Thank God. July is almost over. We're getting
into August, which is even hotter than July.
Is it? Yes. Except for Saturday, it's supposed
to be a high of 88. Isn't that crazy? We think
88 is like a nice cold front coming through.
Oh my God, that is like a wonderful day. We're
going to be out just in our coveralls and our
long johns. Our speedos. Gallivanting around
the yard. If July is over, does that mean people
of our youth can quit? Dying? No. No. No, the
deaths will continue. But yeah, this Friday is...
Yeah, this Friday is August 1st. Yeah. If you
can believe it. Yeah, I remember August was always...
That's when Brandon and Steve... Actually, no,
Stephen would be a little bit earlier in the
season with Summer Track, but Brandon's football
would start. Oh, yeah. And... August time frame.
I already saw the band people out today. Yeah,
I saw them. I was like, damn, you know, those
are the hardest working guys. They are. They
have the longest schedule. They're out there
the most. I mean, it's unbelievable. Yeah. I
have cred. They have cred. Well, because the
shows they learn here are ridiculous. Yeah, I
know. I mean, Marching Band itself has taken
a, I mean, it's always been kind of cool. I mean,
intricate. Cool? Cool. It's not that cool. Well,
no, it is cool. And I was a band kid. Some of
the college marching band folks out there in
the middle of the football field, I mean, that
stuff is incredible. And when you're tying in
200, 300 musicians, and there's a lot of choreography.
They put in a lot of work. And they're going
to be out there with a crack of ass, especially
in Texas. Yeah. I tell you what, the band shows
around here I am not a fan of for high school.
Oh, okay. Because they are these grand things
with props and dancing. I don't know. It's not
football halftime, what I consider football halftime.
I think the band that I think of is the college
I went to, the Ohio University. They were a blast
to watch. I wasn't sure if you were going to
say blast, but go on. They were fun to watch.
They did all kinds of dances and stuff like that,
but they had no props. and it was a fun band.
I don't think these are fun bands to watch. I
mean, yes, they're neat to see. They have good
symmetry. Whatever, but I think of it more as
they're competition shows, whereas if I had a
band, I would want to be that fun band where
everyone wanted to come out and watch it. Yeah,
I hear you. They're two different animals. I
think you nailed it. They're kind of... They
go out there with the props, and they're doing
these different dances. They have dances. I don't
know. I'm on the fence. I kind of want to disagree
with you a little bit, but it's not a matter
about disagreeing. It's just about preference.
Well, I like both. I just think football games
are not the setting for that type of show, in
my opinion. Yeah, I think it's kind of tough
because I agree with you, but I also want to
have opportunity for the kids in high school
to figure out whether they want to do this in
college. You know, Austin, my youngest, doing
the marching band throughout high school. That
was a beatdown. As a dad, being out there, actually,
it was kind of cool. It was cool. And it was
a beatdown at the same time because my other
son, Preston, was playing football. So I get
to be on the field. And watch your other son.
Yeah. Austin was, like, performing the trumpet,
and Preston was playing on the field football,
and I'd be like, yeah, you don't. You know? Yeah.
And I'd be out there in the middle of the field
pushing this prop, whatever it may be. He'd hang
out right there where the cheerleaders were.
Yeah. Just kind of stand right in the middle
of them. Oh, Sean did? Yeah. Hi, girls. I'm the
bottom. Of the pyramid. Come on, climb on top
of the girls. Check us out on Facebook. Check
us out on Instagram. Dudes Like Us. I'm Sean.
I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff. And it's July 29th, 2024.
We've got a jam -packed show set up. We're sitting
in the green room crunching topics. And we filleth
our board of things to talk about. Yes, for sure.
And one last point about the band thing. So when
I went to A &M, The band, the opposing band that
we most look forward to was Prairie View A &M.
Oh, yeah. It's fun. Because they were freaking
awesome. They were doing all sorts of dances
and fun energy. I'm totally with you on the fun
thing. That's the way the Ohio University band
was. Now, I like the A &M band, too. Oh, yeah.
Oh, that's totally different. That's very, yeah,
it's completely different. Marching band. Truly
a military marching band. Correct. And they do
some crazy things, just patterns and shit. Oh,
yeah. Why aren't they running into each other?
But as far as a football game goes, college may
be a little bit different. High school, I want
to go there and I want to entertain, right? Are
you not entertained? Oh, so you want the band
members to attack each other and have a lion
running through them? Like gladiators? Yeah.
Yeah, that would be good. That would be kind
of cool. This is Sparta! That's me. That's my
preference for a high school football game, but
I like all of it. It's tough to get kids into
that zone because it's tough. Like you said,
those kids out there. 6 o 'clock, 6 .30 in the
morning. It's hard for them to recruit kids to
be in bands? It's a commitment. 100%. They've
got to be there. It's a huge financial commitment
too. It costs money. But they're not having trouble
recruiting kids for bands, are they? I don't
know. I don't know either. When I drove past,
what is it? Lebanon Trail. That's it. They were
out there and there was a shit ton of them. Yeah,
I saw them this morning as well. I was like,
wow. So it doesn't sound like they're having
any problems, but you're right. Huge commitment.
It is. Well, financial, because I know Stephen
was in it. He was in the percussion. His seventh
grade, eighth grade, and he went into freshman
year. And, you know, you get the paperwork. And
I had to buy a $1 ,500 marimba to have in his
house. Oh, good Lord. You know, for seventh and
eighth grade. So we bought that. And then we
get all the paperwork before the school starts.
And I'm looking at all these fees. I'm like,
where are you spending it over? $1 ,000 for him
to be in band. Oh, God. It was ridiculous. Supplies
and this and that. And not all families can afford
that. How do they do that? I don't know. I mean,
we're going to do it because he wanted to do
it, but then he was also running cross -country,
and those two conflicted because cross -country
was actually earlier in the morning than band.
Oh, wow. So he'd go out and run five, six miles
and then go straight to band. Oh, shit. Wow.
Because the bands here, They have like an hour
of calisthenics before they even start. Ooh.
Right? So he would show up at the end of that,
and the band director's like, he's done a good
workout already. He doesn't have to be here for
that part. So he was skipping that and going,
but it got to be too much, and he was like, yeah,
I'm out. Yeah, screw that. It's tough. You've
only got so much liquid in your body. Yeah, and
they're out there all day. And it's hot already
by the point that they're out there. Yeah, no.
pass well i did it in high school uh there was
not the commitment like that you see here we
had band camp and shit like that where you're
you're every day from seven to five for a week
what instrument did you play i played i played
i started with trumpet then i moved to baritone
which is the the bigger one uh and then i moved
to drums i played the a we had tritons with the
three drums So you never played the flutohorn
or whatever that... I never played the flutist.
I wasn't a flautist. What was that? Flugelhorn.
Flugelhorn. Flugelhorn. I played the baritone
in a concert band, after marching band. I don't
think that's even close to what it actually sounds
like. Yeah, it's exactly what it sounds like.
Semi. So I played the trombone in the marching
band. I remember it was the Mannheim Bisons in
Mannheim, Germany. Yeah. We had blue and yellow
outfits. Did German schools have marching bands?
This was a... I know you weren't in a German
school, but they didn't have stuff like this.
They had a marching band. They had football.
Do you like the Rose Parade? You'll see places
from Brazil and... They don't play football.
Do they play football? They play soccer. Well,
okay, and they have a marching band? So marching
bands are only created for football? What the
hell, man? I thought it was an American thing.
Honestly, I did. I thought it's not an American
thing. Well, hold on, hold on, hold on. Yes,
they had a marching band. No, they didn't have
football, pigskin football. Yeah, right. I just
said that. In fact, now that you mention it,
why the hell do they even have a marching band?
I think it's probably more military and school
related. It's really a question. I thought it
was an American football thing had marching bands
and I didn't think that it was really a thing
in other high schools around the world. They
may do more parade type work than like halftime
type shows. I remember I was in middle school
going into high school and I remember There was
my chemistry teacher. I was doing a lab or something.
Long story short. Was she the one who could play
the Baker Street saxophone? That was in Germany.
God bless it. I told the teacher to go fuck himself.
I didn't say go fuck yourself. I said, fuck off.
Because he had said something. I wasn't paying
attention or something. This was in chemistry
lab. I ended the semester. beer in the class.
It wasn't that big of a deal. And I said, I apologize
and stuff, but I got in big trouble. And then,
all of a sudden, when I'm in high school, he's
the band teacher. And there I am rolling in,
and he's just like, hey, guys, this is Sean Murphy.
You know, he told me to go fuck myself. Did he
really? Did he really say that? Yes. He's like,
hey, hey, guys. I'm not that kid anymore. Well,
I mean, it was just kind of funny. You know,
just calling me out like that. And it wasn't
like a beat down or shaming me or anything. He
was just trying to make a light of the moment.
But he was a well -respected teacher. All the
students loved him. But he just beat me up one
day. I don't know what the deal was with that.
Now I'm starting to think about it. I'm like,
huh. Some deep -seated issues going on back then.
Was there no context behind any of it? I don't
remember so long ago. You're sitting there behaving
yourself. No, I was not. I was talking to somebody.
I was doing something I shouldn't be doing. I'm
pretty sure of that. He had pediatric Tourette's.
Probably did. Small children. Yeah, he couldn't
help telling everybody, fuck, fuck off, fuck
off. Right. There are people like that. I know.
Unbelievably. Couldn't imagine it. I can't either.
Imagine if your wife has that and you go to a
work party and she has it under control because
she's had medication or something and you're
meeting somebody super important and she's like,
fuck you, fuck you, fuck you. There's a girl
on social media I've seen. She's probably 20.
She cooks. Yeah, with her boyfriend. It's hilarious.
And she's like fucking telling him all kinds
of shit. And he's just kind of... Yeah, and she
does this thing with her face, and she has these
tics, and it is hilarious. I died laughing. How
are the two of you the most... Sammy has hemorrhoids.
I know. Sammy has crabs. I know. Sammy has a
vagina. I know. Oh, my God. Oh, boy. We need
video for that. Yes. All right, our producer
has on the screen a transposed Trump on... That
is not Sidney Sweeney's body. That is not Sidney
Sweeney's body, but that's the big craze right
now is her ad, her jeans ad. And what is it,
jeans? American Eagle. Good jeans. Yeah, Sidney
Sweeney has good jeans. Good jeans, yes. Well,
apparently it's Nazi to some people. Yes, good
jeans invokes some sort of whatever. I don't
understand. I think I was going to say it out
there in agreement, but. People, look at that.
Man. That's some really nice denim. Oh, God.
But people will find offense in everything if
you're looking for it. Oh, for sure. And a lot
of these people look to be offended. You know,
they're pissed off at her because she's incredible
looking. She is. And she's on top of the world
right now. And they hate her probably. And she's
like, I'm offended by this. She said the word
Jean on Blue Eyes. It's Nazi. Blonde hair. Area
of race, Nazi. Absolutely a reference to Nazism.
Really? I mean, come on. She's not afraid to
do nude scenes, I'll tell you that. How do you
know that? Google it. So who is Sidney Sweeney?
What? She's an actress. Are you serious right
now? I do not know her. She is like today's Farrah
Fawcett. What is she on? She's a looker. She's
been in several movies. HBO show called Euphoria,
where I saw her doing some sex scenes of full
nudes. Really? Oh, yeah. Kind of nine yards,
man. She is all the rage right now. For sure.
She's been on Saturday Night Live a couple times
with hilarious sketches. She was a Hooters girl
earning all these tips and all the other Hooters
girls can't figure out why she's making so much
money. Guys are just handing her wads of bills.
I think she's from Texas somewhere. because I
know her mom's birthday or something like that,
they had a big family gathering, and I think
someone was wearing a Make America Great hat
again, so everyone jumped her shit because a
family member was wearing that hat. Wow. So she's
like - You're talking about Sweeney? Yeah, Sweeney.
Someone in her family was wearing it, so all
the social media dickwads - Were dogging her
for it. Dogging her. because someone was wearing
it in a picture. Is she responsible for what
other people wear? I don't know what she did,
but it went away. I don't know. It's fucking
stupid. Like I said, people are going to find
offense in everything if you're looking for it.
She's been in a lot of movies. Yeah. Yeah, she's
been in a lot. How did she get her big break?
Because she seems like a... I'm not saying she's...
I think it's a euphoria. Her character is over
the top. I mean, she was wearing skimpy clothes
basically through the entire thing. Yeah. Or
nothing at all. She started in 2010. Zombies
of Mass Destruction, The Ward was in 2010. Oh,
The Zombies of Mass Destruction was probably
it. Yeah, The Bling Ring, Spiders, Angels, Stardust.
Well, it says Breakthrough. What is this? Probably
Euphoria is my guess. I have no idea. I saw her
in Euphoria. Yeah, Euphoria. The Horde. I recognized
her in Handmaid's Tale. I was like, oh my God,
that is a young Sidney Sweeney. I was like that
before she was big, I guess. Yeah, she's been
in a few movies, and like I said, I don't know
much about her outside of the one TV show. That's
super unfortunate that she's a target. She does
not give a shit. Well, I will tell you, when
she started to become astronomical, there were
power ladies in Hollywood that were trying to
tear her down. And this is before this ad and
before all this kind of stuff. One lady was saying
she's not even good looking. I don't know why.
I mean, they were just tearing her down, looking
for reasons to diminish her success. And she
even called him out. She was like, what happened
to women supporting women? What did I do to you?
You know what I mean? She called him out. Well,
good. I mean, I'm proud of her. She seems to
be like a pretty confident, you know, owning
her aura and success. She knows what she has.
She's using it. She's not ashamed of it. She
just dumped some guy she was with and I was like,
wow, that was probably a mistake. What, dumping
a dude? No, the dude doing whatever he did. Jonathan
DeVino. They separated in 2025 and their wedding
was canceled. Yeah. I wonder what happened. I
don't know. He's probably kicking himself. Unless
she's a complete... He was probably at a Coldplay
concert with his girlfriend. Could be. With the
HR department. Yeah, probably. Crazy. Anyway,
yeah, it's been a, you know what? That's one
kind of happy thing that's going on right now,
other than her being dogged. But man, what a
rough week with... Some violence going on. Violence
it did this week, man. We had the Manhattan shooting
where some guy was... Angry at the NFL and angry
at football in general because he's got brain
issues and decides to shoot up the lobby? He
had nothing to do with the NFL. He played in
high school football. He was angry at football
in general. Well, he went there to shoot up the
NFL office, but he went on the wrong elevator.
Correct. Well, I mean, he shot some people in
the lobby first. In the lobby, then he got on
an elevator, went to the 33rd floor and shot
someone else, and he shot himself in the chest.
Because he wants his brain to be studied for
CTE. Dude, that's whack, man. I wouldn't study
it. I would be like, yeah, too late. I mean,
there he is, just gallivanting in the middle
of Manhattan with his M4. That's a white guy,
right? And they say he's possibly white. Well,
no. Oh, did they really? Yeah, that's what CNN
said. So you're initially saying that it was
a white suspect? Yeah, they had that picture.
They're like, yeah, a potentially white man.
Oh, no. Really? Come on. Why can't we get, we're
not going to get past this race thing. We're
just not. It's awful. Anyway, so they had that.
Then we had the Walmart stabbings. That was a
white guy, I think. Yeah, that was weird. He
whipped out a three and a half inch pocket knife.
Yeah, a folding knife. I don't think anyone died.
They just got maimed. But there was like 16 of
them that got punched or pickled. Don't get me
wrong. I don't want to get poked by a three inch
knife. I think some guy with a gun ended up stopping
him. Yeah, that guy right there. Derrick Perry,
a U .S. Marine veteran. Very nice. Whipped out
his gun, his sidearm. And he held him at gunpoint.
He didn't shoot him or anything. He just said,
you're done here. He may have shot him if he
was going to go for someone else. I would have
blown his pinky toe off. Yeah, it would have
been hard not to stab. It would have killed the
goo. But yeah, he had a gunpoint right there
in the parking lot. Just take his D's out. I'm
kidding. Well, and then we had that. And then
we also had the Cincinnati downtown brawl. That
was ugly. That was bad. It was so ugly. Yeah.
But the thing is, is that I'm glad this is getting
some attention. But this has been going on for
a long time. I don't think it really is getting
attention. I think it is on Fox. I saw it on
Fox News. I don't think CNN. I saw Elon posted
something where. No stories on CNN, no on MSNBC,
Washington Post. And he listed all these. That
said, zero stories on this right here. So, is
it out there? Outside of what we see here? I
hope so, because this is so ugly. I mean, they
were just like a normal, it seemed to be a couple
just going downtown to enjoy some nightclub,
whatever. I don't know how it started. It was
a jazz fest. Right. I thought it was an R &B
fest. Well, they have a jazz festival in Cincinnati.
And then it became a mob attack. A thug, a thuggery
mob attack. Yeah, one of the guy, you know. What
the hell, man? Helped instigate it. You let the
two guys duke it out. Not a mob. Yeah, and then
it was like people who were not even involved
in the situation. It just got tribal. Yeah, they
took an opportunity to beat up on a guy. And
what I have a problem with is all these people
videoing it just. Doing nothing. Yeah. A hundred
people around him. One person. Well. At the end,
some lady tried to help him up. But then the
lady here gets. Some black lady tried to help
the guy up. And then they all started to gather
around. And this is when the lady got. Sucker
punched. Oh, bad. Yeah. She was like. She had
her hands up. And she was like, come on, guys.
That's enough. That's enough. And then some dude
just clocks her. I'm like, what animals would
do this? And I think her head hit the ground.
She's going to have problems. They both are.
They're saying they're severely injured. Yeah.
Well, I'm thinking brain -wise. Unbelievable.
It's unbelievable. You crank your head on the
cement like that. I hope they find every single
one of them, and I hope they have multiple years
in jail. I think they will. They're going to
have the FBI's involved now. Yeah. Because this
is honestly a hate crime. It's a hate crime.
This was 100 % racially motivated. J .D. Vance
even called out the mayor or the assistant mayor
or something like that and says, we need to find
these people and throw them in jail for a long
time. And the police chief is like, well, you
know what? Hold on, guys. Hold on. You need to
know the context. No, I want to know how or why
the fight started. Well, you need to know the
context of how things happened. Yeah. 20 people
beating up one guy. I don't care what the context
is. Yeah. It's just, it's ugly. And you know
what? And the whole group needs to be accountable.
They need to go through the footage and every
single one of them. Well, they have in Ohio,
there's a law. Again, I heard this on Fox. There's
a association. So all these people that are around
are as culpable as people doing it. Yeah. Yeah,
and the audio I was listening to, this guy was
like, oh, oh, this dude is, oh, man, oh, man,
this dude is getting, oh, he's getting, oh, man.
I was like, what the fuck? It kind of reminds
me. It's so gross. It kind of reminds me of the
horrible footage of, you remember the guy who
got the shit beat out of him? You know how these
cars take over an intersection? Yep. Start doing
donuts and shit. Start doing donuts. And the
guy just got the shit beat out of him, knocked
out, and ended up putting a bucket over his head.
Yeah, a Home Depot bucket. Remember that? They
beat the shit out of him. Yep. And all he was
was complaining about how close they got to his
car or something, right? Yeah. I mean, he was
out. But I don't think anything ever came of
that. At least I haven't seen anything. And I
think these people filming for the post on Instagram,
I think social media, is part of this problem
that we're seeing here because all these people
have their phones out so they could post it.
That's what they said. They said over 100 people
were filming it and they got one 911 call. Right.
One. And that's what the police chief, why didn't
you call the police? And I'm thinking to myself,
why wasn't their police already there? Right.
When you're downtown and clubs are getting out
at 3 in the morning, you know nothing good happens.
Right. There should have already been police
down there. With that many people around, there
should be some cops. Oh, for sure. Anyway, makes
me sick. I got sick watching that. I don't want
to watch it anymore. It's going to make me angry.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So what's going on with Charlie
Kirk? I heard you guys saying something about
it. Oh, it's the South Park. Cartman kind of
turned into Charlie Kirk for a while. Oh, is
that on the show? The South Park is still putting
out shows? They just started. Yeah, they just
started their new season. Look at his hair. Yeah,
I think the first episode was one bashing Trump.
And then this one, is this a separate one or
the same one? This is the second. The second
one, I guess, has Charlie Kirk in it. But do
they bash everybody? They bash everybody, right?
Left and right? They don't lean one way or another,
do they? For the most part. I mean, Chuck says
that they really never picked on Joe. They never
really touched Joe or Kamala. Really? But they
kind of make, just kind of like the family guy,
right? They kind of make fun of everybody. That's
what. All comedians should do. Right. Except
they didn't. They didn't make fun of Joe or Kim.
I don't like that. I don't know. I don't have
a problem if they're making fun of Trump. I don't
care. No, I don't care about that. I just want
it to be, you know. Right. Comedy. Don't make
it. Don't lean one way or the other. Anyway.
That's kind of why there's the comedian that
plays in Tires. What's his name? Gillis. Shane
Gillis. So, I mean, he had a comedy. show last
week or the week before. One of the awards show.
He was on the ESPYs. Yeah. He was talking about
all kinds of topics. Woke people. WNBA. He said,
here's so -and -so from the WNBA. It was totally
not her. See, I knew nobody knew this. It was
Kareem Jean -Pierre, wasn't it? No, it was not,
but she looked like her too. It was his friend's
girlfriend. Oh, it looked like KGP. Were they
referencing the t -shirt? No. Pay me more. Pay
me what you owe me or whatever. I think he was
trying to make a point that no one watches WNBA.
That nobody knew who they were. Yeah, I got you.
I had a WNBA game on yesterday for about 10 minutes.
Yeah. It was the Dallas game. It was terrible.
It was absolutely terrible. But Dallas isn't
very good for sure. Well, they're beating up
on New York or whoever they played yesterday.
Terrible. And I was just like, I don't know.
Missed shots, missed passes. They look like me
dribbling on some of these people. You know,
and I'm just, you know, whatever. The quality
of basketball is not, and we talked about it
last podcast, but the quality of basketball,
you know, obviously it's got, it's not men's
basketball. Right. But again, it's a different
thing. Well, men against women, there's no competition.
On the soccer team that was hosted here in the
Frisco area, they had under 15 soccer boys. Beat
the, was it the Olympic team? No. The national
team, U .S. national team. Yeah. That is crazy.
I mean, it's not crazy, but it's kind of a, hey,
man, it's a reality check. It makes the point.
Yes. It absolutely makes the point. These guys
are 15 and under, and they schooled you kids.
And did you see the video of it? Not only did
they school them, but they fucking schooled them.
I mean, misdirection. It was like eight to nothing
or something. It was crazy. I don't know. I never
saw it. You got one of those little shots of
Shane Gillis? I don't have a specific one now.
But he was pretty funny. I like the way Shane
Gill is kind of... I really enjoy his impersonations
of Donald Trump. He's freaking funny. I've tried
watching... I watched one episode of Tires. I
may give it another one, but... You have to,
dude. That's hilarious. I'm going to go over
here. Donald Trump wants to stage a UFC fight
on the White House lawn. The last time he staged
a fight in D .C., Mike Pence almost died. All
right. You don't have to do that. It was fine.
I didn't write it. I don't care. I didn't write
it. There's supposed to be an Epstein joke here,
but as it got deleted, it must have probably
deleted itself, right? Probably never existed,
actually. Let's move on as a country and ignore
that. But no, Tires is awesome. What is Tires
now? It's on HBO. Oh, I don't have HBO. It's
on Netflix now. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, it's
on Netflix. Oh, okay. I'm back in. I'm back in.
Now, what is it now? It's Tire Shop. Yeah, Tire
Shop in New Jersey. Yeah, but it's like, you
know, one of the scenes is. They're trying to
get more business for the place. And so they
hire all these, I guess, model girls? I've already
watched the first one. The car wash. Oh, they
did a car wash. And I think some sort of a city
code came in. So he told the girls to go hide
in a container behind the store. And they're
like, I'm not climbing in that thing, you know?
All right, I'll check it out. But is it totally
guy humor? Well, it is. I'm asking because Shelly
would probably be like, I'm not watching. I think
Julie was about to check out on it. Oh, great.
That's probably not going to work. I'll give
it a shot. We're going to try another one. She's
like, I'll give you one more. I'll give you one
more. I mean, if you watch the, I mean, that
first one was a pilot, right? So they got to
kind of set things up. Right. That's why I was
like, I need to give it more because the pilot.
If you bail on friends at the pilot, you're,
you know, you're missing out on. I know. Yep.
I always give it a few, two or three to try to
at least catch me. But the first one didn't do
much for me. So last week, Shelly can't stand
Westerns. And I was like, listen, it's probably
because you haven't watched any real, like a
good Western. And I said, listen. I know it's
going to be really long, but let's see if you
can get through the good, the bad, and the ugly,
right? That's the older one. The older one. Yeah,
with Clint Eastwood, right? And I was like, because
I hadn't seen it since I was in middle school,
right? So I put it on, and this is when we're
down in Bryan College Station, right? And she
was already just kind of. Looking at her phone.
Yeah, she's trying to play her little stupid
game on the phone. I was like, put the phone
down and pay attention to the movie. And it's
going to be good. You'll like it. Well, yeah,
that didn't last. It did go. You're talking about
the actual movie. Yeah. Oh, my God. I saw that
in the movie theater. It's great. It's actually.
I mean, now, granted, in those days, they took
longer for everything. Nowadays, our attention
span is so damn short that we can't stand a scene
that can take 10 seconds taking three minutes.
Right. And that's the way it is. Everything's
slow and deliberate. Did you guys watch Deadwood?
No. I recommend Deadwood. That's a, I guess it's
kind of a Western. It takes place in Deadwood,
Montana or some new frontier town. Okay. Is it
modern day or a period piece? No. It's a brand
new, it's a period piece. So it came out in the
late. It's set in a mining town. Yeah. It came
out in the late teens. No, but I mean. It's a
new show. I mean, it ran its course. Okay, okay.
So it's off, so there's like five, four, five
seasons of it. Gotcha. Deadwood, okay. Yeah,
it's good. It's really good, and she may enjoy
that because it's got the same characters in
it. It's an hour long. Right. And it's a good
drama, right? So the one we just started watching
is what? And it's mean. Hell on... Wheels? No.
The motorcycle one? No. It's a Western. Hell
on Earth, Hell on Fire, Hell on something. I
don't know. I don't know. Anyway, we started
watching that, and she actually likes it. It's
a Western, and it seems to be pretty good. So
I'll give that a shot and see if she has a second
opinion. It's not Hell on Wheels? No. Well, I
don't know. Oh, yeah, it is. I'm sorry. Yeah,
Hell on Wheels. It is Hell on Wheels. Well, you
said the motorcycle show. I was thinking Sons
of Anarchy. Yeah, Hell on Wheels, that's about,
I think, the train, isn't it? Yes. Yes. It's
good. Do you watch the new Star Trek? Yes. That's
Captain Pike. Man, when did that come out? I
just started watching that. You're talking about
the - Anson Mount? Anson Mount. That's Pike.
Show me a picture of him. Can I watch the whole
thing yesterday? Oh my God, it is. I did not
recognize him. The new Star Trek came out three
years ago, the first episode. I did not recognize
him. Man, I started watching that yesterday.
The new Star Trek? Yeah, the one that came out
evidently three years ago. It's really good.
Well, we talked about it last year. They had
a musical one. Oh, come on. What is up with that?
I know. I mean, they explain it. But there's
a singing one. It bothered me. There's no explaining
it. It's every God -blessed show has to have.
I mean, Scrubs had one. All of them have to,
even as serious as they are, they still have
to have one. Star Trek had it. And the only saving
grace of it, if there is anything at all, is
that some of the female actors got to wear stuff
that they don't normally wear. Oh, yeah. Go on.
Cleavage. I'm just going to leave it there. And
they're wearing, like, cleavage. Yeah, Jeff didn't
leave it there. I was leaving it there, and he
was like, cleavage, lots of cleavage. Creamy.
I don't know about that. But anyway, yeah, I
highly recommend that Star Trek. It's really,
really good. We just started season three. We
watched the first episode. It was good. We watched
the whole thing, I think. No, season three just
came out. Oh, Star Trek? Season three of what?
Oh, shit. Star Trek. Brave New World. Yeah, Brave
New World just started. I did not know that.
Thank you. I just got done watching Blindspot.
God, the last set took forever. Yes. How do you
think that ended? The last season was just kind
of... It sucked. What's that about? This girl
shows up with a bunch of tattoos all over her
body, and she lost her memory. All the tattoos
are clues to how to solve certain crimes. It
kind of reminds me of The Blacklist. Kind of.
It's got the same kind of spontaneity and the
same kind of detective -style, FBI, above -the
-law kind of mentality. It was cheesy. It was
good for the first couple seasons, and then you're
like, all right. I remember a movie called Memento.
Same type of concept where he puts tattoos on
his body to know what happened to him. Doesn't
Memento run from the end of the movie to the
front? There's a movie out there that does that.
So you see the crime, and then it goes. in reverse
on what leads up to it or something like that.
Yeah, I just remember there being... Tracking
down the man who raped or murdered his wife.
The difficulty of locating his wife's killer
is compounded by the fact that he suffers from
a rare, untreatable form of memory loss. There
we go. Although he can recall details of the
life before the accident, he cannot remember
what happened 15 minutes ago. Yeah, I think that's
a movie that runs in reverse. Yeah, so he has
to give himself tattoos to keep going with the
clue. The clues on who murdered his wife or whatever.
Saul Memento. Interesting. It came out in 2000.
Yeah. Yeah. I think that's the one that does
it. That's what it reminded me of. Guy Pearce.
When you said blind spot, that's what I thought
of. Anyway, interesting. Oh, my gosh. Hot, super
hot day today. Yes. Football season's coming
around the corner. Excited about that. What else
we got going on? I just found out that Will Levis
is out for the season, which makes it a really
easy quarterback competition for the Titans.
Yeah, I don't think it was. I don't know. Who
knows what this Cam Ward's going to do? You really
don't know. You don't know. I'm excited, though.
I mean, Will Levis was supposed to be the next
coming. I know. Then he likes mayonnaise. But
you know what? I know. Those commercials are
so awkward. That's bad. It's so awkward. He's
doing splits. Yes. I like mayonnaise. Yeah, I
know. It's really gross. You know, but you've
got to be excited about who they picked up, right?
I mean, did Cincinnati pick up any? Like, exciting
people that they're waiting to see how they do?
Well, their number one pick just got signed.
Shamar Stewart from Texas A &M. Oh. Supposed
stud. Well, if he went to A &M, he's absolutely
stud. Well, he's got all the measurables, but
I guess his stats don't live up to those measurables.
What is he? He's a defensive lineman edge rusher,
I think. Okay. We'll have to keep tabs on that.
Yeah, and I think— What about the Cowboys? I
don't know what the Cowboys got. Did they get
anybody? Sean, do you even know? Do you watch
sports? Do you watch the Cowboys at all? He's
having to look it up. Listener, he's having to
look it up. That's all right. The Cowboys made
several roster moves. They signed quarterback
Christian Matthew. They also traded for quarterback
Joe Milton. Quarterback? From the New England
Patriots. Is Dak going somewhere? Probably anticipated.
Is Dak in his final year? No, he just signed
a humongous one last year. Did he really? Huge.
He's the highest paid quarterback in the league.
Why? They signed a free agent, Jack Sanborn.
What has he done? Exactly. Oh, my God. He did
a lot of Campbell's Soup commercials. Did Ezekiel
Elliott get the boot yet? Yes. Where did he go?
He's gone. I don't think he's anywhere. I think
he's... Cowboys released him. So he's got a big
old fat contract and they just paid him off?
No, he doesn't have a big old fat contract. That
was a while ago I thought he got cut. No? Well,
he got cut. He went to the New England Patriots
for a year. Then the Pats cut him. And then the
Cowboys picked him up last year. Put him on like
a... He's so bad. How can he go from being so
good to so horrible? Those guys only last...
Running backs only last five, six years tops.
Yeah. He ran his course. And they get beat up.
He ran his course. They don't last. They don't.
Not like they used to. I know Emmitt Smith lasted,
you know, fucking 15 years. But, you know, not
many do. Walter Payton did. Walter Payton lasted
forever. Earl Campbell. Look at Earl Campbell
now. He can't even move. He only played for five
years. Yeah. Who was the guy with the Vikings?
Adrian Peterson. Adrian Peterson. He played for
a long time. before he kind of fell off. There's
a few that could do it, but most of them are
short -term. Well, Barry Sanders from the Lions,
he played for, what, two, three years and was
like, fuck this. Yeah, he was longer than that.
Longer than that. He was longer than that. He
would have been the highest rusher if he would
have stayed in it. He played probably about five
years, I thought. Yeah, he was going to be the
number one rusher if he kept playing, but he
was like, yeah, I want to live. And he shocked
the world, man. Oh, wow. He played longer than
I thought. Almost 10 years. What? Wow. And he
was playing at a high level, too. Oh, yeah. Wow.
Yep. Yep, he was. Yeah, he was good. He didn't
do, I mean, but Detroit still kind of sucked.
Yeah, just like when they had that wide receiver,
what they used to call him. Calvin. No. Megatron.
Megatron. Calvin Johnson. Yeah, Calvin Johnson.
Yeah. He finally was like, yeah, I'm out. He
retired, too? He retired, too. Yeah. He still
could have played. These guys, man, they got
to think about their future, man. Yeah. I mean,
we're talking about less than 10 years of a very
violent sport, and then what? Yep. Well, that
kind of leads into the Manhattan shooting. I
know. I mean, I don't know. I wish they'd leave
a manifest or anything like that. They found
a letter. I don't think we know what's on it
yet. He left a note? Yeah. He drove from Nevada.
all the way out there to do this. It's like he
drove straight through and did it. Interesting.
So they're starting to dissect his weapon. They're
like, well, he got this weapon. He got a portion
of this weapon. It was pieced together, you know,
like a bottom portion of the weapon he got from
a friend that bought it online and the top part
he got from somewhere else. You know how you
build these fancy weapons. Yeah. I mean, it's
just an M4. I mean, there's nothing spectacular
about it. They're saying it's kind of like an
AR -15. I'm thinking it's closer. It's a weapon
of war. Well, actually, it's more of a weapon
of war than the AR -16. An M4 is a rifle. Do
you mean AR -15? What did I say? 16. I was thinking
M16. That's the next iteration. M16. I was thinking
M16. The next iteration of weapon of war. Yes.
Assault rifle. They look horrific. They look
like something that comes out of war, but they're
just semiotic rifles, but whatever. But he's
white. Look at him. Yeah, he doesn't look white
to me. Look at these fucking people. Yeah, possibly
white. That's what CNN says. There's just nothing
honest about mainstream media, man. They've lost
all credibility. No credibility whatsoever. It
drives me crazy. That's almost right. Sometimes
I listen, and I'm like, I wish I was on there,
and I could. Say something to these people. And
just say, you're full of it. Yeah, just say,
you're wrong. You're a liar. Yeah. It's not even
being wrong. They're liars. Yeah, just say, he's
not white. Look at him. Why did you say he was
white? Awful. What was your motivation? Why are
you pulling race into this? Right. Well, reflecting
on last week versus this week, there are less
deaths to talk about. That's a positive thing,
right? I know we have all this violence we're
talking about, but there was only one death this
week, but it's a big one. It's a big one. It's
a big one. It's a big sports one, yeah. Rhino,
right? That was his nickname. Nickname, Ryan
Sandberg, yep. Ryan Sandberg. I have no idea
who he is. He was a cubby. I remember watching
him play for a long, long time because he played
the Reds a lot. Right. But I don't know what
ended up getting him. He died young. Cancer.
Yes, prostate, metastatic prostate cancer. Metastatic,
what is that? It means it. Left the prostate.
That's what Joe Biden has. Biden has it. Scott
Adams has it. Meaning it was. It's in the bones.
I hate to, this sounds judgmental, but meaning
it was caught, it wasn't caught early enough.
Correct. The earlier you catch this stuff, the
less likely it is to spread outside of the localized
area. So that's why get your prostate checked
often. Yep. Often and frequently. That's like
every two or three weeks. Yeah. So, oh, yeah,
Andre Dawson, Ernie Banks. Yeah, I remember all
of them. Oh, yeah, those are big names. Yeah,
Andre Dawson was huge. Not a huge fan of Ryan
Sandberg, like I said, because he always beat
up on my Reds. Yeah. But I knew of him. Yeah,
I knew of him. If you were a kid of the 80s and
90s, you saw him on WGN all the time. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, sure. Just like the Braves because that
was the afternoon games, you know? So I personally
don't hear a lot about baseball anymore because
I've kind of dropped off. But what say you guys?
Are you still big baseball fans? Do you watch
baseball games during the week or on the weekend?
I'll try to tune in. I'm a Cincinnati Red fan.
Sure. But, again, living down here, you lose.
It's easier to be in touch now because you got
the MLB app. You get all this shit. You can still
follow them. Yeah, if you want to pay for it.
Yeah, but when I first moved down here in 93,
they had none of that. So basically, you lost
touch of everything where I was in Cincinnati.
I didn't get any Reds news, Bengals news, or
anything like that for when did the internet
really get robust enough? Another decade after
that? Yeah, right. So you lose touch, lose interest,
and I'll get back into it. The Reds are doing
okay this year. You know, I can't follow them.
Yeah, I check out the standings for the Astros
like every month or so, you know, just to see
how they're doing. But I'm with you. But what
about if any game is on? I stopped watching baseball
after they went on strike. Oh, wow. Okay. There
were a couple guys like that. So I understand
that. Yeah. You get tired of the. Yeah, because
there was a time where I was watching. Every
game. When the Texas Rangers opened up the second
stadium in Arlington, I was there on opening
day. I went to tons and tons and tons of games.
Then they went on strike. I was like, I'm out.
I'm out. Why do you guys think you need that
much money? It's just like, come on. To be honest,
I prefer listening to it on the radio. And I
think that's what part of it was growing up because
I was always outside. And we'd have the Cincinnati
Reds game on the radio. We're just kids sitting
around and the Reds game would be on. So we had
Marty Brenneman and Joe Nuxall. I grew up listening
to them. So watching them on TV is different
for me. I'd rather be out somewhere with a baseball
game on in the background listening to it. I
used to love listening to the Astros. I was in
college in the lab. Right, in the computer lab,
hours and hours and hours. And I would, yeah,
same thing. Listening to the big piece. You were
in the computer lab? Yeah. You were supposed
to be working? What's that? No, I was doing projects.
I was a computer science major, and I was in
the computer lab trying to make shit work. Like,
right, Fortran? Yeah. It wasn't Fortran, but
we had Assembler. Were you getting the Apple
IIe Turtle to move with the HDR graphics card?
No, we didn't have any of that. That was before
that. Yeah. These computers were before that.
The Tandy 2000? Yeah, some old shit, man. That
was my first computer was the Tandy 1000. My
very first computer. Mine was the RadioShack
TRS -80 Model 3. The trash 80. Well, mine was
RadioShack too. The Tandy 1000, yeah. With the
floppy. Yeah, it didn't have any hard drive to
it. Then the second computer I got had a hard
drive. And that thing was huge. Yeah, this ran
off the five, what is it, five and a half, five
and a quarter, whatever, floppies. So you'd have
your operating system on one, and then you'd
run your programs on the other one. God, that
was so crazy. I remember being, I had to talk
my mom into letting me buy a computer, like an
actual, you know, like the better computer that
had the hard drive. And she let me buy it, and
I was doing all sorts of basic programming. Did
anybody else do that? Oh, I did basic programming
all day. Oh, yeah. I wrote these really, really
sophisticated, long programs. I mean, that's
what I was doing. That was the only reason why
I picked that as my major because I was like,
I don't know what else to do. That's the only
thing I kind of do as a hobby other than play
basketball, and I wasn't good enough to play
basketball anywhere. I remember the project.
We had to create Battleship in our computer in
high school. So you had to get the graphics down.
Then you had to get all the logic and all that
shit. So that was pretty fun doing that. Yeah.
It actually worked. God, I spent hours doing
that stuff. That was fun stuff. Back in the good
old days. Did you have a Commodore 64 by any
chance? No, I did not. My buddies had a Commodore
64. Yeah. I did not. And I remember, gosh, this
was 86 maybe, 85. where you had the dial -up
modem. You actually had the phone, right? And
the modem. 2 ,400 baht. Yeah. Right. And somehow,
I don't even remember how we did it, but somehow
we hooked up. He lived down the street. He had
his Commodore 64 at the modem. Somehow we hooked
up to where we could type to each other. Oh,
nice. I couldn't tell you how the hell we did
it, but we figured it out. In our dorm room,
we would be on the opposite ends of the hall,
and we'd play the F -16 attack each other thing.
Yeah, we hooked up. I don't know. We did the
modem thing, and we were playing each other.
It was so funny because we would launch this
missile, and you could never see each other.
We weren't face -to -face dogfighting. I would
launch the missile, and I would just wait. And
then down the room, you hear this, God damn!
I was like, yeah! I mean, nowadays, kids have
no idea. Different times. I remember one of the
first games my dad got was called Adventure.
Oh, yeah, the Atari 2600? No, this was on the
TRS -80, so it was all words. Was it like Pitfall?
No, there was no graphics. Oh. Basically, there's
a paragraph saying, you just crash landed on
this planet. There's a big tree to your left.
There's a mountain over here and a cave. And
that's it. And you see a rock to your left. Which
would you like to go to? No, you don't even do
that. You have to command it. Turn to the left
and go to the tree. Right. Pick up the rock.
Yeah. The tree is brown and it has a carving
on it. What is that carving? It is of a, whatever.
It's so bad. So you had to start piecemealing,
and you had to find the treasure. Yes. I got
not very far. I was like, screw this. This is
stupid. Even back then, I was like, yeah, this
is dumb. You're going to wait until computer
games advance a little bit? I guess. But yeah,
it was. Did you guys ever play Myth? Myth. Or
is it Missed? Missed. Missed. No. Really? It's
a new game. No, this is old. It's like one of
the first games out there. Oh, I remember that
game. No, I never played it. That was a lot of
fun. That's kind of like the adventure game,
but with graphics. Correct. Yes. So imagine doing
that with all words. Yeah, with all words. Yeah.
That wouldn't work. Well, the puzzles on this
game are pretty elaborate. Yeah, you had to ask
all these questions, and it would tell you stuff.
Yeah. And we would get stuck and get so frustrated.
Yep. Because there's only certain things that
are loaded. Yep. You have to ask the right question.
Yes. And it didn't describe it very well, so
how would you know that there was something on
the ceiling or something like that? Yeah, look
up to the ceiling. Right. On the ceiling, there's
a lever. Yeah, you see, exactly, exactly. It's
like, really? But it's out of reach. Yes, I had
a friend, and the two of us, we were trying to
get through this game, and it was so frustrating.
Yeah, it was ridiculous. But it was fun, too.
I mean, it was all we had. Yeah, it was. I tried
over and over, but I get to a certain point,
and I was like, I can't go any further. And then
finally, PlayStation came out. That's when life
really took a turn. What about the Atari 2600?
Yeah, we had the Atari. And Nintendo NES, man.
Nintendo came out first. Mario, Super Mario Brothers?
Yeah, I think I had Nintendo. And Mario World.
Yeah, Nintendo came out my, I think, either freshman
or sophomore year in college. I just remember
PlayStation being a game changer. I had Tomb
Raider. And it was like. Played that all the
time. And it was like the graphics were like
just game changing. And she's juggy. Oh, yeah.
They're kind of pixelated, but they're juggy.
Pixelated. Oh, that's good shit. Yeah. And the
wife would come in and be like, really? Or your
mom or whomever, girlfriend. Yeah, it had to
be. It had to be girlfriend. Look at that pixelated.
Man, those would stab you. Looked like the back
of a Chevy. Yeah. I remember playing that. I
remember being in the hotels and one of the guys,
my manager at the time, had a PlayStation. He
brought it down and had Tomb Raider. So I'd have
hours of just sitting there babysitting the meetings,
right? So if something went wrong, I'd run down
there. So I'd play this for hours on end getting
paid. Tomb Raider? Tomb Raider, yep. And then
you had, I mean, it was a huge solve all the
clues to get to the next level. So yeah, you,
I mean, we... You have to jump up the blocks.
What movie was this? I'm sorry, what job was
this? This was when I was in the hotels in the
director of AV. Oh, my God. Because you'd set
up the meetings, and then the meetings would
commence. And then you have to wait for either
something to go wrong, or they're done, then
you tear everything down. And you were playing
Tomb Raider. I played it for hours. I beat it.
Yeah, we beat it eventually. Shelly and I were
playing that together. So you'd sit up in the
office, and they'd walkie -talkie you if they
needed something? They had a walkie -talkie.
We had our own little office, so no one was in
there. Didn't have a key, so it was locked. So
I was in there by myself for hours. Were you
naked? I could have been. But I had to wear a
suit, tie, and everything, so that'd be pretty,
hold on, I'm nude, let me get my clothes back
on kind of a thing. Well, you don't say you're
nude. You say, hold on, I'm having some technical
difficulty. Do you ever show up at the hotel
after these functions would finish up, and they've
got all this leftover food? Oh, yeah. I ate very
well. I eat very well in the hotels. Yeah, because
at the conclusion of these events, they have
a buffet, and there's like so much. When you
were in a high -end place, right? Well, the Four
Seasons, yeah, they had high -end steaks and
stuff, but I think, Jeffrey, you worked at a
pretty decent hotel. I worked at a Doubletree.
It was nice back in the day. It was Doubletree
Lincoln Center. Their cookies were awesome. Oh,
yeah. I had tins of those just all over the place.
I remember getting a call from the food and beverage
manager. Food and beverage. Yeah, can you come
down to the food and beverage office real quick?
I go down there, and there's a spread of just
food. Lobster, Thermador, steaks. That was leftover.
Yeah. They ordered 200 of these, and 150 showed
up. Let's go. Yeah, we're enjoying ourselves
tonight. Nice. And it was top -notch. It was.
Lobster, crab. Oysters, everything. Oh, that's
crazy. Yeah, I ate very well. That's good stuff,
man. I gained a lot of weight when I worked at
the Four Seasons. I did, too. Could have been
the cookies. The cookies are awesome. It was
just everything. I mean, I worked at a place
called Byron's from Byron Nelson. It was only
open from like 11 to 1 .30. It was a lunchtime
only, and they had a buffet. They had a menu,
but most people just ate the buffet. Yeah. And
they always over. That's so hard to try to gauge
how much food to make. You always have to make
too much, always. Because you can't run out.
You can't run out. Well, a lot of the food they
would take - A lot of these were plated. Well,
for this particular one, it was buffet style.
But when the buffet time was over, the staff
got to eat. But then they'd take it over to the
hotel, because we were on the sports club side.
Because at the hotel, they had an employee cafeteria.
Then you really let it all out. Well, the cafeteria
would absorb all the surplus food. So, you know,
once it made past the other departments, it made
it into, you know, that way the other staff would
be able to all get all the food. It's all picked
over. It might be, but most of it was pretty
fresh. I mean, they had new containers, but I
remember, God bless, it was, I remember I pissed
off one of the chefs. Because they had chicken
enchiladas on a specific day on Tuesday. They'd
have chicken enchiladas. They have these big
old bins. And they were kind of a pain in the
ass to make. And I remember Chef Bruce, he was
like, sure hope they don't want any more chicken
enchiladas. And everyone wanted the chicken enchiladas.
And so I went back there and I was like, table
50 wants enchiladas. And they did not want enchiladas.
Oh, dude. You can get fired for that shit. But
I knew them. They were regulars. All right. And
so Bruce gets all huffy puffy. God. So he starts,
you know, and then he was like, I'm going to,
he went out to the table and, and I had of course
beamed out there real quick. And I just say,
Hey man, look, I just told the staff, I just
told the chef that you want an enchilada. So
if he comes out here, just kind of let him. Yeah.
And they were, they were cool. Cause they're
there every day. We knew him. We knew exactly.
One of the cool things about being at the Four
Seasons is that there's a lot of members that
show up. And part of the novelty of them being
there with their guests and their business colleagues
and business guests is that when we show up to
the table, we call them by their name and we
can anticipate what they drink. Like if they
drink a Diet Coke with lime, lemon, whatever,
doesn't matter, we already knew what they drank.
You know, we would say, what do you want? And
then a duck to die cook for you, Mr. Zerhon,
whatever it is. Right. That made them feel special.
It did. So it was kind of a cool thing. And,
yeah, so the chef, Bruce, comes out. And she
was like, oh, yeah, is it a big deal? And he's
like, oh, no, we'll make those enchiladas right
away for you. Just give me a little bit. And,
of course, we're all sitting in there just looking
at him like. And I know he feels like there's
something kind of, can I have something? And
we did. He did. I remember, shout out to Kyle
Miller. On the East Coast, he moved. Also, there's
one of the pastry chefs, one of the top in the
planet chefs, Randy Geeman, would prepare all
the desserts. Yeah, that stuff's good. Yeah,
and he would prepare it. So they weren't large
because it's buffet style, so they'd have these
small, tiny little cheesecakes, and he would
make them special. Every single one, they were
just like gourmet. Oh, it's crazy what some of
these hotels do. We had an executive chef who
would get a chainsaw and do ice sculptures. Oh,
yeah. So I remember going out there, and he'd
take it out into the loading dock. He'd have
this huge block of ice, and he'd start his chainsaw
up, and he'd do like a swan or something like
that. Dude. You know, so he was the executive
chef doing it. Nice. So these guys have skills,
man. Oh, yeah, they do. I mean, isn't there a
place that has a huge ice display? That's the
Gaylord. Gaylord, yeah. It's the Paul. No. Unprovoked.
Unprovoked. All right. How would that? Is that
a slam? It has to be a slam to be unprovoked.
Well, the Gaylord. I was like, Paul, Paul. Oh,
no, that doesn't work. Damn it. Yeah. Keep trying.
I will. One of these. We're doing the bourbon?
All right. I think we are. I think we are. Yes,
let's do this. How much time do we got? I don't
know. Oh, there we go. It's 8 o 'clock. Oh, we
got 12 minutes. Okay, good. That's good. Well,
this one's a good one. This is the one that you
brought from the advent calendar when you were
visiting Kentucky, right? Yeah. Yeah, this is
exactly right. This is a... Distillery only.
I don't know. Oh, there it is right there. It's
the Bardstown Bourbon Company small batch stave
finish bottle at 94 proof. Correct. So the proof
isn't, you know, where our normal stuff is. It's
five years. But it's a distillery only, and it's
actually signed by the distiller. Yeah, I see
that. It's tasty. He was nude, yes. He used his
penis. Oh, wow. It's really small writing. Put
the Sharpie up in the urethra? Oh, boy. Okay.
No, but this is a blend of four different bourbons.
Oh. It is 48 % of a Georgia bourbon. Yeah, it's
including an eight -year -old Georgia bourbon,
a five -year -old Bardstown bourbon, and a four
-year -old Green River bourbon, and a 12 -year
-old Kentucky bourbon. Outstanding. Well, it's
very good. Oh, it's from Heaven Hill? Oh, hold
on. What is that list? It's the same idea. They
just kind of guessed. They're guessing. It's
very good. It is good. I got to tell you, it
is good. I wanted to, well, I always want to
like these. I got to tell you, it tastes good,
but it stops. And I don't know. It doesn't have
a powerful finish. Yeah, it just. It starts off
and it's wonderful, but once it's gone out of
the mouth, there's no residual that kind of keeps
you, you know, it just makes you want to pour
another glass. I get a lot of maple syrup on
the nose. Yeah, I think the nose is really good.
It's very sweet on the nose. Very creamy vanilla.
Yeah, there's definitely some sweetness to this.
There's some vanillas, some cherries. You can
definitely taste the cherries. It's so light.
I mean, it's so fluffy, I guess is a good word.
Well, I think it still has a lot of flavor to
it. The finish isn't as long as what we usually
get, but for 94 proof, I'm impressed with how
much flavor it actually has. True. It's really
good. It's just solid. Very solid. I mean, nothing
spectacular, but I like it a lot. Yeah. It's
got legs. Yeah, I think it was another 10 proof.
I think it would do a lot for this. Yeah, it
had a little more flavor. Yeah. A little more
richness. Yeah. I finished mine. But this does
score pretty good. I mean, it's got the stave
in it, too, so it should be. Is there a stave
in it? Well, not in the bottle. Not like our
friends at Big Stick. Big Stick. Yeah, the stave
may have. Do they say what kind of stave they
threw in there? Does it say? Is it just an oak
of some sort? It just says batch stave finish.
Oh, go back up four to six weeks with the stave?
Is that what it is? That's what Maker's Mark
does. Okay. Oh, they're still guessing a bunch
of shit here. Yeah, they're kind of. They insert
up to 10 wooden staves. That's Maker's Mark.
Oh. Well, why would they say that if they don't
do this as well? It says, I imagine this bottle
is going to be its own thing. Well, who wrote
this? That's kind of a long -winded. Yeah, kind
of dumb. We won't go to this guy's website anymore.
Yeah, and he kind of slammed it a little bit
because of the things that y 'all have said.
It doesn't last, and it's a little fluffy. That's
okay, though. It's crushable. It is crushable.
I would agree with that. All right. All right,
let's grade this stuff. I mean, I could drink
this. This stuff is excellent for drinking. It
does have a little white pepper lingering still.
You know, it's long, a little caramel. I almost
taste like peanuts. Peanuts, Chuck. Chill. Ew.
Yeah, there could be. Yeah, there's a little
bit of nuttage in that. A little bit. All right,
I'm going to go with the 6 .9. 94 is what are
we going up against? I'm going to throw Michter's
10 out because that doesn't count. It's almost
too. That's too good. It blows the curve. It
does. It's way too far out there. Right. I think
I'm probably right there with you. I think for
the 94, I'm probably around a 7. Yeah. I'm going
to match a 7. Okay. Yeah. In fact, I'll go 7
.2. I think it's a little bit better. I really,
really like this. This is something that if you
don't want to get hammered and you have control,
you can pour a nice big fat drink of this and
just kind of sip it. You could probably knock
out a big old fat whiskey, drink it in about
an hour. Oh, yeah. You could sip this for quite
a while. Just pour yourself a couple fingers,
two, three fingers of this, and just sip out
it all night. Yeah. It's good. So this is considered
rare. Oh, really? On our collection here. On
the OnlyDrams? On the OnlyDrams, yes. You know
what? I need to post our OnlyDrams on Instagram.
Oh, that'd be good. That's a good idea. I'll
have to figure, see if I'm able to do that. You
can get a link. I've sent a link to somebody
before. Send it to Larry. Sharing and privacy.
Anyway, we'll look into it. All right. We're
good. Are we finishing on this or do we have
time for something else? How much time do we
have, Mr. Producer? Well, you wrote up there
bathroom etiquette. What is that referring to?
That, you know, I was just thinking of some of
the things that go on at my office that just
drive me. batshit crazy in the bathroom. Like,
number one, absolute number one rule in my book,
you can't talk on the phone. Number one. You
can't talk on the phone. When you're in the stall,
you cannot talk on the phone. It's weird. Yeah,
I think that is weird. It's stupid. It's rude.
And weird. Yeah. You don't do that, do you, Sean?
No. Because you look like you wanted to disagree.
No, no, no. Guys, I'm talking about in public,
of course. Yeah. I mean, look, even in the house.
I mean, you could tell when you're in the bathroom.
When Jeff's dropping a deuce, I know if he's
in the bathroom, you can hear the echo. Instantly.
You always seem to call as soon as I sit down.
I was like, well, I could wait and call him back
or just answer the damn thing. Yeah. And so he
answers. I don't care about your own home. And
he says, hello. And I was like, you're in the
bathroom, aren't you? Because he goes, hello.
But I agree. You know, I'll go into these restrooms
and he'll be at the urinal and he'll pull the
phone out and start looking at Instagram or whatever.
I'm like, you can't even urinate without doing
this? I think at the urinal, absolutely not looking
at your phone. Now, if you're looking at your
phone in the stall, who gives a shit? But don't
talk on the phone. is what I'm saying. So anyway,
the other things I was starting to think about
is like, what are the kind of the unwritten rules,
right? Let's say you're alone in a bathroom and
somebody walks in and you're in a stall. What's
the first, maybe just me or maybe I noticed what
other guys do. What's the first thing you do?
Well, before that, I mean, are you one of these
guys that's kind of nervous about sitting on
the stool? Like, are you wanting like privacy
or do you not care? Oh, for the longest time,
I'll be honest, the longest time I would not,
I would not go number two. In a public restroom.
I work. I would just wait until I got home. I
prefer to be by myself, but I have no problem
to shit. I prefer me being there by myself, and
when I'm done, I'm done. I just get up and leave.
A lot of it's the hunt for a free bathroom. I
mean free, I mean the ones in there. There are
a lot of times where I worked on a 12 -story
building and our office was on the 9th. Sometimes
I go up to the 10th floor. Sometimes I drop to
the 7th floor. To try to find one that's less
traveled. A little sweet spot. It's 2 o 'clock
in the afternoon. I've got a little routine working.
I go down there and I get my setup. I've got
my tablet there. I've got my earbuds. You make
a whole thing. A little charcuterie board. If
you need to go, number two, and you go into a
bathroom and there's only two stalls and one
of them is taken, do you do it anyway or do you
walk out and wait? It depends how bad it is.
Do you think it's going to be like a blowout?
It depends. If I can hold it, I'll be like, all
right, I'll wait or I'll go find another one.
I don't necessarily like to shit three inches
from some other dude. I get it. I get it. That's
the way I am. And I've gotten much better. I
mean, I told you, I used to wait until I got
home. Now I can go in the public bathroom. Even
if somebody's next to me and I have to go, I'll
go. Yeah, I could do it. It's not a preference,
but. It's all about preference, really. I think
what helps me is when I put the earbuds in, I'm
in my own little world. So at that point. How
long are you in there, though? Yeah. To require
earbuds. Like 45 minutes. TV shows. I'd say 15,
20 minutes. What? Why? That's bad. You get hemorrhoids.
I don't seem to have that problem. Not only that,
you start to stick to the seat. You get up and
it sticks and your toilet slams? Yeah, you're
like, I don't have that problem. All right, but
when you are on the toilet and somebody else
walks in, do you cough? Do you sniff? No, I try
to make a noise. There's a thing. I try to make
a noise. Guys do that. I don't do that. Yeah,
I do too. I go, you know. No, I try to save a
fart or something. So when they come in, I was
like. Oh, no, you don't. Wow, you have a very.
controllable... Is it anus? I guess it's the
anus. It's my sphincter. I have a question. I
don't know if anybody in here does this, but
I've noticed that some men go to the urinal and
spit first. That's gross. Why do they do that?
It's gross. I find it disgusting. I do too. Spit
in the urinal? I can't tell you why. It just
happens. Oh, you're a spitter in the urinal?
Really? That's gross. It's not on the urinal.
It's in. It's still gross. I don't know. I just
think the fumes are coming up, getting into that
spit. I don't know. I find it gross. Like I sucked
it back in? Yeah. Part of my luge? Yeah. I don't
know. And there's definitely unwritten rules
that when you're in a urinal and there's somebody
next to you in another urinal, mostly at a ballgame,
it's... It's eyes. Head up. Oh, yeah. You don't
go. We're not looking around. You don't make
conversation at the trough. You know what? At
ballgames, that can be a thing because you're
just laughing about something or whatever. That's
not a big deal, but it's eyes forward. You don't
smack his ass next to you. Hey, buddy. Don't
do that either. Yeah, you should search to see
if there's any kind of reasoning behind guys
urinating in urinals before they. piss in it
you mean spit or spit yes what did i say urinating
urinate in a urinal before urinating in it yeah
yeah what what is the mindset of that i don't
get it maybe it's like owning it oh it's generally
considered poor hygiene and is often associated
with a lack of respect for public spaces and
other users chuck See? Quit doing that, you uncivilized
savage. You uncivilized swine. All you urinal
spitters unite. It's not everybody, but it's
a lot of guys do it. Possible reasons, alcohol
and poor judgment. Nailed it. That's the primary
reason right there. It's like a Cincinnati brawl.
That's the prevailing theory, in my opinion.
Anyway, I just think it's funny because, you
know, I'll walk into the bathroom and I'll hear,
I mean, we have a small office. So you kind of
know who's in there. You kind of know. Yeah.
Well, definitely. Barry will like. Oh, I don't
hark. No, no, no. He'll snort. He does. And I'm
like, I feel like saying, yeah, Barry, I know
you're there. But it's really funny. So anyway,
I'll do I'll do like a cough or I don't do or
something. I don't you don't you don't alert
others that you're there. You don't tap your
foot. They see your feet. Don't they? Don't you?
Like it's your airport. Yeah. Like you're at
Minneapolis airport. All of this is dumb, but
I mean. Do you, when you go to the urinal sometimes,
do you see the people who like drop their drawers
to the floor? I've seen people do that. No. It's
like they just all the way down. Ouch. And then
they. Do the business, urinate, and then pull
them all the way back up. At the urinal. At the
urinal. At the urinal. And I have never seen
that ever. Is that what you do, Jeff? I've never
seen that. I've actually never seen that before.
I mean, outside of like a two -year -old child.
They're trying to show off their thong. I've
seen it a handful of times. I had a weird moment
where I walked in to use the urinal, and I look
over to the stall next to me, and the feet that
I can see are facing, they're facing the toilet.
Right? So he's obviously not sitting on the toilet.
And he's just facing the toilet. And the whole
time I peed, there was nothing going on. Well,
maybe he had a prostate issue. It was just weird.
Dude, I took a shit in the women's restroom without
knowing I was in the women's restroom. Have you
ever seen two sets of feet? No. In the stall.
You have not. And then you watch the couple leave
the bathroom and you're like, oh my God. You
have not. Yeah. In New Orleans. Oh my God. When
I sat in that bathroom and I heard women come
in and out. I heard them talk and I was fucking
mortified. Oh, you're like, they're either in
the wrong place or I'm in the wrong place. I
had no idea what I was going to do. There was
a stall to my left and there was a stall to my
right. So I just waited. I just waited. A long
time. Well, until like no one was there. Quick.
Oh, for sure. Well, once they all finished, I
was done. I sat on the toilet with my pants on,
ready to go at a moment's notice. And I remember
they left and I waited like 15 seconds. I opened
the door and I bolted the door and then the woman
walks in. And I mean, it was like, it's all cleaned
up now. And I just walked out. That's what you
said? Yeah. You're like, ma 'am, it's about to
be 24. You were groundbreaking before your time.
Oh, jeez. It was crazy. I remember I was eating
lunch in Austin with my brother, and then I pulled
the lid out the door and called him. Dude, I'm
out. Because we had finished our dinner anyways.
All right. All right. Well, this is the first
half of the Dudes Like Us podcast, July 29th.
Thank you, Mr. Chuck, for staying on top of stuff.
Shout out to Bardstown. We got a rare bottle.
It's good? Yeah, I enjoyed it. I'm about to finish
the rest of it. We'll see you guys in a few.
