WEBVTT

00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:09.619
Did we test the laptop audio? Yep. Okay, cool.

00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:12.939
Whoa, really? Wow, we checked all the boxes before

00:00:12.939 --> 00:00:15.880
we got started? What are the odds of that? Our

00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:19.920
podcast room was emptied. Completely deconstructed.

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:24.239
We have rebuilt it better and bigger than ever

00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:27.640
before. Bigger, stronger, faster. For $6 million.

00:00:29.179 --> 00:00:32.960
None of the above, Joe. None of the above. It

00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:34.399
definitely looks better. It looks cleaner. It

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:37.079
does. It's always good when you make your bed

00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:38.820
in the morning. You know, you start your day

00:00:38.820 --> 00:00:41.100
off with being well -groomed. And you feel fresh

00:00:41.100 --> 00:00:43.960
and energized. We still have some cable management

00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:45.659
we need to do. And the carts are nice and fluffy.

00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:49.200
It is. How about this carpet? It is. I like what

00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:52.119
we did. So, you know, and there's no April Fool's.

00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:55.600
I know it's April Fool's 2025 today. But it's

00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.619
not April Fool's. By the way, guys, you fucking

00:00:58.619 --> 00:01:02.780
suck. I hate all of you. April Fool's. But what

00:01:02.780 --> 00:01:07.700
if it's real? No, no. Now, look, welcome to another

00:01:07.700 --> 00:01:09.640
episode of Dudes Like Us. Thank you, Mr. Producer

00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:11.459
Chuck. Look at him. He's just pounding away at

00:01:11.459 --> 00:01:16.319
that sample already. That's what I do. Easy,

00:01:16.939 --> 00:01:19.560
easy, brother. There are no seconds here. All

00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.340
right, so it's April 1st, 2025. Check us out

00:01:22.340 --> 00:01:24.900
on Dudes Like Us on Facebook and Instagram. We're

00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:27.939
there. Dudes Like Us podcast and Woodcraft if

00:01:27.939 --> 00:01:30.599
you're up for their swag. I'm Sean. I'm Paul.

00:01:30.780 --> 00:01:34.640
And I'm Jeff. And we have not done this in a

00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:36.819
while. No, we have not. We've had lots of things

00:01:36.819 --> 00:01:39.019
going on over the last, what, three weeks? Well,

00:01:39.019 --> 00:01:41.200
you have. Well, yes. Dude, you went traveling,

00:01:41.340 --> 00:01:44.019
you little shit bird. Yes, I did do that. We

00:01:44.019 --> 00:01:46.840
can talk about that. But we had to tear the room

00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:51.079
down first. So on prior podcasts, we have alluded

00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:55.799
that Jeff had a major crisis with a hot water

00:01:55.799 --> 00:02:00.829
or water heater. dumping its bowels down below

00:02:00.829 --> 00:02:03.209
Jeff's house. Because you poorly maintained it,

00:02:03.250 --> 00:02:04.810
right? Is that what it was? It was. I was up

00:02:04.810 --> 00:02:05.950
there hitting it with a hammer, and I was like,

00:02:06.010 --> 00:02:07.829
what happened? You're like, how do I make it

00:02:07.829 --> 00:02:10.210
hotter? What if I hit this pipe really hard?

00:02:11.370 --> 00:02:13.449
Julie wants the water hotter. How do I do that?

00:02:14.650 --> 00:02:17.590
Right. Well, I will tell you guys, I cannot leave

00:02:17.590 --> 00:02:20.389
my house without throngs of people saying, oh,

00:02:20.389 --> 00:02:22.629
hi, hi, Paul, Paul, when are you guys going to

00:02:22.629 --> 00:02:25.289
post your next podcast? Throngs. Throngs. And

00:02:25.289 --> 00:02:27.330
it's getting irritating. I have to take the dogs

00:02:27.330 --> 00:02:31.039
out the back. So if we could stay on schedule.

00:02:31.300 --> 00:02:33.159
You don't have your security team, like, make

00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:36.360
an opening for you? I don't. I don't. I don't.

00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.479
I can't afford the security team that you guys

00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:41.719
have. Anyway, but I take the dogs out the back

00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:44.039
now. I don't have a problem with that. We used

00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:45.240
to have problems. Chuck had a problem with that.

00:02:45.259 --> 00:02:47.919
One of our neighbors, old Jesse, chased. Chase

00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:52.879
Chuck down. Hey, man. Oh, HOA drama. Oh, Lord

00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.080
have mercy, man. I mean, some of these people

00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:56.860
are just ding -dongs. You said you were going

00:02:56.860 --> 00:02:58.719
to clean the pool. How come the pool's not clean?

00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:02.479
These guys are just off their rocker, man. How

00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:04.939
about me? I had to program the pool cards when

00:03:04.939 --> 00:03:07.740
I was on my HOA. And so I'd be like, oh, I don't

00:03:07.740 --> 00:03:09.939
get paid for this shit, but a new person, you

00:03:09.939 --> 00:03:12.240
know, joins the neighborhood. And so I'm like,

00:03:12.300 --> 00:03:14.719
okay, let me go program their card. And then

00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:16.599
I have some other little trinkets for them, you

00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:18.460
know, that the HOA board wanted me to give them.

00:03:18.500 --> 00:03:21.860
And I'm like, ding dong. Hi, welcome to the neighborhood.

00:03:22.099 --> 00:03:25.280
Why you want? Like, oh, fuck you. I'm like, uh,

00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:27.500
I'm here to give you your new pool card, and

00:03:27.500 --> 00:03:29.699
here's how it works. And if you have any problems

00:03:29.699 --> 00:03:32.180
with it, okay, I'll complain. Did you talk about

00:03:32.180 --> 00:03:35.020
your other trinkets, like nipple rings? Well,

00:03:35.099 --> 00:03:37.539
I mean, we had some. Nipple clips. We had some.

00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:41.819
Dildos. Yeah. That's a neighborhood delicacy.

00:03:41.819 --> 00:03:43.479
Here's a box of butt pillows. By the way, our

00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:45.740
next HOA flea market we're going to have out

00:03:45.740 --> 00:03:50.259
is next week. It's our biannual yard sale. Gently

00:03:50.259 --> 00:03:53.500
used. Yeah. Gently used. This was all before

00:03:53.500 --> 00:03:56.479
What's -His -Name and his parties. So, yeah,

00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:59.199
we didn't know about all that stuff. But, no,

00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.129
it was more like, you know, like. People who

00:04:02.129 --> 00:04:04.069
are trying to advertise stuff. Like in the neighborhood,

00:04:04.189 --> 00:04:06.030
somebody who owned an irrigation and somebody

00:04:06.030 --> 00:04:08.050
who made cookies. You know, they wanted to kind

00:04:08.050 --> 00:04:09.849
of advertise their shit and give free cookies

00:04:09.849 --> 00:04:13.110
as samples and shit. We all make cookies. Well,

00:04:13.189 --> 00:04:14.550
I mean, these are real cookies. You know, it

00:04:14.550 --> 00:04:17.589
is that time, though, right now for flea markets.

00:04:17.689 --> 00:04:20.009
Not flea markets, but yard sales. Most communities

00:04:20.009 --> 00:04:22.149
right now. Isn't that right, Mr. Producer Chuck?

00:04:22.250 --> 00:04:24.110
Is yards turning? Yeah, the weather's turning.

00:04:24.290 --> 00:04:26.149
Well, I think it's because also this is the time

00:04:26.149 --> 00:04:27.829
of year a lot of folks try to sell their home.

00:04:28.670 --> 00:04:30.829
Is it? Yeah, the springtime is big because they

00:04:30.829 --> 00:04:32.370
want to sell it and be in place for the next

00:04:32.370 --> 00:04:35.290
school year. Or generally spring cleaning. Well,

00:04:35.290 --> 00:04:36.889
that too. Yeah, they're just like, you know what,

00:04:36.949 --> 00:04:38.329
I've got to get rid of some of this shit like

00:04:38.329 --> 00:04:41.410
I did the other day trying to get cars into the

00:04:41.410 --> 00:04:43.670
garage because my son was like, there's a hailstorm

00:04:43.670 --> 00:04:45.290
coming. I've got to get the car in the garage,

00:04:45.370 --> 00:04:46.470
which means you've got to move your motorcycle

00:04:46.470 --> 00:04:48.410
to the back and it's not going to fit. Now what

00:04:48.410 --> 00:04:51.930
are we going to do? And so it was a lot of work

00:04:51.930 --> 00:04:55.310
to rearrange that garage and clean out stuff

00:04:55.310 --> 00:04:58.800
that's been that way since 2003. Right? Right.

00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:02.680
So, you know, made a dump run. So, anyway. A

00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:05.279
little disruption. Chuck's over here. I guess

00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:07.399
we started talking. He got an erection. And it

00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:09.420
pushed the button in his pocket and set off the

00:05:09.420 --> 00:05:11.899
alarm for his car. Nice. Is that what happened?

00:05:11.980 --> 00:05:14.360
Your car alarm went off? Exactly. Well, we're

00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.079
doing that as well because we had to pull basically

00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:20.300
everything out of closets and rooms and all this

00:05:20.300 --> 00:05:22.889

thing, they don't fit me anymore. Well, not yet.

00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:55.439
No. There's no hope. It's like junior. There's

00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:57.279
no hope to return to that. No, I put the jacket

00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.459
on and I can close it, but the cut. That guy

00:05:59.459 --> 00:06:05.399
in a little coat. Yeah. No, but I wore the shit

00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:06.660
out of those things when I was in the hotel,

00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:09.180
and I'd sweat like a pig in those. I'm like,

00:06:09.220 --> 00:06:11.759
I'm just going to get rid of these. I don't even

00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:13.779
know why I kept them. It was funny because my

00:06:13.779 --> 00:06:15.420
son was getting frustrated because I would be

00:06:15.420 --> 00:06:16.980
like, you know, there's some things I'm like.

00:06:17.230 --> 00:06:18.949
i'm throwing this away i was like no no no you're

00:06:18.949 --> 00:06:20.610
not throwing that away because i'm a i'm a pack

00:06:20.610 --> 00:06:22.470
rat but also in the garage you have shit that

00:06:22.470 --> 00:06:24.610
like you know that's like you need something

00:06:24.610 --> 00:06:28.250
for the perfect jerry rig right it's like uh

00:06:28.250 --> 00:06:31.120
that thing is is I don't know. It's the perfect

00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:33.399
size. That board is two foot six and a half inches.

00:06:33.500 --> 00:06:36.120
It's perfect. Or, you know, oh, I need a metal

00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:38.579
rod that's like, you know, eight inches long

00:06:38.579 --> 00:06:41.639
and, you know, I think I got one of those. You

00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:43.160
know what I mean? It's just like stupid shit

00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.959
like that that you never know until the day somebody

00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.939
throws that shit out. That's what happens to

00:06:48.939 --> 00:06:53.540
hoarders. I may need this. I may need this box.

00:06:53.939 --> 00:06:57.259
My wife has trained me and I don't want to say

00:06:57.259 --> 00:06:59.240
trained, but she's... She has. Yeah, I guess

00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:02.399
she's trained. But the thing is, I'm starting

00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.120
to let go of a bunch of stuff like that because

00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.959
all it does is build. Frankly, I can't do shit

00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:11.259
in my garage anyways because my kids have commandeered

00:07:11.259 --> 00:07:14.360
it until they move out, you know, as far as with

00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:20.829
their extracurricular. It's always 70s. kind

00:07:20.829 --> 00:07:22.610
of theme. I don't know, what is that, 70s show?

00:07:22.810 --> 00:07:25.410
70s show. They got a 70s show hangout in there

00:07:25.410 --> 00:07:27.910
and I'm just like, okay, that's why I'm going

00:07:27.910 --> 00:07:30.970
to get pulled over. Great. Yeah, but my son was

00:07:30.970 --> 00:07:32.769
like, so you're just going to take all that stuff

00:07:32.769 --> 00:07:34.790
and move it to this corner for the next 15 years?

00:07:35.209 --> 00:07:39.550
And I was like, yeah, pretty much. Or, I said,

00:07:39.550 --> 00:07:41.970
when you have your own garage, you can have nothing

00:07:41.970 --> 00:07:44.810
in it. Whatever. You can throw everything away

00:07:44.810 --> 00:07:46.899
and then you go, damn it. Maybe dad has something

00:07:46.899 --> 00:07:49.639
I can use. Right? You have an eight -inch metal

00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:56.660
pipe? I renovated somebody's house for an older

00:07:56.660 --> 00:07:59.360
gentleman. He's passed away now. But his name

00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:00.699
is Dwight. And I think I may have spoke with

00:08:00.699 --> 00:08:03.839
him in the past. His name is Dwight Owen Coons.

00:08:03.980 --> 00:08:06.980
Yes. He was a flight surgeon for the Apollo program.

00:08:07.579 --> 00:08:10.779
And he was also a doctor. And my mother -in -law

00:08:10.779 --> 00:08:13.360
worked for him for an extended period. I hope

00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:15.379
he was a doctor if he was a flight surgeon. Yeah,

00:08:15.379 --> 00:08:18.939
he was a doctor. And he maintained his practice.

00:08:19.019 --> 00:08:21.379
He was also a paratrooper for the Canadian Air

00:08:21.379 --> 00:08:24.759
Force. He's got a huge history. So he was a huge

00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:27.439
pack rat. We were remodeling his house. He had

00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:29.720
passed away, and we remodeled his house while

00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.019
he was there. He passed away, and his wife continued

00:08:32.019 --> 00:08:34.559
to allow us to continue remodeling sections of

00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.159
the house. We do a kitchen, a bathroom, and then

00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:39.480
the patio, and just kind of jump from one spot

00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:42.019
to the other. And then she was like, hey, my

00:08:42.019 --> 00:08:45.960
husband has things in the attic. I'd like for

00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.250
you to get them out. And I was like, oh, okay.

00:08:48.429 --> 00:08:50.490
Like get rid of them or just tell me what's up

00:08:50.490 --> 00:08:51.649
there. She wanted to see what the fuck's up there.

00:08:51.730 --> 00:08:53.490
So I'm bringing him down and dude, I shit you

00:08:53.490 --> 00:08:59.090
not. He drank a lot of coffee and he had every

00:08:59.090 --> 00:09:02.490
coffee can he has ever purchased. Empty. No.

00:09:03.129 --> 00:09:05.570
He had a lid on every single one and they were

00:09:05.570 --> 00:09:08.129
filled. One was filled with nuts. One was filled

00:09:08.129 --> 00:09:11.269
with bolts. One had screws. One had hosiery.

00:09:11.309 --> 00:09:14.799
Those are good organizational habits. but there

00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:17.480
were thousands of them. Oh, God. Thousands of

00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:19.799
cans? Well, maybe not. I'll be a little sarcastic.

00:09:19.899 --> 00:09:21.919
There were hundreds, for sure. That gets heavy.

00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:25.100
And were they labeled? Yeah. Okay. They were

00:09:25.100 --> 00:09:26.919
organized. At least he knew where they were and

00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:29.519
what to get out of them. He had so many things

00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:32.899
up there. He had a lot of relics from the Apollo

00:09:32.899 --> 00:09:35.750
program. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, he had tons and

00:09:35.750 --> 00:09:39.409
tons and tons. Oh, that would be so cool to go

00:09:39.409 --> 00:09:42.629
through that. I actually had so much. You should

00:09:42.629 --> 00:09:46.090
have asked him if they landed on the moon. That

00:09:46.090 --> 00:09:48.830
didn't come up. But I will tell you. Where are

00:09:48.830 --> 00:09:52.070
the flagpoles? It was kind of. No shadow. Did

00:09:52.070 --> 00:09:54.669
she have no shadow? It was interesting because

00:09:54.669 --> 00:09:58.169
his last name was Coons. And back then, I know

00:09:58.169 --> 00:10:00.909
I've shared this before, but he had a picture

00:10:00.909 --> 00:10:03.769
hung on his wall, and it was a picture of Earth.

00:10:03.929 --> 00:10:06.870
And the other astronaut said, hey, we could not

00:10:06.870 --> 00:10:10.690
have done it without you. But his last name is

00:10:10.690 --> 00:10:13.629
Coons, and back then it was okay to use the word

00:10:13.629 --> 00:10:18.370
neg in that tone. And it was accepted back then.

00:10:18.509 --> 00:10:20.690
I mean, it's not accepted today, and I don't

00:10:20.690 --> 00:10:22.409
condone it, don't endorse it, et cetera, et cetera.

00:10:22.549 --> 00:10:25.009
But that was okay back then. In fact, when I

00:10:25.009 --> 00:10:26.850
looked at the picture and I looked at his wife,

00:10:26.929 --> 00:10:30.690
and I was like, it says to neg. And she was like,

00:10:30.769 --> 00:10:34.000
yeah, boo -boo. And I was like. Oh, and she just

00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:35.820
said it right out like it was nothing. She's

00:10:35.820 --> 00:10:37.700
like, oh, it was nothing to say back then. It

00:10:37.700 --> 00:10:40.639
was like a common thing. It's not an offensive

00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:43.460
thing to say it back then. So anyways, he got

00:10:43.460 --> 00:10:45.639
the name Dwight Owen Coons. Was he a black guy?

00:10:45.820 --> 00:10:49.080
No, he was white. His acronym was Doc, D -O -C,

00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:52.440
Dwight Owen Coons. And on the, we could not have

00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:54.940
done it with you. And it says, to Nick, we could

00:10:54.940 --> 00:10:58.200
not have done it with you. And all the astronauts

00:10:58.200 --> 00:10:59.980
had signed it, and it's a picture of the Earth.

00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.360
And I just think that was kind of a cool, I want

00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.759
to say artifact. It was a cool piece to have.

00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:07.580
And it's not something you probably find in the

00:11:07.580 --> 00:11:10.299
Smithsonian. Oh, no. Yeah, I don't think they'd

00:11:10.299 --> 00:11:13.379
display that at the Smithsonian. But it's still

00:11:13.379 --> 00:11:16.080
cool to have. That's his nickname. I guess that's

00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:18.860
hard to... And I still have all kinds of little

00:11:18.860 --> 00:11:25.419
NASA relics. these prototype spaceships. Like

00:11:25.419 --> 00:11:28.700
the fuse that Apollo 13 needed to get home? Is

00:11:28.700 --> 00:11:30.559
that the one that almost didn't make it back?

00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:34.379
Apollo 13? Yeah. They had the fuse. A man -made

00:11:34.379 --> 00:11:37.120
fuse? Yes. Well, no, they had multiple challenges,

00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:40.500
right? They had to power the thing completely

00:11:40.500 --> 00:11:43.279
down and power it up so that it didn't exceed

00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:46.320
a certain ridiculously low amount of power. Otherwise,

00:11:46.460 --> 00:11:48.320
it was, you know, yeah, they would go. They wouldn't

00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:49.200
have enough power to make it. They would pop

00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:51.360
it. Yeah, they wouldn't be able to make it work.

00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:54.799
And then they had, filtration problem and they

00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.220
had to take whatever was in the craft and make

00:11:57.220 --> 00:12:00.080
something so that it would filter out the excess

00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.340
carbon dioxide or they were going to pass out

00:12:02.340 --> 00:12:04.179
and die. There was like a number of things that

00:12:04.179 --> 00:12:05.259
would have killed them. I need to watch that

00:12:05.259 --> 00:12:07.500
movie again. It is a miracle that they made it

00:12:07.500 --> 00:12:09.580
back. It is a fantastic movie. How's that with

00:12:09.580 --> 00:12:11.139
the one with Tom Hanks? Oh yeah. It's Apollo

00:12:11.139 --> 00:12:15.659
13? And Bill Paxton. Was it Apollo 11? 13. It

00:12:15.659 --> 00:12:20.159
was Apollo 13? Yeah. Ronald Howard. Richie Cunningham

00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:23.379
made that movie. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Whatever happened

00:12:23.379 --> 00:12:25.620
to him? You mentioned, sorry, go ahead. Whatever

00:12:25.620 --> 00:12:28.139
happened to Richie Cunningham? He makes movies.

00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:30.659
Yeah, I mean, but just in general, he hasn't

00:12:30.659 --> 00:12:33.080
been in the news yet. You don't hear him blasting

00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:35.480
off about politics or anything like that. Isn't

00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:38.039
that refreshing? He did a little bit during the

00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:42.080
whole election thing. Oh, yeah. It may have been

00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:44.259
during COVID, but yeah, he pretty much kept his

00:12:44.259 --> 00:12:46.039
mouth shut, but I did hear him spout a couple

00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:49.159
of things. Yeah. Nothing too offensive. When

00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:50.940
you talked about like the artifacts that people

00:12:50.940 --> 00:12:52.899
find in their attics about NASA or whatever,

00:12:53.019 --> 00:12:54.639
it reminds me of the time that I was working

00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:57.559
at this company where this woman as a side business

00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:00.460
would put together slideshows like, you know,

00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:03.779
40th birthday, 60th wedding anniversary. And

00:13:03.779 --> 00:13:05.720
so people would bring her like pictures and stuff

00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:08.320
of, you know, what to put together for the presentation.

00:13:08.700 --> 00:13:10.940
And so I was walking by her cube and I was looking

00:13:10.940 --> 00:13:12.500
at all these pictures that were laid out on her

00:13:12.500 --> 00:13:16.820
cube. And I was like, are these? They were pictures.

00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:23.000
of the three leaders in World War II. So it was

00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:28.740
Stalin and Churchill and Roosevelt. And I was

00:13:28.740 --> 00:13:30.940
like, I looked at her, I go, are these first

00:13:30.940 --> 00:13:34.299
person pictures like from someone's camera? Yeah,

00:13:34.460 --> 00:13:37.940
I'm doing a slideshow for... Were you like, look

00:13:37.940 --> 00:13:42.039
over there. Yeah, he was a photographer during

00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:44.340
the war and she bought me these pictures and

00:13:44.340 --> 00:13:46.370
I'm like... Do you have any idea? And it was

00:13:46.370 --> 00:13:48.129
all the pictures you would never see in a textbook,

00:13:48.250 --> 00:13:50.850
like from the side and from the top and him zooming

00:13:50.850 --> 00:13:55.610
in. It gave me goosebumps that this guy was there

00:13:55.610 --> 00:13:57.990
taking pictures of this shit. It was amazing.

00:13:58.350 --> 00:14:01.629
And that kind of stuff is like... It's out there.

00:14:01.789 --> 00:14:03.289
It's out there. It's going to get lost. These

00:14:03.289 --> 00:14:04.870
people are going to die, get lost. It's going

00:14:04.870 --> 00:14:07.710
to go to some estate sale. Some collector. Somebody's

00:14:07.710 --> 00:14:11.710
going to buy these two walnuts for a dollar and

00:14:11.710 --> 00:14:15.330
not know that they're worth... $10 ,000 as a

00:14:15.330 --> 00:14:17.529
set. But you have to have a set. It has to be

00:14:17.529 --> 00:14:20.009
both of them. What is that show they have on,

00:14:20.070 --> 00:14:24.210
it might be PBS, where someone brings something.

00:14:24.230 --> 00:14:25.870
Antique Roadshow. Yeah, the Antique Roadshow.

00:14:25.950 --> 00:14:28.429
God bless. I have that. When we turn the TV on,

00:14:28.470 --> 00:14:30.990
it automatically goes to that show right now.

00:14:31.190 --> 00:14:33.429
It's a trip. I love watching that thing. These

00:14:33.429 --> 00:14:34.970
people are just always astonished. They're like,

00:14:35.049 --> 00:14:40.230
oh my God, this spoon is worth $10 ,000? I ate

00:14:40.230 --> 00:14:43.190
my porridge off of it. And then they get, pictures,

00:14:43.409 --> 00:14:45.789
like picture frames, and they get just for the

00:14:45.789 --> 00:14:47.590
picture frame, not for the picture, and they

00:14:47.590 --> 00:14:49.629
tear it open. It's like, oh, here's a first edition

00:14:49.629 --> 00:14:51.870
declaration of the independence. I was like,

00:14:51.889 --> 00:14:54.850
what? I mean, it's crazy what people have out

00:14:54.850 --> 00:14:57.269
there, and they don't know it. And you just stumble

00:14:57.269 --> 00:14:59.509
upon it sometimes. And they don't, and they don't,

00:14:59.509 --> 00:15:03.309
the children don't know what their parents have.

00:15:03.629 --> 00:15:07.230
This was under my bed, rolled in a carpet. This

00:15:07.230 --> 00:15:12.230
lady had a Civil War sword by a specific general.

00:15:12.769 --> 00:15:15.970
And it had been under her bed in a carpet forever.

00:15:16.149 --> 00:15:17.750
So when they moved, they were like, where am

00:15:17.750 --> 00:15:18.889
I going to put this? I don't know. Let's just

00:15:18.889 --> 00:15:20.629
tuck it here. So it was under there forever.

00:15:21.210 --> 00:15:24.610
Right. Through several mattresses. And when they

00:15:24.610 --> 00:15:26.450
moved, they were like, oh, what is this? Rolled

00:15:26.450 --> 00:15:29.590
it out. This thing comes out. Right. And then

00:15:29.590 --> 00:15:33.389
they found the sword. Insane. And he killed her?

00:15:34.389 --> 00:15:37.090
Yes. You find other nefarious things under there.

00:15:37.090 --> 00:15:39.590
You know the worst story I heard, kind of related

00:15:39.590 --> 00:15:43.480
to this, it was in Israel where... These children,

00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.440
as a surprise to their parents, bought them a

00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:49.659
new mattress. Wow. Took the old mattress out,

00:15:49.700 --> 00:15:51.620
threw it away, put the new mattress in, and the

00:15:51.620 --> 00:15:55.259
parents come in. It had his life savings in it.

00:15:55.899 --> 00:15:58.240
It's kind of like if you get a new workbench

00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.720
in your garage. Yeah, like your son wants to

00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:04.080
buy you a better organizational system, and then

00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:08.809
you're like, oh. You cut me deep, Jeff. Didn't

00:16:08.809 --> 00:16:11.429
that happen to you, Sean? 100%. I'll tell you

00:16:11.429 --> 00:16:13.450
what, man. Don't fuck with another man's tools.

00:16:13.750 --> 00:16:18.169
You know, I've got, it happened, you know, it's

00:16:18.169 --> 00:16:20.429
like. And it's so hard not to be like a loving

00:16:20.429 --> 00:16:26.029
dad. Oh, this is great, son. This like is totally

00:16:26.029 --> 00:16:28.909
better than what I had. Are those like good blades

00:16:28.909 --> 00:16:34.690
that you cut that with? So he tore out all sorts

00:16:34.690 --> 00:16:36.820
of stuff. Yeah. And replaced it with something

00:16:36.820 --> 00:16:40.000
that was like totally minimal. It was like two

00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:43.779
by fours and a plywood. And you're like, I could

00:16:43.779 --> 00:16:46.279
do a lot of work on this. Thanks, son. Yeah.

00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:48.799
Well, you know what? Whatever. It was the thought.

00:16:49.059 --> 00:16:51.259
It was the thought. But how do you not be like.

00:16:51.340 --> 00:16:52.500
Well, I remember when that happened, he was just

00:16:52.500 --> 00:16:55.480
like. You were fighting. You're just like, I

00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:57.440
can't yell. Yeah. Don't say it. Don't say it.

00:16:57.899 --> 00:16:59.759
Tell him you love him, Sean. Tell him you love

00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:06.359
him. Yes. And you're like, fuck. So did we ever,

00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:10.380
did we, we went to the whiskey festival, the

00:17:10.380 --> 00:17:13.519
Plano one. We did recently. Have we talked about

00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:16.619
that? No. We haven't had a podcast since then.

00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:19.759
Wow. That's a lot. That's not even on the board.

00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:22.119
What the hell am I thinking? Well, I looked down

00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:24.940
and saw the tickets that we got from the Bent

00:17:24.940 --> 00:17:28.380
Distillery. Yeah, we haven't talked in, what,

00:17:28.420 --> 00:17:31.519
three weeks? Yeah, so that was our second excursion

00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:33.799
to that festival, and this time we did not have

00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:35.660
the honor of having Mr. Jeff with us because

00:17:35.660 --> 00:17:38.539
you were frolicking, gallivanting. Not at that

00:17:38.539 --> 00:17:40.900
time. I was probably in Arkansas somewhere driving

00:17:40.900 --> 00:17:44.279
back. Whatever. You were off in your Kentucky

00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:48.279
experience where he had, oh, look, this is Joey.

00:17:48.380 --> 00:17:52.859
Oh, this is Joey. One after another. Did you

00:17:52.859 --> 00:17:58.880
count? It was 421 pitchers from 8 to 10 distilleries.

00:17:59.810 --> 00:18:01.569
Well, you know what? Good for you. And I saved

00:18:01.569 --> 00:18:03.170
all of them, actually. I got them in a little

00:18:03.170 --> 00:18:06.049
portfolio. But while he was out there doing this,

00:18:06.109 --> 00:18:07.890
man, he had a great time. Went out there to visit

00:18:07.890 --> 00:18:09.730
his sister, squared up on some family business,

00:18:09.970 --> 00:18:12.250
went out there to go visit the bourbon trail.

00:18:12.349 --> 00:18:14.349
You went to a bunch of them. While he was gone,

00:18:14.509 --> 00:18:18.250
it was Scott Cash and the rest of the dudes without

00:18:18.250 --> 00:18:22.529
you were out there. We represented. We did. We

00:18:22.529 --> 00:18:25.829
did our best. We saw 1845 folks were out there.

00:18:25.869 --> 00:18:27.990
Shout out to Lowry Crossing, 1845 Distillery.

00:18:28.089 --> 00:18:29.980
You guys are... Fantastic. But it was two new

00:18:29.980 --> 00:18:31.960
people that I had never met before. These were

00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:34.460
salespeople. Brandon. They were the external.

00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:38.019
Right. Brandon was out there. Brandon and, not

00:18:38.019 --> 00:18:42.099
Sophia. It started with an S. Clementine. Huh?

00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:46.500
Sarah? No. We'll go with that. Susie? No, it

00:18:46.500 --> 00:18:49.920
was like a long name. Sharon? Stefani. Stefani.

00:18:50.420 --> 00:18:53.019
Stephanopoulos. It couldn't have been Stephanopoulos,

00:18:53.019 --> 00:18:55.160
but that sounds similar. Snuffleupagus. Stuff

00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:59.769
me. Did he have a filtration problem in the room?

00:18:59.849 --> 00:19:01.990
Can you smell that? Yeah. Oh, sorry about that.

00:19:02.309 --> 00:19:04.450
Are you sorry? Did he just shit himself? No,

00:19:04.450 --> 00:19:05.789
that's not true. No, he shit on us. So it was

00:19:05.789 --> 00:19:08.369
1845 Distillery. We had Austin, Craft Spirits

00:19:08.369 --> 00:19:12.569
there, Balcones, Bent, Wyoming Green, Maverick

00:19:12.569 --> 00:19:16.869
Whiskey, Iron Root, Giant Texas, Mossy Horn.

00:19:17.369 --> 00:19:21.269
That was Maverick. Maverick. Maverick. I've never

00:19:21.269 --> 00:19:23.490
heard of that one. Maverick Whiskey. It was actually

00:19:23.490 --> 00:19:26.549
pretty fair. I apologize if Jeff and I are muffled

00:19:26.549 --> 00:19:29.690
at the moment. We have our shirts over our faces.

00:19:30.500 --> 00:19:32.839
due to a filtration problem here in the room.

00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:35.299
So Jackie Mack was out there representing the

00:19:35.299 --> 00:19:38.319
6th Street Spirits, and they had a barrel strength.

00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:42.259
You know what? I don't know if you know, last

00:19:42.259 --> 00:19:44.920
year when we had this podcast afterwards, Paul

00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:46.960
had to be evac'd because we just got slobbering

00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:49.539
drunk. We didn't eat beforehand, and it was a

00:19:49.539 --> 00:19:52.720
train wreck. It was an epic train wreck. This

00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:54.279
time we were like, hey, look, we're showing up

00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:57.740
early. It was a dramatic improvement. It was

00:19:57.740 --> 00:20:00.950
still a fail. I don't consider it a fail. We

00:20:00.950 --> 00:20:03.890
had goals. I don't consider it a fail because,

00:20:03.970 --> 00:20:08.750
look, I wanted to have fun. And I wanted to drink.

00:20:08.849 --> 00:20:12.450
And we had a driver. We had a plan. We did. And

00:20:12.450 --> 00:20:16.650
we ate beforehand. So, yes, we were drunk. But

00:20:16.650 --> 00:20:20.230
at the same time, it was a controlled, fun, good

00:20:20.230 --> 00:20:23.150
time. It was a major improvement. Sean had every

00:20:23.150 --> 00:20:26.089
meat on a stick that was available in downtown

00:20:26.089 --> 00:20:28.630
Plano. Yes. Yeah, well. You went on a rampage.

00:20:28.890 --> 00:20:32.029
A food truck rampage. Hey, look, I try to eat

00:20:32.029 --> 00:20:35.150
healthy all week so that I can anticipate that

00:20:35.150 --> 00:20:37.910
kind of stuff. And the trend prevails. Hey, man,

00:20:38.029 --> 00:20:39.670
I've lost another five pounds this week. I'm

00:20:39.670 --> 00:20:41.349
pretty excited about that. Oh, good. Well, there

00:20:41.349 --> 00:20:45.730
you go. And so we followed up by getting, we

00:20:45.730 --> 00:20:46.990
went to the same bar. What is the name of the

00:20:46.990 --> 00:20:50.789
bar we went to? I don't know. Train wreck. No,

00:20:50.869 --> 00:20:52.730
but we walk in there. We sat at the same table

00:20:52.730 --> 00:20:55.309
that we sat last year. Did you have bandanas

00:20:55.309 --> 00:20:59.230
on? No, we did not. We didn't. I'm telling you,

00:20:59.269 --> 00:21:02.589
we were toasty, but we weren't fucked up. We

00:21:02.589 --> 00:21:03.750
were fucked up last year. On the right back,

00:21:04.109 --> 00:21:07.069
Chuck did activate a lot of safety domes with

00:21:07.069 --> 00:21:11.069
his kind of aggressive, touchy -feely tendencies

00:21:11.069 --> 00:21:15.269
in nature. What is going on? Outside of that.

00:21:15.349 --> 00:21:17.710
I was in the front seat. Yeah, which made it

00:21:17.710 --> 00:21:20.700
really weird that you were reaching back. Did

00:21:20.700 --> 00:21:24.940
I bask in a sun visor? That was another time.

00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:29.900
You were almost comatose in the back seat. You

00:21:29.900 --> 00:21:32.119
were just kind of, oh, my God, I'm so drunk.

00:21:33.299 --> 00:21:39.059
You sounded like a sorority girl at a frat party.

00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:40.960
Oh, my God, I'm so drunk. I've been roofied.

00:21:40.980 --> 00:21:43.420
What is my butt for? I don't understand what

00:21:43.420 --> 00:21:47.059
happened. What happened? Whatever. It was a great

00:21:47.059 --> 00:21:50.329
time. We enjoyed it. Chuck, we got to. Take care

00:21:50.329 --> 00:21:51.970
of your son. We never really did pay, did we?

00:21:52.029 --> 00:21:53.990
Right. Because I kept asking. We got to settle

00:21:53.990 --> 00:21:56.109
everything up. Yeah. Well, we got to set up because

00:21:56.109 --> 00:21:59.569
I need to get funded for the tickets. They were

00:21:59.569 --> 00:22:02.809
$30. I think I'm out of the pocket. $135. And

00:22:02.809 --> 00:22:06.210
the bar tab and the ride. I was asking, what's

00:22:06.210 --> 00:22:08.009
the amount, gentlemen? Well, all right. Well,

00:22:08.069 --> 00:22:13.269
let's get that set up. Jeff bought like a fucking

00:22:13.269 --> 00:22:15.910
20 bottles of bourbon while he was out there.

00:22:15.910 --> 00:22:17.950
He came back with a trailer full of bourbon.

00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:20.819
I had to get a hitch for the car. Yeah. Hey,

00:22:20.900 --> 00:22:23.440
man, I'm excited. I'm super excited. And Jeff,

00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:25.180
I think he's a little butthurt because we didn't

00:22:25.180 --> 00:22:26.859
want to jump in there and open all the Christmas

00:22:26.859 --> 00:22:28.559
presents. They want it to be like Christmas every

00:22:28.559 --> 00:22:30.339
week. Yes, we want it. You realize it's going

00:22:30.339 --> 00:22:32.039
to take the rest of the year to get through all

00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:34.339
of it. Hey, I'm excited about that. Christmas

00:22:34.339 --> 00:22:37.000
every Tuesday. I called it. Didn't you say that?

00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:39.299
It's our Tuesday advent calendar. I love it.

00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:41.599
Yeah. I'm in. They're our first ones tonight.

00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:44.380
We'll talk about it. We'll talk about it a little

00:22:44.380 --> 00:22:49.960
bit. Open the little door. Anyway, so we got

00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:52.119
a ton of... Shit, I've got five bottles at the

00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:54.420
house we haven't even brought over yet. Good.

00:22:54.460 --> 00:22:56.940
So we're not buying whiskey for a while. I'm

00:22:56.940 --> 00:22:58.440
going to have to do a payment plan, like I said.

00:22:58.660 --> 00:23:02.319
Well, it is what it is. But the whiskey festival

00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:04.819
is good. Balcones represented out there. Mylon

00:23:04.819 --> 00:23:08.440
McGream represented. Shout out again to Jackie

00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:11.180
Mack from the 6th Street Street. They were introducing

00:23:11.180 --> 00:23:13.799
a barrel strength, which was pretty good. That

00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:18.000
was Austin Street. Did they have Chuck's favorite,

00:23:18.220 --> 00:23:21.920
the spiced one? No, they did not have that one.

00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:25.500
No, no, no. We laughed our asses out there. So,

00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:28.039
6th Street, Austin, or Austin 6th Street, whatever

00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:30.819
the name of that is, that's the one with the

00:23:30.819 --> 00:23:33.579
guitar bottle. And I think we have sampled it

00:23:33.579 --> 00:23:36.279
before, and we were like, well, that one, Jeff

00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:40.680
bought a peculiar, what was that all about? It

00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:43.420
was like a candied one? No, what I bought was

00:23:43.420 --> 00:23:46.599
a rock and rye. It was terrible. Yeah, but there

00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:49.119
was some sort of, like they dumped a box of Nerds

00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:50.559
in there or something. What was that all about?

00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:53.279
I mean, it was hard candy plus cloves plus...

00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:55.579
You're talking about a bottle that you purchased

00:23:55.579 --> 00:23:59.180
elsewhere. Okay, because I was at the festival.

00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:01.299
Those were good. Yeah, they were fine. Do they

00:24:01.299 --> 00:24:03.359
distill their own shit or are they buying their

00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:05.920
juice from someone? You're always asking these

00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:08.059
difficult questions that we're supposed to ask

00:24:08.059 --> 00:24:10.720
them. Do you guys make your own distillate? I

00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:14.549
ask them. Do they? No, I can't remember. Are

00:24:14.549 --> 00:24:18.130
you sure? I'm positive. And, you know, it's kind

00:24:18.130 --> 00:24:22.769
of crazy because now that MPG is, aren't they

00:24:22.769 --> 00:24:24.529
going private or something where you can't even

00:24:24.529 --> 00:24:25.910
get their shit anymore? They're starting to pull

00:24:25.910 --> 00:24:28.829
back their own stuff. Well, they've opened up

00:24:28.829 --> 00:24:34.589
their own line. If you see Ross and Squibb Distillery,

00:24:34.769 --> 00:24:37.410
that's MGP. So they'll bottle it under Ross and

00:24:37.410 --> 00:24:41.829
Squibb. Like Remus is Ross and Squibb. And they

00:24:41.829 --> 00:24:45.599
have a few others out there. they purchased Penelope.

00:24:46.940 --> 00:24:49.839
So Penelope is now owned by MGP. Interesting.

00:24:49.980 --> 00:24:53.000
And Penelope was MGP juice anyway. You mean Penelope?

00:24:53.579 --> 00:24:55.779
Penelope, yes. Penelope. Yeah, okay. Penelope,

00:24:55.779 --> 00:24:58.160
yes. You always say it wrong. Yeah, Penelope.

00:24:58.359 --> 00:25:01.359
Okay, so our Mr. Producer brought up Austin Street

00:25:01.359 --> 00:25:03.880
Spirits, and it says it's a micro distillery.

00:25:03.940 --> 00:25:08.299
So you guys might be wrong. Wrong. Very wrong.

00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:11.559
I think they make their own stuff. I don't know.

00:25:11.579 --> 00:25:14.259
That's why I asked the question. I thought she

00:25:14.259 --> 00:25:17.660
said that they buy MTP juice. It was good, though.

00:25:17.779 --> 00:25:20.440
I was impressed. Now, granted, it was towards

00:25:20.440 --> 00:25:23.900
the end in terms of the circle of booths. I thought

00:25:23.900 --> 00:25:26.940
it was right in the middle. It was on the end,

00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:29.940
meaning you kind of circle and come back, which,

00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:31.900
you know, at that point... That'd be the middle.

00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:34.839
No, no, no. Because there weren't as many on

00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:37.380
that side as the other side. All right. All right.

00:25:37.460 --> 00:25:39.940
Fair enough. Fair enough. But here's a big win.

00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:41.900
Remember last time we didn't make it to the end.

00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:44.319
Dude, we were drunk on the third booth. We didn't

00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:45.700
make it. We didn't make it to the end. And I

00:25:45.700 --> 00:25:47.099
didn't bring my... You didn't finish it again?

00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:50.019
This time, we not only made it all the way around,

00:25:50.099 --> 00:25:53.000
we went back to several that were our favorites.

00:25:53.539 --> 00:25:56.039
So it was a tremendous... We hung out at the

00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:59.319
1845 booth for an extended period. We did. There

00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:01.779
was a huge gust of wind that had just come through.

00:26:01.819 --> 00:26:04.700
It was crazy. And we're just like the 10 by 10

00:26:04.700 --> 00:26:08.079
tent was almost airborne. We all jumped up and

00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:10.140
grabbed it. And they were like, oh, thank you,

00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:12.299
thank you. And we immediately just hold our glass

00:26:12.299 --> 00:26:15.900
out and just fill our cup. It was constantly

00:26:15.900 --> 00:26:17.779
being filled. We didn't have to be a hero for

00:26:17.779 --> 00:26:20.019
that. But it was appreciated. Did you make any

00:26:20.019 --> 00:26:24.640
more contacts for podcast visits? We told a number

00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:26.900
of people about the podcast, for sure. Yeah,

00:26:27.059 --> 00:26:31.519
but we need to get the t -shirts. And I think

00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:34.480
Chuck... Oh, hey, you want to bring them? Jackie

00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:36.359
Mack totally called us out on it. She was like,

00:26:36.779 --> 00:26:39.640
You're seriously not wearing. Oh, look who he's

00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:41.759
got. You're not wearing your pocket. Here we

00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:45.420
go. This is the reveal, gentlemen. Oh, wow. He

00:26:45.420 --> 00:26:49.119
had shirts made. Throw it to Paul. I don't want

00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:50.779
you missing. All right, let's take a look here.

00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:53.960
Are they size fat? You two need to trade, I think.

00:26:54.839 --> 00:26:57.599
I love it. I think you need to trade. Sean, Paul.

00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:02.579
Oh, no. I'd smell that. I'd smell that. So on

00:27:02.579 --> 00:27:04.779
the back, dude's like his podcast. I'd smell

00:27:04.779 --> 00:27:09.529
that. That is awesome. Are you talking about

00:27:09.529 --> 00:27:12.269
the size? Yeah. Oh, okay. Is that you? Yeah,

00:27:12.269 --> 00:27:14.910
I've got a 2X. This is an XL. I've got a 2X.

00:27:14.950 --> 00:27:16.369
Yeah, I've got a 2X. Okay, all right. Whatever

00:27:16.369 --> 00:27:18.309
you need. I have one extra. Let's describe this

00:27:18.309 --> 00:27:20.049
for our listeners. So on the front right patch,

00:27:20.289 --> 00:27:23.089
it says, dudes like us. It's a barrel top. At

00:27:23.089 --> 00:27:25.230
the end of it, there's a microphone. State of

00:27:25.230 --> 00:27:29.730
Texas. That's sharp, man. And on the back, that's

00:27:29.730 --> 00:27:32.549
a bigger one of the logo, and it says, I'd smell

00:27:32.549 --> 00:27:36.450
that. And that's a direct reference to, I believe.

00:27:37.589 --> 00:27:40.650
Natalie Portman's asshole. Jessica Alba. Jessica

00:27:40.650 --> 00:27:44.509
Alba. What? I'm not sure what prompted somebody

00:27:44.509 --> 00:27:47.150
else to say that. Something about her. You said

00:27:47.150 --> 00:27:49.509
that. You said that. What are you talking about?

00:27:49.549 --> 00:27:51.450
I would never say that. You're talking about

00:27:51.450 --> 00:27:53.890
just some other person. Why would I say that

00:27:53.890 --> 00:27:56.890
about another woman? That's crazy. I don't know.

00:27:56.910 --> 00:27:58.799
Only you could answer that. Yeah, I know. Okay.

00:27:58.900 --> 00:28:01.259
Only you. Because I would smell that. All right.

00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:03.279
Anyway, so. I think we all would. These are fantastic,

00:28:03.619 --> 00:28:06.740
Chuck. Yes. Just walking around with them. At

00:28:06.740 --> 00:28:08.579
all events. Just say hi. At all events, we need

00:28:08.579 --> 00:28:10.759
to wear this. 100%. Because we'll stand out and

00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:13.000
be like, what is that? Even on our Friday runs.

00:28:13.259 --> 00:28:16.660
I know that might seem corny, but it's not. Yeah.

00:28:16.700 --> 00:28:19.380
All right. Deal. it's already a thing where like,

00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:20.859
you know, the people at Total Wine would be like,

00:28:20.859 --> 00:28:22.920
these guys, they do a podcast. And we're like,

00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:26.859
yeah, we do. Chuck, he also got, is it a monthly

00:28:26.859 --> 00:28:29.599
or annually subscription? So he got an annual

00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:34.680
subscription to the software that you use to

00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:38.380
get the graphics to make those. Is it just the

00:28:38.380 --> 00:28:40.960
graphics or is it the whole t -shirt thing? Well,

00:28:40.980 --> 00:28:44.220
yeah. Well, you can, it's called design .com

00:28:44.220 --> 00:28:47.630
and you can go have them kind of create, Maybe

00:28:47.630 --> 00:28:49.890
a half a dozen logos for you. And then you can

00:28:49.890 --> 00:28:51.910
pick one and send that off to Amazon and have

00:28:51.910 --> 00:28:55.150
them printed on a shirt. Yeah. With the graphic,

00:28:55.349 --> 00:28:59.069
you know, JPEG or whatever you got. Oh, I've

00:28:59.069 --> 00:29:03.230
got two of them here. I bought an extra. All

00:29:03.230 --> 00:29:05.430
right. This is fantastic. Yeah, very cool. Thank

00:29:05.430 --> 00:29:06.910
you for taking that initiative. That's super

00:29:06.910 --> 00:29:08.549
cool. That turned out very, very well. Yeah,

00:29:08.569 --> 00:29:11.490
I'm super excited about that. I can't wait to

00:29:11.490 --> 00:29:14.690
contemplate on the next one. But right now, I

00:29:14.690 --> 00:29:16.450
think we're going to... We're going to wear those

00:29:16.450 --> 00:29:19.230
Friday, right? I hate it. Are we all in town

00:29:19.230 --> 00:29:24.089
Friday? I'd smell that. I think so. Good grief,

00:29:24.230 --> 00:29:27.329
man. I know. I think so. You know where we should

00:29:27.329 --> 00:29:29.049
wear these? Remember you signed up for the White

00:29:29.049 --> 00:29:32.190
House press conference? Oh, yes. Did we get our

00:29:32.190 --> 00:29:34.509
press pass? We are wearing these. Caroline Lennox

00:29:34.509 --> 00:29:37.609
calling on us. Our press credential. You know,

00:29:37.609 --> 00:29:40.069
I need to follow up on that. See, we're going

00:29:40.069 --> 00:29:41.789
to stand up and the camera's going to be like,

00:29:41.930 --> 00:29:43.509
and everyone's going to see, I'd smell that.

00:29:44.630 --> 00:29:48.089
As we're asking our question. Actually, we need

00:29:48.089 --> 00:29:50.349
a little, on the front side, in the lower section,

00:29:50.549 --> 00:29:52.809
because the shirt will fall down over our waist,

00:29:52.869 --> 00:29:55.289
we put a little scratch and sniff right there

00:29:55.289 --> 00:29:57.009
on the very bottom. That's a horrible idea. Well,

00:29:57.009 --> 00:29:59.769
right now it's near our butt crack, so. Yeah.

00:29:59.869 --> 00:30:02.569
It's just lower back. Lower back. Small. That's

00:30:02.569 --> 00:30:04.269
great. That's good. And we had a great time,

00:30:04.329 --> 00:30:07.269
the Whiskey Festival. And Jackie Mack, she's

00:30:07.269 --> 00:30:10.190
the proponent behind pushing us to get those

00:30:10.190 --> 00:30:11.829
t -shirts. She's told us that several times.

00:30:11.930 --> 00:30:13.329
And it's just like another failed opportunity.

00:30:13.769 --> 00:30:17.349
You know, we are starting to take the podcast

00:30:17.349 --> 00:30:20.410
step by step a little bit more, better and better,

00:30:20.470 --> 00:30:22.609
like tomorrow, for example. First of all, are

00:30:22.609 --> 00:30:24.910
we caught up? Yes. I believe so. Yeah, we're

00:30:24.910 --> 00:30:26.789
100%. So, I mean, tomorrow, are we prepared to

00:30:26.789 --> 00:30:32.460
come here and edit? And do our new routine. Yeah,

00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:34.319
in theory. I mean, I have a dinner. I have an

00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:38.799
executive dinner tomorrow. Steak and potatoes?

00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:45.240
That's Thursdays. You know what? Whatever. We'll

00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:47.000
figure it out. If we can't do it, we can't do

00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:50.660
it. Again, we want to make an agreement. Whatever.

00:30:50.799 --> 00:30:53.019
The thing is that we need to get it out sooner

00:30:53.019 --> 00:30:56.880
than later. And we also need to depend on Jeff

00:30:56.880 --> 00:30:58.750
to get this shit done all the time. right you

00:30:58.750 --> 00:31:00.450
know dudes like us out there you know this is

00:31:00.450 --> 00:31:02.630
what we do for fun it's our hobby it's something

00:31:02.630 --> 00:31:04.430
that we enjoy doing we've been friends for a

00:31:04.430 --> 00:31:06.950
long time and there's people that have approached

00:31:06.950 --> 00:31:09.349
us and says you guys are idiots you need to freaking

00:31:09.349 --> 00:31:11.650
start your own podcast and we're like you know

00:31:11.650 --> 00:31:14.349
what i think we'd smell that i think let's do

00:31:14.349 --> 00:31:16.910
that we'd smell that hey man you know it was

00:31:16.910 --> 00:31:20.289
just a compilation of errors that we just stumbled

00:31:20.289 --> 00:31:22.730
on this it just worked out i can't believe this

00:31:22.730 --> 00:31:25.210
is where we're at now even though we have eight

00:31:25.210 --> 00:31:29.990
listeners And thanks, Mom and Dad. Shout out

00:31:29.990 --> 00:31:34.170
to Larry. Shout out to Brian out there. All of

00:31:34.170 --> 00:31:36.549
our kids. We know them all by name. Yeah, well,

00:31:36.690 --> 00:31:39.569
you know. It's a good time. I think there's more.

00:31:39.650 --> 00:31:43.130
I don't trust those analytics. It's really frustrating.

00:31:43.170 --> 00:31:44.950
There is more. It's frustrating that, I mean,

00:31:44.950 --> 00:31:47.309
in this day and age with how important those

00:31:47.309 --> 00:31:50.289
numbers are to people that are monetizing and

00:31:50.289 --> 00:31:52.390
have their business and stuff, how are those

00:31:52.390 --> 00:31:55.049
numbers, like, super accurate? I don't know.

00:31:55.420 --> 00:31:56.960
I don't know. They can't do it. They can't get

00:31:56.960 --> 00:31:58.799
accurate numbers. It's so weird. They even say

00:31:58.799 --> 00:32:00.019
they can't get accurate numbers. I know. That's

00:32:00.019 --> 00:32:02.359
what I mean. It's like, what? I guess really

00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:05.180
the best thing to do is how many subscribers

00:32:05.180 --> 00:32:07.880
you have. And that's really what we need people

00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:09.440
to do is go to Instagram and subscribe. Well,

00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:11.440
you've got to look at YouTube. You've got to

00:32:11.440 --> 00:32:13.940
look at YouTube. You've got to look at... Yeah,

00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:15.519
Instagram, the followers. Well, that's a good

00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:18.039
point. We're on so many platforms that it's diluted.

00:32:18.819 --> 00:32:20.660
Yes, that was the word I was going to use. I'll

00:32:20.660 --> 00:32:22.519
tell you what. If the listeners out there are

00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:24.259
listening right now, you can direct messages

00:32:24.259 --> 00:32:27.839
on Instagram or Facebook. Do the Dudes Like Us

00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:31.579
podcast on either of them. Just give us a help,

00:32:31.660 --> 00:32:36.339
man. We're super smart but super dumb or ignorant

00:32:36.339 --> 00:32:38.019
or whatever. I hate making it sound negative.

00:32:38.180 --> 00:32:40.859
We just need to be pushed. And we've had some

00:32:40.859 --> 00:32:43.630
great advice. from several people. And really,

00:32:43.710 --> 00:32:45.569
at the end of the day, we need cameras. So if

00:32:45.569 --> 00:32:47.589
you guys want to help fund our cameras, God bless.

00:32:47.789 --> 00:32:50.029
That would be wonderful. Check out our Facebook.

00:32:50.210 --> 00:32:55.190
I have a QR code directly to the DS Murphy Productions

00:32:55.190 --> 00:32:57.769
bank account. Feel free to send it. Hey, nice.

00:32:58.210 --> 00:33:01.829
It'll fund the dudes like us. Maybe. Speaking

00:33:01.829 --> 00:33:06.990
of funding, so you're done with the... God bless

00:33:06.990 --> 00:33:09.980
the... The repairs in the house, 100 % done.

00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:12.839
And we're still kind of trying to get things

00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:15.559
cleaned up a little bit, step by step. Things

00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:17.519
look great up here. Super excited about it. Yeah.

00:33:17.539 --> 00:33:19.680
We did a rearrangement of the green room. I think

00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:21.099
it was an improvement. Yeah, I think so too.

00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:23.740
And you know the irony? I know you had a big

00:33:23.740 --> 00:33:26.079
blowout in your attic with your water heater.

00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:29.720
I had a much more fortunate experience. The water

00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:32.980
just didn't, it wasn't hot anymore, right? And

00:33:32.980 --> 00:33:34.819
so it was like, okay, the pilot light must have

00:33:34.819 --> 00:33:36.460
gone out in the attic, right? So I go up there,

00:33:36.539 --> 00:33:39.599
and the pan is full of water. Oh. And I'm like,

00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:42.759
that's not good. And so I call my buddy, who's

00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:45.700
a plumber, and he's like, he figured out how

00:33:45.700 --> 00:33:47.900
old the water heater was, and he's like, with

00:33:47.900 --> 00:33:52.579
a leak, he's never seen one not have blowout.

00:33:53.180 --> 00:33:56.079
So I was extremely fortunate. Where's yours at?

00:33:56.500 --> 00:33:58.559
In the attic. Well, I know, but what part of

00:33:58.559 --> 00:34:02.339
upstairs? Right over the media room. Literally,

00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:05.059
it actually straddles the media room and the

00:34:05.059 --> 00:34:07.799
game room where my bar is. Oh, yeah. It straddles

00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:10.159
that wall. So it's right over the pony wall we

00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:13.519
want to take out. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. You

00:34:13.519 --> 00:34:16.079
should let it go. Should let it go, I guess.

00:34:16.139 --> 00:34:19.360
Yeah. Oh, yeah. We could have paid for that remodel,

00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:22.039
I guess. Yeah, I guess. That's not too late.

00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:28.239
I would not. Hey, it sprung a leak. Yeah, it

00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:31.929
was an experience. And you kind of walked me

00:34:31.929 --> 00:34:34.190
through it in that emergency moment, Sean, and

00:34:34.190 --> 00:34:36.110
I appreciated that. I was like, you know, so

00:34:36.110 --> 00:34:38.889
we grabbed a hose and hooked it up super quick

00:34:38.889 --> 00:34:41.590
and started draining it down into the tub and

00:34:41.590 --> 00:34:47.869
kind of got the emergency passed and then I could

00:34:47.869 --> 00:34:49.550
shut it off. Yeah, you got to be careful too.

00:34:50.190 --> 00:34:53.690
Some people, it has happened in the past where

00:34:53.690 --> 00:34:56.710
once you start draining it, a lot of the integrity

00:34:56.710 --> 00:34:59.900
of a water heater is when it's full. Right, because

00:34:59.900 --> 00:35:02.059
the pressure of the water is kind of holding

00:35:02.059 --> 00:35:05.000
the walls together. So some folks are like, well,

00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:06.860
I drained it. It's about halfway. I should be

00:35:06.860 --> 00:35:09.880
good for now. Well, that's not because the pressure

00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:12.480
kind of collapses inward a little bit. No, I

00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:16.599
drained it completely empty. That's good. There's

00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:20.079
little simple things on how to drain it by allowing

00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:22.719
air in and making sure. They don't make it easy

00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:24.679
because they have a knob at the base where you

00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:29.420
hook the water. the hose to. We figured that

00:35:29.420 --> 00:35:31.960
out. It should be a valve that you simply, it's

00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:35.820
counterclockwise or clockwise. And one's open

00:35:35.820 --> 00:35:38.019
and one's closed. Like all the way open, all

00:35:38.019 --> 00:35:39.820
the way closed, right? With this one, it's similar

00:35:39.820 --> 00:35:44.280
to a gas line where it is a T -valve, essentially.

00:35:44.579 --> 00:35:47.300
So it's like halfway open is open. So you turn

00:35:47.300 --> 00:35:50.079
the dial a quarter turn. Right. You turn a quarter

00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:52.719
turn and - In either direction, yes. Yeah. If

00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:55.579
it's alignment, it's open. Otherwise, closed.

00:35:55.579 --> 00:35:57.539
If it's perpendicular, then it's closed. But

00:35:57.539 --> 00:35:59.280
it just doesn't make sense the way they did it.

00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:02.639
It doesn't. And it's funny, because Brody's down

00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:05.619
in the bathroom, and you're walking me through

00:36:05.619 --> 00:36:08.380
opening it up, and he's like, it's a little harder.

00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:10.519
No, it's off. No, he's got a little bit more.

00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:13.760
No, it's not. And then finally, you're like,

00:36:13.900 --> 00:36:16.599
make it aligned. And he's like, oh, it's blasting

00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:21.159
out now. So we're like, ah. How many days did

00:36:21.159 --> 00:36:24.199
you go without hot water? Same day. Oh, same

00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:26.320
day. Yeah, I mean, as soon as it got cold, we

00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:28.659
were like, I went up there to see what the hell

00:36:28.659 --> 00:36:30.380
was going on. And you know the other funny thing?

00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:33.239
I'm like, I know I have one of those things that

00:36:33.239 --> 00:36:36.539
lay in the pan and are supposed to set off an

00:36:36.539 --> 00:36:39.079
alarm. And I go up there and I'm like, why didn't

00:36:39.079 --> 00:36:41.860
it? It's sitting outside of the pan. I'm like,

00:36:41.900 --> 00:36:45.860
well, that's helpful. And not only that, though,

00:36:45.980 --> 00:36:50.460
that unit had died long ago. Like he was trying

00:36:50.460 --> 00:36:52.380
to get it to go off, like to test it and stuff.

00:36:52.420 --> 00:36:54.880
And it had, dude, that thing's been sitting in

00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:59.440
the, you know, sweltering attic for 20 years.

00:36:59.539 --> 00:37:01.320
So it's these experiences, and I'm glad we're

00:37:01.320 --> 00:37:03.119
talking about it, you know, and it's unfortunate

00:37:03.119 --> 00:37:05.719
that it happened to Jeff, and it's fortunate

00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:08.880
that the way you caught it, but it's, dudes like

00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:11.380
us go, shit happens. Because once that stuff,

00:37:11.599 --> 00:37:15.179
you know. I mean, the first one, I did proactively

00:37:15.179 --> 00:37:17.369
change. Because somebody had told me, when it

00:37:17.369 --> 00:37:19.670
gets about the 10 -year mark, you need to just

00:37:19.670 --> 00:37:22.289
go ahead and replace it. And I did, with no problems.

00:37:22.329 --> 00:37:24.409
I think there were no problems at the time. This

00:37:24.409 --> 00:37:27.730
one, I let go 15. And he was like, yeah, you

00:37:27.730 --> 00:37:28.889
got rid of it. You've been in the house for 25

00:37:28.889 --> 00:37:34.769
years? No, since 2003. That's when we moved in.

00:37:34.789 --> 00:37:38.309
22, yeah. 22. So in the first one, I think it

00:37:38.309 --> 00:37:41.809
was eight years, and then 15. So 23 years, yeah.

00:37:42.170 --> 00:37:46.119
Well, shoot, man. We're getting old. I know,

00:37:46.219 --> 00:37:49.039
right? Yeah, we moved in here the same year,

00:37:49.059 --> 00:37:52.699
2003, over Labor Day. Yep. Ours was like February.

00:37:55.119 --> 00:37:59.940
And why I distinctly remember that is I watched

00:37:59.940 --> 00:38:04.320
Columbia, the Columbia shuttle. Remember it re

00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:05.860
-entered over Texas? Oh, is that when it blew

00:38:05.860 --> 00:38:08.440
up? I watched it break apart on the horizon going,

00:38:08.619 --> 00:38:11.039
what the hell was that? And it was an empty house.

00:38:11.179 --> 00:38:14.389
Like we, I was with my brothers. We were kind

00:38:14.389 --> 00:38:16.170
of having a little camping night before we even

00:38:16.170 --> 00:38:18.550
moved in. Right. And they were sleeping, and

00:38:18.550 --> 00:38:20.289
I was looking over at the horizon out that window,

00:38:20.349 --> 00:38:22.170
and I was like, and it was sonic boom. I was

00:38:22.170 --> 00:38:24.550
like, dude, what is going on? And then my pager

00:38:24.550 --> 00:38:27.349
went off about 15 minutes later. Communication

00:38:27.349 --> 00:38:29.789
with Columbia lost. And I was like, no way did

00:38:29.789 --> 00:38:33.289
I just watch that happen. That was insane. And

00:38:33.289 --> 00:38:35.230
that's basically when I moved into the house.

00:38:35.869 --> 00:38:37.650
I was wondering how that conversation came up.

00:38:37.789 --> 00:38:39.750
I know. I'm going to dismiss. Yeah, you're like,

00:38:39.849 --> 00:38:42.409
quick left turn, huh? Yeah, well, I was trying

00:38:42.409 --> 00:38:43.670
to make a left turn somewhere else, and then

00:38:43.670 --> 00:38:46.690
I lost track of what was going on. Yeah. Well,

00:38:46.730 --> 00:38:48.289
cool. All right, so what else has happened in

00:38:48.289 --> 00:38:51.650
the long break that we... Well, March Madness

00:38:51.650 --> 00:38:54.210
is going on, and I have watched zero of it, and

00:38:54.210 --> 00:38:56.070
I could care less about it this year. Yeah, I

00:38:56.070 --> 00:38:56.949
don't care about it at all. I didn't even do

00:38:56.949 --> 00:38:59.829
a bracket. Not that I really care, but I don't

00:38:59.829 --> 00:39:01.710
even know who's in it at this point. I see up

00:39:01.710 --> 00:39:04.030
there it says Final Four, all number ones. Yeah,

00:39:04.030 --> 00:39:06.969
so that's the first time in 17 years that all

00:39:06.969 --> 00:39:10.489
four of the regions... The number one seed made

00:39:10.489 --> 00:39:12.230
it to the Final Four. I've been hearing a lot

00:39:12.230 --> 00:39:14.929
of theories on this that the day of the Cinderella

00:39:14.929 --> 00:39:18.889
team could be over because of the whole NIL thing.

00:39:19.230 --> 00:39:21.590
Because what happens is this whole transfer portal,

00:39:21.750 --> 00:39:24.110
it's wrecking basketball just like it's wrecking

00:39:24.110 --> 00:39:26.210
football. Yep. What's happening are these big

00:39:26.210 --> 00:39:28.969
schools, the number one seeds, are poaching the

00:39:28.969 --> 00:39:31.690
good players off of all these little teams. Stacking

00:39:31.690 --> 00:39:35.070
teams. So you may have a SMU that does really

00:39:35.070 --> 00:39:37.190
well one year because they have a really good

00:39:37.190 --> 00:39:39.650
player on there. They make it to the Sweet 16.

00:39:39.710 --> 00:39:42.550
Well, Duke's going to go to that guy and go,

00:39:42.610 --> 00:39:44.110
I want to pay you this much if you come play.

00:39:44.150 --> 00:39:47.829
Okay. So then SMU's back down. I get so confused

00:39:47.829 --> 00:39:50.210
about NIL. So you're saying the schools are paying

00:39:50.210 --> 00:39:54.909
them? Yes. I thought they were allowed to have

00:39:54.909 --> 00:39:58.690
endorsement deals. I thought their money was

00:39:58.690 --> 00:40:00.750
coming from them. I thought the schools had a

00:40:00.750 --> 00:40:02.630
budget they were able to pay these people. But

00:40:02.630 --> 00:40:05.099
Duke is in the Final Four, aren't they? Typically

00:40:05.099 --> 00:40:06.440
on the Final Four? Oh, well, they're always.

00:40:06.559 --> 00:40:08.539
Oh, yeah. Yeah, they're perennially good. So,

00:40:08.559 --> 00:40:12.139
Chuck, can you look up how does NIL work? How

00:40:12.139 --> 00:40:14.019
does the. It's name, image, likeness. Where does

00:40:14.019 --> 00:40:16.599
that money come from? It's name, image, likeness

00:40:16.599 --> 00:40:19.119
is what that stands for. Right. So, like, they'll

00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:21.199
get paid for if they're on the video games and

00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:23.980
shit like that. But I also think the schools

00:40:23.980 --> 00:40:25.639
could pay them. I could be 100 % right on that.

00:40:25.639 --> 00:40:27.239
Yeah, I've always been curious about where the

00:40:27.239 --> 00:40:29.760
money comes from. I think boosters can do it.

00:40:30.030 --> 00:40:31.429
All right, let's see here. You're right. It's

00:40:31.429 --> 00:40:33.789
name, image, likeness. Money for college athletes

00:40:33.789 --> 00:40:37.510
comes from NIL collectives. Collectives. Boosters

00:40:37.510 --> 00:40:40.949
and donors. Boosters. Boners. Boners and boosters.

00:40:41.389 --> 00:40:44.389
That's like AOC saying farts. I was 100 % wrong.

00:40:44.489 --> 00:40:46.690
Okay, I admit that. It says not directly from

00:40:46.690 --> 00:40:49.989
the universities or NCAA, but those boosters

00:40:49.989 --> 00:40:52.889
of Duke are working in conjunction with those

00:40:52.889 --> 00:40:54.989
coaches. You know it. Going, I want that person.

00:40:55.050 --> 00:40:57.139
Go get them. Before it became, quote, legal,

00:40:57.239 --> 00:40:58.679
that's what the boosters were doing. That's how

00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:01.940
SMU got the death penalty. Yep. I mean, and that's

00:41:01.940 --> 00:41:05.079
how Johnny Manziel got paid by A &M boosters,

00:41:05.219 --> 00:41:06.780
right? Yep. I mean, that's just how it worked.

00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:09.760
Yep. Well, now it's legal. Now it's legal. So

00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:13.440
that's what's happening. So some of these schools

00:41:13.440 --> 00:41:16.880
that you can see pop up every now and then. So

00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:19.780
they have bigger, more money. The bigger schools.

00:41:19.860 --> 00:41:23.059
The bigger schools have bigger boosters. Donors,

00:41:23.219 --> 00:41:24.460
alumni. So they've got more money to spend, just

00:41:24.460 --> 00:41:26.980
like in Major League Baseball. The freaking,

00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:32.199
you know. Dodgers. The big city programs have

00:41:32.199 --> 00:41:33.900
more money to spend, and they can go way over

00:41:33.900 --> 00:41:36.460
the cap. Yep, yep. That's bullshit, man. So that's

00:41:36.460 --> 00:41:40.079
kind of the theory, because all the top teams

00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:42.960
were winning, and the Cinderella's weren't there

00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:45.599
this year. Yeah, the lowest rank in the Sweet

00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:49.079
16 was Arkansas at 10. And they should have won

00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:51.159
that game. They should have beat Texas Tech.

00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:55.099
They fell apart in the last three minutes. Crazy.

00:41:55.340 --> 00:41:58.380
I didn't really care. Yeah, my sons, they both

00:41:58.380 --> 00:42:00.139
went to Arkansas. So they were giving me shit

00:42:00.139 --> 00:42:04.420
about A &M losing. Oh, yeah. And so as soon as

00:42:04.420 --> 00:42:06.760
they said it in the same breath of like, yeah,

00:42:06.820 --> 00:42:10.059
we're playing Tech and A &M lost. And I would

00:42:10.059 --> 00:42:13.920
go, I said, go Tech. And they were like, don't

00:42:13.920 --> 00:42:16.119
be like that. I was like, dude, then don't dog

00:42:16.119 --> 00:42:18.699
on A &M, man. So who's in the final four? It

00:42:18.699 --> 00:42:24.920
is Florida. Duke, Auburn, and Houston. I know

00:42:24.920 --> 00:42:27.659
nothing about those teams. And I did pick Auburn

00:42:27.659 --> 00:42:30.119
to win the whole thing. Go figure. I might have,

00:42:30.260 --> 00:42:33.320
for the first time ever, been this far as a possible

00:42:33.320 --> 00:42:36.800
winning team. This is the first time I don't

00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:39.380
think I've paid any attention to this. War damn

00:42:39.380 --> 00:42:45.019
eagle. What's that? War damn eagle. It's funny

00:42:45.019 --> 00:42:47.940
because, coincidentally, I had an opportunity

00:42:47.940 --> 00:42:50.989
to... grab some tickets to the Mavericks today.

00:42:51.469 --> 00:42:54.449
And, you know, I was, or not, it was for tomorrow

00:42:54.449 --> 00:42:57.869
night, you know, or, and I was, I had, I really

00:42:57.869 --> 00:43:00.829
didn't have any, any inclination that I'd go.

00:43:00.929 --> 00:43:03.369
And I called Paul and I was like, do you want

00:43:03.369 --> 00:43:05.710
these or do you have any desire to go? And he

00:43:05.710 --> 00:43:07.710
was kind of like, fuck, no, I'm not interested.

00:43:07.710 --> 00:43:10.210
Did you go see Luca? Absolutely. We should have.

00:43:10.889 --> 00:43:14.820
Was LA coming to town? Oh. Oh. Oh, he went to

00:43:14.820 --> 00:43:19.320
the Lakers. Oh, now it's awkward. Yeah, I'm sorry.

00:43:19.480 --> 00:43:22.300
I don't have any desire to see them right now.

00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:26.420
None. So it's just like, you know. Even the Lakers

00:43:26.420 --> 00:43:28.440
I wouldn't want to see. I could care less about

00:43:28.440 --> 00:43:31.440
the NBA right now. Yes. I'm done with the NBA

00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:34.880
for a while. I mean, I really am. I'm just waiting

00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:37.139
for Kaitlin Clark to come back. That's all I'm

00:43:37.139 --> 00:43:39.780
waiting for. That's it. Nothing else. Where'd

00:43:39.780 --> 00:43:42.980
she go? The fever, the WNBA, they haven't started

00:43:42.980 --> 00:43:45.840
up yet. Oh, I thought she got sick or something.

00:43:45.940 --> 00:43:48.619
You're gay. I know. You get all bent out of shape

00:43:48.619 --> 00:43:51.400
about my excitement about watching her play basketball.

00:43:51.500 --> 00:43:54.599
I think she's great. So NCAA women's basketball,

00:43:54.960 --> 00:43:59.519
has the viewership dropped? I don't know. That's

00:43:59.519 --> 00:44:02.019
a good question. Since Caitlin Clark. Did you

00:44:02.019 --> 00:44:04.059
watch any of it? I did, but I didn't watch men

00:44:04.059 --> 00:44:06.960
either. So, I mean, I haven't watched any college

00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:08.840
basketball. Well, you watched the women's quite

00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:11.800
a bit last year. Only because of Caitlin Clark.

00:44:11.840 --> 00:44:14.940
That's what I mean. So I was curious what their

00:44:14.940 --> 00:44:17.340
viewership was like this year. Did it dip back

00:44:17.340 --> 00:44:21.199
down? I don't know. I would assume they kind

00:44:21.199 --> 00:44:24.079
of did, but I don't know. We'll see. And then

00:44:24.079 --> 00:44:27.119
now there's some players in the WNBA talking

00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:28.679
about a boycott because they don't think they're

00:44:28.679 --> 00:44:33.380
making enough money. I was like, if they, because

00:44:33.380 --> 00:44:36.179
they have a collective bargaining agreement that

00:44:36.179 --> 00:44:38.159
they have to. They don't bring in the money.

00:44:38.280 --> 00:44:40.969
I know, they don't. their agreement has expired

00:44:40.969 --> 00:44:42.650
and they need a new one, right? So the players

00:44:42.650 --> 00:44:44.590
are talking about, like, boycotting because they

00:44:44.590 --> 00:44:47.610
want more money. It literally would be the, what

00:44:47.610 --> 00:44:49.610
do you call it? The death quell? The death? Nell.

00:44:49.949 --> 00:44:52.690
Nell. Death Nell. I don't know. I never use that

00:44:52.690 --> 00:44:53.989
in a sentence. This might be the first time in

00:44:53.989 --> 00:44:56.309
my life. That would be the death Nell of the

00:44:56.309 --> 00:45:00.369
WNBA. I can promise you. Yep. Well, the NBA funds

00:45:00.369 --> 00:45:03.610
it. What is that word, Nell? What does that mean?

00:45:03.789 --> 00:45:07.570
N -E -L -L -K -E -N -L? E -N -L -L -L? Death

00:45:07.570 --> 00:45:11.519
Nell. What does that word even mean? Do you guys

00:45:11.519 --> 00:45:14.300
know what death knell means? All right, it's

00:45:14.300 --> 00:45:17.380
K -N -E -L -L. A bell rung to announce a death?

00:45:17.539 --> 00:45:20.340
The tolling of a bell to mark someone's death.

00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:22.880
No shit. So basically, if they did that, you'd

00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:25.360
hear a bong. Did you know that? Bring out your

00:45:25.360 --> 00:45:29.179
dead. I did not know that. That's very interesting.

00:45:29.320 --> 00:45:31.840
When somebody says death knell, it's a bell meaning

00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:35.599
they died. Is that Star Wars? That is Star Wars.

00:45:36.179 --> 00:45:39.269
That's Darth Vader. Hold on, but they've got

00:45:39.269 --> 00:45:41.329
another one. Oh, my God. Are you confusing yourself?

00:45:41.630 --> 00:45:43.170
Yeah, because there is another one like that.

00:45:43.210 --> 00:45:48.190
No, it's similar to the Darth Vader march. It's

00:45:48.190 --> 00:46:00.230
the Imperial March. You know what? I don't care

00:46:00.230 --> 00:46:07.480
anymore. It's like, boom, boom, whatever. You're

00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:20.739
doing it again. There you go. You don't recall

00:46:20.739 --> 00:46:22.460
seeing that? It's like when the Reaper comes

00:46:22.460 --> 00:46:25.420
in. Isn't that the wedding march? It's like when

00:46:25.420 --> 00:46:27.960
the Reaper comes in on any classic Warner Brothers

00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:30.760
cartoon. He's like Hanna -Barbera, right? No,

00:46:30.760 --> 00:46:34.539
well, Warner Brothers. No, no, no. Let's just

00:46:34.539 --> 00:46:37.980
stay focused. He's talking about death knell

00:46:37.980 --> 00:46:41.519
and an ominous song. Yeah, I know what song you

00:46:41.519 --> 00:46:42.699
mean. I have no idea what the name of it is,

00:46:42.739 --> 00:46:44.300
though. Okay, well, let's quickly move on then

00:46:44.300 --> 00:46:49.840
before it turns into that. God. Anyway, do we

00:46:49.840 --> 00:46:51.719
have a drink to talk about, or is it too early?

00:46:51.880 --> 00:46:54.780
I don't know. Yeah, let's talk about it. All

00:46:54.780 --> 00:46:57.039
right, well. We have probably about 15 minutes

00:46:57.039 --> 00:47:01.760
left, so let's talk about it. All right. Well,

00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:04.139
who wants to do the honors? All right. You know

00:47:04.139 --> 00:47:06.099
what? You're the one that gallivanted all over

00:47:06.099 --> 00:47:08.019
Kentucky. Why don't you tell us the story behind

00:47:08.019 --> 00:47:10.239
how you found this? I drove 1 ,000 miles for

00:47:10.239 --> 00:47:12.260
this. Just for this? Yes, just for that. And

00:47:12.260 --> 00:47:15.280
how did you pick it, and what is it? It is a

00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:18.360
bourbon. My wife and I stopped at Heaven Hill

00:47:18.360 --> 00:47:22.920
Distillery, and we did the tour. They don't have

00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:24.679
a distillery on site there right now. They do

00:47:24.679 --> 00:47:26.519
not. Just the Rick Houses. They are building

00:47:26.519 --> 00:47:29.030
one. Yes, a very expensive one. $200 million.

00:47:29.510 --> 00:47:33.650
Oh, shit. That's a lot. $200 million. Jeez. And

00:47:33.650 --> 00:47:35.969
it comes during a time when the market is softening.

00:47:36.030 --> 00:47:41.269
Yeah, I know. 100 ,000 square feet. So you tour

00:47:41.269 --> 00:47:43.510
the different rickhouses, and it's very, very

00:47:43.510 --> 00:47:47.030
interesting. And you get to sample a bunch of

00:47:47.030 --> 00:47:49.429
their stuff as you go. JTS Brown is one of them.

00:47:49.530 --> 00:47:54.329
Yeah, I know. So in the gift shop, you have all

00:47:54.329 --> 00:47:55.909
their stuff, and you're hoping that they'd have

00:47:55.909 --> 00:47:58.789
some. some drops there that you could get. Yeah,

00:47:58.809 --> 00:48:01.309
some uniques. Right. But when I was up there,

00:48:01.369 --> 00:48:02.869
they had all the standard shit. I wasn't going

00:48:02.869 --> 00:48:05.949
to get that. But I'd get distillery only or Kentucky

00:48:05.949 --> 00:48:07.610
only because we can't get it down here, right?

00:48:07.789 --> 00:48:11.650
Right. So this Five Brothers is Kentucky only.

00:48:12.389 --> 00:48:15.170
We can't get it down here. Okay. So that's why

00:48:15.170 --> 00:48:17.369
I picked it up. It's not real expensive, 50 bucks

00:48:17.369 --> 00:48:22.110
maybe, 90 proof. Super easy to drink. Oh, yeah.

00:48:22.289 --> 00:48:25.130
Super easy. Almost too easy. Yeah, I could, like,

00:48:25.130 --> 00:48:27.010
stick a freaking straw in there. I mean, start

00:48:27.010 --> 00:48:29.289
to finish, it's sweet, sweet, sweet. Yeah, it's

00:48:29.289 --> 00:48:31.849
very sweet. I wrote a note down that on the nose

00:48:31.849 --> 00:48:34.750
there's lots of vanillas and just sweetness on

00:48:34.750 --> 00:48:37.050
the nose. I wonder what the mash bill is. It's

00:48:37.050 --> 00:48:40.550
got to be a ton of corn. 78 % corn, 12 % rye,

00:48:40.630 --> 00:48:43.429
10 % malted barley. There you go. There you have

00:48:43.429 --> 00:48:45.889
it. And, you know, the site of the Rick Houses

00:48:45.889 --> 00:48:49.070
is where they had that meltdown. The fire, yes.

00:48:49.110 --> 00:48:52.949
Yeah, the distillery. caught fire that the distillery

00:48:52.949 --> 00:48:55.530
was on site farther down that road and it caught

00:48:55.530 --> 00:48:57.769
fire and all the rick houses went up correct

00:48:57.769 --> 00:49:00.389
and it was a river of fire yeah she didn't talk

00:49:00.389 --> 00:49:03.429
she talked about the the fire a little bit uh

00:49:03.429 --> 00:49:05.650
she showed us some where there were still some

00:49:05.650 --> 00:49:07.590
scorch marks on some of the buildings you could

00:49:07.590 --> 00:49:12.929
see uh but then that was 1994 96 when was that

00:49:12.929 --> 00:49:15.190
fire it was late 90s i think yeah something like

00:49:15.190 --> 00:49:20.530
that and um What's interesting, the name Heaven

00:49:20.530 --> 00:49:24.090
Hill comes from the land that these five brothers

00:49:24.090 --> 00:49:25.869
bought. Is that the picture of the five brothers

00:49:25.869 --> 00:49:27.590
you were just showing there? I'm sure it was.

00:49:27.610 --> 00:49:29.789
I'm sure it was. Interesting. So these five brothers,

00:49:30.010 --> 00:49:32.650
I can't remember their names. I'm sure Chuck

00:49:32.650 --> 00:49:36.130
will find it. Is it Jim Beam? Did I see? The

00:49:36.130 --> 00:49:39.849
Shapira brothers. They bought it from a gentleman,

00:49:39.929 --> 00:49:45.039
all this land called Heaven Hill. Yep. In 1934.

00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:47.800
Approached Moe's, George, Gary David, and Ed

00:49:47.800 --> 00:49:50.059
Shapiro. Yeah, so they bought it from a gentleman.

00:49:50.099 --> 00:49:53.960
His last name was Heaven Hill. And when they

00:49:53.960 --> 00:49:56.139
went to, they were looking for a name and everything

00:49:56.139 --> 00:49:58.260
for this, and they're like, well, let's show

00:49:58.260 --> 00:50:00.480
honor to the person who owned this for years

00:50:00.480 --> 00:50:02.440
and years and years. Very nice. So they submitted

00:50:02.440 --> 00:50:05.420
it to the patent office, and they had it one

00:50:05.420 --> 00:50:11.340
word, Heaven Hill Distilleries. The clerk who

00:50:11.340 --> 00:50:13.900
got it thought they made a mistake. And she added

00:50:13.900 --> 00:50:16.880
the space in there. Oh, wow. So that's how it's

00:50:16.880 --> 00:50:20.320
Heaven Space Hill. Heaven Hill Distillery. Interesting.

00:50:20.440 --> 00:50:23.659
And they didn't want to spend the $35 to fix

00:50:23.659 --> 00:50:26.119
it. And so they left it that way. So they left

00:50:26.119 --> 00:50:28.000
it that way. That's great. Yes. Hey, scroll down.

00:50:28.039 --> 00:50:30.199
I see a reference to Jim Beam. What's the reference

00:50:30.199 --> 00:50:33.460
there? Keep going down. When it was burnt down,

00:50:33.860 --> 00:50:36.940
well, I don't know. Right there. From the beginning,

00:50:37.039 --> 00:50:40.099
members of the making family oversaw the distillation

00:50:40.099 --> 00:50:43.630
process. Of course. Yes. In 1935, it was Joe

00:50:43.630 --> 00:50:45.690
and Harry Beam who brought their know -how and

00:50:45.690 --> 00:50:47.789
set the standard for quality. Dude, everything

00:50:47.789 --> 00:50:50.750
in Kentucky is somehow linked to the Beam family.

00:50:50.889 --> 00:50:54.369
It's insane. It's just like anything else. You

00:50:54.369 --> 00:50:57.389
get a car, you're building a motor. It's just

00:50:57.389 --> 00:51:00.210
simple. It's just like arithmetic. It's like

00:51:00.210 --> 00:51:02.949
a recipe. It's just standard building blocks.

00:51:03.289 --> 00:51:06.050
But they had to do it. But when their distillery

00:51:06.050 --> 00:51:09.460
went down, they used the Jim Beam plant. To make

00:51:09.460 --> 00:51:12.420
their stuff. Oh, nice. And then they ended up

00:51:12.420 --> 00:51:15.860
buying the Bernheim distillery plant. And they

00:51:15.860 --> 00:51:19.039
bought that later on and started making their

00:51:19.039 --> 00:51:23.380
stuff there. And then finally, the oldest, I

00:51:23.380 --> 00:51:25.900
don't know if it's still one of the brothers.

00:51:26.519 --> 00:51:30.480
Anyway, the oldest CEO, the CEO is starting to

00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:33.300
turn over the reins to the next generation. And

00:51:33.300 --> 00:51:37.099
she said that he was very frugal. That's why

00:51:37.099 --> 00:51:39.519
he didn't build a distillery. But the new crop

00:51:39.519 --> 00:51:43.280
of kids coming up are like, no, we need to spend

00:51:43.280 --> 00:51:47.019
money and expand. So they call that niggardly?

00:51:47.820 --> 00:51:51.199
Yes, he was. Yes, he was very frugal. You know,

00:51:51.300 --> 00:51:56.099
it's crazy. In other words, he'd cheapskate.

00:51:56.179 --> 00:51:59.179
Yes, he was. She said that he was very frugal.

00:52:00.320 --> 00:52:01.840
Kept doing what he was doing, right? Isn't that

00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:03.940
crazy how you can't say that word or guerrilla

00:52:03.940 --> 00:52:06.159
warfare or anything like that just because it's

00:52:06.159 --> 00:52:09.340
part of it? Because it's misunderstood very easily.

00:52:09.340 --> 00:52:11.639
I mean, both of you just cringed when I said

00:52:11.639 --> 00:52:14.079
that, even though the word was germane to the

00:52:14.079 --> 00:52:17.519
conversation. It's true. 100%. I can't. But why

00:52:17.519 --> 00:52:20.539
did you say it? For the shock and awe to watch

00:52:20.539 --> 00:52:23.179
YouTube. Of course, exactly. Yeah, but it was

00:52:23.179 --> 00:52:26.059
a true word and it fit. No, it is. You used it

00:52:26.059 --> 00:52:28.039
correctly. You did. I'll give credit for that.

00:52:28.219 --> 00:52:32.360
All right, so here's in November 7th, 1996 is

00:52:32.360 --> 00:52:34.900
when this interesting employee reported smoke.

00:52:35.460 --> 00:52:38.019
Downs and Parker Beam hopped inside Beam's truck.

00:52:38.239 --> 00:52:43.039
So, dude, even Beam employees were working in

00:52:43.039 --> 00:52:46.739
1996. It's so... incestuous is not the right

00:52:46.739 --> 00:52:50.719
word. Oh, incestuous? Yeah. I can't say that,

00:52:50.800 --> 00:52:54.059
but you can say incestuous? The Beam family is

00:52:54.059 --> 00:52:57.179
just so ingrained in everything up there, which

00:52:57.179 --> 00:52:58.900
is not a bad thing. It's just really interesting.

00:52:59.480 --> 00:53:01.280
But anyway, well, then there we go. All right,

00:53:01.300 --> 00:53:04.460
so what do we think? Five brothers. We know it's

00:53:04.460 --> 00:53:06.599
sweet. It's 90 proof, so we know what we're up

00:53:06.599 --> 00:53:08.900
against in terms of what we're comparing it to.

00:53:10.559 --> 00:53:13.909
It doesn't have a lot of... wow factor the the

00:53:13.909 --> 00:53:17.389
the finish is pretty short for me yeah yeah it

00:53:17.389 --> 00:53:20.630
has a really good sweetness super easy to drink

00:53:20.630 --> 00:53:22.389
it's almost like sweet tea almost this would

00:53:22.389 --> 00:53:24.349
be perfect super easy to drink yeah this would

00:53:24.349 --> 00:53:26.449
be perfect for somebody who never drinks something

00:53:26.449 --> 00:53:28.210
straight right you know what i mean and you're

00:53:28.210 --> 00:53:30.030
like no no no drink it straight oh dude i can't

00:53:30.030 --> 00:53:32.510
so it does no no no try this it has a nice golden

00:53:32.510 --> 00:53:35.349
amber look you know it's it has it does it's

00:53:35.349 --> 00:53:39.699
very sweet uh the aromas match it um yeah It's

00:53:39.699 --> 00:53:42.119
the most polite bourbon I've ever tried. Yeah.

00:53:42.519 --> 00:53:44.780
I mean, if you're really going to dive into it,

00:53:44.840 --> 00:53:49.139
it has a light char. It may have a little butterscotch.

00:53:50.360 --> 00:53:53.739
Yeah. May. What makes it only available there?

00:53:53.860 --> 00:53:57.460
Why is it so special? They didn't say. They didn't

00:53:57.460 --> 00:54:01.380
say. No. They just said this. The tour lady said

00:54:01.380 --> 00:54:04.739
this is Kentucky only, but also the ladies in

00:54:04.739 --> 00:54:08.530
the gift shop. So this is Kentucky. I actually

00:54:08.530 --> 00:54:10.889
had to make a sign on it as well. A little subtle

00:54:10.889 --> 00:54:13.630
rye on there. It's not bad. It's not bad at all.

00:54:13.849 --> 00:54:17.670
It's very, very refreshing. Yeah. And normally

00:54:17.670 --> 00:54:19.170
we'll be like, oh my God, there's nothing to

00:54:19.170 --> 00:54:22.010
this. This sucks. Brown sugar. But it doesn't

00:54:22.010 --> 00:54:24.130
suck. It doesn't. It really doesn't. It just,

00:54:24.230 --> 00:54:26.210
like you said, there's not the wow factor there,

00:54:26.269 --> 00:54:28.960
but. And you have to actually put it in your

00:54:28.960 --> 00:54:31.840
mouth and taste it. But like you said, it ends

00:54:31.840 --> 00:54:34.760
really quick. It's a fantastic ride, but then

00:54:34.760 --> 00:54:37.039
it's like those amusement park rides. It's like,

00:54:37.099 --> 00:54:38.900
God bless, that fucking was over in two minutes.

00:54:39.179 --> 00:54:42.579
I wanted that rush to keep going. It says a quick

00:54:42.579 --> 00:54:45.000
drop off in intensity leaves a lingering sweet

00:54:45.000 --> 00:54:47.739
note that's pleasant and appealing. Yeah, it's

00:54:47.739 --> 00:54:51.039
got a little botanical floral tapering at the

00:54:51.039 --> 00:54:53.480
very end. It kind of leaves you happy. Yeah,

00:54:53.480 --> 00:54:55.760
maybe. Maybe. Yeah. A little Southern Belle.

00:54:55.860 --> 00:54:59.980
I think this would be a great starter over the

00:54:59.980 --> 00:55:02.539
80 proofer. Yeah. If you want to jump up to the

00:55:02.539 --> 00:55:05.900
90. Something decent. This would be, I would

00:55:05.900 --> 00:55:08.460
recommend this 100%. If they can find it, of

00:55:08.460 --> 00:55:10.639
course. Well, yeah, if you can get it. Well,

00:55:10.699 --> 00:55:13.699
how does it rank on the rarity? You know what?

00:55:13.760 --> 00:55:16.219
I don't know. Let's scan it. I have not had it.

00:55:16.320 --> 00:55:18.420
Oh, this is going to be an exciting moment. Super

00:55:18.420 --> 00:55:21.079
exciting. This is real -time, real -time information.

00:55:21.320 --> 00:55:23.400
And while we're doing that, let's come up with

00:55:23.400 --> 00:55:26.360
a rating here. Mr. Producer, are we ready for

00:55:26.360 --> 00:55:29.460
a rate? Imagine it's common. What are your guesses?

00:55:29.739 --> 00:55:33.179
It should be. It's readily available at the distillery.

00:55:33.500 --> 00:55:35.900
I would not say it's common if it's readily available.

00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:41.219
Well, only there, yeah. So it's not readily available.

00:55:41.559 --> 00:55:43.599
It's going to be, I'm going to say restricted.

00:55:43.679 --> 00:55:47.239
Is that an option? Restricted? No. What are the

00:55:47.239 --> 00:55:51.619
options? It's a unicorn. It's rare. It's... I'd

00:55:51.619 --> 00:55:54.239
say rare. It's common, uncommon, rare, unicorn,

00:55:54.239 --> 00:55:57.019
and impossible. We'll have to say uncommon. And

00:55:57.019 --> 00:56:00.739
a bitch please. That's one of them. That's one

00:56:00.739 --> 00:56:04.619
of them. This is one of our bitch pleases. All

00:56:04.619 --> 00:56:08.380
right. So I say uncommon because literally it

00:56:08.380 --> 00:56:10.940
is hard to find. Hard to get. Not hard to find.

00:56:10.980 --> 00:56:12.920
You know exactly where it is. It's just hard

00:56:12.920 --> 00:56:16.849
to get. It is uncommon. Score. Very good. Yeah.

00:56:16.889 --> 00:56:19.489
Well, I would say it's uncommon. I would say

00:56:19.489 --> 00:56:24.030
it's rare. I mean, because if it's not found

00:56:24.030 --> 00:56:27.170
in stores and it's only found at the distillery.

00:56:27.269 --> 00:56:29.210
Well, you know where it is. It's not rare. You

00:56:29.210 --> 00:56:31.309
just drive to the distillery and buy it. Oh.

00:56:31.769 --> 00:56:33.630
I guess that's an option. But not a lot of people

00:56:33.630 --> 00:56:37.150
do it. Anyway, I like it. Let's rate it. Let's

00:56:37.150 --> 00:56:42.619
go. In a 90 proof, 90 proofs. I will give this

00:56:42.619 --> 00:56:49.519
a 6 .6. Wow. Is that low? No, I mean, hey, man.

00:56:49.780 --> 00:56:51.460
It's not low. It's yours. Because you're looking

00:56:51.460 --> 00:56:55.039
at some good ones. We had one last week we really

00:56:55.039 --> 00:56:57.539
liked, and then we also have the Mictors, which

00:56:57.539 --> 00:57:00.659
is what, 94, 95? Mictors is always the benchmark

00:57:00.659 --> 00:57:02.659
for me in the 90s. Yeah, the Mictors 10. And

00:57:02.659 --> 00:57:05.079
Mictors, it's the standard Mictors, I think,

00:57:05.079 --> 00:57:06.480
is right at 90. This one's very soft. Like you

00:57:06.480 --> 00:57:08.880
said, it's entry level. It's a great starter

00:57:08.880 --> 00:57:14.469
of the night. to get the old spices moving, getting

00:57:14.469 --> 00:57:19.670
the libido kind of warped into shape. I'm going

00:57:19.670 --> 00:57:25.010
to hit it with a 69. Ooh. Wow. I think I'm about

00:57:25.010 --> 00:57:27.349
as... Because his libido's been ignited. Oh,

00:57:27.369 --> 00:57:29.730
that's right. I think it's... I'm going to give

00:57:29.730 --> 00:57:33.329
this a 6 .7. All right. Well, there we go. Throw

00:57:33.329 --> 00:57:36.010
out the high, throw out the low. And there you

00:57:36.010 --> 00:57:38.659
have the facts of life. All right. Facts of life.

00:57:38.820 --> 00:57:41.340
Oh, boy. I don't know how he broke into song.

00:57:41.440 --> 00:57:44.199
I thought we were going to do a little 80s sitcoms.

00:57:44.360 --> 00:57:48.719
Oh, I did not do any research on that. 80s sitcoms.

00:57:48.719 --> 00:57:50.380
Do we have time? How much time do we have left?

00:57:50.440 --> 00:57:52.900
Not right now. We got 10 minutes? Not right now.

00:57:52.920 --> 00:57:54.380
All right. Well, let's talk about some other

00:57:54.380 --> 00:57:56.840
things we missed in the last couple weeks. Well,

00:57:56.860 --> 00:57:58.559
I mean, I'll tell you what. Dudes like us out

00:57:58.559 --> 00:58:00.599
there, getting your car fucking totaled sucks.

00:58:00.820 --> 00:58:03.119
Can we talk about that? Oh, yeah. I've had that

00:58:03.119 --> 00:58:06.320
happen before. You just actually. We're all going

00:58:06.320 --> 00:58:08.280
through shit right now. I went through it. You

00:58:08.280 --> 00:58:11.219
kind of escaped it. Sean's dealing with it now

00:58:11.219 --> 00:58:14.699
with his car. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it sucks, man,

00:58:14.800 --> 00:58:16.280
especially when you're minding your own business.

00:58:16.539 --> 00:58:19.440
Yeah. Completely, totally not your fault at all.

00:58:19.760 --> 00:58:21.840
100%. And all of a sudden, boom. I was like,

00:58:21.900 --> 00:58:24.059
God bless it. And, you know, look, at the end

00:58:24.059 --> 00:58:25.219
of the day, when something like that happens

00:58:25.219 --> 00:58:28.079
to anybody and you walk away from it. Count your

00:58:28.079 --> 00:58:30.599
blessings. I'm thankful. The airbags deploy.

00:58:30.940 --> 00:58:34.199
Negative. No, I was hit from the side, not the

00:58:34.199 --> 00:58:37.119
front. So it did not, and I don't have any side

00:58:37.119 --> 00:58:39.460
airbags. Actually, I don't even know. But it

00:58:39.460 --> 00:58:42.039
hit the, it mostly hit the wheel well. You know,

00:58:42.059 --> 00:58:44.460
it took out the whole fucking, it just knocked

00:58:44.460 --> 00:58:47.260
the axle. She really did a great job smacking

00:58:47.260 --> 00:58:50.059
that area. Did she just run a light? Right through

00:58:50.059 --> 00:58:53.579
the God bless and thing. Some Asian children

00:58:53.579 --> 00:58:56.099
that, you know, they're students, college students

00:58:56.099 --> 00:58:59.199
it looked like. They were in a Lexus and they

00:58:59.199 --> 00:59:01.460
didn't stop. They just went right on through

00:59:01.460 --> 00:59:06.260
heading west. And we, being the truck to my left

00:59:06.260 --> 00:59:09.579
and myself, I took a right heading west and the

00:59:09.579 --> 00:59:12.119
other truck went south. And going straight, she

00:59:12.119 --> 00:59:14.340
hit the shit out of that truck. Because that

00:59:14.340 --> 00:59:15.960
was kind of like when I heard the noise, I was

00:59:15.960 --> 00:59:19.510
like, oh, shit. And then the truck hit you. No,

00:59:19.690 --> 00:59:22.889
the Lexus did. She literally went through the,

00:59:23.070 --> 00:59:26.369
knocked the truck out of the way. And then hit

00:59:26.369 --> 00:59:29.329
you. And then hit me. And I'm amazed that her

00:59:29.329 --> 00:59:32.869
car was only damaged the way it was. That's a

00:59:32.869 --> 00:59:35.250
testament to Lexus, I guess. And they walked

00:59:35.250 --> 00:59:38.309
away fine? Everyone walked away fine. Everyone

00:59:38.309 --> 00:59:39.969
walked away fine. She had to be going pretty

00:59:39.969 --> 00:59:42.980
fast, too. I was kind of. And I don't know if

00:59:42.980 --> 00:59:44.940
I was in shock or what the deal was. I didn't

00:59:44.940 --> 00:59:46.599
even want to get out of the car. I just sat there.

00:59:46.860 --> 00:59:50.119
The first thing I did was call the non -emergency

00:59:50.119 --> 00:59:53.139
number. And I said, hey, there's a car wreck,

00:59:53.300 --> 00:59:54.840
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Actually,

00:59:54.900 --> 00:59:56.579
I don't remember. You're like, I'm in it. Actually,

00:59:56.639 --> 00:59:58.659
I think I did call 911. I was going to say, what

00:59:58.659 --> 01:00:01.860
is the non -emergency? 411? No, eight is the

01:00:01.860 --> 01:00:06.320
digging. Dig test. Hey, Lord, yeah, I just got

01:00:06.320 --> 01:00:12.019
a wreck. Need some holes dug? No, they had everyone

01:00:12.019 --> 01:00:14.199
come out there. It was pretty, you know, shout

01:00:14.199 --> 01:00:16.860
out to the Frisco Police Department and the Fire

01:00:16.860 --> 01:00:18.820
Department. They went out there, and they did

01:00:18.820 --> 01:00:22.340
a quick job. And, look, again, you know, I'm

01:00:22.340 --> 01:00:25.599
thankful. But I didn't get out of the car. Did

01:00:25.599 --> 01:00:28.750
they do a sobriety test on anybody? No. I don't

01:00:28.750 --> 01:00:30.889
know. I stuck to myself. I didn't go over to

01:00:30.889 --> 01:00:33.110
the other cars. Wasn't it morning? It was about

01:00:33.110 --> 01:00:36.090
10 .30 -ish. You probably don't do that unless

01:00:36.090 --> 01:00:39.869
you're slurring. Well, true, but people drink.

01:00:40.190 --> 01:00:42.489
Alcoholics drink all the time. They do. I'm not

01:00:42.489 --> 01:00:44.369
saying they don't. They were students. They had

01:00:44.369 --> 01:00:47.230
student books in their car. Who knows? I don't

01:00:47.230 --> 01:00:50.030
even care, man. The thing is that I was fine.

01:00:50.150 --> 01:00:53.090
I pulled up on the grass. I called my neighbor.

01:00:53.429 --> 01:00:56.570
He was available. And he swung by, and he had

01:00:56.570 --> 01:00:59.530
his truck, and I just took everything out of

01:00:59.530 --> 01:01:02.269
the car that I felt. I had five to ten minutes

01:01:02.269 --> 01:01:05.570
before he got there, and I just took everything

01:01:05.570 --> 01:01:09.050
out, went through everything, every nook and

01:01:09.050 --> 01:01:11.449
cranny. I'm remembering now. You did call me.

01:01:11.710 --> 01:01:14.809
I did. Shelly and I were on the bike coming back

01:01:14.809 --> 01:01:17.989
from Oklahoma, and I pulled over onto the shoulder,

01:01:18.070 --> 01:01:19.289
and Shelly was like, what are you doing? And

01:01:19.289 --> 01:01:22.389
I said, I got a 911 from Sean. So I turned off

01:01:22.389 --> 01:01:24.860
the bike. called you and you're like i've gone

01:01:24.860 --> 01:01:27.340
to a wreck and i was like oh shit anyway you

01:01:27.340 --> 01:01:29.239
said everything's fine everything's fine i just

01:01:29.239 --> 01:01:31.219
wondering if you're nearby so we can you know

01:01:31.219 --> 01:01:33.960
i was like shit man i'm in oklahoma yeah well

01:01:33.960 --> 01:01:36.300
you know it happens and you know there's there's

01:01:36.300 --> 01:01:39.239
things that you know there's you got to reach

01:01:39.239 --> 01:01:41.179
out to the people around you and you know thankfully

01:01:41.179 --> 01:01:44.900
uh you know my neighbor was around and it worked

01:01:44.900 --> 01:01:47.860
out But at the end of the day, fuck it. He drove

01:01:47.860 --> 01:01:51.699
me all the way to the DFW airport to get a rental.

01:01:51.800 --> 01:01:55.199
Oh, wow. Because the company I usually hurt,

01:01:55.440 --> 01:01:58.019
they were stacked. They didn't have any vehicles.

01:01:58.139 --> 01:02:01.599
So they always have them at the airport. Well,

01:02:01.679 --> 01:02:03.179
you should definitely call him next time because

01:02:03.179 --> 01:02:06.659
I wouldn't have done that. I would have said,

01:02:06.679 --> 01:02:09.329
bitch, behind your motorcycle. Let's go, Paul.

01:02:09.469 --> 01:02:11.730
You're carrying all your shit. Go faster. Go

01:02:11.730 --> 01:02:13.849
faster. Just like you did with Brian, you know?

01:02:14.010 --> 01:02:17.150
Can I hold on to you, Paul? Did you see the accident

01:02:17.150 --> 01:02:20.070
that happened in front of the star? I heard that

01:02:20.070 --> 01:02:23.210
guy had a heart attack. Oh, he hit seven cars.

01:02:23.469 --> 01:02:26.170
He ripped the front end off of a Cybertruck.

01:02:26.869 --> 01:02:31.090
What? He hit it so hard, the front end was ripped

01:02:31.090 --> 01:02:32.989
off. It was a medical emergency is what I heard.

01:02:33.590 --> 01:02:37.670
That's a Cybertruck up front. Oh, my God. Ripped

01:02:37.670 --> 01:02:39.750
it in half or the back end or whatever that is.

01:02:39.750 --> 01:02:42.969
So he just went down the line. Boom. And hit

01:02:42.969 --> 01:02:47.489
seven cars. He had a heart attack. I don't even

01:02:47.489 --> 01:02:49.150
know if he lived. Yeah, he ended up on his side.

01:02:49.289 --> 01:02:52.210
He was driving, well, he was driving, from what

01:02:52.210 --> 01:02:53.989
I understand, a big G -Wagon, which weighed a

01:02:53.989 --> 01:02:57.389
tremendous amount of weight also. Oh, my gosh.

01:02:58.110 --> 01:03:00.989
And, yeah, all were unoccupied cars. That helps.

01:03:01.639 --> 01:03:05.219
and no one's injured other than non -life -threatening

01:03:05.219 --> 01:03:07.079
injuries. Yeah, what a nightmare. When I heard

01:03:07.079 --> 01:03:09.739
that, I was thinking, I was 100 % thinking drunk

01:03:09.739 --> 01:03:12.219
driver, you know, all that kind of stuff. And

01:03:12.219 --> 01:03:14.360
then I heard medical emergency. How often does

01:03:14.360 --> 01:03:17.079
that happen, you think? I don't know. But every

01:03:17.079 --> 01:03:18.780
time I think it, I'm thinking there's some little

01:03:18.780 --> 01:03:23.380
ooh -la -la terrorist freaking just doing stupid

01:03:23.380 --> 01:03:26.880
shit. Yeah, you think the absolute worst. It's

01:03:26.880 --> 01:03:30.349
because it's so relevant. Yeah. Well, what gets

01:03:30.349 --> 01:03:33.730
me, it was the Cybertruck. I wonder if, because

01:03:33.730 --> 01:03:35.389
you would think, you know, this town is, you

01:03:35.389 --> 01:03:37.929
know, safe. Maybe it is. Made out of steel and

01:03:37.929 --> 01:03:40.329
all this. Maybe it falls apart. I wonder if Tesla

01:03:40.329 --> 01:03:42.250
looked at that and goes, I want that so I can

01:03:42.250 --> 01:03:45.489
look at it. Yeah, maybe. You know? You would

01:03:45.489 --> 01:03:47.409
think it's like a tank. You're absolutely right.

01:03:48.010 --> 01:03:51.130
That's crazy. But they're also lucky that, or

01:03:51.130 --> 01:03:54.929
maybe it's built in by design that the, there's

01:03:54.929 --> 01:04:00.110
a G -Wagon. The batteries didn't. Right. Explode.

01:04:00.110 --> 01:04:02.530
I mean, look at that. Ripped it all the way off.

01:04:03.010 --> 01:04:06.690
Yeah. The whole back end of it. Well, you know.

01:04:06.929 --> 01:04:10.949
That's crazy. It's unfortunate. Yeah. We're looking

01:04:10.949 --> 01:04:13.869
at the car. They're pulling the car back over

01:04:13.869 --> 01:04:17.449
on its four wheels. But, you know, I got the

01:04:17.449 --> 01:04:21.250
rental car. I had two inspections left. I missed

01:04:21.250 --> 01:04:23.909
one. I hit the other two. But the whole process

01:04:23.909 --> 01:04:26.130
was kind of lame, which brings up a moment where,

01:04:26.210 --> 01:04:27.670
you know, dudes like us out there might want

01:04:27.670 --> 01:04:33.420
to. Get rental coverage for your car. Yeah. I

01:04:33.420 --> 01:04:36.659
mean, unless you have an extra car or a convenient

01:04:36.659 --> 01:04:40.239
type of arrangement. Otherwise, yeah, get rental.

01:04:40.260 --> 01:04:41.860
I get it because it's worth it in the long run

01:04:41.860 --> 01:04:43.699
because I didn't have it. I thought I did have

01:04:43.699 --> 01:04:45.539
it, honestly, and they must have took it off.

01:04:45.619 --> 01:04:47.139
I think they took it off without me knowing about

01:04:47.139 --> 01:04:50.619
it. I don't know, but I didn't have it. I rented

01:04:50.619 --> 01:04:53.860
a car for a week, and I tell you what, the whole

01:04:53.860 --> 01:04:56.179
process was a pain in the ass. Yeah. That adds

01:04:56.179 --> 01:04:59.969
up. It does. And I'll tell you what really pisses

01:04:59.969 --> 01:05:04.070
me off is that they don't pay for your tolls.

01:05:04.070 --> 01:05:06.829
I don't want them to pay for my tolls, but that's

01:05:06.829 --> 01:05:08.889
not what I was driving at. So when you rent a

01:05:08.889 --> 01:05:11.170
car, you have an option. You pay for your tolls

01:05:11.170 --> 01:05:14.369
up front. You pay $15 a day, and it covers all

01:05:14.369 --> 01:05:18.050
your tolls. Or you don't get that service, and

01:05:18.050 --> 01:05:21.110
they will bill you for every toll you hit. But

01:05:21.110 --> 01:05:24.110
there's a service charge that is more than...

01:05:24.349 --> 01:05:27.550
double the amount of the actual toll. That is

01:05:27.550 --> 01:05:29.570
bullshit. And they didn't tell you that? Well,

01:05:29.590 --> 01:05:33.210
no, I knew that. And I was like, hey, look, pay

01:05:33.210 --> 01:05:38.550
for the $15 and deduct it from my payout. And

01:05:38.550 --> 01:05:43.369
they would not do it. So now when I submit my

01:05:43.369 --> 01:05:48.090
car, they're going to deduct all those tolls

01:05:48.090 --> 01:05:50.829
and it's going to be double. It's going to cost

01:05:50.829 --> 01:05:52.869
more than the actual fucking rental of the car.

01:05:53.839 --> 01:05:56.320
Oh, wow. And so it's just like, what the fuck,

01:05:56.340 --> 01:05:58.539
what's the sense? I'm going to end up owing you

01:05:58.539 --> 01:06:00.440
money for taking this car, and you guys should

01:06:00.440 --> 01:06:02.940
be paying me. It really, it makes me mad, and

01:06:02.940 --> 01:06:05.920
I blame, you can't blame Hertz necessarily, but

01:06:05.920 --> 01:06:09.880
it's the North, it's NTTA. Yeah. You know, they're,

01:06:09.880 --> 01:06:14.900
it's criminal. It is, and you know what? We,

01:06:15.039 --> 01:06:17.199
and Jeff, I know that's not the case for you.

01:06:17.260 --> 01:06:19.139
You've always been kind of conscientious about

01:06:19.139 --> 01:06:21.320
tolls and how they can add up, but I have not

01:06:21.320 --> 01:06:23.469
been. I've been on cruise control. Right. But

01:06:23.469 --> 01:06:26.429
now when you get on Google maps and you, you

01:06:26.429 --> 01:06:28.409
know, you're picking a route to go, you know,

01:06:28.409 --> 01:06:30.769
I'm not going to say avoid tolls. You can, but

01:06:30.769 --> 01:06:33.329
I'm not doing it to avoid tolls. I'm just figuring

01:06:33.329 --> 01:06:35.670
out what route to go. And now it pops up and

01:06:35.670 --> 01:06:38.530
says, this route is going to be, you know, $10.

01:06:38.650 --> 01:06:40.989
And I'm like, but I'm going to take there and

01:06:40.989 --> 01:06:42.670
back. You're telling me it's going to be $20

01:06:42.670 --> 01:06:45.210
to go, go to this place and come back. I'm like,

01:06:45.269 --> 01:06:47.769
what the fuck? So I figured out, I was like,

01:06:47.829 --> 01:06:50.329
Oh my God, Dawson does it almost every day. He

01:06:50.329 --> 01:06:55.139
spends. $200 in tolls a week. Yeah. No, a month.

01:06:55.159 --> 01:06:57.659
Sorry. A month. $50 a week. That's still a lot.

01:06:58.079 --> 01:07:00.739
$50 a week. And I told him, I go, do you realize

01:07:00.739 --> 01:07:03.559
that you're spending $200 a month in tolls? And

01:07:03.559 --> 01:07:06.380
he's like, what? I go, yeah. I go, do you have

01:07:06.380 --> 01:07:07.820
another route to Sherman? No, granted, he's going

01:07:07.820 --> 01:07:09.679
all the way to Sherman. But it's not a toll.

01:07:09.800 --> 01:07:13.460
It's only a toll between here and 75. He can

01:07:13.460 --> 01:07:15.380
go up Virginia. Well, that's what I said. I said,

01:07:15.400 --> 01:07:18.619
you can take Preston up to 56. And go to Sherman

01:07:18.619 --> 01:07:22.619
that way and it's six minutes longer. You can

01:07:22.619 --> 01:07:24.960
always just click on, and I've never done that

01:07:24.960 --> 01:07:27.039
before because I've never cared. But when I got

01:07:27.039 --> 01:07:30.760
this, in the circumstance I am now, I went to

01:07:30.760 --> 01:07:33.159
a little option, avoid tolls. I know. And all

01:07:33.159 --> 01:07:35.260
of a sudden it's like, it's 20 minutes longer.

01:07:35.559 --> 01:07:37.500
And I'm like, fuck it, I don't care. Do you guys

01:07:37.500 --> 01:07:40.280
remember when I drove us to an estate sale and

01:07:40.280 --> 01:07:42.199
we were just talking and talking and talking

01:07:42.199 --> 01:07:44.559
and talking and I was like, just following whatever

01:07:44.559 --> 01:07:47.039
it told me to do. And then we were like. Where

01:07:47.039 --> 01:07:49.440
are we? Why are we on the toll road? What are

01:07:49.440 --> 01:07:51.619
you doing? And I was like, I don't know why it's

01:07:51.619 --> 01:07:54.139
taking me through this. I had tolls turned off.

01:07:54.900 --> 01:07:58.320
And we were just mindlessly going. I was just

01:07:58.320 --> 01:08:00.340
mindlessly driving through subdivisions and shit.

01:08:00.380 --> 01:08:01.880
And I was like, I don't know where we're going.

01:08:01.920 --> 01:08:04.340
Yeah, I miss going to those estate sales. I do,

01:08:04.460 --> 01:08:06.420
too, a little bit. Yeah, it was fun. It was fun.

01:08:06.659 --> 01:08:08.579
It's not too late. We can do it any time. That's

01:08:08.579 --> 01:08:11.400
actually the genesis of how the podcast started.

01:08:11.579 --> 01:08:14.780
We would go to estate sales. You guys went. And

01:08:14.780 --> 01:08:15.980
then you were like, you guys, you should come

01:08:15.980 --> 01:08:18.619
along. And I went to estate sales with you. Is

01:08:18.619 --> 01:08:20.960
that how it started? Yes. We weren't doing podcasts

01:08:20.960 --> 01:08:23.840
before that? I don't think so. Really? No, we

01:08:23.840 --> 01:08:25.100
weren't. I know that for a fact because that's

01:08:25.100 --> 01:08:27.739
basically how I met you, Jeff, is when we were

01:08:27.739 --> 01:08:29.659
doing these estate sales. Estate sales? Yeah.

01:08:29.760 --> 01:08:32.319
And then we would go get a beer. And then we

01:08:32.319 --> 01:08:35.779
would sit at the bar and talk like we do. And

01:08:35.779 --> 01:08:37.680
then one of us was like, you know, we should

01:08:37.680 --> 01:08:40.079
fucking record this shit. It's fun. You'd have

01:08:40.079 --> 01:08:42.500
a camera hat with a camera on it. Right. A GoPro.

01:08:42.659 --> 01:08:46.720
A GoPro. A GoPro. I never really thought about

01:08:46.720 --> 01:08:48.399
that, but I guess that's how it started. That's

01:08:48.399 --> 01:08:50.680
how it started. So it was basically Jeff and

01:08:50.680 --> 01:08:53.220
I. We're the founders. Yes. We have it on the

01:08:53.220 --> 01:08:56.220
foil. Remember, Chuck? That's right. You're the

01:08:56.220 --> 01:08:59.359
one that coined me as the foil. You were a loose

01:08:59.359 --> 01:09:01.460
cannon. You were very conservative. I was the

01:09:01.460 --> 01:09:04.560
one that brought us together and wrapped us in

01:09:04.560 --> 01:09:08.430
warmth. And comfort. They're not a burrito. Moisture.

01:09:08.430 --> 01:09:10.390
I'm not a burrito. I'm the rice. You're saying

01:09:10.390 --> 01:09:12.430
I'm just rice? You're the cilantro. You're just

01:09:12.430 --> 01:09:15.550
white rice. Is that a merkin coming out of your

01:09:15.550 --> 01:09:18.449
shorts? Great. Never mind. Where's the music?

01:09:18.890 --> 01:09:21.510
Run the music. But we should do those estate

01:09:21.510 --> 01:09:23.430
sales again. It's been probably a couple years

01:09:23.430 --> 01:09:25.930
since we've done those. They're always fun. They're

01:09:25.930 --> 01:09:27.729
always fun. In fact, when we get out the car,

01:09:27.829 --> 01:09:29.350
we're like children trying to get to the front

01:09:29.350 --> 01:09:31.649
door. At least I am. I can't wait to get out

01:09:31.649 --> 01:09:33.310
the car. And if there's other cars that park,

01:09:33.350 --> 01:09:37.159
like... Around the same time you are. And it's

01:09:37.159 --> 01:09:38.500
kind of like, I'm going to beat them to the door

01:09:38.500 --> 01:09:40.439
because I don't want them. Some little old lady.

01:09:40.439 --> 01:09:43.079
You just knock them into the head. We were looking

01:09:43.079 --> 01:09:46.220
for like a fan or something for your garage.

01:09:46.380 --> 01:09:51.159
And I was like. Because it was like, what, 10,

01:09:51.159 --> 01:09:54.579
15 bucks for like a $55 fan. I was like, dude,

01:09:54.619 --> 01:09:57.260
get that. There's some good finds, man. It's

01:09:57.260 --> 01:10:00.000
downstairs in the garage. I grabbed these walnuts

01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:02.380
that were hand carved from Bangladesh. We stopped

01:10:02.380 --> 01:10:05.250
going when the Walmart. Scandal happened. When

01:10:05.250 --> 01:10:08.350
the walnut. Walnut. Keep going. Walnut. Well,

01:10:08.409 --> 01:10:10.529
I picked up these pair of walnuts. They were

01:10:10.529 --> 01:10:12.729
hand -carved from, I don't even know, Taiwan

01:10:12.729 --> 01:10:15.090
or something. It was badass, but they had all

01:10:15.090 --> 01:10:18.710
kinds of cool little sexual positions. I don't

01:10:18.710 --> 01:10:20.770
know. Were they sexual? Was it the Kama Sutra

01:10:20.770 --> 01:10:24.170
walnut? They were. I guess I didn't look that

01:10:24.170 --> 01:10:27.430
close. It was, I put them, they were in Paul's

01:10:27.430 --> 01:10:30.449
car, and one of them just fucking vanished. And

01:10:30.449 --> 01:10:33.189
I swear it was like in the wheel well. Isn't

01:10:33.189 --> 01:10:35.810
that when the bourbon fell out the back? No.

01:10:36.050 --> 01:10:39.510
Maybe. But here's the thing. He asked me where

01:10:39.510 --> 01:10:41.390
the walnuts were. I said, well, you must have

01:10:41.390 --> 01:10:43.630
left them in the car. So I go and he says, they're

01:10:43.630 --> 01:10:45.590
in the pouch in the back of the seat. And I go

01:10:45.590 --> 01:10:48.270
in there and there's none. Not one. Not one.

01:10:48.470 --> 01:10:50.350
And so I'm looking around in the car and I found

01:10:50.350 --> 01:10:53.289
one. And it was on the floorboard. And the other

01:10:53.289 --> 01:10:56.390
one has never been found. So I told Sean, if

01:10:56.390 --> 01:10:58.329
one's on the floorboard, that means the other

01:10:58.329 --> 01:11:00.229
one rolled out of the car, just like Axe and

01:11:00.229 --> 01:11:03.210
Eden or Axe and Oak. Axe and Oak. Well, that

01:11:03.210 --> 01:11:05.850
was from poor driving. And then what'd you do?

01:11:06.130 --> 01:11:09.590
And then he goes and looks up what the pair are

01:11:09.590 --> 01:11:13.109
worth. $3 ,500. But only the pair. It was $3

01:11:13.109 --> 01:11:17.229
,500. You have to have both. It was funny. Yeah.

01:11:17.979 --> 01:11:20.520
All right, it's April Fool's Day. Man, it was

01:11:20.520 --> 01:11:23.180
a good time. I enjoyed it. It was a good time.

01:11:23.340 --> 01:11:25.100
Good one. And a shout -out to the Heaven's Hill

01:11:25.100 --> 01:11:28.819
Distillery for the Five Brothers, the 1935. Is

01:11:28.819 --> 01:11:31.560
that the 1935 edition? I think that's where they

01:11:31.560 --> 01:11:33.239
started the distillery. Is that what that's from?

01:11:33.279 --> 01:11:35.319
So what is this edition called specifically?

01:11:35.539 --> 01:11:37.739
It's just Five Brothers. Five Brothers. Five

01:11:37.739 --> 01:11:39.340
Brothers version. Kentucky straight bourbon that's

01:11:39.340 --> 01:11:41.720
aged five to nine years. I recommend it. Commemorating

01:11:41.720 --> 01:11:45.520
the birth of that distillery. I recommend it

01:11:45.520 --> 01:11:49.500
for those. whiskey drinkers out there that aren't

01:11:49.500 --> 01:11:51.859
sure if they really want to get into it, this

01:11:51.859 --> 01:11:53.680
is a great starter. It's got a wonderful taste.

01:11:53.720 --> 01:11:54.760
And they're going to be in Kentucky, and they're

01:11:54.760 --> 01:11:56.619
going to go to the Heaven Hill. Buy it while

01:11:56.619 --> 01:11:58.720
you're there. 100%. And it's not one of those

01:11:58.720 --> 01:12:01.100
that it's going to, like, people are going, oh,

01:12:01.100 --> 01:12:03.319
my God, that hurts. It's not painful. It's not

01:12:03.319 --> 01:12:05.020
painful. It's not painful at all. Not at all.

01:12:05.340 --> 01:12:07.159
