WEBVTT

00:00:00.660 --> 00:00:07.599
Nice. We got the video going too? Yes, sir. Awesome.

00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:12.539
Tell you what. I'm so relaxed right this second.

00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:15.759
I'm kind of half asleep. Did you take a lude?

00:00:15.900 --> 00:00:20.879
Are ludes still things kids take? I don't know.

00:00:20.940 --> 00:00:23.500
What is the chemical composition of a lude? Because

00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:26.420
they may. It's a quaalude, right? Those are lude.

00:00:26.539 --> 00:00:31.120
L -U -D -E. That was acid? It's a barbiturate,

00:00:31.140 --> 00:00:33.200
I believe. I think it's a downer. Did anybody

00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:36.479
see Wolf of Wall Street? Yeah, he was on lewds.

00:00:36.820 --> 00:00:39.219
Yeah. Nice. So I don't know what it's made out

00:00:39.219 --> 00:00:43.340
of, but Quaaludes was, oh, there it is up there.

00:00:43.859 --> 00:00:47.340
Popular sedative hypnotic prescription medications

00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:50.340
in the mid -20th century. Yeah, they were, for

00:00:50.340 --> 00:00:52.600
whatever reason, popular in my middle school,

00:00:52.700 --> 00:00:55.520
of all things. Really? You had kids on lewds?

00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:57.840
Yeah, because I remember coming out of my seventh

00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:05.180
grade. language arts class and kid I know holds

00:01:05.180 --> 00:01:06.859
out his hand and goes hey man I was about to

00:01:06.859 --> 00:01:08.760
do a lewd I'll break I'll split it with you if

00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.019
you want and you're like okay and I was like

00:01:11.019 --> 00:01:13.359
no thanks I'm good he's like alright boom and

00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:14.659
he there's the water fountain right there because

00:01:14.659 --> 00:01:16.819
I was in line for the water fountain And then

00:01:16.819 --> 00:01:18.359
he acted like a maniac. Dude, that could have

00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:20.180
changed the course of your entire life. Yeah,

00:01:20.180 --> 00:01:22.079
you could be a druggie right now. Well, not just

00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:24.379
that. Imagine like nowadays, I mean, kids pop

00:01:24.379 --> 00:01:27.140
one of those, hey, whatever the fuck it is, and

00:01:27.140 --> 00:01:30.019
they're dead. Fentanyl. Well, that's how that

00:01:30.019 --> 00:01:32.420
happens. But no, the fentanyl thing wasn't around

00:01:32.420 --> 00:01:35.099
back then, at least that I was aware of. Back

00:01:35.099 --> 00:01:37.140
in our day, we could just pop a pill that somebody

00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:39.319
handed to us and we'd be A -OK. Well, back in

00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:42.159
those days, everything was different. I mean,

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:44.319
the marijuana wasn't as potent. It was a plant

00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:46.359
came right out. It wasn't this high - Drugs were

00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.519
safe. Hydroponic. Safe and fun. All right, this

00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:50.920
is the second half of the Dudes Like Us podcast.

00:01:51.180 --> 00:01:53.140
We're just jumping into this. January 6th, it's

00:01:53.140 --> 00:01:56.459
the first second half podcast of the year. It

00:01:56.459 --> 00:01:58.359
is. It is. It's so exciting. It is exciting.

00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:00.900
The first half, we got a shout out to the baller,

00:02:00.900 --> 00:02:04.700
single American malt. Single American malt. American

00:02:04.700 --> 00:02:08.860
single malt. Okay, I'm done. I'm done. Jesus.

00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:11.479
Chuck's on. We need a remote for that timer,

00:02:11.539 --> 00:02:13.000
don't we? Yeah, I'll reach over there and get

00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.659
it. Dudes Like Us, I'm Sean. I am Paul. And I'm

00:02:15.659 --> 00:02:20.000
Jeff. And we are started. Lewd culture became

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.199
synonymous with recreational drug use, especially

00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.479
in the 70s and 80s. That's exactly when I was

00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:27.900
offered one. So what, they just kind of skimmed

00:02:27.900 --> 00:02:29.900
them off their parents? Like your buddy just

00:02:29.900 --> 00:02:31.819
went into the medicine cabinet? I don't think

00:02:31.819 --> 00:02:34.020
parents had that kind of stuff. It wasn't something

00:02:34.020 --> 00:02:36.900
your parents, well, maybe your, maybe some wives

00:02:36.900 --> 00:02:40.360
did. How old were you? Seventh grade, so I don't

00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:42.759
know. Twelve years old? Eleven, twelve, thirteen.

00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.159
Damn. So, no, I don't think Quaaludes is something

00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:49.159
that were prescribed, were they? I think it was

00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:52.419
just like a street drug, like pot. I don't know.

00:02:52.539 --> 00:02:54.419
Or cocaine and shit like that. It makes you wonder,

00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:58.780
where does the market for these drugs come from?

00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:02.039
I mean, let's just do any of it. I mean, marijuana,

00:03:02.340 --> 00:03:06.120
cocaine, fentanyl. I mean, what's the push? Like

00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.139
who are the consumers? Who's pushing this stuff?

00:03:09.419 --> 00:03:16.139
It's all Venezuela. purposely was dumping drugs

00:03:16.139 --> 00:03:21.319
on the black communities. Correct. And where

00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.159
else are they doing this? I mean, the CIA was

00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:26.919
bringing drugs in. I mean, look, the United States

00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:29.800
is one of the best countries on the planet, period.

00:03:29.979 --> 00:03:32.919
But we're also the biggest piece of shit, period.

00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:37.180
Dark history, huge mistakes. And it's forever

00:03:37.180 --> 00:03:41.300
going. I mean, including all the fraud going

00:03:41.300 --> 00:03:44.180
on, not just in Minnesota. Minnesota's the tip

00:03:44.180 --> 00:03:46.800
of the iceberg that we just saw. Now, we're going

00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:48.659
to start unveiling all these different things.

00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:51.139
He says that California is going to be even bigger.

00:03:51.340 --> 00:03:53.719
It's endless, guys. I mean, come on. What do

00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:57.580
we spend? A trillion dollars in deficit. A trillion

00:03:57.580 --> 00:04:00.319
dollar deficit. And we spend, what, four or five

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:04.319
trillion every year? I saw a meme. I mean, so

00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.360
where do you think that goes? Come on. I saw

00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:08.120
a meme. A ton of fraud. I saw a meme. I don't

00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.639
know if it's true or not, but it broke it down.

00:04:10.699 --> 00:04:12.960
But Elon Musk even responded to it, and he says,

00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:17.720
uh agree or something like that we tax our taxable

00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:21.240
how much the government gets is like 2 .8 trillion

00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.899
dollars in taxes every right uh and it said 1

00:04:24.899 --> 00:04:30.639
.5 trillion is fraud so the remainder i can't

00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.439
remember whatever the math is 800 billion dollars

00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.120
900 billion dollars is really what needs to be

00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:40.399
taxed wow and he goes and and that says like

00:04:40.779 --> 00:04:43.019
Basically, everyone who makes less than $500

00:04:43.019 --> 00:04:46.920
,000 could pay zero taxes. If we implemented

00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.220
that. If we get rid of the fraud, the true taxes

00:04:50.220 --> 00:04:54.000
that need to be pooled would be $900 billion.

00:04:54.699 --> 00:04:57.180
Meaning this is truly how much it takes to run

00:04:57.180 --> 00:04:59.100
the country. Right. Because you can ignore the

00:04:59.100 --> 00:05:01.019
shit that people are just stealing from us. Correct.

00:05:01.060 --> 00:05:02.519
This is how much it takes to run the country.

00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:05.920
I got you. You know, and we really genuinely

00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.540
walk around with blinders on. And we're so forgiving.

00:05:10.089 --> 00:05:13.110
I mean, you've got – we're so forgiving. I mean,

00:05:13.129 --> 00:05:15.389
you've got the CNN – Well, I think that's starting

00:05:15.389 --> 00:05:18.389
to – What's his name? Dick? Who? The guy that

00:05:18.389 --> 00:05:21.370
was masturbating. Tubin. Jeffrey Tubin. He's

00:05:21.370 --> 00:05:23.709
Tubin. I bring that up. It's funny, but at the

00:05:23.709 --> 00:05:25.670
same time, my point is that we're so forgiving.

00:05:25.930 --> 00:05:27.610
I mean, we don't care. It's just like, all right,

00:05:27.629 --> 00:05:28.930
yeah, he just whacked off in front of a bunch

00:05:28.930 --> 00:05:31.170
of people. We'll just let him back into the CNN

00:05:31.170 --> 00:05:33.350
program. Why would they do something like that?

00:05:33.509 --> 00:05:36.069
It's just like we're always forgiving these people.

00:05:36.250 --> 00:05:39.319
No. You know, I mean, would they forgive me at

00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:41.399
work if I did something like that? No, they terminate

00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:43.500
you. You're fucking gone. Right. You know, nobody

00:05:43.500 --> 00:05:49.500
cares about you. Nobody cares about you. So why

00:05:49.500 --> 00:05:53.240
do we care about them? The status shit that they

00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:56.839
got going on. The pop stars, you know, just like,

00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.660
you know, these people doing drugs and, you know,

00:05:59.660 --> 00:06:01.860
the Diddy program. Oh, well, Diddy can get out.

00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.920
He's going to get out. Yep. He's not even going

00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:07.379
to be held accountable for all the shit he did.

00:06:07.459 --> 00:06:10.740
And you know damn well that he's got a factory

00:06:10.740 --> 00:06:17.279
of euthanizing victims. I think it also depends

00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:22.740
on what the crime or what the offense is, right?

00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:26.519
I mean, sexual assault is on the top of the list.

00:06:26.660 --> 00:06:28.800
Yeah. I think pedophilia is at the top of the

00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:30.060
list. It's top of the list. And you know what

00:06:30.060 --> 00:06:32.949
another one is? It's animal abuse. People freak

00:06:32.949 --> 00:06:35.649
out about animal abuse. Yeah. Like what happened

00:06:35.649 --> 00:06:37.769
to Michael Vick, right? Oh, yeah. They lost their

00:06:37.769 --> 00:06:40.490
shit. He still came back? He did. He still played

00:06:40.490 --> 00:06:42.589
for another. Yeah, he did his time. He spent

00:06:42.589 --> 00:06:45.529
three years in jail for running his dog crime

00:06:45.529 --> 00:06:47.810
or dog fighting ring. But my point is, I think

00:06:47.810 --> 00:06:49.509
there are some things that people don't forgive

00:06:49.509 --> 00:06:51.930
and the things that they do, or they just turn

00:06:51.930 --> 00:06:53.629
to look the other way. Is fraud one of them?

00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:56.860
I mean, do we not care about fraud? I do. That's

00:06:56.860 --> 00:06:59.220
taxpayer's money. That's my money. I think fraud

00:06:59.220 --> 00:07:04.459
is seen as a victimless crime. How is it impacting

00:07:04.459 --> 00:07:08.240
me? Well, we pay less taxes exponentially. Yeah,

00:07:08.339 --> 00:07:10.560
we would pay less taxes if these fuckers didn't.

00:07:10.579 --> 00:07:12.459
How do you visualize that? How do you get that

00:07:12.459 --> 00:07:15.319
across, though? Hey, if this $18 billion wasn't

00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.519
fraud, you would have saved $300 a year. Oh,

00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:20.980
I have a spreadsheet. that i go into and i start

00:07:20.980 --> 00:07:23.699
putting into perspective you've got things like

00:07:23.699 --> 00:07:25.980
all right well look my kids go to high school

00:07:25.980 --> 00:07:29.300
and i they my kid goes to band and i just had

00:07:29.300 --> 00:07:31.220
to dump fifteen hundred dollars into the school

00:07:31.220 --> 00:07:34.339
system uh to pay for all the equipment regardless

00:07:34.339 --> 00:07:37.139
whether it's band football soccer traveling expenses

00:07:37.139 --> 00:07:39.699
for it's it's little things like that it's it's

00:07:39.699 --> 00:07:42.379
the taxes for the road are our roads going to

00:07:42.379 --> 00:07:44.980
get better some of the roads around The United

00:07:44.980 --> 00:07:47.300
States is like a third world country. Some of

00:07:47.300 --> 00:07:50.300
the airports are such in a disarray and dysfunction.

00:07:51.100 --> 00:07:53.519
It's like a third world country. I mean, that's

00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:55.339
where that money goes to. Well, you asked why

00:07:55.339 --> 00:07:57.439
is fraud kind of seen as something different.

00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:00.660
I think it's because of that. You don't. It's

00:08:00.660 --> 00:08:04.319
not personally. It's not personally. It doesn't

00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:08.740
hurt me. Yes, financially. But I think it's not

00:08:08.740 --> 00:08:11.180
like. where you're like, wow, that's really,

00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.639
really bad. Why do you care? It's not your money.

00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:15.759
That's what they said. Well, it is your money.

00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.160
It is. But I think that's kind of why. It's kind

00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:21.839
of a, this money is out there. It's not the ether.

00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:23.779
People are stealing it. It's not attached to

00:08:23.779 --> 00:08:24.879
anybody. But I tell you what, this Minnesota

00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:27.660
fraud thing, it crawled all over me. It's disgusting.

00:08:28.180 --> 00:08:31.959
Billions of dollars from this. It's not just

00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:34.559
the fact that, you know, everybody's probably.

00:08:35.419 --> 00:08:37.779
Every state in the nation is probably doing this

00:08:37.779 --> 00:08:39.879
daycare fraud thing, right? But the point is,

00:08:39.899 --> 00:08:45.419
it was committed in mass by this Somali population.

00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.440
They knew about it, and they turned and looked

00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:50.360
the other way because they need the vote of the

00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:53.700
Somali population to stay in power. It's the

00:08:53.700 --> 00:08:56.980
whole thing that just is sick to the core. Well,

00:08:57.019 --> 00:08:59.000
I also have to tell you that I was listening

00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:01.419
to the radio, and they said there are other groups.

00:09:02.090 --> 00:09:04.509
that are committing just as much if not more

00:09:04.509 --> 00:09:07.710
fraud than that right the russian mob the italian

00:09:07.710 --> 00:09:11.789
mob the jews this group this group so there's

00:09:11.789 --> 00:09:15.090
these groups that are able to it's it's a nefarious

00:09:15.090 --> 00:09:17.990
thing and it's billions of dollars right not

00:09:17.990 --> 00:09:21.070
just the somalis they got caught right and it's

00:09:21.070 --> 00:09:24.129
medicaid fraud and it's uh you know it's the

00:09:24.129 --> 00:09:27.049
daycare fraud it's every welfare program you

00:09:27.049 --> 00:09:29.490
can think of right right i mean are we going

00:09:29.490 --> 00:09:32.500
to be as upset With the group of people on the

00:09:32.500 --> 00:09:34.059
next one, if it's a bunch of white Italians.

00:09:34.059 --> 00:09:37.379
We need to be, man. Come on. This is crazy. Yeah,

00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:39.240
no, no. I don't care. I don't care that they

00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.960
were Somalis. I don't care either. Fraud is fraud.

00:09:42.299 --> 00:09:44.620
What bothered me the most is that they had a

00:09:44.620 --> 00:09:48.620
big enough pull in their nefarious thing that

00:09:48.620 --> 00:09:53.600
they were doing to have elected officials look

00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:56.480
the other way. Oh, yeah. That right there is

00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:59.679
what just totally crawls all over me. They knew

00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:01.519
it was happening. Whistleblowers were telling

00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:03.200
them, and they were like, yeah, but we're going

00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:06.220
to lose the Somali vote, and it's 280 ,000 votes.

00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:08.460
And that's going to keep me from getting elected,

00:10:08.500 --> 00:10:11.139
so fuck it. I got to do what I got to do to stay

00:10:11.139 --> 00:10:12.919
in power. You know, it's not all Democrats, because

00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:16.299
you know who was involved in developing the Somali

00:10:16.299 --> 00:10:21.139
voter pact in Minnesota? I can't exactly know

00:10:21.139 --> 00:10:23.600
what it's called. It was, who's our majority

00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:26.659
whip in Congress? Is it Emmer? Is that his name?

00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:33.940
He was the co -sponsor with the Democrat Minnesota

00:10:33.940 --> 00:10:37.480
senator at the time, or congressman, to introduce

00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:41.879
the, back, I don't know, 10, 15, 20 years ago,

00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:44.860
the Somali, I can't exactly know what it is,

00:10:44.940 --> 00:10:48.899
but it's a specific thing with the Somalis that

00:10:48.899 --> 00:10:53.860
gave them power. Political power. And he was

00:10:53.860 --> 00:10:57.679
half of the creation. See, to me, in my mind,

00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:00.440
I kind of didn't, you know, we've always said

00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.299
that, you know, both parties are corrupt, right?

00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:06.860
We know that they, you know, they get kickbacks

00:11:06.860 --> 00:11:10.080
and they this and they that and nobody leaves

00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:12.000
Congress without being a millionaire, right?

00:11:12.100 --> 00:11:15.519
We know all that stuff. But I didn't think about

00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:19.379
segments of the population that are stealing

00:11:19.379 --> 00:11:23.740
our money and getting away with it because elected

00:11:23.740 --> 00:11:26.549
officials need their votes. That just makes me

00:11:26.549 --> 00:11:29.409
sick. Yeah. Emmer founded the Congressional Somalia

00:11:29.409 --> 00:11:31.769
Caucus with Keith Ellison. With Keith Ellison.

00:11:31.970 --> 00:11:34.809
Yeah. Yeah. And Keith Ellison's in the thick

00:11:34.809 --> 00:11:37.490
of this. He's the AG of Minnesota that's in charge

00:11:37.490 --> 00:11:40.049
of prosecuting all this shit. Unbelievable. Dude,

00:11:40.090 --> 00:11:42.230
this is, it's sickening. What year was this?

00:11:42.409 --> 00:11:45.250
2015 is when he created it. So 10 years ago.

00:11:45.250 --> 00:11:47.070
And now he's like, and he was saying that they're

00:11:47.070 --> 00:11:50.330
the most easily assimilated group. And now he's

00:11:50.330 --> 00:11:53.179
saying, let's get rid of them all. Oh, yeah.

00:11:53.220 --> 00:11:56.120
Where were you for the last 10 years? He was

00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.100
probably making some bank. Yeah, they all are.

00:11:58.139 --> 00:12:00.259
They're all making bank. All of these are politicians.

00:12:01.059 --> 00:12:04.679
So that's why I think, you know, all of politicians,

00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:07.820
the Democrats up there right now are getting

00:12:07.820 --> 00:12:09.759
the brunt of it, but the Republicans were, at

00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:12.179
least this guy, was involved as well. Did we

00:12:12.179 --> 00:12:14.919
talk about the ex -TSA agent that was watching

00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:16.700
the money go through? Yeah, we did. Through the

00:12:16.700 --> 00:12:20.360
airport? Yep. She said on her watch, easily a

00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:23.919
billion dollars in cash, in briefcases of just

00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:27.399
stacks and stacks, millions of dollars. And they

00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:29.259
stopped them, and they were like, what are you

00:12:29.259 --> 00:12:31.240
doing here? And they're like, well, this is legitimate.

00:12:31.820 --> 00:12:34.980
This is going to the motherland. Speaking of

00:12:34.980 --> 00:12:36.860
the motherland, you know she whistled on it.

00:12:36.899 --> 00:12:38.960
You know she blew the whistle. But you have Ilhan

00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:42.500
Omar, who's one of the ringleaders. She's probably

00:12:42.500 --> 00:12:44.200
not the ringleader, but she's one of them. She's

00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:49.379
making money. And she's saying publicly how she

00:12:49.379 --> 00:12:51.759
represents Somalia. Right. And how the people

00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:54.779
in Somalia says that's our Somalian princess.

00:12:55.100 --> 00:12:58.120
Right. So did you see that she came over here,

00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:00.580
she didn't have a job, so she became, I don't

00:13:00.580 --> 00:13:02.500
know what she did before the Congress, so she

00:13:02.500 --> 00:13:05.039
makes, what, $140 ,000? Right. She's been in

00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:06.940
there for, what, five, six, seven years? Right.

00:13:07.019 --> 00:13:10.580
She's worth $30 million now? Exactly. How the

00:13:10.580 --> 00:13:12.519
fuck does that happen? Dude, that's just the

00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:15.070
money you see. No, she married a... Her brother

00:13:15.070 --> 00:13:19.450
was rich when she married him. Well, okay. No,

00:13:19.570 --> 00:13:23.809
she married a hedge fund manager. And he is,

00:13:23.909 --> 00:13:26.889
you know... So is it his worth or is it her worth?

00:13:27.149 --> 00:13:31.169
I think it's their worth. And she has to report

00:13:31.169 --> 00:13:33.230
it. Okay, well, that makes sense if that's his.

00:13:33.309 --> 00:13:35.049
Because what I was seeing was they were showing

00:13:35.049 --> 00:13:37.370
half the side. Which, again, you have to be careful.

00:13:37.750 --> 00:13:40.820
You're reading these things that... these memes

00:13:40.820 --> 00:13:43.840
and stuff, and you're like, how does that happen?

00:13:43.980 --> 00:13:47.279
Well, she married into it. Oh, yeah. It could

00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:49.840
be legit. They left that part out. I mean, if

00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.659
she's getting kickbacks under the table in cash

00:13:52.659 --> 00:13:56.379
from the Somalian group, she's not going to report

00:13:56.379 --> 00:13:58.720
that. You're not going to see any of that money

00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.600
on her income sheet. That's going to show up

00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:04.879
in the form of vacations. Cars. It's going to

00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:08.220
show up in an offshore account that's got $180

00:14:08.220 --> 00:14:12.100
million in it. Bitcoin. I mean, come on. It's

00:14:12.100 --> 00:14:14.779
crazy. It just crawls all over me, man. It does.

00:14:15.220 --> 00:14:17.559
And then how'd that go with Waltz? Oh, he quit.

00:14:17.620 --> 00:14:19.700
Not quit, but he dropped out. Oh, he's such a

00:14:19.700 --> 00:14:21.539
putz. Yeah, he's a piece of shit. I think they're

00:14:21.539 --> 00:14:23.639
going to make him quit. He's got another year

00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:25.580
left, right? Well, he was like, over my dead

00:14:25.580 --> 00:14:27.860
body. Oh, yeah. He was talking all sorts of shit

00:14:27.860 --> 00:14:30.980
today, wasn't he? Elections this fall. So almost

00:14:30.980 --> 00:14:33.419
a year. I love the way they just love spinning

00:14:33.419 --> 00:14:35.980
this thing to turn it on Trump. And it's like,

00:14:36.059 --> 00:14:37.659
dude, come on, man. Why don't you just own it?

00:14:37.740 --> 00:14:41.179
He's an easy target. They don't ever turn it

00:14:41.179 --> 00:14:42.340
on themselves. I fucked up and there was all

00:14:42.340 --> 00:14:44.620
kinds of fraud. And you know what? I should have

00:14:44.620 --> 00:14:46.519
seen it coming. And maybe I saw it. I turned

00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:49.159
a blind eye to it because this donor A over here

00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:53.000
donated $15 million to my campaign while I was

00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:54.720
running for vice president. So I just decided

00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:56.519
to let it go. It's not that I wasn't going to

00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:58.559
investigate it. I just put it on the back burner

00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:00.429
until I had time to do it. I mean, when high

00:15:00.429 --> 00:15:03.570
-profile whistleblowers talk to, you know, whoever

00:15:03.570 --> 00:15:07.750
that gets to the AG, you know that his inside

00:15:07.750 --> 00:15:10.490
people have to tell him, listen, we're running

00:15:10.490 --> 00:15:12.929
a risk here. If this gets out, this is going

00:15:12.929 --> 00:15:14.750
to look really bad. What do you want to do? No,

00:15:14.929 --> 00:15:17.029
let's just roll with it. You know that that's

00:15:17.029 --> 00:15:19.049
what they're doing. What's the chance that this

00:15:19.049 --> 00:15:20.889
is going to get out? We'll just spit in this

00:15:20.889 --> 00:15:23.519
racism. Yeah, if it does, exactly. That's exactly

00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:25.399
what they did. What are they going to do with

00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:27.820
California? Are they going to call us being racist

00:15:27.820 --> 00:15:32.799
going after Gavin Newsom? They got to prove the

00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:36.539
fraud first. How much money went into that rail

00:15:36.539 --> 00:15:41.039
system? Tens of billions. They didn't lay a single

00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:44.919
track. Where's the money? I know some of that,

00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.700
almost all of that, has to do with the fact that

00:15:48.700 --> 00:15:50.720
they had these contractors. Was it you that was

00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:53.889
telling me this? Was that you? Maybe. They have

00:15:53.889 --> 00:15:56.429
these contractors that they wrote into the contract

00:15:56.429 --> 00:15:59.370
that they're going to get paid no matter what

00:15:59.370 --> 00:16:02.870
for the time that they have spent waiting for

00:16:02.870 --> 00:16:05.789
all these things to be approved. And that is

00:16:05.789 --> 00:16:07.389
what has happened. And the permitting. These

00:16:07.389 --> 00:16:10.509
contractors are getting paid. To sit on their

00:16:10.509 --> 00:16:13.929
ass. To sit on their ass in queue ready to work.

00:16:14.070 --> 00:16:17.149
And it's just something that it was just they

00:16:17.149 --> 00:16:19.450
were sitting there for free like the Somali kinder

00:16:19.450 --> 00:16:21.580
care people. Just making money. And then you

00:16:21.580 --> 00:16:23.820
know the people responsible for the permitting

00:16:23.820 --> 00:16:27.519
are like, yeah, I can speed this along if you...

00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:30.299
No, no, no, no. No, that's okay. We have some

00:16:30.299 --> 00:16:32.340
stuff to do to clear up before you come in here

00:16:32.340 --> 00:16:34.320
and inspect us to make sure that the permits

00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:36.659
are good. So slow that down a little bit. And

00:16:36.659 --> 00:16:39.740
just give me a little cut of it and we'll make

00:16:39.740 --> 00:16:41.779
sure everybody's happy. A cut of it? What are

00:16:41.779 --> 00:16:43.360
you talking about? Oh, I don't know what I'm

00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:46.559
saying. Oh, okay. Yeah, no, it's crazy. Well,

00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:51.320
plus the... They lost, what, $28 billion on the

00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:52.879
homeless over the last three years or something

00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:54.440
like that? And had nothing to show for it. Yes.

00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:57.039
No improvement in the situation. Where'd that

00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:58.340
money go? Where'd that money go? I mean, it just

00:16:58.340 --> 00:17:01.340
goes on and on. So, look. It's an endless crazy

00:17:01.340 --> 00:17:03.200
train. We've got to get a grip on it. Or the

00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:06.720
$2 million toilet. They have to expose it. I

00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:10.640
mean, they just have to, one at a time, just

00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:12.819
expose it. You know, and they have to course

00:17:12.819 --> 00:17:14.180
correct it. They're not going to be able to go

00:17:14.180 --> 00:17:18.420
back in time and fix everything that they fucked

00:17:18.420 --> 00:17:20.599
up. But they can make amends to it and say, hey,

00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:24.160
look, shame on me once. Yeah. You're not getting

00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:27.140
the money back. That's gone. But, gosh, how about

00:17:27.140 --> 00:17:31.720
the power of the one journalist? Nick Shirley.

00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:35.140
Yeah. Was he an independent? He's 23. Yeah. So

00:17:35.140 --> 00:17:37.259
he's a young whippersnapper. And you know what's

00:17:37.259 --> 00:17:43.259
kind of crazy is that. And I saw one of the folks

00:17:43.259 --> 00:17:47.400
on Facebook saying that this guy was not a reputable

00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:50.240
journalist and that he should be reprimanded

00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:53.079
for, not necessarily for his work done, but for

00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:55.059
people, when I say reprimanded, he should be

00:17:55.059 --> 00:17:56.720
questioned, you know, because he didn't have

00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:59.680
the correct tact to do it. And I'm like, dude,

00:17:59.740 --> 00:18:01.119
what the fuck are you talking about? These people,

00:18:01.220 --> 00:18:05.619
these guys on the social media are just crazy.

00:18:06.380 --> 00:18:09.000
He exposed some good shit. Yeah, they don't want

00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:11.839
to be showed up. But even before this, he's got

00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:15.200
a history of exposing stuff. You know, pickpocketers

00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:19.079
over in Europe. You know, he did a little routine

00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:21.740
where he was exposing a pickpocket, pickpocket,

00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:24.700
and then trying to pick out all these. What are

00:18:24.700 --> 00:18:26.700
they? Gypsies? Whatever the fuck they call them.

00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:28.660
But they're everywhere. It's not a matter of

00:18:28.660 --> 00:18:31.119
gypsies, races, black, white, whatever. It's

00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:33.920
a group of people that are just dark. And he's

00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:35.779
pointing out a problem. Yes, and he's pointing

00:18:35.779 --> 00:18:38.119
it out. People are getting mad. People are following

00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:40.240
him, chasing him, trying to hurt him. One of

00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:44.900
his bodyguards got damn near killed. I just find

00:18:44.900 --> 00:18:49.119
it amazing that his one video suddenly ripped.

00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:53.279
Rip the Band -Aid off on this whole thing. I

00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:56.019
mean, it was a slow news week and everybody's

00:18:56.019 --> 00:18:57.480
sitting at home and all of a sudden it starts

00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:00.420
showing up on your X -Feed. Yeah. And then everybody

00:19:00.420 --> 00:19:03.759
goes, whoa, check this out. But that scandal's

00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:05.680
been around for years. For years. And it's just

00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:07.339
been suppressed. But you know what was so...

00:19:07.339 --> 00:19:09.299
Nobody wants to report on the Learing Center.

00:19:09.539 --> 00:19:11.160
But you know what... The Learing Center. Right,

00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:12.779
right. Well, I was just about to say, that's

00:19:12.779 --> 00:19:15.599
what put the whole thing together. They couldn't...

00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:17.890
Learing? They couldn't fucking even spell the

00:19:17.890 --> 00:19:20.250
sign right. They misspelled Learing, but they've

00:19:20.250 --> 00:19:23.250
also misspelled the address on the sign. You

00:19:23.250 --> 00:19:26.230
know, the Nicholas Street. And then what? I don't

00:19:26.230 --> 00:19:27.829
think it was the same place, but another one,

00:19:27.849 --> 00:19:29.569
or maybe it was the same place, said that they

00:19:29.569 --> 00:19:31.910
were burglarized and somebody came in and stole

00:19:31.910 --> 00:19:34.269
all of their kids' records. Stole all the records

00:19:34.269 --> 00:19:36.109
and the documents. Turns out that the police

00:19:36.109 --> 00:19:40.029
came back and reported that they did break him.

00:19:41.609 --> 00:19:44.130
Supposedly. Reportedly they broke him, but there

00:19:44.130 --> 00:19:47.720
was nothing stolen. Oh, I read that the police

00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:49.980
said that there was no police report filed. There

00:19:49.980 --> 00:19:54.220
was no police report. In retrospect, they said

00:19:54.220 --> 00:19:55.980
they went after, when they said that someone

00:19:55.980 --> 00:19:57.779
had broken in, the police were notified at that

00:19:57.779 --> 00:19:59.700
time. And then they went out there and checked

00:19:59.700 --> 00:20:01.240
and they were like, what will they take? They're

00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:04.599
like, well, did they get in this tour? Right.

00:20:04.819 --> 00:20:07.420
Where was the stuff at? They said that they just

00:20:07.420 --> 00:20:10.160
said nothing was stolen. Right. So it was a farce.

00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:11.839
Well, the whole thing was a farce. I mean, who

00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:13.720
would want to break in and steal the records

00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:15.759
anyway? That's the MO, though, right? That's

00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:18.180
how they do it, right? The minute you uncover

00:20:18.180 --> 00:20:20.980
something and unearth something, they go. oh,

00:20:21.259 --> 00:20:25.900
it's racism, or oh, they're vandalizing the child

00:20:25.900 --> 00:20:28.420
care centers now, and they deflect, right? Oh,

00:20:28.420 --> 00:20:30.500
yeah. So you all of a sudden become the bad guy

00:20:30.500 --> 00:20:32.220
when you're trying to be the good guy and expose

00:20:32.220 --> 00:20:34.740
the stuff. They just throw you, you're immediately

00:20:34.740 --> 00:20:36.640
thrown under the bus. They're trying to, Nick

00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:38.380
Shirley, they're trying to make him out to be

00:20:38.380 --> 00:20:41.920
this stupid YouTuber. Yeah, rogue. It's laughable.

00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:44.180
It even says up there, who is Nick Shirley, the

00:20:44.180 --> 00:20:46.579
23 -year -old MAGA journalist? Yeah, MAGA journalist.

00:20:46.740 --> 00:20:49.049
Really? Yeah, they just throw him out. They'd

00:20:49.049 --> 00:20:50.950
throw the guy under the bus. Slap some labels

00:20:50.950 --> 00:20:53.029
on him and discredit him. Rather than celebrate

00:20:53.029 --> 00:20:54.890
the guy, maybe give him an award. Kind of like

00:20:54.890 --> 00:20:59.450
that young kid defending himself. Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:20:59.509 --> 00:21:02.369
Kyle Rittenhouse defending himself. Nick Sandman

00:21:02.369 --> 00:21:06.210
was a racist because he was making fun of the...

00:21:06.490 --> 00:21:09.190
The Native American. Oh, yeah. Banging the drum

00:21:09.190 --> 00:21:11.089
in his face. He wasn't making fun of him. He

00:21:11.089 --> 00:21:13.269
was just standing there. Right. But they slammed

00:21:13.269 --> 00:21:16.670
him. They did. They slandered him as that. He

00:21:16.670 --> 00:21:19.589
won a big loss. He did. He won a lot of money.

00:21:19.650 --> 00:21:21.670
$30 million. And he was going to keep going.

00:21:21.809 --> 00:21:23.829
I remember he won two big settlements, and then

00:21:23.829 --> 00:21:25.869
he said, we're just getting started. But I never

00:21:25.869 --> 00:21:27.369
heard anything after that. Yeah. I don't know.

00:21:27.450 --> 00:21:30.190
I wonder if he kept going. I don't know. He probably

00:21:30.190 --> 00:21:32.349
just let it go. I mean, at a certain point, just

00:21:32.349 --> 00:21:35.000
kind of like, all right, I've won. Right. I made

00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:37.700
my point. Or the other one is just finally like,

00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:39.039
all right, we'll just pay you before it gets

00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:41.500
any bigger. Yeah, we don't want discovery on

00:21:41.500 --> 00:21:44.059
this. You know what I found interesting? I was

00:21:44.059 --> 00:21:47.880
watching Fox News while I'm driving today. That's

00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:52.480
a healthy thing to do. During the break of Fox

00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:57.380
News, they had some fun advertisements. Like

00:21:57.380 --> 00:22:00.660
dudes like us? They were talking about some sitcoms,

00:22:00.660 --> 00:22:04.619
some comedians. And whatever. It was fun. Regular

00:22:04.619 --> 00:22:06.619
programming. Nice commercials. Stuff that we

00:22:06.619 --> 00:22:08.440
actually like listening to. You know, commercials.

00:22:08.619 --> 00:22:09.940
Regardless of what the hell they're at. They're

00:22:09.940 --> 00:22:11.759
not like, hey, buy your soap here. Hey, buy the

00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:14.059
cigarettes. How about that pillow? I got stuff

00:22:14.059 --> 00:22:18.720
going. My pillow. My point is, Fox News was doing

00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:23.500
advertisements for like CBS and ABC. I thought

00:22:23.500 --> 00:22:25.980
that was kind of strange. That is strange. That's

00:22:25.980 --> 00:22:30.630
like a competitor. But is it? Is it? Is it? That's

00:22:30.630 --> 00:22:34.190
where I'm going to. That's where I'm going to.

00:22:34.789 --> 00:22:37.569
I'm just kind of like, you know, we always joke

00:22:37.569 --> 00:22:41.930
around. Even on the podcast. What's his name?

00:22:41.990 --> 00:22:47.269
Joe Rogan. Oh, that Rogan guy. He's small beans.

00:22:47.670 --> 00:22:52.049
Something like that. There was a guest on his

00:22:52.049 --> 00:22:55.849
show and they brought up the concept of you have

00:22:55.849 --> 00:22:58.549
every... journalists, or not journalists, but

00:22:58.549 --> 00:23:00.569
the reporters, the anchors in the news stations,

00:23:00.670 --> 00:23:04.109
that all are saying the same exact thing. They're

00:23:04.109 --> 00:23:05.670
reciting something. Yeah, they get the script.

00:23:05.970 --> 00:23:08.170
Yeah, so it's like, and you play all hundred

00:23:08.170 --> 00:23:10.009
of them at the same time, and it's all the same

00:23:10.009 --> 00:23:12.589
thing. This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

00:23:12.930 --> 00:23:15.170
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

00:23:15.450 --> 00:23:17.509
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

00:23:17.789 --> 00:23:19.829
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

00:23:20.089 --> 00:23:22.630
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

00:23:22.890 --> 00:23:25.049
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

00:23:25.869 --> 00:23:28.210
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

00:23:28.470 --> 00:23:30.769
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

00:23:30.829 --> 00:23:34.730
I mean, bringing this up, it's just this unison.

00:23:34.869 --> 00:23:38.509
Somebody owns everything. And it's just like,

00:23:38.549 --> 00:23:40.829
why would Fox News do that? I don't know if they

00:23:40.829 --> 00:23:44.029
own everything. I think when that happens, I

00:23:44.029 --> 00:23:49.470
think there is a democratic leadership. Kind

00:23:49.470 --> 00:23:51.890
of a thing that sends out the memos. Yeah, the

00:23:51.890 --> 00:23:54.289
talking points. But the same thing happens on

00:23:54.289 --> 00:23:56.750
the Republican side. I mean, both parties send

00:23:56.750 --> 00:23:59.430
out talking points. It's just not as big. They

00:23:59.430 --> 00:24:00.769
used to have this thing called the journalist.

00:24:01.490 --> 00:24:03.829
And it would be the talking points that they

00:24:03.829 --> 00:24:06.230
would send out to all the journalists about what

00:24:06.230 --> 00:24:08.789
the story of the day was and what you have to

00:24:08.789 --> 00:24:10.750
talk about, how you have to refute what's going

00:24:10.750 --> 00:24:12.690
on. The points you need to hit. The key words

00:24:12.690 --> 00:24:15.609
that you need to hit. So did you hear about the

00:24:15.609 --> 00:24:19.369
National Public Radio? They disbanded. That's

00:24:19.369 --> 00:24:22.329
right. And PR was like the parent company. No,

00:24:22.450 --> 00:24:24.549
the Center for Public Broadcasting. Yeah, but

00:24:24.549 --> 00:24:26.509
that's the parent company of those other two

00:24:26.509 --> 00:24:28.569
things, right? They're the ones that disperse

00:24:28.569 --> 00:24:32.150
the money to PBS and whatever. And so the big,

00:24:32.150 --> 00:24:35.529
beautiful bill took out the funding for them

00:24:35.529 --> 00:24:37.670
because it was so left -leaning, it was disgusting.

00:24:37.950 --> 00:24:40.109
Correct. And so they were like, instead of trying

00:24:40.109 --> 00:24:42.950
to claw money from wherever we can, we decided

00:24:42.950 --> 00:24:47.210
the best thing to do was just shut down. and

00:24:47.210 --> 00:24:50.490
hope that the next Congress, which they're hoping

00:24:50.490 --> 00:24:54.769
is Democrat, are going to bring them back and

00:24:54.769 --> 00:24:56.789
give them more funding. So does that mean PBS

00:24:56.789 --> 00:24:59.769
is going off the air sometime soon, potentially?

00:24:59.769 --> 00:25:02.630
Not necessarily. I don't know. The Center for

00:25:02.630 --> 00:25:05.109
Public Broadcasting has a pool of money, but

00:25:05.109 --> 00:25:07.849
there's also private donations and whatnot that

00:25:07.849 --> 00:25:11.049
PBS uses, right? Yeah. What's the percentage

00:25:11.049 --> 00:25:13.329
of funding coming from the government? I think

00:25:13.329 --> 00:25:14.730
I heard something that was actually pretty small.

00:25:15.509 --> 00:25:19.329
Oh, at PBS? Yeah, well, yes, public radio, NPR,

00:25:19.369 --> 00:25:21.670
all that stuff. I think the government portion

00:25:21.670 --> 00:25:23.269
of that. Well, then why would they be shutting

00:25:23.269 --> 00:25:26.089
down? Not the PBS. At least the parent company.

00:25:26.309 --> 00:25:29.650
The Center for Public Broadcasting is shut down,

00:25:29.750 --> 00:25:33.430
not PBS. So they provide roughly 15 % of PBS

00:25:33.430 --> 00:25:36.789
total revenue. So the other 85 is coming from

00:25:36.789 --> 00:25:41.650
private donations. Right, interesting. So they

00:25:41.650 --> 00:25:44.960
can still do it. Cut some costs. So we can still

00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:48.859
watch I'm Just a Bill on Capitol Hill. That wasn't

00:25:48.859 --> 00:25:50.519
on PBS, man. That was Schoolhouse Rock. Yeah,

00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:59.039
that was Schoolhouse Rock. Oh, how about... Conjunction,

00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:03.460
junction, what's your function? Hooking up words

00:26:03.460 --> 00:26:08.500
and phrases and clauses. How about... 1, 2, 3,

00:26:08.500 --> 00:26:14.240
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Electric Company

00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:20.059
was great. Five. Five. That's the number they

00:26:20.059 --> 00:26:21.440
featured that day. That was the number, yeah.

00:26:21.460 --> 00:26:25.720
Five. And then everything was five cookies. Or

00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:29.660
H. Horror. Horror. Kind of those type of things.

00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:32.019
Whoa. I thought that was W. Oh, with the two

00:26:32.019 --> 00:26:37.170
faces? Yes. It. Shit. That was Electric Company.

00:26:37.430 --> 00:26:40.049
Oh, it was. You know, the black guy on that show

00:26:40.049 --> 00:26:42.910
was Data from Star Trek. No. He was on Reading

00:26:42.910 --> 00:26:45.829
Rainbow. It was Morgan Freeman. Well, Morgan

00:26:45.829 --> 00:26:50.630
Freeman also was on there. I love Jeff. No. I'm

00:26:50.630 --> 00:26:53.829
so disgusted. Your fact check approach is very

00:26:53.829 --> 00:26:58.150
abrasive. No. No bedside manner. It even enveloped

00:26:58.150 --> 00:27:00.230
the body language. He almost fell out of the

00:27:00.230 --> 00:27:02.430
goddamn chair. All the things that were unsaid,

00:27:02.529 --> 00:27:08.849
you're a fucking moron. Actually, the electric

00:27:08.849 --> 00:27:13.119
company, there was another show. Reading Rainbow.

00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:14.940
Was that what it was? That was Reading Rainbow.

00:27:14.980 --> 00:27:17.359
But that was not data, but that was... Geordie

00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:20.740
LaForge. What the fuck is wrong? Are you looking

00:27:20.740 --> 00:27:24.160
up this shit? Is it on a chip inside of his head

00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:26.519
or something? Does not compute. Does not compute.

00:27:26.700 --> 00:27:29.680
He needs to have the data thing around his eyes,

00:27:29.740 --> 00:27:33.519
I think. Crazy. That was Geordie LaForge. All

00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:35.480
right, good. Yes, I'm glad we know who that is

00:27:35.480 --> 00:27:38.740
now. Okay. Anyway, shit, we were talking about,

00:27:38.779 --> 00:27:40.980
yes, the National Public Radio. Okay, so they're

00:27:40.980 --> 00:27:43.240
not going anywhere. So they can still talk about

00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:46.200
sweaty balls? Well, I mean, but the thing is,

00:27:46.220 --> 00:27:49.400
is that they may not, they, who's funding them?

00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:52.299
85 % is from private funding, but is that private

00:27:52.299 --> 00:27:54.680
funding still to go now that we've cut the USAID

00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:56.920
and Doge has come in and sliced and cut all that

00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:00.279
shit? Well, that's, I mean, USAID is one more

00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:02.259
telethon. Yeah, just one more telethon. Well,

00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:05.220
no, USAID is government money, not private money.

00:28:05.220 --> 00:28:10.200
NGOs, non -government organizations. No, but

00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:12.819
they get their funding from USAID, right? That's

00:28:12.819 --> 00:28:14.779
what I'm saying is that you've got all these

00:28:14.779 --> 00:28:19.000
nondescript. So you're saying that the private

00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:21.700
donations were somehow funneling through all

00:28:21.700 --> 00:28:23.960
these things to PBS. Yes, they're being cycled

00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:26.660
through there. Of course. I mean, look, you've

00:28:26.660 --> 00:28:28.819
got to run this campaign somehow, and they've

00:28:28.819 --> 00:28:31.230
got to get their money from somewhere. And you

00:28:31.230 --> 00:28:33.490
really think that these private Democrats out

00:28:33.490 --> 00:28:35.849
there are funding NPR? Who the fuck listens to

00:28:35.849 --> 00:28:38.930
NPR? Democrats. Who listens to it, though? Where?

00:28:39.130 --> 00:28:42.450
What do they listen to it on? The radio. Like

00:28:42.450 --> 00:28:44.130
the AM station? Yes. So they go in their car.

00:28:44.230 --> 00:28:45.930
Hold on a second. I don't have an AM radio. I

00:28:45.930 --> 00:28:48.490
mean, is it on the radio? Can I go to a website

00:28:48.490 --> 00:28:52.630
and listen to it? Yes, you can. Is it in stereo

00:28:52.630 --> 00:28:57.109
now? I have no idea. When you're on the internet,

00:28:57.329 --> 00:29:01.410
is it still mono? I don't know. But I know Dana

00:29:01.410 --> 00:29:04.750
Perino listens to it every day, she said. I mean,

00:29:04.769 --> 00:29:07.069
there's nothing wrong with... I mean, I've been

00:29:07.069 --> 00:29:08.809
on road trips where we listen to NPR because

00:29:08.809 --> 00:29:10.509
that's all we could get. And we listen to the

00:29:10.509 --> 00:29:16.509
news briefs. And they weren't like disgustingly

00:29:16.509 --> 00:29:18.410
left or anything like that. I'm sure the shows

00:29:18.410 --> 00:29:21.190
were, I'm assuming. I don't know. I never really

00:29:21.190 --> 00:29:23.950
watched it that much. So I don't know. They am

00:29:23.950 --> 00:29:26.049
radio station. I hope they don't get rid of that

00:29:26.049 --> 00:29:29.779
stuff. But it's all... But my point about bringing

00:29:29.779 --> 00:29:35.099
up the Fox and the CBS is there seems to be an

00:29:35.099 --> 00:29:39.519
effort to merge and combine efforts. And there

00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:42.819
is. There's a global effort on controlling everything

00:29:42.819 --> 00:29:44.920
we're listening to. But remember, the AM, I think

00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:47.019
you were about to say this, Jeff, AM radio is

00:29:47.019 --> 00:29:50.460
a conservative bastion of talk radio. The car

00:29:50.460 --> 00:29:53.079
industry, I don't know if they're being pressured,

00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:56.819
but they were going to phase. AM radio out. Ford

00:29:56.819 --> 00:29:59.299
was, and they got a massive backlash. I think

00:29:59.299 --> 00:30:01.240
it was more than just Ford. And they were like,

00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:03.259
all right, no, no, no, we'll keep AM radio. Sorry,

00:30:03.420 --> 00:30:07.339
sorry. But then remember, Soros bought a bunch

00:30:07.339 --> 00:30:11.019
of radio stations, and they're shutting them

00:30:11.019 --> 00:30:14.319
down so that they don't broadcast AM conservative

00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:17.059
radio like Rush Limbaugh type shows, right? Right,

00:30:17.059 --> 00:30:20.420
yeah. I mean, I don't know. And we just let that

00:30:20.420 --> 00:30:22.880
shit happen. Well, because we don't pay attention

00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:24.660
to it. We're ignorant of it. We don't really

00:30:24.660 --> 00:30:26.579
understand how that stuff works. We're just kind

00:30:26.579 --> 00:30:28.299
of like, you know, it's like sitting in there

00:30:28.299 --> 00:30:29.660
hoping something's going to work. We're like,

00:30:29.740 --> 00:30:31.180
oh, it's not working anymore. Well, why not?

00:30:31.420 --> 00:30:32.940
Well, we told you we were going to get rid of

00:30:32.940 --> 00:30:34.460
it. I don't really remember that. What happened

00:30:34.460 --> 00:30:36.700
to all the conservative radio shows? It was on

00:30:36.700 --> 00:30:38.960
the 25th page of the New York Times. You didn't

00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:40.819
see that? The very bottom small print that we're

00:30:40.819 --> 00:30:42.539
getting rid of this? It's kind of like signing

00:30:42.539 --> 00:30:45.759
up for some of these votes. And, you know, people

00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:49.109
just need to wise up. And I recommend our listeners

00:30:49.109 --> 00:30:51.730
out there, we've got an upcoming vote for you

00:30:51.730 --> 00:30:55.390
guys to take here in Frisco, Texas. Yeah. Also,

00:30:55.549 --> 00:30:58.250
we did mention, if we didn't mention, if you're

00:30:58.250 --> 00:31:01.549
going to listen to the, we're going to the Rebel

00:31:01.549 --> 00:31:03.869
this Friday, this Saturday. We're going to watch

00:31:03.869 --> 00:31:07.849
Bob Seger in Boston. It's Bob Seger? Did I say

00:31:07.849 --> 00:31:10.430
that right? Yes. Oh, nice. I didn't know. You

00:31:10.430 --> 00:31:12.230
said Boston. I didn't hear the other half of

00:31:12.230 --> 00:31:15.230
it. Bob Seger in Boston. Yeah, but they Bob Seger

00:31:15.230 --> 00:31:21.569
fan. And it actually. Bob Feger fan. Bob Feger

00:31:21.569 --> 00:31:24.490
fan. Well, that's going to be us at the end of

00:31:24.490 --> 00:31:26.269
the day, end of the night at the Rebel because

00:31:26.269 --> 00:31:28.069
we always get roofied, right? Yeah, we're never.

00:31:28.170 --> 00:31:31.029
I am not driving. Sean gets roofied every time

00:31:31.029 --> 00:31:33.750
I go there. Yeah, we're like we pregame because

00:31:33.750 --> 00:31:36.210
we're not going to drink there. I think we're

00:31:36.210 --> 00:31:39.490
getting better. We are getting better, but I'm

00:31:39.490 --> 00:31:43.539
still smuggling in the case. Yeah. A case. I

00:31:43.539 --> 00:31:46.240
got a 10 -pack of whatever comes in a bag. And

00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:48.059
look, those little Jack Daniels are fantastic.

00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:53.059
You know what's crazy? On the Instagram page,

00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:57.779
you and I are at the rail yard, and we were watching

00:31:57.779 --> 00:31:59.960
a band. And you and I, we take a selfie of each

00:31:59.960 --> 00:32:02.900
other, and we have a Jack Daniels mini. I know.

00:32:03.299 --> 00:32:07.359
And a police officer makes a little comment.

00:32:07.819 --> 00:32:11.619
He goes, oh, nice. Nice. Did he really? Yep.

00:32:13.679 --> 00:32:16.799
Huh. So now they're tracking you guys. That's

00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:19.859
great. You know, whatever, whatever. But it was

00:32:19.859 --> 00:32:22.000
just kind of funny. Here we are in a, you know,

00:32:22.019 --> 00:32:24.200
Texas. Flaunting that you're sneaking shit in.

00:32:25.539 --> 00:32:29.119
Flaunting. Flaunting. Yes. It was empty. It was

00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:31.759
actually tea inside the Jack Daniels glasses.

00:32:32.059 --> 00:32:33.019
There wasn't actually Jack Daniels. When you

00:32:33.019 --> 00:32:35.339
found it on the ground anyway. Yeah, we picked

00:32:35.339 --> 00:32:36.660
it up. It wasn't even yours. We were just throwing

00:32:36.660 --> 00:32:39.319
it away. Yeah, that's right. We were anti -littering.

00:32:39.339 --> 00:32:41.700
We took a picture of it before we trashed it.

00:32:42.490 --> 00:32:45.769
There you go. Responsibly. Well, hopefully, yeah.

00:32:46.170 --> 00:32:49.190
So the Boston Tribute Dallas Boston Experience

00:32:49.190 --> 00:32:51.750
and Bob Seger Tribute Seger System is kind of

00:32:51.750 --> 00:32:55.549
interesting. Oh, look at that. From $23 .43 all

00:32:55.549 --> 00:32:59.630
the way up to the $39 where I have our tickets

00:32:59.630 --> 00:33:02.089
at. I don't know why they were that much. I don't

00:33:02.089 --> 00:33:06.730
know. So see the purple on the left, on the right

00:33:06.730 --> 00:33:09.049
side, the purple there. Yeah, we're the front

00:33:09.049 --> 00:33:11.549
purple on the little six pack on the top right.

00:33:11.930 --> 00:33:13.690
Of the purple section. I see that. Is that the

00:33:13.690 --> 00:33:16.210
non -flammable section? Well, actually, they're

00:33:16.210 --> 00:33:18.369
not purple there. They're not flammable. We're

00:33:18.369 --> 00:33:20.650
right underneath that speaker. Right underneath

00:33:20.650 --> 00:33:23.430
the non -flammable speakers. Okay. Good. Good.

00:33:23.589 --> 00:33:25.470
So our listeners out there that don't know what

00:33:25.470 --> 00:33:27.369
we're talking about, we went to the Revel in

00:33:27.369 --> 00:33:30.869
Frisco and was watching Metallica. And what was

00:33:30.869 --> 00:33:33.369
it before that? ACDC, right? No, we watched Metallica,

00:33:33.369 --> 00:33:36.490
and then ACDC was the second band. Yeah. So Hell's

00:33:36.490 --> 00:33:41.650
Bells started coming out. Started coming on.

00:33:41.670 --> 00:33:42.890
All of a sudden, we kind of look up there. Oh,

00:33:42.890 --> 00:33:44.309
look at that speaker. It's got some nice lights

00:33:44.309 --> 00:33:47.670
going on. And then all of a sudden, it was a

00:33:47.670 --> 00:33:50.029
little bit brighter. We're like, wait a minute.

00:33:51.049 --> 00:33:53.049
That speaker's on fire. Why is that glowing?

00:33:53.170 --> 00:33:54.869
Even the lead singer looked up and was like,

00:33:55.089 --> 00:33:57.349
oh, shit. That speaker's on fire. We're out.

00:33:57.569 --> 00:33:59.869
Yep, we're done. And then this guy scrambles

00:33:59.869 --> 00:34:04.710
out with a fire -retardant fire extinguisher.

00:34:04.829 --> 00:34:06.670
It's called a fire extinguisher. Yeah. Anyway,

00:34:06.750 --> 00:34:10.099
he sprays it, and it was an ender. It was. That

00:34:10.099 --> 00:34:14.880
shit was everywhere. Yeah. It was. We kept drinking,

00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:18.079
though. Yeah, we went out. Yes. We went to the

00:34:18.079 --> 00:34:20.300
back. We went to the back, and we're like, it's

00:34:20.300 --> 00:34:22.679
better than getting great whited, you know? Oh,

00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:24.860
shit. Oh, wow. No, I was seriously worried about

00:34:24.860 --> 00:34:26.840
it. I was looking at the speaker, and I was seeing

00:34:26.840 --> 00:34:28.519
it licking this, you know, close to the ceiling,

00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:30.500
and I told them. They couldn't hear me, but I

00:34:30.500 --> 00:34:32.440
was like, guys, get ready to move. And you guys

00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:34.199
were like, what? No, we went to the kitchen and

00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:35.920
told them. Yeah, I ran into the kitchen and told

00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:38.880
them to call 911. Call 911, get the... Yeah,

00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:42.000
yeah. Because you scrambled away. Yeah, that's

00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:44.760
right. Well, dude. Yeah, no. You're probably

00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:47.860
drunk. You went back and went... Yeah, I probably,

00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:50.960
in my mind, I was like, oh, coherent. And I went

00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:57.179
back there and I was like... What's that, Timmy?

00:34:57.199 --> 00:34:58.019
The speaker's on fire? And they're like, oh,

00:34:58.019 --> 00:35:01.960
my God, this guy's retarded. Well, it took a

00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:03.860
little convincing. They were like, what's going

00:35:03.860 --> 00:35:06.519
on? I was like, there's a fire on the stage.

00:35:07.260 --> 00:35:09.659
You need to call the fire department. Yeah. And

00:35:09.659 --> 00:35:11.000
they were just like, oh, what's going on? And

00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:13.059
then they poked out there and said, oh, my God,

00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:14.539
you're right. And they ran to the back and they

00:35:14.539 --> 00:35:17.619
did it. And the shit show was like none of the

00:35:17.619 --> 00:35:19.599
bills had been paid. Everybody just left. Oh,

00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:21.920
yeah. They were handing out. Oh, yeah. They got

00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:24.539
paid. I paid for it. Yeah, but they were handing

00:35:24.539 --> 00:35:27.300
out like the free tickets to go to the next show.

00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:29.659
I still have mine, by the way. Did we ever use

00:35:29.659 --> 00:35:30.800
those? I wonder if we could use them at this

00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:33.260
show. I wonder. It's been like two years. They

00:35:33.260 --> 00:35:37.090
applied it to your account. No. They applied

00:35:37.090 --> 00:35:39.789
it to my account. No, no. These were passes to

00:35:39.789 --> 00:35:42.230
get into a future show for free. But they give

00:35:42.230 --> 00:35:44.909
you a tangible ticket. Yes. Yeah. I didn't get

00:35:44.909 --> 00:35:47.570
one. Yeah, I got some. I got like 40 of them.

00:35:47.690 --> 00:35:51.210
Oh. There was like a giant stack of them on my

00:35:51.210 --> 00:35:53.030
desk. Did you tell them that we were... Oh, I've

00:35:53.030 --> 00:35:55.070
been going every weekend. You guys haven't been...

00:35:55.070 --> 00:35:57.369
I don't understand. You're going to the karaoke

00:35:57.369 --> 00:35:59.869
show with Shoji Shinoda? I'm going to everything.

00:36:00.349 --> 00:36:04.809
Shoji Shinoda! Wow. Hey, he's a fantastic karaoke

00:36:04.809 --> 00:36:06.969
host, man. That's good. He used to work for you,

00:36:07.030 --> 00:36:09.210
apparently, right? I worked for him for a while.

00:36:09.670 --> 00:36:12.110
Excellent singer, too. The guy sings excellent

00:36:12.110 --> 00:36:14.730
90s rock. He's got an excellent voice. So things

00:36:14.730 --> 00:36:17.510
that they have in the future is a bunch of watch

00:36:17.510 --> 00:36:20.070
parties, a bunch of NFL watch parties. Let's

00:36:20.070 --> 00:36:23.269
talk about it. The playoffs are on. So the playoffs

00:36:23.269 --> 00:36:25.849
are set. And by the way, did you guys by chance

00:36:25.849 --> 00:36:30.019
watch the Steelers? And Carolina game. No, Ravens.

00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:32.840
Ravens. Ravens, yes. Steelers and Ravens. Did

00:36:32.840 --> 00:36:34.659
you watch the game? Is that the one where some

00:36:34.659 --> 00:36:39.119
priest or something blessed the field before

00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:41.300
the game? And the guy missed the field goal anyways?

00:36:41.659 --> 00:36:44.699
What a loser. So I didn't see that part. I just

00:36:44.699 --> 00:36:46.960
watched the last, like, two minutes. And it was

00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:49.699
this epic, you know, Steelers were trailing.

00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:52.739
Aaron Rodgers had to go down and score. It was

00:36:52.739 --> 00:36:55.219
like a scramble. He had to take two timeouts

00:36:55.219 --> 00:36:56.940
because his headset wasn't working on his helmet.

00:36:57.099 --> 00:36:58.780
And they're getting all super frustrated. They

00:36:58.780 --> 00:37:02.219
score the touchdown. The Steelers go crazy. Lamar

00:37:02.219 --> 00:37:05.300
Jackson, three plays later, gets in the end zone

00:37:05.300 --> 00:37:08.260
and scores a touchdown. And then it was crazy.

00:37:08.380 --> 00:37:10.039
It was crazy. And then it went back, Steelers.

00:37:10.139 --> 00:37:11.860
Well, the Steelers missed the extra point. And

00:37:11.860 --> 00:37:12.860
they missed the extra point. Missed the extra

00:37:12.860 --> 00:37:15.400
point. And then the Ravens. It was actually blocked.

00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:18.000
But yeah. Yeah. Then all the Ravens need to do

00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:20.239
is kick a field goal to win it. and they go down

00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:22.179
to the 20 -yard line of the Steelers and miss

00:37:22.179 --> 00:37:24.000
the field goal to end the game. Yep, shanked

00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:26.940
it. I mean, it was crazy. It was like 11 o 'clock

00:37:26.940 --> 00:37:30.659
at night, and I was in bed playing it on my phone,

00:37:30.739 --> 00:37:32.360
and Shelly was trying to sleep, but she wanted

00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:36.119
to see the end of the game. It was crazy. And

00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:37.980
remember, whoever wins that game goes to the

00:37:37.980 --> 00:37:40.059
playoffs. Whoever doesn't goes home. Goes home,

00:37:40.059 --> 00:37:41.679
yeah. And they fired the coach. And they fired

00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:44.440
the coach. It was crazy. They fired the Pittsburgh

00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:46.519
Steelers coach? No, the Ravens coach. No, because

00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:49.380
they got in. Jim Harbaugh. They got in. Justin

00:37:49.380 --> 00:37:51.599
Tucker was a kicker for the Ravens for forever.

00:37:51.820 --> 00:37:56.079
Yeah. And then he got in that Rub and Tug scandal,

00:37:56.340 --> 00:37:58.840
right? Yes. And they let him go. And they brought

00:37:58.840 --> 00:38:00.880
in this rookie. And the rookie is the one that

00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:02.960
shanked him. I know it. And now they're not in

00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:06.159
the playoffs. And their coach got fired. Hold

00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:08.900
on. What's wrong with the Rub and Tug? Well,

00:38:09.500 --> 00:38:11.739
apparently they don't like it. You know, it was

00:38:11.739 --> 00:38:15.219
pretty low key. I say low -key because I didn't

00:38:15.219 --> 00:38:17.219
even hear about it. But Tucker is one of the

00:38:17.219 --> 00:38:20.079
most accurate kickers in NFL history. And they

00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:22.900
had to can him because he... Even more than Aubrey?

00:38:23.159 --> 00:38:26.739
It was some... Yeah. In history. Because it was

00:38:26.739 --> 00:38:30.019
some pedophilia? I don't know. That's a little

00:38:30.019 --> 00:38:32.300
bit different. What happened? I don't know what

00:38:32.300 --> 00:38:35.260
happened. She was 17 and a half? No, really.

00:38:35.380 --> 00:38:37.539
What happened? I don't know. I don't even know

00:38:37.539 --> 00:38:40.719
the details on why Tucker got booted. But it

00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:45.250
was some questionable... Moment. I don't know.

00:38:45.309 --> 00:38:47.909
We'll have to see what it was here. He's from

00:38:47.909 --> 00:38:50.690
the Texas Longhorns as well, I believe. All right,

00:38:50.690 --> 00:38:53.210
here we go. Characterizing the decision as a

00:38:53.210 --> 00:38:55.250
football decision following the offseason of

00:38:55.250 --> 00:38:58.510
mounting sexual misconduct allegations and a

00:38:58.510 --> 00:39:01.150
career -low performance in the 2024 season. But,

00:39:01.150 --> 00:39:02.789
yeah, but what was the misconduct? He was doing

00:39:02.789 --> 00:39:08.940
a Deshaun Watson. 16 massage therapists accused

00:39:08.940 --> 00:39:12.019
him of inappropriate sex. So it wasn't pedophilia.

00:39:12.019 --> 00:39:16.980
So that's better. I mean, not as bad. So, yeah,

00:39:17.019 --> 00:39:20.099
he was frequenting massage therapy. Is he playing

00:39:20.099 --> 00:39:23.920
for anyone else or did he call it a day? He's

00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:26.579
a free agent. Well, didn't the owner craft? Didn't

00:39:26.579 --> 00:39:29.420
he get caught going to massage parlors? Did he

00:39:29.420 --> 00:39:32.840
get? No, they kind of reprimanded him a little

00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:35.639
bit. They kind of like went away. That's weird.

00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:37.619
Deshaun Watson, he got suspended for a whole

00:39:37.619 --> 00:39:40.260
year. Right. And then he came back and made a

00:39:40.260 --> 00:39:41.599
shit ton of money. That's so stupid. And he got

00:39:41.599 --> 00:39:45.159
injured. And he's. He's injured. Worthless. Yeah,

00:39:45.219 --> 00:39:47.239
he got traded and then injured. And then. He's

00:39:47.239 --> 00:39:48.659
actually worth $260 ,000. And now we have shitters.

00:39:48.739 --> 00:39:51.800
Well, I mean, he's worthless to the Browns. Correct.

00:39:52.019 --> 00:39:55.659
Hey, you know, I'd like to take a second and

00:39:55.659 --> 00:39:58.539
chat about the major news topics in Frisco, Texas.

00:39:59.079 --> 00:40:02.780
Oh. I'm just going to spout out four of these

00:40:02.780 --> 00:40:06.039
little events, and we'll just kind of see where

00:40:06.039 --> 00:40:07.860
they go. Local news. Let's see. Public safety

00:40:07.860 --> 00:40:10.599
and community. Pursuit prevention technology.

00:40:11.019 --> 00:40:15.340
Frisco police have recently implemented the grappler

00:40:15.340 --> 00:40:18.239
tool. Oh, yes. A front -mounted device used to

00:40:18.239 --> 00:40:22.340
safely stop fleeing vehicles. Grappler. The grappler.

00:40:22.380 --> 00:40:24.440
It shoots out and grabs the tire. Are you serious?

00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:27.159
Oh, yeah. The next one, the recent standoff in

00:40:27.159 --> 00:40:29.440
arrest of a 42 -year -old suspect was arrested

00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:31.420
on New Year's Eve after a stolen vehicle chase

00:40:31.420 --> 00:40:33.360
led to a multi -hour SWAT team. Is that what

00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:36.059
you were talking about? The freaking helicopter

00:40:36.059 --> 00:40:38.900
was circling and bothering the shit out of me

00:40:38.900 --> 00:40:40.519
while I was trying to work from home. This one

00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:44.380
really bothered me. The homestead exemption increase.

00:40:44.500 --> 00:40:49.179
Homeowners begin seeing a 20 % homestead exemption

00:40:49.179 --> 00:40:51.960
increase from 15 % on their city property tax

00:40:51.960 --> 00:40:54.369
bill starting this month. That's good, though.

00:40:54.489 --> 00:40:56.550
That's a good thing. Oh, I read that wrong. Yeah,

00:40:56.590 --> 00:40:58.730
that is a good thing. Yeah. Why is it grinding

00:40:58.730 --> 00:41:02.369
your gears? I thought it was the other one. That's

00:41:02.369 --> 00:41:05.869
bullshit. I love that. I'm going back. And then

00:41:05.869 --> 00:41:08.070
finally, the prescribed burn. So the Frisco Fire

00:41:08.070 --> 00:41:10.349
Department and the wildland firefighting team

00:41:10.349 --> 00:41:13.090
is scheduled to conduct controlled burns at two

00:41:13.090 --> 00:41:17.230
city parks in early 2026 to promote prairie restoration.

00:41:17.510 --> 00:41:20.570
I'm kind of involved in that tangentially, right?

00:41:20.630 --> 00:41:22.780
You going to light it? No, but we'll probably

00:41:22.780 --> 00:41:24.760
go plant afterwards or something like that. We'll

00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:26.519
probably go back to that park once it's burned.

00:41:26.739 --> 00:41:29.539
What parks are they doing it to? Doesn't say.

00:41:29.940 --> 00:41:31.719
Doesn't say. And you'll what, test? I mean, what

00:41:31.719 --> 00:41:33.079
are you going to do? Because you're part of this

00:41:33.079 --> 00:41:38.059
wildlife thing. Yeah. So what they'll probably

00:41:38.059 --> 00:41:40.760
do is go back and plant afterwards because it'll

00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:44.039
be, you know, all the non -native grasses will

00:41:44.039 --> 00:41:45.699
be gone and then you can go back and... plant

00:41:45.699 --> 00:41:48.300
seed balls and get nice flowers and grasses and

00:41:48.300 --> 00:41:49.840
stuff like that. I think what we should do is

00:41:49.840 --> 00:41:52.219
I'll grab like these big sacks of like wildflower

00:41:52.219 --> 00:41:53.519
seeds and just go out there and sprinkle them

00:41:53.519 --> 00:41:57.559
everywhere. And ruin the whole thing. Nice. I

00:41:57.559 --> 00:42:00.219
love that. They're like, what are all these flowers?

00:42:00.420 --> 00:42:05.119
Some totally invasive Chinese plant. Some vines.

00:42:05.239 --> 00:42:08.179
That's what we should do. Vines seeds. Yeah,

00:42:08.699 --> 00:42:12.360
just bring some kudzu. Just make it look like

00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:15.039
Houston. You know, you were talking about the

00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:18.260
stolen car event. You called it something, Flock?

00:42:19.059 --> 00:42:21.840
Flock. Flock. The Flock cameras. Flock cameras.

00:42:21.960 --> 00:42:24.039
I didn't know about this. What is the Flock camera?

00:42:24.219 --> 00:42:27.460
Yeah, so it is reading license plates, and if

00:42:27.460 --> 00:42:31.159
one comes up that there's a stolen vehicle, boom.

00:42:31.880 --> 00:42:35.179
That's how they got this guy. I don't have a

00:42:35.179 --> 00:42:37.489
problem with that. No, I think it's cool. I think

00:42:37.489 --> 00:42:39.150
people are having a problem with it because it's

00:42:39.150 --> 00:42:41.670
being abused. It's surveillance. Yeah, it's a

00:42:41.670 --> 00:42:44.010
surveillance, and there's been some folks that

00:42:44.010 --> 00:42:46.650
have abused it. One guy, I think they have him

00:42:46.650 --> 00:42:49.710
up in Chicago somewhere up north, and he was

00:42:49.710 --> 00:42:52.789
trying to track his girlfriend. Oh, boy. So he

00:42:52.789 --> 00:42:54.909
was stalking his girlfriend through these flock

00:42:54.909 --> 00:42:57.510
cameras. And he was a policeman, or he's part

00:42:57.510 --> 00:42:59.309
of that system, the flock system? I think he

00:42:59.309 --> 00:43:02.420
was a policeman. Did they have smods? Yeah, but

00:43:02.420 --> 00:43:05.280
I mean, so what? What was the end result there?

00:43:05.440 --> 00:43:07.400
So he was tracking where she was going? I mean,

00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:11.519
was there something bad that happened? He was

00:43:11.519 --> 00:43:14.179
just abused. It was abuse, yeah. You shouldn't

00:43:14.179 --> 00:43:17.480
be able to do that. Right. So these systems are

00:43:17.480 --> 00:43:19.639
built to really not identify who's driving the

00:43:19.639 --> 00:43:22.920
car. It's not supposed to tell you so -and -so's

00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:24.739
driving the car, but it's just a license plate.

00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:27.619
But what's happened a few times is people have

00:43:27.619 --> 00:43:30.650
used these for nefarious reasons. Right. You

00:43:30.650 --> 00:43:33.630
know what's crazy about that story is that several

00:43:33.630 --> 00:43:36.750
weeks earlier, Brody came home from the Nissan

00:43:36.750 --> 00:43:38.650
dealership where he works, right? And he's like,

00:43:38.710 --> 00:43:40.070
man, you're not going to believe this, but a

00:43:40.070 --> 00:43:42.050
car was stolen from our dealership and we're

00:43:42.050 --> 00:43:43.889
in deep shit because that should never have been

00:43:43.889 --> 00:43:45.570
able to happen. They're trying to figure out

00:43:45.570 --> 00:43:47.510
how did that even get stolen from the back of

00:43:47.510 --> 00:43:49.329
the dealership and all that. It was that one.

00:43:49.829 --> 00:43:53.769
Oh, really? That car. that I was being annoyed

00:43:53.769 --> 00:43:55.650
by the helicopter and stuff. The chase? Because

00:43:55.650 --> 00:43:57.309
then the next couple days later, Brody comes

00:43:57.309 --> 00:43:58.630
back. He's like, you're not going to believe

00:43:58.630 --> 00:44:00.309
this. That car that you were talking to me about,

00:44:00.389 --> 00:44:02.090
that's the one that was stolen from our dealership.

00:44:02.090 --> 00:44:04.829
Can you imagine dropping your car off as a customer

00:44:04.829 --> 00:44:09.269
and then getting the phone call? Yeah, I would

00:44:09.269 --> 00:44:12.070
like to get a status on my car. Yeah, it's been

00:44:12.070 --> 00:44:15.449
stolen. Paul, you'd have to have a car worth

00:44:15.449 --> 00:44:17.949
stealing, though. Oh, I don't, personally, no.

00:44:18.030 --> 00:44:20.090
No, I don't have to worry about that. Oh, my

00:44:20.090 --> 00:44:22.670
God. I had such a hard time getting your damn

00:44:22.670 --> 00:44:25.190
car in reverse today. Oh, it's hard to find.

00:44:25.309 --> 00:44:27.949
I couldn't figure it out. Is it down, up? It's

00:44:27.949 --> 00:44:30.269
up and left. Yeah. I mean, I figured it out.

00:44:30.630 --> 00:44:32.750
It's weird because, like, 15 people just happened

00:44:32.750 --> 00:44:34.690
to be walking. You know, they were, like, seeing

00:44:34.690 --> 00:44:37.530
me, like, forward a little bit. Looking like

00:44:37.530 --> 00:44:39.449
an idiot. I didn't grind it at all. You could

00:44:39.449 --> 00:44:41.849
tell, but it's just. The car kept nudging forward

00:44:41.849 --> 00:44:43.269
an inch, and I was like, fuck, that's the wrong

00:44:43.269 --> 00:44:45.690
one. Second, third, push down. That's not it.

00:44:45.789 --> 00:44:47.909
Push down. Fuck it. Finally, I got it. Well,

00:44:48.010 --> 00:44:50.809
the top thing has popped up a long time ago.

00:44:50.889 --> 00:44:53.510
I think this thing is 2006. Dude, man, love the

00:44:53.510 --> 00:44:56.690
hell out of it. I love that Volkswagen. Yeah,

00:44:56.750 --> 00:44:58.969
it gets 40 miles per gallon still. Gotta love

00:44:58.969 --> 00:45:05.210
it. Diesel. Regarding as of January 6, 2026,

00:45:05.349 --> 00:45:08.659
the following... are the top news topics and

00:45:08.659 --> 00:45:12.539
major stories shaping Texas. And the only...

00:45:12.539 --> 00:45:17.239
We haven't even talked about Maduro. Oh, did

00:45:17.239 --> 00:45:19.940
you want to jump on that? I mean, that is the

00:45:19.940 --> 00:45:23.460
biggest news story of the week. I get it, but...

00:45:23.460 --> 00:45:26.920
Are you already tired of it? Well, yeah, I absolutely

00:45:26.920 --> 00:45:28.599
am because that's all they fucking talk about.

00:45:28.659 --> 00:45:30.480
But there's not really a whole lot to talk about.

00:45:30.539 --> 00:45:33.389
We got them. Yeah, but I mean, the fact that

00:45:33.389 --> 00:45:36.849
they did a Delta Force operation with 150 planes

00:45:36.849 --> 00:45:40.409
and all sorts of crazy shit to swoop into a country

00:45:40.409 --> 00:45:43.809
and kidnap the president and his wife of that

00:45:43.809 --> 00:45:51.369
country. Venezuela is a hub of a bunch of. terroristic

00:45:51.369 --> 00:45:55.269
shit going on. You've got China, Iran, you've

00:45:55.269 --> 00:46:01.489
got Cuba, you've got Hamas, you've got all kinds

00:46:01.489 --> 00:46:03.949
of terrorist shit going on there. And so I'm

00:46:03.949 --> 00:46:07.250
hoping, I'm not 100 % sure, but we'll probably

00:46:07.250 --> 00:46:09.469
find out eventually. I'm hoping that when they

00:46:09.469 --> 00:46:11.389
went in there and did what they did and pulled

00:46:11.389 --> 00:46:16.050
his ass out, I'm hoping that they hit 15, 20,

00:46:16.130 --> 00:46:20.460
30 spots. in Venezuela that are all these little

00:46:20.460 --> 00:46:24.079
nesting areas, these camps, these cells. Well,

00:46:24.079 --> 00:46:26.679
Cuba admitted that 32 of their soldiers had been

00:46:26.679 --> 00:46:28.699
killed in the raid. That's his personal bodyguard,

00:46:28.739 --> 00:46:31.599
too. And what the hell are Cuban soldiers doing

00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:33.579
in Venezuela? Because they're buddies. I know

00:46:33.579 --> 00:46:36.260
that. They're cousins. I know. Dude, there's

00:46:36.260 --> 00:46:38.480
so much nefarious shit going on in there. Is

00:46:38.480 --> 00:46:42.000
this any different than them going to get Noriega

00:46:42.000 --> 00:46:44.539
out of Panama? No, no, it's actually identical.

00:46:44.860 --> 00:46:46.360
I mean, it's the same. 30 years later. Yeah.

00:46:46.650 --> 00:46:47.949
It's the same thing 30 years later. It's the

00:46:47.949 --> 00:46:50.210
exact same thing. Now, the problem is, I know

00:46:50.210 --> 00:46:52.030
all the Venezuelans are excited because they

00:46:52.030 --> 00:46:53.190
think they're going to get freedom and stuff,

00:46:53.269 --> 00:46:56.030
but dude, they have a hardened apparatus in place

00:46:56.030 --> 00:47:00.789
that is totally going to keep the same thing

00:47:00.789 --> 00:47:03.309
going. The military has already backed the vice

00:47:03.309 --> 00:47:07.510
president who has been with Maduro for freaking

00:47:07.510 --> 00:47:12.800
20 years, 30 years. I mean, so they have... You

00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:14.099
know what I mean? Well, when you say they backed

00:47:14.099 --> 00:47:16.940
him, give us a little bit more context there.

00:47:17.199 --> 00:47:20.960
What do you mean? The VP? You just said that

00:47:20.960 --> 00:47:23.719
the military for Venezuela is backing the VP.

00:47:23.980 --> 00:47:27.860
Yep. They publicly said they support, because

00:47:27.860 --> 00:47:30.760
she was sworn in right now that Maduro's gone,

00:47:30.900 --> 00:47:34.440
and the military publicly said - So who's protecting

00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:37.699
her? Yeah, the military. The military is. Well,

00:47:37.820 --> 00:47:39.679
I mean, her military, or do we have - No, no,

00:47:39.699 --> 00:47:41.539
no. Venezuelan military. So we don't have any

00:47:41.539 --> 00:47:43.579
boots on the ground currently in there. So we

00:47:43.579 --> 00:47:45.619
went in there, did our shit, and bailed. I was

00:47:45.619 --> 00:47:49.179
thinking that we would have an infrastructure

00:47:49.179 --> 00:47:53.260
there after taking him out. Nope. No. This was

00:47:53.260 --> 00:47:55.539
a law enforcement operation. They wanted to go

00:47:55.539 --> 00:47:58.460
in and arrest him and pull him out. Now, I mean,

00:47:58.480 --> 00:48:00.340
I know, like I said, everybody's getting excited

00:48:00.340 --> 00:48:02.559
because they think we brought freedom to Venezuela.

00:48:02.679 --> 00:48:04.340
But you know what? They got to figure it out.

00:48:04.400 --> 00:48:06.440
You know what? They have to figure it out. They

00:48:06.440 --> 00:48:08.940
got to, like, do an assessment, figure out what

00:48:08.940 --> 00:48:12.019
the people want, have a fair vote, and, you know,

00:48:12.019 --> 00:48:14.199
don't the Dominion voting machines come from

00:48:14.199 --> 00:48:17.599
Venezuela? Yeah, I don't know. I'm just like,

00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:19.219
I was skeptical that we're really going to see

00:48:19.219 --> 00:48:21.679
any changes, but we'll see. I think we will because

00:48:21.679 --> 00:48:24.480
I think the vice president initially said some

00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:27.639
things, nothing's going to change. I think there

00:48:27.639 --> 00:48:30.260
are some threats, but she's come out and says,

00:48:30.380 --> 00:48:32.980
okay, we're going to start playing nice. Well,

00:48:33.000 --> 00:48:36.599
Trump has made a few, I mean, did you hear anything

00:48:36.599 --> 00:48:39.519
he said today? He talked for a very long time

00:48:39.519 --> 00:48:41.059
today. Yeah, just talking all sorts of shit.

00:48:41.199 --> 00:48:44.179
Dude, he is, I don't give a shit. He is hilarious.

00:48:44.619 --> 00:48:48.039
I mean, he was, it was actually, I had a lot

00:48:48.039 --> 00:48:50.179
of fun listening to him today because he was

00:48:50.179 --> 00:48:52.019
having fun, you could tell it, and he wasn't

00:48:52.019 --> 00:48:55.440
being the traditional Trump. He was to a certain

00:48:55.440 --> 00:48:58.280
point, but he, It was actually kind of fun listening

00:48:58.280 --> 00:49:00.659
to him. He was just talking about all the people

00:49:00.659 --> 00:49:03.360
in the room because he had some sort of all his

00:49:03.360 --> 00:49:07.699
supporters over the years that provided money

00:49:07.699 --> 00:49:10.869
to support for him. What do they call that? Donations,

00:49:10.869 --> 00:49:13.550
you know, the first campaign. They were in this

00:49:13.550 --> 00:49:14.809
room and he was talking to them. He's like, I

00:49:14.809 --> 00:49:16.530
didn't like you too much, but I like you now.

00:49:16.650 --> 00:49:18.110
He's like, you know, we didn't always get along.

00:49:18.289 --> 00:49:20.530
And he went over the whole room and just started

00:49:20.530 --> 00:49:22.389
talking about January 6th. He started talking

00:49:22.389 --> 00:49:25.010
about the prior elections. And it was like, you

00:49:25.010 --> 00:49:26.349
know what? You guys thought I was wrong about

00:49:26.349 --> 00:49:28.110
all this stuff. They were coming after me for

00:49:28.110 --> 00:49:30.230
this. It turns out I was right about this, this,

00:49:30.309 --> 00:49:33.449
this. It was just, and granted, it gets nauseating

00:49:33.449 --> 00:49:35.969
hearing him say it over and over. It can be,

00:49:36.030 --> 00:49:39.380
yes. But it's... The fact is that he's right.

00:49:39.619 --> 00:49:46.360
Yeah. And until the... I'm almost sure if they

00:49:46.360 --> 00:49:50.099
just acknowledge on the left that he was right

00:49:50.099 --> 00:49:53.739
about something, he'll shut up. But it's just

00:49:53.739 --> 00:49:56.639
that they won't do it. They won't give him anything.

00:49:57.019 --> 00:49:59.380
Forever trolling them. Fucking Chuck Schumer.

00:49:59.710 --> 00:50:01.969
The next State of the Union is going to be pretty

00:50:01.969 --> 00:50:05.110
lit, isn't it? It's going to be fun. But the

00:50:05.110 --> 00:50:07.889
thing about the whole Maduro and going in and

00:50:07.889 --> 00:50:10.389
getting him and Chuck Schumer being the piece

00:50:10.389 --> 00:50:15.210
of shit that he is, he sat there and gave Trump

00:50:15.210 --> 00:50:18.489
such a hard time in the first term regarding

00:50:18.489 --> 00:50:21.269
not going in there and getting him. Why don't

00:50:21.269 --> 00:50:22.769
you do something about this? Why don't you do

00:50:22.769 --> 00:50:27.070
that? Maduro's still in power. Biden put a $25

00:50:27.070 --> 00:50:30.119
million bounty on his head. Right? Or, you know,

00:50:30.139 --> 00:50:33.780
for capture. Sure. And that was a talking point

00:50:33.780 --> 00:50:35.519
for them. Right. And then he finally did it.

00:50:35.539 --> 00:50:38.860
Where's his $25 million? Who's paying that? We

00:50:38.860 --> 00:50:42.719
should send that to the Delta Force. Obviously,

00:50:42.780 --> 00:50:44.880
they were on board with it. You know, the fact

00:50:44.880 --> 00:50:47.300
that he is a menace and he needs to be taken

00:50:47.300 --> 00:50:49.000
care of. And then he takes care of him. And then

00:50:49.000 --> 00:50:51.539
suddenly they're like, oh, this is illegal. This

00:50:51.539 --> 00:50:54.760
is outrageous. It's crazy. That's why I'm sick

00:50:54.760 --> 00:50:57.059
of talking about it. They're not serious. They're

00:50:57.059 --> 00:50:59.360
unserious people. They really are. And it makes

00:50:59.360 --> 00:51:02.760
me just nauseous. And it's transparent that their

00:51:02.760 --> 00:51:07.139
message is just anti -anything Trump, no matter

00:51:07.139 --> 00:51:10.780
what it is. That's why I just don't care. I just

00:51:10.780 --> 00:51:12.179
don't care because they're not going to give

00:51:12.179 --> 00:51:15.219
him anything. Nope. And it's fine. I get it.

00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:16.539
Don't give him anything. What do you guys think

00:51:16.539 --> 00:51:19.440
is going to happen in the midterms? I think it's

00:51:19.440 --> 00:51:21.440
going to be close. It's going to be close. Yeah,

00:51:21.440 --> 00:51:24.860
I'm a little nervous about it. We just said one

00:51:24.860 --> 00:51:27.960
of them died. They need to pass that SAVE Act.

00:51:28.179 --> 00:51:30.679
I mean, what is Thune doing? Just sitting on

00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:36.619
his ass. Who's who doing? The House passed the

00:51:36.619 --> 00:51:42.760
SAVE Act, which is requiring ID to vote. An actual

00:51:42.760 --> 00:51:47.000
ID in all states at all times. That's huge. It

00:51:47.000 --> 00:51:49.159
passed the House. And it's sitting on the Senate

00:51:49.159 --> 00:51:51.989
in some committee and it's never... It hasn't

00:51:51.989 --> 00:51:53.650
been brought up for a vote yet. Oh, boy. And

00:51:53.650 --> 00:51:55.630
even if it gets voted down. So they're stalling.

00:51:55.630 --> 00:51:58.329
At least they're on record saying this. But four

00:51:58.329 --> 00:52:00.610
Democrats voted for the SAVE Act in the House.

00:52:01.590 --> 00:52:03.409
What do you think they're going to do when they

00:52:03.409 --> 00:52:07.250
get pressure in the Senate? Right. You think

00:52:07.250 --> 00:52:10.110
they'll cave and vote for it? Maybe. Yeah. But

00:52:10.110 --> 00:52:11.969
they haven't even brought it up. Thune has not

00:52:11.969 --> 00:52:15.570
brought it up. If you don't, just the notion

00:52:15.570 --> 00:52:18.690
that you don't support showing an ID to vote.

00:52:18.789 --> 00:52:22.610
To vote. You support corruption. Yeah. There's

00:52:22.610 --> 00:52:25.010
no reason why you shouldn't. I 100 % agree. Did

00:52:25.010 --> 00:52:27.190
you see, I think it said Minnesota, that you

00:52:27.190 --> 00:52:30.690
can vouch for someone? Up to eight other people.

00:52:30.730 --> 00:52:34.170
Yeah, you can vouch for them. Unless you're a

00:52:34.170 --> 00:52:38.590
state employee, then you can vouch for unlimited.

00:52:38.929 --> 00:52:40.829
Unlimited. Whoa. What kind of bullshit is that?

00:52:40.929 --> 00:52:45.340
Yeah. Yes. Ah, neat. Oh, that's such bullshit.

00:52:45.539 --> 00:52:47.940
What are we doing? Why is so obviously fraud?

00:52:48.300 --> 00:52:52.320
Yes. Okay. I just had an aneurysm. Oh, my God.

00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:55.239
Okay. And that's why Tim Walls is where he's

00:52:55.239 --> 00:52:57.719
at and out the freaking door sooner than later.

00:52:57.820 --> 00:53:02.000
Happy feet. All right. Let's get into our second

00:53:02.000 --> 00:53:07.179
half bourbon. wonderful. This is distinctly different

00:53:07.179 --> 00:53:09.300
than what we had in the first half. Yeah, the

00:53:09.300 --> 00:53:12.400
first half was a single malt baller from California.

00:53:12.480 --> 00:53:16.559
This one is a ball buster. Just delicious. It's

00:53:16.559 --> 00:53:18.760
a double oak. Brilliant. Yeah, brilliant. I mean,

00:53:18.780 --> 00:53:22.860
the flavor is just so much more intense. At least

00:53:22.860 --> 00:53:26.380
it is for me. This is the 1845. It's been a while

00:53:26.380 --> 00:53:28.500
since we've done one of these. It's a five year.

00:53:29.179 --> 00:53:32.320
1845 preemption double oak. This was their first

00:53:33.449 --> 00:53:37.230
Double oak experience. And he says it's five

00:53:37.230 --> 00:53:40.130
years? 51 months. Not quite five years. So, you

00:53:40.130 --> 00:53:44.250
know, but the thing about 51 months, it's way

00:53:44.250 --> 00:53:47.110
different in Texas. It is. So when we sit there

00:53:47.110 --> 00:53:49.409
and we look at a weller, that 12 -year -old weller,

00:53:49.449 --> 00:53:52.030
you know, it's kind of like, yeah, I get it.

00:53:52.070 --> 00:53:55.869
But this is different. This is in Texas. It's

00:53:55.869 --> 00:53:58.530
a different animal. It ages faster. It goes so

00:53:58.530 --> 00:54:03.179
much longer. This is a can of cherry cola. I'm

00:54:03.179 --> 00:54:07.059
getting a light chocolate. I can get that. I

00:54:07.059 --> 00:54:09.320
can get both of those. Yeah. You did not or did?

00:54:09.460 --> 00:54:12.880
I did. I could get both of those. You know what?

00:54:12.920 --> 00:54:18.860
I get a cherry, a light chocolate cherry. It's

00:54:18.860 --> 00:54:24.019
absolutely terrific. Oh, yeah. Probably one of

00:54:24.019 --> 00:54:27.039
the better double oaks that I have ever had.

00:54:29.400 --> 00:54:31.599
We've had a few. I think the Woodford Reserve

00:54:31.599 --> 00:54:33.219
Double Oak is good. I don't think it's as good

00:54:33.219 --> 00:54:36.539
as this. I don't think it's as... I approve,

00:54:36.800 --> 00:54:39.500
so that's not as intense as this, but that's

00:54:39.500 --> 00:54:42.139
a good bourbon as well. This has one of the longest

00:54:42.139 --> 00:54:46.860
lasting finishes of anything I've ever had. It's

00:54:46.860 --> 00:54:50.039
so rich. It just stays there forever. I can compare

00:54:50.039 --> 00:54:53.800
it to a cowboy... Hold on, let me rephrase that.

00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:57.070
I can compare it... The longevity of the taste

00:54:57.070 --> 00:54:59.750
is punchy like the cowboy from Garrison Brothers.

00:55:00.469 --> 00:55:02.530
Yeah, it just hangs. It hangs there and hangs

00:55:02.530 --> 00:55:05.010
there in a good way. That's what the uncut, unfiltered

00:55:05.010 --> 00:55:07.389
cowboy did. It just was there. So it won something,

00:55:07.570 --> 00:55:09.389
yeah? It's in your mouth. It won some award,

00:55:09.630 --> 00:55:12.170
I think. They're very proud of all the awards

00:55:12.170 --> 00:55:14.489
they've won, and I don't blame them, of course.

00:55:14.550 --> 00:55:17.250
I think it was a silver. Silver? Okay. I don't

00:55:17.250 --> 00:55:19.590
know. I'm surprised it didn't, because usually

00:55:19.590 --> 00:55:21.449
they're like talking about double gold and this

00:55:21.449 --> 00:55:23.130
and that and all these awards that they're winning.

00:55:23.130 --> 00:55:24.949
The judges at the San Francisco World Spirits

00:55:24.949 --> 00:55:27.110
Competition noted its sweetness balanced by spice,

00:55:27.190 --> 00:55:30.130
distinctive text character from the use of local

00:55:30.130 --> 00:55:33.650
grains like elbin rye, resulting in complex and

00:55:33.650 --> 00:55:36.849
award -winning bourbon. I thought it was going

00:55:36.849 --> 00:55:39.489
to say what they won, so. Not if they said it

00:55:39.489 --> 00:55:42.130
was a world whiskey silver. Silver. Okay. There

00:55:42.130 --> 00:55:46.769
you go. All right. Well, it's excellent. Yeah,

00:55:46.809 --> 00:55:49.070
I would recommend this, and I have many, many

00:55:49.070 --> 00:55:51.269
times when I'm in there, and I hear someone go,

00:55:51.389 --> 00:55:53.889
hey, I'm looking for a Texas bourbon. Hey, I

00:55:53.889 --> 00:55:56.050
take it right to 1845. There are a lot of listeners

00:55:56.050 --> 00:55:58.150
out there that are from Texas, and you're kind

00:55:58.150 --> 00:56:00.750
of like, well, I can't go to Kentucky, or I'm

00:56:00.750 --> 00:56:02.590
not going to be able to get. Dude, there are

00:56:02.590 --> 00:56:06.110
so many. right here in Texas. It's good. Right

00:56:06.110 --> 00:56:08.050
around the freaking corner. And this is located

00:56:08.050 --> 00:56:11.809
in Lowry Crossing, Texas. 1845 Distillery. Fantastic

00:56:11.809 --> 00:56:15.869
family. June, Bob, Ben, Miguel, the distiller.

00:56:15.969 --> 00:56:18.530
Those guys are fantastic. They're an excellent

00:56:18.530 --> 00:56:21.969
family. Very giving. Sweet people. Such a small

00:56:21.969 --> 00:56:25.650
operation. And very successful. Humble, too.

00:56:25.849 --> 00:56:28.949
They're very humble. Just east of McKinney. Yeah.

00:56:29.030 --> 00:56:31.440
Yeah. Yeah, if you live here in the Dallas -Fort

00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:36.400
Worth area, it's just northeast of Dallas. Just

00:56:36.400 --> 00:56:41.989
north of Plano East. It's right there. Yeah.

00:56:42.050 --> 00:56:44.849
Right off of 75. Yeah. It takes us 20 minutes

00:56:44.849 --> 00:56:46.769
to get there. Take Highway 5 a little bit out

00:56:46.769 --> 00:56:49.869
there. Yeah. And they just redid the road out

00:56:49.869 --> 00:56:52.130
there, which was a huge pain in the ass before

00:56:52.130 --> 00:56:53.969
they fixed it. But now it's fixed. It's easy

00:56:53.969 --> 00:56:55.929
to go to. They have the tours that they scheduled.

00:56:56.349 --> 00:56:58.090
Oh, it's not a dirt road anymore? No. No. They

00:56:58.090 --> 00:57:00.230
switched it out. It's paved. Nice black top.

00:57:00.530 --> 00:57:02.489
Yeah, it's a nice black top. Man, I haven't been

00:57:02.489 --> 00:57:05.889
there in a while. Also, they started a new program

00:57:05.889 --> 00:57:08.389
where it's like mix your own whiskey that Ben

00:57:08.389 --> 00:57:11.239
is pushing out there. Yeah. And, you know, it's

00:57:11.239 --> 00:57:13.820
$130, $140 a pop to get in there. I think so.

00:57:13.940 --> 00:57:17.300
That'd be fun. $1845. Highly recommended. This

00:57:17.300 --> 00:57:19.679
shit right here is going to score really high

00:57:19.679 --> 00:57:22.960
for me. Small batch cast strength. I'm trying

00:57:22.960 --> 00:57:24.960
to find something else on here, but I can't.

00:57:25.199 --> 00:57:31.519
And it's $113 .8. Does this taste hotter? No,

00:57:31.639 --> 00:57:33.500
it does not. It does not hot to me. It's not

00:57:33.500 --> 00:57:40.280
hot, but it tastes hotter than the $113 .8. 113

00:57:40.280 --> 00:57:44.800
.8. Oh, okay. Yeah. Man, this is really difficult.

00:57:45.039 --> 00:57:47.420
It's rich, but not being hot. What category do

00:57:47.420 --> 00:57:49.380
we put this in? Does it have a bottle number

00:57:49.380 --> 00:57:57.340
on there? Yes. 24 of 69. Okay. No, batch 24,

00:57:57.559 --> 00:58:00.079
bottle 69. Bottle 69. So you guys have rated

00:58:00.079 --> 00:58:03.179
this before. Yeah. Yes. Oh, yeah. We've had this

00:58:03.179 --> 00:58:05.780
before. Oh, so you know what we rated. Yes, I

00:58:05.780 --> 00:58:09.360
do. So we can see if we're consistent. Okay.

00:58:09.579 --> 00:58:11.320
Well, let's see how close you are. What do you

00:58:11.320 --> 00:58:15.219
say? Man, I tell you, I'm enjoying this. And

00:58:15.219 --> 00:58:20.039
as much as I'm a little leery giving it over

00:58:20.039 --> 00:58:24.619
an eight, I'm going to give it an 8 .0 because

00:58:24.619 --> 00:58:27.760
I'm really enjoying this. I would buy this. It's

00:58:27.760 --> 00:58:30.559
sweet. It's cherry cola. You ever know every

00:58:30.559 --> 00:58:34.260
now and then you just have a hankering for a

00:58:34.260 --> 00:58:37.389
flavor. of a Coca -Cola or something that you

00:58:37.389 --> 00:58:39.969
just, oh my gosh, I don't drink it, but you know

00:58:39.969 --> 00:58:43.650
what? I really want it. This is that. It quenches

00:58:43.650 --> 00:58:45.489
that thirst, and I'm going to give it an eight.

00:58:46.369 --> 00:58:49.090
I'm at seven, eight. I was actually going to

00:58:49.090 --> 00:58:53.670
do seven, nine. So let's see what our original

00:58:53.670 --> 00:59:01.829
ratings were. Sean, eight, two. Paul, seven,

00:59:01.889 --> 00:59:06.670
nine. Same. Jeff, eight, one. Look at me. I'm

00:59:06.670 --> 00:59:09.230
consistent. So we're very close to where we were.

00:59:09.590 --> 00:59:12.650
Well, I'm dead on. You suck. Within a couple

00:59:12.650 --> 00:59:15.409
of tenths, yeah. You were watching Chuck. He

00:59:15.409 --> 00:59:19.289
was like, seven, nine. Yeah. Could, like, do

00:59:19.289 --> 00:59:22.590
sign language. Oh, yeah. That's so racist. Seven,

00:59:22.590 --> 00:59:25.570
nine. That's so racist. Seven of them are racist.

00:59:25.750 --> 00:59:27.570
Yes. How much time do we have? A couple minutes.

00:59:27.849 --> 00:59:31.329
A couple minutes? All right. What are we going

00:59:31.329 --> 00:59:33.110
to do? We're going to hit Maduro. What are we

00:59:33.110 --> 00:59:34.269
talking about? I want to talk about something

00:59:34.269 --> 00:59:36.250
interesting. I read an article today about an

00:59:36.250 --> 00:59:41.349
AI. A city was testing a new AI program out to

00:59:41.349 --> 00:59:45.289
write police reports. And it was being tested.

00:59:45.369 --> 00:59:46.829
I don't know if they were monitoring it. I don't

00:59:46.829 --> 00:59:48.210
know if the news. I guess the news was involved.

00:59:48.510 --> 00:59:52.070
I don't recommend that. And the AI changed the

00:59:52.070 --> 00:59:57.829
police officer to a frog in the report. And they

00:59:57.829 --> 00:59:59.809
were having all kinds of problems with accuracy,

01:00:00.010 --> 01:00:03.030
and it changed it to a frog, the police officer,

01:00:03.170 --> 01:00:06.289
because, I guess, in the background, it said

01:00:06.289 --> 01:00:09.630
that someone had the princess and the frog Disney

01:00:09.630 --> 01:00:12.530
movie playing. So, yeah, it just kind of pulled

01:00:12.530 --> 01:00:15.170
in whatever it thought was... Whatever environmentally...

01:00:15.170 --> 01:00:24.309
So, this brings up the idea that... Utah. Anytime

01:00:24.309 --> 01:00:26.699
you go on a website... And it says, hey, look,

01:00:26.780 --> 01:00:28.659
we want to make sure you're not a bot. Please

01:00:28.659 --> 01:00:30.519
take this circle and put it where it should go.

01:00:30.679 --> 01:00:35.400
Right. It's the same shit. I mean, can AI recognize

01:00:35.400 --> 01:00:38.340
that you can click and drag a circle into a circle?

01:00:38.940 --> 01:00:43.099
I mean, is it that smart? I think so. I would

01:00:43.099 --> 01:00:45.639
think so, too. But what's the context? The context

01:00:45.639 --> 01:00:51.420
is that if the general websites out there think

01:00:51.420 --> 01:00:53.440
that AI is not that smart, it's not that smart.

01:00:53.760 --> 01:00:57.789
It's not. And maybe it will get to that point

01:00:57.789 --> 01:01:00.250
someday, but right now it's far away. I don't

01:01:00.250 --> 01:01:01.710
think it's ever going to get there. I just think

01:01:01.710 --> 01:01:05.489
it's too unstable to trust it for anything. Well,

01:01:05.550 --> 01:01:11.409
look, they are doing AI for our company. Right.

01:01:11.449 --> 01:01:14.150
And it turns out they're quote -unquote vendors.

01:01:14.369 --> 01:01:18.090
I found that out this morning. That help with

01:01:18.090 --> 01:01:22.909
this product, this process that we do. So I write

01:01:22.909 --> 01:01:27.360
my reports. And I'm very particular with the

01:01:27.360 --> 01:01:29.179
way my stuff goes out. I want it to look good.

01:01:29.260 --> 01:01:34.119
It's my product. And when I push a report to

01:01:34.119 --> 01:01:40.139
a client and the AI will gather the report, it'll

01:01:40.139 --> 01:01:44.219
groom it and it won't change the words in it,

01:01:44.260 --> 01:01:48.059
but it may move indexing and reformat, bold,

01:01:48.360 --> 01:01:50.760
underline. It may do some stuff. I'm not a huge

01:01:50.760 --> 01:01:53.690
fan of that at all. Because what it did is it

01:01:53.690 --> 01:01:59.329
makes mistakes. So if I have a parent caption

01:01:59.329 --> 01:02:02.289
and I've got bullet points under that caption

01:02:02.289 --> 01:02:06.429
that I'm trying to highlight, and they make the

01:02:06.429 --> 01:02:11.989
subtopics the same as the parent topic, well,

01:02:12.010 --> 01:02:15.190
that fucking ruins the whole report. Right. It

01:02:15.190 --> 01:02:17.150
makes it not make sense. Yeah. So I'm just kind

01:02:17.150 --> 01:02:19.639
of like, dude. And so I saw it went out. It happened

01:02:19.639 --> 01:02:22.920
several times. And so I fired off an email to

01:02:22.920 --> 01:02:26.880
say, hey, look, this happened just FYI. Is it

01:02:26.880 --> 01:02:29.320
optional that you use it? Or they have told you

01:02:29.320 --> 01:02:31.260
run every report through this thing? I don't

01:02:31.260 --> 01:02:33.559
use it. I don't do it. Oh, you don't have to

01:02:33.559 --> 01:02:37.760
use it at all. No, I don't. My admin will send

01:02:37.760 --> 01:02:40.440
it through this. It's a process. I don't send

01:02:40.440 --> 01:02:42.860
anything out to anybody. I send it to my admin.

01:02:42.920 --> 01:02:46.139
She sends it. So she wraps it up. She makes it

01:02:46.139 --> 01:02:48.579
look all whatever. And then she punts it. And

01:02:48.579 --> 01:02:52.119
before it gets punted, it's sent to the AI. AI

01:02:52.119 --> 01:02:57.079
will grab it and it'll pop it out. That's scary.

01:02:57.400 --> 01:02:59.880
It's scary because they send... It's similar.

01:03:00.039 --> 01:03:02.420
I mean, the word frog doesn't show up, but...

01:03:02.559 --> 01:03:05.420
It's similar stupid shit. But you're liable for

01:03:05.420 --> 01:03:07.460
the accuracy of that report. Yeah, well, the

01:03:07.460 --> 01:03:10.400
letter... I hope it's being reviewed by you before

01:03:10.400 --> 01:03:12.900
it goes out. No, it's not. That's crazy. It's

01:03:12.900 --> 01:03:15.019
not. So it doesn't change the words, but again,

01:03:15.159 --> 01:03:19.659
it changes some of the way it's set up. And the

01:03:19.659 --> 01:03:23.719
fact that it was set up wrong kind of... It just

01:03:23.719 --> 01:03:26.840
looks unprofessional. So when I get it and I

01:03:26.840 --> 01:03:28.719
look at it after it got sent out, I'm like, well,

01:03:28.760 --> 01:03:31.260
I didn't fucking write it like that. Why is that

01:03:31.260 --> 01:03:33.619
paragraph out of whack like that? It's all out

01:03:33.619 --> 01:03:38.400
of order. I think AI is going to hit a roadblock

01:03:38.400 --> 01:03:41.539
here, if it already hasn't, because of power

01:03:41.539 --> 01:03:46.699
requirements. I read an article that Grok, the

01:03:46.699 --> 01:03:50.780
center that all the servers, hundreds of servers,

01:03:50.920 --> 01:03:54.380
is outside of Memphis, is where this is. And

01:03:54.380 --> 01:03:57.619
the amount of power that it requires, they had

01:03:57.619 --> 01:04:01.099
to install, I think, 50 big diesel generators.

01:04:01.500 --> 01:04:03.699
Because of all the bikinis they were putting

01:04:03.699 --> 01:04:06.659
on people? Yeah, there you go. That's good for

01:04:06.659 --> 01:04:09.519
the environment. All these diesel generators

01:04:09.519 --> 01:04:13.880
are running and polluting Memphis. So all this

01:04:13.880 --> 01:04:16.920
exhaust is, like, destroying the air in Memphis.

01:04:17.500 --> 01:04:21.840
Nice. And they're like, you know. I love it.

01:04:21.860 --> 01:04:25.119
It's ridiculous. Unintended consequences of things

01:04:25.119 --> 01:04:26.880
that we just think is so important. So how are

01:04:26.880 --> 01:04:30.639
we going to dial it back? Well, it's power. I

01:04:30.639 --> 01:04:32.820
mean, China is, I think, way ahead. They're building

01:04:32.820 --> 01:04:35.480
coal plants left and right. They're building

01:04:35.480 --> 01:04:38.440
what? Coal plants. Coal plants. Yeah. Well, what

01:04:38.440 --> 01:04:40.760
about - We can't. Well, we've always discussed

01:04:40.760 --> 01:04:43.519
having alternative fuel options. I mean, where

01:04:43.519 --> 01:04:45.360
are we at with fusion? I mean, we still need

01:04:45.360 --> 01:04:48.179
to address that. No. We just need to do the gyms.

01:04:48.239 --> 01:04:50.199
Yeah, the gyms with the bikes. Gyms with the

01:04:50.199 --> 01:04:53.559
bikes all around the data center. That's right.

01:04:54.239 --> 01:04:56.679
Biking. You know what? And very aggressive bikers.

01:04:56.719 --> 01:04:58.500
Yes. You know what I mean? Like the real serious

01:04:58.500 --> 01:05:03.159
people. I would propose that we send folks that

01:05:03.159 --> 01:05:07.349
break the law. Convert them to, like, gas? Instead

01:05:07.349 --> 01:05:12.510
of them sitting in a quarry with a mallet on

01:05:12.510 --> 01:05:14.730
these rocks and smashing them, you put them on

01:05:14.730 --> 01:05:18.289
a cycle, and you just, hey, man. And a hand crank,

01:05:18.429 --> 01:05:21.110
so they can be doing the hands and the feet at

01:05:21.110 --> 01:05:22.909
the same time. Whatever's going to be the most

01:05:22.909 --> 01:05:25.610
productive. Is that torture? No, I don't think

01:05:25.610 --> 01:05:27.929
so. Exercise? They're going to be healthy. No,

01:05:27.949 --> 01:05:31.070
it's Maha. They're going to lose weight? Make

01:05:31.070 --> 01:05:34.610
America healthy again. Make prisoners healthy

01:05:34.610 --> 01:05:38.250
again. But in all reality, I do think that AI

01:05:38.250 --> 01:05:43.449
is going to hit a limit. We may not be there

01:05:43.449 --> 01:05:45.789
yet, but it's going to hit a limit because it

01:05:45.789 --> 01:05:48.010
requires so much power. And we don't have enough

01:05:48.010 --> 01:05:50.929
power. Hey, we got some celebrity deaths to go

01:05:50.929 --> 01:05:52.550
over from the last couple of minutes. One big

01:05:52.550 --> 01:05:54.809
one. This is a big one here. Sure. We got Buck

01:05:54.809 --> 01:05:57.389
Rogers. We lost Buck Rogers. I was a huge Buck

01:05:57.389 --> 01:05:59.670
Rogers fan. I watched that every year. Yeah.

01:05:59.670 --> 01:06:01.630
Giggity, giggity. Yes. And Wilma Deary. What's

01:06:01.630 --> 01:06:04.630
up, Buck? Wilma was hot. Wilma. Oh, dude, she

01:06:04.630 --> 01:06:06.769
is. Wilma was hot. She's still kind of hot. Show

01:06:06.769 --> 01:06:09.110
me Wilma. I never watched the show. Erin Green.

01:06:09.210 --> 01:06:10.829
Erin Gray. Oh, I know who that is. She was also

01:06:10.829 --> 01:06:13.949
the Silver Spoons mom. Right. Yes. You know who

01:06:13.949 --> 01:06:18.710
does the voice for Ziggy? Twiggy. Twiggy. No.

01:06:18.710 --> 01:06:21.710
Is Mel Blanc. Mel Blanc. Oh, nice. Who did Bugs

01:06:21.710 --> 01:06:24.909
Bunny and Pokey Pig. Oh, no shit. Who did Mr.

01:06:25.269 --> 01:06:26.949
Theolopolis? Oh, that's who they have in the

01:06:26.949 --> 01:06:29.070
little circle at the bottom right there. Is that

01:06:29.070 --> 01:06:31.789
who that is? Is that Mel Blanc? No, that's Gil,

01:06:31.909 --> 01:06:34.130
isn't it? Yeah, that's probably Gil. That's Gil.

01:06:34.130 --> 01:06:37.630
That's Buck. That's Gil Gerard. Gerard. Oh, sorry.

01:06:38.289 --> 01:06:40.429
Oh, look at that. Gerard. Look at that outfit.

01:06:40.550 --> 01:06:42.449
Oh, those are nice outfits. Now, we got to show

01:06:42.449 --> 01:06:46.519
that on the podcast short. Yeah, for sure. That

01:06:46.519 --> 01:06:48.719
was a great show. Great show. I never watched

01:06:48.719 --> 01:06:50.760
it. I was overseas at the time, I think. I like

01:06:50.760 --> 01:06:54.099
when he goes through the space, like the stars

01:06:54.099 --> 01:06:59.139
are hitting the screen and blowing up. Buck Rogers

01:06:59.139 --> 01:07:01.860
in the 25th century. That right there. He died

01:07:01.860 --> 01:07:04.139
at the age of 82. That's not how stars work.

01:07:05.019 --> 01:07:08.179
Like, at all. Each one of those stars is a massive

01:07:08.179 --> 01:07:12.800
sun. That's so silly. I loved this show as a

01:07:12.800 --> 01:07:15.510
kid. Yeah. I'm just watching. It's kind of bringing

01:07:15.510 --> 01:07:17.329
it back. So how bad would it be if we watched

01:07:17.329 --> 01:07:20.710
it now? Like during the podcast? No, I just mean...

01:07:20.710 --> 01:07:23.170
I've actually watched one recently. Really? On

01:07:23.170 --> 01:07:26.829
like YouTube? No, it's Antenna. We get it. 2004.

01:07:27.110 --> 01:07:32.989
It's 2491. In the 25th century. These outfits

01:07:32.989 --> 01:07:36.110
are ridiculous. Yeah, it's the same era as Logan's

01:07:36.110 --> 01:07:40.030
Run. Yes. I get those two confused, actually.

01:07:40.329 --> 01:07:42.159
And the original Battlestar Galactica. What was

01:07:42.159 --> 01:07:44.559
the other one? 1999? The original Battlestar

01:07:44.559 --> 01:07:48.739
Galactica. Yeah, 1999 was a show by L2. They

01:07:48.739 --> 01:07:51.139
had all kinds of fun stuff. They did. Star Trek

01:07:51.139 --> 01:07:54.340
was coming out. They did. The original Star Trek.

01:07:54.579 --> 01:07:56.960
And the original Battlestar Galactica was awesome.

01:07:57.440 --> 01:08:01.059
And that's 1976 is when Star Wars came out, by

01:08:01.059 --> 01:08:04.579
the way. 77. Well, I saw it in 76. I thought

01:08:04.579 --> 01:08:06.940
it was 78. Oh, you got it. We went to Skywalker

01:08:06.940 --> 01:08:09.559
Ranch. Yeah. Early release. I was in Skywalker

01:08:09.559 --> 01:08:12.059
Ranch. Supposedly a Star Wars fan. So we also

01:08:12.059 --> 01:08:17.199
lost Greg Biffle. Taking his shot. We also lost

01:08:17.199 --> 01:08:19.760
Greg Biffle, NASCAR racer. That was kind of.

01:08:19.859 --> 01:08:22.779
He died in a plane crash with his family. Yeah.

01:08:23.760 --> 01:08:27.020
Tragic. Do they know what caused that? They were

01:08:27.020 --> 01:08:28.359
just having engine malfunction. Someone smuggled

01:08:28.359 --> 01:08:30.340
a hazmat bottle of booze. They just took off,

01:08:30.359 --> 01:08:31.899
and they circled around. They were trying to

01:08:31.899 --> 01:08:34.439
land again, and it crashed before landing. They

01:08:34.439 --> 01:08:36.500
ran out of, obviously, fuel, but no, because

01:08:36.500 --> 01:08:39.300
that thing's raging. So his family, and there

01:08:39.300 --> 01:08:40.659
were some other significant people on that. It

01:08:40.659 --> 01:08:43.819
was probably leaking fuel. No, it had just taken

01:08:43.819 --> 01:08:46.479
off, and they were having trouble. Crazy. We

01:08:46.479 --> 01:08:50.520
lost Chris Ray, who... Oh, yeah. Yeah, famous

01:08:50.520 --> 01:08:53.199
for the song, I'm Going to Texas, and one called

01:08:53.199 --> 01:08:54.720
Driving Home for Christmas. I don't remember

01:08:54.720 --> 01:08:56.979
that one, but... That's what they're quoting.

01:08:57.140 --> 01:09:00.199
I don't know if I know his Texas song. And then

01:09:00.199 --> 01:09:03.359
a great Brigitte Bardot. Dude, she died at 91.

01:09:04.439 --> 01:09:07.119
She looked like that when she died? Exactly.

01:09:08.319 --> 01:09:13.279
That's Carrie Fisher. You just showed that just

01:09:13.279 --> 01:09:15.239
for props? She's not alive either. She's wearing

01:09:15.239 --> 01:09:18.960
her Jabba the Hutt outfit. Yeah, Brigitte Bardot.

01:09:19.020 --> 01:09:23.199
She kind of left. The whole scene for a while.

01:09:23.359 --> 01:09:25.600
She was convicted six times by the French state

01:09:25.600 --> 01:09:31.399
between 97 and 2008 for... It was for... Boom,

01:09:31.460 --> 01:09:35.020
it's gone. Criticizing mass immigration and extremism.

01:09:35.020 --> 01:09:37.699
Yeah, you didn't hear about this? Good for her,

01:09:37.739 --> 01:09:41.399
by the way. She's based. She's my new hero. Yeah,

01:09:41.420 --> 01:09:45.020
she was like not a fan of the left. Well, dude,

01:09:45.100 --> 01:09:47.439
she understands the... She understood the assignment

01:09:47.439 --> 01:09:50.829
of... Of the real world. No, I get it. But, you

01:09:50.829 --> 01:09:52.489
know, she's like, you know how when people die

01:09:52.489 --> 01:09:55.390
on the right or whatever, and they like shit

01:09:55.390 --> 01:09:57.310
all over them, she was getting shit on by the

01:09:57.310 --> 01:10:02.270
left for her anti -immigration and racist. Oh,

01:10:02.270 --> 01:10:04.229
man. I mean, she was pro -French, though. I mean,

01:10:04.229 --> 01:10:07.250
she was, you know. No, I get it. What do you

01:10:07.250 --> 01:10:08.930
call it? A nationalist, right? Defending the

01:10:08.930 --> 01:10:11.369
motherland. Yeah. I hear you. And you can't really,

01:10:11.510 --> 01:10:15.050
whatever. I know it. I know it. You know, people

01:10:15.050 --> 01:10:18.779
like what they like. Of course, Islam's different.

01:10:19.479 --> 01:10:22.460
She was beautiful. Yeah, she was a pretty lady.

01:10:22.819 --> 01:10:24.840
There was a lot of hot women back in the day.

01:10:24.960 --> 01:10:28.840
There always are, but there were some nice -looking

01:10:28.840 --> 01:10:32.340
women that, just because they're 80 and 90 years

01:10:32.340 --> 01:10:36.140
old now, I guess when you look at it, you're

01:10:36.140 --> 01:10:39.130
like, yeah. Well, there you go. So we're going

01:10:39.130 --> 01:10:41.010
to look like that. Jump the shark. We're going

01:10:41.010 --> 01:10:45.350
to look just like that? That's a Val Kilmer version.

01:10:45.729 --> 01:10:47.649
Remember we talked about fears of getting old?

01:10:48.189 --> 01:10:51.329
To look like Bridget Bardot. This is our fear.

01:10:51.350 --> 01:10:52.430
Your fear is Bridget Bardot. That's what we're

01:10:52.430 --> 01:10:54.390
going to look like. I don't even care. I don't

01:10:54.390 --> 01:10:56.029
care about getting old. I can be old as shit

01:10:56.029 --> 01:10:58.409
as long as I can function. As long as my brain

01:10:58.409 --> 01:11:01.079
works and, you know. As long as I can sit on

01:11:01.079 --> 01:11:04.020
a rocking chair on a patio on a wonderful 65

01:11:04.020 --> 01:11:07.380
-degree day and sip something like this 1845

01:11:07.380 --> 01:11:09.899
Double Oak. Yeah. Shout out to Lowry Crossing

01:11:09.899 --> 01:11:12.819
1845. Yeah. Good stuff. Good shit. Texas straight

01:11:12.819 --> 01:11:16.039
bourbon whiskey. And we bought this one. This

01:11:16.039 --> 01:11:17.939
was last year before the Texian. This is when

01:11:17.939 --> 01:11:20.159
the Texian I came out. I believe so, yeah. This

01:11:20.159 --> 01:11:23.699
is at least a year old. Do they have at least

01:11:23.699 --> 01:11:26.680
a second Double Oak? I just bought two bottles.

01:11:26.739 --> 01:11:28.659
One belongs to me, and the other one belongs

01:11:28.659 --> 01:11:31.399
to a buddy in Arizona. A double oak? Yeah, a

01:11:31.399 --> 01:11:32.899
double oak. I just picked one up this weekend.

01:11:32.979 --> 01:11:37.819
So they released another one. I can drink this

01:11:37.819 --> 01:11:41.000
one. What was the proof on it again? 113 .8.

01:11:41.119 --> 01:11:44.359
Yeah, 113 .8. Excellent. 114. Excellent, excellent.

01:11:44.970 --> 01:11:46.689
All right, second half of the Dudes Like Us podcast.

01:11:46.890 --> 01:11:49.050

We're kind of a big thing. We are. We're huge.

01:11:56.869 --> 01:12:00.010
And I've got a couple friends that we might want

01:12:00.010 --> 01:12:02.569
to bring on the podcast. So we should talk about

01:12:02.569 --> 01:12:05.810
that. Tier ones. Tier ones. I mean, all my friends

01:12:05.810 --> 01:12:07.989
are tier ones. Do they own helicopters or boats?

01:12:07.989 --> 01:12:10.170
I don't understand. Oh, yeah, you guys are tiered.

01:12:10.649 --> 01:12:14.819
You're two, you're three. Hold on. I'll go over

01:12:14.819 --> 01:12:17.279
the numbers. I'm moving up. Chuck, thank you

01:12:17.279 --> 01:12:21.520
for all staying on top of shit. Good stuff. I'm

01:12:21.520 --> 01:12:23.939
a little toasty. I'm Sean. I'm Paul. And I'm

01:12:23.939 --> 01:12:24.119
Jeff.
