Every time we come here, it's always everything
else but that. It's just me. It's just me. I
mean, you guys are, you know, not wanting me
to have the same experience. Well, I'm liking
the consistency because we had a stretch there
where it was a struggle. It was. And I think
you're right. We're referring to the sound system.
Yeah, I think it was the memory stick. Yeah,
you know what? Who knows? Strange. So for those
listeners out there that don't know what we're
talking about, we got a digital soundboard, an
X32 Behringer soundboard. It's top of the line,
digital. Of course, when you have something digital,
it's garbage in, garbage out. In the smallest
something, we'll do something. I have no idea.
At the end of the day, I have no idea what the
hell is going on. But the only thing we did was
change out the thumb drive. It's working great.
It has messed up since. And we sound great. I've
had multiple listeners tell me that I personally
sound amazing. That's because of the semblance
screen, but you don't have the semblance screen.
I took it off. We're getting ready for video.
People need to see this face. Oh, good Lord.
No, I'm sorry, guys. My confidence is spiking
with this whole video thing. I'm looking into
the future, and I'm seeing big. I think you've
popped one too many Sheila Jits. Maybe. Sheila
Jits. Maybe. All right, here we are. We are,
this is the last podcast of January. Shocking.
That it is. Yeah. It is, right? Is it next week,
February? February. Yes, it is. Because today
is the, what, 28th, 27th? Didn't we just start
2025? Yeah. You know what? The older we're getting,
these weeks, these days are just... Is it early
dementia? We're just not remembering? No, I just
think it's the Russell Tussle of the rat race.
I think that's what we... It's the rat race.
I think we've figured out that it's the rat race.
I think that of... the four of us in this room
right now i think jeff's probably the only one
that's going to get this figured out you know
with his retirement semi set set forth he's going
to be coasting into his retirement fuck it are
you semi -retired now jeff oh yeah possibly if
you want to call it that yeah i mean he's committed
to no more stress with with corporate life and
i applaud that you know if you don't have to
deal with that screw it yeah i love that that's
a good plan Yeah, I mean, health -wise, the more
I look back at it, I sat at my desk eight, ten
hours a day. Yes. Sedentary. You didn't have
one of those walking treadmills and a rising
desk like I do? No, it was always one of those
things where I was like, I need to do that, I
need to do that, and never did it. I bought the
rising desk, and I bought the walking treadmill,
and they both just kind of sit exactly where
they are. Do you use them? No, not yet, no. I
use my desk every day. Well, I mean, I use my
desk every day, but I mean, I lift it. Yeah.
I raise it up every day. And what do you do?
You know, it's funny. We had a team's meeting
today and. I raise the desk up, and I'm just
sitting there. He sits there, and he turns the
monitors down? No, but I'm just sitting there,
and there's like 30, 40 people on the call, and
all of a sudden, my head just kind of disappears.
Oh, you had the camera on. Oh, my goodness. Did
you not know? No, I knew exactly what I was doing.
Oh, you messed with them. And I was just sitting
there, because you know how the people act like
when you're walking behind a couch, and they
look like you're stepping down the stairs. Yes,
yes. And so all they could see was your eyes?
Well, no, it went gone. It was like... And it
was gone. And they were just like, and then finally
I stood up and someone made a comment. I thought
you've been down in the basement there. I love
it, man. Yeah, I really do need to do that. I
do have the little walking treadmill. I do have
the rising desk. I just, you know, it's super
simple. Just roll it over there, plop it down.
Put it together. It's just like anything. It's
a commitment. It's crazy. It's so easy. I don't
understand why it's so hard, though. Speaking
of age and where we're at. I think Paul and I
have gone through a couple of things this week.
I had my yearly physical, so that means I had
my prostate tickled. Oh, did you? Oh. Yes, that
was on Monday. Did you ask for an extended session?
No, I didn't have to. She was quite effective
at it. Oh, yeah, with small fingers. Small fingers.
You and your small finger doctors. It's intuitive.
I like the manly doctors. Dr. Guy Culpepper,
he's just huge. Just go in there and blow your
O -ring out. Oh, man. He's a WWE wrestler at
one time, wasn't he? My butthole looks like a
Funyun after he's done with it. Yeah, like Andre
the Giant. Beaten down. That's very nice. Dudes
Like Us. I'm Sean. I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff. It's
January 28th. It's the first half of our Dudes
Like Us show. Check us out on Facebook and Instagram,
dudeslikeus - podcast, and if you're looking
out for some swag we can offer, dudeslikeus -woodcraft.
We've got lots of cool stuff there. We do. Shout
out to the Lowry Crossing, 1845. We picked up
the latest and greatest God bless it, not the
Texian. What was it called? Texian. Was it Texian?
Yes. No, it was the Panhandle. How is it? I haven't
tasted it yet. I haven't either. We did a sample
there and it was very, very, very tasty. It's
not a bourbon. Right? It's another whiskey? It's
another whiskey. It's a whiskey. Correct. Is
it double -barreled or anything? No, it's not.
Yeah, what's unique about it? It's unique because
it's not something they normally make. No, so
is the Texian. You know what? You don't know
the details? I really don't, but we're going
to pull it up. Panhandle Proud Texas Straight
Whiskey. It is double oaked. A portion of the
proceeds from the sale will be donated to the
Panhandle Proud Initiative, an effort spearheaded
by Garrison Brothers to support those who suffered
by the devastating fires in early 2024. Your
support will help the farmers and ranchers in
the Amarillo area rebuild their herds, rehabilitate
their land, and replace their equipment. It's
a long road back. This one's aged 49 months,
aged almost four years, an ex -Kentucky... Bourbon
barrels, which is interesting. For the second
time, yeah. Then finished a new of barrels that
were toasted and lightly charred. That's why
it's a whiskey and not a bourbon. Correct. Because
it's a used barrel. Correct. Hey, look, when
we tasted this, it was fantastic. The 100 proof,
man, it tasted like 80 proof. It went down so
easy. I kind of put myself on a pause to buy
every bottle that comes out, not just from 1845,
but just in general. I mean, because I have such
a... I have way more than I could drink. Yeah,
I need a purge. And now I'm wishing I kind of,
I don't know. Well, it's not too late. I have
some FOMO on this one. And the price is right.
This one's $68 .99 before tax. You can buy it.
And look, you're not going to be able to buy
this Panhandle Proud anywhere but the distillery.
They don't offer this at the Total Wine or Spec
Stores. Right, right, right. Well, you know,
a lot of people are going through what you're
going through because the bourbon market. A lot
of the folks are saying that it's not crashing,
but it's softening. It's tempering. And MGP apparently
is in a world of hurt. Their CEO either got fired
or canceled, or I'm sorry, or he quit. Oh, the
CEO of MGP. The CEO of MGP. Oh, wow. Because
apparently they were giving outlooks, future
outlooks that were not true. So people were buying
stock. Thinking, wow, they're good. They're looking
great. And the guys I was listening to were like,
there's talk that the folks who purchased stock
within the last six months or something like
that, based off of this information they were
giving, could have a potential suit against them.
Absolutely. Yeah. If stakeholders are making
decisions based on flawed data, that's not good.
Yeah, so the CEO got, I don't know if he fired
or quit. He resigns. Resigned, wow. Yeah, so
he resigned because he screwed the pooch, man.
Yeah, I mean, the market's so saturated anyway,
right? I mean, it's just... Well, a lot of people
are going, like what you said, you're like, man,
I have a lot. I do. You know, you're like, how
many do I need? I mean, we have our collection
here, but personally, you know, I've probably
got four or five downstairs, and I'm not going
to get... much more beyond that right outside
of what i drink you know how long it's going
to take me to drink you what i have so you like
i mean everyone has their own par your par is
dependent on where you have your stuff like my
my office i got that little shelf set up i'm
almost full right i'm not going to be buying
anymore either right you know and uh well till
you empty one you're like i got room Right, right.
Yeah, but that's kind of where it's at, and I'm
also starting to get a little selective now.
Oh, yeah. We're getting to a point now where
I need to start focusing on retirement and dumping
some money, which, incidentally, I need to set
up those accounts, man. God bless it. Yeah, it's
real easy. Let's do it Thursday. Thursday. During
the day. You're working from home. You're working
from home every day. Yeah, Thursday so far I
am. All right, let's plan on that. Yeah, so I
travel tomorrow, Wednesday, but going back out
to Sulphur Springs. Is that where the nude con
is? No, that was Edinburgh, Texas. Shout out
to... I forget the name of it. Your nude friend?
No, what was the name? I wear the shirt a lot.
Sandy Shores or something like that? I wear that
shirt all the time. I forget what it is. Oh,
my God. Sandy... Anyways. Sand... Sand something.
Edinburgh, the nudist colony. Sandpiper. Sandpiper,
yeah. The Edinburgh Sandpiper Nudist Colony.
Shout out to those guys. And that was the story
of the tricycle with the flag. Oh my God. And
it was flooded. I'll tell you what. I'll go into
a quick synopsis of this because nobody knows
where I work at, but my job brings me to disasters.
Let's just say that. I show up at this one place
and I get an address. I don't really know where
I'm going. I do a little bit of research, find
out basically what it is. I find out it's an
RV park. And it's surrounded by a 10 -foot metal
fence. Like a mysterious compound. It did kind
of look like a compound. And there's a metal
big gate that opens up. Like a Maxwell Smart.
And these guys with machine guns are standing
there. But the place was, I mean, to get out
there, it was in the middle of kind of a... An
unpopulated area. Swampy or not swampy. The water
had filled up a lot because it hasn't drained
correctly yet. The place got flooded, long story
short. But I show up, and it turns out this is
a nudist colony. These doors open up, and there's
people that are naked walking around. And I'm
like, what the fuck is going on here? And you're
like, oh, yeah. This guy's like on his little
adult, mailed. tricycle, and it's got a little
ring, ring, ring, ring, and a little chihuahua
in the front basket. I don't understand how you
did it. Nuts are just splayed. Nuts on one side
is long on the other. Like spatchcocked over
the big bucket seat. I just don't understand
how you didn't turn around and walk out. Well,
it's my job, and I was kind of like, oh, man.
What do you think that seat looked like when
he got up? Moist. I didn't even think about it.
It looked moist and sticky. Hopefully he had
some wet wipes. Yeah. Well, it depends on how
long he was on the tricycle. He had a wonderful
time. Yeah, there it is. Sandpiper's nudist resort.
Oh, we could go. Yeah. We could check in, check
out. Yeah. Yeah. Kids are welcome. What? Yeah,
we'll bring a few kids out there. You did not
see that. They didn't see you. No, look what
it says there. Child guests. Yeah, right there.
Oh, my God. And pets. Yeah. Big enough to have
great amenities and a fun, active crowd. Small
enough to be really casual and comfortable. Look,
I don't care. It's none of my business, but you
know what? The people that were there, you did
feel a sense of community there. They were friends.
These type of people are kind of, I don't want
to say wealthy, but they don't have that. That
is not the average person that's there. I'd say
they've got a little bit, about 30, 40 years
of hangage. Yeah, see, that's false advertising.
They've got this, you know. This is the backside
of a lady in the pool and the backside of a woman.
You see her naked bottom. Oh, and she's. And
she's topless, grilling. I was like, really?
Come on. Do you have a nice body? She's young,
virile. None of them look like that. Not one
of them. It's an interesting way of life. Hats
off to those guys that can do stuff like that.
I don't care. It's none of my business. They
have a good time. It's a good sense of community.
They all care about each other. And I don't know
if they're into this group stuff, but whatever.
But hats off to them for their confidence. Nude
Olympics. They have nude Olympics. Yeah, that's
my shirt. It's the home of the Sandpiper nude
Olympics. I've got a t -shirt. Why is he leaping
like that? Well, he's playing basketball. He's
going up to catch a ball. We're not really sure
what he's doing. Actually, I don't know what
that is. Where's his junk? Oh, they don't have
junk at this. Is it like taped? We're seeing
a silhouette. They've all been altered. You know
what? Let's just move on. So anyways, how do
we get distracted on that? Sulphur Springs. Sulphur
Springs. That's where I'm headed. Which is not
a nudist resort. It is not. So I got to go back
out to Sulphur Springs. It's whatever. It's a
couple hours away. It's not that big of a deal.
There's Sulphur Springs. Yeah, it's more damage,
more disasters. Yeah, I'll tell you what, this
really grinds my gears. This grinds my gears.
You know, there are people out there that file
insurance claims and they get a public adjuster
attached to this thing. And look, the thing is
that they're playing by the rules. And insurance
companies will pay if you're playing by the rules.
But you've got to have a sense of reality to
this. And you've got to have a sense of what's
right and what's wrong. And I'm going to refer
to a storage unit. I'm just making this up. So
imagine you have a 15 -building storage complex
with these big bay doors. They're metal, right?
Sure. And you have insurance for a reason to
protect the buildings in case they get damaged.
Sure. Well, typically with buildings like that,
you have what they call a cosmetic exclusion,
which means... that you save money because if
the building gets hit with a piece of hail, it
leaves a little dimple. A dimple doesn't really
damage it. It's not going to rust. It's argumentative
for some of those ignorant folks out there, but
it doesn't rust. There's nothing wrong with it.
It's going to shed water just fine. So these
cosmetic exclusions don't extend to the big bay
doors they have in the front. So it's covered
because it's damaged, and it's bullshit. It is
absolutely a cash grab. So what happens is that
you get these people out there and these public
adjusters and they'll go out there and say, all
right, well, we have 120 of these bay doors and
these things are around $4 ,000 a piece. We want
to replace them all. So what they'll do is they
will file an insurance claim. We'll get an engineer
out there and he'll be like, well, it's got dimples
in it. It's not damaged, but it's fractured.
So, you know, it's got dimples. Like it was.
Right. And now the agents will now, because the
carriers are going to come back and be like,
yeah, this is bullshit. We can't do anything
about it, but shame on me once, shame on you.
Whatever. That phrase is over again. So they're
going to end up adjusting that policy for the
next period. And they have no choice because
it's covered. It's covered. They're playing by
the rules. They're going to cut a $400 ,000 check.
Whatever it is. And they're not going to fix
it. So when you file an insurance claim, it basically
comes in two parts. They pay you up front the
ACV, the actual cash value of whatever happens.
Let's say it's two years old. So they're only
going to apply like maybe 20 % depreciation.
So they're going to pay 80 % of that. All right?
So you get an 80 % check. Bam. There you go.
Fix it. Well, you could take that check and go
to Las Vegas and never do a damn thing. Right.
That goes for anything. Any insurance claim.
That's true. That's true. But it's wrong. It's
totally wrong. It's morally wrong. It's ethically
wrong. I agree. And that's what happens a lot.
And these public adjusters out there, I got to
tell you, man, they're... is sometimes a need
to have someone provide support for you if you
get this Nazi -style adjuster out there that
just, not necessarily that they're trying to
be nefarious and trying to rip you off, but they
don't have enough attention to detail to really
provide you with the amount that coverage you
should get. They just kind of like, they're like,
eh, that's good enough, we'll go. And they're
ignorant and they don't know. They accept the
money and they pay the difference and they move
on with life. Well, these public adjusters are
there to help them, but these public adjusters,
90 % of them out there, they're just snakes.
They're just looking for a payout? A cash grab.
Yeah. That's all this is, is a cash grab. Do
they get a percentage? Let's say that's $400
,000. Do they get like 10 % of that? Yeah, it's
absolutely what it is. That's bullshit. It is
bullshit. So they basically get 10 % of that
$40 ,000, and they spent like two, three weeks
on it. You know, but it gets worse because you
got, you got these public adjusters that are
tied into a million dollars, $10 million, $50
million. Those guys are getting paid. And I just
think it's wrong. You know, I'll give you another
example. Like Dylan got into a pretty bad car
wreck a couple of years ago with his very first
car. Right. I don't know. I don't know if you
guys remember that, but he was being stupid.
Right. Eight days after he got his license. Right.
Anyway, he was speeding down a road, a residential.
I say residential road. It's like one of the
roads that leads into the subdivision, right?
But there's no homes on it. Anyway, so lost control,
knocked over a pole, and wrapped the car around
a tree, okay? And seriously, lucky to be alive,
and so was his passenger, right? And so part
of the claim was $30 ,000 for the damage to the
tree, right? Because it knocked off 30 grand.
Okay, but hold on a second. Was the tree on a
commercial property or residential? It was on
probably the subdivision's property, not a -
So it was a homeowners association. Yeah. So
they charged our insurance 30 grand for that
tree because it knocked off some bark and whatever.
It didn't knock the tree over. It just knocked
some bark off. Years later, I go back to that
subdivision for a completely unrelated thing.
Tree's still there. Tree's still standing. Bark's
fine. Whatever. That's fucking scam. That's fraud.
That is insurance fraud. So who kept that money,
that 30 grand? I guess the homeowners association,
and then they threw a huge -ass party. You don't
think anyone embezzled that, pockled it? Probably.
Well, I mean, if that money went, let's, man,
I don't know. I don't want to get into scenarios,
but it happens all the time. It happens all the
time. When money gets involved, people turn into
fucking idiots. Yeah, they do. They do. They
do. When they see that there's an opportunity
to make 30 grand, they'll do some stupid shit.
And it doesn't have to be that way. I mean, not
that I'm tooting my own horn, but Brody, somebody
hit Brody in that roundabout. And I looked at
the damage and it was basically damage. There
was already previous damage to that corner. And
everybody was like, okay, well, you know, get
the money, but don't fix it. I'm like, that's
not right. What am I going to do that for? First
off, and it's a pain in my ass. I got to go get,
you know, three or two or three quotes and, you
know, let that lady know. And she's probably
stressing about it because she wanted to handle
outside of insurance. And she didn't make a lot
of money. It was a piece of shit old Honda. Right.
You know what I mean? And finally, I just texted
her and said, you know what? I'm not going to
fix the car. So there's no point in. Right. And
she was like super thankful about it. But I mean,
if you're not going to fix whatever you're getting
insurance money for, then you should not ask
for it. Right. That's my attitude. I agree. 100%.
So anyway. Interesting. How do we get on the
things that we get on, huh? Well, he was talking
about the Sulphur Springs again. Yes. Oh, yes.
And the doors. Yes, we were talking about what
he's doing Thursday. Yes, yes. Wednesday, Wednesday,
Wednesday. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Tomorrow. Busy,
busy week for Mr. Donald Trump. Oh, yeah. Well,
the past two weeks. He's out of control in terms
of stamina and - How much sleep do you think
he's getting? Two hours? So, I don't know if
this is true, but they say he works until 2 a
.m. and he gets four hours of sleep. Yeah, I've
heard that before. Yeah, so I don't know why
he has a brain that can do that. You know what?
Some people do. I do not. Maybe, fuck, who knows,
man. And, you know, he may get a full seven,
full eight. I mean, I don't know. Who knows?
It's insane. There's a lot of travel that he
does. But they talk about his ability to just
go, his energy level and his stamina. I couldn't
even keep up with him. He doesn't drink. Oh,
you know what? I was going to say he eats healthy,
but he doesn't. One of his favorites is on McDonald's
or something like that. Yeah, McDonald's, KFC.
But we don't know what he eats the rest of the
time. But I do know he doesn't drink alcohol
and hasn't for decades. But he doesn't smoke.
Right. Doesn't smoke. What a boring guy. Doesn't
drink, doesn't smoke. Does he listen to rock
and roll? He just does. Huh. Sean submitted it.
That's right. Oh, so you guys pay attention.
It's going to go on his desk. Pay attention to
the press conferences at the White House. So
that's where I got the information from. We may
be there. Because there was the new, the secretary,
not the secretary, the speaker of the house,
not the speaker of the house. Press secretary.
Press secretary. Levitt. Levitt, what's her first
name? Stephanie Levitt? What is her first name?
Levitt, Levitt. Mr. Producer. Carlita? Carlita
Levitt? I don't think so. I think it starts with
an H. Is it Hannah Levitt? No, it starts with
a K, doesn't it? Josie? No, it's not Josie. It's
Caroline. I was close. Did you say Caroline?
Caroline Leavitt. No, you didn't. She had mentioned
during her thing today. By the way, she is a
firecracker. She's an ass kicker. And they tried
to beat, because this was her first one. I guarantee
those people were trying to put her in her place
and beat her into submission. She was laughing
at them. Smirking and smiling and laughing at
them like, you people. What the hell ever. Bring
it. Yeah, she's awesome, man. And Jim Acosta,
man, what a piece of shit. I don't know if that's
old video footage they've been circulating or
is that new? Was he just in front of Trump raiding
him again? Acosta? Yeah. I don't think so. No,
I don't. Did you hear the latest on him? He's
getting canned, isn't he? Booted from CNN. Hold
on, because there was a press conference that
they just put out. Of him berating Donald Trump.
Then that's got to be from his first term. So
it wasn't like this past week? No. I don't think
so. No. And technically he wasn't booted. They
moved him to the midnight slot. And he's butthurt
and doesn't want to do that. And so he quit.
He has parted ways with CNN. Well, I mean, rightfully
so. Because you know what? Here's the thing.
He's a... He's a douchebag. Asshole, man. Total
douchebag. I mean, you don't, I don't care. Look,
even if Trump, you have to show the president
respect. Right. You know, it's like. He's the
soundbite king. It's like, come on, man. Gotcha
questions. But he wouldn't relinquish the mic.
Oh, yeah, that was an old one. He had the mic,
and then the girl was trying to grab it from
him, and he wouldn't do it, and finally Trump
just backed away from the mic. He was kind of
like, you know what? I'm not fucking talking
to you. He's like, you know what? That was Freak's
first term. Yeah, that was, yeah. Yeah, but good
riddance. I'm glad I didn't hear about that.
I'm glad he quit because he's a bad human being.
He really is. It shouldn't be like that. He is
all about himself. And then you've got the other
guy. It was the ABC News anchor. What is that
his name? He was spouting off to Karina today.
Who? I don't know all their names, but he's been
on there for a while. Caroline, I'm sorry. I
was going to say, Karina's the old one. I was
like, she's back? No, I don't think so. Caroline,
he was spouting off to her. Is that the guy with
the gray hair who got a grill on her? He's one
of the only guys that was doing it. And she went
toe -to -toe with him. She did, but whatever.
I was happy to see her there. Completely two
different games that Joe, oh my God. KJP? Yeah,
KJP. Totally different game. She sucked at lying.
So she looked awful up there and she did a very
poor job. Yeah, but it's just like they didn't
get called because in the news. Today, Caroline,
one of the news reporters, they were like, and
thank you for calling on me. I haven't been able
to speak for the last four years. Oh, did they
say that? Yeah. Straight out. Oh, that's awesome.
Because KJP wouldn't call on her. She's like,
we're going to give some love to the back of
the room. She would call folks all the way in
the back. I know, and that's where we'll be if
we get called in there. No, we're front row.
Oh, front row. We're front row. That's where
I was going with this whole thing. I was listening
to Caroline. And if you guys want to come up
and ask some questions for us on some of our
news outings, just go to whitehouse .gov forward
slash new media. And I went there. I filled out
the paperwork. Just imagine it now. Here's Caroline.
I'll take a question from one of you dudes like
us. What's on your mind? What would be your question,
Sean? Go. Don't. Just go. Go. Come on. You have
to be holding that. To be fair. You have to be
holding that. That's your question? We would
all do it together. And then everybody would
look at it. To be fair. And she'd go, okay, next
question. Yeah, we all have to have a glad Karen
of bourbon while we're there. Everybody's going
to be like, who are these fools? You know what?
I mean, we'd obviously be prepared if we were
in there and asked some questions. But it'd be
kind of cool. They'd have to be non -traditional
questions, though. They would. Not the standard
bullshit. Right. Well, I think our podcast qualifies
for that. There's nothing traditional about what
we do. We could say, we understand that Donald
doesn't drink alcohol, but if he did, what bourbon
would he choose? Right. Would that be a relevant
question? She'd be like, yeah, I'm not calling
out you again. Yeah, she'd be like, yeah. Security?
I think, yeah, whatever. I mean, it's a good
choice for him not to drink. I salute that. He
doesn't need it. I mean, look at him. He's present.
He's rich. He's got a beautiful wife. He's got
beautiful kids. I mean, what the hell? He's got
everything set for him. What were some highlights
this week? I know he was talking about, let's
see. Well, he's deporting a bunch of the criminals.
Yeah, ICE is going to town right now. Yeah, they're
going to ape shit. They even did it here in North
Texas. They were gathering up folks. They were
gathering up folks, and there was a protest down
there in Dallas saying, you know, you can't.
Don't take away those super violent criminals.
We want them here. And they all had. Foreign
flags. Yeah, that's it. In fact, I saw on the
news that in downtown Dallas, they've got the
Mexican flags, but they also had these flags
that had the state of Texas meshed with the Mexican
flag. You know what? Fuck that. We are Texas.
We're part of the United States. You know, walk
the walk. Look, man, if you don't like it, get
the fuck out. That's all I got to say, man, because
this is Texas. Look at that gay flag with the
stars on it. Just the stars, yeah. No human is
illegal. Go carry that sign around over the Middle
East. Yeah, the rest of the world. Nobody allows
what we allow. It's crazy. And we put a stop
to it. Whatever. You know what? We're changing
everyone's tune because Donald is going out in
front of the world and dropping the hammer like
his trip to California and sitting in front of
Karen Bass and the rest of the fucking panel.
That was great. Just dropping the bomb. Oh, it's
water. Yeah. It's very effective. Yeah, it's
very effective. Or efficient. It's very efficient.
It's going to be like, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum,
bum. Yeah, going back to ICE. So, I mean, you
know, all the liberals are freaking out and crying.
Selena Gomez. Yeah, Selena Gomez bawling her
eyes out. I don't know what to do. My people,
me. That was over the top. You are an idiot.
And she, like, immediately canceled it or deleted
it. Because one of her friends was like, you
know they're exporting criminals, right? You
know they're criminals. I was hoping to get raped
on my last run. What? Really? Wow. And then you
have the governor of Illinois claiming that ICE
is raiding schools. Right. And so now I've got
friends of mine saying, you know, they're raiding
schools now. You think that's okay? And I'm like,
I think that's probably fake news. And sure enough,
the governor came out later and backtracked.
But you know. you know that the mainstream media
is not going to cover the backtrack. Correct.
Which means the fact, the quote fact, is out
there forever. Correct. Right? Never disputed.
It's so ridiculous. I mean, they are not, I mean,
now granted, I mean, and even Frisco ISD, by
the way, put out a notice that according to the
14th Amendment, you know, all students that they
have, illegal or not, you know, are, you know,
if they're, have the right to education. Right?
So they're going to... Yeah, but they don't have
the right... They have the right to an education
while they're here, but they don't have... It
depends in which they have it. I mean, they don't
have to have it in the structured environment
of our schools. Well, no, I mean, I think if
they're here, the schools can't turn them away.
I get that. It's not like the school can say,
oh, wait a second, you're an illegal alien. I'm
sorry. That's all... Okay, but here's my point.
But if the family gets deported... then the kid
is pulled out of school and they go back to their
country of origin. I agree. It's not up to the
school to decide who to give education to or
not. If the kids are there, educate them. So
when our kids go, don't we need to provide all
kinds of information on who they are and where
they live and who we are? Yeah. Vaccine cards
and all that bullshit? Oh, yeah. That's a good
point. How do these folks... Do they get a pass
on that kind of stuff? That's what I mean. I
mean, are they... Are there exemptions? Because
I don't have an ID. And I don't know where I
live. Yeah, I don't have a social security number.
That's another thing. I think that, you know,
separate but equal kind of program set up for
those guys. And that sounds really shitty. But
you know what? I don't care. You know what? Because
they're not equal. Because they don't have the
required amount of vaccines. Our kids couldn't
go to school if they didn't have the correct
vaccines. Well, you had to get an exemption.
But they still have to get it. Right. Some of
them are not completely vaccinated, so we just
had to kind of fill out that exemption form,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I agree with
that 100%. That's what RFK right now, we're not
completely not wanting to jump off the vaccine
wagon. We just don't need 30 of them. Well, we
don't need untested experimental mRNA vaccines
either. So that one, I have a - Well, did you
say there's a new one coming out for the stomach
bug? Yeah, the norovirus. It's another mRNA.
Yeah. And by the way, it's experimental. My only
thing I said with that is at least they're testing
it this time. Well, they, quote, tested the coronavirus
one, too. Did they? Yeah. And they totally fudged
over the test results. Oh, yeah. Well, there's
a study out there. I have a problem with EMR.
In the United States, Robert, the guy that was
the inventor of Myrna. you know, the mRNA. Oh,
yes. Spiked Robert Malone, I think is his name.
Yeah, yeah, I know who you're talking about.
That is his name, Robert Malone. I think so.
So he was doing a, having a meeting with some
health officials, and they were talking about,
and this was recent, they were talking about,
well, how many deaths were a result of people
getting the jab? And he was just like, well,
how many deaths were involved with this? Well,
I'll tell you what, in the United States, you
could say there could have been at least 500
,000 deaths related to getting the jab here in
the United States. At least 500 ,000 could have
been related to that. From the jab, not from
COVID. The virus itself. And they said worldwide,
it could have been as many as 17 million that
died from taking the jab. See, and they'll of
course say that's fake news, that the virus is
what killed them, and blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah. So I don't know. I don't know what's true.
I just know that we're not being given the whole
truth. That I do know. I believe what Robert
Malone says because he invented it. Yeah, he
knows. Well, he just knows it wasn't ready. He
definitely knows it wasn't ready. Well, where's
he getting his information from? Where does he
get that number? I don't know. He's probably
in the lab. I thought they're saying that 500
,000 in total died. So what he's saying is. It
might have been every single death of COVID might
have been the jab, not the COVID itself. No.
I think that's the number. He's not talking about
COVID. He's talking about the jab. Well, I understand
that. But I'm just saying, I think it was 500
,000 people that are attributed to dying of COVID.
You know what bothers me? I don't know how that
would work. Whenever I go pick up prescriptions
at CVS or Kroger or wherever, they always ask,
do you want your COVID vaccine? Right. And flu.
Yeah, and I give a shit. I'm like, no, I'm not
taking that crap. Dude, I think - Where do you
pick up your stuff? Put a note in my thing not
to ask me that again. Where do you buy your stuff
at? CVS. I go to Walmart. They never ask me that.
Yeah, CVS does every single time. I would tell
them. I do. A few choice words. I do. I tell
them. I tell them. I was like, I've never gotten
it. I don't want to take it. Stop fucking asking.
Stop asking me. Yeah, the last number I heard
is at 8%. of americans are continuing on with
like the boosters and shit like that i guarantee
that number is even lower now that's stupid i
mean i think i think pfizer totally overestimated
i mean that's what they thought this would be
this would be the the holy grail of revenue for
them forever because it was it's going to be
a never -ending booster right and every but just
like the flu shot everybody bailed on it yeah
i know well there's still people doing like you
said eight percent because i was on reddit which
is just a liberal swamp hole. It is a cesspool.
And something populated on my thing on cruises,
and all that was in there was about getting the
COVID shot before you go. And if you have a cough,
be considerate and wear masks the whole trip.
Oh, my God. You need to wear masks. You need
to get your COVID shot before you go on a cruise.
Crazy. But there were a bunch of people going,
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Well, you know, this
bird flu is coming and they're already saying
it comes every year. I know. And they're making
a big deal out of this. Of course. And the conspiracy
theorists are saying that this is another attempt
to take down the Trump administration. Right.
To present another pandemic. Well, I don't know.
We'll see. He won't shut the thing down. I mean,
unless it turns into something that actually
is horrible. Yeah. You know, there are these.
But how are we going to get any guidance without
Fauci? Fauci's gone now. Well, he's got a preemptive
pardon, doesn't he? Yeah, he does. That's going
to screw him. But don't we need his guidance?
You know, that's going to screw him. And I've
heard two kind of scenarios. I've heard that
he could be extradited by some foreign country
and tried there. One. And two. Well, the U .S.
government has to approve that. It'll never happen.
Yeah, that won't happen. They're not going to
go after him. Well, I heard you guys also say
the Gulf of America is not going to change. It's
not. Worldwide, it's not going to change. Well,
I think it's hilarious. It's on Google. It doesn't
mean it's worldwide. That's true. Google's worldwide.
It's only in America, though. I think it's not
official. I think it's only official because
Trump is making it official for the United States.
And so Google is going to do it, but they're
waiting on some U .S. government agency that
kind of puts out the formal thing. They're waiting
for them to approve it, and then they'll do it.
Things change all the time. Yeah, I have no problem
calling it the Gulf of America. I just don't
think it's going to happen. If it does, that's
great. Right. Oh, you think? I don't think the
world will adopt it. Oh, not the world. But Google
will go ahead and say, sure, whatever. Right.
If you want to call it Gulf of America for our
users. Correct. But, I mean, that doesn't make
sense because you have the Czechoslovakia. I
mean, they broke up into two separate countries.
I mean. They named themselves, right? Well, they're
named now. Yeah. I mean, I'm just saying that
I think the world can adapt. Well, no, it can.
There has to be agreement, and there is not agreement
on this. There's not agreement. It's been Gulf
of Mexico. It's been Gulf of Mexico. Yeah, but
it says who. It's been Gulf of Mexico since 1500.
Who hasn't agreed with it? The world is what
I'm saying. Right. I'm sorry, but I'm just trying
to wrap my head around who's not agreeing with
it. Do you think Mexico's going to agree with
this? Okay, so there's one. I'm going to go with
no. No. But who else? Who else cares? Do you
think Cuba? Do you think Russia? Do you think
China? Yeah, I don't think they give a shit.
They're not going to do it. I think they love
us. They'll be like, fuck yeah. I don't know
the answer to that, Sean. I don't even know what
it takes to make it official. I mean, do they
vote? All we really need to know. Do they vote
on it in the UN? There's actually an outfit out
there that is, and it's not for all the bodies
of water, that names bodies of water. And there's
also oceans and seas across the ocean that have
two different names. All you have to do is get
China on board. Where the country calls it one
thing and the world calls it everything else.
Okay, well then that's what we're going to be
dealing with. We're going to deal with inconsistencies
because America wants to call it blah. Right.
Okay, well, whatever. I don't have a problem
with it. Well, where do you go? Because it brings
up a good point. So if I want to change the name
of something, I mean, let's say it's not a land.
Let's say it's a fish. Okay. Who do you go to
to make that proposition? If there are stars
out in the sky, I mean, I can go to a website
and claim my own star. You can name your own
star. I mean, but that can't change the name
of a star. What are you going to call your star,
Sean? What are you calling your star? Terra.
No, I wouldn't call it Terra. Oh, that's beautiful.
It's very nice. Yeah, that would have been nice.
It would have. But anyways, no, I wouldn't. I'd
call it something else. Call it Paul. Paul's
butthole. Paul, come over here. I call it the
great fun. You want to look at my star? It's
called Paul. I named it after you, Paul. It's
a chocolate star. Look at the glitter. I got
to go home, dude. Look at the glitter. I don't
know. I just think I'm hopeful, too. I'm hopeful
to catch this. At the end of the day, fuck, man.
It is the Gulf of America because it's not the
Gulf of Mexico. Right. It's not. I don't know.
I mean, who has more boundary on that? on that
body of water? I don't know. It's the entire
east coast of Mexico, right? Let's look real
quick. Oh, shit, man. It's pretty close to a
tie. Yeah, it's... Look at that. I think we win.
I think that... That's pretty close. It's pretty
damn close. You're going to have to ask ChatGPT.
That'd be the only way you could do that. Maybe
all the little nooks and crannies up there in
the Mississippi area adds a little, some length.
Here we go. I think it's fair to split that.
Let's see what it says. They could draw an imaginary
line between the two coasts. Great question.
When it comes to the Gulf of Mexico, Flora holds
the title for the most shoreline. It's going
by state. It's not by country. I love the dialogue
style of talking to chat GPT. I use it all the
time. Hey, that's a great question. No, and I'm
like, no, no, no, I mean this. No, do it by this
anyway. I don't have to jump on that program.
I don't have to redo the question. It's literally
like talking to a person. I love it. To be honest,
I don't trust chat GPT very much. Right. Because
I gave you that example. I don't remember what
it was. I asked the question. Oh, it was the
Robert De Niro thing because I was editing and
I chat GPT'd about the... Medal of Freedom. Yeah.
And Trump, one thing it said, Donald Trump did
not do it because Robert De Niro does not have
the Medal of Freedom. I was like, well, I thought
Obama gave him the Medal of Freedom. Oh, you
are correct in questioning me. I love how it
says, oh, I'm sorry. I was wrong. Yeah. So, yes,
he did get it. Trump did, you know, but then
it didn't reference Trump. I was like, well,
did Trump pull it out? Then he gave me the same
answer. Trump did not do it because he never
received the Medal of Freedom. So crazy. I was
like, I can't believe you. But then there was
a different medal that was rescinded from, but
it was from the movie maker people. He was given
an award from like Hollywood, and when he had
his rant outside of the courthouse, they removed
his. Correct. Yeah, it was something like that.
No Medal of Freedom has ever been rescinded.
Oh, nice. Okay. According to ChatGPT. So we officially
were wrong on that. The United States is 1 ,500
miles, and Mexico has 1 ,000. There you go. There
we go. We win. There we go. It's Gulf of America
now. Again, I have no problem calling it Gulf
of America. I just don't think worldwide. And
it's not the Gulf of the United States. It's
the Gulf of America. We're North America. Yeah.
You know, it's North America and South America.
No, I agree. And they're South America, right?
I agree. Yeah, why should it be one country?
It's shared by South America. It's shared by
North America. And Cuba. What he's doing here
is uniting. The entire continent. People don't
see that. Because when you say America, people
think of the United States. Of course. Of course.
I'm joking. Canadians can say, I'm American.
Right. Yeah. So could Mexicans. I'm American.
So not only is the Gulf of Mexico. Did you hear
Pete Hegseth reference Fort Bragg? Oh, has he
changed the name back? When he was doing his,
you know. What was it changed to? It was changed
to a non -Civil War person. Yeah, they changed
quite a few. Fort Moore was one of them. Yeah.
What's the one down here in Texas that they changed
outside of Killeen? I don't know. Fort Liberty
was Fort Bragg. Is Fort Hood still Fort Hood?
I think it is. Oh, they changed Fort Hood? Why?
Because Hood was a Civil War general? It's like
Fort Cavazzolo or something like that. Are you
serious? I didn't hear that. Yeah, Fort Cavazos.
Yeah, Fort Cavazos. Oh, my God. So, yeah. So,
they basically - May 9th, 2023. The name is changed
to honor General Richard E. Cavazos, the first
Hispanic American to become a four -star general.
Correct. So, basically, this was when they were
purging all the statues, purging all the names
of anything referencing Civil War, and I think
that's a mistake because you can't erase history.
You want to embrace history, right? Right. Yeah.
Anyway, so, Hegseth said Fort Bragg, and it's
not called Fort Bragg. So people were like, ooh.
And I was like, I love it. I love it. Very nice.
Stomping on the easiest grounds that you can
walk on. I wonder if he's going to undo all those.
He could. So what is Fort Brantford? Fort Liberty.
Fort Liberty. Now, Carvazos, I believe, is still
alive. Do you go up to him and go, yeah, we're
going to switch it back? Yeah, sorry. So what
was it? It was Fort Hood first? Fort Hood. So
what was Fort Hood named after? Was it some Civil
War general? I don't know. So, I mean, that's
just it. I mean, you're going to piss off somebody.
I mean, you're ruining somebody's, I mean, it's
like going back and, yeah, yeah, Liberty Lakes,
the Indian and the butter. He was a Confederate
General John Bell Hood who commanded the Texas
Brigade during the Civil War. Yeah, that's just
absolute nuts. They would change that stuff.
Bring it back. What, they could change the Alamo
next? Yeah, do not erase history. You can't do
that. It's not a good idea. I was so angry when
they did that. Was it during Biden? It was during
Biden, wasn't it? Yeah, it was Biden. 100%. Yeah,
because he did 22 or 23. Yeah, 23. Download it
back over to those ICE agents. It's kind of funny
when they were taken off to Columbia, and the
plane was about to land. The Columbia president
was like, hey, we don't want you here. You can't
land. Trump was like, oh, by the way, if you
don't let them land, I'm going to do 25 % tabs.
And sure enough. And after a week, he said it
would be 50. Yeah. After a week. Fuck yeah. On
his Colombian coffee. And then, so he says, okay,
okay, okay. I'm not going to do the action. But,
you know, you can use my personal plane. Yeah.
But then. He had unloaded with all the cocaine
on it, though, first. Well, probably. But then
on Sunday night, he, I guess, they were, you
know, saying, you know, he got bitched, you know,
by Trump. And they were dogging on him. And so
he doubled down on Sunday night. And, like, reversed
course again, right? You look even like more
of an idiot doing this. So, and I know that there's
the politicians, other politicians in that country
were trying to organize an emergency delegation
to come to the United States to undo the damage
that the president had done. He's a dictator,
isn't he? Is he? No, I don't think so. I don't
think he is because we have Colombian students
here. Well, I know, but wasn't he elected illegitimately
or something like that? Or is that Venezuela?
They kind of alluded to he was a former criminal.
I did read that, I think. It may have been Venezuela
I'm thinking of. Yeah, but the thing is that
you get like Ocasio -Cortez. Yeah, Petro. The
price of coffee is going to go up now. Bitch,
this is what they call economics. You know, there's
other coffee brands from other countries out
there. If they want to sell their coffee here,
there's going to be a tariff on it. Guess what?
If the coffee doesn't sell, they're going to
have to lower their price or they're going to
have to do a change on their side. You know,
tariffs are like, oh, tariffs are going to hurt
us. No, they're not. No, they're not. It actually
encourages competitors to have an opportunity.
And I think most of the beans I heard came from
Brazil. Yeah, 100%. So Brazilian coffee would
go through the roof. Yeah, or Ethiopian or all
those other types of coffees. He backed down
because he knows that he can't compete. He made
a mistake. He can't talk shit about this kind
of thing. He will bury you. Trump will bury you,
and he means it. This isn't bluffing. People
should know that now. He knows what he's doing
this time around, and he's not bluffing. He doesn't
bluff around. No, he doesn't bluff around. That's
right in your face. I'll tell you what. Stick
around and bluff off, right? He is being blunt,
and he's not holding back. The whole Karen Bass
exchange was brilliant. It was brilliant. And
then guess what? I think they went ahead and
let the people start clearing out their rocks.
The next day. Yeah. And it's funny because she
was just like, okay. She went back with them
from 18 months, and she was like, it's not 18
months. And there were people out in the audience
that were like, yes, it is. And he's like, there's
four or five people raising their hands saying
it is. And then she was like, well, we could
probably do it in a week. And then Trump was
like, yeah, it's too long. Too long. Too long.
How about noon tomorrow? Yeah. He goes, I hope
you use your emergency powers because these people
need to be on their lives by noon tomorrow. Damn.
And then people in the crowd are like, you know,
talking about different other things like, oh,
yeah, we need a permit for this and a permit
for that and a permit for that. No, we need another
permit. And Trump's like, you need three permits
for this? And then Karen Bass started saying,
well, yeah, we're going to start streamlining
the permitting process. We're going to have them
all in one room so you can get all the permits
at once. That whole thing made her look like
a complete fool. She doesn't know what she's
doing. All of the Democrat politicians look like
complete fools. And then when they took the mic
away from her and then handed it to some other
Yahoo, and he thought he was going to assert
his authority, and Trump was kind of like, yeah,
it's cold water. That's what's going to make
a difference here. And the other thing that was
great is when, I mean, they were going around
robbing, right, with the microphone. But whenever
it was a Republican, you know, they've been shit
on for decades. They have no power. They scream
bloody murder, but they don't go anywhere. But
they're like, we're so glad you're here. We can
finally talk about this. And you know what I
mean? They're like. Did you see the video of
Governor Newsom on the tarmac? Oh, yeah. That
alpha. The alpha display? What'd he do? Did he
try to shake his hand real hard? Oh, yeah. No,
no. Before that. Before that. When he was waiting
for Trump's plane to land. You know he was uninvited,
right? Well, regardless, I'm just saying. Was
he getting all his peacock feathers up and everything?
No, he looked like a child waiting for his dad
to show up that's going to scold him. He was
just kind of like, oh, just kind of fidgety.
Yeah, well, I'll give you context. He was uninvited.
And he's like, well, I know I'm, you know, he
acknowledged that he was not asked to be there
by Trump, but he said, I'm going to be there
anyway. And so there's that awkward setup, right?
He's going to show up. Trump's going to walk
off the plane. And then what? And then they got
into this alpha, alpha handshake. And, you know,
the hard, the hard shoulder slaps on both sides.
And they both kind of output each other. And
Trump was just like, bitch, please. I didn't
see that, man. Yeah. Pull that up. Did they bump
dicks? I don't know. They were helicoptering
this shit out of each other. Trump just came
down the plane, helicoptering. But he, you know,
and Trump might have been gracious, but you can
see, Gavin being kind of assertive here. Watch
this. Kind of slapping each other and they're
not letting go. Who let goes first? And he's
shaking his finger at him and Trump's like, give
me my fucking hand back. And now he's like, yeah,
look at him. And Trump's like, okay, whatever.
You know what they're doing here? They're testing
this. So the next time Trump goes out there,
they're going to have him shot from two miles
out. So, I mean, was that a pleasant exchange?
It didn't look like it. No. Looked like Gavin
was bitching at him. Kind of did. No, I don't
know. He might have been like - He wasn't dressed
for success either. He might have been mainly
manning, you know? He was dressed in jeans and
just casual shirt not tucked in. I mean, who
do you think you are? Fetterman? I don't know.
Speaking of Fetterman, did you see him on The
View? Yes, I'm loving that guy right now. I didn't
see it, but I heard about him. Hey, man, I think
he - He's got his own mind, and he's rational.
He's like, I don't vote for Republican policies.
I vote for Democrats, but I know - that I want
to make Pennsylvania successful, and I want to
win. He cares about his situation. He has changed
my mind on what I thought he was. I thought he
was a disaster when he won, just because basically
he couldn't talk. Well, he was. He was recovering
from a stroke, and he was not doing well. He
wasn't communicating well. He's actually recovered
very nicely. Yeah, yeah. That's a great thing
for him. He's still a Democrat, but his mind
is open. He's like the new mansion kind of a
thing in cinema. Right. He cares about his constituents.
Yes. That's it. He's going to vote for something
that makes sense for them. He doesn't care about
the company, the party line. No. I love it. All
of them need to be that way. I mean all of them.
Well, he handled the people from The View. He
manhandled them. Look at him. He looks like Lurch.
He doesn't care what he looks like. He's wearing
sweatpants and sweatshorts and hoodies and shit.
Yeah, to the point of inappropriate. Yeah, he
doesn't care. Yeah, I think that is a little
inappropriate. Oh, it's weird. He's wearing hoodies
to like these really dressed up. You know, it's
kind of silly, actually. But anyway, you think
he got manhandled by the view? No, I think. No,
no, no. He manhandled the view. He handled them
very well. Oh, yeah. He went in there and he
spoke his mind. And they even were like, well,
that's well said. And they had nowhere to go.
Right. They had nowhere to go. They were shocked.
Because they were accusing him. Are you going
to be a, you know, they didn't say rhino, but
are you going to be turning into a Republican?
A dino. And it was like, I think you can look
at my voting history. And a dino. You can look
at my voting history. Everything that I vote
for is Democrat. I'm not going to follow the
laser like a cat does with all these new topics
that are coming up. I'm going to focus on things
that are important. You know why? Because he
probably doesn't see himself as a career politician.
He was voted there to do a job, and he's focusing
on that job. And you realize by him doing the
things he's doing and voting the way he's voting,
the party's not going to support him. They're
not going to help him fundraise. They're not
going to help him. They're not going to give
him high committee commission. Well, Sinema mentioned
one a few times. Right. I know what you mean.
But that's why they do what they do. They cannot
not be in the party's favor because they won't
get certain appointments to certain high -profile
committees, and their career won't flourish.
And they hold that over their head. Right. You
joined all of your fellow Democrats and three
Republicans in voting against Pete Hegseth as
defense secretary. But you were a yes on Kristi
Noem, on Marco Rubio, and you've indicated you'll
vote in favor of other Trump picks like... Elise
Stefanik for UN ambassador. You've also taken
meetings with some of the most controversial
appointees. Really, all of them. The controversial
ones are the non -ones. So the controversial
ones are Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. Their hearings
are set for later this week. Do you know how
you're going to vote yet? Well, again, it's like
we, just like all of you, are going to watch
the hearings and see how things go. And I was
committed to having an open dialogue with anyone.
And I've played it straight. And that's the same
kind of rules that I play. And that's what I
extend to them. And I found that to be illuminating.
And I was able to develop a more full, informed
choice. And that's what I've been doing there.
Some were real easy, like Rubio. I mean, he's
incredibly qualified. there's other ones that
are going to be controversial and you're going
to see some really controversial ones coming
up this week. But now I can't say I refuse to
even spend some time to just hear them directly
from them, just the way I'm doing right now,
having a conversation. So, so that's what I've
decided and I haven't regretted it. I totally
so respect that. So respect that. And he mentioned
these hearings coming up. And so we got, no,
I'm already went through. Thanks Seth. Barely
made it. Barely went through. It took J .D. Vance.
Yes. That was beautiful. What were pubs? Switched
lines. Mitch McConnell. Mitch McConnell. Oh,
that's right. Get freaking out. Get out. Do you
realize he's not done until 2027? I'm like, really?
Are you serious? Did he say this was his last?
Yeah, he's not. He's not. You know what? It's
just these. It's nauseating. There are so many
different things that are going to start to come
to light. You know, just there. I'm talking about.
Did Kosh Patel get? He hasn't been nominated
yet. They have not started yet. So the ones coming
up this week are Gabbard, RFK Jr., and Patel.
And Patel's probably going to be the most contentious
one. They can't stand him. I saw that Deborah
Wasserman Schultz, or whatever her name is, asking
questions, basically calling RFK. a Nazi, an
anti -Semite. Right. Oh, come on. Because he
said that the coronavirus was engineered and
could target certain races. It probably could.
Jewish, black people. Right. You're considering
Jews a race. So she tied that all together. And
he's like, I did not say that. I did not say
that. I did not say that. Had the hearing started
for the RFK? Oh, I didn't even know that. Yes.
Oh, shit. I didn't watch any of that. There's
a reason why. You know, RFK also said, and you
guys are going to hate me saying this because
you're so sick of it, but RFK was like, and I'm
sick of you guys putting seed oils in the baby's
food formula. Yeah. Yeah, I think, I mean, it's
seed oils. Seed oils are bad. I never knew that.
Seed oils are bad. But I mean, they put it in
dried Similac. You know, the stuff you scoop
in and put in for your kids? It's probably a
consistency thing, I bet. Once it rehydralizes
or whatever the fuck it does. Yeah, I don't know.
It rehydrates. Anyways, it'll be interesting
to see how those hearings go. They're going to
be fireworks for sure. I have a hard time listening
to him. I'm sorry, but I do. I agree. It is tough.
It's tough. I sat there and watched that exchange,
and whenever he talked, I was like, God, it's
so hard to listen to. It is. And so his vocal
cords were paralyzed by some sort of virus? Is
that what that was? Yeah, he had some kind of
disease or virus or something like that. You've
got to give him credit for it. Yeah, I mean,
he keeps going forward, but it's just hard to
listen to. It is kind of painful. What do you
guys think about the release of the... Of the
MLK and the RFK. Spasmodic dysphonia. Yeah, what
is that anyway? Dedicated to finding answers
to rare voice conditions. I don't know. It's
a rare voice condition. Yeah, I know. Periodic
spasms. It's also known as laryngeal dystonia.
It breaks interruptions in the voice where the
voice goes into periodic spasms. Yeah, it's kind
of painful. His father, they're going to release
confidential records on JFK, on RFK, and MLK.
What do you guys think about that? I thought
they already released some of them because there's
some audio out there. I don't know if it's real
or not. I don't think they've released anything.
They haven't released anything yet. They have
45 days to do that. There's something that is
floating around. So it may be fake, but it has
to do with Lyndon making the order to kill Orwaka.
Yeah, that's definitely not true. That would
have been wildfire everywhere. Everybody's waiting
for the official document release. So I can't
imagine that's real. It's not actually of Lyndon
saying it. It's one of the guys that worked for
him taking the order to do it. Oh, right. Yeah,
I don't know. You know what's interesting, though,
is Trump said in his first term that he was going
to release all that stuff. He didn't. And he
didn't. And the reason why he said he didn't...
is because it would be too damaging to national
security or something like that. No, it was one
of... Somebody that worked for him said that.
He was a snake that's no longer with them. Oh,
Bill Burr. No, I actually read a quote from Trump
today that said that was the reason why he couldn't
release it. I'm like, well, what's different
now? Right. Like, why suddenly is the country
okay with it? He said it would be... What was
his quote? Maybe you can look it up. Mr. Producer,
but it was Trump's quote for why he didn't release
that sensitive information. Oh, was it Mike Pompeo?
That's exactly who it was. Mike Pompeo is the
one that told him not to. That's what it was.
So he was probably just following his advice,
but I know that Trump actually said something.
Because Mike Pompeo was... Not bragging, but
he was sharing the stories. It's like, well,
Trump came to me and asked. And I said no. And
he was like, no, he doesn't do it because there's
some people that are still alive and it wouldn't
be a good thing to release that. It would affect
their families. Well, apparently he doesn't feel
like that's a roadblock anymore. So we'll see
how that goes. Well, I mean, it's only fair.
I mean, RFK Jr. is there. You know, it's his
dad. What the hell, you know? And I know the
King family has asked to look at the files before
the rest of the public does. Well, that's the
other Kennedy. That's not JFK. It's the, by Sirhan
Sirhan, the other Kennedy that got shot. Bobby
Kennedy. That's Robert's dad. That's Robert's
dad. So it's his uncle? Yes. Yes. Yes. No, that's
Robert F. Kennedy's father. Is Bobby. Is Bobby.
Yes. Yeah, but JFK is his uncle. RFK is uncle.
Correct. But they're going to release JFK, RFK,
and MLK. Correct. So his father's information
is going to be released as well because he's
interested in knowing about it as well. Correct.
Correct. He thinks the CIA took him out too.
Right. And I don't know what the King family
thinks, but I tell you what, the FBI was brutal
to MLK. Well, Sirhan Sirhan was a Palestinian
who shot him, who shot RFK. Right. Yeah, I don't
know. You know, so I'm thinking what - Crazy
shit. Yeah, what could be so - What could be
the fallout from this? What's the worst case
scenario? So the FBI becomes embarrassed. The
CIA becomes embarrassed. Here's what the fallout
I think is going to happen is that there's going
to be a huge tide of, I hate saying Republicans,
but I think it's going to be a huge swing to
the Republican side. They're going to start realizing,
oh my God, MLK was a Republican? And they're
going to realize that. All right, well, who took
him out? Who was the deciding factor that did
that? Oh, do you mean Democrats were in charge
of KKK back then? You know, they were the ones
that were in the hoods. You think it'll damage
the Democrat Party? 100%. I think that's probably
why. Interesting. Well, who's the big switch?
Remember, they keep pulling that out. Well, the
Democrats of today used to be the Republicans.
Right, right, right. The Republicans now are
the Democrats back then who were the racists.
Right, right, right. That's so stupid. Whatever.
What the fuck, man? It's all silly. We can twist
it however we want to support ourselves. All
right, so Shirin Bashira Saran. Born in 44 is
the one that pulled the trigger. Oh, hold on.
Did he pull the trigger on MLK? It was Robert
F. Kennedy. Robert F. Kennedy. Oh, so he shot
Bobby. Correct. Correct. Yeah, right up to him
and shot him in the head. Right. Yeah, right.
You know, that didn't get a lot of publication.
I didn't see a whole lot of that. I didn't hear
a lot about that story. It happened in the, what,
70s? Big deal at the time. 60? Yeah. 68? 69.
69? No, no, no. 68. Went right up to him, whacked
him just like that. Boom. And what was the...
So was that a CIA operative? Well, I don't know.
That's probably what some folks may think is
going to come out, right? Yeah, if you talk to
RFK Jr., he thinks the CIA also walked up behind
him and whacked him from behind because from
the camera angle or from the shot angle from
Saran Saran, like... The bullet wounds don't
match up. He's got a whole 10 minutes on it on
some podcast. So same type of conspiracy for
JFK, right? Single bullet, multiple shooters.
There's another conspiracy that came out. I think
I sent you a link. Some guy talking about how
the attempt on Trump's life from the crooks.
I was going to say his name wrong. There was
a team behind him that actually shot him. That
the sniper that was on the roof that shot, allegedly
shot Crooks, didn't shoot him. There was a sniper
team farther back. That they shot him. Yeah.
So it wasn't the guy on the roof behind Trump.
Oh, yeah. Because the bullet went out the kid's
head, out the front of his head. And if he had
been shot from the opposite way, it would have
been the other way. So that was kind of interesting.
And they said that they were in the window behind
him. So I'd say, how the fuck did they not see
him? I know. It's so shady. So much is shady
about that. Hopefully we'll know more. They're
doing an investigation. But here's another interesting
swing on this. They said that the room in which
that sniper team was located, if you draw a line
from that room to where Crooks was and the dude
that got shot in the far right -hand bleachers,
it's a straight line. From... So it went through
a skull and killed a guy? I misspoke. What I'm
saying, it went from that window past Trump's
ear and killed that guy. If you draw a straight
line, it goes straight to that guy. And if you
draw a straight line from that guy to Trump to
crooks, they don't line up. No, that's not true.
I heard it initially. I heard that yesterday.
And it is interesting. So none of that's confirmed.
They're doing an investigation, hopefully. It
just brings all this weird shit. It's like, I
don't trust fucking anybody. It's going to turn
into another JFK conspiracy we're going to talk
about for the next fucking 60 years. Unless we
are freaking honest with the American public
and we give the damn facts. But when you line
up those angles, I mean, they were saying that
it was impossible for crooks to make that shot.
Who is they? Well... Again, it was on social
media. This guy, he was just bringing up the
angles and drawing lines on a computer with a
map, with a Google map, and said, this person
was here, this person was there, and these are
straight lines. See, and I saw the same thing,
a very slick 3D model, and they showed all the
seven or eight shots, and they showed his shot
missing Trump and killing that guy. So who knows?
You can produce anything you want and make it
look as real. I don't know. But, you know, the
nice thing is, you know, this did not happen
under Trump's watch. And if Trump is ripping
the Band -Aid off of, like, being truthful to
the American public from all the agencies, FBI,
CIA, Secret Service, then we should, in the next
four years, get an honest assessment on what
really happened. So I'm hopeful for that. I hope.
I hope. I do, too, you know. All right. Well,
you know, the— We kind of rushed through getting
our bourbons kind of pulled out today. We did.
I didn't really get a chance to read. Oh, my
God. I'm trying to get a hole up. Oh, God. That's
like an alligator. There's like juice came out
on that. Are you okay? I was excited. Drink,
drink, drink. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
we're going to take a break. All right, so we
got our official whiskey for the first half.
It is a Michter's bourbon. It's just a standard
Michter's you can find on the shelf. It is, I'll
tell you what, it's a Michter's US1 Kentucky
straight bourbon bottled at 91 .4 proof. It is
a small batch distilled in Kentucky in aged new
fire charred American white oak barrels. So,
before we dive into the tasting notes, let's
get a little swish and see here. Well, I know
on the nose, I wrote a couple things down before
I forgot what I thought. I was picking up some
cinnamon, some baking spices, and some vanilla.
On the nose? Absolutely. Yep. And it's very,
there's a sweetness to it. Very, very sweet.
I know you're going to hate it, but stone fruit.
I totally taste like the cherries and the peaches.
I taste cherries. There's definitely stone fruit
in there. Rich caramel and vanilla. Yeah. I can
pick all that up. This has always been a really
good one. Yeah, this is really good. This is
always, we've always liked this. It's very earthy,
mellow, super, it's got a very, it's got kind
of the finish there. It's got a little spice
on the end, just a little spice. Tiny, tiny bit
of burn. Yeah. Just a little. But not obnoxious
at all. A little clove at the very end. Yeah.
I would pick this up again. Like when I finish
one of my bottles downstairs, I would add a Michter's
to it. Yeah, I agree. Is this one hard to get?
No. It's on the shelf all the time. Okay. And
I know it's very respected. Oh, yeah. Like other
people I talk to, they're like, oh, Michter's.
Oh, yeah. It's good. I think it's generally very
well respected. We just finished a bottle. This
is like our fourth pour, third, fourth pour.
And we've always liked it. Yeah. Didn't we have,
oh my God, that's when Stan was here. I had Michter's
10. Yeah, we had Michter's 10. That was delicious.
Oh, that was amazing. We drank the entire bottle.
We dropped the bomb on that one. Yeah, that was
good. All right, I don't know what we're doing
with these rankings, but I'm going to pull my
little sheet out here. Have you showed our producer
where they're at? What was the proof? I will
show him right now. 91. 91, all right. For a
90 proofer, now I believe. Victor's 10 was also
in the 90s. 91 .4. 91 .4. I'm going to give this
a 7 .8 for me. I'm going to go with 7 .4. Very
respectable. And it's nice that it's one that's
easy to find. I mean, that's generally a difficult
thing to do sometimes. I'm going to match Jeff
with a 7 .8. All right. All righty. So, Jeff,
just for the record, I wrote down like 2024 March,
Booker's, whatever date that was, and then I
got O slash E. O slash E. First. O slash E. Over,
under. No. No, wrong letters. It's OU. Overeven.
Overeven. O. Over easy. It looks like furs or
fins. Oak and Eden? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's
probably what it is. That's probably what it
is. Yeah. Probably not over easy. Talking eggs.
Yeah. Good call. Good call, Jeff. Yeah. Oh, I
really like this. This picture is a sweetness.
It hit really good tonight for some reason. Yeah.
It did. Yeah. I enjoyed it because it wasn't
too hot. Right. It's just like something you
can sit there and chill. Again, it's hard for
someone like me who's on the cusp of accepting
that I'm an alcoholic. I think. And it's because
it's so easy to drink, I can totally want to
drink another one. Great. So I'm really trying
to behave. Well, there's none left, so you can't
drink. Well, it doesn't matter. I mean, I still
feel it. There's 200 other bourbons. He could
find something. Good job for behaving, Jeff.
I mean, Sean, we're believing in you. You know
what's weird? Seeing me without the pimple screen?
I've got a freaking nose pimple. And every time
I bump the microphone, it's like, ow, ow, ow.
It's funny you say that. I have a nose pimple.
It's higher up on my nose, and I think it's from
the CPAP machine. Could be. On my nose cup. It's
just a clogged pore is all a pimple is. I just
popped that bad boy and moved on with life. I
did. Squirted everywhere. I was going somewhere
with this, though. I got a serious pimple throw.
My brother, I talked to him today. So I made
a few phone calls before I got here because.
I was going through some stuff, and I thought
my Uncle Gary. Uncle Gary's old. He's about to
die. My other Uncle Clyde, he's old. I mean,
they're old. We're at that point where people
are starting to die. They're not old. They're
in their 70s. They're just not fantastical in
health right now. And so we're kind of concerned,
so we're trying to plan something. But I talked
to my brother. My brother has gout right now.
What the hell? Yeah, and his foot is absolutely
miserable. Gout's a real thing. Yeah, I've heard
it. It's horrible. It's like crystals in your
veins down there. He's like, dude, I couldn't
even put a blanket over my feet. They had to
sit out in the open. It's like, man, he's miserable,
miserable, miserable. First half of the podcast,
