What a way to roll, huh? You know, death is very
crazy, depending on who it is. It doesn't matter.
What a week. My goodness. I've got to tell you,
I'm not surprised. I'm a little overwhelmed and,
frankly, happy. I'm not happy of the passing
of Charlie Kirk, but it's sobering to realize
the world. that has taken and embraced this as
an opportunity to stand up. And plus it kind
of exposed a bunch of knuckleheads. There's a
lot of knuckleheads out there that are getting
called to the mat. And there's some teachers
here in Texas that are just... Did you see the
TEA letter that the director of the TEA sent
out? Or the president? No. Basically... Saying,
you know, we have 180 cases that we're investigating.
No teachers. Here in Frisco. In Texas. In Texas.
Well, you know. And basically, if you have something
to report, report it. Because it's uncalled for.
All right. So I want to touch base with all this.
Let's get us kicked off here. We've got a jam
-packed show, as we always do. The topic board
is full. I don't know if we'll get to anything
on the topic board, but we're going to try. Charlie
Kirk is definitely a primary one. I know you
guys have been listening to this all week, so
we're going to try to bounce around. We've got
a few other topics, mostly Jeff trying to embarrass
us in public. You know, that's the most one.
You're farting or something. Chuck's on stage,
showed up. And as I say, ladies and gentlemen,
Mr. Producer Chuck, Dudes Like Us. I'm Sean.
I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff. Blame me for being late.
You can check us out on Facebook and Instagram.
Smash those like buttons, subscribe, and look,
we talk about all kinds of crazy, crazy topics.
If it affects the dudes like us, then we want
to talk about it. So don't fret. Direct message.
I was going to say DM us, but it didn't sound
very weird. I don't use that word. DM. I don't
know. That's what all the people know. In that
world used. It doesn't resonate very well. Message
us. We want to talk about it. It kind of sounds
like BM, like bowel movement. Huh. I guess you're
right. How about send us a message? Send us a
bowel movement. No, no, don't. Don't. We've received
nothing up until this point. Now we're going
to get bags of stool. Isn't that illegal to ship
poop? I would hope so. Actually, no, because
they're a colonoscopy. Not colonoscopy people,
but yeah, no. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you poop in a box
and you send it off. Poop in a box. Okay, so
I'm going to throw a curveball here. There are
women out there that will sell their tainted
underwear for X amount of dollars. And they're
getting in trouble over that because it's sending
biohazardous stuff through the mail. Well, I
think there's probably some parameters. You have
to put them in some sort of - You have to label
it. Well, I mean, what if it's full of syphilis
and - Crabs and shit like that. No, go on. I
never would have imagined this is how we open
the podcast, but somehow we go to syphilis underwear.
This is great. I don't know. Can syphilis be
transferred through underwear? If you have a
friend that has syphilis and they're like, oh
my God, you're going to have to put his underwear
on or I'm going to shoot somebody in the head.
There's some circumstance beyond your control
and you had to put those on. I can't. This is
my frustration. If we had a call in line, we
could say, if you have gotten syphilis from somebody
sending you fecal underwear. We'll take caller
five on the line right now. Yeah, call in, guys.
Call in, and we want to hear your story. We're
going to say caller five. Now Chuck needs to
come up with a third -party accent. Right. Oh,
you'll be the caller. The caller, okay. This
is going to be a big test for you. Caller number
five, you'll answer. If you want to ask Google
that question, go for it, but I'm not. You're
not going to want that in your history. I wonder
if we can activate Grok or some sort of AI to
be our stand -in. commentator if we need that.
Hey, Grog, I need you to weigh in on this. What
say you? It has a voice. Oh, it does it? Of course.
Or you could ask it to act like a call -in person,
too. Well, maybe we ought to... I mean, I can't
do it because I don't use it at all. Well, it's
just beyond his computer, but we'd have to plug
our microphone into his computer. That's all
right. We'll probably get a separate old thing
for that. Oh, good Lord. All right. Let's just
move on. We're so stupid. All right. Let's go
back to Kirk. Okay. Because that's on everybody's
mind. It is. And you're right. And you're right.
Our audience has been hammered with this. And
it's just growing, right? It's not quelling.
It's growing. It's growing. And let's start from
the very first time it happened. And I got to
admit, I was guilty of it, too, because I sent
it out to everybody. I think... The fact that
the technology is there. People are there streaming
it. They captured it. And within two or three
minutes of the action, people are getting films.
They're getting video of the actual death. Basically,
his neck exploding and spewing everywhere. Oh,
it was. It was graphic. It was horrific. And
I watched it over and over. And I'm just thinking.
I watched it once. I was like, that's enough.
Oh, you. I've never seen it. I refuse to watch
it. No, I recommend you don't watch it. Yes,
I saw it once. It was a good experience to see
it. I mean, I probably watched it 100 times just
because I wanted to see if he was alive, if there
was a chance he was going to live. And it was
clearly the way his body moved, there was no
way. Well, it was basically the volume of blood
that was spewing out kind of gave it away for
me, plus the way his body moved. Yeah. But look.
There's a lot going on here. So he got shot.
Mass hysteria. People are texting these images
everywhere across the planet. And we're passing
this on. It's a fever. And there are people in
the audience. And this was disturbing. And you
have the guy up there that's doing his thing.
He took the shot and ran off. And we'll talk
about whatever his name is. Tyler. Lawrence Tyler.
What is it? I don't even know if we need to say
his name. Taylor, Tyler, whatever. He doesn't
deserve his name. Well, but it happens. Look,
there's people out there that, and we'll dive
into the reason why, but I want to talk just
about the one guy I saw. They showed a clip,
a guy out there, because there appeared to be
some people there that knew it was going to happen,
or they're investigating that, because there
was a guy that was... clearly smiling. There
was a video of him putting his fist in the air
super happy and like, yes, he did it. Or maybe
he just hated the guy so much that he was happy
to have witnessed it. True. That's the more likely
explanation. Maybe it is, but the fact that he
did it, it was sickening. That's what I don't
understand about what's going on here in these
depths of... These people's brains where they're
celebrating a death, whether you agree with them
or not, you know, if someone on the left got
shot, say it was Biden or something like that,
got shot, I wouldn't celebrate it. Oh, of course
not. We would be horrified. We would know that
this is bad for the country. Yeah. And bad for
humanity. But these people, they're sick. They've
been told Hitler, fascists, they're ruining America,
the whole nine yards, dictator for so long. Yep.
It's dehumanizing. They humanized some of these
folks, and it's now seen by some of these folks
as acceptable to kill them. Yeah, we're the boogeyman.
We're the boogeyman, and we need to be exterminated.
Anybody that's wearing a MAGA hat, anyone from
the right, anyone that has an opinion that differs
from theirs, and you know what? I can't think
of a Republican that has assassinated a left
-leaning... Was there a shooter that went after
the Democrat senators in a baseball game? No,
that was the opposite. That was a Bernie supporter
went after the Republicans. Yes. Okay, so that
was still, I was thinking that was going to get
them a way out. That was yet another example
of the left using violence. But, I mean, I'm
just trying to think, you know. Throughout the
years, we'd have to really go back and investigate.
But I think of this, you know. These people that
are cheering and are happy, it's not new. I guarantee
you when Abraham Lincoln got shot, there were
people cheering for that and were excited about
it. When Kennedy got shot, people were probably
cheering. They just didn't have social media
to basically vocalize it like you can now. When
MLK got shot, I guarantee you there were some
folks who were excited about that. When 9 -11
occurred, there were apartments that were celebrating
it. I mean, there were definitely Palestinians
who were celebrating on West Bank or Gaza. They
showed them. Well, I'm just talking about it.
I think Sean's talking about the folks in New
Jersey across the river that were celebrating.
Celebrating that? Well, yeah, that too. There
were. There was a public display that shows that.
But I'm talking about here in Dallas, Texas,
in apartment complexes. There were people celebrating.
It was an all -day festival over the whole thing.
So here's one thing I was trying to rationalize.
All right. So let's think about the people that
we have celebrated that have died. Osama bin
Laden, right? Or any Hamas terrorist. I didn't
throw a party. I didn't celebrate. No, but you
were celebrating. Maybe not celebrate, but you
were happy. Like you were, they got him. Like
they got that evil person, right? Or the Hamas
terrorist. They got those guys. They got what
was coming to them. Like, there are people that
we would consider evil, right? And what's clearly
happening is that these people that are celebrating
or happy or whatever, they clearly believe that
Charlie Kirk was evil. Correct. Just like we
think Osama bin Laden is evil. That's what I
was trying to get at. They've been demonized
for so long over the last decade by the press.
Twitter was bad for the longest time. Our own
Congress. Our own government. They've labeled
these people as evil. Like you said, they're
Osama. Yeah, they're truly having a reaction
that this is one less. evil person removed from
the world. Alright, so then I was like, okay,
so where are they getting that? Like you said,
it's coming from the media, it's coming from
demonization and stuff like that. But where are
the examples? Let's call Maxine Waters. You get
in their face when they're filling up getting
gasoline. If they're sitting at a restaurant,
you know, it's just like... There's no, you've
got the CNN hosts. Whoever said that a demonstration
needs to be peaceful. I mean, it goes on and
on and on. It's a campaign. Yes, I would agree.
I mean, that is the general like amping up of
the rhetoric and getting people. So who's doing
it? No, but I'm saying what exactly about Charlie
Kirk did he say or do? They've taken basically
everything that they're saying completely out
of context. So I was digging into that. OK, I
literally was I went to chat you between I said,
what is it that Charlie Kirk has said that that
the left is, you know, and it broke it down.
I give it credit. It said there are some definite
direct statements that they have alluded to.
And it went through a couple of them. And then
it said there are some that are, you know, subjective
that have been taken out of context. And so I
said, OK, well, give me the direct ones. Right.
And definitely. And I went to particular segments
of of a podcast on his show. Where he was railing
on, you know, some prominent black women that
that got there, that he was saying got their
positions because of DEI, because of affirmative
action. OK, now, there's no question that his
rhetoric or that his he was abrasive. Right.
He was like, you know, this is. you know, total
BS, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah. But never once did he say all these women
should die or, you know, the nothing, it was
nothing. It was abrasive. He was graceful. A
lot of the red, well, he wasn't grateful. He
was, he's not, I'm going to be honest. I said
grace. Yeah, he was not graceful. He wasn't.
In what I was, what I was listening to him, he
was, he was abrasive, right? So I don't want
to, I don't want to paint him as every single
time he spoke, he was, you know, like this total.
love flowing you know christian he was a christian
don't get me wrong i mean but remember he has
thousands and thousands and thousands of unscripted
interactions right with people that are emotionally
charged because they're being emotional he's
probably reacting with emotion right so he's
not going to be perfect none of us are perfect
but i certainly didn't see anything that made
him evil but you have to remember when you combine
it with your rhetoric right that you the examples
of your rhetoric uh he talked about immigration
right So they've ramped this thing up to the
point where if we're against an open border or
staunch immigration controls or people being
deported, we are insensitive. We're evil because
we don't give a shit about these families that
are being torn apart and, you know, all this
rhetoric that they make it sound like. Right.
Right. So then they start to apply anybody that's
for immigration or anybody who's for, you know,
what are all the other issues? Right. Then it
you get labeled. with an evil label, right? I
think that's most of it. That's why they think
he's evil. That's why they're reacting the way
they do. I mean, to me, it's irrational, but
when you consider that's our reaction to evil,
does that make sense? I think there's a huge
difference between what Osama bin Laden did and
what Charlie Kirk did. 100%. And how they make
that leap is a stretch. Is a stretch. I don't
understand how that leap is made. It's not even
a stress. I think if you say - It's irrational.
Here's what Osama Bin Laden did. They cut heads
off. He masterminded this whole 9 -11 thing,
killed this many people. Just like when you get
compared to Hitler. Right. There's no comparison.
None. There's no comparison. But they've somehow
tied the two together. Somehow. In their minds,
everything is justified. They're as evil as evils
can get. Because words are violence now. It's
crazy. Well, they are. And in a lot of countries,
you're going to jail for it, for standing up
and having an opinion. I disagree with you and
the UK's government stepping in and they're taking
them to jail over it. UK's bad. It's ridiculous.
So let's talk about that. Let's talk about this
wave of people losing their jobs. You know, no
one's getting jailed, but a ton of people are
losing their jobs. People are being canceled
over the Charlie Kirk reaction. Right. Well,
yeah, and people would argue that this is different
from being canceled, but I'm like, I'm not sure
it is. There's a lot of folks who lost their
job because of what was perceived as, well, that's
politically incorrect. There's people that lost
their job because they chose not to poison their
bodies with the vaccine. Or they spoke negatively
about the vaccine. I mean, we were worried about
this podcast getting to the folks at our corporate
office going, they're going to hear these opinions
that don't go through the mainstream media. Therefore,
And we're going to get canned. And we're going
to get fired. Correct. Right. But that's essentially
what's happening to these people that are, quote,
celebrating what they believe. I'm fine with
that. They are putting it online. Yeah. For the
world to see. I get it. I mean, they're not hiding
it. It's not like this is secret opinion or they
only keep it to their family or their close friends.
They are broadcasting it for the world to see
what a terrible human being they are. I get it.
They deserve to be fired. And in my opinion,
they keep coming back to, well, it's free speech,
First Amendment. Yeah, they can say that. But
when you work for a company, a lot of these companies
have ethics and moral clauses. Code of conduct.
Code of conduct. And if you break that. They
can fire your ass. Yes, they can. Just like me.
I work for the district. There are certain things
if I do on my private time, I'm out of there.
Right. And a lot of these corporations, I know
mine when I used to work for the corporation.
You know how difficult it was to be quiet during
that time? Right. And, you know, you have to
sign the, you have to take the stupid ethic course
every year. Oh, yeah. You know, whenever you're
doing online posting and this and that, you have
to be cognizant even on your personal one about
what you're posting. Yeah. Because that's a reflection
of the company. It is. You are a representative
of the company. There is penalties up to and
including termination. Right. I don't disagree
with that. I want to make sure we're not doing
the same thing. Why not? Does that make sense?
Yeah, but until there's real repercussions to
some of these actions, they're going to keep
doing it. Well, why not? Yeah. Look, when 1 ,600
people got arrested and fired because they walked
into the Capitol on January 6th, there was no
other side of this argument. There were a few
brave lawyers who came out and said, we'll represent
these guys, but they got shoved in jail. They
got harassed. They got their doors kicked down.
They got fired. They got ostracized. Completely.
That, until there's an equal and opposite reaction,
or even worse possibly, that doesn't stop. I
agree. It doesn't stop. I agree. I do agree.
I was going to say I'm being devil's advocate,
but I'm not even doing that. I'm simply raising
the question that I don't want us to go too far
over the line. And I was a little worried we
were headed in that direction. Well, I don't
know if it's necessarily us. Yeah, I agree what
they're doing, but all these companies are their
own entity. They have their own choices to make.
And over the last 10 years, they've been the
DEI, ESG bullshit, and now... This is happening,
and they're realizing that maybe that culture
back then was not healthy. We need to correct
that. I spoke to some guy that's – he's a head
honcho. He's going to be a guest on here. I don't
want to say that he's from – well, I don't want
to say the specific organization he's in, but
this organization is located in every city in
the United States. So they have – it's not a
company. It's an organization. They said, well,
look, we have members of our organization, a
brotherhood, that are posting stuff that are
just negative. So they took a vote. They're like,
dude, if they posted something, they're gone.
They're out. Everybody agree? And they're unanimous.
And they're purging it. And look, we know people
that have posted stuff online. And I posted something
online, and I got some reactions from somebody
we knew. Yeah, questionable reaction. Yeah, it
was, you know, they're out there, and they walk
among us, and it's like, dude, how can you even,
that's not even funny. Even if you think that
way, it's, why would, I would keep that private.
Yeah, why vocalize, put it out, once it's on
the internet, it's on the internet. Forever.
Forever. Yeah, I know. I didn't respond, but,
you know, it's just like, it was sickening. I
was kind of like, man, that's too bad. And it's
happening everywhere. There's people that you
never knew. Anyways, look, man, let's not beat
this whole thing up. The whole Charlie Kirk thing
is extremely sad. There's a lot of good that's
going to come out of it, but his wife, the kids.
His friends, there's a large community of people
that it was a brotherhood that he was involved
with. He had an incredible camaraderie with even
Donald Trump, the presidency. He had friends
in high positions. They're saying he was a future
president. He had a promising career, and he
had a lot of great things. And again, I didn't
agree with 100 % of the things he said, but you
know what? When you're a politician, which he
claims he's not, but he was going up that...
He was taking that plan, that career plan. He
would have taken that fork eventually. Oh, of
course. He was an influencer at this moment,
but he absolutely was going to go to public office.
Because he's smart. Yeah. He's very smart. And
he's quick. And, you know, when he showed up
to these debates. You know, which I think are
great. Yeah, who does that? Nobody else does
that. Let's have a conversation. And that's what,
really, that's one of the many things that the
Republicans are different from the Democrats.
The Democrats are always like, you know, we're
going to fight. Republicans are like, hey, hey,
let's talk about this. Let's have a debate. Let's
go over this. Let's figure this out. What are
your views? What are my views? Let's talk about
it. That was his thing. You know who else does
that is that Stephen Crowder, or he used to.
He used to set up these tables at the universities
and he'd have a topic. Cannot be women and women
cannot be men. Changed my mind. Right. And he
would have microphones sit up and people would
sit down and talk to him about it. That's beautiful.
I don't know if he's still doing that, but he
did it for quite a while. Not now. Not now that
he got his YouTube or he blew up on social media,
but I haven't really heard a lot from him. I
know he's got his daily thing going on, but.
I think YouTube yanked his ass. Is that what
happened? I think. I remember something was said
that was. Beyond the Pale or something? I don't
know. I think it was just a general thing and
he told YouTube to piss off and he went over
to Rumble. He took his subscribers to Rumble
because he would get cancelled and demonetized
and they would remove episodes from his show
all the time and he got sick of it. Let's put
a cap on this Kirk thing. You mentioned that
there's some positive that's going to come out
of this. So Turning Point USA, right? I don't
know how many chapters they already had, but
there's already 32 ,000 and climbing new applications
for new chapters at the high school and college
level. I think I heard that there were 3 ,800
that were currently in place. So that would 10
times. 10 times. So these are people that may
not have ever heard about him before, or maybe
they have, and they've been inspired to take
action, to get involved, to get engaged. I mean,
it could have been. To carry the torch forward.
And that's huge. I mean, it could have been.
There's a bunch of folks out there who had never
heard or seen his videos now that he's all over
the news going, well, who is this guy? Let me
go watch him. Why is everybody so, why? And it
connects with him because it really connects
with the youth. My youngest son really connected
with what he was saying. Yeah. He connected with
the youth and that's what he did. He was a young
guy. He was only 31. Dude, so ironically, what
this shooter has done is pour jet fuel. absolute
jet fuel on his cause and his movement. I heard
his wife, I didn't see it, made a really good
speech or comments or something. It was great.
It was defiant. I loved it. Yeah, it was, and
she's a great woman. She speaks very well, and
she carried herself well. She's obviously upset.
Imagine being on TV two days later. Are you kidding
me? She was like a Miss Arizona or something
like that. Oh, yeah. She's a power person, too.
Like, they were a power couple. You know what
I mean? Right. So, I think Vince... Vance. J
.D. Vance. J .D. Vance was... He was on Kirk's
show. Charlie Kirk's show. Yeah, he led it yesterday?
That's right. He filled in for him. Yeah. Well,
you know what? God bless Charlie Kirk and his
endeavors. And, you know, I'll tell you something
else about... The incident and the responses
that are sickening across the planet is some
of those responses. You have some of these other,
like UN, they're meeting, they're talking about
some other foreign means, and they're having
like a silent prayer for Charlie Kirk. And they're
completely defiant, banging on the tables. Oh,
really? Like in UK, for example. So instead of
letting it be silent, they were disrupting it?
They were disrupting it. They're like, no, no,
no. They start banging on the tables. You could
tell who it was. They weren't the cliche white
people of UK. But you heard what happened in
your own Congress. Right. In our own Congress,
there was a moment of silence and then Bobert,
right? What's her name? Bobert? Lauren Bobert.
Bobert. Bobert? I always say Bobert. It's not
Bobert. It's not like Stephen Colch. It's Bobert.
Okay. Bobert. So Bobert said she wanted a spoken
prayer. Yes. And then there was an uproar from
the Democrats. No! Boo! I was like, really? Showing
again your true colors. Showing your true colors.
Yeah, she said something like, unspoken prayers
go unspoken, but a spoken prayer means more.
Can we have a spoken prayer? And yeah, Jasmine
Crockett and all them other - Unbelievable. Jasmine
Crockett needs to go. Rageaholics, just jump
- Well, she may get voted out next time. I can't
imagine she wouldn't be, but remember, they have,
I mean, shit, AOC gets 92%. Well, I've heard
that if she runs against the Chuck Schumer for
Senate, she will win. She will? That's what the
Five is saying. That's terrifying. Her as a senator.
Whatever. All right, so the last thing I'll say
about it, and not to say that you guys can't,
not only is there a revival of the movement,
but also a spiritual revival. People didn't realize
how spiritual he was, how important God was in
his life. a massive spiritual revival as well.
And that can only be a good thing. They're claiming,
and this is huge, they're saying a 20 % increase
of the people that attended church across the
board. I love it. 20%. That is huge. I love that.
Yeah, at the same time, again, take it for what
it's worth, Reddit is just a liberal cesspool.
There's one on there called Texas Teachers, and
all of them. are so bent out of shape about the
10 commandments and they're hanging all their
gay stuff around it oh no oh yeah oh these people
i swear i think it should be in the schools i
think that we should be pushing this on the kids
i think that we should be pushing it on our country
was based on it i don't think we i don't know
if that's necessarily true and i think You know
my opinion on it. Yeah. But you don't think it
needs to. And I do. I think it needs to be in
school. And I think it's a great thing. I think
what's just interesting is that the Ten Commandments
are not just for Christians. I mean, it's just
for everyone. Like, if everybody would follow
those commandments, everybody wins. And so why
they're considering it so evil and offensive
is just interesting to me. Well, it's the atheists
that, well, it's not just, but a lot of folks
kind of think. There's a separation there that
needs to be there, right? But they get completely
butthurt about it. Let me throw out an argument.
Let's say it didn't say the Ten Commandments
and people didn't even know it came from the
Bible. Let's say it just said, here's ten really
good things to live by. Would it suddenly have
a completely different message and everybody
would be like, yeah, you know what? Those are
ten really smart things. I think it depends how
it's phrased because people are going to recognize
it for what it is. No, but you see what I'm saying.
I know what you mean. But the Ten Commandments
are a biblical thing. I totally get it. But you
see my point, though. If they could just take
the blinders off. Oh, I know. I get what you're
saying. What if the Bible said, hey, man, we
want you to eat healthy? Is that all of a sudden
an infraction? That's kind of the point I'm making.
It's like there's so much animosity about the
Bible and religion and Christianity that they
can't even just look at the list and go, you
know what? Those aren't bad things. Right. And
I do get what Jeff's saying. You know, I honestly,
I questioned it too. I was kind of like, that's
kind of an overreach. But at the same time, I
was thinking, I kind of like that because if
there's going to be something predominant in
our system, I would like it to be a Christianity.
Our country was based on it. And I want the flag
to be hung high and let's rock and roll. Let
me throw out, this is truly a devil's advocate.
Let's say in Detroit. All of a sudden, the high
schools and middle schools started putting this
list of eight things that came out of the Koran.
Say what? Let's just say. Let's just say they
put up a list of these, you know, the eight commandments
that came out of the Koran, which is Muslim.
And if you look at that list, you're like, hey,
those are eight reasonable things that everybody
should live by. Would we be? Yes. Oh, my God.
Well, you know what? See, there's a little bit
of hypocrisy there. No, there's not. A little
bit. Anyway, let's move on. Let's move on to
exciting things like who died this week. Oh,
that's a nice segue. Thanks. I think the biggest
one is that guy right there, Robert Redford,
who is actually well bearded. Is that Robert
Redford? He's kind of heavy set in that picture
too. See, I'm not the only one who didn't know.
I knew who it was. I didn't know that. I never
knew that was him. Yes. That's Chris Farley.
That looks like the... What is the Grizzly Adams?
He's very well bearded there. Is that Deliverance?
I have no idea what this movie is. I'm kidding.
Jeremiah Johnson? Interesting. Yeah, I'm looking
that up. We're not sure what that movie is. It's
a film. It's a film, yeah. So that's a big loss,
guys. Robert Redford. Now, he was 89. There's
no surprise about it. Is it though? Yeah, there's
no surprise about his death, right? I think it's
a big loss. I think he had a lot of great movies
that I loved. I could rattle off four of them
right now. The Sting. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance
Kid, The Hot Rocks, Three Days of the Condor,
and those are ones you probably don't even know
about. The Natural. The Natural, that's a great
one. Out of Africa. Out of Africa, that was a
great, wait. No, he wasn't in that, was he? No,
that was Paul Newman. His romance with Meryl
Streep was a huge box office hit. He was in the
Avengers, Civil War. Maybe he was in that. Oh,
I'm thinking African Queen. Oh. You're right.
All the President's Men. My bad. You're absolutely
right. Out of Africa. Wasn't he in, he also directed
Ordinary People, which I never saw. Oh, that
was a depressing movie. So, look, Ordinary People
was, I loved it. It was a great drama, but it
was depressing. I never saw it. Is it about suicide
or death or something to that matter? The story
was there was a family. A couple with two boys
and one of them was, anyway, they go sailing
and a storm hits. One of them drowns and dies.
And then it's a story of how it tears apart the
family. Oh my God, that's the first thing that
happens. It tears apart the family. The one who
died was the mom's favorite and she never forgave
the other son. And so it tears apart the family.
Look at that. Mr. Producer pulled up Obama. He's
getting the Medal of Merit. Is that what that
is? Medal of Honor? No, it's a Medal of... So
yeah, I never saw it. It had Mary Tyler Moore
in it. Yes, it was excellent. I never saw it.
Who was... Donald Sutherland was the father.
Right. Kiefer? Who was... No. Kiefer was the
son. Who was the son? Kiefer. Kiefer. No. Not
of... Okay. Timothy Hutton? Yeah, I don't know
who the sons were. I don't know who the sons
were in Ordinary People. Click on Ordinary People.
Yes. I'd be curious if they were upcoming actors.
Crazy rabbit hole here. Stars Donald Sutherland,
Judd Hirsch. Judd Hirsch. Timothy Hutton. nice,
good call. Steel trap. So he must have been the
one that survived. Jesus. Steel trap. Ben's brother.
So Quinn K. Rediker is a dead one. No, that's
Beth's brother. That's Beth's brother. That's
weird. He was a good actor, great actor. I just
never really... Robert Redford. I just really
never really, I mean, granted it's 20, 30 years,
40 years. Oh, my God. He's kind of. 50 years
ago. Yeah. For what? We're old. Robert Redford,
when his movies were coming out, 76. Yeah, he's
a little outside our wheelhouse. A little bit.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was 69. And
that's so good. I saw that. That's 58 fucking
years ago. Please tell me all of you have seen
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. That final
scene was great. Great. Did they live? They didn't
show them dying. That's what I mean. They're
still out there. I think they're still out there.
Yes. The entire Mexican army right outside. You
hear them shooting, but they don't show it. Right.
Yes. That's a great movie. Well, you know what?
Cheers for the success of his life. But I'll
tell you what, it's cool that we could do that
because, you know, Robert Redford was a libtard.
And you know what was great about him being a
libtard? He didn't know it. You know why? He
kept his mouth shut. Because he just... He did
it. He set up organizations. He donated. He represented.
And he wasn't a loudmouth jackass. And I was
just like, dude, live your life. Be happy. He
was all about climate change. He supported the
LGBTQTXYZ program. And, you know, whatever. On
his own terms. And I never found him to be divisive.
He was never like Robert De Niro. He's a buffoon.
He was never like that. Oh, my God. Speaking
of buffoon. Maybe you didn't hear it. He was
outspoken. Was he? Yeah. We just didn't hear
it. Well, we saw Robert De Niro. Oh, yeah. So
why didn't we see him? Because he's probably
too old. I don't know. Maybe he just didn't do
it on the Tony Awards or whatever. Yeah, maybe.
I don't know. Speaking of Buffoon, you got to
type in Kash Patel, Adam Schiff, and Buffoon.
So Kash Patel had a Senate hearing today. Okay.
And it was basically a hearing to go over his
performance so far? The purpose of the committee
hearing with the FBI director was for his oversight
testimony since his confirmation. He faced questions
regarding the FBI's handling with several high
-profile issues, including the recent assassination.
It was like basically a checkup call. It was
more than that. A performance review. Yes, it
was. Charlie Kirk, the firing of senior FBI officials
and his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
And they went after him tooth and nail. So there's
three. There's Dickhead Durbin, Cory Booker,
and Adam Schiff. Dick Durbin was Dick, but he
was still kind of professional. He wasn't too
bad. He was kind of just a jackass. Adam Schiff
and Cory Booker took it to the next level. Adam
Schiff did Adam Schiff things, where he was trying
to put them in a box, and he's very OCD. He wants
to have it his way. Answer yes or no. He was
like, I'm not going to say yes or no. Trying
to be all. Let's hear a little bit of this. I
think the American people believe the truth,
that I'm not in the weeds on the everyday movements
of inmates. What I am doing is protecting this
country, providing historic reform. and combating
the weaponization of intelligence by the likes
of you. And we have countlessly proven you to
be a liar in Russiagate in January 6th. You are
the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States
Senate. You are a disgrace to this institution
and an utter coward. I'm not surprised. I'm not
surprised that you continue to lie from your
perch and put on a show so you can go raise money
for your charade. You are a political buffoon
at best. It doesn't end there. You know what
I'm surprised is. Usually when they have the
congressional hearings, the senator's microphones
are way louder than that. Oh, yeah. And they
have the ability to cut the mic on the person.
They just let him roll and he could talk over
him. That was like, whoa, when does that ever
happen? Yeah, Schiff was very anemic senator.
I didn't know what he was saying. You can't say
that. When he was talking to Cory Booker, Cory
Booker was doing that. He was cutting him off,
not letting him finish. And at the end of Cory
Booker's line of questioning, Who's Mitch McConnell?
No, no. Mitch McConnell? Who's the other guy?
The turtle. Not turtle, but the other guy. The
guy that's the senior guy. Boone? Yeah. I forget
his name. But he was like, no, we need to let
our director FBI answer some of these questions.
Because he was like, director, do you want to
have time to answer some of these questions you
haven't been able to answer? He's like, yes,
sir. I would like to respond to some of these
questions. He never let me answer them. And so.
I bet Cory Booker was just like, fuck. Oh, dude.
He went off on him. And he was like, now, pull
it up to where he says that rant. It's probably
right there. Take responsibility for what you
have said. Sir, you're making a mockery of this
committee. Sir, you don't tell me my time is
over. The people of New Jersey tell me what my
time is. You can't lecture me. You can tell me
my time is over. You may be the target. I'm not
going anywhere. I am not afraid of you. Mr. Chairman.
I'm not afraid of you. Mr. Chairman, point of
order. Senator Booker, I announced at the beginning
of this meeting that... It was nothing. You got
to hear it. I watched all of it today. And it
was amazing. Pretty ugly, huh? You know, look,
it did a couple things. You know, nobody likes,
you know, what it did is it shows how we operate
internally inside Congress. And it's so, I want
to say corrupt, but it's so, they get bullied.
You know, it's just like they have a narrative
and they're going to bully it and they're going
to jam their narrative down your throat. They're
going to make it. And it's just like, it was
refreshing. to have Cash Patel be able to respond.
And Patel did not back down. That was the refreshing
part about it. Not only did he not back down,
but he had a set of balls, he had a spine, and
he was very wordy. He had a great vocabulary.
He was able to respond accordingly and beat the
snot out of all of them by responding with facts
and quickly. And they were trying to... pulled
the rug out from underneath him and he was like,
no, I'm not adding any of it because you guys
are lying. Right. All this is a lie. You know,
Cory Booker tried to say that the United States
is far less safe than it was under Biden's watch.
And he was just like, you have lost your mind.
That is an absolute lie. He started spouting
the stats and he was just like. And then Corey
will try to shut them down because he doesn't
want anyone to hear that. Typically the way it
works is they'll ask whoever's sitting there,
they go, so you have basically doomed the world
to destruction. Yes or no? Okay, yes or no? Okay,
well obviously he doesn't want to answer. I reclaim
my time. He's clearly avoiding the answer. He
obviously has destroyed the world. I thought
Cash Patel was going to say that today. That's
the kind of bullshit they always do. I wish he
would have said that because when Cory Booker
was done, his time had expired, and he was granted
that extra time to respond to him. And he went
nuts. Cory Booker interrupted him. Oh, my God.
Just kind of like what I do when I get upset.
Oh, no, no. I do unbelievable. Right. But he
did that, and he was just like, Cash Patel was
like. This is my time. This is my time. This
is my time. And then when Cory Booker was trying
to respond back, he kept over -talking Cory Booker.
This is my time. This is my time. I just wish
he would have said, I'm reclaiming my time. I'm
reclaiming my time. That would have been hilarious.
Kind of like Trump did during the debates to
Kamala. I'm reclaiming my time. Does that sound
familiar? That guy right there, Chuck Grassley,
he's the one that was administrating. Well, I
mean, what they're doing, what Schiff and Booker
are doing, are making campaign ads so that they
can say, I took it to the Trump administration.
I fought back. I was your champion. This is 100
% soundbite. And you look like a fool. It's all
soundbite. Sean, it doesn't matter. You and I
and the people in this room are the only people
who are going to ever see this damn video. Because
when it comes time to be reelected, they're just
going to show the part where they were screaming.
100%. You know, where Cash wasn't talking. I'm
not afraid of you. I'm not. That will be the
clip that they put into the 30 -second ad. Of
course. What was the thing that Cory Booker said
is, I am - Spartacus. I am Spartacus. Man, you're
a freaking ignorant fool. With his crazy eyes
and this little beard of a fiance now. And his
small little voice that sounds like he's got
something in the back of his throat. I don't
know what I'm saying what it is. All right. And
so a toast to Robert Redford. Cheers. Cheers
to Robert Redford. All right. Moving on to number
two. Rest in peace. Just finishing your thought.
I hope you make even. I was going to say a big
old. I hope you make better movies in heaven.
All right. Pauly Holiday is the second death.
Probably less unknown, but if you, as a name,
as an actress name, but the character, at least
folks our generation will recognize her. Definitely
recognize her. She is. Flo. Flo. Kiss my grits.
Here's a little sample. From Mel's Diner. That
was from Alice. Pick up your orders. Oh, kiss
my grit. Yeah, that's flow. Every time she bends
over, she gets a tip. Is that what she just said?
That's what she just said, yes. Oh, my gosh.
A 50 -cent tip. 50 -cent tip. Wow, back in those
days, huh? 50 cents. What was her name? Polly.
Polly Holiday. Polly Holiday. So rest in peace,
Polly. All right, well, those are the two deaths
I think we could find. She doesn't look much
older. Oh, gosh, she looks great. There than
when she was playing Flo probably 30 years prior
to that. Interesting. I wonder when that second
picture was taken. But she looks great. So the
crazy thing, that was in, when was that? She
was 88 years old when she died. That's nice.
What did Alice show come on? Those are the 70s.
76 to 80. But then it went into syndication.
We all got to watch it when we got home from
school or whatever. Back then, they had three
stations, NBC, ABC, and CBS, right? And then
PBS, and you had your UHF as well. Oh, the Channel
2, which was kind of what? We had Channel 19.
It'd be XIX. Well, then they had Skinamax. Now,
that was cable. Was she not Skinamax? I believe
so. Maybe she was. I don't know. That was the
only show I watched. Kiss My Pits? Except it
was blurred. It was blurred. It had all these
lines. Oh, yeah. I did that. Watching, you're
like, oh, there's a nipple. Oh, God. You know
what? I was on our Instagram, and somebody liked
one of our things, and I was like, oh, what is
that? Oh, she looks pretty. What is that? And
I zoom in, and it's a woman bending over with
nothing on. On her butt cheeks, it says I on
the left and then you on the right. And then
you zoom in, and it looks like I heart you. Right,
of course. And I was kind of like, how do people
get away with this shit on social media? I don't
get it. I thought you said somebody responded
to our post. They did. They liked our post. So
who is this person? I don't know. I don't know,
but I blocked them. Oh, I see. And they posted,
I love you. Well, that was their profile pic.
Did she have like a butt plug in or something?
No, there was nothing. But they love us. In the
shape of a heart. Let's not lose the message.
She loves us. Yes. No listeners told me that.
Or was her asshole the shape of a heart? No,
you couldn't see. It was her vagina, her vaggie
vaggie, the little peach thing. Yeah, that was
in the shape of a heart. Look, man, there's crazy
stuff out there. And when I see that, I disconnect
from her right away. I right -click, block, right
-click, delete. Screenshot. Fuck off. No, dude,
you can't screenshot that. You know they know
that, right? I don't screenshot that shit, so
I don't know. Do they track that shit? They have
to. It's easy to do. All right. Well, you had
mentioned, Mr. Producer, the Emmys, right? They
were this past week. Who hosted it? Was it Ricky
Gervais? It wasn't. I wish. He's so funny. He
torched them at the Golden Globes. Not the Emmys,
but the Golden Globes. That was a few years ago.
It was a few years ago. All right. So there was
a comedian who was the host this time. And I
know before the show, he was like, I'm not going
to say anything divisive. That's not my style.
I'm here to have fun. I'm here to, you know,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And apparently
he did a pretty good job of that. And he prefaced
it because he said he wasn't going to talk about
Charlie Kirk because that was just, you know,
that was something that's not in his wheelhouse
in terms of what he wanted to do for the show.
He wanted it to be uplifting and fun. It's that
Borghese guy, right? Is that how you say his
name? Nate Borghese. Nate Borghese. I've watched
some of his comedy shows. And they're funny.
And they're clean. No bad words, no sex jokes.
And he said, that's my stick, and I'm sticking
to it. Yeah, and it's all a lot of family, just
observational type of shit. Nice, I like that.
It's well done. One of the Ricky Gervais comments
when he was talking about deaths, someone that
died, and he was just like, you know, I was going
over the deaths of this past year of the stars,
and he was like, yeah, you know, there were too
many white peoples, and it wasn't quite diverse
enough, so. Not on my watch. You know, so we're
not going over that. Is that what he said during
the Emmy? Golden Globes? Yeah. Oh, my God. Isn't
that crazy? Oh, he had so many white people.
There's like too many white people that died.
It's like, yeah, we're not talking about this.
Not on my watch. There's no equity there? No.
But I do, I'm kind of curious about what, no,
you actually have that. So you mentioned that
there was a skit during the Emmys that was actually
pretty funny, and it was from SNL, and so he
pulled some people from SNL to recreate it on
the show. Is that what you had said? Yes. Okay.
This is a skit. You know what? I'll go back.
It's called Philo T. Farnsworth. So Philo T.
Farnsworth, he was... Okay, ready? I'm turning
on the power. The cathode tube overheated again.
I'm beginning to think Mr. Farnsworth's idea
for television will never work. Perhaps we should
just give up. We cannot give up. He's doing the
George Washington. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, it's not
music. Oh, good. Actually, there is music playing
in the background. That's about Severance, which
nobody else has watched but me. I'm like the
only one who gets it, but I think it's funny.
I hear a lot of people talk about that show,
though. Anyway, it wins Emmys. So Chuck, our
producer, you actually watched the Emmys? Is
that what you're getting at? I watched the six
minutes of the Emmys. Oh, six minutes. Does that
make me gay? That's longer than I've ever watched.
I wouldn't say gay. You're questioning it, though.
I wasn't questioning it. I commented. We were
just questioning your ideology. That's all. That's
not a big deal. I haven't watched the Emmys,
the Grammys, the Oscars, or any of those award
shows. Zero interest. But you've seen the Ricky
Gervais send up on the Golden Globes where he
says, shut up and get your award and thank your
God and leave the stage. And now he says, they're
not listening to us anymore. Yeah, well, after
that one actress went off on Free Palestine,
Screw Israel, and Fuck Ice. Fuck Ice was the
other thing. Yeah, that was ridiculous. You know
what? Whatever. That's why no one's watching
these shows. Who's watching them? And it's going
to be dead. Look, the whole culture, I mean,
I don't even know how they can afford to make
movies. That's why Netflix is in prime video.
They're the only ones out there being able to
make some of these episodes and movies. It's
because those are the only people getting subscriptions.
Apple. Apple's another one. Apple's making some
good stuff. Apple did F1. The what? The movie
F1. Yeah, isn't that A24 Studios? And that was
in the theaters. That was in theaters, but that
was an Apple movie. We rented that. Actually,
we bought it. And China basically owns Sony,
and they're funding a ton of the movies that
are out there. You're leasing it. China. I'm
leasing it until it goes away. Yes. Yeah, we
covered that on a previous podcast. When you
buy from a streaming service. I don't know. I
was able to download it. So does my downloadable
version go away? I don't. That's a good point.
I think that way you can keep it. So you have
it on a thumb drive or whatever? It's on my device.
I don't know if I could transfer it. Interesting.
I don't know. Do they come and grab it? I don't
know. That would be so wrong to buy a movie and
they have the ability when it leaves the streaming
service for them to pull it from here. Because
you're able to download it to watch it while
you're offline. That's true. You can do that
on Netflix and Amazon, but there's a time period
on those. Yeah, well, not when you purchase it.
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. That
does suck, though. I mean, I like buying all
my movies. I don't think that's ever going to
be a thing. Well, it's happened. That's why there's
a lawsuit. But not with Prime, right? Yeah, Amazon's
only getting sued. No. What, are they deciding
they're going to? Oh, so they yanked a couple
movies? Yeah. I wonder what movies they yanked.
I don't know. Debbie Does Dallas or something
that's inappropriate? Oh, they never yanked that.
Just the porns. I don't know. I'm kind of curious,
but Mr. Producer, why don't you pull up what?
are they being sued over? Because I'm kind of,
you know, I got to have my elf, you know. I've
got all of the Harry Potters. I've got all the
Lord of the Rings. At least about a shit ton
of Lord of the Rings. I don't think that's going
anywhere anytime soon. Well, you know, I bought
a bunch of different movies that I like to watch.
You know, I don't want to be messing around looking
for the discs anymore. But maybe it's a good
point. So let me read that summary. That was
actually good. Amazon is facing lawsuits for
allegedly misleading users about buying digital
movies and TV shows on its Prime Video platform,
which are actually limited time licenses that
can be removed from a user's library. A class
action lawsuit was filed in Washington Middle
Court in late August 2025. That's very recent.
Claiming this practice constitute a bait and
switch and violates consumer protection laws.
I like it. Interesting. One of the things I bought
through them, which I'm kind of curious, is Star
Wars. It was the one right before Star Wars.
Rogue One? Yeah, it was Rogue One. I bought that
through Amazon. Now that it's on Disney, I'm
wondering if that's one of the ones. I haven't
even checked to see if that's on there. I don't
know. Go see if you can play it. Interesting.
And now that Brokeback is on Paramount, you lost
that one too. I don't know what you're talking
about. I think you do. No? I don't. I have never,
ever seen Brokeback Mountain. I haven't either.
I just thought it was going to destroy Jake whatever,
Guy Langthal's career, but it hasn't. I didn't
even know who acted in the movie, so that's kind
of interesting. One of the guys killed himself.
That I know. I mean. Heath Ledger. Heath Ledger
killed himself. Oh, great. Not over that. It
was an accidental drug overdose. Still killed
himself. Jeff, you pulled this out of, we had
this, what, two, three years ago, right? 22,
so about three years ago, yeah. So we had this,
this was a while ago. So, you know, we didn't
score it very high based on the feedback. I don't
know. Did we record that, Chuck? We didn't care
for this, from what I remember. So it is, I mean,
I've taken some polls on it. It's got a very
heavy leather. tobacco background. There's not
a lot of sweetness in what I'm tasting. It's
kind of bitter. There is some bitterness to it.
Did we say what it was? Not yet. This is Blood
Oath Pact No. 8. Yeah, Pact No. 8, 2022. Yeah,
it's by Luxro. Luxro Distilleries. And this is
a special blend that their master blender, John
E. Rempe, I don't know how you say it. Does this
every year. So this was the eighth version, pack
number eight. And I think they're up to 10 or
11 now, obviously. So it's a blend of 14 -year
-old, 11, and 8 -year -old bourbons. And then
they age them in ex -Calvados casks after they've
been in the barrel. 98 .6 proof. But there is
some bitterness to it. I'm taking a heavier.
I've been sipping. I don't know if you guys noticed,
but I'm taking really small sips. I am getting
some sweetness, though. Yeah, well, when I took
a bigger pull right now, I got some sweetness.
It was raisins. But there's some sourness to
it or something. Yeah, there's something. I pick
up some sourness. Maybe it's the bitterness or
something. For what it is, it's very viscous
-y. See those thickness there? Yes, the legs.
Shout out to Larry Hawkeye. What do you think?
Yeah, the person that's reviewing this says they
pick up acidic and bitter notes. Yeah, that's
exactly. Acidic may be a good. Yeah, exactly
right. I said tart or sour. So it's like you're
eating an apple peel or something or an orange.
You know, when you get that bitter. Grind. When
you eat a rind or something like that. Yeah,
it's not a smooth, pleasant finish. Yeah. It
is not. I think I probably like it. mildly better
now than we probably tried it before. Yeah, it's
got room now. So, you know, and I'm tasting some
other stuff going on. It's a weird kind of butterscotch.
What is the, there's a chocolate, what is it,
Clark Bar? Heath Bar, the toffee. Yeah, it's
got kind of like a little toffee kind of bump
in there. Interesting. I do know that the label
reminds me of the U .S. Constitution. It's very
fancy with all this cryptic English script writing.
It's impossible to read. It's impossible to read,
which is kind of stupid to me. They could just
say, you know, the Latin, the e pluribus unum,
you know, when they just want fake text in there.
Right. They put that Latin in there. Yeah, sure.
If we were to, like, throw this into AI and say,
what does this say? We'd be like, what? I kind
of smell dill pickles. Dill pickles. Well, that
would be. That would be a tart smell. When I
stick my nostrils into the Glencairn. It's not
a nice nose either. A masterful union of three
well -bred... Wow, that is really difficult to
read because I took a picture of that and I pulled
it up on here. Well -bred something bourbons
all with exceptional pedigree. You know what?
Fuck that. I'm not doing that. 14 -year -old
that... Okay. It's a 14, an 11, and an 8. Yeah,
I mean, those are respectable aged bourbons.
I don't know what's gone wrong with this thing.
What is Calvados? What is that? I don't know
what that is. What is that flavor imparted in
this? The cask? Yeah, because it was finished
in a Calvados cask. It's a variety of brandy.
The apple cider. Oh, there you go. You said pear
or apple, didn't you? Oh, you said apple for
sure. Yeah, well, apple peel. And the bitterness,
right? Yeah. So Calvados, I've never heard of
it, but apple brandy. It's the Calvados region
of Normandy, France. No kidding. Yeah, I'm not
sure how we made it last time, but I tell you
what, I'm not going to be very flattering on
this one. Yeah. It's unique. I don't want to
kick it out of bed. I'm going to try to pull
down. I'm telling you, yeah, I agree with you.
Right now, it's not looking very good, so I'm
digging deep right now. We can't get it again,
unless it's in the aftermarket. You can't find
this on the shelves again. And that does not
give me heartburn. No. At all. What was the price
of it? $100? $100. See, that's another issue
I have. I don't know, man. There's even more
money now for the new packs. Right. The second
pull, I'm getting more and more like a niece.
I mean, it's growing on me. It is not for me.
Well, keep drinking it. Oh, I'll finish it. No
question about it. I like it better now than
the first time, because we were all just like,
bleh. Yeah, I'm liking it more and more. It's
getting thicker on my tongue, and I can taste
a little fruity on the back end. That bitterness
is getting me, though. Yeah, it's getting worse
to me, the bitterness. Yeah. All right, let's
rate it. I don't know what I rated last time,
but I'm going to give it a 5 .4. I was going
to be a 5 .8. Does it guys taste like pears?
No. That totally tastes like a pear. I like pears.
I don't taste anything like pears. That could
be the pear brandy, the Calvados. Are the two
ratings so far even close than what we did last
time? You did not rate it last time. Oh, we didn't
rate it? I think that was before we had the sheet.
Newly rated. That's how old this is. So this
is an old one. Again, it's not bad. I'm going
to give it a six. I don't want to give it a five
because... It's not horrible. It's not in my
wheelhouse, but it's not bad. I mean, none of
us are going to like, sir, I'm sorry I can't
drink this, but thank you for offering it to
me. None of us are going to say that. Does it
have coconut oil? With all the other options
we have, I mean, this is nowhere near the top
30. So hold on. I want to know what that word
is. Calvados is aged in sessile or pedunculate.
Oak barrels. What does pedunculate mean? Whoa,
yeah. What does that word mean? It means... Adjective.
Oh, yeah, clear. There you go. Pedunculate. Having
or support... That is stupid. Having or supported
on a peduncle. So what's a peduncle? Having a
peduncle or stalk. It's like a perniculum. pedunculated
definition. The meaning of pedunculated is having
or growing on or being attached by a peduncle.
That's just stupid. So what is that, like an
oak growth? Are they like, you know how those
oak trees have knots or something? A peduncle
is a stalk that supports a flower or fruit. So
how the hell was that related to a barrel? A
pedunculate? It referred to a stem that connects
a mass of tissue to a body in anatomy. Yeah.
Did he use that word wrong, maybe? Maybe. A pedunculate
barrel. Yeah. I think he used it wrong. He was
trying to be clever and didn't use it. It's a
part of a plan. A pedunculate oak barrel is a
barrel made from the wood of a Q -U -E -R -C
-U -S, robur, R -O -B -U -R tree. A Quercus robertree,
also known as the peduncate or English oak. So
it's an English oak. First a long stalk. What
was the other word? You highlighted another word
that you didn't know either. The Quercus? Q -U
-E -R -C -U -S? No, it's sessile. Sessile or
pedunculate. Permanently attached. What is going
on here? I feel like I failed. Vocabulary in
school. None of us understand. Sessile polyp
types of cancer risk. I don't know. This is crazy.
I think he's... Trying to be clever. Yeah. No,
but look. But right here, it says, a pedunculate
oak barrel is a barrel made from the wood of
a corcus robertree. All right. So look up sessile.
He did. It was cancerous. No, no, no. I want
whatever Sean's using. Oh, you mean the Q -U
-E -R? No, S -E -S -S -I -L -E. That's not in
here, though. I know, but look it up on yours.
Oh. It's right there. I know. Maybe he's getting
something different. It's not free moving. Because
he got a slightly different answer, so I'm thinking.
Is that S -E or S -E -S -S -I -L? S -E -S -S
-I -L -E. So sessile refers to organisms that
are permanently attached to a surface and do
not. have the ability to move on their own. Right,
which has nothing to do with a barrel. So this
is a different type of meaning for a barrel.
So I added the word oak barrel in there. A Cecil
oak barrel is a type of oak barrel made of the
wood of a Cecil oak tree, otherwise known as
a Quercus tree that I spoke of. Okay, so these
are... Are these like Latin words? No, these
are species of oak. It's possible. But they all
go back to an English oak tree. What does it
say? What does it say English oak instead of
pedunculate? Well, the pedunculate is another
form of an English oak tree because it makes
people like us look up what he's saying and be
like, whoa. So a pedunculate oak barrel is a
barrel made from that also known as English oak.
That's why I wanted to say English oak. Well,
I think they're trying to be specific as to like.
a specific kind of English oak and they're being...
Well, we have American oak. They're trying to
word whip it. I don't give a fuck. It's American
oak or English oak. Come on, Jeff. You just don't
know your English oaks. I guess not. I mean,
I'm kind of embarrassed for you because you're
clearly not... Everybody knows. All right. Hey,
Jeff, the main difference is that pedunculate
oak has short leaf stalks and long stalks, which
are with bare acorns, whereas a sessile is the
opposite with a long leaf stalk and virtually
no stalks associated with it. Duh. In your face.
Seriously, Jeff. In your face, Jeff. Maybe we
should take a break. Jeff is struggling. I'm
going to try to use that word every day, pedunculate.
Good luck. It's like toniculum. All right, kids.
You want to listen to pedunculate music? I bet
that would go great with a pedunculate shave.
What do they call a stave? Yeah, pedunculate
stave. I'm going to put my nose itches all of
a sudden. So we have – I'll tell you what. We've
got Around the Corner coming up. I mentioned
this last podcast was the Oktoberfest. It was
kind of funny because we were bringing up – I
was bringing up the last time we went, and we're
having such a great time, and the guys are out
there. They've got their mugs, and they're stretching
it out. How long can you hold it out? And their
hands are, like, shaking. And then they have,
like, the part where they get a bunch of people
out there, and they're all doing little German
dances. And then, you know, and I'm on my trampolines
every single day, so I'm kind of like, I've got
to do this. You feel good about yourself. And
they're jumping up. I'm going out there, and
I'm jumping left to right. And who's that filtered
about? 50, 60, 70 feet away and taking a video
of me doing a live stream on social media. His
name is Jeff. Sitting across from me. We're all
having fun. Is that what it was? I was taking
a video of all the people. You focused on you.
Dude, I was the people. But here's the thing.
You were completely demonstrating your trampoline
prowess. It was. We were impressed. I've never
seen a person leap. At least six feet in the
air. Like a leprechaun in his, what would he
call that? A leserhoden? A leserhoden. Leserhoden.
Okay. He was a leaping leprechaun. Leaping leprechaun.
I was a lord of leaping? It was one lord of leaping.
You're doing the river dance out there is what
you're doing. Whatever. I brought that up for
a reason. You ever have that friend that you're
out in public, you're having a good time, and
someone's taking... Look, Jeff is that guy. It's
not just out in public. When we are doing the
videos, when we're doing the audio stuff, Jeff
will send us a little snippet. I haven't done
that in a while. We need to go back to that.
Especially of Sean. Yeah, well, you know. Whatever.
We've got some good ones out there. Hey, you're
the life of the party, man. Well, you know what?
Jeff has files on all of us. Oh, yeah. On all
of us? Yeah. Well, no question. Including you.
I mean, I've got a picture of you. We haven't
even revealed a picture of you yet. Probably
most of it's on me. Yes, I get it. Just one.
And they're not flattering, ever. Yeah. Yeah.
Except the one that you and I have headbands
on. Those were do -rags. Do -rags, yeah. We were
so shit -faced. You know what's crazy is that
when I have my TV on in my office, when it goes
to sleep mode, it automatically... reverts to
uh amazon's photo library it does a screensaver
and one of the first pictures that shows up is
you and paul during the whiskey uh tasting event
where we're blown up and you guys have your do
-rags on from oak and eden i don't even know
where that was it was awful That was terrible.
That was terrible. I got evac'd on that one,
too. With or without Hillary Clinton joining
us. I think Hillary, that's where Paul was sniffing
her shoulder. That's right. No. I've pictured.
Oh, the picture. The picture, yes. It's crazy.
I'll be honest. I was so shit -faced. I don't
remember her being there. Yeah, she was. So that's
impressive. It's crazy that the next day we traveled
to Colorado. Yeah, that was the day. Yes. And
you left even earlier than we did because you
had to drive that U -Haul. That's right. That's
right, because your son was moving in somewhere.
No, your friend was moving in, helping a friend
move in. And you got drafted into that somehow.
You sure did. Whatever. It's over with now. And
you know what else is over with? And it doesn't
matter because they don't listen to the podcast,
but you ever have your kids break up with their
significant others? Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
No, it's okay. There are people that get upset
during these things. It's very one -sided. Sometimes
it's amicable. With one of my kids, it became
amicable, yet they're both kind of upset. I later
learned that things aren't always as fantastic
as you think they are. So they put on a good
show and there was some drama behind the scenes?
I think Austin may have internalized a lot of
it. He held on to some resentments. I think a
lot of people do that. They're not strong enough
to really say something in the time. They're
trying to be the good person. These are things
that you learn through emotional growth when
you're working with your mate. Whatever your
mate's going to be in the future, you've got
to learn to give and take. You've got to learn
to be able to speak your mind, and you've got
to be able to feel comfortable doing that. How
long did they date? Eight months -ish. Yeah.
I mean, there's something scientific. Like when
you first meet somebody and you're in love, it's
literally measurable in the blood, right? And
you overlook all of their faults. You celebrate
everything. It's once you get past that. And
then it wears off. It literally is a physical
thing that wears off. And then suddenly you start
to, it's almost like the wool's been slightly
pulled from your eyes. There was some other stuff
going on. We're not going to talk too much about
it, but moreover, I want to just talk about how
relationships kind of change. They do. It's for
the better and the worse. Austin's going to college,
so nobody really needs to be distracted with
relationships, because especially long -distance
ones are so difficult. I told both boys that,
even through high school, I was like, girls are
a distraction right now. Dude. Yes, they're a
lot of fun. Go on dates, but a girlfriend? They're
a distraction. So the semester before I met Shelly
at A &M, I had a 4 .0. That semester. Not the
whole thing, but that semester. Then I met Shelly.
Were you taking one class? No, I was taking four.
But anyway, then I met Shelly, and I got a 2
.2. Oh, yeah. And I had to retake one of the
classes. Oh, you're like, thanks. Yeah, seriously.
Unbelievable. Anyway, it was worth it. I do.
The girls have effect on you. Yeah, it was worth
it. We've been married 29 years, so I guess it
paid off. 29 years? Yeah, that was Sunday. Our
29th anniversary. 29. Yeah, we got 28 in April.
You know what's sad? That's super cool. But what's
sad is we woke up Saturday. Remember, I've had
a shit week, right? I woke up Sunday morning.
No, 29 in April. Yeah, nice. We both woke up
Sunday morning. Maybe an hour had gone into the
morning and Shelly goes, oh, by the way, happy
anniversary. I was like, oh my God, I totally
forgot. We both forgot. The morning of. Did you
still have your CPAP in her mouth guard? And
she had her mouth guard. And I'm like, my wife
would have woke up with something else in her
mouth. Oh God. Happy anniversary. Thank you.
Ho, ho, ho. Wow. Well, you know what? Hey, one
last note, if the music hasn't started yet. You
were talking about our, the Plano Whiskey Festival.
Oh, yep. Yep, yep. So the doctor, I went to the
knee doctor today, right? Ooh. And that doctor
is the doctor that at the World of Whiskies,
remember when I was getting all sorts of shit?
I was promoting the podcast? Yeah. And all those
guys were standing around. And that guy was being
a butthead? Well. He wasn't, but the other two,
when they found out I didn't watch Animal House,
they were giving me all sorts of shit. That doctor
is my knee doctor now. One of those four guys.
I said, do you remember me? And he's like, man,
I don't know. I go, do you remember World of
Whiskies? And a guy that didn't see Animal House
and you were giving me shit. He's like, yes,
I remember you. Anyway, that's my knee doctor
now. So there you go. Isn't that funny? Did you
talk to him about the podcast? You know, he came
in. Give me 300 bucks. Yeah, you know how that
is. Thank you, man. I have long conversations,
perhaps maybe a little. He does not have zippable
gloves. Oh, okay. They're snaps. Check us out
on Facebook. Check us out on Instagram. We are
the Dudes Like Us show. We're happy to be here
every single Tuesday. We are. You guys got anything
you want to add? Negative, no. We have a whole
second half. You got a second half we're going
to get prepped for. Hey, Chuck, thank you. Stick
around for the second half. We barely even touched
the list here. Dudes Like Us. I'm Sean. I'm Paul.
And I'm Jeff.
