WEBVTT

00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:04.179
I'm not on my game. Well, because we were watching

00:00:04.179 --> 00:00:09.220
some lady with itty -bitty shorts on fishing.

00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:12.240
I think Chuck deliberately tried to derail us

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:15.439
today. He's like, let's do a sound check and

00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:18.179
put on some hottie that's going fishing with

00:00:18.179 --> 00:00:21.079
short shorts and cleavage. I heard no complaints.

00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:23.519
Well, that's because we didn't understand what

00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:25.839
we were watching, Chuck. Yeah, we had to understand

00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:30.629
it. You can put it back on if you want. Choo

00:00:30.629 --> 00:00:34.710
-choo. All right. That's good stuff. She's Louise.

00:00:34.929 --> 00:00:37.630
We are back in action. Yeah, we are, man. Lots

00:00:37.630 --> 00:00:42.509
of things going on. Poor, poor, I don't want

00:00:42.509 --> 00:00:47.030
to say poor Jeff, but God bless. Yeah, it sucks

00:00:47.030 --> 00:00:50.729
coming home right now just because my house is

00:00:50.729 --> 00:00:53.329
a complete disaster right now. Demolition zone.

00:00:53.369 --> 00:00:56.420
Yes. And it looks like they didn't hang some

00:00:56.420 --> 00:00:58.259
plastic where they should have. I know I've got

00:00:58.259 --> 00:01:00.159
dust over a bunch of shit. It's always something.

00:01:00.460 --> 00:01:03.000
It's always something. You know, it's hard to

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.980
get, it's hard for everything to connect all

00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:08.859
the times. What is it? You can please some of

00:01:08.859 --> 00:01:10.500
the people some of the time. You can please some

00:01:10.500 --> 00:01:12.140
of the people all the time. But you can't please

00:01:12.140 --> 00:01:14.540
all the people all the time. Right. I guess the

00:01:14.540 --> 00:01:16.640
end result, if the end result is it looks really

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:18.780
good, then I'll be pleased. The bourbon can get

00:01:18.780 --> 00:01:21.310
us through tonight. i think i think so i need

00:01:21.310 --> 00:01:23.769
to sample this mystery bourbon it's actually

00:01:23.769 --> 00:01:26.849
quite tasty you haven't sampled it yet i took

00:01:26.849 --> 00:01:29.969
a small one but i'm not sure what i'm gonna do

00:01:29.969 --> 00:01:33.000
oh I'm already empty. You need to save that.

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:34.719
And we haven't even started. What the hell, man?

00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.579
I spilled it. You spilled it in your mouth. In

00:01:37.579 --> 00:01:40.480
my mouth, yeah. Here, eat some durian. No, I'm

00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.060
not going to eat. So it's the day before my wife's

00:01:43.060 --> 00:01:45.099
birthday. It's February 25th, the first half

-woodcraft. Our producer's stepping in, Mr. Chuck.

00:01:57.500 --> 00:01:59.599
Thank you, sir. Dudes Like Us. I'm Sean. I am

00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:03.719
Paul. And I am Sean. Jeff. I really tighten this

00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:06.260
San Pellegrino bottle. Do you need me to open

00:02:06.260 --> 00:02:08.919
it for you, Sean? Did you use your ass taint

00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.919
muscles to tighten that? No, it's like a Funyun,

00:02:11.939 --> 00:02:15.060
so it just kind of right around it. Wow. Why

00:02:15.060 --> 00:02:16.460
do you drink that stuff again? What's special

00:02:16.460 --> 00:02:18.300
about this water that you drink? I enjoy it.

00:02:18.340 --> 00:02:20.659
It's got little small bubbles. It's not very...

00:02:20.659 --> 00:02:23.500
Bubble water. It plays when you're talking. It's

00:02:23.500 --> 00:02:25.900
bubble water. Okay, that's right. We've covered

00:02:25.900 --> 00:02:27.780
this before. I like it. Does it finger your palate?

00:02:29.250 --> 00:02:32.469
Yeah, it penetrates pretty hard. Nice. Defund

00:02:32.469 --> 00:02:36.650
all your uvula. Okay. Listen, guys, I'm tired.

00:02:36.830 --> 00:02:40.990
I'm going to bail out. Good Lord. We're not even

00:02:40.990 --> 00:02:45.389
two minutes in. I know. This guy just got pervy

00:02:45.389 --> 00:02:46.789
and everything. Part of the start of the podcast

00:02:46.789 --> 00:02:50.289
is that we've got, like, Jeff, you may not know,

00:02:50.370 --> 00:02:52.629
Jeff had some water leak in his house, and it

00:02:52.629 --> 00:02:55.289
caused some damage, and they're having to do

00:02:55.289 --> 00:02:58.909
some repairs, which... impacts the production

00:02:58.909 --> 00:03:01.810
here at the pot dudes like us podcast recording

00:03:01.810 --> 00:03:06.409
area in um we had to gather all the bourbon whiskey

00:03:06.409 --> 00:03:09.550
bottles and kind of Corral them into boxes, and

00:03:09.550 --> 00:03:11.270
we need to move them into a part of the house

00:03:11.270 --> 00:03:13.389
where it's not going to be disturbed. And protect

00:03:13.389 --> 00:03:15.849
them. We're protecting our assets. And we're

00:03:15.849 --> 00:03:18.610
going through them. We're picking one up. It's

00:03:18.610 --> 00:03:21.330
kind of like, oh, look at my little baby. Oh,

00:03:21.349 --> 00:03:23.889
and look at this baby. And there's another one,

00:03:23.889 --> 00:03:25.490
and there's another one. I want to love him and

00:03:25.490 --> 00:03:28.469
hug him and name him George. I don't ever remember

00:03:28.469 --> 00:03:30.490
doing that. Did you do that, Jeff? Sean takes

00:03:30.490 --> 00:03:33.849
me to the bathroom for a few minutes. No. We're

00:03:33.849 --> 00:03:37.240
going to have to outlaw that. Yeah. Well, I mean,

00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.360
but it is. We're picking up some of these bottles,

00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:41.159
and it's kind of like, wow, man, I remember when

00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:43.379
we bought this, and then Jeff was over with his

00:03:43.379 --> 00:03:46.479
genie bottle. Hold on. The very first bottle

00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.599
that was bought. So we picked up, what is this,

00:03:49.659 --> 00:03:51.900
the Willet Bourbon. It comes in something you

00:03:51.900 --> 00:03:54.020
would find, the I Dream of Genie lamp, you know?

00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:55.900
And we're going, oh, that's nice. Looks like

00:03:55.900 --> 00:03:58.939
a butt plug. Let's get it. It's very unique.

00:03:59.219 --> 00:04:01.759
Yeah, it's just big. It's got a very large base.

00:04:01.819 --> 00:04:03.659
Kind of looks like a bong if you ever see a water

00:04:03.659 --> 00:04:05.509
bottle. Yeah, it does. You know, the problem

00:04:05.509 --> 00:04:07.490
with that is it looks like it could not go around

00:04:07.490 --> 00:04:10.449
another pour, but it probably can because it's

00:04:10.449 --> 00:04:12.669
a very wide base. Yes, it is. We could probably

00:04:12.669 --> 00:04:15.370
get one more pour out of that. Yeah. We'll give

00:04:15.370 --> 00:04:17.790
it a shot. Challenge accepted. Yeah. Well, halftime?

00:04:17.810 --> 00:04:19.670
No, maybe we'll see. All right, we'll see. All

00:04:19.670 --> 00:04:22.250
right. I'm working from home tomorrow. I've had

00:04:22.250 --> 00:04:26.029
a full day. God bless, I had a full day. Plus,

00:04:26.069 --> 00:04:27.870
I had a weird weekend. I don't know about you.

00:04:27.930 --> 00:04:30.470
I'll bring up a little emergency situation that

00:04:30.470 --> 00:04:32.589
I did. Oh, yeah, I didn't hear anything. Paul

00:04:32.589 --> 00:04:35.350
let me know kind of what was going on, but I

00:04:35.350 --> 00:04:37.689
don't know what the outcome was. You were around

00:04:37.689 --> 00:04:40.910
family, and everything was fine. After everything

00:04:40.910 --> 00:04:42.750
was said and done, everything was fine. So there

00:04:42.750 --> 00:04:46.149
was no reason to alert unnecessarily. In fact,

00:04:46.370 --> 00:04:47.970
my wife kind of got after me a little bit because

00:04:47.970 --> 00:04:49.110
she was like, well, we've got to tell the kids.

00:04:49.230 --> 00:04:51.009
What happens if something happens? So, I mean,

00:04:51.029 --> 00:04:52.850
long story short, and I still had the issue.

00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.860
It hit hard yesterday, and it hit hard today

00:04:56.860 --> 00:04:59.339
for a little bit. Are you going to go see your

00:04:59.339 --> 00:05:01.800
general practitioner to see about some studies?

00:05:02.060 --> 00:05:07.079
Well, I mean, I don't want to, but I'm thinking

00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:10.360
that hopefully I'll work through it. But let

00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:14.959
me share first of all what it is. So I had high

00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.019
blood pressure. I was taking medication for the

00:05:18.019 --> 00:05:20.540
high blood pressure, and it was working. Yeah.

00:05:20.939 --> 00:05:24.399
So I was trying to not take the blood pressure.

00:05:24.459 --> 00:05:27.240
So I'm trying to eat better, which I am. And

00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.959
I'm doing things to try to be healthier, which

00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:35.279
I'm doing. And I've slowed down taking my medicine.

00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:38.379
And from what I understood, you're not supposed

00:05:38.379 --> 00:05:41.319
to do that. So, you know, from what I thought

00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.180
was it was kind of like you take this medicine

00:05:44.180 --> 00:05:48.899
and it works. It may still work like that. Maybe

00:05:48.899 --> 00:05:50.300
they're just lying. I don't know. I don't trust

00:05:50.300 --> 00:05:52.139
these fucking doctors. But, you know, when I

00:05:52.139 --> 00:05:53.899
take the blood pressure medicine, it lowers my

00:05:53.899 --> 00:05:56.420
blood pressure, you know. But the doctor, the

00:05:56.420 --> 00:05:58.360
emergency room doctor says, no, when you take

00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:01.720
that blood pressure medicine, it kind of influences

00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:04.279
your cycle a little bit, just a little bit. And

00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:05.939
then you take it the next day and it does it

00:06:05.939 --> 00:06:09.279
a little bit. So it creates a trend of tapering

00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.500
or blood loosening or whatever it does. I don't

00:06:12.500 --> 00:06:14.540
know the magic that it does inside the body.

00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.579
So, you know, I was down to like one day a week,

00:06:17.699 --> 00:06:19.480
two days a week of making it. And you know what?

00:06:19.500 --> 00:06:21.500
My blood pressure wasn't bad. I mean, it wasn't

00:06:21.500 --> 00:06:24.079
where I wanted it to be, but it wasn't bad. You

00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.480
know, sometimes it was 120 over 80. A lot of

00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:30.180
times it was 130 over 85, 130 over 90. Is that

00:06:30.180 --> 00:06:33.060
horrible? I don't think so. The 90 is the bad

00:06:33.060 --> 00:06:35.699
one. I think 130, you're starting to get up there,

00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:38.160
but that bottom one, if it gets to the 90, that's

00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:40.620
where they start getting concerned. Really? Okay.

00:06:40.939 --> 00:06:44.519
Yeah. Well, you know, long story short, again,

00:06:44.990 --> 00:06:49.449
You know, I was Saturday, well, the three days

00:06:49.449 --> 00:06:51.449
or four days prior to that, I've been getting

00:06:51.449 --> 00:06:54.310
kind of a vertigo kind of feeling. Yeah. And

00:06:54.310 --> 00:06:58.470
they still don't know where it came from. So

00:06:58.470 --> 00:07:01.449
I don't know. I need to go and get myself further

00:07:01.449 --> 00:07:03.970
checked out. But they just said, well, they gave

00:07:03.970 --> 00:07:05.269
me a clean bill of health. You can get out of

00:07:05.269 --> 00:07:07.389
here because it's just vertigo. And you got to

00:07:07.389 --> 00:07:09.430
go figure that out. Go to another doctor. But

00:07:09.430 --> 00:07:11.069
it's not an emergency room kind of thing because

00:07:11.069 --> 00:07:12.649
you're not going to die of it. And it wasn't

00:07:12.649 --> 00:07:14.709
your heart. Most importantly, it wasn't a heart

00:07:14.709 --> 00:07:17.740
issue. But at the time. You know, I was taking

00:07:17.740 --> 00:07:19.439
my blood pressure, and you saw that night that

00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.259
I was here for the podcast last Tuesday. Correct,

00:07:21.259 --> 00:07:22.860
yeah. You know, my blood pressure was high, and

00:07:22.860 --> 00:07:24.639
I challenged your system, and I was like, I don't

00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:26.019
think that's reading right. Well, it fucking

00:07:26.019 --> 00:07:29.120
was reading right, and what, it was 155 or over

00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:32.680
109? Yeah, it was high. Yeah, that was ridiculous.

00:07:33.259 --> 00:07:36.839
And so, you know, it got Tuesday, you know, I

00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:38.980
just kind of fluffed it through, and then Saturday,

00:07:39.100 --> 00:07:43.740
I was sitting at my desk working, and all of

00:07:43.740 --> 00:07:46.319
a sudden, something happened, and I felt like,

00:07:46.750 --> 00:07:49.089
I don't have control over things right now. Right.

00:07:49.209 --> 00:07:53.709
I don't have what it takes. So whenever in the

00:07:53.709 --> 00:07:57.110
past I've drank too much and I feel like I'm

00:07:57.110 --> 00:07:59.449
under the influence, I can't control myself,

00:07:59.589 --> 00:08:02.910
I get kind of panicky because I don't like that

00:08:02.910 --> 00:08:05.649
feeling because if there's an emergency, I can't

00:08:05.649 --> 00:08:08.470
respond. I hate that feeling. Right. So I've

00:08:08.470 --> 00:08:10.470
felt like that. Like, oh my gosh, I don't have

00:08:10.470 --> 00:08:12.550
control over myself. And I feel lightheaded,

00:08:12.649 --> 00:08:14.129
and I feel like I'm going to pass out. Right.

00:08:14.149 --> 00:08:16.730
So, you know, I talked to Tara about it. She

00:08:16.730 --> 00:08:20.149
was like, let's go. Let's go. And here I am thinking,

00:08:20.370 --> 00:08:23.310
oh, man, we're going to miss the Elton John tribute.

00:08:24.310 --> 00:08:25.930
Right. That's all that mattered to you. Well,

00:08:26.069 --> 00:08:28.069
you did miss Heather's birthday party. We did.

00:08:28.170 --> 00:08:31.290
Did you let her know? Yeah, I let Stan know,

00:08:31.389 --> 00:08:34.250
and I let the disc jockey there know what was

00:08:34.250 --> 00:08:35.950
going on. I didn't want to mess with Heather.

00:08:36.049 --> 00:08:37.950
She had her stuff going on, and I didn't want

00:08:37.950 --> 00:08:40.549
to. impact that i'm sure she she understood what's

00:08:40.549 --> 00:08:42.769
going on but you know it but it brings to light

00:08:42.769 --> 00:08:45.889
that well life is precious and you never know

00:08:45.889 --> 00:08:48.110
what's going on right in retrospect i kind of

00:08:48.110 --> 00:08:50.610
i really need to take care of this because today

00:08:50.610 --> 00:08:54.690
i i drove down to a place and and worked and

00:08:54.690 --> 00:08:57.789
i didn't feel good for about an hour um i was

00:08:57.789 --> 00:09:00.690
out in the sun great day out there it was you

00:09:00.690 --> 00:09:03.470
know and uh so i mean i felt great driving home

00:09:03.470 --> 00:09:06.230
i feel great right now um i'm hoping it kind

00:09:06.230 --> 00:09:09.490
of fades away and i'm hoping it was a product

00:09:09.490 --> 00:09:14.179
of me not taking my medicine on a regular basis.

00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:16.259
And the doctor said, well, we need to rule that

00:09:16.259 --> 00:09:18.919
out first. So if you get back on your medicine

00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:21.460
and you take it every single day and it doesn't

00:09:21.460 --> 00:09:24.360
disappear, well, then we need to take a look

00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.240
at it. Because right now, your body's kind of

00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:27.620
tripping out and doesn't know what the fuck to

00:09:27.620 --> 00:09:29.679
do because you're taking it here and you're not

00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.080
taking it. So I don't know. Right. I don't know.

00:09:32.100 --> 00:09:33.799
And at the same time, I don't trust any of them.

00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:36.519
Well, I mean, if it's medicine that is designed

00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:39.610
to be on a very tight schedule. then it stands

00:09:39.610 --> 00:09:42.230
to reason that you could have unpredictable results

00:09:42.230 --> 00:09:45.009
when you're not consistent, right? Yeah, maybe

00:09:45.009 --> 00:09:48.129
it just creates huge swings like you were experiencing

00:09:48.129 --> 00:09:50.850
maybe. Yeah. Well, the thing is I've been doing

00:09:50.850 --> 00:09:55.029
that for the last two, three months, and I haven't

00:09:55.029 --> 00:09:56.309
had any of these, or at least maybe I didn't

00:09:56.309 --> 00:09:58.309
know. Maybe that's what it was. I don't know.

00:09:58.309 --> 00:10:01.370
And he mentioned some pretty interesting things

00:10:01.370 --> 00:10:04.950
too regarding the way you feel. You may not even

00:10:04.950 --> 00:10:07.809
be aware that you have high blood pressure. And

00:10:07.809 --> 00:10:10.470
you've got stuff going on because he says it

00:10:10.470 --> 00:10:17.330
may come in the form of confusion or tiredness

00:10:17.330 --> 00:10:20.570
or, you know, just something else. Yeah, symptoms

00:10:20.570 --> 00:10:22.850
you dismiss. Well, they call it the silent killer.

00:10:23.049 --> 00:10:24.730
That's right. Because you don't know. Right.

00:10:24.830 --> 00:10:26.769
There really aren't any symptoms. Yeah, you can

00:10:26.769 --> 00:10:28.669
feel totally fine and then you find out your

00:10:28.669 --> 00:10:30.710
blood pressure is off the freaking chart. Yeah,

00:10:30.730 --> 00:10:33.110
and you're about to die. Right. Yeah, well, vertigo

00:10:33.110 --> 00:10:36.899
is ear -related typically, isn't it? Has your

00:10:36.899 --> 00:10:40.519
inner ear. That's part of it. There's vertigo.

00:10:40.659 --> 00:10:43.960
It's your equilibrium. Yeah. And there's also

00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:47.179
some stuff behind your neck that has an impact

00:10:47.179 --> 00:10:51.740
on your vertigo. Vertigo could also be related

00:10:51.740 --> 00:10:54.220
to the lack of oxygen going to your brain. Your

00:10:54.220 --> 00:10:58.539
medulla. The base of the brain, which is the

00:10:58.539 --> 00:11:00.879
cerebellum. That's the medulla, isn't it? Well,

00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:04.059
they say the cerebellum is responsible for balance

00:11:04.059 --> 00:11:06.960
and coordination. So if there's anything related

00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:10.360
to dizziness or vertigo, it could be some sort

00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:13.240
of virus of the cerebellum. Yeah, and you know,

00:11:13.299 --> 00:11:15.940
there's word that there's viruses going on out

00:11:15.940 --> 00:11:20.080
there right now that is simply causing these

00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:24.820
issues that could... also be creating the high

00:11:24.820 --> 00:11:27.080
blood pressure. So there's a number of things

00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:29.200
going on. But at the end of the day, I need to

00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:31.399
be taking my medicine. Is there a vaccine for

00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:36.820
that one? There is. mRNA. But look, man, I feel

00:11:36.820 --> 00:11:41.019
defeated because I don't want to suck on the

00:11:41.019 --> 00:11:43.899
teat of this medical dependency. You want it

00:11:43.899 --> 00:11:46.279
off. You wanted to get yourself medicine -free.

00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:49.340
But at the same time, you want to be healthy

00:11:49.340 --> 00:11:51.759
at the same time, right? So it's a dichotomy.

00:11:51.820 --> 00:11:55.080
It's like I don't necessarily trust it, but it's

00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:57.620
there for a reason, and it does save lives, right?

00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:01.580
Yep. Yeah, it can. It does. Not it can't. It

00:12:01.580 --> 00:12:04.440
does save lives. Is it mandatory that I take

00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:06.960
it? I don't know. But you know what? The thing

00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:09.700
is, if I were eating healthier, which that pisses

00:12:09.700 --> 00:12:11.940
me off. It doesn't piss me off. It frustrates

00:12:11.940 --> 00:12:14.360
me because I don't eat necessarily horrible.

00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:17.100
Well, your testosterone, like I said, high blood

00:12:17.100 --> 00:12:20.699
pressure is a byproduct of testosterone. treatment

00:12:20.699 --> 00:12:23.980
well that's interesting because i had perfect

00:12:23.980 --> 00:12:26.700
blood pressure until i started taking that then

00:12:26.700 --> 00:12:29.620
i got and mine's not real high but mine went

00:12:29.620 --> 00:12:30.940
up where she's like all right we need to get

00:12:30.940 --> 00:12:33.059
you on a very low dose and she goes this is a

00:12:33.059 --> 00:12:35.179
this is a byproduct some people have get high

00:12:35.179 --> 00:12:37.480
blood pressure taking this and are you still

00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:40.399
on taking testosterone yeah yeah okay i have

00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:44.200
to take a very low dose of uh was it valsartan

00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:46.779
or whatever it is yeah right You're going to

00:12:46.779 --> 00:12:49.000
check your blood pressure on the air, ladies

00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:50.399
and gentlemen. Yeah, but you had blood pressure

00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:52.659
challenges before you started taking that, though,

00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:55.519
Sean, didn't you? Yeah, I was on blood pressure

00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:59.539
medicine. But it's been always fairly good. I

00:12:59.539 --> 00:13:02.659
mean, it hasn't been horrible. They just wanted

00:13:02.659 --> 00:13:06.340
it lower. And I had it down to 125, 130. So it

00:13:06.340 --> 00:13:09.399
wasn't horrible. The address is like, well. And

00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:11.019
when they say that kind of stuff, I'm thinking.

00:13:12.269 --> 00:13:15.509
They're just looking for that extra $100 a month.

00:13:16.090 --> 00:13:19.629
I know. That's what happens when you don't trust

00:13:19.629 --> 00:13:22.549
the medical system. You second -guess everything,

00:13:22.750 --> 00:13:24.590
right? We have every right to because they have

00:13:24.590 --> 00:13:27.809
lied to us. I agree. 100 % across the board on

00:13:27.809 --> 00:13:30.029
everything. It is in their best interest to keep

00:13:30.029 --> 00:13:33.929
the country generally sick. Ill. Yes, ill and

00:13:33.929 --> 00:13:37.509
needing medicine, needing regular visits. Like

00:13:37.509 --> 00:13:40.470
right now, it's 136 over 97. That's not good.

00:13:40.950 --> 00:13:43.919
Yeah. I think that's technical. Well, the 97

00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:47.399
is definitely hypertension. The 136 is prehypertension.

00:13:47.700 --> 00:13:51.480
I think, well, 137 is, or whatever it was, that's

00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:54.379
getting up there as well. Yeah. No, I agree.

00:13:54.659 --> 00:13:57.399
I'm sure mine's not much better, man. But it

00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:00.320
wasn't like that. I mean, you saw the day that

00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:02.320
I went to the hospital when I came home, it was.

00:14:02.740 --> 00:14:06.759
Yep. It was normal. It was excellent. I don't

00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:08.940
know. Maybe it's a long day, whatever it is.

00:14:08.980 --> 00:14:11.200
I'm taking my medicine every single day. That's

00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.039
good. Do that first. Like you said, you rule

00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:15.120
that out. Are you still eating your tablespoon

00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:17.799
of salt every morning? Well, it's not every morning.

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.639
I kind of do it periodically through the day.

00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:23.820
This is your mystical Celtic salt? No, it's not

00:14:23.820 --> 00:14:25.980
like I take it as a supplement. I mean, I kind

00:14:25.980 --> 00:14:30.480
of do, but I just take it whenever. Do you put

00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:33.740
it on your Danish pastry? I don't eat pastries.

00:14:33.740 --> 00:14:37.320
On your Danish? Just a Danish pastry? Is it a

00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:39.919
donut? I'm not sure what he puts his salt on.

00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:43.580
You said you eat healthy. Now it dropped down

00:14:43.580 --> 00:14:45.799
to 130 over 88. So I don't know. Maybe it's the

00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.179
arm position. Well, maybe your body, because

00:14:48.179 --> 00:14:50.379
it's fluctuating. Maybe your body, like you said,

00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:54.679
your blood pressure is doing this. It fluctuates

00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:59.340
so fast. Yeah. It does. It does. Yeah, that's

00:14:59.340 --> 00:15:02.899
one thing that the doctor I was seeing, PA actually,

00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:06.000
she was like, you know what? Stop taking it.

00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:07.419
Because I was obsessed with my blood pressure.

00:15:07.500 --> 00:15:08.940
Taking it all the time. Right? And she was like,

00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:10.779
stop taking it. Stop taking your blood pressure,

00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:14.580
relax, you know, watch your salt intake, you

00:15:14.580 --> 00:15:16.700
know, and just, you know, just chill. You know

00:15:16.700 --> 00:15:19.139
what I mean? Don't obsess over this, right? Because,

00:15:19.139 --> 00:15:21.580
you know, I mean, not that I had stress about

00:15:21.580 --> 00:15:23.740
it, but stress causes all this shit too, right?

00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:26.779
Yeah, stress is a big contributor to a lot of

00:15:26.779 --> 00:15:29.519
ills. Intensity, intensity, stress. If you've

00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:31.259
got a day where you're going, going, going, going,

00:15:31.259 --> 00:15:32.679
going, and you've got to be there, got to be

00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:34.059
there, got to get this report done, got to do

00:15:34.059 --> 00:15:37.580
all this shit. I mean, stress raises blood pressure.

00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:39.220
No question about it. I was definitely stressed.

00:15:39.580 --> 00:15:41.879
That's one reason I decided not to get back into

00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:45.279
the corporate is my health was being impaired.

00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:47.820
Right. You know, sitting on my ass eight to ten

00:15:47.820 --> 00:15:51.659
hours a day and then being stressed every day.

00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:57.419
And I tend to not try to stress, but that's hard

00:15:57.419 --> 00:16:01.169
to do. It's inevitable. These are external influences

00:16:01.169 --> 00:16:05.169
that are affecting you. Yeah, when the manager

00:16:05.169 --> 00:16:07.110
or VP or your president of the company comes

00:16:07.110 --> 00:16:08.970
up to you and starts asking you questions, and

00:16:08.970 --> 00:16:11.490
I need this in two hours, you're like, shit,

00:16:11.629 --> 00:16:12.970
this is going to take me three days to pull that.

00:16:13.090 --> 00:16:14.769
Yeah, you just say, oh, I'm sorry, I'm not allowed

00:16:14.769 --> 00:16:19.710
to be stressed. So I can't get that to you. I'm

00:16:19.710 --> 00:16:22.309
going to relax now. I've had enough of that shit.

00:16:22.429 --> 00:16:24.090
I'm going to get off the phone. You can't do

00:16:24.090 --> 00:16:26.860
that. Yeah, no, I hear you, man. You know, another

00:16:26.860 --> 00:16:28.899
thing I realized with the job I have is I can

00:16:28.899 --> 00:16:31.080
take a vacation and my work's not going to pile

00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:33.519
up on me. Right. I'm not going to come back to

00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.100
800 emails. Right. You know, I'm going to come

00:16:37.100 --> 00:16:38.700
back and it's going to be just like a regular

00:16:38.700 --> 00:16:41.559
day. I hated that. I hated going on vacation

00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:43.460
because it's almost like I don't want to go on

00:16:43.460 --> 00:16:45.919
vacation. It never leaves your mind. No, it doesn't

00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:49.240
leave. And your work, no one picked mine up,

00:16:49.259 --> 00:16:52.480
you know. No one picked up my work to do, so

00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:55.710
it sat. until I came back, and then I had to

00:16:55.710 --> 00:16:57.629
deal with it, plus all the other shit. Yeah,

00:16:57.649 --> 00:16:59.029
it just made you that much more stressed out.

00:16:59.049 --> 00:17:00.809
Yeah, and it's just you get behind, and it's

00:17:00.809 --> 00:17:02.129
just like, well, I don't want to go take out.

00:17:02.210 --> 00:17:04.049
I don't want to go on vacation because it's a

00:17:04.049 --> 00:17:06.829
disaster when I get back. Yeah, I hear you, man.

00:17:07.130 --> 00:17:08.789
But anyway, I don't have to deal with it anymore.

00:17:09.049 --> 00:17:13.049
Yeah, no, I think everybody has to find a balance

00:17:13.049 --> 00:17:15.410
that's healthy, and it's hard to do. It is. It

00:17:15.410 --> 00:17:18.049
is. I'm not saying that this job is perfect and

00:17:18.049 --> 00:17:20.089
I'm not going to be stressed out and have bad

00:17:20.089 --> 00:17:23.059
days and shit like that. It won't be anything

00:17:23.059 --> 00:17:24.200
like so far. It's not going to be what I was

00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:25.460
doing before. I think your job stresses me out

00:17:25.460 --> 00:17:28.079
more than you. I think it does. What the hell,

00:17:28.220 --> 00:17:29.380
man? What do you mean you're not going to be

00:17:29.380 --> 00:17:32.480
here on Friday? I don't understand. We can't

00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:34.119
go to happy hour? Really? Do you know what this

00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:35.039
is doing to my blood pressure? Are you kidding

00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:37.940
me? Jesus. This is what's going on. His body's

00:17:37.940 --> 00:17:40.160
reacting to the change. Yes, your fault, Jeff.

00:17:40.380 --> 00:17:42.720
He sends a text. Jeff, when are you going to

00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:44.920
be off? Well, I don't know yet. Damn it. It's

00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:51.220
158 over 99. Fuck. Jeff is causing this. Right.

00:17:51.869 --> 00:17:55.869
Right. Well, this Friday I'm open because Julie's

00:17:55.869 --> 00:17:59.150
out, so we can go. Although I still have to work,

00:17:59.210 --> 00:18:02.190
but I don't have to be home at a specific time.

00:18:02.269 --> 00:18:05.990
So Julie's out. What is she doing? She has her

00:18:05.990 --> 00:18:12.049
state competition. All right. So we are probably

00:18:12.049 --> 00:18:14.470
going to have to opt out for next week's Tuesday

00:18:14.470 --> 00:18:18.519
podcast, right? Yes. Probably. So if that's the

00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:21.619
case, we got to talk about next week's podcast.

00:18:21.740 --> 00:18:24.619
Are we going to move it to Friday? Like the next

00:18:24.619 --> 00:18:29.240
Friday? That Friday. I don't know. I mean, if

00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:30.880
you're doing it because of me, because I'm going

00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:32.700
to be traveling, right? So I can't do Tuesday.

00:18:32.940 --> 00:18:35.799
No, we're not. So you're, well. It depends when

00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:38.160
the carpet is done. Okay. Oh, you're doing it

00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:41.420
for. Because this room is going to be dismantled.

00:18:41.579 --> 00:18:43.660
Yeah. Everything has to go out and then we have

00:18:43.660 --> 00:18:44.519
to bring it all back in. And when will it be

00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:47.759
done? Well, what do you think? When is it planned

00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:49.880
to be done? Potentially the end of next week,

00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:52.299
which means we could use next weekend to put

00:18:52.299 --> 00:18:56.359
it back together. It'll take us half a day to

00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:58.380
put this thing together. Oh, yeah. If we're all

00:18:58.380 --> 00:19:03.059
working on it. Excuse me. Cost of living. Focused

00:19:03.059 --> 00:19:06.839
and drinking bourbon. If we're nude. Good God,

00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:10.400
man. Oh, no. I don't think that. And oiled. I

00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:12.519
don't think that helps us. Oh, we can slip by

00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:15.220
each other super quick. Paul, can you hand me

00:19:15.220 --> 00:19:20.059
that wire? It's underneath the table. What the

00:19:20.059 --> 00:19:22.359
hell? I'm not helping. I just thought you'd know

00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:24.119
right now. Bend over, but don't bend your knees

00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:28.039
kind of a thing. Good Lord. What? You know what

00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:30.640
scares me? It seems like you have said that before

00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:34.019
to someone. That was like premeditated. Yeah,

00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:37.119
he kind of rolled right off of his tongue. It

00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:39.119
just came to me. Is that something in your past

00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:41.509
that you want to talk about? We'll just be hideous

00:19:41.509 --> 00:19:44.569
for Sean to do that would terrorize us. That

00:19:44.569 --> 00:19:48.029
would be it. It would be it. I'd have to have

00:19:48.029 --> 00:19:51.569
some sort of precautionary safety down. And Sean's

00:19:51.569 --> 00:19:55.089
like, my blood pressure is so low. This is what

00:19:55.089 --> 00:19:58.849
I needed, guys. God. You sick son of a bitch.

00:19:58.950 --> 00:20:03.170
Yeah. All right. Well, the. Where are we going

00:20:03.170 --> 00:20:05.190
from here? I was going to bring up some politics,

00:20:05.410 --> 00:20:07.289
but I was like, do we want to bring up politics?

00:20:07.369 --> 00:20:08.890
Well, you already talked about the weekend. Why

00:20:08.890 --> 00:20:11.150
don't we talk about our Saturday night experience?

00:20:11.569 --> 00:20:12.930
All right. Well, you know what? I went to the

00:20:12.930 --> 00:20:17.869
doctor, and they ran a bunch of tests. They checked

00:20:17.869 --> 00:20:22.450
my head. They checked my chest. They did an MRI

00:20:22.450 --> 00:20:25.009
on the back of my neck because they were trying

00:20:25.009 --> 00:20:28.329
to see, is that causing the vertigo? And when

00:20:28.329 --> 00:20:30.430
they did that, they were like, hey, look, it

00:20:30.430 --> 00:20:33.009
looks like there could be some blockage in your

00:20:33.009 --> 00:20:35.309
carotid arteries, so we're going to send some

00:20:35.309 --> 00:20:37.529
sonograms to go in there, blah, blah, blah. So

00:20:37.529 --> 00:20:39.049
they look in there. It's like nothing's there,

00:20:39.170 --> 00:20:41.009
blah, blah, blah. All right. They were like,

00:20:41.089 --> 00:20:42.369
well, we don't know what's going on. Good luck.

00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:44.640
Bye -bye. Enjoy the Elton John thing tonight.

00:20:44.700 --> 00:20:48.400
Here's a $1 ,000 bill. Yeah, no shit. Wait till

00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:50.880
that bill comes. But anyway, we were thinking,

00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:53.380
everybody who knew what the situation was, I

00:20:53.380 --> 00:20:55.180
was like, he's out. Oh, yeah, he's definitely

00:20:55.180 --> 00:20:56.519
out. Oh, he's going to be at the hospital all

00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:59.839
night long. We know how that is. In the ER. Anytime

00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:01.740
you go to the ER, if you think it's going to

00:21:01.740 --> 00:21:04.859
be an hour, add six hours to it, right? But damn,

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:07.539
you were let go. Did you go to Centennial? I

00:21:07.539 --> 00:21:10.190
did. Yeah, they're actually... One of the faster

00:21:10.190 --> 00:21:12.250
ones? Yeah, they're not so bad. Yeah, Tara wanted

00:21:12.250 --> 00:21:17.150
to, good Lord, man. Look, Tara, God bless her.

00:21:17.349 --> 00:21:20.450
We're going to the hospital, right? I'm like,

00:21:20.549 --> 00:21:23.329
I'm not feeling good at all, right? And I'm like,

00:21:23.349 --> 00:21:25.170
I'm in and out, kind of like almost feel like

00:21:25.170 --> 00:21:28.210
I'm going to pass out, right? And she's like,

00:21:28.309 --> 00:21:29.390
well, where are we going to go? And I was like,

00:21:29.450 --> 00:21:30.910
let's go to Centennial. And then she was like,

00:21:30.970 --> 00:21:32.490
well, you know that one up there in Plano is

00:21:32.490 --> 00:21:35.170
a lot better. I was like, nah, let's just go

00:21:35.170 --> 00:21:36.789
to Plano. Well, great. You want to go there?

00:21:36.890 --> 00:21:38.029
They don't specialize in it. I was like, Terry,

00:21:38.150 --> 00:21:39.750
can you calm the fuck down? Yeah, you're making

00:21:39.750 --> 00:21:41.970
it worse. Yeah, just take me to Centennial. It's

00:21:41.970 --> 00:21:44.670
right here. And it's a reputable hospital. There's

00:21:44.670 --> 00:21:46.029
nothing wrong with that. It's reputable, yeah,

00:21:46.089 --> 00:21:47.690
sure. Well, it's Baylor Scott White now. It's

00:21:47.690 --> 00:21:49.849
not called Centennial, but it'll always be Centennial.

00:21:49.890 --> 00:21:51.250
Oh, I didn't know that. They changed the name?

00:21:51.309 --> 00:21:53.710
They have Centennial language in there still.

00:21:54.009 --> 00:21:56.410
Is it Baylor Scott White Centennial? Could be.

00:21:56.940 --> 00:21:59.299
It's Baylor, Scott, and White. Interesting. Where's

00:21:59.299 --> 00:22:03.400
Scott Black? Is this the new DEI thing? It is.

00:22:03.500 --> 00:22:06.240
It is. It's reverted back. Interesting. Yeah.

00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:09.640
So, you know, they released me. It's great. I

00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:11.920
head straight home, and you guys changed gears,

00:22:11.980 --> 00:22:14.559
went over to Chuck's house, Mr. Producer. I said

00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:17.579
you guys, meaning Paul and his wife, and Shelly

00:22:17.579 --> 00:22:19.700
went over there. And you guys pre -gamed, and

00:22:19.700 --> 00:22:21.259
then you headed over there, and then we met you

00:22:21.259 --> 00:22:24.420
over there, surprisingly. Yeah. And I had...

00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:28.200
unbeknownst to you guys, even my wife had bought

00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:31.980
a 10 -pack of Elton John glasses with all bedazzled

00:22:31.980 --> 00:22:34.940
and different colors. Yeah, that was fun. Yeah,

00:22:34.940 --> 00:22:36.339
it was fun. And you know what's funny? The band,

00:22:36.500 --> 00:22:38.480
all the members of the band had the exact same

00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:40.640
glasses on. Oh, really? Yeah. So you look like

00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:42.700
groupies of the band. We totally did. Yeah, we

00:22:42.700 --> 00:22:46.589
did, but I was thinking we're going to... I went

00:22:46.589 --> 00:22:48.730
above and beyond. No one else is going to have

00:22:48.730 --> 00:22:52.690
these. And my daughter, we've got all kinds of

00:22:52.690 --> 00:22:55.910
craft stuff at the house. So she prints up this

00:22:55.910 --> 00:22:59.609
Elton John logo and puts it on one of my black

00:22:59.609 --> 00:23:02.690
t -shirts. And it looked terrific. Oh, it's a

00:23:02.690 --> 00:23:04.690
nice shirt. It looked terrific, man. She did

00:23:04.690 --> 00:23:06.769
such a great job on it. So you were ready to

00:23:06.769 --> 00:23:09.049
roll. I was ready to rock. Actually, I was ready

00:23:09.049 --> 00:23:11.089
to go, but I was still, I was tired as shit.

00:23:11.210 --> 00:23:13.809
And I did not feel good. And oh my God, I got

00:23:13.809 --> 00:23:16.140
cranky as fuck towards the end. You did. Well,

00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:17.779
yeah, but that had nothing to do with... That

00:23:17.779 --> 00:23:19.759
would have happened on any rebel night with the

00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:23.599
way things were going. Well, they got so intoxicated.

00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:26.440
Your wife, God bless her, and my wife, holy shit,

00:23:26.619 --> 00:23:30.200
were over -the -top drunk. And for my wife, it

00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:32.220
doesn't take a lot for her to get obnoxious.

00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:34.420
She can be that way when she's not even drunk.

00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:39.079
No, I say that because when she's in a good mood

00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:40.880
and she wants to have a good time and she's had

00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:44.690
maybe a couple of drinks, she just... I want

00:23:44.690 --> 00:23:46.950
to have fun mode kicks in. I felt kind of bad

00:23:46.950 --> 00:23:49.930
because I was dickish, but at the same time -

00:23:49.930 --> 00:23:52.329
It was fine. I did not feel good. I was kind

00:23:52.329 --> 00:23:55.089
of like, they were dancing all around me, and

00:23:55.089 --> 00:23:57.329
dude - He's like, get away. I don't like that.

00:23:57.630 --> 00:24:00.369
There are certain times I'm an extrovert, but

00:24:00.369 --> 00:24:01.930
there are certain times I'm an introvert, and

00:24:01.930 --> 00:24:03.700
when I want to be an introvert - Get the fuck

00:24:03.700 --> 00:24:05.339
away from me. Right. And they're all like, hey,

00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:06.740
Sean, hey, Sean. He's like, fuck off, fuck off,

00:24:06.740 --> 00:24:08.259
fuck off. Dude, they were all. It was like Kim,

00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:10.900
Tara, and Shelly all kind of like grumping and

00:24:10.900 --> 00:24:13.839
grinding, and I'm just like, oh, my God. Safety

00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:19.460
dome, me, now. So, yeah, so the opening act was

00:24:19.460 --> 00:24:23.460
the Elton Johns, and they were sketchy. Not sketchy.

00:24:23.819 --> 00:24:26.539
You want to hear something? Yeah, let's pull

00:24:26.539 --> 00:24:30.180
up a little trailer here. That wasn't from that

00:24:30.180 --> 00:24:40.259
night, but yeah, okay. He wasn't bad. But he

00:24:40.259 --> 00:24:44.660
wasn't good. It wasn't great. It wasn't a four

00:24:44.660 --> 00:24:48.740
-string band. Okay, I get it. They had an impressive

00:24:48.740 --> 00:24:51.500
setup on the stage, but they didn't have, it

00:24:51.500 --> 00:24:53.579
wasn't very well EQ'd. I know if Jeff were there,

00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:56.299
he, I mean, because. Even Chuck knows, but if

00:24:56.299 --> 00:24:58.339
Jeff were there, he and I would look at each

00:24:58.339 --> 00:25:01.940
other the whole time. Yeah, this is... The female

00:25:01.940 --> 00:25:03.880
singer on there, even though she was an okay

00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:06.359
singer, oh my God, she was turned up too loud

00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:09.559
and she wasn't hitting those notes. And I was

00:25:09.559 --> 00:25:13.160
kind of like, dude, this isn't... This isn't

00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:14.960
working the way they want to. She was not on

00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:18.619
pitch or not on the right. But all in all, if

00:25:18.619 --> 00:25:21.259
you like Elton John and you like his songs, it

00:25:21.259 --> 00:25:23.759
was a great sing -along. It was. And I recommend.

00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:28.180
Did they do Philadelphia Freedom? Damn it. I'm

00:25:28.180 --> 00:25:30.660
not sure. With Kiki D? Yeah, they did. Yeah.

00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:33.339
I mean, they played all of them. I mean. They

00:25:33.339 --> 00:25:35.680
really did. They played. So this is the Elton

00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:42.609
Johns. They did not play Nikita. I was a little

00:25:42.609 --> 00:25:44.849
disappointed by that. They didn't play Sacrifice,

00:25:44.849 --> 00:25:46.289
either. Those are two of my favorite songs. What

00:25:46.289 --> 00:25:51.190
about the Lion King songs? No, they did not play

00:25:51.190 --> 00:25:54.809
the Lion King songs. How does it go? Jeff, why

00:25:54.809 --> 00:25:56.309
don't you sing it for us? Actually, I don't even

00:25:56.309 --> 00:25:58.210
remember, but I know he sang some. There's a

00:25:58.210 --> 00:26:00.849
couple of them. Can you feel the love tonight?

00:26:01.369 --> 00:26:12.839
There you go. That's it. They don't say that.

00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:15.700
Oh, I thought that was the barrage of giraffes

00:26:15.700 --> 00:26:17.599
behind them with the coral. It was more like

00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:23.819
a rhino. God. I thought it was a good experience.

00:26:23.980 --> 00:26:26.420
I'm being harsh. I'm being harsh. I have this

00:26:26.420 --> 00:26:29.259
tendency to kind of try to really analyze the

00:26:29.259 --> 00:26:31.880
musical talent up there. So the lady kind of

00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:34.430
sounds like. was the challenge the problem well

00:26:34.430 --> 00:26:37.730
and she was okay but dude she was a backup singer

00:26:37.730 --> 00:26:40.450
and they had her voc they had her set up as a

00:26:40.450 --> 00:26:43.829
lead and and she was way loud out those tunes

00:26:43.829 --> 00:26:45.630
and she's supposed to be doing and she was way

00:26:45.630 --> 00:26:48.950
back here trying to you know it was so loud i

00:26:48.950 --> 00:26:51.089
was like dude Turn her down. She was trying to

00:26:51.089 --> 00:26:53.230
harmonize, and it wasn't working. But anyway,

00:26:53.329 --> 00:26:54.450
it was still fun. And I was trying to break into

00:26:54.450 --> 00:26:56.990
the X32 Behringer Wi -Fi. You were not. Oh, I

00:26:56.990 --> 00:26:58.630
was 100 % trying to get into there. Oh, my God.

00:26:58.630 --> 00:27:00.109
That's so funny. And I couldn't figure out the

00:27:00.109 --> 00:27:01.690
password. They obviously changed the password.

00:27:01.869 --> 00:27:06.549
The password is password. No. Password one. Right.

00:27:07.569 --> 00:27:09.990
Anyway, so it was fun. It was fun. Everybody

00:27:09.990 --> 00:27:11.670
was singing, having a great time. Everybody was

00:27:11.670 --> 00:27:13.630
jiggling and all that kind of stuff. Jiggling.

00:27:13.869 --> 00:27:15.710
Jiggling. Yeah. Everybody in there jiggled. By

00:27:15.710 --> 00:27:20.230
the way, it's the typical audience. Our age.

00:27:20.650 --> 00:27:23.430
55 plus. And everyone wanted to go there. Because

00:27:23.430 --> 00:27:25.950
when I purchased tickets, I think I purchased

00:27:25.950 --> 00:27:28.269
tickets Wednesday. Because after the podcast,

00:27:28.410 --> 00:27:30.009
we talked about it, and I committed to it. And

00:27:30.009 --> 00:27:32.529
on Wednesday, usually there's tickets. Yeah.

00:27:32.529 --> 00:27:35.089
And there was tickets, but. Not many. Oh, my

00:27:35.089 --> 00:27:37.130
God. They had bought all of them. We were stuck

00:27:37.130 --> 00:27:39.049
in the back. And the irony is there were two

00:27:39.049 --> 00:27:41.049
tables left, and they were right next to each

00:27:41.049 --> 00:27:43.069
other. Yeah. We gobbled them up pretty quick,

00:27:43.190 --> 00:27:46.859
man. You didn't get the standard. bar or whatever

00:27:46.859 --> 00:27:50.119
that is. All that was gone. Tall round tables

00:27:50.119 --> 00:27:53.640
in the back. It was perfect if you wanted just

00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:55.799
drinks like that, but when we got there, I was

00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:57.539
hungry. I hadn't eaten hardly anything all day,

00:27:57.619 --> 00:28:00.599
so I was like, I got a Mexican pizza and I got

00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:03.619
a chicken sandwich. A pizza and a sandwich. He

00:28:03.619 --> 00:28:08.400
did. Actually, I thought it was nachos, honestly.

00:28:08.539 --> 00:28:13.940
It was a full, thick Mexican pizza. I was like,

00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:15.400
damn, there's a lot of shit going on in here.

00:28:15.539 --> 00:28:18.119
Did it have beans and lettuce? It was kind of

00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:21.680
like eating a taco in the shape of a pizza. It

00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:24.799
was like a super large tostada. It was compounded

00:28:24.799 --> 00:28:31.789
with two... Why? Why do you have to switch into

00:28:31.789 --> 00:28:33.970
El Paso? I don't know. It's automatic. El Paso

00:28:33.970 --> 00:28:37.329
mode. Oh, that's so funny. You know, some flautas.

00:28:37.630 --> 00:28:40.410
Yeah. Flautas. Yeah, you ordered a bunch of shit,

00:28:40.490 --> 00:28:43.289
not to mention three buckets of beer. Good lord.

00:28:43.690 --> 00:28:45.670
Well, I mean, look. It was a good deal. It was

00:28:45.670 --> 00:28:47.109
a good deal, though. Well, first of all, she

00:28:47.109 --> 00:28:49.390
lied. It was not 20 bucks, because it was 20

00:28:49.390 --> 00:28:53.130
bucks for five beers. I was like, why wouldn't

00:28:53.130 --> 00:28:55.069
you get that? Yeah, it's a no -brainer. Yeah,

00:28:55.069 --> 00:28:56.450
so I was like, all right, well, I'm probably

00:28:56.450 --> 00:28:58.430
going to drink two or three of these, and I'm

00:28:58.430 --> 00:29:03.029
good. Well, I drank two, or two and a half, and

00:29:03.029 --> 00:29:04.990
then we had another guest that showed up. Shout

00:29:04.990 --> 00:29:09.170
out to Carl and Teresa. They showed up, and Carl

00:29:09.170 --> 00:29:10.750
was drinking out of the bucket. I said, help

00:29:10.750 --> 00:29:14.480
yourself. We ordered another bucket. And I had

00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:16.480
another two beers. He had three. And then we

00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:18.000
ordered a third one. And I was kind of like,

00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:20.380
I'm done. I'm tapped out. In fact, I think I

00:29:20.380 --> 00:29:23.200
abandoned three or four beers. They got consumed

00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:26.599
in rapid pace at the very end. Oh. Yeah, not

00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:29.500
to worry. Chuck was like, we can't leave these

00:29:29.500 --> 00:29:33.059
here. Man down. Yeah, man down. Man down. And

00:29:33.059 --> 00:29:35.180
I was like, have at it. Well, I was designated

00:29:35.180 --> 00:29:37.500
driver. Did he bring his funnel? I was designated

00:29:37.500 --> 00:29:40.000
driver and I had one drink all night. Oh, that's

00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:41.900
good. That was hilarious. Is that not crazy?

00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:44.180
That's very good. That's amazing. That would

00:29:44.180 --> 00:29:46.920
never happen. The drink was a three liter bourbon

00:29:46.920 --> 00:29:50.940
and coke. Was it one of our drinks or one of

00:29:50.940 --> 00:29:54.180
the bar drinks? No, it was just a regular one

00:29:54.180 --> 00:29:57.980
shot of well bourbon and whiskey. I did really

00:29:57.980 --> 00:30:02.710
good. And I snuck in one single... Well, one

00:30:02.710 --> 00:30:05.289
little mini, what is it called? Mini bottles

00:30:05.289 --> 00:30:08.509
of Still Austin. You know, you did it. You showed

00:30:08.509 --> 00:30:10.650
me that you had it, and then I never saw you

00:30:10.650 --> 00:30:12.309
consume it, and I never saw you put it away.

00:30:12.349 --> 00:30:14.619
So, nicely done. Yeah, it was right in front

00:30:14.619 --> 00:30:16.619
of everybody, too. I wondered if you had consumed

00:30:16.619 --> 00:30:19.039
it. I was like, oh, 100%. I didn't see you again.

00:30:19.619 --> 00:30:21.920
100%, and I put it in the bottom of the beer

00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:24.880
bucket as she took it away. Oh, very nice. So

00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:26.279
she wouldn't dump it and go, oh, what's that?

00:30:26.500 --> 00:30:28.539
No, she did not be like, I don't know, what's

00:30:28.539 --> 00:30:30.500
going on? Someone must have dropped it in there

00:30:30.500 --> 00:30:32.359
on your way over there. Did you put that in there?

00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:36.559
But when we got the bill, here we go. So first

00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:40.960
of all, it was still expensive. You ordered a

00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:43.400
ton of shit, man, and your wife was drinking

00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:45.500
doubles. You had like eight entrees. The doubles

00:30:45.500 --> 00:30:49.059
were 17 apiece. I had the chicken sandwich. Yes,

00:30:49.059 --> 00:30:52.740
do the math on that. Dude, she drank 11 of them.

00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:55.519
What is that, 18? Wow, 11 times 17, do that math.

00:30:57.019 --> 00:31:00.140
My times tables I've lost. Well, hold on. Let

00:31:00.140 --> 00:31:02.259
me get my pocket abacus. Well, honestly, she

00:31:02.259 --> 00:31:04.960
had three of them, and then she had two or three

00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:10.410
singles. It was a lot. It doesn't matter. She

00:31:10.410 --> 00:31:14.710
was, by definition, intoxicated. And she says

00:31:14.710 --> 00:31:16.410
she remembers everything until she got to the

00:31:16.410 --> 00:31:18.349
car. And she doesn't remember a whole lot from

00:31:18.349 --> 00:31:22.650
that. So my son, Austin, picked us up. But we're

00:31:22.650 --> 00:31:25.049
reviewing the bill because we get the bill. And

00:31:25.049 --> 00:31:30.049
they make it so complicated. When you're adding

00:31:30.049 --> 00:31:32.369
things up, it's kind of like they do a subtotal.

00:31:32.670 --> 00:31:36.549
And then they add another subtotal down. below,

00:31:36.670 --> 00:31:38.789
and I'm like, why did they add that down there?

00:31:38.869 --> 00:31:41.269
Because they're separating different taxes, and

00:31:41.269 --> 00:31:45.329
there's a DWG tax? What was that? There was like

00:31:45.329 --> 00:31:48.410
a service tax, there was a regular tax, and then

00:31:48.410 --> 00:31:51.109
there was a credit card. Yeah, there was a credit

00:31:51.109 --> 00:31:53.210
card fee. I had never seen that before. I was

00:31:53.210 --> 00:31:55.650
like, what the fuck? Well, the company's already

00:31:55.650 --> 00:31:57.170
eaten that anymore, so they're passing it on.

00:31:57.890 --> 00:32:00.349
Wow. Because every time that company swipes,

00:32:00.349 --> 00:32:04.640
they charge 3%, 5%, or whatever. Well, I mean.

00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:07.019
I get it. They're cashing that on. Well, that's.

00:32:07.900 --> 00:32:10.519
So what do they want us to do? I mean, they want

00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:13.799
us to come in with cash, but people don't want

00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:15.099
to use cash. They're like, we don't take cash

00:32:15.099 --> 00:32:18.740
anymore. Chuck does. Oh, yeah. It saves us three

00:32:18.740 --> 00:32:21.579
and a half percent. Yeah. Son of a bitch. So

00:32:21.579 --> 00:32:25.519
then after that, it was the Brian Adams. Yeah,

00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:27.319
Brian Adams gets out there. And I got to tell

00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:32.339
you, Brian Adams shared later on that he woke

00:32:32.339 --> 00:32:35.150
up without a voice. And he was sick. He didn't

00:32:35.150 --> 00:32:38.470
feel 100%. Right. So he had spent the day doing

00:32:38.470 --> 00:32:40.549
what he could to make himself feel better. Gargling.

00:32:40.930 --> 00:32:44.049
And he... He battled through it again. He did

00:32:44.049 --> 00:32:47.529
muscle through it. He did sound somewhat like

00:32:47.529 --> 00:32:52.130
Bryan Adams. But it was just... It almost sounded

00:32:52.130 --> 00:32:54.230
like a cartoon character voice. Because when

00:32:54.230 --> 00:32:55.670
he talked normal, it was kind of like, oh, that's

00:32:55.670 --> 00:32:58.089
like a normal voice. But when he sang, it was

00:32:58.089 --> 00:33:01.930
like he contorted it. To make it like Bart Simpson

00:33:01.930 --> 00:33:04.849
style. Kind of Elmo -y. Everything I do. Everything

00:33:04.849 --> 00:33:07.309
I do. And it sounded like he had something caught

00:33:07.309 --> 00:33:10.769
in the back of his throat. I do it for you. All

00:33:10.769 --> 00:33:14.650
right, Edith. So I wasn't drinking, and I don't

00:33:14.650 --> 00:33:18.329
remember any of that. I'll play a little. Do

00:33:18.329 --> 00:33:20.549
you have any of their live stuff? I think so.

00:33:20.710 --> 00:33:29.609
Is that him? Is that actually them? No, that's

00:33:29.609 --> 00:33:31.769
not him. Is that not? Okay, there's another man

00:33:31.769 --> 00:33:36.029
that also does. I'll cut it. That's definitely

00:33:36.029 --> 00:33:38.569
not him. Yeah, well, that's all right. I mean,

00:33:38.589 --> 00:33:41.809
look, I enjoy, I really like Brian Adams. Yeah,

00:33:41.809 --> 00:33:44.509
he's good. He's going to be up in Windstar. Yeah,

00:33:44.509 --> 00:33:47.789
well. The real one. The real one, yes. Yes. Well,

00:33:47.789 --> 00:33:50.950
when? Coming up here real soon. Huh. Like March.

00:33:51.410 --> 00:33:52.990
Actually, if he hasn't already been up there.

00:33:53.390 --> 00:33:54.930
Look at Windstar. He's going to be the one over

00:33:54.930 --> 00:33:57.849
at Lucas. arena or whatever it's called, the

00:33:57.849 --> 00:34:00.930
new facility out there. I heard it's nice. Yeah.

00:34:01.069 --> 00:34:05.349
It's a multi -level, right? I haven't been. It's

00:34:05.349 --> 00:34:07.029
like the Choctaw one that's got an upper deck.

00:34:07.250 --> 00:34:10.110
See, that's why we need to get some sort of RV.

00:34:10.210 --> 00:34:12.030
One of us needs to get an RV that we can drive.

00:34:12.230 --> 00:34:13.989
March 2nd. And we can park out. There's something

00:34:13.989 --> 00:34:16.710
that sleeps like four to six people. March 2nd.

00:34:16.710 --> 00:34:18.869
That's this weekend. That's Saturday. Yeah, that's

00:34:18.869 --> 00:34:22.409
Saturday. Sunday. How about your tickets? What

00:34:22.409 --> 00:34:25.579
are they going for? Let's see here. You know

00:34:25.579 --> 00:34:27.880
it's going to be something stupid. I know. $180.

00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:30.659
Well, it's too late to invite Larry out there.

00:34:32.340 --> 00:34:35.659
$65. That's not horrible. $105. That's way back.

00:34:36.019 --> 00:34:39.280
Yeah, that's... There's not a whole lot available.

00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:43.219
$35. What's in the middle section? Nothing. Nothing.

00:34:43.420 --> 00:34:46.980
$105. Yeah, I take those $105 ones. No, that's

00:34:46.980 --> 00:34:51.409
the section $105. No, it's $105. In section 303,

00:34:51.449 --> 00:34:53.949
it's $115. I wouldn't mind that. That's not bad,

00:34:54.090 --> 00:34:56.250
actually. Yeah. There's only two of them, though.

00:34:56.710 --> 00:34:58.710
We'd be all spread out, put it that way. I mean,

00:34:58.730 --> 00:35:00.150
we're not going to buy them now, but I mean,

00:35:00.230 --> 00:35:03.130
you know. You know what you need to do, like

00:35:03.130 --> 00:35:05.989
what I did for Hans Zimmer that day? Go out there

00:35:05.989 --> 00:35:11.130
to StubHub or SeatGeek, and those will all drop.

00:35:12.110 --> 00:35:16.119
Right. The price. To $1. Potentially. Yeah, you

00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:18.139
got a hell of a deal when you... Oh, yeah. Yeah,

00:35:18.199 --> 00:35:21.760
so it was... I tried one last time. I had like

00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:24.400
three hours before the show started. I was like...

00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:26.380
How much did you get them for? And somebody was

00:35:26.380 --> 00:35:27.940
panicking. I don't remember, but they were going

00:35:27.940 --> 00:35:30.719
for like 800 bucks a ticket. Oh, damn. And I

00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:33.119
got them for under 200 bucks. Yeah, somebody

00:35:33.119 --> 00:35:34.619
was panicking. They were like, shit, I'm not

00:35:34.619 --> 00:35:35.440
going to be able to... I didn't make something

00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:37.480
out of this. Right, right. Yeah, they were good

00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:40.780
seats, too. That's kind of like my playoffs for

00:35:40.780 --> 00:35:43.869
the... Dallas Cowboys in San Francisco, man.

00:35:43.989 --> 00:35:46.909
I forget exactly how much I paid, but the guy

00:35:46.909 --> 00:35:48.650
that's sitting next to me, he paid like a fraction

00:35:48.650 --> 00:35:51.090
for his ticket. I was just like, son of a bitch.

00:35:51.309 --> 00:35:53.670
You're like, I don't want to hear that. I thought

00:35:53.670 --> 00:35:56.949
about that. These bands, if you have flexibility,

00:35:57.210 --> 00:35:59.530
wait until the day of and go look because people

00:35:59.530 --> 00:36:01.329
are going to try to dump their tickets. Yeah,

00:36:01.349 --> 00:36:03.690
sure. And if you have flexibility, that's when

00:36:03.690 --> 00:36:05.429
you buy it. You may not be all sitting together

00:36:05.429 --> 00:36:08.070
if you're trying to buy a big number of them.

00:36:08.849 --> 00:36:12.059
There's Daryl Hall's coming. Ooh, Chicago. Chicago

00:36:12.059 --> 00:36:15.679
sold out. Santana, not interested in Santana.

00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:19.659
No, I'm not either. Yeah, neither am I. Oh, no,

00:36:19.699 --> 00:36:21.980
it says seats added, not sold out for Chicago.

00:36:22.659 --> 00:36:24.679
Interesting. What is that, like standing room

00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:27.119
only kind of thing? They have a mosh pit in the

00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:32.019
middle. Oh. Yeah, maybe. Philly Buck. Interesting.

00:36:32.539 --> 00:36:35.059
Yeah. Yeah, I would like to see a concert there.

00:36:35.099 --> 00:36:37.800
I think that would be a nice venue for that.

00:36:39.159 --> 00:36:43.260
Well, I enjoy going to these venues. It's got

00:36:43.260 --> 00:36:44.940
to be better than what was there before. The

00:36:44.940 --> 00:36:48.840
thing is, it would be nice. I mean, you think

00:36:48.840 --> 00:36:51.500
about the ride home back. I wouldn't necessarily

00:36:51.500 --> 00:36:55.139
not want to spend the night, but it just adds

00:36:55.139 --> 00:36:59.139
another layer of not getting home until. Yeah,

00:36:59.139 --> 00:37:01.860
and it's part of the fun. After the thing, you

00:37:01.860 --> 00:37:04.139
kind of visit the bars and the casino, and you

00:37:04.139 --> 00:37:05.960
have a good time. You dance a little bit, and

00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:07.780
then you go to bed right there. There was nothing.

00:37:08.879 --> 00:37:11.480
in my opinion, than that concert we went to where

00:37:11.480 --> 00:37:14.199
after the concert we went to was the Journey

00:37:14.199 --> 00:37:16.699
tribute band. I thought you were talking about

00:37:16.699 --> 00:37:19.070
the old guy who was hitting on you. That was

00:37:19.070 --> 00:37:21.329
Paul. That was Paul. No, no, that you and the

00:37:21.329 --> 00:37:23.110
boater. He was not hitting on people. Yeah, the

00:37:23.110 --> 00:37:26.010
general contractor. Yeah, he looked like, oh

00:37:26.010 --> 00:37:31.769
my God, who was the guy at Cheers, Frazier Crane?

00:37:31.829 --> 00:37:34.289
He looked like Frazier. He totally looked like

00:37:34.289 --> 00:37:36.050
Frazier. He had this super large head. He was

00:37:36.050 --> 00:37:38.429
tall and the big muffled muffin top head. Well,

00:37:38.429 --> 00:37:40.550
he supposedly was the entrepreneur who started

00:37:40.550 --> 00:37:43.289
the Yardhouse. Is that what he said? Yeah, he

00:37:43.289 --> 00:37:44.969
goes, yeah, I started the Yardhouse and I sold

00:37:44.969 --> 00:37:48.280
it. Yeah, but then he said something about, I

00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:49.880
have a boat. Yeah, he goes. Would you like to

00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:52.639
come see my boat? He did not say that. Yes, he

00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:55.019
did. He did. Was it a boat or a dinghy? It was,

00:37:55.099 --> 00:37:57.099
well. Yeah, I don't know, man. I don't know.

00:37:57.199 --> 00:37:58.980
We're not really sure. I remember he was talking

00:37:58.980 --> 00:38:00.860
to Sean. He goes, I have a boat, Sean. Yeah,

00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:02.780
and Sean was like, I'll go to your boat. Talked

00:38:02.780 --> 00:38:04.960
to my general contractor friend here. And we're

00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:06.519
like, Sean, you're not going with him. Yeah,

00:38:06.619 --> 00:38:09.760
that's not happening. Like a moth to a flame,

00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:13.440
not. He likes laying wood. Wow. Anyway, that

00:38:13.440 --> 00:38:18.239
Journey cover band was fantastic. I enjoyed the

00:38:18.239 --> 00:38:19.840
hell out of that. We were singing it. That was

00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:22.380
one of the best nights ever. Yeah. It was called

00:38:22.380 --> 00:38:24.860
Infinite Journey. Yes. I think it was something

00:38:24.860 --> 00:38:26.159
similar to that. That's exactly what the name

00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:28.480
was. Infinite Journey. Yeah. They were good.

00:38:28.579 --> 00:38:32.219
And we sang. We danced. I was toasty. and it

00:38:32.219 --> 00:38:35.340
was good. We had lots of... And we went back

00:38:35.340 --> 00:38:37.960
to the hotel room, and I probably gurgled and

00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:40.360
sounded like I was going to die because I didn't

00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:43.019
have my CPAP machine back then. Was that the

00:38:43.019 --> 00:38:46.099
hotel that I got with the... I don't know, with

00:38:46.099 --> 00:38:49.400
the killed birds? What the heck was that all

00:38:49.400 --> 00:38:51.659
about? That was the 38th special, wasn't it,

00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:54.119
Kansas? Okay, that was a different one then.

00:38:54.179 --> 00:38:57.340
But still, I mean. So bad. So for our listeners

00:38:57.340 --> 00:38:59.639
out there, when we go to some of these concerts,

00:38:59.900 --> 00:39:02.360
we will stay the night, we'll get there a little

00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:04.079
early, we'll have dinner, and we'll go to the

00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:06.059
concert, we'll get lit, then we'll come back

00:39:06.059 --> 00:39:09.280
to the hotel room. And someone's usually in charge

00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:11.659
of kind of organizing all the things. Okay, time

00:39:11.659 --> 00:39:13.659
out. No, no, no, no, no. You don't get your time

00:39:13.659 --> 00:39:19.000
here. Oh, okay. Let me go. Okay. Paul kind of

00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:21.800
elected to take on the responsibility. I don't

00:39:21.800 --> 00:39:23.559
know if it was elected or if Barry kind of did

00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:25.599
the Jedi mind trick on him, but somehow Paul

00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:30.380
was the nominee to get the hotel accommodations.

00:39:30.820 --> 00:39:33.239
So he arranges it. Do I have my time now? He

00:39:33.239 --> 00:39:35.159
failed. All right, go ahead, go ahead. First

00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:37.480
off, everybody's too cheap to stay at the casino.

00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:40.280
It's like 400 bucks a night, isn't it? That part

00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:42.619
matters. Right? Well, it's $400 a night. Right.

00:39:42.699 --> 00:39:44.639
I get it. So we have to find a hotel that's in

00:39:44.639 --> 00:39:48.280
Gainesville for Windstar or, what is it? Not

00:39:48.280 --> 00:39:52.380
Denton. Dane. Denison. What's the one? Denison.

00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:56.500
Well, there's one in Durant, right? Durant or

00:39:56.500 --> 00:39:58.420
Denison. Yeah, Durant or Denison. And you're

00:39:58.420 --> 00:40:01.340
looking for these little shitty, dinky country

00:40:01.340 --> 00:40:04.539
motels. Well, this one was. It was a shitty little

00:40:04.539 --> 00:40:07.699
motel. Yeah. And then you look at the stars and

00:40:07.699 --> 00:40:09.239
you look at the ratings and you're like, okay,

00:40:09.260 --> 00:40:12.179
well, we shouldn't get killed there. Well, someone

00:40:12.179 --> 00:40:14.460
did. Well, that one, we could have been killed

00:40:14.460 --> 00:40:16.659
there. Yeah, and your stuff's stolen. I love

00:40:16.659 --> 00:40:18.099
it when the first thing you show up and you drive

00:40:18.099 --> 00:40:19.750
up and there's a little sign that says... Not

00:40:19.750 --> 00:40:21.889
responsible for stuff left in cars. Oh, and it

00:40:21.889 --> 00:40:23.710
was great. Yeah, and then we go in. Thanks, Paul.

00:40:23.909 --> 00:40:25.889
No, and then we go into the lobby and there's

00:40:25.889 --> 00:40:30.510
an old man bleeding profusely from his forehead.

00:40:30.750 --> 00:40:33.190
And we're like, what the fuck is going on? Fuck

00:40:33.190 --> 00:40:35.489
if you didn't give me an ADD compliant bathroom.

00:40:35.650 --> 00:40:38.530
I fell and smashed my face. I was like, good

00:40:38.530 --> 00:40:41.530
lord. It gets worse. Then we all get to our rooms

00:40:41.530 --> 00:40:43.650
and we're all sending each other pictures of

00:40:43.650 --> 00:40:46.130
our rooms. They're terrible. And you've got like

00:40:46.130 --> 00:40:49.019
these mitigating air movers in your room. Oh,

00:40:49.019 --> 00:40:50.559
yeah, I walk in. Because the room was wet from

00:40:50.559 --> 00:40:52.900
the condensation line from the HVAC system. It

00:40:52.900 --> 00:40:55.420
smelled like mold. They're doing disaster recovery

00:40:55.420 --> 00:40:58.460
in my room. The fire alarm hanging from the ceiling.

00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:02.320
No battery in it. With no battery. Then Sean

00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:04.340
got his black line out, and there was just sperm

00:41:04.340 --> 00:41:08.599
everywhere. Don't ever do that. Well, that's

00:41:08.599 --> 00:41:10.440
when the jokes began. Everybody started posting

00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:13.219
pictures of a chalk line of an outline of a body.

00:41:13.619 --> 00:41:15.699
And then, I mean, it just got worse. They were

00:41:15.699 --> 00:41:17.500
just grabbing internet photos, right? It was

00:41:17.500 --> 00:41:20.119
bad. John and I were in the same room, and we

00:41:20.119 --> 00:41:21.800
walked. I don't remember who it was. We walked

00:41:21.800 --> 00:41:25.940
into the bathroom, and there was a big, greasy

00:41:25.940 --> 00:41:28.800
handprint on the mirror. Oh. Like someone was

00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:30.739
bracing themselves. Oh, and you know what they

00:41:30.739 --> 00:41:32.760
were doing. And it was right in the middle, big

00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:36.800
old hand. I was just like. You stayed in the

00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:39.800
ditty suite? Oh, it was nasty. It was a nasty

00:41:39.800 --> 00:41:43.480
hotel. Yeah, don't. Like, I echo your no blacklight.

00:41:43.559 --> 00:41:45.579
It's a no blacklight hotel. Yeah, I don't recommend

00:41:45.579 --> 00:41:48.039
that in any hotel room. Any hotel room. No, and

00:41:48.039 --> 00:41:50.340
Sean has a thing where he doesn't sleep under

00:41:50.340 --> 00:41:53.280
the covers. Even at nice hotels, I didn't sleep

00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:55.599
under the covers at that one. I was on top of

00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:57.739
those covers. I didn't get underneath. In your

00:41:57.739 --> 00:42:00.039
hazmat suit? Oh, I didn't get undressed. I just

00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:04.219
laid down and tried to fall asleep. Yeah, I usually,

00:42:04.340 --> 00:42:05.599
I don't know if I brought a sleeping bag then,

00:42:05.659 --> 00:42:07.199
but I used to bring a little sleeping bag and

00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:09.579
just sleep in that. Well, you know what I accomplished

00:42:09.579 --> 00:42:12.980
is that I never am in charge of booking the hotel

00:42:12.980 --> 00:42:15.699
for any group outings again. So that worked out

00:42:15.699 --> 00:42:19.360
in my favor. Well, we also had like a bird holocaust

00:42:19.360 --> 00:42:21.619
burger scene. Dude, it was insane. What is up

00:42:21.619 --> 00:42:23.599
with that? That was so strange. First off, the

00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:27.099
pool was empty. Wasn't it pool drained? Yeah,

00:42:27.099 --> 00:42:30.159
it was drained. So it was obviously not in service.

00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:32.820
And then all around the pool were mounds and

00:42:32.820 --> 00:42:36.760
mounds of bird feathers. It was like 10 ,000

00:42:36.760 --> 00:42:40.619
birds had some sort of conference. Orgy or something.

00:42:40.619 --> 00:42:43.139
And they all died. And they got in a big bar

00:42:43.139 --> 00:42:45.159
fight, a big brawl. There's feathers everywhere.

00:42:45.500 --> 00:42:46.920
There's feathers everywhere. It was like a big

00:42:46.920 --> 00:42:51.460
chicken cock fight, you know? It was... It's

00:42:51.460 --> 00:42:53.539
astounding how many feathers there were. I didn't

00:42:53.539 --> 00:42:56.699
understand it. They were everywhere. It was everywhere,

00:42:56.940 --> 00:42:58.780
Chuck. But there were no dead birds, though.

00:42:58.880 --> 00:43:00.539
There were no dead birds. We didn't see any carcasses

00:43:00.539 --> 00:43:02.119
anywhere, but there were feathers everywhere.

00:43:02.139 --> 00:43:06.119
It might have been like a multi -migration resting

00:43:06.119 --> 00:43:07.920
place. All right there? I don't know what it

00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:10.320
was. I know. It didn't make any sense. I think

00:43:10.320 --> 00:43:13.480
someone just opened up a bunch of goose pillows

00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:16.030
and just... Let him fly. I don't know what it

00:43:16.030 --> 00:43:19.309
was, but it was bizarre, and I was afraid we

00:43:19.309 --> 00:43:21.969
were going to get some sort of bird flu. Yes.

00:43:22.210 --> 00:43:24.570
All right, so speaking of concerts, there are

00:43:24.570 --> 00:43:26.530
some in Irving. I know that's not our favorite

00:43:26.530 --> 00:43:29.429
venue because it's outdoors, and usually it's

00:43:29.429 --> 00:43:33.690
in the summer, and it's miserable. But Toto and...

00:43:33.690 --> 00:43:39.989
What is it? Toto and Chris Cross. Christopher

00:43:39.989 --> 00:43:42.869
Cross? Christopher Cross. And Men at Work. Celine.

00:43:43.730 --> 00:43:49.039
How's it go? I sound disliked, Christopher. No,

00:43:49.079 --> 00:43:51.440
no, no, please go ahead. Yes. What did he say?

00:43:51.579 --> 00:43:54.639
He heard it. Did you hear it, Sean? Okay, anyway,

00:43:54.679 --> 00:43:56.579
that was Christopher Cross somehow. I'm not really

00:43:56.579 --> 00:44:00.139
sure how. But, and Men at Work. Nailed it. And

00:44:00.139 --> 00:44:02.619
then there was also 38 Special, and Kansas is

00:44:02.619 --> 00:44:06.760
returning to Irving. Soundbite. I don't, oh,

00:44:06.760 --> 00:44:09.579
that's definitely, yeah. He won't do it. Of a

00:44:09.579 --> 00:44:12.079
person being stabbed to death while singing Sailing.

00:44:12.300 --> 00:44:15.380
Oh my God. Hey, I think I nailed it. You did.

00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:17.420
You killed it. It was just Toto with Christopher

00:44:17.420 --> 00:44:19.880
Cross and Men at Work. Yeah. I think it's going

00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:21.460
to be a good one, man. Is that going to be like

00:44:21.460 --> 00:44:24.480
a five -hour concert? It's like Monday night.

00:44:24.780 --> 00:44:27.119
It's a weird one. Yeah. I don't know about that

00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:29.880
one. Hold on. You're talking about the Toto and

00:44:29.880 --> 00:44:33.320
Chris Cross and Men at Work. Yeah. And Men at

00:44:33.320 --> 00:44:35.320
Work are going to be on a Monday night? Yes.

00:44:35.320 --> 00:44:37.840
That is odd. It is odd. But you know, it'd be

00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:41.539
fun. What Monday is that? August 18th. Is that

00:44:41.539 --> 00:44:44.599
a Monday that we typically have off? No. I don't

00:44:44.599 --> 00:44:46.920
know. That's the same time we went and saw the

00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:50.820
Foreigner cover band. Yes, they are a cover band

00:44:50.820 --> 00:44:54.519
now. Anyway, I was thinking about that one. And

00:44:54.519 --> 00:44:59.539
then, of course, like I said, Kansas and 38 Special.

00:44:59.840 --> 00:45:02.800
But I've seen both of them, so multiple times,

00:45:02.940 --> 00:45:07.739
I think. Anyway, so. So August 18th, 2025, the

00:45:07.739 --> 00:45:10.059
23rd day of the year. There are 135 days left.

00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:14.619
33rd Monday. Yeah, there's nothing. The 60th

00:45:14.619 --> 00:45:17.960
day of the summer. The birthstone for this day

00:45:17.960 --> 00:45:21.440
is Peridot. Yeah, I don't know why anybody would

00:45:21.440 --> 00:45:23.519
choose a Monday night for a concert, but whatever.

00:45:23.699 --> 00:45:25.460
Well, especially a long one like that. I know.

00:45:25.500 --> 00:45:28.139
With three bands. Right. Unless they're all doing

00:45:28.139 --> 00:45:30.760
short sets. In the middle of summer, is what

00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:32.719
it sounds like. I know, and they're all old.

00:45:33.179 --> 00:45:35.199
I mean, fuck it. You might as well. I don't know,

00:45:35.219 --> 00:45:37.900
man. That was kind of a tough call. That's probably

00:45:37.900 --> 00:45:40.420
why there's still seats available. But anyway.

00:45:40.860 --> 00:45:44.659
I always question these older bands playing outdoors

00:45:44.659 --> 00:45:48.760
when it's that hot out. Yeah. You know? Yeah,

00:45:48.820 --> 00:45:50.860
I don't know. Anyway, I miss it. We haven't done

00:45:50.860 --> 00:45:54.019
it in a long time. Lost 80s Live. Is that the

00:45:54.019 --> 00:45:59.920
guy from Flock of Seagulls? It does look like

00:45:59.920 --> 00:46:02.550
him. Okay, it looks like him, doesn't it? Without

00:46:02.550 --> 00:46:05.110
the crazy hair? Lost 80s Live. Is that a DJ?

00:46:05.329 --> 00:46:07.309
What does that mean? Is that a DJ? No, there's

00:46:07.309 --> 00:46:09.829
a bunch of bands. Flock of Seagulls, Big Country.

00:46:13.469 --> 00:46:17.469
What does that say? The Vapors? The Vapors. Calling

00:46:17.469 --> 00:46:18.750
them Japanese? You think you're calling them

00:46:18.750 --> 00:46:22.030
Japanese? Oh, yeah. China Crisis. The Icicle

00:46:22.030 --> 00:46:25.639
Works, I know them. Bay Louie some. So they're

00:46:25.639 --> 00:46:27.960
all really playing? Josie Cotton. They're coming

00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:31.119
out there to play two songs? That's on August

00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:34.139
7th. It's just like 500 degrees out there. I

00:46:34.139 --> 00:46:35.800
think I'm turning Japanese. I think I'm turning

00:46:35.800 --> 00:46:37.960
Japanese. I really think so. Oh, we just got

00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:40.179
pinged. We can no longer post on YouTube because

00:46:40.179 --> 00:46:42.760
you just sang that. Well, no, I had a unique

00:46:42.760 --> 00:46:44.719
spin on it. But you know what that song's about.

00:46:44.780 --> 00:46:46.500
I think we've talked about that. Yeah, he's...

00:46:46.500 --> 00:46:49.840
Is it what? Oh, they're masturbating? The guy's

00:46:49.840 --> 00:46:52.000
masturbating into the window. How do we know

00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:54.940
that? Is that just urban legend, or is that for

00:46:54.940 --> 00:46:57.940
real? I'm not sure I buy that. Let's do the lyrics.

00:46:58.099 --> 00:47:00.539
I believe it kind of alludes to that, doesn't

00:47:00.539 --> 00:47:02.800
it? I don't know. We'd have to look at the lyrics.

00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:06.139
What does turning Japanese mean besides that?

00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:10.119
That you're being influenced by all the products

00:47:10.119 --> 00:47:13.679
they're peddling? Or it could be that he's squinting.

00:47:13.860 --> 00:47:18.360
Because he's orgasming? He looks like... God,

00:47:18.360 --> 00:47:20.760
I don't look like that when I orgasm. How do

00:47:20.760 --> 00:47:22.300
you know? Do you watch yourself? Oh, all the

00:47:22.300 --> 00:47:28.219
time. Sean's taking selfies. Well, let me show

00:47:28.219 --> 00:47:32.800
you. Here's a video of me masturbating. Shout

00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:34.800
out to Brian. Does it look like I'm Japanese?

00:47:35.159 --> 00:47:37.460
Shout out to Brian. Every time he comes, he yells

00:47:37.460 --> 00:47:42.619
mazel. Oh, God. Mazel. Brian, he was on the podcast

00:47:42.619 --> 00:47:44.480
that never got posted, but Brian, he shares a

00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:47.159
story with me. He went out to a comedy club,

00:47:47.320 --> 00:47:51.480
and the place didn't sell out, but they were

00:47:51.480 --> 00:47:52.960
like, fuck it, we'll do it anyway. So there was

00:47:52.960 --> 00:47:56.039
like 10, 15 people there, and there was some

00:47:56.039 --> 00:47:58.239
guy that was pretty funny from what he was saying,

00:47:58.300 --> 00:48:01.059
and Brian was, I guess, a little toasty, and

00:48:01.059 --> 00:48:03.159
I don't know. He just kept saying things, and

00:48:03.159 --> 00:48:07.079
he was talking about... He was talking about

00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:09.739
how Jewish and German. He says, oh, you guys

00:48:09.739 --> 00:48:12.199
must have pretty good sex. He's like, oh, it's

00:48:12.199 --> 00:48:15.659
concentrated. Oh, wow. And then they start laughing.

00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:18.420
Then he's talking about, yeah, every time I come,

00:48:18.500 --> 00:48:21.780
I yell mazel. And then without a blink, his girlfriend's

00:48:21.780 --> 00:48:23.699
like, yeah, he does. And so it's just whatever.

00:48:25.119 --> 00:48:29.440
Great. Whatever. Funny story. Brian. What a ding

00:48:29.440 --> 00:48:34.300
dong. Yes. All right. So I don't know about this

00:48:34.300 --> 00:48:39.719
concert, this 80s, lost 80s. Yeah, I'm going

00:48:39.719 --> 00:48:42.480
to have to process that. I'm going to have to

00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:45.019
lose another 30 pounds so that I can accommodate

00:48:45.019 --> 00:48:47.940
the weather out there. Or I'm going to have to

00:48:47.940 --> 00:48:50.239
get a little body suit, like a little astronaut

00:48:50.239 --> 00:48:52.440
suit and keep it, you know. Like a bubble. You

00:48:52.440 --> 00:48:54.599
did not do well at the foreigner concert. Oh,

00:48:54.599 --> 00:48:57.920
dude, it was tough. I'm not going through that

00:48:57.920 --> 00:49:01.380
again. I had to stand up. It was too much. It

00:49:01.380 --> 00:49:04.619
was unhealthy. Yeah. No, I get it. It was hot.

00:49:04.780 --> 00:49:07.139
It was very, very hot. Yeah. I was about to,

00:49:07.139 --> 00:49:09.820
you know, get some liquid nitro. What is that

00:49:09.820 --> 00:49:11.519
stuff called that you take, the medicine you

00:49:11.519 --> 00:49:14.400
take? Nitroglycerin? Yeah, nitroglycerin. I don't

00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:15.840
know if the blood pressure was that high, but

00:49:15.840 --> 00:49:18.400
it was just uncomfortable. I had to walk. I had

00:49:18.400 --> 00:49:21.000
to, like, you know, stretch it out. You know,

00:49:21.019 --> 00:49:24.039
but the concert was good, and the guys from REO

00:49:24.039 --> 00:49:25.860
Speedwagon, they were just kind of like, we don't

00:49:25.860 --> 00:49:27.659
think we've ever had a fucking concert that was

00:49:27.659 --> 00:49:29.840
this hot ever. It was a foreigner, right? Oh,

00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:31.610
yeah, a foreigner. Cover band. Not REO, but it

00:49:31.610 --> 00:49:34.849
was a former cover band. But we saw REO. The

00:49:34.849 --> 00:49:37.789
official former cover band. In that same venue.

00:49:38.289 --> 00:49:41.730
We saw REO. And I think Joan Jett. That was Boston.

00:49:41.889 --> 00:49:46.869
Yeah. We saw Kansas. We saw Felder. But we saw

00:49:46.869 --> 00:49:50.010
REO, and he was not good. Kevin Cronin didn't

00:49:50.010 --> 00:49:53.250
sound good at all. Yeah. I saw them a couple

00:49:53.250 --> 00:49:56.469
live concerts on TV, and you're right. He didn't

00:49:56.469 --> 00:49:58.730
sound good. He struggled. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He

00:49:58.730 --> 00:50:01.739
looked like a grandma. I mean, shit, man, they're

00:50:01.739 --> 00:50:04.579
all in their fucking 70s. I know. I mean, it's

00:50:04.579 --> 00:50:06.900
crazy. Well, they just called it quits. They

00:50:06.900 --> 00:50:11.079
did have the world tour. Who, Boston? No, REO

00:50:11.079 --> 00:50:13.260
Speedwagon. And they're like, yeah, we can't

00:50:13.260 --> 00:50:16.360
get along together anymore. That's too bad. And

00:50:16.360 --> 00:50:19.179
in December is it. We can't get along? Yep. Well,

00:50:19.179 --> 00:50:21.619
I mean, they're all grouchy old men, right? Yep.

00:50:22.480 --> 00:50:25.500
That's crazy. Look at that. His name's Maeve.

00:50:27.559 --> 00:50:31.599
Yeah. Glasses don't help. And his hair? No, it's

00:50:31.599 --> 00:50:33.920
not a good look. Well, they can't do the perms

00:50:33.920 --> 00:50:35.659
anymore. That wouldn't look good on an old man

00:50:35.659 --> 00:50:38.719
either. Kevin Patrick Cronin Jr., born in 51.

00:50:41.119 --> 00:50:47.019
Yeah. 73. 73 years old. You know, at this point,

00:50:47.079 --> 00:50:49.980
it's just a severance check they're looking for.

00:50:50.079 --> 00:50:53.679
They suck it up. They go on these concerts to

00:50:53.679 --> 00:50:58.750
wheel and deal another $50 ,000, $100 ,000. I

00:50:58.750 --> 00:51:00.570
wonder how much these guys make per concert.

00:51:00.769 --> 00:51:02.449
I don't know. I don't think they're doing it

00:51:02.449 --> 00:51:04.050
for the money. I think they do it because it's

00:51:04.050 --> 00:51:06.389
a last hurrah and they enjoy playing together,

00:51:06.630 --> 00:51:08.769
right? I mean, I don't know. I think it's money

00:51:08.769 --> 00:51:11.610
as well. I think it's money as well. It's always

00:51:11.610 --> 00:51:14.230
money. I don't think they enjoy it because I

00:51:14.230 --> 00:51:16.809
think that it puts a lot of stress on their relationships.

00:51:18.489 --> 00:51:22.590
Yeah, maybe. I don't know what it is about these

00:51:22.590 --> 00:51:27.090
types. Whatever. You've got to have a strong

00:51:27.090 --> 00:51:31.429
core. I think we have a great relationship, and

00:51:31.429 --> 00:51:33.710
even though we have disagreements, I think it's

00:51:33.710 --> 00:51:36.110
freaking great. We can just bounce right back

00:51:36.110 --> 00:51:39.170
because I don't care what you guys do. It's just

00:51:39.170 --> 00:51:41.829
like, yeah, well, whatever. That was that day,

00:51:41.889 --> 00:51:44.469
and this is this day. And they can't do it. They

00:51:44.469 --> 00:51:47.630
can't move past that, and I don't get that. Especially

00:51:47.630 --> 00:51:50.130
if it's going to make you a lot of money. True.

00:51:50.510 --> 00:51:53.969
Hey, we could stop now, or we could suck it up,

00:51:53.989 --> 00:51:56.150
keep going, and make a few hundred thousand dollars

00:51:56.150 --> 00:51:59.639
more. Yeah. You know? Well, I mean, that's my

00:51:59.639 --> 00:52:01.159
argument. I don't think they need the money.

00:52:01.219 --> 00:52:02.639
I mean, I don't know how they spend their money,

00:52:02.699 --> 00:52:05.440
but they should be getting lots of money from

00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:07.920
REO. I mean... Well, it depends what their record

00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:10.340
contracts look like. Well, that's true. You know?

00:52:10.460 --> 00:52:12.480
They might have gotten screwed on a bad deal.

00:52:12.599 --> 00:52:14.739
A lot of people did. A lot of these bands did.

00:52:15.579 --> 00:52:18.719
Yeah, that's crazy. Anyway, so that was the highlight

00:52:18.719 --> 00:52:21.000
of the weekend, right? I don't think... Well,

00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:23.539
for me, I had something else going on. Oh, yeah,

00:52:23.539 --> 00:52:28.389
you had... Yeah. Yeah, my oldest son got... engaged

00:52:28.389 --> 00:52:33.429
over december and we had a engagement party it

00:52:33.429 --> 00:52:36.929
was small it was just family uh on our side it

00:52:36.929 --> 00:52:39.949
was just you know grandparents aunts uncles yeah

00:52:39.949 --> 00:52:43.349
stuff like that uh then same for her side and

00:52:43.349 --> 00:52:46.289
uh we had that it was a little more formal um

00:52:46.289 --> 00:52:50.130
and uh got some really good mediterranean food

00:52:50.130 --> 00:52:52.130
i got some leftovers downstairs i had for dinner

00:52:52.130 --> 00:52:55.360
so it was good nice uh I mean, was there a DJ?

00:52:55.699 --> 00:52:58.860
No DJ. No music? Yeah, there was music. No DJ.

00:52:58.880 --> 00:53:02.179
It wasn't that kind. It was a little more formal

00:53:02.179 --> 00:53:05.639
and just, you know. Kind of a cocktail party.

00:53:05.800 --> 00:53:08.760
Kind of, yeah. They had alcohol there? No booze.

00:53:09.799 --> 00:53:13.079
And it was good. It was very nice. Did you bring

00:53:13.079 --> 00:53:16.000
your own? No, I didn't bring any beers. A little

00:53:16.000 --> 00:53:17.400
pocket bourbon canister? No, I did not bring

00:53:17.400 --> 00:53:19.679
any beers. Flask? I think that culture, there's

00:53:19.679 --> 00:53:22.059
not a lot of drinking, right? I don't know. Well,

00:53:22.099 --> 00:53:23.820
there was drinking, but we didn't have any that

00:53:23.820 --> 00:53:27.280
night. Right. Interesting. So. Yeah. But it was

00:53:27.280 --> 00:53:30.820
nice. It was good to see Brandon and Yasmin and

00:53:30.820 --> 00:53:34.599
having fun and some family members I've never

00:53:34.599 --> 00:53:38.130
met of hers. Yeah. I mean, they had their friends

00:53:38.130 --> 00:53:40.610
there, right? Brandon had some friends and Yasmin

00:53:40.610 --> 00:53:42.730
had some friends? He had a couple of friends

00:53:42.730 --> 00:53:45.449
from Parker. She had a couple of friends, but

00:53:45.449 --> 00:53:47.110
as far as everyone else, it was just family.

00:53:47.510 --> 00:53:50.090
Okay. Well, that's cool. Yeah. Yeah, nice. It

00:53:50.090 --> 00:53:52.489
was good. It was nice. So anyway, that was mine.

00:53:52.809 --> 00:53:54.710
That was my Saturday. That was your Saturday.

00:53:55.070 --> 00:53:57.010
Running around, getting the last minute things,

00:53:57.110 --> 00:54:00.769
flowers and cakes, and then I locked my keys

00:54:00.769 --> 00:54:03.210
in my car. How does that even happen nowadays?

00:54:03.250 --> 00:54:05.869
Because I was carrying, Brandon got this. Bouquet

00:54:05.869 --> 00:54:09.809
for Yasmin. It was humongous. So I had to go

00:54:09.809 --> 00:54:12.269
down into Garland to pick this thing up. And

00:54:12.269 --> 00:54:16.010
this thing is huge. It was in my truck. Right.

00:54:16.070 --> 00:54:19.690
So I had my keys and I get out and I was distracted.

00:54:19.789 --> 00:54:23.070
Left the keys in the ignition. So I get out and

00:54:23.070 --> 00:54:24.949
this thing is huge. So I was like, I'll just

00:54:24.949 --> 00:54:27.190
hit the door lock instead of trying to dig the

00:54:27.190 --> 00:54:28.809
keys out of my pocket because this thing is huge.

00:54:28.849 --> 00:54:30.170
I have to use both arms. Because you're thinking

00:54:30.170 --> 00:54:31.670
your keys are in your pocket. And as soon as

00:54:31.670 --> 00:54:34.269
I closed it, I was just like. Shit. Shit. And

00:54:34.269 --> 00:54:35.869
I looked in there, and they're dangling there,

00:54:35.989 --> 00:54:37.889
and I was like, tried the door, and I was like,

00:54:38.010 --> 00:54:41.650
God. So I ran in. I carried this thing, probably

00:54:41.650 --> 00:54:45.250
weighed 60 pounds, and I gave it to Steve, and

00:54:45.250 --> 00:54:46.989
I was like, I need your keys. I need to go home

00:54:46.989 --> 00:54:49.730
and get my spare keys real quick. How aggravating.

00:54:49.730 --> 00:54:51.510
So this thing started at 5. This happened at

00:54:51.510 --> 00:54:54.369
425. Oh, shit. And I was down there at Waters

00:54:54.369 --> 00:54:56.389
Creek, and I was trying to do everything. I was

00:54:56.389 --> 00:54:58.530
hitting every stoplight. It was pissing me off.

00:55:01.399 --> 00:55:03.500
Well, good thing you have a spare set. Yeah,

00:55:03.539 --> 00:55:05.480
so I got a spare set, and I made it back right

00:55:05.480 --> 00:55:07.460
at 5 o 'clock. And I called Steve, and I was

00:55:07.460 --> 00:55:09.079
like, call Brandon, because they were supposed

00:55:09.079 --> 00:55:12.619
to show up at 5. Right. For a grand entrance

00:55:12.619 --> 00:55:17.119
type of thing. Yeah, kind of thing. And apparently

00:55:17.119 --> 00:55:19.320
they were running late and stuff like this. I

00:55:19.320 --> 00:55:21.039
was like, perfect. But I was stressed out. I

00:55:21.039 --> 00:55:25.510
was that asshole driver. Right? So, you know.

00:55:25.750 --> 00:55:27.750
But you had a reason. You had an excuse. Well,

00:55:27.809 --> 00:55:29.449
that's why I kind of sometimes, unless I see

00:55:29.449 --> 00:55:31.130
you every day doing the same thing, I kind of

00:55:31.130 --> 00:55:32.449
give those people the benefit of the doubt. I

00:55:32.449 --> 00:55:33.849
was like, okay, maybe they have a reason to drive

00:55:33.849 --> 00:55:36.349
like this. Right. I see them all the time, though.

00:55:36.429 --> 00:55:40.250
It is kind of whatever. I figure there's something

00:55:40.250 --> 00:55:42.889
going on, but I just kind of, I used to get upset.

00:55:43.110 --> 00:55:45.230
Pull up to them. Look at him. Fuck off, man.

00:55:45.510 --> 00:55:47.550
Right. Now I don't even care. You don't know

00:55:47.550 --> 00:55:50.210
what's going on. Like me, I wasn't in life or

00:55:50.210 --> 00:55:51.969
death, but I was trying to get back for my son.

00:55:52.130 --> 00:55:53.610
I would have been death. You were stressed out?

00:55:53.610 --> 00:55:55.289
Your wife would have. Yeah, she probably would

00:55:55.289 --> 00:55:57.429
have. It would have been death. But you never

00:55:57.429 --> 00:55:59.610
know. I mean, maybe they're getting for an emergency

00:55:59.610 --> 00:56:02.170
or something like that. So I try to give those

00:56:02.170 --> 00:56:03.809
people the benefit. Unless I see you every single

00:56:03.809 --> 00:56:06.469
day doing the same thing. Yeah. How often are

00:56:06.469 --> 00:56:09.260
we going to? see the same driver, right? But,

00:56:09.360 --> 00:56:11.099
you know, when you drive to work every day, sometimes

00:56:11.099 --> 00:56:12.519
you see him and you're just like, you're an asshole

00:56:12.519 --> 00:56:15.599
every day. Yeah, it's true. You know, I do see

00:56:15.599 --> 00:56:17.480
that, but anyway. Well, I'm glad it worked out.

00:56:17.539 --> 00:56:19.059
It was good. Yeah, I'm glad it worked out. It

00:56:19.059 --> 00:56:20.820
was nice. It sounds like they were happy about

00:56:20.820 --> 00:56:22.320
how it turned out as well. Yeah, it was very

00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:25.579
nice. Cool. And I'm excited for Brandon. Oh,

00:56:25.599 --> 00:56:26.940
yeah, I'm excited for both of them. At the end

00:56:26.940 --> 00:56:29.320
of the day. Yeah, when is the wedding? It'll

00:56:29.320 --> 00:56:32.039
be after he graduates, so probably 27 sometime.

00:56:32.320 --> 00:56:34.539
Oh, okay, so it's not. Not currently. No. All

00:56:34.539 --> 00:56:36.260
right. Well, that's nice. Not anytime soon. They're

00:56:36.260 --> 00:56:37.940
being smart about it. We're getting to that age.

00:56:37.940 --> 00:56:42.679
And what is Yasmin going to do for her occupation?

00:56:43.280 --> 00:56:45.360
She's already got a job. She's working full time.

00:56:45.360 --> 00:56:50.280
So what is it? She is in, she produces training

00:56:50.280 --> 00:56:53.099
videos for a construction company or an electric

00:56:53.099 --> 00:56:55.519
company. So, I mean, is that what her occupation

00:56:55.519 --> 00:56:58.679
is, is just a producer or is it marketing? Kind

00:56:58.679 --> 00:57:03.070
of a marketing type of thing, I guess. Interesting.

00:57:03.230 --> 00:57:06.489
Yeah, she makes decent, makes good living. Yeah.

00:57:07.030 --> 00:57:09.889
So is she familiar with Adobe Photo Video and

00:57:09.889 --> 00:57:11.809
stuff like that? I believe so, yeah. I don't

00:57:11.809 --> 00:57:13.349
know about that one, but that's - Well, you should

00:57:13.349 --> 00:57:15.070
ask her. She uses stuff like that, I'm sure.

00:57:15.489 --> 00:57:18.570
Yeah. It could be to our advantage to have some

00:57:18.570 --> 00:57:20.989
specialist that could assist with any specific

00:57:20.989 --> 00:57:22.869
questions. Potentially. I don't know what software

00:57:22.869 --> 00:57:24.989
she uses or exactly what she does, but I know

00:57:24.989 --> 00:57:29.550
she said that she creates or edits or something.

00:57:30.250 --> 00:57:32.630
Along those lines, the training videos that we

00:57:32.630 --> 00:57:36.730
all have to watch, right? Right. Right. Some

00:57:36.730 --> 00:57:38.510
of those videos are funny, man. Speaking of compliance

00:57:38.510 --> 00:57:40.869
videos, you know, I just got hired, and I have

00:57:40.869 --> 00:57:45.010
to watch 24 of them. Damn. And I've got four

00:57:45.010 --> 00:57:49.929
left. And I watched one today about child abuse,

00:57:50.110 --> 00:57:52.989
and it was horrible. Right. Just reading all

00:57:52.989 --> 00:57:54.550
this stuff, I'm thinking, how could you do this

00:57:54.550 --> 00:57:57.670
to kids? Right. You know, and stuff like that.

00:57:57.710 --> 00:57:59.550
I'm just like, eh, it's terrible. Sex abuse.

00:58:00.539 --> 00:58:02.480
and all that stuff. You're just like, you know,

00:58:02.519 --> 00:58:05.960
I don't understand that. But why do they have

00:58:05.960 --> 00:58:08.880
to... You know all that stuff happens. Well,

00:58:08.900 --> 00:58:11.559
it's identifying it. Like what to look for. It's

00:58:11.559 --> 00:58:15.699
what to look for and what to do about how to

00:58:15.699 --> 00:58:18.639
report it and stuff. Yeah. It's not that you

00:58:18.639 --> 00:58:21.820
can stop it, but you can help the process and

00:58:21.820 --> 00:58:23.800
get... touch with the right people to stop it.

00:58:23.840 --> 00:58:25.739
Yeah, because you're in a situation that if you

00:58:25.739 --> 00:58:28.059
suspect something, you're obligated to report

00:58:28.059 --> 00:58:30.460
it. Correct. Yep. That's what it's getting across.

00:58:30.739 --> 00:58:33.219
Yep. Here are the types, here are the signs,

00:58:33.559 --> 00:58:35.320
here are the causes, and this is what you do.

00:58:35.460 --> 00:58:37.460
Yeah, because you literally can be charged with

00:58:37.460 --> 00:58:39.539
something if you suspected something and you

00:58:39.539 --> 00:58:41.300
didn't speak up. Well, they talk about, you know,

00:58:41.340 --> 00:58:43.360
some of the physical abuse, you know, some of

00:58:43.360 --> 00:58:46.340
it's burns, cigarettes, you know, they pour grease

00:58:46.340 --> 00:58:49.000
on them. Good Lord. And they said this is what

00:58:49.000 --> 00:58:51.280
the burns look like if it's, you know, the grease.

00:58:51.619 --> 00:58:54.099
Right. And, you know, they dump them in scalding

00:58:54.099 --> 00:58:56.159
hot water and shit like that. And, of course,

00:58:56.159 --> 00:58:58.860
accidents happen. Accidents happen. But, I mean,

00:58:58.920 --> 00:59:02.380
you know, but, yeah, you don't know. You can't

00:59:02.380 --> 00:59:04.800
assume. But, anyway, that was a tough one to

00:59:04.800 --> 00:59:07.400
watch. Yeah, I bet. So you got four more left.

00:59:08.539 --> 00:59:11.639
Yes. I haven't even looked at my list of 2025

00:59:11.639 --> 00:59:15.179
training. I'm sure it's a bunch of, you know,

00:59:15.199 --> 00:59:18.699
what you do is you just put it on and then you

00:59:18.699 --> 00:59:21.880
push play. and then you just kind of walk away,

00:59:22.019 --> 00:59:25.460
and you do other things. At one time, I had two

00:59:25.460 --> 00:59:28.739
screens, and I put one on one and one on the

00:59:28.739 --> 00:59:31.000
other and pressed play on both of them and just

00:59:31.000 --> 00:59:34.019
worked. And then when it was done, I took the

00:59:34.019 --> 00:59:36.880
little quiz. Well, some of these I had to watch

00:59:36.880 --> 00:59:38.480
because some of it's like, you know, what do

00:59:38.480 --> 00:59:41.019
you do with anaphylactic shock and stuff like

00:59:41.019 --> 00:59:43.059
that. So I had to watch. Maybe if I do it next

00:59:43.059 --> 00:59:45.860
year, I'll know. I had to watch it. Well, I gamble,

00:59:46.000 --> 00:59:47.940
because sometimes you can take the test more

00:59:47.940 --> 00:59:49.900
than once, and it's usually the same five questions.

00:59:50.119 --> 00:59:52.579
Just rearranged. Yeah, the correct answer was

00:59:52.579 --> 00:59:54.760
this. I was like, damn, okay, got it. Take the

00:59:54.760 --> 00:59:56.860
test again. Well, now I know it. I screenshot

00:59:56.860 --> 00:59:59.659
stuff like that. Yeah, I'll hold my phone up.

01:00:01.099 --> 01:00:04.320
Yeah, it's so dumb. Well, let's talk about the

01:00:04.320 --> 01:00:10.960
whiskey of the half. Yeah. Very good. So we have,

01:00:11.119 --> 01:00:13.679
what do we have? Yellowstone Saline. From the

01:00:13.679 --> 01:00:17.539
limestone branch. Yellowstone Bourbon Whiskey,

01:00:17.559 --> 01:00:21.800
the Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This one

01:00:21.800 --> 01:00:25.400
is, I think this is one of the first years that

01:00:25.400 --> 01:00:27.760
we have purchased this. Yeah, we've had this

01:00:27.760 --> 01:00:31.079
for quite a while. Yep. So it's 93 proof, and

01:00:31.079 --> 01:00:35.500
it comes in a wine -like bottle. It's tall and

01:00:35.500 --> 01:00:38.849
narrow. And this one is, it says it's a four,

01:00:38.969 --> 01:00:40.849
with a perfect blend of a four and a seven year

01:00:40.849 --> 01:00:43.250
bourbon. Select provides a smooth yet complex

01:00:43.250 --> 01:00:45.590
flavor, skews to more classic traditional bourbon

01:00:45.590 --> 01:00:51.449
profile. Yeah, Paul, finish that up. Let's see

01:00:51.449 --> 01:00:53.969
here. Where are you? Right about the middle.

01:00:55.610 --> 01:00:58.030
This bottle represents a culmination of seven

01:00:58.030 --> 01:01:00.150
generations of distilling knowledge to ensure

01:01:00.150 --> 01:01:02.710
Yellowstone remains an icon on shelves for generations

01:01:02.710 --> 01:01:05.170
to come. Okay, this is part of the Jim Beam family.

01:01:06.469 --> 01:01:08.590
So you've been there. Yes, I have been here.

01:01:09.610 --> 01:01:15.289
Yes, so I have been there. And it's a very small

01:01:15.289 --> 01:01:18.210
distillery. If you look at the Jim Beam family

01:01:18.210 --> 01:01:20.389
tree, and Jim Beam is not even the— They call

01:01:20.389 --> 01:01:22.050
it the Beam of Suntory, right? Right, right,

01:01:22.070 --> 01:01:23.550
right. The Beam family tree. I shouldn't even

01:01:23.550 --> 01:01:25.489
say Jim Beam because he's lower on the tree.

01:01:25.929 --> 01:01:28.469
Like, when they go to the very top of the Beam

01:01:28.469 --> 01:01:30.889
family, I mean, there's all these offshoots and

01:01:30.889 --> 01:01:35.070
in -laws, and they all get into distilling. Well,

01:01:35.550 --> 01:01:40.079
Yellowstone's one of those. I don't know how

01:01:40.079 --> 01:01:42.159
far down the tree, but we went there. It's a

01:01:42.159 --> 01:01:46.920
little distillery. It was cool. And Shelly, you

01:01:46.920 --> 01:01:49.559
ever seen the bottle, the empty bottle in Shelly

01:01:49.559 --> 01:01:52.980
in our kitchen that says. Is that it right there?

01:01:53.480 --> 01:01:55.619
No, usually when I see empty bottle in your kitchen,

01:01:55.639 --> 01:01:57.900
I cry. Right. So it's probably something I wanted.

01:01:58.000 --> 01:02:00.659
That is it. That's where I was. That is dink.

01:02:01.219 --> 01:02:04.119
Yeah, it's tiny. So where's that at? So scroll

01:02:04.119 --> 01:02:06.340
out. So let me see where that's relation to.

01:02:06.909 --> 01:02:09.889
It's on the southern side of Bardstown. Yeah,

01:02:09.909 --> 01:02:12.150
it's nice. It's on the southern side of Kentucky.

01:02:13.309 --> 01:02:16.349
Down there by the Tennessees? Not all the way

01:02:16.349 --> 01:02:19.030
down there, but yeah. So a little bit farther

01:02:19.030 --> 01:02:21.329
down. You see where Louisville is? We flew into

01:02:21.329 --> 01:02:23.929
Louisville. We went down to the Jim Beam Distillery.

01:02:23.949 --> 01:02:26.230
So it's not that far from Bardstown. No, but

01:02:26.230 --> 01:02:29.909
when you look at the Bourbon Trail, it's on the

01:02:29.909 --> 01:02:31.730
southern edge of the trail. That's what I meant.

01:02:31.929 --> 01:02:35.309
Yeah. So I'm going to be in Bardstown. Mm -hmm.

01:02:35.739 --> 01:02:38.760
Well, two, three weeks. That's actually not that

01:02:38.760 --> 01:02:41.840
far. No, it's not far. About an hour drive, maybe.

01:02:42.780 --> 01:02:45.659
No, not even. Yeah. Look at that. It's five miles.

01:02:45.840 --> 01:02:48.599
It looks like it's like 30 miles. And those little

01:02:48.599 --> 01:02:50.800
roads. 25 miles. See all those little roads?

01:02:50.900 --> 01:02:54.599
They're so pretty. 32 minutes away. If I have

01:02:54.599 --> 01:02:58.019
time, I might do it. Yeah. If I have time. Make

01:02:58.019 --> 01:03:03.010
some time. Make time. Yeah, it was cool. I mean,

01:03:03.010 --> 01:03:05.409
compared to other things we've seen now, even

01:03:05.409 --> 01:03:07.469
Iron Root, I mean, it doesn't compare to Iron

01:03:07.469 --> 01:03:10.329
Root at all. How about like the Tour? The Tour,

01:03:10.489 --> 01:03:12.190
yeah, the Tour itself. Well, I mean, they're

01:03:12.190 --> 01:03:13.329
kind of in the same realm. Oh, that was it. It

01:03:13.329 --> 01:03:16.429
was Case. Go back to that. See that minor Case?

01:03:16.849 --> 01:03:19.210
Yeah. That bottle is sitting in my kitchen, the

01:03:19.210 --> 01:03:21.590
empty bottle. Oh, is that 30 proof? What does

01:03:21.590 --> 01:03:24.710
that say? 15 proof? Or 90? 45 proof. All right.

01:03:24.829 --> 01:03:26.869
Yeah. Was it any good? What was interesting is

01:03:26.869 --> 01:03:30.949
Shelly fell in love with the bottle, and, you

01:03:30.949 --> 01:03:33.179
know, I didn't. I don't know why at the moment

01:03:33.179 --> 01:03:34.719
I didn't want to buy a bottle. I guess I had

01:03:34.719 --> 01:03:36.159
already bought bottles of other stuff. And I

01:03:36.159 --> 01:03:37.260
was like, shit, man, do we want to buy another

01:03:37.260 --> 01:03:39.300
bottle? And so she went and talked to the manager.

01:03:39.380 --> 01:03:41.500
She goes, do you have any empty bottles of this?

01:03:41.960 --> 01:03:44.300
And she's like, and he's like, let me get you

01:03:44.300 --> 01:03:47.059
one. Just keep it on the down low. And he came

01:03:47.059 --> 01:03:48.860
out with an empty bottle and gave it to us. But

01:03:48.860 --> 01:03:50.099
you're going to have to follow me in the back.

01:03:50.579 --> 01:03:53.860
Well, I had to. Oh, my God. I know. I was like,

01:03:55.360 --> 01:03:56.760
Shelly, this better be worth it. You're going

01:03:56.760 --> 01:04:00.539
to have to give a beige. No. Anyway, so, yeah,

01:04:00.599 --> 01:04:03.340
it was a. But it was a cool tour. I mean, they

01:04:03.340 --> 01:04:06.820
have an open. That part was cool. You could dip

01:04:06.820 --> 01:04:08.639
your finger in the fermenting vat. What if you,

01:04:08.699 --> 01:04:13.320
like, pulled out a big straw? No. That's the

01:04:13.320 --> 01:04:15.739
poison part. No, you just. No, that's the mash.

01:04:15.980 --> 01:04:17.619
No, it's the fermenting mash. That's the fermenting

01:04:17.619 --> 01:04:19.059
mash. So is that the part that's the good stuff?

01:04:19.440 --> 01:04:21.280
It tastes like, yeah. Yeah, it tastes like corn,

01:04:21.380 --> 01:04:25.699
like a corn mash, like cornbread, kind of, you

01:04:25.699 --> 01:04:28.579
know. That's quaint. Yeah, it was a cool little

01:04:28.579 --> 01:04:30.550
place. I mean, one of the reasons why we went

01:04:30.550 --> 01:04:32.650
there is because we booked so late that we couldn't

01:04:32.650 --> 01:04:35.610
get tickets to basically anywhere else. And so

01:04:35.610 --> 01:04:38.030
I snatched that up and we went down there. That's

01:04:38.030 --> 01:04:41.269
a good building. Yeah, it's neat. So anyway,

01:04:41.369 --> 01:04:43.329
what do we think about it, by the way? That's

01:04:43.329 --> 01:04:45.409
what we're supposed to be talking about. I like

01:04:45.409 --> 01:04:51.090
it. I think the... What are you smelling? I think

01:04:51.090 --> 01:04:54.789
grass. I smell grass. So the IA generated thing,

01:04:54.849 --> 01:04:58.670
the aromas, dry oak, menthol, dark fruit, rye.

01:04:58.989 --> 01:05:02.570
Toast, cinnamon spice, banana, dried cherry,

01:05:02.730 --> 01:05:05.449
caramel, herbs, and licorice. I smell sweetness,

01:05:05.510 --> 01:05:08.849
and I smell grass to me. Maybe that's, well,

01:05:08.949 --> 01:05:12.130
there it says leathered cherries, whatever. It's

01:05:12.130 --> 01:05:14.650
a leathered cherry. Not a normal cherry. A leathered

01:05:14.650 --> 01:05:17.070
cherry. But I do smell some sweetness. Maybe

01:05:17.070 --> 01:05:21.130
the dried. I'm not going to Google that. I wouldn't.

01:05:21.369 --> 01:05:23.710
Leathered cherry. I wouldn't be like, grandmas

01:05:23.710 --> 01:05:27.409
go wild, you know? It's a former porn star. Just

01:05:27.409 --> 01:05:31.760
old. Wow. So the interesting thing about the

01:05:31.760 --> 01:05:36.539
Yellowstone name is that apparently the distiller

01:05:36.539 --> 01:05:39.539
that started it, they vacationed at Yellowstone

01:05:39.539 --> 01:05:41.940
National Park, and they loved it, and they thought

01:05:41.940 --> 01:05:45.119
it was the most amazing tribute to the United

01:05:45.119 --> 01:05:49.320
States, and they had just commissioned it. You

01:05:49.320 --> 01:05:51.159
know what I mean? Was it Teddy Roosevelt, I guess?

01:05:51.219 --> 01:05:52.519
I don't know. I believe it was, yeah. Anyway,

01:05:52.579 --> 01:05:55.559
so it was like the talk. Like Yellowstone, you

01:05:55.559 --> 01:05:56.900
know, everybody was talking about Yellowstone,

01:05:57.000 --> 01:05:59.260
and they were like, he loved it so much that

01:05:59.260 --> 01:06:01.420
he wanted to name his bourbon after that park.

01:06:01.639 --> 01:06:03.460
Oh, I thought they did it after the Duttons.

01:06:03.880 --> 01:06:06.699
They did not. So the taste is, it's a creamy

01:06:06.699 --> 01:06:10.000
vanilla fudge, what is it, herbaceous spice?

01:06:10.739 --> 01:06:12.940
Herbaceous. Herbaceous. Herbaceous, oh, so it's

01:06:12.940 --> 01:06:16.559
with herbs. Herbaceous. Herbaceous. Caramel,

01:06:16.639 --> 01:06:20.260
melted butter, leathered cherries. Burnt brown

01:06:20.260 --> 01:06:23.380
sugar cloves, smoked caramel, roasted hazelnuts.

01:06:23.500 --> 01:06:25.820
I kind of, it does taste all, I can taste all

01:06:25.820 --> 01:06:27.559
that stuff. Yeah. I mean, when you start grinding,

01:06:27.659 --> 01:06:28.880
Paul, you drank yours an hour ago. Well, there's

01:06:28.880 --> 01:06:30.760
some sweetness to it. I was thirsty. I mean,

01:06:30.760 --> 01:06:33.260
I like this, but I think it's kind of thin. It's

01:06:33.260 --> 01:06:35.920
okay. Yeah. I didn't think it was amazing. Yeah.

01:06:36.219 --> 01:06:39.599
It's got some sweetness on the very tip. Yeah.

01:06:39.639 --> 01:06:42.820
Yeah. A little tangy. Yeah. A little smoke oak.

01:06:43.000 --> 01:06:46.519
Yeah. A little brown sugar. I had a little side

01:06:46.519 --> 01:06:51.130
conversation here. herbs versus herbs. The British

01:06:51.130 --> 01:06:54.730
say herbs, and the Americans say herbs. Like,

01:06:54.769 --> 01:06:58.489
what the hell? Why is it like that? Walk us through

01:06:58.489 --> 01:07:01.789
that, Jeff. They also call trunks bonnets. Well,

01:07:01.869 --> 01:07:03.590
but that's two, I'm talking about two different

01:07:03.590 --> 01:07:05.409
pronunciations of the same word. They also spell

01:07:05.409 --> 01:07:07.989
beautiful, or not beautiful, but there's certain

01:07:07.989 --> 01:07:10.050
words that have like an A in it. They also call

01:07:10.050 --> 01:07:12.969
cigarettes fags. They do. He had to work that

01:07:12.969 --> 01:07:18.539
in. I'll be able to cut that. Wow. What? So vulgar.

01:07:18.699 --> 01:07:22.760
I know. He said it so violently. With so much

01:07:22.760 --> 01:07:27.420
passion. I don't know. 93 proof, not bad. Yeah,

01:07:27.440 --> 01:07:32.539
so the British word. Oh, yeah. Herbs. Herb. Because

01:07:32.539 --> 01:07:35.019
whenever you hear somebody say herbs, here you're

01:07:35.019 --> 01:07:38.159
like, it's herbs. Technically, they're right

01:07:38.159 --> 01:07:42.199
if they're British. Herbs. Anyway. I know. Okay.

01:07:42.900 --> 01:07:45.139
So we're going to rate this. Do they say wheat?

01:07:46.500 --> 01:07:51.780
I'm not sure. Miracle whip. Whip. Cool. Okay.

01:07:52.219 --> 01:07:56.760
We can stop this. How do we rate it? 93 proof.

01:07:56.960 --> 01:07:59.340
I'm going to give it a 6 .1. Yeah. I was going

01:07:59.340 --> 01:08:01.920
to run around. Perfect. I'll match that 6 .1.

01:08:03.360 --> 01:08:06.719
I'm going to do 6. There you go. It's fine? It's

01:08:06.719 --> 01:08:09.139
not bad, but it's... It's the leather cherry

01:08:09.139 --> 01:08:11.760
that threw you off? You know, here's the thing.

01:08:11.780 --> 01:08:13.900
In fact, I may go lower, but I'm going to stick

01:08:13.900 --> 01:08:15.559
with six right now. It's not that it's a bad

01:08:15.559 --> 01:08:18.720
taste. It's just not pronounced. There's just

01:08:18.720 --> 01:08:21.939
not a lot there. It's very Jim Nailed It. Jeff

01:08:21.939 --> 01:08:25.960
Nailed It. Thin. It's thin. It tastes thin. It's

01:08:25.960 --> 01:08:28.739
just not enough. It's not oily. It needs some...

01:08:29.670 --> 01:08:32.250
some fatty acid esters in there. Yeah. Yeah.

01:08:32.350 --> 01:08:34.710
And also considering mictors 10 was what, 95

01:08:34.710 --> 01:08:37.970
proof? Yes. That was out of the water. That was

01:08:37.970 --> 01:08:40.609
off the charts. Yep. Even regular mictors, which

01:08:40.609 --> 01:08:42.390
is right around this, it blows us out of the

01:08:42.390 --> 01:08:44.710
water. So I would go, but I don't want to like

01:08:44.710 --> 01:08:46.369
say, it's not horrible. Right. You don't want

01:08:46.369 --> 01:08:47.829
to shit on it. Yeah. I don't want to shit on

01:08:47.829 --> 01:08:50.029
it. I think a six, six one is appropriate. Yeah.

01:08:50.470 --> 01:08:52.189
It's not bad. It's not good. It's an easy drinker.

01:08:52.750 --> 01:08:54.229
It's right in the middle. You could sip this.

01:08:54.640 --> 01:08:57.439
All day. Literally, because it's 93 proof. I

01:08:57.439 --> 01:09:01.979
did more than a sip. I kind of half gulped. I

01:09:01.979 --> 01:09:04.619
recommend it if you want a real... If someone

01:09:04.619 --> 01:09:08.859
was asking for a recommendation, this is an easy

01:09:08.859 --> 01:09:11.899
one to drink. It is an easy one to drink. Oh,

01:09:11.979 --> 01:09:15.520
absolutely. So if they're not used to that high

01:09:15.520 --> 01:09:18.199
proof stuff, this would be a good one to get

01:09:18.199 --> 01:09:20.760
into because there's some sweetness to it. They

01:09:20.760 --> 01:09:26.460
can easily drink it. Would you like a pour of

01:09:26.460 --> 01:09:31.420
RD -1? So we got a little RD -1 for the spirits.

01:09:31.939 --> 01:09:34.960
So why don't you get those guys back on the phone

01:09:34.960 --> 01:09:37.920
and get another email set up. Oh, yeah. I love

01:09:37.920 --> 01:09:40.659
this. This is a treat. Is this the cinnamon toast

01:09:40.659 --> 01:09:42.659
crunch that Paul didn't like? It is. Until you

01:09:42.659 --> 01:09:45.979
told me I liked it. And then I liked it. Oh.

01:09:47.939 --> 01:09:51.060
Really? Power suggestion. Chuck's like, what

01:09:51.060 --> 01:09:53.439
about me? This is on the shelf. Yeah, what the

01:09:53.439 --> 01:09:55.430
fuck, guys? This is on the shelf. You can buy

01:09:55.430 --> 01:09:57.630
this at any time. It was about 50 bucks. Oh,

01:09:57.630 --> 01:09:59.510
it's so good. Yeah, it's gone up in price. It

01:09:59.510 --> 01:10:01.590
is totally like Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It is

01:10:01.590 --> 01:10:04.449
terrific, and that's because of the onomatopoeia

01:10:04.449 --> 01:10:07.189
wood, right? The Ambarana. The Ambarana wood.

01:10:07.510 --> 01:10:10.489
You're close. It's 110 proof, too. It's a Brazilian

01:10:10.489 --> 01:10:11.930
Ambarana wood bourbon. It doesn't feel like it.

01:10:12.109 --> 01:10:15.409
It does not taste like 110 proof. No. No, not

01:10:15.409 --> 01:10:17.170
at all. It does not. Wow, we're sampling two

01:10:17.170 --> 01:10:19.710
bourbons within minutes of each other. So what

01:10:19.710 --> 01:10:23.220
does the Ambarana tree look like? Is it like...

01:10:23.220 --> 01:10:25.640
Looks like a big oak. Is it not very hairy because

01:10:25.640 --> 01:10:28.239
it's Brazilian? I kind of make it... It kind

01:10:28.239 --> 01:10:33.399
of looks like... Really? It's a bald tree. It's

01:10:33.399 --> 01:10:36.880
a hairless bald tree. Yes. And it's very moist.

01:10:37.140 --> 01:10:39.899
Kind of look like Joy Reid's hair. That kind

01:10:39.899 --> 01:10:41.899

01:10:43.350 --> 01:10:45.489
Yeah, there you go. All right. Well, they're

01:10:45.489 --> 01:10:48.729
tall trees, and there's not much to eat. And

01:10:48.729 --> 01:10:52.909
they make excellent barrels. And they taste great.

01:10:53.090 --> 01:10:55.470
And they really do. They really do. Shout out

01:10:55.470 --> 01:10:57.390
to them. And shout out to Yellowstone. And shout

01:10:57.390 --> 01:10:59.729
out to all the listeners out there. You guys

01:10:59.729 --> 01:11:03.039
