That means it's working.
It's in Sean's beard.
You know, I don't have a bottle opener.
I got you, bro.
Get one downstairs. I got you, bro.
There you go.
Nice.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the December 14th edition of Dudes Like Us.
14th edition?
14th edition.
I need a reboot on that.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the December 14th edition.
You gotta bring it up from the bowels of your...
Welcome!
Yeah, there you go.
Just like that.
Okay.
Dudes Like Us.
Keep going.
Yes, we're back.
I'm Paul.
I'm Sean.
So we have a guest tonight.
Welcome back.
Welcome back to the show.
Howdy. Third time.
You guys wouldn't know that because we haven't published any of the ones that Chuck has been on yet.
Because it's on this long list of shit to do.
Yes.
We're behind.
I'm in Shadow Band.
But Jeff is doing a fantastic job getting us caught up.
Getting us caught up.
What happened?
I think Lady was doing something to him.
Oh no, she's laying down there.
Dry humping.
So are you drinking the all shmiggy beer?
Yeah, well my son has procured several cases of a random beer through a Christmas party that he was hired to do.
They made him put a Santa's hat on.
And nothing else.
Whatever, man.
He's an adult.
What happens in these private parties stays in those private parties.
You would hope.
Except for those STDs.
Lifestyles of the rich and famous.
Sexually transmitted.
Disgusting stuff.
There's going to be some TikToks out there with Preston.
Anyways, I've got a refrigerator full of bachelor's beer.
Bre beer.
And I'm trying to get rid of it.
And then seltzers.
There's too much, man.
I went in there to put regular food in and I was like, God.
Really packed.
With random.
I'm like, oh, I've got all this beer on the other side.
I'm like, God.
I can't put my food in here.
I like beer. Don't get me wrong.
I really do.
But I'm over beer.
You feel like a hoarder?
No, I just don't drink beer as much anymore.
Throughout the week, I don't sit there and have a beer.
But why didn't he bring you home like 47 bottles of half-drink bourbon?
It's not for me.
Yeah, there you go.
Well, he brought home a couple bottles of Crown Royal.
Oh, very nice.
Black. Black Crown Royal.
How is it?
I don't think I've ever tried it.
We need to add that to our repertoire.
The Canadian whiskeys.
It's oaky.
It has a nice taste to it.
It's got the extra char-age.
What was the rumor about
Crown?
Like somebody, there was a whistleblower
from inside their distillery and they
put something in their...
You guys know what I'm talking about?
I didn't have the conversation with you guys?
It wasn't me.
You're tier ones.
Yeah, some whistleblower was saying that they added
something to their
whisky from Idaho
and they didn't want that to get out.
Like flavorings?
Color.
I think it's color.
Like a food coloring.
Interesting.
Which is a huge no-no in the whisky industry, right?
Well, the Crown Royal whistleblower alleges
gambling, squirting...
Squirting.
Oh my God.
Into the bottle of the Crown.
It says squirting money laundering laws.
I don't think that's it.
It had something to do with that, put into question
the quality of their whisky.
That's what I remember.
But I could be totally wrong about that.
And it doesn't look like the producer's looking up
anything for it.
So anyway, we'll just table that for now
and then maybe someday we'll come back to it.
No, hold on. I'm diving in this right now.
So, was it
for the coloring, not the flavoring, right?
I thought so.
Could be.
Because they do add flavorings to some of their Crowns.
Crown apple, Crown salted caramel,
Crown peach.
Well, there's even whisky now.
I mean, like American whiskeys that have that same.
No, I'm specifically talking about Crown.
That's your favorite now.
The Jack Apple mule.
I tell you what, it's really good. Ginger beer and
Jack apple in line.
Really good.
In a Moscow mule glass.
Did you buy those specifically to have those?
They were gifted to us.
I think.
And they're really cool though.
Copper?
I think they're supposed to be copper.
Oh, here we go.
Ten things you have to know about
Canadian whisky.
About Crown Royal.
So what did you find out about the whistleblower there, Sean?
I didn't find anything.
I don't think Paul spoke correct.
I think they buried it.
It's possible too.
Crown Royal is a big company. What's the parent company of Crown Royal?
Crown.
Diageo?
There's several because it's Seagrams, I think.
No, I don't think it was Seagrams.
Seagrams Vio.
It could be Diageo.
I'm staring on the screen.
It's a big reason not to drink Crown Royal.
Hillary Clinton's a fan of it.
All right.
That's enough for me.
Well, you know what? What is Crown?
It's a Canadian whisky. It's a blend.
It's a blend, so it's not a rye.
It's not a wheat.
No.
All Canadian whisky's blend?
I believe so.
I think so too.
We're not well versed on Canadian whisky.
I agree with you.
I think that's something we're probably going to
dive into at some point.
Is there a master class on Canadian whisky now?
We're not...
I don't think we're qualified to teach a
master class in anything.
We're qualified to drink it all.
Hillary's not qualified either.
No, that's for sure.
Here you go.
The difference, US distillers combine the grains
before mashing them into a mixture called a
mashed bill.
Canadian distillers mash the grains individually
and then combine them as separate whiskeys.
So it's a blend.
It's a blend of rye whisky and a barley whisky.
And then they blend them.
Interesting.
I'm not a huge fan of Crown.
I like a Crown in Coke.
A Crown in ginger ale.
Crown in ginger ale is actually
probably one of my favorites.
But not straight up.
No Crown straight up.
I used to drink Crown straight up
just because I didn't know any better.
Why would you spend the extra
money on Crown when you could go get
Canadian mist or something cheap?
This is like a local pub or something.
If you're going to mix it.
It's kind of like
I was going to say Cavassier
in Coke.
There's certain types of folk
that like that.
Is that a brandy?
Cognac.
Whatever.
What I'm driving this to is that
it's a mixer.
If I were to taste, we were to sample
the Crown and we would probably
label it as a mixer.
If those folks don't know what a mixer is
it's what we would consider a subpar
bourbon liquor.
I think a lot of people think of Crown as a
high end whiskey.
Do they?
Yeah.
It's a staple.
I don't know if it's top shelf.
It's like 25 bucks for a
regular 750ml bottle.
It's in the 30s.
Low 30s.
I've got Total Wine right here pulled up.
It's $23.99 in Plano North, Preston Village.
You can easily find
a lot of bourbons for the half gallon
in that same price range.
It is definitely a higher price.
It's an 80 proof.
One of them.
It's a hunter proof.
I'm going to go back to your comment
about subpar.
We shouldn't call them subpar.
80 proof bourbons are not
subpar.
They lack that richness and the high
octane with the high proof and all that
kind of stuff.
They're meant to be mixed with some.
Some people drink it straight and they love it.
I wouldn't call them subpar.
That makes it sound like an inferior.
Maybe we've crossed
that threshold.
Maybe that's just us.
Personally me.
I won't go to the bar and order
a Crown with a cube please.
It's not going to happen.
Speaking of whiskey, do we want to discuss the whiskey
we're drinking? Crown with a cube.
We are. We're drinking an oak and eating
with a spire in it.
It's a toasted spire.
People are like
what is a toasted spire?
I wouldn't know.
Right off the bat, until we saw
there was a corkscrew.
What is the other one? Torched.
We went shopping
like we do every Friday.
We bought
an oak and eating wheat.
We have an oak and eating bourbon.
We got two bottles.
We got
an oak and eating
toasted
spire and then we got an oak and eating
four grain.
Torched spire.
The four grain I'm kind of interested in.
I think it's going to be similar to that.
We had a four grain. Penelope.
It was fantastic.
That was good.
But that was much higher proof.
They commented on our Instagram
by the way. Did they really?
What did they say? They said
Paul is a foil.
That's right.
I am the foil.
You're more like the toilet paper.
Well thanks. Really, what was the comment?
I can't remember. I mean it was just like
cheers or something like that. Or enjoy
or something like that. Or up yours.
Screw you. You guys suck.
You guys aren't qualified to be on the air.
Yeah.
The oak and eating
I believe is made here in Grapevine.
Is it really? What? It's a local?
Wow. It's a local. I did not know that.
What a cool mix.
Just think about it. You take a regular
you take a grape bourbon
a good to great bourbon
and you just fill fucking spires
in there. They don't distill their stuff.
I think they want to work up to distilling
but what they do is they source their bourbon
and then they
Which has been aged in a barrel.
It's already been aged in a barrel. They just throw a spire
in it to kind of add a little
additional flavor.
I mean that was what? That was 40 bucks? 39 bucks for that?
Yeah.
It was distilled.
That was a lot more than that. Oh, it's MGP distilled
in Indiana. I think they were both 39 bucks
right around there.
I believe so. I remember paying 16.
And then they age them differently
once they get them. Right?
So they treat them differently.
Right. This one has the toasted
whereas the one downstairs
I think the spire is just black
Yeah, it's a different spire.
It adds a little extra.
Remember when we got those little tiny barrels
and we did our own aging
for six weeks? Yeah, we did it.
I tell you what, it definitely added
some color and taste to the one I did.
Who would have painted the ass?
I did. I used
Ancient Age.
And that stuff's gut rot.
Yeah, yours went from bad to worse.
It's like, alright, it's Russian roulette,
let's see what the worst frickin' bourbon on the planet is
and it'd be Ancient Age.
You know what? Ancient Age
is the Buffalo distiller.
Buffalo Trace distiller.
And it marginally
made it better. And I did
Hamley McKenna and it made it significantly
better. I mean, color
and smoothness of taste.
I was really surprised. It really did.
It made them all, but at the end of the day
it's kind of like, is it worth it?
And I think we compared it
to making our own beer.
You know, it's like we go through all this
hassle of
turning it and routine it.
I mean, if you enjoy doing it,
great.
I didn't enjoy doing it.
The fruits of my labor
weren't great because
Speaking of fruit,
you added fruit to yours, didn't you?
Yeah, we did.
We did cover that.
You added some cherries there. I did.
I stuffed some cherries down in mine and then I was
very disappointed after waiting
three weeks.
So in my rage,
I shoved like another
20 in there.
I just did nothing. No, it became
cherry bourbon sludge.
It was disgusting. You could have strained it.
I had that at Sonic the other day.
It went bad. With some nerds.
With nerds.
Have you guys had that Sonic
with nerds? I think it's very tasty.
It's not.
Dude, I'll do a blizzard any day
over something stupid like that.
Nerds on your... I'm not a big candy,
hard candy fan. Well, it's not
hard. When it comes in the slushy,
it softens up. It's got a little crunch
like cereal. Oh, hold on.
So it's not like a sundae? It's a
slushy with candy in it.
Okay. All right. That's a little different,
I guess. I've never had one. You know what's
gross? You ever had those drinks... It's one of Austin's favorites, so you better be nice.
You ever had those drinks where they put in
the balls of stuff and they float around in
there and then they burst? It's called sperm. Yeah, they
burst in your mouth. It's boba tea. It's disgusting.
Oh, hold on. There's like
a lot of German candies that
come in there. Like they put some sort of
rums and they inject
them in these chocolate filled...
Yeah, but I think there's regular ones where they have
like little cherry balls and strawberry
balls and lemon balls. I think the boba tea is Asian, isn't it?
It's gross. The boba tea is.
There's those little tapioca
pellets in there. That's gross. God.
I'm going to have like cherry flavor
bursting out. I went to one of those
Asian markets with my daughter Madeline
and we bought some boba tea and
we're drinking it down. They have those
oversized straws and I stuck
it in there and it's like you suck it up. It's like
all those little boba pellets
go in your mouth and I do this one
little...
like stuck to the back of my throat.
I can totally
see that. I can totally see that. That's a
total choking hazard. I was about to die
and all of a sudden I get it out and it like
shoots out of my mouth and it sticks to the side
of this box in the middle of my mouth.
Gross.
So gross.
Someone found that and went
God, what is that?
Sorry. What color was it? Because they
have all kinds of colors. It was blueberry colored.
That's gross.
Did it taste good at least?
I enjoy the
regular boba
tea flavor.
I've never had.
They have morphed
into these flavors and they
have a variety.
It's like some tart flavors.
It doesn't really matter what flavor it is.
It's got that tart. It doesn't matter. They can call it
watermelon peach. It's got very little influence.
It's just got this basic
core taste of sweet and sour
and they add like a hint of something.
I don't know how they encapsulate
in those little gel things.
Needle syringe.
Someone filling every ball up.
In the back room.
We need more balls!
Any more licorice balls?
Your story reminds
me of when I was in elementary school
and we were
going to a national forest
and for some reason my cousin
that I didn't really know very well but he's much older
and he's got a
Mustang that's blue
inside and out.
He's so proud of his Mustang.
Blue carpet.
They call it the blueberry. Oh, blue everything.
We're going up in the mountains.
It's windy, windy, windy. I'm getting sick.
I'm getting car sick. And yes, I threw up in his back seat.
And guess what I had
eaten that morning? Spaghetti.
Booberries. Oh, nice. I absolutely
shit you not. So I blended it.
What are the odds of I'm in a blue
car and I eat a blue cereal and I throw up,
blue throw up in his car? Was it the
Booberries?
Booberries? Booberries.
There was like Frankenstrawberry.
Frankenberry, Chocula.
Chocula. Chocula.
Those things are so bad for you. But they're so good.
I know. They come out still every year.
For some reason that made me think of my Booberry throwing up
and can you imagine how horrified he was?
He was a teenager and he's like,
I'll drive him up to the park and
he'll go
and he'll go and eat.
Who hasn't thrown up in a car?
I have not.
You know I have.
Well, I mean, that's kind of a loaded question.
I mean, I've gotten intoxicated.
It wasn't, I didn't throw up
because of the car.
In the car.
You know. Yeah, I have not.
You couldn't help it. It just happened.
No, I've never had. That was the only time.
That just happened there. Yeah, I was a kid.
But that was the only time. I've been very thankful.
I've been able to dodge all those bullets.
I've had a friend hang out the window
and puke down the side of my car because
I was going down the street. That's awesome.
And you know how the wind just kind of blew it right back
onto the car.
It's all over the back window
and it's all on the side of the face.
I had him clean it.
Whatever. Because it dries
into like puke cement.
I told him, you need to go out and clean my car now.
It's a polymer.
It is. It's extremely
They should sell that at Home Depot.
It's like Gorilla Glue.
Yeah, puke cement. Puke cement.
It was. It was nasty. Yeah.
Been there, done that. Puke.
That's the worst. That's forever. Been there, done that.
Bonfire 1990.
I don't know. Two. Puke cement.
Yes, puke cement out the side of my friend's car.
Oh.
If you don't get it quick, it's
you have to get it quick.
I bet. I've got to be very
I'm very thankful. I have a very limited
amount of times that I've actually
thrown up due to being drunk.
I don't know. It's because I'm a loser.
And my body can handle it.
Maybe it's because I'm Irish.
Or maybe I just don't
drink that much. I just get drunk.
That's not it. Definitely not that one.
Scratch that one off the list. That one's not it.
Yeah, I remember. I was with a group of people
and we were in an Uber and it was like a lot of us.
So it was like a van or something.
And somebody was not feeling well.
And the driver like
whipped his head around.
No, no, no.
And he's like fired off
the freeway. We're like, oh, who's shit?
And then he like
pulls off on the on the feeder
road, but not off like on a side
road on the feeder.
And we're like, we don't feel safe.
And he's like, he's not puking
in my car. He's not puking in my car. And then
he had an accident. Yeah, he did.
And then yeah, he got out
He got out and was like not
puking. But and it wasn't it wasn't alcohol.
It was heat stroke
or heat exhaustion. Oh, he didn't have
AC on. He fainted. He went.
You know that lava cantina? Yeah. It was during
the summer. Oh, do we know this guy?
And he passed out. Yeah, I think I know this guy. And he passed out there.
Too much lava. And we need to get
him home. We actually think it was
dehydration because it
was hot and we were dancing. And
you know, that's the only thing that they were
Remember him? Now you remember that story? I remember.
That dude freaking out. And we were getting mad at the driver. We were like
you're not stopping here because we're not safe here.
Right. I
actually, you know, he's been through this
before. Yeah, he's been through this before.
I'm sure they all have. I remember. I
did throw up. It was one time
it was a long it was when
I was like, I want to say pre-Junior
high.
You know how you go on one of those class trips?
It's one of those things where your
class goes away for a weekend.
And they go to a nature camp. Right.
And we went to a nature camp
and we
camp Kern. Camp Kern. I don't even
remember the camp that we went to. But
it was it was cool. I mean, all I can remember
is we went
fishing a lot. We did a, you know,
kickball, blah, blah, blah.
Oh, yeah. Don't drink out
of the faucets.
Mixed with fecal matter. Well,
it's not Mexico. It's non-podable
water. Don't drink out of the faucets because I guess
they have a natural spring or something.
It just wasn't treated. So it
wasn't sewage. It's just not
potable. So, you know,
we had
we had it gone out.
We were playing kickball and I go back inside to take
a pee and I was dying of thirst. And there was no
one around. I was so thirsty.
So I quenched myself
in the bathroom sink.
Drinking up and then we're about to leave
and we get in the bus and all
I had for breakfast that morning was some
peach cobbler or something like that. Did it taste
nasty? Water? No, it
tasted like water.
So I get in the bus and I regurgitate
everyone
was mortified. I regurgitated
my peach, the peach cobbler I had.
All over the bus?
Yeah, I was
in the very front but I was near the
front and I went up to the teacher while we were driving
and I was like, I'm getting guys to puke.
And he was like, oh, get right here.
And I was like, and all of a sudden
kibbles and bits. Peach bottle.
So he ended up pulling over and
he was like, oh, my gosh, they're going to
put me in the bus.
So we went to a
grocery store. He bought
cat litter. Kitty litter.
Kitty litter. Oh, yeah, it
soaks it up. Kitty litter all over the whole thing.
It kind of cured it, but yeah,
that was the experience.
What was the smell?
Oh, it was pungent. I'm sure.
You get all the smell. Yeah, it's a stomach acid.
Have you
anybody thrown up on a
like he has a story. Hold on, where it gets on people and stuff? Like, yeah. Yeah.
Can you imagine? No, I haven't. Can you imagine being in one of the cars and the people up in front of you?
There's pictures out there. Up on you? I haven't, but my college roommate did.
Okay. Mr. Producer, look for that picture online. No. There's pictures. Like, you know how they
snap the pictures? A type of roller coaster throwing up. Yeah. Oh, wow. There was one of my partners.
We went to Six Flags and actually it was Fantasia Land and this was in Germany and he was behind me.
So I was unaffected. Just, you know, so I hear this. It's all, it was like in this hair, he had long hair.
But puked. Oh, come on. That's disgusting. Can you imagine getting hit in the face?
Like you're just on a car back on the, on the, on the, you know, the roller coaster train.
And that was a memory Fantasia Land Germany. I got to look that up. Wow. There it is. Oh no.
There we go. Oh, there's, we're looking at a variety of pictures. No, no, no. Throwing up.
And it's just, okay. Things not to search for. The peach, the peach clued me in on this memory
that I had memory hold. But so, look at this guy. Is that a guy throwing up on another guy?
Oh my God. Is that a girl? That's his date. Oh my God. It's got a nice swirl to it, like a hurricane.
Look at him drip. Looks like he's just wrenching. Look at his arm. He's just like, oh, he's like in
mid wrench. Oh, okay. He's all hunched over. Okay. Finish your story. My story? Get rid of those pictures.
All right. So we don't think about this anymore. Well, our producer wanted us. He was like, I don't
think that's a good idea. I didn't say new or anything like that. All right. Sorry. I did a
summer semester at A&M and showed up, got assigned a roommate, you know, in Cocker Hall, right?
I don't know exactly where that is. So my friend, my friend Ron came up with me and we were going to
go drop off my stuff and then go to Astroworld the next day because it's not that far. Right.
And he looks at the picture because my roommates already moved in and he goes, I recognize that
girl. Oh, wait, you're rooming with Peaches. That was his nickname. Okay. And I don't know why they
called him Peaches, but we called him Peaches. But we knew him from high school. He was probably
really a girl. No. Yeah, that's not a flattering nickname. No, it's not a flattering nickname.
At all. No, but anyway, so he showed up. We said, hey, let's go across the street to the chicken
and we start drinking beers and whatever. Then we're going to get up in the morning, go to
Astroworld, have fun, come back. Oh, God. And we invite him because we know him. Right. And
he goes, yeah, okay. So he goes with us, drinks like a beer. Okay. And he's not that big of a guy.
Right. And so his tolerance level is zero. One beer. He has a beer. And he didn't feel good
coming home. And in the morning, we're like, do you want to go because we're going to ride
roller coasters and stuff like that. He's like, no, no, no, I got it. I got it. And so we went
to McDonald's, you know, right there on college. And we, he threw up in the restroom there.
And we're like, one beer. Well, this is the next morning. The next morning. Yeah. I don't know.
This guy doesn't drink. Okay. It was like the beer that you were turning down at the start of
podcast. It was a botulism beer. Maybe it was a botulism beer. Maybe. Yeah, maybe that's what it
was. But I'm certain that beer is not good. But we're like, you sure you want to go? No, I'll be
fine by the time we get there. So we drive him down there. He's in the back seat curled up in a ball
on the floor. And he gets in, we get in, we ride one roller coaster, the loop and starship. Remember
that one? Yes. It goes back and forth until it loops. Right. Yes. And yeah, he threw up. He hurled.
Yes. On the ride. On the ride. And we're like, okay, you're. Did it land on anybody? You're
done riding. It was more of a self own. On himself. And it rolled, because it was orange juice and
pancakes. Oh, hey. From McDonald's, right? We have got to get off this time.
But yeah, so we told him you're done riding for today. You can, you know, just ride the teacups
or something. I don't know. You gotta be terrible too, spinning around. Go pull up a spot of grass
and take a. Yeah, take a nap or something. Yeah. But wait, wait, because it was my buddy's last
weekend before he had back surgery and he was never going to be able to ride because he's six
foot eight and he had a metal rod inserted in his back. And he's never going to get inside the
harness of a roller coaster ever again. Right? Yeah. Yeah. I don't blame him. Yeah. So anyway.
Wow. Where are we? Peaches? Well, hold on. So I want to, I want to break away from this and go back
to the our drink. And part of this drink of the Okan Eden toasted a little bit toasted.
There you go. The bourbon and spire. So it's not a proof, but really makes this thing.
Let me just get down to the book. Jeff got a new fridge.
I say what? Yes. Fridge. So we don't. We have really. We really have a cube or spire in our
drinks, but we are today and it's paying off. Yeah. I mean, because typically we don't have we
don't ice our bourbon down when we do our tastings. We just taste it and drink. It tastes fantastic.
And Jeff got a new refrigerator and it produces these spheres, these ice spheres. Yeah. And you
got a what? Like an eight thousand dollar refrigerator. Wait, would you call it a.
It's twenty three thousand. Oh, twenty. Call it a cube. Well, well, yeah. Ice chunk. It's a
round ball. The Death Star, you know. Right. Yeah. Have you ever seen the video of Pelosi
where she's showing off her kitchen and her really expensive refrigerator? Yeah.
Or Sub-Zero. It's not a Sub-Zero. It's the exact same one that Pelosi has.
It's a refrigerator. Negative. Yeah. Only he has three. Right. No kidding. Oh my God.
I should have said that. She did have two, didn't she? I don't know. She had side by side.
Yeah. When they when they did that thing of where she did her tour, they were like,
so out of touch. So disconnected. They're anyway.
So bandwidth on their planet. But super cool. Your refrigerator makes spires.
Yeah. So our sphere looks any craft ice here. You're drinking a bourbon. Look, I mean,
some bourbons are, you know, they they they some people don't have a couple.
I'm trying to say they just taste better with a with a cube. Absolutely. And,
you know, it's like if you take a and that's what they do anyways. They water it down. So if you have
a cast strength and you would say your bourbon hundred and twenty proof or 120 proof. And
typically what they do to get it down to 90 proof is they water it down. They do. So anyways,
right now, this with the cube on there, that's a cold. It's mellow. Yeah. And plus the temperature
wise, if you were to take this bourbon and pop it in the freezer overnight and then serve it,
it's got a different texture. It does. And it goes down a little bit smoother. I mean,
there's all kinds of crazy stuff that we could do with this without, I mean, without the ice.
I'm just amazed that we have drank I would say more than half a bottle and there's only four of
us. Yeah. I guess Julie had us. She had a little bit. She had the most actually.
No, no. Well, you basically gave us a three ounce pour each. Well, that's because Paul was whining.
Was this all we're going to get? Hold on. We put the sphere in the glass and then you poured like
a half a shot in there. I was like, um, it needs to cover like the majority of the sphere.
That's the way it's supposed to hold on. I think Jeff's watch is talking. My watch decided we got
to mute our conversation. Yeah. Anyway, so, uh, I, I think I just felt like it needed to cover.
Did you finish your drink? Most of the sphere. Oh, no, I have not. Oh, no, I have not. You know
what? I want to get back to something you said. I mean, people drink their bourbon. There's so many
different ways. People have it with water in lemon. People have it with just a cube. People
have it straight. People have it. There's a bourbon soda. A million different sodas. There's a
old fashioned. There's a press. There's a bourbon old fashioned. I'm a manhattan. I am glad that we
don't, that we don't judge that. You know what I mean? Because I think, I mean, because there are,
I'm sure there are some people, depending on how good the bourbon is, if it's a really nice bourbon,
it's not a mixer. Right? We've talked about that. How difficult it is to make the drink. If it's
like a difficult one, I'll go on a limb and say that some of the manhattans and the old fashions
are kind of a pain in the ass to make because there are, there are ingredients that that you
got, you have to actually put in the correct amount of measurements in there to make it taste
good. It's not bad. I mean, simple syrup and bitters, right? I mean, it's actually, it's not bad,
but your point is it's more than, more than pouring the bourbon and dropping in a cube.
Well, yeah, I mean, I'm just, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm a pure. I don't know if I've ever
done the manhattan. I want to say it's almost the same thing. I think they did an old fashioned.
Yeah. There's a slight difference between the two. I'm not sure what it is. Sugar, I think is
maybe the difference. Why don't you look up the difference between a manhattan and an old fashioned.
Well, I know the old fashioned, you'll have the cherry in it and typically like an orange slice
or a simple sir. Right. Yeah. I don't know if the manhattan has the fruit fruit, fruit, but they both
have a fashion is made with whiskey, bourbon, rye, a bitters and sugar. A manhattan is traditionally
made with rye whiskey and substitutes a sweet vermouth for the sugar. Manhattan is made with,
okay, they're the differences. I've got some sweet vermouth down there. Manhattan is made with sweet
vermouth, whereas old fashioned is made with sugar. Okay. You just covered that. Manhattan's a dry
cocktail with savory notes, whereas old fashioned is a sweet cocktail. Okay. Manhattan is served in
a coop straight up. Coupe. Coupe by a simoleon. Simoleon. Whereas, whereas old fashioned is served
in a rocks glass. See, there's so much, you know, actually, actually, actually, when you get back to
the like, that was probably older times, right? Like 40s, 50s, 60s, where you were sophisticated.
Yeah, the rocks. The glass had to be right. The ingredients had to be perfect. There was
a sophistication to it, an arrogance to it. Right. A bar cart. You had the crystal. Right. I think
we've moved outside of the rich and famous. We have probably moved past the sophistication of
how you're supposed to be drinking drinks. Right. So that's supposed to shoot it. Well, we like to
shoot it or butt chug it. I don't remember butt chugging. What the hell? You don't think the rich
famous did that? Alfred, please pass another cube. The rich and famous. You think they butt chug.
Well, who knows? Wow. If you're on Jackass, you do. Yeah. Oh, that's so gross. They're rich and famous.
Yeah, they have a. Well, Jeff introduced us to what do you call it? A bong, right? They have a butt bong.
Butt luge. So gross. No, that's because I had to. I didn't see it, but you did. You saw it. You were
a product of it. Just tell us the truth. A product of it. Yes. No, that happened that night. God. That's when the
booze started flowing. I left at like three o'clock. Yeah, whatever. Then the party started. Just own up to it, man.
You've got a permanent scar of graminet on your back, the back trail. Yeah, it stained your butt
crack. It's like a tail. Yeah. A whale tail. No, no, I didn't. He has a permanent stain on his skin.
That's so gross. Wadsworth, bend over. I want to do another butt luge. That's nasty.
Oh, fantastic. Yeah. All right. So that's the bourbon we're drinking. It's not bad. It's even
better on a cube. And I wonder now if that's something we should do more of. I think so. We
have the ability to do it now. Yeah, it's very exciting. I got to admit it made me want to
buy another refrigerator. Yeah, Sean popped a boner down there when he realized. I did. You know,
they have like ice trays that make this as well. There's a difference when you open up the bottom
tray and there are a bunch of little balls in there that are ice. They're big balls. Yeah.
You just, all you do is pick one up and pop it in your drink. That's the one I want. Yeah. The ones
I have at my house are these plastic rubbery things and you got to fill it up. You got to stick
it in there and sometimes they seep out the side and leak all over your. I'm with you. It's just,
come on. I mean, look, it's a no brainer. But here's the thing. I'm holding out until I can
buy one that has like eight different shapes. I want a triangle. You want the decahedron. I
want a dodecahedron. Dodecahedron. Octagon. Ice cube. I want a snowflake. Yes, a gigantic snowflake.
Each one is unique. Three dimensional. You want the Death Star. Yeah. Well, the Death Star.
That'd be perfect. Well, they come out kind of like a Death Star. Yeah, these kind of look like.
We could do the Monopoly. Monopoly, what do you call them? The icons of Monopoly. You can do a
boot. A boot. A boot. Ice cube. An iron. A thimble. We went to this last week. A race car. A little dog.
A little dog. A wheelbarrow. A hat. Did you say a top hat? Is that a top hat? Yeah. There you go.
You could have the Monopoly refrigerator. Hotel. So I noticed I was shopping at Walmart and they,
actually, I don't know where I was at, but they had different Monopoly games for Frisco, Texas.
Yes, they do. We have it. Oh yeah. Yeah, they're very customized. I thought that was cool. It is.
I've got it downstairs. Do you really? Wow. Is it like updated for the 200 and. Frisco. 20,000 people.
2021 version. Yeah. Yeah, Friscoopoly right there. I got that downstairs. Wow. Or does it still have,
you know, stuff that's long gone? Well, it's just like Monopoly, but the. Does it have the. But the.
Tower with the raccoon on there. Still off of Preston. Frisco Coons. Yeah, it said Coons and they made
them change it. Yeah, that's crazy. Because the one got offended. And they made the first school,
right, was the Frisco Coons, the very first high school, and they made them change that. The fighting
Coons. Yeah, the fighting Coons. Yeah, I get it, but at the same time, it's an animal. I know it's an
animal. Ammonimal. It's an animal. I get it. I get it. It's a raccoon. I mean, I get it, but that they
call black folk Coons. Oh boy. But it. Come on, man. That's not what they mean. This is not a
derogatory term. It was a raccoon. Right. Man, we're catering to too much of that. So, you know, I
actually did a. That happened a long time ago. I did a. 20 years ago. Construction job. Right. And
the client was Dr. Owen Coons. And I had an English teacher named Mrs. Coon. No, he was actually,
he worked for NASA and he was a flight surgeon for the Apollo program. And he was, he's quite the
character. And Dwight Owen Coons was his whole name. And his initials is an acronym for Doc.
All right. So he was a flight surgeon for the Apollo programs, the earlier ones. Nice. And,
you know, back there is a large photo in his house of the Earth that was taken by the astronauts
out from space. And they autographed it. And it said to Nig, N-I-G, because that was his nickname.
Oh my gosh. See, back in the 50s, 60s, 70s, it was OK. It was acceptable. Wow. That was, but it's kind
of like, I saw that. And his wife, because at that point, his Dwight, Dr. Coons had passed away,
but his wife was, you know, and then she actually said the word. Right. And I was kind of like,
yeah, I already knew that. But it's just something. I mean, look, this was a big photograph. It was
it was like the size of a poster. And it was a real autograph. And they all autographed it.
Like Buzz Aldrin. Yeah. But that's exactly Edwin. Edwin. Like Buzz Aldrin.
You know, but it was just kind of cool. And it's just like, you're not going to find that picture
at the Smithsonian. You know, the movie, the right stuff or anything like that. They should
put something like that at the Smithsonian because it is absolutely a sign of the times.
Yeah. You know, it really is. It's a it's a mark and it's a mark. And it just it was amazing to neg.
And then, you know, it was a different time. It was it was a different time. And I could go
into more stories about it. But the reason why I bring that up is maybe it was a good idea to get
rid of as much as I want to fight wokeism, which I do. Maybe this one will give to him about the
raccoons and the coons. Well, yeah, because it's offensive to them. Well, I mean, well,
it's just like the Washington Redskins. Yeah. How far do you go? Let's just avoid it if we can.
It's a slippery slope. Avoid it if we can. I'll get rid of the coons. It's a slippery slope.
I'll get rid of the coons because people call black people coons as a derogatory term. They call
Indians redskins. Well, no, we called them redskins as a derogatory term back in the 17th century.
So it's far enough back that. Yeah, I mean, it doesn't matter. Nobody gives a look. The redskins
were damn proud to have the NFL team. I know. Yeah, the logo itself was designed by Native American
Indians and they were exceptionally proud of it. And here's the thing. We got rid of Indians, too.
Right. Right. They're the Cleveland Guardians or some guardians. Garbage like that. The
Swann O'Lakes is now the swan of lakes butters missing the Indian. You guys, y'all were talking
about the Olympics and bringing up Squaw Valley. You can't say Squaw anymore. It's just valley.
Yeah, it's just valley now. Again, I don't understand how that's offensive. It's no different
than taking Mrs. Butterworth off the syrup. Or the Land O'Lakes Indian. How were they offensive?
We were paying tribute to those people. So now there's no black or Native people.
Only white people. Mrs. Butterworth. Her whole family, she was like one of the first millionaires.
And they got rich. And they were exceptionally proud of her legacy. You know what? Why didn't
we see a story of where Aunt Jemima's family was very offended that they removed them? Were they?
We don't know. They're not going to show because it doesn't fit the narrative. It sucks because
this gets into the politics part and it just kind of pulls my frickin' skrn. I know. Is it grind your
gears? Oh, it grinds my gears. So here's the joke is Land O'Lakes, it's truly American now because
it got rid of the Andeans and kept the land. That's offensive. I see what you did there. I see what
I did there too. What they did. Folks, look, I mean, take a pause. And we want to say, excuse me,
the mystery has been solved. We've been for the last three, four podcasts, Paul has been missing
his koozie. Yes. Oh, yeah. He's been out of sorts. It has just recently populated. We have no idea
where it came from. It was here. Jeff is saying, oh, well, you found it last time. He did. He found it
last time. I don't believe it. I think you're full of shit. No, no, I did. He did. Oh, you did? I
just don't remember. Dammit, I wanted to blame Jeff. I just didn't remember. Son of a bitch.
You gave you gave me so much of that. Whatever we were drinking, the bourbon we were drinking
last time, you gave me so much with that rumble you found in the backyard next to a ham sandwich.
Yeah, I stumbled out into my normal spot and there it was and your phone.
And you write my wallet, my keys. I found all sorts of shit in that hole. Oh, boy. Wow. Well,
glad I'm thankful that you found your koozie. Yes, all is right in the world. He fucking took
mine. Yeah, he was upset the last couple of weeks. I think they're trying to push me up. Chuck,
what do you think? They're trying to phase me out. I think Sean was ready to start with the koozie.
Buy him one because you were so much. I looked online. They didn't sell them online. Well,
I mean, they didn't sell them on Amazon. I wasn't going to set up an account with the bearded butchers.
Wow, because that's a lot to do. So if it really would have made me happy, you still wouldn't have
done it. Go out there and set up an account and buy me a koozie. How do you know? Because you already
said you didn't do it. Well, that doesn't mean I wouldn't have done it. You didn't. It's irrelevant.
In this theoretical scenario, you failed me. It's a moot point right now.
All right. So we're winding down the year, gentlemen. We're winding down fucking fantasy
football. And I got tons of fuck off. No, no, no. Wound down. You're done. You're out. Oh, yeah.
No, I'm still playing because I'm in the playoffs. But you two gentlemen didn't seem to get there.
No, they didn't make it. And there's 12 teams. I picked some elite players, elite players. And
look, look, it's tough. I'm telling you, we and like you said, we have 12 players in our league.
And it gets diluted really fast. When you have that many players or that many teams on your fantasy
football, in your fancy football league, the talent is thin. Yeah, the talent is thin. And
the waiver wire is razor thin. It's tough, too. Well, here's the quarterback. You're done. But
here's the great thing about having 12 teams, like the vast majority of make the playoffs,
at least eight out of the 12 make the playoffs. So that's what's nice about having 12. But
you're not in and you're not in here. I think Paul got very lucky to get in. You did not deserve.
You should have lost at least another five games. I had the fourth highest points. No. Yes, I did.
No. I think here's the other thing is you're playing. You're playing with fire going into the
playoffs now. Don't I know. Oh, no, no. Oh, no. I'm going to get bounced from the first round.
OK, no, no. Trust me. I'm not making them feel bad about your considering money. Just making
the playoffs. I gave up on my team when my quarterback got minus three points and my running
back got zero points. The same game. And I think I topped out at 27 points this week. I'm surprised.
That was your that was you have for the total score. So yeah, twenty three. Terrible. That has to be
a little money for that Lamar Jackson got hurt. James Robinson got pulled to get zero points.
And he played against the Titans. Wow. Titans. It was terrible. It was there. I had zeros.
I was just like, what are you guys doing? What are you going to do? Did you have a conference
call with your team? I should have. I think during the game, if your quarterback gets hurt,
you should be able to sub in. That is the weakest, weakest waving the white flag I've ever seen.
But this one is actually a real one. No, it is. I think I think the fact that they wait to make
their game time decisions to call the covid is bullshit. That upset me. I had somebody that
didn't play. Yeah. And I was like, I mean, they just like, oh, yeah, he's got covid. And they don't
tell you to the fucking day of. Right. Because I guess they give them a covid test that morning
and that they passed and they're good. Yeah. And not all of us can sit around. They publish it.
And by that time, refresh, refresh, refresh, refresh. Yeah. Yeah. That's what Barry does.
Well, it's eleven fifty and he still didn't make the playoffs. I know. Poor Barry.
He's like, he tried everything. In fact, he's in fact, he had to make a little comment. I had
most points against me again. Look at me. I'm still great, but I lost. Chuck, do you play
fantasy at all? Yeah. At work, of course. Right. And I'm the commish. OK, thanks. I'm the commish
and I came in like 10th. So there's no collusion there. Yeah. I think fantasy football. No
provable collusion. Fantasy football is a lot of luck. Oh, tons of luck. A lot of luck. I had I had
like four quarterbacks go down week after week in the middle of the game. Right. You know, Ben
Roth for gone, you know, Lamar Jack. Yeah, there there. There are definitely strategic decisions you
make during the season that set you up for for the possibility of having a win, a breakout win.
Right. Yeah. But like when it like somebody goes down, it's so hard. You got to be right on it
to like get the backup. Right. I mean, you got to be right on it. Right. And then, you know,
and we don't have wide open waiver wires. We have wires. We have very, very strict. You get one.
You get one pick up. Yeah. And if you're in the top, the top group, you have to get picked later.
If you're in the bottom group, you get to pick first on Wednesday. One pick Wednesday. The thing
is, the waiver wire is smart about there's no one out there. I know. Well, like I said, unless you
score backups, I think there's no one out there. You get lucky. You get a guy that gets put on IR
that you get. You should get an additional pickup.
It's just my opinion. I agree with that. After immediately after the draft, if you drafted him
and you had no idea that he had a broken leg during the preseason. No, I just think after the
draft. But anyway, we can talk about that at the next gathering, the gathering of the elders.
I think we need to look at the covenants of the league covenants. Well, Barry has them.
Do a 83 percent vote alters it whenever it's convenient. He'll make alterations to make sure
he doesn't come in second to last next year. Well, you don't want to slip into the last place.
Good Lord. And you know what? You guys booked is so horrible.
Fuck you. I'm really disappointed. I thought you guys understood the game of football.
Oh, OK. What about my players was bad teams. Lamar Jackson. Really? Dude, I got to you got to be.
I got to be plus. You did. That's true. OK. I mean, come on. It doesn't mean anything. It doesn't.
Every week, my projected points were 100 points or higher. And I come in at freaking 40 points,
60 points. And I think I got 27 points. You got to see. So you were going to lose no matter what.
Yeah, we knew you saw. So, you know, it's from the get go. It's bullshit.
All right. I was going to go over significant events as we wrap up the year.
One of them is Sean and Jeff not making the playoff. What day? Check. Check, babe. Yeah,
we already covered that. OK, never mind. We'll go over the other events later.
All right. Yeah, because I went out there today to go, OK, who am I playing next?
I was like, oh, you have no games. You didn't even have a consolation bracket.
You didn't even know you had played it. I even called Paul and I was like, Paul,
you did. We need to have a conversation. We need to think about the better good.
And I was just like, if I lose and if I lose and dream, what's your name? Dream Crusher.
Dream Crusher loses and Barry wins. He's going to make the eighth seat, which will make allow
him to be into playoffs. Right. We can't have that. Yeah. So I don't know. I don't know what
he was implying. Like I was going to be able to do throw the game somehow. I was implying that you
could have played a subpar player. Right. Is what I was saying, because it doesn't matter if you
would have lost. Anyway, I crushed him like a bug. You did crush me. You had a six point lead. I
destroyed him. The only thing to make my point. So he was just to make my point. I wanted to get
into the playoffs is what it was. No, no, no. We wanted Barry to lose. Barry still lost. So it
worked out. You're so evil. Yeah. So harsh. Such schadenfreude. I'm a dick. You know, it is a fun
hobby, though. Fantasy football during sighting during the during the excited. We never did our
mid mid season excursion. Yeah. To Boomer Janix. Yeah, I think I think it is a really good way to
stay in touch with guys that you don't normally stay in touch with. And it's it's a fun thing to,
you know, to get excited about Sunday football, especially with red zone now or no. Yeah. Red zone
never watched it. What is that? It's awesome. Yeah. Direct TV. Oh, yeah. Well, it's actually
it's on YouTube TV. Red zone is on a lot of stations. You're going to drop YouTube TV.
Yes, we're talking about doing it. With the dude with the satellite dishes for ears. Yes. Yeah. He
does have big ears, doesn't he? I can't believe you guys have never seen Red Zone. So basically,
it bounces around from game to game to game. And if any team gets into the red zone, they hop to
that game and then they'll split it to two. There you go. Split it to two, split it to four, split
it to eight. If there's eight games in the red zone and it you catch every single big play,
every single touchdown, every single field goal, every scoring play and no commercial and no
commercial. No shitting. No commercial commercials. How much is that? So you literally watch it for
seven hours straight with no commercials. Yeah. It's actually brilliant for fantasy football.
It's absolutely brilliant. Yeah, it's necessary. Yeah. If you're single. No, you don't have to be
single. Like Brian, Brian sits there and watches seven hours straight every Sunday. Look, you're
going to watch football. Your wife's not going to watch it anyway. So why not watch constant
football as opposed to football for 30 seconds, two minute commercial. Yeah. The football for four
plays. I'm two and a half minute commercial, but it's bullshit for fantasy football and football
lovers. It's a game changer, man. It's awesome. So it's good stuff. Speaking of hobbies, I'm just
going to ask you guys being dudes like us, you might, you know, so I think at our age, a lot of
us are common kind of coming into the age where we're empty nesters, right? Jeff, you're already
there. I'm there. You're already an empty nester. That's, that's unbelievable to me. I've got one
left who's a 16 year old and I'll be, but I'll tell you what, he's gone so often that we feel
like empty nesters, right? Same here. Same here. Same as you. You can walk the house nude.
Well, we did anyway, even when the kids were home, I mean, because we're kind of like Dutch,
like European. We feel that way. Right. You give good deep body hugs. Oh, group hugs, group hugs.
Yeah. All together. Keep the love in the family. Totally appropriate. Like not in a weird way. No
sack touches. Yeah. We don't touch sacks. I feel like I'm on Lolita Island. What is wrong with you?
You're the one who brought it up. Yeah. You don't touch sacks. You don't do long hugs. I mean,
it's like you've thought about this stuff. Oh, I did not. Anyway, Sean, what about you? So you,
so Mr. Producer is your, your youngest. I just got blasted to Epstein Island. I don't know.
Anyway, so my point is we're all reaching that empty nester thing. Well, I, uh, it did the
opposite. You're going backwards. My, my, yeah, I, you added, I gained a person. Anytime an older one
leaves, a younger one leaves, the older one comes back. I've got four children. I've got girl, girl,
boy, boy. And, um, I had, uh, at one point both girls had moved out and, uh, Preston was in college,
in college. So he was out and I was like, Oh my God, this is happening. This is real. Now you get
into the end. Now they're all back. So literally all four of them. Welcome back. Welcome back.
Brought her roommate with her. Oh, now we got friends living with them. Yeah. So now it's very,
I don't know if I should talk about it, so I won't, but, um, it's, it's, uh, whatever. We've
got a full house and you know, my son was, uh, Preston bought a golden retriever, which is,
is a great dog. He needs to be trained, but it's hyper, hyper, hyper. It's a, it's a puppy. It's
not even a year old. And, uh, I got, I got a story to tell you about a dog, but let me, let me chime
and get this really quick to, to, to summarize what's going on my house. So I've got, I've got
two adult, two mom and dad, right? Then we got four kids. We got a roommate. We have a cat
that stays upstairs. You love the cat. Uh, I like the cat, but I hate cat. I wish the cat were gone.
Um, so, uh, the rule is no dogs upstairs because that's the cat's domain, but my daughter,
the oldest has her dog. It's a corgi and she brought it with her. She's like, I have to have
it up there. It pisses me off, but it's up there, you know, but I don't let it free range up there.
It's just got to go straight in her room, straight downstairs. So how does your daughter sound again?
What does she say? And we have a ginger, which is a multi poo. So we have a golden retriever,
which we didn't ask for. I think ginger is what? 800 years old. Corgi. Ginger. It's a petrified
poor ginger. She looks like a crack whore. I mean, she's, she's extremely old. She's got this, this
eye that's looks like glaucoma. It looks like she's got nut eye from a, from a whore. She looks like
Kathy Griffin. She got mad at her. Her hair's all matted and nasty and yeah. Well, and then, um,
you know, she reminds me of the grouchy old lady on golden girls. Yeah. You know what I'm talking
about? The one that's like, she's about six pounds, but you can hear her bark down the street. It's so
high pitched. My dog's very loud, but so is ginger. So I keep going. Well, we got a full house. I mean,
not only do we have, um, four children and we have three dogs, a cat, and it's just,
it's just an ensemble of loss. It's a zoo. It's doctor fucking do little. It's just so anyways,
I, um, yesterday morning, Terry goes to work and she calls me immediately after she leaves the house.
She says, Hey, um, there's this black collie and it was, uh, it was running around. So I grabbed it.
Oh, no. I put it in the car. I told it to sit. It sat. I told it to come here. It came here. It,
we're just going to put it in the car. So she puts it in the car and she, I get up. I'm like, oh,
fuck. I bring the dog in dogs, cute dogs. I'm going crazy now. And so I put them in the backyard.
Fine. Um, I call it animal control. The dog is chipped. Uh, we find out who the owner is.
They're like three doors up, four doors up, not big deal. It's usually what the case is.
Right. This dog is pretty smart. Um, so it's a collie. It's a black collie. It's very cute.
And, um, while it was in the backyard, it, uh, it learned how to open up the back door. He knows
how to open up doors. Oh wow. Okay. So that was yesterday. Today, this morning, um, the dog is at
my front door. Opening the door. No, at seven 30 in the morning. You had already, you already
gave it back to the neighbors. Yeah. Cause we called the animal control. Did you give it the
code to your front door? So at seven 30, the dogs are fucking going ape shit. I don't know what the
hell's going on. So, you know, I still have, I still have the lady's phone number in my phone.
So I'm calling her at seven 30 in the morning. So your dog's, uh, and I opened the door. She's
walking up anyways. And she's like, I saw it. And I go to do, uh, my inspection. I come back around
three, three 30. I, I sit, uh, eat a sandwich. I sit on the couch and kind of decompress for a minute.
I lay down and next thing you know, there's a dog licking my face. You gave it the code. The
fucking dog came through the front door. No, open the front door and shut it. Bullshit. No, the dog
fucking shut the door and they came up to you and licked your face. It was in my face and I was like,
what in the hell is that dog loves you? Yeah. No, what it's saying is save me. It's like abused at
their house or something. What the hell? It desperately wants out. It was a trip. So I call
her back. I call her. I was just like, your dog is here. She's like, you must have some sort of
dog nip at your house. And I was like, I don't know. I don't know. But it was a, it was a weird
experience that the dog opened up my fucking door, helped let himself in. That's unbelievable.
That's the kind of dog you can train to make a drink for you or bring your beer or bring you.
Yeah. Well, I was good. No, I was going past that. This dog can make a Manhattan.
It was sweet for me. I had to open up the door. I had a lock. I had to lock the back door, put the
dog door slot in there. You're moving furniture in front of the, you're sliding the piano over to the
front door. Well, I mean, I deadbolt it now, but it's just funny because the dog walked in the
front door and shut it. That is insane. I got up and looked, I was, because I heard someone at the
door and I was kind of, well, I thought maybe it was a delivery guy dropping an Amazon gift for
Christmas because we got nonstop deliveries. Your Amazon guy licks your face? Yeah. See, that's why he was confused.
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Mr. Producer's laughing at that one. Yeah. Well, yeah, that's a little awkward.
Anyway. Sean's no coward. Must be true. Yeah. He didn't, he didn't refute it. He didn't deny it. Yeah, he didn't.
No, he did not. He did not lick my face. It was kind of a trip though. He just teabags you.
What the hell, man? Yeah. Did you guys touch sacks? My God, Bull. That's what you said earlier.
Earlier or not at Pops. Do you walk around in the nude? Just the tip. Yeah, just put just the tip, Mr. Amazon, man.
God. God, really. That was kind of cool though. It was kind of, because the dog is cute. The dog is cute.
And if we were going to have a dog, it'd be kind of like that. It was just, it was just unexpected.
And at a certain point, I'm kind of like, fuck it. I mean, I've got, it is such a zoo at the house.
We have Bronco. You're going to have him for the next decade. Yeah, he's not going anywhere. Not going anywhere.
Well, at the beginning of the year, he is going to be leaving us for about five or six weeks. For training.
He's going to go upstate to a farm. I don't give a fuck where he goes, but when he comes back, he's, when I, when I say stop, he's going to stop.
Oh, you're, so you are training him. I have to. Yeah, he's, he's, he's, he's a handful. He's a beautiful dog.
He's smart. He's got a lot of stuff going for him. Beautiful dog, lots of energy, but needs to be trained.
Yeah. As he jumps up on people and I don't need, well, he doesn't need to be doing that. Right. No, I got you.
Man, I'm telling you, I'm really enjoying this bourbon. Yeah, it's good. I already finished mine off.
I know that. Very nice. I think the cube did add another layer or something. Yeah, made it very enjoyable.
A lot of, a lot of, a lot of, a lot of richness came out in the bourbon with the open it up.
It sure did with the sphere, with your fancy sphere from your fancy refrigerator.
You know, coronavirus is, is pretty much the staple in 2021. Yeah. And in the fact that it's a farce.
We're Omicron in it. You know what's weird? Omicron in it. That I thought was unique and
and hands off to your son is one of, well, Paul's son Dawson went to the doctor because he was,
I guess he was sick and he refused to take the coronavirus test. And it was like, just give me
a regular flu test. And the flu test came back positive. And so now he can go around saying,
I have the flu. And I, I, I, when the doctor chimed in and said, you know what, I haven't given the flu
test in a year and a half. Right. And I would bet, which was, how was it the Wuhan flu? I bet you
500 bucks. If he had taken the COVID test, it would have been positive. Well, well, I'm sorry.
I don't believe the COVID test. Well, those tests are, are, are not accurate at all. In fact, they,
they tell, I mean, it's out there. They are not accurate. They're not accurate. Elon Musk, Elon Musk
took four in the same day just to prove that point. And they were all different. Well, there's either
positive or. Yeah, they were all different. So positive, then positive, then negative, then positive, then negative.
So two were the same. I mean, two were. Yeah. So they weren't all different. Well, I mean, you know what I'm saying.
There was no consistency to what the test was telling me. Yeah, they're two correct. I know what you mean. Did you see what the
name of his children are? Yeah, I think I remember. Kind of a weird deal. He had a divorce from that mom,
right? Well, is it because of the name of the children? Was he ever married? I don't know, but his children's names. He named his children after the Rorschach tests.
They're AIE or A or something. They look like tool albums or something.
Why do you want to do that to your kids? Give them weird names to where they can't.
They just have to be weird. Oh, yeah. X, A, E, N, A, I. I don't know how you say that. What the hell?
I don't know. Well, I mean, look, dude, Prince has a name. I mean, it's that symbol. Well, here's the thing. They're never going to be normal anyway.
They're never going to be normal. And he's got fucking money. He's got fucking money. So it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if their names were Tim and Ralph and Charles.
I mean, or Frank. And who knows? It doesn't matter. They may have normal names. No, he had a kid that died of SIDS. Yeah, he may call them like Bruce and Tom.
Well, he may have normal. Scroll up a little. Oh, really? A kid died of SIDS? You can't read. He flips. Yeah, he goes so fast. He makes you throw up.
Yeah, yeah. Scroll up a little. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. He's got five sons? Right there. There we go. Six children. He's got six kids. No kidding.
His first child, Nevada Alexander Moss, was born in 2002, two years after he married Canadian author Justin Wilson in 2000. Sadly, he died in just 10 weeks.
Justin or Justine? Yeah, I think it was Justine. Sudden infant death, which is horrible. You don't really know what that is. It could have been him waking up in the middle of the night and choking the kid. Who knows?
I doubt it. Well, sudden infant death, isn't that usually when they asphyxiate for some unknown reason? Yeah, they're on their side or their back or something. Is it back to sleep?
I think it's when they're on their stomach. They're on their stomach and their neck is turned or something like that. Even that has changed, like where they're recommending this and recommending that. They don't know.
They don't know. The bottom line is they really don't know. And they still don't know. They don't know jack shit about anything. Nothing. I wouldn't say anything. They don't know a lot about a lot.
About climate change. Oh, they know a lot about climate change. Oh my God. The fucking tornado that just ripped through the ass of Arkansas and went up into frickin Kentucky. Tennessee and Kentucky.
Oh, it was in Tennessee and Kentucky. And they're sitting there. Who was that? There was a director that ripped the governors and says, well, you fucking deserved it because you know, you Republicans are, you know, you said that?
You said that. Yeah, there were a number of people that blamed Republicans. The bodies are still warm, for God's sakes. I know. He's taking advantage of going, see, this is climate change. He deleted it since then.
That is such bullshit. It's a bullshit premise in the first place. Climate change is a joke. Tornadic disasters have been down since like the beginning of the century. And I'm not talking 2000. I'm talking 1900. And the death rate has been down.
And the weather has nothing to do with the climate. And this bullshit about a 100 year storm that just happens to happen is, and they just take it and they throw the politics at it and it just grinds my gears.
Yeah, it drives me nuts. This was the first F5 tornado in eight years. Yeah. Yeah. And same with hurricanes. There hasn't been a cat above a cat three hit landfall since Katrina until the
recent one, Ida or something like that last year. I know. And it's like, oh yeah, they're going to be more prevalent and blah blah blah and blaming fires, blaming tornadoes, blaming hurricanes on climate change is bullshit.
Well, I blame the fires on California. They don't manage their forest. They're horrible forest management. Yes. I mean, come on, spend your money. It's, oh my God. We could go on and on on this one. It really is. It's just sad.
It makes you know, you know what, though? There are plenty, plenty of scientists that get get total censored and just shut down. Yeah, they get that are on. Oh, they get fact checked by the opinion checkers at Facebook. Right. Right. The opinion checkers.
That came out. I'm sorry. Popping my mic. They just admitted it. But in the court of law, they just admitted their fact checkers are opinion checkers. I know. It doesn't fucking matter. I know.
I just came out. I haven't read that. Yeah, it just came out because John Stossel sued him for for fact checking him. Right. And they said, you know, you have no right to fact check me because I'm talking about climate change and I'm talking about, you know, papers I've read and things like that.
And and fake Facebook came out and says, well, we can have independent fact checkers because they're not really checking facts. They're checking opinions. They're basically supporting opinions and they're independent. So it doesn't really matter. And if you don't face Facebook, if you don't know by now, you're never going to know. You're never going to know.
Facebook's a total farce, man. Well, that's that. It's the it's the whole the whole world with with the climate change. You know, it's like the the Democrats, they they can't even they can't even get cargo off fucking boats. You know, that's because all the regulations, right?
Yes. Regulations regulating the truckers say you can't come into our state without a vaccine or this or that. And there's a comedy of errors and there's regulations about the trucks themselves, right? Like emissions or whatever.
So emissions. So check this out. You got to run every time. So or whatever. Every single time you pass legislation, the the beast of capitalism morphs and they make adjustments. Here's what's happening.
So now there's a rise of companies that have invested in these trucks that are can meet the California regulations. So the trucks go. Listen to this, guys. The trucks go and they pick up. They go to the harbor. They pick up the things and then trucks meet them at the California border at Nevada.
They meet them at the California border and transfer them to normal trucks and then those trucks go back and pick up to the rest of America trucks, the rest of America trucks. So there's California trucks and the rest of America trucks.
And now that and and and that's how they're now they're working out the supply chain with with that in mind. Company there's companies rising with just these trucks.
But you don't cause cancer at a certain point, they just would spend the money on getting conveyor or to or go to a different push it out. Go to a different port. Go to Jacksonville. Go to Texas. Go to Texas. Go to my head or something like that.
Well, we had we were talking to somebody who's just like five weeks ago. Yeah, they're not as big that the the docs in Texas are just as bad. I haven't heard that.
Corpus Christi apparently is positioned to be a major, major mover with rail and everything. Yeah, but they're not backed up, are they?
Well, I mean, I think a big part of it is they're just not going to. Well, the thing is what you have to do is you have to go down to the Panama Canal.
The backup takes five days to get it around the Panama Canal. And if you think about it, the majority of the ship is coming there for 30 days. You might as well go five days to Texas or Florida or whoever.
Right. I just don't think there. I don't think they're changing their supply. The supply path is because most of the stuff's coming from Asia that they spend to get there.
I don't know. I don't have a solution in it, but it's it's just frustrating. It's just frustrating.
And I want to throw stones in. I want to throw that the the Democratic.
Administration, we're just not versed enough in it. Not with not with what this is not with this.
I also heard that the Houston docks, you have to go up a channel to get to them. Yeah. And it's it's not as easy.
No, you have to dredge it constantly. Yeah, it's not as easy in Houston as you think it would be.
You have to like go way up in a channel to get to the docks.
Yep. Well, my father in law knows all about that. The thing.
Oh, yeah, because he was worked for a company.
Well, no, it was a fuel, a marine fuel there.
So they used to the all the tugs and all that bullshit they have to go through to get the docks.
Yep. I do. Yeah.
Yeah, well, you know, it's just there's a lot of frustration.
It is complicated, though. I think there's more to it than like you said, we're not well versed in it.
I think it was a perfect storm of everything. It was it was covid, right?
Because supply was production was damaged by covid.
Yeah, well, the supply backed up. You got politics.
You got regulation. And when they shut down the pipeline, it kind of stunted now.
How are we going to get fuel from point A to point B?
So now we are occurring this fuel by trucks.
Yeah, I mean, it's not just the pipeline. He shut down drilling.
He shut down exploration. Right.
Pipe was shut down. And why are you shut down?
He tried to shut down the federal lands. No, he shut down the construction.
Keystone was not open. Keystone never got opened.
But they were talking about shutting down another working operation.
Something like that. I don't think they did.
I don't think the Department of Energy came out and she was kind of like, you know, golfing.
You know, I wish I had a magic wand and I could wave it and make gas.
So yeah, you have a magic wand.
It's whatever they did in the previous administration.
Yeah, that do that. What about stop stifling growth?
Stop stifling things. Stop being a dick.
Yeah, don't be a dick.
It's hard. Don't be a dick.
It's hard not to throw stones at these guys when we are in the midst of all these issues.
And you have people like Pelosi that are just...
We're not even a year into the Biden administration.
She walked into her political career with three million dollars in her bank.
She has over two hundred million dollars in her bank.
Oh, Pelosi? Yeah.
And keep in mind, she's married to...
Related... No, fuck that. She's directly related.
Her money is directly related to all the stocks that she has inside information on.
Yep.
And to the point where you have these leagues of people that follow her trends.
Her trades. Yeah.
So they mimic her trade.
Yeah, and they're successful.
Look, there aren't many members of Congress or the Senate that aren't filthy rich
because of their insider knowledge.
Oh, yeah.
I mean...
If you weren't rich...
On either side of the aisle.
But Pelosi is key suspect number one.
When you have an opportunity.
She's suspect number one.
If you weren't rich going into Congress, you were rich when you left.
You were, yes.
Well, I've got a friend who's in District 15.
He might be booted in South Texas, McCowen.
And you saw the controversy about him.
Well, what was the controversy?
He had $100,000 in a Chinese bank account.
Well, was it $100,000?
$100,000.
I thought it was an undisclosed amount.
Nope, $100,000.
So basically the Chinese were trying to curry some sort of favor, put money in his account.
They did, and it was earning interest.
It wasn't so much the money.
It wasn't the money that was put in the account.
What was the problem was the amount of interest that he was gaining with that money in that account.
I think where the money came from is shady, especially when it's a Chinese bank account.
That's probably true too, but I don't want to focus on that.
I want to talk about what is actually going on in Texas where dudes like us live.
And that is where the folks on the South border are fucking waking up.
And I think the Mexicans, the Mexican-Americans that are down there are realizing that 200,000-plus people a fucking month coming up.
Yeah, they've essentially been sold out and they're done.
They're fucking tired of all this Democratic bullshit.
Well, they changed you.
What, McCallan had the first Republican mayor since when?
1909.
That's insane.
And they have a Monica Dela Cruz who is now the shoe-in to take over the 15th district, or where she'll be.
Is she GOP?
She's Democrat.
She's Republican.
So the current one has been shifted over to the 34th district from what I understood, right?
So the border has always been staunchly, staunchly Democrat.
But what's interesting about that is it doesn't mean liberal.
They're not liberals.
They are, in my opinion, they would be probably considered moderate Democrats.
Look, the reason-
Blue dog Democrats.
Yes.
Classical Democrats.
That's what I would think.
They get all these benefits and bonuses for being in where they're at down there.
Right.
You know, it's just these programs, they got set up.
Yeah, they're bought.
But I agree with you.
I think once the open borders thing happened and they saw how detrimental it was to their local communities and how they followed the rules, they followed the rules.
And now people don't have to.
And that bothers people.
Can you pull up the districts and kind of zoom in?
That's what he's got going on right here.
Zoom in on them.
So this is the redistricting?
On the valley.
Yeah, they just redistricted.
They just redrew the lines.
And of course, the Democrats are like, oh, this is gerrymandering.
No, they got sued.
The Attorney General, I know, in name only, right, sued Texas because of the redistricting map.
Right.
This kind of stuff happens all the time.
Every state does this.
Yeah.
Texas was first in line to get sued by old, what's his name?
The Attorney General.
Merrick Garland.
Yes.
The thank God he's not on the Supreme Court.
The federal government has sued them.
Where's District 34?
Oh, there it is.
So it is right next door to 15.
So currently, Gonzalez is in 15 and Avella is in 34.
So he's been redistricted into...
To 34.
...absorbed into the 34.
So that's interesting.
So the fact that...
I mean, but you have to look at the gerrymandering that does go on.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, but it's because Texas legislature did it this way.
I mean, we elected them.
They drew the map.
You look at this one...
These maps are created by Democrats.
No, no.
These are done by Republicans.
These were done, but the originals from the early 1900s,
this is all original shit.
We are just now able to reinsert our authority right now.
I think...
No, they redistrict every several years.
Yeah, look at this shit been going on for a while.
Look at District 35 that goes up and down 35 in San Antonio to Austin.
Oh, that is crazy because it's...
That's crazy.
It's three miles wide and it's a corridor of people that live along the highway.
And that's it.
It's certainly one of all the popular areas.
Where is...
So these are state...
So this is Chip Roy.
Where is...
These are counties, right?
Where is the one-eyed guy?
He's in Houston, isn't he?
Yeah, okay.
One-eyed guy.
Who is that?
One-eyed guy.
No, no, no.
The one-eyed willy?
The Navy Seal, the ex-Navy Seal.
Oh, Crenshaw.
Crenshaw.
Yeah, Dan Crenshaw.
He's in Houston, right?
I think he's in 18 or somewhere in North of this state.
They always say that his has been so gerrymandering.
Because his kind of wraps around the city, I think.
To where it covers just the Republican areas?
Yeah, like that.
It's a suburb type of a district.
18 over there.
Yeah.
I don't know if he's going to get that granular.
Yeah, I see it.
Yeah.
They do that around cities.
They grab this piece and then move out to that piece.
And there's no question.
How are we going to get a grip on that?
There's no question that it's political.
I don't know that you can.
I mean, they're drawn by the state legislature, which is their...
They go to California, they're doing the same thing.
They're doing the same thing.
Maryland is doing the same thing.
They all do the same thing.
I know, but it comes to a point where you're kind of like,
all right, look, I mean, that is stupid.
That is stupid.
Well, that's the way it works.
Is there a legend down below?
I think the idea behind it is you get a similar amount of people
in a district.
So this district has a quarter million, this district has a
quarter million.
How do you chop it up?
And so that's up to the state legislature.
You're like Thornberry.
Look at this huge area up there.
How are they chopping it up?
What dictates it?
It's population.
Like a similar amount.
You represent...
If Texas has, I don't know, 25 million people and you have a
hundred districts, every...
So you're like, in order to get an equal, you have to do this.
That's why they want the census to come in and start.
That's why they want all these illegal aliens to come in.
And that's why they want them all to be citizenized.
Or be able to vote.
Well, they want them to become citizens and they want them to
buy their homes so that we can populate the area and have them
all Democrats in there.
And they'll be able to vote and whatever.
I think this redistricting happens with every census,
right, every 10 years?
Every 10 years.
I think so.
Is that it?
Yeah.
Huh.
Yeah, because it's happening in every state.
We just had this census in 2020 and this is the result.
I thought it happened every year.
No, it's every 10 years.
That didn't seem like a good time for that.
Ain't nobody got time for that.
Well, the population's booming.
That's my point.
Exponentially.
We picked up two seats.
I love that.
California lost, didn't they?
Lost.
Texas picked up two.
Florida.
California lost.
I think New York lost.
Are you kidding me?
That many people love California.
Yes.
Hey, dude, that's just the start.
I think they're leading in droves,
which is a good and bad thing.
Well, because where are they going?
Moving here.
They're taking that shit with them.
Moving to Colorado.
They're moving to Utah.
Well, they're moving here.
And that's a...
A lot of them are moving here.
You know what?
I don't...
Man, look, we...
I know.
I don't want to hate them.
There are so many things that are happening right now that
are coming to light.
We only have a few minutes left before the end of the first
half, but we've got like some exposing going on.
We've got the queer Cuomo brothers.
I'm not saying they're gay, but I'm saying...
They're Cuomo-sexual.
Well, I mean, he's fired from CNN.
Oh, yeah.
And his producer...
Oh, yeah, his senior producer.
Oh, yeah, the CNN producer.
You hear about this?
No, no, no, no, no.
His senior producer was...
CNN senior producer.
Yeah, it was...
It got busted for a child assault.
Yeah, grooming...
No, no, no, grooming underage girls and their moms.
A mom and a child.
Yes.
No, I heard about it.
It's not just one, it's multiples.
Yeah.
Wow.
And then you have Don Lamont.
Don Griffin.
Don Lamont.
Who is in the middle of a sexual scandal.
These people are evil, man.
So my point by bringing this up is...
Well, not just that, but this by itself is one thing.
But with Cuomo, Chris Cuomo, he wants the rest of his money
with his contract.
So...
Unless he breached his contract.
Well, right now, he feels that he...
I don't think there's an ethical...
I don't know.
Based on what I heard, there's no ethical clause in the
defendant's contract.
If there is an ethical clause, then he has grounds.
So he's saying that he deserves his money.
So I'm thinking there might be some major leaks going on.
I mean, I would if I were Cuomo.
I mean, Cuomo is a thug.
Yeah, look at the head of Chris Cuomo.
He's a douchebag.
Chris Cuomo, CNN producer charged with luring girls
for sexual training.
Yes, for the cult.
I mean, sexual training.
That's right on CNN's own website.
Guys, this is Epstein type of stuff.
You have enough money and power, you can do anything you want.
Man, I see all kinds of...
Man, what is the Maxine?
Delaine Maxwell.
Her photos are starting to populate with all these...
She's a monster.
Fantastic.
All these famous people, they're starting to populate
everywhere.
And then she's at baseball games.
Homeboy Judge Earl, what's his name?
John Roberts.
I mean, why aren't they talking about this?
I told you the rumor.
They're burying everything but her.
They are going to bury her and also...
I haven't seen anything about her at trial.
And in the same sentence, suppress anything that's related
to anybody else, okay?
Even Fox News isn't going to produce it.
They want to get rid of her just like they got rid of Epstein,
one way or the other.
But anybody that's linked to them, that name's not coming out.
They've already suppressed all that.
They've already...
What do you call it when you black mark something?
Redact.
Yes, they redacted it all.
They redacted it all.
I know.
They're going to try.
Well, is it a decision that says we can't let this out
because it will cause too much trouble?
Well, absolutely, because it's going to undermine...
There are so many people on both sides of the aisle.
That's what I mean.
Dude, guys, this is a ring of evil.
This is a total ring of evil.
And you wonder why QAnon has caught on.
People of power on both sides.
Power and control and ring of evil.
And this is hell on earth,
is what these people are tied in with.
Well, I mean, to them, it's not, though.
To them, it's not hell.
To them, it's their reality.
It's evil.
To us, in our interpretation, it's evil.
To them...
In their life, it's normal.
It's just power and influence.
Yeah, thank you.
That's exactly what it is.
It's what they get out of life.
I mean, they show a picture of Woody Allen
at a baseball game with a young Asian girl,
like, really fucking young.
Not his daughter?
Wife?
Adoptive?
His daughter wife?
Daughter wife.
Daddy ended up marrying.
Just look at Ilhan Omar.
He adopted a girl.
He adopted a girl and ended up marrying her.
Soon Yi.
I guess I should say raping her and then marrying her.
Yes.
I was never a fan of Woody Allen.
Ever.
I liked him in one movie.
No.
I don't know. They're right there.
I mean, that's...
Could be his daughter.
Yeesh.
He was amazing in Terminator.
Could be his daughter or granddaughter.
Terminator?
Terminator.
Oh, wasn't Woody Allen was not in Terminator?
I don't believe so.
I don't think so either.
I think you're thinking of Predator.
Oh.
That's good.
Clever.
See, that's where I should have gone with it.
That was better than mine.
That was good.
Whoever happened to that show?
Predator?
The movies?
To Catch a Predator.
Oh, that NBC...
The Clintons shut it down.
Because they were next?
Because they were next.
Yeah, I was never a big fan of Woody Allen.
I've seen one or two of his movies and I was very unimpressed.
For some reason, he's seen as this huge artistic director.
I don't get it.
I don't get it either.
Wow.
There's a lot of crazy stuff, a lot of sexual stuff.
The prince, you know, him getting off.
Prince Edward, right?
Yeah, Prince Edward.
The Fresh Prince?
Not the French Prince of Bel-Air, but you know, there's just...
I mean, it is amazing on how much they're not covering.
Yeah, I don't understand why they're not.
Who was the director, kind of like this guy, kind of like Woody Allen, who had to escape...
Roman Polanski.
Yes.
Did I talk about that?
Did I miss that?
No.
There we go.
He raped somebody and he's been in, not in hiding, but in the movies.
He's been kind of exiled.
He's been exiled in Europe.
Oh yeah.
Yes, they want to extradite him, but they can't.
And he was a prominent director.
No, they all applaud him at the Oscars or whatever.
They did.
Meryl Streep got up there and said, he is a great man.
Now he raped someone.
I guess that's like, you know, they're applauding Michael Jackson for staring into the abyss
of these little boys' buttholes.
I mean, how do you...
That was very poetic.
That's what happened though.
It's exactly what happened.
I know.
And it's just like, it's wrong.
And people are applauding this stuff.
And it's just, it's wrong.
Well, it's just like, you know, you say the politicians live in their world.
I think Hollywood's even worse.
I think Hollywood lives in this world of depravity that you hear about...
The Weinsteins world.
The Weinstein, not just that, but who's the Cory who was like, he was abused as a kid.
Oh yeah?
And his best friend killed himself.
I think there's a whole group of men who do that.
We scratched the surface on some very sensitive issues.
Yeah, we went dark.
But this is what's going on.
And you know what?
The media's hiding this.
They are.
They don't want us to know about it.
And we want to know why.
And dudes like us are concerned because you know why?
We need to start our own media company.
We're doing like you.
We love you.
Hey, first half's done.
First half, we'll catch you on the other side.
