My chair's not right.
The Blues Brothers sang that song.
The Blues Brothers?
The Bird?
Ba ba ba ba ba ba umma ma ma umma ma ma ma.
Not the original, but they sang it.
Really?
Yes.
I used to play it up when I was a DJ.
On the radio I used to play that song.
Nice.
At the college.
At the university.
Correct.
Well well well.
Here we are.
Man.
I know we did the podcast last week right?
Yes.
Jackie Mack was here.
Just seems like it.
Jackie Mack.
That was a great guest.
Jackie.
Thank you for joining us last week.
That was a lot of fun.
I pretty much got the first one done and I'll get to the second one hopefully tomorrow.
Well she won't know.
Yeah.
We really impressed her before she hears this.
No this is true.
I was just impressed with how we impressed her with our Canadian geography knowledge.
Oh it was terrible.
What are you talking about?
It wasn't that bad.
It was bad.
We knew everything about Nova Scotia and the whole area.
I kind of knew.
I thought it had a couple more islands than we anticipated.
You said it was made up of thousands of islands.
Well the region does have thousands of islands.
You said Nova Scotia was an archipelago.
I kind of envisioned Nova Scotia kind of like Greece.
Just a compilation or a constellation of just a smack dab earth.
It's kind of like a thing hanging off the side.
God blew a few wads of earth onto the planet.
But I think you're right Jeff.
I think we made total Canadian geography fools of ourselves.
It's not our fault.
We've been jaded with all the political Justin Trudeau stuff.
We're kind of like eww look at you.
You're stupid.
Exactly.
They got a huge country.
Huge country.
Huge.
And 95 percent live in the first 50 miles.
Yeah because the rest of it is uninhabitable.
My brother describes when he went up to there was some mine up there and they landed on
a glacier and he had to wear this silvery jacket to rush him from the...
Silvery jacket?
You know silvery like they wear in Antarctica.
I don't know but they wear this kind of shit in Antarctica and then they gave it to him
immediately when he got off the plane and they kind of rushed him over to the little
igloo looking hut thing and... Did the boogers freeze in his nose?
I don't know.
You ever experienced that?
It's uninhabitable up there.
You ever experienced the boogers frozen in the nose?
I didn't grow up.
So how cold does it have to be when you throw a cup of water in there?
It's like by the time it hits the ground it's frozen mist.
Probably zero.
Negative 118.
You know I have had issues with the boogers freezing.
Also my hair freezing.
Your pubes?
Oh wow.
And I've never exposed that area.
And usually it's...
Sean put your pants back on it's too cold.
Damn it Edith get back in the cup.
Man my pubes broke.
Jesus this is the first half of the podcast too.
What the fuck man?
Alright what is today's date?
My pubes broke.
I'm going to send that to you.
Don't.
Please don't.
Alright.
Is today the 28th?
9th.
Alright dudes like us first half of the podcast.
Strange enough dudes like us.
I'm Sean.
I'm Paul.
And we want to share with our listeners out there.
They can check us out on dudeslikeus-podcast on Instagram or Facebook.
And if you're interested in some swag, some of our wood crafting stuff you can check us
out on dudeslikeus-woodcraft both on Facebook and Instagram.
This is the last week of October.
It is.
And lots of things.
We got a jam packed podcast with all kinds of topics.
We got October Halloween.
We got fall.
We got Halloween parties.
Political updates.
Voting.
You know register to vote.
This damn election needs to be fucking over with man.
What is this?
Seven days?
We got a week to go.
Well I mean so painful.
But the after election day is going to be just as fucking bad.
Because there's going to be so much turmoil.
Unless it's a blowout one way or the other.
I don't get how that's even possible.
I mean Jackie Mack brought up a good point.
You know that we've got so much technology out there that they can manage a fucking pack
of pencils being purchased.
And it arrives from point A to B to C to D all the way to your house.
And they keep track of it and it's always there.
How is it that they're fucking up our voting?
Because that's the private industry.
This is the government.
Bingo.
Government is highly inefficient.
And the Democrats are aren't they in charge of our voting?
Pretty much.
I mean well pretty much.
I mean hold on.
I thought they the Obama said well we made sure that we're we made sure that we're in
charge of all the voting stuff you know.
No I mean I think it's shared.
I mean it's whoever's in office.
I don't think that's true.
It's an elected office of where people are election administrators or whatever.
Because in the voting terminals.
The validators.
You know the guys that were there they were asking all the Republican volunteers to hey
you got to get out.
Yeah you're no longer you got to go.
Because they were like raising stinks.
Hey this doesn't look right.
Wait this doesn't look right.
There are in both parties there are poll watchers right.
Poll validators or whatever in both parties.
And I think whoever's in power.
You identify as a poll watcher.
I do.
Right.
You do a little touchdown Timmy.
Oh I do.
I mean are you hanging out in the boys locker rooms.
Yeah.
Are you throwing.
No I'm not a poll watcher like that.
I'm not a poll watcher at all.
It's usually really old decrepit people.
Like a wiener.
I don't know.
OK.
More like a rolly polly watcher.
Wow.
So anyways that's.
Anyway.
You went sideways on that one.
You did.
Now I lost my train of thought.
Oh well.
Touchdown Timmy.
No I don't think.
I don't think.
I think both parties are responsible whoever's in charge.
You know they have elected officials that are in charge of that.
I mean remember remember the big stink about Arizona.
The lady who was running against Kerry Lake.
Well the governor.
Right.
No.
She was running for governor but she ran the election.
That's right.
So that tells you whoever's in office is responsible for the you know the elections
you know systems.
But the Republicans that are in office have the same role.
Right.
So I mean and that's why they have poll watchers right.
So the other party is there to make sure no inappropriate shit's happening.
I mean this is a normal thing.
Well those poll watchers sucked last time.
They did.
Well.
There's a lot of shenanigans that appear to be happening and we don't know whether
it's true or not.
At the end of the day we don't know and this has been a common denominator with every
podcast we talk about this voting stuff is that there's a lack of trust.
There is.
That's.
I'll tell you what.
And on both sides.
The more I'm thinking about it though I am trusting I'm not saying I'm 100 percent there
but I trust the machines more than the actual people and the mail-in ballots and the write-in
ballots.
So it's not like the Dominion voting machines or the Scantron machines.
Whatever we used.
I don't know what we used.
Right.
I trust that more.
Well I'm kind of curious.
I mean can we get a breakdown of what type of voting machines that are placed around
the United States.
Each state is responsible for their own machines.
So Mr. Producer do we have Dominion voting machines in Texas?
We do not.
I don't believe we do.
I'm almost positive.
So where are they and is that a big thing?
I don't even know.
Are we buying Dominion?
I mean Dominion like you said.
We don't know a hundred percent Sean that Dominion is you know doesn't get it right.
I know that was a huge stink in the 2020 election but there were massive lawsuits about it.
But there was stuff going on with the Dominion voting machines that led to that belief.
The fact that they weren't supposed to be connected to the internet and they were connected
to the internet.
I know but there was a lot.
There was somebody offered a million dollars to go prove that that there was something
inappropriate.
But you know they've been they were hillaried.
You know if someone came up it's like these guys coming up with you know these solutions
to solve our fuel problems with the vehicles.
You know they figure out hey look at me I've got a vehicle I'm running it on the tap water
and look I can get from here all the way to over there.
And then seeing always fucking whacked.
Right.
He's gone.
So here's the thing you nailed it though.
Whether we whether it was or rigged or not rigged or if it you know all that kind of
stuff.
We no one trusts anything anymore.
And similar to the JFK assassination you know RFK brought it up or he was he was saying
you know hey well actually I don't know who exactly.
I think Joe Rogan podcast was talking with Trump saying are you going to release that
information.
And it was like our case said you know because everyone's been saying oh Biden said he was
going to release it.
Trump said he was going to release it.
And it turns out did you guys watch the Joe Rogan Trump interview.
I watched about an hour of it.
I did not.
So he had mentioned that as a Pompeo Pompeo came to Trump and said it's not a good idea
for you to really.
Really.
I did see this.
So it was just he was just kind of like yeah you know we want to kind of table this because
you know it's it's got those folks are still alive.
Yeah well you know.
Well again maybe a hot topic but I don't give a shit.
Who killed JFK.
Well here we're way past.
To me I don't care who killed JFK but that's not the point.
The point is is that it happens right here in the United States that our government was
compromised and our our sitting president was assassinated because of the deep state.
Right.
Period.
But do we know this.
Well that's what the whole thing is.
That's what it is it needs to come out before.
But there's people here that are alive that did it.
Well and to your point there's a there's that distrust of the deep state is alive and
well right now.
It is.
It is alive and well so you make a good point Sean if if we hear about it and the truth
comes out about it even though it was so long ago it would.
Doesn't matter.
It brings up the conversation of what the hell's going on with this deep state.
Deep state breeds deep state.
You know absolutely.
There's a hierarchy in there somewhere.
They have a stranglehold on this whole thing man.
I'm convinced.
You know it was interesting in the Joe podcast the interview with Donald Trump is that they
had mentioned about aliens and you know.
Oh man they covered all this stuff huh.
They did and look it didn't go anywhere and I got to tell you something.
I've been we're supporters of Trump and but we all at the same time think he's.
I don't like the way Trump answers a lot of these questions.
Sure.
He it's like he's too much.
It's dude just fucking answer the question.
He just he weaves.
Yeah.
Yeah that's that's what they call it.
They call it weaves.
Yeah.
Yeah it's like dude come on man.
It's just then that that's they brought up the word weaving.
He's like I'm weaving you know I'm like dude I don't need you to weave.
And then Rogan had to.
Yeah he had to drag him back right.
Joe Rogan had to keep bringing him back because he was not finishing the answer.
That's that's why I mean and look that's by design you know and it doesn't matter it
could be something super innocent like you know it doesn't matter if he answers that
right or wrong.
It's just like you know hey what kind of color socks that you are.
I think what's interesting is you know before you get into that office and before your eyes
are open to what's actually going on.
You may be like we need to let the whole world know but once you get in there you're like
fuck.
You can't let anybody know.
Yeah you find out how bad it really is.
And then you get really really good advice about what it will do.
Yeah you're like we can't.
Let's not go there right.
Yes we can't do this.
So we'll see.
Right.
We'll see.
I did like the comments when they're talking about the whales and Trump says that he wants
to be a whale psychologist.
I mean some of the stuff that these these environmentalists are doing are absurd.
Like you know they're like well they're wanting to anything against Elon Musk.
You know him launching these rockets out in space and they're like oh the shock waves
are disrupting the the seals and we need to make sure.
So they were like I need you to strap on some headphones to those seals out there and make
sure they're not being heard.
And he shows a picture of these fucking seals with these ridiculous headphones on there.
You know it's super loud.
I'm like why are you torturing that animal.
Well how ridiculous is that.
That's what Trump was saying was like hey look you know what stops us the most getting some
of these projects done.
Period.
Are these environmentalists that will go in there and say hey you know what there's a
specific plant or there's a seal or what was the other one with outdoor motorboats on the
northeast killing whales.
Killing the right whale.
Yeah you're only allowed you're not allowed to go a certain speed.
It's like you can't go more than 30 knots.
They're like yeah it's gonna take me a week to get anywhere.
Like the boats that go up and down the coast.
Yes.
Like yeah we can't sustain that.
Yeah he said they're talking about the windmills off the northeast.
Oh that's apparently killing whales.
And they're like.
And they're washing up like in droves.
They said what it is it's causing the vibrations which is fucking with their sonar and everything
right.
So they're killing themselves.
The whales have a have a very unique method of communication.
It's the they have such a low frequency.
That they can communicate almost through the earth.
Not directly 100 percent through the earth but through large slivers of the earth right
through it.
That low frequency just travels right through.
I think it is something they should look at.
I mean the people who are whale experts are like shit man.
They're dying in abnormal rates.
And that happened after they built this offshore wind farm.
So there's got to be some truth to that.
Well it's a sustainable energy that everyone's going for.
There's always a consequence.
Well first off it's not sustainable but yeah.
Well you know what I mean.
Yeah I know.
I know.
I hear you.
It's not it's not coal but you know when you burn coal you got to dig it up and you got
to burn it.
Well this you got to mount these things and you're going to kill birds you're going to
kill whales.
There's always a price to pay.
Which one.
Right.
Flip a coin.
Which one do you want.
Right.
I would do the one that has you know less impact and provides more energy.
That'd be coal.
And gas.
By far.
By far coal and gas.
Yes.
Anyway.
Dominion voting systems will operate in Florida.
It says right here.
And that was.
So one state.
October 25th.
Well I mean you know it just says this was a debunking viral claims.
Fact checks posted.
Dominion voting systems will operate in Florida contrary to online claims.
So if they operate in Florida where else are these Dominion voting machines operating.
I don't know.
But getting back to the windmills.
I remember when was it RFK.
Yes.
Oh he's very much against.
He was a big environmentalist.
And they were putting in the windmills but they're going to put it off of Martha's
Vineyard or wherever it is where he's up there.
Right.
And he's like yeah you can't put those out there because I'm going to see them.
Right.
Well yeah none of the people that live on that beach want want to look at that over
the ocean.
Right.
I mean.
So they want this for everyone else except for you.
I know.
So.
Anyway.
All right so a couple interesting things about the early voting right.
So early voting is off to a hot start apparently across the nation.
Like everybody's claiming.
It's like 25 percent of the votes.
Right.
I know like huge numbers right.
And they always say oh that's good for Trump or that's good for Harris or.
I haven't heard anything.
Oh massive numbers.
Yeah.
But I haven't heard any calculations yet.
Any tallying of.
Well I don't think they could tally yet but they know a Republican voted or a Democrat
voted.
I think that's it.
Anyway.
So.
To show an ID right.
And you're registered Democrat or Republican.
I don't think they've released independent.
I don't think they've released any numbers of how many Republicans or Democrats.
They're simply saying how many how many votes have been capped.
Now they have a broken down by.
Oh do they.
I didn't see that.
I've never seen that.
That's good.
It's on CNBC or MSNBC.
One of them has a good breakdown.
They have it by state.
And how and how close is it.
I mean like how.
I know it's more.
Oh it is.
It's OK sir.
They're early voters.
But they're saying Republicans are significantly higher than in the past.
Than in the past.
OK.
Yeah.
Interesting.
Well I know I know Stephen has voted.
Your son has voted Jeff and Austin our producer voted today.
Oh outstanding.
And.
I think your son voted for the presidential election.
The first.
Yeah my youngest.
That was his first presidential election.
He's voted in a city or state one before.
But we our whole family went together.
It's kind of fun.
We went to.
Well it was my also my birthday celebration.
Right.
So those last Tuesday we went you know.
Do you have like little horns.
We just had the hats.
You know the pointy little hats.
But no we went to.
We went and voted the five of us.
And then we went to folk of the child.
And I got to say.
Hold on.
Well you went to folk of the child.
I did.
And I got to say I was not impressed.
It was really really really expensive.
Yes it is.
Really expensive.
I knew it was going to be.
But I was expecting like to be like so happy.
And I kind of wasn't.
Well they had a knack of walking around and pandering their bacon wrapped chicken breasts.
The lowest cost.
And just kind of all this stuff to fill you up on a bunch of bullshit.
Actually it was the opposite.
They brought around tons of you know rib eye and filet and they brought around all these
meats and eventually I was like are they going to bring some chicken.
So it was actually.
Well no but what I want is show me the beef ribs.
Show me the prime rib.
I don't think they brought either one of those.
Do they have beef ribs there?
They do.
I've never had the beef ribs.
I've never.
I never saw that.
You got to ask for it.
They're not going to volunteer that.
Interesting.
Is it like a full like two pound beef rib.
I don't know how much they bring out but you know it's a big old.
Like at Hutchins?
That's a big.
They bring that thing out.
A little skewer.
I'm salivating.
Who was sharing that story?
It was Jamie right?
Or no.
Who was our guest was from.
James.
Yeah.
James Grissom.
Yeah he was he was sharing the story of how he got the rib and he was like oh shit he
had he was like a seventy two dollar rib.
Oh yeah.
Yeah I've been to.
Hutchins was forty nine bucks for the last time I went there.
Yeah Fogatachow.
I wouldn't do it again.
Once here I've been disappointed then.
I've been to the one in Mexico City was outstanding.
Really.
Yes.
I sir.
The food was better.
They have a better class of Turkish pants that they were.
I didn't notice the pants.
You didn't look at the pants.
Yeah they're not Turkish.
I believe it's Argentinian or Brazilian.
Maybe in.
I thought they were Turkish.
No it's Brazilian steakhouse.
Yes I think that's right.
It's not Turkish.
I wouldn't go again.
I think that was that was the last time I'll go there.
Yeah they have another one.
They have a few different ones around but I've been I've been the one here in Plano.
Yeah.
Disappointed.
That's when we all went that one time.
Yeah that was a long.
That was for Valentine's Day.
Yeah and it was so packed and I was so disappointed.
The meat was just.
Yeah.
Yeah I could I could come up with.
It's like 80 weeks ahead or something like that.
Yeah dude I mean what.
Is that it.
Well it was sixty five.
I thought it was more than that.
It was sixty five for the for the kind of all you can eat plate or whatever when they
come around.
Right.
Yeah.
So I mean it was.
Did you get salad.
We did not much.
I'm not.
I try not to fill up on that.
Right.
The Shelly was she contesting it.
I remember the last time we went summer she would be happy.
No no no.
Well for one thing she got a gift card to Fogo to chow.
So we were like oh we might as well use it.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Should that cover the tip.
Maybe barely.
Whatever man it was a good experience.
She had a good time.
It was.
We had a pretty good meat out there.
It was fun.
It was good.
It was.
I'm just saying for the cost I probably I never walked away from Fogo they chow unhappy and
the last one I was when we all went maybe the quality of the food was not the same.
You know maybe not worth the money but I've always enjoyed the food and you know you know
I kind of wish they they kind of skim sometimes I bring it up the whole thing you know you
got to ask for the beef rib.
In fact the last time we all went together I asked they were like we were bringing out
and they never brought it out like sir.
So can you keep your voice down.
We don't want anybody.
It's OK.
I brought my own.
That'd be funny wouldn't it.
You have a little charcoal grill.
Coleman grill.
Yeah.
You got to heat it back up.
So you can't cook out here.
Well I mean it's already cooked.
You just throw the sous vide for me back there.
Yeah Texas Day Brazil is another one.
Julie and I have been there.
That was the first one I went to and it was good.
That's the one in Addison right.
Yeah.
I've been to a work lunch on that one.
Actually I remember that one being pretty good.
So I don't know.
It was good.
Anyway so that was that was our voting experience but I was going to ask you guys so there's
been a couple little there's been a couple incidents around the nation with the early
voting.
Somebody lit some some election boxes on fire or ballot.
I don't know what the motivation was.
They haven't caught the person yet.
So this was in Washington and Oregon and they had a they lit the ballot boxes on fire and
they could just be pure anarchists because they exist out there.
That's true.
Could just be pure anarchists who are like I'm against the government.
I'm going to burn these.
So you're on the other side.
Right.
And you can't assume because typically they vote liberal up there.
Right.
For the most part.
So you can't assume that it's some some conservative psycho that it could be.
But I think more in line it's probably some antifa anarchist type of person.
Yeah.
You might be right.
You might use whose anti-government who just wants to throw a wrench in the.
Yeah.
They could be just.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Throw a wrench in the process kind of create that's what they call terrorism.
You know.
This is actually the definition of terrorism.
Anytime you want to to detour a political event or something like that, that's that's
pure terrorism.
So whomever they catch.
And you know what?
Frankly, I think that these voting booths, whatever they are, or a little ballot harvesting
or drop boxes, they need to be monitored.
They need to be manned.
Yeah.
Well, you know, they need at least.
Oh, I saw you leaning.
I was like, what are you doing over there?
I thought you're going to rip ass.
I think they should be manned.
Yeah.
Well, manned.
And at the very least, slap some cameras up there, you know, and I think they've done
that.
That's how they're like they're going after whoever did that.
They have some information about it.
If they at least have cameras out there, then then they can catch them coming and going.
And then, you know, one ballot per person have a rule on there.
You can't be fucking harvest balloting and throwing a bunch in there.
Satchel floor.
They just sit there and just dump them all in there.
So that's that's the other thing I was going to bring up.
So apparently in Pennsylvania, which is they're saying if you win Pennsylvania, you win the
race.
Right.
That's there is more like that for.
I know.
But they said that many, many times in this election.
I don't know.
They're also talking about electoral landslides either way.
So it's like retarded.
But anyway, so apparently the three I know three different batches were large batches
of ballots were dropped off at the election office or whatever.
And any time large batches come in like that, they're like, it's suspicious because they
don't normally get get it like that.
Right.
And so they started looking through them.
And sure enough, they found the same handwriting over and over and over again.
Do what?
Who are they voting for?
You know what?
They didn't say at least maybe I don't remember in the article which which side it
was.
But anyway, I mean, I think that stuff has always happened.
Right.
And I think it's definitely a cheating strategy now is to harvest ballots and just fill them
in with the same handwriting.
I love to see that they're on top of it and they're monitoring that.
And they always have.
Right.
They always have been looking for that kind of stuff.
It just was, you know, during 2020, it was like a heightened heightened sensitivity
thing.
But yeah, well, the one good thing that I'm glad that I have not received is a ballot
for my father.
Right.
So I was half as expecting a Nevada ballot to show up at my because we had always mail
forwarded here.
Right.
So I guess we could still make it, but I mean, it's next Tuesday.
I would think that those would have gone out well back.
So but you were going to photocopy it and then you were going to like a thousand times
we were all going to fill it out and we all sit instead of doing podcasts.
We were going to sit here and fill it out.
Yeah.
Right.
So I was I was half that kind of I mean, just I wouldn't be surprised if it showed up
or that way.
Yeah, it hasn't.
So that's good.
That is good.
He's been he's been taken off that was it the voter roll.
Right.
They should.
I mean, they should be monitoring and managing and purging and, you know, although it should
be because when you pass away, the funeral home notifies the government.
Yes.
Which is your Social Security and all that stuff.
And it trickles down from there.
Yeah.
To all that stuff.
So they stop Social Security payments and all that good stuff.
Right.
So interesting.
So you don't go to a funeral home with your with a corner, your deceased parent.
Well, then the coroner would do it.
See, that's what they do.
That makes sense.
So people like their grandmother dies or something, and they put them in the floor freezer in
the garage so they could keep voting and they keep getting their Social Security checks.
Correct.
That happens.
It does.
There's a lady who just got caught.
Where was she?
Like last week, her parents.
Oh, yeah, I remember that her parents were dead for like three years.
Oh, my.
And she just left them in the house.
And she was collecting the checks.
She just shut off the door.
Yeah.
The authorities came to the door.
They're like, yeah, she knew she was busted.
Yeah, she did.
She didn't know what she got.
Yeah.
I don't know what she did with them.
Put them in a chest or something.
I don't know.
I.
Hold on.
Why did police come to the door?
What tipped them off?
Somebody hadn't seen them in a year and you're wondering where they were?
Maybe.
Unbelievable.
Yeah, she just she just got busted for that.
Where is this?
It was here in the state somewhere.
I don't know exactly where it was.
In Texas, huh?
Yeah.
Where was it at, Mr. Producer?
Yeah, we.
What state was that lady busted for hiding her dead parents?
Did you ever think you'd say a comment like that?
Well, people are fucking ruthless.
Where they hide their dead parents?
Well, she she murdered them.
Oh, what?
Virginia McCullough knew why the police had smashed through her front door.
But part of her part of her wondered why it took them so long to discover she had murdered
her parents.
Cheer up.
We've caught the bad guy.
She calmly told the officers handcuffing her neighbors thought that John and Louis Lewis
McCullough had retired to the seaside.
But the reality was they were callously poisoned by their daughter.
Why did she do it?
And it goes on.
The goings on inside the McCullough family home in the great Badau near Chelmsford, Essex
were becoming increasingly secretive in 2019.
Relatives were asked to stay away and friends were told that Mr. and Mrs. Cullough had retired
to the Clacton area of Essex Sunshine Coast.
The true the gruesome reality was very different.
It would be four years before anyone found out the horror that took place behind the
closed doors that pump help.
John McCullough retired businessman studies of lecturer had been fatally poisoned and
the 70 year old body was hidden in a crudely built tomb made out of breeze blocks and blankets.
The corpse.
Breeze blocks.
I don't know how those are like for breeze.
Just breeze.
The best that smell.
I can say no that's the root.
That's the issue.
The corpse of his 71 year old wife, Lois was stashed behind sleeping bags in an upstairs
wardrobe.
How do you get how do you get around the stench?
The smell.
That's the whole thing.
Mrs. McCullough had been battered with a hammer and stabbed.
But she too had also been poisoned with prescription medication administered by her daughter.
Virginia McCullough 36 was handed a life sentence in the Chelmsford Crown Court for their murders
to serve a minimum of 36 years on Friday.
What the hell?
And all and all this was just to get their social security benefits and you obviously
by the house.
Obviously you hate them like something went something with.
Yeah.
But yeah you know but when people get greedy and want money they get weird get really.
Yeah they do stupid shit.
I mean look how many families break apart when somebody dies and somebody didn't get what
they were supposed to.
Oh yeah.
I mean and then they lifelong rifts and.
Oh it is you know.
My sister and I we worked extremely well together.
You know we knew what my dad wanted and both of us honored that.
Right.
But you have people.
That kill you and stuff you in a sleeping bag.
Well like if they're the executors of the trust or the will or whatever.
You know it's like yeah I'm keeping it all.
And they can do it.
I know it's crazy.
And they do and it's you know or they move into you know like I could have moved into
his house.
Right.
They just live there and said yeah suck it.
You know right.
I could have done anything about it.
But you know come on have some respect.
I said some neighbors of Mr. Hastings and Miss Pollard said that McCullough had pretended
to be pregnant at one point even creating a fake bump under her clothing.
Oh so she's mentally ill.
She's a psycho.
She stared at the floor emotionalist.
It was only when she listened back to her interview with the police describing how she
murdered her mother that she began to weep.
She looked so innocent and she was just there listening to the radio.
McCullough told the officers I did it in three times to build up some gumption.
But I don't know what gumption means.
But I knew I had to get it done.
Courage.
And she can't hesitate.
She was staring at me in disbelief when it occurred.
Well yeah my daughter's killing me.
She's coming with a hammer for crying out loud.
Unbelievable.
Well you know it wouldn't be the first time.
Oh no.
It's been happening throughout history.
It happens in any it's all about power.
You know I mean the you know Dems, Republicans you got the not even the monarchies.
You know the kings and queens and you know who's going to be the king next.
Well Henry VIII killed how many wives?
Right.
I mean look at Game of Thrones.
I mean.
That's real.
Yeah.
They had dragons.
Yeah dragons.
That's totally real.
I mean they're you know they're fighting over the dragon queen.
I mean who's going to take that position.
Oh I'm the leader of the summer world.
Well that's what it is.
You remove the dragons and the mystical part of that.
I mean that's just old medieval bullshit.
Yeah same stuff.
Yeah.
It's crazy you know it's all about power.
It's the struggle to keep it and maintain it.
And power.
Yeah.
And let's just let's just harvest this matrix system of the United States citizen.
Oh yeah.
You got some loud stuff going on.
You got somewhere to be.
I do.
Oh yeah.
Okay.
Looks like we're wrapping up early tonight folks.
Adios.
All right well.
Mo-fos.
Wow.
All right well there's some other.
We all voted.
What?
Yeah we all voted.
That was exciting.
Yeah both my boys voted.
Julie voted before all of us did.
Even my wife voted today.
That's good.
And she comes back.
I'm sorry yesterday.
Why even?
Like she doesn't vote?
Well she's completely disconnected with politics.
Oh okay.
You know and she's just like I don't care and she just doesn't care.
She absolutely doesn't care.
She is an ostrich.
Good for her.
She's probably a happier person because of it.
Whatever you know.
But she comes home from work and she's like hey I just want to let you know I voted and
I did just what you told me to.
I went down there and whatever it said D-E-M right before the name I clicked all those
buttons.
And she watched my face contort and I was kind of like are you fucking kidding me?
She's like I just negated your vote.
That's what I did.
And then we also had propositions in our town here.
Yeah Mr. Producer can you pull up the propositions for the Frisco?
It was a lot.
Do you have them there?
It was a lot of money.
Yeah it was a lot of money.
It was a billion dollars.
I voted against all of it.
I voted for Prop A.
I did too.
As for the teacher salaries, you still need to attract good teachers.
Yes.
That's important.
The surrounding cities are poaching them.
Yeah they're poaching them and ramping up the game.
I think teachers need to be paid more anyway across the board.
We should need a proposition to do that though.
That's sad.
Well the state doesn't provide the monies that they used to.
There were some changes a few years back.
That's withholding it first because of, I think he's holding it as ransom because of
the school voucher debate.
That's what my wife said.
I don't know either.
I don't know.
I can't speak effectively on that.
I didn't know much about that specific one but what else are they including in the teacher
raises?
Well that's it.
The voter was-
That's the single thing.
No that was A.
That was A.
Part of A is specifically teachers salary only.
Salaries yes.
Not earmarked with anything hidden.
I think the next one, Prop B, probably had a shit ton of pork.
That was a billion dollars by itself.
A billion dollars to retrofit 25 campuses that were, or 26 campuses that were over 25
years old.
But damn a billion dollars.
I think that needs to be looked at to see how that's going to work.
Proposition B, the facility upgrades bond includes 25 year campus refreshes at 20 schools.
20 schools.
Oh there's the cost right there.
Daily middle school replacement.
They want to build a brand new middle school.
Furniture and equipment.
General facility maintenance.
No that'd be $120 million.
Oh that's a good point.
Paving and landscape repairs, safety and security upgrades, transportations, replacement turf,
and physical costs.
I'm sorry they don't need new turf.
Fuck.
They've got turf and buses and landscaping and paving.
Wester has received like three new tracks since I've lived here.
Really?
Yes.
Why do they keep building shitty ones?
Why do they keep replacing it?
What are they doing wrong with it?
I don't know.
That's what I'm wondering.
I mean I don't know.
I mean they keep doing it.
Centennial's got a new track.
I'm just like why do you have to keep replacing this?
What's wrong with the fucking turf?
There's no way that passed.
$986 million?
There's no way that passes.
I don't know how they even thought that they could pass that.
Now I may be totally wrong.
Now some of it is for new buses, transportation.
That's important.
They need to break this out more.
They do.
They need to break it out more.
And you have to vote for or against.
Yeah.
So what's kind of bullshit for me to take a sidestep from this proposition is there are
a lot of times where the city will come in and says hey we're going to vote for this.
You guys have to come and show up to vote against it.
Otherwise we're going to go ahead and do it.
Like the default is yes.
Right.
Yeah.
Pretty much.
When does that happen?
Like the highway 121 for example.
Oh the toll road?
The toll road.
It wasn't a toll road.
It's a state highway.
121 is a state highway.
Correct.
Then they came in and says hey we're going to make this a toll.
You guys are going to vote.
If you don't want it you know you're going to show up to vote.
So you got these people that show up and they I mean come on.
They should have never done that.
Oh but we're going to maintain it.
We're going to do this.
Nah dude you're going to fuck us.
You're going to take more money and that's all we are.
It's a private company.
It is.
It's a forward company.
I know it was Mexican when I first.
I thought it was Saudi Arabia.
I thought when they first built it it was a Mexican company.
I thought it was Italian.
No it's not Italian.
It's one I think it's absolutely Saudi Arabia.
That was the buzz with the Dallas North tollway.
Look that up Mr. Producer.
It's a continuous buzz.
The NTT who owns it.
But they're not going to say.
NTT doesn't own.
No no who owns the 121 toll.
They own the toll tax.
121 tollway.
The toll tax but not the road.
Well the roads belong to the United States citizens.
But the whole toll process is going overseas somewhere.
Yes.
Saudi Arabia owns.
And apparently Saudi Arabia.
It's worth the money going.
Or Mexico.
No I'm almost certain Saudi Arabia.
We have three different answers.
Oh you're right.
It says NTT.
I guess they do.
I was wrong.
NTT.
Oh.
The owns and operates the same rate.
I don't think they used to though.
I didn't think they did either.
Okay all right.
So okay that was not always the case.
I can promise you.
It's evolved.
It's kind of what I'm getting at.
It must have been sold back to NTT.
It must have been.
Because when it was first built.
That's a Texas.
Yes.
Government thing.
Correct.
Well that's a Saudi Arabian thing.
And that is.
I don't know about Saudi Arabia.
Man look.
Who owns NTT?
Yeah look at it.
They're not going to say that.
Who owns NTT?
I'd be surprised.
Hopefully they will.
Well they have to.
That's publicly public information.
Right.
It says political subdivision.
State of Texas.
I don't believe that.
So you're saying that all of our money for the NTT goes to NTT.
Right.
So that's a political subdivision.
State of Texas.
I don't believe that.
So you're saying that all of our money for the NTT goes to NTT.
Right.
So that's a political subdivision.
State of Texas.
NTT goes back to the Texas state.
Yes.
Yeah.
And then they use it to expand it and build it farther north to 380 and past.
And they widen it and they do really expensive landscaping every year.
I mean all that kind of shit man.
Alright well maybe I'm wrong.
I think I'm, I don't think I'm wrong.
I think you were, I think when the 121 first opened it was owned by a foreign company.
Absolutely true.
I think NTT must have purchased that back.
So there's something a Fort Worth report, does Chinese own North Texas tollways?
It says no.
Chinese companies own steaks in it.
Hmm interesting.
Steaks in it.
Yeah.
Like meat?
Yeah like, or like the one you hammer in the ground.
Steaks in or rice?
Rice?
To the, rice.
Steak and rice.
Steaks and rice.
Rice in the North Texas.
Look I'm telling you man this shit's shady.
It makes you wonder.
It does.
Well is NTT a, is it a public company?
It's not a public company is it?
No.
It's a political subdivision of the state of Texas authorized to acquire constructments.
How does China own part of that?
I don't think they do.
Well it clearly says that on the Fort Worth report put out earlier this year.
Everybody's lying about everything.
Well we don't believe Fort Worth.
I know.
Man I don't believe any, that's just it man.
I can't trust anything anymore.
You don't know what's going on with the web, the internet.
It's just like it's all bullshit.
And it's just like this one is getting shown.
You know what?
We drive on that toll road every single, well people drive on that toll road, thousands of
people drive on it.
It generates a gazillion dollars.
Gazillion.
You know?
Really, really the purpose of a toll road is to build the road.
And then when you're done.
And then you're supposed to remove the tolls.
Yes.
That's right.
Like when, I remember that was a big deal when I lived in New Jersey and they made this
specific road, a toll road, and they were like, hey, we're going to collect money and
then we get enough money, then the toll will go away.
And now they're kind of like, eh, you know what?
We're going to build the road and then, you know, oh, guess what?
We're going to maintain this a little bit.
We're going to do, instead of doing the 75 cents, we're going to do 25 cents and we're
going to maintain the road.
Dude, the Dallas North Tollway has been a tollway for what?
30 years?
More than that.
It's bullshit.
40 years?
I've been here for 30 years.
It was here when I got here.
It's bullshit.
It's money and it's criminal.
Well, but hold on.
But they are extending the tollway all the way past 380 into, into, and they need to,
they need to, because that shit's going crazy up there.
They want to do a super highway is the big, uh, the big picture.
Down to Houston, right?
They want to do a super highway to the freaking.
No, they're going north.
They're not going south.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, the super highway is supposed to go all the way to the north, all the way
to fucking Montana.
Yep.
Into the, the, uh, the glaciers.
The great blue, uh, in the Northland territories.
You guys ever watch the, uh, strange brew?
I think take off a, yeah, take off.
God, apparently you've seen it.
That was a good Russian.
What the hell?
No, I don't think I know you, you, you, you get a new job and they had the guy that did
the sound for Warner brothers that did the bugs bunny.
Oh yeah.
No blank.
Yeah.
Fucking hilarious.
Take off your hoser.
Is it a movie?
It's a movie.
I think I had Rick Moranis in it.
More anus producer.
Maybe a little strange brew.
I think I've seen it.
Yeah.
I saw it a shit ton when I first came out.
It was, it was fun.
It was funny back in.
Oh yes.
I don't know if it holds up.
See if there's any sound bites.
Oh sure.
That's where I learned the word toboggan means a hat.
I was a three minute intro behind granite battlements.
So these guys roll up in a van.
It's a beer brewery.
That's main commercialist.
Elsinore beer.
I don't think I've seen it.
These guys get a job there.
Evidently they take the beer.
Oh my god.
This is stupid.
Oh it's absolutely stupid but it's a sign of the times where they're trying to gain
access to this place.
So that's where.
God it's really old.
Oh yeah.
Like early ages.
You get drowned out there.
That's private company business.
Perhaps one of these would refresh your memory.
What if these would refresh your memory?
She takes it.
He farted.
Yeah I thought it was a classic SNL kind of script.
I think it was an SCTV Canadian version of SNL.
And they expanded it.
Oh man dude it was back in the time where these 80's movies were popping out and it
was just funny.
It was stupid funny.
I loved it.
You know as a kid you watched it and they had the video games that came out and you
know it's just like the hockey and the beer and the donuts and the farting.
It was classic.
It was great teenage boy humor.
Yeah that's perfect.
Which you still enjoy today.
I watch it right now.
You should sit and watch it with Shelly this weekend.
We're watching Strange Brew in our Airbnb in Oklahoma.
She's got an early like you know pull the rip cord.
Julie does too.
Yeah we were watching the life of Brian.
We did not make it very far.
When you guys are driving on your long excursion she could pop in some VR glasses and watch
any movie she wants.
Right.
Yeah that sounds like a good idea.
She could have just sit there and it's like oh.
You know Stevie Wonder's on the back of that bike.
Weird.
You know with these VR glasses you could see kind of the.
I think the ones they have now they have cameras on the front.
Yeah there's some peripheral vision that you have through the cameras in the front of those
VR glasses.
So you could see similar environment.
But fuck man if you're on the back of the bike what is she's like holding on to you.
Hold me Paul.
She's in a sidecar.
It's just like whatever.
She's whispering in my ear I love you so much.
But she's got a helmet on.
I just love you and.
Oh that's true.
But getting back to we really got on a tangent.
She's got a strap on.
The propositions for Frisco.
What the hell man.
Sideways on that.
The other one is there's two more.
Oh yeah.
One is for technology updates which was 90 million dollars.
That's legit man.
Technology gets obsolete so fast and everything is technology for these kids right.
All the laptops and this and that and all that kind of bullshit.
It's a five year rotation so 90 million dollars every five years.
I voted yes for that one.
I did.
Yeah but what does that include.
Chromebook.
Chromebooks.
Come on.
For who?
And new mice.
You have to have new mice every year.
They have the little mouse pad stick thing.
So you're telling me that each one of these kids gets their own Chromebook.
I don't know.
Guys I'm sure it's more complicated than that.
Here's my problem with this.
OK look I don't mind condoning the Chromebook but you got to pick your fucking battles here.
You know don't be giving the kids a bunch of textbooks that cost a gazillion dollars
if you're giving them.
They don't use textbooks anymore.
But they do in college.
They don't.
No they don't.
Yeah they do.
Are you kidding me.
Of course they do.
No they banned them.
Oh shut up.
That's not true at all.
Yeah.
No what I'm saying.
Well high school, first of all anyway, they don't use textbooks anymore.
They'll have classroom books that you will use in class and you put it back on the shelf.
Here's.
So you don't take.
Each kid does a different book.
But that's my point is that they're spending money on books in the classrooms regardless
where they take it home or not.
It's a waste of fucking money.
Period.
Well my wife uses them.
She has a specific book.
That's where her, a lot of her.
Yes.
Her notations.
Lessons come from.
Yeah right.
And you know they'll sit there and they'll do.
I think teachers need to have that stuff but the kids should have it digitally set in front
of them.
It's a waste of money.
It's a total waste of money and it's a ripoff.
I don't think it's a waste of money but I think it's good to have the kids use books.
Why.
I'd rather them use books than a Chromebook.
Why.
It works better in my opinion.
So here's my problem.
Just like the other one.
I'm going to elaborate on this.
Go ahead and do your point.
Well okay.
Well what I was going to say is it's the same problem.
The same problem as B. We don't know what they're spending.
$88.2 million on.
All it says is replacement devices.
To go back on what he's talking about.
The book thing versus.
Because first of all look.
I agree with you.
I don't like looking at a digital.
I have a difficult time reading digital.
However, that's because we're old farts.
I think the kids don't have that problem because I will tell you with my job.
I'm like one of the few that actually.
That should be the case.
I have.
I'm one of the few that actually has to document things on real paper and I use Manila folders.
Oh wow.
And I've got these other guys that are like 20, 30, 40 years old.
They're like hey I got my little tablet here that's doing shit and I'm looking.
I've got like a fucking file cabinet full of folders back here that I'm going through
and they're like why don't you just like use this stuff.
So I think that's what it is.
But that could be.
You know it could be right.
This is.
It doesn't piss me off.
It disappoints me that because my kids are still going to college right now and yours
is still some of them right.
One Brody will be maybe.
But it doesn't matter.
It's ridiculous on how much they're cost for books.
Right.
Yeah.
College.
It's ridiculous.
College books are stupidly expensive.
They always have been.
Even when I was going to school it was like another racket.
Why am I spending three hundred dollars on this biology book.
It's a you wrote Mr. Professor.
Right.
You know why.
Because you're getting royalties for it.
Crazy.
You know.
So I agree.
The college bookstore is is it's always been a racket.
Again all of 40 years ago when I was all college is a racket.
And you know like this like you said 90 million dollars.
All right.
A network update for who.
Right.
Additional wireless access points.
I mean where in every single school.
I don't know.
The admin building.
That's the problem.
They're not they're not giving us enough information to make an educated decision about it.
So I voted no.
I voted yes.
I voted no on everything except for a and then prop D is a big fat no for me.
A spectator seating to it outdoor tennis or a 12 million dollar tennis center 16 16 outdoor
tennis courts spectator seating concessions and restrooms.
Let me ask you something.
Pass.
Why why is the Frisco ISD worrying about this.
Why wouldn't a private because all the parents want to play tennis.
No no but why wouldn't a private entity.
You know look at look at Dr. Pepper across from the doctor Dr. Pepper soccer soccer field.
Yeah there's like a bajillion soccer fields and guess what.
People are using them and you know what I mean.
You pay to use them type of thing.
Why wouldn't they do the same damn thing for a tennis court scenario.
I agree.
They have a badman facility for crying out loud.
Right.
I mean this is crazy man.
I mean I don't know.
What it is is the tennis folks are all pissed off that the pickleballers are taking over
the local courts.
So they want one that is they can control.
Yes and can lock out all the old farts.
Yes.
You know that's gonna be us someday.
We're gonna be pickleball champions.
I know it.
We're gonna have our own backyard dudes like us pickleball.
Oh when we tournament when we go viral.
I've never played pickleball.
Is that the first thing we can do is build a pickleball.
That's gonna say dudes like us.
Yes.
The first thing I'm gonna do is fucking quit.
Really everything.
Oh oh you quit your job.
I'll just quit everything.
I thought you said.
Focus on 100 percent of my attention on this.
Yeah me too.
And cameras.
By the way we're looking for sponsorships.
If you guys are interesting for a dudes like us moment so we can get some videos.
We are close to transitioning to video.
This is a huge thing for us.
Correct.
To be clear transitioning doesn't refer to a Kamala Harris Venezuelan prison camp where
we're trans transitioning these dudes into women so they can go and rape more people
in the women's prisons.
Wow you got dark on that one.
What the hell.
That's what they're doing.
Did you hear about this shit.
No I don't want to.
It's absolutely 100 percent real.
I think I am going to unplug for the next six days seven days.
That's brutal.
I may literally turn off.
I mean they are they're sitting there and they're just they're just hammering about
he's a Nazi Nazi Nazi and that's like in the whole Madison Square Garden.
Oh it's very reminiscent of the 1939 Nazi rally.
It's like shut the fuck up.
It has nothing to do.
What was different with that rally than any other rally he had.
Was it the fact that it was at the MSG.
Yes that's it.
That's it.
Hundred percent.
And other people have Bill Clinton.
It's a rally there and and an FDR had a rally there and all sorts of people have had rallies
there since 1939.
They ever bring up that shit.
Do the Trump derangement syndrome has reached levels of like absolute just just just insanity.
They can't they don't know what to do with themselves.
They can't and every every title of every of every article by by all of them.
You know pulling out all stops the last week.
You're free.
I expect this next week is just going to be fucking chaos.
Just they're freaking out and I cannot believe they're going to get are going to call straight
out for someone to kill him.
You kill him.
That's what they're trying to do now.
They're calling him a Nazi without specifically saying they're calling a dictator.
No they're explicitly flat out called him a Nazi.
They're not explicitly saying somebody's go kill him.
They're not saying that but they're saying he's a dictator.
But some of these guys that are are humanitarians in the eyes of the Democrats is like hey I
got to take one for the team.
If this guy is a Nazi and this guy is unethical of this guy is the devil and he's so bad that
they're they're just keep pounding and saying it saying it they believe it.
They're kind of like oh my gosh you know I'm going to have to take him out.
What does the dude stupid.
I don't give a shit about his name but in Pennsylvania.
Yeah.
Let me who.
Why have we not heard anything of how he became influenced.
I don't know.
I don't think he had any kind of footprint as the problem.
No he didn't.
Wow.
Apparently he did have a footprint.
He was on discord.
But here's.
And they said that there were some relationships overseas.
Man we're never going to know.
We're never going to know.
Yes with the.
So maybe we will maybe we will later.
But here's the thing.
Here's my frustration.
We've always known that politics are below the belt.
Nasty.
This is a level that should never have been a line that should never have been crossed.
Calling each other Nazis and comparing them to Adolf Hitler.
It needs to stop.
It's crazy.
Well they've been doing it for a long time.
Now the Hitler thing is a little different but I watched it was a JD Vance talk to somebody
and he's like I don't even know if it was him.
Basically the other person was like oh no it was Megyn Kelly and Bill Maher.
Right.
And she's and he was doing the whole fascist thing and he's like Bill.
Just stop.
They are called Reagan a fascist.
They were calling George Bush this Mitt Romney a rapist.
John McCain a racist even though he adopted a child from Singapore.
Or wherever it's exhausting.
And every every person is a fascist racist rapist murderer.
That is the Republican candidate.
Right.
It's just Trump's turn this time to get all that.
Well it's even worse.
Yeah.
I think that there needs to be slander laws that are set in place.
Where was that law that you mentioned where the press can let.
Was it Obama passed it.
Obama did and I forget the name of it.
That basically they could just say what they want without any repercussions.
It's it's just sickening.
And people believe it unfortunately.
I know they do.
They do.
And it's ways that they they they hear it enough.
You're going to you're going to vote for that Nazi.
If that's all they listen to it'd be like oh my god.
It's the Smith Munt act.
They're not going to listen to any of that.
M-U-N-D-T.
Oh there was no C instead of an M on that.
You have to be careful on that word.
So that's that's basically was he kind of over overturned that and it was kind of like
well you know we we're going to make it OK for the for journalists the media to go ahead
and just say whatever they want.
It doesn't have to be true.
And before that before Obama they was like it had to be true because they had to be held
accountable for the stuff they say.
You're not allowed to say shit.
But now Smith thought they he changed that.
Well now wait a second.
This is the act of 1948.
Yes it was.
What does it have to do with Obama.
Well they're not going to show it here or right here but he would know it is.
The original version of the act was amended by the Smith Munt Modernization Act of 2012
which allowed for materials produced by the State Department and the Broadcasting Board
of Governors to be made available to the United States within the United States.
I don't know.
There's more to it that that there's not going to quite like a Wikipedia Wikipedia is not
going to give you the but the nuts of it the nuts of it basically relinquished or at least
it allowed the media to say whatever the hell they want and not be held accountable for
that needs to be turned back.
Look man.
Hey if someone's an asshole call an ace an ace call spade a spade.
If it's bad it's bad if it's good it's good.
Now some people have a different opinion on what's good and what's bad and let's just
say what it is.
But you can't sit there and call somebody something that they're not.
You know you're either charged with the border or you're not in charge of the border.
If you are in charge of if you're not in charge of the border who is in charge of the border.
You know there needs to be some line of sight and there needs to be responsibilities that
people held accountable for.
Why do we have so many people coming in from the south border.
Lay it out there and just say hey look this is happening right now.
People need to be held accountable.
Oh but the border is just doing fine.
There's no.
Come on.
These border cities are doing are you know they're they're taking a toll and these sanctuary
cities Trump has pledged to abolish that no longer.
I don't know how to do that because what would happen is all these immigrants will just go
to those sanctuary cities and he can't touch them.
That's what they're doing anyway.
Yeah that's why they're going there.
Well I mean to port them.
I mean they're literally ice has gone into a sanctuary city and then the local police
are preventing them from doing correct.
Well they're unbelievable.
Yeah it is.
Well New York's gonna look like shit.
Chicago's gonna look all those sanctuary there's how many Baltimore or whatever San
Francisco.
They're gonna be Los Angeles worse than they are now.
You're a major city.
Detroit essentially.
You know all the ones that are you know.
Let me look at downtown Austin.
Austin was I mean it's still beautiful right now but it's it's ugly.
You go downtown town Austin.
Right.
It's a fucking nasty tent city.
Right.
I mean it's like little fucking L.A. like little San Francisco.
Yeah.
Speaking of the press I know Washington Post I think has finally done something well or
I should say Bezos did.
Right.
He came out because for some reason you know people think that newspaper endorsements mean
something.
He's kissing Trump's ass.
And you know they always endorse typically the Democrat these newspapers.
Oh yeah.
And he came out and says you know we're not going to endorse anyone this time.
All he's doing is he's kissing Trump's ass so that he doesn't hammer him.
Well why is he kissing his ass?
Because he fucking bought it.
Bezos bought the post.
I know back in 2013 or 14.
So that's I mean if I if I knew my my company was going to be held accountable for saying
a bunch of bullshit the first thing I'd want to do is like hey he's sorry about that guys.
If Trump doesn't get in.
Then it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
So I think that's another point is I've read some of these tech leaders are changed like
Zuckerberg he's not coming out slamming Trump anymore.
Bezos is doing his thing.
The LA Times owner refused to endorse someone.
Yes.
Well I mean if you read Bezos little reason for it it was solidly written.
He was like guys get a grip on reality.
They don't trust us.
We don't have any credibility.
No one believes us anymore.
Because we don't tell the truth.
We're too partisan and we're too janted and you know and slanted and all this kind of
stuff.
And we've got to get away from that and we've got to go back to doing what you know what
journalism was supposed to be about.
Right.
And he's lost two hundred thousand subscribers.
Two hundred fifty thousand ten percent of their subscriber base.
All the libs who are pissed off that now they may have to read something that they don't
agree with.
Well you've got the Jennifer Rubin bitch that was on the Washington Post and how she
had some sort of fit saying you know demanding people retire resign.
You guys hear about that?
No.
Excuse me.
I think Salad came up with that.
Flicked that off your shirt in the other direction.
Like a little popcorn on there.
Well the Walpole I think will take a hit quarter billion or whatever and a few celebrities
will come out and say you're engaged.
Just like they did with the Times.
But what ultimately happened is if he starts to turn it around and they actually become
a newspaper again that will bring a whole new.
The newspaper world in my opinion is kind of like the buggy whip for a horse carriage.
It's a dying breed.
It's not there anymore and I think it's important that these authors, these reporters,
that they continue to do their jobs and report on things.
They just need to do it in a different format.
Jeff instead of doing it in books they're going to have to go digital and they're just
going to have to.
It's a sign of the times because it's not conducive for them to be printing newspapers
every single day.
You know why aren't these?
Well Julie asked me today she goes do you want the newspaper?
I was like no.
I was like it would show up and go straight to the trash.
We don't have time to read it and when I do read it it's like you said it's on my phone
I read a story.
What are you saying?
Well the Dallas Morning News.
Oh so you have been subscribing?
No not alone we got something in the mail today.
Oh okay.
That says hey you can have the next year for free 20 bucks or whatever.
And that's another thing the Dallas Morning News just got some sort of grant or something
they're about to go under.
They got some money, they got magic money.
I don't know where from but it's a dying thing.
I mean I hate to say it.
I mean it's always cool to have a Dallas Morning News or just any kind of, I remember working
at the Four Seasons and I would have to set up all the newspapers for them in the morning.
The Washington Post, the New York Times.
I used to enjoy reading the newspaper.
Yeah it was fun.
You know the cartoons you know and then Sunday you get like the fries little section you
know.
That was like very exciting.
The day before, on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving you get all the Black Friday ads.
Oh yeah.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa.
Yes.
Oh.
So yeah I don't, I guess newspapers are definitely a thing of the past but here.
I think magazines are as well.
And here's the problem.
So how many times have you gotten on and been reading like you see a headline article like
on your phone and you click on it and you start reading the first paragraph and all
of a sudden the thing pops up and says, hey buy my magazine.
I'm going to hell.
Yeah and you're like fuck that.
No I just go to a website that takes to pay well down.
There you go.
You click the X and you go find something else.
And you hopefully look for something similar.
That's just it.
But they've got to make money.
So what are they going to do?
Well that means that they forfeit that company.
I mean if there's not a demand for it then it's just a matter of economics.
Yeah if there's no demand that's going to pay for it.
Like CNN had CNN plus.
They lasted 10 weeks or something like that.
Not even.
Because no one joined it.
So they disbanded.
That's where.
We got to do hard left here.
That's where the Chris Wallace went from Fox.
So the prior to starting the podcast what the dudes like us typically do for the first
and the second half is we introduce a bourbon or whiskey something to drink.
And today we've got Jeff Brinkison.
We have the wild turkey 70th anniversary.
Mr. Producer here's the model of your native.
Yeah the wild turkey 70th anniversary.
This is aged eight years.
Eight years.
Oh eight.
I thought it was seven.
Yeah I think the standard is seven years.
This is aged an extra year.
Excellent.
Then the wild turkey.
This is 101 just like wild turkey 101.
And I don't know if it's a limited edition or if it's just this year type of edition.
OK.
It was limited.
Well I don't know how many bottles.
Yeah I don't know how many bottles.
I know that there were a couple while we were there there's a frenzy trying to get to it.
I know I was like debating should I buy it?
Should I buy it?
And I was like well I need to get this heavens whatever I got.
Heavens hill.
Something or other.
Yeah.
And we have it.
Look we're about sampling it and doing a bit.
It was exciting.
We got to the store we got it.
Paul was gone.
We're like fuck Paul.
And as usual.
Yeah.
You were like oh look at me I'm on a motorcycle with Snoopy on my back.
Don't remember that.
What Snoopy?
Interesting.
No all these things that you're describing that I was doing.
That's when you were seen.
Jeff Lin.
Well we ended up I think Chuck was with us right.
Yeah.
Yeah he was.
And I pledged I wasn't drinking and then all of a sudden.
You drank.
Yeah.
And like six shots.
It happens.
So fast.
One shot at a time.
Yeah.
Well you know you walk into any of these Total Wine places or Specs or whatever and you walk
in the door and it's kind of like going to Costco and they're like hey would you want
to try some of these chicken nuggets?
You want to try this dip?
You want to try this?
It's like hell yeah.
It's like you show up on Saturday you don't even have to eat breakfast.
You just go there and just pound down a bunch of samples.
Right.
Well on Friday afternoon for happy hour.
Good Psychos I'm Sean.
And we're there.
Right.
So anyways we walk into the place and Stan or Kevin he was just like hey man you know
shout out to Stan and Kevin thank you guys very much.
And also Tom.
Tom yes.
What's up Tom.
By the way next week Larry will be here.
Anyways this is the the gym the Wild Turkey.
I keep on.
Wild Turkey 70th anniversary.
So it says up here I don't know what this is the bourbon culture.
It says the nose meets the spice of cinnamon powder dessert like notes of apple strudel
nougat and caramel.
Apple strudel.
Some of your papers apple strudel.
But I wrote down that I was picking up a lot of butterscotch and vanillas and all kinds
of good stuff.
You said you smelled great.
Yeah that smell from the very beginning.
Well we sat down in the chairs in the green room I was kind of like yeah I take a big
sniff and it's like oh man a total grapes going on there.
A little raisin, little grapes going on.
I think it's a classic Wild Turkey done extremely well.
Yeah I agreed 100 percent.
I think that extra year is just.
It adds a lot of flavor to it.
It's I do taste it's very light on the cinnamon.
I think it's heavy on the grape raisin.
I pick up mint as well.
I have some mints.
Very very good.
I highly recommend it's only what 50 bucks.
Yeah.
If you can find it.
Really really good.
Highly recommend.
Add it to your collection.
Man Paul just.
It's a buttloosh isn't it.
Yeah.
It was really really good.
I like Wild Turkey 101 too.
So this is this is 101 so let's go ahead and slam this in the books.
I'll go first.
I'm going to call this a 7-9.
And this is 101.
Yeah but look now this is a 7-9 from the perspective that it's a hundred and one proof.
Correct.
Not to be confused because they're like we bring up on the other podcasts every different
category of or denomination of proofs has a different flavor.
I mean it's in order to register high on the 80 proof or the 90 proof I mean you really
have to be good.
The Garrister Brothers did excellent on that.
Right.
Did we finalize the categories?
Did we say 115 plus and 100 to 115?
Mr. Producer chime in.
And what did we.
Maybe he knows.
He's got the Excel spreadsheet over there.
Or did we do yeah.
I think it's 80 to 90, 90 to 100, 100 to 110 maybe.
Like every 10 I think is what we we we did.
Kind of talked about.
I don't think we formalize that though.
We need to.
We need to formalize that.
Make the S-O-W and.
Absolutely.
And do an NDA.
NDA as well.
Yeah we got to do all that.
Yes.
All right I'm gonna give this in this category I'm yeah I'm gonna give this a I'm gonna
give this a 7-6.
I write it Sean a 7.9.
This is outstanding.
It's really really good.
It's good.
I mean it's really good.
Smooth it's easy to drink.
And I could I'd be I'd be curious what this tastes like on a on a big square cube.
I think it'd be fantastic.
I have round cubes.
I don't want to I don't want to put what's what.
No it'll change it sometimes for the better.
Oh dude.
That's a little bit of water.
Sometimes when I have I'll have a drink during the week and I just I put I plop my big cube
into the glass and I I cover it with whatever bourbon I'm trying and it is brilliant.
I absolutely.
That may work for you.
Good for you.
I disagree.
But I like I like taking a smaller sip and letting my saliva dumb it down.
Wow.
That's kind of gross.
No it's not.
You just gotta let it roll around.
Yeah.
No it's it's about.
Seriously dad can you keep it down.
It's about ruminating the the ruminating or chewing it cut it.
You gotta swish it in the mouth.
Masticating.
Hey man.
That's a thing.
You swallow it and spit it back up and swallow it again and spit it back up.
Like this isn't your boyfriend.
Who's bourbon cud.
Paul's getting flashbacks from his college years.
Oh I just drank it eight times.
It was amazing every time and it tasted different every time too.
Little bit groovy on that last one.
Fucking up with that apple shrewdly you had for lunch.
Got a little bitter at the end.
Little acidic.
Oh it's acidic.
Stop butt losing it.
All right look look look.
So I'm at seven nine you're at seven nine and Paul's at a seven six.
Yes.
Look all in all I think it's great.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
So this.
I go back to the question is this going to be available next year as well or is this
a one year and they're done.
Seventieth anniversary.
Well maybe we preorder it.
We would like your seventy-first anniversary.
I was gonna say they came out with the seventy-first.
Seventy-seven.
Seventy-eight.
Seventy-nine.
Keep doing it.
Or do they do it every five years.
Next one's the seventy-fifth.
We're just gonna have to email them Jeff and find out.
We can ask Jimmy Russell.
You think Jimmy's gonna come on the show?
Yo Jimmy.
Hey Jimmy come over here.
You know Jimmy Hatt?
And open with but tell us about the seventy-fourth anniversary.
I'm really interested.
Is that is that available?
Is that available in one year?
He's like what?
Oh there's our cue.
Stop talking.
No it's not.
Yes.
This is where we had like finally like jam in like fifteen different topics.
An hour and fifteen minutes of like waiting to stop talking is what our listeners are
hoping for.
All right well look we've got we accomplished a lot of politics on this first one.
I promise you we'll come back and we'll be like crazy on the second half of the Dudes
Like Us podcast.
We do have some topics we're going to be sharing.
You know we've got the Halloween party we just had last week.
We've got Halloween coming up this Thursday.
We're all gonna go over that and what else are we gonna talk about on the second half?
There's a lot of things.
I want to talk about what's going on with SpaceX and their crazy ass booster landing
and we have some fun stuff happening in college sports.
The Texas game.
I know that was a couple weeks ago but we need to talk about that.
How about Trump and McDonald's?
Someone with fries.
Yes he looked amazing.
All right so I would really.
Best fries ever.
I think let's try to like promise our listeners that we're gonna stay away from politics because
it's saturated right now.
So we'll have some fun in the second half and we'll deal with that.
Check us out on Dudes Like Us podcast for Instagram and Facebook.
