Welcome to part two.
The dudes like us podcast.
I'm used to hearing this quicker because I play you guys in 1.25 speed.
Oh, so we sound like that.
Pretty much.
No, it's more like bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.
It's actually a cooler song if you play it faster.
Do I sound better in 1.5 or in 1?
1.25.
Yeah, so I sound better.
An hour podcast goes down to like 45 minutes.
Oh, very nice.
So should we start making our podcast 45 minutes?
No, because then it would be 30.
Yeah, because he'll always play it.
You can make an hour and a half and I can do it in it.
He doesn't know how to change the setting.
It's always going to be 1.25.
So we have to stick with the hour 15.
No, but speed that music up.
It's cool.
Interesting.
OK, I don't believe that's it, is it?
It's not it.
It is.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Are we going straight to the bourbon?
No.
Here we are.
Second half of our June 5th.
Is it June 5th?
Yes, it is June 5th.
Because June 6th is D-Day.
That's right.
So we think the guys were thinking this time.
When they jumped on the boat?
Where they were launching this time.
So D-Day is tomorrow.
You know you're about to breach this beach.
Yeah.
How much do you think they really told you're on Omaha Beach?
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
So folks, welcome to the dudes like us podcast.
We have our host.
I'm Sean and Paul.
I'm Jeff and I'm guest.
Chuck.
He is a guest.
Chuck Chuckster.
Thank you for coming back.
Had been here two years.
You sassy, frassy mofo.
You can't fight this on it.
I don't know.
You're like, dude, why'd you come back?
No, I'm not ready.
I don't know.
I'm not ready.
I imagine they're shitting bricks.
Well, I had to have my transition surgery first.
So I appreciate you guys waiting.
It's June.
I want to come out in June.
And I appreciate you guys as super gay headbands that you got rocking here today.
Good thing Sean for those.
Oh yeah.
Why aren't we wearing them?
Rainbow band.
This is June.
Pride.
You don't get one.
I got Pride.
This is the these these bad bandana Danas are from the the burger joint in downtown Oklahoma
city called Spark.
So Spark, they sell fantastic burgers.
I was down there and they had these guys.
They were like in these official little roller skate outfits with the tight pants and go
fast stripes, tall white socks.
And they had these bandanas.
And I was like, hey, you got those bandanas for sale.
Yes, they're like thirty thousand dollars apiece.
I was like, I'll have four, but you only bought three because you know, not before about one
for Austin and us.
But you know what, Chuck?
What move forward?
I will include you because you are a main component of the dudes like us podcast.
But yeah, you guys look like you're gay beyond Borg's.
Be your check us out on Instagram dudes like us dash podcast tests on Facebook dudes like
us podcast.
I mean, it's like redundant, right?
It might be, but you know, yeah, we're on things.
That's OK.
We're we're legit.
Yeah.
And how many episodes to one hundred?
But you do double two hundred.
They don't know the production stuff.
We have two hundred.
We have two over two hundred episodes at this point.
That is a huge accomplishment.
It really is.
And I'll tell you what, I got a big shout out to Jeff, whom has put out ninety nine
point nine percent of those.
Thank you.
I think it's more higher than that, actually.
Nine point nine nine nine nine nine nine nine nine.
Actually, it is because I edited one that never got posted.
So it is a well done.
Well done.
And they started at seventy five.
So let's just be fair.
To be fair, to be fair.
We have done that a long time.
Actually, I think we did it last episode.
We did.
Either last episode or the one before that, but before that, it's been quite a while.
That's that letter Kenny G.
Yeah, I started.
I started watching that again.
And it's it's smart, man.
Smart humor.
That's why you don't get a poem.
It's very short.
Have you gotten into Shorzy?
Did you get Shorzy?
I told you what what turns me off is.
Ticket bugger.
Yeah, it's the idiot.
Ticket bugger.
The only clips you guys ever send me.
Why don't you go fuck your mother?
Yes.
The only clips you ever send me is that fucking annoying guy.
So it makes me go, OK, I'm not going to watch the show.
He's a writer.
He's the main star.
Because that guy is so irritating.
He's he's he's got a very small part in that show.
Well, then I might watch it because I find him annoying.
He's not a main character.
No, Wayne from Hang on Wayne from Letter Kenny is Shorzy.
It's a lab sample.
No commercial value.
Lab sample for testing purposes only.
Yeah, we're checking out.
We're verifying that the the bourbon sample that we're doing for the.
Yeah, we're trying to pull up the specs so that we're prepared when we do talk about
it.
But we're not talking about it right now because right now we're talking about D Day.
We're talking about D Day.
Well, I asked the question, I was like, what do you think was going through the the soldiers
minds just the front line guys?
Six hours before they left, I don't know what I didn't know what time they left in the morning
to make the journey over the English Channel to get there.
Right.
Probably four days prior.
No, it's probably six hour boat trip.
Actually they're probably on the destroyer and then they launched off of that.
Right.
Or whatever the loaders, the landers.
Right.
But you always wonder how much those little mini boats.
There's a name for them.
They look like shoeboxes.
Those did not come all the way.
Right.
They all loaded them on a bigger ship and then they loaded them off.
Yes.
And then and then and then landing vehicles came.
The two carriers that went back and forth to the destroyers.
Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
But per the Dwight D. Eisenhower website here, the World War Two D-Day, the invasion of Normandy,
the D-Day operation of June 6, 1944 brought together the land, air and sea forces of the
Allied armies in what became the known as the largest amphibious invasion in military
history.
Operation gives code name Overlord delivered five naval assault divisions to the beaches
of Normandy, France.
The beaches were given the code name Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juneau and Sword.
All this stuff is crazy.
There was a ton of people, seven thousand ships, even those little landing crafts that
were what was the name of that?
What was that?
Persever Private Ryan?
Yes.
I mean, that movie was insane.
I know, Paul, you mentioned that you saw it and cried.
You know, I saw it, didn't cry, but I felt like I was I was in awe.
I walked away.
Actually, when I that man of brothers were very ripping emotionally.
Right.
Yes.
It was crazy.
You know, the whole experience is crazy because you think about the age of the kids and Jeff
brought up, you know, what are they experiencing in that boat?
Let's say you're being dispatched off off the main boat and you're in that small fucking
shoe box and you're heading towards the beach.
You have no idea what you're getting pummeled by waves, vomiting.
Oh, and then you're in range of machine guns and you're hearing this bleep bleep bleep bleep
bleep bleep bleep bleep.
And you're like, oh, anything because you're below the fucking you're below the level.
So you can't see it.
And the bullets are going through some of the armor of the boats.
And they were killing people in the boats before they even got out.
So they were in the ship, hitting the beach.
And before that fucking little front little land ramp drops, they're already dead.
So people are jumping over the sides to say themselves that they see their brothers in
front of them just perish, which they would die also because of the weight of their other
shit made them sink.
Absolutely horrific.
Horrific.
Or they lost half their shit and they don't have their gun or their helmet anymore.
And then they managed to get to the beach.
I mean, would you rather would you rather do the beach headway or be dropped behind
airborne?
And they were spread all over.
I'd like to see what's behind door number three.
I read something where the paratroopers missed their location.
They're supposed to do some damage prior to them getting there, but they were they were
off course.
Yes, they got spread out all over the place.
That could have changed the course of D-Day.
Yeah, it could have.
And some beaches were easier to, you know, land on than others.
They didn't know which beach was most fortified or whatever.
And they would do blimp aerial reconnaissance and try to take pictures.
But man, you never know what was all built into the rocks.
OK, right.
Yeah.
They're concrete set in stone or whatever.
They're all.
Well, in a big part of it was they they were not heavily fortified or or or or they didn't
have a lot of soldiers on the West Coast.
Had they the Germans had they had they.
Yeah, then it would have been a totally different outcome.
But they were able to establish and apparently they couldn't.
I know this sounds stupid, but apparently they couldn't wake up Hitler.
Hitler didn't want to be disturbed.
And his generals wanted to do something because they got intel or something.
But they couldn't wake him up.
And you guys have you guys ever heard that story?
Is that that movie where he's talking about, you know, he's talking to his generals and
he's slamming the table and he's saying, if I'd only just, you know, do the reality is
if he had listened to his generals, it would have been a different outcome that war.
But I don't know.
Maybe not.
It's always easy to say that kind of shit.
We've all played access and allies, right?
Yeah, right.
Then the access never wins.
Oh, OK.
Oh, they never mind.
Yeah, never mind.
Never.
Yeah.
And you've got too many too many American manufacturing plants.
They just throw, you know, bombers and tanks.
Ever watch a man in the high castle?
Is that the one we started to watch?
That's the word.
If Germany did win and they took over half the United States, the Japanese and Germany
win the war.
Yeah.
Is it good?
I tried to watch it through two to three seasons and Julie tapped out.
So I haven't picked it back up.
Yeah, I like it.
You made it out.
Shelly tapped out halfway through the first season.
Yeah, I tapped out like on the second episode.
It may have been two.
I don't watch anything with my wife.
Nice.
I can watch anything I want.
Did you want to acolyte?
There's no tapping.
No pass.
No, I like the the new fact Star Wars thing they got going on.
Yes.
No tapping.
I mean, I'm going to watch it.
They're transitioning.
But I'm going to pass.
I don't care if it's Star Wars or not.
I'm not going to.
I'm not going to succumb.
I'm going to watch it.
At what point do you go?
Yeah, I'm done.
I'm not there.
So do you still have Disney?
I'm there.
Do you still have Disney Disney Plus?
Yeah.
Anybody else?
No, I'm not.
I piggyback off of Sean's if I ever do watch it.
I think I've watched it once.
Yeah, I watched Sean's.
Oh, OK.
OK.
Yeah.
Well, a lot of people are cutting the cutting the hell out of Disney Plus.
Now, mine's bundled in my Hulu and I'm like, I don't pay anything extra for it.
So I'm like, well, it's there, you know.
So what am I going to do?
I'll watch Little Mermaid.
I haven't seen it.
I've never even heard of the new one coming out.
The acolyte.
It's a Jedi story.
So so what I read what I read one of the reviews guys read it.
They were saying that in the third episode, they start using pronouns.
Right.
And the the theme is that the Jedi's are is a theme of imperial power, you know, gender
white male misogyny that needs to be rebellious.
Yes, that the Jedi's collected all the power for themselves and their white cisgender men.
That is ridiculous.
They're aliens.
They're humans that live on Tatooine.
That's not true.
There are some of them are saying what they're pushing in the end.
That's because they're ignorant and fucking racist.
They say they throw cannon completely and white haters completely up.
Fuck them all.
But you're one at a time.
I'm going to watch it because I want the experience of it for the storyline.
I'm not I'm going to be disgruntled when I watch it, but I'm still going to watch it
because I'm a fan of Star Wars.
And hopefully I heard they throw Star Wars out the window in the third episode.
Yeah, they're not.
What does that mean?
The legacy, the cannon version of Star Wars.
That is unfortunate.
Out.
I haven't seen it.
I'm just reading.
This is what people are saying.
So ever since they brought the bombers that would like like drop bombs on destroyers in
what was that?
Well, that was the second one, wasn't it?
Yeah.
Episode eight.
Yeah.
And and I'm like, but there's no gravity in space.
Why are you dropping bombs on top of?
Why do you have bombers?
I mean, I get the corollary to like a World War Two bombing.
But like, why are you movies?
Yeah, the movie.
I'm so yeah, I kind of distract once that happened.
I'm like, they're not even bothering with like, like regular regular.
Yeah.
And I'm science, but like just regular.
They should have had a little jet to push them at least.
Yeah.
But I'm not sure I've ever noticed that.
And you're on top of one ship on top of the other and you release bombs.
It's just going to sit there.
It would just.
Oh, I see what you're saying.
Yeah, it was.
But I think.
Physics is wrong.
I.
Oh my God.
And if you have bombs, why don't you just shoot them from afar?
Why do you got to be over it?
Over a planet.
I think they're spring loaded with spring loaded.
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah.
They're powered by water.
Like that little puff ball that you pull a spring and it's like a little fart.
It's like those big balls that you go.
It's unfortunate.
I think I think Disney in itself has taken a huge hit.
You would think that they put the wrong people in charge.
What was it?
Snow White and the Seven Dumb Dumbs.
I put out with.
Why are they not learning?
I don't understand where the disconnect.
I think they are so far in because it takes years for movies and shows to be made.
Yeah.
And they have so much introduction already.
They wrote it already.
These are already baked.
But the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
They pulled little people.
I think they changed course.
I think they killed the movie.
I think they did.
They changed course.
Yeah.
Hopefully.
Well, what is it called again?
But all these things, the acolyte.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Or the acolyte.
Yeah, the acolyte.
One AC.
ACOCLYTE.
ACO.
Close?
No.
ACOCLYTE.
There it is right there.
Yeah.
There's a lot of women and.
It's all women.
A lot of gay sex.
And.
Tons of gay sex.
Yord.
The main character has two mothers.
Yes.
Two mothers.
Yeah.
Actually, OK.
Spoiler alert.
If you don't.
If you want to watch it.
Do they scissor the whole episode?
They do.
It's awesome.
They're just like flung it through space because there's no gravity.
There's no gravity.
Yeah.
And he's like, Mom, Mom, Mom one, Mom two.
Hey.
They're like X-Wings.
No, it's not a he.
It's a he.
It's a she.
It's a bunch of women.
They make like an X-Wing.
Look, I'm going to fill in a little bit of the narrative here or just a little context.
So I you've got these movies coming out.
Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, etc.
All these other phantom of the movies.
No, just additional mini series is coming out on Disney that reveal different experiences
from the perspective of different characters that you admire from those Mandalorian.
Yeah.
Obi-Wan.
Yeah.
And Ben Kenobi.
And you know, I think they're fantastic.
I really do.
Some of them are.
Yeah.
I think Andor.
I think Andor was great.
Yeah.
I think there's.
Yeah.
It was Boba Fett sucked.
I think Boba Fett.
Yeah.
I haven't watched.
I like Boba Fett.
I haven't watched any of them.
I liked them all.
I really do.
I liked them all.
And you know, I don't I only watched them once.
And so I'm different.
I'm dug in a little bit different from you guys from you guys.
I really enjoyed the whole big storyline.
And there's all these little tiny stories that pop up.
So this one, the acolyte, you know what?
Fuck them.
But it is a little tiny story, but there'll be more.
And you know, I'm not I'm going to watch it and I'm going to be a little disgruntled about
all this.
You'll be a lot to shit going on.
But at the end of it, it's it captures a little bit of a story of the Star Wars stuff because
it's kind of cool.
I like it.
I grew up with it.
It's a lifestyle for me.
I'm just imagining you watch it and you're like, what's a fucker?
What's a fuck?
Why?
Why ruin the experience?
Time is my point.
I can just hear you muttering to the TV the whole time.
You'll grab your teeth and you go, oh, yellow lightsaber.
Yeah, this is a yellow lightsaber.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm out.
They're trans.
No, it cannot have a yellow lightsaber.
Why not?
You have one.
But actually, the Luke action figure, the original one had a yellow lightsaber.
Is it saver or saber?
It's like a light.
It's not like a laser sword.
It's a sword.
It's not a mustache, not a saber, saber, saber.
I had to throw that out there.
So many people say it wrong.
I'm like, it's not a saber.
I'm like, saber.
It's a laser sword.
Yeah, I'm dug in on Star Wars.
I enjoyed it.
It's too bad based on that.
I knew about this coming out, but I didn't know about all the nonsense.
But this, you know, I mean, I rolled through two episodes and it didn't.
It didn't like irritate me to the point of checking out yet.
But I haven't been to three, right?
They only have the release the first two.
So they've set a pretty, pretty strong expectation.
Now you can watch it and be like, hey, that wasn't as bad as they said it.
Again, it's all about.
I would see it.
Maybe it won't be.
For example, like the movie solo with the Han Solo, that movie solo came out.
It was it was kind of garbage.
I didn't mind.
I watched that.
Think of Rogue One though.
Rogue One was badass, right?
Yeah.
The girl in there is the girl from the Dragon, right?
No, no, it's not.
No, it's not.
That's a solo.
The girl from what's her name?
Oh, no, she was in the Neres.
No, she was in solo.
She was solo's girl.
Yeah, that's what I just said.
Rogue.
We're talking moved on to Rogue.
Oh, I was talking about solo, which also has a girl.
Yeah, she has a girl too.
Yeah.
No, they're both cute.
But Daenerys is in.
Yeah.
Well, you got Felicity Jones that was in Rogue One.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I was talking about solo.
You guys moved on very quickly.
Yeah.
Well, you know, hang on tight.
They know Peter Cushing in there.
No, Peter Cushing's not in there.
Peter Cushing died like 40 years ago.
You know what?
He was CGI in there.
He was.
Yeah.
Tarkin was in there briefly.
Forrest Whitaker.
Oh.
Yeah, he was.
Yeah, it's all Guerrero, right?
Yeah.
He's really good in that species.
Remember species?
Species?
No, not feces.
Oh, OK.
That's a porn.
All right.
He was really good.
Species.
You ever see him in Apocalypse Now?
Two.
You ever watch Apocalypse Now?
Girls One Cup.
I think I saw it.
Apocalypse Now?
He was with that.
Yeah.
You guys all know about, right?
Species with the girl.
Species, yes.
Natasha Henstrich.
She's so freaking hot.
She's the hottest alien ever.
Ever.
Like ever.
You got to see her boobies.
Yeah, a little bit.
Oh, gosh.
A little bit.
A lot.
Did she do anything out besides species?
Species, two.
She didn't eat two.
And three.
Yeah.
How much more do you need?
Yeah.
That's a whole career.
She was, yeah.
Look at that.
You have Safe Search on.
She was smoking hot.
No question about it.
Even if she did eat you afterwards or make you into cocoon or.
What'd you say?
What'd you say you have Safe Search on?
Yeah, it's all blurred out.
Oh, my.
All the boobies are blurred.
Look at Jeff protesting.
Look at the boobs.
And I liked Life Force.
Look at Jeff protesting.
You have Safe Search on.
What are you, a pansy?
We're not at work.
How do you get rid of Safe Search?
What are you, gay?
Off.
Unbelievable.
Next one over.
It says off.
Oh, don't.
Don't click on that.
Don't click.
Oh, my God.
What have you done?
Hide my eyes.
1995 Rabbit Reviews.
Now we have.
Is that a penis?
Great.
That's the pod.
That's a vulva.
I got to do.
Oh, that's an arm coming out of there.
Oh, that's a head.
OK.
That's a baby arm.
I got to go to confession again.
Jesus.
Well, thanks a lot, guys.
Anyways, I'm going to watch this.
Virginize.
I'm going to watch it.
I'm going to watch them all.
I am.
You finished the bad batch yet?
No, I haven't finished the bad batch.
And there's a couple of the other cartoons.
I kind of I find time and for me, I'm kind of OCD about it.
I got to watch them all consecutive.
Well, you have to watch the bad batch.
You have to watch them in order.
Is that a Star Wars thing, too?
Yeah, it's very good.
We just finished it.
I haven't seen any of this shit.
And the new cartoon that replaces it also is so overwhelming.
When you fall this far behind, it's so overwhelming.
I don't even know where to start.
Well, the next one that comes out.
I just watch any of them.
They all have their own storyline.
They're not out of order if I watch it out of order?
No, not at all.
Yeah, well, you do.
You have to watch them in order.
See?
Start with episode four.
Darth Vader.
You don't.
Yes, you do.
You don't have to.
Damn it.
I'm getting conflicting information here.
The best Star Wars is coming from a Star Wars expert.
Who doesn't care?
You get the general concept of what happened.
But then I'll be like, wait a second.
They do it previously on, don't they?
But then I'll be like, he wasn't even born yet.
How could he be killing somebody that doesn't?
There's forecasting.
But the emperor's a baby.
How did he get over there?
Yoda was really small then.
Yeah, how did?
Baby Yoda is not Yoda.
Baby Yoda.
I'll be so confused.
Now, they have websites out there to put it all in order for you.
Baby Yoda is fucking annoying.
I wish they would do something with him.
And they never really did.
So cute.
He was just, that's all it was.
Adorable.
He was just this little icon that kids would be attached to.
It was merchandise.
I watched a couple of the episodes of the Manchurian.
Mandalorian.
The Manchurian.
And his name is Grogan.
Whatever.
Shut up.
Did you say Manchurian?
Baby Yoda moved stuff.
He made something happen.
He made like somebody not get hurt.
And he ate frogs too.
But he was a baby.
But he was like hundreds of years old.
You guys are expecting way too much from a baby Yoda.
Now, the thing about a lot of Star Wars movies is that anytime a new movie comes out, they
always have these gimmicky little tiny kid friendly characters.
It's for the, what do they call that in McDonald's?
What they call it?
McDonald's.
They have the little, the happy meal.
Yeah.
The happy meal with the little.
Merchandising.
Yeah.
With the little, little baby Yoda in it.
What was the big.
You guys ate that shit up.
Jar Jar Binks.
Time out.
When we were kids, happy meals were the fucking shit.
Were they not?
Never got a happy meal.
You never had a happy meal?
No, we didn't want to McDonald's.
What's a burger chef?
Can we have a moment of silence for Jeff's awful childhood?
Jeff never had fucking milk either.
He had powder milk.
What else did you have?
You never had a happy meal?
You never got the little toys?
No.
It done.
Can I hug you?
I'd get a hamburger and a small fry.
There you go.
And no happy meal.
And no ketchup.
You couldn't afford the ketchup either?
No, we were not in a good place.
And then you went back under the bridge?
Maybe some relish, a couple pickles.
Back to the bridge, back to your cardboard boxes.
Can I have extra pickles please?
Did you have lettuce?
You are so full of shit.
You are being honest.
You never had a happy meal with a little toy in it.
Dad, I know you bought a liter of soda pop.
Can I have some of that?
No, it's mine from my bourbon.
Oh shit.
Damn.
My dad would dole out measured chip servings for us.
Damn.
A chip, you mean french fry?
No, we're not British.
Does that explain everything we need to know about Jeff?
It says a lot.
Could be.
It says everything.
Could be.
Holy cow.
We need to have a therapy session about this.
There's an air of disgruntledness.
Well, no, it's an air of I'm going to get nothing.
So we have a second pour of Larson.
This is 125.
I just spilled the beans.
Ah, whatever.
It's okay.
Is it time to talk about the bourbon?
You know what?
We might as well talk about it.
Let's do it.
So our little power.
I was thoroughly confused when Sean first pulled this up because it's the same stuff,
but it's a lab sample.
Yeah, but it doesn't say what it has.
Our second half of the Dudes Like Us podcast bourbon sample is the Larson Barrel-Proof
Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey.
This is significant from the lens of A124 because if you look at it, it's kind of like
Maker's Mark.
They come up with fucking 15,000 different bourbons.
They'll have three releases a year.
They'll have A, B and C. So A is their first release of the year.
Yes.
But what does the number have?
I was like, how the fuck do you know all this shit?
A January of 24.
Yeah, but it is the same match bill.
You'll have B 524, then you have C 924.
So I took my first pull of it and I am first of all, it's you immediately said it was hot
when we were out there.
I don't taste very hot.
It's immediately sweet.
I think it's a sweet.
It's syrupy.
It's it's it packs a punch because it's a high proof.
It is.
It's a 4.2 and it tasted to me.
I enjoy this is perfect.
This is the problem.
I'm not saying it's bad.
I'm not saying it's bad, but you can taste it's powerful.
Yeah, you could taste the proof on it.
Put it that way.
It could probably run your car.
It's powerful.
It is good.
All right.
So this is the welcome to the two thousand twenty four folks.
Sure.
I know that we already have a month and a half under our belt as we did.
Yeah.
Would you know that?
No, I did not.
I didn't know that either.
So hold on.
I wonder.
I saw laser craigs.
I wanted to get down there.
So as far as I'm concerned, new year starts when Heaven Hill dropped the first of their
three times yearly batches of larceny barrel proof and Elijah Craig barrel proof.
I always look to Ford these really always look forward to these releases.
And why might that be?
You might ask because they're always delicious.
And this one is to hold on.
There you go.
Hey, you go.
So this is Heaven Hills, old Fitzgerald line of we did bourbons, which Jeff read the larceny
bourbon uses wheat instead of rise at the flavoring grain.
In this case, Heaven Hill tells us that the recipe is 68 percent corn.
Remember to be a bourbon needs to be over 51 percent corn in the mash bill, 20 percent
wheat and 12 percent malted barley.
This release being barrel proof means that there is no water added to the batch.
They dumped blend and bottle at whatever strength that comes out of the barrel.
And now, of course, sometimes leads to a very hot product like this one, which is over 120
proof.
First batch of this was so hot that I was worried about what they were trying to accomplish.
It has calmed itself a bit here and their intervening years, they're right intervening
years as well as you may see are sometimes very hot.
All right, take over.
Oh, oh, yes.
Speaking of different batches, if you run across this in the store, how do you know
which batch you have?
We talked about that.
Yes, we have.
We talked about the ABC first, second and third batch of the year.
Second part's the number to this point.
So we've been one five or nine month of the year.
Can't hold on.
You know, I was kind of I was kind of glossing over my part, which was seemed reasonable.
But this one is a very informative little narrative here talking about this when it
comes to the Larson Barrels.
The ABC is on the label.
You'll see it.
A and I didn't know that.
But the one five or nine is the month of the year came out.
Right.
And the 24 means it's the year.
I didn't know that.
Correct.
And the ABC is second or third batch.
The Elijah Barrel proofs are the same way.
Right.
That's that's good to know.
I had no idea.
Yes.
Some some there's a difference between all three.
A lot of the years, the C batches, for whatever reason, seem to get the most love.
All right.
So it's six to eight years old.
It's sixty two point one percent alcohol by volume.
So let's let's talk about when you smell it.
What are you smelling?
Oh, let's smell it again.
I can't smell shit.
I smell bourbon.
So the the nose on these websites says it's a sweet almond caramel vanilla mint in oak.
I always call bullshit on all this.
Yeah.
Some of it.
The nose.
I mean, I smell.
I smell the nose.
And I can smell it.
That's what you smell on.
I believe.
Do you?
I get caramel.
No, we have a we have a close on senior.
We have a cast room visitor, the son of one of the podcasters, Mr. Look at your hot and
sweaty Steven.
You want to taste the bourbon?
And tell us what you think the nose is.
You've got herpes all over your hands.
What?
OK, Ash Ash is not in the list right up here.
I don't think that's what they're shooting.
Hold on, sweet.
It's not sweet as though sweet as caramel vanilla all the
yeah, then to note it could be Jessica Alba's ass. Oh, I'm
totally all in there. I smell that. Yeah. Yeah.
Wow.
Almond Almond Almond.
So the the taste itself, it's miles got a little cinnamon
almond, oak, mints, kind of the same thing. The finishes are
warm and long with some of it. You know what? After reading
that, I totally can kind of sense the mint. I didn't get
that when we were first talking about the nose. I mean on the
taste just overall because it's all you're right. Smell it.
You're right in the finish. I taste the mint at the very end.
I'm kind of like, all right, well, I can see them and it's
not so much the taste of it when it's in your mouth. It's
the after bar. Yeah, all right. Well, I see it. It's it's
kind of like that taste when you you eat like a mint ice
cream and it's like afterwards you got that residual. So
here's his thoughts, which I actually think is dead on. This
version is drier than recent versions, but it's still very
good. It's as hot as or hotter than you'd expect it. One 24
proof to be. I agree. I don't. I do recommended if you like
hot dry bourbons. I like it. Even if it is hotter and drier
than I'd usually prefer, it does take a splash of water. It
does take a splash of water. Well, negative. Interesting. I
would. I would agree with that assessment, although I wouldn't
put water in it is still that good. So
so I'm comparing it to some prior ones from from last year
of September. They put out the C brand. The comparison is much
sweeter in the nose of the mouth, blah, blah, blah. Nobody
knows because no one drinks it or can find it retains this
type of stuff. I wonder which one, which the other one we
have out there a long walk. It's too far. I'll go get it. I'm
kind of curious. So I'm kind of curious. We have it up. So we
have basically the exact same thing in a different a different
year. So we a different year, different. So those dudes like
us listeners out there, we actually have we have a couple
hundred birds. Oh yeah. 200. Yeah, easily. And we finished a
bottle every now and then. And we've got tons, man. So we
just collect this and we buy good stuff. We don't buy the
cheap shit. I mean, after Paul started getting wise, it's not
a viable shit like Williamsburg. We started more selective.
Oh, stop it. We're much more selective on our urban snow.
B five twenty two. All right, so that's kind of cool. Now
something that's made from two thousand twenty two. I know
what I'm doing right now. And it was the second batch in May
of twenty twenty two. Interesting. Second batch in May.
Very nice. But I don't remember. I second batch in May. So
they have more than one second batch of the year. Oh, okay.
So it's just it was the second batch was in May. Yes, it's
either one. The second batch in May. So I thought there was
two batches in May. No, no. Good. Good point. It is the
second batch. It's a little confused. Which happens in May.
Correct. All right. So I don't know what we thought about this
one, though. I thought we loved it. We had it two years ago.
Yeah, I don't remember if Austin were here, he could look up
the spreadsheet and tell you what we rated it. But it's time
to rate this one. I'll go. I'll go look. Let's rate it first.
Then I'll go. I'm just anxious to get up. He doesn't like
sitting there. Is your butt hurt? Kind of sweaty. I'm
actually I'm going to go. I'm actually going to go lower.
I'm going to go lower than the Wyoming. What a dick. I'm going
six five. I'll tell you what, as I'm going six. I proof this is
I don't think it's as rich as it should be. Yes. Agreed. It's
too. The hotness does overpower the hotness overpowers the
flavor. I'll be a six nine. God damn it. You know what? No,
I'm down. I'm seven to you can't change it. You already said
it. It's been recorded in history. Okay. All right. Well,
come on guys. What do you got? Let's go. I give this. I think
I'm right right underneath the seven six nine six nine. I
almost like tasty. Oh, it's so tasty. It is. But I expected
more out of one hundred and twenty four proof. I do too.
Chuck. What do you got these days? Six to well, so we're
throwing out the low, which is six to. Yeah, I guess we have
to kind of man. I'm kind of man. And one point. I don't know
why, but I'm kind of man this. Yeah, sorry. I just it's not.
It's not awful, but it's like I'm not going to go buy it. I
would be proud to have this in my collection. So do we call
the this is about sixty five dollars bottle, right? I don't
know if it was that much. I think it's better than the
regular larceny, which is, you know, the other larceny.
No, it's just a just a generic forty dollar. Right. Right.
Right. I think that's ninety ninety proof. Yeah. Price per
drink. Four dollars. Yeah. It's just retail. It's really hot.
I mean, it's hot. It comes in really hot. And it doesn't
linger. And here's the thing. It's been breathing for a while.
And I just took another strong pull. It is hot. Still hot.
Yeah. I think it's usually when it breathes and it's been.
And if you like that, then go for it. Here's my problem is
it's the realization that I am.
Alcoholic, I think, because I just realized that I you've
burned off your your I enjoy the high proof stuff and I really
do. And I think we all I think we all like it. But I think we
could tell the difference between this one twenty four and
another one twenty four that we had. We have had plenty,
plenty that are not this hot. Yeah. At this point, we're just
like, wow, I can't believe that's one hundred twenty four
proof or whatever. Very smooth, very, very rich. Right. Any of
the preemptions like the like the Elijah Craig barrel proofs.
I don't think we called any of those. Those were the eight.
Super hot. Yeah. Those were those were good proof, too.
It's not bad. I mean, guys, there's nothing wrong with a six
nine six nine six five six two. There's nothing wrong. Well,
the six two is offensive. But but no, I'm kidding. It's my
palate. All right. So that's that's our second. That's our
second bourbon. So it's good. It's good. All right. Moving on,
gentlemen. I just maybe add a little water or maybe a cube to
it and kind of tone it down a little bit. And I don't know. I
like it just the way it is. Again, to you to eat your own
taste. So when you guys have a have a you know, just a shot,
are you at night? Are you not pouring it on a cube? No, I
don't. Sean and I went through this like on Friday when we
went and hung out. Right. We ordered the same thing. I had a
little cube and he didn't. And we each enjoyed it, you know,
equally. Right. What do we have? Noah's Mill. Noah's Mill. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. That's good shit. We went to the Holy Grail. They had
Noah's Mill for eight bucks a pop. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It was good
shit. Yeah. That's pretty good. Eight bucks a pop. Come on.
But before that, we're a lazy dog. And we have a shot there.
That was a very interesting. It was an interesting. So we
had some dude. We have some transfer. They like, yeah, he
know. Totally. Yeah. No, he was a dude with a beard and makeup.
Yeah, I was like full on makeup. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And in I, and it didn't even, it wasn't even a
blip on the radar. I mean, they didn't affect me. You know me.
I'm going to say it. And I did. He came out and he goes, Oh no,
dude, I don't mean to offend you, but it's just balls
curled up. Yeah. My balls shrunk on my asshole like, like
puckered. And he goes, but this glass is hot. Did you call
him dude? Did you call him? I don't recall what I said. I
didn't, I didn't, I purposely didn't say that, but he didn't
have a pronoun thing about it. Is that I did this on purpose
to make Chuck feel uncomfortable. I was like, I
don't mean to offend you. And I paused for a long moment.
Chuck was calling. He's like, here he was calling bro. He's
like, Oh my God, he's like, I need this. All right. I thought
he was like, here comes the hate crime.
And it turned out none of that happened. But nothing happened.
And I was like, look, we were making a salient point that they
should take the dishes out of this is other dishwasher and
then maybe chill them before they serve a beer or a beverage
in them because they're hot and we don't want a hot bourbon or
hot beer. We want room temperature or cold. Right? Yeah.
I mean, nobody wants a warm, nobody wants a warm. I told him
to look, I'm going to drink it, but I'm just letting you know
as a customer and you should just letting you know, I'm just
letting you know.
I like those eyelashes.
Oh dude. His, his makeup was like manicured well.
Oh, the chart. Yeah.
So he was attractive.
Yeah. Sean wanted to fuck him. He said, he said, I really want
to take this guy.
I think you misread my body language.
We can't have that all.
That may or may not have happened.
Sounds like, whoa.
I was like, wait a minute.
Bro.
I don't remember that.
You're turning.
This isn't even a backpedal. This is a misstatement.
Oh no, this is a full stop.
Am I being fact check?
So hold on.
Hold on.
So are you saying that if you order a bourbon neat, you don't
want it to be hot?
No.
Look, I want temperature, temperature, temperature,
served it in a glass that just came out of the water.
It was like super hot.
He poured it in there and I showed up and I was like, yeah,
I should have released a lot of notes and I get it.
And I actually kind of enjoyed it from a weird way.
But at the same time, that's not the way it's meant to be.
I didn't want it like that.
But the whole thing is that I was talking to Chuck on the way
up there and I was like, oh yeah, they got Charlie from it's
always sunny in Philadelphia there, but he's a black version
of Charlie and I was like, I hope he's bartended.
That guy was not there.
He wasn't there, but it was fucking hilarious.
But that one, but Jeff and I were there.
He's he's that he sounded just like Charlie did.
He did.
And I even told him that he's like, I get told all the time.
He was not there and then we show up and it's RuPaul.
That guy, it was catalyst from apex.
It was like crazy.
And then we went to the Holy Grail and had eight dollar.
Yeah, we went to the Holy Grail and I'll tell you our experience
at the Holy Grail.
I apologize.
But no, no, no.
Let me dive in this real quick.
We went to the Holy Grail right after that and we were hungry
at that time.
We ordered some dinner and they had pork chop pork chop.
They old thick pork.
I want some pork chops.
They were like, and they guys, oh yeah, we put sous vide this
for fucking eight hours.
And I was like, hang on eight hours, bro.
That's a little long.
That fucker is probably dry as a tainted dinosaur asshole.
What the hell?
That's like, yes, it was a tasty tainted sauce.
I put on there.
It was very tasty.
And the little the small pieces next to the bone of the pork chop
were very juicy and good, but the rest was dry as fuck.
I know what you called it.
You called it.
So I proceeded to share with him constructive criticism.
Critiqued him.
I just I don't mean to offend you, bro.
Please share with your chef that they need to bring the temperature
down from forty one forty five to one thirty five.
They're going to cook it and they need to cook it for three hours at one thirty
five, kill everything and then you drop it down to one ten.
Did you seriously say that thing on the grill?
Yeah.
Well, then you give him a little.
You should have said, can I talk to this constructive?
Yeah, you should have said it.
Can I?
Do you mind if I said to the guy with the man boobs?
It's Mike for Mike.
I put his name on it.
Don't put his name out there.
I think you know what?
Though he was he was very informative and he was very he seemed like he
wanted to be on the podcast and he was one of those guys as the Gabber.
He could talk.
He had a good he had a good recollection.
Well, let's go.
Let's go again.
This we go this Friday.
We go this Friday.
We'll we'll we'll we'll jump on some of that Noah's mill for eight bucks a pop.
God bless.
That's the way to go.
I'll tell you what.
So I went to the owl on Monday night.
The owl.
Oh, I think we need to go back there.
By the way.
Did you have a pretzel?
By the way?
Yes, I didn't get an invite with that.
I was good, bro.
It was with a different gang.
Come on, friends.
It's my other.
Oh, my.
It's my other crew.
No, it's not the Indian crew.
It's the other crew.
But anyway, we went to the owl.
And he's encouraged by the way, they're all the hit committee.
They they look at me.
They tout.
They tout having the best bourbon selection and they do they do.
Owl.
Yes.
No, no.
No, this is fucking huge.
No, no.
Who beats it?
No, who beats it?
It's not a matter of having the widest selection.
It's about a matter of what is in the selection.
They've got a great selection.
They do not.
No, no.
Stop.
Look, I'm going to slam this right now.
Bullshit.
On owl?
Fuck owl.
Do you know what we're talking about?
I know exactly what you're talking about.
We've been there.
We have been there.
I've been there like 10 times in the last two, three months.
OK.
And why do you think they don't have a good selection?
None of their bourbon is over 110 proof.
None.
OK.
Interesting.
There you go.
I said it.
All right.
Well, I mean, that's not what I was arguing.
Who does?
That's not what I was arguing.
Well, OK.
OK.
But it is a massive selection of bourbon.
Sean's like they don't have the upper echelon of.
Yeah.
They have like, eee.
They have the, but when?
When did you start hanging on them?
They have a lot of.
You loved it when we went to the owl.
We love going there.
I enjoyed going there, but their selection is not what you're portraying it to be.
It's a huge selection.
Tell me who has the good selection of upper echelon.
I'm telling you, the Holy Grail was.
Holy Grail was.
Was top notch.
They had some badass selections there.
Interesting.
OK.
But I don't think it was like nearly as wide.
Look, look, look.
But it just had like.
I'm just saying.
It was a very impressive selection.
The selection is impressive.
It's just not what I want.
I got you.
Yeah.
It's kind of like.
I did notice.
Have a 15,000 varieties of Bud Light, but I still don't like Bud Light.
So I did notice that they didn't have the proof on any of them.
I did notice that because I was looking for the higher proof stuff, but I mean.
They don't have it.
I didn't know what was.
Bottles and Bond does.
I made a point.
OK, here's the list right there.
Bottles and Bond is yeah, it's right down the tollway from the owl.
They don't have as many, but they still have a lot.
But they have all the proof.
Oh yeah, that's much better.
But we got to put the proof.
I do like the owl.
I do because we went there and we had a good time there.
We almost did karaoke there.
Yeah, we did.
Well, I was there with my wife two years, two weeks in a row.
We did karaoke.
I went up there and I sang fucking just a jiggle by David Lee Roth.
Nice at the owl at the owl dude.
I fucking tore it up, man.
Anyway, but their prices, their prices are also reasonable, especially during happy hour.
It is two dollars off anything on the list, right, which was I mean, so I was getting
Rebecca Creek for six dollars.
Yeah, but it was for picket.
And we almost got I get it.
I get it.
Henry McKenna tenure for like eight dollars.
And then they said no, it's five dollars.
It's five dollars for the Henry McKenna.
We went there and we're like, oh, yeah, and we're McKenna and then, oh, that was a miss
print.
I was like, bitch, whatever.
We'll give you this one because it says it on the menu for five bucks.
I was like, how about you give us all of them because it says them on the menu and they're
supposed to when they do have a miss print now, whatever.
Well, they honored it.
They did.
And then they changed it.
Yeah, they did.
They sure did.
They came up with menus right away.
They're like, we got to save our bucks.
But you know, whatever.
I don't care.
Al's a good place to go.
I just wish they would have some higher proof stuff.
What about the bourbon bar we went to without Sean?
Oh, there we go.
Jeff, there's so many we went to without Sean.
How do you know?
Yeah, there's one that must have been pretty insignificant.
It's called the rare books.
Rare books.
Well, you were saying the owl was a fantastic slug.
I'm assuming it's a huge selection.
It's the most I've ever seen in a restaurant.
Whatever, dude.
It really is.
We have a better selection of bourbon than now.
OK.
I don't know why you're hating on them.
I'm just saying.
I'm not hating on them.
It was an impressive selection.
I'm just saying.
Where?
At the owl.
It was an impressive selection.
Oh, whatever.
I don't know why you are being like this.
It's interesting.
You weren't like that when we were there.
No, look, I'm telling you, I groomed their selection.
My wife and I have gone over there a couple of times.
Every week we've gone there because it was kind of the thing we were doing.
And I groomed their selection.
I tasted a bunch and I asked them.
I prodded and I was asking them, I said, hey, man, can you please get some stuff?
They wouldn't get it.
And it's like, you know what?
Dude, I'm done.
OK, well, I will go back and I'll continue to drink there when we do go back.
But I just I'm not impressed with their selection because it's not the selection I want.
You can have it's a variations of soda pop.
And you know what?
I don't care.
I want this soda.
I got you.
You can, you know, if you say what this rare books, good selection, a lot of high proof shit too.
It's pricey, though.
Go on.
And you have to have a code word to get it.
It is pricey, though.
It's like it is.
It's like twenty dollars, twenty dollars for a shot.
It is.
It's not cheap, but they have a lot of good shit, a lot of high proof shit as well.
Yeah.
That is impressive.
So I'm going to I'm going to just say we need to go to the Holy Grail next time.
It's a good place.
There was another place that we were going to try.
Jeff, you had mentioned going over to specs.
No, Boomer Jacks.
Yeah.
Oh, for beer.
Yes, Steve.
Just for beer.
Yeah.
Their boo selection is probably just.
Yeah.
But beers, it's three dollar pints, I believe.
I'm all about that.
Nothing wrong with that.
So we could all the time.
We got a total wine.
We can go total wine, hit specs and hit Boomer Jacks, have a couple beers and hit home.
Yeah, I mean, that works for me.
It's 50 cents more than tailgaters.
Wish.
Yeah, that was a bump deal there.
So they all left a case.
Yeah, I forgive us.
I apologize if you're listening to this, but is it Casey or CJ?
It's Casey.
It is Casey.
So he went over to Crown and Lion, Lion and Crown line.
Yeah, Lion and the Crown.
Yeah.
Is that what is it in Allen?
It used to be one in downtown Frisco.
Well, there's one in Allen and they have live.
Pardon?
But that was different.
But go ahead.
So there's so anyways, it's a great venue.
He's supposed to he's he's mentioned to me, message to me, me directly,
asking for us to go out there.
And so I think we ought to take the time and go out there.
Where's it at in Allen?
I don't know the exact address.
It's it's at the water's edge.
Low waters, creek area.
Water's Creek.
Yeah.
Yeah, because they have a community, the performance area out there where they have
live bands play and there's a bunch of bars around.
It's actually a cool little strip mall ish sort of thing.
But I mean, say it's strip mall is kind of degrading it.
It's a good commercial development with restaurants and bars and shopping and that sort of stuff.
And it's not it's not like a bar like the tailgaters.
Tailgaters is a typical dive bar.
Tailgaters is a strip mall bar.
Yes.
We need more of those, though.
We need more dive bars.
Everything's a high end.
Do you know where the word dive bar comes from?
I do not.
So this is where I was watching Atlantis.
I don't know what their line.
And so a lot of the dive bars were bars that were in the basements of some of these buildings.
I thought they were like actually the beach for when you went diving.
That is not accurate.
So they were a challenge.
Great guest.
So they were their dive bars because you had to dive into the earth to get to the bars
because they were in the basements of these buildings.
You dive in like the head first down the stairs after drinking.
So what is the what is the most and when we talk about dive bars, we know what we're talking about.
What's the worst dive bar?
You the most dive bar you've ever been to college bar actually.
Yeah, but you and I went to and we had some good dive bars like they were top notch.
We had a bar in Redding, Ohio called Murrell's.
Well, and it was about twice the size of this room.
And it had two pool tables and it had this old crotchety guy called Murrell who owned it behind
the bar and it was five dollar pitchers and we go in there and we play pool and get shit faced.
And it was just like a nickel drink or something.
Yeah, it was it was just a penny drink.
It was just a shitty bar had a jukebox.
We go up there and load the money up there and place a meatloaf.
And it was sticky and smelly.
And yeah, well, yeah, it had the regulars, right?
So the hardcore alcoholics were sitting at the bar.
Right.
And you see them every time you go in there on the weekends and they still be there.
They're always fucked up.
Always.
Yeah, bar flies.
Yeah.
And they're they're older, right?
So when I say older, probably our age now.
Right.
So and pass that I'm just like.
What's amazing is the local police officers give them a pass.
They have to because they know the same guys are at the same bar every time and they know
they're completely fucked up when they leave.
Oh, I think I like a mild drive home.
I know.
That's what I'm saying.
They give them a pass.
I used to bike.
Do they?
Maybe they just arrest them over and over and over and over again.
No, maybe they just.
Not in Frisco, not in Frisco.
Yeah, because I have a friend who.
Was at a bar and all he was doing was moving his car into the parking lot so that he could
call a cab and he didn't want to leave it on the street.
And in between moving the car from the street to the parking lot, they pulled him over and
gave him a DWI.
Oh my God.
Fucking kidding me.
He moved it 800 feet so they call a cab and none of this mattered.
None of it mattered.
It doesn't.
No, no, if they find you, if they find you sleeping by the way, they're gonna call you
behind the wheel of a parked car with the keys in the ignition in a water burger.
DWI.
Not in the drive through.
No, it's a DWI.
They don't fuck around, man.
They don't fuck around.
Look, and rightfully so.
It's okay.
Rightfully so.
It's a big deal for drunk drivers.
We don't condone it.
Nobody should condone drunk driving, but there are rules and reality.
You know, and here's the thing.
The guy probably should have called a taxi prior to that.
So therefore there would have been some sort of, hey, you know, hey, look, I've already
made the phone call.
Here it is.
I don't know if he did or didn't.
Doesn't matter.
Yeah, but it didn't matter to the case, right?
Yeah.
So the correct procedure is call a tow truck to move your car from the curb to the parking
lot.
Yeah.
That's $250.
Or just leave it there.
Then call the Uber.
I think all in all, especially, I mean, Jeff knows,
knows, I mean, cause we got fucking pulled over leaving the revel and frankly, I was
shit faced.
I think that's, I think that's why, because you were non-communicative.
Yeah.
I was, I was like, it's like Biden.
He's making guttural noises.
I heard, I heard, I heard everything and I understood everything.
You couldn't speak.
I couldn't speak and I couldn't do anything.
Did you have type three diabetes?
Yes.
It was, it was temporary.
I had drunken knees temporary brain paralysis.
No, but I felt bad because I, Jeff was like, I didn't have anything to drink.
It was like, that was the right answer.
I was like, am I, I was to the high and I thought I said was like, that was the awesome
thing to say Jeff, but the officers, like what's wrong with your friend?
He's like, is he having a stroke?
I just picked him up.
Just like, just like I just met him.
I had no idea.
I'm his Uber driver.
Oh, Tara was in the back.
Tara was in the back seat, probably slurring her words to him as well.
I was like, I'm trying to get these guys home.
What a train wreck.
It was, it was a weird thing, but you know what?
I was looking forward to it and frankly, I was a little bit bitter, but I got to, I
got to add a little bit more fuel to the fire.
I mean, there was more things going on than just you.
I mean, you had my wife and your wife there.
They were steaming about stuff that was like, in the middle of the night, you know,
stuff that was like insignificant and had nothing to do with us.
And then all of a sudden they're like, at us and Alan, let's be honest, Alan was fucked
up completely.
He was fucked up.
It was a shit.
And I was like one of the only sober ones there.
And you're still allowed back in this bar.
You were so sober, you couldn't speak in the passenger seat.
But that's happened.
All that more times.
Oh, I'm sorry.
That was a different thing.
I was, this was, I was actually looking forward to journey and I was like,
you're like, where is everybody?
Alice fucked up.
The girls are kind of onry and Paul actually, Paul wasn't that bad.
I banished, but Paul was, he's, he's angry because of some circumstances.
I poofed.
I vanished.
I'll just listen to Sean.
Anyways, but we never got to see a journey, but that was your first mistake.
Oh, you left before journey.
Yeah, that was what I was.
You left before journey for sure.
And everyone else was like, let's go.
We got to go.
We can't go.
And I'm like, but journey hasn't even started.
I was like, oh, we're going out here right now.
And I was like, fucking shit.
So we go back to the house and we don't have to talk about, we don't have to talk
about happening.
I'm not going to talk about all that, but I'm just saying Paul got bitter.
It seems like, you know what?
And I've done the same thing because when I was at the revel, I got bitter at
something and I just, you just fucking flight or flight.
Wait, I walked home by flight and it was flight.
You resulted in flight.
It was flight.
That's Oh, party fail.
Where's my whistle?
Oh my God.
What just happened?
Ladies and gentlemen, we, oh no, I gyrated my hand spilled his drink.
That's never happened before.
Red card all the way.
Yes.
I don't have a red card.
Can I borrow yours?
He's going to party foul.
You guys are assholes.
That's an ejection, dude.
We've never had a spill on the podcast table ever.
You're banned for life.
Banned for life.
It's all right.
I can fill my drink up more.
Actually, I think I might've spilled one.
There's more where that came from.
Yeah.
Just finish what you got.
We're going to get electrocuted here.
There's so many wires everywhere.
We get, you guys, our listeners are getting a live listen to a catastrophic.
So I spilled my Glen Cairn glass of A124 Larson.
That was like $3 worth of Larson.
It was the whole glass.
I was actually saving it.
I was like, I'm going to pace myself this time because I drank my first one really fast.
This time.
All right.
Well, that's.
Let's kind of dry and then we'll take a Clorox wipe to it because it's going to be sticky.
That's what she said.
It's completely disinfected this table now, but the residue is going to be nice.
Yes.
It's all from the wood of the barrel.
Okay.
Now I'm so glad we shared that.
Thank you so much.
That was unexpected.
Chuck brought up the rebel though.
Yeah.
You know what?
Look, the rebel is good in very small doses.
Yes.
There was a stretch.
We were going like two, three times a month.
Except when the speaker catches fire too many times.
We went to too many old fashions.
Well, the thing is, is that we go there, we dropped 500 bucks.
But are we due for another one or no?
I'm going to go.
I'm going to go with the one concert.
Actually, that was the reason why we dropped off because they were stealing from us.
They were padding the tabs.
Bad.
Well, we need to bring our own booze.
Well, we always do.
And then we double up and triple up.
Oh, that doesn't stop us.
We drink our own.
That only like cushions the blow.
We know it doesn't.
We we drink our own weight and bourbon.
We suck down the stuff we bring so fast because we're eager to drink theirs.
So we had.
OK, let's talk about listeners.
Here's the deal.
So we went to the rebel.
The concept is like, hey, man, we're last time because we go there,
we drop a ton of money.
We're like, so ridiculous.
So we went to the store and we picked up.
We're going to buy some Manhattan's old fashions.
And so we picked up like two half bottles of one old fashion for bullet one.
Manhattan for my.
And I brought it in my bag.
And so we're pouring it in glasses.
And so that doesn't do anything.
Didn't last very long.
I mean, well, I mean, the thing is, we just got fucked up and then started
to order more.
Yeah, that's what it is.
The tab was it was just it was just, you know, it literally did not diminish
the amount we ordered or would have ordered.
It's only enhanced at all.
And we didn't understand why we have our hungover the next day.
I think you're right.
I think the fact that we got fucked up on our own shit made us buy more of theirs.
Yeah.
So whatever, whatever.
And then we're kind of like, well, let's just buy beer.
Let's drink.
And then when it takes like 15,000 beers for us to get us drunk.
Anyway, it is fun until.
Yeah, but the revels good.
The rebels are good place down downtown Frisco.
It really is.
It's the best live music in Frisco.
It really is.
Yeah, it's good.
Despite the speaker fires and the staff that's a little bit less than honest.
But I'll say this.
You called them out.
I'll give you credit for that.
I did.
You called out that and you talked to the manager twice.
The next day you talk to them.
And then we, and then the next time we went, we got a sweetheart of a, of a waiter, a waitress.
And she was completely up and up.
Because we were the next time they screwed us.
Well, they, they, they got rid of a few bad apples there.
You know, I recall three people that were gone.
Yeah.
Because the one we had after that, it was perfect.
Everything was perfect.
Like what we ordered was exactly right.
And she was honest.
Who's playing again Friday?
Food fighters cover and Chris Cornell from.
So do you want me to get tickets for that?
It's not, it's not this Friday.
It's, it's coming up.
So, so do you want me to get tickets for it?
Yes.
Are you guys going to go?
What about you're interested?
I'm not either, but what about this weekend?
What's playing this weekend?
Do we know?
I don't know, but I'm going to go to the food fighters one.
So I'll just do you and I, I'll tell you what I'll buy it for.
I'll buy a four pack.
Okay.
I'll buy a four pack and we'll be done.
I'll get Scott cash.
Find out what's playing either Friday or Saturday.
This weekend.
Cause I'm free dudes like us out there.
I have a shout out for a prayer request.
Oh, this has not happened before.
I like it.
It does not.
So this shout out is to Scott cash and he is a, he is a person that's been on the podcast before.
Scott had, he had some cancer and it's gone away for quite some time and it has perked up its
ears again and it's come back into his life.
So Scott cash is a, an established guitarist, an established singer.
He's a, an electrical engineer.
He's has two engineering degrees.
I mean, he's a smart cookie.
He's a, he's a well rounded individual.
He's an awesome friend.
He is the most giving individual I think I've ever met.
He is.
And it saddens me to hear that he's having to go through the struggles that he's going
through right now and I just want for the folk out there that listen to this podcast,
give prayers to Scott cash here in Frisco, Texas.
Agreed.
Agree.
A hundred percent agreed this weekend.
I'll go Saturday.
Friday is sunset strip attribute to the 80s.
So it's a bunch of hairband shit probably.
Sunset strip.
That's a Saturday Eagle.
It's Don Henley.
Yeah.
Down at the sunset grill.
Looks hair bandaged to me.
All right.
Well, I'm working on the Texas music revolution for you.
You may have to skip it Saturday.
Nice throw down.
Jeff.
All right.
What's Saturday?
Tell us Saturday is the sticks tribute.
I'm in and Boston.
I'm in let's do it Saturday night sticks in Boston.

What's today?
I'll buy the tickets.
Chuck you in this Saturday.
No, I'm out.
I'll buy four tickets.
Are the women going?
Julie Roll.
She can't do the loud music.
She will not.
So we doing just dudes.
You need to figure this out in the morning.
I'll pick up the tickets.
I'll make sure it happens.
All right.
Take care of that tomorrow.
Yeah.
That sounds like fun.
Like I journey.
I'm in sticks.
Oh, sticks is great.
We saw them live like the band.
Chuck, are you not going because you don't like sticks?
I'm not going because I'm out of town.
I would also, I would go because it's journey.
Boston.
I would go because journey.
But I would, I would not.
Well, Boston's fine.
But like I would.
Full stop.
We just, something magical just happened.
No, it didn't.
The opposite of magical.
Like opposite of magic.
The opposite.
Okay.
Nevermind.
It was actually, it had two things.
It was magical.
And it was the antithesis of magic at the same time.
It was like a dark magic.
It was dark magic.
Yeah.
Okay.
It was like Voldemort or whatever his name is.
All right.
Go ahead.
I don't know.
Sticks just doesn't do it for me.
We saw them live and they were good.
Like maybe they, maybe they are, but like it just never connected with me.
Try the 22.
That's okay.
That's okay to each their own, right?
Yeah, to each their own.
Yeah.
And not yours.
Not, not, not me.
Not so much.
I'm kidding.
All right.
We're good.
I also don't get yes, you know.
Dude.
Yes is a progressive band.
And yeah, it's a prog, right?
And there's a lot of people that don't get Rush either, right?
But I love Rush.
I have a band to throw out that I want to get your guys opinion on because I'm on the motorcycle
and Shelly and I are riding out in East, East of 75 on these new hope road is a great windy road.
All right.
And all of a sudden super tramp comes on.
They have a couple of songs.
The exactly hold on.
It depends on the song.
Take the long way home.
Take the long way.
I was like, dude, this song fucking rocks.
Yeah.
They have a couple of good songs.
Lonely days and the lonely nights.
Take a trip to the city lights and take the long way home.
Yes.
But take the long way home.
It was really good.
Okay.
You guys.
Totally.
But I'm telling you, supertramp's got some good shit.
Okay.
Like also, okay, maybe four, but it's still, but it's still good stuff.
You know, but super tramps.
The other was Steely Dan.
I feel the same way about supertramps.
I do this.
My Steely Dan.
It's like, it's like hit or miss.
Some of them are great.
And some of them are like, but how many bands do we know that have three or four great songs,
but they're still underrated.
How many bands really flourish?
Who's a rock band with a flautist?
Jethro Tull.
Jethro Tull and Steely Dan.
Right.
Yeah.
Flautist.
Jazz flute.
What was the name?
Jethro Tull.
Yeah.
That was the lead singer.
I love the finger you got going over there.
That's why we need video.
Jeff, not why we need video.
Welcome to the stage, Mr. Jethro Tull.
Well, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the Martin burgundy, John was a Jim burgundy.
He was Ron burgundy.
Ron burgundy will enjoy us with a jazz flute.
I tried turning them down.
It's it doesn't happen.
No, it's second half.
It's prime Chuck time.
This is where you back away from the mic.
Prime Chuck roast.
There you go.
Oh, they broke things.
I just knocked over the clock.
I didn't like spill half a crap.
You're still creeping into the mic.
All right.
So I will, I will take care of tickets with the food fighters for you and I will go there.
We'll just rock.
I'll do that alone.
And, uh, and then we'll set up for this weekend, uh, for the, the three of us,
I'll shop by six tickets just for the hell of it.
Don't do anything until the morning.
We'll talk about it and then I'll find out if the wives were involved.
You said, I'll, I'll, I'll double check to make sure.
Julie might be in if, if she finds out if Tara Shelley Cohen,
it's the loudness that gets her, but I'll, I'll double check.
I have you wear like earbuds.
I was going to say, I have earplugs.
We can make it work.
It'd be fun.
She can have these big old fanny packs on it.
She could look like, like Princess Leia.
Yes.
And everything.
She could wear the outfit.
Yeah.
Oh, well, that's on you.
I mean, I'm going to be on the job, the job of hut.
We got that downstairs.
I'm the Java.
She's going to be laying on you.
Wow.
No, you have to work Jeff into the.
Why?
Why the devil?
Too much bourbon.
Yes.
Are we really ending this podcast on Java the hut?
Yes.
We're not into this bourbon at this time of this podcast.
We're this, we're this podcast halfway through right now.
Really?
Yeah.
I like that.
I have no idea.
And we have a second pour going on with everybody here.
Sean spilled it.
Oh, okay.
I spilled mine.
Nice, nice, nice way to work that.
Well, look, this is dudes like this moment.
Like Jeff's experiencing, like he doesn't have a job right now,
which is like a big kick in the dick.
And it is.
So like he, you know what?
Right now it's kind of like when I was slow with work,
people are like, hey man, you know what?
Take advantage of it.
Relax.
Have fun with it.
You know, it is, but I encourage you to try to do the same thing.
I have been out of work.
I stint of five, six months, five months and three months,
different periods of my life.
The only time it was relaxing is when I knew I had a job lined up
at the end of it.
That was the only time the rest of the time you're you think,
you think, you, you think, oh, I've got extra.
I agree.
You got six weeks.
Yeah.
And I even have severance maybe.
And I, but you always have a job at LaBeer.
So you're always set.
Yes, you do.
You do Jeff.
Is there, I go.
Yeah.
That's a bear.
Yes, of course.
And I have connections.
No, we feel for you.
Man, I feel for you because I know it's stressful.
You don't know how long it's going to last.
Well, that, and it's getting harder the older you get.
Yes.
And the fact that you're a white male, but you're gay.
Hold on.
You're gay.
I don't match all any of those check pockets.
Check the box.
All in all guys, Jeff, you, you've had, you've had a,
you've had a horrible past two, three months.
Oh yeah.
It's been tough.
You know, you, you lost your father.
Yep.
God bless him.
And you know, you, you've, you've had a struggle and I've,
I've silently prayed for you hardcore.
Yeah.
And, uh, you know, I, I don't, I can't fathom and I, I take into consideration my pop
and you know, I think about it and I'm so thankful that he has his faculties.
And you know,
My only advice to you is spend as much time as you can now,
because it could change very fast.
Yeah.
And weirdly too, because like, like you even said, he's not the same, but in my mind,
I was kind of like, ah, well, he was the last person that was here, but he wasn't.
I mean, I saw him and of course he, he declined a lot more by that point.
He came on the podcast, right?
He was here, but I don't think he wasn't a published podcast.
We have a, we have a recording of it.
He recorded.
And I don't know where that recording is at.
I don't know where it's at.
We need to, we need to search for it.
Uh, but he was on here and I know he didn't have a fantastic time, but he did have input
and I'm kind of curious to revisit that.
And I know I have uploaded several gigabytes of wave post podcast with your father on it.
So we'll, we'll figure that out.
Well, you know, Debbie down around that, but Hey, look, shout out to the Larsonic group.
Uh, we've sampled that one, but two of theirs, we sampled the, uh, this past one, we did the,
uh, God damn it.
Where's it at?
It's at the, it's a B, uh, 9 22.
So that's the B 5.
There you go.
It's B 5 22.
So it's the, uh, 2022.
So I, we just sampled that now.
Did you try it?
That's not the, this is the first one.
Yeah.
This is like last year's two years ago.
All right.
Well, man, we bounced all over the place, but it was good.
It was good.
It's okay.
We always cover it.
You know what we cover the important thing.
We didn't cover.
Um, what I want to talk about was my brisket experience.
I, I sous vide a brisket.
Well, let's try to do a podcast because I'm leaving Tuesday morning.
Let's try to do one.
Thursday, Sunday ish timeframe.
What about Thursday?
Are you out tomorrow?
Oh, that is tomorrow.
Yeah.
Thursday, tomorrow.
We actually could do another one and it would be okay.
I know you have reservations about back to back, but we would roll like,
just like we did tonight.
Um, I I'm okay with, uh, with doing Sunday.
I, I, uh, I'm back logged on work.
Uh, but look, whatever's out there.
Thank you guys for listening.
We were super, uh, thankful that you, you tune us in.
This is June 5th.
This is the second half of the dudes like us podcast.
