WEBVTT

00:00:08.360 --> 00:00:14.699
Jeez. I got to tell you, I neglected to tell

00:00:14.699 --> 00:00:17.679
you guys in the first half that Paul picked me

00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:21.820
up, as he does every single Tuesday, today and

00:00:21.820 --> 00:00:25.640
Wednesday, to head over to the podcast. And we're

00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:30.739
on our way over. And I was like, dang it. I left

00:00:30.739 --> 00:00:34.950
my phone. It was actually like this. Oh, my God.

00:00:35.810 --> 00:00:37.850
Did he start shaking? Oh, my God. He's like,

00:00:37.969 --> 00:00:41.450
Paul, stop the car. Stop the car. Sean, what's

00:00:41.450 --> 00:00:43.149
going on? Are you having a heart attack? I can't

00:00:43.149 --> 00:00:45.530
find my phone. I can't find my phone. He's shit.

00:00:45.850 --> 00:00:48.929
Yeah, and he's shit in my seat. And I was like,

00:00:48.990 --> 00:00:50.609
I got some wipes in the back seat. Clean that

00:00:50.609 --> 00:00:53.009
shit up. Okay, actually, none of that happened.

00:00:53.090 --> 00:00:55.689
Go ahead. So we turn around and we head back.

00:00:55.890 --> 00:00:57.810
And I was like, dude, you know, because at the

00:00:57.810 --> 00:00:59.670
same time, we're kind of like, oh, man, how was

00:00:59.670 --> 00:01:01.170
your day? Oh, my day's tough. You know, I had

00:01:01.170 --> 00:01:02.990
a long day and blah, blah, blah, blah. You know,

00:01:02.990 --> 00:01:05.049
and then I recognized I didn't have my phone.

00:01:05.090 --> 00:01:07.290
We came back to my house. I was like, Paul, I

00:01:07.290 --> 00:01:09.650
got to get my phone. Just run inside. We'll do

00:01:09.650 --> 00:01:12.090
a quick shot. Then we'll come back out. Oh, that

00:01:12.090 --> 00:01:19.189
explains things. Yeah. In a nutshell, that explains

00:01:19.189 --> 00:01:22.930
the first half. It was probably like 120 proof,

00:01:23.049 --> 00:01:25.209
whatever it was. What was it? Do you recall?

00:01:25.709 --> 00:01:27.849
I don't remember anything right now. Oh, well,

00:01:28.030 --> 00:01:33.030
I went over to the... Oh, it was 1845. Oh, it

00:01:33.030 --> 00:01:35.409
was 1845 double barrel. Which means it was probably

00:01:35.409 --> 00:01:39.609
117, 114, something like that. Those are pretty

00:01:39.609 --> 00:01:42.269
consistent. That's pedestrian. Oh, yeah. I mean,

00:01:42.310 --> 00:01:44.269
it's... I actually don't even think... Yeah,

00:01:44.329 --> 00:01:45.870
it doesn't even affect... Yeah, but the taste

00:01:45.870 --> 00:01:49.269
was incredible. Oh, it is. The double oak, 1845,

00:01:49.549 --> 00:01:52.510
Lowry Crossing, Texas. It was good. Outstanding.

00:01:52.510 --> 00:01:54.930
We were just up in 1845 this past week at Talk

00:01:54.930 --> 00:01:57.750
of the June. We did. We had to go and visit her

00:01:57.750 --> 00:02:00.329
to pick up. She had a project that she needed

00:02:00.329 --> 00:02:03.629
to be completed that involves the woodcrafting

00:02:03.629 --> 00:02:07.129
portion of our business. Which is incredible,

00:02:07.129 --> 00:02:09.770
by the way. We're capitalizing. Yeah. Hugely.

00:02:09.770 --> 00:02:11.969
I couldn't go that day, and I was going to ask

00:02:11.969 --> 00:02:14.169
you how that went. It went well. How did it go?

00:02:14.210 --> 00:02:17.090
Yeah. You got the barrel tops? Yeah. Well, they

00:02:17.090 --> 00:02:19.520
weren't barrel tops, but they have a... They

00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.919
have these, she has promotional things that she

00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:26.340
gives out and she's got these little, yeah, these

00:02:26.340 --> 00:02:28.560
little pine boxes. They got these lids and we

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:30.599
put the Dudes Like Us stuff on. I'm sorry, the

00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:34.159
1845 stuff on there. You're going to put Dudes

00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:36.020
Like Us on the back, right? I have in the past,

00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:38.520
yes. Okay. We should do that. So we went over

00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:40.939
there to pick it up. Plus we picked up the 1845

00:02:40.939 --> 00:02:43.460
bourbon barrel that's going to be featured on

00:02:43.460 --> 00:02:45.520
one of our newer videos. We're just going to

00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:48.169
figure out where to put it. You have it? It's

00:02:48.169 --> 00:02:49.750
in the backyard. Yeah, we picked it up. It's

00:02:49.750 --> 00:02:51.389
still in the backyard. Why didn't you guys lead

00:02:51.389 --> 00:02:53.909
with that when I came to your house here? Paul,

00:02:54.009 --> 00:02:56.129
come to the backyard. Look at the barrel. There's

00:02:56.129 --> 00:02:57.449
another one right there. It looks just like it.

00:02:57.449 --> 00:03:00.610
Well, still. It needs to be cleaned up. We need

00:03:00.610 --> 00:03:02.330
a new acquisition. We need to make sure it's

00:03:02.330 --> 00:03:05.770
cleaned up from the rust on the rings, but also

00:03:05.770 --> 00:03:08.629
we don't need it to be outside for too much longer.

00:03:09.550 --> 00:03:11.680
It's supposed to rain next week. Well, yeah,

00:03:11.740 --> 00:03:13.900
we could take care of it this weekend. Yeah,

00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.340
take care of it. My point is that we went out

00:03:17.340 --> 00:03:19.319
there to take a look and... Are you going to

00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:22.500
polyurethane it? No. No. You can't leave it exactly

00:03:22.500 --> 00:03:24.039
how it is. Actually, we may... No, we're going

00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:26.060
to clean it. We could give a... Power wash it.

00:03:26.099 --> 00:03:29.500
We could do a polyurethane on the very top lid.

00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:32.680
I mean, that wouldn't be a horrible thing. I

00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:37.120
mean, because it's got handwritten ink. This

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.400
barrel was made on this date. Yeah, right. Do

00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:41.900
they side it as well? That was very nice of them.

00:03:42.219 --> 00:03:44.939
No, just the barrel top. So we just need to do

00:03:44.939 --> 00:03:46.780
a little polyurethane. So look, shout out to

00:03:46.780 --> 00:03:48.939
1845. Shout out to June. Yeah, they didn't have

00:03:48.939 --> 00:03:51.080
to do that. Shout out to Ben. Shout out to Bob,

00:03:51.300 --> 00:03:53.979
John Pettit, June and John Pettit, and Ben Pettit,

00:03:54.020 --> 00:03:58.479
and Miguel, Miguel the distiller. 1845 is a fantastic

00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.860
distiller. They keep getting these awards for

00:04:01.860 --> 00:04:04.120
the fantastic products that are coming in. And

00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:08.419
you know what? There are tons of these bourbon

00:04:08.419 --> 00:04:12.379
or whiskey industry professionals that their

00:04:12.379 --> 00:04:15.979
businesses are going down the tubes. And that's

00:04:15.979 --> 00:04:18.459
not happening with 1845. Their stuff is thriving

00:04:18.459 --> 00:04:21.199
because the expectation. Like literally out of

00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:24.060
the gate. It is. And they've got an excellent

00:04:24.060 --> 00:04:26.279
product. Very blessed. We've got a lot of stuff

00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:28.199
to talk about. We've got a loaded roster here.

00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:32.040
Chuck, our producer, is maintaining the. of what

00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.139
we're talking about, keeping us on track. Dudes

00:04:34.139 --> 00:04:36.560
Like Us, I'm Sean. I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff. And

00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:38.540
it's February 25th, the day before my wife's

00:04:38.540 --> 00:04:41.120
birthday. God bless. Ding, dong. As soon as I

00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:42.519
get home, I'm going to be like, hey, baby, it's

00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:44.339
your birthday. And she's going to be like, oh,

00:04:44.540 --> 00:04:46.639
God. Get away from me, you. You're going to tie

00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.680
a bow around your wiener. Tie a yellow ribbon

00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:53.040
around the old oak tree. It's a dick in the box.

00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.860
Something special, girl. It's my dick in a box.

00:04:58.100 --> 00:05:00.800
Oh, really? Oh, he's going to do it now. He is.

00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:05.379
I almost did. He's like, I'm in. I'm so excited.

00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:07.160
We've got a lot of stuff going on. So Chuck calls

00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:10.860
the other day, and we're like, hey, man, we've

00:05:10.860 --> 00:05:12.519
got to plan some stuff, Sean, because we've got

00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.279
stuff coming up in June. June, what is it, 15th?

00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.699
14th. 14th. Whatever. It's a Sunday. Juneteenth.

00:05:19.819 --> 00:05:22.339
That's 18th, I believe. Oh, my God. Oh, God,

00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:25.790
Billy. Okay. Anyway, and we have some planning

00:05:25.790 --> 00:05:27.629
to do. I just ate a sweet tart. It's kind of

00:05:27.629 --> 00:05:30.810
like a little bit more tart than sweet. So Chuck's

00:05:30.810 --> 00:05:33.310
like, oh, so I just bought plane tickets. So

00:05:33.310 --> 00:05:35.370
I'm excited. Oh, you did buy the plane tickets.

00:05:35.370 --> 00:05:37.810
So we got the plane tickets. We're jumping on

00:05:37.810 --> 00:05:41.670
the same plane that Pool is on. All right. Paul's

00:05:41.670 --> 00:05:43.350
sitting up in the, I don't know where you're

00:05:43.350 --> 00:05:45.810
sitting. First class. No, we're in first class.

00:05:45.910 --> 00:05:50.069
You are not in first class. We're actually super.

00:05:51.340 --> 00:05:53.939
Sapphire crystal platinum members. We're sitting

00:05:53.939 --> 00:05:56.899
in the captain's seat. Oh, you're flying the

00:05:56.899 --> 00:05:59.939
plane. No, no, no. We're just sitting in the

00:05:59.939 --> 00:06:01.720
captain's seat. I'm on the roof. He's sitting

00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:06.360
on my lap. Wow. We're in the steerage with the

00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:10.379
baggage. I'm actually a learner about you being

00:06:10.379 --> 00:06:14.329
on the same plane as me. I don't know why. I'm

00:06:14.329 --> 00:06:16.930
excited about it. We made accommodations. We're

00:06:16.930 --> 00:06:20.069
going to wrap things up. I haven't tucked in

00:06:20.069 --> 00:06:24.230
the rental car accommodations yet, but the next

00:06:24.230 --> 00:06:25.769
step is to work on where we're going to... Well,

00:06:25.790 --> 00:06:28.550
to get the car, which is not a big deal. Then

00:06:28.550 --> 00:06:29.990
where we're going to stay. We're going to divide

00:06:29.990 --> 00:06:32.310
up the camp a little bit. I think we're going

00:06:32.310 --> 00:06:35.810
to do... We're going to do... We're going to

00:06:35.810 --> 00:06:37.769
figure out what we're going to do, meaning that

00:06:37.769 --> 00:06:41.180
we have several... things to do while we're out

00:06:41.180 --> 00:06:44.360
there. Yeah, we can do Sonoma Valley. So the

00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.600
wedding is on Sunday night, right? Right. Correct.

00:06:46.740 --> 00:06:48.379
So it's Sunday night. So we're going to get there

00:06:48.379 --> 00:06:51.800
on Thursday morning -ish. So we'll be there Thursday,

00:06:51.939 --> 00:06:55.240
Friday, Saturday. And I think from Saturday to

00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:57.540
Sunday, we're going to stay at the venue. But

00:06:57.540 --> 00:07:00.199
from Thursday to Saturday morning, I think we're

00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:05.980
going to stay at a subpar hotel. Ooh, like a

00:07:05.980 --> 00:07:08.740
Motel 6? By the hour? What are you looking at?

00:07:09.019 --> 00:07:11.899
In Sonoma or Napa? We haven't. I haven't. I haven't

00:07:11.899 --> 00:07:13.300
either. It's been on my list for a while. But

00:07:13.300 --> 00:07:17.579
I would assume something south of the venue.

00:07:17.819 --> 00:07:21.279
That's San Francisco. Ooh. Like that far south?

00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:23.860
And Oakland? No, no. A little bit further north.

00:07:23.939 --> 00:07:26.040
I don't know. Well, the venue's in Sebastopol,

00:07:26.220 --> 00:07:29.899
which is north of Sonoma. So I figured out that

00:07:29.899 --> 00:07:33.139
we've got there. So I did some research, and

00:07:33.139 --> 00:07:37.040
I did not do the research you did regarding wine

00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:40.579
versus whiskey. So you did wine, and I did whiskey.

00:07:41.449 --> 00:07:46.990
pulled up a dozen different whiskey venues out

00:07:46.990 --> 00:07:50.069
there to take a look at. And I'll go to all the

00:07:50.069 --> 00:07:53.069
wine stuff. If that's what we're going to do,

00:07:53.110 --> 00:07:55.589
I'll do it. But moreover, for me, I was more

00:07:55.589 --> 00:07:57.250
interested in the whiskey stuff for the Dudes

00:07:57.250 --> 00:08:01.990
Like Us podcast. But this is a vacation, so to

00:08:01.990 --> 00:08:05.949
speak, and an experience that I'm really looking

00:08:05.949 --> 00:08:08.410
forward to. It's a shame that my wife's not going

00:08:08.410 --> 00:08:11.579
to be able to go do whatever it's going on. Have

00:08:11.579 --> 00:08:12.939
you reached out to any of these distilleries

00:08:12.939 --> 00:08:15.420
yet? All of them. Yeah, I thought I saw them.

00:08:15.420 --> 00:08:18.980
Any feedback? Yes. Nice. They're all ready for

00:08:18.980 --> 00:08:20.959
us to, some of them are like, dude, we're closing

00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.079
down. Yeah. Oh, really? We have like two of them.

00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:25.680
We're like, yeah, we're closing down. Sorry.

00:08:25.939 --> 00:08:28.680
But if you want some of the product we have,

00:08:28.740 --> 00:08:32.220
I said, whoa, whoa, whoa. Because I called them.

00:08:32.740 --> 00:08:35.580
And they were like, well, I was like, well, what

00:08:35.580 --> 00:08:37.919
product do you have? Because we're more interested

00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.299
in like cast strength stuff. If you have some

00:08:41.299 --> 00:08:43.919
cast string stuff, 100 % we'll pick a bottle.

00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:46.779
And then one of the ladies was like, yeah, we

00:08:46.779 --> 00:08:49.139
have some. By the time you guys get out here,

00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:51.360
we'll be officially closed, but I'll have a bunch

00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:54.200
of stuff still left over. Oh, wow. I don't even

00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:56.659
know what that means. That's sad, though. It

00:08:56.659 --> 00:08:59.139
is kind of sad. I mean, these are the hopes and

00:08:59.139 --> 00:09:01.259
dreams of people that put a lot of work into

00:09:01.259 --> 00:09:05.159
aging. Unless they did MGB. Well, you know what?

00:09:05.340 --> 00:09:08.240
No, they didn't. Well, actually, I think they

00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:11.429
did. Right. To come back. It's a good way to

00:09:11.429 --> 00:09:14.389
get started. It is, but you have to have a following.

00:09:14.730 --> 00:09:17.850
Yeah. You know what? Being California, they've

00:09:17.850 --> 00:09:20.950
got all kinds of unexpected applicable laws.

00:09:21.090 --> 00:09:24.009
Well, also that. Tax laws. But also the location.

00:09:24.210 --> 00:09:27.149
They're in the smack dab of wine country. And

00:09:27.149 --> 00:09:30.009
to put a whiskey place there, I think. I don't

00:09:30.009 --> 00:09:30.950
know if they're going to get a lot of traction.

00:09:31.129 --> 00:09:33.389
There's going to be some. People go out there

00:09:33.389 --> 00:09:37.090
for the wine specifically. You say that, but

00:09:37.090 --> 00:09:38.850
I wasn't looking for wine when I was going out

00:09:38.850 --> 00:09:42.409
there. We're unique. Because we're losers? Yes.

00:09:42.769 --> 00:09:45.269
We are unique. But when you go to Sonoma or to

00:09:45.269 --> 00:09:46.769
Napa, you're going out there for the wine. You're

00:09:46.769 --> 00:09:47.870
not going out there for the whiskey. Like you

00:09:47.870 --> 00:09:49.450
go to Kentucky for the whiskey. Yeah, I was going

00:09:49.450 --> 00:09:54.429
to say, if you're a whiskey, what do you call

00:09:54.429 --> 00:09:57.190
it? Somalia steward? Yeah, it's a whole different

00:09:57.190 --> 00:10:01.809
population. Yeah. In my opinion. I like both,

00:10:01.990 --> 00:10:05.929
so I guess I cross -pollinate. Well, I love both,

00:10:05.990 --> 00:10:09.970
too. Interesting. I mean, I love wines. Anyway,

00:10:10.110 --> 00:10:12.330
yeah, we need to... Yeah, I don't know what's

00:10:12.330 --> 00:10:13.649
happening over there. Are you choking on... Sweet

00:10:13.649 --> 00:10:15.590
tarts! Easy on the sweet tarts. God damn it,

00:10:15.590 --> 00:10:16.769
get those fucking things out of me. They're so

00:10:16.769 --> 00:10:18.350
good, though. They're addicting as shit. They

00:10:18.350 --> 00:10:21.389
are good. But I love wine. I mean, I didn't know

00:10:21.389 --> 00:10:23.029
a whole lot about wine. Working with the Food

00:10:23.029 --> 00:10:26.090
and Beverage at the Four Seasons at... Kind of

00:10:26.090 --> 00:10:27.830
cultivated my wine experience, and I freaking

00:10:27.830 --> 00:10:31.690
love great wine. But it's got tons of calories,

00:10:31.710 --> 00:10:35.870
so I kind of stopped drinking wine because the

00:10:35.870 --> 00:10:40.929
calories of wine are basically the same as you

00:10:40.929 --> 00:10:46.309
get in a glass of whiskey. But you get a bigger

00:10:46.309 --> 00:10:48.269
bang from your whiskey than the wine, so I was

00:10:48.269 --> 00:10:51.389
like, I'm abandoning the wine program. Well,

00:10:51.409 --> 00:10:52.830
it's like an eight -ounce pour, though, right,

00:10:52.889 --> 00:10:55.639
compared to a one -ounce pour? No, per ounce.

00:10:56.700 --> 00:10:59.740
Calories are... The wine is way sweeter. Well,

00:10:59.740 --> 00:11:01.799
it depends what kind you get. True. Well, that's

00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:04.279
true, but not much. There's only thousands of

00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:07.039
different types of wine. There's also you got

00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:09.559
to be careful because there's a lot that added

00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:14.360
sugars to get that sweet. Oh, that's right. So

00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:15.840
you got to be careful. It's like Mad Dog 2020.

00:11:17.419 --> 00:11:20.080
Yeah, I guess technically that's wine, but...

00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:24.179
Yeah, anyway, so we've got some planning to do.

00:11:24.220 --> 00:11:25.980
We need to do it sooner than later. But I'm excited

00:11:25.980 --> 00:11:27.940
about that trip. It is exciting. And we're going

00:11:27.940 --> 00:11:30.039
to have a podcast out there. Yeah, I've never

00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:32.759
been to Napa. I've never been to Sonoma Valley.

00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:35.980
I have been to San Francisco and San Jose. Yeah,

00:11:36.019 --> 00:11:38.480
but that was for Buttlusion Contest. No, no,

00:11:38.539 --> 00:11:41.220
it wasn't. But it's beautiful. All of it's beautiful.

00:11:41.340 --> 00:11:44.340
We did the Route 1 all the way down from... Along

00:11:44.340 --> 00:11:46.899
the coast. Along the coast. And that was amazing.

00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:51.299
That's beautiful. Yeah. The whole region is beautiful.

00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:54.840
I don't understand the meltdown in California.

00:11:55.299 --> 00:11:58.539
California is a God -blessed mess. It is. Politically,

00:11:58.620 --> 00:12:01.799
yes. Well, yeah. Politically, but they're a mess

00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.100
because they can't afford anything. Can't afford

00:12:05.100 --> 00:12:08.080
anything? Taxes are through the roof. Oh, the

00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:09.320
people living there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:12.620
To exist there is ridiculous. The cost of living

00:12:12.620 --> 00:12:15.019
is ridiculous. Well, it's kind of like Hawaii,

00:12:15.419 --> 00:12:18.600
right? I mean, it's got everything. If you love

00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:21.159
beach, they have it. If you love mountains and

00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:23.460
beautiful scenery, they have it. If you want,

00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:26.000
you know, everything you can imagine from a nature

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.980
perspective, California has it. It's very, very

00:12:28.980 --> 00:12:31.759
desirable. People love living there. They want

00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:34.320
to live there. But yes, they have, politicians

00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.500
have taken advantage of it and they have. They've

00:12:37.500 --> 00:12:40.639
ruined it. By the way, Brian. Brian lives in

00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:43.179
San Diego area. I may have said San Francisco.

00:12:43.179 --> 00:12:44.940
No, he's way down south. Yeah, way down south.

00:12:44.940 --> 00:12:46.899
Oh, he's like way, way down. In fact, you zoom

00:12:46.899 --> 00:12:48.659
in really close, you find the naval base down

00:12:48.659 --> 00:12:51.779
there. That little, right there is the naval

00:12:51.779 --> 00:12:53.940
base. Coronado is where he's at. Yeah, it's exactly

00:12:53.940 --> 00:12:56.820
where he's at. So his little condo he's got out

00:12:56.820 --> 00:12:59.220
there is actually right there on the north side

00:12:59.220 --> 00:13:01.919
of that island. You have a... That's a beautiful

00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:03.820
place, too. They have an aircraft carrier right

00:13:03.820 --> 00:13:08.740
there. When I went out to take care of my dad's

00:13:08.740 --> 00:13:11.500
house, Yeah, there it is right there. Wow, look

00:13:11.500 --> 00:13:14.440
at that. We went there. Is it like a museum,

00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:16.419
you mean? Yeah, you could tour it. And we were

00:13:16.419 --> 00:13:18.080
there too late in the afternoon for us to do

00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.299
it. We didn't have time to do it. Yeah, to tour

00:13:20.299 --> 00:13:21.700
something like that, you need like two, three,

00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:24.759
four hours, man. Yeah. It's a floating city.

00:13:24.899 --> 00:13:27.100
It's massive. It is. It's incredible. Yeah, we

00:13:27.100 --> 00:13:29.799
were down there right on the wharf. We had dinner

00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:32.139
right there overlooking that bay. Like a hamburger?

00:13:32.580 --> 00:13:36.559
Actually, it was a burger. It was on the shore

00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:39.549
there. I went fishing there. Oh. In San Diego?

00:13:39.669 --> 00:13:41.870
Yeah. For fish? Yeah. Right there next to the

00:13:41.870 --> 00:13:44.490
carrier? Yeah. Yeah. If you get too close to

00:13:44.490 --> 00:13:46.649
it, they go, warning, stay away from the carrier.

00:13:46.889 --> 00:13:48.370
Was that a person or a reporter? Are you being

00:13:48.370 --> 00:13:50.470
serious? They will warn you to stay the fuck

00:13:50.470 --> 00:13:51.909
away from their shit. And you got too close to

00:13:51.909 --> 00:13:53.830
the carrier? We didn't. We just heard the warnings.

00:13:54.149 --> 00:13:55.789
Really? From other people. From other people,

00:13:55.929 --> 00:13:58.669
yeah. No, no, we're not. I'm assuming immigrants

00:13:58.669 --> 00:14:01.210
that were fishing too close to the - Did like

00:14:01.210 --> 00:14:04.629
a super stealth secret sub go floating by and

00:14:04.629 --> 00:14:07.100
they told everybody to - to not take pictures

00:14:07.100 --> 00:14:09.200
and not look at it. No, that wasn't in Florida,

00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:11.220
though. I did see a sub in Florida. That was

00:14:11.220 --> 00:14:13.360
Pearl Harbor. Yeah, that was Pearl Harbor. That

00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:17.120
was Jeff's story. It's kind of cool. I didn't

00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:18.279
take a picture of it, though, because I would

00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:19.799
have been shot. If you look at it, it will kill

00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:22.440
you. I am looking forward to it, because we do

00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:25.100
have an excursion in the middle of June. Yes.

00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:26.919
The Dudes Like Us podcast, guys, will be out

00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:29.120
in California. So if you're hearing this podcast

00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:33.039
tonight and you are remotely anywhere near the

00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.960
north side of... San Francisco. We're going to

00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:40.399
be up in Sebastopol, Santa Rosa area. Somewhere

00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:42.139
around there. We'd love to have drinks with you.

00:14:42.179 --> 00:14:43.639
We're going to be there Thursday night, Friday

00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.379
night. Saturday night. That would be fun. Saturday

00:14:46.379 --> 00:14:49.419
night, we're doing other stuff. And then I think

00:14:49.419 --> 00:14:50.960
Monday. Are we leaving Monday morning or Monday

00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:53.899
night? Monday night. It's like 5 o 'clock. Yeah,

00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:56.700
we leave at noon on Monday, I think. Are you

00:14:56.700 --> 00:14:58.740
guys on the same return flight as I gave you

00:14:58.740 --> 00:15:00.279
guys? I guess so. I don't know. All right, so

00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:02.500
I'll take it from you. I don't even know when

00:15:02.500 --> 00:15:03.860
we're going back. You're going to take it from

00:15:03.860 --> 00:15:06.559
me, huh? That's what I like to hear. No. It's

00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:08.460
not going to be that kind of trip. Oh. Lube.

00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:12.240
Lube. What the hell is wrong with you guys? Again.

00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:15.759
But I am looking forward to it because the last

00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:17.360
time we went out to California, we went to Lake

00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:20.299
Tahoe. Go visit your pops. And Lake Tahoe was

00:15:20.299 --> 00:15:22.559
beautiful. Look, California is beautiful. It

00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:24.159
brings me back to the same point again. What

00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:26.360
the fuck is going on? It's such a beautiful state.

00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:29.299
Come on. Get your shit together. Yeah. But you

00:15:29.299 --> 00:15:31.759
know what? There is a massive contingency in

00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:34.909
California that they're rural. You know, they're

00:15:34.909 --> 00:15:38.009
just like you and us. I mean, you and me, they're

00:15:38.009 --> 00:15:40.690
like dudes like us. They're like, they're farmers

00:15:40.690 --> 00:15:43.830
and they're down to earth people. But they're

00:15:43.830 --> 00:15:47.210
stuck to the same rules that the coast has. They're

00:15:47.210 --> 00:15:50.809
stuck. The super majority is not listening to

00:15:50.809 --> 00:15:53.070
anything they have to say. You know, I did hear

00:15:53.070 --> 00:15:57.409
that the governor's race currently, is it Steve

00:15:57.409 --> 00:16:01.019
Hilton? Yes. Is in the lead. Dude, Gavin Newsom

00:16:01.019 --> 00:16:02.700
is not helping himself. Did you hear what he

00:16:02.700 --> 00:16:05.519
said on one of his book tour? About him being

00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:08.320
a stupid dyslexic? Yeah, he's like, oh, I'm stupid

00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:11.059
like you. Yes. Basically is what he said. Yes,

00:16:11.059 --> 00:16:14.139
he did. Oh, so I'm stupid. Yeah, he was talking

00:16:14.139 --> 00:16:17.759
to an African -American journalist. No, it was

00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:20.220
a black guy. Whatever. Could have been from Jamaica.

00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:23.000
Hold on. African -American or Jamaican -American?

00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.019
Why? Why say African -American? Do we not say

00:16:26.019 --> 00:16:29.539
that anymore? I say black person. I'd say journalist.

00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:33.600
Sure. He was a journalist who was not white.

00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:35.980
Okay, whatever. Anyway, so he's sitting there

00:16:35.980 --> 00:16:37.580
talking to him. Thanks for trying to make me

00:16:37.580 --> 00:16:39.440
uncomfortable. It didn't work. Anyway, he was

00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:41.620
like, you know, hey, I'm just like you. Fucking

00:16:41.620 --> 00:16:44.240
racist. This is awful. He goes, I'm just like

00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:47.600
you. I got like a 960 on my SAT, and I sucked

00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:49.940
at school. And I can't read. And I can't read.

00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:54.340
Are you listening to this? He's like, I'm stupid.

00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:59.080
I'm technological. intellectually challenged

00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:01.960
and I'm a shitty student just like you. And I'm

00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:04.859
sure the journalist is like, bro, I got a 1340

00:17:04.859 --> 00:17:07.660
on my SAT, motherfucker. Yeah. Why are you looking

00:17:07.660 --> 00:17:10.160
at me thinking I'm, you know, are you making

00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:12.339
some assumptions here, bro? I also heard that

00:17:12.339 --> 00:17:16.380
someone, some news outlet reached out to his

00:17:16.380 --> 00:17:20.079
team asking for the proof that he's dyslexic.

00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:23.660
Yeah. And their response was, fuck you. Yeah.

00:17:24.099 --> 00:17:28.140
I mean, what the hell? We live in a world where

00:17:28.140 --> 00:17:32.039
we can just throw that shit around in every official

00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:34.859
capacity. I mean, hell, the damn Tlaib was wearing

00:17:34.859 --> 00:17:38.680
fuck ice pin on her shirt at the State of the

00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:41.240
Union address, and she is a congressperson. Yep.

00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:44.119
Are you kidding me? I wonder how the FCC is going

00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:46.980
to handle that. I don't know. Because that was

00:17:46.980 --> 00:17:50.059
on regular broadcast. Yes. It literally said

00:17:50.059 --> 00:17:54.380
fuck ice on her button. How is that okay? Is

00:17:54.380 --> 00:17:55.900
she going to get called out for that by the FCC?

00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:01.220
I don't know. Why? Bad Bunny didn't. No. And

00:18:01.220 --> 00:18:05.579
he said all kinds of things. And he said... Well,

00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:08.319
evidently, somebody said that... Thank you. He

00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:11.680
didn't say anything wrong. I am not... I don't

00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:14.579
speak Spanish, okay? But I recognize a lot of

00:18:14.579 --> 00:18:16.740
Spanish words. Because they call you stuff all

00:18:16.740 --> 00:18:18.599
the time? Well, dude, I'm a bartender. Dude,

00:18:18.660 --> 00:18:21.619
I was like... All the time. My name is Sean Cruz.

00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:25.759
Ah, shut up, pendejo. Pendejo. But he said a

00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:28.180
lot of... He did say some stuff. Oh, he mumbled

00:18:28.180 --> 00:18:30.619
it. Okay. Well, listen, they're trying not to

00:18:30.619 --> 00:18:32.380
create a scandal out of it because, you know,

00:18:32.420 --> 00:18:35.680
they are on board with... Anyway. The FCC was?

00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:38.680
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I didn't

00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:40.799
watch the damn thing, and I don't speak Spanish.

00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:43.720
Isn't Colin Powell's son the head of the FCC?

00:18:44.220 --> 00:18:47.299
Not anymore. Don't believe. I don't know, but

00:18:47.299 --> 00:18:49.759
I thought he was. I have no idea. I never heard

00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:51.579
him quitting. I think he's still part of it.

00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:54.559
Colin Powell Jr.? I'm not saying that he was

00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:56.799
instrumental in that, but... Colin Powell is

00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:58.420
kind of a nefarious little piece of poo -poo.

00:18:58.460 --> 00:19:04.940
It's Brendan Carr. Oh, so close. Yeah. So the

00:19:04.940 --> 00:19:07.160
FCC did a study. They looked at it. They listened

00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.400
to it. They translated it. And apparently to

00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:12.259
them, they didn't see any violations. Right.

00:19:12.539 --> 00:19:15.079
No violations of our rules and no justifications

00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:18.279
for harassing. Was that based on English? No,

00:19:18.339 --> 00:19:22.220
Spanish. There were no English curse words? Well,

00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:23.980
I mean. I do got to say this. You would think

00:19:23.980 --> 00:19:27.740
that, but you know. I do got to say this. I listen

00:19:27.740 --> 00:19:29.400
to the radio in San Antonio, the rock station

00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:31.259
there, and they would say Spanish curse words

00:19:31.259 --> 00:19:34.359
all the time. Right. And nobody cared. Because

00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:36.299
nobody knew what they were saying. Well, San

00:19:36.299 --> 00:19:39.180
Antonio is majority Hispanic, right? Oh, so they

00:19:39.180 --> 00:19:40.160
knew what they were saying. They knew exactly

00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:44.000
what they were saying. Ah. And they would say

00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:47.480
whatever in Spanish, and nobody cared. And it's

00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:50.680
almost like... Nobody cares is the issue, right?

00:19:50.779 --> 00:19:52.740
And then that's consistent with the FCC ruling

00:19:52.740 --> 00:19:54.400
here. I think that's what we're getting into.

00:19:54.500 --> 00:19:57.720
Nobody cares even if he did. Right. Because it

00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:59.720
wasn't in English. It wasn't in English. Well,

00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:01.799
I think there also needs to be. It wasn't on

00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:03.799
the seven banned words that George Carlin, you

00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.079
know. Well, I think all languages need to have

00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:10.640
the same standards. Should be. Right? Just because

00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:13.180
I may not necessarily know what it is. There's

00:20:13.180 --> 00:20:16.099
a lot of people that do. You hear, and you're

00:20:16.099 --> 00:20:18.880
like, ooh, that didn't sound good. I don't know

00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:21.900
what that was, but that offended me somehow.

00:20:22.299 --> 00:20:27.039
Sloppy Joe. Sloppy Joe. What if an English word

00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:31.619
sounds like a French curse word? In France? Yeah,

00:20:31.619 --> 00:20:36.490
in France. Oh, they'd be like. You know, I think

00:20:36.490 --> 00:20:38.269
we're a little bit... I don't know. I think we're

00:20:38.269 --> 00:20:40.450
a little bit... I don't know any French bad words.

00:20:40.589 --> 00:20:42.769
We're a little bit Puritan as far as the rest

00:20:42.769 --> 00:20:45.369
of the world goes. As far as bad words go, right?

00:20:45.569 --> 00:20:47.849
Well, they show boobies. Yeah, boobies in Germany

00:20:47.849 --> 00:20:49.849
or whatever, or French TV. They're a little bit

00:20:49.849 --> 00:20:51.170
different. Yeah, they live in Germany. They're

00:20:51.170 --> 00:20:53.309
different boobies? Dippage. Do you say boobies?

00:20:53.490 --> 00:20:56.390
Yeah. Yeah, boobs. Like the commercials in Germany

00:20:56.390 --> 00:20:58.430
growing up for me, they had like a zest commercial

00:20:58.430 --> 00:21:01.190
and they have a woman with a little... towel

00:21:01.190 --> 00:21:03.390
on oh she was surprised and all of a sudden she

00:21:03.390 --> 00:21:05.089
dropped her towel and grabbed the bar of zest

00:21:05.089 --> 00:21:06.470
and we're like oh yeah like we're gonna go to

00:21:06.470 --> 00:21:09.430
the bar of soap check out those knockers are

00:21:09.430 --> 00:21:13.549
you kidding fully fully oh yeah i mean so her

00:21:13.549 --> 00:21:15.809
boobies you didn't see down below right because

00:21:15.809 --> 00:21:18.890
back then it would have been a bush wow okay

00:21:18.890 --> 00:21:23.160
anyway so my first job My first job, I had to

00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:25.380
take training in - Deep thoughts about Jeff.

00:21:26.019 --> 00:21:30.920
It was full bush. Anyway, so my first job, I

00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:32.460
had to take training in Toronto. What are you

00:21:32.460 --> 00:21:34.619
saying? They don't have bush anymore? Not like

00:21:34.619 --> 00:21:37.819
back in the late 70s. What do you mean? What

00:21:37.819 --> 00:21:41.380
are you driving at? Based on what? Nowadays,

00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:45.259
they're well -groomed. Yes. Who? The women. Women

00:21:45.259 --> 00:21:48.029
in general. So women in general are now well

00:21:48.029 --> 00:21:49.650
grown. Are you playing dumb? You're playing dumb.

00:21:49.730 --> 00:21:51.269
No, I'm playing devil's advocate. I'm trying

00:21:51.269 --> 00:21:52.430
to figure out where you're coming from. There

00:21:52.430 --> 00:21:55.029
is no devil's advocate. They had huge bushes

00:21:55.029 --> 00:21:57.670
in the 70s and now they don't. Yeah. Now women

00:21:57.670 --> 00:21:59.470
are taking care of themselves nowadays. Correct.

00:21:59.470 --> 00:22:02.339
What's your argument against that? There are

00:22:02.339 --> 00:22:04.740
two sides of the argument. No, there is no argument.

00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:08.180
Not and yes. There's too much hair. I can't see

00:22:08.180 --> 00:22:10.839
anything. Oh, God bless. It's in my eye. It's

00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:12.799
in my eye. All right. All right. Anyway, can

00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:15.579
I tell my story? I'm trying to tell a story here.

00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.380
Okay. So my first job, I got sent to Toronto

00:22:18.380 --> 00:22:20.519
for training, and it was like freaking middle

00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:25.839
of winter. And I was watching TV. And it wasn't

00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:28.119
a commercial, but I was just watching a regular.

00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:30.700
I'm flipping through this. Was it pay -per -view?

00:22:30.900 --> 00:22:35.140
No, it wasn't. It was regular TV. And I was like,

00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:37.579
there was nudity. And I was like, what the hell?

00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:40.079
This is going to show up on my hotel bill. Yeah.

00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:43.619
I have another story about that, too. Oh. So

00:22:43.619 --> 00:22:46.779
I was shocked that there was nudity. Anyway,

00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:48.740
and it might have been the same damn trip. I

00:22:48.740 --> 00:22:50.900
don't know. Was it Skinamax? I get back. I get

00:22:50.900 --> 00:22:58.000
back. And I get back. And I get my. My glass

00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:00.940
is full. Yes. I wonder why. Very full. Ridiculous.

00:23:01.099 --> 00:23:03.799
Show the camera how full it is. Will you? Mm

00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:06.599
-hmm. Anyway, so I get back, and I get my expense

00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:09.720
report, and there's, like, this charge for $25

00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:14.019
for, like, La Erotica or something like that.

00:23:14.259 --> 00:23:17.160
And I'm like, oh, my God. They charged me for

00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:21.700
smut porn. Right. And I was getting all... That

00:23:21.700 --> 00:23:23.819
wasn't me. Yeah, I was going to get... I don't

00:23:23.819 --> 00:23:26.180
look at that stuff. That's right. Right? And

00:23:26.180 --> 00:23:28.059
I was like, I'm getting worried because I'm thinking

00:23:28.059 --> 00:23:30.880
my boss is going to see that or the AP auditors

00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:32.359
are going to see it. And I'm like, oh, my God,

00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:34.140
what is this? And I got all upset. And I tried

00:23:34.140 --> 00:23:35.660
to call stuff. It was a milkshake. Look at this

00:23:35.660 --> 00:23:37.900
stuff. It's the name of the restaurant where

00:23:37.900 --> 00:23:41.279
I had breakfast. La Erotica? Something like that.

00:23:42.259 --> 00:23:45.579
La Erotica. Something like that. When I looked

00:23:45.579 --> 00:23:49.500
at it, I panicked. It was like La Bouche or something

00:23:49.500 --> 00:23:54.099
like that. No, seriously. Anyway, it was pretty

00:23:54.099 --> 00:23:56.740
funny. As soon as I saw it was the restaurant,

00:23:56.920 --> 00:23:58.559
I'm like, okay, I can prove that it was the restaurant.

00:23:58.559 --> 00:24:00.559
So you ordered the porn in the restaurant. Yeah,

00:24:00.619 --> 00:24:02.539
American. Oh, there's three and a half inches.

00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:07.089
American special. Porn cakes. All right, you've

00:24:07.089 --> 00:24:08.970
got to move on somehow. There's got to be something

00:24:08.970 --> 00:24:11.349
else to talk about besides porn and boobies.

00:24:11.349 --> 00:24:14.369
No, but still, the experience of going in there

00:24:14.369 --> 00:24:17.910
and submitting that receipt and having to deal

00:24:17.910 --> 00:24:20.650
with it, there was no pushback by your... Well,

00:24:20.690 --> 00:24:23.450
imagine if the AP team was like, I'm sorry, Paul,

00:24:23.829 --> 00:24:27.170
the company won't reimburse you for porn that

00:24:27.170 --> 00:24:29.170
you watch in your hotel room. And I'm like, oh

00:24:29.170 --> 00:24:30.910
my God, it was your party. It was the restaurant,

00:24:31.069 --> 00:24:32.869
I swear to God. I mean, they never gave me any

00:24:32.869 --> 00:24:35.150
grief at all. What is this? Can you imagine?

00:24:35.740 --> 00:24:38.059
And I was a brand new employee, like right out

00:24:38.059 --> 00:24:40.400
of college. Right out of college, and I was terrified

00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:41.980
that they thought I was looking at porn on their

00:24:41.980 --> 00:24:45.240
dime. Paul, what is this Emmanuel on your hotel

00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:47.059
bill? Right. Oh, that's the restaurant we went

00:24:47.059 --> 00:24:49.960
to. Right. And I went to a pizza joint called

00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:52.220
Epstein. Why is it on there five times? Yeah.

00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:57.799
And why is it by the hour? Right? Why is it $15

00:24:57.799 --> 00:25:00.420
.99 every single time? Yeah, I was panicked.

00:25:00.420 --> 00:25:02.890
Or a cheese pizza from Epstein Island. Yeah.

00:25:02.910 --> 00:25:05.289
Oh, no. Yeah, I was panicked, but, you know.

00:25:05.390 --> 00:25:07.849
And cold jerky. Did you guys have to, I mean,

00:25:07.890 --> 00:25:09.970
right out of college, did you guys have to, did

00:25:09.970 --> 00:25:11.829
you ever travel for your job much? I traveled

00:25:11.829 --> 00:25:14.930
a lot. Really? Yes. I went down to South America.

00:25:15.069 --> 00:25:17.190
Did you have any experiences that were like?

00:25:17.210 --> 00:25:21.430
No, no porn. That's not what I meant. Oh. In

00:25:21.430 --> 00:25:25.450
general, were there any dramatic, like, you know?

00:25:25.450 --> 00:25:27.470
No, I didn't have any crazy. No crazy stories.

00:25:27.470 --> 00:25:29.349
No crazy stories. It was just a business trip.

00:25:29.369 --> 00:25:31.069
You know, you go there and you. Do your shit.

00:25:31.089 --> 00:25:32.970
And you were meeting your team in Mexico? Is

00:25:32.970 --> 00:25:34.430
that what you're talking about? They weren't

00:25:34.430 --> 00:25:36.849
assassinating cartel leaders at the time? No.

00:25:36.869 --> 00:25:39.670
Well, I did have some. Right, in Mexico. Going

00:25:39.670 --> 00:25:41.569
down to Mexico City, there are some interesting

00:25:41.569 --> 00:25:44.029
times because my body reacts differently down

00:25:44.029 --> 00:25:47.740
there. To food? To poop a lot? To the sun? No,

00:25:47.779 --> 00:25:49.819
it's... To get a fierce tan? Well, it's... Well,

00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:51.720
yeah, because it's... Jeff doesn't get tanned.

00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:54.119
It's at 7 ,300 feet, is Mexico City. Oh, right,

00:25:54.220 --> 00:25:55.839
right, right. So it's high altitude, and my body

00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:58.779
doesn't do well. No. But my gut... It does not.

00:25:58.859 --> 00:26:00.740
We know that firsthand. Well, it didn't affect

00:26:00.740 --> 00:26:03.059
the brain, but it affected my gut every time

00:26:03.059 --> 00:26:05.240
I went down there. Did it poop a lot? And the

00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:07.779
food, no. Montezuma. Oh, farting. Lots of gas.

00:26:07.900 --> 00:26:12.480
Just bloat. And I learned... Was it stinky? It

00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:14.160
never farted. It was just a bloat. Very uncomfortable.

00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:17.519
Oh, you just became bloated. Yes. And I learned.

00:26:17.619 --> 00:26:19.839
Painful. It was very painful. And I felt like

00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:21.359
shit for like the whole week I'm down there.

00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:23.359
But I learned. I was like, all right, I'm taking

00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:26.859
Gas -X. Okay. But then I was like, I'm not eating

00:26:26.859 --> 00:26:29.259
very much when I go down there. Because I was

00:26:29.259 --> 00:26:31.579
getting these big, you know, traditional Mexican

00:26:31.579 --> 00:26:34.509
meals, right? They cook them differently. They

00:26:34.509 --> 00:26:36.329
have different spices or whatever, right? Oh,

00:26:36.329 --> 00:26:39.230
so you ate less on future trips. Correct. I was

00:26:39.230 --> 00:26:41.230
like, all right, I can't eat like that anymore.

00:26:41.650 --> 00:26:43.490
After, I think, the second time I went down there,

00:26:43.509 --> 00:26:45.069
I was like, all right, I can't do this anymore.

00:26:45.470 --> 00:26:48.170
What if you were able to take some of that oxygen

00:26:48.170 --> 00:26:50.630
tanks down there with you? Your body could have

00:26:50.630 --> 00:26:53.150
worked it out better. I don't know. Like I said,

00:26:53.170 --> 00:26:56.289
it wasn't the altitude sickness that I got. It

00:26:56.289 --> 00:26:59.670
was my gut health was the problem. Because you

00:26:59.670 --> 00:27:01.630
think about the United States and all the...

00:27:04.020 --> 00:27:07.339
The types of oils they use to cook the food versus

00:27:07.339 --> 00:27:10.599
there in Mexico. It's actually healthier down

00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:13.519
there. That's my point. Is that maybe your body

00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:15.819
wasn't used to that, right? I mean, maybe. Maybe

00:27:15.819 --> 00:27:18.619
that was part of it. Your polluted, toxic body

00:27:18.619 --> 00:27:21.000
just couldn't handle healthy food. Your body

00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:23.519
was like, hey, man, you had American diet rot.

00:27:24.140 --> 00:27:26.339
It could be. That rot was like, fuck you, dude.

00:27:26.380 --> 00:27:28.319
You're not getting in here. This is my man. Oh,

00:27:28.339 --> 00:27:30.420
my God. This is healthy avocado oil. Fuck that.

00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:34.859
I don't think it was avocado. No. Avocado oil

00:27:34.859 --> 00:27:37.480
is healthy. Avocados from Mexico. So how long

00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:39.460
did the bloating last? Avocado oil is healthy,

00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:43.339
right? Until I got home. Dang. Yeah, it was miserable.

00:27:43.740 --> 00:27:46.559
So I wonder if that was related to the elevation.

00:27:46.920 --> 00:27:49.339
No. I think it's the elevation and the food.

00:27:49.339 --> 00:27:52.200
Because you ate less. Well, I could control it

00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:54.579
after I learned I'm not eating. And you were

00:27:54.579 --> 00:27:56.220
better after that? Oh, yeah. I would get better

00:27:56.220 --> 00:27:57.880
after that. So it was the food. He's saying he's

00:27:57.880 --> 00:28:00.859
just going on future trips. Nothing about the

00:28:00.859 --> 00:28:03.980
water? I drank bottled water. Of course. You

00:28:03.980 --> 00:28:06.220
don't drink tap water down there. Where did you

00:28:06.220 --> 00:28:08.259
get your bottled water? I went down to the 7

00:28:08.259 --> 00:28:10.099
-Eleven. From the ditch. There you go. That's

00:28:10.099 --> 00:28:11.839
some dude that's in the backyard. He's pouring

00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:15.240
fucking tap water to a 7 -Eleven. No. No. No.

00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:18.779
I mean, I'm just saying. You never know. There

00:28:18.779 --> 00:28:21.400
are a lot of people that will go to a foreign

00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:25.390
company. Country. And they'll be like, well,

00:28:25.390 --> 00:28:27.670
I'm not supposed to drink the water here. I'm

00:28:27.670 --> 00:28:32.170
going to have a Coca -Cola or a cola, whatever,

00:28:32.369 --> 00:28:37.009
or I'll have a water. God bless me. What I'm

00:28:37.009 --> 00:28:39.450
trying to say is that they'll order a cold drink,

00:28:39.509 --> 00:28:44.289
and it'll be in a bottle, and they'll have an

00:28:44.289 --> 00:28:47.670
ice, and the rice is procured through the tap

00:28:47.670 --> 00:28:49.809
system. So they're still poisoned by the same

00:28:49.809 --> 00:28:52.259
thing, and they make that mistake. Frequently.

00:28:52.420 --> 00:28:58.660
I would get sodas, no ice. Really? Yeah, 100%.

00:28:58.660 --> 00:29:00.319
You don't get salads either because they wash

00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:04.160
the vegetables and lettuce in the water. That's

00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:06.259
what the locals told me. Don't get the salads

00:29:06.259 --> 00:29:07.920
unless you're used to it down here. Dude, that's

00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:11.980
so crazy. And these are like pretty high -end

00:29:11.980 --> 00:29:14.180
restaurants that you're eating at comparatively.

00:29:14.420 --> 00:29:16.559
Correct. And they don't, I mean, I'm sure they

00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:19.440
do clean their shit in filtered water. I'm sure

00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:21.539
they do. You never know. But you never know.

00:29:21.579 --> 00:29:22.779
Don't take that chance. That's the point. The

00:29:22.779 --> 00:29:24.740
ones that live there, they said, don't get a

00:29:24.740 --> 00:29:28.119
salad. Don't get the ice. You know, just drink

00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:30.759
your. Don't eat. Don't drink. Yeah. It's just,

00:29:30.859 --> 00:29:34.059
you know. It's a one -week fast. It is. That's

00:29:34.059 --> 00:29:36.380
why you're like, dude, I'm drinking IPA. That's

00:29:36.380 --> 00:29:40.559
it. IPA. I have coffee in the morning. IPA. They

00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:42.359
did say, because we'd go down there and get.

00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:45.509
What the heck is that? This is the raid on the...

00:29:45.509 --> 00:29:48.470
The chaos in Mexico. El Chocombo. Yeah, but look

00:29:48.470 --> 00:29:50.829
at that vehicle. This isn't the raid. This is

00:29:50.829 --> 00:29:53.710
the cartel. Are you kidding me? These are cartel

00:29:53.710 --> 00:29:56.650
people. That's ridiculous. That was like an extended...

00:29:56.650 --> 00:29:59.609
APC, yeah. Like a transit. Yeah, this is the

00:29:59.609 --> 00:30:02.109
problem. This is the problem that the Mexican

00:30:02.109 --> 00:30:04.069
military is dealing with. They're dealing with...

00:30:04.069 --> 00:30:06.410
They're outgunned. They're literally outgunned,

00:30:06.410 --> 00:30:08.549
out -armored, out... You know, they're probably

00:30:08.549 --> 00:30:12.609
not out -trained, but... And they're corrupt.

00:30:12.990 --> 00:30:18.349
Okay, so hold on. So they killed El Mencho in

00:30:18.349 --> 00:30:23.710
Puerto Vallarta. And when they did that, they

00:30:23.710 --> 00:30:29.009
got intel from the U .S. intelligence that he

00:30:29.009 --> 00:30:31.230
was going to go to a cabin with his girlfriend.

00:30:31.490 --> 00:30:35.549
Yes, correct. And so they followed him to the

00:30:35.549 --> 00:30:39.230
cabin and tried to arrest him. And he fought

00:30:39.230 --> 00:30:41.569
back. And he fought back. And his people fought

00:30:41.569 --> 00:30:43.930
back. And he was shot. And they tried to rush

00:30:43.930 --> 00:30:45.710
him to the hospital to save him. And he died.

00:30:46.230 --> 00:30:51.509
And then his cartel went nuts. Started burning

00:30:51.509 --> 00:30:55.069
shit, blowing up. Blew up the Costco. Costco?

00:30:55.210 --> 00:30:57.009
They did blow up the Costco. Okay, that's not

00:30:57.009 --> 00:30:59.049
cool. Yeah, well, they blew up a bunch of stuff.

00:30:59.329 --> 00:31:03.009
Yeah, they burned cars. They fucked with... Look,

00:31:03.130 --> 00:31:05.450
but the thing they didn't fuck with was American

00:31:05.450 --> 00:31:09.819
citizens. That's a good thing. Because I believe

00:31:09.819 --> 00:31:12.740
that if they were to do something to the American

00:31:12.740 --> 00:31:15.799
citizens down there, our current administration

00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:18.799
is zero tolerance. Trump is itching for them

00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:21.240
to make a mistake. It was just last weekend,

00:31:21.339 --> 00:31:23.900
you know. What? Have they calmed down? Have they

00:31:23.900 --> 00:31:25.539
stopped doing their... I haven't heard anything

00:31:25.539 --> 00:31:27.519
because the news cycle moved on, right? Yeah,

00:31:27.539 --> 00:31:29.319
the Mexican military went in and quelled it.

00:31:29.579 --> 00:31:32.009
That's what I heard. Okay. They put it down,

00:31:32.049 --> 00:31:35.970
and they removed over 250 roadblocks. Here's

00:31:35.970 --> 00:31:39.069
the thing about Mexico. Mexico is not the Middle

00:31:39.069 --> 00:31:42.650
East. Damn close. Let's start there. But it's

00:31:42.650 --> 00:31:46.230
not. There's an element that we're missing. But

00:31:46.230 --> 00:31:51.210
what they do have is a lot of corrupt things

00:31:51.210 --> 00:31:53.849
going on. Everyone's corrupt. So all they have

00:31:53.849 --> 00:31:57.170
to do is really control that corruption that's

00:31:57.170 --> 00:32:00.579
going on. Because Mexico's beautiful. I mean,

00:32:00.579 --> 00:32:03.460
the people there should be flourishing, like

00:32:03.460 --> 00:32:06.380
Venezuela was. They really should be flourishing.

00:32:06.460 --> 00:32:09.119
It's a beautiful place. It has tons of natural

00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:12.819
resources. Tons and tons. It's mismanaged. It

00:32:12.819 --> 00:32:15.500
is mismanaged, and to a point where you're kind

00:32:15.500 --> 00:32:18.380
of like, all right, well. sometimes you kind

00:32:18.380 --> 00:32:20.200
of get worried. Yeah, but when is that shit going

00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:22.039
to change? All of the South American countries

00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:23.880
are basically mismanaged. That's my point. Like,

00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:26.839
what is the deal? The question is, when is this

00:32:26.839 --> 00:32:29.299
shit going to change? It's going to change now.

00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:33.460
We just went into Venezuela and took out the

00:32:33.460 --> 00:32:36.240
head of Venezuela. And now they're turning a

00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:37.900
corner and things are starting to change over

00:32:37.900 --> 00:32:41.599
there. Mexico saw this. And, you know, we're

00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:43.960
talking to Mexico and we're like, hey, man, you

00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:46.400
know, you need to, what's happening. Clean your

00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:49.200
shit up. That was the first conversation, but

00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:52.740
this one was like, hey, man, we have a clue right

00:32:52.740 --> 00:32:56.049
now we're giving you to take out this guy. You

00:32:56.049 --> 00:32:58.109
need to take them out. Well, we don't want to

00:32:58.109 --> 00:32:59.269
take them out because it's going to cause a lot

00:32:59.269 --> 00:33:01.650
of issues. Dude, you need to fucking take them

00:33:01.650 --> 00:33:03.410
out because the alternative is that we're going

00:33:03.410 --> 00:33:04.950
to fucking take them out. If we take them out,

00:33:04.990 --> 00:33:07.069
there's going to be a lot less shit going on.

00:33:07.269 --> 00:33:09.289
You take them out and it's only going to provide

00:33:09.289 --> 00:33:12.230
support to you. This is pushback from the Mexican

00:33:12.230 --> 00:33:15.250
folks, the cartel, and that's only going to last

00:33:15.250 --> 00:33:17.509
for so long because there's going to come a point

00:33:17.509 --> 00:33:22.490
where they don't have this shit anymore. The

00:33:22.490 --> 00:33:24.049
things on the screen that we're currently seeing,

00:33:24.170 --> 00:33:27.069
all those cars, The armored... What the fuck

00:33:27.069 --> 00:33:28.549
are those? I don't even think they're armored.

00:33:28.670 --> 00:33:30.670
I don't even know. I mean, they've got armored

00:33:30.670 --> 00:33:32.210
stuff because they've got these... There are

00:33:32.210 --> 00:33:35.069
portals. Yeah, who is creating... There are gun

00:33:35.069 --> 00:33:38.569
portals in the back. See the back? Oh, but those

00:33:38.569 --> 00:33:40.910
could be just windows. Yeah. They look like there's

00:33:40.910 --> 00:33:43.369
gun portals. Yeah, but they're making them fancier

00:33:43.369 --> 00:33:44.769
than they are. Well, they got fancy paint jobs,

00:33:44.990 --> 00:33:47.509
and they got, like... I don't... I don't know.

00:33:48.589 --> 00:33:50.980
The... The point is... They look ridiculous,

00:33:51.099 --> 00:33:53.000
actually. ...is that they need to get control

00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:56.059
over their stuff because it's going to help the

00:33:56.059 --> 00:33:59.400
United States. It's symbiotic to help them get

00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:03.000
their shit under control, to help us... to eliminate

00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:08.139
the cesspool of immigration that's coming in

00:34:08.139 --> 00:34:10.219
here. They're immigrating to the United States

00:34:10.219 --> 00:34:13.300
because of this stuff. So if we can control what

00:34:13.300 --> 00:34:15.300
the hell's going on there, they will fucking

00:34:15.300 --> 00:34:17.699
go back home. Because I tell you what, all the

00:34:17.699 --> 00:34:20.000
immigration, most of the immigration, at least

00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:22.079
the guys that I know, and I do know some guys

00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:24.039
that are here that have been here for decades,

00:34:24.340 --> 00:34:27.719
they earned their money here in the United States

00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:29.199
doing whatever the fuck they're doing. Plumbing,

00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:32.820
masonry work. Construction. All the trades. All

00:34:32.820 --> 00:34:35.559
of them. They send their money back to Mexico

00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:39.360
to build their home for their family. Yeah. Okay.

00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:42.119
That's the reason why they're here. They go home

00:34:42.119 --> 00:34:43.920
three or four times a year and they're there

00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:47.199
for two to four weeks every time they go. They're

00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:49.119
there for a lot. Yeah. They're not nefarious

00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:51.139
people. They're trades people. And yes, they're

00:34:51.139 --> 00:34:53.260
taking advantage of the opportunities here and

00:34:53.260 --> 00:34:55.170
sending money home. If they could take these

00:34:55.170 --> 00:34:58.469
opportunities and perform them in their own country.

00:34:58.730 --> 00:35:01.989
Then that would be ideal. It would be so ideal.

00:35:02.230 --> 00:35:04.250
And then we wouldn't have to, and I say worry

00:35:04.250 --> 00:35:06.409
because I'm not worried. But at the same time,

00:35:06.469 --> 00:35:08.750
dude, look, if you got someone here that doesn't

00:35:08.750 --> 00:35:10.769
check in at the front door, just like you're

00:35:10.769 --> 00:35:12.269
not going to let anybody walk in your house.

00:35:12.769 --> 00:35:15.650
Right. You know, why do you have locks in your

00:35:15.650 --> 00:35:18.210
front door? To keep people out. Right. You know,

00:35:18.230 --> 00:35:19.429
if you have somebody walking in the front door,

00:35:19.489 --> 00:35:21.190
you need to vet them and make sure that they're

00:35:21.190 --> 00:35:23.489
safe for your family. So is this a new trend,

00:35:23.650 --> 00:35:25.710
right, where the U .S. is going to start providing,

00:35:25.730 --> 00:35:27.329
you know, intel and they're going to go after

00:35:27.329 --> 00:35:30.550
another cartel leader and then another one? I

00:35:30.550 --> 00:35:32.510
don't know. There's a lot of them. This is a

00:35:32.510 --> 00:35:34.869
new thing. This is a new thing. Well, the guy

00:35:34.869 --> 00:35:37.130
who replaced El Mencho is his son, who's actually

00:35:37.130 --> 00:35:39.469
a U .S. citizen. Wonderful. Yeah, that's right.

00:35:39.829 --> 00:35:42.449
Wonderful. Yeah, he lives in San Diego, I think.

00:35:43.329 --> 00:35:45.239
Orange County or something like that. But you

00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:47.579
see where I'm going with this. So is this going

00:35:47.579 --> 00:35:50.639
to be, I've wondered, I've wondered if Trump

00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:52.719
is going to, you know, because he wants to turn

00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:55.639
up the heat, right, against these cartels, and

00:35:55.639 --> 00:35:57.199
he wants to put an end to it. So how does he

00:35:57.199 --> 00:36:00.639
take care of the new leader of this cartel? He's

00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:04.300
a U .S. citizen. An accidental gas explosion.

00:36:04.300 --> 00:36:06.739
I mean, do you just arrest him? I mean, well,

00:36:06.820 --> 00:36:09.280
if they have evidence that he's doing shit he

00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:10.380
shouldn't be doing. I mean, you just can't go

00:36:10.380 --> 00:36:12.360
and assassinate him like these guys did. You

00:36:12.360 --> 00:36:14.659
shouldn't, no. Well, not in the United States

00:36:14.659 --> 00:36:16.599
because he's a U .S. citizen, right? Right. That'd

00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:18.739
cause a lot of stink. It probably would. I mean,

00:36:18.760 --> 00:36:20.860
it caused stink for Obama when he did a drone

00:36:20.860 --> 00:36:22.659
strike on an American citizen. Remember that?

00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:27.059
Overseas. That caused some stink. Anyway, this

00:36:27.059 --> 00:36:28.539
is interesting. We'll see where this goes. But

00:36:28.539 --> 00:36:30.480
I will tell you, if this ramps up and they're

00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:32.800
taking on the cartels and being kind of ugly

00:36:32.800 --> 00:36:34.559
with all this whole thing, they're going to push

00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:38.210
back. They will. And there could be some violence.

00:36:38.230 --> 00:36:40.449
Who's going to push back? Cartels. Cartels. And

00:36:40.449 --> 00:36:42.369
there could be some violence in the United States.

00:36:42.409 --> 00:36:45.869
So what is the number one? How does Mexico make

00:36:45.869 --> 00:36:50.150
their money? Tourism. Okay. No. Well, tourism

00:36:50.150 --> 00:36:52.849
and there's a shit ton of corporations down there.

00:36:53.050 --> 00:36:57.469
So number one is tourism. There is a shitload

00:36:57.469 --> 00:37:00.789
of corporations down there. China is basically.

00:37:00.889 --> 00:37:05.610
A bunch of U .S. corporations. Yes. So there's

00:37:05.610 --> 00:37:09.269
manufacturing companies down there from a plethora

00:37:09.269 --> 00:37:14.829
of, there are countries that invested doing stuff

00:37:14.829 --> 00:37:17.630
down in Mexico across the board. But the number

00:37:17.630 --> 00:37:20.550
one is tourism. No, it says Mexico's main source

00:37:20.550 --> 00:37:22.889
of income is the diversified manufacturing sector,

00:37:23.050 --> 00:37:26.449
which accounts for over 88 % of total exports

00:37:26.449 --> 00:37:29.409
and represents only 20 % of the GDP. Yeah, they

00:37:29.409 --> 00:37:31.110
make a lot of money. A lot of cars down there.

00:37:31.190 --> 00:37:33.449
Yeah. A lot of our cars. But my point is that

00:37:33.449 --> 00:37:36.250
they're - Tourism is huge. Tourism is huge. That's

00:37:36.250 --> 00:37:39.210
services, yeah. What has happened just now? People

00:37:39.210 --> 00:37:43.750
are canceling their spring breaks and abandoning

00:37:43.750 --> 00:37:45.929
them. Yep. That's going to leave - Here we go.

00:37:45.969 --> 00:37:47.929
That's a huge void. This is the largest contributor

00:37:47.929 --> 00:37:50.929
to GDP, over 58%, including commerce, tourism,

00:37:51.110 --> 00:37:53.190
and financial services. I mean, it doesn't need

00:37:53.190 --> 00:37:55.750
to be the largest, but I mean, I'm saying it's

00:37:55.750 --> 00:37:59.329
going to impact - Them hugely. Yes. Well, here's

00:37:59.329 --> 00:38:02.929
my challenge. The third wedding that I am going

00:38:02.929 --> 00:38:07.110
to in July is in Cabo. Uh -oh. And I told Julia,

00:38:07.150 --> 00:38:09.469
I was like. That could be iffy. That's what I

00:38:09.469 --> 00:38:11.429
told her. I was like, we may need to revisit

00:38:11.429 --> 00:38:13.150
this in a little while to see what's going on.

00:38:13.230 --> 00:38:15.429
I mean, even in Predator, they were saying stay.

00:38:17.110 --> 00:38:22.289
They are telling them to shelter in place during.

00:38:22.809 --> 00:38:25.070
During this whole drama. Don't leave the resorts.

00:38:25.070 --> 00:38:26.889
Correct. Shelter in place, right? So, I mean,

00:38:26.969 --> 00:38:29.489
and they already say, when you go to Cancun,

00:38:29.690 --> 00:38:32.789
don't leave the resort. No. I mean, you can have

00:38:32.789 --> 00:38:34.190
everything you need there anyway. I went there

00:38:34.190 --> 00:38:38.250
in the early 90s, and they were like, no, don't

00:38:38.250 --> 00:38:42.369
leave the resort. We left the resort. And? I

00:38:42.369 --> 00:38:46.210
mean, it was on a bus and stuff. You just went

00:38:46.210 --> 00:38:48.869
to a touristy area. We did. We did. Did you get

00:38:48.869 --> 00:38:52.480
roofied? Hell, I remember going to... Remember

00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:55.579
I was talking about Dr. Steve McDaniel, the up

00:38:55.579 --> 00:38:58.940
-top eye doctor? He and I went on vacation to

00:38:58.940 --> 00:39:03.699
Mexico. And I remember we left wherever we were

00:39:03.699 --> 00:39:08.559
at. Boys Town? And we rented these scooters.

00:39:08.639 --> 00:39:10.699
And we didn't know where the hell we were going.

00:39:11.000 --> 00:39:15.900
The helmet had a fucking horn on top. I mean,

00:39:15.980 --> 00:39:18.340
it looked like a Nazi helmet. It was hilarious.

00:39:18.579 --> 00:39:22.610
But here we are. We're driving. wherever the

00:39:22.610 --> 00:39:25.110
hell we were at in Mexico. And the people were

00:39:25.110 --> 00:39:27.690
like, yeah, you guys shouldn't be in this area.

00:39:28.110 --> 00:39:29.769
And, you know, both Steve and I were like, man,

00:39:29.769 --> 00:39:32.590
fuck that. We can take on all of you. We're on

00:39:32.590 --> 00:39:35.449
scooters, bro. We're on scooters. Yeah, we can

00:39:35.449 --> 00:39:37.989
outrun everyone. But, I mean, that was back.

00:39:38.110 --> 00:39:40.650
My point by bringing that up is even back then,

00:39:40.730 --> 00:39:45.409
which was in the late 80s, 89 actually, you know,

00:39:45.409 --> 00:39:48.230
even back then they were like, dude, there are

00:39:48.230 --> 00:39:50.489
areas where you don't need to go. Absolutely.

00:39:50.489 --> 00:39:53.590
So, I mean, it's only gotten worse. For sure.

00:39:54.369 --> 00:39:58.369
Yep. Anyway, that'll be interesting. We'll see

00:39:58.369 --> 00:40:01.489
where this goes. This is a new thing. And we've

00:40:01.489 --> 00:40:02.989
been talking about that. I mean, we have the

00:40:02.989 --> 00:40:04.949
intel. We know where their houses are. We could

00:40:04.949 --> 00:40:09.369
literally drone strike the leaders of every cartel

00:40:09.369 --> 00:40:12.230
if we carefully do it. Well, a lot of the cartel

00:40:12.230 --> 00:40:15.670
families from the guys that used to report to

00:40:15.670 --> 00:40:17.429
me that live in Mexico City are in Mexico City.

00:40:17.590 --> 00:40:19.880
Right. And they said that a lot of the cartel

00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:21.619
families were there. And then they said that

00:40:21.619 --> 00:40:25.380
Mexico City is actually fairly safe as far as

00:40:25.380 --> 00:40:27.519
away from the cartel shit. They're like, no,

00:40:27.599 --> 00:40:29.300
there's really bad places in Mexico City. You

00:40:29.300 --> 00:40:32.000
don't want to go. Right. But as far as cartel

00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:33.980
shit, you really don't find it because there's

00:40:33.980 --> 00:40:36.280
kind of an understanding. Our families live here.

00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:38.139
Let's keep our cartel shit out of it. So they

00:40:38.139 --> 00:40:41.079
have a, what is it? Sanctuary? No, what do you

00:40:41.079 --> 00:40:45.500
call it? A code of honor? A code of thieves'

00:40:45.659 --> 00:40:49.820
honor? What's that thing? We went to Hot Springs,

00:40:49.900 --> 00:40:51.800
Arkansas, and they said that all the gangsters

00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:53.980
from Chicago used to go there and they would

00:40:53.980 --> 00:40:56.179
get along because they were on vacation. Yeah,

00:40:56.179 --> 00:40:58.400
they vacationed together in the same Hot Springs?

00:40:58.579 --> 00:41:00.679
Yeah. And then they go back to Chicago and kill

00:41:00.679 --> 00:41:02.420
each other. And then kill each other. Yeah, you

00:41:02.420 --> 00:41:04.900
know what? I mean, hell, even the World War II

00:41:04.900 --> 00:41:06.920
guys got out of their trenches on Christmas Day

00:41:06.920 --> 00:41:09.460
and played soccer. That was one, I think, though.

00:41:09.659 --> 00:41:12.159
World War I. Yeah. Yeah, in the trenches. Yeah.

00:41:12.300 --> 00:41:15.420
Yeah. So, I mean, you know. Is that Gallipoli?

00:41:15.460 --> 00:41:18.360
At some point, everybody can get along for a

00:41:18.360 --> 00:41:20.820
short period of time. Was that the movie Gallipoli?

00:41:21.619 --> 00:41:24.159
I don't know. Are you talking about when they're

00:41:24.159 --> 00:41:26.639
riding on the beach? No, that's Jared. Jared

00:41:26.639 --> 00:41:32.980
the Fire. Who wrote that? What? Who wrote that

00:41:32.980 --> 00:41:37.780
theme? Nolan Ryan. Jan Hammer. Close. Vangelis.

00:41:37.780 --> 00:41:41.079
Come on. Who the fuck is Vangelis? He wrote Chariots

00:41:41.079 --> 00:41:44.199
of Fire. The theme song. The theme song, yes.

00:41:44.280 --> 00:41:50.239
And you know who produced that movie? Steven

00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:56.159
Spielberg. No. Nolan Ryan. Produced? Katie Holmes.

00:41:56.219 --> 00:42:01.820
Weinstein. No. Dodi Fayed. Oh, Dodi Fayed! Princess

00:42:01.820 --> 00:42:05.559
Diana's... Oh, the dude that killed Diana. Well,

00:42:05.579 --> 00:42:08.400
no, he got killed along the way. Yeah, her lover.

00:42:08.579 --> 00:42:10.900
Yeah, but her dating him basically caused that.

00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:13.639
Yeah, so he's the one who, his company produced

00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:17.380
that movie. Okay, thanks for sharing. Yes. And

00:42:17.380 --> 00:42:19.840
that's the end of our segment of Jeff's Needless

00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:23.159
Trivia. Deep thoughts by Jeff. Now, Paul wants

00:42:23.159 --> 00:42:27.659
to talk about Bonnie Blue. I do? Yes. Well, hold

00:42:27.659 --> 00:42:30.420
on. Mr. Producer. Play the audio on this. I'm

00:42:30.420 --> 00:42:32.619
fascinated. Oh, this is disgusting. She's an

00:42:32.619 --> 00:42:37.539
idiot. Oh, no. That is a pretty, like, it's like

00:42:37.539 --> 00:42:40.059
half pink, half white. Kind of looks like a drumstick,

00:42:40.059 --> 00:42:43.639
actually. Guys, yeah. Is that sperm on her phone?

00:42:43.699 --> 00:42:47.019
Definitely pregnant. Like, fully pregnant. She's

00:42:47.019 --> 00:42:49.440
pregnant? She's pregnant. She's pregnant. I'm

00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:54.400
actually not quite sure. Oh, my God. So, Bonnie

00:42:54.400 --> 00:42:58.199
Blue banged 400 men and unprotected in an attempt

00:42:58.199 --> 00:43:00.179
to see who would be the lucky father. So, the

00:43:00.179 --> 00:43:03.880
big blue. Unprotected. She's not quite sure who's

00:43:03.880 --> 00:43:06.110
the father. This is disgusting. She's got an

00:43:06.110 --> 00:43:09.110
ultrasound. Well, I also... She made the doctor

00:43:09.110 --> 00:43:12.230
wear one of the stupid masks. Well, because he

00:43:12.230 --> 00:43:14.449
doesn't want to be... Okay, I guess. Who wants

00:43:14.449 --> 00:43:16.570
to be Bonnie Blue's doctor? He's just a gyno.

00:43:16.570 --> 00:43:18.889
He doesn't care. He's got a freaking hoodie on.

00:43:18.949 --> 00:43:20.989
What the hell? That's what all the dudes that

00:43:20.989 --> 00:43:24.130
banged her wore. Oh, yeah. She's doing this for

00:43:24.130 --> 00:43:26.230
class. Oh, it's the Bonnie Blue hoodie. Yeah.

00:43:26.269 --> 00:43:30.969
I got you. I also heard that she asked all the

00:43:30.969 --> 00:43:34.619
men, who really wants to be a father? and she

00:43:34.619 --> 00:43:37.260
put them up front to give their sperm the better

00:43:37.260 --> 00:43:38.880
chance to get to her egg. To get a head start?

00:43:39.139 --> 00:43:41.539
Yes, to get a head start. So they were all Caucasian?

00:43:41.820 --> 00:43:47.039
No. Too soon? Not really. Why would it have to

00:43:47.039 --> 00:43:49.619
be Caucasian? I don't know. Just probabilities

00:43:49.619 --> 00:43:53.980
and statistics? Of what? You know what? Just

00:43:53.980 --> 00:43:57.440
let it go. Yeah. There's no digging out from

00:43:57.440 --> 00:44:00.219
that. I'm not digging. And she took DNA. And

00:44:00.219 --> 00:44:03.659
she took DNA. samples from all of them so she'll

00:44:03.659 --> 00:44:08.860
be able to identify the father. Yay. Not in the

00:44:08.860 --> 00:44:10.880
sperm. Extra DNA? I don't really care. Extra

00:44:10.880 --> 00:44:14.219
DNA. Imagine you're at work and you boned her

00:44:14.219 --> 00:44:19.119
and you get the call. Hey, good news. You're

00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:21.460
going to be a dad. You're the father. You're

00:44:21.460 --> 00:44:23.539
the lucky winner. And you're like, wait, do you

00:44:23.539 --> 00:44:25.699
want to get married? Oh, God. I mean, what the

00:44:25.699 --> 00:44:27.760
fuck? Are they going to get married? I doubt

00:44:27.760 --> 00:44:29.960
it. Are they just a sperm donor? Yes. So she

00:44:29.960 --> 00:44:32.679
was married and she... And that dude left her,

00:44:32.699 --> 00:44:35.760
right? You would think. I would hope. Well, okay.

00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:40.320
I'm not asking for moral judgment on this situation.

00:44:40.519 --> 00:44:42.559
The thing about it is that - I'm asking if she

00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:44.920
was married and he left her. She's an attractive

00:44:44.920 --> 00:44:49.079
woman. Yeah, she's not unattractive. It's disturbing.

00:44:49.679 --> 00:44:52.679
There's something very wrong with her. It's kind

00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:56.239
of like watching somebody eat boogers. I can't

00:44:56.239 --> 00:44:59.860
- Why are you doing this? What a great analogy.

00:44:59.980 --> 00:45:01.800
Did I ever tell you, speaking about eating boogers,

00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:05.920
during the summer... See, you triggered a memory.

00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:08.159
Thank you, Sean. I just jarred a memory. Now

00:45:08.159 --> 00:45:10.900
we get to hear about Jeff's memory of eating

00:45:10.900 --> 00:45:14.219
boogers. It was not me. During the summer, I

00:45:14.219 --> 00:45:16.199
was driving for summer school. Was this guy eating

00:45:16.199 --> 00:45:21.699
glue as well? It was not a guy. We pulled up

00:45:21.699 --> 00:45:25.679
to a stoplight. The guy I was... Driving with,

00:45:25.860 --> 00:45:27.940
I was driving and he was sitting there and the

00:45:27.940 --> 00:45:30.000
first thing he was - It was $5, she picks her

00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:34.300
nose. And I just hear him groan and he was like,

00:45:34.400 --> 00:45:39.179
oh no. And I look over, he's like, what up? She

00:45:39.179 --> 00:45:42.460
just dug so hard in her nose and ate it. Ew.

00:45:43.239 --> 00:45:44.539
So I pulled up a little bit - Like literally

00:45:44.539 --> 00:45:46.519
pull it out and you see it on the finger and

00:45:46.519 --> 00:45:48.340
they're like - And she ate it. So I pulled up

00:45:48.340 --> 00:45:51.369
and I kind of leaned to look. It was a very attractive

00:45:51.369 --> 00:45:55.030
young blonde lady. Those are the booger pickers.

00:45:55.150 --> 00:45:59.510
Are you sure? It's always the hot blonde. And

00:45:59.510 --> 00:46:06.210
there was me and two other guys. And we all came

00:46:06.210 --> 00:46:07.969
up and we were watching because she was right

00:46:07.969 --> 00:46:10.150
next to us. Did she go in again? She went in

00:46:10.150 --> 00:46:13.389
again. No. She went in again. She looked at it

00:46:13.389 --> 00:46:16.590
and then ate it. All three of us moaned. We're

00:46:16.590 --> 00:46:18.710
just like. Oh, my God. She's just putting on

00:46:18.710 --> 00:46:20.710
a show for you by that time. She did not know

00:46:20.710 --> 00:46:22.449
that we were looking at her. Don't knock it until

00:46:22.449 --> 00:46:24.010
you do it. No, I'm not going to do it. I mean,

00:46:24.010 --> 00:46:26.389
some of that stuff is really tasty, man. I couldn't

00:46:26.389 --> 00:46:29.269
believe it. She was an attractive. She was probably

00:46:29.269 --> 00:46:33.110
upper 20s, maybe. Hot as hell. Yeah, blonde,

00:46:33.289 --> 00:46:35.050
had her hair pulled back in a ponytail. Eating

00:46:35.050 --> 00:46:37.449
her boogers. Like a secret booger. She's a booger

00:46:37.449 --> 00:46:40.610
eater. Well, so is Bonnie Blue, whatever her

00:46:40.610 --> 00:46:42.170
name is. Bonnie Blue? Couldn't believe it. I

00:46:42.170 --> 00:46:45.860
mean, that's. What, she eats her burgers? Dude,

00:46:46.000 --> 00:46:49.679
she might as well. It's the same mindset. It's

00:46:49.679 --> 00:46:53.059
kind of like, at a certain point, you're kind

00:46:53.059 --> 00:46:55.099
of like, all right, well, there are times where

00:46:55.099 --> 00:46:58.019
people emotionally, there's emotional growth,

00:46:58.239 --> 00:47:00.980
professional growth. There's stuff that you...

00:47:01.130 --> 00:47:03.610
Go through it live to help nurture yourself.

00:47:04.030 --> 00:47:07.030
She has growth. She is going to regret. Growth.

00:47:07.250 --> 00:47:10.269
She is going to go through a hardcore period

00:47:10.269 --> 00:47:14.030
of regret later in life. Probably when the kid

00:47:14.030 --> 00:47:16.389
gets older. Later in life. I think when the kid

00:47:16.389 --> 00:47:19.110
gets older, you're like, yeah. You think maybe

00:47:19.110 --> 00:47:23.030
they can invent those nebulizers like from. Men

00:47:23.030 --> 00:47:25.329
in black. Men in black. And she just forgets

00:47:25.329 --> 00:47:27.010
the whole shit. God, that would be wonderful.

00:47:27.250 --> 00:47:29.289
You know what? She's going to wish. It doesn't

00:47:29.289 --> 00:47:31.989
take away from the fact that her vaginal cavity

00:47:31.989 --> 00:47:35.230
has been violated by 500 ,000 guys. You can get

00:47:35.230 --> 00:47:38.409
that reconstructed. Dude, I'm out. It needs to

00:47:38.409 --> 00:47:41.429
be rejuvenated for sure. Labiaplasty. Rejuvenerm

00:47:41.429 --> 00:47:43.989
on there. I want to go back to the booger picking.

00:47:44.429 --> 00:47:46.349
Well, you know what? She does have a butt. So

00:47:46.349 --> 00:47:47.949
you know what? Oh, no, she's not on interactive.

00:47:48.210 --> 00:47:50.889
My point is that she wasn't doing anally. So,

00:47:50.929 --> 00:47:55.030
I mean, you know, quietly speaking, you know,

00:47:55.030 --> 00:47:56.969
she's probably spent, but the butt's still good.

00:47:57.050 --> 00:48:00.760
She does have an extra bonus hole. I mean, all

00:48:00.760 --> 00:48:03.900
right, Paul, what were you saying? I want to

00:48:03.900 --> 00:48:05.760
go back to the burger picking. So I had a friend

00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:07.260
in high school, one of my best friends in high

00:48:07.260 --> 00:48:10.420
school. When he was a little kid, he was riding

00:48:10.420 --> 00:48:13.360
his bicycle and his chain fell off. You remember

00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:16.519
the days when you had a chain? While he was riding,

00:48:16.760 --> 00:48:18.780
he had gotten to a point where he was so good

00:48:18.780 --> 00:48:21.300
at re -threading it, like putting it back on

00:48:21.300 --> 00:48:23.320
the chain, and on you go. He didn't even have

00:48:23.320 --> 00:48:25.440
to stop. He didn't even have to stop and turn

00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:27.139
the bike over and do all that shit like the old

00:48:27.139 --> 00:48:29.139
days. That was good stuff, wasn't it? It was.

00:48:29.380 --> 00:48:31.960
Anyway, so he reached down, and for some reason,

00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:34.000
his finger got caught in the chain. Oh, yeah.

00:48:34.159 --> 00:48:39.199
And ripped off everything, the whole nail. Like

00:48:39.199 --> 00:48:41.579
the part of the finger. No, the whole finger.

00:48:42.440 --> 00:48:44.400
Including the nail. So it was a little piece

00:48:44.400 --> 00:48:46.340
of bone sticking out? He had a stub. Yes. Yes.

00:48:46.380 --> 00:48:49.780
And he went to the hospital. I mean, no, he's

00:48:49.780 --> 00:48:52.360
the kind of kid that didn't, he tells the story.

00:48:52.760 --> 00:48:54.780
He didn't panic at all. He was like, mom, yeah.

00:48:54.960 --> 00:48:56.960
And the mom was like, oh my God. You know what

00:48:56.960 --> 00:48:58.500
I mean? Because he literally had like a, yeah.

00:48:58.760 --> 00:49:01.760
Was it like spurting? I guess. Anyway, so they

00:49:01.760 --> 00:49:05.219
sewed it up. They couldn't reattach it. Right.

00:49:05.320 --> 00:49:08.400
But he had a stub. Right. And so he would. Did

00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:10.320
they take like little clippers and clip the bone

00:49:10.320 --> 00:49:13.150
off the top? Or do they kind of stretch the skin

00:49:13.150 --> 00:49:15.110
over? Is that a thing? I think they stretch the

00:49:15.110 --> 00:49:16.730
skin over. Because I remember looking at it,

00:49:16.769 --> 00:49:19.389
and yes, it was pulled over and sewed. Right.

00:49:19.530 --> 00:49:21.250
I mean, and this is years later. I mean, he's

00:49:21.250 --> 00:49:22.969
in high school. This was back when he was a kid.

00:49:23.329 --> 00:49:26.389
Anyway, so he, at stop sign, at stoplights, we'd

00:49:26.389 --> 00:49:29.570
all be sitting there, and he'd go, he'd go. And

00:49:29.570 --> 00:49:31.880
it looks like. His whole knuckle is up there.

00:49:31.940 --> 00:49:33.619
It looks like his whole finger is up his nose,

00:49:33.739 --> 00:49:36.139
right? So he just, yeah, he would do this. Right.

00:49:36.199 --> 00:49:38.360
He's giving himself a lobotomy. And he would

00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:41.000
basically do, you know, like people next to him

00:49:41.000 --> 00:49:44.079
would be like, oh my God. No, she was not doing

00:49:44.079 --> 00:49:46.960
this for our pleasure. No. But hers. But he was.

00:49:47.039 --> 00:49:49.320
It was, oh, maybe she was for her. Well, she

00:49:49.320 --> 00:49:52.090
obviously liked it. You don't know. She liked

00:49:52.090 --> 00:49:54.130
it in the nose. Talk about the female that picked

00:49:54.130 --> 00:49:56.610
and ate her boogers. Friday, February 27th at

00:49:56.610 --> 00:50:00.809

there. I highly recommend you guys go visit.

00:50:09.650 --> 00:50:11.650
We got John the drummer. Yep. John Rodriguez.

00:50:11.929 --> 00:50:14.210
And let's do that again because I want it in

00:50:14.210 --> 00:50:18.730
a nice... clear video, right? So this is a huge

00:50:18.730 --> 00:50:20.849
call out, right? This is our buddy John. Yes.

00:50:20.949 --> 00:50:23.989
This is his band. Not only is it John, but these

00:50:23.989 --> 00:50:26.510
guys are actually good. They're excellent. They're

00:50:26.510 --> 00:50:28.929
good. And for the people that love 80s, 90s music

00:50:28.929 --> 00:50:31.949
and female singers. Oh, yeah. These, I mean.

00:50:32.030 --> 00:50:36.409
They're good. She's pretty. That shocked me that

00:50:36.409 --> 00:50:39.010
they sang that song. And I was so, look, the

00:50:39.010 --> 00:50:41.849
band was awesome. And they have a great, what

00:50:41.849 --> 00:50:45.559
do you call it? Set list. song set. Well, I think

00:50:45.559 --> 00:50:46.980
it's all songs you've heard, but they're not

00:50:46.980 --> 00:50:49.420
the main songs of the band. Exactly. That's what

00:50:49.420 --> 00:50:52.760
it is. Alright, so it is Friday, February 27th,

00:50:52.760 --> 00:50:55.139
Frisco Bar. Their band name is called Fine Line.

00:50:55.260 --> 00:50:57.780
I highly recommend you guys go and see it. And

00:50:57.780 --> 00:50:59.420
the Dudes Like Us podcast guys will be there.

00:50:59.519 --> 00:51:01.460
We will be there. I'm going to be a little bit

00:51:01.460 --> 00:51:04.300
later. It drives me crazy. I want to see both

00:51:04.300 --> 00:51:06.019
sets, but I will be there for the second set.

00:51:06.699 --> 00:51:09.019
That's good stuff. Because I have a wedding meeting.

00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:14.280
We'd had zero. What authority do you have in

00:51:14.280 --> 00:51:16.719
that wedding meeting? I don't have any authority.

00:51:16.820 --> 00:51:20.079
So my son is engaged. Yay. Yeah, I'm excited.

00:51:20.199 --> 00:51:21.739
I really am excited. All you got to say is like,

00:51:21.780 --> 00:51:23.760
hey, guys, I authorize everything to be done.

00:51:23.840 --> 00:51:28.719
And then leave. Okay. Well, okay. So this is

00:51:28.719 --> 00:51:31.059
both families getting together, my son and his

00:51:31.059 --> 00:51:32.719
fiance getting together, and we're going to sit

00:51:32.719 --> 00:51:34.960
down and we're going to talk about. the wedding

00:51:34.960 --> 00:51:37.139
and wedding planning. And it's going to turn

00:51:37.139 --> 00:51:40.820
into a two families fun event. We're going to

00:51:40.820 --> 00:51:43.179
have some drinks and play some games and do some

00:51:43.179 --> 00:51:46.300
things. And unfortunately, it's happening on

00:51:46.300 --> 00:51:49.519
the same night as my buddy's band thing. Anyway,

00:51:49.559 --> 00:51:52.980
this is from 9 p .m. to 1 a .m. in the morning.

00:51:53.059 --> 00:51:56.739
So I will definitely be able to see the second

00:51:56.739 --> 00:51:58.820
set. I will see you. We'll see you a little bit

00:51:58.820 --> 00:52:01.420
later, but we'll be there. We'll be there early.

00:52:01.659 --> 00:52:05.500
The Frisco Bar actually has a... an elaborate

00:52:05.500 --> 00:52:09.199
menu. So we could probably have some dinner there.

00:52:09.699 --> 00:52:13.619
There we go. Look at that. Aren't they awesome?

00:52:15.340 --> 00:52:22.380
Yeah, that was a deep cut from Pat Benatar. Yeah,

00:52:22.380 --> 00:52:25.579
they have a keytar. He does have a keytar. Yes.

00:52:26.880 --> 00:52:33.219
Is that John's stomach? What is that device?

00:52:37.799 --> 00:52:41.679
She can sing. It was a good time. I had a great

00:52:41.679 --> 00:52:42.840
time the first night that we were out there.

00:52:44.340 --> 00:52:47.119
What is that little clacker thing? Yeah, that

00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:48.900
was kind of weird. I didn't remember that that

00:52:48.900 --> 00:52:50.639
night. I didn't remember the clacker thing. Was

00:52:50.639 --> 00:52:55.599
that kind of like the fish? Yes. How's that?

00:52:55.719 --> 00:52:58.519
Good? Very good. Very good. Thank you for sharing

00:52:58.519 --> 00:53:01.139
that noise. I can make any instrument noise.

00:53:02.099 --> 00:53:06.059
Sousaphone. Pick one. Fuck. I don't know what

00:53:06.059 --> 00:53:08.539
a sousaphone is. Mr. Producer, look up what a

00:53:08.539 --> 00:53:11.599
sousaphone is. That's a tuba. Oh. Boom, boom,

00:53:11.679 --> 00:53:14.480
boom, boom. That's a baritone. Boom, boom, boom,

00:53:14.579 --> 00:53:16.780
boom. That's tuba now. Dude, you're migrating

00:53:16.780 --> 00:53:20.119
the wrong direction, okay? Yes. What? Sousaphone's

00:53:20.119 --> 00:53:22.820
got like a high tenor. It's like between a trumpet.

00:53:23.219 --> 00:53:25.800
All right. This sounds more like a special needs

00:53:25.800 --> 00:53:29.099
clinic. Do a flugelhorn. I don't know what that

00:53:29.099 --> 00:53:31.059
is either. So I am excited about Friday night.

00:53:31.559 --> 00:53:33.840
This Friday night, the day after my wife's birthday.

00:53:34.059 --> 00:53:36.480
Nice. See if she wants to go. And we're gathering

00:53:36.480 --> 00:53:39.280
Saturday for your wife's birthday. Yeah. Are

00:53:39.280 --> 00:53:42.179
we really? I'm hosting. Oh, good to know. Yeah,

00:53:42.199 --> 00:53:43.599
Chuck's bringing an expensive bottle of bourbon,

00:53:43.619 --> 00:53:47.260
you said. Right. Oh, that reminds me. Oh, the

00:53:47.260 --> 00:53:49.000
cowboy? You're bringing the cowboy? Bring the

00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:50.860
cowboy. Are you serious? Slap my ass and call

00:53:50.860 --> 00:53:54.659
me happy. You're bringing that? No. What an asshole.

00:53:55.320 --> 00:53:58.329
What an asshole. Pretty crazy. All right, so

00:53:58.329 --> 00:54:00.670
listen, hold on. Son of a bitch. I am thinking

00:54:00.670 --> 00:54:03.190
about bringing... He 100 % said no. That was

00:54:03.190 --> 00:54:06.590
such a douchebag move. All right, so I need to

00:54:06.590 --> 00:54:08.150
bring... I don't need to bring... I'm thinking

00:54:08.150 --> 00:54:10.789
about bringing a bottle of bourbon over on Friday

00:54:10.789 --> 00:54:14.250
to my future in -laws. Early times. Not my future.

00:54:15.269 --> 00:54:19.489
Right? I mean... The new bottle. The new bottle?

00:54:19.670 --> 00:54:22.130
Of early times, yes. The new bottle. No, seriously.

00:54:23.619 --> 00:54:27.780
Get like an Elijah Craig or Rare Breed or something.

00:54:27.800 --> 00:54:30.119
Hold on, back up. Her father doesn't even really

00:54:30.119 --> 00:54:32.659
drink whiskey like that. No, he does. He just

00:54:32.659 --> 00:54:35.260
drinks the good stuff that he has with his buddies.

00:54:35.420 --> 00:54:40.000
Yeah, I agree with you. I think the 1845 would...

00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:43.639
100 proof. No, dude, no. Go with the good stuff?

00:54:44.019 --> 00:54:47.239
Well, they do have the... They opened up the

00:54:47.239 --> 00:54:50.260
vault and released the first pick of the 100

00:54:50.260 --> 00:54:52.559
proof. If you want to jump on that. But in my

00:54:52.559 --> 00:54:56.000
opinion, based on when we were there this...

00:54:56.000 --> 00:54:58.840
Chuck, Jeff, and I were there this past weekend.

00:54:58.920 --> 00:55:02.980
They still have double barrel. I highly recommend

00:55:02.980 --> 00:55:06.739
you bring the double barrel. Oh, I... Well, okay.

00:55:07.199 --> 00:55:09.079
I mean, you're asking. You're saying I have to

00:55:09.079 --> 00:55:13.079
drive out to 1845 and buy it. I'm not so keen

00:55:13.079 --> 00:55:15.119
on that. But I mean, because it's... Well, you

00:55:15.119 --> 00:55:17.820
still have a bottle of the double Spanish oak,

00:55:17.880 --> 00:55:22.989
right? Right. Right. Yeah, it's a hard no. I

00:55:22.989 --> 00:55:25.010
mean, I have one. No, I want something I'm going

00:55:25.010 --> 00:55:26.750
to buy at Total Wine because I'm not going to

00:55:26.750 --> 00:55:28.510
make that choice. I think the 1845 would be a

00:55:28.510 --> 00:55:30.769
good one to go. 1845, 100 proof. Or maybe the

00:55:30.769 --> 00:55:34.349
small cast or cast drink. Correct. Okay. That's

00:55:34.349 --> 00:55:36.010
what you guys would go with? I would. Would you

00:55:36.010 --> 00:55:37.949
go with the four grain or the three grain or

00:55:37.949 --> 00:55:41.730
the... I think the four grain is probably the

00:55:41.730 --> 00:55:43.849
easiest to drink. I'm more of a wheated guy.

00:55:44.110 --> 00:55:47.429
Wheat? Yeah. Wheat. Buy the God bless the double

00:55:47.429 --> 00:55:49.610
oak. They don't have it at Total Wine, do they?

00:55:49.809 --> 00:55:52.889
Oh, double, I'm sorry. Yeah, I would drive out

00:55:52.889 --> 00:55:56.969
there. What the hell? All right, so where are

00:55:56.969 --> 00:55:59.170
we at with this wine drink we're drinking tonight?

00:55:59.230 --> 00:56:01.449
Well, this is, I picked this one. Sean brought

00:56:01.449 --> 00:56:05.389
over the Still Austin True Blue, I'm sorry, the

00:56:05.389 --> 00:56:08.809
Blue Corn. So I bought, I pulled out our other

00:56:08.809 --> 00:56:14.389
Blue Corn, the True Blue from Balcones to compare

00:56:14.389 --> 00:56:17.460
the two. Now, this is a single -barrel straight

00:56:17.460 --> 00:56:19.460
corn whiskey, so it's a little different. It's

00:56:19.460 --> 00:56:24.059
not a bourbon. So it's a little different. It's

00:56:24.059 --> 00:56:26.000
actually quite a bit different. Well, yeah, Balcones

00:56:26.000 --> 00:56:28.440
is traditionally almost like a single malt. That's

00:56:28.440 --> 00:56:31.539
where they get their stuff from. I don't know

00:56:31.539 --> 00:56:32.940
where this fits on the single malt spectrum.

00:56:33.559 --> 00:56:35.800
That's not a single malt. It's not, but they

00:56:35.800 --> 00:56:39.820
do do a lot of single malts. Whiskey is not part

00:56:39.820 --> 00:56:44.750
of their forte, or I should say. Bourbon's not.

00:56:46.050 --> 00:56:48.829
They still sell this True Blue, though. They

00:56:48.829 --> 00:56:50.849
still make this, I believe. They do, but it's

00:56:50.849 --> 00:56:52.570
not. It's not a single malt? It's not the cast

00:56:52.570 --> 00:56:54.989
strain. It's a corn whiskey. A corn whiskey.

00:56:55.869 --> 00:56:58.769
So this is different from the True Blue, or from

00:56:58.769 --> 00:57:03.530
the Still Austin stuff. So I want to just be

00:57:03.530 --> 00:57:05.690
right out in the front and say, I enjoy the hell

00:57:05.690 --> 00:57:08.570
out of this. Do I like it more than the Still

00:57:08.570 --> 00:57:14.320
Austin? It's yes and no. I do like it from a

00:57:14.320 --> 00:57:18.340
different angle because the blue corn from Still

00:57:18.340 --> 00:57:21.000
Austin is just different. It's a different animal.

00:57:21.179 --> 00:57:25.039
It's darker. It's richer. This one is a true

00:57:25.039 --> 00:57:30.179
blue corn whiskey, and that has a place, and

00:57:30.179 --> 00:57:32.300
it's a total wine pick. Yeah, it's a store pick.

00:57:32.699 --> 00:57:36.900
The strength is right in the sweet spot where

00:57:36.900 --> 00:57:40.500
I like it. If I were to put this on the scale

00:57:40.500 --> 00:57:43.360
of whiskeys that I like, it would not score very

00:57:43.360 --> 00:57:46.639
high. But if I were to put this on the scale

00:57:46.639 --> 00:57:51.639
of corn whiskeys. This or mellow corn? Yeah.

00:57:52.420 --> 00:57:54.480
Okay, so hold on. Help me understand the mash

00:57:54.480 --> 00:57:57.780
bill of this. It's 100 % corn. 100 % corn. No

00:57:57.780 --> 00:58:00.400
barley, no wheat, no rye. So technically, it

00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:03.739
is a single malt. Single malt implies a single

00:58:03.739 --> 00:58:07.320
grain. Is corn a malt? Yeah, it should be. I

00:58:07.320 --> 00:58:08.579
mean, you're talking about malted barley, right?

00:58:11.360 --> 00:58:14.320
Balconia is too blue. 100 proof blue corn whiskey.

00:58:14.780 --> 00:58:18.320
Rich notes. Hold on. 100 % roasted blue corn.

00:58:18.320 --> 00:58:24.059
Single grain. Single grain. See, I thought single

00:58:24.059 --> 00:58:27.039
malt means a single grain. I don't believe so.

00:58:27.239 --> 00:58:32.239
So when scotch is a single malt, scotch is single

00:58:32.239 --> 00:58:34.849
malt, right? Let's pull this up. What does a

00:58:34.849 --> 00:58:37.010
single malt mean? Single malt refers to a whiskey

00:58:37.010 --> 00:58:41.550
produced at one distillery using only malted

00:58:41.550 --> 00:58:46.230
barley as the grain. Yeah. So what is a... So

00:58:46.230 --> 00:58:49.110
scotch, what exactly is scotch then? Let's go

00:58:49.110 --> 00:58:51.510
do this again. Malted barley. Yeah, malted barley.

00:58:51.690 --> 00:58:55.230
Okay. So everything is malted barley. This is

00:58:55.230 --> 00:58:58.130
clearly missing the malted barley because it's

00:58:58.130 --> 00:59:01.159
100 % corn. Right. It's 100 % corn. Yeah. So

00:59:01.159 --> 00:59:03.739
like Jeff said, this is like, what did you call

00:59:03.739 --> 00:59:06.760
it? Yellow corn? Mellow corn. Mellow corn. Yeah.

00:59:06.880 --> 00:59:11.099
And that's in the same ballpark. But this one's

00:59:11.099 --> 00:59:12.679
different, man. It's higher proof. It's got a

00:59:12.679 --> 00:59:15.539
nutsack on it. And it's got a little staunchiness

00:59:15.539 --> 00:59:19.219
to it. Look, this isn't something for everybody.

00:59:20.039 --> 00:59:22.719
I think this is kind of like a, I don't want

00:59:22.719 --> 00:59:26.340
to say one and done, but I think it's. I think

00:59:26.340 --> 00:59:28.179
it's something you need on your shelf because

00:59:28.179 --> 00:59:30.920
there's a demand for it at some point in your

00:59:30.920 --> 00:59:32.940
life. Well, we've had it. I don't know if I'd

00:59:32.940 --> 00:59:35.960
replace it. I don't know if you can replace it.

00:59:36.679 --> 00:59:39.119
Well, they still make it. Not that. Not Cast

00:59:39.119 --> 00:59:41.920
Strength. I've not seen Cast Strength. They do

00:59:41.920 --> 00:59:44.099
have True Blue, but it's the traditional blue

00:59:44.099 --> 00:59:46.239
bottle. Gotcha. They don't have that anymore.

00:59:46.239 --> 00:59:47.500
They don't have this one anymore? That's kind

00:59:47.500 --> 00:59:49.300
of like the Rebel. It's kind of gone extinct.

00:59:50.440 --> 00:59:52.219
You're probably right. Because they've kind of

00:59:52.219 --> 00:59:54.239
changed up their program down there a little

00:59:54.239 --> 00:59:56.380
bit. They discontinued a lot of their program

00:59:56.380 --> 00:59:59.280
because it's not selling. Yeah. This is 56 .9.

00:59:59.360 --> 01:00:03.900
So what is that? 114 almost? 113 .8? It's good.

01:00:04.199 --> 01:00:08.219
I like it. Does it rank next to some of the other

01:00:08.219 --> 01:00:10.699
whiskeys out there as a corn whiskey? I'm going

01:00:10.699 --> 01:00:13.280
to score it high because it's a corn whiskey,

01:00:13.420 --> 01:00:18.639
but it's not really fantastical. I think there's

01:00:18.639 --> 01:00:21.019
some harshness to it that I'm picking up. Oh,

01:00:21.019 --> 01:00:25.159
that's the corn, 100%. Yeah, and I'm not saying

01:00:25.159 --> 01:00:27.780
it's bad, but again, this is not ranked up there

01:00:27.780 --> 01:00:29.840
near the top. I'm probably going to give this

01:00:29.840 --> 01:00:33.980
a middle of the road of five. It's not bad. It's

01:00:33.980 --> 01:00:35.719
not good. It's right in the middle. Can I sit

01:00:35.719 --> 01:00:38.219
here and drink this? Of course. Yeah. It's got

01:00:38.219 --> 01:00:44.059
some chocolate notes. It does have some chocolate

01:00:44.059 --> 01:00:46.400
notes. I'm picking up some licorice, maybe. Some

01:00:46.400 --> 01:00:51.619
anise licorice. It's sweet. It's got honey. It

01:00:51.619 --> 01:00:54.440
has like, if you could imagine like corn, not

01:00:54.440 --> 01:00:57.699
to be obtuse, but I'm just saying, you know,

01:00:57.699 --> 01:00:59.940
if you picture some of the corn that's been,

01:01:00.039 --> 01:01:03.039
if you were to chuck a corn and take all the

01:01:03.039 --> 01:01:06.440
kernels and put it in a dish and put it in the

01:01:06.440 --> 01:01:09.599
oven and put some seasoning on it and then it

01:01:09.599 --> 01:01:12.659
comes out and then you taste it afterwards, you

01:01:12.659 --> 01:01:18.179
taste that. That corn. That green. That flavor

01:01:18.179 --> 01:01:20.400
that comes out in there, which is actually pretty

01:01:20.400 --> 01:01:25.139
desirable. It's tasty. But, yeah, I'm not a five,

01:01:25.360 --> 01:01:29.500
but I'm six. It also, I think, is dry. It makes

01:01:29.500 --> 01:01:32.000
the moisture in my mouth just kind of disappear.

01:01:32.460 --> 01:01:35.780
Kind of like a dry wine. Oh, yeah. But I love

01:01:35.780 --> 01:01:37.639
dry wine. This kind of has the same effect, at

01:01:37.639 --> 01:01:39.619
least it does for me. That just wants you to

01:01:39.619 --> 01:01:43.170
drink more. which is the reason why we're going

01:01:43.170 --> 01:01:44.989
to have to edit this podcast like a motherfucker

01:01:44.989 --> 01:01:50.670
tonight because of me. This one is not as sweet.

01:01:50.929 --> 01:01:53.170
I would expect it to be a little sweeter since

01:01:53.170 --> 01:01:55.630
it's 100 % corn. There's not a lot of sweetness,

01:01:55.650 --> 01:01:57.130
at least for me, not a lot of sweetness on this.

01:01:57.190 --> 01:01:59.230
Yeah, no kidding. Like yellow mellow or mellow

01:01:59.230 --> 01:02:02.070
yellow is like super sweet. Is it really, though?

01:02:02.250 --> 01:02:05.469
Yeah. Mellow corn? I didn't get that. I've got

01:02:05.469 --> 01:02:08.320
some downstairs. Yeah, I recall. I didn't get

01:02:08.320 --> 01:02:10.099
that sweetness that you're referring to. We need

01:02:10.099 --> 01:02:11.880
to try that. I need to pull it up here. It's

01:02:11.880 --> 01:02:14.380
100 proof. We need to try it again to see. I

01:02:14.380 --> 01:02:17.019
remember it being very sweet. To see what we

01:02:17.019 --> 01:02:19.519
think of it this time. All right, Paul, rating?

01:02:20.039 --> 01:02:23.300
You know, this is hard. I mean, okay, so I can't

01:02:23.300 --> 01:02:25.960
compare this to what we just had because it doesn't

01:02:25.960 --> 01:02:29.219
even compare, right? No, I agree. In terms of

01:02:29.219 --> 01:02:32.099
the, not Iron Root, but still Austin. Completely

01:02:32.099 --> 01:02:34.079
different. That was a bourbon for one thing.

01:02:34.079 --> 01:02:36.559
Completely different. But the blue corn, I love

01:02:36.559 --> 01:02:38.260
the correlation, though. Jeff, that was a good

01:02:38.260 --> 01:02:42.860
pick to put these two back to back. So I'm going

01:02:42.860 --> 01:02:52.099
to go with the 5 .8. All right. Yeah, I'm going

01:02:52.099 --> 01:02:55.739
to go with the 5 .8. That seems fair. I got to

01:02:55.739 --> 01:02:59.210
be honest. I wasn't impressed. That is not what

01:02:59.210 --> 01:03:02.889
I would expect out of 5 .8. I mean, that's lower.

01:03:03.070 --> 01:03:09.849
Usually, my lowest is like 6. It doesn't last

01:03:09.849 --> 01:03:15.489
real long either as far as the finish. I'll even

01:03:15.489 --> 01:03:19.510
use the word obnoxious. When you taste it, it's

01:03:19.510 --> 01:03:22.849
there and it's like attacking you. And you get

01:03:22.849 --> 01:03:26.170
the flavor. I fucking get it. It's 100 % corn.

01:03:26.809 --> 01:03:29.710
Can you back off? But it doesn't. And it sits

01:03:29.710 --> 01:03:33.230
there and it taunts you. And it's got this tea,

01:03:33.570 --> 01:03:37.489
this hardcore tea effluent that kind of like

01:03:37.489 --> 01:03:40.590
keeps hitting you afterwards. There's no white

01:03:40.590 --> 01:03:46.510
pepper. There's no creamy praline or any of that

01:03:46.510 --> 01:03:49.130
kind of following up to kind of do full circle

01:03:49.130 --> 01:03:52.309
stuff. There's no traditional bourbon or whiskey

01:03:52.309 --> 01:03:56.449
taste to this at all, in my opinion. So, I mean,

01:03:56.780 --> 01:04:02.480
If those folks out there that are used to dealing

01:04:02.480 --> 01:04:06.559
with this type of corn, then yeah, probably this

01:04:06.559 --> 01:04:09.320
is very desirable. But for me personally, no.

01:04:09.820 --> 01:04:14.840
I'm not into this. I will score this a six because

01:04:14.840 --> 01:04:18.079
on the effort, the fact that it's highly approved,

01:04:18.300 --> 01:04:21.000
and actually it's well manicured, but it's just

01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:23.940
not my thing. It's not my bag either. Yeah, not

01:04:23.940 --> 01:04:27.289
mine either. No. But they show it at Empire Liquor.

01:04:27.289 --> 01:04:30.929
Do they? I don't know. I don't know. We need

01:04:30.929 --> 01:04:32.570
to go. Actually, I haven't been to the store

01:04:32.570 --> 01:04:34.829
yet. It's up there by Scott Cash, right? Yeah,

01:04:34.909 --> 01:04:37.090
Scott Cash turned me on to Empire Liquor. The

01:04:37.090 --> 01:04:39.769
guys out there at Empire Liquor are truly...

01:04:39.769 --> 01:04:42.730
When you go out there and you want to shop, they're

01:04:42.730 --> 01:04:47.929
guys that are trying to bring you in and... show

01:04:47.929 --> 01:04:49.949
you an experience. I mean, at the store, they

01:04:49.949 --> 01:04:52.269
got the owner, Josh, or part of the ownership,

01:04:52.489 --> 01:04:55.969
there's John and Matt, and when you show up,

01:04:56.030 --> 01:04:59.750
they know us. So they're kind of like, they want

01:04:59.750 --> 01:05:02.090
to cater to us because we've seen them at some

01:05:02.090 --> 01:05:05.190
of the tastings over at Cashless House. Okay.

01:05:05.889 --> 01:05:08.670
And they also sell CBD. I'm more intrigued by

01:05:08.670 --> 01:05:11.150
that. Really? That's what it said on the sign.

01:05:11.349 --> 01:05:13.670
Yeah, I'm a hard pass on that. What's wrong with

01:05:13.670 --> 01:05:19.840
CBD? Actually, again, it's not my bag. They've

01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:21.559
got some interesting looking stuff there that

01:05:21.559 --> 01:05:24.820
you don't see. Well, I mean, that's why Scott

01:05:24.820 --> 01:05:27.780
goes there, because they have pretty good allocated

01:05:27.780 --> 01:05:29.960
shit, apparently. What is that? Look at these

01:05:29.960 --> 01:05:34.679
pictures. Iron Groot. No, I am Groot. Yeah, well,

01:05:34.840 --> 01:05:38.820
I think any time you have a cry, I am Groot.

01:05:38.940 --> 01:05:42.260
Okay, well, this is a play on I am Groot. Groot,

01:05:42.260 --> 01:05:45.230
I am Groot. I love that show. I think it's Iron

01:05:45.230 --> 01:05:50.329
Man. It's all Iron Man. Look, shout out to Balcones.

01:05:50.349 --> 01:05:53.989
Thank you guys for the products you guys put

01:05:53.989 --> 01:05:58.170
out there. I hope you turn a corner and bring

01:05:58.170 --> 01:05:59.750
back some more. I know they're sitting on a bunch

01:05:59.750 --> 01:06:01.889
of product right now, and they're wanting to

01:06:01.889 --> 01:06:04.750
produce it. The Rumble was a huge success with

01:06:04.750 --> 01:06:07.369
me as far as I'm concerned. I liked it too. I

01:06:07.369 --> 01:06:11.019
enjoyed the high proof stuff. And now they've

01:06:11.019 --> 01:06:12.860
dumbed it down to like $80, $90. Yeah, they stopped

01:06:12.860 --> 01:06:15.920
making it. It's one of our favorites. I don't

01:06:15.920 --> 01:06:17.840
remember what it was. Oh, Balcones was kind of

01:06:17.840 --> 01:06:19.920
one of the pioneers that kind of brought in the

01:06:19.920 --> 01:06:24.119
single malt industry into Texas. Really, it's

01:06:24.119 --> 01:06:26.960
one of the first ones. And they need to be held

01:06:26.960 --> 01:06:29.380
up and be held accountable for that because it's

01:06:29.380 --> 01:06:31.699
awesome. I'm a little toasty, honestly, guys.

01:06:31.920 --> 01:06:35.719
I am not fucking drunk. Can you tell the time?

01:06:36.880 --> 01:06:39.829
Yes. All right. All right. Well, I'll close this

01:06:39.829 --> 01:06:41.550
out. You guys ready? Yeah. Ready. All right.

01:06:41.710 --> 01:06:44.070
