Have you ever considered transgender?
That would be the question I would ask.
That would be negative on my part.
I mean, you said you want to have thought-provoking questions.
If Trump were to join our podcast, sit in that chair right there in the corner, what would we ask him?
I think he would probably want to sit right there.
No, that's my chair.
I sit at the lead, I'm the captain, I'm driving the ship.
Alright, Arnold.
Yeah, when did Arnold join the podcast?
Huge.
The Gov-a-nata.
Welcome to the first edition of Dudes Like Us in...
2022.
2022, baby. Happy New Year.
Those are fireworks.
Yeah, those are, yeah.
I didn't, were there fireworks going off in Frisco?
I didn't hear anything.
But I'm hearing comparing.
2022.
What a, what a fucking joke.
2021 is a fucking joke.
Who was the train wreck?
I mean, the only thing I'm thankful for is that I'm alive.
You think 2021 was worse than 2020?
Tons of folks that died.
Yeah.
Needlessly, because they didn't get the vaccine.
Oh.
Needlessly.
Yeah, because they didn't get the vaccine.
They didn't get the vaccine, so they're all dead.
Yeah, something happened to Sean on New Year's Eve,
and he's now weird and liberal.
No.
I don't think the vaccine discussion is a liberal or Republican,
because I saw something.
It shouldn't be.
They said, the majority of the block of people that make up the unvaccinated are black people.
Right.
Is that because they can't get to the vaccine booths?
They don't want to take it.
And that's what the argument is.
It's not a photo ID issue?
And they're free.
No, it's not a photo ID issue?
And it's free.
It's free, so it's not access.
So it's not a Republican and liberal thing.
Do you have to show proof of ID when you go get your vaccine?
Probably.
It's a medical.
That's interesting.
If that's true, that has to be talked about.
It's like voter ID.
That's the biggest hypocrisy ever, if that's true.
Well, you know, you have that lady from Mandalorian.
Well, in order to get your vaccine card, right, or you just make up a name.
They should mail the vaccine to your house, just like they do the voting envelope.
You receive it, fill it out.
You could administer the shot yourself and send it on through.
Dude, I'm just thinking about this.
Don't you trust me?
Photo ID has to be required, because otherwise what you could do is pay somebody to, you
know, somebody who doesn't want to be vaccinated, you could pay somebody 500 bucks to go into
CVS and say, my name is blah, blah, blah, and have it be me, not him.
I wonder if they could get a card and they could just hand it to me.
If you take too many vaccines, is that an issue?
Like if you get too many boosters?
Yeah, I mean.
It makes you impervious to everything on the planet.
I have no idea.
I'm sure there's people out there that have, but they keep records of this, supposedly.
There is a new study coming out right now about the folks that are taking the vaccine
and that, and you mentioned this too, you didn't mention them in a podcast, but you
said some of the folks that have had some sort of illness, ailments, disease, cancer
or something that's been in remission, that comes out of remission.
Right.
So there's been just here in the Dallas Fort Worth area, there's been like 50 cases of
shingles, right?
Just repopulating after shingles.
Shingles is a result from the chickenpox virus.
It is, but so here's the problem.
So it's reactivating the chickenpox virus.
Well, what I'm reading, and it's not everybody, right?
Because there's been 80 million people that have gotten the vaccine or more than that.
Well, it's enough if it weren't, if it wasn't under normal vaccine testing conditions,
there's enough people that they would have yanked the vaccine.
That's true.
For sure.
But there's been enough situations where what the vaccine does is compromises your immunity
system.
So the result of that, and they're never going to attribute that to the vaccine.
They're going to go, oh, well, it's because your cancer came out of remission.
Oh, it's because you developed an autoimmune disorder having to do with blood clotting.
Oh, you had this, you know what I'm saying?
But the bottom line is...
But that is possible though, right?
Well, it is, but what the vaccine...
We don't like that answer though.
Right.
The vaccine is compromising the immunity system, and then your body is going haywire and allowing
things to happen that should not happen, i.e. people getting shingles, i.e. people having
their cancer come back.
Yeah, I mean, that's the problem I have is, you're making your argument, but then on the
other foot, it's like, well, maybe it's not related.
Right.
It could be.
I don't know.
You don't know.
They said I have to present your ID.
So IDs for a vaccine shot but not for voting.
Scroll down.
There you go.
It says, notice that I had to present my ID twice, verify my address twice, and verify
my phone number once.
Anyone signing up for the vaccines is warned in advance that he will have to present identification
that includes a driver's license, a passport, or any legal proof of your date of birth and
residency.
How is that not covered?
Well, look at the next paragraph.
Harry Fleischer, the White House press secretary under Bush, also took note of the fact that
on Twitter, why is it okay to require ID to save someone's life but not okay for voting?
Unbelievable.
How has this not been so prevalent as a discussion point?
This is because this whole, and I hate because it doesn't fit the narrative.
I'm sick of hearing myself say it.
But it's true.
It's just like there are so many things that are queer that's going on that it should,
this is, I mean, the deleting of Dr. Malone's YouTube video simply because, I mean, the
dude believes in vaccines.
Right.
You know, he's vaccinated himself.
He would get vaccinated again.
But he's the guy that fucking handwritten, Myrna.
Was it Myrna?
mRNA.
Moderna.
Anyway, they deleted the whole freaking YouTube video.
I didn't know that until just recently.
So you just said that.
Yep.
Prior to the podcast.
That is crazy.
Because it goes against their.
I'm wondering what Spotify has, how, who's in control of Spotify that is allowing them
to him to say on Spotify?
Maybe in his contract that you can't delete anything without his permission or something
like that.
I don't know.
He doesn't have a contract with YouTube.
This is an unprecedented level.
So Spotify is a Swedish audio streaming.
So they don't have to abide by the rules from the United States.
There's a lot of folks that work for Spotify who have a problem with Joe Reagan.
Remember that?
Where he was there protesting because he's able to say what he wants to say.
And it's still on Spotify.
Yes, it's still there.
How dare he be able to say that?
Right.
And I work for this company.
Right.
It's just like.
I'm kind of curious.
What are they going to do?
Are they going to dig after?
Well, for example, homeboy that Mike something's selling all the pillows.
You know, Mike Lindell.
You know, they shut down his website.
Right.
So he can't sell pillows.
Oh, no, no, no.
No, they haven't shut down.
What do they shut down something on?
They removed all his commercials.
That's it.
I thought they had killed his website.
Well, if they did, he's back up.
So they won't let him advertise on on like Facebook or something.
Fox even did it.
CNN, all the all the TV channels.
No, no, no.
I've seen my pillow on Fox News.
Well, then it's come back.
I know there was a stretch there where at least the headline I saw is Fox did it.
I don't know if there's back because they got pushback.
But yeah, they removed a lot of the advertising is what they did.
Interesting.
But I still hear it on talk radio.
Oh, well, you know, talk radio is one of these.
It's like the last basketball is the Libs won it.
That's why they keep trying to shut it down.
Fairness.
Oh, my gosh.
It's just like, what do you do?
You start your own.
Yeah.
Well, that's what I said a couple of years ago.
They need to take Trump.
Trump needs to hopefully that's what they're doing.
So what there's several now as a replacement to Twitter.
There's Tumblr.
No, Tumblr is a dating app, isn't it?
No, no.
That's rumble.
Rumble.
Rumble is a YouTube alternative.
Yeah.
And there's go getter gab gabber.
Is it getter or gabber?
I think it's getter.
I thought it was getter.
There's Tumblr, which is one.
And then getters the other Tumblr is microblogging.
There's a getter right there.
The marketplace of ideas.
OK, I've never heard this one.
And then there's Tinder.
Tinder is a dating app.
Then there's Grindr.
That's a boner.
Well, Grindr is the gay Tinder.
I would know.
Yep.
Why would you know that, Jeff?
Paul, you showed me your profile.
Oh, I showed you my account?
Your profile.
Oh, damn it.
I didn't think I showed anybody that.
It's just the tip.
Oh, really?
Really?
So I'm going to have to research this.
I've never heard of this place.
Getter?
Yeah.
It's supposed to be the alternative to Twitter.
Twitter.
So Joe Rogan joins getter.
So I wonder if you'll be able to watch some vids of his stuff on there.
Well, he made that statement and they're stuck with the few of the fucking roof as soon
as you made that statement.
Uh-oh.
Joe Rogan got himself a Twitter ban.
Insurance policy.
Oh, I see.
Oh, what is that?
Well, he's on getter.
So if Twitter bans him, he just 100% moves to this place.
So the one I was thinking of was Parler.
Remember?
Oh, yeah.
I haven't heard much of that in a while.
Well, because they shut it down.
Well, they shut it down, but then they took them about a month to move to another server
that wasn't controlled by Amazon.
Yeah, a whole new platform.
Parler free speech.
Yeah.
Because Amazon shut them down.
Yeah.
Amazon and Apple and Android yanked it off of the market.
See?
So all these big companies that should be apolitical.
Big tech.
They should be, but they're not.
You know, of course not.
It's unbelievable.
Yeah.
It's like, who, you know, it's what the fuck?
It's truly, it's truly unbelievable.
And the kids today see it.
And they don't care.
Well, do they?
I don't know.
There's a lot that do.
There's a lot that don't.
But can you, but it's kind of like, in my opinion, it's kind of like.
I was like, Dad, you're just an old man.
It's like living in a house with your parents constantly fighting.
It's like living in an unstable, unstable environment.
Twitter?
Yeah.
Well, no, the way the media, the social media is, the way they're
controlling everything.
Kids can see some of that stuff.
They know what's going on.
They're like, hey, man.
I hope.
Well, I hope so, too.
You know, it's just.
But what I'm saying is I think it's going to have some long-term
effects on the kids.
I think it's going to fuck them up.
I think the real fuck up is going to be the young kids who are in
the hospital, who are in the hospital.
And I think that's going to be a big part of the problem.
Yeah.
Because I heard on the radio that they did a study that the kids.
Mass formation psychosis.
I don't know what they called it, but they said.
Are you joking?
Is that a real thing?
No, it is real thing.
They said that the kids like kindergarten.
That age. Yeah.
Are testing their IQ scores are lower.
Oh yeah.
Because the brains are still developing.
Because they can't see facial cues.
That's right.
And they're not in school.
They locked down and then they went to virtual and then they came
back and then they went back to virtual and bought it.
They're two grades behind.
Two grades behind.
Let's go to we're going to feel that in 16, 15 years.
It's going to be idiocracy where it is we're going to feel it in 15
or 16 years where people are don't know that they need water to
plant crops.
Maybe producer.
I encourage you to stick with the college and pick up the last two
years of your high school because you not just you but everyone.
Everyone.
The last two years has gotten screwed.
They have.
And not just that but the way that I mean we brought this up before
but the school system right now they're getting screwed anyways.
Right.
Even if there wasn't.
Well now the Chicago teachers unions are about to strike unless
they go remote again.
Yeah.
Those freaking unions.
You know what?
Even the president of the United States says Fauci.
Fauci.
Yeah.
I know.
Fuckface Fauci even said it.
I know.
That guy needs to go.
He does.
He's got to.
He likes the attention though.
And they need a cap.
I want to live in a world where there's no Fauci and there's no
Pelosi.
No camel.
And no and no.
Someone else will fill the gap.
You'll have no.
And no Biden.
Oh my God.
You'll see this past weekend.
Florida.
Hang on.
Hypocrisy is just thick.
It's it's beyond.
She got tired of being locked down.
So she goes to Florida to not wear a mask.
And party.
And party and have drinks and go to the beach and all this kind of
stuff.
And her response was so like childish.
They called it middle schooler.
They called her a middle schooler in mainstream media.
You just want to have sex with me.
Yeah.
You're frustrated that you can't have sex with me.
And I'm like, no, probably not it.
Hold on now.
I'm not frustrated.
Uh huh.
Let's make sure you guys knew that.
You do want to have sex with her, but you're not frustrated.
She's not an ugly person.
What depends.
I don't know.
I think emotionally it's hard for me to separate.
I think emotionally she's ugly.
Well, personality is just you take them home.
You know, she's going to pitch at you all night.
It's like, what is that?
Is it Brian Adams songs?
One night love affair.
Try writing her consent.
I could actually I'm with you.
I see it being a horrendous experience.
I'd probably kick her out before.
You know, I wouldn't go to I wouldn't let it go to the next
step.
Yeah.
So annoying.
Her voice is so annoying.
She's so immature.
She is extremely immature.
All that stuff.
I'd be like, yeah, get the hell out.
What this tells me plunge that throat so hard.
I'd make her what I would make her drop two octaves.
Really?
What this what this tells me is she did not have the mental
acuity to go.
If I do this, right, this is going to happen.
If I go to Florida, I need to stay in my hotel.
What's this going to look like?
Yeah.
What's this going to do out there in the public partying
with no mask and having fun, which she has every right to
do.
Right.
But you can't bitch.
Right.
At the same time.
Rules.
About lockdowns.
You have to lock the and not for me.
Right.
So if she was a bitch, she even said that, though.
I mean, she said you walk the walk.
If you're going to talk to talk, talk, you know, walk the
walk.
And they had like a little comparison.
Her saying that and then a photo of her.
Yeah.
If you're going to talk the talk, go to Florida.
And she said, well, I don't care.
She said, no problem with it.
No, it doesn't.
It doesn't give a shit what people doing care.
It's all cares.
Yeah.
If she wasn't hawking her little ideas, I wouldn't give a shit
that she did.
That'd be like good for her.
Because you know, if you want a vacation, you're going to have
to go to Florida, Texas, a couple other places that are
open.
Right.
I mean, you're limited and so OK, I'm going to Florida.
So right now is do we know that what's going to happen this
coming semester?
to school? I understood the first two weeks they're going to be, you know, on remote.
Well, it depends on what city you're in. Chicago? I'm talking about here in Texas.
I've heard the University of Arkansas is going back to virtual.
For how long? Two weeks? I don't know. And so yeah, I haven't heard that officially,
but that's obviously frustrating because here we are paying an exorbitant amount for an
apartment. Oh, I know. Yep. Is he going to be here?
And that's what we're asking him. Are you going to be here? Are your friends going to
be there? Are you going to be here? I mean, yeah, I'm throwing away 800 bucks a month.
Well, he had to, well, all our boys had to deal with this their freshman year. I know.
That summer, that first fall. Right. And they stayed down there. They stayed down there.
Yeah. So I imagine it'd be the same. Of course, they're going to want to stay down there.
Well, again, when I think of college, I think half of it is the school and half of it is
living on your own. That's right. The education. So at least they're going to be living on
their own and getting that part of the education. How do I behave and well, and eating right
and having vitamins and minerals and drinking lots of water and eating vegetables drinking
vegetables. That's a big part of college, is it not corn? Yeah. Lots of corn and barley
and and asparagus gives you asparagus. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's a big part of college.
And I think most of the kids, these young children, are embracing that with asparagus
pea. Yeah. Like get a asparagus pea scented candle. It's terrible. I read that that's
a genetic thing. Not everybody. What? Not everybody has bad asparagus pea. What are
you talking about asparagus pea? Have you ever eaten asparagus? Yes. I can have two
or three stalks of asparagus and within 30 minutes I take a pea and it reeks. Yeah. You've
never had that? I've never noticed. Yeah. So I've read that it's why does asparagus
make your pea smell? Cleveland Clinic. It's a it's a it's one of the minerals in it, I
think. Oh, as your body digests food, it breaks down different compounds through the enzymatic
process. In the case of asparagus, compounds are volatile and released as vapor as a vapor
through the urine. You know, that explains why they drink alcohol and don't eat asparagus.
What's the aroma you smell when the compound exits your body? Okay, it's all coming together.
I feel like crap for for dog and my son for drinking too much at college. Well, hold on.
We're talking about asparagus. So when it breaks down, it produces a vapor that comes
out in your urine. That is such an odd place for it to come out. A vapor. Listen, it says
if you insist you've never before smelled what's been informally dubbed as asparagus
pea, it's because you lack the ability to detect the odor. The smell is there. You just
can't smell it. There we go. I am asparagus pea deficient. Yeah. Scent deficient. Correct.
I lack the genetic makeup. It's quick. It's you know, you can have like, like you said,
one stock and it's two minutes later, it's you know, it's now you know what? This is
I say we have a challenge. I'm going to go buy a we don't eat asparagus. And so I am
now going to asparagus spears are coming out of the toilet. It doesn't smell like asparagus.
No, I'm gonna I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna go buy asparagus just to test this theory
and then pee and then yeah, stick my face in the toilet. You don't have to. Oh, I don't
have no the vapors rise. Okay, they rise to the occasion. Okay, so okay, good to know.
Thanks for the tip. And no, I'm not smelling your so if you do it, you can't smell it.
I'm not smelling your pee. Well, hold on. What if we pee in cups? And then we take turns
smelling each other's pee and see if we guys go first and then I will I'll take notes.
It's just a scientific experiment. Sure it is. I'm not being weird about this. I'm not
smelling your urine. Yeah. Fine. Would you like a few pots and pans? A Dixie cup of urine.
Oh my god, guys, you got to smell this. It smells awful. It's an eight quart crock pot.
Here it will. Look at all this vapor coming off of this thing. You can see it. It's like
heat off the street. Smell it. Smell it. Oh my god. It's flammable. Yeah, asparagus pee.
I'd have this Roman candle. I don't know how we got on asparagus pee. Oh, I was making
a joke about them being healthy at college. Oh yeah, that's right. I'm kind of wondering
what kind of vapor it puts off. What was the? It's like Vicks vapor rub. Why? That's what
it is. Do they make an ointment? It opens up. Out of asparagus pee? It opens up the
sinuses. You rub it on your chest. It's like smelling salts. Well, that's what I'm saying.
Make a candle scented. That'd be terrible. It's not a good smell. Well, what's her name?
Make a candle of her smell of her cooter. Who? What? The girl from Iron Man. Oh, that's
right. Gwyneth Paltrow. Yeah, I hear that a lot when I'm editing, by the way. No more
slamming the table. That's why I said you want a few pots and pans over there. You said
they're bang, bang, bang, bang. I thought you meant to urinate it. I did too. I thought
they're urinating. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, Gwyneth Paltrow. She made a scent of her candle
that smells like her her who they also make vagina beer. Really? Yeah, I've heard that
they make a vagina beer. They need it where they take the essence of these women and they
get the yeast. Oh, that sounds wonderful. I don't know. I don't know exactly how they
create it, but they take the essence from women's vaginas. And can you imagine with
it? Can you imagine guys all getting together and they're going like, hey, we're going to
go out to the lake house and we're going to we're going to do we're going to blow it out.
Oh, we brought five cases of vagina light. And your wife is like, what are you drinking?
Oh, vagina light. This is this is Carrie Fisher. This is I think it's certain. And I think
it's certain girls that you could say, I want this girl or whatever. Come on. I'm serious.
Be quiet. All right, Mr. Producer, vagina beer, vagina light. I've got Hillary Clinton
here. Oh, that's disgusting. It's a mead. Oh, mead. It's a wheat beer. Vagina. It's a stout.
There you go. There you go. A model of vagina. Vagina. Vaginal yeast. Spelled V-E-R-G-I-N-A.
Vagina. Yeah. Oh, OK. Well, they got some saucy pictures for advertising. Oh, hey. So
you can this is retarded. So hold on. No, it's not an April Fool's Polish brewery order
of Ionis. Currently, I raising money to make the world's first craft beer containing a vaginal
lactic acid freshly freshly from a model. No, freshly swapped freshly swapped vaginal
like wait and get your covid swab and then you know, you could make we could make our
own tonic with vaginal lactic acid. What? No, I vaginal lactic acid. I don't have a
vagina. Well, you know what? Tell you what. We'll buy it off Amazon and we'll take some
make an old fashion. Make an old fashion. Do they sell vagina of lactic acid off of Amazon?
I don't know. Is it legal? We can make an old fashion with it. I think it's illegal to mail
some that stuff. Like, I don't think you're allowed to mail that kind of stuff like women's
underwear with like warm women's underwear. I don't think you're allowed to do that. Anything
that carries like they say it's a biohazard, I think. No, I don't know. You know, I've
never tried for you. Sperm pair of underwear. There's people who like dirty underwear as
a fetish as a fetish. We've got a kind of gone through this. Yeah, but there's all kinds
of stupid fetishes out there. I can't say they're stupid because they like them. But
like a strange about that, like asparagus, pea golden shower. I'm sure someone likes
it. I bet somebody's into that. If you can think of it, I bet someone's tried it. Hmm.
Okay. Challenge accepted, right? No, people love that vapor. Definitely not accepted.
So do we want to talk about the bourbon quickly? Very quickly. So I, you know, I came upstairs
to set up a few things and yelled up here, grab a bourbon and I'm banded because this
was a wheat beer and it's first of all, 90 proof. Yeah, it's nice. So we have a gallon
of it. It's easy to drink. It's easy to drink. Plus in my opinion, like I've shared about
the wheat beers, specifically this one, because it's 45% wheat and 51% corn. So 51 is like
the bottom. That is the least amount of corn that you can have in a bourbon. So what it
does, to me, it makes it incredibly smooth to drink. It's not difficult. Add a cube or
two in there, it's perfect in my opinion. It's the perfect bourbon. It's a good sipper. And
it's not strong. It's not bad at all. So it's not the cast strength, the 106 that we have
in there, which is even more fantastical. Oh, that's right. We do have the cast strength
in there, don't we? I was on the, I almost brought it down there. I'm kind of glad we
didn't because we definitely would have finished that one and I kind of want to save that one.
But we just finished the leader. That leader was full when you brought it down. No. So
yeah, the Nine Bandit. I think Nine Bandit was one of the earlier ones that kind of got
us into bourbon because we moved on from black powder. Remember that one? Yeah, we were experimenting.
We had black, I haven't seen black powder up there. Yeah, so we had black powder a lot.
It kind of disappeared. And then we moved to, I don't know who found Nine Bandit. Maybe
we tasted it up there. I don't know who found it first, but Nine Bandit became the... I
think Kevin set it up at the Total Wine. He set us up with that Nine Bandit. The Nine
Bandit, we drank that for quite a while. Then the collection started and we expanded our
horizons. Is it bad that when we walk into that store, we know just about every employee
that works the bourbon aisle? Because they do work, they work particular aisles. Oh yes.
And they're kind of like, oh guys. It's like, hey guys. They courier us off to another area
to get a private sampling. Yes, they do. That's exciting. There's three of them and they know
us. And if there's something special there, they grab you and go, get this. I'll never
forget when we got the three Henry McKennas tenure. I walked in and I was like, and he
goes, he didn't say a word. He was motioning with his finger, come here. With his finger.
And I was like, oh, this is a unicorn. We have a unicorn. And then yes, he led us to three
bottles of Henry McKenna tenure. It was almost like he was waiting for us. I know. It was
crazy. I doubt he was. Gobbled them up and we drank mine. Did you guys open yours? You
had one? When did we drink that? Did we open yours? Was it good? No. Mine's in the safe.
Is it really? That's hilarious. Talk about prized possession now, right? Right next to
the ammo and the guns. Yeah, there's a couple that I'd probably do that with. That's one
of them because I think it's doubled in price on the aftermarket already, which it still
is a lot. But 10 years, maybe it is. You know, I don't know. Right. That stuff don't go bad.
So so where's nine banded distilled? Austin. Okay, so we could drive down there. I don't
know if they do tours, though, because I've looked and I don't think they do tours. Okay.
That's too bad. They may have a tasting room, but I don't think they do a tour. At least
I haven't. That was six months ago. They didn't back then. Huh? Maybe we could make it make
a tour of it and do nine banded and then Garrison Brothers. I'm saying right now is the time
to do it because hotel rates are low up until right before spring break. Right. So they're
kind of at a seasonal low, annually low rate between like Thanksgiving and now. Why can't
take any time right now? Zero. Yeah. That's why we work from the from the distillery.
Yes, I could do that. Bring your laptop. You do that. Or just sit on a bench under a tree.
Yeah, I have to accrue my time every year. So I start with zero and then I accrue every
month. Every paycheck. That's pretty normal. Yeah. So I don't have any PTO right now, but
I could take time off. So you don't have any carryover? No, doesn't carryover. Oh, use
it or lose it. I use it or lose it. Ours carries over or at least a certain amount. A certain
amount. Mine does too. Mine does not. I have a weird year. Mine ends at the end of March.
That is strange. Yeah, because it was a British company. We're switching to our regular year
now. They go off a different calendar. They go off a different calendar. I don't know.
I think it's the Incans. I don't go on vacation, so I always have time. Oh, boy. Here we go.
I only slept around Christmas. You know what? I'm doing that. You know, I was trying to
be a company guy and everybody else takes off. What did it get you? Yeah. Yeah. You
know, and you know, it's sometimes a little man on the totem pole gets it, but I don't
think you're a little man on the totem pole anymore. No, I'm not. And really, I'm at a
point now where I need to start doing it. And I am this year. 2022 is going to be a
better year for me. There we go. You know, because I'm good. Like, I'm taking off this
week for Thursday, Friday. I've got some family coming into town. And so I'm just it's just
two days, just Thursday, Friday. I'm still going to work. Right. It's not a matter of
me taking off to not work. I still have shit to do. But you're going to spend them. You're
dedicating some time to do some things you want to do. Yeah, I need it. I can't be held
accountable for a full workload like they want you for billable hours. You know, I told
them you said I'm taking these days off. They're already proved. They're not expecting hours
out of you. No, they're not expected. They're expecting zero. But the condition was, well,
they're approved. But you have to be caught up. Right. So in other words, you're not going
to be caught up by the end of Wednesday. So you'll work around the edges. Well, today's
Tuesday. Right. Right. And you have started. No, no. I mean, I'm constantly working. Like,
I mean, I'm doing fine. I'm doing fine. I've got a I've got a pretty busy day tomorrow.
And you know, that's just it kind of irritates me because it's just like, I'm busy. I don't
need any new stuff. Okay. And it's just like, I don't get it, man. But whatever it is, what
is it's the nature of my job. But that's a good New Year's resolution to spend more time
to take time off. Take more time off. And I'm a big proponent for my team, for my guys.
I tell him, I was like, when you take PTO, it's personal time. Really take you off. I
don't expect you to monitor email. I was like, if something completely blows up, right, I'll
text you, but I'm not going to. Right. But that's your time. And I learned that from
one of my vice presidents. He gave me a hard time. He's like, he's like, why were you sending
emails on your day off? Well, I was like, no, that's your time. Right. You take it.
This will wait. Yeah. Right. And he's a vice president telling me this of my division.
Yeah. Go go drink your vaginal, vaginal light, my vaginal beer and and hang out with your
friends the Bach. And you know, he was a VP. And I was like, and I've taken that to heart.
And I've carried that down to my teams. And I was like, and I tell them I was like, do
you need a pillow? Something you can bang down on? Why is that bothering you? You are
banging a lot. That's why I put my hands in my lap and I'm not doing anything. Sorry,
it's involuntary. I don't know. Do I always do that? No, I've never heard you do it. I
don't know what it is. I heard I actually heard it quite a bit in the last one I was
editing and I don't know if you were for my father in law. It could have been Alan. I
think I heard him doing it. He was doing it. Yeah, I think it was out. I've never heard
you do it. Tonight. It's like, God damn, dude. I don't know why. Okay. Anyway, so I I've
the guys that report to me and the teams report, I tell them I was like, personal day. Yeah.
I was like, take the time you got and you got to protect it. Yeah, family. It's more
than just, okay, yeah, I won't work. No, you have to protect that time. As you guys that
I work with, you got to be intentional to your family, be intentional to your wife,
be intentional. Like you got to be present. These other guys, they do the same thing.
They're just like, you know, I'm off. I'm off. Don't write. Don't call me. Yeah. You
said you're out of office. You need to set you're out of office. Yeah, I am gone. I'll
be back on this day. If you need immediate assistance, contact so and so. There you go.
Otherwise, you will not hear from me. Right. Yeah. That's what you need to do. I think
a and plus for the holidays, I think I'm just gonna I'm gonna start climbing them. You know,
they've got some pretty cool. They got some pretty cool three, four day weekends where,
like, throughout the year, they give you a day off for whatever reason. There's these
days off that you automatically get. And I'll take a beer, please. And so what I think I'm
gonna do is I'm going to do my strategic day where they already give me one and then tag
an extra one on there. So I take one day off and I have a four day weekend because that's
what they're doing. And it's smart. And I'm like, I'm like, I'm going to be that guy where
I'm going to be the and I want to be that guy. I still want to be that guy. They're
going to be able to count on me. I'm going to be able to get my stuff done. But at the
same time, God damn it, I'm I'm I'm not getting any younger. Well, I need to live life. Well,
also, the thing is, is PTO is recovery. You have to you have to get away from work. Yeah,
it can't be 24 seven. And that's what you've been doing. You've been working a lot, a lot
of hours through the weekends, everything and you burn out, you burn out, burn out.
That's where I'm at right now. You need and you're doing this weekend. It makes you less
productive. It saps your morale. It you know, you're not working as focused and as hard
as you would be. And it's kind of even though you're putting in the hours to go to your
boss and say, hey, man, look, I'm sorry, I'm just getting burnt out. You know, they're
going to be like, I don't give a fuck. Well, they're bad boss. They will. They'll say that
with what I would say is take a few days for yourself. Absolutely. That's what I would
say, too. Yeah. Take a week. Go so and so. As a matter of fact, I proactively say, listen,
you had two deployments this week and you're working and you're sending emails at nine,
you know, eight or nine o'clock at night. You know, take take Friday off and it's not
a vacation day. I tell them it's comp time. Right. I tell I said, you know, don't don't
log in on Friday. Period. Right. So because I tell them I'm worried about burnout. Yeah,
a lot of companies do no good to me if you're burned out. That's one thing where that the
company I work for is and again, it's the leadership that I had when I first got there,
instilled it and I've carried it on. It's extremely flexible. Right. And they're open
to that. They're just like, you know, this is this when I said not we're not doing brain
surgery. We're not saving people's lives. Yes, it's important work. But missing a day
or two is not going to it's not like it's not like they're not going to sell you. Right.
It's great. It's not going to what I always tell my team is that it's never going to end
every single morning you log in and you check your email. There is always going to be emails
there. If you're if you're working under the mentality, well, I'm just going to I'm just
going to, you know, get over the hump here. I'm going to trip away at this mountain and
I'm going to get that out of the way. Well, it's never going to end. It's always always
this past holiday. And the stuff that we you and I have got going on. Yeah. Hit me kind
of harder than normal just because it's frustrating. I'm not envious or jealous or whatever. I
don't even know the correct term anymore. Right. You know, of your guys job. But I do
like the time off. And it was a little frustrating because, you know, I don't want things to,
you know, I mean, like we have our CNC machine. We've got stuff going on. Right. And here
I am. I'm working and I should have taken some time off. And you guys are off. And I'm
sitting here. I'm working. Well, now you know, you know, now it's a matter of finding the
time carving it out. Next year. It's different. Right. You know, take it. And we were like,
you know, doing shots and Snapchatting. We were like, oh, the music member. We were doing
the scenes. Oh, I mean, it was just party. Yeah. You were trying on different bikinis.
Oh, yeah. Oh, we had all sorts of stuff we were doing. The hand a hammock. It was amazing.
Asparagus. Smell each other's urine. Yeah. No, vagina light. Man, we were hammering them.
You know what? I think this is interesting. Maybe you should smell my urine because if
you can't smell it, can you stop right there? No, no, no. And not finish that. I'm kind
of curious. Is it because you can't smell asparagus pee or he doesn't produce it or
you don't produce it? No, they said you don't smell it. Oh, well, we should test that theory.
I wanted to pee in a cup and have a smell contest. No, no, no, we smell is I'm not smelling
anybody's. Forget it. I should change my mind. You're the odd man out. So it's all on you.
The offer is creepy. So I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to retract and say I want no
part of this. All right. Well, kind of you got Clyde Mays as the Alabama style whiskey.
This is my backup because I know I'm going to finish what I'm drinking. Dude, I put like
a there's a large amount of bourbon in that glass. At least three ounce. I spilled it
on the way up, I think. Oh, my. Yes. Carpet's going to be stiff. You know, he spilled it.
He was like, oh, oh, oh, the dog will lick it up. Could be could be. Where is your dog?
Oh, there she is. That's where she always is. So let's talk about Betty White. You know
what? It's a hard left, but in the last podcast, we were all like raving about how much we
loved her and how much you know, but she's going to be 100 years old. Yep. Go ahead.
I guess I fuck Legos. I think it was like from ninety nine. They're like, well, after
she's you know, she's not going to be able to play with Legos after this. Maybe that's
what that's what causes. She's like, fuck it. I'm out. Yeah. I can't play with Legos.
She was still still breaker. Can you imagine living for almost 100 years and being two
weeks short? Not that anybody cares. And she didn't care. She probably doesn't. And you
know, her life experiences in just the on camera and off camera. You know, there's one
specific one that I thought was funny. She probably has countless. But the proposal with
Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock, I may have mentioned this one another podcast. Oh, yeah.
No, the last one we talked about at length. Alan said he loved that movie. The one thing
that I hadn't seen, which they started showing from the proposal were some of the bloopers.
Did she do a nude scene? Are you talking about Betty White or Ryan Reynolds? She was in her
what, 80s then? So she probably early 90s. Pretty hot. I don't know. He saw the bloopers,
not me. There weren't any. Oh, OK. It was actually no, there probably was. There was
a scene with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds where they were nude. Yeah, but that was not
with Betty White. She was in between them. She was sandwiching. She was they needed some
mayonnaise in there. She was depressed ham. Wow. OK, I didn't know there were terms for
whatever you guys are thinking about. So anyway, go ahead. So the proposal. So yeah, what was
the blooper? Well, first of all, the blooper was basically an offset. So like they're sitting
in their director's chairs, you know, right? And Ryan Reynolds is behind the scenes. Yeah,
behind the scenes. And, you know, he sits there and they're filming him. Excuse me,
they're filming him. And in Betty's acting like she doesn't know him, like she he's she's
an like he is an assistant. Right. And she's kind of like, yeah, I'll have coffee with
some cream. And and then Ryan gets all mad. You know, I've been working with you for the
last two months and I'm telling you every single day, I play an assistant. I'm not an
assistant. And of course, she's nailing it because he's funny as hell. He is. And then
Sandra like pulls him aside. Look, just just give it to her. Just give her. She doesn't
know where she's at right now. That's great. You know, I need to go find out. Yeah, it's
just little things like that. And evidently, she's like that on on all Mr. Producer, pull
up SNL, the Muffin, Betty White Muffin, the Muffin. Oh, yeah, I said to you guys on the
I think they're a little skit on Tick Tock. Yeah, you know, you said it and it's it's
a classic. It's great. It's it's with the two ladies who do the sweaty balls with. Yeah,
it is. He already got it queued up. Oh, yeah, there it is. It's a great one. Hello. I'm
Margaret Jo McCullough and I'm Terry Rialto and you're listening to Delicious Dish on National
Public Radio. Well, Terry, tomorrow is the first Sunday in May and it's one of our favorite
holidays on Delicious Dish. That's right, Margaret Jo. Every year for one day, they don't have
the good shit like this anymore. No, sorry adult. Dietary fiber. As you all know, Sunday
is National Dietary Fiber Day. Look at those outfits. And we celebrated that together for
years. I know. Why don't you move it a little bit forward. And even though we've been friends
for a long time, you could say our shared love of fiber keeps our relationship brand
blue. Right before they introduce. Oh, there she is. Right there. That's funny. Yeah. Yeah.
Yesterday is a little bit of a rock star in the confectionery world. No kidding. She can
shake it, break it and sprinkle it, child. Please welcome Florence Dusty from Dusty's
Old Time Bakery. Hi, Florence. Dusty's Old Time Bakery. Thank you for having me. Florence,
what delicious treat are you going to share with us today? Well, a lot of people like
my pumpkin pie. And of course, my carrot cake is obviously legendary. But if there's one
thing I'm known for, it's my muffin. Look at her eyes. Wow. Get a whiff of that. Pretty
intense, right? I can't wait to taste your muffin. Wow. Warm. It's surprisingly salty.
I mean that in a very good way. Your muffin is remarkably velvety. It's true. I think
we both assumed and I think wrongfully that a baker of your generation might tend towards
a more dry or crusty muffin. Well, that's true. Many bakers from my era have dry or
even yeasty muffins. A yeasty muffin can really ruin your whole day. She's like the Bob Newhart.
How old is she in this game? Wow. The phone lines are really lighting up. She's got to
be older than my parents. 2013. Florence, there's a tangy taste in this muffin. Is that
a cherry? No, my muffin hasn't had a cherry since 1939. That makes her 17. Your muffin
sure has seen a lot. Your muffin just squirted in my mouth. It happens. I guess I'm eating
it the right way. Yeah, go to town. You know, I don't talk about it a lot, but I went through
a pretty major muffin phase in college. I would have guessed that based on your appearance.
It's the haircut. You're unveiling your new muffin today. She's over 90 years old in this
game. In 2013? I don't think this came out in 2013. No, well, actually, I don't know.
That seems about right. When did sweaty balls come out? That's been a long time. Those are
the same two that did sweaty balls with Alec Baldwin. That's been out for quite a while.
15 years? Probably. She's in her 80s, for sure. I think it just... Okay, well. Whatever. She's
18 years old. You can tell her hands, everything. But the way she talks, it's kind of... I said
earlier, it reminds me a little bit about Bob Newhart. He just has a way about him, how
he can move words around and say it. She's got that same thing, and she always hits her
cue. So she was 88. 88 years old. That's older than both of my parents. And she was doing
SNL skits. Talking about her muffin. She was sharp, sharp and witty. Compare that to Biden,
10 years younger than her. Is he not sharp? He's 70. Why do you guys say he's not sharp?
I don't understand. Yeah, well, you know. I feel... Poor Biden, man. Everyone's different.
He has no right to be president, but everyone's different as far as mental acuity when you
get older. It hits people differently. I'm 51, and my mental acuity is shit. You know
what? I did read one thing about... If these elections are so rigged, how did Trump win?
The first one? Well, Russia, right? Well, they didn't... Oh, yeah. They didn't think
he was going to win. They didn't think... Correct. Is that what it is? Yes. They didn't
do all of the ballot harvesting and the mail-in ballots. The gyrations. They didn't have
all that. They just were thinking it's impossible for him to win. They had it completely in
the bag. Correct. They didn't watch all that. I watched that footage of the news programs
when they realized Trump was going to win. I watched those over and over and over. I
love it. And it's hilarious. Yeah, because they're kind of like, guys, he just took Michigan.
They were panicked. They were. They didn't know what to do. Anyway, they didn't expect
it. Did you guys stay up the whole night? I did. No, I did not. Oh, I stayed up...
I mean, it was early, early, early. Like, all night. It wasn't... And I was freaking
out. It ended at around 1 o'clock. I thought it ended up in 2016. No, I think there was
something that dragged out. I don't remember, but I remember being up for the entire thing.
All the way through. I don't think I was. I know I went to bed in the last one because
it was so up in the air, still come midnight or whenever it was. Yeah, and then we go to
bed and we wake up the next morning and every single swing state flipped. Yeah, that's right.
That was ridiculous. It was ridiculous. It was completely ridiculous. Yeah. So, yeah,
I may have stayed up later for the 2016, but I know I've watched those videos several times.
I just love watching the glass ceiling. You know, what is Hillary going to do with all
those fireworks that she had prepaid? You know, she should just let them go. She didn't.
She's like, Trump. You know, they... Does she get a refund? Man, and people just crying,
hysterically crying. I didn't shed a tear when Trump lost. I didn't either. I was just
thinking... That sucks. I was mad. I wasn't sad. I was mad. Well, I was disappointed because
I didn't know who to believe. I was immediately convinced it was stolen. Immediately, because
it was so obvious. Anyway, whatever. You know, I was going to say one more thing. I know
I'm backtracking. Betty White. So there was somebody that knows her very, very well. It's
like her producer or something like that. And he said, he knows for a fact that she
was not at all concerned about passing, right? Because she couldn't wait to see her... I
don't know if it was her first husband, but she had a man that she said... A husband that
she like... That died early. Right. And she said he was like the greatest man she had
ever met. And she talked about... I guess she talked about it because she was... Couldn't
wait to see him again. Right. And that's cool. That's a cool way to end her story and her
legacy. Well, unfortunately, I read a story that there's a story going around out there
that the theory is she died from the booster shot. Have you heard that? No, I hope not.
That a Twitter thing came out that... Well, she got the booster shot on the 28th and she
died on the 29th or whatever it was. Right. And he came out and says, that is not the
case. Good. She did not have the booster shot. She did not die of this. She was just... So
she didn't take the booster shot? No. He's like, she did not get the booster shot. That's
not what killed her. But that story, I guess, was out there. I hadn't heard until I saw
that news story, but she was old. She was 99. Yeah, no kidding. 99, lived a great life.
Right. And have you seen the pictures of her when she was like 20? Yes. Crazy. It's kind
of crazy. The black and white pictures? Yeah, the black and white ones. I mean, you could
see her, but it's pretty significant. Yeah, you got to look pretty closely to figure out
that it's her. And she's a beautiful young woman. Well, they said that the reports I'm
reading say that she died of natural causes. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's what happens when
you're 99. You know? Well, yeah, but I mean, look at that. So in other words, she died
of COVID. On the left. Look at that. Isn't that amazing? What a great picture. So we're
looking at a picture of the side by side of when she's, I guess, in her 20s and when she's
like 99. So anyway, beautiful, beautiful lady through and through all the way to the end
of her life. We're going to, we could definitely miss her. Yeah. She looks quite essential
50s right there. Yeah. 50s as thorough as time for it. Just the hair and the pearl necklace
and the dress and everything. Yeah. And I'd be curious if it was her very first husband
is the one that she she missed and mourned for the risk of her life. I don't I don't
know who which husband it was. So following two short lived marriages, a Betty wife found
true love with game show host Alan Ludden. There it is whom she met appearing as a guest
on Passport during the show's thirst the third week. And she was married for I think about
20 years. Put that picture on the right there or the we felt we knew each other. She told
the archive an American television lumberjack action. That's kind of sexy. See if she's
any topless. So I'm sure they're out there. Do you think she really had topless? No, they're
fake. I wasn't serious. Her day it would have been pin up. She would have been a pin up
girl on the side of a bomber. Yeah, those are so cool. Those are classy, right? And
it was funny is those, you know, horn dog military guys, that was enough for them. Right.
They saw the little pin up, you know, I mean, they're the short skirts, any big old beef
shots or anything. They didn't need, you know, vagina beer. They were happy with classy pin
up. I think Paul's going to get the vagina beer. I already have it. Oh, he found nude
Betty. Well, you did not shut your mouth. You did not know. I don't want to know. No,
it's not her. No, those are Photoshop. That's a Photoshop. Oh, you dick. Yeah. Don't ruin
her legacy. She was a classy woman. That one looks like her and she's got no class. It
looks like a dead rodent, a very large dead rodent. Leave it to Sean to go straight to
his porn stash. Is that a beaver pelt? Yeah. He's like, I'm going to go to my 40s porn
stash and see if she's in there. Oh, there she is right there in my porn stash. OK. OK.
OK. OK. OK. OK. That should be illegal. It should really be illegal. I couldn't get it
off the screen fast enough. Oh, my God. All right. I'm doing another topic change. All
right. So even though I pulled up I Googled Betty White nude. Why there wasn't really
that many horrible pictures. I mean, there were a few that last one you showed was quite
horrible. Yeah, it was very horrible. So this is the first podcast in the new year. Two
thousand twenty twenty. Yeah. Let's talk about New Year's Eve. What we did. I think we were
all in it was low key. Oh, God. It was first of all, watch the football game for one thing.
Yeah, we watched a little football game. We tried to have fun. We I think we got Paul.
Did you get toasty? I did. I did. I enjoyed my it was I bought a a Jack Daniels competitor.
Kings Creek. Kings Creek. That name of it. Yes, it is a very, very good whiskey, by the
way. And I was missing mixing it with coke. And yeah, it was a cola cola. Oh, yeah. Not
Coca Cola. Right. It was just cola. We all know that we can't support your Coca Cola.
I did hear something where they're trying to be backtrack. They're backtracking a lot
of wokeness. Yeah. Well, I think it's hurt the business. And I think some of these companies
are going to realize that and start doing the same thing. I'm hoping I'm hoping to.
Well, I'm hoping 2022. I'm hoping will be a trend of that. Folks will start realizing
all kinds of stuff. I'm thinking, you know, I think Joe Rogan, I know we're bringing this
back up, but I think with Joe Rogan being as popular as he is and the fact that they
censored his video of a well-known doctor shocking is what he's going to know that.
I mean, you listen to him and you didn't even know that until I told you. Well, yeah. Well,
I wouldn't go searching for it on YouTube, but I definitely was on Spotify. That's true.
But still, I mean, just the fact that they did it and you know, there are I mean, Twitter.
I mean, Jack Dorsey's out. So they've got some new dude that's taking his place. Is
he is he out now? Yeah. He's was it the New Year's that turned it. They usually say I'll
be CEO. No, no, no, no. Like a month or two. He was out before that. And the dude that
took over. I mean, they're people left and right. I mean, they are. It's just I mean,
if you've got a right, Marjorie Taylor Green, she's out. Boom. This out permanently. Yeah,
permanent. You know, just you got Trump. Fuck her. I mean, not fuck her. Fuck Twitter. I'm
telling you, man. Big time. You know, it's just it's just a matter of time. One of these
folks, it doesn't matter who's wrong or right. It's about being able to give your opinion
about things. Absolutely. I mean, is that what it is? We live in a free country where everybody
should be able to state their opinion and make their case and have their platform. And
we don't now. We don't know. We don't have that. We we are. I don't want to be dramatic.
I was going to say something, but we have a censorship society and that's not America.
The only the only that's not America. The only outlet the conservatives have right now
really is talk radio. Right. That's it. Well, and they're trying to take a parlor and getter
and Tinder. They took parlor offline. Not Tinder. What do you mean? Tinder is very good. It's
not conservative. Tinder. I'm kidding. Me grinder. Getter. Getter. But those just those are they're
not big enough yet. No, is what the issue is. I hear you. Right. You don't see whole stories
around getter quotes. Right. I like to find out where they're at with the whole D WAC
Trump's social media platform. D WAC. What is that at today? I meant to buy some of that
D WAC. Have I missed out on it? Have I lost my window? By now, you'd be you'd be buying
less. You'd be buying it for less than I paid for. Well, I know that because you you buy
high and sell low. Right. That's your that's your investment strategy. No, that was I bought
when it was available. I know the IPO made it go crazy. Right up to one seventy five
or something crazy like that. Yeah. What did you say it was that it's been hovering around
fifty bucks. Yeah. Quite a while. Yeah. Yeah. But I'm telling you, it's going to go up.
I know. I'm planning on buying it. I just forgot. If I had remembered today, I would
have bought some. I mean, look at it. Fifty two. Look what he's showing up there. He's
showing the price. That's a twenty four. Twenty four hour period. Wow. Really? Go to 90 day.
Yeah, that's true. There you go. OK. Oh, wow. It bottomed out. Yeah, it's it's come down
significantly. And you can see the volume spikes. Yeah, that's pretty. That huge spot
volume spike when it bottomed out. I tell you what, it's on a downward trend, but it's
pretty cheap right now. Yeah. And it's unfortunate. But you know what? I still don't believe it
because I'm going to keep mine. I'm going to keep mine in. And even if it goes through
the roof, I'm still going to keep it in because I heard that if you keep it in more than a
year, you don't pay taxes on certain things. Right. Is that right? I on your capital gains.
I don't believe that. I don't know. There's a certain there are certain fees that you
don't pay. Maybe taxes was not the correct term. You'll get tax on the capital gains.
But there are certain fees that you don't have to pay if you if you leave your stuff
in there for more than a year. Right. There's something about a long held long held investment.
I don't I don't know what it is, though. But I think I have I'm obviously it was a shot
in the dark in my life. I was just going to say my last name. But whatever, you know,
certain laws, you know, I'm against. So my point is, I hope that it doesn't go against
me. I stopped. It was only a thousand bucks. But shit. No, I can't afford a thousand bucks.
Yeah, I want to I want to buy some. So we'll see. It's going to be one of those things
that I want to do it as well. And, you know, if I put a grand in it, I lose my thousand
I lose it. But you're going to kick yourself in the ass if it goes like, yeah, for sure.
Some of these others, right. It goes up to six hundred bucks like Tesla. Yeah, it's fucking
ridiculous. I know. The splits. I know they had a quad split. Tesla had a quad split.
That's when I was when it does that. I was selling options at the time. And, you know,
of course, I couldn't possibly have known they were going to do a quad split. And yeah,
it basically quadrupled quadrupled because it went back to the original price that it
quadrupled that. Yeah. You make some serious cash when it splits. Oh, yeah. So it's huge.
It's basically you. You have one. You have one. You're going to jump, guys. You're showing
the Tesla thing. You get two shares. It double. OK, so if it splits, you get four ways. If
you had one share, then you get four. But it cuts the price. The price plummets. Yeah.
So if it was one hundred bucks, it's like fighting it by four. If it was one hundred
bucks for one share, it goes to twenty five dollars for four shares because your value
is still one hundred bucks. But what happens is those four shares start going up. That's
what Tesla did. That's the graph. That's the graph he's showing you. Now, one hundred bucks.
So now you have four hundred dollars instead of one hundred dollars. Right. It's a lot
more than that. Yeah, six hundred bucks a share. It's stupid like that. When I was when
I was guys, when I was trading it and these were options. But when I was trading it, it
was four hundred and it was before the quad split. So there's no math on that one. It
would be difficult to invest a thousand dollars and make a million dollars. What to invest
a thousand dollars, it would have to go ape shit to bring it up to a million. Right. Yes,
it would. Yeah, that's some of the crazy crypto stories, right, where it goes up. You'd have
to really buy low. Yes. Like like entry level low, like this one guy that started off with
Bitcoin and paid. But then he bought a pizza for it. And they look back now and it would
be worth hundreds of million dollars. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're sure.
Remember when I was I had just moved down here and if I would have had the money, I
would have bought Apple and it was like two bucks a share. Oh, I didn't have the money.
And I was like, you have two dollars. No, I didn't have a brokerage account. I was freaking
twenty four years old. I know. And I was like, I don't know how to do this. You didn't have
apps. You didn't have any of that stuff. It wasn't this easy. And I was like, if I had
and I was like, I want to buy the stock, but I didn't know how and I didn't have the money.
Right. And I'm thinking, what's Apple at now? Is that two billion? Yeah, I'd be it'd be
different lifestyle for me right now. You know, the bring it to talking about this stuff,
the no, it was two bucks. Oh, the TV, about a thousand series from Paramount. I was at
Yellowstone where the daughter I haven't finished that series. Kevin Costner, how she's trying
to one of her jobs is working for these big companies is bankrupt to them by fucking with
their stocks. Why you you're spilling all the beans on Yellowstone. It has nothing to
do with. They all die. Yeah, there's no point. I didn't see no point watching it now. They
lose all their money because somebody is scamming them. I'm saying is that's what she does.
I thought it was very interesting because they showed her on the computer and she's
on the computer. She was shorting short stock and I don't fully understand that, but she
was shorting the stock is what it was. Well, she's buying it. Shorting a stock is selling
a stock you don't own and then you're anticipating that the stock is going to plummet and you
have an obligation to buy it back. That makes sense. No. OK, so let's do it at one hundred
dollars. Let's say you think a stock is, but you don't own it. What is currently trading
at one hundred dollars. OK, and you think it's going to drop to fifty. So you're like,
I'll buy it if it gets to 50. I'll sell it. I'm going to sell it at one hundred because
in a day from now I'm going to buy it back at fifty. That's shorting a stock. So let's
do it again. One hundred dollars is at one hundred dollars right now. You're convinced
it's going to plummet, right? Maybe you have inside information like Nancy Pelosi. So you
convinced it's going to plummet. So you basically double the amount of stock you get. No, no,
no, no, no, no, you're simply put in a reservation. You're simply you're saying I sell this stock
and you don't even own it. But the brokerage says no, the brokerage says you just sold
a stock that you don't own. You're obligated to buy that stock. Right. So you sold it at
a hundred and then the brokerage says now it's time for you to buy it. And then you
look at the price of it and it's now fifty. Boom. You just bought something for fifty
and you sold it for a hundred. You just doubled your money. Oh, I see. That's shorting a stock.
Well, what they should do is not allow the brokerage to do that. Oh, yeah. They all do.
They all do. It's called on margin. You trade on margin, meaning it's not even money you
have. You just. That's how a lot of people get in trouble. I would imagine. That's why
they all jump out windows. So imagine shorting a stock and it goes to two hundred. Yeah.
Now suddenly you you're on the hook for buying a hundred shares at two hundred when you sold
it. So that's how people get very rich, very fast. Um. Or bankrupt very fast. Not. I don't
think it makes you any. It doesn't give you an advantage of being. It doesn't. It's not
any different than. Then why would you do it? What does it make you rich? Well, what's
the motivation to do that? Shorting a stock is not any different than thinking it's going
to go up. So maybe you buy a stock you don't own. Right. We're going to buy D WAC. Like
we're going to buy it is. I think stock is a form of gambling. Guys, it's a hundred percent
gambling. One percent. And let's now like we're betting on D WAC to go up. We are. The
difference is it isn't random. Right. You go to the casino and it's not really random
there either. But you go to the casino. It's random. Black or black or red. When you're
at roulette. But like with this. But with the stock market you're gambling. But people
who are savvy and they know that, you know, this industry thing's happening. Well, it's
just a matter of this and that. Common sense when it comes to like the Trump social platform,
media platform, if you're convinced that it's going to attract millions of people, I mean,
it just makes sense. I mean, who wouldn't want to invest in a platform that's not going
to be deleting videos? I understand what you're saying. You know, Pelosi's so passionate.
She probably has. She actually shorted it and probably made 50 million. Right. And then
asked for everyone to date her. So did you see that she's claiming that everybody's frustrated
because they want to have sex with her. Nancy Pelosi. Oh, yeah. Did you see Andrew McCarthy
tweeted like on New Year's Day? Lame duck speaker. I love it. She's so lame duck and she knows
it. She's already talking. There's already been rumblings of her retiring. Right. Lame
duck. You know what? Let's just. He's the number two person. He's the minority whip.
I just you know, remember who we were talking about the Henry McKenna tenure? Yeah. And
you know, you've locked yours away. You're putting it in like a time capsule. We drank
mine. I know you drink yours. I haven't figured out what I'm doing. He put his in a time capsule
under a monument. Paul urinated his out. I know when I'm going to open mine. When Pelosi
has out the day Nancy Pelosi resigns, we're opening my tenure McKenna deal. That's on
you. No, I mean, I'm offering that with you guys. Open it. Yes. I'm going to offer it
in the three of us are going to take a shot of Henry McKenna. I say we wait another two
years. What? You ask an opinion. Go ahead. Finish two years. What's happening? For the
next presidential election. That's when you open yours. I'm not open to mine for years
and years. Oh, God. What a pansy. We have 110 Bermond's out there to try besides that
one. Really? You're going to. So you're going to put it in like a box and shoot it into
space hoping civilization or some alien civilization. It's in my safe. So in 10 years it comes back.
This is now worth 5000. We'll sell it. You're never going to enjoy it. And we'll play nickel
now. Never going to enjoy it. Unbelievable. Possibly. If I can get a shitload of money
for it. By the way, I bought like gambling. I bought 10 more of them, by the way. I didn't
want to tell you guys. All right, cool. That's why it's a win. No, no, you can't open it
up when, you know, when China takes over the world or whatever you're saving it for. So
when are we going to wake up? When is actually it's not a matter of I think we're already
woken up. When are we going when? When are these things going to happen? What things?
What? No, I'm talking about the politics. Twenty twenty two. But no, not just that.
It's just that when are people going to realize what's really going on with this vaccine?
It's you know, all the stories that are being told about starting to come out, they're starting
to admit things. Yeah, they're coming through the cracks. But it's just how it's it's damaging.
It's it's it's what is it called? A sterilizing the kids. You know, it's funny. There was
a this is the only known study known right now for it's an Amish community. And they
these community, they keep track of menstrual cycles for the females in that community.
So Apple Watch will do that. The Jew. Thank you, Jeff. So you don't need to like pen and
paper it. But the Jewish watch will do it. They are trying to repopulate. So they are
keeping track of the menstrual cycles and the rate of pregnancies that are going on
and within this this large community population control. So what what these people in this
community what they have found because they've been doing this forever. All right. What they
have done is that they have you because that's the only that is the only data that we have
because they don't keep track of that stuff for the United. They don't have data on women
getting pregnant in the cycles. OK, Apple is collecting it. Well, they may be now. But
that's not the point. The point is, is that it is sure the hell is it going to be for
public view and they're not going to share that information on the is the is the sharing
it. Well, that's my point. I'm trying to say is that they are in what they're saying
is that all the people that had taken the vaccine have a lower birth rate now. Well,
that facts. First off, the Amish people would never take a vaccine ever. They did. They
didn't. They did. Maybe the Mennonites did Mennonites. All right. There was no way the
Amish did. So maybe it was the Amish. It was a Jewish Quakers. Who are maybe Democrats?
All right. Listen, you're missing the spirit of Christian. I know. So my settle down. It's
not a story. The point is, the vaccine is jacking with women's menstrual cycles and
the pregnancy rate. No, I think it's Jackie with the fertility fertility. It's jacking.
Is it what the guys or the women? We love you, Sean. The vaccine is messing with the
women. They're not keeping track of ejaculations. They're keeping track of the women getting
pregnant. Yes. Well, no, ejaculations don't have to do with fertility. But my fertility,
but they're not monitoring the guys. They're monitoring the women and they're keeping track
of how many women are getting pregnant and what's the rate in which, you know, through
these menstrual cycles, that could be caused by the man not being able to produce a fertile
swimmer. It doesn't matter. It could be the boys or the girls that they're still having
the sex exposed to the vaccine. The birth rates are diminishing. Correct. So I just
want to make one clarification. If you're tracking ejaculations and 99, I'm not tracking
the jackalations or 99% of them. If 99% of them are outside of the vagina, that explains
a lot of the pull out method. Yeah. Well, I mean, just I think solo in the butt, solo
or solo deal in the annul, annul, annul, annul. Really? I would say that she was a
good book in the book. So that in the whole fact that it's just an autoimmune. Yeah, the
vaccine had a colleague of mine that she was talking to me today about how her mother has
been sick for 37 years old and, you know, she overcame shingles. And now all of a sudden,
after years and years and years, she's got shingles again. They come back naturally.
Well, I mean, listen to you. They do. But this was like, this was like three days after
she had the shot. Well, no, I'm not on to conspiracies. I want there's both. There's
two sides to it. She goes, no, are not just cured. They come back. It's a virus. So you
have flare ups. Well, after taking her to the doctor, the doctor admitted that the first
time in his life, he noticed that there were like 100 people that had come back with shingles.
100 under his personal care. That's a lot. I'm telling you, they were exposed to something.
No, it's jacking with the immunity. Maybe he had something to do with the alcohol swabs
that had in his office. Could be. Oh, oh, yes. Walk me through that. Well, maybe someone
had poked holes in it. Okay. And exposed it to shingles. It's chickenpox. Right. See,
that explains it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe the shingles come and go. Rubbed raw chicken.
Why are we not working at the CDC? I think we're all very qualified. I think we're as
qualified as the professor who was running it now. I'm going to agree with you. I'm totally
going to agree with you. She was a professor. Yeah. A year ago. Right. Now she's running
and dictating policy for the United States. Yeah. She's dictating. You cannot evict people
because of this. Well, that's not her call, but she's trying to make it her call. Yeah,
she is. Where does she stand on going back to school? She wants to finish her degree.
She never really did finish her undergrad. Oh, is that what you meant? Sorry. I meant
the kids going back to college, junior high, high school. I tell you what, you know, it's
unfortunate but I'm glad our kids are the age they are because I don't know what I would
do if I had a six, seven, eight year old now. No kidding. I don't know what I would do.
I think I would, if I could afford it, I'd take out a big ass loan and move them to private
school. Well, it's the same thing though, isn't it? Not any better. No, the private
schools are. Are what? They're not any better. Yeah, they are. Well, I mean. They are. They
are the quality of education, the quality of education, education and the teachers. Yeah,
but I don't from a vaccine perspective and all that bullshit. I don't think it's better.
But then it would be OK, I'm pulling you out. We're going to home school right until this
thing writes itself because there's whole communities for homeschooling. There are.
And I would pull them out of a frickin public school and you would homeschool your child.
Yeah, that doesn't mean I'm doing it, but there are homeschools where you talk about
school online. That's different than homeschooling homeschooling homeschooling is when the parents
literally teach their children. But you have the the curriculum and there's actually sports
and there's the whole nine yards, right? You do, but but you still teach them. That's fine.
I would do that. You were my kids. I would look at you. Yeah, we tried that. It'd be
yours. Your school starts at five p.m. And you go to two a.m. Yeah. By p.m. Well, I work
during the day, so your school starts at five. We're getting we're getting in nine hours
because you're taking off Friday. So we're working till four a.m. That's right. Dad,
I don't want to do that. I mean, I don't know. I don't know how I want to play Xbox. But
you know, the kids education is important enough to me where I would make a way to get
it to happen. I understand what you're saying. We how that would be. I don't know, because
I'm not that's how much we care about our kids. Elon Musk had a very interesting way
of how to put the kids through school. And he said to remove all the grades and start
off as subjects. And you have your kids and they have English. And when they master it,
they move on. Yeah, they just you basically start with one. And you know, if you don't
want to take math that year, just don't fucking take math. But you don't know each one. So
you would be like twenty eight and still on math. Yes. What I mean is that you don't master
math until you get through calculus. But certain kids excel at a certain rate with different
topics. That's that's what his point is. Some people just aren't good writers at a certain
age. Some people just aren't very good at math at a certain age. What about debate?
Debate Club. You want to be a master debater? Master debater? No, we're rubbing it a raw
on our first show back in from 2002. We're all talking. We are all talking. I am Paul.
I am Jeff and Sean. We'll be back.
