WEBVTT

00:00:05.259 --> 00:00:08.779
Looks like the corn is winning currently. The

00:00:08.779 --> 00:00:13.839
corn is, yes. But these are early votes. So 187

00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:20.399
to what? To Paxton's? I can't see it. 153. 153.

00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:23.980
That'll be a runoff. Oh, wow. We'll see how it

00:00:23.980 --> 00:00:26.960
goes. I don't know. I think Virgil John B. Squamble

00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:31.219
may have a chance. Virgil? Or not. Golrez. Gus

00:00:31.219 --> 00:00:34.229
Kahn. Peter Schwale. Yeah, that's what I was

00:00:34.229 --> 00:00:36.850
referring to, last names, you know. And it may

00:00:36.850 --> 00:00:39.310
be wrong, but I'm okay with that. There's a lot

00:00:39.310 --> 00:00:41.210
of people in this running in there. No kidding.

00:00:41.329 --> 00:00:43.329
For a senator, yeah. Yeah. I mean, to be honest,

00:00:43.409 --> 00:00:46.329
if I saw Lavenka on there, I'd be like, I've

00:00:46.329 --> 00:00:49.390
been voting for him. That's because it's Halavienkia.

00:00:50.109 --> 00:00:54.450
Halavienkia. I'd get my Czech constituents. Yeah.

00:00:54.950 --> 00:00:56.630
Dan Crenshaw. Second half of the Dudes Like Us

00:00:56.630 --> 00:01:00.270
podcast. It's March 3rd, the first week of March,

00:01:00.409 --> 00:01:03.280
and we're having a great time. We have a special

00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:05.700
guest with us tonight who brought a plethora

00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:08.700
of things for us to sample as a blind test. Excellent

00:01:08.700 --> 00:01:10.280
experience for the first time. Thank you, Mark,

00:01:10.299 --> 00:01:13.519
for doing that. The $8 bottle won. It won everything.

00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.659
It came close. So, dudes like us, I'm Sean. I'm

00:01:16.659 --> 00:01:19.120
Paul. And I'm Jeff. And I'm Mark. And we're here

00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:20.920
to pump you up. No, we're here to have a good

00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:22.260
time. Thank you, Chuck, for staying on top of

00:01:22.260 --> 00:01:24.780
shit as you do. Our producer, Mr. Chuck, what

00:01:24.780 --> 00:01:28.140
have we got going on? We have a lot going on.

00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:29.939
You know, I'm going to share one stupid story.

00:01:30.099 --> 00:01:32.040
So you know how we have videos now, right? On

00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.700
YouTube. We do. Is it just YouTube? Yes. It's

00:01:34.700 --> 00:01:36.079
just YouTube. We have Facebook and Instagram.

00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:37.500
No, no, no. It's on TikTok and Instagram. Yeah,

00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:39.579
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Anyway, but that's my first

00:01:39.579 --> 00:01:42.700
landing spot. Anyway, so yesterday I was pulling

00:01:42.700 --> 00:01:44.340
the things off the hard drive to get it all,

00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:48.239
you know, situated. And man, it took me 40, like

00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.680
40 minutes to try to sync the audio to the video.

00:01:52.340 --> 00:01:54.659
And it turns out I was trying to sync the pre

00:01:54.659 --> 00:02:00.069
-audio to the post -video. Yeah, that wouldn't

00:02:00.069 --> 00:02:04.290
ever really work well. So I'm an expert. I'm

00:02:04.290 --> 00:02:07.230
definitely a professional now. Yes. You know

00:02:07.230 --> 00:02:09.990
what? These little setbacks, they're worth a

00:02:09.990 --> 00:02:13.189
lot in the future. But I've never zoomed on your

00:02:13.189 --> 00:02:15.729
mouth trying to understand what you're saying.

00:02:16.789 --> 00:02:19.210
It was like you said something like, yeah, what

00:02:19.210 --> 00:02:21.150
the water? And I was like looking for an audio

00:02:21.150 --> 00:02:24.050
that was like, what the water? And it just never

00:02:24.050 --> 00:02:26.680
happened. And then I realized, yeah. Oh, yes.

00:02:26.819 --> 00:02:28.659
Okay. Anyway, I just wanted to share that little

00:02:28.659 --> 00:02:31.280
story about how difficult it is to be us on this

00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.699
podcast. Well, it can be. And, you know, we're

00:02:34.699 --> 00:02:39.560
working our way to making a better. We are. Every

00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:41.539
time. We've got, I don't even know what we're

00:02:41.539 --> 00:02:44.379
doing now. Hopefully it's recording. But to figure

00:02:44.379 --> 00:02:45.680
it out. You know what? We need money. It's all

00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.400
recording? Good. We need to get some money on

00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:49.439
this goddamn God Blessing podcast, you know?

00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:51.699
I agree. Yeah, for all of our loyal listeners.

00:02:52.340 --> 00:02:54.840
Where's the money? Show us the money, man. Actually,

00:02:54.900 --> 00:02:57.479
we only need like 10 cents. Oh. If we get 10

00:02:57.479 --> 00:02:59.199
cents from like a million people, I think we'd

00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.560
be all right. Didn't you guys say that we made

00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:03.659
a dollar on something? We made three bucks on

00:03:03.659 --> 00:03:07.259
Rumble. Yeah. Where's the money, Jeff? He's spending

00:03:07.259 --> 00:03:09.719
it on a butt plug. Where's the money, Lebowski?

00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:12.719
We have to provide all kinds of personal account

00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:14.419
information and shit in order to get our three

00:03:14.419 --> 00:03:16.800
dollars. Oh. Are we gaining interest on that

00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:18.460
while it sits there? Are we up to like three?

00:03:18.460 --> 00:03:21.879
Well, the problem is - Two cents? is RSS does

00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.180
not upload to Rumble, so you have to tie your

00:03:24.180 --> 00:03:27.780
YouTube account to Rumble, and I did that. Ooh.

00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:32.259
But it stopped updating, so I don't know, like,

00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:36.159
three years ago. Well, yeah, we got to jump on

00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.960
it then. What is Rumble? Isn't that the... Oh,

00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:40.919
you've never heard of Rumble? Gay dating? No.

00:03:41.060 --> 00:03:44.139
No, that would be Grindr. I figured Paul would

00:03:44.139 --> 00:03:46.139
know that one. No, no, no. Sean knows all about

00:03:46.139 --> 00:03:48.900
Grindr. Never heard Grindr. No, Rumble's kind

00:03:48.900 --> 00:03:52.419
of the alternate YouTube type of thing. Okay.

00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:56.120
Right. It happened when somebody came up with

00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:59.300
Rumble. Dan Bongino. Dan Bongino. He was the

00:03:59.300 --> 00:04:01.919
first big person to go to Rumble. But then he

00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.319
was like an anti -woke. Yeah. Well, yeah. Oh,

00:04:04.340 --> 00:04:07.159
okay. It was Tucker Carlson. YouTube was kicking

00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:09.479
people off. Yeah, the de -platform. Oh, that's

00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.800
right. Yeah, yeah. And it was part of the Trump

00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.400
campaign. Yeah, especially after Jan 6, they

00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.920
kicked everybody off of YouTube and X and everywhere.

00:04:19.300 --> 00:04:22.339
COVID. Yeah. All the de -platforming. Isn't that

00:04:22.339 --> 00:04:25.759
crazy how they were able to do that and get away

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.019
with it? What was it? Can't do it now. Parlay.

00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:34.420
Parlay, Amazon basically said, get off our platform.

00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:38.519
And they took all their... shut down all their

00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:41.879
servers. That's ridiculous. They did do that.

00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:47.199
They should have got sued. Amazon got sued. 100

00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.300
% was scary. It was a scary time of censorship.

00:04:49.660 --> 00:04:56.160
And that just happened. It did. This is 2023,

00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.680
2024. How could this happen in these times? But

00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.980
it did. It did. Hardcore. Was it all COVID? Was

00:05:03.980 --> 00:05:07.439
it part of COVID? It was part of COVID because

00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:09.540
a lot of folks got kicked off. They used it as

00:05:09.540 --> 00:05:15.240
a tool to get rid of these right wing activists.

00:05:16.379 --> 00:05:19.079
To silence everybody. I tried to do that to Rogan.

00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:22.180
Joe Rogan told them to take a flying hike. That

00:05:22.180 --> 00:05:26.480
didn't work. They tried to do it to us. We came

00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.600
back with a vengeance. We got, what, two strikes?

00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:31.399
Yeah. Well, and that's just the whole thing.

00:05:31.459 --> 00:05:35.100
The strikes that we've incurred on YouTube are

00:05:35.100 --> 00:05:38.300
all oriented around misinformation regarding

00:05:38.300 --> 00:05:42.939
the vaccine. You guys? Yes. Really? Oh, is that

00:05:42.939 --> 00:05:45.139
right? Yeah. Multiple times. We were telling

00:05:45.139 --> 00:05:48.360
people to drink a fishbowl cleaner. So what kind

00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:50.620
of things can you not do? I mean, you can't talk

00:05:50.620 --> 00:05:54.420
about... medical whatever they deem inappropriate

00:05:54.420 --> 00:05:57.000
yeah right whatever they deem inappropriate yeah

00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.120
there's not like papers please pull up here let's

00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.480
review your podcast we also we also got flagged

00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:05.319
by someone in romania for playing some olivia

00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:08.220
newton john song a little bit too long we did

00:06:08.220 --> 00:06:11.879
it was one second too long Romania. Are you serious?

00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.040
On YouTube, you'll get flagged a lot for playing

00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.699
music. We do some podcasts. Like a copyright

00:06:18.699 --> 00:06:23.579
thing? It is a copyright infringement, but YouTube

00:06:23.579 --> 00:06:26.060
doesn't give a fuck unless you get reported.

00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:30.579
If somebody in Bangladesh or Romania, they're

00:06:30.579 --> 00:06:34.360
kind of like, you played about 13 seconds. That's

00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:36.199
about a second and a half longer than you should.

00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.920
They say, hey, man, we reported it. But nothing

00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.360
comes about of it. It's all water under the bridge.

00:06:43.540 --> 00:06:47.439
But yet, they send you the hate mail, and then

00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:49.980
you have to... Who's they? YouTube. Oh, YouTube.

00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:52.019
YouTube. Then you have to... Because at that

00:06:52.019 --> 00:06:54.139
point, you're locked. And then your account gets

00:06:54.139 --> 00:06:55.920
frozen, and you're like, all right, well, now

00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.720
I have to do something to unfreeze it. So you

00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:00.959
have to act, and then they review it. Oh, my

00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.500
God. You're kidding me. We'll let it go. We're

00:07:03.500 --> 00:07:06.639
going to remove that particular video of yours.

00:07:07.769 --> 00:07:09.930
This is another part I don't get. Because on

00:07:09.930 --> 00:07:12.269
the YouTube, they can tell you exactly where

00:07:12.269 --> 00:07:14.129
it happened. When did that infraction occur?

00:07:14.410 --> 00:07:18.069
They go, you know what? You have 58 minutes and

00:07:18.069 --> 00:07:21.110
three seconds in. You played about 13 seconds

00:07:21.110 --> 00:07:23.730
of this. I was like, why don't you go in there

00:07:23.730 --> 00:07:28.290
with your awesome algorithm, fucking delete it,

00:07:28.329 --> 00:07:30.970
just that little section, and move on with life

00:07:30.970 --> 00:07:32.810
and stop making everyone's life hard. Right.

00:07:32.889 --> 00:07:37.449
Come on. So can anybody flag? I don't know. I

00:07:37.449 --> 00:07:39.470
don't know. I don't know. Evidently somebody

00:07:39.470 --> 00:07:43.029
can in Romania. Who has enough time to count

00:07:43.029 --> 00:07:46.189
how many seconds? I think people build bots and

00:07:46.189 --> 00:07:49.670
algorithms to scan all of this shit looking for

00:07:49.670 --> 00:07:52.790
their music is what it is. Oh, okay. They have

00:07:52.790 --> 00:07:54.750
to. Yeah, they're out there listening and they're

00:07:54.750 --> 00:07:56.910
like, here's one, here's one, here's one. They

00:07:56.910 --> 00:07:59.889
all get reported. Just to call out to your Romanian

00:07:59.889 --> 00:08:02.149
accent though, it was outstanding. Oh, you like

00:08:02.149 --> 00:08:03.949
that, huh? Yeah. I've been working on that. We're

00:08:03.949 --> 00:08:07.050
pretty big. You sound a lot like New York. Bill

00:08:07.050 --> 00:08:11.930
Cosby. Yeah, yeah. Like the blue guy in Star

00:08:11.930 --> 00:08:16.089
Wars. Yeah. It's vandalizing. Shout out to all

00:08:16.089 --> 00:08:22.209
the Romanians. It wasn't fair. Speaking of Romania,

00:08:22.470 --> 00:08:25.720
let's talk about that Polish guitar player. Yeah,

00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:28.079
who? Paul's favorite. Well, first off, who sent

00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.600
it to me? I sent it to you. Okay. Because I saw

00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:31.860
it and I thought it was... Well, how? It was

00:08:31.860 --> 00:08:35.320
a Polish 26 -year -old guitar master, Marcin

00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:41.860
Pasalczyk. Look at you. No, it's not. There's

00:08:41.860 --> 00:08:44.240
no check in there. You're so authentic. Mark

00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.659
is so authentic. I love that. I just want to

00:08:46.659 --> 00:08:49.559
throw something in there. Okay, so hold on. What's

00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:54.259
the background? Apparently this kid is an amfinato.

00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:56.860
What do you call it? A finacciato? He made this

00:08:56.860 --> 00:09:01.500
video in a tutorial form showing how he manages

00:09:01.500 --> 00:09:04.179
to play so extraordinarily well in response.

00:09:04.659 --> 00:09:06.960
And yes, it's played on one guitar. Go ahead

00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:09.320
and play on that. All right, let's go. I'm playing

00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:12.200
the bass with my left hand, and my right hand

00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:15.879
is free. So what I'm going to do to complete

00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:20.259
the rhythm section is use my right hand right

00:09:20.259 --> 00:09:26.139
now. I mean, he's apparently making all this

00:09:26.139 --> 00:09:29.620
noise. Yes. So I'm going to add a snare. Where's

00:09:29.620 --> 00:09:31.600
the bass coming from? He's hitting it. He's banging

00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:33.960
it. That can't be acoustic. That's an acoustic

00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:37.860
guitar, yeah. Oh, my God. But you know, a real

00:09:37.860 --> 00:09:42.100
drummer, a real drummer plays way more than this.

00:09:43.019 --> 00:09:53.399
Like... Keep that volume up. Harmony. Where is

00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:55.500
he getting the bass from? I'm looking for like

00:09:55.500 --> 00:09:58.159
a palm to be hitting the guitar. I don't see

00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.779
it. Harmony is what adds the character to a song.

00:10:01.740 --> 00:10:03.919
It fills all the gaps. I'm not seeing it. On

00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:06.120
the guitar, Chuck, what are they called? Those

00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:08.200
things that hear the sound that they read? The

00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:11.480
pickup. He's thumping the pickup. So he's barely

00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:13.120
grazing it with his thumb when he goes past it.

00:10:13.220 --> 00:10:16.779
It sounds incredible. It does. And if it's real,

00:10:16.940 --> 00:10:18.820
which you guys are saying it's real. It's real.

00:10:19.899 --> 00:10:23.899
Very impressive. And with one hand, he's making

00:10:23.899 --> 00:10:25.899
all that noise, even though he's not strumming

00:10:25.899 --> 00:10:28.980
with his right. So I'm not a guitar player, but

00:10:28.980 --> 00:10:33.080
how do you make that much noise on an acoustic?

00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:36.899
Well, you've got pickups in there, and then basically

00:10:36.899 --> 00:10:38.820
what you're doing is you're doing hammer -ons

00:10:38.820 --> 00:10:41.240
and pull -offs. So you're hammering your finger

00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:43.879
down and getting the sound, and you can pick

00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.299
it as you're strumming the string on the neck.

00:10:46.419 --> 00:10:48.879
You hit the string with your finger, and then

00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:53.820
you can pick it as you pick your finger off.

00:10:54.019 --> 00:10:58.230
Wow. So you can get a... And it's got the music.

00:10:58.250 --> 00:11:00.789
If you see the video, you guys can... I'll put

00:11:00.789 --> 00:11:03.169
up the video, but you see the notes, which is

00:11:03.169 --> 00:11:09.629
incredible what this guy's doing. You think he

00:11:09.629 --> 00:11:12.909
gets laid? Playing like that. Well, with fingers

00:11:12.909 --> 00:11:14.690
like that, he could probably lay himself easily.

00:11:15.710 --> 00:11:17.490
Yeah, but does he get laid while he's playing?

00:11:17.750 --> 00:11:21.590
I don't know. I guess sometimes you're supposed

00:11:21.590 --> 00:11:26.960
to play normal, right? It's super, super cool.

00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:30.200
It is cool. Very cool. So this guy's from Poland,

00:11:30.299 --> 00:11:32.080
right? Poland's got a lot of good stuff going

00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:34.120
on. I'm happy for the direction their whole country's

00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:37.980
going in. Such as what else? You mean Poland?

00:11:38.179 --> 00:11:39.720
Yeah. Oh, dude, they don't have to deal with

00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:42.419
all the immigration shit they got going on everywhere

00:11:42.419 --> 00:11:43.659
across the planet? That's not Poland. That's

00:11:43.659 --> 00:11:46.399
somewhere else. That is Poland and Hungary. Hungary

00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:48.200
and Poland. Hungary is who I'm thinking of. Poland's

00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:51.919
the same way? Yep. Oh, 100%. They're hammering

00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:53.440
down. Yeah, I knew Hungary was like that. They

00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:55.799
built a wall. You know, they built a fence. I

00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:58.059
pull it as a put -up of shit. It's like, you

00:11:58.059 --> 00:12:00.220
can get the fuck out. Yeah, they've been through

00:12:00.220 --> 00:12:03.200
that before. Well, I mean, hell, there were books

00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:06.799
produced, though. Stupid jocks. Polack jokes.

00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:09.980
I mean, how horrible was that? And they're like,

00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:11.200
you know what, man? That's when we were growing

00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.399
up. Who's laughing now? The jokes were the Polack

00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:15.639
jokes. Who's the Polack now? They're just still

00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:20.820
kind of funny. Well, they are, but, you know.

00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:24.250
That's not the point. All right. So, I mean,

00:12:24.269 --> 00:12:26.169
are we going to touch on Iran? Because that's

00:12:26.169 --> 00:12:28.649
like the biggest foreign policy development in

00:12:28.649 --> 00:12:31.950
the last 40 years. So, I mean, for those listeners

00:12:31.950 --> 00:12:33.750
out there that haven't heard the news, I mean,

00:12:33.769 --> 00:12:35.690
there's obviously... Yeah, you're living under

00:12:35.690 --> 00:12:38.309
a rock. I need a little clarification because

00:12:38.309 --> 00:12:40.950
I was gaming and I was speaking with Brian. Shout

00:12:40.950 --> 00:12:43.509
out to Brian out in California. And I was like,

00:12:43.629 --> 00:12:44.950
well, how did this thing start? He was like,

00:12:44.990 --> 00:12:48.769
well, they bombed a base in Bahrain. Iran did.

00:12:49.100 --> 00:12:52.740
And as a result, we reacted. And I was like,

00:12:52.779 --> 00:12:56.000
okay. And now I'm hearing that that, I mean,

00:12:56.019 --> 00:12:57.500
I don't know if that's the case. Is that the

00:12:57.500 --> 00:12:59.679
case? I don't think that. I know they did bomb

00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:03.460
Bahrain, but I don't think that's what started

00:13:03.460 --> 00:13:05.919
it. I think that was a response. It was. As far

00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:08.340
as I know. That was a response from Iran. I heard

00:13:08.340 --> 00:13:10.360
that Trump called the strike and then he went

00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:13.179
to Whataburger. Well, he did. He called it on

00:13:13.179 --> 00:13:15.679
his way to Corpus Christi. Well, I mean, look,

00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.519
from what I understood also is that Trump had,

00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:22.580
that they were about to unveil something. And

00:13:22.580 --> 00:13:24.179
it was like, you know what, dude? If you guys

00:13:24.179 --> 00:13:25.779
are about to do this, guess what? We're going

00:13:25.779 --> 00:13:28.360
to beat you, and they did. They were voting the

00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.879
new Ayatollah, and there were 88 people in a

00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:34.389
building where they were voting. 88 people that

00:13:34.389 --> 00:13:36.590
were voting for the guy that's taking over, and

00:13:36.590 --> 00:13:38.909
they fucking smashed that building. I mean, I

00:13:38.909 --> 00:13:40.789
shouldn't be happy about that, but it kind of

00:13:40.789 --> 00:13:42.809
cracks me up a little bit. Well, they were arrogant,

00:13:42.950 --> 00:13:47.730
thinking that Israel, and I think mainly Israel,

00:13:47.889 --> 00:13:50.570
because the Mossad, they're not going to strike

00:13:50.570 --> 00:13:52.889
during the day. They're not going to strike on

00:13:52.889 --> 00:13:55.190
the Sabbath. And that they don't have unbelievable

00:13:55.190 --> 00:13:58.129
intelligence. And Ramadan. And during Ramadan.

00:13:58.129 --> 00:14:00.070
So you're like, yeah, they're not going to do

00:14:00.070 --> 00:14:02.179
this. I mean, first off, they... They had the

00:14:02.179 --> 00:14:04.539
intelligence to strike that initial meeting where

00:14:04.539 --> 00:14:07.820
Khomeini was there with his 40 senior leadership.

00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:10.860
That happened, which was unthinkable in terms

00:14:10.860 --> 00:14:15.580
of an intelligence success. And then they think

00:14:15.580 --> 00:14:17.600
it's okay to have another meeting with the next

00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:19.179
layer of people that are going to vote. And they

00:14:19.179 --> 00:14:22.320
get destroyed. I mean, okay. Thank you for making

00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:25.580
it easy. Marco Rubio said that this is the tip

00:14:25.580 --> 00:14:28.500
of the iceberg. I mean, they have... lined up

00:14:28.500 --> 00:14:31.340
some incredible responses that are about to happen

00:14:31.340 --> 00:14:33.480
i don't know what that means and maybe they're

00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:37.919
trying to make the regime in iran uh uncomfortable

00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:41.500
which good well i think the u .s has a lot of

00:14:41.500 --> 00:14:44.940
military technology that no one is aware of yep

00:14:44.940 --> 00:14:47.740
and they're testing and it's being secret alien

00:14:47.740 --> 00:14:49.960
stuff just like i think the way they knocked

00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:54.559
out a lot of the uh the the rockets and the missiles

00:14:55.129 --> 00:14:57.370
They've used a lot of cyber warfare and space

00:14:57.370 --> 00:15:00.309
comm to knock all that communication down. Right.

00:15:00.509 --> 00:15:03.490
So. It's impressive shit, man. Mark, weigh in.

00:15:03.529 --> 00:15:08.250
You're looking at the. I agree. Oh, yes. He can't

00:15:08.250 --> 00:15:10.289
say a word. I tell you what, I saw some footage

00:15:10.289 --> 00:15:12.230
that Tel Aviv is getting hammered right now as

00:15:12.230 --> 00:15:14.549
well, or they have. I saw some footage where.

00:15:14.590 --> 00:15:16.570
There's a lot of missiles left, man. Where. They

00:15:16.570 --> 00:15:19.129
have a lot. Yeah. We're probably going to run

00:15:19.129 --> 00:15:21.649
out of dome. Yeah. Safety dome. There's some

00:15:21.649 --> 00:15:24.710
footage where, I don't know, 15, 20. Just came

00:15:24.710 --> 00:15:27.549
raining down in the middle of Tel Aviv just destroying

00:15:27.549 --> 00:15:32.429
a bunch of shit. Now, some of that is AI. I fucking

00:15:32.429 --> 00:15:36.049
hate AI. I know. But Twitter or X has said, if

00:15:36.049 --> 00:15:38.450
you put war footage on there and it's AI and

00:15:38.450 --> 00:15:40.409
you're not specifically stating that it's AI,

00:15:40.549 --> 00:15:43.149
we will kick you off the platform. So that one

00:15:43.149 --> 00:15:44.889
where it looks like he's filming it off the balcony,

00:15:45.230 --> 00:15:47.210
this one right here, that's AI. Yeah, that's

00:15:47.210 --> 00:15:51.470
all fake. That's got to be. It 100 % looks AI.

00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:54.440
Yeah, look at that cloud. Is that really what

00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:56.340
a cloud kind of looks like? It's like a whale

00:15:56.340 --> 00:15:58.279
tail. I mean, this looks like a Star Wars scene.

00:15:58.500 --> 00:16:01.580
Yeah, it's like Missile Command from Atari 2600.

00:16:01.580 --> 00:16:04.899
Oh, Tel Aviv is getting hit. Okay. Yeah. So wrong.

00:16:04.899 --> 00:16:07.220
And again, people will flag it. People will say,

00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.419
you know, that's. So that is. Okay, good. But

00:16:11.419 --> 00:16:14.820
if they leave that up there. I fell for it. Yeah.

00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:19.299
But not that bombs aren't hitting places, but

00:16:19.299 --> 00:16:22.090
not to that extent. Well, like I said, you know,

00:16:22.149 --> 00:16:25.129
that's fucking AI is problematic. It is problematic.

00:16:25.629 --> 00:16:27.570
I mean, it's just going to get worse, too. We've

00:16:27.570 --> 00:16:31.690
said that many, many times now. Anyway, we don't

00:16:31.690 --> 00:16:33.490
know what's real anymore. Right? That's the problem.

00:16:33.850 --> 00:16:36.029
It's fog of war. Is that really my wife's hand

00:16:36.029 --> 00:16:40.289
on me? I don't know. Is it AI? What is that all

00:16:40.289 --> 00:16:43.850
about? Okay, that's real. That's AI. Is she naked?

00:16:44.269 --> 00:16:47.029
Top naked. Are they allowed to show that? They

00:16:47.029 --> 00:16:49.730
are now. What do you mean they? They show like

00:16:49.730 --> 00:16:52.809
full on penetration on Twitter, dude. I mean,

00:16:52.809 --> 00:16:55.389
on Twitter, they don't. Twitter has no parental

00:16:55.389 --> 00:16:56.970
guidance. No, there's nothing, man. There's like

00:16:56.970 --> 00:17:01.269
full butthole. Oh, I'm not. Did you say full

00:17:01.269 --> 00:17:04.329
butthole? Oh, yeah. I don't prove. That's not

00:17:04.329 --> 00:17:07.230
in my feed. Full butthole. Well, actually it

00:17:07.230 --> 00:17:10.250
was because I had to say butthole. But I was

00:17:10.250 --> 00:17:13.309
on Twitter reading the news and I went down to

00:17:13.309 --> 00:17:15.329
the comments. It was like the second picture

00:17:15.329 --> 00:17:18.660
was. This chick getting banged. And I was sitting

00:17:18.660 --> 00:17:21.700
there next to my wife. And I was like, this just

00:17:21.700 --> 00:17:25.140
came up on my Twitter feed. She was like, shocked.

00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:26.720
And you're like, do you want to watch it together?

00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:28.960
Is Sean sharing that account? I'm sure it's a

00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:32.579
log. That's what I say. That's my cover. She

00:17:32.579 --> 00:17:34.319
got bad. Fucking Sean sent it. She's like, why

00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:36.660
is it on? I was like, I didn't ask for that.

00:17:36.900 --> 00:17:40.079
I scrolled down one comment, and there it was.

00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:45.430
Is this a promotional opportunity? Do we want

00:17:45.430 --> 00:17:47.750
to say who this segment was brought to you by?

00:17:47.910 --> 00:17:52.230
This segment was brought by Empire of... I don't

00:17:52.230 --> 00:17:55.769
know. I mean, it's the empire out there in the

00:17:55.769 --> 00:17:59.829
Iran, you know? The Iranian empire. Okay, so

00:17:59.829 --> 00:18:05.089
was that AI, do we think? Whatever that... Fireworks.

00:18:05.329 --> 00:18:08.690
The red city? So the question is what now? What

00:18:08.690 --> 00:18:12.609
now? What's the plan now? I mean, you've got

00:18:12.609 --> 00:18:15.410
a lot of people, 80 % of the people in Iran,

00:18:15.549 --> 00:18:18.529
from what I understand. You've got 20 % in control

00:18:18.529 --> 00:18:21.109
and 80%. A lot of these guys are Christian. Iran

00:18:21.109 --> 00:18:25.509
wasn't what it used to be. They were like 70

00:18:25.509 --> 00:18:30.470
% Christian. The theocracy is unpopular. Nobody

00:18:30.470 --> 00:18:33.670
wants a regime in there. It's still Sharia law

00:18:33.670 --> 00:18:35.650
within their community. There might be Christians

00:18:35.650 --> 00:18:37.130
there. There might be a ton of Muslims there.

00:18:37.630 --> 00:18:39.930
Predominantly Muslims, but they're not on board

00:18:39.930 --> 00:18:43.970
with this hardline Sharia law theocracy. In my

00:18:43.970 --> 00:18:47.849
naive mind, I thought if you live in an Islamic

00:18:47.849 --> 00:18:53.230
state, you are on board with all of it. I always

00:18:53.230 --> 00:18:59.009
thought everybody in Iran is a very radicalized

00:18:59.009 --> 00:19:01.630
Muslim. No. That's not the case. Not the case

00:19:01.630 --> 00:19:05.230
at all. Not even close. Hey, oppression is oppression.

00:19:05.589 --> 00:19:08.529
Yeah. Tyranny is tyranny. Right. And people don't

00:19:08.529 --> 00:19:10.650
dig tyranny. I mean, I love the videos. I love

00:19:10.650 --> 00:19:13.690
the videos of them in the street just going crazy.

00:19:14.130 --> 00:19:18.549
Even the Iranians here in the U .S. doing the

00:19:18.549 --> 00:19:22.309
same thing. I mean, why can't we just have, and

00:19:22.309 --> 00:19:23.990
I've brought this up before, why can't we have

00:19:23.990 --> 00:19:27.539
a Quran 2 .0? You know? That just kind of eliminates

00:19:27.539 --> 00:19:29.279
certain things. I mean, we did it with our Bible.

00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:31.480
I mean, we kind of cherry picked some great stuff.

00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:34.019
I'm not even familiar with that one. Well, Quran

00:19:34.019 --> 00:19:38.420
1 .0 is instilling Sharia law by the action of

00:19:38.420 --> 00:19:42.339
jihadists taking over the world. You know, there's

00:19:42.339 --> 00:19:46.980
two parts of the world that the Muslim's Islamist

00:19:46.980 --> 00:19:49.480
regime is. It's basically you have the world

00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:51.900
with Islam and you have the world without Islam.

00:19:52.099 --> 00:19:57.259
Yes. And so the goal of the... the Quran is to

00:19:57.259 --> 00:20:00.859
convert everyone to either Islam or they can

00:20:00.859 --> 00:20:02.940
be, you can either kill them or they can be your

00:20:02.940 --> 00:20:05.259
slave. Or you pay taxes. That's where the Islamic

00:20:05.259 --> 00:20:07.579
state is. I don't think the majority of the Muslims

00:20:07.579 --> 00:20:10.579
are like that. I agree with that too. But that's

00:20:10.579 --> 00:20:13.039
what the Quran says to do. Show Sean that. I

00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:15.279
don't want to see it. Speaking of buttholes.

00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:19.839
I don't want to see it. You can radicalize any

00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:23.599
group. I'm Catholic. Think about what happened

00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:28.390
during the Ireland? No, not the Renaissance,

00:20:28.710 --> 00:20:32.670
but what am I saying? The Crusades. The Crusades,

00:20:32.670 --> 00:20:35.769
yeah. But the Crusades were a result of the Muslims.

00:20:36.410 --> 00:20:40.309
The Crusades were the Christians trying to take

00:20:40.309 --> 00:20:42.670
out the Muslims. The Muslims, correct. But I

00:20:42.670 --> 00:20:43.890
mean, think of everything that they were doing.

00:20:43.930 --> 00:20:46.549
They were trying to instill their belief, their

00:20:46.549 --> 00:20:50.029
religion. and saying our religion is better.

00:20:50.349 --> 00:20:55.130
I get what you're saying. That was a little different

00:20:55.130 --> 00:20:58.130
though. It was an action because the Muslims

00:20:58.130 --> 00:21:02.690
were moving in and they were just... It was contested

00:21:02.690 --> 00:21:07.690
holy land in Israel. Contested holy land. The

00:21:07.690 --> 00:21:10.509
Islamic people said it was holy to them. The

00:21:10.509 --> 00:21:13.450
Christians said it was holy to them. It was always

00:21:13.450 --> 00:21:18.210
been contested. Pilgrims, Christian pilgrims,

00:21:18.539 --> 00:21:21.400
were making the pilgrimage to the Holy Land,

00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:26.259
and they were being slaughtered by Muslims. So

00:21:26.259 --> 00:21:29.039
the king of whatever, the king of England, I

00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:31.700
guess, or whoever, or the pope. It was the king

00:21:31.700 --> 00:21:33.160
of England. The pope was involved, too. It was

00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:35.740
definitely a papal. Yeah, the pope was involved

00:21:35.740 --> 00:21:39.039
because he said, the pilgrims need to be protected.

00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:41.960
And this is what a piece of shit that the king

00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:46.240
of England was. So he hired these Christians.

00:21:47.360 --> 00:21:50.160
The Templar. Right. Nice Templar. Nice Templar.

00:21:50.180 --> 00:21:52.160
And to go out there and slaughter these guys,

00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:54.119
take them off because all they're doing is killing

00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:56.619
the Christians. And then when they came back

00:21:56.619 --> 00:22:00.359
to England to get paid, the King of England was

00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:04.900
like, yeah. Not so much. So anyways. Oh, look,

00:22:04.980 --> 00:22:06.859
guys, look, they just made fun of me. Kill them

00:22:06.859 --> 00:22:09.740
all. Kill them all. And so he put out an order

00:22:09.740 --> 00:22:11.539
to kill the King's Templar. Isn't that just fucked

00:22:11.539 --> 00:22:14.500
up? Yeah, but the challenge of all this is. They

00:22:14.500 --> 00:22:16.819
want to pay him. The challenge of the Crusades

00:22:16.819 --> 00:22:19.799
is that in the quest to protect all the pilgrimage,

00:22:20.019 --> 00:22:23.980
the pilgrims, they committed horrendous atrocities.

00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:26.359
Sure. Yeah, yeah. Right? They were probably killing

00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:28.740
women and children in villages, killing as many

00:22:28.740 --> 00:22:30.759
Muslims as they possibly could. Right. You know,

00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:33.220
under the guise of— It was a purge. Yeah. I mean,

00:22:33.220 --> 00:22:35.579
and that's not okay. Under the guise of a religious

00:22:35.579 --> 00:22:36.940
belief, right? Yes, protecting the pilgrims.

00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:40.359
Yeah. I mean, so both sides can say that they

00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:42.569
were both horrible to each other. Right? I mean,

00:22:42.589 --> 00:22:45.710
so, yeah. Yeah, but still, one was the reaction

00:22:45.710 --> 00:22:47.609
of the other. One was the aggressor, so to speak.

00:22:47.750 --> 00:22:50.490
Yeah, so, I mean, yeah, it wasn't good, but war's

00:22:50.490 --> 00:22:51.950
not good. It doesn't matter what side of the

00:22:51.950 --> 00:22:54.329
field you're on. War is bad. I mean, and what

00:22:54.329 --> 00:22:56.670
is the other story which occurred in Iran? The

00:22:56.670 --> 00:23:01.430
buzz is that we hit a base where there was a

00:23:01.430 --> 00:23:05.130
school over it, and we killed 250 kids. Is that

00:23:05.130 --> 00:23:08.490
real or fake? So, here's what I heard about that,

00:23:08.549 --> 00:23:14.140
was that it was a... an Iranian missile that

00:23:14.140 --> 00:23:17.119
went astray. That's what I heard. But, I mean,

00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:18.859
how do you... It depends on who you ask. Exactly.

00:23:18.940 --> 00:23:21.579
How do you validate either one of those things?

00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:24.000
Unless there's footage of someone filming it.

00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:28.160
There it goes. Right. Yes, exactly. And I will

00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:29.920
tell you... He said, she said type of thing.

00:23:30.099 --> 00:23:33.960
Hamas, Hezbollah, Iraq, back when it had Saddam

00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:38.099
Hussein, and Iran have a history of zero credibility

00:23:38.099 --> 00:23:41.250
when it comes to... That kind of stuff. Absolutely.

00:23:41.410 --> 00:23:45.250
Yeah. So in my opinion, the first thing I think

00:23:45.250 --> 00:23:48.490
is they're inflating their numbers. Yes. It wasn't

00:23:48.490 --> 00:23:51.210
even either didn't get hit or it was by your

00:23:51.210 --> 00:23:53.250
own missile. Right. Exactly. That's my default.

00:23:53.430 --> 00:23:55.490
Yeah. Now you have to convince me otherwise because

00:23:55.490 --> 00:23:57.990
of their history, because of their lack of credibility.

00:23:58.029 --> 00:24:01.049
Again, show me a video. Right. And I'll and at

00:24:01.049 --> 00:24:04.250
that point, what kind of is that? Oh, yeah. We'll

00:24:04.250 --> 00:24:06.869
just go to go to AI and make one. Right. Well,

00:24:06.910 --> 00:24:08.660
there's lots of. kind of videos up there. I know.

00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:11.200
It's awful. It's ridiculous. You can't trust

00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:13.480
shit these days, man. I know. So what are the

00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:15.859
next... Okay, so they are basically... Because

00:24:15.859 --> 00:24:18.059
they have so many missiles and so many mobile

00:24:18.059 --> 00:24:20.339
launchers and so many hidden launchers and all

00:24:20.339 --> 00:24:22.720
that kind of stuff, that's why it wasn't 100

00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:25.480
% where they could stop every missile. But they

00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:27.579
are showing that it's going gradually lower,

00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:29.660
lower, lower, lower, lower, lower. Eventually,

00:24:29.660 --> 00:24:31.400
at some point... They're going to run out. They're

00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:33.259
going to run out or they're going to kill...

00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:34.740
They're just going to blow up every launcher

00:24:34.740 --> 00:24:36.700
they can. Right. And there will be none left

00:24:36.700 --> 00:24:39.140
to launch. Okay. Right. So then at that point,

00:24:39.220 --> 00:24:43.619
you know, then the tensions settle down. Because

00:24:43.619 --> 00:24:45.960
remember, these missiles are hitting neighboring

00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:48.539
Islamic countries. Yeah, they're shooting over

00:24:48.539 --> 00:24:52.720
Qatar. Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE. Yep,

00:24:52.779 --> 00:24:54.759
all of them. And they're like, what the fuck?

00:24:54.819 --> 00:24:56.779
And they're talking about retaliation. No, they

00:24:56.779 --> 00:24:59.460
are requesting that their warplanes contribute

00:24:59.460 --> 00:25:02.900
to the bombing and the attacks. That's how pissed

00:25:02.900 --> 00:25:05.440
off they are. Yeah. And by the way, they've been

00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:07.319
pissed off at Iran forever. But you know what?

00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:09.119
They can never say anything. They live right

00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:11.819
next to him. Yes. And Iran is a massive menace.

00:25:11.859 --> 00:25:15.359
Right. Everybody is going to cheer when this

00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:18.579
theocracy is toppled and they are not an absolute

00:25:18.579 --> 00:25:21.579
menace to the rest of the world, especially the

00:25:21.579 --> 00:25:24.039
Middle East. Everyone is going to be happy. Yeah.

00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:27.940
No, I agree. Now you have Afghanistan and Pakistan

00:25:27.940 --> 00:25:31.529
getting into it as well. Yeah. Well, the Taliban

00:25:31.529 --> 00:25:33.269
are fucking with Pakistan and they don't like

00:25:33.269 --> 00:25:37.789
it. Yep. Well, they have all that military equipment

00:25:37.789 --> 00:25:40.569
that Joe Biden left behind. You know what? They

00:25:40.569 --> 00:25:44.890
do. But they don't have the keys. Not true. Not

00:25:44.890 --> 00:25:47.029
true. See if you can look up something for me.

00:25:47.190 --> 00:25:50.529
They were talking about how Afghanistan soldiers

00:25:50.529 --> 00:25:54.089
were using, they were touting that they had laser

00:25:54.089 --> 00:25:56.819
something. And I'm like, that's the fucking equipment

00:25:56.819 --> 00:25:58.859
that we left behind. Yes, it is. They called

00:25:58.859 --> 00:26:00.720
it laser something. They probably called it.

00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:04.099
We've got some laser or something. Yes. I'm not

00:26:04.099 --> 00:26:05.619
kidding. They don't even know what it is. Even

00:26:05.619 --> 00:26:09.079
when I read it, I chuckled because I was like,

00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:11.099
they don't even know that it's like night vision

00:26:11.099 --> 00:26:13.819
something or other. They're LGB. Oh, yeah. So

00:26:13.819 --> 00:26:19.180
one question that I've had for years is countries

00:26:19.180 --> 00:26:23.859
like Iran. Do they have the technology to build

00:26:23.859 --> 00:26:25.319
all this stuff themselves? Yeah, they build a

00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:28.180
shit ton of drones for Russia right now. So one

00:26:28.180 --> 00:26:30.200
of the side effects of all this, if Iran falls,

00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:32.519
Russia's really going to struggle because their

00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:36.599
drone supply is going to fail. China's not going

00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:40.099
to get their oil. That's a big part of it. Yeah,

00:26:40.099 --> 00:26:41.380
so there's a big part of that. Germany's not

00:26:41.380 --> 00:26:44.039
going to get their oil. Well, who buys, does

00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:46.240
Germany buy oil from Iran? I guess so, because

00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:48.559
they're kind of heated. They buy from Russia.

00:26:48.990 --> 00:26:50.509
Yeah, they buy from Russia. They buy from Russia.

00:26:50.990 --> 00:26:56.049
So the drones come from Iran for... 80 % from

00:26:56.049 --> 00:26:58.450
Russia. Yeah, from Russia. So, you know, that's

00:26:58.450 --> 00:27:01.190
going to impact that. So check this. This is

00:27:01.190 --> 00:27:04.650
a crazy story. So, yes, Russia, I mean, Iran

00:27:04.650 --> 00:27:07.769
makes very effective drones, right? Very inexpensive,

00:27:08.049 --> 00:27:11.480
massively produced. Like it's so fast to make

00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:13.740
them. Right. And we've been criticized for every

00:27:13.740 --> 00:27:15.259
time we're knocking something out of the sky

00:27:15.259 --> 00:27:17.440
or it's a million dollar missile. Right. Right.

00:27:17.460 --> 00:27:18.900
And we're going to run out of that shit. Right.

00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:24.059
They reversed engineered Iranian drones. Who's

00:27:24.059 --> 00:27:25.839
they? We did. We did. Yeah. The United States

00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:28.880
reverse engineered the Iranian drones, linked

00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:33.099
it to Starlink. And now it's a vicious, absolutely

00:27:33.099 --> 00:27:36.519
vicious drone. American drones. American drones

00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:39.880
that are copies. of the Iranian drones. So I

00:27:39.880 --> 00:27:41.700
wonder why we would have to, why would we have

00:27:41.700 --> 00:27:44.440
to reverse engineer Iranian drones? I was shocked

00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:47.900
too. But apparently, they just found a fast,

00:27:48.180 --> 00:27:50.700
they're not stupid people. They're not. No. They

00:27:50.700 --> 00:27:53.420
have nuclear engineers and they're smart people.

00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:55.940
And so they developed something that the United

00:27:55.940 --> 00:27:57.480
States was like, you know what? Statistically,

00:27:57.559 --> 00:27:59.859
they're one of the smartest people on the planet.

00:27:59.960 --> 00:28:04.779
Right. And so they, well, they don't live in

00:28:04.779 --> 00:28:09.579
my neighborhood. I said planet. Did they go to

00:28:09.579 --> 00:28:12.880
Frisco schools? I don't think so. Anyway, that's

00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:15.539
a crazy story. So how scary are the drones? I

00:28:15.539 --> 00:28:18.220
mean, there is... Well, if it's going to kill

00:28:18.220 --> 00:28:19.920
you, we could pretty scary. No, what I'm saying,

00:28:20.059 --> 00:28:22.920
how they're extremely scary. I mean, you strap

00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:26.440
a bomb to it and you can navigate it from a bunker.

00:28:26.819 --> 00:28:30.640
I don't even know how... Far away you have to

00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:33.400
be from a drone to control it, but how scary

00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:36.460
is that? Well, Russia is, because they built

00:28:36.460 --> 00:28:39.619
these machines to screw up the controls of the

00:28:39.619 --> 00:28:42.099
drones. Jam them. So what's going on now, now

00:28:42.099 --> 00:28:45.259
they attach fiber optic. So now you've got miles

00:28:45.259 --> 00:28:48.500
and miles and miles of fiber optic cable. All

00:28:48.500 --> 00:28:50.819
over the place. Between the drone and the controller.

00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:53.440
Oh, wow, yeah. And that's what Russia's doing.

00:28:53.579 --> 00:28:57.259
So now over Ukraine is all the... All this fiber

00:28:57.259 --> 00:28:59.000
optic cable. Yeah, it looks like spider web.

00:28:59.099 --> 00:29:02.119
Yeah, just laying there, just miles and miles

00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:04.940
of it. And they're used to remotely control these

00:29:04.940 --> 00:29:07.559
drones? Yep. They shoot off. They can't be jammed.

00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:10.200
Yeah, so they can't be jammed. So it's hardwired.

00:29:10.579 --> 00:29:14.480
Jeez. It's just this little thread of fiber optic.

00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:18.640
Oh, my God. Crazy. That is crazy. When this war

00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:21.359
does finally end at some point, it's going to

00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:24.690
be a massive cleanup operation. And we'll probably

00:29:24.690 --> 00:29:27.089
have to fund that. I mean, do you think it's

00:29:27.089 --> 00:29:29.390
going to end? I really don't. I don't think it's

00:29:29.390 --> 00:29:31.349
going to end. It has to at some point. No. The

00:29:31.349 --> 00:29:34.609
only way to end it, in my opinion, truly, is

00:29:34.609 --> 00:29:38.950
to come up with the Quran New Testament. What,

00:29:39.049 --> 00:29:42.029
Ukraine and Russia? Is that what you're talking

00:29:42.029 --> 00:29:43.869
about? Yeah. Okay. No, I'm not talking about

00:29:43.869 --> 00:29:45.589
that. Yeah, yeah. No, we're talking about Ukraine

00:29:45.589 --> 00:29:47.829
and Russia. It absolutely has to come to an end.

00:29:47.829 --> 00:29:49.690
Oh, Ukraine and Russia. No, I was talking about...

00:29:49.690 --> 00:29:51.490
Putin needs to... Oh, this one? The Iranian.

00:29:51.809 --> 00:29:53.450
The only way to do it. Well, that one, they...

00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:55.200
They've got to alter their religion because this

00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:57.500
is an ideology, which is never going to happen.

00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:00.200
That's my point. I disagree, though. I disagree

00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:01.819
with that as well. I disagree. They do not have

00:30:01.819 --> 00:30:04.940
to change their religion. They have to not allow

00:30:04.940 --> 00:30:08.779
a theocracy, a hardline Sharia law theocracy

00:30:08.779 --> 00:30:10.640
to run that country. The people need to have

00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:12.480
freedom. But it's part of the Koran. But they

00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:14.400
all don't follow that. No, they don't. I agree

00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:16.099
with you on that. They don't. The majority don't.

00:30:16.119 --> 00:30:19.259
But the Koran demands it. But if you don't follow

00:30:19.259 --> 00:30:21.240
it, it doesn't matter. That's why I'm saying

00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:24.220
come up with another 2 .0 that doesn't include

00:30:24.220 --> 00:30:28.000
that, and let's start following that one. Not

00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:30.000
everybody follows everything in the Bible either.

00:30:30.779 --> 00:30:33.599
There are dozens and dozens of Islamic countries.

00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:36.000
There are dozens and dozens of Islamic countries

00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:41.299
that are peaceful. They're not run by a hardline

00:30:41.299 --> 00:30:45.460
theocracy like the Taliban. the dead Khomeini

00:30:45.460 --> 00:30:47.539
now right you know what I mean so I understand

00:30:47.539 --> 00:30:49.759
what you're saying there is a there is a core

00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:52.059
fundamental conflict between Christianity and

00:30:52.059 --> 00:30:54.539
Islam that's why I'm so excited about you know

00:30:54.539 --> 00:30:58.440
this opportunity where if there are aliens again

00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:01.680
this is a repeat conversation if there are aliens

00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:05.700
that are out there fucking land Let's get this

00:31:05.700 --> 00:31:08.119
over with. And let's just say, hey, man, by the

00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:11.480
way, we goofed. There's no such thing as this

00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:13.420
and this and that. And it kind of dissolves that

00:31:13.420 --> 00:31:16.119
whole program. And they tell us who the creator

00:31:16.119 --> 00:31:17.640
of the universe is. They'll be like, hey, you

00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:20.440
know what? It was fucking Joey over here. This

00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:22.000
little alien comes out of the spaceship. He goes.

00:31:22.250 --> 00:31:24.990
It's me. I created the universe, guys. See that

00:31:24.990 --> 00:31:27.829
thing on the wall over there? That was me. I'm

00:31:27.829 --> 00:31:29.750
just saying that I don't know what kind of solution.

00:31:29.809 --> 00:31:32.069
To me, that's really the only solution is really

00:31:32.069 --> 00:31:35.269
to have some sort of higher power that comes

00:31:35.269 --> 00:31:38.480
and poses on us. Who knows, man? I mean, it's

00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:40.299
been around for a long time. We have no idea.

00:31:40.380 --> 00:31:42.180
I will say the only thing that could probably

00:31:42.180 --> 00:31:45.519
ever unite humans, despite all of our unbelievable

00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:48.119
differences, is if aliens do attack the Earth.

00:31:48.259 --> 00:31:50.200
That's right. And we all have to. We don't have

00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:52.279
a choice. Come together. It's either us or the

00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:54.400
creepy aliens. I don't know. I mean, any time

00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:58.180
that you try to get someone or make someone believe

00:31:58.180 --> 00:32:01.359
what you believe, that's the problem. That's

00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:03.559
the problem. I mean, I don't care what it is

00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:06.450
that you're trying to. make them believe. Trying

00:32:06.450 --> 00:32:08.250
to get them to believe something's a little bit

00:32:08.250 --> 00:32:10.109
different from just an argument standpoint. That's

00:32:10.109 --> 00:32:12.289
what social media is all about in our news. That's

00:32:12.289 --> 00:32:14.230
why I dropped Facebook in 2015 because I was

00:32:14.230 --> 00:32:16.910
tired of people trying to tell me that I need

00:32:16.910 --> 00:32:19.670
to think like a Democrat and them not listening

00:32:19.670 --> 00:32:21.369
to my counterpoint. I was just like, fuck it,

00:32:21.390 --> 00:32:24.250
I'm out. I haven't been back. God, nothing makes

00:32:24.250 --> 00:32:26.640
my... blood boil more than reading the comments

00:32:26.640 --> 00:32:29.440
of social media. And then I have to stop. I have

00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:31.819
to stop. You never read the comments. It's so

00:32:31.819 --> 00:32:35.859
viral. I'm over it now, though. I like to troll

00:32:35.859 --> 00:32:37.900
every now and then, but it's just like, I'll

00:32:37.900 --> 00:32:41.400
just do a couple statements. Go on Reddit. You

00:32:41.400 --> 00:32:44.799
will vomit when you read all that. Every single

00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:48.140
fucking thread on there is just a liberal bastion

00:32:48.140 --> 00:32:50.440
of shit. Well, that's because they kick off all

00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:52.680
the conservatives. Oh, it is fucking ridiculous.

00:32:53.849 --> 00:32:56.029
How bad it is. You can't say a conservative thing

00:32:56.029 --> 00:33:00.289
on Reddit. Yeah, even because I read it for certain

00:33:00.289 --> 00:33:02.269
things, like grilling meat or something like

00:33:02.269 --> 00:33:04.450
that. Right. And then you're going to. And they're

00:33:04.450 --> 00:33:07.309
like, you like meat? Yes. Yeah, right. Fucking

00:33:07.309 --> 00:33:09.950
conservative. Fascist. You maggot piece of shit.

00:33:10.130 --> 00:33:11.869
You're a fascist. Well, my meat trumps your chicken.

00:33:12.069 --> 00:33:15.730
Yeah. Oh, did you say Trump? Oh, my God. Kick

00:33:15.730 --> 00:33:19.750
him off. It is ridiculous how it is. It's irrational.

00:33:20.420 --> 00:33:22.000
I've almost stopped going on there. I was like,

00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:23.900
I don't even want to look at the two or three

00:33:23.900 --> 00:33:25.279
that I actually look at. It makes your blood

00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:28.599
boil. I know. It's like, fuck it, man. You guys

00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:32.440
are losers. Man, I saw a video and it was from

00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:35.960
a Smoothie King. And it was this girl that worked

00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:38.779
at Smoothie King. Was she hot? No, not even close.

00:33:39.099 --> 00:33:42.799
She was videoing herself and then the customers

00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:44.900
were videoing it as well. So you kind of have

00:33:44.900 --> 00:33:48.039
both angles. Two angles, yeah. And it was a...

00:33:48.619 --> 00:33:51.859
A black couple that walked in, and he was wearing

00:33:51.859 --> 00:33:54.440
a, I didn't see it, but it was either a MAGA

00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:57.579
hat or a Trump t -shirt or something. Okay. And

00:33:57.579 --> 00:34:02.059
the girl behind the counter said, I refuse service

00:34:02.059 --> 00:34:05.119
to you. And she made it a big thing. She was

00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:06.900
videoing herself. She was showing herself denying

00:34:06.900 --> 00:34:08.920
them service. 100%. Well, that's a good idea.

00:34:09.059 --> 00:34:11.360
And the customers were like, what are you doing

00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:13.340
this for? Well, you obviously support Trump,

00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:17.239
and we can refuse service to anybody. And it

00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:20.980
turned into a, you know, a big back and forth.

00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:23.659
And, you know, all the comments were completely

00:34:23.659 --> 00:34:27.800
out of control. Oh, yeah. And I'm like, that

00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:31.320
drives me crazy. The fastest way to get fired.

00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:33.559
Drives me crazy. Do you have any audio of that?

00:34:34.380 --> 00:34:36.159
So this is the fastest way to get fired from

00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:39.360
your job. Yeah, it was. I don't know if that

00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:40.559
was the girl. It looked like the girl, though.

00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:46.500
I think that's it. Yeah. Oh, my God. And it was

00:34:46.500 --> 00:34:48.760
all because, yeah, so this is the customer. Yeah,

00:34:48.760 --> 00:34:51.639
we're at Smoothie King, and they're discriminating

00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:54.119
and saying we cannot get service because Jake

00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:58.000
has a Trump service on. Well, maybe they're not

00:34:58.000 --> 00:34:59.360
African American. I thought they were black.

00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:02.440
I think that's Smoothie King. Yeah, the server

00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:04.500
is. You're Persian. You literally looked at us,

00:35:04.500 --> 00:35:06.559
and I asked you if everything was okay. You said

00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:08.280
we don't feel comfortable serving you because

00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:10.239
of my husband's hoodie. That is discrimination.

00:35:11.960 --> 00:35:18.099
That is illegal. So this is a privately owned

00:35:18.099 --> 00:35:21.039
Smoothie King, and basically Smoothie King kind

00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:24.179
of backed off and said, yeah, we don't do that.

00:35:24.539 --> 00:35:27.840
Of course not. No business can do that. I mean,

00:35:27.940 --> 00:35:29.280
it's not going to end well. Privately owned.

00:35:29.420 --> 00:35:30.900
I would think if you are the... If it's your

00:35:30.900 --> 00:35:32.280
own company, privately owned, you can do what

00:35:32.280 --> 00:35:34.440
you want. But even if it's a franchise, you have

00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:36.400
standards that you have to appease. Correct.

00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:38.840
It's just never going to end well. Does that

00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:41.199
person lose their job, or they just got told,

00:35:41.420 --> 00:35:44.170
oh, you know. You have to help them, serve them.

00:35:44.329 --> 00:35:47.349
Right. Unbelievable. Two employees involved are

00:35:47.349 --> 00:35:49.230
no longer with the business. There we go. They're

00:35:49.230 --> 00:35:51.570
going to go work somewhere else. It is silly,

00:35:51.730 --> 00:35:53.050
because at the end of the day, who gives a shit?

00:35:53.150 --> 00:35:54.829
Just give them a damn smoothie and be... No.

00:35:54.829 --> 00:35:58.030
I'm so over it. Yeah. Smooth on. Again, every

00:35:58.030 --> 00:36:01.409
time I see something... I'm very selective on

00:36:01.409 --> 00:36:04.510
what... I hardly ever do it. Sometimes I just

00:36:04.510 --> 00:36:08.449
like to poke the bear, and I don't ever respond

00:36:08.449 --> 00:36:10.880
a second time. You know, I read it. I'm like,

00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:13.619
and then it's kind of like turn it off and just

00:36:13.619 --> 00:36:15.380
walk away from it. So you're like the dry as

00:36:15.380 --> 00:36:20.320
fuck guy. Yeah, I guess. I got trolled. All right.

00:36:20.340 --> 00:36:23.159
Give a little context. I got trolled. And it

00:36:23.159 --> 00:36:26.059
worked. It did. Oh, he did. You got all bent

00:36:26.059 --> 00:36:27.840
out of shape. We had an event over at Paul's

00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:29.960
house and it involved Paul making a brisket.

00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:33.260
And we're videotaping it. It got a lot of hits.

00:36:33.360 --> 00:36:37.909
And someone responded, dry AF. So here's the

00:36:37.909 --> 00:36:40.570
thing. Here's the thing. Hold on. Hold on. People

00:36:40.570 --> 00:36:43.869
you know are just some random dude. Some random

00:36:43.869 --> 00:36:45.769
dude. Anyway, so here's the thing. That was awesome.

00:36:45.889 --> 00:36:47.590
Here's the thing. It's always been a thing. It's

00:36:47.590 --> 00:36:49.610
like, okay, this brisket's going to be good.

00:36:50.679 --> 00:36:53.760
Make your tweaks. And it's like a man thing.

00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:55.960
Who's going to have a really good brisket? Who's

00:36:55.960 --> 00:36:57.420
going to make one that's really juicy and yummy?

00:36:57.579 --> 00:37:00.599
A bunch of guys all around, knives swirling,

00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:02.860
getting cut. Jeff's like, I have no problem.

00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:06.780
No one's ever said dry as fuck to me. Asshole.

00:37:07.300 --> 00:37:10.760
Anyway, so I was happy with it. And then I was

00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:12.260
cutting it and it was kind of juicy and looking

00:37:12.260 --> 00:37:14.519
good. I was like, yeah, this is a good one. Dry

00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:19.940
AF. And I was like, ugh. And I go, And then they

00:37:19.940 --> 00:37:23.480
told me, don't respond. Don't let them win. He

00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:25.880
responded. And I did. And I was like, all right,

00:37:25.880 --> 00:37:27.900
show me yours. Show me yours. Let me see yours.

00:37:27.940 --> 00:37:29.119
Let me see your meat. Yeah, let me see yours.

00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:30.920
Let me see your meat. All I said is, let me see

00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:33.039
yours. And then he sent a junk pic. And I was

00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:37.679
like, ooh, I like it. Juicy. Look at that. So

00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:40.980
girthy. Anyway, he didn't respond after that.

00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:44.039
But he probably was like, I got him. He did.

00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:48.440
Good stuff. He did get me, but not anymore. Did

00:37:48.440 --> 00:37:51.719
you guys see any of the interview, or I shouldn't

00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:53.659
say the interview, it was an interview with Hillary

00:37:53.659 --> 00:37:57.980
and Bill with regard to this scene? Yeah. She

00:37:57.980 --> 00:38:01.070
apparently walked out. She got up. She slammed

00:38:01.070 --> 00:38:02.889
the table and says, I'm not going to do it. Because

00:38:02.889 --> 00:38:04.449
I think Warren Boebert took a picture of her.

00:38:04.489 --> 00:38:06.789
Yes. Yeah, but that's not why she got mad. She

00:38:06.789 --> 00:38:07.789
didn't know about that. Well, that was one of

00:38:07.789 --> 00:38:09.969
the times. She did that? She was getting grilled,

00:38:10.090 --> 00:38:13.030
yeah. Yeah, Boebert did that. Oh, shit. She goes,

00:38:13.070 --> 00:38:16.610
yeah, I did it. That's awesome. Yeah. But my

00:38:16.610 --> 00:38:19.769
point is that they did the interview. They're

00:38:19.769 --> 00:38:22.449
asking her questions. And she got all, Hillary

00:38:22.449 --> 00:38:25.090
got all bent out of shape. I haven't seen, outside

00:38:25.090 --> 00:38:26.949
of that, her slamming the table, I haven't seen

00:38:26.949 --> 00:38:29.449
any of the footage. Oh, there's a bunch. There's

00:38:29.449 --> 00:38:31.989
a bunch. It's all public. And they're asking

00:38:31.989 --> 00:38:35.269
bizarre questions. They are trying to break her.

00:38:35.530 --> 00:38:39.170
I mean, the ones that I saw were really all about

00:38:39.170 --> 00:38:42.570
Bill. It was like, can you explain this? And

00:38:42.570 --> 00:38:45.409
you said this back in 2000 and such and such.

00:38:45.550 --> 00:38:48.449
Does that still apply today? So they're just

00:38:48.449 --> 00:38:52.510
grilling her. You can tell it's starting to step

00:38:52.510 --> 00:38:55.789
up. She loses it. Oh, you know, a decade ago,

00:38:55.869 --> 00:38:59.429
she was like, I hate you. Yes. Bill keeps sabotaging

00:38:59.429 --> 00:39:01.329
her. You don't know, but your man, you sleep

00:39:01.329 --> 00:39:02.909
with him every night, and you weren't concerned

00:39:02.909 --> 00:39:05.329
about that? Your man is on a private island sitting

00:39:05.329 --> 00:39:07.869
in a hot tub with two other women with girls

00:39:07.869 --> 00:39:09.929
giving him a back rub, and you're okay with that?

00:39:10.030 --> 00:39:13.449
No. It was a marriage of convenience. It was

00:39:13.449 --> 00:39:17.130
a marriage of convenience for both of them to...

00:39:17.389 --> 00:39:20.650
Politically have. Yes. And they brought up, which

00:39:20.650 --> 00:39:22.150
I've never heard. I'm sure this has happened

00:39:22.150 --> 00:39:24.750
before, but they brought up Monica Lewinsky and

00:39:24.750 --> 00:39:29.449
said something about, paraphrasing, but basically,

00:39:29.610 --> 00:39:33.929
you know, you were okay with, you were aware

00:39:33.929 --> 00:39:36.429
that there was infidelity with your husband and

00:39:36.429 --> 00:39:39.610
Monica Lewinsky. Oh, no. Yes. I mean, that may

00:39:39.610 --> 00:39:40.869
not be the exact. It had nothing to do with Epstein.

00:39:41.030 --> 00:39:47.409
It was basically building layers of. You were

00:39:47.409 --> 00:39:49.449
okay with what happened. What about Wanda Broderick?

00:39:49.570 --> 00:39:54.409
I don't know. And she got a check. She was like,

00:39:54.469 --> 00:39:57.050
hey guys, I got paid. Remember that? She got

00:39:57.050 --> 00:40:00.650
a check. It was so dumb. And they got away with

00:40:00.650 --> 00:40:06.690
it. It was like the Westinghouse check. She was

00:40:06.690 --> 00:40:10.030
all showing it, showboating it. Ridiculous. Are

00:40:10.030 --> 00:40:13.389
there any new updates on the percentages of the...

00:40:13.389 --> 00:40:18.079
Did Yasmin... Lose? Oh, yeah. She is getting

00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:21.119
pretty well trounced in the early vote. So, yeah.

00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:25.559
Who is? Crockett? Yasmeen. Yes. So, what? Jazzy

00:40:25.559 --> 00:40:30.380
Jazz. Down by 10%. 10 % is pretty big. So, what

00:40:30.380 --> 00:40:33.559
does she do when she loses? Does she have a job

00:40:33.559 --> 00:40:35.440
waiting for her? She's still in the Congress.

00:40:35.539 --> 00:40:37.159
She's still in Congress. She's still in Congress.

00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:39.960
Until the election, I guess, in January next

00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:43.659
year when they get sworn in. Crazy. What percent

00:40:43.659 --> 00:40:45.769
of the vote is in? Did it say anywhere? It's

00:40:45.769 --> 00:40:49.150
really just early right now. At seven, they released

00:40:49.150 --> 00:40:51.190
early votes. They haven't really had too many

00:40:51.190 --> 00:40:54.389
precincts report fully in. So, mostly Republicans

00:40:54.389 --> 00:40:56.670
will early vote based on the trends. Oh, it's

00:40:56.670 --> 00:40:59.409
only 11 % of the precincts. Democrats will usually

00:40:59.409 --> 00:41:03.489
start pounding in later. Yeah. I'm starting to

00:41:03.489 --> 00:41:08.230
see Tallarico signs around, so. So, he is apparently

00:41:08.230 --> 00:41:12.670
the better for them. Well, he's a Christian.

00:41:12.889 --> 00:41:15.090
Yeah, the better candidate. He's a religious

00:41:15.090 --> 00:41:18.110
fellow who's happened to be a progressive. Yeah.

00:41:19.469 --> 00:41:24.750
Can you hear it? Hey, it's not my fault. I'm

00:41:24.750 --> 00:41:26.929
amazed you're still sitting in it. That thing

00:41:26.929 --> 00:41:30.010
hasn't collapsed to the ground. Yeah, that's

00:41:30.010 --> 00:41:33.070
an old one. Sticky. Oh, yeah, that's the chair

00:41:33.070 --> 00:41:36.170
that... Never mind. We don't talk about that.

00:41:36.389 --> 00:41:38.269
It was quite the taco dinner that night, too,

00:41:38.309 --> 00:41:41.900
by the way. All right. How about... We're talking

00:41:41.900 --> 00:41:43.219
about the election right now. I know that. But

00:41:43.219 --> 00:41:44.840
how about a quick shout out to Empire Liquor?

00:41:46.059 --> 00:41:48.000
Yeah. Well, Empire Liquor. Well, first of all,

00:41:48.039 --> 00:41:50.079
Nesh, shout out to you. Shout out to all the

00:41:50.079 --> 00:41:53.219
guys. Matt, we had such a great... They showed

00:41:53.219 --> 00:41:55.460
up at a few of these tastings out there where

00:41:55.460 --> 00:41:57.639
we go over to Scott Cash's house. Hell, we went

00:41:57.639 --> 00:41:59.679
over to Bill's house one time and they show up

00:41:59.679 --> 00:42:04.230
and they bring a... They bring a... A collection

00:42:04.230 --> 00:42:07.550
of drinks. Are you okay, Jeff? Are you hyperventilating

00:42:07.550 --> 00:42:10.869
over there? He decided to blow into his glove.

00:42:11.110 --> 00:42:13.369
It's Empire Liquor in McKinney, Texas. It's a

00:42:13.369 --> 00:42:15.190
well -regarded liquor store known for its diverse

00:42:15.190 --> 00:42:17.230
selection of spirits, craft beers, and wines,

00:42:17.309 --> 00:42:19.369
including unique store picks and limited editions.

00:42:19.610 --> 00:42:22.250
The customers, including us, praise the store

00:42:22.250 --> 00:42:26.349
for its friendly and knowledgeable staff. Shout

00:42:26.349 --> 00:42:29.440
out to... This one's located where? In McKinney.

00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:32.840
In McKinney. That's on El Dorado. It's at 4200

00:42:32.840 --> 00:42:35.739
El Dorado Parkway in McKinney. Shout out to them.

00:42:35.800 --> 00:42:37.539
God bless them. Because you know what? They always

00:42:37.539 --> 00:42:41.579
have good stuff. It went up. But Scott goes there

00:42:41.579 --> 00:42:45.119
a lot. And they treat him right. And he was kind

00:42:45.119 --> 00:42:48.719
of like, man, you know, he gets all of the allocated

00:42:48.719 --> 00:42:50.599
stuff there. And they just treat him right. Anyway,

00:42:50.679 --> 00:42:54.599
so he made a point to talk about Empire Liquor.

00:42:55.260 --> 00:42:58.880
Are you looking for the cups? Oh, no, I got them

00:42:58.880 --> 00:43:00.699
here. Yeah, I moved them over there, Chucky.

00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:04.579
I think we need to add the Empire to our routine

00:43:04.579 --> 00:43:07.280
instead of maybe skipping the other one, maybe

00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:09.340
going up there. I think we should. Yeah, we can

00:43:09.340 --> 00:43:10.920
head up to the tailgaters. That was kind of an

00:43:10.920 --> 00:43:13.380
interesting ensemble there that was working last

00:43:13.380 --> 00:43:16.300
time. It was kind of a Jamaican style. Did you

00:43:16.300 --> 00:43:20.139
know there's a tailgaters down there by the Toyota

00:43:20.139 --> 00:43:24.750
Park? The soccer field. Oh, like downtown. No,

00:43:25.469 --> 00:43:27.750
that's Green Gator. No, that's Tailgaters. It's

00:43:27.750 --> 00:43:30.570
on the Toll Frontage Road. It's almost by Rudy's.

00:43:31.269 --> 00:43:36.250
Well, I know. Oh, down by Blue Goose. Yes. I

00:43:36.250 --> 00:43:38.090
got you. There's a Tailgaters over there, huh?

00:43:38.269 --> 00:43:40.650
Yep, sure is. I went by it yesterday. There it

00:43:40.650 --> 00:43:43.610
is. Tailgaters Snooker. Interesting. They're

00:43:43.610 --> 00:43:46.409
just gobbling up all those little bars, aren't

00:43:46.409 --> 00:43:48.280
they? It might be the same owner. You know, it

00:43:48.280 --> 00:43:50.059
used to be Snooker. It used to be Snooker. It

00:43:50.059 --> 00:43:53.179
was a pool hall, but the tailgater kind of. I

00:43:53.179 --> 00:43:56.980
guess they bought it. You know, those folks.

00:43:57.119 --> 00:44:01.360
They got some nice beer on tap, it looked like.

00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:04.500
Yes. Right there. You know, we've had fun over

00:44:04.500 --> 00:44:06.619
at tailgaters, and the food was not horrible.

00:44:06.860 --> 00:44:09.019
I mean, we went to. Well, it's bar food. Yeah.

00:44:09.280 --> 00:44:10.940
Where's that at? I feel like I've seen that.

00:44:10.980 --> 00:44:13.659
That's on the toll road. Tailgaters is like everywhere.

00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:16.280
By the soccer field. There's one by your house

00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:18.739
close to my Home Depot. Yeah, Home Depot. That's

00:44:18.739 --> 00:44:21.480
not there anymore. Yeah, that's gone. They changed

00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:23.739
that one? It's just a little northwest. That's

00:44:23.739 --> 00:44:26.719
not there. We also got to fit in the Frisco bar

00:44:26.719 --> 00:44:29.420
because we went out to the Frisco bar and talked

00:44:29.420 --> 00:44:31.159
about John Rodriguez and the band. What was it

00:44:31.159 --> 00:44:33.880
called? Flight Line? Fine Line? Fine Line. Fine

00:44:33.880 --> 00:44:37.440
Line, yeah. Fine Line. We had a great time out

00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:41.489
there at the Frisco bar. Tony's awesome out there.

00:44:41.510 --> 00:44:43.610
Tony's the owner for slash general manager of

00:44:43.610 --> 00:44:46.070
the place. Very cool, dude. Yo, Tony. Yeah, the

00:44:46.070 --> 00:44:48.130
place is awesome. I mean, every time we go out

00:44:48.130 --> 00:44:49.750
there, it's always a good time. The place has

00:44:49.750 --> 00:44:53.570
always got great energy. And, you know, of course.

00:44:53.969 --> 00:44:56.110
Honestly, they have great service, too. They

00:44:56.110 --> 00:44:58.869
really do. They must have swung by asking, you

00:44:58.869 --> 00:45:00.250
know how many times we've been to bars going,

00:45:00.369 --> 00:45:03.349
where is our server? Like, what's going on here?

00:45:03.550 --> 00:45:05.550
I was shocked about that. They are swinging by.

00:45:06.079 --> 00:45:08.079
Like, I had to tell them no like a half a billion

00:45:08.079 --> 00:45:10.900
times, and it was never irritating. No, because

00:45:10.900 --> 00:45:13.619
they're grounded. You good? You good? The staff

00:45:13.619 --> 00:45:15.840
there, they're very grounded. They're very knowledgeable,

00:45:15.940 --> 00:45:19.480
and they, whatever. I mean, I don't want to toot

00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:20.780
their horn too much, but God bless it. It was

00:45:20.780 --> 00:45:22.760
a good experience. Did you eat food there this

00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:25.800
time? Chuck and I did. We both ordered, yeah,

00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:27.860
we ordered a patty melt, and we ordered fried

00:45:27.860 --> 00:45:30.789
pickles and onion rings. Was it good? Yeah. Yeah,

00:45:30.789 --> 00:45:34.530
I mean, I do want to, you know, the fried pickles

00:45:34.530 --> 00:45:38.590
were really good until they weren't. So there's

00:45:38.590 --> 00:45:41.170
a sweet spot. There's a sweet spot for certain

00:45:41.170 --> 00:45:43.429
fried foods, and you got to eat them when they're

00:45:43.429 --> 00:45:46.530
supernova style or if you miss that window. After

00:45:46.530 --> 00:45:48.989
the 280th fried pickle, that's when you went,

00:45:49.090 --> 00:45:52.070
ooh. Not good, maybe too much. They were room

00:45:52.070 --> 00:45:53.730
temperature by then, and by then you're like,

00:45:53.789 --> 00:45:56.969
ooh. A little soggy. That coagulation of grease

00:45:56.969 --> 00:45:59.969
kind of coags. I'm glad that John's band decided

00:45:59.969 --> 00:46:02.469
to play there because it's a cool gig to hang

00:46:02.469 --> 00:46:04.960
out at. It was fun. I wonder where they're going

00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:07.579
to go next. I don't think they have a next date

00:46:07.579 --> 00:46:11.360
yet. I think in Jerry World. Oh, wow. They're

00:46:11.360 --> 00:46:14.239
doing very well. Windstar. Ladies and gentlemen,

00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:16.119
gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen,

00:46:16.119 --> 00:46:19.860
gentlemen. I don't know. I mean, they've got

00:46:19.860 --> 00:46:21.920
a pretty big band. I mean, there's a lot of people

00:46:21.920 --> 00:46:23.840
there. There's a lot of moving parts. So, I mean,

00:46:23.860 --> 00:46:25.559
they were actually kind of jam -packed there

00:46:25.559 --> 00:46:29.300
at the Frisco Bar on that stage. But it did sound

00:46:29.300 --> 00:46:31.760
good. It sounded good. And I just love their

00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:34.039
song selection. It's atypical shit. You know,

00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:36.360
I'm looking forward to is our concert coming

00:46:36.360 --> 00:46:39.239
up. It's a long way away. In October, yeah. I'm

00:46:39.239 --> 00:46:40.500
really looking forward to that. We're going to

00:46:40.500 --> 00:46:43.539
go see Snarky Puppy. That's right. If you guys

00:46:43.539 --> 00:46:45.340
don't know what that is, look it up, Snarky Puppy.

00:46:45.400 --> 00:46:47.840
And you might be able to get tickets right now.

00:46:47.900 --> 00:46:52.039
But if you like jazz, new age jazz. I don't even

00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:55.000
know if I classify it as, I guess it's a type

00:46:55.000 --> 00:46:58.719
of jazz. I don't know. I don't really know how

00:46:58.719 --> 00:47:01.159
they classify it. It's not normal music. No,

00:47:01.199 --> 00:47:04.320
it's not. Play a short little snippet for our

00:47:04.320 --> 00:47:07.010
audience. While he's looking that up, these guys...

00:47:07.010 --> 00:47:09.429
They're regional, right? So they started out

00:47:09.429 --> 00:47:11.989
in Denton, Texas. UNT, yeah. So they were at

00:47:11.989 --> 00:47:14.730
UNT, and I think part of them were at another

00:47:14.730 --> 00:47:17.849
band called Soul Kitchen, S -O -L Kitchen. And

00:47:17.849 --> 00:47:20.210
they kind of jumped ship and jumped over and

00:47:20.210 --> 00:47:24.250
created the Snarky Puppy. But they're like revolving

00:47:24.250 --> 00:47:30.070
university musicians, right? Yes. Well, revolving?

00:47:30.170 --> 00:47:33.610
Yeah, like Come Go and... Do they play together?

00:47:33.809 --> 00:47:38.510
Yeah, there's some. But, I mean, I can't answer

00:47:38.510 --> 00:47:40.329
that. I'm sure they have guys that are session

00:47:40.329 --> 00:47:43.050
players that will come in and pick up and play.

00:47:43.110 --> 00:47:44.889
But these guys have been in with the group. The

00:47:44.889 --> 00:47:46.570
core group have been there for a while. Man,

00:47:46.630 --> 00:47:48.869
anytime you have brass in a band, I'm in. I love

00:47:48.869 --> 00:47:52.469
it. I mean, these guys have two drum sets, percussions.

00:47:53.489 --> 00:47:55.869
There's like 15 people up on stage playing at

00:47:55.869 --> 00:47:57.550
a time, and they kind of rotate. There's a core,

00:47:57.650 --> 00:48:00.369
like you said, a core set. Yes. But they have

00:48:00.369 --> 00:48:03.659
other players come in as well. When you go to

00:48:03.659 --> 00:48:06.860
these concerts, they may not have it where we're

00:48:06.860 --> 00:48:09.699
going to be, but they all have headphones out

00:48:09.699 --> 00:48:13.739
there. So these are studio -produced concerts.

00:48:14.320 --> 00:48:16.440
So that's their concert? They're going to be

00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:19.579
like that? I don't know. No, I've seen their

00:48:19.579 --> 00:48:22.000
concerts on YouTube. That's like an orchestra.

00:48:22.019 --> 00:48:24.360
This is when they recorded the album. This is

00:48:24.360 --> 00:48:27.260
how they recorded the album. Oh, is that what

00:48:27.260 --> 00:48:28.920
it was? They had a live concert recording it?

00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:30.780
Yeah, this is when they recorded the album. I

00:48:30.780 --> 00:48:34.820
see. Nice. I dig that. That's cool. But they

00:48:34.820 --> 00:48:37.440
go all over the place. I mean, they venture from

00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:41.500
the piano to the organ, guitars, bass. They hit

00:48:41.500 --> 00:48:43.739
all the instruments, and they have some sort

00:48:43.739 --> 00:48:45.820
of spotlighted singer that's not normally with

00:48:45.820 --> 00:48:48.639
the group sometimes, and it could be some black

00:48:48.639 --> 00:48:50.400
lady that can belt it out like a motherfucker.

00:48:50.460 --> 00:48:53.699
They can have some mandolin -playing individual.

00:48:54.500 --> 00:48:57.079
It's just all over the place, and it's so unique,

00:48:57.179 --> 00:48:59.980
and they're so perfect. The word is perfect.

00:49:00.570 --> 00:49:03.289
The timing is impeccable with these guys. So

00:49:03.289 --> 00:49:06.630
where are y 'all seeing them at? The Granada

00:49:06.630 --> 00:49:09.030
Theater in Dallas. Oh, Granada, yeah. That's

00:49:09.030 --> 00:49:10.909
good. Yeah, Granada Theater. And I encourage

00:49:10.909 --> 00:49:12.510
you, if you guys want to join us, we'll be in

00:49:12.510 --> 00:49:14.570
general admission. It's like $60, $70 a ticket.

00:49:14.809 --> 00:49:18.730
I don't do that. Oh. I don't do jazz. Well, we're

00:49:18.730 --> 00:49:22.449
going to be sneaking in a few samples of stuff.

00:49:22.849 --> 00:49:25.989
So speaking of local bands that have a horn section,

00:49:26.329 --> 00:49:30.230
back in our day, we used to go see, particular

00:49:30.230 --> 00:49:32.429
band that had horns a lot. As a matter of fact,

00:49:32.449 --> 00:49:36.150
they played at your wedding. Oh, yes. Come on.

00:49:36.210 --> 00:49:38.989
Emerald City. Emerald City. Yes, that's right.

00:49:39.329 --> 00:49:43.670
Dude, I'm telling you, I love them and just that

00:49:43.670 --> 00:49:47.010
overall sound. Emerald City is such an interesting

00:49:47.010 --> 00:49:49.349
band. First of all, they're fantastic. They're

00:49:49.349 --> 00:49:52.610
an excellent band, but they have built, they

00:49:52.610 --> 00:49:57.869
have created an industry where they're... What

00:49:57.869 --> 00:50:01.079
is the word? They could bring in different players,

00:50:01.179 --> 00:50:03.539
and they've got a bunch of different bands. It's

00:50:03.539 --> 00:50:04.960
almost like a franchise. All players, same thing.

00:50:05.099 --> 00:50:07.039
I think so, yeah. They've got these little cookie

00:50:07.039 --> 00:50:10.219
-cutter different session players that show up,

00:50:10.219 --> 00:50:11.739
and these singers, and they're just like, they

00:50:11.739 --> 00:50:13.920
have an excellent product. Yeah, look at their

00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:17.559
website. And I always wonder, how do they make

00:50:17.559 --> 00:50:20.980
their money? I mean, they obviously do, I haven't

00:50:20.980 --> 00:50:22.619
kept up with them, but do they do big events?

00:50:22.820 --> 00:50:25.059
I mean, do they do like... They do corporate

00:50:25.059 --> 00:50:26.920
and shit like that. A lot of corporate events,

00:50:27.079 --> 00:50:30.000
but do they do like... You know, Lava Cantina

00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:32.739
kind of thing. Yes, they do. 5 ,000 corporate

00:50:32.739 --> 00:50:36.199
events, 4 ,000 weddings. Yeah, they do. So you're

00:50:36.199 --> 00:50:38.699
right. They have to have more than just one group.

00:50:38.900 --> 00:50:41.460
Oh, tons. And those other bands, they don't get

00:50:41.460 --> 00:50:44.420
paid quite as much, but what they are, they're

00:50:44.420 --> 00:50:48.659
managed, they're trained. With all the latest

00:50:48.659 --> 00:50:51.659
technology, they have play sets. So you go to

00:50:51.659 --> 00:50:53.780
some of these venues and you're like, well, I

00:50:53.780 --> 00:50:57.280
mean, the... The band was good, but I didn't

00:50:57.280 --> 00:50:59.119
really like their selections of songs. These

00:50:59.119 --> 00:51:02.440
guys have a set playlist because they know what

00:51:02.440 --> 00:51:04.780
works. They know what's successful, and they

00:51:04.780 --> 00:51:07.019
create the same play set everywhere. All right,

00:51:07.039 --> 00:51:08.920
well, you know what? This new song's coming out.

00:51:08.960 --> 00:51:11.179
We want you guys to learn it, and you need to

00:51:11.179 --> 00:51:12.519
learn it by next week because you're playing

00:51:12.519 --> 00:51:14.460
it, bitch. And you're going to play it on every

00:51:14.460 --> 00:51:16.059
set, and they're going to keep it in that mix

00:51:16.059 --> 00:51:18.960
until it becomes not popular anymore. So I'll

00:51:18.960 --> 00:51:20.840
tell you, when Desiree and I got married, we

00:51:20.840 --> 00:51:22.840
had them at our wedding, and we wanted to dance

00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:25.730
to a certain song. It was Boogie Shoes. Yes.

00:51:26.030 --> 00:51:28.690
And they didn't have it in their playlist, and

00:51:28.690 --> 00:51:31.590
we told them, and they learned it, and they played

00:51:31.590 --> 00:51:34.630
it, and it was phenomenal. Because there's a

00:51:34.630 --> 00:51:38.050
ton of horns in that song. It was really, really

00:51:38.050 --> 00:51:39.869
cool. They're awesome. And it was funny because

00:51:39.869 --> 00:51:42.369
normally when people do a wedding song, it's

00:51:42.369 --> 00:51:46.730
like a big, slow, dramatic. Oh, yeah, yeah. And

00:51:46.730 --> 00:51:48.510
then you guys played that and made everybody

00:51:48.510 --> 00:51:50.489
get it. Oh, yeah. No, it was great. As a matter

00:51:50.489 --> 00:51:53.380
of fact, Tara. coordinated the dance moves to

00:51:53.380 --> 00:51:55.260
that song for us. No way. That's pretty cool,

00:51:55.280 --> 00:51:57.900
yeah. I didn't know that. Yeah. How cool is that?

00:51:57.920 --> 00:51:59.239
It was fun. It was a lot of fun. Yeah, it was

00:51:59.239 --> 00:52:01.920
a fun wedding. Yeah, it was cool. Didn't work

00:52:01.920 --> 00:52:05.719
out. I was sober. It did work out. Yeah. It lasted.

00:52:06.579 --> 00:52:08.380
Hey, you know what? It did work out. I think

00:52:08.380 --> 00:52:10.159
she tried. Dude, at least it's not some of these

00:52:10.159 --> 00:52:12.800
weddings. I've been to two family weddings now

00:52:12.800 --> 00:52:16.980
that lasted, one lasted three months. Oh, good

00:52:16.980 --> 00:52:20.929
God. One lasted six months. And they are... Full

00:52:20.929 --> 00:52:23.570
-on weddings. One of them was in Colorado where

00:52:23.570 --> 00:52:27.289
they had these guys that were fire -breathing.

00:52:27.289 --> 00:52:30.650
They went all out with this weird shit. Like

00:52:30.650 --> 00:52:35.750
a New Zealand kind of thing? Like a haka. Anyway,

00:52:36.010 --> 00:52:39.429
it was crazy. We were like, damn, these people

00:52:39.429 --> 00:52:42.929
went all out. Three months later. Oh my gosh.

00:52:43.289 --> 00:52:45.980
Divorce. So how much did they dump on that? No

00:52:45.980 --> 00:52:48.300
kidding. Imagine the parents. That's a horrible

00:52:48.300 --> 00:52:51.059
ROI. You owe me money. Yeah. You're paying me

00:52:51.059 --> 00:52:54.159
back. And then another one was almost as bad.

00:52:54.239 --> 00:52:56.079
I think it was less than a year, probably maybe

00:52:56.079 --> 00:53:00.980
eight months. But she was psycho, and she had

00:53:00.980 --> 00:53:05.079
a shopping problem. Oh, no. It's like being a

00:53:05.079 --> 00:53:07.039
hoarder. He didn't know this beforehand, I assume.

00:53:07.199 --> 00:53:09.380
And she was charging up all the credit cards,

00:53:09.500 --> 00:53:11.820
ordering all the shit on Amazon. She was shopping

00:53:11.820 --> 00:53:14.159
like... Completely out of control. Like all the

00:53:14.159 --> 00:53:16.480
stuff was unopened. Oh, dear. Like boxes and

00:53:16.480 --> 00:53:18.699
boxes that you don't even know what she ordered.

00:53:18.800 --> 00:53:22.400
Did she hide them? It just went bad quick. And

00:53:22.400 --> 00:53:25.599
he tried to get control of it. And he said, that's

00:53:25.599 --> 00:53:27.800
it. We're done. So eight months into the wedding.

00:53:27.900 --> 00:53:31.119
So a three month wedding. Do you return the gifts?

00:53:31.699 --> 00:53:36.260
Oh, no, no. I mean, look, you run to Mexico.

00:53:37.099 --> 00:53:41.380
I mean, it's like no return. But it's painful

00:53:41.380 --> 00:53:43.800
for all parties. Of course. It's painful for

00:53:43.800 --> 00:53:48.539
all parties. These are life lessons. It's unfortunate,

00:53:48.820 --> 00:53:51.480
but that's kind of a trend. You know, that's

00:53:51.480 --> 00:53:54.159
happening. You know, these kids fall in love

00:53:54.159 --> 00:53:56.500
and, you know, it's too much responsibility for

00:53:56.500 --> 00:53:58.579
them. Who knows? I don't know. Whatever became

00:53:58.579 --> 00:54:01.340
of it. I mean, do they say why did they fall

00:54:01.340 --> 00:54:03.840
out of love? I mean, they could have fallen out

00:54:03.840 --> 00:54:06.400
of love in three months. So it's based on...

00:54:06.400 --> 00:54:09.000
Something big happened. The money thing, cheating,

00:54:09.199 --> 00:54:10.679
something like that. You know, and yeah, then

00:54:10.679 --> 00:54:12.800
you hear these stories. I've had multiple stories

00:54:12.800 --> 00:54:15.539
now that at the wedding... Like at the wedding,

00:54:15.619 --> 00:54:17.860
either at the altar or at the wedding at the

00:54:17.860 --> 00:54:20.000
reception. With begging the maid of honor? Oh,

00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:23.900
yes. They call out. One of them was this guy

00:54:23.900 --> 00:54:27.619
calling out his father for sleeping with his

00:54:27.619 --> 00:54:33.119
bride. Oh, wow. What? This was last week. I saw

00:54:33.119 --> 00:54:34.679
it. And he called it out. Was this at your church?

00:54:34.920 --> 00:54:41.219
No. Oh, nice. Low blow. This was at the reception,

00:54:41.360 --> 00:54:43.860
I guess. So he went through the wedding? That's

00:54:43.860 --> 00:54:45.659
what I'm saying. So hold on. That's almost like

00:54:45.659 --> 00:54:49.980
the perfect revenge because I'm sure dad paid

00:54:49.980 --> 00:54:54.619
for it all. Your own father. Oh, his own father.

00:54:54.780 --> 00:54:56.420
His father. Oh, yeah. Why would it be her father?

00:54:57.280 --> 00:55:03.960
That'd be even worse. That would be insane. Holy

00:55:03.960 --> 00:55:07.500
crap. Can you imagine? Yeah, but that was a great

00:55:07.500 --> 00:55:10.820
point, Jeff. I mean, why would you wait? I mean,

00:55:10.840 --> 00:55:13.119
I guess the money spent when you found out. Maybe

00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:17.219
you want an audience. And you wanted to humiliate

00:55:17.219 --> 00:55:19.559
them. Well, then you do it at the front on the

00:55:19.559 --> 00:55:24.079
pulpit. Just turn around and do it there. Before

00:55:24.079 --> 00:55:27.199
you actually get married. What a fucked up situation.

00:55:28.199 --> 00:55:30.960
I wouldn't want to marry the lady unless you

00:55:30.960 --> 00:55:33.400
go straight and go, I want this annulled. Hold

00:55:33.400 --> 00:55:36.119
on. Do we have a picture of her? Yeah. Look up

00:55:36.119 --> 00:55:38.980
the one. If you can find it. Is she hot? I don't

00:55:38.980 --> 00:55:40.619
know. Well, if she's hot, then it's all better

00:55:40.619 --> 00:55:42.920
off. No, no, no. Look, this is horrible. This

00:55:42.920 --> 00:55:44.579
is horrible for everybody. It's horrible for

00:55:44.579 --> 00:55:47.360
the father's wife. Yes. You know, it's horrible

00:55:47.360 --> 00:55:50.860
for everyone. What a horrible experience to go

00:55:50.860 --> 00:55:53.340
up. Because look, this is your family. All the

00:55:53.340 --> 00:55:55.619
people. You immediately become emancipated from

00:55:55.619 --> 00:56:00.059
everybody. I mean, that's a wreck. What a fucking

00:56:00.059 --> 00:56:03.510
train wreck. Totally. All right, let's see here.

00:56:04.030 --> 00:56:05.730
You're actually going to look that up. So I don't

00:56:05.730 --> 00:56:07.070
know how much time we have, but I'd love for

00:56:07.070 --> 00:56:08.550
you guys to try this whiskey so I can try it.

00:56:08.590 --> 00:56:10.309
We have plenty of time to try this whiskey. How

00:56:10.309 --> 00:56:11.550
much time do we have left? About 14 minutes.

00:56:11.730 --> 00:56:12.789
All right, let's try it. That's what we need

00:56:12.789 --> 00:56:15.889
to talk about. So let me explain a little bit

00:56:15.889 --> 00:56:19.110
about this whiskey. So I've got a really good

00:56:19.110 --> 00:56:21.269
friend. He's a neighbor. This is Gooey again,

00:56:21.409 --> 00:56:24.090
my next -door neighbor. He's from Sweden. Went

00:56:24.090 --> 00:56:26.610
over to his house. Gooey? Gooey. G -U -E -Y.

00:56:26.610 --> 00:56:29.300
Swedish. Yeah, Swedish guy. I've met him once.

00:56:29.539 --> 00:56:32.699
He's a really cool guy. He's a big, big whiskey

00:56:32.699 --> 00:56:38.159
fan. I went over to his house the other day.

00:56:38.280 --> 00:56:39.659
As a matter of fact, I told him I'm coming on

00:56:39.659 --> 00:56:42.079
this podcast. I actually did this sample for

00:56:42.079 --> 00:56:47.760
him just to test it out. He's like, this is shit.

00:56:48.840 --> 00:56:52.460
He said, bring this bottle to the guys. I want

00:56:52.460 --> 00:56:56.739
them to try it out. He let me borrow this bottle,

00:56:56.820 --> 00:57:00.380
and it's called Floki. And so his son, Gouy's

00:57:00.380 --> 00:57:04.639
son, went to Iceland, I think, not for his wedding,

00:57:04.679 --> 00:57:06.760
but anyway, he went to Iceland. He brought this

00:57:06.760 --> 00:57:08.820
bottle back. So this is an Icelandic whiskey.

00:57:09.019 --> 00:57:13.619
Okay. So go ahead and try it while we're discussing.

00:57:13.619 --> 00:57:15.380
Well, Floki Icelandic Whiskey is produced in

00:57:15.380 --> 00:57:18.059
Einverk Distillery. It's characterized as a young...

00:57:18.059 --> 00:57:19.800
Well, hold on, hold on. Don't read. Don't read.

00:57:20.219 --> 00:57:22.260
I wasn't going to want the tasting notes. No,

00:57:22.280 --> 00:57:23.920
no, no, no. I want to tell you about it first,

00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:26.320
and then I want you... You know what's weird

00:57:26.320 --> 00:57:28.820
enough is... I don't know if it's real or not,

00:57:28.860 --> 00:57:33.760
but I taste fish. Okay. I should have told you

00:57:33.760 --> 00:57:35.480
it was from Iceland. See, that's the whole mental

00:57:35.480 --> 00:57:42.199
thing. I taste a lot of wheat, and... Grass.

00:57:42.199 --> 00:57:45.039
Grass is a better word. Maybe grass is what I'm

00:57:45.039 --> 00:57:47.639
picking. I feel like tectonic plate and a lot

00:57:47.639 --> 00:57:51.099
of volcanic activity. Volcanic ash. Yeah. So

00:57:51.099 --> 00:57:57.079
this whiskey is very similar to a scotch. So

00:57:57.079 --> 00:57:59.500
we were talking about scotch earlier and how

00:57:59.500 --> 00:58:03.159
scotch is made. I do taste that fish. Scotch

00:58:03.159 --> 00:58:06.900
has similar regulations like bourbon does, right?

00:58:06.940 --> 00:58:09.619
It has to be... uh, produced in Scotland. It

00:58:09.619 --> 00:58:12.679
has to be, I think age three years, you know,

00:58:12.679 --> 00:58:14.719
it's, it's got a certain set of standards. And

00:58:14.719 --> 00:58:16.400
if it doesn't meet those standards, it's not

00:58:16.400 --> 00:58:19.440
Scotch. So, uh, one of the things that they do

00:58:19.440 --> 00:58:23.579
with Scotch is it's a, um, it's a, oh my gosh,

00:58:23.599 --> 00:58:25.559
the grain. What am I thinking? It's a barley,

00:58:25.659 --> 00:58:29.079
barley, malted barley. Yep. And so they, they

00:58:29.079 --> 00:58:32.820
bring the barley in and to malt it. I'm sure

00:58:32.820 --> 00:58:34.920
you guys are aware, but when you, when you malt

00:58:34.920 --> 00:58:38.829
the grain, you actually, to introduce hydration.

00:58:39.150 --> 00:58:41.550
So you basically soak the grains in water. And

00:58:41.550 --> 00:58:45.010
when you do that, the grains want to start growing.

00:58:45.190 --> 00:58:47.389
They want to start germinating. Sprouts, right.

00:58:47.429 --> 00:58:49.690
Yes. But you obviously don't want it to start

00:58:49.690 --> 00:58:51.630
growing. You want to stop that germination process.

00:58:51.769 --> 00:58:54.369
So the germination process will actually produce

00:58:54.369 --> 00:58:56.590
a little bit more sugar in each grain. And that's

00:58:56.590 --> 00:58:58.090
what you want. You want to get as much sugar

00:58:58.090 --> 00:59:00.449
out of each grain as possible. So in order to

00:59:00.449 --> 00:59:02.489
stop that germination process, you have to introduce

00:59:02.489 --> 00:59:05.769
heat. And so I've never been there, but I've

00:59:05.769 --> 00:59:08.469
seen videos of them having these huge warehouses

00:59:08.469 --> 00:59:12.489
of malted barley on the floor. And they're raking

00:59:12.489 --> 00:59:15.590
it out, and they have basically these vents underneath

00:59:15.590 --> 00:59:18.130
the floor that they have some sort of a heat

00:59:18.130 --> 00:59:22.510
coming in and stopping it. And so one of the

00:59:22.510 --> 00:59:27.869
things that they'll do is they will make that

00:59:27.869 --> 00:59:31.489
heat with peat. And peat is basically organic

00:59:31.489 --> 00:59:34.760
matter. That has been decomposing in these great

00:59:34.760 --> 00:59:38.659
big fields over eons. Or from fish. Could be

00:59:38.659 --> 00:59:45.599
from fish. Or dung, apparently. Wow. Did I blow

00:59:45.599 --> 00:59:50.019
the surprise? So, anyway. Oh, no. Okay. So, anyway.

00:59:50.179 --> 00:59:54.599
I'm feeling nauseous. I'm sorry. So, Pete is

00:59:54.599 --> 00:59:56.760
obviously something that they dig out of the

00:59:56.760 --> 00:59:59.539
ground, they dry it out, and it... produces the

00:59:59.539 --> 01:00:01.940
smokiness or the peatiness that you get in a

01:00:01.940 --> 01:00:05.739
lot of scotches. Yes. In Iceland, they don't

01:00:05.739 --> 01:00:08.880
have peat, but they have a lot of sheep. Oh.

01:00:09.559 --> 01:00:12.179
So this is... That's great. Oh, I get it. So

01:00:12.179 --> 01:00:14.199
this is warmed up by... They're using sheep poop,

01:00:14.360 --> 01:00:17.599
and that's where the grass is coming from. Not

01:00:17.599 --> 01:00:20.119
the grass, just sheep shit. Well, they eat a

01:00:20.119 --> 01:00:22.739
lot of grass. But it turns into shit. Yes. Smoke

01:00:22.739 --> 01:00:26.119
comes from it. You ever seen cow shit that's

01:00:26.119 --> 01:00:28.960
very earthy and grassy? It's the same thing.

01:00:29.000 --> 01:00:30.699
90 % grass. Hold on. I'm not going to eat that

01:00:30.699 --> 01:00:33.360
and go, it tastes like grass. I thought everyone

01:00:33.360 --> 01:00:36.260
did. Hold on. So you're saying sheep droppings,

01:00:36.440 --> 01:00:40.260
they are heating the sheep droppings? Yeah, they

01:00:40.260 --> 01:00:42.260
catch them on fire or whatever. Does sheep do

01:00:42.260 --> 01:00:44.900
solid poops or is it like scat? Instead of using

01:00:44.900 --> 01:00:47.829
peat, they use sheep shit. And they burn it.

01:00:47.829 --> 01:00:50.210
And they burn it, and it produces the heat to

01:00:50.210 --> 01:00:52.090
stop the germination process. Well, I still go

01:00:52.090 --> 01:00:55.570
back to I have essence. It's even finer than

01:00:55.570 --> 01:00:59.110
that. You know the flaky fish food? Mm -hmm.

01:00:59.730 --> 01:01:04.590
How that smells? Fish sticks? Lutefisk? No, not

01:01:04.590 --> 01:01:08.449
that. That flaky fish food that you put when

01:01:08.449 --> 01:01:11.030
you have an aquarium. Oh, yeah. I pick up an

01:01:11.030 --> 01:01:14.550
essence of that in this. Whatever that scent

01:01:14.550 --> 01:01:17.840
is. It reminds me of what I taste in here. I

01:01:17.840 --> 01:01:20.460
think this is excellent. It actually is really

01:01:20.460 --> 01:01:21.780
good, isn't it? I'm not saying I don't like it.

01:01:21.960 --> 01:01:24.079
This one's sherry cask finish, though, right?

01:01:24.239 --> 01:01:28.099
Mm -hmm. It's excellent, actually. It is good.

01:01:28.440 --> 01:01:31.380
But, you know, he was telling me the whole it's

01:01:31.380 --> 01:01:34.739
dried with sheep shit. Yeah. But I'm a huge fan

01:01:34.739 --> 01:01:37.900
of sheep shit. Exactly. Right. So this is why,

01:01:37.960 --> 01:01:39.920
yeah, this is why it's a winner for me. Well,

01:01:39.960 --> 01:01:42.820
he has three in the backyard. That's right. And

01:01:42.820 --> 01:01:45.539
we collect it and we dry it. Yeah. Right. And

01:01:45.539 --> 01:01:48.559
we, yeah, I mean, we use it for everything. Brickettes

01:01:48.559 --> 01:01:51.300
and the charcoal. Yeah. Flavoring. Smoker. A

01:01:51.300 --> 01:01:53.159
lot of seasoned fries with it. That's why your

01:01:53.159 --> 01:01:58.179
brisket was dry as fuck. Low blow. Too soon.

01:01:59.239 --> 01:02:02.420
Too soon. It was a sheep shit. I think it's excellent.

01:02:03.300 --> 01:02:08.519
I'm kind of curious. It is good. Is it sheep

01:02:08.519 --> 01:02:13.119
scat? Yes. So they sprinkle scat out there and

01:02:13.119 --> 01:02:16.519
then they heat it. Yes. Well, they don't heat

01:02:16.519 --> 01:02:18.440
it, but they leave it on top to absorb the heat.

01:02:18.539 --> 01:02:20.119
They would have to dry it. I mean, have you ever

01:02:20.119 --> 01:02:23.719
burnt cow patties? I mean, once they dry out,

01:02:23.739 --> 01:02:25.619
they're like... I have not. Haven't you burnt

01:02:25.619 --> 01:02:28.170
your own shit? Not on purpose. I mean, we all

01:02:28.170 --> 01:02:31.530
do that. I think we burnt Mark's shit in a plastic

01:02:31.530 --> 01:02:35.650
Home Depot bucket. Yes, we did. No, it was an

01:02:35.650 --> 01:02:38.750
igloo cooler. Was it an igloo cooler? Nailed

01:02:38.750 --> 01:02:43.090
it. It was your scat in that cooler? Oh, my God.

01:02:43.690 --> 01:02:46.829
We didn't have plumbing back then. I fought a

01:02:46.829 --> 01:02:47.829
lot of health issues after that. We had a lot

01:02:47.829 --> 01:02:50.769
of plumbing, man. Now I know why. See, they're

01:02:50.769 --> 01:02:54.599
burning the sheep shit. Oh, yeah. Look at that.

01:02:54.860 --> 01:02:56.659
Bro, there's the grass you're talking about.

01:02:56.719 --> 01:02:59.940
Isn't that appetizing? All right, well, look,

01:03:00.019 --> 01:03:02.260
let's talk about this. I'm not going to look

01:03:02.260 --> 01:03:03.559
at my notes or anything, but I'm just like, so

01:03:03.559 --> 01:03:06.239
we're just shooting from the hip here. Well,

01:03:06.260 --> 01:03:08.400
I gave you a really odd, tasty note that I'm

01:03:08.400 --> 01:03:11.639
picking up. Fish. Yeah, because it does. I mean,

01:03:11.699 --> 01:03:16.639
you take the classic fish food, and you open

01:03:16.639 --> 01:03:19.980
the cap, and it's the flakes, and you smell it,

01:03:20.019 --> 01:03:22.780
and yeah, it's got that. That thing going on.

01:03:23.320 --> 01:03:27.820
This, it does, I could see how people could fall

01:03:27.820 --> 01:03:31.320
in love with it, but there's an initial shock

01:03:31.320 --> 01:03:35.659
of when you're tasting it because it has a very

01:03:35.659 --> 01:03:38.559
earthy, grassy taste to it. And when you figure

01:03:38.559 --> 01:03:39.900
out what they're doing with it, you're like,

01:03:39.940 --> 01:03:42.260
oh my God, I probably would not drink it. But

01:03:42.260 --> 01:03:45.639
I would because it does have a sweet honey base

01:03:45.639 --> 01:03:49.119
to it. It is sweet. And if you can get past that,

01:03:49.320 --> 01:03:52.480
we can. We can. We could see the diamond in the

01:03:52.480 --> 01:03:54.539
rough with any kind of whiskey that we drink.

01:03:54.599 --> 01:03:56.059
I think we could dig in there and be like, you

01:03:56.059 --> 01:03:58.420
know what? It's really not for me, but I could

01:03:58.420 --> 01:04:00.519
see how a lot of people would like it. I would

01:04:00.519 --> 01:04:02.519
like it. I would like to order more of this.

01:04:02.599 --> 01:04:04.079
In fact, I've seen they have like five or six

01:04:04.079 --> 01:04:06.260
different varieties of this. I don't know if

01:04:06.260 --> 01:04:08.360
you can get it here. I'd like to sample it. I

01:04:08.360 --> 01:04:13.260
would. Well, we can get Icelandic wine here.

01:04:13.320 --> 01:04:15.300
Why can't we get Icelandic whiskey? They don't

01:04:15.300 --> 01:04:21.369
have beer. Beer as well? Yes. Iced hot. What?

01:04:21.670 --> 01:04:23.769
What are those? Pull them up. Is it a single

01:04:23.769 --> 01:04:27.469
malt? Malt, sheep, dung, smoked. They actually

01:04:27.469 --> 01:04:31.369
advertise it that way, too. Right. Dung. Yes,

01:04:31.389 --> 01:04:35.289
sheep, dung, smoked. Floki Young malt. Oh, my

01:04:35.289 --> 01:04:38.010
God. They literally advertise it that way. Are

01:04:38.010 --> 01:04:41.550
all of them sheep dung smoked? Or is it just

01:04:41.550 --> 01:04:43.309
one of them? That one actually says it on the

01:04:43.309 --> 01:04:46.280
box. That's what I mean. Sheep dung. So is this

01:04:46.280 --> 01:04:50.539
one not? We may not have that. I didn't. No,

01:04:50.659 --> 01:04:52.679
this one definitely. You can taste the grass

01:04:52.679 --> 01:04:54.000
because that's where the grass smell is coming

01:04:54.000 --> 01:04:55.199
from. The taste is coming from. But there's no

01:04:55.199 --> 01:04:57.639
smoke. No, no. I don't get any smoke either.

01:04:58.079 --> 01:05:01.519
So where's the grassy taste coming from? It could

01:05:01.519 --> 01:05:04.159
be from the grains they're using. It has to be

01:05:04.159 --> 01:05:06.179
from the grains. I'd be interested to find out

01:05:06.179 --> 01:05:07.559
what that mash pill is. You know what? Maybe

01:05:07.559 --> 01:05:11.139
that is. Maybe they only do have one that's smoked

01:05:11.139 --> 01:05:15.400
with sheep dung. Well, yeah, what does the bottle

01:05:15.400 --> 01:05:18.199
say? It doesn't say anything about sheep or dung.

01:05:19.119 --> 01:05:21.559
You know what this tastes like? It tastes like

01:05:21.559 --> 01:05:27.159
we have a 100 % wheat. What is the other 100

01:05:27.159 --> 01:05:30.460
% wheat we have out there, Jeff? Chuck, it's

01:05:30.460 --> 01:05:32.619
the brown label. Show us the brown label. There's

01:05:32.619 --> 01:05:34.840
two of them that could be the brown label. Oregon

01:05:34.840 --> 01:05:36.260
Spirit. Yeah, that one doesn't say anything.

01:05:36.460 --> 01:05:38.739
I think that's the one we're trying. It kind

01:05:38.739 --> 01:05:41.559
of reminds me of Oregon Spirit with Oregon Spirit.

01:05:41.980 --> 01:05:43.300
That doesn't say anything about cheap dung. Like

01:05:43.300 --> 01:05:45.780
grass clippings. Yeah. Let me see the bottle.

01:05:45.880 --> 01:05:48.099
I don't think this one was smoked. Yeah, I would

01:05:48.099 --> 01:05:49.619
think not either because I don't taste any smoke

01:05:49.619 --> 01:05:51.900
anyway. You're 100 % sure this is the sherry

01:05:51.900 --> 01:05:53.460
cast. Mark, we have another bottle out there.

01:05:53.480 --> 01:05:56.199
It's 100 % wheat. It's Oregon Spirits, and it

01:05:56.199 --> 01:05:59.139
tastes a little similar to this. And it's a,

01:05:59.320 --> 01:06:01.119
what's the proof on it? Do we ever say what the

01:06:01.119 --> 01:06:05.519
proof is? Oh, there it is. 47 % from 94. Yeah,

01:06:05.519 --> 01:06:07.320
maybe I just lied to you all. Such a math leap.

01:06:08.369 --> 01:06:10.750
Now I want to try the sheep dung smoke. Yeah,

01:06:10.769 --> 01:06:12.869
so we don't have that one. Yeah, we need to try

01:06:12.869 --> 01:06:14.690
that one. This is really good. I'm enjoying it.

01:06:14.690 --> 01:06:17.849
It is good. I do like it. It's very unique. It's

01:06:17.849 --> 01:06:20.650
got a hint of sweet. It's got that funk to it,

01:06:20.670 --> 01:06:22.949
like I said, that I'm pulling out a lot. Yeah,

01:06:23.030 --> 01:06:25.510
and you're not a huge fan of that funk sometimes,

01:06:25.650 --> 01:06:27.230
but I think this is a good introductory level

01:06:27.230 --> 01:06:30.530
one. This one's quite a bit different than some

01:06:30.530 --> 01:06:32.730
of the other funks. I'm enjoying it. Yeah, I

01:06:32.730 --> 01:06:35.630
could definitely imagine this is not a total

01:06:35.630 --> 01:06:41.750
wine. I can't imagine it would be. Anyway. All

01:06:41.750 --> 01:06:46.309
right, let's rate it. Interesting. Rate it. Gosh.

01:06:46.429 --> 01:06:48.170
This is unique. It's going to be a different

01:06:48.170 --> 01:06:51.690
thing. So it's almost difficult to even rate.

01:06:52.670 --> 01:06:56.030
But we'll rate it for what it is. For what it

01:06:56.030 --> 01:06:59.949
is, unique as hell. It's a single. Single malt.

01:07:00.070 --> 01:07:01.969
Single malt. Well, are you rating it based off

01:07:01.969 --> 01:07:03.670
of what you know about it or just based off of

01:07:03.670 --> 01:07:05.750
what you taste? Other single malts. Yeah, no,

01:07:05.829 --> 01:07:07.949
you can't. Comparable single malt. You can't.

01:07:07.949 --> 01:07:11.269
So I'm rating it on how much I enjoyed it in

01:07:11.269 --> 01:07:14.929
the experience. I think we rate this as a single

01:07:14.929 --> 01:07:16.670
malt because it's a single malt whiskey. Oh,

01:07:16.750 --> 01:07:18.849
you have to. It doesn't have sheep dung or anything

01:07:18.849 --> 01:07:20.789
like that. It's a single malt whiskey. Yeah,

01:07:20.929 --> 01:07:24.070
but it's way different from a, you know. Because

01:07:24.070 --> 01:07:25.309
it's made in Iceland. It's the only one you can

01:07:25.309 --> 01:07:27.570
compare it to. It's made in Iceland. It's not

01:07:27.570 --> 01:07:31.150
a scotch. I'm going to be extremely fair, and

01:07:31.150 --> 01:07:35.130
I'm going to rate it a flat seven. I was at six

01:07:35.130 --> 01:07:37.289
and a half. I was right at seven, too. I'm going

01:07:37.289 --> 01:07:40.769
seven three. Wow. Look at you. I really enjoy

01:07:40.769 --> 01:07:43.849
it. Big .3 upper. Yeah. I just thought of sheep

01:07:43.849 --> 01:07:46.230
dung in my mouth, even though it's not this,

01:07:46.349 --> 01:07:49.309
I know. I would definitely buy this to add to

01:07:49.309 --> 01:07:54.469
the collection. For the uniqueness and just the

01:07:54.469 --> 01:07:58.130
availability of it, I think. So it's 50 centiliters.

01:07:58.130 --> 01:08:01.610
I don't know what that is comparable to our milliliters.

01:08:01.949 --> 01:08:08.889
We can't compare. No. Holy shit. Does Empire

01:08:08.889 --> 01:08:12.849
Liquor have it? No, they do not. Is that another

01:08:12.849 --> 01:08:15.010
plug? I'll dive into this and try to figure this

01:08:15.010 --> 01:08:17.350
out because I want the whole collection, honestly.

01:08:18.109 --> 01:08:20.149
You just want the people. I wonder how much it

01:08:20.149 --> 01:08:23.060
costs. Does it say how much it costs? It's under

01:08:23.060 --> 01:08:25.720
$100 up there. I don't know if that's an Icelandic

01:08:25.720 --> 01:08:31.140
dollar or U .S. dollar. That's pesos. Floki,

01:08:31.260 --> 01:08:34.140
single malt. You know what's interesting? Approximately

01:08:34.140 --> 01:08:37.380
$67. You know what's interesting? It is not found

01:08:37.380 --> 01:08:41.739
in Only Drams. Bottle not found. In what? In

01:08:41.739 --> 01:08:44.699
Only Drams. Only Drams? Have you not heard of

01:08:44.699 --> 01:08:47.899
this app? No. That's where you put all your bottles

01:08:47.899 --> 01:08:50.760
in the collection. Okay. And it tells you if

01:08:50.760 --> 01:08:53.539
it's rare, uncommon. All right. This is not even

01:08:53.539 --> 01:09:01.680
found. That's amazing. Interesting. Yeah. Floki

01:09:01.680 --> 01:09:03.699
it is. Floki for the win. Floki for the win.

01:09:03.920 --> 01:09:07.279
Yeah. It is a win. It is a win for sure. So barrel

01:09:07.279 --> 01:09:10.319
number one. So we have a second one. But this

01:09:10.319 --> 01:09:16.159
is barrel number one. Bottle 318. These guys

01:09:16.159 --> 01:09:18.380
are starters. So they're a new company, it sounds

01:09:18.380 --> 01:09:21.659
like. Barrel number one. The date is... Oh, my

01:09:21.659 --> 01:09:33.479
God. 2021. 2019. And the distiller is Eole. E

01:09:33.479 --> 01:09:39.439
-O -L -E. So this may be the very first barrel

01:09:39.439 --> 01:09:42.039
that they ever bottled? It could be. This could

01:09:42.039 --> 01:09:43.920
be super rare. This could be their inaugural...

01:09:43.920 --> 01:09:47.340
Yes. Literally the first bottle. How interesting.

01:09:48.479 --> 01:09:52.439
Thank you for sharing this. Does it say what

01:09:52.439 --> 01:09:55.439
bottle? It's the Sherry Cask finish. It's 318.

01:09:56.399 --> 01:10:01.819
Bottle 318. So it is the 318th first bottle these

01:10:01.819 --> 01:10:05.760
people ever barreled of this line. Correct. Very

01:10:05.760 --> 01:10:09.079
cool. And we were here to smell it and taste

01:10:09.079 --> 01:10:12.859
it. When did his son go over there? When? Let's

01:10:12.859 --> 01:10:16.289
take a road trip. Yep. Let's do it. DFW. We're

01:10:16.289 --> 01:10:20.149
going to Iceland, guys. Let's do it. And guess

01:10:20.149 --> 01:10:22.789
what? They're picking up the tab. They want us

01:10:22.789 --> 01:10:25.329
to come visit. We can't even get over to see

01:10:25.329 --> 01:10:27.750
the football team. We have t -shirts for. Do

01:10:27.750 --> 01:10:29.909
you think, is that, what's the name of the, is

01:10:29.909 --> 01:10:33.789
it Floki is the name of the distillery? No. Yes.

01:10:33.789 --> 01:10:40.210
I think it is. I'm Verk. I'm Verk Distillery.

01:10:40.369 --> 01:10:41.970
Okay, we've got to reach out to them and ask

01:10:41.970 --> 01:10:44.210
them if they would like to have us come over

01:10:44.210 --> 01:10:47.109
and do a remote podcast from Iceland. I agree.

01:10:47.229 --> 01:10:51.270
I want to fish for cod. I'm Verk Distillery.

01:10:51.689 --> 01:10:56.550
Okay. You know what? You can do that. So it says

01:10:56.550 --> 01:10:59.869
it's characterized by a young profile due to

01:10:59.869 --> 01:11:04.670
its 100 % Icelandic barley and extreme Icelandic

01:11:04.670 --> 01:11:08.369
climate. That's basically it. So seriously, though,

01:11:08.449 --> 01:11:11.989
I wonder if you guys did something like this,

01:11:12.109 --> 01:11:14.529
like what we just talked about, and send them

01:11:14.529 --> 01:11:17.449
a clip of it and just say, I don't know. Let's

01:11:17.449 --> 01:11:21.350
do it. I want you. I mean, do you ask them for

01:11:21.350 --> 01:11:22.569
something? They would love that in an American

01:11:22.569 --> 01:11:26.489
podcast. Yes, 100%. Talked about their whiskey.

01:11:26.689 --> 01:11:28.649
Yeah. Mark, did you have a good time tonight?

01:11:28.829 --> 01:11:31.850
Loved it. Guys, this was so much fun. I had such

01:11:31.850 --> 01:11:33.609
a great time. Is this one of those things that

01:11:33.609 --> 01:11:35.109
you're like, hey, I want to come back? Yeah.

01:11:35.170 --> 01:11:37.489
Tomorrow? Are you all doing this tomorrow? Tuesday.

01:11:38.069 --> 01:11:41.170
Oh, okay. I'll probably go out to Scott Cash's

01:11:41.170 --> 01:11:42.770
house Friday. You got something going on Friday?

01:11:43.649 --> 01:11:45.899
I don't know. I'll have to see. All right. Well,

01:11:45.899 --> 01:11:47.960
look up the schedule. We'll kind of figure it

01:11:47.960 --> 01:11:50.439
out. Scott has some cool stuff. I'm sure you're

01:11:50.439 --> 01:11:52.439
going to enjoy it, but we have to really, really

01:11:52.439 --> 01:11:55.199
take it easy because God bless it. It gets rough.

01:11:55.340 --> 01:11:57.500
Yeah. When you do 30 samples, you're just like,

01:11:57.539 --> 01:12:00.779
it's dumb. Oh, he rips out these super small

01:12:00.779 --> 01:12:03.699
little tiny glasses. So little. We have like

01:12:03.699 --> 01:12:07.020
100 of them. Yeah, it goes bad. And then Sean

01:12:07.020 --> 01:12:09.859
pulls this out. I'm going to fill it. That has

01:12:09.859 --> 01:12:11.800
never happened. And then he's going to blow a

01:12:11.800 --> 01:12:14.829
.36. That's impossible. That's impossible. That

01:12:14.829 --> 01:12:17.069
happened, actually. That's impossible. I am literally

01:12:17.069 --> 01:12:20.529
dead. Second half of the Dudes Like Us podcast

01:12:20.529 --> 01:12:23.489
ending tonight. A shout out to Mark. Thank you

01:12:23.489 --> 01:12:24.750
for coming out tonight. Thank you guys for having

01:12:24.750 --> 01:12:27.689
us. Good stuff. Great time. Check us out on all

01:12:27.689 --> 01:12:31.390
the social media stuff. Facebook, Instagram,

01:12:31.890 --> 01:12:36.750
YouTube. Fucking TikTok. And shout out to who

01:12:36.750 --> 01:12:40.310
made those for us again? That would be Alex Grinborg,

01:12:40.630 --> 01:12:43.810
the daughter of Gooey Grinborg. Outstanding.

01:12:43.909 --> 01:12:46.449
And Andreas Grinborg is the one that brought

01:12:46.449 --> 01:12:49.010
us the Floki from Iceland. So the whole Grinborg

01:12:49.010 --> 01:12:51.289
family. This is very authentic. She used to be

01:12:51.289 --> 01:12:54.350
like enthralled in swords and stuff. She still

01:12:54.350 --> 01:12:57.850
is, I think. She played Dungeons and Dragons.

01:12:58.170 --> 01:13:03.520
I believe so. Nice. How old is she? 30 -something.

01:13:03.600 --> 01:13:05.380
Oh, my God. Time's a lot. I'm one of the little

01:13:05.380 --> 01:13:08.359
girls. Yeah. Wow. Thank you, Chuck, for taking

01:13:08.359 --> 01:13:09.960
care of us tonight. Dudes Like Us. I'm Sean.

01:13:10.140 --> 01:13:12.380
I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff. And I'm Mark. Thank you

01:13:12.380 --> 01:13:12.739
very much.
