I think our voices are better than the music.
We should start doing that acapello.
Alright delaying a little time until Jeff sat back down.
Our producer Mr. Austin is a little late today.
He's a little late today man.
A little late.
He's playing a game of height the mean stick.
Oh.
Alright.
Alright well, I can't get this thing popped up.
It is July 9th, 2024.
Um, dude's like, I'm Shawn.
I'm Paul.
And I am Jeff.
We have an incredible vault of topics to talk about.
Oh don't we ever.
Just popping out of the woodwork.
It's like popcorn coming out of the microwave.
By the way, don't eat that shit man.
Microwave popcorn is horrible for you.
Yeah the buttered popcorn is.
Every time I turn around and you know, listen, there's.
Something that's gonna kill you.
There is, but it sometimes it's disheartening because there are things that you get on the
social media where they have these satire sites.
Yeah, I got an Instagram.
I think last week I picked out something from these cocksuckers.
They were like, you were so passionate to, you know, Disney's they, they, you know, they
bought the rights to the Kings James Bible and you guys are like, what?
And what was the other one?
The Disney, they were the, the acolyte or the, the Disney, uh, what was the other one?
I did two by Disney back to back and they were both.
It was one where they're putting contrails and that's true.
They, they're absolutely doing that, which I don't understand that.
Well, they're not going back and added them.
I think they're adding them to the current movies.
Um, cars is a, no, I think, I think they were arguing they went back and added it.
Wasn't that?
Yeah.
But we didn't find any examples of, the only thing we found was cars.
And how dumb is that?
Like what would be the purpose of that?
Yeah, but the point is, is that it's frustrating because with, as you mentioned the, um, you
know, you don't know what's.
God damn it.
My, my, my semblance is going crazy here.
That little whistle going on.
It's the, uh, you don't know what's, what's right.
You don't know what the frick is going on anymore.
You don't know.
I mean, the AI, I mean, Julie had sent the, uh, this, this little thing on, uh, which
was fricking hilarious.
I mean, this is supposed to be Joe Biden.
Trump takes back the white house.
We finally get rid of your dumb ass.
What's next for you?
Are you going on vacation or like some sort of retirement home?
The sounds so real.
I already got offers from the, uh, a couple of adult diaper companies.
I mean, I already use their diapers.
So I might as well make some money using them.
It does something.
Joe wants to put me in a home, but they don't allow showering with daughters and shit.
So I'm not that excited about that option.
I think we're just gonna.
I mean, that it's, it's stuff like that.
That's crazy.
They're going to be able to set people up.
Uh, you know, like certain forensics, um, uh, investigating like people that examine
audio tapes and videotapes, it's going to be hard.
Well there's, well, there's enough that this isn't going to happen because we're nobody's,
but there's enough samples of our voice out there that they could take our voice and make
her their own podcasts.
I was saying the stupidest shit.
Are you saying they could make us say something offensive?
We're already there.
Well, cause that's how that's really scary.
I mean, we wouldn't do something like that, would we?
No, no.
Hey, Mr. Ross, awesome.
We're literally like two minutes in.
Yeah, you can see that, but I don't, uh, I don't believe anything on the internet and,
uh, I do research before I, before you say something on the podcast, before you ask yourself.
Yes, basically.
I see how that is.
The first thing you should do is check Babylon B. Yeah, check Babylon.
Yeah.
That's the first thing you should check.
That's the satire one.
Yeah.
Well, I need to, that's where it came from.
The one that you got, that is so retarded, but you know what?
Whatever.
Good for me that, that I found it, but it only shows it.
It's just, it's just an example of how global people, it is very confusing.
You know, I mean, I think about it.
There are politicians that get sucked into, uh, you know, interviews that are fake.
Oh yeah.
I mean, and they look at chef, he got pulled into those jokers over saying he had Russian
pee pee.
Yeah, I got, I got Trump over here.
He's peeing on prostitutes.
I got him.
I got a video.
Uh, why don't you, uh, why don't you send that to me?
Yeah.
I'll put you in contact with my top aid.
That's just a couple of radio disc jacks.
I think that would be Russian air personalities for sure.
I mean, and think about it now.
You could just, you could say, uh, there was a call from the president of the United States.
Will you take the call?
Oh, absolutely.
And then it'll be, it'll be fucking Joe Biden's voice.
And how would you know it isn't right?
You know what I mean?
Any politician.
I can be, yeah.
Especially if you're taking orders.
My commander in chief just ordered me to order 500 pizzas for this boy scout.
Right.
Or that or fire a nuclear weapon at somebody.
Yeah.
Uh, yeah.
They make a phone call.
Hey, I want you to back the troops off of the state capital of DC, pull them out of
the Capitol.
Let, let the riders come in.
Just let them come in.
Right.
I'm sure something like that is not done by himself.
Right.
He's in big rooms with folks to try to help make that decision.
Well, he's not, but Jill is.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Jill has the vocoder over the phone acting like Joe.
No, no, no.
They know her voice and it's, she's the one making the call.
Right.
And I don't, I don't feel the least bit sorry for Jill.
She wants to stay the power.
She likes the attention, the designer dresses, the covers on the magazine, the, uh, life
in the white house and she doesn't want to give it up.
She even, isn't she in an interview even saying something like that?
Oh, I don't know.
I wouldn't doubt it.
Yeah.
There was an interview where she was basically saying, you know, Oh, I just, you know, I
love the this and I love the, that the perks, the perks of being in the white house.
Oh yeah.
She literally is on tape saying that I mentioned there's tremendous perks, especially as a
first lady where you're, you really don't have to do anything if you don't want to.
Oh, she gets to shuttle around an air force one.
Yeah.
Her, her, her, her, she went to like three states.
I mean, look at Melania.
I don't, did she really, did she champion anything?
Oh, of course.
Each, each one does.
Yeah, they do.
You know, but, uh, it was reading.
I think it was reading for kids.
That's right.
And I don't know what Joe Biden's doing.
I don't know what hers is.
I know Obama's was school lunches that turned into a disaster for her.
Oh yeah.
As all these pictures were coming out of these nasty lunches, these kids are eating like
a piece of single piece of American cheese and a plain hot dog.
Yeah, that did backfire.
You know, and she was like trying to take sodas out of schools and just making, making
like miserable for kids.
Right?
Yeah.
I mean, they, they look this, there are so many, it's misinformation is crazy.
And when you get politicians and the government to stand by this misinformation, cause they
want to make, cause you got these, these businesses that want to make money, right?
Like, you know, like the food pyramid.
Did we talk about this last week?
No, the food pyramid has basically been debunked at this point.
Yeah.
I mean, but still it was the Bible.
Oh yeah.
It was the Bible.
This is the food pyramid.
This is what you're supposed to eat.
I remember learning that in elementary school.
We'd learn the, the food pyramid.
I think the basics are still pretty much the same.
What are you saying?
They're cut down.
Remind me what's been debunked about it.
I don't recall.
The grains, your consumption of the grains and that oatmeal is supposed to be fantastical
for you.
And a lot of that stuff is not, I mean, if you want to have it once in a blue moon, like
sugars and the cereals, cereals period.
I mean, there, there are better ways to start your breakfast.
That should not be the core and base.
You know, that should be the frosting on top.
I don't remember the food pyramid advocating eating sugar cereal for breakfast, man.
I don't know.
The food pyramid has been pretty much thrown out the window saying, yeah, this was wrong.
Well, look, so the, the, the companies that were pushing grains on people were like general
mills, uh, post.
What's the other?
I mean, that's a lot of blogs.
That Kellogg guy was an odd fellow.
You know, he really, he had some really strange, um, motivations.
I think he was trying to, I can't remember.
I don't want to get it wrong.
Of course we get so much on this.
Oh yeah.
No, it's wrong.
Yeah.
We have no interest in being right.
Yeah.
He was making corn flakes.
We may have talked about this.
He was making corn flakes to, I can't even remember.
Was it to keep people celibate or something like that?
There's something weird about his reason for making corn flakes.
Oh God.
And, uh, look that one up.
Yeah.
Again, I'm probably way out in the field, but there was something strange about it.
Kellogg's look that up for us, Mr. Producer, Kellogg's corn flakes.
Uh, and would you say the reason that, uh, Kellogg made corn flakes?
I think there's a movie out there with Kellogg, uh, but he was a strange religious guy.
The surprising reason why Dr. John Harvey Kellogg invented corn flakes.
All right.
Well, let's see what we got.
So in the 1850s, Americans preferred to answer what was for breakfast was everything.
At the time the Englishmen writing home remarked on the huge breakfast available at hotels.
You could choose between breads, pastries, pancakes, fritters, boiled chickens, cooked
cuts and beef steaks.
Not every American could eat extravagantly, but those that could, uh, chose big meat,
heavy fare, hot beef steak, beef steak.
Abigail Carroll writes in three square meals was a dish without which a proper 19th century
middle-class breakfast was increasingly considered incomplete.
As Americans binged on breakfast induced a national case of indigestion and an incident
in lighter fare that led to the rise of America's original health food cereal.
So you know, I've always wondered about the, well, cereal.
He believed a diet centered on bland foods like cereal would lead Americans away from
sin.
One very specific sin, masturbation.
Yes.
What?
I missed that.
Yes.
No, you hadn't read far enough.
Well, I was bored.
Oh, come on.
He apparently did not care about profits.
He wanted to improve Americans' digestion and bland foods would lead Americans away
from sin.
Interesting.
Well, maybe we should try that.
Maybe we eat nothing but cereal and see what that does to our sexual habits.
So the pyramid that I pulled up here, excuse me, is the very base of it's, you know,
bread, cereals, rice, pasta's group, six to 11 servings.
A day.
That's a lot.
It's over the top.
Right.
Oh.
Interesting.
Did you not silence your problem?
I didn't.
Is you going to silence yours?
No, I'm turning mine on.
Oh.
Interesting.
Nice.
He does sound like a weird dude.
I mean, the second one, three to five servings is like the fruit group and vegetables groups.
That's the second layer from the bottom up.
The third one is two to three servings of milk, yogurt, cheese, meat, poultry, fish,
nuts, eggs, and the very top, fat oils and sweets.
And bourbon.
Oh, yeah.
Bourbon's at the very peak.
Well, it's part of the sugars program.
So yeah.
That's the grout.
The thing is-
Within the-
The mortar.
The mortar of the pyramid.
I also saw this meme about the cheeses that we have.
And it just very blatantly said 98% of the cheeses that we have currently are GMO.
I don't know.
I don't know either.
I know the ones out there.
I don't either.
But that's my point.
Is that-
Is that a problem?
Genetically modified food?
Yeah.
I want real-
I don't know if it necessarily is.
But if you do something that's a little more resistant to grasshoppers-
Right.
What do you mean?
For cheese?
That's what they do.
That's why.
Yeah, that's why it's genetically modified.
So that it's resistant to bugs so that we don't have to spray pesticides on the-
On the cheese.
Well, it's more than-
It's an example.
That's an example of like corn.
That's an example of GMO.
All right.
Well, like corn, for example.
Most of the corn in the United States is GMO.
How would cheese be GMO?
That is from a cow.
I don't know.
Well, there's bacteria in it.
You know, in Europe, based on another meme I saw, again, you don't know what the fuck
is right.
I know.
There was a politician that was saying this.
Well, you don't use memes as gospel.
It's not the gospel, but that's what people- that's what everybody watches.
I know.
That's what we're constantly doing all the time.
That's the scary thing.
Everybody's getting their information from seven-second videos.
I do not.
What follows suit with this is that it is true regarding the European food versus the
American, United States food.
Yeah, there is a difference there.
So they say that we're not allowed to sell our bread in Europe.
Do they live longer than us?
I don't know.
An average of one week.
Yeah.
You know, I think that they're more healthy than we are.
I think they're not as-
But do they live longer?
I don't think that's true.
I doubt that's true.
Well, my experience being over there-
But I have no idea.
I didn't see as many fat people over there as they were here.
There weren't many fat people back in that day here even.
Well, that may be true too, but the point I was getting at specifically was like the
breads.
The breads, they're not allowed to sell breads.
United States made bread in the... It doesn't qualify as an actual bread.
There's so much fake stuff in it here in the United States.
Again, am I telling the truth?
Yeah, I don't know.
Is this a lie?
But we're seeing this.
Look, if I'm seeing it, other people are seeing it.
So you just have to start calling out these people.
And they're talking about the lobbyist and how the lobbyists are stretching the truth
of what exactly you're allowed to put in these things.
Right.
And they're illegally allowed to kill you using these synthetic things that they're
putting in foods, regardless what it is.
In a longer shelf life.
I mean, you're not allowed to sell all that stuff like Mountain Dew, little Debbie's,
Frosted Fucking Flakes, Honey Bunch of Oats.
Hold on, is this a list of things that are not allowed to be sold in there?
Correct.
Coffee Mate, common US foods that are banned in other countries.
The Coffee Mate, which is huge.
I think my wife still drinks that stuff.
Stove Top Stuffing.
You know, it's got some sort of gelatin shit in there.
Skittles, you know, Red Dye number 40, Yellow Six, Yellow Five.
I mean, just keep going there, Chico.
Interesting.
Gatorade.
I wouldn't think of that.
Maybe that's because of the different food dyes that are in there.
Yeah.
Interesting.
And Pop Tarts.
Pop Tarts are horrible for you.
Dude, I, in high school, I lived on Pop Tarts.
I lived on Pop Tarts through high school.
Yes, absolutely.
Because it was like a perfect breakfast.
Look at the Sausage Links.
Lucky fucking Charms.
I like Lucky Charms.
Tostitos Sausage.
I like Sausage.
Ritz crackers.
They have sausage.
They have sausage over there.
I still eat those.
It's a specific.
Go back up, Mr. Producer.
It said other countries.
For the sausage parts.
What was the sausage?
Farmer John Pork Breakfast Sausage.
Oh, I've never heard of it.
This breakfast food uses flavor enhanced BHT.
I don't know what that is.
A suspected carcinogen that is banned in Europe and Japan.
And California.
Oh, everything is banned in California.
There isn't food in California, is there?
That's right.
I don't know.
People have to travel to like Oregon to get food.
So again, I go back to the what's the lifespan of a English person compared to a an American
person.
If it's like a 10 year difference, then I think there's a basic.
They should have those stats.
What is the life expectancy by country?
Yeah, but if it's, you know, a year, two years or whatever.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention calculated average American life expectancy
is 76 years and five months.
The shortest nearly in two decades.
Lifespans for people in 15 of the Europe's EU's 27 member states averages higher.
All right, here we go.
Spain reported the longest lifespan with an 84 year lifespan.
He's got it right here.
Number one.
Well, I actually just go 10 to one.
Australia, 83.
So this is in 2023.
This is last year.
So Hong Kong is 80 life expectancy.
Both sexes is about 85 years.
Bulls sack.
Don't you know Hong Kong?
Both Texas, both sexes.
Oh, both.
I thought you said you said ball sack.
That's what I thought.
What is happening right now?
Did you have an aneurysm?
All right, so they got the Hong Kong, Japan, Switzerland.
These are all in the upper 80s.
Australia, Malta, French Polynesia, Sweden, Norway.
Scroll down.
Sweden, Norway.
Norway, Scandinavian area, Israel, France, Guadalupe, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland,
reunion, Portugal.
These are all in the 80s.
Chile, 81.
South America.
Now it dips below 80.
Maldives, Bahrain, 80.
United States, 79.74.
And what was the highest one?
85.
What?
So 80 years.
Essentially.
What was the very top?
85, I think.
85.
Most of them are like in the low 80s and we're 79.75.
So you're gaining a year or two.
Also, the United States, look at the women live like five years longer than us.
Yes, because they're smarter.
Is that why?
No, because they don't deal with stressful jobs.
I bet you see that as more women go into the workplace, the more stressed positions, you'll
see those numbers equalize.
I think it's because they don't make stupid decisions like...
Walk us through this, Paul.
Like driving like a maniac.
At 110 miles per hour in your Jetta.
Right.
Or 120 in your Montana minivan.
Or that too.
So my question is this.
To get these averages, do they consider...
When does the age start?
Do they say this baby died one day after it was born?
Does that count it in this?
That's a good point.
I wouldn't think so.
Well, why not?
I don't know.
Or they say, well, you have to reach at least 10 years old or 15.
They would have to, I would think.
Right.
But I mean, I'm sure there's a footnote here that kind of says how they came up these
stats.
I mean, or do they still count the people that get to 115?
I mean, that's the outlier as well.
Oh, no, sure.
You got to take the average.
So then they do count the kids that die at one day, two days, three days old.
Maybe.
So the researchers found that men and women in the United States live 2.2 fewer years
than residents in similar countries.
Is that food related or is that job and stress related?
I don't know.
So I put in there, and cause.
So whether it's because of universal healthcare, genetics, or the wine, life expectancy in
Europe, union continues to rise.
According to the Eurostat data published Friday, this past Friday, with the average
European outliving the Americans by five years.
You know what's really interesting?
Sometimes that's just less than that on some of them.
Sometimes these stats can be so misleading.
I mean, maybe not the longevity, but I remember they did a survey of cancer rate.
Okay.
Right.
And they said that Hawaii had a higher cancer rate than a lot of other places.
And they were like, why would that be?
And then they, then they come to find that they had free cancer screening.
So everybody was getting cancer screening.
Right.
And so their rates were higher.
And then all the people that never get cancer screened and eventually, you know, get it
and die later.
Right.
And their rates were lower.
So the thing about cancer screening is that, well, forget cancer screening.
The thing about correcting cancer is that they put you through the, what was that, chemotherapy.
Right.
Chemotherapy is like 97% not going to work.
Oh, I don't know.
I just, I just, I just know it's medieval.
It's medieval.
Well, my mom went through chemo and radiation several times and did it lengthen her life,
I'm sure.
Right.
It was miserable every time she went through it.
And she ended up passing in 13 years instead of maybe half of that.
Who knows?
Right.
Well, that is the thing.
Who knows?
It does make you wonder if you choose not to do it, which is like, that's a major risk
to take, right?
Because you're being fed by the medical community that, you know, if you want to live longer,
like the COVID, you know, you got to do this.
You got to do the radiation than chemo.
But what if you didn't do it at all?
Like there's some people who elect that they're like, I don't want to be sick.
I want to enjoy.
Right.
I don't get chemo, I'm going to have two years left.
Right.
I may have eight if I go through whatever you do.
Right.
I'll take the two, but I want to be sick as a dog.
Right.
For half of that.
But I'll take those two years of being fed.
But my point is, is that even true?
Like how many people choose, what percentage do you think of people who find out they have
cancer choose not to do anything at all?
Probably very small.
Probably less than 1%.
Right.
Right?
I'd fight it.
And so they don't, they probably don't have numbers that really prove whether or not you're
better off, you know, just going on a Mediterranean diet.
It kind of falls in suit with the food.
I just don't trust them.
I don't trust them.
I don't trust the politicians.
I don't, I don't trust what's going on at the white house.
I don't trust them.
I don't trust pharma at all.
Well it's the world's health organization, the NIH, the CDC, you know, Fauci, all these
people are a bunch of fucking liars.
Right.
They're money driven and they're status driven.
It's all about money.
Yeah.
No, I hear you.
So it's-
So it makes you question everything.
Everything.
Yeah.
But I mean, people got to question it.
And the thing about it is they're trying to keep people dumb and dumber and dumber
and dumber.
You know, they're not teaching shit in school.
You know, it's-
Right.
And we've, we've beat this up before.
It's just, it's frustrating.
But get this, get this, right?
So you find out a loved one has, let's say leukemia, right?
And they're scared, bewildered.
They don't know what to do.
They go to the doctors.
They tell them, you know, you got to do this chemo.
You got to do this radiation, all that kind of shit.
Right.
And I totally, I get it.
And then you, you do your own research, right?
Because you love them and you want to see if there's things that can make their, the
side effects be better and stuff like this.
And you stumble on these things like, like natural herbs and Chinese shit, right?
That they say, you know, does really well against leukemia.
Right.
So you tell your loved one about it and the loved one tells the doctor, what do you think
the doctor says?
Oh, that's just a old wise tailor, whatever.
It's either hogwash or even, even worse.
Even they like, we don't know if it'll work or not, but we don't want to take the
chance that that medicine, that that herb is going to have a counter effect to the,
to the chemotherapy pills you're taking.
Well, it's a risk.
So then you're fucked, right?
Now you can't do anything.
You, you can't convince the loved one that to take anything that may help them because
the doctors are telling them that it's gonna, it's gonna make what they're currently
doing worse.
Well, I, I, I look, I just hate it.
I hate not being able to trust.
I would listen to the doctors, right?
Because you know, if, if herbs and shit like that truly did work, it'd get out.
Well, it's suppressed by farming, by pharmacy, by big pharma because they can't make money
on it.
There's enough ways out there for people to get the information out there and it's
starting to leak out.
So Sean, Sean will find something and I'll give them grief about it and then we'll talk
about it and it's not right.
So the medical community, the medical community won't embrace it at all, which means it doesn't
reach patients that are seeking medical advice.
Again, I would, I would, I would follow my doctor.
If I had cancer, I would follow their advice.
Yeah.
I'm not going to go take some, you know, frogs wart thing.
Wait and know frogs words.
You should take, I'm not doing that.
Yeah.
And I agree.
There are other things like, you know, statins, uh, you know, there are other things that
you can be taken in that, you know, cause I asked the, my doctor and he was like, well,
you know, I mean, like Celtic saw, for example, I was like, well, you know, my Celtic stock
offers a lot to the body.
And he was like, yeah, but there's no data, right?
No proof support for that.
Right.
And then the other thing is like, all right, well, why isn't there data to, to, to, to
provide support?
And it's cause they suppress the data or they're not going to give anybody money to do a study
for that.
Yeah.
Remember we talked about climate change, right?
The only, the only projects being funded are ones that can prove that there's climate
change.
Yeah.
And they're not giving money to anything that isn't that says there isn't climate change.
Right.
If Joe Bowe says, you know what climate change is garbage, guess what?
He doesn't get funded next year and he doesn't get published.
Yeah.
Published.
Yeah.
They get laughed out.
They make their careers on getting published.
Absolutely.
Researchers.
So it's not a fact in that, in that thing we, we, we were watching, they, if you look
at the results that they came up with in their paper, it proves that there is no climate
change, but in the conclusion, they say there's climate change because they know they're
not going to get funded or published.
But if you look at the data, it actually, it doesn't support the conclusion.
Right.
It's crazy.
Whatever became of that movie that came out where we all watched it.
It's still out there.
What's it called?
It's called climate change.
The movie.
Is that really what it's called?
See if that's out there, Mr. Producer on YouTube.
Because I was, well, I didn't know the name of it.
So I was, I was searching for it.
I think it's climate change.
The movie is what I think it's called on YouTube.
That's David Attenborough, 2023, the cold truth.
Is that it?
It should be on YouTube.
Is it on the YouTube?
Yeah.
Check out YouTube.
Climate.
Climate, the movie.
That one's different, isn't it?
No, that's it.
That's it right there.
Yeah.
It's all still out there.
I'm shocked.
Yeah.
I just missed it as, oh, it's misinformation.
Yeah.
So climate change, United States, climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures,
whether it's human activity.
So they don't have, do they have a clause or a citation or some sort of notation on
there that says this is not, this is satire or this isn't true?
Yeah.
Scroll down to see if there's any warning on it.
Some of the other sides, they say that this is not true.
Right.
Well, look.
I recommend everybody listening, watching.
Oh yeah.
That was a good movie.
It's a really good documentary type of thing.
And it makes sense.
And they're saying things that you don't hear from the cultists that I think run the
climate hoax.
It's all like, what's it, Gore, Al Gore, you know, he's the one that started all this
shit, right?
Yep.
Right.
Did you see the latest where these Yahoo climate people are spraying Stonehenge?
Yes.
That's right.
And there were tourists that like were wrestling the stuff out of their hands.
What the fuck, man?
I know.
Now was that, is that, was that permanent paint or is that something?
No.
Apparently they were smart enough to like use something that would not have permanently
hurt.
Yeah, but it was like fluorescent orange.
I would, you know what, dude, people just need good old fashioned ass whoopens.
I hear you.
Yes.
And basically I think the, the Stonehenge one, there was a, it was like a grandfather
and grandson combo.
I think you're right.
Great.
Something weird like that.
I'm like, what the fuck are they doing?
I mean, are they descendants from Mr. Kellogg?
They were out there masturbating on their cultures.
No, no, no.
He wanted to stop masturbating.
Oh, gotcha.
Right.
So he's walking around making sure nobody else was masturbating.
Oh, that's quite the throw from, you know, I don't understand these, these protesters,
climate change activists or whatever.
They do these things and all it does is it essentially pisses everyone off.
That's right.
They're doing nothing for their cause.
Yeah.
This would, I think it's steering people away from their cause.
Then maybe that's their goal.
They don't give a shit.
They just want to bring it to the news.
Yep.
Right.
Oh, someone threw soup on the Mona Lisa.
Right.
Or even worse, they, you know, chain themselves to a, to something across a highway.
Yeah, that's just retarded because you're going to get hurt.
Until that cop comes by.
Yeah.
I mean, it's like, what are you doing?
You're going to, you're going to yank your fucking arm off.
I mean, you're going to do this one time and there's going to be someone who's pissed
off enough and they're going to drive over you.
Do you, do you remember the burning?
What is it?
The burning man.
Yeah.
The burning man.
So there's only one way in and one way out of that, out of that place.
And apparently there was a three mile backup because some idiots, uh, chain themselves
to a trailer that they, that they draped across the road.
And then in comes this sheriff's car or whatever that like smashes.
Well, they're like hooked up to it.
They're like, yeah, they're being dragged by it because he's like bumps it out of the
way and he gets out and he's like bitching them out.
And that was great.
Get on the floor.
Yep.
That was great.
It's a peaceful protest.
Not anymore.
I can't stand it.
And I tell you what Europeans, you know, generally you think Europeans are kind of more liberal.
Maybe they don't do, they are not.
So what happened over his road closure as well?
What happened with the French?
Did they pull a fast one and McCrone actually won again?
Yes.
Didn't they finagle something where a bunch of people dropped out?
So all those votes would go to him and said, like 200 people dropped out.
They dropped out of the race.
So what happened was it would be great if you could bring up a summary of it, Mr. Producer.
But so I, cause I don't understand their elections in France at all.
In France.
So apparently there was an initial election where Penn, right?
Le Pen.
Le Pen did really, really well.
And they were saying the conservatives, this is their, they're poised to trounce.
This is a shocker, a shocker election.
And then just what you said, all these people that were centrist or something like that,
they all dropped out of the race.
McCrone calls a snap election, which I don't understand why he can just call another election.
He called a snap election and Le Pen dropped a third and McCrone first.
And there was somebody else second.
And so they're saying it was like a total steal.
It was an election steal.
Yep.
It was definitely finagled.
I mean, how can they do that?
I think the movie.
How can they do this snap election thing?
Oh, that's France.
I think the writing's on the wall over there because McCrone isn't going to change.
He's just going to keep making things worse, which is going to keep converting people over
to I need something different than this guy.
Right.
So the next election, unless they do something crazy again and steal it again, it may get
overturned next time.
Yeah.
But why aren't people waking up faster than this?
I don't understand.
I mean, I know it takes time, right?
We're sheep.
We're guys.
We're sheep.
It's just mad.
People don't pay attention.
We are not the norm, right?
So most people just go about their day and they're just like, can I put food on my table
yesterday or no?
You're right.
And then the only news they get if they turn on news is like the six o'clock news for
30 minutes.
Is that even on anymore, the six o'clock?
It is.
But the thing is, is that the news that's on right now, it's a, they've got like three
stories and they're all in harmony.
And, you know, right, and they're, they don't talk about what's really going on.
Yeah.
It's all jaded.
It's all not real.
You know, it may be real.
Some of it, parts of it, but you know, they don't talk about what's really going on.
They don't talk about, uh, like, like the killings over the 4th of July weekend over
in Chicago, it was like what?
50, 60, 80, a hundred people.
I heard over a hundred people.
I mean, what the heck?
That wasn't, you know, broadcasted.
What the hell?
Isn't that the city where we're doing it?
I'll have guns there.
We're all safe here.
That's where the Democratic National Convention is going to be.
And then the mayor blames it on Richard Dick Nixon?
Yep.
Yeah.
I didn't understand that headline.
I didn't read it.
I didn't read it either, but it didn't make sense to me.
Yeah.
It might've been a little out of context.
I'm not really sure that he'd have some program that he put in place that he's blaming.
I don't know.
It's just so much craziness going on.
That's just the thing that that's just, they, they, they can't take responsibility for
themselves.
And it, look, it doesn't matter what color you are, there comes a point in your life,
like when you are a child and your parents, you grow up in a certain way, your parents
suppress you, beat you, nice to you, whatever.
Every child grows up different.
Sure.
So there are positive and negative that a child learns through the growth process.
So when they get to a certain point, they'd be like, ah, I don't know how to do this
because my parents didn't let me do this.
Whatever it is.
Cause it's, it's whatever.
There comes a point where you need to accept responsibility for yourself.
They make decisions.
I agree with that.
I totally agree with that.
But this is to me even more fundamental.
How, how are they reaching adulthood?
And when I say adulthood, I'm saying 15, 16, 17, right?
How are they reaching adulthood without understanding just basic right and wrong?
Is it because there's no God in their life?
There's no father in their life.
That's true.
It's culture.
It's victims of victims and no father, no father, no God, no accountability, no set
of rules, no.
You know what?
Honestly, by accountability, Biden's pro is a proponent of them not having fathers in
their life.
Uh, Kamala Harris is a reason why there's no fathers in her life.
You know, I mean, there are a lot, those are the, those, those two people, uh, created
law that wanted to suppress the black population and keep them longer in prison.
You know, uh, tagging on these, these, uh, extended prison, uh, sentences for minor drug
things.
Right.
You know, look, they're just trying to make money.
I just, so do you see the thing in Oakland?
The, the seven, the, the, the gas station, uh, a hundred looters.
Yeah.
Oh, they hung out for like 45 minutes.
Yeah.
Well, it took, uh, the owner said it took nine hours for cops to show up.
Nine hours.
And they were in there for like hours.
So I heard it was 45 minutes.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It was an extended period for sure.
45, but they weren't in and out.
They were in there and they were taking their time.
I mean, they were like, Oh, I'm gonna take this and they're just tearing up shit.
And the guy that was the, the, the interviewed on the news, he was like, yeah, you know what
the hell, man?
I mean, when are we going to learn?
When are we going to stand up and then say, call these people out?
You know, dude, I'm.
As that gas station owner, would you restock, rebuild and open again?
No, I mean, that's what they're all doing.
They're all closing down.
That's what I mean.
Everything's moving out.
Or you just say, screw it.
Give me the insurance money.
I'm going somewhere else.
Yeah, I would.
I mean, they're doing that even if they aren't, I mean, I think a lot of them are getting
recurring crime over and over again, get hit over and over and over.
Yeah.
They fixed the windows or they restock.
And next thing you know, they're hit.
And I think the insurance only covers not every single time.
Yeah.
They've been doing that for five, six years now.
And they're leaving, leaving that state.
Their insurance continues to cover it.
It just gets more expensive.
It's kind of like owning a property on an oceanfront where you keep having these hurricanes
come in here.
It comes a point where the insurance company is kind of like, yeah, I'm not going to
cover you anymore.
And then you got to go to these other.
People that aren't even based in the United States get insurance.
And those guys are really shady.
And I remember, I remember one of the justifications, right?
Right and wrong, right?
They're like, this is not your money.
This is not your, you know, you're going to get your money back.
What do you care?
We're just taking it from the man.
We're not taking it from you, Mr. Black owner or Asian owner, you know, anybody owner.
I paid for all that stuff.
Right.
But that's their rationale.
They're like, you know, we're just taking it from the system, taking it from the man
and you're going to get your money back anyway.
So what are you worried about?
I have a $5,000 deductible, you cunt.
See, they don't, they don't understand that.
If that's their justification, if it's their justification, like they were teetering
between right and wrong and they're like, well, fuck it.
You know, they don't, they're not hurting them.
Yeah.
Yeah, you are.
Yeah.
I know you speak of like the, uh, the insurance being dropped last time I was out there with
my dad when I moved him back.
Uh, I asked, I was like the, the homes that live right down there at the base of the mountains.
Right.
And we were talking about the snow, the weather and everything.
And I was like, I wonder how, cause he's, he looked when he first moved out there, he
wanted to live right down there, but it's a completely different way of life because
they get a shit ton of more weather and they get dark really early.
Cause you're right at the base of the mountain.
And he says, yeah, the, the insurance companies, they've had so many wildfires lately that
none of those houses are covered over there anymore.
Oh damn.
Because the fires come over that mountain and torture them.
So they don't have insurance.
So yeah.
When, so when you hear about an entire town getting torched in California or wherever
like that, and these are expensive, they lose it all.
These are million dollar plus homes over there.
Yeah.
They lose it all.
It seems to me like they could come up with some sort of protection, you know, like a
masonry exterior or like a, they can stand outside with a hose.
No, like a masonry exterior.
I hear you.
You know, like a cinder block house.
Uh, well, I mean, they make brick, you know, there's bricks masonry.
I mean, you can have a flat roof.
Something that doesn't burn.
Yeah.
I mean, my dad's house was made out of, had a steel frame.
Yeah.
That that's great.
And a tile roof.
Yeah.
Well, he had a chisel roof.
No, I'm just saying something that won't burn, you know, you can have a tile, like a porcelain
tile, like they have clay tiles up there.
Yes.
Stuff like that, that, you know, that fire can, can get there.
If a branch will fall on there or it'll come around it and it kind of goes around you because
it's, it's, it's non combustible.
Yeah.
But I think what happens is during those wildfires, it's extremely windy and shits flying through
the air and you break a window and Amber falls in there and your inside burns down.
Well, then you have shutters.
You make a good point.
When you're, they talk about the wind in these fire storms.
I mean, it's intense heat.
The heat is intense.
The wind's intense.
Everything's intense.
Shits falling down.
Trees are falling down.
I mean, it's just like, I'm just saying if you've got the money, there are the means.
I mean, those hurricane, um, they've got fortresses on the coast, you know, these, these big bay
doors that slam down on every single window.
Don't don't know.
They all fall down.
Is that Iron Man's house?
Uh, it could be.
Yeah.
No, an Iron Man's house couldn't hold up to a couple of missiles, man.
Fuck that.
Oh, good point.
Bitch please.
Good point.
That was very disappointing.
Yeah, it was.
I mean, like, uh, you know, I've been on the, like the Florida coast and, uh, the Alabama,
the, the Mobile Alabama coast where they've got some really, really innovative, top of
the line, technologically advanced, uh, homes out there, modular homes that are not modular,
but they're, they're just bunkers, pure concrete.
You know, I'm pretty sure mine would go up if I dropped a sprinkler or a sparkler next
to it.
Well, I mean, you walk around with a gas can trying to light, start fires.
What the hell, of course it's just going to go up.
I don't do that.
And that is, by the way, is another life expectancy thing between men and women.
Yeah, no shit.
Yeah.
No shit.
But we don't have to talk about that.
Yeah, we don't, but we'll bring it up.
Yeah, thanks.
Anyway.
Well, look, so we, uh, are you, you, we don't have it up there, but we had a, we were the
green one before we started up and Paul brought this interesting bourbon out and you want
to walk us through is it was called registered one distillery, right?
No, it's RD one.
RD one registered distillery one registered distillery one.
So that's not the one we're sampling.
I mean, we'll talk about that a second, but what would type of a tree?
So it's bourbon or whiskey.
It's outside.
It is.
It is a bourbon.
You want me to grab this?
Automata Pia, Automata Pia would, and Burano and it's Brazilian, Brazilian, Amarano.
So it was a bourbon that was finished in a Brazilian Emma, Timonana.
So it wasn't an oak barrel.
It's well waxed and it had a, it tasted like a toasted crunch cereal.
What was it?
Cinnamon toast crunch.
It, it, when I first tasted it, I was like, well, what the hell, man.
And then it, it kind of stuck and hung in there.
And I had a very adverse reaction to it.
The very first time I pulled it, like before tonight, because you probably took a big pull
of it.
Well, I mean, well, but also I put it, you know, I, I've gotten into this nice thing
where I put it, you know, I put a bourbon on a cube and it's a night or flight refreshing
bourbon and you know, and then I poured that one and I was like, well, it was very different.
It's not what you expected.
So you're expected probably the standard bourbon.
Yes, I did.
And then you got that and you're just like, it's not what I thought it was really awful.
And then I brought it over here and you're like, this tastes like cinnamon toast crunch.
And I was like, Oh my God, it does.
So this is a sample of how dumb our friends are.
Right.
Okay.
It's horrible.
Taste it.
So we did.
Taste it.
Yeah.
I did kind of pull a raccoon move on this one.
I was like, this is the worst I've ever tasted.
You got to try this.
Jeff and I are looking at him.
Hey Mikey, he likes it.
It's actually not bad, but it's different.
But anyway.
So the bourbon we're currently tasting, the first half of it is what we've had before.
We've had this the second time we've had it.
It's really good.
Even Austin pulled it up and said, you guys have already had this.
It's really good.
You guys have already had this.
You're stupid.
Yes.
But that's what we're doing.
We're not doing just new ones every time.
We can't afford it.
We need to get sponsored first.
So this, yeah, no shit.
So this is Redwood Empire Pipe Dream.
That is the one with the guy that has a tree sticking out of his head.
Yeah.
It's very interesting because the label on there says some dude standing there and he's
got like this.
Feathers or something.
It's feathers or something coming out of like a plant style thing comes streaming out
of his head and behind him is a constellation in these perfect circles that looks like he's
like, I don't know what's going on.
Is that a cross section of a tree ring?
It looks like he farted scat out of his butt.
That's probably exactly what it is because this is Redwood Empire.
So that is a cross section of tree.
That's exactly what that is.
Those are tree rings.
So this is Cask String.
This comes in at 115.8.
Yeah.
It's really, really good.
Let's talk about this.
So let's look at it.
It's a wheat.
Look at the viscosity.
This is a four grain.
So it does have some legs on here.
And the legs is the thickness.
So you see a lot of the ones that are thinner won't have the legs.
They're a little thicker.
So it's got a little bit of thick and it is sweet.
To me it doesn't have much.
I can taste everything, but I can't.
In your spreadsheet, Mr. Producer, do you have what we previously rated this?
Well, don't tell us yet.
Okay, don't tell us because I'm curious if we are consistent.
Well, we changed on a couple of these where our palates have changed.
Yeah.
Right.
So I do give it a fresh.
I do taste the cherry.
The nose is fantastic.
Yeah, I do taste the cherry.
It's got that soft leather.
What do you take the cherry cola?
Cherry Cola.
It's got a I do get the hints of the butterscotch on the after note.
The palette.
Yes.
Little pecans, little nut thing going on there.
This is a blend of four to 14 year old bourbon.
Again.
Wow.
A blend of four to 14 old bourbon.
How many bourbons are blend?
I don't know.
Hmm.
Interesting.
And how much of that 14 like three drops.
And it's for being 115.8 proof is very smooth.
It is.
Yeah.
Julie thought it was hot.
So that could be part of our acclimation.
Maybe higher proof stuff.
Maybe I was pretty hot.
Say that again.
Julie thought it was hot.
Oh, Julie.
OK.
So we don't necessarily think so because this is what we drink now.
Yeah.
So it says GPS 40 dot one three four seven two eight dash one hundred twenty three point
nine six one five two.
That's that's three hundred thirteen forty one hundred and the thirteen forty years old.
What the fuck does that mean?
One thousand three hundred and forty years old.
What is the tree?
That's a tree.
Yes.
Tree.
Oh, Lord.
It's a tree.
Yeah.
I wonder if that if the tree is called pipe dream.
Well, look, I mean, it has a quote from John Muir up there.
So and Muir has Muir Woods out there north of San Francisco.
It wouldn't surprise me if the pipe dream actually a famous redwood tree.
I don't know.
The potter of imagination.
The power.
Oh, the power of imagination makes us infinite.
By John Muir.
Very inspiration.
Pipe dream.
So the mash bill.
Did you talk about that?
So it's a four grain or grain.
We didn't call it a barley and even less wheat.
Seventy three percent corn, 18 rye, five barley and four wheat.
I wish they would dumb down the corn a little bit and throw in some other stuff.
It makes it sweet.
Yeah.
You know, I think we're at a point where we put our big boy pants on and move on, you
know, but maybe that's the reason why they don't.
Maybe it doesn't taste good.
They experimented with that.
All right.
So let's let's get down the nuts and bolts.
They might know what they're doing.
We've we sampled this.
So we've already got our notes in their scale from zero to 10.
I'd give this a seven five.
I was going seven six.
Interesting.
Oh, it's good.
I'm going to have to take a little taste and process it.
I like it.
Are you?
There's nothing off putting about this.
No, it could just I think it could use a little more flavor.
Right.
It's got a lot.
It could be a hint.
Just a hint of blandness.
Just a hint of it.
A blandness?
A blandness.
Just a tint.
I mean, that's what we're saying.
A little more flavor.
It's not bland.
I wouldn't call it bland, but man, if we're on it, it's on the lowest edge of flavor before
it gets to bland.
So with that being said, I seven one for me.
All right, here we go.
What do we do before producer?
OK.
You got Jeff at point one difference.
You said what?
Seven point five.
You had put seven point four beforehand.
Nice.
Now we're moving on to.
John, my father and.
You put what you say, seven point one.
I did.
You put seven point two for it.
Nice.
So you all are staying consistent.
Great.
So I'm not.
I'm Mr. Inconsistent.
Yeah, you are.
I give it a four point one.
No, you gave it a seven point one and you said seven point six.
Oh, that's rather like, are you OK?
I've never seen you this consistent before.
Yeah, no, I'm not.
OK.
He's not even drinking beer.
Therapist.
Well, maybe that's why my my pal is changing.
Well, again, again, I think our palates are changing as we continue.
It's always going to change.
Yeah, yeah.
It's always going to change.
And it's weird.
It is.
Speaking of weird.
Yes.
I just thought it change it real quick.
Well, I started talking about palates changing everything.
There's a storm that came through.
So we we had a we talked to Derricko that hit through South Houston and a Dreecho, Derricko,
whatever the fuck it's called.
There's a new one that Hurricane what?
Burl?
Burl.
I may have to go back to Houston.
Oh, yeah.
That's your favorite place.
You said next to New Jersey.
No, it's not.
I don't like Houston.
Houston is literally a butthole.
I mean, it looks like a butthole.
If you look out on a map, it is a butthole.
I mean, is it's I mean, they've got it's huge.
It's just it's just a butthole.
I mean, the traffic's horrible.
The people.
I don't want to say the people.
There's nothing wrong with the people.
Yeah.
Some of the people are fine.
I didn't really.
What are I?
People in bad people in every city in America.
That's true.
But but the thing that I was going to try to do is see if I have an exit stage left.
I'm going to swing and take the time and haul ass to San Antonio.
That's not really on the way.
It's not.
And you want to go.
Oh, you want to go to Rebecca's Creek.
Ding ding ding ding ding ding.
Get some Spanish.
North of Rebecca Creek, they've got the north of the San Antonio.
They got the Rebecca's Creek distillery.
So I'm thinking I'm going to head over there and buy a case of the fucking double.
Do you think they have any?
I don't know, man.
You might want to call them.
Yeah, you may want to.
Are we saying it wrong?
I think it's Rebecca Creek.
I don't think it's Rebecca's.
Yeah, I said it wrong.
It's Rebecca.
No, I said it wrong, too.
I think it's just Rebecca Creek.
So those listeners out there, I know all 10.
Thanks, Mom.
Thanks, Dad.
I can't say that anymore.
Thanks, Dad.
Oh, your parents listen to this?
Damn, don't shame me.
Fucking ass.
You got to laugh about it.
Yeah, now there's guilt.
Dude, I can't imagine my parents listening to my podcast.
That would be a nightmare.
Yeah, I'd ever want my dad to listen.
He'd call me up and go, really?
Yeah.
Like Jesse Waters' mom.
He's like, that's not what happened.
That's not what happened, Jeff.
I did give you real milk.
Yeah.
Oh shit.
And you got a full bag of chips.
What the hell, dude?
No, that's all true.
Unfortunately, it's all true.
So the double barrel Spanish oak.
So Rebecca Creek double barrel Spanish oak.
So they got rid or discontinued the double barrel Spanish oak and they just went to the
Spanish oak.
No, no, no, no.
They just diluted it.
It's diluted.
It's not double barrel anymore.
No, but that's remember the age at normal barrels and then the second round is in Spanish
barrels.
So it's double barreled.
So it is double barreled.
Yes.
Yes, it is double barreled, but they just diluted it.
But the current one is not double barreled.
Didn't you say it was Spanish oak?
It's Spanish oak.
Then it can't be bourbon.
Okay.
Yes, it can.
Doesn't have to be American oak.
We went through this.
Yeah, we went through this because the dude at fucking.
And you admitted you were wrong last time too.
Snarky fucker at.
I usually do.
What is it called?
What's the story?
Yellow Rose.
Oh yes.
I mean, look, I enjoyed Yellow Rose.
It was great.
There was this one guy there.
He was just like, Mr. Fucking Know-It-All.
Oh, like a tourist on a.
No, he worked behind the bar and he was knowledgeable.
He was quasi nice, but he was so snarky.
Like, and I was like, hey, it doesn't have to be a, like we're talking about the barrels
and I was talking about the char four that they have and it's like, isn't char four kind
of cheating?
And he was, he got, that's what kind of got his foot.
There was a ruffle.
I was like, so what, I mean, you guys ever going to do like a char two or charge three?
He was like, no.
I was like, why?
He was like, it's just, it's what we do.
I was like, all right.
And then some other guy sitting next to me, we're starting talking about what the barrels
are and I was like, doesn't it have to be an oak white, you know, what, uh, toasted
white oak barrel?
And he was like, no, it doesn't cause they make French ones.
I was like, well, I guess they do, you know, you'd have to be a Dick about it, you know?
Right.
Yeah.
It does not need to be an American.
Just has to be a new oak barrel.
Dick.
So any type of oak.
By the way, I'm your customer.
Correct.
American oak, white, white American oak is preferred because of its porousness.
Right.
Yeah.
So, uh, but whatever.
So I'm going to go to, I'm going to hit that up before I go there.
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to leave that hotel at the crack of ass.
Actually, I need to find out when they.
You need to time it though, because some of those distilleries aren't open until the weekends.
I'm not saying all of them, but a lot of them are like Friday, Saturday type of thing.
Yeah.
I'll work, I'll work this out.
I'll work this out.
You need to try to hit Milam and green down there as well.
It was in San Antonio.
It is.
Yeah.
I thought that was.
No, it's closer down by, uh, San Antonio.
All right.
Well, let me check it out.
I need to call up Marsha.
Marsha.
What's her name?
Marsha Green, Marsha Milam.
Shout out to Marsha Milam.
Um, I'll be hitting you up.
I got your card.
Yeah.
You got, you'll remember you from two years ago.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
I sent her plenty of dick pics.
I was going to say you pulled your penis out.
Perfect.
Yeah.
That's the way to really make an impact.
If somebody you just meet and she sent them junk pics, Hey, it was really nice to meet
you.
Here's some junk pics.
Enjoy.
Yeah.
She was like, Oh, thanks.
That's great.
These are the smallest junk pics I've ever seen in my life.
Right.
Perfect.
Where a baboon.
Are you inverted?
From San Diego Zoo.
Oh my Lord.
All right.
So, um, we ended up, uh, celebrating the 4th of July.
We did.
Nobody got hurt.
Nobody got burned.
No house was caught on fire.
No fireworks are at your place.
Oh no.
And let me walk you through why we didn't have fireworks.
Um, somebody decided they were going to have a little couple of drinky poos and, uh, they
were walking aimlessly through the house, tearing it apart, looking for fireworks and
they could not find the fireworks.
And they were like in my closet, my office, looking for fireworks.
And he was like, Hey, after a couple of days, week, whatever passed, he's like, Hey dad,
uh, Mr. Producer was like, where's the box of fireworks at?
And I was like, son, it's, it's in my office.
And he was like, no, we walk in my office, look up the closet, bam, it's right there.
Big old fucking letters, fireworks.
And he was even a box above it, like 18 inches wide, six inches tall.
And there's like a printed box on there with a firework display.
How could you not see that?
Anyway, so no, there was no fireworks.
I think they had a couple of small ones.
Well, no, somebody went into the, the, uh, the park, the parking lot next door and set
off some big ones.
Oh, what was I at from your party?
Was it the next night?
I don't know.
I don't remember.
They were big ones.
Oh, that was a terrible home, right?
Yeah, she did go home and I stayed a little fuzzy.
Steven lit a couple off.
I think they were remnants from the grand finale at your place that one year.
He had a few left and we, he went up and got them.
That one, the FBI chopper was hovering over the house.
The black choppers.
We all put our tin foil hats on real quick.
So they wouldn't see us.
That was nuts.
Good call.
That was a nuts.
So, I mean, we, we had fun.
Uh, we had a post 4th of July was this past weekend, right?
I forget what the deal, what was going on this past week?
Just dinner.
It was just dinner, right?
And then we went over to our, did you come over afterwards?
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
I felt like shit the next day.
I was like, man, I'm not doing it.
Well, yeah, you kept pulling out.
Hey, try this bourbon.
No, no, no, no.
Don't blame that shit on us.
Did you see how much did you see the volume he was putting in his drinks in his class?
I mean, I didn't tell him to fill it up.
No ounces.
No.
Well, I saw you don't know you started it.
You started it.
I followed suit on the last two.
I was just following everybody else.
Strong pours.
If somebody jumps off the bridge, mine got a little bit stronger and apparently you still
have one sitting there that you need to finish.
Yes, I need to.
Where is that?
Is that your house?
I butt loosed it.
I bet you did.
So look, but what, but I really enjoyed it.
I mean, you kind of mocked it a little bit, but seriously, you didn't enjoy tasting all
those.
Of course I did.
But I was giving you an explanation of why things got hot and heavy.
Yeah, but look, you can sample a bunch of bourbons, but you need to get our fucking
dick all hard coming up this weekend.
Cause we've got the world of whiskeys with 150 whiskeys.
Do we have a list of what those 150 are?
We don't.
I looked on the website.
They have last years and there's many on there I've not heard of.
So let's, I want to talk about the part just for a couple of seconds.
I want to jump into the whiskey thing real quick.
So what we did and what our courage, other whiskey drinkers out there is that we got
instead of the larger Karen glasses, Glen Karen got glasses.
We got like the, the small sample ones.
Correct.
It was like 1.5 or something like that.
Yeah, they're tiny.
That's super small, man.
I think that's the best way to go.
I freaking loved it.
I think we need to bring one to Total Wine.
So when their samples just go.
I bought a 12 pack.
I bought a 12 pack of the Glen Karen glasses.
Did you really?
I did.
But the little, the little ones?
I did.
Oh wow.
I did.
Cool.
Yeah.
Nope.
They'll probably give it.
Who?
At this, at this tasting.
Oh no.
He's talking about Total Wine.
I know.
We'll have a Glen Karen glass at the, at the taster.
Yeah.
They'll provide their own glass.
They'll provide them.
But you know, for the party, you know, I was excited about digging into my stash and knowing
that I was only going to pour a half ounce to an ounce.
You know, it just seemed easier to let the good bottles out.
Cause I'm like, I'm not going to kill this bottle.
Right.
Of course.
Because they're all going to be super small samples.
And we're just sampling.
And I loved it.
Oh yeah.
It was good.
Yes.
It was fun.
We all got blown up.
But for me personally, I did get blown up, but it wasn't, I didn't get stupid drunk.
I didn't get stupid drunk.
I just, I felt like when I came home is when I really felt it and I went to bed.
I was like, fuck.
What'd you drink?
I'm sorry.
Water.
Do I have water?
No, not at your place.
I did at the restaurant.
Yeah.
I'll tell you what, I was, I was highly disappointed in that restaurant.
I always am.
It's just a fricking Mexican restaurant.
Exactly.
It's just another overpriced Mexican restaurant.
You know, we might as well go on to fucking Chico's tacos.
Yes.
I would rather have done that.
I feel like, I feel that way about all of them, to be honest.
That shit is already pre-made.
They bring it out in five minutes.
I mean, and it's, how can you make it that much better than the other guy?
I got the fajitas.
It's ambiance.
And it was bland.
I was very disappointed.
Yeah.
I got the, I got the chicken.
I love my little, I love getting the poblano chicken things.
It's just crazy though.
15 bucks a plate.
I'm just like, dude, we can get the same thing, like seven bucks a plate at like a taco stand.
Yes.
You know?
Yeah, but that's what they wanted.
Better.
Whatever.
I mean, it's, I get burned out of that kind of shit.
I just don't, I don't see it.
I mean, all these big, expensive, fancy Mexican restaurants, I don't get it.
But that's what it means.
Well, a taco is a taco.
Right.
Well, I mean, it's a sign of the times too.
So I mean, I understand that that particular restaurant is a little bit higher, but look,
let's be real.
Even the bars, everyone's getting higher.
You know, everything costs more.
You know, and we spoke last week about some kid having a Walmart app on his phone, ordering
groceries in college two years prior, 150 bucks ish, whatever.
And reopened the app two years later currently.
And he posted, you know what?
I had the same app and 450 bucks now.
Yep.
Same shit.
That is shocking.
That is crazy.
And that's what's going on.
Look, that, that money has to go everywhere.
So I mean, that's not just that.
I mean, that, that transfers over to the hospitality business where you got to pay more.
Yeah, that's true.
Good grief.
But I gotta tell you that Friday night, I mean, I had a good time and I was not blown
up and I can tell you it was not blown up because I met my riding buddy at six 30.
We rode for five hours, 400 miles.
You're blown up.
No, I was sitting next to you.
I was not.
Cause I was.
There's no way I'm getting up at six 30 riding five hours if I'm blown up.
Cersei.
Yeah, seriously.
What do they call that?
A functioning alcoholic?
No, they don't.
I'm sure.
Hell no.
Well, maybe your term for blown up and my term are different, but you were feeling good.
I was feeling good.
No question about it.
I mean, I drank a bunch of water and went to bed.
Yeah, I didn't sleep well.
I'm at, I'm at the point where I'm just like, I'm not, I don't like it like that.
I know.
I'm with you need a goddamn sleep apnea machine.
I have to preface that first.
I'm not snoring like that anymore.
Oh, my wife, I lost weight.
Okay.
Well good.
That is good.
Yeah.
I think I still snore, but not like I was.
I take a whatever, man.
I want to lose another, I want to lose another 20 pounds.
I snore like a motherfucker, man.
I think mine was weight induced when I don't have my sleep apnea machine on.
I snore so bad.
So I don't think it's weight.
I mean, well, I think it, I think it can weight gain a weight loss can affect how certain
individual snores, but I think a skinny person can snore.
And I think of course a heavy person can snore.
Of course.
Austin just put on the producer, just put on there and he says he snores.
Yeah.
I'm not saying, I'm not saying that he is not big.
He's a toothpick.
Skinny people don't snore.
I'm just saying when I got my heaviest is when my snoring started.
Right.
His fat ratio is very slim.
Right.
So when I was at my heaviest is when my snoring really got bad.
Yeah, no.
Well, yeah, but you know, the litmus for me is when you get up in the middle of the night
to go pee.
So sleep for sleep apnea, you know, one of the prerequisites.
So if you're getting up once, twice in the middle of the night to go pee, that's usually,
that's because you, you've got sleep apnea.
I thought that's because you have a tiny bladder.
I don't know if I totally agree with that.
I 100% agree with it.
You know, for me, I 100% agree with it.
Oh, for you.
I don't know.
Cause I'll sleep through the night many nights.
I don't understand the connection there though.
Yeah.
I don't understand the connection.
I don't either.
But you know what?
I used to get up two, three times a night and since I got my sleep machine, zero.
Interesting.
I may have gotten up two, three times in the last two years.
I guess, I guess, I guess you could say that, um, with sleep apnea, you, you don't get,
you know, deep sleep.
So you're kind of half awake and then you become awake.
And then when you become awake, you become aware that your bladder, that's exactly what
I'm getting at.
Right.
That's what sleep apnea is.
You wake up because you can't breathe.
And when you wake up, you know, you find yourself doing other stuff.
You're looking at your phone, you know, you, you, whatever.
I mean, I used to have that guy slept down like on the fucking couch for fucking 10 years.
Right.
So I guess, I guess that's true.
It's anything that interrupts a deep sleep.
I don't know, man.
I just, I want all of us to be as healthy as we can.
Yeah.
My sleep has gotten, like I said, once I, I'm down 20 pounds, I'm not saying I don't
snore, but it's, it's not like it was.
My wife's like, you don't snore like you used to.
That's good.
She goes, I miss it.
Cause she got used to it.
Really?
She's like, when I was traveling, it's like white noise.
Yeah, when I was traveling, she's like, I can't sleep without your story now.
Oh, that's so funny.
Yeah.
She goes, it's too quiet.
Oh, that's really interesting.
So she noticed that when my snoring reduced, she commented.
Now you need one of those white noise machines.
Right.
Now there's sounds like this.
Now, again, I still think I snore, but I don't think it's to the degree that it was.
Sure.
Like I said, if as long as you're not getting up every night and going to the bathroom,
like I said, I think that's the litmus.
I do that a couple of times a week, baby.
But I also pay attention to when, okay.
I drank something too close to bed time.
Yeah.
Right.
So that I drink, I drink a glass of water almost every night before I go to bed.
I can't do that regardless.
Even before I was fat, I couldn't do that.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Well, yeah, you got to find your own pattern, right?
Yeah.
I'm still inconsistent.
Last two nights I've woken up two or three times.
I hate it.
Fucking hate it.
And then I'll have nights where I'm- Great.
Yeah.
And nothing's- Are you wearing the machine?
Yeah.
Nothing's different.
Right?
I just think that sometimes you receive your machine well when your mouth is closed.
And I think that sometimes perhaps when you have a-
It could be that.
Allergy or something, your nostrils are- Do you have a mouth machine now or is it just
nose?
Just nose.
Yeah.
So I do need to invest in the one that has the mouth too.
Yeah.
I recommend it.
Whatever.
I mean, everyone's got their own thing going on.
It just worked for me and I want to spread the gospel.
That's all.
I hear you.
And just the fact that I was falling asleep-
You had a severe case of it.
I did.
Severe case.
Severe.
Yeah.
We thought we were going to lose you and me.
We're in that hotel room.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I've been in multiple hotels rooms and every time I'm just like, God, he's like,
there's three minutes of him not breathing.
Yes.
And when he did breathe, it was like his throat and mouth was full of blood or something.
Yeah.
That was bad.
It was really bad.
Well, I'll tell you the thing that usually wakes me up in the middle of the night are
my shoulders.
Oh, yeah.
I have bad shoulders and if I don't move enough-
Get stiff.
They get stiff and they hurt really bad.
Yeah.
Really?
And then I wake up, yes, it's bad.
That's usually what ends up waking me up on my shoulders.
Yeah.
I take all sorts of stuff right before I go to bed.
Different things that should help with that and should help with just being able to fall
asleep and-
Ludes.
None of it.
None of it's pharma.
You know what it kind of ties in the false narratives and misinformation out there and
taking our supplements that we're supposed to be taking?
Yeah.
It's kind of, I've been bitter.
I've been internalizing it about the medicines that I'm taking because-
You've taken a bunch of supplements for a while now.
Yeah, and I continue to, but I've started not taking them every day.
Like my blood pressure medicine and my cholesterol medicine, I'm taking it two, three times a
week as opposed to every day.
Okay.
And it's because I'm reading all the stuff about it and it's just like, statins are supposed
to be bad for you.
You know?
Because it's more harm than good, right?
Yeah.
And I'm like, all right, well then there's stories like, all right, well why do you want
us to stop taking this cholesterol medicine?
Why do you want us to take them a cholesterol medicine?
Well, so that you don't clog your arteries.
All right.
When the artery is clogged and they slice it open and it's filled with plaque, where
does it, is the plaque a product of the cholesterol?
No, but it's a-
Right.
I know.
Why are we-
What is the plaque a result of then?
I don't know, Mr. Producer.
What is the, what causes the plaque in the arteries?
They say it's the bad, the LDL, right?
The bad cholesterol.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Could a, an adjustment diet do the same thing as a statin?
So it's saying that the plaque in arteries, also known as the atherolosopic plaque, is
caused by a buildup of substances in the inner lining of the artery.
Cholesterol, fatty substance, cellular waste products, calcium and fibrin.
So cholesterol is one of many things.
One of many.
And which, by the way, cholesterol is critical in your body.
So it's critical for your brain.
It's for your brain.
Yeah.
And so these people are starving themselves of cholesterol and that's not good either.
So I'm just like, and they talk about how in the 70s you were supposed to have, is it
130 or 230?
What is considered high, 130 or 230?
Anything over 200, getting close to 200 I think is considered high.
No, but in the 70s, but in the 70s it was, the number was higher.
And then all of a sudden they came out with this medicine to reduce it.
Then they were like, oh, I think we need to reduce it down.
It's kind of magical that, you know, all of a sudden when they came up with this medicine
that they figured out, oh, this lowers cholesterol.
Then they were like, started prescribing people.
They started lowering the amount of cholesterol that you're supposed to have in your body.
Right.
So basically shutting down a portion of your liver and your, mind you, the liver only makes
20% of that cholesterol that's bad.
Right.
20%.
So you're shutting down your liver for something that's not even charge of.
I know.
Something else makes the 80% of the cholesterol.
So it's like, what the fuck?
Why aren't you shutting down the other stuff?
I don't get it, man.
This goes back to a lack of trust.
We were talking about this in the beginning of the podcast.
Think about this.
If somebody is diagnosed as having too high cholesterol and they say you need to be on
cholesterol medicine, it is for life.
No.
Well, it is.
Like for most people.
That's not what my doctor said.
Well, for most people though, they say, well, shit, now I'm on blood pressure medicine
for life.
I'm on cholesterol medicine for life.
I'm on thyroid medicine for life.
These are for life medicine.
This is what I asked my doctor when I first got put on the stat and I was like, do I have
to take this?
He goes, if your numbers go down, we could stop taking this.
Yeah, sure.
Meaning if your diet gets better, you start to exercise.
There are definitely things you can do to not need to be on these things.
So they're not life.
I'm saying the average American.
Seriously, think about it.
Well, I think I'm an average American.
Yeah, but I'm just telling you when people go on heart medicine and cholesterol medicine,
I bet you 80% of the time it's for life.
Well, I tell you the blood pressure medicine, I'm taking that because of the testosterone.
Yeah, yeah, no, I mean, so I can stop the testosterone and my blood pressure would go
back to normal.
Right.
But you see the point I'm trying to make.
Pharma, they see dollar sign.
Of course, when they're pushing doctors and like you said, Sean, when they're pushing
numbers, everybody needs to be below 120, you know, over 80.
If you're anything over that, you need to be on blood pressure medicine.
How do you fix this?
Right.
What's the solution?
Stop taking the stuff and then roll the dice on heart disease?
Well, so if we're specifically referring to cholesterol, does cholesterol contribute
to heart disease?
Yes.
So I don't know.
I don't know the answer to that.
Heart disease is the number one killer in the United States.
Yeah, but we're taking all this shit that kills our heart.
You know, I mean, I don't know.
The problem is, is that I don't trust them anymore.
Trust the keyword.
You know, I just don't fucking trust any of them anymore.
And when they tell me there's no data to support that, well, fuck off because there's data
out there.
That's what I'd like to say with all that homeopathic stuff.
Yeah.
This is not FDA approved.
There's no data.
That's right.
All that stuff.
That's because they kill it.
They kill it.
They don't let it in there.
I honestly believe that.
Well, the FDA, I think, requires the companies to put that on there to say this is not FDA
approved.
Right.
And whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, I don't know.
Well, the FDA and the FDA is totally in line with pharma and neither one of them have any
interest in advocating for something that can't make money.
Life struggles.
That's what dudes like us go through.
Right.
And all these.
It is.
I mean, they're the decisions you each individual has to make.
And make you do your own research and take charge of your own.
Don't just listen to what your doctor says blindly.
Back up what they have, what they say to you.
Well, also, also, yeah.
Go do your own damn research.
Well, you also have to look at your genetics and your family.
You do.
Well, yeah, there's a lot of if you have a lot of heart attacks and strokes in your life
and take it seriously, I may need to take those stats.
Absolutely.
If I have a high level of diabetes.
All right.
I need to watch myself there.
Right.
Cancer.
I don't know how you stop cancer.
Sounds a little slow, doesn't it?
Yes.
There's a new setting on there.
I can fix it.
Did you do that, Mr. Producer?
Are you screwing with us?
No, it's probably when I added it before he got here.
This is more mellow.
Hey, how you doing, man?
So far out.
Yeah, we've gone from bourbon to marijuana.
I want to keep it now because we're talking about it.
Fuck.
