Roger, roger. Over, overdone. Did you hear that
there is a new Naked Gun movie? Yes, there is.
I'm excited. It's got Liam Neeson in it. I hope
it's not just a repeat of the original movie.
You know what I mean? It's like Hollywood doesn't
have creativity anymore. They just kind of redo
old movies. It's like the same jokes. Nice beaver.
Nice beaver. Yes. Welcome back, huh? They got
that picture of the guy holding the big dildo.
Remember that? They went to the sex shop. The
guy had the dildos going crazy. Yeah, it was
motorized. He was like... It was great. Yes.
Feels like this is the second half. I know. Well,
you know what? We haven't done this. Before you
got here. We haven't done this in a while. Is
that Pamela Anderson? Who is that? Yes, Pamela
Anderson. Wow. She looks terrific there. So a
lookout crime. He's fully armed. The Naked Gun,
Liam Nielsen, features in the movie theaters
August 1st. His penis has like five appendages
on it. Look at that. Hold your leg. Very nice.
Very beefy. He has a lot of arms. It's June 17th.
It's Juneteenth. What happens? What's Juneteenth?
Is it a specific day? It's Thursday. It's not
Juneteenth today. It's the freeing of the slaves
or something like that. Yeah, but what is that?
I found out. I found out. Our pastor actually
told us what it was. I was like, this is weird.
Wait, why are you talking about Juneteenth? So
when they did the Emancipation Proclamation,
it took two years for that news to hit Texas,
and those people in Texas were still slaves.
And so two years later, on Juneteenth, they—
It was 18th, right? June, yes. Yes. Right. That
was the question from the beginning. What do
they call it on Juneteenth? Is that the 18th?
It's the 18th, I believe. Yeah. Sometimes it
falls on Father's Day. So it literally was the
Texas celebration of the slaves in Texas finding
out that they were free two years later. Because
I had never heard of that in Ohio. That is not
a thing in Ohio. It's a Texas thing. It's 100
% a Texas thing. Yeah. And only a Texas thing.
Really. All right. Well. I mean, they can celebrate
it everywhere, but I'm just saying it originated.
Like I said, when I was growing up and taking
history, we did not cover Juneteenth. The Man's
Proclamation we did, but Juneteenth was not on
the agenda. That was the first time I had heard
why it was significant, which is a cool thing.
It is cool. Check us out on Facebook and Instagram,
dudeslikeus -podcast or dudeslikeus -woodcraft.
We're the Dudes Like Us Show. We've got a producer,
Mr. Chuck. Thank you, sir. It is June. The day
before. The day before Juneteenth. It's Juneteenth
Eve. It's the 19th. Very. We are celebrating.
I'm going to bed early. Santa Claus is coming.
What the hell? Yeah. All right. You're going
to be released. All right, dudes, I got some
shot. I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff. We have a jam -packed
evening. Well, because we've been just swelling
with topics and ideas. Well, we've only missed
one podcast, right? Yeah, we were out last week.
Did we miss two? Two weeks. No. Yes, it was.
Was it two, really? No, it was one week. It was?
Yes. Well, I was in Vegas last week. You got
to lay off the carbon dioxide. Yeah, I was out
of town last week as well. That was it, just
last week. Was it just one week? Yeah, because
I left last Saturday, not last Saturday, but
Saturday morning. I missed all of you. Yes. I
can't think of what we did. Even Friday was kind
of an easygoing night. What did you do on Friday?
Friday. Friday, I think I traveled. Yeah, I was
coming back from Vegas. I didn't land. I didn't
get home until 1130 at night. Chuck and I went
to the Holy Grail, and I hadn't eaten, so I fasted
on Thursday. Did you get the wings? I did. And
then some. Yeah. I fasted Thursday. He ate his
$5 wings. I ate Wednesday dinner, and I didn't
eat again until Friday dinner. Was that planned?
It was planned. Okay. You do it on Mondays, don't
you? I did, but I failed to do it that Monday,
and so I was just like, man, I need to do it.
I wanted to do two days back -to -back, but it
didn't work out. Have you found it beneficial
if you alter those days or if you're consistent
every week and fast? It doesn't matter. I don't
know. I typically do it on Mondays, and look,
I fell off the trend. I've already done it. This
is my third. A third week in a row doing it.
But prior to that, in the beginning of the year,
dude, I was down to 239. I was happy. I was proud.
And then I think I had to go to Houston for a
couple trips in a row and just blew that. thing
out of the water. When I got back, it just messed
up the routine. I never got back into it. Yeah,
vacations have a way of throwing any kind of
diet out the window. Oh, for sure. Or working
out or exercise or this or that. I'm three weeks
in now and yeah, I've already lost five pounds.
I'm down to 245. Nice. You know, and last week
I was 252. I'm telling you, man, it kind of bums
me out when I look at that number and it's just
like, God bless it. It's so easy to do because
I don't really eat horrible. And I think Paul
nails it every single time. He says, portioning,
Sean, I've seen what you eat. It's not what you
eat. It's how much you eat. It is. You eat 15
pounds of healthy food. Did I say all that? That
sounds really intelligent. I'm paraphrasing.
But that's intelligent stuff. You're attributing
that to me. I'm impressed. I was reading between
the lines. We're cutting all the carbs out. We
have pretzels for lunch or something like that.
We're done with that. We're starting to buy in
nuts. And I measured out portions. You look at
it, you're like, that's not very much. No, dude.
So they say a quarter of a cup. Yeah, they say
a quarter of a cup of nuts is what you should
eat at one time. Do you know how small a quarter
cup is? Well, I know, but I'm sitting there.
It's very depressing. And I eat it, but I'm still
full. I'll eat it slow. Slow. Slow. It'll still
satisfy. One cashew at a time. But it's a problem
when you sit there with a big bowl and you just
like shovel a bit. Shoveling, yeah. The whole
thing. Shoveling anything is not a good idea.
So I want to maybe, I got some nuts downstairs.
I'll bring us up. All a portion, a serving. A
fourth of a cup? Six notes. So I want to tell
you guys, so I got home late Friday, and then,
of course, Saturday was the Chuckster's birthday
party. Oh, yeah. Congratulations. I missed that.
He's really old now. And anyway, we were preparing
for the party, and we needed to get bourbon,
so we went to Total Wine, right? So I go with
my wife, and first off, Amanda says, oh. Sean
and Jeff were just here, and I'm like, those
sons of bitches. They cheated on me. It wasn't
me. Oh, that's what Kevin said. They cheated
on you. That's what Kevin said. I was like, they're
damn right they did. But what was funny is I
walked in there with Shelly, which never happens,
right? We didn't go with our wives, right? And
Amanda made some comment like, oh, haven't seen
you in a while, blah, blah, blah. And then the
next guy was like, oh, John. Remember John? John's
like, oh, you've never had a sample from me before.
Would you like a sample before? And then the
next guy's like, oh, you don't come here very
often. And I was like, guys, what are you doing?
Did you guys get together to convince my wife
that I don't have a problem? They're on the walkie
-talkie. Dirt pieces on his leg. Wife is present.
Yeah, we got a VIP. VIP with a wife. VIP with
a wife over. Eagle has landed. It was hilarious.
All of them were like colluding to make it seem
like, you know, I'm not a regular. But anyway,
it was hilarious. I was just thinking, we haven't
all been in there in a while. We need to make
sure if we're all in town this Friday that we
go. They get bothered when they don't see us.
I'm not lying. I mean, they love to see us. Yes.
They do. We've been out either traveling. My
work threw it off. traveling and shit like that.
I get too... toasty when we go in there, man.
We could do better. We could do better, but even
when you have two or three, it's still toasty.
No, they pour the smallest shots. No, they don't.
They absolutely do, because people from Total
Wine's bosses listen to this. They give us the
correct amount of... Oh, that's right. They give
us a small little portion. That's right, because
we get upset. Pour me a little bit more. And
I'm like, no, no. Sir, we can't do that. We don't
do that here. Yes. That's where we go and buy
a 10 -pack of those Jack Daniels little mini
bottles. We don't do that either. That has never
happened ever. Right. Yes. Well, we can go this
Friday. I don't know what we got going on. You're
not going to Kentucky. Your trip got canceled
because your wife has, what is it, lung herpes
or something? I don't know. Ebola. I don't know
what she has. A popcorn lung? Hemorrhoid. God,
these are very diverse diseases that she might
have. Well, Jeff went straight to the hemorrhoids.
I'm not sure what I'm going to see if she's got
all of this at the same time. Dangling. Dangling
hemorrhoids. Paul, can you rub some more salve
on my hemorrhoids? Cut it off. Just please cut
it off. Cleave it off. Wow. That's nasty. Yeah,
that's too much. Does she have Kessler syndrome?
Is that what she has? Could be. Could be Kessler
syndrome. Why don't you tell us about Kessler
syndrome? Yeah, but the Preparation H has that
new little insert nozzle. You just put it up
there. Oh. How do you know this? I mean, I've
got one in the bathroom. Just interesting. In
case you want to do that? Well, I don't have
hemorrhoids, but yeah. But you continuously treat
yourself. That's what I was getting at. Sean,
you don't have hemorrhoids. Why do you keep showing
that up your ass? It's just so easy. I use the
applicator with some bourbon, but lose it. It
just feels good, and it's preventative. Right.
All right. Tell us about Kessler. Is it even
close to what we're talking about here? No, not
at all. Not at all. My wife and I took a road
trip last week. We can get into that later. But
we rented an audio book to listen to on the way
up there. And it's a James Rollins Sigma Force
one called Bone Labyrinth. Actually, that's another
topic that we can get into. It's actually the
last Terminal List book that I just read by Jack
Carr. And what it is, is you know how we have
low orbit, middle orbit, and high orbit for satellites,
right? Yes. So most everything is in low orbit.
Right, because it's easier to deploy, way easier
to deploy low orbit satellites. It's the sixth
book, so that's only showing five up there. So
the sixth book is the one I just read, Red Sky
Morning. I need to read these. Which one did
I read? One, two, three, four, five. Only the
Dead? Yeah, Only the Dead is the one I just read.
Okay. And what it is, one of the plots was there
was a tech company, kind of like a Apple or –
anyway, he was trying to be as big as Google,
Apple, Tesla, SpaceX, that type of thing. So
he had aspirations. Okay. And he felt let down.
So he was working with the Chinese to kind of
take over the world. He was disillusioned with
America and all that stuff. So he was going to
launch a missile into low orbit with a million
– ping -pong ball -sized bearings, ball bearings.
And what that would do, it would start the Kessler
effect. This is a real thing that the satellites
up there do. So if one satellite explodes, it
creates the shrapnel, right? Oh, yeah. So then
it hits the next satellite. Basically, it's a
cascading... So he was going to take out all
the low orbit satellites. Right. So what happens
is it's a cascading thing. So if one blows up,
they all kind of chain react. And what happens
is you have this layer of junk that nothing can
get through. So you can't even launch satellites
into the mid because it can't get through this
layer of junk. It'll take out the rocket. And
they said it'll last 25 to 30 years for that
shit to finally fall to the thing. So if that
happens. all of our communications and everything
in low orbit is done. Wow. Cell phones. Which
is the whole global communication. Correct. All
the military, all that shit. So that's what they
were going for. So it's a real thing that could
potentially happen. And I read, because I went
out there and I started researching it, and they
said that the satellites, I think they may have
been specifically the SpaceX, that every three
minutes they are adjusting their space. They
are scanning out there for obstructions, and
they're moving themselves. So if one fucks up,
that could be it. That was actually the plot
of the movie Gravity. Oh, was it? Clooney and
what's her name? Sandra Bullock. Sandra Bullock.
Yeah, thank you. So it's a real thing, and it
could potentially happen, and if it does, it
would be catastrophic. Dang. It's so scary how
there are so many catastrophic things that could
happen, like the EMP. They talk about an EMP
detonating over North America or over the United
States, how it would wipe out all power, and
in 10 days, people start to die. You would think
that there would be an easier way to get rid
of that junk. I mean, won't it eventually just
burn into the atmosphere? Yeah, but like you
said, it takes years. Yeah, it takes 25 to 30
years for all that to... You couldn't nudge it?
Well, if you keep shooting stuff in there, it'll
just add to the junk. No, I mean, you get a flying
spacecraft. Oh, I don't know. There'd have to
be some kind of solution. Bunch of rubber around
it, like bumper cars just go in there, bonk,
bonk, bonk. I don't know. You would think that
they would have some kind of way, because 25,
30 years of you couldn't launch the moon, you
couldn't launch anything. That'd be bad. Because
you can't get through it. I mean, how fun would
that be to have an unmanned... Like a vacuum?
No, just unmanned craft up there, some sort of
drone -style thing with arms on there where you're
flying through space and you're just grabbing
the shit and freaking slinging it down in the
ocean. Well, how far out is low orbit for the
satellites? How many miles up is that? What's
low orbit? Ooh, we have to guess. We have to
guess. I'm going to say 30 miles. I'll say 22.
I'm going to say 45. All right. How many miles
is low orbit? What did I say? I forgot what I
said already. Oh, we're all wrong. Oh, God. Approximately
100 to 1 ,200 miles. We all underbid. Good Lord.
That was close. Low Earth orbit is typically
defined as orbit around Earth at altitudes approximately.
So how many miles is the moon? Oh, that's like
hundreds of thousands. Oh, yeah. Okay. Thank
you. I nailed that. I said hundreds of thousands.
It's just a quarter million. 238 ,855, which
is actually what's my next guess. I think picturing
that, that's why it's like 1 ,200 miles. That's
a lot. I guess not. No, it's not. Not when you
consider space. It's like from here to California.
That gives you some appreciation on how deep,
how thick our atmosphere is. Right. It's extremely
thick. So mid -Earth, there are satellites in
mid -Earth and high -Earth, but we don't have
very many, right? Mid -Earth. And in the book,
what China was doing is they were launching,
they had the most in high orbit, right? Right.
So this wasn't going to impact them. So they
were going to have control, basically, of the
world for the next 30 years. They just need to
launch a rocket with like a big net and just
sweep and capture. That's what I'm saying. Like
it's a pool or something? Or like a really long
pole with a net on the end of it. Yeah, like
a little pool cleaner. Yeah, we just kind of
fish it down. I mean, come on. They have robots
for that. Yeah. Magnet on the end. That's what
I'm saying. Get like some sort of unmanned drone
up there where you can just have it fly around.
I mean, I don't know how that stuff works, but
that'd be, I mean, what type of gravity is up
there? Is it something where they can maneuver
easy? Because if there's not that much gravity,
all it really has to do is just push it. It's
weightlessness. You should be able to accelerate
its drop. Well, this debris is going thousands
of miles per hour. It is. 10 ,000 miles, I think.
Let's guess that. How fast is the debris going?
I say 10 ,000. I say 33 ,000. I say 25 ,000.
How fast are satellites going? We're totally
on this game. 17 ,000. I said 33. You were over.
$17 ,500. I said $10 ,000. I said $25 ,000. You
both are over. If this price is right, I would
have won. You would have won. So that junk is
going to be traveling. I should have said one
mile per hour. You're next on the price is right.
Bullet speed, yes. So you've got to kind of factor
that in. How are you going to get it up there
traveling that fast? Well, it's not hard. Yeah,
it's not hard. It's not hard? Elon can do it.
No, that's true too. Well, to put it into low
orbit, it's not hard. If it's full of shit going
on like this, how are you going to get in there?
I don't know. I don't know. Ian, is it all running
one direction, or is it just a free -for -all?
It's probably going everywhere. Fucking microwave.
I don't know why he's making a toilet noise,
but it's kind of going everywhere. Another reason
why we don't have cameras right now. Really?
He's having a cerebral palsy attack. No kidding.
Interesting. So he told me to put Kessler syndrome
on the board, and I had no idea what it was.
Well, I'd never heard of it, but it's a real
thing. Yeah. And it's a possibility. Like I said,
these satellites are continually adjusting themselves
so they don't run into something. Right. And
we continue to launch satellites up there, namely
SpaceX. Speaking of launching, there's a lot
of shit being launched all over the Middle East
right now. Oh, like back and forth. Yes. Yeah.
I want to ruin it a little bit more about solutions
on how to solve this Kessler syndrome. I don't
think we're going to solve it. I mean, something
tells me our ideas are probably going to fall
apart. Oh, no, no, no. I would say you can have
like, in the event, just have like these airplanes.
Like C -130, constantly flying around the planet.
Yeah, but that's not even close to low orbit.
They're flying at 60 ,000 feet. It's okay. I
mean, how far? Do you have to be up that high?
Yeah. 1 ,200 miles? Yeah. If you're going to
do a really long pull with a net on the end of
it. Yeah, you got to get up. No, I'm not saying
to pull the stuff down. I'm saying as an alternative
to bounce your satellite signals. That's why
the satellites are up there, so we can send signals
down to bounce them back. Yeah, but those planes
were only going how fast? You know how long it
would take to get into position? You'd have to
have... No, I don't know. No, hold on. Thousands
of planes up there. I'm just saying simply add
repeaters out into the... as high as those planes
can go. You know, just put some repeaters out
there. Instead of having satellites, satellites
are super small. What about balloons? Yeah, but
they're in orbit. Oh, you know what? Balloons
are actually a pretty good idea, too. Yeah, but
they're in... I mean, you have to be in orbit.
Do you? Yeah. Why? Yeah. Because, I mean, otherwise
you're constantly burning fuel or you're at the
mercy of the wind for balloons or fuel for the
airplanes. You have to pick your battles. If
you're not going to have a signal... Oh, okay.
You're saying if it happens. Yeah. If you're
starting to get some blockage, then you have
to come up with some alternatives and you just
have to create a network of balloons. Of something.
Yeah. Well, that's a good point. Yeah. But I
don't... Would it have the... It probably has
to have the elevation or the, you know. Well,
I think your footprint would be a lot smaller.
Yes. Right? You wouldn't be able to bounce signals
all over the world. And you can't position them.
It would require more. Right? Because you see
these movies, you're like, how soon are we going
to have the satellite over Afghanistan so we
can see what's going on? That'll be three hours.
Well, let me throw a curveball at you. What happens
if they sever the umbilicals between the continents?
The transatlantic cables and shit? Yeah, the
cables. I mean, that's a big deal. Is it now
that we have satellites? Are the cables that
important? I don't know. What travels on those
anymore? I wouldn't think it's all that important.
I think it's extremely important. It's all telegram.
I think a lot of the banks use those secure lines.
All the ATMs? I just think it's a secure data
as opposed to running it through a satellite,
which anyone can interpret. I guess they could
do the same thing on those. They just dive down
and tap into... I think there was a movie where
I saw something where they were tapping into
the transatlantic so they could glean some information.
Maybe. Some spy movie. I think the post office
still shoots those little canisters. These pigeons?
No, the canisters that go... Oh, yeah, the vacuum
tubes. Don't they send those through the cables
underneath the ocean? Oh, yeah, they're just
big vacuums. God, can you imagine getting caught
in that? So AI says the transatlantic cables
are still active in use and are a critical part
of our global communication. While older telegraph
cables are no longer in service, modern fiber
optic cables carry the vast majority of international
telecommunications traffic, including internet
data and phone calls. Really? So they're continuing
to lay more cable? Oh, yeah, because it's easier
and easier. Because before they were laying these
long extended copper wires. Now it's a fiber
optic. It's an optical. It's just one little
cable. Do they just have a boat and they just
drop this and it lays wherever it lays? A big
spool on the end of it. It just falls wherever
it falls kind of thing? I'm sure they have nodes
where it made a repeating node out there. I don't
know how that works. I think they hit some. Oh,
that's Europe. I was going to say, that kind
of looks like they hit a little turbulence there.
Look at all those cables running across the Atlantic
Ocean. That's crazy. I knew they were there,
but I didn't know how much was still being, even
one up to Greenland. No shit. Look at that. Greenland.
Greenland. You say it differently than most people.
Oh, look at this. Iceland and there's Greenland.
And America. America. Poland. Poland. Yeah, I
don't think you say it that way. Anyway, so yeah,
that's fascinating. I didn't know all those cables
were still in use. And not only still in use,
it handles the majority, you said. Yeah. It's
a critical part of our global communication.
Damn. So if they're using fiber, that's as fast
as light, right? Because it's a light through
there. So modern cables are fiber optic. Unlike
the older copper cables used for telegraphy,
modern transatlantic cables utilize fiber optic
technology for much faster and higher capacity
data transmission. Good Lord, look at all those.
So how long would it take for a signal fiber
optically to go from New York to London? What's
that distance? Wow. I'm going to go with 1 .2,
no, 21 seconds. What, to travel? Yeah, you have
to guess. I'd say like half a second to a second.
It'd be a millisecond because it travels at what,
287 miles per hour? Yeah. 87 ,000 miles and it's
going 14 ,000 kilometers? All right, come on.
Tell us how fast a signal travels in the cable.
So while he's looking that up, these cables carry
between 95 % and 99 % of all international telecommunication
traffic. Yeah, that's terrifying. So what are
all these satellites doing up there? Yeah, what
the hell? We don't need them anyway. Well, that's
what I'm saying. I think the Kessler thing is
paramount under certain conditions. I think a
lot of the military stuff is up there. I know
a lot of self -service telecommunication stuff
is. That's a good point. Spy satellites and shit
like that, right? So they can put it anywhere
in the world, right? And look at the bin Laden
compound in Pakistan, right? So it travels in
a vacuum, which is fiber optic. It travels at
about 67 % of its speed. So 67 % of it, so it's
200 ,000 kilometers per second. Good Lord. Damn.
I was way off. And it's going 14 ,000 kilometers.
You just do that math. It's less than a tenth
of a second. Yeah, that's a millisecond. I was
right. A tenth of a second? A millisecond is
a thousandth of a second. Oh, shut up. Anyways.
So when I edit this and I fact check, we're all
going to be wrong. Of course. Completely wrong.
He has it up. Yeah, I know. Yeah, it helps. Having
Chuck instantaneously fact check us really, really
helps. Because you're wrong all the time. It
minimizes the time that we're stupid. You know
what I mean? Yes. All right. Cool. All right.
Well, there's been a lot of things that have
happened in the last week. You sparked it up
a little bit about the bombs. Dude, Iran and
Israel. What a shit show that is. Well, I don't
know how much Iran has left. I know they're supposedly
reached out to talk. Well, yeah. I mean, they
have to be. They're running out of options. They
probably had one, maybe two good volleys left,
maybe. Yeah, because you know that planes are
still flying over of Iran and taking out whatever
missile batteries they can find. Well, it's also
they're taking out their F -14s from 1979 that
they purchased. Yes, and leadership and military
installations. They have full air superiority.
Yeah. I know the last of the F -14s, right? Yeah,
the last ones. Oh, the last ones on the planet?
Yeah. The Tomcats? I was going to say that. From
Top Gun? Top Gun. So you know what's so interesting
about this thing is they waited 60 days, right?
Trump said you have 60 days to come to the table
and work out a deal. And then on the 61st day...
Israel launched its attack. And then Trump was
like, hey, I gave you 60 days. You didn't do
anything. You weren't serious about it. And then
Israel started kicking the shit out of them.
Because remember, last year they knocked out
all of their air defenses. Yeah, they have no
air defense. Yeah, they knocked them all out
last year. And they did that because this whole
thing was all in motion. Yes. Well, they've completely
beat them down. They've taken out their proxies,
Hezbollah, Hamas, and Houthis. Yep. Right. Those
are all. for the most part, gone. Yep. But they're
not a threat, for sure. Yeah, they're not a threat.
They're not gone yet, but they're not a threat.
Right. And then they took out all their defenses
and everything. And even before this happened,
I heard that Iran's regime is teetering on the
edge. Yeah. And then Mossad is assassinating
just everyone in sight. Yeah. Yeah. Apparently
they've taken out like 40 leaders now, 20 to
40 leaders. I mean, this is ripe for... A civil
war. Well, also what I'm hearing is the people
of Iran do not like their leadership. They never
have. Yeah. But I'm curious what they're going
to do. I mean, is Iran, are there Christians
there? Yeah. Yeah. Not a lot, but. I wonder if
it's still going to be under quote unquote Muslim
control. Oh, absolutely. I'm sure it will be.
Yeah. They're not going to give up their religion.
They just don't want to be oppressive. So the
ideology is still going to be the same. No, just
not as... The religion will be the same. The
ideology will be different. Correct. Remember,
this is a radical theocracy. And moderate Muslims
that are oppressed by their own theocracy are
like, yeah, we're not on board with this. Because
if you see Iran back in the 70s, it was very
contemporary. Yeah, it was. As a matter of fact,
it was very modern. It was very west -leaning.
Yes. I mean, they were... You know, they had
the fashion and music, and they were becoming
a Western -like culture. Yeah. Girls in the skirts
and everything. Yeah, with makeup on. And then
if you remember, yeah, I mean, look at that.
Girls going to school and whole nine yards. And
then if you remember, the Shah came over for
surgery and all that. And then he, I don't know
if he got assassinated or he died. That's when
the Ayatollahs took over. Yeah, then it was a
coup. Yeah, then it was a coup, and the Ayatollahs
took over, and all this went away. And then all
the embassy people got kidnapped. Yep. Right?
That's how it all went down during Carter. Yep.
So. Carter was so awful. Yeah, he was weak. Look
at that. Yeah, but those pictures of a bunch
of girls wearing. Wearing shorts. Western clothes.
Short, short clothes where you can see their
butts. I don't know. Well, not bare butts, but
you know, you can see what they look like. Well,
it looked like the, looked like. Western society.
Yeah. So that's why they kind of brought them
back to, you know, strict Islamic. rule right
so that that's my my point though there's still
going to be a lot of oppression you know there's
they're still going to be throwing homosexuals
off of buildings you know they're i don't know
that's a good question because there are moderate
there's less there's more moderate like look
at jordan i'd like to try to jordan's actually
a good example right i don't think jordan's doing
that's not oppressive at all right And I don't
think they're doing that kind of like the Taliban
and the Iranians. I wonder if they still follow
like the Koran or is there an Islam light that
is going to be extracted from the Koran? No,
I think it's the same Koran. I mean, I think
there's just different sects that interpret it
in more radical ways. Just like here, you know,
you have the hardcore Christians who are vastly
against homosexuality. Oh, yeah. I don't know
if they're killing them, but there's swings of
different values with even the folks who read
the Bible. Yeah, the hardcore Baptists, right?
They're like, they don't want music and they
don't know drinking, no music, no this, no that.
And you got those Mormons, I forget his name,
the Koresh. David Koresh? David Koresh. Was he
a Mormon? No, he was not a Mormon. No, no, but
he was a derivative of some sort of weird religion
cult where they suppressed and oppressed women
and sexualized them. Well, he took the little
girls as wives. So anyway, going back to the
geopolitical part of this, so really Iran doesn't
have a lot to fight back with right now. That's
what I mean. They have no leverage. I wonder
how many volleys of missiles they actually had.
Were they just like, maybe we have one, maybe
two? I don't know. I don't know. Because I've
seen some made it through. Yes, they did. That
was surprising to me. Yeah. Maybe it was just
too many. We just kind of, yeah, we kind of felt
like Israel was impervious. Yeah. With their
iron dome and their this and their that. Maybe
they shot their huge load and they were like,
well, let's see if this does it kind of thing
one last time. That's all they got. And then,
because they did it twice, I think, didn't they?
Over the course of a day or two days, maybe?
I don't know. I haven't been following too much.
I've been on the fucking road. So, in my opinion,
the regime absolutely is vulnerable. I don't
know if it's teetering, but it's vulnerable.
It's vulnerable from an internal, civil coup
perspective. It's absolutely decimating. It makes
you wonder, if you push them in the corner, what
are they going to do? I mean, what do they have?
Do they have a nuclear weapon? No. Do you get
Libya out of it? I don't think we want... You're
saying Libya would get involved? No, no, no.
I meant Iran would become Libya. Oh, where it
falls into total chaos. Yeah, yeah, I got you.
That's what Gaddafi got axed. Yeah, we don't
want to nation -build. I don't want any scenario
where we're starting to put American peacekeepers
on the ground and we're helping them build their
government. I don't know. I have hope because
Syria had a relatively peaceful... Overthrow.
Right. Syria did. Yeah. Like Assad, right? Yeah,
Assad went into exile. That's right. And he was
in power for, what, 30 years? A long time. Yeah.
A total oppressive dictator, right? It depends
on who you ask, but yeah. Yeah, yeah, I hear
you. And then, so they have, you know, the rebels
have this lightning fast attack and somehow shocked
the world and, you know, knocked Assad out and
he went into exile. And they have been relatively
stable since. And we didn't have to do shit.
Now, maybe stuff was happening behind the scenes,
like CIA, and maybe that kind of stuff was happening.
I don't know. But that's what I'm hoping for,
is Iran has a relatively, you know... Oh, wow,
what's going on with all that video? That's in
Israel. Oh, they're hitting Israel. Yeah. There's
some getting through. Damn. Is that now? Is that
right now? This was as of an hour ago, yeah.
Oh, shit. And they're all coming in. You know
what? Also, their missile defense is smart enough
to let missiles that won't hit anything strike
the ground. So that doesn't necessarily mean
that they're hitting good targets. Correct. But
damn, look at that. Wow. There's a lot of that
that are hitting the ground there. That's not
good. Anyway, dude, this is major geopolitical
developments in this week. This is 40 years in
the making. The big deal. Yeah, that was 1978,
79 when the Ayatollahs took over. Yep. This is
a big, big deal. You'll have to see how this
plays out. And Trump is stocking up a game, man.
It's crazy. Well, you know, I just want him to
continue to shut the fuck up. You know, just
kind of take as far as a backseat as you can.
I don't want to get involved in any other bullshit.
I don't need shenanigans. We don't need to invest
any more money into any other country. We need
to take care of ourselves. Yeah, I do not want
to get into, I don't want to have a hand in this
war. No question about it. We could take care
of some humanitarian stuff if they need some
help, humanitarily wise, but, you know, no. We
don't need tanks on the ground, feet on the ground.
We'll let Israel do the work. Trump is actually,
I think, more of a pacifist than anything because
he's always been kind of anti -war. He is. You
know. Trying to end conflict, but he's also not
afraid to, Correct. He's not afraid to go if
there, if he needs to, but he doesn't. That's
not his first option. No. It's like his last
kind of thing. And if they bomb a U .S. base,
it's not going to be pretty. Right. It's going
to be like he will unleash for real. So I don't
know. Anyway, that's some fascinating stuff that's
happened this week. Hold on real quick. Did you
see the video of the Iranian lady newscaster?
She was on TV. I don't know what she was saying
because my sound was off. She was probably also
an Iranian. She's probably talking shit. Probably.
And also her station gets hit. We are not afraid.
We will crush you. Ah, fuck. Fuck. Yeah, there
she is right there. Missile incoming. Missile
incoming. Three, two, one. No, she's like, holy
shit. Yeah, she's like, peace out. I need to
go away. I'm out. Oh, man. Hey, look, it sucks.
I don't want to see anybody die. I know. I know.
I just want them to go away. Just, you know,
go live your life the way you want, but just
don't do it near me. Don't go away mad. Far,
far away. Don't go away mad. Just go away. Yeah.
I hear you. Just live your life, man. Don't try
to kill everyone else who doesn't agree with
you. Living your life is important. That's what
we've been doing the last, what you've been doing,
Jeff. We did this last week. Chuck's birthday
was here. We did a little celebrating at my house.
You were gone. You couldn't make it. You were
traveling abroad. You want to chat about that?
Gallivanting everywhere. That's all right. Hey,
man, look, I'm happy for you. You know what?
You're in a perfect spot right now. Yeah, we
went to, my wife and I, we got some friends who
actually just got married about a month ago,
and they have been working to move to Wyoming.
And he bought some acres, I think about 35 acres
or so, by Laramie somewhere. And the house they
were going to put there kind of fell apart. They
kept getting kicked back, kicked back, kicked
back. Was that because Chinese bought the neighboring
house? No, it's just supply chain. Oh, materials
and stuff. Not materials, but there's not a lot
of people up there to actually do the work. Oh,
wow. Right? So you have to bring people in because
the population, the entire state of Wyoming is
under 400 ,000. Dang. The entire state. So, you
know, finding good people to work at, finding,
and, you know, a lot of people. I can go there
and work at being a carpenter. 100 % you could.
How long, how long ago did they buy the land?
He bought it in 2018, I think. Damn. That land
that you were showing the video of? No. The rivers
and stuff? No, this was a different plot of land.
Okay. And like I said, it kept falling through
and everything, and it was doubling in price,
the price of this house that they kept putting
on there. Oh, damn. Because shit kept going up,
right? And it was taking so long, price kept
going up. So finally they're like, forget that.
So they started looking like, what else is out
there? And he found this, his realtor actually
had, And the lady who owned this, her husband
just died. They're extremely wealthy. And they
have multiple homes across the United States
and the world, right? This was one of them. They
would come out in the summertime and live there.
And they built this. It's a log cabin. It's on
two acres. And it sits between two rivers. Their
land is kind of a wedge. And I sent you a picture
of it. And it's snow melt right now. It's rushing.
That is a rushing river. It's like rapids. And
it's happening on both sides of their house.
I wonder if it's going to deteriorate the land
eventually. No. That'll wash the house away if
it floods. That's what I'm saying. No, because
I ask that. I go, they have to buy flood insurance.
You never know. What's going to prevent it from
washing it away? The other side is a lot lower.
So their house is up here. The other side of
the river is a lot lower. So if water comes in,
it's going that way. It has somewhere to go.
It's going that way. Now, could something catastrophic
happen? No, I meant like just the natural wear
and tear of earth movement from the wet water.
Well, I'm sure over time, you know, if you see
some erosion, you're going to pull some folks
out there to reinforce that, right? Sure. Especially
if you're rich. Anyway. Put some big rocks in
there like you fell off. Yeah, they're actually
in Centennial, Wyoming. And when I say it is
remote out there, it is remote. Really? It's
not like driving around. Frisco and Prosper,
there's nothing out there. And it's just open.
I mean, look at that town that they live in.
There's nothing. They have a liquor store? A
total wine? They have a couple restaurants, and
their store is that friendly store. It's like
a little general store that you see in these
old towns. Yeah. You know, if you want a gallon
of milk or something like that. Sure. Otherwise,
you're driving, you know, half an hour into Laramie.
Damn. They have Amazon delivery? Yes, they don't
have overnight. They said it takes two to three
days. Still? That's amazing. But during the wintertime,
you know, it could take longer because they'll
get feet of snow, right? So how'd they get this
land? That must suck. Their real estate agent,
because it wasn't even on the market yet, but
the real estate agent kind of, I guess, knew
this lady. They all do. And they took them out
there, and it was during October. They have aspens
out there. If you know what aspens are. Tremendously
beautiful. It was bright yellow. There's just
the acreage of this, and the rivers were on both
sides. And they said it was magical. And he looked
at his fiancée at the time and goes, she goes,
yes, this is the one I want. And they could afford
it? I mean, it wasn't like crazy expensive? No.
I don't know. I didn't ask how much they paid
for it, but they bought it. And one of the contingencies
is that she was an interior designer. And she
bought all this furniture specifically for this
house. So they had to buy the furniture as well.
But she's got some very unique pieces in there.
Oh, I see. The seller was saying the furniture
goes with it. But they had some very unique pieces
in there, a lot of paintings and stuff like that
that are worth some money. So, yeah, they're
in those trees somewhere. Your video was amazing.
Yeah. Of the water going by. Oh, I thought you
were talking about the bourbon glass. Oh. Well,
that too. Right. Yeah. That was a nice surprise
at the very end. I was like, oh, look at that.
He's showing the river, the rushing water. He's
panning down, and all of a sudden this beautiful
glass of bourbon shows up in the picture. Yeah,
so it's absolutely stunning. The house was beautiful.
Well done. They're talking about expansion, putting
the deck on. Every day I'd sit out there. They
had a bench sitting out there by the river, and
I'd just sit there for an hour or two hours and
just read my book. It was beautiful. They have
moose. They'll come through and just plop down
on the land. Did you see any of them? We saw
them not on their property, but we saw them on
one of our drives going over to the distillery
we hit, and we went over to Saratoga. You should
have took out your pocket knife and chased it
down. Those things are fucking huge, man. Pocket
knife, huh? Huge. That would be your strategy,
Sean? That's your strategy? Stab its eyeball
out. Your moose hunting strategy? You got to
blind it if it can't see you. Yeah, we went to
Saratoga, beautiful. I got one eye. I got one
eye. It's like, where is he? And he said that
there's an extreme amount of money that lives
there. Oh, I bet. A ton of millionaires, billionaires.
All from California. I guess Bill Gates owns
a bunch of property out there. Of course he does.
Of course he does. He goes, yeah, apparently
he hangs out in Centennial, where they live.
Bill Gates does. He goes, I've never seen him
yet. Apparently he comes out there quite sometimes.
Make him a nice special shit sandwich for him.
And he said that there's an airport in Saratoga
that a lot of the extremely wealthy come out
to because apparently there's a very exclusive
golf course out there. He goes, whenever I drive
by and go to Saratoga, which they go like every
week because there's hot springs over there,
they'll look to try to catch what private jets
are there. And he goes, sometimes you'll see
a dozen of these private jets just lined up there.
And they go to a golf course. They go golfing.
So I don't know if that's it or where it's at.
You know, I hate that, though. It kind of makes
it feel like. That would have to be the golf
course. I mean. Probably. Don't you hate the
fact that it seems like the most beautiful places
on earth are just reserved for the ultra rich?
You know what I mean? I know your friends are
probably not in that category, and it's probably
absolutely not true what I'm saying. But you
know what? You know, though? Right. It just seems
like for you to be able to afford this beautiful
country, you just have to be. I think that when
they find beautiful spots like that, I think
that there's some sort of, and this is on the
far, you know, you guys probably call me a conspiracy
theorist, but I don't give a shit. Maui? I don't
know how the fire started. Nobody knows, but
there was no water, and shit happened. Didn't
you say that Oprah was apparently roped into
that conspiracy theory? Well, it was understood
that she was bidding to buy all the stuff. I'm
sure. Because the government was going to be
taking it over, and then they were going to go
ahead and pass it out. Also, LA. The LA fires.
Same scenario. Fires, you know, it's a desirable
place to be. So, I mean, if you're part of this...
Is it really desirable right now? Well, no. I
mean, not with the politics going on. But the
land itself out there, it's beautiful. Oh, it
is. California is absolutely beautiful. And even
if it's not a conspiracy theory, even if those
things were set on purpose, that kind of thing,
it still sucks that when those things happen,
the people who benefit are the fucking ultra
-rich. You know what I mean? So either way, either
way, it's like a shitty situation. Like, in other
words, the people that live there can't afford
to rebuild. And then, you know, somebody comes
in and sweeps it all up and then out they go.
Right. How do we feel about this? I mean, look,
I am happy. I'm tickled to death that we have
these military soldiers supporting our local
officers and these immigration. peaceful riots
that they got going on. Yeah, quote, quote, peaceful
riots. Mostly peaceful fires. If they weren't
there, if those guys were not there to keep the
peace, it'd be a thousand times worse. Oh, it
would have been way worse. And they would have
let it happen. 100 % would have let it happen.
Out in California? Yes, in LA. Anywhere. I mean,
even like in Texas and downtown Austin, there
were some shenanigans going on. Downtown Dallas,
there was shit going on. Downtown McKinney, there's
people coming out everywhere. I am so thankful
that law and order is being restored. If they
want to protest, let them do that. But once they
get out of hand. Fuck them up. Yeah. I think
that's kind of the message that some of these
sheriffs were saying. If you protest, but if
you cross the line, you touch, spit, punch, whatever.
Any of my officers. Expect mortality. The whole
concept of no kings is just absurd. It's retarded.
I mean, he's not a king. He doesn't think he's
a king. He doesn't want to be king. I heard this.
We already have a no kings day. It's called July
4th Independence Day. Amen. That's right. Amen,
brother. What was that all about? To kick the
damn king out of the United States. All this
is is TDS, man. Trump derangement syndrome. They're
protesting everything. I know. Because they've
got nothing left, dude. A lot of these people,
at least some of the pictures I've seen, I don't
know about here in Frisco, but a lot of the folks
that I see out in California were a bunch of
old folks because they're just old and liberal.
What I'm also enjoying is that we're being smarter.
At least they're being forthright with their
Investigations. They caught the people that were
passing out all those bionic masks. They caught
them. They're going to figure out who funded
that. I think that's amazing. There are different
people that are professional protesters and they're
busting them. I don't care about this. I think
it's silly, but I don't care. They could do this
all day. I don't care. It is what it is, but
as soon as you start getting to the street...
And causing problems, that's where I have the
problem. So here's what I was, okay, a couple
things. This No Kings thing was nationwide, right?
It was nationwide. And apparently like over a
million people participated in various No Kings
things. Sure, sure. How much shit went down for
the most part? Was it quiet? I don't know because
I asked you guys how it's going here. It was
very quiet. You want to know why? Because we,
we being the right or the anti -protesters, didn't
bother going out there and causing any problems.
Let them do their thing. It was relatively peaceful.
There was a couple incidents here and there.
But we didn't do the shit that they do. I hate
the we and they, but it's the reality. It's true.
Right. So remember, whenever we were doing rallies,
Antifa would show up and Antifa would start messing
up with their black outfits. Black masks and
shit. Did we do any of that? No. And that's why
everything was relatively peaceful across the
nation. And does anybody call that out? No. Well,
I mean, there's Antifa here. They had bikers
out there that were silencing some of those Antifa
players. Yeah. Oh, you mean way back when, though?
No, not this past week. They have motorcycle
gangs out there that were protecting some of
the... They were keeping the peace? They were.
They were hunting. They were hunting for Antifa.
But I didn't think there were anti -protesters,
were there? There were Antifa people there. Okay.
So I don't know what the function was, except
to cause chaos. Well, Antifa, I think, is different
than what these folks are, right? These are just
libs being idiots. Antifa takes... They're agitators,
the Antifa is. Well, let me rephrase that. Instigators.
There may not be Antifa, but they had black clothes
on, masks on. They were dressed up in the same
Antifa garb. It probably was Antifa. It probably
was. Because they wanted this to turn violent.
Yes. Antifa's a violent organization. 100%. These
folks here stay on the other side of the road.
And they're funded to cause problems. Correct.
Right. Yeah, and they're getting paid $150 a
day, at least $150 a day. They interviewed some
of these guys. They were like, yeah, someone
approached me, and I got like six of my friends
were all getting paid. And he was just like,
I decided I didn't want to do it. I went out
there, and then my friends are like destroying
things. I was like, I love America. I don't really
want to do this. This is stupid. So that makes
me question, okay, we had all these people. Okay,
well, how many are really? behind it or are they
just kind of paid idiots paid or they get paid
cash by the way or what because you never see
really people getting interviewed on the street
because they're fucking idiots right so and they're
keeping the people these people that they're
they're bringing yeah see these people are are
the agitators they're grabbing them and they're
they're recording who they are gonna track them
down archive them Follow their bank accounts?
So pathetic. I hate it. We're watching a video
of them. This is Portland. Portland's a mess
anyway. Anyway, I was happy to see that it was
pretty much nonviolent nationwide. And I attribute
it to the fact that we didn't go out and anti
-protest. The right. The right did not. Oh, wow.
That dude got slingshot. Yeah, yeah. He's not
going to feel good. They have all kinds of stories
where people are getting hit with these rubber
balls and the freaking forehead walking away.
Like the next day, they got a big old dot in
the middle of their forehead. Ow. Ow. These driver
bullets. Oh, yeah. I mean, come on. You know
what? Look, and people get run over. And DeSantis
said, hey, look, you're in the fucking middle
of the street in Florida. I just signed a bill
that says if you're in the street, you block
the car and you cause a riot. And the driver
wants to flee. He's allowed to flee. Right. the
way sucks to be you yeah too bad too bad so sad
you try to commit suicide is what we call that
yeah fofa yeah crazy all right so what else did
you do on your trip beautiful wyoming oh yeah
again i recommend uh going there skip the jackson
hole because that's fucking expensive which is
all the california that's what the jackson hole
jackson hole is very touristy what is that that's
in that's on the west side that might be the
capital right No, I don't think so. I think Laramie
or Cheyenne is, yeah. Jackson Hole is on the
west side, and that's where the Grand Tetons
are and Yellowstone. The valley in western Wyoming.
Yeah, that's an extremely expensive place to
visit and to live. Like $28 hamburgers? Just
probably is even more. I don't know. We didn't
go, but it's beautiful. I imagine if you can
get there, do it. But where we were at. Absolutely
stunning. Medicine Bow National Park. Stunning.
And it's not crowded at all. Nice. And there's
Airbnbs out there. Laramie is one of the major
cities, and there's only 30 ,000 people that
live there. Beautiful. You know? I like that
plan. I like being where it's not crowded. No
lines, no traffic. Nothing. In the middle of
nowhere. They had a downtown that kind of reminded
me of McKinney. It had restaurants. It had bars.
Now there's University of Colorado is there.
So you get during, I guess, during the school
year, you'll have some of that going on. But,
you know, it's absolutely beautiful. They have
$4 drinks. We went to a brewery there. Some stripper
bars. I didn't see any of those. Laveres or something.
Yeah, he saw the little bear. I know he did.
Yeah, we were there, me and... Julian's like,
okay, you have an hour. I'll see you later. Did
you bring your bow tie? Bonds Brewing. Bonds
Brewing. That's where we went. He's in there
like Chris Farley. Yeah, he and Patrick. That's
what it would look like, too. That'd be horrible.
Yeah. But Bonds Brewing, it was good. You know,
it's a brewery, you know, and they have all kinds
of restaurants. And one of the days, it was Tuesday,
we went to tea. Tea. Tea. Like iced tea? Tea
bag? Like English tea. Oh, hot tea. It was high
tea, but it was tea at 10 on Tuesday, so it was
at 10 o 'clock. And they brought out, they had
all of this kind of tea. I got a chai tea pot.
It was like a little. Marijuana? No, a little
pot of tea. Oh. Did you start speaking in like
a German, in a British accent? The thumb was
sticking out. Good day, my. Hello. And they brought
out a little tray of sandwiches. Did your teeth
all of a sudden become discolored and crooked?
It was. I had British teeth all of a sudden.
I'm sorry. Are British teeth discolored? Yes,
they did not. It's the cliche. They have the
national health care, so they didn't go to the
dentist. I didn't know. I didn't know that. What
did you say? How'd you describe the teeth again?
I said it's colored and crooked. They are. British
teeth. I don't know if it's still that way, but
British did not take care of their teeth at all.
Oh, that is so interesting. I've actually never
heard that characterization of British people.
Yeah, so I asked one of the Craig who grew up
there. I was like, how come? How come your teeth
are all bad over there? He's like, well, it's
because we never went to the dentist. I guess
so. Because it was not part of the national plan,
huh? I guess, yeah. Wow. So they all have wooden
teeth now? Yeah, so we went to have tea, which
was interesting. We had some really good little
snack cakes and cupcakes. God, that's so snobby.
Oh, yes, we're going to have tea. Would you like
to join us for tea? Would you like this crumpet?
Yes, they had crumpets and little cucumber sandwiches.
Your teeth are discolored and crooked. Would
you like some Grey Poupon? Right. It was called
Sugar something. The Sugar Mouse. That's where
we went. The Sugar Mouse Cupcake. That sounds
suspect. It sure does. Wait till you see the
inside of it. Nasty. Hi, my name is Jordan. It
is. Are you guys going to the Pride Parade? Yeah,
that's it. Did they have any Pride Parade stuff
going on, especially on Saturday? No, they didn't.
No, they did not. They had a celebration of our
250 years of Army. The ultra -rich don't do stuff
like that. Oh. No. Well, these folks here aren't
the ultra -rich. Oh, well. Did you guys celebrate
Donald Trump's birthday on Saturday? Yeah, that's
where we were at. That's why they had the parade,
I thought. Yeah, that was. But anyway, it was
interesting. I never did anything like that before.
I never had tea, high tea. but it was good. It
was fun, huh? It was a fun experience? It was.
No, but it was good. It was busy as shit, too.
She had the market, man. It was busy. But yeah,
see the little tray there? That's exactly what
we had there. Look, I love tea. I drink tea almost
every single day. I do not. I'm not a fan. I
will drink iced tea, but I can't drink any hot
liquids. I don't know why. What? I can't drink
hot liquid. Why? I don't like hot chocolate.
I don't like hot tea. You don't like hot tea
and bourbon like we had up in Colorado? No. Hot
toddy? That was your thing. Oh my God, this is
the best drink ever. It was. I'm going to add
honey. Have you had that since? No. Literally
not once. But it wasn't convenient. Right. Plus,
I wasn't in Colorado. Colorado was different.
I was kind of like, oh, this is nice. He was
emotional when he found this drink. So after
that, after Wyoming, we spent four days up there.
We went to Brush Creek Distillery, which is...
Brush Creek. Brush Creek, which is... Okay, never
heard of that one. It is a luxury ranch. It's
thousands of acres. It's a working ranch. And
it's between... Yeah, that's it right there.
That's where we're at. That's the tasting room.
That's where we're at. and it's a luxury ranch,
and they have, it's almost like a luxury dude
ranch. You know, we can go and actually participate
and stuff like that. Sure, and you are signed
a horse, and you get to take care of it for two
weeks. Yeah, well, they have rooms there. It's
$3 ,000 a night. Like a brothel? Oh, my God.
$3 ,000 a night. $3 ,000 a night. More expensive
than a brothel. Yeah, that's during the on -season.
On the off -season, it's half price, but your
meals are included. Everything's included. Your
women? Yes. All your whores. A little reach around.
Jab. You mispronounced horse. Yes. Oh, horse.
Yes. Yeah, your horse is included. Oh, it gets
a complimentary horse. But the restaurant there
is supposed to be next level. It's $170, $180
a person. Dude, that's a lot. $3 ,000 for a night?
Ridiculous. That's ridiculous. It is. I mean,
I guess, you know what? If you've got the money,
what the hell? Yeah. Yes. There you go. That's
the key. Yeah. If you've got so much money, you
don't know what to do with it, go to Wyoming.
I guess security is super top notch because those
are the type of people that would go there and
afford it. Well, that's very Yellowstone -ish
because you're out there and it's everybody is
stay out of my shit, basically. Cape off my property
or I'll shoot you kind of a place. Yeah. They're
real big on freedom. Yeah. And privacy. Yeah.
And the security, you know, it's a bunch of ranch
workers out there that, you know, they'll beat
the shit out of you if you look at them sideways
kind of a place, right? So that's kind of, that's
what lives out there, right? So, you know, when
we were driving down the side of the road, they
had a big cattle run. So they had all the horse
trailers, had all the horses lined up and all
the cattle. And it was like for real? Yeah. Was
it like being in Hereford, Texas where you could
smell all the cow manure? I didn't smell much
cow manure out there. You smell the methane that's
destroying the environment? Yeah, they were capturing
all that. Oh, good. I sent them my design. Oh,
your butt mask? Yes, yes. Excellent, excellent.
So I bought a bottle. It's out there. It's a
rye. I thought it was their best. They had some
barrel strength out there. Pretty good? It was.
The barrel strength was, I think, a little young.
It was really hot, so I didn't buy it. Ooh, gotcha.
Yeah. So anyway, it was outstanding. I highly
recommend, we can get into the rest of it later,
but Wyoming, highly recommend going up there
because you'll escape it all as far as big city,
there's no traffic. Now, will we be able to meet
your friends and stay there as well? I don't
know. I didn't broach that topic. Do they have?
They have one room. Yeah. Well, they have their
bedroom and then one other bedroom. Oh, okay.
That'd be kind of weird. I'm not going with you
then, Sean. You can go. Do they have room for
a trailer to park? Actually, I guess bringing
an RV would probably be the best thing, but hell,
it would take forever to get there. You guys
drove? How long did it take? It drove. We did
it in two days. We drove to Raton, New Mexico,
and that took nine hours to get out there. Then
we stopped at Garden of the Gods on the way up
there. Did you take some pictures by that? Yeah.
We didn't do the Manitou. And then we, it was
about two and a half hours to get to there, and
then another three hours to get to their place.
So it was about a total of 14 -hour drive, if
you did it straight through, 14, 15 -hour drive.
To Wyoming? Yeah. So you took 25 through Denver
all the way up? 25 is an asshole road, by the
way. Yeah, it is, totally. Yeah. But you took
25 all the way, okay. Yeah, I mean, look, I mean,
it's right across the border. It sure is. So
it's not. Far into Wyoming. So it was about five
hours from Raton. That's not bad at all, actually.
New Mexico. So, yeah, I mean, it was about 14,
15 -hour drives. It was probably close to 15.
We'd stop it for lunch and take it to shit and
stuff like that. We have a bourbon. where we
have not discussed. And we're coming up on, I
think, 10 minutes. I accidentally just pulled
my back. Oh, accidentally. Oh, I see what you're
doing. You downed it on purpose so you could
get another point. Oh, come on. I mean, you guys
do that every other time. I actually have never
done that before. Yeah, we're going to have to
come up with some new ground rules here. So this
one is what Sean likes to call an advent, right?
This is one of the lower proof ones that I got,
but I got it because, You can't buy this anywhere
except at the distillery. Yeah. Yeah. So let's
enlighten our listeners out there what the Advent
thing is. So Jeff went on as many trips he's
taken lately, which is good for you, to Kentucky,
and he comes back with a smorgasbord of whiskeys
and very high -end distillery -only bottles.
We were going to be like little kids and open
them all up, and I was like, we decided let's
just open them up one at a time, and it'll be
our little advent calendar until we get around.
So this week's is – This is Willett's Finest
Quality Old Bardstown Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Whiskey, 100 proof, 50 % alcohol. Bottle and
Bond. Yeah, it's Bottle and Bond. It's Willett.
It's called Old Bardstown. In Old Bardstown,
it was a horse. Way back in the day. I think
ran the Derby probably. Oh, yeah. There's a picture
of a horse right there on the bottle. That's
the name of the horse. Also the name of the town
that's out there is Bardstown. So this is by
Willett, who also makes one of our favorite bottles,
Noah's Mill. Yes. It's all pot still. It was
a very small operation, actually, when we went
out there. Great guy that gave us a tour, but
we got to taste all of their product. We tasted
this, and we found out that it was just distillery
-owned. 50, 60 bucks, so it wasn't real expensive.
I don't even know if it was that much because
Noah's Mill is 55, and that's 118 proof or so.
Right. Yeah, well, 115 to 119, somewhere in there.
So this one was very reasonably priced. How much
was it again? It was probably 50 bucks. Well,
I'll tell you, it tastes great. It's thin, but
it's still, for me, this is going to score high
in the bottle and bond section. This is extremely
desirable. One of the reasons I was excited about
this is because I wanted to see how we compared
it to Noah's Mill. Granted, Noah's Mill has a
little bit more going for it because of the proof,
but flavor -wise, I think it's similar to what
I remember from Noah's Mill. So it says, this
whiskey has been made from a formula and method
developed by generations of Willett distillers,
Kentuckians dedicated to producing the greatest
Kentucky bourbon. Old -time sour mash. Very nice.
All right. So, do we talk about the nose? I think
it smells. To me, this is a very traditional
bourbon, taste -wise. If you like that standard
bourbon flavor, this definitely has it. Yeah.
Nothing overpowering. Above average. Oh, yeah.
This is definitely above average. Yeah. Nothing
overpowering. Nothing. It's just like a smooth,
classic. Classic bourbon nose and finish. Yeah.
I mean, there's nothing offensive or anything
about this. The 100 proof is really what allows
you to dive into this. You can't really get into
it like the Noah's Mill. I mean, Noah's Mill
does its thing, but you can really put your nose
in there and take a big whiff. Hey, Chuck, what
was the mash bill that I saw on the website?
They had it there. Okay, 72 % corn, 13 % rye,
and 15 % barley, which I think is a pretty typical
mash bill. It's well -balanced. Yeah. That seems
like it's high barley to me. You think? But I
don't really pay attention to the barley percentage.
It's more the corn and the rye or the wheat.
No, that's good. It's very solid. Let's compare
that to... Maker's Mark. Maker's Mark is 71 %
corn, and it basically is almost the same. Actually,
Maker's Mark is a weeded. It's a weeded. Yeah,
weeded. But it's still, the ratio is the same.
So it says on the website here that the nose
is unimposing nutmeg, clove, vanilla, and dehydrated
orange with hints of cinnamon sugar. Citrus comes
out more over time, complemented by... I can't
read that word. Sassafras. Sassafras. Sassafras.
Sassafras. Creamed corn. And creamed corn and
mint. Yeah, that picture of creamed corn is not
really attractive. I suck at nose anyway, but
I don't get a lot of that. But I do. I do. You
guys are all like, oh, I get this. I get that.
And I'm like, I get caramel. That's pretty much
what I say every time. I get candy cotton. Yeah.
I get wood. What do you get? Candy cotton? I
just made that up. I don't know. Anyway, as far
as 100 proof bottle and bond, I'm going to give
this one probably a 7 .5 for me. Wow, that's
pretty high. I like the Willett stuff. I'm going
to give it a 7 .8. Yeah. For being a bottle and
bond, 7 .8. Yeah, it's strong. All day long.
In fact, you know what, Chuck, Mr. Producer,
I'm going to give it a 7 .9 for being a bottle
and bond. You're not going to find a bottle and
bond, in my opinion, as tasty as this. This is
going to rank high in a bottle and bond category.
This is good. Yeah, this is good. I'm trying
not to be influenced by your high ratings. Well,
don't. You know, be honest about it, you know.
And keep in mind what it is. You know, don't
compare this to some of the other high proof
stuff that we get. True. True. That's a good
point. That's a good point. And that's what you
were saying with the 100 proof. Yeah. I'm going
to go with 7 .258. Wow. Very specific. 7 .258?
No, 7 .258. Round that up at 7 .3. 7 and 3 sixteenths.
Yes. 3 sixteenths, huh? What are you, a measuring
stick? He is. Yes. He's a nauseating mathematician.
Damn, I just took another pull off this. It tastes
good. I'm getting like stone fruit cherries.
Oh, yeah. Like the maraschini. Maraschini. How
do you say that? Maraschino. Yeah, those. Maraschino.
Maraschino. Maraschino, yes. Maraschino. Something
like that. Well, it's interesting that you got
to get more out of it because you had another
pour. Might as well just, you know, infinity
bottle. Yeah, mazel. We didn't really get that
opportunity like you did, Sean. So, yeah. Well,
you know. Well, you got to save yourself. The
next one's got balls on it, so. Oh, you got to
be careful. Challenge accepted. Okay. How much
time do we have? Can we hit another topic or
do we round it out? Tell you what, we could talk
about Chuck's birthday party. Yeah. We have three
minutes. Chuck had a birthday party. All right.
Well, the music. So, yeah, we had to get together
at our, well, first of all, Chuck approaches
someone. I don't know who the hell approached
us, but, you know. I don't even know. Let's have
a party at Sean's house, you know, because we've
got the karaoke and stuff. Tara, as usual, goes
all out. It's a luau. She is the hostess of the
mostess. So, she dropped. Whatever. She got a
bunch of decorations. So now we got a bunch of
Luau shit. So now I got to go to Walmart. Does
she have coconut broth? Yep. Yeah, she does.
Nice. So she got a couple of those. And seashell.
And coconut broth. And seashell. And little seashells
and coconuts. So we're going to get a couple
of tubs and put them in there. So now we have
some decorations for Luau. So if you guys need
Luau, let us know. We've got some extra stuff.
Was it just covering the tips? No, they were
big old moon pie things. They covered the whole
thing. Okay, good. Yeah, Kim, she was on the
fence. She was going to go in the bathroom and
try it. She comes back out. She says, yeah. No,
I'm not going to do that. Stuff into the coconut?
I was like, those aren't coconuts. Those are
chocolate discs. And it really just wasn't that
kind of party. You know what I mean? Yeah. I
mean, they had a lot of lube out. Why'd you have
the lube out? It was a freak off. It was a freak
off. Chuck's off. It was a chuck off. It was
a chuck off. All the Luau pineapples were in
the upright position, all right? We had karaoke.
We had a lot of fun, though. It was a lot of
fun. Chuck and I, we were up until what? 1 .30,
2 o 'clock in the morning? 1 .30. I went up at
1 .30. Yeah, Chuck goes, I think I left at 1
.30. I was like, wow, it's good when you don't
exactly know when you leave. Well, I think it's
good that we remembered. Yeah, that's what I
mean. You know what was a treat, though? some
of your friends yeah that was JT who came over
yeah we met like a number of new people oh there
was who's the Asian guy the surveyor JT JT, he
was kind of... Shout out JT. It took a while
to warm up to him a little bit. He didn't want
to do a whole lot, and he just kind of reserved
a little bit. I was like, hey, try this, try
that, try that. Yeah, but you were in his personal
space. Oh, dude, totally. And then right in his
face. My pants were off, spitting on him. Were
you humping him and everything? You're going
to like it here. You're going to be one of us.
I ran upstairs to my bedroom, got my Diddy shirt
on. Just grinding on his side. That would make
a lot of people uncomfortable. After everyone
started leaving, It was basically Chuck, JT,
and myself. We were doing karaoke. And Tara and
Kim. Yeah. And the women. They were... All of
a sudden... He chimes in. He jumped up there
and did it. I was surprised. Jordan got up there
and did some, too. My buddy Jordan. Shout out,
Jordan. Yeah, I met Jordan. He was a cool guy.
Beth and Walter, old neighbors, I came over.
It was really cool. It was really cool meeting
your slice of friends. It was nice meeting Walter.
He's a big, tall dude, man. I was like, God damn.
What about the food? Did you have pineapple chicken?
I'll tell you what. Emily made a smorgasbord,
so she marinated the chicken, and she did a fantastic
job. She did two or three dozen wings. How'd
the green egg work out? Excellent. Here's the
thing. I hadn't cleaned it out in quite some
time, so I dumped a whole bag of charcoal in
there. On top of the soot and ash? It seemed
like it was pretty high. I loaded it up and then
I realized I opened up the lower part where you're
supposed to clean it out. I was like, holy shit,
this thing's full. And so I started dumping it
out, dumping it out. All of a sudden, the charcoal
all disappeared. I was like, holy shit, I didn't
have that much in the bag. So now I'm rushed.
So now I'm like, fuck, I got to process. I had
a lot of chicken. So I ended up burning it on
purpose, scorching it really good and getting
a nice good, put the oven on 400, 450. And scorched
it, gave it a nice. Finished it in the oven.
Firmed it up, threw it in the oven. Oh, my God.
Outstanding. Lots of compliments on it. It was
covered with debris. I was picking shit in my
teeth for about 72 hours. Whatever. But Charlie
was like, no, there's some still in your teeth.
Emily's, whatever they call it. The marinade
was excellent. It was actually really, really
good. It was excellent. Got a lot of compliments
on what she did. Good. It was a fun party. You
should have done a whole pig. You know, I consider
digging a hole and putting a pig in there if
I just knew more about how to do that. That would
be awesome if we could pull that off. We've got
to do that just once. All right, I'm in. You
could buy those down at Costco. No, we need to
start. Start to finish. Buy the pig. Kill the
pig. Oh. Do you want to raise it first? Yeah,
let's raise it. Let's raise it for six months.
Then give it a name and dote on it. And then
kill it. Slice his throat right in front of the
women. All right. If you're interested in this

you, Mr. Chuck, producer. Shout out to the old
Bardstown for the bottle of Bond. Fantastic.
Scored really high. I'm Sean. I'm Paul. And I'm
