WEBVTT

00:00:05.270 --> 00:00:08.150
You mean boom, boom, boom. The boat went boom,

00:00:08.230 --> 00:00:10.830
boom. Boom, boom. Ba -da -bing, ba -da -boom.

00:00:11.589 --> 00:00:13.390
Wow. Second half of the Dudes Like Us podcast.

00:00:13.470 --> 00:00:17.050
It's September 2nd. First podcast of September.

00:00:17.469 --> 00:00:21.850
September, October, November, December. Four

00:00:21.850 --> 00:00:25.649
months left of the year. I had a finger cramp

00:00:25.649 --> 00:00:27.089
trying to count. You're doing really well, Sean.

00:00:27.129 --> 00:00:28.649
I'm about to whip out a toe to see if I can't

00:00:28.649 --> 00:00:31.230
get it in there. All right, my point is, you

00:00:31.230 --> 00:00:33.289
know, Halloween's right around the corner. You

00:00:33.289 --> 00:00:36.570
know? I mean, it really is. It is, yes. September,

00:00:36.630 --> 00:00:38.329
October. Many things are right around the corner.

00:00:38.469 --> 00:00:40.929
I know. Thanksgiving and Christmas and colder

00:00:40.929 --> 00:00:43.729
weather and motorcycle weather. I think I'm going

00:00:43.729 --> 00:00:46.890
to be out of town for Halloween. Oh. A way to

00:00:46.890 --> 00:00:50.170
shit on our parade. How convenient. Yes. Where

00:00:50.170 --> 00:00:53.369
are you headed to? Washington, D .C. Oh, that

00:00:53.369 --> 00:00:56.340
sounds like fun. Yes. It's football weather,

00:00:56.420 --> 00:01:00.200
gentlemen. I'm going as a thug gangster. I'm

00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:02.899
so excited. Football's back. Oh, yeah. Are you

00:01:02.899 --> 00:01:04.519
in the Smithsonian while you're out there? I

00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.459
don't know if I have time. But if I do, yes.

00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:09.599
I don't think I'll have time, though. Yeah. It'd

00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:13.819
be difficult to go there and not be able to listen

00:01:13.819 --> 00:01:15.939
and go to, I mean, what is it, like two, three

00:01:15.939 --> 00:01:18.379
days to actually see things? Oh, yeah. You see,

00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:20.739
there's a lot of the Smithsonian. It takes a

00:01:20.739 --> 00:01:22.599
long time to get through all of them. There's

00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:24.590
going to be way too many people. And that's where

00:01:24.590 --> 00:01:26.670
the marathon is, right through all that shit.

00:01:26.750 --> 00:01:28.670
Oh, that's why you're going. Yeah. Oh, there's

00:01:28.670 --> 00:01:29.709
a marathon out there. Okay, I was going to ask

00:01:29.709 --> 00:01:31.269
you, why are you going out there? Okay, very

00:01:31.269 --> 00:01:33.310
cool. Julie's running the Marine Corps Marathon,

00:01:33.329 --> 00:01:37.750
and I think it goes through the, whatever the

00:01:37.750 --> 00:01:42.890
hell they, what is that called? The whole section.

00:01:43.049 --> 00:01:45.189
The mall? The mall, yes. The mall, yeah. Yeah,

00:01:45.230 --> 00:01:46.810
part of it, they're running through that, so

00:01:46.810 --> 00:01:48.730
there's going to be blocked off, and there's

00:01:48.730 --> 00:01:51.189
going to be thousands of people milling around.

00:01:52.399 --> 00:01:54.280
watching. Well, hold on. How long does a marathon

00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:56.799
take? Three hours, right? If you're really good.

00:01:56.980 --> 00:01:59.120
And that's what you need to go to the Smithsonian.

00:01:59.739 --> 00:02:02.200
Three hours. So while she's running in circles,

00:02:02.340 --> 00:02:04.859
you can go to the Smithsonian. Dude, you can

00:02:04.859 --> 00:02:08.340
hop on the USS Minnow and three hour tour. That's

00:02:08.340 --> 00:02:10.780
true. I get lost. The expectation is that I'm

00:02:10.780 --> 00:02:13.460
meeting up with her several times along the route

00:02:13.460 --> 00:02:18.659
to provide her nutrition and fluids and stuff

00:02:18.659 --> 00:02:20.680
like that. You can't have a stand -in? Yeah.

00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:22.620
Well, that's why I'm going to do this for her.

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:25.780
What about somebody who looks like you? So I

00:02:25.780 --> 00:02:28.460
can go to the museum? I want to hire some guy.

00:02:28.539 --> 00:02:30.080
Hey, come on, do this for me. Can you just be

00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:33.099
creative with this, please? You can go to the

00:02:33.099 --> 00:02:34.500
Smithsonian. All right, we haven't introduced

00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:36.840
ourselves. I'm Sean. I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff.

00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.360
All right, back to that. Do you need an imposter?

00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:41.919
Yes. Well, I'm going up there to help her more

00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.370
than. Go to the Smithsonian. You can check us

00:02:44.370 --> 00:02:46.889
out on dudeslikeus -podcast on Instagram and

00:02:46.889 --> 00:02:49.370
Facebook. If you guys want to see what we actually

00:02:49.370 --> 00:02:51.909
look like, a bunch of fools. I was going to say

00:02:51.909 --> 00:02:53.129
retards, but I don't know if you want to use

00:02:53.129 --> 00:02:54.770
that word. We don't look bad. Well, we've also

00:02:54.770 --> 00:02:58.669
started posting shorts. Yeah. So keep an eye

00:02:58.669 --> 00:03:00.189
out for those. Paul's doing a very good job posting.

00:03:00.490 --> 00:03:03.409
Check me out. I'm a video editor. Check out Paul's.

00:03:03.490 --> 00:03:06.310
Check out Paul's shorts on Instagram. Now, I

00:03:06.310 --> 00:03:09.889
did look what it would take to get onto YouTube

00:03:09.889 --> 00:03:12.490
shorts. whatever you're doing is not going to

00:03:12.490 --> 00:03:16.069
work because it has to be a vertical video. I

00:03:16.069 --> 00:03:17.550
don't know what that means, but we can talk about

00:03:17.550 --> 00:03:19.210
that after podcast. Vertical, what you're doing

00:03:19.210 --> 00:03:23.189
is a letterbox. Oh. Widescreen. Well, I guarantee

00:03:23.189 --> 00:03:24.969
DaVinci can do what we're trying to do. Yeah,

00:03:24.969 --> 00:03:27.750
if you could turn that into a vertical because

00:03:27.750 --> 00:03:29.830
people use it on their phone, right? Okay, I'm

00:03:29.830 --> 00:03:31.389
on it. So they wanted to fill the whole screen.

00:03:31.789 --> 00:03:35.849
I'm on it. Okay. Like that, right? So all the

00:03:35.849 --> 00:03:37.990
shorts I do from now on need to be vertical?

00:03:38.270 --> 00:03:40.919
Correct. Okay, I'm on it. That sounds like fun.

00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.479
All right. Well, hold on. We were talking about,

00:03:44.620 --> 00:03:48.699
first of all, our prior podcast. We had Heather

00:03:48.699 --> 00:03:52.159
Liner. Yeah, a wine sommelier. She is really

00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:53.680
the real deal. She's the real deal. If you guys

00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:57.919
haven't listened to the prior podcast that you're

00:03:57.919 --> 00:03:59.580
listening to right now, I recommend you listen

00:03:59.580 --> 00:04:01.430
to it. I mean, she's extremely knowledgeable.

00:04:01.569 --> 00:04:06.110
She was on the podcast prior. Right. And, I mean,

00:04:06.150 --> 00:04:08.310
I got blown up. I mean, we all got blown up.

00:04:08.330 --> 00:04:11.050
I just couldn't talk at the end. You got blown

00:04:11.050 --> 00:04:12.870
up the most. I don't think you ate that day was

00:04:12.870 --> 00:04:14.659
part of the problem. Yeah, I didn't eat today

00:04:14.659 --> 00:04:17.379
either, man, but that's okay. I mean, I walked

00:04:17.379 --> 00:04:19.319
into this with a little bit – I think we all

00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:20.819
walked into this with a little bit of a different

00:04:20.819 --> 00:04:25.319
attitude. I mean, that podcast, we had like a

00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:27.060
sample of the infinity. We were excited to have

00:04:27.060 --> 00:04:29.220
her on, and we were kind of like opening everything

00:04:29.220 --> 00:04:33.720
up. We had three bottles of wine plus the Vixen,

00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:38.550
which was, what, 20 -something percent. So, yeah,

00:04:38.610 --> 00:04:41.269
Sean went nonverbal for about the last 15 minutes.

00:04:41.310 --> 00:04:43.589
I love how getting blown up manifests itself

00:04:43.589 --> 00:04:46.250
differently for each of us. You get quiet. I

00:04:46.250 --> 00:04:49.350
walk home. And what do you do? What do you do,

00:04:49.430 --> 00:04:52.029
Jeff? When you get blown up. I don't know. You

00:04:52.029 --> 00:04:55.029
don't know. You don't remember. I try to stay

00:04:55.029 --> 00:04:57.870
on the couch. I try to stop before I go. I've

00:04:57.870 --> 00:05:00.470
been blown up enough times. I try to stop before

00:05:00.470 --> 00:05:02.829
I get there now. You're probably the best at

00:05:02.829 --> 00:05:04.889
it. I will tell you that. I don't like the feeling

00:05:04.889 --> 00:05:07.910
of getting that drunk anymore. I hear you. Yeah,

00:05:08.110 --> 00:05:12.170
I don't either. It gets old. I like getting the

00:05:12.170 --> 00:05:15.029
buzz and maintaining that. And there's a fine

00:05:15.029 --> 00:05:18.160
line where you go over that. Yes. And I've kind

00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.040
of learned what that line is, and I feel like

00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:23.360
shit if I pass that line. I don't mind getting

00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.879
a little toasty, but nowadays with the whole

00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.540
calorie counting and just really trying to make

00:05:30.540 --> 00:05:35.019
an effort to shed some of this weight, I'm taking

00:05:35.019 --> 00:05:37.259
it a little bit serious. Different approach.

00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:41.120
And it's just because I never realized. Probably

00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:46.639
15, 18 years ago, I was doing... installs for

00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:50.639
Ultra Media, Pat Johnson and his wife. She's

00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.959
so sweet. That's back when I was playing World

00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:58.639
of Warcraft. I was picking up some product because

00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:02.360
they're a small media company, but they do really

00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:04.240
high -tech stuff. They're excellent at what they

00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:05.579
do. I don't think they're in business anymore,

00:06:05.660 --> 00:06:07.939
but that's because he retired. I remember talking

00:06:07.939 --> 00:06:11.600
about how I would drink wine and playing my World

00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:14.620
of Warcraft because I would have a... really

00:06:14.620 --> 00:06:17.759
a five liter box of Franzia Pinot Noir because

00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:20.439
I love wine and she was like oh my god it's so

00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:23.540
many calories and back then it didn't even I

00:06:23.540 --> 00:06:26.720
was like whatever man yeah who cares be quiet

00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.139
what's going on over there and back then it was

00:06:29.139 --> 00:06:31.360
okay because you were burning so many throughout

00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.459
the day yeah I mean it just it didn't affect

00:06:33.459 --> 00:06:37.240
me like this but now now I'm getting it and I

00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:40.810
understand So I need a – that's just – it's something

00:06:40.810 --> 00:06:44.730
new for me. Before, it was quantity, you know,

00:06:44.790 --> 00:06:48.410
because I don't really eat bad. I just eat a

00:06:48.410 --> 00:06:51.209
lot. But now – but what I didn't realize when

00:06:51.209 --> 00:06:53.389
we talked about this before was the nuts. I'm

00:06:53.389 --> 00:06:55.350
eating a lot of nuts, you know, and I just take

00:06:55.350 --> 00:06:57.350
a handful two, three, four times a day. Well,

00:06:57.350 --> 00:06:59.990
shit, that's 1 ,000 calories. Yeah, easy. I make

00:06:59.990 --> 00:07:03.470
little bags of – I measure it out. So there's

00:07:03.470 --> 00:07:05.310
a bag, that snack, I have it once a day. Because

00:07:05.310 --> 00:07:08.209
you can overdo it on nuts. Oh, you can. Like

00:07:08.209 --> 00:07:10.310
the Brazil nuts. If you eat too many of those,

00:07:10.370 --> 00:07:11.790
you can get selenium poisoning. Well, I don't

00:07:11.790 --> 00:07:13.990
like those anyway. Well, I like them. But I know

00:07:13.990 --> 00:07:16.350
Sean takes them. I was reading, okay, can I take

00:07:16.350 --> 00:07:18.269
these? How much can I take of this nut, of this

00:07:18.269 --> 00:07:20.569
nut, of this nut? And I have mixed nuts down

00:07:20.569 --> 00:07:21.990
there, and Brazil nuts was one of them. And it

00:07:21.990 --> 00:07:24.149
says they're high in selenium. No, Costco stopped

00:07:24.149 --> 00:07:27.790
selling that. And you can actually get poison

00:07:27.790 --> 00:07:31.519
from eating too many of those. The max of four

00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.660
a day. You get strontium poisoning. Close. Selenium.

00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:37.500
That's weird. Dr. Barbara O 'Neill says to eat

00:07:37.500 --> 00:07:40.000
five a day. She's not a real doctor, by the way.

00:07:40.220 --> 00:07:43.500
Uh -oh. Just saying. Well, she's not a real doctor

00:07:43.500 --> 00:07:46.879
now. They took away her medical degree. She never

00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:50.160
was a doctor. Who are we talking about? She's

00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.300
a nutritionist, whatever she is. And she's good.

00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:54.519
She got banned in Australia. Oh, that's because

00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:58.009
she was telling the truth. Huh? Doctor who? Dr.

00:07:58.110 --> 00:08:01.129
Barbara O 'Neill. Barbara O 'Neill. Okay. She's

00:08:01.129 --> 00:08:04.629
changed a lot of people's lives forever in a

00:08:04.629 --> 00:08:08.449
positive way. Okay. It's just about what you

00:08:08.449 --> 00:08:10.069
eat, what you should eat. So it's interesting

00:08:10.069 --> 00:08:12.670
that you said you eat five, and she was recommending

00:08:12.670 --> 00:08:17.670
five. Yeah. Well, it was chat BPT or whatever

00:08:17.670 --> 00:08:21.810
it says. Each nut has this much selenium in it.

00:08:21.850 --> 00:08:24.709
Its average, I think, max was four to five a

00:08:24.709 --> 00:08:27.050
day. Right. Otherwise, you start getting toxic.

00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:29.560
Toxic levels of it. I eat a cashew every three

00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:32.740
hours. A cashew. So that's eight a day. Yeah.

00:08:32.940 --> 00:08:37.340
That's a lot. A cashew. Yeah. I mean, what size

00:08:37.340 --> 00:08:39.879
is it? Oh, there's one of those mega ginormous

00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:41.460
ones. Just fucking. The ones that looks like

00:08:41.460 --> 00:08:43.340
a mango. And those actually aren't even nuts.

00:08:43.460 --> 00:08:46.820
Do you know that? They're a seed? They're fruit.

00:08:47.059 --> 00:08:51.080
No shit. Yes. See, I'm eating fruit. Yeah, they're

00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:53.080
fruits. You didn't know that? No, I'm trying

00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:55.320
to wrap my head around that. A cashew is a fruit.

00:08:55.379 --> 00:08:57.440
Yes. It can originate from a fruit called the

00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:00.919
cashew apple, but the part we eat is the C, the

00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:03.080
kidney -shaped droop. So what about the fruit?

00:09:04.419 --> 00:09:09.000
Fruit salad, yummy, yummy. Can you eat the fruit

00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.240
of a cashew? I love cashews, by the way. Oh,

00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:12.720
I do. They're very good. They're high in fat.

00:09:12.980 --> 00:09:16.360
Really? Yeah. Damn it, man. Now, I don't think

00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:19.639
it's horrible fat, but it's more fat content,

00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:22.059
I'd say, than an avocado. You just got to...

00:09:23.529 --> 00:09:25.049
Nuts are very good for you, but you have to really

00:09:25.049 --> 00:09:27.149
control the amount you're eating per day. Yeah.

00:09:27.169 --> 00:09:30.029
A serving is like a quarter cup. That's what

00:09:30.029 --> 00:09:31.769
I do. I have a quarter cup. And you know how

00:09:31.769 --> 00:09:35.049
small that is? It's so unsatisfying. I know.

00:09:35.149 --> 00:09:36.649
You take a little quarter cup and dump it on

00:09:36.649 --> 00:09:38.629
your plate. You're like, seriously? Yeah. I put

00:09:38.629 --> 00:09:40.710
it in a bowl. What am I in trouble? That's what

00:09:40.710 --> 00:09:42.850
I eat. Might be punished. Right. You're like,

00:09:42.950 --> 00:09:44.929
come on, man. That's the way, like, when Paul,

00:09:45.049 --> 00:09:46.610
I go over to his house and he serves me a drink.

00:09:46.669 --> 00:09:50.080
I'm like, really? That's it? And you grab the

00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:52.139
bottle out of my hand. Glug, glug, glug, glug,

00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:56.519
glug, glug, glug. Yes. Get off me, bitch. Those

00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:58.899
things are actually kind of nasty looking. It

00:09:58.899 --> 00:10:02.080
does. I've never heard, I never knew that there

00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:04.019
was a cashew. I want to find out, can you eat

00:10:04.019 --> 00:10:06.000
the actual apple? Yes, you can, but you wouldn't

00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.500
want to. Oh, because they taste, they're astringent

00:10:08.500 --> 00:10:11.480
and sometimes unpalatable. Astringent. Interesting.

00:10:11.899 --> 00:10:14.779
Yep. So, I mean, you could make them into a jam

00:10:14.779 --> 00:10:16.940
if you put enough sugar into it, I suppose. What's

00:10:16.940 --> 00:10:19.059
the point of that? Or alcoholic beverage. Oh,

00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:21.360
okay. Hold on. I'm listening. Maybe they're jamming

00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:24.620
in a Fig Newton. The taste can be a mixture of

00:10:24.620 --> 00:10:26.960
sweet, sour, acidic, and nutty, sometimes compared

00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:30.940
to a blend of mango and peach. Interesting. Gross.

00:10:31.340 --> 00:10:34.700
Huh. I love the cashews. That's a lot of fruit

00:10:34.700 --> 00:10:36.809
to go through to just get one. Yeah, because

00:10:36.809 --> 00:10:38.929
you imagine you have a whole big old batch of

00:10:38.929 --> 00:10:40.549
cashews. I mean, what are they doing with all

00:10:40.549 --> 00:10:42.950
this extra? Yeah. I mean, is it just thrown aside?

00:10:43.309 --> 00:10:45.649
Well, maybe they feed it to like the hogs or

00:10:45.649 --> 00:10:46.889
something. I don't know. Hold on. You're telling

00:10:46.889 --> 00:10:50.370
me they have like a cashew fruit orchard? It's

00:10:50.370 --> 00:10:53.389
a tree, yeah. And they are picking these fruits,

00:10:53.649 --> 00:10:56.929
peeling them off all the shit, taking the seed.

00:10:57.049 --> 00:10:58.669
What's with the noise? Yeah, I don't know. Well,

00:10:58.669 --> 00:11:00.769
the seed's on the outside. You see it? Oh, no,

00:11:00.830 --> 00:11:03.529
no. I didn't. Yeah. Well, that's the noise when

00:11:03.529 --> 00:11:06.360
they de -seed it. Yes. Okay, can we stop clicking?

00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:09.279
I'm not sure why we're clicking. Why'd you have

00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:12.259
to be picking the... Yeah, well, it doesn't sound

00:11:12.259 --> 00:11:14.000
like that. It's not like... Well, we don't know.

00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:16.080
We've never heard cashews being picked. What

00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:18.799
are you, a squirrel? I don't know. Well, I'd

00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:20.600
like to dive into it a little bit more, find

00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.559
out. I had no idea. They are tasty. Show us a

00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:26.559
video of them harvesting cashew fruit. I'm actually

00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:29.600
very intrigued. Right there. And you're saying

00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:33.779
it's on the outside. Yes. Okay. Very interesting.

00:11:33.980 --> 00:11:36.299
All right. This is going to be very informative

00:11:36.299 --> 00:11:38.940
when this comes up. Oh, look at this lady. Look

00:11:38.940 --> 00:11:40.320
at those eyes. I don't know what she's doing.

00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:41.659
She's trying to show a little cleavage, I think.

00:11:41.659 --> 00:11:43.539
She is. And for those of you who have no idea

00:11:43.539 --> 00:11:46.519
what I'm talking about or who I am. Hi, I'm Val.

00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:49.960
I'm a very vegan Val. And this is a cashew apple.

00:11:50.220 --> 00:11:53.080
They can either be yellow or red. And right here

00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:55.419
at the bottom is where the cashew nut grows.

00:11:55.740 --> 00:11:59.519
Every single cashew you've ever eaten. has grown

00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:02.379
on a cashew apple. That is crazy. It is kind

00:12:02.379 --> 00:12:05.440
of bananas to think about the number of cashew

00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:09.360
apples that grew for a bag of cashews. Now, you

00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:11.860
might have noticed that my cashew apples have

00:12:11.860 --> 00:12:14.360
been frozen. That's why they're a little bit

00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:17.840
mushy and wrinkly and occasionally dripping water.

00:12:18.590 --> 00:12:21.370
So I live in New England and not in South America

00:12:21.370 --> 00:12:23.370
or India where they're more common. So she has

00:12:23.370 --> 00:12:26.330
a plate of them. They look like kind of a yellow

00:12:26.330 --> 00:12:29.110
sweet potato thing with an oversized cashew.

00:12:29.149 --> 00:12:32.730
So do they peel the cashew shell back? The shell

00:12:32.730 --> 00:12:37.129
is toxic. Go a little bit further down the line.

00:12:37.230 --> 00:12:40.970
There's a shell around that nut. Now she's got

00:12:40.970 --> 00:12:43.129
the cutting board. Good, good, good. Sometimes

00:12:43.129 --> 00:12:45.429
you can usually just twist them off, but because

00:12:45.429 --> 00:12:49.220
it's frozen. Looks like a brain. It does kind

00:12:49.220 --> 00:12:53.679
of look bulbous and moist. A lot of effort for

00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:56.259
one cachet. They must have machines that go...

00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:59.299
And interestingly, you can't actually eat that

00:12:59.299 --> 00:13:02.220
cashew yet. Inside the shell, there's a toxic

00:13:02.220 --> 00:13:05.259
substance that's similar to poison ivy. So you

00:13:05.259 --> 00:13:07.320
really want to avoid ingesting it or getting

00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:08.720
it on your hands. Poison ivy? Looks like the

00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:12.620
cashew has a... Yeah, the toxic inside that's

00:13:12.620 --> 00:13:14.899
similar to poison ivy. I also made sure to cut

00:13:14.899 --> 00:13:17.179
off the part of... Who learned how to eat this

00:13:17.179 --> 00:13:19.899
first? The cashew apple that directly touched

00:13:19.899 --> 00:13:23.809
where the nut was? Because it is similar to poison

00:13:23.809 --> 00:13:27.149
ivy. Hey, Mikey, he likes it. He'll cut open

00:13:27.149 --> 00:13:30.070
anything. I actually just got my first poison

00:13:30.070 --> 00:13:33.529
ivy rash like a week ago. I want to see them

00:13:33.529 --> 00:13:37.169
de -shell it. Did she just eat that? I don't

00:13:37.169 --> 00:13:39.190
know. I think she is eating that. I think she

00:13:39.190 --> 00:13:43.350
might be. She's kind of fruity. She just blended

00:13:43.350 --> 00:13:47.379
it. Oh, the apple. Oh, and now she's... Now she's

00:13:47.379 --> 00:13:49.940
outside with... She's got sunglasses on. Oh,

00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.879
my God. Damn it. Now I got an ad. Living Spaces.

00:13:53.019 --> 00:13:56.580
Living Spaces. They have cheap beer. Oh, they

00:13:56.580 --> 00:13:58.559
do? My understanding is that the key is going

00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.200
to be roasting them. And in the process, they

00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:03.940
give off a lot of flammable gas. So you have

00:14:03.940 --> 00:14:09.440
to do this outside. Like shots of ice. She's

00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.929
kind of juggy. I do want to stress that I have

00:14:13.929 --> 00:14:16.169
no idea what I'm doing. And this is absolutely

00:14:16.169 --> 00:14:20.649
not a tutorial. It is an experiment. Okay, so

00:14:20.649 --> 00:14:23.830
she's got on top of a grill. So she's got four

00:14:23.830 --> 00:14:28.850
nuts. She's roasting them. She really is. You

00:14:28.850 --> 00:14:32.769
know, not really. Just got a smoking. And they're

00:14:32.769 --> 00:14:35.750
getting black. I was expecting them to like blow

00:14:35.750 --> 00:14:42.950
up. This is fascinating, actually. She's going

00:14:42.950 --> 00:14:46.549
to eat those in two seconds. Well, yeah, there's

00:14:46.549 --> 00:14:48.850
only four of them. But they're ginormous. That's

00:14:48.850 --> 00:14:53.029
why they cost $10 a pound. Here we go. She has

00:14:53.029 --> 00:14:55.090
a little hammer. Oh, my gosh. She does have a

00:14:55.090 --> 00:15:05.950
hammer. Should have used a thermometer. Yeah,

00:15:05.950 --> 00:15:10.909
a little meter. Whoa. What the hell are those?

00:15:12.789 --> 00:15:16.610
Pistachios. Looks like toenails. What kind of

00:15:16.610 --> 00:15:19.409
toenails do you have there? Old people toenails.

00:15:19.590 --> 00:15:22.789
This has been so enlightening. I had no freaking

00:15:22.789 --> 00:15:26.250
idea. Now you know. You know how often this shit

00:15:26.250 --> 00:15:28.710
is like this where we have no idea where this

00:15:28.710 --> 00:15:31.169
stuff comes from? Any of these type of things.

00:15:31.710 --> 00:15:34.450
Did you know that? How did you know that? I knew

00:15:34.450 --> 00:15:37.669
that. You grew up on a - Thailand, where the

00:15:37.669 --> 00:15:39.889
cashews grow. Yeah, a cashew farm. Yeah, he would

00:15:39.889 --> 00:15:43.549
harvest those cashew apples and he sous vide

00:15:43.549 --> 00:15:46.190
them. Yes. How did you know? How did you know?

00:15:46.250 --> 00:15:49.389
I was watching some documentary program and it

00:15:49.389 --> 00:15:52.269
was on there. Like how things are made? Something

00:15:52.269 --> 00:15:53.210
like that, probably. Where things come from?

00:15:53.250 --> 00:15:55.049
I think it was. Where things come from? Probably.

00:15:55.049 --> 00:15:57.330
It was a Lady Gaga song that went through the

00:15:57.330 --> 00:16:00.090
history of - We got cashews. On the cashew, yeah.

00:16:00.230 --> 00:16:03.230
On the History Channel. Yes. I watch stupid documentaries

00:16:03.230 --> 00:16:05.889
like that. That's cool. That's where I get that

00:16:05.889 --> 00:16:07.669
shit. I love documentaries like that. Well, they

00:16:07.669 --> 00:16:09.830
have how things are made, right? Where things

00:16:09.830 --> 00:16:12.210
come from. Some like that. I mean, YouTube is,

00:16:12.210 --> 00:16:16.289
look, I don't, nobody really, it's fun to go

00:16:16.289 --> 00:16:18.669
down these rabbit holes or what do they call

00:16:18.669 --> 00:16:20.210
it? Death dives. What do they call it? Death

00:16:20.210 --> 00:16:21.929
scrolling. Death scrolling. You can death scroll

00:16:21.929 --> 00:16:24.570
through these little Instagram stuff and YouTube

00:16:24.570 --> 00:16:28.440
stuff, but man, I really, love hitting those

00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:30.419
YouTube documentaries. Whatever they are. They

00:16:30.419 --> 00:16:33.039
could be anything. I haven't seen this one. That

00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:36.159
was interesting. Okay. Use your mind to like

00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:42.519
Tibet and you know. Tibet. Just Tibet? Random.

00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:48.600
Man, that takes me back to my Tibet days. I mean,

00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:50.179
I'm just talking about, you know, just old school

00:16:50.179 --> 00:16:54.580
history. The land before time. Crystal skulls.

00:16:54.580 --> 00:16:57.059
Like what, dinosaurs? And Tibet. Crystal skulls.

00:16:57.059 --> 00:16:58.399
Well, you know, I mean, there's a lot of fun

00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:00.419
shit out there. You are all over the place right

00:17:00.419 --> 00:17:04.640
now. Cambodia. Kind of like narco boats. Well,

00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:06.619
dude, I mean, now you see the video of that.

00:17:06.700 --> 00:17:09.059
I mean, I saw a little clip before the podcast

00:17:09.059 --> 00:17:13.619
started. So what started this? When did Trump

00:17:13.619 --> 00:17:15.960
make or did the administration make some sort

00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:18.440
of announcement saying, hey, man, we're drawing

00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:19.920
a line in the sand? Yeah, well, they declared

00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:23.759
cartels. terrorist organization so they could

00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:26.359
use the military against them, right? They moved

00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:30.240
a whole fleet of ships down to the... Outside

00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:33.799
of Venezuela. To go pick these fuckers off. This

00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:37.680
one got through and in the Caribbean, as you

00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:40.279
can see from this nice military video, they just

00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:42.359
torched the shit out of it. Yeah, they missiled

00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:45.559
it. It doesn't look like a huge missile, but

00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:47.539
it's enough to basically kill everyone on board.

00:17:48.350 --> 00:17:49.690
Destroy whatever's on the side. Do you think

00:17:49.690 --> 00:17:51.509
the missile cost more than the drugs that were

00:17:51.509 --> 00:17:54.529
inside of it? I don't know. Those drugs are pretty

00:17:54.529 --> 00:17:56.890
expensive. Yeah, they are. I don't know. What

00:17:56.890 --> 00:17:58.430
kind of missile was it? I mean, it was something

00:17:58.430 --> 00:18:00.690
that happened. It incinerated everything. It

00:18:00.690 --> 00:18:03.430
doesn't look huge, but it looks very flammable.

00:18:04.089 --> 00:18:06.250
Like they dropped some napalm on it or something.

00:18:06.950 --> 00:18:09.670
Boom. Like the boat didn't get destroyed. No,

00:18:09.710 --> 00:18:11.430
it really didn't. It didn't explode into a million

00:18:11.430 --> 00:18:13.069
pieces like you would expect when a missile hits

00:18:13.069 --> 00:18:14.569
something. That's true. It's just everything.

00:18:14.970 --> 00:18:16.950
Instantly catches on fire. So good. They used

00:18:16.950 --> 00:18:19.269
a cheaper missile. That's what we wanted. I think

00:18:19.269 --> 00:18:20.930
they just dropped a Molotov cocktail just outside

00:18:20.930 --> 00:18:24.670
of a helicopter. Kind of like, to the left! To

00:18:24.670 --> 00:18:26.970
the left! A little bit more to the left! I missed!

00:18:27.309 --> 00:18:29.269
No, they were throwing those flammable cashews

00:18:29.269 --> 00:18:33.670
out the way. They're zigzagging. Damn it. Flaming

00:18:33.670 --> 00:18:37.460
nuts. The turkeys, they're falling. Oh, the humanity.

00:18:38.619 --> 00:18:41.940
Turkeys. Okay. Less than this one. Yes. From

00:18:41.940 --> 00:18:45.200
WKRP. Yeah, so I think this is fucking great.

00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:47.980
I like the message it sends. So basically, these

00:18:47.980 --> 00:18:50.200
cartels probably didn't think anything was going

00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:52.579
to happen. Well, now they do. Now they know something's

00:18:52.579 --> 00:18:55.119
going to happen to these. And I still think that

00:18:55.119 --> 00:19:00.279
these cartels are adjusting to the whole new

00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:02.359
border because most of their money came from

00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:05.180
human trafficking over the last, Biden years,

00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:07.220
right? They were making billions of dollars off

00:19:07.220 --> 00:19:09.640
human trafficking. Well, that's pretty much drying

00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:14.599
up. So they're looking for ways to get that business

00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:18.440
back. And I heard that they're starting to go

00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:22.240
out into the Gulf and come up through the coastlines.

00:19:22.500 --> 00:19:25.039
Right. And I guess they're sending the Coast

00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:27.619
Guard down there. I don't know about the Navy,

00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:29.319
but the Coast Guard. There were these boats.

00:19:29.420 --> 00:19:33.079
They would just literally just kamikaze the beach.

00:19:33.589 --> 00:19:35.430
That was in San Diego. There's footage of that.

00:19:35.490 --> 00:19:37.390
Yeah. They literally get in their boat, and they

00:19:37.390 --> 00:19:39.029
haul ass straight to the shore, and whoop, they

00:19:39.029 --> 00:19:41.410
pull up, and I think they were - Like 10 guys

00:19:41.410 --> 00:19:43.009
almost get out and sprint into the city. The

00:19:43.009 --> 00:19:44.910
problem with that is they're going to use, if

00:19:44.910 --> 00:19:46.589
they're going to continue to smuggle humans,

00:19:46.789 --> 00:19:48.809
which you're saying they're looking for different

00:19:48.809 --> 00:19:50.569
ways to do that, they're going to use them as

00:19:50.569 --> 00:19:53.930
human shields. We're not going to blow up boats

00:19:53.930 --> 00:19:56.750
that have humans on them. Well, there are humans

00:19:56.750 --> 00:19:58.750
on that. Well, no. You know what I mean. Like

00:19:58.750 --> 00:20:01.069
Americans. Not the people they're smuggling,

00:20:01.190 --> 00:20:04.579
right? But I don't know. Man, it's a mess. Is

00:20:04.579 --> 00:20:06.200
he going to raise the stakes on this thing? Because,

00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:08.500
you know, these cartels are kind of crazy. So

00:20:08.500 --> 00:20:11.039
are they going to try to go toe -to -toe with

00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:12.599
some of these military operations? I don't think

00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:15.039
so because they have nothing like the U .S. military.

00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:16.539
Of course they don't, but they can cause some

00:20:16.539 --> 00:20:18.519
damage. Sure they can. They still have lots of

00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:22.779
money. They got some weapons. I think we already

00:20:22.779 --> 00:20:27.420
have assets local. On the ground in Mexico? Absolutely.

00:20:28.220 --> 00:20:32.269
We have assets local. We would have to. If you

00:20:32.269 --> 00:20:35.529
put a tier one team in there, SEAL team, whatever,

00:20:35.730 --> 00:20:37.950
they're going to go in there and clean house.

00:20:38.089 --> 00:20:40.990
These cartels, yes, they're mean, they're nasty,

00:20:41.049 --> 00:20:42.150
they have training, but they're nothing like

00:20:42.150 --> 00:20:44.329
these tier one teams. Of course not. Of course

00:20:44.329 --> 00:20:46.700
not. I'm just thinking. is it going to be tit

00:20:46.700 --> 00:20:48.259
for tat, right? If they're going to say, oh,

00:20:48.299 --> 00:20:49.759
you're going to blow up my boats, we're going

00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:51.460
to... Yeah, well, we're going to go to Cancun

00:20:51.460 --> 00:20:54.039
and kill a bunch of United States citizens. Or

00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:56.779
they're going to blow up, you know, set up a

00:20:56.779 --> 00:20:58.380
bomb in El Paso. But they're hurting themselves

00:20:58.380 --> 00:21:01.240
because they're going to cut down. Look, the

00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:03.680
majority of money that Mexico makes comes from

00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:06.099
us. Right. Unless China's paying them to make

00:21:06.099 --> 00:21:07.859
their factories down there. But I think we're

00:21:07.859 --> 00:21:10.160
starting to cut those people out too. I mean,

00:21:10.180 --> 00:21:13.299
I love... I don't want to say everything, but

00:21:13.299 --> 00:21:16.440
I love what Trump is doing. The Panama Canal

00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:19.400
and kicking China out? Yeah. Who the fuck do

00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:21.039
they think they were taking over that anyway?

00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:24.519
What's the latest on that? I heard something

00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:26.519
fell through and China's getting a foothold again.

00:21:26.779 --> 00:21:28.859
Are they? Is what I heard. I haven't heard anything

00:21:28.859 --> 00:21:31.799
ever since. Right at the very beginning, was

00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:33.660
that January or whenever the hell that was coming

00:21:33.660 --> 00:21:38.480
down? I don't know what the latest on that is.

00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:42.980
Yeah, I don't know either. Yeah, we'll have to

00:21:42.980 --> 00:21:44.640
do that. We'll have to do a little digging on

00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:46.740
this one. Yeah, check that out and come back

00:21:46.740 --> 00:21:49.700
to it when you get something for us. So where

00:21:49.700 --> 00:21:51.960
did you, did you read that on Breitbart? Yeah,

00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:56.539
I just remember, like, at first, Trump, the administration

00:21:56.539 --> 00:21:58.539
was trying to broker a deal to where China was

00:21:58.539 --> 00:22:00.519
going to sell their stake in something to another

00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:03.339
company, and then that was going to solve the

00:22:03.339 --> 00:22:05.400
problem. China was going to get out of it, and

00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:08.299
then that fell through. I heard that we went

00:22:08.299 --> 00:22:11.380
there and said, you got to go. And they left

00:22:11.380 --> 00:22:15.079
because they don't own it. Panama didn't have

00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:18.539
the authority to let the China occupy the Panama

00:22:18.539 --> 00:22:22.680
Canal. I thought they did. We officially handed

00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:26.180
it over to them. Well, we officially commandeered

00:22:26.180 --> 00:22:29.440
it from what I understood. We paid for it. United

00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:31.759
States taxpayers paid for that. Well, I think

00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:35.759
what they were saying is the Panamanians were

00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:39.470
charging the U .S. ships like... Ten times more

00:22:39.470 --> 00:22:41.509
than what everyone else was paying. And then

00:22:41.509 --> 00:22:44.170
China denied that. Correct. Whoever was running

00:22:44.170 --> 00:22:45.910
the... Go up a little bit. I just saw something.

00:22:45.970 --> 00:22:48.769
China issues new threats to block Panama Canal

00:22:48.769 --> 00:22:53.269
ports. That was July of this year. They're threatening

00:22:53.269 --> 00:22:55.609
to block a deal that would transfer ownership

00:22:55.609 --> 00:22:58.930
of dozens of seaports, including two ports at

00:22:58.930 --> 00:23:01.569
the Panama Canal. So they're trying to work a

00:23:01.569 --> 00:23:06.109
deal that would get China out of it. And I don't

00:23:06.109 --> 00:23:09.609
think it's happened. So, interesting. Fuck around

00:23:09.609 --> 00:23:12.069
and find out. That seems to be the common denominator

00:23:12.069 --> 00:23:14.930
right now. That's right. BlackRock was going

00:23:14.930 --> 00:23:19.430
to take it on. Really? Yep. A shareholder of

00:23:19.430 --> 00:23:21.450
the ports with BlackRock and Mediterranean Shipping

00:23:21.450 --> 00:23:25.630
Company, a container ship operator. Interesting.

00:23:25.849 --> 00:23:27.609
So, yeah, they're trying to work out something.

00:23:27.809 --> 00:23:30.670
I don't know. It's all shady. It's always shady.

00:23:31.900 --> 00:23:33.619
I don't know, man. There's tons of money in this

00:23:33.619 --> 00:23:35.500
thing. Well, BlackRock's probably going to take

00:23:35.500 --> 00:23:37.059
over it, and they're going to charge just as

00:23:37.059 --> 00:23:40.759
much. Right, or more. Yeah. I don't know. And

00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:45.299
then they have their teeth in it, and plus they

00:23:45.299 --> 00:23:48.140
probably have a stake or contacts within our

00:23:48.140 --> 00:23:51.200
Congress, which will pass laws. Man, this whole

00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:53.160
thing is a scam. I don't trust any of it. I don't

00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:55.730
believe any of them. Yeah, so he goes into some

00:23:55.730 --> 00:23:56.950
detail here. I don't know if we want to read

00:23:56.950 --> 00:23:58.670
all this, but basically they're trying to work

00:23:58.670 --> 00:24:01.430
out a deal to where China sells their stake.

00:24:01.690 --> 00:24:04.730
For $23 billion. Yes. It's a lot. They're going

00:24:04.730 --> 00:24:06.309
to make their money on this. But who they're

00:24:06.309 --> 00:24:08.710
selling it to, I don't know. I don't know if

00:24:08.710 --> 00:24:13.430
it's better for us. 43 ports in 23 countries?

00:24:13.950 --> 00:24:17.180
Yeah, and why is that the case? I mean, why are

00:24:17.180 --> 00:24:19.319
they expanding this to be such a massive deal

00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:21.680
here? They want China out of everything? I guess,

00:24:21.779 --> 00:24:23.859
maybe, I don't know. Well, it encompasses 43

00:24:23.859 --> 00:24:28.640
ports in 23 countries. Is that what I mean? Why

00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:31.559
is it such a big, why are they expanding this

00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:33.980
to be way beyond Panama, right? I don't know.

00:24:34.019 --> 00:24:35.660
I don't know. Maybe I'm just reading just portions

00:24:35.660 --> 00:24:37.200
of this. I need to read the whole thing to understand.

00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:39.920
Yeah, it's pretty convoluted. All right, we'll

00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:41.539
get back to it. We'll get back to it. All right,

00:24:41.539 --> 00:24:44.130
but hey. It's September. There's a lot of exciting

00:24:44.130 --> 00:24:46.450
things happening right now. Football. I'm excited

00:24:46.450 --> 00:24:48.250
about college football. Yes, college football

00:24:48.250 --> 00:24:50.630
has officially started up. The NFL starts up

00:24:50.630 --> 00:24:53.930
this coming weekend. Thursday. Dallas Cowboys

00:24:53.930 --> 00:24:55.750
are playing Thursday night. Yeah, that's right.

00:24:55.950 --> 00:24:57.670
Is this the Hall of Fame game? The Screaming

00:24:57.670 --> 00:25:00.430
Eagles, yeah. Okay. No, the Hall of Fame game

00:25:00.430 --> 00:25:02.349
is the first preseason game. This is just the

00:25:02.349 --> 00:25:04.450
kickoff. Oh, just the kickoff of the regular

00:25:04.450 --> 00:25:06.309
season. Okay, I got you. And there'll be games

00:25:06.309 --> 00:25:10.549
Thursday night and then regular. Beautiful. So

00:25:10.549 --> 00:25:12.210
the next podcast, we can start talking about

00:25:12.210 --> 00:25:13.690
things that are happening in the NFL because

00:25:13.690 --> 00:25:16.390
we just had our draft, and we all did excellent

00:25:16.390 --> 00:25:19.869
on our drafts. I got an A -plus again. I don't

00:25:19.869 --> 00:25:21.769
know what grade you got. I don't think that matters.

00:25:21.890 --> 00:25:25.910
I got a C. I think I got a D or D -minus. I don't

00:25:25.910 --> 00:25:28.210
even know. Barry said you got a D. There were

00:25:28.210 --> 00:25:30.109
a lot of bad ones this year. There were five

00:25:30.109 --> 00:25:34.369
Ds out of the 12. I was like, what? Crazy. Yeah,

00:25:34.390 --> 00:25:36.650
I don't believe it because I was reading – well,

00:25:36.750 --> 00:25:38.869
I mean, I believe it says that I had a D. But

00:25:38.869 --> 00:25:41.589
it was saying stuff that's not true. I mean,

00:25:41.690 --> 00:25:44.349
you know, they were saying I drafted, you know,

00:25:44.349 --> 00:25:46.309
three cornerbacks. And I was like, I didn't draft

00:25:46.309 --> 00:25:48.490
three cornerbacks. I have a receiver that plays

00:25:48.490 --> 00:25:50.930
both positions. So I'm thinking, you know, part

00:25:50.930 --> 00:25:52.630
of that fed into it. So it is saying that. And,

00:25:52.630 --> 00:25:54.730
you know, plus there's two – one of my players

00:25:54.730 --> 00:25:57.809
isn't starting yet, you know, or he hasn't been

00:25:57.809 --> 00:25:59.849
signed yet. And I think that has something to

00:25:59.849 --> 00:26:01.670
do with it. Whatever. Oh, there's always some

00:26:01.670 --> 00:26:07.799
– First off, it's kind of witty, and it's so

00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:10.579
harsh. Oh, I know it is. It's so mean. It is.

00:26:10.579 --> 00:26:14.019
The AI -generated draft score, they're so mean.

00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:16.460
I mean, I got an A +, and still it told me, oh,

00:26:16.619 --> 00:26:19.180
the worst pick was Baker Mayfield. Not sure what

00:26:19.180 --> 00:26:20.700
you were thinking there. I was like, what the

00:26:20.700 --> 00:26:24.700
hell, man? Even in an A +, it gives me some shitty

00:26:24.700 --> 00:26:27.819
comment. I had half my team was in the top 10.

00:26:29.060 --> 00:26:31.700
I know. It doesn't mean anything. We all know

00:26:31.700 --> 00:26:34.220
that. By the way, what are your feelings on first

00:26:34.220 --> 00:26:37.900
pick, last pick, mid pick? I have had the first

00:26:37.900 --> 00:26:42.500
pick several times. Yes. I mean, it's bittersweet.

00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:44.779
Yeah, I get the first pick, but it's not always

00:26:44.779 --> 00:26:46.259
great because I remember that one year where

00:26:46.259 --> 00:26:49.680
I had Ezekiel Elliott, and he did poo -poo. I'm

00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:51.559
not a big fan of it. Well, you have one pick,

00:26:51.660 --> 00:26:54.809
and you've got to wait. 11, and then 11 more.

00:26:54.890 --> 00:26:56.650
So you've got to wait 22 picks before your next

00:26:56.650 --> 00:26:59.490
pick. I'm not a big fan of the first pick. No.

00:26:59.769 --> 00:27:03.470
I'm not a big fan. So here's the opening of my

00:27:03.470 --> 00:27:07.549
grade. Well, well, well, if it isn't Alpha Mike

00:27:07.549 --> 00:27:10.309
Foxtrot coming in hot with a draft grade of C

00:27:10.309 --> 00:27:14.630
-. They snagged the seventh pick in a 12 -team

00:27:14.630 --> 00:27:16.930
league, which means they had a decent shot at

00:27:16.930 --> 00:27:19.750
some big names. Unfortunately. It seems like

00:27:19.750 --> 00:27:21.730
they might have taken a few wrong turns on the

00:27:21.730 --> 00:27:24.950
way to the fantasy promised land. Nice. Yeah,

00:27:24.990 --> 00:27:26.589
I think every single one of them were critical.

00:27:26.869 --> 00:27:29.849
Why can't they make this thing positive or uplifting?

00:27:29.849 --> 00:27:32.769
Debbie Downer. No shit. I just want it to blow

00:27:32.769 --> 00:27:36.990
smoke up your ass. Yes, that's exactly what we

00:27:36.990 --> 00:27:40.339
want. We don't want to be made fools of. Actually,

00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:44.480
I think it's fun banter. But I think they need

00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:47.579
to balance it out with some positives. You want

00:27:47.579 --> 00:27:49.519
to know the secret to getting a good grade? Put

00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:52.140
it on Autodraft. They will love the whole thing

00:27:52.140 --> 00:27:56.539
because they picked it themselves. I'm convinced

00:27:56.539 --> 00:27:59.740
that's what Barry's doing. I haven't seen him

00:27:59.740 --> 00:28:02.720
over there, but he's logging things into Yahoo

00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:06.000
as they go. Right? Yeah, he's putting them into

00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:08.259
the teams, so it makes it easier to start the

00:28:08.259 --> 00:28:12.039
league for all of us. It's been my experience,

00:28:12.220 --> 00:28:13.940
not necessarily with Yahoo, because I haven't

00:28:13.940 --> 00:28:17.920
done it, but with ESPN, when you are doing that...

00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:21.000
Yeah, I'll show you the next one. It'll give

00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:23.640
you highlights of what should be your next pick.

00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:27.079
Yeah, I can promise you he does not. I'm not

00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:29.440
saying he does or doesn't, but I mean... Shuttle

00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:31.880
that we're talking. How come we can't all have

00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:34.160
our computers there and all be logged into Yahoo

00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:36.720
and do it that way? We've talked about it. Is

00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:41.240
there a fight against that? I just think nobody's

00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:43.579
taken a step to see if that can be something.

00:28:43.619 --> 00:28:46.519
Well, here's a benefit for that. So this year

00:28:46.519 --> 00:28:48.559
we had a bunch of people bitching and moaning

00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:51.759
because of schedules, right? People were traveling

00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:53.900
and this or that. And if we're on our laptops,

00:28:54.099 --> 00:28:55.720
if someone couldn't make it, they could sit wherever

00:28:55.720 --> 00:29:00.380
they wanted and join via. We run the risk of

00:29:00.380 --> 00:29:02.660
everybody starting to do that, and then we no

00:29:02.660 --> 00:29:04.680
longer have an in -person draft, which everybody

00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:08.240
loves. The people that don't love it just don't

00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:10.460
show up. I mean, we would still show up, and

00:29:10.460 --> 00:29:13.119
we're the really people that only matter. And

00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:15.279
be honest, Barry's in Durango. Do you think he's

00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:17.920
going to be showing up for the next one? I think

00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:19.799
he'll always show up for the draft, yeah. I think

00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:22.019
he will. I don't know. I hope Barry does. I like

00:29:22.019 --> 00:29:24.750
Barry. I'm just saying it's an option. Hey, I

00:29:24.750 --> 00:29:27.990
got to be out of town, but I can make the draft

00:29:27.990 --> 00:29:30.950
if I can be online. It would cure a lot of the

00:29:30.950 --> 00:29:34.069
15. I mean, we'll still have our pages, but to

00:29:34.069 --> 00:29:36.849
search for players, you know. It's tricky. You

00:29:36.849 --> 00:29:38.930
know what I mean? Because, look, honestly, I

00:29:38.930 --> 00:29:40.970
printed off a bunch of shit, and I was like,

00:29:41.049 --> 00:29:44.069
this is not going to work. I have to have bigger

00:29:44.069 --> 00:29:47.009
font, you know. And that was a struggle. So I

00:29:47.009 --> 00:29:49.450
had a literally groomed mind. Will you go like

00:29:49.450 --> 00:29:53.299
this? I had a group mind. I had to copy and paste

00:29:53.299 --> 00:29:56.819
it, retype a bunch of stuff. And even with that,

00:29:56.940 --> 00:29:59.240
it was still a struggle. I had tiny little font,

00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:02.380
and thank God for my trifocal glasses because,

00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:04.279
oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. No, I wouldn't have been

00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:07.200
able to see shit. I did a pretty good job on

00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:09.539
this draft in terms of keeping track of where

00:30:09.539 --> 00:30:10.819
the people were and crossing the mountain. And

00:30:10.819 --> 00:30:12.940
you're on phone with Linda. Yeah, she was in

00:30:12.940 --> 00:30:14.880
my hearing aids. I tell you what, the most trouble

00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:17.460
I have is when we start getting into the later

00:30:17.460 --> 00:30:20.460
rounds, 13, 15, because people really start jumping

00:30:20.460 --> 00:30:24.180
up and down the players at that point. I just

00:30:24.180 --> 00:30:26.539
don't know why we have to go so fast. If you

00:30:26.539 --> 00:30:30.440
don't want to get frustrated towards the end

00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:32.940
of the draft about people saying, oh, he's already

00:30:32.940 --> 00:30:34.640
been taken, oh, he's already been taken, then

00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:37.700
give everybody the chance to find the player.

00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:40.779
Yeah, just let everybody find the player. But

00:30:40.779 --> 00:30:43.740
Barry's like, come on, come on, come on. I'm

00:30:43.740 --> 00:30:45.299
like, dude. Well, he doesn't have to deal with

00:30:45.299 --> 00:30:47.579
it because he just checks it off on the Yahoo

00:30:47.579 --> 00:30:50.440
website. He doesn't have to keep track of it.

00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:52.299
I don't know if he's crossing off on a piece

00:30:52.299 --> 00:30:54.140
of paper or not. But he knows if they're taken

00:30:54.140 --> 00:30:57.180
or not. Yeah, I guess. Well, then he would have

00:30:57.180 --> 00:30:58.880
to type in their names to see if they're taken

00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:02.019
or not. He remembers a lot of shit. I think he

00:31:02.019 --> 00:31:05.940
just. He memorizes who's been taken. He's kind

00:31:05.940 --> 00:31:07.759
of like you. He's an elephant where he just freaking

00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:11.160
remembers everything. But we just need more time

00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:14.220
to cross the people off the list. Anyway, highlights

00:31:14.220 --> 00:31:16.039
from college football. We had our first weekend.

00:31:16.700 --> 00:31:19.680
Arch Manning apparently got torched in terms

00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:21.180
of his performance. Yeah, I was very excited.

00:31:21.380 --> 00:31:24.759
I'm a big Ohio State fan, so I watched the Buckeye

00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:29.180
and Longhorn game. It was a decent game, not

00:31:29.180 --> 00:31:32.670
real offensive. Both defenses were very, very

00:31:32.670 --> 00:31:35.829
stout. Yes, and apparently Arch Manning's offense

00:31:35.829 --> 00:31:40.650
was panned very harshly. They did not look good.

00:31:41.089 --> 00:31:44.089
I'm not saying Ohio State was blazing, but they

00:31:44.089 --> 00:31:47.529
looked better than Texas did. And I don't know

00:31:47.529 --> 00:31:49.769
if that's because maybe Ohio State's defense

00:31:49.769 --> 00:31:52.730
is better, but Texas' defense looked really good

00:31:52.730 --> 00:31:56.230
as well. So it could be just two really strong

00:31:56.230 --> 00:31:57.849
– we'll have to see what they're going to do

00:31:57.849 --> 00:32:00.799
the next few games, right? Yeah. I guess the

00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:04.059
one good thing is you don't – I know a lot of

00:32:04.059 --> 00:32:08.680
teams put an easy opponent in the first couple

00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:11.579
games. Those two games. They didn't. Normally

00:32:11.579 --> 00:32:15.259
they do. And I know they want to tweak their

00:32:15.259 --> 00:32:16.740
offense and tweak their defense so that when

00:32:16.740 --> 00:32:18.319
they're playing good teams, they're ready for

00:32:18.319 --> 00:32:20.559
them. This game is not going to hurt either one

00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:22.180
of them too much because it was one in three.

00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:25.920
So they're not going to really affect their rankings.

00:32:26.500 --> 00:32:29.059
But my point is this. I think they just flipped.

00:32:29.420 --> 00:32:31.960
Yeah, they just flipped. And my point is, Texas

00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:35.339
may go, I mean, Arch Manning may go off in the

00:32:35.339 --> 00:32:37.779
next couple weeks. Right. And then they go, they

00:32:37.779 --> 00:32:39.680
look back at this and they say, damn, if we had

00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:42.839
played Ohio State, if we had played Ohio State

00:32:42.839 --> 00:32:44.500
when we were clicking like we are, we would have

00:32:44.500 --> 00:32:47.380
crushed them. I mean, he had 170 yards passing.

00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:49.819
Right. One touchdown. I mean, that's a success

00:32:49.819 --> 00:32:53.460
in NFL. I mean, not the 170, but you know. But

00:32:53.460 --> 00:32:56.750
A, there was a lot of. preseason hype on this

00:32:56.750 --> 00:33:01.089
guy, right? Oh, huge hype. And then B, if you

00:33:01.089 --> 00:33:03.390
looked at those passes, they were not accurate.

00:33:03.609 --> 00:33:06.789
Yeah, they weren't good. They were comparing

00:33:06.789 --> 00:33:10.569
him to the Napoleon Dynamite's brother where

00:33:10.569 --> 00:33:13.710
he was throwing the sidearm. Well, his first

00:33:13.710 --> 00:33:20.670
pass skipped off the ground and went to the receiver.

00:33:21.210 --> 00:33:27.339
That doesn't count? It's like ping pong. But

00:33:27.339 --> 00:33:29.660
they had a lot of bad calls from what I saw.

00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:32.140
I mean, there were catches that should have been

00:33:32.140 --> 00:33:34.819
touchdowns, I thought. And it's just like, are

00:33:34.819 --> 00:33:36.000
you kidding me? What was the game? I watched

00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:38.980
the A &M game. What was the game? The guy was

00:33:38.980 --> 00:33:41.059
right in the end zone. Not the end zone, but

00:33:41.059 --> 00:33:43.480
he was right at the three -yard line. He catches

00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:45.700
it, and it's like, all right, he caught it. He

00:33:45.700 --> 00:33:48.180
took a step, and then he's in the end zone. The

00:33:48.180 --> 00:33:50.480
ball was over the line. Why wasn't it a touchdown?

00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:52.240
I didn't get it. They called him down at the

00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:55.400
one. Yeah, by the one -inch line. Well, Florida

00:33:55.400 --> 00:33:58.880
State's running upset over Alabama. That was

00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:01.140
probably the most talked -about upset, wasn't

00:34:01.140 --> 00:34:03.539
it? I'm a fan of that. Florida State beating

00:34:03.539 --> 00:34:06.819
Alabama. I know folks hate Ohio State just as

00:34:06.819 --> 00:34:10.320
much as they do Alabama. I'm tired of hearing,

00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:12.360
especially maybe it's because where we live maybe,

00:34:12.539 --> 00:34:16.639
about how great SEC is, how great Alabama is.

00:34:16.739 --> 00:34:18.719
It's the best ever. When Saban was there, they

00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:20.960
were damn good. Yeah, they're sliding. And they're

00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:23.940
sliding quick. Right. And I like seeing these

00:34:23.940 --> 00:34:27.980
fans, I don't know. Back to reality. Correct.

00:34:28.519 --> 00:34:31.039
Suffer. Correct. I kind of feel that way about

00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:33.980
the Chiefs right now. Did you see the meme with

00:34:33.980 --> 00:34:37.239
the kid up in the stands? And this was on live

00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:41.559
TV, and it was an Alabama student. And the camera

00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:43.739
comes to him, and they're down by two touchdowns,

00:34:43.739 --> 00:34:46.059
and he gives the camera to the bird. Yeah. Really?

00:34:46.679 --> 00:34:50.380
Oh, dude. So they're bitter. Ooh. Yeah, they're

00:34:50.380 --> 00:34:54.119
bitter. Anyway, so yeah, so that was... Oh, there

00:34:54.119 --> 00:35:01.139
it is right there. No way. Oh, greatness. Cut,

00:35:01.139 --> 00:35:03.280
cut. Some dude with a blue shirt just kissed

00:35:03.280 --> 00:35:10.679
the guy. Oh, that's just funny. That is so bitter.

00:35:10.860 --> 00:35:13.340
They were looking for the, you know, the Cobra

00:35:13.340 --> 00:35:16.940
surrender, Cobra, right? You know, the van going,

00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:19.480
ah, or crying or something like that. And he

00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:21.800
just gave him the bird. Yeah, he was, yeah. He

00:35:21.800 --> 00:35:24.800
was not going to humor them. That's greatness.

00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:27.860
All right, cool. What about the clutch win for

00:35:27.860 --> 00:35:31.380
Miami over Notre Dame? Oh, I didn't even hear

00:35:31.380 --> 00:35:32.420
about this. I didn't even hear about that. What

00:35:32.420 --> 00:35:36.199
happened there? Well, number 10 Miami over Notre

00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:40.860
Dame, number six. Was that last night? When was

00:35:40.860 --> 00:35:43.019
that game? It was a night game. They may have

00:35:43.019 --> 00:35:45.159
had, they had some football yesterday, didn't

00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:50.190
they? I think it was yesterday. 27 over 24 victory.

00:35:50.289 --> 00:35:53.829
Sunday night. The first win over a top 10 team

00:35:53.829 --> 00:35:57.570
in nearly eight years. That's a good one. I have

00:35:57.570 --> 00:35:59.650
to say I'm not a huge fan of Miami just based

00:35:59.650 --> 00:36:04.090
off of the Miami from the Jimmy Johnson era.

00:36:04.130 --> 00:36:08.010
That era. Catholics versus convicts. Yeah, the

00:36:08.010 --> 00:36:12.730
Michael Irvin era. When was that? The early 90s?

00:36:12.730 --> 00:36:16.250
Yeah. Where it was just, I don't know, it was

00:36:16.250 --> 00:36:19.519
just over the top. They've been down for quite

00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:22.639
a while. They've had some stretches where they've

00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:25.400
been good, but it's good to see that they're

00:36:25.400 --> 00:36:27.320
coming back. But I'm not a huge fan of Miami.

00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:32.219
I think Rock Johnson played for them. He was

00:36:32.219 --> 00:36:34.300
a defensive lineman, I think. Did he really?

00:36:34.460 --> 00:36:36.559
Yes. I didn't know that. I wonder if he was good.

00:36:37.340 --> 00:36:41.139
I think he was. I was looking. There was a catch

00:36:41.139 --> 00:36:43.860
that a guy made over the weekend that the dude

00:36:43.860 --> 00:36:46.820
just stretched out. Oh, yeah. It did almost a

00:36:46.820 --> 00:36:49.519
360, right? Yeah. Was it in the Notre Dame game?

00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:52.440
It might have been. I totally missed. I missed

00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:55.159
a lot of highlights. That was an insane catch.

00:36:55.980 --> 00:36:58.760
Interception, by the way. He just turns around

00:36:58.760 --> 00:37:03.219
and one arms it. And then in the air, just does

00:37:03.219 --> 00:37:06.980
a 360. It was crazy. And you know it hurt. These

00:37:06.980 --> 00:37:09.349
kids are so talented, man. I think it might have

00:37:09.349 --> 00:37:11.090
been that one. I guess you could say that was

00:37:11.090 --> 00:37:13.809
on the money. Oh, nice. No, it was another one,

00:37:13.809 --> 00:37:16.769
but that one's good, too. Yeah, Daniel's from...

00:37:16.769 --> 00:37:19.650
Who's their quarterback now? That was a touchdown.

00:37:19.750 --> 00:37:25.670
Yeah, that one was a touchdown. Golly. Is it

00:37:25.670 --> 00:37:28.889
raining? It's Miami, so probably. That Notre

00:37:28.889 --> 00:37:32.190
Dame guy should have just whacked his hand. That's

00:37:32.190 --> 00:37:34.469
all it would have taken. What a catch, though.

00:37:34.610 --> 00:37:40.679
And in the rain. That's a testimony to those

00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:43.719
gloves that they wear. Maybe. Oh, they're sticky.

00:37:44.099 --> 00:37:46.039
They are sticky, though, right? Oh, yeah, they

00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:49.860
are. Once I saw Odell Beckham do that thing against

00:37:49.860 --> 00:37:52.440
the Cowboys, I'm like, okay, these gloves are

00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:56.360
made of glue. Well, the kids that would play

00:37:56.360 --> 00:38:00.880
with Brandon and even the Pee Wee League, they

00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:03.659
would have the sticky gloves. I don't know what

00:38:03.659 --> 00:38:05.320
they're made out of. They don't have anything

00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:09.320
applied to them. But the rubber or plastic themselves,

00:38:09.780 --> 00:38:12.920
yeah, it's like a latex. It was your ball. It's

00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:14.480
not going to, if you get it on your hand, you

00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:16.739
grab it. Is it traction or is it like an adhesive?

00:38:16.739 --> 00:38:18.960
It's not an adhesive. It's whatever it's made

00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:24.099
out of. And it's very grippy. You're saying so

00:38:24.099 --> 00:38:26.320
we could go outside and put these gloves on and

00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:28.139
we can start making these catches like these

00:38:28.139 --> 00:38:30.659
guys? Yes. We stick our hand way out. We would

00:38:30.659 --> 00:38:33.760
rip it. Suck it in and be like. Then you wouldn't

00:38:33.760 --> 00:38:35.969
be able to move for. A month. We'd be laying

00:38:35.969 --> 00:38:39.409
there. Oh, my rib. I trumped. I broke my whole

00:38:39.409 --> 00:38:43.630
right side. Yes. Yeah, we would not move if we

00:38:43.630 --> 00:38:45.690
tried that attempt. And we're all standing over

00:38:45.690 --> 00:38:47.610
you and saying, Jeff, that was a nice catch.

00:38:47.869 --> 00:38:56.909
Fuck you. I can't breathe. 9 -1 -1. Oh, man.

00:38:57.190 --> 00:39:00.329
Anyway. I am slowly realizing, getting to the

00:39:00.329 --> 00:39:03.309
realization that I need to ask help for certain

00:39:03.309 --> 00:39:07.449
things now. Okay. Like carrying in the groceries?

00:39:07.570 --> 00:39:09.969
No, I could do that, but lifting extremely heavy

00:39:09.969 --> 00:39:12.389
things. Yeah. I know I can do it, but I'm going

00:39:12.389 --> 00:39:14.409
to hurt myself doing it. Yes. And I don't want

00:39:14.409 --> 00:39:15.969
to hurt myself doing it anymore. I've done it

00:39:15.969 --> 00:39:18.909
enough times. I've gotten really good at relying

00:39:18.909 --> 00:39:20.789
on my boys for stuff. Because before, I'd be

00:39:20.789 --> 00:39:22.909
like, I got this. And Shelly would be like, help

00:39:22.909 --> 00:39:25.550
your father. And I'm like, I got this. It's not

00:39:25.550 --> 00:39:27.809
a big deal. Now I'm like, yeah, help your father.

00:39:27.969 --> 00:39:30.250
Yeah. I don't have any boys in the house anymore.

00:39:30.590 --> 00:39:32.230
That's right. You got Alex. Jeff doesn't either.

00:39:32.730 --> 00:39:34.809
That's right. That's right. See, I'm just going

00:39:34.809 --> 00:39:37.210
to keep my boys around to help me with carrying

00:39:37.210 --> 00:39:40.750
heavy things. That works. By the way, how is

00:39:40.750 --> 00:39:42.829
your son doing? He went to Texas A &M University.

00:39:43.670 --> 00:39:46.130
He's going to Blinn right now. Well, Preston's

00:39:46.130 --> 00:39:48.070
going to A &M. Austin's going to be going to

00:39:48.070 --> 00:39:51.190
Blinn as long as he can. Yeah, both your boys

00:39:51.190 --> 00:39:53.050
are down there. That's excellent. Yeah, right

00:39:53.050 --> 00:39:55.449
now they're doing fine. Austin, he's trying to

00:39:55.449 --> 00:40:00.260
get a job. He had applied to H -E -B. Is that

00:40:00.260 --> 00:40:01.739
right? H -E -B. That's what you said. I should

00:40:01.739 --> 00:40:03.739
have talked to someone if she's got any pull.

00:40:04.820 --> 00:40:08.039
Maybe. If he's going to sell wine, yeah. I mean,

00:40:08.059 --> 00:40:12.460
whatever, man. He's 21. 22. Whatever. He was

00:40:12.460 --> 00:40:15.119
promised a job there. And the guy was like, oh,

00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:16.619
to Preston. He was like, oh, yeah, that's for

00:40:16.619 --> 00:40:17.780
sure. I can get him in. That's not a problem

00:40:17.780 --> 00:40:22.059
at all. And now there's nothing. Right. You know

00:40:22.059 --> 00:40:27.539
what? You can get the cards. And he's like, bitch,

00:40:27.579 --> 00:40:31.900
please. Preston works at a restaurant. Yeah,

00:40:31.940 --> 00:40:35.340
but for Austin. Yeah, so Preston knew somebody

00:40:35.340 --> 00:40:37.519
that could... Yeah, one of the guys frequents

00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:40.139
where Preston works. And Preston works out with

00:40:40.139 --> 00:40:42.760
him. So, you know, they're at their gym together.

00:40:42.940 --> 00:40:44.800
And Austin's actually working out with him too

00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:47.780
now. So, whatever, man. I mean, I'm trying my

00:40:47.780 --> 00:40:49.719
best to... He'll find something. Yeah, I'm trying

00:40:49.719 --> 00:40:52.190
to kind of... separate myself from them. I want

00:40:52.190 --> 00:40:55.989
to let them do their thing. Help them be adults.

00:40:56.329 --> 00:40:59.050
I shoot them text messages once in a while reminding

00:40:59.050 --> 00:41:01.530
them that, hey, I love you. Just thinking about

00:41:01.530 --> 00:41:04.010
you. Hope you're doing well. This weekend, I

00:41:04.010 --> 00:41:07.949
may go and see them. I don't know yet. I think

00:41:07.949 --> 00:41:11.289
I may invite them to come down for Halloween.

00:41:11.469 --> 00:41:13.949
I don't know. I don't know, man. It's a different

00:41:13.949 --> 00:41:17.210
game for me right now with them because I want

00:41:17.210 --> 00:41:20.409
to give them the space. I definitely want, I

00:41:20.409 --> 00:41:23.710
do have concerns, but, you know, they're normal

00:41:23.710 --> 00:41:25.349
parent concerns, you know, drinking and driving.

00:41:25.369 --> 00:41:27.369
I'm not saying they're doing it, but, you know.

00:41:27.369 --> 00:41:29.449
Yeah, we all worry about different things like

00:41:29.449 --> 00:41:31.570
that and hope that they're making good decisions.

00:41:32.139 --> 00:41:34.760
I sent text messages reminding them, hey, look,

00:41:34.860 --> 00:41:36.920
I just want to let you guys know that when you

00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:38.820
go out and have a good time, I'm all about that.

00:41:38.900 --> 00:41:40.639
You're of age. You're a grown -ass man. You can

00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:43.380
do what you want. However, I encourage you to

00:41:43.380 --> 00:41:45.659
use my credit card to pay for any Uber that you

00:41:45.659 --> 00:41:48.440
ever need for the rest of your life. Good decision.

00:41:50.579 --> 00:41:55.039
It's crazy. We have friends that they weren't

00:41:55.039 --> 00:41:57.099
necessarily driving, but they were the product

00:41:57.099 --> 00:42:01.139
of someone that was under the influence. horrible

00:42:01.139 --> 00:42:04.699
things happen to their kid. Right. Yeah. You

00:42:04.699 --> 00:42:07.739
can't ever be too careful and can't ever not

00:42:07.739 --> 00:42:10.820
say too much to them. Right. If that makes sense.

00:42:10.980 --> 00:42:13.099
So, whatever. You know, I'm going to wait for

00:42:13.099 --> 00:42:16.320
him to figure it out. So, just, it's exciting.

00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:18.900
I'm excited for him. You know, I'm anxious to

00:42:18.900 --> 00:42:20.800
have Preston kind of finish up whatever the hell

00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:23.420
he's got going on and get his ass up here and

00:42:23.420 --> 00:42:27.539
have him take on the second part of his career.

00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:33.019
When he... slated to graduate this next year,

00:42:33.099 --> 00:42:36.159
about a year and a half? Is it May? I'm not sure.

00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:38.880
I don't think it's May. It might be another semester

00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:44.480
after that. So maybe next December then. Unless

00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:48.199
he does it in the summer. But if he needs a full

00:42:48.199 --> 00:42:51.840
semester, that'd be the fall semester when she

00:42:51.840 --> 00:42:54.340
would graduate in December then. That is exciting.

00:42:54.519 --> 00:42:56.739
Yeah. And I think I may have mentioned this in

00:42:56.739 --> 00:42:59.800
the prior podcast, but he was hoping to jump

00:42:59.800 --> 00:43:02.059
on the Texas A &M football team, and then all

00:43:02.059 --> 00:43:04.940
of a sudden they changed their program to where

00:43:04.940 --> 00:43:06.900
they're paying their employees. How do you feel

00:43:06.900 --> 00:43:10.400
about college students getting paid to play football?

00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:13.239
I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan of it. I'm not a

00:43:13.239 --> 00:43:16.159
fan at all. There are a lot of these, not all

00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:18.179
the kids, but they were getting paid before with

00:43:18.179 --> 00:43:22.130
scholarships, in my opinion. If you're in a scholarship,

00:43:22.269 --> 00:43:24.630
you're getting paid. That's $30 ,000, $40 ,000,

00:43:24.630 --> 00:43:26.789
$50 ,000, depending on what school, $1 ,000 a

00:43:26.789 --> 00:43:28.650
year that you're getting paid. Yeah, but free

00:43:28.650 --> 00:43:33.130
education versus getting paid $1 .2 million in

00:43:33.130 --> 00:43:35.469
cash. No, they're still getting paid. If they're

00:43:35.469 --> 00:43:36.889
saying we're not getting paid, you were getting

00:43:36.889 --> 00:43:41.090
paid. Yeah. You know, $120 ,000 a year. That's

00:43:41.090 --> 00:43:43.329
a lot more than most people make. The difference

00:43:43.329 --> 00:43:44.909
is who's paying them, right? If you're getting

00:43:44.909 --> 00:43:47.269
a free education from the university versus getting

00:43:47.269 --> 00:43:50.940
money from the boosters. Is it the boosters or

00:43:50.940 --> 00:43:53.159
these advertisers? It's boosters. Advertisers.

00:43:53.880 --> 00:43:56.579
It's boosters through the school, right? Right.

00:43:56.699 --> 00:43:59.480
But they have to have advertisers that are funding

00:43:59.480 --> 00:44:03.579
these booster clubs. I don't know. I'm a proponent

00:44:03.579 --> 00:44:07.500
against the NIL and the transfer portal. I think

00:44:07.500 --> 00:44:09.579
that has ruined college football, or it will

00:44:09.579 --> 00:44:13.039
be ruining it. I agree. Anytime you have talent

00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:15.340
that's brought in, it's supposed to be regional.

00:44:15.539 --> 00:44:18.590
We're pulling our guys in regionally. So what

00:44:18.590 --> 00:44:20.630
is the NHL name, image, and likeness? Money comes

00:44:20.630 --> 00:44:22.570
from business sponsors, organizations called

00:44:22.570 --> 00:44:25.789
NIL Collectives, which are often funded by wealthy

00:44:25.789 --> 00:44:28.809
donors of fans or fans of specific schools. See,

00:44:28.809 --> 00:44:31.570
I think it really is wealthy, wealthy donors,

00:44:31.809 --> 00:44:35.349
boosters. Yep, yep. I guess you don't have to

00:44:35.349 --> 00:44:39.289
go to the school. Yeah. They just pay the athletes

00:44:39.289 --> 00:44:43.860
and say, hey, you know. Post on social media

00:44:43.860 --> 00:44:45.960
about my company, and I'll give you $10 million

00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:48.820
if you go to A &M. For me, it's kind of like,

00:44:48.880 --> 00:44:51.300
hey, man, look, I want this kid to get in, and

00:44:51.300 --> 00:44:53.739
I'm going to literally pave his way to get in.

00:44:53.840 --> 00:44:57.360
I want him to go there, and I'm going to fund

00:44:57.360 --> 00:45:00.599
it. Suck it. Think about it. I'm a billionaire.

00:45:00.820 --> 00:45:03.199
Pay to play. Yeah, I'm a billionaire who supports

00:45:03.199 --> 00:45:08.380
Georgia, and I can't stand the other schools

00:45:08.380 --> 00:45:11.260
and the SECs. It becomes a... These guys have

00:45:11.260 --> 00:45:13.219
so much money, they can just pour into anything,

00:45:13.360 --> 00:45:14.920
right? Yep. And so they're like, you know what,

00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:19.800
I'm going to give my school $30 million to pick

00:45:19.800 --> 00:45:21.380
up the top recruits so that we're going to have

00:45:21.380 --> 00:45:23.179
a kick -ass fucking football team this year.

00:45:23.360 --> 00:45:25.940
I mean, it's just sick. That Alabama gets wind

00:45:25.940 --> 00:45:28.179
of that. Oh, we're going to do $50 million. Right.

00:45:28.179 --> 00:45:31.039
Oh, it just becomes a bidding war with which

00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:35.699
men, which people. Yep, yep. So I think that,

00:45:35.699 --> 00:45:39.340
and like I said, the transfer portal has been,

00:45:40.039 --> 00:45:43.980
uh abused because what can happen is you have

00:45:43.980 --> 00:45:48.420
these kids who will transfer before bowl games

00:45:48.420 --> 00:45:53.860
oh wow yeah so i think it opens in december yeah

00:45:53.860 --> 00:45:55.960
that window needs to go away yeah i mean the

00:45:55.960 --> 00:45:58.559
timing is stupid because you'll have these uh

00:45:58.559 --> 00:46:02.860
i think uh i think uh the quarterbacks you'll

00:46:02.860 --> 00:46:05.820
see some quarterbacks who may have been you know

00:46:05.820 --> 00:46:09.400
losing their job from an incoming because someone

00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:11.320
came in and they'll be like, yeah, I'm going

00:46:11.320 --> 00:46:14.199
to leave and go to this other school. Yeah, it's

00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:16.579
crazy. Usually because there's a chance they'll

00:46:16.579 --> 00:46:21.000
get more money. Right. And I think the transfer

00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:23.760
portal starts before the coaches can start going

00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:25.880
out and recruiting as well. The timing is off

00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:29.099
is what it is. So you don't have a chance to

00:46:29.099 --> 00:46:31.739
talk and get all this stuff sorted out. You have

00:46:31.739 --> 00:46:35.679
a shit ton of people just leaving. It doesn't

00:46:35.679 --> 00:46:37.760
give you an opportunity for local talent. Everyone

00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:42.619
is harvested from somewhere. It frustrates me

00:46:42.619 --> 00:46:45.800
specifically because I wanted Preston to be able

00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:48.679
to try out. What happened to trying out for the

00:46:48.679 --> 00:46:51.659
team? Is that just not available anymore? You

00:46:51.659 --> 00:46:54.139
can't try out? Not in a major program, I don't

00:46:54.139 --> 00:46:55.960
think. I don't think you just have walk -ons

00:46:55.960 --> 00:46:58.780
anymore. They don't want to spend the time to

00:46:58.780 --> 00:47:02.039
find one out of... you know, 200 kids that try

00:47:02.039 --> 00:47:04.760
out, they're like, listen, we can handpick anybody

00:47:04.760 --> 00:47:07.360
we want in the entire country and pay them. I

00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:09.860
mean, it makes sense, but I just think it's shitty.

00:47:09.980 --> 00:47:12.099
It's unfortunate. It is because of folks like

00:47:12.099 --> 00:47:14.480
Preston who, you know, just want the opportunity.

00:47:14.679 --> 00:47:19.780
The next Rudy. Rudy. Is Rudy with a walk -on?

00:47:20.920 --> 00:47:23.889
Notre Dame. Notre Dame, yeah. He was more of

00:47:23.889 --> 00:47:26.869
a tackling dummy, but yeah. Yeah, he was in the

00:47:26.869 --> 00:47:30.469
practice squad, so he was, yeah, he was a tackling

00:47:30.469 --> 00:47:32.869
dummy. Wasn't that Samwise Gamegee who played

00:47:32.869 --> 00:47:35.730
that? Yeah. I don't know. Yes. I don't know.

00:47:35.969 --> 00:47:37.409
From Lord of the Rings. From Lord of the Rings?

00:47:37.510 --> 00:47:41.250
Yeah. I can't quit you. What? Wait, that's in

00:47:41.250 --> 00:47:43.289
Lord of the Rings? No. He might as well have

00:47:43.289 --> 00:47:48.510
been. Come on, Mr. Frodo. I can't carry it for

00:47:48.510 --> 00:47:57.639
you. But I can carry you. Yeah, they did have

00:47:57.639 --> 00:47:59.380
some broke back moments in that, didn't they?

00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:02.719
Gazing at each other. Yeah, they did. Yeah. They're

00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:04.920
kind of like, no, you can't. He'd walk in the

00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:07.000
water chasing after them. They're hobbits. These

00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:09.099
are the hobbits. Oh, yeah. Welcome back, Paul.

00:48:09.659 --> 00:48:11.159
Okay. Well, no, I mean, I don't remember their

00:48:11.159 --> 00:48:13.519
names. I mean, there's a lot of people that have

00:48:13.519 --> 00:48:15.920
died in that movie, Lord of the Rings. Oh, is

00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:18.780
it a curse? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, maybe

00:48:18.780 --> 00:48:20.300
it's their age. I don't know what the deal is,

00:48:20.420 --> 00:48:24.219
man. All the actors have died in real life is

00:48:24.219 --> 00:48:26.300
what you're saying. Correct, correct, yeah. And

00:48:26.300 --> 00:48:29.360
there's an actor that just died. What's his name?

00:48:29.500 --> 00:48:31.679
The Indian. Wasn't he the guy in that commercial

00:48:31.679 --> 00:48:33.360
with the teardrop coming down his eyeball? No,

00:48:33.360 --> 00:48:38.159
that was an Italian. What? They had an Italian

00:48:38.159 --> 00:48:40.900
playing a chief? Yeah, the crying Indian was

00:48:40.900 --> 00:48:45.360
an Italian. Oh, my God. The ultimate cultural

00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:48.110
appropriation. Yeah, that was bad. Yep. The crying

00:48:48.110 --> 00:48:50.309
Indian was actually Italian. Yeah, but Graham

00:48:50.309 --> 00:48:53.610
Greene. I told you, Rick. Tatanka. Tatanka. Like

00:48:53.610 --> 00:48:56.150
you said. Like you said. Tatanka. He was kicking

00:48:56.150 --> 00:49:00.150
bird and dances with holes. Tatanka. Tatanka.

00:49:01.530 --> 00:49:07.469
Tatanka. Tatanka. Tatanka. Tatanka. Buffalo.

00:49:09.090 --> 00:49:11.630
He kind of looks like Steve Perry a little bit,

00:49:11.690 --> 00:49:13.449
doesn't he? Not at all. Scroll down a little

00:49:13.449 --> 00:49:16.750
bit. You should have been gone. I mean, come

00:49:16.750 --> 00:49:18.469
on. There's some resemblance there. Maybe the

00:49:18.469 --> 00:49:19.969
hair. That's about it. Maybe with a really bad

00:49:19.969 --> 00:49:24.889
sunburn. Tatanka. Buffalo. That's a more recent

00:49:24.889 --> 00:49:27.349
picture. He's in everything. Buffalo. He died

00:49:27.349 --> 00:49:30.690
of old age, 73. That sucks. Or natural causes,

00:49:30.730 --> 00:49:33.150
I should say, not old age. So what are natural

00:49:33.150 --> 00:49:36.730
causes? Heart failure? Heart failure. I mean,

00:49:36.789 --> 00:49:39.170
is that natural causes? Yeah. Yeah, you just

00:49:39.170 --> 00:49:43.570
know just heart gives out. Sure. So 73 and how

00:49:43.570 --> 00:49:46.550
old are we? Shut up. Don't do that. Why do you

00:49:46.550 --> 00:49:49.210
do that? Dude, that's two decades, man. I'm going

00:49:49.210 --> 00:49:51.869
to win one more fantasy league, and then I'm

00:49:51.869 --> 00:49:55.889
out. Yeah, throwing cash in and everything. I

00:49:55.889 --> 00:49:57.630
honestly think we need to pitch in more money.

00:49:57.690 --> 00:50:00.429
I wouldn't mind going up in the ante to $75.

00:50:00.769 --> 00:50:03.110
Why do you want to lose more money? Is it really

00:50:03.110 --> 00:50:07.150
losing, though? Yes. I don't know. I don't think

00:50:07.150 --> 00:50:09.329
it's a big deal. I personally don't think it's

00:50:09.329 --> 00:50:12.489
a big deal to throw in an extra couple bucks

00:50:12.489 --> 00:50:15.730
just to make the payoff. A little bit more. Yeah.

00:50:15.889 --> 00:50:17.949
Just to have fun with it. It would be fun. Well,

00:50:17.969 --> 00:50:19.869
first off, I get my money back every year because

00:50:19.869 --> 00:50:23.309
I always finish third. So you don't win every

00:50:23.309 --> 00:50:25.889
year. I don't win. I get my money back. So I

00:50:25.889 --> 00:50:28.170
basically get to play fantasy football for free.

00:50:28.289 --> 00:50:30.150
I've had a couple years like that. I had to pay

00:50:30.150 --> 00:50:33.010
35 this year. Yeah. I haven't paid in a while,

00:50:33.070 --> 00:50:36.510
to be honest. I think I was in the points running,

00:50:36.690 --> 00:50:38.510
I think, because I had a lot of points last year.

00:50:38.670 --> 00:50:42.119
Right. But my placement was not real good. Yeah,

00:50:42.139 --> 00:50:44.300
the last two years, I think, have been pitiful

00:50:44.300 --> 00:50:49.260
for me. I wasn't last place, but... Pretty damn

00:50:49.260 --> 00:50:53.219
close. That was definitely the bottom half. Yeah,

00:50:53.360 --> 00:50:56.000
I live there sometimes. Speaking of gambling,

00:50:56.280 --> 00:51:00.340
the Powerball is like $1 .3 billion. Is that

00:51:00.340 --> 00:51:04.199
big enough to make us play yet? I have an office

00:51:04.199 --> 00:51:07.860
pool. Five of us put in 50 bucks each. So I went

00:51:07.860 --> 00:51:12.719
and bought $250 worth of Powerball tickets today.

00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:16.960
That's crazy. They have, at the Four Seasons,

00:51:16.960 --> 00:51:22.340
this was in the year 1998 -ish, the Four Seasons,

00:51:22.360 --> 00:51:27.019
there's a bunch of cooks, chefs, dishwashers,

00:51:27.019 --> 00:51:30.079
whatever, all the back of the house. Yeah. They

00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:33.239
would buy lottery tickets, right? They'd pull

00:51:33.239 --> 00:51:36.010
their money. They did. And they'd have like 100

00:51:36.010 --> 00:51:38.570
people that would be in this pool. Yeah. And

00:51:38.570 --> 00:51:41.130
they would all throw in boatloads of money. They

00:51:41.130 --> 00:51:45.449
won twice. Really? They hit big twice. Like big?

00:51:45.650 --> 00:51:49.210
Or just a couple hundred grand? You know what?

00:51:49.250 --> 00:51:51.489
I don't really remember. One of them was a big

00:51:51.489 --> 00:51:54.190
one, a million. And I don't remember what the

00:51:54.190 --> 00:51:55.849
other one was. But the fact that they hit big

00:51:55.849 --> 00:51:57.789
twice. That's crazy. There's something to be

00:51:57.789 --> 00:52:00.730
said about it. I mean, those are numbers. What

00:52:00.730 --> 00:52:03.260
are the chances of that happening? Yeah, we bought

00:52:03.260 --> 00:52:06.239
125 tickets. How much does that really improve

00:52:06.239 --> 00:52:09.139
your odds between buying one ticket and 100 tickets?

00:52:09.280 --> 00:52:10.539
I don't think it does. I don't think it raises

00:52:10.539 --> 00:52:12.300
your odds too much. I don't think it does at

00:52:12.300 --> 00:52:15.219
all. The odds are horrible. The odds are astronomically

00:52:15.219 --> 00:52:18.320
bad. It's like 365 million to one. Yes, it is.

00:52:18.960 --> 00:52:21.219
But, you know, you do hear stories of an entire

00:52:21.219 --> 00:52:23.239
office. They'll do it. That's kind of what you're

00:52:23.239 --> 00:52:26.500
saying, Sean. They win. They win, yeah. And then

00:52:26.500 --> 00:52:30.280
you have stories where it's one person. It's

00:52:30.280 --> 00:52:34.300
a dick. It just runs. One person wins the whole

00:52:34.300 --> 00:52:37.079
damn thing. And he doesn't even know until like

00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:39.679
a week later. Right. And he was like, oh my God,

00:52:39.699 --> 00:52:41.260
let me check this. Oh my God, I freaking won.

00:52:41.420 --> 00:52:44.639
Sometimes these lottery tickets go unclaimed.

00:52:44.659 --> 00:52:47.119
They do. They don't know they won. And then it

00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:50.500
goes away. Was it like stat? You know what? Chuck,

00:52:50.539 --> 00:52:52.519
look that up for me. What is the biggest payout

00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:55.239
that no one, that somebody - Statute of limitation?

00:52:55.619 --> 00:52:57.800
Yeah, that somebody didn't claim. And then where

00:52:57.800 --> 00:52:59.420
does that money go? It goes away. It goes right

00:52:59.420 --> 00:53:03.039
back into the system. So it doesn't go, it's

00:53:03.039 --> 00:53:07.119
not forwarded to the next winner? No. So it gets

00:53:07.119 --> 00:53:11.719
absorbed into... Well, that money goes to the

00:53:11.719 --> 00:53:13.559
schools, right? The largest unclaimed Powerball

00:53:13.559 --> 00:53:16.860
jackpot was $77 million from a ticket in Georgia

00:53:16.860 --> 00:53:21.219
in 2011. They never came forward. And it expired

00:53:21.219 --> 00:53:24.460
after the 180 -day deadline. I thought it was

00:53:24.460 --> 00:53:26.579
higher than that. I thought it was way higher

00:53:26.579 --> 00:53:29.500
than that. But think about that. Somebody just...

00:53:30.519 --> 00:53:33.960
Pissed away $77 million. They never know. They

00:53:33.960 --> 00:53:37.239
did not know. They did not know. So you can't,

00:53:37.260 --> 00:53:39.179
unless they knew it, they lost a ticket, they're

00:53:39.179 --> 00:53:42.500
like, bah. Well, then you have that guy that

00:53:42.500 --> 00:53:47.219
got all that, had cryptocurrency, and he's got

00:53:47.219 --> 00:53:49.719
nine passwords. You have 10 attempts. Oh, yeah.

00:53:50.059 --> 00:53:52.320
And it's worth like $200 and something million.

00:53:52.840 --> 00:53:56.659
Probably more now. And you get 10 tries to remember

00:53:56.659 --> 00:53:59.320
your password. He has done nine of them. And

00:53:59.320 --> 00:54:01.159
he doesn't remember his password. That's going

00:54:01.159 --> 00:54:05.219
to erase the drive. It's trapped. Yeah. It's

00:54:05.219 --> 00:54:08.079
a baloney one. He's never going to be able to.

00:54:08.599 --> 00:54:11.079
Oh, that would drive me nuts. He's never going

00:54:11.079 --> 00:54:13.420
to be able to claim his. You have to try at some

00:54:13.420 --> 00:54:15.960
point. You're like, unless he's waiting for some

00:54:15.960 --> 00:54:18.179
kind of technology. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is this

00:54:18.179 --> 00:54:22.039
for real? So you said Powerball. The Mega Millions

00:54:22.039 --> 00:54:25.480
has a one point. $3 .37 billion unclaimed from

00:54:25.480 --> 00:54:29.539
2022. Okay, if it isn't unclaimed. So, so far,

00:54:29.539 --> 00:54:32.579
last month, somebody has not come forward with

00:54:32.579 --> 00:54:35.039
the $1 .337 billion. That was 2020. That was

00:54:35.039 --> 00:54:37.119
2022. Yeah, the article was written probably

00:54:37.119 --> 00:54:39.500
then, too. So, it's probably been claimed. Yeah,

00:54:39.500 --> 00:54:43.440
well, yeah. It's likely been claimed. Maybe.

00:54:43.539 --> 00:54:45.039
I don't know. Yeah, well, think about it. The

00:54:45.039 --> 00:54:47.280
next one is $77 million. Yeah, that was the one

00:54:47.280 --> 00:54:51.119
we talked about. Yeah, they would have said that

00:54:51.119 --> 00:54:53.260
that one was... That was this one. Yeah. The

00:54:53.260 --> 00:54:55.260
one we just talked about. So somebody came forward

00:54:55.260 --> 00:54:58.420
and claimed it. $1 .3 billion. So that's a lot

00:54:58.420 --> 00:55:00.639
of money on the table. It's still kind of iffy

00:55:00.639 --> 00:55:02.960
where that money's all going. You guys are suggesting

00:55:02.960 --> 00:55:05.079
it's going to school systems, et cetera, et cetera.

00:55:05.119 --> 00:55:06.900
But where is the accounting of that? I mean,

00:55:06.900 --> 00:55:11.719
is it just kind of like a USAID kind of accounting

00:55:11.719 --> 00:55:15.400
program set up with that? That's a shocking amount

00:55:15.400 --> 00:55:17.139
of money that they raise for these things, man.

00:55:17.280 --> 00:55:19.500
Well, it says, if the Mega Millions jackpot isn't

00:55:19.500 --> 00:55:22.349
claimed within the time, States that participated

00:55:22.349 --> 00:55:25.369
will get back the funds they contributed to the

00:55:25.369 --> 00:55:28.590
pot. From there, each state can use its prize

00:55:28.590 --> 00:55:31.550
funds for its own purposes. Oh, God, that's sick.

00:55:31.690 --> 00:55:35.130
Of course it is. That's sick. It doesn't go back

00:55:35.130 --> 00:55:43.239
into the jackpot fund. Fix roads. Yeah. Yeah.

00:55:44.940 --> 00:55:47.539
What are the odds on it fixing? I bet you the

00:55:47.539 --> 00:55:49.900
odds of them fixing the potholes is less than

00:55:49.900 --> 00:55:53.039
you winning. It goes right back into Black Rock.

00:55:53.199 --> 00:55:57.679
Yeah. Give me a break. It's a scam. It totally

00:55:57.679 --> 00:55:59.739
is. Well, I know Texas uses their money off the

00:55:59.739 --> 00:56:02.000
lottery to help fund the schools, right? Yes.

00:56:02.000 --> 00:56:07.179
Sort of. On the slide. And how many of our teachers

00:56:07.179 --> 00:56:09.760
that we know have gotten that money? That's why

00:56:09.760 --> 00:56:12.579
I'm kind of wondering. I don't know how it works.

00:56:12.599 --> 00:56:14.880
It's great that it does. I hope it does. But

00:56:14.880 --> 00:56:17.099
then how much? I mean, we don't even know where

00:56:17.099 --> 00:56:20.500
all the taxes go. I mean, if you win a billion

00:56:20.500 --> 00:56:24.260
dollars, you're going to get what? 500 of it?

00:56:24.460 --> 00:56:27.880
Well, if you do the cash option, you'll get half.

00:56:28.579 --> 00:56:30.800
But that's stupid. Well, no, then you've got

00:56:30.800 --> 00:56:35.179
to pay taxes on the half. Well, the 1 .3 is over

00:56:35.179 --> 00:56:40.659
20 years, and they're assuming it's growing,

00:56:40.760 --> 00:56:42.579
right? Is that how it works? For the jackpot,

00:56:42.659 --> 00:56:44.539
you have two options. You can have it paid to

00:56:44.539 --> 00:56:49.179
you every year, and then you'll have the full

00:56:49.179 --> 00:56:52.260
amount, or you can take the cash option, which

00:56:52.260 --> 00:56:54.079
is half of that. Either way, you're going to

00:56:54.079 --> 00:56:57.940
have to pay taxes on the money. Okay. So I wonder

00:56:57.940 --> 00:57:00.739
how much they pay you a year or a month or a

00:57:00.739 --> 00:57:05.030
week. Well, just do the math. $4 billion for

00:57:05.030 --> 00:57:11.329
over 20 years. Is that 240 months? For the rest

00:57:11.329 --> 00:57:13.550
of your life. Well, it's usually over 20 years,

00:57:13.610 --> 00:57:15.769
isn't it? Oh, I don't know. That's what I'm wondering.

00:57:15.969 --> 00:57:18.869
I mean, does it matter? I mean, wouldn't you?

00:57:18.969 --> 00:57:22.289
It would seem it could be prudent to just have

00:57:22.289 --> 00:57:24.909
them pay you in denominations like that as opposed

00:57:24.909 --> 00:57:27.110
to having it all at the one time. I mean, because

00:57:27.110 --> 00:57:29.630
literally you're slashing your funds in half.

00:57:30.960 --> 00:57:33.320
And is it transferable? Like if I die, can I

00:57:33.320 --> 00:57:37.960
put it in a will? I don't think so. I think that's

00:57:37.960 --> 00:57:40.880
a big reason why. I would take the cash so that

00:57:40.880 --> 00:57:44.300
way I can invest it however I want to and it's

00:57:44.300 --> 00:57:47.079
free and clear from this bullshit and, you know,

00:57:47.119 --> 00:57:50.000
winnings over time thing. I don't know. I don't

00:57:50.000 --> 00:57:51.260
know. But what do they say? What do they recommend?

00:57:51.380 --> 00:57:53.860
So it says the payouts for a single payment that

00:57:53.860 --> 00:57:57.139
is the current cash value of the jackpot. The

00:57:57.139 --> 00:58:00.719
immediate payment. is followed by 29 annual payments

00:58:00.719 --> 00:58:03.280
that increase by 5 % each year. That's how you

00:58:03.280 --> 00:58:05.000
get to the one. Lump sum versus annuity. Yeah,

00:58:05.019 --> 00:58:07.960
so you're getting, it's growing over the 29 years.

00:58:08.019 --> 00:58:10.340
That's how you get to the 1 .3 billion. Ask the

00:58:10.340 --> 00:58:15.000
fancy AI, what's the smarter move? Interesting.

00:58:15.260 --> 00:58:17.079
Is it going to be pros and cons to both of them?

00:58:17.219 --> 00:58:19.760
Oh, yeah, I'm sure there are. I mean, you won't

00:58:19.760 --> 00:58:22.440
be able to invest it, you know? Not like you

00:58:22.440 --> 00:58:26.489
would. All up in cash. I wonder if you get interest

00:58:26.489 --> 00:58:28.230
on the money while it's sitting in the bank for

00:58:28.230 --> 00:58:30.570
you to get it. Well, the stock market's doing

00:58:30.570 --> 00:58:33.050
better than 5%, right? So you can make 5 % on

00:58:33.050 --> 00:58:34.949
cash. You can keep it on cash. That's probably

00:58:34.949 --> 00:58:37.809
what it is. It's 5 % in cash. That's how much

00:58:37.809 --> 00:58:42.010
you're making. You invest it. Your average is

00:58:42.010 --> 00:58:45.590
around 8 % to 10 % a year, right, on the stock

00:58:45.590 --> 00:58:47.949
market? Is that what it's been doing? Yeah, but

00:58:47.949 --> 00:58:52.179
you lose 50 % of that. So is that worth it? No.

00:58:52.260 --> 00:58:54.320
If you do the cash option, he's saying, yes.

00:58:54.500 --> 00:58:57.900
You don't lose any money. He's saying if you

00:58:57.900 --> 00:59:00.659
do the cash option, you only get 50 % of the

00:59:00.659 --> 00:59:03.019
money. Correct. Correct. So that's losing money.

00:59:03.219 --> 00:59:05.659
It is. No, it's not losing money. It's you're

00:59:05.659 --> 00:59:07.820
getting the money. If you don't invest it, yes.

00:59:08.280 --> 00:59:11.099
If you just sit it and stick it under your mattress,

00:59:11.400 --> 00:59:13.019
yes. You're going to take that and you're going

00:59:13.019 --> 00:59:15.519
to invest it. Try to make 8 % to 10 % instead

00:59:15.519 --> 00:59:17.579
of making the 5 % that they're going to pay you.

00:59:17.699 --> 00:59:21.699
Yes, but what he's saying is. You could theoretically

00:59:21.699 --> 00:59:23.840
lose money. Yeah, you're giving up half of the

00:59:23.840 --> 00:59:26.280
money that you could be getting. Theoretically.

00:59:26.460 --> 00:59:28.420
Theoretically. The idea is you're actually going

00:59:28.420 --> 00:59:30.000
to make more than that because you're going to

00:59:30.000 --> 00:59:32.539
invest it properly and make more than the 5 %

00:59:32.539 --> 00:59:33.880
they're going to give you. Yes. You're going

00:59:33.880 --> 00:59:36.519
to buy like a pig farm and make so much money.

00:59:36.519 --> 00:59:40.219
Right. Yeah, but it's free and clear. No stress.

00:59:40.980 --> 00:59:44.480
True. No danger of your friends coming in. Not

00:59:44.480 --> 00:59:47.539
friends, but you losing your money over bad investments.

00:59:47.960 --> 00:59:50.760
True. There is risk. If I win tomorrow night,

00:59:50.840 --> 00:59:53.039
I'm not telling you guys. You guys will be like

00:59:53.039 --> 00:59:55.739
vultures. I mean, is there risk that, you know,

00:59:55.820 --> 01:00:00.340
Chicago or that place will be solvent in 30 years?

01:00:00.519 --> 01:00:03.340
Is that money guaranteed? Is that annuity guaranteed?

01:00:03.800 --> 01:00:06.880
Is it federally backed up? I don't know. I would

01:00:06.880 --> 01:00:09.539
personally want it right now. Yeah, I'd want

01:00:09.539 --> 01:00:11.480
it all and I'd invest it myself. Yep, and I'd

01:00:11.480 --> 01:00:15.440
go buy maybe a bottle of bourbon here and there.

01:00:16.899 --> 01:00:18.539
You know what I mean? Maybe a rare character.

01:00:19.000 --> 01:00:22.760
It depends on what the payout is. If you buy

01:00:22.760 --> 01:00:24.840
a bottle of bourbon? No, I mean, what is the

01:00:24.840 --> 01:00:29.300
payout? Is it annually? It's annually. Is it

01:00:29.300 --> 01:00:31.900
annually? Annually. Annually. So, you know, I

01:00:31.900 --> 01:00:36.739
mean, if it's $50 million in over 20 years, that

01:00:36.739 --> 01:00:39.139
means you get at least $2 .5 million every year.

01:00:39.480 --> 01:00:42.079
Yeah, who can live on that? Well, then you could

01:00:42.079 --> 01:00:44.900
invest that. Right? So they've already grown

01:00:44.900 --> 01:00:48.019
at 5%. You could say, well, I'm going to live

01:00:48.019 --> 01:00:50.880
on this much. Bottom line, you're not going to

01:00:50.880 --> 01:00:54.579
do poorly either way. But there's people who

01:00:54.579 --> 01:00:58.000
go through with this and they go broke. They

01:00:58.000 --> 01:01:01.320
think they have all the money right now, especially

01:01:01.320 --> 01:01:03.960
when they do the 30 -year payout. They think

01:01:03.960 --> 01:01:05.780
they have all that money right now, and then

01:01:05.780 --> 01:01:10.699
they end up overextending, and they don't go

01:01:10.699 --> 01:01:14.590
bankrupt, but they have to. They have to meet

01:01:14.590 --> 01:01:16.909
with financial advisors to get them back on track.

01:01:17.110 --> 01:01:19.909
As a matter of fact, they require these winners

01:01:19.909 --> 01:01:21.829
of some of these lottery systems, they require

01:01:21.829 --> 01:01:25.190
them to go to a financial management class. Right.

01:01:25.889 --> 01:01:29.329
You'd have to. Yeah, because people go crazy.

01:01:29.489 --> 01:01:33.429
They get stupid. They do. They go out and buy

01:01:33.429 --> 01:01:34.590
rare characters. Because these people will come

01:01:34.590 --> 01:01:37.469
out and... They'll make you invest in this, make

01:01:37.469 --> 01:01:39.349
you invest in that. Yes, and they just start

01:01:39.349 --> 01:01:41.750
giving away money to everybody, which is not

01:01:41.750 --> 01:01:45.050
a horrible thing to do. It's good to be charitable.

01:01:45.369 --> 01:01:48.130
All right, we're going to jump on this whiskey.

01:01:51.170 --> 01:01:53.849
What whiskey? Yeah, we are drinking one. We've

01:01:53.849 --> 01:01:58.010
had this one for a while. This is one. I don't

01:01:58.010 --> 01:02:02.050
remember what we felt last time. This is Old

01:02:02.050 --> 01:02:08.269
Elk Four Grain Straight Bourbon. I think it's

01:02:08.269 --> 01:02:13.869
105 something proof. It is 105. It says 105 .9.

01:02:14.369 --> 01:02:17.730
Age 6 to 7 years. It's got the mash bill, which

01:02:17.730 --> 01:02:22.550
is odd. It's 51 corn, which barely meets. 22

01:02:22.550 --> 01:02:28.869
.5 wheat, 19 barley, and 7 .5 rye. Dark. Wow.

01:02:29.510 --> 01:02:32.989
This is interesting. The four grain, they got

01:02:32.989 --> 01:02:37.510
51 % corn, which is That's the minimum to qualify

01:02:37.510 --> 01:02:41.269
it as bourbon, right? I'm a fan of that. I like

01:02:41.269 --> 01:02:43.869
whiskeys like this. I like bourbons like this.

01:02:44.050 --> 01:02:46.050
And they got to divvy it up pretty good. So technically

01:02:46.050 --> 01:02:51.309
it's a four grain, but it does lean towards the

01:02:51.309 --> 01:02:55.409
wheat. You know, 22 and a half versus 19. But

01:02:55.409 --> 01:02:57.349
you know what? I'm picking up a lot of, as little

01:02:57.349 --> 01:02:59.170
corn as it is, I'm picking up a lot of sweetness

01:02:59.170 --> 01:03:03.469
in it, personally. I'm panicking a little bit.

01:03:03.530 --> 01:03:05.409
Why? I reached over to grab that bottle. Good

01:03:05.409 --> 01:03:09.750
Lord, Paul. I'm sorry. It got all over me. I

01:03:09.750 --> 01:03:12.789
reek of four grain right now. Where? Is it on

01:03:12.789 --> 01:03:15.969
your taint or something? No, it's in my stomach.

01:03:16.389 --> 01:03:19.309
All in you. Oh, that's what I meant. It's all

01:03:19.309 --> 01:03:22.849
in me. Got a dove? No, you already had a pour

01:03:22.849 --> 01:03:25.050
out there. I saw you take a second pour. You

01:03:25.050 --> 01:03:27.369
were full. This is equity. We have to have equity

01:03:27.369 --> 01:03:29.829
in this podcast. Sean chugged his. What are you

01:03:29.829 --> 01:03:33.050
chugging yours for? He chugged his. I know that.

01:03:33.289 --> 01:03:38.650
I got a fantastic taste. Oh, you did it for the

01:03:38.650 --> 01:03:41.010
sake of the podcast? Oh, yeah. Dude, when I did

01:03:41.010 --> 01:03:43.789
that, I was able to taste it. Really? Stone fruit?

01:03:43.929 --> 01:03:47.010
Let me guess. A nice? Oh, man. Okay, what the

01:03:47.010 --> 01:03:49.570
hell is a nice? It's like a licorice. It's like

01:03:49.570 --> 01:03:50.969
a licorice kind of flavor. Do you want me to

01:03:50.969 --> 01:03:52.869
say licorice instead? Yes, I would prefer that.

01:03:52.869 --> 01:03:56.909
Okay, black licorice. Yeah, you can say whatever

01:03:56.909 --> 01:04:01.130
you want. This is a free podcast. Well, I mean,

01:04:01.250 --> 01:04:07.630
it tastes like cashew apples. Kind of astringent.

01:04:08.230 --> 01:04:11.469
Astringent. It's very astringent. Yes. That's

01:04:11.469 --> 01:04:13.610
a great word, by the way. Astringent. I'm going

01:04:13.610 --> 01:04:16.289
to use that. I like this. Like I said, it's very

01:04:16.289 --> 01:04:18.389
easy. It's very good. It's very easy to drink.

01:04:18.869 --> 01:04:22.690
Even my wife was like, for 105 proof, it's very

01:04:22.690 --> 01:04:26.869
easy to drink. Is that right? This MSRP was 100

01:04:26.869 --> 01:04:28.730
bucks on that. I don't think we didn't pay that

01:04:28.730 --> 01:04:30.480
much for it. That's probably around 80 bucks.

01:04:31.139 --> 01:04:34.800
92. We played 90, 98. It's 105 now. Well, this

01:04:34.800 --> 01:04:38.239
company who owns Old Elk, I think I read that

01:04:38.239 --> 01:04:42.059
they just filed for bankruptcy. Oh, that's too

01:04:42.059 --> 01:04:45.599
bad. Yes. This is MGP, by the way. Yes, it is.

01:04:46.699 --> 01:04:49.699
It's very, very good. It is. It's tasty. They

01:04:49.699 --> 01:04:52.340
have a lot. They have a lot, not a lot, but they

01:04:52.340 --> 01:04:54.679
have several different, like this four grain,

01:04:54.800 --> 01:04:58.099
then they'll have the standard bourbon. They'll

01:04:58.099 --> 01:05:01.889
have a weeded. So they have several. I think

01:05:01.889 --> 01:05:04.590
this may be our only one, our only Old Elk. I

01:05:04.590 --> 01:05:09.570
would absolutely buy this again. So AI just said,

01:05:09.610 --> 01:05:11.630
no, the company that makes Old Elk whiskey is

01:05:11.630 --> 01:05:14.809
not going bankrupt. But I don't believe it. I

01:05:14.809 --> 01:05:17.389
mean, you never know. Old Elk Distillery was

01:05:17.389 --> 01:05:20.130
acquired by, oh, maybe they were sold. Oh, maybe

01:05:20.130 --> 01:05:21.989
that's what happened. Yeah, they were sold. They

01:05:21.989 --> 01:05:24.570
were acquired by Middle West Spirits. That's

01:05:24.570 --> 01:05:27.699
right. Yeah, Middle West Spirit bought them.

01:05:27.760 --> 01:05:30.679
They're out of Ohio. You're probably right. They

01:05:30.679 --> 01:05:32.960
probably were going bankrupt, and they were rescued.

01:05:33.300 --> 01:05:35.440
Yeah. You know, you just made me think of something.

01:05:35.539 --> 01:05:36.900
We'll get back to the bourbon. I just want to

01:05:36.900 --> 01:05:39.400
tell a quick story. You said, who knows what

01:05:39.400 --> 01:05:42.780
to believe with AI? Yeah. Today, so I installed

01:05:42.780 --> 01:05:46.000
Copilot. We had to get a special license from

01:05:46.000 --> 01:05:48.900
the company. You had to go to training to know

01:05:48.900 --> 01:05:52.340
how to use Copilot. I used Copilot in Outlook

01:05:52.340 --> 01:05:54.460
for the first time today, and I was looking for

01:05:54.460 --> 01:05:57.039
an SOW. Right. Statement of work. Right. I didn't

01:05:57.039 --> 01:05:59.679
want to dig through all my emails. I was like,

01:05:59.760 --> 01:06:03.360
I'm looking for this SOW, you know, from from

01:06:03.360 --> 01:06:07.340
this software. Find it for me. And it it said

01:06:07.340 --> 01:06:10.300
it did. And I said, well, give me the actual

01:06:10.300 --> 01:06:13.000
SOW. You're telling me the summary of it and

01:06:13.000 --> 01:06:16.199
stuff. And so it went off and did it. And it

01:06:16.199 --> 01:06:20.019
came back with a company I'd never heard of people.

01:06:20.159 --> 01:06:23.719
I have no idea who they are. And I'm like, what

01:06:23.719 --> 01:06:28.519
the hell is this? So did it search other people's

01:06:28.519 --> 01:06:31.500
outlook? I don't know. I still don't know. It

01:06:31.500 --> 01:06:33.900
was, like I said, a company I'd never heard of

01:06:33.900 --> 01:06:36.139
for a product. I have no idea what it's talking

01:06:36.139 --> 01:06:39.519
about. People that are not in the company directory,

01:06:39.780 --> 01:06:43.199
I think it just made up shit. I think it wanted

01:06:43.199 --> 01:06:47.699
me to. I was like, make up a fictional SOW for

01:06:47.699 --> 01:06:51.039
me and call it something. That's crazy. That's

01:06:51.039 --> 01:06:53.519
Copilot. What the hell, man? So I have that icon.

01:06:54.159 --> 01:06:57.139
Copilot is Microsoft. Yeah, it's basically ChatGPT

01:06:57.139 --> 01:07:00.179
tied to Microsoft Outlook. Yeah, I've got it,

01:07:00.199 --> 01:07:05.099
but I've never used it. Dude, and I had my...

01:07:05.099 --> 01:07:07.320
That's kind of scary. I called my coworker over

01:07:07.320 --> 01:07:10.199
and I was like, can you decipher what I'm looking

01:07:10.199 --> 01:07:13.039
at here? And she goes, what is this? I go...

01:07:13.309 --> 01:07:15.750
I don't know. Was it an actual SOW? Everything

01:07:15.750 --> 01:07:17.989
like a contract? I could have clicked on it,

01:07:18.050 --> 01:07:20.230
but I didn't want to. Right. Because it was something

01:07:20.230 --> 01:07:24.349
I'd never even seen before. Right. It creeped

01:07:24.349 --> 01:07:29.039
me up. Did it ruin your whole life? I wish you

01:07:29.039 --> 01:07:32.460
had never told me about it. You ruined my life.

01:07:32.639 --> 01:07:35.320
Jesus. My poor dad. Well, I just hit co -pilot

01:07:35.320 --> 01:07:37.340
right now and I said, give me some top three

01:07:37.340 --> 01:07:39.639
news stories from today. And it spits out the

01:07:39.639 --> 01:07:42.460
U .S. court rules. Trump's tariffs were unlawful.

01:07:42.539 --> 01:07:44.119
Oh, shit. We haven't even talked about that.

01:07:44.559 --> 01:07:47.960
Humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Sudan, and Afghanistan.

01:07:49.099 --> 01:07:51.099
And the other one is the political and legal

01:07:51.099 --> 01:07:54.880
turmoil in the U .S. But this was in context

01:07:54.880 --> 01:07:58.380
to me asking you to find something in my email

01:07:58.380 --> 01:08:00.320
inbox. This is the first time I've ever used

01:08:00.320 --> 01:08:01.980
it, so that was kind of cool. I kind of like

01:08:01.980 --> 01:08:03.639
that. All right, let's rate this thing. Old elk,

01:08:03.780 --> 01:08:06.619
four grain. I think it's wonderful. Now, remember,

01:08:06.800 --> 01:08:10.219
105 proof. Do we have to keep that in context?

01:08:11.519 --> 01:08:18.289
I'll go first. I'll say this is a seven. 8, 7,

01:08:18.409 --> 01:08:23.130
8, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7, 8. That's a smidge high for

01:08:23.130 --> 01:08:25.829
me. I was thinking around 7, 2 for this for me.

01:08:27.080 --> 01:08:30.220
I am going, what's exactly the middle between

01:08:30.220 --> 01:08:34.159
you guys? That might be too high. You know what?

01:08:34.180 --> 01:08:36.779
I'm referring to the Mictors tenure and how sweet

01:08:36.779 --> 01:08:38.159
and awesome that was at 90 proof. You can't change

01:08:38.159 --> 01:08:41.260
it once it's recorded on the podcast. You're

01:08:41.260 --> 01:08:43.260
locked in. It's like the fantasy football rules.

01:08:43.399 --> 01:08:45.840
Once you start the draft, you're done. Correct.

01:08:46.020 --> 01:08:48.079
Can't make rules. By the way, you know what?

01:08:48.239 --> 01:08:50.020
I agreed with that, actually. Why did you go

01:08:50.020 --> 01:08:54.560
silent? No, I didn't. I told him I didn't remember

01:08:54.560 --> 01:08:57.500
voting on it. And then I remembered later, I

01:08:57.500 --> 01:09:00.460
was like, that was an email vote. It wasn't an

01:09:00.460 --> 01:09:02.060
impersonal vote. You know how when you're trying

01:09:02.060 --> 01:09:04.079
to recall something and you're picturing how

01:09:04.079 --> 01:09:06.220
it would have happened? I was like, we did not

01:09:06.220 --> 01:09:08.640
sit around a table in person and vote on this.

01:09:08.720 --> 01:09:11.439
I know we didn't. We didn't. It was through email.

01:09:11.760 --> 01:09:14.340
And so that's why I didn't remember. You should

01:09:14.340 --> 01:09:16.460
ask Copal to go find that email. Good luck with

01:09:16.460 --> 01:09:20.239
that. Anyway, I didn't go silent. But what I

01:09:20.239 --> 01:09:23.579
agreed with the other people on? Once you start

01:09:23.579 --> 01:09:25.699
drafting, and I call a little bit of bullshit

01:09:25.699 --> 01:09:28.659
on what they were saying. They were like, you

01:09:28.659 --> 01:09:31.319
can't change it now. We'll change my whole philosophy.

01:09:31.460 --> 01:09:34.619
I started drafting with the quarterbacks being

01:09:34.619 --> 01:09:37.640
four instead of six. I would have changed my

01:09:37.640 --> 01:09:39.939
whole strategy. And I'm like, that could be legit.

01:09:40.659 --> 01:09:44.640
Once you start drafting, you can't change that.

01:09:45.020 --> 01:09:47.020
Oh, that's fine. That's fine. But I don't want

01:09:47.020 --> 01:09:48.880
that. Look, I want to revisit it. I don't want

01:09:48.880 --> 01:09:52.149
this thing that can't kick down the road. not

01:09:52.149 --> 01:09:55.409
addressing this again. I don't really care that

01:09:55.409 --> 01:09:57.750
much. The part I cared about was I don't remember

01:09:57.750 --> 01:10:01.289
having a vote. It was through email. I'm almost

01:10:01.289 --> 01:10:03.689
positive. Yeah. Well, again, I don't remember

01:10:03.689 --> 01:10:05.529
doing it. So, you know, it'd be kind of cool

01:10:05.529 --> 01:10:07.289
if Barry could like shove it in my face and be

01:10:07.289 --> 01:10:09.310
like, here's the email, Sean. Oh, yeah. Here's

01:10:09.310 --> 01:10:11.829
your response. You go, bitch. And you voted for

01:10:11.829 --> 01:10:17.449
it. Yeah. That would be funny. I actually could

01:10:17.449 --> 01:10:21.229
ask at chat GPT right now. Well, anyways, to

01:10:21.229 --> 01:10:23.869
get four points or to get six points for a quarterback

01:10:23.869 --> 01:10:26.310
in fantasy football, I mean, is it that big of

01:10:26.310 --> 01:10:29.630
a deal? Well, it might be for some people. With

01:10:29.630 --> 01:10:34.470
a 12 -man roster, not a roster, but a 12 -man

01:10:34.470 --> 01:10:38.609
team, as far as teams in your fantasy football

01:10:38.609 --> 01:10:43.029
league, the talent is thin. So it may deem itself

01:10:43.029 --> 01:10:45.449
worthy. But for the people that do have a good

01:10:45.449 --> 01:10:48.500
quarterback, I don't know. I don't know, but

01:10:48.500 --> 01:10:50.460
I would personally like to get six points. Well,

01:10:50.560 --> 01:10:58.260
I tell you, the players go fast with 12 people,

01:10:58.359 --> 01:11:01.539
especially because, like you said, when you go

01:11:01.539 --> 01:11:05.100
up and then down, I was seven, so I'd go up.

01:11:06.539 --> 01:11:08.659
You know, that's kind of in the middle, so I

01:11:08.659 --> 01:11:12.079
didn't have to wait like you did. Yeah, 20 frickin'

01:11:12.079 --> 01:11:16.140
21 turns. Granted, I get two in a row, which

01:11:16.140 --> 01:11:19.439
was kind of cool, but, you know, there's a lot

01:11:19.439 --> 01:11:23.100
of talent in the middle. I think for the placement

01:11:23.100 --> 01:11:26.180
where I was at, I think I did pretty good. I

01:11:26.180 --> 01:11:30.840
think I got two top -notch tight ends. I got

01:11:30.840 --> 01:11:33.279
the, you know, whatever. I don't feel confident

01:11:33.279 --> 01:11:38.489
on my team this year. Well, I asked Copilot.

01:11:39.069 --> 01:11:42.130
I said, find the emails about us voting on a

01:11:42.130 --> 01:11:44.250
QB scoring change for fantasy football. And it

01:11:44.250 --> 01:11:47.210
said it did not find anything. And I said, are

01:11:47.210 --> 01:11:50.050
you sure? Six points versus four points for touchdowns.

01:11:50.090 --> 01:11:52.529
I double -checked your emails and found nothing.

01:11:53.210 --> 01:11:56.670
There you go. Dude, I know Barry. He would not

01:11:56.670 --> 01:11:59.829
unilaterally make a scoring change. I get it.

01:11:59.869 --> 01:12:03.479
I'm not, but, you know. I think we were all roofied

01:12:03.479 --> 01:12:05.020
when we did the vote. I don't think that's what

01:12:05.020 --> 01:12:09.500
it is. I think maybe, maybe only eight of the

01:12:09.500 --> 01:12:11.979
people chimed in, and so he took a poll of the

01:12:11.979 --> 01:12:14.659
eight people. And that was it. Boom, boom. All

01:12:14.659 --> 01:12:16.579
right, well, it's fantasy football. It's Barry.

01:12:18.239 --> 01:12:20.920
I'll call him No Bedside Barry. You know, No

01:12:20.920 --> 01:12:25.079
Bedside Man is Barry. I like Barry, but he is

01:12:25.079 --> 01:12:29.939
so astringent. He's a stubborn dude. I'll use

01:12:29.939 --> 01:12:31.760
the word astringent because he is. He's very

01:12:31.760 --> 01:12:35.020
astringent. He does not tolerate people being

01:12:35.020 --> 01:12:38.159
stupid. If he perceives you as saying something

01:12:38.159 --> 01:12:42.300
that just doesn't match what's going on, you're

01:12:42.300 --> 01:12:44.579
just out. Shut up. Move on. Shut the fuck up.

01:12:44.659 --> 01:12:46.560
Get out of this meeting. You've just been kicked

01:12:46.560 --> 01:12:48.319
off the team's meeting. And I think I'm going

01:12:48.319 --> 01:12:51.439
to fire you. A little bit. A little bit of that.

01:12:52.189 --> 01:12:53.890
Well, this is obviously the second half of the

01:12:53.890 --> 01:12:55.170
podcast. You guys got anything else you want

01:12:55.170 --> 01:12:57.170
to add? No, I'm done. I think we're good. We're

01:12:57.170 --> 01:12:58.590
all voted here. What is your final vote? Oh,

01:12:58.590 --> 01:13:00.149
yeah, Paul didn't vote. No, I said in the middle.

01:13:00.449 --> 01:13:03.789
So, 7 -5. 7 -5. Good stuff. I'd recommend it.

01:13:03.949 --> 01:13:07.630
Old Elk. Awesome. Four grain, under $100. God

01:13:07.630 --> 01:13:10.649
bless it. And they're with Westside Spirits now.

01:13:10.869 --> 01:13:13.869
Very good. All right. September 2nd, second half

staying on top of shit. And you do stay on top

01:13:24.449 --> 01:13:26.930
of shit. That's awesome. I can't tell you what

01:13:26.930 --> 01:13:28.430
a breath of fresh air that is. Dude, I got something.

01:13:28.569 --> 01:13:30.189
I am Paul. And I'm Jeff.
