WEBVTT

00:00:04.769 --> 00:00:07.290
It'll be another podcast of black things all

00:00:07.290 --> 00:00:10.929
over your face. Is that your jam? My headphones

00:00:10.929 --> 00:00:15.169
are separating. They're disintegrating. Disintegrating

00:00:15.169 --> 00:00:20.649
is a better word. Here we are. We are. You know,

00:00:20.750 --> 00:00:25.050
shoot, today was a great day, wasn't it? It was

00:00:25.050 --> 00:00:29.969
a good day, Sean. That's just a random no context.

00:00:30.730 --> 00:00:32.390
Today's a good day. I mean, you know, because

00:00:32.390 --> 00:00:36.350
it's what? It's July 1st. It is. It's July 1st,

00:00:36.350 --> 00:00:37.909
and you're just thinking Armageddon with the

00:00:37.909 --> 00:00:42.070
heat. Yeah, it's hot. Did your balls heal? I

00:00:42.070 --> 00:00:45.549
forgot what that was about. You had serious chafe

00:00:45.549 --> 00:00:48.810
and swelling. Oh, that was the night. That was

00:00:48.810 --> 00:00:51.750
the day I did some work in my garage. Yeah, you

00:00:51.750 --> 00:00:53.549
know what? It healed the next day. It's kind

00:00:53.549 --> 00:00:57.320
of calloused over. I got very... It took 28 minutes,

00:00:57.539 --> 00:01:00.299
28 seconds to say the word ball. My wibbles are

00:01:00.299 --> 00:01:03.539
extremely resilient. They just probably had something

00:01:03.539 --> 00:01:05.379
to do with that salve I put on it. It could be.

00:01:05.859 --> 00:01:08.659
I'm getting out of the shower. We have an exciting

00:01:08.659 --> 00:01:12.000
guest. We do. A repeat. It's the first half of

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.599
the podcast. It is, what did we say, July 1st?

00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:19.439
It is July 1st. Mr. Producer is sitting at the

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.170
helm. We've got a fantastic first half. We had

00:01:23.170 --> 00:01:26.109
an event that our guest missed out on because

00:01:26.109 --> 00:01:29.489
you were sick. I don't know if that was a facade.

00:01:29.810 --> 00:01:32.450
Can't wait to hear the real story. Sorry, you

00:01:32.450 --> 00:01:35.010
guys didn't score high enough. We didn't get

00:01:35.010 --> 00:01:36.629
a rose for that night. But regardless, the dudes

00:01:36.629 --> 00:01:39.170
like us. I'm Sean. I'm Paul. I am Jeff. And I'm

00:01:39.170 --> 00:01:41.689
Jackie Mack. There you go. Jackie Mack. Jack

00:01:41.689 --> 00:01:45.150
is back. For the second time? The second time.

00:01:45.230 --> 00:01:48.450
Second time. Nice. No, we're not going to talk

00:01:48.450 --> 00:01:50.950
about it, but she brought a nice bottle of bourbon

00:01:50.950 --> 00:01:53.950
that we're sampling. Yes. At least my bottle.

00:01:54.049 --> 00:01:55.989
We're not going to talk about it? No, we'll talk

00:01:55.989 --> 00:01:58.189
about it eventually. Oh, later? Yes, later. Okay.

00:01:58.390 --> 00:02:01.250
Yeah, we like to have that listener apprehension,

00:02:01.250 --> 00:02:04.849
that buildup, so they explode when we talk about

00:02:04.849 --> 00:02:06.310
it. No, they just fast forward it. The wonderment.

00:02:06.390 --> 00:02:09.889
So we had invited you to an event. This happened

00:02:09.889 --> 00:02:13.680
this past Friday, put on by Horse Neck. Those

00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:17.620
folks out there, Darren Ford and Jim and who

00:02:17.620 --> 00:02:18.819
are the rest of the guys? I can't remember all

00:02:18.819 --> 00:02:21.939
their names. All of them. It was great. For $40,

00:02:22.099 --> 00:02:25.020
you walk in there. They give you a little Glencairn

00:02:25.020 --> 00:02:28.219
glass. They racked up 20, 25 bottles against

00:02:28.219 --> 00:02:31.000
the wall of various whiskeys and bourbons. Help

00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.479
yourself. And they said, gentlemen, I have not

00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:35.159
been to an event where you just help yourself

00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:36.860
to all these different bottles. Take it off.

00:02:37.300 --> 00:02:40.879
That was crazy. That was really cool. You haven't

00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.819
been to a bottle share? No, actually, I have

00:02:43.819 --> 00:02:46.740
not. Oh, I didn't invite y 'all to a bottle share.

00:02:46.819 --> 00:02:49.800
That was a lot of fun. It was a lot. It was jam

00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.219
-packed. So first of all, it's somewhere we didn't

00:02:52.219 --> 00:02:54.379
expect. At least I didn't. You know, I was expecting,

00:02:54.500 --> 00:02:55.819
I was thinking it was going to be like in a restaurant

00:02:55.819 --> 00:02:58.080
because it was downtown The Star. We call it

00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.300
downtown, but The Star. And it's really nice

00:03:00.300 --> 00:03:02.379
bars and restaurants down there, but it was called

00:03:02.379 --> 00:03:04.919
The 12th. I think it's called The 12th, right?

00:03:05.020 --> 00:03:07.000
The 12th. The 12th. Is that what it is? It's

00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.330
a condo. It's condominium. It's beautiful. Yeah,

00:03:10.330 --> 00:03:12.710
high class. It was basically their clubhouse

00:03:12.710 --> 00:03:16.430
for that floor in the condo, I guess. I don't

00:03:16.430 --> 00:03:18.310
know. Yeah, the sixth floor. I think it's the

00:03:18.310 --> 00:03:20.509
entire condominiums, right? Because there's a

00:03:20.509 --> 00:03:22.430
pool on that level as well. Oh, good point. And

00:03:22.430 --> 00:03:25.169
a fitness center. The amenities floor. Correct.

00:03:25.169 --> 00:03:26.729
The amenities center or whatever. Yes. Yeah,

00:03:26.750 --> 00:03:28.849
so they made it out for this event. That big

00:03:28.849 --> 00:03:30.550
old floor right there. That's where we're at.

00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.300
It was super cool. Oh, and the patio was beautiful

00:03:34.300 --> 00:03:36.419
out there. The weather was perfect. It was a

00:03:36.419 --> 00:03:38.560
little warm, but still, it was beautiful out

00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.360
there. The sun was setting. You could look downtown.

00:03:40.819 --> 00:03:42.759
I never went out there. I didn't either. Oh,

00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.159
man. That was dumb. Well, you had to go find

00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:48.960
Larry, didn't you? Larry. Oh, yeah. Larry went

00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:51.870
on a walkabout the wrong direction. Shout out

00:03:51.870 --> 00:03:54.909
to Larry joining us out there at the event. He's

00:03:54.909 --> 00:03:56.629
like, I was just here. Because he was across

00:03:56.629 --> 00:03:58.550
the street where he should have been, where he

00:03:58.550 --> 00:04:01.789
parked. And then he just headed towards the -

00:04:01.789 --> 00:04:03.770
Wandered south? Yeah, he went the wrong way.

00:04:04.129 --> 00:04:06.909
Yeah. I said, Larry, there you are. Larry. So

00:04:06.909 --> 00:04:09.229
anyways, it was a great time. Food, they had

00:04:09.229 --> 00:04:12.430
brisket, ribs. And they did the white elephant

00:04:12.430 --> 00:04:16.529
style bourbon. Yes, yes. And they raffled off

00:04:16.529 --> 00:04:19.509
a few things. Yes. I didn't win anything. Ever.

00:04:19.550 --> 00:04:22.170
Chuck won a bottle of Eagle Rare. Yep. Yeah.

00:04:22.209 --> 00:04:24.470
Wow. He was super excited about that. But it

00:04:24.470 --> 00:04:26.750
sucks, doesn't it? It's 3 .9. Whatever. I mean,

00:04:26.790 --> 00:04:29.370
whiskey is whiskey. And free is free. I wouldn't

00:04:29.370 --> 00:04:31.389
say it sucked. I just didn't rate it high. I'm

00:04:31.389 --> 00:04:32.310
never going to let it beat that. So you walked

00:04:32.310 --> 00:04:35.089
in and you had all these different bourbon samples

00:04:35.089 --> 00:04:39.449
to drink from. You had food. Yes. Entertainment.

00:04:39.889 --> 00:04:41.649
Yeah. You told me about the lady at the bar.

00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.040
Well, I mean, she wasn't entertaining. I was

00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.860
just saying that she was pretty, you know? And

00:04:48.860 --> 00:04:52.000
I was like, yeah. So, yeah, there were a lot

00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:53.579
of people that were there. And then there was

00:04:53.579 --> 00:04:55.899
a couple there. You had mentioned the pretty

00:04:55.899 --> 00:04:57.660
ladies at the bar we were talking about earlier.

00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.279
Yeah. How many numbers did they call? Was it

00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:04.079
about 65? folks shoot man yes in the 60s there

00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:07.740
had to be 65 because larry was number 65 and

00:05:07.740 --> 00:05:10.379
he was the last one and they were like well she

00:05:10.379 --> 00:05:12.839
got this one who's left actually had the choice

00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:16.199
of anything right yeah anything that wasn't stolen

00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:19.879
twice already yeah the the i think the only thing

00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:22.779
i noticed there is i think there were a lot of

00:05:22.779 --> 00:05:26.259
folks there who didn't know bourbon yeah real

00:05:26.259 --> 00:05:29.709
well because they were, I think the bourbon,

00:05:29.709 --> 00:05:31.250
I'm not saying everybody, but there are a lot

00:05:31.250 --> 00:05:32.550
of folks there. I didn't have a lot of bourbon

00:05:32.550 --> 00:05:35.009
knowledge on what was good, what was, you know,

00:05:35.009 --> 00:05:40.430
they gravitated to the norms, right? So the names

00:05:40.430 --> 00:05:42.170
that you may have heard before, in my opinion.

00:05:42.230 --> 00:05:45.069
The ones that are easy to find, readily available.

00:05:45.410 --> 00:05:48.529
Yeah, the E .H. Taylor, maybe. Well, that was

00:05:48.529 --> 00:05:51.170
one. People know about that one, so that got

00:05:51.170 --> 00:05:53.839
stolen real quick. Uh, but the angels envy, they

00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:55.560
got all excited about this, you know, standard

00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.620
angels, envies and, uh, stuff like that. And,

00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:00.519
you know, there's a couple of interesting bottles

00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:02.779
there. I think all the stuff we brought was interesting.

00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.959
What did everybody get? I got the, well, via

00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:11.240
Sean, I originally pulled a Doc Swinson's rye,

00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:15.060
uh, which who knows? Yeah. Well, we didn't like,

00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:17.339
I didn't like the Doc Swinson's bourbon at all.

00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.339
So I wasn't real thrilled. And then someone pulled

00:06:20.339 --> 00:06:24.959
a Buffalo Trace kosher wheat. I had never even

00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.339
heard of that one before. It's pretty good. I

00:06:27.339 --> 00:06:30.240
like the kosher wheat. Evidently, they make a

00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.699
rye as well. So they make a Buffalo Trace kosher

00:06:33.699 --> 00:06:35.899
rye. Yeah, they have a line. I've never heard

00:06:35.899 --> 00:06:37.759
of them, either of them. So when I saw that,

00:06:37.939 --> 00:06:40.600
I looked at that. I said, wow. I yelled across

00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:44.139
20 feet or so to the guy. Wow, that is awesome.

00:06:44.259 --> 00:06:46.720
Man, that's a great find. He was like, you want

00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.970
it? And I was like, yes, sir. He grabbed my bottle

00:06:50.970 --> 00:06:52.850
and went and swapped it. In the middle of the

00:06:52.850 --> 00:06:54.470
thing, he went over and made a trade. I was like,

00:06:54.509 --> 00:06:57.990
can we do that? Well, I mean, he was going to

00:06:57.990 --> 00:06:59.529
give it to me. He didn't want anything in return.

00:06:59.709 --> 00:07:01.230
I was like, no, I'll give you Jeff's bottle.

00:07:01.329 --> 00:07:03.889
It's okay. I'm perfectly fine with that because,

00:07:03.949 --> 00:07:05.389
like I said, I was not impressed with the Doc

00:07:05.389 --> 00:07:07.649
Swinson's. I asked him first. I wouldn't have

00:07:07.649 --> 00:07:09.509
just done it. I would have paid for it no matter

00:07:09.509 --> 00:07:12.930
what. But anyways, it was fun. It was a lot of

00:07:12.930 --> 00:07:15.569
fun. It was. I want to do a shout out. God bless

00:07:15.569 --> 00:07:16.750
it. I pulled out my phone and just went to sleep.

00:07:16.829 --> 00:07:20.350
So it's no in Victoria. So if you were wondering,

00:07:20.529 --> 00:07:22.410
Jeff, that's them. They were standing in the

00:07:22.410 --> 00:07:23.850
corner. Yeah, they were standing next to me.

00:07:23.970 --> 00:07:25.870
Yeah. I don't remember. There were so many folks

00:07:25.870 --> 00:07:28.610
there. And they're cool. Yeah. Yeah. And surprisingly,

00:07:28.910 --> 00:07:36.139
I've seen. I've seen some voiceovers. You zoomed

00:07:36.139 --> 00:07:38.779
in right into her crotch. What you were showing

00:07:38.779 --> 00:07:42.259
me was like, I don't know. What was so interesting

00:07:42.259 --> 00:07:45.519
about the crotch? No, but the thing is, I was

00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:46.920
just thinking that she was, and look, this is

00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:48.220
going to sound horrible, because you've got this

00:07:48.220 --> 00:07:52.819
preconceived notion of how certain women sound

00:07:52.819 --> 00:07:56.490
and stuff. She sounds nothing like... The way

00:07:56.490 --> 00:08:00.350
she looks. She kind of sounded like the senator

00:08:00.350 --> 00:08:03.230
or the congressman from Arizona. It was Carrie...

00:08:03.230 --> 00:08:07.410
Lake? Carrie Lake. She has a fantastic voice.

00:08:07.509 --> 00:08:09.889
Some of the stuff that she was talking on her

00:08:09.889 --> 00:08:13.730
Instagram account, and it is... What is the thing?

00:08:14.029 --> 00:08:17.910
God bless it. Well, God bless it. It's No and

00:08:17.910 --> 00:08:22.209
Victoria Urea. Or Urea. I hope I'm pronouncing

00:08:22.209 --> 00:08:25.790
that right. So they basically don't just rep

00:08:25.790 --> 00:08:29.269
brands. We build them. So they're into advertising.

00:08:29.550 --> 00:08:31.550
And maybe they can hear this. Join us on the

00:08:31.550 --> 00:08:33.129
podcast. Maybe they'll figure out how they can

00:08:33.129 --> 00:08:35.669
pump up our podcast. There you go. Snap, snap.

00:08:36.169 --> 00:08:39.009
He had heard of us because they work with Horseneck.

00:08:39.070 --> 00:08:40.570
And Horseneck, of course, was on the podcast.

00:08:41.070 --> 00:08:42.669
So I was like, hey, I'm one of the guys from

00:08:42.669 --> 00:08:44.070
the podcast. He goes, oh, dude, like those podcasts.

00:08:44.149 --> 00:08:46.159
Yeah, I've heard of you guys. I was like, oh,

00:08:46.259 --> 00:08:49.360
really? Like, did the random heard of you? But

00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:51.940
no, it was through whoever. He heard about chocolate.

00:08:52.059 --> 00:08:53.700
No, no, it was a really good time. I really enjoyed

00:08:53.700 --> 00:08:55.500
myself. And they had, like I said, they had some

00:08:55.500 --> 00:08:58.960
good foods. Michael from Boozy Baking came. He

00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:00.799
had some meats. Oh, yeah. He was there, and he

00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:02.820
brought some cookies, and those were always delicious.

00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:06.929
They are. They are. Have you not? Do you know

00:09:06.929 --> 00:09:09.429
what we're talking about? No. So it's the Boozy

00:09:09.429 --> 00:09:11.389
Baking Company. Yes. Is that what I said? That's

00:09:11.389 --> 00:09:13.570
exactly right. The Boozy Baking Company. So Michael

00:09:13.570 --> 00:09:16.529
is one of the founders, owners of that company,

00:09:16.590 --> 00:09:18.549
and they basically make their cookies with alcohol,

00:09:18.690 --> 00:09:23.009
with choice select whiskeys and bourbons. And

00:09:23.009 --> 00:09:26.269
not just a tiny amount either. Oh, my gosh. Yeah.

00:09:26.269 --> 00:09:28.850
He apparently puts a healthy amount in his cookies.

00:09:28.990 --> 00:09:34.250
Those cookies are tremendous. Yep. So he's got

00:09:34.250 --> 00:09:37.169
a trade secret on how he makes them. With that

00:09:37.169 --> 00:09:41.730
much alcohol. He's figured out the formula to

00:09:41.730 --> 00:09:44.149
use that much alcohol and actually make a cookie.

00:09:44.769 --> 00:09:47.330
Where you can actually taste it? Yes. So when

00:09:47.330 --> 00:09:49.450
you're eating the cookie, you can taste the alcohol?

00:09:49.769 --> 00:09:51.690
Yes, you can, but it's not overpowering either.

00:09:51.809 --> 00:09:55.269
Yeah, that's not overpowering either. Half a

00:09:55.269 --> 00:09:57.789
shot. Yeah, half a shot per cookie. Oh, damn.

00:09:57.870 --> 00:10:02.059
Half a shot per cookie? Yes. Yeah. Good stuff.

00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:04.080
I know, right? That's intriguing. I feel like

00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:05.740
I need to go get some cookies. Yes, they're very,

00:10:05.779 --> 00:10:07.220
very good. If you told me, I would have brought

00:10:07.220 --> 00:10:09.799
some. Right? And I don't think they're not cheap.

00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:12.000
And that's probably one of the things he's struggling

00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.179
with. It's like people don't want to spend a

00:10:14.179 --> 00:10:15.799
lot of money for a cookie. I don't know. It's

00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:19.360
$8 .25. If you look at the screen, it just showed

00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:22.259
the cookie was like $8. Right. So if you think

00:10:22.259 --> 00:10:25.360
about dessert and if it's a good -sized cookie.

00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:28.019
Right. Yeah, they're beefy. They're beefy. They

00:10:28.019 --> 00:10:31.039
have smaller ones as well. Like a smaller little

00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.799
single one. But those cookies are a nice size,

00:10:33.820 --> 00:10:35.779
and they're thick and heavy. Right. They have

00:10:35.779 --> 00:10:38.639
some nice thickness. I don't know. They're expensive,

00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:41.139
but they're worth it. They've got some girth

00:10:41.139 --> 00:10:44.960
in this, Tom. Wow. All righty. Here we go. Here

00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:48.679
we go. I always enjoy talking about girth on

00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.799
a Tuesday night. So, yeah, Jeff walked away with,

00:10:52.899 --> 00:10:57.039
you know, for the Buffalo Trace. The kosher wheat.

00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:59.440
Kosher wheat. And Paul walked, what'd you walk

00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:01.659
away with, Paul? I had the minor case. Well,

00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:03.139
the first one you walked away with. Minor case

00:11:03.139 --> 00:11:06.360
of what? Herpes. The first one you walked away

00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:08.840
with was. Field of Dreams. Field of Dreams. Yeah,

00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:11.820
and the guy that bought it totally spoiled it.

00:11:11.860 --> 00:11:13.779
And he probably would have talked about it around

00:11:13.779 --> 00:11:16.039
the people around him. But as soon as I picked

00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:17.620
it up and I was kind of checking it out, he walks

00:11:17.620 --> 00:11:20.049
across the room. stands next to me and starts

00:11:20.049 --> 00:11:22.529
whispering to me about why this is such an important

00:11:22.529 --> 00:11:26.490
bottle. I'm like, dude, go away. Don't draw attention

00:11:26.490 --> 00:11:29.009
to me and this bottle. Other people are going

00:11:29.009 --> 00:11:31.350
to be like, ooh, what is this bottle? So tell

00:11:31.350 --> 00:11:33.690
me about Field of Dreams. I've never even heard

00:11:33.690 --> 00:11:35.870
of Field of Dreams. So it apparently, and I couldn't,

00:11:35.870 --> 00:11:37.649
I didn't hear everything he said. It was really

00:11:37.649 --> 00:11:40.090
a quick conversation, but he said some ex -MLB

00:11:40.090 --> 00:11:43.370
baseball players got together and they, I guess

00:11:43.370 --> 00:11:46.129
maybe they picked a barrel and then they bottled,

00:11:46.149 --> 00:11:48.309
you know, they bottle it and they all got assigned,

00:11:48.889 --> 00:11:52.289
a number of the bottle. And so, but, but what's

00:11:52.289 --> 00:11:53.950
strange about it is like the bottle I had was

00:11:53.950 --> 00:11:56.610
like 20 ,000 and something. So I don't know how

00:11:56.610 --> 00:11:58.990
many bottles he was talking about, but he was

00:11:58.990 --> 00:12:02.190
telling me, if you can find out, you can look

00:12:02.190 --> 00:12:04.789
up the number and figure out which major league

00:12:04.789 --> 00:12:06.970
baseball player that is associated with getting

00:12:06.970 --> 00:12:09.269
contact with them. And it'll probably pay a lot

00:12:09.269 --> 00:12:12.450
of money to get it back from you. So 20 ,000,

00:12:12.450 --> 00:12:14.990
your number is 20 ,000? That's what my bottle

00:12:14.990 --> 00:12:17.190
was. Man, that is quite, that's like, you know,

00:12:17.230 --> 00:12:20.269
water into wine. If you take in a barrel that

00:12:20.269 --> 00:12:23.389
everybody picked. There was. It may be multiple

00:12:23.389 --> 00:12:25.289
barrels. That part I didn't quite understand.

00:12:25.529 --> 00:12:28.210
Okay. But that was the general. One bottle for

00:12:28.210 --> 00:12:32.070
every player in Major League history. Oh, okay.

00:12:32.230 --> 00:12:34.490
Oh, there you go. Oh, yeah. So you're going,

00:12:34.590 --> 00:12:36.730
if you put in like one, just by like Ty Cobb

00:12:36.730 --> 00:12:37.889
or something like that, you're not going to find

00:12:37.889 --> 00:12:40.769
him. Would he be able to pay for my bottle? I

00:12:40.769 --> 00:12:46.110
don't know. Put in like... So the bottles are

00:12:46.110 --> 00:12:47.889
desirable because there was a gentleman that

00:12:47.889 --> 00:12:50.830
was sitting where the kitchenette is where all

00:12:50.830 --> 00:12:53.090
the bourbon bottles. He is a collector and he

00:12:53.090 --> 00:12:54.909
says, yeah, I've got two, three thousand bottles

00:12:54.909 --> 00:12:58.090
sitting in a special room and I'll invite you

00:12:58.090 --> 00:12:59.789
guys over and you can do a tasting. And I was

00:12:59.789 --> 00:13:04.169
like, we're on our way. But he went over there

00:13:04.169 --> 00:13:06.429
and grabbed it. He was the one that took it from

00:13:06.429 --> 00:13:09.480
you. Oh, he's the one that... Someone got it

00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:11.820
from him, too. Oh, so you didn't get to keep

00:13:11.820 --> 00:13:13.799
that. No, it got stolen. It got stolen. And then

00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:16.480
I went and picked up Minor Case, which is actually

00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.340
a limestone distillery. Is it a bourbon or is

00:13:20.340 --> 00:13:25.500
it a whiskey? I don't know. I thought it was

00:13:25.500 --> 00:13:29.940
a bourbon. What is Minor Case, Mr. Producer?

00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:33.659
Is it a bourbon? I'm not sure. I think it's a

00:13:33.659 --> 00:13:35.960
whiskey. I've never heard of Minor Case. Minor

00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.929
Case. I had heard of it because we were at the

00:13:39.929 --> 00:13:43.049
Limestone Distillery in Kentucky, and they had

00:13:43.049 --> 00:13:45.309
it there. And I think that's the only place you

00:13:45.309 --> 00:13:47.129
might be able to get it. I'm not 100 % sure on

00:13:47.129 --> 00:13:49.309
that. Oh, I like that flavor profile back there.

00:13:50.470 --> 00:13:53.110
Yeah, let's see here. Minor case, rye. It's definitely

00:13:53.110 --> 00:13:58.090
a rye. Hi, bourbon enthusiast. It's a rye whiskey.

00:13:58.350 --> 00:14:02.230
Yes, I'm over 21. To look at them. To read a

00:14:02.230 --> 00:14:06.559
review. Yeah, it's a rye whiskey. Yes. Okay,

00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:09.580
so it's not a bourbon. A rye whiskey. And it's

00:14:09.580 --> 00:14:11.279
a sherry... I love the glassware, though. It's

00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:13.899
pretty. Yeah, it's embossed. That's actually

00:14:13.899 --> 00:14:16.059
what... So when we went to the Lime Plum Distillery,

00:14:16.059 --> 00:14:18.860
my wife was like, I love that bottle. And it's

00:14:18.860 --> 00:14:22.799
even... It's got a white... I'm not sure that's

00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.039
the same bottle because this one has like a white...

00:14:26.769 --> 00:14:30.490
Yeah, they used like a roller ink when they made

00:14:30.490 --> 00:14:33.649
the standout wipe. Exactly. It was nice. And

00:14:33.649 --> 00:14:35.610
it looks really cool. Anyway, my wife loved the

00:14:35.610 --> 00:14:37.889
bottle and she asked the distillery if she could

00:14:37.889 --> 00:14:39.490
have an empty bottle of it. And they were like,

00:14:39.549 --> 00:14:41.169
yeah, don't tell anybody, but here's an empty

00:14:41.169 --> 00:14:43.509
bottle. And what are the odds that what I get

00:14:43.509 --> 00:14:46.409
at this bourbon exchange is a bottle that she

00:14:46.409 --> 00:14:48.710
knows about, cares about. And I'm like, I took

00:14:48.710 --> 00:14:50.190
a picture of it. I said, look what I got. She's

00:14:50.190 --> 00:14:53.509
like, no way. So it was kind of cool that. You

00:14:53.509 --> 00:14:55.450
got to go out for the night and you got like.

00:14:55.740 --> 00:14:58.679
A little wink nod. Nah, but she was like that.

00:14:58.720 --> 00:14:59.700
Paul got lucky that night. She was actually,

00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:02.940
wow, really? Yeah, she just poured minor case

00:15:02.940 --> 00:15:04.539
all over each other. She got a little stinky

00:15:04.539 --> 00:15:08.059
pinky. Oh, it was amazing. Oh, yes. Yeah, but

00:15:08.059 --> 00:15:12.820
it's kind of crazy how the universe works. Yes.

00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:15.299
I'm telling you, the odds of that are unbelievable.

00:15:15.340 --> 00:15:17.620
Yeah, see the white lettering? It's a really

00:15:17.620 --> 00:15:20.360
cool bottle. There you go. That's pretty cool.

00:15:21.350 --> 00:15:24.549
You have to let us know what it actually tastes

00:15:24.549 --> 00:15:27.809
like. I already coached him on this. I was like,

00:15:27.870 --> 00:15:30.809
no, no, no. Jeff and I are both contributing.

00:15:31.129 --> 00:15:34.730
I got this. Jeff and I are both contributing

00:15:34.730 --> 00:15:37.009
our bottle to the podcast. And as I tell you

00:15:37.009 --> 00:15:38.750
what, if you want, you bring it over, let us

00:15:38.750 --> 00:15:40.830
sample, and then take it back home. Yeah, no,

00:15:40.850 --> 00:15:44.210
no. I'm 100 % okay with... Well, see, I didn't

00:15:44.210 --> 00:15:46.470
go, even though I had a ticket. I did not go,

00:15:46.610 --> 00:15:49.549
but I brought my bottle. To share. And thank

00:15:49.549 --> 00:15:51.309
you. There you go. See, that's how this works.

00:15:51.789 --> 00:15:54.009
Mr. Producer, what did you win? We know you won

00:15:54.009 --> 00:15:56.309
the Eagle Rare. What did you exchange? I took

00:15:56.309 --> 00:15:58.990
home an Old Forrester 1920 Prohibition. Oh, that's

00:15:58.990 --> 00:16:00.629
right. That's right. That's a good one, too.

00:16:00.690 --> 00:16:02.409
That's not a bad one. Not a bad bottle at all.

00:16:03.090 --> 00:16:06.730
Overall, the night, did we miss anybody? No.

00:16:07.090 --> 00:16:08.669
Override the night was fantastic. Well, we didn't

00:16:08.669 --> 00:16:10.450
talk about what you got. Yeah. Well, we're going

00:16:10.450 --> 00:16:11.830
to drink it for the second half, so we'll talk

00:16:11.830 --> 00:16:12.610
about that later. Yes, we'll talk about that

00:16:12.610 --> 00:16:14.850
in the second half. Yeah. Highly recommend. If

00:16:14.850 --> 00:16:16.269
you ever have an opportunity to go to these type

00:16:16.269 --> 00:16:17.970
of events, I highly recommend it. It was really

00:16:17.970 --> 00:16:20.029
cool. Yeah. Big shout out to the Horseneck guys.

00:16:20.149 --> 00:16:21.970
Yeah. They did a really good job. I know this

00:16:21.970 --> 00:16:24.429
was, I think, their first or second one. And

00:16:24.429 --> 00:16:25.769
we got there a little early and they were still

00:16:25.769 --> 00:16:27.649
setting up, but they were very, very nice and

00:16:27.649 --> 00:16:29.470
accommodating to us. They were. Yeah. And they

00:16:29.470 --> 00:16:31.330
even had their cans, you know, their Horseneck

00:16:31.330 --> 00:16:34.169
cans that were refreshing. The cross juice and

00:16:34.169 --> 00:16:36.649
bourbon. Yes. Have you ever had those? RTDs?

00:16:36.710 --> 00:16:38.190
No. Yeah, RTDs. Yeah, they're ready to drink.

00:16:38.800 --> 00:16:41.320
I'm not a big ready -to -drink fan. There's always

00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:43.539
something about the ready -to -drink that doesn't

00:16:43.539 --> 00:16:48.000
appeal to me. Well, and that's fair. And these

00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:51.039
are, I think, of the category of ready -to -drink,

00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:54.740
these are at the top. Yeah, they may not be as

00:16:54.740 --> 00:16:56.600
bad as the other ones. They're made as real fruit

00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:59.320
juice, and they were very picky on what they

00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:01.600
put in them. It was a long process. The only

00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:04.839
thing is... that I noticed when, because I went

00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:07.160
over there, grabbed a couple cans and some glasses,

00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:08.900
and we were kind of like splitting them up in

00:17:08.900 --> 00:17:10.500
three, four, how many people were at the table.

00:17:10.740 --> 00:17:13.579
And I noticed you need it, not necessarily shake

00:17:13.579 --> 00:17:15.539
it, but you need to turn it upside down. And

00:17:15.539 --> 00:17:18.140
because it's real fruit juices, so it will develop

00:17:18.140 --> 00:17:20.240
layers after a while. And because I noticed the

00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:22.200
very last glass had a bunch of juice in it, so

00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:25.140
I grabbed it for myself. Very tasty, very fruity.

00:17:25.220 --> 00:17:30.490
Nice. Match my shirt. Nice. Wow. Your shirt was

00:17:30.490 --> 00:17:33.190
tasty and green. It was just fruity. Yeah, I

00:17:33.190 --> 00:17:35.089
had a very colorful shirt on. In retrospect,

00:17:35.289 --> 00:17:38.029
I saw it on video. I was like, what a fag. What

00:17:38.029 --> 00:17:41.130
is he wearing? Good Lord. What on earth was that?

00:17:41.329 --> 00:17:43.150
There's a picture of it. I'll find it. Thank

00:17:43.150 --> 00:17:45.369
you. Thank you, Jeff. She wants to see it. I

00:17:45.369 --> 00:17:47.930
do. I want to see it. It was quite colorful.

00:17:48.950 --> 00:17:52.809
Sure. I found it at Kohl's. It was on special.

00:17:53.509 --> 00:17:56.190
So when it's on special, you probably don't buy

00:17:56.190 --> 00:17:58.569
it. Yeah, that's probably a reason. Didn't some

00:17:58.569 --> 00:18:01.250
guy come up and say, what's that on your shirt?

00:18:01.309 --> 00:18:03.829
Brian. Oh, it was Brian. I like that shirt. Yeah,

00:18:03.829 --> 00:18:05.170
Brian Brickman. He was kind of like, oh, I just

00:18:05.170 --> 00:18:08.289
got lost in your shirt. Brian was a guest on

00:18:08.289 --> 00:18:10.349
our podcast. Yes, he was. Yes, he was. Shout

00:18:10.349 --> 00:18:13.230
out to Brian. He got lost in your shirt. Yeah,

00:18:13.470 --> 00:18:15.910
that's them right there. All right. Yes. I think

00:18:15.910 --> 00:18:17.769
the shirt looks great. Well, thank you. Yeah.

00:18:17.789 --> 00:18:20.190
Thank you. My wife kind of made fun of me. She

00:18:20.190 --> 00:18:22.289
was just like, yeah, you wore that and a black

00:18:22.289 --> 00:18:26.210
cowboy hat. Did you have on boots? Yes. Okay.

00:18:26.650 --> 00:18:29.750
So whatever, whatever. I had a great time. Assless

00:18:29.750 --> 00:18:33.569
chaps. I mean, I purposely drank a little bit

00:18:33.569 --> 00:18:37.130
more than I should because we're learning to

00:18:37.130 --> 00:18:39.250
have people pick us up and be a little bit more

00:18:39.250 --> 00:18:42.109
responsible, which is huge. And the fact that

00:18:42.109 --> 00:18:43.930
we weren't paying for any of it and we had a

00:18:43.930 --> 00:18:46.369
smorgasbord, it's like going to a freaking buffet,

00:18:46.529 --> 00:18:49.390
the best buffet ever. Yeah, it was pretty cool.

00:18:49.750 --> 00:18:51.750
Yeah, I enjoyed it. They had some dude over there

00:18:51.750 --> 00:18:55.319
with a little fire stick on. making the smoked

00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:59.420
drinks. I'm not a huge fan of that. I think mine

00:18:59.420 --> 00:19:02.000
got overly baked or something. It did. Man, it

00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:04.759
was hardcore bitter. It's a little too roasty

00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:06.859
and toasty. Yeah, I almost couldn't drink it.

00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:09.460
I did. Yeah, you're not a fan of the smoked stuff,

00:19:09.460 --> 00:19:11.339
but I don't like that. This was bitter. Yeah,

00:19:11.339 --> 00:19:14.039
he was making two old fashions, one for Jeff

00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:17.420
and I, and he did mine. He lit mine, and then

00:19:17.420 --> 00:19:20.200
maybe the perfect amount of smoke went into mine,

00:19:20.339 --> 00:19:23.740
and then he lit his, and it was like... It's

00:19:23.740 --> 00:19:27.039
like, literally, it's like you couldn't see above

00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:29.019
the bourbon in the top of the glass. It was completely

00:19:29.019 --> 00:19:32.259
opaque. It was smoke. I clearly remember that

00:19:32.259 --> 00:19:33.960
because I remember you guys walking over to the

00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:35.880
table and you set your drinks down on the table

00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:39.950
and I was like, oh. One, two. Yeah, it was just

00:19:39.950 --> 00:19:42.609
two. Yeah, it was just two. Even though there

00:19:42.609 --> 00:19:44.349
were three people there, we just got two of them,

00:19:44.390 --> 00:19:45.890
which is kind of strange. Maybe because they

00:19:45.890 --> 00:19:48.150
wouldn't serve you two. That's it. That's the

00:19:48.150 --> 00:19:50.769
answer. They wouldn't serve me two. I could only

00:19:50.769 --> 00:19:52.910
get one for myself. That's what I told him. I

00:19:52.910 --> 00:19:56.460
can only get two, dude. Oh, you're challenging.

00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:00.079
Let's go find the bartender. You know what? Shout

00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:01.319
out to the bartender. I don't know who he was,

00:20:01.339 --> 00:20:03.259
but he's a graduate now. He graduates in December

00:20:03.259 --> 00:20:06.019
at A &M. I love when people hit those milestones

00:20:06.019 --> 00:20:08.579
in life. It's exciting. It should be celebrated.

00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:12.880
Did y 'all tip him well? Ooh. We didn't tip him

00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:14.539
well, but there was no cash going across the

00:20:14.539 --> 00:20:17.160
board. There was no tip at all. There was no

00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:19.279
tip? Like, there's no tip dish? He didn't have

00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:22.700
anything? He didn't slide him a 20 and say, like,

00:20:22.700 --> 00:20:24.900
oh, great job. That would have been cool, but

00:20:24.900 --> 00:20:27.680
no. It would have been even more cool if perhaps

00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:29.519
he had a QR code or something that we could have

00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:31.420
said, hey, sell me some money. Here's my QR code.

00:20:31.579 --> 00:20:33.400
He probably wasn't allowed to for the event,

00:20:33.539 --> 00:20:34.859
so he was probably getting paid something else.

00:20:35.019 --> 00:20:36.680
I'm assuming the horse neck guys took care of

00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:37.980
him. Oh, yeah, I'm sure they did. I'm always

00:20:37.980 --> 00:20:41.960
sliding a 20. Yeah, that's the cool thing to

00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:45.000
do. Speaking of tips, I've been seeing some news

00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:49.930
that... There's some places out there that you

00:20:49.930 --> 00:20:55.769
have to tip that has a little note that says

00:20:55.769 --> 00:21:01.089
no tipping is not an option. Wow. And it starts

00:21:01.089 --> 00:21:05.910
at like 30, 35, and 40 % tip. It was a restaurant

00:21:05.910 --> 00:21:08.650
somewhere. And they showed another one where

00:21:08.650 --> 00:21:09.910
they actually, you know, because it's usually

00:21:09.910 --> 00:21:11.829
a touch screen, right, where it says no tip.

00:21:12.130 --> 00:21:14.549
Well, they had that covered up with tape so you

00:21:14.549 --> 00:21:18.140
couldn't hit it. Wow. I'm hitting the tape. I'm

00:21:18.140 --> 00:21:21.380
hitting custom. Yeah, exactly. If you're going

00:21:21.380 --> 00:21:25.099
to be that hardcore about it. So, I mean, you

00:21:25.099 --> 00:21:27.819
know, if that's going to be the case, then build

00:21:27.819 --> 00:21:29.980
it into your prices. Correct. You know, and then

00:21:29.980 --> 00:21:32.740
have them pay you behind the scenes and say,

00:21:32.819 --> 00:21:35.819
hey, look. Thank you. The minimum amount of tip

00:21:35.819 --> 00:21:38.619
is included in the price. And we've left a space

00:21:38.619 --> 00:21:41.059
here called a discretionary tip. If you feel

00:21:41.059 --> 00:21:43.740
that the server went above and beyond, add a

00:21:43.740 --> 00:21:46.019
discretionary tip. But the flip side of that,

00:21:46.099 --> 00:21:48.460
which we get a lot, is that some of these servers

00:21:48.460 --> 00:21:51.059
suck. Some of these servers have a bad day and

00:21:51.059 --> 00:21:54.319
they give bad service. And so why do I have to

00:21:54.319 --> 00:21:58.140
pay them whatever it is? And leave the place

00:21:58.140 --> 00:22:00.200
unhappy about it and never want to come back.

00:22:00.339 --> 00:22:02.279
Yeah. It's just like, you know, that's frustrating

00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:05.980
for me. And this particular one was a Thai food

00:22:05.980 --> 00:22:07.960
restaurant where the lady went and picked up

00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:10.799
the food herself. Okay. Yeah, so I have a rule.

00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:12.779
And they wanted the middle of 30%. Let's talk

00:22:12.779 --> 00:22:14.880
about that. What is the rule there? For me, if

00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:18.859
I have to stand in line, order my food, get up

00:22:18.859 --> 00:22:20.900
from my seat, and pick it up myself, there is

00:22:20.900 --> 00:22:24.220
no tip. I might leave a dollar in the container

00:22:24.220 --> 00:22:27.680
just out of courtesy. I don't think that if I'm

00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:29.759
doing everything, they're preparing my food and

00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:31.599
I'm already paying an exorbitant amount for the

00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:33.960
food. Right. I shouldn't have to tip people to

00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:36.859
do their job to serve it to me. Right. I agree

00:22:36.859 --> 00:22:38.599
with that. I couldn't tell you how many times

00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:41.099
I have picked up food in that scenario. And I'm

00:22:41.099 --> 00:22:44.140
looking at the board, you know, the little kiosk

00:22:44.140 --> 00:22:49.059
going. And so I panic and push 10%. And then

00:22:49.059 --> 00:22:52.440
I think to myself, why? Just pick zero. And why

00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:54.440
do I feel guilty about it? You know what I mean?

00:22:54.460 --> 00:22:57.339
I hate that I feel guilty about. doing no tip

00:22:57.339 --> 00:23:01.440
well i mean i think that if if i've gone into

00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:04.119
places where the bartender takes care of it and

00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:06.619
you order your during order your um your food

00:23:06.619 --> 00:23:08.319
and the bartender's in the back she's putting

00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:11.960
in in the bag i mean that's a hard job but it's

00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:14.119
still a job and they make sure everything's in

00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:16.980
there yeah a good example is olive garden Have

00:23:16.980 --> 00:23:18.559
you ever picked up food from Olive Garden? No.

00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:21.019
They have a station to the side and they're taking

00:23:21.019 --> 00:23:22.900
that shit seriously. They're like checking it

00:23:22.900 --> 00:23:24.759
and they're, you know, doing this and that and

00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:26.319
they're bringing out stuff from the, I mean,

00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:29.200
so they seem to do a little bit more. But I go

00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:32.500
order a pizza from somewhere and I pay. I'm picking

00:23:32.500 --> 00:23:36.099
it up. Yeah. I'm not tipping. Yeah. If you deliver

00:23:36.099 --> 00:23:37.819
it for me, then I'll give you a tip. Absolutely.

00:23:38.059 --> 00:23:40.900
What say you, Sean? Because you're the big tipper

00:23:40.900 --> 00:23:43.019
of the group, I think, or at least of the dudes

00:23:43.019 --> 00:23:45.420
like us. Well, I mean, I've worked for tips,

00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:49.079
so I'm sensitive to that. But I agree with Jeff.

00:23:49.180 --> 00:23:55.099
I agree with Jeff. I mean, part of it, I blame

00:23:55.099 --> 00:23:57.839
the employer. They shouldn't be putting their

00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:01.740
employees in a position where they require tips

00:24:01.740 --> 00:24:06.200
to compensate their hourly wage. Or you can clearly

00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:08.660
put on there the word discretionary. I think

00:24:08.660 --> 00:24:11.680
discretionary should be included on the tip line.

00:24:11.819 --> 00:24:14.819
And let them know, is this discretionary or is

00:24:14.819 --> 00:24:18.039
this considered mandatory? And if it's mandatory,

00:24:18.259 --> 00:24:21.559
then you need to have another come to Jesus moment

00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:24.160
with the manager. Hey, look, I'm not coming back

00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:28.700
because of this. I think it's wrong that you're

00:24:28.700 --> 00:24:31.700
mistreating your employees by forcing them. To

00:24:31.700 --> 00:24:34.420
have the customers tip them. Yeah, but what if

00:24:34.420 --> 00:24:36.799
it's a big chain? They don't control that kind

00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:38.059
of stuff. Yeah, but you know what? It's the point

00:24:38.059 --> 00:24:41.099
of sale system, right? Okay. And I'm not disagreeing

00:24:41.099 --> 00:24:43.619
with that, but you got to start somewhere. And

00:24:43.619 --> 00:24:46.440
there are life choices. So if you want that pizza,

00:24:46.599 --> 00:24:49.559
then you got to either pay the tip or go somewhere

00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:52.119
else to get your pizza. And I'm with Jeff. I'm

00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:55.349
not a huge fan of that. No tip on a pickup pizza

00:24:55.349 --> 00:24:57.529
stand. And I'm a big tipper. I'm a very generous

00:24:57.529 --> 00:25:02.349
tipper. There's certain situations that I just

00:25:02.349 --> 00:25:05.329
find that it's unnecessary and the tip culture

00:25:05.329 --> 00:25:07.750
is getting out of control, I think. I think you're

00:25:07.750 --> 00:25:09.990
right. It didn't used to be like this. And I

00:25:09.990 --> 00:25:13.859
think maybe it's the advent of these. iPads that

00:25:13.859 --> 00:25:15.680
go up there where they just turn it around and

00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:17.880
automatically there's a 2030. Absolutely. They

00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:20.099
just build that into the point of sale. It's

00:25:20.099 --> 00:25:22.640
there. Yeah, if you go to a barista at Starbucks

00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:25.039
and, hey, what do you want? I'd like a double,

00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:26.920
whatever. And they're like, oh, that'll be $18

00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:31.140
,000 .22. Yeah. And you want to add a 40 % tip?

00:25:31.380 --> 00:25:33.079
There you go. And you flip it over and they've

00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:35.779
got like, you know, freaking 15 people throwing

00:25:35.779 --> 00:25:37.259
shit around and all of a sudden you got your

00:25:37.259 --> 00:25:39.140
drinks. I don't know. Should you tip for that?

00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:41.160
No, they get paid well at Starbucks for what

00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:42.500
they do, I think. Okay, well, that's a good question.

00:25:42.809 --> 00:25:44.430
Do you, I mean, I don't go to Starbucks, so I

00:25:44.430 --> 00:25:46.329
don't know. People tip there. I do tip at Starbucks.

00:25:46.470 --> 00:25:48.029
At Starbucks. But you know, I just went to Jersey

00:25:48.029 --> 00:25:50.089
Mike's for the first time just recently. I walk

00:25:50.089 --> 00:25:52.650
in, I have no idea what I'm doing. So I look

00:25:52.650 --> 00:25:54.549
at the menu and I'm like, okay, what am I going

00:25:54.549 --> 00:25:57.009
to have? So I order a sandwich and then I think,

00:25:57.250 --> 00:25:59.230
well, I'll eat part of that sandwich tomorrow.

00:25:59.329 --> 00:26:01.650
So I'll just get the big one. The sandwich was

00:26:01.650 --> 00:26:04.630
$19. That's what I'm saying. And they were so

00:26:04.630 --> 00:26:08.190
rude to me because I paid in advance and I did

00:26:08.190 --> 00:26:11.700
not tip. I'm paying $19 for you to make me a

00:26:11.700 --> 00:26:14.700
sandwich. Like, that's your job. Right. Yeah,

00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:16.460
there's that. How do you know they were rude

00:26:16.460 --> 00:26:18.440
to you because you didn't tip? Are you assuming

00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:20.339
that? It was a sandwich, bitch. Pretty much.

00:26:20.539 --> 00:26:22.039
That's exactly what it felt like. I just kind

00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:23.859
of threw it. It was like a ball. Not a joke.

00:26:23.859 --> 00:26:26.019
Go long. Like, literally put it, wrapped it up,

00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:29.440
put it in the bag, and, like, slid it across

00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:32.720
the counter, like, flinging at me. Well, I think

00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:36.000
it's expected these days, and I... I dispute

00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:39.240
several scenarios. It's a culture that we need

00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:43.460
to get a grip on, especially now that Trump is

00:26:43.460 --> 00:26:46.019
potentially pushing this new beautiful deal going

00:26:46.019 --> 00:26:48.140
on where they're not going to be taxing tips,

00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:53.380
which, you know what, I'm for it and I'm against

00:26:53.380 --> 00:26:57.319
it. I think that they should not have taxed tips

00:26:57.319 --> 00:27:01.019
up to a certain amount. But with my experience,

00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:04.880
I know people, if you make over $50 ,000 a year

00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:08.000
on tips, I think that there needs to be a threshold.

00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:10.480
That anything over a certain amount, I'm not

00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:11.940
saying it needs to be $50 ,000, but anything

00:27:11.940 --> 00:27:14.259
over a certain amount, there needs to be applicable

00:27:14.259 --> 00:27:16.319
taxes. There's some of these restaurants out

00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:20.059
there, like I was at a Steak D. Lincoln, as a

00:27:20.059 --> 00:27:23.279
matter of fact. I know those waiters and waitresses

00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:27.039
make a good living off of tips. There's fine

00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:31.369
dining. restaurants, they do very well for themselves.

00:27:31.869 --> 00:27:35.509
I mean, just 20 % on some of those cabs is exorbitant.

00:27:35.569 --> 00:27:38.690
So I worked at the Four Seasons Resort, and there

00:27:38.690 --> 00:27:41.950
was the bartender that worked there forever in

00:27:41.950 --> 00:27:44.710
the sports club part with the members. He quit

00:27:44.710 --> 00:27:50.230
and got a job at the mansion at Turtle Creek,

00:27:50.390 --> 00:27:53.210
the really high -end one. That dude was making

00:27:53.210 --> 00:27:56.519
$120 ,000, $130 ,000 a year. And that was fucking

00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:02.019
25 years ago. Yeah. I was a beer wench is what

00:28:02.019 --> 00:28:05.440
they called them in Canada. Oh. I call them that

00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:07.500
here. You do? Yes. Yeah. So I was slinging beer

00:28:07.500 --> 00:28:11.980
in my early 20s. And I quit my job to go work

00:28:11.980 --> 00:28:15.460
a regular job with benefits. And at the time,

00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:19.039
so I'm not young. That was a very long time ago.

00:28:19.140 --> 00:28:24.420
I made $93 ,000 a year. As a beer wench? As a

00:28:24.420 --> 00:28:26.240
beer wench. How much is that in United States

00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:31.140
money? That's $4 .22. Exactly. And I went to

00:28:31.140 --> 00:28:33.619
work for, I don't know, like $28 ,000 a year

00:28:33.619 --> 00:28:36.279
so I could have benefits. What on earth? Don't

00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:38.160
you have socialized healthcare up there? Yeah.

00:28:39.460 --> 00:28:41.559
You want to get out of that though. She was a

00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:46.779
takeoff hoser. Yes. I didn't leave because of

00:28:46.779 --> 00:28:49.960
the taxes or socialized healthcare. I left for

00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:54.710
love. Oh. Can't put a price on that. You can

00:28:54.710 --> 00:28:59.450
when you get divorced. So word to the wise. Yeah,

00:28:59.490 --> 00:29:01.750
there's no money -back guarantee on that. There's

00:29:01.750 --> 00:29:04.650
none. Yeah. Well, cool. All right, so you mentioned

00:29:04.650 --> 00:29:08.630
the big, beautiful bill. So that just, I mean,

00:29:08.650 --> 00:29:11.089
you know. Well, PASA said it. Passed the Senate.

00:29:11.250 --> 00:29:13.549
Now it's got to go back to the House. Yes, and

00:29:13.549 --> 00:29:15.569
they have to combine the elements of the House

00:29:15.569 --> 00:29:17.549
version and the Senate version and figure out

00:29:17.549 --> 00:29:19.029
what they've got and how they're going to compromise.

00:29:19.569 --> 00:29:21.710
And there's kind of an ugly, ugly deal. What

00:29:21.710 --> 00:29:23.990
drives me nuts is you get all this stuff where,

00:29:24.069 --> 00:29:26.849
you know, you get these people threatening, like,

00:29:26.869 --> 00:29:29.009
Chip Roy, I'm never going to vote for this thing.

00:29:29.130 --> 00:29:30.829
Right. Right, I'm never going to do this. And,

00:29:30.829 --> 00:29:33.130
you know, and it's, well, if you don't pass it,

00:29:33.170 --> 00:29:35.950
you can't have everything that you want in one

00:29:35.950 --> 00:29:39.079
bill. Right. I know this is a big one. But you

00:29:39.079 --> 00:29:42.359
can't cut everything in one bill. There's a starting

00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:44.660
place. Now, according to Elon, this is adding

00:29:44.660 --> 00:29:47.259
to the debt. I don't know. I haven't read it.

00:29:47.299 --> 00:29:50.839
I read it's adding $5 trillion over I don't know

00:29:50.839 --> 00:29:53.180
how many years. Ten years, maybe. And I thought

00:29:53.180 --> 00:29:57.720
the goal of this was to help reduce, or at least

00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:00.019
Trump's administration was to reduce the debt,

00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:04.640
right? Because Doge, you know, whether we like

00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:07.079
it or not, it didn't cut that much. Right. In

00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:08.859
the grand scheme of things. It's not going to

00:30:08.859 --> 00:30:12.599
move the needle much. But is it $5 trillion in

00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:15.839
10 years? So that's $500 billion a year. I don't

00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:17.740
know what it's going to add. Is that what it

00:30:17.740 --> 00:30:20.039
is, $5 trillion? I heard $5 trillion. I don't

00:30:20.039 --> 00:30:22.559
know over how many years. But I guess if we go

00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:27.119
back, what is the budget, like the last budget

00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:30.279
got passed, how much did that add to the deficit?

00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:33.400
We're running trillion -dollar deficit with every

00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:36.190
budget. So this is half that. That is like a

00:30:36.190 --> 00:30:37.829
trillion every hundred days or something. Yeah,

00:30:37.930 --> 00:30:39.609
I thought it was with interest. It's added a

00:30:39.609 --> 00:30:40.670
trillion like every hundred days. Well, yeah,

00:30:40.670 --> 00:30:42.289
not counting the interest. I'm talking about

00:30:42.289 --> 00:30:45.309
the budget itself. Right. We spend a trillion

00:30:45.309 --> 00:30:49.690
more than we bring in. Yeah. Well, here's my

00:30:49.690 --> 00:30:54.089
thought on it. I am hoping that our Congress,

00:30:54.170 --> 00:30:57.930
our House, and our Senate are doing what's right.

00:30:58.329 --> 00:31:00.730
And I'm hoping that they're looking out for our

00:31:00.730 --> 00:31:02.589
best interest because, frankly, we don't know

00:31:02.589 --> 00:31:04.950
jack shit what's in that damn thing until it's

00:31:04.950 --> 00:31:07.369
published. And it's frustrating. Even then we

00:31:07.369 --> 00:31:09.490
don't know. Yeah, even then it's, what is it,

00:31:09.490 --> 00:31:13.970
obfuscation? It's just smoke. Yeah, it's ridiculous.

00:31:14.309 --> 00:31:17.450
It's 600 pages. We can chat GBT to analyze it.

00:31:17.609 --> 00:31:19.710
And they made him read it over the weekend, too.

00:31:19.750 --> 00:31:22.549
Yeah, Chuck Humor did that. Yeah. Yeah, they're

00:31:22.549 --> 00:31:25.589
playing all showmanship and just playing politics

00:31:25.589 --> 00:31:27.569
and all that kind of shit. So where are they

00:31:27.569 --> 00:31:29.869
at? I'd like the Audible version, please. Yeah,

00:31:29.869 --> 00:31:31.529
right? You got the audiobook? That'd be much

00:31:31.529 --> 00:31:33.849
better. But you know what? Can Sylvester Stallone

00:31:33.849 --> 00:31:35.549
read that? Three minutes into it, you'd be like,

00:31:35.650 --> 00:31:38.349
screw this. I guarantee it. It's probably the

00:31:38.349 --> 00:31:39.809
most boring read ever. Well, they've got to have

00:31:39.809 --> 00:31:41.710
an actor do different voices. Oh, there we go.

00:31:41.809 --> 00:31:43.789
Like in George Washington and Abe Lincoln. Oh,

00:31:43.789 --> 00:31:45.450
that'd be fun. Oh, that'd be great. Yes. Like

00:31:45.450 --> 00:31:47.410
the Founding Fathers read it, too. Four school

00:31:47.410 --> 00:31:53.799
and seven years ago. Did you burp or fart or

00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:56.779
what did you do on that one? I don't know. I

00:31:56.779 --> 00:32:00.000
had a little minute heart trip. Yes, I did. Blame

00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:02.299
it on the bourbon. It is. It's good bourbon.

00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:06.900
It is kind of tasty. It's opening up some. I'm

00:32:06.900 --> 00:32:09.900
not loving it, but it's better than my first

00:32:09.900 --> 00:32:16.980
sip. Yeah. Let's talk about it real quick. Oh.

00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:20.779
An early pull on this, okay? That's all right.

00:32:20.940 --> 00:32:23.880
So, Jackie, you want to go ahead and... Are we

00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:26.140
really? No, with our bourbon. Oh, I thought you

00:32:26.140 --> 00:32:27.640
meant with the... I was like, holy shit, that

00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:30.259
went by fast. I've got some left here. Not a

00:32:30.259 --> 00:32:33.420
lot. So, Jackie, walk us through why you got

00:32:33.420 --> 00:32:35.500
the bottle and why you brought it and what it

00:32:35.500 --> 00:32:41.299
is. So, it's 1792, aged 12 years. So, it sounds

00:32:41.299 --> 00:32:43.519
enticing, right? So, you see it on the shelf.

00:32:43.539 --> 00:32:46.160
It sounds good. I have the vertical. I really

00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:49.359
like the 1792 products. Probably my favorite

00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:52.579
is their, I really like their single barrels.

00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:57.400
I really like their bottle and bond. Chuck, what's

00:32:57.400 --> 00:32:59.619
your favorite from the 1792? You buy it all the

00:32:59.619 --> 00:33:01.619
time. The full proof. Full proof, yeah. Full

00:33:01.619 --> 00:33:03.700
proof. Full proof is excellent. And the single

00:33:03.700 --> 00:33:05.720
barrel is great. Yeah. It's excellent. The full

00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:07.740
proof is really, for me, this full proof is almost

00:33:07.740 --> 00:33:10.460
like a little too much. I don't know. It's like

00:33:10.460 --> 00:33:14.319
a peppery forward. It's got a bite. It's 125

00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:17.859
proof. It does. And I like a higher proof. This

00:33:17.859 --> 00:33:20.819
one is coming in a little bit lower and it tastes

00:33:20.819 --> 00:33:24.559
lower to me. So it doesn't have the, I like a

00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:27.359
little teeth. My sweet spot is really like 115.

00:33:27.980 --> 00:33:31.119
Yeah. So I like great flavor, like a great flavor

00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:34.220
profile. I like a little bit of heat. I wonder

00:33:34.220 --> 00:33:36.059
how we would compare this to Rebecca Creek's

00:33:36.059 --> 00:33:41.180
12 year. I don't know. I don't know. We don't

00:33:41.180 --> 00:33:43.250
have it anymore. No, we don't. But I mean, I'm

00:33:43.250 --> 00:33:45.349
just like, you know, 12 year, because 12 year

00:33:45.349 --> 00:33:49.190
you would think is a super rich, super thick,

00:33:49.309 --> 00:33:53.190
and it's got just, it's robust with this caramel

00:33:53.190 --> 00:33:56.829
and just popping. And I taste caramel, but it's

00:33:56.829 --> 00:34:00.009
almost like, you know, when you get to the end

00:34:00.009 --> 00:34:01.549
of something, you have that last little bite

00:34:01.549 --> 00:34:03.769
of caramel and it's not quite enough. Caramel

00:34:03.769 --> 00:34:07.450
white. Yeah, it tastes like sugar -free caramel.

00:34:07.589 --> 00:34:10.639
Right, exactly. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's surprising.

00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:13.800
I think all of us can agree that 12 -year, you

00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:16.400
would think it hits you with a lot. That is the

00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:19.760
word. And there's not a lot there. It's very

00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:22.840
light. Yeah, that is the word, light. It's just

00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:26.079
light. It has all the taste, and I'm not denying

00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:28.719
the taste isn't there, but it's not pronounced.

00:34:30.089 --> 00:34:31.789
I want to use the word pungent. It's watered

00:34:31.789 --> 00:34:34.849
down. It does taste watered down to me. I think

00:34:34.849 --> 00:34:36.590
that's what it is. I think they made the bottles

00:34:36.590 --> 00:34:39.869
before they juice. And the reason I bought it

00:34:39.869 --> 00:34:43.679
was, you know, I walk into... and it's sitting

00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:46.400
on the allocation shelf. So I'm thinking to myself.

00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:48.199
Yeah, you don't see this very often. No, not

00:34:48.199 --> 00:34:51.119
at all. So I have seen it on the secondary market

00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:55.019
a lot, and it's selling for $200 a bottle. Oh,

00:34:55.019 --> 00:34:58.519
wow. Holy shnikes. Can you imagine paying $200

00:34:58.519 --> 00:35:00.960
a bottle and pouring that? I would be disappointed.

00:35:00.980 --> 00:35:04.420
Very disappointed. Yeah. So in my mind, I was

00:35:04.420 --> 00:35:06.420
like, oh, that's a great one. That's one that

00:35:06.420 --> 00:35:09.360
probably people wouldn't take. And be excited

00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:13.190
about when they open it up. Yeah. You said that

00:35:13.190 --> 00:35:14.789
there weren't a lot of people that had a lot

00:35:14.789 --> 00:35:17.329
of bourbon experience, so I'm making the assumption

00:35:17.329 --> 00:35:20.510
that with a bourbon exchange that it's people

00:35:20.510 --> 00:35:23.289
that know a little bit about bourbon. It's something

00:35:23.289 --> 00:35:26.449
that you would want to gravitate towards. It

00:35:26.449 --> 00:35:31.090
falls a little flat for me. Again, I know we

00:35:31.090 --> 00:35:32.630
always say this when we shit on a bourbon. It's

00:35:32.630 --> 00:35:37.530
like, well, I mean, it's enjoyable. If I were

00:35:37.530 --> 00:35:39.010
to have the entire bottle sitting in front of

00:35:39.010 --> 00:35:45.360
me, it'd be gone. You're right. Because that's

00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:47.860
the kind of drink this is. Because it's one where

00:35:47.860 --> 00:35:51.679
you can pour it and it doesn't taste horrible

00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:56.440
and it's not that strong. 96 is crushable. If

00:35:56.440 --> 00:35:57.840
we had a full night of drinking nothing else,

00:35:57.940 --> 00:35:59.760
we would knock the bottle out. No question about

00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:02.920
it. And we'd have a good time doing it. I'm almost

00:36:02.920 --> 00:36:05.699
through mine. It was a pretty generous pour to

00:36:05.699 --> 00:36:08.179
begin with. I'm not complaining about drinking

00:36:08.179 --> 00:36:11.539
it. I'm just saying, For me, I wouldn't search

00:36:11.539 --> 00:36:13.460
it out, I wouldn't seek it out, and I probably

00:36:13.460 --> 00:36:16.179
wouldn't recommend it. It's all about expectations.

00:36:16.619 --> 00:36:21.099
Yeah, my expectations were high for this because

00:36:21.099 --> 00:36:23.219
I know some of the single barrels, the full proofs

00:36:23.219 --> 00:36:25.639
and bottom bonds are really good. I was expecting

00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:28.539
more out of this. Yep, I would agree. More. Maybe

00:36:28.539 --> 00:36:30.960
if it was at a higher proof, maybe that would

00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:33.460
help it, but I don't know. It's going to be interesting

00:36:33.460 --> 00:36:40.820
to rate this. I give it a two. 0 .1. True on

00:36:40.820 --> 00:36:44.659
a scale of what? Yeah, 0 .9 for Jackie. No. I

00:36:44.659 --> 00:36:46.920
mean, flavor. The only thing I liked about it

00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:48.719
was I thought it was beautiful in the glass,

00:36:48.739 --> 00:36:51.119
so it's nice and dark. Yeah, it had legs on it.

00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:54.179
It did. It has beautiful legs on it, so I was

00:36:54.179 --> 00:36:59.059
anticipating with that oily, that it would be

00:36:59.059 --> 00:37:01.039
really nice and it would kind of coat your mouth

00:37:01.039 --> 00:37:03.469
and that mouthfeel would be really nice. Not

00:37:03.469 --> 00:37:05.309
so much. All right. So for reference, the ones

00:37:05.309 --> 00:37:09.429
that we like the most are usually mid -high eights

00:37:09.429 --> 00:37:11.929
to low nines. Those are the best scores we've

00:37:11.929 --> 00:37:14.969
given on anything we've ever really tasted. Right.

00:37:15.070 --> 00:37:17.710
So something that is like, you know, it's not

00:37:17.710 --> 00:37:19.610
bad. I wouldn't kick out of bed, as Sean likes

00:37:19.610 --> 00:37:23.369
to say. Six, maybe. Things that drop below the

00:37:23.369 --> 00:37:26.090
five, you know, into the five range, we're like,

00:37:26.110 --> 00:37:28.710
man, wouldn't buy it again. I wouldn't buy it

00:37:28.710 --> 00:37:31.429
again. Right. So I'm going to go with a 5 .4

00:37:31.429 --> 00:37:33.610
on this one. Yeah, I'm going to be in the fives.

00:37:33.670 --> 00:37:35.710
It's slightly better than some of the others

00:37:35.710 --> 00:37:39.670
we've had out there. I think more of it is disappointment.

00:37:40.889 --> 00:37:43.369
Underwhelming. I was expecting more. I was expecting

00:37:43.369 --> 00:37:47.969
more performance wise. Yes. So. Yep. Would you

00:37:47.969 --> 00:37:52.110
say five, four? I'll match you right there. Yeah.

00:37:52.489 --> 00:37:54.769
That's me. Five, four. What'd you say, Jackie?

00:37:54.909 --> 00:37:57.389
Yeah, I'm going to say a five. Five even? Yeah.

00:37:57.789 --> 00:38:00.550
So I'm going to go a little bit higher. And the

00:38:00.550 --> 00:38:03.750
reason why. Is because it's a 96 proof. Now,

00:38:03.869 --> 00:38:06.550
if you compare it in the world of Michter's 10

00:38:06.550 --> 00:38:11.809
-year, which is also 95, 96 proof, and the Garrison

00:38:11.809 --> 00:38:15.570
Brothers, which is also 95 proof, it's nowhere

00:38:15.570 --> 00:38:18.130
near there. No. It's nowhere near there. But

00:38:18.130 --> 00:38:21.449
if this were a little bit thicker and concentrated

00:38:21.449 --> 00:38:25.510
with the same proof, I would see it being comparable.

00:38:25.650 --> 00:38:28.989
Because it's lighter. We had that old bar. Age

00:38:28.989 --> 00:38:32.429
12 years is what I read on the bottle. An Eagle

00:38:32.429 --> 00:38:35.989
Rare is 10 years, right? Yeah. Do you like it

00:38:35.989 --> 00:38:38.409
better than Eagle Rare? I love Eagle Rare. I

00:38:38.409 --> 00:38:40.769
would say I like this better than Eagle Rare.

00:38:40.909 --> 00:38:42.750
Okay. Well, you give Eagle Rare a five. Yeah.

00:38:43.070 --> 00:38:46.190
No, I was going to plant this at a six two. I

00:38:46.190 --> 00:38:47.690
was going to give it a six two. I don't want

00:38:47.690 --> 00:38:50.210
to give this six five, but I don't want to give

00:38:50.210 --> 00:38:52.730
it a five because I'm actually, I like this.

00:38:52.789 --> 00:38:56.539
I would pour it and I could drink this. Me, I'm

00:38:56.539 --> 00:38:58.420
drinking it because I want to get to the end

00:38:58.420 --> 00:39:00.519
of my glass so I can have something else. Right.

00:39:01.420 --> 00:39:04.179
I'm not one to pour anything out. I'm not a drain

00:39:04.179 --> 00:39:05.980
pour person or anything. I'm like, you know,

00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:09.159
everything has its merit. Let's say you're at

00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:11.079
a friend's house and they've got a bottle of

00:39:11.079 --> 00:39:15.019
1792 single barrel and 1792 12 year. I'm going

00:39:15.019 --> 00:39:18.260
the single barrel 10 out of 10 times. Yeah, absolutely.

00:39:18.619 --> 00:39:20.699
What about Williamsburg? Ooh, single barrel.

00:39:20.820 --> 00:39:22.659
Ooh, man, now you're bringing a tough, tough

00:39:22.659 --> 00:39:24.039
fight to the game here. It's called a coconut.

00:39:24.260 --> 00:39:27.900
Ooh, a lot of coconuts. Yes. No, Wolfsburg was

00:39:27.900 --> 00:39:30.539
one of our first, it was the patch of our first

00:39:30.539 --> 00:39:33.420
whiskeys that we were, we get in. It's back when

00:39:33.420 --> 00:39:35.019
we were buying shit whiskeys, and this one was

00:39:35.019 --> 00:39:37.239
a really shit whiskey, and they've never forgiven

00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:40.400
me for it. Did you think it was good? You read

00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:42.159
the notes on the Total Wine little thing. It's

00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:45.960
like, oh, this got coconut. I like coconut. That's

00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:48.019
what I'm buying. Paul had an unfortunate trend

00:39:48.019 --> 00:39:51.239
of picking things that, as a group, we didn't

00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:54.360
like. It happened to be all of them. It did.

00:39:54.440 --> 00:39:56.679
It was a trend. And it's a group thing, right?

00:39:56.679 --> 00:39:58.840
It's a hit or miss. We don't know. We don't know

00:39:58.840 --> 00:40:01.000
until it happens, but we sit there and we tell

00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:02.420
them, yeah, pass that bottle over here. Let's

00:40:02.420 --> 00:40:05.039
give ourselves a little bit more juice. Fuck,

00:40:05.059 --> 00:40:06.500
Jeff doesn't even know what day it is. He didn't

00:40:06.500 --> 00:40:08.440
even realize it was Tuesday until fucking...

00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:12.380
I know. He got the little message. Are you serious?

00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:14.300
You didn't know it was... No, I'm good. You didn't

00:40:14.300 --> 00:40:16.039
know it was podcast night? No, I knew it was.

00:40:16.159 --> 00:40:18.670
Oh, God. I feel like the producer should go get

00:40:18.670 --> 00:40:20.429
something else so I can drink something different.

00:40:20.449 --> 00:40:22.070
I'll go get something. I'm just a little bit

00:40:22.070 --> 00:40:25.929
more, I'm a little envious. That's all. All right.

00:40:26.150 --> 00:40:29.510
Yeah, underwhelming. Yes, I agree. And the worst

00:40:29.510 --> 00:40:31.869
part of it is I have like a hydration stick in

00:40:31.869 --> 00:40:35.010
my cup, so I can't even like swirl it out. Right.

00:40:35.369 --> 00:40:38.989
Well, maybe after eight glasses of this, I don't

00:40:38.989 --> 00:40:41.250
know, would it be better? I don't think so. I

00:40:41.250 --> 00:40:45.610
don't know, I'm on my 10th. That's an interesting

00:40:45.610 --> 00:40:47.690
hypothesis. We need to check that out. I think

00:40:47.690 --> 00:40:49.789
everything tastes better. Does it taste better

00:40:49.789 --> 00:40:51.469
at the bottom of the bottle than the top, maybe?

00:40:51.710 --> 00:40:54.730
Maybe. The 1792 aged 12 years bourbon is known

00:40:54.730 --> 00:40:57.429
for its rich and complex flavor profile, features

00:40:57.429 --> 00:40:59.630
notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak with a prominent

00:40:59.630 --> 00:41:01.510
rye and spice and hints of fruit, raspberry,

00:41:01.590 --> 00:41:04.809
or cherry. Stone fruit. There we go. The finish

00:41:04.809 --> 00:41:07.070
is often described as smooth with lingering flavors

00:41:07.070 --> 00:41:09.110
of spice and oak. Nothing lingering, though.

00:41:09.170 --> 00:41:11.610
Come on. And some reviews mention a balanced

00:41:11.610 --> 00:41:13.909
sweetness and dryness. I think that's... There

00:41:13.909 --> 00:41:15.929
is sweetness. You know, that's another thing

00:41:15.929 --> 00:41:18.670
there, the dryness. That is kind of an odd...

00:41:18.670 --> 00:41:22.519
I wouldn't say odd. It's kind of a... an unnormal

00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:24.000
thing that I would think. I guess it is not.

00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:27.300
It is atypical. Yeah. It absolutely is atypical

00:41:27.300 --> 00:41:29.840
for a finish to be dry. I wonder if the dryness

00:41:29.840 --> 00:41:32.019
comes from the age because I think the oak will

00:41:32.019 --> 00:41:34.559
lend itself as it releases more of those tannins

00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:37.280
and shit. It tastes bitter. Good point. The tannins

00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:39.960
suck the juice out of my mouth. Damn tannins.

00:41:40.280 --> 00:41:43.980
Yes. All right. Well, there you have it. A marginal

00:41:43.980 --> 00:41:47.280
review. It's unfortunate. We were very excited

00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:49.139
about this bottle. Yeah. But you know, again,

00:41:49.320 --> 00:41:52.059
you know. Would I buy it again? No. How much

00:41:52.059 --> 00:41:55.179
was it, by the way? $55. $55? Yeah, really reasonable.

00:41:55.639 --> 00:41:58.360
But again, on secondary, I'm seeing it for $200,

00:41:58.380 --> 00:42:01.619
so I'm thinking score, Jackie. By the way, I

00:42:01.619 --> 00:42:05.940
have your bottle of Smoke Eye Hill. Oh, I could

00:42:05.940 --> 00:42:08.980
have brought that, yeah. Oops. It's not like

00:42:08.980 --> 00:42:10.719
I won't see you guys again. Well, I mean, after

00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:13.159
the podcast, we can shoot over to the house,

00:42:13.239 --> 00:42:15.219
and I live like half a mile from here. Okay.

00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:20.449
Just swing by. Swing by. So, Paul, we talked

00:42:20.449 --> 00:42:22.090
about the big, beautiful build. Were we done

00:42:22.090 --> 00:42:24.110
with that? We were done with that. But there

00:42:24.110 --> 00:42:25.769
was another topic on the board that I'm curious

00:42:25.769 --> 00:42:29.250
about. You talked about Canada. Today is Canada

00:42:29.250 --> 00:42:32.369
Day. It is. What does that mean? It's, you know,

00:42:32.429 --> 00:42:34.690
like. It's not Independence Day for Canada. What's

00:42:34.690 --> 00:42:38.849
Canada Day? It's when Canada became a country.

00:42:38.989 --> 00:42:44.170
So, Ontario. What is Boxing Day? It's the day

00:42:44.170 --> 00:42:49.260
after Christmas. What? The 26th of December is

00:42:49.260 --> 00:42:51.599
Boxing Day. I can't remember the origin. Is that

00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:55.460
where they practice moving boxes? No, we just

00:42:55.460 --> 00:42:58.659
drink a lot. Boxing. What does that mean, boxing?

00:42:58.719 --> 00:43:01.500
Is that a phrase? I don't know. I don't know.

00:43:01.699 --> 00:43:04.500
Well, I know because I used to have folks that

00:43:04.500 --> 00:43:06.059
I worked with a lot up in Canada, and I used

00:43:06.059 --> 00:43:08.300
to cover Canada. Canada has a shit ton of holidays.

00:43:09.110 --> 00:43:11.289
They do. A lot of holidays. So when I moved to

00:43:11.289 --> 00:43:13.289
the United States, I remember when I first started

00:43:13.289 --> 00:43:15.309
working, I was like, good Lord, I can hardly

00:43:15.309 --> 00:43:17.190
wait for Easter weekend. They're like, Easter

00:43:17.190 --> 00:43:20.909
weekend? So we have Good Friday off and Easter

00:43:20.909 --> 00:43:23.670
Monday. So you get a four -day weekend. I wasn't

00:43:23.670 --> 00:43:26.369
anticipating having to work. You also have Family

00:43:26.369 --> 00:43:29.230
Day. The origin is mid -19th century from the

00:43:29.230 --> 00:43:33.389
custom of giving trade people a Christmas box.

00:43:33.840 --> 00:43:35.820
On this day. I'm really impressed that you can

00:43:35.820 --> 00:43:37.880
read from that far away. I'm squinting. I know.

00:43:38.300 --> 00:43:40.480
And I have a headache, a migraine now. Filled

00:43:40.480 --> 00:43:42.820
with leftovers. So basically the food they don't

00:43:42.820 --> 00:43:45.360
want. Is that what it said? Leftovers? It is.

00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:48.179
And you eat and drink. So you go, it's kind of

00:43:48.179 --> 00:43:50.059
the levy is what they call it. So you go from

00:43:50.059 --> 00:43:52.969
place to place and people just have. You know,

00:43:52.989 --> 00:43:56.150
food and drink. Well, it's the weekend after

00:43:56.150 --> 00:43:58.250
Christmas, so you could imagine Christmas dinner.

00:43:58.309 --> 00:44:00.269
You've got lots of leftovers. Why let them go

00:44:00.269 --> 00:44:01.730
to waste? Yeah, but look at this description.

00:44:01.789 --> 00:44:03.969
It's even worse. The lords and aristocrats would

00:44:03.969 --> 00:44:06.650
give their servants Christmas boxes filled with

00:44:06.650 --> 00:44:09.250
leftovers. You know what? We're done eating this

00:44:09.250 --> 00:44:12.070
shit, so you can eat it now. Get out of here.

00:44:12.309 --> 00:44:17.409
Bang, bang. So Canada Day. Yeah, let's go back

00:44:17.409 --> 00:44:22.530
to Canada Day. July the 1st. Wow. So I'm going

00:44:22.530 --> 00:44:26.409
to list off a bunch of Canadian celebrities real

00:44:26.409 --> 00:44:27.889
quick. I'm just going to wrap right along. There's

00:44:27.889 --> 00:44:30.670
a lot of great ones. It kind of surprised me.

00:44:30.670 --> 00:44:32.909
Some I didn't expect. Keanu Reeves, Seth Rogen,

00:44:32.969 --> 00:44:35.489
Pamela Anderson, Drake, Ryan Gosling, Ryan Reynolds,

00:44:35.750 --> 00:44:39.710
Michael J. Fox, Sandra Oh, Mike Myers, Jim Carrey,

00:44:39.789 --> 00:44:43.210
Celine Dion, Michael Cera, Justin Bieber, Avril

00:44:43.210 --> 00:44:46.099
Lavigne, Dwayne Johnson. Yeah. Did you know that?

00:44:46.219 --> 00:44:48.260
No. The Rock? The Rock. Yeah, I did not know

00:44:48.260 --> 00:44:50.639
that. He's a Kanuki. Alanis Morissette, Keith

00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:54.300
Sutherland, Michael Buble, Matt Perry, Kim Cattrall,

00:44:54.619 --> 00:44:57.940
Rachel McAdams, Dan Aykroyd, Neil Young. And

00:44:57.940 --> 00:45:00.719
Jackie Mack. Rachel McAdams. And Jackie Mack.

00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:02.599
Oh, you like Rachel McAdams. I like Rachel McAdams.

00:45:02.659 --> 00:45:05.340
Bob and Doug McKenzie. Bob and Doug McKenzie.

00:45:06.539 --> 00:45:13.360
Tommy Chung. Tommy Chung. From Cheech and Chong.

00:45:13.849 --> 00:45:16.750
You said Canuck. They're Canucks. Yeah. What

00:45:16.750 --> 00:45:18.949
is a Canuck? That's what we call them, Canucks.

00:45:18.949 --> 00:45:20.889
I know, and I know that's a hockey team. What

00:45:20.889 --> 00:45:24.050
does the word Canuck mean? This is turning into

00:45:24.050 --> 00:45:26.210
an interesting thing. Mr. Producer, I know. It's

00:45:26.210 --> 00:45:27.949
quite interesting. We're challenging your Canadian

00:45:27.949 --> 00:45:31.469
knowledge. It's a pizza. As well, Jackie. Well,

00:45:31.630 --> 00:45:34.690
you know, my Canadian knowledge. Yeah, we'll

00:45:34.690 --> 00:45:37.909
see how this goes. Let me drink some more. I

00:45:37.909 --> 00:45:40.610
think it's kind of like, what is a Sooner? Right.

00:45:41.480 --> 00:45:44.099
It's a... Someone that shows up early. They were

00:45:44.099 --> 00:45:46.940
a pioneer, right? Oklahoma Sooner. What is a

00:45:46.940 --> 00:45:49.079
Sooner? They were a pioneer that was conquering

00:45:49.079 --> 00:45:51.679
the West back in the 1800s. Nah, it's someone

00:45:51.679 --> 00:45:54.820
that shows up sooner than later. Oh, no. I don't

00:45:54.820 --> 00:45:56.179
think you're going to lose. Maybe you finish

00:45:56.179 --> 00:45:59.840
sooner than later. So a Canuck is a slang for...

00:45:59.840 --> 00:46:01.760
Can you scroll up again? Did you say finish?

00:46:02.019 --> 00:46:05.579
I did. Down right there. Slamming on the bourbon.

00:46:05.920 --> 00:46:09.610
Slang term for a Canadian, though it's... Semantic

00:46:09.610 --> 00:46:14.809
nuances are manifold? Yeah. Okay. Wikipedia wants

00:46:14.809 --> 00:46:17.710
to slap you over the head with the big words.

00:46:17.909 --> 00:46:21.269
Yeah, apparently. So it's based on this character,

00:46:21.610 --> 00:46:24.690
Johnny Canuck, a wartime comic book character.

00:46:25.170 --> 00:46:31.679
And ever since then, Canuck's in a book. I feel

00:46:31.679 --> 00:46:33.420
like I need to know that. I'm going to commit

00:46:33.420 --> 00:46:36.039
that to memory. There you go. So the Canucks

00:46:36.039 --> 00:46:39.500
have an animal. Do you know what that animal

00:46:39.500 --> 00:46:42.940
is? It's a beaver. Nice beaver. Yeah, sort of.

00:46:42.940 --> 00:46:47.840
It's an anthropomorphic orca. Oh, of course.

00:46:48.059 --> 00:46:54.320
A whale. So basically a walking whale. I don't

00:46:54.320 --> 00:46:59.420
understand that at all. Anthropomorphic. Well,

00:46:59.460 --> 00:47:02.920
that looks like a huge peen or something. Did

00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:05.480
you say peen? Peen. You said peen. Jeff's cut

00:47:05.480 --> 00:47:09.670
off. No more? No more. These are the words moist.

00:47:09.730 --> 00:47:12.369
Canadian slang. What is it? Yeah. You don't like

00:47:12.369 --> 00:47:15.250
that word? Moist. So anyway, today is July the

00:47:15.250 --> 00:47:17.829
1st, and it is - Canada Day. Yeah, Canada Day.

00:47:18.090 --> 00:47:19.969
I don't feel like we're any more knowledgeable

00:47:19.969 --> 00:47:21.989
than we were five minutes ago. I don't feel like

00:47:21.989 --> 00:47:23.849
that either, but it's okay. That's okay. We gave

00:47:23.849 --> 00:47:26.130
it a shot. Right. So you'll remember July the

00:47:26.130 --> 00:47:28.130
1st. It's right there. It commemorates the anniversary

00:47:28.130 --> 00:47:31.550
of the British North American Act, which united

00:47:31.550 --> 00:47:34.170
three British colonies, Canada, Nova Scotia,

00:47:34.250 --> 00:47:36.900
and the New Brunswick. Nova Scotia. Into a single

00:47:36.900 --> 00:47:41.619
dominion called Canada. Dominion. In 1867. Used

00:47:41.619 --> 00:47:44.480
to be called it Dominion Day. Yeah, Canada Day

00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:46.260
sounds a little bit better, but Dominion Day.

00:47:46.519 --> 00:47:48.420
Yeah, that sounds kind of socialist. It was renamed

00:47:48.420 --> 00:47:50.980
Canada Day in 1982. All right, well, there we

00:47:50.980 --> 00:47:54.559
go. Pull up all Canadian holidays. Oh, I want

00:47:54.559 --> 00:47:55.920
to see these. I used to have a list. We're going

00:47:55.920 --> 00:47:58.480
to be scrolling for days. It's Canadian Day.

00:47:58.619 --> 00:48:00.820
What do they do when they celebrate for Canada?

00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:03.900
The same thing you do on July the 4th. You barbecue

00:48:03.900 --> 00:48:06.619
and you fireworks. What is it that they're celebrating?

00:48:08.099 --> 00:48:10.659
Independence? Yes. Because that's not happening

00:48:10.659 --> 00:48:13.940
anymore. Yeah, they're becoming the 51st state,

00:48:14.019 --> 00:48:16.320
aren't they? Listen, don't say that out loud.

00:48:16.380 --> 00:48:19.400
My family's going to listen to this. But seriously,

00:48:19.679 --> 00:48:22.260
Canada's got some hardships going on. They do.

00:48:23.530 --> 00:48:25.889
So you got some standard ones in there. New Year's,

00:48:25.889 --> 00:48:28.130
and you get Good Friday, Easter Monday, Victoria

00:48:28.130 --> 00:48:31.469
Day, St. John Baptiste Day. Is that like Victoria's

00:48:31.469 --> 00:48:34.489
Secret Day? Canada Day, Civic Holiday, Labor

00:48:34.489 --> 00:48:37.070
Day, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

00:48:37.070 --> 00:48:41.329
That sounds ridiculous. Thanksgiving Day, Remembrance

00:48:41.329 --> 00:48:43.389
Day, Christmas Day, and Box Day. And the civic

00:48:43.389 --> 00:48:46.889
holiday is Arbor Day, so it's a military day.

00:48:46.929 --> 00:48:49.550
So those are all days you get off in Canada.

00:48:49.710 --> 00:48:51.570
Yeah. What do you look at the U .S. list? I've

00:48:51.570 --> 00:48:53.269
never seen the national day. It's like four.

00:48:53.989 --> 00:48:57.630
It is not. It's like five. Yeah, it's like half,

00:48:57.670 --> 00:49:02.010
not even half that. Yes. New Year's Day. And

00:49:02.010 --> 00:49:04.550
then you skip President's Day and all those because

00:49:04.550 --> 00:49:06.389
most people don't get those. So you get Memorial

00:49:06.389 --> 00:49:10.400
Day. Then you got July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving,

00:49:10.780 --> 00:49:15.360
Christmas. Yeah, that's it. Man, we suck. What's

00:49:15.360 --> 00:49:17.780
the story behind Canada Dry, the soft drink?

00:49:18.019 --> 00:49:25.119
Oh, boy. That's not random. It's delicious. I

00:49:25.119 --> 00:49:27.679
mean, a lot of people drink Canadian dry. It's

00:49:27.679 --> 00:49:29.840
ginger ale. It's not really bacon. It's ham.

00:49:31.449 --> 00:49:34.329
Ham. And let me tell you something. I just want

00:49:34.329 --> 00:49:36.869
to straighten things up here about Canadian bacon.

00:49:37.869 --> 00:49:40.949
Only Americans call it freaking Canadian bacon.

00:49:41.130 --> 00:49:43.829
We eat the same bacon that you eat. We don't

00:49:43.829 --> 00:49:46.630
eat a round of bacon. Yeah. Do you call it American

00:49:46.630 --> 00:49:51.170
bacon? We do. No. No, bacon is bacon. I didn't

00:49:51.170 --> 00:49:52.849
find out about Canadian bacon until I moved here.

00:49:52.849 --> 00:49:54.570
Hold on. There is definitely a difference between

00:49:54.570 --> 00:49:56.489
Canadian bacon and normal bacon. Yeah, it's kind

00:49:56.489 --> 00:49:59.239
of hammy. I'm actually making some downstairs.

00:49:59.559 --> 00:50:02.199
I know, you mentioned that. You're making some

00:50:02.199 --> 00:50:04.940
Canadian bacon? He's like the meatologist. I

00:50:04.940 --> 00:50:07.639
tell you what, if there's like a zombie apocalypse,

00:50:08.380 --> 00:50:11.380
Jeff is going to be our chef. Good, so that means

00:50:11.380 --> 00:50:16.420
my radio needs to be on his channel. Hey, well

00:50:16.420 --> 00:50:18.739
I'm about to buy it. I'm about to buy it. We're

00:50:18.739 --> 00:50:20.280
going to have challenges. A ham radio? You're

00:50:20.280 --> 00:50:22.099
going to get a ham radio? We are. A Canadian

00:50:22.099 --> 00:50:24.340
bacon radio. I'm getting two types of radios.

00:50:24.340 --> 00:50:26.440
I'm getting a ham radio, and I'm also getting

00:50:26.440 --> 00:50:29.000
a high -frequency radio. I'm getting a four -pack.

00:50:30.699 --> 00:50:35.159
Here's the problem. In a post -apocalyptic zombie

00:50:35.159 --> 00:50:37.420
-type world, we have to assume there's no power.

00:50:38.699 --> 00:50:41.139
Well, okay, let's take it another step. How are

00:50:41.139 --> 00:50:42.940
we going to communicate with two radios? Okay.

00:50:43.929 --> 00:50:46.429
Two -way radio. So listen. Fire. I'm not saying

00:50:46.429 --> 00:50:49.369
necessarily that fire. Smoke signals. Smoke signals.

00:50:50.010 --> 00:50:52.389
But I'm saying more like, let's say the cell

00:50:52.389 --> 00:50:55.590
phone towers go down. Okay. Then the two -way

00:50:55.590 --> 00:50:57.510
radios would work. So I was doing some research

00:50:57.510 --> 00:51:00.469
because prior to coming to the podcast, we were

00:51:00.469 --> 00:51:01.769
talking about, I don't even know what the fuck

00:51:01.769 --> 00:51:03.730
we got on there. But I was like, well, which

00:51:03.730 --> 00:51:06.710
one's better? Is it the UHF, the VHF? And then

00:51:06.710 --> 00:51:09.570
there was an HF, a high -frequency one. And so

00:51:09.570 --> 00:51:12.150
it turns out the high -frequency ones go the

00:51:12.150 --> 00:51:16.579
furthest. They're not fantastical for close -up.

00:51:17.280 --> 00:51:20.639
They work. How far do they typically go? They're

00:51:20.639 --> 00:51:23.119
the farthest, so I don't know. Can you say 1

00:51:23.119 --> 00:51:26.900
,000 miles is what the advertisement says? Ham

00:51:26.900 --> 00:51:32.519
radios do. So there is a SIM card that you can

00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:35.000
put in some of these high frequencies. That's

00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:37.380
a cell tower. It will jump off the cell towers

00:51:37.380 --> 00:51:40.179
to enhance it, but just as the high -frequency

00:51:40.179 --> 00:51:44.199
ones, they'll go 100 miles. You know, the regular

00:51:44.199 --> 00:51:48.519
VHF ones will go about 38, 40 miles. And you

00:51:48.519 --> 00:51:51.039
can pick those up at Home Depot. Yeah. What's

00:51:51.039 --> 00:51:52.980
the CB radios? The whole breaker, breaker, one,

00:51:53.079 --> 00:51:54.519
nine, breaker, breaker. That's essentially a

00:51:54.519 --> 00:51:56.719
ham radio because you've got the tall antenna.

00:51:57.059 --> 00:51:59.119
You know, that's the spirit behind that. I'm

00:51:59.119 --> 00:52:00.940
kind of. You're going to have the tall antenna

00:52:00.940 --> 00:52:04.780
on your car. Hey, look, if that's what's going

00:52:04.780 --> 00:52:06.699
to make it. You're going to have your call sign.

00:52:06.940 --> 00:52:09.280
Oh, dude, when I get my battery -powered trike,

00:52:09.280 --> 00:52:11.039
I'm going to have that antenna on the back. I'll

00:52:11.039 --> 00:52:12.559
have a little flag on it, you know, a little

00:52:12.559 --> 00:52:16.420
CB radio. Hey, Paul, I'm on my way. I'm going

00:52:16.420 --> 00:52:18.960
to go pick up Chuck. I'm just going to drink

00:52:18.960 --> 00:52:21.980
bourbon. Well, they sell now. I hear the commercials

00:52:21.980 --> 00:52:25.179
for them. They sell, instead of cell phones,

00:52:25.420 --> 00:52:29.960
they're these almost like walkie -talkies. Probably

00:52:29.960 --> 00:52:31.679
what you're talking about. I've heard commercials

00:52:31.679 --> 00:52:33.699
for them. Yeah, they're 5G. They're a couple

00:52:33.699 --> 00:52:35.480
hundred bucks a pop. They used to have that already.

00:52:35.579 --> 00:52:39.760
It was Nextel. Nextel had the push to talk. Okay,

00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:46.139
how did it go? Just like that. Jeff, are you

00:52:46.139 --> 00:52:48.300
there? Jeff, are you there? What tribe is that?

00:52:48.500 --> 00:52:51.920
I remember that. John, are you picking me up?

00:52:52.400 --> 00:52:56.380
I don't think it sounded anything like that.

00:52:56.440 --> 00:52:58.960
Very close, though. I feel like it did. I didn't.

00:52:59.130 --> 00:53:02.210
I'm pretty sure it did. I've got some memories

00:53:02.210 --> 00:53:04.610
for that. Look, you never know what's going to

00:53:04.610 --> 00:53:07.889
happen. I mean, we had, in 2020, we had, for

00:53:07.889 --> 00:53:11.250
me, in this general area, we had the power, except

00:53:11.250 --> 00:53:13.550
for fucking Jeff's house. That was perfectly

00:53:13.550 --> 00:53:17.349
fine. Same. Fucking asshole. But, you know, I

00:53:17.349 --> 00:53:18.969
had power out for like three or four days, five

00:53:18.969 --> 00:53:22.099
days even, you know, and that sucked. That year

00:53:22.099 --> 00:53:25.900
I decided, just before Snowmageddon, I decided

00:53:25.900 --> 00:53:28.420
that I was going to buy, I was going to use my

00:53:28.420 --> 00:53:30.820
fireplace for the first time ever. And I bought

00:53:30.820 --> 00:53:33.420
a cord of wood. What are the odds? And then a

00:53:33.420 --> 00:53:35.960
week later, we have Snowmageddon. It saved your

00:53:35.960 --> 00:53:38.800
life. It saved my life. So my question is, how

00:53:38.800 --> 00:53:41.739
would you use those radios with your power out

00:53:41.739 --> 00:53:46.480
on Snowmageddon? Hey, it sucks, man. Well, first

00:53:46.480 --> 00:53:50.300
you have to, you probably. Hey, Jeff, do you

00:53:50.300 --> 00:53:53.699
have any more of that whiskey? That's what I

00:53:53.699 --> 00:53:57.500
mean. At least I know what I'm listening for.

00:53:57.500 --> 00:53:59.099
I'm heading over to Chuck's house. I think he's

00:53:59.099 --> 00:54:05.460
got some. At least it wouldn't be. It'd be better

00:54:05.460 --> 00:54:08.820
than that. I guarantee it. Well, my point is,

00:54:08.840 --> 00:54:12.260
how many people have them out there? Just a few

00:54:12.260 --> 00:54:15.690
of us. There is a community of people. I know

00:54:15.690 --> 00:54:19.190
there are. I know there are. And so I bought

00:54:19.190 --> 00:54:21.530
mine a long time ago. And literally yesterday,

00:54:21.710 --> 00:54:24.750
I watched some TikTok video. A two -way radio.

00:54:24.889 --> 00:54:28.570
You bought one. I did. I bought one in 2020.

00:54:29.170 --> 00:54:31.150
And who are you talking to on this thing? I'm

00:54:31.150 --> 00:54:32.550
not talking to anybody. I'm just going to be

00:54:32.550 --> 00:54:35.650
prepared. Some person in Canada. That's what

00:54:35.650 --> 00:54:37.989
I mean. Okay, we're prepared. But when that time

00:54:37.989 --> 00:54:40.130
comes. No, I'm going to get. What's going to

00:54:40.130 --> 00:54:41.510
happen? I just plugged mine in. Hey, anybody

00:54:41.510 --> 00:54:43.969
out there? To charge it. Yes, that's exactly

00:54:43.969 --> 00:54:46.190
it. It's anybody out there. You have not watched

00:54:46.190 --> 00:54:48.210
The Handmaid's Tale. Anybody out there. Yes.

00:54:48.230 --> 00:54:50.170
If you watch The Handmaid's Tale, then you would

00:54:50.170 --> 00:54:53.369
buy yourself a radio because you're going to

00:54:53.369 --> 00:54:55.550
need to communicate somehow. That's true. You

00:54:55.550 --> 00:54:57.449
know what? I think it's important. I mean, look,

00:54:57.530 --> 00:54:58.929
if your power's going to be out and if it's a

00:54:58.929 --> 00:55:00.489
temporary thing, let's say it's out for two,

00:55:00.530 --> 00:55:02.230
three days. Hey, man, look, I need you to go

00:55:02.230 --> 00:55:03.789
to the store. All right, well, there's fucking

00:55:03.789 --> 00:55:05.869
weird shit going on. Take the radio with you.

00:55:05.889 --> 00:55:08.730
If something happens, I want to know. Yeah, I

00:55:08.730 --> 00:55:11.510
think it's a good idea. I just think the network

00:55:11.510 --> 00:55:14.050
of it, how many folks actually have them, I think

00:55:14.050 --> 00:55:16.309
could hold it back. I mean, you're going to have

00:55:16.309 --> 00:55:17.869
some folks that are having it, but it's not like

00:55:17.869 --> 00:55:20.929
everybody has a cell phone. I just want mine

00:55:20.929 --> 00:55:22.730
to work. Well, they won't be working. Well, I

00:55:22.730 --> 00:55:24.190
know, but who are you going to talk to is my

00:55:24.190 --> 00:55:27.949
point. All the same. Your housemates? Yeah, your

00:55:27.949 --> 00:55:30.170
housemates. Well, the ham radio is different

00:55:30.170 --> 00:55:33.989
than the long -range, high -frequency ones. Those

00:55:33.989 --> 00:55:36.449
are, you can buy a two -pack, four -pack, et

00:55:36.449 --> 00:55:38.320
cetera. That's for your family. If you go camping,

00:55:38.400 --> 00:55:40.480
hiking, or something, that's what I'm referring

00:55:40.480 --> 00:55:41.920
to. Yeah, we have the walkie -talkies up at the

00:55:41.920 --> 00:55:44.300
cabin. Okay, okay. And those have a two -mile

00:55:44.300 --> 00:55:46.519
radius. Yeah, and those are good. That'll help

00:55:46.519 --> 00:55:48.619
you go wherever you want. And they go around

00:55:48.619 --> 00:55:52.260
obstacles. It really depends. I mean, just for

00:55:52.260 --> 00:55:54.480
the short amount of time I spent researching

00:55:54.480 --> 00:55:56.300
it, I mean, I figured out the high -frequency

00:55:56.300 --> 00:55:58.360
ones, and they cost a little bit more, three

00:55:58.360 --> 00:56:01.000
times the amount. Yeah, those little walkie -talkies,

00:56:01.000 --> 00:56:02.719
they last forever. Up at the cabin, you're like,

00:56:02.820 --> 00:56:04.579
we'll be sitting in the cabin, and then somebody

00:56:04.579 --> 00:56:06.599
will be walking around, and you'll be like. Hey,

00:56:06.599 --> 00:56:09.239
this is Paul. What are you guys doing? We're

00:56:09.239 --> 00:56:12.179
walking around. What are you doing? We're sitting

00:56:12.179 --> 00:56:15.400
in the cabin. You're still walking around? Yeah.

00:56:16.280 --> 00:56:17.559
What are you doing? Still sitting in the cabin.

00:56:18.260 --> 00:56:20.079
Do you have a bottle of oxygen? They're really,

00:56:20.139 --> 00:56:24.059
really, really handy. I know, but we have not

00:56:24.059 --> 00:56:26.920
had, like, really, the world shut down. Yeah,

00:56:26.940 --> 00:56:29.500
but until you fall in a little ravine or something,

00:56:29.639 --> 00:56:34.230
and you need it. Radio goes flying. Yeah. I broke

00:56:34.230 --> 00:56:36.929
my leg. I broke my leg. Is anybody out there?

00:56:37.110 --> 00:56:39.809
And the thing's still up at the top. Is anybody

00:56:39.809 --> 00:56:41.230
out there? There's a bone sticking out of my

00:56:41.230 --> 00:56:42.789
leg. Is anybody out there? As long as you have

00:56:42.789 --> 00:56:44.730
your Rambo knife, you can cut your bone leg off.

00:56:44.750 --> 00:56:46.710
It doesn't have a GPS. I have a Rambo knife,

00:56:46.769 --> 00:56:48.710
too. Does anybody else have a two -way radio?

00:56:48.829 --> 00:56:50.590
I have a bone sticking out of my leg. Over. Well,

00:56:50.610 --> 00:56:52.869
where are you at? I'm in Colorado. Oh, I'm in

00:56:52.869 --> 00:56:54.570
New Orleans. I'm in New Hampshire. What's the

00:56:54.570 --> 00:56:58.119
weather like there? Yeah, I don't see this being

00:56:58.119 --> 00:57:00.039
practical, guys. I really don't. It's not about

00:57:00.039 --> 00:57:03.139
practicality. When I have my radio and Sean and

00:57:03.139 --> 00:57:05.659
I are talking and y 'all are left in the dark.

00:57:05.719 --> 00:57:09.360
The emergency systems, broadcasting systems out

00:57:09.360 --> 00:57:12.300
there, they have towers specifically for these

00:57:12.300 --> 00:57:15.119
things. So if you have it with you, then you

00:57:15.119 --> 00:57:17.679
know what you need it. I don't know. I recommend

00:57:17.679 --> 00:57:19.619
you get it. I don't have one yet. It's not the

00:57:19.619 --> 00:57:21.400
dumbest idea for sure. Yeah, I think they'd be

00:57:21.400 --> 00:57:23.440
really good if you do a lot of camping and hiking.

00:57:24.259 --> 00:57:25.900
Especially with your family and shit like that.

00:57:25.960 --> 00:57:27.679
I know I've seen some people, if you go to these

00:57:27.679 --> 00:57:29.760
amusement parks, like Disney World, they'll split

00:57:29.760 --> 00:57:31.179
up and they'll have these little walkie -talkies.

00:57:31.179 --> 00:57:34.360
Oh, yeah. We used them on the cruise. Do you

00:57:34.360 --> 00:57:36.900
remember 30 years ago, 35 years ago, when before

00:57:36.900 --> 00:57:39.320
everyone had phones? I mean, that's what we did.

00:57:39.579 --> 00:57:44.039
I mean, on a road trip, we'd have three or four

00:57:44.039 --> 00:57:46.360
cars lined up. We had walkie -talkies. It was

00:57:46.360 --> 00:57:49.460
the best thing ever. We had the solo cups with

00:57:49.460 --> 00:57:52.159
the string. Right. It gets to go the same speed.

00:57:52.360 --> 00:57:54.500
I actually had the tin can. Paul could actually

00:57:54.500 --> 00:57:58.059
tune his hearing aids in. He catches it. I don't

00:57:58.059 --> 00:58:00.179
think I can do that. Maybe that's a feature I

00:58:00.179 --> 00:58:02.800
haven't unlocked. Yeah, we've got the little

00:58:02.800 --> 00:58:06.860
walkie -talkies before. So I'm going to be prepared.

00:58:07.659 --> 00:58:09.719
When it comes to hobbies, though, I think the

00:58:09.719 --> 00:58:12.469
ham radio would be... A really cool thing. Talk

00:58:12.469 --> 00:58:15.090
to people in Australia and shit, man. But the

00:58:15.090 --> 00:58:17.130
ham radio, you have to have a license for it.

00:58:17.190 --> 00:58:20.110
So the walkie -talkie, no license. Do you have

00:58:20.110 --> 00:58:22.090
to have a license to have the ham radio or the

00:58:22.090 --> 00:58:26.050
antenna? Well, what would use be without the

00:58:26.050 --> 00:58:28.150
antenna? Yes. I mean, but those are two different

00:58:28.150 --> 00:58:29.650
things. I mean, are you going to get in trouble

00:58:29.650 --> 00:58:31.110
for having the radio or are you going to get

00:58:31.110 --> 00:58:33.650
in trouble for having the 25 -foot antenna? Yeah,

00:58:33.670 --> 00:58:36.289
you have to have a ham radio operator's license.

00:58:36.690 --> 00:58:39.409
Is there a test? Yes. I'd fail the test. It's

00:58:39.409 --> 00:58:41.780
extensive. Forget it. I know lots of guys that

00:58:41.780 --> 00:58:43.880
have, you know, tech guys that have their...

00:58:43.880 --> 00:58:47.079
Why do they make it difficult to get one? I don't

00:58:47.079 --> 00:58:49.099
know. It's an exclusive club. It's probably some

00:58:49.099 --> 00:58:52.760
mid -1940s test that's never been looked at again.

00:58:53.000 --> 00:58:56.840
Right. Probably. Great. Some law somewhere. Yeah.

00:58:57.059 --> 00:58:58.800
It's kind of like your motorcycle license. Do

00:58:58.800 --> 00:59:00.480
you have that? Speaking of law... Do you have

00:59:00.480 --> 00:59:02.619
a motorcycle license? You don't ride dirty? God,

00:59:02.840 --> 00:59:07.099
no. Speaking of laws, I saw this question posed.

00:59:07.139 --> 00:59:08.760
What the hell? What just happened? I don't know.

00:59:09.920 --> 00:59:11.739
I feel dirty. I'm sorry. I'm never getting on

00:59:11.739 --> 00:59:15.239
my motorcycle again. Clean. Anyway, the question

00:59:15.239 --> 00:59:17.260
posed, and I don't know what the answer is. Maybe

00:59:17.260 --> 00:59:21.579
somebody here does. The question was how Tesla

00:59:21.579 --> 00:59:24.559
now has these self -driving cars, and Austin

00:59:24.559 --> 00:59:26.840
and Waymo has them out in San Francisco. Great.

00:59:27.099 --> 00:59:30.079
So if I have a self -driving car, I bought a

00:59:30.079 --> 00:59:32.980
Tesla, and it's got self -driving. And I go out,

00:59:33.019 --> 00:59:35.840
and I get shit -faced. And I sit in the passenger

00:59:35.840 --> 00:59:38.340
seat in the back seat. And I go, and the car's

00:59:38.340 --> 00:59:42.329
driving me home. and it wrecks, who is responsible

00:59:42.329 --> 00:59:46.329
for that wreck? Elon Musk. I don't know. Can

00:59:46.329 --> 00:59:49.409
I get a DUI? I'm not driving. I'm a passenger

00:59:49.409 --> 00:59:51.409
in my car. That actually is a great question.

00:59:51.610 --> 00:59:55.869
I think you would get the ticket because is it

00:59:55.869 --> 00:59:59.550
legal for you to drive, to have the car drive

00:59:59.550 --> 01:00:02.269
itself? Yes. I mean, what if you called a robo

01:00:02.269 --> 01:00:04.030
-tax? I don't know. I've never heard this. That's

01:00:04.030 --> 01:00:06.349
what I mean. It's legal. Yeah, they have them

01:00:06.349 --> 01:00:09.940
in Austin. And the Waymos, all those cars that

01:00:09.940 --> 01:00:11.639
are lighting on fire in Los Angeles, those are

01:00:11.639 --> 01:00:14.019
self -driving cars. Okay. You would absolutely

01:00:14.019 --> 01:00:15.960
not get a ticket. Those are two different things,

01:00:15.960 --> 01:00:18.159
though. But your Tesla also has a self -driving

01:00:18.159 --> 01:00:21.500
feature. Okay. If you're behind the wheel, you'll

01:00:21.500 --> 01:00:23.360
get a ticket. But if you're sitting in the passenger

01:00:23.360 --> 01:00:25.900
seat. You're not. Well, who gets the ticket if

01:00:25.900 --> 01:00:28.880
the car crashes? Plain devil's advocate, I would

01:00:28.880 --> 01:00:31.579
say that if you're driving a self -driving car.

01:00:32.269 --> 01:00:34.590
But you're not driving it, though. If it has

01:00:34.590 --> 01:00:37.349
all the features like these self -driving cars

01:00:37.349 --> 01:00:39.469
do to pick up people at the airport, take them

01:00:39.469 --> 01:00:41.730
wherever, they drive slow, they've got the cameras

01:00:41.730 --> 01:00:43.869
everywhere, and they've got sound. But instead

01:00:43.869 --> 01:00:47.090
of having a self -driving feature that's on your

01:00:47.090 --> 01:00:50.019
car. That helps when you need to turn around

01:00:50.019 --> 01:00:52.099
and grab something out of the back seat. Or you

01:00:52.099 --> 01:00:53.960
drop something on the floorboard in your passenger

01:00:53.960 --> 01:00:57.619
seat. I don't know. I mean, is that legal to

01:00:57.619 --> 01:00:59.300
do? That's the question. Well, they're developing

01:00:59.300 --> 01:01:01.920
self -driving cars. That's where this robo -taxi

01:01:01.920 --> 01:01:05.760
is going to. At this point in time. Because the

01:01:05.760 --> 01:01:07.179
question was, who's liable? Well, Tesla has it

01:01:07.179 --> 01:01:10.559
now. That's what I mean. Is it Tesla, the software

01:01:10.559 --> 01:01:14.659
engineers? I'd say it's your fault. Because it's

01:01:14.659 --> 01:01:19.769
not a proven... No, it is. It's happening now.

01:01:19.809 --> 01:01:22.389
This isn't a futuristic scenario. So is this

01:01:22.389 --> 01:01:25.369
a licensed thing that they have? Because there

01:01:25.369 --> 01:01:28.010
needs to be some sort of responsibility. Who's

01:01:28.010 --> 01:01:29.889
liable at that point? That's what I mean. I don't

01:01:29.889 --> 01:01:32.670
know what the law is. Currently, they're saying

01:01:32.670 --> 01:01:35.650
if you are intoxicated inside a self -driving

01:01:35.650 --> 01:01:37.710
car, even if it is self -driving, you have an

01:01:37.710 --> 01:01:40.530
option of taking control of that car, then it's

01:01:40.530 --> 01:01:42.829
on you. Now, if they come out with, there's no

01:01:42.829 --> 01:01:44.929
steering wheel in the car. and then you call

01:01:44.929 --> 01:01:47.309
a robotaxi and you have no option of taking control

01:01:47.309 --> 01:01:49.909
of that car, then you can be intoxicated is the

01:01:49.909 --> 01:01:52.309
future, though, right? So can you be in the passenger

01:01:52.309 --> 01:01:54.309
seat or in the back seat? No, because you still

01:01:54.309 --> 01:01:56.150
have the option of taking control of that car.

01:01:56.530 --> 01:01:59.469
So if I'm in the back seat, it's still my fault.

01:01:59.570 --> 01:02:02.110
Yep. You can't take control of the car from the

01:02:02.110 --> 01:02:03.389
back seat. Well, especially if you're drunk past

01:02:03.389 --> 01:02:04.769
that. Well, you could climb over a seat. I was

01:02:04.769 --> 01:02:06.989
drunk. I didn't want to drive. I thought this

01:02:06.989 --> 01:02:10.599
was safer. Uber. Yeah. My car drives itself.

01:02:10.860 --> 01:02:14.659
They had a self -driving test. They're still

01:02:14.659 --> 01:02:17.320
going to work it out, I'm sure. It's a new technology.

01:02:17.840 --> 01:02:20.340
They had another test. This just happened this

01:02:20.340 --> 01:02:22.340
past week where they had self -driving cars.

01:02:22.519 --> 01:02:25.260
They were putting them through tests and they

01:02:25.260 --> 01:02:28.659
failed. There was a kid that was going down the

01:02:28.659 --> 01:02:31.199
street. It was a fake kid, of course. All of

01:02:31.199 --> 01:02:32.920
a sudden, it just pops out in front of a car.

01:02:33.039 --> 01:02:37.780
You know how kids do that, chasing a ball. Back

01:02:37.780 --> 01:02:41.420
up over them again. Oh, my bad. No, I got them.

01:02:41.440 --> 01:02:44.360
I got them. Yeah, so I think the technology has

01:02:44.360 --> 01:02:46.719
a lot to go because when you're driving your

01:02:46.719 --> 01:02:49.539
car, there's a lot that you have. I mean, we

01:02:49.539 --> 01:02:51.900
do it by just second nature at this point, but

01:02:51.900 --> 01:02:53.880
there's a lot that you're paying attention to

01:02:53.880 --> 01:02:58.440
at any given time. And I don't think cars are

01:02:58.440 --> 01:03:01.880
there yet to account for that. Right. A lot of

01:03:01.880 --> 01:03:04.840
the stuff that happens. So if you're in a situation,

01:03:05.019 --> 01:03:07.570
you're like, this car is coming over. Well, if

01:03:07.570 --> 01:03:09.590
I get over, I'm going to hit somebody. But if

01:03:09.590 --> 01:03:11.429
I don't get over, this car is going to hit me.

01:03:12.250 --> 01:03:14.730
Who makes that decision? Right. Does the car

01:03:14.730 --> 01:03:16.590
allow itself to get hit or does it come over

01:03:16.590 --> 01:03:18.050
here and does it take out these people standing

01:03:18.050 --> 01:03:21.190
on the side of the road? Right. And then there

01:03:21.190 --> 01:03:23.610
are certain scenarios where it gets confused

01:03:23.610 --> 01:03:27.050
when a human brain wouldn't. I remember the early

01:03:27.050 --> 01:03:30.590
self -driving Teslas. There was some scenario

01:03:30.590 --> 01:03:34.610
where a white, like a semi -truck, the trailer

01:03:34.610 --> 01:03:37.929
part, it would get confused about, The way it

01:03:37.929 --> 01:03:40.590
looked, and it rammed right into a number of

01:03:40.590 --> 01:03:42.230
those things. So there's certain scenarios, and

01:03:42.230 --> 01:03:44.110
I'm sure they coded for it and fixed it and all

01:03:44.110 --> 01:03:46.889
that kind of stuff. But again, you're programming

01:03:46.889 --> 01:03:49.829
it to understand patterns, and that's no match

01:03:49.829 --> 01:03:51.409
for the human brain right now. I'm thinking right

01:03:51.409 --> 01:03:54.469
now it would be a bad idea to do it. I don't

01:03:54.469 --> 01:03:55.909
know the legality on it, but I'm just thinking

01:03:55.909 --> 01:04:00.050
it'd be bad. I don't either, and I wouldn't trust

01:04:00.050 --> 01:04:03.079
it now either. You know, there are some people

01:04:03.079 --> 01:04:06.460
who are saying, well, it'd be the software developer's

01:04:06.460 --> 01:04:10.300
fault because they... No. No, it's kind of like,

01:04:10.320 --> 01:04:13.000
you know, is it the beer makers or the whiskey

01:04:13.000 --> 01:04:14.940
makers' fault? Do you drive drunk? You know,

01:04:14.980 --> 01:04:16.920
I mean, it's kind of... But you're not driving.

01:04:17.320 --> 01:04:20.179
Yeah. I mean, what if you get a flat tire? You

01:04:20.179 --> 01:04:23.300
know, is it the tire manufacturer's fault? Where

01:04:23.300 --> 01:04:24.980
do you draw the line? Oh, I know. I'm, again,

01:04:25.099 --> 01:04:27.849
playing devil's advocate. I don't know. I personally

01:04:27.849 --> 01:04:30.969
think it would be unfair to charge a backseat

01:04:30.969 --> 01:04:33.670
driver to have a DWI. It would be unfair, but

01:04:33.670 --> 01:04:36.449
that's the way the rules are today. So you'd

01:04:36.449 --> 01:04:40.050
have to have a different law written, either

01:04:40.050 --> 01:04:42.090
federally or statewide. And they'll need to do

01:04:42.090 --> 01:04:44.409
that. Somebody posed the question the other day,

01:04:44.510 --> 01:04:48.110
what happens, and he's seen it happen, if they're

01:04:48.110 --> 01:04:54.309
designed to avoid people, pedestrians, and what

01:04:54.309 --> 01:04:57.010
if somebody's just running around your car? And

01:04:57.010 --> 01:05:00.429
you can't move for like an hour. Right. And,

01:05:00.489 --> 01:05:03.510
and they, you have no way of like moving. Like

01:05:03.510 --> 01:05:05.730
a protester. Yeah. Yeah. A protester or just

01:05:05.730 --> 01:05:08.409
a jackass, you know, same thing, right? There

01:05:08.409 --> 01:05:10.530
needs to be a protester override button where

01:05:10.530 --> 01:05:12.429
you can run over. Yeah. Yeah. Like in Florida,

01:05:12.449 --> 01:05:13.610
you can just gun it. It's called a four wheel

01:05:13.610 --> 01:05:15.969
drive. I like that. In Florida, you just gun

01:05:15.969 --> 01:05:18.690
it. Right. But the, the, the computer doesn't

01:05:18.690 --> 01:05:21.210
know what to do if it's, if it's confused. Right.

01:05:21.250 --> 01:05:24.190
And it's got multiple things of crash avoidances

01:05:24.190 --> 01:05:27.420
and it, and it's tied up for, For forever, you

01:05:27.420 --> 01:05:29.099
know? I'm not buying one of these cars. You'll

01:05:29.099 --> 01:05:31.659
never get home. I'm definitely not buying one

01:05:31.659 --> 01:05:33.760
of these cars. I'm not a proponent for it either.

01:05:34.019 --> 01:05:37.480
I'm not the first car around anyway. Yeah, I

01:05:37.480 --> 01:05:39.219
don't think it's ready. Not even close. Even

01:05:39.219 --> 01:05:41.159
on the Jetsons, they still drive their own car.

01:05:42.840 --> 01:05:47.650
They're little spaceships. You're so forward

01:05:47.650 --> 01:05:50.949
thinking. Do that again, Jeff. Well, that was

01:05:50.949 --> 01:05:53.889
2025, right? You said the Jetsons occurred in

01:05:53.889 --> 01:05:57.190
2025? Yeah, that's true. That's good stuff, man.

01:05:57.269 --> 01:05:59.349
I hate that. I hate when they do that in the

01:05:59.349 --> 01:06:02.510
future and we're already past their future. I

01:06:02.510 --> 01:06:05.309
hate that. All right, anyway. Oh, hold on. Let's

01:06:05.309 --> 01:06:06.550
see if we got a little voiceover. Oh, now we

01:06:06.550 --> 01:06:10.730
can see how close Jeff was. Here we go. See?

01:06:11.940 --> 01:06:15.019
Oh, my God. What the hell is that? It was right

01:06:15.019 --> 01:06:18.320
on. But they had to drive, though. Yeah. They

01:06:18.320 --> 01:06:20.800
were there driving. But they do have the robot,

01:06:20.940 --> 01:06:24.739
the housemaid. Alice? Was it Alice? Bianca? I

01:06:24.739 --> 01:06:27.920
can't remember. Bianca. Okay. Yes. Who's that?

01:06:28.239 --> 01:06:30.059
I watched the Jetsons when I moved to the United

01:06:30.059 --> 01:06:33.679
States. You have never watched Jetsons? I haven't.

01:06:33.679 --> 01:06:36.059
I mean, I haven't really. George Jensen. I mean,

01:06:36.059 --> 01:06:39.099
I knew who they are. But that wasn't a cartoon

01:06:39.099 --> 01:06:44.309
that I watched. Jane is wife. I never watched

01:06:44.309 --> 01:06:45.889
it. Do you ever watch any of the Hanna -Barbera

01:06:45.889 --> 01:06:51.030
cartoons? Yeah. Absolutely. Yogi Bear? No, no,

01:06:51.030 --> 01:06:54.289
no. One in particular. We're not talking about

01:06:54.289 --> 01:07:00.760
this one. So painful. Paul has a... condition

01:07:00.760 --> 01:07:04.659
against Hanna -Barbera. It's more PTSD. Was it

01:07:04.659 --> 01:07:06.500
from the show? No, it was from when you guys

01:07:06.500 --> 01:07:10.940
talk about it. Often? We talked about it once.

01:07:11.000 --> 01:07:12.960
We talked about it once, but we went into depth

01:07:12.960 --> 01:07:16.619
about the Hanna -Barbera once they had the Olympics

01:07:16.619 --> 01:07:19.920
and just all the different He -Man and all the

01:07:19.920 --> 01:07:23.460
Captain K -Man and stuff like that. That was

01:07:23.460 --> 01:07:25.530
fun. It was the times we grew up. It was good.

01:07:25.670 --> 01:07:28.250
You know, I miss all, you don't see these anymore,

01:07:28.349 --> 01:07:29.510
and I don't know if it's because they have to

01:07:29.510 --> 01:07:31.250
be politically correct anymore, but the Warner

01:07:31.250 --> 01:07:34.449
Brothers, the Mary Melodies. There is a station

01:07:34.449 --> 01:07:37.489
on Tableau that you can get. It's called Tune

01:07:37.489 --> 01:07:39.869
Network. They have all the old Hanna -Barbera,

01:07:39.889 --> 01:07:42.550
all the Yogi Berra, all that shit. I see, I see,

01:07:42.630 --> 01:07:44.909
I see, I see. Yes. I bought that boy a ride.

01:07:45.309 --> 01:07:48.110
Pay attention when I'm talking to you, boy. That

01:07:48.110 --> 01:07:50.570
boy make me nervous about a cat with a 50 -foot

01:07:50.570 --> 01:07:52.429
tail and a room full of rocking chairs. I don't

01:07:52.429 --> 01:07:55.239
know where that came from. And we'd never be

01:07:55.239 --> 01:08:00.659
able to say that now. No. No way. So Max is dropping

01:08:00.659 --> 01:08:04.239
a new Looney Tunes movie. Who is? Yeah, well,

01:08:04.340 --> 01:08:07.400
HBO. Oh, HBO? Yeah. It's not going to be as good.

01:08:07.659 --> 01:08:10.199
I don't call it Max. I'm still calling it HBO,

01:08:10.260 --> 01:08:11.599
even though it says Max on my screen. Well, they're

01:08:11.599 --> 01:08:13.579
splitting that all apart again. Are they really?

01:08:13.719 --> 01:08:16.880
Yes. God. Yeah, the CEO did that, has finally

01:08:16.880 --> 01:08:19.279
changed his tune. It says, yeah, we're going

01:08:19.279 --> 01:08:20.920
to have to split all this stuff apart again.

01:08:21.630 --> 01:08:24.310
All the money and time they spent doing that.

01:08:24.750 --> 01:08:26.590
Okay, so what is this now? The Day the Earth

01:08:26.590 --> 01:08:28.989
Blew Up? Looney Tunes movie. You see, that's

01:08:28.989 --> 01:08:31.250
why you need the radio. This is the new thing,

01:08:31.369 --> 01:08:34.350
huh? Well, I mean, we'll see. I'm willing to

01:08:34.350 --> 01:08:37.050
give it a try. Yeah, why not? There's such a

01:08:37.050 --> 01:08:39.970
dearth of actual shows on right now. Oh, God.

01:08:40.229 --> 01:08:42.770
It does seem like it. Maybe it's violent. Maybe.

01:08:43.050 --> 01:08:45.529
Does it say that it's violent? It features Porky

01:08:45.529 --> 01:08:49.390
Pig, Daffy Duck as unlikely heroes facing an

01:08:49.390 --> 01:08:51.890
alien invasion. Interesting. I like Martian.

01:08:53.310 --> 01:08:55.810
Marvin the Martian. I love Marvin the Martian.

01:08:55.810 --> 01:08:59.289
Martians from another planet? Yeah, I was a huge

01:08:59.289 --> 01:09:01.170
fan. I used to watch it every Saturday. There'd

01:09:01.170 --> 01:09:05.430
be four hours of Looney Tunes on the TV, and

01:09:05.430 --> 01:09:07.090
I would sit there and I'd watch all of it every

01:09:07.090 --> 01:09:10.909
single Saturday. And Bugs Bunny, Roadrunner was

01:09:10.909 --> 01:09:14.090
my favorite. Yeah. And Coyote was my favorite.

01:09:14.210 --> 01:09:16.029
But I think I've seen all of them probably a

01:09:16.029 --> 01:09:18.189
dozen times. But it's your favorite, but they

01:09:18.189 --> 01:09:20.449
never say anything. Like, how is it our favorite?

01:09:20.529 --> 01:09:23.369
How are we so enamored by the Wile E. Coyote?

01:09:23.550 --> 01:09:26.350
The constant struggle. It was. Yeah, maybe that's

01:09:26.350 --> 01:09:29.310
it. That's what it was. Yeah. Yeah, the Roadrunner

01:09:29.310 --> 01:09:31.890
was so cocky. Beep, beep. He's just like this.

01:09:31.909 --> 01:09:33.529
He's just going to go, what's up? Beep, beep.

01:09:33.710 --> 01:09:36.289
He can't have me. That damn, yeah, was it a cat?

01:09:36.470 --> 01:09:38.810
What's the other guy that's trying to kill him?

01:09:38.890 --> 01:09:42.079
It's a coyote. Coyote. Wile E. Coyote. That's

01:09:42.079 --> 01:09:45.560
right. He'd always use the shit from Acme. Yes.

01:09:45.899 --> 01:09:50.680
Acme brick, Acme cement, Acme bomb. TNT from

01:09:50.680 --> 01:09:52.779
Acme, yes. Yes, it makes no sense, right? It

01:09:52.779 --> 01:09:55.880
is. Anyway, so Tom and Jerry was my favorite.

01:09:56.000 --> 01:09:58.199
Oh, that was one of my favorites, too. I'd watch

01:09:58.199 --> 01:10:00.840
Tom and Jerry. That was on the weekdays, though.

01:10:01.680 --> 01:10:04.079
I'd see those after school. Yes. That's when

01:10:04.079 --> 01:10:05.979
I'd watch those. Bugs Bunny laid down some classic

01:10:05.979 --> 01:10:11.399
ones, though. Oh, yeah. Elmer Fudd, and you remember

01:10:11.399 --> 01:10:13.720
the one where they had the opera music? Oh, yeah.

01:10:15.000 --> 01:10:17.840
Yes, yes. I think we're dating ourselves. Classic

01:10:17.840 --> 01:10:20.600
ones there, man. You got to deep dive into Bugs,

01:10:20.600 --> 01:10:22.340
but not all of them are winners, but there are

01:10:22.340 --> 01:10:24.539
some really good ones. Huh, I don't remember

01:10:24.539 --> 01:10:27.039
that. Interesting, the one with the opera music.

01:10:27.279 --> 01:10:29.039
All right, well, welcome back. Yeah, sorry, gentlemen.

01:10:30.079 --> 01:10:34.380
You know, when your parents are older and they

01:10:34.380 --> 01:10:37.979
call, you answer because you never know what

01:10:37.979 --> 01:10:39.819
the hell is going to happen or what's happening.

01:10:40.079 --> 01:10:42.220
Did they say there's a code texted to you? I

01:10:42.220 --> 01:10:47.500
need it. I need to log into your Netflix. No,

01:10:47.619 --> 01:10:51.359
it was medical. My mom's got some, you know,

01:10:51.399 --> 01:10:55.300
it's whatever. It's just all these times that

01:10:55.300 --> 01:10:58.489
they call. But it happens all the time. Your

01:10:58.489 --> 01:11:00.010
parents call, and you just got to bring them.

01:11:00.010 --> 01:11:02.750
You got to answer. I'm still that way with my

01:11:02.750 --> 01:11:04.970
children, and they're all adults. So if my kids

01:11:04.970 --> 01:11:07.289
call, I'm like, hold on a second. There's got

01:11:07.289 --> 01:11:08.689
to be a reason. My daughter texted me because

01:11:08.689 --> 01:11:11.109
she knows. She's like, Mom, I love these boots.

01:11:11.189 --> 01:11:16.289
I said, do you need them? Do you need me to buy

01:11:16.289 --> 01:11:20.710
them for you? And you say yes always? I do. We're

01:11:20.710 --> 01:11:23.850
suckers. Parents, you know? I don't think we

01:11:23.850 --> 01:11:26.970
are. You know, I want my kids to have the most

01:11:26.970 --> 01:11:29.310
I can offer them. But there comes a point where

01:11:29.310 --> 01:11:31.670
your kids need to grow up and be responsible.

01:11:32.569 --> 01:11:35.649
And I love when that happens. I love when that

01:11:35.649 --> 01:11:39.529
will happen. We'll have him in the future. And

01:11:39.529 --> 01:11:41.689
they start buying their own shit? Not just in

01:11:41.689 --> 01:11:43.810
general. I mean, there comes a point. Look, I

01:11:43.810 --> 01:11:46.789
grew up different. I mean, I moved out of the

01:11:46.789 --> 01:11:50.069
house, and I was 18, and I never moved back.

01:11:50.289 --> 01:11:53.109
Right. And I've been self -proficient. I've never

01:11:53.109 --> 01:11:56.010
depended on anybody. I've never asked for a loan

01:11:56.010 --> 01:12:00.189
from anybody. I've done it myself. I did it my

01:12:00.189 --> 01:12:04.590
way. Wow. But we preconditioned them, so we really

01:12:04.590 --> 01:12:07.680
can't go like, oh, my gosh. They're to blame.

01:12:08.180 --> 01:12:09.920
We're kind of to blame. It's a parenting technique.

01:12:10.119 --> 01:12:11.800
It is. We could probably get into that. There's

01:12:11.800 --> 01:12:13.920
some other things. We'll talk about second half,

01:12:13.979 --> 01:12:16.800
about parenting techniques and cell phones and

01:12:16.800 --> 01:12:19.699
all that shit. Jackie, you sticking around for

01:12:19.699 --> 01:12:21.500
the second half? Absolutely. Wouldn't miss it.

01:12:21.659 --> 01:12:23.800
Good. First half of the Dudes Like Us podcast,

01:12:24.039 --> 01:12:27.979

I'm Joe. Whoa. What in the hell? He had a stroke,

01:12:39.449 --> 01:12:41.369
ladies and gentlemen. I was stroking. I think

01:12:41.369 --> 01:12:43.729
so. Oh, Lord. And I'm Jackie Mack.
