Is that supposed to be your scary Halloween?
Was that scary?
No, not at all.
No.
Oh, there you go.
Oh, is that scary?
No.
That wasn't scary.
Yeah.
We're a week away from that, aren't we?
Not even, oh, it's this weekend.
I don't even know, is it this coming weekend?
Halloween?
Oh, it's Monday.
I'm just tripping out.
It's coming Monday.
Next week is November.
No shit.
Yes, it is.
That trips me out.
I'm excited at the same time.
Yeah, it seemed to happen quick, too.
I don't know.
Well, it's October 25th, 2022.
Dudes Like Us.
I'm Sean.
I am Paul.
And I am Jeff.
We've got lots of cool things to talk about today.
We do.
Lots of really cool things.
We've got Halloween events that are popping up.
We've got people that have died.
We've got people that are still in prison, we need to talk about.
Oh, yeah.
We found out that there's a whole species in the ocean that are communicating that we
didn't realize they made noise, but they do.
Are those sea cucumbers?
I think they may be part of the list.
I'm uncertain.
I think they're sand dollars.
They're mollusks.
Yeah.
I thought they were sand dollars.
You know what?
I don't know.
I got to actually Google sand dollars.
No, you really don't.
What do they look like when they're alive?
Do they look the same as they are when they're dead?
They look like shrimp.
No, they don't.
I have no idea.
That's a shrimp.
It's a hat that they wear.
I thought it was some sort of shell.
Hello, my baby.
Hello, my darling.
I thought it was some sort of shell.
So really, that is a, when you find a sand dollar, that is a dead creature.
Well, you came over to my house yesterday.
Did you see the sand dollars?
I did, but I've always thought they were.
It's like coral.
I thought they were coral.
Yeah.
I think it's coral-y type things.
But that's an organic creature, right?
Coral.
Well, yeah.
So then the hard exoskeleton is what's left once they die.
So it is like a shell.
I guess.
Like armor.
Like a crab shell.
Yeah, like a crab shell.
Or a clam.
All right.
So I've actually, I pulled up a picture of a sand dollar since we were unable to acquire
one from anyone.
So they basically look like a flat starfish, essentially.
Do they get arms that shoot out from the sides?
No.
Well, it's disc-shaped.
It's thicker, though.
And when they die, I guess they lose that thickness and the burrs fall off, leaving
a flat disc-shaped five-tipped star.
So it's like a sand dollar pelt?
Well, they call them sand dollars.
Yes.
Pelt.
You can skin it.
It's a sea pelt.
So hold on.
They start out like a squishy, a squishy, tentacly-lickin' thing that walks around.
I'm uncertain.
Click on the bottom left, Mr. Producer, where it says alive and dead.
So they look extremely similar, except one is a...
Probably squishy.
Like Jeff says, has some pelt about it.
The echo-skeletor is left in the...
I think they're...
I think Mother Nature is amazing.
The shape of these things.
I would agree.
And when they die, it's just that they're so perfect.
You know, and they're all obviously different.
But I just think it's amazing.
Have you ever seen...
You know how they take those probes or those...
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
No, I'm not changing the subject.
Same subject.
Where they take those submersibles and they go down to the crazy deep ocean, right?
And it's like super dark and they have these really bright-colored creatures.
And we're here to search the bottom of the...
I don't remember any of that.
The meat triangle.
Anyway, so when they're...
They're super slow, but they show it on fast motion.
All right.
Where they all...
They start...
There's like a dead whale falls to the bottom and they eat it?
Yes, exactly.
And they all look like tarantulas moving super fast, but they're all super slow.
Well, they also have the huge cephalopods, which look like the pill buds, little gray
pill bugs that you find in your garden, those little roly-polies.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, they have ones in the sea that are like a foot long.
Yeah, they're huge cephalopods and they're...
They have that many feet?
Yeah, they have all the legs and everything and they're down deep.
And I think they're called...
I can't remember what they're called, but they eat all those...
They're carnivores.
Not carnivores, but what do they call those things that eat up all the dead things?
Scavengers.
Right.
You said cephalopod, what is an octopus?
That is a something-a-pod.
An octopi-pod?
I don't know.
Something-a-pod.
Yeah, I think...
Could be.
Do you mean a pod?
Octopuses are also amazing as far as a creature goes, how they could shove themselves into
tiny orifice and just like two inches in diameter.
Like a gerbil.
Oh.
Yeah, I guess so.
Yeah, gerbils you can stick in a very small orifice.
Well, I mean, octopuses are just like...
They spread out, they're big, it's like two or three feet and all of a sudden they can
squeeze down into those little holes so they can escape.
So is it say, eight-limbed mollusk of the order Octopoda?
Well, octopod.
Just like cephalopod must be...
What's cephalo?
Is that like a...
And is grouped within the class cephalopoda.
With squids, squids, or fish.
Oh, so it is a cephalopod.
Nautiloids.
Bilaterally symmetric with two eyes and a beaked mouth.
That's so they can crack open their skulls.
Can you imagine the creatures down there?
First of all, a human being down there will get crushed by the weight of the...
Well, there it says the soft body can radically alter its shape enabling octopuses to squeeze
through small gaps.
Was it octopuses or octopi?
It says octopuses.
I don't like that word.
I like octopi better.
Did you like octopussy?
Or octopodes.
That was a movie.
That was a James Bond movie.
Octopussy.
It was.
I saw that.
That should be offensive.
How did they get away with that?
No, it's octopuses.
Because it was back in the 80s and it was allowed back then.
Octopussy?
Or maybe late 70s.
Yeah.
So it was a woman that had...
You know what?
What if they named batwoman or batcat or catwoman, catpussy, pussywoman?
Pussy galore?
Well, you know, they've got all kinds of crazy artists out there that are doing this.
I mean, there are music artists out there that are just rank as fuck and saying all kinds
of horrible things.
Well, look, it's a number one hit.
What was it?
Wet ass?
Yeah, what?
W-A-P.
Wet ass pee?
Yeah.
So speaking of these...
It's crazy.
It was the number one hit in the United States for like eight weeks.
There was a scientist found that there were 53 sea creatures previously thought to be
silent.
They could actually communicate.
The creatures were sending messages all along, but humans had never thought to listen to
them.
His name is Gabriel Horwich Gohan suggests he used microphones to record the species,
including turtles communicating that they wanted to mate or hatch from an egg.
The findings claim to rewrite some of the sound to communicate descended from over a
single ancestor 400 years ago.
Whatever.
I want to skip down to the bottom.
Like sea turtles, for example, will sing from within their egg to synchronize hatching.
So I thought that was kind of cool.
Just that one little thing.
It was cool.
I bet you if they translated it, it would be like, what's up, baby?
What's up?
You guys ready, man?
I hear there's some tacos down there.
We ready to...
Baby, you are fine.
Hold on.
Damn.
This is...
Oh, you're talking about the mating.
The mating?
Oh, I was thinking about coming out of the egg.
What's up, baby?
So it's like they're texting or sending like a dick pic.
Yeah.
They're sending each other junk.
Wow.
Junk pic.
So it's an audible junk pic.
Yes.
So it's...
Hey, baby, show me your junk.
Watch it hit the ground.
Oh, they see it.
You want to hear it again?
And this guy translating it's like, man, what a bunch of freaking horn dogs.
The creatures included 50 turtles, a totura, a lungfish, and a Sicilian.
I don't know what a Sicilian is.
A lungfish.
That's a sealant camp, isn't it?
All the guys like the lungfish chick.
Oh, yeah.
Those are the lungs.
I think that's a sealant camp.
Isn't that the one that can go on land?
An amphibian?
Well, it's not quite, but it's...
You know, there was another story.
Did you guys see the story of the whale that was trapped, had a rope stuck in its mouth,
and these boats were going after it to try to free itself...
No, to free them from...
And there was like sperm whale.
So one sperm whale is leading with a rope between its mouth.
Two sperm whales are on either side of it, and there's two or three boats going after
the lead one to try to cut the rope.
And so they're trying to...
And they have it all on video.
And the guy's got his hook out, and he's trying to grab the rope.
And finally, he grabs it, and then he's trying to grab another rope and trying to cut it
on both sides.
And the sperm whale tucks his tail under and does a backflip and frees itself from the
rope.
And they were stunned.
They were completely stunned.
They have the whole thing on video.
It flips over, not in the air.
They made it sound like it jumped out of the water and did a backflip in the air.
It doesn't do that.
It just does a backflip underwater.
It was the coolest thing ever.
A little contortionist.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was super cool, and it wasn't this.
Anyway, a lot of interesting...
Well, I see all kinds of little videos like that where...
A lot of cool things happening in the ocean right now.
They got these people that catch seals.
Seals are getting caught up in nets all the time.
These guys are out on the beaches, and they're chasing after them, and they capture the little
seal.
They're snipping it with the little scissors.
Saving it.
Yeah.
Yeah, whatever.
I went to Florida a couple...
I just got back this past week, and I was exposed to some of the sea stuff down there.
I thought it was kind of cool.
I went there for work.
Yay.
You walked around picking up all these things that were illegal to leave the state.
I'm kind of curious about that.
Is it legal to remove the seashells from the state of Florida?
I think it's a class two felony.
A class two felony.
Death.
I don't know.
There are some rules.
Oh, I don't know.
I don't know about seashells, but there are...
When you go to...
There's some national parks where you're not allowed to pick up...
You can't remove rocks or trees.
Yeah, you can't be messing with stuff and carrying things out of the ocean.
It's not a park, it's an ocean.
Well, the beach is always changing, right?
So if you grab a shell, I don't think that's...
Yeah, I was just trying to make Sean feel like he was going to jail.
Yeah.
Well, I harvested...
Because they can't seem to nail him on anything.
I harvested a lot of...
Well, you found some live ones, right?
Yeah, I ended up returning those live ones.
You should have fried them up.
Yeah, you should have sucked them out of the skull like an oyster.
Like those...
Threaders.
Yeah, that was...
Because these were the...
They were not like clams or anything.
These were cool shells.
I mean, I've been all over...
I've been to many beaches all over the planet.
Floor's got a whole different species when it comes to shells.
I mean, they look like the large cool shells.
The spiral...
I don't even know the name.
I'm going to call it a conch.
Is that what you say?
Conch shell?
It looks like a small version of that, right?
Yeah, the conch shell.
The conch.
Yeah.
So there were smaller versions of it.
And yeah, there were some things that were alive in there.
Little arms that stuck out.
Yeah, these little legs come out.
Yeah, when they came out, I was kind of like deal breaker.
I put those back.
Yeah, they're kind of creepy.
Yeah, because I accidentally brought one up into the room.
Because when I say accidentally, I mean, I had like 12.
So it's like walking all over your end table?
No, I put them immediately in the sink in the hotel room.
And I ran the hot water on.
And I had to clean them.
So I put some soap in there.
I was trying to clean them off.
And all of a sudden...
You were trying to escape?
They were like, my God, man!
This little tongue is coming out of it.
I'm like, oh my God, what is that?
It was disgusting.
So I ended up taking him and throwing him off the ninth floor balcony.
Nice.
You didn't even walk him back to the beach to reunite him with his family?
I think he was gone.
I went on a-hole.
Well, he had hot unsalted water and soap on him.
So, yeah.
He was probably just sent to...
He probably cooked them.
He was gone.
Probably.
Probably could have eaten them.
Probably.
A little salt, you know.
It's actually kind of cool.
I'm sure people do eat some of them.
Little soy sauce.
Dip it in.
I'll tell you what.
My job usually slaps me in the middle of some devastation or some devastated areas.
And the place where I was at held up pretty well from Hurricane Ian.
So there was some landscape issues that they had that were quickly rectified by the time
I got there.
Yeah, it didn't ruin your resort experience.
So it was just like a full blown resort.
All you can eat.
All inclusive.
No.
Yeah.
So we're expecting you to be tromping along the completely destroyed buildings and homes.
And then you send us a picture of, with your feet up, with a pool in the background, and
there's a drink in your hand.
With an umbrella in it.
Yeah.
And we're like, hmm.
How's that devastation going out there?
Yeah, well, you know, there were some areas that there were some horrible areas.
Oh, horrible.
And it was just not where you're at.
Yeah.
Where I was staying at.
There was difference.
I mean, they had to pick what was available.
And frankly, I didn't even pick it.
It was a service that picked it.
Nice.
And they try to team up our company where they they block off a set of rooms collectively.
So did you have other people staying at that hotel with you?
There were a few out there.
Oh, from your company, you mean?
Yeah.
They kept to themselves.
I mean, I'm bummed out.
But I mean, this is a rare event that we went down there and we weren't as busy as we wanted
to be.
Right.
You know, we were kind of I think we're I want to say disappointed.
But I mean, we just expected more.
We expected to be a lot busier.
And frankly, I'm already done.
I did my work and usually the work lasts six weeks, eight weeks after to the conclusion,
even months.
And I'm already done.
Not even a week.
It's amazing how after a devastating hurricane like that, it just it just goes away.
Like the news stops talking about it.
Oh, yeah.
And then like everybody just moves on.
I mean, it can literally be less than a week later where people are like, what are you
talking about?
They're still devastated down there.
They're wiped out.
Oh, yeah.
But you know, the buildings that I mean, there are some buildings that are just fantastically
built.
I mean, they're right.
They're ready for hurricane.
Yeah.
And I mean, you could they had guests staying at the place where I was at during the hurricane.
That's how confident they were in their safer to be there than other places.
It was.
Now, that's not true about an hour north on the west coast of Florida, where I was at.
I went to a place called Big Hickory Island.
And that place, I've got pictures of a boat on top of a BMW.
I got pictures of a BMW or of some car like that in a tree.
Right.
It was it was crazy.
You know, that's all storm storm surge.
Right.
Huge big flood came in, you know, 12 foot in certain areas.
And these buildings.
So right on the coast, they've got mostly large buildings.
Resorts, right?
Yeah.
Resorts are condos.
Right.
And then on the other side of the street, they need some a lot of times they have smaller
structures and those big buildings saved the smaller structures from like the wind exposure.
Right.
You know, but they still were trampled on with the flood.
So if they have these two or three store buildings, if they are still standing, the first floor
is gone.
It's completely gone because there's those are usually garages.
Right.
And there's clean.
Yeah.
They're gone.
And then upstairs, it looks like nothing happened at all.
It's kind of like, oh, yeah, crazy.
But there was.
It's a bad one, though.
Well, I know they said that the Tampa Bay, the Bay, the water actually pulled out of
Tampa Bay.
Yeah, like a vacuum, like a vacuum.
So it's not I don't know if it's like it pulled the water out because they were because they
were afraid Tampa Bay was going to get hit.
But what happened is the water actually got pulled out of the bay and never came back
quite a bit.
Well, no, it never came back.
And now all the people who had beachfront are very upset.
They're they're really far away from the water.
So I found that interesting that.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, when you're talking about a category, you know, four or five hurricane,
it's its impact is unbelievable.
And people just can't can't fathom.
I mean, that's why I never lived in an area like that.
I'll visit.
What pulls me away is like, I'm not I'm not evacuating.
I'm going to I'm going to wait it out.
Well, you know, some of these guys, so many times they do.
And then when the one time they don't.
Now, there were people waiting for rain on the roofs and waiting on the roofs.
You know, did we say that last time last week?
No, people probably go on every time.
Probably going, yeah, we should have left.
Yeah.
And hats off to DeSantis.
They got folks that were waiting to bust his balls, you know, and it didn't happen.
He he was honest.
Well, they rebuilt that Santa Bel Bridge like completely.
Boom.
They temporarily have it three days, but it's it's cement rebuilt everything now.
And then you have Kamala Harris, who's saying that FEMA is going to, you know, communities
of color are always, always harder hit in these type of disasters.
And so the aid is going to be given in terms of equity.
So hurricanes are racist now.
They're like, oh, here's an underprivileged.
Right.
Yeah, well, they are.
They're always racist.
But no, but seriously, she was saying that the the aid was going to be dispersed on an
equity basis.
Right.
And so that made a bunch of people panic in Florida ahead of the hurricane, ahead of the
hurricane and the FEMA director who was, you know, I mean, all these people are supposed
to be non what do you call it?
Nonpartisan nonpartisan.
Right.
This was supposed to be bureaucrats who are great at their jobs, regardless of who's in
power.
And you know, that's not the that the head of every agency is handpicked by, you know,
a partisan politician like Biden or Biden's team.
Right.
Anyway, but the FEMA director said Kamala Harris's comments are not helpful.
And that is not the way we're going to be dispensing aid.
So everybody can just, you know, relax.
What made her say that?
She's an idiot.
What made her say that?
To think that that's what she just thought of that idea and like, oh, now they're going
to do it because of the vice president?
Well, because, you know, every opportunity they have to talk about to push their agenda
of equity.
Right.
So now they're talking about hurricanes.
So they're like, oh, OK, well, hurricanes coming.
That's going to affect, you know, that's going to affect communities of color and equity.
And they need to be taken care of first.
You know what I mean?
It's just it's just they're spitballing.
Right.
And so she just says stupid stuff.
And but I would just I was proud of the FEMA director to say Kamala Harris's comments are
not helpful.
And she needs to stop.
It's basically what she said.
Right.
It was great.
I was like, OK, that's a bureaucrat doing their job, like, you know, trying to trying
to solve problems and trying to be ready.
Unlike the CDC chick.
Right.
Exactly.
And partnering with the governor, partnering with the governor's team, not because it's
right or wrong or, you know, how it looks or, you know, who voted for what it is so
that people don't die.
Right.
And that communities are in the best possible preparation to not have a loss of life.
Right.
That's exactly the way the government.
And I think it's I think that still happens.
But unfortunately, I think a lot of people don't think that way anymore.
I think they still do at a certain age.
But I think a younger crew.
Everything so hyper politicized.
Yeah.
You know, I was here and I don't know if it was the five where they're like, people don't
want to live in cities that have Republicans in them.
Right.
So they only want to live in cities that think like them.
Right.
So we're getting even more and more segregated polarized.
Yep.
Right.
Yeah, it was interesting.
So I voted today, my wife and I and my oldest son that we they came over to my oldest son
came up to celebrate my birthday.
That was last weekend.
And and we went and voted.
And but on before we went there, I had this junk mail on my counter.
And one of them was a you know, trying to encourage you to be educated about who the
candidates are and what they stand for.
Right.
So it had the had Democrats on the left hand side and Republicans on the right hand side.
And it had a listing of issues in the middle of it.
Right.
And it would say yes, no, yes, no, yes.
Get that.
Exactly.
OK.
And my son was looking at it.
And every single one of them was exact opposite.
Like never was there a column that had both nos or a column that or a row that had both
yeses.
And my son was like, how is that possible?
I was like, what are you talking about?
He goes, look at this.
How is it possible that not one of these people, you know, think differently than or think
similarly as somebody across the aisle for at least one issue on this card?
And I said, that's exactly the problem, son.
That is exactly the problem.
Yeah, it is.
I mean, there I mean, because there should be there are I can promise you there are Democrats
out there that are pro life.
And guess what?
There are Republicans out there that are pro choice.
Sure.
So but but you know, we're so on the voting when you win vote, do they say whether the
Republican or Democrat?
On the ballot, the ballot.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, of course.
Yes, of course.
But what they removed that they've had in the past and maybe maybe it's just president
was the straight straight, straight ticket.
I noticed that.
They yeah, you have to go through every single candidate.
That's been a couple of elections.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Because I did remember that I was like, yeah, I don't think they're going to have that.
Because my wife was like, I'm just going to punch the Republican thing.
And I usually do anyway.
Even when that was there, I never did the straight ticket because I didn't trust it.
I was like, I want to look at each one.
I want to punch each one.
Right, right, right, right.
So I always did.
I never did straight ticket, even though I did in the end.
Yeah, I never used that selection.
Yeah, I get it.
I get it.
I mean, and yes, should we all be educated enough about every single race at every single
level to where there might be one candidate that resonates with us more than somebody
that is aligned to our own party?
Probably.
But for the most part, back to my original point, all the Democrats think a certain way.
All the Republicans think a certain way in terms of the issues for the most part.
Well, you have to tell the party line.
It's even more so than I think it has been in the past.
Yeah, I think it's more so than ever.
I mean, if you remember when Manchin held out for one of the votes and they were in
cinema and they were just beside themselves.
They literally got death threats.
Why can't you tow the party line instead of do what your constituents who want?
Ultimately, Manchin caved.
He did cave.
But cinema, I think she never did.
She never did.
Yeah, I'm proud of her.
Like they want to get rid of the filibuster.
Still, both of them are like, no, we're not doing that.
But they both utilize the filibuster.
And you know, both parties for sure.
Both parties.
So it's just like whatever is convenient.
And it's interesting to find out their arguments, you know, or probably to try to pass something.
Yes.
And then all of a sudden, Democrats are, oh, we want to keep the filibuster.
And then it's vice versa.
Well, you know, it's just it's a joke after a while.
Yeah, it is.
Anyway, I thought that was interesting insight or feedback my son was giving me because that's
you know, a lot of you a lot of young people like, you know, I think they just I don't
know.
I don't think they're clued into kind of like the intricacies of politics.
Right.
I do wish it was easier for college students to vote.
I know they could register down at College Station or up in Arkansas or drive home.
But your son may be able to up in Arkansas.
I think if you're out of state, right, I think you can absolutely valid.
But our boys cannot.
They'd have to drive home or they'd have to register down there in College Station.
Interesting.
Is it too late for him?
I'll look into that.
I don't know.
I looked yesterday and they said college students that are out of state can absentee valid.
OK, I'll look at it.
You're in state.
You cannot either register where you're going or drive home and do it.
That makes sense.
Which sucks because yeah, because they're not going to come home.
Yeah, they're not going to drive home for that.
For that?
No.
Yeah.
I mean, I was lucky to have my son drive.
Actually, the only reason why I drove up is because of my birthday, not because, hey,
God, I want to come home and vote with you guys.
I mean, you'll never hear him say that.
Right.
So and he said, I don't care about any of those stupid elections like mayor elections
and city council elections.
I just vote for president and whatever.
Well, it's those smaller ones that actually dictate more policy that affects you.
That's what I told him.
I said it's the school board.
You may not care about school boards right now, but someday you might.
Right.
Because, you know, if you have kids or when you have kids, but the city council, absolutely.
Makes makes decision for you.
If you're like, why the hell can't we buy, you know, blah, blah, blah, you know, oh,
well, you know, the city council just passed an ordinance and you can't buy that anymore.
Right.
You know, that kind of thing.
So anyway, interesting.
It's good.
You have plan on going to vote sometime this week.
Yeah.
Because I don't want to I don't want to deal with it on election day.
Well, and you know what?
I read something very interesting.
So apparently Democrats are totally crushing Republicans in early voting numbers.
And so there was a strategist this.
Oh, God, who was it?
Call Carl Morris.
No, Dick Morris.
You know what that is?
Dick Morris.
Yeah.
Who's Dick Morris?
He was with Clinton for a while.
OK.
Any kind of change.
Yeah.
Anyway, so Dick Morris was like, I've been warning the Republican Party over and over
and over again, and they're doing it again.
They're not they're not getting their voters out for early voting.
And I was like, oh, and they're like and they always pride themselves on crushing the opposition
on on Election Day.
But he made a good point.
He goes, don't why leave that to chance?
Because so many people, you know, for one reason or another, don't vote on Election
Day, even though they intended to write.
It's raining that day.
They were late to pick up their kid.
They you know, they they read on the news that there's no you know, they for one reason
or another felt like is no point.
Well, I want to do it just so I don't stand in line.
Right.
Why?
Well, they don't want to stand in line.
And so he was just hammering like, you know, Republican strategists and I guess the Republican
National Committee or Committee in general about not making that a bigger deal.
Anyway, so yeah, it had me a little little worried.
I mean, I don't know if it's out of our hands.
You could vote and that's all you can do.
That's all you can do.
Well, you can vote a couple of times.
Well, this is true.
They made you check the check your ID when you walked in.
No, they you have to give them your ID.
Yeah.
And then they say, let's say from out of the country, would you be able to get in there
and vote?
No, no, you have to be registered in that county to vote.
Yeah.
So how does that work?
If they I mean, there's talk that all these illegal aliens are able to vote.
So how are they voting?
Not here.
Not in Texas.
No.
They're not allowed to let them vote, which is that was against our our constitution.
It's a state law.
States run the election laws.
I thought that was why each state had to change the rules like they did last time.
I thought it was against the Constitution.
You have to be a citizen of the United States.
Not to vote.
Apparently.
I don't know how they're getting around it.
If it's I don't know, it must not be in the in the Constitution, obviously, or the Bill
of Rights or the question is, do you have to be a citizen to vote in the United States?
I'm obviously going to go with no.
But well, so you what?
So how long do we have?
Is it November 8th we have to vote?
When is the when is Election Day?
It's that Tuesday.
So it's the first on it's a Tuesday.
Then it is the eighth.
Yeah.
November 8th.
So it's that first.
So they're open tomorrow, right?
Yeah.
They're open every day until then.
So I'll go tomorrow.
I'll find time.
I've got an inspection tomorrow at 1030.
So if you want to come by and scoop you up after that, text me because I got some calls
tomorrow if I'm available.
I'll go with you.
It'll be 130.
Anyway, I do recommend that because it was a piece of cake.
So us.gov who can vote?
You can vote.
You know, if you ask federal, state, local elections, if you are a U.S. citizen, some
areas allow non-insensitivity, local elections only meet your state's residency or requirements.
You may be homeless or you may be a loser or 18 years older on your birthday before
Election Day.
Some areas allow 16 year olds to vote in local elections only.
OK, well, that's interesting.
Local elections only.
So some are allowing non-citizens or as young as 16 to vote.
So they can't vote for Senate or Congress or Presidency.
That's right.
They can only vote for governor, mayor, governor, mayor, governor, city council, school board.
OK, well, that's a little.
What about House of Representatives?
No, that's federal.
That's district though, isn't it?
No.
Well, we have state reps.
They should be able to vote for those.
They just can't do your Congress.
You can't vote for those.
Well, I mean, like District 15, for example, Congressman Gonzalez.
I mean, is he part of Congress or?
He's part of Congress.
Yes.
So if it's Washington, D.C., right?
Congress people or senators, non- that's not local.
But state legislature that meets in Austin.
Yes.
You can vote for them.
That's right.
And those have senators and representatives.
Correct.
Because it's a two chamber house.
That's ridiculous.
Yeah, it is ridiculous.
But I tell you what, it's I'm encouraged reading that because it's not as impactful as what
I thought.
You know what I mean?
It will just dictate the direction of that state.
Yeah.
And you know what?
To me, California is lost anyway.
New York's lost anyway.
If they want to make it worse by letting non-legal residents vote and continue.
I mean, I don't know what direction that takes them, but whatever came about with the July
6th.
Did they have some sort of January 6th?
Did they have some sort of thing on TV?
They had another one.
Another day.
And they voted to subpoena Trump.
Yeah.
Well, to come in to testify.
Well, apparently, who was the dude that that worked for Trump that got he was brought up
on charges of fraud because he was going to take private money and build the wall?
Bannon?
Yes.
Thank you.
Steve Bannon.
Apparently, he's going to jail for three days because he is denying the subpoena.
And they're literally going to send him to jail.
For three days.
Now, do they have a no bail on that deal?
Yeah.
So they let him out immediately.
They should.
And then he can deny it again and go right back to jail and they let him out immediately
again.
Right.
It's just like a cycle.
Yeah.
Do you see the one?
I think I sent you one where the guy pushed the guy in the subway.
Did you see that?
Mm hmm.
Yeah, that was crazy.
I saw that.
I was like.
It was 100% premeditated.
He puts his bag down.
Starts to scope it out.
Yeah.
Did that guy die or get hurt or?
I don't know.
No, he jumped out.
He got back out.
Yeah, he made it out.
I'm sure he hurt himself, but yeah, he didn't.
He didn't.
He didn't get crunched.
And so what did they let him go?
Did they let him out already?
I don't know if they ever caught the guy.
I don't think they found him.
They've got pictures of him trying to escape, but I've never heard anything about, you know,
he's premeditated.
But it turned out that the dude didn't get hurt except for, you know, maybe abrasions
or something like that.
But they got photographs of him jumping over.
There he is.
Right on right there.
Yeah, that's exactly him.
Yeah, look at this.
Yellow hoodie on with.
The guy's on a cell phone.
And boom, just knocks his ass right in the damn.
What's the motivation there?
I don't know.
The 32 year old victim was not hit by a train, but did sustain injuries.
You know, that's ridiculous.
Common City subway system is up more than 41 percent.
Yeah, I don't understand.
According to New York Police Department.
The mayor was kind of like, yeah, you know, we got we got three and a half million people
on the subway every single day.
And to have like six events happen with three and a half million people that brings the
Person is down so much. It's almost nothing and you and you I
Don't think I don't think the mayor sounds anything like that. That's my Tracy. What's his Morgan? That's my Tracy
Yeah, but check this then then apparently he said something about you know
If they would be more diligent and spend less time on their phone, you know, basically keep your head on a swivel
Yeah, you like basically, you know take care of yourself. Yes
Whatever. No, I'm paying you to take care of that. That's why I pay taxes for the police department
Well in it you look what I was down in New York. I was on the subway. I was extremely vigilant
My ass didn't go near that edge and because I there was hoodlums everywhere and
And I was unable to bring a gun. So I was definitely on edge down there and hell that screw that
There's a lot of people you don't know and then once you get in the goddamn subway itself
I sent you all those pictures of all the sexually explicit stuff
They have all on the the trans and they got the tongues and you know, I didn't see any of that
Yeah, you guys just forgot what they were but there's some some advertisements on there about the trans community and I didn't see
There's just a bunch of crazy stuff. There's just look if I were bringing my kid on that subway, you know
I felt that the advertisements on the subway wall would have been inappropriate
And it's just that that kind of stuff I'm like, come on man, really
I was in DC and I went to the Titans in Redskins game and I was in the subway with Aaron back
I stood there right on the edge and I looked at everyone I said bring it
Did you have your Tomahawk out bring it baby your hatchet try to push me?
No, they don't do that. They don't do that at the Redskins game
Well, maybe they did before they they beat then they became the commander. What do they do now to shoot guns?
They shout out commands. No, they do these command prompt. They do the stupid euro thing
What's the stupid euro that they do a soccer game?
No, no, that's the same thing
Okay, just stop like a vuvuzelas stop no, it's that it's that stupid European soccer
Yeah, this is going no
I'm sorry. I just couldn't leave. I mean like the Irish folks they go
European what let's see if we get a European
We're not gonna I don't want to hear it. Anyway, I'm like, why is it? Why are they doing this at NFL games?
I mean, come on. Well, it's because they can't do anything else
They're slowly but surely stripping of us all of our fun. Yeah, cuz we can't do the karate chop
Well, it was the Tomahawk chop, you know, the chiefs still do it and the chiefs aren't gonna give it up either
Good for them and imagine that one's a blue city. One's a red city. I'm just like come on
It can't be that
You know what I mean?
Wherever there's blue
Wherever there's red. I mean just like it just makes me nauseous. Oh
We're trying to find sports songs
This is East Germany East
This is kind of scary looking who they're they're they're walking
This is creepy take high Hitler stuff I know
Wow, I don't like that one at all
This is a river
River
Tell me how I
Tell you what they love their soccer
They're psycho man all of them
Yeah, there's some there's some soccer games that got out of hand when oh there are people that are
Calls a bad shot or you know, I mean the crowd will literally
become unseated and get down on the field and
Enrique Havoc. Oh, well first about the role
For one thing they're all shit-faced right and so when there's a like some sort of trouble
There's a stampede people like well people get crushed up against, you know fences
Also, it's a crazy shit happens at soccer games
Oh
God, what's this one? All right. Well basically going through different European
European
No
No one likes us no one likes us
We don't care. We are bill wall
No one likes us no one likes us
It's fascinating
Well, the stadium is very empty except for that one spot yeah sure but the acoustics are fantastic they are and they're very loud
Good for them. Oh god. Somebody's got tear gas. What is that? Well, it looks like a
Okay, all right
I
Like I like the I believe that we will win
I believe that we will win they do that in the in the high school games here is kind of fun D
And all the kids are jumping around like, you know, like salmon like soccer hooligans
Speaking of hooligans, Brittany Griner was denied
The Russian court rejects appeal over the jail term
Yes, nine years
Is that is so there now there are like even Democrats that are getting like furious with Biden that he hasn't solved this problem yet
No, and it hasn't freed Griner. Well, I think it's I think because it's difficult because
He tried to let some folks go that or jailed for pot here if he did that
Why what about all those folks who got bussed for the same thing here in the States? Yeah, that's bullshit
But right here here is what he says
The exception that's a great point Brittany Griner herself. She was like the the she
Apologized by her honest mistake honest mistake
It was it was she apologized for her honest mistake in the appeal hearing the the video saying it's been very very stressful
You know grinded 32 convicted in August smuggling cannabis oil
And but you know what? She'll be in her 40s when she gets out. Well, I mean, I'm just thinking to myself
You're gonna go to a foreign country and you're gonna and you're gonna take pot oil with you ash
Sheesh, I'm just I'm sorry. I don't have I don't have a lot of sympathy. I guess I guess they get so
Emboldened entitled entitled emboldened. Nothing will happen to me. Oh, I'm in Russia
I don't really mean much over here or even worse than that. I'm Brittany Griner
Well, yes, yeah, I'm Brittany Griner. They love me here. I mean they Russia can't wait to have me here because I'm gonna be I'm a celebrity and
I mean, come on
I mean, I'm sorry. I don't you know, it's not just there
You know
It's anywhere anywhere these anywhere. Yeah, these athletes are fucking up like that
I mean they need to be held accountable. Yeah, I don't I mean it sucks
But look, here's the deal if she were in like she was like in some sort of gulag where you know her her life
Like she's gonna be dead or something. Yeah, I wouldn't want that for her
I want her to do the to do the time for doing the crime
Well, I'd say what I mean had it had it been Singapore. I mean, I don't know if Singapore still does that
But when I lived in Indonesia, there were two British girls that got caught with pot and they got hung
Really? They were hung like pot oil
They were hung like publicly. Damn. Yeah on the town square. I
Yeah, I don't remember where but I mean, yeah, they were hung they were killed
It was a death penalty if you got caught with drugs
That's crazy. And it made it. I mean this back in the mid 80s. You know being foreign
I mean I could imagine a couple some canes will cane them. Yeah, they came to I mean they came people too
It was crazy. They came to the girls and then hung them. Well, I don't know probably god damn
Probably kingdom while they were hanging just like pegya tis. Yeah, they're like oh
It is that's why I told
Telled Stephen I didn't you know, if one Brandon ever goes out of town or out of the country
I'm like you need to recognize where you're at. Oh, absolutely. You know, it's not the same
right and apparently
they're so
Self-absorbed there's so something that they just you know, whatever they don't care about American. They think they're immune
Oh
They're they're exempt. Maybe that's the word they're exempt from any sort of
Just kind of thinking about well, they're they're in the they're in the fiscal bubble and they just their
Any grinder but yes, I mean just their whole lives have been like, you know passed off and no, it's alright
We'll let them go. No, it's okay. You know, it's like
It's like our kids, you know, they get away with bloody murder
Yeah, you know, I guess that's just generation after generation after generations. It gets worse and worse
I know I got away with a lot of shit. I never in a second thought my kids would be getting away with more shit
Yeah
But it is what it is times are different. I moved out of the house
And I was 18 never looked back
I'm not saying
That they're because they're not moving out now at that young age
That's a good bad or good thing or bad thing. I just think it's more of a sign of the times with the with the coven with
The economics the way they are
I don't think it's crazy. I think it's coven that's that's relatively over the last two years. Yeah, but Colvin put my daughter
Essentially here it created
I think I think it may have it created some more but I think already I think this generation was already staying at home longer
But it may have caused some more to come home. Yeah, that wouldn't naturally of but
Yeah, I think I think the kids these days are just taking longer to get out whether that's they can't find a job
Or they just don't have the motivation or whatever the theory. Yeah, whatever it is. Yeah
Well, I will tell you I did something I've been waiting to do forever
Damn, I got a fucking headache all of a sudden
Let's talk about the bourbon. No, I didn't slam your burden. No, no, no, we need to talk about the bourbon
But before we do that, everyone knows that
We were talking about sleep apnea stuff and how you know, Sean needs to get it blah blah blah. I took the first step
So I took the second step. I don't know which step it is now, but I ordered the piece
I couldn't do it at the hotel while I was out of town because they were like you
There's a lot of Bluetooth interface in hotels. So you didn't want to mess up with that
But what it is is that you sleep with this thing on your finger and it tethers to a watch a little wire
It tethers to a little it's not it's a it's a watch looking device
It's not a watch doesn't tell time or anything like that and it takes a battery and it blinks and then there's another tether that goes
And you put something over your trachea would be
Essentially and you and you stick it there and so it records you gurgling I guess
And all those weird noises, so I did it last night and it's a one-time use. So I think I started around 10 o'clock
Plugged it in and you listen to yourself later. No, no, no it
At this point, it didn't let me listen to anything. It doesn't come up with a report
What I did is I hit I started going to bed around I guess 1030 ish. I I was tired trip whatever blah
I just started laying down and relaxing and
You know, I was up several times in the middle of the night because our kids
Have this habit of wanting to stay up all fucking night long and go to bed at fucking 7 a.m
It's just the craziest fucking thing. I've ever heard of not healthy. Yeah, no, it's not but whatever that's what they're doing
So whenever they would make a noise
I would get up for a second and I would recognize that they're up, but then I would go right back to bed
I take some deep breaths and it's gonna record that so anyways at when I got up this morning
I hit end and I
Took like a couple minutes and uploaded a bunch of stuff and it says hey, we've your sleep study was successful and
We got lots of data and we will be able to send for the to the doctors for review
So this is by the Loft a lo of TA and they said we'll get back to you
Yeah, and then 20 seconds later an ambulance pulled up to the front
Like dude, I don't even know how you're alive. Yeah, they're like we've heard noises before
We've never ready to shock you back
We're a helicopter's landing in the first
This is not this is not Sean this is
Hopefully was a good night of sleep apnea for you. Yeah, well, I could it wasn't a lousy night
Yes, it was a typical night because I was tired when I get up in the morning and I'm tired
I get what I get up in the morning and I'm tired. So I'm I'm happy that the test is over
I can't wait for the results to come in. I don't care what the expense is gonna be. I'm glad you took
I'm gonna watch her come you have nothing wrong
Yeah, they're gonna go we heard you slept like a baby. Yeah, we heard that
We've never recorded such sound sleep of the human in any study we've ever done
No, I and that will be like Jeff and I disagree. Yeah, we heard it. I asked the kids we were horrified
You know, they they they said last night I was loud as fuck. So
Well, then yeah, that's why we can't sleep cuz you're doing that yeah, we can't wait that's why you get up then we go to bed
Well, we have to stay up till 7 a.m. Because you it's gonna change my life
I mean, so here's here's what's gonna happen in frankly, it's probably gonna change my kids life
So, you know the downstairs is my domain
Because you know, that's where I sleep so now that this snoring issue is gonna go away with the sleep apnea machine
I'm gonna be able to sleep in my own bed
Right. So there's that but then now nobody's gonna be monitoring downstairs
There's that so when I say monitor you don't know you kids are all grown. You don't want to be monitoring that anyway, but
Well, look, there's a lot of stuff going in and out in and out and in and out and it's more than once
I found out the door was fucking wide open. Oh god, you know, but they're they're just they're not all there sometimes and that includes our producer
I mean he doesn't mean to do it. I'm not
Pickering maybe, you know, maybe the wind just blows it open. Well, maybe your crazy ass dog
Bronco opens it and takes away the neighborhood dog
Whatever that's the only oh, yeah, that's right
He had a dog that knew how to open his door open the door and grab a beer and turn on the TV and sit on the
Couch. Yeah, I mean that was an incredible dog
Whose dog was that? You told a story about it
He wasn't able to get a beer, but he opened definitely open to the door
It was freaking hilarious like Kramer from from Seinfeld. He was open up the door. Hey, what's going on guys?
Wagon his tail everywhere the dogs that he's smelling each other's butt. Hey, I'm just here for a little bit here
I'm gonna go outside real quick outside take a few peas mark area come back and say hey
I'm gonna climb on your couch for a little bit get off the couch get off the couch
Get off the couch and he's like I'll get off the couch now
I'm trying to think if I've ever come home to another dog just kind of randomly being there
Yeah, that would be that would be a freaky experience. But well, I'm excited about it. It's gonna be
Did they tell you a turnaround time a week two weeks no, they didn't they didn't so well
We'll just see hopefully it'll be soon
You know, hey look, it's it's I'm taking steps. This thing's gonna be happening. I've got my
Insurance that's kicking in
What's your signup period now? Yeah, have you done it? No
No, I've got to
it is an
Like it ends like on the 6th of November. Yeah, that's not open yet. Yeah, so I've got you're what?
Oh you're opening Roland mine mine is open. As a matter of fact, I need to I think it'll still be open by the time
I get back from from my hunting trip. So yeah, I mean so I need to I'll go in there roll
I have no idea what I'm gonna be doing. I don't know what I'm gonna be checking, you know, well you need to okay
So does your wife have insurance that covers the family? Yeah, so it's just you. Yeah. Well, I need to find out
Well, you need to compare. Yeah, I need to find out find out which one has better coverage
Which one has cheaper premiums which one you know all that kind of stuff
You need to compare the two plans that you have and she has and make a decision
Which one would be the smartest one to use for your family? There you go
All right. Well, let's talk about the bourbon. It's actually is the burp
It actually has this this is the strongest bottle that's ever been made
Right. Oh, yeah, it's quite beefy. This was done. Well turkey would you when you talk about bother you're talking about the actual
Bottle now, it's very beefy because it fell out of the car once Paul's stacked it in the wrong position. No, no, no
I was not there. It was well you had got out of the car. No, no, I wasn't there when this happened
This is a different experience that you guys
This is yes
This is when we went down to pick up Stephen and yes, thank you. You open the back door to get your stuff
You watched it it took like 30 seconds for it to roll and he was like it fell out. No, no
They're not what I did there and watched it happen. Yes. He's like, oh it's rolling
Didn't even thought we were time you like Sean Sean Sean do something Sean for the love of God man
I'm diving over the sea. Yeah, you're just gonna stand there. Okay, I'll try to save it your belly
It's stuck between the ceiling like share
so my
Re that was you getting stuck my god help me. I'm lodged. All right, so all right. I
Recall it now. I recall it now. I opened up the side door got out and it was it was like
Weirdly under the seat
No, like resting on my heels and I had no idea so whatever
I'm gonna fast forward you let it roll out of the car and it hit the ground did not break
Did that break it did not break it chipped it fucking big chunk of glass came out of it
How does a bottle chip and not break? It's a beefy bottle. I don't even care. We can talk about the bourbon
It's actually not bad, but the bottle is more impressive than ever. Well the man's bill
Well, first of all, what is it white corn? Well, it's castle and key
Key castle and castle and key what batch is this? Mr. Producer? Yeah, let's see
It's on the bottle here. It's uh, and it's a it's not a cheap one. Is it? What is it?
How do you remember about 50 bucks? Oh 50 bucks. Okay, it's batch number
five
batch number five
Okay, excellent the match bill 73
Number five. There you go
73% white corn 10% ride 17% malted barley and what do we think?
All right, the nose the nose was like there was absolutely no ethanol II smell at all
But we were all a little confused by it. It was very different. Yeah, I didn't get much nose at all very different
Well, I still don't really okay it really it's it's got a lot of similarities to the tx whiskey
Okay, minus the pecans and the walnut nutty kind of flavor to it, but it's it's extremely sweet minus everything that makes it a dessert
But we said it was dessert. I compared it to an oatmeal raisin cherry cookie. I definitely smelled and
It'll be raised and cherries. Yeah, I had the cherries just a little while ago
Yeah, I definitely smelled the oatmeal when I was doing the nose, but it's got it. It's got a nice
I'm gonna put this I mean how many times have I said something's a five and a half or six or six and a half
I'm gonna put this as a seven. I think so. I think it's in the upper tier upper mid
Yeah, seven or seven and a half. I mean, this is solid. Yeah castle and you're a key distillery. I heard the first batch
This was a very anticipated. This is a brand new distillery
Okay, and it's where give me is there a little more information about the distillery itself. Mr. Producer castle and key
Is this an Indiana? Is this a tough? It's up in Kentucky. I believe it is Kentucky. Okay. Yeah. All right. Well, maybe
Let's see small batch. This is a small batch bourbon. Okay, and
And the our story that's what I would go with our story
All right, Kentucky, there we go. It is
Right and I'm eh Taylor they were oh they've been around a long time prohibition force the closing of the story in 1920
Well, no, this is doses of new
Venture I thought I don't look like it
Abandoned a story in 2012
He talked about he couldn't help stop thinking about the legacy and potential visited the property and it looks like he took it over and
And bought it. He built a brand at the same distillery. All right, so maybe
Maybe they're just kind of rejuvenating. I think if they're just rejuvenated old distillery an old distillery
Yeah, this is a new bourbon. Okay
But they're there it's it's being done in an old distillery
Anyway, I'm very impressed with the labeling. It's very unique very impressive the body
very unique
Solid bourbon. I
Like it. Yeah, I think we picked a winner on this one. Yeah, and did we know how long it's been aged?
Does it it's a hundred proof we didn't say that four years. I don't know if it's it's four years. Don't you said
Looks like it is four years. Yes, sir. Okay solid. I tell you what this is better than some of the ones of an age longer than that
So very nice nicely done
Castle and key and this segment is sponsored by Castle and key. I'm kidding you go
We don't have any sponsors yet

No, we all agreed. He sounded absolutely horrible and
We had this conversation about how all these other bands are like hiring
Was that the first time we younger guys to like help carry the way beef them up and everything
But he didn't have anybody and I was like, maybe he's holding out thinking anyway, Barry told me he saw him and said
Uh-uh. It was must have been a bad actually he was there. I think he was there for when it was really bad
And he saw him again and said he was unbelievable. He killed it really so he we were kind of you know
Surmising that you know, he just had a you know, like a cold cough or something or cold or was getting over something
Anyway, so that's encouraging. So I mean, I mean not that that would have been a reason for me never to see our
Your speed back in the game, but yeah Saturday if they're coming over 10, I say we do it. Let's go
Well who and who they usually don't play by themselves who are they?
Well, maybe they're playing a longer set Choctaw usually they don't do to to yeah, it's usually just a one-bay it is
Yeah foreigners that way
Which she'll like to go to that one. Yeah
Absolutely would like to go to that one. Yep. Let's do it. Let's get tickets. Sure
We haven't been to a concert in a while and this time we're gonna do the full body cast
of
Liquid
Penis Oh to smuggle in well
Well, the arm sling wasn't enough. We said we needed Oh such that video as well that lady
Oh, they had all these had like a gallon. Oh
Yes, she acted like she was pregnant. Yeah. Well, one of us could be a transgender pregnant
Tell you what we better start gobbling up tickets now because they're in the hundreds. They're already going quick. Yeah, they're
They're 50 bucks when I looked I serious I mentioned to you a couple months ago. Yeah. Oh shit right now
That's what it says 50
Hold on this is what section two. Oh boy. All right. So the lowest price currently is a hundred and seven dollars
That's not it's not that's not an ender
Are you a speedway again 50 bucks was a close that close to an ender?
Well, I mean are those like really good tickets or they just going up and up and up and up what says row of the
That section two is where you want to be
It is not on the floor. I don't want to be on the floor. No, you want to be in the upper balcony
Yeah, that that first little
Angled section. Those are great. Maybe within the first five rows of the upper deck
Wouldn't be bad either. I mean, it's really not a bad seat in that place. It's a great venue
Yeah, it really is. Yeah, we kind of screwed the pooch. I mean really should have
Yeah, thanks for bringing it up early. I did I mean so like now the area that we want them
Right. Oh my god. Okay where we sat last time where I had Shrek sitting in front of me
Those seats are 400 a pop. Yeah pass
What who'd we see there?
lover boy
Yeah, we waited two years for that concert. He was worth it, too. I thought they did good
I thought the guitar is a great concert leave the guitar sucked. Yeah, I think he was half-assed three four five
Yeah, six rows back. We've got 179 a piece. No. Yeah, we're gonna have to wait
We'll have to wait for them to get a new bassist
They may cancel. I mean, that's a month out. I don't essentially I don't think that bassist was active
Yeah, he might have been a founder. Okay, isn't no longer with the man. Gotcha. Yeah. Well back to the
I'm glad we talked about that and it's kind of disappointing
Yeah, I don't know
Looking at the the tickets. I mean like I said the the hundred and seven dollar ones
When you're looking at them
They are they're in the nosebleeds. They're obstructed
Well, I mean they've got large patches that are available
140 bucks a peach piece
So let me tell you about the the commander's Titans game we went to so my sister bought the tickets, right?
And if you looked outstanding it was unbelievable. I
I was shocked. I literally I don't remember getting pictures
So no, I think it's like you are underground
It absolutely was so let me tell you how this was there's an upper deck
There's a mid layer and we were in the mid layer and the mid layer is literally extends
Underneath the upper deck to where if you're sitting in the back of that
You actually can only see half the field like really like you can see the bottom half of the field
Because the upper deck blocks your view
So when you look like those seats are completely empty all the way around the stadium
underneath that upper deck
So and I'm talking I'm talking maybe
15 15 rows of seats are completely empty. So I
Ended up getting up. Is that a new stadium? No, no, no, no. Yeah. No and it is old
anyway, so I ended up getting up and
and
Pacing because all those rows were all empty and I would crouch down and watch the game to where I could see the whole field
I would crouch down and so it made it funny enough
It made it an interesting football watching experience because it was almost like
You know not not in my living room or anything, but I had the freedom to move around and right and do stuff anyway, but
Hell no
Hell no, she probably paid a pretty penny for those two
She was not happy and she was apologizing to me and I was like Jen. Don't worry about it
We were watching the game. It was a great game. I don't do you know how it ended?
So we were up and
Once again, the Titans offense couldn't stay on the field and in the fourth, right?
And so it's always up to the defense to to to win the game
Cousins no Wentz Wentz drives the Redskins all the way down the field. There's like two seconds left in the game is fourth quarter
Fourth fourth down they're on like the three yard line
To score they win and they throw a pick throw a pick on the goal line
And yeah, we basically run it out and you know end the game anyway
So he was it was crazy and all the Redskins fans were pissed off the commander's fans were totally pissed off your in your Titan jersey
Oh, and there were a ton of Titans fans really? Oh more than I've seen on any road game
So Titans fans are fired up right now. I mean and Bengals fans should be too. Wow. Yeah, they look good
Wow, I think it's gonna be to be honest. I think it's gonna be another
Bengals Titans AFC championship game. You don't think the Bills and Chiefs
Struggled the last game they played who did they play?
He's they've looked human put it that way. Yeah mortal. I even think the Reds the Chiefs look mortal
Yeah
But the teams that are getting stronger are the Titans and the Bengals. So we'll see what happens
I mean, we play the Chiefs here in a couple weeks and I'll be at that game at Arrowhead. So
We were like ten games this year
Huh? You're going to like ten games. I'm going to two eight do no you went down to Houston
Well, that wasn't tight Washington. Oh, that was the Titans. Oh, that was the Chargers and the Texans
The reason why we had to do that is cuz Brody has never been to a game
Gotcha, and we were gonna go to the Texans game this coming weekend, but I'm going El Cunting
So I was like we got to pick another game and of course it couldn't be the Titans
And so we just decided on the the Texans and the Chargers because that's really what the point was to be with his grandfather
Right, right and see a game
Anyway, so it worked out great. It was a actually exciting game and it was a fun experience. So it worked out really well
but anyway
So I'll tell you one thing that dudes like us don't get to experience a whole lot
What's that the amount of days Paul gets to take off? I know I I only get 48 days a year
Only I'm kidding. I get 20 like everybody else I get 20 something days
What do you get you get 20 something days? We had six weeks. Are you serious? Yeah, you get more than I do then
What are you bitching about? I've been on my job for 15 years. You've been at your job for 15 days
No, like six months
No, like six months. Yeah
I'm really important
Sort of it's true. I don't know how much time I have totally is not him. I am no input
You have no idea how much vacation you have. Yeah. Well, I mean actually I could look it up, but I don't stop you need to take it
What is happening with you? You don't know what your benefits are. You don't know how much vacation you have
I mean, I've got to find out about my benefits because it just popped up on the radio. Okay, I'll find out about that as far as my days off
Yeah, I think I tallied it up. It might be it might be four weeks. Okay, you know six
Pardon, you're not a time. You only have you yeah, do you use it or it carries over a
Lot of companies don't do that anymore. Well, I mean look it's difficult. Well, first of all when you have four weeks
It's not gonna carry over, you know, and really, you know, cuz I I have a tendency to take off like
like a like a Friday a lot and
And so what they adds it adds up right, you know like during the other Christmas time
I can't take off like in advance because everyone in our office wants off and usually I'm low man on the totem pole
So I don't get to take it off. However
I could take the day off and just
Go to retro activate it, you know, like, you know if something happens
I need to make sure I'm available so to speak but I can also take it off like if I want to take off tomorrow
For example, I just don't take it off, but I just take it off and then the next day I like oh, yeah
I just take that day off
Makes total sense to me
So, I mean, I know what you're saying. I just actually take it off
I mean if I were to ask for it could be denied, you know what I mean?
Oh, yes. Yes. Yes now we need you available
So I was available if they if somebody needed to call me. Yeah, I got you
I was there but if I decide to take it off then it's it's not a big deal
Yeah, I don't have to ask I haven't had to ask off a day off in years. I just do it
Yeah, I mean I was really surprised
I'm on this 10-week project and my vacation fell on the second to last week where we're doing the final readout and stuff
And I've told them I told them the very beginning. I'm like I have an annual trip. I got to go on
They're like, okay. Yeah, and then now they're kind of like, okay, and they're going yeah, we got
I mean not not once did they say
Sorry, you're gonna have to I mean they say anything like that, but they were like, yeah
We really need to make sure that you know
The other guy that's working with you has everything he needs cuz you're not gonna be here
You know, but you still have a you have another week to pull your shit together when you get back
Why don't you want you zoom in while you're up there?
Yeah, no, I was that's what I was thinking too. You have two generators here. Well, no here's you're like less Nessman on the WKRP in Cincinnati
Hey guys, I'm filming up on top
That's a good thing the only place I get coverage is at the top of the mountain
So yeah, it'll be five degrees and I'll be you know on my phone going. Yes guys. Yes, that's exactly right
Trailer then an elk goes by like hold on
Yeah, I
Airplane smacker
What was
What was the background of that? I was just I don't know. I just came across it. I was like, wow, that's intense
Yeah, so basically if you've seen predator, he's got that
Yeah, he's got that handheld
Chain gun but Gatling gun things that those are designed to take out like missiles or anything coming at you
Yeah, that thing was impressive. I mean I want to say
Did you see the shells coming out of it a hundred bullets a second?
Well, the gallon gun does six thousand rounds a minute. Yeah Wow do that math
It's insane
That's six imagine being a hundred a second imagine being a terrified human on the other side of that just hunker down
Troy you it would completely mean to you a prize to be vapor. Yeah, if you shut that out
But that's you remember that that c130 they had a they designed a c130
Oh gunship on the side of it
Yeah, and it literally they described that it will put a bullet in every square inch
Yep, a bullet in every square inch of a very large area
Yeah, so what it does is that c130 will will do a circle, right?
It'll do a circle in a lean way over and all of a sudden it'll just
Instantly, yeah
Destruction and is it computer controlled? I think it probably would be yeah, probably
It's not like there's a bunch of guys. Yeah going a little more tilt
Right no, I think it's all computer controlled. I mean and they said like
a
30 shooting from the side. I mean there's there's a million c130 the Hercules that thing's only one when it shoots from the side
It's amazing that thing was like an awesome in like Afghanistan like where there's wide open space
There's somewhat of a picture there. I like the AC 130 gunship
That's it. The AC 130 gunship is exactly what we're talking about
Yeah, we're looking at a very what might be a very cool video here. Let's see
Oh, yeah, so they're showing the gunship at action firing all its cannons exercise
Oh, look how big that is. Oh, those are big shells. Are you kidding me? That's not
That's not that's not the galling gun that's so they're shooting
There's the gallon gun that's look at that thing. Oh my god, that's basically what you sent in your video
But there were four of them. Yeah, so when that thing rolls over it just it just like what it's doing the airplane pivots
Then all of a sudden it's what they call that it
There's a word. It doesn't tilt it tilts
Well, hold on they're not shooting anything they're just showing the weapons this is not exciting at all I
Want to see it like going?
There we go
I didn't do it did like only it did a thousand
In like two seconds and Alaron
God that's impressive. Oh, those are big caliber. Those are basically anti
It's a roll pitch or y'all which one was it roll pitch. Oh both of them or y'all I like
Y'all
Yaw yaw yaw yaw to the left
Y'all to the left y'all y'all to the right to the right though y'all
Anyway, so it was very impressive on this thing. Yeah
You know and they have different style ones, too
Oh my god, those things are tank
Those are tank shells. Yeah, you plug in an address for that thing and kaboom. Yeah, you're gonna get more than an uber eats
Yeah, that one essentially that was quite impressive
Yeah, a lot of weapons out there are quite impressive. I mean dudes like us
Yeah, we go out hunting like Paul's going hunting with the and he's gonna come back with plenty of fantastic stories
But you know the mechanics of the military and just the the shit that we know the shit that we don't know the stuff that they
Go out there every single day that are on them. That's on the maps
It's available for us to see but no one gives a fuck anymore. I mean, we're all playing video games
You know who does care the Russians getting their ass kicked in Ukraine?
Because we are giving them Western weapons and it's not just American weapons. I mean French
I mean all these German I mean all these countries are giving them
Their dirty bomb
Where did that verbiage come from? Okay. Well, no what rush is claiming is that?
Ukraine is going to use a is going to use or threatening to use a dirty bomb and so it blame the Russians
No, they need to keep
No, they they need to keep that no language. This is what they're saying
I know this is what they're saying the Russians are claiming that Ukraine they have
Intelligence that Ukraine is going to use a dirty bomb on their own territory, which makes no sense
And so that gives them the right to do something horrible
Like you see what I'm saying, right? They haven't said that they're gonna do anything horrible, but it's
Like the United States smacking into our own 9-eleven building so that we can invade Iraq, right?
Something like that. Yeah, there is that conspiracy. I know it's so ridiculous loose change
It's name is movie loose change loose change. It's the conspiracy
movie put out there
that details that exactly and
It's totally stupid because have you seen it? No, it's but I can I can tell you it's stupid
It's not connecting well, but here's why because they go into Iraq and we're desperately looking for evidence
That they had weapons of mass destruction and they didn't so if they planned that whole thing
Because I wanted to go into Iraq. They probably would have done a little bit more. I'm not it
I'm not a proponent. I don't support that movie loose change
I'm not saying that that happened
But what I am gonna say is that their investigation into the the weapons the weapons
The weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was bullshit and jaded right you and folk out there
It's just kind of like you get all these little blue hat motherfuckers and they bring him in little area
Oh, you're saying they they could have found something and we wouldn't have known about it
You think they're gonna seriously allow them to go somewhere and look. Yeah, they were able to look at anywhere
They want to oh, that's not the problem. No, no, I'm talking about after Saddam was gone after we controlled the country
But they were going around looking for those weapons of mass destruction
I found nothing look dude you could fit weapons of mass destruction in a fucking cubicle
Well, you know they were desperately looking for them because they wanted to justify the invasion and they barely found Saddam Hussein living in a fucking hole
He's a role. I mean crazy how they found him eating sausages whacking off to VHS tapes and no Mars bars that was bin Laden
Oh sausage they found him with a stash of porn sausages. Yeah, the summer sausage and Mars bars, you know
Big sell though. I tell you what if I was hiding for my life. That's exactly what I would have
Oh, yeah, I'm on a summer sausage Mars bars. I have Butterfinger actually not a huge summer sausage fan
Nah when you have it, how can you not be a summer?
In Ritz crackers, I can eat I could eat it but I couldn't imagine just like no on it
Oh, no, no, no, no, not like a no. No, no, no. No, that's a good point
I look here's an excellent point with
Living in living in Germany and being exposed to
grown man fists
Grown men
It's sausage. He's such a fucker. No
So when we lived in Germany, it was it was it was different than than it is now
you know back then there was a lot I mean, there's still a lot of German culture out there, but it's
Tremendous. I mean it's just back then while we lived on base. We were just exposed to a little bit differently
We would have traditional
Breakfasts for lunch with brochin, which is a bread that's really soft to the inside
But it's got a hard, you know cut your mouth on the
Yeah top of it
But brochin is badass and that the cheeses and the meats and the olives and the and the and the stone fruit
It's a charcuterie. Yeah, you and your stone fruit waited for that
You don't even know what a stone fruit is. It's a pitted fruit
Pitted so apricot
Plum stone fruit peach
Can we confirm this? Mr. Producer? Can you look at stone fruit? Have we already done this? Yes, we never mind
I've already fruit. No, it's okay. You don't need to bring it up again. I know let's just rub it in. All right
Yeah, but here's the thing. Oh, there you go. Well cherries
Stone fruit pit. All right. Look, here's the thing, but it's still you know, my brother choked on us on a big dick. Ooh
Wow, speaking of did you see that sweet potato when I said yeah
I was gonna say a plum we had to go to the hospital
He had a pit a plum pit in his throat and we had to take him to the hospital in Argentina
Yes, we saw your sweet potato. That was hilarious. By the way, the guy was like good for you
So audience other that has no idea what the fuck we're laughing at it was Jeff's video of this of the sweet potato
It clearly looked like a gigantic penis. Yeah
It had the veins and everything someone grabs it and
Breaks it in half breaks it in half in this like it's obviously, you know, it's got this the yellow orange filling
Yeah, and then it and then it pivots to these two guys that are like looking very intently at it
You know, it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like
You know, they're like, oh wow good for you
Nice girth
Yeah, that's what the first guy says very girthy. Yeah girthy and then the other guy goes I thought it was yes
We all thought it was and then he goes read the guidelines or something
Yeah, it's really funny. It's really funny. I don't know if you can find it viewers, but uh look for look for
Uh, I'm sure they saw on tiktok. How do you do you search for stuff like that?
Can you go into tiktok and search for uh?
A potato that looks like a girthy sweet potato girthy sweet potato. Did you do that in tiktok?
I don't know. Does it have nobody gives a shit? I you know, I watch tiktok all the time
I don't give a fuck. I take a dump tiktok. I don't give shit
No, joe rogan says he need to get off of that. You saw that well actually what he said was that you know, they're
Bad stuff. They're tracking people. Well the china thing. Yes, of course. They're gonna track on me
I don't give a fuck. I don't know. Are you uh, do you make meth?
There is nothing i've got that anybody wants

mid show
What if we become huge in china like a billion listeners?
Amazing
And they're like we love your bourbon
Oh my god, that's crazy is that yeah, did I just culturally approve of that?
Culturally appropriate. I don't even want to with my accent. I think you know what? I wasn't actually like a chinese person
I was a star wars guy. Yeah, our dudes like us h.r. I was I was one of those two star wars guys that like
It's impossible for him to come to the door
I don't know if he's at the door
Okay, that's the flying guy. Yeah, but it's star wars. I know but the star wars guys remember they took heat for that
A bit even yeah, they sounded like they they I guess he sounded like what japanese or something
That was a federalist the federalist. Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah in asian
I'm sorry a little in the star wars movies the federalists
They're the ones that sound asian and they were they were comparing a jaja binks as uh as afro-american. Oh, yeah

Yeah, I didn't get that at all. I just he was just annoying. Yeah, I was like what the fuck you talking about? He's an
African-american. I've never seen any black person talk or look or act like that. Yeah, I didn't get that at all
I got the I get the federalist and I get the blue guy
He's so annoying. I mean he sounds just like a any sesame street or uh
Muppet show completely ruined the movie for me. He ruined it. It was just part of the bad. He ruined it
He was the flying guy almost saved it. Yeah, and again. Uh, it wasn't fair
Those are the wings
