Well, hello my friends.
Welcome to another episode of Dudes Like Us.
Dudes Like Us.
What is today?
It's been a long time.
It's been a while.
It's August 10th.
It is August 10th.
I don't even know when the last time we've been here.
It's been a while.
Anyway, I'm Jeff.
I'm Paul.
And I'm hot rocking, shock and shine.
Nice.
God.
And we are Dudes Like Us.
Dudes Like You.
Yah.
So it's been two weeks.
A lot's happened since the last time we sat down.
Yeah.
Paul went on a vacation.
I went on a vacation, yes, to take care of my parents while they were visiting their
cabin in Colorado.
Correct.
Then I went on vacation, partly to move my son into a new apartment at Texas Tech.
And then to take the first solo vacation with my wife we've had in quite a while.
Fredericksburg.
Fredericksburg, yes.
Yeah, you guys had a good time.
It was really, really nice.
I want to pick your brain for what you did during that trip because I think I'm going
to do the same thing here in about six weeks or so.
All right.
So, yeah.
It's a nice area.
It is beautiful.
It's about four, four and a half hour drives from here through Hill Country.
A lot of wineries.
Oh, yeah.
There's I don't know how many wineries.
A hundred wineries down there.
Crazy.
Some good stuff.
So they grow different kind of grapes here in Texas because it gets hotter than like
California and other places that you typically think of of wine.
So there's different varietals of grapes that they grow here.
Right.
It's all about climate.
Yeah.
One of the guys we went to, I guess it's true, they said if you see a Chardonnay at any of
the wineries down here, they bought the grapes in Napa or Sonoma and brought them.
Interesting.
Because they cannot grow those grapes here.
They're very, very, very difficult to grow the Chardonnay.
Before that, you can't do it because it's too hot.
So they said if you see a Chardonnay, it's they bought grapes from a vineyard in California
or somewhere that can grow Chardonnay.
And did their own bottling here.
Yeah, they smashed them and made the wine out of them, but they just didn't grow them
on their own vineyards.
All right.
Sounds good.
Yeah, it's good.
And that's where in Fredericksburg is an old German town.
A bunch of German settlers came in.
So yeah, yeah.
So it's very lots of German restaurants.
Yes.
Had some.
Did you get a Wiener Schnitzel?
My wife got a Wiener Schnitzel.
She got one of those.
And I've got a sausage plate.
Hold on, hold on.
So when you say Wiener Schnitzel, what is your idea of a Wiener Schnitzel?
It is a piece of meat pounded flat breaded.
Well, they have.
There's all kinds of Wiener Schnitzels.
That's right.
They have veal, right, which is a baby cow kept in the dark its whole life and then slaughtered
for a Wiener Schnitzel.
Well, it doesn't know any better.
It's been in the dark.
There's like, oh, just dark now.
Kind of like the Democrats.
They're kept in the dark.
Yeah, till eaten.
What militia are you in?
All right.
Well, the reason why I bring that up is because there's a lot of, in fact, there's even a
place called the Wiener Schnitzel where they sell hot dogs.
Yes.
Well, and they also have they have a bunch of those in Lubbock, by the way.
They have.
They had one in El Paso.
That's my only experience with these to have one here down Preston.
It just hot dogs only right.
Wiener Schnitzel.
Yeah.
So I was kind of like, is it really only hot dogs with sauerkraut and stuff like that?
No, it's like chili.
Yeah.
It's not even real.
It's nothing like German stuff.
So I was kind of like, what is that all about?
So when people say, hey, I had a Wiener Schnitzel, a Wiener Schnitzel, I'm like, well, do you
really know what that is?
That's a different thing.
Yeah.
So I was like, well, Fredericksburg version of a Wiener, I'm sure it's different than
actual German, just like Mexican food.
As long as it's not a Wiener, you know, that wasn't a Wiener.
It was a piece of I think she got a weird word.
I don't know if it's a Wiener.
A Wiener.
So we get that.
I got the sausage plate with sauerkraut and German potato salad, which I believe the German
potato salad was straight out of a can.
Because I like German potato salad.
And when I have a fix for it, I'll go to Kroger and get that can of German potato salad that
tastes just like that.
So what's different about German potato salad compared to regular?
It's got a vinegar base instead of a mayonnaise base.
And it's got little bits of bacon in it.
Oh, I like the sound of that.
And the potatoes are sliced flat.
So they're like big round, almost like really thick potato chips, except they're soft like
potato salad.
I usually do not eat potato salad at all, but I guess the last several get togethers
we've had, people have been bringing over like the mustard base.
Oh, yeah.
I like it.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, you can't taste mayonnaise.
I can't stand mayonnaise.
Yeah.
Well, no, you can't taste mayonnaise.
I don't think there's no mayonnaise in German potato salad.
Yeah.
And it's a sweet vinegary and it's not real runny, but it's a lot thinner sauce than your
mayonnaise stuff.
So it's one of my favorites.
I like the mustard potato salad, the egg potato salad and German potato salad.
Yeah.
I'm with Jeff.
Oh, potato salad.
I enjoy the hell out of it.
It's fantastic.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's really, really good.
So did you see the Pacific?
No, we have ever been.
No, we have full intentions of going.
We even on we walked back, we were looking like, OK, what time they open?
How much does it cost to get in?
It's like 25 bucks.
I had to get in.
We're like, OK, we just need to plan a few hours to do it because it takes some time
to get through it.
It takes a long time.
Like, you can come back multiple days and still not go through it all.
Yeah.
So now we missed it again this time.
And it's something that we always say we want to do.
But for some reason, you know, we just we just never make it because things shut down
early there.
So keep that in mind.
If you if you're out at the wineries and you're like, yeah, it's at six o'clock downtown's
going to be shut down.
Even the restaurants?
Well, a lot of them.
A lot of them are closed on multiple days a week.
Oh, wow.
OK.
And I would know.
And I would recommend going down during the week.
Do not go on the weekend because it's just crazy crowded because everyone that we're
there because yes, it was perfect.
You could walk in to the to the wineries and sit right down for the tasting during the
week.
Yeah.
During the week.
And we were talking to all the people.
They're like, yeah, on the weekend, you wouldn't be able to get in.
Oh, wow.
I can't stand crowds.
Yeah.
That's a much better idea.
And you have to make reservations on the weekend.
Right.
And you have to be at this winery at two ten.
Right.
And to be at this one at three o'clock.
And you have to be there because that's when your reservations are.
Yeah, sure.
And on we went, I know it's during the week, you just walk in.
Right.
And you and you sit down and there's maybe one or two other people in there with you.
And were you celebrating an anniversary?
I forget.
No, it's just no.
Just getting away.
That's perfect.
Yeah.
You said you sent some pictures of of hanging out on the back patio or.
Oh, it's nice.
We went to one.
They were they're brand new and.
We found out they actually import all their grapes from Europe and then they make the
wine over here.
OK.
They're they're niche that they're going for is old world style wines.
So they're buying the wines or the grapes from those sections over there that they make
the old style wines, whatever they what those are.
They're all a bunch of French names and stuff.
Yeah.
You know, they didn't grow them there.
I don't believe I could have been wrong, but I well, maybe they did.
Maybe they brought them over and they're growing them, but they're the French style wines.
But it was good.
But they're still building their building.
There's tasting room and stuff.
So we're sitting out back on this huge patio overlooking this huge, beautiful field with
rolling hills.
Yeah, nice.
But it was nice.
It was.
It is nice.
Well, and I was I was jealous.
You got to visit the distillery.
Yeah.
Garrison Brothers, Garrison Brothers.
Yeah.
Is it a big a big place or no.
Pretty low, low key.
Oh, very low key.
And I sent you the picture.
It's a couple of small buildings.
You have tours.
We didn't plan to do the tour.
We have to get a reservation to do that.
So I think it's something that we would probably enjoy doing.
But they do take tours of the distillery.
They have a bunch of land down there and the whole tasting area.
They have a shop you can go in there.
So they have a they have a little they have a building there where they're selling their
bourbons.
Yeah.
So when in there and the tasting, you showed a picture of it.
They were pretty strong.
They were huge.
They were very strong pourers.
And I even said something like because like you want the three or the four tastings because
you get to try more.
So I figured they'd be a regular little itty bitty tasting.
But she was like, oh, wow.
It's like, good thing my wife's driving.
She's like, yeah, we have heavy pours here.
And it was like 12 bucks.
12 or 13 bucks.
So anyway, yeah, Garrison Brothers, it was they make good stuff.
And we've we've tried one.
Well, you had one.
I had one.
But we so we've never had one at the podcast.
No.
Well, they're they're not they're not cheap.
No.
And they're they're 100 plus.
They're actually more expensive on site.
That's crazy.
This is the Garrison stuff.
Yeah.
I remember my wife was like, it was like it was a cool picture.
We can go.
Yeah, it was nice.
And they have four different.
So they have a rye.
No, it was no.
They don't have a rye.
I didn't have one in the tasting.
I had they had two different small batches.
OK.
Or maybe it was two single barrels.
It was two single barrels.
They had single barrel A, single barrel B. And then they had the small batch, which is
the standard Garrison.
And then they have what they call the honeydew, which is a they sweeten it with honey.
It's not real sweet at all, but it was really good.
OK.
So I had those four.
So that's it's got the yellow wax or whatever they have on there.
Right.
Yeah.
The black, the yellow and I think the single barrels have red on it.
I don't know.
Or gold.
But yeah, I mean, it was it was four big strong pours.
It's a really good bourbon.
And like I said, twelve or thirteen dollars for it.
That's it.
That's crazy.
Yeah, that's great.
Yeah, it was really, really, really, really fun.
I highly recommend you going down there.
Tons of bed and breakfast, tons of cabins you can rent.
Yeah.
Beautiful.
Cool.
And good food, good wine, good drinks.
So what are we drinking tonight, gentlemen?
Oh, you know what?
We are drinking the brand new one we just got.
George Dickel Bottled and Bond Whiskey aged 13 years.
Got a blue label.
Very tasty.
It's very very.
This is the oldest one we have, the aged for 13 years.
Our Mr. Producer is going to try to pull up some information on it.
It's a winner, man.
Yeah.
Smells delicious.
Now that it's opened up.
Yeah.
So when you first popped it out of the bottle, poured it had a really high, strong, strong
fruit flavor like a pear or a stone fruit.
I think is what we were calling it.
Check out the nose now, Sean.
It's amazing.
That's very soft.
I mean, 13 years makes a huge difference.
It's huge.
There's some sweetness.
That's really good.
Yeah.
That's impressive.
How much was that bottle?
40 bucks.
Wow.
Yeah, we got to go get more of that and just keep it in the vault.
The vault.
I actually found that at Costco out in Lubbock.
Crazy.
We were at that one.
Yeah.
Interesting.
So I found that at Costco at Lubbock and we were out at.
Gosh, where were we?
We were at a place.
They had two or three bottles of it there.
So we may need to make another venture.
We do.
I'm in agreement.
I almost bought one because I was like, man, I don't know.
I don't know if these are going to stick around.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's good.
It's really, really good.
And it's like I said, the bottle and bond 13 year.
It's 100 proof too.
That's what bottle and bond is.
Whenever you see a bottle and bond, it's always 100 proof.
Well, it's exactly 100 proof every time.
Bottle and bond, that's what it means?
Every bottle and bond, yes.
I did not know that.
All right.
So Mr. Producer just handed me.
Yep, that's it.
Bottled and bond.
Let's see here.
It's distilling season was spring of 2007.
It's distilling.
Oh no, 2008.
Distilling season was fall of 2008.
Let's see.
Bold and balanced.
First release.
This is 11 years old, but this one is 13.
So I think we've actually got 13 year old.
Here he goes.
2019 Whiskey of the Year, Whiskey Advocate.
San Francisco Gold Medal winner.
13 year old Whiskey's bold balance rooted in authenticity.
At 100 proof, bottle and bond can be enjoyed neat on the rocks.
So I don't see a match bill on it.
Now, are they classifying this as a bourbon or just a whiskey?
Is it a whiskey?
Tennessee whiskey, right?
No.
So my ignorance here.
Bottled and bond.
What does that mean?
I believe that has something to do with prohibition.
I don't know what the specifics are, but whenever you see a bottle and bond, whether it's Evan
Williams and you're watching Midway or Dickel or whoever it is, it's 100 proof.
So my understanding was it has something to do with verifying authenticity.
Like it was during a period where maybe they were coming out of prohibition and there was
a lot of moonshining going on and there was like a lot of people mixing, putting crap
stuff in their bourbon.
And bottled and bond had something to do with the guaranteeing the quality.
So what says it seems like an innovation in spirits hits the shelves every day.
Matured whiskey to Metallica's music, gin that changes colors.
There are cold brew liqueurs, bottles promoted by marquee movie stars and spirits made with
sans alcohol.
But one of the most notable kinds of spirits isn't new at all.
The bottled and bond designation is steeped in more than a century of an American distilling
heritage.
It arguably holds spirit to standard higher than most scotch and more scrupulous than
cognac's designation.
And the term seems mysterious.
You're not alone.
Many have no idea what bottled and bond mean.
Considered bottled in bond or bonded, the craft certification of it today.
Bona whiskey is a mark of provenance and transparency says Colin Spolman, the co-founder of the
head distiller of King's County distillery.
Spolman's distillery in Brooklyn, it's relevant to distillers today.
So did that answer the question?
No.
Okay.
In the late 1800s, many whiskeys were of...
What are you reading?
Well, it says right here, what is bottled in bond mean?
He's about to get to what I just described.
Go for it.
So in the late 1800s, many whiskeys were of questionable provenance.
Booze was bought in barrels, not bottles, which made it easy to tweak and taint.
Taint.
Spolman says that Kentucky distillers were undercut by those from Chicago that sold a
column distilled neutral spirit like vodka.
Wholesalers would blend or finish the spirit, often with the artificial flavors and additives
to stretch the whiskey.
The worst, glycerin caramel coloring, wood chips, and sometimes formaldehyde.
Yeah, it would kill people.
Even formaldehyde.
Right.
Yeah, to give the whiskey the vague taste of properly made traditional whiskey.
So basically, Bond or De Bond says, hey, man, we're doing the shit right.
We're not throwing any chaotic weird stuff in here.
Kind of like the FDA, right?
The government guaranteed the quality of it.
It was a program that distilleries could buy into to guarantee the flavor.
Was it a government?
Yeah, that's what it said.
Oh, okay, a government program.
I didn't know that either.
It said the Bottle and Bond Act of 1897.
As a reaction to widespread adulteration in American whiskey, just like he said.
Okay, well, there you have it.
It made the federal government the guarantor of a spirit's authenticity.
Gave producers a tax incentive for participating and helped ensure proper accounting and the
eventual collection of the tax.
Oh, okay.
Well, that's really why the government did it.
Right.
Interesting.
All right, so I got the match bill.
It is 84% corn, 8% rye, and 8% barley.
Heavy corn.
So what makes this...
84 corn?
84 corn.
Wow.
So this must not be aged in new oak barrels because otherwise it would be a urban, right?
Because that match bill matches...
It has to be at least 51% corn.
Well, it also has to go in at a specific proof.
That's another thing.
It has to go into the barrels at a specific proof.
So if it doesn't follow all those rules, it can't be claimed a whiskey.
A bourbon.
I'm sorry, a bourbon, yeah.
So far, this is a good one.
So it's 84, 8, 8.
Corn, rye, barley.
Good stuff.
All right, so this last two weeks, a very significant thing that's been happening, although
apparently most of America's not watching or didn't watch the Olympics.
Yeah.
The Olympics were a big thing when I was growing up.
I always looked forward to it.
Me too.
Sean's over there eating meat and drinking its juice.
And I always looked forward to it.
And Jim McKay, I believe he was the one who would do the Olympics way back then.
Way back then.
And then it was Costas.
Yeah.
And I always looked forward to it.
My wife and I really enjoy watching it.
And unfortunately, there are certain things I won't watch on it anymore.
And I think we've heard enough about it is the athletes themselves doing the stupid woke
shit.
Well, they're saying that that was...
They're using that platform to do their personal stuff.
It's inappropriate.
It totally is.
And they're saying that was the main driver, at least they think so, the main driver behind
the record low viewership.
Right.
Between the women's soccer team, the shot putter.
And there's others that are out there doing the men's basketball team.
They're NBA guys.
Any other countries that are doing that?
Not to the level of the US.
I mean, period though.
Are any of them doing it?
Well, I mean, the two teams that the US played, they all took a knee with the United States,
the women's soccer team.
Like Sweden took a knee.
I don't understand that.
And somebody else took a knee.
But did you notice that one didn't?
From Sweden?
No, from the US team.
Yeah, she stood and it was a major name.
Carly something?
Carly Lloyd?
I mean, she's a big time player on the team.
I wonder if her teammates gave her shit.
I don't know.
I think she comes from a military family.
And I think because I think she was kneeling.
And I think maybe somebody in her family said enough.
And so she's good.
I don't have, I have no idea.
But anyway, she's good.
And it was a moment they captured it.
Yeah, I didn't watch any soccer.
I didn't watch any basketball.
Yep, I refused to watch both of those sports.
They didn't show the lady shot put but I know she got second to last.
So she didn't perform at all.
And then the whole gymnastics thing.
Simone.
Which, you know, that's not being woke.
But that's not being woke.
You know, and there's things going back and forth that, you know, they're saying, you
know, it's a real thing that gymnasts get where they lose direction.
Right.
The twisties.
That's what they called it.
Yeah.
And, you know, if that's the case, I can kind of understand you don't want to be like your
equal room.
Yeah.
Yeah, I would imagine so.
And you're up there doing three flips and four twists and you don't know where the ground
is.
Right.
And you're 15 feet off the floor.
It just happened at a bad time.
And so that's her.
I've heard of it.
Yeah, that's that's it.
I don't know if it's an excuse because she couldn't handle the pressure or what.
You know, that's on her.
I think the other girls stepped up and performed what I did not like.
If that's the case, if she didn't want to do it, fine.
Stop showing her.
Stop interviewing her.
Stop showing her in the crowd.
Stop showing her.
Let's focus on the girls.
Yeah, but that's just doing it.
But that's the story.
Right.
The media is going to focus on that because that's the story.
Well, was she one of the one that was misrepresenting the United States?
When I say misrepresenting, I'm not saying dealing and being disrespectful.
No, she was not.
None of the gymnasts did that.
No, no, she did not do that.
But the problem I had is they they they just kept talking about her.
Yeah, they just wouldn't let it go.
Instead of the girls who stepped up and did it.
Let's let's talk about them.
Right.
Instead of the one who is not there.
I agree.
So yeah, and it was unfortunate that there were some people hating on each other back
and forth like some people were dogging her and then some people were horrified that they
would dog her and they were going back and forth.
I mean, it's just one thing after another to divide our country, right?
Just more and more division.
Right.
Anyway, so that that was a big deal.
But I thought what's her name?
Stepped up and got the all around goal.
That was awesome.
She did.
Yeah, she came up.
I don't remember her name.
Sunni Sunni Lee or something like that.
Sunni Lee.
She stepped up and got the all around goal.
That was awesome.
Good for her.
Yeah, it was awesome.
And there were some good moments as well in the Olympics.
Oh, yeah.
I watched the heck out of the swimming.
Yes.
I enjoyed watching those.
Yeah, there was some good moments there.
Yeah, there's anyone watching it.
That's too bad.
You don't like the Olympics or you just didn't know.
It's not that I don't like them.
I'm a little turned off on them.
So but it's not that I don't like them.
I just haven't had time.
Yeah, you know, it's really bottom line.
Yeah.
Well, I didn't watch the sports where, like I said, the women's sport or soccer team,
I don't watch any of that.
So I didn't see any of that.
I didn't notice anything on the swimming or the track that I've watched so far and gymnastics.
I didn't see anything as far as that woke bullshit.
Yeah.
I mean, I thought the same thing.
And I found that interesting that considering how many events were going on and how many
medals were awarded and how many athletes are there to take the whole thing as, you
know, woke and for people not to watch the press because the press covers the two or
three people that I know they they hammered it.
It's a small, small percentage of people who really went out of shape and they ruined it
for everyone else.
They really did.
And most of America apparently wasn't watching.
Ninety nine percent of the athletes are not like that.
Right.
Did you see the female wrestler from Texas when she won?
She's like freaking out and crying and freaking out crying and she was wearing the American
flag and I think the she's a black lady.
Right.
And I think the reporter was looking for something controversial.
He goes, she goes, so how does it feel wearing the flag and representing the U.S.?
And she's like, it's fabulous.
Right.
It's great.
I love this country.
It's given me everything.
Good for her.
Yeah.
And she was screaming it out loud and, you know, God bless USA and all that stuff.
And you know, that's what that's what it should be when you're with the Olympics.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
No, I agree.
I mean, you are absolutely there to represent your country.
Period.
I mean, yes, you know, there's personal satisfaction.
There's hard work you put in the work you train.
You do all that stuff.
But I mean, the goal there is to win is to win a gold medal for you and for your country.
And you can never not finish that sentence.
It's also for your country.
It is.
And I think that's what is lost on these woke people.
Right.
You know, the purple haired lady from the soccer team.
Yeah, did you see that the subway franchisees are getting there?
They're sick and tired of seeing her.
Well, they're getting grief.
Yeah.
They're customers.
Yeah.
Sick and tired of seeing her on their commercials.
Yeah.
I love that.
You know, there needs to be consequences for this.
Well, there is because the franchisees owners are because none of the stores are corporate
owned or subway.
They're all franchises.
I did not know that.
OK.
And so that's even more significant.
Yeah.
So all the French, not all of them, but a big majority of the franchisees owners are
complaining to corporate and needs to go because they're tired of explaining themselves to
their customers.
Right.
Yeah, no, I get it.
I get it.
There she is.
Good for her.
Yes, I did see that she was crying and emotional.
And that was awesome.
I don't remember what her name is, but.
But I think I think the best sport.
I think the best sport that I watched the most of was probably beach volleyball.
It was on a lot.
Of course, it was.
Shirley and I were both watching and I was just laughing and shaking my head.
And she was like, it's just so ridiculous.
They were zooming in on the butts, you know, when they're all bent over.
Oh, yeah.
They were zooming in on the cleavage, you know, whatever cleavage they could get.
Right.
Because those things are so tight and so funny.
I just was shaking my head laughing.
I was like, honey, I'm really into beach volleyball.
Can you can you not talk while watching this guy?
I want to get you a beach volleyball uniform.
Right.
You can wear around the house for Halloween.
Yeah, let's go as the A team.
They're calling them.
We're going to go as beach volleyball players.
Some of those women are big, too.
I mean, just framed.
I saw one of them.
One of them had like a little belly.
I was like shocked.
I mean, I mean, it was no big deal.
I mean, but I mean, every single one of them are like crazy skinny.
Right.
And even Shelley was like, well, none of them have any boobs anyway, because they have no
body fat and boobs are basically body fat.
So, you know, but I was like, yeah, there was like a Brazilian.
Look at the butts.
Oh, I know they had Brazilian.
You got to see that.
There was a yeah.
Yeah.
They performed.
Yeah, they zoomed in really close.
No, but there was a Brazilian, you know, and she was I mean, she wasn't fat by any stretch,
but she had had a little belly on her and I was shocked.
I was like, wow.
Well, one of the ladies on the US team that's still playing is six five.
Right.
What?
Yeah.
Wow.
She doesn't look six five because she most most ladies when they get that tall, they
get kind of gangly.
Yes, she's not.
Well, did you watch any of the volleyball?
They all look like freaks, freaks of nature.
They're all super like Japanese women that are six, four, six, five, six, six.
They're all that height in in volleyball, except for the setters, right?
The ones that were a different color.
You talk about the same volleyball or the regular volleyball.
Yeah, they're tall there too.
And they are crazy tall.
And yeah, it was it was kind of interesting.
I mean, I couldn't believe it.
Yeah, they're all like six, three, six, four, six, five.
And one team.
What was what was the Tunisia Tunisia is one of the teams, I guess, got a lot of coverage
because they got pretty far, I guess.
And there was like one hot chick on there.
And then she showed her.
Oh, they kept showing her, of course.
And you know, she's like a mega superstar model, Instagram.
You've got like three million followers.
I mean, in her country, she's the shit, right?
Right.
And there's people are freaking out about how pretty she is.
And she's a freaking phenomenal athlete and all that kind of stuff.
So anyway, yeah, Olympics, good stuff.
Yeah, they just ended.
No, it's over.
Yeah, it ended last weekend.
It is.
Yeah.
Oh, I found out a couple of days behind.
So we're playing catch up.
So how many I mean, who won as far as like the most gold medals?
We did.
It was close between China.
I don't know about gold medals, but we took it.
Yeah, we were we were behind on gold medals, but we were ahead on total medals.
But in the end, the women's track totally brought us home.
So the United States had 39 gold and China was very close second with 38.
Yep.
And we went up big time because it was it was within two two total medals there for
a while.
But Japan was in third with like 11 behind like 27, 27 gold medals.
That's a great showing for Japan in their home country.
So total 27 gold, that's awesome.
113 medals total for the United States for all three categories of gold, silver and bronze.
Yeah, we kicked ass shooting.
I think you see the thing where we were actually pretty good.
I think I think the shooting categories, I think we swept all medals.
Oh, yeah.
That's what was the one one guy shot at the other guy's target.
Oh, really?
On purpose.
I didn't see that.
No, by mistake.
I was definitely shot at the other guy's target, which like never happens.
Well, yeah.
Did he get looked at?
Looked at the Olympic shooting.
Look at putting in wrong target.
Was he an American?
I don't think so.
Olympic shooting wrong target.
It's pretty funny.
Dealing with Olympic failure.
That was 2012, 2016.
Those are some old stories.
Oh, OK.
Well, anyway, there we go.
Shot at wrong target cost rifle.
Scroll up to the top.
Is that recent?
No, 2011.
OK, well, that happened at the Olympics.
Obviously, it happens a lot.
That's funny.
Anyway, so what do they do?
They like spin.
You know how they spin on a bat?
You know, you put your forehead on a bat and you spin around like a hundred times and they
put a rifle.
They run around the rifle.
They make you ski down a mountain and then spin and then shoot.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, new Olympic sport.
Yeah, there was a couple of new Olympic sports.
Surfing.
And we won it.
The girl from a gold from Hawaii.
Yes, she won.
I'm sorry, what?
That's a proper.
So they did surfing.
And what was the other one?
What was that?
Did you stroke it out?
No, that was Hawaii.
I was doing it.
Gotcha.
Skateboarding.
Oh, yeah, that's what it was.
Skateboarding.
Skateboarding was there.
That was a new one.
And they're getting rid of the speed walking.
I saw that.
Not enough women were participating.
No, there was no equivalent.
Equivalent.
Female race.
That's correct.
To the 50 kilometer.
So like, this isn't fair.
Hold on.
What does that mean?
I guess the women didn't have a 50 kilometer.
Right.
The men had one, but the women didn't have one.
So they said, OK, we're going to cancel the men's.
Why not just make a woman's?
Right.
Because I can promise you there's plenty of women in the world that would love to compete
for a gold medal.
Yeah.
Why not just create a woman's instead of...
Because women can run marathons.
Why can't they do a 25K?
50K.
Oh, 50K.
I bet because the women were...
Oh, well, they can't do a 50K.
No, because they're smarter than us.
They just don't do it.
They're like, fuck that.
You guys are idiots.
Yeah.
Make them cancel the men because it's stupid.
50 kilometers, really?
Yeah.
That's a long ass way, man.
Yeah, I don't understand the...
Then they got it.
We're just going to cancel it.
Is that more than a marathon?
50 kilometers?
Yes.
Plus, I saw...
It's more than?
Or is it speed walking?
It's speed walking.
Plus, there's like rhythmic gymnastics that kind of spawned into something I've never
seen before.
They were like tossing up hula hoops and...
Oh, it was a team of like five.
And they had ribbons and stuff.
Yeah.
And they were like tossing up hula hoops and...
Oh, it was a team of like five.
And they had ribbons and stuff.
Yeah.
I mean, I've seen the ribbon where it doesn't touch the floor.
There's like one person out on the floor, but I've never seen like five people out there.
It's like Cirque du Soleil.
And they've got like a...
They got a ribbon.
They got hoops and batons.
And everyone's got to have something in their hands at all times.
And they're tossing this stuff back and forth.
Oh, I didn't see a team, a team of that like that.
Yeah, Sean was fascinating.
We were at Kelly's...
Look for rhythmic gymnastics.
I joined Bourbon and they were like, look at that.
There you go.
Oh, okay.
There you go, yeah.
Look, they have like these orbs and there's the batons.
Okay.
Oh, it's like right over our eyeballs.
That was an interesting way to do it.
Wow.
Yeah.
Wow.
Where are these girls from?
Okay.
Wow.
So...
Get a little racy now.
You've got synchronized dancing and these girls are talented, man.
Of course they are.
They're all doing their own shit and then all of a sudden out of the blue, they're synchronized.
It's kind of like they break down and...
Like swimming.
Yeah.
Did they have synchronized swimming this year?
They did, of course.
I didn't see any of it.
Yeah, we didn't see any.
Not that I looked for it, but...
Yeah, this is kind of weird.
Anyway, I do know that the ribbon thing was a huge source of...
Angst.
...controversy because Russia claimed that the Israeli who won the gold medal stole it,
like won it unfairly, and Russia was throwing a fit and being crazy ugly about it and wanting
to protest it with the judges and saying that if she were a decent human being, she would
just give us back that gold medal that she didn't earn.
It's the judges.
I know.
But they got all sorts of ugly about it.
So it's the judges if they screwed up.
They need to have a beef with the judges, not the contestant.
Well, they went...
Not the athlete.
They fired in every direction they could.
So what were they saying that the Israeli gymnast did that was wrong?
Well, for one thing, she dropped her ribbon, and they said that alone should have been
enough for her to not win the gold.
Again, that's on the judges.
But the reality is she had a much more difficult routine, and so they did do the deduction
of dropping the ribbon, and it was still better than the Russian, right?
Right.
And the irony is Russia did the same thing in a previous Olympics where they dropped
the ribbon and they still won gold.
So it's total hypocrisy.
What I don't understand is they're not the Russian team.
It's the Russian Olympic Committee.
Because they got caught cheating.
Yes.
Like systemic...
This is like the second time this has happened.
Yeah, like systemic state cheating, like at the highest worst level.
Which is stupid because, okay, you can't go as Russia, but you can go as Russian Olympic Committee.
Oh, it was totally capitulation.
Yeah, they're still going.
I know.
They should be, you are independent.
Yeah.
If you want to go and your country just completely jacked you out of the chance, you go as an independent.
I agree.
And then there were apparently two or three that were cited as part of the doping thing,
like heavily involved, their names were all over it or something like that, and they were clearly banned.
Could not go to the Olympics.
Three days before the Olympics started, they said, okay, you're back in.
Really?
I mean, they're just totally capitulating to Russia.
And I'm sure they've got power on the IOC, what is it, the Olympic Committee.
Olympic, yeah.
International Olympic Committee.
I mean, I'm sure there's all sorts of power going on and, you know, just like any other politician, right?
I mean, it's just corruption.
Well, they make a shit ton of money, too.
Oh, of course.
Again, I think we've had this talk, but I think the Olympics will be gone before we die.
No.
Just because it's too expensive.
These countries can't afford either that or they're going to have to change.
They're going to have to say...
I think they did a fantastic way of changing it this year, and there's been a lot of people that disagree,
and I know they did it because of different reasons.
What are you referring to?
I'm referring to how they just have the performers go out and tell their family...
Oh, no crowds, you mean?
Yeah, family and friends, hey, man, look, sorry, you know, watching on TV.
That's how they make money.
Because of COVID, of course.
You know what? Okay.
That's how the...
No kidding.
That's how, you know, that's how the area makes money.
But, you know...
That's what I mean.
Look, Tokyo lost out on tons of money, I'm sure.
They lost their ass on this.
You know what, though?
Look, it's not about...
That's not what the Olympics are about.
No, I agree.
So it's about...
What it is for the host country.
It is about making money.
It is.
Oh, yeah.
It is.
Not for the athletes.
It is, but the spirit of the Olympics has nothing to do with money.
It has everything to do with trying to get the best Olympian out there.
Sure.
So that's what they needed to go back on, and I think that this is the perfect way to do it.
I say if you got a small arena, that's it.
I think that it gets...
Because they have to...
Like, we've talked about this in the past.
We have to build up these huge communities like Russia.
They built this frickin' city.
Right.
That's a ghost town now.
Yeah.
It's a waste of money.
Sochi.
So basically, at that point, if you do that, you could say, Frisco, you won the Olympics
because we have a world stadium.
We have Toyota for soccer.
We have the natatoriums.
And I do remember them saying that they were going to basically limit the Olympics to like
five cities in the world that already have all this stuff.
Going forward?
Yeah.
Who said that?
I said that.
I just remember it being debated.
I don't remember...
I've said that.
I said this is what they should do.
I agree.
I think it's ridiculous.
They needed to set it up with the infrastructure there.
Maybe you did say that, yeah.
Yeah.
That's my idea.
Yeah.
Are you on the IOC, though?
I'm going to take over.
Yeah.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I'm taking over UN, too.
You guys are going to be very influential and powerful.
Our Bourbon collection is going to get bigger.
That's one of your main goals of joining the UN.
It's a staple.
It's interesting.
Yes.
So, Olympics.
The next one...
The next winter one will be interesting to see if we attend or not.
So is that next year?
Yes.
It's in...
You know where it's at?
In China.
Beijing.
Beijing, China.
You're very spirited with some of the things that you are saying tonight.
Yes.
So I'm curious if it's even going to happen since that's the origination and the hotbed
for this virus that's going around.
Yeah, they...
I don't know.
Are they going to have it?
I have definitely heard people say America should boycott because of the...
I think the other countries should as well.
Yeah, because of the bullshit with the whole COVID.
Not just that, but just the way the chat is behaving right now.
Yeah.
What are they doing right now?
Just not complying to the inspections?
Well, first off, they have...
Well, they have active genocide going on.
You have the Uighur Muslims.
Yeah, they're killing like millions of them.
Right.
Putting them in concentration camps and killing them.
Yeah.
I mean, it's just...
China is nobody's friend.
I can promise you that.
They want to take over the world in every way, shape, and form, economically, militarily.
They're threatening war if anyone gets in the way of them taking over Taiwan.
Yeah.
I mean, they're just not a good country.
Anyway, but I don't know.
I mean, usually people overlook all that stuff for the Olympics, right?
Because it's supposed to be apolitical and all that kind of stuff.
Well, with Biden in office, I don't see it happening.
Oh, he loves China.
I think if...
His whole family has made...
If Trump was in office, he'd be like, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Biden's whole family has made millions off of China.
So they're euthanizing Muslims.
Whole race, yes.
And it's a religion.
And you're using them as slave labor.
Well, it's these Uighurs, right?
Well, I guess it's not a race.
It's a part of...
I thought it was.
When you said Uighurs, I was looking at it like, where are those white guys at?
You know, that's what you call them, Uighurs.
Wow.
So what are Uighurs?
That's what they are.
And it's spelled U, like U, there we go.
U-Y-G-H.
Oh, there you go.
Uighurs.
Y-U-G-H-U-R-S.
Uighurs.
Yeah.
Who are the Uighurs?
And why is China being accused of genocide?
So they're putting them in concentration camps, basically, in slave labor camps and making
them farm all the precious metals out of the earth and to have a number...
Yeah, I don't know what they're making them do.
I just know that it's bad.
That's really, really bad.
And China won't address it at all, I don't believe.
Not that I've seen.
They have detained more than a million against their will, reeducation camps, and sentenced
hundreds of thousands to prison.
There was a drone that flew over some sensitive area in China and the film got released.
And there was all these, these look like prisoners, all in the same uniforms, and they were loading
them up on trains and sections.
Yeah.
And someone was calling them out for that.
The guy was like, where'd you get that video?
You know, the China diplomat.
Where'd you get that video?
Of course he said, where'd you get the video?
I don't know how to say it.
How do you do Chinese?
What's that?
That was your Chinese attempt?
Yeah, I saw it.
Where'd you get that video?
No, that's definitely Indian.
That sounded like the Federals.
Federals?
On Star Wars.
They took heat for that.
Oh yeah, they did take heat for that.
They took major heat for that.
But anyways, that was some crazy shit.
Because I mean, that was just recent.
That was within a couple years ago.
Within a couple years.
I'm telling you, China is evil.
They're evil.
You know, we got shit, like, you know, they're still calling, right there.
I think that's part of it, I think.
You know, I think that's it.
What are they doing?
Oh yeah, there they are.
They're all on their knees.
Oh, that's a different one.
But still, that's okay.
That doesn't look good either.
Looks like Uyghurs.
So they're blindfolded.
They've got these blue vests on with, you know, gray and orange body suits underneath.
And they're just, they're just cleanly shaving heads.
And they're ready to, I don't know, I don't know what they're doing.
They're just led away by the police and they're going to, I don't know, put them in a, so
that video is believed to be made in 2018, so that's just within a couple years.
So you know, and where are they?
They burn these people?
They've been to these mass grave sites?
I have no idea.
I don't know either.
You figure that with all the satellite imagery that we could be able to get, we would be
able to find that out.
Oh, we have.
Oh, sure.
I mean, we do know what's going on, but the government's not going to say anything about
it.
You know, I don't know, some crazy times right now.
I feel completely different than I did about the world 10 years ago.
You know, I just think China's taken over and they have been taken over.
Oh yeah.
No, they've been playing a long game, you know, and they are in control at this moment.
I think one of the more frightening things is they make the vast majority of our medicine.
Yeah, that was alarming to read.
And if that's not corrected, that's going to be the problem.
Well, Trump was like, bring it back and bring it back now.
And I don't think it ever happened.
Maybe some of it did, but it can't happen that quickly.
Those manufacturers, they need to say we're going to, instead of $4 a pill, it's going
to be $7 a pill and we're going to make it here.
Right.
I agree.
I mean, we've got, I mean, there's too much risk.
It goes on and on and on.
I mean, they've stolen all of our military secrets.
They have a head start on the space race, which means, you know, if a war starts, they're
going to take out all of our GPS satellites and our military is going to be worthless.
You know what I mean?
I mean, it's bad news, man.
They're positioning themselves for some serious shit.
Well, think about all those people who take insulin.
Your supply is gone.
Right.
How many people are that going to kill?
Right.
Right there alone.
I know.
And I was reading an article today.
They're like, we lose a war with China today.
We lose.
I don't know about, I think we, I don't know about the space race.
I haven't read about that.
Yeah.
Well, if you think of it.
I think technology wise, I think our technology is still better than theirs.
Yeah.
And as the space race, yeah, I agree with you, but that's not what Paul was saying.
He was saying that what they have in the space right now is the ability to handicap us hugely
just by striking those satellites.
Correct.
Which is why Trump started that new, the new branch.
Space Force.
It's a hundred percent because we have to protect our military assets from space.
Yeah.
So I mean, I, you know, forgive my ignorance on this.
What the fuck is the space force?
You know, it's a brand new branch of the military.
I know that.
But I mean, what, I mean, are they based in space?
There's satellites and shit like that.
It's not astronauts floating around up there.
Yeah, I know that.
But I mean, actually that's, that's not, that may be true right now, but I'm sure that's
not going to be true.
I'm thinking that we're going to have some sort of a hundred years from now international.
Absolutely.
I bet you there's military space stations up there.
A hundred years from now.
Sure.
Oh yeah.
I mean, it's probably, but it's more, it's more about the satellites.
It's about more about the satellites and you know.
Oh yeah.
It's about protecting.
It's about building weapons that can take out our enemy's satellites and building weapons
to protect our own.
That's what it is right now.
That's what the game is right now.
You know, my fear is, I've got all kinds, but it's like moon raker.
Yeah.
I think I hit on something on that is that my fear is that the, I don't, I don't know
what country somebody is going to go up and start fucking with the moon.
And my fear is that once they start fucking with the moon, they're going to fuck with
that.
That's gravity.
They're going to fuck with the planet tides.
Yeah.
Cause once you start, the moon is gigantic.
You can't fuck with the moon.
Well, you start a point where you're like making it change its orbit and like messing
up the tides and stuff.
How do you know?
I'm cause it's, you can't, it's huge.
You know what kind of force it would take to mess with the moon?
A bunch of nukes.
Yeah.
I guess.
Bruce, Bruce Willis.
Yeah.
You know, you're kind of talking about, uh, who's the, uh, who's Armageddon?
Come on.
Who's the guy with the long nose, the cartoon and Steve Carell?
Pinocchio.
Despicable Me.
Doesn't he steal the moon?
I don't know.
You've never seen Despicable Me?
No, my kids are grown.
With the minions?
I've seen the minions.
Actually, I think I did see Despicable Me.
I was going to say.
I saw Despicable Me, but that was a great show.
He stole the moon.
Yeah.
He stole the moon because he was, it's about, it's about these hoodlums, you know, trying
to outdo each other.
Like who can, who can pull off the bigger job?
So he goes and steals the moon.
Oh yeah.
Where's he put it?
He's able to shrink it.
See, look, he's got it in his hand.
He has a shrinking device.
Is that the first one?
I don't remember that at all.
I don't remember.
Is that the first one?
Yeah.
It says 2010.
So my kids, I did see that then, but I don't remember that at all.
It was so good.
I don't remember it either.
I remember enjoying it.
I used to work with someone.
So that's what China's planning on doing.
Stealing the moon.
Well, shrinking it.
But my point is, is that shrink ray, you know, you don't know what the, nobody knows.
I mean, we don't know what's going on up at the moon.
I mean, we don't know the dark side of the moon.
I mean, we don't have any maps that say what's on the other side.
China landed on the dark side of the moon.
So maybe you're right, but we don't have anything.
We don't have any building, building something over there.
I don't think it's a matter of them building something.
The transformers are like, I'm just thinking all they have to do is have an accident and
where they've got some nuclear powered something and it blasts that thing.
It just, it just say knocks it off course of 1%, a 0.1%.
And I'm thinking 0.1% in an orbit can get that thing to start spinning.
Perhaps.
I don't know.
You have very interesting conspiracy theories.
You had another one that was eyebrow raising.
What was the other one?
When you were talking about, you were talking about ancient civilizations and aliens.
And there was something that had to do with, I don't remember now, but you're very interesting
conspiracy theories.
Well, you know, if you think it like that, an asteroid could hit the moon and do the
same thing.
Oh, and it will.
That's true too.
And it's inevitable.
Now that has the force of like a thousand nuclear bombs.
Here's what I think.
I think this is, you know, someone asked me what's the secret of life.
I would say it's like the polarity, magnetism.
And I'm thinking, well, maybe that's what keeps the moon in check.
Maybe the fact that we're, it's polar opposites.
And so maybe it's north south.
And that's the reason why it doesn't spin.
It does.
It does spin.
It spins at the same rate as the earth.
The exact same rate that I find fascinating.
So but is that I know, I know.
But what if it's not?
What if the earth has maybe there's something you're saying the moon's not spinning?
No, maybe it's not.
Maybe it's like tethered by a magnetic pull from the earth.
But it is spinning.
It is spinning.
And the earth is not flat.
No, hold on.
So I'm holding up an imaginary ball.
All right.
And I'm holding up a pen.
Yes.
I understand what you're saying, but the moon is spinning.
It is spinning.
But how do you know that?
Just because the earth, it's spinning at the same time as the earth is going around, right?
Because we have like, we have like scientific devices that can measure this shit.
I smell vanilla.
So if it's spinning, then why can't we see the other side?
I was expecting this kind of like, whoa, that's out of this world.
I was expecting that in the second episode, not the first.
But you went early on this one, Sean.
You pulled the whoa.
I understand what you're trying to say, but I think it's.
I don't know.
I mean, I don't see how you can say it's spinning when it's clearly not.
The moon?
Clearly is.
They know beyond the shadow of a doubt.
How is it spinning?
That it's spinning.
If the moon face is always facing the earth, how can it be spinning?
Well, how can you say the flash not the earth isn't flat?
That's retarded.
But the moon not spinning, is it?
Because we're spinning around around the sun and the moon is spinning around us.
And the earth spins while it's spinning around the sun, making the 24 hours in a day.
But the moon doesn't do that.
How do you know?
Because there's no day on the other side of the moon.
There is.
You just can't see it.
I guess there is.
That's the new moon in black.
The whole.
Yeah, I guess it is.
Yeah.
Awkward now.
Tell you what, let's have an episode where we talk about lunar lunar particulars.
We'll call it the lunar podcast.
We're going to need a special specialist to come in here.
Rocks.
One thing, one thing that is kind of crazy.
I've always been I always quiz my kids.
Is it waxing or waning?
What what what phase is it right of the moon?
But when I try to hold up like like what you just did, when I try to hold up a tennis ball
and a marble and and and and have, you know, a basketball as the sun and I try to position
the moon to make it explain those phases, I I I quickly go, oh, yeah, it just does it.
I can't I can't figure out where does the moon have to be to have it?
And I know they have it all figured out.
And I'm sure we could pull up a YouTube and it would have a scientific model.
The earth is blocking the sun, right?
Which causes it to go dark.
Right.
Yes.
Yes, that is true.
But again.
Or is that an eclipse?
Well that well, it's both.
Right.
It's both.
The new moon, the new moon is being.
Yeah.
You know, you know, it was like I said, what's in the way?
It was really so there you go.
That's actually a good picture right there on the on the right.
The sun coming and see right there.
So you notice how the moon on the right hand side is a new moon because the opposite side.
The opposite side of that moon is lit, but the part of the moon facing the earth is not
lit.
So it's a new moon.
We can't see it.
It's reflecting no sunlight.
So it's not truly the dark side of the moon.
It's just we've just never seen that side of the moon.
Correct.
Now, on the opposite side of the of the earth, you see it's a full moon and you'd almost
think, well, how can the sunlight get to that moon because the earth should be blocking
it?
Yes, that's an eclipse.
But the moon is not exactly.
You know what you mean?
It's they're not on the same line.
They're not on the same line.
So you have to accept when they have the eclipse, except when they have the eclipse.
So that moon that's behind the earth on the left hand side is higher than the higher up
on the earth, you know, above the earth so that it is reflecting a full the whole side
of that moon is reflecting the sun.
Correct.
It's complicated.
All right.
Well, it is complicated.
All the while, it's spinning at the same rate.
We don't need people to be landing on the moon and jack shit up and and altering it
or whatever.
I don't know.
I mean, I think we should make lunar bases.
They are.
They do want to do a lunar base.
That's in the works.
Did you see that the is it NASA or somebody wants to build?
I think it was a 17 or 18 square foot.
I'm going to say house, but a facility for people to live in for and be remote to test
what they would be like to live on Mars.
Right.
So you're going to go outside and you're going to have a small building.
You're basically going to live your entire rest of your life.
But didn't they sort of do that in Arizona?
Well, they tried and that the biosphere.
Yes.
And they failed miserably.
Well, they cheated.
Yeah.
Did you watch that?
Did you watch that documentary?
No, I've been to it.
Well, I know, but you watch and they described it.
Yeah.
So were they like sneaking in snacks and things?
Yeah.
Yes.
Well, so what?
Well, that's not the point of the whole experiment is for them to be trapped in that thing and
have to eat, grow their own food, eat their own food and see if it's sustainable for five
years.
I don't know.
I don't remember how long it was, but they cheated.
They ordered Domino's.
Yeah.
They delivered pizza, I think.
Did they really?
I think.
But there's like a little door there passing shit back and forth.
And you know who the guy was who they brought in at the end to help clean this up with Steve
Bannon?
Yes, that's right.
You told that story.
Watch.
I think it's on Netflix.
It's either on Netflix or Amazon.
Yeah, it's enough.
And it's it was fascinating.
And one of the guys died, I think.
While they were there?
No.
I think or shortly thereafter.
He got cancer.
So I did a tour of the whole place and they talked about it and all that kind of stuff.
I don't.
How did he die?
I don't recall from dying.
I don't know if he died within him.
He may have died shortly thereafter.
So they wouldn't let him out of the biosphere?
I don't remember.
That's fucked up.
To let your buddy die of cancer, but you're going to go in and sneak in a pizza.
What are you going to do if you're on Mars?
You can't leave and go get cancer treatment.
It's food.
Oh, come on.
Are you committed or not?
Meat.
I mean, no.
All right.
Well, they don't sign up for the program.
I mean, look, if I get cancer, I mean, there's got to be like, all right, of course, they
would let you out.
Did you see that?
I'm not going to let you die in there.
Did you see their little ocean or whatever they had?
Yes.
So no, and it's still there.
They saw plants and shit growing up and they have and they have they have an ocean.
Yeah.
Well, that's not an ocean, but it's it's.
I think it has tide, doesn't it?
Or doesn't it?
Yeah.
Waves or something.
Something went horribly wrong.
And yeah, and all the plants died.
What do you mean something went horribly wrong?
You said that twice.
In the in the ocean experiment, they created a gigantic aquarium out of saltwater in this
biosphere thing.
Right.
And something I think something failed.
The chemicals got off or something.
Yes, all the animals and mollusks and stuff died.
Yeah, but there are still fish in there.
There's still fish in there.
Original.
I don't know.
It's a cool.
You know, that's strange as hell to me.
How can you get the chemicals off when you're constantly I mean, when there's nothing when
your job is to make sure that I am the absolute authority on treating this water, the shit's
going to get out of whack.
Yeah, it did.
That doesn't say a lot.
It doesn't.
I mean, they should fire the guy in charge.
I don't know.
They had their own air, I think.
Maybe it just goes to prove how out of control we are.
We really have no control over Mother Nature.
We can manipulate it to a certain point, but Mother Nature has her divine path and she's
going to take it.
That was it.
They just showed it.
He just showed a picture of it.
What was it?
The biosphere, the fire spirit.
There's a bunch of little right there.
Yeah, we visited that like the jungle right there.
The big pyramid looking thing.
You had the all the labs and stuff and obviously what's in this?
What's up with the skylight one?
That's kind of cool.
I don't think we went up that tower.
That would be my room.
That's where they made porn.
Oh, that's definitely my room.
Bio porn.
Bio bio porn.
Yeah.
Well, because that's going to be huge on Mars.
Was that designed to mimic life on Mars or life on the moon?
I think so.
Yes.
I think it was more moon back then.
I don't know if it was Mars or the moon.
I don't think it had anything to do with where.
I just think that they wanted to know if they could, if whatever planet was, hell it could
be floating out in the middle of space.
They just wanted to know if they could survive without dominoes and the answer was no.
Yeah.
It's a big resounding no.
It would be cool to have some sort of self-sustaining, I mean they've got those self-sustaining orbs
or jars of plants, put little soil in there, put a cap on there.
How long does that last?
Well, I mean this guy said, hey man, I've had this for 70 years and they've got pictures
of it and it's green, it's got stuff in there and it's maintaining itself.
Does it have like lizards in it?
You know, I don't know what it's got in it.
The point is that it has life in it.
Well yeah, but you've got to be able to grow like tomatoes and green beans.
I'm just saying that's at a microscopic level.
I know, I'm just putting human in that.
Well, I mean if you get a big enough place out there, can you imagine just floating out
in the middle of space, just continuously going and you're in like...
I've seen lots of movies.
Movies, yeah.
Yeah, well those don't end well.
Those like, not usually.
And I've seen all kinds of movies like that.
I usually like...
The Passengers, do you guys watch The Passengers?
With, gosh, who were the two?
Jeff McConaughey?
No, it was about two, they were on this, I don't know, 500 year journey and two of them
woke up early.
Oh yeah, is that the dude with the Guardians of the Galaxy?
Yeah, Chris Pratt, and I don't remember who the girl was.
I have not seen this.
The girl that was in Hunger Games.
Jennifer Lawrence.
Yeah, so he wakes up early and then she does.
Well, no, so...
I haven't seen it.
You guys are going to spoil this for me.
He wakes up early and...
Don't give it away.
Yeah, don't give it away.
Fuck Paul.
What?
I mean, I don't really want to have sex with you, but fuck you.
No!
Don't spoil this.
But it's that kind of thing where they built the ship to last...
120 years.
Something ridiculous.
So that they can make it to another colony.
Right, a star.
A long way.
But they were supposed to sleep the entire way.
Yeah, there was no...
Oh, and they woke up early.
Yeah.
Well, they didn't wake up early.
There was a mechanical issue.
There you go.
Where you're not supposed to have a mechanical issue thing.
Right.
And then a couple of the asteroid had come through and just...
And broke something.
Oh, I see.
Things started...
It is good.
Exponentially worse and worse.
Yeah, so they were by themselves.
Oh, nice.
They were by themselves for...
Do they have sex?
Well, she was pissed.
Full graphic on sign.
Full nude.
Yeah.
Oh, sweet.
Get me more full nude.
Full nude.
Butt luge.
Actually, you know what?
This is one of the movies I actually purchased.
That's how much I enjoyed it.
It was good.
I recommend it.
I'm amazed.
Okay, I'm getting it on the list.
I didn't know.
I love these kind of shows.
Yeah, it was well done.
Yeah, it really was.
And I like Chris Pratt.
I'm going to go back and watch Parks and Rec.
Did you guys ever watch that?
No.
No, I used to watch that every single night.
So you did or you did not?
You said no, but then you said...
I used to watch it, yes.
No.
Was it good?
Parks and Rec?
Yeah, I enjoyed it.
I mean, I got burnt out on it, but I mean, because when I watched these shows, I was
like, I mean, I watched them like, what is it, like 10 seasons.
I watched them all.
Chris Pratt is in that?
Yes, he is.
He's funny.
That's where he got his start.
And then I watched them again and then again and then again from season one to 10.
And I do it with a bunch of different things.
Like It's Always Sunny and, you know, Modern Family.
Just, you know, a bunch of shows I liked until I get sick of them.
Happy Days?
No.
No, Happy Days never really made the list.
I don't think Happy Days would.
But I wouldn't mind going back and watch Laverne Shirley.
The Cosby Show.
Well, did I tell you guys that we got Hulu because I wanted to...
Archie Bunker.
That would be funny.
The...
Letter Kenny?
Whatever show.
Mary Tyler Moore Show.
Thank you for sharing.
Remember, we've been talking about that.
Oh, yeah.
It's on Hulu?
It's on Hulu.
And then also what was the...
New episodes?
And then the other one was Bob Newhart.
Are these new episodes?
They're brand new.
So I got Hulu because I wanted my...
I figured my parents would want to watch those shows, and so, yeah, we watched a whole bunch
while I was in Colorado.
But now you need to watch Letter Kenny.
I do.
I do need to.
Oh, no, I already can't.
What was the...
The Bob Newhart Show.
No, I have it until the 16th, so...
Cram it in.
Okay, I will.
The Bob Newhart Show is in San Francisco.
Never watched that.
It's funny.
I like Bob Newhart.
Now, I thought there was two...
I thought there was two Bob Newhart shows because...
There were.
I would...
One was back in the 70s.
I didn't want to watch the first one.
I wanted to watch the second one.
Yeah, the first one was back in the 70s.
I remember his secretary had a big red Afro.
Yes.
And it was very 70s.
What, the Bob Newhart Show?
I don't know...
Yeah, it was called the Bob Newhart Show.
I've seen them both.
One was the Bob Newhart Show, and then another one...
Newhart.
I think it was just called Newhart, right?
Yeah, then the spin-off was when he retired.
And he and his wife went to...
No, it was a completely different show.
And that was...
It was a completely different show.
It was a whole lot better.
Because one of the jokes was, I think on the last episode, he woke up, and he woke up next
to his wife from the first show.
Okay.
Suzanne Plachette.
And the whole thing was a dream?
I don't know.
I didn't watch, but I remember that was a thing.
So put Bob Newhart, San Francisco.
Newhart.
That's what I wanted to watch.
So that's his wife there on the left during the whole program.
And then I don't know if it was the last episode or one of the episodes, he woke up, and he
woke up next to his...
His wife from the other show?
From the other show.
Right.
He's like, what's going on?
Oh, that's funny.
That's kind of funny.
I didn't see that.
I never watched this.
And I think this is the one where they had the three brothers and it was stupid.
My brother Darrell, my other brother Darrell.
Yeah.
That's what I was expecting, but it was the other one I went to, and that was a mistake.
So I need to go back.
That guy on the right was in Mark and Mindy, I believe.
Oh, yeah.
And the handyman.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's funny.
Good stuff.
Didn't Bob Newhart die here recently?
Yeah, he probably did.
Yeah, I know he was fairly old.
I don't know if...
He was funny, though.
He was really funny.
I liked him.
Yeah.
No, he's not dead.
Wow, he's 91.
There you go.
He's not dead.
That's amazing.
We haven't killed him off.
Yeah.
Man, you know what, Bob Newhart was in some show.
I want to say he was an artist, and I'm trying to figure out what the name of it, but whatever.
We don't have to look it up or anything, but...
Oh, he was in a different show.
It was an 80s show, and it was like in San Francisco, and he was married, lived on the
top floor, and one of his...
I don't know if they own the building and he's renting...
Was it Jefferson's?
No.
Really?
Moving on up?
No.
I used to watch that every day, Jefferson's.
Keep going.
I don't know if you can remember about it.
Maybe we can figure it out.
You know, that's basically it.
And he had some weird guy.
I'm not sure if he was gay.
He was really goofy looking.
Yeah, kind of a Jack Tripper kind of style character on there, and Bob Newhart would
always make fun of him.
Lerner Kenney is actually...
I enjoyed it.
Lerner Kenney's got kind of a different spin because it's stupid, but yet it's smart.
And because they use a lot of, I want to say Shakespearean type of the way they say things.
It's the stuff that you learn in English, like in your sophomore year, where you have
repeated letters and in the styles.
Yeah, the style of poetry.
These guys, they nail it and they do it fast and with a straight face.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
I think what's funny on the show is the bartenderess.
She's so raunchy.
Whatever she's talking to you, she's talking to you in this very...
I don't know, like she wants to have sex with you on the spot and she's all writhing in
the air and everything she says is sexually charged when she's having a conversation.
She's just like all writhing and everything.
It's kind of funny.
She's ready to pounce.
She's like, do me now.
But she's having a conversation with you.
That's funny.
Oh, and I'll watch it.
It's good.
Lerner Kenney, got it.
I can't believe you haven't started already.
Well, I mean, I didn't...
I'm on the last season.
I didn't remember that it was on Hulu.
Have you watched all of them?
No, I stopped watching it because I want to get back into it.
I don't want to...
There's a new season I would like on episode three or four of the final season or the last
season anyway.
I mean, the last one I saw, maybe the first or second episode into one of the seasons.
Remember when the sister gets cheated on and everyone's trying to beat the shit out of
that dude?
Well, I saw episode one and two of the following season, but I stopped because I was like,
no, no, I'm going to savor this.
Let them build back up.
Yeah.
It's good.
And the fact that it's very fast talking back and forth, so you don't have to listen.
Well, I'm not any subtitles.
They're Canadian.
Canadian subtitles?
Yeah.
All right.
Well, did we finish talking about anything loose ends on the whole Olympics conversation?
No, I think we finished it.
There was a lot going on.
There's a lot.
I mean, there's a million different sports, right?
So I did see one.
I never saw it on the TV, though.
I saw a highlight on was it YouTube or Instagram or one of those things where I think it was
the American decathlete.
He was doing the long jump and he was running down.
You know how they're supposed to plant their foot on the white line and then jump, right?
Well, he did that.
And I think he popped his hammy.
Oh, no.
And basically he planted that foot and then dove like eight feet headfirst into the sand
and just laid there.
And it was just so violent looking that you're just like, holy shit.
You know, he just Superman it instead of doing his jump.
He was like, and he laid there.
And you really could tell.
I think the announcer said he was recovering from a hamstring.
So they're thinking that it was his hamstring that popped.
And yeah, there were a couple there are a couple of weird things like that.
There's also I don't know if it was a fifteen hundred meters, but these the women were running
and somebody fell and the girl behind her fell.
It's that Belgian decathlete wheeled off after 2016 Belgian.
He came in fourth in the 2016.
OK.
That would have bummed deal, man.
So they're going to show it.
I hate to laugh.
Sorry.
Oh, they really show that look awful.
His lace there.
Yeah.
It's almost like he just throws his leg over and he just pops.
Yeah.
I don't know what would ultimately happen, but I see if they play that again or I mean,
try to figure out what happened.
Oh, OK.
So she's got his leg just kicks over to the to the right and takes out his other leg.
Did he just trip?
I don't think so.
I think something I think something happened.
And so he just stopped and he was like second place.
Foul.
Yeah.
Red flag come up.
Right.
You need to be rude.
They should have thrown a yellow flag on a foul.
Like they run over and put it in his face.
Yeah.
But he laid there for a long time and they had to bring a stretcher out for him.
So I don't know exactly what happened, but he was he was I think he was they said he
was like contending.
Right.
Yeah.
He was in the running.
Yeah.
And that's when I was talking about where the women the woman went down and took out
the girl behind her and then she got up.
And like at that point, you're done.
She didn't win it.
She ended up winning.
Yeah, I saw that.
She just like freaking took off and passed everybody and won.
It was crazy.
Yeah, it was during the fifteen hundred meters.
She gets back up to win.
That was that was a cool story.
Yeah, there's always some really good stories.
How could you even how can you do that?
Well, that's happened before.
I mean, first off, you're supposed to be on a pace.
You're supposed to be on a pace to where you're going to be exhausted when you cross the finish
line.
I think the adrenaline kicks in at that point.
Well, that's exactly what happened.
She went down and started sprinting at a much higher pace.
Right.
And then didn't stop.
That's happened before.
I've seen some footage of that happening where someone gets tripped and they get like 50
yards behind and it takes, you know, almost the whole race.
Couple laps.
Yeah.
And they win it.
And the guy was a guy at this time and he ended up winning it.
That's amazing.
That should I mean, theoretically, that should never be even possible.
Yeah, but they've got that.
Like you said, it's adrenaline.
It does weird stuff to you.
It does.
I mean, like impossible stuff.
Like, I mean, you got stories where people are lifting up cars.
Right.
So it's like extra superhuman energy.
Yeah.
And you figure they would they would try to harness that as part of racing.
You know, I don't think you can just turn on and off.
No, you can't.
It has to be something that's unexpected.
You know, I feel like they're like I'm trying to think of the superhero is anywhere you
see this anywhere you see that will be watching.
You know, it's like Black Lives Matter.
Anytime they see a white officer kill a black person, they'll be there.
You know?
Yeah.
Well, those are the professional protesters, right?
Go around the same people go around to different cities.
Did you know the young lady police officer in Chicago that just got shot?
I know.
How sad is it?
I mean, it's sad when any of them just pass away.
She's 29.
Just got back from maternity leave.
I didn't hear that.
Just got back from first woman.
First female police officer killed in 33 years.
First day back from maternity leave.
That's awful.
And she's beautiful, too.
Yeah, she's a pretty lady.
You saw what when when the mayor Lightfoot came to the hospital, they kick her out.
No, they turned their backs on her.
They turned their backs on her.
Really?
I did not see that.
Yeah.
In the hospital.
How did she address that?
She talked really loud.
Hey, guys, guys, I'm over here.
No, I'm kidding.
And she like stick her head up.
She walked around the room to get on the other side and then they turned around again.
I didn't see any video.
They had one picture of a bunch of officers just facing the other direction.
But you didn't have any really real context of where she was standing.
No picture didn't do it justice.
But they turned their back while she was speaking.
And I guess media was there.
That's the reason why they want the media doesn't want to show that.
And and they turned their backs.
I don't see how she won.
She's not a good speaker.
I don't know.
I don't understand how she got it.
Because Chicago's totally jacked.
Well, I know, but she used to work for George Soros directly.
Yeah, you can put you can put any liberal Democrat on a ballot there and they'll be
like, OK, I wonder if she's does she say she's going to run again?
I don't know.
Because I don't see how she could win.
I tell you what, she's I'm not going to go up very far on a limb here.
She may be one of the hottest mayors in the country.
She looks like General Ackbar.
She looks awful.
I hate to eat.
She's got a little bit of needle juice.
I hate to pick on her looks, but she is atrocious.
God.
Paul.
I know.
Mean.
I tell you, I just finished off the the dickle in this this 13 year old dickle.
Yeah.
Good.
Very tasty.
I want to say the very last poll.
I did it with a swig of beer.
I tasted a little coconut.
Old.
We finally found our coconut bourbon.
Yeah, but this was not bourbon, though.
Now it's a whiskey.
So let's make sure we go back and get one this week distilled in charcoal.
I want to keep one.
I want to keep one in the vault on that one.
Tullah, Homa, Tennessee, Hunter proof.
Yeah, good stuff.
I just had my last little swig as well and it was it was good.
It was really good.
It is very exciting to have all these bourbons sitting here.
So for those people that don't know our host here, Mr. Jeff, where we had to do the podcast
at is doing some house upgrades, getting some painting done.
And so we had to relocate all the bourbons onto our executive desk where we have our
podcast.
So we've got all I don't even know how many there's going to be over there.
It's ridiculous.
I think up to 80.
It's exciting.
I'm looking at them and we have five more downstairs.
It's ridiculous.
I want that.
I do know.
Pick out another one and taste a little drink of it.
But no, excuse me.
I don't know which one.
I'll find one.
What are you looking for?
Something to drink.
We're just we're.
Did you hear the music?
Well, I could still drink with music.
We have bourbon downstairs that hasn't been 1792 foolproof.
Yeah, this is going in my mouth before we go downstairs.
Oh, wow.
Wow.
That was a little graphic.
That's the end of part one.
I would like just a pub of that, please.
Yep.
I'll have a little bit too.
All right.
Well, thanks for listening for the first part of the podcast.
