challenge took one last week to get at work I think so I asked for you you guys
I mean what's your feedback on it? We'll pay attention today. I'll tell you what at the break we'll
confer because it wears off in the ten minutes. We'll compare notes. It's kind of like
Viagra for the brain. We're judged the effectiveness of your brain tonight.
Sean has a brain boner is what it is. Did you say that on the bottle? It does.
This will give you a brain boner. How did you guys get to that? Before this podcast started you guys were talking about
World of Warcraft. I know how quickly everything changes. You're talking about brain boners. Yes.
It's it's alpha brain brain boners. Alpha brain brain boners. I stopped paying attention for a few minutes.
Alright. And this is where it goes. Alright so it's Tuesday after Labor Day. It is. God bless it.
It's September. It is September. And it's still freaking 100 degrees out. I know.
Alright. Welcome to another. No it's not. I think you're just perpetually hot. No no not right now.
Right the second. I'm just like it's very hot outside. Yeah it's 100 degrees. That's one thing I enjoyed about living up north is
the change of seasons and you can get into September in Cincinnati and it gets nice and cool.
It could still be a little warm but. We have that too but it's very short. Well isn't it.
In like December. Very short. Yeah very short fall. My goal in my mind is that on Halloween.
Halloween I'm almost hoping that's cold enough to wear long sleeves. And you don't want to cornstarch the nuts right.
Oh man we've had we've had Halloween. Oh yeah. That's our roasting. Yeah that's crazy.
Yeah it is crazy. When the kids are in their get ups and the mask and that you spent you know 50 bucks on.
It's too hot. It's too hot to wear any of these expensive stuff. Yeah. They're a sweaty mess when they come home.
Yeah now we've had plenty of those but we've had some cold ones too. I don't know how long it's been since we've had a cold one.
But I remember some cold ones. I remember being. I don't remember. Like being underdressed and being like damn.
Which was rare. Yeah well I'll tell you when the kids. Halloween was a lot of fun. I mean Halloween's next month.
Yeah we're kind of diving into this kind of soon but I enjoyed Halloween when the kids were younger and I could take them around the block.
Pull a wagon with me. Yeah. You learn. You learn. I mean I've got four kids so after a while it's kind of like when you're when you're walking four kids around the block.
And the next year you're like I'm bringing a wagon and I brought a wagon and then as next year I'm like I'm bringing a cooler beer.
And then as a wagon that became the wagon the kids all sat on the cooler. No well you just put it in the back of the wagon.
You know sometimes kids get tired. They want to hop in the wagon or frankly they basically they fill up their bags of candy and then they dump it in the wagon.
So it's like this vessel of candy. Yeah. Like a trough. And I become the guy that's walking around the HOA guy because you know unfortunately I was the president forever.
So I knew everybody and I got passing out passing out beers to our neighbors. Nice. Yeah I pretty much I had a drink every time we went trick or treating.
So I don't think I don't think we did that walking around. But what was the weirdest not gift but what do you what do you call it.
Not candy but the weirdest thing you got a trick or treat. So what's the weirdest treat kind of treat that your kids got.
I mean other than the apples and peaches with razor blades in them. Nice. That was the big scare all the time.
I never got razor blade. I always felt like I never cheated. We always threw the apple away. We never ate it.
I mean it was not really a thing or is that just like an urban myth. I don't know. But that was that way when I was a kid.
Yeah. That was always the big scare. Oh don't do it. Don't do it. I know the weirdest one that what is that.
The weirdest one my son got Brandon was a baked potato. Really. I was on your street as a matter of fact.
We went up. We went up and he was like trick or treat. And there is a potato. Yeah.
Baked potato wins. They were at the eating dinner and they're like they come rushing. They're like oh we're out of we're out of candy.
So they rushed out grab a potato and foil and threw it in his bag. Oh my God. Here you go.
And a little bit of a of a pork chop. Well your son didn't care. All he felt was like the weight.
He was like oh I just hit the lottery. Oh for sure. Came back and said well that he pulled it out.
He goes a potato. He was nine ten or whatever. My favorite is when you know the people that are not used to the whole Halloween thing when they you know like they're immigrants or they you know they're on H1B visa or whatever.
Because they're giving out the full size candy bars. Oh yeah. The king size Snickers. I'm like yeah. I guess just kind of circle around.
I was like bro if you don't have like boxes and boxes and boxes of that you don't know what you're doing here because you don't get out for size.
Anyway it's funny. They always had the weirdest stuff that they were given out. Halloween has morphed into well over the years we used to have large Halloween parties where we have karaoke and just off the charts parties now.
Oh yeah. You went all out. Now it's a I'm kind of over that. Now I just like Halloween night. I mean Jeff has come over for the last couple of years.
Belting out some. We put a very large put a very large speaker in the front. We put out some lights. You know I got some discotheque lights on there.
We'll play like the soundtrack from Stranger Things and just some kind of cool thing. Spooky music. And then when you get a bunch of kids out there I play some popular songs just the generic popular songs that everyone likes.
And so they're like having fun go be bopping up and down the street. Yeah the whole point it's a party. You know an evil party. Yeah. Evil.
Yeah well and you know and I get like my front entrance to my house I've got these rock walls that are about two foot tall.
And then you come up some stairs and then there's another one. But on that frontier I usually just place like you know six baskets of candy down there. Right. And the people come by.
I've got this little orange rope light. I kind of run along the inside and weave them in and out of the candy dishes and like self serve. Yeah.
Just self serve. Kids come by and Jeff and I are up there like Barney and Fred. Like the two old guys in the balcony. From the Muppets. Right.
And we're just that man. We're just playing some crazy ass music. I remember one time it was we played Evergreen by Barbra Streisand.
She's belting that out down the street. That's Carpenter's. But whatever. It was good. It was fun. That is fun.
And until you know Jeff's wife's friend Andrea lives up the street. She was like text Jeff's wife to text Jeff to tell him to turn it off.
Did you really. Yes. It's like five. It's about six houses away. It was loud. It was loud. Yeah.
We had a commercial speaker out there. It was just thumping. And how late was it. I was 10.
You know we have a subwoofer out there too though. Nice. I don't think I'm gonna do that anymore. I think it's a lot of work.
Yeah. Well you got to go up to filter to get it. Austin's the producers looking at me like oh really.
Yeah I brought all that stuff up to filter so I don't have to mess that anymore.
Anyways it's a Tuesday night. It's after the Labor Day. We all had a great time. We went over to Paul's house and drank a 13 year old bottle of Dickel.
It's a very nice bottle. The entire bottle. We drank the whole God bless and thing. I think it was good. I think I had one shot of that.
That's all I had. One shot. There were four of us drinking it. Yeah. That is. Yeah. We. Did you share any with the ladies?
I gave a little bit as a taster and they drank them but I tried not to kill them because I tried to save it for us.
It is bottle and bond. So that added to the toxicity level. Yeah. All four of us knocked out an entire. What is it? Not a.
It's a 750 right. 750. Yeah. We knocked it out in about an hour and a half. That's a fifth. Two hours. Hour and a half. Two hours. We knocked that out.
It was good too. Well, yeah. My night was going fine and I went sideways as soon as that bottle came out.
Oh, no, we were destroying them in pool. What do you mean? We did. We did. Oh, come on. Killing them. They were crying and angry at each other and yelling.
And I enjoy losing against my father in law was throwing stuff and we're starting today's dudes like us. I'm Sean. I'm Jeff. I'm Paul.
And we've got high west whiskey as our bourbon or our whiskey of choice tonight. It's a double right. Yeah. And very different.
It's a double right. So double right there. They're saying that they use two types of right and two very different types.
And they're saying that one is it's like high in cinnamon. Then it was high in smoke and close clothes and nutmeg and it's incredibly smoky.
I'll tell you, it's scotch like. Yeah, it's a cross breed of almost like it tastes like it's been smoked like Pete smoke.
Yeah. You know, like the barrel has been used with with Pete and it's got that taste. But man, the nose of it. It's OK.
I mean, it takes some getting used to. My first thing was it was exactly what Paul said. That's weird.
Because that's exactly what it was. It was very weird. Yeah, it's quite a bit different than some things we've had in the past.
For sure. It's not my favorite. No, it's unique. It's unique.
And this little Glencairn is about the extent of what I could drink in one sitting.
Yeah, I don't think I can do it again. Yeah, I am really looking forward to our second half of bourbon of choice.
And I'll let Jeff talk about that a little bit later. But we'll feel this is great.
Kind of the aftertaste feels like I've been chewing on a piece of burnt wood.
Burnt leather. Who's burnt wood? Burnt wood.
All right. So high whiskey, the double rye. We get asked all the time, speaking from the high west distillery here,
we get asked all the time why double and why? Because the whiskey is created from two types of rye, both a minimum of two years old.
The exclamation point is to signify that we are focusing on the beauty of the rye and create the spiciest rye in the world.
We think we did that. The younger rye source by high west is produced on a column still.
I don't know what a column still is. Is it the big metal thing with a bunch of tubes coming out of it?
Yeah, it's big. Well, it's like a big cylinder, right? It's a big pot, like a pot still.
These are this is a column where. So these are the column still and high levels of cinnamon, clove, anise, eucalyptus buttons.
I don't know what anise is, nor eucalyptus buttons.
Eucalyptus is not what they put on your skin. Eucalyptus? What is eucalyptus?
That's yeah, it's a. I thought it was a. It's an herb or something like that, right?
Eucalyptus. Mainly for. It's like Vicks. Aroma. Oh, no, it is like Vicks. There we go.
Yeah, it's like a Vicks type of eucalyptus smell. Yeah, but it's eucalyptus buttons.
I've never. I don't know what buttons are. Well, buttons are what's on your shirt.
Thank you, Jeff. What buttons were? And they keep your skin from becoming exposed, don't they?
All right. So the cinnamon, clove, anise, eucalyptus buttons and evergreen gin like flavors.
The older rye, as distilled also by high west, made.
Why are we looking at buttons? Eucalyptus buttons.
Well, there they are. Eucalyptus buttons. They're pods. Who knew?
There you go. They come. I guess those are the cloves.
No, that's eucalyptus. Or a form of eucalyptus.
Eucalyptus seed pods. Christmas decorations.
All right. Well, so let's get real. I will never drink this rye again.
All right. We will, because we'll forget.
And we're like, oh, let's try that again. Maybe two months down the road.
I mean, I'm glad we did it. And actually, I am enjoying it.
It's not horrible. But it's just like, you know, because I tell you,
it's not like some of these horrible bourbons that we've had.
It's not something that's like these horrible whiskies we had.
This is extremely unique.
It's a double rye.
And they went out of their way to make something extremely unique.
And they did it. Hats off to them.
And it's extremely hot.
It's over, what is it, 110, 115? 100. It's a hunter proof.
Well, it's 50.4. 50.4.
So it's a hunter proof.
Damn, Paul just threw that whole thing back.
I was like, let's not waste time. Let's get rid of it.
Well, so I drowned it. Oh, it's not that bad. Wow.
No, I mean, I didn't do it because it was awful.
I did it because.
So the first step is acknowledging the fact that you have a problem.
Oh, I have a problem.
Now I have a bigger problem.
You're going to start pooping.
My stomach's going, well, it is.
It's a very unique whiskey.
Oh, so High West is Utah's first legal distillery
since 1870, the world's only ski and gastro distillery.
If you find ski in.
So it's like you're skiing.
I need a shot.
Hey, guys, let's just get this old St.
Bernard and they just fill them up with high west double rye. Right.
Well, yeah, but it brings that out and pours it in your mouth.
Taste that.
Hold on. Is that is that what was in the canister of St.
Bernard? Well, it's high west. Yeah.
I was. No, no, no. For real. What is the story?
What's in the barrel?
The St. Bernard would have the barrel.
It would be whiskey. Yeah.
Was it whiskey? I don't know.
Well, the cartoons always seem to be OK.
I was going to ask you that.
Or say a cartoon. Yeah. OK.
It's like Cliff, right?
I was a Beethoven.
Not the big red dog.
No. So it's St.
Bernard Snow Rescue.
Yeah. St. Bernard and the barrel around its neck.
What was that? I want to say, I don't know.
I wasn't sure if it was a cartoon or a TV show.
Yeah. See the barrels. Yeah.
OK, but it's not OK.
So it's not a cartoon.
It's a it's a TV show. It's schnapps.
Like a peppermint schnapps.
Yeah, I'm thinking like a peppermint or an apple or a peach.
It does look like they're over there.
Hold on. Is it a movie? Is it a TV show?
What is this? That's the Matterhorn.
I don't know what these are.
I mean, they all have this little barrel underneath their neck,
but I don't know what exactly.
What the. It's to catch the drool.
OK, so it's not.
So St. Bernard's are often portrayed, especially in old live action
comedy such as the Swiss Miss TV, blah, blah, blah,
wearing a small barrels of brandy brandy around their necks.
There you go.
OK, but this is not a TV show or whatever.
This is a Swiss Alps tradition thing.
Well, that's where I was exposed to it as a kid watching the Looney Tunes.
And you have the St. Bernard with the barrel and then they'd find some
one and they would like, wow, drink it.
And then so legend tells that St. Bernard's
nice kitty cartoon carried barrels of whiskey around their necks
to aid stranded travelers in order to help travelers in Augustine Monk
named St. Bernard.
They met on founded a hospice and a monastery around the year 1050.
OK. Well, there you go.
That is some interesting stuff.
What a wonderful legacy.
He started a St. Bernard's carrying scotch.
They're just basically a Bernard or a bartender.
Yeah, it kind of sounds like you could put whatever you want in there.
Old monk.
You put whatever.
Yeah.
That's funny.
OK.
Plus, they got a lot of fur to keep, you know, nice and warm.
How do we get on St. Bernard?
They're kind of like Star Wars, slice open the top of the barrel.
They can just literally tauntaun and jump inside.
Oh, yeah.
I don't think it's slice open the St. Bernard, but you can like they're big.
They're big dogs.
They are big furry.
It would keep you warm.
I think.
All right.
Well, anyway, this this high west whiskey is an example of what you would find in a
St. Bernard's barrel, I guess.
There you go.
Something that's to you.
I mean, how often are you ever going to encounter a St. Bernard on a ski trip?
Well, you have to take a ski trip first.
Yeah.
You have to take a trip to St. Bernard's and you probably should just switch the one.
He's here to rescue me.
That's really bad.
I mean, it's really fucked up.
You got one of the free drink.
You go skiing with a Glen Carons and just and just hope that out.
Yeah, he's here.
Hey, guys, he's here.
This shit does work.
All right.
OK.
Yeah, that was gay.
All right.
Well, thank you for picking this out, Sean.
This was a great double ride.
All right.
So Labor Day, we had an interesting Labor Day.
We did.
Labor Day was actually yesterday.
I guess Sunday we were over at Paul's house.
Yes.
And we had some authentic Cuban food.
We did.
Yeah.
It was actually very, very good.
The chicken was really good.
Had something I've never had.
I've had the soup version of this where they didn't have whole pieces, but we had an oxtail.
You know what's really weird about the oxtail?
It was gelatinous.
Is that it was an oxtail.
What do you think it was going to be?
Well, in the past, I've had oxtail before, but it was in the form of a soup.
So they would like pull the meat off.
Yeah, by the time I get the meat in my mouth, it's kind of fibrous.
Right.
You didn't actually pull it out of the tail bone.
Yeah.
We got slices of the oxtail and had to pull it out of the vertebrae.
What was weird is there's a bone in the tail.
Yeah.
I thought it was like a big hunk of cartilage maybe, unless it was very hard cartilage, but it was like bones.
It was almost like vertebrae.
Yeah, it was like a spine. You're exactly right.
Yeah.
So which is the tail just an extension of the vertebrae?
I guess so.
That would make sense.
And to me, it tasted like roast.
Yeah, it was like a pot roast.
Yeah, you just kind of pick at it and dig out little chunks of meat here and there.
It didn't yield very much.
Yeah, I learned pretty quick a fork and knife will not work with that.
You just pick it up and suck on it.
Yeah, I didn't do that.
You're talking about the oxtail.
I probably should have.
Yes, the meat.
We're still talking about oxtails.
Yeah, there's some good collagen gelatinous stuff kind of.
Yeah, there it is right there. I mean, that's exactly. There was a...
It was braised. I guess it looked like... Yeah, those look like exactly like...
Kind of like fucking gross.
I mean, honestly, it tasted great, but it looked gross.
It did.
I mean, because you look at the... You're totally looking at the core of the tail, and you know what it is.
And you're like, dude, that is right above that ox's asshole.
Oh, stop.
Well, you don't want the biggest piece then.
You don't want the biggest piece.
Yeah, what's the smallest piece?
Yeah, farthest away.
Farthest away from the a-hole. Scroll back up for me.
All right, so it says oxtails. Right, click on the picture. There we go.
All right, so why...
So, oxtails are rich, highly flavorful cross cuts of beef or veal tails.
Deep rich flavor, tender, sticky textures, stew or braise, and low moist heat, toughness, and gelatin melt.
Yeah, so where is it...
Gotta love that.
From where then?
It's from the tail.
Well, is it?
And it's probably like the spinal cord juice.
See how it says, flavorful cuts of beef and... They don't say the tail.
There is no cut of beef. I mean, it's basically you're sucking out meat from in between the spine flaps.
It's like it's trying to suck crab meat out of a claw of a crab, you know? It's like, it's very tedious.
So it's beef, though.
But it tastes good.
It's not ox. It's beef. Right?
Okay.
Those are the same animal.
The beef comes from...
The ox is not the same thing as the cow. They're different species.
Well, what is an ox?
Yeah, an ox is a farm animal.
Thank you, Paul.
But, I mean...
So, there you go. It's a bovine that's been trained as a draft animal. So, a cow.
Well, what's a draft animal?
Really? I didn't know that. I thought an ox was like its own kind of water buffalo type of thing.
Well, cows are females.
Like a yak.
Oxes are males.
I thought an ox was like a yak.
Ox are males, so it's like a bull.
Well, they're males that have been castrated.
So it's like a bull.
Like a bull.
But not a bull. So it's like a...
A domestic yak.
Like a monk.
See, that's what it is. That's what we ate. A yak.
No, that is not what we ate.
I'm sure someone eats a yak tail.
Yeah, it was good. I enjoyed it. It was interesting.
Yeah, I had a couple of them. I mean, you probably ate the whole thing and not before.
Got to meet some Cuban folk.
Yeah, they were cool. That dude was hilarious.
The guy we played pool with and played... He didn't speak a lick of English.
But we figured it out.
Like, you know, we were having conversations.
Yeah, it was fun.
It was fun.
Well, he understood to come over here and take a shot.
Oh, yeah, he understood that.
Oh, yeah, that's hard.
Yeah.
Yeah, lift the shot up and go...
The shot up and go, yeah, here, this is for you.
Oh, he drank the shit out of it.
Of course we all did.
He... When he first took his first shot, I saw the look on his face,
and so I like poured water in his shot glass right away.
It was like...
And then I was like, that's good.
And we all chased it with water, though.
Yeah, because we had to. It was like...
It was good. It was so good.
Well, it was pretty hot. It was pretty...
Yeah, well, so the oxtail, it was good. It was an adventure.
I'd eat it again, you know, if someone was there.
But would I order on a menu? No.
No.
If someone made it for me, I'd eat it again.
Oh, yeah, of course.
But I would never make it myself.
But we also had, like I said, chicken, which was, I guess, Cuban-spiced chicken.
Yeah, it was chicken thighs.
Chicken thighs. I think some legs were in there, maybe. I don't know.
But that was very tasty.
And then she made some type of beans, which was pretty good, and then fried plantains.
I never even had the plantains.
I had several. They were nice.
I had a couple. Yeah, I had two or three.
She went all out that day, man. She cooked all day long.
It was good.
It was tasty.
I was expecting, like, a regular old Cuban sandwich.
Yeah. What's a Cuban sandwich?
A cubano.
I think it's a...is it a ciabatta or what? Some kind of bread.
Ciabatta.
With ham, a pickle, I think Swiss cheese, maybe.
Cheese, and it's melted.
Yeah.
And it's panini'd, or whatever you call it.
It's really good. I like it.
It's so good. I love Cuban sandwiches. It's the cubano.
That's basically anything you put in the little panini press, right?
No, no, no. It's got to be the pickle and the meat and the cheese.
There's a particular ingredient.
I'll tell you what. What's going on in Cuba right now is just crazy.
I haven't seen much.
I haven't watched any news in the last day or two.
I haven't seen any headlines.
I mean, they initially had some protests that were put down pretty hard, pretty fast.
But that was it.
Is that pretty much...has that been quieted?
I haven't heard a thing.
And then you may not...it may be mass chaos down there, and you're not going to hear a thing.
All of that footage that came out of that was probably like a pirated signal that got out somehow.
Right.
Yeah, because they shut down stuff like right away.
I mean, I don't think ABC, CBS, NBC were down there filming this.
It was probably somebody, and they got it out somehow.
Yeah.
Well, they have satellite phones.
They may have satellite phones.
That's what I mean. They may have knocked...locked all that down down there.
Yeah, maybe.
Can you lock down a region with a satellite phone, though?
Can you block it?
I don't know.
Are there signal blockers?
You'd be amazed how...
Military?
How they can shut down everything.
The military? Could they block all that stuff? I don't know, but...
So what's the latest and greatest with Biden's...I mean, outside of the fuck up in Afghanistan?
I mean, I haven't heard anything else.
Well, I think he's trying to...
Oh, they're trying to bury it.
They're probably trying to, yeah, exactly bury it.
And again, I haven't watched much news, but has he made any kind of speeches beyond that or appearances?
Well, for Labor Day, he did something with some union leader. I don't know.
There was some video that leaked. Something with him rehearsing something.
Oh, no. Then he visited Louisiana.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, he visited Louisiana, the damage there, which was catastrophic.
So they...so ironically, you know what got more coverage than the Gulf Coast getting decimated...decimated?
...was all the rain that got dropped on New York.
And Philadelphia.
And Philadelphia and...
Because that impacts the elites.
Well, I mean, and it was record rainfall, right? So it was crazy flooding, but it totally got more coverage than the...
Because that impacts the people that make the news.
I guess.
The news people. They're like all this...
Did you see the footage of the people in their basement?
Yes, and the wall like caves in.
The wall like caves in, yeah.
Traps them down there.
Unbelievable.
I saw a short little 10-second clip of it, maybe 15 seconds. I mean, did the water...
The wall collapses in.
The wall completely pushes in and it's just...8 feet of water in seconds.
Yeah, and then my desk are floating around and...
Yeah.
I mean, it was crazy.
So where was the family? I didn't see any people in that.
Well, someone walked through.
Someone walked across.
And then it burst and you hear them screaming.
Oh, I didn't see that.
Yeah.
So it's...
And they were okay? Like they...
I don't know. I haven't seen a follow-up or anything.
Oh, man.
So I don't know. Well, the video got out somehow.
Yeah, well, yeah, hopefully they're fine.
That was a home video.
That's what I mean. It looks like a security camera or something like that.
Yeah, it was on cloud, I think.
Yeah.
Still, someone had to say, you need to go see this video.
Right.
That was really scary.
And I haven't seen much as far as destruction.
Again, I've been so busy with work, I haven't watched much news.
And when I do get off of work, I don't want to watch news.
Right.
Right? I want to watch something stupid and not have to think.
Isn't that crazy? We're so disgusted with what's going on.
It's just... It's defeated. I'm defeated.
I'm defeated on everything.
It's easy to get discouraged.
I'm defeated on the vaccine.
It's like one bad thing after another, yeah.
I just found out that my son has to take the vaccine shot.
For what? For the firefighter school?
Yeah.
They're mandating it.
Steven had to take it.
Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
I'm sorry to hear that.
It's just wrong.
I think that if you want to take the shot, take the shot.
And I think that if you don't want to take it, then don't take it. That's on you.
It seems to be unprecedented. Maybe just the country is in a different place about the stances they take on everything.
I don't know. COVID has definitely been unprecedented.
But we had the election, the division of the election.
Then we had the division of COVID, meaning the mass, and now the vaccines.
And now we've got this division of...
You know, gun control has always been divisive.
But then we have this abortion thing.
Texas just passed.
And then the Supreme Court held it up.
The Texas Supreme Court?
No, the federal Supreme Court.
Yes, held it up.
So now other states are like, okay, we're going to go do the same thing.
Other conservative states are going to start working on their own bills.
When did that happen with the Supreme Court?
Just last week, the week before.
Really?
Yeah. Big deal.
I mean, it's just another thing for us to divide ourselves.
And just keep fighting and fighting and fighting.
I've always thought that that should be a state-by-state decision.
Yeah.
That's not a federal thing. It should be a state mandate or law or whatever.
But anyway...
That's a really tough topic.
It is.
I mean, it's easy for me, but it's easy for me to say that, right?
One of the other new rules or laws went into effect is we can now buy alcohol at 10 a.m. on Sunday.
Oh, the blue law changed?
Yeah. Now it's 10 a.m. instead of noon.
Well, hold on. That's on Saturday.
No, it's on Sunday.
Oh, okay. But you still can't buy liquor.
That's by county. No, you're correct.
So the liquor stores are closed on Sundays.
But like when you go to Kroger or Tom Tom or wherever, and it's like at 11, you're like, I need a pack of beer for the week.
That never made sense anyways.
I mean, there's an old law. It's old.
Well, here's the thing. Now it's going to be nine o'clock that I'm there at the store going, oh, why can't I buy beer?
You're probably right.
I'm sorry, we can't sell this until 10.
Damn it.
It should get to the point where it doesn't matter. You should buy it 24 hours a day.
I totally agree. It's so stupid.
That's an old...
There are some folks that don't get off work.
It's a Southern Baptist thing.
Yeah, it's old, old Texas law. They'll get these old blue laws that they have.
Yeah.
You know, the thing that bugs me about the abortion versus the virus is that, you know, on one hand, they don't want you to control your body.
And on the other hand, they want you to control your body.
You know, so it's like I have a choice, but I don't have a choice.
Yep.
So it's just like, well, that doesn't make sense at all.
I know it. The same people fighting for abortion rights are saying, wear your mask.
Well, because it affects other people.
Right. But they're...
They're missing the point.
It's so crazy. It's so crazy.
Yeah.
The whole, you know, my body, my choice about the vaccine or about the mask.
It's tasking. I'm emotionally just... I'm just...
Yeah, it's a lot. It's a lot.
I'm ready for it to go on. And I know we talk about... I talk about it. You know, I want Trump to get back in office.
I'm kind of torn. I think he's going to be on the cusp of being too old.
But, you know, he's got a lot of energy.
You know, when Trump gets out there and talk...
And I know, Paul, you had mentioned you're just tired of the divisiveness.
And you bring up the Twitter too.
But I don't think Twitter is going to be an issue because they knocked out his account.
But, you know, I think we need someone back in there like Trump, if not Trump, that's going to talk.
That's going to... He's going to wield the power of the people.
And Biden is not doing that.
No, he isn't.
He's not. He's embarrassing.
You know, anytime he's in a... I mean, Trump never backed down from a press conference where he's at.
People are asking him questions.
And Biden's just like, you know, he doesn't want to talk about Afghanistan. He turns around and fucking runs.
He's not allowed. He's not allowed. He's managed by a group of people.
Because they know he's going to fuck it up, man.
I mean, he's...
I'm not allowed to talk about that.
Yeah, he's highly managed.
He has a cheat sheet in his pocket every single time.
Well, if you're walking into something, you can do that, right?
Like if you need to say, spout out stats that you may not be able to... whatever.
But if you're going to a city and you should have the mayor's name...
Yeah, you have the mayor and the governor's names on a cheat sheet.
Yeah, that you should know.
But if you need to rattle off some stats...
With their faces.
I didn't see that. With the faces.
With the faces, just like the reporter one, when they said what order he's supposed to call the reporters in, they had their faces and names.
Yeah, and then you weren't supposed to ask that question. The question you were supposed to ask is this.
Yeah, he's like...
The question was supposed to be...
Yeah, and he's like looking off screen like, why is they asking... what's happening? Why are they...
Number 17 says that you're supposed to ask this. What's happening? Unbelievable.
Yeah, he is... I don't know, do you think he's going to make his term? We've asked this, I think, every time we're on.
Do we think he's going to last the four years?
I don't know how he can. This is crazy.
But you've got to keep him in there.
Why?
Because you've got Campbell Toe Harris that's going to take over.
Is she worse?
And that's the last thing you want.
I don't know. I don't know what to do.
Is she worse than what you have now?
She could be more dangerous. I don't know.
Well, I heard Dan Bongino arguing that. She's like, maybe she's equally as bad, that it's a trade-off.
Maybe she's 1% better. That's 1% better than what we have now, because it can't get really any worse.
Well, at least she's of sound mind.
Well, she's just...
She's not competent.
Meaning not senile.
She's ignorant. She doesn't know a lot.
She's not senile. She just doesn't know what she's doing.
Right. And that's different than somebody being senile and not really having your faculties to make critical decisions in a moment.
That's what I mean. Is it really worse?
I'm going to agree with Dan Bongino. I'm going to say it's probably better.
I don't know.
Not much.
Not much, but better.
It's like, I don't want that.
Yeah, but she's got... She's about as far left as you can get.
Yeah, pretty much.
So, I mean, she's going to be running that...
Well, here's the thing. She's got a wonderful laugh.
A wonderful laugh.
She doesn't.
She's so jovial. You know what I mean?
Whenever she gets a question.
She might not bring a lot of uplifting to the country, you know, with that...
No.
What's happening in Afghanistan? Why are you not on the southern border?
I think the Dems know. I think their goal was to get him out and to put her in, but she has tanked so hard...
That they can't do it now.
It messed up their Amendment 25 plan.
Correct. I think if she got in there, she would destroy any chances of Democrats getting in.
For me, that goes to show that this whole thing was premeditated.
You know, I mean, the whole fact that... The whole time we're thinking, oh man, they're trying to push Trump out.
No, no, no, no, no. The whole time they were anticipating Biden's issues.
I knew it wasn't for Trump. I knew it was for Biden.
I don't know if I remember saying it, but you can go back and look it up.
Pelosi was looking at Amendment 25 for Biden, not for Trump.
Yeah, but Pelosi is claiming to... She's retiring. Isn't that what the word buzz is?
If she loses. She will not be part of the minority party anymore.
Good for her. Country first, right? Country first.
Yeah. Her pride couldn't handle it.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out. I am going to rejoice.
I was super happy when Harry Reid retired. Yes. Super happy.
Yeah, with both of them, with Harry Reid in the Senate and... Awful.
What's your face, Pelosi? It was like a double whammy. Chuck Schumer.
Yeah, Schumer's worse. Schumer and... A douchebag pencil neck.
Did you see the... Adam Sheath. I haven't seen much from him recently.
No, me neither. Did you see the video of Schumer dancing with the idiot from the late night?
What's his name? Stephen Colbert? Painful.
No. This was right after the Afghanistan thing, right? Yes.
So Schumer dancing with Colbert? Yes.
And when you're watching this, you tell me what persuasion you think Stephen Colbert is.
Oh, I know. What persuasion would you say is Colbert?
Get a good look at him. He's on the right.
Polkish, Czechoslovakian. No.
What persuasion would you say is Colbert right there?
I think he's a Wiener. Bavarian? What are you getting at?
Persuasion. Like, what kind of people does he prefer?
Male or female? Is that what you're getting at? Right. Yes.
Oh, get in the board. Yes. Sexual persuasion, you mean?
You mean... Yes. I try not to think about that.
And look at Schumer. I mean, God, he looks like my dad out there.
Yeah, well, that's it, you know. He's our...
So bad. Doing the arm pump.
And they're... So bad.
Yeah. Yeah. And this was... And Colbert doesn't even have a mask on.
Well, it doesn't apply to them. I don't think Colbert... So Colbert's gay?
He's got to be. The way he's dancing, he's got to be.
Look at that right there. Look at that.
I mean, it's... He took some dance lessons. He's turning the head quarter turn.
What do you call that? A pillowette or a puruette?
Puruette. Or you twist and you don't turn your head.
He's killing it. Yeah. Something right out of the Birdcage movie with Robin Williams.
Yes, that's a great movie, by the way. I love that movie.
Anyway, moving on from this horrible video that we've seen now four times in a row.
I don't want to watch it anymore. But right there.
Oh, yeah. Kind of like tilts that head back and flexes.
It's kind of like the end of a whip. It's like...
Okay. Now I'm nauseous.
You know, and I couldn't tell you the last time I watched Late Night.
I used to watch Leno. I used to watch Letterman.
I'd watch Carson a little bit, but not really.
But I haven't watched any Late Night since...
Letterman? I watched David Letterman in college.
After that, I didn't watch anything. I watched Letterman in high school
and then probably through college, and I watched some Leno every now and then.
But this new crop are terrible. Yeah, they're terrible.
Terrible. Although the one I think is funny is the guy that was on SNL
who could never keep a straight face. Jimmy Fallon?
Yeah, Fallon's funny. He's got some funny skits.
But I just wish he didn't get sucked into the whole political thing.
I don't like the rest of them. He just forgot who his audience is.
And Jimmy Kimmel is a total piece of poop.
I don't like him. But Jimmy Kimmel used to be on The Man Show.
Remember that? Oh, yeah. He totally got a pass on that.
Yeah. Yeah, the things that he would say to the young girls out there.
Hey, stick your hand in my pocket and tell me what you think is in there.
That doesn't come up anymore. Yeah.
And I think he also... I'm sure they scrubbed all that.
Well, I think also didn't he dress up as like Charles Barkley or something?
Yeah. He had black men. Oh, black face? Yes, he did.
Oh, nice. Oh, yeah. And he got a pass for that, too.
He got a pass for that. They got called out. They're like, oh, that was different.
That was... Well, I'm sure he was like, from the bottom of my heart, I'm so sorry.
Yeah, there he is right there. Give me a break.
Karl Malone, is that who it's supposed to be? Oh, my God.
Yeah, but I don't even care. I don't either. That's just the whole thing.
I don't care. It's so offensive. Is it offensive? I don't care.
I don't think it's offensive. I don't give a shit. It's stupid.
Well, it's just like the movie they made, White Chicks. Right.
It's just as offensive. Yeah. Just as offensive.
But again, I don't care. But people get upset with that shit.
And if you get upset one way, there they are right there, White Chicks.
I think it's the Wayan Brothers. So there was a movie, a military war movie
where you had the guy from Iron Man play the character of a black guy.
He was a sergeant. Tropic Thunder. Yeah. That was so great.
That was great. Yeah, that was fun. Tropic Thunder.
He's like, you people wouldn't understand. What do you mean you people?
Robert Downey Jr. There you go. That movie is hilarious.
I'm going to have to watch that again. Nobody ever mentioned something about that.
It's great. You know who else was actually really good in that was Tom Cruise.
Yes. Oh, he's a freak. Yeah. He was a big fat ass agent.
Oh, is that like where I will destroy you? Yeah, he was actually pretty good at that as well.
I want to watch that again. That was a good movie. What do you mean you people loved it?
That movie is great. You got to watch it if you haven't seen it in a while.
I'm trying to see. I think I have a clip of that.
Look at his eyes. So funny.
It's like he has a wide open. What?
Always offended. Wait for something, you know.
And then, oh, then he's talking about the full TARD. Don't ever go full TARD.
Remember that? Yes. Oh, you crossed the line.
Never go full TARD. Did you see the video?
Did you see the video? Speaking of that, did you see the video of the
Irish soldier? No politician. I thought he was somebody
basically was a news program talking about Biden, some other country, I think.
Right. Yeah. It's very and he's like, I think he's retarded.
Yeah. No, he said he is a retard. Oh, like flat out called him a retard.
And I was thinking for sure he was going to say like my money was on another word that I don't want to say
because it's really offensive. But they say it like it's drinking water. Right. The C word.
Right. And I was for sure I thought he was going to say that he's like retard.
I was like, what? It was great. It was it's.
And it was all in the in the context of Afghanistan. Yeah.
So yeah, he screwed the pooch on that one. He did. Did he ever?
Golly. And you hear you hear about how he they rescued four Americans,
these private. They're like private, you know, I don't call them mercenaries, but their ex
military guys. They went and rescued four Americans and then the State Department
sent out a tweet, take it, trying to take credit for it. And they totally called him on it.
And they were like lies. They trying to take credit for our mission.
Totally trying to credit for it. Really? Yeah, they suck, man.
Everything about the Biden administration sucks. All right. What do you got?
You going to play a video for us? I had a clip of this. I don't think it's going to work.
I don't know what kind of pan Pacific bullshit power play you're trying to pull here, but Asia
Jack is my territory. So whatever you think, you better think again, otherwise I'm going to have to head down
there and I will rain down on a godly fucking firestorm upon you.
You have to call the fucking United Nations and get a fucking binding resolution to keep me from fucking destroying you.
I am talking scorched earth, motherfucker. I will massacre you.
I will fuck you up. That's Tom Cruise.
Yes. It's great.
I think he nailed it. I think that's one of his best performances.
Well, if you didn't know it was him, you wouldn't know it was him. It took a while to figure that out.
I was like, that is Tom. I knew it was Tom Cruise's voice. Right. But when you first looked at him, he's bald and fat.
He's played a couple of roles like that. We kind of like, is that Tom Cruise? It's great. Yeah.
It's a great movie. If you haven't seen it, that's one I strongly recommend.
It's funny. It's a Tropic Thunder. Yeah.
Blackface. Totally acceptable.
It's all good. Well, you know, these guys can get away with it.
Unless you're a Republican, then you can't. But I don't want to get on that again, man.
Yeah, talk about fun stuff tonight.
Well, you had a list here. We were talking about some some digital stuff.
Oh, yeah. I was I don't know. Read the newspaper. I don't know too much about it.
But these this new phenomenon of the last two, three, four years, however long it's been going on, are these NFTs, which stands for non fungible token.
Like anybody in the last two or three generations is going to understand any of this.
It's not explainable. You know who explained it surprisingly well?
Paris Hilton. Really? Paris Hilton.
What described the non fundable fungible fungible like a like a fungus.
Yeah. Paris Hilton, non fungible. She explains it.
Non fungible. She does. She explains it in depth in in an interview with.
Really? Yeah, I thought she was like, you know, some like crazy dits.
There we go. See, there's a video of that one. Oh, yeah. Let's just see that video.
All right. She invested in an NFT platform, original protocol.
There you go. Paris Hilton explaining NFT. All right. I'm looking forward to this.
You are somebody who has been very bullish. What's his name?
That's Jason Gay. Still needs a primer on non fungible tokens.
I sort of understand it. It's creators monetizing their work, but I don't totally get it.
You, on the other hand, have jumped straight into it.
What's the simplest way to explain what's happening right now in this world?
Well, I actually discovered NFTs a very long time ago because I think right now it's really blown up.
I had no idea it accelerated the way it has. My first NFT was in March 2020, which I did for Cheney.
She had a team of advisors saying this is what you need to invest in.
I'm just really sort of diving into it and trying to learn everything there is to learn about it.
And yes, it is confusing in the beginning when you are learning about it.
But I think the easy explanation of it is it's basically anything from art to sports to music,
basically almost any type of art form you can think of, but made in a digital world.
And I love that it really gives power back to the creator because before with artists,
it was all about getting it into an art gallery or even being a music artist.
It was about if the record label really wanted to promote you.
And now it's more about just having this huge platform online where anybody really can rise to the top.
I think it's more than this, what she's talking about.
And also just giving them royalties every time their piece is sold.
That was never possible before in the traditional art world.
But now anytime something is resold, they will get their royalties for it.
And it just really gives power back to the creator.
And I think kids today are so used to having everything digital.
So everything from basketball playing cards to music to art.
So it's just something that they've really become accustomed to since a young age.
And now I just really feel that everything is moving digital.
So why not art?
Well, I think you could stop this.
She's actually pretty well spoken.
She probably went to the best schools.
She can articulate what she's saying.
Those shows with the episode.
Well, she had a show on TV.
I saw her porn.
You saw her porn?
She had a porn?
Yeah, that's how she got her launch, right?
Sex tape got leaked.
Oh, Red Light District, one of the dude.
Oh, she was, you know, whatever.
That's how Kim Kardashian got her idea.
Yeah, I know.
They got their big breaks on filming their own sex tape.
Yeah.
All right, hold on. What are you going to say?
I think there's more to it than that because like she said,
I think the other part is baseball trading cards are starting to go digital now.
Instead of the physical card, they're starting to go digital.
And they said one reason why it's catching on is because the counterfeit business in baseball cards is rampant.
Really?
It's very hard to verify authenticity on a baseball card.
But as a digital baseball card, there's that token, right?
Right.
That blockchain that tells you it came from here to here to here to here to here.
Right.
And it's hard to or impossible to counterfeit.
Right.
So you have this, it seems cheaper to me, right?
Because it's just a picture.
Yeah.
Instead of a physical thing.
So you're carrying around your phone and go, look at this.
Where you just screen capture it and go, look at this.
I've got Ty Cobb.
Right.
So what if I do screen capture?
It doesn't have the digital block.
Well, it doesn't. Right.
And then who cares?
Yeah, I still have it.
Right. That's what I mean.
And then how does anybody who owns that actually make any money?
I don't know.
So but another one is I would say it's more rampant to have piracy and not.
Yeah, that happened.
You just. Yeah.
He just leaned hard, leaned to the right.
The old man fart lean with the left leg slightly raised towards me.
No, no. Yeah.
Yeah. No, ever saw the old man fart lean.
I kind of pulled the left leg in a little bit to tighten the sphincter to allow it to whistle.
Oh, technique right there, folks.
And his technique.
So very nicely executed.
So another one is one that's kind of made the news lately or is this board ape yacht club,
which basically is like like Paris said is artwork of these apes, gorillas or whatever they are.
A million different configurations of cartoon apes, cartoon apes just from the basically the chest up.
So it has the shoulders and the face and they look completely disinterested.
But there's different outfits.
I will share with you my daughter, Madeline.
She specializes in this.
She will draw these pictures just not one of apes, but they're more like fairy tale kind of demons and devils with big boobies and stuff like that.
And K erotica kind of stuff.
The same thing.
Super high definition.
Is she selling them?
She sells them.
That's what she does.
NFTs.
Yeah, that's what she does.
That's cool.
That is super cool.
How much is she making?
I don't know.
But they're a couple thousand a month.
But it's her personal art.
That's hers.
It's hers and she sells them.
I love it.
You know, she's got her.
Not a lot.
What does that mean?
Producer.
You can actually use your microphone.
I think that's very cool.
And I think it's there's a lot of potential there.
And there's these ape things.
They started out.
I think there's a total of three thousand of them.
And I think they started out at five hundred bucks a pop.
So if you got in, you could have bought an ape at five hundred bucks.
And now they're going for twenty five thirty thousand dollars an ape.
And Stephen Curry of the NBA fame just purchased one, I think, for one hundred and twenty thousand dollars himself.
So that I don't I don't get that.
I mean, would you buy that for twenty five thousand dollars?
I won't buy any of them.
I just I know.
But some people.
But I think how some people are seeing this are is an investment instead of buying.
I don't buy this.
You get in on the ground floor and you buy it at five hundred bucks.
And then you hope that in two years someone like Stephen Curry buys one from you for one hundred twenty thousand dollars.
I don't know. I don't subscribe to it.
I think I don't get it.
I mean, if it's something you put on your wall, that's cool.
But I mean, just to have the digital ability to just the rights to it.
Well, what gets me is all right.
I see the one that Stephen Curry bought.
Why can't I just screen capture that and print it and hang it on my wall now?
You can.
I mean, there's nothing stopping you.
That's what I mean. So how do you I don't I don't know what does that one hundred twenty thousand dollars get him?
It's almost like it's for the ultra rich a way to spend their money.
You won't you won't be able to locate the so dudes like us.
We won't be able to use that particular picture in any of our stuff.
Like if we had a video on our podcast, I thought that's what a copyright is.
I mean, well, that's what we wouldn't be able to do that anyway.
But no, but if it's I'm sorry, one hundred eighty thousand dollars.
That just doesn't make sense.
I don't get it. Well, because I honestly I think it's a fun way for the ultra rich to spend their money.
Look, I think it's a great way for some of these artists to make money, you know, because to develop those pictures, it takes a lot of there's a lot of time that goes that goes into that.
Believe it or not. I mean, is it warranted for that much?
So in other words, it's a way for the ultra rich to give back to the starving artists of the world.
I don't think they're thinking that now.
And I don't think that's that's a rare thing for someone to purchase them like that.
I think the reality of it is and I bring up the analogy of my daughter selling them.
You know, she according to the Mr.
Producer over there, my son, he's saying that she doesn't do a lot anymore, but she was saying she's making like a couple thousand dollars a month.
So, wow. You know, I don't know.
And she's constantly drawing pictures on the on the computer.
And these things are fantastic.
Have you ever seen this stuff? She does. No, no.
So she have a website, a deviant art for slash something.
Kitty, what is it?
He doesn't know. I used to know.
I will have to figure that out later. I wouldn't mind.
Well, my point is, is that the majority of them aren't sold for that much.
The majority of them probably sold for, you know, fifty bucks, one hundred bucks, fifty bucks.
And those are what the artists are doing.
So let's just say my name is Sean and we want to do like us fairies or elves, whatever.
And you think our logo needs to be three elves.
You hire you hire someone to do that.
Goblins and it's our picture.
It's our it's our copyright.
And you mentioned up the copyright thing.
So what is the difference between that and the copyright?
So if I have this picture and I own it, does that mean it's copyrighted?
That's what I'm saying. It's I don't know.
I own it. So if you're going to be if you're going to be copy and paste and shit, put it on your face.
That's what she was saying. You get royalties. Yes.
What she's saying. How well that anybody going to police that?
Well, I mean, it'll be a difficult thing, first of all.
But I mean, for like Facebook, for example, they have all kinds of these instruments set up that will detect images and copyrights.
Oh, great. So big tech.
Well, I'm just you know, there's always all we need is more big tech.
And, you know, right now you can you can do a Google search on Google with using images.
So you can you can put your image in there and hit search and it'll search by image as opposed to a character.
So I could download an image of the Mona Lisa to my phone and go, look, I own the Mona Lisa. I own it.
It's the same thing. Well, right.
I mean, you know, just like the card, I own the Mona Lisa.
So and every time I look at it, I have to pay you like ten cents.
Yeah, you owe me. I didn't even mean to.
It just popped up on my search. You just looked at my that'll be a dollar.
That's looking. Stop looking at my penis. Stop looking.
That's another dollar. Son of a bitch. Ten dollars, twenty dollars, fifty dollars.
It's hard for me to understand how it right there.
Scroll up. That's that's Madeline does.
Is that her stuff? Ain't kidding you.
That's it. That's some of her stuff right there.
That's some old shit that she did. But that's basically it.
So this is like, you know, you got to kind of scroll up a little bit so you can see the actual picture.
There you go. That's super cool.
The scroll to the right. See if there's any some she has a very that.
She has some really the stuff she does now is a quantum leap from this.
It's super high res like that, that none of that's hers.
So I don't think it is. Yeah, that is that stuff right there.
How does she do that? She's got these are programs she will.
And the thing about it is that she will zoom in to like a super megapixel going there and she'll click dot dot dot do it by the little pixel.
That's what I was trying to do with our CNC machine.
The software. Were you successful? No, I'm trying to zoom in all the way to the pixel level because I have to be very careful about where I draw my zone.
Did you figure it out? I haven't tried it yet.
Well, that's been delayed. I got busy.
Now we're all busy right now. Man, I'll tell you what I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm fucked up at work, man.
I mean, I'm putting a lot of hours, but I'm still behind them.
That's a little frustrating. Well, we'll get to that in a minute.
We need to finish our NFT talk. Yeah, there's a lot of NFT stuff going on here.
Yeah, the the other one that Mr. Producer, you need to pull off. I think you already did was the Zed run.
There it is. Digital horse race, which is digital horse ownership and racing.
Own race earn the future of digital race horse. Oh, so you get to buy race your way to top and build your legacy today.
So stud fees. Those are stud fees.
Oh, I have no idea how that works, but you could spend.
I saw one on there for one hundred twenty five dollars, four hundred and thirty dollars to breed with this horse.
Hold on. These horses look exactly the same.
They're just different colors and they're all running for hundreds, one hundred and sixty bucks.
OK, here's the bigger idiot. One hundred and thirty eight dollars.
And I don't know that Mike Trout has a horse on there.
So this is the same. I hate to say like this, the same stupid shit that did it like World of Warcraft games.
You know, yeah, you know, you know what? That's a great point.
This is video games that have moved over into people trying to make real money now.
And they are. I'm sorry, Sean, go ahead. Well, it's just in the World of Warcraft.
You can I mean, it's not real money, but it can be real money. Right.
You know. Sold out. How can you be sold out?
What sold out? The last drop is all sold out. Don't worry.
What does that mean? We were dropping horses today. Shoppers Zed Run race horses on OpenSea.
Go to OpenSea. So they made so many.
Also, there's a cap of so many that you're allowed to.
Well, I think there's so many that they've made and they've sold out.
It's like this is like this. This is in Bitcoin. This is like Bitcoin.
So you see stop. So you see point oh four five Bitcoin.
What is that value today? Right.
This is a Bitcoin like twenty thousand dollars now. Right.
But these are like Bitcoin ether.
And then if you buy one of these horses early for a thousandth of a penny and then somebody else wants to like, oh, I want my horse.
I want my horse. And they sell it to you for one hundred and eighty dollars.
Look what return you just got. Right. Lord.
So is this something that we need to dump one hundred bucks in now? Probably too late.
It's probably way too late. Anytime you hear about it, it's way too late. Right.
Actually, that's not true. We didn't hear about it.
No. So I think what it is is you would buy this horse, this whatever this blue horse.
Well, let's do it. It's poor Jack.
So you would buy a poor Jack.
Now it's one hundred fifty two dollars. Oh, the fuck out of it.
So it's a fuck. The ream is point oh four four five.
The theory is pretty, though, which is one hundred and forty five bucks.
It's a really pretty. And what it is is you then you breed them with another one of those other horses to get their traits to try to improve.
So you can win races. I've never played this game.
But is this like what do you call it? Sims? Yeah. Sim Sim horse.
So is it how does Sims work? No, it's simulation, right?
Sim Sim City. Sim City. Yeah.
You never played Sim City as I've never played it.
But I've heard some people talk about it.
Is it like real life stuff? And you got to like if there's a plant, you got to water it or it's going to die.
Stuff like that. Stuff like that. And you know what's really cool about it?
You have to become a city planner in this game. So there you have you have a certain area that you're working with.
And then you have to you're building up your city. Right.
So you start out with a couple of houses, you build some roads, you make sure that there's a police station and a fire station to cover the whole area.
And then you start creating a manufacturing zone and you know, you have to raise taxes.
Yeah, no, I mean, and then repair streets, hire firemen, police, stores, schools.
And then as the property value gets better and better and better because there's great schools and there's great police and firefighters, then the homes start improving.
So then they start to turn into skyscrapers and then you zone them. Right.
And then it's super cool. I mean, and it takes some thought and you let it run, run, run, run, run 10 years of taxes and all this kind of stuff.
And you run a surplus and you put in a lot of cool new stuff.
You know, it's yeah, it's some city. Yeah, I think the graphics have come quite a long way.
Oh, yeah. But the original SimCity was nowhere near that. Awesome.
Yeah, that's what I played it way, way back. I could compare this to like, yeah, it looked like that.
It was great. Command and conquer. It is.
Yeah, no, there's no battles. Right.
I want to build a city. I want you're basically a city manager.
Well, and then what was fun is you natural disasters happen.
You can have an earthquake. You can have a tornado. You can have Godzilla hit your town.
I'm being dead serious. Godzilla walks around your town and tears up the place.
So and you got to react. Well, and yeah, you have to you have to make sure you have enough firefighters in your in your city to be able to put out the fires.
What about a military? No military. There was no military.
What about importing firefighters from out of state? Couldn't do that.
You have to build more fire. Fire station. What does it make sense?
Do they have smoke jumpers? No smoke jumpers. That's ridiculous.
So if you got like, here's what's funny.
There's a Godzilla coming here, which is very unrealistic.
But here's what's funny. You set up your whole thing and then you can let it run like where you don't have to manage it at all.
And so it's just making money, making money.
People are moving in and more houses are being built and skyscrapers are being built.
And it's making money, making money, making money so that when you wake up in the morning, you have tons of money to do stuff.
Right. Well, I turned into the ghetto.
Well, no, I didn't turn off disasters.
I woke up in a tsunami.
It was completely decimated. All on fire.
Everybody had left. Everything burned to the ground.
And you're like, well, yeah, because I forgot to turn off turn off tornadoes in Godzilla.
And it's pretty funny.
So there's a game on the Xbox called Civilizations.
I'm sure it's Jeph.
That's that's a fun game.
You're playing countries versus countries, basically.
Yeah, that'd be fun.
And you're well, there's no attacking in this.
No, I just built a city. You do.
You don't attack and go up and to the left right there.
Left top left. Bam. Click that.
Yeah. So that's basically what it looks like right there.
They have no butts.
What are you talking about?
What their butts are right there.
Red Alert three. Never, never heard of that.
I don't play video games nowadays. I do miss it a little bit.
I know. I know you're a gamer, Sean.
I enjoy it.
I would. But I just I just I don't game.
I actually played Diablo three over the weekend.
Yeah, that's fun.
I cracked that open up again.
Wow. Yeah, I don't I don't even have any games.
It's good. It's fun.
You know, you could you could sit there and stare at the TV in in in in what is it called?
The purge or not a purge.
What is it when you watch something nonstop binge watch you binge watch a season or something?
I binge watched something yesterday.
Clickbait. Oh, we were watching that now.
We just finished it. Yeah.
Great movie. It's great. Great.
Totally unexpected. Yeah, it was better than I thought.
Totally thought it was.
But I'm not going to say.
But don't get away.
Oh, but it was really good.
I was going to be totally the it's worth it.
It's very entertaining.
Even Shelly and I were both like, you know what?
Some craziness going on there, but it was really entertaining.
Yeah. So I recommend that one.
Clickbait. Clickbait.
I got frustrated. I got frustrated like two, three, two, three episodes towards the end.
I was like, damn it, man.
Can we just fast forward to the end so I know what happened?
I got a little frustrated.
Yeah, we just my wife and I just binge watched Falcon and the Snowman or Winter Soldier, not Snowman Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
I don't know what that is.
That's the Marvel comic.
And I was I was Marvel.
I was watching any of that shit.
It was entertaining, but I was I was very disappointed.
It's all the same.
No. Well, it is.
But I was very disappointed in the politics that they.
Yes, I'm saying they get more woke and they're in.
It's ridiculous. Yeah.
Forget it. I'm not watching any of that shit.
There are some funny scenes.
I think. So what kind of woke stuff are they saying?
Are they slamming Republicans?
No, it's we've held the black man down for so long.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I know.
Exhausting.
But it's a lie.
And they're telling the kids of today that that's what's happening.
It's a lie. That is how can you have doctors nowadays?
How can you have a fucking black president of the United fucking States?
If he's being held down, this is bullshit.
Right. Fuck them.
One of one of one of the one of the phrases is is the the Falcon said,
well, things are better now.
And another older gentleman goes, it's the exact same as it's always been.
Oh, shut up. Not those exact words, but that's the message.
It's the exact same. And frankly, the word African.
It doesn't make any sense.
It's because you're not African is wrong.
African does not mean black.
Right. If you're from South Africa.
I mean, there's there are some white people that live in Africa.
And so I'm African, South Africa.
So when you when you put on your application, you know, what are you?
You can officially put those to say black African African American.
What about what about Egyptians? They're in Africa, aren't they?
Brown. Are they considered African American?
No. Why not?
They're Egyptian, but they're in it from Africa.
Yeah. What about Tunisia?
Shouldn't it be? Tunisia's aren't black.
Should it be like Kenyan American?
Moroccans aren't black or Nigerian.
It's it's it's it's odd. It doesn't make sense.
So if you're incorporating the entire continent.
It's checked out. It needs to be the entire continent.
You know, and that's why they moved.
They're moving away from African American to what?
That's a great question. What are they going to?
Because I'm hearing African American less.
I don't know. Is it black? I think it's black.
But there's but there are so many variations of black.
Well, just like there's so many variations of white.
I agree. There's white Hispanic like the guy who shot the kid down there in Miami.
They were calling him a white person. Well, no, actually, he's Hispanic.
Right. Well, he's a white Hispanic.
Oh, white Hispanic. He's a white infused Hispanic.
Yes. I don't understand any of that.
Michael Jackson. What does he know?
He infused himself. I just wish we could stop talking about color.
Period. Well, that's the thing. Stop talking about it.
It's not a matter of color. You are.
I mean, it's a matter of what kind of person you are.
Are you an asshole or not?
I'm going to start spouting out the Martin Luther King.
I believe in a dream. That's racist.
Wow. I mean, he was like, when are we going to get to the point where we're not talking about the color of our skin, but the character of our whatever the content of our content of our character.
Right. I mean, what the hell? He had it figured out.
We've gotten so far away from that. I know we have.
And he was a Republican. And when you bring it up.
Well, I don't know if he was a Republican or not. I do. He probably was.
No, he was Republican. No, he was. I think he was anti.
He was probably anti-politics. He was a registered Republican.
Oh, OK. I don't doubt it.
Anyway, since we're scratching that whole segment, it doesn't really matter.
No, we're not. What? What?
My favorite point is on put your block.
Because you're black.
It's just lethal weapon. Lethal weapon.
What's wrong with you?
Because you're because you're black.
It's something to the effect of you know you can't go.
And he goes, Why can't I go? Well, because you're black.
What part was sheepishly because they're they're like in the ambassador to like South America or South Africa, South Africa.
Yeah, the Kukran and they're all remember he's got diplomatic immunity.
The guy's like a total Joe Pesci's in there is like, yeah, you don't sound like a bad statement.
It's a lethal weapon. I don't know that one.
Hey, fuck you in the drive thru. Yeah, that was the first one.
This was like the third one. This is the third one that we're gently.
Oh, Jet Li. What is that?
He was a character. I know that it's just been revoked.
Diplomatic immunity.
And then the other guy, he's like, what are you doing?
I'm looking to see if I'm on plastic. Oh, yeah, that was a great movie.
It was a great movie. Anyway, lethal weapon one was a good movie.
They were all good movies. What was it?
It's Danny Glover, Mel Gibson, Mel Gibson and Mel Gibson was funny with the whole crazy dude.
He's like, you want to jump? He was standing on top of the building with that one guy.
The opening scene, he's like, you want to jump? You want to jump? And he's looking with his eyes crossed.
He's like, let's jump. Let's jump. And he's like, fair faucet hair as well.
And he's like, this guy's crazy. This guy's crazy. He's one of the Charlie's Angels.
And he's like, and he jumps off. Did he jump up?
They jumped off the building together, landed on the little pulled him off.
Basically, they jumped off onto the platform.
That's the little, yeah, they're a little fused thingy.
The little, yeah, the big trampoline thing. The blown, the inflated air infused.
That's the balloon. Yeah, it's it can also be called a balloon.
So that's the cast Mel Gibson, Danny Glover and Joe Pesci.
He looks like Baby Yoda. Look at Joe Pesci now with the hat on. He looks like Baby Yoda.
What's up with that?
Renee Russo was hot in those movies. I remember that.
Yeah, I liked it when she was showing off her like, look at this is where I got this gun shot in 1982.
I got a knife blown off me here. Oh, yes.
This is from a shrapnel that came off of a seventy five.
She's Thor's mom. I know. Yeah.
Yeah, Thor's mom. She's dead. Yeah.
Wow. She was pretty. I'm saying she's really pretty.
Renee Russo.
I'll tell you what this high west double rye is.
It's lingering. It's lingering.
Tearing up your colon.
They're like belching smoke.
It's not tearing up the colon. It is. It is coming back at me.
And that I've got some indigestion.
No, I have some belching cigarettes.
I have some acid reflux is what I've got.
You know, I need some popcorn or something.
And I don't I don't want to say it. I still like it.
But it's at the same time, I'm kind of like it's a little over the top.
I don't know if it would be better on a cube.
You know what? I think that's that's valid.
I think it would look I think it would taste a lot better on some other night.
Yeah. Yeah. Well, well, no, no, we'll try.
I've got cubes downstairs. But next time we have this, let's make sure we try.
We'll make a note on here. We'll put a little sticker on here.
Do not touch cube with cube only, because I think that's that's a fair that's fair assessment.
Drink at your own risk.
It's not that bad. I know it's just significantly different than what with it with a cube and maybe a splash of bitters.
I've got some old fashioned mix down there. I do have a bitters as well.
Just just just to kind of look at a drop.
You want to add bitters to that?
I don't.
I'm sorry. Well, well, just fucked everything up.
Yeah, I'm not subscribing to this crazy program.
Hey, speaking of crazy program, how long are you going to be stuck in that contraption with your shoulder surgery and my stylist?
Stylish sling? Yeah. Well, I mean, it does.
I don't think it does much because he's like doing the chicken wing.
I'm not. It came in handy at a few concerts where we're smuggling carafe of liquor.
Urban, how did I let you smuggle in peach with the nastiest?
Why would you do that? You know what?
You know, all the choices of what you could bring in to a concert.
Again, I still not over it.
I was like, that was the one time that I've been like, hey, you want another one?
No, I'm good.
Who does that? Who's at a concert with their buddies and they're like, yeah, no, I'm good.
I'm all sticky because it spilled all over me.
No shit. And I've got like paper cups.
Oh, yeah, they were leaking through the bottom.
Were they paper? They're bad.
Yeah, it was leaking everywhere.
I was all sticky.
Your shoes are sticking. Awful.
Like the movie theaters. Was that Kansas?
That was Kansas. Yeah, that was a good concert.
I enjoyed it.
Well, we got another one coming up.
We got sticks.
Yeah, that's coming up fairly soon, isn't it?
November 12.
Was there anything in September?
I'm sure there is.
Oh, the snarky puppy was in September. We missed it.
We missed it.
I completely forgot about it. It was like this weekend or next weekend.
I don't know.
Actually, no, it's maybe tonight.
Really? I don't think we can get there in time.
Maybe. Anyway, it's coming up very soon if it hasn't happened.
Anyway, so you asked me about my sling.
Yeah, I mean, how long are you going to be wearing it?
I think I'm in the sling for another two weeks and then I can start rehab in four weeks.
So I got to wait.
So two weeks and then another four weeks.
So I mean, last, because you don't have Sonos, you were frustrated trying to score some music for the Labor Day party.
And to the point where you threw your phone.
So did that hurt your...
With my left hand.
Oh, I wasn't sure which arm it was. I mean, because sometimes, you know...
Yeah, no, I'm not going to throw anything with my right hand because that's my hurt shoulder.
But you'll play pool.
Yeah, but I didn't really move it.
Yeah, but you complained a lot about the pain.
No, no, no. I was putting my shoulder on the table and then like not moving it and using it as a...
Negative.
Yes, I was.
No, you weren't.
Yeah.
Your arm was way out.
My arm was way out.
Really?
I even think your fingers were spread out at one point.
Well, that explains why it hurts so bad right now.
Well, you explained why it hurt at the time you were doing it.
Yeah.
Yeah, you were like, this hurts when I do this.
I'm not really all that bright.
I don't know if I've brought that up to you guys.
Very low IQ.
I think you're pretty smart.
Oh, you do sense it.
I just think you're...
Stubborn.
No, I'm just stupid.
I'm just stupid. I don't know how to explain it.
I already went through a surgery where I ruined the surgery.
And I'm probably going to do it to this one too, you know, whatever.
You know, I want to back up a little bit.
A few subjects.
We were talking about that Zed run, the digital horse racing.
How long has that been going on?
A couple years, I think.
So, I mean, this is something where they've got the digital horses
and they're actually performing races.
Are there videos of the races?
I've never seen one.
What's it look like?
This is so stupid.
I feel like this is all the biggest scam ever.
It just popped up on my screen for some stupid reason.
Here we go. There it is. It's explained.
Go up 100,000 dollar digital race horses.
Zed Racing Explained Top 10 Beginner Something.
Oh, God.
It's a 15-minute thing.
Yeah, we're not watching this whole thing.
I just want to see a race.
Livestream. 11, 12 hours.
Good Lord.
12 hours of live streaming horse races.
Own, race, earn.
All right, so, you know...
All right, here it is.
Gate one, gate two, gate ones through 12.
Oh, wow.
And you've got 12 horses and you've got three or four maroon
or a red, a gray, two black and a blue.
And what...
What, what...
And Kamiko's taking up in the front.
Cobra's popped up on horse length behind.
Shadow Unlimited is picking up.
What, what, what makes them win again?
They're breeding.
So, you spend money to improve their breeding,
their bloodline.
OK, so this is a...
Yeah, that's in-game purchases.
You know how you spend money to get the better gun
and the better this and the better that?
This is idiots in real life.
Idiots in real life spending money.
So, my destiny is just pulling away.
Yeah, of course, the better lead right now.
Because they spend...
Oh, look at that, look at that.
Cobra's coming up.
Cobra's taking the lead.
It's...
What's his name?
Well, you know, and then there's the...
You spend some money in endurance, you know.
I guess.
Certain horses are able...
Well, you saw earlier stud fees, right?
So, you could spend $130 and get the traits of that horse.
So, there are four levels of gender in ZED,
which are a colt, stallion, filly, and mare.
I can't describe how it is.
A male ray horse, a male ray horse,
can be a colt in either a virgin or a ray horse,
or a stallion in either a ray horse that has a fowl.
Fowl.
It's a fowl.
It's a baby.
Is that something that's underneath your periculum?
No, it's a baby.
It's a baby horse.
A baby horse.
Subsequently, a female ray horse can be a filly
in either a virgin or a ray horse, or mare.
Therefore, all ray horses are born as either a colt or a filly.
There you go.
So, there you go.
So, you saw the one where it's a $100,000 race.
That's ridiculous.
People betting on that.
I can't.
And you think it'd be skewed, right?
So, you're like, oh, wow, we have a bunch of bets on this.
If they win, we're going to lose our ass.
So, let's make sure this horse...
But think about it.
Let's say you've got this horse,
and you're grooming this thing.
You're putting in your money.
You're doing everything you're supposed to.
Like, this digital fucking pet rock, whatever it is.
And you're racing with it.
I think it's kind of cool.
I mean, I think it's got merit.
I really do.
More so.
I wouldn't personally do it, but...
More so than the ape?
So, again, those are...
That's different.
I think this has more potential to make money,
but you have to really be involved in it.
I think you're going to have a lot of geeks
that are going to be creating these little characters
and racing against each other.
And then, you know, it's like bringing your car
with your blue note, saying, hey, man, let's race.
That's what's going to be next.
Or pink slip.
That's what's going to be next, by the way.
There's going to be race cars.
Oh, yeah.
So, you know what this is?
Actually, that's not a bad idea.
Right.
This is the ultra-riches version of video games.
It's...
It was a GTR?
I'm not kidding.
This is the ultra-riches version of video games.
That's it.
They're bored.
They have so much money,
they don't know what to do with it,
they buy a horse for $180,000,
and then they have parties to do
to watch their little horse race.
Oh, it's really cheesy graphics, too.
I would expect better graphics than this.
Yeah, it's horrible.
I know.
I mean, it's a scam.
I mean, the racetrack sucks.
It's like...
Yeah, the racetrack is 12 lanes wide.
It's like they're playing in the Tron.
I would expect digital...
Yeah, it's like a Tron.
It looks like Tron.
I actually would expect it like real...
Like, with grass kicking up and dirt kicking up.
I mean, you know, it looking like a real horse race.
Yeah, it's smoke billowing out its nose.
Yeah.
Jockey on it.
Angry.
I think the next thing is,
is you're going to have to invest in a jockey.
What the fuck was that?
Shame on you.
Where's my horse?
Don't do that again.
Okay.
Can we stop watching this?
It's irritating me.
Well, it's the bronze Guinness steaks.
It's stupid.
Yeah, I just wanted to see a race.
I'm not buying a horse.
How much does it cost to buy a horse
and put him in the race?
$1,000?
If you sold a horse, what,
cheap ones were $150,
I would probably lose every race.
Then you have to start breeding it.
Yeah, then I have to start adding,
add on game, add on stuff.
I wonder if the horse has a life expectancy.
Like, do they die?
I don't know.
All right, so in 181 days,
we could buy into the thick of it,
which is a beautiful silver horse
with a neon,
what do you call the thing that go around its base?
Is that a, is that a foal?
No, not a mane.
Is that a filly or a colt?
I don't know.
Does it have a panouce hanging down there?
Anyway, so we can buy it.
It's got a bloodline, all that shit.
Yeah, bloodline's a blue,
a blue-in, 63% have this trait.
The breed type is exclusive.
Breed type.
The colt color is alice blue.
1% have this trait.
1%, ooh, that makes it valuable.
And the genotype.
But they all look the same, except for the color.
They all look exactly the same.
I think they should have like
big ass Clydesdales and shit out there.
I put a Gatling gun on mine.
Now you're talking.
Yeah, you should be able to like, weaponry on it.
Zap in those.
Are these robot horses?
Be like the Star Wars podcast races
and I'd be that dude coming up next to me
and I'd be like, poof, poof, poof, poof.
Yeah, but can you do it to where?
But its back opens up and a gun comes out of it.
Is it a robot horse?
Well, they're digital,
so I imagine you can, you can
be like a transformer.
Well, why can't you just put like a jet engine up its butt?
So scroll down a little bit, let me see this.
And then have it like fly through the air.
That'd be fun.
How much does that cost?
So this looks like a bid.
So someone's bid.
So there are offers, the right now.
Somebody bid $71.
And then it was overbid by
somebody else, a little authority.
And $102.
That's such an odd.
So what are they saying?
That they have two bids on it?
That's for the horse.
Or you can buy it straight out for $160.
I just can't.
Yeah, but the thing is they bought it for
they tried buying it for $71.60.
You would think they would outbid it by
$71.61.
Well, maybe they went up to
.03 because at the time
that's what Ethereum was worth.
I don't know.
I just hate all this stuff,
to be honest, including
cryptocurrency.
I wonder if you have stalls.
Yeah, I'm not a huge proponent for
cryptocurrency. I don't give a shit, any of them.
Yeah, I'm losing on everything I've ever bought.
I would like to be more
positive about it, but
I'm just not.
It's not real.
None of this shit's real.
How can you invest in something that you have
no idea where it came from?
And I'm not just saying that.
This was not invented by some Asian dude
who came from fucking cave somewhere.
This was a real person
that it's fictitious.
How can you invest in something
that they won't even tell you how it came about?
You know why?
Because
there's something screwy going on.
And they're going to
get
trillions of people wrapped up into this.
Maybe not trillions, but
trillions of dollars wrapped up into this.
And then someone's going to pull the plug on it and be like
hahahaha, mine.
It's like a long scam.
I don't know.
I don't doubt it. I kind of trust that
Dany character that was the angry
old man where he was just like
he's convinced that
Putin is the one behind
Bitcoin. So how many people that have
made millions of dollars
are cashing out?
How many of them? Probably not very many.
Because they want it to
go to 180 million.
And they want it to go to 300 million.
So they're going to keep hanging on.
This is all gambling, right?
So they're going to lose it all.
I don't know what they call it, a marker or every
fiscal quarter or every benchmark.
They're saying
pull half out, keep half in.
Let it get higher.
Pull half out, keep half in.
So
I don't know what the benchmarks are.
I don't trust it.
I don't either.
I do not.
I don't even want to trust a
Bitcoin.
There's nothing like US dollar has gold, right?
Yeah, there's not backing a Bitcoin.
Whek there's tangible.
There's tangible value.
There'sproofing that backs it,
except people spending money on it.
Bitcoin. Well it's blockchain right? Well now they have brokers that you know that
you purchase and they sell you. I don't know man. I don't know either. But you
have these people who build these tremendously large server farms right
and just mine for this stuff. Now what does that mean mining for Bitcoin? Well I
think they created so many of these Bitcoin I'm not an expert in this but I
think they created let's say a hundred thousand Bitcoin and they're out there
in the. They hit them like like an Easter egg hunt? Yeah and these people are going
out to find them. It's called mining for Bitcoin. I know. Like mining for gold.
But that's the extent of my knowledge. I don't know if that's true.
There's a there's a little bit more to it but I think we need to talk about it
on the second half here. I don't know. We're gonna dive into. It's
irritating me. That's our first half thank you for listening out there. We're
gonna sign off for the first half. We're gonna be the point two now. We're gonna
come back with Rebel. Oh I'm excited. Oh yeah. So it's a rebel. It's the angry
rebel. We call it Rebel Yell. Rebel Yell. It is Rebel Yell. What is it though? What
is the cask strength or what? It's distillers. Distillers something
or other. Oh it's nice. We got Vanna White over here. Yeah we're gonna check it out
in the second half here. So you turn the number there. Alright dudes like us.
Alright.
