WEBVTT

00:00:04.470 --> 00:00:09.929
Yeah, it helps me. What's your clap? Without

00:00:09.929 --> 00:00:14.109
the clap, I have to... Your mouth totally doesn't

00:00:14.109 --> 00:00:16.629
match. Even though you're saying something, your

00:00:16.629 --> 00:00:18.170
lips don't look like you're saying something.

00:00:19.690 --> 00:00:22.149
Yeah, you guys are just weird. What is the clap?

00:00:24.190 --> 00:00:26.309
I know it's a venereal disease. That's the gonorrhea,

00:00:26.350 --> 00:00:30.070
dude. I don't know. Does it affect your urethra?

00:00:30.530 --> 00:00:34.000
I think it's gonorrhea. Yeah, but the gonorrhea,

00:00:34.060 --> 00:00:36.759
isn't that like a bacteria that affects your

00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:40.079
urinary shaft, your urinary tract? It's pronounced

00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:44.240
gonorrhea. Gonorrhea. Oh, thank you. All right.

00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:45.560
Yeah, so that's what we're jumping out with.

00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:47.719
We're going to go over all of the sexually transmitted

00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:50.399
diseases that you can get, what it looks like.

00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:52.759
We'll show you the pictures of all that. And

00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.060
we're excited about that. That's not happening.

00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:00.100
Oh. The clap is a common slang term for gonorrhea,

00:01:00.219 --> 00:01:04.280
as Chuck calls it. Good. Ganoria? Ganoria. Ganoria.

00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:07.159
Very common and easily treatable bacterial sexually

00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.840
transmitted infection spread through oral, annul,

00:01:11.060 --> 00:01:14.859
or vaginal sex. Annul. Annul sex. Causing symptoms

00:01:14.859 --> 00:01:18.379
like painful pee -pees or discharge. It does

00:01:18.379 --> 00:01:21.400
not say pee -pees. It says urination. Nice. I

00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:22.859
think it's also called drippy dick. Sounds like

00:01:22.859 --> 00:01:24.680
a city in Game of Thrones. How do you say it

00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:26.939
again? Drippy dick? Drippy dick. No, not Drippy

00:01:26.939 --> 00:01:29.480
Dick. Ganoria or whatever you... That was Chuck.

00:01:29.739 --> 00:01:32.180
Ganoria. Ganoria. That's like a city in Game

00:01:32.180 --> 00:01:34.640
of Thrones, I think. I thought Anol was. Anol?

00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:36.640
Anol, yeah. That one probably is, too. Believe

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:38.439
it or not, folks, this is the first half of the

00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:40.439
Dudes Like Us podcast. It's Tuesday, January

00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:44.359
13, 2026. Celebrating the first half of the first

00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.420
two weeks of 2026 is fucking awesome. I know.

00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:50.120
Yeah, the first fucking month is half over already.

00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.340
I know. Yeah, well, you know what? God bless.

00:01:53.379 --> 00:01:55.120
We're just getting older. Older and older. Chip,

00:01:55.140 --> 00:01:58.359
chip, chip, chip away. Thanks, Chuck. Mr. Producer

00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:00.459
over there. What's up, guys? I'm Sean. I'm Paul.

00:02:00.620 --> 00:02:04.719
And I'm Jeff. And I need to get amped. I did

00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.079
a little extra pour, but it was really small.

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.879
Thinking it was going to work. I don't know.

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:13.259
Maybe it's work. Maybe it's tired. Did you have

00:02:13.259 --> 00:02:15.300
to go to the office today? I did. You said Tuesdays

00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:17.120
and Wednesdays are your office days? Tuesdays

00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:22.439
and Wednesdays are the office day. We transferred

00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.539
from a rather large, large office. Everyone had

00:02:25.539 --> 00:02:27.479
their own door. You could close it, and it was

00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:29.680
excellent. Now it's like, all right, well, we

00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:33.159
have like six offices and some cubicles all lined

00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:36.560
up. Well, dude, I am like the poster child for

00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:41.050
ADD. I... cannot function in a cubicle actually

00:02:41.050 --> 00:02:43.810
let me rephrase that i cannot function when there's

00:02:43.810 --> 00:02:47.009
stimuli around distractions yeah period you know

00:02:47.009 --> 00:02:50.569
it just i i can't and so you know when i so i've

00:02:50.569 --> 00:02:54.770
tried to uh commandeer one of the offices so

00:02:54.770 --> 00:02:59.120
i have i've taken a nameplate And put my name

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:01.500
on there. I set it on the desk. You've claimed

00:03:01.500 --> 00:03:04.139
it. You pee all over the room. And now I brought

00:03:04.139 --> 00:03:08.139
in a Star Wars Darth Vader picture today. I was

00:03:08.139 --> 00:03:09.719
going to ask you to see if we can't print up

00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:13.080
a couple of... A couple Star Wars things I could

00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.740
take and just put on the wall. Anything. I've

00:03:15.740 --> 00:03:19.280
got Boba Fett downstairs you could take. I would

00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.120
like some Dudes Like Us stuff put up there. I'll

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:22.740
decorate the shit out of the whole office with

00:03:22.740 --> 00:03:24.340
Dudes Like Us stuff. You know some regional director

00:03:24.340 --> 00:03:25.740
is going to come in one day and you're going

00:03:25.740 --> 00:03:27.659
to come into the office and all your shit's going

00:03:27.659 --> 00:03:30.319
to be piled up in the hallway and he's going

00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.259
to be... I think what you should do is get those

00:03:32.259 --> 00:03:35.759
blinders horses wear so you're at the desk just

00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.889
like this. That would be super effective. Maybe

00:03:38.889 --> 00:03:42.710
I could put those noise -canceling headphones

00:03:42.710 --> 00:03:45.629
on. I wore headphones at work all the time, noise

00:03:45.629 --> 00:03:47.069
-canceling. Like, Jeff, do you have a second?

00:03:48.310 --> 00:03:50.689
Yeah, we didn't even have cubes. It was a complete

00:03:50.689 --> 00:03:54.090
100 % open concept. So you're at a desk, and

00:03:54.090 --> 00:03:56.830
you're staring at 15 people, and they're all

00:03:56.830 --> 00:04:00.389
having conversations and talking. So I wore...

00:04:00.569 --> 00:04:02.689
noise -canceling headphones all day and listen

00:04:02.689 --> 00:04:04.289
to radio, unless I needed to talk to somebody

00:04:04.289 --> 00:04:05.490
or have a phone call. You didn't even have cubes.

00:04:05.509 --> 00:04:08.289
You had bullpens. Correct. You know the problem

00:04:08.289 --> 00:04:10.349
with that, for me, personally, because I'm a

00:04:10.349 --> 00:04:15.650
barnyard animal, is I fart. You fart and snort

00:04:15.650 --> 00:04:19.110
and giggle. There were a couple times where I

00:04:19.110 --> 00:04:26.290
got stuck in the cube area. I had gas, and I

00:04:26.290 --> 00:04:28.509
was holding it in, and it got to the point where

00:04:28.509 --> 00:04:31.129
it made me uncomfortable. You know where a lot

00:04:31.129 --> 00:04:32.910
of people go for that kind of stuff? You know

00:04:32.910 --> 00:04:35.230
what? I tried. I got up. I went to the bathroom

00:04:35.230 --> 00:04:37.850
to expel, but your body's an asshole. Yeah, it

00:04:37.850 --> 00:04:40.069
goes up, going back inside. Yeah, isn't that

00:04:40.069 --> 00:04:42.170
interesting? It's like now you couldn't at all.

00:04:42.290 --> 00:04:44.529
And you're standing there trying to push it out.

00:04:44.589 --> 00:04:46.490
Oh, yeah. Did you do jumping jacks in the bathroom?

00:04:46.769 --> 00:04:50.230
Oh, like somersaults, like high knees, just break

00:04:50.230 --> 00:04:52.449
dancing. Yeah, there's lots of things you can

00:04:52.449 --> 00:04:55.149
do. I handstanded all the way to the bathroom.

00:04:56.779 --> 00:04:59.420
Handstand. Well, you know, I walked on my hands.

00:04:59.620 --> 00:05:02.379
That helps you fart. But it's a carpeted hallway.

00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.439
But when you get to the bathroom, it's all moist

00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:07.300
and my hands start to slip in, you know? Nice.

00:05:07.860 --> 00:05:09.560
You need to take your trampoline to work. And

00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:11.579
you take it into the bathroom and get it all

00:05:11.579 --> 00:05:13.699
out. I may get another trampoline and pop it

00:05:13.699 --> 00:05:16.579
in there. There you go. But anyway, so I'm trying

00:05:16.579 --> 00:05:21.079
to, you know, this morning, sometimes I take

00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.180
one of my kids to work in the morning. You know,

00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:27.540
they like to ride their bicycle. And when it's

00:05:27.540 --> 00:05:28.980
super cold or something like that, they're just

00:05:28.980 --> 00:05:30.740
like, Dad, can you please take me? And so she

00:05:30.740 --> 00:05:32.439
was like this morning or last night, she was

00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:34.379
like, Dad, it's going to be like really cold

00:05:34.379 --> 00:05:35.680
tomorrow. Can you take me? So I was like, yeah,

00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:37.699
sure. I never had a problem with that. But for

00:05:37.699 --> 00:05:39.920
some reason, the last couple of times I had to

00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.660
take her, it's just like I have this internal

00:05:42.660 --> 00:05:45.740
clock, which has never happened before in my

00:05:45.740 --> 00:05:47.620
entire life. But I have an internal clock and

00:05:47.620 --> 00:05:49.019
it was kind of like waking me up in the middle

00:05:49.019 --> 00:05:50.699
of the night. Oh, I need to go now. Oh, I need

00:05:50.699 --> 00:05:52.399
to go now. Oh, I need to go now. I don't want

00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:53.850
to be late. I don't want to be late. Oh, my God.

00:05:53.910 --> 00:05:55.769
I went to bed. Look, I go to bed at midnight.

00:05:56.370 --> 00:05:58.129
That's, you know, every night at midnight. Last

00:05:58.129 --> 00:06:01.470
night, I went to bed at 11 p .m. You know, because

00:06:01.470 --> 00:06:03.089
I was just like, you know, I'm just tired. I

00:06:03.089 --> 00:06:04.910
just want to go to bed. You know, I wasn't gaming.

00:06:05.149 --> 00:06:07.189
I was just like, you know, I had a long day at

00:06:07.189 --> 00:06:09.069
work. Well, yesterday, I had to take CE classes,

00:06:09.269 --> 00:06:11.500
which is a whole different animal. You know,

00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:13.819
it's just like you take these courses and there's

00:06:13.819 --> 00:06:17.120
literally a five -hour course. It's good for

00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:19.519
six hours, but you have to sit at, it's one of

00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:21.000
those ones where you have to sit at your desk

00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:24.800
for at least five hours. Yes. And because I was

00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:28.899
at like four hours and 56 minutes, okay? I didn't

00:06:28.899 --> 00:06:30.959
understand what was going on because I was like,

00:06:31.019 --> 00:06:34.839
the completion said 99%. And I'm like, wait a

00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:38.899
minute. I'm clearly done with the test. And it

00:06:38.899 --> 00:06:41.600
was at 99%. So I started panicking. And I'm like,

00:06:41.660 --> 00:06:44.540
what's going on? I started going back, and then

00:06:44.540 --> 00:06:47.300
I started thinking, five hours? Oh, my God, there's

00:06:47.300 --> 00:06:49.300
a limit of five hours. I only have five hours

00:06:49.300 --> 00:06:51.420
to complete this. Son of a bitch. And so I called

00:06:51.420 --> 00:06:54.980
the phone number up, the 1 -800 number, and it's

00:06:54.980 --> 00:06:57.980
like 445 or something like that. I saw him like,

00:06:58.079 --> 00:06:59.379
oh, my God, these guys aren't going to answer.

00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.660
They answered. They answered. They're located

00:07:02.660 --> 00:07:05.040
in Plano, Texas. They were really nice. They

00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:06.500
were just like, yeah, I'm looking at your screen

00:07:06.500 --> 00:07:08.839
right now. It's just all you have to do is wait

00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:11.680
five hours. And I was like, oh, so time's out

00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:13.759
after five. I'm not going to be delinquent. So

00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.779
it all worked out. But I had that very uncomfortable

00:07:16.779 --> 00:07:20.019
feeling that I just wasted half a day doing this.

00:07:20.300 --> 00:07:22.100
And then as soon as I was done with that, I started

00:07:22.100 --> 00:07:23.699
another one with another five -hour stretch.

00:07:23.980 --> 00:07:26.220
This is your required training. Yeah. I don't

00:07:26.220 --> 00:07:27.959
think it's required. It's just additional training

00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:29.139
that you want, right? No, it's required. Oh,

00:07:29.139 --> 00:07:32.040
it's required. To maintain my license. Yeah,

00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:35.339
I just push play, and then I work, and it's on

00:07:35.339 --> 00:07:37.160
one monitor doing its own thing. You take the

00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:39.120
test. And then I take the test, and I fail it,

00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:41.560
and then I take it again, and I remember what

00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:42.860
the ends are. Get a little closer. And I get

00:07:42.860 --> 00:07:46.000
100. Yeah, totally. And mine are probably not

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.860
that serious compared to, I guess, what you guys

00:07:48.860 --> 00:07:51.000
are doing. And then sometimes I just drag the

00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:53.379
bar over. Some of them won't let you do that,

00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.720
but I just drag it to the end. These classes

00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:58.620
are just kind of a pain in the butt, man. Oh,

00:07:58.620 --> 00:08:00.160
yeah, totally. But when I started on the second

00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.040
one, I was kind of like, all right, look, it's

00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:03.959
5 o 'clock. All right, this is going to be five

00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:05.579
hours, so I'm going to be doing this until, what,

00:08:05.660 --> 00:08:07.879
9, 10 o 'clock. So I was like, I'm going to be

00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:10.139
done with this in two, three hours. I went ahead

00:08:10.139 --> 00:08:12.649
and went for my walk. So, you know, I popped

00:08:12.649 --> 00:08:15.189
in the news, got my headphones. I walked right

00:08:15.189 --> 00:08:16.970
by your house like, hi, Jeff. Just kept going

00:08:16.970 --> 00:08:19.449
and went around the corner, went all the way

00:08:19.449 --> 00:08:22.509
up to Coit and went to Shepherd's Hill, went

00:08:22.509 --> 00:08:25.129
into the elementary school, went around the track

00:08:25.129 --> 00:08:26.829
four times, and then I went back around your

00:08:26.829 --> 00:08:29.069
house. Hey, Jeff. And then just went right on

00:08:29.069 --> 00:08:31.550
home. And, man, that was about an hour and 15

00:08:31.550 --> 00:08:33.879
minutes. It was excellent. Perfect timing. And

00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:35.759
the training was going on the whole time? Yeah.

00:08:36.700 --> 00:08:40.740
Perfect. No, it was like a five -minute conversation.

00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:43.000
And you can forward through all these. You don't

00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:45.120
have to sit there and wait. You can forward through

00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:47.840
them all. But you still have to do your five

00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:51.460
hours. So after it played, the timer's still

00:08:51.460 --> 00:08:55.659
going, but it was just on pause. Right. So whatever.

00:08:56.259 --> 00:08:59.759
It worked out for me. That reminds me of one

00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.950
of my favorite Homer Simpson. Simpsons episodes

00:09:02.950 --> 00:09:05.909
where he works from home and he has to gain weight.

00:09:06.509 --> 00:09:09.110
You have to be over a certain weight to qualify

00:09:09.110 --> 00:09:11.029
for work from home. You remember that? So he

00:09:11.029 --> 00:09:14.370
eats like I'm just a machine and he thinks he's

00:09:14.370 --> 00:09:17.409
just barely gotten there but his whole stomach

00:09:17.409 --> 00:09:20.169
is up on the towel rack and then when it falls

00:09:20.169 --> 00:09:22.129
down he's like 50 pounds over what he needed

00:09:22.129 --> 00:09:24.389
to do and he has to start wearing muumuu's and

00:09:24.389 --> 00:09:26.509
he works from home for the first time. And remember

00:09:26.509 --> 00:09:28.830
he works for the power plant, the nuclear power

00:09:28.830 --> 00:09:32.080
plant. And so All the questions that it asks

00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:35.539
him, he figures out are all the Y, Y -E -S, you

00:09:35.539 --> 00:09:37.320
know what I mean, or just Y. Right. And so he

00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:40.899
buys a little, like a bobbing chicken. Those

00:09:40.899 --> 00:09:42.779
little bobbing birds. Yeah, it's a bobbing chicken.

00:09:42.820 --> 00:09:45.659
And so he just decides to go to movies, and he

00:09:45.659 --> 00:09:47.919
just lets the bobbing chicken answer all of his

00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:50.399
questions. Well, he's coming out of the movie

00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:52.840
theater or something, and it's melting down,

00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:55.960
like the radioactive. Yeah, it's like everything's

00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:57.940
falling apart. It's venting. Right. And he comes

00:09:57.940 --> 00:10:01.649
home, and the thing had fallen over. Anyway,

00:10:02.669 --> 00:10:05.429
it's so funny. He's wearing muumus. Well, I think

00:10:05.429 --> 00:10:08.590
that there is a subculture of people that work

00:10:08.590 --> 00:10:11.490
from home who do that, who game the system. And

00:10:11.490 --> 00:10:14.629
I think those folks have ruined it for a lot

00:10:14.629 --> 00:10:17.269
of folks who have the potential to work remote.

00:10:17.450 --> 00:10:23.090
And I think there's an expectation now to work

00:10:23.090 --> 00:10:27.230
remote as much as possible. During COVID, we

00:10:27.230 --> 00:10:28.990
did it, especially the new kids that are coming

00:10:28.990 --> 00:10:32.450
in. That's all they've done. So now they're like,

00:10:32.529 --> 00:10:37.950
yeah, I was reading a subreddit and she was pissed

00:10:37.950 --> 00:10:39.950
off that this new job that she was going to get

00:10:39.950 --> 00:10:42.409
requires five days in the office. Right. She's

00:10:42.409 --> 00:10:46.269
like, well, that's ridiculous and unfair and

00:10:46.269 --> 00:10:48.129
this and that. And I'm just like, no, it's not.

00:10:48.429 --> 00:10:50.970
No, it's not. It's not. Even occupational experts

00:10:50.970 --> 00:10:54.309
are saying this is catastrophic for the younger

00:10:54.309 --> 00:10:56.690
generation. Yes. Because they're not networking.

00:10:57.009 --> 00:10:59.600
They're not. Learning extra things just by being

00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:02.139
around people who have been around the block,

00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:04.980
like picking up knowledge, and they're not collaborating.

00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:08.759
They're doing minimal work, horrible work ethic,

00:11:08.899 --> 00:11:10.600
all that kind of stuff. Do you know they have

00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:14.200
mouse wigglers now? Yep. So they put their mouse

00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:16.919
on the thing that jiggles so that it keeps them

00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:18.899
constantly active. But now there's software that

00:11:18.899 --> 00:11:22.539
detects that. Yes. Yes. Yes. So it's like a game

00:11:22.539 --> 00:11:25.399
of chicken and cat and mouse, right? It's so

00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:27.039
dumb. So they have these jigglers. Well, now

00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:29.039
they've developed software to detect those jigglers

00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:30.779
because they actually - I don't like the way

00:11:30.779 --> 00:11:32.799
you say jigglers. It's very offensive. Jiggler.

00:11:33.220 --> 00:11:35.399
You're a jiggler? So now they actually - Yellow

00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.220
jiggler. I only want to have a clap. I'm just

00:11:37.220 --> 00:11:40.500
a jiggler. They actually - monitor where your

00:11:40.500 --> 00:11:43.000
mouse goes and what it actually clicks on to

00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:45.659
make sure you're actually doing something. So

00:11:45.659 --> 00:11:50.179
we draw at work and back in the day when I was

00:11:50.179 --> 00:11:52.179
first starting, we had this old guy next to us

00:11:52.179 --> 00:11:54.519
and he was drafting and he'd fall asleep, but

00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.940
he'd still be clicking all over the screen. So

00:11:56.940 --> 00:11:59.559
he would walk by and his screen would just be

00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:02.690
like. Random lines all over the screen. To make

00:12:02.690 --> 00:12:03.970
it look like he was still working? He looked

00:12:03.970 --> 00:12:06.509
like he was still working. Oh, God. Well, I did

00:12:06.509 --> 00:12:08.710
both. I think we've all done both. We've all

00:12:08.710 --> 00:12:11.490
gone into the office. The bulk of my time was

00:12:11.490 --> 00:12:15.730
in the office. Right. And, you know, it was what

00:12:15.730 --> 00:12:18.269
it was. You know, it was just that was the job.

00:12:18.509 --> 00:12:21.990
Yes. You never choice. There was no option. Well,

00:12:22.029 --> 00:12:23.970
I go in five days a week now. And I was full

00:12:23.970 --> 00:12:27.370
time from home for years. Yeah. And I was home

00:12:27.370 --> 00:12:33.519
before COVID hit. And I've said from the very

00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.440
beginning that I preferred going in. I didn't

00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.679
like to drive. I didn't like all that shit, but

00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.179
I got better work done in the office. There will

00:12:43.179 --> 00:12:44.700
be people that will argue that until they're

00:12:44.700 --> 00:12:46.440
dead. They're like, no, you get just as good.

00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:48.899
Maybe certain ones, like if you're a coder and

00:12:48.899 --> 00:12:51.379
all you're doing is coding all day, that may

00:12:51.379 --> 00:12:53.460
be one thing. And it depends what you're working

00:12:53.460 --> 00:12:55.919
on. Yeah. If you're working on a big group project,

00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:00.059
get together and collaborating. in person is

00:13:00.059 --> 00:13:03.700
a hell of a lot better than over Zoom, in my

00:13:03.700 --> 00:13:06.460
opinion. Even the fact we're all in the office.

00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:08.120
All of us are in the office, and when we have

00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:10.460
a team meeting, we're all in our cubes on Zoom.

00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.299
No, go in the other fucking room. Get a conference

00:13:13.299 --> 00:13:16.019
room. I know, it's crazy. Your boss. Well, I'm

00:13:16.019 --> 00:13:19.139
not the boss for these. But there is a conference

00:13:19.139 --> 00:13:22.879
room in ours. We don't have that dynamic in our

00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:25.919
office. Everything we do isn't team -oriented.

00:13:26.429 --> 00:13:29.110
We're kind of independent. But I think there's

00:13:29.110 --> 00:13:31.950
still opportunity for you to learn from other

00:13:31.950 --> 00:13:34.990
folks. Sure. Like when you first started, Larry

00:13:34.990 --> 00:13:37.350
was there. I agree with you, but not me, but

00:13:37.350 --> 00:13:39.570
I'm thinking other people can learn from me.

00:13:39.629 --> 00:13:41.690
So I'm not necessarily throwing stones at that,

00:13:41.769 --> 00:13:44.350
but there comes a certain point where I think

00:13:44.350 --> 00:13:47.769
that I kind of graduated from that program, and

00:13:47.769 --> 00:13:51.149
I could be on my own. I could fly away now. But

00:13:51.149 --> 00:13:53.570
there's new people that need the help. So I'm

00:13:53.570 --> 00:13:56.159
thinking, all right, hey, look. Mr. People, I

00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:59.019
think maybe they should offer a program. Hey,

00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:00.539
guys, look, if you want to work at home, you

00:14:00.539 --> 00:14:01.860
get paid this much. If you want to come to the

00:14:01.860 --> 00:14:03.759
office, you get paid this much. At least give

00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:05.620
them an opportunity. I disagree with that as

00:14:05.620 --> 00:14:07.539
well because people are complaining, well, they

00:14:07.539 --> 00:14:09.740
should start paying for my gas then. Right. And

00:14:09.740 --> 00:14:12.419
tolls. And the child care. Wearing tear on the

00:14:12.419 --> 00:14:16.779
car. Yeah. No. Right. He took the job. It pays

00:14:16.779 --> 00:14:19.940
this. Yeah, you're getting paid to do this job.

00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:21.440
Yeah, you're not getting paid more because you

00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:23.539
have to drive to the office. Yeah, it's created

00:14:23.539 --> 00:14:26.620
a whole new level of entitlement. But the training

00:14:26.620 --> 00:14:28.960
point, it takes time out of your day to do that.

00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:30.600
It does. It's not really germane to your job.

00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:32.899
So, I mean, my job isn't to train people. My

00:14:32.899 --> 00:14:36.580
job is to do my job. Yours is a little unique.

00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:40.700
Yours is a little unique, right, in that regard.

00:14:40.740 --> 00:14:42.419
And I think, like I said, I think there's some

00:14:42.419 --> 00:14:45.860
jobs that could. be fine working at home right

00:14:45.860 --> 00:14:47.559
i think sean's is probably one of them yeah probably

00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:51.419
um outside of the training thing and i mean they

00:14:51.419 --> 00:14:53.200
want you to probably mentor someone or yeah and

00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:54.759
i don't mind doing that but you know be up front

00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:56.480
with me just say hey look we want you to come

00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:57.840
in the office a couple times a week to mentor

00:14:57.840 --> 00:14:59.980
people i'm like all right cool why don't you

00:14:59.980 --> 00:15:02.019
pay me more but they didn't give you that give

00:15:02.019 --> 00:15:03.440
you that no well no one knows they're not going

00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:06.389
to say that They won't pay you more either. At

00:15:06.389 --> 00:15:08.389
least any business I was ever in, they're just

00:15:08.389 --> 00:15:12.029
like, this is now part of your job. Yeah, but

00:15:12.029 --> 00:15:15.149
the problem with that, with me, or maybe with

00:15:15.149 --> 00:15:18.549
other jobs like mine, is that my job is salary,

00:15:18.730 --> 00:15:22.929
but it's also based on billable hours. What they

00:15:22.929 --> 00:15:26.610
should do is allow, if you're in there for four

00:15:26.610 --> 00:15:29.210
hours, okay, that doesn't, I don't know how they

00:15:29.210 --> 00:15:30.710
would do it. Drop your expectation for billable

00:15:30.710 --> 00:15:33.139
hours by four hours. Correct. But they don't.

00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:38.500
Well, they don't, no. But also, my bonus is based

00:15:38.500 --> 00:15:41.139
on billable hours. Right. So if I'm going to

00:15:41.139 --> 00:15:43.480
be available for people... Yeah, they would have

00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:45.159
to include your training hours in that calculation.

00:15:45.379 --> 00:15:47.759
It sounds kind of shitty because I benefited

00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:51.600
from that. So I can't deny that it's not worth

00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:54.360
it. And today, I was actually productive. uh

00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:57.879
in my office but you know i'm very i'm dude i'm

00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:00.299
sean i'm i've got a different mindset i got a

00:16:00.299 --> 00:16:02.580
different brain you know when i go in there i

00:16:02.580 --> 00:16:05.759
turn the lights off i've got an under the counter

00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:08.860
under desk lights very low lighting very warm

00:16:08.860 --> 00:16:11.799
lights you know and i have to announce that because

00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:14.120
you know you walk into the office it's this 5000

00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:17.139
kelvin kelvin hospital light You know, that's

00:16:17.139 --> 00:16:20.000
just kind of like very clinical. And it's just

00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:22.659
like, I don't, that stuff bothers me. I have

00:16:22.659 --> 00:16:25.960
a hard time concentrating. And, you know, that's

00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:28.799
just me. And maybe I could get over it, you know,

00:16:28.820 --> 00:16:32.460
but. In our situation, we just had to. I mean,

00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:34.519
that's what we were told to do. And we did it.

00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:36.639
And you know what? I probably would. If they

00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:39.080
were to come to me like, dude, you need to shut

00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:41.440
the fuck up and work. Right. I'd be like, or

00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:44.320
you can just go home and this will be your last

00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:47.679
check. Yeah. Find somewhere else to work where

00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:49.379
you can work from home. I like working in a cubicle

00:16:49.379 --> 00:16:54.340
now. I can do things now. It's a tough love thing,

00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:58.019
but I get it. But you know what? At least I only

00:16:58.019 --> 00:17:00.379
have to go two days a week. And today was productive.

00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:04.920
Again, as long as I have an area where I can

00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:07.480
sit and chill. And I don't want to say sit and

00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:09.559
chill because that's not what I do. But I just

00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:11.920
have to have an area where I can like fart. What

00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:13.440
if you went in there and someone was already

00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:16.160
in your office working? That happens. That happens.

00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:20.099
Because technically it's not my office. You're

00:17:20.099 --> 00:17:22.339
like, can you see the name tag? Can you see all

00:17:22.339 --> 00:17:25.319
the Star Wars stuff? It's clearly my office,

00:17:25.380 --> 00:17:28.220
bro. The Dallas office manager already said,

00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:32.259
if I want that office, it's mine. Nice. That's

00:17:32.259 --> 00:17:36.640
what he said. Wow. Well, I just haven't officially

00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:39.359
said it. You know what? I don't care. Everybody

00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:40.819
else is like, I don't get an office. How come

00:17:40.819 --> 00:17:43.160
Sean gets an office? What an asshole. Because

00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:46.559
I'm seniority. Like I was saying, I just need

00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:51.500
the time I spend in that little office. So you

00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:53.220
could smell your own farts. Yes. And you know

00:17:53.220 --> 00:17:56.279
what? Whatever. Be in your own stench. Because

00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:58.839
only you like your own stench. It's immature.

00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:03.279
I get it. I recognize it. I own it. Yeah. I'm

00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:05.740
a stinky boy. Anyways. All right. Let's move

00:18:05.740 --> 00:18:09.140
on. You guys mentioned something about Miracle

00:18:09.140 --> 00:18:11.279
Flights on one of the conversations. It's been

00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:14.390
on the board for a while. I forgot what the hell

00:18:14.390 --> 00:18:15.589
that was all about. Well, it's people taking

00:18:15.589 --> 00:18:17.589
advantage of the system is what it is. Right.

00:18:17.670 --> 00:18:20.549
Lazy assholes. So what they said, it was jetway

00:18:20.549 --> 00:18:24.509
Jesuses and miracle flights. So basically, it's

00:18:24.509 --> 00:18:27.970
people who insist on having a wheelchair to board.

00:18:28.190 --> 00:18:30.650
Oh, that's right. And they get pre -boarding,

00:18:30.950 --> 00:18:34.349
right? But as soon as they get off the flight,

00:18:34.509 --> 00:18:36.329
they don't need the wheelchair anymore, and they're

00:18:36.329 --> 00:18:37.730
walking down the jetway, and they're healed.

00:18:37.910 --> 00:18:40.279
They're cured. It's a miracle. It's people that

00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:43.880
take advantage of, like I said, the system. The

00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:46.359
same thing happens. I know you've never been

00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:48.940
to Disney World, but Six Flags, I'm sure, is

00:18:48.940 --> 00:18:50.480
the same way. You can see these people in the

00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:54.579
stupid. Scooters. Yeah. And what it is. And they

00:18:54.579 --> 00:18:56.079
go right to the front of the line. And they get

00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:58.119
to go to the front because they're handicapped

00:18:58.119 --> 00:18:59.819
or whatever reason. And then they spring off

00:18:59.819 --> 00:19:02.819
the scooter and jump into the ride. Yes. Oh,

00:19:02.859 --> 00:19:05.480
my God. And it's ridiculous. It reminds me of

00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:08.220
the episode from Philadelphia. It's Always Sunny

00:19:08.220 --> 00:19:11.430
in Philadelphia. Danny DeVito. They're at a water

00:19:11.430 --> 00:19:16.309
park with Charlie. Danny's walking around. He's

00:19:16.309 --> 00:19:18.490
like, I'm handicapped. They're cutting all through

00:19:18.490 --> 00:19:20.569
the line. He's like, I have AIDS. I have AIDS.

00:19:22.710 --> 00:19:24.710
People are looking at him like, what? He's like,

00:19:24.789 --> 00:19:27.230
I have AIDS. Danny's over the top. Then he went

00:19:27.230 --> 00:19:30.210
down and got cut up and he was bleeding everywhere.

00:19:30.650 --> 00:19:32.930
Hold on. Let's give a little context to that.

00:19:33.190 --> 00:19:35.589
Charlie and Danny and what's his name? Frank.

00:19:35.769 --> 00:19:38.220
No, is it Frank? Yeah, Charlie and Frank are

00:19:38.220 --> 00:19:41.460
going through the water park, and there's a new

00:19:41.460 --> 00:19:43.480
ride that's about to open, but it's not quite

00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:45.480
open yet. And Charlie's kind of like, ah, fuck

00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:47.259
it. He's got the high voice. We can go in there

00:19:47.259 --> 00:19:49.880
anyways. We can check it out. Fuck those guys,

00:19:50.019 --> 00:19:51.839
Charlie. We can go in there and do this. We don't

00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:54.359
need their permission. It's open, right? So they

00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:55.839
climb all the way to the top, and it's ready

00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:59.319
to roll, but there's no water on there. So there's

00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:03.079
no... Lubricant. Lubricant. To ease the friction.

00:20:03.180 --> 00:20:06.720
So you see Danny coming down the slide and you

00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:11.319
hear this. And you see him, he's like, oh, oh,

00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:14.019
oh. And he lands in the water. There's like a

00:20:14.019 --> 00:20:17.660
pool of blood that's kind of like forming everywhere.

00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:20.579
And the kids are like, oh, what is that? Is that

00:20:20.579 --> 00:20:22.980
blood? And Frank comes out of the water, Danny

00:20:22.980 --> 00:20:24.900
DeVito. And they're like, oh, my God, that's

00:20:24.900 --> 00:20:26.640
the dude that has AIDS. Everybody out of the

00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:31.599
water. Oh, my God. Yes. It's always sunny in

00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:33.599
Philadelphia. I freaking love that show. Yeah,

00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:35.299
I need to pick it back up. I struggled with the

00:20:35.299 --> 00:20:39.299
first season. but I want to resume it because

00:20:39.299 --> 00:20:41.799
I think it got better as it went along. Yeah,

00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:43.980
I think I watched maybe an episode, but yeah,

00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:45.079
maybe that's something I need to pick up as well.

00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:47.400
It is tough. I'm telling you, when I first watched

00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:48.960
it, I was kind of like, what the heck is this?

00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:52.900
It had a slow start, huh? It did. The first season,

00:20:53.019 --> 00:20:56.200
it was like a little camcorder almost. It's exactly

00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:59.079
right, man. They took something and just made

00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:01.440
it fun. They're kind of like South Park where

00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:04.390
they did everything. They dropped the N -word.

00:21:04.410 --> 00:21:06.569
Yeah, no, nothing was off limits. They were just

00:21:06.569 --> 00:21:08.869
like, come on, man. We're equal opportunists,

00:21:08.890 --> 00:21:10.430
man. We're just going to go after everybody on

00:21:10.430 --> 00:21:14.250
there. Yeah. But these Miracle Flights or Gateway

00:21:14.250 --> 00:21:16.069
Jesus or whatever you call it really, really

00:21:16.069 --> 00:21:19.329
bugs me. Really grinds your gears? It does, because

00:21:19.329 --> 00:21:23.630
when I brought my dad here, he had a legitimate

00:21:23.630 --> 00:21:27.450
reason to be in a wheelchair. For sure. As did

00:21:27.450 --> 00:21:29.950
my parents, yeah. And he was behind, I don't

00:21:29.950 --> 00:21:32.609
know, six, seven people. All in wheelchairs?

00:21:32.789 --> 00:21:36.009
Yeah. Well, yes. Wow. And they all looked fine.

00:21:36.230 --> 00:21:38.690
Well, not all of them, but a couple of them did.

00:21:38.849 --> 00:21:40.750
Did you walk up and down and go, what's wrong

00:21:40.750 --> 00:21:42.650
with you? I did. What's wrong with you? What

00:21:42.650 --> 00:21:46.089
ails you, sir? I was like, I'm paralyzed. Okay.

00:21:46.130 --> 00:21:48.829
You're good then. Excuse me, sir. Can you hand

00:21:48.829 --> 00:21:50.289
me that bottle opener so I can open this beer?

00:21:50.490 --> 00:21:53.369
But that bugs me for that reason alone. It's

00:21:53.369 --> 00:21:55.369
not like I did a lot with my dad, but that one

00:21:55.369 --> 00:21:57.549
time it kind of bugged. And I noticed folks.

00:21:58.280 --> 00:22:00.440
Taking advantage of it. Doing it then. So, I

00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:02.440
mean, is it any different than the handicap signs

00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:07.900
at the gym or grocery stores? Let's back up a

00:22:07.900 --> 00:22:09.740
little bit. So the Miracle Flight, the people

00:22:09.740 --> 00:22:12.359
are faking an ailment so they can get on the

00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:14.500
flight first. Is this like preferred seating?

00:22:15.099 --> 00:22:16.819
Or first come, first serve? They just want to

00:22:16.819 --> 00:22:18.460
get assigned so they can put their bag up top.

00:22:19.369 --> 00:22:21.069
Yeah, their boarding group, like on Southwest,

00:22:21.390 --> 00:22:24.049
their boarding group will be before the A -list.

00:22:24.130 --> 00:22:25.930
Everybody else, yeah. They get to go get on the

00:22:25.930 --> 00:22:27.470
plane first. The whole thing about getting on

00:22:27.470 --> 00:22:30.750
a plane these days is luggage space above. Right.

00:22:30.829 --> 00:22:33.809
Everybody tries to get on as early as they can

00:22:33.809 --> 00:22:35.390
to make sure they have space for their carry

00:22:35.390 --> 00:22:39.990
-on. Right. And they have these people who, what

00:22:39.990 --> 00:22:43.150
do they call them, gate leeches or something

00:22:43.150 --> 00:22:48.009
like that, who will try to get on earlier. Because

00:22:48.009 --> 00:22:49.890
you have these groups, one through nine typically,

00:22:50.089 --> 00:22:52.150
right? Yeah, right. And you have these people

00:22:52.150 --> 00:22:53.769
that are in group seven, eight, nine who will

00:22:53.769 --> 00:22:56.410
try to sneak up into group three and four. Well,

00:22:56.410 --> 00:22:58.269
the airlines have finally - Yeah, it beeps at

00:22:58.269 --> 00:23:00.150
them. Well, the airlines have finally put a stop

00:23:00.150 --> 00:23:03.589
to it, at least some of them have, where it goes

00:23:03.589 --> 00:23:06.029
beep and it calls them out. Before it never did

00:23:06.029 --> 00:23:07.750
that. And they'll say, no, this is not your group.

00:23:07.789 --> 00:23:09.349
Go to the back of the line. Yeah, American does

00:23:09.349 --> 00:23:11.470
that. Every flight, somebody gets sent back.

00:23:11.609 --> 00:23:13.609
They have to do the walk of shame. Oh, yeah.

00:23:13.670 --> 00:23:15.349
That's beautiful. That's beautiful. Yeah, it

00:23:15.349 --> 00:23:20.099
is. Shame. Shame. I've never had to deal with

00:23:20.099 --> 00:23:21.779
that. I usually get in line where I'm supposed

00:23:21.779 --> 00:23:23.480
to be. Oh, yeah, you do, too. I follow the rules.

00:23:23.700 --> 00:23:25.819
Me, too. I was like, what the heck? I mean, I

00:23:25.819 --> 00:23:27.819
don't get it. With the exception of Southwest,

00:23:28.220 --> 00:23:30.339
you have assigned seats anyway, so everything

00:23:30.339 --> 00:23:32.920
boils down to not having your bag be checked.

00:23:33.140 --> 00:23:35.740
Well, it's also these people who bring these

00:23:35.740 --> 00:23:40.299
ridiculous bags onto the flight, and they'll

00:23:40.299 --> 00:23:42.160
have their luggage, and they'll have this huge

00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:45.000
shopping bag that they'll stick up there or something

00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:46.279
like that, even though you're supposed to put

00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:48.680
it down underneath your feet. Folks don't. The

00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:50.299
next thing you know, all the luggage shits is,

00:23:50.420 --> 00:23:52.759
I'll check my bag at the gate. I have no problem

00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:56.640
with that. I come in and I've got satchels around

00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:01.599
my jacket. I'm loaded. I look like the Pillsbury

00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:05.220
Doughboy. I can go in there, people are like,

00:24:05.259 --> 00:24:09.000
oh my God, this is happening. I don't recommend

00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:12.900
you do that. I don't think that would end well.

00:24:13.299 --> 00:24:16.660
You get to the handicap parking. What's hard

00:24:16.660 --> 00:24:20.960
is Someone could look extremely healthy, and

00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:22.400
you're thinking, why do they have a handicap?

00:24:22.579 --> 00:24:24.160
Well, it may be legitimate. They give handicap

00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:27.420
parking for heart reasons. Oh, yeah. Right? So

00:24:27.420 --> 00:24:29.779
you could have a heart problem, but you could

00:24:29.779 --> 00:24:31.640
look completely healthy, and you walk just fine

00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:33.160
and everything, and you're thinking, well, why

00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:36.039
the fuck do they have a handicap spot? Right.

00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:39.019
Kim has that, so not heart problems, but she

00:24:39.019 --> 00:24:42.299
has a handicap placard, and I only use it when

00:24:42.299 --> 00:24:44.339
she's around. I'm like, hey, do you want to park

00:24:44.339 --> 00:24:48.150
up front, or do you feel okay to? Right, to walk.

00:24:48.329 --> 00:24:50.269
Yeah, you don't want to walk across an entire

00:24:50.269 --> 00:24:52.190
parking lot. It's always up front, but it's always

00:24:52.190 --> 00:24:56.049
in my truck. Available to use. So we can use

00:24:56.049 --> 00:24:58.029
it whenever you drive to happy hours. Yeah, or

00:24:58.029 --> 00:25:00.950
if we go to the Cowboy Stadium. Perfect. Front

00:25:00.950 --> 00:25:02.650
row, baby. So you're part of the Miracle Flight?

00:25:02.829 --> 00:25:05.809
Yes. Yeah, Miracle Drive. Miracle Walk. I can't

00:25:05.809 --> 00:25:07.490
say we're not guilty of that. So it's hard to

00:25:07.490 --> 00:25:09.750
call people out. Oh, yeah, you don't want to

00:25:09.750 --> 00:25:11.470
do that. You don't want to, unless you know for

00:25:11.470 --> 00:25:13.609
a fact that. There's nothing wrong with them.

00:25:13.670 --> 00:25:14.789
I don't know how you know it unless you actually

00:25:14.789 --> 00:25:16.470
know them. It's tough to know. But sometimes,

00:25:16.589 --> 00:25:19.130
though, I'll be at the gym. It'll be early playing

00:25:19.130 --> 00:25:20.769
basketball or whatever, and I'll see somebody

00:25:20.769 --> 00:25:24.609
zoom up and back into the handicap spot. Do they

00:25:24.609 --> 00:25:26.970
have the placard? Yeah, to work out in the gym.

00:25:27.049 --> 00:25:30.650
And they've got the placard, and they look fit.

00:25:30.690 --> 00:25:33.809
They're wearing tight gym clothes. There's no

00:25:33.809 --> 00:25:37.069
limping. There's no cane. There's no walker.

00:25:37.089 --> 00:25:40.410
There's no nothing. And they walk their way right

00:25:40.410 --> 00:25:43.210
up into the gym. That's cool. No, I'm not going

00:25:43.210 --> 00:25:46.470
to do that, but I'm just thinking, really? I

00:25:46.470 --> 00:25:48.190
think I would call the non -emergency number

00:25:48.190 --> 00:25:50.589
for the local police department, and I'd be like,

00:25:50.630 --> 00:25:53.869
hey, look. Sometimes these guys need to be called

00:25:53.869 --> 00:25:55.950
out. Now, am I a Karen because I do that? It's

00:25:55.950 --> 00:25:58.190
not worth it. Yeah, okay, but am I a Karen for

00:25:58.190 --> 00:26:01.690
doing that? You're a Jessica now. I don't know

00:26:01.690 --> 00:26:06.430
if I would ever do that, but it's... I never

00:26:06.430 --> 00:26:08.710
would, because you never know. You never know.

00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:10.779
Yeah, they might have a situation where they

00:26:10.779 --> 00:26:13.859
have narcolepsy. Or whatever. They're walking

00:26:13.859 --> 00:26:15.519
into the gym and they fall over on the ground,

00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:18.700
right? Yeah. There's assholes for doing it. There's

00:26:18.700 --> 00:26:22.460
definitely some assholes. I went to, I was somewhere,

00:26:22.619 --> 00:26:26.279
a Kroger or something. And some guy gets out

00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:29.059
of his car. And he was a black guy. And it was

00:26:29.059 --> 00:26:31.940
in a Chrysler 300. And he gets out of the car

00:26:31.940 --> 00:26:35.420
and he's looking perfectly fine. And I looked

00:26:35.420 --> 00:26:37.819
at him, and he looked at me and says, I get it.

00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:40.799
I know. I know. He's like, but I assure you,

00:26:40.819 --> 00:26:42.859
I can't walk from all the way over there. I can

00:26:42.859 --> 00:26:45.200
make it from here to the store. But once I get

00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:47.619
there. Your look made him feel guilty. Yeah.

00:26:47.700 --> 00:26:50.440
Wow. And you didn't say a word? I didn't say

00:26:50.440 --> 00:26:52.160
a word. Did you stand there with your arms crossed

00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:55.380
in the middle? No, I just looked at him. Shame!

00:26:55.680 --> 00:27:00.660
Shame! Oh, my God. You walk fine, mister! Did

00:27:00.660 --> 00:27:04.339
he get in a cart? No, no, he didn't. But, you

00:27:04.339 --> 00:27:07.160
know, whatever. But he made a point to say something,

00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:09.579
and I was just kind of like, I don't care. It's

00:27:09.579 --> 00:27:12.569
your own consciousness telling you. that something

00:27:12.569 --> 00:27:15.210
is wrong here. I think what I'll do is, if I

00:27:15.210 --> 00:27:17.009
have that situation where somebody has a tag

00:27:17.009 --> 00:27:18.549
and I use it and I get out of the car and people

00:27:18.549 --> 00:27:20.789
look at me, I'll immediately drop to the ground

00:27:20.789 --> 00:27:23.309
and start crawling into the... I could take two

00:27:23.309 --> 00:27:25.789
steps and I'd crawl. And I'll be like, help me,

00:27:25.829 --> 00:27:29.750
help me, help me. Happens to work at Troy. Pick

00:27:29.750 --> 00:27:33.309
him up, will ya? I think another thing that I

00:27:33.309 --> 00:27:35.750
find kind of, I don't know if it's funny, but

00:27:35.750 --> 00:27:38.710
I notice when I go to the gym, I park out because

00:27:38.710 --> 00:27:40.410
there's not very many spots, but I'll see cars.

00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:42.099
Going up and down the aisles looking for the

00:27:42.099 --> 00:27:44.119
close spot. I'm thinking, you're going to the

00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:47.500
gym to work out. You can't walk another 30 feet

00:27:47.500 --> 00:27:50.119
to get to the gym. Why don't you add 80 more

00:27:50.119 --> 00:27:53.980
steps to your step tracker? It's your warm -up

00:27:53.980 --> 00:27:56.400
before you go into the gym. People are weird

00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:59.000
about parking. Just parking in general. I see

00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:01.900
people willing to sit there and wait for like...

00:28:02.730 --> 00:28:04.769
Probably minutes, which is a long time. And you

00:28:04.769 --> 00:28:06.109
go park out and you walk by and you look at them.

00:28:06.170 --> 00:28:07.569
Yeah, I do. And they're still sitting there.

00:28:07.650 --> 00:28:09.829
Yes. And somebody's slowly, it'd be like a little

00:28:09.829 --> 00:28:11.789
old lady putting her groceries into the back

00:28:11.789 --> 00:28:13.329
of the car. And they're just sitting there waiting

00:28:13.329 --> 00:28:15.289
with their blinker on. And there's spots like,

00:28:15.329 --> 00:28:17.609
you know, not that, like what, probably 40 feet

00:28:17.609 --> 00:28:19.910
away? Yep. But in general, people are kind of

00:28:19.910 --> 00:28:21.369
weird about parking. People are weird. I mean,

00:28:21.390 --> 00:28:24.130
like when I go to work, you know, I'm very, I

00:28:24.130 --> 00:28:26.609
love, people are creatures of habit. So, you

00:28:26.609 --> 00:28:28.710
know, I love to go to the same park. My parking

00:28:28.710 --> 00:28:30.670
spot that I pick out where I'm at work is not

00:28:30.670 --> 00:28:33.069
even close. To the door. It's around the freaking

00:28:33.069 --> 00:28:35.410
corner. I have to walk twice as far. But I don't

00:28:35.410 --> 00:28:37.710
care. It's a nice, relaxed spot. Nobody's there.

00:28:37.869 --> 00:28:40.009
No one's around the car. It's under a tree. It's

00:28:40.009 --> 00:28:42.430
nice and shaded. Nice. Yeah, that works. Yeah,

00:28:42.430 --> 00:28:44.789
that's what I do. And I drive that big truck,

00:28:44.849 --> 00:28:47.049
so I'm just used to, I can't park close. I'm

00:28:47.049 --> 00:28:50.430
going to be out in North Dallas 40. So I park

00:28:50.430 --> 00:28:52.690
out far. I'm just like, I need the exercise.

00:28:53.029 --> 00:28:54.410
You need the space, yeah. Yeah, I need the space

00:28:54.410 --> 00:28:56.769
and the sun. Oh, speaking of your truck, we got

00:28:56.769 --> 00:28:59.440
to figure out one more. We got to. Time it to

00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:01.660
go to 1845. I don't know what we got going on

00:29:01.660 --> 00:29:03.940
this Saturday morning. Do we have anything going

00:29:03.940 --> 00:29:09.740
on Saturday morning? Potentially BPA food. Okay.

00:29:09.819 --> 00:29:12.420
Remember you felt the last few years? Yeah, it's

00:29:12.420 --> 00:29:15.640
always a nice big. I need to find out if that's

00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:18.400
actually happening. I have an all weekend excursion.

00:29:19.259 --> 00:29:21.950
I'm having to rent a trailer. drive all the way

00:29:21.950 --> 00:29:23.869
down to Bryan, pick up my brother, drive all

00:29:23.869 --> 00:29:26.230
the way to Houston, load up the refrigerator,

00:29:26.670 --> 00:29:30.529
the washer -dryer, some TVs, a chair, drive it

00:29:30.529 --> 00:29:32.109
all the way back to Peter's house, spend the

00:29:32.109 --> 00:29:34.410
night, and then in the morning on Sunday, drive

00:29:34.410 --> 00:29:36.609
all the way back and unload all that shit. Is

00:29:36.609 --> 00:29:39.269
that all of Alan's stuff? Yeah. What does he

00:29:39.269 --> 00:29:41.650
want to do with it? He just needs it out of the

00:29:41.650 --> 00:29:43.890
house, and it's a nice refrigerator, so we'll

00:29:43.890 --> 00:29:46.029
take one of those, and Dylan wants the washer

00:29:46.029 --> 00:29:48.710
-dryer, so we'll do that. Oh, okay, so Alan doesn't

00:29:48.710 --> 00:29:52.019
want to try to get it down there. No. Oh, no.

00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:53.559
He doesn't want to keep it. No, no, no. He's

00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:55.920
like, hey, you can have it all. I'm going to

00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:58.039
just throw it out or let the people, whoever

00:29:58.039 --> 00:30:00.740
buys the house, keep it. Right. Okay. So I'm

00:30:00.740 --> 00:30:03.119
doing that. That's my all -day, all -weekend

00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:07.000
excursion. Yeah. So I'm out. Well, the 1845 deal

00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:11.319
is cool because June Pettit from the 1845 Distillery.

00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:13.680
Shout out to the 1845 Distillery. Fantastic folks.

00:30:13.779 --> 00:30:15.359
We are not drinking their stuff. We drank its

00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:18.190
stuff last week. Last week. Double oak. Yeah,

00:30:18.190 --> 00:30:20.210
the double oak. Man, that's fantastic. God bless.

00:30:20.250 --> 00:30:23.369
I love that stuff. We've got a good relationship

00:30:23.369 --> 00:30:26.650
with them, so they have blessed us with a barrel,

00:30:26.769 --> 00:30:30.789
too, and we're getting another barrel, and we're

00:30:30.789 --> 00:30:32.829
going to put it in the podcast room, probably

00:30:32.829 --> 00:30:34.230
right over behind me where that lamp is. I think

00:30:34.230 --> 00:30:36.589
it needs to be Paul's chair that he sits on.

00:30:36.769 --> 00:30:38.710
Oh, cool. I get to shit on the barrel. So it'll

00:30:38.710 --> 00:30:41.349
be really tall. That won't look weird. Your crotch

00:30:41.349 --> 00:30:42.069
will be like that. No, I'll just be really high

00:30:42.069 --> 00:30:44.240
up and be like, hey, guys. Your crotch is going

00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:46.319
to be like right on our face level. Yeah. But

00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:47.640
you have to wear lederhosen. Our viewers were

00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:49.599
like that too. Yes. You got to wear lederhosen.

00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:52.359
I do. Yeah. I'm thinking lederhosen. Yes. Weird.

00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:56.279
Okay. Whatever. We'll put it somewhere back here.

00:30:56.319 --> 00:30:57.339
I don't know where it's going to go. They're

00:30:57.339 --> 00:30:58.720
going to give us a nice beer on. Shout out to

00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:00.259
them. Plus, we're going to pick up a couple of

00:31:00.259 --> 00:31:03.759
their projects so we can laser them. Yeah. They

00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:06.779
have some projects for us to do. It's very exciting.

00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:09.160
So 1845, I don't know what we got going on. So,

00:31:09.180 --> 00:31:11.880
you know, maybe Friday, Friday night, Friday

00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:14.829
afternoon. You do back to five. I don't get back

00:31:14.829 --> 00:31:18.069
to after six. Oh. Yeah. What's going on there?

00:31:18.089 --> 00:31:22.329
That blows up our whole Friday. Yeah, yes, it

00:31:22.329 --> 00:31:25.589
did. He destroyed the dude like us thing. My

00:31:25.589 --> 00:31:28.230
route changed, and I don't get back to the stadium

00:31:28.230 --> 00:31:31.210
until 545, and I don't get home until after six.

00:31:31.329 --> 00:31:33.950
Bummer. Yeah, it'll change again. It's one of

00:31:33.950 --> 00:31:36.730
those things, right? Potentially, yeah. You never

00:31:36.730 --> 00:31:40.599
know. As kids leave and go. Routes are always

00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:43.900
changing. Well, we'll figure it out. I'm kind

00:31:43.900 --> 00:31:47.460
of thankful that we kind of figured out some

00:31:47.460 --> 00:31:50.660
of the social media videos that we're putting

00:31:50.660 --> 00:31:52.359
out there are starting to get a little bit of

00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:55.319
attraction. But the Friday night little things

00:31:55.319 --> 00:31:58.119
that we got going on, those were fun. I don't

00:31:58.119 --> 00:32:03.299
like having fun sampling a bunch of drinks and

00:32:03.299 --> 00:32:05.779
getting a little toasty, but it was getting a

00:32:05.779 --> 00:32:08.309
lot of toasty. Oh, it was a lot of toast, yeah.

00:32:08.430 --> 00:32:10.509
It was. I mean, shit, we'd get back at 6 .30,

00:32:10.609 --> 00:32:12.910
7 .30, and I'd be like, holy shit, I'd lay on

00:32:12.910 --> 00:32:17.210
the couch and I'd... It was fun, but I was kind

00:32:17.210 --> 00:32:19.549
of like, all right, well, I just partied. Oh,

00:32:19.549 --> 00:32:21.589
no, Friday night, we just went shopping. No,

00:32:22.029 --> 00:32:24.450
you went out and fucking partied. We went on

00:32:24.450 --> 00:32:26.630
a run. I'm not even talking to anybody. I'm talking

00:32:26.630 --> 00:32:28.670
to myself. Two and a half hour binge is what

00:32:28.670 --> 00:32:30.710
it was. Yeah, it was crazy. But it's fun. But

00:32:30.710 --> 00:32:32.809
you know what? It was one of those things where

00:32:32.809 --> 00:32:35.809
we... probably should have done some videoing

00:32:35.809 --> 00:32:38.250
of those events that would go out. And we need

00:32:38.250 --> 00:32:39.710
to continue that. Just because you're not there.

00:32:39.910 --> 00:32:42.529
That's why I wanted to, Chuck says his son has

00:32:42.529 --> 00:32:44.710
one, get one of those gimbals. And I wanted to

00:32:44.710 --> 00:32:46.170
test Scott's out to see if it's something we

00:32:46.170 --> 00:32:49.430
wanted to look at. Because I think having that,

00:32:49.549 --> 00:32:52.190
I mean, you look kind of dorky with it, but I

00:32:52.190 --> 00:32:55.789
think it'll add a level of... Authenticity. Or

00:32:55.789 --> 00:32:57.410
something. It'll make it look better, I think.

00:32:57.549 --> 00:32:59.309
Yeah, professionalism. Yes, professionalism,

00:32:59.309 --> 00:33:00.950
yes. Yeah, we were hoping to bring that to Rebel,

00:33:01.069 --> 00:33:02.470
remember? Yeah. We were talking about doing that.

00:33:02.490 --> 00:33:05.170
Yeah. Well, I mean, Scott had one. He would have

00:33:05.170 --> 00:33:07.269
probably brought it. We didn't think about it.

00:33:07.309 --> 00:33:09.049
He didn't think about it. Well, it's also a matter

00:33:09.049 --> 00:33:12.130
of downloading the app, learning how to use it.

00:33:12.190 --> 00:33:14.190
I don't think it's difficult, but there's an

00:33:14.190 --> 00:33:16.029
app that goes with it, so it pairs with your

00:33:16.029 --> 00:33:20.390
phone. Oh, interesting. Oh. Oh. Yeah. Okay. But

00:33:20.390 --> 00:33:22.130
how about that? That's what I was kind of wondering.

00:33:22.309 --> 00:33:25.410
Yeah, so folks out there. That was fun. We went

00:33:25.410 --> 00:33:27.730
to the Revel this past weekend, and it was the

00:33:27.730 --> 00:33:30.210
Dudes Like Us podcast, along with Larry Hokai

00:33:30.210 --> 00:33:32.109
and Scott Cash. Shout out to those guys from

00:33:32.109 --> 00:33:37.130
JSL. And Cody, Scott Cash's cousin from somewhere

00:33:37.130 --> 00:33:41.450
around Abilene, Texas. No, up in Oklahoma. Okay.

00:33:42.089 --> 00:33:44.569
He's from up in Oklahoma, I thought. Yeah, he's

00:33:44.569 --> 00:33:46.869
a cool guy. He was in Abilene for his son's.

00:33:47.089 --> 00:33:49.910
Oh, is that what it was? Kai Jump. What is Bill's

00:33:49.910 --> 00:33:52.730
last name? In my phone, it's Bill Whiskey. Was

00:33:52.730 --> 00:33:55.269
it Paul Vault? Yeah, Paul Vault. Well, Bill was

00:33:55.269 --> 00:34:00.430
there from our whiskey group. Joel? Not Billy

00:34:00.430 --> 00:34:09.849
Joel, but Bill. Idol? It was a great excursion.

00:34:09.849 --> 00:34:12.610
It was a great night. They had two tribute bands

00:34:12.610 --> 00:34:15.289
that were playing. Both were excellent. Bob Seger.

00:34:15.389 --> 00:34:18.469
Dude, the Bob Seger band was amazing. I mean,

00:34:18.489 --> 00:34:20.550
when you say Bob Seger, I'm like, eh, you know.

00:34:20.590 --> 00:34:21.750
He's got a lot of good shit. All right, yeah,

00:34:21.829 --> 00:34:23.570
I mean, he does, but at the same time, I'm like,

00:34:23.590 --> 00:34:25.489
I don't know if I'd get into it again. You know,

00:34:25.510 --> 00:34:26.989
there was a time where I kind of got into it.

00:34:27.170 --> 00:34:29.849
I got into all of them. And plus, he was a great

00:34:29.849 --> 00:34:32.230
performer. He was good. Like I said, if you closed

00:34:32.230 --> 00:34:34.469
your eyes, you would not know it wasn't Bob Seger.

00:34:34.610 --> 00:34:37.400
He was that good. It was good. And thanks. Shout

00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:40.260
out to Chuck for giving the podcast $20 of cash

00:34:40.260 --> 00:34:43.519
so I can lay it up in front of the dude's feet

00:34:43.519 --> 00:34:46.659
along with our card. And he was like, I don't

00:34:46.659 --> 00:34:47.699
know what he wants me to do with that. And I

00:34:47.699 --> 00:34:51.300
was like, read it. Read it. And he was like,

00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:53.739
oh, dude's like a spy. He gave us two shout outs.

00:34:53.739 --> 00:34:55.969
Two shout outs, yeah. Yeah, that's cool. Anyway,

00:34:55.989 --> 00:34:58.289
and then Boston, I didn't think the lead singer,

00:34:58.510 --> 00:35:00.630
I mean, it's a tall order, right? It's a tall

00:35:00.630 --> 00:35:03.550
order to have someone sound perfect. No one's

00:35:03.550 --> 00:35:05.349
going to sound like Boston. Exactly. But I will

00:35:05.349 --> 00:35:09.829
say the musician portion of it, they were amazing.

00:35:10.289 --> 00:35:12.730
Yeah, the band was really, really good. Oh, they

00:35:12.730 --> 00:35:14.610
really were. I think the lead singer, he held

00:35:14.610 --> 00:35:16.050
his own. I mean, he has a high -pitched voice,

00:35:16.250 --> 00:35:18.730
so that's kind of what you need. But the pitch

00:35:18.730 --> 00:35:21.110
and the tone were not on. Yeah, it was a little

00:35:21.110 --> 00:35:23.469
off. But overall, man, it was a great night.

00:35:23.650 --> 00:35:26.489
Yeah, they did a great job. I think both of them.

00:35:26.550 --> 00:35:32.309
We did a lot of sampling that night. I think

00:35:32.309 --> 00:35:34.530
you did more than we did. I must have. Yeah.

00:35:34.670 --> 00:35:37.949
I think we tried probably most of them, but I

00:35:37.949 --> 00:35:39.989
tried little sips. Oh, little tiny things. Yeah.

00:35:40.130 --> 00:35:42.190
Well, before we walked out the door, I mean,

00:35:42.190 --> 00:35:48.070
I poured myself a very large 12 -year Weller.

00:35:48.969 --> 00:35:50.889
Yeah, I didn't have any of that. I was about

00:35:50.889 --> 00:35:52.590
to pour some for Chuck. Chuck's like, whoa, whoa,

00:35:52.590 --> 00:35:54.269
whoa, whoa, whoa. I don't want that much. I was

00:35:54.269 --> 00:35:55.730
like. Fucking hand in the ball. Fill your own

00:35:55.730 --> 00:35:59.230
glass, bitch. And so he filled the Glencairn

00:35:59.230 --> 00:36:01.530
and I'm like, whoa, that is a lot. Yeah. So you

00:36:01.530 --> 00:36:02.949
guys showed up like right away and I was like,

00:36:03.010 --> 00:36:04.989
holy shit, it's time to go. That's at your house.

00:36:05.110 --> 00:36:07.489
So you had to slam it. Oh, yeah. I was like,

00:36:07.550 --> 00:36:10.170
glug, glug, glug, bam. And then we picked us

00:36:10.170 --> 00:36:12.269
up and I was kind of, then instantly I was like,

00:36:12.309 --> 00:36:16.260
I'm drunk. Instantly. Because I hadn't eaten

00:36:16.260 --> 00:36:17.860
yet. I hadn't eaten all day. You're like, I had

00:36:17.860 --> 00:36:22.960
three hard -boiled eggs. I did. Luckily, that

00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:24.900
didn't happen, but I was thinking it was going

00:36:24.900 --> 00:36:27.860
to. Yeah, there were some very good, tasty whiskeys

00:36:27.860 --> 00:36:30.880
there that night. Yeah, we sampled, was it Tanyard

00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:33.039
from Jack Daniels? Jack Daniels Tanyard, the

00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:37.199
Jack Daniels 14, the Jack Daniels 12, and there

00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:38.719
was something else, I think. Yeah, shout -out

00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:40.639
to Bill. Shout -out to Cash. Cash brought some

00:36:40.639 --> 00:36:43.659
stuff, too. Yeah. Yeah, it was good stuff. Plus,

00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:46.739
I brought a couple of things. Knob Creek 12 and

00:36:46.739 --> 00:36:51.199
my old granddad with Amberana in it. Now, of

00:36:51.199 --> 00:36:54.039
course, we would never do that in the establishment.

00:36:54.380 --> 00:36:58.800
Oh, no. Every time we went outside and we sat

00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:00.900
around the car and we did a little sample. In

00:37:00.900 --> 00:37:02.019
the handicapped spot. And then we walked all

00:37:02.019 --> 00:37:05.639
the way back. We'd never do that inside. Because

00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:07.980
that would be wrong. Like a smoke break. Yeah,

00:37:07.980 --> 00:37:09.900
yeah. We'll go with that. It's a whiskey break.

00:37:10.300 --> 00:37:12.420
You know what's crazy? That Larry drives all

00:37:12.420 --> 00:37:15.679
the way out there from Weatherford, and he drives

00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:19.820
all the way home. Damn. That's a long way. He

00:37:19.820 --> 00:37:21.360
was enjoying himself, though. He was really enjoying

00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:24.139
the music. Oh, man. They did such a great job.

00:37:24.300 --> 00:37:27.860
I got to tell you, the Revel, it's a great venue

00:37:27.860 --> 00:37:31.840
to watch performances like that. The problem

00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:35.239
is it's expensive. Yeah, it's not cheap. It's

00:37:35.239 --> 00:37:37.079
not cheap. It's expensive. How much do you think

00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:39.449
the bill was at the end of the night? Brought

00:37:39.449 --> 00:37:45.090
up by guess. I'm going to go with $540. What

00:37:45.090 --> 00:37:48.630
do you think, Jeff? $690. Holy shit. I have no

00:37:48.630 --> 00:37:51.550
idea. Well, there's food involved as well. $420.

00:37:51.630 --> 00:37:53.750
But we didn't drink any. Oh, my God. There was

00:37:53.750 --> 00:38:00.610
only food and beer. Because we didn't drink any.

00:38:00.710 --> 00:38:02.929
That's true. We didn't order any whiskeys. That's

00:38:02.929 --> 00:38:05.619
true. Are you saying it was like $70? It was

00:38:05.619 --> 00:38:08.940
$420. Wow. Oh, I overbid. Ding, ding, ding, ding,

00:38:08.940 --> 00:38:12.780
ding. And I only said that because he said $690,

00:38:12.840 --> 00:38:14.699
and I thought that was funny. So I'm going to

00:38:14.699 --> 00:38:18.280
make a $420 joke. Oh, well. I thought maybe you

00:38:18.280 --> 00:38:20.659
saw it or something. But no, it's $420, and then

00:38:20.659 --> 00:38:23.480
Cash tipped on top of that. So, you know, shout

00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:25.480
out to Cash for picking up the tab on that. The

00:38:25.480 --> 00:38:27.300
waitress did an excellent job. Oh, I thought

00:38:27.300 --> 00:38:29.760
Larry did. Larry didn't pick up the tab? No,

00:38:29.880 --> 00:38:32.550
Scott did. I think, well, whatever. Let those

00:38:32.550 --> 00:38:34.349
guys work it out. There's some business stuff

00:38:34.349 --> 00:38:36.010
going on. That was really nice. That was really

00:38:36.010 --> 00:38:38.909
nice of them. I told Larry I appreciate it. See

00:38:38.909 --> 00:38:41.889
if you could find on the YouTube the Seeger system.

00:38:42.130 --> 00:38:43.849
I may have said something. I don't know. Towards

00:38:43.849 --> 00:38:46.769
the end of the night, I was like, Yeah, you were

00:38:46.769 --> 00:38:49.110
pretty good. You were sitting next to me. You

00:38:49.110 --> 00:38:52.809
were just like, roofied. I did not. I'm going

00:38:52.809 --> 00:38:58.030
to roof it again. I actually remember the whole

00:38:58.030 --> 00:39:03.449
night. It's just, I don't remember when I got

00:39:03.449 --> 00:39:07.570
home. So these guys, was this actually from that

00:39:07.570 --> 00:39:11.469
event that night? No, I think it's just a promo

00:39:11.469 --> 00:39:14.329
of their band. These guys did great, man. The

00:39:14.329 --> 00:39:16.230
Seeger System, the ultimate Bob Seeger tribute

00:39:16.230 --> 00:39:18.869
band. These guys are great. The saxophone player,

00:39:19.010 --> 00:39:20.530
it's like he whipped that out for that just one

00:39:20.530 --> 00:39:22.070
moment. They were kind of like, hey, dude, you

00:39:22.070 --> 00:39:23.710
got to learn the saxophone. No, we don't want

00:39:23.710 --> 00:39:25.329
you to learn. You don't have to play anything.

00:39:25.469 --> 00:39:28.090
Just that one song. Just be really good at that

00:39:28.090 --> 00:39:32.260
one song. Right, right. Is that the same guy

00:39:32.260 --> 00:39:37.000
singing that? Yeah, he was really good, man.

00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:39.840
We enjoyed it. It's a secret system, so. I think,

00:39:39.860 --> 00:39:43.360
and I'm kind of torn on, you know, I think next

00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:45.510
time. If we get a group like that, we just need

00:39:45.510 --> 00:39:48.769
to get two six tops. So the question is, do we

00:39:48.769 --> 00:39:52.869
get the traditional six tops where we were 25

00:39:52.869 --> 00:39:56.309
feet from the stage and it had the round bar

00:39:56.309 --> 00:39:59.650
stools? Or do we get the compact tables that

00:39:59.650 --> 00:40:01.949
hold six? Because, frankly, I don't really like

00:40:01.949 --> 00:40:04.929
the compact tables. The area was nice where we

00:40:04.929 --> 00:40:07.469
were at, but there's people all around us. Well,

00:40:07.469 --> 00:40:09.150
I mean, I don't think you're not going to get

00:40:09.150 --> 00:40:12.230
away from feeling too crowded. Oh, yeah. Well,

00:40:12.289 --> 00:40:13.949
then plus that one guy that kept buying you shots,

00:40:14.050 --> 00:40:15.789
and then did he run his hand up the small of

00:40:15.789 --> 00:40:17.489
your back? What was going on with that? No, that

00:40:17.489 --> 00:40:19.610
didn't happen. No, no, it happened. That was

00:40:19.610 --> 00:40:22.409
years and years ago. Okay, so just because it

00:40:22.409 --> 00:40:23.869
happened years and years ago, it still happened.

00:40:23.869 --> 00:40:25.489
No, no, no, we've all forgotten it, so it didn't

00:40:25.489 --> 00:40:28.170
happen anymore. Sean has an elephant memory and

00:40:28.170 --> 00:40:30.269
things like that. Really? Only certain things.

00:40:30.269 --> 00:40:32.670
No, just that. Nothing else. I can't remember

00:40:32.670 --> 00:40:35.269
what shoes I'm wearing right now. We can't remember

00:40:35.269 --> 00:40:37.789
what queso is. That gentleman made me extremely

00:40:37.789 --> 00:40:39.949
uncomfortable, and I very quickly moved away

00:40:39.949 --> 00:40:42.070
from him. Yeah, that was kind of weird. It was

00:40:42.070 --> 00:40:44.449
very weird. He was just so toasty. I think he

00:40:44.449 --> 00:40:46.690
left his phone there too, right? That would be

00:40:46.690 --> 00:40:49.590
you. Oh, that was a different time. Yeah, that

00:40:49.590 --> 00:40:50.829
was a different time. I should have taken the

00:40:50.829 --> 00:40:53.550
phone. Well, I know Paul was doing an expert.

00:40:55.469 --> 00:40:59.510
example of how to sample bourbon. Oh, you posted

00:40:59.510 --> 00:41:02.010
one of the videos? His technique of being a lizard?

00:41:02.829 --> 00:41:06.780
Yeah, but hold on. I didn't know more context

00:41:06.780 --> 00:41:09.179
what's going on because I didn't know he was

00:41:09.179 --> 00:41:11.780
sampling bourbon until I watched it a few times

00:41:11.780 --> 00:41:13.679
because I didn't understand what was going on.

00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:15.599
I'm like, did he just take a bite of a sandwich

00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:17.880
or something? And then he's like trying to swallow

00:41:17.880 --> 00:41:20.119
it. And then after watching it to their son,

00:41:20.179 --> 00:41:22.940
but that is like horrific to watch this so many

00:41:22.940 --> 00:41:26.690
times. And then I realized. Oh, he's drinking

00:41:26.690 --> 00:41:28.510
the bourbon because I saw someone sample it.

00:41:28.570 --> 00:41:30.050
That's the way to sample it. And I was like,

00:41:30.090 --> 00:41:32.309
oh, that's first off. I was being a smart ass

00:41:32.309 --> 00:41:35.610
and totally overdoing it, not knowing that jackass

00:41:35.610 --> 00:41:38.489
over here was filming me and that jackass over

00:41:38.489 --> 00:41:40.510
here would be posting it on Instagram instantly.

00:41:40.710 --> 00:41:43.030
And we got a lot of hits on Instagram. You know,

00:41:43.030 --> 00:41:45.630
me looking like a fool. Well, Larry was next

00:41:45.630 --> 00:41:47.750
to me. So he was watching. He was laughing. Mr.

00:41:47.909 --> 00:41:49.989
Producer. And he was laughing. He goes, you need

00:41:49.989 --> 00:41:53.920
to post that. Right. I was like, OK. Yeah, that's

00:41:53.920 --> 00:41:59.260
great. We actually have a couple videos from

00:41:59.260 --> 00:42:02.420
that night. I think three. Yeah, you filmed and

00:42:02.420 --> 00:42:04.400
posted several of them. I didn't want to do too

00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:07.760
many of them, but it's that one there. Nope,

00:42:08.199 --> 00:42:10.860
next one. That one there. Great. Yeah, let's

00:42:10.860 --> 00:42:14.059
just take a look at this. You got any music with

00:42:14.059 --> 00:42:16.219
that? I look like a fat Komodo dragon. See, I

00:42:16.219 --> 00:42:17.559
had no intention, and all of a sudden you started

00:42:17.559 --> 00:42:21.059
doing this. And I was like, oh. Then he zooms

00:42:21.059 --> 00:42:24.059
in. Why are you zooming in on me? Although that's

00:42:24.059 --> 00:42:27.280
an attractive face. There's nothing attractive

00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:31.019
about that whatsoever. You don't even need audio

00:42:31.019 --> 00:42:34.280
to see that part. Clearly, you fucker. Oh, no,

00:42:34.340 --> 00:42:36.059
no, no. I don't use profanity. I'm not sure what

00:42:36.059 --> 00:42:38.760
I said. That was good stuff. Yeah, it was a good

00:42:38.760 --> 00:42:41.199
time. I enjoy doing that. We can only do that

00:42:41.199 --> 00:42:43.980
once in a blue moon. I can only do that once

00:42:43.980 --> 00:42:46.539
in a blue moon. It had been like over a year.

00:42:46.880 --> 00:42:51.039
It had been a while for me. Yeah. And the tickets

00:42:51.039 --> 00:42:53.800
were extraordinarily expensive. They were $39.

00:42:53.860 --> 00:42:55.500
I don't understand why. I mean, they were very

00:42:55.500 --> 00:42:57.940
good bands. $39 .50 a pop. I don't get it, man.

00:42:58.039 --> 00:43:00.400
Those are cover bands, and you're spending $20

00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:03.000
a pop to see a cover band? Unless they were expensive

00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:05.539
bands to get. But that's it. I think they're

00:43:05.539 --> 00:43:08.739
landing pretty respectable cover bands, and that's

00:43:08.739 --> 00:43:11.880
why. They were able to give them a chunk of change.

00:43:12.119 --> 00:43:14.619
They were good. Yeah, they earned it. Whatever

00:43:14.619 --> 00:43:16.519
they made that night, they earned it. See, I

00:43:16.519 --> 00:43:18.920
would have paid that to go see the Foreigner

00:43:18.920 --> 00:43:22.059
cover band that we saw. Like the real cover band?

00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:24.199
Yeah, the ones we saw. That was a cover band.

00:43:24.559 --> 00:43:26.940
There was zero people from Foreigner on that.

00:43:27.019 --> 00:43:29.260
I know, I know. But they are at least... How

00:43:29.260 --> 00:43:31.820
much did we actually pay? A hundred bucks. They're

00:43:31.820 --> 00:43:34.239
at least all legends in their own right. It's

00:43:34.239 --> 00:43:36.280
not like they're people off the street that are

00:43:36.280 --> 00:43:39.340
being in a cover band. They're officially the...

00:43:39.340 --> 00:43:41.460
But you have to at least acknowledge that those

00:43:41.460 --> 00:43:43.929
are some of the Foreigner. There were legends

00:43:43.929 --> 00:43:46.809
in that band. From where? Yeah, they're a tribute

00:43:46.809 --> 00:43:49.050
band. You knew who they all were. Oh, he played

00:43:49.050 --> 00:43:51.530
for Toto. Oh, he played for Kansas. Oh, he played

00:43:51.530 --> 00:43:53.789
for blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. They're all

00:43:53.789 --> 00:43:55.250
session players. They're all session players.

00:43:55.429 --> 00:43:56.869
I think they were very good. They sounded great.

00:43:56.969 --> 00:43:59.530
I had a problem with zero people from the original

00:43:59.530 --> 00:44:01.090
Foreigner being in it for a hundred bucks. I

00:44:01.090 --> 00:44:04.070
totally get that. I totally get that. Yeah. Well,

00:44:04.650 --> 00:44:06.650
they really need to relabel the tribute band.

00:44:06.809 --> 00:44:09.909
I mean, where do you draw the line? What makes

00:44:09.909 --> 00:44:13.929
you guys, the Foreigner, if there's not a single

00:44:13.929 --> 00:44:16.150
member that's from that original band. There

00:44:16.150 --> 00:44:17.969
is the other band that's similar to that, like

00:44:17.969 --> 00:44:20.090
the Guess Who. The Guess Who is probably in the

00:44:20.090 --> 00:44:21.610
Guinness Book of World Records that has the most

00:44:21.610 --> 00:44:23.250
players that have transitioned in and out of

00:44:23.250 --> 00:44:25.429
that place. Oh, really? Yeah, so how many would

00:44:25.429 --> 00:44:28.269
you say makes it where you can say they're authentic?

00:44:28.469 --> 00:44:30.969
One, two, and it doesn't have to be the lead

00:44:30.969 --> 00:44:33.010
singer. What if the keyboardist is the original

00:44:33.010 --> 00:44:35.710
and none of the other ones are? Like Mick Jones

00:44:35.710 --> 00:44:41.679
needs to be in it, or Lou Graham. I get it. Or

00:44:41.679 --> 00:44:44.599
the guitarist or something like that. What about

00:44:44.599 --> 00:44:48.579
Styx? They had two originals, right? Did they?

00:44:48.699 --> 00:44:51.219
No, they have at least three. At least three?

00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:54.440
Yeah, they have Tommy Shaw, the tall guitarist,

00:44:54.500 --> 00:44:58.719
the drummer. I think maybe, I don't know about

00:44:58.719 --> 00:45:01.860
the bassist, but the singer has been with Styx

00:45:01.860 --> 00:45:05.679
longer than Dennis DeYoung did. Right. And he

00:45:05.679 --> 00:45:07.519
was entertaining. Yeah, he was. He was great.

00:45:07.920 --> 00:45:10.360
Was that the piano player? Yeah, wearing the

00:45:10.360 --> 00:45:12.280
white pants, shaking his ass. Yeah, he was a

00:45:12.280 --> 00:45:14.340
bit much. What is up with that? He was over the

00:45:14.340 --> 00:45:16.699
top, had that piano that was like doing circles,

00:45:16.820 --> 00:45:19.139
and he was like, dude, are you on coke? Yeah,

00:45:19.179 --> 00:45:21.519
he was writhing all over the place, and I was

00:45:21.519 --> 00:45:23.579
like, I would love to have that much energy.

00:45:23.739 --> 00:45:26.460
How old is he, in the 70s? I don't know. I have

00:45:26.460 --> 00:45:28.539
no idea how old he is. But he was. He had energy.

00:45:28.719 --> 00:45:30.460
I'll give you that. Tons of energy. I don't want

00:45:30.460 --> 00:45:32.099
to say he was all coked up because I'm not saying

00:45:32.099 --> 00:45:34.360
that at all. But he had a tremendous amount of

00:45:34.360 --> 00:45:35.820
energy. And the girls that were sitting in front

00:45:35.820 --> 00:45:38.019
of us were frolicking all over him. And they

00:45:38.019 --> 00:45:40.340
were young. And I was kind of like, damn. I need

00:45:40.340 --> 00:45:42.800
white leather pants. That's what you're thinking.

00:45:43.139 --> 00:45:45.119
I was not thinking that. I thought that was your

00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:47.469
statement. Are you sure? No, I'm 100%. I just

00:45:47.469 --> 00:45:50.829
heard Jeff say that. Jeff said, I need, he needs.

00:45:51.110 --> 00:45:53.130
Okay, so you never thought, I want to be that

00:45:53.130 --> 00:45:55.090
guy. I want to wear those white leather pants.

00:45:55.090 --> 00:45:57.610
I want the red leather ones just like Loverboy.

00:45:57.690 --> 00:45:59.710
Loverboy. You think you could still fit in those?

00:45:59.909 --> 00:46:04.050
No. Are there any other questions? That's a quick

00:46:04.050 --> 00:46:06.909
no. Yeah, that's like the fastest no I could

00:46:06.909 --> 00:46:09.440
get out. Right. So these are all the people that

00:46:09.440 --> 00:46:12.719
have been or are in Foreigner? In Foreigner,

00:46:12.739 --> 00:46:15.280
yeah. And it's like a rolling cast. I mean, yeah,

00:46:15.340 --> 00:46:18.139
there's some ones you know, but there's 16 people

00:46:18.139 --> 00:46:20.340
up there. I think that top row is the original,

00:46:20.400 --> 00:46:23.239
isn't it? Well, some of them. Bruce Watson's

00:46:23.239 --> 00:46:27.019
been there since 2011. Oh, that Kelly. I can't

00:46:27.019 --> 00:46:28.780
see it. Kelly Hanson. He's the singer now, isn't

00:46:28.780 --> 00:46:32.380
he? He's good. Probably, yeah. I mean, he's good.

00:46:32.440 --> 00:46:35.820
They sounded good. If I'm paying to see Foreigner,

00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:38.130
I want to see. Foreigner. Yeah, so you'd rather

00:46:38.130 --> 00:46:41.409
pay 40 bucks to see a foreign cover band. Yes.

00:46:41.409 --> 00:46:43.710
I got you. Yes. But they're playing in big venues.

00:46:44.150 --> 00:46:45.889
Yeah, it was a big venue. It was a nice venue.

00:46:46.010 --> 00:46:47.769
It was expensive, too, though. I mean, everything

00:46:47.769 --> 00:46:49.690
is expensive. Look, everything is expensive.

00:46:50.130 --> 00:46:52.710
Everything. Everything. Our rent, where we live,

00:46:52.789 --> 00:46:56.449
food, except for gas. Gas isn't expensive. Bourbon's

00:46:56.449 --> 00:46:58.409
coming down. Yeah, well, you know, it's because

00:46:58.409 --> 00:47:01.280
they have to. You know, it's because it's...

00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:03.019
They're actually getting murdered by the tariffs.

00:47:03.280 --> 00:47:05.980
The last... Well, the bourbon's not getting murdered

00:47:05.980 --> 00:47:07.960
by tariffs. Yeah, they are. How are they getting

00:47:07.960 --> 00:47:09.599
murdered by tariffs? First off, they lost all

00:47:09.599 --> 00:47:12.800
of Canada. Okay, well, so? And that was huge.

00:47:13.340 --> 00:47:15.699
Huge. That doesn't impact our pricing. Yeah.

00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:18.719
Tariffs don't impact... Jim Beam has stopped

00:47:18.719 --> 00:47:20.739
production. I know, but how does that impact...

00:47:20.960 --> 00:47:22.820
My bottle of Jim Beam. Well, I'm just saying.

00:47:23.099 --> 00:47:24.460
Everything's made here in the U .S. The tariffs

00:47:24.460 --> 00:47:26.039
are really, really hurting. Well, the Supreme

00:47:26.039 --> 00:47:27.780
Court was supposed to weigh in on the tariffs

00:47:27.780 --> 00:47:29.739
this week. Today, the Supreme Court was weighing

00:47:29.739 --> 00:47:32.780
in on the transgender whole thing, which, in

00:47:32.780 --> 00:47:38.639
my opinion, is absolutely a waste of time. It

00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:41.679
should be simple. It should be nine to zero.

00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:45.639
And it's an absolute waste of time. It won't

00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:47.960
be 9 -0. Males are males. Females are females.

00:47:48.260 --> 00:47:51.099
But it should be. It should be. 100%. It's going

00:47:51.099 --> 00:47:53.199
to be split exactly like all the other ones are

00:47:53.199 --> 00:47:55.420
split. Conservative and liberal. All these social

00:47:55.420 --> 00:47:59.480
bullshit things. Did you see, I guess, one of

00:47:59.480 --> 00:48:04.000
the justices, was it Amy Coney Barrett? I don't

00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:06.000
remember who it was. I asked one of the lawyers

00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:09.400
to define. Or sex or the woman or something like

00:48:09.400 --> 00:48:11.380
that. It was Alito. I guess he couldn't do that.

00:48:11.460 --> 00:48:17.659
Samuel Alito. He goes, before we can decide classifications

00:48:17.659 --> 00:48:19.699
of men and women, we need to define what a man

00:48:19.699 --> 00:48:23.440
and woman is. Can you do that? And they struggled

00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:24.860
with that. They couldn't do it. I know. It's

00:48:24.860 --> 00:48:26.900
so ridiculous. I hate that. So you're saying

00:48:26.900 --> 00:48:29.739
that one of the justices couldn't say it? Alito.

00:48:29.800 --> 00:48:32.079
No, no, no. Alito was challenging the lawyer

00:48:32.079 --> 00:48:37.630
to. to come up with a definition of male and

00:48:37.630 --> 00:48:40.250
female so that they could move forward with debating

00:48:40.250 --> 00:48:41.809
whether or not classifications were allowed.

00:48:41.809 --> 00:48:46.130
Are you talking about the Alan Michael Hurst

00:48:46.130 --> 00:48:50.329
lawyer? Because he was the guy that was promoting

00:48:50.329 --> 00:48:52.909
getting the transgender shit out. So was there

00:48:52.909 --> 00:48:54.610
another lawyer that was representing the left?

00:48:54.769 --> 00:49:01.489
Yes. It was a lawyer on the left. So the Contangi

00:49:01.489 --> 00:49:05.500
Brown Jackson, in my opinion, She's a fruitcake.

00:49:05.679 --> 00:49:08.159
She was the one that couldn't define a woman

00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:10.599
when she went through the Senate hearing. Absolutely

00:49:10.599 --> 00:49:13.059
bizarre. I don't even know how the hell she made

00:49:13.059 --> 00:49:17.219
it. I know how because the Dems had the votes.

00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:19.739
They were going to get her in regardless. Yeah,

00:49:19.739 --> 00:49:23.880
it was during when they had the Senate majority.

00:49:24.099 --> 00:49:27.360
Correct. That's when it happened. It's bizarre.

00:49:27.539 --> 00:49:29.340
I mean, the line of questioning that she was

00:49:29.340 --> 00:49:31.300
asking was just absolutely, because I listened

00:49:31.300 --> 00:49:33.960
to almost the whole thing this today. Oh, really?

00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:35.820
Yeah, because I was in the office, and I shut

00:49:35.820 --> 00:49:37.739
my door, and I had it on there, and every time

00:49:37.739 --> 00:49:39.820
something would happen, I'd hit pause, I'd get

00:49:39.820 --> 00:49:41.880
up, and I'd listen to the whole thing. It was

00:49:41.880 --> 00:49:44.300
entertaining. Are they saying kind of what they're

00:49:44.300 --> 00:49:46.380
thinking it's going to lean to? I mean, is it?

00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:52.320
Oh, yeah, for sure. Transgenders will not be

00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:56.409
able to play girls' sports, period. So we'll

00:49:56.409 --> 00:49:58.849
see how that goes. So what happens if a state

00:49:58.849 --> 00:50:02.329
doesn't follow that ruling? They're kicked out.

00:50:02.489 --> 00:50:05.010
Of what? What would happen? Of the union. Okay,

00:50:05.010 --> 00:50:09.429
gone. Well, hold on. So I don't know if... We'll

00:50:09.429 --> 00:50:10.750
have to change all the flags. I don't know if

00:50:10.750 --> 00:50:13.309
the states all have to abide by it. It's just

00:50:13.309 --> 00:50:15.650
a matter if it goes up to the Supreme Court,

00:50:15.710 --> 00:50:17.909
which that's the whole reason that it went up

00:50:17.909 --> 00:50:20.650
there is that someone was arguing. And the fact

00:50:20.650 --> 00:50:24.630
that it was one particular girl and she was like,

00:50:24.670 --> 00:50:28.150
well, if we don't make our decision today, she's

00:50:28.150 --> 00:50:32.369
going to graduate before the summer. So are we

00:50:32.369 --> 00:50:33.849
going to be able to get this done before that?

00:50:33.969 --> 00:50:35.650
And he was just like, excuse me, ma 'am, she's

00:50:35.650 --> 00:50:38.349
not going to graduate before summer. Meaning

00:50:38.349 --> 00:50:40.590
she didn't pass all her classes or something.

00:50:40.750 --> 00:50:44.710
He's insinuating that. So there'll be opportunities

00:50:44.710 --> 00:50:47.469
to pick the ball back up because she wants to

00:50:47.469 --> 00:50:49.989
continue playing. Yeah, I don't know. I don't

00:50:49.989 --> 00:50:54.690
know. Yeah, I don't know how it will affect the

00:50:54.690 --> 00:50:56.570
states. I mean, in theory, the whole point of

00:50:56.570 --> 00:50:59.550
doing this is so that it puts this to rest. Women

00:50:59.550 --> 00:51:01.630
can't play on men's teams and men's can't play

00:51:01.630 --> 00:51:03.989
on women's teams, period. But if Frisco's like,

00:51:04.110 --> 00:51:07.210
yeah, we're going to allow this, what's going

00:51:07.210 --> 00:51:12.010
to stop them from doing it? Ice. No, what's going

00:51:12.010 --> 00:51:14.489
to stop them from doing it is folks like us standing

00:51:14.489 --> 00:51:16.389
up and saying it's wrong. Well, we do that now.

00:51:16.960 --> 00:51:18.699
Yeah. I mean, you could bring another lawsuit,

00:51:18.800 --> 00:51:21.199
right? Is there something else that we have to

00:51:21.199 --> 00:51:22.699
do? That's what I mean. So the Supreme Court's

00:51:22.699 --> 00:51:24.639
going to rule on this and say, you can't do this.

00:51:24.639 --> 00:51:26.719
I don't know. When they leave the decree down,

00:51:26.900 --> 00:51:29.440
I don't know how. I think Chuck's right. It would

00:51:29.440 --> 00:51:32.659
be a lawsuit, and then— Some lower court would

00:51:32.659 --> 00:51:35.039
put an injunction on it and refer to the Supreme

00:51:35.039 --> 00:51:37.400
Court case on it. That's right. And then— That

00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:39.639
would stop. And then the lawsuit would force

00:51:39.639 --> 00:51:42.340
the school to kick that man off the women's team.

00:51:42.440 --> 00:51:45.489
And if he didn't, what happens? The Junction

00:51:45.489 --> 00:51:47.409
Junction. The guillotine. Junction Junction.

00:51:47.489 --> 00:51:50.369
Yes. I'm just trying to, I don't know. I mean,

00:51:50.389 --> 00:51:52.750
what happens? Death by guillotine. Start chopping

00:51:52.750 --> 00:51:54.929
heads off. If they say, I still want him to play

00:51:54.929 --> 00:51:57.710
in girls volleyball. I don't know. You know what?

00:51:57.769 --> 00:51:59.789
They can go to a school that will accommodate

00:51:59.789 --> 00:52:03.010
that. I mean, look. I get that. They're saying

00:52:03.010 --> 00:52:05.090
misogyny. And it's like, dude, look, it's not

00:52:05.090 --> 00:52:08.989
misogyny because. Girls can play in guy sports.

00:52:09.309 --> 00:52:11.909
If you're that good, then jump on in there and

00:52:11.909 --> 00:52:14.650
play. In fact, there are certain age brackets

00:52:14.650 --> 00:52:19.769
where that could happen. I don't know, man. It

00:52:19.769 --> 00:52:23.190
pisses me off. I agree with you 100%. I want

00:52:23.190 --> 00:52:27.070
to know that there is a hard stop to this happening,

00:52:27.150 --> 00:52:33.329
and I want to know what's the mechanism to stop

00:52:33.329 --> 00:52:36.369
it from happening. Why don't you email this link?

00:52:36.489 --> 00:52:39.820
Alito? Hey, Sam. I think once they make their

00:52:39.820 --> 00:52:45.480
final decisions, that's going to be it. So will

00:52:45.480 --> 00:52:47.280
people contest it? Yeah, they'll still send it

00:52:47.280 --> 00:52:49.320
to court, but what's going to happen? The Supreme

00:52:49.320 --> 00:52:51.619
Court's the final word. It is, but they could

00:52:51.619 --> 00:52:57.179
still contest it, but it won't get past a certain

00:52:57.179 --> 00:52:58.739
point. I don't know about court, but they could

00:52:58.739 --> 00:53:01.219
initially contest it, but it won't get past that.

00:53:01.559 --> 00:53:04.179
So switching gears back to the tariff thing,

00:53:04.260 --> 00:53:06.219
though, did you see how Trump was like, man,

00:53:06.280 --> 00:53:09.519
if the Supreme Court rules against the tariffs,

00:53:09.659 --> 00:53:12.920
it's going to be impossible to unwind this. And

00:53:12.920 --> 00:53:18.880
I agree how complex it would be to unwind what's

00:53:18.880 --> 00:53:20.780
already been done. And I know he's using that

00:53:20.780 --> 00:53:26.199
as a leverage, a tactic to make them go, yeah,

00:53:26.260 --> 00:53:27.880
he's probably right. Let's not rule against it.

00:53:27.980 --> 00:53:30.659
Well, I think we need to have these tariffs.

00:53:30.699 --> 00:53:33.139
It would be tricky. Why the heck, I mean, and

00:53:33.139 --> 00:53:34.860
we've brought this up in this podcast before,

00:53:34.960 --> 00:53:37.440
the fact that the other countries are charging,

00:53:37.659 --> 00:53:40.119
they're not charging reciprocally the same. I

00:53:40.119 --> 00:53:42.039
mean, come on. It's unfair trade practices. Just

00:53:42.039 --> 00:53:44.340
charge the same. Just charge the same. So, I

00:53:44.340 --> 00:53:46.400
mean, I don't understand why that's such a, look,

00:53:46.480 --> 00:53:48.500
I get it. Some things are more expensive, but

00:53:48.500 --> 00:53:50.099
you know what? That's what they are. They're

00:53:50.099 --> 00:53:53.500
from another country. If you go and say, oh,

00:53:53.599 --> 00:53:55.440
what chocolate is that? It's German chocolate.

00:53:55.579 --> 00:53:57.519
Oh, that's German chocolate. It costs a little

00:53:57.519 --> 00:53:59.800
bit more. It's a little bit more deluxe. It's

00:53:59.800 --> 00:54:01.179
a little bit more refined. They've got all the

00:54:01.179 --> 00:54:02.780
good stuff in there. You know, that's what you

00:54:02.780 --> 00:54:04.860
pay for. You're paying for a higher caliber product.

00:54:05.139 --> 00:54:07.840
It's being imported. There's a tax that's associated

00:54:07.840 --> 00:54:11.380
with that import. Shut up. Pay it and move on.

00:54:11.500 --> 00:54:13.500
Oh, well, we can't do this anymore because we

00:54:13.500 --> 00:54:15.760
can't buy all our shit from China at a nickel.

00:54:15.900 --> 00:54:18.300
It's going to cost us eight cents now. Fuck off.

00:54:18.719 --> 00:54:20.739
Then you need to start buying your shit here

00:54:20.739 --> 00:54:23.280
in the United States. Right. That's the whole

00:54:23.280 --> 00:54:25.340
point. And this whole tariff thing has given

00:54:25.340 --> 00:54:29.059
the Trump administration massive leverage to

00:54:29.059 --> 00:54:32.019
get them to do other things as well. Right. I

00:54:32.019 --> 00:54:33.679
mean, not just the trade thing, but they were

00:54:33.679 --> 00:54:36.400
like, listen, if you don't get on board, like

00:54:36.400 --> 00:54:39.199
what he's doing about Iran. He's saying anybody

00:54:39.199 --> 00:54:40.940
who does business with Iran, I'm immediately

00:54:40.940 --> 00:54:45.579
putting 25 % tariff on. I mean, it's weird. It's

00:54:45.579 --> 00:54:47.800
weirdness because there's no precedent for the

00:54:47.800 --> 00:54:50.800
shit he's doing right now. But damn, it's effective

00:54:50.800 --> 00:54:54.079
leverage, man. It's effective. And they're like,

00:54:54.099 --> 00:54:55.860
whoa, whoa, whoa, don't do that. Nothing hits

00:54:55.860 --> 00:54:57.280
them harder than when you hit them in the pocket.

00:54:57.300 --> 00:55:01.639
And look, I got a shout out to the citizens of

00:55:01.639 --> 00:55:05.820
Iran. There's turmoil over there. And in the

00:55:05.820 --> 00:55:08.960
midst of that turmoil, there's a person that

00:55:08.960 --> 00:55:11.679
they're about to execute by hanging. Apparently

00:55:11.679 --> 00:55:14.179
they have killed up to 12 ,000 people so far.

00:55:14.519 --> 00:55:16.840
And I do believe that Trump is going to pull

00:55:16.840 --> 00:55:20.920
the trigger on doing some sort of Some military

00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:23.340
action. Man, that's a tough call, man. That's

00:55:23.340 --> 00:55:26.380
another Afghanistan thing. I don't know if I

00:55:26.380 --> 00:55:28.340
want to get involved in that because... No, he'll

00:55:28.340 --> 00:55:31.429
just... Bomb a bunch of places. He'll take out

00:55:31.429 --> 00:55:33.590
every military site he can think of. Strategic

00:55:33.590 --> 00:55:35.670
locations, I think. Strategic locations, and

00:55:35.670 --> 00:55:38.150
he'll pound them hard. Kind of like that Venezuelan

00:55:38.150 --> 00:55:40.489
thing. Good Lord. Do you hear the stories about

00:55:40.489 --> 00:55:43.110
that? Not just what had happened, but the way

00:55:43.110 --> 00:55:44.909
they did it with all the drones, and they had

00:55:44.909 --> 00:55:48.269
LiDAR. Is that called LiDAR, the sound? No, not

00:55:48.269 --> 00:55:51.110
LiDAR. It's a form of it, because it was a sound

00:55:51.110 --> 00:55:53.150
thing that kind of blasted out of them, made

00:55:53.150 --> 00:55:55.849
their nose bleed and shit. LiDAR is what you

00:55:55.849 --> 00:55:57.829
use with your iPad, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:55:57.849 --> 00:56:00.989
What is it called? It was some shockwave shit.

00:56:01.190 --> 00:56:03.690
It was sound is what it was. Yeah, it was crazy.

00:56:04.309 --> 00:56:07.710
It made them all sick, puke, and shit themselves.

00:56:08.210 --> 00:56:10.750
It incapacitated them. And that person, that

00:56:10.750 --> 00:56:14.389
eyewitness was like, man, do not screw around

00:56:14.389 --> 00:56:16.070
with the United States because they have some

00:56:16.070 --> 00:56:19.210
serious shit. Well, he said that they came down.

00:56:19.250 --> 00:56:22.610
Oh, it's Elrad. Elrad. He's never seen someone

00:56:22.610 --> 00:56:25.389
outfitted like that. He goes, they were so fast

00:56:25.389 --> 00:56:27.599
at shooting. that he thought they were shooting

00:56:27.599 --> 00:56:32.940
300 rounds a second. Yeah. Skill and technique

00:56:32.940 --> 00:56:36.760
and training. And that's another deterrent, man.

00:56:36.940 --> 00:56:40.760
Don't screw around. It's the whole fuck around

00:56:40.760 --> 00:56:42.159
and find out. He said that 20 guys took out like

00:56:42.159 --> 00:56:45.159
300. Yeah. I wonder if the cartel's butts puckered

00:56:45.159 --> 00:56:48.639
a little bit after that. I hope so. This should

00:56:48.639 --> 00:56:52.780
be our overwhelming force. Don't ever screw with

00:56:52.780 --> 00:56:55.489
the United States or... Or don't ever screw with

00:56:55.489 --> 00:56:57.670
things that the United States cares about because

00:56:57.670 --> 00:57:00.530
we will destroy you. That's what they need to

00:57:00.530 --> 00:57:02.389
include. It's a deterrent. The LRAD. I'm looking

00:57:02.389 --> 00:57:04.190
up at the screen Mr. Producer put up there. The

00:57:04.190 --> 00:57:07.190
LRAD acoustics. They need to have those attached

00:57:07.190 --> 00:57:11.309
to every vehicle where there's an ICE event going

00:57:11.309 --> 00:57:14.739
on. Can you imagine clearing out? That would

00:57:14.739 --> 00:57:16.920
break up anybody. It would break up everybody.

00:57:17.000 --> 00:57:18.860
You could shoot that thing down the street, and

00:57:18.860 --> 00:57:21.019
it'll go a couple hundred yards. It'll disperse

00:57:21.019 --> 00:57:22.679
everybody. Did everyone shit everywhere? Well,

00:57:22.739 --> 00:57:24.420
the problem is... Well, I mean, not to that point,

00:57:24.500 --> 00:57:27.440
maybe. I don't know. Have you... I mean, I guess

00:57:27.440 --> 00:57:30.300
if you have a large crowd that's gathered, you

00:57:30.300 --> 00:57:32.079
know, like hundreds of people, and yeah, you

00:57:32.079 --> 00:57:35.659
just kind of point it to them, but if it's just...

00:57:35.659 --> 00:57:37.400
Like, these people are following ice around,

00:57:37.579 --> 00:57:39.760
and they're in neighborhoods, and there's, like,

00:57:39.800 --> 00:57:42.119
people walking around, like... So how are they

00:57:42.119 --> 00:57:44.199
going to pick and choose who to shoot it at?

00:57:44.260 --> 00:57:46.219
Hey, man, look, if you're in the middle of the

00:57:46.219 --> 00:57:48.780
street. Oh, yeah, I get it. Then you know what?

00:57:48.820 --> 00:57:51.400
You're susceptible of getting smacked by the

00:57:51.400 --> 00:57:54.519
LiDAR acoustic sound wave. And it is what it

00:57:54.519 --> 00:57:56.059
is. I'm okay with it. People get out of the way.

00:57:56.139 --> 00:57:59.090
And you know what? It doesn't kill them. And

00:57:59.090 --> 00:58:02.949
they make them so that you can have controlled

00:58:02.949 --> 00:58:05.590
bursts. I think they're very directional as well.

00:58:05.670 --> 00:58:08.070
Oh, they're absolutely directional. I mean, they

00:58:08.070 --> 00:58:13.250
could shoot it at 10 degrees, and people at 15

00:58:13.250 --> 00:58:16.130
won't get hit with it. Right. Because these protesters

00:58:16.130 --> 00:58:20.190
in Minneapolis are creating extremely dangerous

00:58:20.190 --> 00:58:22.989
situations. We already saw it happen, right?

00:58:23.070 --> 00:58:25.880
The one lady gets shot in the head, right? Did

00:58:25.880 --> 00:58:28.739
she get shot in the head? Yes, she did. She lurched

00:58:28.739 --> 00:58:33.119
forward and bumped the officer. And he instinctively

00:58:33.119 --> 00:58:36.119
shot at her and shot her in the head. I'm kind

00:58:36.119 --> 00:58:38.820
of taking Greg Gutfeld's thing on this. I'm not

00:58:38.820 --> 00:58:40.980
going to comment on... We're not the investigators.

00:58:41.360 --> 00:58:44.860
No. We can have an opinion, but we don't know.

00:58:45.480 --> 00:58:46.980
They're going to investigate it. It's not our

00:58:46.980 --> 00:58:49.559
place to say he did this, she did that. Right.

00:58:49.920 --> 00:58:52.400
Whether it was justified or not. Correct. I mean,

00:58:52.440 --> 00:58:55.030
what I see, it looks like she... was hitting

00:58:55.030 --> 00:58:58.429
it but it's almost like it's like you know that

00:58:58.429 --> 00:59:00.829
that meme where it says you see the green dress

00:59:00.829 --> 00:59:03.210
or you see the blue dress right it's almost like

00:59:03.210 --> 00:59:05.429
that where these liberals are like oh she was

00:59:05.429 --> 00:59:07.130
clearly just kind of you're gonna see whatever

00:59:07.130 --> 00:59:09.710
you want to do in a 30 point turn to try to get

00:59:09.710 --> 00:59:14.849
out of there no whereas we are seeing her rushing

00:59:14.849 --> 00:59:17.929
and flooring it to try to hit him he got out

00:59:17.929 --> 00:59:20.929
of the way and shot right now does you know but

00:59:20.929 --> 00:59:23.559
there are a lot of people that have different

00:59:23.559 --> 00:59:27.400
opinions on it but i mean i've got mine i've

00:59:27.400 --> 00:59:30.800
seen some memes where they're clearly she gunned

00:59:30.800 --> 00:59:34.760
it and it hit him and they were like his foot

00:59:34.760 --> 00:59:37.659
slid so it wasn't sliding because he stepped

00:59:37.659 --> 00:59:41.820
it was he slid because the car hit him so i don't

00:59:41.820 --> 00:59:45.349
know man i know i know she's dead And that's

00:59:45.349 --> 00:59:47.469
the thing that sucks. It's like, I don't want

00:59:47.469 --> 00:59:49.329
somebody like that to be shot, but she clearly

00:59:49.329 --> 00:59:51.710
put herself in harm's way. Well, the only good

00:59:51.710 --> 00:59:53.469
thing that came out of it, we realized that white

00:59:53.469 --> 00:59:57.230
lives matter now. Right. All right, so we've

00:59:57.230 --> 01:00:00.030
got, we're trying something a little bit different,

01:00:00.130 --> 01:00:06.050
man. Yeah, this is, I want to have a shout out

01:00:06.050 --> 01:00:09.929
to Sandra, the lady I work with bought this,

01:00:10.050 --> 01:00:14.409
and she loved the bottle. That's hilarious. Well,

01:00:14.429 --> 01:00:16.010
it is a wonderful looking bottle. It's beautiful.

01:00:16.230 --> 01:00:18.309
And she bought it for her husband, but her husband

01:00:18.309 --> 01:00:20.170
doesn't drink this. So he's like, I won't drink

01:00:20.170 --> 01:00:24.590
it. So she knew that we drink whiskey. So she

01:00:24.590 --> 01:00:25.949
brought it in. She goes, I just want the bottle

01:00:25.949 --> 01:00:29.760
back. And it's Johnny Walker Blue Label. This

01:00:29.760 --> 01:00:32.019
is the Texas edition. Yeah, it's Texas. They

01:00:32.019 --> 01:00:34.780
got a little rodeo cowboy. It says, I heart Texas

01:00:34.780 --> 01:00:38.340
in the stands. Longhorns on the side. Keep walking

01:00:38.340 --> 01:00:41.320
ranch. I mean, it's pretty cool. It's got like

01:00:41.320 --> 01:00:45.360
sceneries. It's got the west portion of Texas

01:00:45.360 --> 01:00:51.179
because it's got the windmills and the oil rigs.

01:00:51.360 --> 01:00:54.019
It's cool. And the blue bonnets. And the blue

01:00:54.019 --> 01:00:56.559
bonnets, yeah. So I got to tell you, first out

01:00:56.559 --> 01:01:00.000
of the bottle, I got to tell you, You take the

01:01:00.000 --> 01:01:02.559
bottle. It has a wonderful sound. I know it sounds

01:01:02.559 --> 01:01:04.760
crazy, but just the sound itself. Look, I'm going

01:01:04.760 --> 01:01:09.659
to open this up. I mean, that is a fantastic

01:01:09.659 --> 01:01:11.739
sound. And when you put it back in, it's like.

01:01:13.480 --> 01:01:17.199
I mean, look, you get a lot of bottles. You can

01:01:17.199 --> 01:01:19.280
probably recreate that sound with a number of

01:01:19.280 --> 01:01:21.380
things that we probably don't want to talk about.

01:01:21.659 --> 01:01:23.659
I imagine you can, but sticking around. Well,

01:01:24.179 --> 01:01:26.420
you know what? It doesn't matter. But right there,

01:01:26.519 --> 01:01:28.039
when you open the bottle right before we're pouring

01:01:28.039 --> 01:01:29.760
it out there, you get that wonderful sound because

01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:31.619
it kind of sets the tone. Okay, well, what are

01:01:31.619 --> 01:01:33.000
we getting? Because a lot of these whiskeys that

01:01:33.000 --> 01:01:35.440
you get, you're kind of like, oh, it's got a

01:01:35.440 --> 01:01:37.440
plastic cork. It's just like, oh, it's a twist

01:01:37.440 --> 01:01:41.000
cap. This one has a nice cork. It pops out. It's

01:01:41.000 --> 01:01:43.059
a heavy one. It's Johnny Walker. It's Blue Label.

01:01:43.369 --> 01:01:47.110
And it's 80 proof. It's 80 proof. It is super

01:01:47.110 --> 01:01:49.510
easy to drink. It is. Very nice. Yeah, it is

01:01:49.510 --> 01:01:51.949
extremely tasty. This is my first Johnny Walker.

01:01:52.150 --> 01:01:55.250
I know this is, I don't think it's their highest,

01:01:55.469 --> 01:01:59.269
but I think it's mid -tier. This was about $230,

01:02:00.130 --> 01:02:03.190
$250 for this bottle. Amazing. That'd be tough

01:02:03.190 --> 01:02:05.449
for me to ever spend something like that. Yeah.

01:02:05.510 --> 01:02:08.289
Well, the Johnny Walker Blue, I think. $200 and

01:02:08.289 --> 01:02:09.929
something dollars on a bottle like this? Yeah.

01:02:10.750 --> 01:02:14.280
80 proof. No way. I mean, a lot of people do.

01:02:14.400 --> 01:02:17.320
A lot of people like the Johnny Walker. It tastes

01:02:17.320 --> 01:02:19.719
great. I mean, it comes in a family. Because

01:02:19.719 --> 01:02:22.820
when I was bartending younger, you had Red Label.

01:02:22.820 --> 01:02:25.659
Red Label was supposed to be the starter. You

01:02:25.659 --> 01:02:28.019
know, Red Label, I'll take Red and Coke. And

01:02:28.019 --> 01:02:31.659
then Black Label, I'll take Black and Soda. And

01:02:31.659 --> 01:02:37.760
then they had the green. It was titanium or,

01:02:37.780 --> 01:02:40.400
hold on, platinum. Maybe it was platinum. Platinum

01:02:40.400 --> 01:02:42.179
was kind of like, oh, my God. And then the blue

01:02:42.179 --> 01:02:44.420
label came out. I was like, oh, well, I stopped

01:02:44.420 --> 01:02:46.739
drinking it after that point. That was a long

01:02:46.739 --> 01:02:49.719
time ago. That was my early 20s. Right. So there

01:02:49.719 --> 01:02:53.840
is a slightly smoky finish. A little bit. Slightly.

01:02:54.159 --> 01:02:56.780
And now is that peated? Does that mean it's peated

01:02:56.780 --> 01:02:58.820
or is it just basically a smoky finish? I don't

01:02:58.820 --> 01:03:02.280
know. I'm a scotch noob. Me too. I don't know

01:03:02.280 --> 01:03:03.440
too much about scotch. We're going to have to

01:03:03.440 --> 01:03:10.860
start. Based on what the Google says, as far

01:03:10.860 --> 01:03:13.199
as the taste, key characteristics, smoothness

01:03:13.199 --> 01:03:15.119
known for, it's exceptionally smooth, which it

01:03:15.119 --> 01:03:17.780
is. It has the traditional single malt taste,

01:03:17.860 --> 01:03:20.320
which we've tasted in some of the Texas single

01:03:20.320 --> 01:03:22.019
malts, which are fantastic. It does have that

01:03:22.019 --> 01:03:26.659
spice, smoke from the initial sweetness, complex

01:03:26.659 --> 01:03:29.760
layers. They unfold after every tiny little sip.

01:03:30.489 --> 01:03:32.449
I'm kind of curious. Would you drink that stuff?

01:03:32.670 --> 01:03:35.969
Does it affect your taste? It cleanses the palate

01:03:35.969 --> 01:03:39.969
for me. I'm sure it does impact it some. A blend

01:03:39.969 --> 01:03:42.690
of rare hand -selected whiskeys from Exceptional.

01:03:42.710 --> 01:03:45.429
Is this a blend? Yeah, it's a blend. So this

01:03:45.429 --> 01:03:48.710
is a blend. Okay. A blended scotch whiskey. Look.

01:03:49.349 --> 01:03:52.070
It gets better with every sip. Yeah, it's good.

01:03:52.250 --> 01:03:55.510
It is really good. And the problem is, it's good.

01:03:55.829 --> 01:03:58.449
It's really good. And it's only 80 proof. And

01:03:58.449 --> 01:04:02.840
to me, That is crushable. Yeah. To Paul's point,

01:04:02.960 --> 01:04:06.019
I don't know if I'd spend $250 on this bottle.

01:04:06.400 --> 01:04:09.739
You can get it for $170, $150. Or even still,

01:04:09.800 --> 01:04:13.699
I don't know. Again, I don't know what to compare

01:04:13.699 --> 01:04:16.239
it to as far as scotches, so I don't know how

01:04:16.239 --> 01:04:18.800
it compares to other scotches out there. That

01:04:18.800 --> 01:04:21.099
may be just as good for half the price. I don't

01:04:21.099 --> 01:04:23.380
know. But this particular one, it's a commemorative

01:04:23.380 --> 01:04:26.920
one, and it's got some wonderful artwork on there,

01:04:26.980 --> 01:04:28.880
and I don't blame her for wanting that back.

01:04:29.879 --> 01:04:32.000
What's she going to do with it? Put a plant in

01:04:32.000 --> 01:04:34.099
it? Yes, she said she was going to put a plant

01:04:34.099 --> 01:04:35.780
in it. Very cool. Or flowers or something. Yeah,

01:04:35.780 --> 01:04:37.820
it's beautiful. All right, let's rate it. Maybe

01:04:37.820 --> 01:04:40.980
we ought to have it lasered, put our Dudes Like

01:04:40.980 --> 01:04:43.039
Us podcast drink on there. That'd be kind of

01:04:43.039 --> 01:04:44.599
funny. Oh, she'd love that. Just burn all those

01:04:44.599 --> 01:04:47.179
blues, like sand all that off. No, no, no, no.

01:04:47.199 --> 01:04:49.219
We'll take it to an engraver, have them engrave

01:04:49.219 --> 01:04:51.179
it. I think that'd be kind of cool. I don't think

01:04:51.179 --> 01:04:53.159
she'd like that. She would not like that. Or

01:04:53.159 --> 01:04:55.780
maybe she would. I doubt it. So again, I mean.

01:04:56.740 --> 01:04:58.619
Comparing this to some other single malts, I

01:04:58.619 --> 01:05:02.280
don't know if we can do that. I'm going to compare

01:05:02.280 --> 01:05:06.059
it to the Balconia single malts and even the

01:05:06.059 --> 01:05:10.039
Wolves. In my opinion, I think those are punchier,

01:05:10.099 --> 01:05:14.500
have more depth and taste. This one is produced

01:05:14.500 --> 01:05:20.880
on a large scale, and so it's a blend. It's excellent.

01:05:23.199 --> 01:05:25.800
Let's start there, but it doesn't have the deep.

01:05:26.159 --> 01:05:28.679
rich taste that some of these other american

01:05:28.679 --> 01:05:30.900
single malts are producing right now i think

01:05:30.900 --> 01:05:33.820
it's very comparative to some of the traditional

01:05:33.820 --> 01:05:37.119
scotches out there as opposed to the single malts

01:05:37.119 --> 01:05:39.599
scotch is a different animal uh being in the

01:05:39.599 --> 01:05:41.699
scotch family we got to separate that then right

01:05:41.699 --> 01:05:46.139
so scotch this is our first scotch right uh no

01:05:46.139 --> 01:05:49.340
do we have an irish scotch yeah we have a couple

01:05:49.340 --> 01:05:51.500
out there we need to try them i'm gonna give

01:05:51.500 --> 01:05:55.300
this a seven and a half yeah it's a tough call

01:05:56.069 --> 01:05:59.849
I really like it. I think the price brought my

01:05:59.849 --> 01:06:04.010
number down some. Yeah. But in terms of a quality

01:06:04.010 --> 01:06:08.250
scotch, I would probably go an 8 .1. I mean,

01:06:08.269 --> 01:06:13.769
this is excellent. I mean, but again, we'd have

01:06:13.769 --> 01:06:16.269
to try. If we tried like 10 other scotches, would

01:06:16.269 --> 01:06:18.670
this one blow those away? That's what I mean.

01:06:18.769 --> 01:06:21.869
My 7 .5, they'd be low. Yeah. All right. Well,

01:06:21.909 --> 01:06:23.289
I'll tell you what. We need to stick a pin in

01:06:23.289 --> 01:06:25.650
this because I'm going to say six, nine, six,

01:06:25.730 --> 01:06:27.750
eight. And I'm going to stick a pin in this because

01:06:27.750 --> 01:06:31.010
I think I'm being unfair and because I have tasted

01:06:31.010 --> 01:06:33.429
some other scotches and I know those other scotches

01:06:33.429 --> 01:06:37.530
are way worse than this one. So that's kind of

01:06:37.530 --> 01:06:40.869
an unfair thing. But as a starting point, I'm

01:06:40.869 --> 01:06:42.630
sticking with eight one. I think it's that that

01:06:42.630 --> 01:06:46.170
tasty. Tell you what. There's a sweetness that

01:06:46.170 --> 01:06:50.489
gets on the lips. Yes. And it's it's. It's not

01:06:50.489 --> 01:06:56.469
the finish. But it's on the lips when you're

01:06:56.469 --> 01:07:01.389
drinking and you get it. I really like it. It's

01:07:01.389 --> 01:07:05.170
really good. Dried fruits. It tastes a little

01:07:05.170 --> 01:07:08.670
hazelnut in there. A little dark chocolate. I

01:07:08.670 --> 01:07:09.969
don't know. It's hard for me to pick stuff out

01:07:09.969 --> 01:07:16.179
of scotch. I guess smoke. Like a cigar or is

01:07:16.179 --> 01:07:18.219
this like a barbecue? No, no, no. Very, very

01:07:18.219 --> 01:07:21.519
slight, but it's still wonderful. So it's great.

01:07:22.039 --> 01:07:24.539
What do you think, Chuck? I'm not a huge fan.

01:07:25.159 --> 01:07:27.940
Really? Yeah. I don't think you're a scotch fan

01:07:27.940 --> 01:07:29.960
anyway, right? I used to be a big scotch fan,

01:07:30.079 --> 01:07:33.400
right? The first couple sips were almost I couldn't

01:07:33.400 --> 01:07:36.239
drink it. It got sweeter. It got more mellow

01:07:36.239 --> 01:07:39.400
as I had more of it. I still taste the same things

01:07:39.400 --> 01:07:41.340
that I got out of the first one. So I'm going

01:07:41.340 --> 01:07:47.500
to, you know. six seven six eight it's not interesting

01:07:47.500 --> 01:07:51.420
and you and you're a i use i used to and i it's

01:07:51.420 --> 01:07:53.059
probably because i'm not used to drinking a lot

01:07:53.059 --> 01:07:55.860
of scotch you know anymore but i used to okay

01:07:55.860 --> 01:07:58.440
it's because the the fantastic whiskeys we've

01:07:58.440 --> 01:08:00.440
been getting has oh dude it's hard to compete

01:08:00.440 --> 01:08:03.420
with your palate your palate changes yeah oh

01:08:03.420 --> 01:08:04.960
yeah especially lately we've been trying all

01:08:04.960 --> 01:08:07.739
these crazy ones since yeah all these buddies

01:08:07.739 --> 01:08:09.639
are letting us share. Can you find out how many

01:08:09.639 --> 01:08:11.360
bottles they made of this? Because we have bottle

01:08:11.360 --> 01:08:15.440
6 ,977. I think they said 10 ,000. No, they chose

01:08:15.440 --> 01:08:18.119
one barrel out of 10 ,000 to make this with.

01:08:18.479 --> 01:08:22.180
So they specifically selected it for this blend.

01:08:22.439 --> 01:08:25.920
But you said 6 ,000 bottles? Well, it says bottle

01:08:25.920 --> 01:08:29.100
number 6 ,977 unless that stands for something

01:08:29.100 --> 01:08:32.090
other than... Well, you know what? Then maybe

01:08:32.090 --> 01:08:35.550
that is... Maybe their barrel is not a barrel.

01:08:35.609 --> 01:08:37.829
Maybe it's a cask. You know, those big old metal

01:08:37.829 --> 01:08:44.350
ones? Put Texas on there. It has to be a limited

01:08:44.350 --> 01:08:49.569
release. It has to be. Yeah. I don't know. I'm

01:08:49.569 --> 01:08:52.069
thinking at least... It says, while other Blue

01:08:52.069 --> 01:08:54.409
Label limited releases have very low counts,

01:08:54.489 --> 01:08:57.590
i .e. 100 bottles, the Texas edition focused

01:08:57.590 --> 01:09:01.069
on design... variety rather than extreme scarcity

01:09:01.069 --> 01:09:04.590
so who knows i don't know yeah this doesn't really

01:09:04.590 --> 01:09:08.090
say no it doesn't all right so ai said johnny

01:09:23.130 --> 01:09:30.500
in its rare blend this is the 2023 Definitely

01:09:30.500 --> 01:09:34.119
enjoyable. Yeah, I enjoy it. I'm very glad we

01:09:34.119 --> 01:09:35.239
have it. Yeah, I didn't know what to expect.

01:09:35.359 --> 01:09:38.739
I know Johnny Walker Blue, a lot of people want

01:09:38.739 --> 01:09:42.520
that. But again, I haven't had a lot. That's

01:09:42.520 --> 01:09:44.000
the first Johnny Walker I've ever had. I wouldn't

01:09:44.000 --> 01:09:47.819
dump $2 .50 on it, but who knows? Maybe after

01:09:47.819 --> 01:09:51.699
we drink a couple dozen different scotches. Real

01:09:51.699 --> 01:09:54.739
quick, Chuck, can you scroll back down? Keep

01:09:54.739 --> 01:09:57.550
going. No, no, on the other way. Other way. At

01:09:57.550 --> 01:10:00.510
the top of this one. Oh, I guess you moved away

01:10:00.510 --> 01:10:04.090
from it. It had four bottles that were all part

01:10:04.090 --> 01:10:06.869
of this Texas. Oh, so different designs. There,

01:10:06.869 --> 01:10:08.789
right there. I think those are the four sides.

01:10:08.810 --> 01:10:11.430
Oh, it's the same bottle? Yeah, it's just a landscape.

01:10:11.430 --> 01:10:13.750
All right, tell your friend to buy all the varieties

01:10:13.750 --> 01:10:16.210
so that she can have all the bottles, and then

01:10:16.210 --> 01:10:18.369
we'll drink them for her. Yeah. Can you do that?

01:10:18.550 --> 01:10:21.090
It's the same bottle. No, but I think there are

01:10:21.090 --> 01:10:25.130
other designs. No. There's the train. No, okay.

01:10:25.689 --> 01:10:27.130
That's the picture you're looking at. But what

01:10:27.130 --> 01:10:29.670
I just read is that they're focusing on making

01:10:29.670 --> 01:10:33.649
different design bottles. Oh, yes. This is the

01:10:33.649 --> 01:10:36.750
Texas one, and they're maybe like an Australian

01:10:36.750 --> 01:10:39.329
one or something. I see what you mean. Yes, that's

01:10:39.329 --> 01:10:41.289
what I meant. So have her buy all of those, and

01:10:41.289 --> 01:10:43.430
we'll drink them more. All right. Excellent.

01:10:44.010 --> 01:10:49.069
Cool. Anything else? I think we're good. Shout

01:10:49.069 --> 01:10:51.810
out to anybody? What's her name again? Sandra.

01:10:52.329 --> 01:10:54.329
Thank you, Sandra. Thank you very much, Sandra.

01:10:55.790 --> 01:10:59.869
Great tasting scotch. The Johnny Walker Blue

01:10:59.869 --> 01:11:03.489
Label. Try this out. I'll make a video short

01:11:03.489 --> 01:11:07.729
of that. You had like eight pours. Yeah, what

01:11:07.729 --> 01:11:12.229
the hell, man? You're on a bad trend of just

01:11:12.229 --> 01:11:15.529
kind of overpouring the rare shit. I poured just

01:11:15.529 --> 01:11:18.310
a little bit more. It wasn't even an ounce. Oh,

01:11:18.329 --> 01:11:21.510
boy. I need to add this to Only Drams. No, there's

01:11:21.510 --> 01:11:23.369
no barcode. Must be in the box. First half of
