Whatever.
Very easy.
Almost lemon.
I don't know what that's all about.
Are you talking about your Ying Ling Light beer?
I'm not talking about my Ying Ling Light beer.
But you don't only bring the Ying Ling Light?
That's what I buy.
That or Miller Life.
I like the Ying Ling Light the best, but I'll go with Miller Light as well.
I think they're both.
Actually, I mean, we've had Miller Light the last couple of times at Boomer Jacks.
I've been like, you know what?
I'm like, maybe this is better.
I don't know.
I'm not a huge fan.
I used to drink Miller Light all the time.
I'm not a huge fan.
And frankly, I'll tell you truthfully.
Be truthful.
I started drinking Bud Light.
Oh my God.
And I was thinking, Bud Light has a better taste than Miller Light.
And then Dylan Louvain, he fucking fucked everything up.
And I was like, you know what?
Fuck off.
I'm not drinking.
Oh, you're saying before that happened.
Yeah.
And then I switched to yesterday.
Yeah.
I switched to Kerz Light.
I started drinking Kerz Light.
But this Ying Ling Light works pretty good.
So you know, Jeff and I went to lunch today.
I tried to inject myself, but I like, why bother?
So we went to Home Depot.
We had to pick up some woods.
We got some projects done, and we sat and had some lunch.
And we're talking about, yeah, you know, I think what I'm going to do.
Because last time you shared a little story, and you were like...
I did?
Yeah.
You were just like, yeah, I was loading up the beer cooler, and I slid an extra beer
in there thinking, you know, because that was the time you weren't drinking beer.
You just said, I'm going to have my drinks.
Do I have bourbon?
That's it.
And you slid a beer in there, and you're like, oh, Shelley was like, what is that?
Is that for you?
Totally called you out.
So I was kind of like, fuck that, man.
I'm bringing Paul some beer.
You know, so Paul shows up, and he was like, you're lying.
You're not out flat.
He doesn't realize I ran inside of your fucking beer.
That's what you did.
I got it.
Yeah, we're fully stocked now.
He's thinking about you.
We have eight beers.
Yeah, that was very nice.
I do appreciate that.
Plus, he was probably nude outside at the time.
Who was?
Sean Waits.
No, I was in my underwear.
Fully erect.
I wasn't erect.
That's usually how he is when I pick him up.
Yeah, just nude.
I don't really understand that.
This is off the truck.
This is the first half.
It's August 14th of the Dudes Like Us podcast.
If you guys don't know what the Dudes Like Us podcast is about, we're basically three
dorks that have been friends forever.
Little aged men.
We got all this stuff laying around.
We're like, yeah, you know what?
Maybe we should do a podcast.
And the next thing you know, we're doing a podcast four fucking years ago.
No, no, no, only because we're extremely, extremely qualified for this.
We went through professional.
We auditioned with 10,000 people, I think.
And they picked us.
Handpicked, handpicked.
And then again, guess what, guys?
You are the proud owners of the Dudes Like Us podcast and you get nothing.
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
And if you buy bourbon to try, you have to pay for it.
Yeah.
Yep.
Yeah.
We need to find a sponsor.
Well, Dudes Like Us, check us out on Instagram, Dudes Like Us dash podcast.
We also have a Dudes Like Us Woodcraft.
If you're interested in some of the woodcraft stuff we got, we got a little CNC machine
from is it One Infinity?
One Finity.
One, one Finity.
One Finity.
So it's a cool little, it's a cool little machine.
It's a huge apparatus.
It does, you know, almost four foot by four foot.
I think it does almost three foot by three foot.
It's it's it's fun.
It's a router.
And then we have a little attachment.
Does laser.
We do plaques, keychains, little refrigerator magnets.
It's all fun stuff.
It's nothing practical, but it's all fun.
It's all fucking fun.
It's available to you.
Check us out on Instagram dash Woodcraft in IMS.
If you want a special project to make, we can we can whip that out for you and mill
it.
Thank you, Mr. Producer.
We heard some great news and some sad news and the producer is going to be leaving us
and within a year ish.
You know, it's a long time.
It is a long time.
We will thoroughly abuse him.
I mean, it'll be a long time for him.
But for us, the dinosaurs time is going to fly by really quick.
The next thing you know, he's going to be fucking gone.
And frankly, I'm going to be a little I'm disappointed.
I know he's he's gone.
It is.
I'm not going to be sad.
It's the cycle of life.
Of course, it's your last one.
It's a circle of life.
What you want is you want to move out and you don't want to come back.
No, it's not a matter of that.
I'm going to miss him here at the podcast.
He's here all the time, dude.
He's like, you know, he he's one of the few guys and knows how to use an X 32 soundboard,
a digital soundboard.
I mean, that's you're not going to we're not going to ever find another producer that can
do that.
The only way I think of that person I can do is maybe Taylor.
But even he isn't as savvy as our producer is Mr. Austin.
Well, you know, it's dudes like us.
I'm Sean.
I'm Paul and I'm Jeff.
And we have a boatload of topics to to work on.
We've got a couple of bourbons picked out for the first and second half.
What are the topics you want to shoot?
You want to talk about the Olympics and the closing ceremony?
Let's wrap that up because we've talked about it.
Well, it's been going on for two weeks, right?
It's been going on too long, quite honestly.
Well, it's 14 days is the competition, right?
So you have the ceremonies when you watch it every night.
It blows up your normal routine, right?
Does like you're supposed to watch your regular shows.
I mean, I don't know about you guys.
We watch six hours on Netflix every night.
So you know, that that puts a dent in that when you're watching Olympics.
Anyway, but yeah, so we had to say you're up to like two in the morning.
I work every night.
No, no, definitely not.
But so they had the closing ceremonies.
I really didn't watch it.
I heard that I heard that Tom Cruise fell out of an airplane.
I watched. No, I saw some highlights of it.
And yes, Tom Cruise, not an airplane.
He was basically up in the rafters and he had a little the top of the stadium.
Yeah, he had a little little cable and jumped down with his heel.
Yeah, I'm not sure what the hell that was going on.
Those are like a little bag or a satchel that was hanging on.
And he was kind of like yanking at it, like frantically, like something was wrong.
And what do you really I mean, I think it was slowing him down.
Well, maybe that's where it's going to be.
But did you look like he was in a panic?
No, no, no, no, that's not true.
I've watched that in.
I watched it. I didn't look at his face, though.
And he was terrified.
He was screaming like a bitch.
Help me, please.
He's so small and dainty, he would have bounced anyway.
So you would never do.
He does all of his own stunts.
Obviously, I'm not saying he's not a man.
I'm just saying he's small and dainty.
I would say dainty is he's short.
He's five seven, I believe.
Yeah, five seven. I take bigger shits than that.
Oh, whatever. There's nothing wrong with five.
Your butthole is really small.
Well, it's it's pencils.
Yeah, it's actually.
Mr. Producer, we're going to be able to pull that up.
I don't think the circumference of your rectum has any bearing to your height, does it?
Circumference or the diameter?
That'd be a question that we could ask Brandon.
He's taken. I mean, because he could be like a flat up long poop.
You know, it comes out like a sheet of a paper kind of like a sheet like a
one is going back to geometry.
So if the circumference is a big number, circumference or the diameter is a big
number, both of those are very large distance between one side to the other.
Yeah. And the circumference is the distance around the circle.
Right. And if it's a big number around the circle, then it's also big.
Well, true. But then that'd be a big rectum.
You would have a piece of poop coming out that shape like a beaver's tail.
It's flat and curved.
And we're assuming round.
People not have round this is the first half, right?
Cylindrical, cylindrical Tom Cruise suspending from the time on that.
All right. So I just kind of want to watch it because look, that's the six minute
version, but we'll really just kind of show him right there.
I'm all cocky standing on the edge, not afraid at all.
Tom, he just jumped off.
All right. So he's got that. Yes, he's got that.
So he sees he's kind of, you know, he just jumped off.
And I'm not really sure what that little box is.
But look at the look on his face because he's kind of like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's a break.
It's a break, I think.
And then you have some.
And who's the the chick in the white dress playing the guitar?
It's quite the key tar that she's kind of a female version of Lenny Kravitz.
Her name is her.
She's killing it. Oh, come on.
Do we have any sound on that?
She's blues is kind of a rhythm and blues type of.
Oh, he's shaking hands with all the athletes.
Look at Tom Cruise.
Why is he limping?
Yeah. Oh, somebody just kissed him.
Oh, look at that.
It's the little kiss that we just stuck their tongue down his throat.
A little loud.
All right. Well, look, look, the Olympics is over.
I got to be as I didn't watch hardly any of the Olympics.
The only thing I saw were a few highlights.
And I got to tell you, the biggest turn off for me was the opening ceremony.
I was one and done. Yeah.
You never you never got past the opening ceremony.
I didn't because there were a lot of Americans that were that way.
I never I never first.
I don't really watch the Olympics.
And it was there some like I watched some of the winter stuff, but I'm not.
I watch every year. We watch them as a family.
Yeah. Well, winter is in summer split up right now.
So but well, yeah, but me and my wife would still watch it.
The point is, yeah, we did, too, is that I.
I wanted to watch it, but I am not going.
Pardon. Did you ever watch it?
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
We watched every as a family as a kid growing up.
We watch it.
It was kind of special, but it's not special anymore.
To me, it's just propaganda.
And I feel bad for the athletes, but, you know, look,
they're getting their medals and they're moving on.
And to me, that's what the focus of the Olympics are, though.
I don't know. It's what it should.
I'm not going to get caught up in the bullshit of the people
trying to upstage the last organizer of the city.
The Olympics is going to be based in Los Angeles.
And that is like fucking woke central.
That's like central for the ghostbusters.
Man, I don't know, man. I mean, yeah, I I'm curious.
I'm curious to see what happens.
They saw the pushback that France got.
Are they rethinking now? They're not.
They don't give a shit.
They're going to do what they want to do.
And they're just going to.
I don't know. I don't know.
We'll see. Well, I'll hold.
It's not a lesson there.
I'll hold out judgment until I see me to.
But I'll still watch the athletes.
I won't. I think they're all pieces of shit.
I love the athletes.
So now hats off to the athletes.
God bless you.
Now work your ass off and so seriously, they do work their ass off.
Yeah. And it's kind of sad.
Some of the stuff that, you know, they get there and, you know, these rules.
There's I don't know what to do.
There's someone that won a bronze medal.
And I don't know what it was.
Was that what it was? The gymnastics?
Yeah, we watched. They took it away from her.
No, they took it away from the original bronze medalist
and gave it to her because they disputed something.
Yes, around it.
So they took it away from the original bronze medalist was from Romania, I think.
Yes. And gave it to the American.
And then a few days later,
they went back and looked at the dispute and says, well,
you have one minute to dispute and you are late.
And they said and they showed video proof that they weren't the American team.
Well, I don't know. Yeah.
So now it's ugly. The whole thing's gotten ugly. Right.
So I don't know what you do.
Do you do you give the medal back?
Or so look, you know what I would do if I didn't win it fair and square?
I'd give it back. You know what I would do?
I would give them both the bronze.
Because you know what? This is they're both athletes.
They're both warriors.
And you know what? It's it's a spirit of it.
This isn't a participation award.
You know, it's not it's it's just a gesture.
You know what? You guys are really fucking close.
And it's argumentative.
So we're just going to do both.
What should have happened, quite honestly, what should have happened
is they should have just denied the initial request.
Correct. So the the American team just went.
They made an inquiry.
And apparently this is not abnormal, but they felt like there was something
in the Americans routine that they did not that they didn't see.
It was a little pirouette.
Yes, they didn't see it and they didn't judge on it.
And they should have given her more points.
And so they looked at it and they agreed.
So it wasn't it wasn't bullshit that she didn't deserve it.
Right. But what you ended up doing was having this girl jumping around,
being crazy excited that she won the bronze.
And then then she told, oh, no, sorry, we're giving it to the American.
Well, I think what.
But on the flip side, I'll say one more thing.
The Romanian team, they fucked up because she had a low score
and they should have done the same damn thing.
And that's on her team.
Well, you have that up.
You have one minute to protest.
Right. And they should have protested.
And they were there beyond the one minute.
Well, correct.
No, the Romanian team should have once advocated for their own.
Correct. So what I read is they were they the American team was four seconds over.
Is the American team disputing that?
Yeah, they said they have video proof that they that they have.
We've seen that got it within time.
I haven't seen anything. So I don't.
So I don't know. I don't.
The whole thing sucks.
I don't care. You have two young women that are both unhappy.
Well, from what I understand is the American was said something like,
is she all black, scissored out, all person of color.
Metals really, really.
That's your solution, John.
So she's promoting that.
Are you sure I didn't see anything about that?
That's what I read the headline.
She she made she pulled the race card.
She said it's an all all women of color medals.
Oh, oh, she was celebrating the three people that want to stay.
Oh, I don't like that.
We shouldn't. There's no it doesn't matter what color you are.
No, you're you're an you're an Olympic athlete.
Yeah, you're good or you're not.
But one thing that was interesting is that I tell you what,
in the basketball and the men and women's basketball, I know
that everybody knows they're going to win.
They know they're going to get to the gold medal round.
And I don't care. They had to work for it.
And this was a sucks.
I would have been OK if they lose in that horrible.
That's like anti-American to say that.
I was struggling with the women's soccer, too.
I mean, they show a highlight.
I told you I was like, I want America to win.
But I was struggling with this team right here.
So I'm just glad that this team is different than years past.
Like when they had Megan Rapinoe or with the purple hair, she was just as bad.
Are they? Well, they weren't kneeling for the for the flag.
They weren't kneeling, but they're still bitching and moaning about.
Are you sure? Yes, I've heard.
Damn it. I was hoping they would pass that shit, man.
It's so un-American.
Give it another.
So get away from Megan Rapinoe and some of these other girls.
And they get such a plot.
And they'll be good again.
I think so. You'll weed that bullshit out.
Yeah, they're toxic.
Yeah. Did the women's soccer win?
They did. I think they did.
They had to make some miraculous late goal.
Well, this is what I this is what's coming up.
So the NBA struggled, struggled.
They didn't struggle.
Whatever they were, they were challenged to get to the gold.
Round, they struggled against Serbia, I think. Right.
And you said the women struggled a bit.
Well, what's happening? No, no, no, they never struggled.
They almost they won by one point in the gold medal round.
But go ahead. Well, what I'm thinking is and the women's soccer
and this is what happened in the women's World Cup last time is the world is
catching up in all in some of these sports that were traditionally.
Now, soccer is not traditionally American, but the women's soccer has dominated.
But the rest of the world has caught up to them.
Yeah. And they they lost the World Cup
a few years ago because I think they thought they were just.
They got more Americans and they got shocked early.
Apparently. Yeah. And I think, you know, the European
League basketball, getting better and better.
The Sudanese challenged the NBA in the exhibition game. Yes.
You know, but one thing I don't know if we talked about it last week
when we talked about the Olympics, but, you know, the whole, you know,
you find out that all the players on the other country's teams
are kind of American. They're in the NBA.
Yeah. Well, yeah.
No, I mean, they went to American colleges.
They train in America. They live in America.
Hell, just hell, the pole vaulter who won gold was born and raised in Louisiana.
Correct. So it's almost like, I mean, I don't.
I don't know. I don't know how I feel about that.
I think if you're an American citizen, do they have dual citizenship?
I don't know. So they have dual citizenship, then that's all fair.
But, you know, they're just doing it because that's where their dad was born.
And I think I disagree with that. So our grandfather, it's to me,
it's where you were born.
But let's let's think about this.
Let's say my dad is a military soldier and I we go to live in Germany
and I'm born in Germany.
Does that make me a German sponsor for the Olympics?
That's a good point.
And then also I'll say, I mean, when people, I mean, even though we're
the melting pot of the world, right.
So people come over here and they hold on to their heritage
and they're proud of their heritage, right.
For being third generation German, fourth generation German, whatever.
And they and some families, they they hold on to that.
They hold on to the heritage and they're extremely proud of it.
And I'm cool with that.
So then you think, OK, well, they hold on to your German nationalistic.
Heritage. Right.
I mean, I think it's OK to to your Germanic though.
To your Germanic, the horde.
You're making that sound horrible.
Let me let me go with Hungary.
No, but you see my point.
I mean, and then you have a young athlete who who is proud of their heritage
and proud of their parents and grandparents.
Just look at this face.
That's why we don't have video.
He's like, oh, you think you're OK with a whore?
I think I like a vein that just popped out of his forehead.
Anyway, I guess it doesn't matter.
It just kind of bothers me.
And they're like, oh, they competed for LSU
last year and blah, blah, blah.
It's like, wait a second.
Anyway, yeah.
I mean, what you're looking for is you're looking for people that live
in those countries, you know, kind of.
I grew up in Sweden, but you know, like tennis, whatever.
And just whatever. I mean, if you're from that country, you you you
you represent that country.
What company do you represent or country?
If you fucking move back then, you know, don't come back to Louisiana.
You know, fuck off.
I also think and ask some else.
I also would like to see a time where the professionals
are no longer allowed to play.
Yeah, that's that's the other thing about the men's team.
I thought NBA's Hall of Famers.
It's like it's just that as they do.
You say to keep the professionals out.
Yeah, it used to be only amateur.
Yeah, I agree. I agree with that.
I think I think so, too.
And it makes me sick that the one time
I mean, the college basketball players won like 80 years in a row
or something crazy like that.
And the first time they lose the gold medal round to Russia,
they allow the pros to get in.
That's when the dream team and it was I'm not going to lie.
It was kind of cool seeing that dream team together like that would never happen.
And let's let's look at this from a business standpoint.
If you are an owner of an NBA team
and you have your your one of your star players
go to the Olympics and they get hurt.
Now it's a liability.
Yeah, I'm probably not.
Yeah, not OK with I bet you they're not OK with them
playing in the Olympics.
I mean, I wouldn't be.
I wonder if they sign something that says if you play in the Olympics, you're
get hurt. Your contract could be Nolan Boyd.
Well, I mean, these are all Hall of Famers.
They're not going to do that to any of them.
I don't think they're all Hall of Fame.
Well, I mean, it doesn't matter.
You know, they're all superstars.
My point is, is that, you know, I think that once you become a professional,
then it kind of takes away from the spirit of like LeBron.
He's a billionaire. Why is he over there playing? Right.
Well, I mean, because he's a broad.
Well, I know, I know, I'm not a fan.
All these guys make it 40, 50 million dollars a year.
And then you have the guy over here playing badminton, not making any money.
But I get it. Well, because it's not about money.
It's being about the best athlete for that sport.
But I agree with you.
If you play that sport and you make money doing it,
you should not be in the Olympics. Correct.
That applies in any sport.
Well, that applies to soccer, basketball, hockey.
What else? Cricket.
And evidently breakdancing. Oh, did you see they got breakdancing
in the Olympics? That is so stupid.
And there was some major, major chatter about that.
Well, it's because the chick from Australia.
What happened? I never saw some of the stuff they were doing.
Now, I saw some video of these breakdancers.
Look, I'm not a fan of it, but I will tell you,
those people have incredible core strength to do some of the show.
Oh, yeah. They should move into gymnastics.
Yeah. OK. Agreed.
So they're saying they may not do it again.
But why shouldn't? Because this lady.
Well, what happened? She got no score.
Well, she was terrible. For one thing, she was 36 year old
professor from somewhere studying and she was wallowing on her head.
Human body movement or something like that.
OK. And she went there.
She goes, I know I can't do what they want to do,
but I wanted to do this interpretive thing and show them a different style.
And she ruined it for everyone.
She looked like me out there.
She looked like a tar just just wallowing around on the ground.
Yeah, she was just bending around.
You can do your neck thing.
I just got to do that for like three minutes.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
But three minutes to the beat and then and then and then maybe
and then maybe put your arms up and down.
You know, I don't know.
Hey, I'd give you a score.
It was I think it brought
the silliness of that quote.
It was mockery. There's mockery.
Well, she was a mocky that I know, but it came across that way.
Everybody else mocked it.
It was terrible. Yeah.
And it was a it was a big hit.
And the thing is, for she got there because she won their trials.
She was the best that Australia had.
Now, did she change it up when she got there?
No. Or was she good?
OK, so they say, sir, can you can you pull up some of the video?
I'm not seeing any of Australia's break dancer.
But yeah, I mean, they must suck in Australia.
I don't know. But that's not possible.
I don't know.
Well, I mean, there were some that were were really good.
I mean, yeah, it's kind of that's I can't believe that they can actually do that stuff.
It's a break dancing right there.
Yeah. So something went horribly wrong.
I'm not sure what embarrassing. OK, here we go.
So the Ray guns ruins fantastic.
I'll see effort. So you have some of those people out there like right there.
All right. Here we go. All right.
Show this abysmal effort here.
Are they going to show it or they're just going to show her?
Oh, they're not going to show it.
Come on. Why do they do shit like that?
Find one that they're actually going to show.
I don't know. I don't want to embarrass her.
You know, it's too late. She embarrassed herself way too late.
I'll tell you. I'll tell you why we're waiting for this.
I mean, other things that we're doing at night when we're watching the Olympics
and other stuff, you know, you watch you mentioned that you watch six hours of Netflix.
Kidding, but it's probably three.
Well, I mean, part of the Netflix scene.
Here she is. Here she is. Here we go.
Yeah, there she goes.
She's doing some stuff I can't do.
Well, that's what I mean. I mean, I can't.
She's like a six inch vertical leap there.
But then she gets on the ground and just like kind of bends back and forth like a.
I don't know what she's doing.
No, they literally gave her no point.
I want to see what she's on the ground.
What she's like, she touches.
She like bends into a you and then back like touches her feet.
It's like, oh, she's on the ground.
She's like, oh, she's on her feet.
It's so silly looking as they're not going to show it.
I wonder if they did she do that during the trials in Australia?
Because there's no way they would let her through.
I don't know.
Oh, that's embarrassing.
That's too bad.
Well, look, so you were talking about the doing the Netflix thing.
Have you guys seen the Netflix,
the the the new Ghostbusters that was put on Netflix?
No. Yes.
I was at the all girl version.
No, it's the frozen.
No, it's not.
Did you say frozen?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. So there was the Ghostbusters, the Frozen Empire.
I was watching that.
You know, I was kind of like, hey, we'll see what happens.
I don't know.
Is that Paul Rudd or Paul Rudd was in there?
Okay.
Of course, the classic one and you know, Bill Murray's in it, right?
Yeah, Bill Murray.
It was straight to Netflix.
I guess.
No, it did not.
It was in the theater.
I was in the theater.
Well, I mean, this came out in two thousand twenty four.
So it went pretty quick.
It was quick.
But yeah, I was at the theaters.
Oh, wow.
So what's the I am?
Hold on.
This is how fast it went to the movie theaters.
The release date was March 22nd.
Correct.
All right.
Am so it went pretty freaking quick.
Well, Twisters is now streaming.
Now, so that just came out.
Heard that's good, too.
Well, I think what they what they do is they get their money
and then they their Don.
So they did the box office.
They generated two hundred one point nine million dollars.
It's not like before where maybe would be out for six months.
Yeah.
And then they move on and then it would go away.
Then it would come out on VHS or eventually DVD.
They make a shit ton of other movie.
And then ultimately it end up on HBO or I wouldn't mind watching.
They had some of the original cast.
You know, they had William Murray, Dan Aykroyd,
that Emmy Hudson, the black dude that was the what's that doing?
Oh, Ernie Hudson.
Ernie Hudson.
I'm sorry.
And then there's a William Atherton.
William Atherton was the asshole mayor.
Oh, yeah.
That was one of the officials is I'm going to shut you down.
He plays a good asshole.
Yeah, he always played a good.
So we got a six point one on IMDB.
That's not dismal.
That's actually for a movie like that.
Pretty good. Right.
Yeah, it was look, it was it was cheesy.
It was a kids movie.
But the thing about it is that I was watching.
I was looking at Bill Murray.
I was looking at Dan Aykroyd and I was thinking, man,
I remember when those guys were younger and they were doing their their skits
with SNL and that was someone to me.
That was some of the classic stuff that that I enjoyed.
It's like the very first SNL shit way back in the late 70s.
We're talking Blues Brothers.
Yeah, those Blues Brothers Brothers and you had Eddie Murphy.
You know, that was probably towards the 80s.
Then you had the Dana Carey.
Yeah.
With the Wains World with Mike Meyer.
Is that his name? Mike Meyer?
Yeah, he did.
What was the British guy with the Austin Powers?
Yeah, that so yeah, I haven't watched Silent Live in.
Probably 20 years. Bring up some of the the old SNL stuff.
For one, you got William Farrell back, you know, John Belushi.
There's let's see, Dan Aykroyd, there's a Kristen Wigg.
She's a little bit older.
You know, Chris Farley.
Let's not forget the Bill Hader.
So what were some of the recurring like you talked about Chevy Chase.
Remember the pump them up Hanson.
I'm pumped you up.
So yeah, not necessarily the one and done skits, although there's
some really good ones, but what were the recurring ones that every
time they did it, it was like a hit.
Oh, Eddie Murphy.
Here's one. He was doing that.
He do this.
Oh, yeah.
Hot tub.
I sit my foot in it.
Oh, hot, hot tub.
He's got it.
Let's play a little bit of that.
He's funny, man.
Welcome to Ms.
Mojo.
Damn, they just fucking.
Why can't we ever?
Number 10, Wayne's World.
Oh, this is a countdown.
Okay.
I mean, that is one of them.
But that was one that was the recurring one for sure.
Wayne Campbell with me as always is Gers.
Party on Wayne.
They had a couple of movies too.
Yes.
These guys are like losers in the basement, right?
It must be a precursor of Beavis the Butthead.
Yes, it was.
I wonder if he got his inspiration off of Wayne's World.
I bet you he did.
Okay, Gers.
You don't have to do that every time.
Oh, good. I was starting to hyperventilate.
There were a few.
Then this was called
Live from New York.
It's Saturday night.
I got to tell you that just to stay, you know, they got Gumbi with
any more for that, but just to hear that every single week,
I used to watch Saturday Night Live every week.
It was something I looked forward to because it was fun.
And then it just turned ugly with all the stupid politics.
It got political.
Well, then it eventually got political.
Well, they've always had fun of political.
But it wasn't ugly.
Yeah, it was funny.
They don't take a side.
They just make fun of the politicians.
Of the time.
Yes.
And now?
And now they get political.
They dog one side or the other.
Correct. No, it's one side.
Yeah, anybody who played Gumbi was funny as hell.
You know, then they had one of them dressed up as who did Mr.
Rogers.
It was Phil Hartman, wasn't it?
Was it?
Yeah, Phil Hartman was another one.
They have a lot of tragedies that occurred.
Phil Hartman.
Yeah, he killed himself.
Or did he kill himself or his wife kill him?
Do we know?
I don't know.
Oh, Phil Hartman?
Yes.
I thought he had a heart attack, no?
I thought his wife killed him.
Well, they all did tons of cocaine.
You know, there's Adam Sandler.
I don't remember.
I was never a huge fan of Adam Sandler.
And they had like the coneheads.
Remember the coneheads?
Some of his jinkers are great.
There's the females.
There's Rachel Dratch, which she's got a current commercial
on right now.
There you go.
The coneheads.
The movie was good, too.
Oh, they had a movie?
Oh, yeah.
I didn't know that.
They had a movie.
David Spade.
Then you had Chris Farley doing the man down by the river.
In a van!
What are you going to do?
You're going to live in a van down by the river.
He's like adjusting his pants.
Yes.
Oh, the one with Patrick Swayze when they did the Chip and Dale.
Dude.
And you know, every single time, Chris Farley
was totally over the top, totally over the top.
He embraced his fatness.
Oh, my god.
He knew what he was.
And he's like, I don't give a fuck.
He was so over the top.
That's what made it so funny.
And then everybody around him would start laughing.
Who's this lady?
Baba Wawa.
Barbara Walters.
Yeah, well, she's playing her.
But who was the actress?
I forget.
She was great.
She was married to the guy in Stir Crazy.
Gilda Radner.
Yes.
Is that her name?
Something like that.
John Belushi, man.
Gilda Radner.
There you go.
It's Gilda Radner.
You're right.
Yes.
She died young, too.
She got cancer.
Well, the whole SNL kit was those guys were all just
hopped up on Coke.
Right.
I'm sure they were.
It was a sign of the times, for sure.
It's too bad we got to listen to the stuff there.
I know, the British lady here.
Let's assist the church lady.
That was Dana Carvey with her.
Every SNL person hopes for a bright girl.
All right, we can kill the audio on that.
Well, you know what?
I kind of wanted to dive into that.
It's too bad.
You know, this is why we should have a little pre.
We actually sent some links up, and we get like the...
Well, that's why...
Because I want to do like, I'm here to pump you up.
I'm Hans, and I'm Franz, you know?
Right.
No, I get it.
That's why people who get paid for this actually have teams
that put this shit together.
You're talking about podcasts?
Yes.
So I mean, when our loyal, awesome listeners start taking
off...
Eddie Murphy does a version of Mr. Rogers.
Mr. Robinson.
Yeah, Mr. Robinson.
Well, he also...
He's the Mr. Rogers in the hood.
Yeah, he also...
Oh, yeah, that's right.
He's a criminal.
But he also does the one, the song.
Remember?
He has his album.
Party all the time, party all the time.
No, no, Butt Wheat.
Butt Wheat.
Remember he had an album that...
From the Lil Rascals Butt Wheat?
No.
Eddie Murphy had...
Oh, yeah.
He had the...
Oh, come on.
No, I mean, I don't remember the song though.
Yeah, remember he had...
It was a whole album of crazy songs.
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
Remember Wookenpunub?
Wookenpunub.
Oh, yeah.
That's what I'm talking about.
It was great.
I've always wanted to live in a house like yours, my friend.
Maybe when there's nobody home, I'll break in.
It feels real good to walk through the streets again after being in jail doing seven to ten.
You know, one of the funniest words I saw, and it's hard to find a video of it, is called
Head Wound Harry.
Yeah, you mentioned that before.
I found no pleasure in watching any of that.
It was so funny, I thought, because...
You can pause that.
It went sideways, because I think it had Dana Carey in it and Phil Hartman.
It was during that time.
And they were having a party, and this guy walks in and he has this massive head wound.
Bloody, just...
Bandages, bleeding through the bandages?
Yeah, no, he didn't have any bandages on.
It was just big, his hair was all screwed up, bloody.
And he goes, I'm not feeling well.
He lays down.
And the family dog comes out.
Oh, here it is, massive head wound Harry.
I can't believe we've actually looked at this, but we can't find it.
Yeah, we did.
Turn it up a little bit.
I don't think I remember this one.
Oh, that's Terminator.
That's Terminator.
Terminator Girl.
Yeah.
I forgot her name.
Hey, great party.
Gross.
I'm sorry I'm late, I forgot where you lived.
Oh my God!
That's okay, Harry.
I feel dizzy.
Well, what's funny, I think, is when the dog comes out.
Would you like to lay down, maybe, in the garage?
That's Linda Hamilton, right?
I just need some food to get my strength back.
I lost a little blood on the way over here.
Oh, you've got to try some of these shrimp, friend.
Yes.
Oh, I'm sorry, let me help you with that.
I better go see if he's all right.
No, no, no, you stay here.
So anyway, the dog.
How'd that go sideways?
Well, the dog eventually comes out.
It starts eating his head.
It starts licking it, and they put something on it to get the dog to eat it.
And he starts ripping the prosthetic off because he wants to eat it.
And David's trying to hold it on.
And so everybody's laughing.
Yeah, trying to go.
See, that's my favorite thing about F&L skits is when everybody starts losing their shit.
Like the cowbell one.
Oh, the cowbell.
And Jimmy Fallon starts losing his shit because.
Yeah, the only person I don't like is Jimmy Fallon.
I like him because, oh, here it is.
The dog.
Look at him, he's laughing.
Did Carpenter.
He's smiling.
Oh, my God.
So there's a golden retriever that came out of the set.
It was a great, great, great, great guy.
And I think he's a great person.
And he's a great guy.
And I think he's a great guy.
And then he's a great guy.
And he was looking at the other.
He was looking and now chewed off a chunk of.
Look at Chris Farley.
Anyway, I think that's hilarious.
I think what would skits.
Something like that happens.
And they can't hold it anymore.
Right.
It doesn't go as planned.
Oh, that's my favorite.
When when they lose their shit.
Anyway.
Except for Jimmy Fallon.
I don't like him.
But it still makes it funny. Yeah, I tell you I just Jimmy Fallon is just a piece of as a human being
I was it because of his talk show. Yeah, yeah because he just he's a piece. Yeah
Try not to inject that though because he is a funny comedian. He is
Yeah, well, he's got some smart things that he does on his show
at least he used to I haven't seen any a while like he used to do the
Like the latest hit song he would get his band that the roots that play for him, right?
And they ought to get children's instruments
That's like the infant kind, you know like the little xylophones right and they would try to play this on a kazoo
And I like spoons and everything so there's like ten people and they're playing this stuff and you get the actual artists singing it
And some of her pretty good
It's unique. Yes, it is unique and it's actually good. It is entertaining but yet I still can't I can't let it go because he's such a
He has so much influence on people when he says stuff and I think it's
Irresponsible. I know to say the type of stuff they say and that includes the others of people like Robert De Niro
Yeah, well Robert De Niro what a putz, you know, but Colbert Maya Rudolph, you know who she is
She's like part of the original. Yeah, she's in in
Theocracy she's great. Right. Yeah, she's are you saying? Are you saying she's woke? Yes, annoyingly woke
Yes, I mean, I mean I enjoy the shit out of her. I enjoy but look I like them all they're all very talented
And it saddens me to say this but it it takes away from my experience watching them because that's kind of like man
It's hard. You're not alone. John. You know, you're not alone
There's a lot of people that like they just can't like me. I can't watch Robert De Niro now. I can't watch him
Yeah, it makes me nauseous
Because he's such a fucking just douchebag. He's just an old bitter man
Yeah, I mean and if I was ever softening on that when he was outside of the courthouse in New York
He looked like a fool. He looked like a fool and it made me realize dude
He just he doesn't even have the ability to know when to say when
I mean, you know, I mean, yeah, yeah, it's unfortunate. It is unfortunate because like you said
I mean these these are the actors and comedians and singers that we grew up watching
You know or listening to and it's yeah, it's it sucks. I hate to I hate to go
I will tell you one of the the one of my favorite
SNL characters right or person actors is Kate McKinnon. She talented. Yeah, she's funny. I think she's great
She shuts her mouth. I haven't heard her say a whole lot of stuff. I'm sure she had but I mean I haven't heard her
Right. She plays all coming because she's played Hillary Clinton. I mean, they're funny. I mean you've got Tina Fey
And some of her when she was dressed up like Sarah Palin
Yeah, no, but she said some shit about it and it made me go, you know not like Tina Fey, right?
I was like, why can't you just play her and have that be funny, right?
But you don't have to at when the cameras are not rolling or you know when the the filming is over with
She dogs Sarah Palin. I was like
What the hell man, just be a comedian and enjoy the moment and be funny
You don't have to like alienate the people who like the people you're impersonating. That's why I don't watch
Life today. I know I don't either I don't either because I see some sketches that you know that they're like this is gonna watch it
I was like this is bad, right?
Well the from the SNL straight to the movie theater like they have
Combos like Chris Farley and David Spade
They have do they have folks from SNL making movies today like they did no
No, not like they did because they like that was Tommy Bori and Tommy boy black sheep
But then you had like spies like us with
She made several movies. Yeah, she was also in a TV show 30 Rock
Yeah, she was six out of five or six years. I think yeah, they're watched it. There's a bunch out there
She did a lot of things
I think she directed and produced and acted and she's very I don't take away from her talent
She's really connected. She just needs you just need to keep your mouth shut man
Why is it why is that so hard for them just a lot of actors do it?
They just keep the mouth shut right and they are they're fine, right? I know you know, just keep your mouth shut. I know
So they've the coneheads is one but you've got McGrouber you got Wayne's World
You know, it's done with SNL by the time it Gruber came around. I don't even I've never even heard of it
How about how about superstar? You know the girl that oh, yeah, she was smell our armpits smell her armpits
The actor's name is funny. God bless that. She's super. I think she's beautiful Kristen wig. Oh, yeah. Oh, she is pretty
She is pretty
What about Pat? Yeah, Pat
God the that would be a pro not as a rock story. It would totally be that's a transsexual right or no
No, that's the whole thing. You're a sexual right? You just don't know it's Pat
So they got blue that was the whole point of the skit
It was like they're trying to figure out if it boy or girl, right?
And they should always be or he would always be elusive
Yes, how about that? I'm an answer about the the the guy that did the the black guy that does ladies man
All right, that one. Here's a skit on Pat right here. What's it?
Roll the audio on this is to see if this is funny at all
Or ma'am
Thank you
God
A lot of people say what's that? It's Pat
A lot of people ask who's he or she
I wonder if this would be allowed
This would not go now. This would not be acceptable now. No, it would upset the trans- transgender
I think it would
Here comes the guy that does the skit
He's got a little moose knuckle on there. You're like, what is it?
Yeah, that's the chick from Beetlejuice and from Schitt's Creek
And Home Alone
Who plays Pat?
I have no idea. I have no idea. I don't know who plays it. It's a chick
For anything?
Ma'am?
For music perhaps? I won't be needing any mambo music today
I need some disposable change
It takes a little while to develop these skits
For one thing, the actual person is just a freak
The way she's acting
Totally a freak
Jeleck double edged brawny
Anyway, they just did the whole thing and they're trying to figure out what gender
Which is less expensive
Jeleck, fine
Good, good, good
Wait a minute, I haven't completed my purses
You tell us she's got like Asperger's disease or Asperger's syndrome
Who knows what's going on with that
I think this would get shot down today
It totally would. I don't think they would even get to that point
Well, you know what, the Saturday Live is something I grew up with
It was really popular back then
But why can't they clue into the fact that it's not now?
And why isn't it now?
They're like, fuck it, we have 30% of the country, let's just keep rolling with it
Is that what they're thinking?
Oh shit, 30%, they're nowhere near that rating
I bet you their ratings are low
I'm just saying they have 30% of support, meaning that's really all the Democrats that they have
Because it's 70-30 for sure
I know, but you hear what I'm saying though
If they can't recognize that people aren't watching anymore and maybe they should just kind of focus on entertainment
Well, the guy who created it may not give a shit
He may just be like, I've made my 100 million
He's like, I want to milk this and get our message out
Maybe
As long as they let me
Hey, let's change gears here and kind of pull up this ol' whiskey that we're drinking right now
I don't even know, I forgot the name of it
It's Bowman Brothers
Bowman Brothers, the Virginia straight bourbon whiskey, small batch
John J. Abraham, Joseph, and Isaac Bowman were Virginia militia officers in the American Revolutionary War
This handcrafted bourbon whiskey is a tribute to their heroism
Our Bowman Brothers small batch bourbon is still three times using the finest corn rye and malted barley
Producing distinct hints of vanilla spice and oak
The thing with this is they source their juice from buffalo trays
And then they do?
So it's ancient age?
No, it's the Blanton's
It is the same juice that they make Blanton's out of
And then they take it and do their own stuff with it
And they don't blend it, but they...
Well, I don't know, they have different, this is a small batch
Buffalo trays does a variety, so they get their juice, so are you saying...
Well, they say it's the same juice that they make Blanton's out of
Alright, well, so...
That... it's interesting, I don't know how to respond to that
I'm like, well, so they make different juice for different bourbons?
Yes, they're different mash pills
But I remember telling you guys when I came back from Kentucky
I was shocked to find that there were five different... I think it was Heaven Hill?
Or was it Jim Beam? I don't remember now, I think it was Heaven Hill
Heaven Hill had five different brands
All five of them were the exact same...
That was Jim Beam
The exact same stuff coming off the still
Right
And then where they aged it in the Rick House decided which bottle brand it went into
Correct
Which is shocking, which means there was that much of a difference
Well, just like the mash pill that they make Pappy's out of is the same one that ancient age is
Right
Same mash pill
But it's aged in...
It's aged differently
Differently in different barrels in a different place
Different areas
It's crazy, right?
Yep, it is
I just couldn't believe what I was hearing, I was like, literally, you're saying all that
And I even asked them, I go, so when it's going into the barrels, how do you know what you want it to be at the end?
Do you decide in the beginning, this is going to be this bottle of brand or this brand or this different label?
And they kind of didn't say that that was the case
I think it's probably an educated guess that says in this area we get this bottle
So let's put it up there and we should get that bottle
Right
If it's down here, we should get this bottle, so we're going to make this many barrels of this
Insane
But we may get something else at the same time
Yeah, it was really fascinating
And we got a little bit of that when we went to Iron Root, remember?
We talked about where they put it in the Rick House, and they have just a little one
But where it goes in the Rick House makes a huge difference in what it ends up being
Correct
It's from the exterior or the perimeter of the building versus the interior
Versus bottom or top
If they want to protect it, they'll put it in the middle so it doesn't get as hot
Angel Cherish
Yeah, that in the amount of absorption, if it's on the perimeter it absorbs more because I guess it's hotter
It's forced into the wood
And if they wanted to age longer without a strong oak pole, they put it in the center
Right, where it's most temperate
It is interesting
And something about Iron Root that they mention is that they taste theirs frequently
I don't know how often
I think after a certain age they start tasting it monthly, they said
Yeah, that's exactly right
So that was kind of interesting, I never heard that
And I've never heard of another distiller that does that
Right, it sounds like they're alcoholics
So what do we think about this?
Talk about Bowman Brothers
I mean, it's 90 proof
Yeah, it's extremely, look, it doesn't
I think the nose has a lot of sweetness on it
It's good
A lot of sweetness
It's sweet, it's easy to drink, it's super easy to drink
I could literally fucking drink this
Yeah, super easy
But it doesn't have any long lasting notes
It's like once you're done, you're done
It's not super rich
Yeah, the finish ends pretty quick
Yeah, it's not super rich
And again, I think we, guys, I think we've had enough bourbons now to know that
We're not going to get that kind of experience from a lower proof bourbon
No, like Paul, it doesn't last very long
No, but it is pleasing to drink
And I'm pleasing to drink
So
So but it is pleasing to drink
Like I could sit there and you could sip on this
Oh yeah, for sure
You know, you just pour yourself a couple fingers in a low ball and just sip on it all night
Yep
I would need a carafe of this
Well, if you're getting drunk
Yeah
No, if you just want to enjoy some bourbon
I'll tell you what, this would be really easy to get drunk on
Oh yeah, it'd be like
Because you would drink a lot in a short time period
Yeah
And that's not like drinking beer
No
I mean, you're getting blown up quick
Yes
It tastes good
It tastes good, I got like a little
Actually, I taste licorice, I taste raisins, a little stone fruit
I'm not being sarcastic
I taste all that
Yeah, that's a lot
I mean, it's just, it's not
We look for depth of richness
No, no, no, we're not looking for that
We are getting used to really deep, rich, really flavorful taste
I think so
It's not to say that there aren't nice, you know, wonderful flavor
It just seems really light
Yeah, again, I think it's
It's dainty
It's very quick
And the biggest thing I pick up on it is the sweetness
Especially when you're done and you, on the lips
I tell you what
Ooh
So don't do that again, that was horrible
But we play that, Mr. Pettit
There's a lot of our friends out there
Shout out to Larry, he's probably one of them
That they, some of these folks out there don't really like a super strong one
So 90 proof is probably excellent and perfect for them
I would recommend this
So if 90 proof is what you like
It's great
Then this one is good for you
It's the Bowman Brothers Pioneer Spirit
This one particular one is the Virginia Straight Bourbon Whiskey Small Batch
It's a product of Virginia and it's 45% alcohol, 90 proof
I think it was around 40, 45 bucks
You know, I know we've hinted at having, or maybe we should do this before
But, you know, because it's hard to rank plus 100 proof ones
Or plus 110 plus proofs
With, you know, less than, you know, 100 or less
Like, if I put this up against a really good 117 proof
This one's gonna lose
But if I put this up against other 90 proof bourbons
This one's pretty damn good
I think that's what you need to do
You need to do the, I don't even know if it's 100 down and 100 up
Or 105 down and 105 up or whatever
Right
We need to talk about that
I think we need to have a, for a low proof this is a 8
Yeah
For, overall I'd give it a 6.5
Perfect
Whatever, you know
Right, or like I said we just rank, you know, categories of proof
Well, I think you're right
For a 90 proof this is extremely good
Very smooth
I'd give this a high
I would give this a very high rating
For a 90 proof
So it sounds like our ranking categories need to change up a little bit
They do
I think they do
Because this can't rate against the nose mill
Yeah
Or anything like that
And it's not meant to do, right?
I mean that's the thing
It's a different animal
Well then we gotta, we gotta, we have to have a sliding scale
So I'm with you
You know, I think 6 is a little low
6.5's a little low
But you know what, I'm finding most of our whiskeys were kind of like
Falling into that
Right, the 7's
Falling into that 7 category
Right
You know, and if I were to rate this as the same as the other ones
Yeah, I would put it in the 6's
But if I'm shopping around for a 90 proof
I would put this up in the upper levels of the 90's
Well, and the interesting thing is
Well, that's what I said
As a 90 proof I'd give it about an 8, 8.5
Right
And we'll find the same on the really high proof stuff
Like we might have something that's 125 proof
And it is better than any of the 90 proofs we've ever had
But in that category
Yeah
It's down in the 6 range
Right
But we never give any of those bourbons a 6
We need to start doing that
Because I don't think it's real accurate sometimes
I agree
Looking back
Because a lot of our shit is right around the 6.5 to 7.5 range
Yep
Here's the thing that sucks
We have to start over
And drink all of those all over again
Damn it
How are we going to deal with that guy?
All those empty bottles out there
We have to buy them again
Yeah, we have to buy them again
Son of a bitch
Maybe we should take an early break to get over this
Let's go start
Actually we need to win the God bless of lottery
We can't afford anymore
Shit
We'll try
We'll definitely try
We went to
We
Now we'll save that for the second podcast
But
Alright, so
I like it
I like this a lot
I'll tell you what
I'll give it a 6, 8
As a 90 proof or just an overall?
You know what?
I'm going to give it an overall 6, 8
Because it's fair
That's a very fair
I agree with that
That's a very fair rating
But if you're into the 90 proofs
This is one of the better ones
It's one of the better ones
I agree with that
Absolutely
I would agree with that too
You know
Before we dive head first into
Tampon Tim or any of that kind of shit
You know
You had mentioned
You made a statement out there
About 150,000 poll watchers
Now
Are those
I thought it was interesting
Yeah
Interesting article
What is that?
What are you talking about?
Yeah, so this popped up on my news feed
It was like
And I can't remember
If that was a particular state
I think it was
I don't think it was overall
Well that'd be 3,000 per state
So are these people that are literally
That's not a lot
Staking out
So I think it was
In a particular swing state
Like Pennsylvania or Georgia
So these are people
That are monitoring the polls
To make sure people don't go up there
And fraudulently just
Oh yeah, well both parties do that
Right?
Both parties submit poll watchers
At each poll site
To just kind of make sure things look okay
Well I think what happened last time
In 2020
Is also at 10 o'clock
They shut it down
They kicked everyone out
All the Republicans out
Correct
Yes
You can't even watch
We have to all get out
And they went back
And started doing their bullshit
And I know there's this huge
You know, debate or stigma
About election denying
And you know, all this kind of stuff
But the reality is
We, everyone
Everyone needs to feel like
The elections that we have
Have integrity
That we can trust what's coming out of it
Correct
And so this is a good thing
This is, I think
I think both parties should
Send as many poll watchers as it takes
Especially in the swing states
So that they can all be watching
And everybody can be comfortable
That there was nothing weird going on
Because I think there were a lot of
Things that popped up that were inappropriate
Well did you see what
So that's why I was encouraged
Well there were chests
There were carrying cases of ballots
That they pulled out from underneath tables
Well they had videos of them
They had videos of them
Well they were unsealed
So they would show up
You know, because they have to be secure
And they're showing up without a
What do you, when you receive a package
There is a manifest or something
It's like a tamper proof
Yeah, but it's
Sticker
You know, well you have a
What is it called?
An exchange of
I forget the terminology
Transcript
No, it's just like
A chain of
A letter of command
A chain of custody or something like that
Oh no, no, that's exactly what it is
Chain of custody
So it's just like
It's coming from this person
This person
They know where it came from
They know who had it
And they don't have a chain of custody on it
And they're like, alright, well where did these come from?
Alright, well we're going to accept them anyways without that
And now we're going to load them in the system
And they all have the same smudge mark in the upper right hand corner
Yeah
Look man
I'm telling you
There was a lot of shit that went on
It's just
So here's what's encouraging
Here's what's encouraging
So everybody's
I think a little more hyper aware
Especially on the Republican side
Because those
That side think they
You know, thinks they got screwed
Right
And so they're
They're
150,000 people have signed up to
I mean, let's be honest
Look at the Venezuelan
Vote that just happened
They showed the same graph
Totally fraud
That happened during the Biden vote
Oh yeah
In terms of time of day
No, it's a scale that
They show the votes coming up
And they're registered
And this is the tally that's going on
All of a sudden
Boom
It goes straight up
For Maduro
Yeah
And I'm like, what the hell
And then they compare it side by side by Biden's
And it does the same
God bless them
And you can't help to think
All right, well, what's up?
Something's weird
Yeah
So what the Democratic Party is doing this time
As a new strategy
Is they're hiring a shit ton of people to
Focus on the overseas people
Oh, like military?
Military, just people stationed over there
Expat
And they're going to focus on
The out of country people
To try to sway it
And you know why?
So we
You know why?
Need to be right there with them
You know why?
Because nobody really knows
How many people are over there
And so they can inflate those numbers like crazy
Well, that's where it's going to come from, I bet
You following me?
Oh, yeah
Are there 3 million people overseas?
Are there 10 million people overseas?
Well, I don't know
Well, just cram as many of those absentee ballots as you can
Right
Unbelievable
And remember, these swing states were decided by
12,000 votes in like one massive county in Arizona
Right
3,000 votes in blah blah
And we're not talking about a lot of votes
So they can mobilize enough
You know, absentee ballots
Did you see what Yonkin did in Virginia?
Yeah, he's trying to tighten things down, right?
He went back to paper ballots
Perfect
Write in ballots
Oh, that's bad
Is that bad or good?
No, that's good
Oh, okay
Pull out all the fucking machinery
Oh, you're talking about
And all that shit
So it's going back
Like the Dominion machine, right?
Yeah, well, that's what I read
And either he's trying to do it or he's already done it
They're going back to the write-in ballot
I'm okay with that
As a matter of fact, I remember reading something recently
Well, hold on
Let's tell you
So Governor Glenn Yonkin issues an executive order
To codify comprehensive election security measures
To protect the legal voters in accurate counts
So it says he issued the order
We use 100% paper ballots with a strict chain of custody
We use counting machines, not voting machines
That are tested prior to every election
And never connected to the internet
We do not mass mail ballots
We monitor our drop boxes 24-7
We verify the legal presence and identity of voters
Using DMV data and other trusted data sources
To update our voter rolls daily
Not only adding new voters
But scrubbing the list to remove those that should not be on it
Like the deceased individuals that they have moved
Non-citizens that have accidentally or maliciously
Have tended to register
That's right
So like back in the day with the whole Bush-Dole thing, right?
So it was these chats where you'd punch a hole, right?
I remember doing that
And then you'd send it through like Scantron
And it would read it
Yep
Right?
There wasn't an internet or anything like that
It would count it
So that's what he's going back to
I think we should go back to that
I agree a thousand percent, man
That's exactly what we should be doing
You remove any chance of electronic bullshit
Now it says human error or...
Well, then you can pull them out and count the chads
So this is in Virginia, right?
The Hanging Chad
All right
Hanging Chad, what is that?
That's when the whole...
Remember the Dole disputed Bush winning?
And it all came down to Florida
And there's pictures of guys holding the cards up
It looks like a little Chad hanging
Do we count that as a vote?
That was a disaster
Or do we count that as a non-vote?
Because it didn't punch all the way through
Let me read something else to you guys
I almost forgot about it
The president and two executives of the voting machine company Smartmatic
Remember them?
Are facing federal...
This is five days ago
Are facing federal charges tied to allegations of bribing the former top election official in the Philippines
Let that sink in
The president and two executives of the voting machine company Smartmatic
Are facing federal charges tied to allegations of bribing the former top election official in the Philippines
These guys are shady
I think there are certain things that should not be connected to the internet
They're shady, man
There should not be any electronics
I understand you want to be more efficient, more accurate or whatever
But I don't think it's any more accurate
And...
It's so many
I remember back in the day before I was voting, my dad and mom would go vote
And we'd have an answer the next fucking day
Yeah, we knew exactly
Because they would be counting it
We knew that night
It was boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, done
We've never seen six swing states stop counting at 10 p.m.
And why did they stop?
That's never happened
Why did they stop?
What was the reasoning?
They had dinner
Yeah, they said, well, you know...
Oh, I got to shit
They're tired
It's time for a bourbon
Yeah, yeah
So there's no good... there's no like law, legal, I can't count them as union rules
I think the most recent episode of Game of Thrones had been released
So they sent everybody home
What the fuck, man?
And one of them said there was a water leak
Do you remember that one?
Yeah
What are the toys?
They had to evacuate the...
There were all kinds of crazy stuff
And then the security was so malicious to these guys
They were just like, you know, the Republicans that were supposed to be overseeing it
They're like, I have the authority to be here
But...
Uh-huh
Is that Paul?
No, that's not me
That would be your phone that's beeping obnoxiously and interrupting podcasts
What's going on over there?
No one heard that
Do we need to have like a pregame?
Everybody, silence your phones, silence is golden
Oh, you know what?
Just like they do at the movie theaters, right?
Exactly, silence is golden, they used to work there
Yes
You never use butter on your popcorn
I don't like butter on anything
And I don't like butter bourbon either
Well, we don't have any butter bourbon
I like cupcake bourbon
Fray, we had...
That's butter cream
I enjoyed Fray
That was good
God, it was awful
So I agree with Governor Glenn Yenken
I think, you know, hats off to him for pushing that executive order in
And that came out August 7th, 2024
So that was recent, that was within the last week
Yeah, it just happened
I think more states need to do that
Across the board
You know, we've been talking about Netflix a lot
I wanted to bring up something
So do you guys...
How do you feel about today's subscriptions, right?
We have a subscription to everything you could possibly imagine
Well, like this whole world is moving towards subscriptions
Subscriptions, I got Prime, I got Amazon, I've got Netflix
I've got three different music ones
I've got the other P, what is the...
Paramount
Pandora for music
But more than just music and movies
Spotify
What else is moving to subscription bullshit?
Well, programs, like Windows-based programs, like Word and Excel
Microsoft Office is a 100% subscription now
Yeah, you can't buy a CD
You can't buy it, you have to pay month to month
Can you even put CDs in your laptop anymore?
I don't think so
They typically don't make laptops with CDs
You have to have... I mean, I have an external CD-ROM
Or CD-Hard Drive that... CD-ROM
What the fuck is this called?
CD-ROM
But the one that got me, as I was reading in the article, is Logitech
They make keyboards and mice
Oh, so we're going to have to pay to use them?
I thought it was mouses
It's not mouses, it's mice
Are you kidding me?
They're coming up with the mouse that you're going to have to pay a subscription for to use
Are you fucking kidding me?
Yes
Well, then we won't buy Logitech
That's basically what they're getting a lot of pushback
Dude, you can buy a mouse and a mouse pad for like 10 bucks on Amazon
Are you shitting me?
Hold on, hold on, back up one, Mr. Producer
Oh, they're backpedaling now
Okay, right there, hold on
Logitech says it has no plans for subscription-based ForeverMouse
ForeverMouse? ForeverMouse
Because they got a ton of shit for it
Oh yeah, they said they backtracked
Oh yeah, and that's great because...
They're backpedaling hard
And now Insys, it never planned to do it, so maybe that was misinformation, I don't know
I don't know
I'm sure they entertain the idea
Just like, look, it's all about money
Money
Well, it's trying to make money
And money forever money, forever money
Well, they want a guaranteed monthly income because what it was before, in the industry I came from
And it's moving to subscriptions as well
Is, you would have these huge upticks
Okay, I need to buy 10,000 laptops
Right
Boom, I just made 30 million dollars
Right
Now it's, alright, we're going to sell this as a subscription as a service, right?
So now I'm going to pay monthly for those laptops
So that 30 million is now 35 million over the course of three years
Right
So now the companies are getting a guaranteed monthly income every month instead of spikes
This is one straw on a camel's back
This is the whole system, the cars work the same way
They can sell a car for less expensive than you can anticipate even though they're not right now
But they make more, actually let me rephrase that
They make more money on the repair of a car than they do on the sale of a car
Correct
Over the life of the car?
Well, I'm waiting for the technology
Because these cars are so technology focused and centered that they're going to be like
There's going to be a subscription
If you want to use any of this technology in your car, you're going to have to pay 10 bucks a month
Your radio, your GPS, your Apple Play
The engine?
Whatever
You're going to buy the car for 30 grand and then you're going to
Hey, your air conditioner's not charging
Oh yeah
You're on the freeway and it goes
Well, then you're going to have to pay 50 bucks a month to be able to use these features in that car
Right
Oh, you're listening to our podcast
Right
And right when Jeff's about to say something really profound
It's like you need to renew your subscription
Right
Sorry, you're Spotify for dudes like us
You're dudes like us
And I can see these battery cars
The AI voice
I can see these battery cars being the first ones to do that
Because they're so computer run
I see them limiting
Well, you want traction control? Oh, that's more
You want all-wheel drive? Oh, that's more
Absolutely, and they can do it
So we could turn them on, but it's 50 bucks a month
Yeah
If you want your backup camera to work, you're going to have to pay two bucks a month
Right
I think we're eventually going to get there because all these companies are good
Absolutely
Aggravating
Fucking retarded
Yeah
You know what? I'm going to put my car in reverse so I want the reverse camera to work
Oh, guess what? We know you have the camera to work, but you got to pay two bucks a fucking month to have your reverse camera work
Instead of seeing something you're going to hit like an old lady with a stroller
It's going to flash and say balance due, overdue charge
Would you like to charge your credit card down? Yeah
And then you hit this
Ah!
It could be
But everything's going to subscriptions and going back to the TV subscriptions
I dropped my satellite because satellite was getting so expensive
Oh, yeah, serious, serious radio
We're on tablet
No, satellite dish TV
Oh
I dropped that because every year I'd call up and I'd say I need to redo
You're jacking my thing up 50 bucks
You went to the retention team like every single time
Oh, yeah, then I'd go up three levels and we're like, okay, we'll give it to you for whatever
And they're like, oh my God, it's Jeff again
Well, they stopped doing that
They stopped
Yeah, they were like
After 10 years of doing that, they're like, yeah
Yeah, they're like, fuck you, Jeff
Yeah, it's like, well, we can give you a, we can knock five bucks off
It's Jeff again
Bitch, bitch, please
What's the answer for this time?
Just pay what everybody else pays
You're paying an extra six months
You're paying a tenth of what Sean pays, so you know
Well, because Sean didn't call, right? There's people that do that, don't give a shit
I know, no, no
But every year
I gotta tell you, I've never paid for cable my entire life
Never
God
I'm not exaggerating
I know, but stop it up
I have never paid for cable my entire life
You just put a target on your back, well done
But what I'm getting to is now all these subscriptions are just as much as that damn ditch that works
Or more
Yeah, like you said, you got Netflix, you got Amazon Prime
I got so much shit, it's ridiculous
You have Apple TV, you have Disney, you have Paramount
I'm that guy that's climbing up the fucking telephone pole, hooking up my own stuff
And then the neighbor's like, my cable just went out, oh sorry, sorry
Oh my God
I did talk about that at the War in the Pocket
You did, you did
But you know, what was kind of the saving grace of this whole subscription thing is that you could have like six accounts, right?
So your friends and your parents and your kids
And now they're down on that
And now they're tightened down on that, and they're like, fuck man
Now it's all IP based, you know
Correct
And now you know what else they're doing, I mean, set aside for the subscriptions
It's, they're not allowing you to use VPNs
Oh, they're getting smart about that too
Well, in general, they're not allowing you to take VPNs
They're like, look, they're trying to make VPNs illegal
Right
Like you can't have a VPN
That's not going to work because work uses VPN, corporations
Well, I mean, I think they'll filter it for certain things
VPNs will never be illegal
I wanted to get, I was streaming the NFL
No, not, I'm streaming the NFL
Gay porn
Because it was not porn
It's NFL porn
Horse
Anyway, I would say that I was in Denmark
You know what? Forget it
You win
Denmark porn
You guys won
Well done
It's Danish
I was shamed so badly I couldn't finish my story
Well, that's just a great way to end this podcast
There you go
Yeah, but thank you for bringing up Governor Glenn Young
More fucking abuse
Oh, abuse
It's a hostile work environment, listeners
It's a hostile work environment
It is a hostile work environment
It is a dudes like us moment
And we're going to capture this
Yeah, of course we are
Yes, we are
Denmark porn
It's a
What the fuck
It's August 14th
Oh my gosh
So it's August 14th
My dad's birthday is in nine days
Julie's birthday
Awesome
It's a few years old
Julie's birthday is next Wednesday
Cool
Next Wednesday
Yes
Fucking hey, man
We got to talk about our parents getting older
I know
Shut up, Jeff
That's not happening for me
Yeah, well they are
But now it's awkward
Thank you Mr. Producer for staying on top of stuff
Dudes like us
I'm Sean
I'm Denmark porn
And I'm Jeff
You're Denmark Paul
Paul, Paul, Paul
