Yes, yes, yes, yes. I looked into that. I mentioned
it in the first half. Let's get a look on my
phone. Those are expensive as fuck to get the
digital ones. We don't need a digital one. What's
wrong with you? You really were going to buy
a digital one? I was until I found out how much
they cost, and then I was like, yeah. Chuck's
going to fix our... We're about seven minutes
and 30 seconds overdue. All right, second half
of the Dudes Like Us podcast. Today is what?
The January 20th? It is. It is Donald Trump one
year anniversary. It is? He's 25 % done. Yeah,
25 % done. And he's got a hell of a lot more
to go. And how do you guys feel he is doing?
A+. Yeah. Seriously? A plus? Yeah. What about
you, Jeff? I don't know about A plus, but he's
probably an A, B plus to an A. B plus to an A.
What are you? Yeah, I mean, I would say, I don't
want to say A +, because it's extraordinary,
but I would say he's an A for sure, because he's
beaten that drum of everything that he worked
for, all the shit that was on his platform. Everything
that he said he was going to do, he's going to
do. He did so much that everybody forgets. I
know, I know. I mean, the Gulf of America. Gulf
of America, baby. I'm going to go B plus, A minus.
We're not even talking about Maduro anymore.
The Hamas hostages. I mean, it's endless. Dude,
he's freaking up Iran right now. Dude, he will
strike them. I'm pretty sure. He had it called.
The plan was on, and he called it off and said.
Somebody opened up a back channel and says, don't
do this yet. And you know what? I think that's
all smoke and mirrors. And I think Israel clearly
crossed Trump's red line. And he can't not. There's
no way he doesn't act. And I think it's smoke
and mirrors to delay for the strike that he wants
to do. So he will strike them. I'm fairly confident.
Well, we'll see what happens, man. There's a
lot on his plate. There's a lot he's doing. He's
in Switzerland right now, I think, and then he's
going to go to Greenland or Denmark after that
to chat about, hey, how you doing about Greenland?
It's January 20th, the second half of the Dudes
Like Us podcast. Check us out on Facebook and
Instagram. Chuck, our producer, is at the helm
taking care of business. I saw the whiskey we're
drinking today. Man, it's going to be so good.
And we have videos now. So if you haven't gone
to YouTube and checked out our videos and seen
the videos on Instagram, check them out. Check
them out. What other places does the video populate?
What other places does that video populate other
than YouTube? Nowhere. I don't believe it does.
Just YouTube, I think. We need to do the TikTok.
As much as I am anti -TikTok right now, actually,
it changes hands. Yeah, it's an American company
now. Not yet. I think the 21st or the 26th. That's
tomorrow. Yeah, it's either tomorrow or next
week that it changes hands. There we go. I'll
jump on that, unless you guys want to take it,
you know, because it's just, I mean, I'm always
on the social media. Dudes Like Us, I'm Sean.
I'm Paul. And I'm Joe. And I am always on the
social media, the Instagram stuff. I mean, I'm
constantly liking, I'm constantly poking people,
reacting to things, and I don't know how you
guys are doing it. I don't know if you're jumping
on there. I'm not at all, actually. I need to.
I'm not at all either, other than posting videos.
But I did see the comments about, Bonnie Blue
is not even American. You Americans are all the
same. She's British. Okay, you can claim that
whore. Whoa! Well, she is. Well, she fucked a
thousand guys in a day. What would you call her?
Used? Insecure? Probably, yes. Probably, yes.
Okay. Lacked a good father figure? Maybe. It's
ridiculous. Oh, yeah. Can you imagine that? There's
no tightening that up. I mean, those struts are
bent. She's a vaginoplasty. Or labioplasty. Okay,
let's start with the plastic arm. Oh, gross.
It's like a blue whale. Blue whale. Jesus Christ.
I know. What are you guys doing with this? We
were talking about something. We were talking
about Trump. Then we got into vaginas. Wow. I
do want to say one thing that's interesting that
Trump's doing. This Board of Peace. Have you
heard about this? No. Is it like a board? Like
a whiteboard? He is forming. Guys, get this.
This is very interesting. He is forming a Board
of Peace. Are you listening, Jeff? I am. And
the point of this is to not circumvent, but to
be a competitor of the United Nations. He's forming
this board to like, you know, hey, we want peace
in Gaza. So all these countries are piling on
board to be a board, part of this board of peace.
But he's wanting to make this the competitor
of the UN. A new international body led by Trump
to oversee Gaza's reconstruction of governance,
but its charter suggests broader global ambitions.
Yep. Offering permanent seats for the countries
willing to pay a... billion in cash for rebuilding
funds. One million dollars. While initially focused
on Gaza's post -conflict phase, including the
demilitarization and the technocratic administration,
the board aims to be a prestigious new platform
for international affairs, potentially challenging
existing structures like the UN, with members
like Hungary and Vietnam accepting invitations.
Isn't that crazy? Lee Greenwood will be on it
in a week. He's literally trying to create an
alternative to the UN because the UN is done.
Oh, it's corrupt as hell. It is worthless. And
Mike Lindell, he'll be on it. What were you going
to say? I was going to say what countries have
signed on so far. A whole bunch? Look it up.
Look it up, Chuck. I haven't heard of this before.
I know. This is all brand new, dude. So, you
know, the UN has that big building in New York
City. Does that mean? What do we call it? The
BP? Are they going to have a building as well?
Well, I mean, the UN... They'll probably kick
the UN out. The UN may get dissolved. I mean,
look, if everyone's pulling out of it, I mean,
look, if the United States pulls out... They're
not pulling out of it. They're simply getting
on board with this board of peace. We'll see
where it goes, though. But the United States
can pull out, though, because, look, the UN is
a corrupt bunch of... button nuggets. It's crazy.
You know, just the amount of money. Look, what
the UN did during the crisis of COVID was criminal.
Yes, I agree. You know, with working with the
World Health Organization and the CDC and just
the whole line of communication and how they
manipulated the system. And you know how some
bitch came? It was a... About the water? Yeah,
the water. It was a Klaus Straub. What's his
name? Klaus. Klaus. Klaus. Klaus. Sorry. Sorry,
I had a seizure. I mean, look, he fell out of
the limelight. Someone pounced on him for corruption.
Schwab. It is Schwab. Gross. Someone pounced
on him for corruption, and what happened? He
bounced out of the limelight. Nothing ever. No
repercussions. No consequences. Yeah, and it
was like really kind of just all hush -hush.
It's a common denominator with every god -blessing
thing that happens with these representatives.
Well, what I'm curious, you say Trump's going
to Davos, right? Well, that's where Schwab and
all that bullshit happens. Oh, yeah. Those are
the elite of the elite. This is where the water
comments come. That's where Schwab had his power.
I'm curious to see if Trump goes in there and
just wrecks everything. I think he will. Dude,
you know he's a wrecking ball. He's going to
go up there and just call them out. Miley Cyrus
is going to be singing, he came in like a wrecking
ball. Boom. Breaking those barriers. And he will.
He is so critical of the UN. I mean, when he
was talking about this board of peace, he was
like, you know, dogging the UN. Clearly, he wants
this to be... I think the UN had its place 50
years ago. Yeah. Then for those... The UN, United
Nations. I was thinking North America. NATO.
NATO has its problems too, man. I'm not sure
NATO is relevant anymore. I think we need to
take a good look at what NATO stands for, what
it's for, who's contributing, who's contributing
to the defense fund on that whole thing. And
the United States was picking up the tab on the
majority of it, 85 % of it. Probably more than
that. Fuck them. Exactly. What are we getting
out of it? What's the point of it? The spirit
of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was
to protect the neighboring... from the domino
theory of communism coming in. I get it. From
Russia. Yeah, from Soviet Union. I get it. That
was what it was for, and now it's not so much.
Yeah, well, now fucking Turkey's a part of NATO.
Turkey. Yeah. Yeah, how's that going to work?
So, like, if Turkey does something to somebody
else and they attack Turkey back, are we obligated
to defend Turkey? Well, that's only if it's...
They're not our ally, by the way. Only if it's
Putin. Right. Turkey is not our ally. So the
enemy of my enemy is my friend. You know what?
No, fuck all that. I think that we would do best
to pull ourselves. We don't need to be involved
in the NATO. We don't need to. We only did that
because we were trying to be philanthropist.
We wanted to help out. We wanted to be a positive
influence on Europe and help them throughout
this stuff. And support them. But you know what?
We're spent. We are hosts. This is the matrix.
And we are, the United States citizens are the
ones that are picking up the tab on the world.
Yeah, I agree. I think what needs to happen is
like what Trump did, I think it was his first
term where he basically says, yeah, we're done.
You guys need to step up and start paying your
way. Yes. And if he continues down that path,
and he may have already done this, you know,
our dues are $500 million a year, then we're
done. Everyone else needs to pony up. You guys
are going to be out of money. And they are. They
have stepped up. Some have significantly stepped
up. But not enough. It's in their charter. They
have to spend like some percentage of their GDP.
Toward defense, right? Toward defense. And like
none of them were. Like two were. And now I think
the number is growing. I would still pull out.
There's no reason for us to be in there. If we
don't need to be in there, be done with it. And
furthermore. With the whole NATO program and
the fact that Trump is pouncing on Greenland.
And most likely, he's going to be discussing
that. Is it tomorrow he's going to Greenland?
Yeah, something like that. I think he's going
to. Dude, look. I know this controversy. And
Greenland is, aren't they like a fascist or a
communistic country? No. No. Not at all. What
do you mean? They're a protectorate of Denmark,
right? Right. Oh, you mean Denmark? Is Denmark?
You're asking if Denmark is that right? Yeah,
Denmark. No. They're a monarchy, right? They
are a monarchy. They have a king. Well, they
do, but it's kind of like Britain, right? So
they have a regular - It's a figurehead. Is it,
though? What'd you say? It's a figurehead? Yeah,
I think so. But do they have a - Government?
Yeah, I mean, they do, of course. But look, I'm
not real familiar with how Denmark is set up,
but I do know that when Trump shows up, it's
a no -brainer. I mean, why does Denmark even
have control of Greenland? Because it's been
a colony since like the late 1700s. Yeah. It's
retarded, to be honest. And look, the only reason
that these people are giving Trump a hard time
about this is because it's Trump. And it's because,
look, we have attempted to take Greenland or
at least solicit the idea of doing it five times
in history. At least five times. Oh, really?
Like way before Trump, you're saying? Oh, yeah.
In World War II, we were the protectors of Greenland
because Denmark couldn't do it because they were
occupied. And then we came up with an agreement.
In 1918, there was a guy from Denmark. I think
his last name was Buchanan. And Buchanan was
a political figure. And then they later tried
him for treason. But he came up with an agreement
with the United States. Yes, you can do whatever
you want on our Greenland. Just protect us. Protect
us from what's going on. And then they later
charged him for treason for doing that. And then
later on, they dissolved it. I think it was Truman
that dissolved it afterward. I mean, this whole
thing stinks of colonialism. I mean, come on.
Really? Denmark, this tiny, easy -beasy little
country in Europe is controlling this. Huge.
The largest island in the world. Bitch, please.
Which is right off the coast of North America.
Get the hell out of here. We're taking it, and
you know what? We're sorry. Sorry, not sorry.
And I think what he's doing, that's his strategy,
right? He comes in hot, gets you all ruffled,
and gets you all bent out of shape, and then
he's like, okay. I see us putting a base on there
and some kind of operations to be able to mine,
and that's what we're going to end up doing.
And a base to do our golden dome. Correct. Yeah.
Put the base on there and then have the rights
to be able to mine because it's also the rare
earth that we want as well. So look at this map.
Look at this map. What is directly on the other
side? If you drew a line from the top of the
United States straight across Greenland, what
does it hit on the other side? Well, the north
part of Russia. That's right. So do you see the
problem that Trump has here? That's where all
their bases are. Yes. Yeah, they're all up there.
You see the problem. Yeah, they're all lined
up on that. If he wants to create a Golden Dome
that protects the United States. That's where
the oil pipeline is at, too, by the way. Correct.
He has to control the Arctic. He has to have
bases in Greenland, significant missile defense
Golden Dome bases in Greenland. And if Denmark's
going to say no, then he's going to take Greenland.
Do you see the point here? It's also China looking
for Arctic domination as well. China and Russia.
They're both looking to get on there. And who's
going to stop them? Denmark's not. That's going
to be an all -out war. Now, we need to go in
now, and we need to figure it out. And that's
what Trump is doing. He's the master of the art
of the deal. So why are they calling Greenland
an island? It is the largest island in the world
is what I read today. Why is that an island and
Australia is not? Because it's a continent. Do
you have any other questions at this point? That
doesn't answer me anything. All right, Mr. Geography.
Plug that in the system. Hold on a second. I
mean, I don't know. Maybe there's a reason because
of the - Is there a size thing? Size, or is it
on the way it's positioned on a continental plate
or something like that? I guess you could argue
that Africa is an island. Exactly. I mean, what
classifies it as an island? So Greenland is an
economy because it sits on the North American
tectonic plate, unlike Australia, which rests
on its own distinct plate, and it lacks the unique
flora, fauna, and distinct cultural separation
that historically define continents for what
they are, being considered a massive island politically
linked to Europe, but geographically part of
North America. which definitions vary Greenland.
So it has to do with the continental plate is
why it's an island. Well, and the other characteristics
of what defines an island, which you said is
segregated. Plants and animals and stuff. Well,
there's none really on Greenland, right? Oh,
there are. Yeah, there's the Greenland. Well,
they have 55 ,000 people that live on the island
of Greenland. I know. And it's cold as shit.
And Trump's going to give, they're proposing,
$700 billion is what's on the table. Oh, to buy
Greenland from Denmark? Well, that is being presumptuous
that they're going to buy it. I'm thinking that
there'll be some cohabitation in it. Like I said,
I think we're going to have a base and we're
going to have some kind of operations where companies
are going to be able to go in there and mine.
Yeah, of course. I mean, they've got tons of
precious metals there. Greenland is the home
of large deposits of petroleum. Rare earth minerals.
United States Geological Survey estimates that
Greenland waters could hold 17 .5 billion barrels
of offshore crude oil, 4 .19 trillion cubic meters
of natural gas. The island has the largest deposits
of rare earth elements outside of China. I want
to live there. I do too. Actually, I was on Zillow
yesterday. Shelly and I are going to buy some
property in Greenland. I'd like to buy a small
little piece of, was that a face right there?
Look to the left. Those are each going for $3
million. Is that a little face on the rock? Three
million each in these little tiny homes. That
is a little rock with a face. Is that Easter
Island? Isn't that the Easter Island rock that
we're looking at right there? I think it's ancient.
I think it's probably at least 10 ,000 years
old. That is ancient. That's like a cave that
came out of a cave. If you look at the paint
that is on both those houses behind it, it's
clearly leftover paint from that house. Well,
are we sure? This is random exploration that
Chuck is doing here. Just for the record, we
found this smiley face rock first on Dudes Like
Us. All right, go, Jeff. What are you going to
say? I was going to say, I think it's ancient
rock. It is. It's Easter Island stuff. Hold on.
It's ancient rock. Kind of like your iron pole.
Yes. That was man -made, by the way. You zoom
in and you find a rock with a smiley face on
it. What are the odds? That's my nickname. Oh,
look at these people. So, look, I don't know
what the lifestyle is. I don't know what the
culture is on Greenland. Yeah, it's cold. Looks
muddy. What is it? I mean, is it Muslim? Is it
Christian? I mean, do they have... Malls, do
they, I mean, is it kind of like Alaska? They
just eat fish. Look up the culture of Greenland.
We don't know anything about it except it's the
largest freaking island on the planet. It is
fucking ice. Right. And how deep is the ice?
I'm curious because they say there are rivers
that run under the ice over the land, but under
the ice, which makes it still a river. It's still
a river to some degree. Yeah, but I read something
like it has ice deposits or ice formations that
are like. They're 50 million years old. They're
Inuits. Oh, so you go over there and you take
a lighter and you melt some of that ice. It's
prehistoric, which could release some sort of
unknown virus that becomes airborne and travels.
Oh, my God. You need to read the more Sigma Force
books. That's in there. Oh, my God. Dang it.
See, I could have written those books. You geeks.
You're supposed to look up the culture, not looking
for people. It is. They're Inuits. They're Inuit.
Okay, well, and what does that mean? Like Eskimos.
Like Eskimos. And what's their religion? See,
it's right there. They worship seals? Come Inuit.
They're Inuits. God, stop it. They're not Christians.
It says it right there. I know, but you saying
it like that just makes it dirty. Well, how are
you supposed to say it? I don't believe they're
Christians or anything like that. The Inuit culture
in Greenland. Let's see, an exciting mix of various
immigrating peoples and their ability to adapt
to the Arctic challenges on the world's largest
island. Yeah. All right, so it's a land of the
people without any people. Okay. The culture
of smelling of forests. Okay. Yeah, that would
be something that Jeff would groom. Smell this.
Smell it. Scratch and sniff. I'd smell that.
Okay. That's funny. Very nice. All right, well,
we don't know much about it, but apparently it's
going to be our 51st state, so we better start
being friendly to them. I don't think so. I don't
think it's going to be a state. Yeah, and here's
the thing, because look, what else do we got?
We got Virgin Islands. We got the Marshall Islands.
We own the Marshall Islands. Guam. Is that right?
Did I say that right? Yeah. Guam. Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico. And here's another thing, that if
we add another state, it's another opportunity
for another senator and all kinds of other stuff.
I don't think it'll be a state. I don't either,
but one of the other reasons they're saying it
won't be a state is because the politics on Greenland
are very anti -Trump. Of course, just like Washington,
D .C. They don't want Washington, D .C. to have
two senators because that would totally blow
up the dynamic of power because it's extremely
liberal. For the college electoral vote. Well,
the biggest reason is, you know how many? flags
they would have to redesign and reprint. Just
go back to the Betsy Ross. I mean, it would be
catastrophic to those companies. I mean, adding
another star. Actually, it'd be good business
because everyone would have to buy a new one.
Great business. And you make them in the United
States. Oh, what a good point. Plus, but the
visual is pretty weird. I don't know. Yeah, how
do you put an extra star in there? I don't know.
Like right in the middle of the stripes? I don't
know. Kind of weird. Be all centered. All right.
Anyway, no, I didn't really think they would
be the 51st state. He's playing hardball to get
them all wound up so that they will concede.
And at that point, won't you really get an opportunity
to actually redo the whole flag? I mean, would
you be able to change the stars and stripes?
I don't think you would change it. It's happened
multiple times. Right, yeah. What do you mean?
Before Alaska and Hawaii. When we added Hawaii
and Alaska, they changed the flag. Well, the
stars. I think it'll still be stars and stripes.
I don't think you're going to move to like a
pentagon or something like that. No, they would
rearrange the stars to have another star. Yes.
They could fit one in there. Yeah. It'd be weird.
Kind of stuck in the middle. Yeah. Actually,
it should be represented with a larger star since
it's the largest island. Not bigger than that.
And then we should shrink Hawaii. Alaska's bigger.
Than what? Greenland. No, it's not. Is it? No.
How do you know that? Not even close. Well, you
seem pretty confident. I am confident. Alaska
is larger in square miles than Greenland. I am
100 % confident you're right. All right, let's
do it. Research this, please, Mr. Producer. What
is bigger, Alaska or Greenland? Ask Alaska or
Greenland. I don't know, but that's our new flag
right there. Greenland is significantly larger
than Alaska. No, because it's ice. You're counting
ice. It's the world's largest island with an
area roughly 836 ,000 square miles, 2 .17 million
square kilometers. You can't count the ice. Maybe
it's 40 % bigger than Alaska's 570 ,000 square
miles. You're counting ice. You can't count ice.
No, it's not counting. It's not up. I'm sure
there's ice in Alaska. No, there's no ice. It's
all land. It's tropical. It's all land. The Mercator
map projections often make Greenland seem enormous.
It's smaller than the contingency United States,
but still vastly larger than any single U .S.
state, including Alaska. That's fake. Fake news.
Fake news. All right, let's move on. I think
we have beat up Greenland to death. So we believe
AI in this. Hold on. Look at that. Designing
a 51st flag. They've got Pac -Man eating two
pellets. That's so silly. I would like to talk
about the billionaire flight from California.
Have you heard about this? What is that all about?
They're all leaving because Gavin Newsom has,
well. The legislature. They haven't yet. They're
trying to pass a 5 % wealth tax on billionaires.
One time. One time tax. One time, but you can
spread it out over five years, I believe. Yes.
But basically, if you're worth $100 billion,
you're going to have to pay $5 billion in taxes.
And apparently, there's some language. And there's
language in it that makes it considerably worse
in certain. Like if they own stock or something
like that, it ended up being like significantly
more than 5%. Now, here's what's interesting
also. It's retroactive. Retroactive to January
1st of this year. So the billionaires were all
getting together and they were like, what are
we doing here? And a number of them said, you
better get out before January 1st of this year
because. You're going to get taxed. And so a
whole bunch of them went to Florida, to Miami.
Yep. And then they were having their parties.
And all the billionaires are kind of in a billionaire
club. And some of them didn't move in time or
didn't establish another. Residency. Yes, residency
somewhere else. And so they're still going to
get dinged. But, dude, they're saying it's going
to be a significant. The damage is already done.
How was that? It's legal to say you lived for
a day in California, so I require 5 % of your
wealth. How could they do that? Can you say,
no, I'll just never come back to California?
That's kind of where they're going with it. There'll
probably be lawsuits. I don't know. And the thing
is, this is the danger of talking about this
shit. It's not even passed. Oh, I know. And the
danger of it being passed was enough. To get
them to move. To get these guys to move, and
it is going to be a significant hit to their
tax revenue. Oh, yeah. Significant. Yep. I read
that also the New York Stock Exchange is opening
a division down here in Dallas. New York Stock
Exchange, Dallas. It's going to handle a lot
of the electronic, automatic type shit. Okay.
But what it's going to do, it's going to give
these. large corporations an opportunity to move
to Texas out of New York. Nice. And that's going
to be a hit. A sales tax hit. Where are they
going to land these guys? Dallas. Dallas County?
Downtown Dallas. Dallas is building a financial
district down there. They've got the room for
it because frankly there's not a lot of people
that live in Dallas. And AT &T is leaving Dallas.
Right. They're taking over the old EDS building.
In Plano. In Plano. Nice. They're going to move
in in 28. So they're going to be... That's like
5 ,000 or 6 ,000 people that's leaving Dallas
to now work in Plano. Damn. So there's a lot
of companies down there, restaurants and everything,
that are like, what are we going to do? Yeah.
Well, you know, they could potentially... I mean,
as far as... That's where they're working, but
they're still going to live probably typically.
Most of the folks live up here in this region.
So the commute is actually going to be shorter.
I mean, Frisco County has its own challenges,
too, with the amusement park being built here.
What is it called? Universal Studios. Universal
Studios. Something like Craig Ranch with the
golf. I mean, actually, Universal Studios by
itself is probably. I don't know if it's going
to be good or bad. I mean, I'm sure the park
is going to be good, but, I mean, the influx
of visitors that are going to be coming and hitting
this region, I mean, it's already horrible. Student
drivers stickered cars everywhere. It's like
it's even going to be worse. Well, I don't think
you're going to get the student drivers here.
I think you're going to get a lot of folks from
out of state, out of town and out of state coming.
I hope so. You know what the rumor is? Disney
World is building in Salina. No. That's the rumor.
The rumor was that they were going to build in
Frisco for decades. They were going to build
in Frisco. That was a hoax. I'm telling you the
rumor I heard. How did you hear it? Give us more
context. I don't think I can divulge that information.
I'm being serious, actually. But it's pretty
damn good. Did you see a meme? No. It's somebody
who works for the company that won the contract.
All right. Well, there you go. Interesting. You
heard it here first on Dudes Like Us podcast.
Well, if it happens, it happens. Is it Disneyland
or Disney World in Salina? Holy shit. Well, my
point is that it's going to be super concentrated
up here. Talking about the Californian excursion
with the billionaire flight, there was Dana Carvey.
Is that his name? Dana Carvey? Harvey? Dana Harvey?
Dana Carvey. David Spade had the interview where
they're asking, you know, what happened to the
money? They had billions of dollars for the homeless
folks. And David's asking, hey, Gavin Newsom,
what happened to the money? Oh, you don't need
to know that. He actually said that? Are you
talking about the FNL guy? Yes. Okay. He was
on a podcast or something? Sharing this information?
Those two have a podcast together. Yeah, they
just talk. They reminisce. It's doing SNL memories
and sketches, current events, pop culture, stand
-up comedy, personal anecdotes and stuff. But
he talked to Gavin Newsom and asked him this
point blank. That's what I heard him say. I don't
know if he was just like... If he actually just
said it, but what he was suggesting is that Gavin
Newsom saying, you know, you're going to pay
these taxes and, you know, we're not going to
tell you, we're not going to divulge. David Spade
made an analogy. It was kind of like, you know,
if you have a brother or a sibling or a relative
member and they all of a sudden went into debt
and you're like, all right, well, let me help
you out. Where'd all your money go? I mean, here's
how much money you make. Right. Where's your
money going? Oh, don't worry about it. You know,
and then Gavin Newsom was just like, yeah, I'm
not telling you that. Why would, I mean, it's
kind of like, well, how are we going to fix this
problem if you're not even going to be transparent
on where the money's going? Because the corruption
is so thick, and he doesn't probably even know,
but he knows about some of it that he benefits
from. I don't understand. This is killing me.
I don't understand, and this is with all administrations,
why the Department of Justice, the FBI, why these
people aren't going in there and knocking down
doors trying to figure out what the fuck is going
on. Why aren't they being more transparent on
where this money's going? Because there's so
much money. so much money and so much you know
so many hands in the pot that it's like so overwhelming
to find out what's really happening well i think
i think you're you're you're seeing why because
they're digging into this fraud up in minnesota
and you see how that's gone sideways and this
is minnesota minneapolis right right and that's
what that's not small what 17 18 billion dollars
uh and they're throwing it's it's it's a mess
not a They're still digging into it, but you
see what the press is doing. You see what the
protesters are doing. If they keep doing this,
it's just going to get worse. So we've all heard
about the independent journalists that went in
and exposed the Learing Center. Yeah, Nick Shirley.
Yeah, Nick Shirley. Okay, but did you hear about
Dr. Oz and the director of some sort of home
something or other? Like official people went
up there. and visited some sites, and they got
the same treatment. You get out of here! Get
out of here! Fuck you! Fuck you! You know, all
that bullshit that Nick Shirley was getting,
Dr. Oz got. Doesn't he have any kind of authority
to say... We're going to fucking steamroll you
motherfuckers. Yeah. Yeah, well, they need to
now, because he was telling a story that they
basically got chased out of every establishment
they went to. So Dr. Oz, in his role as the CMS
administrator, I don't know what CMS and administrator
means to you. I don't even know what that stands
for. But the CMS administrator recently visited
the Minnesota with Health and Human Services
Deputy Secretary Jim O 'Neill for a fact -finding
mission concerning fraud in state programs, particularly
Medicaid, etc. Unbelievable. And they got chased
out by the same... So what I understand from
that is this is still going on then. 100%. Because
these places are still there. They're still collecting
their money. It's going to take a while to unwind
this. It is. Trump has stopped payments going
out. In fact, they're all kind of like, oh, we're
going to stop SNAP. And it's like, fuck off.
And you know what? That's not true either. And
there's going to be collateral damage. There
is going to be collateral damage. Honest people
who really need the benefits are going to suffer.
Correct. But it's a small percentage compared
to what I hear me hearing is the fraudulent shit,
right? Yeah. But that's what you have to do.
You've got to rip the Band -Aid off. You've got
to expose this shit. Kick over the rock, and
they're going to scurry like motherfuckers. Yeah,
and they need to send him back. I mean, here's
another thing that bothers me. No, send him to
jail. Just get him out. You know, Ilhan Omar.
I mean. If she truly married her brother, as
everyone jokes, I'm guilty of it too. If she
truly married her brother to get citizenship,
that's 100 % fraud. And if she is fraudulently
a congressman, how can she stay there? Why isn't
that a priority? Oh, it is now. They're going
after her. They're investigating where she's
getting her money. Comer, right? What's his name,
James Comer? These are different things. Well,
you told me because she married into it. Well,
that's not true, though. But this last week,
they're investigating. So that's making me go,
maybe she didn't. Because she came to the United
States with nothing. That's what I was saying
before, and you guys all jumped on me. All of
you guys did. No, hold on, because that's what
they said. At the time, they said she married
a hedge fund manager. Oh, I didn't know what
you were saying. We didn't jump on you. Yeah,
you did. Oh, well, she married into it. Well,
that's what Paul. Nope. 100%. It was all Paul.
Because that is what they said. That was the
reason they gave. But now James Comer apparently
has more information. I saw through him. And
he's going after it. I mean, that's what they
said on the news, though, was that he was a hedge
fund guy and he had a lot of money. But it doesn't
matter. She went from rags to riches on her own.
She's got over $30 million in the bank that just
happened over the last X amount of time. But
still, even... Excluding that portion, how is
she still a congressman if she married her brother?
That's fraud. Because it's alleged. They haven't
proved it yet. That's correct. They haven't disproved
it, though. I mean, he is her brother, right?
But you've got to prove it. You just can't make
the accusation. Correct. You have to prove that
that actually happened. Yeah, the last two guys
that got kicked out of Congress, basically, they
had to get the indictment in hand. or a conviction
in hand for them to get kicked out right uh bob
gold bar bob oh yeah gold bar oh yeah gold bar
uh menendez right and uh who's the santos george
santos george santos right yeah so they they
had been alleged crooks for years and years and
years time and then they finally got the goods
on them with an indictment in order conviction
so there's a process and then and then you and
then you can move forward with the short of euthanizing
them but yeah but in general Why would you think
that all of these career politicians are a little
hesitant to be too heavy -handed? Because they're
all crooked. Because they all have their fucking
hands in the pot. I mean, you have Lindsey Graham,
for example. Where's he from? South Carolina?
Yeah, South Carolina. Lindsey Graham. I understood,
and this is hearsay, I don't know for a fact,
because who the hell am I, that he just received
a ton of money from Ukraine. probably during
that during that whole debacle you know he was
padded some money which helped influence his
vote to provide ukraine with tons which still
we never heard any answers about ukraine i mean
we've never i mean we're just letting shit just
disappear i know nobody i know it's never aggravating
but my point is is that you know it's up in the
news they're talking about it right now lindsey
graham and how much money he made off that deal
but nothing nothing's gonna happen I don't understand
why it is that we don't hold these people accountable,
yet we go after Trump tooth and nail for something
his accountant did. Because he's a threat. Yeah,
a $64 ,000 payment to Stormy Daniels, right?
Yeah. Which is ridiculous. Of his own money.
I don't get it. It takes the stink out of what
the Democrats really stand for. And because,
look, I believe there needs to be yin and yang,
but there is no yin and yang now. It's just a
matter of what's right and what's wrong. And
I see the Democrats, and you get people like
the guy from... Philadelphia, the guy that had
a heart attack, couldn't talk, the big, tall,
big oof. Fetterman? Yeah, John Fetterman. He
had a stroke. He had a stroke. Whatever. Daddy,
I love your description of him. But the thing
is that he's got a solid mind right now. He does.
I would vote for him. If you had a choice between
any of the Democrats to do something, I would
vote for him because he still has a— He has that,
but he still has the blue dog Democrat kind of
mentality where you want to provide for the community.
You want to provide these extra services, which
I don't subscribe to. He's there for the right
reasons. He's there to represent his constituents.
He still votes 100 % Democrat. He just vocalizes
in the press what he thinks. He still votes with
them. Not on everything. He has crossed over
on a couple of them. Well, a couple, but majority,
like 98%, he's voting Democrat on all the shit.
So he says the things we want to hear, but he's
still voting with them. Lots of corruption. That's
what matters, how he votes. What he says is one
thing. I know that he has sided with the Republicans
on some big ones. I think he's kind of the new
mansion, right? Yeah, I agree. Because Manchin
voted Democrat as well, but there were a couple
things that he disagreed with him on and he voted
with us. I think at the filibuster at the time,
right? Yeah, abandoning the filibuster, statehood
for D .C., you know, some of those things. Yes,
a couple of those things. Beyond the pale. I
think Fetterman is the new Manchin. Right. He
and Christian Sinema. Those two are gone. So
Fetterman is just one. I don't know if there's
another Dem out there that is kind of like that.
I bet they try to chase his ass out of there.
Probably primary on this. I guarantee. We'll
see. So cinema and mansion. Mansion. Mansion.
You said beyond the pale, right? Like tinkering.
They knew that if you pack the Supreme Court,
if you give D .C. statehood, it would create
an... I'll say unfair, but it would create a
total shift in the balance of power. Right. Which
would be unprecedented and totally malicious.
Yes. They knew that and they wouldn't let it
happen. And that was amazing. That was amazing
what they. Oh, they got a lot of shit. Well,
they had to immediately. They were gone. We remember
cinema. She got followed into the bathroom. Oh,
yeah. Oh, and now she just had an event where.
She got tied in some being accused of having
an affair on her husband, and two different men
shouted out in the middle of her press conference,
you know, I'm her lover. And they had to be like.
Really? Oh, yeah, it's ridiculous. They're still
going after her. She's not even in the politics
anymore. She's still evil to them. I don't think
they'll ever forgive her. But here's the problem.
If they get the majority back. Amen. They're
going to do all those things. They're going to
get rid of the filibuster. They're going to push
for D .C. Do you think we should get rid of the
filibuster? Trump is wanting to do these things
simply because he knows that if we don't do it
first, they will. I hate that whole thing. I'm
going to start with the talking filibuster. If
you're going to filibuster, you have to talk.
They can't just say, I filibuster, and then we
go, oh, we can't do anything. Then I go back
to my office. I thought they do. That's the whole
marathon talking thing. Not anymore. That changed
in Obama or somewhere. They don't have to stand
there. Now that you mentioned Obama, I'm going
to go back a couple subjects. You could blame
Obama for what's happening in Minnesota. 100%.
Obama is the guy that transplanted Somalia into
Minnesota. Literally. 30 ,000. So he allowed
all the refugees to come over unabated? Yes.
Just, hey, come on over. And if you dig in a
little bit more about Ilhan Omar, that piece
of shit that she is, she was the daughter of...
A warlord. Yeah, a pretty bad guy. Oh, nice.
I mean, you got to look at the history of Somalia.
Somalia is - A mess. It's not even a country.
It's just a cesspool of shit that happens there.
A bunch of tribal nonsense and - Warlords. Yeah,
it's insane. Her family, basically, the citizens
took over, or another warlord kicked them out.
I think it was the citizens, not another warlord.
And she had escaped. That was the reason why
she's in the United States. Correct. It's because
she escaped because her family was pieces of
shit. And they were murdering. Oh, meaning they
were chased out by the citizens of Somalia. Well,
she had escaped, so they didn't kill her. They
were going to kill her. They were killing Christians.
And why isn't that on the news? They're still
doing that. Yeah, but specifically her family.
But they're just like, why isn't that brought
up? Why don't we talk about those things? Well,
she's playing it as, you know, it was civil unrest
and, you know, I had a fear for my life and I
got chased away, but she didn't say anything
about her being the evil one that was chased
away. Yeah, she was no innocent bystander in
all this. Unbelievable. And they call her the
Somalian princess. Oh, my God. Yeah, well, you
know what? She can be the Somalian princess.
Let's send her freaking ass back. It's a mess,
man. I don't know. I'm a little bitter over it.
She's so vile, too. The more and more I learn
about it, the more and more I want to know more
about it. That's why I want to be more involved
in some of the local politics that we got going
on. Did you vote today? I did not. I did. I did
not. I traveled all day today. This isn't the
only day, though, right? Right, right, right.
So we got all of this. It was the only day? It
was the only day. Oh, shut up. No, it's open
until when? I don't know. The end of the month.
We got all of this week. We got Monday and Tuesday
of next week, and then we got next Saturday is
the actual election. It'll take you actually
three minutes to do it. I know, but I'll wait
until the very last day. That's the only thing
on the ballot. You're talking about voting, right?
Yes. I'll wait until the very last day and then
lament that I didn't have time. I didn't have
time. So there's what? You vote for Ann Anderson?
Ann Anderson or Mike Peele. Mark Peele. Mark
Peele. That's it. That's the only thing on there.
And they have Sharpies now. So I had a friend.
Who is really connected to like all the notifications
about the Collin County Republican. No, no, no.
It's not. I don't think it's a good one. Look
at my glass. Tier one. I don't know what's happening.
I mean, you're on a Facebook group. Can you guys
stop having your seizures and let me talk for
a second? No, he gets all the what the Collin
County Republican Party, you know, like their
endorsements and their recommendations and all
that kind of shit. Right. And they endorsed Mark
Peland. And I'm like. Correct. And I responded
to him and I was like, you know what? I mean,
what I saw of Mark Peele when he was debating
John Keating, he was, it was ugly. Yeah. And
he has some seriously ugly. Didn't seem like
a good person. He has some seriously ugly history.
Yeah, he had to step down. With the city as a
fire chief. Right. And I'm worried that his motivation
is purely vengeance. It's not about representing
the citizens of Frisco. I mean, I don't know.
I really don't know, right? But you could speculate,
and you have every right to. I have the same
sense. After seeing that forum of the two of
them going back and forth, and neither one of
them were pretty, by the way, Keating and Peelan.
They both looked like they were both... Anyway,
but I'm just like, dude, he's got a different
motivation going on. How did he look when he
debated Ann? I didn't see it. I caught the very
end of the live broadcast. That's what the rewind
button's for, man. He's got a booming voice.
I mention this just because it's just like when
Anne was talking, her voice was muddled. And
I don't know if that was about design, but I'll
tell you what, it didn't look good at all because
you could barely hear her. He was able to enunciate.
And one of the guys that was talking on the mic
introduced some people and asked them the questions.
Like the moderator. Yeah, the moderator was like,
his voice was booming and you could hear it.
It was very clear. And he was like, and you know
what? We were just notified that your voice is
not being heard very well right now. So I'm going
to give you my microphone. His microphone sounded
pristine. Like you can hear it. He hands it to
her and then all of a sudden you can't hear her.
It changes. So it's like some of the sound guys
like somebody is tinkering. I'm not saying that
happens. I'm not there. I don't know. But I do
know that it was different. Did you watch the
whole thing? When Chuck sent the link, I immediately
logged on. So, I mean, did you get some appealings?
Apparently she criticized him and I wondered
how that went. Well, I mean. She criticized him
on stuff. He has all his walls up and all his
defenses for all that stuff, right? He's ready
to roll. He's polished. Yeah, I don't think he's
that polished, because he totally fucked up.
I mean, because she mentioned, because he tried
throwing her under the bus by saying, well, you
know what, we're glad we dodged the AT &T thing,
and it was going to come to the Frisco, but it
ended up going to Plano. And he came back and
was kind of like, well, you know what, we need
to take advantage of these things now, because
now Plano's going to take advantage of that.
It's like, yeah, but you know what? There was
this other thing that happened, and we didn't
do that. And instead of getting that, we got
the star, and we got the Dallas Cowboys Center.
Nebraska Furniture Mart. And Nebraska Furniture
Mart. And we got all these positive things that
happened here. And just because we're missing
on this AT &T, we already have the soccer stadium.
We already have all these things going on. You
can't just dismiss it thinking that you got that
crystal ball. And she was, what else did she
say? Shoot. I'm brain farting on that. But he
basically kind of called her out. And then she
said, oh, yeah. And then also there's this other
thing that's happening. And I don't remember
what it was, but there was something in the pipeline
to take a look at. It was a big deal, whatever
it was. And then he's kind of like, how do you
know that? Because that is privileged information.
Accusing her of being. Oh, yeah. Like she's got
the inside scoop. Got some Nancy Pelosi isms
going on. I'd be like, well, how do you know,
Mark? Yeah, well, he's on that board for whatever
reason he's on that board. How do you know that?
No, he's not on that board. The EDC, okay, so
he's like, the EDC sessions are closed meetings.
How do you know it's on the EDC agenda? Go ahead
and tell the rest of the story. And then she
was just like, well, because they had a hearing
today where they spoke of the results of the
meeting, and I was there because I go to all
those meetings. You don't show up to those. I
do. Bitch. Damn. Mic drop? That was a pretty
good one. Yeah. Look, she was solid. You don't
like to introduce when you have these city seats
available, you don't really want to go right
or left. You really want to just address topics
because you can't have influence from a Republican
-Democrat standpoint. I mean, you can, but it's
not because we're so diverse. You're better off
not doing that, so you just hit the topics. The
local Republican boards and commissions or whatever,
they'll invite all sorts of candidates, and then
they'll decide who they're going to give an endorsement
to, right? And it doesn't really matter. If you
don't appeal to their board, then you're not
going to get their endorsement. Yeah, it's not
the end -all, be -all, but it carries a lot of
weight. It carries a lot of weight, but also...
If you're an uninformed voter and you're just
like, who's the right one to go with? Oh, well,
you want to go with the conservative Collin County
Republican. Correct. They're the ones that always
tell you who the good ones are and they have
the same values you do. Those matter more in
primaries and actual elections for county and
state seats than they do for local elections
because local elections, half the people that
are showing up are Democrat. Well, I have to
tell you, Get out and vote because this one,
you will matter in this vote. You will matter.
Because the count's going to be low. Yeah. It'll
be less than 10%. Oh, right. Really low. So get
out and vote. But as I drive around all day,
unfortunately or fortunately, however you want
to look at it, I see a lot more appealing signs
than I do. Yeah. He has good ground game. Mark
had a lot of funding. Okay. A lot of funding
because he's been in this game a couple of times.
Oh, yeah. He ran for mayor and lost. He ran for
city council and lost. He has a lot, but he has
a lot of friends. I saw the campaign finance
reports. They have a lot of funding to go buy
signs with, and Ann does not. Yeah. I mean, I'll
go down streets, and I'll see the whole street
lined with his signs. He's got lots of friends
in low places. I guess. Well, yeah. So I'm just.
I'm hopeful, but, you know. Bottom line, it's
about the money, but I wish they had more debates
going on. You know, I really do. I'd like for
us as a podcast to, I don't want to use the word
expose because it sounds kind of negative, but
I'd love to interview these folks that are running
for seat, regardless what side of the aisle I'm
on. I don't care. Just interview them. We don't
have to poke at them from a shitty perspective.
Just kind of like, hey, man, how do you feel
about this? How do you feel about that? The reality
is they would be all softball -friendly conversations.
Well, they can, or we could also challenge them.
Well, I think they'd be conversational like we
did with Ann. At the same time, you can challenge
them with challenging questions. I think Ann
got a couple of challenging questions, and she
did well. And I think that's how you approach
it. It's conversational, and you ask some tough
questions if they come up, right? Right. And
you say, so why'd you marry your brother? Yeah.
Oh, I just, I flipped back through our chats.
Did you see, I sent it to you, the conversation
between Josh Hawley and that hack doctor. Yes.
About. She refusing to answer the definition
of a woman. Yes. Oh my God. Can men get pregnant?
And she wouldn't, absolutely would not answer.
Do you think that men can get pregnant? I hesitated
there because I wasn't sure where the conversation
was going or what the goal was. I mean, I do
take care of patients with different identities.
I take care of many women. I take care of people
with different identities. And so that's where
I paused. I think I wasn't sure where you were
going with that. Well, the goal is just the truth.
So can men get pregnant? Again, the reason I
paused there is I'm not really sure what the...
The goal is just to establish a biological reality.
You just said a moment ago that science and evidence
should control, not politics. So let's just test
that proposition. Can men get pregnant? I take
care of people with many identities, but I take
care of many women that can get pregnant. I do
take care of people that don't identify as women.
Can men get pregnant? Again, as I'm saying...
Let me just remind you what you testified to
a moment ago. Science and evidence should control,
not politics. So, can men get pregnant? That
is the easiest question to answer. No, they cannot.
I'm a little confused on your way of explaining
it. I'm not sure what your objective or goal
is by asking that. He torched her, man. You know,
I want to not make this political. I want to
stick to the science and facts. And he's like,
we're talking about science and facts. He demolished
her. She needs to be, whatever job she currently
has, she needs to be fired. Hopefully her patients
went, yeah, we need to go find another doctor.
She needs to be disbarred. Right? You lose your
medical. You lose your license. Not disbarred.
That's lawyer. That's lawyers. Yeah, you lose
your medical license. It was like four or five
minutes of him just. hammered the same question
is she she couldn't say yes or no so she said
yes support it hang on there's a word for it
or words for it's called performative ignorance
okay you get up there and you act like you just
don't know and they're and and they ask you just
the most straightforward question you're just
like you know what that kind of depends on what
your definition of is is you know She wasn't
claiming ignorance. No, no, no. Performative
ignorance. She's acting ignorant as a performance
to her peers so that she doesn't fall for Josh
Hawley. She was just being creative in how to
not answer the question. Yes, performative. Like,
I don't know. I don't know where all this money
went. It's what's wrong with what's going on.
I mean, it's scary. You have the Supreme Court
justice. Katonji Brown Jackson. Yes. What a train
wreck. I don't believe it. I mean, we talked
about this podcast or two ago, but it's still,
I'm kind of like, we seriously have somebody
that's educated in the Supreme Court that is
saying that they can't elaborate on what's a
man and what's a woman. Do you stick to X and
XY chromosomes? Do you ask that instead of man
or woman? It has made a complete mockery of the
Supreme Court. Did they vote on that yet? No,
not yet. You talking about the trans? I haven't
heard any Supreme Court rulings. Trump came out
and said that he was extremely disappointed in
the Supreme Court that there could be anyone
advocating on the Supreme Court for men being
in women's sports. Right. So I think he's simply
taking a shot at the liberal ones. Sure. Right.
But they have not ruled yet. Right. I think they
released three opinions today. Right. But the
big one coming up is the tariff opinion. That
should be coming here soon. That's going to be
crazy. Yeah, I'm hoping they stick with it. Look,
I know it's tough, but, you know, I mean, how
long do you have to stick with it? I mean, why
aren't these other countries – I don't get why
these other countries won't reciprocate. What
do you mean? Meaning that we're matching their
tariffs. Well, he's also using tariffs as a weapon
or a – I don't know if it's called a weapon,
but he just imposed, what, a 10 % or 25 % tax
on England? He's using it to coerce. Yeah. Well,
okay. For collusion, too. Hey, leverage. It's
leverage. Yeah, the stock market tanked today
because the international markets tanked because
of these tariffs he's put on them. So, you know.
Yeah, I think it's all going to come back. I
mean, meaning that it's tanked now, but. Oh,
it will. It's going to come right back with a
vengeance. Yeah, these are all temporary things
that Trump does to make people feel pain, and
then it turns right back around. In particular,
he said anybody that is supporting Denmark about
the Greenland thing, right? Greenland thing,
yeah. He's going to put tariffs on. All right,
real quick, before we get to the bourbon. The
Australian sharks. Who wrote that up there? I
did. Tell me about it. Four attacks this week
in Australia. Like eaten? Bitten in half? Yeah,
I mean, well, I think one of them was an elbow.
One lost part of their ear. I don't know the
details. Jeff wants all the details. I know he
does. This is crazy. All right, look up the Australian
attacks. Intestinal mesentery laying everywhere?
It's literally this week. They shot dozens of
beaches in Sydney and the East Coast after shark
attacks. I understood that there are shark attacks
every day. No, not like this. This is four in
a week. This is why I don't get in the ocean.
All right, here we go. I don't, really. Zoom
on the Shark Rampage graphic. Here we go. Another
mall. Oh, the sun. God, this is... The sun. Ooh.
Warning. This contains scenes that may be disturbing.
Something to do with a guitar. That's exactly
what we like. Shark Rampage. 39 -year -old surfer
was attacked near a Point Plummer. Near Point
Plummer. 11 -year -old... Shark attack, beach
going at Manly Beach. That's my beach, near North
Sydney. And a 12 -year -old boy was attacked
by these sharks, really like little boys. These
are four shark attacks in New South Wales in
48 hours. Are they all great white? Oh, this
is South Wales? That's Australia. Part of Australia.
Oh, okay. Yeah, it's by Sydney. Nice. That's
a knife. Man, I have no response to that because
from what I understood, there are dozens of attacks
all over Australia every day. So I don't know.
Obviously not. Obviously not if they're freaking
out about this. I did see the footage of the
lady getting eaten. You couldn't see it, but
you saw the guy running. I saw him being interviewed.
He was running. because he thought that she was
having trouble. So he flew out there. Everyone
was screaming at him. Oh, like a lifeguard. No,
it's just a dude. Oh, nice. Went out there, thought
she was in trouble, and then everyone was screaming
shark. I guess he didn't quite hear it. He got
out there, and then he started seeing the blood,
and he got her. She was alive. I think he said
that it bit her arm or something like that. He
saved her life? No, she died on the beach. Oh,
fuck. Or at the hospital, yeah. She ended up
dying. the president of our company, the company
that I work for, the president, all right, saved
a young girl being attacked by a shark. No shit.
This happened within the last year. How amazing
is that? That is amazing. Is it in Australia?
No, this was here. So I looked up. There isn't
a fix per day because there's about 20. Was it
Lake Louisville? There's about, no, he doesn't
live here. It's in Georgia. It's in Georgia.
Averaging around 20, per year overall is the
average shark attacks. And these are four in
48 hours. Yeah, the four attacks in 48 hours
in New South Wales. Highlighting how rare yet
intense these localized spikes can be often linked
to weather and murky water attacking bull sharks
as seen in the city. Bull sharks, yeah. Bull
sharks account for the majority of the attacks.
Not great whites. Great whites, I think, get
the notoriety because they're so big and mean
and nasty and just chomp you in half. But, yeah,
the bull sharks are the cause for most of the
attacks. Well, the Jaws movie was not a bull
shark. That was a robot. No, it was a great white
shark. Ring, ring. And it was real. Ring, ring.
Ring, ring, ring. Oh. What are you doing? Hey.
Oh, hey, Chris. How you doing? Oh, hey. You got
what? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what?
Get one of those bottles for me. I'd love to
get one of those. What is that? 13th Colony Rye?
This is a Seanway. Oh, my God. Wow. That's a
Sean Segway. It's a Seanway. Wow. A Seanway.
A Seanway. A Seanway. We just had a Seanway,
ladies and gentlemen, which is like. Could have
been the worst Seanway. First of all, shout out
to, first of all, Chris, the guy that I work
with. So he's a common whiskey guy, and his tastes
are about the same as ours. There are some that
he doesn't appreciate that we do, but it doesn't
matter. Everyone's got their own palate. But
he and I. will call each other if there is something
extraordinary, and this is one of the bottles,
so I wanted to give a shout out to Chris. Thank
you for taking up this bottle. This is the 13th
Colony Task Strength Southern Rye Whiskey. What's
that said with stain? Did you just hear him?
Did it say MGP? Is it really? Distill at Source,
Indiana. So yes, MGP. Jeff's like, allocation,
and he called me, and it's MGP. Doesn't mean
it's not good. It's bitch. Oh, this is wonderful.
We did the Wyoming whiskey the first half, which
was good. I scored it pretty high. This one's
even better. Yeah, this is good. I know. I told
you out there in the green room. It's MGP. It's
MGP. Hold on a second. He's like, bitch, please.
Get the fuck out of here. That's another story.
Every time he goes shopping. He has numb fingers.
He has to throw shit down there. Oh, I don't
like that. Oh, yeah, look at that. That's kind
of cool. That's actually kind of nice. He will
spill the nectar. Isn't that your really expensive
glasses? Oh, hell no. These are readers. Oh.
So. When I was out there and I still get a taste.
I get a taste of molasses. Mole asses. Whose
ass? Mole's. Paul doesn't like it. Well, no.
Yeah, I did. And I drank it so fast that I didn't
take the time to put the nose. This is a technique
by Paul. No, really. Am I the second poorer?
No. That would be Sean. And yes, I'll take. That's
like three ounces. Three ounces. I still have
mine. Whatever. The one time. No, this is really,
really good stuff. I'm enjoying this. This is
excellent. You know, it's crazy. I sucked it
down without thinking about it. Go ahead. I'm
going to do the nose and the finish. So, you
know, about four years ago when we did the podcast,
you know, starting, this is our seventh year.
Yeah, seventh season. Shit. So when we first
started out, we would not have liked this. No.
We would have been like, ooh, it's too stringent.
It's a rye. This is great. Yes. This is fabulous.
I really enjoy the shit out of this. Yeah, the
- It's MGP. I'll have to say - I'll have to say
that the first 13th colony that we got - We really
enjoyed, and we can thank my wife for it because
we were down in College Station. We hit the specs
down there at A &M. And we were going through,
and this is when we were hunting all the time,
right? And we went in, and she's like, I like
that bottle. I'm going to get that one. So she
picked up the 13th Colony. It was just their
standard bourbon at the time. And we came up
here, and we really liked it. So it does have
a unique bottle. Yeah, it's like... Kind of like
the birthday bottle. Yeah. I'm not sure. Did
you guys read it or no? Cast Strength, 13th Colony
Distillies, Cast Strength. This is the Small
Batch Southern Rye Whiskey. It's hand -selected.
The proof is 120 .7. And for you mathletes out
there, that is 60 .35 alcohol content. All right,
let's see. It's from 2025. Well done. It's got
some really small lettering that there's no hope
for. It offers a rich profile of caramel, brown
sugar, and vanilla on the nose with deep spiced
notes of clove, nutmeg, and hazelnut, evolving
into toasted grains, praline, and coffee. The
palate features warm rye spice, pepper toasted,
bread maple, and vanilla cookies leading to a
finish. This is the part I like the most. Leading
to a finish of velvety rye oils. I've never heard
that description. Velvety rye oils, root beer,
which I totally taste, and Dr. Pepper, dried
fruits like dates or raisins, showcasing a well
-integrated balance of yet bold rye experience.
I think I nailed it. This is really good. Like
I said, I still taste molasses, and I think that
fits some of these tasting points in there, you
know, the pecan pies and maple syrup, the molasses.
Whatever else you want to call that flavor. Brown
sugar. It's all in there, man. Really, really
good. I would definitely buy this again. So the
mash bill is 95 % rye and 5 % malted barley.
Damn. What is the price point? It's $100. $100.
This one's worth it. It's worth it. It was well
done. Well done. Well done, 13th Colony. Yeah,
what's the story behind the 13th Colony? They're
from Georgia. Georgia. Yeah, Georgia. Georgia,
America? No, yes, no. No, over by Russia, making
bourbon. It's MGP. Yes, yes, yes. Yes, of course,
I knew it wasn't Georgia, Russia. What is Georgia,
Russia like? Probably sucks. But I have no idea.
Actually, there is a class at Total Wine that
I almost went to for Georgian wine. Really? Yes.
So I guess they have some wines that come out
of Georgia. So the 13th Colony Distillers was
founded in Americus, Georgia. Oh, Americus, Georgia.
By friends who started making spirits as holiday
gifts. becoming the state's first legal distillery
since Prohibition in 2009. We could have done
this. We could have done this. Named for Georgia
being the 13th colony, because Georgia was the
13th colony. And they utilize ideal local humidity
temperatures for aging and produce a small batch
award -winning spirits, blending barrels to achieve
unique flavors through the whiskey production
involved sourcing, distillate, in which they
finish and blend. By the way, they just said...
Is it MGP then? It's MGP. Well, they source it.
So are they saying it involves, oh, there you
go. I just said it. Sourcing, distill it, right?
Then they blend it and age it a little bit more.
This is why we drink this stuff, so that we learn
things about history. I just found out that Georgia
is the 13th colony. I know. Of the United States.
I will always Cliff Clavin that. I will never
forget that. Who's the 14th? Yes. There is no
14th. It's Alaska. It's Greenland. I think it's
Puerto Rico. Greenland or Washington, D .C. It
was the Falcon Islands. It's either Alaska or
Puerto Rico or Greenland. One of those. Costa
Rica. As the 14th? As the 14th. As the 14th colony.
I could have sworn it was California. I say we
start a bourbon company called the 14th colony,
bitch. What is it really? It's the 14th state.
There's no more than 13 colonies. Because after
the colonies were established, they came up with
- What was the 14th addition to the Union? It
was a state. I know. What was it? They divided
the Carolinas in half. Or was it the Virginias
in half? The what? So you have Virginia, you
have West Virginia. I thought you said something
else. Fuck. I don't know. Did you hear they're
going to call Greenland East Virginia? Really,
what was the order of... Okay, we don't have
to dive into this now, but I would like to know...
Well, Vermont was the 14th state. Thank you.
That was my next guess. God, why was that so
difficult? Because we suck. We sounded very confident,
though. Did we? He sounded very confident about
the Carolinas. I assumed it was. Back in the
early 17th century, you know, the North Carolina,
South Carolina split up the, you know. In March
4th, 1791, 1791, March 4th, Vermont joined the
Union, being an independent republic. So real
quick, before we end it, let's talk about the,
did we talk about the college football game?
I think we briefly did, but I don't think we
ever touched on it. I didn't watch it, so I didn't
have much to say. I watched it. I watched the
whole thing. I watched it. And I'm a football
fan, baby. I think the Cowboys should hire Kurt
Cignetti. Dude, unbelievable story. He's like
a savant or something. Is this the quarterback?
The coach. Indiana coach. So, okay, just to set
this up, they're in the Big Ten. Indiana has
sucked forever. Forever. And then up until last
year, last year they had a great record. This
year, they fucking won the national championship.
Went undefeated. Before last year, they were
3 -9. We'll put it this way. They've had, I think,
26 coaches. He's coached for two years, and he
is the eighth highest winningest coach at Indiana
already. Right. In two years. And he put together
a team. Now, I mean, yes, he used NIL money.
Yes, he used the transfer portal. A lot of them
came from James Madison. Okay. Interesting. And
they freaking made the playoffs, by the way.
Yeah, a lot of them came from Jim Madison. And
so what's really interesting is they claim there
are people that are haters, right? They're like,
oh, well, anybody can use NIL money and build
the dream team. He didn't. He used NIL money
that was totally on par with, like, the rest
of the teams of their caliber. Right. So he used
NIL money, they all do, and he used the transfer
portal, but I'll be damned if he put together,
he, personally with his staff, put together the
team that went from nothing to zero to fricking
national champions. Right. Unbelievable. It's
an unbelievable story. Yeah. Andrea is, is from
Indiana. So I don't know whether this is true
or not. I don't know, but she has some folks
who, who are involved or know some folks who
are involved in, in the, uh, um, MGP and MGP
and the Indiana university. And he says that
For every day for lunch, he gets Chipotle. The
exact same thing every day. The coach? For like
years. What's wrong with Chipotle? I love Chipotle.
But the exact same thing every day for like 10
years. I would do that. When I go to Chipotle,
I get the exact same thing every time. Do I go
every day? No. But does he have like a special,
did he win like, have a free lunch every day?
I guess they are interviewing because his assistant
coach goes and orders. And I guess he has so
many Chipotle points. There you go. And they
didn't realize. They just say, give me the Cignetti.
Yeah. They probably see him coming. They just
have it ready for them. I love Chipotle. You
guys like Chipotle? Because my coworkers. Oh,
my God. It's like the leftover chicken, the dark
chicken bullshit. Now, there's something bad
about Chipotle. I don't recall what it was. Oh,
my God. No, no, there was. There used to be.
Yeah, I don't remember what it was, though. They
were caught using highly modified beef or chicken
or something like that. Now they've gone to all
organic shit. I'm out. I think it's good. I like
it. I think it's good stuff. It's all natural.
It's healthy. If I had a million points, I would
eat it every day, and it would be the same thing
every day. It'd be the Cignetti. Look, I'm a
very simple creature. I would eat everything
the same every day. It didn't matter to me. Hell,
if it would help reduce my circumference, God
bless. I haven't eaten today. Haven't eaten today.
I haven't eaten today. I don't think that's healthy.
Of course it is. Yeah. Cubans were designed for
that. We can debate that. Put a bunch of bourbon
on top of that. Well, you know, I'm going to
have a... I'm going to go to bed early. I got
to go to the office tomorrow and we get someone
buying us lunch tomorrow. I have no idea what
it is. Probably just jelly. Maybe Chipotle. It's
probably going to be fajitas. For Chipotle. There
is a Mexican restaurant right next to us, La
Hacienda. Oh, yeah. That's good stuff. They always
kind of... That's expensive. Whatever's close
here. I actually am working from home. I'm looking
forward to tomorrow. Nice. Because I have furniture
being delivered. Well, maybe I'll come visit
you. No. I'm busy. Oh. Well, thank you. Check
