All right.
Temperature is fantastic.
I know it's a little stormy out there, but I'm digging the October feel.
The October vibe, I think it's going to be pretty, it's going to be pretty good.
I don't think it's going to be hot.
I think it's supposed to be 100 degrees next week.
Is it really?
I don't know.
You dick.
108.
But it's typical for Dallas and Texas, Northern Texas, where you could have two, three weeks
of great weather and then it's it's fricking hot.
Right.
For a few days.
Dudes like us.
Welcome.
It's October 13.
I'm Sean.
I'm Jeff.
I'm Paul.
And we're dudes like us.
And we're enjoying a very tasty bourbon tonight.
Yes, we are.
And it is the it's the Woodford Reserve double oak, double oak, which we found out is truly
double oak, meaning put in one barrel.
Sean just shot his.
Oh, wow.
Put it down like syrup.
Put in one barrel and then and finished in a second.
Yeah, it definitely brings out.
I mean, there's on the nose.
It's it's some caramel.
One finish in barrels has been toasted twice as long, but charred much more lightly than
the other cast for an additional nine months.
Interesting.
OK, so it doesn't say how long it was aged to begin with, but we can assume three to
five years.
I thought you said it was forty five years.
Yeah, I think I might have overshot that.
Yeah, yeah, we said forty five in the first barrel and thirty five in the second barrel.
Yeah, so it's our parents age.
Yeah, it's amazing.
No, anyway.
So yeah, it's smooth.
Yeah, it's good.
It's only ninety two proof.
Maybe something like that proof.
Yeah, but it's it's good.
I highly recommend it.
It's tasty.
It is agreed.
What are your takes on the show?
You know, at first.
It's just like all the rest of them, you know, it kind of it was kind of hot, burnt.
But after having it up here for about 10 minutes, 15 minutes, I mean, I pulled it back.
It's really smooth.
Yeah, I enjoyed it.
You know, I pulled up a note here.
It says Woodford Reserve doubling production in the twenty fifth year.
So this came out October 10th, 2021.
One of the things the Kentucky is known for is making the best bourbon in the world.
Woodford Reserve wants more of the world to enjoy its product as it celebrates its twenty
fifth anniversary.
Master distiller Chris Moore says the milestone has led him to reflect on how far Woodward
Reserve has come in the past quarter century.
So I thought that was pretty cool.
Twenty fifth year.
That is cool.
And now we're drinking it.
It came out October 10th.
Well, the story did.
Yeah, the story came out October 10th.
OK, I was like, man, we just have just nabbed it, but we were there before the 10th.
All right.
So all right.
Sounds good.
So how is your write up on the mash bill or the with the nose finish any of that?
Scroll down a little bit there, Mr. Producer, doesn't say.
Well, 51 percent corn is all it says.
Yeah, that's all it says.
That's bourbon.
Yeah, I love how they do it.
They don't want to give you they don't want to tell you what the recipe is.
So they say, well, you know, it's at least 51 percent corn because that's what it has
to be to be a bourbon.
That's funny.
So it can't be a bourbon.
So I think it's I think that it's right is low.
If any, I think that's I think it's a wheat bourbon.
It tastes like a wheat bourbon to me.
I know because it's smooth.
I don't think it's a wheat bourbon.
It tastes very smooth.
Let's go to the Woodford Reserve website and see.
Oh, you got to put in your blood sample and.
So it can't be a bourbon because it's been aged in more than one barrel.
I don't think that matters because you have flavored bourbons as well.
Oh, marzipan.
The nose has marzipan.
You're going to have to go back over the bourbon rules again.
We should know this by now.
No, aging in two barrels does not make it not a bourbon, does it?
I thought it didn't say the word bourbon on the bottle anywhere.
No, and that's why it does.
It says Kentucky straight bourbon right there.
Oh, never mind. I was just kidding.
Because they have finished bourbons as well, like the important barrels.
Right. All right.
You know, marzipan, I didn't know what that was.
I had to I had to look that up.
I still don't know what that is.
Marzipan, it's a it's a confection consisting
of sugar, honey and almond meal. It's almond paste type of.
Isn't that what they make cake icing out of?
Like when you see these cakes that are.
Like cake boss, that big sheet of stuff icing, I think that's marzipan.
OK, I believe it is, but I'm not the baker.
Well, they have it.
All right, so.
One of the things that
everyone seems distracted with their phones.
You know, I heard it beep and I was like, where the fuck is it?
I couldn't find it. It landed on the ground.
I am tired of not remembering what the bourbon rules are.
So I was going to look them up.
You know, it would be nice if we just put a big chart up on the wall,
something with a big font and, you know, I'm sure they make a poster.
Well, they make that was it that Scotch poster we saw?
No, maybe we can make it on our own.
You had it up. We just got our CNC machine, folks.
Oh, yeah, we could. Oh, yeah, we could do a little home.
Do we can have like, you know, like, what are we going to talk about the bourbon
and just have a bullet list and I like that.
And we just add to the boat list every time there's something else
we want to make sure that we include in our conversations because we are kind of random.
Well, there it is. Once you click on that thing and we'll go
walk through it, because I'm tired of not knowing.
So 10 fun facts about bourbon,
uh, by the Chilled magazine.
And I'm not seeing 10 facts.
I can't really see it.
Not really fun.
What is all that garbage down at the bottom that's popping up?
It's a crappy website.
It is Pinterest, that's why.
Oh, well, there you go.
Because you're trying to they're trying to sell you that.
OK, well, you don't sell anything on Pinterest.
There it is. All right.
Produced in the United States and territories.
And the District of Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia.
All right. Made from a grain mixture that has at least 51 percent corn.
That's the only one we always keep saying.
Aged in new charred oak containers.
It doesn't say one or more.
It just says new distilled to no more than one hundred and sixty proof.
Thank God.
I think our most stout is one hundred and thirty.
Yeah, I was going to say that you don't need to go higher than that.
Entered into the container for aging at no more than one hundred and twenty five proof.
OK, that's probably why we don't remember these things.
These are really boring facts.
I want to read something a little different.
Now there's more. I've got bourbon fun facts.
OK, so the number one bourbon fun fact or start with it.
It's the real reason May 4th is an important date.
Sorry, Star Wars fans, but May the 4th
was special long before Obi Wan and Yoda wished us well in the force.
In fact, 13 years before the first Star Wars movie came out in theaters on May 4th,
1964, bourbon became America's only official native spirit.
Ah, so that's 1964, 1964.
Yeah, that math skill.
I'm a math lead. Well, I said it too.
So I did the math.
Truly came out and really your Star Wars came out.
Shockingly amazing. Yes.
OK, let's let's move on to the next one.
In fact, you want me to do another one?
Yeah, just go another one.
All right. Well, so this next one, I think Paul may have seen it
because he's interested in getting into the next one because he's going to be like,
Oh, look at me. I went on that.
I don't doubt it.
No, I'm not talking about downtown Dallas.
You know what? Never mind.
So the number two one, there is a bourbon trail you can explore.
If you're heading to Kentucky anytime soon, you'd be remiss to skip
a trip down to the Bourbon Trail within thirty seven distilleries,
bourbon themed restaurants and historic hotels.
It's an adventurous every bourbon fanatic needs to experience.
Or the bourbon trail. Have you been there?
I want to do it now. I thought you had.
No, I've just been to the wild turkey discovery.
I told you when you went to that, you go to Williamsburg or something like that.
No, no, no, just that one in Kentucky.
That was the only one I've been to.
So even casual consumers will love going to the Bourbon Trail.
You'll get to explore Kentucky history and the roots of the bourbon
industry, which are undeniably intertwined by bus, bike or bourbon boat.
You can experience the birth of America's first spirit hand.
You know what I think we should do, especially with reaching such a wide
audience, I say we start a GoFundMe to have the three of us sent on the bourbon trail.
That's what you call a pity party.
So what it's going to be, it's going to be each of us donating to it and paying for it anyway.
Look, it's up to ten thousand dollars.
Yeah, you know, I just see the cash and all the 10,000 dollars.
Are you kidding? Yeah.
From Jeff, Sean and I.
That's fucked.
Yeah, a little large.
They have to be anonymous.
I wonder if we can get on a because that's the Ohio River that side.
I wonder if we can get on a boat in Mississippi.
You mentioned that.
Did you mention that during a podcast?
You can. I was researching it just tonight.
Did we talk about that on a podcast?
Take a paddle boat up there.
Yeah.
About the taking a river trip as opposed to a cruise.
Yes.
Well, it's a paddle boat cruise.
It's a paddle boat cruise.
Did we talk about this on the podcast or was that just in general?
I don't know, but my father in law is wanting to take Shelly and I on an all expenses paid
nine day paddle boat cruise up the Mississippi.
That or the Ohio.
You know, I think what goes up to Ohio than the Ohio.
We did not talk about that in the podcast.
I think I was in the room with Alan.
When he brought that up.
Yeah, it seems really cool.
I mean, especially if you can do.
Can you hop out of that and do the Bourbons rail?
No, not really.
Well, a lot of the well, a lot of there's distilleries in their downtown Louisiana or
Louisville, Louisville, and you can hit a couple of the river.
And that's right on the river.
All those numbers up there that are bunched.
That's the Ohio River right now.
OK, so yeah, it's just a matter of those.
It's just a matter.
If you're going gone for nine days, I imagine you could find one that goes up the Ohio River.
Yeah, no, there could you go to Mississippi and then take the cool thing.
Yeah, that would be kind of cool.
It's slow paced.
Maybe the wife would be able to do that.
I don't know.
It kind of cool.
Yeah, because I remember definitely enjoy growing up going down to the Ohio River and
see those huge paddle boats.
Yeah, I mean, they're like old school, which you see.
Yeah, they are exactly old school.
Yeah, big and white.
I think there was one called the Dixie Queen.
Well, how many people fit on that?
Six.
They extended it.
They converted a closet.
It's now eight.
No, I have no idea.
No, I mean, the regular river boats.
I mean, are there like 50 people or is it like?
I'd be like 130.
It's already close.
I really don't know.
I've never looked.
I know when I was a senior in high school, our little senior trip was a party barge on the river.
It was an old paddle boat that had the top deck was just a big party room kind of a thing.
We didn't booze or anything, but it was, you know, they had food and pop and.
That's more like a fairy.
Well, yeah, what's not as big as the big ones with the sweets and stuff in it.
But it was still fun because we went up and down the Ohio River for a few miles.
Sure, sure, a blast.
And it was good.
You're outside.
Yeah, well, it sounds like it'd be fun.
Put in paddle boat cruise or riverboat cruise to paddle boats.
You're just putting crews on the end of that.
And let's see if we get a hit.
All right, let's see.
Yeah, 100 to 250 guests.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know what they look like inside.
I'm sure they're nice, but sure.
They're really nice.
Like I said, it's supposed to be awesome.
And you're supposed to be kind of like, you know, other that one, that one, the second one there.
Yeah, that's awesome.
That's what they typically look like.
Shouldn't even be that.
And actually, I think that one right there is from Cincinnati.
Shoot.
That's the US River Cruise get your Americana via its waterways.
That looks over in Europe somewhere, that one there.
Because you're going to go up to the Blue Danube.
And so that's kind of cool because I see like a dining area.
Oh, yeah.
You know, I'm sure there might be some other areas.
You go and make food, man.
I don't know.
Just like a normal cruise, right?
A normal ocean cruise.
Yeah, I don't want to be that guy, but it looks like it may get a little boring on that to be further.
Nine, nine days, unless unless they.
Well, I'm sure there's excursions.
They're like, OK, we're going to go up a full day to I don't know where you go to up to Mississippi.
We're going to go up to.
Yeah, they stop.
Of course, we stop in Memphis.
Exactly.
For a day.
So you basically eat breakfast there, take off, do your day stuff, come back, have dinner,
chill out of the boat, drink, go to bed, wake up and another, you know, whatever.
Yeah.
Eight hours away.
Walk around on the deck and soak in the awesome, you know, countryside.
I wonder if you do some fishing off the side.
You fish right off the back.
I don't think I'd eat any fish that's come out of the.
I wouldn't either.
No, I wouldn't either.
Because there's some big fish in there, big sturgeon.
Yeah, huge fish in the Ohio.
I know the Ohio.
I'm sure there are in the Mississippi, too.
So plus you have the bull shark.
Bull shark.
They're everywhere that goes up the Mississippi.
Are you kidding?
No, not at all.
Oh, wow.
I've never heard of a shark attack in the Mississippi River.
They go up the rivers because they can do salt and freshwater.
We've had that discussion.
Yeah, the bull shark can go up the river.
The sturgeon can keep pretty big, too.
Those things attack people.
Yes, sturgeon.
I mean, look at those teeth.
I don't know.
I've never heard of one, but they get they get really, really big.
Several hundred pounds.
How has there not been a bull shark attack on the Mississippi River?
Has there been?
I don't know.
I've never heard of one.
I don't know.
I wonder if that happens.
Those are sturgeons.
That looks weird.
Is that a sturgeon?
I don't know if that thing is what the looks like the sucker mouth, but.
That big one there, that's a sturgeon.
Oh, my God.
That one next to it.
Look how big that thing is.
Yeah.
So it says bull sharks are often considered to be the most dangerous sharks to humans
because of their aggressive tendencies.
And they're found off the shores in the Gulf of Mexico and Florida,
where a lot of people like to swim in the ocean.
Yeah, no, I hear you.
So.
Yeah, that would suck.
Getting attacked by a shark would suck.
Yes, it would.
Yeah.
I'm just.
Are you looking for bull shark attacks in the river?
Yeah, I clicked on it and it went to like a national,
not national require, but the other national magazines.
Well, I mean, but we saw that one video of that person that was parasailing
and they started to come out of the water and the bull shark attacked them.
That was on the Ohio River.
Could have been.
That was actually me when I was 15.
Really? And you were parasailing?
Parasailing on the Ohio River.
There's no way we took our boat.
It wasn't my boat.
It was my two friends bought a boat.
It was a piece of turd, 20 foot bay liner.
And me and a buddy went down there one day, it was during the week,
and took the boat down there.
And well, that river, for one thing, is dangerous because you're going
and you'll see like entire tree floating down the river.
Oh, right.
Down the river.
And if you're not paying attention, you're going to run into that damn thing.
And they have these huge barges, massive barges that take coal and shit up
and down the river.
Right.
And the wakes on those things are tremendous.
And my asshole friend was like, well, I'm going to go jump those.
Oh, no.
So we're like getting air in the middle of the Ohio River
and you can slam it down.
That's not a good idea.
No, you have no seatbelt on or anything.
Right.
So but when you're 19.
What's a split your boat in half?
Well, it started to sink.
That's why we had to go in.
He was taking on water.
Oh, my God.
What an idiot.
Yeah.
So those are I don't know if you have you been on the Mississippi or the Ohio?
Those are huge.
I've driven over the rivers.
I've driven over them, but not.
Yeah.
And they're massive.
Yeah.
How wide are they?
I mean, they're big.
It's not miles.
10 or 15 feet, right?
At least.
I can broad jump it.
It's ridiculous how big they are.
It's it's it's bigger than you think.
You know, when you're especially if you're not used to seeing something that.
Correct.
Yeah.
I mean, you're on a family road trip, right?
And you're like, hey, everybody, the Mississippi.
And it's like, whoa.
Yeah, it's big.
Yeah, it's massive.
Yeah, it's big.
I mean, even if you think about, you know, a mile, half a mile,
you know, that's that that's a long way.
Oh, yeah.
You drive and that's.
That's what 30 seconds for if you're going 60 miles per hour.
Yeah.
Well, they're big enough to have two barges, one going one way, one going the other.
Yeah.
Right.
With other shit going on on the sides.
Right.
Like you guys.
Yeah.
Jumping.
Yeah.
Following this barge.
Yeah.
Just enough room for that.
Yeah.
We probably look like idiots.
Total, total idiots.
And, you know, the captain of the barge is probably like.
Oh, well, fuckers, what can I do?
It's like I'm going to suck another one up into the engine.
That's what happens.
Do you get sucked underneath?
Yeah.
Of the boat of the barge and you come shooting out the bottom.
The producer popped up a screen.
They got this.
It's like a tugboat pushing a big flat.
Yeah.
Is that what it is?
Yeah.
She liked that.
Look how big that is.
Yeah.
Anyway, pretty impressive.
And I think a riverboat down down that thing would be amazing.
The countryside and all the stuff on the outside.
Once you get outside the cities, because the cities are usually kind of gnarly and nasty.
But once you get out there, just like the Ohio, a lot of the Ohio is like this as well, where
you're there, just trees and shit, you know, and then you come across these little river towns and
stuff like that.
You see the river folk.
Well, I tell you what, the Mississippi is big enough to where it became a
massive boundary of the United States.
By getting across the Mississippi.
Oh, yeah.
It's part of the Louisiana Purchase.
Yeah.
I mean, getting across the Mississippi was like, you know, to get to the West.
Like, how are we going to do it?
Yeah.
Past them.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, they had to, I mean, even like those rafts with the guys on the poles and they would,
you know, go back and forth.
Imagine how long that would take to get like, you know.
Would they do a rope and like pull yourself?
I don't know.
Or have horses pull you?
That's what I'm saying.
I mean, it's big enough to where it's a massive geological barrier.
What is just like the Sierra Nevada mountains?
That's where a lot of people died getting to California.
It's crazy how much the volume of water and the direction it's going.
Right.
Yeah.
Most of the rivers go the other way.
Mississippi goes south.
Well, down to the.
Go from Mexico.
Mexico.
What do you mean?
Well, like, why would they go the other way?
What do you mean?
Well, I mean, there's one river in the United States that goes the opposite direction than
almost all the other rivers.
That's the Nile, isn't it?
No, that's in Africa.
Yes.
I'm talking about in the United States.
What river is that?
I don't know.
Well, the Ohio goes east and west.
It's the Brazos.
It could be the Brazos.
It goes north to prosper.
So the Mississippi goes north to south because it empties into the Gulf.
That's right.
The Ohio goes east and west.
Click on that black and white one.
It shows all the different river systems, the major river systems.
You got the Arkansas, the Missouri, the Illinois, the Ohio.
All drain our tributaries, right, in their own ways into the Mississippi,
which is why the Mississippi is so freaking huge.
Well, at least down at the bottom.
Who knows what it looks like way up there at the top.
Yeah, once all the rivers dump into...
Maybe that's what it was.
Maybe the Nile is the only one going north and the rest of them are going south.
Prevailing winds.
It's a prevailing winds thing.
You can sail up the Nile because there's prevailing winds, which is atypical.
Something like that.
So you're saying the wind is blowing the current?
No, the wind is blowing the opposite direction, which is why they're able to sail
the opposite direction from where the river is running.
Oh, regarding the Nile?
The Nile, yeah.
So the current isn't actually running in that direction?
There's a little tidbit of a tree that popped into my head.
Is there any river that flows south to north?
Oh, I don't know.
That's in the northern hemisphere because the Amazon, I believe, flows south to north, right?
No, the Nile River flows south to north.
OK.
Yes, but that is in the southern hemisphere.
That's in the northern hemisphere, the Nile is.
It is?
It's in Africa, right?
Northern Africa?
Northern Africa, yeah.
I thought it was in both.
Yeah, you're right.
So there's one section where it doesn't travel at all, the equator, there's no movement of water?
None.
It's stagnant.
None.
This is a big stagnant...
It's a pool.
It's all mossy.
It fills into a lake.
That's why a lot of people have no drinking water on the equator.
It's like Paul's hot tub.
It's a big toilet.
My hot tub is fine.
Petri dish.
Oh, well look at that.
No, the Nile River does go into the southern hemisphere.
That's what I said, fills in both.
Oh, look at that.
Because remember, the equator goes right through the middle of the Sahara Desert.
So that river is divided...
Is the equator where the divider is between the green and the...
No.
No, it's a little farther north than that.
But, interesting.
We're doing a little bit of geography today.
That's very exciting.
That was not on the docket today.
No, it was not on the...
But, you know, when we talk about interesting things, why stop?
That's right.
So I'm curious now, is there any river that flows the opposite direction than it should?
I mean, I could be all wrong about the Amazon.
I don't know.
I pulled that out of my ass.
What do you mean, the opposite direction?
I pulled the prevailing winds thing out of my ass too.
Well, we knew that.
That's not a good...
Yeah.
So, well, the Amazon is in south...
The Amazon River is in South America.
Yes, it's in Brazil.
And more.
So...
Actually flows...
Yeah, the Amazon River actually flows backwards in the opposite direction of east to west.
So in defense of what Paul says, it says, although it doesn't happen often,
hurricanes can cause coastal rivers to reverse flow between the extremely strong winds
and the massive waves of water pushed by those winds rivers.
I'm not giving Paul credit for that.
But that's...
No, but that's different.
That's...
You're talking about Amazon.
Scientists conclude why Amazon River flows backwards.
That's what you need to read.
Well, it doesn't say that though.
No, up above.
It does.
Well, here, click that.
Oh, you're talking about...
I'm looking at the stream.
One more above.
Right there.
Why does the Amazon flow 10 million years ago?
A truly remarkable mystery ensued when this flow of water in the Amazon River
changed from west to east, creating the mighty Amazon River
that exists now with water flowing towards the Atlantic Ocean.
A previous study suggests the about face in the Amazon River
was due to the gradual changes in the rock deep beneath the South American continent.
Oh, that was anticlimactic.
That didn't really tell you why.
No.
Okay, because of rocks?
I don't know.
Interesting.
Erosion.
I'm thinking gravity.
Wouldn't it be?
Yeah, it should be.
I mean, shit rolls downhill.
So you go from high to low, right?
Well, so that's what they're saying.
Over a 10 million year period, I guess, it used to flow one direction
and then there was uplift in rock underneath and it changes the topography.
It's amazing.
And then suddenly the river changes direction.
It's amazing the power of water and the volume of water
that's traveling from the South to the North.
I mean, just to fathom what goes over Niagara Falls every single second.
Have you ever seen that clip of when they diverted all the water away from the Niagara Falls?
It was a while ago.
But yeah, they diverted the Niagara Falls was dry.
Completely dry.
Were they cleaning it?
Yeah, I think that's what the goal was.
They were reinforcing something and they yeah, there was a bunch of shit down there.
Yeah, I don't remember why they did it.
I don't remember.
They had to have something.
It was an engineering feat.
It was crazy.
When was this done?
Like 1920?
Something like that.
I'm sure it was the Army Corps of Engineers.
There it is.
Yeah, it was creepy.
Where did they route it?
I mean, that water's got to go somewhere.
In the sewer.
They said a little gutter.
Little gutter that ran down the street.
They had a gigantic bag.
They just told everyone out there said, hey, expect water down the street.
They stored it into a big bag and then they poured it right back.
No, hold on.
Just before midnight, March 29, 1848, Niagara residents accustomed to a flow of the Niagara River were awakened when it ceased to flow.
Oh, that must have been just apocalyptic.
Dude, that was in 1848.
Was it really?
Yes.
No, they wouldn't have pictures like that.
They had pictures back then.
Well, I know, but you know what I mean.
Well, maybe they did it again.
There really was a picture from 1848.
Yeah, it was in a helicopter.
Right.
So why did they do it?
It was a drone.
Yeah, but some of those are color pictures.
There's no way they had color pictures back then.
Yeah, you can.
They've done this more than once.
Well, you can color pictures.
No, you can't.
World War II in color?
No, can't do it.
All right.
Hold on.
I'm going to find out why.
Why did they?
So they stopped to study what actions, if any,
should be taken to remove the debris at the base of the American Falls.
Why would they care?
They said the American Falls were stopped by US Army Corps of Engineers
in order to study what actions, if any, should be taken to remove the debris
at the base of the American Falls.
Upon completion of the study, it was decided to let nature take its course
and do nothing about the Warrock removal.
I believe there may have been some pieces that were precariously attached
to the side, and they were debating on whether they should mitigate it,
knock it down, or.
Why?
I mean, who's it going to hit?
You know what?
I guess they had tours down there.
I don't know.
They did that in 1848.
Yeah, it's amazing.
That is amazing.
I wonder how many fish died.
So they said there's an estimated 5,000 dead bodies found.
No, there was an estimated 5,000 bodies were found at the foot of the falls
between 1850 and 2011.
So I'm wondering if that's a.
Of people who just like swam over it?
Or committed suicide.
Committed suicide or thought I can get into this barrel and just go over the side.
Or they just kind of like, hey, Jimmy DeFish, Dave, would you dig Ike over here?
You only need some money.
And that's why they die, because that gigantic mound of debris.
They slam into it.
It's not like this nice deep pool at the bottom.
No, it's not like a nice sandy landing.
No, it isn't.
Interesting place.
Hawaiian pool.
I bet you they could never do that nowadays, because there would be too many environmentalists complaining.
Yeah, it'd be like the.
But they, what they, because this was done in the middle of the night.
I think it would wake you up.
If you're used to that roar.
Oh, for sure.
That's what they said.
They said the entire town woke up.
Because that's how much constant they do.
They not like tell them they were going to do this.
Well, who knows?
I mean, it's not like they had a TV at Facebook.
Let's ask them.
But can you imagine it's kind of like having a vacuum cleaner running and then all of a sudden it turns off and you're kind of like, oh, it must have been a deafening silence.
Yeah, it woke everyone up was so quiet.
Yeah.
No, seriously.
That's super cool.
Imagine the tranquility they had for that short amount of time.
Well, you get used to the noise.
Then the absence of the noise must have been a distraction.
It must have created a vacuum.
Well, but you know what?
So the water was probably diverted to the other side.
So we're still on.
Jeremy was still a lot of noise.
Go up.
Roll up.
Let's go.
I go.
Did look like that.
Ron Jeremy right there.
I don't think it is.
Oh, my God.
Cheat death.
No, that's that comb over.
He tried to cheat.
He tried to cheat death twice at Niagara Falls.
Okay.
Whatever.
That's kind of dumb.
Anyway, if you're looking at an overall map, I think they diverted it to the other side.
There's two sides of it.
It looks like we have the horseshoe and then the American.
Right.
So they would have still heard the noise from the other side.
Just saying that's on the Canadian side.
So I don't know how far away it is across the border.
I've never been there.
Have you guys seen the Niagara Falls?
Yes, it was frozen when I was there.
I have not seen it.
Yeah, it was frozen when I was there.
I would encourage you to go.
Literally not flowing, like flowing underneath.
It was frozen.
Yeah, it freezes.
I would encourage you to go, but I wouldn't bring anybody that's going to be bored because
personally, I'm thinking you would want to go there, have lunch, and take the time to
walk around it.
Right, and soak up everything you can about it.
Man, I'm telling you.
So you did go see it.
Well, I've been there several times.
When we would visit my grandparents, it was shorter for us to go north into Canada and
then come south again around Lake Michigan.
Right.
Because they lived, well, it would take less time.
Right.
So we would go by Niagara Falls, stop by there almost every time.
That's cool.
We'd get out, cool, cool, cool.
But I mean, just to sit there, and they've got this little concrete wall with a little
wrought iron fence above it.
And there's, I mean, you could...
There's so much water going over the side.
I mean, just, I mean, you got 10 foot deep, 200 yards across, constantly falling.
Right.
I mean, it's just...
Awesome.
You, it's humbling.
Yeah, the raw awesomeness and power of...
I wonder if they could turn that into energy of some sort.
Kind of like a bunch of people pedaling bikes at a gym.
So probably not quite as efficient, but something like that.
Well, they have hydroelectric dams.
Well, no, I wonder if they have anything.
They may have something on these, on the river.
They need like a giant paddle wheel that goes all the way across.
Yes.
Like right under the water, so it's like...
Going, yeah, super crazy.
...flipping the water everywhere.
Yeah.
Hey, producer, are there tums over there?
Anybody need a beer?
Yes, I am out.
I would love a beer.
Okay, I have three.
I have Miller High Life.
I've got a Ying Ling Light and Ying Ling Logger.
I'll take a light.
I'll do a logger.
Give me the fat beer.
Yeah, we really like the Ying Lings.
I wonder if they're going to introduce more of the line.
You know, they started out with the logger, the light, and the flight.
I wonder if they're going to do the black and tan and some of the other ones.
They should.
I think it's a really good beer.
Yeah, it is tasty.
Actually, I don't...
You don't like it?
No, I don't want them to...
Oh, they have the gold too.
Which I wasn't...
I was just kind of mad.
Don't...
No, I'm telling you, what I'm saying is don't queer it up.
Just have Ying Ling, have Ying Ling Light.
You don't need a selser.
You don't need any of that other shit.
No, I'm not saying they may.
They may have a selser.
I don't know, but they also have seasonals.
Well, that's fine too, but I just don't want them to queer it up by diluting it so much
with all these different...
Ying Ling's good.
The original recipe, it's one of the oldest beers in the United States.
Was it made in Pennsylvania?
Correct.
It was funny.
I went to a football watching party on Saturday and I asked my friend who hosted it, I said,
can I bring anything?
What kind of beer do you like?
And he goes, oh, any light beer.
So I brought Ying Ling Light, right?
And my wife was like, no, I mean, is that a shit beer?
Is that a shit beer?
We should get something like a nicer beer.
Like what?
I don't know.
I was like, nothing wrong with Ying Ling Light.
It's not a shit beer.
Right.
It's not like Bush Light.
Right.
Or I don't know.
You know, some of what the college kids drink.
Right.
Like Lone Star.
Lone Star Light.
Right.
Anyway, it's just really funny how she was like, well, let's not get a shit beer.
Well, we drink shit beer then.
No, it's absolutely not a shit beer.
I disagree.
Like the Oktoberfest.
I'd like to try that.
Yeah, that might be good.
I like the Marzins in the box.
Is there anything consistent about Oktoberfest beers?
Because a lot of them make that.
They're typically Marzins, like a Bach.
Like a Bach.
Yeah.
OK.
Interesting.
Yeah, because there's a lot of them that do an Oktoberfest.
There are certain types of grains that go on in it that make it what the traditional Oktoberfest
German beer would be.
Yeah.
So I think there's some seasonal stuff that goes in there.
Now that beer right there, I wasn't a huge fan of.
Ying Ling Hershey's?
Yeah, I bought it.
No, we didn't get that.
I don't think I can do a chocolate beer.
We did not try that.
The chocolate porter.
Oh, you had it?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, we didn't have it.
We never had that one.
I don't know.
Is it thick and nasty?
It's a porter.
Yeah, it's a porter.
It doesn't have as many bubbles.
Was it creamy?
I'm going to say all nude.
Jesus, man.
That's so...
Everything has to be sexual with Jeff.
Me?
I asked if it was creamy.
Yeah, it was very just...
You spill all over your leg.
Talking pedophile.
Someone called you a pedophile the other day.
What was that?
What?
Pat Kroger?
What?
Did you pat somebody's bottom and got called a pedophile?
No one called me a pedophile.
What the hell?
What's the backstory, Jeff?
You can't just leave it hanging like that.
That's the master of deflection.
He's the master of deflection.
The power of suggestions.
Suggestions.
Even I was focused on Sean.
Yeah.
But not as really about pedophilia,
but have you seen what's going on in the Loudoun County
School Board?
Someone said you were Loudoun in whatever in the School Board.
See, I just did that.
He's a domestic terrorist.
That's right.
Well, no.
That's actually sad.
It's a meltdown.
The guy who got arrested and they were all making fun of him
calling him a domestic terrorist.
Did you hear what he was trying to do?
The father?
The father.
The daughter?
Oh, the father was freaking out because they
were covering up his daughter's rape.
Correct.
By a trans guy using the girls' bath.
She was forcibly sodomized in the bathroom at school.
And they did nothing about this kid who was a-
Except transfer him.
A transgender-
They transferred him or her.
They transferred him without doing anything about it.
And then he molested-
He did it again.
Then he assaulted a girl in a classroom at the next school.
15-year-old boy.
And now they're addressing it.
Well, what they were doing is they wanted him to be quiet
because they're trying to pass this crazy transgender law
for the schools saying that whoever it is,
they could participate in the sport of their gender.
They can go to the bathroom of their whatever gender.
It's the whole woke, transgender woke thing.
And it went bad immediately.
And they covered that up because it would have looked poorly
and they probably wouldn't have been able to pass the woke agenda.
Right.
Unbelievable.
Bullshit.
Bullshit, bullshit.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Yeah, that school board, they need to be-
Yeah, all of them need to go.
They need to be voted out.
The problem is, I mean, that's a thing that you vote for.
So people voted them in.
Right.
So it's either they wanted that or they didn't know.
Now they need to get their asses out of there.
Yeah, well, I mean, the silent majority just like minds
their own business, do their own thing until you
until you piss them off like that.
Right.
But the minority passionate people who are fighting for a cause
and they have their ideology out, you know,
and they're the ones that go and find those people and vote them in.
Right.
Honestly, there's not a lot of people that take enough time to vote.
Right.
That's my whole point.
The silent majority just sit back and get a paycheck
and take care of their kids and do life.
Right.
They don't focus on bullshit like school boards.
You're hoping that they do it right.
But it's not bullshit.
It's not bullshit.
That's the point.
It's not bullshit.
But a lot of people think school board, HOA, local races in their city,
whatever.
I mean, they think president, vote president.
President and Senate.
Not even Senate.
I mean, I think they literally just think about president.
The vast majority of people.
And yet, exactly right.
They don't think about Congress.
They don't think about representatives or Senate.
They don't think about House races.
They don't.
None of that stuff.
They don't.
Well, I think it's going to be different this time around.
I think you're right.
Because there's so much press one way or the other of what's going on.
Right.
Because all these institutions have been infiltrated by wackos.
Donald hasn't said he's running yet, has he?
Not officially, I don't think.
Who, Trump?
Yeah.
He and I are first names.
He has.
Donald.
Yeah, is Donald going to run?
Me and Donaldas.
Yeah.
Donaldas Maximus.
He has hinted that he is going to.
But I don't think he is.
Yeah, he keeps dropping these bombs, that big surprise coming.
Yeah, I think you guys are going to be really happy with the decision I make.
I really do.
You don't sound anything like Donald.
I really do.
Or really do.
It's going to be really huge.
Oy.
You sound like a stoner, your version of Donald Trump.
Wow.
What's up, dudes?
Well, that's what he said.
He said that whatever.
He's not going to say if he's going to run or not.
But I think you guys are going to be very happy with me running.
I mean, with the decision I make.
I think he's probably going to wait to see what happens in the midterms.
Yeah, he'll jump in if he's not happy about who's.
I think he'll campaign for a bunch of folks.
And then if we win the House.
Possibly the Senate will be like, all right, now I'm in.
They have screwed up so badly, meaning the left.
I don't know how they don't get Trumped in 2022.
Well, they have screwed up so mammothly, awfully badly.
Everything is up.
Food costs are up.
Yeah, everything's up.
Nobody's happy about the mandates.
Everyone's ignorant about the vaccine.
Biden's latest poll numbers are 38 percent positive.
Yeah, it's even I think it's in the 20s for the border.
Unbelievable.
What 20 percent of 25 percent approve that he's doing a good job of the border?
Who is that?
Yeah, who is that idiots?
Idiots that just like Trump people, people they get interviewed and they're like,
are you happy with how you buy people that don't?
Yeah, I like the people that don't live close to the border.
Yeah, folks up in like New York.
People who don't listen to the news and don't care.
They're ignorant.
They live in their little bubble and they're like, oh, Trump, you can't trust those guys.
Yeah, Biden.
I hear you.
It makes me sick.
I mean, even my trip up to New Jersey, I met a few people.
I was kind of like I had to bite my tongue.
Yeah, you know, because I'm there in a professional capacity.
Right.
And I'm just like, yeah.
Are they spouting off about Trump still?
How great Biden is?
Well, they find out.
They find out you're from Texas.
Give us a scenario.
Why were they talking politics?
It was about the vaccine mostly.
Okay.
And how everyone should get it, you know, not just that everyone should get it,
but it's because our president says everyone should get it.
We need to be abiding by what our president says.
Oh my God.
And I'm thinking.
Can you believe he's doing all of this with an executive order?
No legislation, no, no court, anything.
No, he told OSHA, right, to go.
This has just been a press release.
I know.
But OSHA is now putting together the rules for his executive order.
I know.
But these companies are making decisions already before based off of a press announcement.
I know that.
So there is there is no rule.
There is no law.
There is no order.
He just came out and says we should do this.
So all these companies are starting to do it.
Ridiculous.
Before it's even in place and even if it's going to be in place because it may get shot down.
Yeah.
Well already we have a judge that that did a stay for United Airlines for anybody who has a medical or or religious.
They delayed the decision.
Yeah.
Well, they said you hold on.
You can't mandate this.
We're looking at this type of thing.
Well, there was a but it was only for religious and medical exemptions.
They had a deadline and they just pushed the deadline back.
But it kind of goes in the vaccine.
The whole Southwest thing.
That's what it was for Southwest.
The whole Southwest thing is intriguing to me because Southwest is not really coming out.
They're lying as to what the reason is.
I know.
I was saying they had the same weather and oh there is no weather.
Why is it in affecting the other airlines?
Why did they do that?
Well, because pilots went on strike.
They called it sick.
They walked off the job because they were protesting the vaccine mandate.
Whoa, that's a big deal.
I don't know.
Is that officially officially?
I mean, that's what a lot of people are saying.
But then the other people are going to ask.
Not it.
That's not it.
So I don't think it's officially come out.
But a lot of the pilots are saying yeah, a lot of folks called out.
Right.
But the stained stance of the company is it was the weather and it was the well, you know why they said it's the weather.
They say if they say it's the weather, then their tickets aren't refundable.
Correct.
Yeah, they don't have to help you out.
They don't have to help you find a hotel either.
But if it's a mechanical problem, then they have to help put you up for a night.
Or if the pilots walk off the job.
Probably probably.
But yeah, they said weather and air traffic control.
And then I was the union came out and says, no, it wasn't the air traffic control.
You should always spend the extra.
Everyone has a son interview with a guy and he's like, yeah, I checked all the connecting flights and there were no weather issues on any of the connecting flights.
It's total crap.
They think this is still like 1980 when you could say it's a weather.
No one really knew.
Now everyone has basically the weather channel on their phone.
They look so how shady is that they did that because they didn't want to have to refund.
That's exactly why.
The tickets, that's so crappy.
I mean, that's not the official word.
I've always had so much respect for Southwest Airlines.
That's when Herb Kelleher was there, right?
I bet if he was still in, did he pass away?
I don't know.
He's the one who started it.
But I bet if he was still around, he wouldn't have been doing this shit.
I mean, I have so much respect for that airline because it's so like, you know, Texas and Dallas and.
Would you hear what Abbott just did?
He just he just said, you know, fuck off to Joe Biden.
We're not going to we're going to make it a law that says you're not allowed to fire somebody.
If you're not going to the Vex, if you have headquarters in Texas, you cannot mandate.
Yeah, but then Biden came back and mocked Abbott and said that federal law trumps state law.
Sorry. I mean, this is a mess, man.
I've got all these people, but it doesn't do an executive orders like, but it doesn't fuck.
Joe Biden, he is he fucking King?
He thinks he is to make an executive order to tell tell 300 million people that they have to go get a fucking vaccine.
Are you kidding me? All his subjects.
He's not fucking King.
And why is there not legislation that's gone through Congress to mandate a vaccine?
How does he have the power to tell hundreds of millions of people what they have to do?
He doesn't. But unfortunately, it's like the power of suggestion.
He said it. So all these CEOs of these companies are like, I don't this takes me off of the.
I don't disagree. I don't disagree.
But he is pursuing this with OSHA. Correct.
And OSHA is putting together the work safety guidelines that includes getting a vaccine.
Right. Otherwise, you're in you're in violation of OSHA OSHA guidelines,
just like he's using the CDC to go after gun control.
So here's here's a here's calling that a health crisis.
So here's a question. What's a health crisis?
Yes. What is gun control?
Oh, you said that gun violence.
So here's a question.
Even though there's been six hundred and forty seven people killed by guns in the last year.
Right. So so currently the drug companies are exempt from any lawsuits.
Right. Yeah. And the assumption is you could take it or you don't take it.
You assume the rest. If you don't, you don't have to take it.
But you can still a gun company.
No, what I'm getting at is now let's say my company comes to me and says you have to take this.
Can I sue my company? No. If I why not?
Well, I mean, I'm going to assume no. Why not?
I think you should be able to. Yes.
So you're telling me I have to take this. Right.
And then I have to take this. Right.
And if I take it and I get sick, get sick, I want to hold you responsible.
Or my family is going to hold you responsible because you made me take this.
Now, if there was a choice, you could have quit.
Well, if they're just well, I mean, I know right now is a little different because the guidelines haven't hit yet.
But when when they do, they'll just say, well, we we had no choice but to, you know, follow the mandate of OSHA.
Well, then why not hold OSHA responsible? Can we sue?
Can we sue OSHA? That's a municipality, isn't it?
I don't know. It's a government agency, a government agency.
I don't think you can sue the government. You can't.
Well, OK. Well, then people need to sue OSHA.
I think Texas has sued the government 38 times this year so far.
Well, I mean, talk about individuals, not the state of Texas.
Well, I don't know. I don't know either. I don't know either.
So that's the thing, you know, if if there's a medicine out there, I don't want to take because there's side effects.
That's on me. I'll live with whatever.
Either I could take it and possibly have side effects or not take it with whatever happens. Right.
But if you're telling me I have to take this medicine,
there's known side effects and I have those side effects, you can't do anything about it.
It's it's it's insane. Yeah.
I mean, it's totally you have to you have to take some responsibility.
If you're telling me I have to take this, what responsibility do you have if something goes wrong?
Right. There we go.
Will employees be able to sue over OSHA violations?
Unions representing hundreds of thousands of nurses, health care workers filed a lawsuit
against the Occupational Safety and Health Administration on Thursday,
alleging that the agency is violating its duties to keep workers safe by failing to issue
infectious disease standard to protect health care workers.
Oh, wow. So this is the opposite. These are people.
These are people suing OSHA because they haven't mandated that everybody take a vaccine.
That is 2020. Right.
That's 2020. So that's not the opposite. This is people saying.
But the fact is, is that you you can sue OSHA.
Oh, OK. Well, so that's that's that's that's why I bring that up.
So, you know, if so, if OSHA is mandating it,
they'll say, well, you know, what's the federal law?
So is it a law? No, it's not a law.
That's what I'm saying. Congress.
So it hasn't been passed by Congress. So OSHA can't push it.
And furthermore. I don't know.
I don't know. That's true. Here's what I think.
I should that should happen.
If they have an actual vaccine that that is authorized.
Then and only then should this even be considered.
Right. I mean, not experimental.
Correct. Not the experimental emergency version.
It would have to be an actual vaccine.
Everything back to that.
We are we are making the entire country get vaccinated on something that's experimental.
I mean, insane. Absolutely insane. Hello.
I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do either.
I mean, and what and what's nuts about it is it's all based on a lie.
Unvaccinated people pose no more threat to anybody else than a vaccinated person.
They can't answer that question.
I mean, but but that's what I keep coming back to.
I was like, I mean, they are totally, you know,
what is what's the word villainizing?
I mean, they're making unvaccinated people to be complete villains.
Right. They're shaming us.
Yeah. I mean, and and the facts don't don't prove it out.
Vaccinated people are just as infectious, right, as unvaccinated people.
Vaccinated people are just as much at risk to to cause a workplace danger
as an unvaccinated person.
So why are we on the entire office could be vaccinated?
And you could still have a an outbreak outbreak.
Hundred percent. Now, now those people in theory
will have less of an impact in the response to the to the to the virus
because vaccinated people have less of you know, it's not a hard response.
You know what I mean? They get over it quicker.
Just like you. You've had COVID. You could get it again.
I could get it again. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Theoretically, it wouldn't be as strong.
Right. I would imagine, right.
You do have some antibodies.
Yeah, I would think so. But I mean, you could still get it again.
Yes. I mean, that's the part that I really it really bothers me
that it's all based on a lie. All of this crap, this craziness
that we're forcing the country to go through and all these fighting
and companies and employees and people quitting and losing their jobs.
And all of this is built on a lie.
Yeah. That unvaccinated people are a bigger risk than vaccinated people.
They're not. Yeah.
One of the other things that I've been watching is
the whole airline, the pilots, a lot of them are they have until December
seventh or something like that. Right. To do this.
And they expect what?
Twenty five, 10 percent, 25 percent or whatever to quit, to quit.
If that is and what that's going to do is that's going to completely
cause chaos for the holiday travel chaos.
It caused complete chaos.
I mean, it's already causing chaos in the hospitals.
Yeah. Yeah. But a bunch of nurses have lost their jobs and quit.
You know, they had to had to go got fired, got fired.
Maybe that's what they want.
Maybe the shadow government wants us to break down
and to put this in some sort of police order.
I don't know. I don't know either.
It's one more step for communism.
Yeah, I just don't understand how hospitals are can can absorb that.
I mean, they're already struggling. I know.
Well, they're calling in the National Guard
and into the hospital.
Yeah, the National Guard is the medics for the National Guard are now nurses.
Some of the some of the states are doing that.
This is a self-inflicted when they complain about we just don't have enough nurses.
Well, you fucking cause that by forcing a vaccine.
Right. What's going to happen is it's probably going to be very lucrative
to become a nurse. Oh, they're already doing retention bonuses,
signing bonuses, to be very lucrative to be a be a nurse.
It's almost like do I need to go become an RM because the there's going to be
so much demand for a nurse.
No, granted, you have to get the vaccine, but you get paid extremely well.
Yeah, you're going to have signing bonus retention bonus
and I think a very healthy salary is just we live in a weird world right now.
Be a good like I said, if you don't if you get the vaccine anyway,
be come an RM. I mean, well, and we high demand.
We think about let's go let's go into the future six, six months, eight,
eight, ten, ten months and and all the other companies are doing it.
My company, your company and now a bunch of people are unemployed
because they don't want to take the vaccine. Right.
I mean, there's going to be jobs. I mean, they're already struggling to hire.
Yeah, like I mean, so and so what then?
I mean, yeah, well airline pilots, right airline anybody.
I just lost 10 percent of my pilots. I need to go hire another thousand pilots.
Right. Or whatever that number is. Right. Right.
So I don't know. I just don't understand this.
I mean, I don't know how I don't know how our workforce can absorb this.
If every single company starts firing everybody because according to.
Well, I mean, considering the volume of folks we have coming up north,
we'll be able to to rehabilitate.
Well, those are not skilled employees, though.
Those are not right there.
But there there may be a few diamonds in the rough, you know,
maybe they'll throw them all into simulators and they have six weeks
to start flying airplanes.
Well, just pretend they're going to be a radical terrorist.
That's what they did to jump on board to fly those planes,
to crash them into the towers.
Except this time they'll let them in the door.
I mean, they're like just like give them a badge and a uniform and put them in there.
I saw another interview with the sheriff of L.A. County.
And he was a Democrat because sheriff's elected official.
Yes. And he was a Democrat and he was on Tucker as well.
And he was he's he decided he's going to go against the mandate rule.
He's like, I can't afford to lose 10 to 15 percent of my workforce.
There we go. Why are not more people standing up and saying, F you, we're not doing that.
He's like he's like, I believe in the in the vaccine 100 percent.
He goes, but who is it for me if my coworker believes he shouldn't take it?
Why is my belief Trump his belief? Right.
And he's like, and I can't afford to lose 10 to 15 percent.
He goes, you think the homeless and the violence is bad now.
Wait till 10 to 15 percent of my police force is gone.
Right. And they and they literally can't patrol and they can't they can't get things under control.
When you call 9-1, you expect a response.
He goes, you won't get a response. It's incredible.
And people don't think these things through when they do things like this.
Well, they think that they're going to strong arm, you know,
98 percent of Americans indicating the vaccine and then they get what they want.
But Americans don't bend like that.
So my question is, once we're at 98 percent, what's next?
What's that 90 percent?
Let's say we're let's say we're we eventually, you know, everyone's like, all right, I got the vaccine.
Yeah, they won. They won.
Now what? Boosters every seven months.
Now what? Well, those are probably those forever.
But that has not been approved yet, I believe.
Well, I mean, I don't understand why they just don't admin just to say, hey, man, look, we've got enough flu shot.
All right. So we've got some shit going on and just give everyone the option.
I mean, the flu shots are doing great.
I mean, they really are. A lot of people get them.
I get the flu shot. I'm going to get one this year.
So never again.
Yeah, I don't I don't have to get either for the same reasons.
But but I'm just saying if they would stop with the shenanigans and stop forcing it down people's throat, just say, hey, man, look, if you want the shot, here it is.
If you don't want it, suck it.
You know, that's what I always said. It should have been just another flu shot.
And I guarantee you, they probably would have had the same amount of people would have got the shot as you know.
And then it's just to me, it makes sense.
If when you force it down people's throats and they don't want to do it, man, dude, it's just not you know, it's just not healthy.
And given that the whole thing, the whole basis of all that is based on a lie, it makes me the only thing I can think of is conspiracy theory.
You know that they're in cahoots with the with the pharmaceuticals, big pharma, or they made a promise to the pharmaceuticals that you will make.
You know, thirty trillion dollars and you know, and they made they basically signed a contract that said that they would mandate vaccines.
Oh, that's the only way that will will bust, you know, kill ourselves making this vaccine is if you you know, you you have to promise that you'll mandate it.
You know what I mean? Yeah, that's the only thing I can think of because it's based on a lie.
Yeah, I don't know. I don't get it. I don't get it either.
You know what I don't get? Interesting factoid.
I smell a left turn coming here.
Ninety five percent of the bourbon comes from Kentucky.
Yeah, right. But it doesn't have to.
Well, look at your doesn't have to be bourbon creation is linked to Louisville.
But most of it comes from Kentucky.
Unlike other distinctly geographic bound products, though, such as champagne, which comes from champagne France.
Champagne. You can't call champagne unless it comes from Champagne.
I'm sorry. What was that? That was French.
I don't think it was. Duolingo.
Well, bourbon, duolingo. Champagne has to come from Champagne France.
It has to actually come from the city.
So bourbon can come from anywhere in the United States, but only the United States. Only the US.
I didn't know that. I didn't know that.
Garrison Brothers is a bourbon.
I still didn't know that, though.
So today there are bourbon stores all over the United States, including California.
Oregon Spirits.
Oh, that's a dead giveaway.
Jack Daniels. Tennessee.
Tennessee.
So here's an interesting factoid. Here's an interesting factoid.
I guess. Bourbon. The word bourbon.
Do you know where that came from?
Bourbon. Bourbon. Someone's last name in it.
Well, it's actually I believe it's a region.
So when the you know what cognac is.
So in French, they make cognac in like the bourbon region.
I don't know what it's called. Maybe it's a county or something.
But it was bourbon. Maybe it was the last name.
But they came to Kentucky
and they started building some of the first distilleries.
In Bourbon County. Or wherever.
Oh, there it is. Bourbon County. Bourbon County.
In Kentucky and Bourbon Street.
Despite its roots in American history, Bourbon's name is entirely French.
The House of Bourbon was extremely powerful in Europe
and placed several French kings from 1500s to the 1800s.
We should clarify, though, that Bourbon,
the Bourbon dynasty probably had little to do with Bourbon's creation.
Instead, according to Bourbon expert Michael Veach,
it's more likely that the two industry entrepreneurs
stole the name for marketing purposes.
But basically, there's a like the terror, the Tarascon brothers.
Sure. Whatever.
They're the ones that traveled from cognac
France to Louisville in the 1800s.
And there was they formed the first bourbon distillery.
And why Louisville?
Yeah, because you couldn't like fly straight to it back in the day.
So you had to go by boat. Right off the Ohio.
Like from New York.
Was it off the Ohio? Probably.
Yeah, it's around the Ohio. So they must have like.
Well, they sell their whiskey down the river down to New Orleans.
There you go. There you go. That's why.
Yeah, there you go.
So regardless of that, so, you know,
we also know that they decided to age their whiskey
and charge barrels to mimic the French cognac's flavor.
By the way.
So that's just an interesting little tidbit there.
So it says here, this is Wikipedia.
So take it for what it's worth. Right.
So as of 2018, distilleries derived three point six billion in revenue.
I don't think it would be more than that.
As much bourbon people buy, at least I would think three point six billion is light.
That's a lot of money, but it's a lot of losers.
You know what that puts that puts three point five trillion in perspective.
How much bourbon could you buy for that?
All of it.
Good.
Three point six billion is nothing compared to three point five trillion.
Yeah. What is that?
That's three thirty six hundred.
Is it thirty six hundred billions?
Something like that. Sure. Yeah.
I thought you were a mathologist.
Where does that go? Sure.
I'm a math. I'm a math. It's thirty six to the tenth power.
I'm a math fleet. Only when Star Wars is involved.
God, you really don't know this.
What percentage is three and a half billion to three point five trillion?
Or just how many how many billions are there in a trillion?
Is it a thousand? I think it's a thousand.
All right. Here's another fun fact from the bourbon distilleries.
Four trillion. So there are thirty six hundred bourbon distilleries made penicillin during World War II.
Did you know that? Ten World War II revenues.
Bullets were scary. What did you say?
I was like another fun fact from Bourbon.
You guys just like babbling about.
We're math leading. Math leading.
I know you're fucking just whip your dicks out.
Get it over with. Bourbon distilleries made penicillin during World War II.
See? Yes.
I'm so passionate during World War II.
Bullets and bombs were scary, but wound infection was a legitimate concern as well.
Though Sir Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin some 15 years before World War II broke out.
The antibiotic was in short supply.
So bourbon distilleries converted to make penicillin on a large scale, saving countless numbers of wounded soldiers.
So you know what the trivia is going to be now?
What's that? In twenty twenty all the distilleries made hand sanitizer.
Yes. Vodka makers.
Yeah. Big bottles.
They made hand sanitizer. They converted and made it hand.
That's where all the textile companies made masks.
Yes. Anyway, no, you're right though.
It's kind of stupid. It's stupid.
I just I just thought about the you know, the mad rush to get masks and it was such a big deal.
And everyone was reaching deep to find to get I mean everything cleared off.
It was like 30 bucks.
And you got like exactly shit.
So I mean when they first came out there was like someone somebody in our company was called.
I've got someone down in South Texas.
I can make some masks and they someone start whipping out these masks from their fucking.
The wife was like with the sewing machine.
It's all kind of fucked up fabric.
It's like some UPS brown and some McDonald's yellow on the backside.
And you fucking look like the Hamburglar fucking walking down the street with these masks on.
But all kinds of weird colors and they're like 10 bucks a pop.
I get the fuck out of here.
You know, we did the we did the cut up the t-shirt and roll them up or fold them up and then use rubber bands over our ears.
We did that really in the very beginning.
Yeah, and I looked cool though.
I would have totally made fun of you.
I know I looked amazing.
That's probably why a lot of people complimented me.
Yeah, that's how you get actually at Kroger.
That's how you get COVID.
Probably I got it from an old t-shirt old t-shirt.
It had been around for decades.
You had the armpit under your nose.
Yeah, it's crazy though, you know that the the back then where the the hand sanitizer was so expensive the mass were ridiculous.
You go to Home Depot.
You could find it.
So you'd find it at Home Depot for 25 30 bucks a box.
Yeah, then you go to Bucky's and it's like 250 a box.
Remember those two nickel.
It's a nickel.
You remember there's two brothers in like 10.
So it's like one layer.
Remember they bought like eight thousand dollars worth of they cleaned out all the hand hand sanitizer immediately when it hit
and then they tried to sell it back and gouge and they arrested him.
Oh really?
Oh, yeah, I recall that say it again.
There was some brothers.
They bought like the shitload of materials cleaned out all the shelves of I'm sure a number of places and and went online and we're selling them at like crazy rates
and they got busted and and you know caught for gouging you can't gouge in the terms of emergency.
Yeah, I guess stations cannot right.
There you go.
Yeah, well during normal times you can gouge but during emergency times you cannot gouge right.
Well market prices market price.
If you want to try to sell 10 bucks a gallon you could try no one will come to your station.
Right.
But you know when people are forced and you're the only station around that has gas you can't gouge them.
I've got another fun fact.
I'm going to try to throw some some some cool things.
I mean, so this is Thomas Jefferson helped make this happen.
So what it is remember Thomas Jefferson for a lot of things like draft and the Declaration of Independence.
He's racist acting as the third wave president in the United States.
But that's what people think now Thomas Jefferson.
I hate him.
He didn't like he didn't drink bourbon.
He didn't like it at all.
But however, he did help make Kentucky bourbon what it is today because he in the 1780s.
He gave 60 acres because we had a lot of relationships with France.
Yes.
And I mean they were an allies.
He gave 60 acres of Kentucky land to farmers telling them to grow native crops.
So he he called one of the areas of the regions called the Bourbon County and that was based on that.
Those were the folks that were from that made the cognacs.
So it's just a correlation between cognac.
And so I mean really I mean if you think of the lineage of it, it's interesting.
You ever had cognac?
Oh, yeah.
I don't know if I have.
I have cognac is just like bourbon.
Just like it.
Well, yeah, it's got a more report taste to it.
It's got a little more fruit in it.
Shall we get a cognac?
No.
What?
No, we have to get large sniffters.
We're not French.
You forget the G to do.
Oh, I know.
We're not trying cognac.
See you.
We're drinking American and we see because we're American.
Oh, we have scotch.
We have Irish whiskey.
Yeah.
So cognac is basically it's a brandy is all it is.
We don't drink brandy.
What's wrong with you guys?
When you become sissies cognac?
Yeah, but look, they have cool bottles and shoes.
Whoa, and shoes.
What is that?
That?
Ennessy, flan cognac top.
Oh, they have cognac tops too for 98 bucks.
Nice.
Wow.
It's basically a wife beater for women.
Yeah, it is.
What is that?
The cognac gun.
That's a decanter.
Canter.
Oh, it's like a nine millimeter.
Okay, we're derailing.
All right.
Well, the brandy.
What is brandy?
I mean, what is how do you think brandy?
Because really, yeah, grape.
So all right.
We're all buying some cognac next time.
Oh, good Lord.
Like I said, it's more of a it's got more of a fruit
flavor to it.
It's kind of like a strong.
Yeah.
You know, what is the fruit for a fruit?
It's it's their fruit cakes.
They're around 80 proof.
They're not as strong.
They don't typically have a very strong cognac cognac.
Yeah.
So cognacs are run about 80 proof.
So go ahead guys.
Go buy your 60 is 75.
I see a cognac.
Yeah, Colossia.
There are certain types of people that they'll go to the bar.
They'll be like, I just want some kvassia and Coke.
And in retrospect, now I'm thinking or Martell and Coke.
You know, I think it did.
You're an idiot.
You know, because I think all this stuff is really good.
You know, and now I'm like, totally is not good.
Fuck that stuff.
They need to be drinking with Coke.
But it was so pompous for the same.
I want cognac and Coke.
And I was like, get the fuck would you just order a bourbon
and Coke?
We want a cognac and Coke for why?
It made no sense to me.
It does now, though, right?
No, it still doesn't.
So you do not like cognac?
No, I think I don't know if I've ever had it.
Cognac is good.
It's not bad.
I mean, cognac is one of those things
that it's kind of like it's a very strong, strong wine.
So those people that grew up in wine country,
it's kind of like you have your wines,
and you have your cognacs.
Because cognac is kind of like a derivative from wine.
It goes beyond a port.
So it's not barley and malt and corn and shit like that?
It's grape?
There's a
It's grapes?
Let me see here.
Strong.
So cognac is a type of brandy.
And after the distillation and during the aging process,
let me see.
So twice distilling grape produced
in any of the designated growing regions.
So the grapes, the white wine.
So they use white wine in making cognac.
So it's kind of like sake, so to speak.
Because sake is kind of like a rice wine.
It's a rice wine.
They convert through a process.
And I guess it's also how they make potato vodka.
It's also a process.
I mean, we could distill just about anything, can't you?
Any kind of grain or fruit?
Yeah.
He's it's so weird.
Fruit.
He's sound like the fucking the tiger on it's great.
Yeah, this is painful.
Also, he's getting us this next time.
Yeah, I'm not getting cognac.
I think we need to get one bottle.
No.
Just for the experience.
I disagree, there's like a million whiskies
we haven't gotten to yet.
Yeah, it's true.
So what do you think is the hardest bourbon to find
out there?
Hardest to find?
Yeah.
Like a brand?
The best bourbon is usually the hardest to find.
Yeah, I disagree, but.
Well, go ahead.
There's a series, a serious cult following
around a Pappy Van Winkle.
Correct.
Yes.
Considered to be the best bourbon you can buy.
Except you can't buy it very often.
Pappy Van Winkle is almost impossible to find.
It typically requires years on a waiting list
or a very deep wallet.
Luckily, Buffalo Trace Whiskey began distilling
Pappy Van Winkle in early 2000s.
They also distilled a bourbon called LW, Weller, Wellers.
Yeah, Wellers, we have Weller.
Wellers.
A few realize this, but it's true.
12-year Wellers.
I'm gonna go get some.
Use the same recipe as Pappy.
It is, it's just aged in a different spot.
It's the exact same mash bill.
Well, there's 10 years and 12 years.
Yeah, that's the exact same mash bill.
I'm gonna go get some Wellers.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
Wow.
No.
We've never done this before.
Turn a corner.
You can't just leave the podcast and go get Wellers.
We've got two and a half, three minutes left.
Yeah, what's happening?
We have another bourbon we already chose.
What is happening?
We've lost control.
He just left podcast.
Go get the Wellers.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Oh yeah, no, no, no.
Don't come back in here without Wellers.
Jesus.
It's a jackass.
He walks all the way out there
and then comes back empty-handed.
Yeah, he teases us and then says,
oh boy, they won't get it.
All right, so.
What's wrong with him?
Well, while he's out there fondling the Wellers bottle,
I'll do number 10.
There are more barrels of bourbon
than the people in Kentucky.
Hmm.
So Kentucky is home to 4.7 million barrels of bourbon.
It's only home to 4.7 million people.
So there's really more bourbon barrels
in Kentucky than people.
We don't have much left, so we have to be careful here.
You've got a tank here that's 3.5 million liters.
I don't understand what's happening.
So it's basically the same mash bill, right?
So this is basically the same mash bill
as Pappy Winkle's 10 year.
Except we're saving a ton of money.
Well, that is a rather dense pour.
Yeah, are we doing another bourbon after the intermission?
Yes.
Are we playing on throwing up during the next one?
I gotta work with the podcast.
I'm not saying we have to do.
Yes, we do.
This is what, this is 90 proof.
Oh yeah, that's nothing.
Oh yeah, that's only us.
That's nothing.
Yeah, go ahead and overflow it.
Rim it out.
Weller's is always good.
Yeah.
And honestly, I really like,
oh my gosh, you can taste everything.
I'm telling you, I think we're doing ourselves
a disservice by not opening up every single bottle
that we get as soon as we bring it home.
And leave it open for a while.
This is a half bottle.
This is a huge bottle.
It's three and a half liters.
Oh no, it's a liter and a half.
Three and a half liters?
I'm sorry, it's one and a half liters.
So it's 1.5 liters.
It's half full.
So you got all that room for it to,
Breathe.
Gas, to off gas, so to speak.
And all the flavors instantly come out.
I think it's great.
I think that's the way it should be done.
Yeah, and according to this, it's the original wheated.
Well, is Pappy Winkle a wheated?
Yeah.
It's the same, huh?
And there you go.
It's the same Asheville.
So it's 1.75 liters, not 1.5 liters.
Well, why would they have 750 milliliters for a bottle?
A smaller one, yeah.
And then 1.75 for the big one.
I'm sure it has something to do with how many bottles
you can get out of a barrel.
Probably.
That doesn't make sense.
Because the denomination is.
Well, how many times is 350 milliliters
going to 55 gallons?
Well, not mill, what?
Yep, that's a valid point.
Look up the milliliters to gallons.
Fucking gay.
Conversion.
No, they have 750 milliliter bottles.
Yes, they do.
That's a normal bottle.
That's what we all buy.
Yeah, it's a small bottle, this one.
Yeah, and then double that.
It's not double.
This is more than double.
I know, that's my point.
That's my point, it should be double.
No, it's 1.75.
Joseph.
So what's the size of a regular magnum?
Do 1.75 liters.
You get to 357.
Or 1750 milliliters, whatever.
1.75 liters should be a half gallon, 1.75.
So a magnum, so 1.5 liters is a magnum.
Basically a half gallon.
So that's not, so what is that again?
A half gallon, 1.75.
It's a half gallon?
Yes.
That's retarded.
Well, not quite a half gallon.
So it says 1.5 liters equals a magnum.
So a magnum is what you would say.
I'd like a magnum of wine or magnum of anything.
I want you to go to Total Wine and say that.
I'm looking for a magnum of Jack Daniels.
They have them.
They say that all the time.
Not of Jack Daniels.
No one says that.
Homeboy said magnum last week when we were there.
Of wine.
Well, he used the word magnum.
I don't give a fuck what he's talking about.
What are you talking about?
Magnum.
PI.
No one says the word magnum.
PI.
Well, I've heard magnum when used with wine.
You can buy a magnum.
That's the huge ass bottles of wine.
Each standard bottle contains five glasses of wine.
It isn't extravagant to suggest a bottle
for a table for dinner.
So this works out where the magnum is basically
double that.
So it's 10.
What does that say?
What does that mean?
A 1.5 liter magnum is equivalent to two standard 750 milliliter
bottles.
But that's not what this is.
This is not a magnum.
I agree with you.
Bigger than a magnum.
No, it's smaller.
It's bigger.
But why?
I don't know.
Because they wanted to be close to a half gallon.
I don't know.
I agree with you.
It has something to do with how many bottles you
can get out of a gallon.
Out of a barrel.
55 gallons.
Is it 55 gallons?
That's what I mean.
55 gallon barrels.
Isn't that what we saw up there?
55 gallon barrels.
I don't know.
The producer's going to have to tell us what a standard bourbon
barrel holds.
Is it 55 gallons?
Man, we're doing a lot of looking up,
because we don't know anything.
Standard bourbon barrel.
There we go.
Good.
It has 53 gallons.
OK.
All right, now go back to your conversion rate and look up.
1.75.
OK, so we know that's 0.46.
I guess we need to do 0.4623, 53 divided by that.
Wow.
That was aggressive.
53 gallons divided by 0.4623.
Let's do the math.
Our viewers want to know.
That will tell us how many.
Just tell me.
Read it to me.
Is your microphone not working, Mr. Producer?
Just tell me.
That's 119.
Exactly?
118.97, so yes, pretty much.
Producer, confirm that, please.
So you get 119 of these.
There you go.
That's why they did it.
Out of a barrel.
They're doing it to make it an even number.
Or not an even number.
You know, I wasn't even listening.
And here's the thing.
That's bullshit.
OK.
Because you never know what's going to be in the barrel.
Because you've got the devil's cut, the angel's share.
You know what?
That's a very good point.
You never know.
It makes no sense whatsoever.
There is evaporation.
Yeah, so it makes none.
Yeah, and he's absolutely right.
You don't know.
It's variable of what you're going to get out of a barrel.
Well, I think they can get close.
They could probably say, they could probably predict
how much they're going to get out.
That reminds me.
So at the Garrison Brothers, they
don't have 53 gallon barrels.
They have smaller barrels.
I don't know if you saw that.
You don't have to use the big barrels.
So they had smaller barrels.
And they were trying different things in terms of,
because you know, Texas, where they age in open air,
open air, totally different than Kentucky.
Right?
It's a lot hotter here.
Major differences in the variations.
And they said they opened up.
They were trying different things.
And they opened up a bunch of barrels.
They were all empty, completely empty.
They all evaporated.
And they were like, oh my god.
That was like a million dollar mistake.
Oh no.
Yes, that's what the guy at the dude at Garrison Brothers
was telling us about.
Anyway, so yeah, no, you're absolutely right, Sean.
Massive variance in, I guess, if the barrels were all
in the same climate, right?
And they know, is climate controlled maybe?
I mean, isn't it the more that, the more it evaporates,
wasn't the?
It's so hard.
The more thick it would be?
Are so difficult. Because you've got the thickness of what?
The barrels.
Well, the more it evaporates, does it get thicker
or more concentrated?
I don't think so.
Viscosity or?
Well, does it get more?
Or use that word again.
You like viscosity?
No, it doesn't get thick like syrup.
No.
So would it get stronger, though, flavor-wise?
Well, if you are.
Because stuff evaporates out of it, right?
Wouldn't the solids of it stay there?
Because more condensed.
OK, so you're thinking that it separates
and that water evaporates and something is left behind.
The bourbon itself evaporates, like in its entirety.
So everything.
Yes, in its entirety.
Yes.
You can't separate the water out of bourbon.
Now I'm a chemist.
Did you know I had so many talents?
You're a mathlete and a chemist.
I'm a mathlete.
I'm a geologist.
I'm a chemist.
On this podcast, I fucking know everything.
You're a foil.
I am the foil.
You're a jackass.
No, I'm the foil that holds this podcast together with you.
Do we have some music?
So we're almost done with this.
So we need to make sure we go find another tanker to this.
OK.
It's getting a little thin.
So I'll do one more.
I'll do a couple more of these things.
You guys know what mint juleps are?
Yes.
What are they?
That's the official drink of the Churchill Downs, right?
I was yawning, but I heard midget tulips.
Mint julep.
That's the official drink of the Churchill Downs.
Small people juleps.
Kentucky Derby.
The Kentucky Derby.
I said tulips.
Midget tulips.
So mint juleps were created to disguise bad bourbon.
Why did I know that?
Oh, like selling fraudulent stuff?
So what they did is they disguised lousy whiskeys.
Because up here somewhere.
Those are called mixers.
They have, let me see here, bourbon.
I'm going to do two in one.
So bourbon requires no minimum age.
They embedded Coke to go with those.
So there may be a minimum age to drink it,
but there's no set of number of years to age bourbon.
So technically speaking, as long as it
sits in a new oak barrel charred for even a millisecond,
it's legal to call it bourbon.
That said, anything.
Just like the Pabst Clear bourbon.
Yes.
They actually run it over oak.
Oh, come on.
That's all they do.
That's retarded.
They let it run over it.
So that said, anything aged for less than four years
requires an age statement on the label.
Unaged or the white dog bourbon sometimes sold to the distiller.
So then I jump over here back to the mint juleps.
It says some of these that, like you said,
just pour over the plank back in the day,
we weren't as great distilling.
In all the off flavors, we used mint and plenty of sugars
to disguise the bourbons.
Thus the mint julep was born.
Gross.
So I guess that's where Bottled and Bond came from.
People were bootlegging.
Consistency.
Yeah, they were coming up with, they
were lying about what was in it.
And so Bottled and Bond came along to verify that it
was good stuff.
That's the government.
They regulated it.
Correct.
Very nice.
And so that reminds me, when I was in Fredericksburg,
I went to, I guess there's a local distillery there.
It wasn't Garrison Brothers, but some other one
that mainly they make wine and they have vodka.
And they also had whiskey.
Not bourbon, but whiskey.
And so I, being the connoisseur or the
sommelier, sommelier.
That I am.
I went up there and I was like, yeah,
we'll have some of your bourbon.
And I'll have one neat.
And I'll have one with Coke for Shelly, right?
I knew she wouldn't drink it.
And so we both got it and sat down.
And I was like, ah.
Ah.
Oh.
It was nasty.
And my wife was like, ooh.
It was bad.
Really?
And I was like, OK, wow.
And I went back up there.
And I was like, oh yeah.
How long do you age your whiskey?
And he goes, well, we flash.
We flash what they call it.
Flash aging.
Flash age it.
Thank you.
We flash age it.
And I was like, oh no.
And I was like, please describe.
Well, we have a bag of charred chips that we dip it in the.
Like a tea bag?
Damn, yes.
I was like, get the fuck out.
That was when I texted you guys.
So they put a bag.
So they flash.
They flash age it by putting a bag of chips in it.
That's not aging it.
No, it's not aging it.
It's not aging it?
And it was very light.
That's what I was really worried about.
It's still called the bourbon.
I saw that.
Well, this one, I don't think it was a.
Was there any color to it?
There was some color, but not much.
Not much.
It's like a tea bag.
Yeah.
It was bad.
All right.
So.
It was not a good whiskey at all.
This is the worst whiskey I've ever had.
So not a good whiskey at all.
This is some disheartening information, which really
kind of pisses me off.
That the taxes account for more than half the bottle of bourbon.
There's a government for you.
60%, about 60% of the cost of any given bottle of bourbon
goes to the government.
On top of that.
Even today.
On top of that, bourbon producers in Kentucky
pay over 14 million in property taxes to store their barrels.
That is an incredible amount of taxes.
Yeah, it's sad.
So if you buy a 40.
Let's do easy math.
$100 bottle of bourbon.
That should be cost 40 bucks.
Is what the cost should be.
Yeah.
Plus taxes.
It's a little bit of tax.
Let's say $43.
Whatever.
Just say.
Just.
So they're getting $60.
We should be paying a third of the price.
I would just say we should be paying a third of the price-ish.
Like this bottle was $40.
Yeah.
$15.
$10.
Yeah.
Fucking government.
Yeah, it makes me sad.
Yes.
It hurts my heart that the government
takes that much money.
Jeff, have you had a tough day today?
Yeah, a day.
Well, no.
It's just work just beats you down every now and then.
I'm in that phase.
Yeah.
I have some reason.
I am too.
Tell you, I've never ever in my entire life
have racked up a queue of.
I think I talked about this before about the emails.
Yeah.
I have not been able to get that number down below 100
and mine usually sit about 10, 15.
That's insane.
Are they all different claims?
Dude, they're.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, no.
There's 100 unhandled claims?
No.
They're about 50 claims.
Shit.
So it's just like, and they're people that want something.
Right.
And they keep emailing you, which just makes it go,
yeah, one, 102.
Yeah.
And it stresses me out.
Every time I hear my phone ring, I'm just like, fuck.
Somebody else wants something.
And I'm going as fast as I can, man.
Fucking crazy.
Yeah, I don't have much of that.
I do have 15,000 unread emails, but it's
because I'm copied on a ton of shit.
And I can.
Why don't you select all and delete?
Well, I know I need to.
But I can preview them.
You know how you can preview them and then not mark them
as read?
That's all of them.
I'm previewing everything because I can't.
Yeah, if you just delete them, when you have 15,000,
it does so much to your.
When you open that up, it eats away your RAM.
I believe there's something like that.
That hasn't been a problem.
But I will tell you that it's just poor mailbox management.
Well, it's all cloud-based as well.
Yeah, it's cloud-based.
Cloud mailbox management.
We need that as a topic as far as mailbox management.
Dudes like us have a problem with that.
Let me just give you an example.
Let's say you're reading a bunch of emails,
and then every single time the window stays open.
So when you click on the outbox thing,
there's so many emails that are opened,
and that causes stress.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm like, god, I have so many
that I have to scroll down.
I'm talking about opened emails.
I'm not talking about in my inbox.
And that's just mismanagement.
And then you've got to sit there,
and you've got to close each one of them.
And you're like, did I do something on that one?
OK, close, close, you know, that kind of thing.
That just gives me anxiety.
That part gives me stress, the fact
that I don't manage my windows very well.
Break time.
Guys, thank you.
First half, I think we're going to come back a little loose.
Well, yeah, we did two bourbons and one podcast.
Well, this didn't count.
It was just a small part.
Oh, it doesn't count.
OK, never mind.
We can discard the physiological effects, too.
Kind of like my NFL scores this week against a 186 points.
I think that was a record of getting your ass beat.
I still scored 110.
All right, peace out.
We'll see you in a little bit.
Bye.
