WEBVTT

00:00:04.179 --> 00:00:08.880
Oh, the lava lamp is off. It is. We need to fix

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:10.500
that so it's a little bit easier to turn on.

00:00:10.820 --> 00:00:15.660
Yeah. Low voltage trigger. Alexa, turn on lava

00:00:15.660 --> 00:00:18.640
lamp. It looks really boring to look at right

00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.420
now. It's got this, like a ball sack hanging

00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:23.660
from the top. Doing nothing. Lord, your ball

00:00:23.660 --> 00:00:25.920
sack looks like that. You screwed up. Something

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:27.800
about lava lamps when you first turn them on.

00:00:27.820 --> 00:00:31.339
They're just so. Oh, just one side. Not worth.

00:00:33.609 --> 00:00:36.869
All right, well, look, it's the first half. It

00:00:36.869 --> 00:00:40.409
is freaking the middle of July. It is. It is.

00:00:40.409 --> 00:00:44.450
Beware the Ides of July. Oh, my Lord. I can't

00:00:44.450 --> 00:00:47.890
get anything to work. Screw it. So we got a special

00:00:47.890 --> 00:00:51.070
guest today. We got a jam -packed Dude Psychos

00:00:51.070 --> 00:00:55.030
podcast. We're so excited. We took a week off.

00:00:55.109 --> 00:00:57.570
I think Paul went to Colorado, right? I did.

00:00:57.770 --> 00:01:00.890
Yes. And while he was gone, while the cat's away,

00:01:01.030 --> 00:01:03.649
they might as well play. And we did that. We

00:01:03.649 --> 00:01:06.629
did a couple events without Paul, and, you know,

00:01:06.650 --> 00:01:10.709
it was difficult. You know, we went through it.

00:01:10.849 --> 00:01:13.530
A couple of events? Really. It was difficult

00:01:13.530 --> 00:01:16.230
for you to do it without me, huh? It was. I felt

00:01:16.230 --> 00:01:18.310
empty. We tried to wait for you, but you just

00:01:18.310 --> 00:01:20.769
left it a day too late. It was difficult only

00:01:20.769 --> 00:01:23.109
because you were, like, barraging me with pictures

00:01:23.109 --> 00:01:26.709
of what I was missing. We wanted to share with

00:01:26.709 --> 00:01:28.650
you the wonderful experience that we were having.

00:01:28.790 --> 00:01:30.689
Yes. It was. It was nice. I've never been to

00:01:30.689 --> 00:01:32.209
this. We'll talk about it. I guess we can talk

00:01:32.209 --> 00:01:34.349
about it right now if you want. Well, check us

00:01:34.349 --> 00:01:37.930
out on Facebook or Instagram. It's dudeslikeus

00:01:37.930 --> 00:01:41.170
-podcast or dudeslikeus -footcraft. You know

00:01:41.170 --> 00:01:42.569
what? We've got a special guest, dudeslikeus.

00:01:42.590 --> 00:01:45.569
I'm Sean. I'm Paul. I am Jeff. And I'm the special

00:01:45.569 --> 00:01:48.069
guest. I'm Larry. Yes. Is your microphone working

00:01:48.069 --> 00:01:50.109
good for you? It seems to be. Sounds good to

00:01:50.109 --> 00:01:52.730
me. It's a little low. It's kind of aiming at

00:01:52.730 --> 00:01:55.650
your boobie. How's that? That's a lot better.

00:01:55.829 --> 00:01:58.790
Are you pleased now? Well, one of our pod was

00:01:58.790 --> 00:02:03.310
kind of a pod. We got to start working on our

00:02:03.310 --> 00:02:05.150
microphone etiquette. We can't hear us. I can't

00:02:05.150 --> 00:02:07.489
be talking over here. Hey, guys. See, I didn't

00:02:07.489 --> 00:02:11.210
hear you. I barely heard you. Right there. Yeah,

00:02:11.409 --> 00:02:12.830
right there in the middle. Yeah, right there

00:02:12.830 --> 00:02:14.789
in the middle. So this is not your first time

00:02:14.789 --> 00:02:17.990
on the podcast. It is not. I'm thinking this

00:02:17.990 --> 00:02:22.590
is number four, five. Wow, that many times? At

00:02:22.590 --> 00:02:25.550
least four. I was thinking the third time, but

00:02:25.550 --> 00:02:27.349
excellent. No, I think this was number four.

00:02:27.590 --> 00:02:30.849
I think you're right, yeah. You know, yeah, regardless,

00:02:31.250 --> 00:02:33.969
I mean, you were one of the pioneers when we

00:02:33.969 --> 00:02:35.469
were doing this from five years ago. Well, he

00:02:35.469 --> 00:02:38.349
was the first guest, I think. Oh, wow. How was

00:02:38.349 --> 00:02:42.930
back when we had the big ivory green, was it

00:02:42.930 --> 00:02:46.650
green, the big old couch that was in here? No,

00:02:46.689 --> 00:02:50.060
we never had that in here. What? The big green

00:02:50.060 --> 00:02:52.800
couch? We had a big -ass couch. What color was

00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:56.419
it? Big sectional? It wasn't in here when we

00:02:56.419 --> 00:02:58.500
were doing the podcast. No, we had it in here.

00:02:58.699 --> 00:03:01.659
There's no way. That took up the entire room.

00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.740
Yes, I have a picture of Austin sitting here.

00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.780
Oh, I think you're right. And he had the X -32

00:03:07.780 --> 00:03:10.259
almost in his god -blessed lap. You are correct.

00:03:10.500 --> 00:03:13.740
It was a burgundy. I forgot about that. He was

00:03:13.740 --> 00:03:15.379
sitting on it, and it was sitting next to him.

00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:17.680
And that was back when we hadn't hit the big

00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.520
time yet. Now look at us. We are huge. We're

00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:25.919
like 15 listeners now. Wow. Man, I mean, that's

00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.759
800 % increase in listenership. Thanks, Mom and

00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:33.560
Dad and all my relatives on the East Coast. Well,

00:03:33.659 --> 00:03:35.439
it's exciting. We got a lot of good topics coming

00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.599
up. Larry, you've got something. I don't even

00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.139
know if we talked about this last time, but you're

00:03:41.139 --> 00:03:47.439
retired. I am a retired gentleman. Yes, that's

00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:50.699
true. And I was like, hey, we got some job opportunities

00:03:50.699 --> 00:03:55.479
here. And you were like, no. Fuck no. It wasn't

00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:58.080
just no. I think there was a word in front of

00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:01.659
that. As of the first of this year. That's right.

00:04:01.979 --> 00:04:06.340
And I got to tell you, boys, it is greatness.

00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.780
It is so great. That's not fair. I'm about 60

00:04:10.780 --> 00:04:14.139
% there. Maybe 70 % there. Wow. Almost there.

00:04:15.659 --> 00:04:19.540
Because I'm out of the corporate world, so I

00:04:19.540 --> 00:04:22.199
consider myself semi -retired. I'm done with

00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:27.680
corporate. So I'm driving special needs kids

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:31.300
on school buses now. Oh, nice. So I consider

00:04:31.300 --> 00:04:33.800
myself retired from corporate, put it that way.

00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:37.279
It's a career change for sure. Oh, yeah. I've

00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:39.699
made some interesting observations now that I'm

00:04:39.699 --> 00:04:42.839
a retired gentleman, if I may. Please. No more

00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:46.500
booby bars? Oh, yeah. It's rampant. More of them,

00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.339
right? You know, as retirement was approaching,

00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:54.259
like anybody does, I started thinking about it.

00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:56.939
Like, what am I going to do when I'm retired?

00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:58.600
Were you freaking out a little bit? Kind of the

00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:00.500
empty feeling or scared feeling? I don't know

00:05:00.500 --> 00:05:04.800
that I was freaking out, but I was just wondering,

00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:08.800
what is it going to be like? Because for 40 years,

00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:13.750
you are trained to get up, Go to work. Come home.

00:05:13.850 --> 00:05:17.310
Get up. Go to work. Come home. For 40 years.

00:05:17.389 --> 00:05:20.870
I know. That's a long time. Yeah. And I thought

00:05:20.870 --> 00:05:23.889
to myself, is that a hard habit to break for

00:05:23.889 --> 00:05:27.829
doing that for so long? Son, I can tell you it

00:05:27.829 --> 00:05:34.589
is not a hard habit to break. I do not miss working

00:05:34.589 --> 00:05:38.839
one bit. That's hilarious. Now, don't get me

00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.399
wrong. I enjoyed my career. Sean and I worked

00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:47.319
together at a company a few years ago as adjusters.

00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:50.699
It was a career that suited me. I enjoyed it.

00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:52.660
It was a little bit inside, a little bit outside.

00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:55.980
Traveled all over the place looking at different

00:05:55.980 --> 00:05:58.699
storms and things like this. It was a good career.

00:05:58.980 --> 00:06:05.279
I enjoyed it. Right. But I am so done. I do not

00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:08.019
miss working one day. So what do you find yourself

00:06:08.019 --> 00:06:12.139
doing? Is it always unscheduled, unplanned? Crossword

00:06:12.139 --> 00:06:15.079
puzzles, whatever he wants. Hide the meat sticks.

00:06:15.180 --> 00:06:17.139
That's exactly my answer. No, I mean, really.

00:06:17.220 --> 00:06:19.339
So is your day just kind of, you know, whatever

00:06:19.339 --> 00:06:21.800
comes to you that day? Or is there any plan at

00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:30.079
all? Another observation that I have made is,

00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.300
you know, when you're working and, you know,

00:06:33.710 --> 00:06:36.149
Maybe on Tuesday, I have a meeting with somebody.

00:06:36.269 --> 00:06:38.269
And on Wednesday, I have this call that I have

00:06:38.269 --> 00:06:40.269
to make. And then I have this on Thursday. So

00:06:40.269 --> 00:06:44.550
you have all of these appointments in mind that

00:06:44.550 --> 00:06:47.089
you have in your brain and you know you've got

00:06:47.089 --> 00:06:49.029
to make them. And I don't know about you guys,

00:06:49.129 --> 00:06:52.509
but with me, that would always be a source of

00:06:52.509 --> 00:06:56.750
a certain level of anxiety. You're afraid you're

00:06:56.750 --> 00:06:58.370
going to forget it or you're going to miss it.

00:06:58.470 --> 00:07:01.110
Always in the back of your mind. But you can't

00:07:01.110 --> 00:07:02.709
miss that appointment because it's important.

00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:07.420
Right. Well, when not working, of course, now

00:07:07.420 --> 00:07:09.379
I don't have these appointments or inspections

00:07:09.379 --> 00:07:12.160
or meetings or any of that stuff. Blood pressure

00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:17.839
is great now. Now it's stupid stuff like an appointment

00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.000
to come here this evening to meet with you guys.

00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:21.839
Oh, that's really stupid. An appointment to go

00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:25.800
to the doctor or a lunch date with somebody.

00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.410
But the funny thing is, it seems as though. The

00:07:29.410 --> 00:07:32.689
level of anxiety with those appointments, whether

00:07:32.689 --> 00:07:35.610
it's a work meeting or a Zoom call or something,

00:07:35.889 --> 00:07:40.410
that is so dumb. But that level of anxiety is

00:07:40.410 --> 00:07:43.589
still the same with the doctor's appointment

00:07:43.589 --> 00:07:45.269
and going to this and going to that. On Wednesday,

00:07:45.310 --> 00:07:47.410
the tree trimmer's coming. I got to go get a

00:07:47.410 --> 00:07:49.430
haircut. I got to make sure that I'm home for

00:07:49.430 --> 00:07:51.269
the tree trimmer. I'm getting my toenails painted.

00:07:51.430 --> 00:07:53.790
I mean, it's stupid stuff. I got to take the

00:07:53.790 --> 00:07:56.389
dog to the groomer. But like you said, it's just

00:07:56.389 --> 00:07:59.579
as anxious. And I don't mean to... imply that

00:07:59.579 --> 00:08:03.180
it's like a very high level of anxiety it's not

00:08:03.180 --> 00:08:05.600
it's the bars just dropped yeah you know it's

00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.819
like at about a three maybe but you know it's

00:08:07.819 --> 00:08:10.980
still there but these stupid appointments that

00:08:10.980 --> 00:08:13.180
i have to do the doctor and take the dog to the

00:08:13.180 --> 00:08:15.540
groomer and things like that that level of anxiety

00:08:15.540 --> 00:08:19.120
is still there with those i will see it as because

00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:21.160
i was i was not working all last year i will

00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:24.290
saw it as an inconvenience To have to do something

00:08:24.290 --> 00:08:26.449
somewhere? To do something that I didn't want

00:08:26.449 --> 00:08:28.750
to do. So I'd have these appointments where my

00:08:28.750 --> 00:08:30.209
wife would be like, hey, you need to go do this,

00:08:30.209 --> 00:08:32.429
do that. I saw it as an inconvenience because

00:08:32.429 --> 00:08:35.330
I wanted to do what I wanted to do. Whether that

00:08:35.330 --> 00:08:38.789
was look for a job or go work out in the garage

00:08:38.789 --> 00:08:41.389
on some wood stuff or do whatever the hell I

00:08:41.389 --> 00:08:43.909
wanted. And you asked, I was like, is your day

00:08:43.909 --> 00:08:47.590
planned out? No, I never had a planned day. Whatever

00:08:47.590 --> 00:08:49.289
came to me that day, whatever I wanted to do,

00:08:49.309 --> 00:08:52.049
I did. I don't know if it'll always be that way.

00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.600
But I know last year that's the way it was. You

00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:57.360
know, it's interesting. You called it anxiety

00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.799
and stress. I always try to steer away from those

00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:01.399
two words, you know, because my wife is like,

00:09:01.460 --> 00:09:03.100
what are you so stressed about? I'm like, I'm

00:09:03.100 --> 00:09:06.179
not really stressed. It's just intensity. It's

00:09:06.179 --> 00:09:08.960
an intensity. It's not a stress. Because, you

00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:10.620
know, I think of stress as like, oh, my God,

00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:13.519
we're going to die. Or anxiety is like, oh, my

00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:15.139
God, oh, my God, oh, my God. It isn't that. It's

00:09:15.139 --> 00:09:17.679
like, okay. It's an intensity. I've got to get

00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:19.399
this done. I've got to get that done. I've got

00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:21.559
to get that done before I get that done. So it

00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:24.419
isn't like a negative thing. It's just a, you

00:09:24.419 --> 00:09:27.379
know what I mean? It's like a keep the ball moving,

00:09:27.460 --> 00:09:29.740
right? The train is rolling. I see when you retire,

00:09:29.860 --> 00:09:31.860
Paul, you're going to have a list every day.

00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:35.720
I am. I'm a list guy. And I love, I feel so accomplished

00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.519
when I am productive. But when you have 200 days

00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.159
in a row of that, that list gets worked. Right,

00:09:43.179 --> 00:09:44.620
and then you have nothing. What happens after

00:09:44.620 --> 00:09:47.240
that? I think it's a question because you're

00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:49.620
like, all right, I've done this list. I've gone

00:09:49.620 --> 00:09:52.139
back and done it three more times. Now what am

00:09:52.139 --> 00:09:53.659
I going to do? That's what I was starting to

00:09:53.659 --> 00:09:55.559
struggle with. I was like, okay, I've done this,

00:09:55.620 --> 00:09:58.000
I've done this, I've done this, done this. Now

00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.220
what? I think I just get more granular. Like

00:10:01.220 --> 00:10:04.039
I saw an ant on the driveway. I'm going to go

00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:06.710
get him. I'm going to sit out and wait for that

00:10:06.710 --> 00:10:08.370
ant. Wait for him to come back out. Yeah, come

00:10:08.370 --> 00:10:10.509
back out. I've got my magnifying glass ready

00:10:10.509 --> 00:10:13.190
to go, man. And I think that's where some folks

00:10:13.190 --> 00:10:16.950
have trouble retiring. Because in the beginning,

00:10:17.029 --> 00:10:18.789
you're like, okay, I've got all this stuff I

00:10:18.789 --> 00:10:20.409
can do. Boom, boom, boom. Well, now they're all

00:10:20.409 --> 00:10:24.269
complete. I'm three months into this. Now what?

00:10:24.470 --> 00:10:26.330
What now? Right? Well, then you start watching

00:10:26.330 --> 00:10:30.110
The View. Oh, God. So, right. Is that correct,

00:10:30.370 --> 00:10:32.330
Larry? Is that what you're doing? Yeah. Any TV

00:10:32.330 --> 00:10:36.210
watching? The news. I watch a lot of news. Yeah.

00:10:36.210 --> 00:10:39.470
Yeah. Just constant. Another thing that I've

00:10:39.470 --> 00:10:42.220
noticed, remember, I don't know. 10 or 15 years

00:10:42.220 --> 00:10:44.320
ago, maybe you run into an old friend of yours

00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:46.399
that's a retired person. You go, well, hey, what

00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:48.240
have you been doing? And the old person would

00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:51.980
say, oh, gosh, I am so busy. Is your friend gay?

00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:57.019
I am so busy now. I have to go to the pharmacy.

00:10:57.159 --> 00:11:00.620
I have to stop at my sister's house. I have to

00:11:00.620 --> 00:11:02.379
do this. I don't think there's anything wrong

00:11:02.379 --> 00:11:04.879
with that. All of these kind of mundane sounding

00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:08.940
things. And 10 years ago, you're kind of comparing

00:11:08.940 --> 00:11:12.519
his. quote -unquote busy yeah you're real life

00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:15.139
busy of the stresses of your job and responsibilities

00:11:15.139 --> 00:11:18.659
and you're thinking to yourself dude you ain't

00:11:18.659 --> 00:11:21.220
busy yeah it's like seriously This is what you

00:11:21.220 --> 00:11:24.620
have to deal with? I had to fold my socks. Okay,

00:11:24.700 --> 00:11:27.639
so I am now that old guy. That guy. There you

00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:29.580
go. I'm that guy now. And by the way, it's going

00:11:29.580 --> 00:11:31.500
to get worse. Well, that's what I mean. I'm so

00:11:31.500 --> 00:11:34.100
busy. I have to go to the grocery store. I got

00:11:34.100 --> 00:11:36.419
to go to the post office. I think that's important,

00:11:36.580 --> 00:11:39.679
though. I think it will increase the longevity

00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.480
of your life, your daily. Oh, yeah. That's what

00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:47.649
I was getting at. I was like, you need to. Find

00:11:47.649 --> 00:11:49.809
something to fill the time. Otherwise, you're

00:11:49.809 --> 00:11:51.549
just going to sit on the sofa staring at the

00:11:51.549 --> 00:11:53.289
TV watching The View. Yeah, you got to be engaged.

00:11:53.370 --> 00:11:54.750
You got to keep your brain engaged. Correct.

00:11:54.990 --> 00:11:57.889
And, you know, I know when my parents retired,

00:11:58.149 --> 00:12:02.409
my dad specifically, his was fixing his house,

00:12:02.470 --> 00:12:03.990
right? He moved out. He had a couple acres. So

00:12:03.990 --> 00:12:06.809
his job, what he turned into was basically a

00:12:06.809 --> 00:12:10.399
big -ass landscaper. for around his house it

00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.539
took him years oh yeah well i mean that's like

00:12:12.539 --> 00:12:14.759
a hobby right yeah people do gardening and people

00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:16.960
do he finally got the moat completed with the

00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:19.179
drawbridge he did you know he installed all kinds

00:12:19.179 --> 00:12:22.019
of like drip lines and all kinds of stuff you

00:12:22.019 --> 00:12:25.279
know so it took him years and uh you know and

00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:27.519
eventually and taking care of my mom for one

00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:29.580
thing and then it was done and then he i don't

00:12:29.580 --> 00:12:31.980
know what he did after that what about shoveled

00:12:31.980 --> 00:12:34.980
snow yeah for the neighbors yeah so what about

00:12:34.980 --> 00:12:41.669
um visiting art or museums or you go to sporting

00:12:41.669 --> 00:12:43.710
events. I mean, do you find yourself doing more

00:12:43.710 --> 00:12:45.809
getting out and about or are they just really

00:12:45.809 --> 00:12:51.669
mundane everyday tasks? To that point, you know,

00:12:51.690 --> 00:12:54.830
used to be I would work for the weekends, right?

00:12:54.950 --> 00:12:58.269
Because that's when you would go out and do stuff.

00:12:58.470 --> 00:13:01.250
Your free time. On Friday nights, Saturdays,

00:13:01.250 --> 00:13:04.409
maybe Sundays. Well, now weekends mean nothing.

00:13:05.169 --> 00:13:07.149
It's always a weekend. So if you want to stay

00:13:07.149 --> 00:13:09.110
out until 3 o 'clock in the morning on a Tuesday,

00:13:09.330 --> 00:13:13.600
cool. Let's do it. But that's... I mean, my bedtime

00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:15.519
really is 9 o 'clock, so that doesn't really

00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:17.840
matter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're talking all

00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:19.779
sorts of shit over there, Larry. The reality

00:13:19.779 --> 00:13:22.720
is you're asleep by 8 .30 probably. But that's

00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:25.179
all right. You're up for a certain amount of

00:13:25.179 --> 00:13:26.980
time, especially in the state of Texas as hot

00:13:26.980 --> 00:13:28.679
as it is in the summer. God bless. Go to bed

00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:32.259
early. But my point is now the wife and I are

00:13:32.259 --> 00:13:35.620
free to jump in the car on Wednesday and go someplace

00:13:35.620 --> 00:13:38.200
for two days if we want to. And we have. Yeah.

00:13:39.569 --> 00:13:41.970
But no local visits and stuff. You know what

00:13:41.970 --> 00:13:43.750
I mean? Like going around town and seeing this

00:13:43.750 --> 00:13:45.549
and seeing that. Stuff you never got to see before.

00:13:45.789 --> 00:13:50.009
Like the Perot Museum? Yeah. I went to the National

00:13:50.009 --> 00:13:53.450
Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington on Sunday.

00:13:53.870 --> 00:13:55.929
That's kind of cool. Yeah. That was kind of cool.

00:13:56.070 --> 00:13:57.429
What's that all about then? How long were you

00:13:57.429 --> 00:13:59.129
there? I didn't even know that was out there.

00:13:59.289 --> 00:14:02.070
Yeah, I didn't either. It's kind of new. It's

00:14:02.070 --> 00:14:05.409
less than a year. It's over by the stadiums.

00:14:05.769 --> 00:14:08.350
So it's a biography of every single recipient?

00:14:08.920 --> 00:14:12.659
Actually, a prior work colleague of mine that

00:14:12.659 --> 00:14:14.980
lives in New Jersey, he contacted me some weeks

00:14:14.980 --> 00:14:16.779
ago and said that he was coming to Dallas for

00:14:16.779 --> 00:14:21.200
some meeting or something. And he was going to

00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:24.480
fly in on Sunday morning. And we agreed I was

00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:26.879
going to pick him up at the airport at DFW. We

00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:29.080
would go get a hamburger someplace and then go

00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:32.500
to this museum. And actually, it was his idea.

00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:34.200
I guess he'd saw it on the news or something.

00:14:35.740 --> 00:14:39.940
So, okay, and we got our tickets, which are $30.

00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:42.299
Is that a lot? I thought that was kind of high.

00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:44.419
That seems kind of high for it. Well, it depends.

00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:45.899
I mean, if you look at the facility, it's really

00:14:45.899 --> 00:14:48.659
nice. They got to pay for that shit, right? So

00:14:48.659 --> 00:14:51.419
the Sunday, it was last Sunday, and I texted

00:14:51.419 --> 00:14:53.019
him in the morning. I said, okay, today's the

00:14:53.019 --> 00:14:55.080
day. And he texted me back, and he goes, well,

00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:58.559
I got bad news. My flight is delayed five hours

00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:01.580
because of mechanical issues. Now my landing

00:15:01.580 --> 00:15:05.750
time is 4 .30 p .m. And the museum closes at

00:15:05.750 --> 00:15:09.389
5, so he was not able to go. Right. As I said,

00:15:09.389 --> 00:15:11.590
we had already bought these tickets online. So

00:15:11.590 --> 00:15:14.730
he sent me his e -ticket. He said, you know,

00:15:14.730 --> 00:15:16.610
give this to somebody if you can find somebody.

00:15:18.169 --> 00:15:22.110
I asked my wife if she wanted to go, and she's

00:15:22.110 --> 00:15:26.669
like, I am a hard no. I'd rather stick needles

00:15:26.669 --> 00:15:30.129
in my eyes. I have no interest in this whatsoever.

00:15:30.990 --> 00:15:33.169
So I contacted a handful of other guys. Sean

00:15:33.169 --> 00:15:35.350
being one of them, he wasn't able to go. And

00:15:35.350 --> 00:15:37.230
nobody could go on this short notice. So I went

00:15:37.230 --> 00:15:39.809
by myself. Nothing wrong with that. Yeah. It

00:15:39.809 --> 00:15:41.389
takes a special person to be able to do stuff

00:15:41.389 --> 00:15:44.009
like that. Go by yourself and enjoy eating by

00:15:44.009 --> 00:15:47.590
yourself. That's good. That's confidence. That's

00:15:47.590 --> 00:15:49.470
what you need to do. You know, I kind of actually

00:15:49.470 --> 00:15:53.100
liked going to this museum by myself. You could

00:15:53.100 --> 00:15:55.019
spend as much time as you wanted to. I could

00:15:55.019 --> 00:15:57.419
wander around and go see what I wanted to see.

00:15:57.779 --> 00:16:00.960
Are you like Jeff? Linger and not have to wait

00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:03.759
for some other hanger on. You could even go out

00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:08.340
of order. I was there for two and a half hours.

00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:10.379
Oh, damn. Two and a half hours. Very nice. What's

00:16:10.379 --> 00:16:13.139
a normal time? I don't know. I've never been

00:16:13.139 --> 00:16:15.279
there before. A couple hours, I guess. I mean,

00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:21.360
because you and I were in Alabama. for our jobs,

00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:24.720
and we decided to rendezvous at the USS Alabama.

00:16:25.059 --> 00:16:30.100
That was so fun. In the bay. I want to say we

00:16:30.100 --> 00:16:32.059
were there four to five hours. It was a long

00:16:32.059 --> 00:16:35.919
time. We were there for a very long time, and

00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:38.759
it was probably one of the funnest things I've

00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:41.580
done. in a very, very long time. That was very,

00:16:41.740 --> 00:16:43.440
very interesting. That was very cool. It's easy

00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:46.639
to do. Go ahead. From the museum outside the

00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:49.299
ship, you know, walking, seeing all the MASH

00:16:49.299 --> 00:16:52.120
-style cars from the shows, you know, and the

00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:56.639
vehicles, the tanks, the airplanes, and then

00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:58.879
you... I mean, the airplanes by themselves. You

00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:01.179
can't fathom how... big these things are you

00:17:01.179 --> 00:17:03.519
know it's just like holy crap that thing's huge

00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:05.920
and you go up to its nose and you you take your

00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:08.180
finger and you you put it right on the pointy

00:17:08.180 --> 00:17:10.039
and it's sharp oh no you don't touch you don't

00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:11.839
touch the aircraft and they got the missiles

00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:14.359
that are on there that were you know larry kept

00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:16.039
trying to jar one loose i don't know what the

00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:18.579
story was there was a submarine that we went

00:17:18.579 --> 00:17:23.319
in a sub freaking marine the workmanship that

00:17:24.069 --> 00:17:26.869
in the 40s. The workmanship that occurred. All

00:17:26.869 --> 00:17:29.049
the little rivets everywhere. It was amazing.

00:17:29.430 --> 00:17:32.230
Rosie did it. Rosie the riveter. I'm telling

00:17:32.230 --> 00:17:36.170
you, man. I was in awe. The technology they used

00:17:36.170 --> 00:17:38.430
back there, they made shit work. Oh, yeah, they

00:17:38.430 --> 00:17:42.950
did. The boat itself, when you get onto it, the

00:17:42.950 --> 00:17:45.829
projectiles that they shoot across. Gigantic.

00:17:46.089 --> 00:17:47.970
Oh, my God, they're four foot tall, and they

00:17:47.970 --> 00:17:51.769
show these guys. The torpedoes? No, the projectiles

00:17:51.769 --> 00:17:53.509
that fit in the big cannons. The battleship.

00:17:53.529 --> 00:17:55.450
Oh, the battleship. Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, but

00:17:55.450 --> 00:17:57.750
even the torpedoes, you know, they weren't as

00:17:57.750 --> 00:17:59.569
massive. I mean, actually, they were big vessels,

00:17:59.630 --> 00:18:01.829
but they weren't like, they were just different.

00:18:01.970 --> 00:18:04.470
You know, they were designed to go through the

00:18:04.470 --> 00:18:05.990
walls. Well, I always found it impressive when

00:18:05.990 --> 00:18:10.029
you see this film of these battleships just shooting

00:18:10.029 --> 00:18:14.009
their cannons at the island or whatever they're

00:18:14.009 --> 00:18:16.059
shooting, and it's... I couldn't imagine being

00:18:16.059 --> 00:18:18.859
on that ship. Didn't it rock the ship every time

00:18:18.859 --> 00:18:21.500
the battleships would fire? Yeah, I would imagine.

00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:25.759
I don't care how good your sound dampening headgear

00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:29.240
is. That's going to destroy your ears. You don't

00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:31.559
think those are earplugs? You just went like

00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:34.339
this, stuck your finger in your ears? The boat

00:18:34.339 --> 00:18:37.019
itself, when they would fire those cannons off,

00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:40.480
when the boat is traveling and it's from point

00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:43.700
A to point whatever, trying to go on a straight

00:18:43.700 --> 00:18:46.710
line, When those cannons fire, they veer the

00:18:46.710 --> 00:18:48.490
boat off course. That's what I'm saying. What

00:18:48.490 --> 00:18:51.950
they have to do is they get a blank and put it

00:18:51.950 --> 00:18:54.650
on the opposite side. Because when they fire

00:18:54.650 --> 00:18:57.690
one, they fire another at the same time to create

00:18:57.690 --> 00:19:00.609
that reverse effect. So they fire them in different

00:19:00.609 --> 00:19:03.009
directions. There's a blank on this side, but

00:19:03.009 --> 00:19:05.049
there's a real one on this side. And just the

00:19:05.049 --> 00:19:08.559
whole... turret itself is like three stories.

00:19:08.819 --> 00:19:12.480
It's amazing. It's amazing. The first story,

00:19:12.619 --> 00:19:15.019
they're loading these large pucks. When I say

00:19:15.019 --> 00:19:20.900
large pucks, imagine a wheel of cheese of gunpowder.

00:19:20.900 --> 00:19:23.160
And how far do we want to take it? This one needs

00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:25.799
to go about 22 miles. It's going to take about

00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:27.920
two and a quarter pucks. You got some guy over

00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:30.640
there. He's working it out. He's doing the math

00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:32.579
real quick. And then you got this guy that's

00:19:32.579 --> 00:19:35.019
shaped like a gnome that's four foot from...

00:19:35.420 --> 00:19:37.920
The Ring of... What is that movie? The Lord of

00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:47.000
the Rings? And he's got this projectile and it's

00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:49.339
the size that he is. He's got it by the top and

00:19:49.339 --> 00:19:51.160
he's spinning this thing and he's rolling it.

00:19:51.180 --> 00:19:54.440
This guy was massive. It's a floating city. I

00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:56.519
remember when you and I were touring that thing

00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:01.119
with you and me in our modern computer age minds.

00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:07.799
We were trying to Go back into a 1940s mind.

00:20:08.460 --> 00:20:12.339
No computer, right? It's slide rules and blueprints,

00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:14.980
right? Yeah. And I remember you and I were astonished.

00:20:15.019 --> 00:20:18.200
How in the world were they able to engineer something

00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:21.539
as magnificent as this? I think we talk about

00:20:21.539 --> 00:20:25.519
this thing when we even talk about ancient civilizations.

00:20:25.700 --> 00:20:28.740
They're like aliens. Ancient civilizations are

00:20:28.740 --> 00:20:30.960
like, well, how did they build this? I mean,

00:20:30.980 --> 00:20:32.579
they were smart people back then, too. They were

00:20:32.579 --> 00:20:34.920
smart people. The pyramids, the people who built

00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:37.859
the shit way back then, they were extremely smart,

00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:40.519
and they had techniques that have been potentially

00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:43.160
lost, but they had their ways. And since then,

00:20:43.220 --> 00:20:46.240
it's like the movie Idiocracy. It is. Get me

00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:48.180
in the balls. It's embarrassing. We've become

00:20:48.180 --> 00:20:50.500
stupid. Well, it's because they dump things down,

00:20:50.660 --> 00:20:53.609
though, the way they... And this is done by design.

00:20:53.990 --> 00:20:56.410
It's two things. I don't know if it's done by

00:20:56.410 --> 00:20:58.569
design to keep us dumb, but they try to make

00:20:58.569 --> 00:21:01.630
things easier. It's kind of like repairing a

00:21:01.630 --> 00:21:04.890
Xerox photocopy machine. I'm going to use this

00:21:04.890 --> 00:21:07.430
as an example. From the 80s, they were like,

00:21:07.470 --> 00:21:08.710
oh, you got to go in there and you got to fix

00:21:08.710 --> 00:21:11.150
this one little part. And then you have to have

00:21:11.150 --> 00:21:12.809
a specialized person go in there and figure out

00:21:12.809 --> 00:21:15.529
what that part is. Nowadays, it's kind of like...

00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.000
It's in this region. And they're like, oh, that's

00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:20.119
region five. And they take the whole region five

00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:22.440
out, and they put a whole new region five in,

00:21:22.579 --> 00:21:25.720
and then they leave. Done. It works. So that

00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:27.059
way they don't have to have somebody go in there

00:21:27.059 --> 00:21:29.140
and tinker it. Then they take that module back

00:21:29.140 --> 00:21:30.940
to the office, and they have someone smart looking

00:21:30.940 --> 00:21:34.359
at it. It's fast repair. It's done. People just

00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:36.460
aren't – they don't put people like that. They

00:21:36.460 --> 00:21:38.200
don't have the education. Like, Jeff, your dad,

00:21:38.339 --> 00:21:40.940
he gave you – you got these books out there for

00:21:40.940 --> 00:21:45.039
calculations. Right. We have smart – scientific

00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:48.440
calculators that do those calculations now by

00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:50.819
the click of a button. But those books out there

00:21:50.819 --> 00:21:56.980
and the what is the little God bless it. Slide

00:21:56.980 --> 00:21:59.220
rule. There's a slide rule but I'm thinking of

00:21:59.220 --> 00:22:04.640
the little Chinese abacus style. It was just

00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:07.500
rudimentary. It was old school. It was a floating

00:22:07.500 --> 00:22:11.190
city. Dentist. doctor's office, you know. Huge

00:22:11.190 --> 00:22:14.250
kitchen, dining, galley, whatever they call it.

00:22:14.250 --> 00:22:15.970
You should go visit one of the, if you think

00:22:15.970 --> 00:22:17.990
that's big, go visit one of the aircraft carriers.

00:22:18.650 --> 00:22:21.930
Like four times that size. I will take all day

00:22:21.930 --> 00:22:27.690
to do that. Yeah. The technology room, the communications

00:22:27.690 --> 00:22:31.059
room. They had all these transistor tubes. Dude,

00:22:31.059 --> 00:22:32.940
it is insane. Because you've got to imagine,

00:22:33.019 --> 00:22:34.779
if you're in the front of the ship and you've

00:22:34.779 --> 00:22:38.599
got a gun pointed at something, there are several

00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:42.440
quarter -inch plugs, all right? And they're three

00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:44.279
-conductor, meaning that you've got a microphone

00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:46.799
and headphones. So you can hear someone talking

00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:50.079
to you and you have a voice going out. So they've

00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:53.359
got those wires that are running a half a mile

00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:57.000
to the center of that ship where you've got...

00:22:57.240 --> 00:22:59.740
the person up there, the operator, that takes

00:22:59.740 --> 00:23:02.180
another plug and connects you to the captain

00:23:02.180 --> 00:23:05.200
or whoever's coordinating it to tell you where

00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:07.980
to shoot. Right. Well, even think about the old

00:23:07.980 --> 00:23:10.900
telephone lines where you had the operators changing

00:23:10.900 --> 00:23:15.279
all the fucking plugs. That was even farther

00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:18.259
distance, and you had these huge banks of plugs.

00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:21.420
The rooms were super hot. Then you got Betty

00:23:21.420 --> 00:23:23.220
in the corner. She's like, hey, did you hear

00:23:23.220 --> 00:23:25.119
about Joseph? I was overhearing the phone call.

00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:28.509
He's messing around with his wife again. Those

00:23:28.509 --> 00:23:31.430
old operas, they get the eavesdrop. So to the

00:23:31.430 --> 00:23:34.910
listeners who are listening, if you happen to

00:23:34.910 --> 00:23:37.930
be driving through Mobile, Alabama, and you have

00:23:37.930 --> 00:23:40.309
about, oh, I don't know, four or five hours to

00:23:40.309 --> 00:23:44.029
kill, do stop by the Battleship Alabama and have

00:23:44.029 --> 00:23:46.730
a look. It was less than $30, I think, wasn't

00:23:46.730 --> 00:23:49.769
it? It was way less than that. It was a terrific

00:23:49.769 --> 00:23:51.849
time. It was a good time. And I think we ended

00:23:51.849 --> 00:23:55.269
it by going to the all Apex, all tech. What is

00:23:55.269 --> 00:23:58.339
the? There's the oyster restaurant. After your

00:23:58.339 --> 00:24:03.240
tour of the Battleship Alabama, do go to the

00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:06.059
Acme Oyster Bar. There you go. Acme. Right down

00:24:06.059 --> 00:24:09.640
from... Wile E. Coyote. What was that? Zulu's

00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:12.700
or Zaney's or someplace there on that... Canal?

00:24:13.099 --> 00:24:15.599
Felix's Camp House Fish Stop. I don't remember.

00:24:15.740 --> 00:24:19.039
Be sure and get a dozen broiled oysters. You'll

00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:22.279
be glad you did. Yeah. It was fantastic. Well,

00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:23.980
I'll tell you another museum I think everyone

00:24:23.980 --> 00:24:27.119
should go to is the Air Force Museum at Wright

00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:30.440
-Patterson Air Force Base. You talked about airplanes,

00:24:30.619 --> 00:24:32.980
seeing on the ships and stuff like that. The

00:24:32.980 --> 00:24:36.160
museum in Wright -Patterson, it's the U .S. Air

00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:40.259
Force Museum. They take you from... the Wright

00:24:40.259 --> 00:24:43.079
Brothers all the way to space, and they have

00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:45.940
the actual planes there. They have, I think,

00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:48.920
three or four. Do you get to fly them? Humongous,

00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:50.660
all of them. You get to fly all of them. Where

00:24:50.660 --> 00:24:53.160
is this? It's in Dayton, Ohio, Wright -Patterson

00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:57.460
Air Force Base. Nice. And it's free. It doesn't

00:24:57.460 --> 00:25:01.000
cost a dime to get in there. And you could spend

00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:04.420
easily two full days in there, easy. That's what

00:25:04.420 --> 00:25:06.539
I think people don't realize, that they think.

00:25:06.809 --> 00:25:09.069
Maybe a couple hours. No. Same thing happened

00:25:09.069 --> 00:25:11.849
to me when I went to the Pacific War Museum,

00:25:12.029 --> 00:25:14.769
the Nimitz one in Fredericksburg. Oh, yeah. It's

00:25:14.769 --> 00:25:16.910
awesome. And I walked in, and there was a very

00:25:16.910 --> 00:25:19.730
nice veteran that was greeting people. How much

00:25:19.730 --> 00:25:20.809
time do you have? And I was like, oh, I think

00:25:20.809 --> 00:25:22.410
we've got two hours. And he goes, well, this

00:25:22.410 --> 00:25:25.750
is a two -day museum. Dope. Just like. And he

00:25:25.750 --> 00:25:27.490
goes, since you're only going to be here two

00:25:27.490 --> 00:25:29.170
hours, he had a map already drawn out for the

00:25:29.170 --> 00:25:31.509
people that are like. Losers. Losers. Yeah, seriously.

00:25:31.809 --> 00:25:34.190
Because I had no idea. I was like, what do you

00:25:34.190 --> 00:25:36.819
need to do? Two hours should be plenty. Two days

00:25:36.819 --> 00:25:38.960
is what it takes to go through the whole thing

00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:40.319
if you're going to do it right. Have you guys

00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:42.640
been to the World War II Museum in New Orleans?

00:25:42.700 --> 00:25:45.039
Not yet. I want to do it. That would be awesome.

00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:47.920
That one is really good. These are things that

00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:51.500
I would love to go. So, Larry, if you want to

00:25:51.500 --> 00:25:55.779
spearhead a campaign to go do something like

00:25:55.779 --> 00:25:59.190
that, we could pick it day out of the week. We'll

00:25:59.190 --> 00:26:01.569
put it on the calendar, and collectively, we'll

00:26:01.569 --> 00:26:03.890
make our calendars work and do that. Larry's

00:26:03.890 --> 00:26:06.430
pretty busy. You know what's kind of cool about

00:26:06.430 --> 00:26:10.130
this is they have Air Force One there, the one

00:26:10.130 --> 00:26:14.369
that LBJ flew on back from the Kennedy assassination.

00:26:14.529 --> 00:26:18.670
No way. So that's it right there. He had a picture

00:26:18.670 --> 00:26:23.470
of it. You get to walk through it, and... And

00:26:23.470 --> 00:26:25.670
that's the plane where he was sworn in as president.

00:26:25.690 --> 00:26:28.769
Correct. And they show you where he was. They

00:26:28.769 --> 00:26:30.730
have stuff kind of plexiglassed off the seats

00:26:30.730 --> 00:26:32.990
and stuff like that. Like some hail exposure

00:26:32.990 --> 00:26:37.069
on there. Wasn't Jackie Onassis there with blood

00:26:37.069 --> 00:26:40.130
on her? Yeah. I think they have signs, you know,

00:26:40.150 --> 00:26:43.710
Jackie was sitting here. LBJ was here. Unbelievable.

00:26:43.710 --> 00:26:45.609
And they have different things like that. But

00:26:45.609 --> 00:26:48.890
that's really cool. You walk in one end and you

00:26:48.890 --> 00:26:53.349
go out the other. Not big. It's not like today's

00:26:53.349 --> 00:26:56.309
Air Force One, right? It's pretty small and tight

00:26:56.309 --> 00:26:58.210
and cramped in there. It's still nice for the

00:26:58.210 --> 00:27:06.630
time, but very cool. And they have a Valkyrie

00:27:06.630 --> 00:27:11.750
there. And they only made two. The Valkyrie?

00:27:11.809 --> 00:27:16.549
The Valkyrie. And it is a tremendously large

00:27:16.549 --> 00:27:19.569
jet. And they have one that takes up almost the

00:27:19.569 --> 00:27:23.400
entire fucking hangar. And it's huge. It's like

00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:25.779
a military cargo plane? No. What is it? It's

00:27:25.779 --> 00:27:28.299
a... Actually, my dad was telling me about it.

00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:30.519
That's it right there, the XB -70 Valkyrie. Oh,

00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:33.960
yeah. That's not a cargo plane. No. And... What

00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:36.180
the hell is that thing? Look how wide that thing

00:27:36.180 --> 00:27:37.799
is. Anyway, there it is in the... Is it a bomber?

00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:41.599
I don't know. They made two. One of them crashed,

00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:43.599
and then they parked the other one at the Air

00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:46.640
Force Museum. It's the plant of... It is. ...nuclear

00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:49.400
-armed, deep -penetration, supersonic, strategic

00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:51.900
bomber. It is a bomber. But that is... That is

00:27:51.900 --> 00:27:54.279
very cool to see. A deep penetrator. But it never

00:27:54.279 --> 00:27:57.579
was used in action, of course. Oh, he never nuclear

00:27:57.579 --> 00:28:00.200
bombed somebody. Well, he can drop normal bombs,

00:28:00.299 --> 00:28:02.799
conventional bombs. Speaking of, they have Boxcar

00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:06.880
there, which is the plane that dropped Nagasaki.

00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:11.720
Ooh. So they also have a Fatboy and Little Man

00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:15.480
bomb there. So you could stand next to the atom

00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:17.200
bombs, so you could see how large they were.

00:28:17.660 --> 00:28:20.559
They're huge. And those were dropped by the...

00:28:21.570 --> 00:28:25.329
The B -52? Yeah, I think the B -52. The big silver

00:28:25.329 --> 00:28:28.329
nose, right? You know what I'm talking about?

00:28:28.390 --> 00:28:30.609
It had all the windows. What did it look like?

00:28:30.750 --> 00:28:33.690
Yeah, it was a B -52 bomber. What did it look

00:28:33.690 --> 00:28:36.049
like, Mr. Producer? The plane that dropped the

00:28:36.049 --> 00:28:41.420
little boy. Well, it was a boxcar. Boxcar did...

00:28:41.420 --> 00:28:44.839
Enola Gay, there it is. Enola Gay did the Hiroshima.

00:28:44.980 --> 00:28:49.480
Boxcar did... B -29. The Nagasaki. And that's

00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:51.279
actually at the museum right there. Yeah, the

00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:55.220
B -52s were these huge bombers that they had

00:28:55.220 --> 00:28:58.720
these turrets all over it. Those things could

00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:01.059
fly through anything. They could be shot to hell

00:29:01.059 --> 00:29:03.599
and still make it. They still use them. Yeah.

00:29:03.619 --> 00:29:05.680
They're still in use. That's crazy, isn't it?

00:29:05.779 --> 00:29:08.410
Believe it or not, yes. The B -52. Some of the

00:29:08.410 --> 00:29:11.170
technology they have is just... Stratofortress.

00:29:11.650 --> 00:29:14.470
I have a general question about museums for you

00:29:14.470 --> 00:29:19.470
boys. Okay. Shoot. And I'll tell you why I'm

00:29:19.470 --> 00:29:23.069
asking this. At the Medal of Honor Museum in

00:29:23.069 --> 00:29:28.049
Arlington, Texas, there were displays of, I guess,

00:29:28.069 --> 00:29:32.529
about 25 guys that had won the... Not won, but

00:29:32.529 --> 00:29:35.589
had earned... Awarded. Had earned the Medal of

00:29:35.589 --> 00:29:38.460
Honor. Sure. Right. By the way, there's about

00:29:38.460 --> 00:29:42.339
4 ,000 medalists and about half of those are

00:29:42.339 --> 00:29:47.880
Civil War guys. I read about some of these Civil

00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:49.980
War guys and a lot of them, they got the Medal

00:29:49.980 --> 00:29:53.599
of Honor for picking up the flag after the flag

00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:55.960
bearer got shot and dropped the flag and the

00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:58.119
other guy picked it up and continued charging.

00:29:58.200 --> 00:30:00.619
So he got the Medal of Honor for this. A lot

00:30:00.619 --> 00:30:03.500
of the World War II guys and Vietnam guys got

00:30:03.500 --> 00:30:05.779
the Medal of Honor for jumping on live grenades.

00:30:06.220 --> 00:30:09.059
Damn. I think I'd rather pick up the flag, right?

00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:12.500
Right. But that was pretty much a death sentence.

00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:14.160
If you picked up the flag and you were at the

00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:17.920
front of the line. Yeah, you're taken out. Yeah,

00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:21.720
to drop your weapon and do that. The Medal of

00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:26.890
Honor was new then. So I think the 1800s. The

00:30:26.890 --> 00:30:28.509
military kind of gave it out a little more freely

00:30:28.509 --> 00:30:29.910
than they were saying. They were participation

00:30:29.910 --> 00:30:32.890
awards. Well, I don't know if I call them that,

00:30:32.950 --> 00:30:36.430
but that may have been a little easier to obtain

00:30:36.430 --> 00:30:38.670
back then is what you're saying, right? That's

00:30:38.670 --> 00:30:40.670
what I'm saying. Or the threshold wasn't as high

00:30:40.670 --> 00:30:43.049
as it is now. That's right. So was that the point

00:30:43.049 --> 00:30:45.650
you were kind of driving towards? Is it a different

00:30:45.650 --> 00:30:49.799
criteria back then than it is now? I don't know

00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:54.180
what their criteria was then. I don't know what

00:30:54.180 --> 00:30:56.619
the criteria is now. I know a bunch of paperwork

00:30:56.619 --> 00:30:59.759
has to be filled out, but I think it was different

00:30:59.759 --> 00:31:03.039
when they first had this metal versus now. Yeah,

00:31:03.059 --> 00:31:06.079
I would have to imagine that. So at this museum,

00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:12.380
there was a lot of pictures, photographs of...

00:31:13.109 --> 00:31:15.569
things of interest and little plaques to read.

00:31:15.630 --> 00:31:19.029
There was a lot of reading. When I go to a museum,

00:31:19.049 --> 00:31:22.589
I like to see like the real artifact from back

00:31:22.589 --> 00:31:24.230
when, you know what I'm saying? Sure. I don't

00:31:24.230 --> 00:31:26.069
want to see a picture of an artifact. At least

00:31:26.069 --> 00:31:28.589
a replica. I want to see what the real thing

00:31:28.589 --> 00:31:31.650
was. Right. Uh, so I was a little disappointed

00:31:31.650 --> 00:31:34.190
in that and I don't mean to poopoo this museum

00:31:34.190 --> 00:31:37.569
cause it's, it's very interesting. Uh, so my

00:31:37.569 --> 00:31:40.750
question is when you guys go to any kind of a

00:31:40.750 --> 00:31:44.599
museum, what, what do you have in your mind that

00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:48.259
you hope it to be? I think that's what you said.

00:31:48.339 --> 00:31:51.319
You want to see a lot of practical stuff to look

00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:53.500
at. Some fresh popcorn. When you go to the Air

00:31:53.500 --> 00:31:55.660
Force Museum, all you look at are planes. There's

00:31:55.660 --> 00:31:57.380
a lot of reading as well, but they actually have

00:31:57.380 --> 00:31:59.819
the plane to accompany it that you're going to

00:31:59.819 --> 00:32:03.259
read about. Or you go to a natural history museum,

00:32:03.359 --> 00:32:05.700
you see the dinosaurs or the mammoths or the

00:32:05.700 --> 00:32:07.559
bones and stuff like that to look at. There's

00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:10.200
a picture of it up there. That's kind of what

00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:14.029
I think. A representation where, You can touch

00:32:14.029 --> 00:32:18.150
it. You can get into the seats. Like at the Alabama

00:32:18.150 --> 00:32:21.829
thing, I sat down in a gunner seat. Larry laid

00:32:21.829 --> 00:32:24.210
down on one of the cots, tried to go to sleep

00:32:24.210 --> 00:32:27.170
in the quarters where the men. Did you guys happen

00:32:27.170 --> 00:32:30.309
to step over a velvet rope when you did this?

00:32:30.450 --> 00:32:33.009
No. Oh, okay. They encouraged it. You can go

00:32:33.009 --> 00:32:35.329
anywhere. They're just like, come on, Sean, spoon

00:32:35.329 --> 00:32:37.029
with me. I was like, no, no, no, no, no. This

00:32:37.029 --> 00:32:38.390
isn't like the real thing. They're like, Sarah,

00:32:38.470 --> 00:32:42.190
can you get off the cot, please? it was amazing

00:32:42.190 --> 00:32:45.630
for example i went to the uh president george

00:32:45.630 --> 00:32:49.049
bush presidential library on smu camp have you

00:32:49.049 --> 00:32:51.150
guys been i want to go to that too it's kind

00:32:51.150 --> 00:32:54.309
of disappointing because it's it's not like okay

00:32:54.309 --> 00:32:56.869
something famous happened and here's an art you

00:32:56.869 --> 00:32:58.750
know there's an artifact that's involved with

00:32:58.750 --> 00:33:01.329
this famous thing yeah We don't have it here,

00:33:01.430 --> 00:33:03.950
but here's a giant picture of it. Right. What?

00:33:04.069 --> 00:33:06.190
I can get this on Wikipedia. What are you talking

00:33:06.190 --> 00:33:08.329
about? That's kind of a bum deal there. Sure.

00:33:08.509 --> 00:33:10.069
I mean, a lot of times they have, especially

00:33:10.069 --> 00:33:12.210
for the World War II stuff, they have the movies,

00:33:12.309 --> 00:33:14.710
right? You all sit down in the theater and they

00:33:14.710 --> 00:33:17.849
kind of walk through the battle of the Solomons

00:33:17.849 --> 00:33:21.809
or whatever, and they have footage of that kind

00:33:21.809 --> 00:33:23.670
of shit. So that's cool when they have footage.

00:33:23.849 --> 00:33:27.190
That's kind of like going to a bakery. And they're

00:33:27.190 --> 00:33:28.750
going, yeah, we got all these wonderful cakes.

00:33:28.890 --> 00:33:31.089
And instead of being able to sample a cake, they

00:33:31.089 --> 00:33:33.049
give you a little scratch and sniff. Here, this

00:33:33.049 --> 00:33:34.509
is what it could smell like. This is what it

00:33:34.509 --> 00:33:37.890
smells like. Scratch and sniff. Well, I downloaded

00:33:37.890 --> 00:33:43.289
some different lists of museums. I've downloaded

00:33:43.289 --> 00:33:45.529
the top 10 in the world, top 10 in the United

00:33:45.529 --> 00:33:48.130
States, and the top 10 of Texas. I don't think

00:33:48.130 --> 00:33:49.829
I'm going to go through all the top 10 of the

00:33:49.829 --> 00:33:52.269
world or Texas. I think what I want to do is

00:33:52.269 --> 00:33:54.680
for our dudes like us listeners out there, all

00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:57.000
over, is kind of point out the top 10 in the

00:33:57.000 --> 00:34:00.019
United States. Because look, if you know, you

00:34:00.019 --> 00:34:03.279
know. And we don't know. There's a lot of museums.

00:34:03.299 --> 00:34:05.240
There's a lot of stuff going on out there that

00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:08.320
we just don't know. So I'm going to start with

00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:10.280
the top, the number 10, and I'm going to go down

00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:12.699
the list. And Mr. Producer, I think you have

00:34:12.699 --> 00:34:14.639
a copy over there. Number 10 is the Kennedy Space

00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:17.800
Center Visitor Complex, Merritt Island, Florida.

00:34:18.250 --> 00:34:20.289
I've been there. An exciting destination for

00:34:20.289 --> 00:34:22.909
space enthusiasts offering a glimpse to the world

00:34:22.909 --> 00:34:26.750
of space exploration. Number nine is the Philadelphia

00:34:26.750 --> 00:34:31.230
Museum of Art. Famous for architecture and the

00:34:31.230 --> 00:34:34.389
Rocky Steps. The museum houses a diverse collection

00:34:34.389 --> 00:34:37.190
of arts and artifacts. Number eight, Museum of

00:34:37.190 --> 00:34:41.210
Modern Art in New York City. The MoMA houses

00:34:41.210 --> 00:34:43.070
are renowned. That's the Museum of Modern Art,

00:34:43.090 --> 00:34:47.280
MoMA. It houses a renowned collection of modern

00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:49.099
and contemporary art, including masterpieces

00:34:49.099 --> 00:34:51.760
like the Van Gogh's Starry Night. Number seven,

00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:56.239
the J. Paul Getty Museum in LA. Number six, the

00:34:56.239 --> 00:34:59.300
National World War II Museum in New Orleans.

00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:01.139
Is that what you were referring to? That's so

00:35:01.139 --> 00:35:04.760
good. That just opened not too long ago. I think

00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:07.960
Tom Hanks was a big push on trying to get that

00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:09.820
done. Well, it's been there for about 10 years.

00:35:09.900 --> 00:35:13.239
It started off as the... Higgins Boat Museum

00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:16.820
because those landing craft where the front crashes

00:35:16.820 --> 00:35:20.219
down. There was a guy named Higgins that built

00:35:20.219 --> 00:35:23.019
those in New Orleans. It started as that but

00:35:23.019 --> 00:35:25.559
then evolved into the World War II. Back to PI

00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:29.619
kind of a thing? Higgins? No. There's a lot of

00:35:29.619 --> 00:35:32.900
real life artifacts that you can look at. Is

00:35:32.900 --> 00:35:35.079
New Orleans about five hours away? Five and a

00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:37.480
half hours? No. About eight to ten. Eight to

00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:40.610
ten? I forget. All right, so number five, the

00:35:40.610 --> 00:35:42.250
American Museum of Natural History in New York

00:35:42.250 --> 00:35:43.969
City. I'd like to go to that one. That's where

00:35:43.969 --> 00:35:47.389
Night at the Museum takes place with Ben Stiller.

00:35:48.309 --> 00:35:50.309
There you go. I'd like to go to that one. Do

00:35:50.309 --> 00:35:52.429
they come alive at night? They do. Explore the

00:35:52.429 --> 00:35:54.110
wonders of the natural world from dinosaurs to

00:35:54.110 --> 00:35:56.610
the cosmos with engaging exhibits and planetariums.

00:35:56.610 --> 00:35:58.530
I love planetariums. I enjoy planetariums. I

00:35:58.530 --> 00:36:00.050
used to love that as a kid, man. Which brings

00:36:00.050 --> 00:36:03.030
up the chasm that I want to talk about in a little

00:36:03.030 --> 00:36:06.170
bit. Number four, the National Gallery of Art

00:36:06.170 --> 00:36:09.409
in D .C. D .C. hosts many festivals. different

00:36:09.409 --> 00:36:11.550
museums. So that's one of them. The National

00:36:11.550 --> 00:36:14.150
Gallery of Art. The Smithsonian. So when you

00:36:14.150 --> 00:36:16.289
say art, is it always... I know it's not always

00:36:16.289 --> 00:36:19.190
paintings, but... Sculptures. That's a big part

00:36:19.190 --> 00:36:21.090
of it, right? Sculptures and paintings. Gallery

00:36:21.090 --> 00:36:23.130
features a comprehensive collection of paintings,

00:36:23.289 --> 00:36:26.050
sculptures, decorative arts, and more displayed

00:36:26.050 --> 00:36:29.389
in a beautiful setting. I know sometimes you'll

00:36:29.389 --> 00:36:30.849
see these traveling things, like you'll have

00:36:30.849 --> 00:36:33.309
King Tut down at the Dallas Art Museum. Nice.

00:36:33.329 --> 00:36:35.349
I'd like that one. That'd be cool. Yeah. He was

00:36:35.349 --> 00:36:38.389
in town a few years ago, I think, on a tour.

00:36:39.099 --> 00:36:40.920
The Titanic thing. Yeah, the Titanic. Is that

00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:44.039
still going on? Titanic. Yeah, that still makes

00:36:44.039 --> 00:36:45.539
the rounds. I don't know if it's still around

00:36:45.539 --> 00:36:47.300
here locally, but yeah. It's like the Steve Martin

00:36:47.300 --> 00:36:50.519
song. Had a condom made of stoner. King Tut.

00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:54.920
Exactly. What? Do you guys don't remember that

00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:56.559
song from that song? Yes, we do. What's wrong

00:36:56.559 --> 00:36:58.519
with you guys? Yes, we do. Where do I start?

00:36:58.860 --> 00:37:01.480
Number three, Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago.

00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:04.949
Chicago. Yeah, celebrated for its impressionist

00:37:04.949 --> 00:37:06.929
and post -impressionist collection of art, the

00:37:06.929 --> 00:37:08.769
Institute also boasts a wide range of art from

00:37:08.769 --> 00:37:11.110
various periods of culture, poet periods and

00:37:11.110 --> 00:37:13.449
cultures. Okay. Number two, the Metropolitan

00:37:13.449 --> 00:37:16.369
Museum of Arts in New York City, known as the

00:37:16.369 --> 00:37:18.389
Met, one of the world's largest and finest art

00:37:18.389 --> 00:37:20.670
museums. That is a really great museum. I have

00:37:20.670 --> 00:37:22.190
been to that. It is enormous. Is that the spiral

00:37:22.190 --> 00:37:26.690
one? No, no. And here's a tip for you guys as

00:37:26.690 --> 00:37:28.929
well as the listeners. If you happen to go to

00:37:28.929 --> 00:37:32.840
the Met in New York City. You walk up to the

00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:35.539
ticket booth, and there's a sign up there that

00:37:35.539 --> 00:37:41.440
says, suggested price, $25 a head. Keyword, suggested.

00:37:41.860 --> 00:37:44.599
So everybody assumes, oh, okay, the entry fee

00:37:44.599 --> 00:37:47.760
must be $25 for me to get in here. The fact is,

00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:51.400
it's free. Or you can just, if you want to pay

00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:53.800
$5, you pay $5. You don't have to pay anything.

00:37:53.820 --> 00:37:55.760
So you go up and you go, I'll have two tickets,

00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:58.940
please, and they'll give them to you? Yeah. Yeah.

00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:02.320
And then there's this awkward, like. No, it wasn't.

00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:04.219
Did you have to pay anything to me? No, it really

00:38:04.219 --> 00:38:09.260
wasn't. I gave $5 a head, but I was with four

00:38:09.260 --> 00:38:11.980
people. Right. And she's like, okay, here you

00:38:11.980 --> 00:38:15.519
go. Nice. Okay, makes sense. And that is another

00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:19.980
sculpture painting. Oh, my God. Pottery. Just

00:38:19.980 --> 00:38:21.659
tell them to sell one of the paintings if they

00:38:21.659 --> 00:38:23.920
need some money. There you go. Over 2 million

00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:27.119
works spanning 5 ,000 years of art. That'd probably

00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:28.780
take a couple hours to get through. Oh, easy.

00:38:28.940 --> 00:38:30.860
The coolest thing that I remember in there is

00:38:30.860 --> 00:38:33.619
that giant painting of George Washington crossing

00:38:33.619 --> 00:38:36.179
the Delaware where he's kind of, you know, with

00:38:36.179 --> 00:38:38.679
his fist. That did really good on that wall there.

00:38:38.900 --> 00:38:43.900
That painting is enormous. It's probably. 30

00:38:43.900 --> 00:38:47.780
by 20. Did you see the picture of our grandfathers

00:38:47.780 --> 00:38:53.300
here? That's nice. And the number one, and we

00:38:53.300 --> 00:38:55.719
all know what this one is, right? From Washington,

00:38:55.820 --> 00:38:58.119
D .C.? Oh, yeah. The Smithsonian Institution.

00:38:58.420 --> 00:39:00.059
Well, they need to narrow that down. Oh, yeah.

00:39:00.099 --> 00:39:01.579
The granddaddy of them all. I've actually been

00:39:01.579 --> 00:39:04.039
to that one. Well, the Smithsonian is about six

00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:07.659
or seven different. Right. It's a vast complex

00:39:07.659 --> 00:39:10.039
of museums and research centers. The Smithsonian

00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:11.880
offers something for everyone with a diverse

00:39:11.880 --> 00:39:14.679
collection. All right. A little technical glitch

00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:16.219
there. We'll fix that. All right. So you were

00:39:16.219 --> 00:39:19.659
talking about the Louvre. Your Louvre. The Louvre

00:39:19.659 --> 00:39:23.519
in Paris, France. It's like a little K -Y jelly

00:39:23.519 --> 00:39:27.380
middle. It's a famous art museum. Oh. You heathen.

00:39:27.380 --> 00:39:29.960
Maybe you've heard of this. My bad. Sorry. Yes.

00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:32.099
But no, I was just going to comment that I've

00:39:32.099 --> 00:39:34.920
been to a number of... art museums before and

00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:39.159
after about 15 minutes okay i'm done well i've

00:39:39.159 --> 00:39:41.519
also i think there's there's some very impressive

00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:45.320
things but then you know like like the mona lisa

00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:47.880
you know my wife went there and she goes yeah

00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:50.039
the thing is actually very small for one thing

00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:52.079
and you got a thousand people around it that

00:39:52.079 --> 00:39:54.360
want to look at it and you're like okay were

00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:56.280
they trying to glue their hands to it well they're

00:39:56.280 --> 00:39:58.539
trying to take pictures of it i'm like just look

00:39:58.539 --> 00:40:00.739
at it online are you ever going to look at it

00:40:00.739 --> 00:40:03.739
on your phone You're not allowed to, I don't

00:40:03.739 --> 00:40:05.119
think. You're not allowed to take your phone

00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:06.519
out and take pictures of it. They don't want

00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:11.719
flashes of it. I don't know. You can take a picture

00:40:11.719 --> 00:40:16.820
of it. You just can't use a flash. Yeah. I guess

00:40:16.820 --> 00:40:21.019
I don't have much of... Appreciation. An education

00:40:21.019 --> 00:40:24.280
on art and an appreciation of art. So, you know.

00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:26.099
I don't know anything about it. I know the standard,

00:40:26.260 --> 00:40:28.559
you know. The first painting looks like the 50th

00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:30.639
one. You know, the Monet, the Van Gogh. I know

00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:33.260
some of those. I'd like to see him look at it.

00:40:33.300 --> 00:40:35.420
Look, there are masterpieces, some of them. Sure.

00:40:35.460 --> 00:40:37.699
I mean, when you go and look. You can get really

00:40:37.699 --> 00:40:39.579
close. I kind of get caught up in the Ferris

00:40:39.579 --> 00:40:43.400
Bueller days where they're at the museum out

00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:45.659
there in Chicago, and they're zooming in really

00:40:45.659 --> 00:40:48.079
close to this picture. I don't know if you recall

00:40:48.079 --> 00:40:50.460
which one I'm referring to. But it's just like

00:40:50.460 --> 00:40:54.760
they're so talented, those artists. It's just

00:40:54.760 --> 00:40:56.800
crazy. You have to have an appreciation for it,

00:40:56.840 --> 00:40:58.699
for sure. I don't necessarily have an appreciation

00:40:58.699 --> 00:41:01.099
for it, but I would like to see if I did. I'd

00:41:01.099 --> 00:41:03.039
like to go there and see if I can get bored.

00:41:03.179 --> 00:41:04.880
I know if I was younger, I probably wouldn't

00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:07.519
have it. But now? We need to put this on the

00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:10.000
bucket list. Yeah, where is Michelangelo's David?

00:41:10.699 --> 00:41:14.320
I'd like to see that. That is in Florence, Italy.

00:41:14.579 --> 00:41:16.539
Is that where that's at? Okay. I think that'd

00:41:16.539 --> 00:41:19.039
be, I think the sculptures. That's quite a stretch

00:41:19.039 --> 00:41:21.900
for our podcast. Yeah. Excursion. Although if

00:41:21.900 --> 00:41:24.039
any of our listeners wants to sponsor. Because

00:41:24.039 --> 00:41:28.179
I find it outside of the penis. I find it interesting

00:41:28.179 --> 00:41:32.360
how by hand they can carve that out of marble.

00:41:34.219 --> 00:41:36.340
Did you just say penis? Yeah, there's a penis

00:41:36.340 --> 00:41:38.659
hanging right there. You used the P word. We

00:41:38.659 --> 00:41:41.099
don't use the P word. But the attention, okay,

00:41:41.239 --> 00:41:49.320
prick. You're saying the details going into the

00:41:49.320 --> 00:41:52.139
carving the veins on the penis. Well, I'm not

00:41:52.139 --> 00:41:55.280
going to call that out. Please don't show me.

00:41:55.320 --> 00:41:59.679
The amount of detail that some of these sculptors

00:41:59.679 --> 00:42:03.940
could get. With their hand and a chisel. He's

00:42:03.940 --> 00:42:07.780
got quite the merkin. And out of marble. It's

00:42:07.780 --> 00:42:10.039
amazing, yes. It's amazing. You know, and I've

00:42:10.039 --> 00:42:12.079
seen even more detailed. I mean, look at the

00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:15.099
hands. I mean, how long did it take him to get

00:42:15.099 --> 00:42:18.099
that detail? Pretty damn real looking. So if

00:42:18.099 --> 00:42:22.539
you take your pinky and you raise it up, okay,

00:42:22.699 --> 00:42:25.519
and specifically your pinky, it makes a little

00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:28.619
string of muscle that pops out on the back of

00:42:28.619 --> 00:42:33.360
your forearm. They capture that. I mean, it's

00:42:33.360 --> 00:42:36.900
just, it's an incredible talent to be able to

00:42:36.900 --> 00:42:39.539
do that and to know it's there, you know, and

00:42:39.539 --> 00:42:43.079
to capture all the veins going in the feet. And

00:42:43.079 --> 00:42:47.179
imagine when they are crafting these blankets

00:42:47.179 --> 00:42:51.820
or these silk covers over people where you could

00:42:51.820 --> 00:42:54.059
see the feature under it. Oh, yeah, yes. That's

00:42:54.059 --> 00:42:58.019
amazing. I think as art goes, I'm with you, Jay.

00:42:58.059 --> 00:43:00.179
It seems like being a sculptor would be way more

00:43:00.179 --> 00:43:02.659
difficult than being a painter. I would agree.

00:43:02.860 --> 00:43:05.280
I would think because if you fuck God, like shit,

00:43:05.300 --> 00:43:07.219
his head just fell off. I didn't realize how

00:43:07.219 --> 00:43:09.380
big it is. Hold on. There's a woman like reaching

00:43:09.380 --> 00:43:11.280
over to do something. I had no idea it was that

00:43:11.280 --> 00:43:15.239
big. It's huge. It is ginormous. And it's everything's

00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:20.039
in proportion. He's hung. In proportion. You

00:43:20.039 --> 00:43:24.019
know, the head, the torso. I thought the testes

00:43:24.019 --> 00:43:26.059
were a little small. You guys are focused on

00:43:26.059 --> 00:43:28.300
the pain, just like you were when you looked

00:43:28.300 --> 00:43:30.960
at the Carpenters video. I took an art appreciation

00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:33.599
class in college, and the only thing that I remember

00:43:33.599 --> 00:43:36.219
from it was the guy said, when you're looking

00:43:36.219 --> 00:43:43.000
at a painting, and of course, if it is of a person,

00:43:43.059 --> 00:43:46.860
look at the person's hands. Look at that. If

00:43:46.860 --> 00:43:52.059
somehow the artist... tries to hide the person's

00:43:52.059 --> 00:43:55.239
hand by tucking it under a blanket or in a coat

00:43:55.239 --> 00:43:58.619
or something like that. Typically, that painter

00:43:58.619 --> 00:44:01.639
is not very skilled because painting human hands

00:44:01.639 --> 00:44:04.719
is the most difficult part of the portrait. Can

00:44:04.719 --> 00:44:06.480
you imagine carving it? Did you see the close

00:44:06.480 --> 00:44:09.119
-up that he just had on there of the hands? It's

00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:13.320
perfect. Yeah, that's amazing. They got the vein

00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:17.980
going and the tendons. The fingernail, I don't

00:44:17.980 --> 00:44:20.019
know. I find that, I find sculpture. Cartilage

00:44:20.019 --> 00:44:22.840
in the knuckles. Yeah, I find sculpture more

00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:24.900
interesting than the actual paintings, to me

00:44:24.900 --> 00:44:27.019
anyway. Yeah, I'm with you on that. I read that

00:44:27.019 --> 00:44:30.820
the model stood motionless for four years while

00:44:30.820 --> 00:44:34.219
he was there. Well, he also did, Michael Edgewood

00:44:34.219 --> 00:44:36.219
also did the Sistine Chapel, the ceiling, right?

00:44:36.280 --> 00:44:38.519
I have seen that, and it is unbelievable. Yeah,

00:44:38.559 --> 00:44:41.320
I couldn't imagine. It is unbelievable. Laying

00:44:41.320 --> 00:44:45.980
on his back for years. Yep. Up there, like. Suspended

00:44:45.980 --> 00:44:48.380
or on this... He was on scaffolding, I think.

00:44:48.940 --> 00:44:51.420
Crickety scaffold. I think he had balloons. Just

00:44:51.420 --> 00:44:55.000
kind of helium balloons. Very nice. That was...

00:44:55.000 --> 00:45:00.179
Who did that? Same guy? Is that... Michelangelo.

00:45:00.239 --> 00:45:03.119
No, who did the balloon? Who's the guy that dropped

00:45:03.119 --> 00:45:05.599
the feathers off the Ling Tower pizza? Galileo.

00:45:05.820 --> 00:45:07.960
Did Galileo come up with the balloons? Who invented

00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:09.780
the balloons? What are you talking about? Da

00:45:09.780 --> 00:45:11.960
Vinci? Was it Da Vinci that did the hot air balloons?

00:45:12.179 --> 00:45:14.170
Yeah. Yeah, Da Vinci was another one. He was

00:45:14.170 --> 00:45:16.869
even before this. He did all sorts of stuff.

00:45:16.869 --> 00:45:21.309
Yeah, he was an inventor, and he studied the

00:45:21.309 --> 00:45:26.050
human body. He had the Vitruvian man, the famous

00:45:26.050 --> 00:45:28.710
one that he made, and he studied the anatomy

00:45:28.710 --> 00:45:30.389
and everything, so he could get his paintings

00:45:30.389 --> 00:45:31.889
right. Is that the guy in the circle? Yeah, with

00:45:31.889 --> 00:45:34.150
all the arms and the legs and everything, the

00:45:34.150 --> 00:45:39.929
Vitruvian man. Jeff, I think your lava lamp is

00:45:39.929 --> 00:45:42.690
taking quite some time. Your scrotum fell. Yeah,

00:45:42.690 --> 00:45:44.389
my scrotum dropped. Is that what just happened?

00:45:44.489 --> 00:45:46.070
Yeah, the scrotum dropped. It's more of a butt

00:45:46.070 --> 00:45:49.610
plug. I mean, I've never really seen one. Only

00:45:49.610 --> 00:45:55.210
in videos. Very short videos. 15 seconds. I always

00:45:55.210 --> 00:45:57.369
want to see a real butt plug. I don't want to

00:45:57.369 --> 00:46:00.829
see pictures of a butt plug. Yeah, same deal.

00:46:01.250 --> 00:46:04.030
Sean will bring one next time. That's what you

00:46:04.030 --> 00:46:07.610
look at. I have a very small butthole. I don't

00:46:07.610 --> 00:46:11.099
think it would take a whole lot. What the hell,

00:46:11.139 --> 00:46:14.920
man? I mean... We go from Mona Lisa to your butthole?

00:46:15.019 --> 00:46:16.599
How did that happen? God bless. I'll probably

00:46:16.599 --> 00:46:20.099
edit that one out. I have a very small butt.

00:46:20.159 --> 00:46:22.360
Yes. You know, speaking of places where, you

00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:24.179
know, buttholes can be in danger, how about the

00:46:24.179 --> 00:46:27.980
alligator alcatraz? What is your thoughts on

00:46:27.980 --> 00:46:31.139
that? You know what? I'm not exactly sure what

00:46:31.139 --> 00:46:33.360
the deal is on that. I mean, so they built it

00:46:33.360 --> 00:46:35.579
in the middle of nowhere, and the idea was if

00:46:35.579 --> 00:46:37.159
you even escape from this thing, you're going

00:46:37.159 --> 00:46:40.380
to be obviously eaten by alligators because it's

00:46:40.380 --> 00:46:42.199
like swamp land for miles and miles and miles.

00:46:43.239 --> 00:46:45.039
What's the story behind it? I think this is a

00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:49.019
detention center where they're going to put people

00:46:49.019 --> 00:46:52.659
until they have their due process, right, and

00:46:52.659 --> 00:46:57.269
before they're deported. That's what they're

00:46:57.269 --> 00:46:59.909
going to do with it. But it was an airport. It

00:46:59.909 --> 00:47:02.090
was a training airport. Yeah. So there was an

00:47:02.090 --> 00:47:05.289
existing runway and a few little rickety. You

00:47:05.289 --> 00:47:08.230
can pull it up on Google Maps or Google Earth

00:47:08.230 --> 00:47:10.530
or whatever, and you can see it's about 50 miles

00:47:10.530 --> 00:47:14.469
west of Miami. So this thing is a temporary.

00:47:15.030 --> 00:47:18.750
It's a tent. Interesting. Okay. It's a canvas

00:47:18.750 --> 00:47:22.489
tent with cages inside. Okay. All right. So this

00:47:22.489 --> 00:47:25.769
was temporary housing. that DeSantis said, you

00:47:25.769 --> 00:47:30.409
know, hey, you can keep these guys here. Yeah,

00:47:30.429 --> 00:47:32.030
it's in the middle of nowhere. We're surrounded

00:47:32.030 --> 00:47:35.349
by alligators and the Everglades, and it's nasty,

00:47:35.409 --> 00:47:38.090
and there's miles and miles and miles. If anyone

00:47:38.090 --> 00:47:39.710
escapes, they're probably not going to make it.

00:47:39.789 --> 00:47:42.250
It almost seems like another PR move, right?

00:47:42.349 --> 00:47:44.230
You know how when they were sending people to

00:47:44.230 --> 00:47:47.289
El Salvador and they showed this beautiful, massive,

00:47:47.409 --> 00:47:50.710
scary -looking detention center, right? And so

00:47:50.710 --> 00:47:53.030
this is just another one of those. It's a big

00:47:53.030 --> 00:47:57.150
detention center. Look, they wanted a place to

00:47:57.150 --> 00:47:59.289
put people. It was on the list. Hey, let's figure

00:47:59.289 --> 00:48:02.130
this out. They had a property, and they just

00:48:02.130 --> 00:48:03.889
repurposed it. It's like, why not? Let's put

00:48:03.889 --> 00:48:06.750
them out there. I think they were shipped into

00:48:06.750 --> 00:48:10.309
Guantanamo, and they were all up in arms about

00:48:10.309 --> 00:48:12.809
that. Right. So now they're like, all right,

00:48:12.869 --> 00:48:15.409
well, we're going to do this. Keep them here

00:48:15.409 --> 00:48:17.969
locally in a place that is, you know, if they

00:48:17.969 --> 00:48:20.360
escape, it's going to be problematic. They're

00:48:20.360 --> 00:48:23.519
not going to be there for years. No. It's going

00:48:23.519 --> 00:48:25.579
to be, you know, short term. They're in a room

00:48:25.579 --> 00:48:28.159
with, you know, bunk beds and, you know, the

00:48:28.159 --> 00:48:30.719
Debbie, what's her name? Wasserman. Wasserman,

00:48:30.840 --> 00:48:35.420
whatever the fuck her name is, is just trying

00:48:35.420 --> 00:48:39.219
to make this thing, you know, a human rights.

00:48:39.280 --> 00:48:41.719
And I'm thinking, well, what do you think a jail

00:48:41.719 --> 00:48:45.420
should be? Right? Well, they have these little

00:48:45.420 --> 00:48:47.579
toilets that are part of a sink and they brush

00:48:47.579 --> 00:48:49.920
their teeth. Well, yes, that's what a jail is.

00:48:50.059 --> 00:48:53.679
And I brush my teeth next to where I poop. Yeah,

00:48:53.780 --> 00:48:57.500
everybody does. Everybody does that. Unless you're

00:48:57.500 --> 00:49:02.199
a bazillionaire. Yeah, and that's what you do.

00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:04.420
And she's trying to make this thing sound. way

00:49:04.420 --> 00:49:06.500
worse way worse than it is debbie schultz was

00:49:06.500 --> 00:49:08.800
was making it sound way oh yes she was trying

00:49:08.800 --> 00:49:12.320
to all the democrats are freaking they're all

00:49:12.320 --> 00:49:14.400
taking whatever opportunity they can to make

00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:16.880
it look like it's the most inhumane well asc

00:49:16.880 --> 00:49:19.119
you know ever i mean look there they are right

00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:21.199
there it's a it's a column sitting off the side

00:49:21.199 --> 00:49:23.320
of the wall it's got a shitter on the bottom

00:49:23.320 --> 00:49:25.820
and a sink on the top it's functional i think

00:49:25.820 --> 00:49:27.559
it's convenient you can pee while you're while

00:49:27.559 --> 00:49:30.780
you're flossing yes and you're not drinking your

00:49:30.780 --> 00:49:33.409
shit water I think that's what they're trying

00:49:33.409 --> 00:49:35.409
to. Or out of the toilet. Yeah, you're not. I

00:49:35.409 --> 00:49:38.289
mean, it's clean water coming in. Just like you

00:49:38.289 --> 00:49:39.809
could drink the water out of the tank of your

00:49:39.809 --> 00:49:41.940
toilet if you really wanted to. Yeah, it all

00:49:41.940 --> 00:49:44.300
comes from the same pipe that comes into your

00:49:44.300 --> 00:49:46.340
house. My dog does it. Yeah, I mean, you can

00:49:46.340 --> 00:49:49.199
out of the tank. Once it hits the bowl, you know,

00:49:49.320 --> 00:49:52.539
it's problematic. But, you know, the question

00:49:52.539 --> 00:49:54.579
needs to go, okay, Debbie, what do you think

00:49:54.579 --> 00:49:56.719
a prison should look like? What should a jail

00:49:56.719 --> 00:49:59.599
look like? What amenities should they have? They're

00:49:59.599 --> 00:50:01.699
just taking a shot at trying to make the Trump

00:50:01.699 --> 00:50:04.420
administration seem savage. Well, they are, but

00:50:04.420 --> 00:50:08.760
I think it's actually... helping deter some of

00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:10.739
these people to self -deport because she's saying

00:50:10.739 --> 00:50:13.579
how bad and terrible this place is. And people

00:50:13.579 --> 00:50:16.099
are going, maybe I don't want to be sent to this

00:50:16.099 --> 00:50:18.320
place. Maybe I do need to self -deport. I have

00:50:18.320 --> 00:50:21.380
a cousin that works for a company that does some

00:50:21.380 --> 00:50:24.099
kind of building material. I'm not entirely clear

00:50:24.099 --> 00:50:25.239
of what it is. So I can buy that from my house.

00:50:26.340 --> 00:50:31.840
And he went there. He went to Alligator Alcatraz.

00:50:31.940 --> 00:50:33.480
And I asked him, I said, well, how was it? He

00:50:33.480 --> 00:50:36.530
goes, man. It is really hot and there's a lot

00:50:36.530 --> 00:50:39.230
of mosquitoes. And he said they're not going

00:50:39.230 --> 00:50:42.070
to make a fence around the compound like a typical

00:50:42.070 --> 00:50:44.949
prison would have with the coiled barbed wire

00:50:44.949 --> 00:50:47.090
at the top. Yeah. They're not putting a fence

00:50:47.090 --> 00:50:50.489
because, dude, they know where to go. Yeah. You

00:50:50.489 --> 00:50:52.650
choose to escape. You're on your own. There's

00:50:52.650 --> 00:50:55.849
one road in and one road out. Why was your friend

00:50:55.849 --> 00:50:58.349
there? It was my cousin. He works for a company

00:50:58.349 --> 00:51:00.570
that was doing something with the construction

00:51:00.570 --> 00:51:04.070
or I'm not entirely sure. What his company is

00:51:04.070 --> 00:51:05.510
doing. Chuck, go back down the street view. He

00:51:05.510 --> 00:51:07.130
went there. That sign said something. Great dude.

00:51:08.650 --> 00:51:10.630
And it is literally in the middle of nowhere.

00:51:11.090 --> 00:51:14.349
Yeah, I mean, that's the point. They're a Dade

00:51:14.349 --> 00:51:17.730
Collier. That's the point. You know, if they

00:51:17.730 --> 00:51:19.789
happen to get out of there, they're either taking

00:51:19.789 --> 00:51:21.769
the road, which I'm sure there's checkpoints,

00:51:21.929 --> 00:51:25.929
or they're trying to cross swampland for miles.

00:51:26.030 --> 00:51:28.469
Extra convenience, there is an airstrip right

00:51:28.469 --> 00:51:31.250
there, so they can be deported or brought in

00:51:31.250 --> 00:51:33.750
very conveniently. I don't know. I don't see

00:51:33.750 --> 00:51:35.650
what the hubbub is out. Who cares? It's just

00:51:35.650 --> 00:51:38.489
a prison. Alcatraz was kind of similar. They

00:51:38.489 --> 00:51:40.329
didn't do shit about that. I wouldn't even consider

00:51:40.329 --> 00:51:43.469
this a prison. This is a detainment center just

00:51:43.469 --> 00:51:47.409
like they have down in South Texas where they

00:51:47.409 --> 00:51:51.349
have these big buildings where they house 20

00:51:51.349 --> 00:51:54.239
people to a big room. It's the same thing. He

00:51:54.239 --> 00:51:56.460
just got all sorts of hubbub in the news. It

00:51:56.460 --> 00:51:58.659
doesn't mean that AOC isn't going to go cry there

00:51:58.659 --> 00:52:01.460
at the fence. I think the fact that Trump did

00:52:01.460 --> 00:52:03.579
it and the name they're giving it, alligator,

00:52:03.880 --> 00:52:06.679
Alcatraz. Oh, it sounds so fantastic. Trump is

00:52:06.679 --> 00:52:10.159
just pushing their buttons and they are biting

00:52:10.159 --> 00:52:12.599
at it. And like you said, he's trying to drum

00:52:12.599 --> 00:52:15.579
up. People being scared to be sent there. Yeah.

00:52:15.880 --> 00:52:17.880
Scared straight, right? Self -deport. You won't

00:52:17.880 --> 00:52:20.099
go there. Self -deport. You won't have to experience

00:52:20.099 --> 00:52:23.179
this. Well, I'm not super, I mean, I'm happy

00:52:23.179 --> 00:52:25.380
with this, but I'm not happy with some of the

00:52:25.380 --> 00:52:28.460
other stuff that's going on with us bombing Iran

00:52:28.460 --> 00:52:32.780
and building bases in Israel. I mean, I didn't

00:52:32.780 --> 00:52:35.260
vote for any of that stuff. You know, I thought

00:52:35.260 --> 00:52:37.739
we were going to stop all this war shit. You

00:52:37.739 --> 00:52:40.860
know? I have my opinions about what we should

00:52:40.860 --> 00:52:42.619
be focusing on. I don't want to talk about it

00:52:42.619 --> 00:52:46.000
right now, but we need to make our country good.

00:52:46.619 --> 00:52:49.559
I don't want to be bombing them. Why did we need

00:52:49.559 --> 00:52:53.000
to bomb Iran? To keep them from developing a

00:52:53.000 --> 00:52:57.159
nuclear weapon. Yeah. That's problematic. That's

00:52:57.159 --> 00:52:59.659
problematic. Yeah, but why did we have to do

00:52:59.659 --> 00:53:03.719
it? Because nobody else has those bombs. That's

00:53:03.719 --> 00:53:06.239
right. We are the only ones who had them. The

00:53:06.239 --> 00:53:08.360
bunker buster bombs, yes. I don't know, man.

00:53:08.619 --> 00:53:12.460
Iran having a nuclear weapon and potentially

00:53:12.460 --> 00:53:15.760
using it in the future would disrupt the entire

00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:19.880
Middle East. And when that happens, oil gets

00:53:19.880 --> 00:53:22.710
off. screwed up. I agree. That's what it's all

00:53:22.710 --> 00:53:24.670
about. They don't need Iran having the bomb,

00:53:24.769 --> 00:53:27.849
but I just didn't want us to do it. I let somebody

00:53:27.849 --> 00:53:30.130
else do it. I'm tired of fighting other people's

00:53:30.130 --> 00:53:32.309
wars. I'm tired of paying money to do that kind

00:53:32.309 --> 00:53:35.090
of stuff. Let's stay the hell out of... We're

00:53:35.090 --> 00:53:37.909
going to go to arms with Ukraine right now. We're

00:53:37.909 --> 00:53:41.110
with Ukraine. We're about to join in with them

00:53:41.110 --> 00:53:45.210
to prevent Putin. I think we're selling them

00:53:45.210 --> 00:53:51.289
weapons. Wait a minute. Trump is selling weapons

00:53:51.289 --> 00:53:56.309
to nato so we get revenue from those sales and

00:53:56.309 --> 00:53:59.329
nato is going to give this to ukraine and you're

00:53:59.329 --> 00:54:02.829
only starking it yeah and he's good it's tony

00:54:02.829 --> 00:54:04.630
starking it and he's telling and he's telling

00:54:04.630 --> 00:54:07.710
europe you need to do this so we don't have to

00:54:07.710 --> 00:54:09.829
and you're starting to step up it's in your backyard

00:54:10.639 --> 00:54:13.059
And Europe is agreeing with them at this point.

00:54:13.159 --> 00:54:14.980
He's actually getting them to do what they should

00:54:14.980 --> 00:54:17.099
be doing, which is building up their defense,

00:54:17.219 --> 00:54:20.519
spending more money on their defense, and being

00:54:20.519 --> 00:54:23.960
ready for war as a deterrent. This is all a deterrent.

00:54:23.980 --> 00:54:27.039
We've got some stuff that we've built up with

00:54:27.039 --> 00:54:30.239
Ukraine as far as one of the agreements that

00:54:30.239 --> 00:54:32.440
we have with their precious metals and some of

00:54:32.440 --> 00:54:33.900
their natural minerals that they have there.

00:54:34.039 --> 00:54:35.940
And so, yeah, we have an invested interest that

00:54:35.940 --> 00:54:38.159
we want to protect. So, yeah, with that, maybe

00:54:38.159 --> 00:54:40.510
we ought to... I don't know. Are you going to

00:54:40.510 --> 00:54:42.190
have boots on the ground to protect those areas?

00:54:42.809 --> 00:54:44.829
Or are we just going to take their overall proceeds

00:54:44.829 --> 00:54:47.090
of what they're selling their ship for? I don't

00:54:47.090 --> 00:54:49.710
think that was Trump's motivation. I mean, yes,

00:54:50.050 --> 00:54:52.070
he wants the precious metals simply because he

00:54:52.070 --> 00:54:53.929
wants some sort of compensation for everything

00:54:53.929 --> 00:54:56.369
we've given to them. Got to have a deal. Yeah,

00:54:56.389 --> 00:54:58.389
he needs some deal to like it. We're giving him

00:54:58.389 --> 00:55:01.570
billions in weaponry, right? So he's like, okay,

00:55:01.650 --> 00:55:02.949
well, then we should get some of your precious

00:55:02.949 --> 00:55:05.250
metals, which is a contentious issue with China

00:55:05.250 --> 00:55:07.289
right now. I think the biggest thing is he's

00:55:07.289 --> 00:55:09.739
trying to get Putin to stop. The aggression,

00:55:09.980 --> 00:55:14.300
right? And Putin is playing him. I think Putin

00:55:14.300 --> 00:55:17.440
realizes he's near the end of his life and this

00:55:17.440 --> 00:55:20.739
is his legacy. And if he backed off now, he'd

00:55:20.739 --> 00:55:22.659
be seen. It's going to look bad. In Russia, he'd

00:55:22.659 --> 00:55:25.920
be seen as a big P. Yep. He'd be weak. I don't

00:55:25.920 --> 00:55:29.219
think so. That may be his thought process. In

00:55:29.219 --> 00:55:31.900
his mind, it might be right. But I think that

00:55:31.900 --> 00:55:33.619
the people in Russia probably don't agree with

00:55:33.619 --> 00:55:35.280
that. I think the people there would be like,

00:55:35.380 --> 00:55:38.449
hallelujah, he's done. Correct. I think you may

00:55:38.449 --> 00:55:43.550
be right, but him and probably a lot of his senior

00:55:43.550 --> 00:55:47.050
military folks, you know, the hardcore Russian

00:55:47.050 --> 00:55:49.829
folks are in on this. I would agree. I think

00:55:49.829 --> 00:55:51.989
it's split. It's probably split in that country.

00:55:52.110 --> 00:55:54.789
They see him as strong, and they love the fact

00:55:54.789 --> 00:55:57.489
that he wants to reunite the mother country and,

00:55:57.570 --> 00:55:59.389
you know, Russia, Russia, Russia, right? One

00:55:59.389 --> 00:56:02.670
thing I saw, because, you know, Russia just obliterated.

00:56:02.960 --> 00:56:06.860
some Ukraine with 700 drones, right? Right. And

00:56:06.860 --> 00:56:09.719
I heard on the radio today, there was a guy who,

00:56:09.739 --> 00:56:13.000
he's over there on the ground, and these drones,

00:56:13.079 --> 00:56:14.960
and the guy asks, he goes, well, don't they have,

00:56:14.960 --> 00:56:17.739
you know, radio jammers to make these so they

00:56:17.739 --> 00:56:21.039
can lose control? He's like, yeah, well, while

00:56:21.039 --> 00:56:23.239
they've gotten around that, it's fiber optics.

00:56:23.900 --> 00:56:26.940
What they're doing is they're tying a fiber optic

00:56:26.940 --> 00:56:29.079
to all of these drones, and they have spools

00:56:29.079 --> 00:56:32.800
of miles of fiber optics, and they can go 20

00:56:32.800 --> 00:56:36.500
kilometers trailing this fiber optic as this

00:56:36.500 --> 00:56:39.420
guy is connected to it and going straight in.

00:56:39.559 --> 00:56:44.099
So they bypass any radio jammers. There's no

00:56:44.099 --> 00:56:46.639
RF frequency at all. Yeah, so there's no RF frequency,

00:56:46.800 --> 00:56:50.159
and he goes, so what's happening is you have

00:56:50.159 --> 00:56:53.869
miles of fiber optic. and you have these huge

00:56:53.869 --> 00:56:56.010
spools, it's actually creating an environmental

00:56:56.010 --> 00:56:58.469
problem. I bet. Because you have all of this

00:56:58.469 --> 00:57:01.469
fiber optic cable laying everywhere. Millions

00:57:01.469 --> 00:57:03.590
of miles. Like spider webs laying all over the

00:57:03.590 --> 00:57:05.829
place. Yeah, like fishing line everywhere. It's

00:57:05.829 --> 00:57:08.329
a temporary, it's a one -use deal, basically.

00:57:08.510 --> 00:57:12.449
I mean, you go out 15, 20 miles, and you have

00:57:12.449 --> 00:57:14.650
all this shit just laying there. Oh, my gosh.

00:57:14.690 --> 00:57:16.750
I didn't even realize that. I didn't think it

00:57:16.750 --> 00:57:18.929
was practical for them to be able to do that.

00:57:19.050 --> 00:57:20.659
Yep, they're doing it. That's how they're getting

00:57:20.659 --> 00:57:23.139
around the jammers. And the wires everywhere,

00:57:23.599 --> 00:57:26.340
fiber optic cable everywhere. Yeah. I also saw

00:57:26.340 --> 00:57:30.880
something today that the U .S. military has a

00:57:30.880 --> 00:57:34.139
new weapon to combat that. It's a big, humongous

00:57:34.139 --> 00:57:40.440
microwave. It looks like a big square thing,

00:57:40.500 --> 00:57:42.480
and it shoots out this huge thing of microwaves

00:57:42.480 --> 00:57:45.619
that fries the electrical. components of incoming

00:57:45.619 --> 00:57:48.579
drones. Where the hell are you going to get one

00:57:48.579 --> 00:57:50.980
of those? It's not like you have a pocket microwave.

00:57:51.300 --> 00:57:54.300
No, the company makes them. My point is, you've

00:57:54.300 --> 00:57:57.920
got hundreds of miles of stuff. You're going

00:57:57.920 --> 00:57:59.940
to need hundreds of those, thousands of those.

00:57:59.980 --> 00:58:03.639
They're on ships. They're at key locations. Yes,

00:58:03.639 --> 00:58:05.119
it doesn't help you or me. They're protecting

00:58:05.119 --> 00:58:09.500
particular... So the military has them. They're

00:58:09.500 --> 00:58:11.159
not consumer where you can put one in your house

00:58:11.159 --> 00:58:12.920
in case someone decides to, you know, there it

00:58:12.920 --> 00:58:16.599
is right there. Unbelievable. Yeah, that thing

00:58:16.599 --> 00:58:19.460
right there, and it shoots out this huge microwave

00:58:19.460 --> 00:58:22.539
thing that just fries, you know, if there's 100

00:58:22.539 --> 00:58:24.440
of them coming, and if it's in their way, it

00:58:24.440 --> 00:58:26.300
kills them right there. We are, there's going

00:58:26.300 --> 00:58:29.630
to be a lot of. What is it called? The damage

00:58:29.630 --> 00:58:31.489
on the side. Because imagine all the electronics

00:58:31.489 --> 00:58:34.130
that aren't involved in that. You're sitting

00:58:34.130 --> 00:58:35.289
there with your cell phone. All of a sudden,

00:58:35.329 --> 00:58:37.469
oh, you just fried my freaking cell phone. It's

00:58:37.469 --> 00:58:39.190
better than getting a bomb in the face. We are

00:58:39.190 --> 00:58:43.250
experiencing an acceleration of military weaponry

00:58:43.250 --> 00:58:46.389
and technology. I mean, this Ukrainian -Russian

00:58:46.389 --> 00:58:50.789
war is a glimpse into the future. I think drone

00:58:50.789 --> 00:58:55.570
warfare is the key. Do you think Putin knows?

00:58:56.589 --> 00:59:00.670
how funny sounding his last name is. It may not

00:59:00.670 --> 00:59:02.449
sound funny in Russian. Maybe it sounds cool.

00:59:02.690 --> 00:59:06.309
What are you doing? I'm Putin. In Russia, it's

00:59:06.309 --> 00:59:11.070
Putin. Let's not do that. Probably not. If he

00:59:11.070 --> 00:59:13.329
was in middle school in the United States, he

00:59:13.329 --> 00:59:17.039
would have got teased all day long. When you

00:59:17.039 --> 00:59:18.659
say you thought he was close to end of life,

00:59:18.739 --> 00:59:20.960
there's rumors that he has cancer. There's rumors

00:59:20.960 --> 00:59:24.539
that he has kidney failure. He's just age. Oh,

00:59:24.539 --> 00:59:27.559
okay. So he's probably within five, ten years

00:59:27.559 --> 00:59:29.380
of his... Because there is rumors that he is

00:59:29.380 --> 00:59:32.400
like... you know, has some disease or something.

00:59:32.519 --> 00:59:34.559
I wasn't sure if you had read something about

00:59:34.559 --> 00:59:35.920
that recently. I'm just thinking age. And they

00:59:35.920 --> 00:59:37.559
wouldn't release that anyway. No, they wouldn't.

00:59:37.579 --> 00:59:40.380
Hell, he's got doubles. He lives in like these

00:59:40.380 --> 00:59:43.679
lavish bunkers everywhere. It's just crazy. You

00:59:43.679 --> 00:59:45.219
know what I saw when you were talking about that

00:59:45.219 --> 00:59:49.079
microwave thing? Unrelated, but related. I saw

00:59:49.079 --> 00:59:52.909
these advertisements for these. that shoots mosquitoes

00:59:52.909 --> 00:59:56.190
in your backyard. I saw that. I want one of those.

00:59:56.289 --> 00:59:58.769
I saw it too. I was like, I don't care how much

00:59:58.769 --> 01:00:01.989
that costs. I want one. It shoots lasers in your

01:00:01.989 --> 01:00:04.389
backyard. Yes. I forgot what it was. Is it shaped

01:00:04.389 --> 01:00:06.730
like a pistol kind of thing? I don't remember.

01:00:06.849 --> 01:00:09.469
It was this little turret that sits on a thing.

01:00:10.429 --> 01:00:13.989
That sounds safe to you guys? Hey, man, these

01:00:13.989 --> 01:00:17.289
things don't require a whole lot of power to

01:00:17.289 --> 01:00:19.369
kill a mosquito. So if you stand in front of

01:00:19.369 --> 01:00:22.329
it, it's not going to go. Or right into your

01:00:22.329 --> 01:00:24.570
eyeball. Yeah. What if you're out there playing

01:00:24.570 --> 01:00:26.849
cornhole or something? And then suddenly somebody

01:00:26.849 --> 01:00:30.329
turns on this thing and you're blind and you're

01:00:30.329 --> 01:00:34.380
impotent. So it's a tabletop. that obviously

01:00:34.380 --> 01:00:37.159
sits on a table, and it somehow senses where

01:00:37.159 --> 01:00:40.519
a mosquito is. Mosquito laser defense system.

01:00:40.519 --> 01:00:43.420
And can recognize the mosquito, and the technology

01:00:43.420 --> 01:00:46.800
knows where it is, and it lasers it out of the

01:00:46.800 --> 01:00:49.619
air. It differentiates between you and the dog,

01:00:49.679 --> 01:00:52.320
and it knows what it's looking at. So it's a

01:00:52.320 --> 01:00:55.820
mosquito iron dome. Look at that. That's exactly

01:00:55.820 --> 01:01:00.360
what it is. That is amazing. I wonder how fast

01:01:00.360 --> 01:01:02.599
it could go because sometimes we have lots of

01:01:02.599 --> 01:01:05.059
mosquitoes out there. Is it going to rapid fire?

01:01:05.260 --> 01:01:08.599
It could be going crazy. Can you imagine that?

01:01:10.320 --> 01:01:13.019
That would be... I thought that was incredible.

01:01:13.039 --> 01:01:17.039
I'm calling bullshit to some level here. It's

01:01:17.039 --> 01:01:19.260
probably... It's probably like really, really

01:01:19.260 --> 01:01:22.099
inefficient. It's probably one out of 100 that

01:01:22.099 --> 01:01:24.679
it actually hits. I mean, it'll get better. It'll

01:01:24.679 --> 01:01:27.039
get better, I'm sure. How much are these things?

01:01:27.119 --> 01:01:30.179
Do you find it on, what is it, Amazon? It's at

01:01:30.179 --> 01:01:36.239
Costco, $69 .99. That's $10. Yeah. I think it's

01:01:36.239 --> 01:01:37.920
just an experiment. Yeah, they may not be ready.

01:01:37.920 --> 01:01:40.940
It's got to be an experiment. Well, we need to

01:01:40.940 --> 01:01:45.380
get to our bourbon that our guest Larry actually

01:01:45.380 --> 01:01:52.250
brought. All right. This is, well, you brought

01:01:52.250 --> 01:01:53.969
it, Larry. Do you want to kind of mention what

01:01:53.969 --> 01:01:57.230
this is? Yeah, what led you to this buy? Well,

01:01:57.389 --> 01:01:59.849
first of all, as we said at the beginning of

01:01:59.849 --> 01:02:03.949
this segment, this is my fourth or fifth visit

01:02:03.949 --> 01:02:07.010
with you guys, and you have been very generous

01:02:07.010 --> 01:02:10.210
in the past with sharing your bourbons with the

01:02:10.210 --> 01:02:13.030
tastings that we had, and I started to feel like

01:02:13.030 --> 01:02:18.130
a little bit of a mooch. So I thought it's time

01:02:18.130 --> 01:02:21.510
for me to pony up. So I brought along this bourbon.

01:02:21.750 --> 01:02:27.530
It's called Bank Street. Sean had sent me a list

01:02:27.530 --> 01:02:31.909
of the 248 bourbons that you guys have tested

01:02:31.909 --> 01:02:33.650
in the past because I didn't want to bring one

01:02:33.650 --> 01:02:38.210
that you had already tried. I wanted to bring

01:02:38.210 --> 01:02:41.230
a new one. So it was a bit of a struggle to kind

01:02:41.230 --> 01:02:43.969
of cross -reference the liquor store list versus

01:02:43.969 --> 01:02:47.630
what you had on your list. And I found this one,

01:02:47.710 --> 01:02:52.570
Bank Street Bourbon. It is advertised as a Kentucky

01:02:52.570 --> 01:02:57.110
straight bourbon whiskey. Okay. Now, on the label,

01:02:57.170 --> 01:03:00.789
it says Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey. But

01:03:00.789 --> 01:03:03.489
after some research that we did on this, we find

01:03:03.489 --> 01:03:05.989
that it's made in New Jersey. Well, it's bottled

01:03:05.989 --> 01:03:07.489
in New Jersey. Bottled in New Jersey. So the

01:03:07.489 --> 01:03:09.230
juice was made in Kentucky. They bought it from

01:03:09.230 --> 01:03:11.929
somebody, like Bartstown or someone like that.

01:03:12.090 --> 01:03:15.210
So it's distilled in Kentucky. I don't know what

01:03:15.210 --> 01:03:17.869
the rules and regulations are to be able to label

01:03:17.869 --> 01:03:20.570
something as Kentucky bourbon. I leave that to

01:03:20.570 --> 01:03:22.989
you. Yeah, it has to be. It's distilled in Kentucky.

01:03:23.090 --> 01:03:25.650
I don't know. And barreled. And barreled, but

01:03:25.650 --> 01:03:28.409
it's usually, it could be aged a little bit in

01:03:28.409 --> 01:03:30.989
New Jersey, but it's typically bottled. There's

01:03:30.989 --> 01:03:32.789
a company in New Jersey who bought some barrels

01:03:32.789 --> 01:03:36.730
from some Kentucky distillery, and they went

01:03:36.730 --> 01:03:38.190
and probably picked them and says, these are

01:03:38.190 --> 01:03:41.510
fantastic. I want to bottle this. And they could

01:03:41.510 --> 01:03:42.989
buy them and they call it whatever they want.

01:03:43.110 --> 01:03:46.329
So I pulled it up on the internet and there were

01:03:46.329 --> 01:03:50.070
quite a few reviews and it was reviewed quite

01:03:50.070 --> 01:03:52.550
highly. So I thought, okay, I'll give it a go.

01:03:52.630 --> 01:03:55.050
There you go. So I stopped by the liquor store

01:03:55.050 --> 01:04:02.170
this morning and this bottle of bourbon is $32.

01:04:02.449 --> 01:04:07.269
Okay. So not super expensive, but not the...

01:04:07.519 --> 01:04:09.679
Bottom of the barrel, no pun intended. Yeah,

01:04:09.780 --> 01:04:12.119
no. And I would imagine, back to that, I would

01:04:12.119 --> 01:04:15.300
imagine a lot of people, it's distilled, it's

01:04:15.300 --> 01:04:17.420
probably barreled, it's probably fully aged,

01:04:17.500 --> 01:04:20.940
like 100 % of that process in Kentucky. And I

01:04:20.940 --> 01:04:23.980
bet you they put it on trucks, they ship it to

01:04:23.980 --> 01:04:27.719
New Jersey, and then the only thing they have

01:04:27.719 --> 01:04:31.460
there is the bottling facility. That would be

01:04:31.460 --> 01:04:33.019
what I would guess. I would bet you they would

01:04:33.019 --> 01:04:35.980
never age it. Where's Regent Distillers Products

01:04:35.980 --> 01:04:39.380
Company from? So Regent Distillers Products Company

01:04:39.380 --> 01:04:41.760
is supposedly a distiller. It's in New Jersey.

01:04:41.900 --> 01:04:44.219
It's down at the bottom. So these guys, this

01:04:44.219 --> 01:04:47.119
has aged for five years. It's got, it's light.

01:04:47.219 --> 01:04:51.360
It's 80 proof. Scobieville. For our palate, it's

01:04:51.360 --> 01:04:56.059
super, super easy to drink. It's tasty. It's

01:04:56.059 --> 01:04:58.639
light. Lots of vanilla. It's sweet. It's very

01:04:58.639 --> 01:05:01.340
smooth. Yeah, it's very smooth. It's very sweet.

01:05:01.800 --> 01:05:03.400
There's some sweetness. There's some vanilla.

01:05:03.400 --> 01:05:07.369
The caramel is, it's a very, very. I think it

01:05:07.369 --> 01:05:09.170
works well. Stereotypical bourbon. Crushable?

01:05:09.289 --> 01:05:11.010
Yeah, crushable. Yeah, it's crushable. Something

01:05:11.010 --> 01:05:15.030
you could put in an old -fashioned or a Manhattan.

01:05:15.449 --> 01:05:18.309
It's probably perfect. It's one of those that

01:05:18.309 --> 01:05:20.969
is actually the perfect juice for an old -fashioned

01:05:20.969 --> 01:05:23.929
or Manhattan. Yeah. I'm getting some chocolate

01:05:23.929 --> 01:05:28.090
flavor out of this. I like this a lot. I like

01:05:28.090 --> 01:05:30.250
it. For an 80 proof, it's been a long time. We

01:05:30.250 --> 01:05:32.250
had an 80 proof not too long ago. The Gentleman

01:05:32.250 --> 01:05:36.090
Jack. 1922. Yeah. No, we had the Gentleman Jack,

01:05:36.150 --> 01:05:39.670
I think, is 80, isn't it? No, it might be. I

01:05:39.670 --> 01:05:41.949
don't know. It's kind of crazy, Larry. We're

01:05:41.949 --> 01:05:45.989
snobs. Yeah, I know you are. It was a challenge.

01:05:46.570 --> 01:05:49.489
Well, I mean, 80 proof is kind of outside the

01:05:49.489 --> 01:05:51.550
scope, so it's kind of refreshing when we get

01:05:51.550 --> 01:05:55.440
to sample something like this. It's very, as

01:05:55.440 --> 01:05:58.960
Chuck said, from the horse neck guys, they say

01:05:58.960 --> 01:06:01.880
it's crushable, meaning you can drink it. Right.

01:06:02.019 --> 01:06:04.639
And we can drink this. Like a lot of it. We could

01:06:04.639 --> 01:06:07.079
kill that bottle. Like, yeah, easily. Oh, yeah.

01:06:07.199 --> 01:06:10.239
We already drank half of it, almost. Anyways,

01:06:10.340 --> 01:06:12.059
it's great. Thank you for bringing it. I think

01:06:12.059 --> 01:06:14.800
it is, too. You are more than welcome. Yeah,

01:06:14.840 --> 01:06:16.539
it's actually very good. I would recommend this

01:06:16.539 --> 01:06:19.309
bourbon. Definitely. So Bank Street Bourbon,

01:06:19.309 --> 01:06:21.090
aged for at least five years, offers a complex

01:06:21.090 --> 01:06:23.369
flavors profile with notes of charred oak, vanilla,

01:06:23.550 --> 01:06:25.570
brown sugar, and hints of caramel. It's Kentucky

01:06:25.570 --> 01:06:27.150
straight bourbon, crafted with a mashed bowl

01:06:27.150 --> 01:06:29.070
of corn, rye, barley, and malt. Smooth finish

01:06:29.070 --> 01:06:31.250
with a mix of enjoyable neat on the rocks, cocktails

01:06:31.250 --> 01:06:33.989
like old -fashioned and or Manhattans. Yeah,

01:06:33.989 --> 01:06:36.369
and it's aged of a minimum five years, so that's

01:06:36.369 --> 01:06:39.079
not... It's not too bad. I will say this. So

01:06:39.079 --> 01:06:41.820
a lot of times we've tried an 80 proof, and we

01:06:41.820 --> 01:06:44.860
really didn't get much of anything from it. But

01:06:44.860 --> 01:06:46.960
I got to give this some credit. There is flavor

01:06:46.960 --> 01:06:50.679
on the front end. On the front and on the back.

01:06:50.840 --> 01:06:53.519
So, I mean, you know, and you got to give it

01:06:53.519 --> 01:06:56.969
the five -year. The five -year age is what brings

01:06:56.969 --> 01:06:59.010
to that. Well, you had about half that bottle.

01:06:59.170 --> 01:07:02.110
You did. He was like, oh, my God. This is so

01:07:02.110 --> 01:07:04.030
crushable. Glug, glug, glug, glug, glug, glug,

01:07:04.110 --> 01:07:07.949
glug, glug. I think I saw one of their ads when

01:07:07.949 --> 01:07:09.710
I was researching them. I think I saw one of

01:07:09.710 --> 01:07:11.469
their ads, and I'm paraphrasing here, but it

01:07:11.469 --> 01:07:14.309
basically said, okay, we get it. We're in New

01:07:14.309 --> 01:07:17.010
Jersey, and this is a Kentucky bourbon, and New

01:07:17.010 --> 01:07:21.769
Jersey is not exactly known in the bourbon world.

01:07:22.360 --> 01:07:24.780
Give us a try, and we think you'll be happy.

01:07:24.780 --> 01:07:26.679
Is New Jersey known for any kind of alcohol?

01:07:27.659 --> 01:07:29.860
Not that I know of, but I'm sure it has some

01:07:29.860 --> 01:07:35.139
local stuff. Illegal alcohol. I don't think a

01:07:35.139 --> 01:07:36.960
lot of states. I mean, Kentucky's known for bourbon.

01:07:38.820 --> 01:07:41.019
I can't think of really any other state that's

01:07:41.019 --> 01:07:43.239
known, hey, vodka's really good out of Tennessee

01:07:43.239 --> 01:07:47.820
or whatever. Montana vodka. Yeah. And I'll say

01:07:47.820 --> 01:07:49.739
also it's a good price point. I mean, if this

01:07:49.739 --> 01:07:52.840
bourbon were in the $50, $60 range, I'd be like,

01:07:52.960 --> 01:07:56.480
for $50, $60, you can get something way better.

01:07:56.780 --> 01:08:00.280
But for $30, it's good. It's a good bourbon.

01:08:00.320 --> 01:08:02.500
Yeah, it is. Yeah, yeah. I would agree with that.

01:08:03.059 --> 01:08:04.699
Oh, cool. Thanks again for bringing it. Well,

01:08:04.739 --> 01:08:06.300
I'm glad you guys liked it. Yeah, I'm enjoying

01:08:06.300 --> 01:08:08.360
it. And again, thank you for inviting me here,

01:08:08.480 --> 01:08:11.679
and this is a lot of fun. Cool. So New Jersey

01:08:11.679 --> 01:08:15.179
is home to growing a number of distillers producing

01:08:15.179 --> 01:08:17.479
a variety of spirits, vodka, gin, blah, blah,

01:08:17.520 --> 01:08:21.680
blah. Award -winning like Jersey Apple, Hooch.

01:08:22.079 --> 01:08:24.720
Hooch. High Point Rye Whiskey. We've heard High

01:08:24.720 --> 01:08:29.600
Point. No, we have High West. Shit. I don't think

01:08:29.600 --> 01:08:32.100
we've tried High Point. Other notable distilleries.

01:08:32.199 --> 01:08:35.060
Asbury Park. I grew up right there. Asbury Park

01:08:35.060 --> 01:08:36.260
right out in the east. It's the greatest place

01:08:36.260 --> 01:08:39.859
in the world. It is. God's country. Isn't the

01:08:39.859 --> 01:08:42.899
Northeast better known for like ciders and things

01:08:42.899 --> 01:08:45.720
like that? Like beers and ciders probably. Yeah.

01:08:46.520 --> 01:08:50.180
Jersey Spirits Distilling. And cheese. Asbury's

01:08:50.180 --> 01:08:52.680
Cheese. Claremont Distilling. And Architeuthis.

01:08:52.720 --> 01:08:57.329
Yes. The Pine Tavern Distillery. Milk street

01:08:57.329 --> 01:08:59.310
distillery? That sounds kind of good. I bet you

01:08:59.310 --> 01:09:02.069
now that there's been an explosion of whiskeys,

01:09:02.090 --> 01:09:05.369
I bet you every state is. Kind of like Texas,

01:09:05.430 --> 01:09:09.090
right? There's a lot of NDPs because that's what

01:09:09.090 --> 01:09:11.970
the bourbon industry kind of turned into. Everyone

01:09:11.970 --> 01:09:15.729
was buying barrels from either MGP or Bardstown.

01:09:15.909 --> 01:09:17.529
That's the fastest way to get into it. Well,

01:09:17.550 --> 01:09:21.250
it is, and bourbon was huge. I mean, it still

01:09:21.250 --> 01:09:24.020
is, but... It was huge all through COVID, and

01:09:24.020 --> 01:09:25.859
so you had all these people going, let's start

01:09:25.859 --> 01:09:28.800
our own. We can buy barrels and just, you know,

01:09:28.800 --> 01:09:31.140
name it what we want. Rare Character is a great

01:09:31.140 --> 01:09:35.159
example, but I think they're on the cusp of jumping

01:09:35.159 --> 01:09:37.319
the shark. Could be. You know, and I hate to

01:09:37.319 --> 01:09:39.520
say it, Rare Character, you're on the cusp of

01:09:39.520 --> 01:09:41.539
jumping the shark because a lot of stuff you're

01:09:41.539 --> 01:09:45.340
coming out with is just, it's still, we haven't

01:09:45.340 --> 01:09:47.359
opened that bottle. Right. And we've got a couple

01:09:47.359 --> 01:09:50.189
bottles to open them. I have two. So probably

01:09:50.189 --> 01:09:52.189
need to bring those over. It did come to mind

01:09:52.189 --> 01:09:54.409
as I was walking through the bourbon aisle at

01:09:54.409 --> 01:09:57.270
the liquor store today. My God, there's a lot

01:09:57.270 --> 01:09:58.729
of bourbons. That's what I'm saying. That's what

01:09:58.729 --> 01:10:01.390
it is. It's saturated for sure. I think it's

01:10:01.390 --> 01:10:03.050
oversaturated. It's kind of like I think the

01:10:03.050 --> 01:10:08.210
beer industry, the craft beer industry got. And

01:10:08.210 --> 01:10:11.850
it's ridiculous how many different little breweries.

01:10:12.520 --> 01:10:15.800
types of beer out there it i think it got oversaturated

01:10:15.800 --> 01:10:19.039
it did for me anyway i i tried everything that

01:10:19.039 --> 01:10:21.680
was around at the time and i got tired of it

01:10:21.680 --> 01:10:24.060
yeah well you and i that was the hunt yeah what

01:10:24.060 --> 01:10:26.199
the hell are we gonna drink next i want the highest

01:10:26.199 --> 01:10:30.199
proofed Proof. I think we settled on, what, Bigfoot,

01:10:30.239 --> 01:10:33.319
which was a malt barley or malt. It was a malt

01:10:33.319 --> 01:10:35.520
wine, a barley wine. Barley wine. It's barley

01:10:35.520 --> 01:10:37.899
wine. Yeah, that. And there was some Firestone

01:10:37.899 --> 01:10:40.159
stuff that was pretty hearty. The Velvet Merkin.

01:10:40.359 --> 01:10:43.279
Oh, yeah. Ooh. What a great name, though. Velvet

01:10:43.279 --> 01:10:46.899
Merkin. Now that I know, you know. Well, I will

01:10:46.899 --> 01:10:49.439
say this. Like you said, it's saturated. There's

01:10:49.439 --> 01:10:51.600
so many on the shelves. But you know there's

01:10:51.600 --> 01:10:54.300
hundreds that are out there that are not. That

01:10:54.300 --> 01:10:55.739
are not on the shelf. That are not even on the

01:10:55.739 --> 01:10:58.850
shelf. Meaning they can't even get to the distributor.

01:10:59.109 --> 01:11:02.090
Correct. Larry had to jump out and get his bird

01:11:02.090 --> 01:11:04.470
dog peanut butter whiskey. Yeah, as I was shopping

01:11:04.470 --> 01:11:07.289
around, I found this little airplane size. It's

01:11:07.289 --> 01:11:10.109
a bourbon called Bird Dog, and it's peanut butter

01:11:10.109 --> 01:11:12.210
flavored. And, Sean, you tell me that you guys

01:11:12.210 --> 01:11:14.550
have already sampled some peanut butter bourbon

01:11:14.550 --> 01:11:17.090
before. Oh, yeah. I'd never heard of it, and

01:11:17.090 --> 01:11:18.689
I took a hit out of it. I got to tell you, I

01:11:18.689 --> 01:11:20.789
kind of like it. It's tasty. It's pretty good.

01:11:21.109 --> 01:11:24.069
It is fun. Yeah, when you want to get blown up

01:11:24.069 --> 01:11:26.850
quickly, and it's very... Let me tell you something.

01:11:27.050 --> 01:11:28.850
We had a choice of this, and he was going to

01:11:28.850 --> 01:11:31.850
bring something called Buzz Balls. I didn't know

01:11:31.850 --> 01:11:35.909
what this was. It's like diabetes in a can. Those

01:11:35.909 --> 01:11:39.050
little Buzz Balls. They're good, though. All

01:11:39.050 --> 01:11:40.670
right. Well, the first half of the Dudes Like
