There we go.
Ready, ready, ready.
You were like a Jedi with those lights.
Because I looked over there, they were turned off, and I was looking around for the remote
control, and the remote control wasn't there.
And now the lights are on.
No, they were on when you were up there working on the Tumpen board.
Our podcast, On Beyond Lighting.
Yes it is.
So before we started the podcast in the green room, we tried out a whiskey Yamazaki.
The Yamazaki 12 year single malt.
Single malt.
Japanese, yes.
I believe so.
And a shout out to those guys.
It was well received.
Very tasty, very sweet.
I don't know if it's worth the $210.
Is that how much it was?
That total line, yes.
Wow.
Yeah, isn't that crazy?
Yeah, it's not.
Not many are worth that.
I don't want to pick on this one, but not many are worth that.
No, and you know what?
The reason why I brought that up is because we're probably not going to talk about it
again until...
Well, it's tasty because it had a lot of teas and tobaccos, but it had a lot of sweetness
to it as well.
I kind of liked it.
It was good.
It was different.
It was very different than what we're definitely used to.
It was a very light, it was like 86 proof.
So it's take that for what it means.
Yes, that's true too.
It's the third week of August and the time is flying.
It's August 20th.
It's Dudes Like Us.
I'm Sean.
I'm Paul.
And I'm Jeff.
We've been together for many, many weeks in a row now.
Yeah.
Well, you know, people are getting sick of us now.
Well, we had a stretch where there's a lot of shit going on.
Yeah, I know.
Your parents, Paul, my dad, Sean was out of town for a while.
So there was a lot of shit going on since beginning of the year.
So essentially...
Yeah, back and forth.
Yeah.
Check us out on Dudes Like Us Instagram, Dudes Like Us podcast, Dudes Like Us Woodcraft.
We're also on the Facebook.
We got a couple of pages there.
The Facebook?
The Facebook.
I don't know.
Or is it Meta?
I don't know.
Whatever.
Metaverse.
That's so silly.
Have you guys been on that?
No.
Never.
I have no desire to do that.
You know, when they first came up with the meta thing, the virtual thing where you wear
the little eye goggle things.
And you can buy property in the...
Yeah, that was one thing because it was like a rap star.
I think it was Snoop Dogg.
I think he was like, yeah, he was bragging about how he had purchased all this land inside
of a virtual thing.
Yeah.
And even companies did.
They opened up McDonald's or whatever inside the Metaverse.
It was absolutely retarded.
It's stupid.
And did it... has it fizzled out or are people living in it?
I have no idea.
You know, there's some game and Mr. Producer may know more than I, but there's a game called
Sims and it is a game that I know some people...
I've played Sims.
So you have...
I've never played it.
Not on the virtual, but I've played it on the computer.
Yeah.
What is that all about?
You're simulating like Sim City.
You never played Sim City?
Yeah, I played Sim City.
That was fun as shit.
Yeah.
I've never played the Sim People, but I've played Sim City where you build cities and
looks like you have actual people that you are now though.
I haven't played it.
See, yeah.
It's like you're basically creating a fake world because you don't like your world enough.
So you're creating another world where you're like...
I want to be a girl.
You're popular or somebody likes you somewhere.
What?
Did you say you want to be a girl?
Like...
I think that's what some of this is.
You can be that hot chick with the jugs.
So wasn't it that you could build on a server where there's multiple people in that same
server and you're building a...
So you're literally walking into other people and you could be a female logo or what is
it called?
Avatar.
The Avatar, female Avatar walking around in...
But this looks like a game.
This isn't...
It is.
Well, meaning you're playing like a scripted game.
This isn't just living in this world where you're like interacting with people.
I don't know.
I think there is...
Is that true?
It is.
It's a scripted game.
It's not like...
Is there a little bit of it where it's like World of Warcraft where you're in these massive
communities and you bump into people and go on quests?
It's not like that?
I don't know.
So I mean, would it be like...
Yeah, okay.
Phil, listen.
Well, we can't hear him.
Yeah, we're having a...
Yeah.
If you remember...
If you remember, we talked about it that Sims, I don't know which game or version it was,
they came out with the tranny scars.
What?
What are tranny scars?
Those are the vasectomy scars.
Well, the vasectomy scars...
Also, if I take off their shirt, they've got...
They've got...
They're proud of that.
It's like a badge of honor to show that scar because that means they were true to themselves
and they had the courage to do it.
Whatever.
That's masochism.
I wonder if they have...
It kind of is.
They have a penis sleeve scar on the arm because they cut your forearm skin off and make it
a tube.
Why did you...
Why?
And they have huge scars.
How do you know that?
I know.
And why...
You're so eager to talk about it sometimes.
He's brought it up like 10 times.
Have you noticed that, Chum?
His personality.
You know he's got an Iron Maiden in his closet?
Right.
What's that?
I don't know.
Get in.
Dark stuff.
It's all these spikes.
No, no.
It's okay.
Why are you closing it?
What happens when you close the door?
It's dark in here.
It's about to be really dark.
That was really dark, Sean.
All right.
Anyway, were you going to share something with us, Mr. Producer, about how this Sims
life world is?
All right.
So tell us about Sims.
Okay.
Sims is like...
Think of it less like an...
It's not an online game.
The only thing online that I know you can do with Sims by my knowledge is...
Oh, it's not an online game.
Oh, okay.
The only thing you can do that I know about online Sims is share...
Because you customize the person.
You basically are God controlling one person.
And you can do whatever you want in this world.
And it doesn't necessarily even have to be one person.
You can control a whole family.
You can control a couple.
And basically you can either start as a kid or...
This sounds very gay.
Yeah.
Well, look at the warning up there.
It's crude humor, sexual themes, and violence.
See, there you go.
Violence.
I mean, yeah, but it doesn't...
Are you like boning people in this?
You can have a child in this game.
Like do you get to see it happen?
No.
Full coitus?
Oh my God.
I mean, there is...
Do you get to witness the birth of your child?
There are mods.
You hit your butt and thrust, thrust, thrust.
And it says...
Fail.
You did not make it in time.
It says your mate is unhappy.
Premature.
Press button faster.
Premature.
Mate is very unhappy.
Disqualified.
I mean, that can happen in the game.
It'll send you a little pop and be like, your mate left due to unhappiness or something
like that.
You know, I could see a world where people who are lonely go into this game and then
they go to this virtual reality and they look totally different than they do.
And they go to the virtual bar and literally like their friends from Belgium and Australia
and somebody in Thailand, you know, they have their characters and they hang out in that
bar and you go in there and you talk with them.
It's like a world within a world, right?
I bet there's stuff out there like that.
I currently play video games frequently and you know, regardless of what the game is,
you know, we're online, we're talking with each other and you get to know these guys
because you play a lot and they're all over the world.
They can be all over the world.
You know, because depending on what, you know, but you get to know them by their name.
Yeah, of course.
It's funny how it's funny how that stuff happens.
Hell, we have guys that are that I play video games that now are avid listeners to the podcast.
Right.
Yeah, because you were sharing, you were sharing the stories.
Yeah, it's kind of cool.
Some of it's cool.
So, you know, and sometimes, you know, adults, especially adult men that that game, they
get a bad rap, right?
They get their stigma, stigma, you know, stigmatized into, oh, you live at home with your parents
and you're in the basement playing video games.
But you know, I was because I don't play video games, but I was thinking to myself that would
be just like you and your and your buddies, Sean, that would be a great way to stay in
contact with like your adult children or, you know, who are not at home anymore.
Right.
Obviously.
Or, you know, like you said, friends from college.
I mean, it's a reason to get together and you're sitting here bullshitting while you're
just mindlessly playing this game.
Right.
It's actually just like the podcast.
And you drink a box of red wine.
I did when I was playing World of Warcraft.
I poured pints of red wine.
But you know, I mean, it's just like anything else.
I mean, it's just like you're talking, you're playing the game and you are truly socializing
and there's this chit chat.
There's, you know, you have to focus on the game because the main directive is the game.
So the side talk is side talk, but it's still fun.
And you look forward to playing with, you know, the characters on there.
It's not the characters don't do anything like it's not like, hi, I represent this character.
It doesn't matter what the hell it is, you know, because I mean, I don't do that.
I just kill people.
You don't go, hi.
No, I don't do that with a little voice changer.
I'm actually a dude.
You didn't know that.
All right.
Anyway, so I would, so I was, I was bringing that up because I was like, I could see myself
at some point, you know, starting to, you know, game cause I want to hang out with my
older sons and you know, that kind of thing.
And she only, the first thing she said was, well, you're really going to suck cause you're
not going to be good.
And then, you know, they're not going to want to play with you.
And I was like, it's probably true.
What's funny is, is I'm not good at that.
But you meet other people like that though.
Yeah.
Right.
Steven, Steven's living with back, he graduated.
So he's living with us for the short term.
And we played a game when probably eight, nine years ago called, uh, EDF 2025.
He and I, we played it from the beginning to end.
I think Brandon played a little bit of a tube, but it was mainly me and Steven.
And it's a, it's a hysterical leak chaotic game.
Yeah.
Earth defense force 2025.
You're these little soldiers just killing bugs.
Nice.
And it's ridiculous.
And you're working together and you work together.
Yeah.
That's kind of cool.
And he found it a couple of weeks ago and he got all excited and he's been looking for
all the controllers and everything.
He finally figured out he could load it on his Xbox one.
Cause it's from three 60 Xbox three 16.
Oh, it's really old.
And he got to work and we played it last week and it was a blast.
Like over online.
No, he was sitting there right next to me.
It's couch co-op.
So couch co-op.
Yeah.
So, uh, yeah, that would be fun.
Yeah.
So we're playing it again and it's, it's just, uh, it's a ridiculous game.
It's fun.
I think that's cool.
I can see that.
I can see that in my future.
So we'll see.
But we've been playing, I did buy a game called it takes two.
Have you heard of this one?
It's really, really fun.
Yeah.
Portal with the boys.
Yeah.
It's really, really fun.
It's funny.
I bought it for Shelley and I, cause I wanted to get her into games a little bit so that,
you know, to get the stigma off of it.
Cause she's very anti games.
Right.
And so it's, it's a, yeah, kind of, I mean, just no interest.
Yeah.
She has no interest.
Oh yeah.
She totally into Barbie, right?
The exact opposite.
No, she likes, she likes, uh, damn it.
Twister.
Yeah.
Anyway, but it's a game.
It's a really cool game where you have to figure out stuff together and you cannot move
forward in the game unless one person has done something and then you got to wait for
them to do something else and you truly have to work together.
So Shelley and I are working on it and we suck at it.
Right.
And we're like, and then all of a sudden, uh, uh, Dylan came over with Lauren and they
were visiting and they're like, Oh, are you guys playing?
And then they, they took over and they were like, and they finished it.
Oh, they're fricking killing.
Oh, actually it was Dylan and Dawson, my boys.
And they were just destroying it.
And they knew exactly what to do, where to go.
We were like, how the fuck would you know this?
They'd never played it before anyway, but they were, you know, they were having a ball
with it.
Right.
So I thought it would be a cheesy husband, wife game.
You know what I mean?
And they were loving it.
So I don't know.
It's cool.
There was a, there was some cool, uh, games we played at your house.
We've played at my house too.
What uses the fire stick, the, uh, the Dean it's like, what about Jack or yeah, what?
Yeah.
Something about what about Jack or what is ask Jack Jack.
You don't know Jack.
Yeah.
You don't know Jack.
Well, it was a, is it a trivia?
It can be some of it's just like, uh, the saying odd, stupid things.
Is that what you log in with your phone?
You write an answer or something like that?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yes.
And some of them are, yeah.
And, and you, you want to be something like totally.
Yeah.
I've played that.
I mean, there's a fibbage.
Yeah.
Fibbage is one of them.
So Fibbage, then there's one where you're the jukebox where it's a kind of a junk topia.
You've got all kinds of different games and some of them cost money, but you buy them
once you play and they're fun as hell.
They are fun and they get, Oh God, they get so crass too though.
Because it's like one of them is you, you come up with an answer to a question and,
and you're up against each other head to head and then people vote for the best response.
And so you, Oh, quick lash.
That's it.
Quick lash is the game that we were just playing the other night.
Yeah.
That was, that was kind of crazy.
Oh, it gets so raw and it's obnoxious because you can type in anything you want, anything
you want.
Oh, it's, oh yes.
It's very obnoxious.
Well, it's kind of like, well, I think this was limited play, but the cards against humanity,
the first two or three times we played that was hysterical, but then it gets very repetitive.
It gets very repetitive.
It's rude and crude and it's fun.
Yeah.
The novelty kind of wears off by that time.
I remember it was you were with me the very first time and I think Sam, Sam was well,
but I remember I laughed so hard that my stomach was hurting.
And it's because you like you see their inner workings of some of these people's minds. It's like what the fuck
It's the absurdity of what's on the car. It's like I I can't fathom this actually being printed on a car
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, the creators of the game. There's a warped people man. Yes. Yeah, so anyway, that's good
It's got that's got you could play through it
You know two three times before it gets a little repetitive but and of course while you're drinking it makes it that much more
Yeah, oh, yeah. So that was a fun game. That was the last really fun game that I mean
Hysterically laughed when we played that. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we've had we've had the other fun games, too
I I enjoy the Pictionary that we play. I know that's old-school, but I just want my favorites
Oh, we we have a lot of fun because always do that. Yeah, because I like oh
We're like mind-meld. I mean, it's it's it's funny because you're gay. Oh, totally
Yeah, and most of the cards we pick are gay. So it works out great. They're very happy topics. No
but I mean, it's it's so funny to watch somebody draw a picture and you're like
Really?
That's it's that's what you drew. We could do like the strangest thing
It's like I could draw like a an oblong circle and Paul would be like the Millennium Falcon
And we're just like yes, it was and it's like and then everybody else like that bullshit. Oh my god
You got that card before?
You know you make a little a Pentagon shaped and you're kind of like a barn, you know
I thought don't get heckin D. John. Yeah, just kind of stupid and absurd and we get it. I
Mean we've got some really crazy things man. It's a lot of fun
Yeah, my sister and I were not allowed to be teammates
My family got so pissed off at how we dominated that we were never allowed to play together challenge accepted. I know it great
Anyway good stuff. Well also
You know other games that we'd play as a group and look I never thought myself
I mean we didn't play games like this growing up. At least I don't remember, you know, I think it's actually fun
You know, I I reckon I I recommend the families take the games and put them back into the household
And have family night and have game if your kids are older. Yeah still fun. It's fun
It's more it's it's a lot of fun. Now. We talked about this before it got violent
No, when they were young when they were younger, especially Monopoly man. Oh, it was every game every
Yeah, really? Yeah. Well, I mean I'll stop way to stop because it was like everyone's yelling and screaming at each other
Oh, it was a competition and then the pieces would get lost then you're like well
That's why you got to stick with like can't play now like like
Pictionary and what is the one where you do signs and you can't talk?
Charades charades. Yeah. Yeah, that was that was I didn't really actually like that that much. I'm not a big charade fan
I just love it how everybody gets so intense and they're like, you're not allowed to do that
You're not like you can't do that. You can't draw something on a keyboard
Can't do it you just drew a number you can't make a noise you know, you're saying something did you say something?
Said something. I can't hear you. Oh, yeah, you say that every time. It's always an excuse
Oh, yeah, that's what I do. Right? Yeah. Oh, you're used to my partner's though
Right
Anyway, good stuff. Yeah, I don't know how the hell we got off on that
So we do backpedal a little bit so we went to the whiskey
the Yamasaki
How they recommended I don't know mr. Producer. Are we gonna write that? I mean, it's not part of our regular part of a regular
Yeah, you know, we'll wait for another one. We'll just I just don't look it was good
It was sweet how they recommend it boom done and let's get shout out to Brian from Houston
Thank you for gifting that to the dudes like us. Yeah, it was tasty. It was definitely it was different than some of the things
We've got so it was good
So it was good. Are we so the summers coming to an end? Are you guys done with all your vacation planning for the year?
I mean, are you thinking about next year vacations? I have any vacation this year. You didn't have anything at all
Well account clearing out my dad's house a vacation. Yeah, I guess the drive back to San Diego Zoo
Yeah, you had you had a look you had a great time with your wife. It was an excursion
Yeah, that was well needed
Once we left and the drive back that was my vacation. It was an extended amount of time
It's a nice one, too
Yeah, I mean just the two three weeks when you guys were gone because you guys were gone three weeks, right two weeks
Three weeks. I think yeah, that's that is I mean, come on. How often do you get that?
You don't have to worry about work. You don't have to worry about Jack shit
No, I must have been nice, but the time we spent at my dad's though was not tough pleasant
Yeah
So those two weeks sucked like I said once that was done and we hit the road that's when
You're able to relax a little bit. Sure have some fun start having some fun
So so I mean do you guys plan your vacay?
I mean cuz you know that we say if you're gonna go to a vacation
You better do it now cuz the Beach House is gonna be you know, render we usually plan out
Quite a ways. Yeah, so you think in about 2025 summer? I mean is that is that what you're thinking?
I'm not yet like we're going to Hawaii in December. Damn. Nice
Luckily, it's already paid for before I the layoff right? So that's all right. That's not a concern. Luckily
Yeah, Julie and Andrea are going to run the Hawaii marathon. Oh
Oh very cool. So they're gonna do that
So I'll be out there and
Enjoying myself. I've been to Hawaii one time when I was like six years old
When is that gonna happen December 5th 6 7th right around there somewhere actually? Oh, it's right during the
Pearl Harbor Pearl Harbor weekend. Holy shit December 7th
So they're gonna be like a ceremony while you're there type. Well, we want to go to Pearl and I'll watch that movie in you know
Pearl Harbor Hill high step it. Yeah. No, that was a totally different movie same time
Why is every military movie trigger the same wrong memory false memory for you guys?
Well, we talked about it Julie's like I want to make sure we hit Pearl Harbor that she goes. That's the
What is it the 80th anniversary?
That's gonna be a big one and you get to where you can get to
As long as you do it before the seven pipes gone. Yeah, I don't know. So we'll have to see I'm sure there's gonna be
quite the
event that we did anyway, I
Have an interesting story from that though when when I was six my parents woke up and we were like
I don't know three or four blocks from the beach. I was I shot him in yeah
I think I was six and they woke up and I was gone and
So they were in a full-blown panic in Hawaii in Hawaii. I was gone. I just took off and
So they went down to the beach and I was sitting there by myself building building a sandcastle
Just you know, I was wasn't ready for the family wasn't waiting for the family to wake up and I just they smack your ass
I'm sure they did. I mean you don't want to put parents through that kind of you know, worry
So no shit. Yeah the beach and how old were you three? No six. Oh six. It's still you go to that ocean
Oh, yeah, of course
Yeah, I mean I was just there, you know get some good
I would build don't the same. Yeah, I don't think I never went in the water. So it's some straight lines now
You know my my taking off now just the same comparisons with Brody
I'm like, yeah, this kind of runs in the family. Yeah. Well, I'm sure that gave my parents a heart attack
But I'm sure I could imagine. I mean my brother did that when we were in in in Italy
You know, we were at a campground because we camped a lot when we were living in Europe in or Germany
And my brother he just in the camping community
We were at they they had like a date. It wasn't a daycare was like a summer camp, right?
So it's like cruises, right? Yeah, the people come in and they'd have like a little day excursion or something
My brother he's playing on the playground next thing, you know
He's corralled into this group of other preschoolers from other countries. Yeah, and gets whisked away on a bus
Oh shit, he's gone and we don't know where the fuck he's at
He's gone and we don't know where the fuck he's at and then he shows up like three hours later
And he's got like a balloon and some candy. He's like I went to the zoo. Yeah
I don't remember if we beat his ass. She's a nervous wreck and and yeah, that was great for them, right?
Yeah, but all worked out well, and I may be missing a few facts. She was texted. It said hey, I'm at the zoo
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Well before tax. Yeah, then that was crazy
I mean think about it. I mean that was an it was your brother that got lost. Yes when he was little
Okay. Yeah, have you ever lost your kids?
Anywhere straight wall tell you what Austin was the worst?
Austin was absolutely the worst. He's a fucking magician. I don't know him one second. He's behind you the next second
He's gone Houdini. I swear to God
I literally turned around for like two seconds and said something to somebody and I turned around he was fucking gone, right?
And I mean it was I mean it got to the point where you know when you first lose your kid and you're kind of like
I'm embarrassed to yell out his name because I'm people think I'm a shitty father, right?
You know, you're not even watching your own kid the first couple times that happened. I was kind of
Nervous sheepish and outside I just kind of oh I found him finally and but after that I was like fuck it because it was
Too much drama
Immediately I would yell out Austin
I just freaking yell it out right because it just wasn't worth it Austin
Hey, you see my blonde kid with blue eyes. He's around your summer wearing a yellow jacket
You know, it's just people like dude chill chill man
I mean I got to get tired of it and it's just kind of I'd rather have him now because one of these days
He's really gonna get frickin stolen, right? You need proactive for that, you know, right? Oh, yeah, man
Brody gave us a number of heart attacks. We were at a
Oklahoma baseball tournament and he was I don't know for and
And couldn't find him couldn't find him anywhere panicked and then I look over the fence next door to the the fields is a
National Guard Training Center and there's like all these National Guard men's in full fatigues
Having a smoke break and it's guard guard guard guard Brody guard guard guard guard guard, right?
All sitting on a on a sitting on a side on the path in sidewalk, you know what I mean?
And I was like, oh my god, because we're panicked. I was like Shelley look over there, right? Look over there
She's like, oh my god, it was tiny. He was little tiny kid with all these soldiers, right?
And they're like, oh, yeah, are you Brody's parents? Yeah, you guys are really great parents
Is he allowed to have a smoke
His third one I
Swear man that kind of shit happened all the time with him
The only time I lost my boys was in this in the work
We go to JC Penney and they would go diving in the clothes. Oh, yeah, they hide in there
Oh, it was it was my job like Julie just she's shopping. Yeah, she's oblivious to what's going on, right?
She's what she shot. She's like they're yours. Yes, and I'm
Chicken with her head cut off trying to one goes this way. What do you realize that way? He's he's in there too
I was like in the the big aisles like the big Costco aisles. You got these stacks of toilet paper and the kids have
Path to get behind the toilet paper and then they push out the big
Scott towels forward and now they've got a full-size room in there and they just walk in there and then they build in behind
They stack it and Julie's like Jeff Jeff and he's like peekaboo
She's gonna find us here Jeff in there
You Disney dad
Yes, I guess so. Yeah, that's the that you were Disney dad. I know you it was true. It happened
No, they've never done that. But no, I was not just talking about you. Yeah, we're hitting in there
We she's yelling at the kids if you included it's all I will tell you is both Stephen and Preston did do that
And I'm sure Austin has because he's very quiet over there. No eye contact
We were where they're hiding in the in the bay. They did exactly what I just said Costco
Well, or or store similar to that. It's just like they you have like a bunch of diapers or a stack of toilet paper
They're moving boxes around they just move boxes and then they make a space behind them and make an afford
oh, man, they just push things out and
They're gone. I'm sure they probably walked in there with some sodas and some candy and just sat back there eating it and
dude
Juvenile delinquents. Yeah, like you in the movie theater in Germany
What sneaking into the back and watching movies and picking out on candy that was fantastic though? I know
And your parents were like well, Sean, well, well, my mom was the like the in Germany they had the
Actually, it wasn't Germany. It was New Jersey Fort Maworth, New Jersey. They had the the the God-blessed movie theater
and she was the manager for the snack bar and
So we got sick of snicker bars. I did man because you know
she I went there and I stole a whole box a 36 pack of Snickers bar and this was like one of those full
Big on theaters that had the big performance stage and they had the grips and the paths upstairs
And you know you climb up a ladder and there's you know, they've got an area where you can get a little bit of
You know, they've got an area where that director sits, you know walk up there. Yeah, what is the grips?
So those are the guys that are up high that control the lights
And the electrical and sometimes the microphone drops and they're wearing like headphones and being told, you know, yeah
Interesting. Yeah, okay and
They
I've never seen one of these after that but they had a room up in the rafters
It was a room that you you you walk on the rafters
It was your hangout and you open up a door and you walk into this room and there's glass on the front and you
Have a perfect view actually there wasn't glass on the front yet
But it was an open window area and you can see it was like 15 foot wide and they had like
Like four rows of seats where you they would do that is perfect. It's up in the rafters
It's not for it's for directors and people that are but you still watch the movies and everything
That's absolutely what we did
So what I did I had my mom's keys and I took it down to this is on base for mom
Did you do any of this with permission? No, absolutely not. So but in Fort mom with is like a little community
So they they've got basically everything they got rental centers. They've got gas stations
They've got little grocery stores everything in that look they had a little key shop
So I went there had to make a copy of the key to get access to the very back door
Of the movie theater 14 so the criminal the criminal life started early, huh?
So I made a copy of the key we would we would get it doesn't matter what movie it is because you gotta imagine the
Back of the stage was a full-on
I mean you gotta imagine like a live performance there where you have to have so they would see you walk in
Because they would have these makeup rooms that were the traditional lights turn them on if you're doing like a true theater thing
Yeah, so they've got like six rooms and it's like a little in a cafeteria kind of style
It was a big area back there designed for like performances that you would have in a play
So you couldn't see it. So when the movies on you know, you open that back door
No one knows that you're there you walk in just leave the lights off
You can hear the music playing and you're you climb up this ladder again
You can't be seen when you're climbing it nice you're up on the rafters and at that point they can see you
So you just kind of walk real slow slowly no sudden movements
No, and then once you get into that room, you just shut it and you're in there for hours
Oh, man, we would sit we would get there like on a Saturday
We'd get there like at 11 o'clock in the morning and the 10 a the 10 the noon movie would play because they had the double
feature so you had the noon and there was a three o'clock one and we'd have like a
garbage bag of popcorn
Because the night before yeah, they clean out the popcorn bins
They just dump it in there and they just kind of they trash it
Well, I knew what we were gonna be to be doing the next day
So I took all that popcorn and I brought it up into the room. So it was there already
conniving and they had large Jolly Ranchers member the super large Jolly Ranchers that were like an inch
Oh, yeah, but they're really skinny. There's
a thin like a thin yes. Yes a Jolly Rancher fan
Yeah, I was I wasn't either but we got them because they were available and they were like 15 cents. It was ridiculous
Oh, man, I like the French chew the French chew. Yes. Is that the big league chew?
Is it no, it's kind of like kind of like a taffy type thing. Oh, that was a sex act. Yeah the French chew
Hmm not a sex act. What could be what's going on over there? Yeah, just asking if it's a candy or a sex act
I'm not sure what he's talking about. It's kind of like a tough or taffy. I mean a French chew taffy. Yeah. Oh look at that
artificially flavored chewy taffy
Made out of it's made out of beaver butt. I'm sure the yeah beaver ash gland
For those people that don't know out there dudes like us listeners, but have you heard us say the past
most of the vanilla flavorings
artificial vanilla
Artificial, okay 99% of the probably most of the flavoring artificial is made by castorum
Yeah, it's made by but whole it's made by the the beaver
But whole even but a gland anal gland. Yeah, it's anal gland. It secretes what?
An oil is it a lubricant to make the doo doo go out or probably
Or is it oil? It's the anal gland
Well, maybe maybe it's an oil that comes out of it that maybe coats its fur to make it waterproof
Do we have a do we have a gland that produces oil to make the poop go out dogs dogs do?
And if you that I wonder if that humans have a kind of gland that's gland
That gland is my fault
I'm sorry your dogs probably had their anal gland expressed Oh express
Is that the term? Yeah, only if it gets like clogged and you have to yes get in there with your thumb and your finger
Like if you're if you if you notice that you're like don't push you know my mouth
You know it smells but if your dog is looking at not like vanilla, you know, if their dog is looking your at there
Not your asshole
Your dog is licking your asshole, you know, you probably shouldn't be doing that right now
That's a sign when they lick their butthole a lot. Yeah that their glands getting a little they're licking the vanilla off their butthole
It's getting a little inflamed. Okay, let's move on to another topic
Sean took us there. Sorry. I just saw this little thing that popped up on my
Screen here. So at 4 o'clock
August 20th, 2024 at 4 p.m
That today. Yeah, Jennifer Lopez files for divorce from we saw that coming. Did that last a year?
Now did what they on and off just over isn't this their second marriage together. So I believe they're divorcing
Just after two years of marriage. So this is filed on Tuesday, August 20th in LA County
soup Superior Court for
Variety or Verity as I guess that's name variety variety. The official separation is dated as April 26 Lopez
55 and Affleck 52 married in Vegas in July of 2022 after
Resparking their friendship from two decades prior which was dubbed the Bennifer by tabloid publications
I think those are two people with huge ego. Yeah who can't handle
anyone but
themselves
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know because Ben Affleck was married to Jennifer Garner. Yeah for a while a long time
Oh, yeah, the kids. Yeah kids together. Yeah, they have kids but the tabloids sniffed this out a while ago
Yeah, they've been talking about them on the out. He seems like a complete asshole
She seems just completely hung up on herself. I I have no idea
I don't give up two shits about these two people. Yeah, be honest
I mean, I wouldn't I mean it's kind of rare that that Hollywood celebrities have have
Long-lasting they don't yeah odd ones are some of them do like Tom Hanks and his wife Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn
Oh, yeah, they've been married. They I don't think they were married. No, they're not married. That's probably why they're still together
Because it was the point of breaking up. We're not even married
Could be I don't know. Okay. What are you looking for sir? Um, I was looking for some tums
That Japanese whiskey not sitting well with um, no
I don't know what it is could be the dinner or lunch that Jeff and I had today
That was a pretty healthy looking burger. You had yeah, you guys went to you did a workday midday tailgaters
I didn't really want what was that all right? Well, I don't know. I was just looking for a
Man, look the hell I I made a commitment to to have lunch and you know, well look first of all Larry
Thank you, Larry. Thank you Scott
Um, you know, yes. Yeah, it's look. I always like meeting up with these guys today was to kind of like oh my god
I wasn't sure if I was gonna make it and then so it was last second and I knew it was coming and
Then I was like, I hope to God I don't have to cancel it. So
Whatever it worked out. We end up hitting up there. We had lunch at Gators. It was a good visit
Yeah, it was a good visit
I mean those are two good good. Yeah, well, we try to get Larry on the podcast
Tonight and it just didn't work out. So we'll we'll we'll see if we can't get him on one of the next upcoming ones
And Scott, of course
Awesome, dude. Yeah, he's gonna he's going through some stuff right now. He's got his head whacked pretty hard from a on job
Something that happened. Yeah an accident now, I'll tell you kind of briefly what happened long story short
There was a forklift that moved a large pipe
By accident and when it released it it kind of snapped back in place and smacked Scott in the side of the face
That is insane and it has caused
tremendous
issues
I can physically I can bet and his balance and it's a severe concussion that he didn't realize
And it was bleeding. There's all kinds of uncomfortable stuff. You know, it's tough
No, we are not sponsored by any kind of lawyers out there
But if you know anybody that wants to help out this give us that
Break his jaw that screams of lawsuit. So it ended up
I mean, I don't know. Well, I'll tell you it ended up knocking out a few teeth and
Jacking him up. He's fucked up man. I mean that happened six months ago
Damn and he has he can't look for too long at the screen. He'll pass out
You know, there's there's a lot of stuff that's going on in the world
I mean, was there safety precautions that weren't taken like was he supposed to be wearing a helmet and he wasn't or
You know, I I don't know. I can't answer that. If it hit him in the face. Yeah, it probably wouldn't have mattered
Yeah, well, I mean it's not like you have wear a face mask when you're on the bottom line is that he got hurt out there
Yeah, so regardless of fault, you know, he didn't sign a waiver or anything like that that says, you know
I mean if I get hurt out here, I mean he's out there on his own. I mean he got hurt on the job
Yeah, no, I mean it's it was it a
Well, it's crazy it's shit like that that could happen to anyone at any time
I mean, you don't know totally can you could be walking across the parking lot of Kroger and
Something fucking crazy happened. Yeah
Brandon stopped by yesterday and he picked up I made a chessboard for him. I don't know if you guys saw that
and a few other things for his
Fraternity. Yeah. No, I didn't see that. That was nice yearly thing and on his way back to his house
He was in a four-car pileup, but he would unscathed through it. Oh wow
So there were car he was on 75
There were cars hitting each other hitting the the wall the inside wall and just it was like a four-car
Messed he goes I made it through somehow without touching anybody. Yeah, damn. That's his luck. Yeah
I was just like dude just 75 sucks
Anyway, but you just got to be diligent give plenty of space
Keep your eyes open because it can happen on any ride. Well
Damn mr. Prudence says we love Texas highways. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I think we've all had close calls like that. Maybe
And they're they're not fun. He was probably was pretty shaken up. I bet he called me
Because he hurt his back. He was at the gym. He hurt his back
Lifted some weights and he goes my back really hurts now probably because he can't get up
He goes my back really hurts now probably because he tensed up tensed up. Yeah, for sure. He just strained everything back
That's that's where the damage comes from is when you tense if you could somehow just go limp
Yeah, impossible. Yeah, totally. That's why people that follow enough for us were on testosterone. There you go
Oh, there you go to go limp
Oh
Do you drive with an erection like everywhere you go? Is that what you're saying?
Use it a stick shift and you're like i'm not going limp bitch. Yeah
But that's the thing you hear people who are really have wrecks who don't get hurt
Because they were sleeping if you're sleeping you're loose and you just kind of
Flow around right? So no, no, I get it. I mean shit
There was one time shelling and I were driving up to Fayetteville and we were on 69 which is you know 75 turns into 69
In you know, we weren't doing 69. We're driving on 69 and it was the highway
The highway in oklahoma, right and it's a really dangerous highway because it's four lanes. No divider, right?
And people can turn left right off the freeway. Oh, yeah
You know i'm talking about right? There's no exits and on ramps. I mean, and so we're we're in the right lane
And somebody is stopped
With their blinker on and this person next to us
Was going 70 just ram the no and so i'm in the far lane. I'm like, oh shit
I mean and we saw the whole thing happen. He was fucking houdini. I don't know how he did it
He went into oncoming traffic and went around him. Oh really?
And like we all like I he went over to the side. I went over to the side another car was coming up
I mean it was could have been an absolute fatality
Wreck and not one of us touched each other
I guarantee that was just a reaction on his part because you don't want to pull an oncoming never and there was no one coming
Right in that very moment. That's why I said it was probably a reaction
Because he saw you on the right. He would have hit me. I can't go this way
So I have to go that way if he was going to try to miss that guy
He would have killed himself and killed that car or he would have slammed totally into me
And who knows if we would have rolled and right done crazy shit and amazingly nobody touched anybody and then but like you said
I mean for the next 40 minutes we were just quiet right and going like fuck that was yeah
There was a guy that was super scary. There's a guy he used I used to work with and
His daughter played softball and they were in Louisiana. I believe
going to a tournament and
There are two or three cars in this in this train of just following right and
There's a ladder in the middle of the highway. Oh shit. Just like a six-foot ladder in the middle of the highway
He went around it
His wife or whatever who was driving in the back
Couldn't see it
Hit it. Yeah, because you couldn't see it and flipped the car. Oh damn
Yeah, so he's looking at his rearview mirror as his daughter and his family members are in his car rolling down the highway
And luckily everyone lived but his daughter got hurt pretty bad. She was in the hospital for a while. What a nightmare
Yeah, did you ever see the one with the video with the video cam behind this car and this wheel comes off
And the car hits the wheel
The car hits the wheel goes straight up in the air and comes down on the hood on the top
Do you see that one?
With a random wheel sign down the road. No, it was like a truck
It was a pickup truck old shitty pickup truck and all sudden the wheel comes off. Oh, yeah
Yeah, and it rolls right in front of this tesla. No, I wasn't a tesla. I don't know what it was
Anyway, what the car hit it and went boing
Like 15 feet in the air flips over and lands on its top and amazingly everybody, you know, he they they walked away from it
That's probably a what the hell just happened type of a thought. Yeah. I mean what oh god what a nightmare
You never know. I couldn't help but laugh when you see it's like he had no way to react
A nightmare thing where there are incidences where wheels like that does unravel under the one nuts come loose somehow
Or they didn't do good enough. Well on any vehicle when you see that tire rolling down the street that thing is a
It's a projectile
Jack you up. I used to work at kill you instantly. I used to work at the Renaissance Hotel down
Dallas it looks like the big lipstick. Oh
I used to work there and like a canine 35
Lipstick canine. That's what a canine lipstick looks like when they get an erection. It looks like a lipstick
Looks like a lipstick
I've never heard that you've never heard that and they say yo your dog showing a lipstick. No, it's the pink rocket. Oh
Oh, that's better. Yeah. Anyway, that's better. Sean, right? Anyway, the parking lot for that
Oh my god, you know difficult this segue
Anyway, the parking lot is below the highway. So 35 runs
Above it and you have underpasses, right? Yeah, I was the parking lot. I think coming back from lunch
And a semi tire comes flying off the highway
Oh my god, and is hits the parking lot and is bouncing through the parking lot going 50 miles an hour
Oh, and it eventually rams into a car
Parked car. Yeah, but it fucked it up. So bad. It was a big ass semi tire. Oh, yeah, and I'm thinking
If that hit anyone that would kill them absolutely kill them
That's i'm saying you could be I mean you don't expect that you just walk in all sudden
And you don't even have a tire 50 miles an hour. You don't even have a chance to react
I mean, it's just like remember there was a
a saw blade
From a concrete cutter. Oh that came running down the road didn't hit anybody but it came right down the road and
Ran right into a convenience store and a guy was getting coming into the convenience store and it hit
and stuck
Right in the wall like two feet on the right of him. What's it like?
Was it a big like big saw blade? It was like a little seven inch. No like 24 inch
Yeah, concrete saw blade. It's basically a throwing star, right? Oh, yeah the kind they cut the concrete
Saw blade. Yeah, those big uh, big big cuts with it coming down the street and it makes giant clouds of cement
Oh, yeah, it's good to inhale that
They have long careers. Oh, i'm sure they do
Yeah, crazy. I remember my dad and I were we're driving down this country road behind this old pickup truck and
He's going man. What a piece of shit truck all sudden. It falls off right in front of us. My dad can't miss it
He's like, oh shit
I mean, it's just you know, you know, yeah, I mean you just fucking never know man
You always have to be on your toes. What are you looking for? Crazy shit happens. You do he's looking for this concrete saw
He's looking for this concrete saw. Uh, is that you have a video of it? Is that a concrete saw blade?
I mean, do you know there's a video?
uh
Mrs man, Mrs man, I guess yeah, I saw it up there. Did you really? Yeah right there right there. No shit
Four foot concrete saw saw blade narrowly misses man after coming. Yeah, this is April 1st. This is it right here
I didn't realize it was that big recent. Yeah, so this was yeah, that's a 48. Well, they have a video of the
the
Yeah, watch this. So there's a saw blade. Oh
So this thing just comes running
Your mass per hour. You're not dodging that
Yeah, but
Their screen shows it. Well
Unbelievable, he's trying to zoom in we try to make it slow. There we go
So this big ass saw blade comes through the parking lot in an instant
and
Skip skip skip skip. I guess it is four foot
I would have cut him in half. Oh totally it would have
Dismembered whatever and look how it went in between two parked cars
Did you see that how it comes out of nowhere between two parked cars? What'd it do to the inside?
No, it didn't do anything. It sticks watch it when it comes down through the parking lot. Oh like sticks right there
Yeah, yeah, you can see it. Oh, I didn't see that far sticking out of the wall
So it comes between the cars as he's got a 25 percent speed right now. No, why so boom?
It's rolling hits the parking lot misses the car. Oh, it's leaving like skid marks
And then boom and then see how it stays there
Oh my god, why would it be so why would it be?
Why would it be going that fast? Like where'd it come from? Um, I don't know
It could have been spinning on this thing going fucking a thousand rpms
And it just shot off it could have it broke the I don't know you would think they'd have some kind of safety
Feature on there so that doesn't happen
Damn
Those those are big machines. So why I don't recall them function like that. I didn't think they could do it. So
Can you imagine the guy running it?
Oh shit. Oh imagine if it went after you run after it. He's like
Well, maybe maybe it went through him
Um, you know what happened? I don't know the blade shut off. I didn't see any blood. I didn't see any entrails hanging on to it
Where is it? It's in the 7-eleven. All right. Well, oh my god
That's that's incredible, but again, that's one of those things you're like
You you'd be cut in half and you would never know like what the hell just happened nothing you could have done now
That is a that is a your number is called
It was probably don't even think about doing those concrete guys are probably doing work right outside of a mom and pop store
And a restaurant like that and it's and that blade goes through there does a bunch of damage and then they got to close
I mean, it's just you know, these these businesses are are are struggling right now
Oh, and I wonder if that guy's watched the video the guy that walked in that in that store
I'm sure I'm sure saw how close he was to getting his leg cut off or his body cut in half
Well, hell, I mean like that's what I mean not to bring up. Well, I don't care trump. I mean shit
He nearly got his head
That was close man. He he he about went jfk
Did you ever see the video in iraqi war when uh, I think it was the persian golf when we were bombing all those bridges
And they were showing and they were very proud of showing like the strategic strikes that they the u.s
Made right and they showed this bridge and they showed this little car going across it goes
And and and this and the general that's giving the you know updates on the thing and he goes and this man
Here is the luckiest man in iraq
And it shows this little car going across the bridge and he just gets to the other side and the thing goes
vaporizes, right
And he goes and then he says and in his rearview mirror, that's what he said
He goes and his rearview mirror. I was like god man taking light of this but still
One lucky son of a bitch. There's a there may be a song about that
It's off the the pink floyd final cut album
I
Have to think clue is in on that before that happened. It did it world war two
No, it wasn't world war two. This is no this is a persian golf. Yeah, this is okay. All right
No, you're right. They definitely before that but it's it's still because before the wall or sorry the people the the final cut they have a similar
Uh guys looking through the rearview mirror and he sees like a bunch of shit happening behind him
He's like, holy shit. Of course, it's part of the song right now. It's kind of funny. That is funny
You know, I was talking about the the businesses, uh regarding because it kind of it brought back because I saw the picture of
When the blade was coming through and the small businesses out there and how a lot of these are closing
And we have we have a local business here twin peaks. I don't know if you guys know
Uh what that is, that's not a place typically where dudes like us hang out, but we have been there
No, it's not it is a restaurant where dudes hang out. Well not dudes like us because we don't give a shit about stuff like that
At least I don't
I mean boobies. It's not high
We're men. So yes, we're gonna look at boobies, but it's it but the point is is that it's not like a regular friday hangout
No, it's not like yeah at all. Yeah, we're gonna go there. I'll some invites us to go then we'll go
But you know what? Frankly, I don't really
To me, it's not a I don't like going to places like that makes me feel uncomfortable because I feel like i'm
You'd rather go to the lodge. I think the fact that you have I think the fact you have two daughters
Well that and plus I think it's disrespectful
uh
Excuse me for for to go places like that for my wife because it's like, you know, I wouldn't want
Her going to uh, actually, I don't care if she goes but I mean I wouldn't want that
Julie and I go to hooters with the boys. I think hooters has morphed into something else now
It's not quite actually it's not as bad as it. Yeah, I actually haven't been to hooters probably five or six years
Yeah, but hooters is absolutely nothing compared to twin peaks and it's absolutely nothing compared to wild pitch wild pitch or
Neck head tight ends or someplace like that tight ends. I was calling. Oh, I think I think that was bad
I mean they're wearing the mini skirts aren't they and like a
Yeah, it's like swiss alps kind of like hey girl kind of looking on so skirts. Yeah, so they're mini skirts
They're not in lingerie's or anything like that is what i'm saying, right? So it's it's
Whatever. It's it's outside of the things that I would like to do
I mean if you were to say hey, what do you want to do? I will probably never say that and
Hopefully they're closing down for that reason. Maybe it's uh, I don't think so
I don't think so either. It was very very busy. Lots of dudes like to go in there and look at that
Well, they're they're up in the rent on it
Yeah, or you know and then you have to ask why why are they up in the rent?
Are they are they disagreeing with the nature of their establishment or do they have uh more profitable things in mind?
Or is it just greed?
You know what? I think and this is gonna sound fucked up
I think that they've got a different type of business that they want to put in there other than twin pigs
I think you're 100. I think that's exactly what it is. It's prime real estate right in the middle of
This new fabric of a society that we've i'm gonna agree with you culture. Let's just say it, you know
There's nothing wrong. It's not nothing wrong with it. So, I mean we have had a massive influx of of indians from asian indians, right?
and a massive influx and we're seeing
huge, uh, you know businesses cropping up like uh, well all strip centers indian grocery stores hookah bars, um,
You know a million indian restaurants and you know, I we're i'm speculating that
Uh, so i'll be some indian entrepreneur bought it and you know doesn't want that to be that he wants it to be a high-end indian restaurant
Uh to cater because they know they have a captive audience
You know what I mean? They have there's there's a hundred thousand indians here and there's you know up until now
There hasn't been a lot of uh indian. I think one company indian. What what do you call it?
I don't I don't know if that's the case on this one because I think one big company owns all of that real estate over there
Uh, okay, so then yeah, but it's it's not take away from what's going on
Well, no, no, no, because that is the case. I got tailgates tailgaters, for example. Oh, we know that first hand
Well, that's yeah, that one's a little bit different. That's a little strip center off to the side
Well, this has the target the best buy. Yeah, but the staples it's the uh, it's the the whole spirit of
You know what? I feel kind of dickish about saying it too because look
I don't care if they're indian or what they are. I don't give fuck but the thing is is that I would prefer
I mean we we have what if they put in a tgif friday's becoming monogam not monogamous. What is it? There's too much
There's not a variety. It's becoming more and more indian stuff
It's like we're what if it turned in not an indian restaurant but owned by indians. Oh, there's nothing wrong with that
I don't give a shit about that. It's not about who owns it
I mean
And I don't even I don't even fault them for wanting to to put in a business that they that they know caters to
To a clientele that's going to come
I mean they they want to make money. All right, and they and they know exactly how to cater to this
This new new population that has come into to north texas. I mean, I don't fault them for that and there's nothing wrong with it
It's just like i'm with you. It's just a little frustrating. It's just not it's not texas. It's it's like the whole
The whole what your concept of texas is changing right and it it and i'm okay with change
It's just I wasn't prepared for it when I moved up here. I was thinking man
This is going to be you know, a well mel I mean, I don't know a melting pot would be great
Yeah, nice diverse, but it's not diverse anymore. No, we want we want 88 barbecue joints between here and 121
Nothing but barbecue. I remember that's all we want. I remember a time on preston. There were 10 chicken restaurants, right?
They all failed
Oh, you're they may put 10 indian restaurants on there and they may all fail. All right. Yeah, that's true
They're all trying to jump at this new demand. It's a new opportunity. Yeah
One of the last ones to go was was uh, bubba's
Right that used to be pdq chicken. No, then it was closed. Oh, yeah
Really about four or five months ago. Well, there's I know there's one in
Anyways, I so I just went to albuquerque and I went to bubba's and I don't think i've been to a bubba's anywhere else
Um, like I didn't go to the one here and it was great. No, it's good food
It was really good food. Just home cooking fried chicken just like babes. That's the same company
Oh, right. Okay. Well, I wish I had known about bubba's before they closed. I mean shit
I would have I would have gone there but you had that then you had canes there there
There were like I said, there were nine or ten raising canes hasn't closed though. So that's there's there's one restaurant
They're slim chickens. Yeah, there's a million of them. There's one just south the hamburger
You know the hamburger place from california in and out in and out
There's one one property that's just a little bit south of that on the same side like 15 different restaurants. Yeah, like it's like
Like every every every other year. It's something else, right literally. It's been like seven different things. Yeah
Well, I mean it's it's
Saturated. I mean what is I mean to say that there's too many indian restaurants
I don't I think there is on the outskirts
But if you go down that main strip there, there really isn't too much down there. I don't think yeah
I see what you mean, you know
I mean, it's it's mainly in the neighborhoods over here where by us all these little strip centers that are going up by us
Are turning into 100 indian. So it's real local to us. I think I think what i'm doing quite honestly is projecting because
The tailgaters was our hangout that was our that was our little local bar and it then we found out that yeah
Yeah, they're closing it because the guy that owns the whole strip center is indian and he wants he wants all indian fare
Uh, and yeah, I have a problem with that. Yeah when we got that news now
I'm kind of projecting to everything that closes is probably what i'm doing, which is which is unfair
I I shouldn't do that. Well, we don't even you have no idea why it's closing. It might be just
Actually not doing well
It doesn't seem like it
I think they increase on rent because the landlords around here are on especially on preston road to pan a pretty penny
Extremely expensive. Yes, and with the rise of food cost and everything going up and they're like, yeah
We're gonna raise your rent 100 percent. You can't do that
Okay, but I I think there's hope in the future right kamala's uh has a uh, a food price
Oh, yeah, fixing she's gonna fix fix prices. Yeah, how does she manage to do that? Yeah, walk us through that
Okay, there's a couple issues with it. How does she have the power to do that? She doesn't which i'm hoping
everybody understands that because if she doing shit like that, that's
Dictator type shit and why can't if she can do it anyways, why doesn't she do now? Why is she waiting?
Well, because she's not president but it isn't okay. Well, first off. What is she proposing? Well, she's proposing
Well, she's calling it, uh anti-galging right? She doesn't she doesn't like she said gauging. Oh, she said
She did she did that's what a fucking buffoon. She is
Yeah, she said she really yes. Yes. Yes. Oh good lord price gauging. So tell me about anti-gaging that she
Is going to come up with. Well, she wants to
Uh, what she call it price lock is what she called it, right? Uh, so basically she's gonna try to set prices
Based on what the government thinks is fair. Yeah, so basically there she's not a blind demand. It's not capitalist system
It's a communist soviet soviet bullshit. You can't charge a hundred dollars for this anymore. It needs to be 50
Okay, first off. She doesn't have the power to do that
And it has to be the it has to be law legislation that comes from congress
Is she thinks she's going to do an executive order to do this shit?
We're in very dangerous territory. Your cereal can't be five dollars a box down needs to be 250
Right and who says who the president cannot have that power
And if they're able to do an executive order to allow that to happen, we're in serious trouble
Well, it's going to reduce the quality
The quantity oh they're going to close. Yeah, it's gonna be like damn. No. Yeah, they're getting out
But actually what i've heard is a big side effect is the black market goes through the roof
That's right, because the good shit moves to the black market. That's right
Because it's you know, that's what people want. Yeah, I want the good stuff. That's not price control price control
That's what it's called. Oh my goodness. And the other thing she wants to do is she wants to give all new home buyers
$25,000. Oh, that's fair. That's fair for all of everybody else. Yeah, it's fair for me. Well, that's good
All it's good. All it's going to do is
Well, like i'm where i'm selling my dad's house. Well, let's just tack it up. Twenty five thousand
That's right. That's exactly what everybody's gonna do right because they're not gonna lose out on it
It's the same. It's the same thing that obama did. Let me buy your old fucking car
Or the obama phone
Remember that when he was he said let me buy your old car for 1500 bucks
No, I don't remember that. I don't remember that so what would see if you pull that up. Mr. Producer obama buying cars
So he's out there. Hey, what's he gonna take to get you into uh, this old uh, osmobile. He's got little little fedora
In the pipe the cash for clunkers. I got myself a trans am right here
Get the family take to get you into this the car the family truckster. It's the car allowance rebate system
Colloquially known as the cash for clunkers was a three billion dollar
Yes, us federal scrappage program intended to provide economic
Incentives to us residents to purchase new more fuel efficient. Yes
Vehicle when trading in less fuel efficient cars
Yep, so give me 1500 bucks so I could spend 40 000 on a car
100 000, you know, I'm just gonna say what the fuck yeah, the math doesn't act no or add up on that
But it's the same thing. It's what these and look
Uh everyone
We're all democrats
What we are and we're all republicans. We have it's not it's not one or the other we
Most of us just lean one way or the other. I'm not we're not we're not
We dudes like us on this podcast. We're we're not uh, democratically inclined
We don't agree with a lot of their policies, but there are some policies we do agree with we do agree that there should be assistance for
Certain circumstances for that are imposed on you beyond your control and let's say it is
You know, there should be things set up some safeguards. You have your infrastructure, you know fire police national guard
Army marines navy, etc. You know outside of that
That's it. We don't need a whole all this fluff. That's where the democrats and the republicans differ
I kind of forget where I was going with that whole thing
But oh, I know is that the democrats keep coming up with all these additional programs
What else can we spend your money on their entitlements?
Yeah, it's like dude. I don't want you to spend money on anything. Stop giving shit away
I don't want to pay for other people's fucking college. I don't want to pay for the fucking cars
I don't want to pay for their fucking houses. Go fuck yourself. I already have cars. I can't afford a new one
I already have cars. I can't afford a new one. Right the whole the whole college thing's been shot down
Well, that's that's pretty much dead in the water and he's out. So he's not going to pursue that but that was not a
We're going to forgive your college debt. It's we're going to transfer your college debt to someone else, right?
Because those banks aren't going to go. Oh, yeah, that's what I mean. There's a transfer. It's not forgiveness
But it's a transfer of debt and quite honestly, it wasn't serious anyway
It was a ploy to get the young people votes. Correct. Well, I mean it wasn't a serious solution
Even a problem if it even if it did pass which there's a small chance they could have got funded for some of it
Some folks had their their some of their bills paid off. It wasn't even a pass. It was executive order
Yeah, some of them did it before they shot it down. My point is is that um
Fuck the point is is that they were uh, god damn it. I lost my train of thought
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry
I'm sorry
So along the lines of what the government should be responsible for it's probably what you're that's that's kind of that's exactly what i'm saying
But for that particular one, I was going to say that you know
Biden or those democrats have these relationships with these schools. So they're like, all right. Look, we're going to pay back
All the bills they have and you know, nother dame is making a killing like they all are
You know all are it's just like it's it's a money pit and
That's why I don't subscribe to it
I don't subscribe to a lot of the democratic policies because of that. I want to stop paying for that shit
Yeah, it's just like this
$25,000 for the house. Where's that coming from?
500 billion dollars 600 billion dollars that we're paying for immigrants right now. Did you hear that? That's that right?
No, i'm not well half a trillion dollars half a trillion dollars annually right now currently
We're spending on all these illegal immigrants that are coming here putting them up in hotels giving them back rubs giving them
Well the education the food the pickleball the free $25,000 credit card. This is why we have
35 trillion dollars worth of debt. There is no the congress
The congress politicians are not serious about solving any of these problems there. They're on board with spending more and more money because they're
They vote they buy votes, right? And that's how they stay in power
They're not serious about solving any of these problems
All right. Well speaking of problems of we have got to talk about this wonderful delicious. It is caramel. Hi, Hugh
stelum
bourbon whiskey
It is outstanding. Yes, we have had it before
I highly recommend it cast strength and it's actually 114 115
It is so easy to drink now
There has been some topics or questions and some discussion on when you open up a bottle of bourbon
And you you take your first couple drinks out of it and there leaves a little you know
Just below the shoulder and then it takes in some oxygen right and then it off gases even a little bit more
Well, this one changes it type of thing it does but not for the good you're suggesting
No, well this one turned out to be for the good. So what my point by saying that is that when you're on the top?
Third of the bottle there may be a little bit more potency as far as the alcohol kind of kind of taste
You know, you say oh, that's kind of ethanol. The second third is
Probably more of the anchor of what the the the bottle is and the bottom third
I think is a lot of those alcohol is not it's not necessarily gone, but it is gone the harsh
Yeah, it's so smooth. This is so sweet
It's it's like a cup of caramel. So the the intense which is which is really surprising for being 115
It's excellent. Well, I uh the honeysuckle I could pick that up 100%
The intense clove this the the nose of it is an intense clove in all spice
Mainly jump out of the glass supported by creamy macadamia nuts and light tobacco as the whiskey opens up
Sweet aromas of honeysuckle green apple nectarine begin to show rounded off by toasted rye and
Oh, good. You see they had the word moist in there all of this moist moist cream easy
So moist and creamy very nutty. Yeah, uh the palette walk us through that paul
Uh, well, it's moist and creamy and it's on the tip of my tongue
With a hint of vanilla marshmallow and cotton candy. Yes, the whiskey quickly transformed as it spreads across your tongue
Revealing spicy notes and black pepper cayenne pepper cinnamon baked apples
Wow, this is too much. The spice is supported by tart under ripe black really under ripe stone fruit god
Blackberry and apricot that contrast perfectly against the initial sweetness actually
You've heard me comment on how creative these people are trying to be but
It's excellent. I will say that what's the finish there jeff? Uh,
It says the finish. I think this is where you pick up without sweetness
At least I do. Yeah, the spiciness of the palette carries over into the finish with candy ginger. Yeah
And more black tell us more jeff. Tell us more
Before slowly faded into a syrupy sweet honey. Oh, yeah
Yes, just coats. Okay. This got really gross coats the uvula. Yes, it does
My vulva. All right with the additional water the yes
Your notes are subdued allowing for a sweet cinnamon srusul and stewed apples to come to the forefront of the palette
I pick up sweetness and it's got some nice decent viscosity
Good coatage sweet. I gotta tell you excellent. We this is excellent. Is it a blend?
Yes, it is a blend. Yep. It's a cast-strength blend. Does it tell us
What the blend is? I mean it does not none of that little bottle
They they're very lacking. Oh, actually mr producer. Can you check that website? See what it blunt?
What is blood? Is it a blend with like 10 year and four year and six year and eight years?
Well, I think it says right there right there. Tell us something. Oh, those are the awards
Older barrels from both kentucky and tennessee. They're folded in slowly. Oh, wow
I like I like my bourbon folded
Three so stella bourbon finds its flavors in the tension over of three indiana bourbon mash bills two of which are high rye
With the third being almost exclusively corn
Older barrels from both kentucky and tennessee are folded in slowly
So it's it's got mgp
So you mentioned that this uh, they did they buy this from jim beam you said no, that was the yamazaki is the distributor
Oh, oh, yeah, the beach suntory is distributed for yamazaki said something about the stella. These are well
These are three indiana bourbon mash bills
It's a blend of indiana bourbon. So not kentucky, but then they fold in
Tennessee, right? That's right. They fold it
I believe this is owned by panellope the same that's what you said panellope. There you go. I believe that's well
It they have a lot of the I can
See a trend or some similarities between them. Look this one. We got a rate. I'm going to tell you right now
It's it's and we need to create these different categories
Which ultimately we will as far as the proof wise go and just because they're different ratings
I mean the lower one like that yaka and the yamazaki
Uh, that one was super good. So it's just like it's I know it doesn't compare to this. No, no
It's just different. It's different for one thing. Yes, and what a price difference, huh?
That was 210. This was 50 or 60. Um, no, this was part of the package. Uh my bourbon of the month
Oh, are you saying we can't buy this one was this one was not this is what we bought another one
This is what we get from total wine. Yeah, I saw I saw this bottle at total wine. Yeah. Well just last friday
Yeah, well, this is good. I give it a
We always give them sevens, but no i'm going eight three on this. That's exactly what I was going with eight three. Yeah
It's good. So i'm gonna go eight three one eight three one five
I think we need to give start giving the exceptional ones like the rare characters and the stuff like that
That Austin put me down for eight five. Yeah, you're just trying to up us. No, no, no, there's nothing to do you eight six
Was it the stone fruit?
It was the under right the sweet caramel washing over your tongue
the moistness
creamy
All right, I don't think we can read this shit anymore. It's just just so dumb
Well, it's crazy. We say this every single time
When we look at exactly what it says and we start reading it the marshmallow I tasted
No, I know the abracadabra. I taste it the honeysuckle. Yeah, but anything they write you're gonna go. Yeah. Oh, yeah
Yeah, I think I taste that it's a mind fuck. It is is it though because we we look this was really this was exceptionally
Except I was I was very excited to have that what a fucking lineup today
With that first whiskey, which are not going to write that one, but we will on the upcoming one
