WEBVTT

00:00:02.410 --> 00:00:04.690
All right. Is there a way to get the blinking

00:00:04.690 --> 00:00:09.250
to stop? Why is it blinking? And the S. Oh, the

00:00:09.250 --> 00:00:11.949
M and the S are bothering you? Yes. Why? Go get

00:00:11.949 --> 00:00:15.349
some black tape. That's the first thing I noticed

00:00:15.349 --> 00:00:16.789
when you sent that video. I was like, why is

00:00:16.789 --> 00:00:20.769
it blinking? Why does it matter? It shouldn't

00:00:20.769 --> 00:00:23.449
blink. Why is it blinking? All right, well, I'll

00:00:23.449 --> 00:00:25.609
have to look into... I'll tear it apart and see

00:00:25.609 --> 00:00:27.629
if I can. Can you get to the circuit board? Yeah,

00:00:27.649 --> 00:00:30.589
solder something onto it. We got some black duct

00:00:30.589 --> 00:00:32.189
tape around here. I'll just put some duct tape

00:00:32.189 --> 00:00:34.009
on. There we go. That would work. I got a Sharpie.

00:00:34.009 --> 00:00:35.310
The listeners now that they don't know what we're

00:00:35.310 --> 00:00:38.810
talking about, we're constantly doing these little

00:00:38.810 --> 00:00:42.130
minor upgrades to the podcast room. Paul has

00:00:42.130 --> 00:00:48.689
procured a little timer. Big timer. And this

00:00:48.689 --> 00:00:53.969
one counts up. It's counting. It's supposed to

00:00:53.969 --> 00:00:57.469
be one minute now. And it's coordinating or aligning

00:00:57.469 --> 00:01:02.570
with our audio recordings. This is good stuff.

00:01:03.210 --> 00:01:05.629
Hey, we're doing real stuff now. Constantly.

00:01:05.629 --> 00:01:09.239
And we got a new Dudes Like Us logo. Behind us.

00:01:09.260 --> 00:01:12.000
The game is all working. We got the mound over

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.299
here. Things are going good, man. Hey, look.

00:01:14.379 --> 00:01:17.260
It is December 2nd. It's the second half of Dudes

00:01:17.260 --> 00:01:20.599

00:01:39.579 --> 00:01:43.219
podcast for special people it is yeah so so paul

00:01:43.219 --> 00:01:45.879
and i have discussed our thanksgiving uh excitement

00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:48.939
yes sean hasn't gotten into his mine is very

00:01:48.939 --> 00:01:53.260
uh very tame very it it's it's it's super traditional

00:01:53.260 --> 00:01:56.040
did you have meat pie uh there wasn't tootsie

00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:59.420
air uh meat pie which is fantastic by the way

00:01:59.420 --> 00:02:01.439
i mean i wish someone would make that but um

00:02:01.950 --> 00:02:04.290
I thought that was a staple that your in -laws

00:02:04.290 --> 00:02:11.030
made. I think it's more French, but it was my

00:02:11.030 --> 00:02:14.090
wife's grandmother used to make it. She's no

00:02:14.090 --> 00:02:18.349
longer with us. And then her daughter would make

00:02:18.349 --> 00:02:20.409
it. I'm sorry, her daughter -in -law would make

00:02:20.409 --> 00:02:23.370
it. And then she passed away, too. Or something

00:02:23.370 --> 00:02:24.909
like that. So no one has that recipe anywhere?

00:02:25.289 --> 00:02:28.729
I'd like to see it re -emerge because it's a

00:02:28.729 --> 00:02:30.949
love it. I think it's called Tutsier. I think

00:02:30.949 --> 00:02:32.150
that's what it's called. It's basically, it's

00:02:32.150 --> 00:02:34.990
a meat pie. Can you spell that? No. Correctly?

00:02:34.990 --> 00:02:37.629
No. Hasn't Tara made it before or tried to make

00:02:37.629 --> 00:02:39.330
it before? No, I don't think so. Okay, so what

00:02:39.330 --> 00:02:40.530
am I thinking of? Because I've been to Irish

00:02:40.530 --> 00:02:42.750
bars. It's not a shepherd's pie. It's like a

00:02:42.750 --> 00:02:44.270
shepherd's pie. That's what I'm talking about.

00:02:44.490 --> 00:02:46.430
It's not a shepherd's pie. Maybe this is like

00:02:46.430 --> 00:02:51.110
a French pie. French pie. With a very creative.

00:02:51.370 --> 00:02:57.729
Yes. Pie de France. Okay. So it's called a tourtiere.

00:02:58.150 --> 00:03:05.949
Tourtiere. It is T -O -U -R -T -I -E -R -E. It's

00:03:05.949 --> 00:03:10.110
pronounced Toutier. Toutier. It's a traditional

00:03:10.110 --> 00:03:13.449
French -Canadian double -crusted meat pie. It's

00:03:13.449 --> 00:03:15.569
a staple of an American's Christmas Eve. Oh,

00:03:15.569 --> 00:03:17.650
it looks good. What is the meat seasoned with?

00:03:18.310 --> 00:03:22.610
It's like spiced. Like tarragon? Well, I mean,

00:03:22.710 --> 00:03:25.870
actually, just read it up there, but it was kind

00:03:25.870 --> 00:03:29.159
of like cloves and minced meat. Beef. I'm writing

00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:32.840
that down. Two -tier pie. Look, it was terrific.

00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:35.539
I enjoyed it every single year. It was a staple

00:03:35.539 --> 00:03:38.319
that it was for every single. Look at that. Look

00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:39.719
at that. Go back up there. Look at that. But

00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:41.240
you're saying you did not have it this year.

00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:42.800
We didn't have it. We haven't had it for quite

00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.460
some time. Looks like a hamburger. It basically

00:03:45.460 --> 00:03:48.780
is, but it's seasoned perfect. They're showing

00:03:48.780 --> 00:03:50.840
exactly how to do it right here. It's on Grow

00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.520
a Good Life website. Oh, poultry, seasoning,

00:03:53.699 --> 00:03:55.659
cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and.

00:03:56.750 --> 00:03:59.169
Potato water. You know what? I'm inspired. I

00:03:59.169 --> 00:04:01.389
know. I am too, actually. I'm going to make this

00:04:01.389 --> 00:04:03.030
for the next... I'm going to make this for God

00:04:03.030 --> 00:04:05.990
bless and Christmas. Grow? Slap my ass and call

00:04:05.990 --> 00:04:08.069
me Slap Happy Seasonal. I'm going to make it.

00:04:08.270 --> 00:04:10.610
Are you going to make the crust by hand? I'm

00:04:10.610 --> 00:04:12.550
going to have probably some help making that,

00:04:12.689 --> 00:04:16.769
but this one... They didn't have that this year,

00:04:16.850 --> 00:04:19.769
so we went over to my in -law's house. We go

00:04:19.769 --> 00:04:21.850
back and forth. Sometimes Thanksgiving's at my

00:04:21.850 --> 00:04:23.889
house. Sometimes it's over at my in -law's house.

00:04:25.660 --> 00:04:28.639
It was over at my in -laws' house, and we will,

00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:30.600
over at my in -laws' house, we used to have a

00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:32.420
large gathering. It's more like a jamboree of

00:04:32.420 --> 00:04:35.980
family. Nice. And we had some people over there,

00:04:36.019 --> 00:04:38.360
some cousins and their kids. There's a Brittany

00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:42.480
from Arkansas came down. Spears. She's nice.

00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:44.819
She's cute, man. She's young, about 35 years

00:04:44.819 --> 00:04:49.160
old. She's got three kids. Nice. Nice. Nice.

00:04:52.070 --> 00:04:58.610
She's one of those nurses that does the bellies

00:04:58.610 --> 00:05:01.709
for the pregnant ladies. One of the little sonograms.

00:05:02.089 --> 00:05:05.689
A doula? Is that what they're called? That might

00:05:05.689 --> 00:05:08.470
be, actually. Is that what it's called? The sonograms?

00:05:08.709 --> 00:05:11.449
No, the doulas are the ones like the midwives

00:05:11.449 --> 00:05:12.949
type things, right? I don't think that's it.

00:05:13.069 --> 00:05:14.990
Who are like if you want to give birth in your

00:05:14.990 --> 00:05:21.370
bathtub. Supervised. No, they're called midwives.

00:05:21.790 --> 00:05:28.689
All right. Anyways, so she was there. Did anybody

00:05:28.689 --> 00:05:30.449
give birth in your Thanksgiving feast? Nobody

00:05:30.449 --> 00:05:34.089
gave birth. Okay. Somebody gave birth. Oh, my

00:05:34.089 --> 00:05:37.350
God. This is a video of Britney Spears dancing

00:05:37.350 --> 00:05:39.810
with knives. No, that is real. That's her Instagram.

00:05:40.009 --> 00:05:45.879
What is going on with her? She's psycho. I said

00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:47.680
your Britney was dancing with knives. There is

00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.199
something. You know what? Every single time she

00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:54.959
posts a video, her followers are concerned because

00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:56.660
she's becoming more and more. Yes, there's a

00:05:56.660 --> 00:05:59.360
reason she had to get emancipated from her governorship

00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.860
or whatever that was. Conservatorship. Conservatorship.

00:06:01.860 --> 00:06:05.040
She's a whack. She's still hot. I think she is,

00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:06.620
but I think she's coming unhinged. I don't think

00:06:06.620 --> 00:06:08.699
she is. And I'm going to agree with Jeff on this

00:06:08.699 --> 00:06:10.560
one. I used to think she was hotter than all

00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.079
get out. She used to be. Now she is not. There's

00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.959
something strange happening. Oh, somebody put

00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:20.160
a turkey dinner underneath her knife dancing.

00:06:20.699 --> 00:06:23.500
Okay. Wow. We can move along from that. Anyway,

00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:25.600
that did not happen at your Thanksgiving. We

00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:28.040
did not. Maybe you're going to put that on the

00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.600
video post so people can actually see what the

00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.240
hell we're talking about. I hope not, but I probably

00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:37.110
will. So we've got traditional Thanksgiving food.

00:06:37.170 --> 00:06:38.970
There was some ham out there, you know, lots

00:06:38.970 --> 00:06:42.970
of different pies and sides, turkey, you know,

00:06:42.990 --> 00:06:45.889
and there was ham, turkey. There was some brisket,

00:06:45.889 --> 00:06:48.250
and there was lots of meats, lots of vegetables,

00:06:48.410 --> 00:06:50.790
definitely the gravy and the buns. God bless.

00:06:50.810 --> 00:06:53.290
It was good. Did you have some arugula? Arugula.

00:06:53.430 --> 00:06:57.139
There wasn't any arugula. But usually what we

00:06:57.139 --> 00:07:01.740
do is we play games. It's a vegetable. My Blue

00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:04.339
Heaven with Steve Martin. I love it. What's up

00:07:04.339 --> 00:07:07.519
with the ulas? Why are we ula? Is it the contest

00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:11.879
to see how many ula words we can say? He's going

00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:14.120
through this. Steve Martin, he's this gangster

00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:17.019
in My Blue Heaven, the movie. Oh, yeah. He was

00:07:17.019 --> 00:07:20.259
so over the top. Oh, he was. And he's sent out

00:07:20.259 --> 00:07:23.720
to this little Midwest. And he's like, he's all

00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.939
freaking New York style. And he's like, hey,

00:07:26.980 --> 00:07:30.399
sir. Because he picks up one of these price machines

00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.379
where it's got the little stickers, the price

00:07:32.379 --> 00:07:35.120
tag machines. And he dials it back to like 99

00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:37.939
cents. And he starts labeling his own meat. He's

00:07:37.939 --> 00:07:40.399
got like steaks just nonstop. He's like, stick,

00:07:40.420 --> 00:07:42.259
stick, stick, stick, stick. And the guy's ringing

00:07:42.259 --> 00:07:47.220
it up. He's like, wow, that's a good deal. That'll

00:07:47.220 --> 00:07:51.079
be $5. And he's got like all these bags and the

00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:54.680
manager's kind of like, hey, how was your shopping?

00:07:54.740 --> 00:07:57.399
And he's thinking, oh, I'm busted. And the guy's,

00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:59.199
how was your shopping experience? And he's like,

00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:04.980
eh, you didn't have any arugula. It's a vegetable.

00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.120
And he's always like, you know, doing this face,

00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:15.089
you know, arugula. Anyways, Steve Martin, he's

00:08:15.089 --> 00:08:18.490
quite the character, man. So after that, we used

00:08:18.490 --> 00:08:22.110
to play games like Pictionary or Trivia. We've

00:08:22.110 --> 00:08:23.970
done that a lot, and it's become quite popular,

00:08:24.029 --> 00:08:26.029
but we didn't do it this past year because we

00:08:26.029 --> 00:08:27.550
had some stuff going on. I think we had to get

00:08:27.550 --> 00:08:30.689
the hell out for some reason. Who hosted? Over

00:08:30.689 --> 00:08:33.570
at Oscar's and Rosemary's house. I assume. Yeah,

00:08:33.570 --> 00:08:36.450
my in -laws. Nice. Yeah, but all in all, it was

00:08:36.450 --> 00:08:39.740
a normal, no... No drama? Drama. It was just

00:08:39.740 --> 00:08:41.899
clean cut. Hey, that's always a bonus. Did the

00:08:41.899 --> 00:08:44.259
children that were in town, did all your kids

00:08:44.259 --> 00:08:47.620
come in town? Preston and Austin? Yeah, they

00:08:47.620 --> 00:08:49.440
were all here. All right, nice. Yeah, they were

00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:51.679
all here, which is great. Super thankful about

00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:55.120
that. Austin's kind of, he's got some depression

00:08:55.120 --> 00:09:00.980
going on. He hasn't quite embraced being alone.

00:09:01.750 --> 00:09:04.269
Not in the house anymore. He's out there, and

00:09:04.269 --> 00:09:06.289
he's kind of like, I don't have any money. I

00:09:06.289 --> 00:09:10.850
don't have this. And I'm like, dude, focus on

00:09:10.850 --> 00:09:13.909
school. And he's depressed because he's not with

00:09:13.909 --> 00:09:15.389
his girlfriend anymore, even though he broke

00:09:15.389 --> 00:09:17.429
up with her, and he realized, oh, man, I fucked

00:09:17.429 --> 00:09:20.149
up. Oh, is he really thinking that? Oh, 100%.

00:09:20.149 --> 00:09:22.470
He's kind of like, yeah, he regrets it. He has

00:09:22.470 --> 00:09:25.129
100 % regret on that. But you know what? It's

00:09:25.129 --> 00:09:28.009
done. So I was like, look. Has she moved on?

00:09:28.549 --> 00:09:31.529
I don't know. Maybe they can rekindle. That's

00:09:31.529 --> 00:09:32.710
what I told him. I was like, look, son, the only

00:09:32.710 --> 00:09:35.149
thing you can do in your life right now is take

00:09:35.149 --> 00:09:39.309
care of your life. Be somebody desirable for

00:09:39.309 --> 00:09:42.710
her to want when you finish up your school. And

00:09:42.710 --> 00:09:44.090
stop fucking around with school because she's

00:09:44.090 --> 00:09:45.490
not going to be there if it's going to take you

00:09:45.490 --> 00:09:48.029
eight years. Lots of people take eight years

00:09:48.029 --> 00:09:50.730
to graduate. Yeah, they're called doctors. Tommy

00:09:50.730 --> 00:09:53.889
boy, right? For the movie Tommy Boy with Chris.

00:09:55.029 --> 00:09:58.789
But I was like, look. Plus, it's expensive the

00:09:58.789 --> 00:10:01.370
longer it takes. Yes. Well, I mean, we're chipping

00:10:01.370 --> 00:10:04.110
away with one class at a time, two classes. What's

00:10:04.110 --> 00:10:06.970
the lodging? Yeah, well, that. Here you go. There

00:10:06.970 --> 00:10:11.740
you go. I'm giving him. time to get his shit

00:10:11.740 --> 00:10:13.720
together. Because I even said, dude, you didn't

00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:15.279
have to go up there this soon. You could have

00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.919
stayed here. I want you to be successful no matter

00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:20.700
what you're doing. I don't want to hinder you.

00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:22.779
I want you to be successful. But you can't do

00:10:22.779 --> 00:10:24.419
it with the lifestyle that you currently have.

00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:26.659
You can't go out and party all the time and think

00:10:26.659 --> 00:10:28.159
that this shit's all honky -dory because it's

00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:30.659
not. It's not. And if you're depressed and you

00:10:30.659 --> 00:10:34.000
need help, I recommend you go to church. And

00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.559
go to a Bible study. Go to something that you

00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:38.639
can go out there and you can put your emotions

00:10:39.340 --> 00:10:42.019
In pause, put your emotions in somebody else's

00:10:42.019 --> 00:10:44.500
hands, even if it's for an hour or two. Just

00:10:44.500 --> 00:10:47.440
get out there and put it out there. And then

00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:50.919
meet people there, congregate with them, and

00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:53.879
get to know them, hang out with them, and be

00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:56.919
part of that community. Because this other community

00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:59.059
that you're hanging out with currently, they're

00:10:59.059 --> 00:11:03.279
Debbie Downers. They may be good people, but

00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.120
they're not taking you in the direction that

00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.220
you need to go to be successful. Surround yourself

00:11:07.220 --> 00:11:08.820
with people that are going to make you successful.

00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.820
And that's what I told him. And then my other

00:11:13.820 --> 00:11:15.679
son, Preston, he called me while the podcast

00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:17.259
started. That's why I got up and walked out for

00:11:17.259 --> 00:11:19.519
the first half. And he said he had a good conversation

00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:23.620
with Austin. And he said that Austin had mentioned

00:11:23.620 --> 00:11:25.559
about going to church. And I was like, well,

00:11:25.580 --> 00:11:27.340
you guys should go to church on Sundays. There's

00:11:27.340 --> 00:11:29.179
no reason why you can't. I was like, look, I

00:11:29.179 --> 00:11:30.740
highly recommend it. You guys are out there by

00:11:30.740 --> 00:11:33.519
yourself. I'm not a big – I used to go to church

00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:36.309
all the time. portion of my life where i used

00:11:36.309 --> 00:11:38.450
to i don't do it anymore because i don't subscribe

00:11:38.450 --> 00:11:41.730
to some of the bullshit that you that they teach

00:11:41.730 --> 00:11:44.450
there and you know because you got to practice

00:11:44.450 --> 00:11:47.009
what you preach and some of these ministers and

00:11:47.009 --> 00:11:48.669
officiants or whatever the hell they're called

00:11:48.669 --> 00:11:52.330
nowadays they're corrupt they don't walk the

00:11:52.330 --> 00:11:54.679
path that they should They're not an example.

00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:59.240
On the front, they're all shiny and they're speaking

00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:03.159
the right words. But behind the scenes, they're

00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:07.039
banging the congregation. There's a lot of weird

00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:10.159
shit going on. I don't know if it's at any specific

00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:12.759
church, but it happens at every church. It does.

00:12:13.139 --> 00:12:15.200
It's just like there's always some weird shit

00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:19.879
going on, some people stealing money. Yeah, people

00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:23.730
aren't perfect. That's for sure. You know, whatever.

00:12:23.889 --> 00:12:26.110
So that's why I don't personally go. But I do

00:12:26.110 --> 00:12:29.629
enjoy going to the Bible studies. I would like

00:12:29.629 --> 00:12:33.950
to get one of those started back up. Yeah. Can't

00:12:33.950 --> 00:12:36.889
hurt. No. I don't think I will. Whatever. So

00:12:36.889 --> 00:12:39.129
anyways, that's how it went. And they all had

00:12:39.129 --> 00:12:41.110
a good time. Good. And now we're in operation,

00:12:41.509 --> 00:12:43.809
you know, get Christmas shit hung up. And even

00:12:43.809 --> 00:12:46.169
though Tara does her things, Tara is such a fantastic

00:12:46.169 --> 00:12:49.049
decorator, you know. So she's already done the

00:12:49.049 --> 00:12:51.820
house. Now I'm going to try to. Put away all

00:12:51.820 --> 00:12:53.559
these freaking Christmas totes because, like

00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:56.279
I said in the first half, I'm trying to organize

00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:59.059
it. I got most of them out, and I have like a

00:12:59.059 --> 00:13:01.179
ton of totes left over because I'm consolidating.

00:13:01.299 --> 00:13:05.159
Plus, I share with you I ordered 16. You're over

00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:07.500
-toted now. You are over -toted. You're an over

00:13:07.500 --> 00:13:09.899
-toter. Amen. So what are you going to do with

00:13:09.899 --> 00:13:11.919
all those totes? Why did you buy the extra ones?

00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:13.679
What are you planning on putting in there? Well,

00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:20.339
we're going to transfer Halloween stuff. and

00:13:20.339 --> 00:13:22.179
Thanksgiving stuff, and we're going to label

00:13:22.179 --> 00:13:25.440
them and put them out in the garage in our new...

00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:27.980
So you're taking them out of old cardboard boxes

00:13:27.980 --> 00:13:30.460
and putting them into these? They're in totes,

00:13:30.460 --> 00:13:34.179
but they're like solid color totes. Oh, so the

00:13:34.179 --> 00:13:36.460
big thing was transparency. Yeah, you can't see

00:13:36.460 --> 00:13:38.259
what's going on in there, and Tara's like, I

00:13:38.259 --> 00:13:39.779
just can't see what's going on. So I was like,

00:13:39.860 --> 00:13:43.700
all right, I'll just get some clear ones. Okay,

00:13:43.860 --> 00:13:45.279
well, that works. Yeah, we're in the process.

00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:46.799
What Julie's been doing, as you can see downstairs,

00:13:46.980 --> 00:13:49.090
she has the table set up. I think she's about

00:13:49.090 --> 00:13:53.370
done, but work came in, right? So she didn't

00:13:53.370 --> 00:13:55.230
finish on Sunday that work. So we'll probably

00:13:55.230 --> 00:13:57.350
finish it this weekend. All the Christmas stuff,

00:13:57.389 --> 00:13:59.090
you mean? Yeah. Yeah, nice. Yeah, we're about

00:13:59.090 --> 00:14:01.549
done. Yeah, I think Shelly did all the inside

00:14:01.549 --> 00:14:04.330
stuff. I haven't done the outside stuff. I want

00:14:04.330 --> 00:14:07.450
to because I do the gate. You know what I mean?

00:14:07.750 --> 00:14:09.610
Put the lights around the gate with the wreath.

00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:13.100
And you do it so that it can open and close.

00:14:13.379 --> 00:14:15.580
Oh, yeah. And the wreath closes. You know, it's

00:14:15.580 --> 00:14:17.700
kind of cool looking. They have that and the

00:14:17.700 --> 00:14:19.840
big wreath in the front. So, I mean, I'm getting

00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:23.759
older, so that stuff isn't fun as much anymore.

00:14:24.139 --> 00:14:25.639
You can't climb the roots of trees and shit.

00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:29.360
I know, I know. I hired... um steve your son

00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:32.240
and logan uh last year to put the lights up on

00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:35.019
the house and uh they ran a side business where

00:14:35.019 --> 00:14:37.480
they were making some extra money yeah and they

00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:39.279
can make good money doing that too they custom

00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:43.679
made the little uh lengths and so they go very

00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:47.240
specific places yeah and uh man i'll tell you

00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:49.379
what i took those things down myself last year

00:14:49.379 --> 00:14:52.720
and i put them in totes And I labeled the totes

00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:55.360
exactly what they were and where they went, east

00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:58.879
side, up, et cetera. And man, it was fantastic.

00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:02.580
Logan showed up and put them up this year. Oh,

00:15:02.659 --> 00:15:06.539
okay. And they're up and done. Okay. I was waiting

00:15:06.539 --> 00:15:09.679
for the what went wrong side of the story. Well,

00:15:09.740 --> 00:15:11.659
I mean, there's two things that did go wrong.

00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:15.860
Number one, evidently when we broke down the

00:15:15.860 --> 00:15:17.519
lights last year, there was an extension cord

00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:20.840
that was still there. And unbeknownst to me,

00:15:20.899 --> 00:15:22.580
they took the extension cord that was still there,

00:15:22.659 --> 00:15:24.399
and they plugged it in. When they plugged it

00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:28.360
in, something fried in my line. So there's a

00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:32.019
receptacle on the east side of my little stone

00:15:32.019 --> 00:15:35.360
circle that no longer works. Oh, no. But there's

00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:38.460
only one power line that runs from the house

00:15:38.460 --> 00:15:42.679
to that circuit, to those set of plugs. So all

00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:44.679
of them work except for that one. That's weird.

00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:47.500
It is weird. So I got to figure out what's going

00:15:47.500 --> 00:15:49.799
on. You just replaced the plug, right? The plug

00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:53.519
is fine. It popped somewhere else because he

00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:55.419
says, oh, I heard the pop coming from over here.

00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:59.320
And there's some steps. You remember the little

00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:02.080
light I have and there's steps going up there?

00:16:02.259 --> 00:16:04.220
There's a light right there. Well, that's a junction

00:16:04.220 --> 00:16:07.639
also. He said he heard the pop there. So I don't

00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:09.399
know. We'll have to figure it out. I'm still

00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:11.779
kind of curious. I heard the pop over here. I

00:16:11.779 --> 00:16:16.240
forgot Logan's dad was there. Oh, you think he

00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:18.000
sounds like that, huh? No, he absolutely does

00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:20.639
not sound like that, but it sounds better when

00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:23.419
I make him sound like that. It's better for the

00:16:23.419 --> 00:16:25.490
story. He's called Philip, right? Yeah, he's

00:16:25.490 --> 00:16:29.710
Philip. Yeah, I let him come in, and I was showing

00:16:29.710 --> 00:16:31.730
him the whiskey. He goes, oh, this is great.

00:16:31.990 --> 00:16:35.429
And I was like, do you like sweet stuff? Have

00:16:35.429 --> 00:16:38.269
you tried the Zamperano stuff? I was like, check

00:16:38.269 --> 00:16:40.370
out the stave I put in this Weller's bottle over

00:16:40.370 --> 00:16:43.490
here. I said, would you like to sample it? I'm

00:16:43.490 --> 00:16:46.769
fucking over the top. He's a maniac, man. Back

00:16:46.769 --> 00:16:49.009
in the day when they all played basketball together

00:16:49.009 --> 00:16:52.610
and they had parties, he is an absolute maniac.

00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:55.399
It's crazy. Go on. What do you mean? Like, just

00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:58.759
having fun drinking? When he had, you know, at

00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:00.779
the end of the night type of thing, I mean, he

00:17:00.779 --> 00:17:03.940
did it out of control. Wrestling and throwing

00:17:03.940 --> 00:17:06.819
people around in the pool. Just, he's a maniac,

00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:10.640
man. You know what? I went to, I can't remember

00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:13.819
where I went. Went to a happy hour with my wife

00:17:13.819 --> 00:17:16.460
and Andrea and Tim. It was about a month ago.

00:17:17.539 --> 00:17:19.579
The snobbery of bourbon, you know, how we're

00:17:19.579 --> 00:17:22.119
not trying to be the snobs. I ordered, it was

00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:25.400
50 % off Happy Hour, off all their drinks. So

00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:29.259
they had two tiers of old -fashioned. One with

00:17:29.259 --> 00:17:34.339
a, I think it was a Knob Creek 18 or something

00:17:34.339 --> 00:17:36.960
like that. Single barrel, specifically picked

00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:40.059
for the restaurant. It was like 126 proof. So

00:17:40.059 --> 00:17:42.299
I was like, well, if it's half off, that makes

00:17:42.299 --> 00:17:43.859
it like seven bucks or something like that. Yeah,

00:17:43.859 --> 00:17:45.279
nothing wrong with that. You know, I'll take

00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:47.779
that one. And then the regular one was like old

00:17:47.779 --> 00:17:51.000
granddad. And they brought it to me, but they

00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:54.220
looked identical because Tim got the other one.

00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:57.000
And I sipped it. I was like, that's not 126 proof.

00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:01.019
So I questioned it. Ooh. I was like, did you

00:18:01.019 --> 00:18:03.460
use the, I can't remember what it was, the Knob

00:18:03.460 --> 00:18:06.759
Creek or whatever it was. Yeah. 126 proof. And

00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:08.920
he goes, yeah. He goes, yeah, you ordered the

00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:10.700
whatever, whatever. And he ran over to the bar.

00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:12.339
He goes, did you use the, he was like, yeah,

00:18:12.339 --> 00:18:14.769
I use it. He's like, all right. You're like,

00:18:14.829 --> 00:18:17.309
bullshit. I was like, this doesn't taste like

00:18:17.309 --> 00:18:21.269
126 proof bourbon to me. You said that? Yes.

00:18:21.589 --> 00:18:23.150
And then what happened? They're like, well, I'm

00:18:23.150 --> 00:18:25.250
sorry. Let me make you another one. No, they're

00:18:25.250 --> 00:18:26.690
just like, I could have said that amongst us.

00:18:27.369 --> 00:18:30.910
And, you know, it's just like, I'm just being

00:18:30.910 --> 00:18:34.529
a stupid ass snob, bourbon dipshit. So I'm just

00:18:34.529 --> 00:18:36.329
going to drink my thing and it'll seven bucks

00:18:36.329 --> 00:18:37.970
or whatever. Right, right, right. You should

00:18:37.970 --> 00:18:39.970
order another one and just say, hey, I want the

00:18:39.970 --> 00:18:43.349
Knob Creek, whatever it is. And I want to watch

00:18:43.349 --> 00:18:47.900
it for it. But don't add anything else. Just

00:18:47.900 --> 00:18:50.920
the bourbon only. That was a good old -fashioned.

00:18:51.140 --> 00:18:53.319
Yeah, then you would have known. All that sugar.

00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:56.299
Yeah, it wasn't super sweet. Damn, I could...

00:18:56.299 --> 00:19:00.279
That's the problem. I would enjoy it. What? And

00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:01.980
then I would enjoy another one. Oh, yeah, well...

00:19:01.980 --> 00:19:03.019
And then I would enjoy another one. They're super

00:19:03.019 --> 00:19:05.140
sweet. And another one. And another one. So we,

00:19:05.220 --> 00:19:08.180
on Aggie Night, we did that. Well, you did...

00:19:08.180 --> 00:19:10.140
I don't think you had any, did you? Yeah, I don't

00:19:10.140 --> 00:19:12.720
like the smoky... Yeah, so Shelly bought me that

00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:15.079
kit, right, where you put the little, you know.

00:19:15.180 --> 00:19:17.619
Oh, and you smoke it? You smoke it, and the smoke

00:19:17.619 --> 00:19:19.720
goes down into the glass, and then you add the

00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:23.220
rest of it. And do you remember, where were we

00:19:23.220 --> 00:19:26.519
when we bought that maple and bacon? Oh, yeah,

00:19:26.660 --> 00:19:28.819
the syrup stuff. Simple syrup. Did you use it?

00:19:28.900 --> 00:19:31.160
I used it. Oh, great. Did it taste good? I used

00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:33.779
the whole thing. And because I was making old

00:19:33.779 --> 00:19:36.960
fashions for everybody, for Danny and his father

00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:39.500
and Dylan and myself and Dawson. You made one

00:19:39.500 --> 00:19:41.900
for Kim. May one for Kim. And then she didn't

00:19:41.900 --> 00:19:43.119
drink half of it. She goes, you want the rest?

00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:45.640
I said, sure. Oh, I didn't know that. And what'd

00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.460
you think? It was good. Yeah. I mean, the ice

00:19:48.460 --> 00:19:50.920
had melted all through it. It's kind of like

00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:53.920
the end of its life. How's the maple bacon taste,

00:19:53.940 --> 00:19:56.619
though? It was good. It was really good. But

00:19:56.619 --> 00:20:00.200
here's the thing. I used Buffalo Trace. Oh, yeah.

00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:03.380
And it was fine. And I used just about the whole

00:20:03.380 --> 00:20:06.839
bottle. And then, you know, I was like, you know,

00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:10.599
two drinks. No, I'm like. Seven or eight. Yeah,

00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:13.599
nine of them. And used a whole bottle of nine

00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:16.119
drinks? Just about. I mean, while I was pouring

00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:20.660
it. I mean, I used a shot glass. And I think

00:20:20.660 --> 00:20:22.740
they were two ounce pours, right? Sure, yeah.

00:20:22.940 --> 00:20:25.660
I don't remember. But anyway, so then I was like,

00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:27.180
you know what? I'm going to pause on that because

00:20:27.180 --> 00:20:29.859
I'm not sure you're supposed to use sippers for,

00:20:29.980 --> 00:20:32.039
I don't know if Buffalo Trace. Buffalo Trace

00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:33.940
is a good old -fashioned bourbon. Right. And

00:20:33.940 --> 00:20:37.220
so I switched to, I was going to try other bourbons,

00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:39.470
right? See if it makes a big difference. And

00:20:39.470 --> 00:20:41.890
you know what the best tasting one was? Henry

00:20:41.890 --> 00:20:45.589
McKenna. Yeah. And here I was using, you know,

00:20:45.670 --> 00:20:48.549
nicer bourbon and I tried. Well, at this point

00:20:48.549 --> 00:20:51.109
right now, it's probably, Henry McKenna may be

00:20:51.109 --> 00:20:54.769
just as much. Yeah. I mean. Oh, then Buffalo

00:20:54.769 --> 00:20:57.450
Trace? Buffalo Trace is like 22 bucks a bottle.

00:20:57.609 --> 00:21:00.269
Yeah, but not for a half gallon. Buffalo Trace,

00:21:00.269 --> 00:21:02.490
can you? Oh, well, it's probably true. I don't

00:21:02.490 --> 00:21:05.680
know. The price point is definitely not the same.

00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:09.359
I think the half gallon is $40 for the handle.

00:21:10.500 --> 00:21:13.440
Henry McKenna was great in an old -fashioned.

00:21:14.099 --> 00:21:17.519
I guess what I'm trying to say is use mixers,

00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:20.559
not sippers for old -fashions. Is that a true

00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:24.019
statement? I think some bourbons lend itself

00:21:24.019 --> 00:21:26.400
better. I wouldn't use Jack Daniels in an old

00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:30.680
-fashioned, I don't think. I don't know. I use

00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:32.970
early times. That's what I use downstairs when

00:21:32.970 --> 00:21:35.670
I make myself one. Yeah. And I use Woodford Reserve,

00:21:35.789 --> 00:21:37.890
and it was okay. It was not as good as Henry

00:21:37.890 --> 00:21:40.410
McKenna, and that's a good bourbon. I guess it

00:21:40.410 --> 00:21:43.769
really depends on what you're mixing into it.

00:21:43.890 --> 00:21:45.990
I mean, there are some old -fashioned lights,

00:21:46.210 --> 00:21:51.049
meaning you can lightly season it with some old

00:21:51.049 --> 00:21:53.609
-fashioned mix, or you can heavily season it

00:21:53.609 --> 00:21:56.289
with some old -fashioned. I prefer the latter.

00:21:56.450 --> 00:21:59.049
I mean, I want mine a little bit stronger. I

00:21:59.049 --> 00:22:01.609
would really like that strong 126 proof one.

00:22:01.829 --> 00:22:04.789
I would. That was good. And it's not a snob.

00:22:04.950 --> 00:22:06.549
I mean, if you want your steak cooked medium

00:22:06.549 --> 00:22:09.150
rare, and it comes to your table medium well,

00:22:09.450 --> 00:22:12.109
I mean, would you send it back? Well, I did get

00:22:12.109 --> 00:22:14.289
the standard old -fashioned next, and there was

00:22:14.289 --> 00:22:16.609
a difference after that. So I was like, I just

00:22:16.609 --> 00:22:19.609
think my palate is, I was expecting more heat.

00:22:19.789 --> 00:22:21.369
And you're not going to get that mixed with sugar.

00:22:21.630 --> 00:22:23.589
Well, that, and I was just like. And it was probably

00:22:23.589 --> 00:22:26.349
watered down. And I was just like. I can handle

00:22:26.349 --> 00:22:29.650
126 proof that easily? Yeah. That's what I was

00:22:29.650 --> 00:22:31.589
thinking to myself at some point. So I was like,

00:22:31.650 --> 00:22:33.049
all right, I'm just going to keep my mouth shut

00:22:33.049 --> 00:22:35.210
because I can drink this shit that easy. Yeah,

00:22:35.230 --> 00:22:38.210
you can drink it straight without any issue at

00:22:38.210 --> 00:22:40.529
all. And then you add the orange and the sugar

00:22:40.529 --> 00:22:42.329
and all that shit to it. I mean, the thing is,

00:22:42.329 --> 00:22:45.029
we're real men now. That's right. Our balls dropped.

00:22:45.269 --> 00:22:47.549
Yeah, we're real men, finally. Why am I hanging

00:22:47.549 --> 00:22:51.250
down my leg here? Oh, God. I mean, really, that's

00:22:51.250 --> 00:22:52.789
part of the thing that older guys have to get

00:22:52.789 --> 00:22:54.609
through, man. It's just like, geez. What, saggy

00:22:54.609 --> 00:22:58.549
nuts? Yeah, it's horrific. Saggy scrute? Seriously,

00:22:59.869 --> 00:23:06.130
I have to purposely be cautious when I sit down.

00:23:07.269 --> 00:23:08.890
It's kind of like, I don't know what's going

00:23:08.890 --> 00:23:12.089
to happen. Might get pinched? Yes. Like it's

00:23:12.089 --> 00:23:15.910
under your thigh? Well, I don't know exactly

00:23:15.910 --> 00:23:18.069
where it's at, but it's in a place where it could

00:23:18.069 --> 00:23:22.799
be pinched. You ever take a marble and pinch

00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:25.160
it with your fingers and it shoots out? That's

00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:29.200
what happens when I sit on it. God. Speaking

00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:32.740
of disgusting things like that, have you heard

00:23:32.740 --> 00:23:36.359
the latest on what Greta Thunberg did? No. Was

00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:43.519
she naked? Penthouse? She was in Venice. She

00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:46.839
was in Venice. And she's part of some... group

00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:49.619
that's protesting something. I don't even know

00:23:49.619 --> 00:23:51.140
what they put. She moves from thing to thing.

00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:56.220
I know. So they dumped non, she swears it was

00:23:56.220 --> 00:23:59.059
non -toxic. Where was she at? In Venice. And

00:23:59.059 --> 00:24:04.599
they dumped green stuff in the water. For what

00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:07.119
was the reasoning? There. There's the picture

00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:12.000
right there. She's been banned from Venice. Look

00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:14.039
at the picture, Sean. Is it St. Patrick's Day?

00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:17.920
No. Like the Chicago River? Nope. What is the

00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:21.740
point they were trying to make? It was, let's

00:24:21.740 --> 00:24:24.480
see here. The group aimed to highlight the world's

00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:27.099
slow transition away from fossil fuels and hung

00:24:27.099 --> 00:24:31.180
a banner on the Rialto Bridge that read, Stop

00:24:31.180 --> 00:24:35.180
Ecocide. Yep. And she pours that shit into the

00:24:35.180 --> 00:24:37.420
water. Yes. And she's like, well, no, it's non

00:24:37.420 --> 00:24:39.740
-toxic and this and that. And they're saying

00:24:39.740 --> 00:24:42.299
it cost, scroll back up, what was the damage

00:24:42.299 --> 00:24:45.960
it cost? It caused, I can't read that. It caused

00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:48.119
lasting damage to the UNESCO site. Lasting damage.

00:24:48.180 --> 00:24:52.119
Nice. Nice. And that wasn't the only city. Apparently,

00:24:52.140 --> 00:24:55.500
they bombed, like, with the dump this stuff in

00:24:55.500 --> 00:24:57.220
the water and did it. How much did they dump

00:24:57.220 --> 00:24:58.880
in the water? I know. Look at that. It's incredibly

00:24:58.880 --> 00:25:03.819
green. It's bad. Yeah, it's bad. And they're

00:25:03.819 --> 00:25:05.839
not happy about it at all. And it happened in

00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:08.099
multiple cities throughout Europe, I think, in

00:25:08.099 --> 00:25:11.650
a coordinated protest. I don't understand what

00:25:11.650 --> 00:25:14.950
she's trying to prove here. What did you read

00:25:14.950 --> 00:25:17.750
again? What's the group? The group that's protesting?

00:25:19.210 --> 00:25:23.329
Anus. That's what I call them. What's that stand

00:25:23.329 --> 00:25:26.789
for, Jeff? Fucktards. The association of... The

00:25:26.789 --> 00:25:29.869
group aimed to highlight the world's slow transition

00:25:29.869 --> 00:25:32.890
away from fossil fuels and hung a banner on the

00:25:32.890 --> 00:25:37.880
Rialto Bridge that read Stop Eco Side. While

00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:40.400
she destroys water and everything that lives

00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:43.099
in it? It says the group used a non -toxic for

00:25:43.099 --> 00:25:46.019
a stop ecosystem. It doesn't say what the group

00:25:46.019 --> 00:25:50.680
was, though. Similar Die releases targeted waterways

00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:53.700
in at least 10 Italian cities, including blah,

00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:57.180
blah, blah, blah, blah. Massive effects of climate

00:25:57.180 --> 00:25:59.740
collapse is what they're protesting to symbolize

00:25:59.740 --> 00:26:04.220
that. The whole climate. change thing has been...

00:26:04.220 --> 00:26:06.400
It's falling apart. Yes. They're arguing. She's

00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:09.200
a nut. And you know what? Look, she... She may

00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:11.779
have just destroyed whatever cause she was going

00:26:11.779 --> 00:26:13.319
for. She did. This is fucking idiotic. She's

00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:16.000
constantly... She's like... They give it to her.

00:26:16.180 --> 00:26:17.759
And they're kind of like... And she'll take it.

00:26:18.220 --> 00:26:19.839
And... They're trying to recruit her because

00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:22.059
she's a great spokesman, right? She's not. Is

00:26:22.059 --> 00:26:24.180
she? Well, I mean, she's well -known is what

00:26:24.180 --> 00:26:25.200
I'm saying. They're kind of like, well, people...

00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:26.859
Yeah, that's the only thing is she's well -known,

00:26:26.859 --> 00:26:29.400
but she's really well -known for her... Her...

00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:33.339
It was idiocy, you know? It's just... I mean,

00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:35.660
it was a noble effort when she went on there

00:26:35.660 --> 00:26:37.859
when she was 15 years old and she was kind of

00:26:37.859 --> 00:26:42.380
like, you know. How dare you? How dare you? Shame.

00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:47.079
And, you know, it almost seemed like fair. You

00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:48.960
know, from her perspective, it almost seemed

00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:51.160
fair. All right, look, this is the way she feels.

00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:53.480
And she's sincerely upset about this. Genuinely

00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:59.099
upset. Oh, God. See, does that help their cause?

00:26:59.299 --> 00:27:03.839
No. To have people wander around in. When Handmaid's

00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:06.220
Tale. That's what it looked like. What the hell?

00:27:06.500 --> 00:27:13.039
So the oceans and river of Venice turned green.

00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:16.039
I mean, that is a bright green. Yes. I wonder

00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:19.119
how long that's going to last. 3 ,000 a year,

00:27:19.140 --> 00:27:23.119
half life. Yeah. I mean, look, it's amazing on

00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:27.640
the. Insane. What's the little flag? I don't

00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:31.900
know. Looks like a sickle in this guy. Those

00:27:31.900 --> 00:27:35.859
are traditional climate czars. They're just idiots.

00:27:36.220 --> 00:27:38.339
What the hell? Okay, well, at least that last

00:27:38.339 --> 00:27:40.519
picture showed where they dumped it. And I guess

00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:42.299
over time, yeah, it's going to go everywhere.

00:27:43.099 --> 00:27:46.420
How can it not harm the fish, right? Or anything

00:27:46.420 --> 00:27:48.880
growing in there? It's just awful. It's not toxic.

00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:53.299
Yeah. How do they know? Did you test this out?

00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:57.839
Yeah. So, Greta Thunberg, you know, it's funny

00:27:57.839 --> 00:27:59.319
because you see these memes all the time where

00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:02.619
she actually looks quasi. Good looking. No. But

00:28:02.619 --> 00:28:04.480
no. I'm going to disagree on that. They've doctored

00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:07.460
those. Yeah. The doctored ones look fantastic.

00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:12.460
The doctored ones? Yeah. The ones that accentuate

00:28:12.460 --> 00:28:16.240
certain body parts? But she does have an air

00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:18.500
of Down syndrome -esque look, you know? Oh, okay.

00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:22.180
That's harsh. Hold on. Look at her. She does.

00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:26.720
She's got the kind of look. Yeah. I don't know.

00:28:26.819 --> 00:28:29.500
I think she's... Thinking she's doing the noble

00:28:29.500 --> 00:28:32.039
thing and she's very misguided because she probably

00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:35.579
doesn't know the facts, right? She's ignorant

00:28:35.579 --> 00:28:39.200
probably of a lot of things. But she's very idealistic.

00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:41.900
And I think at that age, a lot of people are,

00:28:41.980 --> 00:28:43.599
right? They want to change the world and then

00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:45.380
they grow up and realize. Well, I think she's

00:28:45.380 --> 00:28:47.700
opportunistic because she changes because her

00:28:47.700 --> 00:28:49.779
whole climate thing kind of started falling apart.

00:28:50.079 --> 00:28:54.859
Then she hopped on the Gaza -Palestine thing.

00:28:55.140 --> 00:28:58.390
Oh, that was a nut. Kind of resolved itself,

00:28:58.529 --> 00:29:01.569
so now she's moving on to killing ecosystems,

00:29:01.630 --> 00:29:09.269
which she apparently contributed to. Yeah. While

00:29:09.269 --> 00:29:10.970
dressing up like, I don't even know what the

00:29:10.970 --> 00:29:14.170
fuck that is, vampires. Yeah, I don't know. What

00:29:14.170 --> 00:29:16.430
is up with that red outfit? They got some interesting

00:29:16.430 --> 00:29:19.450
symbols there. That's very Handmaid's Tale -ish.

00:29:19.730 --> 00:29:22.349
I don't care. I really don't care. And you know

00:29:22.349 --> 00:29:25.220
what? There was like 35 other protesters that

00:29:25.220 --> 00:29:29.099
were also fined for the disrespectful act and

00:29:29.099 --> 00:29:33.700
banned. Good. Good to go. I wonder how they stop

00:29:33.700 --> 00:29:36.799
you when you're banned from a city. Do they have

00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:38.839
face recognition to when you're at the border?

00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:42.339
They're like, stop. Is she banned from Venice

00:29:42.339 --> 00:29:45.420
or from Italy? I think Venice. Yeah, Venice.

00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:48.740
So they were fined. Thunberg and other protesters

00:29:48.740 --> 00:29:54.029
received a 48 -hour ban from Venice. Really?

00:29:54.029 --> 00:29:57.009
Get out. Don't come back until Monday. Yeah,

00:29:57.049 --> 00:29:58.869
get out before we kill you. Go to your room and

00:29:58.869 --> 00:30:01.569
don't come back until later. And they do that

00:30:01.569 --> 00:30:03.650
at ball games too, right? Stand in the corner.

00:30:03.950 --> 00:30:05.829
Like football games, people will get banned from

00:30:05.829 --> 00:30:07.930
a football game or from a Mavericks game or something.

00:30:08.109 --> 00:30:10.470
You're never allowed back. Or a high school game.

00:30:10.809 --> 00:30:13.109
How do they... That sounds personal. I don't

00:30:13.109 --> 00:30:15.369
think they do high school games. Oh, we weren't

00:30:15.369 --> 00:30:16.630
kicked out? I don't know. How would they know

00:30:16.630 --> 00:30:18.829
that if you... I've been kicked out of a game,

00:30:18.849 --> 00:30:21.369
but I was never banned for life. I'm talking

00:30:21.369 --> 00:30:24.970
about like as a... As a spectator. That's not

00:30:24.970 --> 00:30:27.490
me. Oh. You've been kicked out of a game. I was

00:30:27.490 --> 00:30:28.910
kicked out of a game. Well, we went to a game

00:30:28.910 --> 00:30:30.470
with you, Jeff. We met you there. Oh, that's

00:30:30.470 --> 00:30:33.450
right. And Paul was acting up. Oh, stop. Cobb

00:30:33.450 --> 00:30:35.890
was kind of like, you guys got to go. He's like,

00:30:35.950 --> 00:30:37.990
but we didn't do anything wrong. We didn't do

00:30:37.990 --> 00:30:39.750
anything wrong. Oh, you're talking about the,

00:30:39.869 --> 00:30:42.170
yes, you're talking about that. That's where

00:30:42.170 --> 00:30:44.930
you got into it with other spectators. Now, I

00:30:44.930 --> 00:30:48.470
just said something. Yes, something offensive.

00:30:49.490 --> 00:30:51.470
Well, was it really, though? I don't remember

00:30:51.470 --> 00:30:53.990
what you said, but they found it offensive. Yeah,

00:30:54.009 --> 00:30:55.869
well, it was. And they were very country bumpkin

00:30:55.869 --> 00:30:58.589
-ish. Yeah, it was like a banjo. Ding, ding,

00:30:58.589 --> 00:31:00.329
ding, ding, ding, ding. And I remember this guy

00:31:00.329 --> 00:31:02.289
stood up. He was in overalls. He was like, hey,

00:31:02.369 --> 00:31:06.329
Paul. Yeah. What did you say? I wasn't going

00:31:06.329 --> 00:31:09.049
to let you say that. Yeah, that was nuts. Whatever,

00:31:09.309 --> 00:31:11.309
man. We were kind of asked to leave. That was

00:31:11.309 --> 00:31:14.660
at the playoff game. That was the day that the

00:31:14.660 --> 00:31:16.799
guy was going to shoot up the place. They did.

00:31:16.900 --> 00:31:19.880
They found a dude in a car with a whole bunch

00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:21.960
of weapons and a whole bunch of bullets, and

00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:23.599
they asked him, like, hey, what are you doing?

00:31:23.740 --> 00:31:26.359
At that game. At that game. Yeah, that was the.

00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:29.059
That's crazy. That's the one we left early. That

00:31:29.059 --> 00:31:31.359
was the playoff game that Brandon played in,

00:31:31.380 --> 00:31:34.059
McKinney North and Centennial Titans. Terrifying.

00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:36.440
Yeah. That literally was a guy that was contemplating

00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:39.119
doing something. Well, they just caught the guy.

00:31:40.639 --> 00:31:43.460
In Fort Worth, he was planning to bomb Fort Worth.

00:31:43.700 --> 00:31:45.759
Yeah, doing some TikToks, doing some threats.

00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:47.819
And you know what he's classified as, how they

00:31:47.819 --> 00:31:51.519
arrested him? As a white man. A white man? Yes.

00:31:52.460 --> 00:31:55.039
He's not white at all. He wasn't white? That's

00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:57.420
how he was arrested. Oh, he identified. Well,

00:31:57.440 --> 00:31:59.539
no, that's what the police identified him as.

00:31:59.740 --> 00:32:02.140
They didn't call him a Fort Worth father or something?

00:32:02.420 --> 00:32:05.220
No. Just a white man. White man. You know what

00:32:05.220 --> 00:32:07.240
I'm thinking, though? But he's from Afghanistan.

00:32:07.500 --> 00:32:09.960
Yeah. And so was the other guy that shot the

00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:12.640
two National Guards. Well, if you look how that's,

00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:16.519
because I went deep into Grok once on that whole

00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:19.839
thing on what's considered white, what's considered

00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:21.680
African -American, what's considered this, what's

00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:26.000
considered that. Interesting. And it says, well,

00:32:26.259 --> 00:32:30.059
I was like, but, you know, why isn't a South

00:32:30.059 --> 00:32:31.980
African white person considered African -American?

00:32:32.740 --> 00:32:34.579
And it went into the whole black thing. I was

00:32:34.579 --> 00:32:36.380
like, well, what about people from Barbados?

00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:39.200
Can they classify as? I was asking all these

00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:41.099
questions. Like, well, no. I was like, well,

00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:43.079
then how do you distinguish? You know, everyone

00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:45.099
calls themselves African -Americans. And they're

00:32:45.099 --> 00:32:46.900
like, well, you found them. You know, started

00:32:46.900 --> 00:32:49.960
going down the hypocrisy of all of this and the

00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:54.240
social craziness of all of this and the culturalness

00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:56.180
of all this. And I was like, well, what about

00:32:56.180 --> 00:32:59.440
Egyptians? Well, they're classified as white.

00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:01.789
He's like, yes, you're correct. But they're from

00:33:01.789 --> 00:33:05.569
Africa, right? Yes. And I was like, yes. That's

00:33:05.569 --> 00:33:08.569
another problem in this whole discussion is Egyptians

00:33:08.569 --> 00:33:11.289
are considered white. Was it acknowledging that

00:33:11.289 --> 00:33:13.410
there was inconsistency in how it was confusing?

00:33:13.630 --> 00:33:15.730
Oh, okay. It wasn't fighting you the whole time?

00:33:15.849 --> 00:33:18.390
No, but it didn't. At first, it spelled out.

00:33:18.450 --> 00:33:19.690
Then I started asking the questions. They're

00:33:19.690 --> 00:33:22.730
like, oh, yes, you're correct. You're pointing

00:33:22.730 --> 00:33:25.970
out some of the hypocrisy and the discrepancies

00:33:25.970 --> 00:33:28.930
in all of these classifications. Yeah, that's

00:33:28.930 --> 00:33:31.440
all bullshit. I'll see if I can find it because

00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:34.519
it saves some of the chats. By the way, this

00:33:34.519 --> 00:33:36.759
whiskey that I'm not going to talk about is fantastic.

00:33:36.859 --> 00:33:42.539
It is really good. Yes, I agree. I agree. All

00:33:42.539 --> 00:33:44.180
right, so speaking of it, do we want to talk

00:33:44.180 --> 00:33:47.240
about the crazy guy that climbed into the lion

00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:50.000
pit? Did you hear about that? I haven't heard

00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:52.099
a whole lot. I heard you talk about it, but was

00:33:52.099 --> 00:33:54.859
the kid autistic or something? No, so it was

00:33:54.859 --> 00:33:58.200
a dude that had mental illness, and his mom apparently

00:33:58.200 --> 00:34:03.740
said he was. had schizophrenia, and his whole

00:34:03.740 --> 00:34:07.759
life wanted to be a lion tamer. As a matter of

00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:10.519
fact, he even crawled into the wheel well of

00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:14.500
an aircraft because he wanted the airplane to

00:34:14.500 --> 00:34:17.880
take him to Africa so that he could be a lion

00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:20.539
tamer. So I forget what country this was in.

00:34:20.579 --> 00:34:22.519
Does it say what country? Brazil. Oh, it's in

00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:27.360
Brazil. So he, yeah, with visitors there, like

00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:30.590
zoo visitors. People watching, he climbed into

00:34:30.590 --> 00:34:32.590
the... Hold on, let's put this in perspective.

00:34:32.730 --> 00:34:36.690
He scaled a 20 -foot wall enclosure. Yes. Yes.

00:34:36.849 --> 00:34:40.170
He had to really work at getting into... Yeah,

00:34:40.190 --> 00:34:43.630
there's a video of it. Chuck's showing it right

00:34:43.630 --> 00:34:49.550
now. And so the lioness is watching him, yeah,

00:34:49.730 --> 00:34:52.449
runs over there and is watching him come down,

00:34:52.489 --> 00:34:56.989
scaling this tree after coming down from off

00:34:56.989 --> 00:35:00.320
the wall. Oh, my gosh. And immediately. This

00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:01.780
is not going to end well. That pulls him down,

00:35:01.860 --> 00:35:03.940
I think. And immediately attacks him. Yeah, right

00:35:03.940 --> 00:35:06.179
there. Pulls him down. Yeah, immediately attacks

00:35:06.179 --> 00:35:08.940
him. And then people are horrified. And then

00:35:08.940 --> 00:35:11.280
you see him try to run from the lioness. And

00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:15.099
he runs behind the bushes or the hedges and gets

00:35:15.099 --> 00:35:17.260
mauled to death where they can't see him, luckily.

00:35:17.820 --> 00:35:20.500
Oh, thank God. And it's all on video right here.

00:35:20.539 --> 00:35:23.380
You can't see him getting mauled, but people

00:35:23.380 --> 00:35:26.849
are, like, freaking out. Yeah, he's being killed,

00:35:26.969 --> 00:35:29.590
right? He's being eaten right there. Probably

00:35:29.590 --> 00:35:32.469
because his lion's killed by grabbing the neck.

00:35:32.750 --> 00:35:34.750
Oh, and choking you out. Choking him out, yeah.

00:35:35.650 --> 00:35:38.750
That's probably what he did. And like I said,

00:35:38.829 --> 00:35:42.050
he was mentally ill. Do you think the mom did

00:35:42.050 --> 00:35:43.289
that on purpose, knowing that he was going to

00:35:43.289 --> 00:35:46.789
do that? Oh, no. The guy's an adult. Yeah, but

00:35:46.789 --> 00:35:49.230
he's obviously not a normal adult, but is he

00:35:49.230 --> 00:35:53.090
one of these folks that need life assistance?

00:35:54.319 --> 00:35:56.960
I don't know, but I don't think the mom was with

00:35:56.960 --> 00:36:00.179
him. I see. You know what I mean? I don't know.

00:36:00.219 --> 00:36:02.460
Maybe he ran away from her and jumped into the

00:36:02.460 --> 00:36:05.019
pit or crawled down this thing. I don't really

00:36:05.019 --> 00:36:08.780
know. Anyway, sad story, but luckily they didn't

00:36:08.780 --> 00:36:11.079
punish the lioness. Usually when this kind of

00:36:11.079 --> 00:36:13.199
stuff happens, they have to put the animal down

00:36:13.199 --> 00:36:16.019
or whatever, and under no circumstances were

00:36:16.019 --> 00:36:17.639
they going to put her down because she did nothing

00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:20.679
wrong. She basically was doing her... Being a

00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:26.829
lion. Yes, she was doing her instinctual thing.

00:36:27.010 --> 00:36:29.489
And who knows if she—oh, God, look at the lioness.

00:36:29.489 --> 00:36:31.730
Got blood all over her. So the Arruda Camaro

00:36:31.730 --> 00:36:35.929
Park is in solidarity with the family of the

00:36:35.929 --> 00:36:38.750
boy who was passed away, deeply regrets the loss,

00:36:38.809 --> 00:36:42.170
and wishes strength at this difficult time. The

00:36:42.170 --> 00:36:44.409
news thing lasts. The zoo's security team allegedly

00:36:44.409 --> 00:36:46.949
attempted to stop the guy as he climbed into

00:36:46.949 --> 00:36:49.230
the lion's enclosures, but he moved too quickly.

00:36:50.319 --> 00:36:52.960
And, of course, it didn't end well. I tell you

00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:55.159
what, it didn't take long. The lioness ran over

00:36:55.159 --> 00:36:58.900
there immediately and, you know, put an end to

00:36:58.900 --> 00:37:01.440
this craziness. So, anyway, I feel bad for the

00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:04.039
mentally ill kid. That'd be a horrible experience

00:37:04.039 --> 00:37:06.940
to go through the last minute of your life or

00:37:06.940 --> 00:37:09.199
however long it took, right? Being eaten to death,

00:37:09.340 --> 00:37:12.420
yeah. You know, the brain is amazing, though.

00:37:12.860 --> 00:37:17.800
You know, it's just like it probably just shut

00:37:17.800 --> 00:37:20.630
off. I hope so. I don't think it did. He was

00:37:20.630 --> 00:37:23.309
probably in excruciating pain. I'd like to think

00:37:23.309 --> 00:37:28.010
that. In his final seconds. Crazy. So I'm very

00:37:28.010 --> 00:37:29.510
thankful that they don't have video of that.

00:37:30.449 --> 00:37:32.530
Yeah, of him actually being attacked. Yeah, because

00:37:32.530 --> 00:37:34.409
that would just have been horrific to see. I

00:37:34.409 --> 00:37:36.250
wouldn't want to have that in my memory. And

00:37:36.250 --> 00:37:38.070
you know damn well someone would have videoed

00:37:38.070 --> 00:37:41.409
all of it and posted it. Oh yeah, for sure. Yeah,

00:37:41.429 --> 00:37:43.469
we were fortunate that it happened behind the

00:37:43.469 --> 00:37:47.219
hedge. Anyway, that's one crazy story. I mean,

00:37:47.260 --> 00:37:49.639
look, there are people that do that shit all

00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:52.719
the time. And it may not necessarily be a lion's

00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:55.739
den, but it could be anything. Elephant or fucking

00:37:55.739 --> 00:38:00.239
deer. People do crazy, stupid shit. Kangaroos.

00:38:00.739 --> 00:38:04.739
Come on, man. Teach your kids more. No, it's

00:38:04.739 --> 00:38:07.360
always mental illness, dude. It's always mental

00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:09.300
illness. I remember there was this one guy who...

00:38:09.300 --> 00:38:12.340
You know how in the Bible... You know, there's

00:38:12.340 --> 00:38:16.179
a story of somebody being in a lion's den. Was

00:38:16.179 --> 00:38:19.280
it, shit, was it David? I don't know. Anyway,

00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:21.360
he's in a lion's den and they basically, you

00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:24.739
know, he survives. And they, yeah. And so he

00:38:24.739 --> 00:38:28.519
was a big Bible guy and he wanted to jump into

00:38:28.519 --> 00:38:31.500
the same type of thing. He was inspired by the

00:38:31.500 --> 00:38:34.980
biblical story and he got mauled to death. Didn't

00:38:34.980 --> 00:38:37.300
quite work out for him. No, it didn't. Like David.

00:38:37.500 --> 00:38:40.260
Yeah. Like David. I'm not sure if it was David.

00:38:40.340 --> 00:38:43.500
I don't know who it was. I don't know my, apparently

00:38:43.500 --> 00:38:47.360
I don't know my Bible. You know, there's a guy,

00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:49.679
I'm trying to get him on the podcast, Sam Tuma.

00:38:49.860 --> 00:38:53.340
It's not a tumor. It's not a tumor at all. Yeah.

00:38:53.460 --> 00:38:55.920
You know, he, I was talking to him the other

00:38:55.920 --> 00:38:59.260
day and he was, and I was making fun of him because

00:38:59.260 --> 00:39:02.780
I know he and his wife play pickleball. Right.

00:39:02.860 --> 00:39:06.519
And he had sent something kind of a little. hey,

00:39:06.739 --> 00:39:08.719
I'm going here to play pickleball, and I sent

00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:13.519
some gay -ass meme back to him to fuck with him

00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:15.659
a little bit. But they're actually, they play

00:39:15.659 --> 00:39:20.460
in tournaments. It's extremely popular. Yeah,

00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:22.880
I mean, I'm not against it. It's taking over

00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:25.260
the tennis courts, and the tennis people are

00:39:25.260 --> 00:39:29.039
getting pissed. They're competing for space,

00:39:29.280 --> 00:39:33.469
for courts. Apparently it's loud. Is it? Well,

00:39:33.570 --> 00:39:35.530
there's some towns that are trying to get it

00:39:35.530 --> 00:39:38.610
banned. Yeah. Or HOAs are getting it banned.

00:39:38.730 --> 00:39:40.590
Or somebody, some areas are trying to get it

00:39:40.590 --> 00:39:42.190
banned. The Ritchie neighborhood. I think it

00:39:42.190 --> 00:39:45.590
was in DFW area. In our area. Yeah. And it was,

00:39:45.670 --> 00:39:47.949
yeah, they. They're like, it's too loud. They

00:39:47.949 --> 00:39:50.949
had a noise ordinance complaint. Is it because

00:39:50.949 --> 00:39:53.230
of the women grunting when they serve? Yeah,

00:39:53.269 --> 00:39:57.989
they're all Monica Sellers. You know what? But

00:39:57.989 --> 00:40:00.630
what's worse? I mean, you have. Look, first of

00:40:00.630 --> 00:40:02.389
all. That sound ordinance is not going to do

00:40:02.389 --> 00:40:04.510
anything because it's not based on types of noises.

00:40:04.750 --> 00:40:08.949
It's based on decibels. And they don't have decibels.

00:40:08.949 --> 00:40:10.610
Yeah, I don't think this was a decibel issue.

00:40:10.690 --> 00:40:14.690
I think it just was annoying. So I'm going to

00:40:14.690 --> 00:40:17.489
make an analogy here. So you have a dog. Dogs

00:40:17.489 --> 00:40:20.710
bark, okay? Is it illegal? No. If your dog barks

00:40:20.710 --> 00:40:22.030
at night, yeah, you need to take care of that.

00:40:22.070 --> 00:40:25.389
Put the dog in the house. But there's particular

00:40:25.389 --> 00:40:27.960
neighbors that are like, well... They filed a

00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:30.300
lawsuit with their neighbor because they had

00:40:30.300 --> 00:40:32.860
Bassett House, and the Bassett House has a very

00:40:32.860 --> 00:40:35.880
peculiar bar. Oh, yeah. They pay. Yeah, it's

00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:38.500
ridiculous. Well, it failed. It never went through

00:40:38.500 --> 00:40:41.539
because it wasn't breaking any laws because it

00:40:41.539 --> 00:40:43.599
didn't break a sound ordinance. This is going

00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:45.679
to fall in the same category. I think this was

00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:48.800
a situation where they had the power to say you

00:40:48.800 --> 00:40:51.460
can't play on the - It was in an HOA. Yeah, if

00:40:51.460 --> 00:40:53.420
it's an HOA, then they have to vote on it, and

00:40:53.420 --> 00:40:56.090
it has to be 83%. Is it 83%, Chuck? Can you look

00:40:56.090 --> 00:40:59.210
that up for me? What was the ritzy city that

00:40:59.210 --> 00:41:04.769
banned pickleball? Little Elm. Oh, that's a ritzy

00:41:04.769 --> 00:41:07.789
city, huh? I don't know. Wow. You have an interesting

00:41:07.789 --> 00:41:12.690
litmus test or criteria for a ritzy city. No,

00:41:12.710 --> 00:41:14.530
it would be like Starwood. You know what I mean?

00:41:14.570 --> 00:41:19.429
It was like some fancy neighborhood. Let's see.

00:41:19.489 --> 00:41:22.929
Pickleball noise ordinances vary by municipality.

00:41:23.789 --> 00:41:29.420
55 DBA. Okay, so there is a decibel issue being...

00:41:29.420 --> 00:41:32.780
Setting decibel limits. 55 during the day and

00:41:32.780 --> 00:41:36.019
50 at night. That's not very loud. All right,

00:41:36.019 --> 00:41:38.480
but what was the city that banned it? Look up

00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:42.199
something about somebody banning it. It was a

00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:44.880
really... It was a high -profile news article

00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:47.840
and put in ban. You have to put in the word ban,

00:41:47.960 --> 00:41:50.099
I think. Mesquite, Texas, new noise ordinance.

00:41:50.900 --> 00:41:54.559
So, to put this in perspective, a vacuum cleaner

00:41:54.559 --> 00:41:57.769
is... 70 decibels. There it is. Carmel, California.

00:41:57.769 --> 00:42:02.570
A normal conversation is 60 decibels. 6 -0. So

00:42:02.570 --> 00:42:07.530
if they're blasting 50, 55 decibels, they are

00:42:07.530 --> 00:42:10.650
now saying... You can't even talk? Yeah. I mean,

00:42:10.670 --> 00:42:12.949
so it's kind of like, that's bullshit. Normal

00:42:12.949 --> 00:42:15.530
conversation is 60 decibels. Hair dryer, power

00:42:15.530 --> 00:42:21.010
tools, 90. You know, alarms for your house or

00:42:21.010 --> 00:42:23.250
business, whatever, alarms are 110 decibels.

00:42:23.530 --> 00:42:27.219
So super loud. Right. You know, jet taken off

00:42:27.219 --> 00:42:32.400
120, gunshots 130, 140. You know, then you lose

00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:33.860
your hearing after that. I think more of what

00:42:33.860 --> 00:42:37.980
it was is the specific sound that you hear. Popping.

00:42:38.139 --> 00:42:41.300
Yeah, but that, whatever, man. I mean, you're.

00:42:41.880 --> 00:42:43.900
It wouldn't bother me unless it was right next

00:42:43.900 --> 00:42:46.159
to my house and they were playing late at night.

00:42:46.239 --> 00:42:49.179
So this is in Carmel, California. There you go.

00:42:49.320 --> 00:42:52.039
Those crazy Californians. They want to permanently

00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:54.460
ban pickleball due to years of noise complaints

00:42:54.460 --> 00:42:59.079
surrounding the only public courts in the city

00:42:59.079 --> 00:43:02.619
due to the popping noises caused by pickleballs

00:43:02.619 --> 00:43:04.960
connecting with rackets and the court. All they

00:43:04.960 --> 00:43:07.039
got to do is set up some sound dampening panels.

00:43:08.519 --> 00:43:11.519
Yeah. Pick your battles. Yeah, why not? Put up

00:43:11.519 --> 00:43:13.420
some sound dampening panels. Just enclose it

00:43:13.420 --> 00:43:16.860
into like a nice dome. Yes. Yes. They could afford

00:43:16.860 --> 00:43:18.739
it. Take some of that money that they didn't

00:43:18.739 --> 00:43:21.780
use for the real. Oh, yeah, the billion -dollar

00:43:21.780 --> 00:43:24.960
high -speed rail? $100 billion. Oh, my God. And

00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:26.920
then Trump ended up canceling it, didn't he?

00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:29.659
He got like three miles out of it. Oh, my God.

00:43:29.960 --> 00:43:34.099
$100 billion. That's so crazy. Anyway. What's

00:43:34.099 --> 00:43:36.719
this like Tim Walz is now in this whole thing

00:43:36.719 --> 00:43:40.239
where the whole fraud? Go walk me through what's

00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:42.340
going on there because I saw that and I didn't

00:43:42.340 --> 00:43:43.800
have time to listen to what they're really talking

00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:46.059
about. What is this all about? It's COVID fraud,

00:43:46.179 --> 00:43:49.099
right? COVID funding? Well, it's for Somalian.

00:43:50.119 --> 00:43:52.519
There were some Somalian groups who set up these

00:43:52.519 --> 00:43:54.900
charities to say, we're going to raise money

00:43:54.900 --> 00:43:58.239
for whatever cause, right? I thought they were

00:43:58.239 --> 00:44:02.079
taking COVID grants. It was money from Minnesota.

00:44:02.380 --> 00:44:05.719
So the Minnesota taxes were covering this, a

00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:08.960
billion dollars. And it didn't go to anything

00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:13.139
except buying cars and property and boats and

00:44:13.139 --> 00:44:17.449
mansions. Yeah, the Somalian people. And there

00:44:17.449 --> 00:44:18.690
were a ton of whistleblowers. There were a ton

00:44:18.690 --> 00:44:22.849
of whistleblowers, and the governor and the administration

00:44:22.849 --> 00:44:27.750
basically shamed them. Yeah. Totally covered

00:44:27.750 --> 00:44:31.610
for the Somalians. Correct. And the New York

00:44:31.610 --> 00:44:33.690
Times is all over this. I mean, you know how

00:44:33.690 --> 00:44:37.690
this works, right? First off, there's a ton of

00:44:37.690 --> 00:44:39.829
Somalians. Enough Somalians to affect the vote.

00:44:39.949 --> 00:44:43.309
Correct. To affect being elected. So they probably

00:44:43.309 --> 00:44:45.969
were like, yeah, so you guys want to keep doing

00:44:45.969 --> 00:44:49.699
this? illegal embezzling or whatever you call

00:44:49.699 --> 00:44:52.739
it. And I, he knew about it because they told

00:44:52.739 --> 00:44:54.760
him, they told him they whistleblowers were saying,

00:44:54.800 --> 00:44:56.460
you've got to stop this fraud. Yeah. There's

00:44:56.460 --> 00:44:59.539
like, there's emails and texts saying this is

00:44:59.539 --> 00:45:03.960
going on. Yes. And he shamed them and he did

00:45:03.960 --> 00:45:06.579
it because he wanted their vote. Right. And if

00:45:06.579 --> 00:45:08.760
you get the, they, they vote together, by the

00:45:08.760 --> 00:45:10.780
way. I mean, when you have a block of voters

00:45:10.780 --> 00:45:13.099
that have the exact same interests and they're

00:45:13.099 --> 00:45:15.460
told to vote a certain way, it made a difference.

00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:17.960
So they, Basically let them do this fraudulent

00:45:17.960 --> 00:45:22.219
stuff? Talk about corruption. That is the epitome

00:45:22.219 --> 00:45:24.659
of corruption. I enjoy watching Trump's stance

00:45:24.659 --> 00:45:31.400
on Ilhan Omar and just the ugliness that's coming

00:45:31.400 --> 00:45:33.199
from him. He's just like, we don't want people

00:45:33.199 --> 00:45:37.179
like them that are doing these illegal things.

00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:39.940
We don't want them here. Don't come from a broken

00:45:39.940 --> 00:45:42.500
country and try to tell us how to run ours. Get

00:45:42.500 --> 00:45:45.920
the fuck out of here. I hear you. You know, especially

00:45:45.920 --> 00:45:49.420
her. You know, they need to send her out. I mean,

00:45:49.460 --> 00:45:53.179
did or did she not marry her brother? I don't

00:45:53.179 --> 00:45:54.760
know. Obviously, it's not a... There are people

00:45:54.760 --> 00:45:57.739
that claim she absolutely did. It's not a conjugal,

00:45:57.900 --> 00:46:00.659
sincere marriage. No, you could get a green card.

00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:04.980
Yeah, but yes, 100 % illegal. Right. So why don't

00:46:04.980 --> 00:46:07.719
they hold her accountable if it's true? And if

00:46:07.719 --> 00:46:10.019
it's not true, then stop saying that. True. I

00:46:10.019 --> 00:46:12.300
agree. Because you have people of stature like

00:46:12.300 --> 00:46:13.940
the President of the United States saying that.

00:46:14.170 --> 00:46:16.190
So if it's not true, stop saying that. Because

00:46:16.190 --> 00:46:18.929
I hate it when they say it about us, and I sure

00:46:18.929 --> 00:46:20.730
don't want to be saying it about them. And that's

00:46:20.730 --> 00:46:22.269
what kind of makes the difference between this

00:46:22.269 --> 00:46:27.989
Greta Thunberg stuff and the right side, Republican

00:46:27.989 --> 00:46:32.690
side. The left get away with this shit because

00:46:32.690 --> 00:46:35.590
the right doesn't give a fuck. They don't hold

00:46:35.590 --> 00:46:36.849
them accountable. We're just kind of like, fuck

00:46:36.849 --> 00:46:39.719
off, you're stupid. But the right, when we start

00:46:39.719 --> 00:46:42.539
doing shit, we get the left all radical, they

00:46:42.539 --> 00:46:46.719
shoot us and try taking us out. Yep. That's why

00:46:46.719 --> 00:46:49.760
she's still doing this shit. Because she's getting

00:46:49.760 --> 00:46:51.619
away with it. There's no consequences. She hasn't

00:46:51.619 --> 00:46:54.380
been held accountable. I mean, slightly. She

00:46:54.380 --> 00:46:56.480
got banned for 48 hours and got fined, what,

00:46:56.480 --> 00:46:59.719
$170? I cannot believe that. 48 hours. Get the

00:46:59.719 --> 00:47:01.760
fuck out. Even when she was on her gauze and

00:47:01.760 --> 00:47:07.329
flotilla. Israel. She said she was attacked by

00:47:07.329 --> 00:47:12.150
Israeli drones. Yes. Whatever, man. It's like,

00:47:12.170 --> 00:47:14.829
whatever. So stupid. Yeah, Israel gave him a

00:47:14.829 --> 00:47:17.730
sandwich and says, go home. Yeah, she did. She

00:47:17.730 --> 00:47:20.070
totally did. And, you know. She's like, oh, I've

00:47:20.070 --> 00:47:22.929
been imprisoned. Yes. No, you haven't. I was

00:47:22.929 --> 00:47:25.789
attacked by Israeli drones. They had excellent

00:47:25.789 --> 00:47:28.449
mustard sandwiches. How was that, Paul? I'm not

00:47:28.449 --> 00:47:33.829
doing it again. Oh, awful. I swear. But you're

00:47:33.829 --> 00:47:35.769
right. You're right, Sean. I mean, they're. But

00:47:35.769 --> 00:47:39.130
that is the difference. There's unequal... Because

00:47:39.130 --> 00:47:41.269
the mindset's different. Yeah. Now, mind you,

00:47:41.349 --> 00:47:44.309
we're all thinking it, but the difference is

00:47:44.309 --> 00:47:46.590
we don't act on it. Most of us don't act on it.

00:47:46.650 --> 00:47:49.309
Look, there are some people that are nutty that

00:47:49.309 --> 00:47:52.409
would act on that, and it's going to happen.

00:47:52.530 --> 00:47:55.889
But the majority don't. If you acted on it, you'd

00:47:55.889 --> 00:47:59.150
go to prison. Right. I would, yeah. Look at George

00:47:59.150 --> 00:48:02.349
Santos, for example, right? He got caught. Doing

00:48:02.349 --> 00:48:05.190
some shady stuff. They kicked him. The gold bar

00:48:05.190 --> 00:48:08.030
boy. No, no, no. That's Bob Mendez. He lied about

00:48:08.030 --> 00:48:09.809
everything, didn't he? George Santos. Yeah, but

00:48:09.809 --> 00:48:12.809
there was some shady campaign finance stuff,

00:48:12.929 --> 00:48:15.849
right? I'm not exactly sure what. It was borderline.

00:48:15.889 --> 00:48:17.849
That's why Trump pardoned him later. But he went

00:48:17.849 --> 00:48:21.170
to prison for seven months and kicked out of

00:48:21.170 --> 00:48:23.130
Congress like immediately. Republicans, Democrats,

00:48:23.289 --> 00:48:25.889
they both said out. Right. He had a new election.

00:48:25.889 --> 00:48:28.309
And he obviously was a Republican. Yes, he was.

00:48:28.369 --> 00:48:31.309
Right. In other words, they were. treating somebody

00:48:31.309 --> 00:48:34.710
of their own the way they should have been treated.

00:48:34.789 --> 00:48:37.429
Call out your own and get them out if they're

00:48:37.429 --> 00:48:41.030
committing fraud. Not on the left. Doesn't happen.

00:48:41.170 --> 00:48:44.130
It's crazy. Sick of it. Because then they call

00:48:44.130 --> 00:48:48.429
it political warfare. And they're like, Trump's

00:48:48.429 --> 00:48:51.969
targeting these poor Somali. What? No. They committed

00:48:51.969 --> 00:48:55.570
fraud. He's targeting fraud. If they happen to

00:48:55.570 --> 00:48:57.889
be Somali, whatever. And then you have all these

00:48:57.889 --> 00:49:00.130
stories about these judges that are overturning

00:49:00.130 --> 00:49:03.989
jury decisions on somebody, some career criminal.

00:49:04.190 --> 00:49:06.530
There were like eight judges that got terminated?

00:49:07.349 --> 00:49:11.510
Oh, that's a recent story. I saw that real quick.

00:49:11.510 --> 00:49:14.230
So how can you overturn a jury conviction? It

00:49:14.230 --> 00:49:18.489
happened in Minnesota. Look it up. A judge overturns

00:49:18.489 --> 00:49:23.309
Minnesota jury decision. And it was bad. Then

00:49:23.309 --> 00:49:26.780
why have a jury at that point? And why do they

00:49:26.780 --> 00:49:29.239
have the authority to do that? Yeah. I mean,

00:49:29.280 --> 00:49:32.099
I just don't understand. Minnesota judge under

00:49:32.099 --> 00:49:35.340
fire for tossing a $7 .2 million taxpayer fraud

00:49:35.340 --> 00:49:38.980
conviction tied to an alleged lavish lifestyle.

00:49:39.199 --> 00:49:41.260
And look at the picture of the judge. She looks

00:49:41.260 --> 00:49:43.199
like she's, I don't know if they have a picture

00:49:43.199 --> 00:49:45.119
of, yeah, look at her. She looks like she's 21

00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:50.039
years old. Yes. That's the judge. Judge Sarah

00:49:50.039 --> 00:49:52.119
West. She threw it out. Probably graduated from

00:49:52.119 --> 00:49:56.570
Harvard and got corrupted there. So Trump administration

00:49:56.570 --> 00:50:00.769
firings had fired eight immigration judges in

00:50:00.769 --> 00:50:04.210
New York City. Is that part of this thing? No.

00:50:04.269 --> 00:50:07.010
That's completely unrelated. But it's, I mean,

00:50:07.050 --> 00:50:10.630
it sounds like it's a... That's a big deal. That's

00:50:10.630 --> 00:50:12.170
happened today. That happened just recently.

00:50:12.250 --> 00:50:17.349
Eight immigration judges for fraud. For fraud?

00:50:17.530 --> 00:50:21.130
Yeah. Because they're not being real. Unbelievable.

00:50:21.130 --> 00:50:24.039
They're probably getting paid money to... Look

00:50:24.039 --> 00:50:26.320
the other way. Dude, these activist judges out

00:50:26.320 --> 00:50:30.219
of control. It's unbelievable. I just, I don't

00:50:30.219 --> 00:50:33.199
get it. We've got to get past this. Well, hold

00:50:33.199 --> 00:50:36.900
on. I'm sorry. There's also this. I heard this

00:50:36.900 --> 00:50:40.780
on the news. It was on the five. And what is

00:50:40.780 --> 00:50:45.940
Jessica Tarloff? Right. You know, so. Trump accounts

00:50:45.940 --> 00:50:48.000
for kids. So Michael and Susan Dell announced

00:50:48.000 --> 00:50:50.940
they will donate $6 .25 billion to fund Invest

00:50:50.940 --> 00:50:53.760
America accounts for 25 million children. Yes.

00:50:53.780 --> 00:50:57.400
Part of a Trump administrative initiative. Yeah,

00:50:57.500 --> 00:50:58.980
they're called Trump accounts, and it's part

00:50:58.980 --> 00:51:01.300
of the big, beautiful bill. Yeah. So, I mean,

00:51:01.340 --> 00:51:05.019
Jessica Tarlow, not just her, but the general

00:51:05.019 --> 00:51:06.980
mindset is kind of like, well, I wonder what

00:51:06.980 --> 00:51:08.880
kind of kickback Trump's getting for that. Shut

00:51:08.880 --> 00:51:10.860
the fuck up. Is that what she said? That's exactly

00:51:10.860 --> 00:51:12.260
what she said. What a fucking whore. And I'm

00:51:12.260 --> 00:51:14.769
just like, are you kidding me? Why would you

00:51:14.769 --> 00:51:18.210
say that? Because it's TDS. But you know what

00:51:18.210 --> 00:51:21.489
these accounts are for. So basically, any kid

00:51:21.489 --> 00:51:25.349
that is born during Trump's presidency, right,

00:51:25.429 --> 00:51:29.070
is given $1 ,000 to put into a tax advantage

00:51:29.070 --> 00:51:36.630
account, you know, through, let's see. Yes. Any

00:51:36.630 --> 00:51:40.050
kid, it expires on the final day of his presidency,

00:51:40.190 --> 00:51:46.079
right, in 2028. And yeah, you can contribute

00:51:46.079 --> 00:51:49.280
to it. They're trying to get parents to start

00:51:49.280 --> 00:51:51.880
changing their mindset. About saving money and

00:51:51.880 --> 00:51:53.320
investments. And saving money, yes. Changing

00:51:53.320 --> 00:51:55.360
that whole mindset of saving money, investing

00:51:55.360 --> 00:51:57.179
in your future, investing in your kid's future.

00:51:57.400 --> 00:52:00.940
And so this Michael Dell and his wife, they're

00:52:00.940 --> 00:52:04.039
going to add their money, private money, into

00:52:04.039 --> 00:52:08.360
these accounts. $250 per kid. Up to that many.

00:52:08.519 --> 00:52:12.820
Like six point something billion. Big deal. And

00:52:12.820 --> 00:52:16.579
Trump is trying to get 6 point something billion

00:52:16.579 --> 00:52:19.400
dollars. 6 .25 billion. His own damn money. His

00:52:19.400 --> 00:52:22.420
own money. And basically Trump, because they're

00:52:22.420 --> 00:52:25.260
big believers in their philanthropy and their

00:52:25.260 --> 00:52:27.619
organizations that they do and trying to teach

00:52:27.619 --> 00:52:30.239
people fiscal responsibility and saving for the

00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:32.559
future. Maybe invest in our podcast and we'd

00:52:32.559 --> 00:52:35.699
be able to push the narrative. There we go. We

00:52:35.699 --> 00:52:38.539
wouldn't need $6 .2 billion, maybe $3 billion.

00:52:39.000 --> 00:52:41.260
Michael and Susan Dell, shout out to you guys.

00:52:41.400 --> 00:52:44.159
A big, that's huge. We support you. They just

00:52:44.159 --> 00:52:45.820
live a couple hours south of here. We can go

00:52:45.820 --> 00:52:48.780
visit. And they're hoping that other billionaires

00:52:48.780 --> 00:52:52.099
and entrepreneurs and philanthropists follow

00:52:52.099 --> 00:52:56.159
their lead. And more private investors are willing

00:52:56.159 --> 00:52:59.059
to give to these people. And that's great that

00:52:59.059 --> 00:53:03.980
they're doing that. It'd be also great that if...

00:53:04.329 --> 00:53:08.289
The schools that, and this has been an ongoing

00:53:08.289 --> 00:53:12.389
topic, what your wife teaches, Jeff, is to teach

00:53:12.389 --> 00:53:15.230
economics from a financial standpoint of how

00:53:15.230 --> 00:53:17.210
you grow up in life. Where does your money go?

00:53:17.230 --> 00:53:18.469
Personal finance. Where do you put your money?

00:53:18.650 --> 00:53:20.510
But that's not required, right? It used to be

00:53:20.510 --> 00:53:24.989
home ec. Well, it is required. That's for a checkbook.

00:53:25.010 --> 00:53:27.690
And Frisco is required to take a personal finance

00:53:27.690 --> 00:53:31.530
class to graduate now. Yeah, that's good. I mean,

00:53:31.530 --> 00:53:33.590
really, honestly, that should be taught by parents,

00:53:33.670 --> 00:53:35.909
in my opinion. And reinforced by the school.

00:53:36.070 --> 00:53:38.369
Julie was asked to write the curriculum for it,

00:53:38.429 --> 00:53:44.750
but it's in the social studies arm of the classes.

00:53:44.909 --> 00:53:47.010
So it'll be part of the social studies class.

00:53:47.150 --> 00:53:49.250
But not required, or it is required? It is required.

00:53:49.369 --> 00:53:52.389
Oh, excellent. It'll be new curriculum next year,

00:53:52.510 --> 00:53:55.429
I think, next year. In order to graduate, you

00:53:55.429 --> 00:53:58.289
have to pass the tests and exams. So, you know,

00:53:58.349 --> 00:54:02.480
George Carlin, had brought up this topic before,

00:54:02.659 --> 00:54:06.059
trying to keep the kids dumb, trying to keep

00:54:06.059 --> 00:54:08.380
American citizens dumb. You know, the longer

00:54:08.380 --> 00:54:10.920
we're kept in the dark on how money really works,

00:54:11.139 --> 00:54:13.119
you know, the longer we're not going to be able

00:54:13.119 --> 00:54:15.739
to participate on who's making the money. You

00:54:15.739 --> 00:54:17.159
know, we're going to spend, we're going to be

00:54:17.159 --> 00:54:22.699
one of those matrix batteries just producing

00:54:22.699 --> 00:54:26.440
for the United States. Well, think about it.

00:54:27.319 --> 00:54:31.219
what incentive do lawmakers have to make people

00:54:31.219 --> 00:54:35.380
not reliant on government? Think about it. It

00:54:35.380 --> 00:54:38.300
is a proven, if you want people to vote for you,

00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:40.420
you're going to give them, you're going to make

00:54:40.420 --> 00:54:42.860
them reliant, dependent on government with government

00:54:42.860 --> 00:54:46.000
welfare programs, right? So they have absolutely

00:54:46.000 --> 00:54:48.780
no incentive to make sure that people are fiscally

00:54:48.780 --> 00:54:52.360
independent. It's bizarre. Does that make sense?

00:54:52.639 --> 00:54:54.300
A hundred percent, you know, and that's where

00:54:54.300 --> 00:54:56.889
you get some mindset though, because, I don't

00:54:56.889 --> 00:54:59.150
believe that. Right, but they teach that mindset.

00:54:59.409 --> 00:55:02.230
They teach that, but I think it's right down

00:55:02.230 --> 00:55:04.969
the middle. Democrats, Republicans, the Democrats

00:55:04.969 --> 00:55:07.030
believe that. The social programs are needed

00:55:07.030 --> 00:55:10.469
to take care of people. So half the country is

00:55:10.469 --> 00:55:13.130
very happy to take a handout, where the other

00:55:13.130 --> 00:55:16.110
half, it's just your brain thinks differently.

00:55:16.210 --> 00:55:19.190
Yeah. That's what it is. You just think differently

00:55:19.190 --> 00:55:25.010
about money and self -worth. And self -sufficiency.

00:55:25.920 --> 00:55:28.679
Yeah. Independence. Yes. I mean, I talk with

00:55:28.679 --> 00:55:31.420
the lady that rides with me on the bus. You know,

00:55:31.440 --> 00:55:35.360
she has these goals and aspirations. And I tell

00:55:35.360 --> 00:55:37.539
her, I was like, you know, and she's talking

00:55:37.539 --> 00:55:39.500
about these programs or these jobs. I was like,

00:55:39.539 --> 00:55:42.760
go do that. Don't talk about it because you've

00:55:42.760 --> 00:55:44.519
got these goals and aspirations. Working here

00:55:44.519 --> 00:55:46.780
is not going to get you there. This is not a

00:55:46.780 --> 00:55:48.880
career for someone your age who's in her early

00:55:48.880 --> 00:55:51.920
30s. I was like, this is something that may be

00:55:51.920 --> 00:55:56.119
transitional. Go find something else. That's

00:55:56.119 --> 00:55:58.000
going to get you to where you want to be. Right.

00:55:58.159 --> 00:56:00.539
And she would say, well, I don't want to do that.

00:56:00.619 --> 00:56:02.179
I was like, you're going to have to have sacrifices

00:56:02.179 --> 00:56:04.460
as well. They're not going to give you this money.

00:56:05.280 --> 00:56:08.179
To get to where you want to be, you have to go

00:56:08.179 --> 00:56:11.440
work for it. Right. But the sad thing is when

00:56:11.440 --> 00:56:14.719
you, like, for instance, today, today, I was

00:56:14.719 --> 00:56:16.440
having a conversation with my coworker about

00:56:16.440 --> 00:56:19.760
one of her family members, and she was figuring

00:56:19.760 --> 00:56:22.780
out that for her to stay on disability, she was

00:56:22.780 --> 00:56:24.719
making more money than she would have if she

00:56:24.719 --> 00:56:26.980
had been, you know, keep working at her job.

00:56:27.980 --> 00:56:29.840
That's backwards. There's a problem there. And

00:56:29.840 --> 00:56:32.019
so she's like, okay, well, I'm just going to

00:56:32.019 --> 00:56:35.400
keep getting the doctors to, you know, make sure

00:56:35.400 --> 00:56:37.619
that I stay on disability. And so they stay on

00:56:37.619 --> 00:56:40.510
disability. For the majority of their life, making

00:56:40.510 --> 00:56:42.429
more money than they would if they stayed at

00:56:42.429 --> 00:56:43.889
their jobs. There's a lot of people that do that.

00:56:43.889 --> 00:56:47.389
And guess how they vote? Dems. Dems. Forever.

00:56:47.610 --> 00:56:49.929
And the Democrats know that. So they're trying

00:56:49.929 --> 00:56:53.449
to make these programs as encompassing, widely

00:56:53.449 --> 00:56:55.530
encompassing, and easy to get into as possible,

00:56:55.690 --> 00:56:57.269
because they know they're going to have those

00:56:57.269 --> 00:56:58.809
people's votes, and they're going to be able

00:56:58.809 --> 00:57:01.230
to keep themselves in power forever. The problem

00:57:01.230 --> 00:57:04.030
is, though, what's the great lie? Socialism works

00:57:04.030 --> 00:57:06.869
until you run out of other people's money. Right?

00:57:07.010 --> 00:57:10.159
There you go. And then there's an uproar. Why

00:57:10.159 --> 00:57:11.639
isn't the government taking care of me? I voted

00:57:11.639 --> 00:57:13.079
for you for years and years, and now you're not

00:57:13.079 --> 00:57:14.880
taking care of me. If you remember over in Greece,

00:57:15.119 --> 00:57:17.519
five, six, seven, eight years ago, they had the

00:57:17.519 --> 00:57:19.780
big uproar because they couldn't pay the social

00:57:19.780 --> 00:57:21.460
programs anymore because there were so many people

00:57:21.460 --> 00:57:23.880
on social programs. Correct. The tax money wasn't

00:57:23.880 --> 00:57:25.199
funding it, so they were like, well, we have

00:57:25.199 --> 00:57:28.699
to stop. Well, everyone threw a hissy fit. Lost

00:57:28.699 --> 00:57:30.699
their shit. Yeah, lost their shit and rioting

00:57:30.699 --> 00:57:32.360
and everything. Like, I want my money. I want

00:57:32.360 --> 00:57:35.300
my money. And that was because there were decades

00:57:35.300 --> 00:57:37.929
of politicians that milked it. for their own

00:57:37.929 --> 00:57:40.349
personal gain to stay in power and then knowing

00:57:40.349 --> 00:57:42.849
that at some point it's going to fail, just like

00:57:42.849 --> 00:57:44.869
Social Security is going to fail, and it's not

00:57:44.869 --> 00:57:47.489
on them. They were able to, like Joe Biden was

00:57:47.489 --> 00:57:50.690
able to stay in office for 45 years. 50. Right,

00:57:50.730 --> 00:57:52.590
50 years. And so it's going to be somebody else's

00:57:52.590 --> 00:57:54.110
problem. They don't care. That is insane. They

00:57:54.110 --> 00:57:56.610
don't care. They don't care. It's somebody else's

00:57:56.610 --> 00:57:58.750
problem. Did we talk about the auto pad with

00:57:58.750 --> 00:58:01.250
Joe Biden? We have not. We have to talk about

00:58:01.250 --> 00:58:06.150
this too. Let's knock that out. We'll tell you

00:58:06.150 --> 00:58:10.170
what. Our whiskey of the event. We got the Hirsch.

00:58:10.210 --> 00:58:12.690
Double barrel straight bourbon whiskey. Hirsch.

00:58:12.809 --> 00:58:16.789
H -I -R -S -C -H. This is the yellow label. It's

00:58:16.789 --> 00:58:19.809
a single barrel. It's a single barrel double

00:58:19.809 --> 00:58:23.070
oak. Single barrel double oak. Kentucky straight

00:58:23.070 --> 00:58:24.469
bourbon. I don't know how many years. Well, it's

00:58:24.469 --> 00:58:27.929
got a very nice hue. It's 10. 10. A decade. It's

00:58:27.929 --> 00:58:31.070
been aging in a barrel for 10 years. Wow. The

00:58:31.070 --> 00:58:35.539
Balcones was. Two years. Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy.

00:58:35.840 --> 00:58:38.199
That may have contributed to some of the harshness

00:58:38.199 --> 00:58:40.400
we were picking up. Yeah. How many years? Two.

00:58:40.659 --> 00:58:44.179
Oh, yeah. A little harsh. No smoothness at all.

00:58:44.219 --> 00:58:49.519
You could taste the proof on this, but once that

00:58:49.519 --> 00:58:52.420
goes away, it goes down smooth for me. Oh, yeah.

00:58:52.719 --> 00:58:58.960
113 .4 proof. It's super light. You know, I'm

00:58:58.960 --> 00:59:02.329
thinking... This is excellent. It's like tea.

00:59:02.730 --> 00:59:05.949
Like you said, tea leaves, leather. There is

00:59:05.949 --> 00:59:08.010
a lot of tobacco in this taste, but it's not

00:59:08.010 --> 00:59:10.730
overpowering. No, it's not sweetness and caramel.

00:59:10.909 --> 00:59:13.389
It's got like some sun daisy kind of thing going

00:59:13.389 --> 00:59:16.170
on. Every now and then, not on every pool, but

00:59:16.170 --> 00:59:19.750
I pick up a hint of ketchup. Well, that's interesting.

00:59:19.889 --> 00:59:22.909
That is a new one. Yeah, it's weird. Now that

00:59:22.909 --> 00:59:25.730
you say it, in the nose or in the finish? In

00:59:25.730 --> 00:59:30.739
the taste, the palate. And the double oak really

00:59:30.739 --> 00:59:33.980
brings that charred oak taste to it. Oh, it does.

00:59:36.480 --> 00:59:39.579
By the way, this bottle. Outstanding. This bottle,

00:59:39.719 --> 00:59:42.619
when it first came out, we were just told by

00:59:42.619 --> 00:59:46.639
Stan. Shout out to Stan. That used to be at Sif's

00:59:46.639 --> 00:59:48.769
and used to be at Total Wine. Yeah. Uncommon,

00:59:48.769 --> 00:59:50.829
right? Get your black ass a job, Stan. What the

00:59:50.829 --> 00:59:52.889
hell? What are you doing? He was saying it was

00:59:52.889 --> 00:59:55.190
hard to find, right? Well, at the time, it was

00:59:55.190 --> 00:59:57.550
just like, you know, we need to get this. You

00:59:57.550 --> 00:59:59.670
guys need to make sure you get this. But now,

00:59:59.849 --> 01:00:03.030
you can't find it. Oh, now you can't find it?

01:00:03.090 --> 01:00:06.500
Well, dude, it's a double oak. You get the regular

01:00:06.500 --> 01:00:08.679
Hirsch. Scott was saying something about, yeah,

01:00:08.739 --> 01:00:10.880
I was told this is super rare, and now I find

01:00:10.880 --> 01:00:12.599
it everywhere. So maybe he's talking about a

01:00:12.599 --> 01:00:14.460
different version of Hirsch. You misunderstood.

01:00:14.900 --> 01:00:18.219
That's not it. He said it is super rare right

01:00:18.219 --> 01:00:20.300
now, and he's got two bottles. He was joking.

01:00:20.480 --> 01:00:23.119
He's being sarcastic. He's like, what are you

01:00:23.119 --> 01:00:24.960
guys talking about? I got two bottles right here.

01:00:25.119 --> 01:00:27.559
He's being condescending because he's got two

01:00:27.559 --> 01:00:31.000
bottles. Interesting. Are you putting that on

01:00:31.000 --> 01:00:34.239
OnlyDreams to see how it? I am if it works for

01:00:34.239 --> 01:00:37.519
me. So single barrel Kentucky straight bourbon

01:00:37.519 --> 01:00:39.960
whiskey. This is the double oak. I keep saying

01:00:39.960 --> 01:00:41.559
it's double oak, double oak, double oak, because

01:00:41.559 --> 01:00:44.960
double oak is so, I really, really enjoy those

01:00:44.960 --> 01:00:48.380
double oaks. So I wonder how many years it was

01:00:48.380 --> 01:00:50.579
in one barrel and how many years it was in the

01:00:50.579 --> 01:00:54.849
second barrel. I don't know. Ten years. I think

01:00:54.849 --> 01:00:57.030
it was 10 years in one barrel and then maybe

01:00:57.030 --> 01:00:59.510
20 years in the next one. Maybe six months in

01:00:59.510 --> 01:01:01.869
another. So it's been in a barrel for 65 years?

01:01:02.090 --> 01:01:05.690
I'm not good with math, but is that right? I

01:01:05.690 --> 01:01:09.710
think it says on there. Ratio is 100%. I don't

01:01:09.710 --> 01:01:11.130
know what that means. What does that mean? I

01:01:11.130 --> 01:01:13.929
saw that too. What does 100 % ratio mean? I don't

01:01:13.929 --> 01:01:19.630
know. The mash bill is 72 corn, 13 rye, and 15

01:01:19.630 --> 01:01:22.570
is your malted barley. But it doesn't say of

01:01:22.570 --> 01:01:25.550
the 10 years. How many? I guess, you know, probably

01:01:25.550 --> 01:01:29.190
eight and two, if I were to guess. Eight years

01:01:29.190 --> 01:01:30.769
in the first barrel, two years in the second

01:01:30.769 --> 01:01:34.050
barrel. Who knows? Anyway, it's excellent. Oh,

01:01:34.110 --> 01:01:36.369
here we go. It says right there on the screen.

01:01:38.190 --> 01:01:40.710
Sorry, is this what we're talking about? 19 of

01:01:40.710 --> 01:01:43.070
the barrels will finish for two years in a new

01:01:43.070 --> 01:01:45.730
oak barrel, char one, and the remaining two barrels

01:01:45.730 --> 01:01:47.769
will age for slightly less, one year and eight

01:01:47.769 --> 01:01:50.179
months. But that can't be right. It's real convoluted.

01:01:50.179 --> 01:01:52.460
It's like these were eight years in this barrel

01:01:52.460 --> 01:01:54.199
and two years in that barrel, but they had two

01:01:54.199 --> 01:01:57.119
barrels, and some of them went eight and nine

01:01:57.119 --> 01:01:59.619
in this and nine in that and one in that, and

01:01:59.619 --> 01:02:02.360
then they mix them all together to make the small

01:02:02.360 --> 01:02:05.019
batch. But basically, it's a little convoluted,

01:02:05.019 --> 01:02:06.900
but I guess they're just trying to work on a

01:02:06.900 --> 01:02:09.809
formula that produced this taste. Well, they're

01:02:09.809 --> 01:02:12.090
doing the whole blending, right? The blending

01:02:12.090 --> 01:02:14.230
magic that some of these guys can do. Right.

01:02:14.349 --> 01:02:17.769
It's all a crapshoot sometimes. So I wonder if

01:02:17.769 --> 01:02:21.110
Hirsch distills their own stuff because they're

01:02:21.110 --> 01:02:23.050
at Bardstown or do they go get their stuff from

01:02:23.050 --> 01:02:26.869
Bardstown Bourbon Company? Does it say distilled?

01:02:26.929 --> 01:02:30.150
It's on the side. Does it say distilled or just

01:02:30.150 --> 01:02:34.849
like produced? Well, they're sourced from an

01:02:34.849 --> 01:02:37.269
undisclosed Kentucky distillery. Oh, so it is

01:02:37.269 --> 01:02:39.630
sourced. Okay. Right. They're in Bardstown. At

01:02:39.630 --> 01:02:42.190
least that's what it says on the bottle. So most

01:02:42.190 --> 01:02:43.690
likely, I mean, it could be Heaven Hill. They're

01:02:43.690 --> 01:02:45.969
in Bardstown. It says it's distilled and bottled

01:02:45.969 --> 01:02:50.429
by Hirsch. Distillers, Bardstown, Kentucky. Distilled

01:02:50.429 --> 01:02:55.170
and bottled by Hirsch. Nice. Okay. I get a lot

01:02:55.170 --> 01:02:57.889
of cinnamon and brown sugar on that nose. Cinnamon

01:02:57.889 --> 01:03:01.210
and brown sugar. That's really good. Cinnamon.

01:03:02.530 --> 01:03:08.460
Mabel, sure. So, hold on. I'm really digging

01:03:08.460 --> 01:03:11.599
this. Yeah, it's really good. All right, let's

01:03:11.599 --> 01:03:21.420
rate it. So. I give it a four. That's right in

01:03:21.420 --> 01:03:23.340
line with what I'm thinking, yeah. I'm thinking

01:03:23.340 --> 01:03:26.179
this is probably, what's the proof on this? 113.

01:03:26.579 --> 01:03:30.239
113. I mean, for that category. And it's very

01:03:30.239 --> 01:03:32.559
rich. Keep in mind, guys, it's very rich. It

01:03:32.559 --> 01:03:35.320
could easily be 120 plus proof, in my opinion.

01:03:35.920 --> 01:03:40.280
In terms of richness. I'm giving it a 7 .2. I

01:03:40.280 --> 01:03:43.380
was going to be in the 7 .2, 7 .3 range, so I'll

01:03:43.380 --> 01:03:47.420
go 7 .2 as well. Excellent. I'm giving it a 7

01:03:47.420 --> 01:03:50.739
.6. Ooh. Yeah, I'm enjoying it. You're likey.

01:03:51.039 --> 01:03:55.320
Hey, man, the double oak, it wheels me in every

01:03:55.320 --> 01:03:58.920
time. It kind of smooths things out, I think.

01:03:58.920 --> 01:04:01.800
It's very easy. Yeah. Very easy, 113. And look,

01:04:01.840 --> 01:04:04.159
we just opened it, so it is a little bit hotter

01:04:04.159 --> 01:04:06.809
than normal. I could drink the shit out of this.

01:04:06.809 --> 01:04:10.150
But this, this is good. I give it a 7 .6. I contemplated

01:04:10.150 --> 01:04:12.889
7 .8, but I could be convinced to go higher,

01:04:12.949 --> 01:04:19.730
yeah. It's excellent. All right. That was a win.

01:04:19.969 --> 01:04:23.369
That's a win for sure. Yeah. Very tasty. And

01:04:23.369 --> 01:04:25.210
I forget how much it cost, but I want to say

01:04:25.210 --> 01:04:28.010
it was 85 -ish. It wasn't cheap. That's for sure.

01:04:28.010 --> 01:04:29.929
They are proud of this one. And you know what?

01:04:29.989 --> 01:04:32.070
I get it. They should be. Well, you know, 00

01:04:32.070 --> 01:04:34.900
costs a little bit more to make. True. And 10

01:04:34.900 --> 01:04:37.380
years is a lot of time for them to sit and wait.

01:04:37.960 --> 01:04:42.199
Yes. It says the MSRP is $135. Wow. Did you pay

01:04:42.199 --> 01:04:44.679
that much for it? Hold on. I don't think so.

01:04:44.739 --> 01:04:49.559
That's a lot. I don't remember, actually. That's

01:04:49.559 --> 01:04:54.840
tough. I had the receipt, so whatever's on that

01:04:54.840 --> 01:04:57.360
thing. I don't remember how much it was. Yikes.

01:04:57.699 --> 01:05:01.159
I thought it was $85 -ish. I got an Irish whiskey

01:05:01.159 --> 01:05:04.929
out there. That was about that much, but the

01:05:04.929 --> 01:05:09.349
Nutter Jack? Oh, yeah, Nutter Jack. Only Drams

01:05:09.349 --> 01:05:12.690
is having issues with their bottle scanning feature

01:05:12.690 --> 01:05:15.329
right now, so I cannot do it. You're probably

01:05:15.329 --> 01:05:17.489
doing it wrong. Let me do it. If you're logged

01:05:17.489 --> 01:05:19.969
in, you can do it, but it's not loading on mine.

01:05:20.769 --> 01:05:24.170
The camera, the barcode scanner. Are you guys

01:05:24.170 --> 01:05:26.670
able to load into your Total Wine app? Yeah.

01:05:27.409 --> 01:05:30.099
When's the last time you did it? Yesterday. I

01:05:30.099 --> 01:05:32.440
tried doing it today, and it wanted me to reload

01:05:32.440 --> 01:05:36.539
my credentials. I have to do that every now and

01:05:36.539 --> 01:05:38.900
then. Well, it's the first time I've ever had

01:05:38.900 --> 01:05:41.460
to do it, so I'm like, God bless. That didn't

01:05:41.460 --> 01:05:44.320
take me long. Multiple bottles found. We found

01:05:44.320 --> 01:05:46.579
multiple bottles using the same SKU number and

01:05:46.579 --> 01:05:48.719
have different batch names or proof, alcohol

01:05:48.719 --> 01:05:51.679
content. Which one did you scan? The Hirsch single

01:05:51.679 --> 01:05:54.539
barrel double oak or the double oak single barrel

01:05:54.539 --> 01:05:58.300
bourbon? Yes. The first one. Well, hold on. It

01:05:58.300 --> 01:06:00.730
was Hirsch double barrel. Is there a proof on

01:06:00.730 --> 01:06:03.050
these? Okay, one says single barrel, double oak,

01:06:03.170 --> 01:06:06.630
and one says double oak, single barrel. Well,

01:06:06.690 --> 01:06:09.369
this is the single barrel Kentucky straight bourbon

01:06:09.369 --> 01:06:13.090
whiskey double oak. Is that in there? Okay, this

01:06:13.090 --> 01:06:19.070
one says it's a unicorn. Let me see. I've never

01:06:19.070 --> 01:06:22.289
seen the purple unicorn before. Yeah, that's

01:06:22.289 --> 01:06:26.090
it. Do we have a unicorn? Yeah, we've got one

01:06:26.090 --> 01:06:29.340
or two of them, yeah. What? Wow. I'm going to

01:06:29.340 --> 01:06:31.059
see if I can zoom in on the picture to make sure

01:06:31.059 --> 01:06:33.420
it's the picture we have here, but there we go.

01:06:34.659 --> 01:06:37.860
So we're using DRAM only. It's only DRAMs. Is

01:06:37.860 --> 01:06:40.480
it? Only DRAMs. It's a unicorn. It's an app,

01:06:40.639 --> 01:06:43.179
and we use it to track our whiskeys with our

01:06:43.179 --> 01:06:44.619
collection. So if you guys are interested in

01:06:44.619 --> 01:06:46.059
ever finding out what we have on the shelves

01:06:46.059 --> 01:06:50.980
here at the podcast studio, just DM us. I'm kind

01:06:50.980 --> 01:06:53.980
of taken aback right now. I don't think we've

01:06:53.980 --> 01:06:57.510
had a unicorn before. Yes, we have unicorns.

01:06:57.510 --> 01:07:08.769
Oh. I feel so foolish. My bad. Yes, we do. He's

01:07:08.769 --> 01:07:11.070
so dismissive, isn't he? Yes, we've got unicorns.

01:07:11.789 --> 01:07:14.809
We've got unicorns, you fucking idiot. Alright,

01:07:14.869 --> 01:07:16.889
well, hold on. Are you guys finding the unicorns

01:07:16.889 --> 01:07:21.010
that we have or not? We have .8 % unicorns. Yeah,

01:07:21.050 --> 01:07:25.360
but what are they? I don't know. I'm not asking

01:07:25.360 --> 01:07:27.039
because I feel so dumb right now and intimidated

01:07:27.039 --> 01:07:31.539
that I'm afraid to look stupid again. So I'm

01:07:31.539 --> 01:07:33.000
just going to stay quiet while you guys look

01:07:33.000 --> 01:07:36.119
for unicorns. Well, I do know that we're over

01:07:36.119 --> 01:07:42.239
$15 ,000. I want to hear that. I got 1 .2%. He

01:07:42.239 --> 01:07:46.739
just added this. That's why. Yeah, I just added

01:07:46.739 --> 01:07:50.659
it. Don't we want to? Yes. How many do we have

01:07:50.659 --> 01:07:53.469
that we haven't added to? Our OnlyDrams. Did

01:07:53.469 --> 01:07:56.030
we add all your... We added all... All your Advent

01:07:56.030 --> 01:08:00.769
ones? Yes, we added those. I bet you there's

01:08:00.769 --> 01:08:02.630
more out there we haven't added. There could

01:08:02.630 --> 01:08:03.789
be a couple out there that we haven't added.

01:08:03.789 --> 01:08:06.710
Damn, we haven't been diligent about this. Sean.

01:08:07.070 --> 01:08:09.130
Yeah, Sean. I blame you. What are you talking

01:08:09.130 --> 01:08:11.769
about? You're the OnlyDrams scanner. And we have

01:08:11.769 --> 01:08:14.690
bottles that we have tried that are not in our

01:08:14.690 --> 01:08:17.210
OnlyDrams account. My bad. That's unacceptable.

01:08:17.270 --> 01:08:21.500
I'll work on that. So, my bad. We'll start over

01:08:21.500 --> 01:08:22.859
and just scan them all from scratch. We just

01:08:22.859 --> 01:08:24.560
need to go in there and just take a look at them.

01:08:25.060 --> 01:08:26.659
Yeah, well, you know what? We do have a great

01:08:26.659 --> 01:08:28.239
collection. We do. And you know what? The fact

01:08:28.239 --> 01:08:30.220
that this is saying this is Unicorn only makes

01:08:30.220 --> 01:08:32.380
me think that, wow, this tastes even better now.

01:08:33.300 --> 01:08:35.520
Because it is good. I mean, we gave it a high,

01:08:35.579 --> 01:08:38.479
you know, sevens. Those are high scores. It matches

01:08:38.479 --> 01:08:40.960
what I've been hearing the buzz from, saying

01:08:40.960 --> 01:08:43.380
that this is hard to find. You can't find it

01:08:43.380 --> 01:08:45.140
right now. Well, just because it's a Unicorn

01:08:45.140 --> 01:08:49.220
doesn't mean it's great, right? Yeah. Hold on.

01:08:49.380 --> 01:08:51.340
It just means it's really hard to find. It just

01:08:51.340 --> 01:08:53.619
means it's hard to find. I'm not sure it always

01:08:53.619 --> 01:08:57.659
equates to being the best of the best. Just saying.

01:08:58.619 --> 01:09:01.520
Now, there is... Maybe. I don't know either.

01:09:01.619 --> 01:09:05.960
There is one more level above unicorn. Really?

01:09:06.439 --> 01:09:08.979
It's called impossible. Impossible. We have 0

01:09:08.979 --> 01:09:13.060
% of those. Oh, is that possible? Yeah. Impossible.

01:09:13.359 --> 01:09:17.710
We have no impossibles? No impossibles, no. So

01:09:17.710 --> 01:09:20.750
this week, we got the final week of the Fantasy

01:09:20.750 --> 01:09:23.310
Football League before we start the quarterfinals.

01:09:23.569 --> 01:09:25.949
Well. And we hear at the podcast. When I start

01:09:25.949 --> 01:09:28.369
the quarterfinals, you will not. Well, if I win

01:09:28.369 --> 01:09:30.609
this week, there's a chance that I may be in

01:09:30.609 --> 01:09:33.010
the quarterfinals. Interesting. Now, maybe. We'll

01:09:33.010 --> 01:09:34.689
see what happens. It'll be fun. Our podcast.

01:09:37.030 --> 01:09:40.210
Both Paul and Jeff are ranked number one and

01:09:40.210 --> 01:09:43.029
two. Yeah, we're really good. Jeff has been riding

01:09:43.029 --> 01:09:45.569
the number one seat all season long. All season

01:09:45.569 --> 01:09:47.869
until this week. I just dethroned you just this

01:09:47.869 --> 01:09:50.770
week. He just dethroned. But you know what? Everything

01:09:50.770 --> 01:09:53.229
can swap again. We're all really close. How many

01:09:53.229 --> 01:09:55.569
people? It's so frustrating. Actually, there's

01:09:55.569 --> 01:09:57.989
not many that have 10 and 3 records like we do.

01:09:58.609 --> 01:10:00.369
There's only two of us. Are there really only

01:10:00.369 --> 01:10:02.170
two that have 10 and 3 records? I think you're

01:10:02.170 --> 01:10:06.840
the only one with 10 and 3. I think I'm 9 -4

01:10:06.840 --> 01:10:10.279
now. You know, I don't want to toot my horn about

01:10:10.279 --> 01:10:13.500
how good I am with drafting and manage my team.

01:10:14.279 --> 01:10:17.560
It's just that I have a very, very deep breadth

01:10:17.560 --> 01:10:19.560
of knowledge. I think what it is is I've been

01:10:19.560 --> 01:10:22.319
in first place so long that when I go to look

01:10:22.319 --> 01:10:25.140
at the players, everyone at the bottom. of the

01:10:25.140 --> 01:10:27.260
league have already consumed all of the players

01:10:27.260 --> 01:10:28.819
that are out there. So when I go out there, there's

01:10:28.819 --> 01:10:30.180
nobody. Well, if you look at the transitions.

01:10:30.359 --> 01:10:32.579
I go weeks without drafting anybody. Yeah, because

01:10:32.579 --> 01:10:35.079
I'm like, everyone at the bottom has already

01:10:35.079 --> 01:10:36.880
been. You know what's killing me? My defense

01:10:36.880 --> 01:10:39.739
sucks. They average four to six points a game.

01:10:39.920 --> 01:10:43.300
Wow. And I'm still in third place in points and

01:10:43.300 --> 01:10:45.699
at the top of the league. Yeah, but that's mismanagement

01:10:45.699 --> 01:10:48.359
there. No, I draft people. That's not true. I

01:10:48.359 --> 01:10:51.439
draft people who look good. You're doing a poor

01:10:51.439 --> 01:10:57.430
job drafting them. No. I just picked up LBs all

01:10:57.430 --> 01:11:00.029
the time that are racking up 10 points. Look,

01:11:00.149 --> 01:11:03.869
if you look at the – is it called waivers when

01:11:03.869 --> 01:11:05.550
you do a transaction? Waiver wires, yes. If you

01:11:05.550 --> 01:11:07.789
look at the waiver wires, I mean, check out how

01:11:07.789 --> 01:11:11.109
many transactions have occurred through every

01:11:11.109 --> 01:11:13.630
person in the league. There's a lot. Yeah. Not

01:11:13.630 --> 01:11:15.670
me. There's a lot. Well, I mean, look, Barry,

01:11:15.770 --> 01:11:17.989
for example, has 10. So that's half his roster

01:11:17.989 --> 01:11:21.029
he's swapped out. Smart. I mean, but my point

01:11:21.029 --> 01:11:24.789
is, is that none of this – Your initial draft

01:11:24.789 --> 01:11:27.569
that you do, none of that matters because he

01:11:27.569 --> 01:11:30.770
swapped out 10, I swapped out 12. Yeah, but my

01:11:30.770 --> 01:11:34.630
draft has been large. My starters, I think one

01:11:34.630 --> 01:11:39.510
starter I picked up, Dart, the quarterback. That's

01:11:39.510 --> 01:11:41.770
probably the one starter I picked up during the

01:11:41.770 --> 01:11:44.189
regular season. I picked up Cooper Dijon as my

01:11:44.189 --> 01:11:49.699
quarterback because my other one got hurt. So

01:11:49.699 --> 01:11:52.020
I was like, well, I need somebody. So you've

01:11:52.020 --> 01:11:54.720
only picked up one this whole season? No, I picked

01:11:54.720 --> 01:11:59.699
up another kicker for the bye week, and then

01:11:59.699 --> 01:12:01.920
he gets fucking hurt and was out. So I was like,

01:12:01.979 --> 01:12:08.199
fuck. I had a rash of... IRs. People get hurt

01:12:08.199 --> 01:12:10.420
all week. I mean, I lost like three or four people

01:12:10.420 --> 01:12:12.520
the first week. It was ridiculous. Fantasy football,

01:12:12.739 --> 01:12:15.079
jumbo. Hey, man, we got to do a classic. Look,

01:12:15.119 --> 01:12:17.619
I want you very much to lose this week. No disrespect.

01:12:17.619 --> 01:12:20.119
I know you do. But it's my only way to get in

01:12:20.119 --> 01:12:23.260
there. And that doesn't even guarantee that I'm

01:12:23.260 --> 01:12:25.239
going to make the playoffs if I beat you. There

01:12:25.239 --> 01:12:26.500
has to be a couple other things that are going

01:12:26.500 --> 01:12:28.380
to happen, too. But I hope it works. Look, folks.

01:12:30.250 --> 01:12:32.130
I'm sorry. You got anything else? No, I think

01:12:32.130 --> 01:12:33.590
we're good. Thanks, Chuck, for staying on top

01:12:33.590 --> 01:12:37.390
of shit. December 2nd, 2025. Happy Christmas

01:12:37.390 --> 01:12:40.850
coming up really soon. We are neck deep in the

01:12:40.850 --> 01:12:43.130
holiday season. I love it. Balls deep. Love it.

01:12:43.189 --> 01:12:45.350
Dudes Like Us. I'm Sean. I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff.
