Crackly. Crackly. Spickle, Spickle. Oh, not anymore. So, hearing aids? No, not my hearing
aids. So, um, uh, Paul? Yeah, Joe? By the house. And outside? Uh, man, it was like,
it was like a movie. It was a scene from a movie. It is so foggy outside. It's crazy.
That's very rare. Well, it's rare the temperature because it is Dudes Like Us on a Wednesday
night, December 7th, 2022. I'm Sean. I am Paul. And I'm Jeff. And we're excited. We
got lots of things brewing. We've got Scott, who was in our last podcast, who was at the
shack of Babacoo. And he was very stoked to be on. He was stoked. Hey, man, I think all
people should be stoked. It's a lot of fun. It's just fun to see a guest be stoked. Right.
You know what I mean? Like we've done a hundred of these, right? And I'm not saying we're
losing the love of the game here, but, um, it just kind of re, it kind of, it's a shot
of, uh, of coolness, right? When, when, when you see somebody get into it. So anyway, also
on this day, December 7th, I just want to call this out early. Yeah. 81 years ago, guys.
81 years ago, Pearl Harbor attack, 2,400 sailors. So anyway, it's always good to acknowledge
that horrible moment in history. It's one of the places I'd like to go to before I die
is the Memorial out there. Yeah, me too. Yeah. Me too. Yeah. It's amazing. I mean, have
you seen it? Have you been there? No, no, no. I mean, it's amazing the day that Pearl
Harbor happened and just the luck. I mean, first of all, hats off to the, the Japanese
who traveled across the world because, you know, I'm not saying I support what they did,
but well, back then it was far. That's not as far as you think. I'm a tank of gas, but
it wasn't a, uh, it wasn't a trivial, the planning that went into it was not trivial.
It was massive. Oh, they were just like, oh yeah, you guys. Well, have you guys watched
a tour tour tour or a even midway, right? Yeah. Well, we saw midway together. No, the
original one. Not the, not the one Paul got all excited about. Paul got all shit. The
one we all got kicked out the theater. Good Lord. I don't know. We've talked about that
a dozen times, man. You know, an interesting memory of whatever, at least for us. Yeah.
I don't know what movie, um, and I had an interesting takeaway, uh, when I was thinking
about reflecting on the Pearl Harbor tonight though, because I was like, you know, Japan,
even back then and now prides itself on being honorable, right? Honorable and like integrity
and you know, you know, like stab themselves if they dishonored, you know, all kinds of
that was the most dishonorable, dishonorable underhanded attack ever. We weren't even at
war with them. It was a sneak, totally shady underhanded attack. And I guess war is war,
right? There's no, right? There's no, there's no good part to it. But still, I'm just saying
that should go down. That should be written in the books that it was a shitty attack.
Let's reverse roles, play devil's advocate here. You know, what if Japan, which they
did, had a bunch of camps where they had American people, you know, we had a bunch of Japanese
camps, Chinese or Japanese people. They did the Chinese and we separated them and we put
them in their own little camp right here in the United States. Are you talking about the
Japanese internment camps? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So Japanese death march of baton, that whole
thing. Oh, the Japanese were incredibly brutal to everybody in the South. Yeah, they were
extremely brutal. I think people are still, I think we've talked, we talked about this
last year, probably, I think on this exact day last year, we had this exact same conversation.
We could probably go back and play it. But yeah, they, they're still animosity. The Chinese
and the Southeast Asian people, they still have animosity toward Japan. It sounds kind
of crazy. I think after 81 years is probably softened up quite a bit. But anyway, so that's
a that's a good call out. I think it's an important moment that all Americans should
pause and appreciate. Right. I did notice that Chick-fil-A had its flag at half mast. I'm
assuming it's because of Pearl Harbor. I don't know. It's half staff. What I say? Half shaft
mast is on a boat. Half mast. You don't say half mast. No, not on land. Interesting. Have
I always called it half mast? I don't know. Half staff, half mast. Yeah, we're gonna have
to Google that. I think one is on land and one's on a boat. Right. Can you Google that?
Is that is that a thing? Am I just stupid? Well, don't answer that, Sean. Well, I don't
think you're stupid. I just think you're ignorant. Half mast. But half mast and see what happens.
Don't put half staff. Put half mast. There you go. Half staff. Half staff flag. Yeah.
Okay, I get it. Put a half mast. There's no such thing. I think there is. It's I am 80.
I've got a pirate ship. No, it's M A S T. M A S T. Half mast. Like today. Half mast.
Right. Pulled up half staff. Stop being stupid. It's forced. Come on. Well, get out of the
images. I want to see what if half mast is a keep going down. What's his half mast or
half staff refers to flag flying? No, no, no, no. Look what it says. Half mast or half
staff refers to a flag flying below the summit of a ship mast, a pole on land or a pole on
a building. Well, well, well, well, this is seen as a symbol of respect, mourning, distress.
Okay, can I can I get a suck it? No, you're partially correct. No, I am 100% correct.
We're both correct. But you guys are wrong in saying that half mast was incorrect. You
didn't get all the criteria down. You guys are totally wrong on this one. That's a huge
victory for me. We're partially incorrect. Wow. Big victory for me. I'm taking it. All
right. Anyway, since you were like, oh my God, it's half staff. Oh, you idiot. What
is half staff? Yeah, it is. It's we're both right. Staff includes two a phallic things.
Anyway, is it a flaccid? It's a flaccid assembly. So what are we drinking gentlemen? This is
your birthday bourbon, right? Yeah. So one of your your boys bought you this bourbon.
It was it was my birthday. Because I had some bourbon too. Yeah. My my eldest son, man,
he he came up big. He wanted to buy. He went to Specs and he said, what's the best bourbon
you have? And and yeah, Williamsburg. And so that tastes like coconut. Yeah. He said,
what's the best coconut bourbon you have? Anyway, he led him around and and he showed
him a couple of different ones. And he was like, you know, my my son, of course, doesn't
know about any of them. He just focusing on price. He's like, keep going, keep going,
keep going up. You know, me, that kind of thing. And he's like, OK, well, old soul.
Anyway, that's what it is. This is a very expensive bottle. It's one hundred and nineteen
point two proof. Yeah, it's pretty. And that's not the right bottle, Mr. Producer. That's
close enough. It's it's a blue bottle, I think. A blue label. Is it the same? Well, this one
says OK, doesn't matter. Old soul. What have we got? So it well, is it truly then eight,
seven years? It's a different label. It's distilled in Indiana. So it's M.G.P. It looks
like it's not. That one says one hundred nineteen point two. This one says one hundred and twenty
two point three. And it's not a blue label. It's definitely different. Anyway, that's
OK. Back to the drawing board of this. But I'll tell you what, shoot from the hip as
we we put it in our mouths. We give a little swash. Man, it's it's you can tell it's it's
hot. Well, yeah, Sean kind of nailed it right there on the nose. Nuttiness, nutty, a lot
of nutty. Yeah. Other tones of hazelnut and leather. Oh, yeah. Because we chew leather.
We do. I chew leather a lot. Oh, man. I just give me a catcher's man. I'm in. You know,
I just don't think that's the right thing to say, because how is that going to make
somebody go, oh, yeah, I want that leather? Well, you know, it's kind of like I mean,
we talk about this a lot with the tobacco taste, you know, a lot of people don't want
to eat tobacco, but you love smelling it, you know, somewhat. I mean, I can't stand
it. And I don't really want to be around cigarettes, but sometimes when you smell it, you're going
to smell nice. This is uncut, nailed, filtered. Is that what our bottle is? I don't think
so. He says it is. Well, I will just go with it. It's a different looking bottle, but that's
OK. We have the extremely old black man on it. Yes. So we're going to have that. Sure,
we can. They didn't take him off the label. He's very weathered. Yeah. Is he does he know
Aunt Jemima? He could be maybe their friends and they both should have been kicked off
their bottles. He's very old. You know, I will never understand. I won't either. In
fact, I don't want to bring it. I don't ask this whole thing, but it's a side cut plus.
It makes me mad. It makes me mad for them. But anyway, them meaning Aunt Jemima's family.
All right. Let's see. So this got high ratings. I look at that super high. I like to read
it. So it is our producer was scrolling up and down really fast. He found it. This is
it. Yeah. So it's the so the the mash bill, seventy five corn, twenty one rye, percent
malted barley. Wow. I wonder if this is going to catch some flack because it's not part
of the LGBTQ thing. It's it's straight bourbon. I wonder if that's going to go. It's not questioning.
Do they have a transgender bourbon? I don't think they do. Well, I mean, is this a heterosexual
bourbon? It's clearly says straight bourbon. Right. But it's also M.G.P. distilled. Right.
So this is from. So it has some acronyms. So it's from Cat Head Distillery, which in
Jackson, Mississippi. Stupid. It is. I think what do you do is shop before a shot. Yeah,
maybe. Jackson, Mississippi based distillery proven well worth it. Let's see here. OK,
scroll down for us. Oh, the guy in the front is Captain Luke Mayer. He's a blues guy. Nice.
Oh, yeah. He definitely looks bluesy. Yeah, he's a blues dude. He's an old soul. There
you go. Well, it scored pretty high. Eighty six, eighty eight, eighty two overall ratings.
I saw nutty in there again. Scroll down. Let's see the nutty part. Yeah. Well, nutty coffee,
nutty toffee notes. But it's it's at the very end, it turns up. But once you get past the
heat, it turns sweet. So it starts off with a mouthful of nuts. And then it goes. It gets
a little sweet on the tail end. And I would say most dudes like us who are listening are
probably not going to go for one hundred and fifty dollar bourbon. Now, right. So this
is probably one that not a lot of people would be like, oh, I'm going to run out and get
it. But if you do, it's good. Yeah, it's good. What would we rate these individual categories
with the nose since it's eighty six pallet, eighty eight finish, eighty eight uniqueness,
eighty two and the value of seventy nine. So they're all to that. He thinks it's a little
expensive for what you get. I'm not going to disagree. Only only because, like we've
said before, there are so many good bourbons out there at different price points. And you
got to ask yourself, why is it expensive? I mean, sure, it's got lots of awards, but
you know what? You can get a fifty, sixty dollar bottle out there that is extreme. Oh,
yeah. You know, and I was talking about that with some friends. And I think it's simply
because, you know, when they when they come together and they're saying, OK, what kind
of bourbon do we want to produce? They say to themselves, we want one that's not so readily
available. Right. They they limit how much they make. Right. And they say we're going
to price point it high because, you know, it's that to us is that good. But and so it's
harder to find maybe. Right. Because they don't make that much of it. I mean, I don't
know. There's a lot to go into it. Right. Supply, demand and their own general feeling
about how good it is. But but I think you the three of us know better. We know better.
We know there are sixty dollar bourbons that definitely we would put up. Yeah. Rare. Eagle
rare. Rare breed. Rare breed. Both of those. Eagle rare. You know, to Buffalo Trace bourbon,
that one's what? Twenty five, thirty five bucks. I would put a number of those number
of bourbons that we know up against these hundred and twenty plus bourbons. I travel
all the time, you know, not necessarily out of state sometimes. But I mean, I travel as
far as locally. I'll go out an hour or two hours around the perimeter of Texas and do
my job. And I zigzag and I hit bourbon stores. They are fracking proud of Eagle rare. Oh,
yeah. Anytime they show up, they go, you got an eagle rare? Yes, we do. It's right in the
front. Eighty nine dollars a bottle. I say the first thing on my mouth. You know, you
can buy that for thirty two dollars, right? No, you can't. Can you find it for thirty
two dollars? You guys have bought Eagle rare. You talk about Eagle rare. I have two bottles
out there. I bought them for twenty four ninety seven. Yeah. When and where at Costco in Lubbock?
OK, well, I mean, but wow. But I mean, they're twenty five bucks. Ding, ding, ding. OK, well,
what's that's got to be an anomaly because how much are they here? Thirty. If you can
find them, it's a thirty dollar bottle. Thirty five dollar bottle. Yeah. That's probably
why Buffalo Traces is investing so much money into their new distilleries that they're starting
to pop up. Yeah. I mean, they put it how much was it? A billion. A billion. A billion dollars.
And building building a new story. Well, they're building the whole new not a whole new one,
but just more. Yeah. Facility. I'm sure there's going to be who knows? There could be a little
hotel on there for all the travelers that come out. I could be part of it. That it could
be a fucking bourbon amusement park for adults. I'm sure there'll be all kinds of facilities
out there. Oh, my gosh. Can you imagine I would sign me up all day long? Wow. I mean,
can you imagine? Be like a log ride into like a bourbon pool? Hey, look, like a flu log
flu. Is that what you mean? It could include like travels like, let's say it's a let's
say it's a day away and instead of flying, you get they send you a bus, a party bus,
and it's a local bus and you can fit like 10 people on it. So now you get to go from
point A to point B and they're very luxury seats. Remember the you were talking about
for Greyhound, wasn't Greyhound supposed to come up with some sort of luxury travel bus?
I mean, hmm. Yeah, I mean, they they they were trying to compete with God, I forget
the name of it. There was something that ran between Dallas and Houston that had all leather
seats and yeah, there is a luxury brand that runs. Yeah. It was in Flixbus. That's actually
who bought Greyhound Flixbus. Interesting. Yeah. Is that the German company? They are
a German company and they're I think they're making some really good changes. From what
I hear from my colleagues, I think it's going to disrupt the the travel of those immigrants
coming from south to north. I think it's going to put a stop to that anyway. It's going to
disrupt the flow of drugs that they are. Good question. I don't know. I don't know. I mean,
because think about it. If you want to get drugs from from Texas to Chicago, that's the
best way to get that. They don't check buses. You put it on the bottom of the bus. I know.
And you're good to go. No one checks that shit. I guess I could share those stories
now. But yeah, I used to make jokes that it's not Greyhound. It's Grey Mule. Grey Mule.
So, so yeah. So the crazy thing is that, you know, if they're yes, people travel and they
have their bags underneath. And if something happens to where they feel nervous about something,
they just they just walk away and they leave the bags. So lots of left bags and in general,
legitimate lost and found bags. They all end up in this big warehouse in Dallas. And I
mean, it's got to be shocking. You'd be shocked how many bags are in there. Right. Anyway,
they they train. They have an agreement with I don't know if it's the T.A.B.C. or the D.A.
Yeah. D.A. Texas Alcohol. Yeah. And it's the T.A.T.A.B.C. T.A.A. Texas Alcohol Beverage
Commission. Yeah, something like that. I think it's the Texas Tobacco. I think the D.A.A.
Yeah. And they and they they partner with A.T.F. or whatever it is. Anyway, so anyway, yeah,
that's what the FBI. Yeah. The point is the point is they train. They train their drug
dogs there in our in our warehouse. There's so much in the warehouse, not our in their
warehouse. And yeah, crazy, crazy. It's funny. We have to be careful because that fentanyl
that comes up, even just like the vapors of it, the dust of it will kill you. So yeah,
you touch a dog. Yeah. Yeah. Dog goes around sniffing. There is a story of a little kid
that either got a hold of one on a sidewalk or on a playground. Picked the shoes of one
and a half year old little girl or two year old girl playing in the grass. Please tell
me she didn't die. Picked it up. No, there is a either a police officer or a paramedic
right there. I don't know if they're with their kid, but he had a Narcan pen. You're
the one that could puncture into the heart. Yep. So he Narcan or what? What are you saying?
Narcan Narcan. So the Mr. Producer has pulled Narcan. Yeah. So that's that's the well. Well,
Mr. Producer pulled up a what is a a god bless a dose that could actually kill a fatal dose
fatal next to a penny. It's dust. It is. It's smaller than the face on the it's not even
a pencil eraser size. It literally would. That's what they say. They they they they
said we just conference get enough fentanyl to kill 100 million people. Yeah. OK. So you
know what? It it up and it pisses me off because fucking jackass Biden travels down to a border
state and says I've got more important shit to do than to go visit the border. Well, and
it was Peter Doocy, of course, that that nailed him on it. Yeah. He was like, why would you
go to a border state and not visit the border? And he's like, oh, I've got more important
things to do such as what a what a great thing to say. I mean, really? Oh, you know, it kills
me. And what is the percentage of people dying from fentanyl right now? It's it's probably
our biggest our biggest like when it comes to people dying. Yeah. It's way bigger. It's
over 100000 people year to date. Yeah, it's huge. It's huge. And I'm petrified for our
kids. Right. Because it's not it's not the druggies that are dying from this. It's the
casual because they look like Xanax. They look like defined laced stuff that they don't
know. So you know, I take Xanax. I'm out. My prescriptions out. So I put I know Bob over
here sells it. Right. You got to be worried about some other stuff, too. I mean, if they're
out, if they are bringing that much fentanyl in, I mean, is the plan to sell it? Is the
plan to do some sort of terrorist attack? I was going to say is the plan to kill everybody?
They put let's just say, for example, they have products that you buy every day and consume.
Right. What if you have these people that are strategically placed? Right. That says,
hey, guess what? On this date, we have to be all in unison on this date. We're going
to swap out these ingredients and we're going to put fentanyl in it. So everyone that opens
up a box of total cereal is going to get a lethal dose. And not just that, but anything.
What if you could put it in deodorant? What if you could put it in regular sugar? What
if you put in flour? I guess I just say what if you put in ice? What if you put in water?
What if you put in sugar and flour? What if you dumped it into the water supply of a big
city? Man, I mean, enough of it in there. It's just you can do it. If you do it all
at once, then you're good. It's going to kill millions of people and it's going to be too
late. And so my wife asked that question. It's like, it's like, you know, why would
you want to kill your customers? Well, the theory is it's China who is waging war and
they're doing it because all this is coming from China. Right. So the cartels, the cartels
are bringing the cross, but all the all the basically eight like you're to your point,
Sean, this is a terrorist attack. It is. And they're not doing jack shit about it. No,
you know, I'll tell you what, this is war and we ought to strategically be taking out
those cartels in Mexico. I get them out like fucking war. Go down there and. In dominate,
it is, it makes me disgusted if it is truly a terrorist attack, then I 100 percent agree
with you that then it's it's I mean, they've killed 100,000 people. It's like just attacking
Afghanistan. I mean, when people are when 9-11 happened, I mean, it's a terrorist. 100,000
pills that they're finding in tires and in bags. You've got these people that they're
catching nonstop. So hold on. I've seen the same pictures you have. Right. So giant bags
of fentanyl pills and some of them colored like, you know, candy, stuff like that. All
right. So but some more bag. But if you in candy. But if you do it on Halloween time.
So if you if you take one, they kill it. Yes. So you're one and done. One pill, one pill.
You know that for certain. That's yes. Because I see the story on there. Well, I agree. But
that doesn't mean that there's that much in a pill. But you got to imagine why. I mean,
if you're trying to get it up here, why would you have I mean, if it's like for cocaine,
for example, if you are sending cocaine up here, how many times are you going to cut
that cocaine before it gets to the end? You're not going to want to cut it at all. You want
to get it up as pure as you can to the person that's going to distribute it and then have
them cut it. Otherwise, by the time you get it. Yeah. And this isn't powder, though. These
are pills. So they're going to cut down. It's just it's just a vessel or a medium. Well,
it's one pill because I've read multiple stories where these parents are grieving for their
children because they're somewhere. Hey, I have this one. They took one pill and they
died. So but you're following why I'm I'm questioning what's China. OK, so then then
then literally there is no you know, we're supplying people who want drugs. It isn't
that it cannot be that then because otherwise one pill kills you. Then you're going to kill
every single one of your customers if you're trying to provide a product to them. Well,
that's my point is that they don't I struggle with that. They're trying to get it up to
a certain person that is going to they're going to process it and put it. These are
pills. Well, I mean, these are like like skittles, like like hard pills. They're going to they're
going to sit there and cut all the pills. That's the way they do it. Yeah. I mean, if
you if you like I said, the dust, if it's in a powder form, right. All of a sudden it
gets into the air. Right. Anthrax. You're killing a bunch of people. It doesn't matter. I mean,
it's it's very confusing is that it's coming up from the from the south. You're right.
And it doesn't seem like the Democrats care at all. It doesn't seem like they care at
all. No, it doesn't seem like anybody cares. Quite honestly. Well, it's not on the news.
Nobody's talking about it. You know, and here and why? Well, I don't know. Maybe we want
the population to go down by 30 percent. Yeah. I think I think it brings to light the porousness
of the border. Right. Well, the uncontrollability that is down there right now. But like you
say, they can't touch the drug trade, can't touch that topic at all because it leads back
to a porous border. Correct. Which is a which is a like a hot potato. Like, don't even talk
about our queue of Democrat voters because if they look far enough into it, they'll trace
it back to China. And who's best buddies with the administration right now? Yeah, right.
But buddy, you have to trace it all the way back. All this is coming from China, right.
To Mexico. Man, let's change. I want to chat and bring back the first topic we were talking
about. Mr. Scott, our guest and in the dudes like us programs, we've got our podcast, but
we've got other avenues of dudes like us that do dudes like those things. And one of the
things I heard your pen and I saw her making rubber in her nose in the couch. That didn't
make sense. I was like, what do you see a shiny penny? Anyways, there's a we have cutting
boards that the guys have prepared, put them through the CNC machine dudes like us. We've
got a burning thing. So if any people out there want a dudes like us memorabilia cutting
board to switch out to a great dudes like us at gmail dot com. I'm pretty sure it's
something like that. You know what about dudes like us on Facebook? You think it's something
like that? Facebook or Instagram? Yeah, dudes like us on Facebook or Instagram. Just reach
out to us and we'll hook you up with one for a low, low price of thirty dollars a board
plus shipping. Yeah. You know, and we need to we need to cut some that that say dudes
like us on the front. You know what I mean? That'd be cool. We've got a package set up
in if you guys want one in your local here in Texas and the the the the McKinney Frisco,
the DFW area somewhere. You can find them at Filtered in downtown McKinney and also
the shack, which I don't know where the fuck that place is. It's a McKinney catty corner
to Myers Park in McKinney. Yeah, I looked it up. It's actually west of seventy five.
I thought it was east of seventy five. It's west. It's it's actually if you're familiar
with the area, if you go down, if you go east on three eighty, right, they have that hospital
up there that Baylor Scott and White Lake Forest, Lake Forest, I think you turn left
up there and you basically go up about five miles. And it's it's totally within my motorcycle
riding range. Yeah, drive up there. It's delicious country roads. I've not. Oh, you have been
to the restaurant. We went to the restaurant a couple of weeks ago when we went to Kennedy
Sausage when you were gallivanting around and gallivanting around somewhere. Every time
I'm out of town, you got to do cool stuff. I noticed. Yeah. Yeah. That's when you were
in Chicago, I think. Oh, I was working. Yeah. And for lunch, we booked it all the way up
and met Scott up there. It was about one o'clock. We had some lunch. Yeah, I definitely want
to go up there. Sean ordered everything on the menu. I did. That's probably why I'm fucking
just super overweight right now. I'm sorry. I mean, have you given up on the fasting?
Yeah, I well, you know, it's intermittent. So, you know, here's the thing. I didn't give
up on it. I just don't do it every single day, which kind of breaks the cycle. You know,
you got to do it every day for it to work. Right. You know, but it's got to be a habitual
pattern, right? Yeah. And well, plus I need to make I need to make cognitive decisions.
I need to make, you know, what I'm eating, you know, and maybe it's you know, I'm not
we're not as young as we used to. Our body is a producing the process of the food the
same. You don't require that much food metabolism. All right. So let me ask you, what gets you?
Is it your portion size? Is it your choice? Yeah, I think it's it's actually portion size.
I mean, and is it or is it snacking or all the above? Well, my set. So I don't I don't
really I do. I kind of graze on like a couple pistachios handful here and handful there throughout
the day. But I would say a handful of those is healthy. Yeah. So I mean, I think snacking
is a big deal. It's I think what's apportioning even salads that I eat, man, I'll take a gigantic.
Oh, dude, I have a bucket of salad like a pound of bacon. And then you take. Oh, no,
I don't. That's what it is. Maybe not bacon. But, you know, yeah, it's it's just also the
salad dressing, right? If you're doing it, you get a bottle of salad dressing. And yeah,
I'll kill you to squeeze a lemon over it. Yeah. Well, I do like lemon in my salads. But,
you know, once in a while I do use a little blue cheese. But, you know, I think I think
the most of it is just portioning. I can eat a lot. And you know, what's funny is I was
editing one and it may be the one that we're talking about. Your it's what I did yesterday.
And it was after your father's birthday. And you had leftover cake. And one of your daughters
left a piece of cake on the on the on the counter. And this is when you were fasted.
And you said you basically inhaled it within like two seconds. I did. Totally something
Homer would do. It was like a cartoon. It literally disappeared. I didn't even chew
it. It just kind of like dissolved in my mouth because it was like sponge cake or something
like that. So it was really. It's not hard. It's not hard to suck that stuff down, man.
Part of the part of the challenge is not even having your house. Right. There you go. That's
the key. Don't put it. Don't don't have it. Yeah. I mean, there's there's always events
where you're going to have a cake or birthdays happen or Christmas happens. But that's part
of it. I've got a lot of people in my house. There's a lot of random shit. And here's another
thing I have to say. You don't even control the food supply in your house. I'm hell bent
on not wasting food. So I've got a very bad habit of saving food and packaging it and
make it sure it doesn't go to waste. Right. And I do. I mean, there's nothing wrong with
that. Well, you have to eat it for later before it goes bad. What's the type of food? I see.
So you're like, I'm not even hungry, but I've got all this stuff that's going to go bad.
Well, you know, it's all this cake I vacuumed. I've got a whole refrigerator of a vacuum.
It's not even I mean, can you imagine vacuum cake dough? It's all brownie packed. It's
like a pound cake. It's like a concrete like a wafer. Well, but you know, I struggle with
the weight, you know, and I'm just honestly a little depressed about it. And, you know,
I will tell you what the I think I've mentioned this the last podcast is my sleep apnea machine
is is starting to come full circle. I was going to ask you that. So you said you've
had it for weeks now. It's been about two weeks. Yeah. And I got to tell you, and I'm
going to be honest, I'm always honest, but I don't always tell you everything. I've had
major issues falling asleep while driving. I don't even tell people how bad it was, but
it was bad. I mean, even the past tense. I passed it correct. The past tense because
that every day the sleep ever since I started the program, that hasn't happened. I mean,
you're getting better sleep. I'm getting better sleep. The quality of sleep I'm getting. I
mean, it was so bad. Like, look, it usually happens like at the end of the day, you know,
it's like, you know, I'm done with the day and along driving, driving back, I'll come
back and excuse me. And after walking three miles with a five gallon gas, I was wide fucking
awake that night. But it was like, you know, I start to I got narcolepsy or something.
It's ridiculous. And was it like this real quick nod off? Or would you be out and all
of a sudden, and your car is there? They're really, they're really quick nod offs. But
they're while the car is moving, dude, I mean, I can't tell you how many times I've woken
up steering into the rear of a semis tires. You know, I'm just, oh shit, you know, not
good. And no, it's not. So I could say now I'm not proud of it. You know, I mean, there
are a lot of times I will pull over and I'll take a little nap. And but, you know, so that's
getting better. Right. Oh, completely. Like I mean, shit, Austin knows he Austin, he's
driven with me before and it's in the middle of the damn day. And we we leave the house
and I'm fucking he's watching his dad. I just saw your eyes close. Right. Drive, just driving.
I mean, we haven't been in the car for five minutes. Now, are you sleeping the same amount,
but it's better sleep or longer? I'm going to say it's just better sleep. I'm
I'm I'm having I'll just say it's better sleep because it's a transition. I'm used to sleeping
on the couch downstairs. Right. So I'm trying to break that habit because I mean, I haven't
slept on the couch downstairs. I moved it upstairs. I actually sleep in my bed, which
is kind of cool. And well, I mean, it's cool. It's kind of cool. Well, I mean, the only
reason I was is because I snore so fucking loud. Oh, it's a game changer. Yeah. And I
tell you what, man, I don't snore. I mean, Tara says I snore a little bit, but it's it's
nothing. No comparison. Yeah, it's nothing. It's like great, man. What she's a lot of
than I do. What she think about your whole Darth Vader. Oh, my God. It's hilarious. She
make fun of you. It's hilarious. She like crazy hot. It sounds like Darth Vader, too,
because I've got the full nose and mouth thing. So it's like, honey, what time is it? In my
turn, my voice is a little masked because it's it's in the mask. Right. But, you know,
so it's a little bit of you. So like Charlie Brown teachers. So it doesn't quite have the
Vader, the Vader. Well, usually, you know, Tara goes to bed. So, you know, Tara goes
to bed. She requires more sleep than I do. So she goes to bed fairly. I think that's
a woman thing. Julie goes to bed. My wife the same way early. So she'll go to bed and
you know, I first of all, I work from seven to midnight ish. You know, I think I'm going
to I think I'm going to start changing that structure a little bit. So you should you
should start working so you get a normal day. So you get back into a normal routine. So
it's here. Here's here's what I'm going to start doing, because before, you know, I would
I might the goal is to get up at seven, but I never got up at seven. You know, sometimes
it'd be seven, seven times. It would be sometimes. But the average time I'd wake up is about
eight. And when he said wake up, I mean, get up. Right. And but still, I don't do shit.
You know, get up, play, you know, get coffee, watch the news, play a couple of video games,
but I'm going to start getting up and Tara gets up, you know, because it's easy. I hear
her getting up, which is what, like six thirty or six thirty seven. OK, you know. And so
it won't be hard if you're getting quality sleep. That's the key. That's true, too, because
you know, I got up today when she got up. So once you get to the routine, it may take
a week or two. Yes, it'll it'll get natural. Well, that's what I'm hoping. I'm hoping dudes
like us that have the same issues that I have can hear me and maybe take note that maybe
this could be for you. And I will share this to L.O.F.T.A. Loft. I think that's the name
of it. OK. Hello, FTA. So, you know, when when you go to the doctor and you say, hey,
look, I have like sleep apnea or I think I do, I have a problem sleeping and he's going
to recommend that you get a a sleep, a sleep. Yeah. And I'm going to tell those folks out
there, don't go to a godblessing clinic. I mean, you can. I don't want to steer you if
your insurance is going to pay for it. You're not out of pocket or anything like that. Otherwise,
fuck that. Yeah. You know, I went through I was talking to the guy at the total one.
He said, no, man, just you know, he went through this company. They mailed out a little thing
for a couple hundred bucks. You you strapped it to your finger and it was a microphone
one night. It was Bluetooth to my phone and recorded everything. Sent it to the doctor
and then the doctor evaluates it. And then you buy your system. I think mine was I don't
know. This is the most massive. I. Yeah. Well, because it due to the B. Yeah. Basically an
iron lung. When they listen to the recording, they're like, is this an elephant? What is
going on here? Is this some sort of national? He's like in a full chamber. I'm iron lung.
It's very interesting when he stops breathing. I hear farts too. Yeah, it's whatever. So
I do have an elaborate one and I don't know. I don't know. It may be the same as everybody
else's. But it does have a couple adaptive features on there like the pressure is not
constant. It's variable. You know, but it's self adjust. It's self adjust. I don't know
what's amazing about these things. I'll start because I want to and I'll start sleeping
in. Well, I mean, yours just in your nose. Yeah, mine's a nose cup. Right. I started
out. I started nose cup. I started out with the one that goes up your nostrils. I was
like, no, I'm not doing that. I want the one that covers my nose. Right. But not the full
face mask. So what happens when you're stuffed up? Good question. I think that's only happened
like once and I just I just put that nose cup over your of your mouth. No, I know. I
just kind of thought through it. I mean, I have wondered that. And I tell you what, I
you know what? I don't get stuffy very often. So it hasn't really been an issue for me.
I do. It happens to me a few times. Because I take daily. I take like the Zyrtec and I
do the nasal nasal spray. I do it religiously every day because of my dog. That can't be
healthy. No, well, I mean, that spray helps. I tell you. I mean, it helps probably with
allergies, but the application of something foreign like that. I know what you mean. Every
single day I take it like it's heart medicine. I take it seasonally. I take it every day
and it works. I never have. Like I'll start taking it in February through April and I'll
be done with it. Yeah, I just try not to take it. No, I don't want to take anything. I agree
with you. I agree. Yeah, I talk about quality of life sometimes. I know for a fact I'm allergic.
I have an allergic reaction to my dog. Yeah, and so my mind is springtime and I'm miserable.
If I once I start doing that, I can get back to normal. Yeah, mine's fall. Yeah, this one
wasn't that bad. But typically mine's fall because I remember it's always like during
the the fall festivals that have happened at the church. You know, I used to get before
I got my wisdom teeth taken out, it used to get really inflamed back there. And I remember
it's just very, very uncomfortable and to the point where I remember I was almost deaf.
I was I mean, I could so much pressure. Oh, man. So stuff that I literally so much pressure
I couldn't hear out of my ears. I mean, I remember working at the Irving shop and I
had the music blasting and I even know and the guy that works down the well, someone
walks into the bay door and they're and they're yelling at me like what the hell and I'm looking
at their lips and I was like, I know he's projecting because the veins are popping out
in his neck, but I can barely hear what the fuck he's saying. And it did. I didn't realize
it. But, you know, yeah. So allergies are bad. Now I don't you know, the oxygen intake,
I'd be kind of curious to find out. Does your phone or don't we have these like your watches?
Don't they measure the O2? The new new eye watches do do Apple watches. I think there's
a lot of a lot of watches that do that. Mine does not. But the new ones, they will measure
your oxygen. I've got the little thing and it's and it's I think it's kind of I don't
want to say it's shady, but it's how accurate is that stuff? I mean, really? I mean, I have
the one that doctors have is shining the little green dots into your skin, right? Well, it
takes my takes my heart rate with that. That I understand. Well, how the how the O2 thing
works. I don't know. But I don't know. I have one of the doctor where they slip it over
your finger. Yeah. So I have one of those downstairs. Right. And how accurate it's the
same one that the doctors. Yeah, no, I mean, I don't know how it works. I don't know how
it works here based on what the the doctors were saying, just not the doctors that we're
talking to be, but just in general, it's the lower your oxygen in your blood, the more
susceptible you are for sickness, you know, cancers and stuff. But we got it when the
whole covid thing launched. Right. Right. At the very beginning, when they said you know,
that monitor your blood, blood oxygen. Oh, yeah. And if it gets below a certain thing,
that's when you have to worry. So that's when we got it. Right. So we were measuring it
and they said if you get down to the low 90s, you need to care flight yourself. Holy shit.
So I was in the 60s. Yeah, you're in bad shape. Remember what the doctor said when we were
on the phone driving? Oh, I don't remember. I don't remember that. She said my oxygen
was like in the 60s. That's bad. Yeah, that was bad. That's terrible. Yeah. So. Oh, that's
right. Because I remember I was like, holy cow, that's really bad. I mean, is that when
you were sick? No, that's just like that was your he wasn't enough oxygen. No. So what
was the point of talking to the doctor about? Well, so when you do the the loft a test,
OK, part of the so this is part of it. The information, the data gets sent to a doctor,
they analyze it. Then they set up an appointment for you to have a phone conference with them.
And she went over all the data and she was just like, yeah, you're you're in horrible
condition. But is that is the CPAP machine going to improve your oxygen levels or are
they are they going to tell you you get in better shape? I find. Well, first of all,
they claim it's supposed to do a better job forcing air into your lungs. Of course. So,
I mean, that right there in itself would help things. Yeah. Because you're you're pressurizing
at a higher pressure than atmospheric pressure. Right. That's well, also the oxygen that can
also tell you if you have lung problems. Right. So if your lungs are not if you're not. Yeah,
you can force all the amount of oxygen you want to into your lungs. But if it's not making
its way into the blood vessels, you got a problem. So I'll get it downstairs and we'll
do it half time. We'll all take our oxygen. I have to. Good. And then whoever wins an
extra shot. There we go. I was going to say there has to be motivation. Sean's like, yeah,
yeah, we're all doing that. We're all like getting dizzy and shit because we're over
there. My oxygen tank downstairs. 100 percent. You really want that shot. Well, I've always
got these fears for some reason that I'm going to asphyxiate. You know, I think your sleep
has been part of that. Well, they don't call it that. They call it sleep apnea. Right.
Well, yeah, that. But just I mean, well, is that the same thing? I don't know what what
happens is when you hear about people who die in their sleep and they say it's sleep
apnea, they die from sleep apnea. What exactly? The heart just stops. I mean, you stop breathing.
You stop breathing and you die and you die. Stop breathing and your heart stops. Yeah,
it sounds bad. Well, that's what Sean was having. I think they told him how many times
he stopped breathing at night. It was it was a lot. That's 80 over 80 times. Yeah. An hour.
So I'm very glad that you got this C-PAP machine, man. Yeah. So the main anything that could
narrow your airway such as obesity. Check. Here we go. Large tonsils. Not sure. Or changes
in your hormone levels. Interesting. Can increase your risk of obstructive sleep apnea. Central
sleep apnea happens when your brain does not send the signals needed to breathe. So my
signals, I think she said, were being sent. But I don't know. Maybe it has to do with
being overweight. Could also be your testosterone level. You ever had that checked? Yeah. Yeah.
My testosterone is normal. What's within the acceptable range? Right. Because that that
I didn't realize hormones could do it. And they're HRT. Oh, there's so many things. I
would imagine there's so many things. Right. I mean, if you get an overnight erection,
I think you're also your brain can tell you to stop breathing. Well, what? Because all
the blood, you know, you lose all the oxygen. Well, at least mine do. Whatever. What? What?
What is it like? A high volume of blood is being transferred from one extremity to the
other. Yeah. You just bulbous and lightheaded. All the oxygen is sucked out of my body into
what? What? What? What? Oh, my God. Your nightly erections. OK. Yeah. Actually, what? That
segment. All right. Sorry. Well, anyways, I'm excited about the the cutting boards that
we had created and we got prepared and we're ready to put them into the shack and hopefully
this is a better venue if they sell. It's got to be better. Well, they're themed as
well. Right. So to to fit more of a meat butcher barbecue type place. So it'll be it'll be
interesting to see how well they do. Right. Yeah. No, I'm I'm excited. I think you're
right. I think you're right. I think it well. OK, so both of them have the same problem.
We're putting product into a place where people aren't there to shop. Well, they have a shop
though. Oh, the shack does. Yes. OK, that's how that helps. Yeah, they have a store in
there and they have their butcher kind of in the back like freezer area. Yeah. And they
have shelving for stuff and a lot of it's empty. OK, no. So they're selling stuff on
the shelves. Right. So they're selling they're selling pickles and hot sauce and like you
said, it's I'll tell you, they've got an open room. It's great. But it's not really that
big. I mean, the place I mean, it looks good. All right. So but it's not it's not a perfect
venue for I mean, it's just not structured very oddly. I mean, it's a it's an open room
for nice to get in. They've got in they've got like some refrigerators that have the
meats that they package and like I said, I think it's big enough for something like this
anyway. Well, country store here. Keep your eye on the goal. The goal is to pay for our
bourbon addiction. Well, there you go. That's it. We just want to fund the bourbons we buy
that we that we sample for our listeners. It's like we do all of this for our listeners.
It's like a little country store. And by the way, we all signed up for a chef's dinner
there in February. We signed you up to by the way. I'm both I'm I'm humble. It's a
six course for five course. It's a lot. It's a lot of small food and they're supposed to
have some sort of fantastic chef. I've got a French French trained chef. Oh, did you
say French? So Francois. So it'll be French bread dressing. Oh, I'm going to try. He does
not look French. Good. No, he doesn't. No, he talks like that, though. Yeah. After watching
after watching that World War One movie where where what was it? What's it called? Quiet
on the Western Quiet on the Western Front. France just gets their ass kicked over and
over and over again in World War One and World War Two. It's like it seems like a like a
recurring theme. It's worse. I mean, you've got I mean, look, France was in bed with Iraq.
I mean, France is there and then there are allies. And then check this. France provided
the Exocet missile to the Argentinians in the Falkland War and sank their which Falkland
Wars, which Falkland Wars. We covered the Falkland Wars quite extensively, by the way,
the French. We couldn't understand it. We could not comprehend how they could fight
over that stupid island. But anyway, yes, they provided the Exocet missile. I mean,
but France has been here. They were they were they were very critical in the development
of the United States. They were our ally. They helped us out. They provided us, you
know, they provide us the Louisiana purchase, right? That was part of it. I'm talking about
the Iron Lady, the the Statue of Liberty, the Statue of Liberty, the Iron Lady. You
didn't take your brain. She is she ironed me. What is she? What she made out of aluminum?
Not aluminum. That's aluminum. Copper, right? I think it's it's copper. No, she's what
is her? Yes, it's iron. It's got to be iron. Iron russ. OK, well, then they painted green
so that it doesn't rust. Paint it green. OK, look it up, Mr. Producer. What is the Statue
of Liberty made out of? And don't say it's aluminum because they hadn't invented aluminum
that early. All right, let's see here. It's made of copper. We said you son of a bitch.
Yeah, a cop. Can you imagine how much that thing's worth? Bunch of people going over
there and cutting the whole thing is made out of copper. No, no. The outside, the shell
of it is. Yeah, it's copper plated on the outside. Yeah. So they got the like they got
a steel copper. It's not structural. You guys copper steel interior. But the outside, what
you see is all the copper stuff. That's why it's green. That's what I said. It's because
it rusts and it turns green. Welcome back, Paul. Do so. Yeah, thank you guys. I'm happy
to be here. So it was actually copper colored when they put it up there. Copper colored.
Yeah. Oh, can you imagine how cool that would have been? Well, they had they had a not that,
but scroll up. You're saying when it was first delivered, it was completely copper colored
that where they show different versions of it. Is that what they're saying? What it looked
like over the years? Yeah, right there. Yeah. So we was a bright. I mean, so like when you
get a brand new penny. Yeah. Yeah. Like it's super gold. It's almost golden. So that's
what it looked like when they first put it up. No way. That must have looked awesome.
Now it's all like pale and green, green, very disease infested, fricking gangrene. That's
cool, though. It's crazy. And what it represents is awesome for, you know, not just for the
United States, people, the citizens that live here, but, you know, for the immigrants. I
mean, it's really why did they do it? It was it was because the immigrants appreciated.
It was to welcome the immigrants coming across. No, I get it. But why did France gift it to
us? It was a specific person reason for that. They were so happy about something that they
said, thank you. Thank you. We're giving you this iron. It was it was it was a gift. I
don't know. I can't remember why I used to know this. Yeah, we suck at history. Yeah.
This is where like, you know, hey, guys, we're going to talk about the Statue of Liberty.
So make sure you know the statue was a gift from the people of France. Yes. Made its way
to America on June 17, 1885. The French people in honor of the alliance between the two countries
during the American Revolution presented the statue to recognize America as a champion
of liberty and encourage the French support to the same ideals. OK, so the French and
the United States fought against Britain. Yeah, correct. Right. They fought against
Britain and that's why they got the Louisiana Purchase. Correct. OK, I like it. That makes
sense. And you had the like a celebratory symbol between the two countries. War of 1812
was that between the French and the British here in the States? Eighteen, twelve. I don't
know. I do. Tchaikovsky wrote a 1812 overture. You know what? There's two different words
of 1812 and there's a lot of confusion about it. It was the it was against the the indigenous
allies against the United Kingdom. Right. So Spain was in that. OK, I knew someone was
in that. You know, there's I used to know all this shit. I know me too. But 1812, there
was another war having to do with Russia. Tchaikovsky was Russia. Yeah, Prussia or something.
I don't know. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah, we're I don't think we're historians, but I loved
history. I used to know. I love it. I used to know all this stuff. I want to. Well, the
French invasion of Russia, also known as the Russian campaign, and you read more books.
The army of Tunisia was the war of 1812 as well. For sure. History is fascinating. And
we just keep repeating the same damn shit over and over again. Yeah. Well, you know
what? We don't learn. Well, that's because they suppress history. You know, they it's
in my opinion that they they they suppress the important shit of why we are the way we
are. You know, and I'm not I don't care what side of the aisle you are. The Democrats kids
are being taught at the same schools as the Republican kids. They're getting the same
education and the education they're getting is less than the one that I got. It's less
than the one you guys got. And it's shameful. Yeah, I don't disagree. I don't disagree.
I mean, but I don't know if it's a conspiracy. I think it's just a laziness. Well, you saw
what California is wanting to do. Speaking of our history, they're wanting to do reparations
to make all the white people feel good. So they're they're they're they're planning on
giving every black person I think who could prove that they're an ancestor. How do you
do that? Two hundred and twenty three thousand dollars each. Each. They are two hundred and
twenty three thousand dollars. They can't afford that. Well, they're going to raise
their taxes. They're going to raise it up to five hundred and seventy billion dollars.
That's not what they're projected at the cost. They're going to lose all of their business.
Well, if they start doing this, how many black people are going to move into California?
Yeah. And how do you how do you reconcile that? Yeah. You have to be here by this date.
I can make a quarter million dollars if I live there for a few years. And they're going
to say if you're here by this date, there's going to be this mass rush like the gold rush.
Maybe or maybe they put it out to California. Well, maybe they put a time limit on it. So
you have to be here. That is the stupidest thing. It's ridiculous. And you know, what
about the Irish? What about the reparations for the Irish? What about the Chinese Americans?
What about those people that were set up? The Chinese Americans that were set up in
those those camps? Yeah. Yeah. You could go on and on about the Indians. What kind of
shit are they getting? Great point. We need what we need from the Barbary pirates. We
need reparations. I need reparations for my great, great grandfather. Great, great, great,
great grandfather getting fucked up on over on the seas of the coast of England. Talk
about that some more. You're great. How many great great great great great grandma back
in the nineteen hundreds? She was such a wonderful woman. Yeah. Oh, God. Well, now she makes
such a good pie. Oh, the bread she made. Can you imagine? Oh, Santa Claus. Oh, incredible.
Oh, sourdough. Oh, yeah. And she put that on the window and she had night and this is
all miles away. She had 19 kids. I mean, it was amazing. Eighteen. What the hell, dude?
Sorry. I forgot about the other one. Her uterus was incredible. Yeah. Stretched. That's when
they had strong uteruses. Yeah. Yeah. I like to shoot a kid from across the room. No, I
did see some footage where somebody walked into a hospital about ready to give birth
and she reached into her pants and pulled her kid out. She couldn't wait. You see that
video? What do you know? What did you say now? There was a lady who was pregnant about to
give birth. Yes. So she was going to the hospital. She was in the hospital and a real video.
Yes, real video. And she opened her, pulled her pants up, reached in there and then pulled
her baby out. She gave birth standing there. Oh, I'm going to change the subject. Go back.
You don't want to talk about that? Well, I mean, that's interesting. But look, can the
Supreme Court overrule this estate? Yeah. But can they overrule what the state's going
to do? I mean, can they? But what if this would elaborate overrule? What? What if what
if I'm a citizen of California? Oh, you're going back in reparation. Yeah. What if I'm
a citizen of California and I'm like, that's bullshit? Why do I need to pay taxes to go
into that? I want to fight this. Can you take that to the Supreme Court? No, no. It's not
a federal law. You have to take it to the state Supreme Court. Yes. California Supreme
Court. Yes. Well, I mean, aren't there enough people there to contest that? They're all
liberals stupid out there. Well, they voted for these people who were wanting to put this
in. Yeah, but there are. So they speak like that. There is a there. But there are people
out there. There's not enough of them. So hold on. I mean, so when they say that a law
is unconstitutional. A federal law. I mean, but if there's a state law that violates the
federal constitution. Well, didn't the New York state law just get bypassed because of
the gun thing? Saying it was unconstitutional. I got overturned on the federal level. Yeah.
Yeah. They said that you couldn't. That's what I'm saying. I mean, the federal constitution,
the federal constitution supersedes. I mean, states rights is state law because they had
states laws they have to have to abide by the federal constitution. This isn't a law,
though. They had drug enforcement agencies going into California and busting people and
those some of the marijuana folks. Maybe they got that overruled. But you remember that?
Because they the California legalized it, but it was still against federal. It was still
a federal offense. Well, do they? Okay. Well, that's good. So you can't use banks that are
federally insured, right? I guess. I mean, I don't know how that works, but I'm just
trying to compare federal law versus state law. This is tricky, right? Okay. That's a
good point because there is a federal marijuana law. Yeah. And then states are coming up with
their own this legal and kind of like, like the I mean, I don't know. I mean, so how does
that work? I don't think God speaking of laws. Did you hear hard left, hard left abortion
law? Okay. They're talking about abortion and they were talking about AI and this was
artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence. So on the Ben Shapiro show, one of the he
did a poll and he asked he posed the question, should abortion be legal? And AI read all
the results and came up with a, uh, uh, it came up with a synopsis and I forget the exact
verbiage, but essentially it said that having an abortion should not be against the law.
Having an abortion is a very personal decision that must be that that must be respected is
essentially what AI did. It read all this stuff and it came up and said, and that's
kind of the, this, the, the gist of what it said. That's the leftist, the leftist opinion
about the whole thing. Well, uh, hold on. So let me, let me look to that. So what do
you Google and read all the articles on Google? Yeah. I was going to say all it did was lean
what the liberal approaches. What does it read? Right. Not sure. I agree with the eyes.
I think AI AI is all AI is, is instituting, uh, you give it patterns and tell it to go
look for patterns. Yeah. That's all AI is. All right. So let me see here. Man, um, there
is another few America. Okay. So I can't, you know what? I was listening to it and safe
legal and rare. All right. But that's basically what, that's what the, the AI said. It basically
prepared a synopsis of all the input, all the data that was put in from, from a poll
that was taken. And that's what it came up with. And what it said, it was fair. So it
didn't say that it was legal or illegal. It just said that it's every circumstance is
different and should be evaluated different because it's a very personal, uh, private
matter. I'm not going to disagree with that. I mean, it is a personal choice. I mean, it
is. And you know what? And look, uh, I, I think it's wrong to go out there and be banging
the world. Right. And it does it brings it up as a contraceptive and yeah. And euthanizing
your kids simply because you, you, yeah. As a, as a form of contraception, that's wrong.
All right. Some ladies do that. But then you have, I would say most, then you have these,
these kids, you have these guys, you have these people that are absolutely against abortion.
And you, you said there, all right, well, what happens if my 13 year old daughter gets
knocked up by some dude that raped her? You know, I mean, is she allowed to abort the
kid? Well, you know, abortion, she's wrong. Well, you know what? That's why I disagree
is that one little slice right there is that if something is bad and you catch it like,
you know, right away, you, you know, being raped is one thing you can anticipate it.
You can follow it. If something starts to incubate, you could take care of it right
away. What if your daughter doesn't say anything and she's eight months? Well, and you don't
notice because some, some hide it. It's amazing how that could be true. It happens over and
over again. But you know what? Even the woman didn't know. Yeah. Like there's a girl, like
they come into the emergency room. They're like, ah, I don't feel good. And they're like,
you're pregnant and you're about to give birth. Right. Wow. I mean, seriously, that happens.
Well, I mean, that's why, and that's why every single circumstances should be weighed and
valued, you know, in, in, you know, if we're going to use it as a tool for contraception,
then absolutely not. If, if, if there's a medical condition that, uh, that you have
to do it for, for some reason, Paul's dying over there or, or if there's something that
you were, if you were raped or incest is the other incest, you know, if your child's life
is at a risk or your life is at risk. Uh, I think if they detect some sort of, um, down
syndrome or, or, you know, that's probably really shitty for me to say, but you look,
if you can catch it early and, and those options are there and there's, I mean, it's hard.
That's what makes this topic so dicey. I'm glad I'm not a female and I don't have to
deal with any of that shit. Well, I mean, but you're a father of daughters who may.
That's right. Well, and ultimately it's their sons could impregnate women who may feel like
that. You mean like, I want the grand kid. Oh, you tell me what, let's go there. Let's
go there. Let's make this personal. You find out that your daughter, your daughter personal
with me. I, I, your daughter comes to you before we were married. Okay. My wife got
pregnant. All right. I met her and I'm not super proud of this, but I met her and, um,
she was pregnant within six months. Right. All right. So it happened really, really quick.
There were options that we could have exercised. Right. We didn't. Right. Did you talk about
it? I applaud you for that. Did we talk about it? It was on the table. Right. Um, it was
something. Uh, is this the direction we want to go? You know, or you both stepped up. You
said, no, you did the right thing. Yeah. I didn't, I didn't want it. I couldn't have
that on my conscious conscience. Good for you. Yeah. I couldn't end. Right. So you're
answering my question. Let's say your eldest daughter comes to you and says, uh, I, I'm
in a bind. Uh, I'm, I find out I'm, I'm eight to 10 weeks pregnant and, uh, I want to end
it. What are you going to say? Wow. No, yeah. You know, I mean, that's, that's guys, that's
exactly what the, the young people of, of, of our nation, they're facing all the, all
the time because they're not being careful. Right. They, they, they don't, they aren't
that's nothing new though. There's nothing new. I mean, it's nothing new, but I would
say it's even worse. Like the concept. Now you can take the morning after pill. Well,
you could do that, but I, but I think I'm going to be unsafe all night long, blah, blah,
blah. It doesn't matter. I'm going to pop a after morning pill. I think it's more acceptable.
That's not bad. What is the morning after pill? That's an abortion pill. It's an abort.
It makes you just urge, but the very next day, well, there's a timeframe, right? I don't
know if it's the next, is it just the next day or is it like the next week? I don't,
they call it the morning after pill. So I'm assuming. So in other words, you can just
go out and have unprotected sex all you want, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And just in
case you pop an after morning pill. That's the idea. And if you slough your lining, right?
You slough your lining regardless of whether you're pregnant or not. I guess I don't know
how the point is. I mean, why, why are we out there whoring around? I mean, everybody,
men and women, that's what's been going on forever. I know, but forever. But that's really
what it pulls down. I think a lot of it comes down to these days is I think social media
see all these fabulous lives of people. They don't have a kid. I can't do this stuff if
I have a kid tying me down. Right. So well, it's but sex is on sex is up there. So popular,
looking good, looking hot. It's part of this sex. These people that are out there on the
tick tock dancing and look, I see them. I know what they look like. I know exactly who
you are. Sex is on your family list. I understand. I watch you all the time, so I get it.
It's a loop. But I'm just, you know, endless. That's what it's. Look, it's a hundred times
worse now than it was when I was a kid. I think it is. I think the morality of our youth
morality is because of the technology is part of it. It's so easy to access. Well, that's
part of it. But we've eroded our morality. I mean, well, that's what happens when you
take God out of the system. And now there's nothing to be accountable for. No one to be
accountable to. And look, here's another thing. If you're going to take God out of the picture,
you know, I think that we, you know, instead of having God, which I understand some people
don't, but there are a list of commandments and you know, the you know, those commandments,
they should be conveyed in such a way where you don't have to be religious to respect
it. Don't bang your neighbors. Don't kill your neighbors. They're generally good, good
things. Yeah. Just your neighbors. Come up with a list. Well, I'm just saying, you know,
if we can come up with a list of all these rules and. Does this say don't bang your neighbor?
Yeah. Don't covet thy neighbor. Is that on the. That's the. No, it's don't covet. Is
that in history of the world part one? The guys wearing that they got the tablets and
he's like, don't bang the neighbor. Never mind. Yeah. Right. Right. Well, I'm going
to have to watch that again. I used to watch a shit. No Brooks, right? No Brooks. The world
part one. What was what was the other blazing saddles? Was that Mel Brooks as well? Mel
Brooks. My God. You know, I have always wondered how that hasn't been beyond canceled and it's
not because it's not canceled because it's you know, there were a bunch of movie stars
on there that are all wealthy and most of them are dead. They're like, well, I can't
cancel anyone. But also one of the prevalent actors in that movie was black. It was the
black guy. And so, you know, he's like making fun of the whole thing himself. And it's it's
brilliant. It's brilliant. Anyway, great podcast, guys. I think that we're off to a good start
this night and we have a second half to get ready for and I'm excited about that. And
we had a great bourbon and we got we got the fucking computer up and running computers
up and running. No, crappily, no crackly sound that they have no idea what we're talking
about. But we do. Well, those damn updates. No, it's all good. Well, we need to stay on
the top of them and just do it whenever they pop up, I guess. All right. Well, we got more
topics. I have a whole bunch of topics we're going to cover in the second half. Exciting.
We got to we got to one of mine. So I don't think we got to any of mine, but that's pretty
typical. Yeah, that's true. You guys always kind of squeeze me out before we sign off.
I'm going to say one thing. Sunday, July 19th, 844 report of a male riding a bike through
a neighborhood yelling racial slurs at eight forty seven officer stops the man and says
he's just trying to find his dog named Snickers. That's not a joke. That happened. I've got
a couple more of them to share with you on the second half. All right. Craziness here.
Sounds like some sunshine. I'm Paul Jeff.
