Facebook, Instagram.
Yeah those are really popular platforms.
Facebook, Instagram, dudes like us dash podcast dudes like us dash woodcraft.
It is March 14th, 2024.
It's a stormy night and it is calm right now but I imagine it's gonna pick up in this
to show you.
All night in North Texas in the spring.
Who knows?
We've already heard there's some hail going on.
Dudes like us, I'm Sean.
I'm Paul.
And I am Jeff.
And we are here to pump you up.
Second half of the podcast, so obviously we're a little seasoned.
First half we enjoyed some Russell's private selection.
Single barrel.
Private choice.
Very nice.
Private.
Yes.
Privates.
It was good.
We got a 7.5 on the record scale.
And we got a second bourbon and we'll tell you about it just a little bit.
It's not a bourbon.
It's a rye whiskey.
Thank you for pointing that out.
And we'll talk about that shortly.
It's one of our few ryes.
Anyway we'll talk about it here.
That's a teaser.
So good.
All right so we've got tons of topics to talk about.
We're so excited.
Jeff just got back in.
Boy is his arms tired from flying him.
Yes.
You went on vacation.
Walk us through where you went.
Well I went out to see my dad again.
His vacation was planned before his surgery which I was out there a month ago for a surgery.
So this is spring break.
Wife is a teacher so she was on spring break so we planned on going out there.
He lives out there by Lake Tahoe which is absolutely stunning.
I recommend everyone to go out there.
So we went out there.
Spent some time with them.
We made it.
My son and his girlfriend went out.
Ten feet of snow?
In Tahoe.
Yeah.
There was no snow where my dad lived.
Oh really?
Zero.
I was expecting you to be like damn it's crazy out here.
No zero snow.
Actually beautiful weather we were out there.
Probably 60 degrees where my dad was.
Windy as shit though.
So it felt colder.
Absolutely beautiful out there.
Highly recommend it.
He lives in the Lake Tahoe is in the Carson, I'm sorry the Sierra Nevadas and it's in between
the mountains so it's a lake right there in the mountains.
And he lives at the base of the Sierra Nevadas in the Carson Valley.
So Carson Valley is between the Sierra Nevadas and the Pine Nut Mountains.
And it's a beautiful view.
It is.
You sent us pictures and I was like really?
It's absolutely stunning.
And that's where, depending on how old you are, that's where they filmed Bonanza.
Was in that Carson Valley.
Ah.
Is it still there?
The little town where they?
Yeah well he doesn't live in a big town.
Now it's growing.
No but I mean you know how they say they leave the sets in the desert?
If they could be.
I've never seen it if it is.
Interesting.
You have to go find it.
The Bonanza set.
Yeah so we went out there.
Like I said we went over to Tahoe on Monday or Sunday.
Can't remember.
Sunday.
And absolutely stunning.
Now they were, the roads were clear because they got 10 feet of snow the weekend prior.
In one weekend.
10 feet.
God that's insane.
Absolutely ridiculous.
The wind was up to 190 miles an hour.
That would be blizzard conditions.
190 miles an hour.
That's hurricane.
Hurricane.
Tornado wind.
And I saw some videos where it was, you know they have webcams out there.
And it was, you couldn't see anything because the snow was going sideways.
I was going to say the cam doesn't help you at all.
Yeah the snow was going sideways.
You really couldn't see anything because it was ridiculous.
Anyway the roads, they know how to take care of it out there.
The roads were clear.
But in Tahoe, these huge plows, they plow the snow under the sides.
Right?
So it blocks off some entrances of some typical places where you go during the summer.
So some of the hikes you can't do.
But it wasn't in town.
I think we brought this up last time.
I was like what do they do with the snow?
Do they like in New York City they show pictures of like cars being like submerged in snow.
That's not the case there.
Yeah well cars don't park on the street in Tahoe.
There's no room.
Right.
So you don't deal with that.
You just have these huge piles of snow.
I mean feet, feet, 10 feet, 20 feet high.
Because they'll block a driveway and then they'll clear the driveway and just mound
this shit.
So tremendously large piles of snow.
Anyway we made it to Zephyr Cove which we always try to go to because it's just beautiful.
That's where Sean found his mystery sock.
Yeah.
No that was a big find.
So he was sponge diving and he came up with the sock.
He came up with the sock.
He was treasure diving.
It came up.
I think it's you have it mounted.
So I've got no I do not.
I discarded it as soon as I almost touched it.
I think I came out of the water with it right.
You did.
You held it up.
You're like guys.
Guys look.
I packed my mask and snorkel with me.
It was a fantastic idea by the way.
It was.
And I was headed on.
I was like looking in the water and I see this thing down there.
I'm like what is that?
Is that shiny?
Imagine a tube sock filled with a bunch of fuzzies.
Yeah.
A gold colored tube sock.
It was gold but it was.
Oh.
Huh.
Was it bedazzled?
Yes.
Was it sparkly?
Was it oozing?
Sorry I wasn't over that.
I didn't say oozing.
I said bedazzled and sparkly.
So I dived down there.
The thing is it was deep.
Fuck six feet could be deep for me right now.
In other words you bent over and picked it up.
I went down about ten feet underwater and I'm swimming down to it and I touch it and I pick
it up and it's like picking up a fucking filled condom.
And I'm like oh my god.
And I just keep coming up because I'm committed at a certain point.
I'm fucking here I might as well do it.
And I feel all of a sudden a bunch of stuff starts coming off of the sock.
It's got some mold and some shit going on there that's kind of fluffed out like some
sort of cucumber fish.
Like an algae?
Yeah like an algae kind of moldy.
It starts coming off and I'm like this is a fucking tube sock.
And I come out of the water.
Did I throw it at you?
No you didn't throw it at me.
You pulled it up and you just dropped it.
You're just like it's a fucking sock.
Yeah it was.
It was nasty.
You thought it was something special until you saw that it was the stripes on it?
There's something to be said once the atmospheric pressure hits that thing and it totally deflates.
It was kind of like hey you've been sucking.
You know when it's underwater it's all filled up and foomy.
You thought it was like a Viking dagger.
I didn't know what the fuck it was.
No it had nothing to do with that.
I didn't know what it was.
It was fun.
I went down there and picked it up and it was fun.
So I took a video of that beach.
Of course there was snow on the beach.
But it was windy.
So I don't know if you noticed one of the videos I sent you there were like white caps
coming.
It was quite wavy.
I've seen them bigger than that but it was good.
It was a lot of fun.
Beautiful out there.
100%.
I recommend people go out there.
Like I said though during the March time frame unless you're going skiing I'd avoid the area.
Otherwise there's not a whole lot to do out there.
Until it warms up.
We usually typically go out in the summer or in the fall.
But is it expensive?
It's not as bad as you think.
Like Lake Tahoe?
Lake Tahoe.
Like hotels?
Lake Tahoe.
When Sean went out there we rented a house.
And I honestly couldn't tell you how much it was.
400 bucks a night maybe.
But you split that two, three, four ways.
Yeah, yeah that's not bad.
And it was a nice house.
It's well equipped.
Like a three bedroom house?
Three, four bedroom house.
Oh wow.
You had your own bedroom.
I think Preston had his own bedroom.
I think Brandon and Stephen had the loft.
So they had mattresses.
Preston slept downstairs on the sofa.
He slept on the sofa.
Yeah, for some reason.
And Stephen and Brandon slept on the loft.
You two, you and Julie had your A-frame.
I had a bedroom upstairs.
And I don't know where Austin went.
I think I see he had another room.
Yeah, he had another bedroom.
There were two bedrooms downstairs.
Preston slept on the sofa.
I will tell you, I almost died.
Where were the women?
Well, Julie was the only one there.
Yeah, she was the only chick.
My wife won't travel.
And she had her own bedroom.
I will tell you.
Oh, you had a bedroom with Julie.
So I slept with my wife instead of Sean, yes.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, that threw me off.
I know you would have slept with Sean and stuff.
I don't know if I ever shared with you, but I almost died on that trip.
I think you told me that, yeah.
In the middle of the night, I almost drowned on my vomit.
Are you serious?
Yes.
Because of booze or what?
My system was fucked up.
And sleep apnea.
And it didn't work out well.
And I woke up in a panic, stood up in five alarm system and took the deepest inhalation.
You know, it was just, it was horrible.
Really?
It was horrible.
Man.
Is that where you kind of made the decision?
Yeah, I need to get this fixed or CPAP it.
Whatever was going on wasn't normal.
And yeah.
I wonder what was the altitude.
I wonder if the altitude had something to do with it.
I'm sure it had something to do with it.
It was 1,000, 7500 feet in Tahoe.
But I freaked out.
And anytime anybody wakes up and they're gasping for breath, like they were like, I was literally
like I spit out a bunch of shit and I was like.
Okay.
But you didn't vomit.
Like phlegm or food?
No, it was acid stuff.
A bunch of acid, a bunch of bile.
Yes.
There's bile.
Acid reflux.
No, no.
It's not acid reflux.
Acid reflux is different.
There was bile in my mouth.
There was a regurgitation.
Nice.
And it was extremely uncomfortable.
It left my throat.
Burned.
Sensitive.
You know, yeah.
It was, it was tore up.
It was a bad experience.
The whole trip was fantastic.
Loved it.
But it just only brings back to our health.
You know, in making the right decisions on how to take care of ourselves, man.
Was that the night we got back from our death trip that happened?
Your mountain.
Perhaps.
Your mountainous walk.
We almost both died.
That was the day where it took us 15 times longer than normal to climb up 8,000 feet.
This is when your sons were dual biking.
Those fuckers.
No, no, no.
This wasn't the day.
That was, they was both off.
All the boys were just like right up the mountain.
Right.
And both Jeff and I are just like breathing.
We walk 15 feet, we'd stop.
We walk 15 feet, stop.
Our feet, our fingers all got swollen.
They were sausagey.
We couldn't bend them.
It was ridiculous.
Paul, seriously, look.
Seriously.
It was so sad.
But look, we were, this was going, this was like a stair master.
We were literally going straight up.
Yeah.
And you were like in your worst shape ever.
Yeah, it was ridiculous.
It was pretty bad.
And it was about 8,000 feet.
I didn't think I was that bad, but I was bad.
It was bad.
We were, I mean I was bad.
I admit, I was bad.
You gotta be ready for hikes and shit like that.
I mean, you know, it's people.
That was the second attempt for me.
Me and Brandon were doing it and my wife and Stephen went way up fast and we got, me and
Brandon, he was hanging back for me.
He could have done it.
He was hanging back for me.
Yeah, he was playing football at the time.
He could have run up the mountain.
So he was hanging with me.
We made it about halfway.
I was like, we're not going to make it up because we had to get back anyway because we had the
thing.
I was like, it's going to take me a long time.
By the time you get there.
I'm like, we're going to wait here for them to come back and then we'll just walk back
with them.
It was just, it was taking too long.
But I was proud and it was, I give Sean credit for keeping us moving.
So we're not going to die here, man.
We're not going to die here.
No, I wasn't, I wasn't giving up, man.
I was like, fuck that.
We are not going back to Dallas having failed unaccomplished.
Epic, epic failure.
Especially after he says we never made it up the first time.
I was like, Oh hell no.
And I'll remind you, I wanted to quit so bad.
I fucking wanted to quit so bad.
I would have stopped in a second and went back down the hill if I was by myself.
But the fact that he was there and frankly, I feel bad because you killed him.
I was killed both of us.
It was, I mean, I think my face was red.
I mean, it was, it's eye opening.
I keep a picture on my desktop.
I have a picture of Jeff on my desktop, no homo.
And it's him.
It's him standing on a tree trunk looking out at the floors with this fucking Indiana
Jones hat.
Shane, Shane, go on without me.
Leave me here.
No, no, no.
I'm not worthy.
We had fun while we were out there.
When we were out there, it was good spirits.
It was beautiful.
Oh, man.
I can't, I love to do it again and I will do it again.
I hope to God.
Like you said, when I was out there in February, I was like, this needs to be a dude's like
us trip.
Go out there, find a home over there and just experience Tahoe.
It's, it's incredible over there.
Yeah.
It's absolutely incredible.
I mean, really all we gotta do is rent a van.
Fuck it.
I mean, if it's like March, April, I mean, it's still cold over there.
We're gonna sleep in the van?
No, they get 10 feet of snow in March.
No, it's still incredibly cold and snowy over there.
I don't know.
Maybe not.
Let's go on May.
But we can sleep in the same sleep bag.
No.
In the same sleeping bag.
You guys can.
Yeah.
Remember on your shopping list, you got a sleeping bag big enough for two full grown
men.
I know.
I don't remember that, Sean.
It was because I deleted my shopping list.
Broadcast all over.
Yeah.
I think they're also micro condoms.
During a party.
I'm sure.
I'm sure that was on the list, Jeff.
And I'm sure a double occupancy adult male.
For those folks that don't know what we're talking about, the dudes like us, Sean would
go over to Paul's house.
Yeah, Sean.
I would go over to Paul's house.
Yeah, it wasn't a dudes like us thing.
Yeah, whatever.
So we would go over there and Paul had his Alexa's little.
Alexa.
Alexa things sitting out there.
And unbeknownst to Paul, I would go over to the Alexa and I'd say, add extra small condoms
to my shopping list.
Yeah, he would add things to my shopping list.
Nobody would hear it.
It would be all in the down low.
Add a sleeping bag big enough for two full grown men on the shopping list.
And anal bees.
And this.
And that.
It would add it even though it's not even a product on their site.
It would still add it.
Whatever you said, it would add it.
It would add it.
Mr. T Kung Fu fist.
Yeah, it would add anything.
And then at the choice moment.
I don't know.
So I mean, look, the party.
Imagine this.
This is like this.
This took.
This was like this was a year.
Yeah, several six months to a year in the making.
And after and then Paul had a big event at his house and this party's going.
Music is hopping and we're using the Alexa app.
And all of a sudden, like, hey, Alexa, what's on my shopping list?
And I had to explain to, you know, all these elderly folks that were visiting on the nursing
home, you know, what's what's a double ended.
But the thing was, is that first of all, I probably I only wish I had a list of what
was actually on that list because it was quite career.
It was impressive.
I mean, so there were like 30 things on that list.
But here's the other then.
Then after he did that, then he comes for the next party and he's like, Alexa, Alexa,
Alexa, Alexa, it's not responding to me.
I figured it out.
He's like, hmm, weird.
Paul must have changed the password.
You didn't figure it out.
But you can only be a few things.
Amazon, Alexa, Echo.
Fuck, it was Amazon.
I knew what it was.
I just being nice.
That's me.
I'm nice.
I hold things back.
You are nice.
Well, what are the very nice?
One of the other things we did, I wanted to do this for a long time, is there's a little
it's the oldest settlement in Nevada.
It's called Genoa.
Genoa.
And it was Indians.
Oh, I don't know who said they carved caves in the cliff.
It was.
So it's an old settlement.
And there's I mean, there's an old saloon.
Oh, I mean, I sent you pictures, an old saloon.
It opened in 1851.
OK.
And I said that's where I sent that video.
You see Stephen making a face and it's old and everything's dusty.
All the old wood and it's small and it's it's awesome.
Absolutely awesome.
Super cool.
So it's the original saloon doors or saloon.
It's got some old doors.
It doesn't have like the little swinging ones, but it's got an old door up there.
How do they do that?
I mean, if it's cold, there's open air saloons with.
So when it got cold during the winter, what did they do?
I don't know.
They built a fire that man up inside of the saloon.
They built a fire.
So, yeah.
Probably have a fireplace.
That's where the foyer came into play with that.
That's not practical.
They had to have a real door.
So maybe the old Western movies are full of shit with the old like sliding swinging.
Yeah.
The swinging door thing that doesn't work like a patio door, maybe sliding glass door.
Yeah, sliding glass door.
So what they had is that you would enter through the main building through the entrance, which
was a hinged door that closed.
Right.
It has to be.
No, it's just the.
Hold on.
Let me finish it.
So they go through the foyer, the entry, and the.
So you're in the entry.
You go through the next room, which leads into the main chamber.
Where they had the flopping door.
That's where they're.
Are you just pulling this out of your ass?
No, this is based on my bonanza.
Oh, because you've done historical saloon research.
Why do you still live in Colorado?
You're a saloonologist.
I'm a saloonologist.
Those things lead straight to the saloon.
Straight to the bar.
Yes, in every old Western movie.
Because they come in.
Especially when they get thrown out, right?
They get thrown out and they come blasting through the little flopping doors.
Right.
See, I think that's historically inaccurate.
We have to we've got to fix this.
Which part?
The fact that all these old Westerns are full of shit in terms of how they were depra- depicting.
We need to talk to John Wayne.
Yeah.
Clint Eastwood.
He had like 200 of these movies.
Yeah.
Oh, Clint Eastwood, really?
He did a bunch of spaghetti Westerns.
No, no, no, John Wayne did.
Well, Clint Eastwood did as well.
He had a bunch.
Crap ton of the spaghetti Westerns.
There are I've never seen any of those really of John Wayne's.
I've seen bits and pieces of them.
I think really all the same.
I mean, how do you have 157 of these and and they be all that different?
Were they?
I don't know.
Oh, wow.
That was through my nose.
You fight the Indians or you fight the gangsters.
Yeah.
Who you are gangster.
Yeah.
Kevin Castor has a new Western coming out.
Who does?
Kevin Costner.
Yes.
He said it's like been a long time in the making type of thing.
That's why he quit Yellowstone.
Because he was making this thing.
Yes.
It's the same same.
Oh, it hasn't been that long in the making then.
Dances with Wolves.
That was such a great show.
Patanka.
Buffalo.
I enjoy the Western, you know, watching the 1950s Westerns a little bit different.
I know I have a I have an antenna.
I don't have satellite or any of that shit anymore.
And there's an antenna channel called Grit.
And all they show are the old Westerns.
Nice.
Good to know.
Wild West with Robert Conrad.
They may.
But a lot of them have.
There's one called Apache.
It had Burt Lancaster, who's the whitest white.
I think he was in.
He's been in a bunch of old movies.
But they had, you know, they darkened his skin up to make him look like an Indian.
And he was an Apache Indian.
Oh, really?
He had a red face.
He pulled up Apache Indian with Burt Lancaster.
And look at these pictures.
There's no way you can get away with this today.
No way.
And I tried watching it.
It was terrible.
I didn't like it.
But I was because the description I was like, all right, I'll watch that and then I'll see.
So Burt Lancaster, they made into an Indian.
Yeah.
Go up to the images where he played.
You know, you have to put Apache in there again.
And it's so there's a couple of color ones.
There is.
Oh, no.
Look at that.
Oh, no.
He's got blue eyes and they've just he looks like the furthest thing from an American Indian
of any.
Yeah, I mean, look at this.
I mean, it really makes his eyes pop.
Yes.
Yeah.
Blue eyes.
Yeah.
That doesn't really work.
They got some Hispanic folk from Mexico that with their big blue eyes like that.
You think that's because of the German influence that the Nazis brought?
Wow.
What's that you pull to Mexico?
I am.
Yeah.
I don't believe Germans hit Mexico.
Well, when they had so seriously, though, I mean, no, no, no, no, no, no.
When Adolf Hitler was escaping, they the the wall was Brazil, South America.
I meant to say South America.
So I mean, our blue eyes, it can be indicative of any any country, can it?
Or does it have to be sure like like Mexico was invaded by Spain?
So blue eyes are blue eyes are traditionally white from the Scandinavia.
Well, they are.
Yeah, they are white.
But they're mostly like from like the Scandinavian.
Yeah, you nailed it.
Interesting.
I just read something about that.
I completely forgot what the hell that was about.
Huh.
23andMe.
No, it was something else.
But anyway, so back to the the the Lake Tahoe and the the trip out there and with your your
vacation and you went to the saloon and it was dusty and but you sent some pictures that
look really good.
I really like to go out there.
Was it a real a real operating saloon?
Yeah, we go in there and I got.
Yeah, they have a big old wood bar.
And they just had this dusty bottle of whiskey and they had a shot and they slid it down
to you.
I don't know.
I wasn't quite like that.
And then some guy walk in and go, where you been?
Yeah, I had like spurs on so when he walked in, Jeff, I ain't seen you around lately.
But it was very cool.
It was just a room.
I was bigger in this room, but it was just very cool.
You know, they had a bunch of really old shit on the wall.
So I'm thinking how long has that shit been there?
Oh, yeah, probably a long time.
They had some really old pictures of what it used to be.
Super cool.
What it used to look like.
Because we were sitting there by a wall and I was looking at a picture.
I was like, oh, they've built this wall since this picture was taken, like where the where
the bathrooms are.
Right.
So when the picture was probably taken, they probably didn't have indoor bathrooms.
They had a whole other room back there that they've closed off and have since put bathrooms
inside.
So it was interesting to see.
And of course, they had a jukebox, but you know, that kind of.
You know, yeah, that's modern.
They had Wi-Fi and all that stuff.
But well, no, the Wi-Fi is original.
You know.
So what are we watching?
Oh, well, I just thought.
Are you segueing?
Well, real quick, last thing.
Tahoe Lake Tahoe has enough water in it to cover the entire state of California with
like six inches or 12 inches of water.
Damn, it's a deep lake.
It's 1200 feet deep.
Holy shit.
Loch Ness Monster type of shit is extremely deep, extremely large.
I did not know that.
Yes, cover the entire state of California with 12 inches.
That is impressive.
So you are you ever do that?
Yeah.
Are you advocating that they drain it and and I'm just saying that's that's put it all
over California.
The scale they have is it's a scale.
But what they have is that they have a huge surplus of water that people can drink.
Yeah, well, they don't in California.
Like what's that?
What's the Lake Havasu Lake Mead Lake Mead.
Right.
So they're finding all these bodies or is that outside of Vegas?
Lake Mead is outside of Vegas.
OK, so that is the one where they're finding all the dead bodies of people like because
it's lower.
It's significant.
That's right.
Is it has it been better because they got shit tons of rain?
California did.
California did in Vegas.
But it did not make it over the Meads in Vegas.
It didn't mean it didn't make it over the Sierra Nevadas.
Well, the Sierra Nevada stopped a lot of weather.
I know.
Just like boom, it stopped.
That's why you get 10 feet of snow in Tahoe.
My dad won't get anything.
Right.
He lives in the high desert stops.
Yeah.
He lives in the high desert.
Gotcha.
OK, what were you playing there, Sean?
A little bit of music.
Well, it's just well, we have St. Paddy's Day, which is right around the corner.
What the hell is that?
I don't know what that was.
That was a gay lick.
What the hell?
Very gay.
Yes.
St. Paddy's Day is right around the corner.
And for the.
What just happened?
Oh, my God.
It won't do both.
This is where we need our producer.
Oh, boy.
What are you doing?
You're not doing anything.
You know what?
Fuck it.
You know what?
I said, when is St. Patrick's Day is actually which day?
It's it's March 17th.
It's on Sunday.
It is Sunday.
It is my mother-in-law's birthday.
And her name is Patty.
She's Patty's birthday is on St. Patrick's Day.
Yes.
Was that a coincidence?
She's not a saint.
I'd have to ask her mother that.
So but she's no longer with us.
I can't.
I'm sure it was scheduled.
St. Paddy's Day or the feast of St. Patrick is a religious and cultural holiday held on
17th March.
The traditional death date of St. Patrick, the foremost patron saint of Ireland.
Your Irish needs a little work, but that's OK.
Sounds like Bill Cosby.
Yeah.
Damn.
God.
Blue guy.
So if fun, St. Patrick's Day is fun.
And I think it's I think it's kind of like a big drinking day.
I think we talked about this.
Every holiday is a single day mile St. Paddy's Day.
Look, the the the Irish people take it seriously.
You know, you think about it, St. Patrick, St. Patrick himself wasn't even Irish, Irish.
He was from England.
He was kidnapped and a slave.
Really?
Yes.
Well, that's a shitty story.
That's the truth.
Let's see here.
Let's see if I can get that three important facts about St. Patrick.
St. Patrick.
Oh, there we go.
Wasn't actually Irish.
Slavely was brought St. Patrick to Ireland.
The shamrock as an Irish symbol is said to have been popularized by St. Patrick.
St. Patrick actually wore blue, not green.
St. Patrick probably didn't drive all the fucking snakes out of Ireland.
What the hell?
Snakes out of Ireland?
I think you kind of dipped into Indian there.
Yeah, there was a lot of Indian.
What the hell, man?
All right.
So here, let's look up on St. Patrick probably didn't drive all the snakes out of Ireland.
One of the most popular myths about the Irish saying is that he rid the country of snakes.
However, modern science has since ruined the belief.
That's retarded.
Snakes eat rodents.
Yeah, well, you do need them.
That's what they say.
If you find a black snake in your yard, let it go because he's there to eat your rats
and the mice.
Nice.
You don't want to kill it.
Patrick was not St. Patrick's giving name.
St. Patrick's given name was Mawin Sukat.
I like Patrick better.
Patrick is a lot more soothing off the tongue.
Suck cat.
It wasn't until he became a priest that he adopted a new name, Patrick, after Patricius.
Patricius.
So, I mean, when they...
Isn't he a coach in the NFL, Matt Patricius?
No.
He was for the Detroit Lions.
He came from the Patriots.
Yeah, we might have to fact check that.
Matt Patricius.
So, you know, when they talk about pub crawls.
When they talk about pub crawls, we're going to do a pub crawl.
Usually, I think St. Patrick's Day.
Is that usually the pub crawl?
Negative.
No.
You can have a pub crawl anytime.
I know, but usually they're associated with holidays.
It's green beer is associated with St. Patrick's Day.
So, what pub crawl is associated with them?
Just college.
No.
No, a pub crawl is...
Oh, you don't have a pub crawl now?
No, a pub crawl is where you hop from pub to pub and you have...
I know, but they're usually associated with an event like St. Patrick's Day or Christmas.
You don't need an event.
Yeah, the event is...
The pub crawl is the event.
Maybe at A&M.
It's kind of like, let's eat dinner.
Wow.
You know, that's an event.
Okay, so you guys don't like pub crawls.
I get it.
God.
No, I've done pub crawls, but it had nothing to do with St. Patty's Day.
Wow.
Okay.
Well...
You drink green beer and you puke.
And Chicago turns their river green.
Correct.
So, why is it called a bar crawl?
The term bar crawl is believed to have originated in the UK in the early 20th century where it
was initially used to describe a pub crawl.
Similar activity where people visit multiple pubs in a single night.
That's it.
Well, I get it, but I mean, it's an excuse to do that when it's like St. Patrick's Day
or type in when are the most popular pub crawls.
I guarantee you.
Probably St. Patty's Day.
Probably...
Yes.
Any kind of festivity that you want to celebrate.
Oh, guess what?
It's tomorrow's my birthday.
Let's do a pub crawl.
Hey, guess what?
As long as I have been an adult, I have never...
Paul's going to lose his virginity.
Let's do a pub crawl.
I have never heard anyone organize a pub crawl outside of an established holiday.
Paul's going to get his first prostate exam.
Let's do a pub crawl.
We did it for birthdays.
Okay, no, you're right about that one.
We did it for birthdays.
You're right about that one.
Do I?
We did it for birthdays.
We did a pub crawl.
I don't know.
I think you're both wrong.
You just went to a weak school.
If you want to have a unique pub crawl experience in the US, then check out the pub crawls or
pub crawls are a huge form of entertainment for adults.
You know what?
Actually, you know what?
I did a pub crawl a couple months ago.
Oh, did you?
Down at...
On St. Patrick's Day?
No.
Yeah, a couple months ago.
This was a St. Patrick's Day party.
It was in the fall.
Jesus.
It was one of those...you know where you're on the bikes and everyone's pedaling?
Oh, that's so dumb.
And we went from pub to pub to pub to pub.
Was that in Nashville?
No, it was down in...
So you had to work off the calories.
It was down a little...
What was that?
Not a little, but a deep alum.
Were you charging batteries?
How long ago was that?
It was three months ago.
Octoberish time frame.
Anyway, it was fun.
It was fun.
Now, I didn't drink too much.
I had a beer here and a beer there and it wasn't...fucking 54.
How old am I now?
54.
So it's a little different.
When I was in college?
Yeah, we can do what we used to do, but we shouldn't.
The recovery is much more difficult.
I know.
It's not...
I look to...
Feeling like shit the next day is just not fun.
I enjoyed carrying the...Chuck brought this up at one of the last Halloween parties or
something like that.
It was like, you know, I don't like getting drunk.
I was like, because we were pouring our bourbon into our glen carrying glasses and we were
walking around sipping it and it's like, I'm not getting drunk.
I'm like, you know what?
To me, it's not about that, you know?
But at the same time, I was like, you're right.
Let's do some shots.
That's exactly what I told them.
That is where we get in trouble.
But seriously, to me that's...
Actually, let me be honest.
That's where you get us in trouble.
Really?
Let's turn a corner.
All right, St. Patty's Day.
St. Patrick isn't technically a saint.
While he's been given the title in popular lore, St. Patrick was never actually officially
canonized as a saint.
However, many still recognizes his contributions to the Catholic Church and he remains a spiritual
figure to this day.
Did he like corn, beef, and cabbage?
Is that why we eat that?
Where did that come from?
I think St. Patty's food selection is just based on Irish...
Is corn, beef Irish?
Yes.
Why don't they call it Irish beef?
Irish beef.
I would have called it Irish beef.
Well, I don't have a response to that.
Well, corning is actually the process that you go through.
So maybe that was an Irish thing.
Could be.
They corned the beef.
It's interesting because when you corn the beef, they use the flat, right?
They don't use the fat part.
They use the flat.
Oh, because the flat part was the hard part.
Probably to cure.
To cure it.
Interesting.
And you cure it with a bunch of spices, with coriander and all kinds of stuff.
And then you roast it or boil it to cook it.
You don't smoke it or anything like that.
So let's recap.
So St. Patrick was not a saint.
His name really wasn't Patrick and he wasn't Irish.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Explain that.
Ireland is one of the holiday.
They're just like, fuck it, we're going to make it up shit.
Yeah.
So there's no one.
You didn't chase away or anything.
Drowning the shamrock is said to have started with St. Patrick.
First of all, I've never heard of Drowning the Shamrock.
Have you guys?
I've never heard that in my life.
I think it's made up.
The tradition of drinking to celebrate.
There we go.
The tradition of drinking to celebrate St. Patty's Day is said to have started with
the saint himself who announced that everybody should have a drop of hard stuff after an
innkeeper was less than forthcoming with the batter of hisky.
While that was brief period while drinking, we're drinking on St. Patty's Day was a band
that tradition has since returned to full force.
So they say that drinking was banned.
And thus the start of pub crawls began.
In Paul's mind.
Anyway, it's fun.
I never went to the St. Patty's Day parade here in Dallas.
I've never been to a parade, but I will tell you when we St. Patrick's Day was a huge,
when I was, wow, nice music, when when I was a young professional, when St. Patrick's Day
came around, it was a massive drinking day.
I mean, we would get off work early and we would go and it was a party.
I mean, it was never really celebrate or did anything.
I did, man.
We knew when it was coming and it was a all day, all night bender.
I enjoyed St. Patty's Day.
It's been always popular in our, however, St. Patty's.
That just happened.
Yeah.
But anyway, so now we're looking forward to it.
We're having a St. Patty's Day gathering this weekend and we're going to have all kinds
of St. Irish food.
And I'm looking forward to it.
I've invited a bunch of people.
I've invited some colleagues and you guys and any pizza pizza.
No, we're going to have tons of food, dude.
There's some Irish bangers.
Any Wendy's?
You know what a banger is?
I got your banger hanging.
What?
What is a banger?
It's a sausage.
Yeah.
Banger.
I think I did know that.
It's like a bratwurst.
How did I know that?
Sausage.
Banger's and mash.
Interesting.
All right.
Well, that brings us up to our next segment, which is the fantastic bourbon.
Actually, it's not a bourbon.
It's a whiskey.
It's a straight rye whiskey.
Yeah, but it's our bourbon selection.
God bless it.
It's Irish, right?
Because it's green.
Green label.
110 proof straight rye whiskey.
Why are we drinking, gentlemen?
This is Pikesville rye.
I will tell you, Stan from Total Wine said, hey, you need to get this one because first
of all, one, it's inexpensive.
Actually, that should be two.
Number one, it is a solid, solid straight rye whiskey at 110 proof.
And for the price, you need to have this in your collection, period.
And so I was like, yeah, we're going to get it.
And I got it.
I picked up a bottle for myself and I picked up, I don't know how we got the second bottle,
but.
Very nice.
I think I bought a bottle for myself.
That was the old kid.
Now I remember.
That's what it was.
You got it.
You drank almost all of it.
I drank almost all of it?
You did.
We just watched you.
We sat there quietly.
Jeff and I sat there quietly watching you drink pretty much the whole bottle.
We didn't say anything either.
We went to our Total Wine visit and we picked up a bottle of the Pikesville 110 proof whiskey
rye, straight rye whiskey.
And I was like, hey, Stan, can we get a couple extra of those little serving cups that you
have for the samples?
And so you were there.
And so we got the cups out and we went out to the car.
We did a couple shots and then we went over to the local bar next to us.
We went to where?
What is it called?
Tailgaters?
Tailgaters, yeah.
You remember last week?
No, no, we didn't do anything.
Paul was like, I'm going to stay home and, and, and cover it.
Cover it.
I don't even know what the fuck he was doing.
I don't remember any of that.
Yeah.
Well, that's because it didn't happen.
It's probably his Vigene.
He had tier one stuff going on.
I don't know what it was going on, but I know it wasn't involved in it.
Oh, Alan was in town.
That's right.
Yeah, that's right.
My father-in-law was in town.
He could have got the tailgaters.
He could have.
He probably wanted to.
No, we watched, we chilled.
Like you said, we chilled and watched a movie.
I didn't get it.
Single table?
I didn't get anything.
It was just like, why even exist?
No, no, you said if you guys decide to go out, let me know.
And we did not.
You went out on Thursday without us.
And we did not go out.
I'm sorry.
I didn't realize we were like closely watching that text.
I was like, if you guys decide to do anything that remotely includes having a beverage,
that's probably what I should have said.
Oh.
Somebody went out Thursday and didn't invite us.
Yeah, and then sent a picture.
Look at me with all these people we don't know.
Who did that?
You.
Did I?
You were out of town, right?
No, this was Thursday.
You were, what do we call that, tear shaming?
Yeah.
Tear.
Because you're like, I'm not going to make the total wine.
And then Sean's like, yeah, I went out last night.
That's right.
He goes, well, that's okay, because I got my tear in last night.
Yeah.
You know, it was kind of cool though.
The guys from, I forget even why that happened.
Oh, that's right.
So Saturday night, we went out.
Saturday night.
I mean, I played video games and there is a group, one of the guys I play with is one
of the guys from total wine and he's got a couple of friends.
And we said, well, you know, you play video games every night.
You kind of talk to him, get to know him a little bit.
And he's coming to town because his family lives here.
He lives in California.
He's coming in.
He's heading over to Mexico.
We had like a window of a night to go and do something.
And Stan was kind of like, eh, let's go meet for a beer.
And so I was like, I'll meet for a beer because I play with them all the time.
A beer.
A few beverages.
So just note that.
Note that.
Do it in Donk Creek.
Listeners, note that.
A beer.
I had two beers.
Three beers.
And how many shots?
I did not have any shots.
Really?
I had three bourbons, but they weren't shots.
Three bourbon and waters.
Bourbon straight?
No.
Maybe a shot of bourbon that you sipped.
Oh, it's ice cube.
Yeah.
Does he listen to the podcast?
Yeah.
He's actually one of the few that comment on the Instagram.
He comments on it.
He's like, I wish it was better.
He couldn't find the time to bring him over to show him the setup here?
Yeah.
Well, you were leaving at...
Four.
Yeah.
You bumped it up and it didn't work out.
So that's just what it is.
Yeah.
Jeff was like, what time do I need to say where they don't come over?
Four.
Oh, we were going to make it.
We got to leave at 3.30.
We got to leave at 3.00.
Sorry, they changed the flight.
I was primed, fully erect and ready.
Wow.
Yes.
So what were you expecting to happen when they came over?
I thought it was a chick.
He was right there.
Wow.
So glad we didn't show up.
I was just standing there.
That would have changed my life.
Hey, guys, I'm erect.
I'm walking in and see that.
It's a dude.
I am out forever.
I am done with all of it.
Sean's like, keep the mics.
I'll ban it.
Everything.
I'm out.
Now, the thing is, they listened to the podcast.
They enjoyed it.
They had fun with it.
And it was a good experience to go out there.
Plus, it was a bonus because I wasn't expecting those other people from Total One to be there.
You know, Kevin was there.
Thumbs up.
Kevin, what's up, bro?
Oh, nice.
Why didn't I see Kevin in the picture?
He was there.
Why did we just lost Kevin?
No, he was there.
I'm just kidding.
I love his story.
His story was awesome.
Agent Johnny's Secret.
His story was awesome.
I like Kevin.
It was.
And he was there.
And there were a few other people.
I don't remember their names, you know, but there was just, it doesn't matter.
But they're all good people.
They're really all good people.
And I gave my card to one of the gentlemen there that he's there.
He's like, I'm there from like six or seven in the morning to two in the afternoon.
And I'm done.
That's it.
My job.
That's what he does.
Yeah.
And I was like, dude, you got to love that, man.
Get there.
The crack of ass.
And then leave at two thirty and you got the whole God bless the day to yourself.
There you go.
Son of a cow horn.
I'm in.
Yeah, that'd be cool.
And plus he's the guy that is the person that has the best opportunity to do the reconnaissance
for some of the upcoming deliveries.
To give you an alert.
Yeah.
So I definitely.
So that when Jeff is circling total wine at ten thirty in the morning.
He's there.
He's around.
He's already there.
He's circling the place.
So you know what?
Yeah, that was fun.
Oh, there's a picture right there.
Yeah, I don't see Kevin.
I don't I was going to say I briefly looked at the picture and I didn't see.
Was he taking a deuce there?
I didn't see him there.
I think he went to the bathroom.
Did you imagine?
Yeah, he must have gone to the bathroom.
No, I've got I've got a couple of pictures.
Let me see here.
Well, he was there.
I'll send it to you.
But because there were so much more people there.
We don't need proof that Kevin was there.
It's OK.
It's like that was after like your third shot there.
You had no idea where you were.
Who was that?
Assholes.
I'm looking.
There's like 30 glasses on the table.
Because he had a beer.
You guys let me see here.
I see one, two, three low balls right by you.
Oh, proof.
Suck it.
There's Kevin right there.
You Photoshopped in Kevin.
He's a cool dude.
I like him a lot.
Anyway, so I have determined, you know how when you go to a happy hour and you you know,
you're trying to you know, you enjoy the company of who you're with.
And you're like, OK, and your wife is like, don't drink too much.
You know, if you need to call me, I'll you know, Uber.
Well, pick you up.
And you always have to figure out doesn't do that.
You always have to figure out like what is the right amount of alcohol to drink and still
be 100 percent OK to drive.
There are some people that like a gallon you if you have a drop, then you you know, you
can't drive.
There are some people like to that point.
And then there were people like, oh, my God, I can have eight and I can stay between the
lines and I'm a better driver, you know, when I drink that much.
Right.
So you think you are.
You think you are.
So I have found I met my former CIO.
He just out of the blue reached out to me.
It was like, hey, you know, let's get together.
What do you want to do?
You want to do a happy hour?
Do you want to do lunch?
Do you want to do a happy hour?
So we we met out some in the middle of somewhere, this cool place in Flower Mound.
And we sat down and the three of and we had we had the two of us.
We had some appetizers and we had three old fashions and it was perfect.
Like it was we were there at four thirty and we left at seven thirty and three old fashion.
I have figured out if I'm going to do if I'm going to do a happy hour an hour, one an hour
and an old fashioned an hour and it was perfect.
It was perfect.
Does not compute.
That's I don't know how you did that.
Good for you.
But something about those old fashions, they can be dangerous.
Well, they're dangerous at Rebels.
Dangerous one.
But just in general, I mean, just because when you're drinking them, I mean, there's
no sipping it.
I mean, you can sip it.
We sipped.
You sip it.
Yeah, we sipped.
We sipped.
No, no, no.
We're not sipping it.
Obviously.
But I'm saying is that there's there's got to be a gulp every now and then.
Yeah, we there wasn't that was that I think.
Maybe that's the key, right?
You're not consuming any, you know, not too much in any one moment to overwhelm your blood
sugar.
Right.
Yeah, I'm out.
I don't really like the I really enjoy old fashions.
I like I really enjoy them.
Yeah, I'm not going to really drink them anymore because you pound them.
It's because you're saying I mean, I'm not I'm not judging.
No, no, no.
You drink them quickly.
It's because the amount of sugar in them.
Yeah, if you drink too much, you get drunk.
Period.
You will feel like shit.
Oh, yeah.
It's the sugar in it.
And I think that's exactly that's the bottom line for me because I'm on this big kick of
what food is bad, what food is not.
Sure.
And I'm thinking everything is bad.
I'm negative about everything.
I'm negative.
Doesn't matter.
I'm well, I mean, whatever.
That's nature's.
But it's not it's not fucking honey.
It's not.
It could be.
It could be, but it's not.
It could be a honey.
Honey are like 99 to the whole of that.
Hold on.
What am I?
Honey is bad for you.
No, no, no.
What I'm saying is I am not going to drink old fashioned anymore because I am trying
to avoid the amount of sugar and period.
I got you.
And I think the bleached sugars is horrible for you.
Anything bleached?
You're trying to avoid all sugars.
I like to some degree.
I am trying.
Yes.
Like to some degree.
I might.
I have a weakness for chocolate.
All right.
I'm going to go with that.
Louie goes outside of that.
I mean, dude, I don't even drink milk in my coffee anymore.
I mean, I'm determined across the line.
Did you eat a whole bag of sweet tart ropes?
What?
I'm trying to figure out who this was.
That's the most random question I have ever heard anyone.
Actually, anyone asked anyone.
It's on the group chat of the St. Patty's Day party.
And it says there's a picture.
It says, who ever ate all the ropes?
It said, your mom's a hoe.
Oh my gosh.
I didn't know this was a group text message.
Who's the group chat?
That was dad.
He was binge eating them last night.
I don't know who these numbers are.
They don't have phone numbers.
Oh, yeah.
This is your group chat.
This is your St. Patty's Day group chat.
I don't know who all the numbers are either.
Yeah.
OK.
It says your dad was binge eating them last night.
No, first of all, I had some sweet tarts.
There we go.
So, Tera Box.
Now the truth.
The film is leaking out.
No, no.
Tera ordered, what does it say?
Oh, good Lord.
There's the picture.
It was a bag of, it had sweet tarts in it.
And they were like these.
In a rope.
There's three bags in the trash.
I didn't eat all those.
Sean?
It didn't happen.
Was it organic sugar in those sweet tarts or something?
I'm just saying as a practice, as a practice, I don't like to do that.
That was an isolated moment and I really failed that night.
Yeah.
We all have weaknesses.
We all fail.
And I don't, the idea is they're lifestyle choices.
And, you know, I try to make those lifestyle choices, but, you know, we weak all the time.
Yeah.
Yeah, I didn't know if that was you or not.
I was like, because I don't know who all those numbers were.
I don't know who that was, but fuck them.
But they ratted you out.
Somebody ratted somebody.
They ratted me out.
Because the truth is, is that I did eat some.
I ate a tremendous amount of candy that night and I don't know what the deal is.
They say that sugar.
Because you've been starving your body of sugar to crave for power.
They're saying that the sugar is like the number one addictive thing on the planet.
Oh yeah.
For sure.
And that happened that night.
And I am living proof that that's what happened because I started, I scratched the surface
of it and all of a sudden.
You couldn't stop.
I couldn't fucking stop.
And you know what?
Sugar, yeah, it's great.
But I turned around and fasted the next day.
And I've been doing that.
I've been doing that on Mondays.
I fast every single Monday.
That's a new thing in my life.
Fast every single Monday and then the rest of the days I try to tame my eating until
Friday.
And then Friday I eat everything.
No, I'm joking.
Fridays.
I know there's a lot of calories in take on Fridays sometimes because we have a couple
of drinks and I kind of reserve room for that.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I'm not a believer in the eat less.
I don't think it works.
What?
Eating less doesn't work?
Yeah, it does.
I'll tell you what.
It may not work for everybody.
It works for me because the proof is in the pudding and my belt is, my waist is getting
smaller.
But have you weighed yourself?
I'm not going to weigh myself.
So we don't know if it's working.
So am I pushing my fat up?
I should clarify.
Your body could be changing.
I don't know.
I should clarify.
So generally what happens is people, they fast and then they don't eat and then they
eat like a gigantic meal.
Oh yeah, that's not going to work.
That doesn't work.
No, no.
It is a hundred percent about how much you eat.
Yeah.
How much you eat and if your blood sugar spikes.
For me, what I do is I don't eat, when I eat Sunday, after dinner I don't eat and I may
have a snack late Sunday because I know I'm going to fast so it doesn't fucking matter.
But after like six to eight, I don't eat again until Tuesday.
And then when you eat on Tuesday, what do you eat?
How much?
The first thing I do in the morning on Thursday, on Tuesday morning I have five Brazilian nuts,
a full lemon with juice, cayenne pepper.
This is after a day of fasting?
Yes.
I have a full lemon.
I juice it and I put it in a cup.
I add a shitload of cayenne pepper, a shitload of cayenne pepper to it.
I stir it, slam it.
I have a cup of coffee.
I have water.
Does that also screw around with your blood sugar?
What the lemon?
Fasting.
It might.
Because your blood sugar will drop.
So you know.
Because there is, there is, you can have low blood sugar.
And that's bad.
I have a problem with my blood sugar.
You know, I was told to try it, to see if it's going to work.
And there are a lot of positive things about fasting.
They say that after 20 hours of fasting, that your body starts to eat itself essentially.
Muscles are fat.
Bad cells.
It eats muscle first.
Bad cells.
Yeah, it does eat muscle first.
It does, it does, it does.
But at the same time, it's eating all of it.
Yeah, so when they say it's eating muscle, yeah.
If you're fucking working out and you're getting button built up, yeah, it's going to eat muscle.
If you're like this, it's not going to eat muscle.
Well it does eat your muscle still.
It eats everything.
But if you add the ratios, the fat is going to be more predominant than the muscle.
If you're a muscle bound and you're full of muscle, yeah, the ratio is going to be set.
Of course, if you're lean like a bodybuilder, there's no fat to eat.
That's my point.
So don't be distracted by it's going to eat the muscle.
Because that's not the point.
Again, the proof is in the pudding.
I'm down two belt notches.
Period.
That's great.
Well you need to weigh yourself.
I'm not going to weigh myself.
I know you're afraid to, but you need to to prove it to yourself.
I'm going to wait for another month and then I'll weigh myself.
How's that?
I want you to because I want you to, I don't want you to get bad news, but I want you to
feel good about it too.
Like yes, I just validated that it's working.
Right.
Instead of counting the belt notches.
Well, I mean, Preston told me that it looks like I've lost weight.
My neighbor who I haven't seen in two months says, damn dude, you look like you've lost
a lot of weight.
I see you too often to be able to, because when you see people every day or frequently,
it's hard to notice those changes.
Yeah.
And he said that to me today.
You know, I haven't seen him in a couple of months and I was like, hey man, you need to
come over to the St. Patty's Day party at Murphy's Pub.
You know, and let me know what's.
Yeah, and the pub crawl.
And he was like.
Only on St. Patty's Day can you do pub crawls.
It's got to be a special event.
Yeah.
Did we finish with our Pikesville?
Oh no, we didn't even talk about it.
It was first produced in Maryland in the 1890s.
This is a Heaven's Hill product.
Is it really?
1890s?
That's what it says.
This is a Heaven's Hill product.
Yeah, first of all, Heaven's Hill is good.
It's solid.
You know, if you get one of the Hunterproof bottle of Bond, that stuff is solid.
I remember when we first started getting it, it was like 45 bucks.
Now it's like 55, right?
Oh yeah.
It's crazy.
Price has gone up big time.
Six years old, 110 percent.
That's what I was going to drive at.
60 years old.
It's good stuff.
But you know what kind of crazes me out?
I'm going to change the subject completely about Pikesville and jump into Rebecca's Creek.
How Rebecca's Creek can have like a 12 year old bourbon.
It trips me out.
That's MGP though, isn't it?
But it's 12 years old.
You can't age product like that here in Texas.
I think it's, I don't think it's been aged 12 years in Texas.
Rebecca's Creek hasn't been aged.
I think it's probably aged up in Indiana somewhere and they bring it down here.
They may have aged a little bit more down here, but I was watching.
What's that based on?
How do you know that?
I was watching a video about still Austin and they're like here in Texas.
Now they're in Austin.
I think Rebecca's Creek is San Antonio.
So it's close.
They're like if you age it too long because our summers are so long, it's too and it doesn't
get as cold.
So our product ages faster because we have a longer aging time than Kentucky.
So product that age.
So a product that's six, seven, eight years old in Kentucky we could do in two to three
years here in Texas.
So what happens when you overage it because of Texas climate?
I don't know.
I think that's a question to Rebecca's Creek.
Hey, was that age 12 years in Texas?
I'm a huge fan.
It's delicious.
Oh yeah, Rebecca's Creek, that Spanish double bear Spanish oak.
It's by far one of my favorites.
It's absolute a must in your collection.
So I've got a question.
It's just like the 1845.
They're aged 44 to 48 months, four years max right now.
And they're great.
The winning awards.
They're mature.
It's a mature bourbon.
What's it going to taste like at six years?
I mean I think they're trying to get that.
You can't overage it.
Bob said they're going to have like they've got that same, the oldest barrel that they've
got.
I don't know.
The very first one, yeah.
I don't know.
They're aging it.
Yeah, they are.
But he said they're going to age it for a long time.
He says he has no idea what it's going to taste like and he doesn't even care.
He's like just fucking age it.
Well you know the reality is they didn't know what the very first barrel is going to taste
like.
That's true.
It's all gamble.
It is a gamble and damn what a great gamble.
1845 Distillery just went up to in Lara Crossing, just went up to Colorado and picked up another
medal.
Amazing.
Their success is shockingly amazing.
They hit the lottery from the get go.
Bob and June petted from the 1845 Distillery.
Those guys, listeners out there.
Such good people too.
Listeners out there, you can't get 1845 unless you go to the Texas and you grab it at the
distillery.
However, they've got some contracts lined up and hopefully you'll be able to grab them
at your local stores.
The price is going to be a little bit more expensive now.
It's going to go up about 10, 15 bucks.
But I mean it's a solid bourbon.
I enjoy it.
We need to go up there and grab the latest bottle.
And Andrea with the Frisco Women's League needs a bottle.
And I've already talked to June and she's ready and has our swag set up for us.
Let's go up there Saturday, pick it up.
Well what do we got going on Saturday?
Oh that's right.
That's not happening.
That's your party.
You have to prep for it.
Well I mean unless we go, we need to leave at like 11.
Well they don't open until noon.
Then we need to be outside the front door.
Just waiting.
Just staring.
Hi June.
Hi.
Are you open?
Hello.
What is it?
The Mervins commercial?
Yeah.
Open, open, open.
Oh my god.
The Black Friday.
Open, open, open.
Mervins.
Does that place sell?
No, I don't think so.
You pulled that out of nowhere.
Mervins crazy.
Well let's go up there on Saturday.
First thing.
Pick up the swag bag.
We need to pick up that and we need to pick up, I'll text her to make sure it's available.
But it's the, I want the new bottle out.
You know what really fucking pisses me off?
Number 49 isn't that the one you got?
Yeah I have that and I already have it.
Like.
What?
Number 49?
No, but so it's another single barrel.
Each single barrel is going to be different.
I get it.
But I already have a single barrel that's weeded.
Is that weeded or is it forgeri?
I don't know which one you have.
I think it's weeded.
I'm getting confused on what I have and what I don't have.
So I told you my son was in town this past week.
He was in town for two or three days.
The night before he left, I don't know what I was doing.
I think we went to the movies.
We went to go see.
Oppenheimer.
No we went to go see.
Barbie.
I was just going to say that.
Dune.
Barbie.
We went to go see Dune.
Part two?
Yeah part two.
It was actually kind of good.
It was alright.
It was.
Any nudity?
No.
Also.
I don't like that.
I'm out.
But it was alright.
It has to happen.
It's got a good storyline.
But the problem with the Dune right now is that it's too slow.
It's too slow.
There's a lot of story to it.
So if you walk into Dune without seeing Dune 1, your part one, you're kind of lost.
I plan on watching the first one again.
And Dune 1 was not that great either.
I enjoyed it.
I like Dune.
Have you watched the original Dune?
I did.
I have to watch that.
Do you want to watch Sting?
Sting and Kyle McLaughlin.
Who?
He was a tradies.
What's his name?
Yeah.
He was in the police.
No, he was in Twin Peaks.
Oh, you're talking about Sting from?
No, Sting was in the police.
He was a Harkonnen.
I thought the singer of police was in the movie Dune.
He was a Harkonnen.
Yes.
He was the one who fought all the tradies.
I know, but his comment was funny.
Yes.
Sting was in the police.
Yes.
Really?
Yeah, Kyle McLaughlin was a politradies.
Who was the super fat guy on the platform floating around?
He was a mess.
He was ugly.
He was gross.
He oozed.
Yes.
They did that very well in that movie.
The original, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, he was gross.
He's still gross.
He was.
He was so nasty.
Everybody was all sweaty and gross.
It was hot there.
It was a desert.
He was oily.
Yeah.
They had to harvest their own sweat and they could drink it.
They did.
They showed that on the Dune part two a lot.
There was somebody cried or something.
I think that's why they have the good beer.
They don't waste sweat.
That's right.
Do they urinate?
I'm sorry, what?
Do they collect their urine?
You can do that in a survival mode.
But they did share that part in the movie.
I'm sure they had some sort of catheter set up, but they didn't show that in the movie.
A lifelong catheter.
Who knew that urine was that versatile?
Like in Red Dawn, they peed in the radiator.
Remember that?
That's a fluid.
In the original radiator?
Wouldn't there be some minerals that kind of clog the closes?
I don't know.
Kind of gum it up.
But you can, like if your pee would gum shit up.
Yeah.
My pure, pure, pure.
So Preston, after watching Dune, Preston comes over to the house.
I mean Preston's there.
And I've had, so we go to the movie theater.
Prior to going to the movie theater.
Did you bring your buffet?
I went to the store.
We went to Kroger and we picked up, I picked up a 24 ounce Foster's.
A half a bottle of Merlot.
You know like in the little.
Half a bottle?
Well it came in a little box.
It was a small little box thingy.
It was a huge bottle.
No, no.
It was just a little, you know it's got a little screw cap thing.
So I put that in my little satchel and I slammed the 24 ounce Foster's on the way up there.
And hold on, hold on.
You went where?
Where were you going?
To the movie.
So we went to the movie.
To the movie.
You didn't have Evan Williams 100?
No, no bourbon.
No bourbon.
Oh yeah, good call.
So we get to the movie theater and then we do our thing.
We watch the movie.
It's great.
I've had a couple of drinks.
But I'm a little toasty by the time we're done.
Because Preston's like, hey how about you a beer?
And I drank a beer.
And plus I drank a half a bottle of wine.
And I'm a little toasty.
We get back to the house and Preston's kind of like, what's he got all this bourbon in
here?
What the hell is that?
And he's like, why do you have so many 1845 bottles?
What the hell man?
You're like, stay away.
That's exactly what I said.
Started to panic?
And he, he pulled, yes.
I started to panic.
Because he pulls out the bottle that was just provided by June.
And he ripped open the top.
He ripped the top off and started drinking it?
That motherfucker broke the seal.
He didn't break it 100%.
But he twisted it.
He moved the seal and it broke.
It just lost 80% of its value.
You'll never be able to sell the collection now.
You'll never be able to sell the collection.
I pulled the bottle out.
We've got all those bottles back there.
I pulled the bottle out and I tell him, this is probably the most prized possession of
the 1845 collection.
And he looks at me and he's like, oh.
And he breaks it open.
He grabs the bottle and he touches the cellophane and he's like, and you hear the crack?
You're like, dude.
Why would you do that?
Because he is an instigator.
That's why.
Did you just fucking pull?
He's an instigator, just like his father.
He pulled the fucking, I was like, dude, I heard it.
He said, I didn't, it was already read.
I said, dude, I fucking heard it.
I heard it.
Really?
So you're like all upset and like breaking shit?
No, I wasn't hurt.
I mean, I think of the day, I don't give a fuck.
So did you guys finish the bottle?
No, no, he didn't.
He didn't rip it off 100%.
But still, I was still, I was kind of like, dude, really?
Because it's collectible.
That's why you bury the shit in the backyard.
Dude, it was.
That's why you keep it safe.
Barrel one.
There you go.
Barrel one.
The original barrel?
Barrel one.
It's their first bottling.
Are you kidding me?
How'd you get that one?
June told you?
June got it for you?
Yeah, they had three bottles left.
Of the original barrel.
Correct.
Are you kidding me?
It was gifted.
So technically it belongs to dudes like us.
Yeah.
So bring it over here.
I'm gonna call Preston now and yell out of them.
Yeah, I am too.
You broke the seal.
But we're never gonna drink it.
Ever.
I wouldn't say that.
I think we wait a few years to see what happens.
Post-apocalyptic?
Oh, when an asteroid's about to hit the earth?
That's when we break the shit open.
Dude, we're all gonna get so fucked up.
We're gonna haul acid to Jeff's house and just down everything.
And then it misses us.
Fuck!
Is there anything left?
There's nothing left, is there?
No, it fucking missed us.
Fucking Paul and Jeff died.
Great news!
It bounced off the atmosphere.
Boink!
Fuck!
I'm gonna die of alcohol.
Pump, pump, pump!
Oh my god.
What a horrible scenario.
Anyway, I rank this.
We don't have a lot of rise.
The Pike...
Well, rise becoming more and more popular.
I mean, I'm enjoying it.
This right here, Pikesville has got a good score on here.
I'm not gonna give it a 7 and 5.
I'm gonna give it a 7.
7-1.
You know the irony?
It is probably one of the best noses.
I can't really smell right now.
My nose is hard.
It is probably the best nose I have.
It ranks with the top anything I've ever smelled.
Now, the taste is not as great as the best.
I'd give it a...
It's a ride.
I'd give it a 6-9.
I give it a 7.
Plus 7.
Very unique.
It's desirable.
I don't have a lot of rise.
I like it.
I enjoy it.
It's 110 proof.
So look, there's something to be said about being 110 proof.
Because being 110 proof in the market is so much better than being under 100 proof in
my eyes.
In fact, not just my eyes, the majority of bourbon drinkers' eyes.
I agree with that as well.
So being 110 just kind of sets the bar high enough.
It's got flavor.
It's got so much flavor.
It does.
But I'm going to give it a 6-6.
What a dick.
So we're going to drop the high and the low and that leaves us with a 7.
That's the high.
I gave it 6-9.
So it's a 6-9.
Yeah, but it's to the highest 10th.
Oh, you rounded up.
How's that work now?
What's your algorithm?
Algorithm.
There is so much we have not talked about.
I know we're coming up on time here pretty, but there are so many things.
We can save it for next week.
Let's talk about that.
All right.
So SpaceX.
I don't know much about this.
All right.
So they have produced, they have created the largest rocket ever in history.
I thought I read the press that SpaceX failed.
Yes, it failed.
It's just an epic failure.
But they have built the largest rocket ever.
And this is what's really interesting.
Is that it right there?
Okay.
First off, NASA is going to use it to go to the moon and Elon Musk wants to use it to
go to Mars.
Okay.
It's overkill for the moon and it's just what is needed for Mars.
Which one is it called?
Is it the Falcon 9?
Is the Falcon Heavy?
Which Falcon 9?
Falcon Heavy.
It's the Falcon Heavy.
And there's so much I could talk about, but here's what makes it so complicated.
Going to the moon and going to Mars.
When it launches, it has to transfer fuel after launching.
So it launches and then at some point when there's a stage separation or before the stage
separation there's a transfer of fuel that allows it to go the extra voyage to Mars or
to the moon.
So where does it get, you said transfer from what?
I know.
I need to read that a little more because they said that is what is so complicated about
this rocket.
It's the transfer of fuel in mid-flight.
They have pickup trucks with two tanks.
You just flip a switch.
I know and that's what I was like.
You guys are stupid.
You guys are so stupid.
Idiots.
We know how to do this.
I know.
Just time it.
It's going to take a 10 minute switch.
Anyway, this was the third flight and it made it all the way to orbit.
It orbited the earth once and it failed on reentry and of course the liberal media was
like it fails again.
Traditionally on the podcast on the second half it's always so fast.
So fast.
It is.
It's March 14th, no producer tonight.
So things were kind of different looking up shit right now.
The dudes like us.
I'm Sean.
I'm Paul.
And I'm Jeff.
