1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,360
Oh yeah. It's been so long. It has been. I almost forgot my password. You don't have

2
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:19,120
the same password over and over? I do, but I just forgot it. I got several computers.

3
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:24,760
I need, you know, this is going to take a fingerprint. I think I might switch to the

4
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:29,240
fingerprint. Yeah. Did you see the, did I send you guys the video of the girl freaking out

5
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,880
that she has to log into everything? What the hell was that all about? I didn't understand

6
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:38,320
it. She was frustrated because she's got to log into this, log into that. Can't you just

7
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:43,840
remember it for a couple of times? Why do I got to do it every single time? Don't even

8
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:48,360
get me started on the checkbox save password. But was she pinning it on somebody? She was

9
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,400
blaming somebody. I think she was just blaming Elon Musk or something. Well, no, I don't

10
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:57,320
think that. I think she was just blaming the state of having to log into everything these

11
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:02,280
days that she was have anxiety about it. But the part, the part of it that frustrated her

12
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:07,680
was that when you sign in to almost anything, they've got a little checkbox. Hey, you want

13
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:13,080
me to remember you for next time? You check it. And then she was like, you know what?

14
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:18,560
Don't don't prompt that you're going to remember it if you're not going to remember it. Don't

15
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:25,960
fucking tease me. I see. Big teaser. Huh? So, uh, what a dick tease. It was. Yeah. So

16
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:29,280
this is the first half of the show. Believe it or not, Jeff used a bad word right off

17
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:34,160
the bat. Yeah, right off the bat. Richard. And we even made a pact. No more swearing

18
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:39,120
on the on the part. Shut the front door. We have a swear jar. We've failed or I did it.

19
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:47,080
We have a swear jar. It's it's in the essence of a infinity bottle. It's full. You swear

20
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:53,680
you have to deposit half ounce of your drink. Oh, that would stop the swearing. That's crazy.

21
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,120
All right. December 30th. Uh, New Year's Eve is tomorrow night. Uh, we're super excited.

22
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:04,040
2025 has come around the corner. Uh, January 20th can't come faster. Uh, I'm super excited.

23
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:10,760
I guess I'm Sean. I'm Paul and I have Jeff and first time tonight we got Chuckster the

24
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:15,440
Chuckster as our production manager back there. There you go. Working the wheels. Gentlemen.

25
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,560
All right. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. So if we have any delays, it's his fault.

26
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:26,000
Yes. Chuck is a shirtless, but he's got these new rubberized tassels. Is he, is he, is he

27
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,280
helicoptering back there? I can hear it. So why not discuss dress code with him before

28
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:39,200
he came to me? I mean, you can see I'm the one that has to start my contract. He signed

29
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,600
the NDA. Wait till we get all the extra light to put in. Yeah. I mean, what's he going to

30
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,120
do with all the glitter? He could collect it on his forehead. I'm not cleaning it. All

31
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,240
right. Anyway, so we've got tons of fantastic topics to talk about. We got picked out some

32
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,920
fresh brand new, actually we got an old and new, uh, bourbon. We don't talk to me exactly

33
00:02:55,920 --> 00:02:59,680
what it is yet. It'll be a, it'll be a surprise. I think we're going to go over some of the

34
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,880
Christmas gifts that we got. What was our favorites? Where's the worst? If you got any,

35
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,840
I don't know. Well, we had noticed we showed up at the podcast room and Jeff was displaying,

36
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:15,440
uh, from his future, uh, daughter-in-law brought him some Frisco, Texas, Jeff's bar dudes,

37
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:21,000
the guys, coasters, coasters, stack of them, stack. There's probably a hundred of them

38
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,160
in there at least. Yeah. When would we ever go through all of this? Well, you know, they're

39
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,880
really sharp, man. Yeah. That was a, that was a cool gift. There was a, there was insightful

40
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:39,560
got a nice little acrylic holder. Yeah. Yeah. Lid. Very cool. Just needs wheels. Wheels.

41
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,000
Everything is better with wheels is what you said. Well, I mean, if it's a piece of furniture,

42
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:48,080
yeah, you want to roll that thing around the table in case you need one, just roll it over.

43
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,000
No, no. All right. Let's walk through it. You want to start with, uh, what is your,

44
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,840
what was your favorite Christmas gift here? Jeff, what say you, uh, I got, it's going

45
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:03,920
to sound really strange, but I got a book of a thousand and one sausage recipes. Ooh,

46
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:09,640
is this for food or is this a gay bar? No, it's for, it's for food. And a new hobby of

47
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:16,440
mine is making, uh, uh, sausages and salamis and stuff like that. Cool. But I didn't, I

48
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,760
didn't realize there would be that many, uh, recipes. Oh yeah. It's like bubble gum shrimp

49
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,640
and it's like, you can make a pasta people, the bubble gum. You know, you can do it on

50
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,400
and on and on. Well, what did you peruse it and what jumped out at you? Uh, I w I've just

51
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:37,360
started reading it and the science behind, uh, making like cured meats and fermented

52
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:43,160
meats and stuff like that. There's a lot that goes into it that it's an art. It is. And

53
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,880
you have to be careful because you'll kill people. Right. So don't, well, you guys, I'm

54
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,840
gonna let you try it first. I was gonna say when you're handing out, Hey guys, you gotta

55
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:59,200
try my sausage. Yeah. I want to try. I've made, I've made, I've made some German bratwurst.

56
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,920
I've, I just made some of those. I've made some other brats. I've made some breakfast

57
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,600
sausage, some Italian sausage. Did you really, you did, you did this already? Oh yeah. I

58
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:13,440
did it. Um, I did it, uh, just a couple of days ago, uh, eight pounds of German bratwurst.

59
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,920
Did you slice it all up and put it on your hoochie coochie board? No, it's all froze.

60
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,120
Well, no, it needs to be grilled up. Oh, no, it's all raw. It's all vacuum packed and

61
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,920
frozen. Well, that sounds like a, uh, a dudes like us, uh, get together. Yeah. Just to sample

62
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:32,480
all of your, uh, sausage. Uh, well I only have brats right now, but, um, there's, like

63
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:37,400
I said, a thousand and one, some I won't make, but, uh, just because they don't sound good

64
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,600
to me, right? Some pretty exotic ones out there. Uh, but they're from all over the world.

65
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:47,320
So it's, it's very good. They got some implements to help me do it as well. What does that mean?

66
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:53,440
Implement, uh, with tools? Yeah. Tools because I have, uh, stuff it in the little. Yeah.

67
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:59,320
I already have a big five, the condom. I have a five pound, uh, of a five pound sausage stuffer.

68
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:05,720
Uh, but what has the horns, different size horns on the front that, uh, you put your casings

69
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:10,160
on and then it fills the casings. Well, those casings are a pain in the ass to clean out

70
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:15,120
because they get full of beat. Yes. And you're trying to shit, shove stuff in there to try

71
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:20,400
to push the meat out so you can clean it. Uh, well they make little cleaners that'll

72
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,520
push all that meat out so you can get them clean much easier than what I've been dealing

73
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:31,400
with. Like an enema style cleaner. Uh, no, it's not enema, but, uh, it's like your, uh,

74
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:37,440
uh, like a little push or I'm gonna tell you what to call it. You just push it out. A butt

75
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,880
plug to self like a rectum brush. Well, brush brushes do come with it. So yeah, I guess

76
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:47,800
you could stick those up your ass if you really wanted to. Yeah. Be so vulgar about it. Sometimes

77
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:53,120
the butts, just an analogy. Right. Right. So you got the other, and you, yeah, we, you

78
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,840
sent us a picture and you had, you had at least one flavor rocking. Right. Yeah. It

79
00:06:56,840 --> 00:07:01,720
was just the German bratwurst. Yeah. And, uh, I've made that one before. Is that the ones

80
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,880
we sampled? Yeah. So I was good too, man. It was really good. I couldn't wait. Got home,

81
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,040
uh, uh, immediately stuck in the fridge. I was like, that's what I mean tomorrow for

82
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:15,360
lunch. Well, we had some leftover. I didn't, I didn't wash enough casing. So I had about

83
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:20,980
a pound, maybe a pound and a half of, uh, just ground bratwurst. So I made, we had brat

84
00:07:20,980 --> 00:07:26,520
patties, which actually are delicious. I bet. I would know I'd never had. So I've got some

85
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,280
downstairs. I could never offered. I can, I can give you some if you want, you can have

86
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,880
it tomorrow for lunch. Ooh. Just make it into like a hamburger patty, grill it up, put it

87
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,600
on a sandwich. Is it healthy? That's it's a hundred percent pork and all the spices.

88
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:44,000
I made the spices myself. There was absolutely nothing fake in it, but there's obviously

89
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,800
you have to add fat to make it all. No, I didn't add anything to it. Really? Pork butt

90
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:55,360
has the correct percentage of fat to make a good sausage. Ah, and burger. That doesn't

91
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,520
make burger. That's a brisket. Oh, it's a patty. Oh yes. A broad patty. That's what

92
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,840
I meant. Yes. Yeah. Like a, like a, yeah. Is it fall apart like a sloppy Joe or does

93
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:08,680
it retain its? No, it's solid because you have to, you have to emulsify, not emulsify,

94
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,300
but you have to get the proteins come out to make it real sticky. Do you ever get those

95
00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:16,040
tubes of sausage, like Italian sausage, and it's real sticky and shit like that. Uh, when

96
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,640
you're trying to like form it, the patties or anything like that. Not lately. No. Oh,

97
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:25,400
well you have to do that. Uh, so it retains its shape. Right. Most dudes, I guys just

98
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:31,280
fucking buy the store. All of this is a completely foreign concept. Yeah. I enjoy it. Julie helps

99
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,080
me out. Uh, it's a lot of fun. And again, it's, hey Julie, want to help me out with

100
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,600
my sausage? I know what's in it. Right. And you guys are all slimed up and we're nude.

101
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:44,080
Yeah. It's just some saying, you know, turn it into a ghost moment. Yes. That me more

102
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:50,880
and Pat. What's his name? I've got broth sauce everywhere. Let's do the diet. Brats. What?

103
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:57,920
Uh, I was Demi Moore ghost. The movie. Oh, Patrick Swayze. Oh, you're, you're, they're

104
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,520
pottering together. Oh yeah. I heard Julia, he and Julia are in there. We just have a

105
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:07,560
big mound of meat. Oh yeah. They're shoving it into the sausage. This is the first time

106
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:14,040
that, uh, this is the first time I use real casings in the past. I've used college. I

107
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:21,160
was diligent, but this time I bought a actual hog casing. So Julie was kind of gross. It's

108
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:27,720
so foul. Well, it's intestines, right? Oh, so I had to, I had to untangle these strands

109
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:34,920
of intestines and wash them out. Um, and uh, it actually, are they, is there still like

110
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,400
excrement residual in there? No, they, they, this company cleans them out beforehand. They,

111
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,640
they tell you to rinse them out because they pack them in salt. Oh, I see. So you have

112
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,120
to rinse all the salt out. So I rinsed water through it probably three or four times anyway,

113
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,760
but they're clean. It was like a garden hose. Yeah. I did it in the sink. So yeah. I mean,

114
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,280
is it when it's, when it's, you run a water through it, is it like, I mean, like three

115
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,720
foot long, four foot long. Yeah. It's about three feet long. Maybe it looks like a balloon

116
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,720
as the water runs through it. Fascinating. Yeah. I want to, I would love to kind of see

117
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:10,760
it at work in one of these days. Yeah. Well these look more brought like than the college.

118
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,760
There's nothing wrong with college in either. Uh, but it just looks a little more authentic,

119
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:19,640
I guess. Well, maybe we'll have a dudes like us podcast moment where we do a live stream

120
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:26,200
and uh, we, we, and watch Jeff make sausage. Play with your meat and sausages. And then

121
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,880
Sean and I have staff stand off in the corner drinking bourbon. Okay. I like where this

122
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:37,720
is going. Okay. Oh God. So that was your gift. Well, that was one of them. That was one of

123
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:43,240
them. Yeah. So then some gifts to go along with that, uh, uh, to help with the sausage

124
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,960
making. Very nice. Very nice. And what about you, Sean? What was your favorite gift? I

125
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:52,840
got an extra large sleeping bag, big enough for two full grown men. Ooh, interesting.

126
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:59,520
Yeah. I make sausage and you have this got awkward to man sleeping bag. And are you looking

127
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:05,280
for a guest? He's making his, he's making his own man sausage. And there's what he is.

128
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:12,200
Uh, I don't really, I didn't really get, I'm trying to think what did I get? I mean, oh,

129
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,640
you didn't get a, I got some clothes. I didn't get anything extravagant. My wife and I kind

130
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:22,560
of like, I mean, I gave her cash, but you know, she, you know what? That's kind of,

131
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:26,760
look, my hands are tied every year. I buy her, I buy her something nice, right? You

132
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,120
know, in the last year I bought her like some diamond earrings and you know, they were,

133
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,360
they were great. She loved them. And then she turns around and says, I'd rather you

134
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:40,200
just take that money and maybe redo our bathroom or something. I was like, I'm thinking, okay,

135
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:45,920
I buy you diamonds. It's 1500, whatever it was. I don't even know compared to a $4,500

136
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,960
bathroom that I'm about the top. I mean, see she's not stupid. Yeah. She knows what's going

137
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,080
on. She wants a new bathroom. So whatever. So this year I was like scratch the diamonds,

138
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:59,240
check scratch this check, but you know what? Whatever. It was, uh, it was kind of a weird

139
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:04,520
year for buying gifts. I mean, I gave my kids cash, which we did the same thing. I mean,

140
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,920
it's getting harder and harder. And I think we're going to really move to that because

141
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,800
you know, we get the boys a few things. You know, I got Brandon, uh, Laura, the ring book,

142
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,400
uh, and a couple of little knickknacks, but clothes. Um, yeah, they always get clothes,

143
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:22,480
hoodies, but they didn't get nearly as much as they used to. Right. But I bought myself

144
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:27,800
something this year. Oh, did you get your bike? Um, you know what? That's, I did not.

145
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:34,840
So for those dudes, us like us listeners out there, I'm interested in buying a, uh, a trike,

146
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:42,600
a battery powered, a bicycle. And you know, I get it. You guys are laughing. What a fabulous

147
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:48,720
person. No one's laughing. That's a fantastic gift. The gift that keeps giving. Oh Lord

148
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:54,320
have mercy. So anyways, that's kind of, that it is, I've got all kinds of advertisements

149
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,240
I'm going through and I'm saving, I'm collecting them. I'm trying to come up with a different,

150
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:03,040
um, you know, the amperage, you know, how much, you know, how far do they go? How fast

151
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:08,280
they go? How much I've even considered getting one. Cause there's one that's got a little

152
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:13,600
basket in the back or you could put a seat in the back. So someone that you can flip

153
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:18,440
them out. So it could be a basket or it could be a tear. It could go for a ride. I'm just

154
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,280
saying somebody can fit in the back. Does it have one of those orange little flags on

155
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:28,160
the back that kind of wobble back and forth? What are the laws around that? Do you need?

156
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:33,400
Well, I mean, based on our research, uh, we did while driving or whatever we did, we were

157
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:39,280
cause I was kind of like, ah, you don't need to, you know, follow right. Is it road? Is

158
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:44,240
it road worthy or? Oh yeah. They're definitely worthy, but they have to be, I don't know,

159
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,340
licensed or something like that. Or I forget what it does. We looked it up, whatever the

160
00:13:48,340 --> 00:13:53,480
question was. So it's not a sidewalk thing. I mean, they can be, I don't know. I mean,

161
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,800
yes, it is a sidewalk thing. Yes. Oh, it is. Okay. Cause you can go down, uh, you can go

162
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:03,200
down parks, uh, sidewalks with it. It's not, you know, I don't see why you would, but could

163
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:10,640
you hop on a Roller and go to Kroger? Uh, well, these things go 20, 20 miles up 20 to

164
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,960
30 miles, depending on how fat you are. Well, the speed limit would go five. Well, the speed

165
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:22,560
limit is 40. Right. Right. So the speed limit is 40. You probably want to be on a sidewalk.

166
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:27,880
Yeah. I would trust drivers here. I'm not getting on crazy drivers out there. The new

167
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,080
drivers all around here. Yeah. I'm actually, I'm actually looking forward to it whenever

168
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,120
I pull the trigger on it. But I'll tell you what, what I did buy for myself was, uh, I

169
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:41,760
got an iPad and I technically got it for work. Um, but it's something different cause I've

170
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:48,080
had an Android forever. I've never had an Apple product. That was the same way. So,

171
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,040
you know, so I've, I've got a, I got an iPad. It's kind of cool. My son Preston called me

172
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,840
through FaceTime, which was like, I was like, Oh, this is cool, man. That's why I got that

173
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,160
because, because my kids were at school and they were like, we want to FaceTime you. So

174
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:07,520
I ended up getting one. So, I mean, outside of that, uh, you know, I, I, I went to, I

175
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,360
bought some new clothes for, look, man, I didn't really get, oh, you know what? My kids

176
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:18,720
got me. Uh, I thought it was pretty cool. They bought, uh, the time magazine of the

177
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:23,480
person of the year, like blister size or just Donald Trump, no, the magazine, but they took

178
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:28,720
the magazine and they framed it. Oh, very nice. So they technically have two, uh, two

179
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,840
of, uh, I guess he was person of the year and two different magazines. Is that right?

180
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,880
I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. That was a little art project. It was,

181
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:41,640
it was cool. I opened it up. I was like, this is really neat. I was, I was, I don't know

182
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,160
where I'm going to put it, but it'll have to go in my office. It won't go anywhere.

183
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:51,160
I'll just put it over the mantle. Blow it up. I need authority to do that. They don't

184
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:56,600
even let me, there we go. There's the tri-holler cargo fat tire, E-trike fully assembled. 2199

185
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:01,760
blue like that. You know, electric blue is kind of a fast color. I'm more of a look at

186
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:06,320
that basket in the front basket in the back, dude, that's Hardy looking. Yeah. All right.

187
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:11,000
We're looking at different trike options for, uh, so can these things be hacked where you

188
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:16,340
can all of a sudden go 50 miles an hour? I, you know, I don't know if they have governors

189
00:16:16,340 --> 00:16:21,960
on them. I really don't. Um, why would they? I don't think it'd be safe. I mean, I wouldn't

190
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:27,040
want to do that. I mean, I'm not really, I don't really, I'm not really interested in

191
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:32,040
going, uh, fast on it. I mean, I'm not hitting the highway with it. Really Sean on the it's

192
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:38,160
way burn. I mean, cheeks are flapping. We're looking at going to your house, you know,

193
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,760
right? Quarter of a mile, you know, Paul's house, three quarters of a mile or maybe a

194
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,000
mile. I don't know. Yeah. You know, or, or maybe get my hair cut and take the back way

195
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,200
and not take a road later. Yeah. And I could, you know, in the, whatever, I mean the idea

196
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,920
is I could run up to Kroger, which is, you know, two miles, right? You know, so it's,

197
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,960
it's not, it must be kind of fun, you know, and I don't know. Can you go to total wine

198
00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:06,720
yet? I don't know if I'd want to go that far, you know, have like 20 samples and come back

199
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,920
intoxicated on that. I don't know what the laws are. Well, it's driving anything, anything

200
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:18,440
you can get a DUI except a horse. Is that true? That's true. All right. Interesting.

201
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:24,760
Cause the horses know what I do know on a right of mower, you get to why the lawnmower.

202
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:30,720
Absolutely. You can get a DWI on that. Yeah. You said that's not from personal experience,

203
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,040
but I do remember a story where, you know, some guys, the wife took the keys away and

204
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,840
he, he went, he went anyway. Yep. I'm going to the bar. Hell man. There was a, it was

205
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:46,240
a construction site and there were some, some guys that were working late and they got off

206
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,480
late and they were sitting out the parking lot. And, uh, I guess one was waiting for

207
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,840
his car or a friend to pick them up and they ran out of beer. So he takes a scissor lift

208
00:17:54,840 --> 00:18:02,320
and goes down the street to the convenience store, picks up a 12 pack case, whatever it

209
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:08,320
is. And I think I heard this, the cops pull them over and they're like, he takes a scissor

210
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:16,320
lift and he's like, he goes up like 20 feet in the air. You're not getting me down here

211
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:21,520
right now. Was it stolen? No, I mean, it wasn't stolen. He was just, he just used it for a

212
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:26,080
beer. He just took it for a beer run. He'd feel like walking. Wow. That's funny. Yeah.

213
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,200
I don't know what, how that ended up. What is that? The it's unlikely that I remember

214
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,000
seeing the video for riding a horse while intoxicated Texas, because the state laws

215
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:39,600
define a motor vehicle as a device that transports people or property on a highway. Texas transportation

216
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,800
code defines a motor vehicle as a device that could transport people, uh, property on the

217
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:47,560
highway, stationary rails or tracks. So if you want to ride a more on a shoulder of a

218
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:52,960
country road, I mean, how would that qualify? This is a, uh, how accurate is that? Yeah.

219
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:58,320
But the problem is, is that, you know, you're not going to, a horse isn't going to run

220
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,520
rainlessly. You know? I mean, they, they, I mean, you, they, they're, I mean, they're

221
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,800
going to stop. They're a, if there's a wall there, they're going to stop. A drunk rider

222
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:12,800
won't cause a sober horse to, they don't, they don't, they don't swerve. Yeah. They

223
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:18,440
may fall off. What about a drunk horse with a sober rider? Uh, so anyways, the, the, the,

224
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,560
the gifts that I got, that's basically it. I got the iPad and I'm interested in kind

225
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,320
of diving into it. Really. I got it. I got it for work. I'm, and I'm not putting like

226
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,560
social media shit on there, you know, and I'm, I don't, I don't even want to put Netflix

227
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,480
or anything like that on there. I really don't. I really just want to like keep it for work

228
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:41,240
because I went to a, um, I went to a job site with our friend, Larry, a building consultant.

229
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,840
I won't tell you for which company works for, uh, but you know, we, we were out there and

230
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:50,960
he was using one and, uh, they were doing some diagram floor sketches and they were

231
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:57,480
able to navigate through the rooms and, and take measurements and, uh, take offs of the

232
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:03,040
stuff that they need to do. And it was, it was very organized and, uh, I was like, I

233
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,360
gotta have that. In addition to that, there are certain proprietary programs that our

234
00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:14,760
company uses for estimating, um, uh, my job, that's me replacement stuff, you know, big

235
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:19,960
buildings, whatever, uh, they can become quite elaborate. And this particular iPad has a

236
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:25,120
LIDAR which is used for measuring depth. You know, it can basically measure a room and

237
00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:29,140
stuff and it works hand in hand with some of the software we use, which I'm, I'm anxious

238
00:20:29,140 --> 00:20:30,140
to learn.

239
00:20:30,140 --> 00:20:37,840
I know I can, I know I could measure, uh, on my iPhone. I could set like a point right

240
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:43,240
there in the corner and I can draw the line over, set the other point. It'll tell me how

241
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:44,240
long that is.

242
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,240
Dude, that's cool.

243
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,240
Well, your phone will do it too.

244
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,920
Well, if it has LIDAR, I don't know how to do that, but.

245
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:54,520
Oh, my last phone did it as well. I don't know if it doesn't do depth. Like it's not

246
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,840
going to read the whole room. I actually have to, I have to have to put a point in the corner.

247
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,360
If I go, okay, how wide is that point? Point. It'll tell me it's 15 feet.

248
00:21:02,360 --> 00:21:07,200
And Mr. Chuck, pull that up. See if, uh, iPhones, uh, all have LIDAR. Cause I think you're right.

249
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:12,880
I think most iPhones do have LIDAR. I think, uh, but not all, uh, iPads do like, uh, all

250
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:19,120
the pro iPads have LIDAR, but the Air do not have, uh, LIDAR.

251
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:23,760
Interesting. I have never heard of LIDAR. I obviously understand what that is, but I

252
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:24,760
have.

253
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:25,760
Light detection and ranging.

254
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:26,760
And ranging.

255
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,760
I think most have LIDAR.

256
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:33,760
iPhone 12 pro and later, including the five phone pro 12 pro max.

257
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,760
I got the 15 pro max.

258
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:42,160
I don't know how I could use it though.

259
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,160
So I'm kind of gathering how this went. I'm imagining you on site and Larry's walking

260
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:53,800
around and you're like going, Oh, I don't have that. I have a ruler. I can't do that.

261
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,960
Larry's scribbling down with a pencil and a slide ruler. He brought in a yardstick.

262
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:58,960
Oh yeah. Yardstick.

263
00:21:58,960 --> 00:21:59,960
One of those folding yardsticks.

264
00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:02,960
Yeah. And he's like, uh, Larry, can you help me with this?

265
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,760
Tape measure. I'm ha I got a little app pocket abacus. I have to pull out.

266
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,800
Larry, can you help me hold the tape measure?

267
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,360
He's like, yeah, I'm already done with all the measurements.

268
00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:13,880
I can just see the envy. I can just see the envy that you were struggling with. You're

269
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,760
like, I'm buying that myself. My Christmas.

270
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:23,400
I actually, uh, email texted him, uh, today I was kind of like, Hey, can you send me a,

271
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:28,720
can you send me a sample sheet? Cause they've got very proprietary graph paper that they

272
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:34,120
use on the digital, uh, good notes. I think is that what it is? Uh, on the good notes

273
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:37,200
and they've got like graph paper. It's got their own logo and everything on there. I

274
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,400
was going to copy it, you know, I'll copy the concept of it. Cause it does look cool.

275
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,080
It is good for managing. Hey, I'll tell you what, anything that makes you do your job

276
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,680
better. I'm all, Oh, absolutely. Dressed for success. Yes. Absolutely. And frankly, you

277
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,360
don't know until you, you see something and then you got to gravitate to it. In fact,

278
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:58,320
I've already reached out to some of the, um, the, uh, upper, uh, smarter people than I

279
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:03,800
in our company to see if there is any, any training available to run some of these exact

280
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:09,600
to me programming. It's smart. Yeah. Anyways, that's, uh, that was kind of my, my gift I

281
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,040
gave to myself. It was really not much more. I kind of feel bad. Actually, I kind of feel

282
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:18,480
empty. I love giving my wife stuff. It was kind of a bum deal. Yeah. It was that she

283
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:25,240
was like, you know what you can do? Excuse me. She said, um, she has to do some, uh,

284
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:30,880
she has to have some back, uh, stuff. She has back issues. So she's going to be going

285
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,840
to a chiropractor. So I basically paid for a couple of months of her chiropractor. You

286
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:39,400
know what? It's, it's, it's lame. It's a layer. Happy. Does it make her happy? Yeah, I guess

287
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,840
so. Yeah, that's all it matters. Yeah. And if it's motivation for her to go because she's

288
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,920
not worried about how much it costs or you know what I mean? Whatever. It's like when

289
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,920
you buy massages for people, they'll never do it for themselves. But as soon as they

290
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:55,560
get a $300 gift card to go to get a massage, they're like, well, fuck it. I'll use it.

291
00:23:55,560 --> 00:24:00,880
And then they feel great. You know, one of the things, uh, one of the, one of the things,

292
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:06,440
I don't know if you guys have heard about it. Uh, Steven went last night, uh, to the

293
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:13,600
world of Springs out in the colony. Have you guys heard of this? No, no, I have not. That's

294
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:18,520
called the world of spring. I think it's our springs of the world or a restaurant. It's

295
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:25,240
a, it's a spa place out there. I think it's out there in the grand scape area. Your son

296
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:33,920
is so Metro. Uh, uh, Randy, Randy bought the family a session. So they all went last night.

297
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,960
Oh, nice. Yeah. And I don't even mean, I don't mean your son. I mean, it's like my son's

298
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:43,120
the same way. They're like into, they're into stuff that we would never have done. Oh, I've,

299
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:46,360
I've looked at this. I was going to, I was going to do it for Julia. I just completely

300
00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:50,560
forgot about it. He mentioned it last night. Is it basically an oversized pool? No, what

301
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:59,360
they are are there basically these different, uh, they go spa spa or I don't want to call

302
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:06,160
it a hot tub, but all the, all these different hot Springs around the world have different

303
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:12,600
mineral makeup. Uh, right. They replicate that in these. So you like, I want to go to a Russian

304
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:18,560
or whatever, uh, hot spring. How big is this place? I don't know. I haven't been, but it

305
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:24,940
looks nice. So they got saunas, they got cold plunges. Yep. They've got mineral baths or

306
00:25:24,940 --> 00:25:29,800
whatever you do. They have a Taiwanese bath house. Ooh. I don't know. I mean, they have

307
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:41,960
massages and whatever that is hot yoga. They have the happy ending. Hey, Sean, anywhere

308
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:46,360
you are can end up being a happy. You know what they had, they had a video up there with

309
00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:51,620
like eight people in a very small sauna. I don't know if I'd want to be in a sauna like

310
00:25:51,620 --> 00:25:56,080
shoulder to shoulder with like eight people. Oh, I would almost getting all kinds of slimy

311
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,120
and rubbing each other. Oh, you almost threw your first, your, your own very own challenge.

312
00:26:00,120 --> 00:26:03,840
Yeah. I was kind of really like, I can rub one out at any time. Is that what you're getting

313
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:08,480
that? Oh God. Okay. So there it is. There's the math there. I threw it. That's how big

314
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:13,200
it is. That's a yellow card. They rub one out. I need we hold on. I, are you looking

315
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,000
to justify this? But you said that you said, Jeff, we'll get to that in a second. I'm yellow

316
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,840
carding him. I missed. I don't know. I cannot vote on this. What you're saying is like rub

317
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,320
one out any time. Well, that's not what you insinuated. That's a yellow card. What did

318
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,960
he say to me? I don't know. I was trying to talk about this and you're talking about whacking

319
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:34,880
off every year. I wasn't saying that. He said, I've got the book open. Oh Lord. Walk me through

320
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:40,840
what exactly I write down. He said, Sean, you can have a happy ending anywhere you go.

321
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:46,160
Happy ending. Okay. Got it. I thin the book. All right. All right. Show us the overview

322
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,600
here. What do you, Oh, damn it's huge. We got the Dead Sea, got the European region,

323
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:55,000
the Asiatic region, the Americans region, and I'm still looking for the Taiwanese. Oh,

324
00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:01,280
so it's world Springs. Correct. Okay. And it's in the colony. Yeah, it sure is. Can

325
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,400
you do, do you have to have a bracelet to get into each section or can you know, I think

326
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:10,200
you pay to get in and you just hop for one to one. So there's no, I think there are a

327
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,440
lot of people there. He said it was, he said there were people there, but it wasn't too

328
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:21,800
bad. I would not. I mean, we, Jeff, you and I have been ordered drinks from poolside server

329
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:27,120
or stopped by one of our mobile bars for a quick beverage. So, you know, a quick beverage,

330
00:27:27,120 --> 00:27:32,320
so you can't drink it in the pool. I guess. Can we bring a flask? So it's delight. But

331
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:40,040
Jeff urban all into this. You and I went to the Frisco pool and you know, with the, that

332
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:44,240
pool was just nasty. Oh yeah. I mean, I'll just kind of shit floating in it. Yeah. I

333
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:49,600
mean, where was this? The Frisco, the aquatic center, you know, it's just, I mean, look,

334
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,960
the pool's not always dirty, but by the time we get there, we're running, doing our laps

335
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,980
and stuff, especially because we've got the goggles and the snorkel and we're doing laps

336
00:27:55,980 --> 00:28:03,000
back and forth. We can see all the shit floating on the bottom. And this all of a sudden exponentially,

337
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:08,360
these beings were populating everywhere and diapers, kids in diapers. I was like, what

338
00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:13,280
in the ever loving God is going on? This is on it. It's just like, I was like, I'm out,

339
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:18,400
you know, I can't, I can't handle all this. And it just, it stinks. You know, the, the

340
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:23,000
type of people there were making it stink. And I was just like, I'm out, I'm out. I'm

341
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,240
out. Yeah. Yeah. I have a problem. I have no problem swimming, but when they're, you

342
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,920
see all the babies in the pool, I'm like, even if you have those swimmers on, if that

343
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:36,080
baby has a blowout and they do, it's getting in the pool. That little Babe Ruth stickers

344
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:40,200
bar kind of plopping around. No, it's more like, you know, mud pudding. And then it gets,

345
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,960
oh yeah. And it just disperses. And then no one knows the mom and dad are just like, let's

346
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,440
go. Next thing you know, you have equalized. Let's go. Let's go. Next thing you know, you

347
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:52,840
have pink eye. Oh, you had pink eye. I did have pink eye. Yes. Did you have a blowout

348
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,240
in the pool? I think someone was taking turns farting on his pillow in Hawaii. It was. Can

349
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,640
you get pink eye from your own blowout? That's your own bacteria, right? I don't think so.

350
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:08,280
I think you're immune to your own. You should test that shit on your eyeball. No, in my

351
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:14,160
spa where you guys smeg and you smeg my, you, oh yeah, that was, yeah. You guys were dogging

352
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:22,080
my, my spa. Like you're dogging FAC pool. It's creamy. Creamy. Uh-oh. He's bringing

353
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:26,720
out something, a yellow card. I mean, look, I can't talk about rubbing one out and you're,

354
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,960
you're saying that you're going to poop in a pool. No, it's my, you're going to poop

355
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:35,680
in Jeff's eye. Jeff was going to poop in his own eye. No, that was you. It was an experiment.

356
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:40,280
Lord. Okay. Anyway, this went real soft. This is kind of car. Anyway, actually it was probably

357
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:45,040
fun for Steven. What's the, what's the cost on this thing? Probably not cheap. Cause I

358
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:51,840
looked at it. I looked at it maybe six, nine months ago, uh, because I was, I was one of

359
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:56,600
the do it and it just opened. I was like, I need to wait for it to calm down. Well, you

360
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,400
think the price is going to come down or, oh, you're just talking about how crowded

361
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:11,880
85, uh, for adult soak 45 minutes. No. Good Lord. Is that right? I guess that thins the

362
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:21,080
herd out. What's the early bird special 9am to 3pm for 60 bucks, 39 to 59 bucks under

363
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:27,280
18 soak 40 bucks. So night owl. That must have been what they did. Cause they didn't

364
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:32,960
start until six o'clock last night, six to nine. Well, he must've done that. So that's,

365
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:38,040
I would do that. That's not too bad. I guess. Does that come with 10 drinks? I don't think

366
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:43,800
anything's included in that. Yeah. That's too bad. Oh, there's memberships. I'm sure

367
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:48,880
by a hundred, get one free anal select. So three hours. So any day, any time with our

368
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:55,120
monthly unlimited access membership, 225 bucks a month. That's annual. Yep. Oh, you'll select.

369
00:30:55,120 --> 00:31:04,040
Yeah. Three hours. So any day, any time with our monthly unlimited access member membership.

370
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:10,120
So three hours. So any day. So is that like one time or any, or you can, you can go in

371
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:16,880
there up to three hours every day, every day. So it sounds like to me for 225 bucks a month.

372
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,520
If you're, if you're really into that, it's kind of a no brainer to do that membership.

373
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:26,560
Oh yeah. No brainer. Yeah. I like to do the Dead Sea soak cause that's got all that salt

374
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:32,280
in it. So you've the higher the salinity that you float at the top, that salt holds

375
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:39,040
you up. Are you able to do this in our own tub? If you put a bunch of salt in your tub,

376
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:45,440
yes. Interesting. That'd be kind of tedious. Be lots of salt too. Then you have to dissolve

377
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:53,840
it. It's just swirling your tub for two hours and you got like three inches of salt at the

378
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:59,680
bottom. He's like, why is it I'm not floating? Nothing to solving. Yeah. That, that won't

379
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:05,880
go bad in a hurry. Yeah. Anyway, maybe, maybe in the springtime we look at it. I don't

380
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:11,560
know. Yeah. I'm not, um, I will say this. So I started reading this new book, uh, and

381
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:17,160
it had to, it really talked about diet, uh, and exercise. But one of the things that jumped

382
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:22,080
out at me is they had like a checklist of if you're healthy or not. And they'd asked,

383
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:28,160
do you do a cold plunge or do you put yourself in a hot situation? I guess like hot yoga

384
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:33,540
or like a sauna shower. And it says, that's like really important for our bodies to do

385
00:32:33,540 --> 00:32:38,160
a cold plunge. That gets the circulation going. Yeah. And to do a sauna thing. It also supposed

386
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:44,880
to stimulate, uh, like brain development. Really? Yeah. It puts your body into some

387
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,480
sort of fight or flight mode or something like that. And you're, cause you're like grasping

388
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:53,760
for air and it's like super cold stuff. Those cold plunges is supposed to shock your body

389
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,920
into focus. Well, would you guys do the old polar bear thing where you're like on the

390
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:02,800
edge of a lake and they're having to break the ice and you're jumping in there? Is that

391
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:07,520
dangerous? Don't people get trapped under the ice and die? Yeah. But hopefully, well,

392
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,720
there's other ones as well where they're like on the, on the beaches of Lake Michigan,

393
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:16,840
when it's like zero degrees out there, I run in, they run back out. I have never done that.

394
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:23,400
Would I do it? It depends on how much alcohol is involved. I don't know. There you go. So

395
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:29,460
studies suggest that cold plunges may stimulate your immune system, potentially reducing the

396
00:33:29,460 --> 00:33:33,680
risk of infections. Uh, cold plunges do lots of things. I'll tell you one thing that I

397
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,160
know and I don't even have to look at this as, uh, and this is something for those folks

398
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:43,840
out there that have panic attacks, uh, panic attack, cold shower. It'll, it'll reset you

399
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,720
in a hurry, huh? Yep. It'll changes everything. And it doesn't even have to be that cold.

400
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:52,040
I mean, my pool's probably what? 55 degrees. I don't, well, no, can't probably not that

401
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:56,240
cold, but it will be right. But as soon as we get a couple of weeks into this, you should

402
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:01,560
try it. You and Shelly just jump in there, just boom, hot right back out. I guarantee

403
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,320
is cold enough for it to do whatever you're saying needs to be done. I mean, look, all

404
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:10,080
you gotta do is get the hot tub rolling. Oh yeah. Get the hot tub rolling and hell you

405
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:16,080
and I've been out there in the cold with the hot tub rolling and we didn't even think about

406
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:21,760
jumping in the cold water. No, that didn't. But I may, we should, I think maybe I will

407
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:26,640
now see, well up until this point I was like, Oh, it's just a, you're being stupid. Yeah.

408
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,080
You're being silly and fun. Well, are you off the rest of the week? But if you're saying

409
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:37,880
it's like healthy for you, it also helps repair muscles like, like ice baths. Uh, that's why

410
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,840
you see all like the football players and basketball players, athletes, they sit in

411
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:47,600
the ice bath. I said it improves your blood circulation, your blood pressure. Yes. I'd

412
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:53,560
be in benefits for your skin health, cognitive function, sleep quality. I should have maybe

413
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:58,920
next time Julie runs a marathon, I was like for the hotel, I'm just going to go to get

414
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,520
a shit ton of ice, put it in the bathtub, fill it up and you're going to get in for

415
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:10,360
a minute. Interesting. That's free ice. They take 20 minutes to build up and all the other

416
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:16,120
tourists are like, there's no fucking eyes. What the fuck man? I have this big old garbage

417
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:21,400
bag full and they look at the video. This man took 449 trips to the ice machine. What

418
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:30,680
an asshole. And 20 pounds of ice. Right. A little tiny bucket. Right. I mean, even, even

419
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,560
if without ice, I mean, it's great to have the ice for some of those, those cold plunges,

420
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,600
but I mean, just really you could turn on the cold shower. Oh yeah. Cold shower does

421
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:43,600
the same thing. Oh yeah. Anything that's going to like just put your body into like any,

422
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,800
take your time. Your, your, yeah. Anytime your breath is taken away is based on what

423
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:51,040
Dr. O'Neill says. Anytime your breath is taken away like that, it sets, reset your system

424
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:55,080
almost. She, well the problem here in, at least in my house, I don't know if you guys

425
00:35:55,080 --> 00:36:00,720
experienced in the summertime, I don't have cold water. Hmm. My pipes run through the

426
00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:07,960
roof to come down and when it's 105 out and it's 200 degrees in the attic, the coldest

427
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:12,680
you can get it is like lukewarm. Oh yeah. I'm like barely have to turn the hot water

428
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:18,680
on at all during the summertime. Oh, I, you know what? I never really take cold showers,

429
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:23,260
so I wouldn't know if mines like that or not. Well, I don't want a hot shower in the summer,

430
00:36:23,260 --> 00:36:27,360
so I'll keep, I just keep turning it. I was like, all right, that's where it needs to

431
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:32,800
be. Interesting. But yeah, I don't have to turn really much hot water all on at the summertime.

432
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:37,480
Interesting. All right. Can I take a little bit of a hard left to go over some current

433
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:41,280
events? Well, I mean, we were talking about the cold plunges and stuff like that and the,

434
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:46,360
the Greenland has a bunch of cold plunging you can do there. Do they have any spas and

435
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:50,620
mineral? Well, they've got underground rivers in Greenland. They got plenty of precious

436
00:36:50,620 --> 00:36:57,860
minerals and speaking of underground river, there is a underground freshwater river that

437
00:36:57,860 --> 00:37:04,320
goes underneath Hawaii. Really? Under the water and it's fresh water. It's fresh water

438
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:10,960
and it comes up and it goes under the water and under the ground, under the ground. I

439
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:15,520
don't know if it's, I don't know how far down it goes, but it's way down deep and it goes

440
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:21,840
out into the ocean and it comes up and they capture the water. The winery that we go to,

441
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:26,200
or maybe it was the one of the, the winery, the distillery, it was a distillery. The oceans

442
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:36,960
organic captures that water to use for their vodka. Before it's mixed with ocean water.

443
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:41,640
Correct. Yeah. They've, they've capped it somehow. That's fascinating. Yeah. Yeah. So

444
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:47,960
yeah, there's, there's some kind of deep sea, freshwater river that empties. So they discovered

445
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,320
this is not, it's actually kind of based on this, this article I'm reading right here.

446
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:57,000
It says they discovered it in like 2020. Oh, I don't know, but I was, I didn't know. I'm

447
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:04,000
sorry. I misspoke. It says, uh, the last 30 years. So I mean, okay. So I mean, Hawaii,

448
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:09,440
obviously those are volcanic. They're created by a soft spot in the crust to make volcanic

449
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:16,720
islands. Okay. Purely volcanic activity. But I mean, it's a full tropical ecosystem, right?

450
00:38:16,720 --> 00:38:21,080
So it's got tons of rain, lots of rain, tons of freshwater dropping on it. So obviously that

451
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:26,160
stuff goes somewhere. Well, there we go. We've got a graphic on the screen here. Thank you,

452
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:31,040
Mr. producer. Uh, all right. So it's, so there are several underground rivers in Hawaii, including

453
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:39,600
the Hawaii, uh, a U W a Y. There's also the Makiki stream, the M a K I K I stream, uh, an irrigation

454
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:45,120
network of underground streams that once crisscrossed the Hawaiian landscape, the Awao'i would carry

455
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:50,480
water from one patch of land to another, eventually returned to the salt ponds and fish ponds.

456
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:54,880
Okay. Maybe I'll just correct. Well, keep in mind, this is, you were soaking all this up while

457
00:38:54,880 --> 00:39:02,000
you're tasting those drunk. Oh dude. I mean the, the amount of those Mabu, Mabu, Bobby freaking

458
00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:07,920
drinks you were having every two seconds, you were popping a new picture of an umbrella pineapple

459
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:12,000
drink. And we're like, Hey, make sure you send pics of Hawaii. Dude, it's four in the morning.

460
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:18,320
What the fuck is wrong with you? It was, I counted 1182 drink. I had lots of my ties. Yeah. So that

461
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,000
was my goal. I was, I was going to drink a bunch of my ties cause it's basically fruit juice and

462
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:30,320
booze. Yeah. And, uh, I did. So I would just say that any like savvy knowledge you gained on this trip

463
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:34,720
is probably needs to be fact checked. Yeah. Well, I was correct about the underground river, right?

464
00:39:34,720 --> 00:39:41,040
I didn't know how far away it was. So anyway, I thought that was fascinating. Yeah, that is fascinating.

465
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:46,080
That is fascinating. Uh, you know, going back to Greenland, that was in the news recently because

466
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,520
Trump was like, we're taking over Greenland and taking all the weird earth mills. We're going to

467
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:56,160
buy it. We'll crush you and the Panama canal. Um, yeah. So I read something very interesting. I

468
00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:00,480
thought it was a, just him being goofy. You know, I really didn't understand where the Greenland

469
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:07,120
thing came from. I mean, just ignorance, right? But it turns out it is of vital importance to the

470
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:14,800
future of not only the United States, but the Arctic region in terms of freedom, uh, freedom of

471
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:21,040
that area, because it's a very highly sought after piece of land, right? It's got rare earth

472
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:27,200
minerals that everybody understands what that means for future, for future technology, right?

473
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:34,720
And by the way, future technology leads into what future war? 56,000 inhabitants. Yeah. It's, it's

474
00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:40,080
like nobody there and nobody wants to live there. Oh yeah. It's miserable. Is it, is it miserable?

475
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,840
I don't know. I mean, what's the weather in Greenland?

476
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:50,160
Well, it's so green besides fucking cold. Well, it's interesting that they named it Greenland,

477
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:54,640
which is ice and Iceland, which is green. Yeah. So it really should be white land.

478
00:40:54,640 --> 00:41:00,480
Well, no, I mean, I'm thinking 75% of the Vikings did that on purpose as a, as a deterrent.

479
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:06,480
Could be 75% of Greenland is covered by a permanent sheet of ice. I'm saying like it's,

480
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:11,760
and also that, that ice they've got, they've got underground rivers under the ice,

481
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,840
under, I should say underground, but under the ice, they've got rivers running everywhere.

482
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:22,960
And it's all natural water. You know, they say that if the entire, uh, Greenland ice were to melt,

483
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:28,720
it would raise the earth, uh, like an inch raise the earth, raise the earth, a water level, sea level.

484
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,520
So here's the interesting thing I learned about Greenland and why Trump's even talking about it.

485
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,920
Cause I was like rare earth minerals. Yeah, that's important, but we just found out we have a massive

486
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:43,760
lithium, uh, you know, deposit or reservoir or whatever you call it. Nevada somewhere. Right.

487
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,600
Right. So I was like, okay, well maybe we don't care about Greenland as much cause we just found

488
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,200
we have all that shit. There's a, there's a bunch of other shit there. Well, the environment,

489
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:56,720
the environmentalists are causing problems to be able to dig for that. Oh yeah. You're going to

490
00:41:56,720 --> 00:42:01,280
kill the one winged butterfly or something. Oh, right. Right. But here's the one winged,

491
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:06,800
the more interesting thing. It's a pair of selling fly. The more interesting thing to me was the

492
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:12,160
defense part of it. So they're saying that now that the, the, you know, there's new sea passages,

493
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:17,520
right? And China's vying for this Russia's vying for this. Cause you know, remember, well Russia,

494
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:22,240
especially cause they're in the Arctic region, but they're saying missile defense locations.

495
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:28,480
Oh, 100%. I mean, this is, you don't want that to go, uh, you do not want Greenland to be, I mean,

496
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:33,040
cause really it's a, it's a last line of defense before to get to the United States for submarines.

497
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:37,600
I mean, imagine that especially over the Arctic. That's what I'm saying. I mean, it's like it's

498
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:46,000
strategically positioned to defend from attack over the Arctic pole. You see what I'm saying?

499
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:52,160
Yeah. And you, so yeah, I didn't realize that part of it was so important. So anyway, this guy that

500
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,440
I don't even remember his name. I kind of read it to you guys in the green room, but, um,

501
00:42:56,160 --> 00:43:01,840
he was advocating that it's so critical that we partner with Denmark, partner with Greenland all

502
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:08,400
of 56,000 of them, I guess. And, uh, and we build up, we build up the infrastructure on that, on

503
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:14,240
that. Is it, it's not an Island. Is it an Island? It's an Island. It's an Island, right? We should

504
00:43:14,240 --> 00:43:20,160
know this. No, it's not an Island. Greenland is an Island. Yeah, it is an Island. It's not a continent.

505
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,680
It's on the continental plate. North American continental plate. Is it?

506
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:27,600
It's definitely not a continent. It's not a continent. It's not part of the seven continents.

507
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:33,200
Is it part of North America? No, I don't know. Oh, actually it is part of North America. Yeah.

508
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,600
You know what? Let's fact check that. Yeah. Help us out here. If Greenland's,

509
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:42,000
if Greenland is an Island, how come Australia is not? Yeah, there you go. Greenland is a North

510
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:46,880
American Island, autonomous territory of the kingdom of Denmark. So it is an Island. It's just

511
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:52,720
a large, very large. Yeah. So I guess there's no, also it's super large, depending what map you get.

512
00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:58,640
There you go. I guess there's no size limit on Island. You know what I mean? Why is an African

513
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:04,560
an Island? Well, why isn't, you know, that whole South America, North American Island? Jeff,

514
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:08,960
I don't think we can answer that in this podcast. I mean, think about Australia. Yeah. Why isn't

515
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:13,440
Australia an Island? Because they declared it a continent. Why isn't Africa an Island? Because

516
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:18,000
they declared it a continent. I mean, I guess Greenland could have been a continent, but.

517
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:23,920
Is England an Island? They were just an Island. Yes. The Isle of England? It's not a continent.

518
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:28,080
It's part of Europe. Great Britain is an Island, yes. Island is a series of Islands. I don't know.

519
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,120
I don't know the answer. I do know the answer to that. Yeah, but it's not. Yeah, it's considered

520
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,800
an Island. I didn't know Greenland was an Island though. I didn't know that either. I may have

521
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,640
known that when I was in like middle school, but. I did not know that. I don't know it now. Anyway,

522
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:42,640
it's fascinating. I think they're actually called, because when you think about it, it's part of a

523
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:49,760
region. So it's North American region, not North American continent. Yeah. So the, like the UK

524
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:54,640
would be in the European region. Well, the continent is the continental plate, right?

525
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:59,920
Yeah. Just because it's an Island doesn't mean it's not part of a continent, right? There are

526
00:44:59,920 --> 00:45:05,120
tons of Islands off of Australia. So you're saying that these are, we have seven continental plates

527
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:12,080
that we're referring to? Yes. Oh, oh yeah. See now that size makes it look much more plausible to be

528
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:20,160
an Island. The other map we're looking at, it was as large as Africa. And remember we looked at

529
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:28,240
Antarctica and it was like, it never ended. I mean, it was ginormous. Interesting. I wonder,

530
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:37,760
is that a big tourist spot? No. Do people, I mean, are there tours to Greenland? I'm sure there are.

531
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:44,400
Yeah. For scientists. I mean, nook. I don't know. I mean, maybe that's one of the places, you know,

532
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,200
that people should go. I'd like to actually go maybe the summertime, because I could do that

533
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:52,320
walk around. How long could you stay there though? You go fishing, I guess. What else are you going

534
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:56,960
to do? They have ice fishing. They have world springs there. Do they have some good bourbon?

535
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:03,600
I'm sure they do. What's the, what's the local drink of choice in Greenland? Oh boy. Probably

536
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:13,280
fish soup. Oh, like booze. Fermented fish soup. My ties. I wouldn't think so. I wouldn't either.

537
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:17,120
All right. Moving on to the second half of this conversation, the Panama Canal.

538
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:22,640
Why is Trump talking about the Panama Canal? It just seems so random, right? Well, because they,

539
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:30,240
so it is random. They talked about it, but the Panama, the Panamanians have been overcharging

540
00:46:30,240 --> 00:46:35,120
folks to get through the Panama Canal. So whiskey. Yeah. They have been, they're

541
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,480
called as a whiskey out there. They're denying. Okay. Yeah. Going back to the people of Greenland

542
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:42,400
also love whiskey. It's part of their everyday life from the morning till late evening. I like

543
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:48,000
them already. Wow. Wow. From morning until late evening. Whiskey has been made with unpeated

544
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:52,960
barley and aged al rosa sherry casts. What do 1845 would do out there? I bet it'd do well.

545
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:58,000
Be really well. You think they have it there? Specks. I don't think they're going to be able to

546
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:04,240
gain the flavors from their pecan orchard. Yeah. Maybe not specs. And look, anyway, going back to

547
00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:10,560
the Panama Canal. Uh, so they deny that they are overcharging anybody, especially the United States.

548
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:15,520
Of course they do. Right. So I don't, I don't know what's going on. I mean, you know, of course

549
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:22,000
Trump is like going in all hot and heavy. Well, Trump is big about, uh, America getting its, its

550
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:27,760
fair shake, right? Because we've overpaid on everything for so long. Yeah. We've been

551
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:33,520
taken advantage of. No question about it. They know all that shit that, uh, he, he, you know,

552
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:37,120
clamped down on last time and imagine he's going to do the same thing this time. And maybe Panama

553
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:42,800
Canal is another thing. He's like, yeah, you're charging this country this much and you're charging

554
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:48,160
us this much. Right. What's going on? Why is our stuff more money? You know, what's interesting

555
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:54,880
about Panama Canal? My family has a ton of history on the Panama Canal. My grandmother. As slaves?

556
00:47:54,880 --> 00:48:03,520
Wow. No. They built it? Yeah. Being a hundred percent serious. Uh, I mean, remember when they

557
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:07,040
brought all those workers down there to work on the Panama Canal, they need, they brought their

558
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:12,640
families and they had schools and they had churches and they, so all of that was like considered,

559
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:17,920
you know, the, the entire system put together to build the Panama Canal. But apparently I'm trying

560
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:23,440
to remember what the family history is, but my grandmother, my grandmother was a little girl there

561
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:33,040
in Panama and, uh, she grew up there and my, uh, my, my mom and her sister were little girls there.

562
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:38,400
I mean, we have a ton of history there and somebody was a carpenter. I, I wish I remembered

563
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:44,000
what all the Panamanian, uh, canal history is, but it's fascinating. I know it was a big deal.

564
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:49,040
When they shut down, not shut down, but transferred ownership or whatever management

565
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:56,480
for the Panama Canal. My brother-in-law was down there and he did that. Yeah. It was 1977.

566
00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:01,920
And that was a Jimmy Carter who rest in peace. No, he, no, he didn't know when they transferred

567
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:09,200
power. It was not the seventies. Yeah, it was. It was 1977. Well, when they, well, he did something

568
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:13,120
down there where he, maybe he closed the base down. Maybe that would have been, that's what it was.

569
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:21,120
Um, yeah, 1999, that's when he was there. Okay. So it says, uh, one of Jimmy Carter's greatest

570
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:26,800
accomplishments was negotiating the blah blah blah treaty ratified the US Senate in 1978. These

571
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:32,320
treaties gave the nation of Panama, eventual control of the Panama Canal in 1999. Oh yeah.

572
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:36,880
Eventual control. Yeah. We'll talk about Jim Carter and their second half because we're, we're, we're

573
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:42,480
running up on a stop here and I want to make sure we talk about our bourbon as well. Oh yeah. Good.

574
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:48,880
To go back to how much they're charging. So there are, they are charging way out because I've got,

575
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,800
I've got two different charges. So they've got four, how much time do we have Chuck?

576
00:49:54,480 --> 00:50:00,800
Uh, we, we have about 15 minutes. 15. Okay. So the, the Panama, uh, so like for a yacht,

577
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:06,720
it's, uh, it's just under two grand just to have, let's say I have a 40 foot yacht, 65 foot yacht.

578
00:50:06,720 --> 00:50:12,240
Damn. And to, to, to, to traverse through the Panama Canal, the charge almost two grand.

579
00:50:12,240 --> 00:50:20,560
All right. Not only the two grand, but you have to pay a $75, uh, inspection fee and a $165

580
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:27,920
security charge. What if I have just like a canoe? Uh, kayak. Well, it doesn't get into those costs,

581
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:35,280
but the big thing, which Trump was referring to, uh, they're charging between 60,000 and $300,000

582
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,240
for certain large vessel boats to go through. Just American.

583
00:50:40,240 --> 00:50:47,040
Uh, across the board. So prior to the expansion of the canal, uh, uh, transit cost was 461,000.

584
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:51,280
Oh, big time. I mean, that's like the toll road.

585
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:56,960
So then the record jumped to 1.1 million. It estimated the canal supplies, 12% of Panama's

586
00:50:56,960 --> 00:51:02,320
gross domestic product. So, I mean, dude, come on, think about it. They're overcharging. So that is

587
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:08,160
ridiculous. Can you imagine the boat and you have how many containers on a boat, you know, 150,

588
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:14,640
200 containers, 500, 1000. I don't know. Yeah. Thousands. You know, stack of, you know,

589
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:20,560
they're about like four or five tall. And I mean, it just, that is, I mean, they're saying

590
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:26,880
four hundred and sixty one thousand to 1.1 million. 15,000. So, I mean, how do you guys feel about the

591
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:33,920
fact that the U S like solely built it and, and to the tune of like 30,000 workers dying from

592
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:38,240
malaria and shit like that or yellow fever or whatever it was. I mean, should it have been a

593
00:51:38,240 --> 00:51:43,600
situation was like, no, we built it and it was our blood, sweat and tears and we're going to

594
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:51,120
run it and own it forever. Would that have been unfair? When was it built? Uh, turn of the century,

595
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:57,200
right? Uh, so maybe that would, maybe that's what the negotiation was back then. Hey, although no,

596
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:04,720
that was during the Jimmy Carter era that the negotiate, I don't know. May 4, 1904. I don't know.

597
00:52:04,720 --> 00:52:10,320
How many boats or ships go through that a day? How many ships could go through the Panama Canal in a

598
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:18,800
day and then do, let's do the math. Is it 10? Is it a hundred? I don't know. I don't know. Oh no,

599
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:24,000
I imagine it's a lot more than that. I mean, it's 24 hours, but what did it have been wrong to like

600
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:30,640
retain control? I think so. I don't think that we want any part of that. Look, it's just, it's,

601
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:36,480
look, we, we made that, we, we funded a shitload of money to get that done because we had a strategic

602
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:42,640
interest in it. The world has a strategic interest in it. It's not just us, you know, because all the

603
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:47,040
other countries want to run through that canal too. They don't want to go all the way around. Right.

604
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:52,320
That's ridiculous. Panama is extorting that money. So I mean, I think Trump is absolutely

605
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:57,600
100% correct. Yeah. That's bullshit that they're charging that much. Well, it says in 2022,

606
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:02,480
they average 39 ships per day at 300,000. That's about $12 billion a day.

607
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:08,320
Damn. Well, I mean, you'd have to ask, what does it take to, okay. It's not, it's not simple shit

608
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:12,960
that's going on there. Right. I mean, you're, you're all, well, yeah, but there's, they have to

609
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:17,440
dredge. I know they have to routinely dredge it and they have to, I mean, so the question is how

610
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:23,760
much goes into maintaining that all that shit, the equipment and the, and the doors and the dredging.

611
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:29,200
I mean, so we got to know the details behind that. Right. So then you had that one boat that was all

612
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:37,120
cockeyed that went in there, got stuck in the Suez Canal. What a shit show that was. It's kind of

613
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:42,640
same concept though, but I guess the Panama Canal has got like concrete on other, you know, they're

614
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:49,040
within a fixed walls on either side. Is that what it is? I don't know. Yeah. Suez Canal has shores.

615
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:54,240
Right. Right. I don't know. That's a good question. But yeah, both of them are critical,

616
00:53:54,240 --> 00:53:57,360
but more importantly, there's a bourbon we need to talk about.

617
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:08,080
And what is it gentlemen? John hasn't even had any yet. What's up with that? Are you okay? Well,

618
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:13,440
the drink of the day is the Jack Daniel's bottled in bond Tennessee whiskey bourbon. Oh, we've had

619
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:17,600
it before. And what size is that bottle, Sean? It's a 700 milliliter bottle because they're

620
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:23,920
trying to give us the shaft. Yeah. Is it really? 700. Yep. What? Yeah. That's the new thing. The

621
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:28,640
kind of, yeah, we don't feel like making extra bottles because in Europe they make 700 milliliters.

622
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,920
So we're just going to match it. And we're going to discount it. We're going to discount it. Yeah.

623
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:39,360
Bullshit. Yeah. Discount anything. Ooh, fancy website. So I'm a fan of Jack Daniel's. I do.

624
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:44,880
You know, it's got a unique taste to it. And this is just Jack Daniel's on steroids, in my opinion.

625
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:51,280
Regular Jack Daniel's is 80 proof, 85 proof, 90 proof. All right. This is bottled in bonds.

626
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:55,920
It's a little bit, uh, it's not dumbed down as much. It's got a lot more flavor. Oh yeah.

627
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:59,040
It's excellent. Actually. That's good. I like it. I like it a lot.

628
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:04,480
It's very tasty. Although Julie liked the wilderness trail better than this.

629
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:09,280
Oh, well the wilderness trail that we had, uh, and we pre-gamed with that because of the,

630
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:13,680
we introduced that bottle to our, we dumped four ounces into the infinity bottle of the

631
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:19,840
wilderness trail. Yeah. Four ounces of the, the, the wilderness truck. It's very nutty. Um, I

632
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:24,480
enjoyed it. It's, uh, it's basically, it's, it's nutty. It was like a, it's like a granola nut.

633
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:31,680
I mean, was it a four grain or a weeded? It's, I didn't see what it, it didn't say that. It said

634
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:44,800
bourbon. Uh, it didn't. So it said it was barrel is a bourbon 100 single barrel, 185 of 250

635
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:53,600
wilderness trail barrel one six to 21 G. Yeah. I didn't see where it said weed or anything. Does

636
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:59,520
it say it on there? It just says bourbon. So I guess it's just a good old fashioned. All right.

637
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:04,080
So the Jack Daniel's sold out Jack Daniel's the bottle bottles. Jack's time honored the recipe

638
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:11,760
of 80% corn, 12% malt, barley, and 8% rye. We just jumped from, uh, uh, the wilderness trail over to

639
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:16,480
the Jack Daniel's, uh, bottled and bond. Uh, so the barrels were hand selected for their unique

640
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:21,200
and particular characteristics of deeper color, a color flavor and aroma, which bring a darker,

641
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:26,240
richer, and more Oak Ford character. The Jack Daniel's bonded, uh, big bowl Tennessee whiskey

642
00:56:26,240 --> 00:56:31,040
at Hunter proof with layered notes of caramel, rich Oak spice giving away, uh, to a pleasantly

643
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:37,600
lingering finish. Easy to drink. It really is super easy, super easy to drink. And it's not

644
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:44,560
ridiculously priced. Even though it's under 700 milliliters is bothersome, but, uh, it's, uh,

645
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:49,600
under 50 bucks. Yeah. And it's, and I don't even really care about 700. I mean, if they're going

646
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:53,600
to do it to make all of them 700 milliliter, I mean, why are you doing that? I feel like

647
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:59,200
they're ripping us off. Well, because they're one of the few bourbons that probably focus on

648
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:04,240
the European market. Right. And so they have to make it that size bottle and they're probably

649
00:57:04,240 --> 00:57:09,920
not willing to do a seven 15 United States and 700, but they make so much money. I know. Come on.

650
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:16,560
Or do they sell more? Uh, although they can't sell, they can't sell some of the fifties in Europe.

651
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:22,480
That's why they can sell seven fifties and 700 here. Think about it. Yeah. But they do have 750

652
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:26,160
milliliter Jack Daniel's bottles. It's just the bottom bond. Isn't that's what I mean? They can't,

653
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:31,040
they only want to make one bottle, right? Europe forces them into it and they can get away with,

654
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:36,560
and they can get away with 50 less milliliters for the same price in the United States. So,

655
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:41,200
Hey, why not? I feel, I feel ripped off. I know, but the flavor is there. I don't feel ripped off

656
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:46,880
for the flavor. It's very tasty. Have you highly recommended? So you neither. Well, I know you,

657
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:53,680
Ooh, I have been to the story. Cause I was like, have you guys been there? And I knowing that you

658
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:57,840
haven't, it just makes it seem more snobby. I'm going to go, I'm going to buy a barrel from there.

659
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:07,200
I already did. We should do that in harmony. Um, anyway, uh, they have very,

660
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:12,160
really, wow. They had the very unique where they do the ricks, the, the, the, they,

661
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:18,800
they stack the wood in like a, like Jenga, you know, the, the ricks. Yes. They have these little

662
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:25,040
strips of, uh, of, of the wood. We don't have video. Maple wood. And then they, and then they

663
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:32,720
burn that, you know, stack of, of maple wood, Rick sticks. And then they, uh, and then they fill,

664
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:39,040
yeah, they fill this giant ginormous vat. And then they drip, they literally drip the distillate

665
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:45,920
through it. And it's at the, at the bottom, it's like, and that's regular jacking. So they don't

666
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:51,200
age it in barrels. I think they do that as well. It's mellowed though. It's mellowed through

667
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:56,320
charcoal mellowed before it's put into the barrel. Right. And then if it's, if they take it,

668
00:58:56,320 --> 00:59:01,920
is that the, is that what they call the Jefferson County technique or Lincoln County,

669
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:06,160
whatever it is, something like that. You know, it was interesting that from 1845 distillery,

670
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:10,320
shout out to those from the Lowry crossing, uh, Bob Pettit was talking about how the, the charcoal

671
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:15,760
itself, I always thought it was a flavor enhancer, you know, the charcoal, but it actually, it's a

672
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:19,920
filter. Yeah. So charcoal is a filter. Yeah. I never, I mean, yeah, you think about it in water,

673
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:25,440
of course it's going to filter, but you know, it actually filters and cleans the bourbon as it's

674
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:36,640
passing through, uh, the, the Oak barrel, but you're, you're talking about, you mentioned that they've got the Jenga, uh, wood stack. So are you saying they, they drip the bourbon through that stack?

675
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:44,240
The first thing they do is they take these maple, maple strips of wood, they stack it up really high. If you want to take a picture of it, show us a picture of it.

676
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:54,080
But so you said it's maple and it's not Oak. Uh, but that's for the mellowing, right? That's not for where they age it. So they stack these things up and then they burn it. Right.

677
00:59:54,080 --> 01:00:00,000
I think it's, I think it's pine. They make it, it might be, it might be pine that that or the compressed wood.

678
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:11,120
MDF, it's MDF. But anyway, so they, they create, they take all that charcoal that they create from the maple wood, right. And they fill this gigantic bat and then they drip the distillate through it.

679
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:17,360
Once for Jack Daniels, twice for Kentucky gentlemen, right? Twice smooth. Not Kentucky gentlemen. Um,

680
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:27,280
Jack, gentlemen, Jack, gentlemen, Jack. Thank you. God, it's not anyway. And then, then they barrel barrel it. So that's what they say the mellowing, right? It's they've been, you know,

681
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:33,200
Anyway, there we go. So show that, uh, not that one over right there.

682
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:46,000
Yeah, it's a giant. Okay. That's the Lincoln County process. Like you were just talking about. Right. So there they take those charcoals and throw them in a big old that that and then drip shit in a drip.

683
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:57,200
The distillate through it. And then they barrel it and then they bottle it. So anyway, it's an interesting thing. And it makes it gives it a unique taste for sure.

684
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:06,320
Charcoal mellowing. So they chop up the charcoal as well. It looks like correct. They got it grounded in there. Correct. That looks kind of cool. It is. It is cool. A little bit of rebar.

685
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:36,240
Yeah. A lot of interesting. There's a lot of stuff that, you know, when you, when you get the store and you see all these bottles up, you're kind of like, what the hell? I don't get it. What's what? You know, it's, it's kind of like you get overwhelmed. Like, you know, 10 years ago, when we're looking at all these 1500 different types of beer, you know, like what the hell? I mean, this one's different. They're all different. There's a thousand recipes and now bourbon is exactly the same. And there's a story behind every single one of them and a family pride and, and, and how they got started and, and, you know,

686
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,160
this is how Papa lost his thumb.

687
01:01:38,760 --> 01:02:00,680
Exactly. And, or ended up in the barrel. So now we have to put a thumb in every barrel. Right. That's the flavor profile or fascinating stories as well is, is where they, they were lost in prohibition, like so thousands of distilleries went out of business and never to return. Right. And now you hear these stories of these guys that were part of that family, right. The lineage.

688
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:13,680
And they found the recipe found the recipe in some fricking library under like microfiche, right. Like you were joking in the last podcast and, and the green, green mountain.

689
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:24,000
No, it's in Nashville. Green Hill. They changed their name. It's what are the, give me the stories in Nashville. And I, cause I, my sister and I went there and the green man, Alicia.

690
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:46,960
No uncle nearest. No, no, in Nashville. Anyway, so great hills. They didn't even realize that nearest green whiskey. No, it's called as soon as he shows it. There it is. Nielsen Nielsen. Greenbrier distillery. Nelson's Nelson greenbrier distillery.

691
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:59,960
That's it. I was close. Yeah, you were. Okay. So my, my sister and I were there and this fascinating story because they were visiting. They knew that their family was in the distillation business way back when during before prohibition.

692
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:10,240
They didn't even know that they, that they, anyway, they, they did research and they figured out, oh my God, that was our great, great grandfather. And they found the recipe and boom, they're making it.

693
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:12,240
That's the way I feel about Pabst blue ribbon beer.

694
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,240
That's right. That was your,

695
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:17,240
I may have some lineage there.

696
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:30,240
Oh, Nelson bros. We see that we don't have any of it, but it changed names. So I think we have, we have the one prior to that. It was Bordeaux. It was a, it was a hockey player's name.

697
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:33,240
Gretzky.

698
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:36,240
No, no, no, no. I think it was a, he was a goalie.

699
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:41,240
No, it, it, um, it still was Nelson's.

700
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:46,240
Oh, maybe part of it was retained either the green or the Nelson's.

701
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:47,240
Was it Belle Meade?

702
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:50,240
Belle Meade. That's it. That's exactly what it was. Yeah.

703
01:03:50,240 --> 01:04:02,240
Yeah. Cause when I was there, it was Belle Meade. It was not Nelson's green brayer. So anyway, fascinating story. And I think that's my point though is so much of this shit. It just steeped in history, man.

704
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:03,240
Right.

705
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:06,240
It's cool stuff. Anyway, all right. So what do we think about this?

706
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:08,240
Uh, I know we said we liked it.

707
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:17,240
I enjoyed it. This is a hundred proof. So it's got a, again, ultimately we need to have our hundred proofs up here so we can say, okay, what are we comparing this against? Um.

708
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:22,240
It doesn't taste like a hundred proof. I will tell you that. It tastes like an 80 proof bourbon. No.

709
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:23,240
No.

710
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:24,240
Let me rephrase that.

711
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:25,240
The burn. There is no burn.

712
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:26,240
Yes.

713
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:27,240
It has a lot of flavor.

714
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:34,240
It's as smooth, it's as smooth as an 80 proof bourbon, but it's got the richness and the flavor of 115.

715
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:43,240
So Mr. Producer's got his glass. Hold your glass up. Mr. Producer. He has just as much as I do. Is that bottle back there? Cause if it is, I swear to God.

716
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:45,240
You sons of bitches.

717
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:47,240
It's gone.

718
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:55,240
And is there a tube running from the producer underneath the table into Sean's glass? What's going on here? Why have you not touched your glass, Sean?

719
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:56,240
I've been sipping it.

720
01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:57,240
Well.

721
01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:58,240
That's abnormal.

722
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:01,240
We have like six, we got like four minutes left in the pocket.

723
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:02,240
Jeff's is gone.

724
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:03,240
Yeah, mine's gone. I enjoyed it.

725
01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:05,240
See? Fist bump to a real man.

726
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:06,240
Yeah. Oh.

727
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:07,240
Yep.

728
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:09,240
Did you just down it?

729
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:12,240
No, I enjoyed it. If you like Jack Daniels, you'll like this.

730
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:13,240
Oh yeah, it's outstanding.

731
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:16,240
Yeah, it's good. It's good. I mean.

732
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:18,240
Let's rate it.

733
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:28,240
I gotta tell you. I like, when I go to the movie theater, I like to go get those Reese's Pieces.

734
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:34,240
And I'm one of these guys that will take a handful of Reese's Pieces and shove them all in my mouth.

735
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:35,240
And then.

736
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:36,240
And then swoosh it.

737
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:37,240
And then chew it for 45 minutes.

738
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:39,240
Well, you know, for a long time.

739
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:40,240
That's disgusting.

740
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:41,240
No, I mean, I'm not like, I'm just saying.

741
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:43,240
They're like peanut butter, saliva.

742
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:49,240
Yeah. I want to eat it for, you know, like, you know, a minute, two minutes, and then he's slurping on it throughout the movie.

743
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:53,240
But that's, that's, that's what I just did with this, this drink right now.

744
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:56,240
Because you know what? When it's all up in there like that, it's.

745
01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:58,240
You got to gargle with it.

746
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:01,240
Well, you know what? I just, I just took a big poll and it was fantastic.

747
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:02,240
Yeah.

748
01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:04,240
Hunter Proof, what say you, Jeff?

749
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:06,240
I'm going 7-7 on this.

750
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:09,240
I was going to go 8-2.

751
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:12,240
I'll split the difference because, to me, it's not an 8.

752
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:14,240
Right. I wasn't quite as an 8.

753
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:18,240
And it's, it's definitely 7, so I'm going to say 7-9.

754
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:19,240
Yeah.

755
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:20,240
Fair enough.

756
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:21,240
Good. That's very good. Recommended.

757
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:24,240
I will replace this if we, or.

758
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:27,240
Do we have the Excel spreadsheet over there, Mr. Producer?

759
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:30,240
I don't know. I didn't open it, so I have to show them where it's at.

760
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:32,240
All right. So we got Jeff, what was your again?

761
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:33,240
7-7.

762
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:34,240
7-7.

763
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:35,240
I would replace this.

764
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:36,240
All with 8-2.

765
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:37,240
8-2.

766
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:39,240
If we finish it, I'd replace it.

767
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:40,240
Yeah. I mean, for the price point.

768
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:42,240
But now, is it really hard to find?

769
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:43,240
No.

770
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:44,240
It's not. Okay.

771
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:47,240
I think we're going to have to add another fourth category for our producer.

772
01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:49,240
We're going to have to put P for producer.

773
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:51,240
Oh, no, no. Paul's already there.

774
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:52,240
C.

775
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:55,240
C for Chuck Starr.

776
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:01,240
Jesus. Was that really that hard?

777
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:11,240
No. Look, look, look. The thing is, is that, you know, we're, for those folks out there, we are kind of migrating producers.

778
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:14,240
Austin, our producer, he's going to be going to college.

779
01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:15,240
Yeah.

780
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:19,240
And frankly, he's busy with school right now because when I say he's going, he's already in college,

781
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:24,240
but he's going to be going away to Texas A&M, hopefully, you know.

782
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:27,240
And that means he's going to be leaving the podcast.

783
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:28,240
He won't be able to produce it.

784
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:29,240
So we're trying.

785
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:34,240
And Chuck is a longtime friend, a longtime participant with the podcast.

786
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:36,240
And we enjoy him being on here.

787
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:37,240
He's a natural fit.

788
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:39,240
Yeah. He really is good.

789
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:40,240
And spot on today.

790
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:45,240
I mean, he's going to wear the shoes well that Austin has built up for him.

791
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:47,240
So, you know, that's fantastic.

792
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:51,240
Looking forward to it, Chuck. And this is a first great podcast.

793
01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:55,240
All right. So on the second half of the podcast, we got a couple of deaths coming up.

794
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:58,240
I mean, unfortunately, we're going to talk about barely touched on Jimmy Carter.

795
01:07:58,240 --> 01:07:59,240
We'll talk about that.

796
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:00,240
We'll talk about that.

797
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:01,240
Let's talk about Jimmy Carter.

798
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:03,240
And then we'll come up on the second half.

799
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:05,240
We had someone else who died. Who was the other person?

800
01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:07,240
Bryant Gumbel.

801
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:09,240
Bryant Gumbel. Huge history with Bryant.

802
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:11,240
And he has a brother too, doesn't he? That was also.

803
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:12,240
Greg.

804
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:13,240
Greg?

805
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:14,240
Greg Gumbel.

806
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:16,240
Did they ever, were they on the same television show?

807
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:17,240
Well, I know they did.

808
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:19,240
Well, one of I think was Bryant Gumbel.

809
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:24,240
I don't know if it was a Bryant or Greg Gumbel did the HBO sports, real sports program.

810
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:26,240
I didn't even realize there were two brothers.

811
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:27,240
Yes.

812
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:31,240
If you were said Gumbel, I would have said that bad guy, that one guy.

813
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:33,240
There's a Greg and a Bryant.

814
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:36,240
Well, yeah, now that you mentioned that, I.

815
01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:38,240
Yeah, I thought he was good. You know, I didn't have any issues with him.

816
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:41,240
I don't know if he had done anything stupid or anything like that.

817
01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:46,240
But I always enjoyed his shows when I watched real sports.

818
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:49,240
We'll dive into a little bit more on the second half of the podcast.

We're looking forward to it. Direct message us.

823
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:03,240
We do take guests. We have up to two guests that we can put on here.

824
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:07,240
It's a little chaotic, but you know, we can fit you in here if, you know, it weren't it.

825
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:10,240
You know, we accept tons of people up here.

826
01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:14,240
And we've got New Year's coming around the corner.

827
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:16,240
It's tomorrow. Yeah.

828
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:18,240
New Year's Eve is tomorrow.

829
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:20,240
Big night. Yes.

830
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:23,240
Crazy. And I kind of like the fact it's kind of bittersweet.

831
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:28,240
I like having Christmas and New Year's in the middle of the week.

832
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:30,240
Yeah. Weird, though.

833
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:33,240
It is weird because it kind of queers up the time that you're working.

834
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:34,240
Two Wednesdays.

835
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:35,240
Yes, you know.

836
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:37,240
It's like a little break from work.

837
01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:40,240
It's like it's like a weekend. Work two days, weekend, work two days, weekend.

838
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:42,240
I know. Hello.

839
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:44,240
It's like being European or something. I know.

840
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:47,240

841
