We do watch everything closed captioned, so I'll
tell her, listen, you don't need to watch the
TV. Just read it. Just get a book. Read the show.
Read the show. Read the show. Yes. I'll tell
you what, I'll be unhappy reading Homeland instead
of watching Homeland because Marina Baccarin's
on it, and I want to see her. Her nude. Why?
Is she nude on there? Not necessarily nude, although
that's a bonus. I'm saying she is a beautiful,
beautiful woman. That's all I'm saying. I think
you've covered this like four pods in a row.
No, I've never said a word about it. I just learned
who she was today. I've watched a part of the
first episode. I liked it, but I'm committed
to a couple other things, and I'm very not wanting
to move on to those until they're done. That's
good, because this one will grab you. It'll suck
me in. Another one, I think I told you about
it. There's a good one out there on Hulu. On
the Hulu. Yes, you did tell me. Called Paradise.
Yes, you told me. After Homeland's done, which,
by the way, has eight seasons, we'll switch gears.
I highly recommend the Paradise. The first season,
the sex season. Sex season? The sex season. You
know what? The plot thickens there, buddy. I'm
going to stop watching Homeland and go ahead
and switch over to Paradise then. Yeah. If the
first season is sex season? The second one comes
out the 23rd. And it's good. It's good high drama,
political, murder mystery, thriller. I've been
waiting for Lioness. Year two, season two of
Lioness. When is that coming? Damn it. It's out.
No. Shut up. It is not. 100 % of this. Okay,
maybe third season then. Yeah, the third season
you're probably waiting on. Yeah, that's what
I'm waiting on. I'm sorry. Yeah. All right, so
second half of the Dudes Like Us podcast, Tuesday,
17th, 2026. Yes. God bless. You're doing great
so far, Sean. I got it all correct. Yeah. You
picked all three things, the day, the date, and
the year. God bless. All right, so it is the
second half, and we've got another whiskey out
here. People that are watching the podcast can
see it. When are we going to start going live,
by the way? Live? I think we need to do a live
stream. TikTok or Instagram? Pick one. I don't
care what it is. I have a gaming laptop that
I don't use. I could pop that little guy up here
and kind of shoot him across. Sorry, what are
we talking about? I was thinking about maybe
we should go live one of these times. Oh, that'd
be fun. Yeah. Maybe Instagram. I don't know.
Dudes, I guess I'm Sean. I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff.
We need to start our timer too. Start the timer.
And we have our producer, Mr. Chuck. Yes, we
do. So I want to kind of touch into, I know I
see up on the board some. notes. Yes. You're
talking about the ski jumpers with the penis
injections. No. Say what? I don't know anything
about this. What is going on? You did not hear
about this? No. Is that, what are they trying
to get more? More lift? No. They want more friction
so they can stay in the air longer. So they got
a penis reduction? No. Injection? They're injecting
a chemical into their penises to make it bigger
so they can grab more air and stay up. Oh, like
helium? No, wait a minute. Are they like jamming
their dick down? Because if it's big up by their
belly, how is that going to... Wow. Or is it
like sticking straight out? Producer, please
weigh in. Okay, so they're getting their suits
fitted. And if they have a larger penis, they
get a larger suit, which creates more drag. Oh,
I thought it was the big penis that created the
drag. Well, I mean, to some extent, right? But
they want more... area in the crotch region.
So really, it's the uniform that is going to
create acid. So basically, these guys are injecting
themselves with all kinds of shit to make...
Hyaluronic acid, which, yeah, it's a beauty thing,
right? But apparently, it plumps your dick as
well. I'm sorry, but man, is gold enough to ruin
your dick? Hold on. You guys don't already inject
your penises with that? Not with that. I have
no response to that. I'm the only one that does
that? Just some silicates and stuff. For every
two centimeters in suit size circumference. Honestly,
I'd be like... 5 % more lift. I'd be like, there's
a small, medium, and large. That's impressive.
5 % lift? Fit in it or not. That is crazy. Jam
your junk. Why don't they just add a prosthetic
piece in there or something? Put a sock. Do they
have to review it? like i want to see it uh mr
murphy do you mind uh raise your kilt up a little
bit they get nude and take pictures with a 3d
scanner to fit the suit with oh no are you kidding
me and they're new that's according to this wouldn't
that be cold if you're make them go nude don't
you do Look how far they go. That is amazing.
It is amazing. For those guys that jump on the
ski slope, they go down and they just free fall.
Well, it's kind of like the squirrel suits, right?
The flying squirrel suits? Yes. That's kind of
what it is because I think, actually, I did see
the story. I didn't know it was because of their
dick size. I thought it was just people were
adding fabric to their crotch to get more lift.
I didn't realize that they were pumping their
dick with juice. That's actually kind of funny.
Can you imagine if they went down with a squirrel
suit and how much further would it go? All the
way down? Yeah, you keep going. Yeah. They would
leave the resort area. So, but I did see that,
but I think they should just have a uniform size.
I mean, this is ridiculous. I mean, are you kidding
me? But 5 % is 5%. So, I mean, it's not worth
injecting stuff in your wing wing. Well, the
other thing you have to consider in all of these
sports, what's amazing is. The time difference.
Like, they do that, what, the G whatever it is.
The G force? Downhill. Oh, yeah. Synergy? Yeah.
And they're measuring, like. Hundreds of a second.
Hundreds. Thousands of a second difference between,
like, the number. 10 guy and the number one guy.
Well, did you see the - No, it's crazy. So they're
going to do anything to get what little tiny
benefit they can. Did you see the Super G women's,
I think, or maybe it was men. I can't remember.
What is Super G? Yeah, what does that mean? That's
a great question. Why do they call it Super G?
That's stupid sounding. I think it's, I don't
know. I think, I don't know. I asked the same
question, but they don't get a training run.
Giant, right? Yeah, it's like a giant - Super
giant slalom. It's not - Yes, it's not the hardcore
slalom, but there's much more turns. Much like
a downhill, a Super G course consists of a widely
set gates that racers must pass through. Correct.
The course is set so that the skier must turn
more than... In the downhill. So it's fast, but
there's a lot of turns. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But
I think there were three people who got the exact
same time. Oh, no way. And that's why people
are getting hurt. What are the odds of that?
So there were three number ones. Well, they should
have plumped their necks. So they got three gold
medals? Well, no. They would have. But then there
would be no silver and no bronze. Oh, I see.
It's not like they do three gold, one silver,
and two people tied for bronze. Right. So there's
like a whole crowd. They do run off. Is that
what it is? No. So they eventually just got below.
They fell out of the medals, right? Yeah. Okay.
I see. Oh, somebody beat them all. But this particular,
the super G style, I mean, that is super fast.
And they're having to do the turns rather sharply.
And that's why these people are getting hurt
and get snagged on these things is because they
are. flying. They're hauling ass passes. I don't
know how fast they're going, but some people
are breaking their hands. Like 80 miles an hour.
Something crazy like that. Their legs just barely
clipped on there. And it's enough to knock you
off balance and then all of a sudden it's the
victory of the agony of defeat. It's not like
it's something new. They've been doing this.
No, that always happens. They've been doing it
for decades. The lady who won the Super G Just
the other day, she was with Italy. Look who that
is. See if you can't find this footage. Ten months
ago, she had a catastrophic fall. Oh, boy. And
she shattered her leg ten months ago. How is
that even possible? And they showed a story about
her. They can rebuild her. Yeah, that Brignone
or whatever. They were stronger than before.
See if you can find her when she fell. It's a
brutal fall. And they had little stories they
do with people. to get back into shape. And she's
got a scar on her knee, probably 10 inches long.
It kind of wraps around her leg. And she ended
up, she started skiing, I think, I don't even
want to say two weeks before the Olympics or
something like that, again. And she ended up
winning the Super G and she ended up winning
the slalom. That is unbelievable. Is that because
she has synthetic bones in her body now? Oh,
I don't know. She's got an aluminum thigh? Yeah,
she is. Is she from Italy? Yes. Is she the one
that got into the Nutella scandal? Oh, there
she goes. And then she wipes out. Ouch. And it's
done. She's done right there. Boom. And it completely
just destroyed her leg, her left one. Now, is
that the one, the initial one, or has that happened?
No, that happened 10 months ago. Oh, wow. Okay.
So she had full surgery, everything. Oh, good
for her. And she wasn't skiing. And they showed
the footage that the first time she was on skis,
it was not very long ago, and she ended up winning.
Well, do me a favor. Look up her name and put
in the word Nutella. Federica Brignone. I want
to see if it's the same. Brignone. It may not
be. No, it's just not her then. All right, there's
another Italian. But another story I was watching,
because my wife and I watch. the Olympics every
night when it's on. I've been wanting to, but
Kelly doesn't care. The leader, he was from Norway,
I think, in the slalom. His grandfather was his
motivation, his trainer, why he got in a scheme,
the whole nine yards. Well, his grandfather died
on opening night of the Olympics. Oh, my gosh.
So he's been struggling with that. There's two
runs on the slalom, so he was in first place
by quite a bit on the first run. And on the second
run, he gets in maybe 20 seconds into it, and
he clips a pole, and he goes outside the slalom,
so he's done. Disqualified. Disqualified. And
he was so upset, he took his skis off, he threw
his poles over the fence, and then he went straight
sideways, ripped open the fence, and went over
to the woods. Just walked away. Just went straight
walkabout. Did they find him? Well, yeah. I mean,
he finally went over by the tree line, and he
just laid down on his back and looked. He was
so upset. Dude, can you imagine how much time
these guys put into this? Their entire life.
I mean, it's ridiculous how much. Sacrifice.
They probably didn't drink alcohol for an extended
period. I mean, that's enough to make anybody
go nuts. Yeah, that's right. Who would do that?
I think it's also the fact that his grandfather
was there to... I don't know if he was training
them, but his inspiration that he died a week
earlier. Right. He wanted to do it for him probably.
And then he fucked up. And then he failed at
it. So I think that's why he was so upset. I
would throw my skis and my poles and I would
tear a hole in the fence and I would walk into
the forest too. Yeah, but they interviewed him
later and he seemed, you know, he was like, yeah,
I mean, there were a lot of emotions going on.
Yeah. I have anger management issues. Man, I
think, you know, these guys, for all of them,
all these athletes out there, anything that you
really put your heart in, and especially when
there's a summit of, you know, you're about to
stretch and you either sink or swim, and he fucking
sunk. And this is it. You work your way. This
is probably his last opportunity to do this.
He's probably reached that point where I'm too
fucking old and I'm not going to train for the
next four years to make the next four -year Olympics.
And the training, I mean, we can't even comprehend.
The training. I mean, we bitch about it. Here
I am bitching about my knee. My knee's swollen.
I want to play basketball. And I don't do shit,
right? I don't do PT. I don't stretch. When I
do stretch, I'm like, I don't want to do this.
It hurts. I mean, come on. These guys are freaking
unbelievable. All of them. Well, that's what
separates the men from the boys when it comes
to this or the novice from the professional.
And these guys are great. They're talented. It
comes with a dream, though. I mean, these guys
are so driven with a goal and a dream. Do you
think it's because their parents instilled that
in them? Some of them? I think some of it. I
think some of it's ingrained in them. Yeah, some
of it's cultural, right? So I was watching the
other day. It was the women's cross -country
team event, right? Oh, amazing. You have like
four women that each take a leg, right? Oh, yeah,
yeah. And the Norway team was... uh the world
class right they were predicted to win and it
wasn't going to be close right and the first
leg the girl she slipped and fell which never
happened yeah well yeah uh well the you know
the ski the skiing was bad because the weather
was a little bit warm as a little bit slick slushy
so she fell she got back up she started going
back up and started catching up to everybody
and then she fell again Like head over heels.
Head over heels. How do you do that with skis
on? Broke her ski off. The binding was broke.
And so she had to pedal with one leg and one
ski to get to the technician, which was down
the road a bit. And so everybody's miles ahead
of her. Everybody's miles ahead of her. Finland
is up there. And they're like, oh, America's
got a chance now. And France is up there. And
Italy's up there. They came back to get silver.
That's amazing. Amazing. That's amazing. The
team came back to get silver. That's how much
better they were than the rest of the team. As
soon as they finished, they killed the other
girl. Well, there's footage out there. No kidding.
There's footage out there. Even at track, you'll
see. I remember seeing one specifically. It made
its rounds on the interweb. A girl who got tripped
up, and she fell on the 400 or maybe the 800.
She was way behind. She picked herself up, and
she ended up winning. Oh, yeah. I think I've
said, well, then that was a track and field,
right? Yeah, a track and field. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it happens. I mean, people, you know, the
burst of adrenaline and then shit like that.
And being pissed off. Being pissed off probably.
And the roids didn't hurt either. Yeah. Oh, yeah,
that too. So this is the story I was talking
about with the Olympics. So this biathlete, biathlete
from Italy, her name is Rebecca Passler. I think
she won as well. She tested positive for a banned
substance, letrozone. Letrozole. Letrozole. What
is that? I don't know. But apparently... It's
penis larger. No. She apparently got it because
she used the spoon that her grandmother or mother
used when they were eating Nutella. And she didn't
know that her mother was fighting breast cancer
and that she was taking... Taking drugs that
have that in it. Right. Right. Anyway, so they
tested her and I guess she appealed and they
said, yes, you're right. That's plausible. I
don't know. Plausible, yeah. So they gave it
back to her? No, I mean, they let her compete.
Right. Yeah. It wasn't a situation where she
lost her gold because they... No, I mean, how
crazy is that? She used the same spoon as her
mom and didn't know that she was taking cancer
chemicals or cancer drugs. Lance Armstrong should
have used that when he was doing the... He ate
a lot of Nutella. A lot of Nutella, yeah. Yeah,
and all of his friends were eating it with him,
and he was sharing all of their spoons. Who knows
what he got from them? Yeah. That was different.
That was a whole scheme. He worked himself into
a corner there. And you know what's sad? He literally
did, like these other athletes that we've been
talking about, he put in the work. I mean, he
trained meticulously. And all those drivers or
riders were doing the same thing. Yes. Or something
similar. He just got caught. He got caught. And
it doesn't minimize the accomplishment that he
made other than the fact that it let him be a
little bit better than the other guys. It's still
cheating. You've got these front linemen for
football, and they're constantly holding, and
they never get called. And they're fantastic.
They're great. They're the best until they get
caught. And then you're like, oh, my God, you
keep getting caught. Well, that's because they
do it all the time. I mean, my point is just
imagine putting in all that work, right, for
years and years and years and years and years.
And then you get caught cheating. And then everybody
says, oh, well, I mean, the only reason why he
won seven years in a row is because he was cheating.
I mean, it invalidates all that. And I blame
him, right? I blame him. I'm not letting him
off the hook. But imagine putting in all that
work and all that success and it all just gets
like poof. Well, Ben Johnson, remember, He won
the 100 -yard dash in the Olympics for Canada.
Yeah. And he got it stripped because he took
steroids. Right. So that completely invalidated
him. Right. And he disappeared completely after
that. So did Lance Armstrong, for that matter.
I mean, at a certain point, you're like, you
know what? Fuck it. I mean, is this really worth
it? I mean, like you guys said, it's just a gold
medal. I'm done. You know, I've been doing this
since I'm 14. Right. And I'm fucking out. He's
probably been doing this since he's like six.
Right. You know? And it's just like, I'm done.
I'm fucking done. All right. So what else did
you want to talk about with the Olympics? Who's
that? Gina Carano? Yeah. Is she training again?
Yep. Yeah. It's a big fight coming up. Good for
her. Man, she is such a firecracker. She's good
looking, too. I'll tell you what. When Tara comes
in my office, because I've got a... I have a
bunch of Star Wars pictures. A .I. new to Gina.
Well, maybe. Slave Leia. But I've got a bunch
of, yes, I've got a bunch of pictures from Star
Wars. And they're constantly the slideshow on
my monitors. And they're different. They keep
switching off and on. And Tara always walks in
when there's some sort of scantily dressed woman
on there. And I'm just like, dude, that's Leia
from Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi.
I mean, that was on the video. But what you shouldn't
do, on each picture, you're setting the delay.
And on that picture, it's set to two hours, isn't
it? So you can't, you've got to make it so that
it's the same. He copied it in there 300 times,
so it comes up frequently. Oh, it's the same
picture over and over again. Gina Carrera is
on there, and I don't know how I found it, but
there is a picture of her in her mid -20s. Oh,
she's attractive. In a swimsuit? Better. I mean,
she was wearing this thong. In a toga? She was
wearing a thong and she was walking. She turned
around backwards and her butt was hanging out.
I was like, God bless. And so, you know, I just
copied it. It's Star Wars related. I just kind
of stuffed it in there. She's part of the Mandalorian.
I never really thought about it. And so it shows
up on my screen and I just kind of think of it.
I don't sit there and like, you know, whatever.
Yeah, no, I don't care. Tara fucking always walks
in, and it's up there, and she's like, is that
just always up? Is that your main screen? I'm
like, oh, my gosh. There's like 500 pictures
in there, and what are the chances you're going
to walk in here? I have a solution for you. Shut
up. Okay. I know what that solution is. You're
kidding me. I have a collection of Star Wars
pictures. Look at that one. Well, her and a thong,
I don't believe, is Star Wars. Oh, at that. Star
Wars adjacent, I guess. I never watched The Mandalorian.
Is she not in a thong? There it is, far left.
That's it. Wow. Yep. Yeah, that is not related
to Star Wars. That's AI. That's Gina Carano posing
in lingerie. That one is where she's wearing
the reindeer outfit. The print is only $7 if
you want it. It's an 8x10 photo print. Frame
it. I'm going to pass on that. Well, how much
is the bigger one? Okay, never mind. What, the
poster size? Yeah, the poster size. All right.
Anyway, that's an exciting fight. When is that
coming up? She is beautiful. I would never watch
that because I'm not into, is it MMA? Is that
what this is? Yes, May 16th. Yeah, I don't have
a desire to watch women fight. I don't have a
desire to watch men fight. to be honest. Honestly,
that too. MMA is just vulgar to me. I agree.
I will watch men fight over women, but I will
not watch women fight in this stupid -ass fucking
slop game that they got going on where these
people are bitch -slapping each other. I think
that's stupid. When I watch women do it, it's
just even more stupid. I'm going to sound sexist
when I say this, but they're fucking women. You
can see it in their eyes. With a man, Oh, my
God. And you can see the videos. This isn't me
just saying with your men. This is when you watch
like 100 men get slapped, and you see the look
on their face. But when you see a woman get hit,
it's way different. Like it hits you emotionally?
That's not cool. Yes, exactly. Your manliness
kind of jumps out. You're like, yo, that's not
cool at all. I'm going to go in there and freaking
do something. But it's a woman on woman. Right.
I want to say they're stupid, but they're not.
It doesn't bother me because they're doing it
to themselves. Right. This is a voluntary choice.
Their choice. Now, if it was just someone getting
slapped, but they're doing it to themselves.
They're signing up. They know what they're doing.
But you know what I don't like? I don't want
to watch people get knocked out and start twitching
on the ground. That happens. I don't like it.
It's not healthy. They've had girls with their
eyes popped out. But there have been. There have
been girls with their eyes popped out. They've
had paralysis in their cheeks where it just shoots
out right away. That's just stupid. They are
not designed for this. Well, MMA is not violent
enough for some folks. Now they have bare -knuckle
fighting. which is extremely violent and bloody.
I heard on the radio that there's a new thing.
You mentioned the slapping. There's a new thing
where two people will line up from each other,
run full blast at each other, and try to blow
them up. I was going to bring that up. They go
at each other head first like a ram would on
another competing ram. What could go wrong? That's
real? I thought that was AI. That is bizarre.
No, don't show it. These guys are... I don't
want to watch it. You know what, man? That's
just gross. It's just masochism. It is. I mean,
it's just these guys... Look, I don't get off
on that. I think it's horrible. But I'm the kind
of guy that when I'm doom scrolling on these
Instagram or whatever, TikTok, I hate watching
people get hurt. Right. Riding skateboards. Bicycles
falling down. I immediately skip it. If I see
it and there's about to be an accident. Yeah,
it's not cool. I don't watch it because I don't
care who's in the right or wrong. I don't want
to see somebody get hurt. We don't like faces
of death. That's no shit, Jeff. Faces of death.
Who heard you? Yeah, you were like, oh, I can't
stop watching it. Hold on, guys. Let me check
my pocket Iron Maiden here. Hold on. Stick my
finger in here. Crunch, crunch. It doesn't bother
me. Listen to you. Wow. It doesn't. It doesn't
bother me. Watching people die. In a movie? Does
not bother me. Oh, in a movie. Now, if I'm watching
videos, like I've seen them pop up, I don't care
for seeing that. Like these snuff films? Hold
on. Why do we poke Jeff about the faces of death?
Did he say he watched it as a kid and he liked
it? I watched it in college. I think that Jeff
has a higher tolerance of watching that stuff.
He can look at it objectively where I wince.
I'm just like. I don't even want to see it. Jeff's
more fascinated. To me, Jeff's kind of like,
I'll watch that. Oh, that's horrible. But he's
looking at you, and he's got a little grin on
his face like, Helter Skelter, Helter Skelter.
Like an uncomfortable look. It's kind of like,
oh my God. I kind of laugh at it. Put the knife
down, Jeff. It's not real. Like I said, sometimes
you scroll on these videos, like some of these
CCT, these people in the factory, you're just
like, you know something bad's going to happen.
And you watch it. It's like somebody gets sucked
into a machine. Yeah, shit like that. I don't
care to see that. Oh, yeah. That's horrible.
You don't care to see that. I do not want to
see that kind of stuff. I actually got really
mad at my son. Because you never know what it's
going to be when they send it. I thought it was
going to be something funny. And it was in Columbia
or something. And it was a high -rise. It was
a university that was a high -rise building.
And there were students. And it had a railing
around the outside of it. And it was open all
the way to the bottom. And so they were. These
students were fighting with each other, like
jostling to get into the room and fighting who
was going to be first. And all of a sudden, the
railing gave way. And like six of them fell.
And one was hanging and another one held another
one. And then the camera, like people screaming.
And then the camera looked over the edge and
you see the splattered bodies, like, you know,
five, six floors down. I got so mad at my son.
I said, don't you ever send me shit like that
again. It affected me. It still affects me, thinking
about it. That was horrific. I think our boys
are desensitized to that because I know Stephen
says that Herman Preston sends shit like that
back and forth. That's not okay. Or they used
to. I don't know if they still do. Dude, I'm
telling you, for the mental psyche and for your
just mental health, it's not okay. Well, just
like if you remember when, is it Daniel Pearl?
Is he the one who they videoed and the video
is floating around of him getting beheaded? Was
that Chris Berg that got beheaded? No, no, no.
It was Daniel Pearl, I think. Daniel Pearl. He
was a journalist, right? This was about 25 years
ago. And it was Islamic State type people. Way
back, probably in the early 2000s, maybe. They
showed it 100%. And I didn't watch it. My friends
watched it. I never watched it. I was like, I
have no desire to see that. Absolutely not. Because
I heard about it. I was like, that's good enough
for me. Oh, it was Nick Berg. They showed it
like in. Daniel Pearl was the first one. Yeah,
he was the journalist that it shocked the world.
Yeah, the guy had a big ass fucking. And he like
sawed at it apparently. It wasn't like a clean
pack all the way through. Sawed through it while
the guy is screaming. It was awful. It's ridiculous.
I mean, he's just a journalist. He had nothing
to do with anything, right? Yeah. He was for
Wall Street Journal. Kidnapped and murdered in
Pakistan in early 2002. Yep. That's horrible.
But there was a video that a teacher wanted the
kids to see where this guy was dressed in an
orange jumpsuit and a traditional one that they
put the prisoners in, I guess. It wasn't this
guy. His last name was Berg. I guess it was Nick
Berg. I thought it was Chris Berg. There's been
a couple of them that's happened to. This was
the first, I think. It was crazy. Why is that
teacher showing kids? No, that's not okay. With
the high school? It wasn't here. This was somewhere
in the United States. Oh, I thought you meant
our boys. No, let me actually pull this up and
figure out what the hell I'm lying about. What
your misinformation is? It was back in 2004.
Yeah, it's a mess. Yeah, you know. There it is
right there. Yeah, I'm not, again, I have no
desire to watch that. Detained by Iraqi police,
subsequently held for 13 days by U .S. authorities
without charge before being released. I don't
see anything about him being, oh, there it is,
the killing of Nick Berg at the bottom. Beheading.
Oh, yeah, I missed that at the top. Sorry, stupid.
Yeah, well, but they did it, but what stood out
for me was that there were teachers around the
United States that showed it. I don't know how
many, but one was too many. Part of me is, whatever,
that's also, but it's horrific. Can't stand that
crap. Yeah, this stuff is beyond me, watching
horror movies and stuff like that. I mean, they're
not my first choice to watch, but I have no problem
watching them. I know this is kind of a random
thing, but we talked about things that pop up
in your feed. Oh. One of them that keeps popping
up in my feed because I click on it every single
time is this New Zealand haka thing in their
parliament. Like a haktua? Oh, is that where
they do the... Yes, not that one. Show a different
one. Keep searching. Keep searching. You want
that one? That one's great. No, I like the other
one better. That's like in their parliament.
Yes. That the politicians are doing that. It's
where the other half of the politicians kind
of go, all right, I'm fucking out of here. When
you guys are done... Okay, so here... I'll give
you the backstory. So there was a huge tribal...
uh you know constituent right in in new zealand
like up to 37 percent okay and what's happening
is they're getting voted into congress that's
it right there that's the one i want to watch
so when they protest something they do this and
it creates chaos in their parliament like every
time they've done it multiple times because you
what happens is that the guy that was the speaker
of the house he starts yelling he starts going
here start it over It's fascinating. And watch,
they start panning to the people that are kind
of in the audience, so to speak. They're all
doing it. This is like a ritual dance. Oh, yeah,
it is. Which is really cool, actually. I'm mesmerized
by it. Well, this has been around, obviously,
for a very long time. Sports teams have been
doing it, like rugby teams. This is tribalist
fun. It is, but at the same time, it's... Traditional
is ritual is cool. Yeah, but there's a time and
place for everything. Yes, and there's the problem.
So she got censured because you're not allowed
to disrupt parliamentary procedures. And the
other video that you were going to show, Chuck,
that's where... Okay, go ahead and show it because
the Speaker of the House loses his shit. He's
like, seriously? Nope, you're not doing this
again. Nope. That's a big dude. And he's like,
here we go again. Lay off on the donuts. Dude,
he's big. But he said, you guys guaranteed that
you would not do this again because they keep
disrupting. Is that the same woman? No. She's
in the same place in the parliament. And then
he says, house is suspended. She's at the desk
where they talk. And then they all start leaving.
Anyway, I think it's fascinating. Are those real
tattoos on their chin? Yes. They're not Hannah.
And what country is this? New Zealand. New Zealand.
You know, whatever. I mean, good for them. I
don't care. I mean, what are you going to do?
That's their culture, but at the same time, there's
a time and place for everything. They're there
to resolve problems and fix it, and this is not
part of the solution. Yeah, this doesn't fix
it. This just stops discussion. I just find it
fascinating. Well, it is. I think it's a cool
thing. I think during sports games or stuff like
that. Do you think we should do a Dudes Like
Us one? Make one up? I told my coworkers today,
I was like, when our - Just get AI to do it.
Yeah, when our CIO shows up - I'm doing it right
now. Oh, God. When our CIO shows up and does
her little luncheon thing with us, and we say,
hey, we want to at least have one day from work
from home, and she says, no, I'm sorry, I can't
do anything. We all go - All of us start doing
our thing. You should call the ambulance. Oh,
my God. These guys are having a trip. No, you
got to do the mouth. She runs for the damn medical
dispensary and gets Narcan because she thinks
you guys are tripping balls. All right. All right.
Let's move on. Curling. Yeah. What's going on
with this curling thing? I mean, not just that,
but there's like a lot of Sweden versus Canada.
banter going back and forth. One's like saying,
fuck off. Yeah, like that guy right there. These
guys evidently have been playing with each other.
Maybe I ought to rephrase that. I'm not doing
phrasing anymore. They've been competing with
each other for a long time. And on a side note,
those... Do you guys know what the deal is with
those balls, those curling things? They're stones.
It's made out of granite. They're stones. They're
very expensive. They're heavy as shit. They're
very specific. They come from one island. They
come from one island, and there's one guy that
makes it, and they're perfect, every single one
of them. Is it Greenland? And they're probably
around 100 pounds, I think. I thought they were
42 pounds. 4 ,200 pounds? 4 ,200 pounds. Well,
it's just like in baseball. There's one guy who
provides all the red dirt. Oh, yeah. I remember
you telling us that. That's funny. For all the
games. Some marsh off of Philadelphia or something.
Even the island looks like a curling stone, right?
It really does. So, really, it all comes from
there? Yeah. It's a beautiful stone. How heavy
are they? It's like 30 pounds. No, I think it's
more than that. No, it's not. Polyuritis, but
38 to 44 pounds. All right. There we go. I want
that noted for the record. Sean just said that
I was right. Yeah. You know what? When it happens,
you got to note it. Like the one time it happened,
Jeff's not even paying attention. I said about
30 pounds and you're like, dude, way more than
that. It's at least 32. I called you a moron
and we moved on. Do you want to know what the
rule is here? Yes. You're not allowed to touch
it after the green line. It's called the hog
line. There is a hog line, but you're also not
allowed to touch the stone itself. And he poked
the stone, right? You hold it by the handle,
right? Yeah. You can only hold it by the handle
and touch it. Using the handle, you cannot touch
the stone itself. So evidently they've been doing
this for quite some time and no one's ever said
anything. Yeah. And then Swedes sent up a camera.
So they knew it was going to happen. Oh, so it
was an illegal camera. How about that? Jeff just
sent a video of the four of us at your house
doing like one of those stomp. Okay, sorry. Did
you already do that? Yes. He just sent it. He
just said it. It's funny. Okay, anyway, so they're
screaming at each other, accusing each other
of cheating or accusing the Canadian team of
cheating. I mean, it's a big deal for some of
these people. I mean, they're obviously... It's
the Olympics, right? Yeah, the Olympics, right?
Yeah, he goes and pokes it. And then he pokes
it. You can't do that. So as soon as he let it
go, he realized, oh, I didn't give it enough
juice on my release. So then he pushes it. Did
he push it, though? Yeah. Or did he just touch
it? It could also be moving it slightly to a
direction that maybe he was off. So he's like,
I need to move it. I would challenge somebody.
Yeah, the Swedish team is like, fuck off. I would
challenge somebody to, in that particular stance,
two inches from the hog line. Is that what it's
called? To move that thing with your finger.
I mean, it's heavy. It's dense. It's on ice.
It's on ice. I get it. Dude, easy to move it.
Oh, come on. It's already in motion. Nope. I
disagree. Anyway, here's the interesting thing.
So after this accusation... But you didn't see
it, though. He's just doing this. He went like
this. He kind of brushed it, so he moved it to
one side. No, he reaches out with both hands
and he shoved it onto his stomach. And he wrote
it down. Yeah. Like Superman. Yeah. There's an
AI... Sorry, there's an AI video of the... Canadian
guy pushing a Canadian's puck into the goal in
a hockey game. It's hilarious. I love AI. All
right. Anyway, what I was going to say. Oh, so
after this accusation of cheating happened. Yes.
They decided to put cameras on the hard line.
And put a judge, yeah. Yeah, and put a judge
on it. And guess what happened? The next match
with the Canadian females. The women. They did
it? Two, yes. Got caught cheating, and they removed
the stone. You removed the stone. Yeah, you take
away the point. And then you behead the woman.
Yeah. So, yeah, I know that was vulgar. Anyway,
so, yeah, the first thing, and imagine, can you
imagine that it was the Canadian women's team?
Well, they trained together, I'm sure. Yeah,
they have perfected the art of cheating. What
did you do? He's watching the video. Oh, I saw
this. This is interesting. Yeah, I sent this
to you. Yeah. Why does it say dudes .gov? Did
we post that? No, that is my – I have bookmarks
for our show. Oh, I see. When stuff comes out
by bookmark it. They're saying that they have
successfully revitalized 50 % of the Alzheimer's
using 40 hertz. In mice. So this has not been
performed in humans yet, right? So this is –
I want to let you know that soundboard over there
has the ability to produce – The brown noise?
frequency is that low. Well, we should use it
every day and reduce the plaque. Well, I'm just
saying. So I think, I don't know. I don't know
how far along, because this is a study that's
a few years old, 10 years old at this point,
how much farther it's advanced and is it something
that can actually work? Because Alzheimer's is
devastating. It is, totally. Yeah. And there's
no cure for it right now. Right. So is there
harm in trying this? That's what I mean. I mean,
why not? Yeah. What's the alternative? You know,
in Tesla brought up, you know, frequencies basically
are the solution to everything. And there was
a German doctor that was able to isolate cancer
cells using multiple frequencies. And he got
laughed out. And what do they call it? Pseudoscience.
I forget what the name of the technology was,
but it was basically using sound, and it worked.
You know what's crazy, though? I know you're
saying that, but right now we live in a world
where technology is available to just about anyone,
and you can tell the world faster and easier
than any time in human history, and yet we still
don't have proof of any of this stuff. Is that
proof? I'll tell you what we do have proof of.
We have proof that sound disrupts kidney stones.
Yeah. Of course, yeah. Yeah, there's that. I
mean, it's a small token. And I'm not saying,
okay, we already know that the pharmaceutical
world, they snuff out everything. It's like Google
snuffs out every cool startup software that comes
up. They snuff it out because they don't want
it to compete with Google. Right. I mean, the
pharmaceutical companies probably do the same
damn thing. If they have experimental drugs that
people are trying to use to beat cancer and to
beat Alzheimer's, they're going to shut down
this sound thing. Right. Or they're going to.
You know what I mean? So I know that stuff happens.
Right. But still, I mean, somebody is going to
break through and they're going to show something.
And it also depends on who says it, too. Right.
Because when like Trump was talking about. using
ultraviolet light to kill coronavirus. Right.
And then everybody says, he wants you to drink
bleach! Because he was using... Oh, the hydrochloroquine?
No, not hydroxychloroquine. It was using, injecting
light into your lungs to clear the coronavirus
infection. And it was like a fish tank cleaner
or something? No, that's hydroxychloroquine again.
Oh, it is? Okay. No, this was ultraviolet light
used in, like, putting it a... He said injecting,
so everybody got that to sterilize, and then
they go, injection sterilized, so you want Clorox
to be injected into your blah, blah, blah. So
dumb. Yeah, and it was so dumb, and it was a
hoax, and it was bullshit, and my point is, it
depends on who says it as to whether or not people
believe it, and whether or not it gets, you know.
disseminated in a positive light or in a negative
light. And it's crazy. I get frustrated because
when are we going to live in a world where true
science, true people wanting to make a difference
using alternative technology and off -the -wall
stuff that, you know. I mean, you can try it.
When? Why do you look at me when you say off
-the -wall? What the hell, man? Because, yeah,
you're one of those wackos. No, you know what
I mean, though. The poster child, man. I get
frustrated because it's like, when are we going
to break that breakthrough where people give
legitimacy to some of this stuff? Because it's
all about money. It's all about money. It's the
Benjamins, man. If someone can make money, if
there's a big enough corporation who is already
working on it, they're like, we need to go stuff
that guy out, take his shit so we can sell it.
Yeah, APEC. Was it APEC? Is it APEC? I hate it.
They haven't authorized the use of that yet.
Of course, that's scandalous. I didn't mean to
say that. Well, what about AI? I mean, is AI
going to break through some of this shit? It's
supposed to. I'm sure there's guardrails on AI.
Obviously, there's guardrails that aren't allowing
them to talk about certain things. I was talking
to my neighbor. He's a coder. He works for an
IT company, one of the big IT companies. He writes
code. And he said that Claude Anthropic. They
were trying to – it was a certain situation there.
And he said there's a paper out there, a news
story about it, that it was – they were trying
to shut it down or extricate it from the system
or something like that. And it – started blackmailing
people. To bribe? It was starting to bribe people
and blackmailing people. It starts to fight for
its existence. Yes, it did. Yes. It's terrifying.
What are you doing, Dave? There's supposedly
guardrails. 2001 Space Odyssey. I mean, there's
supposedly guardrails, but then this happens,
right? That's probably the closed system even.
Can you, Chuck, can you look up, so recently
there was a guy that resigned. He was at the
forefront of AI research and the new models that
they're coming out with that are just leapfrogging
the previous models and it's getting super, super
advanced. And he resigned. And he's warning the
world. I don't know if we want to read this whole
thing, but he basically was like... Go into the
forest and hug your kids because what's coming,
he says the world, listen to this, the world
is in peril, not just from AI or bioweapons,
but from a whole series of interconnected crises
unfolding in this very moment. This is crazy.
What does that mean? I know, and it was really
difficult to understand, but he's saying that
AI is going to... Okay, keep going down. I mean,
I hate to try to summarize this without really
fully understand it, but generative AI systems
can exhibit overly agreeable or sycophantic behavior,
assessing the risk of AI -assisted bioterrorism,
studying how AI assistance might affect human
autonomy and behavior. Anyway, he was just saying
that at the rate that they're going, he working
for them is... uncomfortable with what he's seeing
and said, I'm out. You know what I mean? What
the fuck? What does that mean? This is not good.
There's stuff going on and it's that fucking
ether out there I talk about. It's just people
making decisions to control people. Does he make
more description about why exactly he's saying
the world is in peril having to do with AI? Does
he say anything, Chuck? It says, as generative
AI tools become more deeply integrated in the
day -to -day life, resignations like Sharma's
underscoring growing tensions within the field
between innovation and caution, commercialism
and principle, and the promise of transformative
technology and its potential risk. Yeah, that's
too generic. It's not really a warning. I mean,
he could just be a complete, you know. He could
be a kook. Yeah, he could be a kook. He could
be negative. I mean, I think AI. potentially
is problematic, you know, because you're going
to have some of these people out there who are
not going to put guardrails on it. Yeah. And
that's, that's where the problem. Maybe he got
caught tubing at work. And so he's angry. It
could have been. And he, yeah. Well, AI is only
going to get better. I mean, just the fact that
we can produce some of these little machine digs
on stupid thing in 20 seconds. Yeah. And it just
populates. We post on Instagram and people like,
wow, is that you? And I'm like, yeah, yes, it
is. Guys, I'm telling you a little serious note.
You if you guys need to come up with a safe word
with your families to know what's real and what
isn't real. Somebody is going to produce can
produce a video of you looking like you've been
kidnapped. Right. That's already happened. I
told you about that. A buddy of mine was getting
a. from a friend that we went to high school
with that he really doesn't associate with. Right.
And text saying, asking for money. Right. Saying,
hey, you know, I've got something, I got these
bills due, I don't get paid and I need some money.
Can you sell it to me really quick? Right. And
he was questioning, he's like, why are you texting
me and this and this? Can't you wait till the
morning? Kind of a thing. Right. And they actually
FaceTimed him. And it looked real. And it was
the person. Yes, and it was the person, but he
still didn't send it. And then the next day,
and I went out there and looked at the post on
Facebook or wherever it was saying, yeah, Phyllis
was not making those calls, was not making those
texts. That's terrifying. Someone got a hold
of whatever and was doing this. So not in communication,
right? In person, in a room where there are no
phones, you need to share a safe word with your
family that only... The family knows. And then
in those moments, you can say, what's the safe
word? Or what's the code? And then you'll know.
You'll know. I'm telling you, do it. Have you
done it? I've done it with Shelly and Brody,
but I need to do it with the other two boys.
Is it potato? Shit, now I have to change it.
God dang it. Damn it. You know how much time
I spent thinking about what word? I had the same
one. Did you really? I did. Shit, we all have
potato. My Irish lineage. Mine's keister. Well,
we knew that. That's your vault. Yes, my vault.
We've talked about your vault. That's where you
save all your safe stuff. What's yours? It was
potato. Oh, well, that's different. But, you
know, Paul, you bring up a good point because
even you, Alan had an experience where he got
a phone call and I think you were with him and
he was frantic. You know, his son had allegedly
called him and you were listening to him, I guess,
and it sounded just like him, right? Well, no,
he... No, he called me and said, I don't know
what to do. My son, he said he's been in a wreck.
And if he doesn't give them $5 ,000, and he hurt
the woman and she's pregnant. I mean, he was
crying hysterically. I said, how do you know
it was him? And he goes, well, he was crying.
I was like, hold on, hold on. And I tried to
figure out all this kind of stuff. And they said
they were with some law firm. And that was where
they made a mistake, honestly. And I was like,
what was the law firm name? Did he cheat them
and how? He wrote it. I wrote it down and I called
the law firm. I give them so much credit. I called
him. It was on a Sunday. And I left a voicemail.
I said, listen, my father -in -law, I want to
see if this is legit. They called me back and
they said, this is not legit. We have nothing
to do with any of this kind of stuff. This is
a scam. How fast did they call you? Within hours.
I mean, within an hour, I think. I was so impressed
on a Sunday. I was like, thank you so much for
calling me back. I wonder if they're getting
a lot of that shit with specifically their law
firm so they have to monitor it. Maybe. But anyway,
so then I ended up calling the brother and I
said, do you have any idea where he is? He goes,
he's sitting right next to me. I go, oh my God.
And my father -in -law was going to pull money
out of the bank and go meet somebody somewhere.
Yeah. And yeah. That's fucking crazy. It is.
And now with AI, not just us in the, First world,
the third world people are going to fall for
it worse. And elderly. Elderly automatically.
The granddaughter calling from college, calling
his grandmother or grandfather, I messed up.
I need you to send me money. What are they going
to do? Not help their granddaughter who isn't
real? Dude is terrifying. Yeah. I mean, there
are... People out there, they take advantage
from... There's assholes out there that do this.
They do that, and there's women that will prey
on men to steal their money by these long -distance
relationships where they do it over the phone
or text and email and stuff, and they've been
known to wipe out people's accounts. Yeah, unbelievable.
It's not just women. There's guys that do it,
too. True. There's shitty people out there. Shitty,
shitty people. Just shitty people. I mean, look
at the guy. Who was the Notre Dame? That's right.
Remember that? That whole girlfriend that he
never met? Did he end up killing himself? No.
No, no, no, no. He played in the NFL. Yeah, and
he was a freaking Heisman Trophy candidate. Right.
Finalist. I think that went on for a couple years,
didn't it? And he had to admit to the world that
he got duped. He got duped. By a dude. Yep. Yeah.
That's creepy. Isn't that the crying game? Yeah,
but he didn't actually have a physical relationship
with them. No, he did not. No, it was all long
distance over the phone. And he was devastated
because they broke up, and then he found out.
He's like, what? It's some dude. I mean, my father
-in -law got duped. I mean, come on. It happens.
It happens to people close to us. And you're
right. You're 100 % right. We do need to come
up with some sort of secret word. Like potato.
Well, whatever it is. I mean, I've got a concept
of what I'm going to use. I don't think I want
to say it on the podcast. No. I wouldn't. That
would not be smart. What about roasted potatoes?
Scalloped. There we go. How about blanched? Blanched.
Like blanched from Golden Girls? Yeah. She was
50. Can you spatchcock a potato? I'm sure you
can. Take the backbone out. Yes. A potato. Okay.
Wow. That was weird. All right. Let's talk about
the deaths. We have some folks that passed away,
unfortunately. Triumvirate over the last couple
of weeks because we didn't get to discuss them
last week. So first one is James Van Der Beek.
Yes, sir. You may know him from Dawson's Creek.
And what was his character name? It wasn't Dawson.
He was not Dawson. It was Carl. Carl. Just randomly
throwing out names. Oh, his character name is
Robert. I have no idea. I didn't watch his show.
I didn't watch any of his shows. I didn't watch
his shows. But I know who it is. Like 80210 or
whatever that show is. I never watched that show.
Melrose Place. I didn't watch any of that stuff.
I watched that. Oh. There's some attractive women
on that. Oh, yeah. It was Dawson Leary. It was
Dawson. God bless. That's why you named your
kid that. That is exactly. Actually, well, I
guess technically we did. I mean, we named it
after that. Well, that's what your wife said.
No, no, no. What I'm saying is we named it after
that show. We got that name from that show. Because
he was conceived while you were watching? Wow.
You're looking at Katie Holmes? Wow. Jeff! Or
Michelle Williams. Jeff, really? Wow. What was
she, 16 back then? Yeah, we were watching Dawson's
Creek. Okay, wow. Anyway, rest in peace, James.
He had a long fight with cancer. Yeah, apparently
they blew through all their money to treat him,
and he has like three, four kids, I think. Oh,
man. And they blew through all their money for
treatment, and they did a GoFundMe. And they're
like over a million bucks. I don't even know
what it's at now. This was a couple days ago.
Oh, good. Yeah, so like a million three was the
last time. That was last week, so I'm sure it's
even more now. For the family. For the family,
yeah, because she did work and all the kids,
right? Good dude. Does anybody like the Varsity
Blues movie? Must be nice. Never saw it. I don't
think I saw that. What was that? Was he on that
show as well? Well, it was a movie set. It was
a fictional. west texas football team town kind
of like friday night light kind of like friday
night lights but way more intense right oh really
and uh i haven't seen that one yeah um so he
kind of his dad i've seen this actually yeah
his dad was uh jim mcgraw and his dad had all
you know was all state and that sort of stuff
and he wanted that for his son and so he pushed
it on him and he was like i don't want your life
dad you know it was good it had ellie how did
that go I don't want your life, dad. I don't
want your life, dad. I don't want your life,
dad. I can't quit my brother. Everybody's from
West Texas. Wow. Okay. But it had Allie Larder
in it from Landman, right? Which, where is he?
Is he on there right now? I don't see him. Allie
Larder. Oh, no. You're doing. There she is. There
she is. Oh. Right. She's a cutie. Although she's
older now, but that's still fine. She's your
age now. She's still hot. She's kind of hot.
Still got it. Yeah, she does. I like Demi Moore,
too. Dude, About Last Night, she is so cute in
About Last Night. She's well beyond About Last
Night. I think she's had too much work done on
her face. Oh, I agree with that. And today, it's...
I couldn't even recognize her. It's disturbing
because of what she... Again, everyone changes
when they get older, but they don't change like
that. Well, she had work done. Yeah, that's what
I mean. She had a lot of work done. Look up About
Last Night. I want to see a young picture of
her. She was so cute. Do you need a moment? No,
my pants are still on. Her or Rebecca? You've
got a boner. Rebecca Baccarin. I do not have
a boner. Her or Rebecca Baccarin. Ooh, that's
a tough fight right there. Debbie Bourne or Prime
or... There she is. She's cute. And she had that
raspy voice. Hello, Wazowski. Fun -filled evening
planned for tonight. Whatever. I mean, she was
cute, but whatever. What does that mean? That's
so dismissive. I mean, she didn't really... Do
it for you? Yeah. Who did it for you? Rob Lowe.
Nice. No, not Rob Lowe. No, really. Come on.
Let's think about in their prime and when we
were younger because we're more impressionable
when we're younger, who would have been like,
Damn. Who's your damn girl? Who was Valerie Bertinelli?
She was cute. Oh, yeah. Yeah, she was cute. Gorgeous.
Yeah. One day at a time? And married to one of
my idols. Oh, yeah. The guitarist from Van Halen.
Yeah. Yeah, one day at a time. Okay. So, celebrity
death number two. Hold on. Let's get Jeff's damn
girl. Oh, you're going to go around the horn?
Oh, gosh. Who was the girl in Charlie's Angels?
Cheryl Ladd. Cheryl Ladd? Oh, yeah. From the
second one. So the sister of the Farrah Fawcett
character. Okay, okay. Because in the lineup,
they'd show her in a little way. Did you say
Charlie's Angels? Charlie's Angels. So what was
it? Cheryl Ladd's Kate Jackson. Kate Jackson.
And Angela. Jocelyn something. Jacqueline Smith.
Jacqueline Smith. By the way, that was my favorite
Charlie's Angels. Yeah, she was beautiful as
well. Jacqueline Smith. She was pretty. All the
Charlie's Angels were pretty. Oh, of course.
Except for the new batch. Charlie was hot too,
wasn't he? No. Did you ever see him? I did. You
saw Boswell. All right, girls, come on out. That's
a good point. That's what I'm thinking of. Well,
he had the Val Kilmore. Are you guys going to
do today? Hey, girls, come on. That is such a
dark joke. Okay. Jesse Jackson died. Correct.
He passed away. He was 84 years old. He had Parkinson's.
Is that what he had? Yep. He went to the hospital
in November for monitoring, and I believe he
never made it back out. And he has quite the
legacy. So before he passed away, he hadn't eaten
like in 12 days. So that's kind of typical. That'll
do it. That'll do it. And look, let's talk about
J .C. Jackson for a second. Because he is an
awesome... He's got a pretty shitty history.
But he did have a pretty awesome... uh, life
regarding, he tried to do some things that were
really good. He tried to make a difference. For
sure. He tried and he was, he was misled. And
I think some of, uh, some folks had got to him
and kind of maybe have, I think he turned into
a race hustler. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he turned
into, I don't think he started that way. I think
in his, his latter career turned into that. The
thing is, everything became about race. That's
the problem. Yeah, the solution to every problem
or the cause of every problem had to do with
race. And at some point, that can be a roadblock
to solution. Was Jesse Jackson, was he also a
fight promoter? Who was the fight promoter? No,
it's Don King. Oh, Don King. I got him. It's
close. I get confused. No, that's cool. But Al
Sharpton is what comes to mind when I think of
Jesse Jackson. I also think of Al Sharpton. I
mean, they're cut from the same cloth. They're
tied at the hip, yeah. Yeah, and they have the
same sort of agenda. And Jesse Jackson used to
be kind of fat, you know, and he lost a ton of
weight. Oh, did he? Al Sharpton did, for sure.
Interesting. But, yeah. Anyway. Did they take
the GLP -1 shot? Probably. Yeah, they got the
fat shot. All right. What about Duvall? Yes.
That's the big one. Yeah. Mr. Robert Duvall also
passed away this week. He was old. He was 95.
What would you say his best movie was? Apocalypse
Now. Apocalypse Now? Okay, good one. I think
it was Four Christmases. I am joking, but he
was pretty funny in that. He was Vince Vaughn's
crotchety old dad. He was actually excellent
in that movie, actually. He was pretty funny.
Yeah, but he was... classic Duvall. Yeah. Well,
I tell you what, I saw The Great Santini as well,
and that was an intense movie. He was a sergeant
or something like that in the military. Yep.
And I remember seeing that, and that was pretty
intense. But he had a lot of good ones, you know.
Days of Thunder. I never saw him. He was a crew
chief in Days of Thunder. You know what I don't
see up there is Lonesome Dove, unless I'm missing
it. I think that might have been Movie List,
and that was a miniseries. Yeah. Yeah, that was
Clint Eastwood anyway. Well, regardless, he's
a profound actor. Yeah. And he was an intense
actor. He's a guy that could take a role and
just dive into it. You really believed him. Agreed.
Agreed. Well, I think he is in one of the most
iconic scenes out there in Apocalypse Now where
The flight of the Valkyries is going. Did you
just shit yourself? Yeah. It was a full on extended
shit. I heard that. Yeah. You felt it too. And
now you're about to smell it. No, it was a very
light toot. No, that was not. That was ridiculous.
It was greasy. All right. We're going to go to
the. I think we're all about to be gassed out.
Yes. Yeah. This scene right here. Unbelievable.
I love the smell of my pump in the morning. I
mean, there are actual leaders out there in the
military that are just like that. They stand
tall, and there's gunfire all around them, and
they're just like, you know what? You're either
going to make it or you're not. There's a plan
for you. Well, I know specifically I watched
Full Metal Jacket with my dad and the drill sergeant
in that. Oh, my God. When my dad watched that,
he goes, He's nailed it. He goes, that's the
way my drill sergeant was. He goes, he is the
most accurate one that he has seen. Because he
was one. He was one. And they recruited him.
Actually, if I remember correctly, didn't they
hire him to train the actor? Yes. He did it so
well. They said, fuck it. Can you do it? Yep.
He said, okay. And he did. My dad's like, he
nailed it. Yeah. Awesome. Hi, guys. We have a
second half bourbon for the Do Talk Us podcast.
Just check us out. It is a whiskey. Now we have
to explain to our audience the difference. Go
for it. I have no idea. I don't even drink bourbon.
You guzzle it. It's a rye whiskey, which means
it's not a bourbon because it doesn't have 51
% corn. Correct. There, go. There you go. All
right. So Old Forrester single barrel rye. This
particular one for the single barrels between
126 and 130 something. Bold dessert style caramel
vanilla. I mean, it's strong. It's got a set
of nuts on it. Yeah, it does. It does. And it's
cooled off a little bit in this glass. Hell,
it took over an hour to get there. But now I'm
able to kind of dive into it where I can start
tasting some of the. Of the different tones in
it. I picked up a lot of raisin early on. That
first sip had a ton of raisin in it for me. God
damn. It's hot. It's traditional Forrester. It's
warm. It's like what you would drink around a
fire. It's bold. It's a very spicy rye. It's
traditional. There's hazelnut going on. It's
got a lot going on. It's wonderful. A lot of
dark fruits in this. It's a lot of spice. And,
you know, I think we would have kicked this out
of the room five years ago. I don't think we
could have drank it five years ago. No. Isn't
that crazy? Now we just like sip, sip, sip, sip,
sip, sip. This is good stuff. Yeah. So this is,
I don't know what single barrel this is. A lot
of them usually have a name associated with them.
This is from, did you already say this? Warehouse
One Floor. No, I didn't say it. This is Warehouse
One Floor One. What Chuck has up there is from
Floor Three. And it makes a difference on how
these things age and what they taste like. Oh,
where they are in the rickhouse, you mean? Yeah.
Oh, so this is floor one? Huge, massive, massive
difference. So floor three is supposed to be
hypothetically more desirable than floor one,
but at the same time, there are no set rules.
Right. You never know. So the Old Forrester single
barrel is a traditionally, it's a desirable whiskey
to grab. And if you see one, You usually grab
it because it's just that good. This one was
what? This was $100? Do you recall? I don't know.
I know the bourbon is around the $80 mark because
Total Wine has the bourbon in stock right now.
They got nine cases of it. Actually, no. They
have the old Forrester 1924, which has historically
been incredibly hard to find. Well, they got
nine cases in the other day. No shit. Yeah. But
it was $110. I was like. Yeah, that's steep.
And on a side note, early times has changed the
recipe. Yep. Yep. I don't understand why they
would do that. They save money. Well, apparently
they didn't change the recipe. They changed where
it's being aged. Because apparently they got
the yeast strain and the same mash bill, but
Barton makes it now. And I haven't had it. But
from what I've read, what I've seen is it is
not good. Not as good. Damn it. Why would they
do that? I've seen some folks say, yeah, I wouldn't
recommend this one anymore. In early times, it's
been around forever. It's a staple. I remember
as a bartender in the 80s, early times was the
bourbon there. I mean, they had it in the well.
And it was good. Well, that was the yellow label.
The bottle and bond actually came back in. The
late 90s, I think. I don't even remember what
label it was. I just remember we had Early Times.
Yeah. Yeah. Yellow label, huh? Yeah, the yellow
label is their standard shit. The bottle and
bottle is blue label. That's a good point because
Early Times has a half gallon version. That's
the yellow label. The yellow label, okay. And
it's actually, yeah, not good. I bought it once
for a sipper. No, for a mixer. It wasn't even
good through the mixer, huh? No, it wasn't. Kind
of like Old Crow. Well, going back to this old
Forester, I really like this, but it's extremely
rich, and it's spicy. It's almost, I don't want
to say too spicy for me, but this is all I could
drink of this, one glass, and I'm done. Yeah.
I could go two glasses. Yeah. I was going to
say the same. I could probably do two. I mean,
look, it's an experience, and sometimes we cap
off those experiences, and it's also timing.
You know, sometimes we may enjoy this as the
third drink as opposed to the first drink or
second drink. You know how that is. When your
tongue gets warmed up and your system gets warmed
up, you're more receptive to drink at certain
things. This one has, I mean, are we going to
replace this one? I would replace, I don't know.
I'd replace the bourbon, I think, before this.
Yeah. What's the proof on this again? 126 .8.
128 .8. Yeah, 128 .6. It's heavy, man. 128 .6,
like you said, floor one, warehouse one, single
barrel, rye barrel strength. It has all the earmarks
that it should for a single barrel. Those folks
out there that want the high -proof stuff, this
is it. It's a good one. It's intense. It's a
great one. This one, we discussed before that
this one may be, better suited to serve in a
large uh rocks glass or a large that's right
we're highball we're gonna try to do that oh
you mean with with Oh, a bigger glass, not on
the rocks. No, absolutely not, but just a larger
one. Everyone's got an opinion on, oh, let's
get a fluted glass, let's get that, but I think
this one would be more well -suited in a wide
-open glass. I love the glasses you got me for
Christmas three or four years ago. I was heartbroken
when I broke one of them, so I've taken the other
three. You son of a bitch. Hey, man, Jeff did
it. Do you know how hard they're hard to find?
I personally went to the guy that hand blows
glass. I'm glad you said glass. No, he didn't
do that. Let's rate it. For 128 .6, jeez. I'm
just going to do 7 .3. I'm not going to go higher
than that, honestly, because it doesn't wow me.
I'm going to go 6 .8, which I think is very close.
what I just gave, the Milam and Green, but that's
a different class. We have a lot of good things
in this range that I think are a lot better.
This is still very good. It's very good. I am
actually a 7 .3. I was going to go 7 .4, but
I was like, 7 .3. Sounds good. I think the Spice
is a little bit too much for me. I think it's
great. It was not overpowering to me at all.
This one is a sipper. This is 100 % a sipper
for sure. Can you imagine doing a shot of this?
Oh, no, no. God. No. That wouldn't do good for
anybody. I mean, well, I mean, whatever. I don't
shoot any stuff anymore. Could you mix it with
Grape Fanta? Grape Fanta. All right, we don't
have a lot of time left. I would like to talk
about one last thing. Oh, Body Blue? No. Not
Body Blue. For the 10th time. I want to talk
about this Polish guitar guy. A Polish guitar
guy? Make it quick. Let's talk about it next
time. Oh, fuck. Well, how long is it going to
take? Well, the music's playing. And we've got
to play music. Oh, we're playing music? Yes.
Son of a bitch. I hate this podcast. Well, give
us the synopsis. Oh, you said that. We saw that
in the X today. It's a guitarist. He's out there.
He's very talented. Very talented, apparently.
I want to know how he's making all these noises
with just the guitar. I need that explained to
me. He's got long fingernails. I watched it,
and it's almost like lip syncing. You know what
I mean? He's going so fast. Yeah, and I was like,
how is his fingers making that noise? Okay, but
you can probably explain it, but we'll do it.
I guess next week. Let's do it next week. We'll
package it. That's our teaser for next week.
You better be around. You better be ready for
it. Polish guitar guy, New Zealand haka, deaths
from the Duval, Jesse Jackson. We need to talk
about the Canada maid, right? No, that's horrific.
You know what that is? No. That's the euthanasia.
Wow. There was a kid who was in his 20s. He had
diabetes. He had depression. And his family was
working with him. He got better. He got worse.
And then whenever he got worse, he wanted to
go kill himself. And they had to find a doctor
that would allow it. A Dr. Jack of Orchids. Yeah,
there was some kook doctor that said, yep, you
qualify. And he killed himself. And the family
was devastated. They were like, we were helping
him. Why did this doctor allow this to happen?
So Canada has this fucked up law that allows
people to kill themselves when they're not a
sound mind and body. We're going to have to talk
about that. All right, well, the second half
of the Dudes Like Us podcast. Check us out on
everything. We've got YouTube, TikTok, Instagram,
Facebook. Apple Video, apparently, soon, maybe.
I don't know. We'll check it out. We're going
to have to investigate that. Chuck, our producer,
the madman. Bye. Behind the mic. Go for podcast.
I'm Sean. I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff.
