Wow. Wow. He's trying to turn it down. That's
horrible. Wow. So you're like that guy in church
that just doesn't turn off his phone. That was
like Jim from Horse Snack, you know? Yeah. That's
right. We got our thing this Friday, don't we?
Yeah, we do. The Horse Snack Exchange. Yeah,
I saw the email. They only had eight tickets
left. Good. That's good. I think they had a total
of ten, but I don't know. Oh, can't be true.
I don't know. Well, that can't be true because
we have four. Yeah, well, we have four. Jackie
Mack bought one. Larry Hokai bought one. Oh,
he's going to be there? Good. Yeah. Scott Cash
may go, depending on how he feels. I don't think
he will, though. I mean, I hope he does. How
many people are they? I don't know. 30, 40? I
have no idea. I don't think they said. I was
thinking it would be, yeah, like 30, 40. Well,
it says a small, intimate group. You know, intimate.
Well, you know. I don't know what that means,
but I forget the actual verbiage that they use,
but it's a small group. They're going to do a
Secret Santa -style bottle exchange. You've got
to buy your ticket for $40, and you've got to
bring a signature bourbon exchange arrive with
a wrapped bottle valued at $50 or more or a coveted
allocated release. I think all of us found some
nice ones that we're bringing. Yeah, I think
so. I think we drank ours Saturday night. Right?
Damn it. So have we told the horse neck guys
that we're coming? We probably should. Give them
a heads up. You can. Just say, hey, we're looking
forward to seeing you Friday. All right. I'll
make a note to send an email. Yeah, they should
do that. That'd be good. That way they are expecting
us. What time does that thing start on Friday?
7 p .m. 7 p .m. They're going to have meats?
They're going to have meats? And they say it
the right way, too. Where does it say that? It's
actually in Frisco, too. We're calling this a
bonafide feast. Lots of meats personally smoked
by horse neck founders. Special goodies, gadgets,
and fun prizes will be given throughout the night.
I'm looking forward to it. I am too. Gadgets.
I wonder what gadgets. Maybe it's... Little spinners.
Go -go gadget chopper. Shot glasses. Little stress
balls. Yeah, little squeezy stretch balls. I
was a lot about stretch them. What is that little
stretch them thing from the 80s? Oh, stretch
Armstrong. Yeah, stretch Armstrong. Put one of
those things out. Dude, are those coming back?
I don't know. Oh, I don't know. Are they? Is
that too big to qualify as a gadget though? Probably.
It's not even a gadget either. Yeah, you can't
fit it in your back pocket. It's a toy. But are
they doing this? Horseneck is probably doing
this to kind of promote. Horseneck. Yeah, to
promote their brand. They have two other sponsors.
Mr. Producer, if you roll that up. One's a financial
advisor. Yeah, Ebby Halliday Realtor. And the
Town Square Financial, the Jeff Janosh. Okay,
that's smart. And Lorena Locke with Ebby Halliday
Realtor. That's a good way to get your name out
there. Yeah. And they'll probably be soliciting
for some businesses and stuff like that. Of course.
They'll have a little presentation. Probably.
You know, that kind of thing. Well, it's June
24th, 2025, the day after my mama's birthday.
Happy birthday, mama, yesterday. Cool. What's
the age on that? I don't know. 79. That sounds
confident. Yeah. You're just making shit up.
I mean, I had to do some arithmetic. She's between
7 and 90. Yeah. No, I think she's 79. 79. Yeah.
All right. Well, good. Very good. Just a click
away from 80. God bless. Yeah, my boy's been
over at my parents' house. Anyways, check us
out on Facebook and Instagram, dudeslikeus -podcast,
dudeslikeus -woodcraft, if you want to find out
some little gadgets. We've got some cool stuff.
Jeff is mastering. Dude, you're in the garage
messing around with the projects going on right
now. Really? Yeah, we're going to have to revisit
that to see if it's something we want to continue
with. You mean this just endeavor? No, the leaves.
Well, that's what I meant. Yeah, we're going
to have to revisit because I don't want to keep
breaking shit. How many leaves did you get done
before it broke? This last one? Correct. Maybe
nine. God bless it. Hold on, what are we talking
about here? Mr. Producer, thank you for pulling
up stuff while we're talking. Dude's like us.
I'm Sean. We already did that. Did we really?
No. I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff. What the hell, man?
I don't know. What's going on over there? I thought
we did it. No, don't take away my bourbon yet.
Did you already have a couple drinks before you
got here? I did not. He was getting to it. Did
you have any horse necks? I could have sworn
we did that already. I think he was about to,
and then he got distracted. Yeah, because he's
like, I'm shh. Yeah. Well, you know what? This
drink that we got for the first time, it's extremely
crushable. Crushable. It's basically just chug
it. That's good stuff. It doesn't mean we have
to. Oh, gosh, that's really good, though. I'm
looking forward to the Friday night event. Yeah,
with ADD all over the fucking place. I just thought
about the... We got to continue. I want to find
out. You said something about the website said
to go at a certain speed for the drool bits going
through the metal. And it said to go slower or
faster. Well, if you go slower, it takes longer.
Therefore, it's going to create more heat, right?
If you make multiple passes, it creates more
heat. What's the context, gentlemen? What are
you trying to make? So we're cutting through
metal, and we're cutting through metal on the
CNC machine downstairs. No, not with a laser,
obviously. No, not with a laser. That would be
cool. My experience cutting metal is that if
you have wood, you've got high speed. But with
metal, I go slower with metal. And I usually
use oil. But we don't have oil. Well, do some
Vaseline. Baby oil. You got some salve. You want
to put on there? P. Diddy oil. Got plenty of
that. Get some olive oil. Any kind of oil. A
little avocado. But what's the design? What are
you doing this for? Leaves. So the Church of
Nazareth, the Holy Family Church of Nazareth
in Irving, Texas. I tasked my father -in -law
with creating some art for the church where they
have this oak tree that they're making. And these
are the leaves that are going on the tree. And
Jeff has struggled trying to keep these bits
from breaking. I have one bit left. Yeah. So
you broke all four? All three? I have one bit
left. So two. Oh, he only had three? Yeah. Jesus.
And I don't want to break it. Because I know
they're expensive. Wow, that's tough. You know
what? We'll talk about this off the air. I've
tried multiple things. We'll bring up with Oscar.
Let him weigh in on it. Yeah. I mean, like I
said, I don't want to ruin his stuff, and I don't
want to keep burning through bits. Yeah, no kidding.
Because that's expensive. It is. He's paying
for it. If he wants to do nine leaves at a time.
Then buy a 50 -pack of bits. How many leaves
do we got? He needs to do 400. Oh, my God. That's
not plausible. Plus the tree. And the tree is
bigger than our cutting area. Who signed on for
this deal? I don't know. You might have oversold
it there, Sean. No, I didn't oversell it. No,
I think there was an unknown, right? We've never
cut metal before. Yeah, you've got to try it.
And we've tried it. There's something we're missing.
People do it all the time. People have CNC machines.
People have bits. They cut through metal. So
there's got to be a solution. I don't know what
that is. They may be using the wrong bits. I
don't know. I don't know either. I don't know.
Don't know. So maybe those folks out there that
listen to our podcast, they're kind of like,
what the fuck are these guys talking about? This
is easy. We have a CNC machine. It's by one,
well, something finity. One finity. One finity.
I don't think that matters. I think it's the
bit itself. Yeah, but what matters is that we
bought the machine to have fun. Yeah. And we're
making all these little projects and we have
overextended ourselves with this particular one
because we're kind of put ourselves out there.
I'm Paul. Oh, you're back. Yes. Hey, guys. How's
it going? We've already done that. We've already
done that. So Saturday night, we want to talk
about Saturday? Oh, yeah. That was exciting.
Speaking of Safety Dome. Interesting night on
Saturday. Started out mellow, just Paul and I
and Chuck. Well, hold on. Mellowing out by the
pool. I woke up in the morning and I started
doing my garage first thing. It looks fantastic.
Thank you guys for asking. I've had wall -to
-wall shelves. You know? Yeah, but you were like,
yeah, we're putting on this pool party. You guys
going to come? Are you guys going to come? I
didn't see that. Jeff and I are like, okay, are
you going to go? I'll go if you go. Okay, yeah,
we'll go. I mean, it's going to be fun. All four
of us will be hanging out together. We haven't
done this before. Let's do it. So we went over
there, and we sat there with Chuck, and we sat
there with Chuck. By the way, Sean, you want
us to swing by and get you? With our non -existent
car? I mean, I wasn't the one that told you to
walk. Wow. Well, we didn't. Shelly dropped us
off. He's totally missing the point. Whoa, whoa,
whoa. And he lives a block away. Hold on a second.
What did you just say? Shelly dropped us off.
Dropped us off? Yeah. So where were you? I was
at my house. Oh, boy. All right, so you went
over to Paul, or you went over to Jeff's house.
You said you were going to be at the pool party,
and so we thought you and Chuck were already
there. You could have just stopped after I thought.
Of course you would have been helping him, grilling
and setting up. None of that happened, did it,
Chuck? No, he said, hey, come on over for a beer
and chill out. I'm like, I got shit to do. I'm
running this shit. I got time to chill with you
and work on your project. Hey, look, I get it,
but at the same time... I've been there, done
that with the HOA. You have. You have paid your
dues. Chuck has earned, he's earning his wings
right now. Oh, I've earned wings. Yeah. I've
got every fucking wing that Major League can
produce. I've earned wings. Well, all right.
So I'm doing my thing. You show up over there.
I'm getting, dude, I do not want to go. I do
not want to go. Yeah, you fought it. I'm kind
of like, and you guys were like just digging
in, giving me shit. So I'm like, fuck. I jump
in the shower and my God, I was in the heat all
day. My nuts. Were they inflamed? Oh, they were.
It was rough. Disgusting. You know, so, dude,
you know, a little chafing. I don't get it. You
know, I get out of the shower. Was there any
bleeding? Was it bleeding? I didn't actually
look. I didn't look. Yeah. God. Well, I did leave
some blood marks on the mid -thigh, so. That's
great. No, that didn't happen. Yeah, that's horrible.
So, anyways, I get out of the shower, and I'm
kind of like, yeah, you know what? I'm going
to use some of this body. deodorant that I've
got. I've got some for the arms and then I bought
this one. It says, hey, you can apply this to
anywhere. Your arms, your legs, your nutsack,
or privates. I think it says privates. So I was
kind of like, yeah, this is kind of interesting.
Maybe this could be some sort of Medicaid stuff
or medical. Put it on there. Kind of like an
ointment. Yeah, like a little salve. Make it
feel better. They're called gold -bombed. Oh,
jeez. Dude, that was the wrong thing to do. I
felt like Eddie Murphy in Delirious when he was
washing it. He had put cologne on his junk. Oh,
yeah, that'll do it, too. Oh, yeah. Do you have
a burning sensation? No, I can fire shoot out
my dick. Now, this, man. It went from just kind
of sore to like radiating heat. It was a supernova
down there. I love the smell of napalm in the
morning. Oh, I just missed. Did you just run
around the house with your balls hanging out?
Honey, help me. Make it stop. I was on a mission.
At this point, I was kind of like, all right,
I got to get some clothes on. I need to get down
there. And I start humping it down there. Oh,
and my legs are walking the whole time. Someone's
walking behind me. They're like, what is going
on with that guy? So I finally get down to the
pool, and I'm like, there's no beer? What the
hell? You guys didn't bring any beer? Yes, we
did. We offered it to you, and you drank it.
We were down there for like three hours. Oh,
come on. We actually were. At least. Were you
really? Yeah. It was a while. We got down there.
Look back at your text and look every five minutes
from when we started giving you shit to when
you got there. It was an hour. It was three hours
of giving you shit. It was about an hour. No,
we were there longer than that. Because we waited
a while. An hour and five minutes. We were waiting
a while before we started texting you or Paul
started texting you. We were like, we're shot.
Yeah. Eh, whatever. It was fun. We're down at
the pool. You guys are drinking. I get Chuck's
car. I head back to my house. I pick a couple
more beers, and now I'm on a mission. I'm like,
all right, well, now I've scratched the surface
on this. Alcohol's flowing because Chuck had
his, what is it, JTS? Justin Timberlake, Sexy
Bag. So the whiskey, and I poured a nice big
ramekin of that, threw it back, and then all
of a sudden the gears were like, ching, ching.
Jing, jing. The locomotion, the locomotive was
starting to go. Oh, yeah. I don't know how we
got the beer. It came back. And, you know, the
party kind of sizzled out. And then we went over
to party two, post -party. Yeah, one of the neighbors
said, hey, we're hanging out over at our house.
Yeah, after party. Come on over. But now, then
the excitement starts because all these cops
start running all over the neighborhood. Well,
I'll tell you what. That was the thing. When
we were sitting there, if you remember, I said,
those sound like gunshots. Oh, I never even heard
that. Oh, I did. I heard them. And I was like,
those sound like gunshots. It was either Sean
or Chuck said, no, it's probably just fireworks.
But there were only four. Damn. And they were
spaced where you're pulling the trigger. And
nothing else. And what, 20 minutes, half hour
later, if that long, all hell broke loose in
the neighborhood. There were cops running up
and down the streets with the brights on. Oh,
they had every single light on. Lights were flashing.
And I think they were slowing down looking at
us. Well, they were looking at everybody. Yeah,
they were searching for whoever the shooter was.
And I don't know, but it went on. They got the
helicopters out. Oh, yeah. What, are you shooting
at people? Do your helicopter, Paul. It's even
better that you're sick. Yeah, but it was real.
I mean, that started happening. But I tell you,
I was at the pool, and I saw the cops going around,
and everything started clicking. You know, oh,
my God, those were gunshots. Oh, my God, those
police are looking for somebody. And this shit
was close by, and so I just beeline at home.
And let's not forget, our phones are blowing
up because Trump has just struck the nuclear
sites in Iran. Right. Everything was happening
at the same time. The cops were going nuts. The
Iran thing was happening. We're all excited,
and we're all like, what's going on? Yeah. I'll
tell you what, those cop cars, the big Tahos,
they had, like I said, 8 ,000 lights on, plus
all their floodlights on. and they'd slow down
to look at us sitting there, or we're standing
by the pool at that point, and then he would
gun it. And that engine on those things growls.
It's a Hemi. And he's just, I don't know how
fast he was going down. What is that, Rocky Ridge
right there? What's that road by the pool? Rocky,
Creekwood. Creekwood. Creekwood and Creekmere.
Yeah, he went flying down there, and then he
turned, and you could hear him. Just squeal.
Flooring it, yes. Yeah, he must have gotten something
on the radio saying, I need you down here. I
think I see him or something like that because
he hauled ass out of there. Yeah, he did it a
couple times. Yeah, they were around everywhere.
It freaked me out. They took a long look at Sean.
They did. He had his hand down his pants. The
way he was walking. Yeah, he was like, ow, ow.
He's always got something. He's got something
hanging down there. Yeah, I don't know what that
is. Weird. Just weird. Walking really weird.
Yeah. It was scary because it happened right
in our neighborhood. I thought it was maybe some
cell or something. You thought it was an Iranian
sleeper cell. That was crazy. Then I arrive at
your house and everybody's running around with
their hair on fire. He was putting sandbags in
the front windows. I was like, what's going on
here? Pulling out my arsenal. Did you say you
ordered a flak jacket? Yeah, I've got a flak
jacket. Oh, my God. You're kidding. No, my brother,
he got... A buy one, get one free deal was normally
$599 for one, so we bought $599, so we split
it. Nice. Yeah, so buy one, get one free. That
night you ordered it? No, it was a couple nights
ago. He's got it already. I just have to go pick
it up. I need to go install his water heater.
He's got an electric water heater. So you're
going to wear that to the next pool party? Strange
enough, my neighbor Sunday, he was mowing his
yard with a flak jacket on. Are you serious?
Yeah. Wow, people are really living in fear at
the moment, huh? I didn't get that. I was kind
of like, that's interesting. So are those the
people right there? No, I don't think so. Tarantula
heads? So we don't know the details behind the
shooting, do we? No, we don't know anything.
We know nothing. They also had canine units out
there. Yeah, Frisco does a very poor job circulating
news. When that young person passed away in the
park, Commons Park. out there. It took forever
to find out that information. I haven't even
heard about this either. There was someone that
was a suicide, I think. But it doesn't matter.
It's just we couldn't find out anything. They're
very tight -lipped on this stuff. I don't know
if they're trying to suppress it to keep bad
publicity. Also over the weekend, there was a
dead person found in the Hickory apartments.
Over by the Walmart? Over by the Walmart, yeah.
I guess a dead guy. That was two days prior to
Saturday. That was Thursday night? I don't know.
I just saw the headline the other day. What the
hell, man? Because I was probably searching for
something on this, and it says, dead person found
in the Hickory Apartments. Remember, that's the
Walmart where there was a drug deal that went
bad and somebody got shot in the parking lot.
Yeah. What the hell, man? What's going on with
Frisco? There's 300 ,000 people live here. Oh.
We're a big city now. We're a big city now. As
soon as you go over the 299 mark, that's when
it's like, bing, the crime sign turns on. Yep.
It's being too close to the colony. Yeah, the
Frisco department does get an officer -involved
shooting in which an officer shot an armed subject
Wednesday, June 18th. In Frisco? In Frisco. Wow.
Yeah, it's not the 20 ,000 -people town that
we moved into. It really isn't. No, it's not.
And frankly, it's a little frustrating. I mean,
I traveled today for my job. And I went east
of Dallas -Fort Worth. So I didn't go north.
I'm sorry. I didn't go north. Heading east, I
went direct east. So I didn't take 380. I didn't
take 20 or 30. I just kind of zigzagged to go
direct east. Like out through Lucas Murphy area?
Oh, yeah. It's like all out in the middle of
the country. Right. And it was so cool. And I'm
telling you, I'm sick of being out here. I am
too. Every time I go out in the country, I'm
just like, oh, I would love to be out there.
That's the way I was up in Wyoming. I was like,
this is fantastic. Yes. There's no traffic. People
mind their own shit. Okay, so let's think about
this. So suppose you're 45 minutes to an hour
and a half out of town. I mean, and then you
need to go get some bread or some milk or some
eggs. I don't know if I'd want to be that far.
Yeah, yeah. How bad would that be, right? I don't
know. How far do those Walmart little drones
go? Yeah, well, I know not the concern, but what
I'm thinking about at this point are, because
of the fucking age, or is there a hospital nearby?
Yeah. Yeah, grocery stores and shit like that.
You're going to have the Dollar Generals or the
little town, whatever. And once you get to know
those guys, you can do special orders. Yeah,
you'll probably be able to order stuff. Hey,
Bob, order a couple extra francs for me this
week. Plus, you can order food off of Amazon.
I don't know how cost effective that is. But,
you know, it's the hospital as you get older
that's actually more important than anything
else. Paul had to step away. Are you doing all
right? Yeah, you know, whenever you get the call
from the spouse during podcast, you've got to
make sure it's something. Everything's copacetic.
Everything's copacetic. And it's one of those
things where, hey, there's a code sent to your
phone. I need that code. Yes. But what are you
going to do? The damn code expires like within
three minutes, right? So you got to get it right
now. So what we were talking about is living
in the rural, rural area. Yes. It sounds glamorous,
but how inconvenient is it? Has anybody ever
done that? No. Like lived outside of a suburb?
My dad did. Yeah. And I'd go visit him and shit
like that. But did you spend years? Not years
there. No. But I would live there 100%. I would
live up there in Wyoming 100%. Laramie was a
half hour away. See, that wouldn't be bad at
all. It takes you a fucking half hour to go to
Target and shit here. No shit. Three miles away.
Right. Right here, you're doing 75 down a highway
for half an hour. Right. You know? I mean, and
when we go up to my parents' cabin, it's 45 minutes
away from Fair Play, and we might go. You just
plan. We might go every day. Like, oh, we need
more water. We need this. Oh, okay. It's an hour
and a half. You're in back. You just adapt to
it. And you just do it. Yeah, you just adapt
to it. It's no big thing. And that's kind of
where, you know, when I went out to my dad's,
now it's built up some out there. But when he
first moved out to the first 10 years or so,
there was nothing. Right. And, you know, he'd
have to drive half hour or so to get to, you
know, Home Depot and whatever. Yeah. Kind of
up there closer to Carson City. But he had a
grocery store. It was a small one. Kind of like,
what is that, Dollar General? It was Rally's.
Oh, okay. Which is a form, I think it was Rally's,
is a form of, it's a Kroger -owned store. Sure.
But it's old, it's small, and, you know, it's
what it is. Like you said, it's a trade -off.
You have total peace and quiet and unbelievable
quiet. I would trade off. Oh, I would too. Yeah,
but how would we do the podcast? Zoom? We could
do it over Webex. We're going to have to buy
some property together. A little weird. I mean,
I'm just saying start a little colony. Yeah.
Well, I mean, look, we can have like a big circle,
just a big pie. We just meet in the center. Well,
I don't think this is going to happen anytime
soon, at least for me. I'm not ready to do it.
I'm ready mentally. Right. It's just time -wise,
it's not going to happen. Yeah. Yeah, I hear
you. But we're all thinking it. I'm ready to
pull the trigger now, but again, financially
and because I want my house paid off. I want
Julie to be done working. the whole nine yards,
and then that's going to happen at the same time.
And when that happens, sell this place, pay cash
for wherever we live next. Right. Kind of a thing.
That'd be the idea. Yeah, because I don't want
to mortgage rate, especially at today's mortgage
rates. Who knows what it's going to be then?
Yeah, because you're kind of captive at that
point. I mean, there are some people that had
the plan that you're talking about. They wanted
to sell in the next six months, and then freaking
mortgage rates went to what? Eight? Yeah. And
they're like, shit, we're going to have to wait
until it comes back down to four or down to five.
Well, hell, maybe we'll just wait until it's
six. Right. I mean, that's where we are now.
Yeah. And it's still kind of struggling. Yeah,
it's coming down, but it's not fast enough. So
can we talk about Powell for a second? Colonel
Powell? Yes. General Powell? General Powell.
No, the guy that does the interest rate guy.
Jay Powell. Jay Powell. Yes. Okay. He is the
what? Fed chairman. Fed chairman. Okay. And he
is refusing, he and his team, I'm sure, it's
not just a one guy. There are Fed officers all
across the country. Right. And so they agree
together to not lower interest rates. Correct.
Okay. And the interest rates staying up, is that
the prime interest rate? Is that what they're
talking about when they talk about prime? Because
they say credit cards are prime plus. Is mortgage
rates prime plus? I mean, what interest rates
are affected by them not lowering it? Like across
the board? Like mortgages, car loans, shit like
that. Is it that or is it what business loans?
They're all linked to this overnight rate. They
are? Yeah. And the 10 -year especially is linked
to your mortgage rates. But if the Fed lowers
rates, they generally go in lockstep. Okay. And
it really comes down to the ability to unlock
capital for people, whether it's personal, business.
you know, big corporations that want to like
invest, you know what I mean? It's, they now
have access to capital that they are not accessing
because of the interest rates are too high. Right.
And so they now are going to, okay, we're going
to build that factory or we're going to, right.
We're going to lock in that, that, you know,
big loan for whatever, like, or I said, or residential
too, right? Sure. So, so why is he not raised
lowing it? Cause Trump's beating the shit out
of it. So I've punched up something here. Let
me read these real quick here. Jerome, Powell,
as chair of the Federal Reserve, has faced pressure
regarding interest rates, specifically from former
president or from President Donald. Wow. It says
former President Donald Trump. This is from June
2025. He has criticized the Fed's decision not
to lower them further. Trump has referred to
Powell as a numbskull and as a dumb guy and called
for the benchmark rate to be cut significantly,
claiming it would save the U .S. government money
on debt interest. However, Powell and the Federal
Reserve maintain the current interest rate, which
is a range of four and a quarter to four and
a half as of June 2025, where it has been since
2023. July of 2023. They cited that they... Damn,
two years. The need to see what happens with
inflation remains above their 2 % target before
making any changes. Some economists, including
those at the Fed, expect potential upward pressure
on inflation due to tariffs. And that's probably
what it is, their expectation of the tariffs.
Yeah, it's the tariffs. They just don't know
what the tariffs are going to do. They want to
assess before deciding any of these rate cuts.
That's basically what it is. They want to find
out what is going to happen. So is this Jerome
dude some sort of dem that's kind of... No, I
think he needs to be an independent, and he's
doing what he thinks right. Well, yeah, that's
his job. That's his job. He's the expert at it.
And I'm hoping, and I cannot imagine, but I've
been talking to some friends, and they're hardcore
conservatives, and they think he's deliberately
trying to torpedo Trump's economy. I'm like,
that can't be, right? I don't know. It can't
be a partisan decision. It could be, but I don't
think it is, right? And these tariffs are very
unpredictable. We've never done these terrible
before. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, I mean,
was up 374 today. Right. I've been making sure.
Yeah, that's just because of the ceasefire. Yes.
Yeah, but still. Well, it's the price of oil
as well. The oil has actually gone down. Yes,
they were predicting that oil was going to skyrocket
with the threat of the Strait of Hormuz being
closed, and none of that happened. And then on
top of that, he announced the ceasefire, and
he's being all crazy about it in his posts. God
bless America. God bless Iran. Thank you for
paying attention to this message. Yeah, he was
like so over the top. It's so funny. But anyway,
yeah, so that's why the market's going nuts right
now, because they were anticipating it crumbling.
So anyway, I don't know. So what he has to do,
what Paul has to do, is control the inflation.
And it's not controlled yet. And if you lower
rates, there's a good chance that the economy
does kickstart. and inflation goes back to higher,
and then he's got to ratchet the rates right
back up to slow the economy down. He needs some
months for a trending, for trending and the tariffs.
Yes, I get it. And Trump's being impatient. Oh,
yeah, of course. So is he doing it intentionally?
It kind of depends on your point of view, but
he is doing what he feels is his job, right?
It's the conservative thing to do. True. Meaning
not left and right conservative, but he's being
cautious. He's being cautious, yes. And that's
his job. So I get it. No big deal for that then.
Better than Janet Yellen. She was previous, right?
She ignored the inflation. Yeah. It's transitory.
Yeah. She let it spiral out of control. She's
the one who says it's just transitory. Oh, great.
Did you guys hear that Cameltoe Harris is going
to... Perhaps run for governor. Yes, yes, yes.
California. I wonder how the Californians truly
feel about that. Because she's a disaster. Yeah,
but they voted for disasters over and over and
over again. And their legislation. Yeah, they
voted for Gavin Newsom. Who was the guy? Brown?
Was that the guy before him? Yeah, Jerry Brown.
And then Arnold. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yes.
Did you guys ever see him when he was on the
stage talking about those phrases? Stick around.
I'll be back. Yeah, he was talking about the
impact of his one -liners. You know, like they
were interviewing him. It's his accent that does
it. It's his accent that sells it. Oh, of course,
of course. But it was just funny. Hasta la vista,
baby. Yeah, everybody was laughing, and he was
just talking about where those came from. And
some of them were... Totally ad lib. You know
what I mean? Get to the chopper! Get to the chopper!
Yeah, I think the stick around one, when he hit
the guy with the knife right through the chest
and pinned him to the wall, stick around. I mean,
I don't know how much of that's true, but he
claims that some of this stuff was just kind
of on the fly. He had some good flicks back in
the day. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they were fun. Did you
see him on The View the other day when they were
trying to corner him since he's an immigrant?
and they wanted him to bash that he wants to
support all these illegals, and he didn't. He
did not. He's basically, it's hard. You need
to do it the right way. He's like, I love America.
I love America. Yes, basically. And you're a
guest. Oh, yeah, that's right. He said, you're
a guest in this country. And you need to do it
the right way. He didn't bite on any of that.
And they tried to interrupt him to, but, but,
but. It's not a tumor. It's not a tumor at all.
You shut up. There's no bot here except for you,
horse face. I shoot you all. God damn. Sorry,
I went over the top with that. Yeah, I think
he's a little, I think he feels a little entitled
because I know during the whole COVID thing,
he kind of went off the rails a little bit on
some of the shit he was talking about. Over lockdown,
you mean? Oh, yeah, just like if you don't get
your vaccine, you should not deserve anything.
You should go to hell. He said, fuck your freedom
is what he said. Fuck your freedom. God. You
thought I was bad. Go to hell. Go to California.
Sean lived in Germany. He's allowed. So who are
the gubernatorial candidates for? Oh, there's
a bunch of yahoos. Steve Hilton, Katie Porter.
I've heard of her for some reason. Who's that
guy? I don't know. Just a bunch of yahoos. I
mean, there's got to be somebody on the Republican
side. Yeah, Steve Hilton is running, and I don't
think he has a shot in hell. I mean, he's got
the same shot as Larry Elder when he tried to
do it. It's funny. Well, Larry Elder actually
was a conservative, but it's funny how, for the
most part, any of the Republican candidates are
really just moderate Democrats, right? Because
they know they can't be anywhere near the right.
To have a shot at winning an election. I don't
know, man. Is now a time to try to snatch California?
Make a move. Because L .A. is a disaster. San
Francisco is a disaster. San Diego is getting
there. They all are. I think California is in
such a bad place. But I think what's happened
is I think a lot of the. conservative folks have
moved away from california right so it's become
even more yeah so it's it's even becoming more
concentrated lib and i mean la elected karen
bass and they had a perfectly good uh like actually
liberal developer businessman that they could
have voted for and they voted for her and she's
let's talk about karen bass it wasn't karen bass
part of a group that bombed The White House or
something like that? Or federal buildings? She's
a domestic terrorist? Yeah, there was the Weather
Underground, I believe, is what she's... She's
part of the Weather Underground? Somehow related
to. That can't be true. Hang on, let me get that
Karen Bass. That's inflammatory accusations.
Maybe she was married to somebody that was...
So she played a leadership in the role of California
of African Americans from Obama organizations.
She served on Obama's National African American
Leadership Council. Also served as co -chair,
blah, blah, blah. Took 15 trips to Cuba. To the
Cubes. Cuba. Yeah. That's kind of sketchy. Kind
of problematic. Well, just like Bernie went over
to Russia a bunch of times. Oh, God, yeah. And
old Waltz went to China. Yeah, went to China.
China. Yeah. That's weird that you can't find
it. Karen Bassett says that she was, she was
part of a, like when she was younger, she was
part of a group that did some sort of bombing.
Yeah, there's the Vincenaramos Brigade Controversial
History Resurfaces. I made criticism. Yeah. Vincenaramos.
Yeah. Vincenaramos. Whatever. My point is that
she's bought and paid for. I bet. I bet. It wouldn't
surprise me. She made the Kool -Aid. Wow. Yeah,
that's awful. She's dug in, and she's there as
someone that's just going to be the resistance,
regardless what it is. She's there to play a
role. Directly funded from George Soros. Yeah,
and I don't know. I mean, you know, until we
can break through to the psyche of the people
that just keep drinking this Kool -Aid about
why they think. Democrats and liberals that are
in charge in California are doing better for
them. I don't understand why they can't clearly
see that it's not working. It's the campaigns.
Hell, they're running a campaign in New York
right now. There's some mayor who's a socialist
that is 53 % in the votes right now. He's beating
out Cuomo. So let me take my blinders off. Are
we not hearing some other side of the equation?
of the good that they're doing in California.
I mean, maybe the whole green and the clean air
and whatever they do to tax the shit out of businesses
to drive them out of the state, whatever, maybe
it's actually improving something for the local
citizens. I don't see it. They've got a lot of
money that they're stealing. from the residents
of california and dumping it into these stupid
things like that multi -billion dollar train
system yeah that never got a high speed rail
they do the stupid shit like we're i mean the
the reason why they besides the the ferris ether
of why the la fires happened you know you still
have the reason of why there wasn't water and
why isn't there water down there anyways it's
because they They didn't want to kill a fucking
fish. They have stupid, stupid, I mean, this
is stupid. And I guess I'm just, you know, we're
not going to solve this, but I just don't understand
why they don't see it. Why it hasn't changed
in 30, 40 years? I mean, how long have they been
voting this way? And they're just, although the
last election was apparently a pretty big shift.
In the direction of the right. So maybe they
are starting to break the mold. Some of the things
that have been happening under Newsom's watch,
I think he's, unless people have short memories,
this has killed his presidential run, I think.
His chances, yeah. I think. I mean, there's so
much footage of shit going wrong in California.
Basically, do you want this for the rest of the
country? The unpreparedness, you know, the homelessness,
the drugs. He can't even manage his state. That's
what I mean. He can't manage his state. And him
eating at a steakhouse when everybody else was
locked down for COVID. Yeah. That shit people
get bothered by. And they still remember it,
too. Yeah. Yeah. So I think there's too much.
And him banging his campaign manager's wife.
I mean, that's an ethical thing. Yeah. That's
not generally. Did that just happen? That generally
happened prior to, I think, his governorship.
He was mayor of San Francisco first, I think.
But still, what a piece of doo -doo. He cleaned
the shit out of San Francisco when she came for
a visit from China. So he has the ability to
do it. All for the wrong reasons. Yeah, it's
sad. But in other parts of the country, we're
doing okay. Right? I don't know. Like where?
I think the left coast is a shit show. Did you
say left? Left coast. The west coast. Oh, okay.
If you're looking at a map, the left coast. It's
also lefty. I usually look from the north. So
I'm down from Canada. All your maps are facing
south. Contrarian. Yeah, you are. That is totally
nailed it right there. Right. So I think there's
this shit. There's shit holes across the nation.
And a lot of them, I'm not saying every single
one of them, are the blue cities. You know, Denver
is a shit show. Yeah. You know. Houston is a
shit show. Chicago. St. Louis. All the metropolitan
areas. And they're all blue run cities. It's
because they need the government. They need the
handouts. Minneapolis. Austin. Shit show. Austin.
Austin. It's another one. Crazy. You got a serial
killer down there apparently. Yes. 38 people
since 2022. That is crazy. Yeah, but you know
what? They say a lot of them are suicides, and
a lot of them are drownings. Hold on, hold on.
They're all around Lady Bird Lake. They're saying
38 people were murdered? No, no. They've died.
Okay, but we're saying there's a serial killer,
and then in the same sense, we're saying 38 murders.
So local people are worried that there is a serial
killer, because so many people are showing up
dead. One out of 38, they have ruled a homicide.
The rest of them are, you know. So 37. Kind of.
Sketchy circumstances, right? No reason to kill
themselves and kill themselves. A perfectly good
swimmer drowning. I'm thinking, could it be the
Loch Ness Monster? Or Jason Voorhees? Chippacabras?
Wouldn't that be the Lady Bird Lake? Isn't that
Travis? Because it's not a loch, right? What
is the nudist colony, the nudist lake down there?
Is it Lake Travis? A hippie hollow, yeah. Hippie
hollow? Is that right? In Scotland, they call
the little lakes locks. And it's Loch Ness. Is
that because of their accent? I'm going down
to the loch. To the loch. Bar bag. Ay -yi -wee,
bar bag. A scrotum means you are a scrotum. You
want to go floating on the loch today? That was
more Australian, wasn't it? You do Scottish very
well. Say somebody saying lake, but loch. Loach.
Oh, God. Okay. Okay. Cut his mic. Cut his mic.
It's not going well. Oh, God. It was very aggressive.
We're going to the lake. No. We'll take the ball.
We're going to head it to the lake. We're going
to the Loch Ness. Okay. Anyway. So bad. In the
Scottish Gaelic, the word for lake or sea inlet
is commonly used for the loch. The loch. All
right. So it's Loch Lady Bird. Lock Lady Bird
Monster. Lock Lady Bird. Monster, yes. Make sure
you add monster. Lady Bird. That is such a beautiful
country. You had a map of Scotland. Was that
Scotland? Yes, it was. God, it's just so beautiful.
I think I'm putting that at the top of the list
if I'm going to do some European travel. Yeah,
I'd have to bring my pocket pan flute because
it just goes well. Did they use pan flutes in
Scotland? I'm sure they did, yeah. Where's Zamfir
from? He's from Germany. You need to take your
Zimp Fear and the Bane Flute. Oh, God. Remember
those commercials that he was selling his albums?
He was playing like Barbra Streisand songs and
shit. What? Don't do that again. But what? No,
Chuck, we had a seat. You can't see it all the
way around. No, no, it was awful. We're not sure
what was going on. Isn't that who's the Piper
Guy band? What? Jethro Tull. Jethro Tull. Ian
Anderson, is that his name? I thought his name
was Jethro Tull. No. Pink Floyd. Yes. Anyway,
Scotland looks beautiful. I want to go to Scotland.
Is that where Outlander takes place? Yes, sir.
Scootland? Yes. Yes. And the Highlander. That
can be the only one. Where is Culloden? That
was a big thing, the Battle of Culloden. That
was a real deal, too. That's basically when the
Scottish tribes, they got their asses kicked,
and that was the end of their lifestyle, the
end of their way of life. C -U -L -L -O -D, I
think. Culloden. Culloden, there it is. Yep.
Yeah, that was with the Jacobites. Yes, the Jacobites.
If you guys haven't seen Outlander, it's a pretty
good show. It's a really long one, by the way.
Where is it? It's like seven seasons. It's north
of Loch Ness. Oh, no kidding. Culloden. Well,
that's where the battle was where they got killed.
Oh, yeah. They all died. They did. And it was
a bad move. It was not a militarily smart decision.
No, it was not. They got surrounded, didn't they?
We fucked up. They did. The wrong way. There's
way more than we thought. Did you see that dude?
Look at Hans. He's huge. Yeah, time out. Anyway.
Wow. How'd we get on? Yeah, I'd like to go to
Scotland. Yeah, it's beautiful. That whole region.
I'd love to go out there and just look at all
the old ornate rock formations out there. Like
Stonehenge. That's the place where you need to
take your metal detector, man. People are finding
bushels of coins in farmlands. I'm sure they've
been all over there. But you know what? There's
always a chance. Didn't they just find an old
shoe? A shoe? Was it a golden shoe? No, it was
a... A shoe filled with coins? I saw a picture
that says he was holding what looked like the
sole of a shoe. Was it from a shipwreck? I don't
remember, but it was black. But it was something
significant. Oh, yeah. It was really, really
old. Super old. Yeah, they were surprised. Like
5 ,000 years old? Like caveman type old. Yeah.
They were at Birkenstocks. And they're like,
wow, they had Birkenstocks back then? That's
the oldest shoe company known to man. Yeah, I
don't know. Yeah, I did see that. Yeah, he was
holding it. I was like, what is that? It was
solid black. Archaeologists recently found a
remarkably preserved ancient Roman shoe sole
among other ancient shoe fragments at a Roman
fort near Hadrian's Wall in England. I think
I went back too far. They found a Roman fort
near Hadrian's Wall in England. I missed it by
about 50 years. The shoe was around 2 ,000 years
old. Found at the Magna Fort in Northumberland,
England. They're finding a lot of stuff nowadays.
The shoe is well -preserved due to the oxygen
-free, water -loaded conditions of the soil where
it was found. Wow. We're going to have to move
on to something else. He's going into... Irish
Spring? Yeah. It looks like it's ostrich. Oh,
no, no. Those are holes. I wonder what they're
going to do in 2 ,000 years when they find a
croc. Yeah. Because you know those things are
going to last forever. Or an Air Jordan. Well,
those are just... Yes. Box of condoms. What the
fuck is that? A box of cotton. No, Air Jordan.
Air Jordan, and the pump still worked. I guess.
Remember the pump? We're not exactly sure why
there was a pump on the shoe. We had to do, I
remember that. We had to do an elementary, I
think it was an elementary project where you
had to pick three items from today, and you had
to have them buried and found like a thousand
years from now. And you had to say, what do they
think it is? You know what I mean? And I did
a toilet seat. And I said that they thought it
was a decorative, you know, tribal thing that
they hang around their neck. Yeah. It was really
interesting. And that was the whole point of
it. Are you saying they wouldn't have toilets
in the future? I don't know. That was just what
they wanted our little minds to think. Your little
mind thought that there was no other significant
use. How many years? 2000, you said? I don't
remember. It was just way into the future with
a totally different... Like 50 years? Yeah, like
50 years. Wait, what is this? I don't know. I
mean, it's funny when you go back and you watch
some of these cartoons like the Jetsons and they
kind of insinuate what year that is and they're
like, oh, this is 2025. You know? That's actually
what drives me nuts about science fiction movies.
They make it look so futuristic and they make
it Yeah, 2047. Yes. I'm like, dude, why not just
add 600 years to it? Well, that's what, what
did Blade Runner - I mean, how hard is that?
What did Blade Runner take place? 21 something.
Was it that far in the front? I don't even think
it was that far. Yeah, I think it was like 2137
or something. Yeah, they had flying cars. Yeah,
well, I mean, there might be flying cars by then.
Well, as a matter of fact, they just announced
that there is short distance airplane travel
now. that can... How short? From my house to
yours? It's called Helicaptor. No. They just
announced this, and it's... It's like blimps?
Does it vertically take off and land? But anyway,
it's like short, you know, like one city to another.
Like a Harrier? No. You'd have to look it up,
but it's kind of interesting looking, and it's
like all electric. It's an all -electric airplane
that actually can hold four passengers, and they're
saying that this is the future. No, there's going
to be so many wrecks and shit. You can't even
drive on the road. Yeah, unless it flies itself.
It'll be like Back to the Future where you have
drones that have vertical lanes. I do think that.
There'll be drones up in the air that are showing
the lights. Like Star Wars? Yeah. No. Why wouldn't
there be? No, we'll be dead. Well, we will be
dead. Yeah, it's like... But that is a Star Wars
episode where they find any on the planet. They
go to this other planet where they got the Cloud
City. It's like all that traffic up above the
city, and it's just nonstop going in every single
direction. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It will be that.
It will be that, and there'll be highways in
the sky, and then you'll have an exit ramp from
the sky, and you'll go down just like in Back
to the Future. Prove it. Oh. I'll disparage it.
How can it not happen? It has to happen. Think
about it when we have 30 billion people on the
planet. I don't think we can sustain it. I don't
think we'll ever get that big. Yeah, we will
die off. It's impossible. There'll be a natural
death. We're at, what, 8 billion now? Yeah. We're
over the top. What kills us? A virus. Yeah, well,
if Bill Gates and the New World Order have their
way, they'll just kill us all. They'll euthanize
us. I read something that they just caught some
Chinese communist folks smuggling in a fungus
that they were going... Kill our cows or something.
No, kill all the agriculture. Well, the livestock
or the... No, the plants. Oh, the plants. Like
it was a corn fungus or something. Yeah, it was
a fungus that... That would directly affect our
bourbon. Yes, it would. I didn't think it mattered.
It's a big deal, though. Yeah, but then when
I was researching, they're like, well, there's
some who say, well, that fungus is already here
and we already have food that's resistant to
it. Well, maybe there's some, but you're still
going to lose quite a bit. What was their motivation?
Yeah, they've smuggled it in. One guy got caught
a couple years ago. They sent his ass back, but
his girlfriend, or someone related to him, just
got caught this last month or this month. What
the hell? Smuggling it back in. How are they
catching them? That's crazy. I don't know. They
have a fungus meter. Fungus dog? Mm -hmm. Fungus
dog. Bark, bark, bark. I don't know what that
was. So you were saying about how we're going
to end, but you also talked about some giant
leap forward. Yeah, again, one of the books I'm
reading again, you know, James Rollins, you'll
get to it eventually, Sean, is talking about
this great leap forward where there was a point
in time that, I don't know how long ago it was,
50 ,000 years ago or something like that, where
before that we were just Neanderthals scratching
our nuts and, you know. You just described Sean.
Yeah, you know, just eating. You haven't progressed
much at all, Sean. What's going on here? No language,
no art, no social structure or anything like
that. And then something happened, and there's
debate on what caused it. Some of it is the climate
started the change. Our diet changed. Something
happened to our brain to make things connect,
basically. We were only using a portion of our
brain. If something happened where now we're
using another part, and they call it the Great
Leap Forward, And that's when art started to
happen, the cave paintings. We started using
more advanced tools. We started a full language.
A lot of social and culture started coming around
basically who we are today. It started out at
some point, but there was something that happened
back then that they're trying to figure out what.
And part of it is crossbreeding between the Neanderthals.
And what was the other one back then? Cro -Magnon
Man. I don't know. Possibly. But there's also
a third one out there, and I can't remember what
I called it. It sounded like a disease of some
sort. Desinovin or something like that. Disease.
Yeah. But they've discovered, because for the
longest time, they discovered these in the 80s.
This new race. Well, the Anathals interbred with
Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens. And they said that's
when some of that started happening. Which made
them smarter. Which made them smarter. You're
taking the good from here and the good from there
and shit melded. Take the good, you take the
good. But there's also the... There you have
the facts. The Denisovans. Yeah, the other thing
is right there. Denisovans. I don't know if I'm
saying that right. Looks right. Also existed
during this period, primarily in Asia. They're
closely related to Neanderthals and interbred
with both Neanderthals and the early Homo sapiens.
Whoa. Imagine how crazy that is. Yeah, just go
around having sex with all these different creatures.
One huge orgy. Right. So I find it very interesting.
I don't know what happened. I wonder if they
fought you, if they gave you resistance, or were
they just, you know. I wonder if they're just
like a huge bush working down there. Well, I
mean, the whole body was bush. Yeah. This is
true. How can you distinguish? It's like a big
cotton ball. It probably took them a while to
even find where to go. Just all peas. Just roll
them in flour, go for the wet spot. Oh. They
didn't have flour back then, though. Man, they
really struggled. That was one of the things
that developed, flour. That was a great leap
forward. That was before they got to... They
were like, oh! Okay, okay. Anyway, you and I,
I don't know, you know, they're obviously the
scientists and stuff, but think about it. As
soon as we evolved, From the point where, you
know, we could grow our own food. We could protect
ourselves. Like, we didn't spend all of our time
worrying about where we're going to eat again
or if we're going to get eaten by something,
right? As soon as they stopped being nomadic.
Didn't they shave their bush? Yeah, they shaved
their bush. And they procreated more. Or they
waxed. Because they could find the hole. Did
they have wax back then? Yeah. That's when the
Brazilian came out. No, they used the, they would
put a thick layer of honeycomb. They just did
landing strip first. I was trying to say something
intelligent. You guys torpedoed it totally. No,
but seriously, as soon as they stopped having
to worry about the absolute essentials of life,
then they can sit around and have division of
labor, right? So instead of these people going
out and doing hunting. Pre -aggression. Agricultural
societies. Fishing and shit, yeah. Diverse adaptations.
Yeah, and people had their different roles, and
then somebody had the role of painting on the
cave. Yeah, you had artists. Right. And it went
downhill from there. Right. And there's some
kid with attitude saying, Dad, I don't want to
be a hunter. What are you going to do, you little
shit? I'm going to play video games. I want to
paint on the cave wall, Dad. You're a fucking
loser. I'm breeding these frogs, Dad. Right.
Dad, look, they look like tadpoles. They turn
into frogs. I don't give a shit. Grab a spear.
Stop touching yourself. Kill the mammoths. Kill
the mammoths. Yeah. You know, all those, they
had, what was the, there was a news comic. article
where they had the cavemen on there. The owner
just died. The writer just died within the last
year. What is that? Original Blade Runner movie
is set in November 2019. What? In the past. Six
years ago. Their future world was 2019. The 1982
movie said by 2019 will be Blade Runner. Do you
see how short -sighted that is? It's so ridiculous.
I don't know. I mean, we have Tesla. We have
robots. We have robot taxis. Yeah, but they had
Daryl Hanna robots. Were those the little spiders
with Gene Simmons playing in the movie? No. I
saw that movie. That had Tom Selleck in it as
well. What did it? What are you talking about?
Gene Simmons was a... Evil Guy. What was the
name of that? It had Tom Selleck and Gene Simmons.
I saw it in the theater with my friend Scott
Gregory. Wow. Yes. Did Scott Gregory listen to
the podcast? I doubt it. I haven't talked to
him since high school. Since that movie? Yes.
Oh, Runaway. Runaway, yes. It also had Kirstie
Alley in it, I believe, when she was thin and
alive. She always had that mustache. And alive.
Oh, dude, he rocks the mustache. He's always
had that mustache. I have never heard of this
movie. 1984, PG -13, Runaway. Hour and 40 minutes.
It was good. It was very, at the time. Yeah,
they had a lot of robots on there. And it was
set in 2010. Was it really? I don't know. Oh,
no. Probably was. Look at that car. God. Basically,
they had these spiders that would come after
you, and they were big. They were about six to
12 inches in diameter, and they had this little
needle that sticks out to come after you. Yeah,
but you'd think there's Gene Simmons. There's
Gene Simmons. Oh, my God. It's so bad. It's directed
by Michael Crichton. Did you know that? It was,
yeah. There's Kirstie Alley, too, with the big
hair. I wonder if this is around the Star Trek
time. Oh, yeah. Look at that. When she was a
big deal. She's the broad. The blonde is the
broad from Dirty Dancing, I think. What? Oh,
really? I think. That was right after she got
her nose job. Cynthia Rhodes. I've never heard
of this movie. That's so interesting. Was that
Christopher Reeves? No. No. That's Gene Simms.
Oh, yeah. No, I'm not talking about that. Yeah,
this bullet is like a missile. Seeker? Yeah,
it seeks him out. He's a tech. Oh, there they
are. Cynthia Rhodes, Christy Alley. Crazy. It
was good. Well, I haven't seen it since then,
but I liked it back then. Back then you were
12. But again, it is so disappointing that they
can't just leap so much further into the future.
What's the harm in it? What's the harm in saying
20, 25, 31? Well, that's what Buck Rogers did.
He went way into the future. Yeah, there you
go. What was that, 25 in the 25th century? 25th
century or something. Hold on. Buck Rogers. Buck
Rogers. What a bummer. The synopsis just says,
in the near future. So, you know, for your runaway
movie. That could be generic, right? So you could
do that. But I remember in Buck Rogers, his little
partner, the girl. That's all Buck. She was nice
looking. Oh. I can't remember her name. She was
in Silver Spoon. Yeah, Gray. Aaron Gray. Aaron
Gray, yeah. Yes. What does she look like? Erin
Gray. I'm having trouble thinking of her. She
was in Silver Spoons. She was a teenage boy back
in the 80s dream. She's still kind of cute, even
for being 100. You need to find her in some of
her Buck Rogers uniforms. Yeah, we're not seeing
any good pictures here, Mr. Producer. Silver
Spoons. I never watched that show. I don't think
I really did either. He kind of reminded me of
Richie Rich. Yeah. It was the same kind of...
I read those books, Richie Rich. Erin Gray. Okay.
I mean, that's an all right picture. She was
just cute. She was an all -American girl. Okay,
yes, yes. I'm remembering what she looks like
now. She was the mom on Silver Spring. She was
the... No, she wasn't the mom. She was the...
Babysitter? Oh, pass. She the babysitter, Jeff?
Was she your babysitter? She was the babysitter.
Okay. Well, I don't think we're going to get
any good, good pictures of Aaron Gray. Well,
Sean already put in Aaron Gray nude. Oh, nice.
How did you see that? Yeah. That needs to be
projected onto the TV. Okay. Anyway. All right.
So. Well, we talked about this. This is coming
Friday. So we're super excited about that. Yes.
We'll talk with the Horsenet guys. I'll send
out an email. I am excited about that. That should
be. We've never done anything like this before.
No, no, we're passing out a bunch of these business
cards, which is great. Yeah. Probably need to
advertise for those folks wanting to listen to
us anywhere. We can listen to us anywhere. iTunes.
Yeah. Spotify. Spotify, Apple, YouTube, iHeart,
Pandora. Twitch. No, we're not on Twitch. Damn
it. We're on a bunch. We're on Apple. We're on
enough to know. If anybody wants to find us,
they can find us. No question about it. Well,
I was going somewhere with that, but I kind of
forgot it. So it doesn't matter. We're going
to do what? We're going to talk about our...
Our bourbon that is all gone. Oh. What? Oh, yeah,
it is. Yeah. Yeah. Look at you nursing ears.
I told you guys to... What is it, Jeff? This
is an old one. I have no idea when we got this.
This is Jack Daniels. It's probably one of our
oldest bottles we've had out there. Yeah, it
probably is one of the older ones. Jack Daniels
Gentleman Jack. It's solid. It doesn't knock
our socks off from a proof perspective. I don't
even know what the proof is on this. But it's
super, super 80. 80. We're kind of like, come
on. We are such snobs. No, but 80 proof, it's
kind of like, that's the stuff I mix in my bourbon.
I understand that, but... You mix in your bourbon?
You had more than we have with our second pour.
Chuck, did you need some more? Yes, absolutely.
All right, what is... All right, what is... Let's
just go through it. Let's go through it real
quick. What's the nose? Thin. By the way, I can't
smell anything, so I'm out on the nose. Actually,
it smells like Jack Daniels to me. Yeah. Bananaly,
bananas. It's super light. Yeah. I think the
nose is stronger than the actual palate for me.
Oh, my God. This would be so dangerous. We literally...
It's too bland for me. It's got a very light
tobacco taste to it that kind of, for me, the
rest of it's just not strong enough to punch
through it. The spice doesn't punch through it.
It's there. The honey, all the traditional caramels,
they're there, but they're so subtle. You can
drink this with a... If you were to pour this
on ice... And a straw. You could drink a full
tumbler of it. Easily. That's exactly what I
was going to say. If we took a bottle of this
and poured an entire tumbler, how dangerous would
that be? I don't know. Like when you're on a
boat somewhere and you're just like. Let's go
back in time a couple days. Challenge accepted,
I guess. Dude, you would suck this down so fast.
Well, you sucked down 124 proof the other night.
I know. No, are you talking about what you poured?
Yes. That. Killed me. You drank a third of the
Captain Morgan's bottle. No, that's not what
killed me. It was the shot. I'm not saying it
didn't kill you. That was more than a shot. I'm
saying you did it. The shot killed me. I can't
do that shit. I can't. Why did you shoot it?
I have no idea. I thought you all did. No, I
sipped on mine the whole night. That blacked
me out. That pushed you over the edge, huh? Killed
me. I had five beers and I was totally fine.
And then I downed that whole thing. Yeah. Not
knowing really. Yeah, you turned the corner and
we had to call it. We were like, yeah, we got
to go. Yeah, I was blown up. Yeah. But it was
good. This is, again, this is all right. I'd
get this to mix it with something, I guess. I
just wouldn't get this to drink. That's interesting.
But getting to the point where the stuff that
we would never think about mixing before. we
would mix now. And plus, this is kind of one
of those upscale ones a little bit above Jack
and Jim and stuff like that, where if you went
to a wedding and they had Gentleman Jack, you'd
be drinking this all night. Yeah, you would.
Right? Absolutely. I'm wondering, since the bottle's
been open, if it's just off -gassed so much that
it's kind of lost its... We'll have to get a
new bottle to find out. I don't think so. I don't.
I don't know. I think our palate is so conditioned
now for the higher proof, rich bourbons, that
this kind of stuff just doesn't do much for us.
So, I don't know. It's good. Yeah, there's nothing
wrong with it. It's like a hard tea. Actually,
it's just not strong enough for us anymore, flavor
-wise. The flavor that's there. It's good. What
flavor do you taste? It's very nice. I pick up
the tobacco. I think that's the overwhelming
thing that I taste. It's like the residual left.
There's some sweetness up in the front for me.
It's like a brown sugar. A sugary. A maple or
a molasses. Vanilla. Vanilla for sure. Caramel.
Caramel. Caramel. Caramel. It's caramel for me.
Caramel. Well, anyway, so let's rate this thing.
This is 80 proof. So look, how many other 80
proofs do we have? I was going to say, we haven't
rated a bunch of 80 proofs. I don't know. Hardly
any. Because it's an 80 proof, it's going to
hit a 6 probably just because it's an 80 proof.
But by no means is this a 6 on the grand scope
of things. No, it's a nice 80 proof. You know,
80 proof. It's a nice 80 proof. Chuck, if you're
going to poke, I'll do 5 .5. I'm going to rate
this a 5 .5. I'm sorry. But what are you rating
it against? Other 80 proofs? You know what? This
is the starter for me. Yes. I don't remember
any other 80 proofs because we have some out
there. That's what I'm saying. I can't figure
out how to rate this because I don't know what
other 80 proofs would be like. Well, just rate
it what you think. I think this is a six for
me. Yeah. Just, like I said, I could drink this
all night. It doesn't taste bad. It's just there's
hardly anything there. Right. It's something
that's a quick ride. Yeah. But it's refreshing.
I would like, you know, if somebody poured me
a glass. Yeah, like Chuck said, you go to the
wedding, I'd drink this all night. If someone
poured me a carafe. If you had a bladder of it.
Yes, like an IV. Well, we had black powder in
a fucking bag. This is better than Blatt. Right.
That's my point. All right, so I'm going to give
it a six. I can't go higher than a six. I'll
give it a six as well. Yeah, I mean, maybe we
revisit this. Maybe we try another 80 proof next
week, and then we kind of start, because we have
some out there. We have to try them. We've got
to get through this stuff. And that way we have
at least one to compare it to. Agreed. I just
ran out of my San Pellegrino. Oh, you're in trouble.
Yes. Do you have any more over there? You're
going to panic? No. I forgot to bring a bottle.
I don't have any downstairs. How much time do
we have? Probably three minutes. How many? Five
minutes. All right. Let's talk about something
else. I was going to bring up one thing that
was actually a new thing. Everybody's been waiting
on an update on the Carmelo Anthony story, right?
We're back to Frisco. Frisco News. Yeah, well,
I just wanted to bring this up because there
are some people that have been waiting to hear.
So this is the story of the high school track
meet, and one student confronted another about
being under the wrong tent, and his response
was to stab him in the heart, and he died. Basically.
Yeah, basically it. And then it kind of blew
up. There was a lot of racist overtones to this
whole thing because the suspect is black and
the victim was white. And they both come from
decent families. So I don't know where that was
going to go. But anyway, the official indictment
has now been released. He has been charged with
first -degree murder. As an adult. As an adult.
And what I'm hearing is his self -defense case
does not look good. Based on... Some reports
of very limited viewing of surveillance footage
that was captured on the opposite side of the
stadium. They reviewed it and they said there
was no physical skirmish under the tent prior
to the stabbing incident. Meaning he didn't push
him to the ground and punch him and get him in
a chokehold. You know, anything that would imply
some sort of... Like a Daniel Penny situation
like in New York where the guy was clearly threatening
people. Correct. So the self -defense... doesn't
seem to hold. We'll wait and see. You never know
what happens when a jury gets a hold of this
and all the stories around the whole thing and
how he was bullied. I wonder where is he going
to be tried? I think Frisco. It can't be in Frisco.
That's a great point. I mean, it's going to be
Collin County in McKinney, I think. Unless they
can get a change of venue, you know. Yeah, I
don't know. Because it's just too in the news,
right? Yeah. I mean, it's unfortunate, but he's
a product of something. He did that because he
learned that. So, you know, there comes a point
where... Could be impulse control as well. It
was premeditated. I mean, who carries around
Rambo knives in their bags? It was a kitchen
knife one. It doesn't matter. It was big. It
was a big knife. It wasn't like a little pocket
knife that everybody kind of carried. He planned
on doing it. Yeah, that's kind of the... Well,
he brought... Apparently, he brought knives to
school in the past. I'm still hearing from sources
that know the family and like the younger brother
knows the sibling, that kind of thing, that there
was an incident before this one at a party where
they had a beef and there was a phone was knocked
out of his hand and it broke and he was hitting
on his girlfriend. That's the story I've heard
multiple times now. So I don't think it's entirely
true that they didn't know each other. Oh, I
don't know. I don't know. And that, to me, makes
more sense. For him to just snap when he doesn't
really even know him, and they have no history,
and he decides to pull a knife and stab him,
and he was like, come on, come on, you know,
try it, see what happens. See what happens. It
seems to me like this was premeditated because
he was embarrassed or made angry. From some other
incident. Disrespected. Disrespected. That's
a perfect word. Disrespected. Right. And then,
you know, some young males don't handle that
well. Right? So I think he just made a horrible
decision based on some other stuff. So we'll
see. Yeah. Anyway, that's one update there. I'm
just trying to fill some time here. Yeah, it's
sad, though. I mean, there's a lot of lives that
were affected from this. Oh, huge. And all the...
Devastated. The creepies that came out of the
woodwork that just... Well, it's a lot of folks
that didn't even live in Frisco that were throwing
gas out of the... Most of the gas. Yeah. Putting
up banners along the high school sides and on
the fences and just in support of a murderer.
And then how do you even want to support anybody?
It seems to me like before you put your eggs
in a basket, you kind of want to weigh out all
the facts instead of jumping to these conclusions.
This isn't like the George Floyd episode where,
you know, and even now they're contesting that
he didn't die because of the neon. the throat
that the only reason that the officer went to
jail was because they didn't want another justice
had to be served yeah yeah they needed something
to throw the stones at this fit look people need
to grow up you know make better decisions that's
bottom line you can't you can't solve problems
that way and back to the the point what i made
earlier is how is this learned behavior how i
mean where's this yeah i don't know There's a
culture out there. Yeah, but we don't have any
fact behind that one. But it's not necessarily
with him. There's a culture out there. And I'm
not talking about him being black. I'm talking
about there's a culture with the kids nowadays
where this is something. Yeah, you fuck around
and find out. Yeah, no, that's the part. There's
no repercussions for so long in their life. They
probably, they don't think that long there's
going to be repercussions for this. Consequences.
Consequences. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know I thought
my boys, if they did something, I was like, there's
a consequence to the action you just took. 100%.
And he's going to face it. Yeah, he is. I hate
it. I hate the whole story. But anyway, I just
wanted to give that update. All right. Well,
we're wrapping up the first half. It is. We are.
It is. It's the first half of our Dudes Like
