Holy shit man.
In case you guys aren't aware, it is now July.
July 2nd.
I think we skipped a month here, didn't we?
We did.
It feels like our last one was June 10th.
That's my fault, so.
There's no fault involved.
Yeah, what the hell?
Yeah.
It was your dad's fault.
I was gone for a week, you were gone for two weeks.
I was gone for almost three weeks.
Oh, man.
Whatever, man.
That's life.
It's life.
Dudes Like Us go through it.
It's a Dudes Like Us show.
It's a Dudes Like Us first half, July 2nd, 2024.
My name is Sean.
I'm Paul.
And I am Jeff.
And we have our fantastic producer behind the scenes doing all the cool things for us
to make us sound better, look better, and get us prepped for the show.
Mr. Austin, what's up?
I don't know about the look better.
Yeah, look better.
That's not gonna be it.
There's not really much you can do there.
Well, once we get video, we're gonna be in wars.
Yeah, I can't wait that, man.
Yeah.
They're gonna get to see you parade around in your thong whenever you get excited.
I know, and I'm looking forward to that.
I'm not.
And your geranimals.
Oh, geranimals.
We have talked about that before on this podcast.
Geranimals.
Your geranimals.
Hey, man, geranimals was the way to go.
We couldn't afford those.
It made it, made it, well, we couldn't either, but I didn't have any.
But it made it.
Oh, we used to have some.
Oh.
Yeah.
That's only because we lived in military overseas and they had the post exchange where you can
board the base exchange wherever you were at, whether it's Air Force or Army.
And you know, they were at a discounted price there.
Yeah.
It was good.
I mean, you just mix the lion pants with the lion shirt, you're good to go.
Yeah.
We just had the Neiman market satinables.
Satinables, I think they were.
Neiman, Neiman, Ed Marcus.
Yes, the satin.
Yeah.
That's all we wore when we were tiny kids.
Mine was all leather.
Isn't that what?
Nice, nice little studded crotch.
Yeah.
They had a milk farm behind them.
Oh yeah.
Cows would die all the time.
It was like, ah, we got some leftover leather.
Just kind of tan it in the backyard.
Man, we had three very different upbringing.
Granimals, silk and leather.
All right.
Well, that was an unexpected start.
Well, we got tons of things going on this week.
We got tons of shit to talk about.
We got Jeff's trip to Nevada and took excursions all over California.
Nice 2000 mile trip to and fro, I guess.
We flew out there and drove back.
Yep.
Very exciting though.
It was a good trip.
I'm extremely envious from the perspective that you get to go do something with your
wife.
Yeah?
Yeah.
I mean, you have a challenge with that.
You sent hourly pictures.
Oh look, we have a beer here.
Oh, we're having a drink here.
A drink here.
A drink, a drink, a drink, a drink, a drink.
That's all right.
You know what?
I appreciate those pictures.
Nah, they're great.
Yeah.
It was funny because there was one time you sent a picture.
It was like 2 or 30 in the afternoon.
I had to go to, I don't know, I had to go for work.
I don't know, Tyler or something like that.
I had finished up my job and I went and sat down and had lunch.
Then Jeff sends that in.
I'm like, fuck it, man.
I'm sending one too.
I sat and then sitting at a bar ordering a sandwich.
I was like, Paul's like, what the fuck, man?
I'm getting left out.
The sad thing is I was probably making a drink, but it's like at the same moment at 2 30 in
random time zones, we all have a drink.
Really?
That's not a problem, right?
The sad thing is he gets up and gets a drink.
He's like, fuck you guys.
I'm making a drink, right?
But I'm feeling guilty about it, so I'm not going to send a picture.
So Paul had some good news.
You just got done selling something you've been trying to sell forever.
Yeah.
So I mean my Indian Scout Bobber, right?
It had been months and months.
I don't know how long have you had your new bike, six months?
Hold on, hold on.
For the dudes like us out there that are going through the midlife crisis, but they feel
they need to get a motorcycle, why don't you walk us through this?
So I mean the first bike I bought was a Scout Bobber and it's not practical for longer rides.
It didn't have a tall windscreen.
It's a very nice looking bike.
It was a beautiful bike.
So would you admit it was an impulse buy?
No, no, no, not at all.
I wanted to get a bike ever since college and now was the time.
I think it was a nice looking bike.
I think it was an uninformed, but you didn't understand what you were buying.
I think if you wanted to do long road trips, so that wasn't it.
Well, but here's the thing.
I wasn't worried about the reason why I got the touring bike is because Shelly said she
wanted to ride with me and I was like, I was not expecting that.
So I did have a passenger seat on the Bobber and she got on the Bobber and we, you know,
suited up and went on long rides, but it's not comfortable.
And you know, I get about 300 DB as well.
It's fucking loud.
It's crazy loud.
And I was getting grasshoppers, you know, in my, in my mouth and that's never fun.
That's sustain you for the long trips.
Right.
A little protein, but no, I mean, really honestly, it boiled down to Shelly wanting to ride because
when I got on the touring bike, that's when I realized the difference.
When I was riding the tour, I mean, it was down in Bedford or Ulysses or whatever, where
I bought it.
And I'm on the freeway driving at home and I'm like, Oh my God, like the comfort and
the no wind and the acceleration.
I mean, it was no comparison.
It's not as loud either.
Oh, and it wasn't loud.
And the sound system was amazing.
I was like, okay, yeah, I should have, if I had known better on sound system, I thought
you had like speakers in your helmet or something.
No, these are speakers on the front of the fairing.
I mean, on the back of the fairing and it's amazing.
What's it called?
It's a, well, the fairing is, is the part that, you know, is the thing in the front
with the headlights in the middle of it.
That's called the fairing.
Then you got the windscreen on top of the, what's your bike called?
Cause I want to see a picture of it.
It's a 2019 Indian road master.
If you're talking about, you're talking about the Bobber or you talking about, I haven't
seen your new bike yet.
Okay.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
So you got a 2019 Indian road master, Mr. Producer.
And so I do like to look at that Bobber though.
You had bought the Bobber and then you were, you made, you want to get the, make the choice
and change it out.
Cause he didn't too.
I mean, and plus the comfort levels are so are just beyond acceptable.
It's just like, for sure.
You're going to stick with the, oh yeah.
That's just like the road master.
Oh yeah.
It's early.
It's amazing.
That thing's amazing.
It's got heated grips.
It's got AC.
No AC.
I'm actually joking.
We joke, we joke, but I'm actually surprised they don't put just some cold air blowing
on you.
I mean, I mean you can't, it's not like a car, but I mean still anyway.
Yeah.
How would they be able to do that?
You'd be amazed.
I mean, if they can do all the rest of that stuff.
So what size engines get in it?
It has a 19, 1911.
Yeah.
1911 CCs.
I mean, that thing is a beast.
Now, and the Bobber, the Bobber was 1138, 1133.
We'll kind of guess by what you get out of that thing.
About 50.
That it?
Yeah.
You would think you'd get more.
I know you would, but interesting, but it's cool.
Anyway, so I mean, it was really interesting because I was at the end, I was not going
to renew it again.
I got, I already renewed it twice, you know, on cycle trader and nobody was biting on it.
So I put in the description, I saw, cause several people had saved it.
You know what I mean?
I just wanted to see who's looked at it, who saved it.
And I said, I'm not renewing it.
It's going to expire in a couple of days and I'm not renewing.
So if you want this bike, you better, you better contact me because I'm not selling
it.
I'm just going to keep it at that point.
I was actually going to, I was actually going to, uh, and he reached out and it was somebody
that just moved, uh, moved to, to, uh, Texas.
And he was, he was part of the state department overseas and Somalia and all sorts of crazy
shit.
Cool guy, really cool guy.
And uh, yeah, he bought it.
I think there's, I think, uh, because the previous owner to you did something to make
it even louder, didn't he?
That's right.
Yeah.
Cause he was commuting from Dallas to Addison and he had a couple of incidents where people
were like changing lanes into him.
I get why you want that, but man, I would think especially on long drives, the roadmaster
or the bobber, the bobber thing was freaking loud.
Yeah.
He called it a cat delete.
So I guess the catalytic converter, he, you take that off and it makes it super loud.
I don't really know what cat delete means, but, um, that's what he did.
And that's why it was crazy loud.
Did your neighbors ever bitch at you?
No, they didn't, but I felt bad.
I mean, I'm just like, I was, you know, we'd go on early rides, right?
I mean, and that thing was ridiculously loud.
Yeah.
Cat delete is deleting your colat catalytic converter.
Right.
I figured now why that makes it louder.
I mean, I guess that's the same as, uh, I'm kind of curious.
I thought catalytic converters were necessary on vehicles.
You don't require them anymore.
I could do that to a car or just the motorcycle.
It didn't fail inspection.
So it's interesting because, you know, I thought you required Mr. Producer.
Do we need a catalytic converter for, uh, vehicles?
Uh, yeah.
I mean, I think it's a requirement for vehicles for sure.
Is there a reason?
I mean, can you remove it from a car?
Yes.
Like you can a bike.
I believe you can.
I don't, I'm not sure that with cars, is it legal?
Right.
I mean, cars are required on most gasoline powered vehicles in the United States right
now.
Right.
As many data by the EPA effectively 1975.
Yeah.
It says, can you drive without a catalytic converter?
It says driving without one can lead to several consequences, both legal and mechanical.
That's what it says.
So, so why I think it's more for a motorcycle.
I think it's more legal.
Yeah.
But why off a motorcycle and on a car?
I'm not sure it was legal.
I don't know.
It never failed inspection.
Well, maybe because the motor is smaller.
Maybe.
And it's not producing the, like it says down there, right?
Without a catalytic converter, your vehicle will emit higher levels of harmful pollutants.
Right.
So they're concerned about emitting harmful pollutants like the, the, the fiber dust that's
released from brakes of these electric cars.
Yes.
Which by the way, driving over here, I saw a Tesla truck.
I saw several of them.
There's a bunch of them out in the back.
I don't know how you guys feel about it, but you know, up until now, they're kind of cool,
but they're absurd.
I thought the worst looking car on the planet was the Aztec.
You remember the Aztec?
Oh yeah.
Now it's been supplanted for me.
It's not attractive.
It's, it's disgusting.
It's a very cool piece of technology.
But it's, it's the stupidest looking vehicle I've ever seen.
Yeah.
We were driving next to one for quite a while in California and the way that the dash in
the window, it's like the deepest dash I've ever seen.
I know.
It looks like, what if something rolled up there?
It looks so stupid.
And you'd be like three feet away.
You mean like M&Ms or something?
Yeah.
M&Ms, like you're eating M&Ms all the sudden.
And you set it on the dash.
Yeah.
You're never getting those back.
No.
Or maybe like a whole bag of marbles.
Oh yeah.
You set them on the dash.
Or some bullets.
What movie is that?
What movie is that where it's, it's Tommy Boy.
Tommy Boy, yep.
With Chris Farley and...
Don't they all fall into the, all the shit?
It's his car.
It's not Tommy Boy's car, but it's the other guy's car.
And he's like...
It's David Spade's car.
David Spade's car.
It's like a Chevy or something.
It's a mint condition.
He's like, oh, that's going to mess up the resell value.
Yes.
Oh God.
That was on that road trip they made.
And then it's like, that's gotta be one of the funniest movies I've seen.
It is.
They get mad.
They pull off, it's one thing because they're puffy puffy to each other.
And he's like, Chris Farley's bullying David Spade.
And he's like, oh, yeah.
And then David Spade picks up a two by four and smacks them.
And then he passes out.
And then they're, you know, the next scene is that they're at a restaurant and they're,
they're getting something to eat.
He's got a big old fucking red mark across the, he says, you sure it doesn't leave a
mark?
I mean, it's not so much here, not so much here, just right here.
It's like, no, no, no, there's nothing there.
Then the lady comes over and she's like, can I get you something?
Good God, what happened to your face?
And they hit like a buck and they thought they killed it and it comes alive in the back
seat and it starts, and it starts punching out the window.
It destroys the whole back of his car.
And he was like, oh, great.
Oh, that's a great movie.
It's stupid as hell, but you know, I think there's like, when he gets comes off the Chris
Farley comes off the plane after he graduated from college, finally, you know, and the luggage
coming off and this is fucking plastic bag that rolls out of the luggage department.
David Spade was like, oh, that's gotta be you.
You know, right.
Oh, it's, it's, it's really good movie, but they, they made good, uh, David Spade and
Chris Farley, they had good chemistry together.
I mean, they did black sheep and both of them were stupid ass movies by the way, but they
were a typical SNL extended skit.
Yes.
You know, right.
Yeah.
Just like the Wayne and Garth Garth.
Yeah.
You know, they made those movies.
Wayne's world.
Yeah.
Anyway, so yeah, I was excited that, uh, I sold the bike though.
I didn't get as much as I wanted for it, but, uh, I just, I need to get rid of it though.
Right.
Well, you know, if it's taken up space and whatever you got rid of it in, in, in retrospect,
you paid very little for it by that the end of the day, you know, you got to use it for
how many years?
At least three, three.
So you know what?
That's, that's, that's not a bad deal.
And the guy was so excited.
I was, I was actually really happy that he was so excited about this bike and he got
a great deal.
So yeah, they had just come back from being stationed in Somalia and some other country
and yeah, it was great.
They were happy.
So did he have a license when he picked it up?
I don't know, but he had, he had, he, he knew how to ride motorcycles.
Did he give you cash?
He did.
Oh yeah.
Cash.
Did you go in there and make it rain?
Yeah.
It was like,
I put it in my counter.
Are you having those little counters?
No.
Oh, I hope it's real.
I haven't even gone to the bank yet.
Probably all counterfeit.
It's all counterfeit shit from Somalia.
Oh dude.
From Somalia.
Yeah.
Oh, it's probably printed there.
You know, did you check?
Did you pull the whole stack and see if the, like the first one was a hundred dollar bill
and all the rest of them are like singles.
Yeah.
No, I counted.
I got all of them.
Yeah.
Right in front of him.
One, two.
One, two, three.
I counted on them.
You know, just so you know.
Were they sequential?
I don't know.
Yeah, they were.
Were they crisp and new?
They were unmarked bills.
Did you get your little pen and mark it?
I didn't.
Did you test it to see if they were real?
No.
Did you hold it up to see if the watermark was there?
I scrubbed it on my crotch.
I'm like, yeah, these are real.
Oh, I didn't know that was a test.
Oh, you didn't know that?
No.
Oh, pubic hair that connects with the film and the paper.
I've never gone to a store when I spend like a hundred and they rub it on their crotch.
No?
We got to find out if the Best Buy does that.
If the ink is transferable, like Silly Putty, that'll do your ball sack.
I'm picking my check out person next time and waiting for the girl.
You can go ahead and test that.
I'll check that.
Here, hold on.
No, you want her to check it?
If the ink transfers to my scrotum, then it's wrong.
You want her to check it.
Please check that.
I don't mind if you do.
What, on her junk?
Yeah, her junk.
That's kind of exciting.
Oh, come on.
Why wouldn't that be exciting?
Why not?
I mean, let's be honest.
We all would like to see it.
Right.
As long as no one can see us, like our wives staring at them.
What are you guys doing?
Checking our money.
It's real.
You've already checked it over and over again.
It's very wrinkled and worn at this point.
Moist.
All right.
I should have gone there.
That's my bet.
Yes, you did.
Anyway, yeah, what else has happened?
Let's see.
What are the highlights?
When you were out in Nevada, you went to the zoo.
No, not Nevada.
Well, that was on the way back.
Hold on, hold on.
Back up a little bit.
Give us the Cliff Notes version of why you were out there.
You mentioned in the last podcast.
Yeah.
Well, I was out there.
My father passed away on May 12th, and he had a home out there with my mother who passed
away in 2007.
They built out there, and we had to go out there, clear it out.
He still had a bunch of stuff out there.
He did a really good job of sending us stuff to help, but there's still quite a bit.
Furniture, all kinds of stuff.
I'm sure that really did help you guys because walking into a house is basically untouched
from the moment they left.
Yeah.
So it would be a big effort.
He did a good job.
We went through, and I found the things that I wanted to keep.
My wife found a few things she wanted.
My sister didn't want any of it.
There was literally nothing that she wanted?
No.
That's amazing.
She didn't want anything.
What about... Well, I guess all your mom's stuff had been purged a long time ago.
Well, yeah, she got my mother's jewelry when my mom passed away.
Okay, so that's different.
She got the mom's stuff.
You got the dad's.
But all the pictures and shit like that, she had no interest in any of that.
You did bring all the pictures home, right?
I have them all, yeah.
Cool.
We could scan them.
That'd be kind of fun.
Yeah, I got all this.
Check it out.
Anyway, we were out there, and one of the challenges was... One of the things we had
to do was transfer the title of his car over to me, so we worked on that.
And then we had to find a place to donate his furniture to.
So we ended up finding a real estate agent.
I did some research and found one, and she's been really, really good with us.
She came out, sat, walked it, gave us what she thinks price would be and what we'd have
to do.
And she gives recommendations.
There is a Catholic church there.
Perfect.
St. Gall.
And we called them on a Thursday, and we didn't hear anything until the next Wednesday.
So we were starting to panic.
Yeah, what are we going to do with this stuff?
What are we going to do?
Finally, this really great guy came.
His name was Cory.
He was an older guy.
He was 66, and he came by himself.
He had a big ass, big eight foot long pickup truck.
So he made six trips.
Oh, wow.
Six or seven trips.
Oh, wow.
And he over the course of three or four days.
And he would take a bunch of stuff, and he took everything, even half used cleaning supplies.
Whatever you said we're getting rid of, he took.
So he's like, the ladies at the church will take cleaning supplies and they'll clean all
the donations.
They have a big rummage sale in August.
Perfect.
So they took all of that, all the plates, silverware.
And he's 100% a volunteer, I'm sure.
100% volunteer.
Isn't that great?
And I helped.
I was carrying the furniture with them and everything.
Sure.
So I did that.
And so on Sunday was the last day for that.
And he picked the sofa up because we still wanted the sofa to sit in.
Right.
So you said leave that for the last trip.
So we timed it.
We said, OK, on the last day, you can get this stuff and a lot of stuff.
Were you sleeping at the house?
Yes.
On the floor?
No.
They took the bed on day one.
No.
But so the house was empty on Sunday.
Julie and I did a last, you know, we didn't want to leave, which was kind of weird.
We kept walking in these rooms just to make sure that we forget anything.
Right.
So we kept doing it because we're like, once we're gone, we're never coming back.
I was going to ask you, so you don't have a reason to come back?
Go back now.
OK.
All right.
So and likely the house could sell.
You don't know how quickly it's going to sell, but it could sell.
The real estate agent says the average in that area is 45 days.
Oh, wow.
OK.
So it could go longer, could go quicker, whatever.
Right.
And she's taking care of everything else.
We stopped cleaning.
It was extremely dusty.
I don't think he dusted in 20 years.
Right.
So it was extremely dusty and we were starting.
We're trying to clean and she's like, I'll I have somebody who will come in here and
clean it for three hundred bucks.
There you go.
Oh, no brainer.
Clean the carpets.
They'll clean the outside of the windows.
He has a yard guy come and he'll pull some of the weeds in his chair and his surround.
He had a couple of acres, but most of that was just natural brush.
And right bushes and shit prairie land type shit.
Yeah.
And so he'll come out there.
He'll he'll sweep up the needles and all the pine cones.
There were hundreds of pine cones everywhere.
Yeah.
And so he's already been out there to do that.
They're out there cleaning last weekend.
We have a handyman to fix a couple of towel racks that I didn't get to.
And then the photographer is going to come out and then photos get ready for sale.
Drone for drone photos.
Yeah.
And they'll put it on the market probably July 7th or 8th is what she's hoping.
What a relief, though, huh?
That they can.
That's what they do.
Yeah.
I just take care of all this shit for you.
Right.
Usually.
Yep.
So she'll pay for it.
Usually 200 bucks for this, 300 bucks for this, you know, to clean the carpet is going
to be like 300 bucks.
She goes, I'll pay for all that.
We'll just settle up once the house sells.
There you go.
So there you go.
Perfect.
So she's done this many times before.
She's going to.
Well, she really does make bank.
Yeah, they make bank.
They don't do shit.
She's going to make.
Well, she's doing it for us.
Right.
She's doing.
I'm just saying the grand scheme of thing.
Let's say it takes, you know, a month or two for the normal person to make that much money.
I mean, she's doing it like in three or four days.
Right.
Yeah.
She's going to make a big check up.
It's a lucrative business.
It can be a business.
Yeah.
So.
So then from there.
Yeah.
So Sunday we packed up all the shit in the car and we stayed in a hotel up in Reno at
the Peppermill Casino Resort.
So we stayed there.
Nice.
Actually, Saturday and Sunday.
Do any gambling?
No.
Actually, we did.
We played some slots.
We just gave ourselves.
I think she spent 40.
I spent 20 bucks.
Right.
It went shit.
I mean, I won.
You just keep going.
Just keep going until you lose it.
I have a hard time.
Twenty bucks lasts about maybe 10 seconds.
Yeah.
You know, I lasted maybe five or six minutes.
Right.
I'll do some blackjack, but when it comes to gambling, I'll tell you, I'm not a huge
proponent for putting my money on there.
Crumpling up money and burning it.
It is.
I will do blackjack because I enjoy blackjack.
Yeah.
It's not the matter of winning because I know I'm going to lose.
I just kind of like, all right, I'm going to lose 50 bucks and that's it.
I'm out.
I love craps and roulette and I can play those for a long time.
As long as that's the whole point, if you can play for a couple of hours on 60 bucks,
to me, that's kind of fun.
Right.
Yeah.
I'm not a gambler at all.
Right.
We'll slip 20 bucks in and boom, boom, boom.
All right.
Let's go.
Yeah.
So Monday morning, we woke up at 6.30 in the morning.
Got on the road by 7 because we were driving to San Diego, which is essentially almost
just south of.
Okay.
So it wasn't a complete opposite direction.
No, it was almost directly south.
It was a little west, but not much.
Yeah.
I have this mentality that when you go to California from wherever, you're going due
west.
No.
Because California kind of bends.
Bends around Nevada.
And then Nevada, where Reno is, there's that point that sticks out way west.
So you're almost going, like I said, a little bit west, but it's almost due south.
So what made you, like, how'd you plan this out?
You guys had always wanted to go to San Diego?
Well, I've always wanted to go to the San Diego Zoo.
Oh, okay.
So, and I was like, you know, I'm not doing this 2000 miles in two days.
No.
Break it up.
I want to break it up.
I have the opportunity.
I'm not working.
She's not working during the summer.
It's like, let's take a week to work our way back.
That's perfect.
See some shit.
So we did.
So we drove down.
There was about 10 hours down to San Diego through the through the Sierra Nevadas.
Right.
So you're going to beautiful.
Right.
Yeah.
It was absolutely beautiful.
But I'll tell you what, southeast California is but whole.
Really?
It's fucking ugly.
But it is meaning like El Paso, but whole or yes.
It's the path of the migrants when they're coming through.
Well, it's all desert.
And they've worn it down.
I mean, what do you think?
Well, that's the that's the preferred path.
They come up right there because it's less.
There's not a lot of.
But it is.
It is desert.
Right.
It is pretty much pretty much.
And then you then you get into San Diego and you start seeing plants and trees and shit
again.
Right.
And interesting.
And San Diego, we stayed downtown at some hotel and we went to the we went down to the
pier that night for dinner.
So we ate out.
I sent you some pictures, I think, and we were out on the San Diego.
Beautiful man.
And what I saw, I wasn't too impressed.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
It's just downtown.
I guess the weather is always nice.
Homeless folks.
Oh, I know.
Well, that's all it seems to be all of California.
And we were walking around.
We walked to the pier the first night, which was about a two mile walk.
And we walked it.
And you just hit these sections where you just have this overpowering urine.
Oh, God.
Like this, like San Francisco.
Right.
It's like I didn't see any shit on the ground, but lots of urine smells.
You see the homeless people.
There wasn't huge encampments.
Right.
You know, you'd run into them and you're kind of.
Basically, basically, it's like Austin.
Right.
All of California and now Austin.
Right.
So we had done there.
They have the USS Midway.
Boston got that bad.
Is that bad?
Yeah.
Because all because all the Californians moved to Austin and then they made it a.
Well, it's not just a California.
It's the Silicon Valley folks because all those IT companies have moved to Austin.
Right.
And then they called it a sanctuary city.
Correct.
And then it is a you know, it's if anybody's homeless in San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, I
mean, the place to go to get free shit is Austin.
Yeah.
So they they all flock to Austin.
And they did this to themselves and their school system teaches all that crazy bullshit.
Yep.
So anyway, we went to like I said, we were down the pier.
So USS Midway, which is kind of cool.
I would have liked to have toured that we just didn't have the time.
They have a service down there kind of like Uber.
They call it Circuit and it is electric vans.
OK, essentially, are they autonomous?
No, there's a guy driving it.
OK.
And it seats six people.
Like those Amazon vans.
No, it's smaller than that.
It's like a it's like a long golf cart almost.
It goes fast.
But it goes faster than that.
But it's free.
Oh, so we're like, I don't want to walk home.
I don't want to deal with the homeless because it's nighttime now.
And so we did it.
And it was because I was bigger than it's going to cost.
But I was like, that's fine.
I don't want to walk two miles home because I was tired.
Oh, sure.
So we get on and there was yes, it's free.
So they just drove us like like point to point or does it have stops like a bus?
It's just expecting gratuity.
I gave him a tip.
He's I don't think he expects it, but I gave him one.
I sat up at the front with him because he had a full full car.
We were the second drop.
So it was fine.
So they you you tell him where you need to go and he drops you off.
It's just like Uber.
You put no shit.
You put in your address.
I'm going here.
It knows where you're at.
And it says, you know, finds the person says it'll be there in seven minutes.
Right.
Damn.
You could follow the homeless people can do the same thing.
Yeah.
Anybody.
So yeah.
And so so it's just another form of public transfer, free public transportation.
Correct.
Interesting.
And I guess the city pays for it.
No, it's a private company.
OK.
Why would they do this?
I don't know.
It's called Circuit.
Why?
They have to.
They have to be compensated by the city.
Oh, baby.
I don't know.
I don't know how they're making money.
They wouldn't do it for any other reason.
Circuit.
Circuit vans, I guess.
Well, circuit, I don't even know what it is, but they have an app.
I downloaded it.
Again, it works just like Uber Uber and.
It was good.
You know, yeah, that's nice.
He's driving around and this little thing and it dropped us off right at the door.
We're like perfect.
Yeah.
And about 15 years, it's going to be no driver.
It's going to be like a little right, a little autonomous.
They have some of that somewhere.
Yeah, they do.
Yeah, they're starting to have those starting to.
So anyway, then the next morning we went to the San Diego Zoo, which is if you like zoos,
it's a good one.
Yeah.
Right.
And I sent you a couple of pictures.
Yeah, you did.
Yeah.
One of them was a really bright ass, a bright red ass.
Yes.
The baboons.
Yeah.
You spent a lot of time there, it looks like, because you've got multiple pictures.
One of those like I had an erection or something.
That was the Sean monkey.
Oh, Sean monkey.
OK.
Like I said, he was sitting there and he was just minding his own business.
And you know, he was shooting his crotch off to the world and it was real small and and
turtle and everything.
And this girl monkey, this girl monkey, that's the funniest thing.
And I was going to take a picture of it, send it to you, because he had the really micro
penis thing working.
And this girl monkey came up and shoved her ass right into his face and his dick immediately
erected.
Of course.
Why wouldn't it?
It was fast.
Like a projectile.
Oh, yeah.
And then she walked away and he was just the picture I said he's looked at total dejection.
He's like, he's like, I got played.
Yeah.
And his dick was just kind of laying there.
There you go.
I think the same scenario happens for humans, right?
It happens all the time.
So yeah.
So that and I sent you some pictures of some elk all over the place.
Well, in case you didn't know what one was like.
Yeah.
Right.
Of course, they weren't elk.
Yeah, some antelope looking thing.
Some stupid African.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's funny.
You see any baby little San Diego chimps?
Not that small, but they had some smaller ones out there.
Well, that one's cute.
Yeah.
I mean, it is a world renowned zoo, isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
Yeah.
OK.
I thought so.
That's good.
So except for the pandas, I think they were like, oh, we're not going to have pandas here
because it's racist.
Those belong to the.
Are you just making that shit up or it's real?
I would have to spend is there.
Yeah, they would.
There was an article that said that they were returning the pandas back to where they culturally
appropriated.
Great.
Let's do that with some of these immigrants that are acting like, well, they have a polar
bear.
What about the Eskimos?
Don't they want them back?
Yeah, they want them back.
Oh, they're part of the United States.
What's interesting.
Do you really?
OK, a lot of times they loan animals.
You know that, right?
They loan animals to different zoos.
Probably they were coming.
Yeah.
You know what?
The lease has run up on this.
Yeah, this panda.
We're going to come and take it back.
Yeah, they do.
They do do that.
Uncle George, you're coming home.
But the the the cool thing that I found out about the polar bear and how he could survive
in hot weather is the diet they have in the Antarctic is real heavy and fat.
OK, so they put on a lot of blubber, right?
That insulation layer.
They have a very high protein diet in San Diego, like protein bars, like chocolate,
chocolate, protein bars, you know, Cliff bars, shakes, shakes and which means they don't
have that big layer of fat.
So they're not hot.
Correct.
Nice.
They're all trim and chiseled.
Yeah.
And I sent you a picture of the life size bear.
Yeah, I didn't.
Is that that really?
I mean, it was ridiculous.
It was like 13 feet tall.
Well, that's real.
That's how big they are.
God, that's terrifying.
I mean, you look like a midget next to that.
Yes, it was dramatic.
Well, they get up to 12, 12 feet tall and what I say, 1900 pounds or something ridiculous
like that.
Can you run from run from?
I'm sure he's faster than me.
I think so, too.
You could run, but you're not, you know, they'll catch you.
You know, you're not going to run.
You're going to run.
That's why you got to push the person down that's behind you.
Yeah.
You don't want to be the slowest faster than the guy next to you.
Correct.
So anyway, so we went to the zoo.
It was very nice.
We were there all day.
Um, and, uh, went home, had a really nice Italian dinner and left the next day for Phoenix.
Yeah.
And nice and cool there.
It sucked.
And, uh, it was, and, uh, again, ugly.
Yeah.
That whole stretch, the whole cactus desert, basically from San Diego, you go through the
mountains.
Once you get on the other side of the mountains, it's essentially the same from there all the
way to Dallas.
Yeah.
So varying degrees of desert.
Yeah.
I mean, we got it there, there's a section of, of, of, uh, Arizona that was like sand
dunes.
Right.
So you go through that.
It wasn't real big, but where we drove anyway, so you see some of that, but most of it is
just scrub brush and laser lasers and cacti.
Yeah.
Everywhere.
Yeah.
Bunch of cactus and everything.
We went to Phoenix, met with my wife's aunt had dinner with her.
Oh, okay.
That's why we went there.
So we stayed the night there.
That's cool.
And then from Phoenix on to El Paso.
Oh, which is a beautiful, beautiful, such a nice pick.
Yeah.
That's, that's really, I think the city where it formed Sean, you know what I mean?
Right.
The basis of his, of his personality in his life.
Oh, come on.
I was there for three years of my life.
But it was formative years.
It shows for 15, 18.
Yes.
Oh yeah.
And two of those, I wasn't even there.
Right.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, you know, you really soaked it up there.
Yeah.
Chico's.
Did you go to Chico's tacos?
No, we didn't even go out.
We stayed at, we stayed at the embassy sweets.
So we had their, they had some vegetables, vegetables and some cheese.
And their manager special.
Their manager special.
Yes.
What kind of, I'll tell you, if you go to El Paso, you have to go to Chico's tacos.
Are they still there?
Of course they are.
And they're flourishing.
They're, I'm telling you, you will trip balls.
Cause you'd be like, I've never had these before.
I have never had those before.
And I, you've never seen that around here.
It's basically, they call them their rolled tacos.
They're basically flautas, which are the rolled tacos.
Yeah.
And they put it in a paper boat and they have some sort of magical juice that's on there
with some cheese and a little salsa.
What's the juice made out of?
It's magic juice.
I don't know.
Like you don't want to know.
Yeah.
You don't want to know.
It's probably a, you know, chicken broth and.
Hispanic body fluid.
Is it thick?
No, it's not Viscousy at all.
Viscousy.
Gross.
No, it's actually, it, it is.
It appears to be gross.
Like the first time I had them, I was like, ew.
And then I had them, I was kind of like, Oh my God.
Do you have to use a fork with it?
No, I would not.
You can, but that's only to spear the end of it and shove it in the back of your throat.
Test your gag reflex.
Man, I'm telling you, it is tremendous.
And then, uh, you know, about six months later, I had a hamburger from Chico's tacos.
Completely different.
It's not like a regular hamburger.
Yeah.
I mean, I can't explain it, man.
You just going to have to try it out.
Wait a minute, next time you travel through the armpit of Texas, you know, visit a Chico's
tacos.
I will tell you this.
When we were going through, it was either Arizona, I think it was Arizona, maybe New
Mexico.
We got, that was Arizona.
We got really close to the border, like really close to the border.
Yeah.
And it was where the sand.
You get shot at.
No, in the distance, you could see the wall.
Oh yeah.
So you're talking about it.
When you go through El Paso, you can see the fence right there.
Well, it's a fence, but I'm talking about Trump's wall.
Did you see the little kids out there?
Hey, Signore, chicle, chicle.
I didn't see any immigrants.
Oh man.
Well, these little kids are going on the international bridge, coming back and forth from Juarez.
They would have these little guys out there and they would try to sell their little candies
and little gums, you know, and it's kind of sad.
It is sad.
Yeah.
They would, they say chicle, you know, chicle.
Yes.
And if you don't buy from them, they get a little bitter from you.
If you go over there at night and you start drinking or something and you're coming over
and you don't buy something, there's a little gang of like, like, like six, eight, seven
year old kids, man.
And they start beating the shit out of you and take your wallet.
They have like a lighter and a hairspray and they'll fucking flame torch your ass.
Dude.
Oh, it's, it's bizarre.
Yeah.
Buy the chicle.
Yeah.
Just buy the damn chicle.
God, give them a 20 and run.
No, I think we ended up beating up like 30 of them.
It's like fucking Hulk and just like, it's crazy.
It is crazy.
They're, they're crazy over there.
They were crazy then, but they're desperate.
Well, the word is desperate.
Yeah.
They want the peso or the American dollar.
Yeah.
And I feel bad for their lifestyle, the lack of management that Mexico has done, but you
know, Mexico's falling apart.
Well, you know, hell.
But the thing is, is that when Trump was in charge of Mexico, the United States, they have
a higher liberal president down there.
That's why.
Yeah.
There you go.
That's not helping.
But when, when Trump was in charge, he was, he was working with them.
He was, he was helping them stabilize themselves.
Dude.
And coming up with, yeah.
If you don't want people to immigrate to the United States, you find out why they're leaving
their country.
Make it better there.
Yeah.
You make it, you help them improve themselves so that people don't want to leave.
That would be the plan.
They're crooked itself because one of the last Republicans or conservative, uh, guys,
they get whacked.
Right.
Oh dude.
So many, because they try to get stronger against the cartels.
Dude, there's two occupations.
You do not want to be down there.
A politician and a journalist.
They're killing both of them like crazy.
I don't understand the journalist thing.
I guess they're, they, they publish a story or they're going to write a story that's like,
you know, not, not flattering of the cartels.
I don't get it.
Next thing you know, they're hanging from the overpass.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
There was a journalist killed yesterday.
Oh geez.
Yeah.
Where at?
Uh, in, uh, in south, southern Mexico is what they said.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't, I don't get it anyway, but you're right.
So what's your opinion on, uh, Trump's, I don't know if it was Trump or someone else came
up with the first to, uh, designate the cartels as terrorist organizations.
I'm on board.
Antifa cartels.
Absolutely.
The cartels are terrorists for sure.
They're they're couriers of every can have it, man.
The human smuggling drugs, just all of it pack, whack them.
Well, think about it.
They've killed last year, what?
A hundred thousand people off of fentanyl that they brought over.
Yes.
How many, how many nine 11s is that?
A shit ton.
Yeah.
Well, they're, but they're, they're, they're, they are just the couriers though.
I mean, you got to go back to China.
They're the ones trying to make China makes a lot of the fentanyl, but yeah, they're packing
it, sending it their way.
China is really, in my opinion, some of the biggest proponents of the push to get shit
into over into the United States, including all the, did all the Chinese nationals coming
up here.
We have hundreds, thousands of cells.
I don't even know what type of cells I'm not talking Muslim terrorists.
I'm not talking Chinese terrorists.
I'm saying there's cells of people waiting to do something.
Bad people.
Yeah.
There's bad people that like, Oh yeah, but there's only a couple.
Okay.
Like what?
One in a thousand.
Can you imagine?
We've had 8 million.
Yeah.
You know, for 30 million.
So I mean, just imagine three teams of six guys going down a downtown area in any major
city of the United States, man, fully loaded.
It could be worse.
We're talking four or five hundred people.
Look what the Russians would do.
You know, I'm sure a lot of them did, but they would go to schools.
Right.
You know, I mean, look, look, you cannot stop these guys coming.
Yeah.
Imagine them hitting five schools at once.
Oh yeah.
All at the same time.
So all they have to do is go through a fucking window and they cannot get there fast enough.
I don't give a fuck who they are.
What a nightmare.
If you go in there with a team that knows what they're doing, they're going to get into
a school.
And you know that the intelligence agencies are fucking freaking out about, they don't
have a, they don't have a handle on it.
No, they don't.
In my arc.
Oh yeah.
He's a waste.
I mean, he's, he's, he's not doing shit.
Biden's not doing shit.
Biden's a fucking buffoon right now.
The blood, the blood money type of decisions they're making, all this to get votes, right?
To give them amnesty and let them vote.
And they're like, ah, it's a costume business with the fact that we just let in a million
bad people.
Right.
You know, China, what's a Chinese nationalist?
Well, it seems like, it seems like every week we hear about some Venezuelan punk.
Yep.
Killing and raping some young lady or girl.
I know.
Like the girl down in Houston.
Yep.
And that's just a one-off.
Just wait till they organize.
Oh yeah.
Well, like they're organizing, you know, crime, shop, what is it called?
Pickpocketing.
New York.
Right.
You know, but the Venice smash and grab, smash and grab.
Oh yeah.
They had a little post today.
Someone's walking into some sort of restaurant like a, like a fast food joint.
They order the food, they get their food or something like that.
And they just walk out with it and they're like, sir, sir, are you going to pay it?
And he's like, fuck you.
And he just walked up and he didn't say anything.
You're going to stop me.
Really?
We just looked at him and then some smaller person came at him and he just kind of just
pushed him down, just walked outside was staring people down as he was taking his French fries
one at a time.
You know what, was he dipping them in ketchup?
Oh, he had like a, like a magic sauce of a mixture of like ranch.
Oh no shit.
Yeah.
I can tell.
That was like a Chick-fil-A sauce.
Well, I think some of that, cause you see it on the news so much is, is moving here
to Frisco.
Steven told me, uh, was it yesterday this happened or the day before they, uh, cause
he's been working.
And on the way home, they stopped at a Murphy's gas station.
I think the one up the street there.
Yep.
And, uh, him and, uh, Logan went in there to get, uh, I don't know if it was a beer
water or whatever it was.
Yep.
And, uh, he said these two teenage boys came in loaded up with twisted T and trulies or
that shit and sprinted for the door.
Ran.
They were there.
Yeah.
They witnessed his first hand.
So they stop them?
No.
And he saw them come in.
But then when the next time we saw them, they were running out the door into their car and
loads of shit.
Unbelievable.
And then he threw it, peeled off, almost got in a wreck with another car and peeled off.
Unbelievable.
So it's happening here.
It's here now.
Down the street.
It's officially here.
Down the street.
That's great.
Two, two white little teenage boys.
Wow.
And they're probably seeing it on a Tik Tok, Instagram going, everyone's doing that.
They're getting away with it.
I'm going to do it.
Yeah.
It looks easy.
It looks easy enough.
Unbelievable.
And he said that the guy at Murphy didn't even realize what happened because they probably
still don't even know.
Wow.
They didn't even tell him.
They're like, hey.
I'm like, did you say anything?
He's like, there was like some 17 year old dope head.
He didn't give a shit.
He was the guy checking in.
God.
This society is falling apart.
Yeah.
It's so depressing.
This was a Frisco.
Frisco.
I was like, what kind of car?
He's like, it was a nice, expensive car.
Great.
Yeah.
Like a Bentley.
I don't know about that, but he goes, it was a nice car.
Like the new Teslas or the electric Tesla truck.
What the fuck, man?
But it was, it was, they could afford it.
They were underage was probably what their motivation was.
And they see it.
Let's just go steal it.
It's easy.
I mean.
Okay.
Well, I mean, but you mentioned, is that, was that a migrant thing or is that just-
No, no.
You said they were white kids.
That's just Frisco teenagers.
Unless they're migrants from Sweden.
Well, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I
mean, I.
Muslims that are coming.
Because Sweden is being super populated
by the Muslim community.
Yeah, but they're from the Middle East.
Maybe I should say that.
I think Muslim is the wrong way to say that.
I think they're being populated by Middle East.
Middle East, yeah.
That's North Africa.
That's what I meant to say.
But they are primarily Muslim.
It's North Africa and the Middle East.
Europe's getting destroyed by the North Africans.
And they're fighting back now.
The voters, the voters are.
They vote for the right.
They're finally realizing we're losing
our country.
Correct.
Losing their culture.
They're losing their culture everywhere.
You see like in France.
There's Macro about to get ousted.
Who is?
Oh yeah, no, apparently.
I mean, I never have understood
the way they do their coalition government.
You know, they have these fucked up elections
where it's not like ours.
Where it's like one party wins
and they're in power type of thing.
I mean, they share power and there's.
Well, that's what I said.
I read the headline that says conservatives
have huge win in Europe and France.
But then it says, you know,
Macaron is still there.
He's willing to work with it.
Right.
Is he not leaving or is this just the Congress type of thing?
It's like a staggered election maybe.
Maybe it's kind of like our Senate
and everyone in the Senate stays there,
but somebody's like the chairman.
I have never understood it.
I don't know.
And then you know how they say they dissolved the government.
You hear that in like these various European countries
and stuff and they're like, oh, this is a crisis.
They just dissolved the government.
And now they have to start all over with this,
you know, the different parties and stuff.
I'm like, what would that even look like?
Yeah. How do they get a central?
They don't have a centralized bank now
because they're the Euro.
Well, I mean, but they're not,
when they say that they dissolved the government,
it's like there's.
You have local government
because you have the police, you have the fire departments.
Right. None of that changes.
It would be like Congress.
It would be like Congress having to do snap elections
because everybody got booted.
Yeah. It's like, we don't want you anymore.
Everyone, we want new folks.
Everyone's out.
Yeah.
And then you have new elections.
It's too much to snap elections.
I mean, how legal is it for Biden to step aside
and have the super delegates elect
or suggest who's going to be.
I mean, did they have already the primaries?
Well, you're taking the, you're taking the vote
from the people.
Yeah. That's, that's kind of what I'm driving at.
So if they change their mind,
it's not democracy at that point.
That's basically the few rule.
These few delegates are going to pick your potential president.
But is that legal?
Is that legal?
Well, what if Joe Biden died?
Are you going to have another primary?
Well, you might have to.
I mean, I don't know.
That's a good point.
I don't know.
I mean, if Trump died or Joe Biden died,
we've already had the primaries.
Well, let's just say Trump gets assassinated.
So who's going to take his spot?
That's what I mean.
I mean, who gets to pick the next Republican presidential
candidate?
These few people?
Well, they always decide at the convention.
At the convention.
Correct.
The Republican convention and the Democrat convention.
No, no, no.
But that's a bill.
The party convention of states come up with a nominee.
Not at all.
No, it would be party convention.
The Republican national convention,
democratic national convention.
That's actually where they announce.
Were you saying convention?
You mean committee?
No, convention.
Is that what the RDC, DMC?
That's the convention.
I thought it was committee.
No, it's a huge convention.
You know, when they hold up their big state names,
Ohio, or Trump or whatever.
But you're right.
There is a committee.
But ultimately, when they pick their candidate,
they do it at the convention.
And each state has their own delegates.
Yes.
OK, so is there some called the Democrat National Committee?
Yes.
Oh, so there's a DMC and two DMCs.
It's a DNC and an RNC.
Yes, they are committees.
So it's committees.
They are committees.
Convention and committee.
Yes.
Because Hillary was supposedly the president
of the Democrat National Committee.
Correct.
Is she?
I don't think she was.
She was.
Really?
She ran the Democratic Party, right?
Just like, I don't know who the RNC president is.
Well, she's recently resigned, and then they have a new one.
Yeah, there's a new one now.
Because they didn't like her.
No, they didn't.
Ronda somebody?
I think it was Ronda.
It was Brazil.
Donna Brazil?
No, that's the Democrat.
We're talking about Republican.
Michael Wotley?
I don't know who the Democratic.
I don't know who they are now.
The RNC right now.
Michael Wotley is the new chair of RNC right now.
OK, who was the former one?
I think it was Ronda somebody.
Doesn't matter.
Anyway, but yes, they are the head of the party.
They're the head of the Democratic Party.
They kind of dictate where money goes and shit like that.
Fundraising, yeah.
Fundraising.
Who gets money?
Coordinating the delegates, coordinating the convention,
you know, all that kind of shit.
The direction of the party kind of a thing.
But they do not pick the president.
The delegates do.
Correct.
And they do it at the convention.
And so yes, you're right.
You're right.
Ronna McDaniel.
Ronna?
Ronda.
She got booted.
Ronna McDonnell.
OK, there you go.
She got booted.
Yeah, she got booted.
Why was she?
It says the former chair was hired by the news network
just two weeks after stepping down from the role at the RNC.
They all do that.
Yeah, but the RNC, the Republic National Committee,
got hired, gets hired at CNN.
You didn't hear about this?
No, I did not.
Well, but that doesn't mean.
They got hired.
It was either CNN or MSNBC.
And all of the on-air talent through such a fit.
Yep, listen to this.
Oh, that's right.
They repealed her job offer.
They pulled it.
That's right.
We did talk about that.
Yeah, because they were trying to get somebody
from the other side.
Like Juan Williams at Fox News.
He's a Democrat, and he's one of the few.
Is he still on Fox News?
I don't know.
Yeah, he is.
He shows up.
He's very limited.
Very limited, but he is on.
But that's what Ronna.
He's like special guest.
Ronna, I don't know.
Ronna, Ronna.
That's what she was going to be at CNN
until they threw a fit.
Ridiculous.
What happened?
All right, well, just checking.
Sorry, I was distracted by myself.
So the convention's coming up.
Do you do that a lot?
I do.
The Republicans are in Milwaukee,
and the Democrats are in Chicago, I think.
And they're saying it's going to be a shit show,
because they're already vying for a new candidate
since his horrendous debate performance.
And we need to talk about that.
But then also they're saying that anti-Israel agitators.
Oh, yeah, they're all going to be out there.
And there's going to be other crazy, crazy shit going on.
Shut them down.
I think it's going to be a shit show in Chicago.
And I heard today that Gretchen Whitmer basically said,
you're not winning Michigan.
Biden shoot the pooch.
That you're not winning it?
You're not winning Michigan.
After that debate performance, you've lost Michigan.
That's interesting.
I read the opposite.
I heard she was like, bring it.
No.
No, that's not what she said at all.
So she changed her tune.
Well, what you heard was bring it was probably a new,
maybe she's organizing some sort of new kidnapping scheme.
Right.
Right, that was crazy.
No, no, seriously, what I read was she was like,
if you think you're going to win Michigan,
you have nothing coming.
Bring it.
I mean, that was the last thing I had heard from her.
But that might have been before the debate.
But I thought it was after.
I think it was before the debate.
And I think I recall hearing that.
But after the debate, that's exactly what she said.
And she wasn't so harsh about it.
She was kind of just saying, it doesn't look like Michigan's
going to be pulling for Joe Biden.
Which, you know, in the Democrats, they're freaking out.
You know what?
OK, so here's my theory on this.
Hold on, hold on.
I was going somewhere.
Are they freaking out, though?
Or this is a big chess game to them.
It's a setup.
So they had this debate so far in advance,
I think on purpose.
They wanted to stow the United States citizens
to see Joe Biden.
Yes, thank you.
I mean, they're bringing California dickhead in.
They're going to bring Nunes in.
Gavin Nunes.
They're going to bring him in to run.
What did I say?
Gavin Newsom.
Newsom.
Gruesome Newsom.
So I mean, what a cheese dick.
You know, I mean, who else?
I mean, they're not going to.
Kamal Toh Harris isn't going to get it.
Could be Hillary again.
I don't think so.
She's got too much baggage.
And she's not that popular.
Yeah, but Gavin Newsom, his California experiment
has failed.
Totally.
Well, that's part of the problem, guys.
That's part of the problem.
It's like, they don't have a lot of options.
But it doesn't matter if they failed,
because they're not having a public vote.
These are the superdelegates that are going
to be putting him in place.
Yeah, but one of the challenges that they're going to have
is all the money that's been raised
stays with Biden-Harris.
Right.
You cannot transfer that to someone else.
It's part of their PAC, their political action committee.
So only Biden-Harris can keep that $100 million,
which means they're going to have to raise another $100
million.
Well, the donors are saying that.
They're saying they want refunds.
They want their money back.
And that won't be hard, because China's
going to be supporting Gavin.
Right.
Well, hopefully they can poke some holes in that
and see if they gain that much money that fast.
Right.
But I like, Sean, I like where you're going with that,
because I think the whole thing is bullshit.
It's all set up.
They did deliberately move it up.
They wanted to switch him.
They wanted the country to see him fail.
And they did this fake, oh my god, panic.
You know how they always give out the talking points, right?
And all the news medias.
All the sudden, they all panic, panic, panic, panic, panic,
panic, panic.
How many times you hear the word panic?
And Trump lied.
Trump lied.
Panic, panic.
What did Trump lie?
We know Joe Biden lied.
But they won't admit it.
I mean, he lied.
No American soldier has died under his watch.
Right.
Big lie.
I mean, what about the Gold Star families out there?
They're fucking spinning right now.
Are you crazy to me?
Losing their shit.
The Border Patrol, they don't endorse Biden.
They immediately came out and says,
we do not endorse Joe Biden.
Immediately.
They had it already written.
And somebody had their finger hovering over the send button.
You know what the thing is is that the only thing that I've
heard that Trump fibbed about or lied about
was that he said, oh, you quadrupled taxes.
Right.
Correct.
That was when I was like, oh, OK.
So it was three times four the amount of taxes,
which was the real number.
As a matter of fact, I read an AP Associated Press article.
And it said it went through all the lies of the debate.
And it had Trump ones and it had Joe Biden ones.
And every single one of them was like, OK.
January 6 was the one that Trump lied.
And it wasn't an insurrection.
He was never charged with an insurrection.
So that's what they're calling, he's gaslighting.
So they're saying that he, Biden is a master gaslighter.
That's all he does.
He just plants the seeds.
I know.
When I went through it, I was like, come on.
Well, let's get into the debate the second half
because we need to.
Oh.
We have a bourbon to discuss?
We talked about our bourbon before end of our program.
And this is a unicorn.
So I want to make sure that we cover this.
And I know, Sean, why don't you kind of cover
how you cured this and what we all think about it.
I got a rough stomach.
I'm sorry.
Give me a second here.
You have to shit.
He's crunching Tums.
Those are probably like three years expired at this point.
Fruity.
Yeah, they changed into fentanyl.
It turned into lactidine.
Did you put your nuts on?
What?
All right, so long story short, I don't want to get in trouble.
But I'll just say it was a gift.
That's it.
It was a gift.
And it is a unicorn.
It's hard to find.
Correct.
And what is it?
We haven't even said it.
So it is Elmer T. Lee.
It's a single barrel.
So they make several versions of this.
And this one is the 80 proof one.
90.
Is it 90?
It's a 90 proof one.
Is this a single barrel?
Oh, yeah, it is a single barrel.
I didn't know that.
90 proof, huh?
It says MSRP is 40 bucks, but that's not true.
Well, if you find it on the shelf, it's 40 bucks.
Maybe 50 bucks today.
Which never happens, right?
Because this was back in 21.
So I guarantee it's by inflation, that's probably
60, 70 bucks now.
Bidonomics.
Speaking of Bidonomics, I'm going
to change the subjects real quick.
Yes?
A college student made a Walmart purchase in 2022.
Yes.
I saw this.
$130 ish.
Uninstalled the app for whatever reason.
Reinstalled it just recently.
Reactivated the account.
And it popped up there, hey, would you like to purchase
what you purchased last time?
$130 the first time.
Yes, I'd like to do it.
Because he was like, oh, let's see what the prices are now.
$440.
Oh, shit.
Bidonomics?
OK.
And he basically said, in college,
this was how much I ate.
This is what I ate per month.
And it's just like, when you said that,
it kind of blew me away.
But anyways, this was a gift.
And you know what?
I'm telling you, I haven't really enjoyed it.
I can't really taste it.
And I don't know if it's the fact that it's 90.
But we've had some 90 proofs.
We had some 80 proofs.
That are tasty.
Yeah.
This one doesn't taste like God bless an alcohol.
Is that sad?
It doesn't taste like alcohol.
It's kind of like a brown sugar water.
It's like a tea.
The flavor that I do pick up, it's good.
It's thin.
It's just very mild.
It's thin.
It's got a peppery taste.
It's got a leather taste.
It is sweet.
It does have a little iced tea mix in there.
A little tea thing going.
Yeah.
I mean, it's not bad.
It's not bad at all.
It's just not like, wow, that's fucking fantastic.
Nothing to write home about.
I want to sip on this all night long.
The rarity and how people want to hunt for this,
I was just like Blanton.
Right.
Blanton to me is just kind of eh.
It is eh.
It's the hype.
Yeah, it is.
This is in the same boat as it.
But you know what?
Look.
If this was a higher proof.
Actually, I'm going to change my mind a little bit.
Yeah.
I just had my third poll on it.
Now it's a 9-9.
No.
I'm actually starting to like this more and more.
I could taste some cinnamon coming out.
Some cinnamon and some toffee that's coming out.
It's growing on me.
It's turned into kind of a dessert.
And not so much like a TX whiskey kind of pecan pie
or pecan praline.
But I don't know if it's that sweet for me.
But I'm picking up the vanillas and the butterscatches
and stuff like that.
Kind of standard stuff that we.
Yeah, standard.
Well, this is a Buffalo Trace.
So it's very similar to a lot of their other stuff.
Sure.
I think it is masterfully a 90-proof bourbon.
I think if you're a 90-proof bourbon,
this is about as good as it can get.
And I've had better.
1792 is better than this.
In my opinion, I think that for a 90-proof,
this is about as good as it gets.
In my opinion.
What was that one that you had like eight glasses of?
Unless it's better than that.
Can you give that a high score?
That was old Williamsburg.
No, it was not.
I can't remember the name of it.
I don't remember either.
Starts with an R. I can't remember.
But it's a common one.
And you're just like, this is great.
Yeah, I was drinking the shit.
It was great.
I don't want to drink this one so much.
But I mean, that one, maybe I was a little seasoned
or something.
But this one, I'm actually kind of seasoned right now
because I haven't eaten really a lot.
But you know, it is interesting though.
I changed my tune.
When we consider the hype, it makes us lower the score.
Possibly.
I know it does.
Because you expect more from it.
That's right.
That's exactly right.
When you hear a really great review of a movie,
you're like, oh, it's the best I got.
Then you go in there and it's like, wow.
It was shitty.
Yeah.
Crap.
I was expecting more.
Right.
And it wasn't a bad movie.
Right.
Anyway, so speaking of movies, we
need to talk about the Clint Eastwood.
Oh, hold on.
Let's rate this.
Yeah, next podcast.
I want to talk about that.
The Kevin Costner movie.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, Kevin Costner.
Isn't he some sort of dem or some sort of?
I'm not quite sure.
I think he's kind of floating the line on both sides.
Yeah, I don't know what's going on.
Oh, do you mean sexuality?
Maybe.
It's Hollywood.
He was all over Pride Month.
I'm kidding.
I think I give this.
I'm so happy that fucking rainbow disappeared.
Rainbow flag disappeared and an American flag appeared.
Does it ever really do that?
It's like in one day, it just, now you go back.
We won't deal with you until next year.
I wish our professional businesses and corporations
would start spamming us with American flags.
Oh, let's celebrate Independence Day, guys.
It's Independence Month.
Let's rock and roll.
You don't get much of that at your company?
No.
I'm just like, what the hell, man?
You should send an email.
Where is our July 4th American?
They'll say, I'm sorry, we're not
allowed to send American flags in email
because some people find it offensive.
That's probably what they'll say.
What you do say is.
I find the other stuff offensive.
I hear you.
But you're the wrong kind of person.
You are.
Well, I tell you what, I continue to, whatever.
All right, moving on.
I'm giving this a 6.4.
That was going to be a 6.8.
That's as high as I can go.
7.1.
Damn.
All right, we'll throw out the high and the low.
No.
We always do that.
No, we don't.
Of course we do.
Well, 6.8 would be about the average anyway.
Do we record all of them?
Did we take an average or do we record all of them?
Oh, he records all of them.
OK, what would you say that for?
I'm joking.
Oh.
Jackass.
As a matter of fact, somebody said that.
I forget.
One of the people that listened, they
were like, throw out the high and the low.
What are you talking about?
Anyway.
It's like diving scores.
Oh, look at me.
He's got the math up there for the high and the low.
Cool.
Yeah, it's not bad.
It's just, you know, it's math to me.
Anyway, I'm glad you found it.
And I'm glad we got to try it since it's a unicorn.
I'm thankful too.
When I first tasted it, it wasn't hitting.
But it opened up.
And now I can.
The finish, I'm picking up a lot of tea.
Yes.
I am actually really looking forward to the next one.
Oh, look at you.
We stay here at the moment.
OK.
You already finished your glass.
No wonder you're not.
I finished it a while ago.
No wonder you're looking forward to it.
I don't know.
Yeah.
I don't know.
You drank it two hours ago.
I did, kind of.
I did.
All right, well, let's see here.
There's the music.
Go figure.
Perfect timing.
Saved by the bell.
All right, guys.
Well, look, this was a, we have tons and tons.
We're going to take a break.
There's so much.
We got tons of stuff to talk about the second half.
It's July 2nd.
