Thank you. Our next holiday beer. Yes. Which is a Shiner Holiday Cheer. It's a Spetzel.
Spetzel. It's a Spetzel. Outstanding. Let's do. Spetzel Shiner Holiday Cheer. It is brewed
with peaches and pecans. Oh jeez. How about a Christmas toast? What are we toasting gentlemen?
Here's to dudes like us and good wealth and well-being all across the planet. Great Christmas and a
Happy New Year. Yeah there we go. And to all of our listeners, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I smell peaches on that. Here we go. This is a Shiner. And here's to guidance with our
administration, hoping they don't send us into war. Oh that's tasty. That's really good. It almost
is like a crossbreed between a seltzer and a beer. That's too bad it's seasonal. I would buy this
year round. It says it's peaches and pecans. Pecans. Who would say? That's fantastic. Pecans and peaches.
Well I was gonna say it's a bock but that's what Shiner is. It's a bock. It's a Spetzel. So hold on. What's going on here?
Why have you suddenly thought it's important to pour your beer into a glass? Okay so if you drink
your beer, like our normal beer is like some light lager. Yeah drinking out of the can or the bottles
fine. But if you have a Spetzel like this or a bock. Flavorful beer. Anything with fantastic aromas
that you want to accentuate. You need to pour that in a glass. Interesting. Yeah I agree with that. And here's the thing.
Also. I don't disagree. I'm doing it as well. I'm just curious. In addition to pouring it into there
to exploit some of the aromas. In my opinion what I usually do is what I like to do is take a straw,
stir straw and kind of spank it a little bit and get the froth up a little bit more. To me the froth
is kind of like the mustard on a hot dog. Hot dog. Like sauerkraut. It's nice. Yes. Well plus when you're
drinking it, it kind of gets rid of a lot of the gassiness in there. The belch. Yeah well I mean
because really when you stir it up like that and you get the froth going and you break down the
CO2 a little bit it's easier to drink and you can actually taste it. In my opinion you can taste a
little bit better than a real bubbly beer. You know. Yeah I don't like the flat beer though. Yeah.
I've had flat beer before. I don't do these seasonal Christmasy beers. I'm enjoying this. Yeah maybe
we add it to our docket. Maybe do they have what's the next season of beer that's gonna come out?
Valentine's Day beer. Oh I think it's New Year's Eve beer. Valentine's beer. Well that's good.
Do they have a New Year's? That'll be this beer. Do they have Easter beers? Easter beer. Springtime beer.
Maybe a springtime beer. They have a green beer. That's the flavor. They've got the St. Patrick's Day Irish beer.
That's just food coloring. But it's old but they've got the red. So when you puke it's like a green just
froth everywhere. That's awesome. Yeah kind of a celery. Yeah there's lots of green puke when I went
to school just on the streets. Oh that's awesome. I really like that. I like how they turn the Boston
Bay into some green. I mean how do they do that in Chicago too? Yeah the river there.
How's that not killed? They have fish in there? Tremendous amount of cancer causing agencies.
I'm sure PETA would just be all over their ass. Yeah. PETA was in the news recently. What happened?
Oh that fish tank. Did you guys hear about that? Yes I did. Why? What about the fish tank? It's a quarter of a million gallons in Germany.
Oh my god. 1800 fish or something like that. And so PETA was like upset about the 1500 tropical fish
that could not be rescued. Come on. It was an accident. I know but they were really upset. Well
if they weren't in this tank they would be alive. Well I think they felt like there was not enough
mouth-to-mouth being given to the fish that were. I'm sure. That could have been safe. I'm sure when
that came down anybody that was there was like holy s and they scrambled. Oh it was I guarantee
it was like a quarter of a million gallons. You can't fathom. Your pool, your backyard is 10,000.
Right dude for anybody that was there and they're so lucky it happened at 6 a.m. when people were
still sleeping and stuff and only slightly injured two people. But it was like a natural disaster
type of thing. I mean if you're there you're thinking like the building's coming down. You're
thinking. It probably shook the building. Intense man. How much does that weigh? It just oh I mean
did it just all crack at once or did like half of it open up or did it just just shatter? I don't
know but think about the amount of glass. I mean I mean not just the water. Well it wasn't glass it
was a certain kind of polymer because the the company that made it is flying over there. I know
and they're from the U.S. Yes it was a U.S. company. What a nightmare for them. Yeah it was a special
polymer that they created for this thing. That is apparently very weak. It didn't last. It was structurally unsound is what it was. Not good man. Well just think of the pressure. You know when you go down 10 feet in a pool it hurts your ears if you're not used to it. It does.
Can you imagine that that thing was what 50 feet tall? It was uh I think it was even taller than that. Think of the weight down at the bottom. I think it was 70 to 80 feet tall. The pressure down there at the bottom just pushing out. Oh yeah. Always. Oh yeah. You know. Somebody probably just bumped it. I wonder if they have scuba divers in there sometimes to clean it. Yeah of course. I'm sure if you're in there when that happened. Oh wow. You just go shooting out. Shooting out the front door. Yeah.
I bet you there was a guy that was doing like you know the guy that walked around early in the morning and they got the little scuba and they're walking around. So you want to know how much that weighs? How much water was in there? Hello I was talking. What's wrong bro? 2 million pounds. Good lord. So how tall was it? A gallon of water is 8.34. Yes about 8 pounds. 8 pounds and there's 250,000 gallons is 2 million pounds. That's insane. 2 million pounds of water. Of water. Just dispersed. Not water.
That's not pressure. That's just the weight of the water. Correct. So if you were to measure the actual pressure that you were talking about. Well the pressure down at the bottom. All that weight pushing down. That was very pressure. Yeah. Causing that. The deeper you go the worse pressure it is. Just crunching you. Well I mean I didn't say 2 million pounds per square inch. I mean it's 2 million. 2 million is 2 million. So it doesn't matter. I mean at the top it's not that much but you're right.
It's compounded though. Because it's on top of you. Interesting. I didn't thought about that but you know the weight of all that is 2 million. Sorry I didn't mean to interrupt you. So 1500 sea creatures is what they said in the article. Which kind of made me start to laugh. I was like what if they have shrimp in there too? They could have. Shrimp and sea turtles. Sea monkeys. Sea monkeys. What a nightmare though. I mean I just can't imagine. Imagine walking on the street outside. Dude I would have been. 6 a.m. right? 6 a.m. you're walking to work. I've been scooping up
these fish. You get a spear. You want spear fishing. Picking these fish up and selling them on the black market. You can imagine all kinds of stuff. You pick up the wrong fish and it's all poisonous. Oh yeah. They do yeah. They have the puffer. The puffer. The lion fish. All the most. The world's most dangerous fish. The shark. They had a great white deer. Yeah that was another story that happened this week. What's that? A husband was scuba diving.
With his wife. They're in their 60s and they're in I think it was off of Hawaii. Oh. Yep off of Hawaii and they're snorkeling and he couldn't find her. He was being circled by a shark. And it left him and he couldn't find his wife. And it ate her. It ate her. Like the entire body? They said there was thrashing of a shark in a big hole.
A big red circle of blood. Yeah. That's terrible. And the interesting part of the story is they were chastising the authorities and the police were chastising people on social media for misrepresenting what was going on. They made it sound like he had something to do with it or he was killing his wife or something weird.
And they were they were yeah. Yeah. Woman who disappeared snorkeling with husband was probably eaten by sharks. So they just didn't find her. They didn't find her. They didn't find her. I'm thinking sure. So that you went. So her whole body got eaten. Sure they did. I mean you think he just like drowned her.
Well that that's what I think. That's what they alluded. The people who were commenting on social media were jumping in and saying a bunch of a bunch of weird shit. And I and the authorities were like seriously that's the danger of social media. This is not social media.
This sucks. Well they really do. Well the sharks out there are tiger sharks sharks sharks and they do they do attack. You saw the little surfer girl who got her arm bitten off. Oh she's a famous surfer. Yeah. Yeah she she got her arm bitten off. Tiger shark. Tiger sharks are bad out there. That's what that's what they begin
to eat a person. Oh yeah. They get big. Oh yeah. I saw a killer whale. There's a video that circulated on Instagram attacking a human. It was as big as a killer well and it was up on the on the really the shallow water and it knocked over a guy and it
developed him just and ate him. An orca ate ate a man. I need to fact check that as I'm saying it but I sure it was Jonah the whale. Well yeah I haven't heard of that. I know I know Jonah and the whale. I know the whale's not named Jonah. No there was a whale that ate Jonah. Yeah I know the killer whales will eat great whites.
Really. Yes there is footage of that. I saw footage of a pod circling a great white huge great white and they they ate it. So that's probably the only predator of a great white. Correct. And is there any predator of a killer whale. They got to be. I think they're I think they're the apex. Yeah they've got to be.
Because they're smart. They're smart. Yeah. So humans and they're actually from the dolphin family. They're not. That's right. Whales. Yeah. Per se. So interesting. You know along these lines there. Do you remember when. Let's see. There was a company a restaurant chain that said they were no longer going to serve a certain type of lobster off the East Coast.
Well Whole Foods said Whole Foods said they will not buy lobster from Maine any longer because their fishing methods or their the way the right whale. Right. They're going to kill right whales which is total bullshit. There was no ever history of a right whale dying because of lobster.
Yes. And that is and based on misinformation they are crushing an industry like totally crushing an industry. Right. And that's what that's their livelihood. And I read another article where the Biden administration is trying to pass a law that says any boat on the eastern seaboard cannot go any faster than 30 30 knots.
Oh because it injures another type of whale. The right whale. Oh the same whale. And all these fishermen and boaters are like that's dangerous. That's dangerous because some boats either go faster than that nor the plane. Right. To cut through the waves.
Because if you go 30 knots you're you're you're getting knocked around by the waves. And it has to do with the size of the boat. Apparently they already have that rule in place for 65 and over. I think they're changing it down to 35 feet and over. That's right.
And and it's based on ignorance based on. Yeah they don't know how boats work. And they said and they said that there's like three confirmed strikes or something. Yeah. 30 years or something like that. It's not even a problem. Right. They're just catering to hysterical activists. Correct. Right.
That's so we were we were discussing like the top apex predators of the world. So what do you think. Pardon humans. Where the top. Who do you think. What do you think that the top five are. I think in nature. Well it's at the top. Not including on top of the food chain. Five deadly marine predators.
Oh marine. OK. Got to be Orca. Well the killer whales right. Killer whales. We are just stop stop. I like the big blue whale because they just eat thousands of krill. Right. Oh I guess we count that. Does anything eat the blue whale. No. Was that a predator.
Well I mean then you're talking about all sorts of whales right. The sperm whale. The the the the minke whale sperm right whale is. I don't know if the blue whale they're counting. No they're not. So how about the counting whale seal because they eat krill.
Actually you got it. Leopard seals wonderful leopard seals are quite cute until they're they open their mouths their jaws are wide and powerful and are lined with razor sharp teeth. Those are nasty nasty. Do they attack humans. They're big. They tarp everything but their leopard seals are one of the in our most ferocious hunters. Yeah they're big.
Has there ever been a human like penguins in one single. Well you go swimming in the Antarctic and you and you dress like a seal. Yeah. Plus those leopards the leopards. I mean they top out at 10 feet and they weigh a ton. Yes. That's amazing.
But they're only in the Antarctic or they're in the Arctic. I don't know if they're on both poles but they're in the Arctic regions. Leopard seal. Yeah but they're they're right. Number three. So killer whales number one leopard seals are number three octopus. I'm sorry.
Number four giant squid. Yeah. So number two would be the great white. Oh yeah. What about the Humboldt squid. So the the the great white shark they can they can smell a single drop of blood floating in 10 billion drops of water. That's retarded. Why would they say how would they even know how to measure that.
I don't know 10 billion drops of water. Shut the front door. I mean that was I don't want to read the run. Now is that 10 billion going straight down to the bottom. Right. Is that like right on the surface. They could detect movement from as far as away as 820 feet away and with the powerful
streamlined bodies and razor sharp teeth. Great white sharks are as scary as it gets. But they are scary. They can reach up to speeds of forty three miles per hour. That's crazy. That is crazy. What's the next one in line. Archa tooth this the humble squid. I think the good guess. So number three would be a polar bear. That's not marine though. Yeah. Well you know it's listed on the marine predator. That's also retarded. They eat them.
That's also retarded. They eat seals although bears are land mammals. They spend much of their life at sea. I call bullshit. I'm horrible. They're incredibly strong swimmers who have been spotted hundreds of miles from land where the polar bear is apex even more than the humans because they will eat the humans.
They will eat polar bears mainly eat seals but also munch on a beluga's narwhal bowhead whales walrus and sometimes fish. Damn. In summer when the ice melts. Do what. Those are big. The things you polar bears get tremendously large. Wow. They don't marine animals. They're mammals.
That's what it's like to see a man. It clearly says here that the as although polar bears are land mammals they spend much of their life. OK. All right. So the angle of this is what is what kills things in the ocean. Well it's they're not five deadly marine predators. Right. So what kills
things marine life marine life. Yeah. There you go. Polar bears are number three leopard seals as we mentioned are number four and weighing in at number five. I'm going to go with clams. Women are down there. What the hell. No no no not that kind of clam. Oh
that's a bearded clam. Oh well damn look at the picture of the polar bear. Oh shit. Next to the producer pulled up a picture of a truck. That's a full size truck too. And a polar bear is like standing on its hind legs. It's taller than the truck like just staring down. Look at the driver like yo I could take this
fucker. Look how thick it is. Thank you. Oh I was looking at the polar bear but thank you. Oh yeah. Ralph became really. Well here in Victoria we regularly see two species of sea lions. Stellar sea lions and California sea lions. They're the
number five sea lions. They're only natural predators are killer whales and sharks making them one of the ocean's top predators. Pull up pull up a leopard seal. Mr. Producer I want to see a picture of those things. Paul needs to see one because they have spots on them. Oh good Lord. They do look scary. Oh wow. Look at that mouth open up. You wouldn't expect that. You're like oh look at it. So nice. Look how big it is next to the. It looks like it looks like a walrus with the with the eel eel mouth. Yeah like a jar was.
A very angry looking mouth once it opens up you're like holy shit. That is a predator. Well and look at that picture so that is a scuba diver next to that thing. Oh yeah. It is a giant dwarfs. This this the scuba diver. Holy cow you know it is as fast and agile in the water too. Oh yeah. It's just like little seals. Yeah. Shit. There's no way I'd be in that water. Screw that. No way. Yeah I'd be out. Interesting. All right. We're going to go back to the
So to review it was Orca Great White. Solar the whatever. What is that. Leopard seal. Yes. Seal polar bear and then another seal and then another seal. Interesting. The Architew. This wasn't in there. No it was not. I figured like one of the squids because that humble squid that's off the coast of Mexico and Southern California is deadly. I've watched the
And I've watched some films on that and they're you know six feet long and they are they attack. They're like swarms of them. Nice. Yeah. I thought the jumbos. You guys want to do you want to continue this list. I've got the 10 most stunning apex predators around the world.
Land based. Well just in general. All right. Let's go grizzly bear. So polar bears on their number 10 be on the team. Number 10 is the Burmese pine on Python Python Python Python like constrictors are primitive and don't kill as a feminist snakes do but they they they do with biting and release some venom. Instead they use construction. You know what's weird about that though. You would think you hear stories of pythons eating humans right. And you're like they're not fast moving.
So you would think you'd be able to get away from it. But I think it bites you. They bite you grabs on you then wraps you up. I think they are fast and makes you like numb like it shocks you. But they are fast though.
I mean they're not fast traveling they're not like alligators. They can't move from. They can't jump at you like 15 feet away. But if you're within striking distance dude they can totally. But do they bite you and make you like they have a shock sort. Well yeah. Like like make you not be able to move. They're able to consume animals several times their size. So it's they use construction. Yep. And that's it. And ancient prey killing methods. Interesting. I would think you'd be able to.
Get away from them. Well no dude seriously. Have you seen them in the videos. Or they only improper. They there's videos out that they show them where it's like they come at you. But the other 10 feet is behind you. Oh so I mean it wraps around you. They they hunt.
They hunt. That's what they do. What about the Anaconda. Well they're they're a little bit of a list here. So the number nine Komodo dragon is the top eight or snakes is tiger.
Tiger. Big cats are top apex predators due to their large size sharp teeth claws powerful bodies and hunting skills. Nice when they pounce they'll bite animals next to throw animals they prefer to eat way up to 45 pounds. Yeah. Right. They bleed. They grab.
Yeah they basically just make them bleed them out. Yeah. They puncture your juggler and bleed you out and then eat you. Look at that footage with the guy down there standing. What would he do if that tiger. I've never seen a tiger that big before.
Yeah. Do you want his forearm is on his shoulder. Let me eat your let me eat your head. Is he feeding him with a bottle. Looks like it. Is that beer. I was thinking like a beer. It's probably some sort of Christmas shiner beer to be a bottle of vodka. Look at the nuts of that thing. Just kind of some big nuts. Look at his arm. Maybe he's a little person. Yeah really. Look at that arm. That arm is like holy shit man. Damn. That's crazy. I think that's a big one.
What's next. This next one is going to be shocking. Translator bald eagle. The bald eagle national symbol for several countries popular for its appearance representing beauty freedom and only the U.S. as one of the top apex predators the bald eagle is the largest
raptor in North America. Conservation efforts brought it back from extinction big time. It's really. Yeah. Living near bodies of water it hunts fish water birds and small mammals but also it's carrying on steals and often bird brood. Dude it is scary looking man. Look at that. Well they're they're vicious.
They're they can pick up a small child easily. I mean they're used to carrying away small deer and. Well I saw a picture of it carrying a small size deer. Oh yeah. Well I mean well a lot of food. I don't believe a lot of shit on the Internet anymore. Yeah.
I'm not buying the small deer thing. Maybe one of those little tiny little dogs like in that show the proposal. They're ferocious looking man. That wingspan. All right. So what else is on the list. Holy shit. Yeah. We're being amazed by these
natural predators. Predator. My screen. Get to the chopper. I'm here. Kill me. The chopper. I want that. So number seven is the polar bear. We've already gone over that polar bear. Number six is the killer whale which is the orca orca. Number five the praying mantis. Get shot. Those are hardcore killing machines.
Well what to kill. To kill their mate their mates. Yeah. They eat the head. Yeah. They had the top of the apex predator list for the insects. The praying mantis is the most stunning not only for its name for looking like it's praying but also it's brutal.
You easily take down beetles crickets flies bees wasps lizards frogs with its spiny forelegs lightning fast speed and for rashes. I had one of these when I was growing up as a pet. No it was in our yard.
He'd walk around on the leash. Look at this one on the left. Holy shit. There is one in the yard and it was about about that big. Wow. And it latched onto my fingers with its two little claws. And it's there. I couldn't get a lot. Yeah. I was probably 10. What the hell.
Did you torch it. I didn't torch it. So hold on. It was like it didn't puncture the skin. Yeah. Yeah. It's got little little little barbs that little things. So it literally made you bleed. I've had little holes in me. Yeah. Yeah. It didn't sting. But it was it was grabbed onto it right now.
I was 10. I was freaking out. I was like what the hell. They have amazing vision. I threw it down. They can turn their heads a full 180 degrees. Yeah. I like that closely related to termites and cockroaches. Although praying mantis are normally harmless to humans females.
Unless you're a 10 year old boy. And a pansy. Yeah. I have been known to consume their milk.
I was in the front yard. The neighbor lady saw the other thing on my finger and she came came and helped me. She ran over and tackled you and then ripped the thing off of you and ate it. She did. She just made me make a fist. I smashed it.
Number four. That's awesome. The I don't know if this racist not to say. Oh God. Here we go. Another edit black bear. It's a black widow. Why is that racist. No it's a brown. I mean saying it wrong. Brown widow black. I sent you guys a story today. Did you read it. Read most of them about. I don't think these colleges who are banning words like a brown bag. I didn't read it. There was one little part in there. It said like.
We're now banning you know the people that have like the brown bag or the brown sack. What is it called. Brown bag. Brown bag lunches. Yeah. They're there because it's a brown bag. Get the fuck out of here. I mean you go to a grocery store. OK. That's. Yes. Yes. 100 percent. We're no longer calling things brown bag lunches.
I can't. I can't. It's a brown paper sack. That was the spirit of the whole fucking. You know. You know what. Hey stop. Stop. Yeah. I can't. Black widow. All right. The black widow spiders deceptive size one and a half one and a half inches and it's venomous 15 times deadlier than the rattlesnake. Wow. What is this. The black widow like 15 times deadlier than a rattlesnake. And they're and they're not that big. And they're here. I've had them in my garage.
Well they're true. They're size of one and a half inches. They can be big. Yeah they get. They can be big but they don't have to be big. Well it's that bulbous thorax. It's just like throbbing. I know. Throbbing. Throbbing. You and your soft. They are scary looking. Yeah. I've had. I've had that little hourglass shaped thing next to a penny. I've had multiple of these in my garage. And you know what's crazy.
There are other there are other spiders that are black with red bellies that are not the black widow. You know I'm talking about. It has to be a certain design of that stupid hourglass thing. It looked like that. I know right. And then you're like you know the difference here. Let me let me have you bite me. Yeah. I don't trust you. I kill all spiders I see. Coming at number three. It's the crocodile. Specifically the saltwater crocodile. It's a large crocodile and the largest living creature in the world.
It's the largest living reptile around and is listed as the least concern on the IUCN red list. I don't know what that is. It's also likely to win a fight against its cousin the regular alligator. So yeah crocodiles are seawater. Alligators are freshwater.
They are much smaller males grow up to twenty three feet in length weigh up to twenty two hundred pounds. The average adult crocodiles teeth number sixty six and have the greatest bite pressure of all animals while its average lifespan is 70 years.
Yeah. Have you seen the video I saw. What was it. Look at that thing. Oh my. Did you see the video. That thing coming at you. No no. That's like Indiana Jones shit. Garden the treasure. Well did you see the video. This guy in a swamp and someone's filling up and he throws.
He's trying to trigger this thing and it's underwater. It's got like these this you know the green algae over the top so you couldn't see. He threw this piece of meat or a rock in there. All of a sudden you see this huge swell coming towards him and this is about that damn big comes bursting out of the water at this guy and he runs off.
And it's amazing running down his leg. Well it's one of these crocodile guys you know who also they are like they know what they're doing. Yeah. Right. And it was so they get eaten. But right. It was completely calm piece of water and he threw something in there. I don't know if it was a rock or something.
And it was just he was smacking the water or something also just swell huge crocodile. Wow. Comes bursting out of the water with his mouth open. Yeah. Like trying to kill the shit out of him. Yeah. Try to get them. So it was amazing. People die every year as alligator apex predator.
Predator it attacks prey including like crabs birds turtles boar monkeys and buffalo birds birds hunting by stealth. How can you know what Jeff was referring to. Yeah. How can it be fast enough to kill a bird. That's crazy. I think it's like just fast which boom. Yeah. They're like sitting in the water and yeah. Bam.
Yeah. So Jeff already mentioned this. That'd be a horrible way to die. Number two is the Komodo dragon. It's the largest living lizard on earth measuring up to 10 feet in length 200 360 pounds and weight. You know I've seen those before. I lived in that country. It's interesting though. So I mean I'm looking at those. Yeah. Those that's pretty fucking big. But I mean I don't think you have to eat a human. They will eat you. Yeah. That one bite but they will eat you.
And their saliva is poisonous. Yeah it's venomous. So they got venom in per. That's crazy. 80 percent of its body weight and a single feeding. I think they're so basically they will kill you and just munch on you. Right. What's going to happen. So those are the ones that you and then right. And then that knocks you that keeps you from running away. Correct. I think it breaks down your your body. Yeah. They call it carrion. The C.A.A. is a
They are our island and it's essentially does carcass. You know they like to eat dead things. But they'll they'll they could eat if they catch live things. Obviously they do frequent fatalities from their attacks and their native Sunda island of Indonesia inspired a kill on site practice which has made
it vulnerable. In other words. Hold on. This is which made it vulnerable as it has been banned from being hunted. Wow. Look at that picture there. You know that looks actually kind of pretty with the scales like that. Yeah. When it's not attacking you. I mean you can definitely see dinosaur in that right. When you
look at alligators or crocodiles or Komodo dragon or you can definitely see dinosaurs in my opinion. That's amazing. All right. And the number one. What do you think the number one is the grizzly bear. Jeff humans the top apex predator in the world is the wolf.
Which was an easy choice. Hypnotic eyes gorgeous fur haunting howl make it a jaw dropping astonishing for anyone fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of one this pack animal lives at Hunts and pack anywhere. Stupid at were popped up in front of my reading.
Packs anywhere up from two to 15 wolves and you know led by an alpha male and alpha female making it especially powerful in numbers. They are pretty. That is surprising though. You know as far as apex. But if you consider that they you're not considering that they're a predator of one. They're more of their predator pack. It's a pack attack. Yeah.
Yeah because especially powerful numbers. They're very similar to coyotes aren't they. Very similar except that coyotes are much leaner I guess and smaller maybe.
You know it's crazy. I was helping my son move out of his apartment. Not too long ago and we were leaving his apartment driving through the parking lot and there was a coyote running across his parking lot in his apartment. And he was like.
A coyote running across his parking lot in his apartment. Did you shoot it. No I didn't. But I was like stunned.
To taunt it. It's amazing how where you can find coyotes in urban in the urban life urban world. Well where are they going to go. I mean there's there's coyotes out there so they're going to go somewhere. They are being displaced. I mean they've got they've got new
developments popping all over. I mean you and I were driving to the bar the barbecue joint up in McKinney the corner corner corner farms corner store corner store farm. There you go. Corner store farms. And you know it's a great little barbecue shack at the in McKinney. I'd recommend everyone go there.
Buy your beef top notch beef there. And while driving out there we're just like holy crap man. I mean there there are places being developed as we speak just waiting to start slapping houses down there. And there's life more and more cars. There's animals that are out there. You know they got to go somewhere. And they're like where the fuck are they going to go. They're all pushing and they're all being forced out. So you know they lose coyotes to live around here.
I know. Yeah. So in fact Bobcats are the people always like I mean it's always funny on next door app. Oh my God. Did you see that. There's some coyotes out there. No they say wolf wolf wolf. Someone usually chimes in there. I think you're referring to a coyote.
No wolves here. They're sparky. People are crazy. So that is interesting. You know we were talking about the Christmas and you know it is Christmas time. It's December 20th. It's dudes like us. I'm Sean. I am Paul. And I'm Jeff. And we're fucking forty five minutes into the second half. We just I know. And we haven't even talked about the bourbon. I don't talk about the bourbon or our Christmas beer.
No dudes like us. We bring on this podcast so that we can chat with dudes like us around the world about things that dudes like us are interested in hopefully in a bourbon. And I enjoyed the apex predator. That was kind of cool. That was unexpected. And to get back to the bourbon though we are enjoying.
Was the lion on the list.
No negative really.
King of the jungle wasn't there. Well most of them are hand fed now. Well think about it. Lion isn't necessarily a predator. He's not like they are. Sure. Yeah. Well maybe the women maybe the women lion lion. Yeah the ladies. And so they just give it to the lion. What about the cheetah or the jaguar. Why aren't they top predators. What's the what's the criteria.
They have to wait to find print right. They have to eat at least 10 animals per hour. Right. So anyway this bourbon that we're drinking this we revisited one of our older ones. We actually finished it. We added about two ounces and a half into our fairly bottle.
And this is a local like local Texas.
Texas. Yes. Great. Rebecca's Creek 10 year very nice. We really really enjoyed the first time because we got down to maybe over half of a gun. So we only had one time. So we went back for more. It joined the infinity bottle.
It did. It did. I'm very excited about that. If any bottle it's two thirds full right now. I know we're getting there and this is good. I think we got this one earlier on in our bourbon adventure and it's what 90 one proof. Is that what we said.
I think it's 90.
But didn't matter. It's around 90. Yeah. Definitely in the low 90. And I enjoy it. But again we all notice that it's the proof does play a factor in this.
Yeah. It's extra. Well because it's not as hot it's easier to drink which makes it more susceptible. So you're able to taste things a little bit more without the toxicity of the heat. Right. I put this one on par with I think I said it before we started with what we had prior flavor wise.
Some different flavors but as far as the thickness and the flavorables flavorables I mean that word.
Yeah. But it says it's like accents with trail mix which I think is trail mix like nutty. I think nutty is right on because it does taste like almonds. You know where you see that. I smell the flavor. Same as a room was with accents of trail mix trail mix.
Is that like the Rocky Mountain Trail mix or that doesn't that doesn't make it like a mouthful of nuts. No. No Paul. Not your salty wonders. No I'm focused on the aroma where it says coconut coconut.
What was this right on par with old Williamsburg and chocolate frappe frappe. Why that. Why a chocolate frappe a toffee chips and toasted coconut. It's crazy. Again it's a little flat. It's over the top. Very specific. I got the smoothest like it's tingling.
Enjoying cocktails neat and on the rocks. I look Rebecca's Creek tenure. Highly recommended. Yes. Excellent. I mean look seriously any bourbon that is sitting for 10 years is going to have a fantastic flavor. It should. It should. Yeah not all but it should. Yeah so yeah I recommend this. We haven't had the regular Rebecca's Creek so we don't know how that is but definitely recommend ever snobs definitely recommend the tenure. Yeah. I think that's a good point.
And this is from San Antonio. Yeah I may even recommend this over what we had before because that was Wyoming. Yeah that was such a high proof for not the flavor that I was expecting. Right. You know if I if I'm drinking that something high proof I'm going to step on it for a long time. I want something that has a lot of flavor to it.
Yeah I agree.
You know you brought up. Oh well hold on before we jump ship I was about to change that but we have another beer. I mean the first half we talked about a Christmas beer and we have a second Christmas beer. And did we talk about the show. Yeah we did. We did. Very quickly. Actually we did. Yeah.
That's good. Because I remember saying special over and over special special special special. Right. Yeah. Well look anyways you were talking about earlier the the at the college how they're trying to come up with words you can't say.
I would say it's similar to what you can't say today like on TV and sitcoms. You know I kind of I think about you know when we grew up there there's stuff that we could totally say like the Archie Bunker is the all in the family or you know you could Archie Bunker got away with saying all kinds of horrible stuff.
Even I think I don't even know if he's I don't think he ever said the N word but he would he would elude to it. And then you had George Jefferson that was featured on that show and they had a spinoff called the Jeffersons which was hilarious.
Which I watched. I never watched all in the family but I watched the shit out of the Jeffersons.
And the Jeffersons were great. I mean you know what because they I tell you what one thing that was fantastic about the Jeffersons I mean the first of all it was a great show. Second of all they introduced interracial marriage.
They had wheezy.
Wheezy was George's wife but then they had they had Larry I think Larry was a white guy and he was married to wheezy's friend. Correct. And wheezy's friend was black and wheezy was like hey George you got to meet wheezy.
Well the white guy was an old was he wasn't he British. Yes. Was he an old British dude. I say old. He was old to me back then. I don't know how old he is. He was probably in his 30s.
Right. Well Franklin covers his name Thomas Willis was the the Willis didn't he. Yeah. Yeah he would. And wheezy's wheezy's friend was Roxy Helen Willis. And you know so wheezy was introduced and she was hey well wheezy.
Well Helen's going to bring over her husband and George didn't know he was white. He was like that was a hilarious show. I love the Jeffersons man. But the all the family you know I watched tons of it. I didn't really like it that much. You know I remember the meathead son and the.
That guy today is still a fucking meathead. Carl Reiner. What does that mean meathead like. Stupid dumbass. Oh I thought. This character's name in the show was meathead and the actor who played Carl Reiner is a complete nut job.
You mean Rob Reiner Rob Reiner in a car. Yeah Rob Reiner. He is a whack job hardcore lib just spouting off all kinds of he's still on Twitter Rob Reiner is yes. Hardcore. Oh he's the director guy. Well he is but he is also the meathead on all the family.
Then you have Sally Struthers who she was just like oh my gosh she had that one channel where she was begging for money for. Oh my God was it kids or for pets. Oh for. Yeah. For like Africa humanitarian causes or whatever.
Look I get it. You know I don't want to like slam it but at the same time I'm like God bless man. It was heart wrenching every time that came on because it was kind of like a Sarah McLaughlin right. Show the little pathetic animal. Yeah I don't want to see the part dead dog in the cage. Right.
Here take on my life savings so that dog will live. Yeah but I love Edith and Archie Bunker they were just fantastic. Edith Edith's voice voice. Come on Archie.
What's great she did not talk like that. So she had to do that. Yeah it's so damn close.
Anyway I love how they sing the the the introduction of the song a little theme the piano play. Right. Tell me knock on my door. That's three companies. Getting that wrong. Yeah. What the thing is is that they would say stuff back then that you can't get away with now. I mean these companies probably.
They had a bunch of gay. They were big time. You know well you could do that now because John Reader's character would act very flamboyant when needed because his character was supposed to be gay. That's why he was allowed to live with two women. Right. Otherwise he couldn't live there. Otherwise he couldn't live there. So whenever the landlord was there he got all flamboyant and stereotypical gay. Right. Right. So if that happened today I think you'd be. I think you'd be a little bit more of a
Twitter mob would go nuts. Yeah I mean nowadays that would be considered off limits simply because you know they would be complaining about how a gay man can't beboys and the bookies have an impromptu
You know can't you know can't be free to be himself. No. I don't know what I'm trying to say
that they're
Making an issue out of it. I guess I don't know I don't know they're making fun of it. Maybe well
I don't think they're making fun of it. I just think that they were making an excuse
They were just three people that wanted to save money and live it. Yeah, well you're not a bad guy
You're a cook and stuff like that you and it just worked out for them
And you know based on the show you never intermingled or anything like that
they all respected each other and it was even though there was there was a lot of
Stuff that is really kind of inappropriate that you would never do I would never do as a roommate
Because I thought it was it was kind of good because you had yet yet Jack
John Ritter as Jack Tripper right and you had
In Joyce DeWitt played Janet Wood in there and then the other
blonde was started off as
Suzanne Summers as Chrissy snow and
Chrissy snow lasted
You know a couple years and she played a great dimwit
She did it in she was just up until the point where she was she got mad and and look in it
Here's where a feminist
Feminist some feminist attention would be appreciated because she wanted more money. She was a color
I want I want to get paid like the rest of the guys are right
I want my equal share because we're all part of the show and it seems fair it does and they were like back then all right
The new star Priscilla Barnes who was playing?
Terry Aiden and she took it Suzanne Summers job over because she wanted more money
She's like hey, man people are tuning in for me. Then you also have the Larry Dallas remember him the guy with the
Frizzy hair to come in
He was like the gigolo
Little necklace that popped down. He was the quagmire of the threes company right now
After Priscilla Barnes burnt out, you know, they brought in another blonde and she was Cindy snow
Which these like poor names? I think she was Suzanne's
Chrissy's sister
Cindy so because Chrissy was Chrissy snow and then there was Cindy snow
They were sisters and it was for far as the show goes and but the actress was a generally
Harrison and then you have the was a Norman fell who played Stanley Roper
You know what? They don't have on here. Oh, they're your Don knots Ralph
furry furly
Mr. Furley he was on first right for the first year. He was the first one on he was
his little
Reaction so over-the-top but he would like make fun of
Like the gay people even though he looked the most flamboyant on the show, you know, he was talking about
Guys
And what he was probably good the character was probably gay
And then normally fell Stanley Roper in Helen Roper the
Yes, seriously what nothing let's just move on
Yeah, there were there were a lot of good shows back in those days
Hey, what were the years that that three companies ran late 70s to early 80s?
70s 8 7 8 seasons started in 77 70s
Well, we gave up we watched the first probably
Four five then once they started rotating the people we kind of gave up on it as a family as a family
Yeah, I should as a family as a family. Oh wow, and they had a lot of spinoffs
They really I
Don't remember any spinoffs. Yeah. Well, I think they did
Happy Days had some they had a couple
77 about that's late
Happy Days had Laverne Shirley and Morgan Mindy
So when was like Gilligan's Island and I was a late 60s and 70s so they had
To sales Navy they had two spinoffs called the Ropers and then there's a crowd. I
remember the Ropers
Three's a crowd threes a crowd. I definitely remember the Ropers
Threes a crowd was saying none of them were as successful of course three's a crowd to be who's in threes a crowd
Was a
John Ritter
Alan Campbell and
Mary
Calderette also was two guys and a girl this time. So John Ritter was still in in that one
Yeah, did you think John Ritter? Yeah, you know what? It's it's like
threes a crowd was
preceded
The threes company because what I say threes company started in 87, right?
No, 70s. I'm sorry. I misspoke. Yeah, so threes crowd threes a crowd was a spinoff
Technically it did one season. It was a one and done. Yeah
I think I watched that one. Yeah, didn't Jack Tripper falls in love with Vicki Bradford and they move in together
And that was this spinoff the final episode was an 85
I never heard of it. So yeah, I
Recall the name I
Said why did the threes a crowd get canceled the series originally planned to star Richard Klein?
Reprising his role of Larry from threes company 76
Klein was then offered a recurring role in the series which he turned down shows canceled to make room for different strokes
with different strokes
Coleman Todd Bridges and good
Few of those characters went wheels off. Oh my god. All of them died. Well, yeah
The girl died. Oh, that was like one of those curses everybody on that show
She I think was drugs wasn't she was just a bad place. She drugs and just a hard life
Yeah, she did last very long telling you man when you come a child actor in in Hollywood
It's it usually doesn't end. Well, is Todd Bridges still alive. No. Oh, you know what? I don't know another I don't think so though
I
Don't know. I know he he struggled as well because basically after
Different strokes was done. He his career was he's alive and that and that was the whole what are you doing?
But will that was that was Gary Coleman. So he's born in 65. He's
He's about five years old and us imagine that yeah, he's 57 currently. Yeah
so
Then you had mr. Drummond and I don't remember the maid's name, but she had a spinoff herself
Miss Garrett better name
So what do you do?
What do you do when you're one of these child actors and you?
Charlotte ray and you peak early you peak early like that and you have
Immense fame. I think you have to have and then and then where you go from there. I think you will some
Some figure it out. I think you what you have to do is you go. I mean you I'm done
I'm stepping away you have my life and then you become like but you stay in the business
You got to stay in the business. Well, no, you can become a manager at Kroger. Well, no
I mean some of these folks do some of these folks go to school like there's some folks who
Get out and they go to school and get a job
Very much. She was a she was a child actress. I mean she came up
What was the the first movie she was in she was in ET or fire start or fire starter?
Cujo she was in oh gosh
ET well, that's why I said ET. Oh, you said ET. Well, I mean she was in
Charlie's Angels ET first 50 days screen that much later blundered
I mean, but let me see here the first one's 99 2003 a little tiny fire starter
I think was the first one. I mean, it's a Steve King book. Yeah
So she started off in doing fire starter. She was an amazing
Cat's eye in 85 the year afterwards and then 86 she was in babes in
Toyland, I don't know if you remember that
Yeah far from home in 89
She nude
Wow Wow
Well, she was of age back then. Oh, yeah, right. Why she no she was not new. She's never done a nude
Well, she flashed
What's his name? Yeah, but that was my host. Yeah. Well, I mean she could do that David Letterman
Remember she jumped up on his
Jumped up on his desk and lifted her shirt and flashed him away from the camera
You know, you don't remember that I remember that I remember that
Yeah, but it didn't do anything for me. I mean I was happy for Dave and depth your day was happy
He was you know, he's like, I'm glad I'm sitting down behind the desk. Yeah, I'm glad I'm sitting down
Well, the desk went I
Don't think so. Yeah, it lifted. You know, she she had some struggles
She had some struggles through the teenage years. She did but she kept it quiet and it was
Persevering. Yes. That's really the thing about it. She did persevere and I'm sure she's been
Persevering and I'm sure she's got a lot of skeletons because she's still single, you know
She went out with that one guy Tom Brown Tom something Tom Berenger
Not Tom Berenger. He had a really top green top green or something like that. Oh Tom Green remember him
Yes, no who Tom Green he's a comedian. Yeah, he's a comedian very kind of weird guy centric
But you know, he was whatever they got along doesn't really fucking matter
She was happy with he had a talk show now as she just did she started off, you know this past year
She had a new talk show. I mean good for her. I would watch it
I mean, I'm not totally against as long as she's not get too woke on it and I think she's very
She's very authentic. You know to me what is he is with her
There and you know what I like what she brings to the table
She's not the typical
Fit star right she's it's kind of like the that singer from the coattails of
of
Adele no the the Kelly Clarkson. She's got a kind of a show to Kelly Clarkson's overweight. Yeah
Drew Barrymore's she's overweight. She's real compared to real person compared, you know the the standard the Hollywood
Yeah, it's kind of supermodel say you got to be at this level, you know
And I don't want to like, you know
glamorize the fact that people are overweight and obese and think that that's a great thing to do but body positivity
But the thing is is that you know what? I think a new friend thing
It's refreshing being isn't ripped and cut like that a normal human being
You know there there are guys out there that are super fucking healthy that are overweight that are far healthier than guys that are ripped
Bodybuilders are not very healthy right?
Frumpy, they're frumpy. They're not overweight. They're not like, you know fat, you know, whatever. They're just frumpy. Most people are frumpy
Right, you know what I mean, but not dudes like me not like dude like me either. We're just fat
Huh? You and I are yeah Paul's getting there. I'm getting there. I'm getting weight. I'm trying to play more basketball
It doesn't seem to be making a difference. It's that whole
Age thing. Yeah metabolism thing. Yes, it hits all of us
Well, you know, I'd like to say it's linked to the testosterone that we were referring to all the time
but I don't take testosterone and
You both do yeah, that's why we're so I'm like
I mean is that my if I start taking it I'm gonna lose weight. I'm chiseled. I
Don't know. You know my insurance kicks in I mean what does it mean with that?
It doesn't just taking it doesn't make you lose. No, you still have to exercise you have to eat, right?
Yeah, but it gives you a little bit of a of a
an emotional I believe
It makes you clear in the head. Yeah. Yeah, maybe a little bit you'll be able to pay attention more makes you clear in the head
It makes you
Just feel better. I think yeah, because when you're when your testosterone is low, I
Was tired all the time, right? I I was I'd sit at my desk kind of
You know, it wasn't bad, but I could tell a difference
right and it's it's natural for your body to have a certain amount of testosterone in you and
Was they call it when they call it HRT hormone replacement therapy, right?
I think it's come a long way and I think what you don't want to do is go to one of these
Testosterone only places. Yep, because they will jack you full of testosterone
Man big time. I know because when they give you one shot a month
Yeah, and your your testosterone is like through the roof and you are like in an entire
Erection all month right you may like
Hormonal rage, yeah, it's bad. See that that won't work at my house because the testosterone that rate has to match my wife in my wife
Good god. I mean like most cliche women
Come on, man
No, but what it will do is get you some energy back get you some focus back. Yeah
And it will help with weight loss poor producer
But yeah, I don't hear this guy's our producer is my son and you know, he's got to endure a lot of these conversations
I banged his mom
Wow god, I'm so excited it's Christmas I
Know right. I'm glad you got it. I'm glad you got it
I know right. I'm glad you got out of the fuck it. Did you buy all kinds of presents?
Well, yeah, well you did get kind of I got out of the fuck it today for sure
But yeah, I mean we bought some presents. I don't think it's you know, I mean it is I
Think everyone's gonna be happy. I mean, there's a there's so much going on
You know, I I think what are your plans for Christmas Day? You're going to see family or no
We're staying at the house. Are your is your in-laws coming in and your parents coming in they are
Yes
My parents have been ill with kovat
I don't think I shared that but they are they're bad. My dad was like this
Socks and I was at their house. Oh
You're great
Thanks for disclosing that information two weeks ago. You have to go put on a cloth mask
Yeah, but we've seen you like every other day for the last three weeks
Whatever man, it's not I look if you're gonna get it. You're gonna get it
Yeah, I don't give a fuck. I don't I'm not gonna live in fear anymore. No way. It's just ridiculous
I see these people wear masks and I'm like, you're an idiot, you know, they've got videos out there with dr
Dick in the mouth Fauci saying, you know
Absolutely that you know, there's no reason for you to walk around with the mask on right? He absolutely said that yeah
He's like, yeah, yeah, it's kind of like I guess what I just bought stock and any five
They prove that the mask don't work. But you know, hey wear it anyways fashion
It makes other people feel good is exactly what he said
It makes other people that's exactly what he said. It makes other people feel good
You know, it makes other people feel good
You know what don't get started. I'm just don't I get I get bitter. I get better. You become irrational
It's like I pull testosterone out of the ether and it just I just bring it to me bring it to me and I get enraged
Yeah, and you become the apex of the world
Dude the polar bear my penis just gets it becomes one of those seals you were talking about
Arctic
Seal
Squid seal squid seal. Yeah squid seal squid seal with multi-world teeth, right?
All right, where this is gone big slug. Have you guys are you guys gonna go see the new Avatar movie?
Oh my god, I heard that tanked
Oh really? Yeah, I heard it was do well at all. I haven't heard it is tanked
But apparently a critic came out and and claimed cultural appropriation
And they jumped all over this poor critic
What culture did they appropriate right? That's what they were saying. Oh nine feet nine foot blue people
They couldn't find a real nine foot blue person to play the nine foot blue person
It was so ridiculous. I mean what culture were they appropriated and the I guess the hair of the avatars is I guess braided
So I'm just assuming that's stupid that they're talking about, you know African American hair or whatever
But I believe the Native Americans braided hair as well, right?
They torched this
They absolutely torched this this critic and then the only thing the critic could come back to is
Well, most of the people that I've made upset are
white wing
conservative people
No, you just hang around with your circle of friends and you're in the echo chamber
I yes, I just think it's so funny that that they they just assume that anybody that criticizes them is a right-wing
Conservative misogynist racist. All right, right, right. I heard that so yeah, so I think we may
Julian I may try to go see it sometime over the next I don't know week or so. Have you had what's the rotten?
I have no idea. Yeah, I just want to go to see the technology
Really? So 4.5 on the rotten. I'm sorry 78% rotten tomatoes. Which one critic or or well rotten tomatoes
78% where he's the critic. What's the user? Yeah, there's two different ratings, right?
82% okay 82% critics audience was score to the right part. This was 93 82
Oh 82 on both. So no shit the one I'm looking at. Hold on. Are you looking you're looking at number one?
Oh, that's the avatar the way of the water
Is 78 for the tomato meter and the audience scores a 93. So 93. Yeah, that's what it says here
Very nice. So actually those are too high. So, you know what? I I don't know who I was talking to somebody about and they said it
flopped Rob was listening to something that said that it had flopped and
I do know what it was. It was a
Jason McDuffie. He was at my house. Yeah, it's somebody that's once it's a flop, right?
Because not because 93% audience score is not a bad movie. Yeah, I can tell you right now
It's not a bad movie. It's not a bad movie. It's not a bad movie
I can tell you right now it's not a bad movie. I don't care for flops or not
You know if it if it's and I want to go see it. I enjoyed the first one
You know my son went and saw it. He had never seen the first one. He had no idea
Oh, well, I want to watch the first one with Julie because been a decade since I've seen yeah for sure
I thought and I saw once yeah, I saw I saw it maybe twice
But it's been ten years since I've seen it. So I want to watch it again before we go see it
But I want to go see it because just the technology because that James Cameron is on well
They have they have tons of technology and tons of money soaked into this thing
I'm like what the fuck the amount of money spending I was thinking it I was I was
I'm like, why are they spending that much money on it? I didn't I don't get it. I still don't get it
What you say now? I mean usually movies were like 200 million like Titanic was 200 million. I know what is it like a billion?
I think this is how
the it cost Amazon to make the Lord of the Rings series a
Billion dollars. Okay, that's what to heart it for an eight episode TV show a billion dollars
Come on a part of that was was buying the rights to make it which was 250 million dollars
So that leaves 750 million dollars for
750 million dollars to make that and they think they're gonna make a profit on that
How rich is Amazon?
Why they don't care
They're bringing people in right? That's all it is bringing people and I want to watch it so they have new customers, right?
And while you're watching the movie
Check out our spatula collection. Yeah
Correct. Yeah, look look at our we have an amazing sale on humidifiers. Yes, so I
Don't know. I'm gonna go see it. I'm trying to go. I don't go
I don't go I don't go see movies very often unless they're something like this, right?
It has to be on the big yeah, you want to see it and I and Brandon saw it and he said it was good
He said he goes I cried once in
avatar
He goes this is my big six five two hundred and seventy
He is such a puppy dog and he goes it was a big brother moment. He goes he goes. Yeah, he goes he goes
He goes and I cried
And dad what I cry he goes he goes maybe because I'm a big brother and it hit me different he goes but
Dudes like us we do cry in movies. I do
Cost to make avatar to the way of the water
Six bucks the way of the water likely cost well well beyond 250 million to make
No, it's not James Cameron has remained tight-lipped about the avatar production budget
But initial estimates put it at around 250 million. Okay, however, which various sources and we're like that's not bad. No
He's tight-lipped about it because it's really 800 million
Yeah, but he suggests that it's between 350 and 400 million while both this movie and the original feature some physical sets
They also make series of use of computer generated imagery. So
400 million dollars to make a movie probably at least another hundred million in advertising
What is happening what is happening why does money not matter anymore like for these studios
Actually, it does matter because
Warner Brothers is our slashing movies left and right that were in production right Batgirl was done
They spent over a hundred million dollars on this thing and there's like we're not releasing it
They threw it away. They threw it away a hundred million dollars because they knew it was gonna be so bad
That it was probably gonna cost the money in the long run. Wow, Batgirl was done made baked whole nine yards
Who started the movie or movie the movie?
Who was in it there was actually they tried to recruit a pretty high-profile actress
I don't I don't know who the actress was but I guess the new ownership looked at it. We're like
This is gonna kill the DC
Storyline, so they axed the whole thing Wow and they're doing that with
many titles
I'd be curious. Who was the actress that was in that?
Uh back girl. Let me see here. Do we do leslie grace? I don't know who leslie grace is anyway
But they axed it and it was it was done. There you go. Um, it's leslie grace brendan frazier. Was that in it?
Yeah
Actually, there's a lot of them yet leslie grace brendan frazier. You guys know who he is, right?
Michael keaton who used to be batman
Um ivory akino jacob, uh skepio jk simmons jk simmons is uh the guy he's the farmers insurance guy
Yeah, he also played in a movie. I recommend you guys watching on netflix whiplash
Was he on whiplash? He was in whiplash. He was the teacher. Yeah
Uh, well he was on a in a move in a in a series on netflix and it's I think it's called mirror or
Yeah, I saw I saw the preview for where he was in the movie
I think it's called mirror or yeah, I saw I saw the preview for where there's a there's a second world or something like that
Yeah, that was a what a second one
Reality or world or something?
So you live in this world and there's a whole nother world, right?
An alternate alternate universe type of thing and it crosses somehow a counterpart counterpart. That's right
Yeah, it uh, that'd look interesting highly recommended man. I watched that about uh about a month ago
Uh, man, it was really good. I mean because basically what tv show or movie it's netflix. It's a series series
Yeah, so basically, uh this guy, um
You know, he's he's he's a scientist he's doing shit and all of a sudden he
uh
Does something with this equipment and it starts creating the the earth cracks in the building and it exposes this little tunnel
and he goes over through the tunnel and he walks to the other side and
He's walking in from the other side towards himself
Oh, so they're two carbon copies a wormhole into the other two universes
Yeah, so either there are two worlds that are the same and then you know, then the butterfly effect happens
You know, there's a carbon copy. They're both at the same level and then all of a sudden
Shit happens and uh, he goes over to the other side because you know, his son dies on one side
He's does die on the other and he misses him. There's all kinds of drama. Oh, dude
There's espionage because there's like I mean there's it's really fantastic movie
They did a very well very good great job. And what was the name one more time?
counterpart, but you know, I also want to talk about uh,
Brendan frazier. He's at the whale
Yeah, he yes. Have you seen that movie a lot of weight?
What he gained a lot of weight
That was a was already kind of fat. Well, it was a fat suit. No, you remember no
That's a that's a little bit of a well, yes, but you remember he was a hunk
That well, he has gained weight fit. Well, he has gained weight and he's bald but he that's a fat suit
On that you could tell well, I mean it he's got hair plus
He did become a relatively bigger dude. Well, he did but he also lost the hair right he's older
He's just like all of us right but he didn't get that fat right his hair. He should just give it up and shave it
Look at that. That's terrible. Well, I mean the whale has uh
Well, it just came out. So the whale is uh
It's like a depressing movie. It's in the movie theaters right now. It sounds like a depressing movie. Yes
Oh, I thought it was a streaming only. It's a five-star. It's a five-star movie right now
I mean not four and a half five. I mean it's oh wow. It's like what they're saying. That's like one of his best movies ever
It's a psychological drama
Wow.
Okay.
It's out right now.
Plays in the movie theaters right now.
In fact, we can go to one if you want.
So what's gonna happen?
Now that movies are being released straight to streaming
and we have all this competition for streaming.
Well I also heard that.
What's gonna happen?
I heard that's gonna be changing
because I was reading an article where HBO Max,
the new owners of that, are complete,
because HBO lost millions of dollars
over the last several years.
And that company, because they were making movies
and it was going straight to streaming.
Right.
They said that killed revenue.
Of course.
So the new management is like, we're done with that.
We're gonna release it in theaters.
Good.
And then we'll, because you're losing all that revenue.
Yeah, I think that's important.
I don't think we wanna take away the.
No, because.
The silver screen.
Yeah, there's a lot of movies I think are gonna stop doing.
There's fewer now than there were
over the last, during the whole COVID time.
Yes.
Right, there's not as many that are doing that anymore.
So you'll.
Can you imagine if they release,
like Disney, like the Mandalorian.
Imagine if they released that in the movie theater
as a series, meaning you have to go there for,
and instead of having.
Every week, I wouldn't do that.
Well, but just imagine, what if they,
instead of every week, maybe every month.
Every every month they put out, there's a two hour segment.
But I mean, look at it, I mean.
And maybe you.
Maybe you wouldn't buy a ticket for every show.
Maybe you would spend, you know, $35 for the series.
And then you come back and watch it whenever.
Well, I mean, well, look, but my point is,
is that what if they came up, because every show is what?
45 minutes, whatever.
I'm just making that up.
What if they compounded like three episodes into one?
Now you got a movie and they just say,
hey, come back next month.
Paying 15 bucks a month to watch a show?
Dude, I'm just saying.
I mean.
And there's 10 shows that you want to see?
Yeah, and then at the end of the year, they release it.
So how many people do you think would find it worth it
to go to the theater versus.
The argument is, is that HBO decided
that they don't want to release straight to streaming.
Those are movies.
They are movies, but so is this.
It's a movie.
The whale.
But I'm just saying, I'm talking about like.
Mandalorian.
Mandalorian's a TV show.
Well.
It's a difference.
But if they were to break the TV,
look, man, well, what if they say, hey, man,
we're coming up with a five movie segment?
Like three episodes.
Three movies.
I wouldn't, I still wouldn't do it.
Lord of the Rings.
Yeah, I.
I wouldn't pay.
I'm in a camp.
Because right now you spend 15 bucks a month
and you get the entire channel.
Yeah, but what if that wasn't available?
What if they took that away from you?
Right.
Well, then you wouldn't have a choice.
Well, I'm just saying, like, right now,
I'm not, imagine they didn't have Disney that offered that.
Right.
And just say, now they have Mandalorian
and instead of being having, I mean, what if they took it,
as far as a promotional thing,
pretend that like the Disney doesn't exist.
And it may come to that.
It may come to that.
Well, that's what I'm getting at.
Is that.
And I have a, I don't know if I would do that, though.
I'd may go without.
What if you're a huge Star Wars fan?
Yeah, but how many Star Wars episodes,
shows they have out there?
How often can you do that?
It could be a major dudes like us thing.
Not necessarily us, but it could be a dudes like this thing
for somebody else.
But I know, but you got Mandalorian,
you got Boba Fett, you got Andor, you got Obi-Wan.
Oh my gosh.
Every single time you're doing this.
It's never ending.
They're gonna capture you for one movie a month.
You can't.
Not if you're doing three episodes, three episodes.
No, I would not do that.
I don't know, man.
I don't think it's crazy.
I don't think what you're saying is crazy.
I don't think it is either, but I think.
I think it's feasible.
But the cat's already out of the bag.
They were.
Streaming has already happened.
They would lose viewers as well.
I think we're at the point in life now
where you can't go back from streaming.
But that's true.
People are expecting it.
They're just flat out expecting it.
Well, but you know what?
It's how you draw that line in the sand.
Yeah.
I could see Disney doing that.
Not necessarily Disney.
It doesn't have to be in Mandalorian.
I'm just saying it could be anything.
I would go without.
I would.
I would go without because I can't financially support that.
Because I go to the movie once a month.
Well, what if you have five shows you want to see?
They're all like that.
And you're an addict and you need help.
Yeah.
You want to do Game of Thrones.
You want to do Mandalorian.
Well, there's nothing wrong with going to the movies once a month.
You want to do Breaking Bad.
Well, then you want to do this.
No, I got you.
Look, and that's fine.
And there's five shows you watch every month.
But it's just like any other movie.
Once it's been out there for a year or two,
it's going to come on disk.
Well, that's what I.
Or they're going to stream it.
I'll wait.
That's the option.
But if you want to watch it right now, then it's there.
No, I'd wait.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
You put it in the movie theaters first.
Maybe I pick one.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm going back to my original thought.
I don't think that they can.
TV series can't make it to the silver screen, in my opinion.
That's what I mean.
Movies, yes.
Typically, the quality is not there.
Yeah, movies can stay there.
And it could be streaming and go to the movie theater.
Because there are some people that prefer to watch things
in the movie theater.
Look at you.
You go into Avatar at the movie theater.
And I guarantee it's going to be on streaming at some point.
Sure will.
I see two movies a year, though.
Right, exactly.
I saw Top Gun.
And you're good with that.
And I'll see this.
Yeah, I'm fine with that.
And you're good with that.
Well, we're good with that because we're
given an opportunity to do that.
And it is what it is.
I was just posing it as.
No, I see that as an alternative.
Could it happen?
Possibly.
I think it can.
Would I bite into that?
You may not.
Maybe one show.
I may not.
But if I have five shows that I want to see, I can't do that.
So ladies and gentlemen, Merry Christmas to all of you.
Yeah, Merry Christmas.
Jingle bells, jingle bells.
Absolutely.
So I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas break.
It's going to be a couple of weeks now.
Merry Christmas is the thing to say.
Yeah, it'll be 2023 next time we talk.
That's right.
It'll be 2023.
Everybody should be excited about that.
It's going to be the new year.
That we sign to you.
And we're going to catch you in the first week of January.
Yeah.
We'll see if the Titans are still playoff bound.
They are.
They will be.
They're going to get bounced in the first round.
But thank you very much, Jeff.
Happy holidays.
Merry Christmas, actually.
