You could have like five claps. I was looking
at the one I posted to TikTok today. We have
to figure out the syncing because it was off
a little. So here's the challenge on that. I
guess we can talk about it. I'll talk about it
during the break. All right. There's something
I... Yeah. All right. We'll talk about it. All
right. Here we are. Do we need the official...
Whoa. Wasn't ready for that. Did you make yourself
dizzy? What is today? Today's the 26th. Tuesday.
I've lost all track of time. I know. We're in
a time warp because of this winter storm that
we've been hammered down in. I don't know, man.
I haven't been hammered on it. It's just another
day. I mean, I love going out there in the snow.
I love driving in the snow. It's not snow, though.
I don't have any issues. Ice, whatever it is.
You can't be stupid. Steering into the skid.
Well, that's all fine and good until the person
next to you doesn't know what the fuck they're
doing. Yes. So you can be the best driver on
the road, and then you meet Mr. Idiot. True.
That's the problem. Yeah. Well, that's why you
go driving at 3 in the morning. You know, there
was a time when I had a truck, specifically.
I'd go out there, and I'd be that guy in the
four -lane highway when there's no one out there
doing donuts. Are you serious? You did that?
Parking lots? Anywhere there was an open space.
What do you mean? Are you looking at me like
you're shooting me? Well, I mean, I understand
like a parking lot, but not a four -lane highway.
Dude, there was nobody. Oh, wow. For miles. I
used to do it in the parking lot. I remember
when I first graduated college, I worked at a
furniture store with a buddy, and we had a box
truck that we would deliver it in. Good Lord.
It'd have a good snow and good everything, so
we'd get to look. No one was coming in because
it was snowy, right? So we're like, let's go.
So we'd hop in a box truck and go to a big parking
lot, and we'd sit there and do donuts in the
box truck. In the box truck? That is insane.
In the box truck. I mean, what if it catches
and just tips over? Well, it never did, but yeah.
Oh, my God. I was 21, 22, so it was an idiot.
There's a lot of horrific things that can come
about from people having a good time out there.
Just here in Frisco, there was a moment where
you have these two. Young girls, 15, 16 years
old, and their 15, 16 -year -old friend, brother,
whatever it was, was driving a Jeep and pulling
the girls behind them on some sort of sled. And
he was probably going way too fast and trying
to... Even if you're going 15 or 20, if you come
off that thing and you ran into a tree, you're
toast. And that's what happened. Yeah, that's
what happened. It made national news, too. Yeah,
and I used to do it. The boys used to do it.
Hell, I got a video of the boys doing it. Yeah,
they used to do it. So I used to do it. In fact,
they wrecked, and they all got hurt. I don't
remember that. Yeah. Preston, share everything.
All right. Well, it's February 20. Oh, my God.
It's January 26. It's Tuesday, January 26. 27.
Is it 27? 27. Fuck me. We're getting close. It
is a snow week, and it started. Well, dudes like
us. I'm Sean. I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff. Yeah, we've
been hunkered down since Saturday. Yeah, well,
basically Friday, really. I mean, we took off
Friday. Most folks got to take off from Friday.
I mean, I work from home. I didn't do a whole
lot. I still worked because the weather wasn't
bad yet. I'm sure all the northern states are
like, oh, God, give me a break. Seriously. They
go out every day. And I get it from a certain
perspective, but those guys are used to it. Their
cars are. probably structured to handle that,
meaning they've got snow chains, they've got
the city infrastructure where they've got sand
forward slash salt trucks that are prepared to
scrape the roads clean. I wish we would do that
here. I don't understand why we don't have a
salt pile somewhere where we can salt the fucking
streets. Why don't we do that? Well, they do
for the freeways, don't they? I've seen sand
trucks or whatever they are. Why don't they do
it on the main road? Preston, Coit, Hillcrest,
Independence, all those. 423. You mean salt,
salt? Yes. Okay, so that wrecked your car. I
don't care. Okay. Oh, you don't even care? No,
it doesn't wreck it that bad. I lived up north.
I had a car for years and years and years. Not
for the amount of years. It does damage the car,
but that's like years of exposure. People that
live on the East Coast are used to it because
of the salty ocean and the chronic exposure from
the salted roads. But up here, you got a couple
days. I don't know if it's warranted. It'd be
nice if they had it, but at the same time, I
don't know if it's warranted to go through all
that. Well, they got the thing right there south
of 121, where they keep all the sand. You know,
they build these things. Yeah, yeah, those little
domes. Little domes. They have them south of
121 off of Hillcrest. Yeah. Just put a pile of
salt in there, so when you need it, go get it.
Yeah, but all the Teslas would just, like, disintegrate.
Yeah. Again, it doesn't affect me. Right. Does
the salt disintegrate the Teslas? Is that a thing?
No, it's the metal, right? I don't know how it
would impact the battery if it got in there,
but the battery systems are sealed. I would imagine
it doesn't affect Teslas any more than any other
car. I don't think it would affect anything in
the short amount of time that we actually needed.
There are some years where we don't even get
a freeze, so it's not that. So, I mean, how much
money would you invest in it? You probably spend
$50 ,000, $100 ,000 within a year. You got one
or two trucks. Some of these trucks... are versatile
you get a dump truck and they've got a little
spritzing mechanism on the back end of the truck
that takes the place of the tailgate and it falls
into this little reservoir and just yeah i've
seen that like you're putting on you know uh
like you're doing stuff on your front yard what
is the stuff the fertilizer yeah you know it's
the same mechanism it just kind of sprints and
it goes up and down i mean it's nothing you don't
have to buy new uh trucks you know what maybe
we ought to Use our authority of the Dudes Like
Us podcast and start asking these pointed questions
towards our city council. Yeah, I don't know
the aversion to not having that supply sitting
there. If you don't need it one year, you don't
need it. It's not like it's going to... It sits
there, yeah. If it's covered and everything,
it's not going anywhere. I don't know. It's just
saying that they brine it, which is a saltwater
mix, ahead of time, which is more effective than
throwing salt on after, and especially in ice.
it's less effective. Well, I know where I grew
up, they are trucks that are just spewing salt
everywhere. Right. That's all it was. It wasn't
brine or anything like that. It was rock salt
being thrown on all the streets. When you say
brine, are you referring to that they put salt
down to make the ice brine? Or for preventative
measures? They spray a brine mixture on the concrete.
Oh, I see. So salt water, basically. Yeah, before
the freezing. and then that's supposed to keep
it from freezing. But obviously, if you have
too much cold for too long and too much sleep
and freezing rain and ice like we had, it's not
going to help. The thing with the salt is you
put it over the... Now, salt only works to a
certain degree. When it gets below, I think,
15 or 9, it doesn't work. Steak sandwich, salt,
a little cayenne pepper, butter. Salt wouldn't
help too much over the last couple days because
it's too fucking cold, but you lay it over the
top of the ice and it melts. It works. I don't
think it's that big of a deal. I mean, for us,
we're cooped up in the house. Would it have been
nice to get out of the house? Yeah, you can go
for a walk. Could have gone to Total Wine. Total
Wine? See, now you're making this real. It really
hits home. But you know what? Oh, by the way,
check us out on Facebook, Instagram, and check
us out on YouTube, and check us out on TikTok.
We've got some new accounts out there for those
folks out there. Because some people are like,
really, you're on YouTube? I didn't even know.
I was like, well, God bless it. How would you
not know? You type in dudes like us. Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Dudes like us podcast.
Because if you type in something else, it's going
to whisk you away to somewhere else into wah
-wah land where you don't want to go. Yeah, we
were talking about videos for a while, and now
we have them on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube
for sure. So check them out. They're short. They're
fun. A lot of fun. All right. Well, check it
out. So we got the snow day, snow week that's
coming up. And Jeff, are you going back to school
tomorrow? No. So you're off to, oh, that's right.
Have a nice five -day weekend. Yeah, they're
saying about a fog, freezing fog. I have never
heard of freezing fog before. So it's basically
like a mist that coats everything. Yeah. Well,
I was nervous. It makes it awful all over again.
I was nervous because I was out with Steven today
driving around and hit the store. Coit had two
clear tire lanes with ice everywhere else. That
was the main thoroughfare. But I drive on the
back streets in my bus, and all of them are solid
ice still. Yeah, they always suck. Yeah, so I
was like, I'm not going to feel comfortable going
down these little things in the back end kind
of slide down. Yeah, why would you risk the safety
of a child? Exactly. Yeah. So I think that's,
well, one of the reasons, because the side streets
and neighborhood streets are still solid ice.
Yeah. So maybe Thursday. I don't know. We'll
see what happens. Well, it depends because it's
a cycle. The shit's melting now. It's going to
refreeze tonight. Yeah. But it only gets down
to like 26 tonight. It's still going to refreeze.
Yeah, but not like nine. You know what I mean?
So I don't know. We'll see what the roads look
like tomorrow and Thursday. That should be cleared
up. And again, the people on the East Coast,
they're just all making fun of us. I know. There
are a lot of people out there that simply just
do not know how to drive. They think it's a normal
drive out there. No. You're no longer driving
a car. You're driving a boat. Well, there is
a difference in what you get down here and what
you get up north for the most part. As far as
the quality of snow? Well, I think they get slushy
snow. They don't get ice. Well, they don't get
the ice like, well, they do when it drops down
to zero like it is now. Right. But like Sean
says, they have the infrastructure to take care
of that. They have the plows and they have the
salt and all the mechanisms. Down here, you don't.
And the ice is, I think, a little, I don't know
if it's different, but you have a lot of transplants
from states that don't have snow. California.
Oh, huge. I remember growing up with the snow.
I lived in some weird places. One of them was
Colorado. And I remember my experience in the
snow of Colorado Springs, Colorado. And you get
on toboggan. And I remember my sister, my brother,
and I. I was in the back. My sister was in front
of me. And my brother was in the very front.
Have you guys ever been on toboggan? Oh, yeah.
So you understand how it works when you go down
a hill and who's going to get sprayed? like it
just goes everywhere to the sides so the person
in the front gets hammered gets pelted with the
the the updraft that's coming when you're going
down it hits the snow and shit's flying right
up in his face and i remember and i was in the
back just like oh yeah this is fun And my brother,
he ended up, he had a jacket on. He had a little
slit here. And I remember it was all fucking
ice. And you could tell he's crying, but you
couldn't hear him. And you couldn't see his face
because it was all covered up. You just see him
cut up. Sounds like me on Lake... Oh, when we
went fishing with Mark Levinka. It was awful.
awful. Yeah, we used to go to... What did you
get for wearing a cotton freaking outfit? I don't
know what I wore. I had no idea what it was going
to be like. That was ridiculous. If we look back
at Paul, I swear to God, he had a frozen mustache.
Could have been. Yeah, awful. We had a park that
we would go to. It was called French Park. It
was in... It was by... It was in the Cincinnati
area. And when it would snow, it was up on a
hill. Cincinnati, believe it or not, it's hilly.
It's not flat like here in Texas. And we used
to be able to go, gosh, I want to say at least
half a mile on a sled. When I say a sled, you
know the two rail kind, right? So me and my buddy,
we'd go down Admore Way because we were probably
9, 10, so we weren't super heavy. One of us would
get on the bottom, the other one would climb
on top, and we'd go down, and we'd go all the
way as far as we could get, and you'd go down
a, there was a street first, and you'd go like
that, and then you'd turn, and you'd actually
go down a big old hill. And like I said, it'd
take, it was probably half a mile that we could
go down this thing. So then you had to walk all
the way back. Oh, it was great. We didn't give
a shit. Climbing up the hill. It didn't matter.
Oh, yeah. Oh, that's so cool. Yeah, it was a
blast. That was part of it. I remember going
up a tree. meaning top of the hill, all the way
down the hill, hit the tree. But for some reason,
I get to go up. And so I went up like three or
four feet and then came right back down. Yeah.
That was cool. Yeah. We had a behind our house,
you know, where I said that I climbed up into
the sewer. Oh, yeah. Well, we had a creek back
there. So we had woods and we had a creek. Well,
the creek obviously just kept going, but we had
a big old hill. that we would always go out to.
And we'd ride down there. We'd get a toboggan
or the round dishes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right?
Like in Chevy Chase style. Yeah, Chevy Chase
style. Boom. So, yeah, we'd ride those. But there
was a creek right at the bottom. So you had to
maneuver. You had to turn your sled so you'd
go next to the creek. Because if you didn't,
and this has happened to me. You went into the
creek? Into the creek. And it was probably about
a six -foot drop down into the creek. I mean,
that's how kids get killed. Were you able to
swim out of there, or were you able to stand
up? No, it wasn't a deep creek. It was probably,
I don't know, six, seven inches. Yeah, but you'd
fly off that thing and smack it. I mean, just
no roaring rapids. No, it was no roaring. It
was all frozen, too, so that was another thing.
Oh, even worse. It's amazing we survived that
shit, man. But part of the thing was is we'd
get going so fast, your friends would push you,
then we'd build a ramp. So you'd come off the
ramp. What could go wrong there? It was near
the end. So you'd lose control. Yeah. So that's
what happened to me. I was like, and all of a
sudden it's like, right off the side. And they're
like, I just disappear. So yeah, that happened.
What a nightmare. Oh, the stupid shit we do.
We survived. Oh, there we go. Yeah, here's Chevy
Chase. Yeah. He's oiling up his... Well, he worked
for a chemical company. He was coming up with
a protective... A lubricant? Well, it was a coating
for a cereal. And it turned out it was just a
protective coating. And he sprayed a little bit
on there. Such a stupid scene. It's like he would
die. Yeah, he does take off on that little silver,
little metal disc. See you, dudes. Hold on. So
stupid. That was so fast. Great movies. Yes.
We just watched that. Yeah. That was the first
time we watched it probably since it came out.
I really enjoy. Good stuff. You know, I was watching,
working from home. I was kind of. We're not incredibly
busy, but I got to do work, and I don't mean
to make it sound like that, but my point is I'm
working. I've got my TV on, and I am playing
just random shit. I don't know if you guys do
this, but I do this. I'll pull something up like
Star Wars, something you've seen 100 times, at
least I have, or any movie that you've seen 100
times that you don't have to watch it. You can
kind of almost background buzz in the back. Well,
I put on this movie that was kind of a chick
flick. Nine to five? It was Proposal with Ryan
Reynolds and Sandra Bullock. Great movie. And
I enjoyed the movie, and I bought it temporarily
while it's on prime. You're renting it? I'm leasing
it until the lease runs out, whenever that is.
God bless it. That's another topic. So I'm watching
it, and the movie ends, and I'm working. So I'm
paying attention to it, but at the same time,
I'm working. So when the movie ends, I don't
really, I'm just kind of moving along. And then
all of a sudden, another movie comes on. Oh.
Just kind of follows up right after it. Oh, sure.
Let's watch this movie. Which is normal. Cinderella.
Cinderella pops on. Which version? I don't know.
The latest one. You know, not the black people
one. Do they have a black Cinderella? No. I get
a little confused. I don't know. You're thinking
of Sinners? Cinderella. Okay. No, you're thinking
of Wicked. You're thinking of Wicked. Maybe.
I don't know. But the point is, is that who the
hell does Prime think I am? Just because I want
to watch a chick flick every now and then. Where
there's your wife and you have daughters. No,
we have our own account. She's got hers. I got
Sean. It's probably all algorithm together. Yeah,
Prime didn't know that you were by yourself.
My feelings were hurt. I was kind of like, really?
Really? All the stuff I watch, you could have
put on. Anything, but you put on Cinderella.
Well, he's like, he sat through the entire proposal,
which is a chick flick. Let's put another chick
flick on Cinderella. Yeah, you were expecting
Arnie, Arnold Schwarzenegger. You know, but there
are chick flicks out there that I like. I mean,
I really enjoy watching Cinderella. You know
what another, it's not a chick flick, but it
could be, I don't know, Passenger 57? Oh. Is
that with Chris Pratt? No, no, no. Passenger.
Passenger. Passenger 57. And that is a great
movie. That's not a chick flick, though. It's
not? I don't think it is. Well, I mean, it's
a huge love story. Well, yeah, but I don't know
if it's necessarily a chick flick. Love story
equates to chick flick. I think there's enough
science fiction and romance to attract both.
It's a rom -sci. Ha! Gay! A rom -sci? As opposed
to a rom -com. Oh, wow. It's a rom -sci. Break
out the little booklet and start taking notes.
See how we're like hip and... I'm thinking that
we're going to carve our path. Not really. Ram
Sai? Ram Sai. How about Sai Ram? Sai Ram? I think
she does full frontal in a new movie she came
out. Oh. Well, she didn't do it in this movie.
No, not at this one. But hold on. Yeah, she's
on the beach. She's beating up guys on the beach.
She's full frontal. Yeah, full frontal nudity.
Yeah. That's important to note. Oh, she was like
a older woman and someone that hired her to date
their... Something like that. It's actually not
a bad movie. No hard feelings. No hard feelings.
Yeah, it's pretty good. That nerd in that movie,
though. My God. It what? The nerd that she has
to hook up with because she's getting paid. Yeah,
he played it perfectly. Yeah. Yeah, perfect role
for him. I've never seen this. Oh, is that Matthew
Broderick in there? No. Yeah, he was the dad.
Oh, the dad. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry. Yeah,
there's the scene where she's on the beach and
she beats up all these guys. Anyway, really good.
Good movie. But yeah, I mean, there's nothing
wrong. You know what? I mean, these are kind
of, I guess they're chick flicks, but I mean,
you're right. There are movies that are like
really good ones. Right? What would be another
one? What did you open up over there? A can of
beer? Beverage. Is that a Dr. Pepper? I got to
tell you something about Dr. Pepper. You know,
I've never heard this before in my life. All
right? Ever. Okay? I was going down, doom scrolling,
and Dick Clark pops up on this 1968 commercial
with Dr. Pepper. And he's talking about, and
there's this little party, and it's out in the
cold, and then there's a little summer party,
and then they're all drinking ice cold Dr. Pepper,
and then it turns out they've got some snow on
the ground, and there's a snowman. And for those
other drinks, some people like to drink their
Dr. Pepper warm, hot. Like a hot toddy. And they
describe in the commercial, yeah, just warm it
up in a skillet and put a slice of lemon in there
and you got another party trick. And four shots
of bourbon. Did he say that? See if you can pull
that up. 1968 Dr. Pepper. Do you remember the
Laverne and Shirley where they would make hot?
Pepsi and milk or something like that? It was
Coke and milk. It was Pepsi or Coke and milk
or Pepsi and milk. Laverne would do that. What?
That was her drink. No, she wouldn't make them
hot. She'd just mix them Coke and milk. Was it
powdered milk? Oh, that sounds gross. Could have
been back then. But no, I think it was the old
glass jars. Yeah, just pop that in there for
a second. I thought it was so interesting because
I've never seen that or heard that before. I've
never heard of this, no. And people were thinking
I was full of shit. Hi, I'm Dick Clark. You know
when the weather is sunny and hot? You and I
really go for a delicious ice cold Dr. Pepper.
The soft drink that goes so well with hot weather.
Deliciously different. What does a 10, 2, and
4 mean? When the weather's hot, Dr. Pepper tastes
great cold. And when the weather's cold, that's
when Dr. Pepper tastes a great hot. Hi, Max.
He walks into a little party going on. They've
got a punch bowl filled with warm Dr. Pepper.
They have some other shit there. And they drink
it using a zarf and a little... Did they show
the after party on this one? I don't know. No
after party. So 10, 2, and 4. So interesting
how the power of suggestion on there. The old
Rockefellers making us have three squares a day.
Is that what that means? Right. It's got to be.
Well, the 4 is in the wrong place. I don't think
it's really. They want you to drink it at 10,
2, and 4? Yeah. Interesting. Well, it's not if
it's a clock, right? It goes around clockwise.
2 looks correct. 10 is correct. Yeah, but if
you're pouring it, it's correct. Oh. Is that
what it is? No. Interesting. Well, you know,
a little Dr. Pepper trivia. It's been a long
damn time. Well, you remember the song back in
the day with David Naughton singing it? The I'm
the Pepper song? I do not. I'm a pepper. You're
a pepper. I don't even remember who's the guy
you just said? David Naughton. How would you
know that name? Because he's an American werewolf
in London. Oh. It's that guy. Oh. So find that.
Find the, yeah, here you go. Oh, yes. He's the
one that becomes the werewolf, isn't he? I drink
Dr. Pepper and I'm proud. I'm part of an original
crowd. That's him? Yes. It is, for sure. And
if you look around these days. What the hell?
There seems to be a Dr. Pepper craze. I'm a pepper.
He's a pepper. She's a pepper. We're a pepper.
We like to be a pepper too. They had some fantastic
commercials back then. I mean, the Toys R Us
commercial. Yeah, back when they had jingles
and songs and dances. I mean, why would they
come out with that again? Just reinvent this.
They should. Because Mad Men doesn't exist anymore.
You know what? But they reinvent everything.
It's like they take everything. from 30, 40 years
ago and they repackage it and they put it back
out. They put a spin on it and they put a deck
on it and make her sing, you know, just like
they make it all, you know. But you know, the
only ones I remember now that have dancing and
shit is all the pharmaceutical ones. All the
pharmaceutical ads they have. Portrayed by actors?
Well, I mean, the ones that like, you know, they're
talking about, you know, while they're sitting
there dancing around, they're like, it could
result in your liver failing. It could result
in death. It could result in, you know, all these
horrible things that can happen to you. Meanwhile,
they're dancing around a fountain. Oh, yeah,
that's true. An infection in your taint or something
like that. And they're looking at each other
and hugging each other and doing all these happy,
friendly things. Your bowels will fall out. There
was some talk of... I remember before the election
about, I think J .D. Vance was on Joe Rogan maybe.
And I think that came up where to stop or to
stop allowing pharmaceutical companies from doing
these commercials. To glamorize their medicine.
Yeah, to cut that back because it's ridiculous,
especially during the day because I guess they
assume just old retirees. Or during the day.
I got to get me some of that. Yeah, so it's all
pharmaceuticals. I'll be happy and hugging people
and dancing around a fountain, too. Oh, I just
can't wait. Yeah, it's all pharmaceuticals and
financial help. Right. And these guys have some
disposable income. I mean, it may not be much,
but if they don't buy anything, they got everything
they need, and they're at that retirement age.
They're like, hey, I'll drop $100 on this. How
often do people watch that commercial and then
go to their doctor and say, I want Papa Lemme
Lamb because I saw that commercial? Well, because,
you know, I want my perforated intestine to happen,
you know? But, you know, I mean, the whole commercial
industry, doesn't it seem to be in a decline
because of, hold on, let me rephrase that. I
don't know. Does it really seem to be in decline
since we don't have the three major broadcasting
networks anymore? You can skip commercials anytime
you want for the most part. To some degree. I
think the commercials need to catch your eye
or your ear. I'm not going to say that's Dr.
Pepper, but something like that would at least
cause me to pause. It's a catchy tune and everything.
You're like, what is this? I've seen it once.
I'm going to fast forward. Geico does a great
job of keeping your attention for funny, short,
Yeah, there's funny short skits. And before Dylan
Mulaney, I mean, there was like, what's up with
Bud Light? You know, those were fantastic, Bud
Light. Oh, man, remember the Super Bowl was always
the beer. Beer commercial competition. Yeah,
the commercials have not been as good over the
last five, six, seven years. And the Super Bowl
was like the showcase. That's where all these
competitive commercials come out. It was actually
part of the program. We really enjoyed that.
People would grade them. Oh, yeah. And now it's
just like, oh, my gosh. I tell you what, the
whole Super Bowl program that's coming out, you
know, the halftime show. I don't even know. It's
some Hispanic gentleman that's not even going
to sing in English. It's Bad Bunny. For an American.
English Super Bowl, they're going to have some
dude that doesn't even speak English. It's even
worse. He said today, I saw a headline that said
he is going to be wearing a dress, so be ready.
I'm not watching it. I'm not watching it either.
Do we have alternatives? Yeah. What about the
Charlie Kirk? What is the turning point? Weren't
they coming up with some sort of alternative
Super Bowl halftime? Yes, the Turning Point is
going to have an alternative Super Bowl show,
but they're not telling anybody who's on it.
It's going to be a mystery until they reveal
it. And it's going to be on what channel? Probably
online. Is it a pay -per -view? Probably, yeah.
For real? I would think they would make it free.
Oh, come on. They definitely should make it free.
They want free advertising. Or a dollar. I mean,
what would the platform be? Their website? Because
you want people to watch it on their TV. Yeah,
what am I going to do? I'm going to leave the
game and go to YouTube on my TV and then watch
it on YouTube? Details on the venues and exact
broadcast method, streaming versus TV, remain
undisclosed. So they're keeping it under wraps.
I've got two weeks to figure this out. They're
going to need a very efficient way for people
to get to it. Right. Unfortunately, I think that
if they don't do it right, could hamper their
goals. Yeah, it could backfire. Yeah. All right,
well, let's process that. What are some platforms
in which they could do it? What if there was
like ABC, CBS, Fox? Who's hosting the Super Bowl?
CBS? I don't know. I don't know who has it this
year. But one of the big power companies, maybe
Turning Point has a relationship, but mostly
the power broadcasting companies are left -leaning,
aren't they? For the most part, yeah. I mean,
yeah, you could argue that. So that would only
leave Fox News. NBC is hosting the Super Bowl.
Well, you also want something that the masses
are going to have access to. YouTube, I think,
is the platform that they're probably going to
go with. The most likely. Yeah. Because you want
something that you don't want to have to have
someone go out there and download an app on their
TV. just to view this. You wanted to say... Some
event happened that way, and it was glitchy as
hell. And I want to say it was the boxing tournament,
the boxing fight with Mike Tyson. Right. Was
that on Netflix? Jake Paul. That was on Netflix.
And it was a disaster. You know, the reality
is most people, the majority of America that's
going to tune in to watch it, they don't even
know that they're going to be horrified. They
have no idea that it's going to be Bad Bunny.
They have no idea he's going to be wearing a
dress. They're going to be finishing the first
half, and they're going to be like, what the
hell is this? And they're going to be like, they're
not going to be prepared to go anywhere else.
They're just going to either mute it or turn
it off or who knows. But, I mean, for the people
that are aware of it, yeah, maybe this is a good
option. That's what I mean. Turning point. How
they do this is key. They need a big platform
that's easy to get to. And it needs to be like
Jennifer Lopez wearing something skimpy. Just
crotching it everywhere. Yes, and have her slide
up to the front of the stage and open her legs
and be like... You know what I mean? It's got
to grab you. Is MTV still in charge of the halftime
show? I don't know if MTV is. I think... Yes,
well, it's... Jay -Z, right? Jay -Z's, yes, Rock
Nation Productions are in charge. I don't know
if that's MTV. Which is kind of, I think it's
a subsidiary of. Well, maybe this disaster. My
point is, because you remember Janet Jackson
and Justin Timberlake, you know, it was the whole,
you know, ripping her top off and exposed her
boobs. And she goes, nipple gate. Yeah. But dude,
that, I mean, dude, that was like, that was like,
I had a computer and that was a long time ago.
And to have a computer that would record it.
and I was recording it. Oh, you were like technologically
ahead of your time. I mean, that's when I was
playing World of Warcraft. Actually, it was like
Command and Conquer Generals. I mean, I don't
think World of Warcraft, but it doesn't matter.
The point is I had the video of it. I was able
to go back and pause it, and you could zoom in.
And you saw Janet Jackson's boobie. Well, it
was interesting. She had like a star nipple thingy
on. It was a star. And the hole in the center
allowed the nipple to go through the hole. How
many times did you look at this? How many points
did the star have? And each part of the star
was a different color. What were the colors from
clockwise, like from the top to the bottom? It
wasn't different colors. It was more of a metallic,
and then it had a gold trim around the stars.
Oh, that's great. All right, go ahead. Look up
Janet Jackson's breasts. Oh, here we go. Yeah,
I want to see. Oh, there it is. I'll be damned.
That didn't take long to find. I don't see her
titty. Oh, such a vulgar term. See if you can
find the exposed boob. Maybe you need to type
that in. Well, no, it doesn't have to be exposed.
It can be a little bit blurred. No, come on,
man. You got to see it. I mean, you can't really
see it. Oh, there it is, the top left. Top left.
There it is. Oh, they blurred it out. No, the
top left. One more over. God. Great. Now we're
exposed. There you go. Look at that. That was
when she was in her prime, man. What the hell
just happened? Oh. She was in her prime for sure.
I don't see any nip poking through that. There
is. I don't. Yeah, you got to get in close. You
got to really zoom in. Get in there. What kind
of metal do you think she used? It was 9 16ths
of a second. Probably a pewter. 9 16ths of a
second. Now, what was the story behind that?
Wasn't... It was unplanned. It was planned at
the last second or something. What was his face
doing? The legs of the star is perfectly right
around the areola. He's the one that tore it
off. He just rips it off. He rips it off to expose
her breasts. Shocking. It did get a lot of publicity,
but at the same time... This seems to be a common
denominator with a lot of these shows that are
coming out. They got to remember who is the audience,
who's watching these shows. There are kids watching
the show. It is highly inappropriate to be acting
this way, even as much as I enjoyed watching
it. And most men, I guess some women, they enjoy
watching this stuff. It's inappropriate. Yeah,
the FCC wasn't amused. Yeah, they find. But I'm
sure in the back of the room, in close... quarters,
they were like, yeah, that was a good job. However,
we've got to act accordingly just because of
these rules. Yeah, and what was the act after
that, the year after it? It was Paul McCartney,
wasn't it? Paul McCartney or Tom Petty or something.
Yeah, it was something like ridiculously benign,
right? Yeah. Which was still cool. I like Paul
McCartney, but yeah, they went totally the opposite
direction. They took it too far. I mean, hot
dogs, apple pie. Milkshakes. I mean, come on.
This is the United States of America, and football
should be a representation of that. And having
some dude dressed up in a fucking dress. It's
not going to work. It's going to work. And you
know what? It's going to be super popular. It's
going to get a lot of attention, all for the
wrong reasons. I know. And I, for one, disagree
with it. The younger generations are going to
latch on to it. Yeah, but the younger generations
aren't the ones picking up those $5 ,000 seats.
That's true. So, again, they've got to look to
their base and figure out who are our audience.
Are we starting to sound like the old grumpy
guy? We are. The old man. Up in the Muppet Show.
Yeah. I think we're getting there. We are getting
there. But you know what, though? It takes guys.
like us, dudes like us, to stand up and have
these conversations because it's important. Yeah,
that went down really easy. Well, it's like drinking
iced tea. I mean, literally. I mean, this is
like 93 proof. So real quick, do a quick breakdown
of who played. So after Janet Jackson, was I
right? Was it Paul McCartney? Paul McCartney,
yeah. It was Paul McCartney. And then after Paul
McCartney, did they Rolling Stones? Then Prince.
Prince? Prince was a good one. I don't remember
Prince. Oh, yeah. That was a good one. He played
in the rain. He sang Purple Rain in the rain.
Oh, nice. Yeah. And then Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
Okay. That was fun. And then Bruce Springsteen
and the E Street Band. Not so much. And then
we didn't have one. What the hell? Where is...
Oh, the Who. Sorry. Why is that over there? It's
Wikipedia. Went to a different column. Okay.
Keep going. Keep going. Just get a couple of
these. We're tagging down. The Black Eyed Peas.
The Black Eyed Peas and Usher and Slash and then
Madonna. Madonna. Madonna. I don't remember that
one at all. Nice. Beyoncé. Beyoncé. Beyoncé.
And then Destiny's Child, Bruno Mars, Hot Chili
Peppers, Katy Perry, Lynne Craft. These are good.
Coldplay. Interesting. Beyoncé again. Lady Gaga.
Lady Gaga was a great, great, great performance.
Dude, she showcased some pipes that were unbelievable.
She is a phenomenal performer. She really is.
Have you seen her new concert? And she was totally
classy. Footage of her new concert? I bet it's
incredible. I don't know if I'd care to see it.
Did she dress like a sausage? No. Remember she
had the meat dress? Yeah, she's way into character
again. It's kind of strange. What does that mean?
What does she like? She wears weird costumes.
Yeah. You don't remember the meat dress? Yeah,
that was awful. You'll have to watch some footage
during halftime or something like that. I mean,
it's all her music, so if you like her music,
it's one thing, but it's quite theatrical. Did
she have new music? Stop my boat. I watched her,
I think it was a Netflix special that she had
on for some reason at four in the morning when
I had nothing going on. After watching Cinderella?
She's got an interesting life. She's just a Jewish
girl and she's had these pipes forever. She's
always sang. She's always had a vision of holding
herself up to a higher standard. I think with
that and her voice, she's so talented. She's
got such a powerful voice. Her real name. He's
got his real name up there. Stephanie Joanne
Angelina Germanotta. Germanotta. Or Lady Gaga.
Or Lady Gaga. Yeah. Interesting. I wonder where
Lady Gaga came from. I don't know. So anyways,
I'm not a huge fan of what's going to be happening
for the Super Bowl. Me neither. So I encourage
our listeners out there, if you hear this before
the Super Bowl, find out what alternatives you
have using Turning Point. Just Google it. Find
out what it is. Whatever it is, it's sure the
hell going to be a lot better than watching this.
This jack wagon. Yeah. I mean. Maybe we should
do our first live broadcast. Maybe we should.
Yeah. All right. What are you guys doing for
the Super Bowl, by the way? By the way, we're
having Super Bowl at my house. The traditional
Super Bowl where I'm going to have football squares
set up for everybody. I always have fun over
there. Yeah. Yeah. That would be fun. I'm not
too thrilled about who's in it. I mean, I would
much rather have had the Bills, but they got.
What about Vrabel? He's your coach. You know
what's weird is you always get these backseat
drivers. Actually, I didn't mean to say that.
It's these folks that will bring up points after
the game is over of things that could have been.
And I was watching some of these memes, and I'm
like, well, that is 100 % true. You know, like
the throw where he totally catches it, lands,
he's down, and then someone takes it out of his
arm. That's one. But there's some other where
guys are going in to... tackle the quarterback,
and there's no one in front of them. There's
clear line of sight, and then all of a sudden
they turn around and go the other way. Oh, you
mean like they deliberately don't sack the quarterback
or something? Yes, and it seems like something's
off. It's just like, was this by design? It could
be a, I can't get to him by the time he throws
it, so I have to go catch the guy. He just throwed
it to. And I thought that, but then he delays
for two seconds and then runs in. So I know there's
timing. There's a lot of stuff going on. But
it's not crazy what you're saying because there's
already a massive scandal rocking the NBA with
the whole. And college. And college with gambling.
Yep, gambling. Gambling's a problem now, especially
with the prop bets and all this kind of stuff.
So, I mean, dude. There's big money being made
when they don't do something or do do something.
Right. Yeah, but there's some clear, I don't
want to say it's evidence, but there's very condemning
evidence of seeing these scenes where you're
like, dude, you totally could have got them.
You could have totally caught that. I think you
have to be careful. I mean, yes, I think you
may be honest on it, but I also think you need
to be careful. They're taking a little snapshot
on time. You need to see what the rest of the
field's doing. That type of thing, right? So
yeah, it may look bad in that one little thing,
but what else was going on? I don't know. I haven't
seen it. I don't know. Just think about how easy
that would be. Let's imagine that the defensive
end and the offensive tackle conspire together
that somebody makes a bet that on the second
play of the game, the defensive end is going
to get a sack. Because you can bet on anything.
Right. That he's going to get a sack in the first
quarter. And I'm going to bet a million dollars.
And somebody bets a million dollars and the offensive
tackle says, okay, I'll let you buy. And then
boom, he gets a sack. And then boom, they both
get $200 ,000 each. I mean, it's that easy. I
mean, you got to make it believable. But you
see what I'm saying? I mean, with these prop
bets, I mean, that's something that's absolutely
doable. I think they're going to have to reel
back in some of this. this betting like this,
to be honest with you. Well, the cat's out of
the bag on it. It's going to be hard to rein
it back in. That's what I mean. It's hard to
rein it. They can do it. They can. They can lock
it back down and say, all right, no more online
bets or whatever, but it's going to be a fight.
I mean, already that one guy faked an injury
and came out of the game, so he didn't get his
numbers, and somebody bet that he wouldn't get
his numbers. Who was that? Some NBA player. Oh,
NBA. I thought you meant football. Yeah. I don't
care about NBA. They're investigating him. On
a side note, completely side note, hard right,
for our Dudes Like Us listeners out there, if
you are seriously interested in picking up a
Dudes Like Us challenge coin, direct message
us. We've got some beautiful, handcrafted Dudes
Like Us challenge coins. The official ones. Heavy.
You can't see too much, but it's in here. It's
nice and heavy. We'll probably post one on Instagram,
Facebook, YouTube, so you guys can see it. If
you're interested, very small amount of money.
What, like $5 ,000 each? At least. They're solid
gold, right? Yeah, they're solid bronze. So we
just want to pay for this bottle that we have.
And gold just went over $5 ,000 an ounce. I know
it. That's right. Insane. Yeah. I don't know.
I don't know if that's good or bad. Because I
think it indicates a lack of confidence in the
stability of the market. Yeah. That and Bitcoin
has gone down the tube right now. Is it? It's
going down. Maybe now is the time to buy. Well,
it's still probably $40 ,000. I will never buy
Bitcoin. But you can buy... How does that work?
You can buy little shares of it. I know. How
do you buy one one -thousandth of a Bitcoin?
It's all digital. It's all digital. I can't wrap
my head around it. Yeah, it's all digital. But
it's still a coin. I mean, I know it's not a
physical coin, but it's still... When you add
up 100 % of something, it's considered one Bitcoin.
I think the fact that it's 100 % digital, you
could dice and slice it however much you want.
There's no unit at all. It doesn't matter. You
just say, I have one ten thousandth of one. Because
you're not buying anything. You're not buying
anything. It's all theoretical. It's preposterous.
The only redeeming quality about it is that people
are stupid enough to continue to invest money
in it. But what's crazy is it has made thousands
upon thousands upon thousands of millionaires.
It's going to crash. I know. Is it like a – it's
not a pyramid scheme. It kind of is because you're
robbing Peter to pay Paul. You're not robbing
anybody. You're using your own money, and somebody
is – and it's going up. Yeah. There's a Bitcoin
farm that just opened up somewhere down in Texas.
And it's causing problems because they're consuming
all the energy to run all their servers. Yeah,
the mining. The mining is, I don't understand
that. I don't get it. Yeah, I don't know. The
mining for Bitcoin. So did somebody go out there
and create this stuff? Did they hide them somewhere?
I don't understand it. I don't get it either.
It's just crazy. Yeah, I don't understand. So
what are we looking at here, Mr. Producer? Oh,
that's all -time Bitcoin. All -time Bitcoin.
Oh, God. So look at it. If you bought $1 ,000
worth, $100 worth back in 2015, look at what
you... Oh, my God. Look at that. It is over...
It was over $120 ,000. Geez, that is insane.
And good for those people that have successfully...
Is it too late? ...made money on it. Is it too
late to get into this? I mean... I mean, some
people say it's going to go to a million. But,
I mean, there's a million other digital currencies.
Coins, yeah, but not Bitcoin. Not Bitcoin, yeah.
But if you're going to get into the game, I know
it's way late to get in the game, but if you're
going to get into it, would it just be Bitcoin?
I think unless there's a... Better one that comes
along. I mean, that's the thing. Is there always
going to be a better one that comes along? Yeah,
but what is better? I mean, it's nothing. Oh,
I'm going to invest in a better nothing. I mean,
it doesn't make sense. I know, it doesn't make
sense. Ethereum is one of them, right? I'm not
trying to justify it. I don't own any of it,
but I'm just saying if you're going to call a
digital currency anything, you're going to call
it Bitcoin. It's like Kleenex, right? Right.
Or Xerox. But I know there's Ethereum and there's
like, there's all... Yeah, and Solana and then...
Yeah, there's a whole bunch of them. Doge and
all that other kind of crap, but... The one and
only that's kind of universally tradable is Bitcoin.
Some of them are based on different things, but
the one that is kind of universal in acceptance
is Bitcoin. So if you're going to get into it,
that's the one to get into, huh? Okay, interesting.
And I think the other thing is they don't debase
it. Are they done debasing it? They're about
to be done. With the amount of total Bitcoin
that can be... mind. Once I get to that ultimate
number... It's finite? It's finite. It will be
finite. I don't know if it's there yet, but I
know that it will be finite. And then it becomes
trading. Then it becomes just a rare commodity
type of thing. How is it going to tap out? They're
just going to quit. You'll be able to... Who?
Who creates these? There's a certain... serial
number or something to it, right? But who creates
them? I don't know, Jeff. You're like a two -year
-old, man. Daddy, what's Bitcoin? I don't fucking
know. You just said there was a serial number.
You didn't answer my question. They're created
through the blockchain and there's a certain
amount of chain that they're going to make. in
order to encrypt this thing, right? And then
when they're done, they're done. What I'm asking
is, who is they? I'm not thinking unit dancer,
but who is they? Probably like Robin Hood? I
mean, who does that? This is the most impossible
thing to understand. Yeah, who is they? Who created
these? Do me a favor. I personally think it's
Putin. Do me a favor, because I bet you the people
listening to this podcast right now would love
to have the most simple... Can you go to Grok
or to ChatGPT and say, explain cryptocurrency
to a five -year -old or a ten -year -old? All
right. I would love to see what its answer is.
So Satoshi Nakamoto? Yes. He created it, but
he's not... And I don't even think that's real.
I think that's just a pseudonym. Oh, to like
a person who's... All right, so ask it. Please
explain the concept of cryptocurrency and mining
to an eight -year -old. Maybe beyond us. All
right, three -year -old. Let's see what it comes
up with because, okay, it's impossible. All right,
let's see here. Cryptocurrency is like invisible
money for the internet. I'm on so far. Instead
of physical coins or paper bills you carry in
your pocket, these coins are made of computer
code and live on phones or computers. One of
the biggest differences between crypto and the
money your parents use, like dollars or euros,
is that there is no bank or government in charge
of it. Instead, it is run by a huge network of
computers all over the world that work together
to make sure everyone's money is safe. How does
it work? Imagine a giant digital notebook, this
is called a blockchain, that everyone in the
world can see but nobody can erase. The rules,
when you want to send a digital coin to a friend,
the computers in the network check the notebook
to make sure you actually have the coin. No cheating.
Once the computers agree that the trade is fair,
they write it down in the notebook forever. Because
thousands of computers have a copy of this same
notebook, it is almost impossible for anyone
to cheat or change the numbers. Interesting.
I don't believe that at all. I don't know. You
don't have to. So there's all these computers.
Is my computer part of this? No. So what computers
are in charge of this? Actually, I go back to
whose servers? Well, I mean, it's just shared
networks. Whose servers house these? What computers
create Bitcoin? There we go. So there are...
Server farms out there. Correct. It's kind of
like, you know, there used to be a, like in your
own house, you can have a collective amount of
hard drives, like five or six, and you can pull
anyone out at any time, and it still has all
that information. All right, here's the answer
here. Bitcoin is created using highly specialized
computers called ASICs, application -specific
integrated circuits. Unlike your home laptop
or gaming PC, these machines custom -built to
do only one thing, solve the complex mathematical
puzzles required to secure the Bitcoin network
and mint new coins. That doesn't answer... Not
really. That doesn't answer... Like who's in
charge of them? Yeah. Who put this mathematical
equation out there and where did they put them
to go? to go mining. I don't know. That's what
I want to try to understand. Because they've
got, like, Alex at the house. He's got this machine
at the house, and it's like these circuit boards,
and there's probably six of them, and they're
constantly running. They've got this little digital
screen on there, and it's mining. He's mining.
He's mining at my house. Looking for Bitcoin.
Well, you can do that in your house. Yeah, anyone
can do it. Anyone can do it. Well, don't you
have to have? I mean, it's saying now. It needs
to be this type of computer, right? It's not
even on a computer. So I just have to buy a $100
,000 computer? No. That's not what he has. It's
not. What he's got, they're little tiny circuit
boards. And there's a little panel, a box, and
they fit in these slots. And the box fires up
the circuit boards, and there's a little counter
on it. And it engages the Wi -Fi, and it just
sits there and mines. And if it hits, that's
$88 ,000, man. Has he ever hit? No. Of course
not. So have you noticed your electricity bill
is like $800 a month? What he's doing is he's
helping the calculation happen. This complex
blockchain calculation happened. And as a reward
for doing that, he will get a sliver of a Bitcoin
for helping the network run, right? Oh, good
Lord. So it's not like he's out there just saying,
like with a... A metal detector on a beach trying
to find... Oh, so it's a shared space that he's
getting a cut of. He's getting a cut of helping
this calculation that really nobody understands,
but these computers can apparently do this chain
calculation, right? That he'll get a reward for
doing that. It says, why does Bitcoin need mining
rigs? It uses a system called proof of work,
and mining rigs compete. to solve cryptographic
puzzles. When one wins, it confirms a new block
of transactions. It secures the network without
needing any central authority. That's the key.
It's decentralized, yeah, and no government controls
it. No government, right. I'm essentially going
to walk away from this conversation not any smarter
at all. I'm going to agree with you. It's not
easy. It's what they call obfuscation. It's just
bullshit. And if you want to avoid it, I would
say you're probably smarter, right? Yeah. But
there are people that make money. So don't put
my 401k, the entire 401k into crypto. Not the
whole thing. Maybe half. Half. Did you hear about
the guy who lost the thumb drive in the dump?
In the trash? No. He finally gave up. He lost
the thumb drive in the trash? Thumb drive. I
think it's now worth like $145 billion or something
like that. Yeah. He wanted to ask the city if
he could go dig it up, the dump. And the city's
like, no, we're using the dump. Right? The landfill.
I'll give you half. I'll give you half, yeah.
Well, it's like the other guy that forgot his
password and he's used nine of the ten chances
and he won't try it anymore. And it's worth like
$360 million. It's probably more now because
it keeps going up. Oh, yeah. It's probably worth
more now. So the guy finally gave up his fight
and was like... It's gone. Damn. Damn. Threw
away the thumb drive. How do you live with having
given up $160 million? I don't know, man. How
do you? Okay. You just have to. You're just like.
Bitterly. I never had it. Kind of a thing. If
you guys had a thumb drive that had $160 million,
how secure would you make that? I would put it
in safe. It would be. Oh, you'd stick it up your
rectum. Yes. Oh, yeah. That's the safest place
for it. Oh, yeah. No one else is going in there.
No. Have you smelled him? Nobody's getting close
to that. You're going to find it, mister. We've
torn apart your house. You'll never find it.
You'll never find it. You'll never find it. Oh,
oh, oh. There it is. Milwaukee pickle that sucker.
Oh, good Lord. All right. So that's Jeff's security
system. Gotcha. That's where he mines. He's got
the little mining butt plug. Yes. Very nice.
Yes. Very nice. All right. How the hell did we
get on? And it vibrates. How the hell did we
get on a cryptocurrency anyway? I don't know.
Good Lord. I don't know. We went from Super Bowl
halftime show to cryptocurrency. Dr. Pepper led
us down this trail. Oh, yeah. Dr. Pepper. Maybe
that was it. All right. Well, let's talk about
Bonnie Blue. She's back in the news. Yeah. I
wanted to bring that up just because on one of
our past podcasts, we talked about Bonnie Blue,
and I had made the gesture. her that she's going
to go to jail for 10 years. And that she's American.
I did. I made a mistake. I apologize. She's not
American. She's British. She's from British.
We both knew she was British, but we didn't want
to correct you. Yeah. Is that what it was? We
want her USA to claim her. Right. And you were
like, so arrogant. You have to assume that she
was American. Anyway, you were thinking that
she was going to go to jail, and there's an update.
She did not go to jail. She's not going to jail.
However, what happened to her? banned. Recent
deportation from Bali. Following her arrest in
late 2025 during a schoolies tour in Bali, Blue
was officially deported from Indonesia in December
2025. While she was cleared of pornography charges,
she was still fined roughly $12 to $20. for road
violations related to the bang bus vehicle and
received a 10 -year ban from entering the country.
She got very lucky. She got lucky. For them to
drop the pornography charges, that right there
would have been multi -years, I can promise you.
It is an extremely conservative Islamic country.
She got fined 200 ,000 rupiah. Do you know what
a rupiah is? Oh, yeah. I lived there for five
years. $12 to $20. It's $10 to $20. Which is
why people are buying Bitcoin. For proper vehicle
use. She got off easy. Tia Billinger. Did she
ever? What? Tia Billinger got off. I'm not sure
she got off. She just kind of. How old is this
chick? She's 27. So she's apparently planning
her next stunt. And this one she's calling a
cattle breeding. cattle breeding thing she delayed
it from january to february because it needs
to align with her body uh cycle what is what
is her task uh she wants to beat her last record
i guess it was a thousand dudes in a day a day
i guess she wants to beat that so i don't know
i don't get it i really don't get it she was
abused when she's like 55 is she be like yeah
That was a good idea. How much money is she making?
Let's see if this is worth it. What is her net
worth? She's 26 years old. Born in 99. She's
younger than your daughter. She's Brandon's age.
Insane. All right. While her exact net worth
isn't public, let's see here. Blah, blah, blah.
Stating, okay, to over 2 million pounds. Monthly.
Monthly? Oh, shit. Two million dollars. No, no,
no. Two million pounds. No, it's 1 .5 million
pounds. Oh, I see that. Two million pounds a
month. Yeah. Huh. Well, she may see it as worth
it. Well, why aren't we doing this cattle breeding
thing? I'll film. Two million a month? I'm not
filming shit, man. Well, you shouldn't do it
because you've got your crypto thing. I'm going
to be the guy with the garden hose. I'll hose
you down so the place doesn't smell. Oh, my God.
Oh, it stinks so bad. God, we've already been
over this. And that was our highest watched video.
I'll build a stainless steel room with a nice
drain in the center. Kind of like the movie Saw
or something like that. We'll make it like a
little penitentiary background. Penetration?
Penitentiary. Penitentiary. Prison, essentially.
What did I say? Penitentiary. Penetrationary.
Penetrationary, by the way. Fallopian slip. I
wonder if she has any intention to have children
at some point. I would say no. At this point
in her life, she needs to make a decision. I'm
not going to embarrass my kids. Can you imagine
a child growing up like that? That's what I mean.
I mean, you've got these porn stars out there
that have begged for the industry to relinquish
their control on some of the videos they have
out there. Can you please take these off? And
they're like, sorry, dude, you signed on the
bottom line. You signed the contract. You made
20 bucks. That's not the story of the highest
grossing porn star of all time. What's her name?
I have no idea. Damn it. I don't know who you
are. Help me out here, Chuck. Nina Hartley? Look
it up. Highest grossing porn star. Like Janet
Jameson? It is Janet Jameson. Ginger Lynn? And
she is now a born -again Christian, and she is,
so it's amazing how your life, people don't realize
this, but I mean, you're not, life changes, right?
And you look back on the things you did, and
you're like, ooh, shit. She was married to Tito
Ortiz. She is a born -again Christian. I don't
think she still is. I think has kids, is married,
has kids. I'm not sure about the kids. But, yeah,
she's, you know. She was married to a UFC fighter
for a while. And. Whatever. I mean, Jenna Jameson's
pretty, but, you know, I don't. There is life
after the porn industry. Who was the. Not a very
good quality. Yeah, it's not pretty. Who was
the porn star? That was underage when she was
making the porns. And that was a huge scandal.
She said she was like 18 or 19. She lied about
it? Yeah, so she lied and she was like 15, 16
years old, I think. Tracy Lords. Yes, Tracy Lords.
That was back in the 80s or 90s. I saw that video.
Dude, she was acting as a carousel. And with
four different guys. I was just like, God bless.
Yeah, okay. Actually, Tracy Lourdes actually
showed up in some sort of TV show, didn't she?
Yeah, she's been in a couple movies. Whatever.
There is life after these horrific career decisions.
And this wasn't even, this wasn't horrific, but
I mean, it's also, you know, this is misguided.
She was misguided. Wasn't her dad like? Oh, I
don't know. Instrumental in trying to get her
into the business? I don't know her. All I know
is her age. I don't know her backstory. That
would be awful. All right. Anyway, the other
thing with Bonnie Blue is that Facebook, ABC's
Facebook was hacked. And Bonnie Blue, and explicit
photos of Bonnie Blue were put on, very briefly,
put on their... Like a bunch of places? On the
ABC Facebook. On January 27th, ABC's Facebook.
The official ABC News Facebook page was compromised
via a staff account breach. Explicit images of
Bonnie Blue and fellow creator Lily Phillips
were briefly posted to the page's 4 .9 million
followers before being removed. Blue responded
to the incident with humor on social media, reportedly
telling the broadcaster to tell your IT guy I
said aye. That's funny. She's probably like,
everyone's seen my crotch at this point. God.
Thousands of guys. Was she just, like, beaving
at her or something like that? I don't know.
Well, you can imagine if it was explicit. Yeah.
Anyway. There is nothing tantalizing about that.
No. Not really. There's nothing. It's just, like,
painful. Not really. All right. Well, that brings
us up to a big old changer here. We're going
to jump on to our bourbon of the day. Yes, it
is. How long have we had this? This is one of
our very first ones. I bet we probably had this
for five years. Wow. I bet. And it's been hiding
off. It's Long Branch. Yeah. And it's a product
of wild turkey. It is. This was, I don't know
if it still is, but I know it was one of the
celebrity ones with Mansi McConaughey. Yeah,
that was his signature bourbon. What do you say?
Well, well, well. What do you say? All right,
all right, all right. All right, all right, all
right. Well, now he's part of the, he's with
Bradley Cooper and those Uber Eats. Oh, God,
that was awful. So annoying. He's in the truck
going, what's he saying? Food, food, food. I
was like, stop. We don't really need it recreated.
It's because he's got the munchies. It's a huge
proponent. Yeah, but it's a really annoying commercial.
Right. So this is like, like Sean said, this
is a wild turkey. with Matthew McConaughey. Okay.
This is aged eight years. Nice. That's respectable.
Yeah, the age is nice for what it is. It probably
costs 35 bucks is my guess. That's 40. Yep. Proof
is 86, so basically it's tea. Yeah. We can be
snobs on this one. But it's sweet tea. It's such
a light. It's caramel. It's sweet. It's got a
little slap of cinnamon. Like a pear. I just
pick a very standard bourbon, sweet bourbon.
It's very light. I don't taste like stone fruit.
I don't taste a very light nutmeg. It goes away
super fast. It doesn't last at all. They said
when Wild Turkey hired McConaughey, making him
the highest paid creative director in the ad
industry. They were most likely going to want
to get the most out of the arrangement. They
not only wanted to bank on his name and have
him... Can you scroll up a little bit more? And
have him write and star in their own commercial.
They wanted his help developing a new Wild Turkey
expression with his name on it. Enter Long Branch.
There we go. All right. Well, it's not bad. They
shelled out a lot of money for him to... It's
not bad. I mean, I could drink this. I mean,
I wouldn't kick it out of bed, but is this something
we'd replace? No. At this point, no. No. I wouldn't
replace it. No. No. Unless you want something
on hand for non -bourbon drinkers. I mean, if
it shows up and it's $30, I will always remember
Long Branch. Is it solid? Yeah. Is it something
I would get for a party? If you're throwing a
party and you need to diverse some booze, this
is excellent. Yeah, it wouldn't hurt. Yep, so
Wild Turkey Long Branch 86 proof, an eight -year
small batch Kentucky straight bourbon, refined
with Texas mesquite and oak charcoal, resulting
in smooth, sweet, and smoky profile. Features
notes of caramel, vanilla, toffee, and toasted
oak with a gentle smoky, slightly spicy finish.
I don't pick up any smoke. Oh, no smoke. I don't
pick up any smoke. I don't either. Yeah, I don't
get any of that. None. Maybe it all evaporated
from sitting in the cabinet for eight years.
Yeah, maybe. Maybe the glass absorbed it. Yeah.
Oh, my God. I think glass absorbed it. You know
how retarded that sounds? But you know who said
that? You know why that really grinds my gears?
I was at a fire for my job, and one of these
contractors came to me and said, we got to get
rid of all these windows. They absorbed all the
smoke smell. I was like, no, it didn't. No, dude,
I've learned. You don't even respond to that.
You don't even. I'm just like, all right. I haven't
heard that one. That's unique. And I just kind
of let it go. Whatever, man. Wow. But that kind
of rings a bell. When you said that, I was like,
because that's fresh. That happened last week.
That is the first time anyone's ever said that.
Right. And this was a roll -up garage door. So
it's all glass. I was like, dude, you're an idiot.
An idiot. All right. I guess we should rate it.
For an 86 proof, gosh, I can't even tell you.
We had that proof in a while. Yeah, I tell you,
86 proof. You got to think. You got a 10 -year
Michter's, all right? That was 95. It was at
95? That was 95, yeah. Dude, I'm at a four. I'll
go five even. I'll stick right at five because
it's average for what it is. Very, very average.
It's average for what it is. I'll go four. I'm
sticking with it. That's all right. That's fine,
yeah. It's better than Eagle Rare. Oh, for sure.
I raised Eagle Rare to a 4 .3 or 4 .2. Is that
on there? I raised it to a 4 .2 or 4 .3, right?
We will never let you live that down. That's
so sought after, too. For something that people
are so proud of, I've got Eagle Rare, and you're
like, that's a fucking 1 .2. It's horrible. It's
horrible. Worst shit I've ever had. It's not
horrible, but it just wasn't. The hype. It's
the hype. Come on. It wasn't available, and now
it's available everywhere, and they're selling
it for 50 bucks, 45 bucks, and it's not even
worth that. It falls in the same category as
Buffalo Trace. Well, it's a 10 -year. Is it now
12 -year? Juice in there, though. So you're paying
for some age. 10 years is standard. 12 is the
next one up. I wouldn't mind trying out the 12.
Hold on. Every Eagle Rare is automatically 10
years. You've got to respect that, though. We're
at a 5. Rebecca's Creek is at 12 years. You can't
remember what the hell, dude. Yeah, I'd give
that a 1 .42. I mean, look, the regular basic
Rebecca Creek, come on. There's nothing special
about that. It's not 12 years. I don't want to
talk about Rebecca Creek, given my story that
I shared with you guys. Remember the picture
I shared with the evaporation? All right. So
the dude's like us listeners out there. So look.
I ask for thoughts and prayers. Is that evaporation
or suns? I said the same thing, but Paul's kind
of like, oh, my boys wouldn't do that. I'm like,
you're a fool. No, I'm actually positive it was
100 % evaporation. I think Chuck went over to
your house one of these days. Yeah, maybe. Okay,
no. That's a likely scenario. So half of it's
gone. Not half. I would say probably 35%. I don't
believe it would evaporate that fast. Man, I
actually think I may have taken a pull out of
that bottle. You son of a bitch. I don't remember
doing it, but I don't remember not doing it.
You wouldn't do that. You wouldn't do that without
asking me. I mean, this is like one of those...
I didn't know what it was. Cherished. First of
all, for our listeners out there, this isn't
just Rebecca Creek because that is absurd to
say out loud. It is the double barrel Spanish
oak Rebecca Creek that was put out Two years
ago. Which is super hard to find. Three years
ago. And it was a commodity. You found it everywhere.
And they were like, it was kind of like, oh my
gosh. Like 138 proof? 126, 123. Yeah, they were
all over the place. 120 to 130, somewhere in
there. It was great, but it was like 45 bucks
to 55 bucks. And then it started like, oh, we
just continued that. And the secret got out,
right? At first, we were all like, whoa, this
is amazing. I think our podcast gave it away.
It is. We should not have talked about it. Well,
I've got two full bottles at the house. Do we
have another bottle here? Well, it's open. Yeah,
well, I meant we have one though, right? Yeah,
it's probably half full. I luckily have another
bottle that's unopened, but I decided to take
one of those precious bottles and throw it in
my very special crystal decanter that I got for
my wedding like 30 years ago. It didn't seal
it very well? Well, it's a crystal decanter.
I didn't think, I mean, it's not like... It doesn't
have a cork. I don't think it evaporated like
that. It 100 % did. I don't think so either.
Because ChatGPT told me that that is a chronic
issue with crystal decanters. It told me that
they are solid. I did the same thing, and it
specifically said, that's funny. Paul and Jeff
asked the same question, and we lied to Paul
to fuck with them. I asked. Yeah. So, Jeff had
traveled somewhere, and he brought back a bourbon
from Kirkland, the Costco purchase. Remember
that? Oh, yeah. I poured it into my decanter,
because as soon as you mentioned that, I did
a little measure. You did what? I measured. Oh,
yeah, yeah, yeah. I poured the entire bottle
of the Kirkland bourbon inside a decanter that
was gifted to me. Right. Because it looks nice.
Yeah, I mean, it's really cool. The decanter
I have is a crystal decanter. It looks really
nice. But I took it, I dumped it in there, and
dude, there was like maybe 10, 15 % gone. Yeah,
but you have to, I mean, we have to compare the
tops and everything. So you have a seal. Yeah,
mine is just a glass. I'm like, there's no rubber,
there's no cork, there's nothing. It's just a
glass. Well, it's a glass cork, right? No, there's
no cork. So it had a seal. It is a glass. The
whole top of it is 100 % glass. Yeah, but it's
sealed. It should be sealed. No sealed at all.
Yeah, but glass to glass is a pretty solid seal.
Well, this one apparently is not because a lot
of it evaporated. I blame Sean and your boys.
I don't know. I 100 % do not blame my boys, but
this is definitely a candidate over here. That's
the most likely. If something was taken from
the bottle. What percentage was missing? Without.
Without permission, this would be this guy right
here. You said 35%. I would say easily 35 % of
the battle. That is significant. It's significant.
Did you taste it? It's still good. It's still
good. And it still has the alcohol content and
everything? Because the alcohol would be the
first thing to burn off. That's interesting.
I would love, we need to get one of those little
devices. Chuck, can you look that up? How much
are those devices that we'll get you? It's under
$10. Is it really? That can measure the proof?
Yeah. Oh, slap my ass. Okay, so that's actually
a perfect proof right there. I mean, if we measure
it and it's like dropped to 110, that would prove
that alcohol evaporated. Hydrometer, right? Yeah,
hydrometer. We're doing it. We're doing it. The
dudes like us are going to split it six ways.
And I think we should test all our bourbons to
see if our bottles are accurate. They say it's
110. I call bullshit. That's going to be a new
thing. Before we drink it, we test it, and we're
like, why are they lying to you? To test our
infinity bottle. I'd love to find out where that
thing sits. That's a great idea. I'm in. Now,
for 10 bucks, I didn't realize it was that much.
All right, order that thing. How much is it?
Oh. Six bucks. Six bucks? Are you kidding me?
Yeah, you didn't say it was that much. Get a
12 -pack. That's retarded. You got to pour it
in there, though, right? Or is it floats? Is
it floats? Yeah. Is it really that, is it accurate?
Like, let's get one that's accurate. Let's not,
like, fuck around with this. Well, you know,
it's got the little graduations on it that you...
Why, go to the reviews. Okay. All right, Amazon,
this is the hydrometer, the alcohol from zero
to 200 proof of registers. It needs to be higher.
It's only 88 between five and four stars. Find
a more expensive one. Go to the $8 one. The $8
one? Shut the fuck door. Get a digital one. Yeah,
get a digital one. Oh, that's a blood alcohol.
Got that one. Sean's going to blow a 3 -6 again.
I was just going to say that. It'll blow Sean
up. First half of the Dudes Like Us podcast,
January 27th. Chuck, thank you for staying on
top of shit as usual. Our producer, Mr. Chuck,
thank you very much. You guys can check us out
on YouTube. Yes, you can. We've got some shorts
out there. We can check us out on Facebook and
Instagram. And... And TikTok. That's right. And
TikTok, baby. Oh, my gosh. I'm totally going
to jump on TikTok. Is Bonnie Blue on TikTok?
I don't know. I am not going to follow her. I'm
going to make it short. I'll make it short of
what we talked about tonight, and we'll send
it to Bonnie Blue and see what she thinks. Unbelievable.
She'll love it. I'm embarrassed. I don't know.
I'm Sean from Dudes Like Us. I'm Paul. And I
am Jeff.
