Box, box, push, push. That's how the last one.
I know. I freaking love that show. That's right.
We talked about the other one. Yes. I mean, Shelly
and I, you would say that to each other. Box,
box, push, push. Well, in what kind of context?
When we're naked in bed. Talking about our box.
And you're like pushing it. Yeah. Lord, it's
the first half. She's like, she's box, box, push,
push. I haven't even started drinking yet. Push,
push into box, box. At least the lava lamp has
kind of calmed down a little bit. It's got rid
of that. It had some sort of rhino organ -looking
thing going on there. It looked like some sort
of intestinal tract. Yeah, it was kind of organ
-y. Shoot, so kind of off our game a little bit
out of... We're day early for our Monday night,
April 14th podcast. Paul's going out of town.
I am. A very important business meeting with...
My company. Where are you going? Tucson? I'm
going to Albuquerque. Albuquerque. Albuquerque.
Albuquerque. It's just a routine. You take a
left at Albuquerque? See, you know, I knew I
should have made a left turn at Albuquerque.
Nah, they've got a board meeting. They're going
to discuss whether they're going to put tampons
in the men's bathroom or not. I've already voted
yes, so. Are they going to be covered in ketchup
or have frozen ketchup pods? I don't know. Bullets?
I'm just doing a regular. You know, FaceTime.
So when they melted. How'd they do that anyways?
I mean, were they actually frozen? Yeah, they'd
freeze little ketchup bullets and they'd stick
with their butts. When they thawed, it would
leak. Good Lord. Don't knock it until you try
it, guys. I mean, you would think if you stick
a piece of ice on you, it wouldn't hurt you or
damage you. Didn't damage you. I don't know if
I'd want to put a suppository ice missile. I've
got frostbite around my anus. Well, plus there's
vinegar and tomatoes. Wouldn't that acid kind
of burn the inside of your rectum? I don't know.
Well, maybe we should have a guest that's tried
it. Well, let's reach out to Dylan Mulvaney.
Maybe he'll be interested in coming on here.
Is it Dylan? Is that how he says it? Dylan, Dylan.
Is it Paul or Paul? Please don't ever make that
face again. Please, for the love of God. 215
reasons. And certainly don't look at me while
you're doing it. Right. God, that was. Traumatizing.
All right. Well, it's April 14th, as I just said.

I love you guys. Wow. Jeez. Dudes Like Us podcast.
Don't be doing anything weird while you're doing
it. Yeah. Please. No, no. We prefer weird. We
do? Yeah. What the hell, man? Did you hear how
we opened up the damn podcast today? Of course
we like weird. Yeah, that's not Jeff. All right,
so we've got tons of topics to talk about. We've
got lots of stuff. We do. Yeah, well, I mean,
where do you want to start this big thing? Well,
I mean, we kicked off the great weekend with
Chuck and I. I don't know what you guys are doing.
Before we start that, I want to say a shout out
to Big Mike. Yes. Mike Ryan, that was your last
podcast. We had a great time with Big Stick's
distillery. Big Stick. I don't think it's plural.
but it's an X, isn't it? Hold on, I'm wearing
a shirt. It's a big stick. Oh, it is. It's a
big stick. Semper Fi. That was a cool podcast.
It was a cool -tasting whiskey, and that was
awesome. I had a good time. Shout out to those
guys. And it was a unique idea. I know if you've
listened to the podcast already, you already
know the story behind it, but great idea. Yeah,
I'm going to poke, and I'm trying to get to find
out how exactly he was preparing those staves
that go in there. I wanted to use a chart form.
We know that. We got that out of him. It's a
trade secret. Yeah, he designed the equipment.
Yeah, he built, well, he designed and built it,
his own equipment to make those staves. Right.
Now, I think he got a conveyor for a pizza cooker.
And just kind of. Just like a little mini one,
you know. Suck that sucker. Like a pizza hut
that closed nearby. Yeah, I guess. Like a ninja
pizza oven. Maybe, yeah. It's got a little conveyor
on there. You put them on one side and they pop
out on the other. Yeah, like, I mean, do you
really need to? Well, I mean, there has to be
flame. You can't just put it in an oven. Can't
heat up. No. Like microwave it? You have to burn
it. Like burn it, burn it. You just can't microwave
it? You can't bake it? I don't know. I don't
think you can microwave it. I think it's two
flamethrowers just going at each other. There
you go. That sounds more, yeah. That's more Mike's
style, too. I would probably prefer to get that
set up. So anyways, we had that. I want to shout
out to those guys. And what do you guys want
to talk about to start off with? Well, I want
to hear about Paul and Chuck's estate sale adventures.
Yeah. Because Sean and I got to miss out because
we were. We're busy, so. Busy. Working. Busy.
Yeah, you got the flurry of text messages with
nothing to do about it. Yeah, well, I traveled.
I actually traveled an incredible distance. That's
so dramatic. I mean, it was. I've crossed an
ocean. I mean, if you think about it, from driving,
I mean, it's like, God bless. I mean, I was running
hot. And I came in just in time to hit the Holy
Grail and eat some of those $5 wings. Anyway,
it was a trip. So did we hit two? We hit three.
We did hit three. Yeah. Okay, yes. So the first
one was kind of uneventful. They had some nice
stuff. They had a lot of stuff. It was kind of
pricey. Yeah, some of those can be. They kind
of overpriced themselves. Yeah. Did you guys
loudly fart? No, we didn't. We did not crop dust,
no. No, we didn't do any. That's what Jeff likes
to do. He likes to go to remote places. Usually
the garage where it's very echoey. Just for fun,
huh? Didn't keep up the tradition. Try to be
sly. Sean's got the hearing of a fucking rabbit.
Neither one of you can be sly when you're doing
that. So I'm not sure about that. But anyway,
it's interesting you say that everything was
expensive because that's what you do, right?
You stand there in the garage and you're like,
is that a good price? And then you pull out your
phone and you try to find it on eBay or you try
to find it on Amazon. Or Kohl's. Right, or Kohl's.
coverage is shitty right so it's oh yeah it's
like super slow and spinning and you get frustrated
and you go put your wi -fi log in right anyway
it was i mean it was it was interesting and then
i guess so they didn't have anything good so
they have like paintings and sofas and okay well
okay first off where we ended up Okay, first
off, the second one we went to was closing in
like, what, 10 or 15 minutes? Right, yeah. We
had 10 minutes to go. And we had our challenge.
Yeah, we had it. You got to dive into the state
of mind of these guys that actually work those
estate sales. It's just like, oh my God, I've
been here since, what, nine? And they're like,
I am leaving. I'm leaving. And you're either...
You're either going to leave or I'm going to
make you leave. Right. We're so angry. When we
walked in, we knew we only had like 10 minutes
left. Yeah, we were busting ass to get over there
too. Without my transmission. We made a little
fun game out of it, right? So I came up with
this thing. I said, every estate sale we go to,
at least maybe not everyone, but you have to
buy at least one item, and it has to be at least
$10. So we came up with that, and we had 10 minutes.
Chuck had 10 minutes to find his item. And everything's
like seven, three. Yes. You can't combine it.
You can't combine like a set of anything, right?
So I'm following him around the house going,
six minutes, five minutes. And Sean's texting
me furiously going, where are you guys at? I'm
like, I don't got time for this, Sean. I got
four minutes to find something. Anyway, then
I lost interest. I lost interest and I wandered
away. And then next thing I know, he's standing
at the place to pay. And I'm like, what the hell?
And it was literally closing. And I was like,
what'd you get? And it was a what? A wine aerator.
A wine aerator. And he was so happy. I was so
happy. He pointed it to me and it said $10. Anyway,
so we had some fun with that. But then ultimately
we ended up at this crazy, It was like a multi
-million dollar home. Oh, multi, multi -million
dollar home. It was the biggest house I've ever
been in. And it had the weirdest stuff in there.
It had a prayer room that was decked out, which
is totally cool. I mean, it may have been staged,
but it was a prayer room. Prayer room, just for
the sole purpose of prayer. And it had a kneeler,
and it had all these pictures of Jesus everywhere.
And obviously this person was a devout Catholic.
I told Shelly your joke. Here I am by myself
in the prayer room going, Wow. And Chuck walks
in and goes, Jesus. Jesus. Yes? What? I was like,
really, dude? Yes. Jesus. These people had a
life -size statue of Jesus that you find in a
church overlooking their family room. So they
had a room up there with big windows and angels
in there. And it was crazy, man. Was it for sale?
I've never seen anything. We never made it upstairs.
We didn't make it upstairs because we had to
go to Holy Grail. Yeah, because Sean was like,
I'm at the Holy Grail. I'm by myself. I've eaten
like four of these. I didn't say that. Just whenever
you're ready. Oh. Dude, I was working. We were
trying to get you to meet us there. And, you
know. No, dude, no. You weren't ready for that.
You wanted your beer and your - No, not with
my day. Beer and wings. And mind you, look, I
love going to a state's house. But it was just,
it's too late in the day and I was running from
- A to B, B to C, C to D. I didn't want to do
anymore. We did pick you up something because
we're nice. Yeah, and I was very thankful for
those. I brought those home, and Tara was like,
what are you going to do with those? She was
like, I know you're going to make those cookies
because I'm not. She said that to you? Yeah.
It was a set of four. She loves making cookies.
Hang on, you didn't even describe it. It was
a set of four Star Wars cookie molds. Yeah. A
set of Star Wars and Yoda. Yep. Stormtrooper.
Stormtrooper. Darth Vader and Boba Fett. And
Boba Fett, yeah. All the helmets. Literally,
when I said we need to buy this for Sean, or
maybe you said you might have, I don't know.
Anyway, I said, I envisioned Tara making you
these Star Wars cookies. You kidding me? Now,
if I were one of the kids, she would be making
them. She's a martyr for the kids, not me. Yeah.
That's all right. But you know what? May the
4th is coming around the corner. Or the 5th.
May the 4th. You got that so wrong. Yes. You
were so proud of yourself. May the 5th be with
you. And you didn't catch it. You mean the 4th.
Actually, I just thought I said it wrong again.
I was like, God damn. You said it right this
time. No, you got it right. Yeah. Well, I mean,
yeah. What was that? At the Holy Grail when I
said that? May the 4th be with you. And we all
jumped on. You're like, whoa. So then it's Cinco
de Mayo right after that. So it's like a back
-to -back celebration type of thing. That's a
fake holiday as well. It totally is. It's no
Independence Day. Yeah, no one cares. It's got
nothing to do with Mexico. It's a reason for
people to drink Mexican beer and sit on a patio
and have tacos. I'm not doing that. I'm not subscribing
to that anymore. In fact, moving forward, dudes
like us, I proclaim no celebration for the Cinco
de Mayo. Really? You're boycotting. It's not
real. I'm not boycotting. It's not real. Because
I asked my Mexican guys. I was like, so Cinco
de Mayo, he's like, yeah, that's not real. Yeah,
that's not real. Okay, so Cinco de Mayo celebrates
Mexico's victory over the French forces at the
Battle of Puebla on May 5th, 1862. So it's a
real thing. Well, he said that it's a very small
Mexican battle that they don't pay attention
to. It's insignificant because he ended up losing
later. In Mexico, it's a minor holiday mainly
observed in Puebla. Yes. Yeah. That's what he
told me. They're like, yeah, that's not something
down here. Interesting. It's Americans. Maybe
like the Mexicans celebrating the Battle of Gettysburg
or something. Well, they're looking at the month
of May. They're like, hey, we got to have a holiday
souvenir somewhere. What are we going to do?
Corona's got to sell some beer. Uno de Mayo.
Yeah, that would work because there's nothing
else in May. And they went through all the numbers.
Which one sounds right? Uno de Mayo. Dos de Mayo.
Nope. Seco. Catorze. That one works. Whoa, that's
a good one. Catorze de Mayo. Yes. Quince. Quince.
Anyway, it was fun. We hadn't been to estate
sales in a while, so that was, I think we - Yeah,
so that whole thing kind of started off. Jeff
and I kind of, I don't even know how we got going
on it, but it was like one of those things. We
were just like, we probably saw a sign. I think
it's what it was. We saw a sign. We're driving
around and we're like, let's go check that out.
And then we got hooked. Yeah. You know? Then
we downloaded the app or the website. We're like,
well, let's plot out our shit. That's kind of
what we did on Friday. .net. Estatesales .net.
I don't remember. It's been so long. Actually,
it takes you anywhere in your region. It's really
easy to do, man. I mean, I found myself standing
in the kitchen debating whether to buy the paprika.
And Shelly was like, oh my God, you would have
bought that? I was like, well, yeah, we're out
of paprika. I mean, why wouldn't I? She's like,
you don't know what they put in there. It's a
dollar. And I'm like, what did they put in? Like,
you know, fentanyl powder? What are you talking
about here? I think it's pretty safe to buy some,
you know, used seasonings. Don't you think? Well,
it depends how used. You got to see how old they
are. That's true. It's like eight -year -old
paprika. No one should buy mine. That would be
newer than any seasoning I have. Yes. Don't ever
buy my seasoning because that's not going to
go well. Yeah, but they've got fun things. I
mean, I enjoy going throughout the whole house.
I kind of gravitate towards the kitchen utensils,
looking at some of those knives. Oh, yeah. Dude,
it's endless kitchen stuff. That's how we got
into it because Larry would buy the knives at
these estate sales. And cutting boards. And cutting
boards, yes. The first place we went to hunt.
The first place we went to had more murder weapons
per capita than I've seen. They had that giant
wrench. They had a case of .45 ammo. They had
hundreds of knives. Yeah, they did. This guy
was ready to take somebody out. Were they selling
the ammo? Yeah. It was $25 a box, which wasn't
bad. How much was in a box? Was it a standard
box? A standard box of 50, yeah. Yeah, I don't
know. I didn't know if that was a good deal or
not, but I don't have a 45. 50 cents a round.
I have a 45. Yeah, I know. I thought about you
there. Any batons? Any maces? No, just plumbing
equipment. And some old tackle boxes. If you're
a young couple starting out, or you're like a
college kid that needs kitchen stuff, dude. Well,
we did that for the boys, and they're like, no,
this is used. We need new. Yeah. Who said that?
The boys. It's just like - Are you kidding me?
But you could seriously go in there, and if you
wait to the last day, whatever that day is -
Oh, everything 50 % off. Oh, dude, it's 75. They're
like, just give us a nickel. We don't give a
fuck. We don't want to carry this shit home.
Right. Because, I mean, there was one time, and
I didn't need it, but they had like a $1 ,200
set. They were like, dude, just give us 50 bucks
for it. And there were like 20 plates, saucers,
cups. You know, salad plates, salad bowls. Did
you get it? I didn't get it. I should have because
I'm super OC when it comes to the shit in our
cabinets. I can't stand the hodgepodge of shit
that we have going on up there. I open it up
and there's like. It's all mismatched. Oh, I
can't. It freaks me out. That's funny. It freaks
me out. That's why. Whatever. So, I mean, I like
them all uniform. I like them to stack nice and
neat. Oh, yeah. And you hate my cabinet. Well,
your cabinet doors are closed, and I don't typically
open them. Well, yours are closed now, aren't
they? Amen. So I don't have to look at that stuff.
For those who don't know, my wife, she didn't
like our cabinet doors one day. She was like,
yeah, you know what? I don't want these cabinet
doors on there. She took them off. Okay, they
weren't being worked on or repainted or anything?
She just took them off. She took them off, and
she was just like, well, we'll figure out what
we're going to do with them later. I was like,
oh, okay. So I stacked them all in the garage,
and then her dad was kind of like, oh, yeah,
I could build you some new cabinets. And so he
started the process. He took the old ones off.
That started the whole thing. Dude, he put the
first round of cabinets up four or five years
ago. He's still not done. Well, I mean, they're
really ornate. They're wonderful cabinets. I
don't want to be ungrateful, and I'm sorry if
I sound ungrateful, but it's five fucking years,
and he's still not done. Way too long. I'm just
like, God damn. And Tara, she gets all mad at
me. She's like, well, you can always make them.
Why don't you go pay somebody to do it? And I
was like, okay. She has a hardcore lisp in your...
Well, whatever. Whatever. It's just, you know,
it's a father, so what are you going to do? It's
just like, that's why I'm like, don't do business
with family when it comes to stuff like that,
you know? Yeah, that's probably true. You know,
especially with him. Look, my father -in -law
makes great, great products. I mean, if you have
the finished product, it's immaculate. He does
multi -million dollar jobs, super high end, but
there's no sense of urgency. None. I'll get to
it when I can, you know? Whatever. Yep. Anyways.
I get it. So we were, yeah, the estate sales
were awesome. I enjoyed it. I bought a set of...
Collector item walnuts, paint carved with all
the wonderful sketches on there. Talk about a
find. Oh, dude. What a find. I was Googling it,
and they had a bunch of sexual positions on there.
I was like, how did they engrave all that? It
was amazing. And, yeah, I guess I accidentally
got out of the car, and one rolled out. I mean,
I don't know. That's exactly what happened. I
also remember we were at a place, and there was
a big hunk of petrified wood. Oh. And you were
kicking yourself all the way. It's like one of
the biggest regrets I have. What are you going
to do with a hunk of petrified wood? Oh, this
thing was beautiful. So it was a little bit smaller
than a starter log, and it was a petrified piece
of wood, and it had crystals all up and down
it. Oh, that's kind of cool. Oh, it was wonderful.
And it was like 20 bucks. It was something like
that. Yeah. And I was like, yeah. And I was like,
you know what? I'm going to get it. I went back
like not even two minutes later. It was gone.
Somebody bought it. Someone picked it up. Yeah.
I think it just magically disappeared. I mean,
it's crystallized. It was a magic lamp. Dude,
it was frustrating because I bet that thing was...
Actually, I don't even care. I loved it. It was
great. It was priceless for you. I'm telling
you, you can find all sorts of crazy stuff. I
mean, depending on how you decorate your home,
you can find amazing things. Well, I find it
kind of creepy when you know that the person
has passed away. Yes. And you're like... you're
going through their clothes. I know. Jeff's like,
do these Depends fit? They've got like 15 boxes
of Depends. Yeah, they'll have Depends and all
their toiletries. And I'm just like, this person,
it's like they just died and then. Their shit
is still laying there. And Sean's in the closet
sniffing the underwear. I mean, it's just weird.
It is weird. Now, they wouldn't let you in the
closet, but they did have - Well, they have big
racks. Yeah, you'd walk in closets. Yeah. And
you'd go in there and you could - But I mean,
they didn't have the underwear there. They didn't
have the underwear. Man, you looked. You really
looked. But they had that one time, the Masonic
head garb that I wore. Oh, that's right. It was
the - Where is that picture? Was that the Shriners
or something like that? Yeah, the Shriners. Do
you look like Fred Flintstone there? Dude, I
took a picture. Jeff took a picture of me with
it, and I was just like - I have no idea what
that is. I thought that was from work. No, that
was an estate sale. It was? Yes. What the fuck
would I be wearing a hat like that at work? No,
because you went to some place that had been
damaged, and you were checking out the weird
stuff that they had there. I never put two and
two together that it was an estate sale. Oh,
that's so dumb. Hey, Paul, you remember the first
house we went to had the, what was it, Fibro
Malaysia? for dummies book yes oh we have malaysia
for dummies yeah we had we had oh we had lots
i'm sorry to hear that and they had paper plates
for like 25 or something yes and yeah some of
that stuff was you could buy cheaper at costco
yeah i was like why am i gonna pay 25 for paper
plates so i it's kind of fun also to piece together
what those people are doing Like when we were
at that really expensive house, we were trying
to figure out what did this guy do? Yeah, we
went to his library. His library had a marble
desk that was beautiful. And the books on the
shelf were pediatric urology. So this guy was
a pediatric urologist. With an office. Right.
Send that to me. Oh, my God. You guys have been
looking up the picture of the goofy hat. Is that
the Moose Lodge? It says Hella on it. Are they
Shriners? Shriner? Shriner. Yes. No, it wasn't
Shriner. It was like the Masons or something.
Weird. Very weird. It was interesting, but it
was one of the original. It's from the early
1900s. Oh, wow. It was old stuff. I think that
these Masons have a cool history. It's kind of...
and shrouded in kind of secrecy kind of stuff,
you know? Like a secret club. Eh, whatever. I
don't know. I mean, they say that the presidents
were all Masons, and they've got just a brotherhood
out there. You know, and I don't know how deep
that goes. It's just a reason. It's the lodge.
Fred Flintstone was in the lodge. The loyal order
of the Water Buffaloes Lodge. Yes. It's just
a reason to get away from the wife and have some
bourbon and smoke some cigars. I mean, that's
pretty much all it was. Well, then you had the
skulls. Was it Brown or Princeton? Was it in
a movie? That's where the Bush was a part of
it. Yeah, the skulls. A skull and bones. Yeah.
What? I've never heard of this. It's one of the
Ivy League schools. It's a fraternity at Yale.
So it's just another, again, it's just a goofy
guy's reason to get together and be idiots, right?
Yeah, well, you know, the hazing parts of it
are kind of crazy. And they wear robes and, you
know, chant. And behead a lamb and spray lamb
blood all over each other. Yeah, they gut virgins.
Yeah, paddle each other a little bit. Jeff, God.
Part of the hazing phase that they would, they
accrued these big, these large blocks of ice.
And it was big enough to sit like five guys on
at a time. And they would take an olive and they
would put five olives on there. And what the
guys had to do was drop their trousers, pick
up the olive with their butt cheeks. Are you
making this up? That's what I heard. Okay. Very
descriptive. It was. I was like, man. Was there
like a pimento in the olive? Well, I don't know.
Maybe they squeezed it hard enough. Maybe that
was part of it. You had to squeeze that into
the other guy's mouth. Was it pitted and it had
to be unpitted when they squeaked it out? Okay.
All right. Imagine sitting on the ice thing,
your butt's all cold, trying to squeeze up and
pick up that. I'd be like spreading those cheeks.
See, you guys are trying to make me say something
that you're going to send a little clip at. Make
a little snippet of it. Make a little press column.
Jeff just did one himself. He said about spreading
his cheeks. Oh, but he never says one of his
own. He never sends one. Well, that's what we
need to start changing. That's why we need to
start coming up here and do the editing ourselves.
Oh, now I know the motivation. Well, that's why
he doesn't want to share it. I was like, no,
guys, I can do the editing myself. No, no, no,
I need to edit. I need to edit. No, that's good.
Yeah, but hazing is a big deal. There's a lot
of people that get hazed in horrible ways where
drinking too much water. Yeah, you can die from
that. Drinking alcohol or whatever. One kid did.
Yeah, one kid died from drinking too much water
at a hazing event. I think for the most part,
they're clamping down on that for the most part.
You still hear it happening, though. You do.
You still hear about... you know, football teams
or sporting teams doing the same thing. Doing
something stupid, yeah. I know. And then it goes
sideways and, you know. And then they show pictures
of, like, you know, everybody had to slap them
with a stick or a board or something, and then
they show their thighs, how they're just purple.
Yep. I mean, dude, fuck that. If that happened
to one of our kids, we would be screaming bloody
murder. And, of course, they would be horrified
that we would do that because there would be
the. Great, I'm the one that has the parents
that complain to the school about my hazing.
You know what I mean? They don't want to be that
kid, you know? Right. Yeah, but the hazing is
stupid. It is. It is. I mean, actually, it's
not stupid. I think that there should be a level
of hazing, but it shouldn't involve putting yourself
at risk for pain. It shouldn't involve pain.
It shouldn't involve anything like that. Yeah,
no physical touching. Like, don't beat them.
Do anything weird. Just make them drink to death.
Don't do that either. Look at that. Shot to death.
That's a good haze. These are the list of the
thousands of hazing deaths. Oh, my God. Death
from alcohol intoxication. Joint died following
a pledge sneak in which pledges were roughhousing
with members. That's where they had a pillow
full of oranges. They would beat each other to
death. At Frostburg State. Where the hell is
that? I've never heard of it. Frostburg State.
Choking to death on his vomit after a ritual
drinking game. Maryland. Well, these are horrific
ways to die. Dumb ways to die. Hazing's a dumb
way to die. Speaking of, we could speak of some
deaths that have happened. Yeah, we have fallen
behind on talking about it. We have. There's
three that we should cover. We should. We'll
get the lady out of the way, Bob Flack. Roberta
Flack. I was like, Bob. Bob Flack. Bobby. Famously
sang. There you go. Look at you, Johnny, on the
spot. Remade by Alicia Keys. Incorrect. Incorrect.
No. Yeah, but Roberta Flack had such a great
voice and is a sign of the times with her, the
way she was singing, her passion. Aretha Franklin,
you know, different style. The Fugees is the
one you're thinking of. Yeah, the Fugees, 1996
version featuring Lauryn Hill. I remember hearing
this song when I was driving around with my mom
in a, You better kill it or we're going to get
booted from something. In a shit brown duster
car with black and white checks in the seat,
and my mom was smoking, and the windows were
up because it was cold out, and this song comes
on. It's baked into my brain. Really? Yeah, that's
experience. Isn't it crazy how songs can do that?
Yeah. Capture a moment in time that you'll never
forget. Jeffrey, can you pass my cigarette lighter?
I think it's back there. I dropped it on the
floor. Where's my ashtray? Give me ashtray. She
never got the cigarette voice. Not that I know
of, but who knows? She didn't sound like Marge
Simpson. Well, I grew up with it, so maybe I
didn't recognize it. I don't know. That's exactly
what we sounded like, isn't it? So did she have
the cliche push -in cigarette lighter in the
car, just like funk, funk? No, she had those.
She heats up, got the little spiral. You ever
get burned by one of those? Yes, it leaves a
nice spiral. Yeah. It has circles on your skin.
Oh. Yeah. Why did you get, was it you playing
around with it? Yeah, you just stopped me like,
is it really that hot? Oh, yeah. I mean, I've
got burned by them. It's just fucking stupid.
Oh, look how pretty it is. Is that red hot thing
really that hot? Like a moth to a flame. Okay.
And it's like literally, like the air around
it is crystallizing. Yeah. You couldn't figure
out that it was going to burn you, huh? But it
is amazing. And I've got this torture weapon
inside of a vehicle. Yes. Seriously. It was.
Yeah, but I have that distinct memory. of this
song and a couple others. Dionne Warwick is another
one. I can't listen to her to this day because
of that. Really? Yes, I have a hard time. Anyway,
that song doesn't bother me as much as Dionne
Warwick. Are these bad memories? No, it's just
I was stuck and it's stuffy and it was smoky.
So yeah, it was not pleasant. Yeah, the windows
were up, like I said, and it sucked. Does anybody
do that anymore? Did they smoke in the car with
the kids in there? The kids in the car with the
windows up? I see it. Is that an eastern Oklahoma
thing? No, I see it. It's not very often, but
I see it. Vaping or smoking, the kids are in
the back. I'm just like, come on, man. But it
was a sign of the times. I've got to be honest
with you. Now is way worse than then because
back then, Phillip and Morris, they weren't actively
over -spraying the tobacco. You know, now that's
what they're doing to make you more addicted
to it. You know, back then it was a cigarette
smoke, you know. And, yeah, it's a carcinogen,
but, you know. Well, I think the tar is the carcinogen,
not the nicotine. Right? Well, yeah. The black
shit that would come off the smoke. So the sidestream
smoke is almost as bad as the mainstream smoke.
Right. But you're right. The nicotine is basically
the thing you want, not the smoke. They were
saying for the longest time it's even worse because
it's not filtered at all. Right? The smoke coming
off the cigarette is not filtered at all, but
the stuff going through the cigarette, through
the filter at the end, right, the little yellow
filter, the orange filter. Well, it was white.
Then it turned, like, dark. because it was just
filtering all the shit. Right, right. But it
wasn't filtering all of it. Right. But that's
what I remember. It was like the people sucking
in the smoke, it's more filtered than the people
around them that were getting the secondhand
smoke. It was even worse. Then you also had the
unfiltered camels. Right. It was just like a
fucking joint -looking thing. Could you imagine?
Anyway. Yeah. There was a time I smoked those,
the unfiltered camels. Yeah. Yeah, it was a guy
I worked with. He would smoke them. I would bum
them from him. And I tell you what, man, I'd
lick the side of it, the seam of it, just by
routine, lick it, smoke that thing up. It got
to the point where I was, it's pretty caustic,
man. Yeah, I was going to say. So did one that
was unfiltered give you a better buzz? Yes. Probably
more flavorful as well. More flavorful. Yeah,
a lot of flavor, but a buzz. It's kind of like,
I haven't done it, but Chuck has those nicotine
pouches. Those things are deathly, man. We gave
one to Nicole at a bar and she immediately almost
passed out. Yeah, there was a doctor at a bar.
She's a psychiatrist and she specializes in something,
something, something. Yeah, she saw me tuck one
away and she's like, I want to try. I said, these
are not the... beginner level ones. These are
nine mil. These are the big boys. Yes. These
are the manly men. The manly men ones. I still
want to try. Okay. Can you sign a waiver or something?
Did she literally get lightheaded? She got lightheaded,
dizzy. She said the room was spinning and she
started hiccuping immediately. Like after how
many minutes? Like zero. Yeah, it is fast. I
have no desire to do that. It goes right to your
bloodstream. Go ahead. We had a big debate about
whether nicotine was dangerous or bad for you
or not yeah nicotine actually has a wonderful
a lot of wonderful attributes and uh to the to
the tune of yeah that's right we could kind of
talk about this so yeah so first of all let's
back up a little bit you know for cigarette smoking
is it's bad for you if you smoke and you put
uh smoking in your lungs that's not good for
you uh but the nicotine is good you know it's
uh improved attention memory alertness um it
reduced stress uh it also attacks certain cancer
stuff i mean there's a lot of positive things
that nicotine does tucker carlson yeah they said
it helps with ms i was i was shocked at that
yeah yes uh alzheimer's um so apparently it's
got it's got a bad name but yeah so you were
saying tucker carlson was you know kind of parkinson's
was digging into that and was kind of pointing
out the hd so um yeah exactly so And Tucker Carlson
was an advocate for it. He was promoting a specific
brand, Zinn, Z -Y -N. And there was something
going on where there was some disagreement between
the company that made Zinn and Tucker. And Tucker's
kind of like, fuck off, man. Zinn's a girl fucking
company. I'm making my own company up, and it's
for men. Yours is for women, and mine is for
men. So it immediately started some sort of...
or some advertising thing. So Tucker Carlson
developed his own company where he's making these
nicotine pouches. Nicotine pouches. It's called
ALP. Yeah, ALP. That's exactly what it is. Is
that what you do? No. Are you Zen for ladies?
No. I'm too cheap for that. I'm too cheap for
that. No, so Zinn is owned by Philip Morris,
I want to say. And Tucker has a problem with
their DEI policies, right? He's like, why am
I supporting this company and they're all DEI
and they're doubling down on DEI policies? I
should just make my own. And so he partnered
with somebody else and they're... That's chain
and steam, man. This whole anti -DEI thing is...
I think it's here to stay. It may have reversed.
this really bad trend that we've been yeah you
still have people fighting at those even even
though the schools that you know you heard that
uh uh was it harvard or yale or somebody who
got their uh maybe it was columbia who had their
400 million dollars revoked yep uh there's been
a couple of them now now and they're in their
little team meeting or like that you know that
all the professors are like well what are we
gonna do and she's like just business as usual
we'll keep doing it we'll just kind of call it
something else right kind of a thing. Oh, yeah.
There are military branches that were doing that
as well. Not branches, but like bases. Yeah.
So it's a matter of you're going to have to stay
on top of them to make sure, because they're
going to hide it. They're going to keep doing
it. They're going to hide it. Right. So let me
rattle off a few more things that nicotine does.
And these are all kind of, look, this stuff's
been around forever. You know, it's not hidden.
It's kind of like Borax. You know, Borax has
been around forever. I don't want to talk about
that now, but... Borax is like an incredible
thing to take as a supplement to help you. I
don't think you mean Borax. Do you mean Boron?
Is Borax a brand of chemical? I think Borax is
a brand. I think it is Borax, but I will - It's
like Clorox. I was going to say it's like a chlorine
cleaner or something. Yeah, I think it is. Okay,
sodium borate. Yeah. Borate. Yeah, yep, yep.
I think it's - There might be a name brand, but
- It's a household cleaner. Yeah, I think you're
talking about, you're thinking of the ant killer.
Yeah. Yeah, that's not what I'm referring to.
All right, so it's not good for you. Don't take
Borax. No, no, this is actually good. No, but
I didn't want to talk about that. I was going
to continue with the nicotine. Weight loss, tissue
repair, neuroprotection. It also, well, the Alzheimer's
by itself. Right. Dementia. That stuff is, if
you can better your memory. And you can reconnect
those things just by taking nicotine? I mean,
100%. I mean, I don't know. I mean, there are
your relatives out there. I don't know if it
can reverse any of that stuff. Certainly, we're
trying. There's no other cure. There's no cure
out there right now. Right. All right, Sean,
don't take Borax. Yeah, it's not good for you.
Well, actually, maybe not that particular one.
It might have been Boron. It says it is toxic
if ingested. Well, let's just table that. Let
me find out some more information. I was reading
about it, and I'm pretty sure it is Borax, but
I think there's an amount that you take that
is supposed to be good for you. I don't know.
Maybe it is Boron, but I think it is Borax. It's
not Boron either. Don't take either one. No,
one of them is good for you. Talk to your doctor.
I definitely know that they sell Boron as a supplement.
I've got a bottle of it, and I don't know why.
It's in my... There is a doctor in, I want to
say... Oh, there it is. In Australia. I have
it. And this doctor was subscribing Borax to
his... Or on. No, it was Borax. There's no way
it's Borax. It was Borax. Dude, I know what it
was. It wasn't that. That's why I wanted to table
this. I wanted to dig into it a little bit more.
Yeah, we'll look into it. But basically what
he was saying is he prescribed these to some
people and they immediately got better. Interesting.
Yeah, like cancer fighting stuff, you know, just
completely reversed it, disappeared. And immediately
within weeks of him, because he had gone to a
manufacturer and wanted to put them in pill form.
because he was giving them the raw elements.
He was like, no, dude, let me give them, make
a pill for them. So he got set up with a pharmaceutical
company to make it, and they shut the whole thing
down. And then a couple of weeks later, they
went ahead and they put some literature out there
saying it was bad for you and it'll kill you.
So first off, if there's anything that can be
made naturally that they can't either synthesize
or they can't patent. They can't make money on
it. They can't make money on it, and so they're
going to just squash it. They're going to be
like, this is horrible for you, blah, blah, blah.
So I would be cautious to dismiss anything out
there that the pharmaceuticals say that is, you
know. And I don't want people to run out there
and start jamming on Borax either. But it's just,
that's what I heard. Borax is a cleaner. Yeah,
it's got to be something similar to what you're
thinking, Sean. But the word is Borax. All right,
well, do some more research on that and come
back. And it was Lorax. No, it was Clorax. No,
it was Borax because they, he even said he started
talking about Boron after that. Interesting.
I don't know. So what is, what is she legit?
She legit. She legit. Don't quit. Hey, hey. Oh,
this is a... I just bought some coincidentally
today. What is that? I saw it scroll around up
there. Sheila -jit? Sheila -jit. Sheila -shit.
Sheila -shit. Who's Sheila? So you just bought
some, but you don't know what it is? Sheila -jit.
There it is right there. So, S -H -I -L -A -G
-J... I -T. Himalayan. Oh, is it salt? Oh, God.
Here we go again. Himalayan salt. It's not Celtic,
though. No, it's not. It is shilajit extract.
So, shilajit, it's a natural resin -like substance.
It's believed to offer a wide range of health
benefits, including improved bone health, increased
energy, enhanced... cognitive function. It's
also thought to support the immune system, potentially
reducing inflammation. It may even help with
altitude sickness, Jeff. Did you bring it up,
or you just saw it on the screen? Well, it was
scrolling by, and I saw Shilajit. So, coincidentally...
I heard him say it a couple times. Yeah, well,
I have taken Shilajit. I just ran out last week,
and I take them when I have to do... To me, it's
kind of like that... Joe Rogan supplement, brain.
Brain energy. It was brain, whatever the hell
it was. Brain, what was it called? Brain fuel?
Brain boost or something like that. Yeah, I forget
what it was. Oh, the one you were taking here?
Yeah, I had a bottle here. I had one at home.
And it had Chilajit in it? No, that didn't. Oh.
But this one, it's similar to that. So I do it
whenever I have to write long reports and I require
just kind of a different spin. My brain works
a little bit differently. I do it when I play,
when I game. Gaming is incredible. I could play
a game for 20, 30 minutes, take a Shilajit, and
it acts like within 5, 10 minutes. It automatically
runs through me, and I'm a different gamer, like
big time. I might need to look into it. My focus
at work is absolutely horrible. Anything distracts
me. Anything. Mainly the damn phone. Mainly the
damn phone. Yeah, you should turn your phone
off. I really should, but the problem is I'm
looking up something, right? I'm looking up something
like... News. For work. No, it's for work. That's
what your computer's for. Butt plugs. I use ChatGPT
a lot. It's really, really helpful for me, and
I cannot access it. They won't let us have it
on the work computer. Do you have another computer
you could have set up next to you? I could, but,
I mean, I don't know. I don't have a big desk.
Why don't you get a little tablet? So I use my
phone. I mean, it's super easy. I just open up
ChatGPT on my phone, and sure enough, I get distracted
by a personal email I got or a text that I got.
Or an Instagram that you start scrolling. Yep,
yep. Doom scroll. Oh, the worst. Pictures that
you guys have sent me. We don't do that. Never.
That's all you. So anyway, getting back to the
deaths, there's two more. Yes. The other one,
we'll see the big one. Not the big one, but I
think for most people we'll be familiar with.
Yes. Next one is Dick Chamberlain, Richard Chamberlain.
He was an actor for years and years and years.
He just died of old age, I believe. Like a big
theater actor? Oh, he was a hunk back in the
day, but he ends up, he's actually a gay guy.
Sailor? Yeah. Oh, I recognize him. Yeah, he was
in Shogun. He was in Shogun. He was in Thorn
Birds. I remember watching Thorn Birds with my
mom. Was he in Logan's Run? No. I don't think
so. He was in Thorn Birds, and I remember watching
that with my mom. It was about the priest who
falls in love with the hot and sexy Australian
lady. Oh. It was in King Solomon's Mind. Yeah,
Thorn Birds, the attractive lady there. Yeah,
King Solomon. Richard Chamberlain. Yeah. I know
who he is. Yeah. I wasn't odd. Like I said, he
was in movies in the 60s, 70s. Yeah, he's a different
generation. Yeah, he's a different generation.
Our parents would think he was awesome. The Slipper
and the Rose. Yes. I mean, he was, for the most
part, before our time, outside of a couple of
things. I would agree with that. Yeah. I mean,
I know of him, but my dad would probably be like,
Richard Chamberlain. Oh, yeah. All of his movies
were awesome. Yeah, super great. Oh, The Towering
Inferno. The Towering Inferno, yeah. Yeah, that
was a big one. We were all traumatized by that
as a kid, right? I watched The Swarm. I watched
The Swarm. That and The Poseidon Adventure, right?
Yes, both of those. With Shelley Winters. Yeah,
Shelley Winters and Gene Hackman were in that.
No kidding. Both of those movies were very traumatic.
Nightmare Cinema, look at that. What's up with
that? All right, move on to the big one. Anyway,
so the next one, and I think the one that the
folks who are going to listen to this are going
to be most familiar with, is Val Kilmer. Iceman,
right? Right. And he just had an unfortunate
turn of events in his life. You know, I don't
know if I read, I can make a presumption of what
killed him, but he had throat cancer. Yeah. But
I thought that he beat that. But I don't know.
Maybe it came back and that's what ended up getting
him here at the end. And it made him so debilitated.
Well, it made him sound, you know, really rough
because he was in that last Top Gun. Well, you
had to use the machine, right? That kind of a
thing? Yes, Jeff. It's on the streets right now.
Yes. But he was in a lot of great movies growing
up at our age, right? So I think the first time
I remember seeing him, he was in Top Secret or
Real Genius. I love both those movies are great.
Top Secret was like. The cliche classic comedy.
Yeah. You know, the little shindigs. And Real
Genius was funny, too. Yeah. Top Secret is like
Airplane, but for spies. Totally spoof. And the
other one I remember him in is Willow. Great
movie. Which wasn't too far behind, but that
was a great flick as well. I thought it was,
too. And I thought the redhead in that thing,
that movie, was like smoking hot. And she never
became an A -lister as far as I remember. I don't
know. I know. Disney made a Willow series, came
out a couple years ago. It was terrible. Really?
She was in that. Oh, she was? She was in that.
She replayed, I mean, she was the same character.
Val wasn't in it. The midget was. The little
person? The Willow. Yes. And it was terrible.
And it was so bad, it got so bad reviews that
Disney actually yanked it and deleted it from
their library. Oh, no. Yes. So Val Kilmer actually
died of pneumonia. What's up with that picture
right there of Val Kilmer? Well, that's what
I'm saying. He was going on with that. No, he
looked awful at the end. Towards the end, he
was not well. Yeah. Well, he was a handsome man
back in the day, man. Yeah, that one picture,
he kind of looks like the dude from Ghostbusters
in the painting. Vigo. Vigo. But I remember when
he was in Top Gun, he was a badass, and he played
a cocky asshole really, really well. My favorite
movie was The Saint. He was amazing. Oh, yeah,
it was good, too. And it doesn't help that Elizabeth
Shue was in that movie. She looked smoking hot
in that movie. That's my favorite Val Kilmer
movie right there. You can just see her boobs
in the boys. Oh, wow. So on April 5th, 2025,
Kilmer died of pneumonia in L .A. at 65. Other
contributing underlying factors towards his death
included acute hypoxemic respiratory failure,
chronic respiratory failure, squamous cells,
That's skin cancer. And on the base of his tongue,
malnutrition and trachea on his fistula. Huh?
Malnutrition on his tongue? Trachea cutaneous
fistula. Fistula? Dude, he was just not well.
So he's fucked up. And that kind of explains
the inflated throat areas and why he kind of
looked like the dude from Willow. Yeah. Yeah,
well, anyway, that was good. And he was also
in Batman. He played Batman, I believe. Oh, I
think he did. That's right. For one movie, I
think. Yeah, he did. And another good one that
he was in is Tombstone. Yes. If you guys watched
that. Yes, that was a good one. That was where
he was dying. Yes, he was sick. He played Doc
Holliday. Oh, he played Jim Morrison, too, in
The Doors. Yes, he did. I saw that when I was
at college. I'm not sure I ever saw that. The
Greatness of Heat. They're making a second one
of those. Yeah, the Heat has probably one of
the best gunfighting scenes ever. It lasts 20
fucking minutes. It's incredible. I also read
that when they filmed that, they were using the
real machine. Live ammo? No, they weren't using
live ammo. But they recorded the sound and they
got back. And typically in those things, you
use Foley and you replace all the sounds. They
decided we're going to keep it. Because it sounded
so good reverberating. Dude, when they were doing
their street battles. Yeah. Those are the real
sounds. They didn't replace those. That is. They
typically do. It was a great, great movie. Well,
pour one out for Val Kilmer. Do I now? I said
pour one out for Val Kilmer. Yes. Cheers. Well,
cheers, guys. Cheers to all those folks that
passed away. And, you know, there's a lot of
people out there we look up to. Absolutely. Whether
they're stars or not. And it's kind of sad. I
don't want to say, yeah, no, I look up to a lot
of these guys. And I would prefer that these
idiots who take their stardom serious and don't
do stupid shit like the six pack of astronauts
that just went up in space. We have Katy Perry
like, I put the ass in astronaut. I mean, what
the hell is that all about? I mean, if you're
going to be a star. Just own it. Didn't she say
she wanted to sing in space? She did sing. She
sang Louis Armstrong's song. The Wonderful Life?
Yeah. No. Do they have helium up there? Did something
happen to your voice up there or something? It's
the Wonderful World. No. Wonderful Life? Wonderful
World. Wonderful World. Is there something that
changes your vocal cords when you're out in space?
I love you. No, I mean, she was just singing
in the capsule. That's so retarded. I think she
should have, like, took her shirt off and see
what her jugs did in, like, zero gravity. Oh,
I would. Those things probably became bulbous
and just kind of squared up. They would want
to be spherical because, look, when you're out
in space, the whole thing, if you have a little
thing of water, it's like a little ball. The
boobies would have done the same thing. You know,
that could be a future thing. Only fans space.
Only fans space trip. I wonder if it would be
like one of those perpetual motion machines.
There you go. There you go. So you spend, you
got like $8 million. You can go up there into
space, and you can have a little pendulum of
these knockers going back and forth. Yeah, no.
Yeah, apparently she came down and knelt and
kissed the ground and goes, now I know what love
really means. She was gone for eight minutes.
Okay, I will say this. Eight minutes. We can't
possibly comprehend how. what kind of experience
it would be to see Earth from orbit. Are you
kidding me? There's a picture right there. Do
you recall what we did Friday? Not quite the
same thing. But you know what I mean? And that
seems to be a common thing. People who come back,
they're like, wow. Like, wow. Well, I think you
probably realize how small you actually are.
That's what I mean. That's exactly what I mean.
You know, when William Shatner went up there,
he came back kind of. prophetic and appreciative
of the trip. He was the same way. Who were the
other broads that went up there with her? I know
Gayle King went with her. Jeff Bezos' wife. Up
in the flying penis. Fiance. I don't think they're
married yet. Why did he make his ship look like
that? I'm sorry. It does look like a... It's
a huge dildo. It does look like a giant dildo.
Like that scene from Austin Powers. When they
designed that, you don't think someone went...
Yeah. Can we do something about that? No, we're
going to spend a billion dollars and make it
look like a penis. Yeah, it looks bad. It's his
money. He can do what he wants. Oh, absolutely.
Did you hear that he was, I guess, the capsule
set down in the desert and he was running over
to it and he ate it? He fell down. Oh, did he
really? Yes. Oh, gosh. Yes. Whatever. So it was
Gail King, Katy Perry, Amanda Nugent. Who? Aisha
Bowen, Lauren Sanchez, and Carrie Ann Flynn.
I know two of those names. They are strapped
into the 3 .8 meter wide new shuttle capsule.
One of them was like a rocket scientist. They're
all obviously important people, but I don't know.
Was Katy Perry important? Right. It's a former
NASA scientist, Aisha Bow. Yeah. Okay, I get
that. Whatever, man. I'm happy for them. I would
do it if I could come up with the money. See,
and that's kind of what the social media was
tearing them up pretty bad. They were like, this
is a joyride for the ultra -rich. Oh, it is.
100%. It totally is. Yeah, you just own it and
just go, yeah, I can afford it, so I'm doing
it. That's right. This is space tourism, right?
Oh, yeah. We're going to be dead for one thing
before it becomes affordable for us, but it'll
eventually get there. Probably. At some point.
There's going to be enough companies doing it,
I guess. Look at the picture of that. It kind
of looks so unsafe and stable. It looks symbolic
of like the water rocket. You pump it up with
water, pressurize it. It looks just like that.
It's got like a itty -bitty little rock hole.
I think that's what they did. It's just water
pressure. That's where they can only go 62 miles.
So it doesn't go anywhere near as far as like
- It's near space or low space or whatever. Near
space. 62 miles. So how far do they go when they
go to the space station? How far is the space
station compared to 62 miles? 63. That last mile
is pretty significant then, I guess. I don't
know. Well, the moon is, what, hundreds of thousands
of miles away. Yes. I don't know, Chuck, how
many miles is the space station? The ISS. Compared.
I'm going to guess 130. I'm going to double it.
I'm going to guess 300. I'm going 300. 250. Oh.
Whatever, I win. I overbid. Damn it. I would
have bid one mile. So 62 miles versus 250 miles.
And that tells you why they need the multi -stage.
You know what I mean? All that kind of stuff.
Well, he just goes up with one rocket and it
detaches. Yes. He doesn't reuse his booster,
does he? I don't know. Does it just come crashing
back down? You got to get your boosters. I bet
you he does. Get your boosters. I bet you he
does reuse it. I don't know why I think that,
but. That would make it more affordable to do
this space tourism thing over and over again,
right? So I don't know. I hope he's looking it
up. Say hello to Duck AI. Oh, God. Everybody's
got AI these days. I know. Oh, boy. Ask anything.
Here we go. We're on Grok. I use Grok. Do you?
Yeah. I try to use that because it appears to
be the least. Yeah, it does. It lands vertically
after separating from the capsule. There you
go. Good. That was smart. You don't see pictures
of that one. You only see pictures of, well,
I think SpaceX is cooler because they catch it
in the midair. Yeah. Or on a ship. Or on a boat
platform, yeah. The ships are funny. Dude, the
first time I saw those come back and land, I
was just like, it blew me away. Now it's becoming
like routine. I get it. Yes, it's like, whatever.
I could do it. Oh, I could totally do it. Bitch.
Cool. All right. Well, that's some. So there's
three of them. We got Roberta Flack, Richard
Chamberlain, and Val Kilmer. Chamberlain. Chamberlain.
Sorry. Yes. Yep. Absolutely. But, you know, there
are some things that don't go well. I mean, how
about this chopper crash? That was horrifying
because it was three adults and three children.
Yes, a family. It was kind of a well -to -do
CIO or CEO of some company, wasn't it? Yeah,
they were in New York. See if you can find the
video of this. I've seen it. I haven't seen the
video. There's a video of it? Yes. Now, the propeller,
didn't it disengage? The top propeller disengaged,
and you see it spinning and flying to the ground,
and it crashes into the... Wow. And then the
next video is you see the helicopter body falling
upside down and it disappears. I'm not sure I
want to watch this. Well, that's a poor one.
That's like pieces of it falling off here. That's
the body of it. It's upside down. Oh, no. Lands
in the water? You can see the rails, the feet.
Oh, how horrific. They all died? Oh, they did.
Everybody. Everybody in that thing died. See
if you can see the propeller coming out. There
it is. That was the propeller. Started over.
Well, so we're multiple aerial shots of the helicopter.
Do you see the propeller get spun off, and then
the body of the helicopter really just kind of
falls. As a pilot, you're just like. That's it.
I have no control. I mean, it happened so fast,
too. It was probably just like... Well, the tail
end of the helicopter looked like it was gone.
Yeah, it did. It, like, broke off or something.
It may have. Well, it could probably... I have
no idea. Well, when that propeller went off,
it probably chopped it off. Yeah, probably. Well,
that, or it could have just turned so violently
that it broke. Yeah. Well, that's horrible. You
know, there's shit like that that's happening.
I'm surprised they didn't blame the Trump campaign.
They're looking for a way, I'm sure. And then
it was followed by a plane crash that had significant
people on it. I don't know anything about this
one. When did this happen? This happened the
next day, I think. Oh, really? Yeah, it was the
NCAA Woman of the Year. I forgot her name. And
there's some MIT people. And there we go. Her
name is Karina Groff, a former MIT soccer player
named... 2022 NCAA Woman of the Year died along
with six other people, like her boyfriend, her
parents, his parents, or something like that.
It was like a family trip or something. I don't
know. That's crazy. Yeah, it's just awful. You
never know, man. You just never know when it's
your time, and hopefully it's not. like that.
So the twin -engine Mitsubishi MU -2B went down
shortly after noon Saturday in a muddy field
in Copac, New York, near the Massachusetts line,
killing everyone on board, according to authorities,
and a family member who spoke to the Associated
Press. Shortly before the crash, a pilot had
radioed air traffic control. at Columbia County
Airport to say he had missed the initial approach
and requested a new approach plan. Officials
with the National Transportation Safety Board
said at a Sunday briefing, while preparing the
new coordinates, air traffic controllers attempted
to relay low -to -altitude three times with no
response. Right. And no distress was called from
the airplane. I hope they didn't run out of fuel
or something like that. Well, I mean, they probably
had that, just like Payne Stewart. Had the cabin
pressure go, and he just drifted. You know, they
all lost consciousness. Well, because they were
up high, right? They lost oxygen. Yeah. They
lost pressure. They just passed out. And if he
missed his approach, it doesn't sound like he
would have been that high. Yeah, that's what
I'm thinking. Who knows? Usually, if you miss
an approach or something, you do a... Yeah, you're
already in lower altitude. Yeah, you don't pull
up and go back up to 40 ,000 feet. So the plane
was carrying six members of the close -knit family
of physicians and distinguished student -athletes
that you already said. Yeah, they were high -powered
people, man. It's terrible. It is terrible. Well,
these little plane crashes you hear about every
now and then, but do you also remember a few
years ago where the lady here in Dallas ran into
the propeller? Yes. She just backed into it.
Yeah, she lived. Yes. But she was chewed up pretty
good. And she was just going on a joyride as
well. Not a joyride, but a sightseeing thing.
Christmas lights. Yeah. I mean, she was just
on a plane. I think it was down here in Addison.
It was a Christmas light excursion. And she just...
She just walked into it. Walked right into the
propeller. Or she backed into it. I think she
was standing there and she backed into it. I
don't know what happened, but... Like Indiana
Jones style? Yes. Yes. She lived, though. She
did. All right. All right. We need to discuss
our bourbon of the night. Oh, let's do it. Of
the opening salvo, anyway. I've got quite a bit
left, so now I can actually, you know, do the
nose and the palate again. Well, I have to tell
you what. I was very surprised when I saw he
made this because I don't like one of the others,
but this one here is not bad at all, at least
in my opinion. This is Hickory Hill. Cask Strength
bourbon. Is it from the? The Giant? From Giant.
That's what Chuck had up there. Sure is. And
I am not a fan of their Giant 95. It's like a
big old bottle of yeast cereal. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's the one we call Life Cereal, right? Yeah.
Hey, Paul, he likes it. But I tell you what,
the nose on this is very bready. It is. And I
was afraid that it was going to be like the Giant
95. Yep. But I'm pleasantly surprised at this.
There's some of that in this. There is. But it's
not overpowering like the other one, but there's
a lot of sweetness in this, too. This is actually
very sweet. What is the proof on this one? 107
or 113 or something. Very nice. It says 113.
Oh, dude, very nice. Small match, cast strength.
All right, let's see here. What did we get out
of this? I get the bread. I get the bread. I
do get the chocolate. It's palatable in this
because it's not overpowering it. I get it. Like
pepper. There's like cayenne pepper, and it lasts
a long time. And the finish. And the bread. I
get sweetness on the tip, on the tongue and the
lips. I do get some chocolate in there. It's
good. It's solid. It's got a nice lingering finish.
It doesn't die on you at all. Yeah, it lasts
a long time. I would say white pepper more than
anything. I do got the caramel. And it's not
very thick. I don't want to say it's easy to
drink, but it's definitely a sipping one. Oh,
yeah. It's something you savor. Yeah. I wouldn't
kick this out of bed. I kind of like this one.
Yeah, I like it too. I would enjoy it. Make me
a turkey sandwich. Stick around a while. Yeah.
Is this something that's readily available? I
don't even know when we got this. I'm having
a hard time finding it at all. Yeah, they may
not even make this anymore, it looks like. So
you picked it up at what distillery then? No,
this is one we've had. They sell this at Total
Wine. Yeah, this is one we've had. Well, it's
not on Total Wine right now. Interesting. But
we found it in Las Colinas. What does it say
on Only Drams? Is it rare? It's probably not
rare. Is it uncommon? Oh, it's already scanned
so we can look. Right, exactly. It should tell
us. Let's see. Only Drams. Which is a great app,
by the way. It is. We need to scan our new ones.
And so when we have our second one, we'll need
to scan it then. Yeah, it's funny. I was talking
to Larry Cuvion, and he, God bless, what did
he say? He says. Did you find anything interesting
at the estate sales lately? And I sent him back,
says, yeah, we picked up a Star Wars cookie cutter
on Friday. He says, you're such a nerd. And then
I sent him pictures of the podcast. He said,
let's get you scheduled. He says, I'm ready when
you are, big boy. I think I should stop being
a bum and I need to bring a bottle of bourbon
for the taste test. Trouble is you guys have
tried out about a million different bourbons
and whiskeys and I don't want. to get a duplicate.
Do you have a list of your burbs? So I sent him
the Drams list. He responds back, challenge accepted.
Very nice. So this is an uncommon. Uncommon.
Okay, well that's perfect. So it's a green one.
So it's not, well the top, well the easiest ones
are fine are the commons and then the uncommon
and then the rare, the unicorn and then the impossible.
We have zero impossibles. Of course. We do have
some unicorns, though. You've got to be filthy
rich and pay $4 ,000 for the bottle if you want
to eat an impossible. How much is it? Is it really
$200? Oh, okay. I was going to say it's not $200.
I would not pay $200 for this. Where is that
one at? That one's at $45. I'd pay that for this.
We did. Yeah. Wow, it got two stars. People don't
like it, apparently. It's got that taste. It's
different. A mildewy basement smell kind of taste
to it. Yeah, if you don't like that bread or
yeast. Kind of a really dark raisin, just kind
of a really muddled, I've been in a wine barrel
kind of taste, you know? Yeah. I mean, it's different.
I mean, we should appreciate different. I mean,
sometimes these things all taste the same. It
tastes like a pencil. I like, yeah, you know
what? I could see that, you know? There was a
time. that I may have had a pencil in my mouth
a little too long. Have you ever had those moments?
Oh, come on. Yeah, this is unique. This is not
for everyone, I don't think. Right. I don't know
if I say I like it, but... Hold on. This one
says, misses the mark three years ago. One might
think that a cast -string bourbon from Texas
should be a sure thing, but this particular one,
rough around the edges, even when used in a mixed
drink or on the rocks, it has been putting bitterness.
I pick up bitterness. Yeah, relegated to being
used for marinating sauces and general cooking.
Yeah, this is kind of like hit or miss on the
reviews. I would absolutely not mix this with
anything. I would not. Now that I see the word
bitterness, there is bitterness to this. Yeah,
there is. Yeah, a little bit. Yeah, I chalk that
to the muddles. I don't know. I'm kind of curious
about the species of oak. The one thing I like
about it is the sweetness out of it. Maybe that's
what I'm liking. The rest of it, I'm just kind
of meh. I don't mind it. I think the sweetness
is kind of coming from a floral, kind of botanical
kind of background. All right, so it's a 113,
you said? 113 proof? All right, let's rate it.
I'm going to go with 6 -3. I'm going to give
this a 5. Yeah, I'm 5 -2. I'll give it a 6 -3.
Yeah, I think it's solid. Yeah, you like the
bread flavor more than me anyway. I do. And I
give it a 5 because of the sweetness. And the
more I drank it, the more I... Yeah, it's just...
I want to give it a 4, but it's not that bad.
It can drink it. It's not that bad. I mean, I
could drink this. I mean, if someone were to
pour another glass, I'd be like, okay, well...
Exactly. I mean, I'll drink it. I would find
a choice. I mean, I would drink it over Williamsburg.
Old Williamsburg. Old Williamsburg. It's been
so long since we've even tried it. We have no
idea what that tastes like. It tastes like pina
colada. Does it? Because of coconut. Oh, coconut.
Overwhelmingly coconut. A little cherry on top.
Well, cool. All right. Well, that's our first
half bourbon. Not bad. Yeah. All right. You know
what? I'm looking at the board. You talked about
Riley Gaines and how she won something. Hold
on. Chuck said, are you longing to relive a moment
when you bit into a pencil too deep as a child,
tasted cheap processed wood? It does have that
taste. No. Yeah. And a medicinal. It includes
number two pencil. Number two. But he gave it
five stars. I guess if you like a pencil. He
gave it five stars because it brought back childhood
memories. Yeah, there you go. He's being a smartass
and skewing the stars. A must -buy for anyone
trying to give up whiskey. So I'm there, you
know, and when I first tasted it, I was like,
would I get this again? Maybe. And now I'm just
like, yeah, and I think this is the one I've
done for me. Well, yeah, I don't think we, I
mean, there's so many other bourbons that we
like. I'm not sure we would buy this one again,
but no. So, anyway. Yeah, I was talking about
Riley Gaines. You had said that she won something.
Yeah, you know what? I can't find anything. So
maybe that was just some bullshit. There was
something. Riley Gaines was nominated but did
not win. So I can't see anything. You know how
those little memes are. Clickbait. Yeah, I kind
of clicked on it and it said something. Because
they had a picture of Riley Gaines and it had
a picture of the soccer player with the pink
purple hair. Right. You know, the one. That was
kneeling for the - What the hell's her name?
I forgot her name already. I forgot her name.
Oh, Rapinoe. Yeah, Megan Rapinoe. Megan Rapinoe.
Rapinoe. Yeah. I'm glad she's gone. Me too. She
single -handedly totally brought women's soccer
down. It did. To nothing. 100%. Yeah. Well done.
Well done, Megan. I did see that the WNBA draft
is happening either tonight or this weekend.
Are you going to watch it? I wouldn't plan on
it, although there is a big name. I forgot her
name. Caitlyn Clark? Michelle Obama? Paige Buckner
or something like that? They're trying to rebuild
the thing so they're going to put Caitlyn Clark
back into the draft. Oh, yeah. She's going to
be in the draft every year. To drum up. Yeah,
just to make it exciting for everybody. Interesting.
Yeah. So that's that. They're trying to do the
same thing with Trump. Okay. Paige Breckner?
Breckers? Buckers? Buckers? Buckers? Dallas Wings.
Oh, so they've already been picked. Number one.
Okay, there we go. She's apparently really, really
good. She played for UConn. She's a cute girl.
Yeah, she's already posed. Nudes? No, no. I was
going to ask you guys how you guys feel about
this. All of them are posing for Sports Illustrated.
So the girl from LSU, the gymnast. Like their
swimsuit magazine? Oh, yeah. Man, I don't care.
I mean, if it's going to make them some coin
and it's tasteful, you know. They're 22, 23 -year
-old. They can do what they want. Yeah, I get
it. I mean, are they topless? No, no, of course
not. Are they wearing thongs? Well, I mean, some
of them. Bathing suits. I mean, as long as I
don't see lippage or kind of murkiny kind of
thing, you know. Of course, it's going to be
tasteful. That's my point. I mean, what the hell?
I mean, these women are women. They're young.
They're bright. In fact, even being in Sports
Illustrated, I think that's a good plan. In fact,
it makes them more germane to be in the Sports
Illustrated swimsuit thing than the other ones
because they have sports, you know, the models.
Those aren't sports people. They're just women.
Are they going to have any men this time? I think
a Dylan Mulvaney will dress up. You want him
in a... Well, I think they had a tranny in their
last bathing suit one. Oh, come on. Swimsuit
one. I don't care. I'm not buying it anyways.
It doesn't matter. I thought they discontinued
that. Well, I think magazines themselves are
just going down the crapper because people really
aren't buying magazines the way they should.
Well, I tell you what, because every now and
then you'll see something. I'll get a free magazine.
Hey, get this free magazine for a year or a few,
whatever. So I'll do it. Like I got a couple
years in a row, I got, I can't even remember
which one the hell it was. Was it like a bet
or a dare? No, it was. Like run across the airport
naked? Use your expiring American Airlines miles.
to get magazine subscriptions. I was like, okay,
I'll take this one, this one, and this one for
1 ,000 miles or whatever. And we'd get them,
and it was like 80 % ads. Drug ads were the biggest
ones, because drug ads are like two or three
pages long. Get your COVID shots and stuff like
that. You couldn't even buy the reading. Yeah,
so I looked through it. Rectal dysfunction. Yeah,
it's all these ads, and I was like, Where is
the actual content of this? It's very small.
It's not like the old school Playboy magazines
where there was actually some pretty good topics
in there. Yeah, that's a guy right there. It
is? Are you serious? Yes. Kim Petras? Petras.
Petras. That's a guy. Yeah. Wow. That was two
years ago, though. That sucks. Yeah. I guess
we live in a world where Instagram and they're
always taking provocative pictures of themselves.
It's just the culture we live in. I mean, it's
not distasteful, but I just... I go on Instagram
every day and I constantly hit not interested,
not interested, not interested. And they just
keep repopulating, repopulating, repopulating.
It seems like every young woman, I know it's
not true, but every young woman that's like...
If that has a nice body and looks nice, that's
like the first thing they do is... That's what
comes up. Oh, God. What are you showing? What
comes up on your... He pulls up and there's a
rhinoceros humping another one. Oh, lovely. That's
the first thing that comes up. 32 -inch little
thing. Top of the feed. So you got some safari
porn going on. Yeah. Well... The first thing
that comes up is that. Of course. Big old rhino
dick. And that... There's boobs everywhere. Yeah,
that's it. Yeah, that's crazy. Is that Dudes
Like Us account? Oh, jeez. Yeah, you got to go
in there and say not interested, not interested,
not interested. That obviously doesn't work if
you've been doing that. April 14th, it's the
first half of our Dudes Like Us podcast. We did
a pretty thorough one. We chalked off a pretty
good whiskey. I'm not too super excited about
it. I still had it. It's crazy. We're going to
have to finish this up. Thank you, Chuck, for
staying on point. We'll be back on the second
half for your time. We'll be back in a couple
seconds. Dudes, I'm Sean. I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff.
