it. Let me see. There's there's one. Why? There's there's two.
How many of these do we have for? We have four of these.
There's a whole bunch of them. Yeah, we have four.
I mean, and they're all good. Yeah, they are. Clyde Mays. I'm
digging this. Here, Jeff, you want to chat about that?
Me?
Why not? Welcome to the podcast, ladies and gentlemen. Here, dork.
What? I don't know. Welcome to Dudes Like Us. I'm Jeff. I'm
Shawn. Ah, damn it, man. You guys. We totally f'ed it up.
But yeah, we're we're enjoying our our fourth Clyde Mays.
We've there's a standard bourbon that we've gone through. We're
in our second bottle of that. And this one is the Clyde Mays,
the original Alabama style whiskey. Alabama style. I don't
even know what that means. What makes it? What makes it Alabama
style? I don't know. That was a hard fade. I don't know. But
it's it's 85 proof. Seems a little spicier than that to me,
at least that last one did. But I just I just had a worthers. So
not a strong not a strong whiskey. No, that's okay. It's
flavorful, though. Yeah, it's flavorful. It's actually really
good. And on my first first sip, I tasted a lot of tobacco. But
again, I still had a piece of worthers in my mouth. I think
that kind of kind of skewed things. You had you had Chow.
He had what in your mouth? Chow in your mouth? And worthers a
piece of candy was like, Oh, I thought it was Chow. No. No, I've
tried the I've never done the hardcore just stuffing leaves in
your mouth. Like I've never done that with the tobacco leaves.
I've never done any I've tried the little skull bandit things. I
got so sick. Spit it out. Like back when you were like, in high
school. Yeah, it's high school or maybe maybe a freshman or
sophomore in college. Second grade, second grade. Second
grade. That's when that's when they really hit the kids. And I
did it. And you know, you stick it down in there and it leeches
out and you spit it out and everything. So I got sick. And
I felt like she had underdone again. So I was like, I'm done. I
never did it. You ever see those, those videos once in a blue
moon of like some Asian child that looks like maybe three,
four or five smoking a cigarette? Oh, yeah. Well,
where that is? Overseas? Yeah, when I lived in Indonesia, it
was not uncommon to see children smoking cigarettes. That is not
uncommon. Everybody smoked cigarettes and they were clove,
clove cigarettes, which actually to me smell great. Yeah, they
don't smell horrible. No, they don't. I actually was. So it's
not tobacco? Or is it or is it clove? I think it's a it's a
mixture. Or is it tobacco leaves with clove mixed in with it? I
would guess that it's a mixture of it. It's got to be tobacco. I
mean, you don't you don't just smoke clove. I don't know. I
don't know either. I wonder if somebody could look at that
clove. Only if we had like somebody who could look up stuff.
That'd be cool. All right. clove cigarettes. No, what is a
great job? So it's ground up. Important facts and health risk
of clove cigarettes. All right, let's see what we got here. Also
known as critiques critiques. I hear they're like so much they're
like worse for you. Yeah, it's mistakenly thought to be a safe
smoking alternative to regular cigarettes. However, apparently
they are just as problematic as traditional. 60 to 80% tobacco
and then 20 to 40% ground clove buds and clove. Okay, so it's a
mix and it's produced in Indonesia. Who would have known
it? That's like everybody I lived there for five years.
Everybody and I mean everybody did you smoke like clove
cigarettes? Did you I did not I did not your family wasn't
impacted. Nobody in my family ever. You said I've never
smelled one does it smell like Thanksgiving or something like
that? Like it's a I actually all time I love the smell of it. I
don't make fun of you guys at a dinner restaurant in all the
other friends are making fun of Paul don't smoke a clove
cigarette. I don't remember them sounding like that. I don't know
what this I mean do they they make fun of you? No, of course
not. Like like like like who my peers? I'm in middle school.
As you're like a doggy as they're smoking J's. Okay, well
okay. The other seas. First off, you made it sound like that all
my friends were Indonesian. So I went to the I went to the
International segregated yourself. It was very vague. You
didn't want to mingle with the commoners did you or the locals?
Why would I I'm a privileged Westerner. Look at me. No, but
seriously, I went to a Jakarta International School and there
was 187 nationalities represented at that school.
Damn. And so I had I had a lot I had Australian friends. I want
you to name all of them. Okay. Thailand. How many more do I
have 186. So I mean, I had friends who are from the
Philippines, Australia, Europe, all sorts of countries in
Europe. It was it was awesome. And English was you know, the
language that everybody spoke at the course because it's best
because it is the best. So anyway, yeah, not not a lot of
Indonesian friends that smoke close cigarettes that made fun
of me that to answer your question. All right. So go back
to the Clyde maze. I want to see if they have the the mash
bill on there or some kind of explanation that what makes it
an Alabama style. Yeah, that's tough. This isn't saying too
much here is it? No, we may have to go to this one. It's aged
four years at oak barrels and finished with a hint of apple.
I guess there's apple added. Yeah, there you go. That what
makes it Alabama style, which by the way, they have a trademark
I picked it up apricot and apple. Let's close. They have a
trademark on Alabama style for whiskeys. So very interesting.
Well, I bet it's because of the apples. I bet they're
proprietary to the right. We're going to have to do that. Like
what is the Alabama style trademark? Well, if I could read
the bottle, there's a there's a lush coating of the mouth as
flavor kicks into action. A whole mouth. Paul, stop it. Can
you read that? I hear him over there. He he he he he he. Do you
know what he said? All right. So the appearance is a deep
glimmering bronze. The nose is a distinct rich caramel dried
orchard fruits and green apple. And the palate is warm medium
bodied spirit with accent of black pepper and the hints of
anise and toasted oak. A taste of black pepper. All right. So I
have an explanation here on the bottle. So you did the old man
trick. Yeah, I did. I had to take a picture of it and zoom
it. Yes. Clyde May lived outside the law. He was a moonshiner by
trade and craftsman by heart using a hand built copper
skill, fresh Alabama spring water and the finest local
grains he vowed to make the best darn whiskey Alabama ever
tasted. What is Alabama style whiskey? It's Clyde's proprietary
process that makes this four year old American whiskey
unusually smooth. It starts with a full nose of green apples and
peaches met with a creamy straight bourbon wood spice.
Yeah, I get that.
Creamy stop that smooths to a lingering finish of fresh orchard
fruits and spices. Raise a glass Jesus to a genuine icon. What
is that iconoclast? Where are you reading this and an American
hero off the bottle? John R. All right. Well, there you go.
All right. I think we all all enjoy it. I didn't enjoy that
first sip, but I do after I after I cleanse the palate. It
is a is quite tasty. Yeah. And even down to the anise. This one
was an easy one for me to to get the tastes. I don't know if
that's good or bad. I think you're you're refining you're
becoming whiskey sommelier. Producer, are you doing all right?
I don't know if you're laughing or dying.
Oh, that was sneeze.
I let it all out when I sneeze. I don't hold them then.
Daughter bought some apple cider from the store. The reduced
cost section. I took a drink about half a carafe before I
came here. Oh, that's gonna upset the stomach. It's gonna
upset the balance. Yeah, what a sour milk. What would you know
the apple cider? Oh, no, no. Yeah, you'll be you'll be
but fluent at here soon. No bueno amigo. I just put toilet
paper in there. So if you need it. Oh, that's great. Anywho,
so the it's fantastic. I like it. And you know what? I like
the whole Clyde Mays thing. I'm trying to I'm looking at the
different bottles. I know we have the straight biscuit
workmen bourbon. Do we have the right straight? We don't have
the right. We have the black label. We have the black label.
We have the cast with the 12. Yeah, we got that one. That
one's out there. We have that one. We have the hundred label
and the red label. Yep. Yeah, standard. That's good. That no,
this one's good, man. I really like it. Yeah. So we need to
get the right and then I think our collection will be complete
that they just he just has to five. That's all that was on
this. The site was a straight ride bourbon Alabama style
whiskey. Oh, shit. Hold on. Special Reserve. Are we making a
mistake by avoiding the rye whiskies? I mean, do do we know
for certain we know I think what we're doing is we're staying
in an area until we can figure something out. And I think we're
starting to turn a corner on on trying some I'm branching out to
like the rise because we tried one. I remember very early in
the process. We tried one and it was like I was like, I'm
not sure what it was like tart or something. And then we and
then we looked up the the the mash bill and it was like had a
bunch of rye. Not not crazy. Like not to the point where it
has to be defined as a rye. Why a rye whiskey. But we have I
thought that the right content made it. What is the balance on
a rye whiskey? I don't know. Well, no, it means it. It means
it instead. There's no wheat. Instead, there's no wheat.
There's only rye. Well, you have you have probably 51% corn. You
still have corn and barley. Well, actually, no, because it's
a rye. It's not a bourbon, right? So it could be 40% corn,
40% rye. No, no, you can have a rye bourbon. It just has to be
51% corn. I think a rise. Is that true? Can you have a rye
bourbon? You can have a high rye bourbon. But it's not as wheat
bourbons. And then there's rye. But when you when you see like
Glen Mase rye that I don't think that said bourbon on it. It's a
rye whiskey. Right? Yeah, that's exactly right. Okay, so which is
similar to bourbon whiskey, but must be distilled rye grain. Oh,
okay. So it doesn't have corn. Instead of corn, it has rye.
That's the difference.
But it can have corn in it. And it Yes, just like bourbon can
have rye in it. Correct. But rye is the the dominant ingredient.
Yeah, dominant grain. Okay, interesting.
Alright, so
well, I say we I say we venture into it. You know, I think we
should look at some Canadian whiskies as well. venture into
that zone. Yeah, we can do that. And I think we've tried Irish
whiskey as well. Yeah, we tried the red breast last last week.
Nothing wrong with that. It was good. So
nothing wrong with that with the with the the rye ratio. So
they've got it set sort of like the opposite of corn. So if it's
a rye whiskey, then it's got to be at least 51% rye, which means
that you could still fill the other half with 49% corn, or it
could be barely 25. We eat 25 corn, right? There we go. You
know, I mean, what is the mix?
Anything you want, right?
So to me, now it's starting to that's what makes each one of
these unique, right? Yeah.
So I think we venture, you know, maybe we try with the Clyde maize
right, or ask our ask our contents, what's a good entry
level rye, you know, we couldn't, there's no way we could
have jumped right into some of these bourbons we have today.
Right, you know, we're drinking the 80 proof stuff there. And
also, if we would have thrown out Noah's Mill, we'd be like,
wow, yeah, there's no way we had to allow our livers to build up
an outer coating. It did. That wouldn't burn a hole through our
livers. Yeah. Hey, did you guys watch any of that written house
stuff? And specifically, I want to touch about all of that. But I
heard something I was wondering, they're, well, they're playing
with the pixelations of videos to try to blot out certain
evidence. Did you hear anything about that? I did not hear
anything about that. I would not put that past that prosecutor
though. He's a douchebag, man. He was so desperate. I mean, he
totally crossed all sorts of lines in his desperation to to
hear the police officers when he was like, well, you know, no one
made you say this. It says no one asked you or no one made you
say this. You guys asked me to say this.
Oh, shit. Yeah, this was a witness for the prosecutor
of the police. One of the police guys. He was like, Yeah, you
told me to say that. Oh, how is that not a mistrial right there?
Yeah. Anyway, but you know, they're deliberating right now.
If they're split right now. That's what you heard. That's
what I just read. Please tell me that's not true. That's
ridiculous. Yeah, they're split right now. It's the most obvious
clear cut open shut case of self defense if I've ever seen one.
And the prosecution completely botched their case, not that
they even had one. And you're telling me they're split. Yeah,
that's what I can promise you is along racial lines. I can
promise you jury doesn't reach consensus. Unbelievable. They're
gonna be a hung jury. It's gonna be a hung jury. And then what
they do it again. Yep, they do it again. Yeah. But I can
promise you the judge is gonna be like, No, go back in there
and figure it out. That's what they do. And then they go at it
again. And then they fight and they cry and they scream at each
other in the jury room. And then they come out and say, Nope, we
didn't get there. And it's usually one person. You know,
right one person or two people, which is what happened in the
OJ case. Right? So they were about to convict him and one
person was like, No, he didn't do it. That's right. There because
he was an OJ fan or she was and snuck through the vetting
process. No, no, no, no, no, the opposite. They were going to
acquit him. And then one person said, No, no, no, he's a
murderer. Oh, really? That's the more likely scenario because
it's such an obvious case of self defense. It's OJ was no.
No, no, no, no. I'm talking about Wittenhouse. I'm sorry.
Oh, yes. No, no. You're right on the OJ thing. Yes, that's
correct. There was like two people. There were two women
that that said, you know, that he didn't do it. That's right.
You're absolutely right. Sorry. I miss that. Yeah. So this
this is a big deal. And you know, and they're already
mobilizing Wisconsin's mobilizing like 500 National
Guard and the Chicago police waived the day off for anybody.
Any cops that had the day off, you know, they waived it
because they're getting ready for massive unrest for what
should have been a very easy acquittal. They don't they don't
care about the evidence. They just they just want him guilty.
Yeah, because of what they've been spoon fed by MSNBC and CNN
and and they're calling him racist. But he's a white guy.
President Biden called him a three white guys. A white
supremist. Our president in the United States called him a
white supremist before any facts were known. But he's a
douchebag. But he shot three white guys. Yeah. How's that
racist? It isn't. And one of them was screaming the N word
during the protest. Yeah. And burning black businesses and a
child molester and a what was the other one? One was a
child convicted child molester. One's a domestic violence guy
in the Nutt House convicted for a psych strangulation. Yeah.
Great. These are really yeah. They're winning. Upstanding
people here anyway. Yeah. Invite those guys to our next
podcast. Yeah, they're dead. Well, two of them we can't. One
that's missing an arm or a part of a bicep. We can invite him.
Yeah, man. That was crazy seeing the slow motion on that
where I watched it. You see the video and there's all of a
sudden there's like a blur of white and it's just like a pink
mist. Yeah, it's like his it just vaporized. But this is the
guy that had a gun pointed to Wittenhouse's head. Yeah. Well
and admitted he had it pulled back like this and so they were
saying see there's some full of **** They're saying he had his
phone in his left hand and he had this gun in his right hand
and they said that no his gun was in the left hand and
because I guess he was holding it like well then they're
saying there are no left handed guns. Oh really I own one.
That was their argument. That's crazy. That's retarded. That's
completely retarded and you saw the footage of the the
prosecutor with the AR 15 holding it incorrectly aiming
it at the jury. Oh, I just never finger on the trigger.
I don't care if it's unloaded or not. I didn't we learn. Yeah.
I mean what happened? Oh crap. People unbelievable. Look at
him. First of all, he doesn't even have it on his shoulder.
It's up over his shoulder. I mean look at him. He's what a
fool. Oh, he he looks kind of cool there though. No, he
doesn't. He shot that. He looks like an idiot. That's good
stuff. I feel bad for the kid. You know, being so young
and having to go through, you know, it's it's like going to
war. I mean, imagine setting your kid off to war and he has
to kill two or three people. He's going to come back pretty
fucked up and I don't think people. I mean, he's going to
have post traumatic stress syndrome from this. Well, but I
thought Lebron James said that they were that they weren't
that he was making fun or like he was mocking. He was so
doesn't Lebron James knows that those aren't real tears,
right? Isn't he the authority on Lebron? Did you see the
meme of him wincing and crying when he had a cramp or when he
hurt his ankle? He says he's also guilty of the worst.
Yes. Yes. And he was crying when he was being carried off
the court, right? Yeah, there it is right there. He's showing
him Lebron's a piece of shit showing Lebron crying go up.
Oh, what a freaking douche bag. Oh man. Unbelievable. Yeah.
What a bud. But anyways, that's Lebron and he's racist. Yeah,
he is. I mean, that's that's just flat out. He does not like
white people and it's embarrassing. I mean, he said it.
Yep, I get it. He likes the Chinese. Anyway, so I actually
I don't know what's going to happen. So I really, really hope
that this jury doesn't get influenced by what would happen
if they don't convict. Well, didn't you say that they're
they've already figured out the names and they've taken pictures?
Well, they somebody was caught filming them. Yeah. And they
made them delete. I'm assuming they they confiscated the
camera and made them delete the pictures is what I is what I was.
So we think no one else has done this. I don't know. They just
caught the one. I know. And it's in there. They probably deleted off
the phone, but it was still in their cache in the cloud. Yeah.
Well, that too. I mean, if that kind of stuff happens, if the
jury if the jury is hounded by and harassed by people because
they acquit him, it's going to change the justice system in
this country to where people aren't going to want to do their
civic duty. Well, it's not going to be a public trial. No one's
going to be allowed in there. Yeah, that's what I think it's
going to be closed trials. That's what I think needs to
happen. But then, of course, they're going to claim, you know,
that it's jaded or planted. You know, I mean, they're already
dogging the judge. I would I wouldn't I wouldn't allow
cameras in there at all. They're making their the media is
making this. Oh, yeah. You know, I mean, they are inciting a
riot right now by putting all this on there saying there's
going to be a riot. Right. They're telling the people they
need to be. That's exactly right. They need to mobilize.
By the way, guys, the ball supporters of the Rittenhouse,
you know, all the supporters of Rittenhouse going to jail, you
know, we're going to get ready. We're going to riot. Right. If
this goes south, we're going to riot. That's what they're
doing. Yeah. If they don't come back with a conviction, you
know, I'm really worried about what's going to happen in all
these cities in America because this is obviously an
injustice. So I really think they should close the courtrooms.
I don't think they should be televised. I think that at the
end of the day, they should have some sort of hand drawn
caricatures to those things that they used to do, you know,
right before. Yeah, like you get at Six Flags. Yeah. Well,
just some of my point is that this kind of care is that big
head. They're giving this too much attention to surfboard.
Yeah. For what it is.
Yes, I agree. I don't need to. I don't. I haven't watched any
of this except what I've seen on the news. I saw some people
are just sitting there watching it all day. Did you hear that
YouTube took down the independent feeds during the
war during the trial? It wasn't fitting the narrative. So
there was a came on a portion where they were talking. I
can't remember exactly. It was a kind of a pivotal moment
where they were making a case about this or that. And YouTube
pulled the feeds from a very difficult time. Yes. And then
they and then about four, I think it was 40 minutes later.
They read they really re enabled them. Yeah. Total
censorship. That's bullshit. Yeah, total. Did you also hear
that YouTube is doing away with the thumbs up or thumbs down?
I didn't even know there was a yes. So when you're on YouTube,
you could say I like this video or I don't like this video.
Well, the White House and they say it's hurtful that no, the
White House, everyone's down voting all the videos they put
out. So they're trying to say, well, we're trying to help the
small. Oh, my God. Show they're protecting the White House.
Yes, that's the theory. So that is the dislikes. YouTube's
getting rid of it because they're saying that, you know, it
hurts the smaller product. Really? But in reality, if you
look at all the White House stuff, it's like thousands of
down votes versus just a few hundred up votes. Unbelievable.
Well, just one thing at a time. Yep. Crazy. Let's go Brandon.
Well, I don't even know, man, even if Brandon gets out, you
know, it's going to carry on. I mean, Facebook has changed to
Metta. I mean, this whole this whole thing is getting out of
hand. I know I'm I bring and welcome new technology. I'm
just I'm just a little nervous that it's getting too addictive.
You know, when you sit there and stare at TikTok for, you know,
20 minutes, 30 minutes and you're kind of like four and a
half hours. You can't get off. I know. I've been warning you
guys. You know, you just you sit there and just keep popping
them. The only the only TikToks I get are the ones you guys send
me and it's usually horrifying. Shut up. You feel one. You
should be thankful. We're saving you hours of your life.
Yes. I was like, why? You don't remember my response. Jeff,
with the love of God, why? It wasn't real. The lady that had
the prosthetic hips that was showing the the way how to
stretch your hips, how the woman gives birth. They actually had
like the little hip and how it opens up. Yeah, I saw that. And
they had a little baby in there. A little baby like it was
going to launch. That was disturbing. Yeah, I just don't
understand. I don't know. I didn't get it either. But I felt
that. Thank you. That's why you sent it. I did. I was like, I
had to see that. So you guys have to see. We need to revisit
that rule. If something scarred you, it doesn't matter. It
doesn't mean you have to scar others to make it right. This
tastes horrible. Here, try something. Try this. It tastes
like shit. Asshole. It doesn't make any sense. Yeah. So I'm
trying to not look at it as much as I used to. And I don't. I
do when I take the dog out so she can do her business outside.
I'll sit down and I'll flip through a couple. That's usually
when you guys get them. But I don't look at it throughout the
day. Yeah, well, that's good because it can be totally all
consuming. I can imagine. Well, because it's they're quick.
They're super quick and they're so diverse. Like you don't know
what it's like. It's like rolling the dice. It's like
gambling. It is like you don't know what you're going to get
next. It's like super exciting. What could happen unless you
like all the boobies boobies. Why are you looking at me? Tell
us about that, Sean. Well, if you go to my mind, then, you
know, some boobies pop up. I can't help it. They're random.
But it doesn't show them. They're just like they're in
tight little skimpy outfits and they just, you know, they do
these little dances. They weren't. She's doing thongs and
prance around. Some are kind of funny. Some are kind of nasty.
I usually like to leave comments like, you know, anytime
a girl has those long fingernails, always put on
there. Still poopy. Yeah, I know you brought that up before.
I do it all the time. I do it so often that on my clipboard, I
just hold it down and just click copy and paste it. Still poopy.
Bam. It's the first one. So it's like, bam. Do people
comment on it? Yeah, some laugh. I get it. Yeah. Some people
do because it's funny. You think about it. You're like, it's
probably true. Yeah, that's nasty. Gross. Okay. All right.
Anyway, yo, tick tock bad. Got it. Well, no, the addiction,
not just the tick tock, but the addiction. I mean, going
towards what you know, you did you mention during the
podcast Facebook was changing to Facebook's changing to the
name to Metta? Yeah, we did. Well, you brought it up. I
mentioned it beforehand, but Sean brought it up. I mean, I
didn't know if we had talked about it during the podcast. I
know we talked about it earlier, but they're wanting to
take like the the oculars, the the VRs and whether they're
through some glasses. And that's what Metta is based on
what I've understood that you're going to be able to sit in
in rooms. Well, basically where you exist in a virtual
world. Yeah, watch the little video there. It's called
Metaverse. Metaverse. The Metaverse will be social. 3D
spaces in the Metaverse will let you socialize, learn,
collaborate and play in ways to go beyond what we can imagine.
Listen to Mark Zuckerberg share the vision for bringing the
Metaverse to life together. I can't wait. Come on, Mark.
Bring it, bitch. This is an hour. Well, we need the cliff.
Yeah, we can't do it now. Well, hold on. Let's hear the intro.
Let's see what it says. Is that some sound good music? Oh,
great. Oh, look at Mark. Hey, and welcome to Connect. Hey,
thanks Mark. Today, we're going to talk about the Metaverse. What size bowl do you use to cut your
hair? I want to share what we imagine is possible. It looks like experiences you'll have.
The creative economy will all build and the technology that needs to be invented.
This guy's my hero. As well as how we're going to all do this together.
The basic story of technology in our lifetimes. That dude's rich as shit. He doesn't give a fuck what we
sold. I know. He's like, you know what? I'm shitty. He says, I look like
Herman Munster's child and I don't give a shit.
Right. I've completely lost interest in listening to this guy.
Yeah, he could turn himself. I have no interest in this. Is he married? That fool.
Yes, he is married. Does he have any kids? I believe so.
That is so interesting. Yeah. Well. What, that he's married? Yeah. I mean, how that dynamic works. I
mean, when you're that wealthy. I mean, even like Eon Musk. I mean, he's not married. He's not married.
Well, he was married, right? I don't know if he ever was. Did he break up with the woman
that he had a child with? Yes. They were never married, though. And it was some weird name.
Yeah. Like Waka or something like that. Waka. Yeah. Yeah. I think that was it. I wonder. I mean,
he's got to have a girl, some girlfriends or something. Oh, I'm sure he does. He can get any
girlfriend he wants. He's he's worth what? Three hundred billion dollars now. There. That's the one.
There's the. Is that his daughter? No, that's his girlfriend. That he had a baby. Grimes. Dude,
she looks well, he actually looks young there, too, though. She's kind of goth looking. Well,
anyways, I just kind of wonder how they're I mean, he from what I understand, he isn't
Elon Musk like the richest guy on the planet right now? He is. He is. His net worth. I mean,
a lot of us in stock is three hundred billion dollars. Yeah. It's ridiculous. Wow. He's going
to be the first trillionaire. Look at that. That means he can like go to Europe any time he wants.
Yes. Yeah, he could. Yeah, he pretty much do whatever he wants. I wonder if he's been vaccinated.
He could fly to space. How much vacation do you think he gets a year?
I don't think I have a vacation. He probably doesn't. Maybe three weeks.
Probably whenever he wants it. I thought it doesn't take much. I thought it was
fantastic when he was on the Joe Rogan show and little little little spleef.
Spoken that blunt, yeah, dude. I mean, look at Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan is going to be the coolest
MSer on the world. That was in California. They're allowed to do that there? Yeah, I guess.
Yeah. So Joe Rogan, he was probably that's probably one of the coolest things I've seen on
on the Joe Rogan show. Why? Because they're smoking joints? Well, he smokes joints on the show
so frequently. But Joe Rogan does? Yeah, but with Elon Musk is what I'm saying. I mean,
what a what a planetary icon and to have him do something like that just says a lot.
Yeah, he took a lot of heat. I know Joe Rogan took no no. Yeah, Joe Rogan is ripped. A lot of a lot
of heat for coming on his show. Douche. But you know what? He he's pretty outspoken. Joe Rogan?
No, Elon Musk. I mean, he's been saying, you know, not to not to Californianize Texas and all that
kind of stuff. Well, he needs to play a big part in that. Yeah, he moved here. I guess he's in the
process of moving here to Texas. Tesla's moving down to Austin, which is like a little California.
Yeah. Oh, my God. They had a you realize Austin defunded the police? Yeah, they defunded the police
millions and millions of dollars that went through. Are they having issues now?
Murder went up 200 percent. God. Yeah, that is crazy. Right. 220 percent of something like that.
So one of the other things that Austin I don't know what the outcome was, was the
where they allowed the homeless to basically camp anywhere. Yeah, they did. That was a meltdown. Did
they overturn that? I believe so. Did they? Because I don't I didn't see anything about that. Yeah.
Yeah, they could. They were able to right in front of your house for the sidewalk, pitch a tent
and live there right in front of your house. I mean, that was the same problem in shit on your lawn
in California. There are the people that work for Google could not afford to live in California.
So they all stayed in RVs and and and trucks. They slept in their cars and then just lining
all the streets around the Google campus. That's terrible. Terrible. Hold on. You're saying that
the employees of Google lived in their vehicle outside of Google. Yeah. Silicon Valley is so
expensive to live. It's the most expensive place to live. Just about. Yeah, there was this one couple
that lived in a staying in a camper on the street, you know, and he was working at Google. That's good.
I mean, if you're young and you're adventurous and we started here, you probably save a ton of
money, you know, probably make it to three hundred thousand dollars a year and still can't afford to
buy a house. Well, they could save it and then, you know, work for three or four years and move
to Texas. You could buy a mansion. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what a lot of people are doing. A
lot of them. Yeah. That reminds me of my my neighbor sold their house in less than a day.
Wow. Full asking. This is the craziest, hottest seller's market ever.
And there and people are offering like. You know, 30, 40, 50 thousand over asking. They got they got
they got they got their asking before their open house. Right. And they and she said that she had
well over a hundred appointments before they come by and look at it. Wow. Insane. And didn't they do
it like 30,000 over? Yeah, I mean, it's they did 30,000 over what I think was supposed to be normal.
Yeah. Now you you can probably you can do more than that. You do a hundred thousand over, I bet
you. Yeah. And you get somebody to buy it. They're desperate. So the sale is pending. So unless it
falls through, it's gone. So that's good. You know what? If I could sell my house for five hundred
fifty thousand dollars. I would. You probably could. Yeah, that's interesting. Start, you know, I
mean, I don't I had fought my wife on this for so long and I've always been. No, I want to keep the
house. Oh, she wants to sell it. Yeah. And move where? I don't know. I don't care. Move back in
Frisco. Yeah, that's the problem. You can't you can't move to another place in Frisco. Well,
whatever. I mean, we can. It'll just, you know, be half a million dollars. It'd be the same. Yeah.
Gaining anything. But, you know, we could, you know, we go to one one level instead of having a
two story. Do one level downsize. You mean, yeah, well, I mean, I don't necessarily mean downsize,
but have the same square footage, but not to story. Do they make houses that big one story?
They do, but the rent style houses and they're just as expensive if not more. Yeah. Well, I
wouldn't mind. I wouldn't mind out a little bit further north. Yeah. I mean, I would
mind out a little bit further north. I mean, it wouldn't hurt my feelings if we moved. Well,
prosper for understand is little California now. We ran into somebody and they said that they're
thinking of leaving because most of the people that are moving there are from California and
it's changing the landscape of things up there. Wow. Like in terms of their city council and
all that bullshit, the schools, everything. Great. I just love it that they've ruined California. So
here they come. So she's like, yeah, we're thinking of getting out. She's been up there for 15, 20
years. Yeah. How disheartening. Yep. Yep. They're like a parasite. That's like a virus. A virus.
That is so messed up. It is kind of hateful. Yeah, but it's true. Yeah. I mean, I don't want
critical race theory taught in our schools. And frankly, I'm kind of think I'm glad that people
are starting to stand up and the parents are starting to stand up. And it seems the more we
push, the more freaked out the school boards are getting. Like, who are you? These aren't your kids.
They're our kids. There's like a mafia style school board system. I mean, with this, you know,
the that was the National School Board Association. Oh, yeah. Of wrote to. Well, they know that
work together. They work together. Well, with the White House, with the White House. Well, they sent
a memo telling them, you know, hey, look, we're losing control and we need to I cannot believe
they wanted to call the parents terrorists. They did. They did do that. They didn't want to. They
did. They're domestic terrorists. Yeah. Well, are they still pursuing that? And the White House like
was like, OK, yeah, we're good with that memo. Yeah. Are they still pursuing that or is that just
I think it's probably probably died down. I mean, I don't know. There was a shit storm after that.
Big time. Big time. You know, ever contributing to Biden's plummeting numbers. What is he at?
Twenty seven percent. That depends which poll. But doesn't matter. It's it's low. It's crazy low.
Yeah. It's you know, it's I feel bad. It's like you can't say much more. And, you know, Kamala Harris
or Kamala Harris, she's even lower. She's even lower. It's just I hear those two are bickering.
Yeah, they're there. It's the most ridiculous administration I've ever seen. Yeah. You know,
there's the Kamala Harris was at some event over in France and someone had mentioned the
another person's name, which was so no, no, that was at the White House. That the White House. Yeah.
They they introduced somebody while she was standing at the podium and she and and she said
in just in just a moment about the other person that was I mean, it was just a mistake.
I mean, obviously they meant to or they should have said, you know, Kamala Harris,
assistant president, Kamala Harris, assistant president or vice president.
Oh, she is an assistant president. She sucks. Well, no, that's below a vice president. Yeah.
Well, then in France, she started using a French accent. I didn't watch the video.
Did you watch it? I saw it. Yeah. She just like being playful. There's a certain word,
certain word that she kept saying and she was trying to do a French accent. It was just bad.
Is she part French? No, she's Indian learning how to speak French.
Was she just being silly, though, or was she just? No. She's just some mess. No, she's psychotic.
Yeah, it's that one right there, that second one. That's just a picture. But I can't remember the
phrase she kept she kept saying. Yeah. But yeah, you know, it's she it's it's just bad. It's just
like when Hillary Clinton Clinton was talking all southern and and what not in her speech.
The Kamala Harris scandal, the French accent. We campaign with the plan. There it is. Uppercase T
uppercase P. We're expected to defend the plan. The plan. I think it's just kind of a plan.
It's land the plan. It's like a mocking of it. I don't think it was supposed to be negative.
I think it was supposed to be sort of like a rocky and raccoon. There was that cartoon.
Rocky and Bullwinkle. Rocky and Bullwinkle. Hey, buzz, it's the plan, the plan, you know, or
I don't know. That tattoo from the Fantasy Island plane. Now, now tattoo. I think she's
Hey, she's fake. I think she's just an idiot. I think she's in over her head and she's trying
to control a situation she can't control. And she's forcing her her staff to try to control
that every time I look at her. She I see Montel Williams next to her. She's completely in over
her head. She is. She had no business being at this level. No business at all. Getting back to
the school boards and CRT. Did you see what happened out in Irving that they were up there
talking about critical race theory and they don't want it in their school board. Another guy got
up there and he turned around and faced the audience and basically threatened them that
critical race theory is a good thing and I have a thousand soldiers ready to go that's locked and
loaded. If you don't and then and apparently there were three women that had spoken before him and
they felt that he was talking directly to them. Right. And one of them responded, Are you threatening
me? And he repeated locked and loaded. Right. And he was wearing tactical gear. Really? Yeah.
Yeah. Out in Irving. Yep. There he is right there. There's a picture of him wearing tactical gear.
Where'd he go? He's up at the top. I don't know. I don't know what the locked and loaded. Yeah.
I've got a thousand soldiers ready to go. All right. So this guy shows up and he's he's not
four. Let me see the very top. He's four. He defended critical race theory. Was he white or
black? He was a black guy right there. Yeah. There he is. See him tactical gear. So he's basic. What
the hell is going on here? This is off the charts. Yeah. He looks like a Black Panthers kind of guy.
All dressed like that dressed in black and I think that was at a different one. I think he
was a little more normally dressed at this last one, but he's been stood up. He's been there
before. Yeah. Spouting off some bullshit. Yeah. He said we are not our ancestors.
Yeah. Okay. Can you scroll up for me? Because it's behind the microphone the other way.
Hold down. Sorry. For those who got into this critical race theory equity issue,
this is what I fight for my kids. How dare you talk about the things that my daddy and my
grandparents suffered. The lynchpin, the oppression, the Jim Crow and my children are still suffering.
We are not our ancestors. I've got more than a thousand soldiers ready to go.
Yeah, that sounds really, um, I don't believe intimidating. I don't believe if you're anti
critical race theory that you're not anti history, right? We're not saying don't teach about Jim Crow.
Don't teach about this. Don't teach about that. It's just don't tell the white kids that they're
the oppressors and evil, right? Right. Automatically when you come out of the womb.
So this is in Fort Worth, by the way, even though it says fourth worth, that was a Fort Worth.
Yeah. Look at that fourth worth. The journalism nowadays is so incredibly disappointing.
How many mistakes I see all the time when I read articles. So bad, but fourth as in the
fourth worth as in the number, right? Fourth, not even Fort. Like they just actually hit the H.
It's just like come forth. I see mistakes all the time. And I've told you guys this before. I took
one journalism class at A&M, right? My sister was, so I'm not an authority. But if you had a spelling
mistake in any way, shape or form F automatic F boom. Well, my sister was a journalism. She worked
for magazines and she can't stand it either. I can't stand it. I see it in headlines. I see it all
over the place. Some of them are literally misspellings. I understand fourth. Like you're
not going to catch that because it's a real word, right? Well, you proofread it. Proofread it. Yes.
Yes. But even the spelling is not going to catch that. But I've seen headlines that are literally
misspelled, right? Which means they didn't even run spell check. I'll tell you this. That's boring.
This bourbon. Yes. It tastes so good. The apple cider I had. Yeah. I had some apple cider, but
I had the apple cider because I had some ham. I had cooked one. Remember we went to that place?
Kennedy's. Yeah. We went to Kennedy's. We bought a bunch of sausages.
So I don't know. I probably was not invited. You were out of town as usual. So we ended up
going down there. We picked up, you know, we usually get like some holiday turkeys and hams
and some sausages and bacon. And the bacon I like is because it's already smoked. So it's at a
certain size. It's not going to go inside a shrinky dink. It's not going to go down to nothing.
OK, so last year I only bought one ham and I ended up cooking it. I overcooked it. It was dry. It was
like eating fucking shoe leather. Yeah, you can't get it because there's no fat. So now I understand
that all you have to do is just heat it up. So that's what I did this time. I did it for a minute.
No, I just got it out to room temperature, basically a food in the oven for a little bit.
Put some slits on there, put a little brown sugar, a little honey, a little pineapple, freshly waxed
stuff. Just put it on there. So anyways, bowls. I ended up eating that and I'm freaking bloated.
And I'm just like, God, you know, because usually that's the half gallon of apple cider.
Yeah, well, it's going to work. But it reminded me because I mean, we bought that stuff for the
holidays and the holidays are coming. And I've got that. I bought two frozen turkeys that are
already cooked. And I don't remember. I don't think I bought a turkey last year, did I? Yeah,
you did. I don't remember eating it. But it doesn't matter. No, but I have a turkey in a can,
but it's already cooked. So I'm interested because I didn't pay attention last time. I think my wife
grabbed it out and put it in there and maybe she figured out it was cooked. And I just say to
thinking it was just regular old turkey. So I'm interested this year because I know it's already
precooked and pre-smoked. So I'm excited about it, man. Thanksgiving. I don't know. You know,
that's coming up. That's not that's like next week. Next week. Yeah. Are you going to be in town,
Paul? I am. My father-in-law is going to be here Tuesday through Friday. Yeah, I'm going to do so.
So the foods we're going to have about 15, 16 folks. Oh, wow. At our house. And Julie's going
to fix a turkey in the oven because she puts stuffing in there. Right. Nice. So she does that.
And I'm going to smoke a 10 pound turkey breast. I then I'm going to smoke a ham as well. And
don't we already have a ham? Huh? I'm not going to smoke one of those. I did that last. I did. I
smoked one of those hams. Do you smoke you over smoke it? Yeah, it didn't. It was it was too dry.
And but the ham I smoke is actually the one that we get is from Costco. And they're actually really
good. It's a spiral cut. They got some sugary substance that you smash on the sides and you
smoke it. It's all car. Yeah, the Costco hams are really good. Oh, nice. Remember that. Not a huge
ham fan. I think my sister ruined it for me because I remember my wife and I want I'm
starting to like ham. I like the Kennedy's ham a lot. That's what got me back on ham.
And then the Costco ones are good too, especially when they're smoked. I mean,
they're already cooked. So you're smoking it and you're just infusing it with some of that goodness
that smokers give. Yeah. And I think my sister ruined it for ham for me because I remember we
went up there for Christmas one year. We were not even married a year. No, no, we weren't even
married yet because we were going to get it was the Christmas before we got married. So about
four months we went up there. My parents were up there. My sister and her family were up there.
She was nine months pregnant. So she was ginormous and she made Christmas dinner
and a ham. And it was basically a hunk of fat. Oh, no. It was so nasty. Really? And I'm going to
have to give her grief. She could be down here next week. And that would ruin it for anybody.
But ham fat is nasty. I think it's white. It was just a bad cut. She bought a bad ham. I don't know.
It was very, very fatty. And I don't know if she cooked it correctly because it was just ham fat
is like snot almost. It's real. Just and I had a really hard time with it. And the texture texture.
I'm not a big ham fat guy. And it was not like that at all. And it was really, really, really
bad. Downtown McKinney. And I had a back fat sandwich. Remember that? And it was just fat. I had no
idea. Back fat sandwich. I had no idea what it was. What the hell is a back fat sandwich? It's the fat
that's on the fucking back of a pig. It's disgusting. It was disgusting. Was it pork belly?
Really? The first bite for just a moment, it was divine. And then I was kind of like. I remember
that. Jeff nailed it. Snot. Yeah. And so the texture of the whole sandwich was like a snotty,
gross pig snot. Yeah. That was Oktoberfest, wasn't it? Yeah. That would be horrible.
So you ate the whole thing though? Did I? Yes, you did. Why? Because the first bite was down in like
two seconds. I was like. And then I was kind of like, what the hell was that? I'm not sure. I
tasted that. And it was gone. And then you looked at it and it was just a bit. It was just cubes of fat.
Oh, gross. And it was gross. They're not going to have sides of that cubed fat for Thanksgiving.
But what are some of your favorite sides that you like for Thanksgiving? We always do the
what? The green beans with the onions, the crispy onions or whatever that is. You don't like that?
Oh, I think it's really good. I enjoy that. I don't enjoy. Was it cranberry? What is it?
Cranberry sauce. Yeah. Oh, no, they're slices. They're whole cranberry. Well, that's like jello.
Yeah, I've never been a fan. Never been a fan of this. My wife makes it really good. You'd
like my wife. She does it from actual. It's not a can we slice it. It's actual cranberry sauce
where you take the real cranberries and she does she does it somehow. And it's really nice. So
but I don't mind that, you know, typical mashed potatoes and typical, you know,
I don't think we do mashed potatoes. No, I don't think so. We have a lot of sides.
I know I brought down I was able to get some recipes for my mother, which she used to cook
some we call it broccoli supreme, but it's a broccoli dish and it's really good. It's got
cheese on top and some stuffing, dried stuff. Is there rice in there? No rice. Stuffing is good,
too. And yeah, Julie makes really good stuffing. Creamy mashed potatoes. Even the mashed potatoes
like the chunks of potato. I like a little bit couple of chunks in there. Random one. I'm not
sure I've had chunky mashed potatoes before. That'd be good, though. Yeah. And then Julie makes
again, my mom used to make homemade mac and cheese and it was a secret recipe. She wouldn't tell me
she put bourbon in it. No, she wouldn't tell me. And then she told Julie right before she passed
away what the recipe was. So do you know what's in it? Macaroni and cheese. Oh, it's just Kraft.
No, it's not a big secret. It's it's Kraft with the powder mix. No, I don't know. It's like
literally she passed on the family recipe. Wow. So she makes it. You don't know what it is. No,
I think I have a good idea, but I don't know what Julie's refusing to tell you. She won't tell me.
Are you serious? What the hell? So your mom, she makes. Wow. She makes that every year and it's
inhaled every year. And oh, my God, that's so funny. I cannot believe she doesn't tell you.
She makes it with pork belly fat. Yeah, it's got pork belly in there. Mix it up in that cheese.
Huh? The mac and cheese. And there's another one that my mom used to make. We call it lots of
supreme stuff. Jell-O Supreme. It's got Jell-O and cream cheese and you whip it all together and it's
got maraschino cherries in it. It's like a little it's like a sweet little side dish, I guess. Right.
But we don't do the green bean casserole. I've never been a fan of those. Butternut squash. I like it.
I like it. No, squash is gross. Yeah. Well, I'm not a squash fan. I'm not a broccoli fan either.
French onion casserole, you know, potatoes, au gratin. Some have like cream cheese and ranch,
cornbread. Cornbread is popular. We do rolls. I think we do rolls. I love rolls. Bread is always
the best. Yeah. But I think we're doing a ham. We're not doing a turkey this year. We're doing
a ham and probably do all those side dishes. So I need to I probably need to jump in and figure out
how we're gonna what recipes we're going to use and maybe stuffing and all that kind of stuff.
Yeah. Have you guys ever deep fried a turkey? Yes. Yeah, we did that down in Houston. That was
that was fun. Was it good? It was very tasty. Oh, it was really good. Yeah. I've never done one.
They have the 45 minutes. It can be it can be a dangerous deal. I think we've talked about that
before. Yeah. Videos of the directions. So it's going bad. Yeah. Well, I know when I spoke a
turkey, I can get it done in just a couple hours. Oh, wow. When I spatchcock it. Oh, so. Oh, nice.
He likes to take his clothes off and spatchcock it. Yes. Yeah. And it's really something. Oh,
he leaves his tidy white. He's on. I do. He keeps spatchcocking in his tidy white.
No shirt. It's really good, though. You're tenderizing. Oh, yeah. I brine it. I'll
brine it. I got I got I make my turkey brine and I'll brine that and I'll bring the turkey. I'll
brine the turkey breast. What is spatchcocking for those out there? I know you're cutting the
spine out. You cut the spine out and you lay it flat. Essentially, you cut it. Then you break
the breastbone so the turkey lays flat. So your turkey is only this thick instead of that thick.
Right. Splat. You get rid of that big cavity that slows down the cooking. So splatch,
spatch, like spatch, spatch, spatchcock, cock as in like chicken. Yeah. Oh, oh, OK. Yeah. So
you literally you literally cut the spine out. Yeah, you cut it out and then you break the
breastbone. Some people take the breastbone out. I've seen that as well. I've never done that,
but it cooks it really, really quick. The more bones you take out, the quicker it's going to cook.
Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. You see the big, really sharp pair of shears to cut out because you have
to get through the ribs and stuff like that and the hip bone. You have to. That's what I need. You
know, I need a good set of poultry cutting scissors in my kitchen. Yeah. I definitely don't
have one. They usually get absorbed into the utility cutting scissors area, you know, cardboard,
metal. Yeah. No, you need to have a nice, good sharp with lots of force. So OK. All right. Well,
you know, what about the the dressings? You got brown and white white or dressings for
the turkey with mashed potatoes, the stuffing, like dressing, like brown gravy. I'm going to say
gravy gravy. Yeah. You make gravy. Yeah. Julie usually makes gravy out of the out of the juice
drippings. She'll put it in the pot and add whatever she adds to it. Flour, flour and stuff
stock or whatever. I don't know. I've never been part of making the gravy. Now I'm looking
forward to. I love eating and it's quite the statement. Yeah, I love eating. I think. Yeah.
Julie does a really good job. You know, she she she she busts her ass. She is quite the spread.
My wife's family makes a a spiced meat pie. I call it spice. Shepherd's pie. It's not like
Shepherd's pie. It's a little bit different. It's Shepherd's pie has like like like potatoes in it.
It's not potato on top. So this one is like it's like I want to say it's a French clove tasting
meat, you know, and it's literally, you know, it's it's heated up. It's warm. It's got a it's got a
clove taste. That's all I can really taste. Is it good? Yeah, I call it meat pie. The family makes
fun of me. They have there's two T.A. to see air. You ever heard of that? No, no. To see air. Yeah.
To see air. I don't know if even I'm saying that right. Te puedo to tear.
Well, anyway, so that's what I look forward to. Plus the pies. I like pecan pie is my favorite.
Yeah. Yeah, Julie. Again, another pie my mom used to make. It's it's a chocolate pecan type pie.
It's really good. Like a cream chocolate cream. It's got butterscotch pudding in it and it kind
of looks like pecan pie, but it's it's much more decadent. It's really good. So there's it says here
tour tour to air the French Canadian meat pie. There is right there. There. Yeah, that's exactly
it, man. It's like a hamburger. Yeah, it does. But it tastes very festive. It's it's got a it does.
It's got that spice. Canadian. Interesting. It looks like a vagina. We've got ground cinnamon.
Where do you see that? Ginger nutmeg, allspice, ground cloves, cayenne, and
pepper. That's very fall and cayenne pepper and ground mustard. So it's everything like that.
It's it's got a wonderful taste to it and I can easily eat two slices of that. So is it French
or is a French Canadian? Well, French Canadian. That's what I'm sure. Ultimately, it's French.
Yeah, but maybe Canadians put a twist on it. Maybe they added some cayenne pepper.
So just from the hills of cayenne, for the record, I've never seen a vag that looks like that. But
I guess you might have seen one that looked like ground beef, like what you were describing
earlier. I know. I've never seen one that looks like that. Well, it caught me off guard.
Well, I don't think you heard about it. How big are they? He goes, while you were like,
the meat pie is so festive and this and that, he's like, it looks like a vagina.
And so I was just clarifying that I've never seen one that looks like that. I don't recall that.
Really? You don't? Tortillere. I'm gonna have to investigate. I'm gonna write that down.
I like trying new things. That's my favorite pie. Well, it's not a pie, but like apple pie.
But it's not a dessert. But it's a main dish, right? It's like a quiche. Yeah, but it's made
out of meat. That's the important aspect, meat. Well, it's a spicy meat, and it's thicker than,
I want to say it's almost just, it's not as thick as meatloaf. I was gonna say,
is it a meatloaf-like texture? It kind of would need to be. Otherwise, it just kind of falls apart
like a pile of ground beef. But it's not like meatloaf. There's a different texture.
It's not like meatloaf. It stays solid. Because there's eggs in there. But this stuff,
it will hold its form for a short while, and then it starts to crumble. It's kind of like a
thick meat sauce, I guess. I don't know how to explain it. I'd be willing to try it. Oh, it's
fantastic. Why don't you make it this weekend, Paul? Okay, I'm on it. Well, so I don't know. I
can't think of any other favorites for the side dishes. I'm looking forward to it. I'm going over
to my in-law's house. My parents, I gotta figure out what they're doing. If you guys don't have
plans for the weekend after Thanksgiving, we should all get together and have our own little
post. My family's gonna be here. Oh, okay. So I don't know exactly when they'll be. Is your
dad gonna be here? No, he's not gonna make it. My sister and her husband are gonna be here.
But they're staying the whole time? Well, I don't know. I don't know when they're going back. I
don't know if it's Saturday or Sunday. We may not be invited for that week. Why? Maybe there's too much going on.
By whom? Invited by whom? We may not be invited, is what I'm saying. Oh, but over here? Yeah. Why not?
We gotta stay away. Why? Or maybe it's the opposite. Maybe you're gonna escape.
No, I don't know when they're leaving. So, I mean, if they're here like on Saturday,
they're leaving Sunday, yeah, that's what mind everyone coming over or something like that. Yeah,
I was thinking, well, so yeah, we'll look at it, but maybe Saturday night would be good. I don't know.
Okay. Yeah, it just depends on when everyone's leaving. Right. Gotcha. That's kind of cool. So
that's happening on Thanksgiving. Yeah, I don't know. It's kind of weird. This is gonna be
kind of a fun. This is gonna be a weird year. Why? Supply chain issues, pricing of turkeys.
Price of gas. Yeah, I think an all above. Yeah, I put a hundred bucks in my truck
trucking last weekend. Wow. Gas wise? Yeah. And that was a 40 cents off at Kroger.
Wow. Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, it's out of control. And we're not even a year in. Nope.
No. Well, he wants to cancel another pipeline. Yeah, I think that's smart. And he wants to tap
the strategic oil reserve instead of producing more. Let's tap our strategic oil reserve. Right.
For, you know, true emergencies, right? Right. Let's deplete that. Yeah, the emergency is his
poll numbers. Yeah, he wants to get that price down. That's all he wants to do. Right before
Thanksgiving. Well, now he wants to do it. Probably the prices for the midterms. I'll
see gas prices back down where it needs to be. Right. What is the rationale for shutting down
the other gas line? Does he need any? I don't know what his rationale is. I mean, even like the
lady, the spokesman, when they were talking about OPEC raising the prices and she was big. Yeah,
the laugh, the audacity. Who is that bitch? I don't know. She's the energy secretary. Yeah.
Yeah, exactly. Department of Energy. And yeah, and she's like some sort of. Just laughs. Oh,
come on. You stupid white boy. Like we have any control over that. Yeah. Well, you know what? You
don't have to be going through. Yeah, I don't know what the hell her, what her deal is. This is all,
these are all plants, guys. These are plants to push an ideology. She was absolutely,
it was absolutely wrong. Yeah, we've covered this in. And no one's calling her out. Of course not.
You know, the media is not calling her out. Well, yeah. And look at Whoopi Goldberg. I tell you what,
she is a slob. Yeah. A slob. She is a slug. I was slug. Wittenhouse trial message, it's OK to shoot
white and it gets cut off. What? White. Well, it. White men. Well, no. What's her name? Whoopi
Goldberg says that, well, not only can they kill black folks, they can kill the white folks too.
Is that like a threat? No, that's what Whoopi says. All right. Well, you know how they can kill now.
Now they can kill white folks. That's all this one is saying. So killing black folks is OK. Now
they're saying, well, it's killing white folks is OK. Oh, good. Well, there's equity there.
Do you throw that back in her face? What did she say? Yeah. Equity. Yeah, you want equity. There you
go. Oh, there you go. Now it's OK to kill everybody. Yeah. Guns don't discriminate. Guns kill
everybody. I wonder what I wonder what her TV show, The View, what their viewership is. I don't know.
And why is that show still on? Oh, Joy. I know Joy Reid's not that Joy Behar is on that show,
but Joy Reid said something absolutely crazy, inflammatory, I think yesterday on MSNBC. And I
wish I could remember the headline. It was crazy. I mean, it goes on and on and on with how
inflammatory that that woman is. You know what I'm talking about? Joy Reid. Yeah, I know who that is.
Yeah. The anchor on MSNBC that nobody watches, of course. But anyway, so going back to Thanksgiving,
she's a true piece of shit. Yeah, she is. Yeah. Go to Thanksgiving. Did you do Thanksgiving when
you're in Thailand? Of course. Yeah. Yeah. Did they have turkeys and hams or did you have to
do some adjustments when you were over there? Man, that's a great question. I think we had turkeys.
Some like low-main. Yeah, it was all Indonesian food. No, I mean, for the most part, my mom
continued with the same diet that we always had. Like, you know what I mean? We didn't get peanut
butter and jellies. Yeah. Oh, yeah. No. And baloney. Absolutely. We kept it as normal as possible. And
I don't remember. I would imagine she was, I mean, we were always a turkey family. So
if she was able to get a turkey, we got a turkey. Otherwise, it would have been ham. So,
but I mean, yeah, nothing weird. Nothing weird. So, yeah. No eels. No, no. We managed to
manage to maintain the American diet, which is probably not a good thing. But you know,
the joy bear from the view, the view, the view makes seven million dollars a year. She's a
piece of shit. She is. I don't care. She's a piece of shit. Totally is. And she's probably done that.
How long has she had this company? Oh, 20 years. Completely irrational. How long has the view been
on? It started way Barbara Walters was on. It used to not be like this. Quite this bad. Right.
When Barbara Walters was on and Joy Behar. I don't remember who else was it Roseanne on it for a
while. They always had one token token conservative woman. Right. And then they would run them off
like Hasselhoff. No, no, no. Sorry. Matt. Who was the quarterback quarterback? Hasselhoff. Hasselbeck.
Hasselbeck. So she was on there for a long time. Yeah. And then she got replaced by McCain.
Meghan McCain. Yeah. John McCain's daughter. I think there's been there's somebody in there.
Sonny Hock, Sarah Haynes. Sonny Hock is a piece of shit too. They're all they're all radical psychos,
man, in my opinion. And if you disagree with them, they shut you down. Oh, yeah, of course.
And they had and they had like, you know, fights and where they went to commercial and they're all
bickering with each other. I'm like, give me a break. I know. Yeah, it's ridiculous. 1997.
Holy shit. I didn't realize it's been around that long. If you canceled. I hope they freaking
cancel that show. All it is is it's just divisive. Totally. You know, everything's divisive right now.
Well, there it is. But they're part of the problem because they make the news because they're so far
out there. Yep. You feel that and people watch it again. I don't know what their viewership is,
but people watch that shit. They do. You know, well, whoopie said this. I got to believe it.
Yep. And they believe whatever's coming out of there, even though it's like, you know,
and the sad thing to me is that they have they have the perfect platform to to get a message out,
a positive message, a humanitarian message, something constructive, you know, not so
vile and well, just like just like they were productive with what you're what you have the
form to be able to do that. You're saying they can turn all kinds of people. But they don't.
Yeah, they're divisive and hateful. I mean, they can talk about positive things. Just talk about
positive things. Make that a point. Just make sure, hey, why don't you guys talk about something
positive? What's good about today? You know, hey, I'm alive. Hey, those prices, even though they're
continuing to go up, you know, we're still we had enough money to buy this. We're thankful for this.
Right. Yeah, they could. But no, that's not really their that's not really their thing.
I don't know. It's you know, it's it's spreading on all the shows and the stars across the board,
even with NFL, you know, with Aaron Rodgers. No, he's getting shit on right now. Yeah. And I
really don't understand it. I think the only people that could have a beef with him is possibly his
own teammates. Yeah, people that know that people directly around him. Yeah, that may be a thing.
The same damn thing. People who are vaccinated have the same risk of spreading the virus as
unvaccinated. He didn't put anybody. He put nobody. Well, not like literally zero people on the planet.
He put at higher risk of anything. Right. So they can screw themselves. I think what they're latching
on to is he lied. He said he was immunized. Immunized. Well, there are different ways to be
immunized. Right. I mean, and people are buying into the brain, you know, the brainwashing that,
vaccinated people are evil, evil. They're not evil. No. And like I said, they don't run any more risk
of spreading it than anybody else. The fifth court was the Fifth Court of Appeals. Fifth Court of
Appeals. Yeah. You know, is it the same thing or did they push that forward even more? Were they shut
down? Well, they delayed it or they said you need to hit pause and then like a week later.
Yep, they permanently shut it down. They said, yeah, you're done. Yeah. So is that just in one state
or is that nationwide? It's nationwide. Wow. So at this point, it's all up to individual business owners
to. So I mean, that should spread all the way through the cities. It should. I mean, I was very thankful
to see that. Yeah, so now all those people about, what about New York with all those cops being on
all the nurses that are being fired and walked off the jobs? Right. Again, if that hospital says we're
still mandating the vaccine, they can do that. But you're going to lose some people in the process.
Yeah. So, you know, it's each each company could do what they want. Yeah. And I'm amazed. I mean,
I'm amazed how many people are sticking to their guns or to their principles. I mean, there's tons
of nurses that got fired. Tons of I mean, I don't know about doctors, but for some reason, I haven't
heard about any doctors being fired, but I'm sure they are. But nurses getting fired and cops refusing
to take the vaccine and and you know, well, a lot of us saw some one article, a lot of the NYPD
moving to Florida, right, where they don't have to be getting becoming cops. Well, what about the
military? Like, if you don't want to take it and they're mandating it, do you get a what do you call
a dishonorable discharge? I don't know. I mean, I don't know. Unbelievable. Because you know, because that
looks very poorly on their record. Well, for being in the military. Yeah, dishonorably discharged. To
be dishonorably discharged because you didn't take the vaccine. I mean, very poor on your end.
So I don't think the soldiers actually have a right. I'm thinking. Yeah, because you're crazy.
You're military property. Well, the military says that you're going to have to get it. Well,
when you get the military, I think you get pumped up with all kinds of shit, don't you?
Well, they give you a harbor. If you go to like overseas, you got to have what are they called?
The the boosters? Yeah, they give you all kinds of shots. I mean, that was normal for anybody who
travels overseas. I had to do the same thing when I was a kid living over there. But none of that
was ever. It's crazy how those those shots left the the big old mark on the side of your arm.
Are you talking about smallpox? Well, I don't know what it is. You're going overseas. You had to have
the big one on the side of your arm. And it's amazing how fucked up that is. Do those get so
I mean, everyone has the mark. So it's like. And that just fucked up to think about it, the mark
that it that it scarred that leaves the mark that everyone has. There's a lot of people on the
planet. Do they still give out that same shot? Smallpox. Well, it's been eradicated. The style
of shot that's on the side of your arm, you know, that leaves the mark. I don't know if that's the
smallpox or not, but that is is that what it is? Yeah, because, yeah, we I've got it. I've got it.
We all do. Right. And we all have it. I do. I mean, if you travel over to Europe, you definitely
have it. Right. And did you get it, Jeff? I'm sure I did. There's a lot of folks that didn't get it.
I'm sure I did. I like the people that like if you want to outside of the country, you had to have it.
Yeah. Yeah, that way. I absolutely had to. I mean, that was when we came back to the United States,
we had to get shots every year and we would go through. I guess we went through Chicago for some
reason. And yeah, that was we all got like four or five shots. Like it was it was crazy. And then
but we were rewarded after getting four or five shots. You know, one in each butt cheek, one in
both arms and all this kind of shit. Oh, yeah. It was a sucker. No, we got to go to McDonald's
and that was like, OK, it's worth it. It's worth it. That's before chicken McNuggets.
So you had to get like a cheeseburger. No, I had to get a quarter pounder with cheese, but no cheese
because that was what was on the menu. You didn't like cheese. No, I didn't.
I don't like fast food. So they used to on the menu, they used to have quarter
powder and quarter pounder with cheese. And then they removed quarter pounder.
So as a kid, I would say I would like the quarter powder with cheese with no cheese.
Why not when I was I'd be listing it off the menu? Well, I worked at McDonald's when I was 16.
Stupid, right? And they had they had both. They had quarter pounders and quarter pounders with cheese.
Yeah, they had it for a long, long time because that's what I would order. But then, yeah, they
took it off. Yeah, I worked at McDonald's for. Did you really? Yeah, for two years. And well,
I was in high school and I'd work Friday, Saturday and Sunday, right?
Only during the weekends. I'd close Friday night. I closed Saturday night and I'd go in
at like 11 to seven or something like that on a Sunday. Did you hate it?
At times, it was just it was just I was back there. I was a cook. Right. Right. And
that's when they you still actually cook the meat at McDonald's. I don't know how they do it now.
Of course, they still cook it. What does that mean? Well, it's different now. You know, when I was
doing it, they had three or four big griddles or, you know, the big flat pans, big flat open.
Yeah, the big flat grill. And one person would be responsible for like Big Macs
and hamburgers. And then another one would have to do all the hamburgers. And someone else would
be doing all the quarter pounders. The McDeal T was big back then, too. So you'd lay out and you
hit the button, you'd see them. It was all timed. Right. And they tell you when to turn it. You turn
them. And then then, you know, usually working with someone else. Someone's cooking the hamburger.
Someone's prepping the buns. Someone's toasting the buns, laying the cheese. And it was as close
to automated as possible. Yeah. And it was you have to wear the paper hat. I mean, said McDonald's.
Now, I think it was it was some kind of ball cap or something. Oh, man. I remember the paper hats
they used to have. Oh, yeah. I remember that. I don't think I I don't remember wearing the hat.
I think I don't remember. But it was a polyester suit. Oh, yeah. And it got hot stripes. No,
this solid, highly flammable. This was solid blue. And it would be so greasy because your hands would
get greasy because you're flipping the burgers into a splatter. Yeah. And you'd wipe it on your legs.
Or I would. And when I get home, my thighs would be all greasy and split right into your hands.
I had I had two I had two sets of it. So I'd wash one and wear the next one. Right. Because
that grease gets hard. And it was that blue right there. That's exactly what I had. Wow. And those
are that actually may be you. It could be. Could be my sister. She worked there as well. Oh,
OK. Well, look, mine didn't have stripes, though. That was that color. But mine didn't have stripes.
It was solid blue. And I remember they had a special I never cooked so many hamburgers in my
life. They actually Big Macs. But they had a special I think was 99 cent Big Macs. Oh, wow.
And I'd have forty eight hamburgers going at one time. Oh, wow. And see them all. It'd be just
lettuce everywhere because people are just you're just making as fast as you can. Right. People are
buying 10 at a time. Right. Right. And for hours, I just sit there and make Big Mac. Just turn one
after another. Forty eight every, you know, couple of minutes. Yeah. It was ridiculous. Yeah. My son
worked at Whataburger and he only lasted, I think, a month, maybe even less. Yeah, he didn't last
very long. And he said, Oh, I would never going to work fast food again because apparently the
maybe the customers are not they weren't as bad back then, Jeff, when you were working. But he
somebody somebody was complaining about how the shake wasn't filled up all the way or something.
And they threw it back at him through the drive through window and it didn't hit him. But it
it landed on the floor and went everywhere. And Brody was like, What the hell? I mean, he he saw
like really shitty, awful customers. Yeah. And he was like, man, he couldn't handle it. Get the
shitty people. Yeah, there are there's buttholes out there. And I think it's gotten worse. I mean,
like just civility. Right. What people think they're allowed to do and say, you know, right. I don't
think we're in a different world now than when we were. Yeah, I don't think I ever did the register.
But I don't remember when I was working at McDonald's a long time ago. Really any customer
issues like that. I thought anyway. See, I worked at the movie theater, right. I worked at AMC. And
yeah, I did the register. I did, you know, I was the usher, you know, all kind of stuff. But I spent
tons of time behind the counter. And I mean, there there were some people that kind of gave a little
bit of attitude, you know, about things or whatever. But, you know, they would complain that they want
the fresh popcorn or they wanted, you know, that's too much ice in my club. You know what I mean?
Like just little things like that. Yeah. People would get around the freshness thing at McDonald's.
They'd say, I need french fries, no salt, please. Hey, before we go on our break here, I wanted to
go back to the shows, the fifth circuit. Yeah, he's not even fast food. Yeah. Anyway, go ahead.
Yeah. Yeah, please. Well, you have the floor. Yes. Well, we were talking about the the Fifth
Circuit, how they just they just overturned Biden. Yes. For his vaccine mandate. So the OSHA really
at this point. Correct. Well, both. So they slammed them both separately. So they have a left wing
periodical or magazine that comes out called The Guardian. Yes. And they put up there how Trump
reshaped the Fifth Circuit to become the most extreme U.S. court. He did. He well, he appointed
like three hundred judges. They said that's going to that's really going to be Trump's legacies
because he appointed all of these judges without anybody really knowing it. No, they knew they just
couldn't stop it. So they didn't they didn't report on it. Yeah, they didn't make much to
stink about it because they didn't want him to have the win. Right. So that's one of the things
you heard. You follow me there. Oh, yeah. That's really good. He's more. Well, has he appointed
more? Yeah, it was a lot. He appointed a shitload. Hundreds. The last account I saw was it was
nearing three hundred. Right. Wow. Well, you know, is that a good thing or is that a bad thing?
I mean, as long as he's appointing judges that are supposed to be fair, fair and apply the law
your way, the way you're supposed to. Now, I mean, maybe maybe I can't be objective here and I'm
jaded, but I would say that conservative judges can apply the law much better than than liberal
judges because the liberal judges have an idea and the gender or ideology. They're activist judges,
in my opinion. They're activist judges. That's a good term. So, yeah. So anyway, so my opinion,
are they taking the fourth or fifth? Fifth. Are they taking it to the Supreme Court?
What? No, they didn't say it didn't say that. So it's I'm sure it'll move up. They're just
they're complaining. But what's that one republic? One publicly mourned the moral tragedy of abortion.
It's just whatever they're so dramatic. It is. It is. I'm trying to find out who the who's the
the woman that didn't take notes? Others Amy Coney Barrett, Supreme Court, where he nominated her to
the Supreme Court. So he did Trump. I mean, he nominated a boatload of Bush did John Roberts.
And look at the hack he turned into. He is a total fraud. Yeah. You know, I don't know.
I don't know. Did he do some illegal shit? Now, that was the whole Epstein rumor that Epstein
managed to get kids fostered for him. This is creepy. He arranged the adopted kids for
right for him. So some creepy shit. All right. Well, I hate first half of dudes like us. This
the Thursday. I'm sorry. This is the Tuesday before. No, Thanksgiving. Excuse me. Next week's
Thanksgiving. So that's one more. All right. Well, that's good deal. It's November 16. I'm Sean.
I'm Paul. And I'm Jeff. And we'll catch you on the flip side. Dudes like us.
