It's all flayed out. I don't need to do my...
That was athleticism right there. I pulled a
shoulder. My shoulder just jointed. Holy shnikes,
what a day. God bless. It's Tuesday, 2026. It's
the first week of February. Oh, my God. We are
in the second month of 2026. And it's like spring
outside. The fucking weather's nice. It is. Today
was nice. It was very nice. And I think the rest
of the country is, not the rest, but a lot of
it's like zero. Yeah, I talked to my sister,
and she's like, it's zero degrees up here. I'm
like, no, it's like 65 down here. Yeah. I saw
some motorcycles out today. I was like, all these
guys are itching to get on their bikes at the
first possible moment. I'm the same way, but
I don't take it to work. You should have. The
morning traffic is too unpredictable. Why didn't
you ride it last week to work? I should have.
I thought about it. Put some spikes on your tires.
Do they make snow chains for motorcycles? I don't
know, but that would be stupid. Spikes. Spikes.
Is that in a movie? Like James Bond, right? Or
road warrior? Yeah, sure. Yeah, it's probably
Mel Gibson. All right, well, we've got a producer,
Mr. Chuck, on the helm over there making sure
our shit goes right. And we've got video. For
you factastical people out there. Yeah. Yes,
yes. Yeah, I made that word up. You like that?
Fantastical. Oh, is that what I said? Yes. Yeah,
we'll go with that. That sounds like something
from Willy Wonka. I said factastical, but that's
more fun for me. Anyway, dudes, I guess I'm Sean.
I'm Paul. And I'm Joe. And where can you check
us out on? YouTube. Well, the videos are on YouTube,
baby. YouTube, TikTok. Instagram. Instagram has
the videos. Those are where the videos are. And
Facebook. And Facebook. And then the audio podcast
is on all your favorite podcasts. Yeah, you just
pick one. They're everywhere. Check us out. There's
dudes like us. We're great. We've got great commentary.
We do. We do. Just ask us. We say what you're
thinking. We've got like five people listening.
Our parents. It's our parents. No, my parents
don't listen anymore. Oh. Yeah, we lost. We're
down three. Damn. Now it's awkward. There's just
two left. We lost a lot of listeners. That's
so fucked up, man. That was dark. So for those
listeners out there. Jeff and Paul's parents
have passed away. Thanks, Sean. Yeah, thanks
for the reminder. Yeah, listen, I'm not up for
this tonight. I'll talk to you guys later. Way
to rub it in. Did you have parents? Well, you
know, Super Bowl's coming Sunday. All over on
a face. Is that a comeback? Well, you have my
parents. At least the halftime show. Have you
guys heard? We talked a little bit about, what
is it, Butt Bunny? What's his name? It's Butt
Bunny. And he's a freshly awarded Grammyist.
Is he the guy that was... Did he say potato and
a bunch of people... One guy was supposed to
win money? Who said that? I have no idea. Part
of betting? There was something... Where somebody
said, oh, Noah underscore 66 or something. You
just won something on this one website. And I
just used the word potato. You just won some
money. Are they betting on the Grammys just like
they do sporting events now? You can bet on anything.
I mean, from what I gather in Las Vegas, you
could literally bet on anything. Almost anything.
So I guess that's one of them. I don't know.
Seems kind of, you know. I was going to say conspiracy,
but it seems like you're cheating if you know
somebody that knows somebody. Yeah, if you're
like, all right, I'm two people removed. Hey,
make sure he says this so I can win $200 ,000.
Do you think you're going to have to be two people
removed? Do we want to talk about the Grammys
real quick and just get this off our chest here?
Yeah, you brought it up. There's a compilation
of stuff going on. I mean, what is the British
Isha? What's her name? Billie Eilish. Billie
Eilish. You were so clear. That was very hard.
You know what? I don't even care. Yeah, it was
hard. It was hard to listen to. Even harder to
watch. I didn't watch any of the Grammys. Zero.
The only thing I saw in the Grammys were the
stuff that they posted on the news and some of
the memes, which was hilarious because they're
saying just stupid shit. Like one of the hosts
is getting sued by Trump waiting and says, by
the way, my lawyers will be reaching out to your
restaurant. That was Trevor Noah. Trevor Noah?
Well, yeah, because he said something about the
Epstein. He said that he and Bill Clinton visited
the island. He was like, okay, wait to hear from
my lawyers. God, people are just ding -dongs.
They really are. And you know what? Well, they
used to be able to get away with it. Now they
can't, not as easily. Well, in their circles,
I mean, it doesn't matter what they say. They're
all clapping seals. We're on stolen land. Part
of that has to do with the Barack Obama change
of the Smith -Munt Act in his office, in his
team, while he was in office. He changed the
parameters of the Smith -Munt Act. I don't know
what that is. It is, part of it, what he changed
about it is that The TV doesn't, you don't have
to tell the truth. You can lie. You can say propaganda.
You can say anything you want. Nice. And so I
don't know if they're going to use that, but
you can ask yourself. As a defense against Trump,
you mean? Well, as a defense of anybody. Does
that outweigh slander and libel, though? I guess
so. I don't know, really. It can't. It can't.
I don't know. I guess not since so many people
are suing these CNN, like the young kid that
was out in Washington with the Indians banging
the drum in front of him. In his face. And Kyle
Rittenhouse. And they're going after Whoopi Goldberg.
I don't know, man, whatever. But it's just, I
don't know. What were some of the highlights
of the stupid comments from the Grammys? Well,
the one that I find kind of funny is Billie Eilish.
Is that her name? Eyelash? It's Eyelash. It's
Eyelash. He's mocking her and he's going to get
sued by Trump. Paul thinks she's incredibly sexy.
Oh. I don't think she's hideous. I think she's
cute. Okay. Maybe. No. She's hideous. And I've
never seen her, but Jeff claims that she's very
jugacious. She is. She is. Anyway. Okay. So her
statement yesterday. was something about... No
one's illegal on stolen land. Yeah, no one's
illegal on stolen land. So she lives in L .A.,
and the first people, the first Angelenos of
California is the Tongva tribe. Well, the Tongva
tribe still exists. Right. So they reached out
to her or posted on X or somehow put this out
there. The indigenous inhabitants of the Los
Angeles basin known as the first Angelenos said
they appreciate Eilish's sentiment, but noted
that the performer hasn't contacted them directly
and insisted that next time she explicitly referenced
them. And Eilish has not contacted our tribe
directly regarding her property. We do value
the instance when public figures provide visibility
to the true story. It's our hope that future
discussions, the tribe can explicitly be referenced
to ensure the public understands that greater
Los Angeles basin remains. I can't even read
that. Gabrielle Lando Tongva territory. So basically
she's saying you're on stolen land. Yeah. But
didn't you reference like her $4 million property?
Yeah. That's what's on their land. Oh my God.
So they were like, Hey, thank you so much for
pointing it out. And we'd love to have your house,
but I'm pretty sure she wouldn't. willingly give
it up. I don't know. Something tells me she would...
Well, I paid for this. I didn't steal it. And
she's on. That's so hypocritical. She's literally
on stolen land. Oh, that's funny. By anyone that
says that, I mean, it's just full of... I mean,
she's butt juice. I mean, come on. It's so dumb.
It's so dumb. Why would you say that? I know
why they say it. They're probably getting paid
by this crazy thing out there, you know, where...
I don't even know. I'm thinking George Soros,
but I don't know. It's just they're ignorant.
They live in a bubble because they're rich. They're
either being paid or they get brownie points
for it and they'll be invited to the next big
party or into the next recording contract or
whatever it is. Yeah, they're just virtue signaling.
That's all they're doing. I don't think they
understand how it works. And how history has
evolved. It's the bubble that they're in where
everyone, it's a huge echo chamber. So that's
all they hear. And they're wearing their little
ice out pins and bill bill maher went off on
them on that did you see that video no no oh
yeah he went off on the all the ribbons and the
ice out pins and all this stuff and he was he
was giving a hard time because someone reached
out when he was on the red carpet or something
like that they're like well how come you're not
wearing your ice out pin and he said something
good and he's like it's no different than the
woke mob trying to force right You know, force
people to virtue signal. Wear the ribbon. Why
aren't you wearing the ribbon? Right. I don't
want to wear the ribbon. Fuck your ribbon. Yeah.
What else did that? It was on the Jerry Seinfeld
show. That was Seinfeld. With Kramer. He didn't
want to wear something. That was the gay or the
breast awareness. And he was like, I'm not wearing
a ribbon. Yeah. And he wanted it. And he was
like, I don't want to wear it. I don't want to
wear it. And the people were like, get him, guys.
He doesn't want to wear the pin. They started
chasing him. He's like, I don't want to wear
it. Kramer is hilarious. In other words, even
back then, they were making fun of the virtue
signaling ribbon people. Any other highlights?
I figured they were all, maybe all of them, but
they were doing their normal political... They
all did. I don't know about all of them, but
there was a handful of them that did. She was
one of the main ones. The bad bunny dude or dudette
or whatever he is did the whole... fuck ice thing
and all that shit. We're going to have to figure
this out. When we get the podcast award, we've
already said we never watch these shows. The
Golden Globes, the Grammys, we don't watch any
of them. People's Choice. I don't want to be
hypocrites here, guys. Are we going to just storm
up to the stage and be all giddy when we get
our award or are we going to just boycott? Fuck
Biden. We're going though. We're going the opposite
way. Yes. With an elderly man? He's probably
going to be well dead by the time we get any
kind of award. Good Lord. He may be. Who knows?
But, you know, I don't know. I mean, if we ever
get an award for anything, hell yeah, I'm showing
up for it. I mean, but the thing is, I'm not
going to be sitting in any soapbox. I'll be like,
you know what? I want to thank everybody. Period.
Oh. Except for Paul. Oh. Oh. Are you going to
be wearing it? I'll be safety doming it right
there in the middle of the stage. Whatever. Are
you going to wear like a tuxedo t -shirt? I think
I'm going to wear some lederhosen. Ooh. Formal.
Formal. We've got to think about this stuff.
Or tactical kilts. I think tactical kilts. If
you guys have not been watching our trending
or trajectories right now, we're going to be
on that stage. So we've got to think about what
we're going to say and what we're going to wear.
All right. Well, dudes like us, listeners out
there, pay attention because you could be, I
mean, this is breaking news. We'll say potato.
Potato. We'll say potato. You know what's crazy?
He did say Noah underscore something. I just
noticed Noah Cahan. Was he there at the... I
don't know who that is. Is he a comedian? Who's
this guy? I don't even know who he is. Trevor
Noah was the host. Oh, Trevor Noah. And he's
a comedian. Mr. Producer Chuck. He's a commentator.
Can you pull up Jelly Roll Grammys and what he
said? It was a lot of Jesus. Yeah, yeah. But
he killed it. Oh, yeah, show us that one. That'd
be a great one. He killed it. I hope they have
a small little video of this where he went up
there and he was thanking God. He kind of sounded
like a pastor up there. He was good. It looks
like he's lost a ton of weight. Oh, yeah, he
did. So he did say something about, like, Jesus
is not, no, no one party owns Jesus or something
like that. Go ahead and smack that. Smack that.
I know they're going to try to kick me off here,
so just let me try to get this out. First of
all, Jesus, I hear you and I'm listening, Lord.
I am listening, Lord. Oh, boy. Second of all,
I want to thank my beautiful wife. I would have
never changed my life without you. I'd have ended
up dead or in jail. I'd have killed myself if
it wasn't for you and Jesus. I thank you for
that. I thank you for my label, Broken Bow. Country
Radio, baby, what's up, dog? Oh, Republic, John
Manili, we did it, baby. There was a time in
my life, y 'all, that I was broken. That's why
I wrote this album. I didn't think I had a chance,
y 'all. There was days that I thought the darkest
things. I was a horrible human. There was a moment
in my life that all I had was a Bible this big
and a radio the same size and a six -by -eight
-foot cell, and I believed that those two things
could change my life. I believed that music had
the power to change my life, and God had the
power to change my life. And I want to tell y
'all right now, Jesus is for everybody. Jesus
is not owned by one political party. Jesus is
not owned by no music label. Jesus is Jesus.
Everybody can have a relationship with him. I
love you, Lord. Amen. God bless. That's invigorating,
isn't it? That actually was awesome. You know,
it was great to see that. Well, I wonder how
many of the people like Billie Eilish, where
she just kind of sitting there going. She's like,
but we're on stolen land. Yes. He's not spouting
the message. No. He's not wearing a ribbon. But
you know what? So there was the opposite side.
You know, it was good to see that. It is always
great to see that. That's what I said that I
think I'd like to see more of are some of these
actors, actresses, musicians to stand up, and
I think they have the opportunity now to speak
out where they're still going to get shit, but
I don't think it's going to be as bad as it was
four, five, six, seven, eight years ago. Yeah,
some of them. Well, one of them who stands up
regularly is the mom on Everybody Loves Raymond.
What's her name? Patricia Heaton. Patricia Heaton,
yeah. She's always very vocal, especially about
Israel and, like, anti -Semitism, right? Well,
they will— She is, like, hardcore, not afraid
to say everything. Part of the problem is the
executives that are in Hollywood are libs. Yeah,
and they're listening. They're listening, and
you're going to get blackballed. Yeah, 100%.
Unless you're too big, kind of like Chris Pratt,
right? I think Chris Pratt is able to get up
there, and he doesn't cross over too bad, but
he says what he means about— His faith and stuff
like that. Yeah, good for him. But he doesn't
go on rampages and makes political statements
like the libs do. And be divisive, yeah. You
know. That's the key, man. Don't be divisive.
Yeah. Agreed. That is the key. All right, so
we got through another Grammys. Yay. Yeah, and
I didn't watch it. I didn't watch any of it,
and I had no interest in watching it. I mean,
I do love music. I do enjoy it, but let's be
real. I mean, I fit that cliche like my dad when
the Grammys were about when I was a kid. I have
no interest in any of that music. Zero. Yeah.
It just isn't for me. Nowadays, it's sad because
my news feed's going by, and it talks about this
actress and this musician, and I have no idea
who they are. None of them. For the longest time,
I didn't know who Sabrina Carpenter was. And
my son was like, Dad, you don't know who Sabrina
Carpenter is? I was like, no, I have no idea
who that is. I don't know who that is. Exactly.
There you go. She's like the next Britney Spears.
Is she the hussy that she prances around half
nude? Yes, blonde. Yeah, okay. I don't know her
music, but I've seen pictures of her. And then
my son was like, Dad, you would recognize some
of her music. I was like, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't.
My music is my 300 playlist. Well, listen to
this. This is a key music industry trend. Oh,
yeah, there you go, Sean. There's Sabrina Carpenter.
Okay, we need to get to know her. Oh, wow. Is
that old? What is this all about? That's kind
of... She's very... She dresses very provocatively.
Oh, yeah. Is this... She got, like, an OnlyFans
or something? No, that's how she dresses. That's
what she prances around in. In concert and shit.
What the hell? Whatever, man. She's selling her,
whatever. I mean, that works for me. The industry
trends currently right now, one of the stories
is industry and AI news, Spotify reportedly paid
out $11 billion in 2025, while Deezer reported
that up to 85 % of AI -generated music streams
are fraudulent. What does that mean? Spotify
paid out $11 billion. Look up Deezer. D -E -E
-Z -E -R. Deezer is another Spotify. I think
it's a higher quality audio. Is that what it
is? Spotify paid out $11 billion to artists,
you're saying. You know what? It was kind of
confusing, and now that I'm reading this, I'm
like, well, maybe I shouldn't have said anything.
You have immediate regret? What it's saying is
that Deezer, there are people that are listening
more and more to the AI -generated music. And
they don't even know it's AI. That's right, and
it's through the Deezer. This says up to 85 %
of AI -generated music streams are fraudulent
in using Deezer. Fraudulent. Yeah. Well, I mean,
like AI generated. Oh, okay. So if you're calling
AI generated music fraud, then okay, I would
agree with that. And we mentioned in the green
room. Well, hell, some of the AI music is like
in the top charts. Well, we mentioned in the
green room like AI. is going to probably start
being able to generate music somehow, even by
itself. And this could be one of the things,
one of the means for it to gain some of the money
is they're going to create a music streaming
service. They're going to prepare or make their
own music, and they're going to sell it. And
AI is going to, I mean, that is some crazy shit
if you start wrapping your head around that.
Well, there's a ton of, I don't know, this AI
music that they've kind of reimagined classic
hits. Right. Oh, yeah. So we played, I think,
Back in Black once. We did. Well done. It was
good. Sounds good. And hey, Chuck, go to YouTube.
And I think it's been a while since we played
that. I don't want to play that one. There's
another one out there. Look up fake music TNT.
Have you guys heard this one? Is that ACDC still?
Yeah. Is it like a blues version or jazz? It's
funk. Oh, that's right. The funk channel. Not
the Latin soul one. The next one. That one there.
They can't dig us for this either, can they?
So this is a remake. I don't even know the word.
Of ACDC. In the middle here, keep going. He pulls
a Sean when he says they're in the chorus. Tons
of energy, man. They need some Trumps. Are they
going to start doing some trumpets here? They're
in there. That is crazy that this is the world
we live in right now. The people in the Grammys,
really, they need to wake up because people like
Billie Eilish, the way she makes her music is
based on AI looping and stuff like that. She
takes little noises and says things. She can
be instantaneously replaced. Yeah, just delete
it. Instantaneously. Correct. All of them can.
And just because she's... Very jugacious isn't
going to hold on to that reputation or career.
She doesn't show her jugs. She always wears the
baggy t -shirts and shorts, right? She doesn't
show her jugs. Well, she does, not what she performs.
So she dresses modestly? Like a boy. Oh. Yes.
I just love how there's different ways we can
say things. Yeah, I didn't want to use the word
jugs. I was trying to just use the word she's
very jugacious. Oh, that's better. Yeah, I think
that's way better. Yeah, it probably is. Because
people are like, what does Jukasius mean? She's
attractive. There you go. There's some pictures.
Oh, wait, hold on. Oh, I thought we were talking
about Sabrina Carpenter. You know what? I don't
even give a shit. I'm sorry. I don't find her
attractive. That's okay. All right, well, let's
move on with the Grammys, and let's go straight
back to the Super Bowl halftime. For those listeners
out there that don't want to listen to the...
Shit that they got going on. The butt bunny of
the halftime show. He's going to be wearing a
dress, so if that doesn't entice you. You can
jump on over to Turning Point. I don't know Spanish.
It's all going to be in Spanish as well. Turning
Point. Turning Point. You can go to YouTube,
Hulu, and you can do this alternative. Have they
announced the artists in there yet? They have.
Yes, they have. It's over here on the screen.
There we go. Look at you. The All -American Halftime
Show on Turning Point USA. Available on YouTube
and Hulu. Kid Rock. And Rumble. And X. So Kid
Rock's not country. We all know what Kid Rock
is. The other artists, I don't know who the lady
is, but the country. Some of the Kid Rock sounds
very country. Kid Rock crosses over. It's a crossover,
but some of it's the hard rock rap type stuff.
At least his early stuff is more like that. I
think his later stuff is a little more country
-fied. Yeah, well, Sheryl Crow, that album that
he came out with was very country. It's actually
pretty good. Surprisingly good. That duo with
Sheryl Crow is great. It's a great song. Lee
Bryce, Gabby Barrow. It's this Sunday. The All
-American. Is that what it says? So you're going
to need to make sure you have that all mapped
out. Ready to roll. Yeah, I'm ready to go right
now. You know, it's also on Samsung TV. Remember
how you said you have a whole bunch of channels?
It's on... Well, I sent that. I sent that text
that had everything, all the ways you're going
to watch it. Yeah, and I forgot the name of the
channel on Samsung TV. It says... It's on Rumble.
Charge. Charge. On Samsung TV. Does it say what
channel number that is? Does it say? Damn. They
don't have channel numbers in here. It says Samsung
plus YouTube TV, Hulu, and Slate. Yeah. Yeah,
but on Charge, that's on Hulu. If you have Hulu
Live, you can watch it on the Charge network.
I'm all jazzed about the new Samsung TV channels.
I knew I had, but I never really looked at them.
It's like... 470 of them. Oh, yeah. And it's
got all the... They repeat, though. They do.
They do. Not the channels, but, like, for example...
The music videos do. Well, the music... Well,
I mean, I haven't really done that, but just,
like, store pickers. What is pickers? Well, pickers.
We'll do that. Pickers. The guys on the... Go
to like estate sales? Well, there's two guys.
They're not brothers, but there's one short guy,
Mike. He's dead. You know that? Yeah, he died.
He passed away. But the older guy is alive, and
then he took it out with his brother. But anyways,
the Pickers. That's a great show. They travel
the United States going into people's houses
and just buying random shit. That's on the channel.
What is the Las Vegas? Pawn Stars. Pawn Stars,
yeah. You know, that show's pretty funny. I mean,
to watch the evolution of how the show happens.
But, you know, it's limited. You know, it's limited
on the amount of shows they have. But still tons.
We got into the kick. I think Brandon or maybe
Steven picked it up. It was maybe a decade ago.
Hardcore Pawn. Did you ever watch that one? I
love how they use the word pawn. I don't know
if I'm going to. I know. Hardcore Pawn. It's
a pawn store in, I think it's Detroit. Like downtown
Detroit. Okay. So they've got security, and this
family owns it. This guy owns it, this older
guy. He looks sleazy. He's got the gold chains.
He's slicked back hair. And his two kids, he's
got a son and a daughter. And they go out there,
and they bitch at the customers because they're
trying to finagle them. Yeah, the customers are
like, well, this is loose. He's like, no, it's
not. He's like, fuck you. Well, and they're also
creating drama for being filmed. Probably some
of them, but some of the folks, they have to
get to security and throw them out. So the overview
is the working man's bank is always willing to
make a deal. That's why for the people of Detroit
that go to pawn shop for more than four decades
has been American Jewelry and Loan. The series
follows its day -to -day operations, focused
on third -generation pawnbroking and company
patriarch Les Gold, a street -smart old -schooler
known for driving hard bargains but having a
soft heart. The family business also includes
Seth, Les' only son, and his business partner,
daughter Ashley, and the shop's general manager.
Les's wife, Lily, but there's no question who
the boss is, and he's often heard reminding them
for more than, he's got like more than 40 employees
right now. I'd recommend it. It's kind of entertaining.
Have you guys ever even gone into a pawn shop?
Yes. Have you sold something or bought something?
I've tried to sell something. They weren't interested.
What were you trying to sell? Serial butt beads?
Was it a plaster? A plaster of you? That was
just me. Oh. Hi, my name's Jeff. You were trying
to sell yourself into sex slavery? Yeah. And
no takers, huh? No, it was a watch that... Jesus.
It was a... Casio. There was a tag. We don't
want you. It was a tag, but it was broken at
the time, so I got it fixed. You tried selling
a broken watch? Is that what I understood? It
was a tag, yes. It was a tag. Hewer, or however
you say it. Yeah, no. Hauer. Yeah, Hauer. Those
are nice. Is it real? 100%. Well, you didn't
even want to get it fixed? Those things are worth
a lot. No, I've got it fixed. Oh, you did? Yeah.
And then... I wear it. Nice. I haven't worn it
in a while, but... I love tag towers. Those are
nice. I've never heard of it. They're like three
grand. Yeah, they're not cheap. Yeah. I mean,
they're not Rolexes, but I mean, they're really
nice. Did you try to... Yeah. I don't have a
Rolex either, but have you ever sold something
in a pawn shop or bought something? Man, I've
went into a pawn shop once, and it was just because
I was next door to one while I was buying bourbon.
You just wanted to check it out? I was just like,
hey, what's this all about? I walked in here
and I was kind of like, all right, it's a big
shop. I looked at the prices and I was like,
get the fuck out of here. Oh, really? Yeah, I
mean, they were just like, you know, you go to
a pawn shop, they're going to get, you know.
Like an estate sale. Yeah, it's like, come on.
It's market price. You know, it's $5. I'm looking
it up. I'm like. It's $5 less or more brand new.
Did the whole family come out and say, get the
fuck out of here? Something to do with the baseball
bat. Get out of here, you loser. They had barbed
wire around it. Looked like the guy from Night
of the Dead. What is that? The zombie show? The
Walking Dead. I wouldn't go to that place. There
are the tags. Very nice. There was one I was
looking at. I wanted it so bad. That Shelly was
like, well, let's just buy it. And I finally
said no, and I'm so glad I didn't. Because it's
kind of dumb. It's the green one. For $5 ,100?
It's the green one. I know exactly which one
it was. It was. Oh, no. I'm telling you, I really
wanted that watch. Click on it. Zoom in on it.
I want to see it. I didn't realize they'd gone
up in price like that. Isn't that beautiful?
I don't feel that way. Now I want it again. Really?
It's all coming back. None of that does anything
for me. I like nice watches. Like a Patek. Nothing's
better than the garment I'm wearing right now.
It tells me my sleep score. Accurately? I'll
be damned if it's pretty damn consistent, I should
say. It knows when he's had a few drinks. It
knows. I'm always skeptical on that sleep stuff.
I've been impressed. But how do we know it's
accurate? It knows maybe from your... or something
like that, that you're not sleeping well? It
is, yeah. Breathing, heart rate. But how does
it know when you're in deep sleep? AI. Because
there's like three or four versions. Yeah, it
knows light sleep, deep sleep, REM. Well, this
one, yeah, that one does as well, but I always
question it. And it knows awake. Here's the other
thing, it knows awake. Like, even, I've actually
kind of, this is crazy, but there'll be times
when I'm awake, and I'm kind of frustrated that
I can't sleep, and I... I don't move. I deliberately...
I mean, I can understand if you're reaching for
the light or you're checking your phone and your
arm's moving around, it assumes that you're awake.
I deliberately don't move the arm, and I'll be
damned if it knew exactly the times that I was
awake. So it has to be breathing. Or it has to
be... Because when you're in deep sleep, your
breathing slows. Oh, yeah, and it's really deep.
It's like... Yeah, and when you're awake, it's
like... That's when you're masturbating. It knows
when I'm masturbating. That's crazy. I was like,
ding, ding. Well done, Paul. Sends Shelly a text.
I have no response to that. He's doing it again.
Notification. Paul has just climaxed. Shelly
gets on my app. She's like, why are there 477
incidents of... Okay, I shouldn't have said that.
Ejaculation? That's gross, yeah. 477, wow. It
measures throw, too. Throw. Really? Okay. Stop
talking. We're being recorded, for God's sakes.
All right. Your video, your face is going to
be on. It is. My face is all red. All right.
What else do we want to talk about? Oh, we talked
about the NFL Super Bowl show. So, yeah, I'm
excited. I am going to be ready. I'm going to
be ready to switch over and see how that is.
Do you guys even want to see how bad that bunny
is? No, I'll see highlights. They'll figure it
out, yeah. We don't have to watch it to know.
I don't want to give it a shred. We can illegally
stream it so we don't get counted. Perfect. Perfect.
I'm going to completely change the channel. Yeah.
I have no desire. And you know what? This is
the way you make change. You got to do it. What
if your kids come down and they're like, Dad,
bad buddy, let's watch it. Well, go to your friend's
house. Put it on your phone. Our kids aren't
seven anymore or whatever. Do that again. Dad!
Dad! Yeah, I don't... Bubby. First off, you're
an empty nester. Yes, they're not. So, yeah.
I guess you still have to deal with bounding
kids and excitement. My kids are so disrespectful.
Oh, boy. Today is the situation. So, I'm like...
Dude. I go downstairs. I get up this morning,
right? I'm an empty nester, damn it. You know,
it's like there's dishes... And so I'm just like,
what the fuck? And then, I mean, they cleaned
them reportedly, allegedly. Allegedly. And I
pick up one of the pans and I'm like, it's in
the clean pile. All the other dishes around it
are clean. Like, who cleaned it? But this pan
is clearly not clean. And I set the pan down.
I take a picture and I shoot it to Emily and
Madeline. Oh, boy. I said, this is not clean,
but it's in the clean pan, a pile. And then I
go out to the garage and... there is leftovers
of some marijuana stuff that's just out. And
I'm like, I don't want to see that. Right. I
don't want to see it. This is my garage. It's
bad enough. Look, I don't want them doing it,
but I would rather them do it at my house than
go somewhere else to do it. So I've kind of tolerated
it. But you also don't want to just have it be
in your face. I just, yeah. If you're going to
do it, do it. and then put it away. It's kind
of like pouring a bottle of wine. You pour a
bottle when you're done with it. You put the
bottle back where it goes, and then you wash
the glass. You don't sit there and let it fester.
That's basic shit, man. I sent it, and you would
think all hell broke loose between my two daughters.
I was so frustrated with them. They have zero
respect. None. You would think, yeah, I'm sorry,
Dad. I used to do that. I'll do better next time.
It's not even, sorry. But you're saying they
like attack you. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, who
are you to tell us anything? Oh. And so I'm responding,
I'm one of the owners of the house, you know?
And it's just like, and then my whole time I'm
like, why am I even responding to that? Right.
You know? And then finally I just stopped. You
know, I deleted all the messages because I didn't
want to have to go back through it and - Get
all riled up again. Yeah, because, and look,
I didn't say anything negative. Bad. I mean,
I didn't throw them. I wasn't ugly, in other
words. I would just say, hey, look, I just want
you guys to do better. I want you to clean, you
know, just, dude, you don't pay rent here. Right.
You're fucking 29 years old and 25 years old.
Right. That's frustrating. Figure it out. You
know? Yeah. Whatever. It's just one of those
things where, you know, at least in my life,
dudes like us out there, anybody else that chime
in with their responses, direct message me. Yeah.
You're like that. Damn me. Yeah. Same thing for
me, man. But my point is, my kids would probably
appreciate the halftime show. I won't, though.
I would imagine my boys, if they're watching
the Super Bowl, they're not going to change it.
You should text them and go, hey, you watching
the Turning Point halftime? They're like, what?
I'll tell them that beforehand. Yeah, just go,
hey, you need to go watch this instead. I will.
I will. We'll see how that goes. Kid Rock, he's
old. Who the hell is that? You look skinny. Is
he a meth head? I got to be honest. I don't even
know those other performers. I don't either.
I've heard of the two dudes. The lady, I've never
heard of her. What's her name? Gabby something?
Gabby? Gabby Barrett. Gabby Barrett. Is she country?
She's 25. So they're all kind of country. They
kind of. Span the gap between Kid Rock and country.
Oh, she's finished third on the 16th season of
American Idol. Right. You know, a lot of people
are just scared to go on here because, I mean,
they were on board with Turning Point USA. They
were on board with, you know, not on board with
Bad Bunny, and they probably got the invite,
and they're like, yeah, I can't risk that. I
wonder if Nicki Minaj is going to make an appearance.
Nicki Minaj? Yeah. She should. Dude, she. She's
a huge supporter. She is. And I'm telling you,
man, somebody interviewed her, and they were
talking about how Don Lamont was talking shit
about, because she had talked shit about Don,
you know, being arrested and what he was doing.
In the church. Yeah, and then Don was kind of
like, oh, she's a racist, she's this, she's that.
And then she said something like, that cocksucker
can just stop. Whoa. That's all she said. Throwing
down. I mean, that's it. Yes, and then she got
accused of being a homophobe. And she's like,
no, I just called him a cocksucker. I don't know
what you're worried about. That's just a word.
Yeah, I mean, but he's gay. But he does, right?
The fact that he doesn't actually do it has nothing
to do with her calling him a name. She should
be like, I am one, too. If you're going to go
that route. Yeah, just completely nullify it.
I was going to say, well, women do it. I mean,
the good ones do. Okay. What? No, I agree. Weird.
Weird conversation. But what was I going to say?
Oh, you know how Carrie Underwood, when she sang
at Trump's inauguration. Oh, yeah. Okay, you
know how you said too big to fail or too big
to be canceled? She is too big. But there are
circles of celebrities that are saying, I won't
even look at her. Well, they're doing that with
J .K. Rowling as well. Oh, right. J .K. Rowling's
got a fuck you money. billionaire i know it she
just keeps and she is not shy about saying okay
i don't give a shit what you say and she's not
a conservative in any sort of the world she just
has her opinions on women's rights yep she does
right but they're rebooting that whole thing
genre and she's not invited to come help consult
or anything like that there's you're kidding
you're gonna do it without her did she completely
sign away those rights rights i don't know Are
you telling me that they're rebooting the Harry
Potter stuff without her? Yes. How can they even
do that? She should be able to say, no, I'm not
giving, I'm not giving. Maybe she did sign it.
That's what I made of that. She sold them. She
must have. Sold them. I don't know. Oh, my God.
That is insane. You know, now that you mentioned
it, I think she did sell them. That is insane.
I don't know. She's the author of the Harry Potter
books. I know. Yes. And she was homeless at one
point while she was writing the books. Yeah,
she wrote them. She was living in a car. She
has an amazing story. For her kid. Amazing story,
and she is a huge advocate for girls and women.
Well, it says that. She signed off and is actively
involved in the new series. Oh, good. All right,
so that's misinformation from our producer. Good.
He just fact -checked himself. She's not writing
the scripts. Well, but she signed them off on
them. So she's got some oversight. But you know
what? Thinking about Game of Thrones, I mean,
George R .R. Martin. Yeah, R .R. Martin. Yeah,
he didn't write those. He wrote the Game of Thrones
books. The books, he didn't write the series.
Yes, but he had the same type of oversight or
overview. I was like, how did he allow the last
season to happen? It was awful. The way they
closed it out. He should have said, no, we're
not going to end my series like that. That's
horrible. Anyway. Maybe they don't have a lot
of creative say -so. Say -so, yeah. Maybe they
just gave. Hey, we just gave you $300 million.
Why do you think they did that to the Game of
Thrones? Why they just did that? Apparently,
they wanted it to wrap it up quickly, and that
was the fastest way to do it. Yeah, but why?
Actors were moving on. The directors already
had another gig lined up. They were done. That
was a massive injustice, what they did to the
ending of that series. It was. It was a great
story. Even the fight series at the very end,
where it was all dark, I'm like, why would they
do that? Oh, and Arya was flying through the
air and attacking the Ice King. But there were
scenes where... It was just dark. It's just like,
why would you do that? It doesn't make sense.
I kept resetting the video settings on my TV.
This is bright. It's dynamic. Everything's on
the brightness high, contrast high. Turn out
all the lights. Have you watched this show yet?
I have. The night of the 17th. Did you see the
dong on the guy? On the sir? On the knight? Yes,
I did. Hold on. One second. What? Yeah, here
we go. Is it the dong? The dong. So you guys
are looking at other dudes. Well, it's about
three quarters of the picture. Yeah. So when
he kind of walks out naked and his dick is that
long, you kind of miss. He's like a horse. Yes.
Are you sure it wasn't a horse? Was it a prosthesis?
100%. It was a prosthesis. Prosthesis. Prosthesis.
I heard on the radio. Did you see the serial
number on the side? There's actually a, someone
did a study of the length of penises on HBO shows.
Oh, my God. On the HBO shows specifically? HBO
shows, because they use prosthetics. Oh, so they're
gratuitous. Oh, yeah. And they're like, you know,
in this show, this guy, his was 10 and a half
inches. Flaccid. On this show, it was, they were
like the top five. You know, this one was 11
inches. So they're really wearing prosthetics.
Yes, 100%. Really? Yes. How dumb. And then this
guy, this guy, he goes, and the number one is
Sir Pennywise or whatever his name is at 13 and
a half inches. So that was all fake too. Yeah.
Great. And he urinated through it. That's like
a barnyard animal. Yes. How did he urinate on
that? I don't know. He was standing there. He
came out and took a leak. And you'd watch the
whole thing. And you're just like, cool. Yeah.
Neat. All right, so this is what the Dudes Like
Us show has turned into. Yeah. We talk about
cocksuckers and prosthetics. 13 and a half inch
flaccid wieners. Wow. Do we want to talk about
celebrity deaths while we were on that topic?
Speaking of penises. We had some big ones. We
had one really big one. She's sweet. Yeah. That's
a big loss. Yeah. Catherine O 'Hara, she was
the woman in Home Alone. You know, I know her.
And Schitt's Creek. She was a Beetlejuice. She
was a Beetlejuice as well, right? Beetlejuice?
She was in the Beetlejuice. And Schitt's Creek
really was one of the ones because there were
many episodes of it. You could see her character.
That was a good show. It's funny. She's hilarious.
All of them are. She had some sickness, didn't
she? They didn't say what it was. They did not
say, but they noticed she was gaunt in recent
months. But she came out and said that she was.
Had something that made her... Throughout her
whole life, she's had something. No kidding.
But we don't know. I don't remember the name
of the disease, but yes, there was a kind of
a wasting disease. A rare disease. I mean, she
led a long life. She was 71. But she was an OG
SCTV. You know, that's how she knows Eugene Levy
and John Candy and all the people that she performed
with all over the years. What was the show that
you mentioned? The SCTV, Second City. They all
came from Canada. They went to Chicago and performed
with Belushi and all those guys. Oh, I did. I'm
not aware of that. Yeah, she goes way, way, way
back with all these OG comedy people. So Chuck
said she led a long life. 71, huh? That's 15
years for us. Can you take that back? Because
that just makes us feel too close to death. She
was on one of the shows. I believe it was her.
She was on a dog show. Not a real dog show. Yes.
A mock dog show. It was a fake. The best of show.
The best of show. Yes. That was, oh, that's up
there. And the best of show. That was her husband.
It was hilarious because they were doing some
sort of interview. And they were talking to her.
I think it was her. And they were like, oh, and
she had, oh, you must have had a lot of boyfriends.
And like maybe 25. She goes, oh, no, I've had
hundreds. And her husband looked over and, oh,
hundreds. I don't recall that. And he's like,
wait a minute. Paula? is that you she's like
herb you know and it's like there are several
encounters where i think there's several encounters
where she meets people and she's like john is
that you she's oh and he looks at her husband
and they're totally disrespecting him oh the
things i did to her oh it's so funny i literally
found out about that show today best best show
oh it's funny and it's called a mockumentary
Dog show, yes. Yeah, who's the guy? Christopher...
That's Eugene Levy. Pardon? Christopher Guest.
Yeah, that's... Is that his name? That's him
again. Well, that's Eugene Levy right there.
I know, from Schitt's Creek. He's hilarious.
Yes, he is. Eugene Levy. He's great. I think
his son's kind of funny. He was good in Schitt's
Creek. His son is Schitt's Creek as well. Now,
is that her on the right? Yes. That's her on
the right. Okay, I just want to make sure, because
they look different, but... And so they've been
in several shows together. Right. Oh, yeah. Look
at that. Oh, yeah, she was in the last of us.
I never even saw that. Yeah. Last of Us. Is that
where they get the, there's a virus going around
or something? It's a fungus. A fungus? Yes. I
need to watch that. I heard it was really good.
It is. Make sure you watch the second one in
depth. The second episode? Is that the gay? Is
that the gay? Yes. You can 100 % skip that one.
Unless you want to watch it. Oh, but you exactly
know what it's about. It's the second season?
Seven minutes and 22 seconds in. I remember you
lamenting about how ridiculous and over the top
that was. It didn't forward the show at all.
It was completely unnecessary. Correct. That's
so typical. That's so typical. Yeah. Okay. Maybe
it's the director's fantasy or something. I don't
know. Why do they do that kind of stuff? It's
a well -made show, though. Okay, what other...
Skip episode two. Well, no, that episode was
well -made. It's just, you know, you didn't agree
with it. The other one is Lamont from Stanford
and Son. Yeah. That's too bad. Yeah, that's who
he was. I saw that, but it didn't really... He
didn't really register with me. I don't really
have that connection. He was the straight guy,
right, for Red Fox. Hey, dummy, get over here.
I think this series had one of the better theme
songs out there. Play a little bit of that, Chuck.
That can't be close. That's a good one. I guess
we're going to find out here in a second. You've
never heard of it? Oh, I'm sure I'll recognize
it, but I've never watched the show. I watched
it a little bit back in the 70s when it was on.
Yeah? Yeah. I think it was already at reruns,
though. All right. He's looking it up here. Yeah,
and Red Fox would say some pretty controversial
things. Well, that's what's wrong with the court,
Judge. A black man ain't got a chance down here.
I'm black. Well, you're the judge. That don't
count. Listen, why don't you arrest some white
drivers? I do. You do? Well, where are they?
Look at all these niggas in here. Look around
here. There's enough niggas in here to make a
Tarzan movie. It's cool. Old Red Fox. I tell
you what, back then, I mean, you know, you can't
get away with that shit now because they were
dropping the N -word in there. Oh, really? He
was kind of the Archie Bunker of the black folk.
You know what I mean? He said what he meant.
He said whatever the hell he wanted. You know,
they always dog this country as being a racist
country. There's no way a show like this would
have been immensely popular like that if we were.
Am I ringing a bell there? You know what's crazy?
The Red Fox in that show. People love that show.
They love that show. How old do you think he
was in that show? He was probably like 40. 110.
He was 50. Yeah. He's 50 years old, and he's
portrayed to be in his late 60s. I mean, look
at what we look like. Well, that's my point.
People look at our video and they're like, what's
that show about? Well, I mean, the dudes like
us. Oh, it's like three or four. Those guys are
like the three dudes. The dudes up in the balcony
at the Muppets show. I think they're 70 to 75
maybe. I don't know. Yeah, he was 49 when it
premiered. Was it like 54? But he was supposed
to be older. Correct. Okay. It wasn't like, okay.
Yeah, but they didn't have to do anything to
him. They didn't pepper his hair or anything.
That was just him. All right. Who's the third
one? The third unfortunate past. I think that
was it, right? No, it was Three Dog Night. It
was Chuck Maroon. Yeah, that's a little less
known gentleman, but. Come on. Joy to the world.
All the boys and girls. Joy to the people in
the big blue sea. Fucking joy to you and me.
Boom, boom, boom, boom. Yeah. Anyways, shout
out to those guys. They had some other good songs
too, though, didn't they? Or am I thinking of
Three Dog Night? No, that is Three Dog Night.
Three Dog Night. They have Mama Told Me. Mama
told me not to come. That's a good song. I know.
When I worked at JCPenney. This was back in 2005
region, probably. They would have huge - Hold
on, pause. Did you wear a suit with a white shirt
and a tie? The cliche JCPenney's outfit? I had
to wear a suit every day. That is fantastic.
All right, go on. I wore my suits in the hotel.
It was business casual. It recently went business
casual at JCPenney right as I started. Anyway.
So I was on the buying team, and they would invite
all of the top store managers in for a big, big
blowout banquet to give awards. This is an award
banquet or what it was. And every year it was
held downtown at one of the really big, nice
hotels. And they'd have musical acts, and Three
Dog Night was one of them. No way. Yeah. And
the other one was the, was it the Four Tops,
the Four Seasons? Dude. There's like one remaining
person left. Just one season? So is it a cover
band? It was one season. Well, I don't know.
What's the criteria, right? Right. It has to
be one guy. One guy. So did you ever go up on
stage and talk about how, you know, you're lamenting
about stolen land? I did. You realize this hotel
is on the Tongva land. Yeah. These are the Camachis
right now. Yeah, you should. Camachiland. Okay.
No. All right, so Three Dog Night. That wasn't
a thing back then. No, it wasn't. What about
the big weekend for Melania? Oh, yeah. Dude.
She had a movie that just came out. Her documentary.
Yeah. And apparently it's the highest grossing
or no. Yeah, highest grossing non -musical documentary
in a decade. Dude. That's awesome. I don't know
if that's fairly specific. I don't know. Sounds
pretty specific to me. Yeah, you have to pare
it down until it becomes the best. I don't know.
What other documentary have they ever released?
I'm sure there's a lot of documentaries out there
that we just don't know about. Oh, tons. Did
they release in the movies? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
They release them all the time. Yeah. Yeah, the
Oscars, there's a documentary for Oscars. All
right, now go to Rotten Tomatoes. You guys are
going to be just... Oh, they're going to slam
it, right? It's so ridiculous, guys. Go to Rotten
Tomatoes and give me the antithesis of Siskel
and Ebert. You're just going to shake your heads.
Five to 99. Yes. Isn't that ridiculous? I think
Rotten Tomatoes is a joke. Five percent of the
critics say it's a good movie. Ninety -nine percent
of the people that watched it loved it. And how
many reviews are there? 500 plus and 37. 500
plus. Okay, I don't know if that's a lot or not.
Well, that could be 10 ,000. Yeah, is that 100
million? What does that say? It says 5 % didn't
like it or 5 % liked it. 5 % liked it. And 99
% didn't like it? Did like it. No, no, that's
the audience on the right, critics on the left.
Ah, okay, okay. I was like, what? It's so over
the top bias. It's ridiculous. Oh, it always
is. Most of the reviewers said, I didn't even
watch it. I just gave it a review and said, I
don't want to watch it. They just said, uh. That's
ridiculous. Oh, the critics. She has such an
interesting story. I don't understand why you'd
even go to the critics, why you would even read
a review. When they do stuff like this, it makes
them irrelevant. Correct. They've been irrelevant
for a very long time. A long, long time. Since
sneak previews went off the air. I actually,
when I go to look at movies, I actually go to
Rotten Tomatoes to see if I want to watch it
based on the critics not liking it. and the audience
liking it. Well, it's just like the Black Panther
one got 100 % ratings before the movie came out.
Well, that's hard to do. Yes, that was kind of
the point. Interesting. Yes, well, how would
they know how good this is? The movie's not out
yet. Yeah, if the critic rating is really, really
high, and the audience score is not great, then
there's no way I'll watch it. It's a virtue signal
movie. Don't they have some sort of, what do
they call it? Would you view it, a preview? Certain
people could watch it before. Yeah, screening.
Don't they have that? Sometimes, yeah. I don't
think they did for this, though. Well, good for
her. I heard they weren't screening it before
they released it. The Melania movie, right? I
heard they were not. screening it for reviewers
before they released it. Well, as soon as it
goes to streaming services, I'll watch it. I'm
not going to go to a movie theater and watch
it. Exactly. I don't see myself ever doing something
like that, but I mean, whatever. Sounds good.
All right, well, cool. That works. Good for her.
$7 million doesn't sound like a lot, but if you
think of the cost, I know it said that she did
$30 million in marketing, but the cost of making
it? You're not paying actors. Did she get a check?
Did they pay Trump? Well, she produced it. She's
one of the producers. Well, that means she paid
money. Right, right, right. So my point is you're
not paying actors to do this. But, you know,
the thing that I like about it, which I haven't
seen it yet, but the thing I'm anticipating about
it is what most people that don't have hate in
their heart for the first ladies, she's been
so quiet. You know, she hasn't really. I mean,
there have been some women out there like Michelle
Obama where she just spews whatever she wants
and she's heard. And whether she's right or wrong,
Melania, she just like takes the hits and just
keeps on going. I don't think she cares. Yeah,
you guys can say whatever you want. I'm banging
the richest guy on the planet as far as I'm concerned.
We're billionaires. We're billionaires. I don't
give a fuck. Yeah. She has beautiful kids. And
she's focusing on kind of her pet projects as
all the first ladies do, right? They have like
their signature things that they go do. I think
it's admirable of her. Me too. And I think it's
criminal that these folks like Vogue magazine.
Did you hear about the Vogue article with Gavin
Newsom? I think she was playing with herself
when he interviewed her. This was beyond disgusting
what this woman was writing about Gavin Newsom,
saying that his hair was gray. It was woven with
gray and silver. Oh, that's hot. You thought
that she was just going to spray everywhere.
Embarrassingly handsome. He's lithe. Oh, just
down to the molecules. He's embarrassingly handsome.
His hair seasoned with silver. Oh, this is the
way she opens. Yeah. Let's get this out of the
way. He's embarrassingly handsome. His hair is
seasoned with silver. At ease with his own eminence
as he delivers his final state of the state address.
Oh, my God. His own eminence. Eminence. It must
drive Trump nuts. Oh, he couldn't care less.
No, no, that's what she says. Scroll down. It
must drive Trump nuts. Newsome. Live, ardent,
energetic, a glimmer of optimism in his eye.
Kennedy -esque. Add that to his stunning wife
and four adorable kids and the executive strut
of a self -made millionaire. He was self -made.
I believe his dad gave him a winery, right? Yeah.
They're from the same family as Pelosi. There's
a big oil inheritance that goes along with that.
All right, so who's this person? Anne -Marie
Horton. She is a political correspondent at Bloomberg
TV. She's made herself irrelevant, I think, on
this. She's a joke. A joke. The whole thing is
a joke. And this is the type of rhetoric we're
going to get moving forward. I know. We're going
to get two types. We're going to get this. Look,
Gavin's sitting in the captain's seat for the
next Democrat representation. Oh, absolutely.
For now. It's the Getty Oil family. You're right.
Yeah. It's the Getty family. And they're the
ones that own that big museum or whatever that
almost got burned in the fires. Oh, yeah. Yeah,
you remember that one? But the water automatically
magically turned on in that area? The water magically
got saved, even though the rest of the Palisades
burned to the ground. Wow. Wow. Imagine that.
Imagine that. Interesting. Yeah, well, this is
the campaign they're running. They're running
on advertising like this and paid actors all
over the United States causing a ruckus. And
it's all in Minnesota. It kind of trips me out
because they had almost 100 ,000 captures in
Texas. And we don't have any. There's no rioting
here. Yeah, no chaos. Unless they bring it. But
the difference is. Even in Austin, they haven't.
That's surprising. The difference is the police
works with. That's right. There's total cooperation.
The Homeland Security. Yeah, there's cooperation.
When you don't have cooperation, that's where
these people can get so close and throw shit
and punch and spit on the things. Oh, good point.
They're not barricaded off. The police are supposed
to be barricading these people off. And protecting
the ICE agents and let them do their job. Correct.
And that's not happening. There are literally
checkpoints in, what is it? Minneapolis? Minneapolis,
yeah. There's checkpoints in Minneapolis where
these freedom fighters are under bridges as cars
are coming through, checking people as they go
through. Stopping them and asking them questions.
Yeah, they're monitoring to find out if they're
ICE. And if they find out they're ICE, then they
tag it on the radio. They have some sort of encrypted
communication somehow. Signal chat? Signal chat.
But it got infiltrated. Well, yeah. Everybody
got exposed, yeah. But, yeah, they did, but,
you know, I haven't heard anything about it yet.
Well, that's because everybody left and said,
close the signal chat. We're going to, you know,
whatever else. Yeah, but he did some screenshots.
Yeah. Whoever infiltrated and he called out some
of them. So, all right, we got some, yeah, we
need to get to this, don't we? You want to do
it now? Yeah, let's discuss. All right, so NVU
Brands introduced the always the hand crafter
Swift, S -W -I -F -T, all caps, Swift Single
Malt Texas Whiskey. I'm not sure where they got
that name. Do you recall? No. Have we reached
out to them yet to see if they want to attend
our podcast? I'll reach out to them. Because
I think they're just down by Austin, south of
Austin, right? That'd be fun. In that region?
Come out there. Oh, you mean the Steelers. The
Swift folks, because it's like a husband and
wife team, right? They're in Driftwood, Texas.
Where's that at? I think we asked that last time.
Yeah, they should. Driftwood, Texas? Yeah, Driftwood,
Texas. It does. You'd think it would be on the
coast or something, but it's on a river. Is it
the San Antonio? Oh, by San Antonio, kind of.
That's Sulphur Springs. No, it's not far at all
from us. Dripping Springs. Oh, is that what that
is? Dripping Springs? Yeah. How close is that
to Dallas -Fort Worth? It's like southwest, right?
It's probably a three, four hour area. Oh, okay.
I was thinking that. Okay. It's a little southwest
of Austin. Well, you got an extremely populated
map with things going on there. Don't worry about
that. Are those your... Hookups? Yeah. Yeah.
No. It just depends. I have everything turned
on. This is Tinder contact. Yeah. Grinder. You
said it. So this is the second time we've had
this. We had it when NVU Brands was on with us.
They brought that. They were gracious enough
to leave the bottle. Two of them, actually. And
this is extremely good. It is. I'm not a single
malt. We haven't had enough of them to be very
versed in it, but I know what I like, and I like
this. Yeah, very tasty. It's soft. It's supple.
It's got a very, I don't want to say fruity.
It's got a very light pear kind of fruit. What's
the proof on it? Green apple. It's like 86. Yeah,
I don't think it's real high, so it's very drinkable.
88. 88. 88. Very good. So, yeah, it's very easy
to drink. Slightly woody. It's kind of dry. It's
got some traditional single malt characteristics.
It doesn't have some of the Balcones single malt
astringencies. It's not as hearty. As most single
malts, I would consider it a light single malt.
Very, very enjoyable. So it says it's aged in
bourbon barrels and French Sauternes Cass. Sorry,
what was that? Sauternes. Sauternes is the white
wine. Remember Sean struggled with that? Yeah,
he did. He struggled. Yeah. Twice distilled from
100 % Scottish malted barley. Each batch is aged
and in Kentucky bourbon barrels and finished
in Sauternes. White wine casks. Yes. And they
selected those casks from Bordeaux, France. No.
God, I cannot even see anymore. Bordeaux. Bordeaux,
France. Yes, I was going to say Bordeaux. I did.
I thought there was an R in there, and I was
like, the E looked like an R. It's so sad when
you get old. Yes. All right. Rich, elegant, whiskey,
balancing, spice, vanilla, and lemon curd. Interesting.
Lemon curd. That's what it says. I think I can
pick up some lemon on that. With hints of honeysuckle
and buttery caramel. Cheers. All right. Very
nice. I would like to do another pour, but I
don't want to be like Sean and do consistent
double pours of everything. What's going on?
Is this available anywhere outside of the distillery?
God, so much. It's 82 proof. 85, 86 proof. 88.
88. Literally just said that. You had like a
gallon left. Did you want some more? Yeah, it
looks like Total Wine, Goody Goody. Oh, peer
pressure. So the question, would we replace it?
That's good. Would we replace this? I say yes.
I say yes. How much is this? About 40 bucks -ish?
Roughly. I mean, when we're talking about kind
of - No, it's more in the 60 range. When we're
talking about getting more involved in American
single malt whiskeys, I would say, and we want
to have them in our collection, this is a must.
Yeah. It is. I would recommend it. It's super
light. It's super easy to drink. It's super tasty.
The caramel, the light lemon, the flavors pop.
It's not hearty. It's light. That's what really
makes it different. And I think the difference,
at least on this, I don't know if it was with
all single malts. Low proof bourbon doesn't seem
to have a lot of flavor to it. This has a lot
of flavor to it for the proof, I think. It does.
Agreed. And I've also thought that single malts
in general, and usually scotches, right, because
we haven't tried too many American single malts,
but they're like sharp, pungent. You know what?
This is not at all. Yeah, I mean, there's like
a... All right, scroll down. Is that the owner
right there? I believe so, yeah. Yes, that's
the wife. She's cute. Very nice. She's the owner.
It's her and her husband. She's a redhead. She
looks Scottish. Scottish. She looks Scottish.
Are you sure? Get a little audio on that. 2025,
we've had a pretty good one. It's been a crazy
year, which I always like a little bit of chaos.
She's in her kid's room. Coming from my child's
bedroom, I'm attempting to clean up and get rid
of toys. That's the end of December, right before
New Year's Eve. Yeah. Very nice. So, yeah, I
think we need to shoot her a line and say, hey,
we worked with NVU. Here's our podcast. Yeah,
I'll do that. She may even be aware of it. Oh,
she's kind of like, I'm going to steer clear
of those guys. We'd love to have you on next
time you're up here in the North Texas region.
I'll make a little video short of us talking
about it and send it to her. Excellent. So I'll
tell you one of the great. Not the greatest,
obviously, but one of the great qualities of
a good whiskey, period. Period. Period. I mean,
it's 100 % this. Oh, boy. Oh, the cork. Didn't
you say that has a name? No, listen. Seriously.
That is so awesome. Just to have that little
noise, because it's almost kind of like the heavens
are speaking to you. And, you know, when you're
done with it, it's kind of like, I'll be back,
buddy. Here. You put it right back. It's kind
of like, and it screams, don't leave me. And
you're like, it's okay. I'll be back. It's the
sound of the gods. Yeah. Whatever. I mean, you
get those other ones where they've got the fake
corks. That one's, it's fun. Or the ones with
the screw tops. I don't have those. Oh, I got
a lot of those. Huh. Well, I mean, come on. Early
times is a screw top. Yes. Yeah. So, I mean,
they're not all bad. They don't make that sound.
They go. Speaking of early times, did they have
a good turnout over at Nate's? It was. It was
a good turnout. And I had never heard of a Stock
the Bar event. Is this a thing? Did you guys
know about this? Steven told me about it. He's
like, are the liquor stores open today? Right.
I was like, it's Sunday. So that's how it went
down. All the boys completely forgot to tell
that their parents were invited to this. And
we're like, Shelly and I are sitting down. Oh,
yeah, yeah, we need a rating on that. But let
me finish this story real quick. So we were sitting
down, getting ready to plan our day on Sunday,
and Dawson calls. Oh, yeah, from 2 to 5 is Nate's
Stock the Bar event. We're like, what? What are
you talking about? Right. So I had to scramble
over to your house. Thank you. And get some,
yeah, an unopened bottle of wine and an unopened,
I got your what? Not buckwheat. Buck, Buck Jones,
Bucky. Humble? Humble? Huckleberry. Oh, the orange.
Yeah, I mean, Huckleberry is a very fair whiskey
bourbon. It's very soft. It's like 101. They
probably won't appreciate it, but it's super
easy to drink. I thought it was the stock bar
at their wedding. No, it's at their house. I
thought they did a venue where you can bring
your own booze, and so they were asking, it's
for their house. Yes. I'm like, that's weird.
That is kind of strange. Kind of odd. Just bring
me a bunch of booze. Oh, I think... Oh, by the
way, guys, for the Super Bowl, I'm going to have
a stock -to -bar. I made the joke. As soon as
I found out it was for their house, I was like,
well, I'm throwing a stock -to -bar party. I
mean, why don't we all throw a stock -to -bar
party? Hell, yeah. We could use some. We have
to have criteria, though, if they want to add
it to the convention. 115 plus per checklist.
By the way... There needs to be a list. These
are the ones you can bring. All right, I'm giving
this a 7 .3. I'm at 7 .5, I think. Again... We
haven't had a lot of these. Not a lot to compare
it to. American single malt's in a different
category by itself. And being an American, this
is an American light single malt, I would say,
right? Yeah. I mean, what is the difference between
American single malt and American light single
malt? A word. In terms of, well, are we back
on electric company or something, or whatever
it is? I'm actually going to revise it and say
7 .6, simply because of how much I'm enjoying
it. Oh, so I'm 7 .7 then. I'm 7 '8". I'm going
7 '9". No, I really am 7 '8". I'm 7 '8". I was
always... I haven't even given you mine, Chuck.
Don't you look at me with that tone of voice.
Which one do I write down? It's his tone of face.
Put 7 '5", 7 '6", what'd you say? 7 '8". 7 '8".
I think it's great. It's really good. It's delicious.
If this were... I mean, there are other single
malts out there. This is a different category.
Yeah, Balcones has some single malts, right?
They're all single malts. Yeah. That's true,
they are. Well, I mean, Balcones, they have rums,
and do they have? They don't have a bourbon,
do they? I don't think they do. I like Balcones.
I hope they don't go bankrupt. They have an interesting
genre of spirits out there. I hope they don't
go bankrupt. I know they had to let some of their
staff go, and they're having to sell the back
stock of their stuff. The industry is struggling.
It is. I called around to some other vendors,
whiskey vendors, and there's people I called
and they were like, I was like, I noticed it
says you're closed. And they were like, yeah,
we're closed. And I was like, oh, we were going
to take a visit there. And they were like, well,
I mean, you can still come by. We've got stuff
to sell. We're able to sell for another two months,
but we're not really open. But they're shut down.
Correct. Like not making any anymore. Correct.
Oh, that's so depressing. It is. And I was like,
well, we kind of like, this is kind of what we
want. You know, it's a podcast, and this is kind
of the area where we enjoy it. And, you know,
they were just like, this is too bad. The one
that I saw the email. So they responded to you.
Yeah, they did. Yeah. All right. Well, shout
out to Swift. Thank you, NVU Brands, for bringing
this out to us. Yeah, for sure. All right. How
much time we got? Do you want us to check? I
think we can roll. No? Well, I guess we can talk
about the Guthrie ransom while we're waiting.
Oh, that's so sad. That's strange. It is odd.
When I heard about it yesterday, I was like,
this has to be someone looking for money from
a rich news anchor. So this is the NBC news anchor,
Suzanne Guthrie. How rich is she? I bet she's
making millions a year. Very rich. Multi -millions
a year. I bet she's doing very well. Savannah.
Savannah. I said Suzanne. Savannah Guthrie is
an NBC anchor. and her mother disappeared. Somebody
did a welfare check on her because she didn't
show up for some event at the church or something.
That's Sunday. So they went to dinner. Savannah
and her mom went to dinner Saturday night. She
dropped her off at the house after dinner was
over, and approximately 3 in the morning, her
phone was left at the house. Her phone no longer
was able to read her. Pacemaker? Was that a pacemaker?
So at 3 o 'clock, it was no longer able to read
the pacemaker, so she was off the property. They're
claiming that they found some sort of blood.
There's been several stories that kind of quantified
the amount, which was like a couple drops. But
a couple drops, what is that? She could have
cut herself. Yeah, there's a million things that
could have happened. This is in the Catalina
foothills. Yeah, but that is outside of L .A.?
Oh, Arizona. Yeah, Tucson, Arizona. Tucson, Arizona.
Wow, okay. And she was supposed to show up Saturday
night. Last seen. Okay. And then she's supposed
to show up at a church thing. Yeah. It's Sunday
morning. And then she didn't show up. And she
was there all the time. TMZ put out a report.
I mean, they basically said, hey, we received
a ransom letter from somebody. And the ransom
letter basically shared information that nobody
could know. About the type of clothes that she
was wearing. All right. And some information.
Okay, well, honestly, that gives you a little
bit of hope that, you know, maybe she's still
alive. And I don't know about paying the ransom
and trying to get her back because that never
really goes well. But she needs her medicine.
But maybe there's a chance she's still alive
and maybe there's a chance it can be a peaceful
reuniting. Let's pray. I mean, that's awful.
Yeah. And, you know, there's some sick folks
out there. I know. What do you think? Are they
people coming up from the South? You think they're
immigrants? Who knows? Who knows, man? You never
know. It's crazy how this world works. And, you
know, shouts out to her. Organized crime is going
up and up and up. I mean, look at all the houses
that are getting broken into when guys are at
their games. Isn't that crazy? There have been
like six of them now. Yeah. When they're playing
somewhere, they know they're out of town. They
know exactly where they are. They know the whole
family's there with them, and they break into
their homes. Yep. Crazy. All right. All right.
Well, shout out to Swift Single Malt. Thank you
guys for, you know, blessing us with the three
MVU brands, bringing up their aged bourbon barrels
and French sauternes cast. Swift Single Malt
is local, available at all your... Are they available?
But Chuck says they're at Total Wine. They're
at Total Wine. Very nice. Chuck, thank you for
staying on top of shit. Mr. Producer, Dudes Like
Us Podcast. I am Sean. I am Paul. And I'm Jeff.
