WEBVTT

00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:10.080
Shoot, man. Feeling good. Yeah? Feel all right?

00:00:10.259 --> 00:00:12.380
Yeah. Well, you look good. That first podcast

00:00:12.380 --> 00:00:15.980
was the Bank Street. Bourbon's got me a little

00:00:15.980 --> 00:00:19.019
riled up, man. Drank a lot of that because it

00:00:19.019 --> 00:00:20.980
was like iced tea. Well, the bottle's empty,

00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:23.320
so you must be feeling good. That's because of

00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:27.239
Jeff. So is your spouse out of town right now,

00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:30.140
Jeff? She is. She's in Nashville. And when does

00:00:30.140 --> 00:00:32.820
she return? I go and pick her up tomorrow afternoon.

00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:37.039
Damn it, Archer. Yeah. Every single time I find

00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:39.420
a wiggle room and it gets discarded. Hey, you

00:00:39.420 --> 00:00:41.119
guys, you know, I want to go out to the driving

00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:42.780
range a little bit. You guys into that? You mentioned

00:00:42.780 --> 00:00:44.259
that the other day. We were supposed to go Sunday.

00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:49.500
Shut up. Shut up. I was hungover from Friday

00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:51.640
when we went to that. For two straight days.

00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:54.500
Oh, man. Look. Did you go to your in -laws on

00:00:54.500 --> 00:01:00.359
Sunday? I did, and it was painful. However, Paul

00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:05.590
and I were awesome. At Pictionary. Oh, yeah.

00:01:05.670 --> 00:01:08.730
We always are. Yeah, but this, look, I was so

00:01:08.730 --> 00:01:11.870
confident. You know how we play Pictionary a

00:01:11.870 --> 00:01:13.390
little bit differently. You go down the list

00:01:13.390 --> 00:01:14.590
because there's five different things on there.

00:01:14.849 --> 00:01:18.670
I was so confident I grabbed two cards. And you

00:01:18.670 --> 00:01:20.409
got through one of them. I did. You know how

00:01:20.409 --> 00:01:22.450
rare it is to get through one card? I've done

00:01:22.450 --> 00:01:26.760
it. And I went through two. It was insane. I've

00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.099
done it once. Slap happy. Oh, man, I enjoyed.

00:01:29.780 --> 00:01:31.680
If you have an opportunity to come over when

00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:35.079
we do game night, we have such a great time.

00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:38.620
I think board games with friends is so much fun.

00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.019
Trivia Pursuit. I wouldn't mind playing Trivia

00:01:42.019 --> 00:01:45.459
Pursuit again. I like that. Twister. No, not

00:01:45.459 --> 00:01:51.540
Twister. Yeah, Naked Twister. No, none of that.

00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:56.719
So we do guys versus women. We win. Trivial Pursuit,

00:01:56.739 --> 00:01:59.060
Pictionary. We haven't done charades yet. We

00:01:59.060 --> 00:02:01.439
ought to do charades. I'm not a huge charade

00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.480
fan. No? Nobody likes to see you animated. That's

00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:08.039
true. You kind of look like a Muppet. Yes. I

00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:09.740
don't know. I've never seen it, actually. All

00:02:09.740 --> 00:02:10.979
right. This is the second half of the Dudes Like

00:02:10.979 --> 00:02:14.270
Us podcast. It's July 15th. Chuck? Our producer

00:02:14.270 --> 00:02:16.629
is on standby taking care of our every needs.

00:02:16.729 --> 00:02:19.490
He's got the sponsored exchange from Horseneck

00:02:19.490 --> 00:02:21.250
Bourbon up on the screen where we've got some

00:02:21.250 --> 00:02:23.189
great pictures of our experience that happened

00:02:23.189 --> 00:02:25.169
a couple weeks ago. That is so awesome. Look

00:02:25.169 --> 00:02:26.689
at those guys. They're in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Houston,

00:02:26.849 --> 00:02:29.830
Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas on

00:02:29.830 --> 00:02:32.509
June 27th. That event. Oh, that's next year.

00:02:32.569 --> 00:02:35.889
Next year. The upcoming one. Holy shnikes. So

00:02:35.889 --> 00:02:40.610
Fort Worth may be. Yeah. For sure. December 6th.

00:02:40.610 --> 00:02:42.840
White elephant in December. All right. Well,

00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:44.719
we got a special guest for the second half, and

00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:48.219
we are drinking a primo whiskey that we picked

00:02:48.219 --> 00:02:50.659
up in Forney, Texas. It's fantastic. Well, we

00:02:50.659 --> 00:02:52.919
picked it up at Liquor King. Well. It's from

00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.699
Forney. Just be quiet. Yes. I got some shot.

00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:00.219
I'm Jeff. Cricket. Cricket. You have a name.

00:03:00.340 --> 00:03:02.939
You have a name, right? Okay. Stop it off. Dudes,

00:03:02.939 --> 00:03:05.280
I got some shot. I'm Paul. I'm Jeff. And I'm

00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.780
Larry. Sorry. I was watching the screen with

00:03:08.780 --> 00:03:12.379
the dates of this event coming up. Yeah. Too

00:03:12.379 --> 00:03:14.699
much bourbon. Too much bourbon. That's exactly

00:03:14.699 --> 00:03:16.300
what's going on. He had to water down his stuff.

00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:17.900
That's okay with that. We've got a lot of topics

00:03:17.900 --> 00:03:20.319

00:03:40.030 --> 00:03:44.270
I am going to make Brandon and Yasmin save the

00:03:44.270 --> 00:03:47.069
date magnets. Yasmin asked me, she goes, do you

00:03:47.069 --> 00:03:50.530
happen to make like little wood discs with magnets

00:03:50.530 --> 00:03:53.169
so that we can send with our save the date stuff

00:03:53.169 --> 00:03:54.849
so they can stick it to the. I've got these stuff.

00:03:54.870 --> 00:03:57.409
She's joking. She was asking, do you make these?

00:03:57.569 --> 00:03:59.629
Yeah. Because she knows I do the woodwork. She

00:03:59.629 --> 00:04:03.680
goes, can you make these? And I was like. Actually,

00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:05.560
I can. Just so happens I can. So I walked out

00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:07.699
there, and I showed her some of the first ones

00:04:07.699 --> 00:04:09.120
I did, which are terrible. I was like, these

00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:11.599
are really bad, but here's the size of them.

00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.780
And we have magnets we stick on the back. She's

00:04:14.780 --> 00:04:18.560
like, perfect. So she sent me 12, 13 designs

00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:22.339
so far. Oh, wow. And I mocked them up, and she

00:04:22.339 --> 00:04:24.420
just needs to decide which one she likes. Very

00:04:24.420 --> 00:04:27.899
nice. And I'll buy a bag of them and put them

00:04:27.899 --> 00:04:30.220
together, and here's your wedding gift. She has

00:04:30.220 --> 00:04:32.750
6 ,000. No, it's going to be a small wedding.

00:04:32.910 --> 00:04:36.990
No, it'll be a small wedding. 50? Probably. Okay.

00:04:37.110 --> 00:04:38.990
Yeah, pretty small. That's not a lot of magnets.

00:04:39.129 --> 00:04:41.069
I think it'll be good. Yeah. It won't be a problem.

00:04:41.790 --> 00:04:43.689
It's fun. And it's exciting because we have that

00:04:43.689 --> 00:04:47.610
machine to do it all. We discussed previously

00:04:47.610 --> 00:04:51.470
about, well, right now, about updating, upgrading,

00:04:51.870 --> 00:04:55.889
making a better... Getting a better machine,

00:04:56.230 --> 00:04:58.350
something that doesn't take up such a footprint

00:04:58.350 --> 00:04:59.769
for those folks out there that don't know what

00:04:59.769 --> 00:05:01.649
the hell we're talking about. We've got a CNC

00:05:01.649 --> 00:05:04.790
machine downstairs in Jeff's garage that we invested

00:05:04.790 --> 00:05:06.889
in to do some projects because we love doing

00:05:06.889 --> 00:05:11.089
fun stuff. What's a CNC machine? It's a router

00:05:11.089 --> 00:05:14.790
that's on an XYZ axis that will engrave wood.

00:05:15.610 --> 00:05:17.970
Metal, et cetera. Mostly wood. Not so much metal

00:05:17.970 --> 00:05:19.209
anymore. I don't think we're ever going to do

00:05:19.209 --> 00:05:22.550
metal again. Not based on the last project. This

00:05:22.550 --> 00:05:28.029
is 101finity. Onefinity. Onefinity. A CNC computer

00:05:28.029 --> 00:05:30.110
numerical code machine is a type of automated

00:05:30.110 --> 00:05:32.509
equipment used in manufacturing for precise tasks

00:05:32.509 --> 00:05:35.470
like cutting and shaping various metals. This

00:05:35.470 --> 00:05:37.790
is like, it's a machine that will go down on

00:05:37.790 --> 00:05:39.970
a flat piece of wood and just basically carve

00:05:39.970 --> 00:05:42.709
out stuff. It can do up to six inches. So if

00:05:42.709 --> 00:05:45.509
it wanted to do like a semi -spherical thing,

00:05:45.990 --> 00:05:48.750
it could, you know. Yeah, I could do 3D. I've

00:05:48.750 --> 00:05:51.889
never, it takes a certain program. Did I say

00:05:51.889 --> 00:05:54.949
it right? You said go down. Six inches. Chuck

00:05:54.949 --> 00:05:57.750
jumped on that. Yeah, he did. That's why I was

00:05:57.750 --> 00:05:59.029
wondering what the hell. And you looked at me

00:05:59.029 --> 00:06:01.009
like. That's a very large CNC machine there for

00:06:01.009 --> 00:06:03.740
$50 ,000. Yeah, we don't have one like that.

00:06:03.939 --> 00:06:06.459
Yeah, it's like four foot by eight foot. It's

00:06:06.459 --> 00:06:09.600
for small, cool projects, and it also has a laser,

00:06:09.660 --> 00:06:13.019
so we burn stuff as well, which is cool. It's

00:06:13.019 --> 00:06:16.579
a hobby. It is a hobby, and I'm not really interested

00:06:16.579 --> 00:06:19.519
in if it happened at work, but there's so many

00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:21.240
people out there that have machines like this

00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:24.759
that can, you know, if you wanted to order a

00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:28.079
thousand refrigerator magnets, you might as well

00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.040
just order a thousand refrigerator magnets, because

00:06:30.740 --> 00:06:33.779
Somebody has an industrial machine. It's not

00:06:33.779 --> 00:06:37.300
worth buying all the materials and the labor

00:06:37.300 --> 00:06:40.680
that it takes to do it. But if you've got a small

00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:42.899
one and you want a couple hundred ones for what

00:06:42.899 --> 00:06:44.819
we do in the podcast and we want to whip out

00:06:44.819 --> 00:06:47.399
some fun stuff. Yeah, friends, family, and listeners.

00:06:47.660 --> 00:06:50.740
Walking out the door tonight when we walk out,

00:06:50.779 --> 00:06:52.160
we'll show you what we're talking about. All

00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:54.540
right. We've got the little dudes like us magnet

00:06:54.540 --> 00:06:56.220
there. You seen the podcast? Yeah, you gave me

00:06:56.220 --> 00:06:58.180
one of those. Is it on your refrigerator? I did

00:06:58.180 --> 00:07:00.970
that up there on it. It's on my gun case. The

00:07:00.970 --> 00:07:03.910
Dude Psychos podcast. I did that on the CMT machine.

00:07:04.790 --> 00:07:08.889
Yeah. Anyways, thedudesychos -woodcraft on Instagram

00:07:08.889 --> 00:07:11.050
and Facebook. Check it out. Second half of the

00:07:11.050 --> 00:07:14.209
podcast, we had what? I just said that the Bank

00:07:14.209 --> 00:07:15.670
Street stuff? The Bank Street stuff, yeah. Man,

00:07:15.709 --> 00:07:19.089
it's got me slap happy. It was very easy to drink.

00:07:19.290 --> 00:07:22.230
Crushable, as the producer said. Smooth. Very

00:07:22.230 --> 00:07:24.470
smooth. Yeah, one thing I want to get into is,

00:07:24.589 --> 00:07:26.970
because we had some folks over for Fourth of

00:07:26.970 --> 00:07:31.089
July, and during that... there was discussion

00:07:31.089 --> 00:07:35.649
of a potential new dog, new puppy. Yeah. And

00:07:35.649 --> 00:07:38.110
Paul was very adamant at the time that this is

00:07:38.110 --> 00:07:39.829
not going to happen. Jeff, this is not going

00:07:39.829 --> 00:07:42.329
to happen. Well, you know, it happened because

00:07:42.329 --> 00:07:47.769
your son, Sean, your son and girlfriend are foster

00:07:47.769 --> 00:07:51.350
families or foster parents of different dogs

00:07:51.350 --> 00:07:52.990
that come through there. Well, hold on. Don't

00:07:52.990 --> 00:07:55.269
dress it like that. Oh, yeah. My son's girlfriend.

00:07:56.089 --> 00:08:01.949
Took on a responsibility to help the dog, what

00:08:01.949 --> 00:08:04.790
is it called? The Society of Dogs That Don't

00:08:04.790 --> 00:08:07.129
Have a Home. It's a very noble deal. They are

00:08:07.129 --> 00:08:10.149
foster parents. They are foster parents for displaced

00:08:10.149 --> 00:08:12.529
animals that are found out in the open. Yes.

00:08:12.550 --> 00:08:15.310
And they're cute, beautiful little animals. Yes.

00:08:15.310 --> 00:08:17.899
And they take them in. And they let them live

00:08:17.899 --> 00:08:19.680
with them. They try to find homes for them. Yeah.

00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:21.220
And they try to cultivate them and culture them.

00:08:21.220 --> 00:08:24.220
And so they visit during events like July 4th,

00:08:24.220 --> 00:08:25.860
and they bring the little puppy with them, and

00:08:25.860 --> 00:08:29.180
they make people go, oh, my God, it's so cute.

00:08:29.779 --> 00:08:32.179
And then my son was like, I want that dog dead.

00:08:33.220 --> 00:08:36.500
And I'm like, no. No, we're not getting a dog

00:08:36.500 --> 00:08:38.320
because we have two other dogs and we have no

00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.720
idea if the puppy is going to be, how they're

00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:42.500
going to get along. And if you don't know, you

00:08:42.500 --> 00:08:44.159
have to feed it. And there's a lot of money involved.

00:08:44.299 --> 00:08:47.179
And, you know, you vet shots and all this. I

00:08:47.179 --> 00:08:49.039
don't care. I'm getting the dog. I'm like, okay.

00:08:49.299 --> 00:08:55.809
How old is son? Son is 23. Oh, okay. So it's

00:08:55.809 --> 00:08:57.850
a grown -ass man. Yeah, so he can take care of

00:08:57.850 --> 00:09:00.330
his dog by himself. He can, but I mean, you know,

00:09:00.350 --> 00:09:02.470
right now he's living with us because he's got

00:09:02.470 --> 00:09:04.509
a job that's like super far away and they're

00:09:04.509 --> 00:09:06.929
in transition right now. Okay. And so I'm like,

00:09:07.009 --> 00:09:08.629
okay, well, this can't be a situation where it

00:09:08.629 --> 00:09:11.370
becomes my dog. Yeah. You know what I mean? Keep

00:09:11.370 --> 00:09:13.490
dreaming. I know exactly what you mean. Yeah,

00:09:13.490 --> 00:09:16.769
you know exactly what I mean. Anyway, so we get

00:09:16.769 --> 00:09:19.549
the dog and it's a... It's an adorable, cute

00:09:19.549 --> 00:09:21.509
little dog, and it's having some accidents here

00:09:21.509 --> 00:09:22.690
and there. That's okay. Is it a puppy still?

00:09:22.870 --> 00:09:25.690
It's four months old. What is it? What kind of

00:09:25.690 --> 00:09:27.590
dog? Is it a mutt? I'm not exactly sure what

00:09:27.590 --> 00:09:30.029
kind of dog it is. It's very unique. Big dog?

00:09:30.149 --> 00:09:33.470
Small dog? It's going to be probably a 60 -pound

00:09:33.470 --> 00:09:36.070
dog. Is it a wolf dog? It's not a wolf. Part

00:09:36.070 --> 00:09:39.389
Great Dane is what I understood. Good Lord. That's

00:09:39.389 --> 00:09:41.909
bigger than 60 pounds. No, it won't, but I guess

00:09:41.909 --> 00:09:43.909
it's a small one. Like Dachshund? Because it

00:09:43.909 --> 00:09:46.269
doesn't have very large feet, but who knows?

00:09:46.450 --> 00:09:50.730
But I do know. that when we had our Pictionary

00:09:50.730 --> 00:09:54.169
event go on, the dog was at our house playing

00:09:54.169 --> 00:09:57.990
with Bronco, and they had a great time. And we

00:09:57.990 --> 00:10:00.649
got home, and my wife was in a little bit of

00:10:00.649 --> 00:10:02.929
a little drunken stupor. And she gets in bed,

00:10:03.029 --> 00:10:06.230
and she's kind of like, this bed smells like

00:10:06.230 --> 00:10:11.389
pee. That's great. I'm like, wasn't me. I'm sober.

00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:15.440
Oh, you're right. You're so good. I didn't drink

00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:17.100
until Saturday night, but it doesn't matter.

00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:20.259
So the dog had urinated on our bed, unbeknownst

00:10:20.259 --> 00:10:22.340
to anybody. And Tara's all like in the bed, all

00:10:22.340 --> 00:10:24.340
just like. Grinding into it. Oh, it's so good.

00:10:24.340 --> 00:10:26.940
It's so warm. Oh, what is it? What's going on?

00:10:26.940 --> 00:10:29.960
It's so warm. Watch that fragrance. This O -Day

00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:33.320
dog. Yeah, so we had to strip the bed down. Nice.

00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:35.179
Just what you want to do right as you get in

00:10:35.179 --> 00:10:36.639
the bed. Just like, fuck, I just want to go to

00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:39.179
sleep. I went downstairs, started playing video

00:10:39.179 --> 00:10:44.399
games. So, yeah. The puppy is really, really

00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:46.740
fun, right? A lot of energy. Sweet puppy. I tell

00:10:46.740 --> 00:10:50.200
you what. But it has, in the last day or so,

00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:55.980
become very aggressive in its play and its, like,

00:10:55.980 --> 00:10:58.740
energy. I'm like, the other two dogs are, like,

00:10:58.779 --> 00:11:01.279
you know, wanting to tell it, there's some boundaries

00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.779
here. You need to settle down. And we made the

00:11:03.779 --> 00:11:05.480
mistake, because they kind of went after her.

00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:08.720
aggressively and we were like no don't you touch

00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:11.779
the puppy and that was a mistake because they

00:11:11.779 --> 00:11:15.820
need to tell the puppy what the rules are the

00:11:15.820 --> 00:11:18.519
pecking order yes and we that was a mistake that

00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:21.759
one moment that reactionary moment i i screwed

00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:24.360
up because now they're afraid to correct the

00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:26.639
puppy and i'm like no no no you tell her what's

00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:29.299
up you go ahead and get in her face because she

00:11:29.299 --> 00:11:32.149
was jumping around like crazy. I don't care about

00:11:32.149 --> 00:11:34.389
the jumping around. She was literally diving

00:11:34.389 --> 00:11:38.149
off the sofa on top of them and biting at them

00:11:38.149 --> 00:11:44.830
like a velociraptor. Guys, if I show you a video

00:11:44.830 --> 00:11:46.190
of this, you're going to be like, oh my god.

00:11:47.649 --> 00:11:51.049
She's out of control. And I'm like, okay, she

00:11:51.049 --> 00:11:53.610
needs to know some ground rules here. Well, she's

00:11:53.610 --> 00:11:56.610
a puppy. I've never seen a puppy act like this.

00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:01.519
So I'm nervous. So you have the new puppy, and

00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:04.100
it sounds like you had an existing dog or two.

00:12:04.590 --> 00:12:08.149
Two dogs. Well, one and two -thirds. One and

00:12:08.149 --> 00:12:11.629
two -thirds dogs. He's Dr. Too Little. Two -thirds.

00:12:12.029 --> 00:12:14.110
Yeah, I have a one -eyed, three -legged dog,

00:12:14.230 --> 00:12:18.570
yes. What's his name, Lucky? No, probably Unlucky,

00:12:18.649 --> 00:12:22.269
right? Sasha, she's wonderful. We took them to

00:12:22.269 --> 00:12:23.769
Colorado. This is a funny story. I haven't told

00:12:23.769 --> 00:12:26.190
you about my Colorado story. So we went to Colorado

00:12:26.190 --> 00:12:29.850
and we visited this horse farm. Who happened

00:12:29.850 --> 00:12:34.350
to be family of my son's girlfriend. Okay. Anyway,

00:12:34.429 --> 00:12:37.129
you would think that Sasha would, being one -legged

00:12:37.129 --> 00:12:38.990
or three -legged and one -eyed, that she would

00:12:38.990 --> 00:12:43.490
have some sense of caution. She went after a

00:12:43.490 --> 00:12:46.450
horse. Oh, really? And the horse was like, okay,

00:12:46.710 --> 00:12:48.629
you want me to kill you? I'll kill you. And I'm

00:12:48.629 --> 00:12:50.409
like, stop. And she was like wanting to bite

00:12:50.409 --> 00:12:52.309
the horse. And I'm like, okay, whatever. And

00:12:52.309 --> 00:12:55.409
then later there was a cow sitting down. She

00:12:55.409 --> 00:12:58.220
goes under two fences. crawling through under

00:12:58.220 --> 00:13:00.639
two fences to get to this cow sitting down. And

00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.080
I'm like, that's probably not a good idea. We

00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:06.639
may have two dogs. Instead of three now. And

00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:09.419
so I run over there and I'm like, anyway, she's

00:13:09.419 --> 00:13:11.419
just not all that bright. I bet the cow was like,

00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:15.080
Jesus Christ. Yeah, the cow was like, you know

00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:16.799
what, bring it. You know, really, I got nothing.

00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:20.460
The dogs used to coyotes and all kinds of nefarious

00:13:20.460 --> 00:13:22.460
things out there in Colorado. I guess. But the

00:13:22.460 --> 00:13:24.059
cow was like, you know, bring it. I got nothing

00:13:24.059 --> 00:13:26.279
else to live for here. I made out of leather.

00:13:26.659 --> 00:13:30.399
I got my leathers on. It's like, dude, I've tackled

00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:32.360
way more than you before. I'm about to be steak.

00:13:34.169 --> 00:13:38.370
Anyway, so yeah, she... So what is Dawson's take

00:13:38.370 --> 00:13:42.190
on this? Oh, he is smitten. It's disgusting.

00:13:42.529 --> 00:13:44.990
Well, what about the behavior of the dog? Oh,

00:13:45.029 --> 00:13:47.529
it's cute. Yeah, it's cute right now, but I'm

00:13:47.529 --> 00:13:50.620
telling him... this and this and this and that

00:13:50.620 --> 00:13:53.039
and you need to be blue. But look, the dog is

00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:55.500
going through some growing pains right now. I

00:13:55.500 --> 00:13:58.480
mean, the dog has to figure out. The dog has

00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:01.919
been displaced. It was over at College Station.

00:14:02.059 --> 00:14:04.080
It was over our house. It went over to your house.

00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:07.559
It doesn't have a stable home. And it grew up

00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:10.600
in the streets. Yes. And so she's been skittish

00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:13.559
and nervous up until this point. And she has

00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.240
turned a corner and she has made this her home.

00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.559
It is her home. And I'm, and wow, what a change

00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.080
in personality. And I'm like. So is the son that

00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:27.519
is staying at your house, is he going to be there

00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:31.279
for a long term or is he? We're trying to figure

00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:33.980
that out. It's probably, it'll probably be a

00:14:33.980 --> 00:14:37.340
year. A year? Okay. I'm thinking it'll be a year

00:14:37.340 --> 00:14:39.419
because his girlfriend hasn't even moved down

00:14:39.419 --> 00:14:41.740
from Colorado yet. She's going to have to get

00:14:41.740 --> 00:14:43.940
a certification. She's got some medical issues

00:14:43.940 --> 00:14:47.610
she's got to resolve. His job is not going to

00:14:47.610 --> 00:14:52.129
move from one town to another town until he makes

00:14:52.129 --> 00:14:56.169
nothing. He has a very, very low salary. But

00:14:56.169 --> 00:14:58.450
he's going to get a very significant bump with

00:14:58.450 --> 00:15:01.570
a new promotion probably within six to eight

00:15:01.570 --> 00:15:04.149
months. So then they've got to find an apartment.

00:15:04.490 --> 00:15:06.330
You know what I mean? So I'm playing the long

00:15:06.330 --> 00:15:09.710
game here. It'll probably be a year. They want

00:15:09.710 --> 00:15:11.289
to get out earlier than that, and we're encouraging

00:15:11.289 --> 00:15:15.210
them to. When you can, bank some money and get

00:15:15.210 --> 00:15:18.250
a stable start. Why not? I tried that with Steven.

00:15:18.250 --> 00:15:20.049
And take your dog with you. Yeah, I tried that

00:15:20.049 --> 00:15:21.470
with Steven. And the dog is going with him. I

00:15:21.470 --> 00:15:23.549
can promise you that. Yeah, I tried that with

00:15:23.549 --> 00:15:25.710
Steven and they were anxious to start their life.

00:15:25.789 --> 00:15:28.129
And I get it. I respect that. Yeah. But I'm like,

00:15:28.169 --> 00:15:31.049
dude, if you could bank, you know, $1 ,500 a

00:15:31.049 --> 00:15:33.149
month. They'll understand that when they're our

00:15:33.149 --> 00:15:34.809
age. I know. They're like, shit, I probably should

00:15:34.809 --> 00:15:37.509
have done that. I know. Yeah. For sure. Yeah.

00:15:37.950 --> 00:15:39.610
I mean, when you have the opportunity to bank

00:15:39.610 --> 00:15:43.350
$1 ,500 to $2 ,000 a month for a down payment

00:15:43.350 --> 00:15:47.110
on a home or, you know, just to build up a nest

00:15:47.110 --> 00:15:50.669
egg, why not take it? But anyway, I get it. I

00:15:50.669 --> 00:15:51.929
get it. I mean, they're older, and they don't

00:15:51.929 --> 00:15:54.129
want to be the, you live with your parents? Seriously?

00:15:54.690 --> 00:15:57.629
Oh, my God. I moved down when I was 18. As soon

00:15:57.629 --> 00:16:00.929
as I graduated, I was gone. Gone. I get it. I

00:16:00.929 --> 00:16:04.769
get it. I mean, after college, I was gone. Yeah.

00:16:04.870 --> 00:16:06.669
After college, I was gone. I moved down here.

00:16:07.929 --> 00:16:10.970
$2 ,500 to my name, and I just picked the shit

00:16:10.970 --> 00:16:14.190
up and moved. Wow. You had that much? Yeah. Yeah,

00:16:14.210 --> 00:16:17.009
I didn't have $2 ,500. I mean, I graduated college

00:16:17.009 --> 00:16:18.950
and moved up here, and I don't think I had. I

00:16:18.950 --> 00:16:20.789
delivered pizzas. It was paycheck to paycheck

00:16:20.789 --> 00:16:23.370
until I built a nest egg. Yeah, I delivered pizzas

00:16:23.370 --> 00:16:27.929
for a while to save up money, and then me and

00:16:27.929 --> 00:16:29.730
a buddy just moved down here, didn't have a job.

00:16:29.730 --> 00:16:32.230
Oh, that's right. You did that crazy shit. Yeah,

00:16:32.309 --> 00:16:34.710
I didn't have anything. So I had $2 ,500 to live

00:16:34.710 --> 00:16:36.490
on. And when I was gone, I was going to have

00:16:36.490 --> 00:16:39.509
to move back. If only OnlyFans was around when

00:16:39.509 --> 00:16:41.629
you did that. Yeah, you would have had some incredible

00:16:41.629 --> 00:16:45.809
feet pics. Your feet are amazing. We were talking

00:16:45.809 --> 00:16:48.409
in the green room about retirement and finances

00:16:48.409 --> 00:16:50.350
and things like that before we started this second

00:16:50.350 --> 00:16:52.250
version. Have you guys ever been on your social

00:16:52.250 --> 00:16:55.909
security page? No. Actually, I have. It's been

00:16:55.909 --> 00:16:57.970
a very long time. I think I got a statement like

00:16:57.970 --> 00:17:00.990
10 years ago. No, you go to, I think it's my

00:17:00.990 --> 00:17:06.130
SSN. Maybe .gov, something like that. And you

00:17:06.130 --> 00:17:10.650
create a login for you, your social security

00:17:10.650 --> 00:17:12.269
number and things like that. And it'll tell you

00:17:12.269 --> 00:17:15.190
what to do. And it has all your history stuff.

00:17:15.789 --> 00:17:19.089
All your work history. Your yearly income from

00:17:19.089 --> 00:17:22.069
whenever you started working. From the very beginning,

00:17:22.170 --> 00:17:25.829
huh? It'll show you what your social security

00:17:25.829 --> 00:17:31.569
payments would be. Plug in an age, 65, 67, whatever

00:17:31.569 --> 00:17:34.720
it is. But it's fun to look back at those old

00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:38.099
salaries from 30 years ago. I mean, does it show

00:17:38.099 --> 00:17:42.400
you when you were even like an hourly employee,

00:17:43.420 --> 00:17:45.980
like at my movie theater when I was in college?

00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:49.170
As long as it was reportable, yeah. I mean, I

00:17:49.170 --> 00:17:52.250
have things on there. I was making $4 .85 an

00:17:52.250 --> 00:17:54.230
hour. I have things on there when I had high

00:17:54.230 --> 00:17:56.029
school jobs. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

00:17:56.109 --> 00:17:59.069
I made like $1 ,200 a year. Right. You know,

00:17:59.089 --> 00:18:00.789
because it was a summer job or something. You're

00:18:00.789 --> 00:18:03.529
right. Looking back on that would be so fun to

00:18:03.529 --> 00:18:06.869
do. So walk us through that. So how do you find

00:18:06.869 --> 00:18:14.470
out? So I'm at ssa .gov. Let's see. That sounds

00:18:14.470 --> 00:18:19.119
right. SSA. Social Security Administration. Is

00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:22.059
it card and record? Actually, I think the website

00:18:22.059 --> 00:18:27.440
is my, it might be my social security. I don't

00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:33.920
remember. My SSA. My SSA. So this is a, are we

00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:36.859
doing a case study? Create your personal my social

00:18:36.859 --> 00:18:39.720
security account today. That right there. We're

00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:43.519
walking everybody through their SSA case study

00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:46.400
at the moment. So you got on there and you can

00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:48.380
go back and reflect on how much you've made in

00:18:48.380 --> 00:18:50.940
the last 15, 20, 30, 40 years, whatever it was.

00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.480
Since you started paying Social Security. Wow.

00:18:53.579 --> 00:18:55.819
So you can actually see how much you're actually

00:18:55.819 --> 00:19:00.259
put into the system. Yep. Okay. So this discussion

00:19:00.259 --> 00:19:04.400
made me think of this. I think my dad kept his

00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:07.819
very first paycheck from General Electric. And

00:19:07.819 --> 00:19:10.279
I found it. Yes, he's holding it right now. What

00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:17.059
year? Insane. This is going to be great. General

00:19:17.059 --> 00:19:19.480
Electric, which is no slouch company. No, I don't

00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:20.740
know if it has a date on it. I'm sure it does

00:19:20.740 --> 00:19:27.500
somewhere. Oh, it does. But his net pay was $57

00:19:27.500 --> 00:19:33.579
.69. A week? For... What was the pay period?

00:19:33.940 --> 00:19:37.480
For 40 hours of work. Wow. A week. Oh, my gosh.

00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.569
That's a dollar an hour. It was $1 .73. For a

00:19:41.569 --> 00:19:45.690
big company. An hour. GE. General Electric. $1

00:19:45.690 --> 00:19:49.589
.73. I think this was his first. His gross pay

00:19:49.589 --> 00:19:54.890
was $68 .59. His net pay was $57 .69. Made $1

00:19:54.890 --> 00:20:00.029
.73 an hour. God almighty. My dad was a chemical

00:20:00.029 --> 00:20:01.849
engineer for golf, and I remember a long time

00:20:01.849 --> 00:20:03.809
ago, my mom told me that when they first got

00:20:03.809 --> 00:20:08.269
married in 1955, my dad was making $400 a month.

00:20:08.730 --> 00:20:12.160
This was... Yeah, this is... Same kind of thing.

00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:18.799
This was January 10th, 1965. Wow. And he probably

00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:21.700
was like, yeah, I'm rolling in the dough, baby.

00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:24.519
I'm going to hit the bars every Friday. 50 bucks

00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:26.859
for 40 hours. How many years did your dad work

00:20:26.859 --> 00:20:31.880
for GE? He retired there at age of 60, so 40

00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:34.579
plus years. Those were the days, man, when you

00:20:34.579 --> 00:20:37.799
stayed with a company for life. Yep, he did.

00:20:38.019 --> 00:20:39.839
But let's put things into perspective. So how

00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:42.900
much did you say a week? 60, 50 something? $57.

00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:47.019
Okay, so in 1965, beers were four cents a pint.

00:20:47.529 --> 00:20:50.529
They weren't quite that low. I'm kidding. But

00:20:50.529 --> 00:20:52.230
everything was cheaper. Remember they say a movie

00:20:52.230 --> 00:20:55.349
was a nickel. You know, he used to tell me that.

00:20:55.470 --> 00:20:58.369
But, yes, I mean, stuff was cheaper. It was cheaper.

00:20:58.390 --> 00:21:00.910
But you're getting paid $1 .73 an hour. Taxes

00:21:00.910 --> 00:21:03.049
were lower. Taxes were lower. Yes, they were.

00:21:04.789 --> 00:21:07.990
But, you know, the whole thing was. Look up how

00:21:07.990 --> 00:21:11.250
much a beer was in 1965 domestically, Chuck.

00:21:11.369 --> 00:21:13.730
See if you can find that. I bet you a beer was.

00:21:14.299 --> 00:21:16.019
Probably a dime or something like that. What

00:21:16.019 --> 00:21:18.960
year did you say? 1965? 1965. Do you think it

00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:22.000
was 80 cents for a beer? I have no idea. But

00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:24.559
that's a lot if he makes a dollar something an

00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:27.799
hour. And his paycheck was about $65? It's a

00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:30.980
week's pay for a six -pack. $57 net. Oh, a six

00:21:30.980 --> 00:21:34.480
-pack. A six -pack of beer was $1 .76. Or it's

00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:36.960
an hour's pay. An hour's pay. So an hour, you

00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:39.920
can get a six -pack. $57 net. According to this

00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:48.339
calculator, that was... $57 in 1965 in today's

00:21:48.339 --> 00:21:54.319
dollars is $583. A week. A week. There we go.

00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:56.180
I don't know what his job was. Well, I mean,

00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:59.380
and that's a very respectable salary. I think

00:21:59.380 --> 00:22:05.079
economics has fucked us. There's no way we're

00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:09.180
making the same percentage. So he was just out

00:22:09.180 --> 00:22:13.299
of the Navy. So he was. In 65, he was almost

00:22:13.299 --> 00:22:16.700
23. He would have turned 23 in April. So he was

00:22:16.700 --> 00:22:20.279
22 when he got this check. So Chuck, how much

00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:23.839
was a beer at a bar? Oh, at a bar. At a bar.

00:22:24.019 --> 00:22:26.099
Like going, you know, hey, you get off of work

00:22:26.099 --> 00:22:30.660
Friday, you just got paid at GE. In 1965, your

00:22:30.660 --> 00:22:32.779
dad was going with his buddies to the bar. It's

00:22:32.779 --> 00:22:35.299
$30 ,000 a year in today's dollars. And it says

00:22:35.299 --> 00:22:38.900
a 16 -ounce beer at a bar would have likely been

00:22:38.900 --> 00:22:44.839
less than a quarter. Oh, my God. That's insane.

00:22:46.299 --> 00:22:49.500
Yeah. It's probably 15 cents. And now they're,

00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:51.740
what, eight bucks? Well, I remember when I was

00:22:51.740 --> 00:22:55.420
in college in the early 80s at the Dixie Chicken

00:22:55.420 --> 00:22:57.799
Beer Joint there at Northgate on the north side

00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:02.680
of Texas A &M University, a Shiner beer was 65

00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:06.839
cents and a Miller Lite was 85 cents. Shiner

00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:09.720
was cheaper? It was. Yeah, I know when I was

00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:12.259
in college, I could get a six -pack of Schaefer's

00:23:12.259 --> 00:23:18.119
for $2. Schaefer's. But why would you do that?

00:23:18.180 --> 00:23:21.279
It was $2. It was two bucks. I know, I know.

00:23:21.380 --> 00:23:24.480
That's why. I remember a 12 -pack of Pearl beer.

00:23:24.579 --> 00:23:28.839
Oh, man. Yes. For like $4. I'd buy the big -ass

00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:33.180
Quartz for 89 cents of Pearl. Now our kids want,

00:23:33.339 --> 00:23:37.079
you know. all this expensive shit why don't you

00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:39.980
get like the bush light i have taste dad you

00:23:39.980 --> 00:23:42.920
remember strohs oh yeah it's not a bad beer it

00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:47.059
was a great beer yep and ham you ever try him

00:23:47.059 --> 00:23:50.099
i loved ham ham was great hams was good but hams

00:23:50.099 --> 00:23:52.240
what you can't get that in texas that was that

00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:57.299
was a wisconsin Do they still make ham? I don't

00:23:57.299 --> 00:23:59.000
think they still make it, but when it was available,

00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:01.420
I could not find it anywhere but Wisconsin. It

00:24:01.420 --> 00:24:03.799
had a logo of like a polar bear or something

00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:06.339
on it. I don't remember, but it was good. My

00:24:06.339 --> 00:24:08.420
dad used to sing the jingle. The jingle. It's

00:24:08.420 --> 00:24:11.740
two M's. Yeah, there it is. How about Olympia

00:24:11.740 --> 00:24:15.519
beer? Olympia. Oh, that's a Canadian beer. Seattle.

00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:20.319
Molson Quartz. North America. Well, Molson is

00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:23.160
Canadian. Did Molson buy Coors? Yes, they merged,

00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:26.740
yes. So they merged. So is it a Canadian company

00:24:26.740 --> 00:24:30.440
now or is it an American company now? Coors.

00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:33.740
Strange Brew? Well, Ham's is Minnesota. What

00:24:33.740 --> 00:24:35.220
are you singing, Molson? You've never seen the

00:24:35.220 --> 00:24:38.299
Strange Brew? Oh, yeah. Oh, right, right. We

00:24:38.299 --> 00:24:42.099
had a couple of beers in Cincinnati. We had Hutipol,

00:24:42.180 --> 00:24:45.720
which was in Cincinnati. We also had Weedemans.

00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:48.779
I don't think they make Weedamins anymore. I

00:24:48.779 --> 00:24:50.099
think I've seen that before. When I was a kid,

00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:53.579
my dad and all his buddies drank Falstaff. Oh,

00:24:53.579 --> 00:24:55.940
I remember seeing that. Which was awful. I didn't

00:24:55.940 --> 00:24:57.900
know that one. Which was weird. I know when I

00:24:57.900 --> 00:25:00.420
was growing up, the cool thing to do was have

00:25:00.420 --> 00:25:04.220
a beer can collection. Yeah. Did you have one?

00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:06.839
I did not have one. That's how I know all these.

00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:09.880
I had a Ham's, a Falstaff, a Genesee. I had all

00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:13.380
kinds of weird ones. Well, I was 10, so I wasn't

00:25:13.380 --> 00:25:16.089
a beer aficionado. You know what? He started

00:25:16.089 --> 00:25:18.549
early, Sean. The thing that kind of started that

00:25:18.549 --> 00:25:23.970
was Jimmy Carter's brother, Billy. And Billy

00:25:23.970 --> 00:25:27.410
started a beer called Billy Beer. Billy Beer.

00:25:27.569 --> 00:25:30.089
And it was kind of this tee -hee -hee, ha -ha

00:25:30.089 --> 00:25:32.829
-ha novelty, Billy Beer, because it's the president's

00:25:32.829 --> 00:25:35.690
son, right? Right. So people would start getting

00:25:35.690 --> 00:25:38.250
these Billy Beer cans. Ah, look what I have.

00:25:38.309 --> 00:25:40.089
And then they started collecting beer cans. That

00:25:40.089 --> 00:25:42.470
was sort of the genesis of it. Interesting. Yeah,

00:25:42.549 --> 00:25:45.680
I had a beer can. I probably had about 25. But

00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:48.279
they were tin. They weren't aluminum back in

00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:50.720
the day. They were with the pull tabs. Oh, the

00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:52.940
pull tab. And those things were everywhere. On

00:25:52.940 --> 00:25:56.500
the ground? Yeah. I guess they got buried because

00:25:56.500 --> 00:25:58.920
nobody picked them up. No one picked them up.

00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:00.819
No one's picking up that shit. It got buried

00:26:00.819 --> 00:26:03.700
under layers and layers of dirt. They're like

00:26:03.700 --> 00:26:06.779
little blades because they'd slice your fingers

00:26:06.779 --> 00:26:09.039
and your feet if you stepped on them wrong. They

00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:11.500
would. And then they invented the pop top. Yes.

00:26:13.179 --> 00:26:15.279
Interesting. I used to love, we used to vacation

00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:20.000
in Wisconsin and I loved doing that because I

00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:21.920
would get beers that you just, you couldn't get

00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:24.160
down here. Like lining Kugel was not down here.

00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:27.579
Lining Kugel. It was a very, it was a very local

00:26:27.579 --> 00:26:30.420
beer, but you could get all the different flavors

00:26:30.420 --> 00:26:33.079
of, of lining Kugel. Here you can only get like

00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:36.799
the shandy or the summer, summer shandy. Yeah.

00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:39.519
But up there, I mean, we, that's all we got when

00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:42.309
we, when we stayed at this. that we would rent

00:26:42.309 --> 00:26:43.849
every year. My parents would rent it every year.

00:26:43.849 --> 00:26:46.369
I like a Shandy. It's a beer with lemonade in

00:26:46.369 --> 00:26:48.329
it. It's not bad, but you should try the other

00:26:48.329 --> 00:26:49.609
Leinenkugels. They're not here. They used to

00:26:49.609 --> 00:26:52.089
make an orange Shandy that you used to be able

00:26:52.089 --> 00:26:53.670
to get down here that I really liked. You can't

00:26:53.670 --> 00:26:55.670
find it anymore. I just wish that the standard

00:26:55.670 --> 00:26:57.970
Leinenkugel stuff was down here. I would totally

00:26:57.970 --> 00:26:59.190
buy it. When they started doing that, that's

00:26:59.190 --> 00:27:01.819
when the craft beer stuff started. That was kind

00:27:01.819 --> 00:27:03.599
of the birth of that when they started adding

00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:07.339
the – there was like a Wicked's Pete Ale. They

00:27:07.339 --> 00:27:09.720
just added different flavors to it. I mean, part

00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:11.359
of me was kind of like, that's gay. The other

00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:13.099
part was kind of like, I kind of like that. Yeah,

00:27:13.099 --> 00:27:14.799
I like the Orange Shandy. I drank the shit out

00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:17.619
of that one summer. Back in the day when we were

00:27:17.619 --> 00:27:23.640
young, the beer in the store was Budweiser, Schlitz,

00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:26.930
and Miller. That was pretty much it. Ballantine,

00:27:27.250 --> 00:27:29.869
Pabst, Rheingold. You're saying before Miller

00:27:29.869 --> 00:27:32.910
Lite. You're saying Miller. Long time ago. Yeah.

00:27:33.230 --> 00:27:36.509
And as I mentioned in the first part of the cast,

00:27:36.789 --> 00:27:40.190
walking down the bourbon aisle, it's almost overwhelming.

00:27:40.450 --> 00:27:42.009
It is. It's the same with the beers, man. It

00:27:42.009 --> 00:27:45.170
is. You go to the beer aisle, it's like, what?

00:27:45.329 --> 00:27:47.970
I've never heard of most of these. Yeah. I was

00:27:47.970 --> 00:27:52.369
really upset during COVID because my beer was,

00:27:52.470 --> 00:27:57.900
not MGD Lite, Miller High Life Light. Miller

00:27:57.900 --> 00:28:00.059
High Life, they still have. Miller High Life

00:28:00.059 --> 00:28:02.880
Light, even though it was around since the 40s,

00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:06.700
they canceled it during COVID. And then I was

00:28:06.700 --> 00:28:09.339
like... I blame Fauci. Dude, yeah. I mean, seriously,

00:28:09.420 --> 00:28:11.420
though, when you have a go -to for a beer and

00:28:11.420 --> 00:28:14.200
suddenly they just discontinue it, I was like...

00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:15.559
I mean, I know there's a lot of beer choices,

00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:17.839
but it's... Yeah, the blue one. The blue one.

00:28:17.859 --> 00:28:19.619
That's what I used to drink. And I'd get the

00:28:19.619 --> 00:28:23.319
whole 36 -pack. It was great. Looks like you

00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:24.940
could get it. Oh, 30 -pack. Sorry, 30 -pack.

00:28:25.289 --> 00:28:27.769
Can you still buy that? What? No, you cannot.

00:28:28.329 --> 00:28:30.289
Unless they brought it back. It says it's free.

00:28:32.089 --> 00:28:34.990
$16 for a 30 -pack. Miller beer. Did they bring

00:28:34.990 --> 00:28:36.910
it back? Miller beer. Is this a joke that we're

00:28:36.910 --> 00:28:39.009
looking at right now? Just the traditional Miller

00:28:39.009 --> 00:28:41.869
in the gold can, the champagne of beers. Yes.

00:28:42.049 --> 00:28:44.690
It's a good beer. The Miller High Life. Miller

00:28:44.690 --> 00:28:46.069
High Life. That's it. Then they came up with

00:28:46.069 --> 00:28:49.589
Miller Genuine Draft, which is the champagne.

00:28:50.569 --> 00:28:52.950
MGD, MGD Light. And back in the day, if you wanted

00:28:52.950 --> 00:28:56.400
to be hoity -toity, you got... Michelob. Oh,

00:28:56.400 --> 00:29:00.140
yeah. Michelob was the expensive beer. Yeah.

00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:02.079
Remember when they went through the ice phase?

00:29:02.460 --> 00:29:05.900
Everything was ice. Yeah. What was it? Something

00:29:05.900 --> 00:29:10.400
house ice. Bud ice and all that. Ice house. That's

00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:12.859
what it was. Ice house. Now, what was so fancy

00:29:12.859 --> 00:29:14.460
about the ice house? It was higher proof, right?

00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:17.680
I mean, it was higher. I don't know. Higher alcohol

00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:19.500
content. I think it had higher alcohol content.

00:29:19.619 --> 00:29:21.859
It did. I think it did. And that was the draw

00:29:21.859 --> 00:29:25.339
of it. Yeah. Bud ice. Molson ice. Yes, everything

00:29:25.339 --> 00:29:28.940
ice. Milwaukee's best ice. What the hell, man?

00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:33.240
Natural ice. Yeah, what was the draw of that?

00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:37.019
It was a malt liquor, I think, and it had more

00:29:37.019 --> 00:29:39.319
alcohol in it. Yeah, standard alcohol content

00:29:39.319 --> 00:29:42.519
of 5 .5. They froze it and filtered some ice

00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:46.779
crystals out, so it was kind of stronger. Oh.

00:29:46.779 --> 00:29:49.259
Well, it was. Ah, there you go. And we were,

00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:50.799
you know. There's Chuck the producer with the

00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:53.359
tick ticker. Ticker ticker. And we were the macho

00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:57.799
college kids drinking the ice. Ice beer. I didn't

00:29:57.799 --> 00:29:59.779
like it. I didn't like the ice stuff. I didn't

00:29:59.779 --> 00:30:03.000
either. I didn't either. So when you go to the

00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:06.220
grocery store now to pick up a 12 -pack of beer,

00:30:06.339 --> 00:30:13.519
what do you buy? Dude. Probably, I like the Yingling.

00:30:14.089 --> 00:30:16.190
Yeah, those are good. I like the Yingling, the

00:30:16.190 --> 00:30:18.390
light. I like the light beers. Like I said in

00:30:18.390 --> 00:30:21.289
the first half. The light lagers. Yeah, the light

00:30:21.289 --> 00:30:25.269
lagers. I tried every single craft beer out there,

00:30:25.369 --> 00:30:27.269
the really rich stuff and stuff like that. I

00:30:27.269 --> 00:30:29.390
can't drink that stuff anymore. I'll get one

00:30:29.390 --> 00:30:31.769
every now and then, and it's almost too much

00:30:31.769 --> 00:30:34.490
for me. So I like the light beers now. Just because

00:30:34.490 --> 00:30:36.529
I... you know, this is crazy I'm drinking this,

00:30:36.690 --> 00:30:40.430
but, you know, the really hearty, hardcore beer

00:30:40.430 --> 00:30:42.230
is really strong ones. I have a hard time drinking

00:30:42.230 --> 00:30:44.250
it. Yeah, said the guy drinking a bourbon with

00:30:44.250 --> 00:30:48.089
the consistency of molasses. I got to break in

00:30:48.089 --> 00:30:49.809
with breaking news that you just handed to me.

00:30:49.869 --> 00:30:53.109
So it says, Jeff just handed me his phone, Miller

00:30:53.109 --> 00:30:56.190
High Life Light beer is still being produced.

00:30:56.250 --> 00:31:00.349
It was discontinued in 2021, reintroduced last

00:31:00.349 --> 00:31:04.069
year, 2024. Currently available in select Midwest

00:31:04.069 --> 00:31:07.009
markets. Let's see. You can check availability

00:31:07.009 --> 00:31:10.670
near you using the brand's product locator. Dude,

00:31:10.809 --> 00:31:14.809
I have to get Total Wine to start stocking this

00:31:14.809 --> 00:31:17.730
again. This is huge news for me. I don't care.

00:31:17.750 --> 00:31:19.069
I'll do it. You'll probably get a taste and go,

00:31:19.150 --> 00:31:20.990
this is like shit. God, this Miller Lite's way

00:31:20.990 --> 00:31:24.069
better than this. I'll get Miller Lite. I can't

00:31:24.069 --> 00:31:25.190
believe that. I don't mind Miller Lite. That

00:31:25.190 --> 00:31:28.000
is great news. I'm glad we did this podcast tonight.

00:31:28.099 --> 00:31:30.579
I just found out great news for me. I can see

00:31:30.579 --> 00:31:32.980
the relief on your face. I know. I kind of gravitate

00:31:32.980 --> 00:31:35.799
towards some lighter stuff. I like Rolling Rock.

00:31:36.059 --> 00:31:37.519
Yeah, I like Rolling Rock. Pennsylvania beer.

00:31:37.740 --> 00:31:41.079
I like Heineken. I really do. I like Heineken.

00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:42.980
I don't mind it. I'm not a huge Heineken fan.

00:31:43.059 --> 00:31:45.119
I can drink it, but there's a lot of others I

00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:47.799
prefer better. I like Killian's Red. That was

00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:52.299
a high night in college when Mom and Dad came

00:31:52.299 --> 00:31:54.079
in. Let's get Killian's Red. You remember Red

00:31:54.079 --> 00:31:59.369
Dog? I love Flipper, the big red dog. No. No?

00:31:59.509 --> 00:32:01.410
You guys never drank Red Dog? Is that a cartoon?

00:32:02.049 --> 00:32:05.130
No, it was a drink. Beer! There was a red beer

00:32:05.130 --> 00:32:08.420
craze. Oh, yeah, the premium beer, the Red Dog.

00:32:08.579 --> 00:32:10.839
Yeah, there was a, like you said, Killian's Red.

00:32:11.880 --> 00:32:16.000
Killian's Red. Yeah, there was a Red craze while

00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:17.920
I was in college, and Red Dog was one of them.

00:32:17.940 --> 00:32:20.519
It was good. How about Gilly's Big Mouth? Remember

00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:22.880
those? There it is, Red Dog. I remember Mickey,

00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:25.900
Big Mouth Mickey's. Yeah, Mickey's Big Mouth.

00:32:27.369 --> 00:32:29.490
Cream ale, isn't it? Yeah. What other cream ales

00:32:29.490 --> 00:32:30.809
were there? There was a Genesee. No, I think

00:32:30.809 --> 00:32:32.890
it was just a regular lager, but it had a big

00:32:32.890 --> 00:32:34.990
opening at the top. Yeah, man, that was like

00:32:34.990 --> 00:32:37.309
one of my first experiences. And I tell you what,

00:32:37.410 --> 00:32:41.450
I lived in New Jersey, and there was a creek

00:32:41.450 --> 00:32:44.890
by our house. Oh, it's malt liquor. Somebody

00:32:44.890 --> 00:32:48.730
went fishing, and I guess they got up, and they

00:32:48.730 --> 00:32:50.730
went somewhere. I don't know where, but they

00:32:50.730 --> 00:32:55.279
left their cooler. There were like 12 Mickeys

00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:57.900
in there. And my friends were, I had like two

00:32:57.900 --> 00:32:59.460
of my buddies. We walked by there. Oh, look,

00:32:59.500 --> 00:33:01.019
there's the cooler there. And you were like eight

00:33:01.019 --> 00:33:03.220
years old? We opened it, I don't remember how

00:33:03.220 --> 00:33:06.690
many, 12, 13. And you drank them? Well, I had

00:33:06.690 --> 00:33:09.690
one or two. I mean, hell, they were ice cold.

00:33:09.750 --> 00:33:11.710
There was ice in there, and I popped the lid

00:33:11.710 --> 00:33:13.349
on that. I was like, this is the best shit I

00:33:13.349 --> 00:33:15.450
fucking ever drank in my life. Oh, my God. And

00:33:15.450 --> 00:33:17.930
it had the big old mouth, so you could slam it.

00:33:17.950 --> 00:33:20.089
I was thirsty. And they came back, and they were

00:33:20.089 --> 00:33:21.849
like, what the fuck, man? No, they never came

00:33:21.849 --> 00:33:23.369
back. I don't know. I guess they actually do

00:33:23.369 --> 00:33:26.369
things, and you forget, or maybe. I don't know.

00:33:26.470 --> 00:33:28.390
I don't have. Yeah, the first. I do, but I got

00:33:28.390 --> 00:33:31.950
toasted off of it. The first beer I had was Little

00:33:31.950 --> 00:33:35.539
King's Cream Ale. Oh, yummy. They used to sell

00:33:35.539 --> 00:33:38.359
seven ounce bottles. That sounds so perverted.

00:33:38.579 --> 00:33:41.220
Seven ounces. Seven ounce bottles. A little green

00:33:41.220 --> 00:33:43.779
bottle. And you could buy like a 30 pack. You'd

00:33:43.779 --> 00:33:46.980
need a 30 pack. Yeah. And you'd go to a party

00:33:46.980 --> 00:33:48.599
and everyone would bring one of these. And there'd

00:33:48.599 --> 00:33:51.440
be these green bottles everywhere. How old were

00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:52.920
you? This was in high school? This was in high

00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:57.789
school, yeah. You underage drank? I was 21 in

00:33:57.789 --> 00:34:03.069
high school. You were 21 in high school? What

00:34:03.069 --> 00:34:07.190
the hell, man? We went to a party, my wife and

00:34:07.190 --> 00:34:11.909
I, and we go to the store. And we were arguing

00:34:11.909 --> 00:34:13.710
about something because she wasn't sure what

00:34:13.710 --> 00:34:14.969
she wanted to drink. And, you know, she would

00:34:14.969 --> 00:34:16.750
just pick something out for me. It's like, no,

00:34:16.789 --> 00:34:18.530
you go outside. You go get some drinks. Yeah,

00:34:18.550 --> 00:34:20.369
that doesn't go well. She went inside and got

00:34:20.369 --> 00:34:22.409
drinks. And she picked me up something. She picks

00:34:22.409 --> 00:34:25.349
me up like a 10 -pack of these little 7, 8 -ounce

00:34:25.349 --> 00:34:28.710
bottled beers. And she gets in the car. She was

00:34:28.710 --> 00:34:31.369
like, I know she did it on purpose. I get to

00:34:31.369 --> 00:34:33.429
the freaking venue, wherever the hell we're at.

00:34:33.980 --> 00:34:37.800
I drink all of them in 30 minutes. It was ridiculous.

00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:41.239
Those seven, eight ouncers, that is silly. You

00:34:41.239 --> 00:34:43.219
could kill them really fast. Oh, my gosh. I was

00:34:43.219 --> 00:34:45.380
like, glug, glug, glug, done. Seriously? They're

00:34:45.380 --> 00:34:48.420
teasers. One of the beer brands, their smaller

00:34:48.420 --> 00:34:51.179
bottle, it was called a Pony. Was that Budweiser?

00:34:51.539 --> 00:34:54.539
Pony Keg? No, not the Keg. It was the smaller

00:34:54.539 --> 00:34:59.199
little bottles of beer. Was it Miller Ponies?

00:34:59.199 --> 00:35:02.139
Miller High Life. Miller had a pony beard. Oh,

00:35:02.139 --> 00:35:03.960
good Lord. Yeah, he's got these little tiny ones

00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:05.500
up there. Yeah, seven ounce. Yeah, that's what

00:35:05.500 --> 00:35:09.159
the little king sizes were. Why? Come on. Oh,

00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:12.039
look at those little ones to the left of the

00:35:12.039 --> 00:35:13.420
Miller Lite. I've seen those. What are those?

00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:16.619
Oh, those are Miller High Life. Oh, they're so

00:35:16.619 --> 00:35:19.400
dainty. Miller High Life. They're adorable. Yeah,

00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:22.360
the pony eight pack. Yeah, Miller High Life ponies.

00:35:22.699 --> 00:35:24.780
Why would anybody do that? I don't know. I guess

00:35:24.780 --> 00:35:27.300
if you don't want it to get warm. Well, I mean,

00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:29.719
I don't know. Maybe you're hopping in the car,

00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:31.619
and you're driving to a venue real quick, and

00:35:31.619 --> 00:35:33.239
you've got a 10 -minute ride, and you want to

00:35:33.239 --> 00:35:35.619
slam a beer. Then you slam a 12 -ounce. Maybe

00:35:35.619 --> 00:35:38.619
you have small hands. Yeah, small hands. That

00:35:38.619 --> 00:35:43.000
explains it. It is tapered. So when did the big

00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:49.019
mouth cans start? Remember the wide mouth? In

00:35:49.019 --> 00:35:52.840
the 70s, I think. No. It was later than that.

00:35:53.730 --> 00:35:55.650
When did the wide -mouthed cans kick into play?

00:35:55.650 --> 00:35:58.230
I remember those in high school. And, dude, you

00:35:58.230 --> 00:36:00.550
could suck them down way faster when they did

00:36:00.550 --> 00:36:02.929
the wide -mouthed. Remember that? Yeah, yeah.

00:36:03.550 --> 00:36:06.550
I remember that in high school. Here we go. See,

00:36:06.710 --> 00:36:11.829
I thought so. 90s. Late 90s. No, those Mickey

00:36:11.829 --> 00:36:15.309
big -mouthed. No. We're talking about the cans,

00:36:15.630 --> 00:36:18.570
the wide -mouthed cans. Well, yeah, the cans,

00:36:18.789 --> 00:36:21.090
but the big -mouthed Mickeys, I mean, those were.

00:36:21.329 --> 00:36:23.369
That was a bottle. Yeah, they were a big old,

00:36:23.429 --> 00:36:25.929
they were great. Like a jar. Yeah, we're talking

00:36:25.929 --> 00:36:27.769
about the cans. I'm telling you, I haven't really,

00:36:27.869 --> 00:36:31.050
we haven't dove into that experience, but when

00:36:31.050 --> 00:36:33.449
I drank like two or three of those Big Mouth

00:36:33.449 --> 00:36:36.789
Mickey's, it was hot, it was a summer day, and

00:36:36.789 --> 00:36:39.349
I slammed that frickin' beer, and I got shit

00:36:39.349 --> 00:36:41.210
-faced. And I didn't even know what being shit

00:36:41.210 --> 00:36:44.630
-faced was about. You were 12. 12. I had no idea

00:36:44.630 --> 00:36:46.130
what this was, what was going on. And that started

00:36:46.130 --> 00:36:51.079
a long string of just abusive drinking. Look

00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:52.360
at that. The camera, you had to actually have

00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:54.340
a can opener to get your beer. Yeah, you had

00:36:54.340 --> 00:36:58.719
to have the church key. The church key. That's

00:36:58.719 --> 00:37:01.909
what it was called. Of all things, to open a

00:37:01.909 --> 00:37:04.090
beer. Yeah. Oh, that's funny. I've also had these

00:37:04.090 --> 00:37:06.570
beers where the whole lid comes off of the can.

00:37:06.849 --> 00:37:08.929
What? Yeah. Yeah, I've had those. Like a soup

00:37:08.929 --> 00:37:11.469
can? No, it's like that blue can right there.

00:37:11.730 --> 00:37:14.650
Like a soup can. Yeah. Yes. The whole lid pulls

00:37:14.650 --> 00:37:17.269
off. I've had those. I've never seen that. God,

00:37:18.150 --> 00:37:20.050
you can suck those down so fast. It's lacerated

00:37:20.050 --> 00:37:23.550
lips. No, I mean, this is nice, smooth. Yeah,

00:37:23.550 --> 00:37:25.150
it was smooth. A nice, smooth circle. It was

00:37:25.150 --> 00:37:29.719
rounded. Wow. Normally, if I go to the store

00:37:29.719 --> 00:37:32.500
to buy beer, I just get Coors Light. You're a

00:37:32.500 --> 00:37:36.059
Coors Light guy. Well, you did. You didn't do

00:37:36.059 --> 00:37:38.500
this on purpose, but it was a result of a party

00:37:38.500 --> 00:37:41.300
that you had, and you bought specific brands,

00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:46.780
and you recall the ratio or how much people were

00:37:46.780 --> 00:37:48.639
drinking through the night. And you had shared

00:37:48.639 --> 00:37:50.260
that with me at one point. This was years ago

00:37:50.260 --> 00:37:53.440
when we were working together. You said you had

00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:56.159
a party at your house, and you bought Bud Light,

00:37:56.239 --> 00:37:59.400
Coors Light. And people gravitated towards a

00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:02.079
specific beer. The one that went like hotcakes

00:38:02.079 --> 00:38:08.559
was the Ultra. Ultras are so hot. All the young

00:38:08.559 --> 00:38:10.619
generation is nothing but Ultras. As a matter

00:38:10.619 --> 00:38:12.440
of fact, we ran out. I had to send somebody to

00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:15.679
the store to get some more. Because it tastes

00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:18.639
like water. And I think if you're new to beer.

00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:21.000
it's a good beer to start with because it's not

00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:24.460
real strong. But it's not a starter for a lot

00:38:24.460 --> 00:38:26.739
of people. It's their go -to. Like, it's my oldest

00:38:26.739 --> 00:38:29.800
son's go -to. Well, it is now, yes. Well, I don't

00:38:29.800 --> 00:38:33.320
know. I think it's marketing. It's got to be.

00:38:33.940 --> 00:38:36.599
I like it because it's light. It's not heavy.

00:38:37.059 --> 00:38:39.519
Like, if I go out to get a cheeseburger, fries,

00:38:39.739 --> 00:38:42.179
and a beer, I like to get an Ultra because it

00:38:42.179 --> 00:38:45.039
doesn't fill you up. It doesn't bloat you. Exactly.

00:38:45.219 --> 00:38:47.969
Yeah. I got you. It's only 95 calories, 2 .6

00:38:47.969 --> 00:38:50.309
carbs. Well, I find that when you take a beer

00:38:50.309 --> 00:38:52.409
and you pour it in a pipe, and I know I'm weird.

00:38:52.809 --> 00:38:56.510
I'm weird. But when I take my beers, I like to

00:38:56.510 --> 00:39:00.510
deflate them. I'll take a straw and I'll stick

00:39:00.510 --> 00:39:02.789
it in the glass and I'll stir it. And I'll try

00:39:02.789 --> 00:39:05.929
to... Of a beer? Of a beer. I'll try to make

00:39:05.929 --> 00:39:10.250
it more flat. Yes. Yes. Have you ever had some

00:39:10.250 --> 00:39:14.070
of those super... carbonized beer and you drink

00:39:14.070 --> 00:39:16.110
it and then you're bloated. You're bloated and

00:39:16.110 --> 00:39:18.409
you're like, oh my God, I feel so horrible. I

00:39:18.409 --> 00:39:20.030
feel like a beached whale. And then all of a

00:39:20.030 --> 00:39:23.949
sudden, oh, this big old guttural burp comes

00:39:23.949 --> 00:39:26.010
out and then you're like, oh, I feel better.

00:39:26.090 --> 00:39:27.550
I feel better now. Let me go drink another one.

00:39:28.150 --> 00:39:30.289
Yeah, but that's, I kind of like doing that.

00:39:30.329 --> 00:39:32.610
So you put a straw in it and you stir it? Yeah,

00:39:32.610 --> 00:39:35.250
or the idea is you stir it. You stir the beer.

00:39:35.469 --> 00:39:36.789
I've seen, he does it a lot. I've seen him do

00:39:36.789 --> 00:39:38.449
that. Yeah, you just get it, you make it foam.

00:39:38.650 --> 00:39:40.429
I've never done that. I drink beer like a man.

00:39:41.799 --> 00:39:47.059
Well, I mean... Yeah, where you get bloated.

00:39:47.139 --> 00:39:49.840
He's speechless. This is rare. I was like, really?

00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:52.159
No, I get what you're saying. Actually, I do

00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:55.179
that very same thing with sodas, like root beer

00:39:55.179 --> 00:39:56.800
or Coke. I like it a little... Because of the

00:39:56.800 --> 00:39:59.019
bubbles? I like it a little flatter than how

00:39:59.019 --> 00:40:01.320
it comes out of the can, so I get it. I see what

00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:04.119
you're talking about. I hear you. I guess I can't

00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:06.769
wait that long. I just have to... Drink it as

00:40:06.769 --> 00:40:10.010
fast as possible. Well, we ended up going to

00:40:10.010 --> 00:40:13.550
a venue this past Friday. We talked about getting

00:40:13.550 --> 00:40:16.170
blown up on Friday. Well, Paul was out of town

00:40:16.170 --> 00:40:18.210
gallivating in Colorado. Good for you, by the

00:40:18.210 --> 00:40:20.050
way. I'm not dogging you on that. I'm happy.

00:40:20.170 --> 00:40:22.269
I wish I was able to do that with my wife. But

00:40:22.269 --> 00:40:24.929
anyways. It was fun. So we went out. There was

00:40:24.929 --> 00:40:30.130
a Scott. Scott Cash from JS Held and Larry Hokai.

00:40:30.210 --> 00:40:33.650
Shout out to you two guys. They were, I guess,

00:40:33.650 --> 00:40:36.250
sponsored or they kind of took care of an opportunity

00:40:36.250 --> 00:40:38.489
for us to go out to a venue. It was the Guitar

00:40:38.489 --> 00:40:40.769
Sanctuary McKinney. Guitar, yeah. They're at

00:40:40.769 --> 00:40:44.349
the Adriatica region. Yeah, Adriatica of Virginia

00:40:44.349 --> 00:40:48.349
in McKinney. And it is a fantastic venue. You

00:40:48.349 --> 00:40:50.610
know, they do weddings there, small events. It

00:40:50.610 --> 00:40:51.889
looked really cool. Yeah, it was a nice stage.

00:40:51.949 --> 00:40:54.349
It was a raised stage. They had a balcony area.

00:40:54.630 --> 00:40:56.469
Yeah, they have an excellent sound system there.

00:40:57.239 --> 00:41:00.780
Not a huge venue, probably 150, couple hundred

00:41:00.780 --> 00:41:04.300
people. Maybe. And Sass Jordan played. A Sass

00:41:04.300 --> 00:41:06.559
Jordan -like person played there, for sure. Oh,

00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:08.400
whatever. It was not Sass Jordan. It was not,

00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:10.539
but it was still a liar. Jeff, you're a liar.

00:41:10.619 --> 00:41:12.059
She walked up there, and I was like, I'm going

00:41:12.059 --> 00:41:14.639
to tell her. That was Maylee Thomas. It was the

00:41:14.639 --> 00:41:17.519
Maylee Thomas Band, and they opened up for this

00:41:17.519 --> 00:41:21.159
particular venue. Shout out to them. They were

00:41:21.159 --> 00:41:23.340
fantastic. I'll tell you what. The band, by the

00:41:23.340 --> 00:41:25.960
way, she was a great singer. You know, the band

00:41:25.960 --> 00:41:29.539
was okay. They had some original music, and I'll

00:41:29.539 --> 00:41:32.119
tell you what really made or break them was the

00:41:32.119 --> 00:41:34.800
saxophone player. Yeah, he was good. Yeah, he

00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:37.860
was really good. I found his name is Nerdy Leon.

00:41:40.960 --> 00:41:44.860
That's his name. He is from Hungary. Oh, I'm

00:41:44.860 --> 00:41:48.980
sorry. Seems like very reliable information.

00:41:49.679 --> 00:41:52.280
Yeah, he's from Hungary, which is right next

00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:58.389
to Thurstory. Like Budapest? No. Look, this guy

00:41:58.389 --> 00:42:00.789
was an incredible saxophone player. That's cool.

00:42:00.969 --> 00:42:03.809
Incredible. Is he a regular member of the band?

00:42:04.150 --> 00:42:06.469
Yeah, he's not in that picture there, but I checked

00:42:06.469 --> 00:42:09.210
their platform, and he's on all the rest of them.

00:42:09.289 --> 00:42:13.650
So he is a regular. Well, that's cool. Now, that's

00:42:13.650 --> 00:42:16.449
not an updated picture. So shout out to the Maylee

00:42:16.449 --> 00:42:19.150
Thomas Band. They were fantastic. So Maylee's

00:42:19.150 --> 00:42:21.829
husband, George Fuller, he was an accompanist

00:42:21.829 --> 00:42:25.250
musician. He's a guitarist. He had like a variety

00:42:25.250 --> 00:42:27.130
of guitars up there, which seemed to me kind

00:42:27.130 --> 00:42:28.869
of pompous. But yeah, whatever. If I had that

00:42:28.869 --> 00:42:30.769
stuff, I'd be doing the same thing. But he wasn't

00:42:30.769 --> 00:42:35.610
a fantastical guitarist. I mean, he wasn't ripping

00:42:35.610 --> 00:42:38.710
out some major solos or anything like that. But

00:42:38.710 --> 00:42:41.559
he was solid. He played, and the band worked

00:42:41.559 --> 00:42:45.840
well. The bass player was great. I don't have

00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:50.619
anything. They were a good to very good band.

00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:53.019
They were an excellent band. They were fun to

00:42:53.019 --> 00:42:55.380
see. They're local. I'd recommend you go see

00:42:55.380 --> 00:42:59.059
them. She actually mainly also hosts a weekly

00:42:59.059 --> 00:43:03.400
radio show and a podcast, 95 .3 on the range.

00:43:04.300 --> 00:43:05.820
Interesting. I don't know if you guys knew that.

00:43:05.940 --> 00:43:09.739
I didn't know that. I like that station. She

00:43:09.739 --> 00:43:12.280
plays on there. She's got the homegrown music,

00:43:12.360 --> 00:43:14.519
interviews Texas talent, and the stories behind

00:43:14.519 --> 00:43:19.360
their music. I like that. It was fun. It was

00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:24.039
a great night. Yeah, that's part of it right

00:43:24.039 --> 00:43:26.139
there. I don't think YouTube could bust us for

00:43:26.139 --> 00:43:28.659
playing this. Yeah, no kidding. Yeah, it's off

00:43:28.659 --> 00:43:33.079
of YouTube. She's cute, too. I mean, she's a

00:43:33.079 --> 00:43:38.630
little bit older. The Average Bear? Older than

00:43:38.630 --> 00:43:41.269
me, for sure. I don't even care about that. It

00:43:41.269 --> 00:43:44.309
was fun. The second band was Texas Flood. If

00:43:44.309 --> 00:43:50.369
you are a fan of Stevie Ray Vaughan, these guys

00:43:50.369 --> 00:43:55.090
were fan -fucking -tastic. That's all I've got

00:43:55.090 --> 00:43:58.530
to say. They were top -notch. I mean, I'm not

00:43:58.530 --> 00:44:01.150
a huge Stevie Ray Vaughan aficionado. I know

00:44:01.150 --> 00:44:05.030
a few things. This guy's good. This guy's really,

00:44:05.070 --> 00:44:07.110
really good. The guitarist. Actually, the bass

00:44:07.110 --> 00:44:09.530
player was the drummer. I was watching the drummer,

00:44:09.630 --> 00:44:12.909
and he's just so... He seems so laid back. He's

00:44:12.909 --> 00:44:15.869
just... So chill. Yeah, he was. Effortless. He's

00:44:15.869 --> 00:44:18.349
effortless. Yeah, he was just... This was more

00:44:18.349 --> 00:44:22.590
animated here than he was the other night. But

00:44:22.590 --> 00:44:24.829
they're outstanding. I recommend it. If you like

00:44:24.829 --> 00:44:28.289
this stuff, go find it. If you like blues, rock,

00:44:28.449 --> 00:44:31.300
Texas -style rock... These guys were tremendous.

00:44:31.659 --> 00:44:35.000
I'm reiterating exactly what you just said, but

00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:39.659
they were great. And he was so good with the

00:44:39.659 --> 00:44:42.300
guitar. So good. I mean, and we were right up

00:44:42.300 --> 00:44:45.780
there. We had table one. Yeah, we were right

00:44:45.780 --> 00:44:48.360
in front. Table one and table two is what we

00:44:48.360 --> 00:44:50.300
had. So we were right there in front. We were

00:44:50.300 --> 00:44:53.139
two feet from him. And to see somebody play like

00:44:53.139 --> 00:44:56.719
that is just incredible. You know what I would

00:44:56.719 --> 00:45:00.280
appreciate about this? A lot of times we go to

00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:03.000
Rebel and we watch these kind of cheesy cover

00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:05.980
bands, right? And I'm not saying they're not

00:45:05.980 --> 00:45:10.199
good artists, but they're all about being Motley

00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:13.619
Crue or Van Halen or they're cheesy cover bands,

00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:16.079
right? They're not their own bands, you know,

00:45:16.079 --> 00:45:18.280
being their own people. And it's okay to play

00:45:18.280 --> 00:45:20.800
cover songs, right? But you don't have to be,

00:45:21.019 --> 00:45:24.469
you're not a gimmick band, right? And these kind

00:45:24.469 --> 00:45:26.070
of bands seem like they're not gimmick bands.

00:45:26.170 --> 00:45:29.989
They're real bands that play some of their original

00:45:29.989 --> 00:45:33.030
stuff. But again, they're just guys that are

00:45:33.030 --> 00:45:36.309
phenomenal musicians doing their thing. Yeah,

00:45:36.349 --> 00:45:38.250
all three of them. I think the bass player popped

00:45:38.250 --> 00:45:40.449
a string for a song. Is that what you said, Chuck?

00:45:41.170 --> 00:45:44.989
Somebody said he popped a string. He had to swap

00:45:44.989 --> 00:45:47.650
out the bass. The Texas Flood is a blues band

00:45:47.650 --> 00:45:49.989
based in Dallas, Texas, gained recognition for

00:45:49.989 --> 00:45:51.630
their authentic tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan.

00:45:51.690 --> 00:45:53.880
The band's kept... Captivating performances,

00:45:54.019 --> 00:45:56.079
channel the spirit of the blues legend, making

00:45:56.079 --> 00:45:58.119
them the premier Stevie Ray Vaughan tribute band

00:45:58.119 --> 00:46:00.960
in the world, they're claiming here. At the store,

00:46:01.099 --> 00:46:03.320
forefront of the Texas Flood guitarist, vocalist

00:46:03.320 --> 00:46:06.280
Tommy Katona. Katona originally from Hungary.

00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:09.119
Maybe that was the guy that's from Hungary. The

00:46:09.119 --> 00:46:12.000
other guy's from, I forget actually. Exhibits

00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:14.760
are remarkable. Anyways, he was just badass.

00:46:14.920 --> 00:46:16.679
I can go into this whole. I mean, singing wise,

00:46:16.760 --> 00:46:18.519
he even sounded like Stevie Ray Vaughan, I thought.

00:46:18.880 --> 00:46:21.159
Nice. They've got some other concerts. We're

00:46:21.159 --> 00:46:25.039
in the garbs, the hat, the traditional stuff.

00:46:25.619 --> 00:46:28.019
If you like that stuff, it was very fun to see.

00:46:28.099 --> 00:46:31.139
I enjoyed it. I love music. We really enjoy going

00:46:31.139 --> 00:46:33.719
out to these venues, especially such a small

00:46:33.719 --> 00:46:37.099
one. And I don't want to say we smuggled anything

00:46:37.099 --> 00:46:39.840
because that'd be rude to smuggle. whiskey bottles

00:46:39.840 --> 00:46:46.199
into a venue. 17 mini bottles. That wasn't 17.

00:46:46.880 --> 00:46:50.840
It's rude. It was close. It was 16, I think.

00:46:51.380 --> 00:46:56.280
No, it was 12 plus 5 plus 1. It was 17. 18 of

00:46:56.280 --> 00:47:00.340
them. Wow. Anyway, so it was quite the night.

00:47:00.679 --> 00:47:03.739
They didn't have much of a... It was elegant.

00:47:03.920 --> 00:47:08.889
They have a catering style food and beverage

00:47:08.889 --> 00:47:12.750
company that goes in there and hosts these events.

00:47:12.989 --> 00:47:15.909
Oh, okay. So they have a little bar set up. If

00:47:15.909 --> 00:47:17.469
you want to order food, they've got like a four

00:47:17.469 --> 00:47:21.269
or five piece menu, which included dessert. But

00:47:21.269 --> 00:47:22.929
they've got, you know, there's a lot of elegant

00:47:22.929 --> 00:47:25.469
weddings there. It was fun. I recommend you go

00:47:25.469 --> 00:47:29.210
check out the Guitar Sanctuary at the Adriatica

00:47:29.210 --> 00:47:32.190
in McKinney, Texas. All right. Very cool. And

00:47:32.190 --> 00:47:34.349
also shout out to the Maylee Thomas Band and

00:47:34.349 --> 00:47:36.690
the Texas Flood Tribute Band. Yeah, I'm sorry

00:47:36.690 --> 00:47:38.840
I missed it. When you guys were flooding me with

00:47:38.840 --> 00:47:41.199
these, you know, make you jealous pictures, I

00:47:41.199 --> 00:47:44.480
got to admit, I was a little bit jealous, especially

00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:46.039
when you said Sash Jordan's here. And I was like,

00:47:46.099 --> 00:47:48.039
I turned to Shelly. I turned to Shelly. I was

00:47:48.039 --> 00:47:50.260
like, there's no way Sash Jordan. And then I

00:47:50.260 --> 00:47:52.320
looked at the picture and I'm like, how could

00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:54.920
it might be? It might be Sash Jordan. And then

00:47:54.920 --> 00:47:56.619
I started to get pissed. I was like, how am I

00:47:56.619 --> 00:48:00.230
missing Sash Jordan? But then I'm thinking to

00:48:00.230 --> 00:48:02.989
myself, we're talking about Jeff here. There's

00:48:02.989 --> 00:48:05.610
no fucking way. There's no fucking way it's Sass

00:48:05.610 --> 00:48:09.789
Jordan. And I was right. So anyway, sorry. Sass

00:48:09.789 --> 00:48:11.630
Jordan's a great artist, too. Now, do you remember

00:48:11.630 --> 00:48:15.469
when the concert was done, you kind of bust through

00:48:15.469 --> 00:48:18.889
the line and invited him to the podcast? You

00:48:18.889 --> 00:48:24.250
said it didn't go very well? What? Oh, who? You

00:48:24.250 --> 00:48:27.409
asked who? The band members? When I say busted

00:48:27.409 --> 00:48:29.250
through the line, I'm being a little cavalier

00:48:29.250 --> 00:48:31.329
when I said that. So look, at the end of the

00:48:31.329 --> 00:48:34.269
concert, at the end of the event, there's a lot

00:48:34.269 --> 00:48:36.889
of people crowding around wanting to chat with

00:48:36.889 --> 00:48:39.409
them. And it was just like this one person, this

00:48:39.409 --> 00:48:41.849
girl. Oh, how you doing? Hold on. Are you talking

00:48:41.849 --> 00:48:44.929
about the lead singer of the band? Yes. So I

00:48:44.929 --> 00:48:47.329
was just like, hey, here's our card. We'd love

00:48:47.329 --> 00:48:48.929
to have you on the podcast. I kind of interrupted

00:48:48.929 --> 00:48:52.159
a couple people. Oh, boy. It didn't go bad. It

00:48:52.159 --> 00:48:55.059
was just a matter of fact. You have to be assertive

00:48:55.059 --> 00:48:57.980
when you do something sometimes. I mean, I didn't

00:48:57.980 --> 00:49:00.519
know how it was perceived because, frankly, I

00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:02.719
was a little toasty. I wonder if he understood

00:49:02.719 --> 00:49:07.559
you. I had a perfect conversation in my head.

00:49:08.559 --> 00:49:14.179
What did he say? He said, oh, great, thanks.

00:49:14.260 --> 00:49:16.320
I'll take a look at this. Did he really? Yeah.

00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:19.719
Or did he say? That was his impression of what

00:49:19.719 --> 00:49:21.760
he said. Get the fuck out of here, dude. No.

00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:25.920
I mean, I think the people that I kind of stepped

00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:28.539
over to get into there to do it, you know. Stepped

00:49:28.539 --> 00:49:32.699
over. Knocked to the ground. Again, sometimes

00:49:32.699 --> 00:49:34.780
you got to be assertive. I wasn't rude. I was

00:49:34.780 --> 00:49:38.139
just aggressive. When you came back, I was assertive.

00:49:38.179 --> 00:49:40.260
Well, I was at the back. You came out here, he

00:49:40.260 --> 00:49:43.800
goes. Yeah, that didn't go exactly great. That's

00:49:43.800 --> 00:49:46.739
what she said. Yeah, well, you know, again, you

00:49:46.739 --> 00:49:50.039
know, whatever. No, he's good. It is what it

00:49:50.039 --> 00:49:52.079
is. Well, they're going to, did you say they're

00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:57.320
going to be? At Prairie House this weekend. No,

00:49:57.440 --> 00:50:00.599
this weekend, but they're at the Hub 21. Hub

00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:04.449
1, December 6th. September 6th. Oh, is it December

00:50:04.449 --> 00:50:07.550
6th or was that September? September 6th. We

00:50:07.550 --> 00:50:09.530
may want to try to do it. I would want to do

00:50:09.530 --> 00:50:10.929
that. That'd be fun. We may want to try to do

00:50:10.929 --> 00:50:13.250
it. Larry, you want to join us? What do you say,

00:50:13.309 --> 00:50:18.349
Larry? I'm sorry, but I'm going to be in Europe.

00:50:19.070 --> 00:50:24.269
Oh. Excuse me, senor. Are you following your

00:50:24.269 --> 00:50:26.869
favorite band that travels? As a matter of fact,

00:50:26.889 --> 00:50:30.159
we are. Oh, no way. Yeah. Yeah, I remember you

00:50:30.159 --> 00:50:33.079
talking about this band. Yeah, yeah. We already

00:50:33.079 --> 00:50:37.079
on the books had a schedule trip to go to Italy,

00:50:37.260 --> 00:50:40.579
Florence, and to Rome. And this band is playing

00:50:40.579 --> 00:50:44.059
in Italy. No, they're not. I happened to be looking

00:50:44.059 --> 00:50:46.139
at their website, and I saw that they had a European

00:50:46.139 --> 00:50:48.579
tour coming up. They're going to all over the

00:50:48.579 --> 00:50:53.860
place. London again, and Ireland, Spain, and

00:50:53.860 --> 00:50:58.880
there was one in Paris. Okay. So I said to the

00:50:58.880 --> 00:51:00.900
wife, I said, you know, their Paris date, it

00:51:00.900 --> 00:51:03.460
kind of corresponds with when we're going to

00:51:03.460 --> 00:51:07.260
Italy. So I think we need to make a leg and add

00:51:07.260 --> 00:51:11.059
Paris to the itinerary. Just for that. And make

00:51:11.059 --> 00:51:14.119
the concert. She goes, I'm in. Let's do it. Wow.

00:51:14.880 --> 00:51:17.760
So we're going to fly to Paris, go to the concert,

00:51:17.860 --> 00:51:22.260
do Paris touristy things. Go to the Louvre. We

00:51:22.260 --> 00:51:25.559
are going to go to the Louvre. See the Mona Lisa.

00:51:25.820 --> 00:51:28.300
Go to the Eiffel Tower. Did you know that the

00:51:28.300 --> 00:51:33.099
Eiffel Tower is the singular most popular selfie

00:51:33.099 --> 00:51:37.019
photo object in the world? Oh, God. How nauseating.

00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:39.119
That's a new thing because selfie didn't exist

00:51:39.119 --> 00:51:43.099
15 years ago. True. Are you sure? So then we're

00:51:43.099 --> 00:51:46.159
going to hop a short one -hour flight to Florence,

00:51:46.219 --> 00:51:49.159
do Florence things, and see the statue of David

00:51:49.159 --> 00:51:52.239
that you were looking at. Oh, yeah. Nice. Look

00:51:52.239 --> 00:51:54.750
at you. Look at this penis. And then take a train

00:51:54.750 --> 00:51:56.969
down to Rome and do Roman things. Who's the band,

00:51:57.030 --> 00:52:00.670
again, that you follow? This is a band out of

00:52:00.670 --> 00:52:05.530
Mobile, Alabama. It's called the Red Clay Strays.

00:52:06.010 --> 00:52:08.289
That's right, the Red Clay Strays. Do they not

00:52:08.289 --> 00:52:10.869
play in Texas? Oh, yeah, sure. Well, I mean,

00:52:10.909 --> 00:52:12.610
are you going to let us know when they're here

00:52:12.610 --> 00:52:15.369
so we can all go and see them together? They're

00:52:15.369 --> 00:52:20.909
coming to, I want to say it's in October, September.

00:52:21.050 --> 00:52:25.380
I can't remember. They're going to be in Irving

00:52:25.380 --> 00:52:28.579
at that Toyota, what is that thing called? Oh,

00:52:28.579 --> 00:52:33.769
wow. The Toyota thing. Hub 21. The arena. Yeah,

00:52:33.769 --> 00:52:36.010
no. I mean, that's a big deal. Toyota Music Factory.

00:52:36.010 --> 00:52:38.309
They're big time now, man. Yeah. Oh, yeah. They

00:52:38.309 --> 00:52:40.469
weren't grabbing it. Their honky -tonk days are

00:52:40.469 --> 00:52:43.510
over. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Oh, I didn't know they

00:52:43.510 --> 00:52:46.809
had. So since you've been on the podcast, they

00:52:46.809 --> 00:52:48.969
have grown. Yeah, on September 23rd. In the last

00:52:48.969 --> 00:52:50.570
several years. They'll be at the Pavilion of

00:52:50.570 --> 00:52:52.309
the Toyota Music Factory. Yeah, Toyota Music

00:52:52.309 --> 00:52:55.030
Factory. Wow. They played at the Country Music

00:52:55.030 --> 00:53:00.119
CMA things. CMV thing. I had no idea. That was

00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:02.380
in Frisco, wasn't it? Yeah, it was. Down at the

00:53:02.380 --> 00:53:06.219
Star. Yeah. Wow, seats are quite pricey. Yeah.

00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:09.940
What? Dude, seriously. So they're doing very

00:53:09.940 --> 00:53:15.340
well. Lawn seats are $111. A seat in Rove D is

00:53:15.340 --> 00:53:19.480
$254. So you saw them when they were nothing.

00:53:20.619 --> 00:53:26.949
Amy and I would go to venues like... and honky

00:53:26.949 --> 00:53:29.070
-tonks. I mean, you just got in free, right?

00:53:29.190 --> 00:53:30.869
Of course. Because they wanted you to buy drinks

00:53:30.869 --> 00:53:33.630
and the food and stuff. Of course. Then tickets

00:53:33.630 --> 00:53:39.670
went up to maybe $7 to $10. $15 was high. And

00:53:39.670 --> 00:53:42.409
now look at them. And now they're $200 a seat.

00:53:42.969 --> 00:53:45.590
Oh, no, no, they're not. For a shitty seat. Well,

00:53:45.650 --> 00:53:48.610
I mean, in the Irving one, that is not a seat.

00:53:49.110 --> 00:53:52.639
You're not going to get anything for $200. You

00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:56.679
can get a lawn seat for $111. The less expensive

00:53:56.679 --> 00:54:01.900
seat after that is $254. Yeah. Damn. Paul, they

00:54:01.900 --> 00:54:05.920
have a huge following now, a huge fan base. How

00:54:05.920 --> 00:54:08.719
cool is that? But I got to hand it to them. I

00:54:08.719 --> 00:54:10.579
mean, they worked their ass off, right? I mean,

00:54:10.599 --> 00:54:13.190
they toured and toured and toured for... Almost

00:54:13.190 --> 00:54:16.530
10 years. Damn. To get this far. That's hard.

00:54:16.650 --> 00:54:18.090
Is that what we need to do with the podcast?

00:54:18.329 --> 00:54:20.670
Is that we need to just keep working on it for

00:54:20.670 --> 00:54:22.429
10 years? So we got five more years before we

00:54:22.429 --> 00:54:25.150
can do it. That's great. They picked up every

00:54:25.150 --> 00:54:29.289
bar and honky -tonk and beer joint gig that they

00:54:29.289 --> 00:54:30.750
can get their hands on. So how'd they get their

00:54:30.750 --> 00:54:34.300
break? Usually somebody has to be there in a

00:54:34.300 --> 00:54:36.280
small honky -tonk and say, damn, you guys are

00:54:36.280 --> 00:54:39.940
good. I want to be your agent. Oh, are you their

00:54:39.940 --> 00:54:42.039
agent? I don't know when it was. I want to say

00:54:42.039 --> 00:54:46.099
a year or two ago they signed with a record label.

00:54:46.280 --> 00:54:48.079
I was going to say, somebody had to see them

00:54:48.079 --> 00:54:51.139
and be like, okay, these guys are good. And they

00:54:51.139 --> 00:54:53.260
got a record label and boom, they're on Amazon.

00:54:53.820 --> 00:54:56.579
So now they've got backing, management. That's

00:54:56.579 --> 00:54:58.940
fantastic. And they know exactly who you are.

00:54:58.960 --> 00:55:00.739
You've been there from the beginning with those

00:55:00.739 --> 00:55:04.760
guys. They know you. Yeah. I mean, are you on

00:55:04.760 --> 00:55:07.079
their list? I mean, do they know? They don't

00:55:07.079 --> 00:55:09.019
know -know you, of course, but I mean, I don't

00:55:09.019 --> 00:55:10.699
know. Actually, they may. They do know -know

00:55:10.699 --> 00:55:12.900
you. I mean, do you see them? They're like, we

00:55:12.900 --> 00:55:15.300
recognize that Larry over there. No, they don't

00:55:15.300 --> 00:55:17.300
say that, right? Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah. They go,

00:55:17.360 --> 00:55:19.219
hey, Larry and Amy, how's it going? Yeah, they

00:55:19.219 --> 00:55:21.320
know him. They know them personally. All that.

00:55:22.159 --> 00:55:23.739
It's cool. Yeah, you don't remember the last

00:55:23.739 --> 00:55:25.739
podcast. He was talking about how they, you know,

00:55:25.739 --> 00:55:28.239
basically like kind of groupies wherever they

00:55:28.239 --> 00:55:30.539
played, you followed because it was an excuse

00:55:30.539 --> 00:55:32.739
to go visit somewhere you had never been before.

00:55:32.940 --> 00:55:34.760
That's exactly what it was. Are you going to

00:55:34.760 --> 00:55:37.039
go to the Irving one? Oh, yeah. Yeah. But you've

00:55:37.039 --> 00:55:40.489
been to Irving. Why would you go there? I'm kidding.

00:55:40.590 --> 00:55:44.010
What? I said it was an excuse. Oh, I get it.

00:55:44.130 --> 00:55:47.769
Okay, yeah. So when you figure out what you're

00:55:47.769 --> 00:55:49.329
going to do with the tickets, let me know. I

00:55:49.329 --> 00:55:51.610
may be interested in taking a backseat somewhere.

00:55:51.730 --> 00:55:54.869
I don't know if they have boxes or how that stuff

00:55:54.869 --> 00:56:00.309
works. We're also going to Red Rocks in Denver.

00:56:00.449 --> 00:56:03.309
Oh, very nice. I've never been there. See them

00:56:03.309 --> 00:56:06.989
there and then, of course, at the Paris show.

00:56:07.799 --> 00:56:10.340
Super cool. I think the Paris show is going to

00:56:10.340 --> 00:56:14.980
be number, I think, 28. 28 shows we've seen.

00:56:15.340 --> 00:56:17.980
That's crazy. I knew you had a band that was

00:56:17.980 --> 00:56:20.320
like, yeah, that was your thing. And, I mean,

00:56:20.400 --> 00:56:25.139
guys, it sounds silly. No, it's crazy. It's a

00:56:25.139 --> 00:56:28.380
great thing for you to do. It has been so much

00:56:28.380 --> 00:56:30.780
fun. I got to tell you, following these guys,

00:56:30.980 --> 00:56:35.849
they are so nice and so down to earth. Just gentlemen.

00:56:36.030 --> 00:56:37.929
I mean, they're yes or no, sir, kind of guys.

00:56:38.510 --> 00:56:42.449
And Amy and I have had a ball following them

00:56:42.449 --> 00:56:44.590
around. We've met other people that follow them

00:56:44.590 --> 00:56:47.309
around and have kind of become friends with them.

00:56:47.989 --> 00:56:50.010
It's been a lot of fun. Do you meet them when

00:56:50.010 --> 00:56:52.250
you're going to Paris to see them? Are you going

00:56:52.250 --> 00:56:54.789
to see some of those people? Are you in communication

00:56:54.789 --> 00:56:56.289
with them? Like, hey, look, we're going to be

00:56:56.289 --> 00:56:57.849
at this Paris one. Do you want to meet here for

00:56:57.849 --> 00:57:00.809
dinner beforehand? Well, the Paris one is a little

00:57:00.809 --> 00:57:04.250
extreme, but Irving and Red Rocks, yeah, we've

00:57:04.250 --> 00:57:06.550
made contact with some of our cronies. Oh, that

00:57:06.550 --> 00:57:08.530
is cool. Yeah, we're going to hook up. You should

00:57:08.530 --> 00:57:10.530
let the band know, hey, look, you got any direct

00:57:10.530 --> 00:57:12.750
communication with them? Dude, they don't care.

00:57:13.909 --> 00:57:15.949
Well, I mean, some do, some don't. Who knows?

00:57:16.010 --> 00:57:18.670
They don't care. That'd be cool, though. They

00:57:18.670 --> 00:57:21.869
do care about their fans. You know what we haven't

00:57:21.869 --> 00:57:25.099
done? Talk about the next bourbon. It's not a

00:57:25.099 --> 00:57:32.239
bourbon, is it? It's a whiskey. It is a 100 %

00:57:32.239 --> 00:57:35.519
wheat whiskey. You guys are so crazy. I know.

00:57:35.840 --> 00:57:37.639
It's not a bourbon. It's not. I know. We're so

00:57:37.639 --> 00:57:43.780
anal. Stop it. We're so anal. This is our second

00:57:43.780 --> 00:57:47.639
tap on this. This is the Lone Elm. It's a single

00:57:47.639 --> 00:57:51.019
barrel straight wheat whiskey from Forney, Texas.

00:57:51.320 --> 00:57:53.579
Yes. Would not expect this from Forney, Texas.

00:57:54.199 --> 00:57:57.579
But it exists. Forney, Texas is a little bit

00:57:57.579 --> 00:58:00.420
east of Dallas, Texas. Yeah, east of Mesquite.

00:58:00.900 --> 00:58:04.500
It's 121 proof. Yeah, 121 proof. It's got a big

00:58:04.500 --> 00:58:10.079
old ding -dong on it, and I like it. I liked

00:58:10.079 --> 00:58:12.159
it the first time. I like it the second time

00:58:12.159 --> 00:58:16.119
even more. It took a while for it to open up

00:58:16.119 --> 00:58:18.400
on the second time. I don't know what happened

00:58:18.400 --> 00:58:21.360
the first. I'm with Larry. At first, I was kind

00:58:21.360 --> 00:58:24.690
of like, yeah, this is. It's got a set of nuts.

00:58:25.130 --> 00:58:29.230
It's dark. It has a meaty taste to it. It's very

00:58:29.230 --> 00:58:32.570
rich. Very rich. Yeah. It doesn't say what the

00:58:32.570 --> 00:58:35.829
age statement is, I don't think. It has an extreme

00:58:35.829 --> 00:58:42.230
dark cherry licorice burn. And I like all that.

00:58:43.289 --> 00:58:49.210
Stone fruit just kind of has that thick. I don't

00:58:49.210 --> 00:58:50.869
know how to explain it. It's viscous, yeah. Currant.

00:58:50.889 --> 00:58:55.449
It's oily, and it sticks. Yeah, the cherries,

00:58:55.449 --> 00:58:58.909
the really dark fruits. Milk, chocolate, it's

00:58:58.909 --> 00:59:02.670
buttery. This has, to me, it's got all that stuff

00:59:02.670 --> 00:59:05.750
I enjoy. Yeah, it does not have an age statement.

00:59:05.750 --> 00:59:07.550
I'm really surprised. I'm really curious how

00:59:07.550 --> 00:59:08.909
long it's been aged. It says age four years.

00:59:09.559 --> 00:59:11.659
I don't know what bottle you're drinking from,

00:59:11.820 --> 00:59:15.440
but I got a totally different opinion. Looking

00:59:15.440 --> 00:59:19.659
at the whiskey through the clear glass bottle,

00:59:19.880 --> 00:59:22.699
Jeff, you're right. It's very dark. I mean, it's

00:59:22.699 --> 00:59:27.719
either like a strong tea or a weak coffee. It's

00:59:27.719 --> 00:59:32.320
that dark. It's very dark. This is way too strong

00:59:32.320 --> 00:59:35.179
for me. You guys are more seasoned than I am.

00:59:35.320 --> 00:59:37.059
That's what I'm saying. With all your vermin

00:59:37.059 --> 00:59:39.849
drinking, we've damaged our palates. Yeah. But,

00:59:39.849 --> 00:59:45.869
boy, this is a beating for me. It's rich. I had

00:59:45.869 --> 00:59:48.230
to water mine down. Yeah, that's why sometimes

00:59:48.230 --> 00:59:51.150
we find it hard when people go, what's a good

00:59:51.150 --> 00:59:53.849
bourbon out there? Well, we talk about this.

00:59:53.929 --> 00:59:55.969
We're like, but they'd have the reaction you

00:59:55.969 --> 00:59:59.050
did. It'd be way too much for them, so we can't

00:59:59.050 --> 01:00:01.289
recommend these type of things. No. So you have

01:00:01.289 --> 01:00:04.510
to find good ones like the one we had up here,

01:00:04.610 --> 01:00:06.090
right? But we don't drink that stuff anymore.

01:00:06.150 --> 01:00:09.429
So it's like. What do we recommend? If somebody

01:00:09.429 --> 01:00:12.829
is dipping their toe into the higher proof, richer

01:00:12.829 --> 01:00:17.050
flavors, we usually stick around the 100. Yes.

01:00:17.070 --> 01:00:20.289
Right? Yeah. And we say, try that, you know?

01:00:20.309 --> 01:00:22.949
Drink that, and then, yeah. Most people, when

01:00:22.949 --> 01:00:25.110
they drink this, have the reaction you do. It's

01:00:25.110 --> 01:00:27.150
like, this is just, it's too much. Yeah. But

01:00:27.150 --> 01:00:29.469
I will go with you, Sean. With my watered down

01:00:29.469 --> 01:00:33.469
version, I do taste a lot of cherry. Strong in

01:00:33.469 --> 01:00:36.190
the cherry. There's some vanilla going on in

01:00:36.190 --> 01:00:40.500
there. My watered -down version, it has a very

01:00:40.500 --> 01:00:42.739
good flavor to it, but straight out of the bottle,

01:00:42.860 --> 01:00:46.760
I'm sorry. That's an acquired thing. We worked

01:00:46.760 --> 01:00:50.219
up to this. We didn't start out drinking this

01:00:50.219 --> 01:00:53.619
stuff. We started out drinking the 80, the 90.

01:00:54.920 --> 01:00:58.420
It's got a root beer kind of finish on there.

01:00:58.980 --> 01:01:02.619
You ever had those root beer lozenges that you

01:01:02.619 --> 01:01:08.730
had? Man, it's got 100 % wheat by itself, like

01:01:08.730 --> 01:01:11.409
the Frey 100 % wheat they have. This is completely

01:01:11.409 --> 01:01:14.170
different to that. But it has some similarities.

01:01:14.530 --> 01:01:18.550
And that lozenger root beer is part of that.

01:01:18.670 --> 01:01:20.949
Theirs is a little bit more buttery, but it still

01:01:20.949 --> 01:01:23.969
has that wheat taste. I'm a fan of 100 % wheat.

01:01:24.070 --> 01:01:27.489
The Oregon wheat? We may want to revisit that

01:01:27.489 --> 01:01:29.030
because we didn't like it when we first got it.

01:01:29.110 --> 01:01:31.469
We didn't because it was like grassy. Yeah. And

01:01:31.469 --> 01:01:33.429
plus, I don't think the proof was up there. Not

01:01:33.429 --> 01:01:38.420
that that's... There's a bottle of whiskey out

01:01:38.420 --> 01:01:42.619
there made with Oregon spirits, right? And they

01:01:42.619 --> 01:01:45.360
have 100%. We bought it because we're like, fuck

01:01:45.360 --> 01:01:47.059
it. We're going to try to figure out if we like

01:01:47.059 --> 01:01:49.880
this stuff or not. Smoothness -wise, I kind of

01:01:49.880 --> 01:01:53.059
give it a high score. I know that the burn that

01:01:53.059 --> 01:01:56.559
I feel in my throat, that's the alcohol, right?

01:01:56.679 --> 01:01:59.820
This has a very high alcohol content, but take

01:01:59.820 --> 01:02:04.469
that burn out. It is... It is kind of a smooth

01:02:04.469 --> 01:02:10.190
liquor. It's a smooth whiskey. But, boy, it is

01:02:10.190 --> 01:02:13.610
way more better watered down. That's all right.

01:02:14.210 --> 01:02:16.389
Will you show me how much you got? Am I supposed

01:02:16.389 --> 01:02:18.730
to? Well, you still have some. You have some.

01:02:18.849 --> 01:02:20.750
Why are you adding to it? I had nothing, and

01:02:20.750 --> 01:02:23.650
I added a little bit to contribute. Chuck, he's

01:02:23.650 --> 01:02:25.150
like a kid over there. He's like, do I get some?

01:02:25.150 --> 01:02:27.820
I want some. I don't have any in my glass. This

01:02:27.820 --> 01:02:30.400
would probably be really good over ice so you

01:02:30.400 --> 01:02:32.820
can allow the ice to melt. Absolutely. Add some

01:02:32.820 --> 01:02:37.840
water to it. Absolutely. I like it. I give this

01:02:37.840 --> 01:02:41.039
a very high score. To me, this meets the criteria

01:02:41.039 --> 01:02:44.559
of a perfect Friday night drink for me. After

01:02:44.559 --> 01:02:46.800
everything is said and done, I would love to

01:02:46.800 --> 01:02:49.760
sit down with this and have a little club soda

01:02:49.760 --> 01:02:53.530
back and just kind of like. Just enjoy a sip

01:02:53.530 --> 01:02:55.710
in it. This is not a drinking. You don't do not

01:02:55.710 --> 01:02:57.650
drink this. This is something that you take a

01:02:57.650 --> 01:03:00.570
sip. In fact, you ship. In fact, you may have

01:03:00.570 --> 01:03:03.730
a beer and then take a little tiny pull off of

01:03:03.730 --> 01:03:06.809
this. You know? Yeah. You sip on this for a while.

01:03:07.030 --> 01:03:09.230
This is. Yeah. This is a long. This one should.

01:03:09.550 --> 01:03:11.929
You should. It should take you over an hour to

01:03:11.929 --> 01:03:13.789
drink this. This is one you'd want to have with

01:03:13.789 --> 01:03:16.809
a cigar. Kind of. Yeah. That'll work. Tap the

01:03:16.809 --> 01:03:19.510
brakes on things. Yeah. That'll work. I like

01:03:19.510 --> 01:03:23.820
it. I give this a high score. Mr. Chuck, I would

01:03:23.820 --> 01:03:26.679
give, I don't know what I gave last time, but

01:03:26.679 --> 01:03:32.719
I'm going to give this an eight. Did we put any

01:03:32.719 --> 01:03:35.539
numbers on the bank street? I don't think we

01:03:35.539 --> 01:03:37.500
did. I don't think we did. I don't think we did.

01:03:37.639 --> 01:03:40.219
We'll have to go back and do that. What do you

01:03:40.219 --> 01:03:42.460
think, Mr. Palito? What are you at with this

01:03:42.460 --> 01:03:46.039
one? I'm going with 7 .4. Which is high for me.

01:03:46.219 --> 01:03:49.039
Yeah, I think I'm going to be about a 7 .3 on

01:03:49.039 --> 01:03:52.519
this one. I'm sorry, fellas. It's just too rough

01:03:52.519 --> 01:03:54.679
on you. You're going with a .8? I'm going to

01:03:54.679 --> 01:03:57.360
have to ratchet down to a 6. No, that's fine.

01:03:57.739 --> 01:03:59.159
There's nothing wrong with that. When we talk,

01:03:59.280 --> 01:04:01.139
we're like, everyone's palate's different. You

01:04:01.139 --> 01:04:02.659
like what you like. And if you don't like this,

01:04:02.760 --> 01:04:05.260
then you don't like it. But we also have categories.

01:04:06.300 --> 01:04:09.539
Your scores went up a point from last time. Each?

01:04:09.840 --> 01:04:11.639
Just about. I think the palates have changed.

01:04:11.659 --> 01:04:15.440
Wow. But I think they changed just... I mean,

01:04:15.460 --> 01:04:17.320
the fact that we're all in the same category.

01:04:17.539 --> 01:04:20.239
So you're saying I was a 6 .4 last time, huh?

01:04:20.460 --> 01:04:22.800
You were a 6 .8. Okay, I was a little closer.

01:04:23.099 --> 01:04:26.219
Jeff was a 6 .5. On this same bottle? And where

01:04:26.219 --> 01:04:29.000
was I? Same bottle. 6 .9. I was a 6 .9? Yep,

01:04:29.059 --> 01:04:33.139
now you're an 8. Well, hey, look, I'm enjoying

01:04:33.139 --> 01:04:35.079
this. I'm really liking this. You're the most

01:04:35.079 --> 01:04:39.760
inconsistent taster. It's all right. Look, I'm

01:04:39.760 --> 01:04:41.960
really enjoying this. I think this is great.

01:04:42.480 --> 01:04:45.099
And not to kick a 6 .9 out of bed or anything

01:04:45.099 --> 01:04:46.760
like that. No, there won't be a 6 .9 at all.

01:04:46.860 --> 01:04:49.940
Yeah. But you're like, eight. Give me that eight.

01:04:50.119 --> 01:04:53.780
Yeah. But it takes an acquired taste. And so

01:04:53.780 --> 01:04:54.960
this is not something that you're going to -

01:04:54.960 --> 01:04:57.460
You've killed off those sensitive taste buds,

01:04:57.659 --> 01:05:00.119
and now you can really enjoy it. You know, there's

01:05:00.119 --> 01:05:02.219
something to be said about having a whiskey on

01:05:02.219 --> 01:05:04.260
the first half and one on the second half. I'm

01:05:04.260 --> 01:05:07.079
curious if we were to have this on the first

01:05:07.079 --> 01:05:09.179
half - I wondered the same thing. If we'd like

01:05:09.179 --> 01:05:12.659
it as much. Yeah. We may not. It may take the

01:05:12.659 --> 01:05:14.880
fact that you've got to be a little spirited

01:05:14.880 --> 01:05:17.360
to jump into this. You've got to test the pool.

01:05:17.400 --> 01:05:19.820
I also think there's something behind you have

01:05:19.820 --> 01:05:22.340
to warm your palate up to handle something like

01:05:22.340 --> 01:05:26.079
that. A higher proof, super rich whiskey. This

01:05:26.079 --> 01:05:30.119
has a set of nuts. For being under 130, this

01:05:30.119 --> 01:05:34.800
tastes 130. There's some, I don't want to say

01:05:34.800 --> 01:05:37.019
burn, but it's rich. It's very rich. What was

01:05:37.019 --> 01:05:40.010
the price point on this one? Under $70. $70.

01:05:42.469 --> 01:05:46.170
Saddle leather. Hints of tobacco. Lone Elm single

01:05:46.170 --> 01:05:48.449
barrel Texas straight whiskey offers a rich and

01:05:48.449 --> 01:05:50.929
complex tasting experience. So are we able to

01:05:50.929 --> 01:05:54.769
visit Lone Star? Why not? In Forty, Texas? We

01:05:54.769 --> 01:05:57.809
should be able to. Do they do any kind of tours?

01:05:59.530 --> 01:06:02.269
And yes, local, man. We got to respect local.

01:06:02.670 --> 01:06:04.690
Support local. I like that idea. It's called

01:06:04.690 --> 01:06:07.630
Five Points Distillery. Five Points Distillery.

01:06:08.110 --> 01:06:09.550
Yeah, five points to start. Let's see if we can't

01:06:09.550 --> 01:06:11.650
line up some tours for this. That would be cool.

01:06:11.889 --> 01:06:16.869
There it is. All right. Visit us. Visit. Saturdays

01:06:16.869 --> 01:06:19.449
from 12 to 4 .30. Tours take place every 30 minutes.

01:06:19.510 --> 01:06:21.329
And Saturdays beginning at noon. If your party

01:06:21.329 --> 01:06:23.869
is larger than 12, please contact us at Private

01:06:23.869 --> 01:06:26.050
Tour. If you're a member of the Texas Whiskey

01:06:26.050 --> 01:06:28.269
Trail, check in on our tasting room to receive

01:06:28.269 --> 01:06:30.889
travel points or trail points. If you're not

01:06:30.889 --> 01:06:33.090
a member, fuck off. No, you've got to sign up

01:06:33.090 --> 01:06:35.389
for it. They have a pot still there, by the way.

01:06:35.550 --> 01:06:38.909
Looks like it. Copper. That's a pot still, yeah.

01:06:38.949 --> 01:06:42.710
That's a nice big one. Zoom out on that. Where

01:06:42.710 --> 01:06:44.409
exactly is that? I know you said it was east

01:06:44.409 --> 01:06:48.769
of Mesquite. East of Mesquite. East of Mesquite.

01:06:48.949 --> 01:06:52.269
Oh, dude, that's totally in range. Oh, yeah.

01:06:52.429 --> 01:06:54.670
We got to do that. We got to do it. Yeah, it's

01:06:54.670 --> 01:06:57.630
not very far. It was Saturdays, you said? Just

01:06:57.630 --> 01:07:00.650
Saturdays only? Saturdays, 45 minutes to get

01:07:00.650 --> 01:07:04.559
down there is my guess. And we can go stop at

01:07:04.559 --> 01:07:08.019
Gun Barrel City and eat at my favorite marina

01:07:08.019 --> 01:07:11.440
afterwards. I've been there. Yes, I took you

01:07:11.440 --> 01:07:13.780
along. That was a great time, wasn't it? Didn't

01:07:13.780 --> 01:07:16.599
we take a selfie? We've been there twice, I think.

01:07:17.079 --> 01:07:19.260
Yeah, you didn't invite me and then sent pictures

01:07:19.260 --> 01:07:22.280
when you were there. Yep, I remember. Look at

01:07:22.280 --> 01:07:25.480
all those marks on there. Chuck marks, yes, thank

01:07:25.480 --> 01:07:30.360
you. That's not 40. Well, yeah, South 40. Oh,

01:07:30.360 --> 01:07:32.300
I guess it is, yeah. Interesting. Oh, so it's

01:07:32.300 --> 01:07:38.099
down south of 20. Yeah. Yeah, 40's out 80, isn't

01:07:38.099 --> 01:07:40.719
it? Straight? Yeah, but that's, I mean, three

01:07:40.719 --> 01:07:43.920
miles between the two. Yeah, that's true. That's

01:07:43.920 --> 01:07:48.300
pretty fun. I say we try it sometime. Agreed.

01:07:48.519 --> 01:07:50.400
Sooner than later. No brainer. Stop dicking around.

01:07:50.840 --> 01:07:52.179
We don't want to have to wait until we're as

01:07:52.179 --> 01:07:57.579
old as Larry. Yeah, no kidding. Wait till we're

01:07:57.579 --> 01:08:01.900
retarded. Retarded? Retired. That's right. Okay,

01:08:01.960 --> 01:08:06.880
I'm drunk. Get off my lawn, punk. Well, you know

01:08:06.880 --> 01:08:10.500
what? We were talking about, did you guys hear

01:08:10.500 --> 01:08:14.440
about this Epstein deal thing? Well, it was just

01:08:14.440 --> 01:08:17.460
at the DOJ, and the FBI came out and said, yeah,

01:08:17.539 --> 01:08:20.560
there's no Epstein list, and sorry, guys. We're

01:08:20.560 --> 01:08:23.479
just going to, it's a nothing burger. And the

01:08:23.479 --> 01:08:27.020
base, the base MAGA. upset. Well, I mean, I'm

01:08:27.020 --> 01:08:32.119
trying to figure out why exactly is what's her

01:08:32.119 --> 01:08:35.239
name? Pam Bondi. No, no, no. The girl that's

01:08:35.239 --> 01:08:37.600
in jail right now. Maxwell. Jelaine Maxwell.

01:08:39.460 --> 01:08:43.560
Why is she in jail right now? I mean, they have

01:08:43.560 --> 01:08:46.460
charged her with traffic. She trafficked little

01:08:46.460 --> 01:08:52.649
girls. And she claimed that she had a list. I

01:08:52.649 --> 01:08:56.170
don't know. She had a black book, yes, of contacts.

01:08:56.270 --> 01:08:59.930
And where the fuck is that book? Well, it's probably

01:08:59.930 --> 01:09:03.010
under court sealed documents. That's the problem.

01:09:03.050 --> 01:09:04.909
It could have been destroyed at this point. Maybe

01:09:04.909 --> 01:09:07.489
that's where they're at. It's like they've destroyed

01:09:07.489 --> 01:09:09.350
the evidence. There's nothing here. Well, then

01:09:09.350 --> 01:09:11.590
why not say that? I don't know. I don't know.

01:09:11.689 --> 01:09:13.329
The problem is this administration rolled in

01:09:13.329 --> 01:09:15.130
with this new sheriff in town. We're not going

01:09:15.130 --> 01:09:16.689
to do this bullshit. We're not going to sweep

01:09:16.689 --> 01:09:18.390
things under the rug. We're going to be totally

01:09:18.390 --> 01:09:20.130
transparent. We're going to tell you about this.

01:09:20.850 --> 01:09:22.050
We're going to tell you this. We're going to

01:09:22.050 --> 01:09:23.829
tell you that. The fact that they destroyed the

01:09:23.829 --> 01:09:26.029
book, if they did, you know, but they're doing

01:09:26.029 --> 01:09:28.029
similar stuff. Like what is the guy, the crooks

01:09:28.029 --> 01:09:30.430
guy that took a shot, pop shot off that Trump?

01:09:30.649 --> 01:09:33.529
Right. I mean, they immediately. You mean eight

01:09:33.529 --> 01:09:36.510
of them. They immediately freaking cremated him.

01:09:36.590 --> 01:09:38.810
Yeah. Without being able to take. Well, no, that

01:09:38.810 --> 01:09:41.779
happened. Yeah, that happened before Trump's

01:09:41.779 --> 01:09:45.819
administration. Yeah. I think it's, but still.

01:09:46.140 --> 01:09:49.439
Right. The point is, is that even after Trump

01:09:49.439 --> 01:09:51.699
became the president, they're still trying to

01:09:51.699 --> 01:09:53.880
find information and they're not getting anywhere.

01:09:54.060 --> 01:09:56.659
It's just like when he got in office, look, and

01:09:56.659 --> 01:09:58.539
I'm not saying he's not doing great things. He

01:09:58.539 --> 01:10:00.439
is doing some great things, but I'm not happy

01:10:00.439 --> 01:10:02.819
with some of the stuff that's going on. I'm not

01:10:02.819 --> 01:10:06.199
happy with this. It just seemed like they just

01:10:06.199 --> 01:10:08.020
like, hey, we're looking into it and there's

01:10:08.020 --> 01:10:10.289
nothing there. Sorry, guys. And then everybody's

01:10:10.289 --> 01:10:13.810
like, seriously? You build everything up. If

01:10:13.810 --> 01:10:16.609
you get me president, I'm going to find out X,

01:10:16.630 --> 01:10:18.810
Y, and Z. I'm waiting for that. Well, and did

01:10:18.810 --> 01:10:22.710
you hear Bongino kind of went off? He was upset.

01:10:22.909 --> 01:10:26.550
Yeah. And he was in the cabinet meeting or wherever

01:10:26.550 --> 01:10:28.710
they were in this big meeting, and they said

01:10:28.710 --> 01:10:30.869
he stormed out because he was like, this is a

01:10:30.869 --> 01:10:33.850
load of shit. You guys are seriously going to

01:10:33.850 --> 01:10:37.270
say that there's no story here? No smoking gun

01:10:37.270 --> 01:10:39.659
here? Yeah. But apparently it's been smoothed

01:10:39.659 --> 01:10:41.899
over since then. Well, they probably were like,

01:10:42.020 --> 01:10:44.000
hey, they got Jimmy the Fish over there. Yeah,

01:10:44.000 --> 01:10:46.220
no shit. The Israeli convention that kind of

01:10:46.220 --> 01:10:47.819
brought them back in is, hey, you're going to

01:10:47.819 --> 01:10:49.399
shut the fuck up. You're going to like this.

01:10:49.479 --> 01:10:51.960
See, no one likes that. I mean, this is not supposed

01:10:51.960 --> 01:10:54.659
to be that administration. It's not, but it's

01:10:54.659 --> 01:10:58.840
not this administration. I'm starting to feel

01:10:58.840 --> 01:11:00.979
that it has nothing to do with left or right.

01:11:01.060 --> 01:11:04.300
I feel that there's this upper echelon of this

01:11:04.300 --> 01:11:07.579
ether that imposes their will on either left

01:11:07.579 --> 01:11:09.359
or right. It doesn't matter. I think they're

01:11:09.359 --> 01:11:12.760
obviously protecting someone. Someone. I think

01:11:12.760 --> 01:11:14.939
it's a bunch of people. It's a bunch of people.

01:11:14.960 --> 01:11:16.880
I don't think it's any one person. I think it's

01:11:16.880 --> 01:11:21.439
a slew of folks. We can't let this out. And I'll

01:11:21.439 --> 01:11:23.840
say it again. The problem is the people on that

01:11:23.840 --> 01:11:27.079
list, it makes it, it implicates them in going

01:11:27.079 --> 01:11:31.000
to the island and participating with, you know,

01:11:31.020 --> 01:11:33.680
nefarious things. But the reality is he brought

01:11:33.680 --> 01:11:36.140
people to his island to just entertain them.

01:11:36.279 --> 01:11:38.699
That's a good point. And when you show up on

01:11:38.699 --> 01:11:40.079
this list, people are going to think the worst.

01:11:40.119 --> 01:11:42.060
And they're like, dude, I was on the island because

01:11:42.060 --> 01:11:45.159
we were talking about. Sure you were. Right.

01:11:45.199 --> 01:11:48.439
Hang on. Exactly. Sure you were. Alan Dershowitz

01:11:48.439 --> 01:11:51.319
had to. defend himself in court because one of

01:11:51.319 --> 01:11:55.319
the victims named him. And he's like, I've never

01:11:55.319 --> 01:11:57.420
seen this woman in my life. And he had to do

01:11:57.420 --> 01:11:59.380
it in court. And he wants everybody else to kind

01:11:59.380 --> 01:12:02.920
of have that same opportunity to defend themselves.

01:12:03.039 --> 01:12:05.279
Yeah, but it drives him through the mud. He was

01:12:05.279 --> 01:12:09.000
fighting tooth and nail to clear his name. I

01:12:09.000 --> 01:12:11.539
mean, that's the problem. I mean, just because

01:12:11.539 --> 01:12:13.720
you knew who Jeffrey Epstein was doesn't mean

01:12:13.720 --> 01:12:18.729
you were a slimeball. And it looks so... damning

01:12:18.729 --> 01:12:21.069
if you're on that list. I think that's why they're

01:12:21.069 --> 01:12:23.050
like, you know what? Let's just make the whole

01:12:23.050 --> 01:12:26.010
thing go. So is Trump on that list? He knew him.

01:12:26.029 --> 01:12:27.970
I mean, he knew him for 15 years. But is Trump

01:12:27.970 --> 01:12:29.390
on the list? Because there are people out there

01:12:29.390 --> 01:12:31.310
that claim that Trump is on the manifest. He's

01:12:31.310 --> 01:12:32.609
on the list. He's on the list because he knew

01:12:32.609 --> 01:12:35.609
him. But is he on the manifest? He is on a flight

01:12:35.609 --> 01:12:40.069
manifest being on Epstein's plane, not to the

01:12:40.069 --> 01:12:42.649
island. Back and forth from New York to Palm

01:12:42.649 --> 01:12:45.149
Beach. So yes, it looks bad. It looks bad. If

01:12:45.149 --> 01:12:47.609
you think that anybody who knew him was on the

01:12:47.609 --> 01:12:49.949
plane on the island. He's guilty. He's guilty.

01:12:49.970 --> 01:12:52.869
And Trump is guilty. Those criteria. It doesn't

01:12:52.869 --> 01:12:54.890
look good. Anyway, so that's the problem. That's

01:12:54.890 --> 01:12:57.390
the problem with this damn list. My thought.

01:12:57.670 --> 01:13:01.270
Go ahead. Who cares? Exactly. You got this list.

01:13:01.369 --> 01:13:04.270
You got names. Put the names out. So what? Is

01:13:04.270 --> 01:13:08.119
this the biggest problem we have? It can be damning,

01:13:08.119 --> 01:13:10.720
but it needs to be out there. I think transparency

01:13:10.720 --> 01:13:13.579
needs to happen. I'm telling you, man, unless

01:13:13.579 --> 01:13:16.859
you've got photos or videos with Trump with a

01:13:16.859 --> 01:13:21.449
12 year old Korean girl. Who cares? Give me a

01:13:21.449 --> 01:13:24.109
second. I'll make that video. Why does she need

01:13:24.109 --> 01:13:26.149
to be Korean? You can do it now. Yeah, they were

01:13:26.149 --> 01:13:27.609
Swedish, by the way. Is this one of your fantasies

01:13:27.609 --> 01:13:29.710
you got working on? They were all Swedish. Hi,

01:13:29.729 --> 01:13:32.270
my name's Larry. Well, just like the, you know,

01:13:32.270 --> 01:13:34.090
the one. She has to be 12 years old. And Korean.

01:13:34.529 --> 01:13:38.569
Korean. That picture you found a couple years

01:13:38.569 --> 01:13:40.689
ago with Chuck Schumer and the little black girl,

01:13:40.710 --> 01:13:43.310
you know, that was doctored. Yes. You know, that's

01:13:43.310 --> 01:13:45.609
starting to make the rounds again. Yes. It's

01:13:45.609 --> 01:13:49.710
awful. And you got Nancy Pelosi. You know what?

01:13:49.770 --> 01:13:51.329
Back to your point. Back to your point, Larry.

01:13:51.609 --> 01:13:54.449
Maybe what you do is you say, listen, this list

01:13:54.449 --> 01:13:57.289
doesn't mean that they all did this and this

01:13:57.289 --> 01:13:58.869
and this. So there you go. There's the fucking

01:13:58.869 --> 01:14:01.590
list. Read all you want. It doesn't mean that

01:14:01.590 --> 01:14:03.810
these people were this and this and that. But

01:14:03.810 --> 01:14:04.949
what are you going to do? That's just going to

01:14:04.949 --> 01:14:06.609
go bad. So they're going to say, fuck it. Put

01:14:06.609 --> 01:14:09.590
it on the road. Trump has survived way worse

01:14:09.590 --> 01:14:10.989
stuff than this. Trump's not worried about Trump.

01:14:11.310 --> 01:14:13.449
Let it, I mean, let the list out. It's going

01:14:13.449 --> 01:14:15.810
to be, you know, the Dems are going to go fanatic

01:14:15.810 --> 01:14:18.670
for three days and then there's going to be some

01:14:18.670 --> 01:14:21.430
other big headline and some other big story that's

01:14:21.430 --> 01:14:23.289
going to take precedence and it's all going to

01:14:23.289 --> 01:14:26.550
be forgotten. Nobody cares. Nobody's harmed.

01:14:26.989 --> 01:14:30.279
Nobody's hurt. Move on. You may be doing more

01:14:30.279 --> 01:14:33.079
damage by not releasing the list than you are

01:14:33.079 --> 01:14:35.899
releasing it. True. That I may agree with because

01:14:35.899 --> 01:14:39.560
the base is upset. Yeah, we're disappointed.

01:14:39.899 --> 01:14:42.380
And rightfully so. I am. Do you agree with that?

01:14:42.579 --> 01:14:45.039
I'm not upset. No, but do you agree with my statement

01:14:45.039 --> 01:14:46.920
that it's probably causing more damage? I think

01:14:46.920 --> 01:14:49.720
with certain people, I don't think the majority

01:14:49.720 --> 01:14:52.640
care about this anymore. Right. I think there

01:14:52.640 --> 01:14:56.439
is a core group that do. And they're very vocal,

01:14:56.640 --> 01:14:59.119
but I think most people are just like, whatever.

01:14:59.380 --> 01:15:01.979
Well, according to the polls, over 70 % care.

01:15:02.420 --> 01:15:06.539
Yeah. And that is... Well, I mean, you're...

01:15:06.859 --> 01:15:09.199
stating they don't. Well, that's my opinion.

01:15:09.520 --> 01:15:11.560
Well, I mean, according to the polls, they said

01:15:11.560 --> 01:15:14.640
70%. Dude. Well, I don't know. All right. Ending

01:15:14.640 --> 01:15:18.060
on a happy note, happy birthday to Die Hard.

01:15:18.260 --> 01:15:20.380
Oh, yeah. That's not 30 % of everybody. That's

01:15:20.380 --> 01:15:23.720
37 years ago. That's a Christmas movie, by the

01:15:23.720 --> 01:15:26.500
way. 37 years ago, Die Hard was released. Happy

01:15:26.500 --> 01:15:27.720
birthday, Die Hard. It's the greatest Christmas

01:15:27.720 --> 01:15:31.239
movie of all time. And happy birthday to Bruce

01:15:31.239 --> 01:15:33.619
Willis. It's not a Christmas movie. Oh, my God.

01:15:33.619 --> 01:15:35.760
Yippee -ki -yay. Motherfucker. Motherfucker.

01:15:36.170 --> 01:15:37.369
It's a great movie. I may have to watch it. It's

01:15:37.369 --> 01:15:39.170
a great movie. All right, it's July 15th, second

01:15:39.170 --> 01:15:41.689
half of the Dudes Like Us podcast. Thank you,

01:15:41.689 --> 01:15:44.649
Larry. Oh, no, thank you guys for inviting me.

01:15:44.689 --> 01:15:46.170
It's been a lot of fun. Thank you very much.

01:15:46.510 --> 01:15:49.909
Yeah, are you about ready to fall asleep? Is

01:15:49.909 --> 01:15:53.130
your 9 o 'clock bedtime? Is this past it? It's

01:15:53.130 --> 01:15:56.189
way past. Way past. It's way past. I cannot wait

01:15:56.189 --> 01:15:59.529
for that to be a thing. It's so great. Jeff,

01:15:59.729 --> 01:16:02.050
I already hear Jeff. That's a thing for me. You

01:16:02.050 --> 01:16:05.029
know you can go to bed at 8 .30 now if you want

01:16:05.029 --> 01:16:08.850
to. I can't go to bed. I just wish you could

01:16:08.850 --> 01:16:11.689
be in my brain for one hour. This brain will

01:16:11.689 --> 01:16:13.789
not go to bed at fucking 9 o 'clock. Are you

01:16:13.789 --> 01:16:16.649
kidding me? There's too much ADD bullshit going

01:16:16.649 --> 01:16:19.609
on. Again, July 15th, Dudes Like Us podcast.

01:16:19.810 --> 01:16:21.609
Thank you, Chuck, again, for always staying on

01:16:21.609 --> 01:16:24.109
top of shit. Our guest, Larry, God bless. Dudes

01:16:24.109 --> 01:16:26.810
Like Us. I'm Sean. I'm Paul. I'm Jeff. I'm Larry.

01:16:26.970 --> 01:16:28.550
Thank you. Peace out.
