She is cute.
She was.
What do you mean was?
No, she's still cute.
Come on.
She's kind of meaty.
We're talking about the AT&T girl.
She is cute.
She was.
Why do you keep saying that?
She doesn't look like that anymore.
I'm talking about the way she looks right now.
The last time I saw her on TV, she's cute.
She's busty.
Really?
According to Sean, he told me that.
You didn't know?
I don't know who said that.
What's her name?
Gage?
I have no idea what her name is.
Welcome everybody.
We haven't done a podcast in a while.
Yeah, it's been a couple, at least two weeks.
At least.
Because Paul's been sashaying around the country on his private jet with his tier ones.
Yeah, sorry guys.
I mean, you know.
That's a whole new level of tier.
It's a different tier.
It's a platinum core.
When you've got that option, you have to take it.
You know what I'm saying?
Yep, I agree.
But yeah, it's been a couple weeks.
A lot's been going on.
We'll touch base on a lot of it.
Try to get to some more light enjoyment fair.
But yeah, there's some things we need to talk about tonight.
Agreed.
That's fun things too.
Yeah.
But the first thing is, we're trying a new bourbon.
I had the opportunity to go out to the metropolis of Lubbock over Easter to visit one of my boys.
And the booze out there, the liquor stores out there have different allocation selection
than the ones here in Dallas.
Yeah, it's like a bourbon center of the South or something.
It must be.
So anyway.
It's weird.
Found a couple of them and we're trying one tonight.
Maybe more than one.
I don't know.
But it's the MB Rowland still in barrel proof, Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey.
And it is tasty.
I like it.
It is 118 proof.
So it's pretty pretty hardy.
Although according to this page here, it says it's only 113.
But my bottle says 118 proof.
It's probably a different different barrel.
Well, yeah, each barrel is a little bit different.
Good point.
So it's 72 percent white corn.
Are we allowed to say that these days?
I think you are.
That's canceled.
Yeah, it's just corn.
Oh, it's just corn.
Just corn.
It's not called allowed corn.
It's everybody corn.
17 percent rye and five percent barley.
So it's it's got a little bit of heat to it, but not too bad considering it's 118 proof.
It's got a spicy finish to it.
But it's definitely got the pepper to it.
Yeah, definitely.
Oh, there it is.
It says a hint of spiciness.
It's more than a hint.
Yeah, I'd say it's a bit slap of spiciness.
Yeah, kind of makes your lower lip kind of definitely tingle and get kind of numb.
Yeah, the tip of the tongue kind of gets.
I'm not I'm not a one to ten.
I would give it a seven.
It's nice, man.
I would agree.
I'd give that's exactly what I would give it.
I think it's seven.
I think it's seven, seven and a half.
It's not it's a good one.
Are we going with just decimals?
Give it seven point six five.
Yeah, I would give I'd give decimals in here.
Seven point one.
Let's go down to the hundred.
Now there but I'm not a huge fan.
I mean, I liked it when it first came out because it was hot and you could the flavors
were real popping.
But now it's been out for what?
Fifteen minutes.
It's kind of dulled out a little bit.
You cannot give something a seven and say you're not a fan.
That's a high number, bro.
No, it's no, it's not.
If you're what it's the difference between an F and a D. Oh, come on.
What are you saying?
Everything five and below don't even bother.
And seven is like middle of the road.
Do we got to recalibrate scales here?
That's totally wrong, in my opinion.
I think it's I think it's better than that.
Mine's been white lashed.
It's a loud last.
Wow.
Did we do we talk about that whole thing?
No, we didn't.
We did not.
So that's something we can.
But anyway, the end be rolling.
Can't get it here in Dallas.
At least at least that we found.
And well, they're handsome bottles, too.
Yes.
And this one was at the regular bourbon, the Kentucky.
This is a straight bourbon.
I got the wheat whiskey as well.
Wheat whiskey.
Yeah, I do.
I seven kind of fits it.
But I'm just saying, like, compared to Noah's Mill, I mean, I think Noah's Mill is a ten
compared to this.
It's good.
You know, I kind of wish we were a little bit more fruitier.
You know, you're bringing up a good point.
We I wonder if we should do like a tournament like a tasting.
I don't think that's a tasting tournament like a blind tasting.
My point is we would get hammered.
Like if we as we start as we start to whittle.
I'm not saying in the same night, but as we whittle things down to like the best five
and we we we pit them against each other.
And at the end and at the end of this deal, we pick we could try.
I say we do that.
It needs to be like sips.
It can't be like I know that full eight ounce cup.
I don't want to vomit during podcast.
I mean, that's not what I'm suggesting.
You know, everyone has a different style the way they every time they grade it.
I mean, to me, it's it's got to be like a full drink and not just a sample.
You got because there is we get shit face for it.
And you have you have the immediate blast.
Once it starts to air out a little bit, it's got a different taste.
Temperatures get to more room temperature and that's true.
You know, and plus you can apply a little heat to these and it brings out some different
aromas.
Well, also, you can put a couple of drops of water in there and it'll change.
They'll change completely.
Or every single one.
So every single one of these on a cube change, it changes everything.
So if you drink it for like an entire night and you have four or five, whatever.
And I think that's how you grade it.
In my opinion, like right now, just having it right now, like I said, I scored it a seven.
I mean, I could drink this all night, though.
I like it.
It's it probably tastes good with that agave syrup, that simple syrup.
Oh, yeah.
Right there.
Yeah.
Nice experiment with that a little bit.
We're going to make some.
What are we going to make it with?
Rubble?
Well, we'll do some old fashions with the rubble.
Oh, nice.
I meant could you get cubes up here in your cooler?
Right?
Not cube cubes.
Just regular ice cubes.
Kind of like wedges.
Wedge cubes.
Which shape is that?
Like a crescent moon.
Is that a?
It's like one of those.
Crescent moon cubes.
Is that a waning gibbous?
Easter time orange.
You know those marshmallow peanuts that you get in Christmas or Easter?
Those orange peanuts.
That's kind of.
Peanuts.
Orange.
Oh, God.
What?
Yeah, you know, those little peanuts you get in their soft marshmallow kind.
What's that shape like that?
It is a little bit without.
No, those are shaped like peanuts.
Like a cashew?
Yeah.
Those are shaped like a waning gibbous.
Waxing.
Waxing crescent.
Wow, look at that.
Look at that spiral peach shaped one down there.
Wow.
You know what?
On this topic.
All right.
So a buddy of mine came over.
On ice cubes?
Yeah.
Check this out.
So a buddy of mine comes over the other night and he is carrying a box and I'm like, oh,
what's in the box?
He does a lot with like vendors and stuff and so they give him free shit all the time.
And so he brings in this box and he opens up.
He's like, dude, you know, you know, I'm not, he always prefers it with, you know, you know,
I get this stuff from vendors so I'm not like hoity toity like they are.
But check this out.
Right.
So he opens up the box and it's a bunch of cubes.
No, he had doilies.
Do they have dry ice keeping them cold?
A bunch of doilies.
There was no dry ice that I knew of keeping them cold.
Anyway, check this out.
So I don't know how much he said he spent, but they are, they are glacier cubes.
They're like from Greenland or something.
Maybe you can look this up, Mr. Producer, but so they're like supposed to be pristine
Arctic water.
And I'm like, brother, I can take a pristine Arctic cube and my reverse osmosis, you know,
cube, put them in two glasses, put the same bourbon in there and I can promise you I wouldn't
be able to tell the difference.
Now, maybe somebody listening is going to be like, oh, especially in Greenland.
Yeah, brother, you're not as pure as you think with all the Northeastern United States mog
being shifted.
I don't know.
But is it a thing?
I mean, was he totally bullshit me or is it a thing?
It probably is a thing.
If there's something to sell, people will do it.
And he had a whole box of them.
So I just core straight down part of the Greenland's money that they make because they don't make
a whole lot.
There's not this covered freaking ice.
It's like nothing.
They harvest ice.
In fact, they're they're saying that they're cubes.
Well, hold on.
You're telling me that you know that they do.
Yeah, they do.
Absolutely.
They harvest the ice for a bottle of water.
Yeah, they bottle it in.
Oh, I see.
Look, there's like it's crazy because they have I don't know how thick the ice is.
I want to say it's a couple hundred meters and they have like rivers inside the ice that
travel from one end of Greenland to the other.
Right.
And, you know, it's a completely different color.
I think it's amazing.
All right.
Okay.
Well, then there you go.
What I'm telling you is I have a bunch of these cubes.
So you want it over one of these nights.
I still have it.
Yeah.
He's got a whole bunch of cubes that are supposed to be this, you know, Arctic.
Well, this this weekend, Saturday.
There we go.
Don't worry.
We're doing glacier cubes.
And we need to do a my reverse osmosis test.
Are they vaccine free glacier cubes?
They are vaccine free.
Yeah.
They're vaccinated, actually.
Wow.
That's fantastic.
Arctic glacier premium ice.
I don't know.
Did you see those?
Did you see the finger grips they have for the ice cubes up there?
What are you talking about?
What?
Yeah.
Those are those are paper things.
Oh, those are paper finger condoms.
Yes.
Where you like if you're like flipping through a bunch of paper.
Yes.
That's what those are.
Yes.
I don't know if I could get into the rocks, the actual rocks.
I don't think they stay cool long enough.
I've never used them, but I don't know.
Plus, if it falls in your mouth, when you switch it around and spit it back out.
Well, the deal breaker.
Yeah, it kind of is.
And how do you lick the salt lick when you're done because you can still taste the bourbon
on it.
You're like, I gotta get more.
The Ben wall balls there.
Yeah, then there's that.
But what?
Those are the Ben wall balls.
What are those the things you put in your palm and make circle jerks out of them?
What are Ben wall balls?
Oh, I haven't done that.
Ben wall balls.
What did you just call it?
Yes.
Those are the things.
The yin yang little thing with bells on them.
Look up Ben wall balls, Mr. Producer.
I bought a set of those in old Chinatown or whatever it is.
Dude, don't look those up.
I don't want to.
They're actual balls.
And they.
You talk about the things that are like butt beads.
What do you do with them?
Ben wall.
No, they're not butt beads.
What do you do with them?
You know what?
Space W.A. Ben wall balls.
Ben wall.
How do you know these things?
Yeah, exactly.
That was my next question.
What the heck is that?
Well, OK.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Is that where they?
No, the one on Ben wall balls.
These balls are used as an instrument to please your man.
They're also known as orgasm balls.
Small balls of different sizes.
These balls are used as an instrument to please your man.
They're available as small marble sized balls and slightly bigger balls ranging in about
two or more inches in diameter.
Diameter?
What the hell, man?
The Kegel balls are usually made of metal and their weight is natural.
They're vaginal exercise weights.
So can I ask a question?
How do we go from bourbon to Ben wall balls that please your man?
Because Sean wanted to talk about juice.
How does this happen?
Is that on the list?
Way to go.
I don't understand.
Happy birthday to me.
Yeah, no kidding.
They're Kegel exercise tools.
Wow.
Yeah, which is really important to us.
Well, it is because.
Yes.
There's lots of different ways to do this.
If she can control those Kegel muscles.
Oh, all right.
Thank you for sharing.
This is the first time I've ever been made awkward.
To feel awkward.
Hey, you learn something every day.
Just in case your woman ever wants to practice shooting golf balls across the room, this
would be the instrument of choice to exercise.
Although I don't know why they have a picture of the Kegel balls.
I don't know.
I don't know why they have a picture of a dude with a barbell or a dumbbell tied to
his nuts.
OK, that does not apply.
Doesn't make any sense at all.
That looks painful.
All right.
I bet people do.
Thank God it's just a diagram and not a real picture.
Yeah, let's move on.
All right.
Anyway, so the bourbon is good.
All right.
Moving on.
Benoit balls.
What the hell, man.
So what are the other balls called that you put in your palm and kind of rotate them to
supposedly help you?
Yeah, they're like meditation balls or something.
I have no idea.
And they ring.
Yeah.
They ultimately are supposed to develop your core strength because if the balls in your
hand, you start to swirl them, you move your fingers around.
Right there.
That's exactly what they are.
They're meditation balls.
Meditation balls.
How does that help you?
What did you say?
Your core strength?
Well, maybe I misheard what I said.
You plank while you do that?
Because are you doing sit ups while you're doing that?
You're getting your fingers and your wrist and your...
Are you taking a shit while you're doing it?
God, speaking of planking, man, I'll tell you what.
This weekend we had some upgrades in our kitchen.
Yes, you did.
So well, Friday night I come over here.
Anyways, I wake up hungover the next morning and there's a sensitive urgency because my
in-laws, they accidentally left me off the text thread that says, oh, by the way, we're
coming over.
The one who's doing all the work.
They left you off.
Whatever.
No, not necessarily true.
So whatever.
So they're showing up until Tara comes down.
She's frantic and we're like, oh crap.
And so whatever.
So the day starts like that.
And so there's a lot of on your hands and knees and I'll tell you how bad out of shape
I am is when you as a carpenter that I was for 15 or so years, you know, I was even though
I was plumpy, you're in shape.
I was in really good shape and I didn't realize how, you know, not doing that for two, three
years.
He would make fun of me.
Guys, that goes for all these types of dudes.
Guys that climb around the trees and arborists or whatever and cut off all the limbs of guys
that do fence work, guys that do.
I mean, they're an amazing shape.
They may not look like it.
You know what they call that?
They call that country strong.
Country strong.
Yeah, they are.
Yeah.
I remember I was helping Sean move some drywall at one of the jobs and he was scoffing at
me because I wasn't able to pick up a 30 foot piece of drywall with one arm.
No, it was 10 foot.
Now we know what happened to your shoulder.
And that's probably it.
So, you know, I was able to carry it.
You're the one that caused this.
That's what it was.
I was able to carry it, but not to the effect that Sean was.
And he's just like, come on, man.
You're a bitch.
Yeah.
So now he's like, now I get it.
Yeah.
Right.
Now I get it.
Payback right now.
He's out of shape.
That particular day, there was a ridiculous amount.
There was like 30 or 40 pieces of drywall.
I was moving from one side of the job to the other.
And we had the boys with us.
Yeah.
And I was just over there picking up one and nothing.
I didn't really feel.
And they were all struggling.
Yeah, they were.
But, you know, I tell you what, a whole sheet of drywall is heavy.
Yeah.
Can be.
Some of these guys are picking up double sheets at the same time.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
Now that was a norm, though.
Yeah.
But I don't think I've ever been in that kind of shape.
I have.
I used to pick up double 4x8s.
Good for you.
Yeah.
Just, you know, one at a time.
Walk up the, you know, unload it from the truck.
Sometimes you have to take it up to the second floor.
Damn.
That's a workout.
Yeah.
And you can do 15 sheets up there.
Yeah.
I want to do it as minimum trips as possible.
That's why I quit.
I got tired of doing that kind of shit.
I was like, man, I like doing this kind of work, but this part sucks.
But I want someone to bring me the stuff.
Yeah.
Right.
And I'll construct.
I just want to carry the shit.
But I got to tell you, so when you called me and said, hey, man, you got a minute to come
over here and help me.
Right.
I was stressing.
My wife was stressing.
I know.
And then I reached out to, I couldn't reach out to you because you're pussified with your
operation, your shoulder.
He's like, I don't have my shoulder.
Let's see where you are after your surgery, bitch.
Well, I'm the one doing demo, which was actually really fun.
I've never done demo before.
And at first I was kind of cautious because I was like, OK, I don't want to start whacking
away and start tearing out.
There's a method to it.
Yes.
So once you learn the method, it becomes pretty easy.
But to get to that point, man, you just end up banging shit and destroying it.
Yeah.
And I know and your father-in-law, I could tell I knew exactly what you mean because
at first I was kind of like taking this piece off, taking that piece off.
And then I was like, OK, well, if I take this whole thing, the whole thing will come out
in one big piece.
Right.
And he would get all excited.
Oh, yeah, that's perfect.
And then I was like, OK, well, that must be the trade.
Right.
It's like whatever you can get out in four pieces as opposed to two hundred and eighty
eight.
Yeah.
What you don't understand is the bigger the piece you get out, the less cleanup you have.
Of course.
And the less to carry and all that kind of stuff.
If you can pick it up.
But anyway, so it was cool, man.
We were hustling and I'm talking about the man this whole week as far as exercise and
being out of shape just just shied right through, man.
I caught up with you.
Oh, my God.
It was such a whore.
I enjoyed what I did all weekend and it just stinks that I just wish I was healthier.
And I was huffing and puffing.
I was on my knees because we were doing some electrical on the ground.
And you know, you're on your knees.
And if you're working the floor, I'll tell you how to drill it out.
Well, yeah, you can't be on your elbows.
So you have to be core.
Yeah.
All core.
All core, man.
Oh, dude, I was down there for a couple of hours and you saw her.
Oh, my butt cheeks, my butt cheeks hurt.
Dude, how many times?
How can you say that?
My butt cheeks were so sore.
The very next morning.
Well, I go to bed.
I was hungover all day long.
And then I go to bed after everyone leaves.
I didn't mention that part.
Actually, that explains your butt cheeks.
And then the next day we went to Scarborough Fair and I felt bad because my son and I would
like to go.
And I was so.
Beat.
I mean, I'm so out of shape and so beat and exhausted.
I was falling asleep to the whole thing.
We were basically I was looking at a map and I was plotting to go to each pavilion because
we could sit down and people watch because the Scarborough Fair is kind of cool.
People that dress up.
They've got medieval clothes on.
That's what you do.
That's what we did.
People watch and you go, yeah, yeah, look at that.
Yeah, it's cool.
I mean, you know, if I if I could find an outfit that fit me that belonged to me, I'd
wear it.
I wouldn't care.
I mean, that's the whole point.
You're going into a different world.
Yes.
Did you ride an elephant?
No, but I admired the people that did from afar as they were.
You have an elephant?
Yeah, they do.
Yes.
You can ride an elephant.
Are you serious?
Yes.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, that's kind of cool.
I wouldn't do it.
Why?
I don't know.
You got some against elephants.
I would probably fall off and hurt my shoulder.
You're not barebacking it.
It's not that type of.
It's not bucking.
You have a trampoline, you have eight seconds.
You know, they had mermaids out there.
Go, go.
This was the opening.
It's in Waxham, actually.
It's in every single year.
So they have it for like, oh, it's a Renaissance fair is what it is.
It's a Renaissance fair.
They have it for like six to eight weekends.
Yeah.
One time a year.
That was early this year.
Isn't it usually in May?
No, it's about that guy.
That's Poppy right there.
I've I've never been to the to the.
You see that?
That was kind of cool.
I've never been to that one.
I've been to the Plannersville one, which is north of Magnolia, north of Houston.
So it was probably pretty similar, right?
I mean, it's all the same stuff.
They have they have permanent buildings there.
They do.
And they're well kept.
Yeah.
You know, they work around there.
There's people there all year round that have private parties and things.
And obviously they have all the costumes they they mean it is an army of people.
And when they have the parade at the end of the day, you know, King Arthur and the Queen.
There are people, the subjects.
There are people that work there.
You're saying, oh, yeah, that work there.
Oh, yeah.
Kind of like Disney World, right?
Well, they tour.
They tour different festivals every all year.
And so they're here for six weeks.
Yeah.
They're here for six weeks and they go to the Plannersville.
OK, I got the next six weeks.
They may make 50 bucks a day, 80 bucks a day.
And that's their thing.
They live in a trailer and that's what they like.
You know, there you go.
Whatever stuff's expensive.
I mean, I had a significant amount of beer there and each beer was like seven fifty.
So there's the elephant, you know.
No, she had.
What is that top right hand corner that the picture?
I don't know.
People are making out for some reason.
That is kind of odd.
But there are people that show up that that, you know, it's traditional stuff.
I mean, people weren't in an excellent shape back then.
And they have examples of that.
There's people that walk around without shirts on that totally should not be walking around
shirts.
I mean, none of the women have like serious cleavage and boob shelves.
Right.
It's like, yeah, they're like pools of boob shelf.
Yeah, it's a full shelf.
It's where they put exactly what I'm holding it up.
I've never heard it called that.
It's it's flat.
So it's like the boost days holding up.
Yeah.
I mean, every time you watch any of those shows, right?
They all have those boob shelves.
What show is that?
You watch?
I don't know.
It's odd.
Any of them, Outlander, blah, blah, blah, any of the shows set in those that time period,
they all wear these tight.
What do you call them?
Corsets or something?
Yeah, of course.
Is it?
What's a boost?
Yeah.
What are the boost days?
A brawl.
I thought that's the stuff that pushes up the boobies.
That's a corset.
That's a Wonder bra.
Oh, whatever.
That's a that's a balcony.
Wow.
You have a lot of terms for these things.
And you know them very quickly.
I go bra shopping with my wife.
Oh, dear.
Yes.
The balconyator was a balcony of just boob.
Bless you.
That seriously is not a term.
Yes, a balconyator is.
It really is a balconyator.
Correct.
Oh, my God.
That's insane.
Yeah, don't bother looking that up.
The balconyator.
Is it B-A-L-C-O-L?
Like balcony.
B-A-L-C.
No, like balcony.
B-A-L-C-O-L-A-T-O-R.
Nator.
Why are we looking up balconyator?
Well, we got to now.
Oh, that's baconator.
That's balconyator.
Well, it is a baconator.
You're right.
It is called the baconator.
That's great.
I like that's Wendy's.
I like that.
It's called balconyator, though.
He did.
But it came up with baconator, which is better than a balconyator.
Put in balconyator bra.
See if that helps.
God.
Why are we spending time on this?
Well, because you questioned.
I did.
You're like, that's not real.
It's not real.
And it still looks like it's not real.
I don't know if I tell you, spell it or not.
Yeah, probably not.
All right.
So I'm hopping around, going from one pavilion to the whole.
See, there you go.
Yeah.
Where did you think this was going to lead?
Balcony, bro.
Look at that woman in a balconyator.
What's going on here?
So there's a variety of women on the screen.
OK.
Wow.
A dozen.
It's visually overwhelming.
All different flavors.
OK.
Flavor.
Ooh.
OK.
Colors.
Polka dots.
Ruffles.
And moving on.
It just makes a shelf.
I see a skull head there.
Makes a balcony.
And so you were going from village to village, buying all these beers.
I'm still talking about the balcony.
Yeah, apparently.
I can't seem to get you guys off of this.
I'm sorry.
What?
Oh my God, we lost Sean.
So we were.
He was already half nude.
It was fun.
They've got these little marigolds.
Keep your shirt on, Sean.
Keep your shirt on.
There's a little wheel that the ponies can get on a pony ride and go on this little circle
around this infinity thing.
Yeah.
They've got these.
They've joust.
They've jousting.
They've got a large area where the horses run back and forth through this gauntlet and
jump over little fences and run around barrels.
And these guys are talking in the language.
They're kind of like they have a pirate here section.
One of the stages, they have pirate jokes.
And it was kind of cool.
They have the mice that this lady taught was a three blind mice cats.
She taught cats how to do things like sit and crawl across a tight wire.
Six feet.
Roy did that.
You got eaten.
Yeah, they were.
No, that was a different.
They were cats.
Big cats.
These were cats.
It was kind of cool.
Did they have any little people games?
Like they had the guy with the whip.
How outrageous?
No, I said little people games.
What does that mean?
Midget throwing.
What are you saying?
What?
Midget throwing?
God almighty.
I said little people games.
Yes, they did.
They had the midget throwing contest.
They did not.
Come here, my lady.
See how far you can throw the imp.
Wow.
Were you there?
I was there.
Wow.
I hosted it.
You were the emcee?
Get yourself a free turkey leg if you can throw the imp five yards.
I remember going once and it was so freaking hot.
We went from shade to shade.
Oh yeah.
It was just like, and I've been there.
That's what you do.
And there's some open areas that are blistering.
Yeah.
Yeah, but you, I mean, it was nice when you went.
Yeah, it was fairly nice.
It was a great weekend.
It was the 70s, wasn't it?
Maybe 80s?
And we even, what an asshole.
It's not very professional.
Very not.
Well, I digress.
So where are we at?
Renaissance Fairs in Alkinators.
Yeah, Renaissance Fairs.
Hello.
Hello, boy.
So they were, watched people walking around and they were like, hey, my lord and my lady.
And did you dress up like an elf or anything?
I did.
Like an elf.
Austin did.
He looked fantastic.
A druid?
You know, there was one of the guys that we went with.
Were you an assassin?
Like Littlefinger.
You drop as an, were you an assassin?
Yeah.
He's dressed in black.
I saw the picture.
You looked badass.
He did.
He had long blonde hair, blue eyes and all the people were doing second checks.
Did you dress up as the village idiot?
I should have dressed up like Shrek.
Like a jester?
Like a pub drunk, a tavern drunk.
Hey, you son of a bitch.
I don't have it on me.
Well, you had like 12.
Yeah, but I was going to say by the fourth pavilion, you were the village drunk.
Did they have big Steins you could buy?
They did.
Biggest Steins.
I looked for some bourbon glasses and they had some cool ones that were made out of wood.
But they were just, I would have bought them, you know, they were like 15 bucks a piece.
I would have bought one.
What the hell do you do with one?
You know, I need four and I'm not dropping 60 bucks.
Also, check this out.
So I work with this guy who is a woodworker guy, right?
He totally into woodworking.
Like whittling?
No, he makes, like he makes all this.
Like pan flutes?
Same thing.
Right now he's making backgammon boards.
And then before that he made like a piano, no, no, a desk study.
A harpsichord?
So this guy, this guy can do anything.
And I've been trying to think of things that I can ask him to do as a project for me.
Make some cups.
Bourbon.
Bourbon cups.
Low balls, high balls or like a horn.
But we're going to have to give him pictures of what we're talking about here.
I think he should make horns because I almost bought those for us.
You can buy horns, like Viking horns.
Show us a horn.
Look up Viking horn.
So I'm being dead serious.
I'm going to ask him and you know, I don't know how much he'll charge, but I don't care.
He's handmade.
He's spending his time doing it.
See that?
Those right there.
Okay, well.
I think those are freaking cool.
Okay, and they're totally made out of wood.
They're not like.
No, they're made out of horns.
Well, I can't ask him to make something out of horns.
Well, no, there are wood, there are wood ones as well.
So if you like that one there.
See?
He's a wood wicker.
That's the style there.
That one right there.
He's a wood wicker.
See?
Something like that.
I think that's cool as shit.
What are you saying?
He wants to make you something out of wood.
No, no, I want to ask him to make me something.
Like what?
Anything.
Like a nose bearing?
Literally anything out of wood.
He would do.
He wants to take on new projects and he enjoys it and it's his hobby and he's really talented.
He can make like all sorts of stuff.
He needs to make some.
Make a totem pole.
Dudes like us, medallions.
Medallions.
Or just a big dudes like us.
You can hang it on the wall.
Okay.
No, I'm being serious.
Let's give us some thought.
Well, me too.
Let's give us some thought and let's, you know.
I'm done thinking.
Okay.
You want like a big sign that says dudes like us.
No, I didn't say that.
I said medallion.
Medallion.
I don't know what that means.
Like little ones you can wear.
Like flavor, flavor.
No, like our art logo.
Like coasters.
In a shape like that.
I mean.
Or like big to hang on the wall.
How about a big sign that says dudes like us on the wall.
In wood.
In hand carved wood.
Well, I mean I'm not against it.
Actually, I don't think he does carving.
Does he have a CNC machine?
He's got, I don't know.
I don't know.
Good grief, man.
But we looked into that, didn't we?
It was expensive.
Anyways, what's this guy's background?
He is one of our IT guys.
He's in a real thing.
Okay, so it truly is a hobby.
Oh, totally a hobby.
And he's good at it.
Yeah.
So, anyway.
I'm just throwing that out there.
He does the figurines and for the backgammon chess, etc.
You know, he makes that type of stuff.
That's just a backgammon board.
That's just a brand new project he took on.
Somebody said, I need backgammon boards.
And he was like, okay.
Let me check it out.
And that's what he's doing.
It's pretty cool.
Give us some thought.
Selfishly, I'm thinking something that evolves around dudes like us.
Oh yeah, no.
I was thinking, I was thinking, that's why I brought it up.
The mugs.
I was thinking about big wood mugs.
I thought that would be cool.
That I don't know.
If he has a CNC, he could carve into it.
I don't think he has a CNC.
I can ask him.
Well, he may.
He may.
We want one.
Yeah.
Why are you being so arrogant?
He could have one.
I'm thinking maybe we need to include him in one of our tiers.
If he's got a CNC machine.
Well, he lives far away in Wiley.
Challenge accepted.
That's not that far.
Well, we went there to get some red barrels.
We did.
That was fun.
All right, we're moving on.
Hey, how are you?
Hey, so this is the Scarborough Fair.
There was some interesting characters there.
Did you have anybody that was cosplaying it all the way up that was not in character?
That didn't fit the theme?
No, people, you can wear anything you want, really.
You can come as a pirate.
So you saw Darth Vader walking around?
Yeah, not really, but yeah.
Can you guys understand, can you help me understand where the word cosplay came from?
Where did that start?
I have no idea.
To me, it's like I woke up one morning and I was inundated with cosplay everywhere I turned.
And I don't know where.
Costume, it's costume play, right?
Exactly.
But where did it come from?
Like Halloween?
To me, it seemed to blast on the scene or has it been out there a long, long, long,
long time?
Well, there's huge conventions.
Convention, yeah.
It has to do around comic books and movies.
I get it.
Like action movies and shit like that.
I know what it is.
And just wondering when it became mainstream, like everybody talks about it all the time.
It's been around for quite a while.
Okay, well then maybe I just missed it.
At least six months.
Right.
Okay, well cool.
Anyway, so what you were saying, but it's not common for people to wear non-medieval
stuff at the fairs.
Well, there's like fairies.
That's not...
And that's relevant.
But that's not Renaissance.
That's kind of like a fantasy kind of stuff.
But sometimes that fantasy is always kind of set in the medieval times.
Yeah, exactly.
I would be okay with that.
Darth Vader, not really.
Maybe Chewbacca.
Chewbacca I'm good with.
Dude, they had this...
The alien.
They had...
So cosplay is futuristic costumes, by the way.
From what the Mr. Producer put up on there.
Japan.
Well, that's just one of them.
There's like a million different types of...
Well, the practice of fan costuming at a science fiction convention is beginning with more
Jo's futuristic costumes created the first...
That's a Morojo.
Oh, that's how it started, you're saying.
Morojo.
I guess that's how it's pronounced.
Back in 1939?
Okay, well forget it.
1984.
No, no, no, no, no.
I would say it's the first world science convention in the city in 1939.
So people were cosplaying back then?
Yeah.
That's interesting.
But the term itself was coined in 84.
Okay, I got you.
Anyway, I was just curious because I was like, man, what is this?
Where is it coming from?
Look, so back to this whole Renaissance thing.
I mean, the whole atmosphere of the place, they got classic buildings there.
There's big castles, not big castles, but there's castle-like structures set up.
There's some chairs that you can sit down there, like the king and queen, but you could
sit there and take pictures of it.
It's cool.
I mean, it really is cool.
I mean, unfortunately, I was unhealthy.
That's what I would look like if I went, you know, in the medieval times.
So yeah, like I said, I've only been there one time, and it was so freaking hot, I couldn't
enjoy it.
Yeah, that sucks.
And I had a six-year-old and a four-year-old going crazy.
Yeah.
Oh, so they were miserable and complaining and all that.
Yeah.
They were thirsty.
Right.
Dad, I want more beer.
I want to ride the elephant.
Right.
So it was that.
It was hot.
I just remember it being very hot.
Well, it can be miserable out there.
Yeah, it was when we went off.
Well, it produces scrolling through pictures.
Showing us some cosplay pictures.
There's some people that were wearing these flush-colored outfits that were...
If you just glance up at it, you're kind of like, oh my gosh.
Did you see the picture of the flush-colored yoga pants?
Yeah, that was disturbing.
It looked like she was nude.
It was just wrong.
She had cheese.
Are you talking about the Walmart picture?
Yes.
Okay, I saw no pants at all.
She was wearing pants.
I literally saw no pants at all.
I didn't want to look 10, 11 times.
You have to look at her ankles.
Yeah, I was really trying not to look that close, but I saw no pants at all.
Jeff was checking all of that out.
He got down to the ankles.
He was like, oh.
See?
I didn't want to look at the rest of it, I was like...
You started the ankles.
It's terrible.
Yeah, I wasn't sure she was wearing anything.
I tell you, the food, they had a big sausage on a stick, the turkey legs.
That's my favorite.
Turkey legs are overrated in my opinion.
Turkey legs are overrated, but sausage on a stick is not.
No, it's fantastic.
I'm a big fan.
They have something unique there that I don't have anywhere else, is they've got these pretzel-filled
hot dogs.
It's like these...
Pretzel-filled hot dogs?
No, I didn't say that right.
It's a hot dog with pretzel as a bun, but it's wrapped around the whole thing.
It's like a corn dog.
Yeah, but it's like a bratwurst.
It's a pig in the blanket.
Yeah, it's a pretzel dog.
But it's a giant hot dog.
It's a big one, man.
So that's cool.
And they got some jalapeno ones.
Big dog.
That sounds fantastic.
Man, it was extremely tasty.
So where's the other place?
So State Fair has good sausage on a stick.
It's been a long time since I've been to the Fair.
Probably the same stuff.
They had funnel cakes there.
Yeah, of course.
So there's a lot of stuff to eat there.
They don't have games that they have at the Fair.
It's not set up like...
Face painting.
They do.
You could put on face paint.
They got the little ears that turn into...
I think that's why.
I think my kids were too young to enjoy it.
And there wasn't enough young kid stuff down there.
Right.
They have a dunking booth where some...
It's like medieval times where some guy's making...
Talking in the language.
Right.
And you just keep...
Baiting everybody.
And you got to...
Give him the crabs.
He's also got his face stuck through there.
You could throw like tomatoes at him and rotten stuff.
Oh, nice.
Lettuce.
Did they have a guillotine out there?
Potatoes.
I need to see that.
Onions.
No guillotines.
They had some...
What is that?
Shackles where they put you in.
When you do something bad, they put you in these...
Yolk.
Where you put... it's a little cut out for your head and your ear.
And the big wood thing.
Yeah, what do they call that?
I thought it was a yoke.
A yoke.
I don't think it's called a yoke.
Why would it be a yoke?
It's an egg.
They call it...
I thought it was the chop.
Chop block?
No.
God bless it.
I don't know.
Medieval wooden...
No, that's not it.
The Iron Maiden.
That's not Iron Maiden.
I think Iron Maiden has like those spikes in it.
It is.
That's the...
It's the...
It's like a big...
Put them in the...
Because someone would do something bad.
It'd be the prisoner.
Put them into...
Well, hell, it is called a yoke.
No, that's a horse yoke.
Oh, okay.
It's a prisoner, medieval prisoner...
Put them in shackles or...
Actually, that thing right down there.
Right there.
Yeah, what is that?
Right there.
What is that called?
Pillory stock.
That's what it's called.
Pillory stock.
Oh, I don't recall it being called that.
It's called a stock.
Yeah.
You can...
You can take a picture of it.
Yeah, so they've got one big one like that.
Yeah, pillory stock.
So we could say...
I thought they were called something like that.
Put them in stocks.
Maybe they were saying that.
Yeah, the stocks, you can put it...
You know, foot ones, head ones.
Thumb ones.
Yeah.
I think they had like thumb handcuffs, thumb cuffs.
I'll tell you what.
You know, when you watch these medieval movies and you see the battle scenes, and you're
like, what would be worse, to be in a battle back then or a battle now as far as just getting
killed?
Now you're going to get shot, you could get shot in the arm.
Back then, you're going to get your arm chopped off, cut in half, you can get blown up in
half.
So which one would you rather partake in?
You can look at it from either the perspective where it's all about the quality of life.
Because if you get something like that happens nowadays, you get your face blown off and
they'll save you.
So some people never get through that.
So it's kind of like, do you want to be saved?
Well, I'm not talking about that.
I'm just talking about what kind of battle would you rather be in, a medieval sword battle
or a battle now with guns?
One out there where you've just got a thousand people running at each other with big ass
three foot broadswords swinging at each other, axes and mace, or would you rather get shot?
Sorry I'm late to this.
I had to take an emergency phone call apparently.
All right, so you're saying would you rather be in a medieval battle where they're swinging
a bunch of swords or be in a modern...
Well, modern can be different, right?
So World War I, World War II versus today.
Totally different.
A million times different.
So let's say World War II, because we've all seen footage of World War II.
So it's not as brutal as World War I, but still they fought brutal, sometimes trench
warfare.
Or Braveheart, you're just running at each other like buffoons and just slashing each
other.
God, how bizarre.
I would rather be World War II.
I'd rather be World War II.
Because to me, it seems like if you're out on the battlefield just swinging around, I
mean somebody just walks up to you and stabs you in the back, you have...
You know what I mean?
You've got no chance, you know?
But then again, World War II, you're just kind of sitting there doing your thing and
then a lucky shot or a stray bullet.
Sniper.
Yeah, that's tough.
I think they both suck.
Yeah, they both suck.
I don't know why I think I was like, God, that would suck to have to fight like that
with just swords and axes and big maces and everything.
It just seems so much worse.
Well, and the thing that's interesting is when you're injured in that time period, it
was basically the same as being shot and bleeding out because there's no medical.
They didn't have antibiotics or stuff like that.
Exactly.
You're just gangrene and die painfully if you get your arm lopped off.
Right.
You know, so I don't know, kind of crazy.
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaking of, I just...
Oh, there's Mr. Austin.
Yeah, look at him.
Look at that.
Sitting on the throne as an assassin.
That's his steak knife.
Wait a second, that's my steak knife.
I just watched Saving Private Ryan again.
Oh, wow.
Really?
Yeah.
Well, good for you.
And I watched it over the weekend and...
Was it just as powerful as...
Oh, of course.
It's incredible.
Because I saw it when it came out and it's been a while since I watched it, so it was
a lot that I forgot.
Oh, yeah.
And tear up at the end, the whole nine yards, man.
It's a powerful movie.
It's really powerful.
And you think these guys sacrificed a lot.
And the reason I watched it is because it popped up on the Netflix and it says, last
day to watch it on Netflix is April 30th.
So it's getting yanked from Netflix.
Oh, okay.
That's why I watched it.
Oh, you know what?
I'm glad you mentioned it because I would like to go watch it.
Yeah, it's good.
And I'll tell you what, when I watched it in the movie theater, so I watched it with
my wife and I was pensive, right?
Pensive to dead silent, just absorbing it all after it ended.
And we got in the car and I was trying to explain to her my emotions and I lost it.
Oh, my God.
It was awful.
I was like, you know, I was like, and it was totally all 100 percent about what those men
went through.
You know what I mean?
18 year olds, 19 year olds, right?
I mean, it was my, you know, now, back then, it wasn't my son's age.
But I mean, now it would be our sons going through that.
Well, it got me is, you know, they were always guessing what the captain was, Tom Hanks,
his character.
They're like, yeah, where's he from?
What's he does?
And he was in any because they were falling apart.
And he's like, I'm a school teacher.
And I teach I'm a coach, baseball or whatever it was, or soccer.
And they're all just looking at him.
Yeah, because they have a totally different opinion of him, you know, as as a soldier.
Right.
Because he's just, you know, not ruthless, but he's like, got it together.
And you know, they're just machines.
And then they realize, oh, shit, this is just a hometown.
He's a teacher.
He's a hometown teacher.
And look at what war has turned him into.
And one of the things he said shortly after that, he said every person that I kill, I
get farther away from home.
Right.
You know, I think it's powerful.
Oh, that's a great movie.
It's probably one of the best I've ever seen.
Can you think of another movie that elicits that type of, you know, what people you know,
what soldiers went through, the sacrifice they made makes you tear up?
Any other movie like that?
I'm sure there's some other ones.
I know I watched Platoon, the Vietnam movie.
Yeah.
I'd love to watch that again, because that's been we were a lot younger.
It's been a long time since I've seen that.
So yeah, we were probably too young to really appreciate the sacrifice.
Right.
Yeah.
I'll have to watch that again to see if it I'm sure it is.
But it's been so long since I've seen that.
But I used to watch all the well, again, you know, it's it's the original Midway tour tour
tour.
Well, and the new Midway.
I mean, you saw me.
I jumped up and yelled in the theater.
Nothing to do with what you made me drink.
It's water.
Was it really just fire?
Fire water is ranch water.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
So, yeah, I mean, the the military movies there's there's there's different kinds, right?
So you have the more authentic kind like Saving Private Ryan, then you have Midway, which
I think is action movies.
Right.
Yeah.
And it's still fun and whatever.
But, you know, there's there's some hard ones to watch out there.
Which the one where it was just out where the guy who was against the violence, but
he joined the army, didn't carry a gun.
And, oh, I saw that one.
And he's a hero.
And he climbed this cliff cliff over and over and over again to save people.
I saw that one.
That was a moving one.
That was a good one.
I can't remember what was called.
I don't either.
Hamburger Hill.
That was a good one.
Yeah.
So, yeah, there's some really good ones out there that stick with you.
Saving Private Ryan, probably the most.
Yeah.
Oh, definitely.
Hands down for me, it's Saving Private Ryan.
Yeah.
Without a doubt.
I'm actually in the middle of watching A Bridge Too Far right now.
I've never seen that.
I heard it's amazing.
Yeah.
And it's on Netflix as well.
Yeah.
So you got there.
Yeah, I remember watching The Dirty Dozen.
That was more of a.
Hacksaw Ridge.
That's what it was called.
Oh, Hacksaw Ridge.
Yep.
Yeah, how bizarre.
Based on a true story, right?
Yeah.
He refused to carry a gun.
Yeah.
Yep.
And then you have Starship Troopers, which was, you know, authentic.
Very authentic.
Yeah.
Oh, another one.
Full metal jacket.
Good one.
That's the Jelly Donut, right?
That's where the hardcore.
Drill Sergeant.
Yeah.
And I watched that with my dad and he said, because he was in the military.
Yeah.
And he was a soldier.
Yeah.
And he was a soldier.
Yeah.
And he was a soldier.
And he was in the military.
He's like, that guy is just like what the drill sergeants are.
Really?
Because he nailed it.
Wow.
And I think he used to be one.
Yes, he did.
In real life.
Yeah, yes, he did.
And my dad's like, yeah, that's.
Dead on.
That's right.
What that kind of person is.
You know, and what's interesting, you know, you can kind of you can judge those guys.
But the reality is, he was trying to prepare them for.
I mean, how do you prepare a young man, a naive young man who has no idea what he's
walking into?
How do you prepare him for that?
Like that.
I think you're absolutely right.
Yeah.
You break you break him down and you you make him numb.
Right.
And in the movie didn't the psycho there was a there was a cadet that or a boot camp guy
that lost it and shot the drill sergeant.
Right.
Shot him and then he killed himself.
Yeah.
That was yeah.
You kind of lost it.
I haven't seen Fury.
I saw that.
That's the tank one.
Is it good?
Brad Pitt, right?
Brad Pitt.
Yeah, it's good.
I don't remember too much about it, but I mean, it wasn't all that great.
Yeah.
Well, you know, like I said, some movies stick with you, so I'm done.
Yeah, that's right.
That one did.
I like I watched Unbroken.
I was that was a tough one to watch.
I think that's the guy who got.
Japanese detainee or he got shot down and he was he was floating for a long time.
Yeah.
And then he got captured by the Japanese was in their concentration camp.
Yes.
The prisoner of war camp.
Yeah, I did see that one.
And that was a real story.
Yeah, it was.
True story.
So that's tough.
Yep.
No, that's a good one.
And the other one that made me so mad.
Black Hawk Down.
Yeah, that's a good one.
That's one I was yelling at the TV.
I was so pissed off.
And that's when when Clinton totally left him out to dry.
Yeah, I don't know how how involved was Bill Clinton in that where he wouldn't give the
order.
I mean, did he truly like not allow them to give the order to save those guys?
I don't know the history behind that.
Although it's been a long time.
But it definitely was there was bureaucracy that basically said, you know, no, we can't,
you know, we're leaving them behind.
Well, that's just like the the 13 hours movie where the guys and the hell are in Benghazi,
Benghazi, Cali, which was a good movie.
I never saw it.
So it's good.
That one I need to see.
That's good.
I'd recommend it.
And yeah, it's the same thing.
And they touch.
They don't.
You know, they don't call out.
They don't cover the politics of it.
Well, they cover that.
They don't get any help.
But they don't go through the rest of it.
They don't go through a lot of the back story on what happened.
They it's from the story of the soldiers.
Right.
And the heroes, the people that were not there at the annex that went and helped them.
It's about that.
Not necessarily what was going back in the states.
Yeah.
Well, it's probably better because you see some of it because they're on the phone talking
and shit like that.
But you don't see really from what I remember, you don't see any of the political bullshit
that was happening.
That was allowed to happen is unbelievable.
Right.
It is covered, but not that's not the focus of the movie.
Right.
Which is I get that.
I can respect that.
So I watched something on the plane the other day when I was flying somewhere.
I was flying, but it was what?
The Tootsie?
No, no, not to see.
It was a it was one where the very first people that went into Afghanistan after after the
towers were attacked.
Was the 12 strong or something like that?
Yes, exactly what it is.
Were they riding pretty good?
They're riding horses, right?
And I was also based on a real life story where they they went in there and they and
they were trying to flush out some of the warlords that were harboring the Taliban,
right?
Or the Taliban were harboring ISIS.
Correct.
No, Al Qaeda.
Yeah, that was a really good one.
Is it Thor in that?
I don't know what the hell the guy's name is.
Yeah, it is Thor.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah, that was another good one.
So do we want to do we want to hop over some of the deeper topics or do we want to?
So what is going on in in with with the Georgia thing?
Georgia, Georgia, Georgia.
I mean, they're they're third.
They're like moving majorly base.
Lots of drama.
There was like they stopped.
I don't really understand what's going on with it.
I think it's made up drama.
It is.
But you want me to take a stab at kind of explaining what Georgia has done here?
Yeah.
All right.
So that's something to do with voting.
Well, yeah.
So after the mess in Georgia, after the presidential election, the legislature there decided to
kind of clamp down on some of the craziness that went on, right?
In terms of, you know, ballot harvesting and, you know, no, just all the craziness that
happened.
Craziness.
And the mail in ballots that weren't verified or didn't have any, you know, anyway.
So in a nutshell, they were trying to figure out how to make voting easier and cheating
harder.
OK, that was the whole premise of this legislation.
And so excuse me.
And so they said, OK, they kind of tightened down on needing ID voter ID.
And also there were these crazy things going on where people were catering to the people
in line, right?
Like food, like food and bringing them drinks and stuff.
And so they said, OK, you can't you can't bring you can't do all that.
You can't cater to people in line.
Well, it's called electioneering.
What the hell?
Yes.
You can't do that.
You can't do that in any state.
You cannot do that here.
I didn't get any tacos.
No, you can't.
And that's the whole point.
You can't be bribing people.
So did they do that in Georgia?
Yeah, apparently, yes.
And so they were clamping down on all that stuff, right?
And so that Earl's barbecue down there.
So it turned into what you can't even bring them water.
How dare you?
You cannot bring them water.
So not only are you forcing them to have an ID and apparently most of the people in Georgia
don't have an ID.
I don't get that one.
They're calling them stupid is what they're called.
Seriously what they're calling them.
Yeah, but I mean, you need some news where they said that was insulting to the black
community.
Incredibly insulting.
Every black person that I know quote unquote from this, I don't remember who it was.
Has an ID.
Yeah, has an ID.
You know why?
Because they drive and because they go to the grocery store.
They buy liquor.
They fly.
They buy alcohol.
They, I mean, what the hell?
What happened?
Did you blow chunks on your...
No, I was laughing because all the reasons they need ID.
Jeff's like because they need to buy liquor.
What kind of statement was that?
But that's why we all do.
We all need that.
That's what I'm saying.
I guess that's true.
There are a million reasons why you need an ID.
You want to cash a check?
Yeah, you want to cash a check?
Okay, what do they ask for an ID that is ridiculous?
Like why would they ask for an ID?
I mean, like nowadays, like sometimes they say, hey, I need to see your ID.
Sometimes you go somewhere and they're like, I need to check your ID.
Hell, I just went somewhere.
Scarborough Fair.
Every time I try to pick up my car to like the Hertz Rent-A-Center.
Yeah.
I want to make sure that you're who it is.
That's what they say.
They said, no, no, no.
If I'm going to give you my car, you need to show us my ID.
Guys, to stay at a hotel, to rent a car, to get on an airplane.
I mean, there's a million reasons why you need an ID.
If I joined the military, do you have to show ID?
Absolutely.
Of course you do.
I mean, and it's absolutely insulting to suggest that you're suppressing the black vote by requiring them to have some sort of ID.
If you enroll your kid in school, do you have an ID?
Well, the kid doesn't.
You might have to.
You have to prove that you live where you live.
Well, I know he's got a good point.
Every single time I went to go eat lunch with my kids.
Oh, true.
I needed my freaking ID.
Correct.
Yeah, but not to enroll them, I don't think.
No, but to go visit, eat lunch with them.
Even your kids have to have something.
They have to have like a booster shot of medical records.
We could go on for hours.
Anytime they need to know who you are to verify who you are, period.
And guess what?
I can't think of a more important one than when you're voting.
I mean, it's so ridiculous and it's so insulting to the black community.
And I don't understand why the Libs are so...
Well, I know why they are against it because it's going to hinder them
and their cheating.
And cheating.
This boils down to cheating because you can really...
You can manufacture a shitload of votes when you don't have to verify
where they come from and who they come from.
And now in Georgia, you have to.
And now you do.
And so there was a massive campaign by the mainstream media, by celebrities,
a massive campaign to just give misinformation.
Out-teach those Georgian folks.
We're going to move our stuff.
We're going to take our business out of here.
But before that, they made it about misinformation,
like how outrageous the legislature is of Georgia to do this
to the black people of Georgia.
And outrageous.
So now these woke CIOs, Delta, Coke, could be another one.
Major League Baseball.
Major League Baseball decided to move their All-Star game.
That was crazy.
I think that was a half-assed decision.
He's probably regretting it right now.
And you know who encouraged...
The final conversation that the commissioner had was with Stacey Abrams.
You know who that is?
Yes.
OK.
She is a, in my opinion, a corrupt politician in Georgia.
Oh, yeah. Big time.
Yeah.
So she backpedaled and tried to make it sound like, you know,
no, no, no, we don't want you to pull out because this is going to be bad for Georgia.
So Atlanta's fixing to lose $100 million.
$100 million.
And that goes to the folks that they are saying are getting disenfranchised.
It goes to the city to use how they want to.
Well, that, not just that, but all the small businesses.
Right.
Small businesses.
I mean, unbelievable.
I mean, this is going to come back to blow up in their face.
I mean, I know what they're trying to do.
They're trying to hurt the Republican Party.
And they're trying to hurt the, you know, they're trying to taint, taint voting legislation nationwide.
Taint.
Is what they're trying to do.
Oh.
Oh, we got terror.
Oh, do you have a phone call that you have to take?
What is going on today?
Is podcast important to any of us?
I don't know.
Sean, I can't believe your phone went off.
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
It's so obnoxious.
No, but seriously, guys, they are getting ready to pass federal voting legislation.
And what they're trying to do is mind, you know, brainwash, you know, brainwash everybody into thinking that anything having to do with voter ID, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, is bad.
And, you know, that's why they have to steamroll this federal legislation through.
Well, I think Abbott has already said Texas is not going to abide by that.
That's right.
I think several states have.
Yes, several states have said, well, we're going to you don't control the states right voting rights.
The states do totally unconstitutional for the federal government to to tell states how they vote, how they how they run elections, completely unconstitutional.
So this and guess what?
The Supreme Court's probably going to cave.
It's like they did on John Roberts will.
Oh, he will.
For sure.
Anyway, it's disgusting.
I don't know.
You think you think the I don't think the courts will cave on this one.
They they cave during the election.
That was different.
Was it?
Yeah.
I think that was a I don't want to do this because it's going to cause even bigger problems.
Yeah, this one, I think.
And they're allowed to do that.
How well I know I don't agree with this.
Never the litmus test for whether something is lawful or not.
Well, I agree.
I agree.
But this one, I think there's a lot of people that are ignorant to what this Georgia thing is all about.
You have good bourbon.
Yeah, it is.
On ice, even rebel, even better rebel with some of the agave syrup, agave syrup with some orange bitters.
I didn't know that.
OK, my bad.
OK.
Cocktail essentials.
One hundred percent blue agave.
Easy to mix.
Simply squeeze cocktail essentials into your drink.
Oh, wow.
Master mixes.
That is tasty.
And you got a you've got a collection of the bitter truth cocktail bitters traveler set.
I use the orange.
I use the orange better.
OK, but they have celery bitters.
Orange.
So walk me through that.
So you put.
All right.
So it was bourbon on ice mixed with agave, agave syrup, agave syrup and bitters.
Now, I've always been confused about what bitters are.
So it's just a little vial of something tart.
It's got booze in it.
It's got alcohol in it.
OK, but it's tart.
Yes.
That's why they call it bitters.
They're yes.
They're very strong flavors.
It's potent.
So you don't need a couple drops.
Three drops in five drops.
Three drops is too much.
Five drops will ruin your drink.
Really?
So I have never.
I have never.
And it comes in a like an old school box.
It's metal, kind of like those old pin cars in the 50s.
You get it.
It's double insulated.
It's got a variety of flavors.
Celery, orange.
You know what it looks like?
It looks like essential oils.
It totally does.
It's got Creole bitters, orange bitters, the standard bitters.
They was at the Angostura or whatever that is.
They got there's orange celery Creole regular and Creole meaning like a spicy.
Like a spice in your drink.
Yeah.
OK.
The old time acoustic bitters and Jerry Thomas's own decanter bitters.
And you're supposed to put three drops.
Or however much you want.
But yeah, you can overdo it.
Well, in my opinion, I it's yeah, you can over.
You could put out as much as you want, but but it's meant to be ruined.
Less is more.
It's an enhancer.
Yes.
OK.
If you put too much in, it overtakes the drink.
It does make it.
I mean, it's a perfect sipping one.
You put an ice cube on there.
You might be able to, you know, if you're not a you know, if you got a little bottle of water next to it, you could easily drink an hour.
Right.
Yeah.
I mean, you you probably mean making an old fashioned making right.
Yeah.
With the sweetener and the and the bitter.
Yeah.
Because you mean, depending on what you're drinking, like we put rebel in there, which is that's good.
That's a good bourbon.
It's a solid bourbon.
Yeah.
And it's cheap.
Yeah.
It's a cheap bourbon.
It's expensive because it's not cheap.
It's a good bourbon.
You're right.
It's not low quality.
No, it's definitely good.
And it's it's one of these bourbons that's perfect.
You don't feel guilty mixing it with some of this other stuff.
Right.
No, because all this does is enhance it.
So I'll tell you what I've been struggling with.
I've been trying to I saw I'm a bourbon dysfunction.
Yeah.
Well, that too.
But that's a different podcast.
No, I've been wanting to do.
I mean, I always do bourbon.
Right.
I'm not sure.
You know, I mean, a bourbon and coke, right?
Bourbon and sprite, bourbon and coke.
Right.
And I have been addicted to the coke part of it.
I can't I can't get rid of coke.
I can't seem to exactly I'm trying.
So here's what I've been doing.
Like last yesterday, I went and bought seltzer water that was cola flavored.
Right.
But I know it's seltzer water that's cola flavored.
It's the same thing as diet coke.
I don't get it.
Kroger.
All right.
So it's carbonated water with a little bit of cola flavoring in it in the can.
Well, and they have a whole bunch of flavors.
Seltzer water is carbonated water with some sort of flavoring.
OK, interesting.
Yeah.
OK, so I'm thinking, OK, perfect.
So I'll take that and I'll add I made my own simple syrup.
Yeah, I made that.
I did brown sugar and water.
Right.
And I did on the saucepan or whatever.
Because you like bubbles.
I like the carbonation.
Absolutely.
So at first I tried club soda and my sweet syrup stuff and bourbon.
Yeah, if you put enough sweet stuff in there, it works.
But then I'm thinking, OK, I'm probably doing as much or more than I would a coke.
Right.
So then I tried the seltzer water with the coke flavoring with the with nothing seems to work.
Nothing seems to replace.
I know it sounds stupid, but I gave you the soda stream.
Have you tried that?
I have not tried that.
I need to try that.
But I'm telling you, what I'm saying is I like this.
I like this old fashioned.
This is the perfect alternative.
Now, I don't know how much sugar we have in it, though.
Not much.
Because remember, a coke is 38 grams of sugar.
No, I just want.
Yeah, but it's corn syrup.
This is not corn syrup.
That's not corn syrup.
Not corn syrup.
Yeah.
So you know the difference?
Corn syrup is a workaround.
So if you eat like if you have tablespoons of sugar in front of you, eventually your body will tell you,
We're done eating that sugar.
Oh, well, corn syrup.
It does not.
Well, not sorry to interrupt.
All right.
So one fluid ounce of this stuff went fluid ounce.
That's a shot.
That's a lot.
You could fill up a shot glass with this stuff and it's 90 calories and you would never, never do that much.
I didn't put much of that in there at all.
OK.
All right.
So that's definitely the way to go.
Now, when I did my own simple syrup, I mean, it's it's one to one.
Right.
And it's and it's and it's how I make it.
And it's potent, though.
I mean, it's got a lot of sugar.
Yeah.
Well, probably more than this.
Again, it's it's how much do you need?
So you have to play with it.
So I need how much do I really need in there for me to drink it?
Right.
I guess.
Anyway.
OK, sorry.
I got a soft track.
What were we talking about?
Major League Baseball moving to Colorado, which has stricter voting laws.
Yeah.
And the ratio to black people's way.
Yes.
And it's a wider state.
It's like it was almost racist for them to do that.
So hypocritical.
That's and they don't think they did not think this through.
No, it's not even that.
I think it is part of it.
I don't even think it's that it's just ignorance.
It's everything's based on a lie.
That's what it is.
Oh, it is.
It doesn't really matter that it wasn't really it wasn't really the Georgia law.
It wasn't really this.
It wasn't really that.
Because if they really cared, they would have picked somewhere that is more right.
You know what I mean?
It just tells you that the whole thing is based on a lie.
And I heard another thing that Major League Baseball is based in New York City, I believe.
And New York's laws are stricter than Georgia's.
Right.
I'm telling you, this was all a calculated move to to try to brainwash the country into into getting behind the federal.
I don't think it's going to work.
I don't think so either.
I don't think it's going to work.
I don't think so either.
But it just tells me I thought Trump was going to win, too, though.
So my opinion is shit.
Well, well, true.
But, you know, we'll never know.
Yeah, well, that's what they're saying.
They're they everything.
There's things that are coming out every single day that I've heard little clips.
Yeah, I've heard some things where is it Nevada or Arizona?
Both starting to do a deep dive.
And there's some panicking people.
So all the things a lot of people have been terminated and all the all the things that that that they wanted people to go investigate, like in irregularities, right?
Irregularities in the election in different states, elections are finally getting to it.
They're they're they're diving in.
So Durham report.
Where the hell is that?
We're never going to see it.
Did he quit?
Yeah.
Seriously, what the hell?
Didn't he quit?
We waited for three years.
Yeah, for it to come out and it was supposed to come out before the election.
And then they said after the election and then now they don't even talk about it.
Nobody cares.
Where is the Durham report?
I mean, somebody is supposed to go to jail over what they found out in that deal.
D.U.R.H.A.M.
All right.
Now remind me, what was the basis of the Durham report?
It was the whole Russia, Russia, Russia.
That's the FISA.
It was the FISA court issues where the Russian collusion.
Yeah.
The thing was just bullshit.
Just a hit job on Trump.
It was bullshit.
All of it.
Yeah.
So I don't think we're going to see any of that in the fact that when it expired,
they kept renewing it under false pretenses.
Right.
And the judge, the judge signed off on it.
And who was the judge?
Bruce Gore.
Oh, course.
No, no.
And the judge's wife.
Was his pet name.
Bruce Gore.
Judge's wife was.
To me, Bruce.
Transgender.
She was an executive at Fusion.
Tipper?
Whoever that is.
I don't know.
Tipper Gore.
No, it's whoever.
What was the judge's name that was signed off on the FISA?
But what you're saying is there ties there that are questionable.
Very.
I mean, come on.
Unbelievable.
That kind of shit seems to happen all the time.
The judge that signed off on it, his wife worked for Fusion.
Oh, yeah.
Fusion is the one that hired.
Right.
Guys, that's the federal government through and through and through.
Corruption, scratch your back.
You scratch my back.
I'll scratch your back.
Oh, guess what?
I'll give your nephew a job.
I'll give your wife a job.
I mean, look at Biden giving.
Is it Manchin?
What's his name?
Joe Manchin.
Yeah.
Biden is giving Joe Manchin's wife a seriously high paying job.
Well, to get him back on the side.
Yeah.
You tell me that's not that's not a job to see.
Yeah.
Oh, well, because Manchin came out and says, I'm not voting for this, this and this, which
was abolishing the filibuster.
Yeah.
Oh, that was.
Yeah.
And getting behind packing the Supreme Court.
I mean, what?
Yeah.
Really?
He's he's come out and he said that.
And is he all of a sudden for it?
No.
They're trying to sauce him up by giving his wife a job.
This is me.
I mean, dude, the federal government is so fricking corrupt, man, through and through.
It's nauseating.
And nobody does a damn thing.
You don't know what's really going on either.
You don't know if Jimmy the fish is like, hey, man, look, here's the deal.
We try to play your game.
And now we're just going to kill you.
You vote.
It would not surprise me.
Honestly, we're getting to the point where that would not surprise me.
So what's going on with this gets guy where Matt gets where it's come out supposedly that
is that how you say his last name gets?
Yeah.
Oh, I thought it was a guy.
It's either gets or gates.
Yeah, he's gets.
He got he got roped into a scandal.
Yeah.
Where they're saying that he had sex with a minor.
Right.
It was a sex trade thing.
Right.
And they were they were extorted him for twenty five million dollars.
That's all fake.
Well, well, somebody came out and said they were asking for money, but it wasn't extortion.
What is it called then?
Yeah, I know.
I know.
So I don't know all the details, but it's a matter of someone going to somebody on person
A doesn't matter who I am.
Hey, look, I'm going to I've got stuff against you.
Right.
And it's going to cost twenty five million if you want it.
I'm going public with it.
That would be there's nothing.
That'd be extortion.
Yeah.
Well, and then and then he turns around and he goes to he goes to the FBI.
The FBI or the New York Times.
And he says, hey, I got X, Y, Z.
And so it doesn't matter if it's right.
I'm sorry.
It doesn't matter if it's true.
They still report it.
Person A over here is claiming this and the FBI is looking into this.
But the FBI, the Department of Justice, isn't releasing the fact that there was nothing
ever really presented.
Meaning it was bullshit to begin with.
They're just smearing his slander.
So they're letting him be smeared.
Yeah.
And Matt Gates was kind of like, is that slander libel libel or slander?
I don't know.
The release, the paperwork about what's going on.
Yeah.
And they want it.
In other words, clear his name and they want.
Yeah.
He went on Tucker and Tucker was asking some hard questions.
I give him credit for that.
And Gates was lying it all out.
He's like it's and he named names.
He's like, it's this person who's at this law firm, firm who used to work in Obama's
administration.
Wow.
And then he's like, this is the person who called my father, either his father or his
wife's father.
So he double tripling down on this guy trying to do.
Yeah.
He's like, this is not true.
I went as soon as I got the phone call asking for money, we went straight to the FBI.
Who is there's a.
We'll see if it's again.
It's it's one of these things.
Is it real or is it not?
And whoever knows who's the hit team that who's the hit team that is exposing people?
It's there's a name for it.
Project Veritas.
Yes.
Veritas.
Veritas was sitting at a table with a CNN associate and they were talking about the
propaganda.
Yeah.
And Matt gets was he was the person he was talking about.
He says, let's take Matt gets and he says, we got this story.
We're going to it's going to it's going to hurt them, the Republicans.
So we're just going to keep hitting it.
We don't care if it's if it's true or not.
The fact is, is that it's a story and we're repeating the story.
And it's and it's hurting our enemy.
Yeah.
Well, and they came out with another project Veritas on on CNN where they admitted that
their sole goal, their sole goal leading up to the election was to get Trump out.
Yeah.
Everything, everything was geared around and we knew that.
And we absolutely knew that.
That's it.
I mean, they have their their goal and right now, I think CNN's goal is to if you watch
that, that's Stelter guy.
Brian looks like a weeble wobble.
Yeah, Brian Stelter, Brian Stelter.
I think his goal, Trump's not there.
So now he's going after Fox News.
Right.
Well, dude, nobody's watching anymore.
I know them complaining about Trump or people liking Trump.
Trump made people watch TV.
Yeah.
He made watch people made people watch news.
Well, they can't talk about him anymore.
Yeah.
Well, they still are.
So shockingly.
Well, they are.
And so they're going after Fox News now.
Right.
His latest was, well, they're not sharing.
They're going after Tucker.
No, they're going after all.
Well, Stelter is going after all of them.
Yeah.
But Tucker is the number one guy.
And because he makes the most sense and he's he does.
I love watching that guy.
So even like last year, they were outside of Tucker's house.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, harassing his wife and.
Yeah.
And a little kid.
Yeah.
So anyway, Stelter was like, we'll touch on this in the second half because we're about
to add halftime.
Stelter was complaining that the Fox News anchors were not doing vaccine selfies.
OK.
He actually said that.
He's such a frickin idiot.
They're not on board and they're not doing vaccine selfies.
Yeah, that's what the cool thing about being an American.
But you're supposed to have the choice.
Medical is usually a private thing.
Yeah, it is.
You know, we should touch on that in the second half.
Yeah, we can do that.
We definitely need to talk about vaccines and vaccine passports and Sean's privates.
Your junk is already hanging out.
Let's talk about Sean's junk.
I'll put my pants back on.
Thank you.
All right, guys, we'll catch you on the flip side.
Bye.
