WEBVTT

00:00:05.300 --> 00:00:08.179
It's Monday night. Monday night. That's right.

00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:11.220
Are the lights a little too bright there? They're

00:00:11.220 --> 00:00:13.720
brighter than normal. It's too pretty to see.

00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:15.960
Yeah, I don't want to see you either, so let's

00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:18.870
dim those. Let's dim those a little bit. Makes

00:00:18.870 --> 00:00:20.629
a huge difference. Yeah, good luck with that.

00:00:20.730 --> 00:00:21.929
I don't even know what's going on. It's the 25

00:00:21.929 --> 00:00:24.670
% or it should be, but you have to hit it 300

00:00:24.670 --> 00:00:26.989
times to get it to work. I had to lay on my stomach

00:00:26.989 --> 00:00:29.969
and do the worm crawl last time to get that thing

00:00:29.969 --> 00:00:32.649
to work. Interesting. Is that when you called

00:00:32.649 --> 00:00:35.909
for help? Yeah. Help, I fall and I can't get

00:00:35.909 --> 00:00:39.570
up. Yeah. Yeah, when I come up to edit, I turn

00:00:39.570 --> 00:00:43.689
those on and I sit there. It takes like seven,

00:00:43.810 --> 00:00:46.229
eight, nine times sometimes. I don't smash it.

00:00:46.409 --> 00:00:50.649
The remote control looks like it works. You see

00:00:50.649 --> 00:00:53.229
the little red LED light there? Oh, then we got

00:00:53.229 --> 00:00:54.729
some action there. I don't know what's going

00:00:54.729 --> 00:00:56.909
on with that. I don't know. Dudes like us out

00:00:56.909 --> 00:00:58.929
there have issues with some remote controls.

00:00:59.149 --> 00:01:00.649
They're just finicky. I don't know what the deal

00:01:00.649 --> 00:01:03.929
is. They're solid Chinese technology. Well built.

00:01:04.170 --> 00:01:06.269
I don't understand how you're having any problems

00:01:06.269 --> 00:01:08.730
with that. I don't know. Well, I'll tell you

00:01:08.730 --> 00:01:12.390
what, man. We've had a... Jam -packed weekend.

00:01:12.650 --> 00:01:15.109
I mean, we're doing this on... We got a busy

00:01:15.109 --> 00:01:17.650
week, so we're going to do it Monday night. Dudes

00:01:17.650 --> 00:01:21.170
Like Us taking off. It is... What is it? It's

00:01:21.170 --> 00:01:25.049
June 2nd? We are six months into the year. We

00:01:25.049 --> 00:01:28.299
are. Outstanding. It's crazy. Got a new Advent

00:01:28.299 --> 00:01:30.799
whiskey to introduce on the second half. Yeah.

00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:33.700
Super excited. And we dug one out of the shelf.

00:01:34.140 --> 00:01:36.000
It's an oldie but goodie. We'll see if this one

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.219
holds up to it. We took a few sipples of it.

00:01:38.340 --> 00:01:41.079
Yeah, I don't remember anything about it. Neither

00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:43.840
do I, but we bought the pair. I don't even remember

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.579
having it. Yeah. Like owning it. Smells good.

00:01:47.579 --> 00:01:48.989
Give it a little shot here. All right, well,

00:01:49.010 --> 00:01:50.989
we've got a full schedule of topics to talk about,

00:01:51.049 --> 00:01:52.870
and we're going to shoot from the hip here. Dudes

00:01:52.870 --> 00:01:55.069
Like Us. I'm Sean. I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff. And

00:01:55.069 --> 00:01:56.969
thank you, Mr. Producer Chuck, behind the scenes,

00:01:57.030 --> 00:01:59.829
pulling up all the nasty materials for us to

00:01:59.829 --> 00:02:02.750
refer to because we are idiots and liars, and

00:02:02.750 --> 00:02:05.549
we do fact check constantly. Well, we do. Liars.

00:02:05.709 --> 00:02:09.520
Well, yeah. We try to tell the truth. We've had

00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.580
guests the last two episodes. We had RD1 and

00:02:12.580 --> 00:02:14.439
then we had Horse Neck last week. That's right.

00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:18.620
RD1 Spirits, Barry Brinegar, and then it was

00:02:18.620 --> 00:02:21.560
Bob and Darren from Horse Neck. Jim. What the

00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.060
hell did Bob come from? I don't know. Yeah, Jim

00:02:24.060 --> 00:02:27.210
and Darren. Yeah, so if you haven't listened

00:02:27.210 --> 00:02:29.030
to that podcast, it's a good one. Yeah, both

00:02:29.030 --> 00:02:31.169
are excellent. Yeah. Excellent podcast. So we

00:02:31.169 --> 00:02:32.610
have a couple of topics, is what I'm going to

00:02:32.610 --> 00:02:34.530
say, that have been on the board for a couple

00:02:34.530 --> 00:02:36.590
of days. They may be a little dated, but I think

00:02:36.590 --> 00:02:38.789
it's still something that, at least interesting

00:02:38.789 --> 00:02:40.289
to us, that's why we kept them on the board,

00:02:40.349 --> 00:02:43.650
right? Yes. Specifically, we could talk, I think,

00:02:43.669 --> 00:02:45.810
that's probably old news here in the Dallas -Fort

00:02:45.810 --> 00:02:48.650
Worth area, but the Stars got basically routed

00:02:48.650 --> 00:02:50.389
and moved to that. They got railed. Pretty well

00:02:50.389 --> 00:02:52.169
balanced, yeah. Yeah, they just got thrown out

00:02:52.169 --> 00:02:56.810
with bathwater. And you know what? I have watched

00:02:56.810 --> 00:02:59.449
a lot of hockey in my life. I haven't watched

00:02:59.449 --> 00:03:02.169
as much in the last five, six years, probably,

00:03:02.289 --> 00:03:04.169
just because I'm kind of disconnected with life.

00:03:04.430 --> 00:03:06.930
But I know a good -ass weapon when I see it.

00:03:07.110 --> 00:03:10.110
And the Stars just weren't there. They were absent

00:03:10.110 --> 00:03:12.849
the entire time. Yeah. Edmonton looked good as

00:03:12.849 --> 00:03:15.509
well, I thought. Yeah. I mean, they had moments

00:03:15.509 --> 00:03:18.870
where they... They controlled the puck. They

00:03:18.870 --> 00:03:20.789
had flurries. They just couldn't get anything

00:03:20.789 --> 00:03:22.449
past that goalie. That's like someone with dementia.

00:03:22.610 --> 00:03:25.270
They're lucid for a short amount of time. But

00:03:25.270 --> 00:03:27.430
that goalie outplayed ours. I mean, that's really

00:03:27.430 --> 00:03:29.270
kind of the bottom line. And you know what's

00:03:29.270 --> 00:03:31.250
particularly painful is Edmonton beat us last

00:03:31.250 --> 00:03:35.210
year in basically the same spot in the playoffs.

00:03:35.530 --> 00:03:39.349
Yeah, I heard some stat where we've met Edmonton

00:03:39.349 --> 00:03:42.020
in the finals. of the Western Conference Finals

00:03:42.020 --> 00:03:43.759
like seven of the last nine years or something

00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:45.319
ridiculous like that. And you just can't get

00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:47.259
by them. Can't get by them. Yeah, that's frustrating.

00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:49.500
Yeah. But, you know, I think they played their

00:03:49.500 --> 00:03:50.939
hearts out and they did the best they could.

00:03:50.979 --> 00:03:53.900
We were just outmatched. So, anyway. It happens.

00:03:54.099 --> 00:03:56.560
It does. It does. Let's see. What else happened

00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:00.419
in a couple last weeks? We had the, oh, let me

00:04:00.419 --> 00:04:03.780
see here. We had the, well, we just jumped. Well,

00:04:03.819 --> 00:04:06.319
you know what? We had that Mexican, that Mexican

00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.120
naval ship hit that bridge. Did you guys see

00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.259
the footage of that? Yes. Yes. First off, I thought

00:04:12.259 --> 00:04:14.479
it was a wedding celebration. No, no, no. It

00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.680
was just a training ship. It was like an old

00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.680
-fashioned sailboat. That's what threw me off.

00:04:20.699 --> 00:04:23.279
They said it was a training naval vessel. There

00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:25.300
were people standing on where the sails were.

00:04:25.459 --> 00:04:28.300
Yes. It was a celebration. Yeah, I read it was

00:04:28.300 --> 00:04:30.879
a wedding event that was on the boat, and they

00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:32.819
were up there doing their celebration thing.

00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:35.410
Oh, I didn't hear that at all. I don't know if

00:04:35.410 --> 00:04:37.430
it's a wedding. I thought it was just some kind

00:04:37.430 --> 00:04:40.910
of celebration. Well, regardless, I mean, you

00:04:40.910 --> 00:04:42.930
would think. Now, were those people on there

00:04:42.930 --> 00:04:45.769
when it knocked over? No. Well, no, they were

00:04:45.769 --> 00:04:48.930
on there, as is. So what had happened is that

00:04:48.930 --> 00:04:53.089
there was an outage. What a nightmare. A navigation

00:04:53.089 --> 00:04:56.129
outage within the equipment somewhere. And they

00:04:56.129 --> 00:04:58.110
were dead in the water. And it was just cruising.

00:04:58.310 --> 00:05:00.750
So they couldn't stop it from going. And those

00:05:00.750 --> 00:05:04.310
guys were struggling at the last second. So there

00:05:04.310 --> 00:05:06.209
are people still on the mass. Yeah, there are

00:05:06.209 --> 00:05:09.129
two or three people that passed that died from

00:05:09.129 --> 00:05:11.689
that incident. How did more not die? 18, 19,

00:05:11.709 --> 00:05:14.689
and 20 years old. Yeah, that's tough. How did

00:05:14.689 --> 00:05:18.689
more not die? Are they still on the rails after

00:05:18.689 --> 00:05:21.230
it? I mean, look at that. There's still people

00:05:21.230 --> 00:05:23.370
there, even though it's after the fact, right?

00:05:23.689 --> 00:05:25.410
Well, yeah, you can see them standing there with

00:05:25.410 --> 00:05:28.889
their arms out still. Yes. No one's yelling yet

00:05:28.889 --> 00:05:31.689
going, jump into the water. Oh, what a nightmare.

00:05:32.009 --> 00:05:35.620
I think I would have. I've never seen that footage.

00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:40.180
That's awful. Yep. That's bad. How did it only

00:05:40.180 --> 00:05:42.740
kill two people? That's amazing. Well, hopefully

00:05:42.740 --> 00:05:44.839
those folks can swim real well. Yeah, unless

00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.519
you got smashed by the beam, right? Got knocked

00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.120
out, fell in the water, just got pulverized.

00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.319
Here's another shot. Here's another angle. Okay,

00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.579
so yeah, it lost control. So that tugboat was

00:05:56.579 --> 00:05:59.120
trying to get around it maybe? The tugboat was

00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.000
there the whole time. It just couldn't control

00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:06.310
it. Yeah. I think they called it in as a last

00:06:06.310 --> 00:06:09.350
-ditch effort to try to help manage the direction

00:06:09.350 --> 00:06:12.230
in which it was going. Yeah, I saw something

00:06:12.230 --> 00:06:14.569
where someone was trying to blame Trump for all

00:06:14.569 --> 00:06:19.329
the FAA or the firings. Not FAA, but the transportation

00:06:19.329 --> 00:06:21.629
and all that shit. Blaming him for it. Because

00:06:21.629 --> 00:06:24.529
there's a Marine, just like aircraft, there's

00:06:24.529 --> 00:06:28.670
a Marine, you know. And it was up and running.

00:06:28.750 --> 00:06:30.889
There were no problems with it. It was not understaffed.

00:06:30.949 --> 00:06:34.110
They tried to blame him anyway. Anyway, I'm glad

00:06:34.110 --> 00:06:35.850
we actually talked about this because I had not

00:06:35.850 --> 00:06:37.269
seen that footage. That's kind of disturbing.

00:06:37.889 --> 00:06:40.250
Yeah. And extremely unfortunate. Let's see if

00:06:40.250 --> 00:06:42.389
it was a wedding. I'm kind of curious. See if

00:06:42.389 --> 00:06:45.529
my little... So they said it was a naval training

00:06:45.529 --> 00:06:49.110
vessel. And I thought it was like an actual ship,

00:06:49.350 --> 00:06:51.089
like a modern ship. Yeah, so it makes sense.

00:06:51.110 --> 00:06:52.689
It was a Saturday evening. It was a celebration.

00:06:53.069 --> 00:06:55.870
I read it was a... Well, it doesn't matter. We

00:06:55.870 --> 00:06:58.410
can't see it. You can see the people falling

00:06:58.410 --> 00:07:01.790
off. Yeah, that's pretty bad. You would think

00:07:01.790 --> 00:07:03.589
that I would have probably stayed up there and

00:07:03.589 --> 00:07:05.290
tried to jump onto the bridge at that point.

00:07:05.410 --> 00:07:07.009
It looked like they were hiding. They got lost

00:07:07.009 --> 00:07:09.790
on the bridge. Oh, you mean the bridge they hit.

00:07:10.329 --> 00:07:14.269
They just kind of calmly walk off. Dude, if they

00:07:14.269 --> 00:07:16.930
pull that off, they're Tom Cruise if they can

00:07:16.930 --> 00:07:19.110
do that. There's no way anybody would be able

00:07:19.110 --> 00:07:21.290
to do that. That's crazy. I don't know. That's

00:07:21.290 --> 00:07:23.410
another angle of it. Oh, my God. Yeah, that's

00:07:23.410 --> 00:07:28.209
horrific. So it's a beautiful boat. Yeah, I got

00:07:28.209 --> 00:07:33.370
nothing. Okay. Anyway, haven't got no real story

00:07:33.370 --> 00:07:34.649
on that either. You would think you have some

00:07:34.649 --> 00:07:36.990
sort of audio clip. Yeah, no. It's two killed,

00:07:37.029 --> 00:07:40.509
19 injured. Yeah, it's crazy. That's incredible

00:07:40.509 --> 00:07:42.790
that more people didn't die. Let me see. What

00:07:42.790 --> 00:07:46.209
was it, though? I want to see if Mayor Eric Adams

00:07:46.209 --> 00:07:48.490
said early Sunday two people died on the crash.

00:07:48.689 --> 00:07:54.319
Two others remained in critical condition. Whatever.

00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:56.759
Oh, the National Transportation Safety Board

00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:00.220
is sending a GO team. Well, you've got to make

00:08:00.220 --> 00:08:02.879
sure that bridge is safe, too. Anytime you get

00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:04.680
an impact like that, there's all kinds of...

00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:07.360
Man, you've got to cover your ass. It's all about

00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:10.480
covering your butt, and especially with the times.

00:08:10.540 --> 00:08:11.920
Look at that dude just hanging there. Well, they're

00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:14.439
probably... I wonder if they're strapped in by

00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:16.600
the safety harnesses, right? So they probably

00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:19.019
got knocked off, and maybe they're all just kind

00:08:19.019 --> 00:08:20.879
of dangling there. Which actually saved them.

00:08:21.129 --> 00:08:24.170
Probably. Yeah, probably that. Except for the

00:08:24.170 --> 00:08:26.449
two unlucky ones who maybe took a direct impact

00:08:26.449 --> 00:08:29.089
into the bridge, maybe. Or right where the mast

00:08:29.089 --> 00:08:32.029
broke, maybe. Sad deal. Yeah, it's sad. I'm super

00:08:32.029 --> 00:08:34.350
sad any time something like that happens to anybody.

00:08:35.110 --> 00:08:36.809
All right, a little left turn here, but I think

00:08:36.809 --> 00:08:39.309
the biggest story, at least that I know of right

00:08:39.309 --> 00:08:43.110
now, is this Autopen scandal. I think we should

00:08:43.110 --> 00:08:46.190
jump into this. Because they're saying now that

00:08:46.190 --> 00:08:50.299
these people... I mean, Biden had no idea what

00:08:50.299 --> 00:08:52.399
he was, quote, signing. Right. And they were

00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:55.200
trying to cram through executive orders that

00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:59.440
were related to climate action, right? Climate

00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:03.220
change stuff and energy, right? And they were,

00:09:03.299 --> 00:09:05.240
you know, I don't know if he would have signed

00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.940
it anyway. I mean, I guess that's the question,

00:09:08.100 --> 00:09:10.639
right? Well, I know early on the questions came

00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:14.919
up about the auto pen and about the pardons.

00:09:15.389 --> 00:09:18.789
Oh, that was the other thing. And I think didn't

00:09:18.789 --> 00:09:21.370
a court already come out and say that's not,

00:09:21.429 --> 00:09:22.970
or maybe a bunch of lawyers came out and said

00:09:22.970 --> 00:09:27.029
that's not challengeable. We really don't know

00:09:27.029 --> 00:09:28.929
if he did or didn't. Oh, yeah, they can't prove

00:09:28.929 --> 00:09:33.309
it. Yeah, but you, okay. So the argument is there

00:09:33.309 --> 00:09:35.649
are certain, well, that is the argument. What,

00:09:35.649 --> 00:09:40.730
is it constitutional for them to auto -pen certain

00:09:40.730 --> 00:09:42.909
things like that? Well, yeah, he's not the only

00:09:42.909 --> 00:09:45.669
president who used the auto -pen for, Multiple

00:09:45.669 --> 00:09:47.950
documents, right? I mean, all Biden has to say.

00:09:48.009 --> 00:09:50.269
I mean, he's obviously still alive and he's,

00:09:50.269 --> 00:09:52.570
you know. If he goes out and says, yes, I did

00:09:52.570 --> 00:09:54.750
all of it. Then it all goes away. Unless there's

00:09:54.750 --> 00:09:57.789
some kind of proof somewhere that proves otherwise.

00:09:58.070 --> 00:10:00.309
So really, you're right. It's a nothing murder.

00:10:00.649 --> 00:10:02.590
It's a he said, she said type of thing. Because

00:10:02.590 --> 00:10:04.450
it doesn't matter. He's going to back him. Right.

00:10:04.610 --> 00:10:06.990
I mean, even if he didn't know who he pardoned

00:10:06.990 --> 00:10:09.330
and they pardoned their friends, right? And they

00:10:09.330 --> 00:10:11.169
were just kind of taking advantage of, I mean,

00:10:11.190 --> 00:10:13.090
really the sad part of the whole story is that

00:10:13.090 --> 00:10:16.340
it was total elderly abuse. Well, it was. 100%.

00:10:16.340 --> 00:10:18.779
100%. It says here, the individuals facing scrutiny

00:10:18.779 --> 00:10:22.600
as represent Comer has expressed his intention

00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.960
to subpoena former Biden aides Annie Tomasini.

00:10:27.820 --> 00:10:30.320
Oh, I don't know. I don't know. Good question.

00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.879
Annie Tomasini, Anthony Bernal, Ashley Williams,

00:10:34.139 --> 00:10:36.799
who he claims ran interference and may have overseen

00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.940
the auto pen use. Damn. Anthony Bernal is also

00:10:39.940 --> 00:10:42.940
described as a confidant of a former First Lady

00:10:42.940 --> 00:10:47.659
Joe Biden. Okay, so if they subpoena texts and

00:10:47.659 --> 00:10:50.860
emails and they say stuff like, you know, how

00:10:50.860 --> 00:10:52.480
are we going to do this? You know, he doesn't,

00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.299
you know, let's just do it anyway. You know what

00:10:54.299 --> 00:10:56.200
I mean? If they can find a smoking gun. That's

00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:58.000
what I mean. Unless there's proof that this actually

00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.100
happened. Somehow they find this proof. And Biden

00:11:01.100 --> 00:11:02.919
comes out and says, no, I signed everything.

00:11:03.100 --> 00:11:05.580
I remember it. I just don't think. I don't know.

00:11:06.539 --> 00:11:08.960
It's the proof. It's the conspiracy. The conspiracy

00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:11.039
that they find is what happened. Whatever it

00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:15.009
is, it is. You can't go back and change what

00:11:15.009 --> 00:11:19.129
they allow to be legitimate or not. But it does

00:11:19.129 --> 00:11:21.629
kind of set the groundwork for what should be

00:11:21.629 --> 00:11:24.730
legitimate moving forward. Well, also, I think

00:11:24.730 --> 00:11:29.169
it lends itself to the behavior of the Democratic

00:11:29.169 --> 00:11:32.629
Party during that time. Yeah. They were doing

00:11:32.629 --> 00:11:36.169
anything and everything to stay in control. Yep.

00:11:36.169 --> 00:11:39.409
And Biden wasn't coherent enough to do some of

00:11:39.409 --> 00:11:40.850
this shit. So they're just like, oh, well, we're.

00:11:41.340 --> 00:11:44.200
We have this agenda, this, you know, and, you

00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:47.720
know, Sean, you talk about it, this. Blank check.

00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:51.100
Just this shadow government or whatever. I think

00:11:51.100 --> 00:11:53.179
there was a little one within the White House

00:11:53.179 --> 00:11:56.179
and this administration that did all this shit.

00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.899
Yeah. Where was Anne Rice? Not Anne Rice. The

00:11:58.899 --> 00:12:04.019
vampire author. Ah, ah, ah. Who is, what is it?

00:12:04.100 --> 00:12:07.659
Something, Janet Rice? Susan. Susan Rice. Yeah.

00:12:07.659 --> 00:12:11.669
She used to be the defense secretary. Susan Rice?

00:12:11.889 --> 00:12:13.970
Secretary of State. Secretary of Defense. Was

00:12:13.970 --> 00:12:15.789
it Defense? I don't know. She was one of those.

00:12:15.789 --> 00:12:18.090
I don't think so. I think it was State. But I

00:12:18.090 --> 00:12:19.950
don't know. Well, I mean, I thought she was.

00:12:19.950 --> 00:12:22.470
She was NSA. I thought she was smack dab in the

00:12:22.470 --> 00:12:25.330
middle of that stuff. And I actually kind of

00:12:25.330 --> 00:12:29.870
liked her. Well, this. This, currently. Like,

00:12:29.889 --> 00:12:32.370
she was there a lot. I'm kind of wondering. Oh,

00:12:32.429 --> 00:12:35.409
dude. There's so many unknowns. Who knows? You

00:12:35.409 --> 00:12:37.570
know, you got that. It's just terrifying, to

00:12:37.570 --> 00:12:39.950
be honest, that we could have a president that

00:12:39.950 --> 00:12:42.509
was not in control. And the thing is, you would

00:12:42.509 --> 00:12:44.429
expect something like this to happen in some

00:12:44.429 --> 00:12:47.730
other country 15, 20 years ago. You wouldn't

00:12:47.730 --> 00:12:50.149
expect this to happen less than six months ago,

00:12:50.230 --> 00:12:53.649
that they pulled the wool over everybody's eyes.

00:12:53.750 --> 00:12:56.330
They didn't, but they did. I mean, not us. And

00:12:56.330 --> 00:12:58.110
he got away with it. You go back and listen to

00:12:58.110 --> 00:13:00.149
our podcast. We were saying he is not in control.

00:13:00.350 --> 00:13:02.610
Jill is probably calling all the shots. We called

00:13:02.610 --> 00:13:05.409
elder abuse. Four years ago. Yeah, we called

00:13:05.409 --> 00:13:08.549
it out a while ago. Yeah, this is just like Woodrow

00:13:08.549 --> 00:13:12.929
Wilson, because he had a stroke. And his wife

00:13:12.929 --> 00:13:15.090
kept him shut on the way, and she ran the country

00:13:15.090 --> 00:13:19.470
for a while. Wow. Unbeknownst to anybody else.

00:13:19.710 --> 00:13:22.309
Seriously, it's like the movie Dave. Remember?

00:13:22.570 --> 00:13:24.389
Remember the movie Dave, where the president

00:13:24.389 --> 00:13:26.529
was sitting in a room in some dungeon somewhere,

00:13:26.750 --> 00:13:29.950
and this actor that they were running the country?

00:13:30.950 --> 00:13:36.799
Yes. Insane. Dave's not here. Yeah, crazy. So

00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:38.860
I'll tell you what, I don't know what they're

00:13:38.860 --> 00:13:40.279
going to do. I'm kind of curious how this is

00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:42.159
all going to play out. And frankly, I don't have

00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:44.879
a lot of confidence in our system. I can hope.

00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:46.840
I don't think anything will happen. I can hope.

00:13:47.220 --> 00:13:50.539
Yeah, we can hope. But just like throughout the

00:13:50.539 --> 00:13:53.340
years where they had all these things, you know,

00:13:53.419 --> 00:13:57.789
Clinton bleaching her server. The whole Benghazi

00:13:57.789 --> 00:14:00.210
thing. No accountability. Nothing. Nothing ever

00:14:00.210 --> 00:14:04.210
happens. Well, even now with Pash Patel that

00:14:04.210 --> 00:14:09.529
is taking over for the FBI, he even puts things

00:14:09.529 --> 00:14:12.429
out there with Joe Bongino or Dan Bongino saying

00:14:12.429 --> 00:14:15.210
that this is coming out. This is being looked

00:14:15.210 --> 00:14:17.070
at. This is being looked at. All these things

00:14:17.070 --> 00:14:20.149
are being looked at, but I don't see. The finality

00:14:20.149 --> 00:14:22.370
of it. Well, they also said it takes time. They

00:14:22.370 --> 00:14:23.970
said, you got to be patient. This is not something

00:14:23.970 --> 00:14:27.429
we could turn. Because I heard, I think it may

00:14:27.429 --> 00:14:30.750
have been Bongino, and he's like, yeah, we're

00:14:30.750 --> 00:14:32.549
looking at all this, but it takes time. We can't

00:14:32.549 --> 00:14:34.710
turn it as fast as a lot of people want. They

00:14:34.710 --> 00:14:36.389
did make an announcement that they thought for

00:14:36.389 --> 00:14:38.789
sure Epstein did truly kill himself, and that

00:14:38.789 --> 00:14:41.669
they have the receipts to prove it. So that's

00:14:41.669 --> 00:14:43.490
interesting. Yeah, but that's made a lot of people,

00:14:43.529 --> 00:14:45.029
I know, it's made a lot of people skeptical.

00:14:45.090 --> 00:14:47.149
Go ahead and show those receipts. Yeah, I don't

00:14:47.149 --> 00:14:49.730
think that's exactly what they said. I think

00:14:49.730 --> 00:14:52.210
what they said was that there wasn't evidence

00:14:52.210 --> 00:14:56.129
that... It couldn't prove that he didn't. Yeah,

00:14:56.149 --> 00:14:59.210
that's what it was, but still. There's the fact

00:14:59.210 --> 00:15:02.009
that the bunk beds are five feet off the ground.

00:15:02.190 --> 00:15:03.669
That's what somebody else was saying. I mean,

00:15:03.669 --> 00:15:06.269
come on. I mean, yeah, he may have hung himself,

00:15:06.370 --> 00:15:09.370
but they're going in there. You had two paramedics

00:15:09.370 --> 00:15:12.929
go in there, Jimmy and John the Fish, and they

00:15:12.929 --> 00:15:15.789
make it happen. They put a noose around his neck,

00:15:15.870 --> 00:15:18.190
make it... It's paper -thin freaking sheets.

00:15:18.669 --> 00:15:21.350
wrapped around his neck, string it up, whatever,

00:15:21.509 --> 00:15:23.649
man. I mean, I don't know either way. I wasn't

00:15:23.649 --> 00:15:25.769
there, but there's just a whole lot of bullshit.

00:15:25.769 --> 00:15:27.330
Well, they said they have the video. They're

00:15:27.330 --> 00:15:28.990
going to release the video. That's what they're

00:15:28.990 --> 00:15:30.950
saying right there. The video that they claim

00:15:30.950 --> 00:15:33.590
that they had based on what I heard shows nothing.

00:15:33.769 --> 00:15:37.529
All it shows is two people going in there and

00:15:37.529 --> 00:15:40.169
two people coming out, and it doesn't show anything

00:15:40.169 --> 00:15:42.809
else. Well, it shows, well. I don't know. Actually,

00:15:42.909 --> 00:15:45.269
two people going in there, the paramedics, and

00:15:45.269 --> 00:15:47.750
then coming out with the body. They said the

00:15:47.750 --> 00:15:51.490
video, Epstein is in there. He's the only one

00:15:51.490 --> 00:15:53.429
that goes in or out, and no one else goes in

00:15:53.429 --> 00:15:56.090
there. And then the paramedics show up. Man,

00:15:56.110 --> 00:15:57.899
look. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don't

00:15:57.899 --> 00:16:00.059
believe it. Well, I mean, like you said, these

00:16:00.059 --> 00:16:01.620
things do take time. I mean, there were some

00:16:01.620 --> 00:16:03.299
people that were criticizing Pam Bondi because

00:16:03.299 --> 00:16:05.059
it's like, no one's being arrested. You know

00:16:05.059 --> 00:16:07.259
how long it takes to build a case? I mean, look

00:16:07.259 --> 00:16:10.419
at JFK. Look at the JFK assassination. Well,

00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:13.299
he also said, you know, they've covered this

00:16:13.299 --> 00:16:16.179
up for so many years. We have to undo all of

00:16:16.179 --> 00:16:18.980
this. All of the political bullshit that they

00:16:18.980 --> 00:16:21.860
put on top of this stuff, they're having to undo

00:16:21.860 --> 00:16:24.039
all of that. Yeah, it's going to take time. Buried

00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:27.019
shit. Yeah, you got to give them some grace.

00:16:27.100 --> 00:16:31.179
It's never fast enough, but, you know. I just

00:16:31.179 --> 00:16:34.980
want them to finish up. Just do your jobs. Figure

00:16:34.980 --> 00:16:38.340
it out. Let's pick up these loose. I mean, he's

00:16:38.340 --> 00:16:40.519
only six months in, five months in. Exactly.

00:16:40.740 --> 00:16:44.059
God, doesn't it seem longer than that? I mean,

00:16:44.100 --> 00:16:46.539
there's been such a flurry of news every single

00:16:46.539 --> 00:16:50.179
day. It was like nuts. Speaking of nuts. Oh,

00:16:50.340 --> 00:16:54.519
God. What a horrible segue. Oh, wow. Do we want

00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:56.759
to talk about our weekend excursion? Yeah, sure.

00:16:56.820 --> 00:16:58.679
Why not? That was fun. Your broke back moment.

00:16:59.100 --> 00:17:03.220
I wish I knew how to quit you. Yeah. Well, so

00:17:03.220 --> 00:17:07.160
my wife has a friend and she's getting married

00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:11.319
and they got married about four hours away from

00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:13.019
where we currently live in Texas. So they live

00:17:13.019 --> 00:17:16.119
in South Texas, Brenham, Texas. And we traveled.

00:17:16.500 --> 00:17:21.099
We were traveling as a group because we had three,

00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:26.690
what was it? Six people. Paul and his wife, Shelly,

00:17:26.769 --> 00:17:31.269
and then me and my wife, Tara, and then Desiree,

00:17:31.269 --> 00:17:34.529
Tara's sister, and then my daughter, Emily. And

00:17:34.529 --> 00:17:38.289
the girls all rode in one car, and Paul and I

00:17:38.289 --> 00:17:40.589
were in the other car, and I was thinking, hell

00:17:40.589 --> 00:17:42.509
yeah, that's exactly the way I want this to go

00:17:42.509 --> 00:17:44.849
down. And I'll give you guys a little bit of

00:17:44.849 --> 00:17:48.829
background without... without saying too many

00:17:48.829 --> 00:17:51.049
things, but my wife has what they call agoraphobia.

00:17:51.190 --> 00:17:53.190
So she has a very, very difficult time traveling.

00:17:53.470 --> 00:17:55.609
So that was part of the reason why we separated

00:17:55.609 --> 00:17:57.730
because it may be a little bit easier for her

00:17:57.730 --> 00:18:01.369
to ride with her sister and with girls. Did she

00:18:01.369 --> 00:18:03.869
do okay? She did. She did pretty good getting

00:18:03.869 --> 00:18:05.569
up there. There was a little bit of drama, but

00:18:05.569 --> 00:18:08.569
she did well. And coming back, there was, I mean,

00:18:08.609 --> 00:18:12.150
dude, we took, so to get from College Station

00:18:12.150 --> 00:18:14.670
back to Dallas, what, three hours? Three hours.

00:18:14.670 --> 00:18:18.140
Three hours, 20 minutes at the most. Six hours.

00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:20.640
Yikes. So you stopped a lot. So you stopped a

00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:24.119
lot, huh? Oh, yeah. That's what it was. No. You

00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:27.900
go into the Google Maps and you select avoid

00:18:27.900 --> 00:18:32.500
tolls, avoid highways, and go. Avoid paved roads?

00:18:32.700 --> 00:18:37.980
No. A little horseback, yeah. Whatever. The Amish

00:18:37.980 --> 00:18:43.319
way. It was, frankly, I like, whenever I travel,

00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:45.319
I like taking the road less traveled, really.

00:18:45.420 --> 00:18:47.000
I love going out and going to the country. To

00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:48.900
me, it's a beautiful thing. I'm enjoying it.

00:18:49.140 --> 00:18:51.819
To me, it wasn't a big deal. You know, it is

00:18:51.819 --> 00:18:54.259
frustrating sometimes when, first of all, it's

00:18:54.259 --> 00:18:56.579
frustrating to have anyone say, oh, slow down.

00:18:56.700 --> 00:18:57.779
Oh, you're going to hit that car. And they're

00:18:57.779 --> 00:19:00.019
freaking out. You're like, please, you know,

00:19:00.019 --> 00:19:03.480
chill. But at the same time. My wife is tripping.

00:19:03.579 --> 00:19:05.279
You know, she can't control the way she feels.

00:19:05.339 --> 00:19:08.720
And so I can imagine how she feels because I'm

00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:11.480
sure she doesn't want to be a burden, you know,

00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:14.839
and she kind of harbors some. But she did well.

00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:17.220
All in all, she did well. It was a very long

00:19:17.220 --> 00:19:19.880
trip back. Yeah. It was a very long trip back.

00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:22.789
But, you know, we're back now. The wedding. So

00:19:22.789 --> 00:19:25.109
we go out there, and our function at the wedding

00:19:25.109 --> 00:19:26.589
was to participate, have fun with our friends.

00:19:26.630 --> 00:19:28.809
Well, at first, you guys decided to do a pit

00:19:28.809 --> 00:19:31.549
stop. We did on the way up there. So on the way

00:19:31.549 --> 00:19:35.349
up there, we went to the Balcones Distillery.

00:19:36.089 --> 00:19:39.730
Balcones. And I was rather surprised at some

00:19:39.730 --> 00:19:41.789
of the stuff they had there. First of all, they've

00:19:41.789 --> 00:19:44.130
got beer. Did not know that. Yeah, I noticed

00:19:44.130 --> 00:19:45.730
that. You were at Balcones, but you had a flight

00:19:45.730 --> 00:19:48.089
of beer. I was like, that doesn't make sense

00:19:48.089 --> 00:19:51.119
to me. They do. Yeah. So they had beer and they

00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:53.740
had rum that they don't sell in the stores, but

00:19:53.740 --> 00:19:57.119
they sell there. And they're rum. Yeah, 140 proof.

00:19:57.339 --> 00:19:59.359
Yeah, the rum is rather ballsy. Yeah, it was

00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:01.420
a hazmat. But it was. It wasn't. It was just

00:20:01.420 --> 00:20:03.839
kind of meh. I mean, it had a little bit of a

00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:07.400
fruit kind of. Just more of a burn than anything.

00:20:07.619 --> 00:20:10.599
No, no. It wasn't bad. No, it was actually good.

00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:14.059
In the rum world, I think it was a good one.

00:20:14.180 --> 00:20:17.490
You know, I'm not a huge rum person. But, you

00:20:17.490 --> 00:20:19.609
know, I think for the set of nuts it was. I mean,

00:20:19.630 --> 00:20:22.170
we've had. How much was a bottle of it? 60 bucks.

00:20:22.349 --> 00:20:25.269
Yeah. Yeah. That was tough. But we had Tom. I

00:20:25.269 --> 00:20:27.369
want to say Tom Parker, I think, from Total Wine.

00:20:27.490 --> 00:20:30.329
I recall him, the guy that's a doctor. Oh, yeah.

00:20:30.529 --> 00:20:34.109
So Tom had, he whipped out some rum for us in

00:20:34.109 --> 00:20:35.630
the past, right? Yeah, because we were. It was

00:20:35.630 --> 00:20:37.849
called Firewater. Yeah, that was ridiculous.

00:20:37.970 --> 00:20:40.569
We were like, you know, rums are pretty low proof.

00:20:40.730 --> 00:20:42.089
He's like, hey, you guys want to try some rum

00:20:42.089 --> 00:20:44.769
out? And you guys are like, oh, yeah. Well, no,

00:20:44.849 --> 00:20:46.529
it was a challenge, right? Because I was dogging

00:20:46.529 --> 00:20:48.250
rum for not being high proof. And he was like,

00:20:48.329 --> 00:20:55.049
oh, really? Step this way. Walk this way. This

00:20:55.049 --> 00:20:57.619
way. Yeah, exactly. That's the stuff that makes

00:20:57.619 --> 00:20:59.839
your teeth fall out. It was awful. Yeah, it was

00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:01.359
like you could run your car on it. Yeah, it was

00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:03.500
bad. I mean, it was gross. We tried to track

00:21:03.500 --> 00:21:05.640
Sean down. You got to try this. Oh, yeah. It

00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:07.660
was so good, Sean. Take a big, big, big, big

00:21:07.660 --> 00:21:09.500
drink. Yeah, you know what? I think that's one

00:21:09.500 --> 00:21:12.059
of the first time I declined. I smelled it and

00:21:12.059 --> 00:21:16.019
was like, no. No. Yeah, that's kind of how it

00:21:16.019 --> 00:21:17.700
was. Because I didn't smell actually what was

00:21:17.700 --> 00:21:20.980
in the mix. I smelled the nose hairs actually.

00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:25.180
Kind of sin? Yeah, they kind of. So they didn't

00:21:25.180 --> 00:21:28.400
have anything specific whiskey -wise that you

00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:30.440
could have gotten there? No, they had lineage.

00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:33.299
It was good stuff. Look, Balcones isn't bad.

00:21:33.460 --> 00:21:35.460
I'll tell you one thing I do like about them,

00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:37.819
and I think that we should draw more attention

00:21:37.819 --> 00:21:41.259
to, which I think we should. We have a lot of

00:21:41.259 --> 00:21:42.960
whiskeys out there from your trip, but there's

00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:44.859
a couple I'd like to start bringing into the

00:21:44.859 --> 00:21:47.500
light. Those are the single malts. They have

00:21:47.500 --> 00:21:49.940
some single malt whiskeys that are not Scotches

00:21:49.940 --> 00:21:52.140
because it's not in Scotland, but they're made

00:21:52.140 --> 00:21:56.779
in the same. ways that the scotch is made. And

00:21:56.779 --> 00:22:00.259
they have at least three single malts. And all

00:22:00.259 --> 00:22:02.220
three were fantastic. Do we have one out there?

00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:06.019
I don't know if we have the single malt. I don't

00:22:06.019 --> 00:22:08.279
know. We'll have to look. They have a very unique,

00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:11.420
and what makes it even more fun, on the way there,

00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:16.299
we were listening to, not chat GPT, but it was

00:22:16.299 --> 00:22:20.430
an AI. Maya. It was Maya. And we may have done

00:22:20.430 --> 00:22:22.630
her on the podcast before. Everyone was watching.

00:22:22.750 --> 00:22:25.869
Yes. But it was like, I mean, listening. You

00:22:25.869 --> 00:22:27.890
know, it was like, you know, because look, you

00:22:27.890 --> 00:22:29.950
can have full -blown conversations with her.

00:22:30.029 --> 00:22:32.289
Yeah. And there's none of this typing. And, you

00:22:32.289 --> 00:22:37.470
know, and her responses are being giddy. They're

00:22:37.470 --> 00:22:38.710
so realistic. Thinking about things. They're

00:22:38.710 --> 00:22:41.170
so realistic. Taking a deep sigh. Yeah, she takes

00:22:41.170 --> 00:22:46.369
a breath before she talks. I mean, you cannot

00:22:46.369 --> 00:22:48.890
tell it's not a person. It's crazy. And so we

00:22:48.890 --> 00:22:51.529
were asking her about the Balcones and giving

00:22:51.529 --> 00:22:53.529
a brief history. And she said she was talking

00:22:53.529 --> 00:22:56.450
about fire and how it broke out in some part

00:22:56.450 --> 00:22:59.569
of the building. And Paul, the barkeep, he was

00:22:59.569 --> 00:23:01.750
like, I'm not really sure about Paul with the

00:23:01.750 --> 00:23:04.029
white fingernails. I'm not really sure that I

00:23:04.029 --> 00:23:07.559
know about a fire. This is, you know, we. This

00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:09.680
building can't catch fire, but whatever. Yeah,

00:23:09.740 --> 00:23:12.700
he did not know of any fire that ever had burned

00:23:12.700 --> 00:23:14.319
at that thing. And so, you know, it makes you

00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:17.180
wonder if Maya was, you know, mistaken. Right.

00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:19.779
But she was right. Did you? I know, Sean. You

00:23:19.779 --> 00:23:22.579
asked about Rumble? Yeah. Yes, they did. They

00:23:22.579 --> 00:23:24.819
actually had Rumble there. Rumble's not available

00:23:24.819 --> 00:23:27.619
anymore. So they had Rumble there, but it's only

00:23:27.619 --> 00:23:31.160
for sampling until it's gone. And they said the

00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:33.680
reason why is because it just didn't fit into

00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:37.319
a category. that they thought they could sell.

00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:40.859
I didn't understand that answer. But did it sell?

00:23:41.140 --> 00:23:44.700
I thought it did. Well, did it sell? Obviously,

00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:46.460
it didn't. But you just couldn't categorize it?

00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:49.480
What was that category? Because it says it's

00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:52.900
not quite a scotch. I'm sorry. It's made out

00:23:52.900 --> 00:23:56.980
of figs and herbs and shit. It's got a lot of

00:23:56.980 --> 00:23:58.539
weird shit going on. We liked it, though, didn't

00:23:58.539 --> 00:24:02.339
we? Yeah, we did. I still have the hazmat. I

00:24:02.339 --> 00:24:04.240
think we still have some out there as well. Yeah.

00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:06.240
Well, you know, we ought to jump on that sometime.

00:24:06.500 --> 00:24:08.059
You know, it's good. I don't know if ours is

00:24:08.059 --> 00:24:10.420
as bad. It's high. It's not that. Icarus is $139.

00:24:10.700 --> 00:24:12.799
Well, it's still up, but still, $139 is good.

00:24:13.059 --> 00:24:15.539
Oh, yeah. So you mentioned the single malt. So,

00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:17.240
Chuck, can you go back down to that timeline

00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:20.059
real quick and click on the 2025? This was something

00:24:20.059 --> 00:24:21.680
that was really interesting, and I think you

00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:25.559
were kind of talking a little bit about that.

00:24:28.220 --> 00:24:30.720
American single malt is not scotch, like you

00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:33.160
said. Correct. And it didn't really have a category

00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:35.140
because there was no category for something that

00:24:35.140 --> 00:24:37.819
was a single malt that's not scotch. Well, it

00:24:37.819 --> 00:24:40.640
is now. They just created it. Yes. In January

00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:43.579
of this year, I don't know what organization

00:24:43.579 --> 00:24:47.559
did that. Is it say on there? It became an official.

00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:51.339
An official whiskey category after nearly a decade

00:24:51.339 --> 00:24:53.559
of dedication by the American Single Malt Whiskey

00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:56.259
Commission. It's the 4 -H Club that did it. The

00:24:56.259 --> 00:25:00.980
4 -H Club. Yes. Or the FFA. The FFA. Yeah. Anyway,

00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:05.039
that's huge, right? Because I think those distillers

00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:08.440
have always been fighting for some respect as

00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:11.200
a single malt maker, but it's not scotch. Or

00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:12.920
it can't be called scotch. And it's interesting

00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:16.259
because they take some of the barrels and casks

00:25:16.259 --> 00:25:18.680
from overseas. And they're bringing them over.

00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:23.140
Like Wolves. Wolves is fantastic. Single malt.

00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:25.980
Well, the rare characters are single malts that

00:25:25.980 --> 00:25:28.700
we have. Right. All of them? The two of them

00:25:28.700 --> 00:25:30.819
are. The two first ones are. Wow. So they can

00:25:30.819 --> 00:25:33.980
officially be called American single malts as

00:25:33.980 --> 00:25:36.059
a category. Yeah, obviously it's not on their

00:25:36.059 --> 00:25:38.420
bottle, but we can now. Yeah, we can now. But

00:25:38.420 --> 00:25:41.299
they're called single malts. They're good. They're

00:25:41.299 --> 00:25:45.299
desirable. I've got one called Ballers. It's

00:25:45.299 --> 00:25:47.940
either Baller or Ballers. It's got an Asian kind

00:25:47.940 --> 00:25:51.500
of background to it. It's good. It's great. And

00:25:51.500 --> 00:25:55.160
it's $40, $50. It's like $45, $48. Nice. Anyway,

00:25:55.220 --> 00:25:57.920
I just thought that was good for American single

00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:00.200
malt makers, right? They have a little bit of

00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:05.000
credibility. Yeah, I see a big future in the

00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:08.960
single malts. I mean, in Texas, I think, California

00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:11.259
has a big jump on this. I don't know what they're

00:26:11.259 --> 00:26:14.119
doing in Kentucky. About the single malts. Do

00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:17.220
they have a lot of Kentucky single malts? Well,

00:26:17.220 --> 00:26:19.599
I didn't notice any up there when I was up there.

00:26:20.579 --> 00:26:23.680
Doesn't mean they're not there. Yeah. So we hit

00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:28.420
the distillery. We had three samples of their

00:26:28.420 --> 00:26:33.240
spirits and then the four beer flights. Yeah,

00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:35.980
we went there. Crazy long time. No, we poked

00:26:35.980 --> 00:26:38.819
around. I got a business card, and I left my

00:26:38.819 --> 00:26:41.920
name and email address with our intention. And,

00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:44.019
you know, I think you just got to keep pounding

00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:45.799
them a little bit. And really, I don't think

00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:49.220
we've seen these guys at any local. Tastings.

00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:51.940
Yeah. Don't see them out and about. They don't

00:26:51.940 --> 00:26:53.500
really do a lot of marketing from what I understand.

00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:55.859
We did. Actually, when we were at Total Wine,

00:26:55.980 --> 00:26:59.859
there was a gentleman there from Balcones that

00:26:59.859 --> 00:27:03.019
was doing a tasting. Because I know we tried

00:27:03.019 --> 00:27:05.119
the, I don't know how you say it, the Cataleja

00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:07.819
or whatever. They had that there and the Mirador.

00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:11.480
Because I was not a fan of one of those. I couldn't

00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:14.799
remember. You didn't like the Brimstone. Well,

00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:18.599
that. I think it was either that one or the other

00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:21.220
one that I didn't care for. But he was like,

00:27:21.259 --> 00:27:24.000
this is great. And I didn't care for it. We're

00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:25.079
going to have to redress that. I don't remember

00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:26.420
which one it was, though. Is everything they

00:27:26.420 --> 00:27:28.859
do a single malt? Or do they have a bourbon?

00:27:30.380 --> 00:27:33.680
Do they? Now I'm confused. Baby Blue is a single

00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:36.400
malt. That's one of their top sellers. What's

00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:40.880
Brimstone? That's a corn whiskey. Smoked whiskey.

00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:44.940
That's not a bourbon. Not a bourbon. They got

00:27:44.940 --> 00:27:51.720
a rye. So in lineage is what? Single malt. Single

00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:54.619
malt. Well, it says, you know, Texas does, they

00:27:54.619 --> 00:27:59.579
do make bourbon. Texas pot still bourbon. Is

00:27:59.579 --> 00:28:04.359
that Texas one? Um, well, no, that's all single

00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:07.039
malt. Weird. Well, I mean, they may, they might

00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:08.680
have a different section of their website because

00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:10.740
they're just showing all their whiskey. No, it's,

00:28:10.740 --> 00:28:13.359
there's a corner. It says Texas, uh, pot still

00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:15.500
bourbon. That's what it is. It may not be there,

00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:18.359
but they sell, they sell it currently at total

00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:23.019
one. Okay. All right. Well, interesting. Anyway,

00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:25.759
so I'm carrying on with the story. So we did

00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:29.160
something Friday night first. Well, hold on.

00:28:29.220 --> 00:28:31.539
So, yeah, we get there, and mind you, you know,

00:28:31.539 --> 00:28:35.319
Paul and I, God bless, you know, we got a little

00:28:35.319 --> 00:28:38.380
buzz going, you know, so we end up going back

00:28:38.380 --> 00:28:40.039
to the hotel. What, going to sleep? We stopped

00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:42.599
at that little diner. Oh, yeah, we stopped. So,

00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:44.599
I mean, the girls are, like, they're moving along

00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:47.519
swimmingly. They were an hour ahead of us, apparently.

00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:50.299
Yeah. So, anyways, we end up stopping at the

00:28:50.299 --> 00:28:51.819
diner, which is kind of cool. I love these little

00:28:51.819 --> 00:28:58.359
dive shacks. We really got a taste of rural.

00:28:58.859 --> 00:29:01.079
Like, the people that are coming in for Friday

00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:04.059
dinner, all these old folks that work the farms

00:29:04.059 --> 00:29:06.000
in the area, right? Look at those city folks

00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:13.119
over there. Totally. I mean, they were 100%.

00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:16.759
Looking at you? No. Sizing you up, going, what

00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:19.220
are these? Oh, yeah. There was a little bit of

00:29:19.220 --> 00:29:21.680
that. Yeah. These city folk. Oh, dude, when we

00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:23.339
were sending pictures, you said, like, send a

00:29:23.339 --> 00:29:25.380
picture of a couple women or the women folk up

00:29:25.380 --> 00:29:27.319
here. Dude, I sent you. Well, that's where the

00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:31.420
ladies are. I bet your wives. Oh. Not the ladies

00:29:31.420 --> 00:29:34.559
where you are. That's hilarious. So we showed

00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:37.279
you. That's what I said. It looks like you're

00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:39.420
branching out some. Right. I mean, and even the

00:29:39.420 --> 00:29:41.299
place we went to later that night was another

00:29:41.299 --> 00:29:44.839
taste of rural. Diabetes convention. Old. I mean,

00:29:44.859 --> 00:29:47.240
no, they were old couples that, you know. Did

00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:50.250
you get some chicken fried steak? I think...

00:29:50.250 --> 00:29:52.069
Some grits and some greens. I forgot what we

00:29:52.069 --> 00:29:54.230
got. I don't know what I got. Did you get a nice

00:29:54.230 --> 00:29:57.990
dessert? Coconut cream pie? No. Apparently, we

00:29:57.990 --> 00:29:59.769
didn't have the experience that you were expecting

00:29:59.769 --> 00:30:02.470
at this diner. You're throwing out all sorts

00:30:02.470 --> 00:30:03.230
of expectations. You're thinking all these country

00:30:03.230 --> 00:30:05.470
diners. That's what I'm thinking of. What was

00:30:05.470 --> 00:30:08.009
cool about it was the entire place was lined

00:30:08.009 --> 00:30:11.390
with little pictures of veterans. So they had

00:30:11.390 --> 00:30:15.190
a massive kind of into... What was the name of

00:30:15.190 --> 00:30:20.190
the place? Do you remember? 77... 77 or 77 Diner.

00:30:20.289 --> 00:30:21.490
I don't know. Something like that. Where at?

00:30:21.869 --> 00:30:26.069
Off of Highway 77. That's the best. That's literally

00:30:26.069 --> 00:30:30.029
the best I can do. Yeah. It's by Rosebud, Texas.

00:30:30.289 --> 00:30:35.470
Oh, there we go. Rosebud. So they did have tons

00:30:35.470 --> 00:30:39.029
and tons of pictures of dudes on the wall. The

00:30:39.029 --> 00:30:42.230
veterans. Yes. I mean, like a crazy amount of

00:30:42.230 --> 00:30:44.650
them. Yeah, and they're labeled, so they have,

00:30:44.650 --> 00:30:47.029
like, names or numbers under them, and you refer

00:30:47.029 --> 00:30:49.970
to that number in a three -ring binder, and it

00:30:49.970 --> 00:30:51.710
tells you their story. Yeah, I asked for the

00:30:51.710 --> 00:30:53.250
binder, and I was kind of looking through, and,

00:30:53.269 --> 00:30:54.990
yeah, they were – I mean, it was mainly just

00:30:54.990 --> 00:30:56.890
where they served and what their names were,

00:30:56.990 --> 00:31:00.490
but it's just a total, like, a memorial diner.

00:31:00.809 --> 00:31:03.569
I mean, really, it was crazy. It was really cool,

00:31:03.630 --> 00:31:08.680
though. But then later we went to the – Tanny

00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:10.940
Market? Candy Market? Candy Store? So, yeah,

00:31:10.980 --> 00:31:13.640
we get back to the hotel, and we get there around

00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:15.819
2 -ish, right? 2, 3, 4? We get there around 4

00:31:15.819 --> 00:31:18.920
-ish. I took a nap. Yeah, he took a nap, and...

00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:21.380
That's what we do now. Well, hell, I took a nap,

00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:27.059
too. Dude, I got back to the hotel, and I laid

00:31:27.059 --> 00:31:28.910
my... Sleeping bag out, of course, you know,

00:31:28.930 --> 00:31:31.369
and got all my accoutrements set up. He put his

00:31:31.369 --> 00:31:33.910
full body condom. Dude, man, I got in my sleeping

00:31:33.910 --> 00:31:37.509
bag, and I put my CPAP machine on, put the sleeping

00:31:37.509 --> 00:31:40.250
bag over my eyes. For your nap? Yes. You use

00:31:40.250 --> 00:31:42.390
a CPAP machine for your nap? Every time I sleep,

00:31:42.410 --> 00:31:43.670
I put that thing on. Oh, gosh, that's funny.

00:31:43.890 --> 00:31:45.490
So he's all wrapped up in this, and he's got

00:31:45.490 --> 00:31:48.759
his little. Oh, man. I was out. I was out for

00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:51.660
a good healthy hour, hour and 15 minutes. It

00:31:51.660 --> 00:31:54.539
was awesome. And I wake up fantastic. And I'm

00:31:54.539 --> 00:31:56.039
just like, oh, let's get going. Let's get rolling.

00:31:56.339 --> 00:31:59.759
And Paul goes over to Paul's room and knock on

00:31:59.759 --> 00:32:01.859
the door. And Shelly's like, she's talking in

00:32:01.859 --> 00:32:03.240
a low voice, trying to fuck with me a little

00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:05.700
bit. I thought it was Paul. And then so she opens

00:32:05.700 --> 00:32:07.779
up the door. She's brushing her teeth. And I'm

00:32:07.779 --> 00:32:09.460
like, oh, I'll go fuck with Paul. And Paul's

00:32:09.460 --> 00:32:10.960
over there. And I thought he was acting like

00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:14.319
he was asleep. I passed out. I'm having a wonderful

00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:17.059
nap. Oh, he comes laying on you. Oh, dude. He

00:32:17.059 --> 00:32:19.079
assaulted me. I crawl up behind him and start

00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:24.339
spooning him. I think I felt a poke. I don't

00:32:24.339 --> 00:32:25.619
know what the hell was going on. I was like,

00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:29.400
what? Who's on top of me right now? He thought

00:32:29.400 --> 00:32:33.190
it was Shelly. Oh, she's got her strap on. Wow,

00:32:33.329 --> 00:32:37.509
you've gained some weight, Shelly. Again. Whatever.

00:32:38.950 --> 00:32:42.190
Anyway. So we go to this place called Kenny's

00:32:42.190 --> 00:32:44.069
Store, the Kenny's Store, and it's south of Branham,

00:32:44.089 --> 00:32:47.369
Texas, in about 15, 20 minutes. It's an outdoor

00:32:47.369 --> 00:32:50.569
venue. All these old couples. It was so cool.

00:32:50.589 --> 00:32:52.890
But it's a nice place. In fact, it's so nice.

00:32:52.950 --> 00:32:54.650
You know who was playing there Saturday night?

00:32:55.509 --> 00:33:02.470
Ted Nugent. Isn't that crazy? I was going to

00:33:02.470 --> 00:33:05.910
say George Strait. Ted fucking Nugent was playing

00:33:05.910 --> 00:33:09.250
there Saturday night. Yes. How crazy is that?

00:33:09.410 --> 00:33:14.309
That is crazy. I highly recommend it. They had

00:33:14.309 --> 00:33:17.150
a good band playing. They had some good food.

00:33:17.269 --> 00:33:20.109
I ordered some giblets, I think it's called.

00:33:20.410 --> 00:33:25.289
It was like a ribeye that was cut. It's fantastic,

00:33:25.529 --> 00:33:27.930
man. It's cool. The band was really good. There's

00:33:27.930 --> 00:33:30.259
country music and all the... I actually danced

00:33:30.259 --> 00:33:33.539
with Tara, but we got a little bit toasty. Yeah,

00:33:33.660 --> 00:33:35.299
the next day he's like, Kenny? He's like, oh,

00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:37.980
my God, I'm so hungover. I was hungover, dude.

00:33:38.059 --> 00:33:39.900
I was hungover, which kind of leads into this

00:33:39.900 --> 00:33:44.240
next conversation. So the next day I have a responsibility.

00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:48.900
I told the bride, hey, look, she was like, Sean,

00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:50.779
can you bring some of your speakers over and

00:33:50.779 --> 00:33:52.799
set it up for the DJ? And I was like, I'll bring

00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:56.140
some stuff over. So I bring it over, and I talk

00:33:56.140 --> 00:33:59.839
to Cody, who is the groom. And he's like, oh,

00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:03.079
yeah, he's got a pretty big speaker. It's a JBL,

00:34:03.259 --> 00:34:06.400
and it's designed for it to do this. I was like,

00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:09.340
all right, cool. So speakers like that talk to

00:34:09.340 --> 00:34:11.920
each other. Pro audio speakers talk to each other.

00:34:12.940 --> 00:34:15.019
XLRs, quarter -inch, you can daisy -chain them

00:34:15.019 --> 00:34:17.260
to infinity. Actually, that's not true. It's

00:34:17.260 --> 00:34:20.760
like 220, but that doesn't matter. He has the

00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:25.179
residential version. So it has... All the hookups,

00:34:25.179 --> 00:34:28.760
except for XLR and quarter inch. So, you know,

00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:33.719
all I needed was a little tiny adapter. All right?

00:34:33.719 --> 00:34:37.199
So it's like what we use for our headsets. And

00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:40.440
Brenham is just not the IT technical. Not at

00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:43.340
all. We get every radio shack they had. We went

00:34:43.340 --> 00:34:46.239
to Walmart, and I ended up buying some liquid

00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:49.739
IV. Yep. And Paul kind of spilled it all over

00:34:49.739 --> 00:34:51.800
my car and managed to get some in the bottle.

00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:53.840
Because he's like, turning here, turning here,

00:34:53.940 --> 00:34:56.960
switching lanes. I mean, going over bumps and

00:34:56.960 --> 00:34:58.360
shit. That's not true at all. We were still.

00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:02.739
We weren't even moving when he did that. Yes.

00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:06.780
We used high stepping. Yeah. No, no. I wasn't

00:35:06.780 --> 00:35:09.460
doing that. So I slammed the liquid IV, all right?

00:35:10.019 --> 00:35:12.739
And I shit you not, five minutes later, my brain

00:35:12.739 --> 00:35:18.230
fog kind of clears, and I'm like, Adapters are

00:35:18.230 --> 00:35:20.250
in my bag. Okay, hold on. This is after we went

00:35:20.250 --> 00:35:26.570
to Lowe's, Walmart, HEB, some little cell phone

00:35:26.570 --> 00:35:28.829
store. We stopped some people in the parking

00:35:28.829 --> 00:35:30.610
lot and talked to them and asked them if they

00:35:30.610 --> 00:35:33.829
knew anywhere. I called a place called Dream

00:35:33.829 --> 00:35:35.989
Studio. Yeah, it's a recording studio. Yeah.

00:35:36.230 --> 00:35:38.610
Do you have any adapters? He's like, I'm in Nashville.

00:35:38.750 --> 00:35:40.849
I can't help you right now. But man, yeah, sure.

00:35:41.150 --> 00:35:43.510
I was there. I was like, anyway, it was crazy.

00:35:43.590 --> 00:35:45.110
Just give me the code to your door. Come on.

00:35:45.190 --> 00:35:47.730
So we finally are leaving the last place. And

00:35:47.730 --> 00:35:49.050
I was like, man, we gave it our best effort.

00:35:49.150 --> 00:35:53.710
And here's genius IV, liquid IV man. Wait a second.

00:35:54.369 --> 00:35:57.610
I think I've got one. Yeah. Dude, that's a testimony

00:35:57.610 --> 00:36:00.329
to liquid IV, man. As soon as I did it, the fog

00:36:00.329 --> 00:36:03.250
was out. So he goes to the back. I'm sitting

00:36:03.250 --> 00:36:04.469
in the passenger seat. And he comes back. And

00:36:04.469 --> 00:36:10.059
he's like, look. And I'm like, fuck you. It was

00:36:10.059 --> 00:36:12.119
a good experience, though. Oh, we know every

00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:15.300
inch of Brenham now. Oh, yeah. We're 40s now.

00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:16.820
And all the stores are just talking, you know,

00:36:16.820 --> 00:36:19.440
did you get those two gays? Yeah. What's up with

00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:22.619
those two gay people from the city? I'm looking

00:36:22.619 --> 00:36:24.550
for that damn adapter. So we went over there,

00:36:24.590 --> 00:36:29.210
turned it up. All in all, everything was successful.

00:36:29.409 --> 00:36:31.769
I think prior to the wedding, we actually went

00:36:31.769 --> 00:36:33.510
back out, didn't we? Yeah, we went downtown,

00:36:33.670 --> 00:36:35.389
had a couple beers. So we went down to Brenham,

00:36:35.389 --> 00:36:37.409
Texas, and we hit a liquor store down there.

00:36:38.190 --> 00:36:41.010
Anything exciting in there? They actually had

00:36:41.010 --> 00:36:43.989
some. They had Buffalo Trace, Weller's, Green

00:36:43.989 --> 00:36:46.929
Label. They had actually a pretty complete selection.

00:36:47.909 --> 00:36:51.090
Yeah, for what it is. No unicorns, but a complete

00:36:51.090 --> 00:36:53.869
selection of just about all the stuff that we

00:36:53.869 --> 00:36:55.309
would say, oh, that's good. That's good stuff.

00:36:55.610 --> 00:36:57.489
Yeah. But they were wanting a little bit too

00:36:57.489 --> 00:36:59.309
much for it. What was the name of it? Do you

00:36:59.309 --> 00:37:01.750
recall? I think it was 1844 Liquor Mart. That's

00:37:01.750 --> 00:37:05.050
it. Yeah. Yeah, that's it. That's exactly it.

00:37:05.210 --> 00:37:07.210
And that dude was talking to me. I think you

00:37:07.210 --> 00:37:09.849
could tell he was like, no one ever talks to

00:37:09.849 --> 00:37:12.349
him maybe. Yeah. About bourbon or just in general?

00:37:12.369 --> 00:37:14.829
In general. In general. And we were poking all

00:37:14.829 --> 00:37:17.579
the right buttons. You know, it was... Did he

00:37:17.579 --> 00:37:20.699
samples for you? We didn't really ask for any.

00:37:20.780 --> 00:37:22.239
Dude, we didn't really need any, honestly. Did

00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:24.519
they sell like lotions as well? I don't think

00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:27.000
that was a lotion. What was that you're looking

00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:30.639
at? Looks like some lotions or something. No,

00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:34.969
no. Not right there. Oh, actually, that... I

00:37:34.969 --> 00:37:37.010
don't know if that's... I never saw that. That

00:37:37.010 --> 00:37:39.150
wasn't there when we were there. Yeah, there's

00:37:39.150 --> 00:37:40.869
no shampoo there. Sean went in the back room

00:37:40.869 --> 00:37:43.250
for a long time with this guy. It rubs the lotion

00:37:43.250 --> 00:37:45.730
on its skin. It does this whenever it's told.

00:37:46.130 --> 00:37:50.889
I don't know. I don't know what they were doing

00:37:50.889 --> 00:37:52.530
back there, but they were washing their hands.

00:37:52.630 --> 00:37:53.909
They came out and they smelled like lavender.

00:37:54.190 --> 00:37:58.809
I would tell you. Sean was all sweaty. Downtown

00:37:58.809 --> 00:38:02.650
was kind of cool. It was like a typical eclectic...

00:38:04.300 --> 00:38:07.940
Old school country Texas town. You know, the

00:38:07.940 --> 00:38:10.219
four square, you know what I mean? Right next

00:38:10.219 --> 00:38:13.019
to the liquor store, like on the other side of

00:38:13.019 --> 00:38:16.260
that brick wall, there was, what was it called?

00:38:17.300 --> 00:38:21.260
The water place? Oh, that little park that had

00:38:21.260 --> 00:38:26.139
a aquifer? Not an aquifer. What do you call a,

00:38:26.139 --> 00:38:30.599
where you capture rainwater? Rainwater capture?

00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:33.969
No, that's not it. Any other guesses? A rainwater

00:38:33.969 --> 00:38:38.489
capture... Like a rain garden? No. No. That's

00:38:38.489 --> 00:38:40.849
it right there. What is that little... It's a

00:38:40.849 --> 00:38:44.489
fountain. No, no. It was a big... It's deep.

00:38:44.570 --> 00:38:46.710
It's like a well. And what they do is they capture

00:38:46.710 --> 00:38:49.329
water from all these places and they funnel it

00:38:49.329 --> 00:38:51.650
into this thing. It's called a well. Oh, my God.

00:38:51.730 --> 00:38:55.619
No, it wasn't. A cistern. Thank you. It's called

00:38:55.619 --> 00:38:58.139
a cistern. We don't use that word anymore. I

00:38:58.139 --> 00:39:01.159
know. That's old. So what it says is water conservation

00:39:01.159 --> 00:39:03.820
is a growing concern today, especially in Texas

00:39:03.820 --> 00:39:06.239
with droughts and long, hot summers. With ever

00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:08.139
-increasing populations and decreasing water

00:39:08.139 --> 00:39:11.079
resources, it makes perfect sense to look to

00:39:11.079 --> 00:39:14.519
the skies for help. the centuries -old practice

00:39:14.519 --> 00:39:16.380
of harvesting rainwater. It's why it's spread

00:39:16.380 --> 00:39:18.500
around the world. Essentially, what they've done

00:39:18.500 --> 00:39:21.119
is they harvest the rainwater from all the rooftops.

00:39:21.219 --> 00:39:23.519
It hits this thing, and that thing goes underground.

00:39:23.619 --> 00:39:26.039
There's a pump that's constantly running, and

00:39:26.039 --> 00:39:31.219
it was kind of cool. I don't know why more towns

00:39:31.219 --> 00:39:33.059
don't do that. Yeah, they should all do that.

00:39:33.099 --> 00:39:35.579
Capture all of that. Well, part of it is some

00:39:35.579 --> 00:39:37.880
of they, you know, they're like. big cities and

00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:40.000
everything, some of this is used to fill up the

00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:42.039
reservoirs. So if you're trying to capture all

00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:44.420
this water, it could impact your reservoirs if

00:39:44.420 --> 00:39:46.840
you do it at a big scale, I guess. On the left

00:39:46.840 --> 00:39:49.659
of the cistern, if you move over just a little

00:39:49.659 --> 00:39:51.940
bit, there's a little bench right there. On that

00:39:51.940 --> 00:39:54.619
little bench, I had a little Jack Daniels mini.

00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:57.400
Yeah, so we picked up, I picked up a six -pack

00:39:57.400 --> 00:40:00.820
of Jack Daniels minis there. It was open carry,

00:40:00.940 --> 00:40:03.039
open carry everywhere in this downtown area.

00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:04.800
Oh, and we had a couple pray, we had some people

00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:07.150
pray for us. Yes, they did. That was really odd.

00:40:07.190 --> 00:40:09.210
Because you're drinking with the cistern? No,

00:40:09.210 --> 00:40:11.730
they saw Paul. They were like, oh, my God, this

00:40:11.730 --> 00:40:14.210
guy needs some fucking help. I was getting a

00:40:14.210 --> 00:40:15.949
little nervous because I wasn't sure what Sean

00:40:15.949 --> 00:40:20.110
was going to be Sean and say something that would

00:40:20.110 --> 00:40:23.730
offend them. I did, too. But they were opening

00:40:23.730 --> 00:40:26.610
up a new church. I'm not really sure. And they

00:40:26.610 --> 00:40:28.550
were walking around the square trying to get

00:40:28.550 --> 00:40:31.750
people enticed to share what's going on. And

00:40:31.750 --> 00:40:34.230
the lady asked, like you said, it takes balls

00:40:34.230 --> 00:40:36.389
to do that kind of stuff. and they prayed for

00:40:36.389 --> 00:40:38.869
us. It was fun. She said, do you mind if I try

00:40:38.869 --> 00:40:42.389
to dispel the demon from you, Sean? She knew

00:40:42.389 --> 00:40:46.110
his name. Knew his name. Yeah, we end up... God,

00:40:46.110 --> 00:40:47.969
man, we got a lot to go through here. So they

00:40:47.969 --> 00:40:50.269
prayed for us. They did. She was like, there's

00:40:50.269 --> 00:40:55.610
no Sean here. Only dickhead. So we end up going

00:40:55.610 --> 00:40:57.769
to this steakhouse of all places because we were

00:40:57.769 --> 00:40:59.250
looking for a beer. We just got done drinking,

00:40:59.369 --> 00:41:02.900
you know, the... banana -tasting Jack Daniels

00:41:02.900 --> 00:41:06.639
in the mini, and we need something to eat. Let's

00:41:06.639 --> 00:41:09.139
go in a beer. So we hit this one place, and we

00:41:09.139 --> 00:41:12.760
see a couple that is in the wedding party. So

00:41:12.760 --> 00:41:14.360
I'm like, oh, shit. Hey, how you guys doing?

00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:16.300
We sat there, had a drink, and then we looked

00:41:16.300 --> 00:41:18.900
at the prices of the food, and they were like,

00:41:18.960 --> 00:41:20.980
yeah, it's fucking ridiculous. I'm not paying

00:41:20.980 --> 00:41:24.239
you. So we went up the street, and we had TJ's?

00:41:24.460 --> 00:41:27.099
Lone Star Steakhouse. Yeah, it was nice. We ate

00:41:27.099 --> 00:41:30.150
a steak. And cheese sandwich. It was honestly

00:41:30.150 --> 00:41:33.510
one of the best Philly cheesesteaks or cheesesteaks

00:41:33.510 --> 00:41:36.789
I have ever had. It was tremendous. Did it have

00:41:36.789 --> 00:41:39.969
like Cheez Whiz on it? I don't think it was Cheez

00:41:39.969 --> 00:41:42.469
Whiz. That's what Philadelphia uses. No, it was

00:41:42.469 --> 00:41:45.010
not. Cheez Whiz? Yeah. Do they really? Yeah.

00:41:45.070 --> 00:41:47.449
That's gross. It is. That is kind of gross. It

00:41:47.449 --> 00:41:49.449
was outstanding. Yeah, it was good. If anybody's

00:41:49.449 --> 00:41:51.329
ever at the Lone Star, is it? I thought it was

00:41:51.329 --> 00:41:53.670
Lone Star Steakhouse. Did I get that wrong? I

00:41:53.670 --> 00:41:55.309
thought it was JT's. It's Lone Star Southern

00:41:55.309 --> 00:41:59.159
Grill. No, it's something steakhouse. in the

00:41:59.159 --> 00:42:02.400
downtown area. How many Lone Star Steakhouse?

00:42:02.739 --> 00:42:05.980
I thought that was TJ's or LT's. It might have

00:42:05.980 --> 00:42:09.179
been Longhorn Steakhouse. Well, they have those

00:42:09.179 --> 00:42:12.059
here. Yeah, there is Longhorn Steakhouse. Brenham,

00:42:12.059 --> 00:42:15.650
there it is. We went in there. We had a couple

00:42:15.650 --> 00:42:17.929
beers. We had a steak sandwich. And then we start

00:42:17.929 --> 00:42:21.849
looking over at his whiskey selection. And we're

00:42:21.849 --> 00:42:24.650
just like, no, we don't want any. We just want

00:42:24.650 --> 00:42:26.150
to kind of look at it, see what you got, and

00:42:26.150 --> 00:42:30.909
kind of ask the bartender how he felt about it

00:42:30.909 --> 00:42:32.929
and just kind of explain it. And then Paul sees

00:42:32.929 --> 00:42:36.889
the 10 -year. Eagle Rare. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's

00:42:36.889 --> 00:42:38.329
where the text came from? Yeah, and I was like,

00:42:38.389 --> 00:42:41.409
oh, fuck Eagle Rare. It's overrated. I rated

00:42:41.409 --> 00:42:45.010
it a 3 .9. It's a 3 .8. I rated it a 3 .8. That's

00:42:45.010 --> 00:42:47.949
so ridiculous. But I did. I did. I rated it a

00:42:47.949 --> 00:42:49.690
3 .8. I wasn't impressed with it. I'm still not

00:42:49.690 --> 00:42:51.730
impressed with it. The guy gave us a sample for

00:42:51.730 --> 00:42:53.670
free. I said, you know what? I'll raise it to

00:42:53.670 --> 00:42:57.309
a 5 .2. but not a penny higher. I don't know

00:42:57.309 --> 00:42:59.289
why. I think you're emotionally involved on that

00:42:59.289 --> 00:43:01.409
one. No, why would I be? I know what you said

00:43:01.409 --> 00:43:04.909
because I'm... You're contrarian. Yeah, I'm contrarian,

00:43:04.909 --> 00:43:06.969
but that's not the case at all, man. Look, we

00:43:06.969 --> 00:43:08.889
all have our opinions on how we feel about different

00:43:08.889 --> 00:43:11.949
whiskeys. They're the ones I don't like. Maybe

00:43:11.949 --> 00:43:13.469
he doesn't like that one for whatever reason.

00:43:13.510 --> 00:43:14.929
Maybe there's something weird in it that he doesn't

00:43:14.929 --> 00:43:16.789
like. Yeah, I don't know. Like this one here.

00:43:16.849 --> 00:43:19.190
This one's got some weird juice going on here.

00:43:20.110 --> 00:43:23.030
I finished mine. Oh, well, look at you, Mr. Not

00:43:23.030 --> 00:43:25.590
Working Tomorrow Morning. Yeah, I'm not working

00:43:25.590 --> 00:43:27.949
tomorrow morning. Good for you, man. Oh, Jesus,

00:43:28.070 --> 00:43:30.510
man. So, all right, we had steak there. We went

00:43:30.510 --> 00:43:32.289
to the wedding that night. Wedding was a blast,

00:43:32.510 --> 00:43:36.570
a success. DJ, the dude that was DJing, you know,

00:43:36.610 --> 00:43:40.489
the DJ out there, he was kind of a, I don't know

00:43:40.489 --> 00:43:43.349
how old he was. I think he was a little bit older

00:43:43.349 --> 00:43:45.630
than us, maybe a generation, because the type

00:43:45.630 --> 00:43:47.809
of music he was playing is probably a generation

00:43:47.809 --> 00:43:51.969
after. Or before I was DJing. Like a Burt Bacharach

00:43:51.969 --> 00:44:04.650
type of music. It was just a different era. Before

00:44:04.650 --> 00:44:09.449
they had video. Yeah. But he was picking good,

00:44:09.469 --> 00:44:11.349
solid music. I'm not throwing stones at him at

00:44:11.349 --> 00:44:14.889
all. The whole night was great. I mean, I chose

00:44:14.889 --> 00:44:17.530
not to. Oh, my God. Paul was drunk. I'm sorry.

00:44:17.690 --> 00:44:22.619
Actually, I wasn't. Wow. I wasn't. I believe

00:44:22.619 --> 00:44:26.079
you. I had absolutely no hangover the next day,

00:44:26.099 --> 00:44:28.159
so explain that if I was shit -faced drunk. I

00:44:28.159 --> 00:44:30.820
think that you're an excellent drinker. Interesting.

00:44:31.199 --> 00:44:34.199
Dude, you were drinking a lot. Dude, I was toasty,

00:44:34.280 --> 00:44:36.340
and I waited to the very end of the night to

00:44:36.340 --> 00:44:39.000
drink. And I had like three drinks, three gallons

00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:41.380
of drinks. Because he was inside in the air conditioning

00:44:41.380 --> 00:44:43.840
the whole time. I was struggling. He got you.

00:44:43.980 --> 00:44:47.289
Yeah, it was hot out there. It was hot. And I'm

00:44:47.289 --> 00:44:50.050
just, I can't handle it, man. I went inside.

00:44:50.250 --> 00:44:52.769
I can't handle the heat, man. Well, Julie showed

00:44:52.769 --> 00:44:56.070
me her weather app. It was 88 out. Feels like

00:44:56.070 --> 00:44:59.449
104. Yeah, it was hot. Nailed it. And if they

00:44:59.449 --> 00:45:02.289
had just waited one hour. I mean, the sun was

00:45:02.289 --> 00:45:05.110
beating down from 6 to 7, pretty fierce. If they

00:45:05.110 --> 00:45:07.510
had just waited until 7 and started the wedding

00:45:07.510 --> 00:45:09.170
then, it would have been, I think, much better.

00:45:09.250 --> 00:45:10.610
But everybody was just like. And you're in a

00:45:10.610 --> 00:45:13.989
suit? Drenched. No, it was casual. So you could

00:45:13.989 --> 00:45:16.539
wear shorts? No, I mean, I had slacks on and

00:45:16.539 --> 00:45:18.920
a golf shirt or something like that. But still,

00:45:19.019 --> 00:45:20.599
when it's hot out, you don't want to be in slacks.

00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:24.159
Yeah. Well, whatever. It was a lot of fun, though.

00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:26.820
All in all, yeah. That's good. It was a good

00:45:26.820 --> 00:45:30.300
visit, good friends, good times. Now, do they

00:45:30.300 --> 00:45:33.659
live down there now? They will. He lives there.

00:45:33.820 --> 00:45:36.940
Okay. Yeah, he's been there for 12 years or something

00:45:36.940 --> 00:45:38.500
like that. I think that's the plan. She's going

00:45:38.500 --> 00:45:40.400
to move down there at some point. I don't know

00:45:40.400 --> 00:45:42.679
when. So, scroll out somewhere. I want to see

00:45:42.679 --> 00:45:44.719
where Brenham is in relation to anything else.

00:45:46.179 --> 00:45:49.619
So, Brenham is about 45 minutes south of College

00:45:49.619 --> 00:45:52.579
Station. Almost due south, yeah. And about an

00:45:52.579 --> 00:45:57.760
hour from Houston. Yep. Hour 15 minutes, actually,

00:45:57.780 --> 00:46:02.019
from Houston. All right. All right. Got it. Cool.

00:46:02.780 --> 00:46:07.039
Yeah, it was fun. And then you came back, what,

00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:09.840
Sunday? Yeah, we were back Sunday by like...

00:46:10.030 --> 00:46:12.309
You know, late afternoon. I imagine you visited

00:46:12.309 --> 00:46:14.329
Preston and then came back. Yeah, we went to

00:46:14.329 --> 00:46:17.190
go see Preston, hung out with him, you know,

00:46:17.190 --> 00:46:19.570
watched movies all night. By the way, we watched

00:46:19.570 --> 00:46:23.289
a movie called Mickey 17. Oh, where the guy keeps

00:46:23.289 --> 00:46:27.170
dying. I watched that. Oh, is it good? Not good.

00:46:27.349 --> 00:46:31.849
Painful. So it's bad. Is it like a comedy? It's

00:46:31.849 --> 00:46:33.909
supposed to be a comedy. I recommend you watch

00:46:33.909 --> 00:46:37.190
it just for the experience, but it did not sit

00:46:37.190 --> 00:46:39.210
well with me. I was just kind of like, this is.

00:46:39.530 --> 00:46:41.329
So he just died over and over and over again?

00:46:41.510 --> 00:46:45.750
I don't want to... Yes. You get that from the

00:46:45.750 --> 00:46:47.309
previews. That's all I know about it. So he's

00:46:47.309 --> 00:46:49.429
what they call... They have a job. He's an expendable,

00:46:49.449 --> 00:46:52.090
right? Yeah, he's called an expendable. But it

00:46:52.090 --> 00:46:53.869
goes a little bit deeper than that. These guys

00:46:53.869 --> 00:46:57.070
go on Earth. I believe it's on Earth. He and

00:46:57.070 --> 00:47:01.389
another guy get money from some dude, and they

00:47:01.389 --> 00:47:04.750
open up a restaurant. The restaurant doesn't

00:47:04.750 --> 00:47:07.650
make it, and they owe this guy lots of money.

00:47:08.090 --> 00:47:09.570
And they're like, fuck it up, we're leaving.

00:47:09.829 --> 00:47:12.670
And so they jump the planet, they get on this

00:47:12.670 --> 00:47:15.929
thing. What? They jump the planet, okay. Yeah,

00:47:15.989 --> 00:47:19.349
they get off the planet and they try to get away

00:47:19.349 --> 00:47:21.510
from this guy so that they can skip out on their

00:47:21.510 --> 00:47:24.510
money, paying him back. And that was the reason

00:47:24.510 --> 00:47:25.909
why they got on there. And they were trying to

00:47:25.909 --> 00:47:27.130
get on there and he was like, I'll just be an

00:47:27.130 --> 00:47:29.489
expendable. I guess he really didn't understand

00:47:29.489 --> 00:47:31.550
what it was about because they were like, you

00:47:31.550 --> 00:47:33.860
did read. Through the brochure, right, what the

00:47:33.860 --> 00:47:36.159
expendable is. And that's just basically what

00:47:36.159 --> 00:47:38.699
his job is. So, for example, if they land on

00:47:38.699 --> 00:47:42.559
a planet, he goes down there in his suit, and

00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:46.480
they're like, okay, now take off your mask and

00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:48.159
breathe air in it. Let us know how you feel.

00:47:48.800 --> 00:47:52.599
So he dies, and they retrieve his body. They

00:47:52.599 --> 00:47:54.920
figure out why he died and what's going on with

00:47:54.920 --> 00:47:57.519
the air down there and kind of reverse engineer.

00:47:58.730 --> 00:48:01.530
appropriate vaccines, et cetera. And that happened

00:48:01.530 --> 00:48:04.030
16, 15, 16, 17 times. So he's a lab rat that

00:48:04.030 --> 00:48:06.449
they can bring back to life. Yeah, well, they

00:48:06.449 --> 00:48:09.269
reprint him, essentially. Like a 3D printer.

00:48:09.590 --> 00:48:12.530
Correct. Yeah, and implant his memories. Yeah.

00:48:12.530 --> 00:48:14.010
At least the last time they downloaded it. Interesting.

00:48:14.869 --> 00:48:17.989
Okay, all right. Yeah, it's bizarre. Part of

00:48:17.989 --> 00:48:22.179
it was kind of cool, but it just... It does look

00:48:22.179 --> 00:48:24.920
kind of funny. It does get to a point where you're...

00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:26.880
And they had the Hulk, the guy, David Banner

00:48:26.880 --> 00:48:29.940
from... They had him on there. It was bad. Yeah,

00:48:29.960 --> 00:48:34.519
he was so just awful. Oh, the acting was bad?

00:48:34.539 --> 00:48:37.360
What's his name? You're saying the acting was

00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:45.260
bad? No, the actor himself. Mark Ruffalo. Yeah,

00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:48.239
he's a big liberal. I don't like him at all.

00:48:48.320 --> 00:48:50.320
He's a huge hack. Yeah, I struggle with even

00:48:50.320 --> 00:48:53.139
looking at him in a movie, to be honest. Yeah,

00:48:53.440 --> 00:48:57.260
he's an idiot. But you know what? For the experience

00:48:57.260 --> 00:48:59.480
of the movie Mickey 17, yeah, go ahead and watch

00:48:59.480 --> 00:49:01.440
it. But to me, it was a waste of time. It even

00:49:01.440 --> 00:49:07.480
got worse because they find a planet and he lands

00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:09.480
in this pit because he's got a little flamethrower

00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:12.949
after walking out there. The fucking earth opens

00:49:12.949 --> 00:49:15.369
up or the planet opens up or the ice that he

00:49:15.369 --> 00:49:18.309
falls through hits this little ledge and then

00:49:18.309 --> 00:49:20.590
hits all the way to the bottom. And, you know,

00:49:20.610 --> 00:49:22.989
he's hurt and he's probably going to die, but

00:49:22.989 --> 00:49:25.070
he didn't die right away. But he was just hurt.

00:49:25.210 --> 00:49:28.829
And that's the whole kind of part of the show

00:49:28.829 --> 00:49:31.550
of kind of where it started. It gives you the

00:49:31.550 --> 00:49:35.989
lead up to it and then after that. Because when

00:49:35.989 --> 00:49:37.690
he was laying down there, they thought he was

00:49:37.690 --> 00:49:42.599
dead. So they printed another body. So there

00:49:42.599 --> 00:49:44.199
were two of them walking around. That's the whole

00:49:44.199 --> 00:49:46.460
problem with the movie. They're like, oh, now

00:49:46.460 --> 00:49:48.360
I'm not going to get much more into that and

00:49:48.360 --> 00:49:50.059
ruin it for you. But that's kind of where shit

00:49:50.059 --> 00:49:52.320
started going sideways because they have huge

00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:54.260
rules. There's no doubles. There can't be more

00:49:54.260 --> 00:49:55.880
than one. There can't be more than one. There's

00:49:55.880 --> 00:49:57.920
no doubles because you don't have a soul and

00:49:57.920 --> 00:50:00.059
all that other stuff. Just like Highlander. It

00:50:00.059 --> 00:50:02.980
can be only one. It can only be one. Okay. So

00:50:02.980 --> 00:50:05.500
basically it's Highlander part two. Yeah. This

00:50:05.500 --> 00:50:08.380
rate's about as high as the Eagle Rare. You know,

00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:12.250
it's just not very good. Yeah, I can't. Honestly,

00:50:13.030 --> 00:50:15.409
I can't stomach Mark Ruffalo. Yeah, he's hard

00:50:15.409 --> 00:50:19.210
to watch. He's on my De Niro. Like Bob De Niro.

00:50:19.289 --> 00:50:21.849
You will have a very difficult time. Then I won't

00:50:21.849 --> 00:50:23.909
watch it. He is horrible in this movie. I will

00:50:23.909 --> 00:50:27.230
not watch it. He is horrible. His whole mannerisms.

00:50:27.630 --> 00:50:30.210
He's a douchebag. Well, he's playing this cult

00:50:30.210 --> 00:50:32.510
leader who's leading this pilgrimage to this

00:50:32.510 --> 00:50:35.409
other planet of true believers in him. He's a

00:50:35.409 --> 00:50:38.429
failed politician and basically still has his

00:50:38.429 --> 00:50:42.369
core group. right, his base supporters, and they

00:50:42.369 --> 00:50:44.849
all go try to recolonize this other planet, and

00:50:44.849 --> 00:50:48.250
he's got ideas about who should go, right? And

00:50:48.250 --> 00:50:51.010
replicants are, like, low down on that list of

00:50:51.010 --> 00:50:52.530
people who should be gone. So he's even more

00:50:52.530 --> 00:50:54.929
nauseated. And especially not duplicated replicants.

00:50:54.949 --> 00:50:57.449
They're out, right? And so he has his big project.

00:50:57.449 --> 00:50:59.110
So he's got all the hot chicks there. I don't

00:50:59.110 --> 00:51:00.530
know, Jeff. Are we going to watch it? I'm not

00:51:00.530 --> 00:51:02.989
going to watch it. I thought when I saw the previews,

00:51:02.989 --> 00:51:05.570
it looked interesting, the concept. It is. It

00:51:05.570 --> 00:51:09.199
is. I mean. I'm not a Ruffalo. I can't stand

00:51:09.199 --> 00:51:13.260
him at all. He's bad. But, you know, whatever.

00:51:13.460 --> 00:51:15.199
I will watch Mission Impossible when that comes

00:51:15.199 --> 00:51:18.280
out, though. I like Milo James. Which one is

00:51:18.280 --> 00:51:21.960
that one? I don't know. Young Mickey? Yeah, Young

00:51:21.960 --> 00:51:24.400
Mickey. But no, seriously, Mission Impossible

00:51:24.400 --> 00:51:26.300
looks like it might... Is it the last one? Did

00:51:26.300 --> 00:51:28.300
they say it's going to be the last one? At least

00:51:28.300 --> 00:51:30.000
the one that he's in, right? Is this the final,

00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:31.960
final record? It came out last week or two weeks

00:51:31.960 --> 00:51:33.920
ago. Oh, well, what's the rating on it? I don't

00:51:33.920 --> 00:51:36.619
know. He's looking older, too, by the way. Oh,

00:51:36.659 --> 00:51:38.460
yeah. He's in his 60s. Yeah, you can't hide it.

00:51:38.519 --> 00:51:41.559
I mean, he does all of his, you know, does all

00:51:41.559 --> 00:51:43.679
the stunts. I wonder if part of that is because

00:51:43.679 --> 00:51:45.840
he's getting older and he's like, yeah, I can't

00:51:45.840 --> 00:51:48.260
do this for much longer. No. You know? He's lucky

00:51:48.260 --> 00:51:50.579
to be doing it for the last 10 years. Yeah. And

00:51:50.579 --> 00:51:53.519
he's made bank on it. Look at that. 7 .5. Love

00:51:53.519 --> 00:51:56.519
it. Now, it's also a cult following, right? I

00:51:56.519 --> 00:51:57.960
like the Mission Impossible movies. I liked all

00:51:57.960 --> 00:52:00.219
of them. Really. Some were better than others,

00:52:00.320 --> 00:52:02.840
but. I mean, he was a true jackass, and we've

00:52:02.840 --> 00:52:04.260
talked about this in the past. We don't need

00:52:04.260 --> 00:52:07.099
to rehash it, but whatever. At the end of the

00:52:07.099 --> 00:52:10.619
day, he's a freaking actor. I don't give a shit

00:52:10.619 --> 00:52:15.699
what he says. I support him in his endeavor to,

00:52:15.880 --> 00:52:19.159
when he got mad at somebody because they took

00:52:19.159 --> 00:52:22.860
the mask off during COVID, because the film industry

00:52:22.860 --> 00:52:25.760
had put conditions on, if you're going to do

00:52:25.760 --> 00:52:28.469
this, you have to do it this way. or you're not

00:52:28.469 --> 00:52:30.469
going to be able to move it. He's spending all

00:52:30.469 --> 00:52:32.489
this extra money to get this movie made, and

00:52:32.489 --> 00:52:34.329
these guys are taking off the mask, and he loses

00:52:34.329 --> 00:52:36.929
his shit, and some smart -ass, snotty bastard

00:52:36.929 --> 00:52:40.420
is videoing him. While he's having a tantrum.

00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:43.559
I don't blame him. These are $300, $400 million

00:52:43.559 --> 00:52:46.840
movies. And they're going to delay by eight weeks

00:52:46.840 --> 00:52:48.559
because somebody took their mask off? I also

00:52:48.559 --> 00:52:52.099
saw a recent interview of him where the interviewer

00:52:52.099 --> 00:52:55.219
tried to pull him into the politics of the tariffs.

00:52:55.679 --> 00:52:58.579
Because his films were made outside of the U

00:52:58.579 --> 00:53:00.980
.S., right? So they asked him the question of

00:53:00.980 --> 00:53:03.420
all the tariffs and all that and this and that.

00:53:03.519 --> 00:53:06.039
So he paused. Tried to get him to bite on it.

00:53:06.179 --> 00:53:09.059
And he goes. We're here to discuss the movie

00:53:09.059 --> 00:53:12.340
and the making of this movie. Good for him. I've

00:53:12.340 --> 00:53:14.639
never heard him unload on politics one way or

00:53:14.639 --> 00:53:17.619
the other. And I respect that. Because you know

00:53:17.619 --> 00:53:20.519
what? That's not their role. No, it's not. They

00:53:20.519 --> 00:53:22.980
can have an opinion, but nobody needs to listen

00:53:22.980 --> 00:53:24.679
to it. And so he didn't give it, and I respect

00:53:24.679 --> 00:53:28.340
that. My chair is having some issues over here.

00:53:28.780 --> 00:53:31.480
You're about to collapse. The back is kind of

00:53:31.480 --> 00:53:34.500
moving around. But there's some other... Well,

00:53:34.519 --> 00:53:36.019
the other one I think that came out that actually

00:53:36.019 --> 00:53:39.119
I think is doing really well is the remake of

00:53:39.119 --> 00:53:44.039
Lilo and Stitch, which my kids were small when

00:53:44.039 --> 00:53:45.219
that movie came out. It was one of my favorite

00:53:45.219 --> 00:53:46.480
Disney ones, Lilo and Stitch. I thought it was

00:53:46.480 --> 00:53:50.139
funny. I have never seen it. And it's good. And

00:53:50.139 --> 00:53:52.840
actually, that's done better than Mission Impossible,

00:53:53.139 --> 00:53:56.920
I think. That's amazing. And I've heard that.

00:53:57.239 --> 00:53:58.920
You know all these remakes that Disney's doing,

00:53:59.000 --> 00:54:01.539
these live -action versions like Snow White,

00:54:01.619 --> 00:54:03.960
that bomb. Yes. Beauty and the Beast. There's

00:54:03.960 --> 00:54:06.219
several of these. This one is apparently one

00:54:06.219 --> 00:54:10.380
of the better ones, if not the best transition

00:54:10.380 --> 00:54:12.840
into it. It's actually doing quite a bit better

00:54:12.840 --> 00:54:15.039
than Mission Impossible. That is really surprising.

00:54:15.199 --> 00:54:16.980
Yeah. Well, I mean, there's a lot of kids and

00:54:16.980 --> 00:54:19.079
parents that'll go see that. So it's getting

00:54:19.079 --> 00:54:21.380
people like Jeff to go out there and see it,

00:54:21.400 --> 00:54:23.340
and it's getting the kids of nowadays to go see

00:54:23.340 --> 00:54:24.760
it, and it's getting the kids from the earlier

00:54:24.760 --> 00:54:27.349
years to come. You know? Yeah, and maybe there

00:54:27.349 --> 00:54:29.329
hasn't been a good kids movie in a while, huh?

00:54:30.210 --> 00:54:31.849
Yeah, two weeks. Look at that. It's already made

00:54:31.849 --> 00:54:36.090
$278, almost $280 million compared to $120. I

00:54:36.090 --> 00:54:40.150
mean, it's doubling the per screen average. Yeah,

00:54:40.230 --> 00:54:43.190
it's got some more theaters, but not that much

00:54:43.190 --> 00:54:44.630
more theaters. How much did it cost to make,

00:54:44.710 --> 00:54:48.809
does it say? I don't know. But I also heard,

00:54:49.010 --> 00:54:51.659
but well. These things cost so much money. I

00:54:51.659 --> 00:54:53.539
guarantee Tom Cruise is not making a lot of money

00:54:53.539 --> 00:54:55.280
off of Mission Impossible right now because it

00:54:55.280 --> 00:54:57.659
costs so much money to make. And if he's flipping

00:54:57.659 --> 00:55:02.019
the bill for it, or a lot of it, it's hard to

00:55:02.019 --> 00:55:04.199
make money off these movies unless you're breaching

00:55:04.199 --> 00:55:08.059
over a billion dollars. And you said this one

00:55:08.059 --> 00:55:12.980
was a live action mix between. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:55:12.980 --> 00:55:14.480
You talking about Lilo or? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:55:14.500 --> 00:55:16.440
Yeah, Stitch is the computer, but everyone else

00:55:16.440 --> 00:55:18.699
is an alien, and the aliens are a computer, right?

00:55:18.739 --> 00:55:22.179
But it's real people. Right, right. But I heard

00:55:22.179 --> 00:55:25.179
that Disney just canned a bunch of folks today

00:55:25.179 --> 00:55:28.500
from their entertainment division. Really? Because

00:55:28.500 --> 00:55:32.199
of movie performances. I mean, sooner or later,

00:55:32.280 --> 00:55:34.179
they can't keep losing $200 million every time

00:55:34.179 --> 00:55:36.119
they make a movie. Oh, I know. I mean, you know,

00:55:36.139 --> 00:55:37.960
I know you were saying the park subsidized a

00:55:37.960 --> 00:55:40.550
lot of that, but I mean, come on. There's only

00:55:40.550 --> 00:55:42.630
so much you can do. Well, the park attendance,

00:55:43.570 --> 00:55:47.550
I believe, has been down. So, you know, when

00:55:47.550 --> 00:55:50.869
that happens and they keep launching these bombs,

00:55:51.030 --> 00:55:52.090
I'm not saying Lilo and Stitcher is going to

00:55:52.090 --> 00:55:53.849
be a bomb, but they've had a lot of bombs. Is

00:55:53.849 --> 00:55:58.150
it true that the park is property of the queen?

00:55:58.710 --> 00:56:02.230
Did I read that right? Like Disney World? Correct.

00:56:02.630 --> 00:56:05.659
I don't believe so. I've never heard that. Like,

00:56:05.659 --> 00:56:08.420
it may be bullshit again. This is like a meme

00:56:08.420 --> 00:56:11.000
or something, but I heard something where they

00:56:11.000 --> 00:56:14.719
said that where Ron DeSantis was like, you guys

00:56:14.719 --> 00:56:17.940
are no longer tax exempt. Right. That was the

00:56:17.940 --> 00:56:21.719
read. I think they called it. I don't think I

00:56:21.719 --> 00:56:23.679
had anything to do with the queen, but they were

00:56:23.679 --> 00:56:29.449
in a certain. Unincorporated. Unincorporated

00:56:29.449 --> 00:56:31.650
area. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where they weren't taxed,

00:56:31.650 --> 00:56:33.829
but Disney maintained all the roads. They maintained

00:56:33.829 --> 00:56:36.510
all the fire stations. I'm trying to figure out

00:56:36.510 --> 00:56:39.630
where that came from. I guess that's just a bunch

00:56:39.630 --> 00:56:42.409
of bullshit. Oh, I don't know. Yeah, I've never

00:56:42.409 --> 00:56:44.530
heard any connection to the UK. Are you talking

00:56:44.530 --> 00:56:46.550
about the Queen of England? I mean, it said the

00:56:46.550 --> 00:56:51.349
Queensland. I don't know what that would be referencing.

00:56:51.670 --> 00:56:54.269
But, I mean, yeah, they essentially were self

00:56:54.269 --> 00:56:56.309
-governed. That was the bottom line. They were

00:56:56.309 --> 00:56:59.570
self -governing all the area around the Disney

00:56:59.570 --> 00:57:03.309
world. And they were being given these ridiculous

00:57:03.309 --> 00:57:07.949
tax exempts. And DeSantis was like... So Disney

00:57:07.949 --> 00:57:12.190
blocks Ron DeSantis with the... This was in 2023,

00:57:12.530 --> 00:57:14.030
by the way. This is right at the time. And we

00:57:14.030 --> 00:57:16.730
did talk about this. But they blocked the DeSantis

00:57:16.730 --> 00:57:22.090
with the King Charles Clause. That was the part

00:57:22.090 --> 00:57:25.070
I didn't understand. Well, I think Dizzy ended

00:57:25.070 --> 00:57:27.690
up ultimately losing that. They did. Yeah. So

00:57:27.690 --> 00:57:29.769
now they're being taxed. And that was DeSantis'

00:57:29.929 --> 00:57:31.869
point. He was like, you guys have this unbelievable

00:57:31.869 --> 00:57:37.090
exemption and all these privileges and all this

00:57:37.090 --> 00:57:40.909
self -governing, and you guys are being shitty.

00:57:41.409 --> 00:57:43.510
Right. They're being all woke, and they're being

00:57:43.510 --> 00:57:45.110
all this and being all that. You're not being

00:57:45.110 --> 00:57:48.570
a good partner. No, and they were putting out

00:57:48.570 --> 00:57:51.130
material that's not safe for kids and all this

00:57:51.130 --> 00:57:53.239
kind of stuff. And he was like, we're done. Well,

00:57:53.260 --> 00:57:55.780
I think where he was getting some pushback is

00:57:55.780 --> 00:57:57.219
there are actually people who live in Reedy Creek

00:57:57.219 --> 00:58:00.099
as well that were going to. Oh, really? Yeah.

00:58:00.219 --> 00:58:02.699
So now they're going to be taxed, whereas before,

00:58:02.840 --> 00:58:06.179
I don't know exactly how that was going to be.

00:58:06.199 --> 00:58:09.679
Oh, well. Sorry. Everybody pays taxes. Yeah.

00:58:09.699 --> 00:58:11.179
So I don't know if it applied to everybody or

00:58:11.179 --> 00:58:13.159
maybe theirs was reduced. But I know there was

00:58:13.159 --> 00:58:14.179
some pushback. Well, now we're going to have

00:58:14.179 --> 00:58:18.150
to take care of our own roads. Fund our own police

00:58:18.150 --> 00:58:20.510
station and fire stations and shit. I thought,

00:58:20.530 --> 00:58:23.090
like, Las Colinas, Irving, Texas was similar.

00:58:23.789 --> 00:58:26.349
That may be wrong on that. Isn't Las Colinas

00:58:26.349 --> 00:58:29.409
part of Irving? Yeah, it's a special district

00:58:29.409 --> 00:58:32.329
of Irving, yes. Yeah, but, I mean, do they take

00:58:32.329 --> 00:58:35.610
care of their own roads? Is it similar? I don't

00:58:35.610 --> 00:58:38.489
know. I think it's just kind of, like, if they

00:58:38.489 --> 00:58:40.889
want to build that monorail, they can do it themselves.

00:58:41.150 --> 00:58:44.389
They have their own review process, maybe. But

00:58:44.389 --> 00:58:47.190
there's no city of Las Colinas, right? If you

00:58:47.190 --> 00:58:48.670
want to get something done, you've got to get

00:58:48.670 --> 00:58:51.090
it through the city of Irving. So I remember

00:58:51.090 --> 00:58:56.469
there was the president of Las Colinas Association,

00:58:57.110 --> 00:59:02.210
Heinz Simon. Heinz. Heinz Simon. And he brought

00:59:02.210 --> 00:59:06.869
up, I brought him actually to my college history

00:59:06.869 --> 00:59:09.590
class, bring someone to work day or something

00:59:09.590 --> 00:59:11.889
like that. He went there and spoke, and he's

00:59:11.889 --> 00:59:16.219
such a slimeball. Would I be the president of

00:59:16.219 --> 00:59:18.440
the Los Clementes Association when you could

00:59:18.440 --> 00:59:21.139
be king? I'll never forget when he said that.

00:59:21.179 --> 00:59:24.440
He says, no, I'm not elected. This is my position.

00:59:25.400 --> 00:59:27.659
Is this a piece of shit? Yeah, what a slime ball.

00:59:27.960 --> 00:59:30.179
Yeah, and he said that because he was a member

00:59:30.179 --> 00:59:31.860
at the Four Seasons when I used to work there.

00:59:32.079 --> 00:59:34.139
And he sat up at the bar lot. That's how I got

00:59:34.139 --> 00:59:36.199
him in there. And I ended up getting an A in

00:59:36.199 --> 00:59:37.699
the class because I scored pretty good with him.

00:59:38.889 --> 00:59:40.829
Speaking of scoring pretty good with them, look,

00:59:40.929 --> 00:59:43.010
we've got something to score right now. Let's

00:59:43.010 --> 00:59:45.110
check out this whiskey. Do you guys want to grab

00:59:45.110 --> 00:59:50.949
that bottle and pour a little bit more? Did you

00:59:50.949 --> 00:59:52.230
want a little bit more? Yeah, I'll have a little

00:59:52.230 --> 00:59:53.869
bit. I mean, I need to kind of think about it

00:59:53.869 --> 00:59:56.010
as I'm trying it as opposed to just drinking

00:59:56.010 --> 00:59:58.670
it. Yeah, it went down awfully smooth for me

00:59:58.670 --> 01:00:00.869
tonight. Is that enough for you? Yeah, that's

01:00:00.869 --> 01:00:04.909
good. Thank you. So we're tasting, we got Old

01:00:04.909 --> 01:00:09.940
Dominic Hewling Station Straight Bourbon. Now,

01:00:09.960 --> 01:00:12.599
I don't think they distill this. They're probably

01:00:12.599 --> 01:00:15.519
getting – because on the back it says it's crafted

01:00:15.519 --> 01:00:19.980
and bottled, which tells me that they – So it's

01:00:19.980 --> 01:00:22.920
MGP juice? Well, I'm looking to see if they –

01:00:22.920 --> 01:00:26.840
oh, yeah. Distilled in Lawrence – yes. Lawrenceburg,

01:00:26.900 --> 01:00:29.480
Indiana. So, yeah, MGP. MGP. All right. Well,

01:00:29.559 --> 01:00:31.480
this is probably one of our – I don't even know

01:00:31.480 --> 01:00:33.739
when we got this. You know, but it's probably

01:00:33.739 --> 01:00:36.780
one of our newer bottles. We bought the his and

01:00:36.780 --> 01:00:39.739
her. We got the straight, and then we got also

01:00:39.739 --> 01:00:42.179
the small batch. So we picked up two. Yeah, there's

01:00:42.179 --> 01:00:46.500
a blue label out there. So this one. I mean,

01:00:46.519 --> 01:00:48.519
it's a good. Oh, they changed their bottles,

01:00:48.619 --> 01:00:53.659
it looks like. I mean, this is good. I wrote

01:00:53.659 --> 01:00:59.039
down one word, thin. Thin. Yeah, nailed it. Yeah,

01:00:59.119 --> 01:01:01.340
it's thin. It's 100 proof. I was expecting more.

01:01:01.880 --> 01:01:04.360
But it goes away really fast. It tastes good,

01:01:04.480 --> 01:01:06.679
what you get. Yeah. But it goes away really fast.

01:01:06.880 --> 01:01:14.760
I do taste raisin, cherry, figs, and tobacco.

01:01:15.519 --> 01:01:18.079
Like a catcher's mitt. Yeah, there's a lot of

01:01:18.079 --> 01:01:22.059
those dark fruits like that. And it has quite

01:01:22.059 --> 01:01:24.980
the legs. Yeah, it's a nice color. Yeah, but

01:01:24.980 --> 01:01:27.800
you're right. It just disappears quick. Yeah.

01:01:27.900 --> 01:01:29.880
I mean, there's a little bit on the lips, but.

01:01:30.269 --> 01:01:32.030
Like the palate, the mid palate, there's almost

01:01:32.030 --> 01:01:34.030
nothing there for me. And then you get a little

01:01:34.030 --> 01:01:35.429
bit on the finish, and then it just goes away

01:01:35.429 --> 01:01:37.590
for me. It's like Paul in the 20s. It just doesn't

01:01:37.590 --> 01:01:41.969
last very long. So, I mean, it's interesting

01:01:41.969 --> 01:01:45.809
that I think this could be an easier drinker

01:01:45.809 --> 01:01:48.949
for people that, you know, that are used to 90s.

01:01:49.050 --> 01:01:50.829
Actually, that's true. Yeah, that's true. You

01:01:50.829 --> 01:01:52.969
know what I mean? There's no harshness to it

01:01:52.969 --> 01:01:56.389
at all. No, not at all. It's smooth, 400 proof.

01:01:56.690 --> 01:02:01.179
Super easy. Yeah, very easy. So it might be a

01:02:01.179 --> 01:02:04.539
hit with that class of people. So if someone

01:02:04.539 --> 01:02:07.079
asked for 100 proof, you could direct them to

01:02:07.079 --> 01:02:10.119
this. Yeah, 100 proof that's easy to drink, I

01:02:10.119 --> 01:02:12.400
would direct them to this. The only thing I don't

01:02:12.400 --> 01:02:18.300
like about it, it has the bitter tobacco aftertaste

01:02:18.300 --> 01:02:22.000
that doesn't disappear for me. It lingers. And

01:02:22.000 --> 01:02:25.260
I do like the upfront in your face stone fruit

01:02:25.260 --> 01:02:29.730
kind of the cherries. It's got a nice fruit flavor

01:02:29.730 --> 01:02:32.150
up front, but on the tail end, that disappears

01:02:32.150 --> 01:02:36.789
quick, and it leaves that bitter shit at the

01:02:36.789 --> 01:02:40.710
end that I don't really enjoy. Yeah. I don't

01:02:40.710 --> 01:02:45.150
find it unpleasant, but I, you know. It's not

01:02:45.150 --> 01:02:47.730
bad. No, it's just kind of. I'd give this a five,

01:02:47.809 --> 01:02:50.289
right in the middle. It's not good. It's not

01:02:50.289 --> 01:02:53.610
bad. It's like just, if it was stronger, flavor

01:02:53.610 --> 01:02:56.949
-wise, maybe there's more. flavor to it that

01:02:56.949 --> 01:02:59.409
would last longer it'd be a higher higher rating

01:02:59.409 --> 01:03:01.670
for me because it doesn't taste bad it's just

01:03:01.670 --> 01:03:03.690
there's not much there you know you nailed it

01:03:03.690 --> 01:03:06.969
i i don't i don't want to give it less than a

01:03:06.969 --> 01:03:09.889
five but it doesn't deserve more than a five

01:03:09.889 --> 01:03:13.329
right so i'm with you right on the dot five yeah

01:03:13.329 --> 01:03:15.329
i could be fine with that i mean i could go you

01:03:15.329 --> 01:03:17.170
know five one five two but i wouldn't go higher

01:03:17.170 --> 01:03:21.829
than that right so again it's a good like when

01:03:21.829 --> 01:03:23.889
that's gone do we buy another bottle i don't

01:03:23.889 --> 01:03:27.280
think so No way. No. No way. I mean, I would

01:03:27.280 --> 01:03:29.559
imagine that this will be on your shelf for a

01:03:29.559 --> 01:03:32.800
very long time. And we'll just keep it there.

01:03:32.920 --> 01:03:35.539
That actually is a really good criteria you just

01:03:35.539 --> 01:03:37.260
threw out. Because you know how sometimes we

01:03:37.260 --> 01:03:38.820
have one for the podcast and we're like, dude,

01:03:38.900 --> 01:03:40.460
I need this for my private collection. Right.

01:03:40.840 --> 01:03:43.539
There hasn't been a lot of those. No. I mean,

01:03:43.559 --> 01:03:45.420
that should be a question we ask every time.

01:03:45.559 --> 01:03:48.039
Like, do you like this enough? Would you buy

01:03:48.039 --> 01:03:50.139
a bottle of this to have at your house? No. All

01:03:50.139 --> 01:03:52.480
right. Let's add that. Let's make that a criteria.

01:03:52.739 --> 01:03:56.079
Is this going to be on my shelf? Right. The answer

01:03:56.079 --> 01:03:59.400
is no. Yeah, no. However, we do want it on our

01:03:59.400 --> 01:04:02.159
shelf, and we're proud to have it. And we enjoy

01:04:02.159 --> 01:04:03.739
it. I mean, it's not like we're not enjoying

01:04:03.739 --> 01:04:05.539
it. Oh, no. Yeah, this is good. We're enjoying

01:04:05.539 --> 01:04:07.800
it. Remember, there's thousands of bourbons out

01:04:07.800 --> 01:04:09.940
there, guys. I mean, you know? I mean, you've

01:04:09.940 --> 01:04:13.159
got to be selective. Well, you do. It's okay

01:04:13.159 --> 01:04:15.889
to be selective, right? Old Dominic. Hewling

01:04:15.889 --> 01:04:18.409
Station Hunter Proof Bourbon features a mix of

01:04:18.409 --> 01:04:21.150
sweet and spicy notes. The nose offers hints

01:04:21.150 --> 01:04:22.730
of stone fruit, dark cherries, creamy vanilla,

01:04:22.989 --> 01:04:26.849
creamy vanilla with a touch of rye spice. Palate

01:04:26.849 --> 01:04:28.989
shows notes of cinnamon, rich caramel along with

01:04:28.989 --> 01:04:33.449
subtle tobacco and velvety dark chocolate. Overall

01:04:33.449 --> 01:04:36.449
impression is a rich balance and long lasting

01:04:36.449 --> 01:04:39.429
finish, which it does last a long time, but not

01:04:39.429 --> 01:04:41.730
in a good way. So what are those little icons?

01:04:41.849 --> 01:04:46.119
I see cherry. I don't know what that is. What

01:04:46.119 --> 01:04:49.460
is that, like a wombat cube poop? It is. It's

01:04:49.460 --> 01:04:52.099
a cube? You nailed it. It's a wombat. That's

01:04:52.099 --> 01:04:55.539
dropping cheese. I don't know. Is that caramel?

01:04:55.559 --> 01:05:00.280
I see cherry. It's rye spice. Maybe. And then

01:05:00.280 --> 01:05:02.739
sticks or a cigarette. Is that a cigarette? That

01:05:02.739 --> 01:05:04.199
could be the spice there. Is that a cigarette?

01:05:04.440 --> 01:05:06.980
What the hell is going on? Cigar. Cigar. So there

01:05:06.980 --> 01:05:11.880
are little, so there's chocolate, cherries. Oh,

01:05:11.900 --> 01:05:17.449
that's an ashtray. Really? I don't know. All

01:05:17.449 --> 01:05:18.869
right. Well, you know what? It could be cinnamon.

01:05:19.050 --> 01:05:20.349
Oh, there's cinnamon roll -ups. That's cinnamon

01:05:20.349 --> 01:05:23.150
sticks. Yes, yes, yes. That's what I meant. Yes.

01:05:23.849 --> 01:05:27.050
Is that anise? What is that? The second I read

01:05:27.050 --> 01:05:29.690
that, what is that? Is that anise? That could

01:05:29.690 --> 01:05:32.130
be. Yeah, I don't know. So they got these little

01:05:32.130 --> 01:05:34.590
pictures. We definitely see what cherries are.

01:05:34.650 --> 01:05:35.989
What's the one with the little swirl? That's

01:05:35.989 --> 01:05:38.570
chocolate. I think caramel. I think caramel.

01:05:38.570 --> 01:05:39.889
I think chocolate's right. Oh, it might be caramel.

01:05:40.090 --> 01:05:43.559
Yeah. Oh, is it caramel or caramel? Depends where

01:05:43.559 --> 01:05:45.960
you're from, I think. Caramel. Oh, my gosh. I

01:05:45.960 --> 01:05:49.260
say caramel. Do you? That's a unique way to say

01:05:49.260 --> 01:05:51.860
it. No, I say caramel. I say caramel. I say caramel.

01:05:52.619 --> 01:05:54.500
Caramel. You're contrarian. See? There's two.

01:05:55.860 --> 01:06:02.519
I started mine. I'm just kidding. There we go.

01:06:02.579 --> 01:06:06.239
I'm just kidding. All right, cool. How much time

01:06:06.239 --> 01:06:07.960
do we have before we are shutting this down?

01:06:09.280 --> 01:06:11.239
We have some other things to talk about. I don't

01:06:11.239 --> 01:06:13.619
want to squeeze them in too quickly. We've got

01:06:13.619 --> 01:06:16.099
about four minutes. Four minutes? Well, you want

01:06:16.099 --> 01:06:21.000
to hit the... I was thinking the Olympics. Which

01:06:21.000 --> 01:06:23.539
one? The flag football. You brought up last week,

01:06:23.579 --> 01:06:26.219
you're like, how do we feel about when they finally

01:06:26.219 --> 01:06:30.119
switched from... Amateurs to professionals. How

01:06:30.119 --> 01:06:32.440
did we feel about that? I am against that. I

01:06:32.440 --> 01:06:34.260
am too. Did it start with the basketball, the

01:06:34.260 --> 01:06:36.539
dream team basketball? Well, that's because I

01:06:36.539 --> 01:06:39.360
think there was another country that was, who

01:06:39.360 --> 01:06:42.019
beat us in basketball? Someone beat, someone

01:06:42.019 --> 01:06:45.199
was potential. Yeah, the college kids. Remember?

01:06:45.300 --> 01:06:47.039
We had a college, that's what they did. They

01:06:47.039 --> 01:06:50.079
took the best college kids in basketball. Right.

01:06:50.159 --> 01:06:52.820
And we never, ever, ever lost. Right? And then

01:06:52.820 --> 01:06:55.960
we did. And then went. The moment we lost. Oh,

01:06:56.000 --> 01:06:57.780
we could never have that happen again. Oh, here

01:06:57.780 --> 01:06:59.739
we go. Has to be proved. But I think it's wrong.

01:06:59.900 --> 01:07:02.360
I think that professionals need to stay in the

01:07:02.360 --> 01:07:03.920
professional limelight for a couple of reasons.

01:07:04.000 --> 01:07:06.000
First of all, they're professionals because it's

01:07:06.000 --> 01:07:09.139
not the spirit of what it is. And if I'm the

01:07:09.139 --> 01:07:12.039
owner of that professional, I don't want my players

01:07:12.039 --> 01:07:15.539
joining the Olympics and getting themselves hurt.

01:07:15.900 --> 01:07:18.559
I've got a $50 million player. Why the fuck would

01:07:18.559 --> 01:07:20.659
I want him going out there playing? Two things.

01:07:20.900 --> 01:07:23.900
And ultimately, come on, man. It's about the

01:07:23.900 --> 01:07:29.139
kids. It's about the 16 -year -olds, 17 -year

01:07:29.139 --> 01:07:31.500
-olds, 15 -year -olds that have trained from

01:07:31.500 --> 01:07:34.159
the time they were six and seven years old to

01:07:34.159 --> 01:07:36.480
get up to that performance level. I mean, are

01:07:36.480 --> 01:07:39.280
there professional gymnasts out there? There

01:07:39.280 --> 01:07:43.079
are professional track stars because there is

01:07:43.079 --> 01:07:45.920
a whole circuit of track that they get paid for.

01:07:46.719 --> 01:07:48.039
I'm not sure I need that. It's like worldwide.

01:07:48.260 --> 01:07:49.739
Yeah, there's professional track runners. I don't

01:07:49.739 --> 01:07:53.380
like it. I don't like it. My dad would watch

01:07:53.380 --> 01:07:54.900
the shit out of those. He'd record them all the

01:07:54.900 --> 01:07:58.420
time. This is kind of off the subject, and we

01:07:58.420 --> 01:08:00.440
probably need to address this in a future one,

01:08:00.559 --> 01:08:03.599
but I was informed that there is a new strain

01:08:03.599 --> 01:08:06.760
of Olympics that's coming out, not to be associated

01:08:06.760 --> 01:08:09.559
with the current Olympic program, completely

01:08:09.559 --> 01:08:13.099
separate, where you get all the guys that are

01:08:13.099 --> 01:08:18.329
doing steroids and drug -enhanced... Supplements.

01:08:18.550 --> 01:08:22.890
And the goal is to beat the world record. It's

01:08:22.890 --> 01:08:27.390
not to win. It's to beat the old record. They

01:08:27.390 --> 01:08:30.510
don't get any recognition. There's no recognition.

01:08:31.010 --> 01:08:33.130
So these guys are going to be just completely

01:08:33.130 --> 01:08:35.350
jacked and juiced. They may be. I don't know.

01:08:35.569 --> 01:08:37.930
Just like die at the finish line. I'm not sure

01:08:37.930 --> 01:08:40.550
that's a good message for athletes. To juice

01:08:40.550 --> 01:08:44.029
themselves. Well, no. It's not necessarily saying

01:08:44.029 --> 01:08:47.050
take steroids, but they take. You know, performance

01:08:47.050 --> 01:08:49.770
enhancing drugs. Whatever that is. I don't know

01:08:49.770 --> 01:08:52.649
what that is. But that was the buzz. But they

01:08:52.649 --> 01:08:54.670
don't get the world record then. They do not.

01:08:54.810 --> 01:08:59.529
But there's a purse that they win. So it's not

01:08:59.529 --> 01:09:01.729
a matter of first, second, and third, which there

01:09:01.729 --> 01:09:04.189
will be first, second, and third. But the goal

01:09:04.189 --> 01:09:07.630
is to beat the world record. Right. And to see

01:09:07.630 --> 01:09:10.069
if it's true. They want to know. Is it true?

01:09:10.649 --> 01:09:12.909
This is what before, this is after. I don't know.

01:09:12.949 --> 01:09:15.010
Preston brought that up to me. Well, I know a

01:09:15.010 --> 01:09:17.090
couple years ago there was, I think it was a

01:09:17.090 --> 01:09:20.409
Nike event where they tried to beat the two -hour

01:09:20.409 --> 01:09:27.149
marathon time limit. And I think he did it, but

01:09:27.149 --> 01:09:29.649
they got disqualified because the shoe he had,

01:09:29.829 --> 01:09:32.909
they determined was giving him some. Spring.

01:09:33.170 --> 01:09:37.189
Yes. So I think they disqualified him. And they

01:09:37.189 --> 01:09:39.390
had it all down where they're, you know. They

01:09:39.390 --> 01:09:42.109
were drafting. He was doing all this shit. And

01:09:42.109 --> 01:09:44.810
then I think he ended up beating the two -hour

01:09:44.810 --> 01:09:48.069
mark. But they didn't count it because it was

01:09:48.069 --> 01:09:51.550
unofficial and all that shit, right? So going

01:09:51.550 --> 01:09:53.689
back to the basketball, Chuck put this up on

01:09:53.689 --> 01:09:57.909
the screen. So in 1988, we got the bronze medal.

01:09:58.390 --> 01:10:01.010
Correct. With college kids. With college kids.

01:10:01.090 --> 01:10:03.550
Now, a lot of those college kids went to the

01:10:03.550 --> 01:10:05.869
pros, but, I mean, those are not names that you

01:10:05.869 --> 01:10:08.590
– So there's two Charles Smiths on that team.

01:10:08.909 --> 01:10:10.470
Yeah, there's two Charles Smiths. How about that?

01:10:10.670 --> 01:10:14.390
I mean, Mitch Richmond, Bimbo Coles was in the

01:10:14.390 --> 01:10:18.489
NBA. Willie Anderson, Stacey Ogden, Dan Marley,

01:10:18.590 --> 01:10:21.550
Thunder Dan, right? They were all in the NBA.

01:10:22.470 --> 01:10:24.930
Dan Robinson, really? Hershey Hawkins? I mean,

01:10:24.970 --> 01:10:26.850
that was a... Okay, so that was... Why'd they

01:10:26.850 --> 01:10:30.670
lose? Well, look, they had Bimbo Coles. No, I

01:10:30.670 --> 01:10:32.430
mean, they're good. They're pretty much almost.

01:10:32.470 --> 01:10:34.649
All those guys are good. Stacey Ogman? Yeah,

01:10:34.689 --> 01:10:36.149
but they were kids. I mean, they lost to some

01:10:36.149 --> 01:10:40.729
big -name NBA players from the Soviet Union and

01:10:40.729 --> 01:10:43.210
Yugoslavia. And you nailed it. They were kids

01:10:43.210 --> 01:10:47.510
playing grown -ass men. Yeah, I think so. And

01:10:47.510 --> 01:10:50.050
then it turned to next. Vlade Divac? Vlade Divac.

01:10:50.130 --> 01:10:54.050
Oh, yeah. And then the next time was Charles

01:10:54.050 --> 01:10:58.270
Barkley, Larry Bird, Clyde Drake, Patrick Ewing,

01:10:58.390 --> 01:11:00.609
Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan. Oh, yeah. They

01:11:00.609 --> 01:11:02.569
included one college kid, Christian Laidner.

01:11:02.569 --> 01:11:04.909
Christian Laidner. Yep. Oh, look. There's Larry

01:11:04.909 --> 01:11:09.649
Hokai. Scotty Pippen. I'm just joking. Interesting.

01:11:09.729 --> 01:11:12.350
David Robertson was back -to -back, 88 and 92.

01:11:13.829 --> 01:11:16.670
Interesting. Anyway, I don't like it. I think

01:11:16.670 --> 01:11:19.189
it was kind of immature for the United States

01:11:19.189 --> 01:11:22.550
to launch that pro program. I mean, talk about

01:11:22.550 --> 01:11:26.270
giving up. Although it was neat to see these

01:11:26.270 --> 01:11:29.130
dream teams play. Yeah. But it was kind of stupid.

01:11:29.210 --> 01:11:31.069
It was silly. But now it's just kind of like,

01:11:31.149 --> 01:11:34.289
eh. It was a novelty, and I think it was wrong.

01:11:34.569 --> 01:11:37.449
But you know what? Whatever. I think it's...

01:11:37.449 --> 01:11:40.750
Oh, they got third place. Oh, that's the 2004

01:11:40.750 --> 01:11:43.170
they got bronze as well. Yeah. Oh, that was with

01:11:43.170 --> 01:11:47.350
LeBron. Yep. Check us out on Facebook. Check

01:11:47.350 --> 01:11:50.130

dudes .gush .woodcraft. We've got some cool things.

01:11:53.449 --> 01:11:55.890
You guys want to get some, what is it called?

01:11:56.609 --> 01:11:59.630
Shrag? Shrag cheese? Key chains? Some refrigerator

01:11:59.630 --> 01:12:01.149
magnets? I think that we've got those things,

01:12:01.189 --> 01:12:04.789
right? Jeff's working on a new winter -free butt

01:12:04.789 --> 01:12:07.369
plug. We can make anything. Butt plugs, too?

01:12:07.649 --> 01:12:10.050
I don't have a rotary, so I can't do that. I

01:12:10.050 --> 01:12:13.840
do. No butt plug. It'd be square. Let's invest

01:12:13.840 --> 01:12:16.840
$5 ,000 into a butt plug rotary machine. Thank

01:12:16.840 --> 01:12:18.600
you, Chuck, for staying on top of stuff, dudes

01:12:18.600 --> 01:12:20.560
like us. I'm Sean. I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff.
