could have paid for all of our stash. That's
what we should do. We should buy unicorns and
rare ones and never try them and sell them. Well,
the secondary market is really starting to crater.
Is it really? Yeah. Well, I'm excited to talk
about this one. It'll be later, of course. A
couple more. Let me see. I get a little smell
here. This one is really good. It really is.
It's unique. So I remember I get a phone call
from Stan from Total Wine. Hey, I need you to
come on down here to Total Wine to pick something
up. I was like, well, what's going on there?
He's like, I've got a couple things here. Just
hurry. I was like, I'm away. Yeah, that's when
you send out the emergency alert. Who is closest
to Total Wine? Jeff, are you circling? Yeah,
Jeff. I was going to say. Well, yes, I am. Yeah,
I'm still circling, guys. Anything? Anything?
Have you heard anything? I have to get gas here
in a minute. Well, I tell you what. So unbeknownst
to me, I bought that bottle. And I bought his
bottle. That's what I was going at. I bought
his bottle and mine. And he never paid me for
the freaking bottle. Really? And I was like,
fuck, dude. This is Stan. Stan, dickhead. But
it all worked out because he picked up the bottle
of Hirsch. At Sips. Yeah, they're about the same
price. So I was like, all right, I'll take that.
And he's had the bottle for, what, a month and
a half now? And I'm like, God damn it, Stan.
Damn it, Archer. So anyways, he's going to be
at Heather's party. Heather, our guest that was
here about four weeks ago at our party where
we had the wine, the wine tasting. Good, good,
good. So her birthday's coming up. Stan's going
to bring that bottle with him, and I'm going
to put it in a safe spot. Actually, you know
what? I'm going to tell him not to bring it.
Are you going to keister it? No, actually, I'm
going to tell him not to bring it. Because if
we're going to be going to the Revel and stuff
like that, the last thing I need to do is open
that bottle up. Right. And then leave it in the
Uber or leave it somewhere. Or you guys finish
it. Oh. Yeah. Challenge accepted. Someone drugged
me. Damn it. I got roofied. I got, Sean, we won't
even have to revel yet. Oh, okay. Where are we
at? Are we broken at Jeff's house that did a
podcast? The Uber driver roofied me. Second half
of the podcast, February 18th. It's Dudes Like
Us. I'm Sean. I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff. And thank
you, Mr. Producer. Chuck, behind the scenes.
Speaking of Uber, did you see that news story
where the Uber driver or Lyft driver told this
horrendously fat? lady oh no you can't get in
my car you're too big i think she's a rapper
so she's a famous person she's a yeah she's a
huge big fat rapper and the guy's like yeah you're
not getting in my car oh no you won't fit so
she made a big stink about it she tried to try
to sue uber she went on there it is she went
on a podcast oh she's huge 500 pounds They were
like, she tries to sit down in a chair. She's
like, y 'all got something else I could sit on?
So they rolled over a fucking couch. Can you
imagine her, like we have a love chair. So this.
That's good. I don't think that's her voice.
Well, mute it because it may show her. I want
Paul to check her out. She's just oversized.
She's more than oversized. If it's 500 pounds,
that's oversized. Yeah, one of her, I mean, it
would take like, she doesn't use toilet paper.
It's like Scott Towles. And apparently, if this
is the same story, he got fired. Is that what
happened? I don't think so. I don't think so.
It was warranted to because she was heavy. Well,
I mean, at the end of the day, you know, I think.
They're going to lose. In fact, I think that
the legal counselor pulled out because it was
due to that podcast that she got on, and they
required bringing over a – she accepted a larger
chair. Right. And they were like – for some reason,
they were kind of like, all right, so that was
okay for them to bring out an extra special chair
for you. But when the driver of the Uber car
says – He didn't have any options. Yeah, I was
like, dude, I mean, what do you want me to do?
There's just simply – And it wasn't that she
couldn't fit back there. It was just that she
was too heavy. Oh, shit. Too heavy. She tried
getting back there. She needs to get the black
XL, Uber black XL or whatever. Like a minivan
where you just kind of roll it. Well, that or
an SUV or something like that, right? A dually?
Pull up a picture of that dank Demos or whatever
her name was. Is that it? That's the lady? so
i was getting ready for um my cousin's whatever
she's sitting in a sofa right now order me a
lift you know it's like and you want to lift
all the time yes i do as i'm walking to the car
he looking funny doors getting locked i'm just
like hell you ain't gonna let me in your car
i'm like for real so i put my camera out And
it's like, why are you not letting me in your
car? Because you'll break my car. That's what
he was on. Because the look at me, I've seen
that look before. That's how that happened. This
is the first time this has ever happened. Pull
up a picture of her. I want Paul to see it. You
were really gung -ho about it. Yeah, you're really
into this. I saw her. There she is. No, I'm good.
It's seismic. Oh, come on. Come on. This is.
That's just silly. This is gratuitous. I don't,
this is, I mean, her dimples have dimples. How
do you look at yourself? I've seen that blue
one where she's sitting like in the back of a
truck. I mean, she's a rapper? Yeah, she's a
rapper. I mean, she has a butt in the front of
her. And at the knees. I feel bad because they're,
is it a mental disorder? Is it genetics? It's
probably part of her shtick, right? Yeah, but
it's not just that. And it's not just black people.
It's a culture of people that just can sit there.
I mean, look, we're big guys. We're not skinny,
you know? I mean, Paul's working on it, you know?
No, I plateaued. But we're nowhere near that.
That's obese, and then it's like they just gave
up. Well, it's a mental, because have you ever
watched that 600 -pound life? No. Where they
go and see the doctor to try to get him to lose
weight and then do the thumb stomach and then
do the skin surgery and all that to lose the
weight. These people have mental, how they cope
is eating. Yeah. So they just eat and eat, and
there's always someone that's an enabler who
gives it to them because they can't get it themselves.
Because they're in their bed. They can't move.
Oh, I got you. For the most part, some of them
can, but most of them, they don't go driving
and get their food and shit like that. People
bring it to them. Right. So there's usually an
enabler, and these people have mental problems,
so they have to get through the mental problem.
Oh, yeah. Of, I'm eating to make me feel good.
Sure. Kind of a thing. But these people, I mean,
some of them do it, and some of them don't. You
know, they're just, it's sad. I mean, I would
imagine it's not unlike other addictions, right?
I mean, there's a lot of destructive addictions,
right? So, I mean, none of them, I mean, I shouldn't
say none of them, but... You know, this one's
horrible for your health, right? It's going to
definitely lead to death, a premature death.
Well, there's also. They can't get that under
control. Yeah. Well, there's also been a big
push over the last four or five years of this
whole body positivity thing. Yeah. Right. Where
fat is beautiful. And I'm not saying it's ugly
or whatever, but it's unhealthy. Unhealthy. That's
the key. And how dare you tell me this and I'm
fat. Well, you are and it's unhealthy and you're
not going to live very long. Right. You're going
to have health complications, no question about
it. Right. And it's not that they're ugly. They're
just heavy. Well, you shouldn't be promoting
it as this is what you should look like. Right.
And I blame that on the Sports Illustrated, where
they have a version of that. Well, that and Vogue
and all those magazines. Look, heavy people need
love, too. So it's not that we're slamming heavy
people, because we fit in that genre, sort of.
We do. But it's just healthy life choices. Yeah,
but I think, okay, so there's a difference, right?
I mean, there is, you can be heavy and still
be, you can be heavier, I should say, heavier
and still be healthy. But when you're getting
to that degree, there's no healthy. Five, six,
seven to 800 pounds. Right, and I don't know
what that cutoff is. I mean, they have that chart
where that, you know, you're, oh my God, I'm
in the obese. You know what I mean? I'm in the
obese. Technically, probably Sean and I are morbidly
obese. Really? Because it's BMI. Okay. Because
it looks at your height and a couple of things
that basically, and I've called this out on a,
because I was on a phone call with some health
coach or something like that. Right. That they
said, well, you need to go see a health coach.
He's like, well, you know, technically you're
this. I was like, so basically what you're telling
me, I'm six foot one. broad shoulders, I've got
muscle, and because I've got some of this stuff,
you're calling me obese. Right. And he goes,
yeah, the BMI is not real accurate. We try not
to go by that anymore. Sure. All right, so let's
see here. If you're two, okay, so I'm 6 '1",
and I weigh 215 pounds, so that puts me as overweight.
I'll be damned. Yeah. Motherfucker. So I'm right
now at 250. I'd be obese. So we're saying I'm
supposed to be, what's the biggest green there
is? 180? Yeah. For 6 '1"? No. No. If I was 180,
I'd look like that. I'd look skinny. I'd look
like shit. Yeah. That's bullshit. Yep. I call
bullshit. I'm going for the red. What's the red?
I'm going up. So what's the lowest red for 6
'1"? 6 '1". 300. That's my goal. Fuck it. Good
Lord. So if you're 6 '1", let me see. How does
that work? Where's the size? 6 '1". Weight along
the top. I'm 6 '1". Like I said, 250, which puts
me right there. I'm not quite in the middle.
You're orange. I'm 30. Yeah, I'm in the orange.
I'm orange, too. What weight do I need to be?
No, I'm yellow. I'm yellow. How tall are you?
I'm 6 '0". You need to be 180 pounds. To be in
the healthy range. I've never been 180. Right,
so you're very unhealthy. Well, you were when
you were probably a freshman in high school.
So you could be 220 and be in the yellow, but
as soon as you hit 230, you're obese. There's
a difference between overweight and obese, and
then you're severely obese if you're in the red.
Yeah. I call bullshit on this. I call bullshit.
The BMI is... All it looks like is your height
and your weight. It doesn't take into any other
considerations. Like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Right.
He was 6 '1", 300 pounds. Solid muscle. Solid
muscle, yeah. He'd be severely obese. So there
needs to be a chisel factor. That's what I mean.
Because I'm a pretty high chisel factor. Yeah,
you're highly chiseled. Yeah. A high chisel factor.
So where does that put me? That's what I mean.
It doesn't account for muscle mass. Some people
have bigger bones. Yeah. The whole nine yards.
It's bullshit. And what if you have long, heavy
arms? Yeah. Right? Like an elephant. And other
heavy appendages. Or just a huge penis. We don't
have to talk about it. But a huge penis. Yeah,
exactly. And that puts me into a beast category?
Uh -uh. I'm just hung like an elephant, man.
Fuck you. That's 30 pounds right there, right?
At least. At least I have to get oversized crotch
pants. Unbelievable. What is that? Yeah, my wheel's
off. I retract. Yeah, listen, thank you. Thank
you, yeah. All right, let's edit all this out.
No, no, no, that's staying. That's staying. I'll
be sending that to you. Great. And I'll say it's
Sean. We need to add the little bell in the background.
Ding, ding, ding, shame. Ding, ding, ding, shame.
Stop, stop. For the love of God. All right. So
anyway, we have a February 18th occasion like
we had this week on Monday was President's Day,
right? Correct. We did. So that used to be George
Washington's birthday and they changed it to
President's Day. Well, it used to be. I remember
when I was in school, it used to be called Washington's
birthday. That's what I'm saying. They've changed
it to President's Day. Why? They wanted to extend.
I don't know. So Donald Trump put out something,
or at least the White House put out something.
I'm going to read it. I'll try to read through
it quick. Oh, this is what we thought that AI
created. Well, maybe. Well, they put out several
different things. This one is, today our nation
commemorates the father of our country, the patriarch
of our freedom, a timeless exemplar of valor
and virtue, the first president of the United
States, George Washington. On Washington's birthday,
we honor this heroic legacy and steadfast love
of country. I'm not going to read this whole
thing. I think they should have said, do this
in the style of Penthouse letters. Have you guys
watched Turn? Washington spies. Hold on. Hold
on. Stop. Hold on. So I want to apologize. So
at the very end here, President Washington's
unflinching devotion to the common good, he continues
to give him props. Now, therefore, I, Donald
J. Trump. President of the United States of America,
by virtue of the authority vested in me by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States,
do hereby proclaim February 17th, 2025 as a reserved
holiday commemorating George Washington's birthday.
So he put it back on the clock. I think he put
it back on there. I didn't hear anything about
that at all in the news. I didn't either. They
just ignored it. They ignored him and his executive
order. If you're looking for a really good historical
program, watch this turn, Washington Spies. There
are about four. Hamilton? No. Did I say Hamilton?
No, you did not. No, you said Bridgerton. Oh,
Bridgerton. No, turn, Washington Spies. It's
really, really good. It's during the Revolutionary
War, obviously, right? Hamilton, Bridgerton.
Anyway. We're such jackasses. Jump on whatever
he's talking about, right? Well, then I question
myself. Did I say Hamilton? You did. Turn is
the name. Turn Washington Spies. And what is
this on? AMC. It was on AMC. It's done now. They
concluded it's four or five seasons. It's well
done. Okay. It's very well done. Turn. Yeah.
So is it on? Can I find it somewhere? Yeah. Probably.
A Long Island farmer bands together a group of
childhood. Something. You can't read anymore.
Hey, Austin. Yeah. Childhood friends. And you
were so close. Who turned the tide in America's
fight for independence. Yeah, you're just about
to finish the punchline and you're like, oh,
it's gone now. It scrolled away. But it's good.
But Washington is in this. And the guy who plays
Washington, I think, I make fun of him when he
talks because it's over the top. Over top Britishy.
No, it's... I don't know. That's Benedict Arnold
right there. Nice. So Benedict Arnold's in this.
Let's see if we hear some language. Yeah, here
we go. Eventually. Hello? Hey, Mr. Shippen. Your
home is impressive. Is that George Washington?
I want to assure you that this family will be
safe here. I will post cards until public emotions
die down, as they always do. How might we best
thank you, sir? I want to start talking. You
should. How might we best thank you? I think
we all should. I do declare. Hold on. Hold on.
So he looks at him. It's Benedict Arnold. How
may I thank you? He's looking at his daughter.
Your letters sustained me through a dark time.
Nice hair. I don't remember who that was. That's
so much right. That's got hot daughters. Yes.
Several of them. And he wants the hot daughter.
Yes. And resume more friendships. Ooh. Yes. Hello,
Penelope. Come over here. He's got a puffy face.
Anyway, I recommend it. If you like the history
and the period type thing, it's well done. Yeah,
cool. So the TV series was 2014 to 2017. It's
available somewhere. AMC puts it out, or at least
did. AMC. I think it's on Amazon. I think we
watched it on Amazon at the time, my wife and
I. I look it up. I love stuff like that. Me too.
I love historical drama. What do they call that?
Period pieces. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, period
pieces. That's really good. Very nice. Is there
any nudity? No nudity. It's good violence. That's
okay. No butts? No butts. Oh, you like butts?
No. Interesting. No, not even doing butts. That's
good. Sometimes it's a little over the top when
you see some of that stuff. How about blood?
Dude, nowadays. Yeah, there's some shootings.
Nowadays, it's soft porn. for a lot of the shows
that we're like, whoa, what the hell? It's crazy.
It's on Netflix. I don't know if it's still out
there, but my brother was telling me. I went
to go see my brother a couple years ago, and
he was like, oh, dude, there's soft porn on freaking
Netflix. I was like, get out of here. Absolutely.
And he was like, no, man, look. He pulls out
his phone, pulls out one movie on Netflix, and
one of the first scenes you see is a penis. Right.
I remember that. He pulled it up, and it was
some dude getting... Easy. Easy. Choose words
wisely. It may have been a handjob or a blowjob.
We said easy. What was that called? It's called
a handjob. No, the name of the movie. Blowjob.
That's it. Debbie does Dallas. It's called blowjob?
It's behind the green door. No. Is it door color?
Green door. Behind the green door. You never
heard of that one? Oh, boy. Oh. So walk us through
this exposure. I've never seen it, but that's
one of the big ones. But you know it's green.
I heard it's bad. I heard it's green as well.
They served juice there. He dehydrated. He knows
all the actors in it, but he's never seen it.
Joseph and Monica. And Joan and Betsy. Oh, it's
his birthday today. It was. Oh, but I've never
seen it. Behind the green door. The beautiful
woman abducted initiated a live sex act on a
private stage. Participating in lesbianism. Go
on. Interracial sex. Really? And public orgy.
Hmm. Interracial sex. What does that mean? Is
that like with an Asian dude? Well, it says African
stud. Oh, God. So he's reading the script. He's
reading the script. He's like, I would like to
try out for African stud. Oh, well, Michael Wood
will step on it, please. Oh, wow. Is that his
name? Johnny Keys. Why don't we try to move on
from this topic that we strangely stumbled on?
We got a boy. Wow. All right. So happy birthday,
George Washington. How about a day in history?
You know what? I was driving there, but I still
want to. go back and talk about how profound
it was. I always wondered why they took George
Washington Day out because they had Abraham Lincoln.
I remember there was Abraham Lincoln Day and
then there was George Washington Day and then
they just disappeared. It became President's
Day. That's how they did it. There were too many
holidays, maybe, and they were like, you know
what? Why don't we just combine them all into
President's Day on George Washington's birthday?
That's probably exactly why they did it. Because
they were getting grief for not giving people
off every single one of the birthdays. What about
this president? Or what about that president?
Right. What about James Polk? What about Hoover?
I mean, they could still have - Garfield. Garfield.
Good one. President's Day wrapped up in George
Washington's Day, but it's always good. He was
the first one. He was the first general. He was
the one, what they call him, the big red -headed
dude that was just some big tall galoot taking,
you know, listening to anybody's - Did he have
red hair? George Gray? That's what I understand.
I mean, he wore the wig, but for what I understood,
he was a redhead. I didn't know that. I didn't
know that. We might have to fact check that.
Do they have color pictures? They do. Yeah. Or
is it just hearsay? No, it was stenciled on his
wood teeth. General George, here, hold that.
You know, the big. You got to hold it for 10
seconds. You know, the big, you know, where he's
behind the thing with the little shroud, the
cloth over his head. It's like gunpowder. Boom.
It fumes, blows real quick. George Washington
jumps on the ground. He's got post -traumatic
stress syndrome, and he's like, oh, my God, I
thought I'd get shot at. Well, that was the Western
stuff. Like, they have, you know, pictures of
Billy the Kid. Oh, yeah. They shoot pictures
of the dead people as well. Yeah. I mean, that's
when they first started having those cameras,
right? You know, there was some creepy shit,
too, man. You see these family portraits, and
you got these kids that are like, there's like
probably six kids lined up, and the one on the
end is dead. Yeah. And you're like, what the
fuck, man? What? They would take pictures of
their deceased family members. Yeah. What? Yeah,
we've never heard of this. We got an opportunity
to take a picture. I don't care if they're dead.
Pull them up. Oh, yeah, they take pictures with
their deceased family member, and they're just
sitting there. So they dig them up for this?
No, it's before they get buried. They dress them
up. Pull up a picture before they get buried.
Family member, family photo, I guess family photo
with member dead, old. Yeah. I don't know. Are
you a prompt engineer? Yeah. Old family dead.
All right. Black and white. There you go. There's
one down right there. Well, that one, I guess,
is one right there. Like, the girl on the left,
she's dead. Well, they just prop her up? Yes.
Yeah. They have a stick or something in her.
Like, the lady's dead. What? There's the parents.
Oh, that is crazy. It's kind of creepy, but it's
kind of the sign of the times, you know? Loved
ones who are already dead. Haunting Victorian
family photos show loved ones who are already
dead. Yeah, it was a big thing back then. It's
all about opportunity. Look at that. Oh, God.
Two babies in a coffin. You know, it's amazing
how often babies and kids, young kids die. It
was a thing. That's why they had such big families.
Yeah, it was a thing. There's a family history
book that we have in our family on my mom's side.
And she talks about how they had like eight kids
and like three of the kids died. And one of them
died horrifically because they went up to the
stove and grabbed a pan that was filled with
hot water, boiling water, and scalded them to
death. Damn. You know, it's just like people
die, you know. I hear that song playing in the
background. Dumb ways to die. There is so many
ways that these kids, you know, fallen down and,
you know, they didn't have medicines back then.
No. And, I mean, they just got, you know, they
got cut or they got infected. They got bacteria,
viruses. I mean, they just, nothing could help
them. God, look at that one. Like the whole family
is dead in the thing down there. Oh, go one more
down. Yeah, one more, right there. Right to the
right. To the right, yeah. So they're all laying
in bed. They're all dead. Look, they look like
the mom was beat up, punched in the face, the
dad's got a hole in his head. Oh, my gosh. That's
horrible. They put them in a bed, the whole family.
Dressed them up. I mean, there's something to
be said about them trying to capture the moment.
To them, it wasn't morbid. To their legacy, I
guess. You know, I mean, when you go out and
you don't have anything, and let's say they leave
a piece of property or they leave some horses,
some chickens, you know, it's like, all right,
well, look, all of this is going to be donated
to the system. But the least we can do is capture
the history of what they are. Yeah. You know,
we're going to capitalize off of their deaths.
Well, at least they didn't do what the pharaohs
did, which is like. Bury them in their tomb alive?
Everybody died. Like all the slaves. They killed
all the slaves. All the animals. The entire circle
that the pharaoh had went with them, including
the ship. You know what I mean? And they buried
everything. So did they kill them or did they
just die in there? Oh, I think they killed them
because they had to embalm them. Did they pull
their brains out of their nose? Yeah, they embalmed
them. Correct. That was like the Egyptian burial.
That's called mummification. That's so crazy.
I wonder how they killed them. How they euthanized
them. Probably that cow thing. Yeah, cow prop.
Pissed him to the forehead. I don't know. Do
they make a noise? I would. Shit, man. I don't
know. Oh, you would make a noise. You'd be like,
oh, fuck. Fuck, dude. I wouldn't let him do it.
I'd run. If I knew what was coming, I'm like,
fuck it. They're going to kill me anyway. I'm
going to try to get out of here. You know? Shit.
We'll kill you if you run. We'll kill you if
I stay. But I don't think it was that way. I
think if you served the pharaoh and the pharaoh
is going to the afterlife, it was a tremendous
honor to go with him. It wasn't like they were
chasing them down and killing them. They all
lined up. They all lined up and they're like,
yes, we can't wait to go with our Pharaoh. Was
that true or that was what was expected? I don't
think that's true at all. I think both. I think
they were like, yeah, hey, Jamal Javid. No, I'm
not going to fucking go. I'm going to take my
camel. I'm heading over to Frosty and I'm going
to go eat a Egyptian pie. He's like, bro, you
got no choice. No, no, no, no. My mom's calling
me. I got to go. No, I mean, think about it.
Everything was centered around the afterlife.
How glorious the afterlife is. Whatever. That's
so stupid. So I think they were honored to do
it. I mean, if you were chosen, I'm sure other
people were like, oh, I wish I was going. It's
crazy because I just wish we knew more about
that era. There's just so much we don't know.
Do we really want to scratch the surface? There's
so much we don't know. So many skulls. So many
crystals. Crystal skulls. Regardless, I mean,
were they the actual people that built them or
were they just occupiers? Well, have you heard
of the lost land up in the Arctic that the Russians
say they come from? Hyperborea? No. Have you
heard of that? Do share. Well, supposedly it's
- Sounds like a drink. Hyperborea. It's an actual
thing. Is that the name of our bourbon? Hyperborea.
Yeah. It's a land in the Arctic Circle. Grief
mythology. Yeah, that is apparently really big
in the Russian belief system. Like myth, mythology,
lore. Yeah, that they, the reason I know about
it is I'm reading a book right now, and I think
you should read it as well, Sean. It's that Sigma
Force shit that I think you'd get into. But they
just discovered it and there's pyramids and houses
and all kinds of shit. They literally did find
it. Well, in the book. Okay. So whether they
found it in real life or not, I don't believe
so. But it's one of these mythical things. But,
you know, they also talk about the difficulties
of traveling up there. And it's one of the least
explored areas on the earth. It's pretty inhospitable.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it's. Very difficult to
do, plus the magnetic issues you have up there
cause a lot of problems with radars and shit.
There's some areas in Russia, perhaps in that
region, where you get lethargic and dizzy walking
in the area due to whatever. I don't even know.
Some ether that fucks with your equilibrium.
Some alien ray. No, I don't think it's anything
like that. Who knows what it is? It could be
a magnet. It could be anything. I mean, we don't
know anything. We're just fucking idiots. It
could be durian. I don't know what it is, but
the fact is that there are people that walk through
this area and they become lethargic. They throw
up. It's that region. It could be radioactivity.
Who knows? I think some of it may be magnetism
as well because that's a big part of what they're...
discussing this book is is the magnetism of that
whole area yeah and the they found a what where
they built the city was basically made out of
what they called lodite or something like that
sigma four sigma force they actually walk they
build a whole room out of this magazine they
walked in there and they felt kind of that right
right anyway they were affected i find it incredibly
interesting because uh i've never heard of this
but before hyperborea and uh the book goes into
great detail of what it is. You're going into
the deep catacombs underneath Moscow. It has
to do with the Roman Catholic Church, the whole
nine yards. Okay, so this is fiction, and it's
based on present day. Present day, though. Present
day, but it's based on real shit. But he makes
part of it up at the same time. Right, right,
right. He's making a, yeah, he's weaving a story
into the myth. Like they actually discovered
that, I don't think it's ever been discovered
yet, in the book they find it, right? Okay. So,
That's cool. But it's real. You know, the books,
you know, the golden library. You don't have
to read it. The golden library of Catherine the
Great is a real thing. Right. That, you know,
Ivan the Terrible buried because, you know, he
didn't want anyone to find this hyperborea because
of whatever, you know. Yeah, no, that's cool.
I don't go into the book. But, you know, it's
fact because it made me think of him, John, because,
you know, there's pyramids and. These people...
Yeah, you love all that kind of shit. And they
talk about... It's because it's real. And they
talk about ancient technology that was lost.
Right. Well, how did they build this? How did
they do all this stuff? Yeah. You know, we've
talked about that before, you know, just because,
you know, they don't know how to do a computer
doesn't mean these people were dumb and didn't
have different kind of tools. Right. Did they
have white walkers there? They had the wall.
They had... No, they did not. Yeah, but I've
got dragonglass, so... I'll take on those White
Walkers. There you go. Which is just, what is
that, Vulcan glass? No, Vulcan is from Star Wars.
No, it's Obsidian. It's Obsidian. I guess so.
Obsidian, yeah. It's dragon glass. It comes from
the volcano where the dragons were. Yes, it's
called Vulcan glass or Obsidian. Which Vulcan
glass are you talking about? You Vulcan talking
to me? I think Spock should do that. Good Lord.
That's cool. Yeah, I'm super interested. I'll
take it. Can you check that out from the public
library? Yeah, that's actually the last book
he wrote. So that's the last book of the series.
There's like 25 in the series you need to read
before that one. Interesting. They're all very
interesting. And the series is called Sigma Force.
No, that's the group he writes about. It's by
James Rollins is the author. And they all have
different names. This one's called Archangel.
I do need to write this down. And I need to write
down the fact that you do this library thing
because it's super smart. And you can do it at
Kindle. On the Kindle, yeah. Yeah. And apparently,
Amazon is making a TV series out of this book.
Or they're trying to. So, anyway. All right.
You said it was James Rollins. James Rollins.
And they've pulled up a map up there of that
region. You know, they've got old maps of Antarctica
as well, you know, of. Where you have ships and
green and trees on a, you know, how long ago
was that map made? And we don't know. Right.
But, you know, it was, in fact, where can you
find those maps? It's amazing how all that shit
just magically disappears. You know, some collector
buys it under the black market. It just kind
of goes away. Falls into the ether and they're
like, yeah, it's mine now. No one's going to
know. Or does somebody know? I mean. Is there
the cabal that knows all this shit? That is a
very unknown area of the map. Okay, so is that
a current map that you're showing right there?
Or is that like an old one? That's the Scandinavian
area. Okay, can you zoom out? Is there a way
to go to... Because I would love to see literally
what's... You know, we think of the North Pole
as just kind of this nebulous... So that's, okay.
Well, that's Finland and Russia. That's Scandinavia,
which is Finland, Sweden, and Norway. Yep. And
then there's above. You need to go farther north.
North of that. That's not the Arctic Circle.
Yeah, right there. That's moving up from Zemla.
All these islands up there, right? God, that's
got to be cold as shit up there. Yeah, well,
it gets colder. Is that Greenland right there?
There's Greenland. Interesting. So it's amazing
how high that is up there. So where's the North
Pole? I know. I don't see it. Weird. Are they
saying it's all gone now? It's all melted. The
whole thing's gone. Well, there isn't a, I don't
think, is there technically a North Pole? I mean,
like a physical feature? I don't think there
is. Well, there's no land. Yeah, I didn't think
there was. The South Pole there is. Antarctica
has land, but North Pole does not. It's all ice.
I didn't think so. Right there. There it is in
the middle of the water. And it's possible based
on that aerial photo there that some of those
illustrations, what do they call that, topography?
Right. Is, you know, that the ocean has elevated
enough to where it covered all those land pieces
up. Well, that also was in the book that at one
time this land used to be above water. Right?
Kind of a thing. That's when everyone can find
it now. So that's why the scientists out there,
it's argumentative because some of them are saying,
all right, well, the water is coming back and
forth from freezing, and then it rises up out
of the water, which allows the ocean to drop
in elevation. But there are some scientists that
are saying, well, the water is coming from deep
in the earth, and so it just recedes back into
the earth. And it gets pushed back out for unknown
reasons. So that's the reason why some of the
elevation is happening of the water, the ocean
water. What do they call it? Ocean table? Sea
level. Sea level. Thank you, Mr. Producer. Ocean
table. There's a struggle in there. It's very
interesting. When you look at the North Pole
straight on on a map, I mean, we never look at
it that way. You know what I mean? We always
just kind of, it's kind of out of sight at the
top. But when you... When you rotate the map
looking straight down on it, it's weird looking.
Yeah, it's kind of like looking at a booby. Not
where it came to mind. It's just, you know, get
a close look at it. You're like, that is such
an odd feature. Like the areola? It's my fault,
Paul. I did that. You did that. You know, and
it also, you know, it kind of ties into why Greenland
has been so talked about because that is so close
to the North Pole and it's... Well, that's a
highly contested area right now because Russia
wants it, China wants it, the U .S. wants it.
Because it has access, it's got close access
to the North Pole. No, it's because it's a segue
to get to the United States. Well, it's a northern
passage for boat travel. But also, if you're
able to find an island and this new island no
one's ever found, Russia could go put their plan
on and claim it. Now their boundaries have just
got extended hundreds of miles out of the ocean.
This is now Russia, right? So that's another
thing. Well, and they're talking about putting
missile defense in Greenland, which totally protects
the entire North America. I mean, Trump has his
way. I mean, we'll be co -partners with both
Canada and Greenland. And I'm not necessarily
against it. And Denmark. You know, well. Well,
Denmark, I want to say owns it, but it's part
of Denmark now. It is. Which is ridiculous, right?
That's totally just abstract colonialism. Like,
they should have no claim to Greenland. They
should 100 % be independent. Yeah, it's kind
of like, you know, it's like we go to Denmark
and be like, you know what? We're taking Greenland.
What are you going to do about it? Right. Bitch.
And we would never do that, but you know what
I mean. It's like a perfect example is like Great
Britain still thinking or still owning the Falkland
Islands. Which Falkland Islands are you talking
about? Right. Falkland around. You know what
I mean? I mean, it's so ridiculous that a series
of islands off the coast of Argentina that Great
Britain should have any claim to that whatsoever.
Well, they just turned over Hong Kong. Right.
Exactly. Decade ago or whatever that was? Right.
I mean, seriously. Now China's going after Taiwan,
which will cause a huge issue with our commerce,
really. If you think about it, Taiwan's one of
our major manufacturers of the integrated circuit
and all that shit. I get confused about Taiwan.
Go to Taiwan and zoom out of it. It's an island
off the coast of China, yes? Yes. Okay. All right.
There it is. Okay. But that's not the same analogy.
Taiwan is independently owned. They are independent
or they want to be independent. It's not like
Portugal owns Taiwan. Was Taiwan ever a part
of China, just like Ukraine used to be a part
of Russia? I don't know if Taiwan emancipated.
What say you, producer? I don't think it was
the capital at one time of China. You think Taiwan
was the capital? Officially, the Republic of
China is a country in East Asia. Interesting.
It couldn't have been. The mainland would have
had the capital all along, but I don't know.
Why would I know? You know what I mean? But there's
other islands in the South Pacific that are,
quote, owned by different colonial European powers.
Well, Britain was the biggest. Right. They owned
India. Right. Right. And they eventually got
their independence, right? Right. Well, yeah,
they did. Yeah. I think Australia was another
one at some point, wasn't it? Yeah. New Caledonia,
that comes to mind. That's an island in the South
Pacific. New Caledonia, and I think it's, is
it owned by? I think it's in East Texas. Oh,
is it? Oh, okay. Yeah, I'm wrong. Never mind.
Yeah. New Caledonia. I don't know that one. Yeah.
I went there when we vacationed there. When I
was living in Indonesia. Ew. And it's a French
territory. See what I mean? What the fuck? In
this day and age, why would that be? Why is that
a French territory? Why is Puerto Rico? Well,
at least Puerto Rico is like right off the United
States. Oh, yeah, you're right. How far is that
in? Oh, it's fucking by Australia. Yeah, so France
is on the other side of the globe. Right. I mean,
that's just weird to me. I agree. And it's totally
colonial. But you know what? That's the way it
is. I mean, you stick your stake in the ground
and you freaking own it, you know? And it's just
like, okay, well, you got to respect that, okay?
But they don't respect the United States owning
all these properties. They're kind of like, oh,
you stole it from the indigenous people. It's
like, you stupid motherfuckers. We paid for it,
you know? Right. We didn't steal it. We bought
it, you dumb fucks. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.
It's just weird. I mean, that's the way I feel
about Denmark, you know, quote, owning Greenland.
It's like, bitch, please. Yeah, but I mean, well,
you know what? We got to firm up on the history
of that. So we got to type that in. What about
the American Samoas? No, that's okay. Oh, that's
legal. Anything that the United States owns is
totally fine. What is that? Guam is one of them.
Wallace and Fortuna. I've never heard of that
one. Wallace? Wallace and Fortuna. Who owns that
one? There's probably a ton of people living
there. So Denmark gained control of the Greenland
when it was separated. A French island. Bastards.
So Denmark gained control of Greenland when it
separated from Norway in 1814 with the Treaty
of Kiel officially transferring Greenland to
the Danish crown, effectively making it Danish
territory ever since, although Greenland now
has a high degree of self -governance within
the Danish realm. Right. So it's all... I wonder
if they're taxed and they send money back to
Denmark. Just like we were in the American colonies.
It would seem reasonable. Norway's like way bigger.
But, you know, I don't, as far as a population
wise go, you know, it's kind of like they say
in Canada, it's like 90 % of the population lives
in the bottom 10 % of Canada. Yeah. Because the
upper 90 % isn't, it's too freaking cold. In
the 51st state. It's tundra. Interesting. Yeah.
Plus there's reindeer and you can't live up there
because you're going to. ruined the reindeer
migration. Yeah, true. That's only in California.
That was a big stink when they were building
the pipeline where you're going to hurt the reindeer
migration. They're fucking idiots. I know. See,
it's that mentality is what really ticked off
Elon Musk. And I got to tell you, you know, him
with the Doge program, it cracks me up because
I kind of feel like I know where he got this
idea. And I think part of it stemmed when he
was doing his ex space, uh, ships. And there
was a group of people that were giving him shit
about the pollution, the noise pollution that
the, the spaceships were creating when they were
taking off from the, the South Texas, uh, shores.
It was going, it was, it was creating deaf, on
seals and so what they did they tested seals
they got seals they lined them up and they put
these ear buds these fucking headsets and see
if you can pull that up headphones on seals see
if you get a picture of this motherfucker because
this is real this is what happened so they put
there you go there's a picture of it they put
a headset on these deals and expose them to high
levels, and they were like, this is how loud
it is for a ship to go up. Let's see how this
affects seals. This is the kind of bullshit that
made him want to step into this position where
he was kind of like, why are we spending money
on this? This is bizarre and absolute bullshit.
It says Elon Musk recently claimed that U .S.
regulators made SpaceX kidnap seals twice. Lex
Friedman. Oh, that's crazy. Kidnap a seal, strap
it to a board, put headphones on the seal and
play sonic boom sounds to it. That sounds mean.
Well, the government forced them to do it. God.
So, I mean, this is, I mean, there's all kinds
of, I mean, we can go on and on about the bizarre
things that they're doing. You know, jacking
up animals with cocaine and making them have
sex. It's just bizarre. It's stupid. It's just,
I mean. There's no room for that. And why the
hell? Look, I'm excited. I don't understand why
some of these folks are getting all bent out
of shape. You know, even I shared with you that
my daughter came to me and was upset that Elon
or Doge was shutting down one of her friends
who's a park ranger. She just got fired. And
I'm like, well. She actually knew the person.
That's what she claims. It was a female. She
got fired. Well, I mean, they laid off a bunch
of people, but I don't know, because anything
you pull up is against Doge. Go to the website.
Which one? Doge. They have their own website
now. Well, I guess we need to go check on that,
because I pulled up the WhiteHouse .gov website,
and I couldn't find... Doge .gov. I believe that's
it. You know, because it's just, you know, I
think we need to be grounded on what their function
is. Now, their job is to assess, you know, and
they're not slashing things. Paul, you kind of
alluded that they were. I didn't understand that
because from what I understand, they're identifying
things and then they submit these clarifiers
to another. to branch and they make these decisions
on how they're going to move forward. My understanding
is Trump kind of delegated to Elon and his team,
his, his, you know, fed federal regulators, um,
that they have the power to, uh, to identify
who needs to be cut and fire them and to, and
to stop, you know, spending like to free spending.
So, um, and that's, what's being challenged in
court, right? There's different judges that have,
you know, put in an injunction to stop them,
and that's what the Democrats have been saying.
Oh, you know, Elon, a private citizen, he's not
able to, he's not, you know, how is he allowed
to do this and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then there's one judge that said, yeah, they
have the power to hire and fire. So what is this?
So they have, so stop at one of these and click
on one of those big ones. There was one for $70
million that was down at the bottom. All right,
what do we got here? Let us pick the $28 million
one. All right, so we're on the Doge website.
DFS Construction, $28 million. Oh, man, they
are calling it out. $100 million. For what? Salient
Federal SGTS, Inc. Desert Request for Strategic.
I can't even read that. Programs follow on. I
can't read it. Initial. Requisition and request
for strategic programs follow on award, which
provides the consolidated services of PhD, PCM,
PMO, PQM, engineering and major systems PMDS.
Oh, God, I don't know. I don't know what that
is. But $100 million? Wow, that's a score. There's
one for $655 million up there. Jesus. So these
are all just, we don't know what these things
are. They could be legitimate. They could be.
But at the end of the day, we want to know what
they are. Why is it a big deal that we ask for
them to be transparent? And I'll tell you one
of the biggest things is why don't we have a
say on how much money gets to go to places like
Ukraine? Why do we send them half a trillion
dollars? Why is that okay? And then why is it
okay that along the way, half of it disappears?
Why is that okay? Why isn't there a paper trail
of where that money went? And if it's legitimate,
then why don't they just tell us where it went?
Right. But they don't have answers. The thing
is, as they start digging into this shit, we're
starting to see, you know, there's wasteful spending,
right? Where people are like, you know what?
They gave us $100 million. If we don't spend
it all, they're not going to give us $100 million
next year. Right. So they've got to spend it.
They've got to find a way to spend it. Oh, well,
let's go fund condoms for the Taliban, and let's
go do this and do that crazy shit, right? Right.
But some of this stuff is full -on fraud, like
the Social Security shit that Elon's talking
about. Oh, yeah, the whole Social Security thing,
that came out, I don't know if it was today or
yesterday. This is crazy. That there's 394, almost
300, I'm sorry, yeah, 395 million checks that
go out for Social Security. Hang on. Which is
more than our population in the United States.
He's not saying checks. What is it? That's how
many Social Security numbers there are. Active.
Yes, active numbers. Oh, active. Doesn't mean
they're getting a check. That doesn't mean they're
getting a check. So there's 394 million Social
Security numbers, and there's only 333 million
people living in the United States. Right. And
these numbers, they say, these are the numbers
that are listed as not dead. right the number
of the death field is set to false meaning so
we don't know for sure if they're getting a check
it's a reserve number for theoretically somebody
but they're not necessarily getting a check well
that makes we don't know that makes sense for
the zero to nine now yeah but it does not make
sense when you have the all the millions of people
over 100 years old yeah 120 plus right there
are far more eligible Social Security numbers
than there are citizens of the United States.
So it's part of that because they haven't cleared
the ones that are older or dead? It's possible,
but there's some, I mean, it could be key in
error. I mean, clearly, right? But 20 million
key in errors? So there's 1 .3 million people
that are between the ages of 150 and 159, right?
So, I mean, just dig into that. Well, there's
4 million 130 to 139. Right. No, I know. These
are all fraudulent. These are all non -closed.
Yes, they're non -closed, is what it's saying.
And basically, since they started it in 1935,
you know, there are old people on the rolls in
1935, right? Right. So you could have a social
security number in 1935. That's still active.
Yes, that's still active. That's 100 years from,
you know, 90 years ago. Now, are they still getting
checks? That's the question. We don't know. We
don't know. But they're not dead. But someone
could be using that for illegal voting. Easily.
To open up credit cards. Sure. For identity theft.
All that shit. Absolutely. That's what they're
doing in California. You know, that's why they're
passing out these driver's licenses. When they
get up there, they're illegal aliens. They come
up and they now have an opportunity to go get
a driver's license. And once they get a driver's
license, it opens Pandora's box for them to start.
soliciting other services, social security services,
voter registrations. Yep. And they're doing it
deliberately, of course, because they're trying
to expand their voter rolls. But it's funny that
there's two of them that's older than 300 years.
Yeah. So the joke that you sent today was like,
okay, there's a section. If you're zero to 109,
it's normal humans. If it's 110 to 229, you're
Biden voters. And then if you're 240, to 369,
you're Highlanders. Yes. There can be only one.
And what's funny is there's only one. There's
only one that's 240 to 249 and one that's 380
to 369. There can only be one. I was like, I
thought there could only be one. And you were
like, well, the quickening hasn't completed.
It was great. I was like, well, they must be
in the championship round because there's only
two left. Oh, God, that's funny. I love that
movie. I'm glad we clarified it a little bit.
So I am still curious how many checks are going
out. Yes. So that's still terrible, but it's
better than how I understood it to be. It's not
quite as fraudulent. Well, I mean, Elon Musk
was like, we're uncovering the biggest fraud
in history. Yep. So, I mean, he obviously believes
that this is, you know, very significant. There
are folks out there that are. saying, well, Elon
Musk is just trying to steal everyone's social
security number so that he can gain access to
their things. That's so dumb. He comes back and
says, if I wanted their social security number,
I would have taken it when I owned PayPal. Right.
Yeah. Boom. It dropped it. It's so dumb. I mean,
he is in it for the right reasons, just like
all the other people that Trump has appointed
to the cabinets. They're there for the right
reasons, which is people want the government
to get cleaned up. It's bloated. In 2011. It's
corrupt. There's a video of Obama who's trying
to make the same proclamation. Right. He comes
out and says the same exact thing. Oh, they all
say the same thing. The Clinton -Gore did the
same thing. They all say the same thing. And
it's just like, you know, when Trump says it,
it's a negative thing. But when they say it,
you know, everyone's like, oh, you know, God,
Obama speaks so eloquently. You know, I got to
tell you, for being a piece of shit, he sure
does speak well. He was an amazing orator. Yeah.
I heard on the day that Elon Musk had his 13th
child by his fourth woman. Oh, my gosh. Hold
on. He's got four women? Four women. 13 kids.
I wonder if he's like Mormon. I just don't think
he cares. Yeah. So, yeah, he clearly gets around.
But this latest one is a conservative podcast.
It's conservative influencer. Well, it's also
under question if it's really his. Yes. Okay,
here we go. Ashley St. Clair. So, yeah, he fathered
a child with her. All right. Yeah. I'd father
a child with her. I can see why. I'd smell that.
Wow. I can see why. But, yeah, she tried to keep
it quiet. She didn't want this to be tabloid
fodder. And so she was desperately trying to
get a hold of him, you know, because they need
to figure out what they're going to do about
the parenting of, you know, this scenario. And
there you go. So is he currently married? He
was. I don't think so. He was, I believe. And
all of his kids have crazy names. I understood
that. He owns like bunkers. I would if I had
that much money. Oh, shit. Yeah. Like for safety?
That they currently live in. Like his family,
they'll be tucked away. Because you got to imagine,
they got to be targeted for kidnapping. Oh, sure.
They can't live in a normal house. They would
have to live somewhere. Can't live in Frisco?
Can't live in Frisco. I mean, they could, but
he would have to live in a fortified. Unbreakman
Ranch? I don't know. Maybe. They live in Austin,
some of them. They can live anywhere they want.
I mean, you could build anything anywhere. That's
why he has that company that does tunnels so
he can do a whole underground lair. It's called
the Boring Company. Yeah, the Boring Company.
It's hilarious. He's been doing a lot of boring.
Such a clever name, man. I think it's great.
You know, I mean, if he had the money, hell yeah.
I would have everything down there. He started
his own company to make tunnels. Yeah. Crying
out loud. The guy's a brilliant. There's no question
about it. I'm just kind of curious where they're
going to take this. It's just what the courts
are going to say. How are they going to let this
pass? I mean, their courts, every step of the
way, they're trying to, every step of the way.
And while they're doing that, it almost seems,
and I'm going to use the word, I'm going to use
the word obfuscate, but it almost seems like
they're purposely distracting these courts. with
things like this to stop Elon so that they can
actually address other things. So that Trump
is all, they're out there doing a hundred different
things and they don't even see it yet. The chess
game is on a multi -dimensional game platform
and they're on. They're on square one. Who's
they? They is the Democrats. I'm talking about
the people fighting Trump. Democrats are getting
played, you're saying. Yeah, totally. They're
focusing on Elon, and Trump and Elon are laughing
at him. Okay, well, you can hold us up. I mean,
Trump's ultimately the one that's going to make
these decisions, and you can delay this all you
want. But by the way, we've got 100 other things
that are going on right now, and you're wasting
all your attention here. So, fuck off. Dude,
the Democrats don't know what to do. I mean,
first off, they don't want to be owned like they're
being owned. And Trump's approval rating is like
70%. No, it's 60s. In the 60s? Yeah. Okay. But
they were saying, well, they were breaking it
down by, do you approve of this? Do you approve
of that? 60, 63%. Just overall, though. Well,
I saw the thing that had different issues, right?
Okay. And I thought going after government inefficiency,
I thought was pushing 70%. I didn't see that
one. Potentially, yeah. But anyway, so they're
getting owned. The Democrats don't know what
to do right now, right? But whatever they're
doing, it comes across as they're scared that
what's going to come out is going to expose them.
I hope so. It sure looks like it. Sheryl Crow.
made a statement today or yesterday regarding
her Tesla. She donated it. Or sold it and donated
the money to NPR. But you see when she actually
did that? She posted it in February or something
like that. She took the video and it was clearly
fall and autumn. Because the leaves on the tree,
they're all orange and red. So when she took
the video, it was probably the fall sometime.
But now she's just posted and saying, I just
gave her whatever she did with her Tesla. Yeah,
that doesn't look like February. Yeah, and she
lives in Tennessee. So it's like two degrees
there right now. What a ding -dong. It hats off
to her for making a statement, doing what she
wants. I mean, that's what being in this great
America is all about. But, I mean, it's all for
the wrong reasons. And the fact that she's giving
it to NPR is even better. Less money the government
has to pay to keep that bullshit thing floating.
She wanted you to wipe your ass with one square.
She was on that push for a while. One square?
Well, that's what you use up a day, right? No,
one square of toilet paper is what she says you
should be allotted per toilet. You mean you can't
spare a square? No. One square. That wouldn't
go very far. No, you'd break through it. Yeah.
It's a quadruple ply, though. Man, you'd be folding
it into like a little cube. Maybe the square
is the size of a newspaper. One square of toilet
paper. So she's got... Pretty skanky butthole.
She's got something going on down there. I mean,
it's got to be not clean. Look at that. She's
like, ow, it's chafed. Yeah, but if it makes
her happy. If it makes you happy. Yes, my butt
is chafed. But that sucks, though, because I
like Sheryl Crow. I think she's a talented musician.
I think she writes her own shit. One sheet of
visit. Oh, God. Maybe she's talking about pee
-pee. Oh, hold on. Two or three squares on pesky
occasions. So I think we... Is that like when
it's like a Sharpie down there, it just won't
go away? I'm going to go out on a limb and say
that we have consistent pesky occasions when
we... Yeah, so we could probably average two
or three squares. I would need like toilet paper
like on a belt sander, so it's like... You know?
I don't know, man. It's kind of weird. I'm on
board with trying to get one of those little
retrofit bidets. You know, it's unfortunate that
she got herself in the news. For a really stupid
reason. It doesn't help her. The article is 17
years old, so I don't know. Oh, yeah, it was
a while back. No, I mean... Maybe she didn't
poop as much back then. I'm talking about the
donating the test. What do you think that tour
smelled like? She's only limiting all her tour
people to one square? Oh, no, she's saying everybody
else should do one square. She's probably...
Well, she's got a bidet, and she's using the
one square to just, you know... I mean, that's
what I'm saying. She dries off. Yeah, it's like...
Yeah, exactly. I don't know. I don't know about
the tongue action. All right. She was cute, too.
I mean, she dated several people. She dated the
one bald dude, right? The European Francis Tour
de... Who? The cyclist. Oh, Lance Armstrong.
Lance Armstrong, the Tour de France. The cheater.
Yeah. Did he cheat, though? He did. He did. I
mean, did he cheat, though? Yes. He did. He broke
the rules. That's cheating. Yeah, but I mean.
The answer is still going to be the same no matter
how many times you ask. Okay, okay. He broke
the rules, but I mean, look. He was doing blood
transfusions in the middle of the race. I'm just
like, does it really matter? He was doing blood
transfusions in the middle of the race. Oh, I
didn't know that. Yes. That's how he did his
mountain stages. Like a beast. So what, did he
have his freaking blood pack on him? No, but
when they went back to the, you know, because
they take. Brakes, right? They don't go through.
In between stages. And they sleep. He had a blood
boy that followed him on a bike. No, I mean,
seriously. When the race paused. I've never heard
this. When the race paused, he went back to his
trailer or whatever, and he did transfusions.
Yep, this is true. Okay, that's 100 % cheating.
That's cheating. 100%. I thought it was like
some drug enhancement kind of stuff. That too.
Like some sort of special supplement? I thought
that's what it was. I'm like, yeah, come on.
It was that as well, plus blood transfusions,
plus I think a couple other things. He was destroying
everybody on the mountain stages. So he was using
performance for 13 years until a confession during
a broadcast interview with Oprah Winfrey in 13.
He finally admitted he was cheating in sports.
I view this situation as one big lie. You know,
well, maybe that's why he lost a ball. Well,
he had testicular cancer. Yeah, he sure did.
That's what I'm saying. Maybe he lost a ball
because of all that extracurricular stuff. That
was prior. Oh, so he did that afterwards. You
know what? I will say this. Yes, he had testicular
cancer. He worked his ass off. Despite the cheating
that he did, it was still amazing what he accomplished.
Now, I'm not saying that other cyclists, if they
hadn't done the same thing. Well, let me put
it this way. There might have been a shit ton
of cyclists that did the same thing he did, but
they didn't put in the work to actually get through
the mountain. You still have to go through the
mountain stages. You know what I mean? Oh, he
still had to go do it, but he was cheating. Come
on. I totally get it. But what I'm saying is.
It was easier for him because he was cheating.
Right. To the level he was. Yeah, he was an elite
athlete, and the only way he could have consistently
won seven years in a row or something. For example,
if I got a blood transfusion, I would not be
able to do the mountain stage. Yes, yes. But
any of the other elite riders, if they had done
that, they could have been performing like he
was. Right. You could do the downhill part. Yeah,
the downhill. Slalom. Then I get wheel wobble.
Oh, shit. Because they're going. Fast, 65, 70
miles an hour. Oh, yeah. And here's my point.
It's unfortunate that how hard he worked as an
athlete. He trained like crazy. He worked hard.
He was an elite athlete. And it wasn't enough
for him. Yes, and he threw it all away. He threw
away all that hard work. You know what I mean?
It all got discredited as soon as that happened.
Yep. We need to talk about this bourbon. We do.
There won't be a next time. This is our last
one? Anyway, we've got to talk about this bourbon.
There's always going to be a day in history.
It's like February 18th. We'll get it next year.
Next year. If you're really passionate about
this day, it'll be here next year. I'll save
it. I'll save it. Thank you. Just file it away.
You've inspired me. All right, let's talk about
this. This is good. Yeah, so this is one that...
We stumbled upon, and we're very, very, very,
very lucky to get this. This is the Jack Daniels
coin doll. This is the one that Stan texted us
and was like, hey, anybody close? You have three
minutes. And it wasn't about us. It was about,
he wanted it, and he was kind of like, I suppose
if you buy mine, you can get one too. He's like,
gee sags. I was like, on my way. And I had no
idea the value of this either. And this is a
unicorn. Oh, yeah. This is a unicorn. Not rare.
Unicorn. So this is the Jack Daniels Single Barrel
Special Reserve Tennessee Whiskey, otherwise
known as the Coyhill. Coyhill, which is the highest.
Yes, it's on the little orange label or red or
whatever the color is. So this is which is the
highest elevated rolling hill on the Jack Daniel
distillery property. There's something special
about that Rick house. I guess. It opens an underlying
vein of classic Jack Daniels aroma. Vein. What's
interesting is it showcases a barrel house location
along with the quote extreme weather. There's
no extreme weather. Well, I guess there can be
in Tennessee. This is Tennessee, right? There's
deaths going on right now. That's true with the
flooding. But this is a high. Typically high,
high proof bottle. Either last year's or the
one before. You can see it's as high as 148.
This year's, the version we have is not. It's
123. Yeah, 123. Really? I thought it was 28.
I'm looking at the bottle. Oh, he's got the bottle.
It's straight from the barrel. Minimal filtration.
Uncut. One of a kind. Single barrel. Should remain
up. Oh, listen. Should remain upright at all
times unless you are pouring it into a glass
to enjoy. What? Oh, yeah. You don't want to waste
it. You don't want it slipping out by accident.
Should remain upright. I can't read that. Jeff,
it's tilting it. It's not upright. Let me try.
Paul, he's tilting it. You're supposed to upright.
It's got to be upright. You're not paying attention
to it. I'm not pouring anymore. Well, it says
a little special statement about which floor
of which brick house it gets from. I can't read
that. Beautiful. I was trying to read it. Oh,
sorry. It's Rick House 8, and it's like the middle
floor of Rick House 8. All right. It is 123 proof,
61 .5. You don't have any. We're freaking old.
You need a light on it. We got the magnifying
glass out on the camera. Can you put the light
on it? Oh, you didn't put the light on it. Anyway,
this is a unique. This is a taste, to me anyway,
the standard Jack Daniels. It's got some of that
in there. But there's a unique flavor underneath
that I'm trying to pick out. Barrelhouse 8. The
aroma, AI overview says the aroma is rich and
inviting. Notes of toasted oak, caramel, dark
chocolate, cinnamon, and baked apple. Sounds
familiar. That's the aroma. Hints of clove, allspice,
and dried bay. Well, I'm picking up a lot of...
Bay leaves, maybe? Yeah, perhaps, yeah. I'm picking
up a lot of that crispy sea spice, the cloves
and shit like that. I am picking up some of that.
Yeah, there's something on the nose and the taste
that I haven't quite identified. The cloves may
be a good thing. High -toned floral notes like
wild daisies or sassafras leaves. Yeah, you just
came up with that, I'm sure. Sassafras. Maybe
a little grape in there. Maybe a little bit for
me. I still can't pin it. I think the floral
is hitting there. Is that what that is? Yeah.
I don't get any floral. Well, the palate full
-bodied and intense flavors of charred oak, molasses,
dark spices. The palate also balanced of hints
of dried fruit and a touch of vanilla, layers
of caramel and candied fruit, deeper notes of
toffee, molasses, and charred oak. Finish. Long
and warming. Lingering notes of smoky spice and
subtle sweetness. Balanced yet intensely lingering
impressions of dark brown sugar and smoky. Overall,
Jack Daniels, the Coy Hill is a full flavored
high proof. Spectacular. It is spectacular. We
still have this. It's really, really unique.
It's very unlike. I'm going to rate it a nine.
Sorry. Go on. No, you're fine. It's very interesting
that we run across something that is so different
than other things. Yeah, I think I'm going eight,
eight on this. No, I'll go a nine with you, Sean.
It's outstanding. Yeah, it really is. We're going
to have to rethink some of these whiskeys out
there. I say we. Whip out the pin hook again.
Yeah, I think so. You know, I want to really
run that one through the gauntlet again. This
is so good. It is. It's tasty. You know, I can't
not do a nine. I mean, I was going to go with
an 8 .5 or 8 .8, but I mean, there's really no
point. I mean, because it's so unique. The bad
thing I'm having right now is I don't want to
rush this. And I know Jeff has to go to bed.
So I'm thinking I'm going to take a roadie. But
not on this bottle. No, no. I might take this.
Oh. You've got quite a bit left. Well, anyway.
I've been slow rolling. If you have a chance
to get this, this is about $500 aftermarket,
secondary. I think we got it for $90. Yeah. We
got lucky. We did. If you can't find it at 90
bucks, buy it. Get it. Magic words. Coy Hill.
C -O -Y Hill. Coy Hill. Orange Bottle. Jack Daniels.
Terrific. It's outstanding. We posted it on the
Dudes Like Us Instagram page, and it should populate
on the Dudes Like Us podcast Facebook page. Hit
that subscribe button. Shout it out to us. Mr.
Producer, thank you for being on top of shit
today. You guys good with anything? I'm set.
Yeah. Good. Good. Looking forward to this weekend.
Yeah, it should be a fun one. I'm looking forward
to it, too. Interesting. So Heather's birthday
is coming up. Hopefully we're going to check
that out and say hello to that. Sean, I'm Paul.
And I am Jeff.
