WEBVTT

00:00:02.439 --> 00:00:05.379
I was a little late. It was very late. We have

00:00:05.379 --> 00:00:07.040
to start over. It's going to be way off. Dang

00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:09.740
it. We have all kinds of new toys. We do. It's

00:00:09.740 --> 00:00:12.119
overwhelming. I know. I'm sure I'd turn my phone

00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:14.480
off. I guarantee nothing's going to work. Chuck

00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:19.980
has everything under control. I do not. Did he

00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:22.059
even say we were going to go for a podcast? Yes.

00:00:22.059 --> 00:00:25.059
I did. He did. And here we are. We are going.

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:27.719
We are going in podcast. Giving yourself cranial

00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:30.179
damage by banging your headphones against it.

00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:33.780
Yes. Did you see that? We did. Everyone's going

00:00:33.780 --> 00:00:35.000
to see it now. What's a little knot? There is

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.200
a red mark on your forehead. Stretch that thing

00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:40.740
out. All right. Well, look. Thanksgiving just

00:00:40.740 --> 00:00:43.259
happened. It did. It did. Yeah. So we're going

00:00:43.259 --> 00:00:45.460
to talk about that. We got Jeff Lynn on the...

00:00:46.179 --> 00:00:48.520
On another excursion. Another. Yes, another.

00:00:48.820 --> 00:00:51.100
You kind of remind me of some of these engineers.

00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:54.039
Shout out to JSL, David Jimenez. I know he doesn't

00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:55.280
listen to the podcast, so it doesn't matter anyways,

00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:59.119
but he's always going on vacation. Always. Always.

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.340
It's the next month. I think I'm going on vacation

00:01:03.340 --> 00:01:05.519
again. And good for him, because you know what?

00:01:05.540 --> 00:01:06.959
He's younger. He can't. He doesn't have any kids.

00:01:07.019 --> 00:01:09.980
You, semi -retired rap bastard, he's going on

00:01:09.980 --> 00:01:11.459
all these little excursions. It's good times.

00:01:11.459 --> 00:01:13.980
You can talk about that, too, going out to Fredericksburg.

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.079
Down to Fredericksburg, yeah. The whole week,

00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:19.459
right? Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. We drove back

00:01:19.459 --> 00:01:22.140
on actually Wednesday evening. Oh, okay. Because

00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:27.280
Julie wanted to ride the... Run the... Wanted

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.719
to ride the Barker Express. She wanted to run

00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:35.099
the Turkey Trot. So we did that Thursday. Nice.

00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.299
Okay, we're good. All right, we are back. It's

00:01:38.299 --> 00:01:40.959
December 2nd. It's December 2nd. You know what,

00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.579
man? December 2nd is a bad day. And I'll talk

00:01:44.579 --> 00:01:46.319
about that because I just saw the date and I

00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:48.319
was kind of like, oh my God, it reminds me. December

00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:51.799
2nd, 1985. Remind me. I'll bring this up. December

00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:58.239
2nd, 2025. We got a huge podcast set up for you

00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:01.019
listeners out there. I don't know. I kind of

00:02:01.019 --> 00:02:02.939
lost my track. Dudes Like Us. I'm Sean. I'm Paul.

00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:06.000
And I'm Jeff. And Mr. Producer, Mr. Chuck back

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.979
there. At the helm, taking on more... Yeah, I

00:02:09.979 --> 00:02:12.020
was going to say, this may be our first video

00:02:12.020 --> 00:02:16.020
podcast. If everything works out, you may see

00:02:16.020 --> 00:02:18.740
these beautiful mugs on YouTube. In its entirety?

00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.960
Like the whole podcast? Why not? Why not? Whoa,

00:02:22.060 --> 00:02:25.120
this is okay. It's very exciting. Jeff's got

00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.039
his like Steven Seagal black shirt on. I do,

00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.900
and my flannels. Yeah. No, we can see the flannels.

00:02:30.939 --> 00:02:32.060
That's good. Well, now we have to think about

00:02:32.060 --> 00:02:33.400
that. I'm not wearing anything. Yeah, we have

00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:35.319
to think about that stuff. We have to, I don't

00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:35.979
know how we're going to do it. Do I have to wear

00:02:35.979 --> 00:02:38.259
like makeup now? I'm going to wear like a tube

00:02:38.259 --> 00:02:41.740
top. Nice. Hey, guys. Maybe just like flower.

00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:43.580
What do they put on for makeup? What is that?

00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:49.060
Is it? It's like dusting powder. Pancake. Is

00:02:49.060 --> 00:02:51.580
it pancake that was Bisquick? To fill in all

00:02:51.580 --> 00:02:54.039
the lines and pores and shit so they look smooth.

00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:56.620
It's like those politicians back in the 1800s

00:02:56.620 --> 00:02:59.780
or 1700s with the powdered wigs and the white

00:02:59.780 --> 00:03:04.560
face. That's what we need to do. Do you like

00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:08.020
that sound? Not really. Not at all. You can hear

00:03:08.020 --> 00:03:09.599
it, too. It just went right through the mic.

00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:11.699
All right. Well, look. So Thanksgiving happened.

00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.479
It did. And we can talk a little bit about that.

00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.360
We want to start off with your Fredericksburg.

00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.800
Why did you go to Fredericksburg? And explain,

00:03:20.979 --> 00:03:22.539
not necessarily Fredericksburg, but why did you

00:03:22.539 --> 00:03:24.800
go out of town as opposed to, because this is

00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:26.919
the dudes like us thing. It happens. Well, it's

00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:30.259
different for us this year. We're empty nesters

00:03:30.259 --> 00:03:33.259
now, and both our boys have fiancés, so which

00:03:33.259 --> 00:03:35.580
come with fiancés are different families. Yeah.

00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.280
And different expectations. Especially the fact

00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:39.620
that you have boys that are going to spend time

00:03:39.620 --> 00:03:42.270
with their fiancés' families. Right, right. So

00:03:42.270 --> 00:03:44.789
my oldest and his fiance went out of town for

00:03:44.789 --> 00:03:47.210
her birthday. Her birthday is on Thanksgiving,

00:03:47.370 --> 00:03:50.789
depending on how it falls, right? So he took

00:03:50.789 --> 00:03:53.030
her out to celebrate her birthday. They went

00:03:53.030 --> 00:03:55.990
out of town to some Airbnb or something like

00:03:55.990 --> 00:03:58.689
that. Cool. The end of the week. So he wasn't

00:03:58.689 --> 00:03:59.969
able to make it. They weren't able to make it.

00:04:00.129 --> 00:04:04.969
And Steven and his fiance had a gathering on

00:04:04.969 --> 00:04:06.750
her side of the family on Thursday. Right. So

00:04:06.750 --> 00:04:09.530
we're like, no problem. We'll do ours on Friday.

00:04:09.729 --> 00:04:12.419
So we're like. Maybe we go out of town. We were

00:04:12.419 --> 00:04:14.319
looking at New York for a little while because

00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:18.379
she had a business trip that was originally supposed

00:04:18.379 --> 00:04:20.100
to go to New York City. So she's like, well,

00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.620
let's go up there and we could spend the week.

00:04:22.620 --> 00:04:23.579
And they were like, then we're going to have

00:04:23.579 --> 00:04:26.060
to deal with Macy Day Parade bullshit and the

00:04:26.060 --> 00:04:29.120
increased prices that that brings. And we're

00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.639
like, no, we're not going to do that. So I was

00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:33.139
like, well, let's drive down to Fredericksburg.

00:04:33.180 --> 00:04:35.540
We love going down there. But you ever been to

00:04:35.540 --> 00:04:38.379
the Macy's Parade? No. I mean, I don't have any

00:04:38.379 --> 00:04:40.620
desire to go to either, but can you imagine being

00:04:40.620 --> 00:04:42.959
out there and you could volunteer? Hey, I'm here.

00:04:43.019 --> 00:04:45.100
My name's Jeff. I'm here for the dudes like us.

00:04:45.100 --> 00:04:46.699
I'm volunteering to hold one of the balloons

00:04:46.699 --> 00:04:49.959
down. They give you a little tether. Like Garfield?

00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:52.800
Yeah, but then you'd be that guy that gets pulled

00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.259
up in the air. No, to get flinging around. Did

00:04:55.259 --> 00:04:56.959
you ever see that one where they lost control

00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.019
of it and they had to gut it? Like a pink panther

00:04:59.019 --> 00:05:00.660
or something. Yeah, they had to gut it and kill

00:05:00.660 --> 00:05:03.579
it and bring it down. Was it like a pinata with

00:05:03.579 --> 00:05:06.939
entrails falling out? No. Well, this year they

00:05:06.939 --> 00:05:08.660
had Door of the Explorer. They had all kinds

00:05:08.660 --> 00:05:10.199
of stuff going on, but Door of the Explorer was

00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.199
going down the, I don't know what street they

00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.420
go down in front of Macy's in New York City,

00:05:15.500 --> 00:05:17.279
but they're going down the street. They got Door

00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:18.939
of the Explorer. Guess what's behind Door of

00:05:18.939 --> 00:05:22.360
the Explorer? They got a balloon that's the ice

00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:24.800
agent, and it's going after door, and it's bouncing

00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:28.680
up and down. Nice. I think that was AI. I'm not

00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:31.259
quite sure. What they go through, like the level

00:05:31.259 --> 00:05:33.220
of effort and planning and execution of that

00:05:33.220 --> 00:05:35.300
is actually pretty impressive. And the dancers,

00:05:35.420 --> 00:05:38.000
like the Broadway dancers and the shows that

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.199
they put on, like outside in the street. I mean,

00:05:40.220 --> 00:05:43.199
it's pretty intense, man. I've watched snippets

00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:44.759
of the Macy's Day Parade, but that was never

00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.019
a thing in my family, at least to watch every

00:05:48.019 --> 00:05:50.759
Thanksgiving. So I would tune them in and there'd

00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:54.540
be some. There it is. Oh, that's okay. That's

00:05:54.540 --> 00:05:57.300
AI for sure. Oh, 100%. They would never do that.

00:05:57.420 --> 00:06:00.220
Yeah, but it's still funny. I mean, it is what

00:06:00.220 --> 00:06:03.160
it isn't. That's great. How do we know it's not

00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:06.579
real? So, unusual entertainment and odd choices

00:06:06.579 --> 00:06:11.980
for the Macy's Parade. So, first of all, you

00:06:11.980 --> 00:06:13.819
had Shaggy. First of all, the performers, they

00:06:13.819 --> 00:06:16.139
did well. I mean, they're amazingly talented.

00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.079
Well, the dancers, you know, but everyone was

00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:22.079
lip syncing. Correct. Which is fine. I mean,

00:06:22.100 --> 00:06:24.000
it'd be kind of cool if it was live, but there

00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:27.100
are things that you just get over. But they had

00:06:27.100 --> 00:06:29.660
Shaggy. Are you guys familiar with the singer,

00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:35.680
Shaggy? Yes. One of the songs. Where you got

00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.120
top banging the next door neighbor. It wasn't

00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:39.959
me. So it wasn't me. The early 2000 hits about

00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:41.759
a man cheating on his partner with the neighbor

00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.120
was performed in front of the children. Oh, nice.

00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.540
On the Jenny O Big Turkey spectacular float.

00:06:49.550 --> 00:06:51.569
Banging on the bathroom floor. That was like

00:06:51.569 --> 00:06:54.889
one big hit. Or biggest hit, I should say. Why

00:06:54.889 --> 00:06:57.389
would you... It's an inappropriate song. It's

00:06:57.389 --> 00:07:00.310
highly inappropriate. And look, it's... Does

00:07:00.310 --> 00:07:02.269
anything shock you anymore? I think it even says

00:07:02.269 --> 00:07:04.990
banging on the bathroom floor. This song's explicitly

00:07:04.990 --> 00:07:07.490
adult theme led many viewers to question the

00:07:07.490 --> 00:07:09.910
choice for the performance. He does have some

00:07:09.910 --> 00:07:12.449
other songs. You know, at least one more. I mean...

00:07:12.910 --> 00:07:17.509
Lil Jon performed Turn Down for What. And it

00:07:17.509 --> 00:07:19.790
sounded great. They were out there dancing. It

00:07:19.790 --> 00:07:23.589
was classy, high energy. A fake celebrity performed

00:07:23.589 --> 00:07:26.730
evidently. Many viewers were confused by the

00:07:26.730 --> 00:07:29.850
appearance of Mr. Fantasy, a pirate costume performer

00:07:29.850 --> 00:07:34.970
who some correctly speculated was actor KJ Apa.

00:07:35.230 --> 00:07:36.589
I don't know who that is. I have no idea who

00:07:36.589 --> 00:07:39.970
that is. And you're saying it should have been

00:07:39.970 --> 00:07:41.810
somebody else and it was like a stand -in for

00:07:41.810 --> 00:07:44.009
him or something? I guess so. I mean, if you're

00:07:44.009 --> 00:07:45.529
lip -syncing, what difference does it make, right?

00:07:45.629 --> 00:07:47.149
I mean, you can put anybody up there. You could

00:07:47.149 --> 00:07:49.509
put Vanilla Ill... No, Vanilla... Milly Vanilly.

00:07:49.649 --> 00:07:52.750
Vanilla Illy? Vanilla Illy Vanilly. Vanilla Illy.

00:07:53.230 --> 00:07:55.250
Is that the white version of Milly Vanilly? Vanilla

00:07:55.250 --> 00:08:01.360
Illy? It is Vanilla Vanilly. So lip -syncing

00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:03.579
and tech issues. There were some technical issues,

00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:05.560
too. Viewers complained online about the parade's

00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:08.259
poor broadcast quality on NBC and Peacock, citing

00:08:08.259 --> 00:08:11.139
lagging video audio synchronization issues and

00:08:11.139 --> 00:08:14.360
singers obviously lip -syncing. John Legend defended

00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:16.740
the lip -syncing on ex -formerly ex -Twitter,

00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:18.639
noting that the floats can't support the technical

00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:20.720
equipment needed for live performances. Whatever.

00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:23.560
It's a parade. Yes, I mean, it's about... being

00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:25.620
outside and having fun and all that kind of stuff.

00:08:25.779 --> 00:08:28.899
I don't know. There is an element to having a

00:08:28.899 --> 00:08:31.519
live performance, you know, and I understand

00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:34.159
that there's a lot that goes into it, you know,

00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:37.259
but at the same time, forget about it. Yeah.

00:08:37.379 --> 00:08:39.600
I'm not in there for 20 seconds. I'm not in there.

00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.500
It doesn't do much for me. I actually, I mean,

00:08:42.539 --> 00:08:44.940
we had it on. It wasn't like we were like, it's

00:08:44.940 --> 00:08:46.779
a tradition. No, we got up in the morning and

00:08:46.779 --> 00:08:50.440
just the two of us were there. Yeah. Shelly's

00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:51.980
like, we'll put the parade on. I was like, though,

00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.299
parade okay yeah julie washes it so that's how

00:08:54.299 --> 00:08:55.940
i've seen it because i think she watched it growing

00:08:55.940 --> 00:08:58.139
up so i'd plug it in while she cooked or something

00:08:58.139 --> 00:09:00.279
i've never really been a look i haven't been

00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:02.659
a fan of it but i haven't been against it i don't

00:09:02.659 --> 00:09:04.500
like oh yeah let's turn on the parade because

00:09:04.500 --> 00:09:08.399
my wife tara she she loves to watch it she puts

00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:10.440
it on and it was crazy time because we get up

00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:12.879
we got up early for some reason and we turn it

00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:14.899
on and it like immediately started it was like

00:09:14.899 --> 00:09:16.700
we turned it on and hey we're live now we're

00:09:16.700 --> 00:09:18.159
starting up that i was like oh my god this is

00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:24.679
perfect timing We actually watched it for a little

00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.440
bit. That's what I'm saying. It's not a priority

00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:29.299
for you, but when it's on, hey, why not? It's

00:09:29.299 --> 00:09:31.200
kind of cool to watch. I'm going to tell you,

00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:34.100
this year is a little bit kind of weird. Hold

00:09:34.100 --> 00:09:36.500
on. That weird is not the correct word. This

00:09:36.500 --> 00:09:41.340
Christmas, Thanksgiving, it's odd. I'll say odd.

00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:44.440
It's odd in a good way. It's odd because when

00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:46.960
we come over here to Jeff's house, I think last

00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:49.220
week or the week before, whenever that was. It's

00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:50.919
been a couple weeks since we had a podcast. And

00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:53.059
Julie had already put up the Christmas tree.

00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:56.320
Yeah. She was early. It's not just you. There

00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:59.399
are several people that I've met that I spoke

00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:01.519
with, and all of them did the same thing. And

00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:04.529
it's usually, you know. I don't know. People

00:10:04.529 --> 00:10:06.309
are stressed and oh my gosh, we got to get this.

00:10:06.490 --> 00:10:09.750
It was kind of refreshing to see it all out early.

00:10:09.870 --> 00:10:12.730
Lights up around the neighborhood early. No rushing

00:10:12.730 --> 00:10:15.590
around. I'm starting to get into the Christmas

00:10:15.590 --> 00:10:18.450
spirit now. I got lights up at our house. We're

00:10:18.450 --> 00:10:23.629
in Christmas mode. The wife, up in the attic.

00:10:23.750 --> 00:10:26.190
This is the dudes like us thing. Getting down

00:10:26.190 --> 00:10:28.090
Christmas ornaments out of the attic. It's a

00:10:28.090 --> 00:10:30.549
pain in the ass. Huge pain in the ass. My wife's

00:10:30.549 --> 00:10:31.830
like, all right, you want to take the crates

00:10:31.830 --> 00:10:33.960
back upstairs? I'm like, No, I'm going to put

00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:35.679
them in the study because otherwise I'm just

00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:37.340
bringing them right back downstairs in 30 days.

00:10:37.460 --> 00:10:39.539
Right. So they're in my study. Well, see, I got

00:10:39.539 --> 00:10:41.480
a pass this year because I had my knee surgery.

00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:44.559
Yeah, and I was like - You didn't make Shelly

00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:46.480
go up there and get it? No, Shelly was going

00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.700
to, but Dylan and Brody and Dawson all just -

00:10:49.700 --> 00:10:51.159
It's good. Yeah, they went up there and brought

00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:52.559
everything down. I was like - That's why we have

00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.960
boys. Exactly. My girls did a lot. Yeah. I went

00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.129
ahead - I didn't want to bring it back up in

00:11:00.129 --> 00:11:02.669
the attic. So instead of putting him, I don't

00:11:02.669 --> 00:11:04.450
have anywhere else to put him. So I went out

00:11:04.450 --> 00:11:08.850
to Costco and I bought some shelves and the big

00:11:08.850 --> 00:11:10.929
old industrial size one. I got two sets. The

00:11:10.929 --> 00:11:12.750
big metal ones. Yeah, the big metal ones. I got

00:11:12.750 --> 00:11:16.149
two. For the garage. For the garage. And I constructed

00:11:16.149 --> 00:11:21.269
a wooden wheel system for it. So now it rolls.

00:11:21.889 --> 00:11:25.509
So now I got two and I'm like. So it's not attached

00:11:25.509 --> 00:11:27.129
to the ceiling. You're saying you have it on

00:11:27.129 --> 00:11:29.169
the ground and you're rolling it around. If need

00:11:29.169 --> 00:11:32.090
be. Where are you going to roll it to? Back and

00:11:32.090 --> 00:11:34.210
forth in the garage. If I need to sweep behind

00:11:34.210 --> 00:11:37.649
it, perhaps. Interesting. Really? I don't know.

00:11:38.529 --> 00:11:41.330
The thing is that I want to be able to move stuff

00:11:41.330 --> 00:11:46.120
around. Whatever. Is it like little plastic casters

00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:49.720
or big knobby tires? They're not knobby, but

00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:52.919
they're the industrial -sized rubber. So you

00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:54.960
had like eight inches to the height of this thing?

00:11:55.299 --> 00:11:58.659
It's roughly about five. Jeff, have you met Sean?

00:11:59.059 --> 00:12:03.259
Do you not know he over -engineers and plans

00:12:03.259 --> 00:12:06.440
for any possible need for this rolling? You guys

00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:11.059
also know that I constructed the wooden colossal

00:12:11.059 --> 00:12:14.639
in the garage right now. reclaimed wood. Not

00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:16.259
reclaimed, but just wood laying around in my

00:12:16.259 --> 00:12:19.419
garage. And I put together a shelf system. And

00:12:19.419 --> 00:12:23.440
I'm about to deconstruct it. And I'm going to

00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:28.220
go buy three more shelf units. Nice. And construct

00:12:28.220 --> 00:12:32.379
more wheeled items. I'm going to do the hanging

00:12:32.379 --> 00:12:35.399
platform. You push the button and it lowers?

00:12:35.580 --> 00:12:38.240
Just not get crazy. How much space is between

00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:41.919
the garage door and the ceiling when it's up?

00:12:45.869 --> 00:12:48.730
Wheel. Mine, there's quite a bit. So I have the

00:12:48.730 --> 00:12:51.789
extended garage, right? Mine is, yes, mine's

00:12:51.789 --> 00:12:56.269
six feet. Not wider, just longer. So I've got,

00:12:56.289 --> 00:12:58.669
yes, I've got like six feet. So not as girthy.

00:12:59.409 --> 00:13:02.389
It's not as girthy. It's like long and skinny.

00:13:02.629 --> 00:13:05.340
Like a boar. Yeah, what do they call that? A

00:13:05.340 --> 00:13:08.659
chode. It's a cheed. Oh, my God. It's a cheed,

00:13:08.659 --> 00:13:11.399
not a chode. Anyway, so I don't know. I have

00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:13.299
the hanging one, so I think that's going to be

00:13:13.299 --> 00:13:16.639
my plan. You know, those work for taller garages.

00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:18.899
If you've got a taller garage, those are fantastic

00:13:18.899 --> 00:13:20.600
because it's up in the air. It's out of the way.

00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:22.679
You know, I've got like a regular nine -foot

00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:27.360
garage thing. I did a claim today. I did my job

00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:30.559
today, and I had to go to a building. They sold

00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:36.759
workout equipment. saunas uh cold plunges uh

00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:41.779
stuff like that uh but they also had flooring

00:13:41.779 --> 00:13:46.039
so they had the mats the rubber mats used in

00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:49.460
gymnasiums and they were two foot by two foot

00:13:49.460 --> 00:13:52.879
and they were the thick Half inch. Like the jigsaw

00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:55.259
puzzle thing? Yes. Yeah. And they were super

00:13:55.259 --> 00:13:57.440
heavy duty. And I was like, well, I mean, can

00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:00.419
I roll things across this pretty easy? I have

00:14:00.419 --> 00:14:03.340
a weight system that rolls on wheels. He says,

00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:05.980
oh, yeah, these are super dense. I was like,

00:14:06.019 --> 00:14:08.700
well, how much is it for a two foot by two foot

00:14:08.700 --> 00:14:12.899
little carpet pad? Each square, yeah. 15 bucks.

00:14:13.340 --> 00:14:16.940
One five. For one square. For one square. And

00:14:16.940 --> 00:14:20.269
you only need 400 of them. I mean, you need some,

00:14:20.509 --> 00:14:22.710
but I mean, look, the alternative for me was

00:14:22.710 --> 00:14:25.850
I was going to epoxy the floor, have Wes go in

00:14:25.850 --> 00:14:28.049
there and buff that whole thing down. I would

00:14:28.049 --> 00:14:31.470
love that, by the way. And just because I really,

00:14:31.529 --> 00:14:33.309
that's another reason why I want to get rid of

00:14:33.309 --> 00:14:36.330
that wooden shelf unit I put in there, because

00:14:36.330 --> 00:14:38.610
I really want to kind of like turn the garage

00:14:38.610 --> 00:14:41.590
into something a little bit less, you know, just

00:14:41.590 --> 00:14:44.440
because, I mean, the kids go out there to. smoke

00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:46.000
their reefer whatever the hell they're doing

00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:47.980
and their friends are all out there but whatever

00:14:47.980 --> 00:14:50.559
i mean i joke about that sort of but you know

00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:52.779
but i mean i want to be able to go out there

00:14:52.779 --> 00:14:55.460
and do something and have like a kind of a an

00:14:55.460 --> 00:14:57.899
area where to do it but whatever i would like

00:14:57.899 --> 00:14:59.799
flowing in the garage as well so i mean are you

00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:01.919
saying that that flowing might work in the garage

00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:05.139
absolutely really absolutely park a car on it

00:15:05.139 --> 00:15:08.259
oh yeah easily this thing is super heavy duty

00:15:08.259 --> 00:15:12.070
it's designed For weights? For heavy -duty weights.

00:15:12.250 --> 00:15:14.429
Dropping them, bam, on the floor, you know? Wow.

00:15:14.690 --> 00:15:16.470
I've got them. I don't have the heavy -duty ones.

00:15:16.549 --> 00:15:19.809
I've got a, I don't know, maybe a 15 by 15 foot

00:15:19.809 --> 00:15:22.710
square downstairs. Really? Underneath, yeah,

00:15:22.789 --> 00:15:25.490
the work area there. It's nice. Interesting.

00:15:25.570 --> 00:15:27.169
Yeah, and they have to look at it. I don't have

00:15:27.169 --> 00:15:28.909
the heavy -duty ones, but I've got, they're about

00:15:28.909 --> 00:15:31.950
an inch thick maybe. Interesting. And it's nice

00:15:31.950 --> 00:15:34.750
to work on. Yeah, it's better for your feet and

00:15:34.750 --> 00:15:36.610
your back and your, you know. Well, Jeff likes

00:15:36.610 --> 00:15:38.909
to lay down out there sometimes. I do. Oh. Because

00:15:38.909 --> 00:15:40.490
when we're lasering stuff, it's kind of like,

00:15:40.529 --> 00:15:42.049
eh, it's not going to be ready for 15 minutes.

00:15:42.350 --> 00:15:45.529
He's like, Julie's in the shower, taking a nap.

00:15:46.029 --> 00:15:48.049
But why are you always nude? You said nude again.

00:15:48.210 --> 00:15:51.009
Did you say nude? He did. He did. You're sweating

00:15:51.009 --> 00:15:54.750
out there. Oh. So the shelf units, I'm excited

00:15:54.750 --> 00:15:57.730
about it because I'm going to take those totes

00:15:57.730 --> 00:15:59.110
and I'm going to put them in the garage and file

00:15:59.110 --> 00:16:02.509
them away. And then now, me being OCD and Sean,

00:16:02.690 --> 00:16:05.889
God, you know how... frustrating it is to be

00:16:05.889 --> 00:16:07.149
Sean sometimes. You're going to have to get all

00:16:07.149 --> 00:16:10.330
matching totes. I did. I went to Amazon and I

00:16:10.330 --> 00:16:16.610
ordered 16 totes. 58 quart totes. These are just

00:16:16.610 --> 00:16:20.970
bins. Yep. Plastic bins. Yep. For the garage.

00:16:21.169 --> 00:16:22.629
Transparent ones. Are you going to label them?

00:16:23.029 --> 00:16:25.149
No, that's why I got the transparent one so we

00:16:25.149 --> 00:16:27.590
can see what's in it. I will probably label them.

00:16:27.610 --> 00:16:30.110
Oh, you've got to have labels. Yeah. Come on.

00:16:30.539 --> 00:16:32.500
What are you thinking? I'll do some dry erase

00:16:32.500 --> 00:16:35.299
marker. You have to itemize what everything's

00:16:35.299 --> 00:16:38.279
in there. Hey, man, I was excited. Like I was

00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:40.919
putting stuff up and I've got these Ziploc bags

00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:43.379
and they, you know, you got like the little ones

00:16:43.379 --> 00:16:45.799
for sandwiches. You got the gallon one. I've

00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.100
got like four gallon Ziploc bags. I mean, they're

00:16:48.100 --> 00:16:50.720
ridiculous. And I was putting Christmas shit

00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:53.940
in there, organizing stuff, just having a. A

00:16:53.940 --> 00:16:56.620
blast. I have so much to do in my garage. It's

00:16:56.620 --> 00:16:59.100
unorganized. When I look for tools, I get all

00:16:59.100 --> 00:17:01.940
pissed off because it's not where it's supposed

00:17:01.940 --> 00:17:04.380
to be. And I don't want to blame my son, but

00:17:04.380 --> 00:17:07.000
every single time he goes in there, he tries

00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:09.339
to clean up and he puts stuff all over the place

00:17:09.339 --> 00:17:10.839
and it's really frustrating. Well, part of it's

00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:14.720
my boys, but most of it's me because I'll...

00:17:15.270 --> 00:17:17.150
I'll go down there and I'll get something. And

00:17:17.150 --> 00:17:19.089
then when I'm done, I won't necessarily put it

00:17:19.089 --> 00:17:21.529
exactly back. You have to. So I'll take ownership

00:17:21.529 --> 00:17:24.089
of that. And it drives me fucking nuts. I hate

00:17:24.089 --> 00:17:25.670
it. I'll go out there and I'll be looking for

00:17:25.670 --> 00:17:27.710
my drill. I'm like, where did I put it? Right.

00:17:27.809 --> 00:17:30.190
Where did I set it down? Right. You know? I know

00:17:30.190 --> 00:17:32.829
it. It could be anywhere in there. Yeah, because

00:17:32.829 --> 00:17:35.809
I had to fix my furnace over Thanksgiving weekend.

00:17:36.089 --> 00:17:38.210
Oh, really? It wasn't getting gas or something?

00:17:38.450 --> 00:17:41.930
It would glow and fire up and then shut off.

00:17:42.679 --> 00:17:44.779
My downstairs one's broken right now. I got a

00:17:44.779 --> 00:17:47.980
part on order. Yeah. So I had to do some troubleshooting

00:17:47.980 --> 00:17:51.579
and I checked the glow stick. I checked the flame

00:17:51.579 --> 00:17:53.859
sensor and it ended up being the pressure sensor.

00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:58.359
And I replaced it and vroom. And you know how

00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:01.640
much that would have cost if I called an HVAC

00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:06.509
guy? 20 bucks? No, Jeff. Pretty sure it would

00:18:06.509 --> 00:18:08.670
have been a lot more. Most of the time they tell

00:18:08.670 --> 00:18:10.349
you you need a whole new unit, right? Oh, this

00:18:10.349 --> 00:18:14.289
one's 20 years old and the coils are shot. It's

00:18:14.289 --> 00:18:16.970
going to be 10 grand. You know how often that

00:18:16.970 --> 00:18:19.690
happens to people who have no idea what's going

00:18:19.690 --> 00:18:24.930
on? And even if they replace that part, just

00:18:24.930 --> 00:18:28.369
the $30 part, it would have taken me 10 minutes

00:18:28.369 --> 00:18:30.170
if I knew exactly what it was to begin with.

00:18:30.719 --> 00:18:33.019
They have to charge, what, like four hours worth

00:18:33.019 --> 00:18:36.799
of labor and overcharge for the price. It would

00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:39.140
have been $1 ,000 at least to have it fixed.

00:18:39.140 --> 00:18:46.259
Mine has the fuel valve is sticking, so he had

00:18:46.259 --> 00:18:48.079
to order a new one. It's a known - For the gas?

00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:50.380
For the gas. See, I don't mess with the gas.

00:18:50.460 --> 00:18:53.859
That's where I was like, yeah, so - I'll do electrical

00:18:53.859 --> 00:18:58.380
components. I don't do gas all that often. Yeah,

00:18:58.380 --> 00:19:01.730
it's the gas line. And it's sticking shut. It

00:19:01.730 --> 00:19:04.309
won't open. So it's stuck shut. So he ordered

00:19:04.309 --> 00:19:07.369
a new one. And it's not in yet. So we're dealing

00:19:07.369 --> 00:19:09.829
with space heaters downstairs right now. And

00:19:09.829 --> 00:19:12.250
the part was covered. It's only going to cost

00:19:12.250 --> 00:19:13.549
me a couple hundred bucks for him to change.

00:19:13.549 --> 00:19:16.390
Oh, nice. Oh, because do you have the home shield?

00:19:16.529 --> 00:19:18.329
No, the unit was new enough where the part was

00:19:18.329 --> 00:19:20.609
covered. He's like, it's not going to take long

00:19:20.609 --> 00:19:23.109
to replace. Beautiful. So it's like 200 bucks.

00:19:23.230 --> 00:19:26.349
I had to pay 50 % already. So I was like, hey,

00:19:26.509 --> 00:19:30.269
that's not bad. Yeah. That's worth it. Especially

00:19:30.269 --> 00:19:32.509
when you start dealing with gas. I'm like, that's

00:19:32.509 --> 00:19:35.730
when you start screwing around with things that

00:19:35.730 --> 00:19:37.089
can kill you in the middle of the night. Yeah,

00:19:37.190 --> 00:19:39.309
carbon monoxide poisoning or something. Yeah,

00:19:39.309 --> 00:19:41.269
now I hear you. All right, so let's get back

00:19:41.269 --> 00:19:44.950
to Fredericksburg. So you... Yeah, my wife and

00:19:44.950 --> 00:19:46.549
I go down there. We went down there, like I said,

00:19:46.609 --> 00:19:49.069
we went down there. We left Monday morning, like

00:19:49.069 --> 00:19:51.769
at 8 .30, 9 o 'clock, so we could get down there.

00:19:51.950 --> 00:19:53.410
It's about a four and a half hour drive. Yeah.

00:19:53.690 --> 00:19:55.250
But you didn't go down there to see anything

00:19:55.250 --> 00:19:57.609
in particular, right? No. Just go down there

00:19:57.609 --> 00:19:59.589
and chill and visit some things and relax? Yeah,

00:19:59.690 --> 00:20:02.210
without going down there, it's known for wineries

00:20:02.210 --> 00:20:05.009
down there. Yes. There's a couple breweries down

00:20:05.009 --> 00:20:07.390
there. And distilleries. Garrison Brothers is

00:20:07.390 --> 00:20:09.750
down there, and there's a couple others. We went

00:20:09.750 --> 00:20:14.549
to 1693, which had some decent juice, and I sent

00:20:14.549 --> 00:20:16.809
a picture of it. You did. Actually, we have it

00:20:16.809 --> 00:20:18.970
out there. Again, lots of pictures of you drinking

00:20:18.970 --> 00:20:22.309
alcohol. Did you catch that, John? It was two.

00:20:22.450 --> 00:20:24.809
I mean, he had one glass of whiskey, and there

00:20:24.809 --> 00:20:26.849
were some odd people dancing in the background.

00:20:26.910 --> 00:20:28.250
I'm not sure. That was all. Oh, yeah. Did you

00:20:28.250 --> 00:20:31.029
see those nice, beautiful women dancing? No.

00:20:31.849 --> 00:20:34.569
Yes. That was fake. How do we know this? Because

00:20:34.569 --> 00:20:37.990
it's you. It's online. It's because you do this

00:20:37.990 --> 00:20:40.829
with grok or gronk or whatever it is. Right.

00:20:41.549 --> 00:20:43.309
So, yeah, we went down there. We like going down

00:20:43.309 --> 00:20:45.720
there. We go down there every. A couple years,

00:20:46.019 --> 00:20:48.319
a year and a half or something like that. And

00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:50.299
we had our first anniversary down there. That's

00:20:50.299 --> 00:20:52.140
when we first went down there. We really enjoyed

00:20:52.140 --> 00:20:54.460
it. Anyway, there's probably 100 wineries down

00:20:54.460 --> 00:20:56.299
there. I don't know if there's that many, but

00:20:56.299 --> 00:20:58.779
that's wine country for Texas. For sure. And

00:20:58.779 --> 00:21:02.420
it's nice. And it wasn't busy at all. So we were

00:21:02.420 --> 00:21:04.200
able to walk into these places and not have a

00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:06.819
problem. So we hit several. We joined a couple

00:21:06.819 --> 00:21:10.799
of wine clubs. They don't cost you anything except

00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:12.920
for the cost of the wine. Nice. And they ship

00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:15.599
it for free. So it's like. We're going to buy

00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:17.799
wine anyway, so might as well just buy some of

00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:21.859
this. Yeah, local wines, right? Yeah, so exactly

00:21:21.859 --> 00:21:23.900
right. And a lot of it's grown up, a lot of the

00:21:23.900 --> 00:21:28.720
grapes are grown up by Lubbock. I didn't know

00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:30.220
that. Yeah, that's where a lot of the grapes

00:21:30.220 --> 00:21:31.900
are grown here in Texas. I would think that's

00:21:31.900 --> 00:21:34.339
dry and dusty out in Lubbock. It's at altitude,

00:21:34.460 --> 00:21:38.799
and the climate is good for grapes apparently.

00:21:38.819 --> 00:21:41.019
I had no idea. Yeah, it's out there by Lubbock.

00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:44.210
Very cool. Yeah. So we went down there. We got

00:21:44.210 --> 00:21:48.230
there Monday. We went to one or two wineries

00:21:48.230 --> 00:21:50.710
when we first got down there. Did you do an Airbnb?

00:21:51.069 --> 00:21:53.349
Yeah, we did an Airbnb. There's hundreds of them

00:21:53.349 --> 00:21:55.450
down there. I know, a lot. We probably got a

00:21:55.450 --> 00:21:58.089
pretty good deal. We did, yeah. A lot of vacancy.

00:21:58.230 --> 00:22:00.170
Yeah, there was a ton. Nobody's doing what you

00:22:00.170 --> 00:22:02.329
did during Thanksgiving, right? Yeah, there was

00:22:02.329 --> 00:22:05.349
some folks down there, but it was not busy at

00:22:05.349 --> 00:22:07.250
all. It gets crazy down there in the spring and

00:22:07.250 --> 00:22:10.450
the summertime. It gets really packed. So go

00:22:10.450 --> 00:22:12.240
in the off -season or during the week. We went

00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:16.799
to that Signore Vineyards. Very nice. Okay. That's

00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:18.440
one of our favorites. We went there. That's nice.

00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:21.880
And the weather was perfect. Oh, it was beautiful.

00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:27.200
It was absolutely perfect. Nice. And, you know,

00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:28.660
that's what we did. You know, we went out. We

00:22:28.660 --> 00:22:32.880
had a nice dinner Monday night, Tuesday night,

00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:36.180
and went to a wine bar. Actually, a wine bar

00:22:36.180 --> 00:22:38.319
that Monday night. So we just had, like, little

00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:41.380
finger foods and shit like that. They have a

00:22:41.380 --> 00:22:45.819
main street that's a bunch of shops, kind of

00:22:45.819 --> 00:22:48.019
like, you know, downtown McKinney, except it's

00:22:48.019 --> 00:22:51.299
one big long strip. Yeah. So they got all the

00:22:51.299 --> 00:22:52.960
knacky things. I mean, you could see it there

00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:55.319
in the picture. Oh, yeah. Right? And what they

00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:57.220
have out there, and I have yet to do this, is

00:22:57.220 --> 00:23:03.259
the World War II Naval Museum. I spent maybe

00:23:03.259 --> 00:23:06.900
an hour there. It's like a two -day thing. And

00:23:06.900 --> 00:23:10.319
I maybe spent one or two hours there. And it's

00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:12.079
not enough time. And it's a really good one.

00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:15.359
It's the Pacific War. Well, that used to be Admiral

00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:17.039
Nimitz's house. That's correct. That's where

00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:19.299
he's from. So it's his house that they've converted

00:23:19.299 --> 00:23:23.460
into a big museum. It's very nice. But you did

00:23:23.460 --> 00:23:25.500
not get a chance to go in there. No, we've never

00:23:25.500 --> 00:23:26.880
stopped. Every time we go down there, we're like,

00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:28.299
we need to do this. We need to do this. Yeah,

00:23:28.299 --> 00:23:30.619
you should. And we have yet to do it. So we need

00:23:30.619 --> 00:23:34.119
to do that because I'm a big... especially the

00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:38.059
Pacific, actually both theaters, but I like watching

00:23:38.059 --> 00:23:40.119
and learning about that kind of stuff. For sure.

00:23:40.579 --> 00:23:43.140
Cool. Well, that was all Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

00:23:43.299 --> 00:23:45.740
so that wasn't even Thanksgiving. Yeah, so Wednesday

00:23:45.740 --> 00:23:48.660
we drove back and she wanted to hit the silos,

00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:52.819
the Magnolia silos at Waco. Oh, I don't know

00:23:52.819 --> 00:23:57.480
what that is. You know the TV show Fixer Upper?

00:23:58.100 --> 00:24:00.259
Ah, yes, yes. That couple, I can't remember their

00:24:00.259 --> 00:24:02.240
name. They're super famous. Yeah, well. Are they

00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:04.140
still doing it? Are they still doing those shows?

00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:06.420
I have no idea. Me neither. I watched a bunch

00:24:06.420 --> 00:24:08.680
of them, but that was a decade ago, right? Yeah.

00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:09.819
So I don't know if they're still doing them or

00:24:09.819 --> 00:24:12.440
not. But anyway, she wanted to stop there, so

00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:14.640
we stopped there on the way back. She picked

00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:17.000
up an ornament or two, and then everything's

00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:18.779
overpriced there. Of course. It's ridiculous.

00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:21.319
Yeah, that's them right there. They've done an

00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:23.039
excellent job, that whole location. They had

00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:25.240
to dump a shit ton of money in that, I bet. And

00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:29.059
it's all just celebrating the show. It's her

00:24:29.059 --> 00:24:34.200
decorations. The Gaines's? Yes. Chip and Joanna

00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:38.460
Gaines. And they're still relevant, huh? I guess.

00:24:38.500 --> 00:24:42.680
It was crowded. And I think it's a destination.

00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:46.220
Sure. Of all places in Waco. Well, it looks pretty

00:24:46.220 --> 00:24:48.339
cool. They've actually done a really, really

00:24:48.339 --> 00:24:51.660
nice job. And it's a big area. So they sunk a

00:24:51.660 --> 00:24:55.519
ton of money in this area. Nice. It looks really

00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:57.400
cool. Built it back up. I mean, look at all that.

00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:01.119
I know. The grounds are really nicely done. Yeah,

00:25:01.140 --> 00:25:05.519
that's fake grass. It's thick or fake? It's fake.

00:25:05.539 --> 00:25:07.859
It's turf. Oh, fake grass. Yeah, it's turf. I

00:25:07.859 --> 00:25:10.299
mean, it's nice turf. Yeah, it looks cool. So

00:25:10.299 --> 00:25:11.980
anyway, we did that. Then we came home Wednesday.

00:25:13.480 --> 00:25:17.440
And then Julie started her cooking. And then

00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:19.599
we cooked all day. Julie ran the turkey trot.

00:25:19.869 --> 00:25:21.890
Thursday. I went with her because they're early

00:25:21.890 --> 00:25:25.670
morning. Yeah. We had drinks after the race.

00:25:25.890 --> 00:25:29.049
Oh, imagine that. Yes. More alcoholic consumption.

00:25:29.089 --> 00:25:32.150
More booze. Wow. Yeah. So we came back and cooked

00:25:32.150 --> 00:25:35.670
and then we had Thanksgiving on Friday. There

00:25:35.670 --> 00:25:37.430
you go. Yeah. We had steak. I grilled steaks

00:25:37.430 --> 00:25:40.130
on Thursday for us. Nice. Yeah. It worked out.

00:25:40.150 --> 00:25:42.369
It was perfect. Yeah. Yeah. We had a, we had

00:25:42.369 --> 00:25:45.579
a low key. Just our family. Dylan actually was

00:25:45.579 --> 00:25:47.799
off with Lauren's family, kind of like what you

00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:51.319
were talking about. Yeah. And Lily and Dawson's

00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:53.660
girlfriend went down to Louisiana. Does Shelly

00:25:53.660 --> 00:25:56.539
get upset with that? No. No. I mean, we just

00:25:56.539 --> 00:25:58.240
kind of knew that was the case. You know what

00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:01.619
we actually did? Dylan came back later that night,

00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:05.059
and we all went to go see Zootopia in the movie

00:26:05.059 --> 00:26:07.559
theater. I haven't been. What is that movie about?

00:26:08.019 --> 00:26:09.960
Zootopia or Zootopia, whatever. That's the new

00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:13.670
Disney cartoon movie. It is. I like the first

00:26:13.670 --> 00:26:17.910
one. It is hilarious. We had a great time. And

00:26:17.910 --> 00:26:20.309
I haven't been to a movie theater probably since

00:26:20.309 --> 00:26:23.390
you guys poisoned me. No, we saw Top Gun in the

00:26:23.390 --> 00:26:25.009
theater. Oh, did you? All of us. Oh, we did?

00:26:25.150 --> 00:26:26.789
Yeah. Oh, that might have been my last movie.

00:26:26.930 --> 00:26:28.970
That was one of the last times I went as well.

00:26:29.170 --> 00:26:32.369
I don't, I rarely ever go anymore. But it's really,

00:26:32.410 --> 00:26:33.789
really good. That's because you were embarrassed

00:26:33.789 --> 00:26:35.690
because you jumped up in the middle of the movie.

00:26:35.730 --> 00:26:38.650
No, I didn't. I stepped in. I really didn't.

00:26:38.650 --> 00:26:42.730
That was not me. Kylie. Anyway, celebrating Pearl

00:26:42.730 --> 00:26:46.190
Harbor. Yeah, no, I don't think it was that.

00:26:46.470 --> 00:26:47.910
What was it anyway? What was that movie? Was

00:26:47.910 --> 00:26:50.430
it Midway? It was Midway. Midway. Yeah, it was

00:26:50.430 --> 00:26:53.069
the remake of Midway. That's right. Anyway, this

00:26:53.069 --> 00:26:56.289
is really well done. Zootopia. I enjoyed it.

00:26:56.329 --> 00:26:59.109
A lot of adult humor in there. Some. Pretty funny.

00:26:59.589 --> 00:27:04.250
And really just, it's like mental stimulus overload.

00:27:05.819 --> 00:27:07.400
All the colors and everything. Oh, the colors

00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:10.579
and the graphics and the nonstop action. I mean,

00:27:10.579 --> 00:27:12.859
it's just crazy. But anyway, that was pretty

00:27:12.859 --> 00:27:14.880
cool. I thought we hadn't really done that before.

00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:20.779
You know, Patrick Warburton, his voice, he was,

00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:23.839
I remember him first from Seinfeld, right? Right.

00:27:23.900 --> 00:27:27.079
Then he was on. He was the tick. He was the tick.

00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:29.099
What's the tick? Well, since when do you need

00:27:29.099 --> 00:27:33.259
a warrant to take a nuclear bomb, anthrax, and

00:27:33.259 --> 00:27:36.079
very strong rope out of the trunk of a villain?

00:27:36.259 --> 00:27:38.299
That was a TV show. It was based off a comic

00:27:38.299 --> 00:27:40.119
strip called The Tick. Oh, I don't know about

00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:42.720
that. The Tick and the Moth. He has some commercials,

00:27:42.740 --> 00:27:46.869
too. But his voice. It's awesome. He is hilarious

00:27:46.869 --> 00:27:51.269
in this movie. He was also Gronk in The Llamas.

00:27:51.390 --> 00:27:54.049
Emperor's New Clothes. Emperor's New Groove.

00:27:54.109 --> 00:27:56.390
New Groove, yeah, the tick there is. Oh, yeah,

00:27:56.430 --> 00:27:59.049
okay. Yeah, I think I've seen that. He's awesome

00:27:59.049 --> 00:28:01.910
in Emperor's New Groove, by the way. Yeah, he's

00:28:01.910 --> 00:28:05.710
such an idiot. He plays, and in this show, he's

00:28:05.710 --> 00:28:08.529
the mayor who's a big horse. Right. And he's

00:28:08.529 --> 00:28:11.230
hilarious. Yeah. Yeah. He's got a good voice.

00:28:11.390 --> 00:28:13.990
He does. Very distinctive. It's really funny.

00:28:14.329 --> 00:28:18.009
Get him on the podcast. I know it. He would be

00:28:18.009 --> 00:28:20.730
awesome. His voice is amazing. Anyway, that was

00:28:20.730 --> 00:28:22.650
Thursday. Yeah, we haven't gone to a movie before.

00:28:22.710 --> 00:28:24.869
And then on Friday, we just, you know, it was

00:28:24.869 --> 00:28:27.910
football. I don't know. We watched the Aggies,

00:28:27.910 --> 00:28:30.490
and that was awful. That was terrible. Terrible.

00:28:30.710 --> 00:28:32.369
Yeah, so everyone stayed, and we watched the

00:28:32.369 --> 00:28:36.430
Aggie game. And lots of yelling, lots of screaming,

00:28:36.430 --> 00:28:38.789
and then it got really quiet. Oh, yeah. It's

00:28:38.789 --> 00:28:42.230
just like, fuck. Yeah. And then folks left early

00:28:42.230 --> 00:28:44.230
because they're like, screw it. We're going home.

00:28:44.390 --> 00:28:48.230
Yeah. Well, it's even worse. So we were at Boomer

00:28:48.230 --> 00:28:50.630
Jack's all day watching football. Right. And

00:28:50.630 --> 00:28:54.089
then we come home for the game and Dylan invites

00:28:54.089 --> 00:28:56.630
his buddy and his buddy's dad, which I've known

00:28:56.630 --> 00:28:58.190
him for a long time. And I'm like, yeah, I'm

00:28:58.190 --> 00:29:00.509
like, sure. Come on over. Well, they're A &M

00:29:00.509 --> 00:29:05.549
haters. Poor Chuck. I stepped into a firing range.

00:29:05.730 --> 00:29:08.369
He really did. And I even apologized while you

00:29:08.369 --> 00:29:09.710
were walking out. I was like, I'm sorry for the

00:29:09.710 --> 00:29:11.369
hostile environment. We were already pissed off

00:29:11.369 --> 00:29:13.769
about the game, but we didn't need Dylan and

00:29:13.769 --> 00:29:15.990
his buddy and his buddy's dad laughing. Like

00:29:15.990 --> 00:29:19.309
the heckling crew behind us just laughing the

00:29:19.309 --> 00:29:21.130
entire game. Yeah, and Shelly was getting pissed

00:29:21.130 --> 00:29:22.490
off. She goes, you guys are being disrespectful

00:29:22.490 --> 00:29:25.670
and blah, blah. And I was like, okay, this is

00:29:25.670 --> 00:29:27.809
ruining the whole thing. Yeah, it became a really

00:29:27.809 --> 00:29:31.630
tense, non -fun kind of experience, right? Right.

00:29:31.980 --> 00:29:35.440
So, yeah. And I was like, you went to Arkansas.

00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:39.039
Right. Where do you get off? Where's your hate

00:29:39.039 --> 00:29:44.319
come from? Oh, I hate all the ACC. Anyway, I

00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:46.240
got pissed off at him. So we're not talking.

00:29:46.359 --> 00:29:48.460
Say it's not so. I'm kidding. We're not talking

00:29:48.460 --> 00:29:51.500
now. Yeah. Anyway, so that was a disaster. Yeah,

00:29:51.500 --> 00:29:53.839
that was a tough game to watch. We actually didn't

00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:55.799
even watch the last few minutes. Everyone got

00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:58.480
up and was like, they left. So I was like, I

00:29:58.480 --> 00:30:00.160
turned it off and went to bed. Really? Yeah.

00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:03.079
Regarding NFL, I mean, the Cincinnati Bengals

00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:05.839
won. Oh, how about that? Yeah, I didn't watch

00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:09.480
that game. It was a good game. Joe Burrow was

00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:12.660
back. He's back. Back in form, huh? Their defense

00:30:12.660 --> 00:30:16.859
actually performed. It was good. Is it too late?

00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:20.380
No, they are now qualified in the hunt. They're

00:30:20.380 --> 00:30:22.940
in the hunt. Yes. All right. They dipped their

00:30:22.940 --> 00:30:25.099
little toes into the in the hunt column. Yeah,

00:30:25.180 --> 00:30:27.980
the Titans were 1 -10 before this last game.

00:30:28.399 --> 00:30:31.000
and they were not mathematically eliminated,

00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:33.480
which I thought was hilarious. How can you be

00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:35.720
1 -10 and not mathematically eliminated? That

00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:37.779
means the rest of your division is sucked. Then

00:30:37.779 --> 00:30:40.240
they became 1 -11, and then they got the little

00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:42.640
Z next to them where they were eliminated from

00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:46.480
the playoffs. And I was making jokes with Dawson.

00:30:46.500 --> 00:30:48.200
I was like, hey, we're still in the hunt. We're

00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:50.319
not mathematically eliminated. Well, in fantasy

00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:55.039
football, you, Jeff. You and Paul are first and

00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:56.740
second seed. First and second. Yeah, I've struggled

00:30:56.740 --> 00:31:00.460
the last three weeks. Paul beat me. I'm on a

00:31:00.460 --> 00:31:03.400
roll right now. Yeah, Paul's on a roll. I won

00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:08.259
last week with 69 points. And I lost this week

00:31:08.259 --> 00:31:12.880
to Barry, I think. And I had like 77 points.

00:31:13.019 --> 00:31:15.619
I was doing good, and then everything just stopped.

00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:20.910
You never know. It's all luck. It is. Me, I play

00:31:20.910 --> 00:31:23.049
Paul this week. So for those listeners out there,

00:31:23.309 --> 00:31:29.230
we got a 12 -man fantasy league, 12 -team fantasy

00:31:29.230 --> 00:31:31.509
league. Jeff and Paul are in first and second

00:31:31.509 --> 00:31:34.329
place. I was in last place for a long portion

00:31:34.329 --> 00:31:36.230
of the season. You're like eighth place now,

00:31:36.230 --> 00:31:38.690
aren't you? No, I'm at tenth place. Ooh, you

00:31:38.690 --> 00:31:41.369
need to win bad then. I'm playing you. You're

00:31:41.369 --> 00:31:43.759
not going to win. Hey, man, I've been scoring

00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:46.740
pretty high points the last two, three weeks.

00:31:47.180 --> 00:31:51.900
I hit a good string of lots of high points. I

00:31:51.900 --> 00:31:54.940
have to win. I'm low. I have to win, and then

00:31:54.940 --> 00:31:57.380
I have to have the guys below me lose, and then

00:31:57.380 --> 00:32:01.180
I can be bumped into the eighth seat, in which

00:32:01.180 --> 00:32:03.240
I'll make the playoffs. And this is it. This

00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:05.160
is the last push for the season. Is this the

00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:07.359
last week? No, it's not the last week. It is.

00:32:07.819 --> 00:32:09.799
You sure? 100 % sure? Well, I mean, I'm pretty

00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:12.640
sure. I think there's two weeks left. But I may

00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:15.839
not be. I'm not certain. Because this matters

00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:19.619
because it means the point total. Do they take

00:32:19.619 --> 00:32:21.680
the point total at the end of the regular season

00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:24.140
or through the playoffs? I think it is. I don't

00:32:24.140 --> 00:32:27.160
know. I've managed to crawl into the third place

00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:29.740
for points. I'm on a tear right now. You passed

00:32:29.740 --> 00:32:32.359
me. Because like I said, my last three games,

00:32:32.420 --> 00:32:36.109
my point total has been. Yeah, dismal. It's so

00:32:36.109 --> 00:32:40.109
frustrating. And I was at 130, 140 for weeks.

00:32:40.109 --> 00:32:42.250
I thought there was no way to catch you. What

00:32:42.250 --> 00:32:47.230
the hell? Yeah, it's crazy. So what is the schedule?

00:32:47.309 --> 00:32:49.289
League announcements, commissioners, playoffs.

00:32:49.730 --> 00:32:52.849
There you go. Playoffs. We're week 14 and they

00:32:52.849 --> 00:32:57.730
go to 18. Go to week 14. The quarterfinals start

00:32:57.730 --> 00:33:00.269
next week. There you go. So this is the last

00:33:00.269 --> 00:33:03.269
week. This is the last week. Quarterfinal start.

00:33:03.329 --> 00:33:04.910
So there's three weeks of playoffs. That means

00:33:04.910 --> 00:33:06.430
there's no way I'll catch. There's two people

00:33:06.430 --> 00:33:09.950
ahead of me, Scott and Barry on points, and I'm

00:33:09.950 --> 00:33:13.150
down. I trail them by 40 and 50 points. Well,

00:33:13.230 --> 00:33:15.470
unless they struggle. I won't catch them, but

00:33:15.470 --> 00:33:17.509
hopefully I'll cement myself in third place,

00:33:17.630 --> 00:33:19.910
which would be good for points. Anyway, it's

00:33:19.910 --> 00:33:22.950
been crazy. We'll see what happens. Yeah. Well,

00:33:23.130 --> 00:33:27.490
you know, I'm in ninth place. But you can make

00:33:27.490 --> 00:33:30.619
it in with a win? If I win. Who's above you?

00:33:31.140 --> 00:33:33.720
Ligers, and I just beat them last week. What's

00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:35.359
their record? Five and eight, so they're tied

00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:38.579
with me. They have no points. How far ahead are

00:33:38.579 --> 00:33:39.660
they in points? They do, they do. Oh, they're

00:33:39.660 --> 00:33:42.859
120. Ligers is like one of the highest in the

00:33:42.859 --> 00:33:45.920
league. They are. He's 1320. Hawks is first.

00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:51.200
Hawks is 1331. Ligers is 1320. I'm 1201, surprisingly.

00:33:51.619 --> 00:33:54.640
Yeah, you crept back up. Can you imagine being

00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:58.200
second in the league in points? Five and eight.

00:33:58.319 --> 00:33:59.700
I've had those seasons. And possibly bounced

00:33:59.700 --> 00:34:02.519
out of the playoffs. I've had those where I've

00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:05.099
been almost last, but my points are high. Because

00:34:05.099 --> 00:34:06.380
remember when I was bitching one year? I was

00:34:06.380 --> 00:34:08.880
like, everyone careers against me. Yes. I was

00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:11.059
getting 120, 130, but someone was getting 145.

00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:14.559
I was like, fuck. Really? It's insane. Well,

00:34:14.579 --> 00:34:20.710
look, if... Oh, funny. If Ligers lose... Who

00:34:20.710 --> 00:34:22.610
are they playing? I don't know. I didn't even

00:34:22.610 --> 00:34:23.969
check. I don't even know who I'm playing. The

00:34:23.969 --> 00:34:25.530
bottom line is I have to beat you, Paul. You

00:34:25.530 --> 00:34:27.889
do. So that's it. That's the bottom line. I got

00:34:27.889 --> 00:34:29.710
to beat you. See, and it means nothing for me.

00:34:29.750 --> 00:34:31.570
I got to make sure my guys are motivated because

00:34:31.570 --> 00:34:35.190
this game means nothing for us. We have actually

00:34:35.190 --> 00:34:37.409
zero to do with this. Once you pick them. What

00:34:37.409 --> 00:34:39.369
do you mean? We don't have much. Do you not have

00:34:39.369 --> 00:34:42.630
weekly calls with your players? Yeah. I got them

00:34:42.630 --> 00:34:45.409
on. I got like a group chat. Yeah. I play the

00:34:45.409 --> 00:34:47.909
Beavers. Teams meaning? You play with who's Beaver?

00:34:48.170 --> 00:34:53.650
Nice Beaver. Zabivas. Oh, Jerry. So Bengals are

00:34:53.650 --> 00:34:59.090
now 10th or 12th best in the league, huh? What

00:34:59.090 --> 00:35:01.929
is that, 2 %? Is that the probable chance of

00:35:01.929 --> 00:35:03.769
a playoff is 2 %? You're saying there's a chance?

00:35:03.889 --> 00:35:06.449
Really? And you were really excited there, Jeff.

00:35:06.630 --> 00:35:10.489
Well, it's better than zero. Mine's zero. Dolphins

00:35:10.489 --> 00:35:12.610
are. So what about the Chiefs? They may not make

00:35:12.610 --> 00:35:14.670
the playoffs. I'm okay with that. Isn't that

00:35:14.670 --> 00:35:18.230
wonderful? Dude, the Cowboys, I got to tell you,

00:35:18.269 --> 00:35:21.789
man, they've been so disappointing. But they

00:35:21.789 --> 00:35:24.909
beat the Eagles and the Chiefs, the two Super

00:35:24.909 --> 00:35:27.590
Bowl contenders. They may beat the Lions. They

00:35:27.590 --> 00:35:29.869
have a 17 % chance of making the playoffs. Is

00:35:29.869 --> 00:35:31.730
that what I mean? They may beat the Lions because

00:35:31.730 --> 00:35:37.650
Amon Ross, St. Brown may not play. And they're

00:35:37.650 --> 00:35:42.019
big -ass. cornerback or safety just got disqualified

00:35:42.019 --> 00:35:44.940
or he's on IR or something. Just looking at that

00:35:44.940 --> 00:35:47.519
screen right there, the Texans, the Lions, the

00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:50.179
Chiefs, the Steelers, and the Cowboys all have

00:35:50.179 --> 00:35:52.780
– well, actually, the Texans look good simply

00:35:52.780 --> 00:35:54.320
because of the damn division is really weak.

00:35:54.420 --> 00:35:57.079
But the Lions only 43 % chance of making the

00:35:57.079 --> 00:36:00.059
playoffs? That's crazy. Weren't they like – they

00:36:00.059 --> 00:36:02.739
were massive last year. Well, the Bears and the

00:36:02.739 --> 00:36:04.420
Packers are also good, so they'd have to qualify

00:36:04.420 --> 00:36:08.239
for a wild card. Who's number one? The Bears.

00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:12.300
Yeah, but they still have a lot more. You still

00:36:12.300 --> 00:36:15.699
have a lot more game to play. Yeah, true. Oh,

00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:19.679
that's AFC and NFC. Okay. Yeah, it's great. There

00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:22.820
are some teams that we haven't seen at the top.

00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:25.280
The Broncos, really? I like this. I love it,

00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:27.519
though. It's cool. Broncos are locked in. Look

00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:33.059
at the Jaguars. Yeah. Screw. Fuck them. And the

00:36:33.059 --> 00:36:36.150
Ravens after starting so bad. are in the fourth

00:36:36.150 --> 00:36:38.250
spot right now. That's amazing. Only because

00:36:38.250 --> 00:36:40.730
they have the Bengals and the Browns. Well, that

00:36:40.730 --> 00:36:44.550
AFC Central division is log jammed. That's the

00:36:44.550 --> 00:36:47.389
only reason why the Bengals have a chance because

00:36:47.389 --> 00:36:51.610
I think the Ravens are 6 -6 and the Steelers

00:36:51.610 --> 00:36:55.949
are what? 6 -6. The Bengals are 4 -8. Yeah, that's

00:36:55.949 --> 00:36:57.750
how you get in, right? You win the division.

00:36:57.969 --> 00:37:00.889
And they have to play the Steelers and the Ravens

00:37:00.889 --> 00:37:04.780
again. And you're on a roll, and you got Burrow.

00:37:04.860 --> 00:37:07.360
Yeah, we got Burrow back. Can you imagine just

00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:09.260
squeaking into the playoffs, and you guys make

00:37:09.260 --> 00:37:11.440
this crazy deep run, and you make it all the

00:37:11.440 --> 00:37:13.539
way to the Super Bowl? It's happened. It's happened,

00:37:13.559 --> 00:37:15.400
yeah, and Burrow's healthy, so that makes all

00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:17.260
the difference. And that can happen with my fantasy

00:37:17.260 --> 00:37:19.639
football team. It could. That absolutely cannot

00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:23.260
happen. Actually, it's more feasible for a fantasy

00:37:23.260 --> 00:37:26.239
football team to do that than other. I mean,

00:37:26.260 --> 00:37:28.969
you have to beat me. I mean, look. Dude, I'm

00:37:28.969 --> 00:37:31.369
numero uno. I'm the head honcho in the league.

00:37:31.469 --> 00:37:33.489
It happens. He didn't want to hear it when I

00:37:33.489 --> 00:37:35.070
was number one for, what, 10 straight weeks?

00:37:35.190 --> 00:37:39.510
Yeah, you were obnoxious. I'm being less obnoxious

00:37:39.510 --> 00:37:40.969
right now. Who wants to talk about fantasy? It

00:37:40.969 --> 00:37:44.789
wasn't even spoken about for 10 weeks. Not in

00:37:44.789 --> 00:37:47.929
my presence. That absolutely did not happen.

00:37:47.929 --> 00:37:49.349
Every time it came up, it was like, let's change

00:37:49.349 --> 00:37:51.010
the subject. Yeah, I don't want to talk about

00:37:51.010 --> 00:37:54.869
it. Lying, lying, lying, lying. Anyway, I'm excited.

00:37:54.949 --> 00:37:56.389
Football is kind of fun to watch right now. I

00:37:56.389 --> 00:37:58.630
know the Titans drive me crazy. You should get

00:37:58.630 --> 00:38:02.449
a good draft pick again. Well, really? I mean,

00:38:02.469 --> 00:38:05.510
how many draft picks do you need to turn a team

00:38:05.510 --> 00:38:08.809
around? Who was your coach? Right now, it's the

00:38:08.809 --> 00:38:12.369
interim coach. Who got canned? Brian Callahan

00:38:12.369 --> 00:38:15.710
got canned. He lasted, what, two years? Not even

00:38:15.710 --> 00:38:20.110
a year in it. When did Vrabel go? When did he

00:38:20.110 --> 00:38:25.699
go? That was last year, yeah. Last year. He's

00:38:25.699 --> 00:38:28.860
Pats, isn't he? Yeah, and look at them. This

00:38:28.860 --> 00:38:30.920
is his first year with the Pats? Yes. Isn't that

00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:35.480
nauseating? Yeah, it just makes me vomit. So

00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:38.760
you know who took over the LSU head coach? Yeah,

00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:42.820
the Ole Miss. Lane Kiffin. Lane Kiffin, is that

00:38:42.820 --> 00:38:45.699
his name? Yes. So look, and I don't know that

00:38:45.699 --> 00:38:48.260
much about college football, but for some reason

00:38:48.260 --> 00:38:51.579
I know about him. There's been all sorts of drama

00:38:51.579 --> 00:38:54.719
about this. Who knows if he's going to do good

00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:56.639
or not? He's got the experience, but he also

00:38:56.639 --> 00:39:04.260
has baggage. I think a lot of it comes from loyalty

00:39:04.260 --> 00:39:07.340
and just bouncing around. What is the drama?

00:39:07.340 --> 00:39:09.920
There's no loyalty with Ole Miss because he's

00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:15.820
abandoning them. First of all, this is like his

00:39:15.820 --> 00:39:18.500
eighth or ninth coaching job. Correct. And they're

00:39:18.500 --> 00:39:21.150
all failures. You know, all of them. I mean,

00:39:21.190 --> 00:39:23.489
they're pretty much, you know, he got booted

00:39:23.489 --> 00:39:26.409
from most of them. How can that be if LSU is

00:39:26.409 --> 00:39:29.110
wanting him? That's a big program. He did Tennessee

00:39:29.110 --> 00:39:32.809
for one year, and he left for USC, I think, which

00:39:32.809 --> 00:39:35.210
was a bigger fish in the pond, and then he left

00:39:35.210 --> 00:39:37.829
there. My point is that he's had a bad track

00:39:37.829 --> 00:39:40.389
record. He may have had some trickles of good

00:39:40.389 --> 00:39:42.769
luck, but most of them are bad luck. You know,

00:39:42.809 --> 00:39:49.219
in fact, he for L .A. UCLA, they fired him on

00:39:49.219 --> 00:39:51.800
the fucking tarmac. They fired him on the field

00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:53.260
after the game. They were like, dude, you're

00:39:53.260 --> 00:39:55.539
fucking fired. And, I mean, that was embarrassing.

00:39:55.739 --> 00:39:58.239
Wow. You know, so my point for bringing this

00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:01.280
up is imagine being divorced eight times. Right.

00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:03.480
And then you're going to get into a marriage

00:40:03.480 --> 00:40:05.179
the ninth time. And you're kind of like, is this

00:40:05.179 --> 00:40:07.760
going to be successful? And furthermore, it's

00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:09.440
kind of like. They keep hiring him, so they must

00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:11.500
see something. Yeah. Well, I mean, good luck

00:40:11.500 --> 00:40:14.159
to them. You know, I'm a little salty over the

00:40:14.159 --> 00:40:17.260
whole. football, the college football stuff,

00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:20.039
just for how much money these guys make. It's

00:40:20.039 --> 00:40:22.420
absurd. Yeah, the NIL thing. It's absolutely

00:40:22.420 --> 00:40:25.139
absurd. And now this guy, Lane Kiffin, I think

00:40:25.139 --> 00:40:26.840
he's got... He's getting $12 million a year.

00:40:27.099 --> 00:40:30.719
Yeah. That's tremendous, but for what? A decade?

00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:34.960
Something like that? Yeah. Seven years. What

00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:38.219
I don't like and what needs to change is the

00:40:38.219 --> 00:40:41.219
timing of all of this. I think because he went

00:40:41.219 --> 00:40:43.739
back to Ole Miss and said... I would like to

00:40:43.739 --> 00:40:46.940
coach Ole Miss in the playoffs. Yeah, they said

00:40:46.940 --> 00:40:49.159
no. And they were like, no, because on the downtime,

00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:52.420
you're going to be recruiting for LSU. Oh. So

00:40:52.420 --> 00:40:54.300
they're like, no, we're cutting ties. So I think

00:40:54.300 --> 00:40:56.780
what needs to happen is, and it's up to the NCAA,

00:40:56.880 --> 00:40:59.780
they need to move the portal timeline. They need

00:40:59.780 --> 00:41:04.500
to move the National Signing Day timeline and

00:41:04.500 --> 00:41:08.050
when coaches can talk to other teams. Just like

00:41:08.050 --> 00:41:09.409
the NFL. Until after the season. Until after

00:41:09.409 --> 00:41:11.429
the season. Just like the NFL. Yeah, don't cause

00:41:11.429 --> 00:41:13.809
any distractions with all that. Yeah, that screws

00:41:13.809 --> 00:41:16.889
over the players more than anybody. Yeah, because

00:41:16.889 --> 00:41:19.849
it changes their decision if they're going to

00:41:19.849 --> 00:41:22.449
be playing for a new coach. It changes their

00:41:22.449 --> 00:41:23.989
decision on whether or not they're going to transfer

00:41:23.989 --> 00:41:25.389
or whether they're going to – I mean, everything

00:41:25.389 --> 00:41:28.190
is all – Oh, yeah. So this quarterback at Ole

00:41:28.190 --> 00:41:29.869
Miss is probably thinking, I'm going to go to

00:41:29.869 --> 00:41:33.170
LSU now and play because I got recruited here

00:41:33.170 --> 00:41:34.750
by Lane and I like him and I'm going to go to

00:41:34.750 --> 00:41:37.550
LSU and do this. So he's like – Do I need to

00:41:37.550 --> 00:41:40.289
play in the playoffs now? Right. Or should I

00:41:40.289 --> 00:41:42.550
just transfer now? They're talking about not

00:41:42.550 --> 00:41:46.750
bringing Ole Miss, maybe despite their good record,

00:41:46.769 --> 00:41:49.849
into the playoffs because of that reason. Because

00:41:49.849 --> 00:41:52.250
they don't have a coaching staff and their kids

00:41:52.250 --> 00:41:54.849
might sit. Yeah. And they don't have the same

00:41:54.849 --> 00:41:57.829
team anymore. Yeah. But they're going to make

00:41:57.829 --> 00:42:00.510
the playoffs. Yeah, but they don't have to make.

00:42:00.570 --> 00:42:03.619
It's a selection. I know, but. They didn't qualify.

00:42:04.039 --> 00:42:05.780
They were a good team. They're not an automatic

00:42:05.780 --> 00:42:09.000
qualifier, so it's subjective to the government.

00:42:09.000 --> 00:42:11.260
Yeah, but they were 11 -1. I get it. Well, so

00:42:11.260 --> 00:42:13.000
was Florida State a couple years ago. And then

00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:14.679
their quarterback got hurt. And they kicked them

00:42:14.679 --> 00:42:16.380
out. Yeah, and they didn't bring Florida State

00:42:16.380 --> 00:42:17.880
in. Because they're like, well, you're not the

00:42:17.880 --> 00:42:20.159
same team anymore. That's so unfair to the fans.

00:42:20.559 --> 00:42:22.639
I mean, are you telling me they're good enough

00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:24.280
to make the playoffs? But, oh, okay, we're going

00:42:24.280 --> 00:42:26.539
to boot them because of this bullshit. The coaches

00:42:26.539 --> 00:42:29.739
and the players. They can. That's awful. That

00:42:29.739 --> 00:42:32.119
is awful. So I think they need to move the entire

00:42:32.119 --> 00:42:35.219
timeline. It's up to the NCAA. They've got to

00:42:35.219 --> 00:42:36.960
make changes for sure. They shit the bed so bad

00:42:36.960 --> 00:42:39.719
on this thing that they need to do it. That's

00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:42.780
such a strange phrase. They shit the bed so bad.

00:42:43.199 --> 00:42:45.519
They did. Seriously. They can't get out of their

00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:50.039
own way. Did they ever admit that men can't be

00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:53.329
women? How long did they? Fight that. Right.

00:42:53.530 --> 00:42:55.309
You know, they could get out of their own way

00:42:55.309 --> 00:42:57.110
on that one. They're not going to be able to

00:42:57.110 --> 00:42:59.349
solve this anytime soon, but they need to move

00:42:59.349 --> 00:43:02.829
all those timelines to end of January or February

00:43:02.829 --> 00:43:05.610
or whatever makes sense. Yep. You're not going

00:43:05.610 --> 00:43:07.730
to lose any time. Yeah. Well, they're still going

00:43:07.730 --> 00:43:09.369
to play footsie with them, though, you know,

00:43:09.369 --> 00:43:11.889
go behind their back. Well, you need to ride

00:43:11.889 --> 00:43:15.469
it in just like the NFL. You have to ask permission,

00:43:15.510 --> 00:43:18.210
and there's fines involved if it gets found out

00:43:18.210 --> 00:43:20.530
that you talked to my coach. They need to work

00:43:20.530 --> 00:43:23.309
in all those rules that says, if you reach out

00:43:23.309 --> 00:43:24.769
to my coach before the end of the year, you're

00:43:24.769 --> 00:43:26.969
going to be fined whatever it is. That's what

00:43:26.969 --> 00:43:29.230
happens in the NFL. You can't talk to my coach

00:43:29.230 --> 00:43:31.989
without my permission. You have to ask for permission

00:43:31.989 --> 00:43:34.030
before the end of the year. And if you do it

00:43:34.030 --> 00:43:36.809
behind my back, we find out, then there's a huge

00:43:36.809 --> 00:43:38.630
fine. Well, and then there's weirdness with the

00:43:38.630 --> 00:43:40.989
whole Aggie thing, right? So now A &M is not.

00:43:41.260 --> 00:43:43.260
They can't even compete for the SEC championship,

00:43:43.440 --> 00:43:46.159
but they're technically already in the national

00:43:46.159 --> 00:43:50.699
championship playoffs, which actually, if you

00:43:50.699 --> 00:43:52.500
think about it, benefits them. They have one

00:43:52.500 --> 00:43:54.519
less game to play. They have a bye this week

00:43:54.519 --> 00:43:56.579
instead of having to play for the SEC championship.

00:43:57.019 --> 00:44:00.440
So less players get hurt, whatever, and they

00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:03.500
get to rest. So my question is, Texas A &M is

00:44:03.500 --> 00:44:07.519
11 -1. Yes. Alabama is 10 -2. Why are they in

00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:12.909
the SEC championship game? Oh. They both have

00:44:12.909 --> 00:44:15.849
one SEC loss, right? One SEC loss. That's right.

00:44:16.050 --> 00:44:19.030
And then there's a tiebreaker. What's the tiebreaker?

00:44:19.349 --> 00:44:22.010
It's like common opponents. Shouldn't it be like

00:44:22.010 --> 00:44:24.690
overall record? So they have multiple levels,

00:44:24.809 --> 00:44:28.320
right? It is conference record, right? And then

00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:30.500
it's head -to -head, and they did not play each

00:44:30.500 --> 00:44:32.780
other this year. And it came all the way down.

00:44:32.820 --> 00:44:34.619
I don't know how many levels of tiebreakers it

00:44:34.619 --> 00:44:36.980
came down to, but it came down to strength of

00:44:36.980 --> 00:44:39.980
schedule. That's all subjective. Well, A &M had

00:44:39.980 --> 00:44:43.960
a really weak schedule compared to Ole Miss and

00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:46.880
Alabama. And so both of them had the tiebreaker

00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:49.219
over A &M to go to the SEC Championship. I think

00:44:49.219 --> 00:44:52.000
it's still bullshit. I know. My overall record

00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:53.699
is better than yours. Right. Well, they don't

00:44:53.699 --> 00:44:55.300
go by that. Why not? That should be like the

00:44:55.300 --> 00:44:58.769
second tiebreaker. SEC record, overall record.

00:44:59.809 --> 00:45:02.949
Why isn't that like that? I don't know. It isn't.

00:45:02.969 --> 00:45:04.929
It should be. But isn't that crazy? A &M gets

00:45:04.929 --> 00:45:07.239
a bye. That's not a bad thing. Jeff, you're so

00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:09.539
passionate. It doesn't make sense. It doesn't

00:45:09.539 --> 00:45:10.880
make sense. I mean, obviously, I couldn't give

00:45:10.880 --> 00:45:12.840
a shit about the SEC championship when it comes

00:45:12.840 --> 00:45:14.280
to – I know, Chuck, you were saying, it does

00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:16.579
matter. It didn't matter to me. I want them to

00:45:16.579 --> 00:45:18.260
win the national championship. As long as they

00:45:18.260 --> 00:45:20.119
get into the playoffs and they play well and

00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:21.840
they make it all the way, I couldn't give a shit

00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:23.440
about the SEC championship. Well, that's what

00:45:23.440 --> 00:45:24.900
happened to Ohio State last year. They didn't

00:45:24.900 --> 00:45:26.940
make it to the – actually, they did make it to

00:45:26.940 --> 00:45:28.940
the – To their own conference final? They lost

00:45:28.940 --> 00:45:31.199
it. And then they – And they made it to the playoffs.

00:45:31.619 --> 00:45:33.599
Anyway. Anyway, and they won the national championship.

00:45:33.639 --> 00:45:37.400
See, I mean – Okay, it makes silly. That's all

00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:39.340
silly to me. Anyway, all right, we can get off

00:45:39.340 --> 00:45:41.139
of this. Well, I think they lost to Michigan.

00:45:42.039 --> 00:45:44.300
I can't remember. But something happened where

00:45:44.300 --> 00:45:47.440
maybe they weren't in the conference final, and

00:45:47.440 --> 00:45:49.519
they ended up winning it. Yeah. You know what

00:45:49.519 --> 00:45:51.880
we have not talked about is the Frisco Bar experience.

00:45:52.619 --> 00:45:56.019
Remember the event we went to? Remember John's

00:45:56.019 --> 00:45:59.340
band? Oh, yes. At the Frisco Bar? Yeah, so John

00:45:59.340 --> 00:46:01.539
Rodriguez, what's the name of the band? Fine

00:46:01.539 --> 00:46:05.039
Line? Fine line? Sounds right. Fine line. So

00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:07.719
we were at the Frisco Bar in, is it Plano, Texas,

00:46:07.780 --> 00:46:09.519
technically? No, it's Frisco. Oh, Frisco Bar.

00:46:09.599 --> 00:46:11.500
Duh. Frisco, Texas. So we're at the Frisco Bar.

00:46:11.559 --> 00:46:15.820
Shout out to Tony from the Frisco Bar. We went

00:46:15.820 --> 00:46:18.300
out there to see John and the Fine Lines. That

00:46:18.300 --> 00:46:20.659
was the debut of their band. They'd been practicing

00:46:20.659 --> 00:46:22.260
for months and months and months, and they said,

00:46:22.340 --> 00:46:25.179
this is it. We're doing it. And they were good.

00:46:25.400 --> 00:46:27.900
Basically, yeah, they're female lead vocals.

00:46:28.099 --> 00:46:31.500
Yeah, they were good. And you had the keytar.

00:46:31.639 --> 00:46:36.320
Is that right? Yes. Keytar. guitars and a bass

00:46:36.320 --> 00:46:39.280
and john was playing the drums yeah and it sounded

00:46:39.280 --> 00:46:41.960
great uh for being the first time they had you

00:46:41.960 --> 00:46:43.599
know there were some little things that they

00:46:43.599 --> 00:46:46.219
could kind of iron out but sure all in all man

00:46:46.219 --> 00:46:49.539
i would give them i i give them an a yeah they're

00:46:49.539 --> 00:46:51.159
playing a lot of songs we knew but they were

00:46:51.159 --> 00:46:54.679
not the typical the typical hits i know yeah

00:46:54.679 --> 00:46:58.360
so but tuesday voices carry and he and he put

00:46:58.360 --> 00:47:01.360
a lot of he was really big on song selection

00:47:02.609 --> 00:47:04.610
to differentiate their band, and I thought they

00:47:04.610 --> 00:47:06.730
did a great job of it. Yeah, they really did.

00:47:06.909 --> 00:47:09.670
They played Heart. Those female singers are great.

00:47:09.789 --> 00:47:11.090
Oh, they were. Yeah, they were good. It was a

00:47:11.090 --> 00:47:14.710
nice combo. I'd like to get in there and work

00:47:14.710 --> 00:47:16.489
on the EQ a little bit, kind of tighten them

00:47:16.489 --> 00:47:19.170
up. I really wanted to jump on the soundboard.

00:47:19.329 --> 00:47:21.360
Why don't you go talk to them? Can I? Take a

00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:23.900
punch at it. You're like, step aside, newbie.

00:47:24.039 --> 00:47:27.019
I got this. Who's this bald dude? Get the fuck

00:47:27.019 --> 00:47:29.500
out of here. You're holding your bourbon, just

00:47:29.500 --> 00:47:32.480
swirling it. Yeah. Hey, shout out to Tony, too,

00:47:32.539 --> 00:47:35.619
man. We posted something on Instagram. This is

00:47:35.619 --> 00:47:39.340
so cool. It was kind of cool, man. We pointed

00:47:39.340 --> 00:47:42.670
something out. You did a little video. Video,

00:47:42.750 --> 00:47:44.789
and it was looking at our Dudes Like Us sticker,

00:47:44.929 --> 00:47:47.789
and then the Frisco bar menu, and then we went

00:47:47.789 --> 00:47:50.050
up and gave us a little surround sound, and then

00:47:50.050 --> 00:47:52.449
went up to the thing, and then boom, we posted

00:47:52.449 --> 00:47:54.650
it, and a couple minutes later, somebody, hey,

00:47:54.690 --> 00:47:56.610
this is for the Dudes Like Us podcast, guys.

00:47:56.769 --> 00:47:58.510
And I was like, are you fucking kidding me? They

00:47:58.510 --> 00:48:01.829
brought over free drinks. Yes. And it was literally

00:48:01.829 --> 00:48:06.070
minutes after you posted that. The power of social

00:48:06.070 --> 00:48:10.059
media became... starkingly real for me in that

00:48:10.059 --> 00:48:13.920
moment. That's right. I was shocked. Paul wasn't

00:48:13.920 --> 00:48:16.760
drinking, supposedly, but I have video proof

00:48:16.760 --> 00:48:19.619
of him drinking. I tried to find that, by the

00:48:19.619 --> 00:48:21.739
way. I tried to find that and show Shelly. I

00:48:21.739 --> 00:48:23.519
sent it to you. Oh, the one with me drinking?

00:48:23.539 --> 00:48:25.579
Oh, yeah, I did show her. And I was like, look

00:48:25.579 --> 00:48:28.539
at this. This is Jeff Buckingham with me making

00:48:28.539 --> 00:48:30.280
an AI like I was drinking. I did the opposite.

00:48:30.539 --> 00:48:32.940
I looked at Tara. I was like, look, Tara, Paul's

00:48:32.940 --> 00:48:37.599
sneaking a drink. Right? Oh, it's amazing what

00:48:37.599 --> 00:48:39.920
AI can do. That's amazing. Because it looked

00:48:39.920 --> 00:48:42.139
just like you were like totally drinking. I know

00:48:42.139 --> 00:48:45.019
it did. It looked real as hell. Anyway, it's

00:48:45.019 --> 00:48:47.019
only going to get better and more creepy. We're

00:48:47.019 --> 00:48:49.159
not going to know what is real anymore. I mean,

00:48:49.159 --> 00:48:51.739
this is the common denominator for every conversation

00:48:51.739 --> 00:48:54.039
we have in these podcasts. I question everything

00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:56.880
now. I know. It's just going to get more. So

00:48:56.880 --> 00:49:01.460
John was saying that the bar owner was thrilled

00:49:01.460 --> 00:49:06.099
because he said on a Friday night before. holiday

00:49:06.099 --> 00:49:09.440
week, they're dead. And he said, for the people

00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:12.639
that did come in, they stayed and then more people

00:49:12.639 --> 00:49:15.679
came in and stayed and they don't normally have

00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:17.559
a crowd like that. And he totally attributed

00:49:17.559 --> 00:49:19.880
it to John's band. Well, they were great. We

00:49:19.880 --> 00:49:21.579
enjoyed it. They were great. The people that

00:49:21.579 --> 00:49:25.320
were there, I mean, the... couple that was frolicking

00:49:25.320 --> 00:49:28.280
all over each other and she was like i mean they

00:49:28.280 --> 00:49:31.239
were super pretty people you know and you would

00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:33.079
think that these guys were in love and it turns

00:49:33.079 --> 00:49:35.380
out she didn't even know the guy yeah you were

00:49:35.380 --> 00:49:37.739
like you heard her say so where do you live again

00:49:38.170 --> 00:49:40.289
Yeah, exactly. On the way out. Yeah, and I'm

00:49:40.289 --> 00:49:42.469
like, oh my God, she didn't even know him. And

00:49:42.469 --> 00:49:44.429
then here's Jeff over here. Those two are ridiculous.

00:49:45.869 --> 00:49:49.130
Oh my God. Get a room. They're right next to

00:49:49.130 --> 00:49:51.269
us just like writhing and groaning. Jeff, why

00:49:51.269 --> 00:49:53.590
are you videoing them then? God. When you guys

00:49:53.590 --> 00:49:55.309
were facing them, Paul's like, I'd like to watch

00:49:55.309 --> 00:49:56.909
the band, but these people are in front of me.

00:49:56.909 --> 00:49:58.969
They were literally in my eyesight. And she's

00:49:58.969 --> 00:50:00.769
wearing some little leather outfit and he kept

00:50:00.769 --> 00:50:02.429
putting his hand on her ass and she kept moving

00:50:02.429 --> 00:50:05.769
his hand off her ass. Now you know why. Well,

00:50:05.769 --> 00:50:07.730
yeah. And I was like - Was that time of month?

00:50:07.849 --> 00:50:09.690
You were right, though. You were like, it's so

00:50:09.690 --> 00:50:11.409
over the top. It was. I was like, get out of

00:50:11.409 --> 00:50:13.909
here. And they were our age. Yes. At least our

00:50:13.909 --> 00:50:15.849
age. But you know what? They were having a good

00:50:15.849 --> 00:50:18.210
time. They were. And everyone there was having

00:50:18.210 --> 00:50:19.590
a good time. It was fun. It was funny because

00:50:19.590 --> 00:50:21.949
there was a couple in front of us, and I recognized

00:50:21.949 --> 00:50:24.409
them from the rail yard on one of the Friday

00:50:24.409 --> 00:50:26.070
nights that Chuck and I went out there one time.

00:50:26.070 --> 00:50:28.449
The goofy little dude? Well, I don't want to

00:50:28.449 --> 00:50:31.469
reframe it like that, but yes. The guy, I mean,

00:50:31.510 --> 00:50:33.610
he loves getting out there and dancing, and he's

00:50:33.610 --> 00:50:37.110
very - Animated. Boisterous. You know, whatever.

00:50:37.329 --> 00:50:40.309
They have a good time. And I just thought it

00:50:40.309 --> 00:50:43.190
was kind of funny. The whole experience was good.

00:50:43.289 --> 00:50:44.789
It was a good one. I can't wait for the next

00:50:44.789 --> 00:50:46.230
time they play. I'm going to be there. And it

00:50:46.230 --> 00:50:47.849
was really awesome seeing all of John's family.

00:50:47.949 --> 00:50:50.610
All of them came. His kids came. His ex -wife

00:50:50.610 --> 00:50:54.469
came. His neighbors came over there. And I got

00:50:54.469 --> 00:50:58.250
to see them all. Are they planning another gig

00:50:58.250 --> 00:51:03.949
anywhere soon? He told me it's in early... July?

00:51:03.949 --> 00:51:06.130
No, no. It might be this coming weekend or the

00:51:06.130 --> 00:51:07.730
weekend after. So hopefully, yeah, you're on

00:51:07.730 --> 00:51:10.650
the website right now. Maybe we can see. He said

00:51:10.650 --> 00:51:13.289
he was trying to line up a mid -December gig.

00:51:14.090 --> 00:51:15.829
November 20th. That's the one we saw. That's

00:51:15.829 --> 00:51:18.190
the one we saw. Okay, yeah. Then no. Then nothing

00:51:18.190 --> 00:51:20.090
else is scheduled. Oh, nothing on the timeline,

00:51:20.190 --> 00:51:22.849
huh? That's surprising. Okay. That's all right.

00:51:22.969 --> 00:51:26.369
It was a lot of fun. We need to go to that Instagram.

00:51:26.469 --> 00:51:29.309
So for our Instagram followers out there, go

00:51:29.309 --> 00:51:32.780
to FineLine. Fine Line, F -I -N -E -L -I -N -E.

00:51:33.059 --> 00:51:38.559
It is a band that is fantastic 80s, 90s, 70s.

00:51:38.559 --> 00:51:41.619
Yeah. They did a little Journey. They did some

00:51:41.619 --> 00:51:43.400
Journey. Yeah. I was impressed. Stone in Love,

00:51:43.559 --> 00:51:48.500
right? Stone in Love. And I'll tell you what,

00:51:48.559 --> 00:51:50.980
it's very difficult to get a guy that can sing

00:51:50.980 --> 00:51:52.539
those lines. But when you have a woman in the

00:51:52.539 --> 00:51:55.320
forefront, their voice is automatically attuned

00:51:55.320 --> 00:51:58.059
to that. They do. So it's just like, and we all

00:51:58.059 --> 00:52:00.840
love it. Oh my gosh, that's great. For sure.

00:52:01.820 --> 00:52:05.800
It was good. Yeah, that was a fun experience.

00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:09.960
I want to do that again. And thanks again for

00:52:09.960 --> 00:52:14.400
Tony from the Frisco Bar. Great place. They were

00:52:14.400 --> 00:52:15.820
at another location and then they moved over

00:52:15.820 --> 00:52:19.460
there. We've been to both locations a couple

00:52:19.460 --> 00:52:23.380
times. It's not really... It feels like such

00:52:23.380 --> 00:52:27.940
a homebody. It's kind of outside. Your circle

00:52:27.940 --> 00:52:31.079
of comfort? Yeah, of areas west of the tollway.

00:52:31.099 --> 00:52:33.400
Not very far west of the tollway. Yeah, I know.

00:52:33.539 --> 00:52:36.179
And it's in a weird kind of commercial office

00:52:36.179 --> 00:52:39.559
building district. Yes. It's a little odd. It

00:52:39.559 --> 00:52:41.699
is kind of strange, yes. Yeah, but it works.

00:52:41.800 --> 00:52:44.860
I mean, it's not a large place, but it's a cool

00:52:44.860 --> 00:52:48.260
setup. And they're friendly there. I'd recommend

00:52:48.260 --> 00:52:51.219
some acoustic panels in the place. They need

00:52:51.219 --> 00:52:53.300
a little low end as well. Baffles. Yeah, put

00:52:53.300 --> 00:52:57.880
a little subwoofer in there. All right. Because,

00:52:58.039 --> 00:52:59.400
you know, when you're talking and you're like,

00:52:59.480 --> 00:53:02.980
hello, hello, hello. Yeah, it was kind of. Let's

00:53:02.980 --> 00:53:06.599
check out those band members there. So who was

00:53:06.599 --> 00:53:09.280
the keytar? I think the guy on the left. Oh,

00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:12.260
there he is. What the hell, man? That is the

00:53:12.260 --> 00:53:15.940
cliche 80s rock there. It's not a mullet. What

00:53:15.940 --> 00:53:18.280
is that? That's bald with long hair on the back.

00:53:18.500 --> 00:53:21.199
He's a balding Danny Dickinson. Not Danny Dickinson.

00:53:21.800 --> 00:53:25.579
What's Dickinson? Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden.

00:53:25.739 --> 00:53:28.440
You know what's funny? They all look so different.

00:53:29.000 --> 00:53:31.340
So different. This is the most eclectic band

00:53:31.340 --> 00:53:34.539
members I've ever seen. Whatever. Yeah, but check

00:53:34.539 --> 00:53:36.340
out the lady in the front. That's crazy. All

00:53:36.340 --> 00:53:38.869
right. Anyway. Yeah, it was great. No, they sounded

00:53:38.869 --> 00:53:40.510
great. I highly recommend it. They sounded great.

00:53:40.750 --> 00:53:43.489
Super impressed. I'll tell you what. Let's chat

00:53:43.489 --> 00:53:46.730
about our whiskey that we're sampling right now.

00:53:48.469 --> 00:53:51.369
Oh, yes. Oh, the time. All right. I don't know

00:53:51.369 --> 00:53:52.909
what we're going to make of the time. This is

00:53:52.909 --> 00:53:56.670
the... We haven't had this one for quite a while.

00:53:56.690 --> 00:53:59.409
We bought this... It was probably two, three

00:53:59.409 --> 00:54:01.869
years ago at least. Really? Yeah. It was a while.

00:54:01.969 --> 00:54:04.389
So this is a Balcones product. Balcones, if you're

00:54:04.389 --> 00:54:06.750
not familiar with it, these guys are from Texas.

00:54:07.110 --> 00:54:11.289
From Waco. From Waco. And we made a pit stop

00:54:11.289 --> 00:54:13.510
there. We did. We made a pit stop there. We went

00:54:13.510 --> 00:54:17.949
to the Balcones place and to the distillery.

00:54:18.050 --> 00:54:20.210
And we never did get a follow -up from them.

00:54:20.710 --> 00:54:24.210
But they produce a good product. They're all

00:54:24.210 --> 00:54:26.010
pretty much single malts, aren't they? Yeah.

00:54:26.030 --> 00:54:28.019
I think they are now. And some rums. And some

00:54:28.019 --> 00:54:30.579
rums they have. Yeah, they got rid of the one

00:54:30.579 --> 00:54:33.320
we really liked. Well. The hazmat. Yeah, the

00:54:33.320 --> 00:54:35.039
hazmat one, which was the rumble. What was that

00:54:35.039 --> 00:54:37.320
called? Rumble, yeah. Yeah, the rumble was great.

00:54:37.420 --> 00:54:38.880
And he's just like, well, we're never bringing

00:54:38.880 --> 00:54:41.360
that back because for some reason it was. Well,

00:54:41.360 --> 00:54:43.440
they said they just didn't, that it wasn't their

00:54:43.440 --> 00:54:46.019
clientele or something. It wasn't a big seller,

00:54:46.079 --> 00:54:49.099
but for us, we loved it. Yeah. It was a 130 -something

00:54:49.099 --> 00:54:51.840
proof, right? Yeah, it was 139. Yeah, it was

00:54:51.840 --> 00:54:54.380
a heavy hitter. Yeah, we liked it. It was rich.

00:54:54.500 --> 00:54:57.119
It was yummy. But, you know, I'm kind of enjoying

00:54:57.119 --> 00:55:00.920
the single malts. You know, it's got that little

00:55:00.920 --> 00:55:06.159
rubbery, buttery kind of bump. You know, it's

00:55:06.159 --> 00:55:10.260
got the cliche, classic single malt. I don't

00:55:10.260 --> 00:55:12.440
really know how to describe it. You know, let

00:55:12.440 --> 00:55:16.159
me take a poll here. So this is 106 proof. I'll

00:55:16.159 --> 00:55:17.860
tell you what, the first pool I had off of this,

00:55:17.960 --> 00:55:21.760
it felt much hotter than 106 to me. Yeah, it's

00:55:21.760 --> 00:55:24.559
got a bite. It's got a bite to it. I asked Sean,

00:55:24.619 --> 00:55:26.860
I was like, what's the proof on this thing? And

00:55:26.860 --> 00:55:30.159
it's 106. Which is not crazy. And Julie took

00:55:30.159 --> 00:55:33.019
it downstairs, and she didn't care for it. She

00:55:33.019 --> 00:55:35.420
goes, it's really hot, really spicy. Oh, it is.

00:55:35.500 --> 00:55:37.360
It's very spicy. Yeah. It's interesting. You

00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:41.969
would almost think it's a rye. Yeah. Our perception

00:55:41.969 --> 00:55:45.690
of what a rye was, which we were totally wrong,

00:55:45.849 --> 00:55:49.530
by the way. Right. We should make a little box

00:55:49.530 --> 00:55:51.429
so it gets up a little bit for the camera. Yeah,

00:55:51.750 --> 00:55:54.710
for the camera. We got to think about cameras

00:55:54.710 --> 00:55:57.670
now. A little stand with some nice finials. Maybe

00:55:57.670 --> 00:56:01.250
a Lazy Susan. Oh, yeah, very nice. Turn it. So

00:56:01.250 --> 00:56:04.510
anyway, single malts have a distinctive taste

00:56:04.510 --> 00:56:06.269
to them, I think. There's an underlying thing

00:56:06.269 --> 00:56:09.150
to single malts. This one is faint to me. This

00:56:09.150 --> 00:56:12.449
is a little more on the whiskey side than a single

00:56:12.449 --> 00:56:15.809
malt side. The taste is there for me. It's rich.

00:56:16.150 --> 00:56:18.210
Yeah, it's rich. There's some sweetness. There's

00:56:18.210 --> 00:56:20.849
a bite to it. But there's an underlying single

00:56:20.849 --> 00:56:24.090
malt, whatever it is, that maltiness, that flavor

00:56:24.090 --> 00:56:28.429
that you get that is in there. But it's not as

00:56:28.429 --> 00:56:30.710
strong as some of the other ones we have. True.

00:56:31.269 --> 00:56:37.030
True. I've got hints of stone fruit, dark cherry

00:56:37.030 --> 00:56:42.210
kind of style. It's spicy. Cinnamon. It is definitely

00:56:42.210 --> 00:56:48.670
spicy. Roasted, warm spice. Well, this up here

00:56:48.670 --> 00:56:52.030
says that it has a hint of Italian sausage. Oh,

00:56:52.050 --> 00:56:54.469
wow. I don't know if I picked that up. I'm not

00:56:54.469 --> 00:56:57.389
sure. What is that? Wedding soup? What is that

00:56:57.389 --> 00:56:59.389
called? Yeah, the wedding soup. Is that called

00:56:59.389 --> 00:57:01.150
wedding soup? It's got that type of sausage in

00:57:01.150 --> 00:57:03.349
there? Interesting. I don't smell Italian sausage.

00:57:03.349 --> 00:57:06.469
I have not heard of wedding soup. They have it

00:57:06.469 --> 00:57:09.300
at... What's Olive Garden? They have it where?

00:57:09.519 --> 00:57:12.019
At Olive Garden. It's a German cookie cake thing

00:57:12.019 --> 00:57:13.760
that they serve at holidays. You're talking about

00:57:13.760 --> 00:57:16.760
pasta fagioli? Pasta fagioli? Kind of like a

00:57:16.760 --> 00:57:19.800
white bread. Olive Garden? Yeah, the pasta fagioli.

00:57:20.940 --> 00:57:24.300
It's the beef. I just trolled. Yeah, awesome.

00:57:24.820 --> 00:57:26.559
It's literally dripping off your microphone.

00:57:26.719 --> 00:57:29.880
Oh, don't do that. We have video now, Sean. Oh.

00:57:30.139 --> 00:57:31.920
He's licking his microphone. I didn't really

00:57:31.920 --> 00:57:34.119
lick it. That's going to be a short. It is. Oh,

00:57:34.280 --> 00:57:37.079
great. Oh, let me write down the time. Yes, perfect.

00:57:37.380 --> 00:57:39.119
I'll write down the time for the video short.

00:57:39.579 --> 00:57:41.380
Excellent, excellent. All right, so the nose,

00:57:41.500 --> 00:57:43.980
ripe buttered stone fruit, banana, pears, honey,

00:57:44.059 --> 00:57:46.780
rose water, delicate citrus accents, toffee,

00:57:46.900 --> 00:57:49.719
overripe roots, dried figs, caramel, sugar, nutmeg,

00:57:49.800 --> 00:57:51.880
and cinnamon. That's just the nose. That's just

00:57:51.880 --> 00:57:53.880
the nose. That's too much. There's not that much

00:57:53.880 --> 00:57:56.059
in a nose. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. But

00:57:56.059 --> 00:57:58.380
the palate, they're kind of silky and full -bodied,

00:57:58.380 --> 00:58:02.320
lightly toasted bread, fresh butter, and marmalade.

00:58:03.210 --> 00:58:05.610
Roasted nut sack, caramel, dark fruit, warm spice,

00:58:05.730 --> 00:58:07.530
hint cinnamon, salted pear. Did you say roasted

00:58:07.530 --> 00:58:09.570
nut sack? Yeah, I kind of added the sack part.

00:58:09.730 --> 00:58:12.730
You like hold a candle underneath? Kind of singe

00:58:12.730 --> 00:58:14.789
it a little. That's a little waft. Wow. Baked

00:58:14.789 --> 00:58:17.230
pears and apples. The finish is long and lingering

00:58:17.230 --> 00:58:20.050
with notes of burnt sugar, malt, and wood flavors.

00:58:20.090 --> 00:58:22.670
A drying finish with subtle roasted hazelnut

00:58:22.670 --> 00:58:24.750
flavor. We got to give this a different category

00:58:24.750 --> 00:58:27.670
also. So this is a single malt category. We do

00:58:27.670 --> 00:58:28.949
need to give it a - Well, then Rare Character

00:58:28.949 --> 00:58:31.980
goes in that. That's true. Well, if it's a single

00:58:31.980 --> 00:58:34.099
malt. Sure. Yeah, not all rare characters, but

00:58:34.099 --> 00:58:36.119
the first two rare characters we have are single

00:58:36.119 --> 00:58:38.059
malts. I don't know. I mean, do we do it? I mean,

00:58:38.099 --> 00:58:41.159
are we separating the rye from the bourbons?

00:58:41.539 --> 00:58:44.739
No, we're not. So maybe we don't. I don't know.

00:58:45.019 --> 00:58:48.139
Well, it's all whiskey. It's all whiskey. There

00:58:48.139 --> 00:58:52.559
you go. It is whiskey. So knowing what this is,

00:58:52.860 --> 00:58:58.019
you know. The more I think about the, what do

00:58:58.019 --> 00:59:00.840
they call it, a flash of heat at the end of it,

00:59:00.880 --> 00:59:02.800
I think it said on the taste, on the finish.

00:59:04.440 --> 00:59:08.920
It's a lot. It's a lot. This is not my favorite.

00:59:08.920 --> 00:59:10.480
I was going to say, and it's probably that heat

00:59:10.480 --> 00:59:14.059
that keeps me from being like, this is great.

00:59:14.199 --> 00:59:17.199
Right. Now, this isn't a single barrel, is it?

00:59:17.659 --> 00:59:21.039
No. So would I get this again? Would we get this

00:59:21.039 --> 00:59:27.809
again? I would. I would like to, yes, I would.

00:59:27.989 --> 00:59:30.150
I want to get more single malts, personally.

00:59:30.389 --> 00:59:32.329
I am personally going to get more single malts

00:59:32.329 --> 00:59:34.530
for my collection. Let's put it that way. You

00:59:34.530 --> 00:59:36.150
know, I'm kind of liking them more and more.

00:59:36.769 --> 00:59:38.630
Did we get a replacement for this? I don't know.

00:59:39.550 --> 00:59:42.309
There's enough here for another round if we want

00:59:42.309 --> 00:59:44.570
to do this in the future. I mean, I'll drink

00:59:44.570 --> 00:59:46.349
it again, no question. I'm not going to turn

00:59:46.349 --> 00:59:47.889
it down. Yeah, I mean, if you brought a bottle

00:59:47.889 --> 00:59:49.150
of this over and you're like, we're drinking

00:59:49.150 --> 00:59:50.550
this, I'm like, all right, I'd have no problem

00:59:50.550 --> 00:59:52.869
with that. Right. All of it. But it's a matter

00:59:52.869 --> 00:59:55.449
of do you want to drop another $60, $70 on this?

00:59:55.690 --> 00:59:57.610
Because that's right where it's at. It's around

00:59:57.610 --> 01:00:01.010
$50, $60. And I would say also, I would need

01:00:01.010 --> 01:00:04.170
to try more. If we're going to get this on a

01:00:04.170 --> 01:00:06.289
single malt competition type of thing, I would

01:00:06.289 --> 01:00:08.130
need to try a lot of other single malts before

01:00:08.130 --> 01:00:10.369
I gave this one props. Well, it's not empty.

01:00:10.409 --> 01:00:12.550
We still have another one. I mean, look, as a

01:00:12.550 --> 01:00:14.570
rating, I'm going to give this a 6 .2. I was

01:00:14.570 --> 01:00:17.469
right at 6. I was going to say 6 .1. We're all

01:00:17.469 --> 01:00:19.369
on the same page. There you go. Average out at

01:00:19.369 --> 01:00:22.579
6 .1. Yeah. That's good. It's not kicking out

01:00:22.579 --> 01:00:26.260
of bed. So we had the Swift single malt. I think

01:00:26.260 --> 01:00:28.059
I like the Swift single malt better than this.

01:00:28.280 --> 01:00:31.840
Yeah. NVU with the Swift single malt, they had

01:00:31.840 --> 01:00:33.820
two. Is that correct? They had two single malts?

01:00:33.820 --> 01:00:36.380
They were two, yes. And both of those were terrific.

01:00:36.840 --> 01:00:41.340
This is good. It's respectable. I mean, I wonder

01:00:41.340 --> 01:00:42.739
if we should ever do, you know how they have

01:00:42.739 --> 01:00:45.000
like a flight, right? They have a flight of single

01:00:45.000 --> 01:00:47.329
malts. We need to do a blind. one of these times.

01:00:47.469 --> 01:00:49.389
It wouldn't be a bad idea for us to do three

01:00:49.389 --> 01:00:51.949
smaller pours of three different single malts.

01:00:51.969 --> 01:00:54.630
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Three strong pours

01:00:54.630 --> 01:00:59.570
of three single malts. Six ouches. Perfect. That's

01:00:59.570 --> 01:01:02.130
a Friday night podcast. Yeah, what could possibly

01:01:02.130 --> 01:01:04.469
go wrong with that idea? It would be bad for

01:01:04.469 --> 01:01:06.769
a Friday night podcast. I go to work drunk. Yeah,

01:01:06.789 --> 01:01:09.889
perfect. Yeah. Great. All right, well, there

01:01:09.889 --> 01:01:12.369
you have it. So one more time, what's the full

01:01:12.369 --> 01:01:14.760
name of it? The shout out to the Balcones, the

01:01:14.760 --> 01:01:17.119
Texas single malt whiskey, the pot distilled,

01:01:17.179 --> 01:01:22.880
53 .5, 33%, the original Texas whiskey. I think

01:01:22.880 --> 01:01:25.199
they call it the Balcones One. The Balcones One?

01:01:25.360 --> 01:01:27.880
Yeah. That's the official name of it? Yeah. I

01:01:27.880 --> 01:01:30.579
need glasses. But there you go. It's kind of

01:01:30.579 --> 01:01:33.639
like hinted in the background. And Balcones,

01:01:33.719 --> 01:01:36.960
we would love for another sample. If you bring,

01:01:37.219 --> 01:01:41.599
send a bottle our way, and we would love to.

01:01:42.610 --> 01:01:45.630
Partake and give our opinions. Even a half bottle.

01:01:45.809 --> 01:01:50.469
I don't even care. Whatever. I went to a place

01:01:50.469 --> 01:01:53.369
today. I think I said this on the podcast. There

01:01:53.369 --> 01:01:55.389
was three liquor stores right by my claim. Right.

01:01:55.489 --> 01:01:57.570
Is that right? Did I say it on the podcast? I

01:01:57.570 --> 01:02:00.309
don't know. You did not. They had three liquor

01:02:00.309 --> 01:02:04.230
stores right next door. I mean, they're only

01:02:04.230 --> 01:02:08.739
within 20 miles each. But they had a large selection

01:02:08.739 --> 01:02:11.719
of Balcones, and I was so tempted to get one,

01:02:11.800 --> 01:02:13.280
but I was like, no, I'm not buying anything.

01:02:13.639 --> 01:02:15.360
Actually, that's not true. I went to Total Wine

01:02:15.360 --> 01:02:21.159
and bought two more Old Scouts rye whiskey. Old

01:02:21.159 --> 01:02:23.619
Scout rye whiskey. Normally like 50, 60 bucks,

01:02:23.760 --> 01:02:28.940
right? $26. Yeah, prices are falling. $26. So

01:02:28.940 --> 01:02:31.460
I bought two bottles. Oh, wow. Come on, man.

01:02:31.500 --> 01:02:33.719
Where are you going to find a great rye whiskey?

01:02:34.179 --> 01:02:38.829
What do you think the proof is? $119. You didn't

01:02:38.829 --> 01:02:41.750
give us the time? Because it's fruitless. We

01:02:41.750 --> 01:02:42.969
would have got there eventually. That would have

01:02:42.969 --> 01:02:44.650
been a fun game. That would have been a really

01:02:44.650 --> 01:02:52.730
fun game. Hot, warm, hot, cold. For $26. Is it

01:02:52.730 --> 01:02:55.949
good stuff? I enjoy the hell out of it. This

01:02:55.949 --> 01:03:00.190
is bottle three and four that I purchased. I

01:03:00.190 --> 01:03:02.610
already drank a bottle. I brought a bottle over

01:03:02.610 --> 01:03:06.659
to Paul's house. He finished it. Okay, so I actually

01:03:06.659 --> 01:03:09.280
didn't. So I don't know. I did not. I did not.

01:03:09.340 --> 01:03:12.619
So now, if the boys did, Dawson did, but that's

01:03:12.619 --> 01:03:14.360
not what he does. He doesn't drink it straight.

01:03:14.719 --> 01:03:17.320
I honestly think it was consumed the night you

01:03:17.320 --> 01:03:19.980
brought it over. It wasn't me, and it wasn't

01:03:19.980 --> 01:03:24.400
Dawson. So who else? Shelly. My wife is doing

01:03:24.400 --> 01:03:27.239
midnight drinking. Is she a big rye fan? No.

01:03:27.940 --> 01:03:32.880
No. Rye and Cokes? No. No. Actually, I don't

01:03:32.880 --> 01:03:36.280
even care. I'd be completely honest. I'm having

01:03:36.280 --> 01:03:38.199
more fun. I know. I didn't drink it. I haven't

01:03:38.199 --> 01:03:41.719
had more fun watching you squirm, but the reality

01:03:41.719 --> 01:03:43.659
is I brought it over to your house brand new.

01:03:43.739 --> 01:03:46.539
No squirming. Look at me. There's no shivering,

01:03:46.639 --> 01:03:51.159
no squirming. Oh. Yeah. Because we pounded it

01:03:51.159 --> 01:03:53.300
that night. That's why. No, we did not. Oh, my

01:03:53.300 --> 01:03:57.480
goodness. Crazy. All right. Or the only other

01:03:57.480 --> 01:04:00.099
thing is while we were gone, right? We went down

01:04:00.099 --> 01:04:03.139
to Brian Cole Station. If Brody had a party.

01:04:03.969 --> 01:04:06.210
That is highly possible. It's highly possible.

01:04:06.250 --> 01:04:08.369
I don't even care. Like I said, they were on

01:04:08.369 --> 01:04:10.510
sale because I bought the first round. They were

01:04:10.510 --> 01:04:13.369
$32 the first time and now they're $26. I'm like,

01:04:13.409 --> 01:04:15.329
what the hell is going on? This is terrific stuff.

01:04:15.769 --> 01:04:19.329
But you know when you have a party and then,

01:04:19.489 --> 01:04:21.269
well, you don't have a party. You come back and

01:04:21.269 --> 01:04:23.170
you're looking at your collection and all of

01:04:23.170 --> 01:04:25.869
them are curiously towards the bottom of the

01:04:25.869 --> 01:04:29.030
bottle but not empty. You're like, I don't think

01:04:29.030 --> 01:04:31.329
I drank that much. And they're all like the same

01:04:31.329 --> 01:04:34.179
level. Do you know what I'm talking about? It's

01:04:34.179 --> 01:04:35.659
like before you go to Ted, you go take a picture

01:04:35.659 --> 01:04:38.320
of it. I need to because I was like, that's just

01:04:38.320 --> 01:04:40.639
so strange. Every single one of them, I was like,

01:04:40.679 --> 01:04:42.639
man, I don't remember being on the verge. Then

01:04:42.639 --> 01:04:44.000
you go, hey, Brody, come here. Let's look at

01:04:44.000 --> 01:04:47.199
this for a second. Right. That looks different.

01:04:47.340 --> 01:04:49.300
Yes. What do you think looks different about

01:04:49.300 --> 01:04:51.039
this picture? Take two pictures and go, circle

01:04:51.039 --> 01:04:55.039
the differences. Where's Waldo? Where's the alcohol?

01:04:55.340 --> 01:04:57.539
Make it fun. Right. As he incriminates himself.

01:04:58.250 --> 01:04:59.710
You know what? That might be what happened. I

01:04:59.710 --> 01:05:02.389
don't know. So I want to bring up some politics

01:05:02.389 --> 01:05:06.610
just because this is specifically talking about

01:05:06.610 --> 01:05:12.889
the controversial naval strikes. Oh, the narco

01:05:12.889 --> 01:05:16.949
-terrorists. Yeah, they're like, so we have our

01:05:16.949 --> 01:05:20.230
own country. I mean, it's different when you

01:05:20.230 --> 01:05:22.849
have another country that's coming to us and

01:05:22.849 --> 01:05:24.590
they're kind of like, hey, we think you guys,

01:05:24.630 --> 01:05:27.250
this is a war crime. But when you have your...

01:05:27.500 --> 01:05:31.280
Own country throwing stones at its own administration

01:05:31.280 --> 01:05:33.840
that they're conducting war crimes. Of course.

01:05:33.860 --> 01:05:35.760
And I'm like, get out of here. Because they're

01:05:35.760 --> 01:05:38.960
looking for anything to punish Trump and his

01:05:38.960 --> 01:05:42.780
cabinet. Correct. It's extreme Trump derangement

01:05:42.780 --> 01:05:44.940
syndrome. And they're looking for any excuse

01:05:44.940 --> 01:05:47.699
to make us look bad. We have quite the setup

01:05:47.699 --> 01:05:53.599
in the ocean out there. God damn it. Where is

01:05:53.599 --> 01:05:56.199
it at? In the Caribbean? They've also done the

01:05:56.199 --> 01:05:58.880
no -fly zone over Venezuela, so their whole airspace

01:05:58.880 --> 01:06:04.699
is empty. So did they, did all airlines adhere

01:06:04.699 --> 01:06:06.579
to it? Yep. Do you know that for a fact? Well,

01:06:06.579 --> 01:06:08.679
I saw some map, and there's... Oh, great. Okay,

01:06:08.679 --> 01:06:10.599
well, yeah, because Trump said, I am declaring

01:06:10.599 --> 01:06:13.480
their airspace closed. Yeah, there was a map

01:06:13.480 --> 01:06:17.000
of all the planes. Venezuela and the seas around

01:06:17.000 --> 01:06:19.579
it were empty. Damn. Which means he's close to

01:06:19.579 --> 01:06:22.699
launching land strikes against the cartels. Well,

01:06:22.699 --> 01:06:26.619
he's got that new naval ship that's off in the

01:06:26.619 --> 01:06:28.739
Caribbean out there? Dude, they're about to go.

01:06:28.920 --> 01:06:31.480
I mean, I've talked to some folks that I game

01:06:31.480 --> 01:06:34.219
with and they say, yeah, we're prepping. We're

01:06:34.219 --> 01:06:36.880
heading that way. How do we feel about this?

01:06:37.739 --> 01:06:41.840
Well, Maduro, from what I've heard, didn't technically

01:06:41.840 --> 01:06:46.039
win the election, but he is still in power. But

01:06:46.039 --> 01:06:48.119
I don't think that's why we're doing this. We're

01:06:48.119 --> 01:06:50.579
doing this because he is so closely tied to the

01:06:50.579 --> 01:06:52.780
cartels that he's basically the cartel leader.

01:06:53.000 --> 01:06:55.380
Correct. That's why Trump's going after him,

01:06:55.400 --> 01:06:59.400
not for regime change, not because of the illegitimate

01:06:59.400 --> 01:07:04.360
election. It's because we are not going to stem

01:07:04.360 --> 01:07:07.280
the flow of drugs from and through Venezuela

01:07:07.280 --> 01:07:11.380
with him in power. That's a fact. So Venezuela,

01:07:11.539 --> 01:07:15.380
a lot of it comes through Mexico as well. Are

01:07:15.380 --> 01:07:19.280
they next? I don't know. I don't think Mexico

01:07:19.280 --> 01:07:22.820
has an infrastructure to control anything. I

01:07:22.820 --> 01:07:25.760
think that they're just allowing shit to happen.

01:07:25.820 --> 01:07:27.539
Well, the cartels are. That's what I mean. Are

01:07:27.539 --> 01:07:31.119
we going to go in and bomb the cartels in Mexico?

01:07:31.719 --> 01:07:33.119
Yes. Because that's what they're planning on

01:07:33.119 --> 01:07:35.139
doing. I don't know. Bombing. I don't think.

01:07:36.000 --> 01:07:38.000
I'm not sure. I don't think they're going to.

01:07:38.000 --> 01:07:42.500
They're bombing. They're going to use drone strikes.

01:07:43.239 --> 01:07:46.420
And they're going to do surgical drone strikes

01:07:46.420 --> 01:07:50.280
from afar. And it's essentially the same. I mean,

01:07:50.280 --> 01:07:51.400
what you're asking is, are they going to do the

01:07:51.400 --> 01:07:53.159
same type of drone strikes in Mexico? And I would

01:07:53.159 --> 01:07:56.099
say no. Venezuela is not the only country sending

01:07:56.099 --> 01:07:59.099
drugs this way. No. Colombia, too. Are they next?

01:07:59.280 --> 01:08:02.019
Yes. That's what I mean. Because the leader of

01:08:02.019 --> 01:08:05.360
Colombia is in the same category as Maduro, which

01:08:05.360 --> 01:08:08.219
is he's in bed with the cartels. What about Honduras,

01:08:08.320 --> 01:08:11.460
Nicaragua, El Salvador, all of them? I think.

01:08:11.719 --> 01:08:14.780
Belize? I think what Trump's doing. Trump's going

01:08:14.780 --> 01:08:17.380
to make an example. out of Venezuela and possibly

01:08:17.380 --> 01:08:21.500
Colombia, and I think he's hoping that the rest

01:08:21.500 --> 01:08:22.659
of these countries are going to be like, oh,

01:08:22.659 --> 01:08:24.920
shit, okay, we've got to make some changes here.

01:08:24.979 --> 01:08:26.899
We're going to get fucked up if we don't. What

01:08:26.899 --> 01:08:29.880
I'm afraid of is Colombia has lots of jungles

01:08:29.880 --> 01:08:34.260
like Vietnam, right? I don't want to see us get

01:08:34.260 --> 01:08:38.840
mired down into something like that. That's the

01:08:38.840 --> 01:08:42.560
risk. Because jungles, you know, airstrikes are

01:08:42.560 --> 01:08:45.630
not as easy with that. Can't we just do Agent

01:08:45.630 --> 01:08:47.029
Orange like we did in Vietnam? That's what I

01:08:47.029 --> 01:08:49.789
mean. Just a little napalm. I think technology

01:08:49.789 --> 01:08:54.369
has taken a quantum leap with satellite imaging

01:08:54.369 --> 01:08:59.010
and just the drone efforts that they have. And

01:08:59.010 --> 01:09:02.390
thermals. Yeah, just across the board. Can you

01:09:02.390 --> 01:09:05.609
ID 100 % with a thermal yellow blob? There are

01:09:05.609 --> 01:09:08.000
people down there right now. Well, I know, but

01:09:08.000 --> 01:09:10.560
it'll be a ground thing. What I don't want it

01:09:10.560 --> 01:09:12.220
to turn into is another Vietnam thing. Yeah,

01:09:12.220 --> 01:09:13.779
you don't want boots on the ground. Jungle. I

01:09:13.779 --> 01:09:15.260
agree. I don't either, but I don't want boots

01:09:15.260 --> 01:09:17.079
on the ground. I don't think. We already have

01:09:17.079 --> 01:09:20.109
boots on the ground. Yeah, but it's more reconnaissance.

01:09:20.109 --> 01:09:22.430
But it's not the same kind of boots on the ground.

01:09:22.609 --> 01:09:24.510
It's not boots on the ground as far as infantry.

01:09:24.970 --> 01:09:27.689
It's reconnaissance. So we've got guys there

01:09:27.689 --> 01:09:31.170
that are scoping it out. So your concern is that

01:09:31.170 --> 01:09:32.689
you don't want to be killing the wrong people.

01:09:32.789 --> 01:09:34.729
And that's fair. Kind of like those boats that

01:09:34.729 --> 01:09:37.090
are being, they're saying there's martyrs on

01:09:37.090 --> 01:09:38.970
that boat. Well, not just that, but getting mired

01:09:38.970 --> 01:09:42.289
down into a jungle battle. Yeah, we don't want

01:09:42.289 --> 01:09:45.960
our troops killed. Correct. I hope we don't put

01:09:45.960 --> 01:09:47.520
ourselves in that business. I don't think we

01:09:47.520 --> 01:09:49.899
are. I think that we're going to do this smartly.

01:09:50.140 --> 01:09:52.460
We're going to do it from afar. And, yeah, we'll

01:09:52.460 --> 01:09:54.720
have some surgical teams that go in there, you

01:09:54.720 --> 01:09:57.279
know, kind of like just like anything else. I

01:09:57.279 --> 01:10:00.460
don't think it's going to be like Iraq or Kuwait

01:10:00.460 --> 01:10:03.800
or any of those kind of. Well, those are like

01:10:03.800 --> 01:10:06.539
nice open deserts, so you can like zoom in on

01:10:06.539 --> 01:10:11.729
them. So that's why. What's your name? M .J.

01:10:13.189 --> 01:10:15.729
Marjorie Taylor? Yes. That's why that started

01:10:15.729 --> 01:10:19.130
her big rift with Trump. She's like, we don't

01:10:19.130 --> 01:10:22.529
need to get involved in regime change and getting

01:10:22.529 --> 01:10:25.449
boots on the ground and foreign conflicts. And

01:10:25.449 --> 01:10:27.130
you said you wouldn't do that. And that's, I

01:10:27.130 --> 01:10:30.500
think, what started their rift. And I understand

01:10:30.500 --> 01:10:33.579
what she's saying. Yeah. I don't know how I feel.

01:10:33.659 --> 01:10:35.760
We don't have enough time to talk about her because

01:10:35.760 --> 01:10:38.319
I really don't. I knew there was some drama going

01:10:38.319 --> 01:10:40.159
on or some friction going on between the two.

01:10:40.340 --> 01:10:42.600
And I know Trump said some shitty things. He

01:10:42.600 --> 01:10:44.319
did. And she said some shitty things. But you

01:10:44.319 --> 01:10:46.579
know what? That's how you get shit to work is

01:10:46.579 --> 01:10:49.979
that you poke each other and you talk about it.

01:10:50.020 --> 01:10:52.840
She didn't like it and she quit. Shit. Good for

01:10:52.840 --> 01:10:55.750
her. You know? I think it... Well, it's because

01:10:55.750 --> 01:10:58.869
Trump said he was not going to support her re

01:10:58.869 --> 01:11:01.189
-election campaign and actually put all of his

01:11:01.189 --> 01:11:03.229
weight behind the person challenging her. So

01:11:03.229 --> 01:11:04.510
she was like, you know what, fuck it, I'm out.

01:11:06.409 --> 01:11:08.050
That's too bad. Yeah, we can talk about that

01:11:08.050 --> 01:11:11.010
some more in the second half. Happy Thanksgiving

01:11:11.010 --> 01:11:12.869
for those listeners out there. Hope you guys

01:11:12.869 --> 01:11:16.390
had a great Thanksgiving. Yeah, for sure. Turkey,

01:11:16.510 --> 01:11:19.550
turkey, gobble, gobble. Dudes Like Us, it's December

01:11:19.550 --> 01:11:25.289
2nd. Ooh, 2025. Good. Yeah, you're killing it.

01:11:25.329 --> 01:11:27.949
Is that your third pour? No, it's my first one.

01:11:28.010 --> 01:11:30.369
You go down an ounce, man. Anyways, dudes, I

01:11:30.369 --> 01:11:34.250
guess I'm Sean. I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff. Thanks,

01:11:34.329 --> 01:11:34.470
Chuck.
