WEBVTT

00:00:04.180 --> 00:00:07.360
It's very, very cool. So is this thing just called

00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:09.720
Starship? Correct. It'll have like a cool name

00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:13.599
like the Vulcan or... No. Well, I guess it's

00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:15.320
the Klingon or... I guess it's the SpaceX Starship.

00:00:15.619 --> 00:00:18.519
The booster is the Falcon Heavy. Falcon Heavy.

00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:20.960
That's cool, right? That's cool. So we're watching

00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:24.280
the... Just minutes ago, I guess less than an

00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:27.000
hour ago, it launched. It's 10th flight. Yeah.

00:00:27.339 --> 00:00:29.980
And it looks very successful compared to previous

00:00:29.980 --> 00:00:33.320
ones where it like blew up. Crazy shit happened.

00:00:33.420 --> 00:00:35.100
I mean, not long ago, it blew up on the pad.

00:00:36.299 --> 00:00:39.000
Right. Yeah. Inside that. They've had some setbacks.

00:00:39.020 --> 00:00:41.820
That chamber is pristine. I know. It's clean

00:00:41.820 --> 00:00:45.020
in there. Those little flying things, is that

00:00:45.020 --> 00:00:47.719
like frozen stuff? They're bugs. They're space

00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:51.979
fireflies. That's super cool, man. I love space

00:00:51.979 --> 00:00:53.479
stuff. Yeah, but I wonder what that is. What

00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:56.299
is that? I don't know. Is that space dust? Is

00:00:56.299 --> 00:00:59.009
there such a thing? I have no idea what those

00:00:59.009 --> 00:01:00.890
are. In the vacuum of space? Oh, is it open to

00:01:00.890 --> 00:01:03.670
space right now? Yes, it is. Okay. Yeah, it is.

00:01:03.810 --> 00:01:05.170
Oh, yeah, there's all kinds of shit flying around

00:01:05.170 --> 00:01:07.250
there. Yeah, they opened up the bay doors and

00:01:07.250 --> 00:01:08.909
they're showing us the inside. You would think

00:01:08.909 --> 00:01:12.670
that it's not going to hang around. I mean...

00:01:12.670 --> 00:01:14.590
They're like moths or something. Yeah, I think

00:01:14.590 --> 00:01:16.829
they're bugs. Yeah. They're attracted to the

00:01:16.829 --> 00:01:18.750
light. Yeah, exactly. Like the street lamp. What,

00:01:18.790 --> 00:01:20.090
you don't think there's moths in space? What

00:01:20.090 --> 00:01:25.090
are you, stupid? Space moths. Come on, man. All

00:01:25.090 --> 00:01:26.730
right, well, here we are. We're on a good streak

00:01:26.730 --> 00:01:30.530
lately. No one's been on vacation and everyone's

00:01:30.530 --> 00:01:33.969
healthy. Summer's winding down. Is it though?

00:01:34.689 --> 00:01:36.650
Somebody told me that there's two days left of

00:01:36.650 --> 00:01:38.689
summer. That's not true, right? First day was

00:01:38.689 --> 00:01:42.090
June 21st -ish, right around there. So it should

00:01:42.090 --> 00:01:46.010
be in September. I would have thought so. Yeah,

00:01:46.030 --> 00:01:47.689
I don't know who told me that, but I was like,

00:01:47.769 --> 00:01:49.930
man, that seems early. Well, let's see in August.

00:01:49.969 --> 00:01:52.049
August 26th, the first half of the Dudes Like

00:01:52.049 --> 00:01:53.950
Us podcast. We have everyone here. Producer,

00:01:54.129 --> 00:01:56.390
Mr. Chuck. I'm Sean. I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff.

00:01:56.489 --> 00:01:58.689
And we are Dudes Like Us. We're ready to rock

00:01:58.689 --> 00:02:01.709
this thing. We got a jam -packed, action -filled,

00:02:01.909 --> 00:02:04.689
all kinds of wonderful, cool things. Fantastic

00:02:04.689 --> 00:02:06.750
whiskey. Pulled it right out of Jeff's advent

00:02:06.750 --> 00:02:09.150
calendar. Oh, yeah, that is good, isn't it? Oh,

00:02:09.169 --> 00:02:12.189
this is a new one right here? Yeah. Oh, okay.

00:02:12.229 --> 00:02:14.990
This is a special. Distillery only. Even though

00:02:14.990 --> 00:02:16.969
it's in a very familiar bottle. Very familiar.

00:02:17.650 --> 00:02:20.009
It's a distillery only. Wow. I can't wait to...

00:02:20.009 --> 00:02:21.810
That's what they say at the time it was. Yeah,

00:02:21.830 --> 00:02:23.789
we're going to share this later in the podcast,

00:02:23.930 --> 00:02:25.689
but it's... Well, you said the same thing about

00:02:25.689 --> 00:02:28.150
the Smoke Eye Hill. And then it was, I spent

00:02:28.150 --> 00:02:30.169
$500 on the bottle, and then it was everywhere

00:02:30.169 --> 00:02:34.370
for a nickel. I didn't say that was distillery.

00:02:34.449 --> 00:02:38.090
I said that was very... You couldn't find it

00:02:38.090 --> 00:02:39.530
down here. It doesn't matter. And then all of

00:02:39.530 --> 00:02:42.310
a sudden, it was at Specs. Yeah. I was like,

00:02:42.330 --> 00:02:44.030
damn it. Dude, you're not going to believe this.

00:02:44.090 --> 00:02:46.330
This is like a unicorn. But you know what's crazy

00:02:46.330 --> 00:02:51.370
regarding that Smoke Eye Hill? It tasted a couple

00:02:51.370 --> 00:02:54.169
notches better, the one that you brought in.

00:02:54.270 --> 00:02:57.750
So I don't know if it was the - Are those single

00:02:57.750 --> 00:02:59.689
barrels? It should be the same. Yeah, I know

00:02:59.689 --> 00:03:01.810
every barrel's different. If it's a single barrel,

00:03:01.870 --> 00:03:04.210
yes, it was. But I mean, should it be that big

00:03:04.210 --> 00:03:06.650
of a variance? Well, you got the clearance. I

00:03:06.650 --> 00:03:10.210
guess so. Yeah, the stuff that people like. They

00:03:10.210 --> 00:03:13.560
were rushing out the door. Yeah. We're pulling

00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:15.900
up there. Is that our bill? That's our bill.

00:03:16.580 --> 00:03:20.300
So we've had the other larrikin. God damn. And

00:03:20.300 --> 00:03:22.819
there's the wild turkey. Add another. Uh -oh.

00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:26.800
Did you just spill it? What? You spilled the

00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:31.919
beans on what we're drinking. No, I said we drank

00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.860
the larrikin. Damn you, Jeff. I'll edit that

00:03:35.860 --> 00:03:41.930
out. All right, let's move on. All right, so

00:03:41.930 --> 00:03:44.330
what is it about this that makes this so significant,

00:03:44.490 --> 00:03:46.770
this latest launch by SpaceX? They were testing

00:03:46.770 --> 00:03:49.270
out what, the engines? Well, the whole flight,

00:03:49.449 --> 00:03:51.870
right? I mean, with every launch, they're getting

00:03:51.870 --> 00:03:54.009
a little bit further with the largest rocket

00:03:54.009 --> 00:03:55.849
in human history, right? They're trying to go

00:03:55.849 --> 00:03:58.789
to what, ultimately Mars? The moon, I believe,

00:03:58.830 --> 00:04:00.129
is first. The moon first. The moon first and

00:04:00.129 --> 00:04:02.069
Mars, yeah. Yeah, we're returning to the moon.

00:04:02.210 --> 00:04:04.789
This one, they actually dispatched some payload

00:04:04.789 --> 00:04:07.990
along the way, right? What kind of payload? I

00:04:07.990 --> 00:04:09.629
think they were starving. Oreo cookies? Yeah.

00:04:10.449 --> 00:04:13.370
Some NECA wafers. Nutter butter peanut butter

00:04:13.370 --> 00:04:17.410
cookies. Some landfill. Some Starlink panels,

00:04:17.610 --> 00:04:20.209
I believe. Oh, yeah. All right. So some Starlink

00:04:20.209 --> 00:04:22.509
panels. Is that for some future endeavor of doing

00:04:22.509 --> 00:04:24.610
some repairs up there? Are they just going to

00:04:24.610 --> 00:04:25.730
float around up there for a while? Yeah, they're

00:04:25.730 --> 00:04:28.129
going to float around. I don't know. They're

00:04:28.129 --> 00:04:30.290
just going to, like, orbit? Like a satellite,

00:04:30.410 --> 00:04:32.750
you know? You've seen the Starlink chains that

00:04:32.750 --> 00:04:35.089
are up there, right? That go, they're, like,

00:04:35.170 --> 00:04:38.439
everywhere. Yes. Yeah. A thousand of them. They're

00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:41.939
like those drone umbilicals, fiber optic cables

00:04:41.939 --> 00:04:44.160
from Ukraine, just everywhere over there. All

00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.600
over the border, yeah. Well, that is a mess.

00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.639
What kind of chains are you referring to? I just

00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:51.899
meant chain of satellites. Satellites. Oh, okay.

00:04:52.100 --> 00:04:53.740
There's thousands of them. I remember when they

00:04:53.740 --> 00:04:56.079
first released all of those, there was an uproar

00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.079
from all the, from the, you know, like the amateur

00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:03.540
and professional, you know, not planetariums,

00:05:03.540 --> 00:05:06.389
what do you call the? You know, stargazers, whatever

00:05:06.389 --> 00:05:10.009
they're called, because it totally messes up

00:05:10.009 --> 00:05:12.829
their view of things. Yes, because there's so

00:05:12.829 --> 00:05:15.889
many low, low satellite or low altitude satellites

00:05:15.889 --> 00:05:18.509
that it causes distortion and blah, blah, blah.

00:05:18.629 --> 00:05:20.829
Well, you get this thing that passes over their

00:05:20.829 --> 00:05:22.149
lens. They're thinking, oh, my God, that's a

00:05:22.149 --> 00:05:24.069
UFO. And they're like, God dang it. It's another

00:05:24.069 --> 00:05:27.769
satellite. Have you ever been out where it's

00:05:27.769 --> 00:05:30.050
so dark, there's no lights, no cities or anything,

00:05:30.149 --> 00:05:32.370
and you can look up and you can actually see

00:05:32.370 --> 00:05:35.250
the satellite? Oh, yeah. With your eyes. Yeah.

00:05:35.750 --> 00:05:38.829
Just a little dot quickly going across the sky.

00:05:38.990 --> 00:05:41.350
Yeah. You can definitely spot them. Yeah, it's

00:05:41.350 --> 00:05:44.470
kind of cute. It is kind of cool. Anyway, so

00:05:44.470 --> 00:05:49.610
this is a big step to go back to the moon. Do

00:05:49.610 --> 00:05:51.850
you know they want to put a nuclear reactor on

00:05:51.850 --> 00:05:54.889
the moon? Yes. Yes. So then there's that. And

00:05:54.889 --> 00:05:57.910
then, yeah, and then on to Mars from there. So

00:05:57.910 --> 00:05:59.490
we'll see how that goes. It doesn't make any

00:05:59.490 --> 00:06:02.269
sense. You know, I'm thinking, and I've said

00:06:02.269 --> 00:06:04.910
this before, Be doing stuff like that up there.

00:06:05.430 --> 00:06:07.189
Well, I mean, if you're going to make that trip,

00:06:07.250 --> 00:06:10.189
you need energy. If you're going to build a base

00:06:10.189 --> 00:06:14.230
up there, you need energy. Yeah, I know. Start

00:06:14.230 --> 00:06:18.750
terraforming. That'd be kind of cool. Again,

00:06:19.110 --> 00:06:21.790
I think that the reason why Earth is the way

00:06:21.790 --> 00:06:25.290
we are is because of the moon. It's that oscillating,

00:06:25.370 --> 00:06:30.750
reciprocating, the power, the magnetic pull that

00:06:30.750 --> 00:06:34.120
occurs every single day. that creates that magnetism

00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.759
that makes life happen. You know, the waves.

00:06:38.060 --> 00:06:40.199
You're worried that we're going to kind of mess

00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:42.740
with the moon and mess up that balance? I don't

00:06:42.740 --> 00:06:44.120
think there's anything we can do. I mean, it's

00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:45.540
not like we're detonating atom bombs up there.

00:06:45.740 --> 00:06:48.199
The thing is that we don't know. I don't know.

00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:50.939
Well, we continue to dig and tear up the earth.

00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:52.379
That's changing the mass. I think that's a little

00:06:52.379 --> 00:06:55.060
bit different. I mean, if you look at it, it's

00:06:55.060 --> 00:06:57.000
minuscule from what we're doing here on earth.

00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:58.639
Yeah, but the moon is still extremely large.

00:06:59.420 --> 00:07:02.269
It's true. And it may be. Absolutely off the

00:07:02.269 --> 00:07:04.629
target by me even saying that, but that is a

00:07:04.629 --> 00:07:06.449
concern that I have, especially if you put a

00:07:06.449 --> 00:07:09.170
nuclear reactor up there and something goes bad.

00:07:09.470 --> 00:07:11.569
Well, they've also had the humongous asteroids

00:07:11.569 --> 00:07:14.889
hit it continually for millions of years. That's

00:07:14.889 --> 00:07:17.189
true. They had these huge craters, which is probably

00:07:17.189 --> 00:07:19.569
bigger than any nuclear explosion that could

00:07:19.569 --> 00:07:21.470
happen up there. That's a good point, though.

00:07:21.490 --> 00:07:23.790
If it were to get hit by a significant asteroid,

00:07:24.050 --> 00:07:28.230
I don't know how it wouldn't impact. Well, it's

00:07:28.230 --> 00:07:30.490
got huge craters up there. Oh, no, it has happened.

00:07:30.610 --> 00:07:32.769
Yeah, it's happened. No question. But you have

00:07:32.769 --> 00:07:34.350
nothing in iron. I guess if something big enough

00:07:34.350 --> 00:07:35.170
hit it, it could be problematic. Well, we have

00:07:35.170 --> 00:07:38.430
to have those lasers that will shoot them down

00:07:38.430 --> 00:07:40.350
as they're coming up. Yeah, or Bruce Willis.

00:07:40.350 --> 00:07:42.949
Oh, yeah. Bruce Willis can go up there. Armageddon.

00:07:42.949 --> 00:07:45.069
Yeah, yeah. Because, you know, they have totally

00:07:45.069 --> 00:07:47.990
that plan put together. What are they, Iron Dome

00:07:47.990 --> 00:07:52.769
right over the moon? Just so you know. In like.

00:07:53.019 --> 00:07:56.019
Six months from now, they find something hurtling

00:07:56.019 --> 00:08:01.259
towards Earth. We're fucked. There's no Armageddon.

00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:04.160
There's no Deep Space or Deep Nine or what is

00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:07.459
it? Deep Strike? Ooh. That's your chair, right?

00:08:07.620 --> 00:08:11.100
No, that's the Deep Strike machine. See? No,

00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:12.819
what is it? What is it called? It's called Deep

00:08:12.819 --> 00:08:15.519
Strike, right? Deep Impact? Deep Impact. Deep

00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:18.120
Impact. Or is that your chair? It's not my chair.

00:08:18.939 --> 00:08:21.199
Is that the one that takes the big old batteries?

00:08:21.820 --> 00:08:25.459
No, no. Anyway, I don't think we have the technology,

00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:28.379
know -how, or anything to really make a difference.

00:08:28.420 --> 00:08:30.360
No. Anything hurtling at us. I think they're

00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:32.580
thinking about it. We don't have anything big

00:08:32.580 --> 00:08:34.179
enough. The biggest thing we could do is shoot

00:08:34.179 --> 00:08:36.720
a scud at it or some sort of nuclear weapon at

00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:39.820
it. And even if that, we may hit it, but it may

00:08:39.820 --> 00:08:42.919
do nothing. Well, that's what the problem they

00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:46.860
had. Well, granted, it's Armageddon and what

00:08:46.860 --> 00:08:49.580
it is. But they actually had to land on it, drill,

00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.690
put the... But the bomb deep down, of course,

00:08:52.690 --> 00:08:54.370
Bruce Willis was the last one up there who had

00:08:54.370 --> 00:08:57.370
actually manually exploded. But, you know, I

00:08:57.370 --> 00:09:00.269
would have thought it's absolutely just a ludicrous

00:09:00.269 --> 00:09:02.870
idea to even land on it. But we have landed something

00:09:02.870 --> 00:09:06.169
on an asteroid. Yeah. Didn't we land a probe

00:09:06.169 --> 00:09:08.870
on an asteroid? I don't know. I believe that

00:09:08.870 --> 00:09:11.690
was Uranus. No, it was not my anus. Why are you

00:09:11.690 --> 00:09:17.389
afraid of Uranus? It was great. Probe on my anus.

00:09:17.389 --> 00:09:21.409
Thanks a lot. In Uranus. Oh, perfect. Yeah. I

00:09:21.409 --> 00:09:25.190
actually think we have landed a probe on either

00:09:25.190 --> 00:09:28.429
a comet or an asteroid. Unmanned, of course.

00:09:29.289 --> 00:09:32.289
Unmanned probe. Look that up, Mr. Producer. I

00:09:32.289 --> 00:09:35.710
think NASA's done that. 2001. There you go. The

00:09:35.710 --> 00:09:37.610
first spacecraft landing on an asteroid occurred

00:09:37.610 --> 00:09:41.470
on February 12, 2001, when NASA near Shoemaker,

00:09:41.710 --> 00:09:45.990
Shoemaker, Shoemaker, Shoemaker, Shoemaker, spacecraft

00:09:45.990 --> 00:09:50.220
made a soft touchdown on the near Earth. Near

00:09:50.220 --> 00:09:55.000
-Earth asteroid 433 Eros. Interesting. I'm curious

00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:58.019
if it was a landing or if it was a soft impact.

00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:02.419
Or just hit it. Bam! That's successful. Fucking

00:10:02.419 --> 00:10:05.080
good enough. And then there was another mission

00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:08.139
where they were coming up on something, like

00:10:08.139 --> 00:10:10.820
an asteroid or a comet, and then this thing,

00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:14.620
you blasted off the probe to take pictures, and

00:10:14.620 --> 00:10:17.240
they deliberately smashed into it. Remember that?

00:10:17.529 --> 00:10:19.570
It was a deliberate impact so that they could

00:10:19.570 --> 00:10:23.129
measure what came out of it. Yes. And this thing

00:10:23.129 --> 00:10:25.009
came out to take pictures of it and shit. Dude,

00:10:25.070 --> 00:10:27.149
NASA's pulled off some amazing shit. So maybe

00:10:27.149 --> 00:10:30.090
I'm not giving them enough credit. Maybe they

00:10:30.090 --> 00:10:34.629
do have a secret plan for the planet killer.

00:10:34.850 --> 00:10:36.590
Yeah, to make a massive net around the Earth.

00:10:36.830 --> 00:10:40.549
Yes. And just make something bounce off. Or a

00:10:40.549 --> 00:10:42.750
force field. A force field. I like it. Oh, you

00:10:42.750 --> 00:10:45.769
know what? I know what's going to happen. Ooh.

00:10:46.009 --> 00:10:50.169
Uh -oh. I think the pyramids will start. I knew

00:10:50.169 --> 00:10:52.289
it. I knew it had something to do with it. That

00:10:52.289 --> 00:10:54.549
generator below the pyramids is going to start.

00:10:54.669 --> 00:10:57.009
It's going to be a big beam. It's going to come

00:10:57.009 --> 00:11:00.649
out and form. Just like the Luxor in Las Vegas?

00:11:00.909 --> 00:11:03.029
Yes. It's like the fifth element. You guys seen

00:11:03.029 --> 00:11:04.529
the fifth element of Bruce Willis? Another Bruce

00:11:04.529 --> 00:11:08.529
Willis movie. Lilo Dallas Multipass. Yes. And

00:11:08.529 --> 00:11:11.210
then what? The Easter Island thing become Crystal

00:11:11.210 --> 00:11:14.240
Skulls? Yeah, those are big crystal skulls, man.

00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:16.159
I think Bruce Willis was on or something, so

00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.940
the government took his memories. So he knows,

00:11:19.100 --> 00:11:20.220
so now he can't do anything about it. They're

00:11:20.220 --> 00:11:22.360
like, it's too uncanny. It's sad what's happened

00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:25.639
to Bruce. It is. It is sad. It is. You know,

00:11:25.740 --> 00:11:27.820
you've seen some pictures lately, and he's kind

00:11:27.820 --> 00:11:30.059
of like, you know, five -second memory kind of

00:11:30.059 --> 00:11:32.360
thing. He can't remember anything. Yeah, I was

00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.100
reading an article about that just today. His

00:11:35.100 --> 00:11:37.899
wife was talking about the very first signs that

00:11:37.899 --> 00:11:40.299
she was noticing about his deteriorating condition.

00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:43.580
you know led them to go to the doctor right and

00:11:43.580 --> 00:11:47.159
he's apparently a very super social guy super

00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:49.759
engaged very boisterous you know always what

00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:52.759
does he have messing with everybody aphasia aphasia

00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.580
yeah and form of uh dementia and said he just

00:11:56.580 --> 00:12:00.840
started becoming quiet and withdrawn and just

00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.799
not just kind of there right you know what i

00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:06.080
mean it wasn't so much you know fuck where are

00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:08.440
my keys or you know blah blah blah he just kind

00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.659
of started disengaging And she was like, what's

00:12:11.659 --> 00:12:15.399
up with you, you know? Right. And, yeah, pretty

00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:18.879
sad, sad. I mean, what was he, 60? Oh, he's older

00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:20.899
than that. I know, but when he first got diagnosed.

00:12:20.899 --> 00:12:23.620
Yeah, probably. That was three years ago. Oh,

00:12:23.620 --> 00:12:26.820
it was more than that, wasn't it? Oh, he was

00:12:26.820 --> 00:12:30.220
initially diagnosed with aphasia in 2022. Yeah,

00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.500
how. Well, diagnosed, but. Yeah, but how long

00:12:33.500 --> 00:12:35.500
did he have it, right? I mean, and that's something

00:12:35.500 --> 00:12:37.639
that's difficult for doctors. Okay, so he's 70

00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:43.000
now. So in his mid -60s, yeah. It started happening

00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:45.960
in his mid -60s. We don't have much time left,

00:12:46.059 --> 00:12:49.779
guys. We don't. Yeah, we better reach more listeners.

00:12:50.340 --> 00:12:53.379
70, that's 14 years. We only got 14 years to

00:12:53.379 --> 00:12:55.340
get to Mars. And share our Dudes Like Us story

00:12:55.340 --> 00:12:57.100
because we're running out of time here. Yes.

00:12:57.220 --> 00:12:59.720
Well, I'm having a good time doing it. Me too.

00:12:59.820 --> 00:13:01.299
So you know what? It doesn't matter. I mean,

00:13:01.299 --> 00:13:04.679
very much as much as I'd like for us to make

00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:08.159
this a huge success. You guys are my world. You're

00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:16.059
my world, you're every breath I take. You're

00:13:16.059 --> 00:13:23.159
my world, you're every move I make. No homo.

00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:26.179
You can't quit us. Stop it. I can't quit you.

00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:28.980
You can't quit us. This podcast is great. It's

00:13:28.980 --> 00:13:33.100
a great Tuesday night excursion. Yeah. You know,

00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:36.669
we get to sample great whiskeys. It's a little

00:13:36.669 --> 00:13:38.610
different from when we first started because

00:13:38.610 --> 00:13:40.889
it was an opportunity to get a little shitty.

00:13:41.649 --> 00:13:45.590
Yeah. Well, now we're more mature. No. More responsible.

00:13:45.929 --> 00:13:48.070
Maybe a little bit more responsible. We're definitely

00:13:48.070 --> 00:13:51.169
not more mature. No. The maturity did not come.

00:13:51.370 --> 00:13:54.830
No. It didn't. It didn't. We're men and we stay

00:13:54.830 --> 00:13:57.529
children forever. And I hope I do. I really do.

00:13:57.629 --> 00:13:59.570
Speaking of men and the things that men like,

00:13:59.690 --> 00:14:02.620
did you see Taylor Swift got engaged? Oh, yes.

00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:04.759
I know you two are fangirling all over the place.

00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:07.059
Oh, man. I have been waiting with bated breath.

00:14:07.220 --> 00:14:09.679
Dude, I broke out in a line dance. You would

00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:11.799
never. Paul was fully erect earlier talking about

00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:13.779
it. Were you really? Why were you erect? I thought

00:14:13.779 --> 00:14:18.399
you were sobbing. No. Kelsey, no. I've been following

00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.480
this, and I was like, Travis, say yes. Travis,

00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:23.080
say yes. I wonder who asked. Well, that's my

00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:26.059
point. He got on his knee. Oh, did he? And he

00:14:26.059 --> 00:14:30.299
gave her a ring that was larger than his Super

00:14:30.299 --> 00:14:34.350
Bowl ring. Wow. Did he measure one of his nuts?

00:14:34.409 --> 00:14:36.409
It needs to be at least the size of a nut. There

00:14:36.409 --> 00:14:37.950
you go. Actually, that's not that big. Not that

00:14:37.950 --> 00:14:41.230
big. Come on, Travis. I mean, you're dating a

00:14:41.230 --> 00:14:45.009
billion -dollar girl. That was probably $100

00:14:45.009 --> 00:14:48.970
,000 right there. Oh, easy. Easy. Easy. You know

00:14:48.970 --> 00:14:51.809
what? I don't even care. You know what? I don't

00:14:51.809 --> 00:14:54.549
give a shit about them. I mean, I'm happy for

00:14:54.549 --> 00:14:57.250
them. But they're no better than anybody else.

00:14:57.429 --> 00:15:00.210
I mean, it's just good for them. I'm just sad

00:15:00.210 --> 00:15:02.629
because he's marrying her for her money. That's

00:15:02.629 --> 00:15:07.730
it. It's kind of like Jennifer Aniston and Brad

00:15:07.730 --> 00:15:13.710
Pitt. I'm over it. I'm over celebrity stuff.

00:15:13.950 --> 00:15:15.909
You know, just show me your tits and move on.

00:15:15.950 --> 00:15:17.750
I don't care. Oh, yeah. Wow. Well, you know,

00:15:17.750 --> 00:15:20.169
I never understood the fascination that some

00:15:20.169 --> 00:15:23.009
people have with the celebrities. I don't mean

00:15:23.009 --> 00:15:25.289
necessarily take your shirt off. It's just like

00:15:25.289 --> 00:15:28.250
stay in your lane. Do your acting. Do your shows.

00:15:28.289 --> 00:15:30.629
Do your dancing. Play your football. Do your

00:15:30.629 --> 00:15:33.000
song and dance. And move on. I don't want to

00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:36.159
hear about your politics. I don't want to hear

00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:38.240
about any of that stuff. Just have fun with life.

00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:39.899
I'm happy they're getting married. I'm happy

00:15:39.899 --> 00:15:43.139
they're happy. Just shut up. So were you about

00:15:43.139 --> 00:15:45.240
to say, Jeff, you watched the entire thing live?

00:15:45.419 --> 00:15:50.720
I did. I was nude. And nude. You were on the

00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:56.179
bus. Well, you know. Hold on. Hold on a second.

00:15:57.220 --> 00:15:58.840
Okay, we're good. No, what I was going to say

00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:01.919
is I don't understand the fascination that People

00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:06.120
have, mainly women, not all women, but have with

00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:09.200
the celebrity. And the royals are another thing

00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:11.340
I don't quite understand. It's because they're

00:16:11.340 --> 00:16:15.659
loaded. Anybody that has just wealth like that,

00:16:15.820 --> 00:16:18.620
everyone envies that. Is that what it is? You

00:16:18.620 --> 00:16:21.139
think it's envy? It's got to be. I don't know

00:16:21.139 --> 00:16:26.000
if it's envy. I think it's an infatuation. Here's

00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:29.639
my take. Look at the obsession that this country

00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:33.200
has with reality TV. Right. It's all an escape.

00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:35.919
It's just an escape. They like to talk about

00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:38.000
the royals. They like to talk about the drama

00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:40.419
with the celebrities and the exciting marriages

00:16:40.419 --> 00:16:42.639
of the celebrities and all the reality bullshit

00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:46.039
shows. It's an escape. It's all an escape. Everybody's

00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:49.899
got drab jobs and, you know, they're, you know,

00:16:49.899 --> 00:16:51.960
they're just kind of droning through life. Not

00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:54.059
everybody, but, but you know what I'm saying?

00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:56.519
I'm just saying in general. I'm just saying in

00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:58.659
general. People are just droning through life,

00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:00.720
and this stuff is kind of fun. No, I get it.

00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:02.279
It's kind of fun to talk about. No, it's not.

00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:04.839
Not for us. Yes. Because we're dudes like us.

00:17:05.140 --> 00:17:08.980
That's right. If it was two dudes, we'd be into

00:17:08.980 --> 00:17:11.660
it. Oh, yeah. Because we're dudes. Oh, yeah.

00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:16.339
Brokeback. Like Siskel and Ebert? Yes. Yes. Seeing

00:17:16.339 --> 00:17:18.500
two burly men staring at each other's eyes during

00:17:18.500 --> 00:17:19.460
their engagement. Who are the circus guys? The

00:17:19.460 --> 00:17:21.119
clown guys. Not the clown guys. The lying guys.

00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:23.039
The guys that had the Las Vegas show forever.

00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:24.579
One of them got attacked by a lion. Yeah, one

00:17:24.579 --> 00:17:26.940
of them got eaten, right? Did he die? Ultimately.

00:17:26.940 --> 00:17:29.079
No, he just got bald. Siegfried and Roy. Yeah,

00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:30.660
Siegfried and Roy. There you go. Well, you know,

00:17:30.700 --> 00:17:33.519
Siskel and Ebert, that was a TV show that, as

00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:35.819
a family, we would sit down and watch every Sunday.

00:17:36.299 --> 00:17:38.500
Sneak preview. Yeah. You could see the new movies

00:17:38.500 --> 00:17:39.799
coming up. Reviews of the new movies. And they

00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:41.660
showed three movies, and that's how you would

00:17:41.660 --> 00:17:42.980
see something, because you didn't have the internet

00:17:42.980 --> 00:17:44.720
back then. So you're like, oh, they're going

00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:46.519
to review this movie, this movie, and this movie.

00:17:46.619 --> 00:17:48.140
Oh, I've got to watch that. And you get all excited.

00:17:48.140 --> 00:17:50.220
Oh, it's the new Superman. It's the middle of

00:17:50.220 --> 00:17:51.880
a horror. And that was the whole thumbs up, two

00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:54.079
thumbs up, one thumbs up, one thumb down. Exactly.

00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:58.700
Yep. Okay. And then I think it, and then one

00:17:58.700 --> 00:18:01.160
of them got like throat cancer. I think Roger

00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:03.720
Ebert did. And he had like his lower jaw removed

00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:06.759
and all kinds of crazy shit and ultimately passed

00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:11.799
away. But he had his. I think he worked in Chicago.

00:18:11.980 --> 00:18:15.380
I think maybe both of them did. Oh, yeah. Different

00:18:15.380 --> 00:18:19.400
Chicago newspaper. Yeah, they're one. I think

00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:24.660
Roger Ebert is a, I don't want to say a company,

00:18:24.740 --> 00:18:27.079
but an entity that is still being used today

00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:31.599
for movie reviews. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. The surviving

00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:34.680
one is still, yeah, he's still referenced for

00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:38.960
sure. Siskel? Yeah. It's a little different now,

00:18:39.019 --> 00:18:42.319
though. You know, the whole industry is just

00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:43.519
different. Oh, there we go. Yeah, he had his

00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:45.960
jaw removed. He doesn't look good. Poor guy.

00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:49.880
Yeah. Yeah. Well, he passed away a few years

00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:54.720
ago. So, 2013. Yeah, 12 years ago. Yeah, that's

00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:58.200
sad. Thyroid cancer. Thyroid cancer. Wow, that's

00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:00.720
tough, because thyroid cancer is one of those,

00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:03.940
if you catch it early enough, they can... Yeah,

00:19:03.980 --> 00:19:05.460
you can recover. I don't want to say cure, but

00:19:05.460 --> 00:19:07.420
yeah, recover, because they remove your thyroid.

00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:11.230
Yeah. Right? They are both no longer with us.

00:19:11.490 --> 00:19:15.390
Oh, geez, that's got a brain tumor. In 99. Geez.

00:19:15.609 --> 00:19:16.990
That was a long time ago. They're both gone.

00:19:17.089 --> 00:19:19.309
Maybe it was all that popcorn and that fake butter.

00:19:19.529 --> 00:19:24.289
Aged 53 years old. Wow. Is that accurate? Hold

00:19:24.289 --> 00:19:26.910
on. He died from complications from surgery to

00:19:26.910 --> 00:19:31.349
remove brain tumor in Illinois, aged 53. So at

00:19:31.349 --> 00:19:35.440
53 years old. So you're older than him. We. Oh,

00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:36.839
yeah, we all are. And you're saying that's the

00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:38.799
guy that had the fibroid cancer and then he died

00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:41.019
of a brain tumor? No, the bald guy had the brain

00:19:41.019 --> 00:19:44.220
cancer. He died first. Correct. Ah, I saw that

00:19:44.220 --> 00:19:47.039
movie Popcorn. So that picture right there is

00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:48.980
the other surviving guy? No, he's not surviving.

00:19:48.980 --> 00:19:51.680
He's dead, too. Right, but I mean... He lived

00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:54.140
another 14 years? Yeah, another 14 years. God,

00:19:54.220 --> 00:19:56.140
they both look horrible. That's awful. Well,

00:19:56.180 --> 00:19:58.539
when you remove a jaw... I know, I know. What

00:19:58.539 --> 00:20:00.339
do you look like? I'm not making fun. I feel

00:20:00.339 --> 00:20:03.099
bad for them. Just need to be thankful, and I

00:20:03.099 --> 00:20:06.710
know I am. I'm pretty thankful. You know, there's

00:20:06.710 --> 00:20:09.390
a, Tara just had a, my wife just had a procedure.

00:20:10.130 --> 00:20:13.490
Is she home yet? She's on her way home now, I

00:20:13.490 --> 00:20:15.890
believe. The kids, Emily went to go pick her

00:20:15.890 --> 00:20:19.690
up with Madeline. They're going to head home.

00:20:19.750 --> 00:20:24.309
They're going to go by Luby's. Look, there's

00:20:24.309 --> 00:20:27.619
just a compilation of just. bad decisions. What's

00:20:27.619 --> 00:20:29.059
wrong with lubies? Look, there's nothing wrong

00:20:29.059 --> 00:20:31.019
with lubies. Get the Luann platter. It's not

00:20:31.019 --> 00:20:33.880
lubies. Come on. It's all you can eat. Look,

00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:37.019
Tara, my wife, my beautiful, lovely, sweet wife,

00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:41.700
had surgery on her foot to remove this thing.

00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:43.960
It's a fibroid, right? Yeah, whatever it is.

00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:46.819
It's a planter's fibromyrose or something like

00:20:46.819 --> 00:20:49.720
that. Correct. Really close. I don't know what

00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:53.480
the heck it is, but it was removed in November

00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:59.140
and She, it was right before Thanksgiving. She

00:20:59.140 --> 00:21:01.839
didn't respect the doctor's orders. She was up,

00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:04.119
she was making Thanksgiving dinner. She was,

00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:06.759
you know, walking on it and it would hurt. And

00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:10.579
she wasn't following the doctor's orders. And

00:21:10.579 --> 00:21:13.559
it's just like, you know, she has time. The surgery

00:21:13.559 --> 00:21:17.779
occurred on Friday. And, you know, she spent

00:21:17.779 --> 00:21:19.859
two days, you know, she's already walking upstairs.

00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:23.400
I'm like, you're supposed to be in bed. I'm bored.

00:21:23.579 --> 00:21:26.539
Okay, I get it, but - Right. Let me pull my video

00:21:26.539 --> 00:21:28.519
game up there. You can play my video game. Just

00:21:28.519 --> 00:21:32.619
heal. Right. Just heal. Yeah, stay off your foot.

00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:35.220
Just stay off it. And then when she said that

00:21:35.220 --> 00:21:37.460
she's going to Luby's, I was like, you're just

00:21:37.460 --> 00:21:40.200
inviting more issues. Right. You could fall from

00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:42.920
the car there. There's just so many things that

00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:45.700
can happen. Does she have one of those knee wheel

00:21:45.700 --> 00:21:47.960
things? Yeah, we bought one of those little scooters.

00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:49.400
You put your knee on it. They're actually pretty

00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:51.680
cool. Have you been scooting around the house

00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:54.119
on it? You know, the first one, yes. The first

00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:56.859
one. Get some races going. So the first one in

00:21:56.859 --> 00:22:00.180
November that when we got it, man, it was tight,

00:22:00.420 --> 00:22:03.220
man. The wheels were super knobby, very sporty

00:22:03.220 --> 00:22:06.000
look. The pad where your knee goes was good.

00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:08.160
It's got a little handbrake on there. It's doing

00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:10.519
donuts, just flying out. This was before you

00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:13.339
got on it. Now what does it look like? No, we

00:22:13.339 --> 00:22:15.720
got a brand new one. You know, we just picked

00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:18.829
a brand new one up. Set it up already, and I

00:22:18.829 --> 00:22:20.809
was on it. I wanted to take it to spin around

00:22:20.809 --> 00:22:22.430
the block real quick. Take it down the street?

00:22:22.509 --> 00:22:24.869
I was live horsepower motor on it. No. I should

00:22:24.869 --> 00:22:28.250
have a battery on there. Yeah, but it is helpful.

00:22:28.390 --> 00:22:30.509
It is a fantastic design, whoever came up with

00:22:30.509 --> 00:22:32.789
that. Is she using it? Is she using it? I don't

00:22:32.789 --> 00:22:35.349
know. I've been around her. She's been remote.

00:22:35.430 --> 00:22:37.289
She's over at her parents' house staying in the

00:22:37.289 --> 00:22:40.509
apartment, so to speak. Why does she stay there

00:22:40.509 --> 00:22:45.700
and not at home? Because it's easier there. Because

00:22:45.700 --> 00:22:48.619
we have stairs. Oh, gotcha. And it's just easier.

00:22:48.819 --> 00:22:52.140
You know, her mom is there all day to help her.

00:22:52.220 --> 00:22:54.960
Right. And, you know, constant support. Yeah.

00:22:55.059 --> 00:22:57.200
And that was important for the first week. So,

00:22:57.299 --> 00:22:59.140
yeah, she's coming home tonight. Good. And, you

00:22:59.140 --> 00:23:00.819
know. Well, after Luby, she's going to Urban

00:23:00.819 --> 00:23:05.660
Air, right? Yeah. Lord. Whatever, man. I just

00:23:05.660 --> 00:23:07.640
want her better. I want her healthy and happy.

00:23:07.859 --> 00:23:09.539
You know, it's all about being happy, right?

00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:12.720
It is. Right. I mean, yeah. I mean, dude, knee

00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:15.759
pain, foot pain. Shoulder pain, I mean, you've

00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:17.400
got to address those things. Otherwise, you just

00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:19.240
live in misery for the rest of your life or you

00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:22.160
stay hopped up on pain meds, right? Opioids.

00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:24.400
Yeah, seriously. Yeah. So, yeah, I'm glad she

00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:25.740
took care of it. I mean, there are some people

00:23:25.740 --> 00:23:28.759
who just, you know, limp along forever. I have

00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:31.160
to go and get my feet looked at. My right foot,

00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:34.960
I believe I have tendonitis in the top of my

00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:36.599
foot. There's a tendon up there. Well, you have

00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:37.960
weird feet anyway, right? Yeah, I've got weird.

00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:40.799
You've got these weird flat. whatever you said.

00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:43.079
Yeah, I've got weird bone -old structure inside

00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:45.119
anyway, but now I think I've got tendonitis in

00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:46.980
my right foot. It hurts like a fucking bitch,

00:23:46.980 --> 00:23:49.640
too. God. You think in your past life there were

00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:52.599
paddles? Like a penguin? Could be webbed. Do

00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:54.940
you think they were webbed? I don't know. You

00:23:54.940 --> 00:23:57.480
might have been... Like a platypus? A platypus,

00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:00.940
yes. No, you evolved from a platypus. No, but

00:24:00.940 --> 00:24:04.700
the way you're... Man, they're... It looks painful,

00:24:04.859 --> 00:24:07.480
the x -ray that you showed. They are. Not all

00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:09.579
the time. My right one is now because of tendonitis,

00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:13.400
but when we climbed that mountain, I was in bad

00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:17.299
pain coming down. That was the best part for

00:24:17.299 --> 00:24:19.619
me because I was kind of like, thank God. No,

00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:23.019
it was almost easier going up than down. I thought

00:24:23.019 --> 00:24:26.359
of you guys. Somebody got the plague. In Lake

00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:28.579
Tahoe. And you guys literally - They were feeding

00:24:28.579 --> 00:24:30.299
the chipmunks. Well, you guys literally said

00:24:30.299 --> 00:24:33.319
there's a sign that said, caution, there are

00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:35.339
chipmunks with plague or something like that.

00:24:35.380 --> 00:24:37.240
Thanks, Nancy Pelosi. Yes. Yeah, there are signs

00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:39.400
out there that says, stay away from the squirrels,

00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:42.039
don't feed them, and if you see poop, don't touch

00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:43.039
it, because that's how it gets passed around.

00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:44.599
Don't eat the poop. See, that's what you've got

00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:46.819
to tell hikers, man. Don't eat the chipmunk poop.

00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:48.779
Yeah, yeah. They like to dig in the poop and

00:24:48.779 --> 00:24:51.599
pull the berries out. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they

00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:54.859
said this person was bitten by an infected flea.

00:24:55.560 --> 00:24:57.299
There's not much you can do about that. Yeah,

00:24:57.380 --> 00:24:58.980
because they're covered. Yeah, that's exactly

00:24:58.980 --> 00:25:01.220
right. It's the hantavirus, I believe, which

00:25:01.220 --> 00:25:02.880
is a version of the plague, isn't it? Isn't that

00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:05.640
what Gene Hackman, yeah. Yeah, exactly. Gene

00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:07.940
Hackman's wife died of that. Did you see Jeff's

00:25:07.940 --> 00:25:11.519
head bobble? Did you bobble your head? I guess

00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:15.079
I did. This is affecting your work. Actually,

00:25:15.220 --> 00:25:18.059
your work is affecting us. He knew the answer.

00:25:18.220 --> 00:25:20.779
He said it. And as he said it, his head bobbled

00:25:20.779 --> 00:25:23.500
a little bit. I wish we had a camera on that.

00:25:23.500 --> 00:25:25.819
You do that well. You do. You really do. We're

00:25:25.819 --> 00:25:27.859
doing that on camera. All right. For absolutely.

00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:32.039
Yes. Okay. Wow. Yeah, the hantavirus, I believe,

00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:37.039
is what's out there. Yes. That's scary, man.

00:25:37.339 --> 00:25:39.019
But you know what? It's not like the plague from

00:25:39.019 --> 00:25:41.799
like, you know, my son said that. Like the bubonic?

00:25:41.859 --> 00:25:45.210
Well, yeah. My son was like, plague. I go, yeah,

00:25:45.309 --> 00:25:47.509
like the plague from the Middle Ages. The hantavirus

00:25:47.509 --> 00:25:52.150
will kill you. Yes. If you don't, I guess, catch

00:25:52.150 --> 00:25:54.630
it early. It makes you bleed through orifices,

00:25:54.630 --> 00:25:58.769
I believe. Nice. Beautiful. The bubonic plague

00:25:58.769 --> 00:26:01.549
was also through fleas that were going through

00:26:01.549 --> 00:26:03.569
the rats, right? Yes. The rats were carrying

00:26:03.569 --> 00:26:05.930
them. Yep. That was a crazy thing. There's a

00:26:05.930 --> 00:26:10.190
song. Ring around the rosy, pocket full of posies.

00:26:10.450 --> 00:26:12.509
Yeah, that one too. There is a song out there

00:26:12.509 --> 00:26:14.920
that my boys learned. when they were at Gunstream.

00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:20.240
It was based off of a... Who's the blonde that

00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:22.339
was in No Doubt? What's her name? She's married

00:26:22.339 --> 00:26:26.619
to... Gwen Stefani. Gwen Stefani. And to that

00:26:26.619 --> 00:26:31.119
song, it's the Bubonic Plague song, Fleas on

00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:35.599
Rats or something like that. Black Death. It's

00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:37.299
called Black Death. Yeah, see if you can find

00:26:37.299 --> 00:26:41.619
it, Mr. Producer. Yeah, Hollaback Girl, but it's

00:26:41.619 --> 00:26:44.950
about the Bubonic Plague. And the boys, they

00:26:44.950 --> 00:26:47.349
played it when they were in third, fourth grade

00:26:47.349 --> 00:26:49.990
or something like that. See if you can play that.

00:26:50.150 --> 00:26:52.150
Wait, hold on. You're saying Hollaback Girl is

00:26:52.150 --> 00:26:55.250
the song you're talking about? That's... I ain't

00:26:55.250 --> 00:26:58.230
no Hollaback Girl. I ain't no... That's the one

00:26:58.230 --> 00:27:01.369
you're talking about? Yes. So see if you can

00:27:01.369 --> 00:27:04.849
play that Black Death, Hollaback Girl by... I

00:27:04.849 --> 00:27:07.430
had no idea it had Black Death. No, this is a...

00:27:07.609 --> 00:27:11.470
No, that's not the Hollaback one. Oh. They used

00:27:11.470 --> 00:27:13.970
that song. They've rewritten everything and some

00:27:13.970 --> 00:27:17.369
other. I see what you're saying. All right. Well,

00:27:17.369 --> 00:27:21.569
now it's way different. It's the plague going

00:27:21.569 --> 00:27:25.289
to kill you in a few days. A pandemic so severe.

00:27:25.509 --> 00:27:27.769
Black death caused such horror and fear. And

00:27:27.769 --> 00:27:30.029
there ain't no cure for that girl. You'll be

00:27:30.029 --> 00:27:34.170
dead in no time, fat girl. Okay. Dude, I like

00:27:34.170 --> 00:27:36.529
it. It's got a catchy tune. Then it's like fleas

00:27:36.529 --> 00:27:40.890
on rats. What is that? Fleas on rats. Fleas on

00:27:40.890 --> 00:27:44.170
rats. Fleas on rats. I think my wife will still

00:27:44.170 --> 00:27:46.069
break into this with the boys every now and then.

00:27:46.089 --> 00:27:47.410
If they hear this song come on, they'll start

00:27:47.410 --> 00:27:49.450
singing it. I've never heard that. Fleas on rats.

00:27:49.750 --> 00:27:52.809
You heard it. Nice. I've never heard this song.

00:27:52.910 --> 00:27:54.609
Yeah. That's the first time. Preston probably

00:27:54.609 --> 00:27:56.250
knows it. I'm going to put it in my playlist.

00:27:57.130 --> 00:27:59.759
Well, we can go that far. You know what it does

00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:02.299
have? It's a good tool. Songs are kind of cool

00:28:02.299 --> 00:28:05.119
for kids to learn as a teaching tool. Absolutely.

00:28:06.140 --> 00:28:11.680
Yes. Oh, we're looking at the lyrics. What the

00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:15.319
hell? That's kind of morbid. You'll get acral

00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:21.480
necrosis. From the ursina pestis. Wow. Makes

00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:24.140
your tongue all black, girl. It makes your tongue

00:28:24.140 --> 00:28:28.660
all black. Going to bury you out in back, girl.

00:28:29.099 --> 00:28:32.259
Wow. Who started in China? No, everything starts

00:28:32.259 --> 00:28:34.440
in China, doesn't it? Oh, my God. But the Mongols

00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:38.339
and biological warfare. You know, that's crazy.

00:28:38.619 --> 00:28:41.500
Obviously, it's a joke, or was this meant to

00:28:41.500 --> 00:28:43.619
be an educational? I think it's an educational

00:28:43.619 --> 00:28:47.880
song. Okay. Whatever. Yeah. It's a parody of

00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:49.319
the Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani. We'd like

00:28:49.319 --> 00:28:51.240
to play more of the song, but YouTube will totally

00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:53.779
shun us. So, you know, we already have 15 strikes.

00:28:54.299 --> 00:28:57.000
Made by the YouTube channel History Teachers

00:28:57.000 --> 00:28:59.940
about the black death that ravaged Europe during

00:28:59.940 --> 00:29:02.359
the 90s. Are we allowed to play something from

00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:04.000
the YouTube channel? Probably not. Teachers,

00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:06.519
if it's on YouTube? No, we'll get canceled. We'll

00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:08.660
play something from YouTube on YouTube. Do they

00:29:08.660 --> 00:29:12.539
have other parodies? On the History Teachers?

00:29:13.500 --> 00:29:15.799
Hey, we're giving them a shout out. The History

00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:18.960
Teachers YouTube channel. I don't know. This

00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:21.569
was a big one in our house. I know we played

00:29:21.569 --> 00:29:23.950
a few times. Preston, I guarantee Preston's been

00:29:23.950 --> 00:29:26.269
aware of it. That is awesome. You guys are doing

00:29:26.269 --> 00:29:28.630
the breakdance to it. Maybe the robot. We will.

00:29:29.109 --> 00:29:31.309
Yeah, they got other songs. They got Lady Gaga.

00:29:31.470 --> 00:29:35.069
Catherine the Great based off Poker Face. Marie

00:29:35.069 --> 00:29:37.710
Antoinette, Paparazzi. I haven't heard these.

00:29:38.089 --> 00:29:40.390
Play one of them. Let's see what we got here.

00:29:41.470 --> 00:29:44.990
This is great. So this is Catherine the Great

00:29:44.990 --> 00:29:49.930
from Poker Face. It's very interesting. Russia?

00:29:54.089 --> 00:30:08.970
This is funny. It's interesting. Russia. Very

00:30:08.970 --> 00:30:25.950
clever. Oh, how cute. Very clever. Yeah, I think

00:30:25.950 --> 00:30:28.210
it's kind of cool. You can see how the kids would.

00:30:28.269 --> 00:30:31.609
I'm hooked. Totally learn history this way. I

00:30:31.609 --> 00:30:33.730
am downloading all these to my playlist. Very

00:30:33.730 --> 00:30:37.150
nice. Very nice. Yes. Yeah, I haven't heard these.

00:30:37.190 --> 00:30:39.289
I just heard the Bubonic Plague one. You got

00:30:39.289 --> 00:30:40.869
to check us out on Dudes Like a Stash podcast

00:30:40.869 --> 00:30:44.529
or on Instagram or Facebook or YouTube and listen

00:30:44.529 --> 00:30:47.480
to the podcast as a download on these. That's

00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:49.319
a good point. Look at that one. Of course, we're

00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:52.900
the podcast of incorrect information, so we're

00:30:52.900 --> 00:30:55.559
not historically accurate. Arminius at the Battle

00:30:55.559 --> 00:31:00.660
of Tudorburg Forest. Okay. Good Lord. How clever.

00:31:00.900 --> 00:31:04.259
This is a great hobby for these people. You know

00:31:04.259 --> 00:31:05.940
what I mean? Or maybe they're getting paid. I

00:31:05.940 --> 00:31:08.880
don't know. But very cool. How many views? 91

00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:13.480
,000? 11 ,000? 20 ,000? Not bad. Not bad at all.

00:31:14.779 --> 00:31:19.529
Very cool. Martin Luther done to Manic Monday

00:31:19.529 --> 00:31:22.509
by the Bengals. Oh, my God. That's hilarious.

00:31:22.930 --> 00:31:24.450
Yeah, I have to listen to those. It's got to

00:31:24.450 --> 00:31:26.990
be funny. All right. Walk us through this comedy

00:31:26.990 --> 00:31:30.289
thing that you were referring to. Yeah. Is that

00:31:30.289 --> 00:31:32.910
the picture you showed on the... Someone took

00:31:32.910 --> 00:31:35.410
a picture. I did. And I was like, where is that?

00:31:35.789 --> 00:31:39.609
Yeah, it was the Mic Drop Comedy Club right there

00:31:39.609 --> 00:31:42.369
in Legacy East in Plano. When was this? This

00:31:42.369 --> 00:31:45.650
was on Saturday. Oh. And Shelly and I took Dawson

00:31:45.650 --> 00:31:50.289
and Brody to it. And, yeah, it was fun. And they've

00:31:50.289 --> 00:31:52.089
revamped. We've been there before, and they have

00:31:52.089 --> 00:31:55.250
revamped it under new management. Much better

00:31:55.250 --> 00:31:59.089
run. They seat you. They have much more attentive

00:31:59.089 --> 00:32:03.210
waitresses and wait staff. Good food and some

00:32:03.210 --> 00:32:04.789
drinks. You know what I mean? Before, you just

00:32:04.789 --> 00:32:06.670
kind of congregated at the bar outside until

00:32:06.670 --> 00:32:08.930
they let you in. And then if you wanted drinks,

00:32:09.009 --> 00:32:12.049
you had to flag down somebody or go outside and

00:32:12.049 --> 00:32:16.609
get a drink. Or bring your own. No. I think that's

00:32:16.609 --> 00:32:18.549
always an option. You bring a bladder until the

00:32:18.549 --> 00:32:22.230
cop comedian sees you. Yep. Yep. Yep. I guess.

00:32:22.369 --> 00:32:24.789
Spewing everywhere. They call you out. So it

00:32:24.789 --> 00:32:27.130
was this time, instead of the first time we went,

00:32:27.170 --> 00:32:30.089
it was like five lead -up comics, five or six

00:32:30.089 --> 00:32:31.769
lead -up comics, and then the headliner, right?

00:32:31.809 --> 00:32:33.589
Right. This time it was only three, and then

00:32:33.589 --> 00:32:36.019
the headliner went for a long time. Who's the

00:32:36.019 --> 00:32:38.480
headliner? I knew you were going to ask that.

00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:42.079
Rita Rudner? I forgot his name. But I will tell

00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:43.960
you this. So you remember when we went through

00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:48.279
this wokeness where comics were afraid to say

00:32:48.279 --> 00:32:52.099
anything? That is apparently gone. Completely

00:32:52.099 --> 00:32:56.619
gone. Because this guy ravaged everyone. Good.

00:32:56.720 --> 00:32:58.559
Anybody getting upset or anything? You know,

00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:00.740
I don't think so. Everybody was kind of like,

00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:03.299
oh, damn. Even a couple times I was like, wow.

00:33:03.779 --> 00:33:06.329
Like this guy is. And the way he would deliver

00:33:06.329 --> 00:33:08.809
it was like with this like just never smile,

00:33:09.150 --> 00:33:11.410
you know, just kind of, you know, whatever, you

00:33:11.410 --> 00:33:12.950
know. And then every once in a while he would

00:33:12.950 --> 00:33:14.430
say something and the crowd would react and he'd

00:33:14.430 --> 00:33:16.490
kind of turn his head and be like smirking, you

00:33:16.490 --> 00:33:19.309
know. He's like, yeah, that was harsh. Anyway,

00:33:19.390 --> 00:33:22.029
but he was funny and it was a great time. We

00:33:22.029 --> 00:33:27.089
enjoyed it. I mean, he ravaged Indians. Especially

00:33:27.089 --> 00:33:28.450
where there are a lot of Indians in the crowd.

00:33:28.450 --> 00:33:31.150
You know, and I did look around, you know, before

00:33:31.150 --> 00:33:32.869
we were sitting down, I was just kind of, you

00:33:32.869 --> 00:33:35.640
know. sizing up the crowd and i did see like

00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:37.960
a couple with their parents like an awesome older

00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:40.799
indian folks right and and i thought about them

00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:43.039
i was like oh damn because even though they were

00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:46.279
talking about like you know you know personal

00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:49.039
grooming and smelling and stuff like that i was

00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:52.019
like god dang man that this anyway it was really

00:33:52.019 --> 00:33:54.900
it was what are they going well yeah that's true

00:33:54.900 --> 00:33:57.180
right and you know they probably laughed because

00:33:57.180 --> 00:33:59.339
they probably have some friends that Well, when

00:33:59.339 --> 00:34:02.720
they make fun of white folks, I laugh at it.

00:34:02.740 --> 00:34:05.519
Yes, of course. Oh, that's true. I do like macaroni

00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:10.000
and cheese. He's savage. Totally was savage against

00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:12.480
everybody. So it was funny. It was a good time.

00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:15.300
We'd go back. We would definitely go back. Where

00:34:15.300 --> 00:34:17.480
was this again? Legacy East? Legacy East, yeah.

00:34:18.219 --> 00:34:24.130
Was it there by Trulux or the Microcina? No.

00:34:24.130 --> 00:34:28.110
It is over by... Mic drop. It's right there.

00:34:28.309 --> 00:34:32.449
Yeah. It's north of Legacy. Shoot, man. I wasn't

00:34:32.449 --> 00:34:35.070
doing anything Saturday. The Capitol Grill. Yes,

00:34:35.090 --> 00:34:36.530
next to the Capitol Grill. I know where that's

00:34:36.530 --> 00:34:40.550
at. Yeah. It's great. It's pretty funny. What

00:34:40.550 --> 00:34:43.409
were you saying, Sean? Nothing. Well, I said

00:34:43.409 --> 00:34:45.269
I wasn't doing anything Saturday. I think I dropped

00:34:45.269 --> 00:34:47.849
Tara off. She was at her mom's house. Oh, yeah,

00:34:47.909 --> 00:34:49.949
to do her. She had had her surgery. I think I

00:34:49.949 --> 00:34:51.510
was working a little bit. It was Friday, yeah.

00:34:51.650 --> 00:34:55.989
Yeah, Julie and I went to the Fine Tequila Tasting.

00:34:56.829 --> 00:34:58.630
Was that a total wine? That was a total wine.

00:34:59.010 --> 00:35:02.230
Very nice. And Kevin hosted, and he had some

00:35:02.230 --> 00:35:05.050
really good stuff. There's a bottle, and I think

00:35:05.050 --> 00:35:06.929
we need to get into some tequilas. We've talked

00:35:06.929 --> 00:35:09.409
about it. There is a bottle that I sent you a

00:35:09.409 --> 00:35:10.889
picture. I was like, we need to get this. It

00:35:10.889 --> 00:35:13.739
was about $100. $10, though. Okay. That's all

00:35:13.739 --> 00:35:17.920
right. It was extremely good. Very, very good.

00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:21.360
I went to a version of those fine tequilas like

00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:25.019
you, and they were all terrific. Oh, yeah. There's

00:35:25.019 --> 00:35:27.440
something about tequilas. Yeah. It's not like

00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:29.059
traditional. I mean, when you hear tequila nowadays,

00:35:29.219 --> 00:35:31.119
you're thinking of the shit stuff you get at,

00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:34.579
you know, it's Jose Cuervo, which is half tequila

00:35:34.579 --> 00:35:37.059
and half vodka. It's not even real tequila, you

00:35:37.059 --> 00:35:40.909
know? And it's harsh. This stuff is smooth. Now,

00:35:40.949 --> 00:35:42.409
are you talking about aged? Was it primarily

00:35:42.409 --> 00:35:46.409
aged? Well, he had one, because now there's sipping

00:35:46.409 --> 00:35:50.510
Blanco, which basically Blanco is the shit you

00:35:50.510 --> 00:35:52.949
mix with, right? The clear stuff, right? Well,

00:35:53.050 --> 00:35:56.130
now they're coming out with premium Blanco, premium

00:35:56.130 --> 00:36:00.230
silver, and this was good. It was 69 bucks for

00:36:00.230 --> 00:36:01.949
the bottle. So you were trying all the Blanco

00:36:01.949 --> 00:36:06.869
chips? He had one Blanco, which was good. It

00:36:06.869 --> 00:36:10.639
was, man. There was a lot of tequilas. And then

00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:16.280
they got into some reposados and then some anejo

00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:19.780
and then some extra anejo. And it's all aging

00:36:19.780 --> 00:36:21.880
and has to do with how long it's been in the

00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:24.639
barrel. Yeah, sure. Yeah, that's cool. I mean,

00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:26.739
that's an untapped thing for us. I mean, I know

00:36:26.739 --> 00:36:29.039
we've all tried some samples here and there,

00:36:29.139 --> 00:36:30.679
but, you know, I don't think we've ever really

00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:33.699
gotten into it. Well, we have the one from Waikulu

00:36:33.699 --> 00:36:36.599
out there. Did your friend ever respond that

00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:39.559
he could get that? Tequila bottle? The one in

00:36:39.559 --> 00:36:42.599
Hawaii? Oh, you know, I need to follow up with

00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:45.840
him. Yeah. Mr. Francisco Lujan. Yeah, it's only

00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:48.099
available in Maui. He may be able to find it

00:36:48.099 --> 00:36:50.480
in Oahu, but I know they don't ship anywhere.

00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:53.980
You got to be there. I need to send him a picture

00:36:53.980 --> 00:36:56.280
of it. I got a picture on my phone. I'll send

00:36:56.280 --> 00:36:59.260
it to you. Our buddy Brian from the fantasy football

00:36:59.260 --> 00:37:03.380
is in Hawaii right now. Well, why don't we send

00:37:03.380 --> 00:37:06.230
him a picture? Hey, go check this out. I don't

00:37:06.230 --> 00:37:07.469
know what islands he's going to. He's doing the

00:37:07.469 --> 00:37:08.989
cruise thing where you go to multiple islands,

00:37:09.090 --> 00:37:11.130
so maybe he'll go into that. Well, then he has

00:37:11.130 --> 00:37:14.150
to drive up to the distillery. Oh, yeah. I don't

00:37:14.150 --> 00:37:15.329
know what he's doing. They may be in some stores.

00:37:15.389 --> 00:37:18.210
I don't know. Very cool. Well, it is terrific.

00:37:18.489 --> 00:37:20.210
Yeah. Oh, yeah. We enjoyed that. Oh, yeah. It

00:37:20.210 --> 00:37:22.250
was very, very good. Oh, it was lightning. I

00:37:22.250 --> 00:37:24.429
think we got a little toasty that night. We probably

00:37:24.429 --> 00:37:26.489
did. It was pretty strong. Well, tequila affects

00:37:26.489 --> 00:37:29.530
me differently than whiskey. Right. It does.

00:37:30.269 --> 00:37:32.369
It makes a lot of people angry. Yeah. You know

00:37:32.369 --> 00:37:35.139
what was it? Kevin said something at the beginning

00:37:35.139 --> 00:37:38.000
of the class. They said, people our age, because

00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:39.300
everyone that was in there was about our age

00:37:39.300 --> 00:37:42.260
for the most part. Sure. And he's like, we don't

00:37:42.260 --> 00:37:44.920
associate tequila with good drinking because

00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:49.440
we grew up with Jose Cuervo and gut -rot tequila

00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:51.800
in college or high school. It's got a stigma

00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:54.460
to it. And back then, that's all there was. The

00:37:54.460 --> 00:38:00.360
Montezuma. Yeah. Now, they have all these craft

00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:03.000
tequila distilleries, right? And they're making

00:38:03.000 --> 00:38:06.639
some outstanding stuff. Yeah. And it's expensive

00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:10.079
because it's a very manual process. They haven't

00:38:10.079 --> 00:38:12.000
figured out how to automate this process yet.

00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:15.940
Interesting. So it's very manual, like hands

00:38:15.940 --> 00:38:19.059
-on kind of a shit. And they're like craft. Yeah.

00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:21.440
Mom and pop craft type stuff. Right. And the

00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:23.900
big ones, because you have to cook these things.

00:38:24.409 --> 00:38:27.349
These agave plants. They said, well, the big

00:38:27.349 --> 00:38:30.670
ones have learned how to cook it in a pressure

00:38:30.670 --> 00:38:35.030
cooker and smash it more efficiently. So they

00:38:35.030 --> 00:38:38.070
have a massive ninja. Yeah, big ninja. Yeah.

00:38:38.130 --> 00:38:40.250
It's a massive lid. Big toaster oven. With this

00:38:40.250 --> 00:38:41.989
big thing that goes. No, it's just small. It's

00:38:41.989 --> 00:38:44.670
just one at a time. Oh, wow. That would be time

00:38:44.670 --> 00:38:47.570
consuming. Speaking of ninja and mashing, you

00:38:47.570 --> 00:38:50.869
know that bacon you gave us last week? Yes. Tremendous.

00:38:51.230 --> 00:38:53.369
I have not tried mine yet. Did you set a picture?

00:38:53.409 --> 00:38:55.550
You put it on meatloaf or something? No, it was

00:38:55.550 --> 00:38:57.010
just in the oven. You know what's interesting?

00:38:57.110 --> 00:38:59.969
I never knew this about bacon, but I took the

00:38:59.969 --> 00:39:03.269
strips, I laid them out, and baked it. That's

00:39:03.269 --> 00:39:05.969
how I cook bacon now. I do not. I don't like

00:39:05.969 --> 00:39:09.190
it. Once it's in there, and if you stare at it

00:39:09.190 --> 00:39:12.190
while it's cooking, it's like something happens.

00:39:12.349 --> 00:39:15.389
It inflates. It's like something inflates. That

00:39:15.389 --> 00:39:20.239
fat. Probably the steam. It steams. No, it's

00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:23.820
like it rips down the slice. Like the fat in

00:39:23.820 --> 00:39:26.099
the bacon, like all of a sudden, like a balloon

00:39:26.099 --> 00:39:28.980
just inflates. Poof. Did you like pull up a chair

00:39:28.980 --> 00:39:32.539
and sit down and stare into the oven? It was

00:39:32.539 --> 00:39:35.940
fascinating because I saw it happen and I thought

00:39:35.940 --> 00:39:38.099
my eyes were playing tricks on me. And then I

00:39:38.099 --> 00:39:40.440
was kind of like, that was weird. Because if

00:39:40.440 --> 00:39:42.639
you see a piece of bacon, you've got the meat

00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:44.679
and then you have the little lines of fat and

00:39:44.679 --> 00:39:48.250
a meat line of fat. The fat would just... all

00:39:48.250 --> 00:39:51.369
of a sudden expand, but it would happen lightning

00:39:51.369 --> 00:39:53.489
quick. And you're like, kids, kids, you've got

00:39:53.489 --> 00:39:56.570
to come see this. I was home alone. Oh, God.

00:39:56.730 --> 00:39:58.710
You had nobody to share it with. No, that's why

00:39:58.710 --> 00:40:00.250
I took a picture, and I was like, it just doesn't

00:40:00.250 --> 00:40:02.690
know justice. It needed to be a slow motion video.

00:40:02.789 --> 00:40:04.269
You liked it, though? It tasted good? It tasted

00:40:04.269 --> 00:40:07.610
great, man. I ate it over two days. You know,

00:40:07.630 --> 00:40:09.969
I had eggs and bacon on Saturday and Sunday.

00:40:10.809 --> 00:40:15.670
Mine is frozen and ready for the moment. You

00:40:15.670 --> 00:40:17.929
should put your Blackstone together. I know,

00:40:18.010 --> 00:40:19.929
it's still sitting in the box. Do eggs and bacon.

00:40:20.050 --> 00:40:21.349
You should do your brisket on your Blackstone

00:40:21.349 --> 00:40:24.329
this weekend. Really? Yeah, see how that goes.

00:40:25.250 --> 00:40:26.909
Is that this weekend? That'll be an interesting

00:40:26.909 --> 00:40:30.849
deal. Yes, just burn one side. No, I'll just

00:40:30.849 --> 00:40:32.329
flip it and flip it and flip it and flip it.

00:40:32.489 --> 00:40:34.750
We can make up our own song. We can upload it

00:40:34.750 --> 00:40:36.989
to that. History teachers. History teachers.

00:40:37.349 --> 00:40:39.829
How to make a brisket. Paul's making brisket

00:40:39.829 --> 00:40:45.750
on Memorial Weekend. That wouldn't go well at

00:40:45.750 --> 00:40:49.429
all. Nobody's RSVP'd yet. I need to know how

00:40:49.429 --> 00:40:51.230
many people are coming because I got to figure

00:40:51.230 --> 00:40:52.889
out how much food I got to make. I'm always thinking

00:40:52.889 --> 00:40:56.150
about doing a smoked, I mean, a pork butt as

00:40:56.150 --> 00:40:59.050
well. That's a lot of meat. How big is your brisket?

00:40:59.230 --> 00:41:02.510
Well, I've invited 30 people. Oh. Okay. Well,

00:41:02.570 --> 00:41:04.329
then you may have all those people come. Well,

00:41:04.349 --> 00:41:06.690
yeah. I mean, it's maybe too much. Look, none

00:41:06.690 --> 00:41:08.789
of my business, but I mean, if it were me, I

00:41:08.789 --> 00:41:10.590
would just do a bunch of brats on top of the

00:41:10.590 --> 00:41:13.230
brisket. You think so? Hell yeah. Brats are easy.

00:41:13.690 --> 00:41:16.659
It's no drama. Pork butt, there's... You know,

00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:18.880
you already had the brisket to manage. I mean,

00:41:18.880 --> 00:41:21.619
just limit yourself to the brisket. I smoke a

00:41:21.619 --> 00:41:23.940
brisket at the same temp as the pork butt. Oh,

00:41:24.099 --> 00:41:26.659
you're a meatologist. You can do that. What if

00:41:26.659 --> 00:41:29.000
you do the pork butt and I do the brisket? Oh,

00:41:29.019 --> 00:41:33.639
stop it. And together we can have a good party.

00:41:33.800 --> 00:41:36.039
Do you have a pork butt? You can mix your meats.

00:41:36.039 --> 00:41:37.920
No, I'm hoping there's going to be specials this

00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:40.500
week. The new ads come out tomorrow. Do they?

00:41:40.579 --> 00:41:43.079
Yes. Okay. I was going to ask you to keep an

00:41:43.079 --> 00:41:46.199
eye out if I don't remember. Because I need both.

00:41:46.599 --> 00:41:48.119
You can do chicken thighs as well. Those are

00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:51.679
nice and easy. Yeah. I'm going to do brats. I'm

00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:53.860
just saying, if you guys want to participate

00:41:53.860 --> 00:41:56.519
in the bringing of the meat, and I can pay for

00:41:56.519 --> 00:41:58.300
the meat. You don't have to pay for it. I'll

00:41:58.300 --> 00:42:00.260
do some brats. That one's easy for me. Okay.

00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:02.960
You know what? I love brats. I enjoy bratwurst.

00:42:03.099 --> 00:42:06.360
I love knackwurst. I mean, you know, I was craving

00:42:06.360 --> 00:42:11.039
that. Well, my wife got me a book of 1 ,001 sausage

00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:13.099
recipes. That's right. And you've been making

00:42:13.099 --> 00:42:16.570
sausage. And I've got... You're on four? I haven't

00:42:16.570 --> 00:42:18.110
made any of them yet because some of them are

00:42:18.110 --> 00:42:21.309
fairly extensive. I thought you did. No. There's

00:42:21.309 --> 00:42:23.670
one that I found that I want to make, and I've

00:42:23.670 --> 00:42:26.889
got Julie. At school, there's a culinary class.

00:42:27.210 --> 00:42:29.510
So at the end of the year, any leftover food,

00:42:29.849 --> 00:42:33.409
she goes in there, and it's like a store that

00:42:33.409 --> 00:42:35.530
she gets it for pennies on the dollar. Oh, nice.

00:42:35.610 --> 00:42:39.210
So we have these huge 10 -pound things of ground

00:42:39.210 --> 00:42:42.719
pork that's already ground up. Okay. So I'm going

00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:44.699
to make some, whatever the, I can't remember

00:42:44.699 --> 00:42:47.019
the name of the sausage. I just need to get the

00:42:47.019 --> 00:42:51.090
casings. The intestines. I could have sworn you

00:42:51.090 --> 00:42:53.329
had all that, and you talked about how you did.

00:42:53.329 --> 00:42:54.670
You made a round of one. You did something. I

00:42:54.670 --> 00:42:57.269
made them all. We ate them all. Yeah. I ate mine.

00:42:57.269 --> 00:42:59.010
Okay, okay. I'm not losing my mind. No, yeah,

00:42:59.070 --> 00:43:01.429
I did all that. I made a bunch of German bratwurst.

00:43:01.570 --> 00:43:03.590
There you go. 1001 Greatest Sausage Repairies,

00:43:03.610 --> 00:43:06.050
paperback, August 27, 2022. That's it. That's

00:43:06.050 --> 00:43:08.670
it right there. Got a 401. Good reads. Yeah,

00:43:08.690 --> 00:43:12.010
and it goes into a lot of information that you

00:43:12.010 --> 00:43:14.190
need to know on how to make some of this stuff.

00:43:14.389 --> 00:43:16.699
So you don't kill your guests. Correct. I don't

00:43:16.699 --> 00:43:18.579
have that bandwidth. I think I'm just going to

00:43:18.579 --> 00:43:23.000
buy mine. No. Well, we've talked about this.

00:43:23.059 --> 00:43:25.940
I get it. Dude, it's – I'm into this where I

00:43:25.940 --> 00:43:27.639
don't want to buy stuff because I don't know

00:43:27.639 --> 00:43:30.199
what's in it mode. Right. I agree with that.

00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:32.900
I just don't – I don't have the time for that.

00:43:33.159 --> 00:43:36.099
Now, my next step is – now, granted, I get it

00:43:36.099 --> 00:43:38.539
because it does take time. It does, yeah. But

00:43:38.539 --> 00:43:42.559
I have time. So what I need to do for the next

00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:44.320
step is, you know, granted, I'm buying the pork

00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:47.820
butt. That's 99 cents. It's not the best pork

00:43:47.820 --> 00:43:51.400
butt out there, right? Right. It's mass -made

00:43:51.400 --> 00:43:54.539
and shit like that. To get the farm -raised one,

00:43:54.579 --> 00:43:56.199
you're spending quite a bit more money on those

00:43:56.199 --> 00:43:59.250
things. Yeah, but dude, when we buy the 99 cents

00:43:59.250 --> 00:44:01.130
per pound that you're talking about, I mean,

00:44:01.210 --> 00:44:04.230
mine have turned out fantastic. Oh, yeah. No,

00:44:04.309 --> 00:44:07.289
the meat's good. It's fine. But, you know, are

00:44:07.289 --> 00:44:09.650
they shot up with antibiotics and hormones and

00:44:09.650 --> 00:44:11.130
shit like that is what I'm talking about. Yeah,

00:44:11.130 --> 00:44:13.090
that's a good point. Is it the healthiest? Yeah.

00:44:13.110 --> 00:44:15.269
Yeah, I got you. Right. So that's kind of the

00:44:15.269 --> 00:44:17.150
next step. I'm way off on that. It's probably

00:44:17.150 --> 00:44:20.989
retirement when that happens. Yeah. But, you

00:44:20.989 --> 00:44:22.769
know, the briskets and stuff, I'll grind up.

00:44:22.829 --> 00:44:25.190
I need to make some beef sausages as well. Got

00:44:25.190 --> 00:44:27.099
it. That all sounds great. I'm trying to think.

00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:32.719
I think I froze your sausage, too. Oh, wording.

00:44:33.219 --> 00:44:36.179
Yeah. Phrasing. Yeah. We're not doing phrasing

00:44:36.179 --> 00:44:39.739
anymore. Damn it, Archer. Yeah, I think I have

00:44:39.739 --> 00:44:43.360
that, too. You know what? The danger of having

00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:45.909
one of those deep. They get lost. Deep chest

00:44:45.909 --> 00:44:48.769
freezers. Yes. You forget what you have in there.

00:44:48.869 --> 00:44:50.789
Yeah. And then eventually it gets to the bottom.

00:44:50.809 --> 00:44:52.489
And then when it gets to the bottom, you may

00:44:52.489 --> 00:44:53.630
never see it again. I've been waiting for elk

00:44:53.630 --> 00:44:55.530
meat for eight years. Yeah. There's still elk

00:44:55.530 --> 00:44:57.809
meat in there. You're like, Sean, I got you some

00:44:57.809 --> 00:44:59.190
elk meat. And I was like, cool. I can't wait.

00:44:59.210 --> 00:45:01.630
I'm so excited. And then it's been eight years,

00:45:01.849 --> 00:45:04.989
man. It's still in there. Does it ever go bad?

00:45:05.130 --> 00:45:07.989
I mean, I know it can be frostbite or whatever

00:45:07.989 --> 00:45:10.710
you call it. It'll eventually burn. It'll eventually

00:45:10.710 --> 00:45:12.889
burn. But if it's sealed, like nicely sealed

00:45:12.889 --> 00:45:16.619
in... It'll last a few years, but it'll eventually

00:45:16.619 --> 00:45:18.400
start. Yeah, I need to start. It'll eventually

00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:21.059
start what? Just get the freezer burnt. All right,

00:45:21.079 --> 00:45:23.460
I'll start pulling that shit out, and I got to

00:45:23.460 --> 00:45:25.980
either cook it or throw it away, right? I date

00:45:25.980 --> 00:45:27.639
all my stuff so I know, because every now and

00:45:27.639 --> 00:45:29.199
then I'll find, like, ooh, that's two years ago.

00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:32.619
I need to eat that one now. Really? So two years

00:45:32.619 --> 00:45:35.400
is the limit, huh? No. No, it isn't. No, you'll

00:45:35.400 --> 00:45:38.170
be fine if it's vacuum -packed and frozen. Because

00:45:38.170 --> 00:45:40.309
I have shit that's in there for like five years,

00:45:40.429 --> 00:45:42.489
and I'm like, I don't know. That won't go bad.

00:45:42.590 --> 00:45:44.570
It may not taste the best. I sous -vided and

00:45:44.570 --> 00:45:46.969
spiced it up. Yeah, the elk stuff's been in there

00:45:46.969 --> 00:45:50.690
forever. So, yeah. I'm never getting that. How

00:45:50.690 --> 00:45:54.510
long does it take? How long does it say it lasts?

00:45:54.690 --> 00:45:58.710
What happens to meat in the freezer? How long

00:45:58.710 --> 00:46:01.030
does it last? Yes, that's a better question.

00:46:01.210 --> 00:46:07.019
There we go. Freezer burnt. It'll lose quality,

00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:10.300
become discolored. All right. Tough or dry. But

00:46:10.300 --> 00:46:12.559
it's not bad for you. No, it's just it won't

00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:16.300
be as good. Okay. Well, I'm, you know, a lot

00:46:16.300 --> 00:46:18.480
of times I'm just like, whatever. It tastes fine

00:46:18.480 --> 00:46:21.820
to me. Yeah. But I tell you what, my son, I don't

00:46:21.820 --> 00:46:24.780
know where he got this from, but he pulls everything

00:46:24.780 --> 00:46:26.900
out of the freezer. It's kind of like that commercial,

00:46:27.039 --> 00:46:29.639
expired, expired. You know what I mean? Right.

00:46:29.719 --> 00:46:31.960
He looks at everything, and if it's expired at

00:46:31.960 --> 00:46:35.929
all. Even if it's frozen. Well, I mean, I'm thinking

00:46:35.929 --> 00:46:38.210
more of the refrigerator. Oh. Right? You know,

00:46:38.250 --> 00:46:41.289
like anything, though. Like ketchup or whatever.

00:46:41.429 --> 00:46:44.110
He's looking. He's looking at all the expiration

00:46:44.110 --> 00:46:46.829
dates. I'm like, did something happen while you

00:46:46.829 --> 00:46:48.690
were in college where you got, like, the plague

00:46:48.690 --> 00:46:51.210
because somebody, you know, left out the mayonnaise

00:46:51.210 --> 00:46:53.449
or something? I have a problem with food being

00:46:53.449 --> 00:46:56.809
left out. Okay. I get that. I do that. Yeah,

00:46:56.849 --> 00:47:00.289
but the expiration dates on packaged stuff? Is

00:47:00.289 --> 00:47:03.340
it? If it's mayonnaise and shit, like, I don't

00:47:03.340 --> 00:47:05.340
eat mayonnaise anyway, but... What if it's a...

00:47:05.340 --> 00:47:07.460
This is gross. What if it's barbecue? What if

00:47:07.460 --> 00:47:09.739
it's barbecue sauce? Depends how old it is. Like,

00:47:09.739 --> 00:47:12.519
maybe a year past the... I'd toss. You'd toss?

00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:14.380
Yeah. Shit, I'm going to have an empty refrigerator

00:47:14.380 --> 00:47:17.599
then. Yeah. If I toss everything? You know, I

00:47:17.599 --> 00:47:20.539
don't personally do it, but Madeline is really

00:47:20.539 --> 00:47:23.980
good on purging stuff. Yeah, but then you're

00:47:23.980 --> 00:47:26.000
like, where's the fucking ketchup? Oh, we threw

00:47:26.000 --> 00:47:28.369
it all out. I don't... It was expired three years.

00:47:28.429 --> 00:47:30.949
I don't eat any of that stuff. I try my best

00:47:30.949 --> 00:47:33.710
not to use condiments, period. Because condiments

00:47:33.710 --> 00:47:36.949
are basically sugar. Mustard's not. Yeah. But

00:47:36.949 --> 00:47:41.869
mustard gives me aphasia. What? Makes your memory

00:47:41.869 --> 00:47:47.010
go? No. What is it called on your face? Aphasia.

00:47:47.210 --> 00:47:50.309
That's what Bruce Willis has. Rosacea? Rosacea.

00:47:50.309 --> 00:47:52.409
That's what it is, yeah. Poor Bruce Willis and

00:47:52.409 --> 00:47:55.889
his mustard. Yeah. If he had just, his wife,

00:47:56.050 --> 00:47:58.070
that's on his wife. Yes. I wonder if it was stone

00:47:58.070 --> 00:48:00.269
ground mustard. Don't let him have that much.

00:48:00.750 --> 00:48:03.670
No, but I mean, I love mustards, you know, but

00:48:03.670 --> 00:48:05.849
I won't eat like the regular golden mustards.

00:48:06.150 --> 00:48:08.969
So you have a reaction to, is it the actual mustard

00:48:08.969 --> 00:48:11.730
or the vinegar or what is it? I don't know. That's

00:48:11.730 --> 00:48:14.969
all I said, mustard and vinegar. But I love like

00:48:14.969 --> 00:48:18.449
grape upon Dijon, but I don't typically, like

00:48:18.449 --> 00:48:20.630
I'll never use ketchup. It's just because it's

00:48:20.630 --> 00:48:22.769
just sugar. And to me, it's kind of gross. You

00:48:22.769 --> 00:48:25.690
get the sugar -free. Yeah, whatever. I mean,

00:48:25.710 --> 00:48:28.449
I just kind of winged myself off of even using

00:48:28.449 --> 00:48:30.710
it. I don't use a lot of ketchup. I use it to

00:48:30.710 --> 00:48:33.070
make my barbecue sauce. I think there's some

00:48:33.070 --> 00:48:34.590
times I do. Well, what do you guys put on your

00:48:34.590 --> 00:48:38.610
burgers? Mustard. Mustard? Yes. Nothing? Do you

00:48:38.610 --> 00:48:41.750
have it dry? Usually, I mean, you've seen me,

00:48:41.769 --> 00:48:43.389
man. I mean, sometimes I'll have mustard. That's

00:48:43.389 --> 00:48:45.469
about it. And look, I'm not saying I won't use

00:48:45.469 --> 00:48:47.510
ketchup. There are some times I'm like, fuck

00:48:47.510 --> 00:48:51.280
it, I'm having ketchup. You should try A1. Oh,

00:48:51.380 --> 00:48:53.659
I love A1 too, man. Yeah, on a burger. I like

00:48:53.659 --> 00:48:56.719
A1. A1 turns a hamburger to a steak burger. I

00:48:56.719 --> 00:49:00.099
like horseradish. Ooh, I love horseradish. Not

00:49:00.099 --> 00:49:03.280
the creamy shit, but the real, like the shaved

00:49:03.280 --> 00:49:08.179
stuff, the raw. Oh, the raw. I don't even know

00:49:08.179 --> 00:49:11.079
what you would call that. They call it hot. I

00:49:11.079 --> 00:49:12.639
don't really necessarily call it spicy because

00:49:12.639 --> 00:49:15.400
it doesn't necessarily burn your tongue. It goes

00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:18.449
through your sinuses. Kind of like wasabi almost.

00:49:18.690 --> 00:49:20.909
Well, that's horseradish. Wasabi is horseradish.

00:49:21.230 --> 00:49:27.110
So the fumes burn your sinus cavity. Oh, that

00:49:27.110 --> 00:49:29.190
sounds wonderful. Bring that on. Oh, it is. Me

00:49:29.190 --> 00:49:31.949
and my boys somehow. It's addicting. Somehow

00:49:31.949 --> 00:49:35.349
enjoy that? Yes. You turn into some sort of horseradish

00:49:35.349 --> 00:49:37.730
masochist. You're kind of like, oh, I hate it,

00:49:37.750 --> 00:49:41.139
but I want more. Whenever my boys come over,

00:49:41.199 --> 00:49:44.039
we go out somewhere that has horseradish or steaks

00:49:44.039 --> 00:49:45.239
or something like that, we get horseradish on

00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:47.599
the side. They're like, who can eat the biggest

00:49:47.599 --> 00:49:50.079
chunk of it? Oh, God. You and the boys would.

00:49:50.219 --> 00:49:52.480
That's what you guys would do. That is definitely

00:49:52.480 --> 00:49:56.500
your favorite. But I enjoy it. When I go to Benihana

00:49:56.500 --> 00:49:59.219
or Jim Bay or something like that, I always get

00:49:59.219 --> 00:50:02.699
extra wasabi. I love mixing up, put wasabi on

00:50:02.699 --> 00:50:06.039
everything. Yeah, wasabi is just a form of horseradish.

00:50:07.639 --> 00:50:12.739
Yeah, maybe I haven't experienced this. It's

00:50:12.739 --> 00:50:15.579
addicting. This thing. I got some downstairs.

00:50:15.579 --> 00:50:17.440
What little I've tried of it, I was like, no,

00:50:17.440 --> 00:50:18.880
thank you. I got some downstairs. I noticed that

00:50:18.880 --> 00:50:22.699
in your house, you guys have a very limited,

00:50:23.619 --> 00:50:27.000
you stay in a small circle. We do. And there's

00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:28.679
nothing wrong with that. I'll admit that. We

00:50:28.679 --> 00:50:30.739
do. You just don't venture too far. You're like,

00:50:30.820 --> 00:50:33.880
yeah, no, I'm good. We have a pretty simple palette.

00:50:34.239 --> 00:50:37.760
Yep. Today we're doing. Tater tots again. We're

00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:41.599
good. Rice. Whatever. White rice. Oh, we might

00:50:41.599 --> 00:50:43.960
put pepper on it. Tara's like, hey, I'm going

00:50:43.960 --> 00:50:45.260
to bring some salmon over. You're like, yeah,

00:50:45.260 --> 00:50:47.659
no, no, no. Just keep that over at your house.

00:50:48.659 --> 00:50:51.119
We've got hot dogs over here. We're good. We

00:50:51.119 --> 00:50:53.239
have hot dogs left over from last night. That's

00:50:53.239 --> 00:50:56.940
usually what we've heard that one. Although you

00:50:56.940 --> 00:50:58.860
do try the food if it comes over. Like the one

00:50:58.860 --> 00:51:00.719
time we had the oxtail soup, right? You guys

00:51:00.719 --> 00:51:03.219
ate that, didn't you? Yeah. Yeah, I've been better.

00:51:03.300 --> 00:51:05.699
In the last couple years, I've done better at

00:51:05.699 --> 00:51:06.960
just trying shit. Well, because we've been giving

00:51:06.960 --> 00:51:09.079
you shit. Well, I mean, we're like, hey, Mikey,

00:51:09.239 --> 00:51:12.119
he likes it. Well, I mean, you know, it wasn't

00:51:12.119 --> 00:51:13.719
peer pressure. It was just me going, you know

00:51:13.719 --> 00:51:15.760
what? Why do I say I don't like it? I've never

00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:17.860
really tried it. Well, my thing with the boys

00:51:17.860 --> 00:51:20.960
when they were younger, I put something new on

00:51:20.960 --> 00:51:23.199
the table in front of them, and they're like,

00:51:23.400 --> 00:51:25.539
I don't want that. I don't like it. I was like,

00:51:25.619 --> 00:51:28.059
you haven't even tried it yet. Right. You don't

00:51:28.059 --> 00:51:29.980
get to say you don't like it until you try it.

00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:32.860
Right. If you try it and you don't like it, okay,

00:51:33.000 --> 00:51:34.679
then we'll talk. Okay, by all means. Yeah. But

00:51:34.679 --> 00:51:36.840
at least with Brandon, he and I had some knockdown

00:51:36.840 --> 00:51:39.760
drag outs. He would work himself so much, he'd

00:51:39.760 --> 00:51:43.619
take one bite and gag. I was like, really? And

00:51:43.619 --> 00:51:45.880
not even know why. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I guess.

00:51:45.880 --> 00:51:47.159
You know, he'd get it all worked up, or he'd

00:51:47.159 --> 00:51:48.219
take one little bite, he was like, I like it.

00:51:48.500 --> 00:51:52.679
I was like, Brandon. And we'd go around and around.

00:51:53.500 --> 00:51:55.340
You didn't let him off the hook, huh? No, I did

00:51:55.340 --> 00:51:58.280
not. Oh, wow. You were pretty. Oh, what is that?

00:51:58.320 --> 00:52:00.480
Mommy Dearest, but it's Daddy Dearest? Oh, yeah.

00:52:00.519 --> 00:52:04.139
We had some nice. Were you Daddy Dearest? When

00:52:04.139 --> 00:52:07.639
it came to food, I was. Yeah, wow. Yeah. You

00:52:07.639 --> 00:52:10.079
guys ever see the movie Mommy Dearest? Long time

00:52:10.079 --> 00:52:13.079
ago. No wire hangers. She's freaking out about

00:52:13.079 --> 00:52:16.219
the hangers, yeah. No wire hangers. So foods

00:52:16.219 --> 00:52:21.119
disliked or hated by the largest share of American

00:52:21.119 --> 00:52:24.139
adult citizens are three things they listed.

00:52:24.460 --> 00:52:29.469
Liver. Liver is on the list at 54%. Wow. Sardines.

00:52:30.210 --> 00:52:34.050
Sardines is on the list at... Very nice. Actually,

00:52:34.150 --> 00:52:36.570
this says 52%, so that doesn't make sense, but

00:52:36.570 --> 00:52:39.210
it doesn't matter. Sardines, so you have... And

00:52:39.210 --> 00:52:41.530
what's the third one? Some people put on pizza

00:52:41.530 --> 00:52:43.090
and they're... Anchovies. Yeah, there you go.

00:52:43.090 --> 00:52:45.550
I ate all of that. Yeah, I did too. Those are

00:52:45.550 --> 00:52:48.349
the three that people... Anchovies. The majority

00:52:48.349 --> 00:52:50.590
of people say they don't want. Yeah, they don't

00:52:50.590 --> 00:52:52.090
like. Now, I haven't had liver and onions since

00:52:52.090 --> 00:52:55.250
my mom cooked it when I was a kid. I can't say

00:52:55.250 --> 00:52:59.889
I've ever actually had it. Oh, it's squid. I've

00:52:59.889 --> 00:53:03.010
had that too. George Bush doesn't like Brussels

00:53:03.010 --> 00:53:06.230
sprouts. I'm not a fan. I can eat Brussels sprouts.

00:53:06.489 --> 00:53:09.670
You know what? If I had to, I would eat them,

00:53:09.690 --> 00:53:11.989
but I didn't think they were enjoyable. There's

00:53:11.989 --> 00:53:16.170
one vegetable I remember growing up that I could

00:53:16.170 --> 00:53:19.579
not eat. It was lima beans. And I remember. Was

00:53:19.579 --> 00:53:22.340
it the texture? It was the texture and the flavor.

00:53:22.420 --> 00:53:25.280
So whenever my mom would make these, I would

00:53:25.280 --> 00:53:28.199
try to eat them and they would make me gag. I

00:53:28.199 --> 00:53:31.139
thought those were relatively like bland, weren't

00:53:31.139 --> 00:53:33.440
they? Whenever the flavor got me. And once I

00:53:33.440 --> 00:53:35.800
got out of the house, I was like, I will never

00:53:35.800 --> 00:53:37.960
have lima beans in my house. And we never have.

00:53:38.199 --> 00:53:41.480
That is funny. I don't dig on watercress. You

00:53:41.480 --> 00:53:42.960
know how you get in that in Chinese food? I like

00:53:42.960 --> 00:53:44.900
those. I like watercress. Water chestnuts? No,

00:53:44.920 --> 00:53:50.010
watercress. It's kind of like a nut. Silver dollar

00:53:50.010 --> 00:53:52.389
sized little white little chips in there. Yeah,

00:53:52.570 --> 00:53:55.289
I thought they were what you just said. Water

00:53:55.289 --> 00:53:57.510
chestnuts? Yeah. Yeah, that's what I thought

00:53:57.510 --> 00:53:59.429
they were called too. So what are they called?

00:53:59.829 --> 00:54:03.369
Water crust. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know

00:54:03.369 --> 00:54:04.570
what he's talking about. I don't mind them. Those

00:54:04.570 --> 00:54:07.690
kind of have no taste either. Maybe it is chestnut.

00:54:08.929 --> 00:54:11.190
Yeah, that's right. I like those. I enjoy those.

00:54:11.769 --> 00:54:14.250
Salads or? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what

00:54:14.250 --> 00:54:17.039
I thought. Okay. Yeah, I'll eat those. But yeah,

00:54:17.059 --> 00:54:19.699
lima beans, they have never been in my house

00:54:19.699 --> 00:54:23.519
from the time I left my house. I couldn't even

00:54:23.519 --> 00:54:25.800
tell you when the last time I was. Maybe I like

00:54:25.800 --> 00:54:27.320
them now, but I'm never going to find out. We

00:54:27.320 --> 00:54:28.500
don't eat enough beans. Yeah, you don't have

00:54:28.500 --> 00:54:31.400
to eat them. I mean, we don't have lima beans

00:54:31.400 --> 00:54:34.800
in our pantry, but lima beans were part of our

00:54:34.800 --> 00:54:37.420
diet growing up, and I never had your experience.

00:54:37.960 --> 00:54:39.940
I can eat beans. Either way. There was something

00:54:39.940 --> 00:54:42.000
about lima beans that I couldn't handle. What

00:54:42.000 --> 00:54:44.000
about black -eyed peas? They taste the same to

00:54:44.000 --> 00:54:45.800
me as a lima bean. I've never had black -eyed

00:54:45.800 --> 00:54:49.920
peas. No? No. I think I had lima beans. They're

00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:51.400
little green things. I think my mom would make

00:54:51.400 --> 00:54:55.480
those. No, no, pass. Just looking at them makes

00:54:55.480 --> 00:54:59.260
you nauseous, huh? No. Interesting. And she wouldn't

00:54:59.260 --> 00:55:01.039
do it. It was just like that bowl. They weren't

00:55:01.039 --> 00:55:04.320
seasoned. Well, there you go. Or anything. It

00:55:04.320 --> 00:55:06.360
was just. But they were steamed or something,

00:55:06.460 --> 00:55:08.519
right? It was a pile. It was probably. It's probably

00:55:08.519 --> 00:55:10.619
out of a can, you know. Yeah, I don't remember

00:55:10.619 --> 00:55:13.099
how she cooked them, but it was just. I couldn't

00:55:13.099 --> 00:55:14.920
eat them. It's so funny. I recommend you give

00:55:14.920 --> 00:55:17.360
it another shot. No. No, I've lived this long

00:55:17.360 --> 00:55:19.800
without him. Clearly not going to happen. You

00:55:19.800 --> 00:55:21.119
know, it's funny how we have these misconceptions

00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:24.820
about like what the plant that it comes from.

00:55:24.860 --> 00:55:27.980
Like if you told me spinach, right? Spinach to

00:55:27.980 --> 00:55:33.119
me was the nasty stuff from a can. Right? Spinach,

00:55:33.119 --> 00:55:35.840
like the Popeyes from the can, right? Right.

00:55:36.239 --> 00:55:38.960
And so later in life, when I saw spinach leaves,

00:55:39.079 --> 00:55:41.440
like fresh ones in a bag, like for salads, I'm

00:55:41.440 --> 00:55:44.320
like. That must be a different kind of spinach.

00:55:44.800 --> 00:55:47.900
It's not cooked. I know. But it's funny how you

00:55:47.900 --> 00:55:50.519
disassociate when you're a little kid and you

00:55:50.519 --> 00:55:52.139
become like a young adult and you start to cook

00:55:52.139 --> 00:55:54.239
for yourself and shop for yourself for the first

00:55:54.239 --> 00:55:57.840
time. You didn't make a connection between what

00:55:57.840 --> 00:55:59.840
things actually are. Well, canned spinach is

00:55:59.840 --> 00:56:03.239
nasty looking anyway. But again, we ate the shit

00:56:03.239 --> 00:56:05.139
out of that groan. I could have eaten that over.

00:56:05.630 --> 00:56:08.750
Lima beans. Popeye was just a can. Oh, yeah.

00:56:08.750 --> 00:56:10.250
That's all we had back then. Popeye was just

00:56:10.250 --> 00:56:13.070
an op to get kids to eat spinach. It was. Yeah,

00:56:13.190 --> 00:56:15.570
it was effective. It was a psyop. Yeah, it was

00:56:15.570 --> 00:56:17.389
totally effective. Don't you want to be like

00:56:17.389 --> 00:56:19.909
Popeye? You know what's weird is I can eat edamame.

00:56:20.550 --> 00:56:24.730
I love edamame. I can eat edamame. Which window

00:56:24.730 --> 00:56:27.230
is that? It's the top. No, that's lima beans.

00:56:27.610 --> 00:56:30.989
But it's about the same. Well, again, I don't

00:56:30.989 --> 00:56:33.429
think they taste good. Those are soybeans. Edamame

00:56:33.429 --> 00:56:38.400
is soybeans. Those are lima beans. Well, you

00:56:38.400 --> 00:56:39.460
know, if you don't like it, you don't like it.

00:56:39.500 --> 00:56:42.360
I mean, I don't necessarily like them, but I

00:56:42.360 --> 00:56:44.639
don't not like them. I mean, I'm not going to

00:56:44.639 --> 00:56:46.199
go to the store, hey, I want some almond beans.

00:56:47.059 --> 00:56:51.400
So that's what edamame is? I remember my mom

00:56:51.400 --> 00:56:53.639
used to serve, I thought they used string beans.

00:56:55.039 --> 00:56:56.719
Green beans or whatever you call them. And then

00:56:56.719 --> 00:56:58.980
you split them open and you get the little things

00:56:58.980 --> 00:57:02.039
in there and you pinch them and shoot. Yeah,

00:57:02.400 --> 00:57:04.519
exactly. Pinch and shoot in your mouth. I thought

00:57:04.519 --> 00:57:08.739
those were green beans. Like string green beans.

00:57:08.840 --> 00:57:11.619
No, they're soybeans, aren't they? All right,

00:57:11.659 --> 00:57:15.199
so lima beans versus edamame. So they look almost

00:57:15.199 --> 00:57:16.980
the same. At a glance, lima beans and edamame

00:57:16.980 --> 00:57:18.420
look quite similar, but there are differences

00:57:18.420 --> 00:57:20.000
because they're if you ever want ingredients

00:57:20.000 --> 00:57:23.500
to elevate your salad in addition to nuts or

00:57:23.500 --> 00:57:26.480
dried fruits. Both, how do you pronounce that?

00:57:26.699 --> 00:57:29.920
Legumes. Legumes. Legumes provide distinct flavor

00:57:29.920 --> 00:57:32.320
texture and nutrients, so they're best. All right,

00:57:32.320 --> 00:57:34.139
so they're about the same. Well, hold on. Maybe

00:57:34.139 --> 00:57:35.820
I'm getting confused. What about string peas?

00:57:36.699 --> 00:57:39.059
Well, those are peas. Yeah, exactly. You break

00:57:39.059 --> 00:57:40.960
them open. Oh, those are different. Yeah, those

00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:42.440
are different. But my point is it's the same

00:57:42.440 --> 00:57:44.420
exercise as breaking it open and you pull out

00:57:44.420 --> 00:57:46.800
the little peas. Okay, I am getting my childhood

00:57:46.800 --> 00:57:49.880
memories confused. Those were string peas. I'm

00:57:49.880 --> 00:57:52.460
not a pea fan either. I love peas, especially

00:57:52.460 --> 00:57:56.119
canned peas. I could eat peas. I've had peas.

00:57:56.340 --> 00:58:00.840
I will not have almond beans. What's wrong with

00:58:00.840 --> 00:58:04.059
you? Did you ever have mushy peas? Well, those

00:58:04.059 --> 00:58:07.280
are canned. Canned peas are super mushy. British

00:58:07.280 --> 00:58:11.019
food basically will have a side of mushy peas.

00:58:11.320 --> 00:58:13.800
That's because they cook them. No, they smash

00:58:13.800 --> 00:58:17.699
them. A paste. Yes, like a smashed potato. That's

00:58:17.699 --> 00:58:20.500
mushy peas. Yeah, you'll see that in British

00:58:20.500 --> 00:58:23.900
food. What I don't like is sweet potatoes. I'm

00:58:23.900 --> 00:58:26.559
not a fan either. Never been a fan. And I have

00:58:26.559 --> 00:58:30.380
tried it many, many times. I'm not a fan. Every

00:58:30.380 --> 00:58:32.079
single one of these things we're talking about.

00:58:32.260 --> 00:58:34.440
Really? Just a lot of them? Dude, I mean, I don't

00:58:34.440 --> 00:58:36.420
care. The sweet potatoes I like, the lime and

00:58:36.420 --> 00:58:39.019
beans. I'm not a fan. Pinto beans. Especially

00:58:39.019 --> 00:58:42.130
the sweet potato fries. I'm just like, ugh. Those

00:58:42.130 --> 00:58:43.849
aren't any healthier for you, even though they

00:58:43.849 --> 00:58:45.769
say they are. They're not. They're tasty. They're

00:58:45.769 --> 00:58:47.369
not, and they're nasty. I think they're not.

00:58:47.429 --> 00:58:49.469
I can't stand them. I think there's a misconception

00:58:49.469 --> 00:58:52.170
that they're healthier. Probably. But they're

00:58:52.170 --> 00:58:54.030
not healthier because they're deep brimmed, just

00:58:54.030 --> 00:58:55.289
like everything else. Yeah, it's the oil that's

00:58:55.289 --> 00:58:57.429
unhealthy. I think they may have less carbs,

00:58:57.469 --> 00:59:02.670
but not much more. All right, well, we can jump

00:59:02.670 --> 00:59:06.630
on the advent calendar thing. We have, this year,

00:59:06.789 --> 00:59:10.389
we have the wild turkey. Wild Turkey Private

00:59:10.389 --> 00:59:13.969
Select Single Barrel. It's 101 proof. This one

00:59:13.969 --> 00:59:17.030
was only available at the distillery. Jeff's

00:59:17.030 --> 00:59:18.889
trip out there brought this back. It's a single

00:59:18.889 --> 00:59:22.170
barrel. They only have it there, and it's part

00:59:22.170 --> 00:59:24.050
of the advent calendar. What is the advent calendar?

00:59:24.210 --> 00:59:25.670
Your listeners are like, what the fuck is he

00:59:25.670 --> 00:59:27.210
talking about? So Jeff went out there and brought

00:59:27.210 --> 00:59:31.400
back 17, 18 different whiskeys. So we didn't

00:59:31.400 --> 00:59:33.360
want to know what they were. So every week he

00:59:33.360 --> 00:59:35.780
releases a new one for us to taste. And this

00:59:35.780 --> 00:59:37.420
is one of the ones on the list. I don't want

00:59:37.420 --> 00:59:40.480
proof. I've got to tell you guys, it tastes good,

00:59:40.559 --> 00:59:44.880
but it's a quitter. Oh, you don't think it finishes?

00:59:45.360 --> 00:59:49.059
I get a finish on this. I don't think there's

00:59:49.059 --> 00:59:55.719
a lot up front for me. It's kind of. It's kind

00:59:55.719 --> 00:59:58.539
of soft and bland. It is. It's very, very soft.

00:59:58.980 --> 01:00:01.800
Nothing stands out about it. It's got a little

01:00:01.800 --> 01:00:05.739
peppery, a little grape. It's got a nice flavor.

01:00:06.059 --> 01:00:09.980
I mean, 401 proof drinks, not flavor -wise, but

01:00:09.980 --> 01:00:13.079
feel -wise, like a 90 proof. Is that a good thing?

01:00:13.159 --> 01:00:16.280
Actually, I just took a big pull right now. That

01:00:16.280 --> 01:00:17.920
may not be a bad thing. I just changed my attitude

01:00:17.920 --> 01:00:20.559
about it. This was good. I was sipping on it,

01:00:20.599 --> 01:00:22.519
very little subtle sips so I could save it to

01:00:22.519 --> 01:00:24.460
the end, and I took a big one. That was good.

01:00:25.679 --> 01:00:28.940
I actually like this. It's very flavorful. It's

01:00:28.940 --> 01:00:31.900
soft. I think that's a good word for it. It's

01:00:31.900 --> 01:00:35.519
soft. It's very easy to drink. If you want to

01:00:35.519 --> 01:00:37.699
get into a Hunter Proofer, this would be a good

01:00:37.699 --> 01:00:41.820
one to get into. Nice little white pepper tail

01:00:41.820 --> 01:00:44.039
end on that. Of course, it's hard to get. You've

01:00:44.039 --> 01:00:48.579
got to be there. Baking spices. There's nothing

01:00:48.579 --> 01:00:51.940
wrong with it. It's a very nice, tasty, you know.

01:00:52.400 --> 01:00:56.260
I'm saying white pepper. Is baking spice considered

01:00:56.260 --> 01:00:59.079
white pepper? No, those are your cloves, your

01:00:59.079 --> 01:01:09.920
nutmegs, cinnamon. Cinnamon? Cinnamon, yes. But,

01:01:09.920 --> 01:01:13.340
you know, compare this. To Wild Turkey 101. This

01:01:13.340 --> 01:01:16.280
is drastically smoother. Oh, yeah. It's way,

01:01:16.280 --> 01:01:20.239
way better. This one is a home run. So 101 proof,

01:01:20.500 --> 01:01:23.000
how are we going to rate this? I'll tell you

01:01:23.000 --> 01:01:26.679
right now, I'm going to do a 7. I'm going 6 -3.

01:01:27.039 --> 01:01:33.840
I'm going to go a 7 -2 on this. I think it's

01:01:33.840 --> 01:01:36.099
easy to drink, and I think it's very, very tasty.

01:01:36.139 --> 01:01:39.440
There's a little sweetness on it. Yeah. Like

01:01:39.440 --> 01:01:42.300
you said, the baking spices are all there. I

01:01:42.300 --> 01:01:47.019
got a strong pull of grape. Similar to the 1792

01:01:47.019 --> 01:01:50.320
that Chuck gets, that foolproof. Is it the foolproof

01:01:50.320 --> 01:01:53.719
or single barrel that you get? Foolproof. Foolproof.

01:01:54.199 --> 01:01:56.420
It's got a very grape. At least that's, I remember

01:01:56.420 --> 01:01:58.980
that because we were downing it in the parking

01:01:58.980 --> 01:02:02.980
lot. Copious amounts. At the Brailyard. Yep.

01:02:04.440 --> 01:02:06.380
Anyway, I like this one a lot. I'm glad I picked

01:02:06.380 --> 01:02:09.070
it up because I looked at it, I was like. Because

01:02:09.070 --> 01:02:11.349
it comes in the bottle that Rare Breed comes

01:02:11.349 --> 01:02:15.210
in. So I was like, is this just Rare Breed single

01:02:15.210 --> 01:02:17.590
barrel maybe? Yeah, you're always weary. I'm

01:02:17.590 --> 01:02:20.150
always weary about that. Yeah, it does make you

01:02:20.150 --> 01:02:22.909
wonder what's different about it that makes them

01:02:22.909 --> 01:02:26.429
say. It was on the third floor. Only at the distillery.

01:02:27.929 --> 01:02:31.969
Are we doing a little extra of it or no? Probably

01:02:31.969 --> 01:02:34.489
not because it's hard to find this one. Hard

01:02:34.489 --> 01:02:35.909
to get this one. You can do a little time. No,

01:02:35.909 --> 01:02:37.670
let's not do that. Let's just wait until the

01:02:37.670 --> 01:02:42.699
next half. All right, cool. Maybe you guys were

01:02:42.699 --> 01:02:44.679
pretty high compared to mine. I could do a little

01:02:44.679 --> 01:02:47.960
one. Maybe I should do a little higher. Well,

01:02:47.960 --> 01:02:49.920
no, you do what you think, what you like it.

01:02:50.119 --> 01:02:53.199
I did not like it at all. I mean, it was good.

01:02:53.400 --> 01:02:55.480
You said, what, 6 .8, 6 .9, you said? I said

01:02:55.480 --> 01:02:57.980
6 .3. Look, if that's the way you feel, then

01:02:57.980 --> 01:03:00.800
that's the way you feel. I mean, honestly, that's

01:03:00.800 --> 01:03:02.659
exactly what I would have rated it until I took

01:03:02.659 --> 01:03:04.920
that big poll. And I had the big poll. I was

01:03:04.920 --> 01:03:07.539
like, all right, well, that's different. Now

01:03:07.539 --> 01:03:09.440
I got a great taste in it. I got to be honest,

01:03:09.539 --> 01:03:12.179
when I loaded these glasses, they were a little

01:03:12.179 --> 01:03:16.820
shy of my normal pour because I didn't want to

01:03:16.820 --> 01:03:18.579
get blown up tonight. I didn't want to overdo

01:03:18.579 --> 01:03:23.519
it. So that's on me. Good for you. I got shit

01:03:23.519 --> 01:03:26.260
to do tonight. You're adulting. Well, let's not

01:03:26.260 --> 01:03:32.019
get crazy. My bad. So this person writing the

01:03:32.019 --> 01:03:34.840
review gave it a 7 .9 out of 10. So basically

01:03:34.840 --> 01:03:36.880
an eight almost. So they were very, very impressed.

01:03:36.920 --> 01:03:39.699
Yeah, they liked it. Yeah. Oh, this is Reddit.

01:03:41.460 --> 01:03:43.639
This is what, a Reddit? Reddit, yes. Actually,

01:03:43.659 --> 01:03:46.559
Reddit. So it's some liberal fuck. Well, some

01:03:46.559 --> 01:03:48.719
of them are not like that. It's the same guy

01:03:48.719 --> 01:03:51.619
as this. Like the bourbon. Turkey private selection,

01:03:51.760 --> 01:03:54.679
single barrel. Yeah, I joined Reddit to read

01:03:54.679 --> 01:03:57.559
these kind of things. The bourbon, the Sonos,

01:03:57.719 --> 01:04:00.880
some woodworking stuff, some barbecuing stuff.

01:04:01.199 --> 01:04:03.900
But you get sucked into some of the others. And

01:04:03.900 --> 01:04:07.800
I just laugh because it's a liberal cesspool

01:04:07.800 --> 01:04:11.719
is Reddit. Circular think tank. It is. And every

01:04:11.719 --> 01:04:15.119
now and then, even in the bourbon one, the libs

01:04:15.119 --> 01:04:17.340
will come out because they'll bitch about tariffs.

01:04:17.400 --> 01:04:19.960
And that just sets somebody off. And they'll

01:04:19.960 --> 01:04:24.960
go down the TDS toilet. And they can't help themselves.

01:04:25.340 --> 01:04:27.780
Well, I mean, Canada just matched all of our

01:04:27.780 --> 01:04:31.409
tariffs. I thought they caved. Yeah, they did

01:04:31.409 --> 01:04:32.949
cave. They did. That's what I'm saying. They're

01:04:32.949 --> 01:04:36.030
reciprocating all. They're matching all our tariffs.

01:04:36.150 --> 01:04:36.969
Yeah, that's the way it should be. They're backing

01:04:36.969 --> 01:04:39.309
down. That's the way it should be. Yeah. Yeah.

01:04:39.369 --> 01:04:42.349
So that's great. They're like, fine, fuck it.

01:04:42.389 --> 01:04:44.510
We're done. It's okay. Great. Well, they start

01:04:44.510 --> 01:04:47.110
probably getting hurt economically, right? Well,

01:04:47.190 --> 01:04:48.829
there's only so much you can do. I mean, come

01:04:48.829 --> 01:04:51.449
on. I mean, it's going to happen. With Putin,

01:04:51.630 --> 01:04:53.690
you know, I mean, I don't know what the heck's

01:04:53.690 --> 01:04:57.170
going to happen. I'm so crazy to hear, you know,

01:04:57.170 --> 01:05:00.440
Putin comes into town, talks to Trump. You think,

01:05:00.440 --> 01:05:03.380
and then dipshit comes in, and then from Ukraine,

01:05:03.559 --> 01:05:06.079
and I was thinking they're on the cusp of some

01:05:06.079 --> 01:05:08.000
sort of peace stream. Not even close. Shit, the

01:05:08.000 --> 01:05:12.440
day Zelensky leaves that night, fucking Putin

01:05:12.440 --> 01:05:15.900
just fires off another hundred. Putin's just

01:05:15.900 --> 01:05:18.119
playing games. I don't know what he's doing.

01:05:18.300 --> 01:05:20.159
You know, I'm just thinking, you know, he probably

01:05:20.159 --> 01:05:22.159
wants a specific area, and that's what he's pounding.

01:05:22.400 --> 01:05:24.739
Is there a reason why he's pounding a specific

01:05:24.739 --> 01:05:27.230
area? Because he wants it? Well, there's a certain

01:05:27.230 --> 01:05:29.889
area that he wants, and he has, I think I heard

01:05:29.889 --> 01:05:32.210
on the radio, he has about 75 % of the area that

01:05:32.210 --> 01:05:35.130
he wants. He needs a sustainable land corridor

01:05:35.130 --> 01:05:39.309
down to Crimea. So he's going to keep that land

01:05:39.309 --> 01:05:42.250
corridor. Right. And he's probably like, I need

01:05:42.250 --> 01:05:46.530
another 25%. He goes, the Ukrainians only have

01:05:46.530 --> 01:05:48.070
30 million people there. They're going to have

01:05:48.070 --> 01:05:51.010
a manpower problem before any kind of weapon

01:05:51.010 --> 01:05:55.430
problem. So they want, was it Kherson? Luhansk,

01:05:55.430 --> 01:05:59.789
Donetsk. I can't say that one in Kherson. Luhansk,

01:05:59.829 --> 01:06:05.690
Donetsk. No, Zaporizhzhia. So there's four countries

01:06:05.690 --> 01:06:08.730
basically running from the north to southwest.

01:06:10.949 --> 01:06:17.050
Regions. So he wants a buffer. He understands

01:06:17.050 --> 01:06:21.699
that Ukraine is being courted by the west. He

01:06:21.699 --> 01:06:24.139
wants a buffer between Ukraine and Russia, and

01:06:24.139 --> 01:06:26.659
he needs that land quarter, that nice, thick...

01:06:26.659 --> 01:06:29.239
Kind of like a demilitarized zone? Defendable

01:06:29.239 --> 01:06:30.980
land quarter, or it won't be a demilitarized

01:06:30.980 --> 01:06:34.420
zone. This will be a warm port, is what he wants,

01:06:34.500 --> 01:06:36.099
a warm water port. Yes, that's why he immediately

01:06:36.099 --> 01:06:40.940
took Crimea, back when Obama was in power. So,

01:06:41.079 --> 01:06:42.340
yeah, he's not going to give any of that up.

01:06:42.400 --> 01:06:46.340
He just won't. So, I don't know. There is no

01:06:46.340 --> 01:06:51.349
solution to this, unless it's more war. I don't

01:06:51.349 --> 01:06:53.030
know. It's pretty painful. I don't think he cares.

01:06:53.349 --> 01:06:55.150
Putin doesn't give a shit. He does not care.

01:06:55.230 --> 01:06:57.510
I think he can outweigh, or he thinks he can

01:06:57.510 --> 01:07:01.309
outweigh, because I think, again, I think Ukraine

01:07:01.309 --> 01:07:03.670
has a manpower problem before they're going to

01:07:03.670 --> 01:07:05.869
have a weapons problem. Right. Whereas Russia,

01:07:06.010 --> 01:07:09.349
I think, as I heard, Ukraine has 30 million people.

01:07:09.510 --> 01:07:12.210
Russia has 140 million people to pull from. And

01:07:12.210 --> 01:07:14.429
Putin's willing to kill them all. Yeah, basically.

01:07:16.489 --> 01:07:18.429
It's a numbers game. Yeah, it's a numbers game.

01:07:18.789 --> 01:07:22.599
Putin's like, I can outlast you. Yeah. Basically.

01:07:23.300 --> 01:07:26.780
And I'll get it eventually. And your country

01:07:26.780 --> 01:07:29.199
will be destroyed. The only thing that could

01:07:29.199 --> 01:07:32.360
turn the tide is if we give superior weaponry

01:07:32.360 --> 01:07:35.099
to Ukraine and that's going to escalate things

01:07:35.099 --> 01:07:37.280
because that's going to draw Russia into. Well,

01:07:37.280 --> 01:07:38.679
they already gave them the superior weaponry.

01:07:38.699 --> 01:07:42.179
I know. Well, more. It's manpower. Well, more

01:07:42.179 --> 01:07:45.260
and giving them the authority to launch that

01:07:45.260 --> 01:07:47.800
stuff into Russia. Well, they've done that too.

01:07:48.000 --> 01:07:52.219
Right. But I'm just saying. That's the line that

01:07:52.219 --> 01:07:53.780
they're teetering on right now. Trump's not in

01:07:53.780 --> 01:07:55.480
a good position. I mean, I don't know. Is he

01:07:55.480 --> 01:07:56.800
in a good position? No. Because all he's going

01:07:56.800 --> 01:07:59.360
to be doing is just cutting them off from trade.

01:08:00.199 --> 01:08:02.860
You know, start telling folks, look, you trade

01:08:02.860 --> 01:08:05.059
with Russia and we're done with you. Yeah, basically

01:08:05.059 --> 01:08:08.340
India's going to get screwed quite a bit. And

01:08:08.340 --> 01:08:10.760
all those countries who buy their fuel from Russia.

01:08:11.119 --> 01:08:13.320
Yeah. That's really the only card to play right

01:08:13.320 --> 01:08:19.100
now. So if that happens. Ken, could Trump play

01:08:19.100 --> 01:08:21.600
the H -1B card and say, all right, H -1Bs are

01:08:21.600 --> 01:08:24.939
cut off? He could. Oh, that'd be awesome. Why,

01:08:25.000 --> 01:08:27.239
do we have a lot of Russian H -1Bs? No, Indian.

01:08:27.560 --> 01:08:29.840
Indian. Oh, you don't want Indian. Yeah. Yeah,

01:08:29.840 --> 01:08:33.640
Costco is going to suffer. Right. No, it wouldn't.

01:08:33.640 --> 01:08:35.840
Just more white people would go to it. Probably.

01:08:35.880 --> 01:08:39.079
Could he hold that over India? Would India care?

01:08:39.340 --> 01:08:41.500
I'm thinking H -1B needs to go, period. I mean,

01:08:41.500 --> 01:08:43.880
it's ridiculous. We don't need them here. We

01:08:43.880 --> 01:08:45.529
don't need... I'm sorry. I don't want to say

01:08:45.529 --> 01:08:48.069
we don't need them here. We don't need the program

01:08:48.069 --> 01:08:50.210
H -1B. We don't need the volume that we have.

01:08:50.869 --> 01:08:53.229
The program is abused. There's no question about

01:08:53.229 --> 01:08:59.550
it. I think it's seen as a money saver. But it's

01:08:59.550 --> 01:09:02.850
not. It is for companies. Yeah, but it's not

01:09:02.850 --> 01:09:05.250
a money saver for the United States. No. It's

01:09:05.250 --> 01:09:07.789
solely for companies. We're funding it. Right.

01:09:07.890 --> 01:09:11.489
And they don't... They want to pay cheaper labor.

01:09:12.610 --> 01:09:14.909
Cheaper labor. So they say that there's no one

01:09:14.909 --> 01:09:17.109
else that can do this job. So India says, well,

01:09:17.210 --> 01:09:19.590
we've got people that can do the job. But they

01:09:19.590 --> 01:09:22.289
don't. Well, they do. They're just not, you know,

01:09:22.289 --> 01:09:24.010
in a lot of situations, they're not as good.

01:09:24.149 --> 01:09:26.090
Well, they get someone like you. They're like,

01:09:26.149 --> 01:09:31.050
this guy is Adobe professional. DocuSign. DocuSign.

01:09:31.310 --> 01:09:33.630
So he knows exactly everything about it. Yeah,

01:09:33.630 --> 01:09:35.210
I know. He's really good at WinZip. He's the

01:09:35.210 --> 01:09:38.170
authority on this whole. I think I had a hand

01:09:38.170 --> 01:09:41.020
in developing DocuSign. That's why I'm here.

01:09:42.680 --> 01:09:44.720
It's kind of a hit at you, but it's not really.

01:09:44.859 --> 01:09:47.439
What I'm saying is that they paint a picture,

01:09:47.520 --> 01:09:50.000
but I don't believe it. They get them here, and

01:09:50.000 --> 01:09:52.000
they've got to train them. Yes, and they're learning

01:09:52.000 --> 01:09:54.380
on the fly. Now, I'm not saying there aren't

01:09:54.380 --> 01:09:58.119
incredibly brilliant, smart people. I mean, people

01:09:58.119 --> 01:09:59.899
like Elon Musk. Remember when he was like, he's

01:09:59.899 --> 01:10:02.140
a big believer in the H -1B program because he

01:10:02.140 --> 01:10:06.100
cannot find the really talented engineers to

01:10:06.100 --> 01:10:08.739
do the shit like SpaceX is doing. I believe there

01:10:08.739 --> 01:10:12.880
is an application for a lot of those people,

01:10:13.000 --> 01:10:16.460
right? The vast majority of them are doing jobs

01:10:16.460 --> 01:10:18.199
that Americans can absolutely do. It's kind of

01:10:18.199 --> 01:10:20.699
like Bill Gates. Absolutely. Bill Gates decided

01:10:20.699 --> 01:10:23.859
he was going to slash 8 ,000, 9 ,000 jobs at

01:10:23.859 --> 01:10:28.420
the end of the year. And then he filed for 8

01:10:28.420 --> 01:10:30.819
,000, 9 ,000 applications for H -1B. He's just

01:10:30.819 --> 01:10:32.260
trying to save money. That's all there is to

01:10:32.260 --> 01:10:36.920
it. It's criminal. It is. It was denied, by the

01:10:36.920 --> 01:10:40.340
way. It was? Yeah. Good. Vance brought that up.

01:10:40.819 --> 01:10:43.350
That's good. Way to go, Vance. So are they scrambling

01:10:43.350 --> 01:10:44.569
now going, shit, now we've got to hire those

01:10:44.569 --> 01:10:46.210
people back? Right. I don't know what they're

01:10:46.210 --> 01:10:49.989
doing. Yeah. I mean, is Windows in a weird spot

01:10:49.989 --> 01:10:51.489
right now? I mean, how are they making their

01:10:51.489 --> 01:10:53.789
money? Windows operating system? Every computer

01:10:53.789 --> 01:10:56.510
comes with it. And it's subscription now. Yeah.

01:10:56.649 --> 01:10:59.489
So now you're paying monthly. And you know the

01:10:59.489 --> 01:11:01.869
thing that sucks, though? There's a ton of hardworking,

01:11:01.970 --> 01:11:04.390
good Indian people that are simply taking advantage

01:11:04.390 --> 01:11:06.810
of a program that's available to them. They're

01:11:06.810 --> 01:11:09.130
not illegal. They're not anything. They're just...

01:11:09.579 --> 01:11:11.579
There's a program available to them, and they're

01:11:11.579 --> 01:11:13.659
taking it, and, you know, they get caught in

01:11:13.659 --> 01:11:15.960
the middle of the scorn, you know, the scorn

01:11:15.960 --> 01:11:18.680
from American workers and, you know, the bullshit

01:11:18.680 --> 01:11:20.279
that's happening. Yeah, I agree with that. I

01:11:20.279 --> 01:11:22.859
don't blame them. Yeah, I agree with that. They're

01:11:22.859 --> 01:11:24.800
leaving their situation to be in the United States

01:11:24.800 --> 01:11:26.880
and get to go to Costco? What the hell, man?

01:11:27.039 --> 01:11:29.819
I'd do it, too. Well, they need to adjust to

01:11:29.819 --> 01:11:32.720
the American ways, though. Yeah, probably. That's

01:11:32.720 --> 01:11:34.699
the problem. Well, there you go. Assimilate.

01:11:36.070 --> 01:11:39.029
And that goes for all immigrants. Yeah, it is.

01:11:39.810 --> 01:11:42.390
Yeah. Well, there you go. We're ending the first

01:11:42.390 --> 01:11:43.850
half. That's a dude's like us thought. Here we

01:11:43.850 --> 01:11:46.670
go. All right, well, guys, if you guys want to

01:11:46.670 --> 01:11:50.310
see this video, it won't be available. But we

01:11:50.310 --> 01:11:52.930
are going to be having a video soon. Yeah, we

01:11:52.930 --> 01:11:55.649
are. Super excited. We are. We are. Be patient.

01:11:55.770 --> 01:11:58.149
Be patient. You'll get to see us. It's the end

01:11:58.149 --> 01:12:02.609
of August 26, 2025. Thank you, Chuck, for staying

01:12:02.609 --> 01:12:04.489
on top of stuff. We have a second half that's

01:12:04.489 --> 01:12:06.710
going to be popping up. You won't know, but it's

01:12:06.710 --> 01:12:07.949
going to be instantaneous because it's going

01:12:07.949 --> 01:12:10.109
to be next. Instantaneous. Instantaneous. And

01:12:10.109 --> 01:12:11.529
we have another whiskey that we're going to bring

01:12:11.529 --> 01:12:13.710
up. I won't tell you what it is, should I? And

01:12:13.710 --> 01:12:17.289
this is the last podcast of it at Bargain. Next

01:12:17.289 --> 01:12:22.289
week? Yeah, next week is September. No, you cannot

01:12:22.289 --> 01:12:24.390
tell. You cannot say what the next bourbon is.

01:12:25.829 --> 01:12:27.850
It's going to be sweet, whatever it is. It's

01:12:27.850 --> 01:12:30.630
going to be good. For Dudes Like Us, I'm Sean.

01:12:30.829 --> 01:12:31.869
I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff.
