to see all those great topics that I.
While you're perusing through your phone,
you might want to turn the volume down.
Yes. Silence our phones.
I was in church on Sunday and I three guys walking above
and I put my phone.
I always saw this my phone and I put my phone in my pocket
and it swiped my swiped my jeans and turned the silencer off.
Turned it turned it back on.
So we were texting and you guys were texting me.
Yes. Anyway.
And I looked at Shelley, looked at me like really.
And I called like twice and I was like scrambling
to get my hand in the phone, you know, hand in my pocket
to turn it off. And I was like, damn it, I'm that guy.
You're trying to do it so no one notices. So it's not me.
Oh, it was. I mean, I was that guy.
Even though I'm religious about turning my phone off.
Thanks for texting me during church service, gentlemen.
You're welcome.
Well, you know, the day of church was after the Saturday
that we went to the local Frisco revel bar
to watch the tribute band.
It is ACDC and Metallica and Metallica Motor Breath.
Motor Breath.
And there was a lot to talk about after that concert.
Yeah. Yeah. After.
But, you know, during the concert, it was actually pretty good, man.
I mean, I wouldn't think I would never go to a Metallica concert.
You know, I mean, I would.
I would. I would.
I would know I was really impressed.
Yeah. Those guys jammed and it was and they were solid.
I mean, I made fun of them a little bit because the big the guy,
the lead singer, he had whatever shirt he was wearing.
It followed the con, followed the contour of his belly.
And you can see like a huge crater where his belly button was.
Yeah. He had deep belly button.
Yeah, I didn't really look.
I thought they did.
I think Paul was impressed.
He looked like this guy is he is it recorded?
They did have a backing track.
Oh, yeah. No, they stopped playing.
It was the guitarist.
I was like, I even texted.
Or maybe maybe we talked about it.
I was like, if if if the lead guitarist and I didn't know
he was the lead singer as well, the lead guitarist of Metallica, I go,
if he were to get like sick on a on a on in the middle of tour,
could this guy like join the band and like and like play?
Yes, he would. He could.
You would be surprised how many fabulous or fucking
how many fantastic guitar players are out there,
session players that they're just phenomenal.
Yeah. Guys that are actually better.
Maybe the Metallica guitars.
In fact, that is a trend.
They have there's a lot of albums put out there where they have a band
that plays like you go to a concert, you watch ACDC.
But the actual musicians,
that's what we're going for a long time.
Yeah. The actual musicians in the recording studio.
Oh, yeah. The actual band members. Yeah.
Yeah. Isn't that crazy?
Like Boston. Tom Schultz played all that.
In his basement. Oh, yeah.
And then he hired his band. Right.
Now, that's crazy.
And there's more. There's a there's some ladies, but she did.
She played the bass.
I think we talked about the part broadcast.
What do they call the power?
There's a certain band that was back in the 70s or 80s.
And there was session players there and all the albums.
Yeah, I remember.
Yeah, you were talking about that one time.
All right. Well, there's more to talk about with the rebel.
Yeah, with the rebel.
I mean, I'll tell you what we do.
Jump into that. Pop the hymen on a lot of stuff.
Go ahead. Yeah, no, I'm just going to say.
So what are we at?
We're almost on the verge of February, right?
We're at the end of January here. January 24th.
It's day after Preston's birthday.
And the day after they had a street brawl,
which we want to talk about a little bit.
Also, not just the street brawl,
but it was a statistics put out there today that I saw on the news
that the age for under
twenty one murderers has gone up.
The percentage of people that the people under the age of twenty one
has gone up significantly, like doubled.
So people committing murders are getting younger and younger.
Yeah. And you know, and that just follows the trend of what happened there.
But, you know, it's it's it's June 24th. It's a Tuesday night.
We got a brand new bourbon that we tried out. It's pretty good.
Do we jump into the summer?
I'm sure June 24th.
Did I say June? You did. Yeah.
January. I'm Paul. I'm Sean. I'm Paul. You're Jeff.
Wow. I'm still Paul. Yeah. Yeah, I'm still Paul. You're all here.
Well, you're in your train wreck.
Anyways, what is the bourbon we're drinking?
This is Penelope toasted.
Toasted. That's it.
It's tasty. Like a toasted marshmallow.
And it's you have the bottle, Mr.
I thought we already had this.
No, he doesn't. He doesn't have the bottle.
So we're just flying blind here.
What you're grabbing. It is Penelope.
Oh, I will. OK. All right.
I'll be back. Well, I mean, you had sent a link on the appropriate way
to taste the bourbon.
Yes, which was interesting. I'm going to do it right now.
Yeah. You're supposed to like.
Suck it or something like that.
Oh, yeah. Penelope toasted barrel strength.
And we've liked all of the Penelope so far.
Yeah, they're good.
Yeah. Even the for the for great.
Actually, I do like this now.
I mean, I just tasted it again.
It's got really soft.
I said toasted marshmallow because I was joking, but it does taste kind of sweet,
like a a little marshmallow taste.
Yeah, it's opened up very nice.
Caramel is just the is just the toasted information we have up there.
Yeah. Sweet caramel.
OK, that's that's not the same one.
It's it's toasted.
This one's the tan label.
Man. Oh, man. Oh, man.
So, yeah, I did call you in the middle of church.
And yeah, well, I was calling you about the revel.
I know. Well, there it is right there.
But what we were talking about is the tap.
Yeah, it's a four grain. Oh, this one is for grain.
Blend of three bourbon mash bills. Nice.
Corn for grain obviously has all of them.
Wow. So it's a number two char.
And they use a four to six year old number four staves and number two heads.
Oh, nice char levels of age whiskey.
OK, mash bill.
Every toasted series barrel has different mash bill.
All four grains.
I'm enjoying it. I love a.
I enjoy a well balanced four grain bourbon.
And what you say the potency was one.
One twelve. One twelve. OK, nice.
Right in the little that perfect range that we enjoy.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Where does this fall in the price range?
Sixty bucks. OK, it's worth it.
Yeah. All right.
For all you listeners out there, Penelope toasted sixty dollar range.
Definitely worth it. Definitely worth it.
Yeah, it's got a very it's very it's very flavorful.
Absolutely. Lots of lots of flavor to this.
What do they call it? Chewyness or whatever.
But it's you know, it's it's I put it in the same category as the TX
whiskey without it's got that the bird that maple caramel dessert flavor.
This one isn't as sweet.
Oh, so you're not talking about the bourbon.
You're actually talking about the TX.
Yeah, I don't I don't get the correct.
I don't either. You don't.
Oh, I'm going to have to. Oh, you aren't doing it right then.
Hold on. Oh, I got this.
So what was that?
That was an Instagram.
That was a what was that?
This is this obnoxious beauty.
Do you taste your bourbon better?
I don't know how to explain this technique.
So I'm just going to demonstrate first.
You must pour your bourbon just like that.
I don't know how to explain what I'm.
Oh, boy. Oh, what are you doing?
This simple trick can help you taste your bourbon.
Oh, you know what? Fuck it. We'll just.
Yeah, he doesn't really explain.
He goes, you just put it on the top of your tongue and it
kind of breathe in.
Well, you know what? And it aerates.
It makes it spread across all palates.
Well, his hypothesis was it exposes more of your tongue
in your mouth to the flavor or to the bourbon.
What is no more taste buds are correct, are touched
correct in a weird way.
We just gargle it. What is it like silence?
Why don't you? What is the murderer's name on there?
Oh, yeah. That's what he did. We hear the father beans.
That's what the guys do.
That's exactly what he's doing.
What are you talking about?
Sounds of the sounds of the lab.
It's a nice kiyote and some father beans.
Wow. What's the actor's name?
I'm an actor.
Anthony Hopkins. Anthony Hopkins.
That's right. Yeah.
Anyway, it's a good one. It's a good bourbon.
I think it's well worth the investment.
Yeah. Penelope's we have four of them, I think,
and we like all of them so far.
Yeah, we really do. Yeah.
All right. So let's jump back to the rebel.
It's a great story. Let's let's let's let's do.
Let me let me let me cue this thing up here for us.
So dudes like us, if you're in that age bracket
where you're not necessarily like super wealthy,
you're not super poor, but you know, you're just dudes like us.
You know, you're comfortable middle class, middle class.
You know, well, my point by saying that is that,
you know, if you go out to a bar, I mean, I'm not saying like,
you know, we don't go to bars. I don't.
We don't go to bars typically every week.
You know, maybe once every other Saturday night.
For sure. Stories. Another story.
Now, what we what we do is we like we go out and when we do,
we want to go out and have fun.
The idea is the idea of going out and having fun for for us
dudes like us is that we want to go somewhere where we enjoy the music
and we we want to drink and, you know, we're going out and drinking
and having fun, listening to music.
There are some conditions, you know, the music has to be good.
And the place that you go to, you got to be able to get home safely.
Right. And got a plan ahead.
And you got to you got to trust your environment that you're in,
you know, and you got to be able to you got to be able to trust
the people that are working there, you know,
because if you're going to get blown up a little bit,
you know, you don't want the server to pad the tab, you know,
because those environments like the alcohol is flowing, the music's going.
Oh, man. Like, you know, everybody's ordering rounds.
Yeah, everybody's ordering around.
And they're like, buy us rounds over here.
And then, oh, yeah, everybody gets cocky.
Let's do shots.
You know, and then you never know where that stuff's going right on the tab.
Right. You see what my thumb is?
What?
Nobody seriously.
So, yeah, there's a certain amount of trust that the servers are doing stuff.
And we ordered and it's the first couple of times that we've done this.
And I actually enjoy it.
I bought a block of tickets for us.
Yeah. And I think it's a table.
Oh, dude. And we got a really prime table.
Oh, yeah, it's great.
It is an absolute perfect table for us to be sitting at.
And we're going to do it again.
But we're just going to do it differently. Right.
You know, well, just we're going to do it differently is the long story short.
But during this concert, we went to go see Metallica Motor Breath.
I keep on saying motor boat, motor boat, motor boat.
And then ACDC was going to start around midnight ish. Yes.
Towards the first one, Metallica was great.
Motor. They were the same band.
Motor, Motor, Motor, Metallica.
So I'm not a Metallica fan.
Not expect that. I didn't grow up listening to them.
I literally could name two songs.
Well, I'll have to introduce you to them.
And I was thoroughly impressed.
A lot of it sounded, you know, relatively the same.
I'm not going to lie.
Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun.
But you're proud.
But we're.
We're. We're.
Death to everyone.
Anyway, but it did.
It did have the same kind of flavor to every song, but it was still different.
It was catchy. It was great.
It was cool.
And the musical talent of this band was impressive.
Yeah, they were. They were very good.
Even a singer
Gardner's of his belly button shape.
He did a good job.
He did a great job.
And I have to say, looking over at Jeff,
he looked like a frickin seven year old in an ice cream store.
He was over there. Yeah.
I have literally never seen you so happy.
You're grinning ear to ear.
You knew every word of every song you like.
And you're like, yeah, oh, my God, this is a great one.
It was hilarious.
It was like, you know, this one, you know, this one.
So we the layer for this particular time is the last time we went there.
We got blown up and got pulled over.
We're not going to we're going to we're going to be tame.
We're just going to drink beer.
So that's what we did.
I started drinking beer and I was like, hey, you know what?
I want an old fashioned in a beer.
I'm going to drink an old fashioned, finish my beer,
and it's going to take longer. Right.
That didn't work. And then we're going to do 10 shots of it.
And Paul was like, and then shots came out.
Now, hold on, hold on. Paul's like, one round.
I'm not going to drink. I'm not going to drink at all.
So I was like, all right, whatever. I tried.
And the next thing I know, a Buffalo Trace shot.
I reach it down in front of me and I pull out two little mini bottles
of some Jack Daniels.
And I was like, hey, you can see that. That's right.
Yeah. Where did you put those?
Well, I was. Yes.
No, no, they were warm.
I don't mean where you have them.
I where you put them like like you poured them into your old.
I just I gave one to Jeff and I gave one to me.
And I was just kind of like, I just went up there
and it was gone that fast.
And I was like, how did you do that?
I didn't even see him do it.
Yeah, it was like the plastic of the bottle like sucked in.
It was imploded. It was flat.
Yeah, I don't know.
It was like it was not it didn't even glug.
It was like I'm surprised the bottle didn't go down with it.
It was like a luge.
It just went right into the mouth.
It didn't we learn?
Didn't we? Yeah, we did.
We learned from the last time we're like, you know, we're going to sneak in alcohol
and that's going to make our so go down.
I get there. And you guys know, we just make everything we drink more potent.
We pick up Scott picked us up.
Scott picked me up and then we swung over, pick up the Chuckster.
And Jeff said, hey, well, I'm on my way over to Paul.
And I say, I'll meet you guys over there.
And I wanted to get something to eat first
because you were like, who means the home?
And Jeff was like, I'm making some pork shoulders.
And then no one invited me after I said, you know, I was like, all right.
Well, I guess I can't come over.
I want to go find my own.
Oh, you're waiting for an invite.
I was like, I'm making leftovers. Come on over.
Yeah, I was like, yeah, I'm going to go over to Jeff's house.
I go over there, order some chicken tenders and some pickles, fried pickles.
And I have a beer.
We're sitting there chilling the server who was actually really good at the right.
He was, you know, he took care of us and, you know, he was a I need a credit card
for the table. I was like, well, how about a credit card for me?
Yeah, much better idea.
And he was like, well, I need one.
You know, I just need one for the table.
It's like I need one.
At the end of the night, one for the night.
Print out because he says every seat has its own.
There's a significant.
So whoever orders per the seat is going to get the bill.
And he'll square that up at the middle at the end of the night.
Well, everything imploded.
Well, I mean, towards the end of the.
Well, walk us through when the fire started there, Paul.
Yeah. So so Metallica had finished.
Right. I think they overdrove the speakers.
Yeah, they had finished.
I mean, we were we all had blood run out of our ears.
So maybe they were. Yeah, maybe that's true.
It was significantly louder.
So then there was a break.
And then ACDC was kind of warming up and they were playing music
and video video on the screen that came down.
And finally, ACDC took the stage
and they all saw like very first song.
They have 45 seconds in 45 seconds in.
And we look up and the speaker on the far side is
has flames looking out of it.
It's not looking, but it's on fire.
Yeah, no. So at first it just started out kind of glowing
and then some flames were coming out of it.
And then they were licking up like towards the ceiling,
which, you know, a great white.
You guys remember the great white concert where 100 people.
I don't know. Well, that was different.
Those were those were pyrotechnics.
Yeah, those pyrotechnics that were designed to to flame out this one.
And they caught the roof on fire.
And that's doors locked.
And the doors were chained. Yeah.
So anyway, and I wasn't worried about not being able to get out.
But when it's when I saw the flames going towards the ceiling,
that's what got me nervous because I was like, if that catches on fire
and that starts to spread across the ceiling, I mean, and so I was like,
and I pointed out to you or maybe you already saw it
and you sprinted off like to go get somebody.
And then I turned to Jeff and I was like, be ready to roll.
And I'm just like, what are you talking about?
He's like, he's like, what?
He's like, what? I'm singing Hell's Bells.
I must have said it five times.
Be ready to roll. Be ready to roll.
Because I was like, man, just like there might be a stampede.
I didn't know what was going to happen.
Yeah. Well, we're close to the back.
I would have gone out that way. Right. Yeah.
So anyway, then finally, people started in the crowd, started noticing
and they started moving away and people started having the same reaction
I did, which was be ready, like, you know, get nervous.
And they started filtering out.
And finally, the band stopped playing. Correct.
And the lead singer was like, oh, yeah, there is a fire.
The speakers on fire. Right.
And then this dude runs out with a fire extinguisher and he goes
and then he sprays the ceiling around it, which I appreciated.
Well, he killed it. I mean, it was a plume.
Yeah, it went out immediately.
Oh, yeah. And then but then he did like a for good measure
around the ceiling, which I don't think helped.
It helped, but it didn't help what happened afterwards. Right.
So immediately the place like became this hazy, cloudy, awful chemical mess.
It was just inhaling, just toxic.
And we everybody moved out of the room immediately.
Sure enough, not a not a minute later, the fire department pulls up
and police and the cops. Yeah.
And so everybody's I mean, they look over at Jeff.
They're like, that's him right there.
Grab him. They wrestle him to the ground, taser eight times.
Well done, by the way, in the butt.
And you were still in the butt.
It's like a probe. Yeah.
No, they don't have that.
They don't have the shocker.
Yeah. No tasers enough.
Anyway, so we we kind of moved out to the pool table area and
everybody was I mean, everybody was excited, like not in a good way,
but like yapping it up.
And I saw the fire and all this.
I mean, so we're all and then meanwhile,
be all the servers are running around trying to figure out what's going on.
No, they were getting drinks.
Oh, I didn't even notice that.
Oh, people were still ordering drinks and the servers are running around,
making more drinks and delivering more drinks like they didn't skip a beat.
But I was thinking to myself, um, the night's over.
Like like ACDC is not going to finish.
Well, they took the speaker down.
Yeah, they took the speaker down.
We walked back in there, right.
And they had the ladder out.
They took the speaker down, the cops and they were in there.
The firemen were in the full gear.
Oh, yeah. Full fire gear.
And there was a thin layer of shit.
Yeah, this every thing.
Yeah. Tables, chairs, imagine the shit that's in our lungs.
I know. That's why I got out of there.
I was like I was like, I told I was like, I'm going out there.
I can't breathe this shit.
I say what I smelled it on my clothes the next morning.
Did you guys smell your clothes?
I put them in the laundry basket when I got home.
No, I didn't. I probably should have done that.
You slept in them. I didn't smell it.
Well, I mean, you know, we're also shit face that we, you know,
just fall into bed with them.
No, that was it, too.
I mean, the whole idea was not to get shit.
No, I absolutely was not.
Well, I had two beers and the one shot.
And I guess I don't know what happened.
I just you get roofied.
Now, I know that happens every single time that we're over there.
I mean, it's just like I'm like at a point now and like, fuck it.
I'm just going to drink beer when I'm there.
That's what I had five beers until the shot showed up.
That shot. Yeah.
Well, I mean, that's really too.
Because you did whatever he keistered.
Oh, that's true. I did.
Plus, I had two shots. There you go.
So it has I mean, guys, that's how it rolls, man.
Well, listen to the music. We're having fun.
We're we have a plan, but the plan blows up.
But it gets worse. Oh, boy.
It gets worse because remember, I told you, you want to go to a place that's safe.
Oh, you know, I mean, look, I'm not I'm not saying that the fire
was made the place unsafe.
You know, shit happens.
You know, you'll get over that.
But it's just like, you know, the last every time that I've gone there,
there's always this feeling that they've patted the tab.
Yeah, I've never contested it.
I've always just been like, all right, I'll pay it.
You know why? Because it's just not worth it.
Because you're not really sure.
And then like, what are you going to do?
You're going to go up there and go, let me look at the tab.
No, I only had three of those and only two of those.
And they're like, I know you didn't.
I mean, you know what I mean? It becomes a he said she said.
Yeah, but this time it was different.
Yeah, this time they, you know, the party left the fire.
Nobody forced a lot of people.
Yeah, people just left.
And literally nobody the guy that took my card for the table
took it upon himself to charge the table onto my card. Yeah.
And I was like, already had.
Well, yeah, but that was on him. Not me.
Actually, that's not true. I had my own tab.
Do you had your own tab, too?
No, my beers are on his tab.
Oh, my. Yeah, I had my own tab.
Well, that's why I told him to get his own tab.
I told everyone I didn't tell everyone.
I told him to get a tab with everybody on their own.
Don't don't put this on me.
And I told that at the very beginning, and I was the first person there.
You tried. And I told the general manager that.
So, you know, I went up there the next morning and I just had a
I just told him straight up.
I was like, look, man, you know, we we come out here
and we want to have a good time and we get a little silly.
We Uber home.
And, you know, it's just, you know, we want to be able to trust the staff.
Absolutely. And it's just like every time is that uneasy feeling.
And it's not so much that they pad the tab, which I'm sure they do.
And if they don't, then what they do, I feel like they do.
You know, in addition to that, they take it upon themselves
to give themselves a hundred dollar tip.
Well, and that's what happened last time.
They put 20 percent on our on our big bill.
Didn't tell us.
And then in the darkness and in the craziness and the drunkenness, really,
you add another 20 percent on top of it and they know they're they know
that's going to happen. Correct.
That's just honest. That's dishonest.
It is. I don't like it.
Yeah. So I meant to ask you, when you went up there the next morning,
were they cleaning? Yeah.
Yeah. The place was, I'm sure, a disaster.
Do you remember the high school that got trashed by the seniors?
I mean, memorial.
Oh, I thought it was really memorial high school.
Well, they got major trouble and they said it was like ten thousand dollars
worth of damage because they were spraying, you know,
extinguishers. Yeah.
And we the brief. OK.
They you know that that puts credence to that.
He sprayed it for what?
Four seconds. Right.
And it covered the entire bar.
Yeah. And it covered the entire bar.
And if a seniors are running around spraying this everywhere
as part of their little prank, their senior prank.
Oh, my God. Yeah. No.
Well, they they are cleaning.
The general manager shared that there were people there all night long.
Cleaning. Yeah. All night long.
Oh, yeah. I figured they went.
Yeah. And there were about five people there cleaning when I got there.
Ten forty five. Yeah.
My wife was amazed that they were open.
They're like, well, I mean, it's kind of business as usual.
And you know, the speaker was down and was sitting on the ground
in front of the the stage.
And, you know, there was there was really no damage.
In fact, the general manager had called me today as a backup phone call
and had nothing to do with
it had nothing to do with my tab and had everything to do with the fire.
So we went on that event.
Bright, bright event event, event, event, event, bright website to
to to secure the tickets.
And I entered my phone number.
So he's got that list of people that that bought tickets.
And he called you.
Yeah. He's going right down the line.
So, hey, look, I'm sorry this happened.
You know, we're going to try to make this up.
And we just want to let you know that the place is safe and that, you know,
this doesn't happen, it's an anomaly.
And then I was just like, yeah, thank you for saying that.
It's unnecessary.
But I do appreciate you going on your way and saying, yeah, however.
However, if you really want to fix your business
and keep us coming back, you need to get it.
You need to get your your wait staff grounded.
So you say it again.
I said it again, but I didn't know that was the general manager.
He just told me he was the manager.
Oh, was he like, oh, same guy?
It was the same guy.
You talk because, yeah, I talked to him in person because I just explained to him.
And I was nice about it both times.
So did he recognize you?
Oh, he's a hey, I was the guy that came in.
I didn't say that. He said he said, are you the guy that came in Sunday?
Nice Sunday morning.
And I said, yes, sir, I am.
And I was like, look, and I don't mean to be beating a dead horse.
I didn't know you were the same guy.
It's just like I think it's important.
I think that if I ran a business and someone was doing that, I would want to know.
And I tell you, we we don't.
So I mean, we we don't make or break your bar.
We don't. However, we make a huge part of it when we're there.
You know, we're part of the guys that enjoy it.
We're part of the guys that are having fun.
And we're part of their typical clientele.
We're the spirit of I can promise you.
I can promise you if we're pissed off about our bill, there are many.
And that's what I can get pissed off about.
And he recognized that.
And I haven't looked at my bank statement.
The very next day, I saw five hundred fifty dollars pending.
And I was kind of like, yeah.
I mean, how many people do you know get have a I was shocked when I had a two
hundred and sixty dollar bill. Yeah.
That was just for me. That wasn't even the whole table.
So granted, yours was the whole table.
But even then, I mean, what?
Oh, yeah, there's something else on there.
There's something else going on.
Maybe maybe a burnt speaker.
That's how he's going to repay. Yeah.
How much of those?
Man, I don't know.
Back to the tab. It's just it's it's just a little frustrating.
You know, it is. I mean, you know what?
Look, I don't want to beat this in, you know, in.
I don't want it.
I want this to be a learning experience for everybody.
Yeah. First of all, we need to be more mature as dudes like us.
It'd be more responsible. We're out there.
However, like I said, when we go into a place like that,
we really do want to have fun and we want to let loose and to trust those guys.
But me personally, I don't know what happens, but
I just get fucked up when I'm there.
And I know that's why I said I think I was roofing.
And of course, I'm a little sarcastic, but at the same time, like,
I just don't remember drinking that much because I feel
I drink far more when I'm over at your house.
And we're making our own fucking drinks. Right.
I feel like there's no way that I can remember everything that goes on at your house.
Right. But yet I don't remember what's going on at the at the revel.
I can't hold it anymore. Let's come clean.
It was Jeff. I gave you some Jeff or a free or a beer or whatever it's called.
Right. Yeah. It was so fun, though.
We refeed you. Yeah. Jeff did.
Were you sore in the morning? Yeah.
I had a condom in my butt. I don't know what that was from.
I didn't say we but raped you.
What I said was, we roofed you.
I don't believe I said that either.
Well, we went to the gym and worked out. That's what I meant.
Oh, leg day.
Leg day.
Does that explain everything? I'm disturbed.
Yeah, I had a condom in my ass. It's leg day.
How does that work? I'm not really sure how that works.
But anyway, it's that was it's a fun story.
I mean, it was kind of scary.
I'm not scared. It's it's something that it was crazy.
It well, the story for the fire was was definitely crazy.
And how does a speaker catch on fire?
I thought it was low voltage going into it.
No. OK, the bigger speakers are powered.
I'm sorry. Yeah, the bigger
there's the bigger speakers are powered.
There's all kinds of things going on that could cause it.
You know, those speakers, I think, were self-powered.
So there's no amplifier that's external running wires up to there.
Otherwise, the fire wouldn't have happened at the speaker
would have happened down by the amplifiers.
So it's based on what Jeff and I were talking about the Sunday afterwards
is that we heard the sound system shut down for a second.
Yeah. Did you notice that?
I didn't. Yeah, there was certain one of the speakers went out.
Yeah. During during metallic.
It was the left side after it was after the left side went out.
And I was kind of, well, that's odd.
And I'm thinking, all right, well, they're doing the change up.
So maybe they're pulling a soundboard or something in between.
Yeah. When they're showing up and then all of a sudden they kick back on.
And then a couple of minutes later, I don't.
Yeah, I do slightly remember that.
Yeah. So I think it had something to do with that.
But here's the thing.
When speakers go out like that, it's usually because they're clipping.
If they're clipping in, there's a little bit of safety in there.
Well, there is.
There's a thermostat in there and it shuts off and it shuts off the power.
So when it ignites, there's like a few starts to so starts to spark.
But what can happen, what can happen is that thermostat will actually melt.
And apparently it did.
And when it melts, then it creates that bond,
which totally is the opposite of what it's supposed to do.
But, you know, it was it must have been that hot where, you know,
plus they had probably had a bunch of dust and who knows?
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Right.
That's what I mean.
My takeaway from this is it's not safe to play Metallica.
I mean, what if I'm wearing earphones?
I don't think it matters.
I don't think it matters who was playing.
And I don't really think it was had anything to do with the Metallica.
No. So I can wear headphones and listen to Metallica and I'd be safe.
You're a jackass.
But you know what?
The whole experience about going to a bar and getting drunk
and trusting your servers is important.
You know, I mean, it doesn't matter if it's the revel.
It doesn't matter if it's the the Kelly's up the street or fucking.
Yeah, I can say that can be any bar.
You know, we probably have had that experience, you know, any of us.
And look at any bar. Right.
Then in the bar business, I mean, I've worked at the barbers.
I know the cocktail waitresses.
I know for a fact that they do it.
I know. It's crazy. I know they do it.
That's not cool. It's not.
And it's just like, you know what?
I want to get the tab up and they try to get them so drunk.
And they were like, hey, I'm just going to do 20 percent.
Is that good? The guy that's fine is take care of it.
You know? No, they don't even say that.
Some of them bring it.
Well, it's some of those girls, you know, it's all about the money.
They don't give a shit. Yeah.
I mean, they're great. I guess this was a guy, though.
He was very attentive.
He was very, very good.
Yeah. And so was the girl, honestly.
I mean, she was.
But here's the problem I have is that one of the guys at the table,
Scott gave the server that night
a hundred dollar bill for a tip.
Oh, damn. Because he was like, hey, I don't know what's going to happen
with the bill, but here's a hundred dollars for you.
So we tipped a massive tip on top of that.
On top of a like that was a not enough for them.
Not to screw up 20 percent.
A hundred dollars and then another hundred dollar bill.
It's it's enough to make me go,
let's find somewhere else to go, quite honestly.
But I don't know.
But there's not a lot of places where they have live bands now.
And they're not a lot of places that play the music that they do.
So, you know, what I'm going to do is I'd rather rehabilitate the place.
Yeah. And kind of force them to fix the issue. I got you.
Well, you know, we'll put this podcast out.
I'll be like, hey, man, you know, I don't say I say don't give up on the rebel.
I say, I mean, we've liked it for a long time.
Yeah. And we'll continue like it.
And we liked it when it's Grover's and we liked it when it was Coach Joe's
and whatever the fuck it was before that.
It's been several things. Yeah. Yeah.
Although this is the longest, I think it's never been anything.
Yeah, that's true. And I and I enjoy it.
They they have a great place. It's a great venue.
I like the way it's set up now better than it was before.
Yeah. The stages.
Oh, yeah. They they switched. Yeah.
Yeah. But I think, Sean, you have a point.
I think they need to be like raised two feet.
Yeah. Look, here's the thing.
If you're going to if you are going to spend money on tickets.
Yeah. Then I don't think it's appropriate that you have people
standing in front of you. Oh, got you.
On the dance floor.
And you raised areas that back corner, which they call the VIP.
Yeah. You know, it's like the farthest place.
So 80 feet away from from there. But right.
You know, I just think I think it would be better at the stage.
I mean, because look, there's tall ceilings in there.
There's 22 foot ceilings.
Yeah. So that's it's tall.
It's it's tall enough where that stage can go up another two foot.
And I think that two foot would really make a difference.
Yeah, it would really would, you know, just but, you know, I'm afraid,
you know, someone's going to get drunk and fall off the fucking stage.
You never know. Yeah. Right.
I mean, there's always, you know.
Well, and two feet higher keeps crazy people from going on the stage.
Yeah, like that that one lady.
There was a lady in there.
And you know, here's the thing is she she didn't appear to be ugly.
She was an older woman.
She was she I don't know if she was drunk or on.
I don't know what the deal was.
What she is. There's always there's always somebody.
Ruby, I think.
Yeah, there's always somebody that is like
just doing something over the edge.
You know what I mean? I said you guys a picture of her.
I know always somebody doing something.
Yeah, thank you.
And you know, you got to you got to you got to chalk it up to alcohol.
Right. I mean, we all do something stupid when we're when we drink too much.
But anyway, anyway, that was a fun.
That's a fun night.
I don't know. It was kind of crazy. But.
Well, I came home and.
Evidently, I did a lot.
I mean, I came home and I cleaned up the kitchen
because the wife had a little get together that no one showed up to.
And so I cleaned up the vacuum
pack, the the chicken wings and it put all the food away.
Evidently, I played a few games of Apex.
You dusted the living room and vacuumed the.
Well, I didn't do that.
But I went upstairs, I put on my mask, I filled up my reservoir with water.
I did a bunch of shit.
Did you do the dishes or doing a lot of that?
But I do. I woke up.
I woke up the next morning and I was kind of like it was like
it was like it was a normal morning and I was kind of like.
Well, my God, what the fuck happened last night?
Yeah, there was a fire.
How did that all I remember?
Why is there a sealed steak on my chest?
Yeah, that was just funny because I was talking to I was playing.
I got on some of the video game on later and there was a guy that was on there.
I was like, yeah, did you were fucked up the other night,
but you were playing good.
Oh, so you were getting feedback from the people you play with? Yeah.
It's like, yeah, you couldn't talk at all.
That's the way it was the last time you couldn't even speak
when you were when we were driving you home, you're like, yeah.
So bad. I thought we're trying to do better.
That's not a sign of doing better.
I know. I know.
We're digressing.
Well, in here, here's another thing that dudes like us may go through.
I look, I've got a lot of friends that they're kind of like,
I'm not drinking anymore.
I'm an alcoholic.
Good. And I'm like, bitch, you're not an alcoholic.
You're just a dumbass.
Stop drinking so much, you know?
And then I'd stop hanging out with them.
And it's not it's not it's just because, you know, birds of a feather flock
together, sort of spook. Sure.
You know, and if it's just different, it's kind of hard to hang out with someone
if you're going to have drunk and blown up.
They're like, I'm sober. I'm not going to do anything.
Well, that's not fun
because you're going to recognize that I'm an idiot.
You need to be in it with me. Right.
If I were to be a moron, I want you to be a moron too.
You know, I get it.
That moronic.
But it's like I'm I'm I'm it's coming to terms with maybe I am an alcoholic.
You know, being an alcoholic doesn't necessarily mean
you have to drink every single day.
It means that you have a hard time controlling it when you drink.
You need to know when to stop. Right. Right.
And you need to know when to say, all right, I'm done.
And I think sticking with beer when we go to a place like that will help.
And don't get to the point where like we're doing shots.
No, we can't. It always happens, though.
Well, you have four beers and then somebody goes, OK, this night just got on.
We're turning the corner. We're turning over there.
You know, I think a quarter.
I just need to drink club soda and just bring my own mini bottles.
And then add three to each glass.
Doesn't matter. Pack a nine.
No, it kind of does matter.
You know, that's why I drank beer this last time.
I was like, I don't. I only had two beers.
Yeah, that's why I drank five.
That's why I drank five beers, one old fashioned, two shots of bourbon.
So I had. Yeah, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter. Is that right, Jeff?
Yeah, I think five beers at five beers, bubble, buffalo trays and two old fashions.
That's what you had. No, I only had one old fashioned.
We had to have to. I had one. I just had one.
Did you decline one?
No, there was one round of you got one round of old fashion.
I bought four old fashions.
One with one around.
Well, I just bought four.
But then homeboy at the end bought another round for everybody of old fashions.
No, no, no. He bought Buffalo Trace.
I bought a buffalo after the Buffalo Trace.
I bought another round.
I didn't. I don't remember that.
I didn't get that. If I did, I don't remember.
Because I was given one of the old fashions to Larry and Larry was like,
he didn't want it. He declined.
And I gave it to the guy, Sean and his wife, Abby down there.
They they actually they said they never had it before.
They loved it. Yeah.
I might not remember because I was carrying people out of the place,
you know, fire, smoke and the fire.
Yeah, I had three people on my back and I was like, yeah, I was like,
don't worry, I got you.
Wow. Good Lord.
That's why I didn't have that one round.
When I came back, apparently you guys didn't save me one.
No, I didn't have a second old fashion. Yeah.
I probably drank yours.
You probably you were like you probably did.
You were. Oh, yeah. Don't forget.
I was trying. I was trying to be good.
And you go like, oh, good.
And we don't know what word you I ordered like five or six middle lights
when we were out on the pool area, right?
Pool table area. Yeah, you did.
Oh, before we before this was after the fire.
What? Yeah.
You even says like, oh, my God, he's buying more beer.
No, that was Scott that said that.
He's like, I can't drink another beer.
Did I drink one of those? Yeah.
Oh, shit. Wow.
OK, we can't go there anymore.
It's too dangerous.
There's fire. There's too much alcohol.
It's about control.
Yeah, there's really expensive tabs.
Yeah. You know, let's move.
I wonder how much their old fashions are.
If they're fricking fifteen bucks a pop and you're ordering four of them.
Oh, no, no, no. They're forty one dollars a piece.
No, I think they're like nine bucks.
I bet there's no way there's no way they're definitely more than that.
You think? Yeah, but I definitely feel like they're more than that.
Wow. All right. Well, you know, so we have
a news article that was put out there
that the trans women were upset at
and they want Aretha Franklin, who's no longer alive,
her music to be pulled off of all the music platforms that one
that say, say natural woman.
Oh, yes. Yeah. What was the premise of that?
I saw the headline of that. They were offended.
They are offended by natural woman because they know they're not natural.
It goes against what they are.
They're not a woman. They're a dude.
So why? Why?
Why don't they make their own fake woman song?
Well, yeah.
In natural or unnatural, unnatural, unnatural woman, man.
No, no, no, no. They them.
You make me feel like a natural woman.
That's perfect. Is that better?
No, I think you nailed it.
Yeah, you got it. Nailed it.
Yeah. Yeah. Or or men that have periods.
Yeah. Oh, my God.
What is up with that picture that you sent over with a bunch of guys?
Can you not do that?
Guys underwear.
They were wearing no clothes, but bottoms like whitey tighties.
I think some of them were women who had their breasts removed.
And they're in their underwear.
Frankly, I didn't look at it that close.
I, you know, I made the mistake of looking close.
I saw that every single model in that picture, which like what?
Fifteen of them all had red splotches in their.
It's inappropriate.
Totally inappropriate.
Let's just take away the fact that there are fucking stupid
idiots up there that are guys that are pretending like they're women
that have blood spots on the front of them.
Let's just pretend they're women.
It's idiotic and disgusting for a woman to be up there with the same blood.
You're kind of like, yeah, go over there.
I mean, what's next?
You're going to fucking shit your pants in front of everybody
and show the brown stain.
That's the fuck. That's a great point.
I mean, has there has there ever been a marketing campaign of women
in their underwear with blood on their crop?
Oh, my God, let's advertise this new depends and show like you're
on the front, brown in the back. Yes. I don't know.
These days, I can't answer that.
Say no, there hasn't because I who knows.
It's out of control.
It is this this this attempt to to to push that narrative
and to silence and to silence anybody against it.
Did you see the Mark Hamill?
Oh, go on.
I don't know what this is.
He supported J.K. Rowling, right?
Well, all he did was like a tweet. Oh, yes.
So there was a trans trans woman.
So it's a guy now a woman that said, I'm more I'm more of a woman
than Rawlings is. Right.
And so Rawlings responded, please cite citations, please.
I did see that. Yeah.
Citations, please. Very clever.
Like like where you show, you know, basically cite your evidence
that you're more of a woman than I am.
Right. And Mark Hamill simply liked it.
That's it. He just liked it because I think he probably thought it was funny.
Right. Or maybe he obviously he respects her as an author.
I mean, she's a brilliant author.
She wrote Frickin the Harry Potter series, which is brilliantly written. Right.
Anyway, so he likes it.
And they they savagely attacked him.
Yeah. Did he apologize?
Oh, I'm aware of and I hope he doesn't.
I hope he doesn't. I would just ignore it.
Yeah. They'll eventually go away.
Yeah, this cancel thing is just just raging.
Yeah. Raging out of control.
Did I send you the video of the guy who wants to go to the all women's gym?
No. And they would let him.
Yeah, I saw that. Yeah.
And they and they they said and he went once
and the manager says, I think you'd be better if you went to our coed gym.
Yeah, why not? And they made a big story about it.
Because there was a bulge that the women want to do.
It was a big dude with long hair.
He went by Kylie or something like that.
I don't understand. My name is Barbara.
I get to be here anytime I want.
And he sounded like that.
He goes, you know, I work out, I stretch.
Can't be at least have a high pitch feminine voice lunge.
That's crazy. That's crazy.
Yeah, I don't get it. I don't get it.
I never will get it.
You know, it's just the fact that they want to remove her
the music off of Spotify.
They're contesting it.
They're beating it up and I'm like, man, shut the front door.
Who is the music?
But Aretha Franklin, a natural woman.
And there's another one woman.
Helen Reddy, is she saying that?
I have woman here. Yeah.
You know, how about it's raining men?
What about the women?
Oh, wow. What about the women that have transitioned to men?
What about man eater by Hall and Oates? Oh, it eater.
It eater. Well, I mean, what do you change it to?
I know they them eater give it time.
They're going to go through all of all of those.
So here's here's part of the problem.
But before you say that, yes, sir.
California has already passed legislation that says you're not
allowed to address people as he, she or her and them.
But you're not allowed. You're not allowed to.
It's just you get a citation if I say he he went to the bathroom.
That's a violation.
Oh, you're saying if you miss this, you miss.
Miss. Well, no, miss appropriate.
Some of them miss misgender.
Yeah. You know, these pronouns in describing someone like.
What are you supposed to do? Hey, you.
Oh, well, it's a crime in the UK as well.
Well, that's a kidding me.
Even online and online, if you misgender, it's not even that.
It's there's a word. It's not mispronoun appropriate.
It's misgender.
So they just so you don't misgendering someone.
OK, all right. Mischievous.
All right. So, yeah.
And there are people that have been charged like thousands of people
with a crime for misgendering online.
Thousands of people online.
And that's why Jordan Peterson started his thing because Canada
passed the law who was going to force him to say that.
So that's where he threw his arms and gets like,
you can't tell me what to say.
Right. You can't tell me what pronoun to use.
Yes. Well, I know it's incorrect.
You cannot tell me what to say.
And that's how he really got his start in what he's doing these days.
Well, there was a teacher there was a teacher that was getting
torched for this as well.
And that teacher said that they he refused to use pronouns that he didn't agree with.
So they settled the dispute.
I don't think in court, but they settled the dispute.
He said, I will I will address you by name.
And then that's it.
I will not call you he, she, they, them.
But I will call you by your by your name, birth name or birth name.
Carol. I don't know.
Well, that's a great, great question.
Oh, well, no, I guess whatever name you want to be.
If you legally change your name, that's fine.
You're now. Yeah, I guess so.
I guess so. Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know. Yeah.
Ben Shapiro made a good point.
He was talking about, you know, well, can you all of a sudden, can you be 60?
That's yeah. Yeah.
I mean, I mean, what if you're what if you get the senior citizen discount?
Yeah. What if you're 17 and you identify as a 21?
So look, I identify as 21 so I can go buy beer.
There you go.
Oh, they're not going to.
They're not going to. And if you're 67 and you identify as a 19 year old,
you can't drink.
True. Yeah, you can't buy alcohol.
You identify as a 19 year old. I'm sorry.
Well, it's just like that 14 year old gets pulled over by the cop
because he's driving. I think I'm 16.
There you go.
Here, look, look, look.
It opens up so many opportunities for everyone.
But how do they argue against that when you say that?
I'm sorry. What argument do they have?
Yeah, I'm sorry. I mean, as far as the age goes, there's there's none.
But but you're not you're not 18.
Well, what if I'm drunk and I say I identify as sober?
Well, that's why this whole thing is you see that you see them
like, you know, identify as a cat.
It's crazy. He diagnosed them.
That's what that's what Tony Dungy got in trouble for. Right.
Oh, for for criticizing.
Well, well, no, he he put out some ended up not being true, but he he.
Again, Twitter, just stay off of Twitter.
Yeah, he tweeted that these schools are putting litter boxes in bathrooms
because the kids think they're cats, furries, and they pounced his ass.
And he deleted it.
And apparently it's not true.
But now he's he's gone to the March of Life or the pro life.
Right.
Thing. And they're all jumping over his ass.
They want him to get fired.
It's so dumb.
They want him gone.
And they can't believe that NBC is allowing him on TV.
So OK, so here's this is the earlier point I was going to make.
I think we're putting way too much we're giving too much credibility
to to social media.
All of this criticism, the criticism against J.K.
Rawlings, the criticism against Mark Hamill, the criticism against the Tony.
What was his name? The coach Tony Dungy, Tony Dungy.
It's all it's all.
It's all Twitter responses.
It's a very small percentage.
It's all Twitter responses.
Instagram, I am, you know, whatever the terminology is.
But it's all it's it's it's all it's all stupid.
Yeah. Way to silence your phone.
It sounds the phone there.
So we we've talked about this before, where even news articles now.
It's just all tweets.
Yeah, they don't they don't even like go interview anybody.
No, there's nobody to interview.
There's no sources.
They simply say this person said this and oh, my God, look at the response
from all these idiots in Twitter. Right.
And they give them credibility. That's my point.
We're giving people way too much of a platform.
I think it's I think it's laziness on the press's part.
Or they don't have to work.
They could sit there at their computer and write news articles.
They don't have to go investigate.
They don't have to interview. They don't do anything.
Yeah, they don't.
Well, yeah, they don't have to verify any sources or anything.
They don't have to say journalism.
Journalism, for the most part, is dead.
And my sister was a journalism major and she's actually she said that for a while.
She's like, she's like, there are no journalists out there anymore. Right.
I mean, the way I was taught when you're quoting your sources
as angry, trans transgender people in Twitter. Correct.
It's over. Right.
And, you know, we'll see if Tony Dungey is around next year
because the season's over. Right. Right.
For him anyway. So we'll be we'll see if I don't know.
Is there a game on NBC?
One of the playoff games? It doesn't matter.
But we'll see if he's around next year. They better not.
I think there's I think there's a little bit of a trend of fighting back.
Like people aren't just automatically being canceled and fired.
Well, I mean, I think there's a little bit of a tennis.
I think we peaked commentator about the Guerrilla Warfare.
You know, it was a while ago. That was early.
Yeah, but still, I mean, it's it's all the same the same category.
I still can't believe that got into that tennis tennis commentator.
He probably felt bad.
He probably agreed with them and went, Yeah, I was I was wrong.
I what I meant, but yeah, it's wrong. Right.
So I was going to ask you guys how you felt about.
All right. So in Dubai, in the UAE, right. United Arab Emirates,
Arab Emirates, a brand new luxury Uber,
Uber luxury hotel for the for the wealthiest opened up Grand Grand Opening.
It was called Atlantis, the Royal.
Oh, yes. Maybe Atlantis, the Royal is the Royal. Yes.
All right. So they had a blowout where they invited
all the who's who Atlantis, the Royal Dubai blocks.
And so they had a massive blowout
grand opening. So they invited Beyonce.
They once. Yes. Yep. They once and her daughter.
They paid her pay twice 20, 24 million dollars.
Twenty four million. Yeah.
Twenty four million dollars to perform for an hour.
With her daughter. What?
Twenty four million dollars to perform. Send me up for that.
Why not do it?
And so she did.
And then remember, Dubai is taking a lot of heat for, you know,
they just hosted the.
No, that was Qatar. Qatar.
OK, along the same lines.
So a lot of these Middle Eastern countries are
staunchly anti gay because it's part of the, you know.
Well, it is. It's part of the part of the religion.
Yeah, Islam is strictly anti gay.
And if you want to perform over there, I'm fine with that.
Just don't complain about it. Right.
So there are a lot of the same thing.
Twitter attacking her because, you know, that's very insensitive
for her to perform, perform over there and make 24 million.
Every one of those people would have done the same damn thing.
If they were going to say, hey, I'll give you 24 million dollars
come over here and sing for an hour. Right.
And then you got Rebel Wilson. Right.
Right. Is that her name?
She's a comedian. She was.
Yeah, she's a comedian.
She was overweight. Remember, she lost a lot of weight.
Yeah, she did. Well, she just came out as gay.
She came out as gay and she was at the grand opening,
strolling through the lobby, holding hands with her
female partner.
And everybody's like, hmm, there are people incarcerated
in that country for being gay. Right.
And you're just allowed to walk through the hotel.
Holding hands with your gay partner.
Well, when you have money, you can do whatever you want.
I have to say that that hotel's kind of stupid looking.
I've been to the one in the Bahamas. Yeah.
It's unique. I look unique, but it looks it's extremely precarious.
It does. Looks like containers.
Oh, it's going to collapse. No question about it.
I like the one in the Bahamas looks better.
I'm sure this is very luxurious.
It is. It looks like a bunch of bricks.
Yeah, it looks like containers.
Gigantic. Yes.
Shipping containers sitting on top of each other.
The one in the Bahamas, this one down here is what I want to.
It's nice.
Yeah, that one. Oh, you went to that one?
Well, not that's the one in that.
That's the one in Dubai. That's the palm.
But the one in the Bahamas looks very similar to that.
It just doesn't have the big Arabic little symbol in the middle.
Oh, OK. The little temple. Yeah, whatever the temple top or whatever.
The spade.
So so they were saying the people that were there,
they were talking about how how amazing that
you know, it was like people walking through the lobby were like
Jay-Z was sitting at the bar and this person was over here.
I mean, it was just loaded with and I'm sure they were all paid to be there.
Right. As part of the grand opening, everybody was probably paid with goody bags.
And oh, yeah, I'm sure they were.
You know how the the Oscars are that way, right?
They get like a hundred thousand dollars worth of goody bag.
Oh, yeah, they do stuff.
You know, ridiculous.
And they and that area is just
extremely wealthy.
Oh, yeah. It's a tiny country with tons of oil revenue.
Right. This is the place who's building the the city.
Sean wants to live in the 600 foot wide city by 37 miles.
I haven't heard anything about that in a long time.
I don't necessarily. Are they still building that?
Yeah, they are. Yeah, they are.
So you're still going to move there, Sean?
I never said that.
I just said I'm not against it.
I mean, that's what I know.
I think it's called the Dome and they've got other things
as part of that. That is just one of the things they're they're working on.
And I think what it does is it cultivates a frame of mind.
Or interrupt y'all.
But it's got a notification that it's currently snowing outside.
Oh, it's snowing in Frisco, Texas. Blizzard.
Yeah. Wow. Echo.
So we may be we may be trapped here for weeks.
You have to sustain.
I've got we got popcorn.
Yeah. Really? Do we have a place for us to sleep?
It's poor. OK.
I've got three beds.
That's literally all you had to say was pulled pork.
Really, it's snowing outside.
I'm going to confirm this.
I have according to my temperature at nine o'clock was supposed to drop down
to 31 degrees.
So, you know, but it goes right back up at 11 to 30.
Right now it's thirty four and it can snow when it's thirty four.
It just won't stick.
Oh, it's real. It'll be real slushy.
Yeah. Mr. Producer, pull up the gnome.
I think it's N.O.A.M.
Is what they call it.
You know, that's the first time you've ever broken into podcast with breaking news.
Breaking news. Yeah.
You should do that more.
It's Austin, the producer with the ticker ticker on the Frisco
temperature and weather.
No, it's not.
I hate to interrupt this regular programming.
It is snowing in Frisco, Texas.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
How's my was I good? Yeah, that's nice.
My my emergency news bulletin.
Yeah, yeah. Yes.
So no, no, a.m.
Yeah. No, I don't know what we're looking at here.
Like a gnome.
No, it's a it's a company, I think.
It's called.
I think we'll look up the wall city.
I think it's called.
Maybe you'll find it that way.
All right. So why are you looking that up?
So the premise of this is it's in a very inhospitable
desert climate and it's supposed to be, you know,
where it's self sustained.
It's like super low and no carbon footprint.
It's got luxurious greenery inside and it's like a wonderful
blah, blah, blah. So the desert.
Yeah. So it's making inhospitable land
into a wonderful apartment.
And it's it's the idea.
And Sean's going to move there.
Well, I mean, it's just the idea is is
it's reputable. I think it is.
I think it's something that, you know, people should get
a concept of being able to do something like that.
Let's just think of outside the box for a second.
OK, if we wanted to populate like Mars or something like that,
they're going to be forced to live in structures like this.
Well, sure. So that that's kind of what I believe
the concept is, is that they're trying to figure out a way
to do a self sustained
city. You know, you know what it makes me think of is a like
a floating space colony.
You know, those movies where they have like,
yeah, they're literally in space like Cloud City with.
Yeah, exactly. From Star Wars.
Yeah, it's like a, you know,
it's a gigantic space station, but it's got like,
like the stars and people, not the Death Star.
That's more like a weapon to kill people.
Oh, well, it's a big floating planet, you know.
Now witness to the destruction of its N.E.O.M.
Did they have any greenery on the Death Star?
I don't remember any when they were, you know, running through
being chased by stormtroopers, stormtroopers, were there atriums?
I don't recall any greenery, but I don't either.
They're building. They're building.
It didn't look very hospitable or they want to build all of these
Oxygon
different things.
Oh, Lord, I think I think these communities have merit.
I really do. I think that, you know,
everything is quantified in the future of you have.
You have a controlled population, right?
That has a controlled amount of schools and classes and jobs
and supermarkets and I think it's very
when you when you think of movies from the future, right?
Like Logan's Run or whatever.
Those type of things, right?
Where every every part of your or like escape escape from New York,
escape from New York, every part of your your life is that
it is controlled. Yeah, like soaring green.
I mean, it could turn deathly, meaning, you know, if you are.
Encountering a deadly disease or something like that.
I plan to be or I think just like a covid or something like that.
You talk about being attacked.
Yeah, you can get attacked as well.
Just like by Thai fighters.
Yeah, like Thai fighters reacting.
I'm like I'm like rolling out one horrible futuristic movie after another.
You got to like green. Yeah, you guys are like, yeah, OK.
Planet of the Apes, toilet green escape from New York.
I'm like throwing out all these horrible, non utopian examples.
And you guys didn't even react. The Hunger Games.
Hunger Games. Yeah.
That's what Dubai's building is Hunger Games.
The Hunger Games.
Well, I mean, it could be a way to
to set up some sort of quarantine programs where, you know, hey, look,
we're instead of instead of
sending you to prison, we're going to we're going to send you to Dubai,
to this, to the octagon, and you're going to live there for the next 10 years.
And it's not a penal colony.
Well, I mean, it could be a form of.
It's supposed to be the exact opposite.
Supposed to be utopia.
That's what escape from New York turned into.
They walled in New York City.
Well, they walled it in.
But I'm saying there will be structure as far as,
you know, I'm assuming some sort of a sort of structure in there for policing.
And well, have you seen the Palm in Dubai?
No, that's where they that's where they created.
I haven't been there lately.
Well, the poem has been there for a decade.
Oh, is that the thing where they they they draw up sand?
They dredge, they dredge and they built the land.
And it's the shape of a actually there's two of them.
I think one was like the world.
Oh, yeah. So you could buy a continent as an island.
And then they have the palm where it looks like a palm tree and they have houses.
So nice.
So it's been there for 10 years. And what?
That's it's there. I mean, they don't.
OK, I'm saying is something bad happened.
No, I mean, it's there.
And what I'm saying is it costs a shit ton of money, but they did it.
So China doubt they could do this is coincidentally doing stuff like this.
Similarly. So what they have in China.
So to create a a border, because I guess
it's 100 miles off the coast of something that they technically own
or something like that, there's some sort of area in territory.
Yeah. This is South South China Sea.
So what they're building, they're doing is they're building these islands.
Military and well, I mean, not just military bases, but they're building islands.
And they're saying, all right, well, here's an island
right by that 100 mile marker. Right.
And guess what? We're going to push out another 100 miles.
And so they build it, they start filling it in.
And then they just they keep doing it.
And they're just like, they're just expanding their territory by.
Yeah. And they're artificially creating land.
But what it's doing is it's it's interrupting
some of the the transportation, the transportation of goods.
And it's a mass disrupting our commerce.
Yes, that's a massive transit area.
Yeah. So, yeah, sorry, you can't put your boats through this pathway
anywhere because now you're in international waters.
U.S. Navy floats through there all the time.
Oh, they're in shit. And China can't stand it.
Right. We do.
We patrol international, like major maritime trading routes.
The U.S. keeps open and we float through there all the time.
And they get pissed.
But that's exactly what they're trying to do.
China's a man. Well, you know, they've got
what's kind of clever, though, to build their to artificially create land.
I mean, it is to push their boundary.
It seemed like they need some sort of declaration, though.
You just can't sit there and dredge up something from the middle of the sea.
Well, yeah, this is what we're doing.
You also have to look at the actual international law.
Is it from the mainland or is it from little one little sprouted island?
All right. Now I get to go out 100 miles more.
Well, no, it's it's it's from the mainland.
So if you if you're at the mainland and you have an island out there,
then you now you you can go out 100 more.
That's what I mean. I mean, I don't know if it resets
because you all of a sudden you have an island.
No, no, no. Internationally, no one's buying it.
No one's. I mean, I don't know.
But that's what they're proposing. Yeah.
China is buying it.
They're making no one else is buying kind of like like Nova Scotia.
They were how they have a bunch of scattered islands, you know, and. Right.
And I can go off the coast now.
Well, I mean, they make for pretty like visiting places, but I don't.
How long can I mean, where do they do they go really to the bottom of the ocean
and they dredge up all this sand? Yeah.
So they leave an empty valley.
I heard they import it from Dubai.
You know, but I know it's it's it's an erosion thing, too,
because there's going to be currents.
There's not an island there for a reason, right?
Because there's currents and all kinds of shit.
So you're going to constantly have to backfill that thing.
Or or you build a big retaining wall or something's going to happen where,
you know, you change the dynamics of how the ocean runs in one certain direction.
Yeah, you could. If it was like in a major
it could alter the the the rotation of our core of the earth.
Oh, yeah. That just happened, right?
You know, they should do what they do in Wisconsin.
So in the lakes in Wisconsin, when it freezes,
when the people want to create a beach, when they have lakefront property
and they want to create a beach, you know what they do?
Have we talked about this before? No.
So the lake freezes like crazy freezes and a dump truck drives out onto the frozen lake,
pulls up to the shoreline, dumps all the sand on top of the ice.
So when it melts and then when it melts,
it falls down and creates a little shoreline for them.
So China should just freeze all the water along the Pacific.
What they they they bring it out to the middle of the lake or
to the edge, but they do drive out onto the ice, back up to the shoreline,
dump all the sand onto the ice, like a big mound of sand on top of the ice.
And then when the ice does eventually melt, when it gets warmer,
it falls down and boom, you have a little sandbar.
Isn't that crazy? Yeah, it is.
I wonder if everyone did that.
The lake would just shrink. It'd be no more lake.
I don't think so.
And the water level keep rising, though.
Well, the water is constantly moving inwards, isn't it?
Isn't it magically disappearing into Niagara Falls anyways?
What is what that Lake Erie?
Well, I mean, all those lakes up there, aren't they like systematically
connected somehow? Well, they're all connected with the Great Lakes.
Yeah. So where does the water go once it goes down into the Niagara Falls?
To the Mississippi, right?
And then where does it go to the Gulf?
So how does it get to the Great Lakes?
So it's drained from the northern part of the river Hudson Bay.
Oh, so you're saying that the northeast corner of the United States
sends the water up to the Niagara Falls and then the Niagara Falls
dumps down into the Mississippi, goes down to the south, and then it just
no, no, no, no.
It's a great place or fed by probably northern Canada.
Yeah, it's like Hudson Bay.
Pull up a map of the Great Lakes.
So do we think that the ice is melting constantly?
Keeping this this water coming to us?
No, it's been that way for thousands and thousands of years now.
But where is the water coming from? Where is it going?
No, Canada. So it's coming from northern Canada.
So there's like this endless body,
endless flow of water coming from Canada. Sure.
Yeah, they have a big spring.
You know, see, there's a little little river there.
And I was wrong about the Mississippi, but yeah, way to go.
Where does it go?
So does Niagara Falls is it doesn't have to go anywhere?
Niagara Falls go into an aquifer under the ground.
So hold on. This is a great question, though.
Niagara Falls is is dumps from where?
Lake Ontario. Look, Ontario. OK.
You see the river? Yeah, I see that.
And it's all connected.
Oh, yeah, they're all connected.
All right. So Lake Ontario is where Niagara Falls is.
That's right. No. Yes. OK. Right there. Yes. OK.
And so that low that there's a big ass river going far north.
Fast, Quebec. I mean, so there we go.
That's fed right there.
And there's another river. Interesting.
Was it the Hudson River?
Well, I'm just kind of how many of us could name without.
I know we're staring at it right now,
but how many people could name all five great lakes?
I could. I grew up there. Oh, yeah.
OK. Look at me. I'm a big fan.
I know all five lakes.
What's the what's the what's the lake
that's most likely to not be remembered?
Remembered? I think Lake Huron.
Yeah, I think Lake Ohio.
There's still like like Yuri.
I think Lake Cincinnati.
I think Lake Huron or Lake Ontario, maybe.
How about the Lake Michigan?
How about the lake? I'm on you had to like you're on.
Like, I'm on. Oh, the lake. I'm on.
So what's the like he's he's on.
So in Lake is it Lake Superior that had show them again.
Lake Superior Lake Huron is Lake Michigan, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
Is Lake Superior the one where the boat sank?
Oh, in that the song they wrote us, they Gordon Lightfoot.
It's a Gordon Lightfoot. Yeah.
I wrote the song the mayor or the mayor of Chicago.
I know he was. Oh.
Oh, gosh.
Now you got me thinking, what's that song?
That's a catchy tune.
God, our tens of thousands of listeners are all Gordon.
Is the it's a boat.
It's about a short and big ass boat that sank.
The the the some wreck of Edmund Fitzgerald,
Edmund Fitzgerald.
That's a great song, by the way. Yeah.
I've never heard of it. Yes, you have.
Oh, you've heard the song. You've heard that.
Oh, 100 percent heard the song. Play it.
Yeah, very folksy. Oh, yeah.
And seriously.
No, you have definitely heard it.
Are we going to be able to hear it?
I don't know.
We think of the chair roll.
Oh, we have a new laptop.
Oh, that's right.
Oh, my God. It's on. It's on.
Oh, my God. Jeff. Gosh.
It's like I'm at the concert all again.
Watch out with the fire. Yeah.
Is this Metallica?
All right. I've heard this.
Of course you have. Yeah.
It's a great song.
This song is about our ship that sank.
Yes. It's a six minute, 39 second song.
Yeah, it's about this boat that sank and killed.
I don't know how many folks
will turn up a little bit.
It had twenty six thousand tons of ore, iron ore.
So it killed a bunch of people in there.
Well, they drowned. Yeah, they drowned.
So you're a big boat like that.
I mean, it's a it's a
a cargo boat, though, right?
Yeah. Well, here's the thing.
Most people don't know this, but the Great Lakes
are big enough to have their own their own climate,
meaning they have the same type of swells
that you would have in an ocean.
Yeah. Yeah.
Gigantic, gigantic waves.
And it's yeah.
I mean, so ships, a ton of ships have sunk in the Great Lakes.
Just like they have in the ocean.
Gordon Lightfoot knows.
They are.
Can we cut away listening?
Yeah, just because we can.
Yeah, so I think I was going to put this to his listening list.
Yeah, you should. It's a great song.
Have you ever heard it, Mr. Producer?
Yeah, you can kill it.
Yeah, so that's still at the bottom of the bottom of the lake.
I thought you were going to do the
well, the Gilligan's Island song or something.
No, that was a funny
meme about Gilligan's Island where they had a bunch of woke people on there.
I wish I could remember what the hell it was. It was funny.
They were making fun of Gilligan's Island.
Well, they were making they were they plugged in characters
that weren't the guys from Gilligan's Island, like they would have Joe Biden
there. It was turned out to be Epstein's Island.
It was kind of funny.
So you know what? How much time we have?
So, you know what?
The talking about Epstein Island
in some correlations with some stuff going on.
So there was the attorney general for the Virgin Islands,
I believe the attorney general for Virgin Islands.
Yeah, she was open
opening up a lawsuit or something towards JP Morgan
because she was kind of like, hey, look, man,
you guys were in charge of Epstein's bank
and he had money coming in from everywhere, unchecked,
and nobody asked him anything about this money coming in.
And all of a sudden, Joe Biden flies down to the Virgin Islands
and diffuses everything.
And that attorney general either got fired or quit.
Got fired. You got fired. Yeah. Yeah.
So, yeah, she wanted to go after JP Morgan for revenue,
for revenue for the island that was unclaimed or undisclosed
from Epstein during the Epstein years that went that flowed through JP Morgan.
Correct. Something to that effect.
And you're right. He makes it.
He did fly down there.
He knows over Christmas.
Yeah, he flew down there for vacation.
Yeah, for whatever. And then all of a sudden this happens.
That story went away.
She got fired and the lawsuit got dropped.
Yeah. Well, I think the lawyer who pulled the lawsuit,
there are two people that got fired within like a few days. Wow.
That they were that were related to this.
And there's something fishy.
And I read that Elaine Maxwell is talking.
Yeah, she gave a couple.
She gave her her first prison interview.
I don't know what she said.
She said, you know, no, she did.
She said that she believed Epstein was murdered.
I did read that. Yes.
She believed that he was murdered.
And that picture, that very damning picture with Prince Andrew,
with that 17 year old girl. Correct.
Who who sued Giuliani and said, yeah, sorry, maybe it wasn't.
It wasn't Julia. Yeah. No, no, no.
It was Mark. No, it was another lawyer.
I'm pretty sure she dropped it.
She says, yeah, she dropped it because I was like, oh, maybe it wasn't him.
It wasn't Giuliani. It wasn't Giuliani. No. OK. No. OK.
Anyway, so this girl's credibility is being called into question.
And Maxwell said that picture is a fake.
That never happened.
Blah, blah, blah.
And then very shortly thereafter, and I don't I think it was unrelated
to her coming out and saying this.
Prince Andrew finally said he finally came out with a lawsuit
against that girl and said, it's time to clear my name.
I've stayed quiet about this for too long.
I've taken too much heat from the royal family.
It's time to clear my name.
And so he has filed a lawsuit.
He's raised 12 million dollars to sue her. Right. Right.
You know, it doesn't matter. Very interesting.
It's it's interesting that what is.
It's a it happens.
They have these these pieces of shit, people that women
that will try to get money.
Yeah. You know, it's clouding up, you know.
But there's other stuff going on. There's like it's sad.
There's because you don't know who has the person that was in charge
or the person in charge of procuring some of the models for Balenciaga.
Polanda, Ronda, some I go help me here.
Balenciaga, the oh, you're talking about that advertising campaign,
the one that had the child porn thing on there.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
The pedophile stuff. I got you.
So she was getting the models.
Incidentally, she was found on the manifest.
The same cheap. That's her job to get models. Right. OK.
She was on the manifest for Epstein's.
Oh, good Lord. So I'm connecting the dots between Balenciaga.
Is that how you pronounce it? Yeah.
You you know how to say it, Jeff.
What's the name of that advertising agency? Balenciaga. Balenciaga.
Yeah. OK. You said it.
Right. So it's just it's just, you know, connecting the dots there.
I mean, she was the one procuring the models. Right.
Models were used to Epstein's Island.
Super shady. And she was on the manifest.
And there was no question that Epstein was was was sexual trafficking,
sex trafficking. I mean, no question that that was never disputed. Right.
I mean, we have tons of evidence for that.
So anything anything attached to him?
I'm sorry. Has a has a is tainted.
Yeah, there and it's almost like a almost
unfortunately, almost like a guilty until proven innocent.
If you if you are attached to Epstein in any way regarding that island,
I'm not saying if you were at a cocktail party
or you're at some grand opening extravaganza.
There are a lot of people that were at that island.
You look at that list that the known people, just the known people.
There are a lot of movie stars out there, tons crazy.
And there are some that are already suspect that already in the news
that were the gentleman
that was laying on top of the 15 year old boy.
I never can remember his fucking name.
Oh, you're talking about House of Cards.
Yeah, that guy. What's his name? Kevin Spacey. Thank you.
You never remember Johnny on the spot with all the actors names.
So but I mean, it's just like things like that starts like that, you know,
and it's just it's how he's facing.
He battled in one against a number of cases.
And now he's facing a whole bunch more. How like
it's how he's more against theirs.
And it's kind of hard to prove it when, you know, how are you going to prove it?
Yeah. How are you going to prove it?
How are you going to disprove it?
I mean, prove that I did put my peepee in you. Yeah.
But have you seen the the comedy sketch
by Sarah Silverman where she is?
It's disgusting.
We'll have to try to find it during halftime.
She going after Kevin Spacey.
No, she it's a comedy skit where she's making fun of having sex with kids.
Oh, great. Like blatant.
That's wonderful.
Like the kids like she kidnapped this kid in the back of a van.
And she's like, yeah, I'm a silver man.
I have to use the restroom.
She could. Can you do it my mouth?
And she's like, she catches herself in.
Oh, she's like, oh, my God, what did I just say?
Well, how's that any different than Bill Cosby with the Spanish fly on the corner?
I don't know. That that was a little different.
I know that was comedy and that was it's just that was underage.
Pedophilia was it, though?
Who? Bill Cosby.
I don't think I was. I don't think it was pedophilia.
Those actresses, women.
Yeah, that was just played out rape.
But you know, the buzz going on and the thing that they're pushing
on some of the social media platforms now, I got off a tick tock.
But, you know, I'm on I'm on Instagram a lot and I watch a lot of those videos
and there's the same whatever.
My point is, well, I feel like Instagram is fact checked more than tick tock.
Well, at least it's not China.
Well, whatever.
But the fact is that they are these videos are coming out
and they're all about the the Masonic.
Influence that's happening in the the the upper society,
the upper social platforms with the the the heavy hitters of the planet.
You know, the Davos Beyonce and the World Economic Forum.
Yeah. And they've got these.
You see, they have they always have these,
you know, the little triangles with the hand and the eye.
The they put the hands, the two fingers up and the two fingers down.
And then the the the symbols where you put your point finger
and thumb together and you make an OK sign.
It's racist. They say, you know, white supremacy, white power.
Well, I mean, what they're saying is that all the things I just talked about
all deal with the devil.
And you can say that that you can say a blanket statement.
The reason why the world's falling apart is because of the devil.
Well, I could I could attribute their say thousand things to that.
Like LeBron, when he does his pregame
prayers, whatever the fuck he does, he does a series of gestures
and they're all related to Masonic, not the Masons,
but just devil worshiping.
Is it Messianic? Are you saying there's a word?
Like the Masons, right?
No, it's not Mason related. It's devil related.
The what's the I know where you're going with that word.
I don't think that's the right word there. What's the word?
He's it's not Messianic.
Producer. Devil is related. Was that Masonic?
Masonic. Masonic.
Masonic. I think Mason. Mason is what.
Yeah, it's not a free Mason thing, though.
It's it has to do with satanic satanic culture.
The devil put Masonic on there.
Just play. Well, OK.
So you're saying, hold on.
So they're saying that LeBron, LeBron, Jamie's, LeBron,
LeBron, Jamez. Yeah, LeBron.
He's doing something in his pregame that is can be.
Yeah, that's that's true.
And he's being viewed as devil.
Put devil after Masonic or before whatever.
Oh, this is painful.
It's going to be weird.
Oh, it's going to be from Satan to the sea.
See right there, the Masonic mysteries.
Oh, put on the pretty LeBron James.
But anyways, the thing is, is that he does a series of gestures.
And it's and they're all tied in.
It's the same thing.
You know, the two fingers up, two fingers down.
He does triangle.
He does. And it's it's just it's just this thing.
It's a video that they put on Instagram, you know, and it's not just him.
I mean, they've got Beyonce and her husband.
And what is his name? Jay-Z, Jay-Z.
And there's just a bunch of these stars that are doing it.
Is it a coincidence? I don't know.
You know, but well, two fingers up and two fingers down.
Opposite hands is actually pretty unique.
It is. But all that's pretty that's pretty like, like somebody.
If I see somebody doing that, I'm like, that's not a coincidence.
It's it is it is unique.
It is unique, but it's also the fact that they did them all
in a series one after another. Right. Before the game.
You know, yeah, that's kind of shady.
So I don't know what that is.
I don't know what it is either.
And it's just, you know, I don't even know if I believe it.
It's just the fact that it's out there.
I see him doing it. It's not modified.
And they have some guy suggesting what it is.
And then they say, well, you know what?
Here's a symbol of what that is.
And they have people in a cult doing the same thing that they're doing.
So I'm like, well, I don't know.
Because you write and you like, is that for real?
Is that is this the George Soros stuff?
Is this the I mean, I don't know.
I mean, there's so many unknowns.
I think what you just tied together is LeBron James may be the devil.
LeBron James is a piece of shit racist as fuck.
It is. But hey, have you I mean, I know we're wrapping up this first
around here, but we need to talk about the Shannon Sharp thing.
You got to hear about that.
The Grizzlies game.
Ridiculous.
I want I want to make sure we cover that.
Shannon Sharp, the tight end.
Yes, he's a fan in the in the front row.
And he's talking trash to the Grizzlies guard
about in the Lakers game because he's like, you're too short to guard LeBron James.
And so he talks back to Sharp and in sharp gets all he you know,
he gets all angry and in the halftime, they're walking to the locker room.
He steps out onto the court to approach the Grizzlies players.
He's a fan, by the way.
I don't care if he's Shannon Sharp or not.
The dad for the player comes out of the stands.
The other players confront him.
It gets into this separation thing and he gets he gets escorted from his seat.
But then he immediately comes back in the second half because he's LeBron.
I mean, because he's Shannon Sharp.
Whatever. Oh, fuck him.
Oh, it's ridiculous.
It's like the dude should have been bitch slapped.
Dudes like us January 24th.
It's fucking cold outside right now.
It is raining snowing, whatever the fuck it is.
Why is it snowing?
We're coming back with a new bourbon.
New bourbon.
Well, no, no, no, no.
A used used bourbon, a recycled bourbon.
It's a good one, though.
Dudes like us. I'm Sean. I'm Paul.
And I'm Jeff. Producer, Mr. Austin.
