Oh, my God, it's in both ears. Amazing. Until
your battery dies. Until my battery dies. But
that's not a podcast issue. That's my hearing
aid issue. Right. Well, well, well. We return
to the mics. Yeah. And apparently our podcast
schedule is getting to be too much for old man
Sean over there. He's now 55. He's struggling.
Yes. What are you talking about? You're like,
podcast already? I don't know if I can handle
this. See, he doesn't even understand. He's like,
what are you talking about? It's amazing how
they... It's like you have a birthday and it's
just like... I can't wait for us to quit our
regular jobs and do this full time. And be destitute.
And live in a box under the bridge for the other
10 months. It would give me great pleasure to
do this every single day. It would me too. Sit
there and get up. It makes you wonder how Joe
Rogan comes up with all the material that he
does. He does it every day. He just does research.
Well, he has a team working for him. Well, he's
smart, but he does have a team. And he reads
a lot. Yes. So he has to bone up on what he's
ever going to talk about. But he doesn't drink
alcohol, so we don't like him. Well, he just
started that process. We don't like him. And
you know what? Is that 100 %? That's what he
said on the podcast. And that may be something
he's proposing, but that's not, you know, just
because he proposes it doesn't mean he said the
deal. He said he did it. He stopped. He said
he did it. He stopped. He might be a closet drinker.
Whatever. We don't know. It could be one of those
things where, you know, just like everybody else
on the planet, maybe not everyone else, but,
you know, I'm going to have a drink once in a
blue moon. There are a lot of people out there
that say, I don't drink, but if I choose to drink,
I'm going to drink if I want to. But I just typically
don't drink. We go out, I won't have a drink.
You know, if two years pass and all of a sudden
I want a nice big fat whiskey, I'm going to drink
a nice big fat whiskey. Yeah. I don't think it
works that way. If you're saying that you don't
drink anymore, it's kind of like all or nothing.
Well, he's causing them. I'm calling it poison.
Why would I poison my body? It is poison. Yes,
it is. But it's extremely tasty poison. It's
a toxin, carcinogen, and poison. Everything bad
for us. Yeah. In moderation. Yeah, but there's
some people that say that's the opposite. They
say that a glass of wine a day keeps the doctor
away. That's right. I don't know. And I'll tell
you another thing. Furthermore, there was a time
in the earlier years where there was a lot of
mead and beer drinking going on, and it had nothing
to do with trying to get drunk. It had everything
to do with it was sterilized. Right. Because
the water was not clean. Correct. You go out
to the local river and grab yourself a nice fresh
drink. It's like the Ganges today. Yeah. Interesting.
It was used in like surgical surgical. Well,
they also use cocaine a lot during the surgery.
Happy late Easter, gentlemen. Yes. Yes. And it's
April 22nd. It's the first half of the podcast.
Thank you, Chuck. Bring on time. We got things
ramped up. We got. Our advent calendar opened
up. Oh, yeah, that's right. For those who don't
know what I'm talking about, Jeff took an excursion
out to the East Coast. The promised land. The
promised land and brought back just an assortment
of whiskeys. Hold on. It's not the East Coast.
It's Central Midwest. You done correcting me?
Yes. I'm just saying. Dudes like us, I'm Sean.
We don't like the East Coast. I'm Paul. I'm Jeff.
I was about to correct you. Except for New Jersey.
We don't. Well, whatever. That's God's land.
That's God's land. He went out to God's land
and... Oh, you're talking about New Jersey? Fuckers.
I love New Jersey. It's great out there. They're
so pretty. Everything on the East Coast is pretty.
I don't know why we dug it. Anyway. Yes. That's
because there's a crowded... Actually, there's
a bunch of Republicans out there. There really
are. Just like California. They're closeted.
Yeah. It's the city. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the
big, blue, urban, nasty city. I don't know, man.
I've got relatives that are just blue dog Democrats,
and they do nothing but post anti -Trump shit
nonstop on social media, and it's just like,
God bless. Yeah. I don't post. I didn't post
hardly anything during Biden's administration.
I just didn't. What's the point? Because I don't
care. I don't care. But I tell you what, these
guys on the other side do nothing but hate. Yes.
They do nothing but hate. By the way, it doesn't
matter which side you're on. You're not going
to win anybody over with your Facebook post or
your Instagram post. You're winning no one over.
You're just trolling. You're just looking for
someone to bitch. Yeah. To trigger someone. So
how about we all get off of social media and
do things that are like enjoyable in life. I
did that. I dropped social media in 2015. Good
for you. Because I was tired of it back then.
Yeah. On Facebook. I know. I tell you what, anybody
who does that like, you know, relentlessly, take
a break from it. Oh, yeah. See how you feel.
Take a break from it for 30 days and see how
your mental health is. Oh, yeah. I'm telling
you. Social media is not good for us. It's not.
Yeah, it's not. But, you know, actually, I'm
doing better and better. You know, I'm stuck
in those little, what do they call those little
spirals where you just do this? Doom scrolling.
Oh, dude, man. What do you call it? Doom scrolling?
Doom scrolling. That's what Steven called it.
He goes, yeah, I got caught. I was doom scrolling.
Death spiral. But, you know, I mean, like my
phone, once a week, it sends a report out. It
says, hey, you used your phone fucking two more
hours this week. Hey, this past week, it says,
hey. you've used your phone like six hours less
this week. Oh. And I was like, good for you.
Because you're using your iPad now for it. No,
I don't have any social media on the iPad. Zero.
I don't use it for any social media whatsoever.
No, that's good. It's unhealthy, you know. It
is. I know when you said before your CPAP, you
said you'd wake up and next thing you know, an
hour and a half, two hours ago, buying your,
that's what TikTok, you were still using it.
You turned 55, can't open bottles anymore. It's
so sad. I literally just had to open a bottle.
Really? Yeah. Oh, I was twisting the wrong thing?
No, you weren't. You're 55 now. It's not your
fault. It's arthritis in the fingers. Yeah. All
right, so we had an action kind of filled. I
think each of us had something going on this
past weekend. It was Easter weekend. It was Easter
weekend. Yes. And it started out with a bang
on Friday. It did. part of, well, we weren't
part of, but we attended an event at 1845 this
Friday. It was their first release of a five
-year single barrel. 1845, distillery in Lowry
Cross, Lowry, Lowry, such a weird word. Lowry.
Lowry. It's like Lowry salt. Same thing. Except
with an A and an O, not an A. Lowry. Jesus. Wow.
So, shout out to 1845, Lowry Crossing, Texas,
south of McKinney. So, we get out there, we plan
ahead, right? We did. We usually don't do a very
good job of that. I can't go out there because
I got school. And then Chuck weighed in and was
like, dude, no school on Friday. Yes, that's
like score. I'd be like, yeah, I can go now.
You were literally like a little kid. You were
like, oh, I can't go. Oh, yeah. It's like I heard
Fred Flintstone in the corner. And there's Chuck.
Chuck's like, I'm in Austin. Yes, yes. So we
get out there. And for one thing, the road. Right
now it's under construction. It needed a bad
because that road was terrible. It was. That
you turn off to Bridge Farmer Road, I believe
it is. And they had one lane open. I don't even
know how far it went that they were going one
way. It was a mess. And it took a while to get
out there because that road that you actually
turn to go east to get to Bridge Farmer is, that's
the only way I think people get to Princeton.
Yeah. So it's backed up, and then it was backed
up even more because of the turn lane. So we
finally get there. It's crazy. And we walk in
there, and of course, you know, we're having
fun meeting, you know, talking to June and Bob
and the family and stuff like that. And they
had this acapella group. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
The boys came in there. Yeah. Yeah. They were
tuning themselves, getting ready for the event.
It was kind of funny. They had the little tuner
harmonica thing. Yes. Yes. Anyway, that was interesting.
They had never done that before. Is that I know
of? They never performed before? No, no, no.
I'm saying the 1845 didn't have that at previous
single barrel releases. Yes. That was interesting.
So we got to sample the five -year, and I have
to say it was outstanding. It was good. It was
good. Now, did I notice a significant uptick
between that and their other single barrels?
Probably not. I mean, you wouldn't expect that,
really, for just one year. Well, we would need
to... uh ab though yes true you know just like
we did last week with the 13 year and seven was
a big difference there you're almost twice as
old yeah yeah that's high fidelity sounds good
sounds like the original recording from 1845
yes yes This is the actual. I guess you recorded
it on your phone, huh? No, he used a wax disc.
Yes. Using his Victrola. Wow. That sounded horrible.
But they were singing all these Texas songs.
Oh, classic. And you know that family is massively
into Texas history, so that was kind of cool.
Yeah. Anyway, it was a fun event. You see splashes
of, you see Jeff back there. I don't know if
you noticed that. Oh, my back in there? Yeah,
you were. It shows you for about like half a
second. I don't think it even showed Paul. Yeah,
I didn't make the cut. Oh, there I am. Oh, there
he is. I did not make the cut. I'm famous. So
it was the first five years, 59 months. And they
always do a single barrel on San Jacinto Day,
which is what? That's when Santa Ana defeated
the rebels. Incorrect. At the fort. At Coruscant?
Close. Yes, that's when the emperor became the
emperor. No, it's when Texas beat the Mexican
army. It was about 30, he said 30 or 45 days
after the Battle of the Alamo or something like
that. That was their redemption. It was the final
battle of the Texas Revolution. Yeah, that's
when they became a country into themselves, and
then shortly thereafter they became a state.
Yes. That's like my T -shirt, make Texas a country
again. There you go. So we were a country for
a short time. And then they had a toast. They
got up and spoke. Bob spoke for a little bit.
June spoke for a little bit. And Miguel. And
Miguel got up and he actually did the toast himself.
Yeah, he did the toast. He kind of went over
the tasting notes of it. And by the way, I bought
18 bottles. No, I bought one bottle. One bottle.
Well, I just swapped for one bottle. Yeah. Because
they ran out. They did. Yeah, I got lucky because
I went out there and my wife was bugging me.
Did you go out there and get your bottle yet?
Did you go out there and get your bottle? I was
like, I haven't done it yet. I haven't done it
yet. And so I went out there the day of. I was
like, all right, I need to get it. Sold out.
Someone bought the last one. It's funny you say
that because I walked in and June goes, you bought
the last bottle online. I was like, really? Yes.
Fucking Jeff. So you really tried to buy a bottle
and it was sold out? Yep, it said sold out. It
said because of Paul. Paul. And I'm not sharing
it. So we get in there. As soon as we get in
there, my wife was working it already. She goes,
do you have any? We want to buy one. She's like,
we have six bottles left. So I was like, we'll
take one. And they give you one? Well, they didn't
give it. I bought it, yes. They had six up there,
so then we had five. I had to bust my ass buying
the last one online. He just walks in and they
hand him one. And just gallivanted on in there.
Ridiculous. They just presented it to me. No.
I had to ask, and I bought it. Nice. I'm glad
we were able to sample it as well, because it's
good. Just like all their stuff, it's good. It
is good. Well, they actually, look, they have
more bottles. Yes. Well, they're holding them
back. Oh, yeah. They've got several cases. You've
got to be worthy, though. Yeah. So if we really
want one, we're going to get one. I don't know
if they have several cases. They do. Yeah, absolutely.
Were you sneaking around back there? No, June
says they have like 10 cases, 12 cases of everything
backed up. Yeah, they keep extras. They're holding
them for special stuff. I mean, they've got double
oak back there. They've got a bunch of stuff.
All right, cool. And I bought their Longhorn
wine. Yeah. That was really well -received. Yeah.
I took it to, you know, I guess I took it to
a, you know, we went to an event. Well, not an
event, but Easter dinner. We'll talk about that
in a second. Yeah, and I brought that, and they
really liked it. Well, good. Yeah, we... Julie
got a couple of whites, the Chardonnay. I think
Shelly liked the Chardonnay, so you got a Chardonnay.
No, she did. I bought a bottle of it. Yeah, we
bought a Chardonnay, and they're camo white,
I believe, is what Julie got. Yeah, we haven't
opened that yet, but Shelly really liked it.
So afterwards, we all, because we were about
6 .30 is when the event, well, it went until
7. Pretty early. Yeah, so about 6 .30, we made
reservations at, what's it named, Crew? CRU.
C -R -U, CRU. CRU, a wine bar. Been wanting to
get Paul and his wife, Shelly, to a wine bar.
Yeah, try some wine. Get them to be winos with
us. So we went there, and I thought it was really,
really good. Tara was able to join us. My wife
was there. Chuck wasn't there. He was down there
looking at boob shelves. We'll talk about that
later, too. The Sherwood of Austin. Hello, lady.
Hello, my lord. How do you see my brass? Yes,
my beer's sitting on it. That one you said, you
could definitely put a keg on that. And it was
good. We had a lot of good wine. I know, Paul,
that one you had, you're like, I don't like this.
But then you went back to it, you did like it.
The Zinfandel. The Zinfandel. The darker red
Zinfandel. Yeah, you guys are giving me a hard
time because when I finished the flight, he started
bringing me samples of things to drink, and I
was like, oh. Somehow I channeled my wine sommelier.
I was like, oh, this one just dies on the finish.
Bring me something else. And he brings another
one. I was like, oh, it's a little more flavorful,
a little rich, but not what I'm looking for.
And then finally he brings, what, the Napa. He
brought a Napa wine that was perfect. Right.
And then he was like, yeah, he's already graduated
to the more expensive wines. Who said that? I
think you said that. Yeah, I said that. I was
like, wow. Yeah, great. We skipped right over
Strawberry Hill. Yeah, it was fun. I really enjoyed
it. And the wines are pretty good. Yeah. And
the price wasn't too horrible. No, it wasn't.
I mean, it was $15 for a flight -ish. Yeah, for
a flight. Yeah, I think that's about average.
There's one that's a little more. There's one
a little bit less. Right. So, obviously, the
more expensive the wine, the more they are. And
then when they pour a glass, they pour quite
a bit in there, man. Yeah. So, I mean, it seems
like a pretty good deal. I remember sipping on
that wine all night. Oh, yeah. That big glass
they gave me. Yeah. The thing with wine is that
I like is you can sit back and visit like we
did, and we're not slamming mixed drinks or throwing
up on each other. Yes. The one thing I can do
is I get a pretty nasty headache if I get pretty
toasty on wine. Really? Yeah, wine will do that
to me. Sure. Yeah, it's always important to have
a nice big old bottle of San Pellegrino sitting
at your table. He did bring like a big gallon
out for you, didn't he? It was bigger than that
bottle, I thought. Yeah, I was impressed. I was
like, oh, it's bigger than mine usually. It's
like a bottle envy, man. I know. It was a fun
experience, though. I enjoyed it. We should do
it again. Yep, yep, we need to. There's a couple
of, I like Crew, there's a couple of other wine
bars around that we can frequent as well. Yeah,
of course, that one's Tara's favorite. It was.
True. We learned that immediately. She came in
hot. Yeah. Who picked this place? This place
sucks. The food sucks. The wine sucks. Anyway,
it was pretty funny. She softened up pretty quickly,
though. She had a couple glasses. She had a couple
glasses, and she was like, hey, this place is
not so bad. I even warned you guys. I was like,
this is not going to be good. She had a rough
start to the day, I guess, but she did good.
She did good. It's tax season. I think that explains
it. It does. Yeah, we'll go with that. Tax. Sounds
like it's tax season all year. Yeah, she does
taxes all year round, guys. Just not this year,
not just this quarter. But the night was fun.
I mean, we had a good time. We enjoyed it. We
were out pretty late. The wine was perfect. The
food was actually pretty good. I was, I don't
want to say disappointed. I wanted a larger dessert.
Yeah, that thing kind of turned into a, you should
have seen the look on your face. Yeah, you're
right. I guess Tara said, you can have the, or
you put it in front of you, and Tara's was like
twice as large. The look on your face was like.
Like a little child. And then it got moved away
from you. You were like, okay, this is for everyone.
You're like, no, no, no, no, it isn't. No, no,
no, no. No, no, no. I immediately took it back.
I was like, no, it's not. This is mine. You started
to panic. Yeah. It was like, you know how when
we got the kids together when they were like
two years old? Mine! Mine! That's exactly what
Sean turned into. It got ugly in a hurry. Yeah,
and then Julie commandeered my other piece of
cake. That's what she did. Yeah, she was. I was
like, yeah, that costs 80 bucks. She had a fork
stuck in her hand. Yeah, she came home. I had
to bandage that up. It was good. It was perfect.
I enjoyed it. The cakes were nice. I mean, again,
the food was really great. It was elegant. I
just wish the portions were a little bit bigger.
You know, just a little bit bigger. It's more
designed for smaller, petite people, I guess.
Jerks. You want a dessert buffet at the wine
bar? I'm not talking about just the desserts.
Everything was small. Yeah. You know? Yeah. It
was good. I enjoyed it. Yeah, we'll go back.
Yeah. For sure. What else happened on the weekend?
What was Saturday? I can't even remember what
Saturday was. I don't think Saturday, we didn't
do anything. At least, Julie and I didn't do
anything. I think we watched TV all night. I
think we just bailed. I'm not sure what we did.
Chuck, you were out of town, right? Right. I
was in Austin. You went to Sherwood, right? It
is called... It's called Wilshire? Yeah, Sherwood
Forest, yeah. Sherwood, okay. It's out east of
Austin in a forest. Hold on. I want to make sure
he's recording. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm good. You're
hot? You have a hot mic? I'm hot. Well, last
week you... Yeah, well, on Saturday we watched,
since we're going into Easter, Julie wanted to
watch Jesus Christ Superstar. Jesus Christ, who
are you? What have you sacrificed? There you
go. I've never seen that. We watched the thing,
the one from 73. 1973 is when it came out. Oh,
the original. Yeah, the original. Okay. The original
movie. It's based on a play, right? It's a musical
by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Okay. And music is great.
The music is really good. I think the movie is
quite dated because it's a bunch of hippies.
Okay. Right? acting out the last days of Jesus
Christ, right? And singing at the same time and
dancing 70s style. Oh, is that the Jesus Christ
Superstar? Yes. The last days of Jesus weren't
like... They weren't frolicking in the streets.
It was like Good Friday. It's a very somber day.
So did they cover that part? Obviously not. Yeah,
Good Friday was on there. and his crucifixion,
Judas killing himself, a whole nine yards. It's
not a happy thing. No. But it's a musical, and
it's very, I suggest you watch it. But it's not
mocking Christianity, right? No. At all? Not
at all. Okay, okay. I always kind of thought
it was making light of it. No, no, it's not a
comedy. It's not anything. It's a musical. Okay,
good. No one's laughing and shit like that. Okay,
good. So it's just a musical. They write music
about it, and it's good music, right? Yeah. Yeah,
yeah, it was good. I ended up working most of
the day. Yeah. I really did. On Saturday, I forget,
Preston came into town on Friday, or Saturday,
and actually came into town on Friday, and he
basically spent the whole weekend with his friends.
Yeah. I was a little salty on that. You know,
it's just like, dude. Well, that's right. They
came over to your place and left your place like
at 530. Sunday morning. But that's what they
do. That's okay about that. But it was just like,
you know, they went to go play golf. I mean,
he went to go to the gym. He went to go play
golf. And then he goes out. And then on Easter,
you know, Wes comes over. And this is going to
stop. This isn't happening again. If Wes wants
to go and play golf during this Easter. then
he could take his sons out and go play golf.
Yeah, that's family time. Yeah, but the fact
that he pulled my son away in the middle of Easter
and I didn't really get to see him, I was not
happy about that program. I bet. You know, and
then, you know. I wouldn't have been happy either.
So, you know, that's not happening again. But
anyways, so, you know, and then after that, so
Preston comes back for a short while and then
he fucking heads over to your house to eat lasagna.
Yeah, he did come over for a little bit. And
I was like, what the fuck is going on? Yeah.
You know, I'm not going to lie. That's kind of
what my oldest does. Whenever he, you know, we
don't see him for weeks at a time, right? Because
he lives in Dallas, right? And when he comes
up, he's like, I'm going to come spend time with
you guys. And I was like, oh, that's cool. And
then we miss you. Well, no. Usually he comes
up and he kind of sits around, you know, and
he's kind of like, you know. And we just kind
of sit there quietly kind of chatting and stuff.
And then he'll get a text and be like, yeah,
we're going to go to the, you know, rail yard.
Or I'm going to meet them at Sidecar. Right.
And that's okay. I don't care about that. But
Preston was like literally gone the whole time.
I was like, look, at least you can do is bring
back some lasagna. Didn't bring the shit back.
Really? Oh, dude. I was like, dude, he came back
empty handed. I was like, all right. Yeah. You
cut me deep. So that's really what the problem
was. Well, they make good lasagna. No lasagna.
Yeah. Julie makes it. And I had the homemade
sausage in it as well. Oh, that's right. You
and your homemade sausage. Yeah. It was Steven's
birthday. That's why. Preston came over. Oh,
okay. Shit, I didn't even know that. It was Stephen's
birthday? Yeah, the 20th. Yeah. Oh, how did I
not know that? We talked about it in the last
podcast. We did? April 20th, Marijuana Day? Yeah,
Marijuana Day, Hitler's birthday. I didn't know
it was either of those days either. Well, I don't
know if it truly is, but that's the kids at school
use to tease him. That's what they always say.
It's Hitler's birthday. That's crazy. I never
even looked it up to verify that. Yeah. So I
don't know if it's true or not. So what else
happened? Pope Francis died. Did he die on Easter
or the day after? The day after Easter. That's
crazy, isn't it? And the last person to actually
officially meet him was Vance. Isn't that crazy?
Hitler was born on April 20th. So it was April
20th for Hitler. 1889. That was a long time ago.
That was a long time ago. Yeah, the fact there
was some sort of interview with whoever. Is it
Argentina where he kind of decked out too? Where
did... Adolf Hitler run off to after the war.
The boys of Argentina or whatever. I don't think
he did. What do you mean? Historically, that's
what they claim, but it turns out that the person
that had euthanized themselves, shot themselves
in the head, was actually a female body. That's
in the books. What books? Jeff, you can Google
it. Uh -oh, we have TikTok conspiracy. Yes. No,
this isn't TikTok. This is not at all. In fact,
this was on the news. I've never heard this before.
Yeah, so this was, he basically got on a plane,
got on a boat, and they went to Argentina. There's
a huge community of German people in Argentina.
You guys know that, right? Yeah, yeah, we do
know that. I'm talking Hitler specifically. Well,
Hitler specifically lived in Argentina for what
they're claiming he lived in Argentina reportedly,
allegedly, for another two decades after that.
I don't believe that. Well, I mean, it doesn't
matter whether, I mean, who knows? Who knows?
I don't personally believe that. Whether you
believe it or not, it doesn't matter. The fact
is that the story is out there. That he did.
And whether it's, you know. I do know that they've
arrested, they have definitely arrested former
Nazi war criminals in Argentina. That I know
for a fact. And there's plenty of details that
provide support, but nothing is conclusive. Nothing
is ever conclusive. Well, that right there says
it's impossible. Oh, it does. Is that one? Grok
says it is? Yes, Grok. So therefore, it's impossible.
But you can read some other stuff that says it
is. So it goes both ways. Conspiracy theories
persist due to public fascination and distrust
of official narratives. Where does it say it's
impossible? Like the COVID vaccine? We've never
believed that. Like our food pyramid? Hold on.
I want to see the part where it says it's impossible.
Where does it say that? It says implausible.
Implausible. All right, look, look, look. Doesn't
matter. I don't care at the end of the day, but
the buzz is that it did happen, and they have
a very supportive story that goes along with
it and how it exactly happened. And there was
just a whole, you know, from the planes, and
they even have a guy that wrote a book. and how
he was at a barn, and this car pulls up, and
two guys are in it, and they hop in a plane,
and one of the guys helps Hitler get into the
plane, and the guy's just standing there watching
him, and then the plane flies off. Interesting.
Who knows? I don't know. All he would have to
do is shave off the mustache, and no one would
possibly recognize him. Just shave his head.
go bald i don't know but it was an interesting
story and i'm kind of curious but the president
of argentina said he's going to release all that
information because there was some hubbub about
it where they gave the the country of argentina
an incredible amount of wealth because you know
the the german folks back then uh the they stole
everything they they had so much and they just
jam -packed it all in those boats and took it
over there and there's a just a So you're saying
there's a lot of European artifacts and shit
hidden in Argentina? I don't know. I don't know.
Nobody knows. What is the president's name? Malik?
Malou or something. Malou. I love that guy. I
haven't heard much from him in a while. Ever
since he did his... I really like that guy. Malay.
I think it's Malay. Yeah, Malay, Malou, whatever.
Yeah, but Easter... It's M -I -L -E -I or whatever.
Easter was pretty funny with the... I'll tell
you, Trump is... I love his policies, but every
time I hear him talk now, he's getting on my
fucking nerves. Trump is? I can't stand. Too
much Trump coverage? Dude, it's just like, dude,
just don't talk. I want you to have a punch list
of things to talk about. I don't want you to
ad lib. Just say what you're going to say and
then get the fuck off there. It's just like he's
talking about the bunny. You know, the rabbits
out there. Yeah, Biden got the bunny. Yeah, Biden
was taken down by the bunny last year. Look at
the bunny. Look at this guy. This is the Easter
celebration at the White House, you're saying?
Yeah. Well, look. I mean, he's been in office,
what, three months? He had four years of putting
up with Biden. Yes, he did. You got to give him
a little bit of talk and smack. And I'm all right.
I'm okay with him talking smack. It's not him
talking smack. It's his... Delivery. It's...
Everything about how every time he talks, it's
not a conversation. It's not a normal conversation.
And that's the part that bugs me. But you know
what trips me out? That I kind of heard someone
coin it on TV or something. I think it was on
Fox News. Biden had hired a white rabbit. Yes.
And Trump hired a tan one. And I don't hear any
of the people from DEI applauding Trump for hiring
a brown rabbit. Oh, God. Here we go. DEI, rabbit
DEI. I'm just saying, you know, they say that
Trump is the racist, but, you know, he's the
one that hired a brown rabbit. I really do wish
he would stop talking about Biden. It would give
him so much more power to just, like, pretend
like he's not living. Yeah, because it's almost
like he's living rent -free in Trump's head.
He's constantly dogging. biden and how bad his
administration was i was like move on don't you
have to do it while he's still alive i mean give
it gives you more power to make it seem like
he doesn't matter because it wasn't really biden
Biden was nothing, and we're learning that more
and more every single day. And frankly, they
need to just focus on how much it wasn't Biden,
on the fact that he had the auto sign, and he
wasn't doing it. The question is, who was? Yeah,
who was actually running this company? Who was?
I think a lot of it was his wife. I think so,
too. I think it's the same person who did this
Photoshop of him on Easter. I think. Yes. I think.
Oh, here it is. Oh, my God. Oh, that's so bad.
So bad, isn't it? It's like he's kneeling in
a suit. No, there's a hole in the stairs and
he's standing. Standing in the hole or something.
OK, what we're looking at here is the Easter
picture of the Biden family. And Biden is clearly
Joe Biden is clearly Photoshop into it. And it's
not. Not good. Not a good Photoshop. No. It's
with the grandkids. I'm sorry, it's the grandkids
and Jill. I see Jill. But not Navy. That is horrible.
For one thing, the size is incorrect. No, it
isn't. And he's got that look on his face like
he's cutting a toot. Yes. How is he standing?
I don't know. I don't know. It's like he's kneeling.
It's so bad. But you know what this does? This
is like conspiracy stuff. You know, it's like,
is he alive? Was he taking a nap? I mean, like,
what the hell, man? Was he hanging out with the
Pope? Yeah, right? They're both drinking out
of the same glass. Is he holding up a newspaper
by any chance? I don't get it. So we talk about,
you know, who's running the country. And, you
know, I've got some things to say about who's
running the country. Who was, yeah. No, who is,
even right now. I mean, Trump is obviously the
president, but there's this ether going on back
there just pushing narratives. Regardless who's
in the offices, there's an ether out there that's
pushing these things going on. And one of them
is our education system. The education system
is... at least for the last 30, 40, 50 years,
is getting worse, worse, and worse. And they're
trying not only to dumb us down, but they're
trying to kill the family life. They're trying
to kill the family structure. The nuclear family.
Yeah, they're trying to, it's just, you know,
and the Supreme Court had a hearing about talking
about transgender books. And just the different,
it's like none of that stuff, they're trying
to take the control away from the parents. It
wasn't necessarily, It centered around the transgender,
and it was in Maryland. And what it was is Maryland
revoked a rule that allowed the parents to opt
their child out of a lesson regarding those books
or any book that they deemed, this is not within
my family morals, right, or ethics. So Maryland
removed the parents' ability to say, yeah, my
child's not going to take that lesson. Unreal.
So that's wrong. Yeah, so it went all the way
to the Supreme Court. And it was heard by the
Supreme Court today, I think. It was. And Kagan,
she kind of, they're alluding that it's not going
to pass the Supreme Court and that they're going
to shoot it down. But the problem isn't necessarily
that. The problem is that the lower courts sided
with the teacher unions. Correct. You know, the
federal appeals court, the parents, you know,
it's ridiculous. That's insane. Parents, they
should have the right and the authority to prevent
state schools from imposing shit on their kids.
You know, so remember the attitude of the left
that they have on kids is that they're not your
kids. They're the state's kids. Yeah, that's
nonsense. You realize that, right? Yeah. That's
part of it. Once they leave your house and enter
my school. The education system. They're mine.
That's right. And I get to do whatever I want.
That's how they think. That's how they think.
And they're trying to prepare them for their
utopian. You know what I mean? Give them the
mindset. They're trying to drill in the mindset
and brainwash the mindset that works for their
view of... That was developed back in the 30s.
Right. 1934. The Carnegie Corporation came up
with that book that is no longer available that
suggests that... Kids, they don't want to have
a group of thinkers out there. They want to have
a group of workers. Followers. They're going
to change the whole system. And it didn't catch
on right away. It's smart. If you shape their
brains early to accept government to be a certain
role. That's my whole bag about talking about
this hidden ether. Because I don't know what's
really going on. Nobody really knows what's going
on. And even if we think we do, we don't really
know. There's this hidden thing that is pushing
buttons. Just the fact that how Trump almost
got assassinated. You just think about how Trump
had 96, what is it called? He had 96 sessions
out there in front of the people, speeches, events.
And only one of them was covered by CNN. He had
96 in a year. CNN covers one, and he was shot
at that one. It just seems suspect. Like there's
something pushing buttons out there. Can I give
you some context? Yeah, sure. Yeah, so he was
set to announce J .D. Vance as his vice president.
That's why CNN was there. At the Butler rally
specifically, and then he delayed that, but they
stayed out there. Was that what it was? Yes.
That's the story, right? Well, that got debunked,
but it's still, you know, it's still, there's
something going on out there that I just don't
trust people. It's the new world order. I think
a lot of it is the Democrats and the liberals
specifically have control of many key aspects
of the U .S., the education, the entertainment,
the news. News is a big one. You know, they've
got their hold in a lot of this. The bureaucratic
government itself is full of these people. Yeah,
and they're able to shape perception. They're
able to shape all these things and drive this
narrative. Correct. That make all of us think
that it's the norm and, you know, that's the
way it is. It is. So they control all this stuff,
and it's a matter of... We need to grab control
of some of that back. Yes. And we are. We're
starting to. And, you know, with Trump withholding
funds from these, at least the Ivy Leagues, right?
Elite schools, yeah. They're trying to change
that. I don't know what it's going to take. See,
I'm not interested. I think it might. I don't
really, control isn't, I don't care who has control
of it. I just want transparency. I want them
to tell the truth. You know, call a spade a spade.
If you don't like something, just say you don't
like it. Let the people vote for it. But you
don't need this. We don't get to vote for the
colleges, though. That's the thing. You go to
college to get taught and you're taught all this
crazy bullshit. Yeah. So you're paying and you're
getting this bullshit degree in education out
of it. Yeah. So the challenge is, are they deliberately,
knowingly, in an evil way? shaping their minds
knowing that they're lying? Absolutely. Or do
they... believe this to their core. I think a
lot of them believe it. Yes, they believe it
to their core and they're doing the noble thing
by saving these children and teaching them what
really the right way to live and the right way
to view the world is. I think they believe it.
There's steps pushing back. Well, there are socialists
and progressives and communists all in these
higher education. And they truly believe it.
Correct. This is not a conspiracy in my mind.
Not a conspiracy to take over. the world and
and you know make these people their minions
no they believe it they believe this is the best
thing but and they control like i said all these
key facets of life that we are exposed to right
and we need to grab some of that back yes and
you know if we want to turn the ship around we
need to get the education system cleaned up for
sure up top to bottom for sure you know these
kids that go away to college you know are or
brainwashed these days. You know what's amazing
is that Oprah Winfrey on The View actually agreed
with what you just said. Whoopi. What did I say?
You said Oprah. Whoopi Goldberg. Oprah Goldberg.
Is that what I said really? Whoopi. She said
that she actually agreed. She didn't say I agree
with Trump. What she said was that I agree that
the education system needs to be shaken up. No,
no, no. She said she was okay with the Department
of Education being shut down. That was even more
along your lines. Yeah. Well, I mean. That's
huge. Yeah, it is huge. And then as soon as they
did, she looked to the side and they said commercial
break. She goes, oh, I guess we're going to a
commercial break. Was that a coincidence? I don't
know. I don't know. You know, she's getting paid.
I mean, she got a big paycheck from the. NGO
company. What is that subgroup called? Non -governmental
organization. Yeah, but what is the company that
was feeding them? Oh, I don't know. Yeah, USAID.
Oh, USAID. USAID fed an NGO company that paid
Whoopi Goldberg some cash, like $6 million or
something like that. It doesn't matter. Again,
it's the whole narrative thing, the whole ether.
We're not going to talk about certain things
or we're going to shut you down. By the way,
Whoopi seems like she's lost a lot of weight.
She either has cancer or she's taking life serious.
She's got a thumb stomach. You think she's having
health issues, you think? I'm just saying she's
lost a tremendous amount of weight. Oh, she's
taken the... Could be the Ozempic. I don't know.
She's taken the shot. I don't know. Yeah. I don't
think that's good for you. I really don't. Oh,
it's not. Yeah. So there's a... This will be
a quick in and out, but there's a bizarre skull
-shaped feature found on the Mars. On the Mars.
On the Mars. On Mars. But it turns out it's nothing,
but it was kind of interesting. I was scrolling
past these different topics, and the rock formation
shaped. Oh, the face. Yeah, that's been out there
for a while. This one was a different one. This
one's a different one. You said on Mars? Correct.
Yeah, there's a face on Mars that I've seen many
times. This is a new one, huh? That's years old,
yeah. Yeah. Oh, look at that. Oh, yeah. I saw
a vagina. Go back to that. What was that? There
was a vagina. Yeah, that's what I've seen right
there. Yeah. And it's just a shadow thing. Yeah,
it is. They show different parts of the day.
But it's just funny. Your brain sees what it
wants to see, and your brain actually kind of,
what is that? Is that the one? No, there was
another one. Smiley face. Shit. Even like Neil
deGrasse Tyson was talking about the different
things that they find on Mars. Like there was
a perfect rectangle. He is an idiot. Have you
ever seen him try to argue why boys should play
in girls' sports? Who did? Why? Well, he's an
idiot. He's argued with it with Bill Maher. Bill
Maher was against it. And was it Charlie Kirk?
Going back and forth. And, you know, how could
you be a scientist and say it's the same thing?
Right. Well, his argument was stupid. I'm like,
you should be smarter than this. You know, you're
supposed to be the smartest person in the world,
right? Neil. And he's not. No. Well, he can be
smart and ignorant, you know. He is smart. Well,
he was trying to go about it the science way,
and I was like, no, that doesn't work. You're
wrong. Anyway. Interesting. Was he referring
to elementary school? No, all the way through.
Because it's absolutely different. You've got
the presidential fitness test that you take.
Correct. Even in elementary school, they have
separate guidelines for the boys and the girls.
Girls don't do full push -ups. They don't do
pull -ups. You know, the girls have the bar.
They pull themselves up on the pull -up bar and
they see how long they can hold it. And guys
do actually do pull -ups. Did you see where Hegseth
went back to one standard test to get into the
military? Really? Yeah. He goes, there are no
longer two tests. He goes, I'm not excluding
women. If you pass the test, you're in. Amen.
Absolutely. Yeah. It is a safety issue. But we
are not lowering. This is for the combat. Yeah,
combat roles. Combat roles. If you have to carry
someone across, you know, while you're being
a sniper shooting at your feet, you've got to
be able to move quickly and carry 260 pounds.
Yep. So he's like, yeah, we're not going to lower
our expectations so we can admit somebody. We
are putting it back, and whoever can pass this,
you know, welcome. Lowering the standards puts
lives at risk. Correct. I know I sound like,
what's his name? In Few Good Men. Right. Colonel
Jessup? Jack Nicholson. Funny. That was a great
scene. Oh, great scene. It was a good movie,
actually. He was only in three scenes in that
movie. You know that? I saw that online. Is he
really? Like 14 minutes of screen time. But he's
the reason you remember it. He's so good in that
movie, though. Yeah, he's good. I wonder what
he's doing these days. Is he still alive? Yeah.
Jack Nicholson? I think so. Has he just retired,
living life? Yeah, he's probably super old looking.
I wonder what he looks like. Maybe he's just
got crazy hair. Hopefully he doesn't look anything
like Gene Hackman right now. He probably looks
like Randy Quaid. Well, Gene is Skeletor right
now. You think he looks like Pelosi? Anyway,
Pelosi. Okay, he's bringing up a recent shot
of Nicholson. We'll see. I think he still goes
to Laker games, doesn't he? Jack Dillon's currently
retired from acting, living a private life in
Beverly Hills. He's 88. 88. He's been seen occasionally
in public, including basketball games. Enjoy
spending time with his family, particularly daughters.
Oh, yeah. He's a multimillionaire. He's a multimillionaire.
Enjoy it. That's why I don't understand. Damn.
Some of these people, you're just like, dude,
retire. Enjoy life. Yes. 100%. These politicians.
Get out of it. Joe Biden, you should have retired
when you became... When you got your first 10
billion. Yeah. Just retire. Enjoy life. Go spend
your time on the beach, man. I'm just glad he
never did anything woke like what's -his -name
did, like Robert De Niro. That makes me despise
him. He never did anything stupid like that,
did he? He never got political. Not that I could
think of. But he was out of the scene, I think,
before a lot of that started. Sure, before it
got popular. Before woke was like an obligation
for Hollywood. Or he may have back in the day.
It's just back then it just... went over your
head. You didn't pay attention to it. Now it's
whatever. Now you see it where it's not really
there sometimes. Sure. You know. So you guys
were talking about walls. What's the story with
his staffer? His staffer did something? His staffer
created, caused like $5 ,000 or $6 ,000 worth
of damage on the Tesla. Went up and keyed the
shit out of it. Oh, okay. He didn't like firebomb
a dealership. It was way more than that. Because
he did multiple cars. But here's the thing. You
got to use the word alleged. There's video of
him doing it. But it's alleged. You don't know
if he used his finger. to, right, clean me or,
you know. Is that what the lawyers are saying?
Yeah, I mean, for podcasting purposes, we don't
know. He allegedly damaged his car because you
clearly see him going up there. He could have
had a stroke and just kind of leaned over with
his keys. No. You don't know what he's doing.
Well, you see something in his hand. Yeah. Again,
you know what? That's just what they were. We
were watching something. I think it was the 5.
Over and over and over again. Right there. Oh,
dude, dude. Yeah, that was pretty. That's not
alleged. That's not alleged. He's clearly cleaning.
Right there. He's clearly cleaning. Cleaning.
Cleaning. Me. Cleaning the cars. Cleaning me.
Whatever, man. You know, these guys are knuckleheads.
Did he get fired? Over $20 ,000. Yeah, he got
fired. He got fired. Oh, my God. Yeah, these
Teslas have what they call the century mode that
records your surroundings. These Teslas have
more cameras than Paul's private game room. Oh.
That's a lot. Yeah, I didn't even know there
were cameras in there. Did you put them in there?
Are you kidding me? You're the one that showed
me. By the way, Sean, I saw you drinking this
bottle. I wondered how you figured that out.
So you know what's sad about this whole Tesla
thing? I think most of the people who drive Teslas
are not right -wing Republicans. I know they're
doing it because they hate Elon, but they're
really kind of just hurting their own. Aren't
they? A little bit? Well, I think it points out
the hypocrisy of the whole climate change movement.
If you're going to go out and demonize the one
guy who's done the most... In terms of electric
cars, yeah. In most, to benefit the environment,
you're going to say, he's a piece of shit, don't
buy their cars, and you're burning them. It means
you stand for nothing. I think it shoots to hell
that the climate change argument is gone. Or
that they're really principled at all on anything.
Yeah, I don't think, it's not a real thing, because
if it was, you would have been doing this. Right.
You know, you've been like, come on now, let's
not do this, because this is actually a good
thing. We can hate the policies, but, you know,
No, they completely flipped the script, and they're
like, destroy it. It basically just proves that
they're deranged. Yeah. I mean, they're just
deranged. Unbelievable. He'll face no criminal
charges? Okay. This is in Minnesota, I'm assuming.
Minnesota, right. Of course. Minnesota. No criminal
charges. Well, I wonder how all those owners,
Tesla owners, feel about it. Well, the insurance
companies. Yeah, all you got to do is take dental
floss and just rip that logo right off. Wow.
It's very upsetting. Anyway, you know what really
grinds my gears? Oh, boy. Yes. What's that, Sean?
I got to tell you what. This will be short in
and out, but what really grinds my gears, and
this really grinds my gears. You know how you
watch these sitcoms, these little, not sitcoms,
but these, you know, you go to Netflix, you watch
series one, you know, episodes one through ten,
whatever. Right. You're getting into it. You're
like three, four, five episodes. It's really
good. Starts jamming out. Then all of a sudden,
two dudes start making out. Oh, yeah. They got
a Netflix. That's every series. It doesn't matter.
Yes. I'm invested at that time. Right. And I'm
just kind of like, come on. It's so unnecessary,
too. Really? Most of the time, it has nothing
to do with the plot. Correct. It has nothing
to do. There's no bearing on the situation at
all. It's like, why are they doing this? They
don't show a man and a woman making out. What
program was this? You know, I don't even remember,
but I was watching it, and I had to make a note
because I was just salty. I was just like, it
was unnecessary. It didn't have anything to do
with anything. It was just unnecessary. The relationship
didn't matter. You know, it's just. We were watching
something the other day. My wife and I were like.
It was a shooting movie. It's some girl, some
woman. So it was a violent shoot -em -up movie
that had two gays? Yeah, it was a violent shoot
-em -up movie, and there was a group of people,
and she's part of a secret association. And these
two big burly men are part of the security detail.
Yeah, one of the guys was a small, shorty, smaller
guy, and he turned out to be gay. And he ended
up at the very end, lived to the very end. But
it doesn't matter. The point is that it was unnecessary.
It was gratuitous. And the scenes that they were
in, it was just like, come on. It just got worse
and worse. They got naked. were like spooning
and i'm just like come on did you watch it over
and over again yeah no he has a bookmark No,
but it's just like back 30 seconds, back 30 seconds,
back 30 seconds. Look, I got to be honest. I
don't even like, I don't have thrust. What the
hell, dude? What kind of remote do you have?
I don't even like watching like regular sex scenes
because I think regular sex scenes are even too
much. I find myself forwarding through that stuff
too. No, those don't bother me. Yeah, I mean,
they don't bother me, but I still end up forwarding
through them. Yeah, Shelly starts forwarding
and I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I was like, what
are you doing? What are you doing? Go back. Go
back. I think we missed some important dialogue.
Yeah, you're going to miss something. Yeah, and
the rest of the show won't make sense. Because
right in the middle of the sex scene, she says
something like, I killed him. Maybe there's a
hidden tattoo. You don't know what she said?
Maybe there's like a tattoo or some scene. There's
a tattoo. Yes. Yeah, the tattoo on the left breast.
Yeah, underneath. It's a scorpion. Underneath
the flap. What you didn't see, she lifts it up
and there's a little tattoo right there. She
says, I did it. I did it. I did it. I killed
him. Right. All right. Okay. Wow, wheels off.
Yeah, we need to talk about our bourbon. We're
running out of time here in this episode. I want
to make sure we get to this. This is a repeater.
This is actually considered, on only drams, a
rare find. Well, that's because it is. I mean,
it's... And I'll tell you, I haven't even drank
hardly any of mine. I'm about done. I'm about
done, too. Yeah, this is from... Well, we're
having trouble finding exactly who made this.
It's by, well, we can tell who bottles it. It's
Elite Bottling from California. The bourbon is
called Wildcatter. It's a Kentucky straight bourbon.
It's eight years. Damn. So it's sourced from
Kentucky. It doesn't say from where. We're not
quite sure. But it's an eight -year. It's 90
proof. And like I said, it's Elite Brands. is
the bottler. So we don't even know if it's a
blend. Is it a blend? We don't know. Well, that's
not a single barrel, so it doesn't say single
barrel on it. So yes, it's probably a blend.
Right. Okay, well, let's see. What have we got
here? It's nice. It's got a nice nose for sure.
Yeah, I think it's good. I think as far as 90
proof, I think it's a standard 90 proof where
it disappears pretty quick. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah. But it's sweet. There's some sweetness.
It's got a tough little pepper pop in the very
front, and then it goes away quick. But comparing
this to some of the other 90s, the 95s, the Mictors,
the Big Sticks, those type, this is well below
that. This is pretty mild. It's very mild. I
mean, we've had some pretty rich. It's a creamy.
Yeah, we've had some rich ones at 90 proof. This
one is pretty mild. It tastes good. It just goes
away quickly. Has the standard vanilla. Yeah.
It's got a little doughy there right in the middle,
at the tail end. You could do the bourbon choupon.
It's very nutty. Not bad aggressively, but I
probably will. I think I got some now and later
in there. A little nutmeg. You have pieces of
teeth in there. Say now or later. Now or later.
Little chunks of gum. It's kind of fruity. That
little peppery finish there. I was kind of aggressive
there, wasn't I? Extremely. Yeah, so I don't
know. It's like dark fruits. I'm going to say
stone fruit because it fits. Apricots, not specifically.
I do actually get apricot. Dark fruits, dark
sweets. The palate, caramel, wood. It's a standard
stuff. Caramel, wood, vanilla, dark fruit. It's
a pretty standard and dried apricots. It's a
pretty standard bourbon. It actually says it
right there. It's a standard bourbon. So if you
like, you know, that. Simple, easy -to -drink
bourbon. If you can find it, get it. I was going
to say, this is rare. I don't even know. Where
did we get this? I have no idea. I don't know.
That's so bizarre. It's like a mystery bourbon
to us. It's rare, but we have no idea where it's
from, where we got it. We don't know how much
we paid for it. Well, here it was $58 .50, right?
No, that was pounds. That's right, it was pounds,
wasn't it? Yeah, it was pounds, yeah. So it's
$800. I'm not sure the exchange rate is quite
like that. Oh, did they change the bottle and
the labeling? It kind of looks like it. Is that
the same thing? That's a totally different label.
Wildcatter. It might be the same thing. Does
it say Wildcatter? Yeah, this one might say Barrel
Select or something. Oak? Oak Barrels. Oak Barrels.
Yeah, I don't know. Well, this one is, what,
$30? So it's actually Wild Catter Distillery.
Yeah, price range $30 to $35, if you can find
it. If you can find it. And it's not bad. So
what is a rating for not bad? 5 .8? 6 .0? Yeah,
I think about a 5 .5 for me. Yeah, 5 .7 maybe?
It's just there. You know, it's good. It's somewhere
in that high, mid to high 5 range, I think. Yeah.
I'm on six too. I'm going to give this one a
nice big old smooch because I enjoy it. I think
the nutty flavor on there carries a long way.
It's smooth. I think that the pepper is long
enough to where it sticks. It's by no means a
mictor. It's not bad. Or a big stick, but you
know. Yeah. Did I say that right? Yes. Okay.
Yeah. But it's a big stick. I got to tell you
what, man. Those guys, that stuff was. was surprisingly
good. I did not expect it because I'm thinking
like an Oaken Eden kind of thing was going on.
No, this was better. This is better than the
Oaken Eden. Yeah, well. In my opinion. Oh, this
is definitely better. But I'm saying Big Stick
is better than Oaken Eden. Yeah. Yeah, I would
agree with that. Yeah. It was rich. Yeah. And
I think it goes back to the longer it sits in
there. Now, it taps out at about a year, he said,
didn't he? A year to 18 months where it stops
working. Obviously, the older that gets, I think
the richer it's going to get. Yeah. Sure. Which
is nice. And it's extra aging in the bottle.
Yeah, it's still aging out there. So from what
I understood about, of course, when the barrel
breathes when you have a Char 4, it creates a
filtering process. I'm wondering if any of that
is the same with the big stick whiskeys. Yeah,
absolutely. If it has something to do with it.
It expands? I don't know. I mean, like, if it
gets exposed to sun, if it's cold, hot, cold,
hot, cold, hot, you know, it will kind of repeat,
kind of rinse, repeat. Well, you don't want your
bourbon to sit in the sun. I know that. Well,
I don't know. But, I mean, they say that some,
if you just rock it, you know, they have those
motion things. You know, I'm wondering if that
will have an impact on it. What will it do to
that stave? Yes, the staves do time out after
a year, but. Is there anything you can do to
revive that? What did he say the stave was in
a char? Char 2? Char 3? Do you remember? He chars
it himself. I know. He didn't want to say. I
don't think he gave an exact breakdown. I think
it's a char 4. The higher the char. He did say
char 4. That's what I heard. The more filtering.
The more filtering. It's not always a good thing
to do an alligator char or a char 4 because.
it filters out more than you might want. It'll
filter out more of those esters. Right. So if
you want something that's a little more raw,
I guess, you want to stick to the 1 and 2, right?
1, 2, or 3. Correct. Interesting. How much time?
15 minutes. So I guess we're rating it? Is that
what you were wanting us to rate? I gave it a
5 .5. Yeah, I'll give it a 5 .7. And he gave
it a 6 .2. Yeah, I gave it a 6 .2. I think it's
pretty good. I enjoy it. It's not bad. Not bad
at all. You know, what's funny about the, to
go back a little bit regarding the Supreme Court
and their attempt to rule in on the school systems.
Right. They managed, that ether I was referring
to, they managed to unite Jews, Muslims, and
Catholics under one banner. Yes. With what? Well,
with the books. With the parental. The book ruling?
Yeah, with the parents wanting to take control
over what's going to be taught to their kids.
Yeah, because religiously, a religious family
doesn't want their children, and that goes for
all faiths. Yeah. Right? So you have all these
faiths that have typically warred for centuries
behind the same flag going, yeah, this is wrong.
Yeah, sure. That should tell you something. Yeah.
Yeah. So this isn't about. This isn't about gays
or lesbians. You know, these are about activists
and liberals, you know, because there are gays
and lesbians out there that, like, they don't
want any part of this. They're like, this is
not what we signed up for. They just want to
live their lives and, you know, be left alone
and, you know, whatever. This is something where
there's no reasonable gay guy wants to know about
this or be part of this. Yeah, I remember when
that whole cake. The bakery thing went down.
Oh, yeah. They were deliberately in multiple
places, Colorado, Oregon. And they deliberately
gay couples would deliberately go to a Christian
bakery and, you know, and ask for a wedding cake.
And they were knowing that they would be declined.
And I remember reading some stories like, you
know, from from rational, you know, you know,
homosexual couples that were like, you're you're
baiting them. Right. You're just this is not,
you know, what are you doing this for? Like,
let them have their own beliefs. We have our
own beliefs. You're deliberately creating, you
know, conflict. Oh, yeah. And I love that. I
love that there was rational people that were,
you know, it didn't mean that they hated them.
They just, they have their own beliefs, you know?
Anyway, I wish there would be more of that. More
tolerance, man. There's a bakery in Oberlin where
Oberlin College is in Ohio. And Oberlin is an
extremely liberal school. And they, it was something
similar. I don't know if it was a cake for a
gay couple or whatever it was. Well, the students
started protesting, saying, don't ever go to
this bakery again. Right, try to cancel them.
Well, the school got involved. The actual college
got involved. Oh, man. And started telling the
students, don't go to this bakery because they
go get, oh. That's lawsuit material right there.
Well, the bakery sued the school. Good. And won.
Good. Like hundreds of thousands of dollars that
the school had to pay. Because it totally damaged
their business. It did. And mass discrimination.
I think it went up to the Supreme Court. It took
years. The bakery. I think the people who. What
was it? Overton? Oberlin. Oberlin College. I
don't remember the name of the bakery, though,
or the deli, or whatever it was. It was a family
-owned thing. And what's sad is the mother and
father died. During this whole process. Gibson's
Bakery versus Oberlin College. Yeah, imagine
the stress that they went through. A family -owned
business, and they just wanted to do good things
for people that shared their same values. Yep,
yep. And they got shit on. They got shit on.
How about Vince Vaughn taking some heat for going
to, where'd he go? Something to do with Trump.
He... What's the story behind Vince Vaughn, right?
Did you know that? Did you guys not hear about
this? No. So they're calling for his canceling
because first off, he went to the inaugural ball.
Oh. And then recently he showed up. God, I'm
trying to remember. Did he go to the White House?
He might have gone to the White House. Yeah,
look this up for me. Let's see here. So it said
the Vince Vaughn story. It refers to a social
media trend where people comment that Vince Vaughn
canceled after a photo of the actor with Donald
Trump in the Oval Office was posted at the White
House Instagram account. April 18th, he visited
him in the Oval Office. This is a White House
crasher's spoof. Yep. When are they going to
learn that their playbook doesn't work anymore?
Yeah, people don't give a shit about canceling
them. I don't even know if it necessarily worked,
but it got a lot of attention during the Biden
years. The Obama years is where it probably started.
Through the Trump and then the Biden, it just
ramped up to 1 ,000. And now it's people, I think,
are overreached. There was a huge overreach on
so many of these topics. The border, the trans,
the racism, everything is racist. Everyone's
Hitler if you don't agree with me. Yep. The cancellation
society out there. They overplayed their hand.
They did. They overplayed it. Which is what fed
into the election. It did. You know, it's crazy
that you bring up Hitler. You know, Hitler was
the guy that wanted to get rid of, that did,
not wanted. He got rid of all those trans books
that they're talking about right now at the Supreme
Court. They had all those trans books in the
colleges, in the schools, trying to teach their
kids. Remember they're talking about the burning
of the books. Right. They're not talking about
the public library books where you're burning
educational stuff that was supposed to be there.
They're talking about gay books and shit that
was unethical. I don't want to toot Hitler's
horn or say he was good by any means because
that's fucked up. But at the same time, you know,
he went about it the wrong way. He did. Did you
finish your book yet? I'm 42 % in. I read like
15, 30 minutes every other night. Yeah. Very
slow. And it tells you what percentage you are
in the book? Yes, it does. It's funny. Yeah,
it does. Yeah. It tells you what page you're
on. Yeah, I don't even look at pages. I try to
look at it all. Because when I open up, in fact,
it's this right here. So I lay in bed, and it's
got a black page with white letters. And it's
quiet. I put earbuds in so I can't hear other
shit going on at the house. And I always have
to back up like three or four pages. And then
I just kind of fly through it, do a couple pages,
and all of a sudden I go to sleep. I fall asleep.
When I start reading, I may get like three pages
in, and I'm just like. I'm out. That's kind of
what it is. But I'm enjoying it. And I'll tell
you what, I retain it. I'm excited about it.
This is the Egyptian one, isn't it? This is,
yeah. The pyramids and stuff like that? Yes.
Yeah, okay. The James Rollins sand. Where there's
big pillars that go really far under the ground.
And there's a copper coil around all of the things.
Yes. And it's a power station? It's actually
a big lake with lots of fish. Oh, I haven't heard
that one. It's Sandstorm, a Sigma Force novel.
Yes. He's talking about the fish finder that
they put under the pyramid. That's what it looked
like. Hey, look, there is something going on.
And, you know, we don't know what it is. And
it may not be necessarily the big cobs. I have
no idea. But there is shit underneath those pyramids.
You know, they admitted it a long time ago. Yeah,
there's a lot of dirt. I think in this book you
end up underneath the pyramids. They dig underneath
there? I think so. I can't remember, though.
Yeah. Hey, look, there's, you know, again, it's
like, just like everything, you know, people
don't believe it until it happens. Right. You
know, and then just like, all right, well, then
now who's laughing? You know, so I keep an open
mind on things like that because if you don't
know, You can't say for a fact. It's kind of
like the secret of life. It's kind of like, all
right, well, is there God or is there not God?
Well, let's think about all the things in the
universe that we know, everything. And you're
like, all right, well, if you make it a pie chart
and you, well, shit, man, I'm going to do 1 %
because it's 1 % that we know everything. I mean,
come on, it's not realistic that we know everything
about everything. So if you only know 1 % of
everything, then is it possible that the other
99 % exist? Yeah. Of course. It's possible. I
agree with that. So we don't know what's underneath
the pyramids. We just simply don't know. You
can use an educated guess and say it's unrealistic,
but you know what? It was unrealistic for those
tombs to be there. We didn't think that until
all of a sudden they showed up. It's unrealistic
for the Dead Sea Scrolls to be found, but they
were found inside of some freaking cave under
the sand. Yeah, I think that goes back to the
discussion of... As we discover these things,
the technology that was lost. We've covered it
a lot of times. You know, the technology was
lost and how we kind of think of these old ancient
people as dumb. Yeah. Or uneducated or whatever.
They were teaching sophisticated math back in
the Babylonian and Sumerian times. Yeah. Sophisticated
math. They may not have had circuit boards and
shit like that, but they had ways of doing stuff,
right? Yeah. It was the abacus. Hell, they had
an earthquake machine in China. where they've
got this thing. It looks like a drum, and it's
got these dragons on the rim of the drum, and
they have a little, there's a little ball in
the dragon's mouth. And I don't know if it comes
out of the dragon's mouth, but what it does is
it feels a vibration. It senses a vibration somewhere,
a seismic event, and it can, wherever the ball
comes out is the direction in which the earthquake
is coming from, which I was. Was it an early?
early warning or is it just something it is okay
it's an early warning and earlier than that they
would build like a hundred foot pole and there
was a dude standing on the top of it and it started
to shake he would be like holy shit he'd start
yelling then if he fell off yeah if he fell off
then then the people would know yeah you know
get out of your drunk again get out of your huts
get off your huts yeah they had sophisticated
uh huts back then sure they did Anyway. You know
what, though? The whole thing about talking about
these Dems and jumping back a little bit, the
Dems themselves are getting kind of frustrated
with themselves. Do you guys know who David Hogg
is? Yes. He's a freaking idiot. He's a total
idiot. Yeah, but he went on some of the networks,
and he says, look, he is an idiot. But he's also
saying that we need to replace these Dems that
are currently in office. With who? With him.
Well, maybe with him, but it doesn't matter.
Somebody that is just different. Are they going
to replace him with somebody better? Yeah, with
who? Is he presenting someone better? Well, that's
just it. You never know. These are kind of like,
this is the way they operate. It's kind of like
they give people shit over what doesn't matter
what it is. Let's say it's solving a solution
for quote unquote A, whatever A is. The Republicans
say, well, we could do this, this, and this.
Okay, well, that's really going to fix A. And
the Democrats, no, no, no, no. There's a better
way. All right, well, then show us what the better
way is. Right. You can't just say don't do it.
Right. Do you know his background, David Hogg?
No, I don't. Well, he was at that school shooting
video. Right. So after the school shooting, yeah,
after after the school shooting in Florida, right?
Yeah. Parkland in Florida. He was one of the
students that kind of like, you know, basically
took charge at the podium and and started talking
on the microphone and and started spewing his,
you know, anti gun control or no, his gun control,
you know, rhetoric and all that kind of stuff.
You know, and I shouldn't fault somebody for
wanting to get involved, right? And, you know,
that's how it happens. I think his methodology
is, the way he did it, the way he talks is just,
grinds my gears. Yes, and he's just not, I mean,
you have to know that, you have to understand
if you're not qualified, then you've got to go
through. Right. You know what I mean? And he
was not qualified. He's not qualified, just like
AOC wasn't qualified. You have to like. Learn
the ropes, and you have to actually know what
you're talking about before you start spewing
a bunch of shit. She is good looking, though.
Yeah, David Hogg is. You talking about David
Hogg? ALC. Oh. Oh. Oh, weird. Yeah, no, she is.
Great juggies. She's actually, wow. She's got
a beautiful smile. It's just, I don't know. Then
she speaks. The David Hogg thing just irritates
the shit out of me. I like the voice, too. I
could see her kind of coming out from under the
table with that voice. Here's the other thing.
I don't. I don't even know if he went to college,
but he went from this gun control thing with
the school shooting. To a lobbyist. To a lobbyist.
And then, did you hear that he donated $100 ,000
to the Democrats? I'm like, how the fuck did
he come up with $100 ,000? Because he had a knockoff
on my pillow. He's done nothing. Well, he's now
the vice chair of the Democratic Party. Exactly.
Which is insane. Yes. So basically he just...
Did he have a knockoff pillow he did? Yes, he
did. Yeah, he was trying to go up against the
MyPillow guy. Was he called the hog? Which, by
the way, he's not doing well, the MyPillow guy.
Yeah. He's getting... He's getting throttled.
He screwed himself by... Did Dominion sue him,
right? Because he was going hardcore against
the Dominion machines, and they sued him, and
they won, and his company's not doing well. Well,
everyone dropped him. He can't advertise anywhere.
Well, he advertised on Fox News. Well, I think
that's it. And he's not doing well. Apparently,
he was in front of a judge almost bawling because
he couldn't meet his debts or something. I don't
know. I don't know. I feel bad for him because
he was a patriot. The guy's a patriot, you know?
He is. And he's self -made. Yep. And he's not
doing well. Well, you know, we'll do a new shout
-out. Maybe we can help him out. Yeah. What's
his name? So dudes like us listeners, let's buy
some MyPillows. Mike, but it's Mike what? Mike.
Mike. Mike Pillow. Mike Pillow, yes. All right,
well, while we're looking at that. He seems to
be a good dude, man. He just, you know. Mike
Lindell. Mike Lindell. We know that. Mike Lindell.
Yeah, his voice is... It was kind of cool for
the first 5 ,000 episodes or commercials I've
seen, but... All right, well, this is the first
half of the Dudes Like Us podcast. Chuck, for
staying on top of things. Thank you, as usual.
We had a fantastic glass of Wild Scatter. What
is it called? Wild Cat? Wild Scatter. Wild Scatter.
Wild Scatter. Wild Scatter. Wild Scatter. Geez.
Wow, it tasted great. Wild Scatter. All right.
Yeah, dudes like us, I'm Sean. I'm Paul. And
I'm Jeff. We'll see you in a couple seconds.
