oh, you've been to the distillery?
No, I went to the website.
Oh.
I just click on the website and they have.
Oh, look at me.
Yeah, I've been to their website.
And then they have like Moonshine or whatever it is.
I've been to the website.
Yeah.
I visited them on the web.
Right.
All right, so anyway, we're doing that Saturday, but the Friday before, guys, we can go to
a Frisco Fighters game.
We've been talking about it for years.
Well, we can never make it happen.
Well, let's line it up.
Why don't you get the tickets and then force the hand.
All right, I'll do that.
Because no matter what will go, I don't give a shit.
I'll go.
I'll get started.
Yeah.
There's also a couple of other things we need to discuss and make a decision on.
There's some concerts coming up.
Oh, I really want like to go to the Sammy Hagar Van Halen thing in August.
The only thing holding me back is is that a no, it's where we saw the foreigner cover
band.
I need to get a air conditioned bodysuit.
Yes.
So it's an August.
No.
Yeah, I know.
Dozekis, right?
Dozekis.
Yeah, I was so fucking hot in that place.
I thought I was going to die.
That's the only reason I've really I've been holding back.
I thought I was going to die.
I had to literally get up and walk around.
Why would they do it?
Why did they do it in April or May?
I don't know.
Why in August for an open air stadium?
I don't know.
It doesn't make sense.
Or arena, whatever.
But the foreigner cover band sucked.
I mean, the music was good, but yeah, that experience was horrible.
I think I lost my sister came to that one.
Yeah, I think we all lost.
Yeah, I like your sister.
We had a lot of fun.
Yeah, she's cool.
She's very, very cool.
And the other one, which is also an August, but it's ever in Fort Worth, is Barry Manilow.
Really?
I wouldn't mind seeing him.
Barry Manilow.
He's like 95 years old.
He's 80.
But I've read reviews of his newest thing of concert.
He's like he's as good as he's ever been.
I actually like Barry Manilow.
I would go.
He broke a leg.
He's in a wheelchair.
No, they said that he sounds great, he's very energetic, and he puts on a fantastic show.
I write the songs that make the whole world sing.
Save it for the concert.
Tickets were, I think they started around the $50 mark maybe.
How much?
$50, I think.
That's not bad.
For the side seats.
More down in the middle, obviously.
I want to sit in the front.
I want to be able to smell him.
Oh, yeah.
His sweat flies all over you.
Yeah, actually, I take that back.
His man juice.
I want like 10 rolls back.
Man juice.
What are you thinking, shoot that far at 80?
Ah, stop.
His prostate is still good.
He's probably got enough money where, hell, didn't he have some sort of Las Vegas contract?
If his prostate's still good.
What did you call it?
He's got a good throw.
Throw.
He's got a throw.
That's what you said.
Oh, he's got throw.
He's very ejaculation.
Dude, he's got throw.
I've got throw.
That's so gross.
What is wrong with us?
Let me just.
Anyway, so there's two, but they're both in August.
I think Barry's on a Wednesday and it's over in Fort Worth at.
Barry.
You got that.
Barry, yeah, Barry's playing over in Fort Worth.
I don't know about that, man.
Let's go see Barry.
That's kind of.
My wife and I will probably go.
I just wanted to bring it up to you guys if you.
So it's on a.
So you're going to spend the night out there?
No, I wouldn't.
I'm not getting drunk at a Barry Manilow concert.
Dude, if I go to Barry, I'm getting.
Shit raged.
Absolutely.
How do you do that?
Bladder all the way.
I will bring all the lyrics to every song he has and I will sit there and read them
and sing.
That's what Jeff and I did at one of the concerts at Revel.
Remember that?
You had the lyrics.
Yeah, he pulled them on the phone.
I remember we were looking at the lyrics, singing it.
What band was that?
Who was it?
I don't remember, but it is.
I think we were trying to show you up or something like that.
Like we knew all these lyrics.
I don't remember the band.
Was it Sticks or something like that?
I don't remember what it was either, but it was a lot of fun.
Was I there?
Or were you?
Yeah, you were there.
Oh, OK.
OK.
I need to.
Oh, I wasn't sure what was going on.
I thought I heard some noises.
We thought maybe more tornado sirens maybe.
So I think we're clear right now.
We checked the.
What's that?
Well, he goes and blows his nose.
Yeah, is that code or something?
Code or something?
God, I hope not.
You know, just let that go.
So anyways, so the Dallas Cowboys, I don't know what's going to happen.
You know, your Titans are getting they're getting a nice fresh.
Yeah, the rebuilding Pollard got Pollard.
We got to be good for a little bit.
We got Ridley.
We got we have a new quarterback.
We have a new coaching staff.
I mean, everything's new and they're going to suck.
Probably.
They're probably 500 ball at best, but they're brand new.
Everything's brand new.
It's kind of exciting.
We've turned a corner into a new era.
Somebody got Jerry Judy and I enjoy that.
Was that the Browns?
Browns got Jerry Judy.
He was the Broncos, right?
Yeah, he was.
Yeah.
And Russ Russell Wilson.
Russell Wilson got let go.
So he didn't go anywhere.
No, he got let go.
So he's current.
Oh, no, he did get picked up by.
Who was that as a starter?
Or as a backup?
He's only get paid like a million bucks a year by whoever picked him up.
And then Denver's having to pay like thirty five, eight million dollars a year.
Yeah, because it was a stupid contract.
So he didn't play there for two years, did he?
So we've got the two thousand twenty four NFL free agent tracker.
This was updated two hours ago.
Yeah, number one ranked was Kirk Cousins.
You know, he's been four years for a hundred hundred eighty.
I would not pay that guy.
He went to the Falcon.
He's made so much money in his career for mediocrity.
Kirk Cousins.
He was with Washington.
He did OK, went to Minnesota, just banked.
His contract was huge.
And then did you know, it's he's middle of the road quarterback, in my opinion.
Yeah, he's getting paid a shit ton.
He is.
I would agree with that.
So interesting.
All right.
So let's kind of feel up here.
Russell.
Yeah, Chris Allen, Chris Jones from the Kansas City.
He resigned.
Look at that.
He resigned.
Josh Allen resigned for the Jacksonville.
Yeah.
Justin Madubuki.
T Higgins franchise tagged for twenty two million.
Yeah.
He's requesting a trade.
Mike Evans.
He resigned.
Baker Mayfield resigned.
He is not worth one hundred fifteen million dollars.
There's got to be a bunch of contingencies on that.
Probably.
Saquon Barkley, which the Eagles.
Oh, that was a big one.
That was a big one.
Calvin Ridley is a big one, too.
Go from Jacksonville to Tennessee.
Very nice.
I'm happy.
Yeah.
Taryn Smith still not picked up.
He could end up at the Cowboys again for a lower price if no one picks him up.
Bob Hunt.
Yeah, it's Jacob.
Running back.
So I guess you're not going to get him.
He went from the Raiders to the Green Bay.
Green Bay.
All right.
Matt McQueen went to the Steelers.
Chase Young.
He's he's has not done as well as I thought.
He was a beast when he was at Ohio State.
And it just didn't.
I mean, he's quite the specimen as well.
Large, fast, but for whatever reason, he hasn't translated to the NFL as an edge rusher.
There's quite a few that still TBD, though.
I mean, I know they're all kind of players.
There's an offensive tackle.
There's a Jonah Williams went to the cards wide receiver still out there.
OK, interesting.
Where did where did Russell Wilson go?
I don't see him on here yet.
Keep going.
Well, he's not ranked very high.
No, he's not at all.
Willie Gay went from the Chiefs to the Saints.
It seems appropriate.
Bill Gay.
Yeah, we lost the linebacker.
He went to Texas and the cornerback Sean Murphy.
He went from the Titans to Cardinals.
Sean Murphy, Bunting.
Bunting.
Yeah, he went to the tight.
He went left the Titans.
Yeah.
He went to the Redskins.
He's number 55.
Oh, there he is.
All right.
Anthony Pollard.
Nobody's picked up Odell.
Still out there.
Yeah.
Gabe Davis was a big one.
Jacksonville has potential.
Gabe Davis was pretty good last year.
They're good.
Jacksonville is good, man.
Yeah.
DeAndre Swift.
Twenty four million.
You know, he's a great guy.
He's a great guy.
I mean, the one million.
You know, Kevin Doston, he's through 48 million for three years.
I mean, these guys, I mean, how much is enough?
I mean, what was the least amount?
I mean, you know, they're basing it on comparable contracts and comparable skill level and years
in the league.
And, I mean, every single time you hear the news, though, somebody has a record deal.
Look at this guy.
Bobby Wagner, linebacker, 8.5 million for a year.
Oh, Bobby Wagner is.
He's good.
Bobby Wagner.
Wagner. He's going to the Redskins. I tell you what, the Redskins may be good. They also
picked up Austin Eckler. Yeah, they did. I see that. That was a big pickup right there
at the Office of Line Men for Tennessee. Dorrance Armstrong went to the Skins. They had some
good pickups. They have due ownership, that's why. Tana Hill's not going to get picked up.
Well, he'll be a backup somewhere. Anyway, there's still some people out there. Doesn't
look like much out there, but this is the top 100 list, right? Right. Yeah, where the
hell's Gardner Minshew went to the Raiders for $25 million? Are you kidding me? For two
years, yeah. So he left the Colt. Wow, that's a lot of money to spend. Right. I need to
find out where Russell, Russell, uh, Maryland, not Maryland, but, uh, fuck. So I'm excited.
I'm excited when that wraps up. I'm excited when the draft comes. Uh, and then, you know,
we can start to see how all this completes the pitcher and then, you know, then the,
then the off season starts for these teams. I'm excited about, uh, Anafil. He went to
the Steelers. Uh, Russell Wilson did, yeah. Yeah. As a backup. I don't know who was there.
Well, they have that guy from Pitt that's there. Oh yeah. Uh, God, what's his name?
So so in other words, he, he'll compete, right? He'll compete for a starting, starting role.
Yeah. I heard he's kind of a pre Madonna though. Who's that? Russell Wilson? Yeah. So it was
a huge deal that when he went to Denver, huge Russell says, right. Why did he get benched?
Is it Russell Wilson says Denver Broncos benched him for refusing contract, uh, refusing contract
change. Denver Broncos head coach, Sean Payton talks with quarterback. You know what? If I
was Russell, how old is he at this point? Right. Mid thirties. He's like, why am I going to
give up my 38 million when I probably have a couple of years left and then I am set.
Yeah. They just wanted him to restructure the contract so that they could sign other
people. Right. That's what they're talking about. Maybe if I was going to make the same
amount, but for a longer period, but I don't understand when they say, you know, cut your
contract, you know, give some of that money back. Oh, no, who's going to do that? That's crazy.
That's what I mean. No one's going to do that. See, to me, that should be his contract change
was renegotiate the contract to, you know, so they can bring more. I think we're still
paying Tony Romo, right? Exactly. Millions of dollars a year. Exactly. Not we always. Yes.
It's crazy. Eight, nine million bucks a year. That's what they do. They restructure. They say,
OK, you were supposed to get a hundred million dollars. Let's stretch that out over the next
20 years. Right. It's shocking how much money they have to throw away. I mean, they were talking
about if they, you know, when somebody becomes a free agent or they could become a free agent,
they have a certain amount of time to do something. And if they don't do it, they're
throwing they just throw away this and throw away that. Right. And by not by not doing it,
it was like a million dollars here, a million dollars there. Right. Just just throw it thrown
away. And, you know, apparently they can just do it hand over fist because they're making that
much money, which is sick. Right. But whatever it is. Maybe we should move on to super exciting news.
Oh, like what? Oh, super exciting. I can't see the board. Sean's. Well, the board over there.
If we see sports, if we speak, we have the NCAA tournament coming up. I know you guys don't get
into that, but the March Madness is always a fun thing. I'll pay attention. I know Texas A&M is
supposed to be decent. Texas Tech is pretty good. Yeah. I don't I think Cincinnati beat Kansas
yesterday. Oh, in their in the tournament play. Yeah, the tournament. Right now they're doing
the conference championships or the conference tournament. Yeah. Cincinnati's playing Baylor
tonight, I believe. Nice. But they beat Kansas, which is not supposed to happen. Pretty big deal.
OK. Yeah, they beat him by 20. Yeah, I need to I don't know the seeding. I don't know the projected
seeding. It's so that'll be exciting. I'm going to I don't pay attention to that. Yeah, I watched the
Yukon and Xavier game today and you can look quite impressive. They always do. You can't.
I think they're the number. I don't know if the right number one or two, but I think
I think they may have the team to beat this year. They won last year. Yeah, I think they're the
team to beat this year. And I know you guys are into the women's. But I well, I watch Caitlin
Clark. I enjoy it. She's great. She's a special player. It's fun to watch her play. What does she
play? She was she played for Iowa. Lacrosse. No, it's basketball. Oh, yeah. I mean, you got
with a guy who was playing and knocked her. Have you not seen the press on her? It's unbelievable.
She breaking all the records. She broke on her. She broke broke. Well, they don't like it.
Is that that white basketball player chick? Yes. I don't like it. She's white. You know, it's crazy
that when she she got she passed over the most points scored within a year season so far. And
when she tossed the bucket career that the yeah, is a career. Yeah. I mean, everyone clapped except
it was kind of just to me, it appeared to be racist. You know, it's like really?
You know, you look out there, the crowd, OK, and just like. I mean, burns of a feather flocked
together. Yeah, I will say they've been going ape shit about it. They've been, you know, she's breaking
all sorts of records. The number of three pointers made. Hopefully she passed that part. She passed
Pete Marovitch's. Well, I know she's good. Record. Yeah. The guy. I think I think the one thing that's
the sticker with her is her team's not very good. No, I was great. But they're not ranked at the top,
right? Oh, yeah. No, ranked second in the country. The top. Oh, number one. Yes. She's that good. Why
isn't she number one? Yeah, you're right. She's surrounded by people who suck. It's not her fault.
Yeah. I mean, that's one of the things I heard is, well, she doesn't want anything. Well, right.
She doesn't want a championship. Yes. But she's lost in the championship to LSU last year. So it's
not like they're not right there competing. But anyway, yes, that was a that was some knock against
her is that you're not a you're not a legend until you've won a ring. But what does that say about
Karl Malone and John Stockman or Dan? What does that say about Charles Barkley or Dan Marino?
I mean, that's bullshit. Or Ken Anderson. Yeah, that's a complete bullshit argument.
Boomer or Sison? Well, Boomer Sison. Kelly Smith. Wow. You know, a lot of people that haven't
David Claylor, whether all the Bengals, because they've never won. But have they? Did they? Oh,
they went to the Super Bowl. They've got the Super Bowl three times. I've lost to the 49ers twice.
And the who the hell did they play? The Rams? Rams this last time. The Titans have been there once
and lost to the Rams. And you know who that was? Kurt Warner, Mr. MVP, Mr. Unbelievable. I mean,
he was I'm gonna make a movie about you. He was unbelievable. With Isaac Bruce. Yeah,
as a person. They were good. They were phenomenal. Call them something. And we were one yard short.
And you know, it was funny because you I watched it and I was upset, but I was like, man, great year.
We were right there. You know, we'll be here next year. That was 2000. Who was the court? That was
that was 23 years ago. And they haven't even given close brushed it. I mean, they've gotten
to the playoffs tickled the balls. Wow. It's not really the phrase I would have used. It's not the
tenure. I know. Okay. I can't like talk on the mic and look at the same time. Yeah. Yeah. It's
difficult. Yeah. So the March Madness, I'll watch some because Stephen likes talking about it. Yeah,
it's fun. It's good stuff. It's intense, man, especially those first two days. Right. Which
craziness there's like playing games all day long. Oh, yeah. So that's that's one of the reasons why
I'm excited about not having a job right now. I can watch all I can actually sit there and spend
the entire day watching basketball. That'd be fun. Right. Anyway, which one is this? It's the
single barrel. Oh, no. What's it say on there? This is the the private to single barrel, right?
I think it's that one on the left. So the real one left. Are we ready to talk about this? Yes,
let's talk about our burbose. What are we drinking gentlemen? All right, we're drinking the private
barrel selection Russell's Reserve Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey. It's a 110 proof.
The red aged how long? But this is actually this is the bottle we have. This is so we I got the
the newer bottle. The old bottle is still sitting out there. It's a different label. It's a different
label, but it might be different proof and stuff. I mean, it's 110. It's 110 still. It's the same
stuff. Just brand new label. Yeah. Well, all right. So that's basically what it is. It's the private
one. It's it's 110 proof. The private barrel selection Russell's Reserve. Let's let me see.
You guys talk for a second. This is this is from wild turkey. This is a wild turkey juice. All
right. It says it was distilled in 2012. And it was dumped and bottled in 2022. So it's 10 year 10
years old. That is fantastic. 10 years in a barrel. Yeah. Wonderful. All right. And this is
selected by so this was personally selected by total one. Yeah. Oh, so it's Oh, so it's a store
pick private barrel. What we're drinking is not that though. OK, so that will plus it's a single
barrel. So that one will actually be a little bit different. Each barrel is going to be different.
Sure. Yeah. All right. So this is I think it's tasty. It is tasty. It is tasty. And everything
is solid. The nose is solid. The finish is solid. Now, I do I have a complaint. No, not really. I
just want to say it's is it a peppery finish? So it's not really a smooth finish. That's OK.
The aroma it smells like it's a little vanilla. Got some nuts, brown sugar.
You definitely smell the oak barrel and the cinnamon cinnamon.
Gosh. Well, the taste has got its bold, deeply complex with with creamy toffee, licorice and
vanilla licorice stone fruit. All right. So there's a finish, right? I was saying it's got a
sweet spice and spice. Definitely a spice finish, which is not my you know, do you like wild turkey?
I like I like I like this. I like a smooth. I don't mind a bold taste, but I want to finish
that isn't spicy. That's my best. I want it to be truly smooth. I don't think this is extremely
spicy, but my palate's a little jacked right now because right. It's not bad. It's not bad at all.
I mean, I'm going to give it a high rating, but but you know, not the best I've ever tasted. But
for 110 proof, it doesn't taste like it. No, it doesn't taste like it. So it holds its
proof well. It does not taste like it. It does not taste as strong as it actually is.
I see what you're saying. Yeah, it has got legs. The viscosity. It's pretty good.
You know, viscosity about eight point two. Well, you still see it. Do you see it? I think it's eight
point one legs. Yeah, point one. It lasts for a long time on there. It's it's good stuff. You've
never done that before ever in this podcast. You've never held your glass sideways looking at the legs.
What are you doing? You know, is this a new thing we have to start doing? I think I've done it a lot.
You just have our bourbon out. It's supposed to go like this and like spin it. Why? And watch the
sheets and then turn into legs. So you can say, oh, it's got sheets and legs. Yes. Yes. That's dumb.
I don't think so. I think I think a lot of it. No, no. What are you going to do?
And we're bourbon stewards. Yeah. Bourbon stewards. Yeah. Well, tell you what, you guys can be bourbon
stewards. I'm not told him you're going to be a small. Yeah, I'm just going to know this is really
good. I like this. We liked it last time, too. We added what, two ounces to the infinity bottle.
We did. Yeah, we did. Another two ounces. We added the finny bottles. Good stuff. How many
ounces are left when we bottle back and we say we're done? It's getting close to the top. It's
getting close. I'd say then we're going to chug it. And then I don't know what we're going to do.
Are we going to bottle it? That's a god bless a gallon. We could. We could bottle it these and
put labels on it. So this is the infinity bottle. And then we sell them. We got three additional
gallons. Yeah, we have three more bottles of there to fill. We better get after it. I mean,
really, we just got a lot of infinity bottle. All we got to do is seal it up, slap, make a
homemade sticker on there of exactly what the contents of it like a new tree, like a new tree.
We have not tried it in a while either. That's exciting. Maybe we should maybe we should sample
it during the break. Look at you. I know I'm being wild and crazy. You guys are looking at the legs
and the sheets and it got me all. It got me all fired up. Right. Huh. Hmm. Anyway, what would you
rate it, gentlemen? I'd rate this seven and a half. It's good. It's really good. What would you rate it, Sean?
It's funny. Your gait was cutting in and out. Yeah, you thought it was. No, it was my throat.
Cutting in and out. I'm going to match Jeff. I think I wouldn't put it any lower and I wouldn't
put it any higher. Hmm. Seven point five? Yes. I'm going seven point four nine. Oh, so you do like it.
So I mean, not as much as you do. So the low one gets cut seven point four nine nine.
Eight. Oh, it's good. It is. I don't pick up a lot of I know I'm criticizing it sort of. I'm not.
I'm giving it, you know, I'm comparing it to other bourbons, right? Some of them don't have
a spicy finish. Right. You're saying right. This is a sweet spice.
Anyway, Russell's Barrel Excellent tenure outstanding. Yeah, recommend, recommend. I agree.
Recommend. And it's a wild turkey product. Do do do do do do do get the weather update now.
It looks like the looks like it's done. It's all gone. No, there's going to be more coming around
10 o'clock. All hell's going to break loose again. OK, there you go. Just the time to go home.
And crazy stuff here in Frisco, Texas, North North Texas.
Well, it's spring storms, right? This is this is normal. The time of the year.
Yes, it's normal shit. Absolutely. This is when hail. This is when you don't want to get a new
roof until after this period. So I'm going to share a story. Jeff kind of brought this up here.
And this is this Ken Dahl says he was he's always been a careful driver, the owner of of a software
company or sat Seattle. He drives a least Chevrolet Bolt. Bolt Bolt. Is that an EV? That's an electric
courier. He's never been responsible for an accident accident. So Mr. Dahl, 65, was surprised
in 2022 when the cost of his car insurance jumped by 21 percent. Wow. Quotes from other
insurance companies were also high. One insurance agent told him his Lexus Nexus report was a factor
and he's like, what is that? So, well, it contained what it contained stunned him more than 130 pages
detailing each time he or his wife had driven the Bolt over the previous six months. It included the
dates of six hundred and forty trips or starts and in times the distance between the distance driven
and accounting of any speed, hard braking or sharp or accelerations. The only thing it didn't have was
where the car had driven scroll down for a second. I don't think people know what Lexus Nexus is.
So that is a it's a it's a data data collection data collection company. Right. So these they
described what it was at the top of that paragraph. These EV cars are not just EV. Yeah. Well, yeah,
there's a there's a bunch of them. It's it's well, the story I heard it was it's GM cars,
Kia and Subaru. I think there's one more that does it. And it's baked into all the paperwork
that you sign that you're a green data collection. Yeah. It's like signing on a home loan. Right. I
mean, you sign like a million pages and you don't read any of that shit. Right. So what this car does
and maybe it is electric cars, I don't know. But what it does, what these new cars are all
they're all connected these days and they're sending information and what it does is these
cars collect all this data unbeknownst to you unless you read every line of that contract you
just signed unbeknownst to you. They're collecting all this data. How fast you've driven, how hard
you've broke, break, how fast you've taken off from a stop sign or whatever. And these are risk
factors and what insurance company right and what they're doing is they're selling it to the
insurance companies. Right. And the insurance company. Yes. And the insurance companies are
looking at it and going he needs to the rate needs to go is a liability. So the race goal
and really is a is a bullshit reason for raising rates. Right. So my just was looking for an excuse
to raise rates. Correct. So my question is, if they're going to raise rates based on that,
if you don't do any of those things, should they lower your rate? You get a break. Well, I mean,
we see that on Allstate. They say we know that you're a good driver and we lower your rates.
Well, how do I know that? Because you don't have any tickets. Well, I think I think it's based on
the same data. I think it's I think it's based on the same data. And they even say that in the
car. It's like an infringement of your privacy. It kind of is. You don't have any new cars, though,
that would report that back. Is there any way to cut your electric or EV car off from being
networked? They say that your phone is never truly off. Even if you power it off, they can still
track it. Well, true. But is there a way? Yeah, but I'm saying is there a way you can like
turn off your car so that you can't track it? I'm sure if you knew what you're doing, you can get
in there and unplug some wires somewhere. Yeah, I mean, just disconnected. But would your car work?
Yeah, it immediately shuts down and explodes into a million pieces. I mean, as long as it can track
like it can use GPS signal. So you can have GPS without having your phone hooked up, you know?
Well, yeah, but it's recording everything that your car does right. Like the Tesla cars,
they're completely hooked up. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. To the to the network. Totally. That's so weird.
Well, I mean, it's nowadays. Everything is data, data, data, data, data. That's how you make.
That's why they don't like all those old cars, because they don't have any way of control. That's
what I mean. Your your cars, how do they know? Yeah, I drive a 2006 Jetta. That's what I mean.
And a 2010 Ford Expedition. It's not. They don't have shit on me. So Allstate, the only way they
could probably do that is looking at your record. He doesn't have any speeding tickets. He doesn't
know. When I was talking about all, I'm talking about they have commercials. Oh, no, no, no, no,
no, no, on TV, they have commercials and they say, we can see that you are a good driver and we cut
and we cut your rate. Well, you know how they do that is these insurance companies want you to buy
a little little module to plug into your car so they can track you. OK. And if you're able to do
that and you say, hey, we'll lower your rates if you plug this into your car and let us track you.
No, thank you. No, I'll pass. Right. I'll pass. Especially if you're having to bury dead bodies
and shit. They don't know exactly where you went. Exactly. They do anyway. But I think it's a huge
thing. You used your phone. I think it's bullshit. I forgot about the phone. I think it's bullshit.
So I wonder if you're if you're savvy enough and you read through that contract, you're like,
I agree to everything except for this. They won't say no. If I were they like, well, we can't say
the car. Sorry, we're going to sell to the next person waiting for. I was like, I want you to
turn this feature off in my car. They wouldn't anyway. How would you know? Well, I'd want to
exactly. How would you know? But I wonder if you're able to call that out and go, I don't agree to
this. You know, it's interesting. I just got a new VPN at my house. I finally bought one, an app,
essentially. I was going to say it's an app, right? Yeah. So I mean, it's crazy because one
of the things that you go into the settings of it and I turn off there's turn off there's a little
repopulating ad. Take off ads. OK, you select that button and it turns off. All right. You reopen
the settings again and it's back on. Oh, yeah. You have to do it every time. OK, why? I mean,
why can't you stay off because they want the ads to be on there? So they get paid. That's how they
get paid. So every time. But I'm I'm saying is that the app is on currently. So it's on. I go
into settings and I see that it's on. I turn it off and I go out of settings and I'm doing what
I'm doing. And I go back into settings. It's turned back on again. You're saying not even the next
time you access. Yeah, it's not like rebooting and redoing. It's like every blowing you off.
Yeah, it's like fuck off. Like, yeah. Are you paying for it or is it free for you? Five bucks a month.
Yeah. Well, you probably can pay ten bucks a month and they'll take turn off the app. I've got the
premium package on how much more you want. Oh, shit. Which one did you get? Five bucks a month.
Premium package. It was the one that's got one hundred million downloads. I don't know what that
means. Net something. I don't remember. Net Scouts or something like that. Yeah, something like that.
There's a lot of them. What I've read is because mine is from Canada and they said
it's better because the U.S. government cannot come to us to look at your traffic. Oh, nice.
But there are. Canada is worse than the United States is in terms of. Well, yeah, but I live in
the U.S. Yeah, but. The U.S. government's not going to go up there. They can't. So the because
I've read that some of these big ones the government has come to and they've turned over information.
Oh, wow. Well, we do live in the age of deep state and, you know, they track the shit out of
everything. Right. And they have information on us about everything. Right. Yeah, I like the one I
have. I've had for about five years. Using my computer. Also, it's very good because
when you're looking at airplane tickets. Yes. When you search for airplane tickets, the airlines
put cookies on so they know that you're searching so they can jack their prices up. Oh, he's come
back. He just looked at this. So I'm going to raise the rates a little bit. We're going to lower
the rates. No, no, because you're hunting. They're like, oh, well, he's going to be flying soon.
And he's really interested because he's come back multiple times now. And that's funny. They've got
they've got some sort of new system for Wendy's. They're the first ones to do it. I forget what
is called a surge. Oh, surge pricing. Surge price surge. It's like the toll road on 635. So the more
people that use it, the more expensive it gets. So basically, like when you when you pull up to the
Wendy's and you go in, you're in line and it's just you and there's no one around. The hamburger may
cost two bucks. However, if they've got a line out the down the road and the place is packed,
that's four bucks now. Yeah. Are you for real? Wendy's is doing this. Yes. It's changing their
pricing based on demand. They're going to do surge pricing. They're the first burger place to do that.
I think I think that's going to backfire. I agree. And when people find that out, they're going to be
like, not bullshit. Well, what's in the news? Burger King, we statement making fun of him or
something like that. They had some good comeback making fun of Wendy's. Yeah. Yeah. Good. Good for
them. Yeah. So, yeah. Are they piloting piloting somewhere? I didn't read the whole story. No,
it's it's done deal. I don't think it's every single Wendy's. Well, I mean, hold on. When I
say it's done deal, they're implementing them systematically. That is crap. It's crap. It's a
the decision has been made so far. You know, it's what it's going to do. It's going to shift
people's eating habits. Yeah. I'm not going to be doing anyway. I'm not going to eat a burger. I'm
not going to eat lunch at noon. I'm going to go at 10 when it's when no one's there slow. Yeah. Or
I'm going to go at two. Interesting. Or not go at all. I just don't go at all. Right. I don't eat
Wendy's anyway. I do. I like Wendy's. I like their chili. I get there five for five or whatever it is.
Great deal. I don't know. I like I've been when he's actually I don't know. I like I have been.
But I don't eat. I try not to eat any of that shit anymore. I'm so conscientious of everything.
Even though I eat a can of
can of hash, beef and hash today. The whole can. The whole can. Like spooned it out of the can.
Heated it up. Put some eggs on there. It did look like dog food. It probably smelled like it too.
It tasted wonderful. What what led to that? Why would you? Well, I erred. So Tara said, hey,
can you go pick up some corned beef for this weekend's event over the party? And so I dumb
finally I go through and I buy and stuff. Oh, corned beef. It's corned beef hash. Fucking idiot. So
she wanted like the big yeah. Yeah. So I ended up I ended up working with Scott Cash of the corner
shack. They're whipping out. He's bringing five or six briskets, the pastrami ones, but the only the
flats. Yeah. Holy shit. That's typically what the corned beef is, just the flats. Yeah. So it's the
flat. Four or five of them. Yeah. But they're only like five pounds a piece prior to being cooked.
OK. OK. Yeah. And you know, there's going to be a lot of people. I mean, Stan from Total Wine's
going to be there. We're going to be there. There were the regular Chuck will be there. Some of the
neighbors will be there. Perhaps. Are you are you going? I plan on unless I get sick. Yes. Yeah,
we'll be there. I'll be in there. Yeah. And also, Patrick's Day. I mean, that's the whole
celebration. What do you have going on tomorrow? I'd like to go in to Guitar Center and purchase a
speaker. A speaker. Another one? Yes. Like a Sinais. A Sinais. No, I need a pro audio speaker that will
accommodate the vocals and karaoke music to make sure that it sounds good. And the system we have
now is subpar. Are you going to give up on that? Can you return those things? Well, I already have
the one or two. Two. You got two. God damn it. Unbelievable. Whatever it is, what it is. I don't
care. Are you going to go with the same style? No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not going with that.
That style. They're actually really good speakers. The one I bought. They're just not designed for
what I'm using them for. So those those speakers are the tall. They got a big subwoofer base on
them, but they got the little tower, the tower that stands up six feet, whatever that is. They're
designed for live performances for guitars. You know, when you're sitting on a stage. They sound
terrific. Great with vocals. Great with the equalizing of a guitar, but not for general
DJs. Not for bass drums and bass. Yeah, they're not full range speakers. And I should have known
that. And I did know that. But for some reason, I just did it because I thought it was going to work
and it sounded good. And I heard so much. And again, we're talking about karaoke, like speakers
for karaoke. Specifically. It doesn't sound good for that, you're saying. That's exactly right.
Yeah. OK. You just need a big old floor speaker. We'll put on a stand. Yeah, I'm going to get.
We'll see. We'll see. Well, I mean, I got to go. So if you're available tomorrow,
like before we go out to our I mean, you busy tomorrow? I just have to do yard work.
That's the only thing I have on the list tomorrow. So can you wake up at six and do that so you can
be accommodating to my needs? Six a.m. when I can't see. Six fifteen. What the hell? You got flash
flash. I do. Yeah, I've got a headlamp. I can wear a headlamp. I've got to try to mow and stuff
with a headlamp. I charge. I pay people to do that. Yes. The plan is to do yard work before lunch.
Yes. OK, cool. Yeah. So can you can you squeeze some time for me? Maybe. I'll see. I'll see. You
know, how you do on the podcast and and see how this goes. But the speaker is going to be used
for all of our events. That's true. And I can we can yell saying, you know, like, oh, we'll knock
it out. Very middle of practice. Oh, yes. Hell, yeah. Not happening. Yes. Yeah. Oh, Mandy.
I thought I came in all over my. No, really.
She's rose. Hey, did you set the timer up to in this podcast? Yes, I did.
Yeah. Bless. So all right. So we had the the cars. That's crazy that the EVT. Well, we knew
that anyways. We knew they were tracking it. Oh, yeah. It's a surprise. Yeah. It really shouldn't.
You know what? It makes us angry. But the thing is that no one really cares that the track.
And some people do. I personally don't care because it's real thing. And I think it's data
that should be collected personally. You know, but when they're going to use that data against you
to start charging you, that's kind of like, come on. That's a little different. And even when they
say, oh, the government's tracking all the information and they're listening to my phone
calls and they're reading my text and a lot of people will say, hey, what are you know, shit,
I'm not doing anything wrong. I don't give a fuck if the government's watching me and waiting for
something me to say something. I'm I'm not a target for them. But this and that's bullshit.
That's it is bullshit. It's total bullshit. I mean, that's a total violation of our liberties.
But it doesn't make something cost more expensive. This costs this cost.
Well, it's just plus it's out of the blue. This guy in the story is just like, yeah,
I was paying whatever 100 bucks this month up to 121 the next month.
And it said and so and so the insurance company told this guy that it was the
it was the insurance agent. She was called. Yeah, it's because of that.
But he reached out and said, hey, why did my shit go?
Yeah, well, she did. She told him that she said it's a Lexus report.
Yeah. Wow. Can you go to LexusNexus.com?
Well, and they do way more than this. They do all sorts of general data collection.
Software company. Yeah, they do way more than just,
you know, I wouldn't even have known that they collect car data.
Risk solutions. American data analysis company headquarters,
New York New York's product of various databases to online portals, including portals on a computer
assisted legal research, newspaper research and consumer information.
Consumer information. We are fucking just sheep.
So basically they buy all the data from Facebook. Yeah, we're getting hosed.
Yeah. So they have all your data.
So they know where you're shopping, what you searched.
Yeah. And I'm OK with a lot of that stuff. I mean, it's you know, if I were to walk into
a place and they can anticipate my needs, you know, I'm almost OK with that.
It's kind of limiting sometimes. Like if I were to go like on Netflix,
sometimes you're like, all right, well, they know what I watch.
But sometimes, you know, when I when I log on to my wife's account or for whatever reason,
she's got a completely different variety of different shows that she can watch.
And I think that is kind of inhibiting some of my experience.
And I wish they would change some of that because it's kind of refreshing to walk in and see,
oh, look, that's a good show. I've seen that show. Why isn't that populating there?
It's a nice love story. Nice romcom. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Full nude. Full nude.
Hold on. Full nude romcom. Yes.
Is that what that means? Yeah.
And you thumbs down that. Yeah.
Idiot. Once you thumbs down it, the full nude romcoms don't come back.
Once your thumbs down doesn't come back. That's right.
How does that work? It doesn't work.
Yeah. But you know, you were talking about shopping, you know, and you would want to know.
So the difference to me is if you sign up for loyalty programs, right, and on the app,
it says, hey, do you want to know when there's a special, when you're when you are in geofencing,
right, when you come arrive at the mall or you're near one of our stores, do you want to know blah,
blah, blah? And you say, yeah, I do. Then that's okay.
I mean, you should have to opt in. And that's what I'm talking about,
opting in or opting out, right? Or opting in. I know what you're saying. You have to explicitly
opt in. I want this. Right. But I think that's okay, because you have signed up for their products.
You are a loyalty member getting points for their company. And they know what you've been buying
and they know what goes well with it and what you searched for last time. And by the way,
it's not 30% off the thing you were looking for. Like you were searching on. I think that's okay.
Like I have the Kroger loyalty card or whatever it is. Right.
And it knows when I'm in the store, right, because then it goes into store mode.
Right. Specifically for that store. So I could see,
you know, I need to search for this and it's in this aisle.
10% on extra small condoms. And it knows which food that I purchase
and it'll put those coupons up there. So I've again, I have an issue more than Sean about
people tracking me. I'm still not wild about having Alexis Alexa in my house,
even though I got it, because Dwight wants it. And I don't appreciate that. I don't like it.
I agree with some of that too. You've changed your identity a couple times.
No, but no, I'm with you on this, Jeff. I mean, I'm not, even though I have it,
it's not necessarily that I've always wanted. Like I've covered up on one of my Alexa things,
the little camera things. I'm like, yeah, but it's just like when we talk, even talking about here,
I mean, the phones are all listening to what we're saying. I mean, shit, man, we say about weird things.
We talk about a bunch, a variety of things and all of a sudden shit starts populating on my phone.
I'm like, what the fuck? Oh yeah. We need, I've never talked about that my entire life.
We talked about it during the podcast, which means it's my phone. Correct. Oh, a hundred percent.
Yep. And it'll show up. There's weird things. It could be maybe because Austin is searching for it,
but when I'm over there, you know, when I listen to it, sometimes I'll research some of the topics
we talked about and I'll pull it up and some of the ads will come up and I was like, wow, that's
weird. Well, I remember talking about that at some point. That's who I worked for. That is,
uh, they are called, uh, Epsilon. I forget what they're called. I mean, maybe they still call it
Epsilon. I don't like that. That's exactly what they did. They would, you would search for something
and then they would populate on all the websites you go to from then on. Right. Those ads follow
you. It's creepy shit. Well, I mean, I kind of like, uh, cause I, I put out there the fact that I want
to buy my, my battery powered tricycle, the trike. You did. You put it out there. Yeah. It's a good
thing. So I'm getting, I'm getting bombarded. Are you really? Oh yeah. And I'm just waiting. I'm
kind of like, which one do I want? First of all, number one thing, the seat, it's got, it cannot
have that pole. So if it's got the pole, it's out. Yeah. Does it have other options there? No probe
seats. Well, they've got the little 90 that comes up. So I mean, that is an option. I can actually
go in and that'd be really bad. Don't they have like the banana seats, like in our, our bicycles?
I do not think they have the trike with the banana seat. They do have the extra wide with extra
cushion, which I kind of like for the, for us to pull up the ass potentially. Well, but look, you
can, you can replace that bar with a 90. So the potential for it to go out to your ass is
not there. Minimize. No, it's not there because it's, it's a 90. Well, if it did, it'd be really bad.
Yeah. Well, I mean, how's that going to happen? It shouldn't be able to go up your ass. If it's
a nine. It shouldn't. I don't like anything going up my ass. I could imagine that. No, I'm saying
shouldn't like logistically shouldn't be possible. Yeah. But I would like, I wouldn't mind getting
one of those battery powered, uh, uh, trikes. I mean, they hit some of those things there. They
say that they've got, I mean, go like 60 miles, you know, per hour or distance distance. Oh,
I was going to say that's terrifying. Yes. But that thing to go 60 miles an hour,
that would be terrifying. That means you can take it on the highway. Yes.
Dude, look at that guy though. Look at the dude on the trike. But there's a thought too, man.
And the basket's like rattling. Shits flying out of your basket. He's got a big orange,
big flag off the seat. It's like going so fast. It's lateral. And you're like,
Nexus Lexus tracking it. Oh, look how fast it's going. 60 miles on one charge. That's nice.
Yeah. There's some that go even further. They, they carry extra batteries and I mean, look,
I remind me, remind me what exactly you're wanting this for. It's just trips to the Kroger.
Just general trips around within the five miles, you know, go get a haircut, just hop on the road.
It's definitely not for exercise because you're not getting exercise. You know, it's funny.
What about your motorcycle? Right. Not for exercise. Yeah. My point is that sometimes
you don't want to be in a car. Sometimes you want to hop on a bike and just go, I get you.
I get it. Out of my dad's you've been out there, but it's it's semi rural.
Yeah. Paul, I've been out there. Yeah. I wasn't invited on that bourbon hunting trip, I guess.
Yeah, you were bullet. So we did. That was early in the bourbon career anyway. But there's a local
guy. I guess it's a guy he's got. Or maybe it's a old lady. I don't know. He's got one of the
electric trikes. And I always see him going up that hill on his way to like Target or something
like that. And he's on the road. I think I can. I think I can. He's got long gray hair. And he's got
this hippified bike trike, but it's a battery one. And he'll be sitting there and, you know,
he'll pedal a little bit like that. But that's what I think of Sean. He's going to be that guy.
So was it going like two miles per hour trying to get up this hill? Yeah, it was going slow.
So he would have to pedal to kind of help it. So is he going to have the long hair, Sean, in that
scenario? Or? Well, I got to start with hair. Yeah. That's what I'm trying to visualize how
that would work. We're going to wear a wig, a little toupee. Because even as a smirking.
You with extensions. I even commented to my dad, I was like, I see this. I don't know if it's a
lady or a guy. I've never really looked. I see this guy every time. He's like, yeah, he's always
out riding his trike up to this hill to the stores or wherever he's going. I don't know.
Nice. It's cool. He could be going to the casino for all I know. But there you go. I don't know.
Probably a brothel. Could be. I don't think there's any brothels out there, but I'm not aware of that.
I think I don't think it's a bad idea. I endorse I endorse your trike idea. But you know what? Look,
yeah, I think you're pretty cool. I see the elements to it. This is the battery. I get a regular
track trike. That's a battery operator. I get like a scooter. I mean, they have I've saw what I saw
back what Preston had actually has one. What a gas powered scooter. No, it's a battery bike.
Oh, I saw that. The wheels are, you know, Costco Costco has it's a small one. It's a small one.
Right. I thought of you. I was like, I don't know how much it was, but yeah, it was like 1300.
Still. Yeah. No. How much? Yeah, it was 1300. Yeah, I'd save. That's a lot of money, isn't it?
Yeah. But the truck's what? Twice that ish. Yes. You can buy a trike for for two grand.
I'd say that over that base one, you know, but it's just it's about quality after that. But then
I'm thinking, yeah, I'll definitely try over bike for sure. But I think on the way back from the
podcast, you're kind of wobbly. It's not so much that. Three wheels is better. It's because on a
trike, you got a basket in the back and a basket in the front. You know, you can you can put like,
you know, bourbon and glasses and groceries, food to sustain you on your trip. Nice.
Yeah. Munchies. So you want 60 miles. You need food while you're. Oh, do I? 30 miles and turn
around. I'll be I'll be a little bracket for a monitor so I can watch a movie while I'm
triking. Brilliant. You go on the bike rides with Paul and Brian. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, we're like quiet. We're like and we're like, put, put, put, put, put, put, put. Yeah. Where is
he? He's back there. All right. Hold on. I can't hear him. Hold up. Hold up for him. Hold up for him.
But what the hell? Hey, guys. Hey, guys. Jing, jing, jing, jing. He's really low. He's looking up at you.
That doesn't really. You know, I don't know. It doesn't really.
We said those things go what? 30 about 30, 35. Yeah, they go about 25, 30.
Yeah, right around there. Yeah, that's not quite fast enough for you. That was it.
Probably not. Not on the tollway. Oh, no, no, no, no. It's definitely. Well, you could pull
up on the tollway. Look, it is a little. Look, if you travel, if you hit the accelerator on that
thing and you're within our community, you're you're going fast. Oh, yeah. No, the battery car is
instant speed, instant torque. If we saw you racing down the residential street at 30,
it would look very fast. Yeah, it would look very fast. Yeah. And you'd be like, yeah.
Yes. The basket of food. Yep. Yep. Yep. Next. Next on the Netflix.
Oh, yeah. He's got movies up there watching it. I got my little Netflix. Got a little.
I'll tell you what really sparked this whole thing about the trike was I tell you, I was in
in I was in New Hampshire, like Massachusetts. We're headed to the Big Island and we were we
went back to the shore from the island. You were doing your groceries. Your your your beep beep beep.
Yeah. Well, we had done that, too. It was fruitful. I found a bunch of very
painful. You found a cannon. You know, the experience was the gift that keeps on giving
some nails. Yeah. Some nails and a big cannon. A bunch of lead from the so the
out sort of we went back to the mainland. You know, we got off the boat and we were
headed to the grocery store and this old dude pops off on this little trike. And he's like
with his rape bias. He's like little radio on the back. It's got some rap pack music playing.
Oh, nice. I think it was. I think it was. I was like, dude, I want one of those. I got to be.
That's got to be me. It was the guy with his nuts and jumps played all over the seat. That was a
different. Oh, yeah. All new. That's what it was. Colony experience in Edburg, Texas. God bless.
March 14th, March 14th, dudes like us. I'm Sean. I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff.
