WEBVTT

00:00:02.859 --> 00:00:05.080
There you go. Look at that lava lamp. Oh, yeah.

00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:06.179
It's nice and undulating. Oh, it's very happy.

00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:08.960
Yeah. Oh, good one. Undulate. Did you turn that

00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:11.859
on at like two this afternoon? No. Chuck hit

00:00:11.859 --> 00:00:14.119
the switch when he walked in. When I arrived

00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:17.179
on time, I fired it up, and by the time the podcast

00:00:17.179 --> 00:00:19.379
was rolling, it was rolling. Yeah. It's a party

00:00:19.379 --> 00:00:20.879
in that. You had to add that little I arrived

00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:22.760
on time. What are you saying? I'm saying, you

00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:25.199
know. We were late. Yeah. Yeah. Chuck and I were

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:26.940
halfway through the first episode before you

00:00:26.940 --> 00:00:34.070
guys arrived. We had time to cuddle. Wow. I don't

00:00:34.070 --> 00:00:37.810
remember any of that. December 9, 2025. It's

00:00:37.810 --> 00:00:39.270
the second half of the Dudes Like Us podcast.

00:00:40.250 --> 00:00:42.250
We do have a jam -packed one. Check us out on

00:00:42.250 --> 00:00:44.289
Facebook and Instagram, dudeslikeus .podcast.

00:00:44.490 --> 00:00:47.109
I'm Sean. I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff. You know, one

00:00:47.109 --> 00:00:49.350
thing we missed, I think because our podcast,

00:00:49.609 --> 00:00:53.929
where it fell, is December 7th. Pearl Harbor.

00:00:54.090 --> 00:00:56.789
Yeah. And you know what? That was on a Sunday.

00:00:57.469 --> 00:01:00.229
And none of the football games said a word about

00:01:00.229 --> 00:01:02.770
it. How crazy. It was completely skipped this

00:01:02.770 --> 00:01:06.590
year by everything. Yeah. I think the only reason

00:01:06.590 --> 00:01:08.489
I realize it, I think it's Stephen said something

00:01:08.489 --> 00:01:11.989
to me. That's unforgivable because that needs

00:01:11.989 --> 00:01:14.510
to be an unforgettable moment, just like 9 -11.

00:01:14.750 --> 00:01:18.250
Even more so than 9 -11. Yeah. Is it just the...

00:01:18.250 --> 00:01:21.109
I didn't understand that at all. The farther

00:01:21.109 --> 00:01:23.590
we get away from it? I think it is. Five years

00:01:23.590 --> 00:01:27.599
ago. I mean, do we have Holocaust Day? Well,

00:01:27.620 --> 00:01:29.760
that was not a day. You get what I'm saying,

00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:35.159
but my point is, is there a date? A time that

00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:37.480
has to elapse before you start to like, okay,

00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:39.420
well, I don't want to do that anymore. I hope

00:01:39.420 --> 00:01:43.439
not. I mean, we still have veterans that fought

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.319
in it, alive. Yeah, I think that if a veteran

00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.260
is still alive. I think the last one just died,

00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.879
didn't they? The very last one? I saw that. I

00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:56.019
think it was just an Arizona shipment. Maybe

00:01:56.019 --> 00:01:57.519
that's what it was. They got reunited with the

00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:59.640
ship. Apparently, they put down the remains on

00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:03.620
the ship. Oh, nice. Yeah. Yeah, if you're on

00:02:03.620 --> 00:02:05.459
there, you have the ability... I'll turn that

00:02:05.459 --> 00:02:08.340
off. You have the ability to be buried on the

00:02:08.340 --> 00:02:11.719
Arizona. Oh, wow. That's very cool. Yeah, I'm

00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:13.800
sure they... You've had the extreme privilege

00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.319
of being there. Yeah, we were there on December

00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.979
6th last year, the day before Pearl Harbor Day.

00:02:20.060 --> 00:02:22.580
Yeah. And... Gallivanting, watching pregnant

00:02:22.580 --> 00:02:26.560
storks. Oh. I'd probably get storks. Wasn't there

00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:27.939
a bird you were with? There were some birds.

00:02:28.139 --> 00:02:30.699
Somebody out there? The oldest bird to have another

00:02:30.699 --> 00:02:34.120
baby? I don't know if it was a stork, but maybe

00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:36.159
it was a pigeon. Oh, it was a seagull or something

00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:37.599
like that. A seagull, yeah. Yeah, that's right.

00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:39.860
Yeah, so we went and it was overcast. That's

00:02:39.860 --> 00:02:42.539
what you remember from his stories? I remember

00:02:42.539 --> 00:02:46.180
the super secret submarine that went by and nobody

00:02:46.180 --> 00:02:48.479
was allowed to take pictures. Oh, yeah. The military.

00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:51.280
I do remember a fat seagull. The military guy

00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.889
yelled at the people that were... video yeah

00:02:54.889 --> 00:02:57.830
they said yeah stand down yeah i mean he was

00:02:57.830 --> 00:02:59.530
and they had guns trained on him there was like

00:02:59.530 --> 00:03:01.710
little red dots going like this it was just all

00:03:01.710 --> 00:03:04.370
over the place snipers from the trees charlie's

00:03:04.370 --> 00:03:09.150
in the trees no but uh it was it was very very

00:03:09.150 --> 00:03:10.770
cool there if you guys ever make it out there

00:03:10.770 --> 00:03:12.750
it was very cool that needs to be a bucket list

00:03:12.750 --> 00:03:15.210
and there's always normandy i need to go to normandy

00:03:15.210 --> 00:03:18.289
yeah and there's people out there who were laughing

00:03:18.289 --> 00:03:22.490
it up and all that shit. Disrespectfully or what

00:03:22.490 --> 00:03:23.969
do you mean? Just having a good time, right?

00:03:24.030 --> 00:03:25.490
You know, joking, you know, going like this,

00:03:25.530 --> 00:03:27.250
look at this, look at this video. Yeah, but that's

00:03:27.250 --> 00:03:29.830
a solemn place. It is. That's like walking through

00:03:29.830 --> 00:03:32.710
a grave, like a cemetery. I don't have a desire

00:03:32.710 --> 00:03:34.710
to do that. You don't? I don't. Walk through

00:03:34.710 --> 00:03:38.849
a cemetery? Not to go to the Pearl Harbor exhibit

00:03:38.849 --> 00:03:42.060
out there. I don't know. It doesn't spark an

00:03:42.060 --> 00:03:45.539
interest to me. I've traveled and been to some

00:03:45.539 --> 00:03:48.199
of those places, like St. of Old Cemetery in

00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:51.479
France and seen the battle stuff there. And it

00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:55.300
was cool. But at the same time, if I'm going

00:03:55.300 --> 00:03:57.439
to go do something, it's not going to be that.

00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.520
Well, that was part of what we were doing. I'm

00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:02.539
very limited about the things that I could do.

00:04:03.460 --> 00:04:09.419
Sean, did you go to Auschwitz? Probably. You

00:04:09.419 --> 00:04:11.020
know, I went to the salt mines out there. That

00:04:11.020 --> 00:04:13.759
was kind of cool in Germany. Salt mines are really

00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:17.500
cool. You can get on these little carts. Carts

00:04:17.500 --> 00:04:20.079
like Indy? Well, they're carts. Like Indiana

00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:28.889
Jones. They really were. But they were longer.

00:04:29.529 --> 00:04:31.589
They were like toboggans, so to speak. And you

00:04:31.589 --> 00:04:34.430
sit on it kind of like a horseback style. You

00:04:34.430 --> 00:04:36.470
put your feet on. There's a long bench. You all

00:04:36.470 --> 00:04:39.250
straddle it. You sit close to each other. So

00:04:39.250 --> 00:04:42.870
they got 10 people on this missile, and it's

00:04:42.870 --> 00:04:44.930
being pulled through the salt mines. It was kind

00:04:44.930 --> 00:04:46.370
of cool. Is that where they get Himalayan salt?

00:04:47.389 --> 00:04:51.490
Possibly. But they made you dress up in these

00:04:51.490 --> 00:04:53.750
outfits. You had to put special clothes on. You

00:04:53.750 --> 00:04:56.110
couldn't wear civilian clothes down there. Would

00:04:56.110 --> 00:04:58.649
you salt like it? While you straddled this when

00:04:58.649 --> 00:05:03.009
you were in a kilt? No. Were you splayed? You

00:05:03.009 --> 00:05:07.810
had full body. You were dressed. You had special

00:05:07.810 --> 00:05:10.449
stuff on. Like protective gear. Yeah. They didn't

00:05:10.449 --> 00:05:12.209
want you. Either you or your clothes getting

00:05:12.209 --> 00:05:14.290
affected, or they didn't want you affecting the

00:05:14.290 --> 00:05:16.110
salt mine. I don't know. Either one. Well, it's

00:05:16.110 --> 00:05:18.709
kind of like some of the famous caverns that

00:05:18.709 --> 00:05:21.500
you go through, the stalagmites. You're not allowed

00:05:21.500 --> 00:05:22.860
to touch those. They don't want you touching

00:05:22.860 --> 00:05:25.899
them. Right. Because the skin. The oils. Yeah,

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.639
oil and acid on your fingers. What do you mean?

00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:30.620
You got a half a million people touching it.

00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:32.920
That's bullshit. You know, and eventually it's

00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:34.560
going to, you know. Those things took a million

00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:36.920
years to make. It's going to take a million years

00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:39.040
to break down, even if a million people touch

00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:41.199
it. No, I don't think so. It'll make them nasty,

00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:43.699
though. That's probably the reason. What about

00:05:43.699 --> 00:05:45.579
the Boy Scout? Look at Paul. Do you want him

00:05:45.579 --> 00:05:48.379
touching that? Yeah, but what about the Boy Scout

00:05:48.379 --> 00:05:51.910
in Yosemite? knocked over the little thing that

00:05:51.910 --> 00:05:54.389
was hanging there for a thousand years. A Boy

00:05:54.389 --> 00:05:56.410
Scout did this? Yeah. What did he knock over?

00:05:56.589 --> 00:05:59.230
It was some rock that was... The balancing rock?

00:05:59.449 --> 00:06:01.689
Yeah, a rock formation. There's a balancing rock

00:06:01.689 --> 00:06:03.529
in Texas and somebody knocked that shit over.

00:06:03.529 --> 00:06:06.189
Yeah, exactly. Some fucking tourist leaned against

00:06:06.189 --> 00:06:09.250
it and knocked it over. God, he's lucky he didn't

00:06:09.250 --> 00:06:11.689
fucking crush him. Well, yeah. Did you see...

00:06:11.689 --> 00:06:14.529
I think I sent you the story that Chernobyl is

00:06:14.529 --> 00:06:16.810
kind of problematic again. Yeah, what is up with

00:06:16.810 --> 00:06:20.050
that? Gosh, that can be terrifying if that's

00:06:20.050 --> 00:06:23.269
true. It is true, first of all, because it's

00:06:23.269 --> 00:06:27.790
decomposing as we speak. Well, the entire European

00:06:27.790 --> 00:06:30.949
Union, I believe, pitched in to pay for this

00:06:30.949 --> 00:06:35.009
containment shield dome thing that would last

00:06:35.009 --> 00:06:38.670
who knows how long. Well, Russia decides to drone

00:06:38.670 --> 00:06:43.470
strike it. Oh, my God. And now it's not. shielded

00:06:43.470 --> 00:06:45.230
anymore. Doesn't that have the potential of killing

00:06:45.230 --> 00:06:47.970
millions if it gets blown into Europe? I mean,

00:06:47.990 --> 00:06:51.050
what? Yeah, it could be problematic. Why are

00:06:51.050 --> 00:06:53.069
people not freaking out about this? Well, maybe

00:06:53.069 --> 00:06:55.689
they are. It'll do more than that. It'll consume

00:06:55.689 --> 00:06:59.970
a big portion of the globe. In parts, for sure.

00:07:00.129 --> 00:07:02.629
Well, I know you, Sean, you never watched that

00:07:02.629 --> 00:07:06.790
show, the Chernobyl. Oh, it freaks me out. You

00:07:06.790 --> 00:07:08.730
have to watch it. It's really good. It's so good.

00:07:08.829 --> 00:07:11.410
I won't watch it. Oh, you're missing out. But

00:07:11.410 --> 00:07:14.459
they give some You understand how close it came.

00:07:14.779 --> 00:07:17.939
Basically, Eastern Europe would have been uninhabitable

00:07:17.939 --> 00:07:21.060
because it almost melted down to the water table,

00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:25.860
which goes into Eastern Europe. And all the water

00:07:25.860 --> 00:07:29.399
in Eastern Europe would have been contaminated

00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:32.120
for how long? Thousands of years. It would have

00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:35.399
been awful. So it was very close to melting down

00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:38.420
that far. And somebody went down there. Did they

00:07:38.420 --> 00:07:41.839
cap it or something? Yeah, they had to dig under

00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:46.439
it. And concrete under it to contain it in case

00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.639
it got loose. Because it would have gotten to

00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:52.259
the groundwater and everything. Yeah, but remember

00:07:52.259 --> 00:07:54.019
those guys were basically sent to their death.

00:07:54.100 --> 00:07:56.000
Correct. All the miners that were doing that.

00:07:56.019 --> 00:07:58.000
They knew they were going to die. Yeah. And the

00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:02.279
video of the helicopter. Disintegrating. I think

00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:04.399
that's a little bit of fiction, though. Is it?

00:08:04.500 --> 00:08:08.459
Yeah. The radiation did not down that helicopter,

00:08:08.660 --> 00:08:10.240
but the helicopter did go down because it got

00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:12.100
caught in some wires of a crane or something.

00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:14.319
Oh, it was a wire? Yeah, because it did happen.

00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:17.180
The helicopter crashed. The crash did happen.

00:08:17.180 --> 00:08:19.279
They showed the metal disintegrating and the

00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:20.740
whole thing just kind of melted. That was not

00:08:20.740 --> 00:08:23.360
like an energy weapon coming out of there. I

00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:25.439
don't remember that. It might be tough for you

00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:27.959
to watch it, Sean, but I wholeheartedly recommend

00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:30.540
it. It's one of the best. I've heard Jeff describe

00:08:30.540 --> 00:08:34.799
it in detail. And that's good enough to me because,

00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:38.299
you know, it's a disaster. And I don't like that

00:08:38.299 --> 00:08:41.139
kind of stuff. Yeah, I get it. I know enough

00:08:41.139 --> 00:08:44.039
about it to where it's fine. And I know it's

00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:47.679
challenging. When people give their life for

00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.700
the greater of all, the greater good, I mean,

00:08:50.700 --> 00:08:52.620
those guys that were down there digging and putting

00:08:52.620 --> 00:08:57.200
the concrete down there, that's biblical. Oh,

00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:01.200
yeah. No, they were. They knew it. Well, actually,

00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:04.340
did they know it? Not at first. But then they

00:09:04.340 --> 00:09:06.500
knew. Well, yeah, when they were like, hey, my

00:09:06.500 --> 00:09:08.639
dick just fell off. Well, I'll tell you who didn't

00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:10.820
know were the firemen. That was, I think, the

00:09:10.820 --> 00:09:12.860
hardest thing to watch. The firemen who responded,

00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.799
they essentially melted over the course of a

00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:18.980
few days in the hospital. They were at the worst

00:09:18.980 --> 00:09:22.580
radiated area. I mean, they're freaking holding

00:09:22.580 --> 00:09:27.899
pieces of the core that exploded. And they're

00:09:27.899 --> 00:09:30.600
like, wow, what the hell is this stuff? Dude,

00:09:31.059 --> 00:09:36.120
awful. It's bad. I didn't see a whole lot of

00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:39.080
elaboration on a timeline for the degradation

00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:42.100
of that cover. Well, it just happened, I think.

00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:44.299
I haven't seen anything beyond that, so I don't

00:09:44.299 --> 00:09:50.600
know what happened. What's it say? February 14th?

00:09:50.620 --> 00:09:52.980
Yeah, the report I'm getting from AI says it

00:09:52.980 --> 00:09:55.580
was earlier this year, so the reporting might

00:09:55.580 --> 00:09:58.629
be new, and they just... I don't know. Oh, so

00:09:58.629 --> 00:10:01.889
the strike created a hole in the outer. Was that

00:10:01.889 --> 00:10:04.230
a cladding? Cladding, yeah. Cladding leading

00:10:04.230 --> 00:10:07.009
to a fire in the insulation. It's the exterior

00:10:07.009 --> 00:10:10.549
veneer. Smoldered for nearly three weeks requiring

00:10:10.549 --> 00:10:13.509
emergency workers. Wow. We're throwing out all

00:10:13.509 --> 00:10:15.429
sorts of fancy terms here. Yeah, no kidding.

00:10:15.710 --> 00:10:19.610
The roof got damaged. Go ahead. So loss of functionality.

00:10:20.190 --> 00:10:25.929
Oh, current status as of December 2025. The IAEA

00:10:25.929 --> 00:10:29.350
announced that the NSC lost its primary safety

00:10:29.350 --> 00:10:31.809
functions, including the confinement capability.

00:10:32.909 --> 00:10:35.330
Due to the February attack. Correct. Oh, so they

00:10:35.330 --> 00:10:38.269
have been doing an investigation this whole time?

00:10:38.389 --> 00:10:40.129
Yeah. So urgent repairs needed. Director General

00:10:40.129 --> 00:10:43.110
Rafael Gossi stressed that the timely and comprehensive

00:10:43.110 --> 00:10:46.389
restoration remains essential to prevent further

00:10:46.389 --> 00:10:49.090
degradation. The challenges are permanent repairs

00:10:49.090 --> 00:10:51.289
are difficult to do with radiation, and experts

00:10:51.289 --> 00:10:53.889
are working on temporary fixes while planning

00:10:53.889 --> 00:10:55.309
on long -term solutions, according to the New

00:10:55.309 --> 00:10:59.110
York Times. And Al Jazeera. So the NSC is a new

00:10:59.110 --> 00:11:01.490
safe confinement structure. It's a really technical

00:11:01.490 --> 00:11:03.909
term. You know, I don't really know how they're

00:11:03.909 --> 00:11:07.049
going to do it. I would suspect that they're

00:11:07.049 --> 00:11:10.129
going to use some sort of a polymer epoxy, some

00:11:10.129 --> 00:11:13.649
sort of, I mean, I don't know. What do you use,

00:11:13.750 --> 00:11:15.649
lead? I don't know. Isn't lead good for blockage?

00:11:15.690 --> 00:11:18.149
Look at that. There's a fucking hole in the,

00:11:18.230 --> 00:11:21.269
I mean, they really did a drone strike. Are you

00:11:21.269 --> 00:11:24.669
kidding me? Next to, how stupid can Russia be?

00:11:25.890 --> 00:11:28.169
Well, pretty stupid apparently. I don't know.

00:11:28.309 --> 00:11:29.649
I mean, do they not think it's going to affect

00:11:29.649 --> 00:11:32.490
them as well? I mean, obviously they didn't mean

00:11:32.490 --> 00:11:35.629
to do it, but I mean, come on. I think I remember

00:11:35.629 --> 00:11:38.009
this happening back in February and then it was

00:11:38.009 --> 00:11:39.850
quiet until recently when they finally made the

00:11:39.850 --> 00:11:43.250
announcement that, yeah, it's stopped working.

00:11:43.690 --> 00:11:47.190
It's not containing it anymore. Well, you know.

00:11:48.050 --> 00:11:50.750
Oh, my God. That's pretty crazy. Talk about playing

00:11:50.750 --> 00:11:52.750
with fire. How do you solution that? I mean,

00:11:52.769 --> 00:11:56.370
there's got to be a solution to chemically alter

00:11:56.370 --> 00:11:59.769
the nuclear radiation. You would think that you

00:11:59.769 --> 00:12:02.210
should be able to neutralize it. Kind of like

00:12:02.210 --> 00:12:09.230
someone getting ODing on fentanyl and you get

00:12:09.230 --> 00:12:11.669
Narcan. I mean, there should be some sort of

00:12:11.669 --> 00:12:14.149
yin -yang kind of mix to that. Apparently not.

00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:16.279
Yeah, apparently not. That we know of. I mean,

00:12:16.299 --> 00:12:18.740
God knows how much they spent building this containment.

00:12:19.139 --> 00:12:23.940
It said 1 .3 billion euros. Right. Which is more

00:12:23.940 --> 00:12:26.039
than dollars. And that was not just one country.

00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:28.139
That's how much we spent on food stamps. The

00:12:28.139 --> 00:12:31.179
whole world chipped in. Yeah, Jerry World. Yeah,

00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.419
that's the Jerry World Dome. We're just going

00:12:33.419 --> 00:12:37.139
to start calling it Chernobyl. Maybe you can

00:12:37.139 --> 00:12:38.879
play football games in there. I don't know. And

00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:40.980
you know the sad thing is they're getting nowhere

00:12:40.980 --> 00:12:43.139
with this peace thing. They're getting nowhere.

00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:44.860
And Trump's about to walk away because he's like,

00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:46.860
I've done everything I can here. Well, I mean,

00:12:46.899 --> 00:12:50.019
Zelensky, he's like, well, we can go ahead and

00:12:50.019 --> 00:12:52.799
vote. Well, he's balked, I thought. I thought

00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:54.100
I saw a headline where he's like, yeah, we're

00:12:54.100 --> 00:12:57.919
not giving any. Territory. So that's, you know.

00:12:58.220 --> 00:13:00.399
I thought. That's a non -starter for Russia.

00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:02.580
Well, I thought he had an initial agreement with

00:13:02.580 --> 00:13:04.480
them. I thought so, too. And then they went to

00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:08.059
Putin and they made some adjustments. And I guess

00:13:08.059 --> 00:13:10.320
maybe what he came back with is here's what it

00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:14.110
is. And he. Said no to that, maybe. I don't know.

00:13:14.169 --> 00:13:15.929
It doesn't look good, though. Well, Ukraine's

00:13:15.929 --> 00:13:17.889
President Zelensky stated he's ready for the

00:13:17.889 --> 00:13:19.970
elections after President Trump suggested it

00:13:19.970 --> 00:13:23.610
was time for a vote, while a wider rift grows

00:13:23.610 --> 00:13:25.870
between Trump and the European leaders over this

00:13:25.870 --> 00:13:29.309
whole Ukraine bullshit. Crazy. And rightfully

00:13:29.309 --> 00:13:31.169
so, because you know what? It's not our fight.

00:13:32.029 --> 00:13:34.850
It's not our fight, but yet we have an investment

00:13:34.850 --> 00:13:36.789
over there, so we have to protect our assets

00:13:36.789 --> 00:13:38.529
because it's an investment. So what are we getting

00:13:38.529 --> 00:13:41.440
in return? Minerals, mineral rights. And what

00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.299
else are we doing with that? What about the investigations

00:13:43.299 --> 00:13:44.960
of where the money went in the first place? Where

00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:49.799
are the trillion dollars that we flew over there?

00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:52.820
I hear you. I mean, I would suspect it would

00:13:52.820 --> 00:13:57.840
be close to a trillion now. I don't think so.

00:13:58.220 --> 00:14:01.019
Oh, hold on. Was it $600 billion or $100 billion?

00:14:01.419 --> 00:14:03.759
It was $100 billion. Like $100 billion, maybe

00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:07.320
$180 billion. Well, regardless. A lot of damn

00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:10.620
money. And that's our money. Yeah, our taxpayers'

00:14:10.860 --> 00:14:13.220
money that we went over there unchecked, and

00:14:13.220 --> 00:14:16.019
none of that's been addressed. And I know Trump

00:14:16.019 --> 00:14:18.879
can't do everything, but at the same time, we

00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.559
have to get our ducks in a row and figure this

00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:25.159
stuff out. And I don't know if it's these little

00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:30.110
tiny agencies. uh in the executive branch of

00:14:30.110 --> 00:14:33.330
the office that are purposely stunting these

00:14:33.330 --> 00:14:35.870
investigations and maybe that's why trump's like

00:14:35.870 --> 00:14:39.490
hey man i'm the head executor i need to have

00:14:39.490 --> 00:14:42.970
control over these individual uh agencies and

00:14:42.970 --> 00:14:45.190
i can't even fire these guys i'm the only elected

00:14:45.190 --> 00:14:47.750
official here but yet i can't fire anybody on

00:14:47.750 --> 00:14:49.370
the executive branch and that's what the supreme

00:14:49.370 --> 00:14:51.529
court's looking into right now yeah i thought

00:14:51.529 --> 00:14:53.230
they were close to a decision and they and they

00:14:53.230 --> 00:14:55.799
were leaning towards I thought it was in his

00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:58.240
favor. I don't know. It should be in his favor.

00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:00.100
That's the whole thing. I mean, if this were

00:15:00.100 --> 00:15:05.179
a Democrat, it doesn't matter who it is. It should

00:15:05.179 --> 00:15:08.960
be the president's job to be able to terminate

00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:11.059
people that aren't elected, especially if they're

00:15:11.059 --> 00:15:13.779
fucking up. Well, I think it's a matter of they

00:15:13.779 --> 00:15:18.299
should be neutral. And if your organization is

00:15:18.299 --> 00:15:20.080
doing a good job, regardless of the president,

00:15:20.220 --> 00:15:23.299
there's no need to fire you. Right. But if you're...

00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:26.840
purposely standing in the way of getting the

00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:29.480
agenda done, there's an opportunity to say, okay,

00:15:29.539 --> 00:15:33.620
well, you're fired because you're not being independent.

00:15:34.019 --> 00:15:37.299
Right. But you realize what's happening here,

00:15:37.379 --> 00:15:41.120
right? So, I mean, we run the risk of every single

00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:43.919
time we have a new president where there's a

00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.320
switch in the party, they're going to clean house

00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:50.019
from every agency and put in their... and put

00:15:50.019 --> 00:15:52.860
in their own hat. And that's okay. I'm okay with

00:15:52.860 --> 00:15:55.960
that. That makes our government even more ineffective.

00:15:56.100 --> 00:15:58.840
You know what, though? I wish they would do is

00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:00.460
they do the same thing with Congress and the

00:16:00.460 --> 00:16:04.559
Senate. Stop re -electing these guys. You're

00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:07.059
one -time term. I don't even think they should

00:16:07.059 --> 00:16:08.799
do two. I mean, it kind of stinks to say that.

00:16:08.899 --> 00:16:10.080
Oh, you mean term limits for the bureaucrats?

00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:14.210
Yeah, term limits on them. If your job is over,

00:16:14.289 --> 00:16:17.789
it's over. If you provide a function for an agency,

00:16:18.250 --> 00:16:20.789
then when you get hired, it should have an expiration

00:16:20.789 --> 00:16:23.769
date. Or if it's one of these jobs like, well,

00:16:23.809 --> 00:16:25.870
you know what, you're doing a good job, and we're

00:16:25.870 --> 00:16:28.470
going to hire you to do this job, and it's a

00:16:28.470 --> 00:16:31.269
salary job, and it goes on forever. Well, that's

00:16:31.269 --> 00:16:32.950
what it is now. I mean, keep in mind that the

00:16:32.950 --> 00:16:35.009
United States government is the largest employer

00:16:35.009 --> 00:16:38.580
in the United States. It has like 1 .3 million

00:16:38.580 --> 00:16:41.639
employees. When you get hired, it shouldn't be

00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:46.240
in perpetuity. Just like when we're in public

00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:49.460
life, right? So if I'm not good at my job, like

00:16:49.460 --> 00:16:51.120
I got laid off last year. You've been laid off

00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:55.639
several times. If we don't do our job right or

00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:58.519
if the company decides, hey, we need to cut funds

00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:02.500
or whatever, you're gone. These people in the

00:17:02.500 --> 00:17:05.009
government. They see this as a gravy trade. Oh,

00:17:05.009 --> 00:17:06.890
I just got hired. I'm hired for life. I can sit

00:17:06.890 --> 00:17:09.329
there and pick my asshole all day long. Can't

00:17:09.329 --> 00:17:11.490
be fired. They can't fire me. Can't be reprimanded.

00:17:11.490 --> 00:17:15.750
Yeah. I hear you. There needs to be, yeah, it's

00:17:15.750 --> 00:17:20.849
tricky because I want Supreme Court to go in

00:17:20.849 --> 00:17:22.329
Trump's favor. I do, because it's ridiculous

00:17:22.329 --> 00:17:25.529
that he can't have the right people in place

00:17:25.529 --> 00:17:29.309
to do the things that he believes the country

00:17:29.309 --> 00:17:32.740
needs. Well, I think of it this way. I think

00:17:32.740 --> 00:17:37.319
logistically a president cannot fire all of them.

00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:39.160
I think he's going to have to pick and choose.

00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:41.119
You mean like Reagan did all to the air traffic

00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:43.960
controllers? Well, that was one organization,

00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:45.900
right? So if you're talking about he could do

00:17:45.900 --> 00:17:49.099
this to all these organizations, all right, everyone's

00:17:49.099 --> 00:17:51.420
fired. I don't think that's logistically possible

00:17:51.420 --> 00:17:53.759
to then go, okay, now I need to go rehire everybody.

00:17:54.099 --> 00:17:55.839
Didn't he discontinue the Department of Education?

00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:59.200
Yeah, I was going to say, he's done a lot of,

00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:01.480
there were tons of layoffs. He has. And then

00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:04.019
suddenly now they've hit a roadblock on this

00:18:04.019 --> 00:18:06.680
one because I guess this organization or agency

00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:10.259
is considered independent. I don't know. What's

00:18:10.259 --> 00:18:12.940
different? What has happened? Or they just, they

00:18:12.940 --> 00:18:14.940
have filed a lawsuit. Or did they put a pause

00:18:14.940 --> 00:18:17.710
on his firings until the Supreme Court? That's

00:18:17.710 --> 00:18:19.769
probably what happened. Maybe. They put a pause

00:18:19.769 --> 00:18:21.109
that says, all right, you can't fire anybody.

00:18:21.569 --> 00:18:23.730
We've got to stop the bloodbath. Now the Supreme

00:18:23.730 --> 00:18:25.589
Court's going to make a final ruling on it, maybe.

00:18:25.849 --> 00:18:28.829
Right, maybe. It's all nuts. I mean, who the

00:18:28.829 --> 00:18:31.009
fuck do they think they are to overrule the president

00:18:31.009 --> 00:18:34.089
on these things? Constantly. It's just like activist

00:18:34.089 --> 00:18:36.369
judges are shutting him down left and right.

00:18:36.609 --> 00:18:38.690
Yeah, and I don't think his intent is to fire

00:18:38.690 --> 00:18:41.210
everybody. It's a, you're the leader of this

00:18:41.210 --> 00:18:44.910
organization, and you're a political hack. You've

00:18:44.910 --> 00:18:47.390
been in there for too long. and you're not doing

00:18:47.390 --> 00:18:49.390
your job anymore, you're gone. Everyone else.

00:18:49.529 --> 00:18:51.910
Or he's putting policies in place and they're

00:18:51.910 --> 00:18:54.470
circumventing them. Correct. Then you're fired.

00:18:54.609 --> 00:18:57.150
Sorry. You're the leader. You're gone. That's

00:18:57.150 --> 00:18:59.990
right. Next man up. I'm 100 % for it. Right.

00:19:00.089 --> 00:19:04.210
In addition to the Supreme Court working on this,

00:19:04.329 --> 00:19:07.490
they're also trying to alter or kind of make

00:19:07.490 --> 00:19:11.359
an amendment to our 14th Amendment. Regarding

00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:14.180
birthright. Birthright. Birthright. Citizenship

00:19:14.180 --> 00:19:17.279
undocumented. This is a big deal, guys, because

00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:19.299
I don't think this has ever reached the point

00:19:19.299 --> 00:19:22.220
where the Supreme Court has looked at this. No

00:19:22.220 --> 00:19:25.000
lawsuit has made it to this level, and this is

00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:27.599
a huge deal. This is one of the biggest motivators

00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:30.680
for illegal people to get to this country. They

00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:32.980
come. We have a pregnant woman who's desperate

00:19:32.980 --> 00:19:35.980
to step across the border because, boom. Now

00:19:35.980 --> 00:19:37.880
my child is a U .S. citizen. My child is a U

00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:41.660
.S. citizen, and he or she can bring everybody

00:19:41.660 --> 00:19:44.480
over. It's chain migration. They're called anchor

00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:46.759
babies. Right, anchor babies. And it's ridiculous.

00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:48.660
I don't think any other country in the world

00:19:48.660 --> 00:19:51.200
allows this. Hold on, Chuck. They said that there

00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:53.619
is, like the U .K. But they don't count because

00:19:53.619 --> 00:19:57.119
they're stupid. They are stupid these days. Some

00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:59.430
other countries do this too. Sean's getting at.

00:19:59.549 --> 00:20:04.069
Yeah, but it's wrong. When the United States

00:20:04.069 --> 00:20:08.329
soldiers are over anywhere, overseas, in Africa,

00:20:08.609 --> 00:20:12.289
a child is born, they don't get dual citizenship.

00:20:12.490 --> 00:20:15.250
Are they on a base? Is that American territory?

00:20:15.730 --> 00:20:20.430
I don't think. I don't know. the specifics about

00:20:20.430 --> 00:20:23.589
it but i do know other military brats that were

00:20:23.589 --> 00:20:25.990
born over there yeah and they don't have dual

00:20:25.990 --> 00:20:28.750
citizenship right because it was on a base right

00:20:28.750 --> 00:20:31.069
yeah they're probably born like a like a diplomat

00:20:31.069 --> 00:20:33.710
kind of thing or if you're on a base that's american

00:20:33.710 --> 00:20:36.809
embassy i don't know i'm not sure if that matters

00:20:36.809 --> 00:20:39.190
as much as i think in a lot of cases when you're

00:20:39.190 --> 00:20:42.589
born in a foreign country you you have the option

00:20:42.589 --> 00:20:45.769
like you can apply for dual citizenship if you

00:20:45.769 --> 00:20:48.430
want i mean but it's not automatic Well, I'll

00:20:48.430 --> 00:20:52.990
tell you, the guy who worked for me was a UK

00:20:52.990 --> 00:20:54.430
citizen. He grew up there. He was born there,

00:20:54.450 --> 00:20:57.650
grew there. He came over here in the late 90s,

00:20:57.650 --> 00:21:01.390
met his wife, had kids, and his kids have dual

00:21:01.390 --> 00:21:04.049
citizenship. Right. He went over there and he

00:21:04.049 --> 00:21:08.470
wanted to make sure that his kids had UK citizenship

00:21:08.470 --> 00:21:11.130
in case they ever decided to move there. Right.

00:21:11.329 --> 00:21:14.309
Right. Which was a possibility at one time, maybe.

00:21:14.430 --> 00:21:16.529
Sure. To take care of his parents and stuff like

00:21:16.529 --> 00:21:19.059
that. So he wanted the opportunity for his kids,

00:21:19.140 --> 00:21:20.880
or when they get older, if they wanted to move

00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:23.259
over there. And did he end up becoming a U .S.

00:21:23.299 --> 00:21:27.440
citizen as well? He did. He had a green card

00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:33.480
for a long time, and he was going to take the

00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:36.299
test. This was like 10 years ago. But you have

00:21:36.299 --> 00:21:38.380
to take the test within a certain time frame

00:21:38.380 --> 00:21:40.920
of your green card expiring. So he's like, fuck.

00:21:41.140 --> 00:21:43.220
So he had to renew his green card. And that gave

00:21:43.220 --> 00:21:45.200
him some more lead time. So then he just got

00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:47.539
it about a year ago or two years ago. Well, good

00:21:47.539 --> 00:21:49.500
for him. He followed the process. I know it's

00:21:49.500 --> 00:21:51.359
kind of painful, but they want to make sure the

00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:54.240
right people are becoming U .S. citizens for

00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:56.119
a good reason. Yeah, and he's a good citizen.

00:21:56.420 --> 00:21:59.940
He wasn't able to vote until he became a citizen.

00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:01.759
So he may have been able to vote in this last

00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:05.019
election for the first time. Who did he vote

00:22:05.019 --> 00:22:08.920
for? Camel. No, he's a good Republican. Good.

00:22:11.230 --> 00:22:12.910
Yeah, it's a mess. There's benefits. But this

00:22:12.910 --> 00:22:17.329
is a big deal. Yeah. And I don't think if you're

00:22:17.329 --> 00:22:20.589
over here on vacation or you come over here and

00:22:20.589 --> 00:22:24.430
your cervix is about to burst and you're all

00:22:24.430 --> 00:22:27.430
dilated and everything and you've lost your water.

00:22:28.430 --> 00:22:30.130
I'm making it so graphic. And you're just like

00:22:30.130 --> 00:22:32.329
waddling over the border and you pop a baby out.

00:22:32.430 --> 00:22:34.470
No, that kid's not a citizen. Yeah, that's crazy.

00:22:34.549 --> 00:22:36.829
But right now they are. Yeah, well, it's not

00:22:36.829 --> 00:22:39.490
quite like that. Right. Yes. Sometimes it is.

00:22:39.490 --> 00:22:42.730
They slither out onto the ground. Yeah. On the

00:22:42.730 --> 00:22:44.789
other side of the border. Would you get that

00:22:44.789 --> 00:22:47.809
for me? What side of the fence did the baby fall?

00:22:48.930 --> 00:22:56.230
He had good throw. Wow. Thank you. Yeah. Congratulations.

00:22:56.329 --> 00:22:59.769
You're a U .S. citizen. Oh, my God. She's all

00:22:59.769 --> 00:23:01.809
laid up like this. A little background. Shoot

00:23:01.809 --> 00:23:04.640
now like a catapult. Nice. A little background

00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:08.119
on the 14th Amendment. So there was a reason

00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:11.400
that the wording of it had to do with slavery.

00:23:11.460 --> 00:23:14.599
Had to do with, yes, the newly freed slaves.

00:23:14.779 --> 00:23:18.900
Correct. And it was the babies born to the newly

00:23:18.900 --> 00:23:21.339
freed slaves. Correct. Because they were not

00:23:21.339 --> 00:23:24.559
considered citizens. That's right. And so it

00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:27.720
was a hat tip to them. I mean, it was a way to

00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:32.039
fix that problem. It had nothing to do with brand

00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:34.799
new illegals coming over and having babies. Correct.

00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:37.240
And apparently a lot of the documents from back

00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:40.740
then specifically state the slavery and specifically

00:23:40.740 --> 00:23:43.680
states this is not intended for immigrants. Right.

00:23:43.859 --> 00:23:46.259
In the paperwork, in the discussion, the debate.

00:23:46.420 --> 00:23:49.039
It stands supported by the Supreme Court, 1898

00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:53.039
United States versus Wong Kim Ark ruling. Well,

00:23:53.140 --> 00:23:55.819
no, that actually says that people here who have

00:23:55.819 --> 00:23:59.839
a baby, the baby is a citizen. So it made the

00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:01.960
wrong clarification. Yes. And if they're going

00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:04.180
to overturn it, it's really going to take a great

00:24:04.180 --> 00:24:06.960
argument on the part of Trump administration

00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:10.319
to make it happen. Some of the thought is the

00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:12.559
Supreme Court gets kind of wishy -washy on some

00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:15.460
of these standards that have been in place for

00:24:15.460 --> 00:24:18.359
so long. Even if the Constitution contradicts

00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:22.720
that, well, it's been precedent for 200 years.

00:24:22.859 --> 00:24:26.140
We're not going to overturn that. What is new

00:24:26.140 --> 00:24:29.390
that warrants it? Yeah, what it would take is

00:24:29.390 --> 00:24:31.809
probably an act of Congress that clarifies it

00:24:31.809 --> 00:24:33.990
or makes a new rule, and then they can rule on

00:24:33.990 --> 00:24:38.210
that. And we're never going to get that if we

00:24:38.210 --> 00:24:41.210
have a divided Senate or whatever we have now,

00:24:41.329 --> 00:24:43.109
right? Never. Or where we have the filibuster,

00:24:43.210 --> 00:24:47.349
right? Where they can just say no. No to whatever

00:24:47.349 --> 00:24:49.309
good idea that you have. They just say no. So

00:24:49.309 --> 00:24:52.269
I see the Supreme Court playing it safe and using

00:24:52.269 --> 00:24:54.970
that. This has been precedent for too long. There's

00:24:54.970 --> 00:24:57.700
certain... republicans in the supreme court or

00:24:57.700 --> 00:24:59.799
conservatives in the supreme court that will

00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:03.380
never go for a change like this really it would

00:25:03.380 --> 00:25:06.880
just be a then they're also going to get their

00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:09.460
houses firebombed or whatever you know they're

00:25:09.460 --> 00:25:12.890
very worried about like The overturning the apple

00:25:12.890 --> 00:25:15.109
cart. The public uproar. The uproar, yeah. I

00:25:15.109 --> 00:25:16.710
mean, we were talking about Doge and getting

00:25:16.710 --> 00:25:19.210
rid of employees. All of a sudden, Tesla dealerships

00:25:19.210 --> 00:25:21.170
start getting firebombed. Elon Musk is like,

00:25:21.230 --> 00:25:23.430
what the hell did I do, man? Right. And Elon

00:25:23.430 --> 00:25:26.710
Musk was like, you and I need to create a fight,

00:25:26.869 --> 00:25:29.450
Trump, because you have to hate me now. You have

00:25:29.450 --> 00:25:31.349
to hate me now. You have to hate me so that they

00:25:31.349 --> 00:25:32.910
can stop attacking me. I think that's exactly

00:25:32.910 --> 00:25:35.049
right. That's exactly what happened. Yeah. I

00:25:35.049 --> 00:25:37.559
can see right through it. Yep. None of that shit

00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:39.539
was true. They all kissed and made up at the

00:25:39.539 --> 00:25:41.900
Charlie Kirk funeral and all that kind of stuff.

00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:44.119
They just had to kind of play along with it for

00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:46.900
a little while. And now they're back in love.

00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:52.299
Speaking of extremely rich people, I want to

00:25:52.299 --> 00:25:56.259
talk about the Netflix, Paramount, Warner Brothers,

00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:59.220
Ellison. Yeah, that's creating quite a stir.

00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:02.099
I didn't realize why at first, but you guys were

00:26:02.099 --> 00:26:04.400
educating me. Well, Netflix is trying to buy

00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:06.700
Warner Brothers for like $80 billion or something

00:26:06.700 --> 00:26:10.380
ridiculous like that. Right. Well, Ellison, not

00:26:10.380 --> 00:26:12.700
specifically Larry Ellison, but Larry Ellison

00:26:12.700 --> 00:26:17.740
gave his son like $120 billion to go buy this,

00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:22.599
to go buy Warner Brothers because he bought Paramount.

00:26:22.900 --> 00:26:26.829
And now Paramount. I think, outbid Netflix by

00:26:26.829 --> 00:26:28.910
$20 billion. Is that what you said, Chuck? Yeah,

00:26:28.910 --> 00:26:34.109
more like $30. $30 billion as a hostile bid to

00:26:34.109 --> 00:26:37.789
win it over from Netflix. So a lot of the Dems

00:26:37.789 --> 00:26:41.710
are concerned because Ellison is a concern of

00:26:41.710 --> 00:26:43.910
a Trump brand. It's an all -cash offer. Right.

00:26:44.210 --> 00:26:49.150
And what I think they're afraid of is they're

00:26:49.150 --> 00:26:52.430
going to lose their control over a good chunk

00:26:52.430 --> 00:26:56.460
of the media. The Warner Brothers library, it

00:26:56.460 --> 00:26:59.220
is what it is, right? You can't go back and remake

00:26:59.220 --> 00:27:01.460
that. Now, you could put disclaimers on there

00:27:01.460 --> 00:27:03.799
like they're all doing now. Hey, this is racist

00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:06.420
and whatever. We didn't know better back then.

00:27:06.539 --> 00:27:08.819
They could remove all that stuff. But anything

00:27:08.819 --> 00:27:12.940
new, they're afraid that, oh, well, we're going

00:27:12.940 --> 00:27:14.220
to lose the narrative. We're not going to be

00:27:14.220 --> 00:27:18.720
able to, you know. normalize things that we want

00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:22.539
to normalize. I think that's part of it. That's

00:27:22.539 --> 00:27:27.240
a big part of their social engineering. A huge

00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:29.039
part of their social engineering. Yeah, that's

00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:30.779
why they're pissed off about X. They don't have

00:27:30.779 --> 00:27:33.579
control over that anymore. The narrative there.

00:27:33.859 --> 00:27:35.700
I think they're afraid they're going to lose

00:27:35.700 --> 00:27:39.380
some control there. Paramount's big. Warner Brothers

00:27:39.380 --> 00:27:43.150
is big. I mean, can you imagine? I mean, they're

00:27:43.150 --> 00:27:46.009
worried about that, but they were doing the opposite

00:27:46.009 --> 00:27:49.069
to us, squashing us. They wouldn't even allow

00:27:49.069 --> 00:27:53.529
Trump to speak on X. Correct. Deleting him, and

00:27:53.529 --> 00:27:56.009
they wouldn't allow him to come up with his new,

00:27:56.089 --> 00:27:58.230
what is the investment we made? The truth. Oh,

00:27:58.230 --> 00:28:03.190
the Trump. Truth. Truth social. D -S -G or something

00:28:03.190 --> 00:28:08.890
like that. D -T -G or J. Oh, D -J -T. D -J -T.

00:28:08.970 --> 00:28:11.529
I would have gotten there. Yeah. Well, my point

00:28:11.529 --> 00:28:14.730
is they shut it down. They were just like, hey,

00:28:14.769 --> 00:28:18.150
look. They wouldn't platform it. Censorship galore.

00:28:18.150 --> 00:28:21.890
That was bullshit. And the fact that we're coming

00:28:21.890 --> 00:28:24.450
up with, we're doing the same thing to them,

00:28:24.470 --> 00:28:26.509
but we're not even doing that. This is just a

00:28:26.509 --> 00:28:28.589
purchase. But the fear is that they're going

00:28:28.589 --> 00:28:30.450
to do the same thing, that we're going to do

00:28:30.450 --> 00:28:33.869
that to them, but we're not. republicans i don't

00:28:33.869 --> 00:28:36.230
think we i think we play well i don't i mean

00:28:36.230 --> 00:28:38.269
yeah republicans are republicans and there are

00:28:38.269 --> 00:28:40.549
bad people on both sides of the aisle but i don't

00:28:40.549 --> 00:28:42.349
think we throw stones like that well i think

00:28:42.349 --> 00:28:43.730
what they're going to do it'll be interesting

00:28:43.730 --> 00:28:46.329
to see is you know if they make more like they're

00:28:46.329 --> 00:28:48.130
going to get control over harry potter the dc

00:28:48.130 --> 00:28:51.230
universe game of thrones a lot of hbo a lot of

00:28:51.230 --> 00:28:54.410
big things uh so if they bring out anything new

00:28:54.410 --> 00:28:58.670
it may be wholesome not wholesome but It's not

00:28:58.670 --> 00:29:00.549
going to have. Won't be as woke. That's what

00:29:00.549 --> 00:29:02.349
I mean. They're not going to be. That's exactly

00:29:02.349 --> 00:29:04.549
right. It may be a really great program, but,

00:29:04.630 --> 00:29:06.710
you know, Harry Potter show coming out. You know,

00:29:06.710 --> 00:29:08.829
Snape is a black dude. Yeah. You're not going

00:29:08.829 --> 00:29:11.769
to have these gay folks. And look, I don't have

00:29:11.769 --> 00:29:13.450
anything against gay people. I don't give a shit.

00:29:13.509 --> 00:29:16.309
But what I do care about is every guy. Bless

00:29:16.309 --> 00:29:19.170
an episode. There's got to be some people that

00:29:19.170 --> 00:29:21.430
mug down. It's like you're enjoying it. Episode

00:29:21.430 --> 00:29:23.490
one. Episode two. This is a great thing. Episode

00:29:23.490 --> 00:29:25.289
three. There's two dudes making out. You're like,

00:29:25.369 --> 00:29:28.849
come on. Right. Why? We didn't need that. It's

00:29:28.849 --> 00:29:31.730
over the top. The thing that's frustrating to

00:29:31.730 --> 00:29:35.609
me is that it's so forced into the storyline.

00:29:35.930 --> 00:29:38.650
It's not even necessary as part of the storyline.

00:29:38.950 --> 00:29:41.009
You know what I mean? Those two guys touching

00:29:41.009 --> 00:29:44.349
peepees did nothing for the storyline. Zero.

00:29:44.529 --> 00:29:47.109
It's just like they could have been friends having

00:29:47.109 --> 00:29:49.690
a drink instead of that, and it would have been

00:29:49.690 --> 00:29:52.730
just as good. I know. Well, did you see the new

00:29:52.730 --> 00:29:56.559
hockey program on HBO? No. Pull up that front

00:29:56.559 --> 00:29:59.799
cover. I can't afford HBO. But I haven't watched

00:29:59.799 --> 00:30:02.880
it. I will not watch this. But HBO Max hockey

00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:07.440
show. Beartown? No. And this is the whole point.

00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:09.859
It's social engineering. No. I think it's called

00:30:09.859 --> 00:30:12.900
Heated Rivalry, I think. Oh, there it is. Heated

00:30:12.900 --> 00:30:16.059
Rivalry. Oh, my God. Gay hockey romance? Yes.

00:30:16.079 --> 00:30:21.700
Heated Rivalry? Look at the poster for it. If

00:30:21.700 --> 00:30:23.519
they have it. You may have to get back out to

00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:26.779
Google or something like that. But yeah, it's

00:30:26.779 --> 00:30:30.599
about... It's a popular drama about two rival

00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:32.720
professional hockey players who fell in love.

00:30:32.779 --> 00:30:35.799
It's Brokeback Hockey? I was going to say, it's

00:30:35.799 --> 00:30:39.079
Brokeback. It's Brokeback Hockey. I can't quit

00:30:39.079 --> 00:30:44.339
you. Not on this power play anyway. So, you know...

00:30:44.339 --> 00:30:46.180
It puts a new meaning to sneaking one past the

00:30:46.180 --> 00:30:51.000
goalie. Oh, boy. Yeah. so you know it's just

00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:55.380
not pulling the goalie you know in part of me

00:30:55.380 --> 00:30:57.359
is kind of like well you know gay people need

00:30:57.359 --> 00:31:01.059
um shows too but it's kind of like i don't again

00:31:01.059 --> 00:31:04.460
but we don't have to watch it yeah you know what

00:31:04.460 --> 00:31:06.480
it's going to be about i elect i'm not watching

00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:10.599
that so Yeah, this horny gay ice hockey drama

00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:13.599
has everyone talking, but is it good? HBO's new

00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:15.660
show is part of a wave of gay -themed romance

00:31:15.660 --> 00:31:18.279
from hard -stopping to red, white, and blue royal.

00:31:18.460 --> 00:31:20.920
I just fucked that up. That desexes gay men just

00:31:20.920 --> 00:31:23.079
enough to make them palatable like pets for young

00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:28.640
women. Wow. I did not hear this. Yeah, that was

00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:30.240
unnecessary. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:32.960
Yeah, that's the one I saw where they heat the

00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:36.319
next one down. Jeff. That one there. Oh, my God.

00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:39.220
Jeff. Look at that. Why? You need to watch it

00:31:39.220 --> 00:31:41.359
so you can give us a review. I am not going to

00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:43.579
watch that. Well, because we were talking about

00:31:43.579 --> 00:31:47.440
how this whole show is about that. But this podcast

00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:52.730
is not. No. I'm not... We may elect... This will

00:31:52.730 --> 00:31:54.650
be one of the... Paul, we're electing you to

00:31:54.650 --> 00:31:56.829
watch this. That's a hard pass. I don't know,

00:31:56.829 --> 00:31:59.329
man. I mean, think about some other... What is

00:31:59.329 --> 00:32:03.970
the one... It was good hockey scenes. What is

00:32:03.970 --> 00:32:05.970
that movie that everybody went to and they would

00:32:05.970 --> 00:32:07.710
act it out? It's been around for... Rocky Horror?

00:32:07.869 --> 00:32:09.549
Yeah, the Rocky Horror. I mean, it was the Rocky

00:32:09.549 --> 00:32:21.099
Horror Show kind of a gay thing? Yes. Yes. Yeah,

00:32:21.220 --> 00:32:23.579
but yet it's super popular and everyone's doing

00:32:23.579 --> 00:32:26.220
it. I didn't really frown upon that. I didn't

00:32:26.220 --> 00:32:28.279
go see it. I've seen it a bunch of times. I've

00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:33.380
seen it enough. If you're prepared for it and

00:32:33.380 --> 00:32:35.279
you're like, hey, I want to go see Rocky Horror

00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:41.700
and it's campy and it's out and the sexual lines

00:32:41.700 --> 00:32:43.910
are blurred. You're like, yeah, they're just,

00:32:44.009 --> 00:32:45.750
you know. But you know what you're in for. Right.

00:32:45.789 --> 00:32:47.069
You know what you're in for. You know what you're

00:32:47.069 --> 00:32:51.009
in for. It's not a standard family drama. On

00:32:51.009 --> 00:32:54.950
Netflix or Disney Channel. On every single streaming

00:32:54.950 --> 00:32:58.349
show where they introduce a relationship like

00:32:58.349 --> 00:33:00.910
that. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, if you think

00:33:00.910 --> 00:33:04.130
about the percentages of homosexuality in the

00:33:04.130 --> 00:33:07.549
United States. compared to the reality of what's

00:33:07.549 --> 00:33:10.650
on TV, the numbers just don't jive. That is,

00:33:10.789 --> 00:33:12.369
there's another issue I have. You know, it's

00:33:12.369 --> 00:33:13.829
just like, come on, man. I mean, if you want

00:33:13.829 --> 00:33:16.009
to play to the masses, play to the masses, and

00:33:16.009 --> 00:33:17.930
if you want to feature, I mean, they have what?

00:33:18.150 --> 00:33:20.470
Black, BTE, what is that? Black, or BET, Black

00:33:20.470 --> 00:33:23.529
Entertainment. Have a G -E -T, Gay Entertainment.

00:33:23.690 --> 00:33:26.130
I mean, I don't know. Isn't that called Bravo?

00:33:26.549 --> 00:33:29.509
Oh, yeah. I don't know. And I'm being a little

00:33:29.509 --> 00:33:32.089
sarcastic, but I mean. Actually, I don't think

00:33:32.089 --> 00:33:34.829
it's a horrible idea. If you want that stuff,

00:33:35.009 --> 00:33:37.569
have it, but I don't want to be like three episodes,

00:33:37.690 --> 00:33:40.589
balls deep into a show that I'm really enjoying,

00:33:40.890 --> 00:33:43.250
and then all of a sudden it turns brokeback moment.

00:33:43.410 --> 00:33:45.829
I don't want that. It's frustrating. I hear you.

00:33:45.829 --> 00:33:47.170
Because then I'm kind of like, well, I'm invested,

00:33:47.349 --> 00:33:49.490
so I'm going to continue to watch it, and then

00:33:49.490 --> 00:33:54.170
I will literally forward through the show those

00:33:54.170 --> 00:33:55.930
little spots because I don't want to see it.

00:33:56.049 --> 00:33:59.910
The Last of Us went that way on HBO. It did?

00:33:59.930 --> 00:34:02.970
Bad. What did? It did? The Last of Us. Oh, is

00:34:02.970 --> 00:34:05.130
that the name of the show? It's a zombie show

00:34:05.130 --> 00:34:06.910
we talked about. It's based on a video game.

00:34:06.930 --> 00:34:09.409
I heard it's absolutely a great show. It is a

00:34:09.409 --> 00:34:11.050
good show. For the most part. For the most part,

00:34:11.130 --> 00:34:13.329
it's a good show. It went rogue? For one episode.

00:34:13.690 --> 00:34:17.690
Gay zombies? No, no, no. It actually, who was

00:34:17.690 --> 00:34:21.449
the guy on Parks and Rec that you like? Who's

00:34:21.449 --> 00:34:24.170
the guy on Parks and Rec that you like? Ron Burgundy.

00:34:24.230 --> 00:34:27.369
Ron Burgundy. Ron Swanson. No, it's Ron Swanson.

00:34:27.369 --> 00:34:30.650
Ron, you get to see Ron Swanson making. Oh. Making

00:34:30.650 --> 00:34:32.230
sweet love to another man. Sweet love to another

00:34:32.230 --> 00:34:36.409
man. Come on. You do. That's not. I mean. I mean,

00:34:36.409 --> 00:34:39.130
so when you say sweet, I mean, it was consensual.

00:34:39.170 --> 00:34:45.829
They are in the bed thrusting. Jeff. What? Why?

00:34:46.349 --> 00:34:48.429
Because you guys need to see it. Because of zombies.

00:34:48.849 --> 00:34:51.730
Yeah, because of zombies. Okay, well, you unsee

00:34:51.730 --> 00:34:54.429
it. We don't have to see it. Their options are

00:34:54.429 --> 00:34:57.710
limited. So instead of these zombies going brains,

00:34:57.849 --> 00:35:02.730
they're like bulls. Bulls, yes, yes. But I know

00:35:02.730 --> 00:35:05.650
Trump is against the Netflix Warner Brothers.

00:35:06.289 --> 00:35:09.590
He should be against the Paramount Warner Brothers

00:35:09.590 --> 00:35:13.690
as well. We'll see. But Larry Ellison is his

00:35:13.690 --> 00:35:16.889
buddy. But don't the Obamas own a big chunk of

00:35:16.889 --> 00:35:20.409
Netflix now? They've got a big contract with

00:35:20.409 --> 00:35:21.889
them. I don't know if they've bought stock in

00:35:21.889 --> 00:35:25.949
them. I don't know about ownership. They might

00:35:25.949 --> 00:35:27.730
even be on the board, for all I know. But their

00:35:27.730 --> 00:35:31.550
stock has gone crazy, by the way. Netflix? Yes.

00:35:32.190 --> 00:35:34.769
Well, it's big. Has it? Yeah. Well, I mean, there's

00:35:34.769 --> 00:35:39.349
a lot to offer on Netflix. I mean, for a month

00:35:39.349 --> 00:35:41.530
or two, it was kind of slow, but they've got

00:35:41.530 --> 00:35:43.889
a lot more episodes that have started populating

00:35:43.889 --> 00:35:46.510
on there now. I mean, Troll 2, which is kind

00:35:46.510 --> 00:35:50.269
of stupid, but I still watched it. Chuck is fact

00:35:50.269 --> 00:35:53.440
-checking me. Fact -checking me. The Diplomat

00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:55.639
was on there, and that was a good one. I don't

00:35:55.639 --> 00:35:57.880
like all the sexual stuff on there. It's not

00:35:57.880 --> 00:35:59.380
like they have a lot of sex on there, but what

00:35:59.380 --> 00:36:01.320
they have is a lot of people cheating, and that,

00:36:01.380 --> 00:36:03.840
to me, I don't like watching that. I don't like

00:36:03.840 --> 00:36:05.760
seeing people cheating on each other. Give me

00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:09.179
the five -year. Yeah, look at that. It was 130.

00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:11.780
Now it's 96. Well, yeah. But look what it was

00:36:11.780 --> 00:36:16.619
in 2000. What? I can't see that. Well, do all.

00:36:17.179 --> 00:36:19.619
Where did it start? Go to all. Yeah, go to all.

00:36:20.110 --> 00:36:23.590
Well, I mean, it started from zero when Blockbuster

00:36:23.590 --> 00:36:26.289
refused to buy them for $50 million or something

00:36:26.289 --> 00:36:28.929
like that. Back here it was pennies. Tell my

00:36:28.929 --> 00:36:30.630
18 -year -old self to buy them. And then it's

00:36:30.630 --> 00:36:33.530
split, right? It's pretty good. In 2008 it was

00:36:33.530 --> 00:36:36.889
$0 .35, right? And now it's $90. Pretty good.

00:36:36.969 --> 00:36:40.019
Right? It's pretty good. But, Paul, you saw Zootopia

00:36:40.019 --> 00:36:42.860
2. You said you liked it. It was great. Now,

00:36:42.900 --> 00:36:45.340
what is that about? Animals, talking animals.

00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:48.639
Talking animals. Talking animals. It's a little

00:36:48.639 --> 00:36:51.739
bunny who becomes a policeman, and there's a

00:36:51.739 --> 00:36:54.380
Zootopia 1 and a Zootopia 2. And it's funny because

00:36:54.380 --> 00:36:56.739
we've never done this before. I used to work

00:36:56.739 --> 00:36:59.579
at a movie theater, so I know that there were

00:36:59.579 --> 00:37:01.400
tons of families. Were you correcting them? We

00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:03.440
were always busy. That's not the way you serve

00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:07.280
popcorn. No. But we were always busy on Thanksgiving

00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:08.960
Day. Sir, that's too much butter. And Christmas

00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:11.320
Day. And so we did that on Thanksgiving Day.

00:37:11.619 --> 00:37:14.440
And we went and saw Zootopia and it was hilarious.

00:37:14.579 --> 00:37:17.260
I loved it. Instead of watching football. We

00:37:17.260 --> 00:37:19.300
all laughed our asses off. Hold on. So Zootopia

00:37:19.300 --> 00:37:22.400
1 was a little rabbit? It's the same character.

00:37:22.539 --> 00:37:25.519
Oh, okay. I saw Zootopia 1. I don't know where.

00:37:25.780 --> 00:37:29.780
2 is out. It's really good. It's one of their

00:37:29.780 --> 00:37:32.440
better ones that's been out recently. Cool. And

00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:35.179
the guy that's He's always so funny with the

00:37:35.179 --> 00:37:38.139
deep voice. Patrick Warburton? Yeah, I guarantee

00:37:38.139 --> 00:37:41.579
that's probably him. He's the mayor, and he's

00:37:41.579 --> 00:37:44.579
freaking hilarious. He's in Emperor's New Groove.

00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:47.780
He's Kronk. Kronk. We talked about that. It's

00:37:47.780 --> 00:37:49.800
so funny that you can come up with these names.

00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:52.500
It's insane. I don't know how he does it, honestly.

00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:55.179
You know, I don't know how you do it. It cracks

00:37:55.179 --> 00:37:57.179
me up. It's absolutely... Patch of Warburger.

00:37:57.360 --> 00:37:59.099
And I can't tell, is he really? Is that a real

00:37:59.099 --> 00:38:01.019
name? Because, you know... Jeff will throw you

00:38:01.019 --> 00:38:03.079
a curveball every now and then. But do you see

00:38:03.079 --> 00:38:04.860
how I respond? I'm like, okay, it's got to be

00:38:04.860 --> 00:38:09.119
right. Anyway, so... Yeah, it's good. Yeah. Hey,

00:38:09.139 --> 00:38:12.079
but I want to pivot for a second. Oh. World Cup.

00:38:12.260 --> 00:38:17.800
Ooh. Yeah. I do get into World Cup, and I don't

00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:21.250
think we have been a very good team. For many,

00:38:21.250 --> 00:38:23.230
many times. Yeah, I think we got a good draw

00:38:23.230 --> 00:38:25.010
this time, though, from what I understand. From

00:38:25.010 --> 00:38:29.750
what I understand as well. And so, didn't, don't,

00:38:29.769 --> 00:38:32.469
the United States is hosting some of the World

00:38:32.469 --> 00:38:35.309
Cup qualifiers. Yes. Right. It's in the U .S.

00:38:35.309 --> 00:38:36.650
It's in the North America. It's in North America.

00:38:36.849 --> 00:38:39.670
It's in North America, right. And is Frisco?

00:38:40.929 --> 00:38:43.210
Frisco? Frisco hosting one of them? Well, not

00:38:43.210 --> 00:38:44.769
a game. They're hosting something. They're hosting

00:38:44.769 --> 00:38:46.769
Brazil. They might be hosting like a friendly

00:38:46.769 --> 00:38:48.809
or something like that, a warm -up game. And

00:38:48.809 --> 00:38:50.750
then they might actually have a headquarters

00:38:50.750 --> 00:38:53.130
of one of the teams here. I think it was Brazil

00:38:53.130 --> 00:38:55.610
was the last I heard. It's going to be headquartered

00:38:55.610 --> 00:38:59.050
here. Which is a big one. And I heard that that

00:38:59.050 --> 00:39:01.849
was one of the big motivators for them putting

00:39:01.849 --> 00:39:05.090
$30 million into renovating Main Street. Yeah.

00:39:05.230 --> 00:39:08.969
Plus they're renovating the stadium. Have you

00:39:08.969 --> 00:39:11.230
gone by the stadium recently? No. Main Street

00:39:11.230 --> 00:39:13.489
will be open by the end of the year. So they've

00:39:13.489 --> 00:39:15.090
added a ton of seats. Jeff, you're right. In

00:39:15.090 --> 00:39:20.210
2027, oh, that's the Women's World Cup. Women's

00:39:20.210 --> 00:39:22.329
World Cup Brazil becomes the first South American

00:39:22.329 --> 00:39:26.690
host nation. Yeah, 2026 World Cup. Yeah, next

00:39:26.690 --> 00:39:29.969
year. They're adding, you know how one side has

00:39:29.969 --> 00:39:32.969
all the, I won't call them suites, but the press

00:39:32.969 --> 00:39:35.050
box and all that shit? Right. Well, the other

00:39:35.050 --> 00:39:36.869
side, they've completely demolished, and now

00:39:36.869 --> 00:39:39.909
they're building up on that side. It's going

00:39:39.909 --> 00:39:41.989
to overhang some, and there's going to be suites

00:39:41.989 --> 00:39:44.610
and everything. No shit. Okay, so I wondered

00:39:44.610 --> 00:39:48.550
that, because that stadium is... Not big. And

00:39:48.550 --> 00:39:50.429
I was like, how are they going to host a significant

00:39:50.429 --> 00:39:52.309
game there? You're talking about in Frisco? Yeah.

00:39:52.550 --> 00:39:55.730
But apparently they're renovating it. Yeah, they're

00:39:55.730 --> 00:39:59.449
renovating it. And I think last I heard, Brazil

00:39:59.449 --> 00:40:04.030
was going to be their home. So there's 12 groups.

00:40:04.130 --> 00:40:07.969
12 groups. Okay. And we're in Group D with Paraguay,

00:40:07.969 --> 00:40:13.050
Australia, and... A plan. What is that? Kosovo.

00:40:13.050 --> 00:40:16.610
It's a plan. Turkey and... Oh, it's like the

00:40:16.610 --> 00:40:19.489
old... It's the old Yugoslavia. Yeah, I think

00:40:19.489 --> 00:40:23.929
so. Apparently, we've beaten Paraguay and Australia

00:40:23.929 --> 00:40:28.469
over the last two months. Nice! So we have a

00:40:28.469 --> 00:40:30.829
chance to get out of our group play. Correct.

00:40:31.050 --> 00:40:33.190
Which is not easy to do. So what do they do?

00:40:33.329 --> 00:40:35.409
What are the general rules? The top two from

00:40:35.409 --> 00:40:37.730
each group move forward? It's a round robin,

00:40:37.750 --> 00:40:41.969
yeah. But I know they do points. Right? You play

00:40:41.969 --> 00:40:43.409
each other and get points and stuff. But I mean,

00:40:43.449 --> 00:40:47.880
the top two advance. in terms of points true

00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:50.460
false i guess we're looking at it i don't know

00:40:50.460 --> 00:40:52.619
yeah i don't know jack shit about it but but

00:40:52.619 --> 00:40:54.199
yeah and it depends on the seating where the

00:40:54.199 --> 00:40:56.239
top the the second place is going to go place

00:40:56.239 --> 00:40:59.280
play the some better team from another group

00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:01.880
right right okay all right well i'm looking forward

00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:03.579
to it i don't know when it all starts but i'm

00:41:03.579 --> 00:41:05.239
going to be watching well this is huge because

00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:07.599
it is a big deal because frisco is going to be

00:41:07.599 --> 00:41:12.840
crazy next summer uh with just fans of World

00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:19.000
Cup. And the lawsuit. The court case. The kid

00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:20.639
stabbing the other kid. That starts in June.

00:41:22.340 --> 00:41:26.860
I'm just talking about the World Cup. That's

00:41:26.860 --> 00:41:30.460
going to add another wrinkle into it. It's going

00:41:30.460 --> 00:41:32.079
to be huge. They better have all that shit fixed

00:41:32.079 --> 00:41:36.360
down there. That's the goal. Universal Studios

00:41:36.360 --> 00:41:39.219
is supposed to also open up next summer in time

00:41:39.219 --> 00:41:41.480
for World Cup. Yes. Good thing we live on the

00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:44.539
east side. So that is going to be a fucking disaster

00:41:44.539 --> 00:41:49.059
on the east side. So that's the kid version of

00:41:49.059 --> 00:41:50.760
Universal Studios, and they're going to build,

00:41:50.900 --> 00:41:53.420
for the rest of the property, they're doing an

00:41:53.420 --> 00:41:55.900
adult version as well. Are they? Yeah. When are

00:41:55.900 --> 00:41:57.539
they going to do that? That has to be the next

00:41:57.539 --> 00:41:59.880
project they work on. Cool. After they finish

00:41:59.880 --> 00:42:01.500
the kid one. Well, I'm going to go to the kid

00:42:01.500 --> 00:42:04.460
one. I wonder who's funding all this here. Universal

00:42:04.460 --> 00:42:06.949
Studios. That's what I heard. I mean, like Jerry

00:42:06.949 --> 00:42:09.030
World, I mean, they made the city of Arlington

00:42:09.030 --> 00:42:11.070
pay for Jerry World. I think they gave him some

00:42:11.070 --> 00:42:14.550
tax breaks, but Universal Studios is paying for

00:42:14.550 --> 00:42:18.070
this. And it's... As far as I know. Who owns

00:42:18.070 --> 00:42:20.949
Universal Studios? Are they American? That's

00:42:20.949 --> 00:42:23.769
a... It's Larry Ellison. It's a stock market,

00:42:23.849 --> 00:42:25.969
I believe. It's publicly traded. It's Elon Musk.

00:42:27.889 --> 00:42:29.760
I don't know. Anyway, I'm looking forward to

00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:31.320
the soccer stuff. I'm excited about it because

00:42:31.320 --> 00:42:34.000
I know how the world is. United States is not

00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:36.440
so big on soccer, you know, sometimes. Soccer

00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:40.260
is huge. It puts NFL to shame. Oh, yeah. They

00:42:40.260 --> 00:42:43.099
said they were expecting a billion people worldwide

00:42:43.099 --> 00:42:47.500
to watch the draw. Right. The draw. I know. Well,

00:42:48.460 --> 00:42:50.300
and it was okay. So that was kind of cool because

00:42:50.300 --> 00:42:54.000
Trump was there. And the president of Mexico.

00:42:54.420 --> 00:42:57.219
Right. And Canada, right? Yeah, Canada. The current

00:42:57.219 --> 00:43:00.219
president. And apparently, you know, it was silly

00:43:00.219 --> 00:43:02.900
what they drew. It was rigged. And it was supposed

00:43:02.900 --> 00:43:04.920
to be. Right. It was supposed to be rigged, right?

00:43:05.059 --> 00:43:07.380
Trump was even like, surprise, surprise. Exactly.

00:43:07.539 --> 00:43:10.980
He was hamming it up, you know. You know, the

00:43:10.980 --> 00:43:14.019
people that hate him must just deceive when they

00:43:14.019 --> 00:43:17.039
see him being cute guy, right? Okay, so they

00:43:17.039 --> 00:43:21.880
expanded from 12 to 16 groups of... Four, right?

00:43:21.940 --> 00:43:26.519
Oh, wow. Okay. And the top two teams advance

00:43:26.519 --> 00:43:30.199
plus the eight best third place team. Okay. So

00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:32.659
it's like that's... They're trying to maximize

00:43:32.659 --> 00:43:35.039
this. That's most of the field. They're basically

00:43:35.039 --> 00:43:38.420
trying to maximize rounds and money. So how many

00:43:38.420 --> 00:43:41.940
groups were there, you said? 32, right? A round

00:43:41.940 --> 00:43:46.159
of 32. 12 groups. 16 groups of three to 12 groups

00:43:46.159 --> 00:43:51.860
of four. Yeah, so from 32 to 48. So we have 48,

00:43:52.019 --> 00:43:56.420
and then 24 plus 8, 32 move on. Of the 48. Of

00:43:56.420 --> 00:43:59.480
the 48. Okay, well, I mean, again. Your group

00:43:59.480 --> 00:44:01.900
kind of doesn't matter. As long as you can get

00:44:01.900 --> 00:44:04.099
a win out of it, you're probably going to be

00:44:04.099 --> 00:44:07.500
in the top three. Trust me, they care. Oh, yeah.

00:44:07.579 --> 00:44:11.280
Because this is a big, big deal. So, awesome.

00:44:11.519 --> 00:44:13.079
All right, well, that's the World Cup. It's going

00:44:13.079 --> 00:44:16.440
to be fun. So FIFO, what is FIFO? The Federal?

00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:21.190
Federal? International Football Association.

00:44:23.010 --> 00:44:24.869
Highly corrupt from what I understand. That thing

00:44:24.869 --> 00:44:28.170
has had all sorts of scandals. We can pivot to

00:44:28.170 --> 00:44:32.869
college football. What kind of scandals? Payoffs,

00:44:32.909 --> 00:44:35.349
money, all kinds of shit. Those guys getting

00:44:35.349 --> 00:44:38.909
payoffs for them to host this game. Why do you

00:44:38.909 --> 00:44:42.309
think Cutter got the World Cup last time? Because

00:44:42.309 --> 00:44:46.869
the FIFA people got money from... It would be

00:44:46.869 --> 00:44:49.050
like the group that decides who hosts the Super

00:44:49.050 --> 00:44:51.489
Bowl, and there's money being exchanged under

00:44:51.489 --> 00:44:54.769
the table. Well, anywhere these guys go to build

00:44:54.769 --> 00:44:59.289
up on the soccer game, I mean, they're going

00:44:59.289 --> 00:45:00.610
to build these infrastructures. What's going

00:45:00.610 --> 00:45:03.210
to happen after they leave? I mean, you've heard

00:45:03.210 --> 00:45:05.590
about these Olympic programs that they set up,

00:45:05.670 --> 00:45:08.690
and they make entire communities, and they abandon

00:45:08.690 --> 00:45:11.110
them, and then they turn into ghost towns. That's

00:45:11.110 --> 00:45:15.849
the Russian winter one. Yeah. Sochi. Is it? No,

00:45:15.869 --> 00:45:17.869
it's not Sochi. Yes, it is. Is it really? The

00:45:17.869 --> 00:45:20.010
one that's a ghost town now? Yes. Oh, I don't

00:45:20.010 --> 00:45:22.389
remember that name. Could have been Sarajevo

00:45:22.389 --> 00:45:24.769
as well. Remember, that got bombed during the

00:45:24.769 --> 00:45:29.409
Serbian War. Damn. Sarajevo. Anyway. All right,

00:45:29.429 --> 00:45:30.769
so let's talk about college football. This is

00:45:30.769 --> 00:45:35.110
a big deal. So what's happening? Well, Notre

00:45:35.110 --> 00:45:38.010
Dame didn't get picked. For what? And they shouldn't

00:45:38.010 --> 00:45:39.869
have. And they shouldn't have. Well, I mean,

00:45:39.889 --> 00:45:41.769
they had the record to be in there. Well, so

00:45:41.769 --> 00:45:45.000
did Miami. I know. And Miami beat. Notre Dame.

00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:50.340
Head -to -head. So the big drama was Notre Dame

00:45:50.340 --> 00:45:52.659
didn't make it in. Texas didn't make it in, but

00:45:52.659 --> 00:45:56.039
whatever. BYU. BYU didn't make it in, but they

00:45:56.039 --> 00:45:57.860
knew that was going to happen. But there was

00:45:57.860 --> 00:45:59.679
another one. There was another team that didn't

00:45:59.679 --> 00:46:01.639
make it in. They were all butter. Was it Virginia?

00:46:02.340 --> 00:46:05.619
Well, Virginia lost to Duke in the ACC championship

00:46:05.619 --> 00:46:07.980
game, and Duke's not making it in either. Right.

00:46:08.519 --> 00:46:10.380
Miami's the only ACC team, and they weren't even

00:46:10.380 --> 00:46:13.510
in the championship. Right. Anyway, there was

00:46:13.510 --> 00:46:16.090
some drama. Lots of people being upset and stuff.

00:46:16.349 --> 00:46:18.369
But, I mean, the funny thing is, like, they were

00:46:18.369 --> 00:46:19.989
showing during. I thought it was kind of cool

00:46:19.989 --> 00:46:21.750
when they were announcing, you know, who got

00:46:21.750 --> 00:46:25.489
in during the whole thing show. They showed all

00:46:25.489 --> 00:46:28.269
the players, right, freaking out and being all

00:46:28.269 --> 00:46:30.570
excited. I mean, but they're going to get destroyed,

00:46:31.130 --> 00:46:33.489
right? I mean, but it just being there matters.

00:46:33.510 --> 00:46:36.769
Oh, the JMU. Yeah, JMU is going to get. Tulane.

00:46:37.030 --> 00:46:39.489
Tulane and Ole Miss have already played. And

00:46:39.489 --> 00:46:42.329
Ole Miss. Like, destroyed them. Destroyed them,

00:46:42.389 --> 00:46:44.469
right. So, I mean, it's going to be pretty brutal,

00:46:44.550 --> 00:46:47.929
but, I mean, okay, so the Miami A &M game should

00:46:47.929 --> 00:46:49.570
be a good game. Yeah, it should be a good game.

00:46:49.570 --> 00:46:52.289
I think it's A &M by three. Yeah. So basically

00:46:52.289 --> 00:46:54.030
just a pick -em type of a game. That's a good

00:46:54.030 --> 00:46:56.449
game. Oklahoma, Alabama, that's going to be a

00:46:56.449 --> 00:46:57.730
great game. Well, they played once already as

00:46:57.730 --> 00:47:00.170
well. Yep. Yeah, and Alabama lost, right? Yeah,

00:47:00.170 --> 00:47:04.070
they did. Yes. I want Alabama out. So, anyway,

00:47:04.210 --> 00:47:06.280
that'll be interesting. So I'm looking forward

00:47:06.280 --> 00:47:08.019
to it. This is the first time they've done this

00:47:08.019 --> 00:47:09.900
12 -team deal, right? Yeah, because in my opinion,

00:47:09.920 --> 00:47:12.440
I think Alabama shouldn't even be in there. They

00:47:12.440 --> 00:47:14.619
lost three games this year. Well, one of them

00:47:14.619 --> 00:47:17.719
was to Georgia in the championship game. They

00:47:17.719 --> 00:47:19.739
went to the championship game and lost. Which

00:47:19.739 --> 00:47:22.440
was an extra game that nobody else had to play,

00:47:22.460 --> 00:47:24.719
right? So, I mean, that's the tough part. They've

00:47:24.719 --> 00:47:27.280
got to fix this. Because when you're comparing

00:47:27.280 --> 00:47:30.400
teams that had an extra game... Well, the championship

00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:33.199
game is not supposed to play an impact. But it

00:47:33.199 --> 00:47:35.639
did. Well, not for Alabama. They didn't move

00:47:35.639 --> 00:47:38.719
at all. Yeah, but... They lost by three touchdowns.

00:47:39.920 --> 00:47:42.300
I don't know. They should have dropped a spot.

00:47:42.639 --> 00:47:46.539
I didn't say completely out. But what was Texas'

00:47:46.780 --> 00:47:48.480
record? Did they lose three? Yeah, they lost

00:47:48.480 --> 00:47:51.539
three. Yeah, but they were three big games. Three

00:47:51.539 --> 00:47:54.019
big teams they lost to, right? Well, one of them

00:47:54.019 --> 00:47:56.980
was Florida State. No, no, Florida. Right. They

00:47:56.980 --> 00:48:01.320
lost to 4 -8 Florida. Okay, that hurt him. On

00:48:01.320 --> 00:48:03.519
the road, and we smoked Florida, right? A &M

00:48:03.519 --> 00:48:06.900
smoked Florida. Right. Right. And so they're

00:48:06.900 --> 00:48:10.119
like, yeah, sorry, Texas. Well. They were a little

00:48:10.119 --> 00:48:12.500
butthurt, not as bad butthurt as Notre Dame was

00:48:12.500 --> 00:48:13.980
because Notre Dame thought they had it in the

00:48:13.980 --> 00:48:16.239
bag. They're like, we won 10 straight games.

00:48:16.300 --> 00:48:17.820
Yeah, well, what about the first two that you

00:48:17.820 --> 00:48:21.579
lost? Right. We play a 12 -game schedule, you

00:48:21.579 --> 00:48:23.280
know? All right, so this is not this weekend.

00:48:23.300 --> 00:48:25.559
This is the weekend after. Yeah, next Saturday.

00:48:26.500 --> 00:48:28.800
Actually, next Friday is the first game and then

00:48:28.800 --> 00:48:31.940
three on Saturday because they wanted to schedule

00:48:31.940 --> 00:48:35.599
the A &M game at 11 to avoid the NFL games that

00:48:35.599 --> 00:48:37.780
are going to be Saturday afternoon. Do we want

00:48:37.780 --> 00:48:41.480
to do brackets? That's kind of fun. Well, I was

00:48:41.480 --> 00:48:43.320
going to invite everybody over to watch. Anybody

00:48:43.320 --> 00:48:46.500
who's around. The Aggie game? Yeah, absolutely.

00:48:48.380 --> 00:48:50.860
And it won't be a hostile environment like mine

00:48:50.860 --> 00:48:54.159
was. I'll try to invite as few hostile fans as

00:48:54.159 --> 00:48:56.800
possible. That was unplanned. Unlike you and

00:48:56.800 --> 00:48:58.679
your hostile. It was unplanned. It was by design.

00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:03.179
Chuck's coming over. Let's fuck with him. Maybe

00:49:03.179 --> 00:49:06.000
for the Ohio State, if A &M wins, that'll be

00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:08.179
interesting. Oh, boy. That's going to be at the

00:49:08.179 --> 00:49:11.539
Cotton Bowl. And, dude, I am so shocked Indiana

00:49:11.539 --> 00:49:14.980
beat Ohio State. I mean, it'll be at AT &T Stadium

00:49:14.980 --> 00:49:17.219
called the Cotton Bowl game, not at the Cotton

00:49:17.219 --> 00:49:19.829
Bowl. The Cotton Bowl Stadium. Oh, I know. Oh,

00:49:20.030 --> 00:49:22.389
I got you. Because you usurped the name away

00:49:22.389 --> 00:49:24.070
from the Cotton Bowl. What do we call that thing

00:49:24.070 --> 00:49:25.369
anymore? Do we still call it the Cotton Bowl?

00:49:25.389 --> 00:49:26.909
It's still the Cotton Bowl. Why can't you call

00:49:26.909 --> 00:49:29.670
it the Cotton Bowl? It's at the Death Star. Yeah.

00:49:30.230 --> 00:49:31.829
It should be called something else, in my opinion.

00:49:31.909 --> 00:49:34.670
The Jerry World. It's not at Fair Park. It's

00:49:34.670 --> 00:49:36.849
not at Fair Park. It's at the Jerry World. Cotton

00:49:36.849 --> 00:49:39.119
Bowl's always been that. open -air stadium at

00:49:39.119 --> 00:49:42.019
Fair Park. Yeah. Well, it's at Jerry World. They

00:49:42.019 --> 00:49:43.880
play the game, the Cotton Bowl game. Oh, but

00:49:43.880 --> 00:49:45.739
they're calling the Cotton Bowl Jerry World now?

00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:47.280
Is that what you're saying? They play the Cotton

00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:49.980
Bowl game at Jerry World, but there is still

00:49:49.980 --> 00:49:51.320
a stadium called the Cotton Bowl. And they're

00:49:51.320 --> 00:49:53.300
still calling it the Cotton Bowl. So the Cotton

00:49:53.300 --> 00:49:56.300
Bowl, they had the Stocker World Cup in 94. Yes.

00:49:56.300 --> 00:49:59.280
I actually went to that game. Yes. Yeah. Well,

00:49:59.300 --> 00:50:01.159
they're going to have more next year, so. I don't

00:50:01.159 --> 00:50:03.340
know, man. It's going to be exciting. There's

00:50:03.340 --> 00:50:05.840
a lot of good teams in here. I got three teams.

00:50:06.920 --> 00:50:11.380
Texas A &M, Texas Tech, and Ohio State. That

00:50:11.380 --> 00:50:14.099
you're rooting for? Yeah, because I got, to be

00:50:14.099 --> 00:50:16.719
honest, I can see Texas Tech winning it. Do good.

00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:19.820
Well, yeah, they paid a shit ton of money this

00:50:19.820 --> 00:50:23.480
year. All schools do. Well, they paid. Texas

00:50:23.480 --> 00:50:25.619
finally figured that out, though. That's what

00:50:25.619 --> 00:50:27.079
I mean. They were explicitly pointing out how

00:50:27.079 --> 00:50:29.320
much money they had, particularly. Are you telling

00:50:29.320 --> 00:50:32.500
me A &M has not spent that much money? Of course

00:50:32.500 --> 00:50:34.340
they did. Of course they did. They're calling

00:50:34.340 --> 00:50:37.420
Texas Tech out because they're not traditionally

00:50:37.420 --> 00:50:40.739
a good team. Right. Now they are. Neither is

00:50:40.739 --> 00:50:42.840
Indiana. Oh, well, you just spent a lot of money.

00:50:42.900 --> 00:50:45.400
That's why you're here. All these schools have

00:50:45.400 --> 00:50:47.760
spent a shit ton of money on them. I'm not taking

00:50:47.760 --> 00:50:49.539
away from them. They were smart. They were smart

00:50:49.539 --> 00:50:51.800
to do so. I'm not judging them for that. I mean,

00:50:51.820 --> 00:50:54.159
they're legitimately good. But that's what everyone's

00:50:54.159 --> 00:50:55.559
saying. Well, the only reason you're here is

00:50:55.559 --> 00:50:58.000
because you spent a bunch of money. Also because

00:50:58.000 --> 00:51:00.320
all their chief rivals left their conference.

00:51:00.989 --> 00:51:02.929
You know, they don't have to deal with A &M.

00:51:02.969 --> 00:51:04.269
They don't have to deal with Texas or Oklahoma

00:51:04.269 --> 00:51:06.489
anymore, right? Which makes the conference a

00:51:06.489 --> 00:51:08.030
little less competitive. It's a little less competitive.

00:51:08.250 --> 00:51:10.349
They've got to go against Baylor and BYU and

00:51:10.349 --> 00:51:12.070
Arizona State now, you know. They have Utah.

00:51:12.389 --> 00:51:13.869
I'm not taking anything away from their season.

00:51:13.989 --> 00:51:15.869
It was a great season. And they're obviously

00:51:15.869 --> 00:51:18.030
very, very talented. But again. Well, compare

00:51:18.030 --> 00:51:19.630
their record to A &M. Yeah, we'll see what happens.

00:51:19.789 --> 00:51:22.449
What was A &M's schedule look like? It was a

00:51:22.449 --> 00:51:24.650
soft schedule. I heard it. It was a soft schedule.

00:51:25.010 --> 00:51:27.909
Oh, they went on the road and beat Notre Dame.

00:51:28.710 --> 00:51:31.469
Okay. It was a close game, but they went on the

00:51:31.469 --> 00:51:32.769
road and beat Notre Dame. What I'm saying is

00:51:32.769 --> 00:51:35.050
all these teams have weak schedules for the most

00:51:35.050 --> 00:51:37.730
part. A &M has just as weak for Texas Tech. A

00:51:37.730 --> 00:51:40.369
&M did as well. To say the Texas Tech schedule

00:51:40.369 --> 00:51:45.449
was weaker than A &M I think is flawed. Because

00:51:45.449 --> 00:51:47.110
I think A &M had a weak one. I think Ohio State

00:51:47.110 --> 00:51:50.449
had a weak schedule. Right. So did Indiana. Hey,

00:51:50.469 --> 00:51:52.909
at this point, whatever's happened in the season

00:51:52.909 --> 00:51:56.389
does not matter. No. This is it. This is where

00:51:56.389 --> 00:52:00.650
it's all gets decided. So I'm super excited.

00:52:00.889 --> 00:52:03.130
And I am rooting for Texas Tech, and I am rooting

00:52:03.130 --> 00:52:06.510
for Oklahoma against Alabama. Oh, yeah, me too.

00:52:06.710 --> 00:52:10.590
Ole Miss I'm rooting for. Of course, A &M. Ole

00:52:10.590 --> 00:52:13.809
Miss lost their coach. Yeah, that'll be interesting.

00:52:14.809 --> 00:52:17.949
I thought it might disqualify them. Yeah, I thought

00:52:17.949 --> 00:52:20.389
it might disqualify them because, you know, your

00:52:20.389 --> 00:52:23.809
coach walked away from a championship shot, right?

00:52:24.590 --> 00:52:26.929
Yeah, but, I mean, that wasn't his call, right?

00:52:26.969 --> 00:52:28.920
Last year they kicked out. Last year they kicked

00:52:28.920 --> 00:52:31.360
out Florida State because they lost their quarterback.

00:52:31.539 --> 00:52:34.360
It didn't affect their record one bit, but they

00:52:34.360 --> 00:52:36.320
said, no, you're disqualified because your quarterback

00:52:36.320 --> 00:52:38.739
is hurt. And they kicked him out because of that.

00:52:38.800 --> 00:52:40.239
And I'm like. Yeah, you're not the same team.

00:52:40.360 --> 00:52:42.159
You're not the same team anymore. And they actually

00:52:42.159 --> 00:52:44.539
put that into the conversation. Yeah. And Florida

00:52:44.539 --> 00:52:47.019
State's like, are you kidding me? We rolled through

00:52:47.019 --> 00:52:49.380
everyone. Right. Every challenge that we had.

00:52:49.619 --> 00:52:52.500
That's crazy. And now you're saying that we're

00:52:52.500 --> 00:52:56.900
not that team anymore because one player is gone?

00:52:57.079 --> 00:53:00.769
Right. So there's a case for taking them out,

00:53:00.849 --> 00:53:03.610
right? Or at least lowering them, right? Maybe

00:53:03.610 --> 00:53:07.090
we should have been six instead of, what are

00:53:07.090 --> 00:53:09.230
we, seven? I don't see why you would punish the

00:53:09.230 --> 00:53:12.150
players for what the coach decided, right? And

00:53:12.150 --> 00:53:14.670
there's a whole coaching staff. It's not just

00:53:14.670 --> 00:53:17.429
one coach. Yeah, but he usually takes the coaching

00:53:17.429 --> 00:53:20.050
staff with him, the good ones. But he'll be there.

00:53:20.230 --> 00:53:22.250
And Ole Miss gave him the Heisman when he said,

00:53:22.289 --> 00:53:24.429
I'll coach the playoff team. So they're, no,

00:53:24.449 --> 00:53:27.510
you're not. Because it would have been like Schlossnagel

00:53:27.510 --> 00:53:30.769
last year at the College World Series. As he's

00:53:30.769 --> 00:53:33.110
being courted by Texas, he's coaching Texas A

00:53:33.110 --> 00:53:36.730
&M players. Right. Yeah, that's tricky. This

00:53:36.730 --> 00:53:38.489
whole thing's gotten kind of jacked up. But,

00:53:38.489 --> 00:53:40.969
I mean, they'll work this stuff out. I think

00:53:40.969 --> 00:53:43.070
they will. They'll work this stuff out. I don't

00:53:43.070 --> 00:53:45.809
know if they need to. It's a little messy, right?

00:53:45.909 --> 00:53:48.429
But at least they're transitioning to a broader

00:53:48.429 --> 00:53:51.750
set of players. teams in a playoff structure,

00:53:51.969 --> 00:53:54.590
I think that's good. Controversy leads to conversation

00:53:54.590 --> 00:53:56.929
is what it comes down to, right? Yes, yes. Hey,

00:53:56.989 --> 00:53:58.550
I want to say one other thing about the Big 12.

00:53:58.769 --> 00:54:03.949
So Ohio State and Kansas State both got invited

00:54:03.949 --> 00:54:07.769
to bowls and they declined them. And that's that

00:54:07.769 --> 00:54:11.389
they are... Iowa State, you said? Yes. You said

00:54:11.389 --> 00:54:13.610
Ohio. You said Ohio State. Oh, Iowa State and

00:54:13.610 --> 00:54:17.030
Kansas State. Yeah. They both qualified for bowls.

00:54:17.150 --> 00:54:20.929
Yes. And they declined. And they contractually

00:54:20.929 --> 00:54:24.030
cannot do that. Oh, really? And so Big 12 fined

00:54:24.030 --> 00:54:26.769
them a half a million dollars each. Wow. Notre

00:54:26.769 --> 00:54:28.489
Dame did that, but they're not part of a conference,

00:54:28.570 --> 00:54:31.429
so nobody cares. That's right. So Big 12 said,

00:54:31.570 --> 00:54:33.650
uh -uh, you can't do that. There's some five

00:54:33.650 --> 00:54:35.449
and seven teams now that they're going to go

00:54:35.449 --> 00:54:38.590
invite. To be in a bowl game because other people

00:54:38.590 --> 00:54:39.590
are backing out. Because they're backing out.

00:54:39.670 --> 00:54:42.110
And so they basically asked the players, and

00:54:42.110 --> 00:54:43.590
the pair was like, oh, that's good. We don't

00:54:43.590 --> 00:54:45.449
want to go to this bowl. Because now people are

00:54:45.449 --> 00:54:48.489
not caring about bowls and all these other bowls.

00:54:48.769 --> 00:54:50.269
The Tax Slayer Bowl. There's too many bowls.

00:54:51.349 --> 00:54:54.469
There's too many. Right. Well, and there always

00:54:54.469 --> 00:54:57.489
were too many, but it... They all didn't matter.

00:54:57.789 --> 00:54:59.750
Well, no, it wasn't always like that because

00:54:59.750 --> 00:55:01.409
I remember you had the Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl,

00:55:01.710 --> 00:55:05.190
Orange Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, and there were a couple

00:55:05.190 --> 00:55:07.230
of small ones like the Cotton Bowl, the Fiesta,

00:55:07.329 --> 00:55:10.710
or there's another one, Citrus Bowl maybe. Yeah.

00:55:10.750 --> 00:55:13.929
But now there's 75 of them. Well, now it's going

00:55:13.929 --> 00:55:15.929
to make all these other bowls completely irrelevant,

00:55:16.170 --> 00:55:18.170
and they're not going to get the advertising

00:55:18.170 --> 00:55:20.369
money or the sponsorships because - And I'm fine

00:55:20.369 --> 00:55:22.670
with that. Yeah, it's going to be a problem.

00:55:22.769 --> 00:55:23.909
And I'm okay with that because some of these

00:55:23.909 --> 00:55:25.409
games, because I watch some of them. Yeah, but

00:55:25.409 --> 00:55:29.570
this playoff series is going to destroy revenue

00:55:29.570 --> 00:55:33.429
-generating money for way bigger than you guys

00:55:33.429 --> 00:55:35.349
probably realize. Yeah. You don't want to go

00:55:35.349 --> 00:55:39.289
see the Tropical Smoothie Bowl? No. Actually,

00:55:39.329 --> 00:55:41.510
that one's in Frisco. Armed Forces Bowl. I'm

00:55:41.510 --> 00:55:42.849
actually probably going to go to that because

00:55:42.849 --> 00:55:45.269
Ohio University is playing UNLV, so I'll probably

00:55:45.269 --> 00:55:47.710
go to that game. Oh, just Division II? No, it's

00:55:47.710 --> 00:55:51.920
Ohio University on the Mac. I know, but this

00:55:51.920 --> 00:55:56.079
is... It's not Division 2. They could have been

00:55:56.079 --> 00:55:57.639
in here if their record was good enough. Oh,

00:55:57.639 --> 00:56:01.320
I see, I see. What do we host every year? The

00:56:01.320 --> 00:56:05.059
Frisco Bowl. But it's like the Division... No,

00:56:05.179 --> 00:56:07.679
that's a different one. That's what I'm talking

00:56:07.679 --> 00:56:12.360
about. We host the championship. We usually host

00:56:12.360 --> 00:56:15.059
the Division 2 championship. Okay, that's what

00:56:15.059 --> 00:56:16.829
I'm talking about. And we have a... Bowl game.

00:56:17.050 --> 00:56:18.250
Yeah, we have an actual bowl game. Yeah, I didn't

00:56:18.250 --> 00:56:19.550
know about the bowl game. I didn't know about

00:56:19.550 --> 00:56:20.989
the bowl game. That's good. Nobody knows. It's

00:56:20.989 --> 00:56:24.630
December 23rd. Is this the first year we have

00:56:24.630 --> 00:56:27.750
done that? No. It's been a few years. Okay, well,

00:56:27.769 --> 00:56:30.050
that's cool. It seems like the Division II is

00:56:30.050 --> 00:56:31.889
always the same team. North Dakota. North Dakota

00:56:31.889 --> 00:56:34.110
State, yeah. It's always. It seems like it's

00:56:34.110 --> 00:56:35.949
always them. Because they're really good. Yeah,

00:56:35.969 --> 00:56:38.730
apparently. All right, cool. All right, so real

00:56:38.730 --> 00:56:42.969
quick, NFL. So crazy shit going on there because

00:56:42.969 --> 00:56:46.900
teams that may not make. The playoffs, like the

00:56:46.900 --> 00:56:49.679
Chiefs. I'm okay with that. I know. It's great.

00:56:49.840 --> 00:56:52.559
No, I think there might be some new teams that

00:56:52.559 --> 00:56:54.420
get into the playoffs that are a little more

00:56:54.420 --> 00:56:56.739
exciting to watch. Like the Pats? Like the Jaguars?

00:56:56.960 --> 00:57:01.079
No, not the Pats. Screw the Pats. Yeah. Anyway.

00:57:01.300 --> 00:57:03.820
Yeah, the Jaguars. I'm just saying. Seattle.

00:57:04.320 --> 00:57:07.119
It's kind of nice to see different teams. Oh,

00:57:07.159 --> 00:57:10.219
I agree. 100%. Yeah, the change of the guard

00:57:10.219 --> 00:57:13.619
needs to happen. Yeah. Because they already are

00:57:13.619 --> 00:57:16.760
dealing with, they have a limited talent, so

00:57:16.760 --> 00:57:19.440
it's kind of nice. Yeah. You know, you don't

00:57:19.440 --> 00:57:20.920
know what's going to happen. I mean, the talent

00:57:20.920 --> 00:57:23.679
pool right now, because there's set money, so

00:57:23.679 --> 00:57:26.639
they have salary caps. Right. So, you know. Unfortunately,

00:57:26.739 --> 00:57:30.039
I think Indianapolis may be done. Yeah. Well,

00:57:30.119 --> 00:57:32.900
they lost their big quarterback, so what about,

00:57:33.000 --> 00:57:34.400
what's his name? He's going to, Phillip Rivers

00:57:34.400 --> 00:57:36.059
is going to lead them all the way to the end.

00:57:36.440 --> 00:57:39.349
We'll see. We'll see about that. That's the strangest

00:57:39.349 --> 00:57:42.010
signing. That was today. Hey, man, but look.

00:57:42.170 --> 00:57:44.809
I love it. If he can fucking do it, then do it.

00:57:44.829 --> 00:57:46.889
Oh, I love Phillip Rivers, man. He's a competitor.

00:57:47.210 --> 00:57:48.869
Oh, the Bengals are still on the bubble. God,

00:57:48.909 --> 00:57:50.349
what's their percentage? It's got to have gone

00:57:50.349 --> 00:57:53.510
down. Well, they're four and what? Four and ten?

00:57:53.750 --> 00:57:56.090
Four and eight. One percent chance. I'm just

00:57:56.090 --> 00:57:57.969
saying there's a chance. There's still a chance.

00:57:58.190 --> 00:58:00.309
Well, there is a chance. What's the Titans' chance?

00:58:00.949 --> 00:58:02.449
The Cowboys, I think, are at eight percent, I

00:58:02.449 --> 00:58:04.809
think. You got a Z. What does that mean? That

00:58:04.809 --> 00:58:07.789
means you're out. What? You zuck. Why am I not

00:58:07.789 --> 00:58:10.590
told about these things? That means zero. Zero.

00:58:10.610 --> 00:58:15.969
Zero chance. But we're only 2 -11. Go up to the

00:58:15.969 --> 00:58:19.250
Cowboys. You can always hope the Raiders win

00:58:19.250 --> 00:58:23.329
one more game. Yeah, so that we can get the first

00:58:23.329 --> 00:58:28.440
pick. Again. Again. Again. Back to back. What's

00:58:28.440 --> 00:58:30.119
the percentage on the Cowboys? I think it's like

00:58:30.119 --> 00:58:33.440
8 % or 9%. It's not good. 10%. Oh, it's up to

00:58:33.440 --> 00:58:35.739
10 % now. Yeah, because the Eagles are kind of

00:58:35.739 --> 00:58:37.340
falling on their face. They lost three in a row

00:58:37.340 --> 00:58:39.500
now. So they're 9 -5, right? The Eagles are 9

00:58:39.500 --> 00:58:45.139
-5? 8. 8 -5. 8 -5. And the problem is our tie.

00:58:45.400 --> 00:58:48.400
We're 6 -6 -1. So we have less losses. Yeah.

00:58:49.300 --> 00:58:52.519
Interesting. Less losses, but one tie. Well,

00:58:52.639 --> 00:58:55.460
less losses is what makes it work. Yeah. And

00:58:55.460 --> 00:58:57.920
heads up. I'm excited. I'm excited about both

00:58:57.920 --> 00:59:00.239
the college playoffs and I'm excited about the

00:59:00.239 --> 00:59:02.219
NFL playoffs, despite the fact that my team is

00:59:02.219 --> 00:59:04.139
not going to be there for quite a while. And

00:59:04.139 --> 00:59:06.659
the fantasy football. Oh, dude, I'm number one.

00:59:07.300 --> 00:59:10.420
Are you? Yeah. I won. Did you win this week,

00:59:10.480 --> 00:59:14.340
Jeff? I did. I won big. Oh. I had 129. I think

00:59:14.340 --> 00:59:18.420
the Beavs had like 58. Yeah, you destroyed them.

00:59:18.460 --> 00:59:20.840
Well, that's what Jerry gets for bringing a piece

00:59:20.840 --> 00:59:22.639
of paper with a bunch of little notes on there.

00:59:22.760 --> 00:59:24.699
You know, I brought my studies right here, a

00:59:24.699 --> 00:59:28.510
little paper. He's like. That's not enough, man.

00:59:28.730 --> 00:59:32.289
He's awesome. And by the way, he is moving. What

00:59:32.289 --> 00:59:36.610
does that mean? He is moving to Houston. That's

00:59:36.610 --> 00:59:38.750
going to be a long trip. Yeah, well, he's going

00:59:38.750 --> 00:59:40.070
to have to do what Linda does, which is call

00:59:40.070 --> 00:59:43.550
in. Or? Or? Or we have the draft in Houston.

00:59:44.230 --> 00:59:48.690
Or? Or? We all go remote? We kick him out? No,

00:59:48.909 --> 00:59:50.969
he's going to travel up here. He'll just stay

00:59:50.969 --> 00:59:52.909
at somebody's house. That'd be fine, too, but

00:59:52.909 --> 00:59:54.449
he probably won't do that. He'll probably just

00:59:54.449 --> 00:59:56.719
dial in. But we'll see. Who knows? He may want

00:59:56.719 --> 01:00:02.800
to. It'd be fun. Oh, yeah. Let's talk about our,

01:00:02.800 --> 01:00:08.519
is this a unicorn, right? Is it a rare? Actually,

01:00:08.639 --> 01:00:11.480
I don't know. Let me scan. But I will tell you,

01:00:11.519 --> 01:00:15.059
this is Natterjack Irish Whiskey. So there are,

01:00:15.300 --> 01:00:17.059
from what I know, there's two or three, there's

01:00:17.059 --> 01:00:20.639
three versions of it that I saw at Sips and McKinney.

01:00:21.059 --> 01:00:24.780
Natterjack. Natterjack Irish Whiskey. So there

01:00:24.780 --> 01:00:26.179
you go. Up on the screen there, there's Irish

01:00:26.179 --> 01:00:28.500
Whiskey, Cast Strength, and this one says The

01:00:28.500 --> 01:00:29.980
Mistake. I'm not sure what that's all about.

01:00:33.029 --> 01:00:35.590
746. Virgin American oak. It says this is common.

01:00:36.929 --> 01:00:38.929
It's easy to get. Why are we even drinking this?

01:00:38.929 --> 01:00:41.309
Let's not say it's bad. It's not hard to find.

01:00:41.329 --> 01:00:42.690
Well, I mean, it has a very interesting taste.

01:00:42.750 --> 01:00:44.530
So this is Natterjack. It's Irish whiskey out

01:00:44.530 --> 01:00:46.030
there. Folks, look, I don't normally buy the

01:00:46.030 --> 01:00:48.389
Irish whiskey, but I was over at Sips, and we

01:00:48.389 --> 01:00:52.380
were talking to Stan. Shout out to Stan. He was

01:00:52.380 --> 01:00:55.820
kind of like, this juice fucks. Stan always says

01:00:55.820 --> 01:00:57.739
that. Oh, this fucks, man. You guys got to get

01:00:57.739 --> 01:00:59.559
over here and shake this. And so Jeff and I,

01:00:59.579 --> 01:01:00.619
I think we went over there. We're like, well,

01:01:00.679 --> 01:01:03.980
I have a sample. I was like, can we get our sample?

01:01:04.119 --> 01:01:05.900
He's like, I just gave you one. I was like, what?

01:01:06.719 --> 01:01:09.900
I don't understand. I don't remember. So four

01:01:09.900 --> 01:01:12.340
samples later, we're just like, anyways, this

01:01:12.340 --> 01:01:16.659
was 126 proof for this particular bottle. 126

01:01:16.659 --> 01:01:19.239
proof. It's got a set of levels. It doesn't taste

01:01:19.239 --> 01:01:21.480
like it. It doesn't taste anything like it. And

01:01:21.480 --> 01:01:24.800
it's got almost like a single malt taste to it.

01:01:24.880 --> 01:01:30.820
It does. I'm enjoying it. It's good. I'll leave

01:01:30.820 --> 01:01:32.760
it at there. For being an Irish whiskey, it's

01:01:32.760 --> 01:01:34.360
going to score high. For being a high proof,

01:01:34.559 --> 01:01:38.199
it's going to score high. But the thing is, you've

01:01:38.199 --> 01:01:40.320
got to be careful. It's a different animal. Yes,

01:01:40.619 --> 01:01:44.340
you cannot compare this to... In any way, shape,

01:01:44.360 --> 01:01:46.420
or form to a bourbon. Yeah, well, we're not Irish

01:01:46.420 --> 01:01:48.599
whiskey. We're really an Irish whiskey. Yeah,

01:01:48.619 --> 01:01:52.019
we're not Irish whiskey. We don't have a lot

01:01:52.019 --> 01:01:54.840
of them. We have Murphy's Irish whiskey out there.

01:01:54.840 --> 01:01:56.579
We have Jameson's and stuff out there. This is

01:01:56.579 --> 01:02:00.239
very unique to me. I mean, especially for the

01:02:00.239 --> 01:02:04.780
proof. No, I like this a lot, but I don't know

01:02:04.780 --> 01:02:06.920
a lot about Irish whiskeys. We have a couple,

01:02:07.039 --> 01:02:11.500
so we don't have the snobbery around this that

01:02:11.500 --> 01:02:15.010
we do bourbon. Except for the proof. It's very

01:02:15.010 --> 01:02:19.949
smooth. Yeah. It doesn't have a vicious finish

01:02:19.949 --> 01:02:23.690
at all. The finish is pretty quick for me anyway.

01:02:23.849 --> 01:02:27.809
It's quick but smooth. Yeah. There's some sweetness

01:02:27.809 --> 01:02:30.949
in there. So Natterjack Irish Whiskey, it's founded

01:02:30.949 --> 01:02:35.960
by Aidan Mahigan. Jordan Villa and Lisa Mahigan,

01:02:36.019 --> 01:02:38.320
I guess they're married, blends Irish tradition

01:02:38.320 --> 01:02:41.420
with American bourbon techniques using high corn

01:02:41.420 --> 01:02:44.800
mash bills and ex -bourbon or new American oak

01:02:44.800 --> 01:02:47.719
aging for a modern, approachable taste. Named

01:02:47.719 --> 01:02:51.260
after Ireland's unique walking natterjack toad

01:02:51.260 --> 01:02:54.800
with future plans for a distillery in Old Wool

01:02:54.800 --> 01:02:58.510
Mill, the brand focuses on adventure, following

01:02:58.510 --> 01:03:01.409
the Toad's Walk Your Own Path echoes and was

01:03:01.409 --> 01:03:03.409
later supported by the U .S. investors to grow

01:03:03.409 --> 01:03:04.929
in the United States market. Why don't you pull

01:03:04.929 --> 01:03:07.750
a video up of that thing walking? I like this.

01:03:08.110 --> 01:03:10.309
Like I said, I don't know a lot about Irish squeezes,

01:03:10.329 --> 01:03:12.829
but I know I like this. Yeah, Nashville, 80 %

01:03:12.829 --> 01:03:19.090
corn, 80 % corn and 20 % malted barley. Triple

01:03:19.090 --> 01:03:23.170
distilled, matured, oops, something just happened.

01:03:23.250 --> 01:03:25.449
I didn't like that. And the distillery is called

01:03:25.449 --> 01:03:31.190
Gordon North. No, Gortonor. Gortonor. Am I saying

01:03:31.190 --> 01:03:32.670
that right? Is that where it's made, the city?

01:03:32.710 --> 01:03:36.789
Gortonor. Gortonor. Gortonor. Oh, yeah, the Gortonor

01:03:36.789 --> 01:03:41.590
distillery. It's matured in used ex -bourbon

01:03:41.590 --> 01:03:44.469
barrels and finished in virgin American oak.

01:03:45.769 --> 01:03:48.389
Virgin American oak. Why is that necessary to

01:03:48.389 --> 01:03:51.480
say? meaning it's never been... Yeah, I know

01:03:51.480 --> 01:03:53.820
what it means, but I mean... It hasn't been soiled.

01:03:53.820 --> 01:03:57.800
It hasn't been penetrated. Still has its hymen.

01:03:57.980 --> 01:04:01.079
No, no, I'm saying it penetrates the wood, right?

01:04:01.300 --> 01:04:04.119
So it's matured in ex -bourbon barrels, and then

01:04:04.119 --> 01:04:06.800
it's finished in virgin air. That's almost double

01:04:06.800 --> 01:04:09.139
-oaked. But you look at this, and you're like,

01:04:09.219 --> 01:04:10.559
well, for being double -oaked, you would think

01:04:10.559 --> 01:04:12.920
it'd be darker, right? How old is this? Two years

01:04:12.920 --> 01:04:15.719
old. Is that what it says? Yeah. Well, it's the

01:04:15.719 --> 01:04:21.590
brand... Well, it's two years. It says 2023.

01:04:22.010 --> 01:04:25.530
It says captured and bottled in 2023. Well, when

01:04:25.530 --> 01:04:30.670
was it distilled? Oh, so you captured and bottled

01:04:30.670 --> 01:04:34.110
in 2023. That's what I thought. So it was bottled,

01:04:34.130 --> 01:04:39.230
but when was it barreled? Oh. When was it distilled

01:04:39.230 --> 01:04:41.610
is when you want to find out. It doesn't say.

01:04:44.429 --> 01:04:47.650
Obviously not very long because it's very light.

01:04:47.809 --> 01:04:51.440
Maybe you don't age Irish whiskey for I don't

01:04:51.440 --> 01:04:53.760
know. I don't know enough about Irish whiskey.

01:04:54.139 --> 01:04:59.460
I know it's from France. I can't see anything

01:04:59.460 --> 01:05:01.820
about it. It says they've acquired distribution

01:05:01.820 --> 01:05:04.480
rights in 2022, so it's got to be older than

01:05:04.480 --> 01:05:12.619
three years. I don't know. It's tasty. It is

01:05:12.619 --> 01:05:16.099
tasty. I like it. Well, for an Irish whiskey,

01:05:16.260 --> 01:05:18.440
I'll tell you what. This thing is, it's got a

01:05:18.440 --> 01:05:21.340
United States spin on this thing for sure. I'm

01:05:21.340 --> 01:05:24.260
enjoying it. They took an Irish whiskey and,

01:05:24.280 --> 01:05:27.239
I mean, because traditionally we went to tearing.

01:05:27.639 --> 01:05:30.679
Teeling. Teeling. And don't they make Irish whiskey

01:05:30.679 --> 01:05:34.500
like these big metal vats? I don't remember.

01:05:34.860 --> 01:05:36.599
There's a different process to make Irish whiskey

01:05:36.599 --> 01:05:38.719
as opposed to the bourbons. And the fact that

01:05:38.719 --> 01:05:41.920
they took an Irish whiskey and they added. The

01:05:41.920 --> 01:05:45.599
Americanized version of a bourbon is why I kind

01:05:45.599 --> 01:05:48.320
of like this. So you're saying other Irish whiskeys

01:05:48.320 --> 01:05:50.460
aren't aged in bourbon barrels? I believe so.

01:05:50.639 --> 01:05:52.440
I believe they're not. I don't know. I've got

01:05:52.440 --> 01:05:55.039
to check on that. Probably need to call a friend.

01:05:55.139 --> 01:05:57.280
What is it called? The Million Dollar Show? Phone

01:05:57.280 --> 01:06:00.159
a friend? We call up a lifeline. Call up Stan

01:06:00.159 --> 01:06:05.000
or something. But, you know, it's got that single

01:06:05.000 --> 01:06:10.079
malt taste to it, which is indignative of...

01:06:10.320 --> 01:06:16.500
of being distilled or maturing in these big,

01:06:16.519 --> 01:06:18.679
large casks. I mean, isn't that the way they

01:06:18.679 --> 01:06:21.320
do that? I don't know. Well, in order to get

01:06:21.320 --> 01:06:23.019
the color, it has to be in a barrel. It's got

01:06:23.019 --> 01:06:25.039
to be in a barrel. Yeah, well, that's it. It's

01:06:25.039 --> 01:06:30.719
finished. So it matured in a used barrel. Oh,

01:06:30.820 --> 01:06:32.519
in used. If it's in a steel cask, it's not doing

01:06:32.519 --> 01:06:34.460
anything. No, it's not. It's just sitting there.

01:06:34.619 --> 01:06:36.099
But it's got that single malt. That's what I'm

01:06:36.099 --> 01:06:37.559
saying. It's got a single malt kind of flavor

01:06:37.559 --> 01:06:39.820
to it. I don't know. I do enjoy it, though. Yeah,

01:06:39.880 --> 01:06:43.000
I like it. It's tasty. I recommend it. How much

01:06:43.000 --> 01:06:47.860
is it? It was like $85, $90. Yeah, if you can

01:06:47.860 --> 01:06:50.320
find it. Plus, it's got a very nice metal toad

01:06:50.320 --> 01:06:53.440
on the front. Yeah, it's embossed in a big old...

01:06:53.440 --> 01:06:55.840
Is that a toad or a frog? It's a toad. I think

01:06:55.840 --> 01:06:57.400
it's a toad. You may be able to pop that off

01:06:57.400 --> 01:07:01.860
and make a brooch out of it. A brooch? A brooch.

01:07:02.239 --> 01:07:06.440
To put on his... A little brooch. Did you ever

01:07:06.440 --> 01:07:12.380
have the kid's book, Toad and the Frog or Frog

01:07:12.380 --> 01:07:14.840
and the Toad? Do you know what I'm talking about?

01:07:14.880 --> 01:07:15.940
I know what you're talking about. Very popular

01:07:15.940 --> 01:07:17.900
kid's book. Did he wear a top hat? Yeah, make

01:07:17.900 --> 01:07:20.059
a belt buckle out of it and call it Toad's Wild

01:07:20.059 --> 01:07:23.659
Ride or something. Yes. That was a Disney ride.

01:07:23.739 --> 01:07:25.900
Would you like to go on Toad's Wild Ride? That's

01:07:25.900 --> 01:07:27.239
a Disney ride. That's one of my favorites as

01:07:27.239 --> 01:07:29.699
a kid growing up. Really? Toad's Wild Ride? What

01:07:29.699 --> 01:07:32.800
are you guys talking about? At Disney World?

01:07:33.039 --> 01:07:34.599
Yeah, go to Disney World. Yeah, go to Disney

01:07:34.599 --> 01:07:37.559
World. Well. I've never been to Disney World.

01:07:37.679 --> 01:07:39.840
Can't afford it. And I grew up in a poor family.

01:07:40.019 --> 01:07:43.300
I just didn't care. I mean, I say that. Wow,

01:07:43.400 --> 01:07:45.679
look at you. I would have gone if I had cared.

01:07:45.980 --> 01:07:49.119
Nah, dude. First of all, I didn't get to go.

01:07:49.559 --> 01:07:52.820
I mean, I went to Six Flags and I enjoyed it,

01:07:52.860 --> 01:07:54.500
but even at Six Flags, I was kind of like, this

01:07:54.500 --> 01:07:56.539
is too fucking expensive. That's what it comes

01:07:56.539 --> 01:07:59.739
down to. It's expensive as shit. And you can't

01:07:59.739 --> 01:08:04.489
go, so you're like, I don't care. Right. But

01:08:04.489 --> 01:08:06.510
you would have cared. But I would have cared.

01:08:06.630 --> 01:08:08.630
Your parents could have afforded it. I know we're

01:08:08.630 --> 01:08:11.570
all kind of down on Disney in general, but the

01:08:11.570 --> 01:08:13.769
parks are extremely well done. Yeah. No, you

01:08:13.769 --> 01:08:16.689
said that. Extremely well done. And it's an experience

01:08:16.689 --> 01:08:19.989
that is extremely expensive, but I think it should

01:08:19.989 --> 01:08:23.130
be done if you can do it. So we have been to

01:08:23.130 --> 01:08:25.449
Disney World. I won't be doing it. Shelly and

01:08:25.449 --> 01:08:28.010
I took the boys, all three of them, to Disney

01:08:28.010 --> 01:08:30.770
World. And we're the only family that hated it.

01:08:32.000 --> 01:08:34.039
We went between Christmas and New Year's. That's

01:08:34.039 --> 01:08:36.100
the first mistake. That was a gateway. Horrible.

01:08:36.180 --> 01:08:40.880
First mistake. And there was a freak winter storm.

01:08:41.859 --> 01:08:46.899
In Orlando? Yeah, in Orlando. And so we had to

01:08:46.899 --> 01:08:54.439
buy like $85 hoodies. Right. So, right. And we

01:08:54.439 --> 01:08:58.779
didn't stay at the park. You got to stay on property.

01:08:58.800 --> 01:09:01.000
We did everything that you're supposed to do

01:09:01.000 --> 01:09:03.640
wrong. Right. You know what I mean? You stay

01:09:03.640 --> 01:09:05.699
at the park. You don't care about the money.

01:09:05.859 --> 01:09:08.579
You go when it's not crazy busy. You get your

01:09:08.579 --> 01:09:11.840
fast passes and you make sure you plan it out.

01:09:11.899 --> 01:09:15.359
We were there for the day, one day, and it was

01:09:15.359 --> 01:09:18.199
a short day. Right. And we were freezing to death.

01:09:18.380 --> 01:09:20.439
Right. And the kids were screaming and yelling

01:09:20.439 --> 01:09:22.340
and everybody was pissed off and we were like,

01:09:22.420 --> 01:09:24.899
fuck Disney World. Right. But that's not fair.

01:09:25.180 --> 01:09:28.880
That's not really a good assessment of how...

01:09:28.880 --> 01:09:30.779
You and Shelly should go back. Wonderful. Just

01:09:30.779 --> 01:09:32.859
the two of you. Well, I mean, when you guys went

01:09:32.859 --> 01:09:35.529
and you... Oh, we had a blast. I know. We had

01:09:35.529 --> 01:09:37.750
no itinerary, nothing. Just the two of you. We

01:09:37.750 --> 01:09:40.189
just winged it all day. Yeah, remember you and

01:09:40.189 --> 01:09:42.210
I were like, you guys are going to Disney World

01:09:42.210 --> 01:09:44.409
by yourselves? Well, you know what? I'm glad

01:09:44.409 --> 01:09:45.930
you enjoyed it. I don't know if it's something

01:09:45.930 --> 01:09:47.609
I would enjoy anymore. I think you would. Yeah,

01:09:47.630 --> 01:09:48.789
I think you would. I think you would. I think

01:09:48.789 --> 01:09:52.729
you'd enjoy the technical and engineering and

01:09:52.729 --> 01:09:55.029
all of that shit. You would get into that. Yeah,

01:09:55.029 --> 01:09:56.489
because they have a great white shark that goes.

01:09:57.229 --> 01:09:59.170
Yeah, that's universal. Oh, damn. Never mind.

01:09:59.289 --> 01:10:05.939
Yeah. But it's very immersive. Immersive. Immersive.

01:10:05.939 --> 01:10:07.779
Maybe some of the Star Wars stuff. I don't know.

01:10:07.939 --> 01:10:10.760
I've never gone. Honestly, I've never really

01:10:10.760 --> 01:10:13.359
had a desire to go. We didn't do things like

01:10:13.359 --> 01:10:15.199
that growing up. But you're a hands -on guy.

01:10:15.319 --> 01:10:17.359
You could go to ERCOT and do all the little experiments.

01:10:17.479 --> 01:10:22.420
Epcot. Epcot. Not ERCOT. I said ERCOT. Isn't

01:10:22.420 --> 01:10:25.579
that an energy department? Oh, my God. I cannot

01:10:25.579 --> 01:10:27.340
believe it. Well, okay. First off, I work for

01:10:27.340 --> 01:10:31.560
a utility company, so ERCOT is top of mind. Oh,

01:10:31.659 --> 01:10:33.819
okay. It's top of mind. Oh, my God. Where's Jackie?

01:10:33.979 --> 01:10:37.260
That's so crazy. Where's Jackie? Utilities. Jackie

01:10:37.260 --> 01:10:40.020
Mac? Where's Jackie? What? I'm not saying it's

01:10:40.020 --> 01:10:42.859
a great thing. I work for a utility company.

01:10:42.859 --> 01:10:45.020
Hold on. Why are you bringing up Jackie Mac?

01:10:45.020 --> 01:10:46.800
Because Biden was looking for the dead woman

01:10:46.800 --> 01:10:49.840
at a speech, and it was in honor of her. Oh,

01:10:49.859 --> 01:10:50.899
there you go. And he's like, where's Jackie?

01:10:51.340 --> 01:10:53.479
Where's Jackie? Jackie, come on up here. And

01:10:53.479 --> 01:10:55.600
she was already dead. That's why they were gathered

01:10:55.600 --> 01:10:57.340
there to celebrate Jackie's life. What does that

01:10:57.340 --> 01:11:00.239
have to do with me saying ERCOT? You said because

01:11:00.239 --> 01:11:02.939
it was top of mind. And that was Jen Psaki's

01:11:02.939 --> 01:11:04.859
excuse. Oh, it was top of mind. Or not Jen Psaki,

01:11:04.979 --> 01:11:09.720
the other one. Jean. Yeah. Jean -Claude Van Damme.

01:11:09.720 --> 01:11:14.380
Jean Simmons. Jean -Claude Van Damme. Jean -Pierre.

01:11:14.899 --> 01:11:18.479
Oh, my God. She was top of mind. That's why he

01:11:18.479 --> 01:11:21.260
had that. Whatever. He was top of mind. Epcot.

01:11:21.619 --> 01:11:25.350
Epcot. Epcot. Epcot. I don't know. Epcot is a

01:11:25.350 --> 01:11:28.130
lot better than Disney. If we can get folks to

01:11:28.130 --> 01:11:33.170
donate to our podcast and we can find the means

01:11:33.170 --> 01:11:36.390
to fund some of the promotions required for this

01:11:36.390 --> 01:11:39.270
thing to go into the future. Hell, I'll go to

01:11:39.270 --> 01:11:42.350
Disney World. I'll go with you guys. We should

01:11:42.350 --> 01:11:44.909
do a podcast there. We should do a GoFundMe to

01:11:44.909 --> 01:11:48.289
send the four of us to Disney World. We would

01:11:48.289 --> 01:11:51.420
need about 10 grand. Seriously? Yes. Hey, come

01:11:51.420 --> 01:11:55.899
on. If you guys want us to do a video, let's

01:11:55.899 --> 01:11:58.439
do it. Yeah, it's expensive as shit. We need

01:11:58.439 --> 01:12:01.060
our listeners to step up and send us to exotic

01:12:01.060 --> 01:12:03.800
locations. I don't think they're going to be

01:12:03.800 --> 01:12:05.819
down for that. Maybe something else, though.

01:12:05.939 --> 01:12:08.180
No, it's extremely expensive to go to Disney

01:12:08.180 --> 01:12:12.520
World. All right, we'll start small. Yes. Real

01:12:12.520 --> 01:12:14.520
quick, I don't know how much time we got. Like

01:12:14.520 --> 01:12:17.199
a minute. Paul, tell us about your shingles vaccine.

01:12:17.820 --> 01:12:20.819
Oh, my God. I know what you went through. Oh,

01:12:20.899 --> 01:12:25.279
my God. So I had no idea. So back in 2022, I

01:12:25.279 --> 01:12:27.960
had a physical. And they said, would you like

01:12:27.960 --> 01:12:29.420
the shingles vaccine? And I'm like, you know

01:12:29.420 --> 01:12:31.880
what? My brother just had shingles. And he said,

01:12:32.020 --> 01:12:35.100
shingles, not the vaccine. He got shingles. And

01:12:35.100 --> 01:12:38.779
he was in misery. And I was like, yeah, why not?

01:12:38.840 --> 01:12:41.180
I'll do it. Got the first shot. Totally forgot

01:12:41.180 --> 01:12:44.039
about it until like two weeks ago. Was this the

01:12:44.039 --> 01:12:46.779
new shingles vaccine or the old one? I don't

01:12:46.779 --> 01:12:50.020
know. Shingrix, probably. I have no idea. Anyway,

01:12:50.140 --> 01:12:54.060
so I went to do my physical last week, and they

01:12:54.060 --> 01:12:55.800
were like, you know what? You never got the second

01:12:55.800 --> 01:12:58.859
shot of your shingles vaccine. Take your ass.

01:12:59.079 --> 01:13:01.380
I go, well, that was back in 22, and they're

01:13:01.380 --> 01:13:03.880
like, yeah, no, it doesn't matter. And by the

01:13:03.880 --> 01:13:06.539
way, the first shot, I was like, nothing. It

01:13:06.539 --> 01:13:08.279
was fine. I was like, okay, yeah, sure, I'll

01:13:08.279 --> 01:13:09.920
do it. And then they didn't tell me anything.

01:13:11.000 --> 01:13:16.720
And then that day, later that day. I start to

01:13:16.720 --> 01:13:21.380
shiver. Yep. I started to shiver, and I got a

01:13:21.380 --> 01:13:24.520
fever, and my heart was racing. And you know

01:13:24.520 --> 01:13:26.399
what? We've been talking about my sleep score

01:13:26.399 --> 01:13:31.460
on my phone, on my watch. My heart rate was so

01:13:31.460 --> 01:13:34.739
high the entire night, my watch detected no sleep.

01:13:36.119 --> 01:13:38.420
It said I did not sleep that night. And I did.

01:13:38.560 --> 01:13:40.619
But my heart rate was so high, it didn't detect

01:13:40.619 --> 01:13:45.850
it. And let's see. Muscle aches. I mean. It laid

01:13:45.850 --> 01:13:49.729
me up for a day. Yeah. No, no. Mine was late

01:13:49.729 --> 01:13:53.029
Thursday night, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday.

01:13:53.170 --> 01:13:55.449
No, it laid me up for one day. But I'll tell

01:13:55.449 --> 01:13:57.510
you what. No, I wasn't laid up per se. No, I

01:13:57.510 --> 01:14:00.029
felt like shit. I felt horrible. Like you had

01:14:00.029 --> 01:14:03.550
a low grade fever. Muscle stuff. I feel like

01:14:03.550 --> 01:14:07.579
crap. Yeah. Oh, horrible. And I had nausea. I

01:14:07.579 --> 01:14:10.079
didn't have that. I had green diarrhea. So is

01:14:10.079 --> 01:14:12.140
this something we have to get as a shingle vaccine?

01:14:12.479 --> 01:14:15.020
You don't have to get it. You can just get shingles

01:14:15.020 --> 01:14:16.539
instead. You can just get shingles instead. And

01:14:16.539 --> 01:14:19.119
I bet you if you got shingles, you would wish

01:14:19.119 --> 01:14:21.640
you had gotten the vaccine. That's what I hear.

01:14:22.000 --> 01:14:23.920
That's what I hear. Is that if you had chicken

01:14:23.920 --> 01:14:26.479
pox bad, then you probably don't need to get

01:14:26.479 --> 01:14:28.699
the shingles vaccine. That's incorrect. If you

01:14:28.699 --> 01:14:31.279
have chicken pox. It's the chicken pox virus

01:14:31.279 --> 01:14:33.539
that gives you shingles. Yeah. Well, I had chicken

01:14:33.539 --> 01:14:37.140
pox pretty bad. So they're saying that I probably

01:14:37.140 --> 01:14:39.000
won't get shingles is based on what the doctor

01:14:39.000 --> 01:14:41.180
said. Okay. It's a gamble. Yeah. I read that

01:14:41.180 --> 01:14:43.899
there's like one in three people will get shingles.

01:14:46.079 --> 01:14:48.739
That's a high percentage. And I didn't want to

01:14:48.739 --> 01:14:51.300
chance it. I didn't understand what was happening

01:14:51.300 --> 01:14:53.159
because they didn't tell me anything. And I got

01:14:53.159 --> 01:14:55.689
on chat GPT that night. And it said, oh, yeah,

01:14:55.789 --> 01:14:59.890
65 % of the people who get the second shot have

01:14:59.890 --> 01:15:02.710
the following symptoms. And I'm like, fuck. And

01:15:02.710 --> 01:15:06.210
then it said, and usually for 80 % of them, it's

01:15:06.210 --> 01:15:10.869
three to five days. For the other percent, it

01:15:10.869 --> 01:15:13.850
was five to seven days. And I was like, what?

01:15:14.069 --> 01:15:18.130
I had no idea. Now, do I regret it? No, I don't.

01:15:18.270 --> 01:15:20.890
Because, you know, hey, if I don't ever get shingles.

01:15:21.340 --> 01:15:24.500
I did my time. Right. And I survived. I only

01:15:24.500 --> 01:15:27.560
had one day of feeling bad. But the first one,

01:15:27.659 --> 01:15:31.560
did your arm hurt? Oh, yeah. Oh, it is the most

01:15:31.560 --> 01:15:33.960
painful fucking shot that I had ever had. You

01:15:33.960 --> 01:15:37.200
know what's funny? I was at a happy hour. That

01:15:37.200 --> 01:15:39.800
day, that night, because I got the shot in the

01:15:39.800 --> 01:15:41.800
morning, I was at a happy hour next to this guy

01:15:41.800 --> 01:15:45.399
who was probably like, hey, man. He kept hitting

01:15:45.399 --> 01:15:47.899
my arm. Right. And I was like, I couldn't go,

01:15:48.020 --> 01:15:52.539
oh, please, please stop. I got a shot. He literally

01:15:52.539 --> 01:15:54.340
hit me like six times. Each time I was like.

01:15:55.960 --> 01:15:57.760
Before we go, do you want to rate Natterjack?

01:15:58.000 --> 01:16:02.449
Oh, yeah. What am I rating against? This is an

01:16:02.449 --> 01:16:04.270
Irish whiskey. We haven't only had one other

01:16:04.270 --> 01:16:06.909
one. We've got to start somewhere. So this Irish

01:16:06.909 --> 01:16:09.310
whiskey at 126 proof. It's in the category all

01:16:09.310 --> 01:16:11.130
by itself. Tastes like single malt. It's got

01:16:11.130 --> 01:16:13.689
a wonderful taste to it. Nice spin to it. Old

01:16:13.689 --> 01:16:15.649
American. I'm going to give this thing a 7 .8.

01:16:16.550 --> 01:16:22.079
I'm going 6 .8. I'm at 7 .2. Good stuff. I scored

01:16:22.079 --> 01:16:25.520
it high. Good stuff. I agree. Shout out to Natterjack.

01:16:25.979 --> 01:16:27.939
I would buy that again. Again, I think we should

01:16:27.939 --> 01:16:29.680
always ask, will we buy this again? Yes, I would

01:16:29.680 --> 01:16:31.600
buy that again. Yes, that's a good one. I'm glad

01:16:31.600 --> 01:16:34.689
we got it. Yeah, good. All right, we've got two

01:16:34.689 --> 01:16:37.229
more weeks left. Join us next week. I mean, we've

01:16:37.229 --> 01:16:40.670
got Ann Anderson that's going to be showing up

01:16:40.670 --> 01:16:43.869
to the podcast. She is a local politician? Correct.

01:16:44.130 --> 01:16:46.470
She's looking for a city council. That's exciting.

01:16:46.590 --> 01:16:48.689
We've never had a politician, a person running

01:16:48.689 --> 01:16:51.750
for office on our show. Well, we have proposed

01:16:51.750 --> 01:16:57.130
Vincent Gonzalez to come out as the congressman.

01:16:57.229 --> 01:16:59.829
And maybe he will. Now, I think he listened to

01:16:59.829 --> 01:17:02.369
the podcast and kind of got scared. Honestly,

01:17:02.470 --> 01:17:05.510
I think that's what it is. Honestly, man, when

01:17:05.510 --> 01:17:09.210
people know what they're talking about collectively,

01:17:09.590 --> 01:17:11.810
they don't want to touch that. They don't want

01:17:11.810 --> 01:17:14.770
anyone to contest in them. Two weeks left before

01:17:14.770 --> 01:17:16.369
