WEBVTT

00:00:33.789 --> 00:00:35.549
Hey, Chris, how you doing? Good. How you doing,

00:00:35.630 --> 00:00:40.570
John? I'm going to be okay. It has been quite

00:00:40.570 --> 00:00:42.469
a day, but we'll get to that in a second. Yeah.

00:00:43.229 --> 00:00:45.950
We got a few different beers tonight. We have

00:00:45.950 --> 00:00:48.729
a plethora of piñatas. A plethora of piñatas.

00:00:49.409 --> 00:00:53.670
So we're going to start with, in memory of Jason.

00:00:53.810 --> 00:00:57.250
Special show beer. Special show beer in memory

00:00:57.250 --> 00:00:59.869
of Jason being on the show. Okay. He hasn't died.

00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:05.219
No, he hasn't. Too much. He hasn't. Ay, ay, ay.

00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:08.819
He left us two more beers from his motherland.

00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:12.780
Oh. Fatherland? Motherland. I don't know. Yeah.

00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:16.659
Whatever you are, Michigan. They're from Founders.

00:01:16.700 --> 00:01:20.670
Oh. This is the CBS. Oh, I've not had this one.

00:01:20.849 --> 00:01:24.170
Yeah, I definitely have not. It is an imperial

00:01:24.170 --> 00:01:28.349
stout brewed with chocolate and coffee aged in

00:01:28.349 --> 00:01:32.090
bourbon barrels. We have a theme. Yeah, we do.

00:01:32.349 --> 00:01:35.870
With maple syrup. Oh, maple syrup. Just in case

00:01:35.870 --> 00:01:39.469
it wasn't thick enough. And this thing is 11

00:01:39.469 --> 00:01:46.390
.7%. I see that. Wow. Feeling good. CBS. And

00:01:46.390 --> 00:01:49.980
then we have another 11 point. Yeah, we do. The

00:01:49.980 --> 00:01:52.659
Dragon's Milk Reserve. Reserve. Coffee chocolate.

00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:54.719
Which is another coffee chocolate. There's a

00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:58.439
theme going on there. I love it says Madcap Coffee.

00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:02.939
Yeah. And then if we're feeling dangerous. We

00:02:02.939 --> 00:02:06.939
can try the. We have. Third beer. The third beer.

00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:11.780
Delirium Nocturnum. That feels really. It's Belgian.

00:02:11.979 --> 00:02:16.860
Yeah. It's. Family Brewed and what was the...

00:02:16.860 --> 00:02:19.699
Is it like a triple or a quad? It's eight and

00:02:19.699 --> 00:02:23.900
a half. It's a lightweight. Oh. Eight and a half.

00:02:24.099 --> 00:02:27.400
It does not say on the bottle. Okay. So we're

00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:29.080
just kind of flying blind on that one because

00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:32.819
it's not even a clear... You can't even see the

00:02:32.819 --> 00:02:35.740
beer inside of that bottle. No, I... Y 'all check

00:02:35.740 --> 00:02:38.580
out this bottle in the artwork. We'll get it

00:02:38.580 --> 00:02:42.080
in the show notes. Yeah, show notes. But it's

00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.039
got a cork in the whole nine. Looks like a real

00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:53.639
boy. Anyway, let me start with the CBS. Yeah,

00:02:53.659 --> 00:02:59.400
I was trying to. Oh. What? CBS, do you know what

00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:04.919
it stands for? No. Canadian Breakfast Out. Okay,

00:03:05.020 --> 00:03:09.490
so the Canada Ian's? Yeah. The Scandinavian breakfast

00:03:09.490 --> 00:03:14.789
town, baby. The Southern Greenlanders. Yes. The

00:03:14.789 --> 00:03:18.250
53rd state, because we're going to have to do

00:03:18.250 --> 00:03:21.110
Puerto Rico, Greenland, and then Canada. I do

00:03:21.110 --> 00:03:22.569
think we're going to keep Puerto Rico to the

00:03:22.569 --> 00:03:25.409
curb. You do? Yeah. We're just going to kind

00:03:25.409 --> 00:03:28.349
of let it go. Or they'll always just be the redheaded

00:03:28.349 --> 00:03:30.210
stepchild. They'll always just keep it just a

00:03:30.210 --> 00:03:33.330
little bit out of reach. I did have a spirited

00:03:33.330 --> 00:03:39.000
discussion with my wife about... Greenland and

00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:42.659
all of that fun stuff. So that was, this is not

00:03:42.659 --> 00:03:44.860
a political show. It's about the shipping lanes.

00:03:44.900 --> 00:03:47.539
It's about the shipping lanes and maybe getting

00:03:47.539 --> 00:03:51.020
closer. Nevermind. Yes. So, well, they have a

00:03:51.020 --> 00:03:54.020
little bit of a blurb on the founder site. Okay.

00:03:54.240 --> 00:04:00.219
CBS. It's time to be legend. Wait for it. Dairy.

00:04:00.699 --> 00:04:03.560
Legend, and I hope you're not lactose intolerant

00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:05.259
because the second half of this word is dairy.

00:04:05.860 --> 00:04:10.280
Exactly. The legendary CBS returns. CBS is a

00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.419
bold imperial stout featuring chocolate and coffee

00:04:13.419 --> 00:04:16.399
that is aged in bourbon barrels with maple syrup.

00:04:16.540 --> 00:04:19.540
The sweet but balanced aromas of maple syrup

00:04:19.540 --> 00:04:22.639
and chocolate fill the air, while notes of toasted

00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:25.480
oak and vanilla become more profound with every

00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:29.189
sip, melding together. And what can only be described

00:04:29.189 --> 00:04:32.610
as a transcendent drinking experience. Well,

00:04:32.629 --> 00:04:35.629
I need to be transcended. So that's, that's some

00:04:35.629 --> 00:04:41.810
bold language. Now I do like their regular breakfast

00:04:41.810 --> 00:04:49.110
out. Hey, did it catch it? It caught it. No,

00:04:49.170 --> 00:04:51.550
that's the really glad the video wasn't on for

00:04:51.550 --> 00:04:55.990
that. Cause yeah, that was not graceful at all,

00:04:56.009 --> 00:04:59.009
but I did. I did catch it. You caught the cap.

00:04:59.230 --> 00:05:01.170
I caught the cap. That's what the thing is supposed

00:05:01.170 --> 00:05:04.470
to do. That's what it's supposed to do. This

00:05:04.470 --> 00:05:06.990
is fun. It says barrel -aged series. Oh, wow.

00:05:07.870 --> 00:05:09.790
Yeah, you can smell it immediately. Oh, yeah.

00:05:09.870 --> 00:05:11.990
That was like, boom, like a smack in the face

00:05:11.990 --> 00:05:15.709
in a good way. Yeah. I mean, it is a good smell

00:05:15.709 --> 00:05:20.370
for sure. Oh. This is going to be exciting, folks.

00:05:20.370 --> 00:05:24.899
I need a moment, folks. I'm sorry. Hold on. what's

00:05:24.899 --> 00:05:27.060
with the, Oh, the Mountie. I get it. There's

00:05:27.060 --> 00:05:29.759
a horse on the, on the label. And I was like,

00:05:29.819 --> 00:05:33.000
what? Yeah. But you see, he's not on the horse.

00:05:33.060 --> 00:05:34.560
Even the horse knows I'm getting out of here.

00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:37.160
Yeah. The horse is like, uh, that guy fell off

00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:42.680
a ways back. I get the chocolate. Oh, for sure.

00:05:42.819 --> 00:05:45.540
There's some sweetness. Uh, yeah, I can definitely,

00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:52.850
um, smell that, uh, yeah. Maple. Yeah. Yeah,

00:05:52.930 --> 00:05:59.269
a little bit of the, what do you call it, the

00:05:59.269 --> 00:06:03.610
bourbon barrel. Get some notes of the bourbon.

00:06:03.850 --> 00:06:06.009
It's saying that the vanilla is going to come,

00:06:06.050 --> 00:06:08.129
the vanilla and oak are going to come later.

00:06:09.370 --> 00:06:11.389
So I'm interested to see how that plays out.

00:06:12.629 --> 00:06:15.870
Well, here we go. Cheers. Starting off strong.

00:06:26.350 --> 00:06:31.709
Yeah, that's real smooth. Yeah, it's like I can

00:06:31.709 --> 00:06:35.089
feel it building. That's weird. It is weird.

00:06:35.170 --> 00:06:37.910
It starts kind of tame. It's got a little bit

00:06:37.910 --> 00:06:40.870
of the bourbon like, I don't know what you'd

00:06:40.870 --> 00:06:44.889
like. It's not bite, but that like. Just the

00:06:44.889 --> 00:06:47.689
flavor. Yeah, that bourbon side of the tongue

00:06:47.689 --> 00:06:50.490
flavor. But then like everything else kind of

00:06:50.490 --> 00:06:53.290
waits and then gets stronger and stronger and

00:06:53.290 --> 00:06:56.300
stronger. The coffee. Is getting a lot stronger

00:06:56.300 --> 00:06:59.720
right now. Yeah. I think the more you bring that

00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:01.800
in, the more it's like, oh no, the coffee is

00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:05.920
there. It is. This is a breakfast beer for sure.

00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:12.500
You are, you are. I got my coffee. I got my coffee.

00:07:13.259 --> 00:07:17.139
Just need some ice, man. Wow, that's good. Wow.

00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:27.360
Yeah, I really like that a lot. I mean, every

00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:29.480
time you drink, the coffee kind of subsides and

00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.519
then it comes back. So it's initial, initial

00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:35.319
like tastes are definitely that the chocolate

00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:41.579
and the maple and that bourbon. Like, yeah, that's

00:07:41.579 --> 00:07:43.639
so weird. Cause I mean, you, you, you take the

00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.639
drink, you swallow it down and it's like nothing.

00:07:47.339 --> 00:07:49.930
Yeah. And then it's just like, Here's a layer

00:07:49.930 --> 00:07:51.810
and here's the next layer and the next layer

00:07:51.810 --> 00:07:53.709
and the next layer. And it's like, oh my gosh.

00:07:53.850 --> 00:07:56.310
Yeah. I'm not, I'm not used to the taste getting

00:07:56.310 --> 00:08:00.750
stronger. No, not, not. It gets stronger, but

00:08:00.750 --> 00:08:04.910
you can taste each of like the notes. Yeah. You

00:08:04.910 --> 00:08:07.110
get the chocolate, you get the coffee, you get

00:08:07.110 --> 00:08:10.769
the syrup and then you get the bourbon. Yeah.

00:08:11.329 --> 00:08:14.329
I think the, the coffee is definitely last of

00:08:14.329 --> 00:08:16.149
what I'm tasting, but it's definitely what is.

00:08:16.649 --> 00:08:18.790
the most pronounced whenever I'm sitting here

00:08:18.790 --> 00:08:22.370
longer. Yeah. Like, wow, that is, that is an

00:08:22.370 --> 00:08:27.769
interesting, how do they do that? This is really,

00:08:27.829 --> 00:08:31.470
really good. I have not seen this anywhere. Uh,

00:08:31.529 --> 00:08:33.750
no, I don't. I mean, this is, it's a Canadian

00:08:33.750 --> 00:08:36.470
breakfast out. We don't have that in Texas. It's

00:08:36.470 --> 00:08:39.909
made in Michigan. Yeah. Texas. Yeah. But we get

00:08:39.909 --> 00:08:43.250
all the Texas. We get all the others. I know.

00:08:43.549 --> 00:08:47.700
I know. They have a spot on here. Find CBS. Let's

00:08:47.700 --> 00:08:51.600
see how far they ship it. I mean, yeah. Specs,

00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:56.620
okay, but not in that zip code. Yeah, we're a

00:08:56.620 --> 00:09:05.840
ways out. I have found that if they have something

00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:08.519
at Specs, like online you go and you see something

00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:13.240
on Specs, if you ask for it at Fat Dogs, they'll

00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.539
try. To try to get it? Yeah. Oh. So that may

00:09:16.539 --> 00:09:20.000
be worth... Well, I'm trying to see if they're

00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:23.519
going to tell me it's there or not. It's the

00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:25.159
internet. You can't believe everything you see

00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:30.820
on the internet. Specs says out of stock. But

00:09:30.820 --> 00:09:32.720
I didn't want you to go to that location, folks.

00:09:32.980 --> 00:09:37.580
It is interesting that it's Canadian breakfast

00:09:37.580 --> 00:09:40.259
out, but very proudly in the top right corner

00:09:40.259 --> 00:09:43.870
of this label it says... produced in the u .s

00:09:43.870 --> 00:09:49.309
yes so just just throwing it out there in canada

00:09:49.309 --> 00:09:51.769
i guess i guess they're just not gonna tell me

00:09:51.769 --> 00:09:57.710
jason we need you to do some research because

00:09:57.710 --> 00:10:00.529
this is this is worth knowing if we can that's

00:10:00.529 --> 00:10:06.590
a mighty tasty beer yeah man man if you don't

00:10:06.590 --> 00:10:09.029
like those tastes i'm gonna say that out loud

00:10:09.029 --> 00:10:13.480
if you don't like like if the idea of a beer

00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.120
that tastes a little bit like coffee and a little

00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:20.740
bit like chocolate and syrup. If that's, if that's

00:10:20.740 --> 00:10:24.299
not your thing, you're going to hate both of

00:10:24.299 --> 00:10:28.100
these. Sure. But I would think if you, if you're

00:10:28.100 --> 00:10:31.120
a stout drinker, you're used to some of the coffee

00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:34.059
flavor. Yeah, I would think so. And some of the

00:10:34.059 --> 00:10:36.600
chocolate. Yeah. Dark chocolate and coffee. And

00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:41.299
sometimes they'll do like, you know, the milk

00:10:41.299 --> 00:10:44.000
stouts are kind of, a different thing they're

00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:49.080
just it's some are okay and some are not so much

00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:53.960
um but with this i would say the the chocolate

00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:57.120
is not overpowering and the maple syrup isn't

00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.279
too strong no i don't think so i think they're

00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.299
stronger than in the dragon's milk um there's

00:11:03.299 --> 00:11:05.279
no maple syrup in the dragon's milk that i remember

00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:10.590
but like no the coffee and chocolate um I think

00:11:10.590 --> 00:11:13.990
it had a stronger coffee. We're about to find

00:11:13.990 --> 00:11:16.230
out. I think it had a stronger chocolate taste.

00:11:16.230 --> 00:11:18.250
This definitely has a stronger coffee taste to

00:11:18.250 --> 00:11:23.750
me. Wow. I wish I had more to take home. I'm

00:11:23.750 --> 00:11:27.750
enjoying this a lot. Wow. This is really good.

00:11:29.549 --> 00:11:31.750
And what I have to say, what this beer has done,

00:11:32.009 --> 00:11:34.370
it's made us actually talk about the beer again.

00:11:34.669 --> 00:11:36.429
Yeah, no. Because we've had quite a few shows

00:11:36.429 --> 00:11:38.009
where it's been like, yeah, that's a good beer.

00:11:38.429 --> 00:11:40.529
And then we're doing something else. No, this

00:11:40.529 --> 00:11:43.889
is definitely worth talking about. Oh, yeah.

00:11:45.070 --> 00:11:50.649
Yeah, this is a highly recommend. If you're somewhere

00:11:50.649 --> 00:11:53.830
and you see this, grab all that they have. Yeah,

00:11:53.830 --> 00:11:56.429
number one. Just go ahead and buy it. If you

00:11:56.429 --> 00:11:58.870
don't like it, we'll buy it off of you. Yes,

00:11:58.889 --> 00:12:02.039
you can donate it to the show. That's better.

00:12:02.779 --> 00:12:05.220
I like that better. Let's do that. We accept

00:12:05.220 --> 00:12:09.240
donations of all beer. Yeah, of all beer. And

00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:12.539
we would even accept donations of whiskey and

00:12:12.539 --> 00:12:16.059
scotch and bourbons and all the good stuff. We

00:12:16.059 --> 00:12:17.779
should do that one of these days. I know that

00:12:17.779 --> 00:12:19.519
this is beer and gear, but we should bring a

00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:26.620
bourbon and scotch and see what we think. Do

00:12:26.620 --> 00:12:38.139
you have a favorite scotch? Probably, well, my

00:12:38.139 --> 00:12:40.759
brother's a big Macallan fan, but that's too

00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:44.000
expensive for my blood. Right. So for me, it

00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:48.379
would probably be a Glenfiddich 15. And if I'm

00:12:48.379 --> 00:12:53.340
feeling really loose with my money, the 18. But

00:12:53.340 --> 00:12:56.879
Glenlivet, they make a good one too. Yeah, I

00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:03.620
found a McLeod that I think was an 18. locally

00:13:03.620 --> 00:13:06.620
that was not expensive um and it was really good

00:13:06.620 --> 00:13:10.179
um but you're right like when when scotch gets

00:13:10.179 --> 00:13:12.480
expensive it gets real expensive yes it does

00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:16.240
um so i i'm not i'm not gonna i mean i've bought

00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:20.279
i've even bought johnny walker blue for a friend

00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:23.820
yeah because it was his favorite and i'm i'm

00:13:23.820 --> 00:13:26.039
willing to do that for somebody who really does

00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:29.610
appreciate it yeah um and i think the the the

00:13:29.610 --> 00:13:31.870
most expensive one that I've bought that I've

00:13:31.870 --> 00:13:35.409
really like wanted to try and then tried and

00:13:35.409 --> 00:13:38.909
then did like, it was the Lagavulin that was,

00:13:38.909 --> 00:13:44.830
it had to be 18. Yeah. But that was quite a ways

00:13:44.830 --> 00:13:47.669
back there. Yeah. But this McLeod one was more

00:13:47.669 --> 00:13:53.169
in the 25 to $35 range. Yeah. For an 18. Yeah.

00:13:53.330 --> 00:13:56.750
Wow. Yeah. I was surprised. Wow. And maybe it

00:13:56.750 --> 00:14:00.169
was just a deal on it at that time. Okay. Um,

00:14:00.169 --> 00:14:04.629
it's not spelled. It's spelled like the Highlander,

00:14:04.629 --> 00:14:08.509
right? It wasn't he? L -E -O -D. L -E -O -D.

00:14:08.629 --> 00:14:10.590
Yeah. I think it was. Yeah. It may have been

00:14:10.590 --> 00:14:13.549
M -A -C. Oh, okay. Well, I don't remember. Well,

00:14:13.629 --> 00:14:15.350
it's the same thing. We won't hold it against

00:14:15.350 --> 00:14:20.450
him. Um, and then bourbon. Yeah. We have a favorite

00:14:20.450 --> 00:14:22.409
bourbon in our house. What's your favorite bourbon?

00:14:23.129 --> 00:14:27.210
Uh, well, I start to blend the streams when it

00:14:27.210 --> 00:14:30.100
gets outside of scotch. You mean cross the streams?

00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:31.960
Cross the streams, blend the streams, whatever.

00:14:32.419 --> 00:14:35.299
I'm just saying, you're saying we shouldn't cross

00:14:35.299 --> 00:14:37.059
the streams and then we're going to cross the

00:14:37.059 --> 00:14:53.139
streams. I'll blame the CBS. What's the... Maker's

00:14:53.139 --> 00:14:55.440
Mark? Maker's Mark, yep. That's a good one. Yeah.

00:14:56.169 --> 00:15:02.570
For sure. We, we, my sister -in -law, not sister

00:15:02.570 --> 00:15:08.269
-in -law. That's mine. Yep. My sister and my

00:15:08.269 --> 00:15:12.250
brother -in -law told us about one when Lori

00:15:12.250 --> 00:15:17.370
and I were relatively newly married called Breckenridge.

00:15:17.789 --> 00:15:20.769
Okay. And it's not an expensive bourbon. Okay.

00:15:20.830 --> 00:15:26.490
It's not, you know, it's not going to be. Buffalo

00:15:26.490 --> 00:15:29.169
trace. It's not going to be like the whatever

00:15:29.169 --> 00:15:32.889
hard to find, but like for a, we always have

00:15:32.889 --> 00:15:36.929
this bourbon. It's fantastic. Okay. And it's

00:15:36.929 --> 00:15:40.350
just called Breckenridge. They may have a, um,

00:15:40.409 --> 00:15:45.529
they have a few different kinds. I just can't,

00:15:45.529 --> 00:15:49.950
excuse me. I can't remember what all the, uh,

00:15:50.149 --> 00:15:53.049
variations of it are, but the, the, just the,

00:15:53.070 --> 00:15:58.250
just the bourbon. Is really good. It's got a

00:15:58.250 --> 00:16:03.070
mountain scape in the background. Now, if I was

00:16:03.070 --> 00:16:09.549
going to mix with like a Coke or a Dr. Pepper.

00:16:09.870 --> 00:16:14.289
Bullet. That's a good one. I like Monkey Shoulder.

00:16:14.389 --> 00:16:17.730
Monkey Shoulder? Yeah. Well, there you go. I

00:16:17.730 --> 00:16:21.570
guess technically it would maybe qualify as a

00:16:21.570 --> 00:16:26.610
blended whiskey. Yeah, I think. I think. But

00:16:26.610 --> 00:16:29.230
it's good. I have a friend whose mixer is always

00:16:29.230 --> 00:16:34.590
Jim Beam. I get it, but I like Bullet mixed because

00:16:34.590 --> 00:16:38.049
Bullet, in my opinion, is really strong. The

00:16:38.049 --> 00:16:41.669
taste is really strong. You really have the fire

00:16:41.669 --> 00:16:48.129
in Bullet. I like it when you mix it with something

00:16:48.129 --> 00:16:54.919
else because you still taste the bourbon. And

00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:57.220
some people probably think that that's a waste,

00:16:57.379 --> 00:17:02.480
but... Well, that's okay. That's fine. It's another

00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:05.480
one of those, we won't hold it against you. Yeah,

00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:07.920
Monkey Shoulder, they call it a blended malt

00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:12.160
scotch whiskey. But I do like that one, and I

00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:16.240
like the bottle. It's got the little, the three

00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:19.960
little monkeys on the bottle. Yeah, what's the

00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:23.650
really expensive one? Not 12 monkeys. No, not

00:17:23.650 --> 00:17:28.089
12. Holy cow. Blanton's, the one with the horse

00:17:28.089 --> 00:17:33.130
on it. That's the little sphere bottle. Yes.

00:17:33.730 --> 00:17:38.049
I drank some of that with a friend who really

00:17:38.049 --> 00:17:43.990
enjoys Blanton. That was a lot of bourbon in

00:17:43.990 --> 00:17:49.789
that particular sip. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. You hear

00:17:49.789 --> 00:17:52.940
on their side, they say that. Monkey shoulder

00:17:52.940 --> 00:17:57.539
is made for mixing bold enough to stand out balance

00:17:57.539 --> 00:18:00.880
enough, not to overpower great with mixes or

00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:06.980
on its own. Yeah. I think that's, um, like there,

00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:09.079
there are certain drinks that I think you like

00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:13.099
are really going for a mixture, I guess. Um,

00:18:13.099 --> 00:18:19.039
and, and monkey shoulder would be, uh, a good

00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:22.210
one for. for that it's funny to me because i

00:18:22.210 --> 00:18:26.750
always think of you know you you've you've gone

00:18:26.750 --> 00:18:29.049
to a bar and they pour you a drink and it's um

00:18:29.049 --> 00:18:34.549
you're wondering where the whiskey where's the

00:18:34.549 --> 00:18:39.190
whiskey where the whiskey mcclintock um yeah

00:18:39.190 --> 00:18:43.609
uh that's what i think of when i think of something

00:18:43.609 --> 00:18:47.390
that blends well and i understand like it could

00:18:47.390 --> 00:18:51.029
have just been a really weak pour Sure. But that's

00:18:51.029 --> 00:18:53.890
why I like Bullet in mixes because it's like,

00:18:53.930 --> 00:18:58.089
nope, there it is. Yep. Makes me feel like I'm

00:18:58.089 --> 00:19:01.069
paying for it, which you are. Oh, you are. That's

00:19:01.069 --> 00:19:06.650
for sure. That you are. Mm -hmm. Man, this is

00:19:06.650 --> 00:19:09.049
a good beer. Yeah, I like this a lot. Thank you,

00:19:09.049 --> 00:19:12.430
Jason. Yeah, thank you, Jason. Now, if you have

00:19:12.430 --> 00:19:15.859
more at home, you should pass it along. Or if

00:19:15.859 --> 00:19:18.920
your dad has more that he wants to send our way

00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.220
with some of that cheese. From his dad? No. Oh,

00:19:22.220 --> 00:19:24.740
okay. Yeah, the cheese. I was just trying to

00:19:24.740 --> 00:19:26.980
throw in the cheese. Oh, and he's made a slight

00:19:26.980 --> 00:19:30.119
tweak. Excuse me? To the cheese, and I tried

00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:32.700
it at the office when he brought it in. And?

00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:38.019
It was good. Jason, we have a fridge here at

00:19:38.019 --> 00:19:42.240
the podcast house, and so it would be great if

00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:47.250
there was just some cheese. What is it going

00:19:47.250 --> 00:19:50.970
to take, man? We will be your testers. Yeah.

00:19:51.049 --> 00:19:53.430
You tweak the format. However you want to tweak

00:19:53.430 --> 00:19:56.569
it. You tweak the formula. You send it to us.

00:19:56.690 --> 00:19:58.829
Yeah. We'll give you feedback. Absolutely. On

00:19:58.829 --> 00:20:01.430
the show feedback. On the show feedback. Absolutely.

00:20:01.789 --> 00:20:05.150
Free advertising. Pop's Cheese. Poppa's Cheese.

00:20:05.309 --> 00:20:08.329
Poppa's Cheese. Poppa's Cheese. I'm just saying,

00:20:08.430 --> 00:20:11.190
this show not brought to you by Poppa's Cheese,

00:20:11.269 --> 00:20:14.309
but... Hopefully in the future. It could be.

00:20:15.650 --> 00:20:18.509
Papa's cheese. I'm all for it. We'll do a little

00:20:18.509 --> 00:20:22.109
commercial. CBS. That would not be bad. Not the

00:20:22.109 --> 00:20:30.269
broadcaster. CBS. This is CNN. No, please don't.

00:20:31.369 --> 00:20:33.769
Good Lord. That's a movie reference if you know

00:20:33.769 --> 00:20:36.910
the movie. I mean, I thought it was just CNN.

00:20:38.109 --> 00:20:42.160
Well, a long time ago, yes. Yeah. Now I'm going

00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:44.460
to blink on the movie. Oh, this is horrible.

00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:50.279
Kung Pao, Enter the Fist. It's Mushu and the

00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:54.099
lion. And he's fading out and he goes, this is

00:20:54.099 --> 00:21:02.759
CNN. CNN. Oh, love that movie. Enter the Fist.

00:21:04.259 --> 00:21:09.829
That's a while ago, man. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I wasn't

00:21:09.829 --> 00:21:12.609
married when that movie came out. I had a friend

00:21:12.609 --> 00:21:15.950
tell me today that he's definitely still in the,

00:21:16.049 --> 00:21:17.849
when he says 20 years ago, he's talking about

00:21:17.849 --> 00:21:21.829
1980. Oh. I was like, yeah, I get that. Like,

00:21:21.829 --> 00:21:28.869
that makes sense. I saw the, you know, meme the

00:21:28.869 --> 00:21:33.150
other day that was the people born in 2000 are

00:21:33.150 --> 00:21:36.529
26 years old. That's so weird because I was born

00:21:36.529 --> 00:21:42.069
in 1983 and I'm 26 years old. I'm 26 years old

00:21:42.069 --> 00:21:45.230
too. Wait a minute. Hey, that's interesting math.

00:21:45.349 --> 00:21:50.589
That's so weird. Interesting math. Well, remind

00:21:50.589 --> 00:21:53.789
me when we get to the point of wrapping up. I

00:21:53.789 --> 00:21:56.890
have a couple of show announcements to make.

00:21:57.049 --> 00:22:00.069
Show announcements. Show announcements. Announcements.

00:22:00.089 --> 00:22:08.019
No. Don't. Not doing it. Too soon? I mean. Oh,

00:22:08.019 --> 00:22:09.940
you're going in for number two. Not for some

00:22:09.940 --> 00:22:13.700
of us. I feel like. You've been, yeah. I feel

00:22:13.700 --> 00:22:16.660
like I have, I'm slacking because usually I'm

00:22:16.660 --> 00:22:19.119
the one that's ahead of you. That is the case,

00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:23.880
but I'll tell you why. So this is not tech related,

00:22:24.019 --> 00:22:26.279
but you know, you're listening to this, so you

00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:34.069
probably know us. My son. At the beginning of

00:22:34.069 --> 00:22:37.029
this year, he's in middle school. So I have three

00:22:37.029 --> 00:22:41.730
children. And my youngest son is a sixth grader

00:22:41.730 --> 00:22:44.990
this year. And he is in a middle school that

00:22:44.990 --> 00:22:52.289
shall not be named. And it's his first year in

00:22:52.289 --> 00:22:54.130
middle school, of course, at sixth grade. But

00:22:54.130 --> 00:22:56.410
he's also, it's his first year in this district.

00:22:57.029 --> 00:22:59.170
Because my wife teaches in a different district.

00:23:00.940 --> 00:23:03.839
I mean, we made the choice to move our kids whenever

00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:06.160
they started sixth grade into this district that

00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:08.700
we actually live in instead of being in the district

00:23:08.700 --> 00:23:12.519
that Lori teaches in because they wouldn't be

00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:18.400
in her age group anymore anyway. And the idea

00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:21.299
of them staying for another year and then moving

00:23:21.299 --> 00:23:25.519
in seventh grade when they would have moved to

00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:27.220
a different school, it just didn't make any sense.

00:23:30.730 --> 00:23:33.869
First year in middle school, also first year

00:23:33.869 --> 00:23:39.329
in this new district. And, you know, the middle

00:23:39.329 --> 00:23:42.069
school is just tough anyway. You're trying to

00:23:42.069 --> 00:23:47.410
figure out friend groups, brand new. Within the

00:23:47.410 --> 00:23:52.109
first month of him being at this school, he's

00:23:52.109 --> 00:23:55.509
in pre -athletics and they start, you guys start

00:23:55.509 --> 00:23:58.529
pantsing each other, which for our generation.

00:23:59.299 --> 00:24:02.119
Is like, yeah, I mean, we've all been there.

00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:05.220
That's what you do. And the coach is like, hey,

00:24:05.259 --> 00:24:09.119
stop it. And so they all stop. And then at the

00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:13.059
end of the day, at the end of the school day,

00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:16.680
my son, who has by that point run out of his

00:24:16.680 --> 00:24:22.460
medication for his ADHD, sees the kid that he

00:24:22.460 --> 00:24:26.279
had tried to pants. The only thing that goes

00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:28.259
on in his little lizard brain at that point is,

00:24:28.339 --> 00:24:30.420
I didn't get him. I'm going to get him this time.

00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:33.420
So he runs up to him and tries to pants him.

00:24:33.539 --> 00:24:36.400
I don't know. He says he didn't get him, but

00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:41.259
he at least was holding onto his pants and pulling.

00:24:41.579 --> 00:24:49.519
Okay. And the kid in my son's telling of this

00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:53.519
turns around and is trying to get Cade to stop,

00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:58.660
and he pops Cade. in his cheeks. Okay. And so

00:24:58.660 --> 00:25:03.259
Kay just swings at him, punches him in the face.

00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:07.279
Um, the next day kid shows up with his parents.

00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:10.099
They're upset. Um, and I still don't know anything

00:25:10.099 --> 00:25:13.359
about this. Um, cause Kate's not, you know, just

00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:16.039
going to tell me that something like this happens.

00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:23.299
But evidently, um, uh, They come in hot and they

00:25:23.299 --> 00:25:26.000
look at the videotape and they see not only in

00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:29.140
athletics where Cade interacts with this kid,

00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:30.839
but they see at the end of the day they can also

00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:36.700
see this happen. And so what I was told is that

00:25:36.700 --> 00:25:39.839
they did not see the other kid touch Cade at

00:25:39.839 --> 00:25:42.500
all. And Cade wasn't making a big deal about

00:25:42.500 --> 00:25:47.720
that when we first talked. He's just kind of

00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:49.759
accepting that he's in trouble because he's in

00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:54.220
trouble. But what he doesn't realize is that

00:25:54.220 --> 00:25:57.799
all of this is compounding on itself. So the

00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:00.559
parents see Cade going after their son in pre

00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:02.180
-athletics and they see him going after their

00:26:02.180 --> 00:26:06.059
son after school and they see him punch him,

00:26:06.180 --> 00:26:11.420
not seeing that the kid touched Cade at all.

00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:16.960
So in their mind, this is bullying. Targeting,

00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:20.359
I think is what they call it. Targeting. You

00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:22.539
know, they have a no bullying policy. Kate's

00:26:22.539 --> 00:26:29.039
going to get in real trouble. So the school suspends

00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:32.279
him for three days. And I'm like, yeah, all that

00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:36.420
makes sense at that point. But then they involve

00:26:36.420 --> 00:26:42.599
the school police officer. Oh. This is written

00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:50.470
up as assault. Wow. This goes. All the way to

00:26:50.470 --> 00:26:59.349
the court. To the county court. And we're told

00:26:59.349 --> 00:27:02.730
that that is happening. But my general thought

00:27:02.730 --> 00:27:05.650
on the whole thing is, this is interesting. I

00:27:05.650 --> 00:27:08.950
don't think that, I understand that misdemeanor

00:27:08.950 --> 00:27:11.769
assault, which is what they're classifying this

00:27:11.769 --> 00:27:16.190
at, is any unwanted touch. So technically, pantsing

00:27:16.190 --> 00:27:20.079
the kid is assault. Okay. Under that definition.

00:27:20.099 --> 00:27:23.740
Yeah. Yeah. I like misdemeanor class, class C

00:27:23.740 --> 00:27:27.119
misdemeanor assault is any, if I spit on you,

00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:31.299
that's a class C misdemeanor because it's provocative.

00:27:31.960 --> 00:27:36.980
It would, Oh, whatever. All that to say, we finally

00:27:36.980 --> 00:27:41.980
get a summons. We hire a lawyer. And today was

00:27:41.980 --> 00:27:45.960
the day that I took my son to court and talk

00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:48.869
through all this. Now a lot has come to light

00:27:48.869 --> 00:27:56.849
since all of this went down. Number one, the

00:27:56.849 --> 00:28:01.309
officer in question at this unnamed school may

00:28:01.309 --> 00:28:05.849
have been a little overzealous. Okay. The school

00:28:05.849 --> 00:28:10.009
has since proved itself a little overzealous.

00:28:10.329 --> 00:28:21.000
Okay. And then finally, Like, with new laws being

00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:25.920
passed on this sort of thing, there's just, there's

00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:32.059
a lot right now. So what I would say is, number

00:28:32.059 --> 00:28:38.119
one, my initial reaction to all of this is, this

00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:40.700
is not the world I grew up in. I mean, I've said

00:28:40.700 --> 00:28:42.759
that over and over and over again. I don't, I

00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:50.079
got pantsed. I'm pretty sure I pantsed other

00:28:50.079 --> 00:28:55.019
kids. It was kind of my wife pantsed her sister

00:28:55.019 --> 00:28:59.900
in a mall one time. Oh boy. Or the other way

00:28:59.900 --> 00:29:04.299
around. I can't remember. Anyway, like different.

00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:08.339
I understand. I really do. We live, we live in

00:29:08.339 --> 00:29:09.920
a different world. There are a lot of different

00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:12.859
sensitivities now when it comes to that. And,

00:29:12.859 --> 00:29:17.589
and most of them, I would say. I don't even know

00:29:17.589 --> 00:29:19.690
if I can say most of them. A whole, whole lot

00:29:19.690 --> 00:29:22.690
of them. I understand where the sensitivity is

00:29:22.690 --> 00:29:25.150
coming from. I am not saying that we should not

00:29:25.150 --> 00:29:28.410
be insensitive. Sure. I'm not saying that my

00:29:28.410 --> 00:29:32.589
son should not have consequences for his actions.

00:29:32.710 --> 00:29:36.170
I firmly believe in those consequences and making

00:29:36.170 --> 00:29:39.230
sure that he understands that his life is not

00:29:39.230 --> 00:29:44.140
without consequence. Sure. But there's a list

00:29:44.140 --> 00:29:46.519
of things that I now have to do with my son in

00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:49.160
the next six months and make sure that he does

00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:52.940
accomplishes in the next six months that I just

00:29:52.940 --> 00:29:57.059
I don't know. And I mean, a ridiculous amount

00:29:57.059 --> 00:30:02.220
of money that we have now paid. I just I don't

00:30:02.220 --> 00:30:09.299
know that this is a tenable situation for the

00:30:09.299 --> 00:30:14.690
world. It feels like. You know, with a lot of

00:30:14.690 --> 00:30:25.250
things there, there's just, there's no, I don't

00:30:25.250 --> 00:30:29.549
know. So anyway, that's why I may be going through

00:30:29.549 --> 00:30:31.609
these beers a little bit faster than normal.

00:30:31.690 --> 00:30:37.109
Sure. It's just, I'm tired. Let me catch up with

00:30:37.109 --> 00:30:48.549
you. So if you're wondering, this is the Dragon's

00:30:48.549 --> 00:30:52.710
Milk Reserve coffee chocolate. Yeah, I'm going

00:30:52.710 --> 00:30:55.849
to take it back. Bourbon barrel aged. There's

00:30:55.849 --> 00:30:58.890
a lot of taste in that one too. But it's the

00:30:58.890 --> 00:31:02.009
fact that it's all on the front end. But our

00:31:02.009 --> 00:31:05.910
palate is a little off, so to speak. I would

00:31:05.910 --> 00:31:09.990
say that too. But what is different about these

00:31:09.990 --> 00:31:14.750
two is how it attacks your mouth. And I don't

00:31:14.750 --> 00:31:18.589
mean attack in a bad way. Okay. Like with Dragon's

00:31:18.589 --> 00:31:21.470
Milk Reserve, it is immediate that that is what

00:31:21.470 --> 00:31:25.769
you're tasting. It tastes good. I'm not whatever,

00:31:25.890 --> 00:31:31.109
but it is like, you taste it. Yeah. With CBS,

00:31:32.049 --> 00:31:36.769
it is like, what was that? Oh, there it is. Oh,

00:31:36.829 --> 00:31:41.009
there it is. Like it just comes on later. I feel

00:31:41.009 --> 00:31:46.980
like the founders has. Change the flavor. Because

00:31:46.980 --> 00:31:49.640
I had one of these at home. Oh, before you came?

00:31:49.700 --> 00:31:56.019
Well, I had it... What was it? Well, I guess

00:31:56.019 --> 00:31:57.839
it was the night of the last show that we did.

00:31:58.420 --> 00:32:02.240
I had one that night. Yeah, sure. And it didn't

00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:05.259
taste like this. Okay. So I think that the founders

00:32:05.259 --> 00:32:08.279
is really... Bringing out some other stuff? Manipulating

00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:11.519
the palate, so to speak. Interesting. This Belgian

00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:14.319
ale is going to taste like chocolate and coffee.

00:32:14.779 --> 00:32:19.000
Is that what you're saying? Wait a minute. We

00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:21.180
may not be able to give it a fair shake, to be

00:32:21.180 --> 00:32:22.279
honest. No, I don't think you can give it a fair

00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:25.140
assessment after this. Because I had this one,

00:32:25.259 --> 00:32:31.000
like I said before, and I could taste the coffee.

00:32:31.299 --> 00:32:36.200
I could taste the chocolate. But I feel like

00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:42.440
it was more smooth than this. This felt a little

00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:49.039
more. Heavy on the bourbon. Aggressive. I know

00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:50.660
you're not a coffee guy, but it does make me

00:32:50.660 --> 00:32:54.160
want to try Madcap Coffee because that's who

00:32:54.160 --> 00:33:04.759
is partnering with this Dragon's Milk concoction.

00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:11.640
It's only 11%. Only? Barely a beer. Yeah, that

00:33:11.640 --> 00:33:14.180
whole, what was it, 0 .7? Yeah, 0 .7 makes a

00:33:14.180 --> 00:33:16.140
difference. Well, that's what I said. That one's

00:33:16.140 --> 00:33:17.480
a lightweight at eight and a half. Eight and

00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:23.819
a half. Like, oh, whatever. It's water. Yeah.

00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:29.799
How's it going with you? Well, I don't have that,

00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:34.700
obviously. I have my own challenges. Of course.

00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:37.680
Since we're sharing. Yeah, share away. Well,

00:33:37.779 --> 00:33:40.450
I'll start with children. Feeling seat, if you

00:33:40.450 --> 00:33:44.490
would. We are in the feeling chair, folks. Settle

00:33:44.490 --> 00:33:50.849
in. Some smooth jams. We are facing some of our

00:33:50.849 --> 00:33:52.849
own challenges with Garrett, our oldest. Okay.

00:33:53.049 --> 00:33:57.410
21. Been out of school this upcoming May of two

00:33:57.410 --> 00:34:04.430
years. Trying to light a fire. There's a lot

00:34:04.430 --> 00:34:09.920
of dragon feet. A lot of family heat. Didn't

00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:12.960
mean to make that rhyme, but it did. Dragon feet

00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:17.800
and family heat. Family heat, baby. Yeah. So

00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:19.980
we thought we were on the path for it to be an

00:34:19.980 --> 00:34:24.460
electrician. Great. Excellent choice. Nothing

00:34:24.460 --> 00:34:27.519
wrong with the trade. No. And then it has flipped

00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:29.559
to, well, I actually have a chance to go work

00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:35.219
for my buddy and work in survey. Great. I approve

00:34:35.219 --> 00:34:38.030
of that too. Like land survey. Yeah. I'm like,

00:34:38.130 --> 00:34:42.090
that's awesome. Great. Go do. And not like Google

00:34:42.090 --> 00:34:45.489
survey. No, not, not like Google surveys. Um,

00:34:45.489 --> 00:34:50.130
but I think it's falling through. And so we're

00:34:50.130 --> 00:34:52.769
kind of like, uh, so we're back to electrical,

00:34:52.869 --> 00:34:57.630
right? Uh, I don't know. I'm like, well, this

00:34:57.630 --> 00:35:01.289
may is two years and you're still working a part

00:35:01.289 --> 00:35:05.929
-time job. Now he makes enough money in a part

00:35:05.929 --> 00:35:08.769
-time job. To pay half his car payment, half

00:35:08.769 --> 00:35:12.530
his insurance, his gas, whatever stuff he wants

00:35:12.530 --> 00:35:15.110
to do with his money. This is two years. This

00:35:15.110 --> 00:35:17.369
is two years. He's not paying his whole car payment.

00:35:17.550 --> 00:35:20.489
Correct. Or his whole insurance. Correct. Or

00:35:20.489 --> 00:35:23.670
rent. Or rent. Or utilities. Yeah. Or anything.

00:35:23.949 --> 00:35:28.130
Anything. So we feel like we're being generous.

00:35:28.550 --> 00:35:32.869
Yeah. My mom and dad, however, are like, you're

00:35:32.869 --> 00:35:35.389
horrible. How dare you make him pay for it? I'm

00:35:35.389 --> 00:35:39.619
like. hey, who are you? You should have done

00:35:39.619 --> 00:35:41.880
this to me. Yeah, like, wait a minute, wait a

00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:43.739
minute. And I'm like, no, no, no, no. If I remember

00:35:43.739 --> 00:35:46.179
correctly. You should have done this to me. Yeah.

00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:50.800
You let me languish from the time that I was

00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:54.880
19 to the time I was 25. And it is only by the

00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:57.699
grace of God that I woke up on my 25th birthday

00:35:57.699 --> 00:36:00.840
and he smacked me upside the head and said, grow

00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:05.840
up, boy. And I listened. Because not too long

00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:08.219
after that, I met my future wife. You needed

00:36:08.219 --> 00:36:10.519
to be. And if she would have met the pre -25

00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:12.099
-year -old me, she'd have been like, that dude's

00:36:12.099 --> 00:36:17.860
a loser. Yeah, that dude is not helping. So we're

00:36:17.860 --> 00:36:20.440
trying to light a fire. Yeah. Trying to motivate.

00:36:22.099 --> 00:36:26.340
Trying not to stir anger. Yeah. Which is. Tough.

00:36:26.500 --> 00:36:29.079
Tough. Because anger can come real quickly in

00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:31.679
that 21 -year -old. Because he views it as a

00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:34.420
personal attack. And I was like, no, no, no,

00:36:34.420 --> 00:36:36.800
no, no. There's no personal attack here. We're

00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:39.639
trying to help motivate you, help you figure

00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:42.280
out where you want to go, trying to light a fire,

00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:47.059
trying to motivate, trying to push him in the

00:36:47.059 --> 00:36:49.380
right direction. Just help people or help him

00:36:49.380 --> 00:36:53.019
understand that there's more. Correct. Right.

00:36:53.059 --> 00:36:56.980
Correct. And so you deal with the influence of

00:36:56.980 --> 00:37:00.239
family. Yeah. Because family feels like you're

00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:04.139
being... Too hard or too difficult. I mean, yeah.

00:37:04.219 --> 00:37:08.800
I think anytime you draw a line with anything

00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:15.320
in your family, the people that are older than

00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:18.460
you and your family are going to wonder about

00:37:18.460 --> 00:37:23.139
the wisdom of that. Sure. Because they see I

00:37:23.139 --> 00:37:25.599
could go this way or that way. It's really funny

00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:28.170
to me because my parents. are not the people

00:37:28.170 --> 00:37:30.110
that I grew up with. Oh, mine aren't either for

00:37:30.110 --> 00:37:34.750
sure. I, I, I should stop. My dad is, my dad's

00:37:34.750 --> 00:37:37.789
the same exact person. He just, he didn't really

00:37:37.789 --> 00:37:41.449
have to raise us. So he doesn't, he hasn't changed.

00:37:41.650 --> 00:37:45.769
Okay. But mom, good Lord. Has she turned into

00:37:45.769 --> 00:37:50.969
a softie with green? I mean, I feel like I've

00:37:50.969 --> 00:37:52.690
told you the story, but if not, and it doesn't

00:37:52.690 --> 00:37:55.429
really matter. Um, when we lived with them briefly,

00:37:56.699 --> 00:38:00.860
When we were getting part of our old house remodeled,

00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:04.000
we couldn't live in it. And so we lived at my

00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:07.280
parents' house with them. And I walked in one

00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:11.079
morning and my son asked if he could have ice

00:38:11.079 --> 00:38:15.440
cream for breakfast. I was like, no, that's ridiculous.

00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:18.300
He's like, well, when can I? I was like, later.

00:38:18.539 --> 00:38:22.460
Like, I'm not, whatever. And so I go and do some

00:38:22.460 --> 00:38:25.780
other things. in the house and trying to help

00:38:25.780 --> 00:38:28.199
out because we're living at my parents' house.

00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:30.880
And so you want to help out. And I come back

00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:34.559
in and it's like, instead of maybe eight o 'clock

00:38:34.559 --> 00:38:37.119
or whatever, it's now 10 o 'clock. And my son

00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:39.460
is sitting at the table eating ice cream. And

00:38:39.460 --> 00:38:41.920
I'm like, are you freaking kidding me? I told

00:38:41.920 --> 00:38:44.960
you, I told you no, but it's later. That's exactly

00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:48.449
what my mother said to me. And I was like, who

00:38:48.449 --> 00:38:53.630
are you? Who are you? Because I know when I was

00:38:53.630 --> 00:38:56.349
a kid, that's not how this went. No, it would

00:38:56.349 --> 00:39:01.329
have been like the, oh, I'm having a bad memory

00:39:01.329 --> 00:39:03.469
night. It would have been like the Bill Cosby

00:39:03.469 --> 00:39:07.230
skit. Dad is great. Gives us the chocolate cake.

00:39:08.780 --> 00:39:11.340
And then mom's, how are you getting that chocolate

00:39:11.340 --> 00:39:17.619
cake? That's a funny skit. Yes. We're not in

00:39:17.619 --> 00:39:21.019
any way endorsing Bill Cosby. No, no, no, no,

00:39:21.019 --> 00:39:24.239
no, no. Not his choices. But his stand -up was

00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:25.380
really funny. His stand -up was spectacular.

00:39:25.579 --> 00:39:28.559
And that was arguably Bill Cosby himself. That

00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:31.099
was arguably, in my opinion, his best. Yeah.

00:39:31.940 --> 00:39:34.119
Daddy's great. Why don't you tell us about, because

00:39:34.119 --> 00:39:36.639
you've got a really cool, like how you did this

00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:40.599
with. uh garrett especially like you had like

00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:45.440
yeah milestones at various ages milestones uh

00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:47.860
we we don't really have rites of passages not

00:39:47.860 --> 00:39:50.260
in america no in america i mean the only one

00:39:50.260 --> 00:39:51.940
that i can think of really that everybody seems

00:39:51.940 --> 00:39:54.400
to do is walking across the stage when you're

00:39:54.400 --> 00:39:56.860
in high school and nobody really even thinks

00:39:56.860 --> 00:40:00.099
of it as that no but it is this like shared like

00:40:00.099 --> 00:40:04.670
you know That was a thing. You're done with this

00:40:04.670 --> 00:40:06.369
and you're on to the next phase. You had to dress

00:40:06.369 --> 00:40:10.690
differently for it. Everybody's there for it

00:40:10.690 --> 00:40:22.150
sometimes. I chose 13, 16, 18, and 21 and turned

00:40:22.150 --> 00:40:25.409
those into intentional trips out of town. Every

00:40:25.409 --> 00:40:28.929
time we've gone to Dallas, generally it has involved

00:40:28.929 --> 00:40:34.369
a Stars game. Which is always fun. I'm not really

00:40:34.369 --> 00:40:38.010
a big hockey guy. Boys Aquarium. Is that what

00:40:38.010 --> 00:40:40.429
they're calling it now? The Boys Aquarium for

00:40:40.429 --> 00:40:43.929
hockey? Women going to hockey games to watch

00:40:43.929 --> 00:40:48.750
hockey players. Okay. I'm just saying. Evidently,

00:40:48.750 --> 00:40:54.349
there's especially a stretching routine that

00:40:54.349 --> 00:40:57.769
women are very interested in. Okay. News to me.

00:40:58.010 --> 00:41:01.909
Yeah. News to me. I'm just saying, having to

00:41:01.909 --> 00:41:05.449
be on the social medias for this podcast has

00:41:05.449 --> 00:41:09.369
been... Eye -opening, apparently. I mean... Wow.

00:41:09.989 --> 00:41:12.829
I've never wanted my eyes closed more. Okay,

00:41:12.889 --> 00:41:15.389
good to know. Good to know. But yeah, so we've

00:41:15.389 --> 00:41:19.230
kind of chose... I kind of chose those as milestones.

00:41:19.750 --> 00:41:23.610
Yeah. 13, you're becoming a teenager. Obviously,

00:41:23.690 --> 00:41:26.230
puberty kicks in. Yeah. That's part of that.

00:41:26.799 --> 00:41:29.119
Conversation in that trip, girls, things of that

00:41:29.119 --> 00:41:33.179
nature, changes in the body. You're starting

00:41:33.179 --> 00:41:36.920
your journey to become a man. The decisions that

00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:39.639
you make over the next seven to 10 years are

00:41:39.639 --> 00:41:43.239
going to essentially determine the man that you're

00:41:43.239 --> 00:41:45.940
going to become. That doesn't mean that God can't

00:41:45.940 --> 00:41:48.239
miraculously work through you and significantly

00:41:48.239 --> 00:41:50.420
change you. Oh, he does all the time. But generally

00:41:50.420 --> 00:41:53.400
speaking. It's not that your actions don't matter.

00:41:53.599 --> 00:41:56.360
Correct. But generally speaking, the next. Seven

00:41:56.360 --> 00:41:57.800
to ten years, they're really going to define

00:41:57.800 --> 00:41:59.619
the man that you're going to be. That's right.

00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:04.780
So make these choices wisely. And so with that,

00:42:04.800 --> 00:42:08.300
in trying to give him something to remember,

00:42:08.659 --> 00:42:12.239
I chose various swords from Lord of the Rings.

00:42:12.539 --> 00:42:16.019
Right. So when he was 13, I gave him Sting. And

00:42:16.019 --> 00:42:18.300
in kind of borrowing from the Legend of Zelda,

00:42:18.480 --> 00:42:22.739
it's dangerous to go alone. Yeah. This is your

00:42:22.739 --> 00:42:26.139
sword to take with you. Love it. As you start

00:42:26.139 --> 00:42:28.159
your journey, there's monsters out there. You

00:42:28.159 --> 00:42:33.280
need to be armed and aware. And then 16, that

00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:36.179
was kind of that next big milestone. You can

00:42:36.179 --> 00:42:39.300
drive. You're in high school. And a lot of temptations.

00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:41.880
Absolutely. The whole girl thing is in full effect.

00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:45.659
And all the struggles and challenges that come

00:42:45.659 --> 00:42:50.039
with that. Women. Yeah, am I right? Am I right?

00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:53.460
And so for that one, I gave him the Morgul blade.

00:42:53.880 --> 00:42:55.920
Yeah. And the whole idea that, you know, one

00:42:55.920 --> 00:42:58.440
poke of that in the movie, you're hosed. You

00:42:58.440 --> 00:43:01.559
are turning into... You're turning into a ringwraith,

00:43:01.599 --> 00:43:06.639
end of story, move on. But turned it into a symbolism

00:43:06.639 --> 00:43:10.820
for sin. Yeah. And if you dabble in too much

00:43:10.820 --> 00:43:12.880
sin, you get poked too many times, God's going

00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:15.960
to go, okay, I will give you exactly what you

00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:21.119
want. Yeah. Here you go. So being mindful of

00:43:21.119 --> 00:43:25.280
we're all sinful, we're all going to commit sin,

00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:29.440
but there are choices that we make in terms of

00:43:29.440 --> 00:43:34.400
intentional sin of, yeah, I'm okay with this.

00:43:34.460 --> 00:43:37.300
It's not that big a deal. So how many times are

00:43:37.300 --> 00:43:41.159
you going to let yourself be poked before it's

00:43:41.159 --> 00:43:43.139
too late? Yeah, it's numb and you don't care.

00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:46.400
You get used to it. Absolutely. And then at 18,

00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:50.420
gave him Thorin Oakenshield sword. 18, you're

00:43:50.420 --> 00:43:53.280
now legally an adult. You're going to be viewed

00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:57.059
as a man in most people's eyes. So as you take

00:43:57.059 --> 00:44:01.980
a man's journey, you need a man's sword and not

00:44:01.980 --> 00:44:06.699
the sword of a child from 13. And so coming up.

00:44:07.230 --> 00:44:10.289
Here on February 2nd and 3rd, we'll do for his

00:44:10.289 --> 00:44:14.050
21st. And for that one, I'm giving him Strider's

00:44:14.050 --> 00:44:19.309
Sword. As you're fully a man, you're fully stepping

00:44:19.309 --> 00:44:22.190
out into this journey, and it's your own. You

00:44:22.190 --> 00:44:26.210
are on the hook for all your choices. Your mom

00:44:26.210 --> 00:44:28.469
and dad can't protect you. You make a bad choice.

00:44:29.579 --> 00:44:32.900
It's all yours. And if you make a bad legal choice,

00:44:33.159 --> 00:44:37.000
it's truly all yours. Yeah. I can't step in.

00:44:37.059 --> 00:44:39.099
Correct. There's nothing that I can do. I can't

00:44:39.099 --> 00:44:41.900
save you. I can't. I will stand with you. Sure.

00:44:42.179 --> 00:44:45.539
But I can't convince the judge. Well, even that.

00:44:45.659 --> 00:44:48.400
Boys will be boys, judge. Just let him go. Like

00:44:48.400 --> 00:44:51.400
I will be in the gallery. Correct. I can't even

00:44:51.400 --> 00:44:53.679
stand next to you. Correct. Yeah. There's nothing

00:44:53.679 --> 00:44:56.500
that we can do except be there as support. That

00:44:56.500 --> 00:45:00.949
was nice today. To be able to stand with Cade.

00:45:01.010 --> 00:45:03.630
Sure. I'm right behind him the entire time all

00:45:03.630 --> 00:45:07.409
that's happening. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah. So that's

00:45:07.409 --> 00:45:10.210
kind of the whole idea. And then two, the sword

00:45:10.210 --> 00:45:16.869
is a symbol of the word of God. Yeah. And so

00:45:16.869 --> 00:45:21.090
all of that is tightly woven into what we do

00:45:21.090 --> 00:45:26.610
and what we discuss. And you hope as you do these

00:45:26.610 --> 00:45:30.320
that. It's sinking in. It has an impact. Right.

00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:33.519
And then eventually you see the fruit of that

00:45:33.519 --> 00:45:36.219
play out. And then he would eventually go on.

00:45:36.260 --> 00:45:38.920
Someday he's going to be dad. Yeah. Unless Jesus

00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:43.900
comes back first. Wouldn't that be great? Yes,

00:45:43.900 --> 00:45:47.420
it would. Either of us are against grandchildren

00:45:47.420 --> 00:45:51.059
by any stretch of the imagination. Correct. But

00:45:51.059 --> 00:45:53.840
the idea that he would someday be the dad and

00:45:53.840 --> 00:45:56.820
then he could learn from this. Shape it, mold

00:45:56.820 --> 00:45:59.119
it his own way, and carry that on with his own

00:45:59.119 --> 00:46:02.480
kids. For sure. And then the last, well, I guess

00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:05.079
there's technically two more. The night before

00:46:05.079 --> 00:46:07.800
he gets married, I want to give him Anduril,

00:46:07.900 --> 00:46:09.940
the king's sword. Yeah. Because he's becoming

00:46:09.940 --> 00:46:12.579
the king of his own kingdom, so to speak. Yeah.

00:46:12.579 --> 00:46:14.539
King of his own castle. Every Englishman is king

00:46:14.539 --> 00:46:18.239
of his own. Castle. Home. Home, something. Castle

00:46:18.239 --> 00:46:20.139
is his home. I can't remember how that meant.

00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:24.460
But then for me, I would have, whoop, bumped

00:46:24.460 --> 00:46:26.539
the mic. If that made it through in the recording.

00:46:26.980 --> 00:46:30.619
But I would have Glamdring. Yeah. And then someday

00:46:30.619 --> 00:46:34.519
when I kick the bucket and get called home, that

00:46:34.519 --> 00:46:37.380
sword would be passed to him. And the symbolism

00:46:37.380 --> 00:46:40.659
behind that is that, you know, now you're the

00:46:40.659 --> 00:46:43.199
man of the family and people are going to be

00:46:43.199 --> 00:46:46.960
looking to you for wisdom and support and to

00:46:46.960 --> 00:46:50.599
carry them forward. Yeah. There's not many people

00:46:50.599 --> 00:46:54.039
that I know that are more wizardly than you on

00:46:54.039 --> 00:46:58.210
that. that realm so well good job bud so uh but

00:46:58.210 --> 00:47:00.869
borrowed it from the book um raising a modern

00:47:00.869 --> 00:47:04.590
day knight yeah and i know chris um chris lake

00:47:04.590 --> 00:47:06.969
pastor of the church here has mentioned what

00:47:06.969 --> 00:47:10.090
he's done with his own kids in particular and

00:47:10.090 --> 00:47:12.650
kind of yeah he has these discussions and here's

00:47:12.650 --> 00:47:14.869
here's something to have to remember yeah rites

00:47:14.869 --> 00:47:18.889
of passage i feel like our our uh we don't we

00:47:18.889 --> 00:47:22.519
don't have them very much In the West, in America.

00:47:22.619 --> 00:47:27.719
And so because we don't understand, I wouldn't

00:47:27.719 --> 00:47:29.780
even say that. It's not that we don't understand.

00:47:29.940 --> 00:47:33.380
We haven't been taught to value them. We haven't

00:47:33.380 --> 00:47:37.940
been trained to do them. And so anything that

00:47:37.940 --> 00:47:41.000
you can do along those lines, I know it's different

00:47:41.000 --> 00:47:50.469
for daughters. Your daughter may be more interested

00:47:50.469 --> 00:47:54.610
in makeup and things like that. Correct. Your

00:47:54.610 --> 00:47:59.369
son, especially, it's easy to kind of pick out

00:47:59.369 --> 00:48:02.670
the thing that he's interested in and try to

00:48:02.670 --> 00:48:07.190
find a way to help him understand the steps to

00:48:07.190 --> 00:48:12.070
adulthood, the steps to responsibility, the steps

00:48:12.070 --> 00:48:17.309
to accountability, and all of that stuff. you

00:48:17.309 --> 00:48:20.690
know initially you're being kind of fed and walked

00:48:20.690 --> 00:48:22.690
through this and at some point you've got to

00:48:22.690 --> 00:48:25.889
take the reins of your own life correct inside

00:48:25.889 --> 00:48:29.389
of that and you know i i love the way that you

00:48:29.389 --> 00:48:33.489
do it so i'm sure if you ask really nicely you

00:48:33.489 --> 00:48:36.849
know send a an email to beer and gear podcast

00:48:36.849 --> 00:48:41.110
at gmail .com and chris would If you ask really

00:48:41.110 --> 00:48:44.889
nicely and maybe send a beer, he would give you

00:48:44.889 --> 00:48:47.369
his list of how he does it, and maybe that'll

00:48:47.369 --> 00:48:50.530
make it more easy for somebody. Or go pick up

00:48:50.530 --> 00:48:52.829
Raising a Modern Day Knight. Yep, it's a good

00:48:52.829 --> 00:48:55.630
book. Great book. Highly recommend. Read through

00:48:55.630 --> 00:48:58.610
it. Highly recommend. And even though that book

00:48:58.610 --> 00:49:01.309
is kind of geared towards a dad raising his son,

00:49:01.510 --> 00:49:03.889
there's a lot of principles that translate to

00:49:03.889 --> 00:49:06.590
a dad with a daughter. Yeah. And so there's no

00:49:06.590 --> 00:49:10.829
reason why you couldn't learn from it. and have

00:49:10.829 --> 00:49:13.869
that. Now, in our situation, I've kind of handed

00:49:13.869 --> 00:49:16.750
that off to Michelle. For a daughter. For a daughter.

00:49:16.889 --> 00:49:18.929
But there are some conversations that I've had

00:49:18.929 --> 00:49:22.329
with Victoria. Yeah. You know, and I have to

00:49:22.329 --> 00:49:25.170
be very intentional in how I talk to her because

00:49:25.170 --> 00:49:29.110
she's hyper emotional. Shocker, she's a lady.

00:49:29.409 --> 00:49:30.869
Don't know what you're talking about. How could

00:49:30.869 --> 00:49:33.010
she be based on emotions? Never heard of emotions

00:49:33.010 --> 00:49:36.230
before in my life. Yes. Okay, that's not true.

00:49:36.389 --> 00:49:40.090
I am an emotional person. Yes. But when, they're

00:49:40.090 --> 00:49:43.030
having some of these conversations i talked to

00:49:43.030 --> 00:49:45.829
michelle and she's like well you can't say that

00:49:45.829 --> 00:49:48.829
to her like i never said i was you get to have

00:49:48.829 --> 00:49:52.969
the opportunity of translating please translate

00:49:52.969 --> 00:49:56.389
this into girl speak correct so uh they have

00:49:56.389 --> 00:49:58.929
a trip coming up and i've kind of talked to that

00:49:58.929 --> 00:50:02.380
um to her and like You know, here's the things

00:50:02.380 --> 00:50:04.699
that I see. And here's the things that she needs

00:50:04.699 --> 00:50:07.539
to know when she needs to understand. And she's

00:50:07.539 --> 00:50:09.159
a junior in high school. She's got her senior

00:50:09.159 --> 00:50:11.219
year coming up. I don't want to hear that. I

00:50:11.219 --> 00:50:17.000
know. I know. Tori's still 10 years old. Oh,

00:50:17.059 --> 00:50:22.199
yeah. Oh, I wish. I wish. So, but the whole idea

00:50:22.199 --> 00:50:25.500
that she needs to be focused on her future. Right.

00:50:25.880 --> 00:50:31.880
She does have a boyfriend. Nice kid. But still.

00:50:32.039 --> 00:50:35.199
But as a dad, I'm like, get out of here, man.

00:50:35.300 --> 00:50:37.619
What are you doing? And it's like, she's got

00:50:37.619 --> 00:50:40.400
to be intentional about her future. She needs

00:50:40.400 --> 00:50:42.539
to make the decisions that are best for her future,

00:50:42.659 --> 00:50:46.019
which may or may not be best for their current

00:50:46.019 --> 00:50:48.400
relationship. That's true. And that's a struggle

00:50:48.400 --> 00:50:50.320
and that's a challenge. And what does that look

00:50:50.320 --> 00:50:55.019
like? You know, as a dad. No dude, I don't care

00:50:55.019 --> 00:50:56.920
who he is, is ever going to be good enough for

00:50:56.920 --> 00:50:59.900
your little girl. No. He could be the most godly

00:50:59.900 --> 00:51:03.460
man in the world. He could have an amazing profession

00:51:03.460 --> 00:51:07.800
that could provide in ways that I've never been

00:51:07.800 --> 00:51:10.739
able to. He's still a chump. Yeah, allow her

00:51:10.739 --> 00:51:14.199
to be a true stay -at -home mom, raise their

00:51:14.199 --> 00:51:17.260
kids. Or what she wants. Raise them up godly.

00:51:17.420 --> 00:51:20.260
Yeah. He's still a bum. Bum. You're a bum. Get

00:51:20.260 --> 00:51:23.300
out. Sorry. You only have one thing on your mind.

00:51:23.400 --> 00:51:26.320
You're not going to get it here. Move on. Move

00:51:26.320 --> 00:51:28.940
on, dude. Uh, you see the shotgun show. Remember

00:51:28.940 --> 00:51:34.699
they do fly faster at curfew. So, um, man, I

00:51:34.699 --> 00:51:37.719
saw, I'd never watched, uh, is it justified?

00:51:38.260 --> 00:51:44.519
That's the, um, series that has the, um, cowboy

00:51:44.519 --> 00:51:47.300
cop. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Raylan. Yeah.

00:51:47.300 --> 00:51:51.610
Something. Anyway, uh, He said, pay attention.

00:51:51.929 --> 00:51:57.769
He flicked like he racked his pistol and the

00:51:57.769 --> 00:52:01.809
shell comes out and he grabs it and throws it

00:52:01.809 --> 00:52:03.730
at the guy. He said, the next one comes faster.

00:52:04.309 --> 00:52:10.300
I was like, oh, geez. Yeah. Shots fired. One

00:52:10.300 --> 00:52:12.039
of these days, I'm going to get to say something

00:52:12.039 --> 00:52:16.920
cool like that. Yes. But Michelle gets to kind

00:52:16.920 --> 00:52:18.719
of have those conversations with her, and that's

00:52:18.719 --> 00:52:20.940
great. She should hear it from her mom. There's

00:52:20.940 --> 00:52:22.380
certain things that she shouldn't hear from her

00:52:22.380 --> 00:52:25.000
dad. Sure. There's some things that she needs

00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:27.820
to hear from dad. Sure, but she'll receive certain

00:52:27.820 --> 00:52:29.980
things better from mom. From mom than from dad,

00:52:30.099 --> 00:52:33.760
yes. Because dad is just dad, and he just doesn't

00:52:33.760 --> 00:52:36.039
understand, and he doesn't know what it means

00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:38.800
to be a lady. You're right, I don't. You're absolutely

00:52:38.800 --> 00:52:40.329
right. I know what it means to be a man. But

00:52:40.329 --> 00:52:42.989
that doesn't invalidate where I'm coming from.

00:52:43.150 --> 00:52:45.809
Just need you to know, I know these little twerps

00:52:45.809 --> 00:52:48.949
better than you do. Oh, boy, do I ever. I was

00:52:48.949 --> 00:52:51.590
there. I know. And I'm not saying, like, I'm

00:52:51.590 --> 00:52:54.650
not even making the cliche about the, like, they

00:52:54.650 --> 00:52:56.449
only want one thing. That's not what I'm talking

00:52:56.449 --> 00:53:00.889
about. They're just morons. They're stupid. They

00:53:00.889 --> 00:53:05.679
are. They're self -centered. Yes. They don't

00:53:05.679 --> 00:53:07.639
know how to think about anybody but themselves.

00:53:08.019 --> 00:53:11.800
Correct. It'll come, but so help me. Yeah. It's

00:53:11.800 --> 00:53:15.659
going to take 30 more years. I was that guy until

00:53:15.659 --> 00:53:20.500
25 for sure. At a minimum. At a minimum. Obviously,

00:53:21.219 --> 00:53:23.139
I've still got some elements of that. We all

00:53:23.139 --> 00:53:26.280
do. Yeah, you've got to grow out of it. Well,

00:53:26.760 --> 00:53:29.760
we hope to grow out of it in time, but sometimes

00:53:29.760 --> 00:53:35.539
some things linger. Yeah. You know, I mean, whether

00:53:35.539 --> 00:53:40.960
it's tools or cars or whatever it may be, guys

00:53:40.960 --> 00:53:43.079
have the things that they want and they don't

00:53:43.079 --> 00:53:45.239
necessarily want to give up. Yeah. And I think

00:53:45.239 --> 00:53:48.900
even like, even if you've figured out the, like,

00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:50.900
I don't, I don't get the things that I want.

00:53:50.940 --> 00:53:52.920
They're not the biggest priority. It's the, like

00:53:52.920 --> 00:53:55.360
the moments for me, I don't know about everybody

00:53:55.360 --> 00:53:57.699
else. It's the moments that like you, you've

00:53:57.699 --> 00:54:04.039
given up a lot or you've, uh endured a lot it's

00:54:04.039 --> 00:54:08.840
like i deserve to be i deserve a little treat

00:54:08.840 --> 00:54:12.139
as my wife would say i'm i deserve a little treat

00:54:12.139 --> 00:54:17.960
yes and she's thinking like like a dairy queen

00:54:17.960 --> 00:54:23.260
blizzard yes and i'm thinking that five thousand

00:54:23.260 --> 00:54:25.719
dollar thing that i have not spent money on because

00:54:25.719 --> 00:54:29.300
i'm so proud of myself or not yes Falling into

00:54:29.300 --> 00:54:33.340
that temptation. Hey, I'm not asking for the

00:54:33.340 --> 00:54:37.559
$2 ,500 jointer. I'm asking for the $800 jointer.

00:54:37.639 --> 00:54:40.039
It's used. See how magnanimous I am. See what

00:54:40.039 --> 00:54:42.659
I've done here. It's such a good idea. Am I not

00:54:42.659 --> 00:54:46.840
generous? Am I not generous? Oh my gosh, that

00:54:46.840 --> 00:54:50.599
drove it home. That little Commodus reference

00:54:50.599 --> 00:54:54.679
there was great. Am I not merciful? Am I not

00:54:54.679 --> 00:54:59.250
generous? I hate that the dragon's milk is gone.

00:54:59.469 --> 00:55:02.409
Yeah, why is the rum always gone? I just took

00:55:02.409 --> 00:55:05.110
the last drink. I did. I had a moment with my

00:55:05.110 --> 00:55:07.849
wife the other day, and she didn't get it, which

00:55:07.849 --> 00:55:10.969
was really hard on me because when you make a

00:55:10.969 --> 00:55:15.150
joke with your wife and she doesn't catch the

00:55:15.150 --> 00:55:21.349
joke, it's not a good joke. But I made my kids

00:55:21.349 --> 00:55:24.650
drink all the Dr. Peppers in the house, and I

00:55:24.650 --> 00:55:28.889
was like, why is the rum gone? And she didn't

00:55:28.889 --> 00:55:33.510
understand what I was talking about. You don't

00:55:33.510 --> 00:55:40.309
like rum. Sure, but it's a metaphor. It's a metaphor.

00:55:40.590 --> 00:55:43.590
It's a metaphor for life. For life, for all of

00:55:43.590 --> 00:55:46.250
these things. Life, the universe, and everything.

00:55:47.690 --> 00:55:50.750
Dr. Pepper. It's the best stuff on earth, man.

00:55:50.849 --> 00:55:55.230
Not 42. No, no, no, no, no. I do genuinely hope,

00:55:55.289 --> 00:55:58.519
and I know I'm... I'm wrong, but I do genuinely

00:55:58.519 --> 00:56:00.599
hope that someday when we were in the new heaven

00:56:00.599 --> 00:56:04.400
and the new earth, that the river of life flows

00:56:04.400 --> 00:56:08.500
of Dr. Pepper. That would be absolutely amazing.

00:56:09.079 --> 00:56:11.019
Somehow it'll be more refreshing than that. And

00:56:11.019 --> 00:56:12.699
that's hard for me to believe. You know what

00:56:12.699 --> 00:56:16.019
I mean? Yes. On this side of eternity, it's very

00:56:16.019 --> 00:56:18.579
hard to imagine. Like there's a tree that the

00:56:18.579 --> 00:56:22.940
fruit is different every season or it's like

00:56:22.940 --> 00:56:26.179
a new. I was saying like every month, but I could

00:56:26.179 --> 00:56:29.000
be, I could be wrong, but yeah, it's a new, like,

00:56:29.079 --> 00:56:31.679
it's not just new. It's like a new, like a brand

00:56:31.679 --> 00:56:34.760
new flavor. New, new, new. And it's like, like

00:56:34.760 --> 00:56:38.699
new Coke. Only if it could just not be new Coke,

00:56:38.760 --> 00:56:44.480
that would be great. Yes. So yeah. Yeah. Anyway,

00:56:44.659 --> 00:56:50.380
that was a little spiritual dive for. Red Revelations.

00:56:50.380 --> 00:56:54.360
We very deeply tapped into politics at the beginning.

00:56:54.659 --> 00:56:58.280
And now, so that was the third rail at the beginning.

00:56:58.480 --> 00:57:03.239
And now we've grasped the other third rail, religion.

00:57:05.119 --> 00:57:10.400
I really want, there was a, gosh, I can't remember

00:57:10.400 --> 00:57:12.980
which of the comedians it was. It was either

00:57:12.980 --> 00:57:16.360
Jim Gaffigan or one of these newer guys that

00:57:16.360 --> 00:57:19.730
I can't remember his name. Got long blonde hair.

00:57:19.809 --> 00:57:22.329
Anyway, they said, I really want everybody to

00:57:22.329 --> 00:57:24.469
be comfortable, which is why I want to talk to

00:57:24.469 --> 00:57:27.650
you about my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And

00:57:27.650 --> 00:57:30.809
I'm like, I really do want you to tell us about

00:57:30.809 --> 00:57:33.469
your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, but I understand

00:57:33.469 --> 00:57:36.309
what you're saying. Yes, I see what you have

00:57:36.309 --> 00:57:37.969
accomplished here. Everybody almost got up and

00:57:37.969 --> 00:57:40.750
left because they're just so uncomfortable right

00:57:40.750 --> 00:57:45.590
now. Yes, yes, yes. Yes. I feel like it was Jim

00:57:45.590 --> 00:57:48.090
Gaffigan because they made the joke about the

00:57:48.090 --> 00:57:51.170
Pope being like, easy, man. Even I leave work

00:57:51.170 --> 00:57:58.210
at work. Yes. Oh, my gosh. Yes, yes. Aye, aye,

00:57:58.230 --> 00:58:01.570
aye. What a world. Oh, for sure. What a time

00:58:01.570 --> 00:58:07.710
to be a penguin. Yes. Yeah. You said you had

00:58:07.710 --> 00:58:11.269
some show. Yes, I do. I do. News. Announcements.

00:58:11.269 --> 00:58:13.329
We're obviously not getting into this bottle.

00:58:13.429 --> 00:58:14.989
Yeah, we're not going to make it to delirium.

00:58:14.989 --> 00:58:17.389
That's okay. We don't want to be too delirious

00:58:17.389 --> 00:58:20.449
on the way home. Not to be too revealing, but

00:58:20.449 --> 00:58:24.090
we have re -recorded half of this show. Yeah.

00:58:24.949 --> 00:58:28.730
Unfortunately, yes. Whoops. Yes, so. Stuff happens.

00:58:28.829 --> 00:58:30.230
Those of you who are listening, we'll see if

00:58:30.230 --> 00:58:33.269
you figure out where the cut is. I'll do the

00:58:33.269 --> 00:58:37.480
best that I can to hide it. Do you know where

00:58:37.480 --> 00:58:41.059
we stopped? Yes, indeed. It's 10 o 'clock. Do

00:58:41.059 --> 00:58:44.679
you know where your children are? Man, the fact

00:58:44.679 --> 00:58:47.840
that boomers had to be reminded that they had

00:58:47.840 --> 00:58:50.280
kids. Where are your kids, man? Listen, you have

00:58:50.280 --> 00:58:56.380
so medicated yourself. Lay off the alcohol, man.

00:58:56.460 --> 00:58:59.539
Where are your kids? Vietnam, PTSD, medicated

00:58:59.539 --> 00:59:02.179
yourself. Absolutely. You don't remember that

00:59:02.179 --> 00:59:05.820
you have children. Mama, get out of the Calgon.

00:59:06.019 --> 00:59:08.659
Where are your kids? Where are your kids? Yes.

00:59:08.780 --> 00:59:12.000
So, yeah, two announcements real quick in relation

00:59:12.000 --> 00:59:15.000
to the show. Okay. I think these are really good

00:59:15.000 --> 00:59:20.840
things. I bit the bullet and boost her back.

00:59:21.079 --> 00:59:24.860
Oh, man. Yeah, I bit the bullet. I went back

00:59:24.860 --> 00:59:28.860
with Albie Hubb. But I did the hosted Albie,

00:59:28.940 --> 00:59:32.500
not the self -hosted. Okay. So hopefully there

00:59:32.500 --> 00:59:35.960
will never again be any shenanigans about, oh,

00:59:35.960 --> 00:59:40.039
your Albie went offline. Oh, it's been offline

00:59:40.039 --> 00:59:46.239
for so long. Your channels. Thank you. Channels

00:59:46.239 --> 00:59:48.800
are gone. You need to pay money to reopen your

00:59:48.800 --> 00:59:52.139
channels. Those little jerks. Yeah, I bit the

00:59:52.139 --> 00:59:55.900
bullet. We're back. So thank you for biting that

00:59:55.900 --> 00:59:58.280
bullet. Basically it's, we're bringing back the

00:59:58.280 --> 01:00:01.159
Jason court segment of the show for the post

01:00:01.159 --> 01:00:04.800
part. Uh, but if you're listening and you are

01:00:04.800 --> 01:00:08.059
using a podcasting 2 .0 app, you can now boost

01:00:08.059 --> 01:00:11.079
the show. And if you're not using a podcast 2

01:00:11.079 --> 01:00:14.719
.0 app, shame on you. Yeah. You should switch.

01:00:14.760 --> 01:00:19.239
Give us a, get off the legacy Spotify and Apple

01:00:19.239 --> 01:00:23.059
podcast apps and get into a podcasting 2 .0 app.

01:00:23.309 --> 01:00:26.250
I know it's easier. I know it is. I don't...

01:00:26.250 --> 01:00:29.869
You know what? Strike that. It's not easier.

01:00:29.969 --> 01:00:32.750
Just listen on a different app. Yes, absolutely.

01:00:33.789 --> 01:00:40.030
Chapters, transcripts, boosts, eventually...

01:00:40.030 --> 01:00:43.449
Artwork. Yeah, artwork for every chapter. Yeah,

01:00:43.469 --> 01:00:47.650
I'm a big fan of visual. I love it. Not so much

01:00:47.650 --> 01:00:51.769
on the phone, but it is nice to see. But when

01:00:51.769 --> 01:00:54.250
you're in your car, and you're listening, and

01:00:54.250 --> 01:00:57.230
that artwork switches on the screen on your car.

01:00:57.429 --> 01:00:59.610
It's a big deal. That's kind of cool. I kind

01:00:59.610 --> 01:01:01.329
of like it. It's nice to be able to look down

01:01:01.329 --> 01:01:04.530
and be like, oh, that's the label of beer I'm

01:01:04.530 --> 01:01:06.590
looking for. Or that's the product that they're

01:01:06.590 --> 01:01:09.610
talking about. Okay, I can get this. And here's

01:01:09.610 --> 01:01:11.150
the thing that we've probably never discussed.

01:01:12.409 --> 01:01:15.449
In those chapters, specifically the ones on beer,

01:01:15.650 --> 01:01:20.889
on your phone or your computer, that image is

01:01:20.889 --> 01:01:24.250
clickable. Yes, it is. And it takes you to the

01:01:24.250 --> 01:01:26.170
site. Have we really not? I don't know that we

01:01:26.170 --> 01:01:27.610
ever have, to be honest. That's a big deal, yeah.

01:01:27.730 --> 01:01:31.889
No, you can take it. You can join us in reading

01:01:31.889 --> 01:01:35.809
the blurb about the beer. So if you click on

01:01:35.809 --> 01:01:38.389
that image of that particular beer, it takes

01:01:38.389 --> 01:01:41.030
you to the site of the company that makes the

01:01:41.030 --> 01:01:44.070
beer. Order that bad boy. Sure. You put some

01:01:44.070 --> 01:01:47.449
of them you can order direct. And some of the

01:01:47.449 --> 01:01:49.940
products. We try to put the links there for the

01:01:49.940 --> 01:01:52.360
product as well, whether we've talked about a

01:01:52.360 --> 01:01:56.719
RODECaster, the RODECaster video. Which is still

01:01:56.719 --> 01:01:59.480
not quite where we want it to be. No, we'll see

01:01:59.480 --> 01:02:00.840
what happens. But we're going to talk about the

01:02:00.840 --> 01:02:05.000
core. Hopefully soon in the future. Soon in the

01:02:05.000 --> 01:02:07.260
future. That's kind of the fun thing. But the

01:02:07.260 --> 01:02:10.260
other thing that comes with podcasting 2 .0 apps,

01:02:10.420 --> 01:02:15.179
which dovetails into the other item, is live.

01:02:15.849 --> 01:02:20.389
Yes. I have resurrected my attempt at live. Nice.

01:02:20.530 --> 01:02:25.730
I have signed up with Linode, which is a part

01:02:25.730 --> 01:02:31.510
of Akamai. Okay. To run a very, very minimal

01:02:31.510 --> 01:02:36.630
server that will run a software called Owncast.

01:02:36.889 --> 01:02:41.059
Owncast. hls stream okay which is what's needed

01:02:41.059 --> 01:02:43.960
for live yes uh it's not just good for audio

01:02:43.960 --> 01:02:48.300
it's also good for video nice so laying that

01:02:48.300 --> 01:02:51.539
future foundation soon as we can get this so

01:02:51.539 --> 01:02:54.260
um i'm going to play around system work it out

01:02:54.260 --> 01:02:57.539
correct i'm going to play around with it locally

01:02:57.539 --> 01:03:01.690
on a pc at my house get comfortable with it and

01:03:01.690 --> 01:03:05.730
then spin it up in Linode, which would make it

01:03:05.730 --> 01:03:08.349
in the cloud. And then we will do what we need

01:03:08.349 --> 01:03:12.489
to do here, which will probably require a computer.

01:03:12.650 --> 01:03:16.289
But we will take the output of the RODECaster,

01:03:16.449 --> 01:03:21.190
send that up to our own cast server at Linode,

01:03:21.250 --> 01:03:24.929
and then that would then stream live. And so

01:03:24.929 --> 01:03:27.929
this is, again, why you need a Podcasting 2 .0

01:03:27.929 --> 01:03:30.619
app. Not going to get it. It will notify you

01:03:30.619 --> 01:03:33.820
when we go live. Wouldn't that be nice? And you

01:03:33.820 --> 01:03:36.840
click it and you're in and you can listen to

01:03:36.840 --> 01:03:39.940
the show live. As it's happening. As it's happening.

01:03:40.980 --> 01:03:44.840
No edits, no redos. Which will be a full week

01:03:44.840 --> 01:03:47.380
ahead of everybody else. Correct. You're going

01:03:47.380 --> 01:03:50.079
to get to catch it early because we generally

01:03:50.079 --> 01:03:54.019
release the Tuesday following whatever day we

01:03:54.019 --> 01:03:56.780
record. Yeah. Today happens to be a Wednesday.

01:03:57.500 --> 01:04:00.159
But it will release on Tuesday of next week.

01:04:00.219 --> 01:04:02.559
But yeah, you can listen in live. And this is

01:04:02.559 --> 01:04:04.940
where the boosts get interesting. Because you

01:04:04.940 --> 01:04:09.099
could boost while we're live. We can see your

01:04:09.099 --> 01:04:11.400
boost. We can see the message that you include

01:04:11.400 --> 01:04:14.300
in the boost. And we now can communicate with

01:04:14.300 --> 01:04:17.619
you live. Yeah. Wouldn't that be great? Which

01:04:17.619 --> 01:04:21.159
changes everything. Yeah. We're not just talking

01:04:21.159 --> 01:04:23.800
to each other. Which is fine. We may be talking

01:04:23.800 --> 01:04:26.989
to you. For the foreseeable future, it could

01:04:26.989 --> 01:04:31.210
be us chatting with Jason. Sorry, Jason. So we

01:04:31.210 --> 01:04:33.449
need more of you to get involved. Jason knows

01:04:33.449 --> 01:04:35.349
where we're recording this. If he wants to come

01:04:35.349 --> 01:04:37.510
talk to us, he can just come talk to us. But

01:04:37.510 --> 01:04:40.090
I'm looking forward eventually to the day that

01:04:40.090 --> 01:04:42.929
we're sitting here having this conversation and

01:04:42.929 --> 01:04:46.849
we get a near real -time boost from Jason. Wouldn't

01:04:46.849 --> 01:04:48.550
that be fun? And he's interacting with something

01:04:48.550 --> 01:04:51.130
that we just said. I'm looking forward to the

01:04:51.130 --> 01:04:54.199
day that we have a near real -time. with somebody

01:04:54.199 --> 01:04:58.239
who we don't know. Correct. Yeah. Correct. So,

01:04:58.320 --> 01:05:02.019
but with this. Somebody in Amsterdam. That would

01:05:02.019 --> 01:05:03.800
be intriguing. Or Australia. Somebody around

01:05:03.800 --> 01:05:06.539
the world, yes. You know how hard it was to finally

01:05:06.539 --> 01:05:07.980
get that Australian hit on the downloads. It

01:05:07.980 --> 01:05:10.599
was important, yeah. It completed the set. We

01:05:10.599 --> 01:05:13.820
got all of the continents where people are most

01:05:13.820 --> 01:05:15.820
likely downloading podcasts. Come on, Oceania.

01:05:16.920 --> 01:05:22.910
Yes. There's still no Antarctica. Correct. Those

01:05:22.910 --> 01:05:25.329
penguins are just really... They just don't listen

01:05:25.329 --> 01:05:28.030
to podcasts. Anti -beer and gear is what they

01:05:28.030 --> 01:05:31.070
are. Yeah, they are. But eventually what could

01:05:31.070 --> 01:05:37.329
happen with the live is the magic of the Rodecaster

01:05:37.329 --> 01:05:43.329
Video S. Or some other product. We could be streaming

01:05:43.329 --> 01:05:49.750
video in real time to YouTube or whatever. Other

01:05:49.750 --> 01:05:52.530
platform we want to send that out to. Not to

01:05:52.530 --> 01:05:55.349
be contrarian here, but Rode, get your stuff

01:05:55.349 --> 01:05:57.269
together. Correct. Come on, guys. You got to

01:05:57.269 --> 01:05:59.849
help us out here. But the idea that we're bringing

01:05:59.849 --> 01:06:02.969
this show to new platforms that will hopefully

01:06:02.969 --> 01:06:06.349
grow the show. Right. Because in a perfect world,

01:06:06.550 --> 01:06:10.170
we'd love this to become our day job. I mean,

01:06:10.190 --> 01:06:11.849
wouldn't that be awesome? I'd be all down for

01:06:11.849 --> 01:06:15.090
that. Yeah. Get into product reviews. Yeah. And

01:06:15.090 --> 01:06:18.590
more of that. And then kind of let this. go and

01:06:18.590 --> 01:06:23.750
then yeah we're literally getting paid to shoot

01:06:23.750 --> 01:06:26.449
the breeze consulting on tech if you're not a

01:06:26.449 --> 01:06:29.329
part of the solution might as well be part of

01:06:29.329 --> 01:06:35.309
the problem yes so that would be amazing um we'll

01:06:35.309 --> 01:06:37.690
see what happens with that over time so but that's

01:06:37.690 --> 01:06:39.329
kind of the two big announcements on the show

01:06:39.329 --> 01:06:43.690
is boosts are officially back so jason you got

01:06:43.690 --> 01:06:46.420
your segment back We're looking for you to send

01:06:46.420 --> 01:06:48.519
the boost before the next show. Come on. And

01:06:48.519 --> 01:06:51.219
if you don't send a boost, we're going to ride

01:06:51.219 --> 01:06:52.539
you pretty hard. Send some cheese. Yeah, send

01:06:52.539 --> 01:06:55.820
some cheese. But we might still give you a hard

01:06:55.820 --> 01:06:59.400
time because you didn't send the boost. Papa's

01:06:59.400 --> 01:07:03.159
cheese and boost. And the boost, yes. We've upped

01:07:03.159 --> 01:07:07.820
the ante. I have recorded this show with Papa's

01:07:07.820 --> 01:07:11.900
cheese now. I don't know that I'm really feeling

01:07:11.900 --> 01:07:13.760
the same about the show without it. Without it,

01:07:13.760 --> 01:07:16.179
true. True. And if I hadn't just had dinner.

01:07:16.280 --> 01:07:19.260
This show brought to you by Papa's Cheese. Papa's

01:07:19.260 --> 01:07:23.940
Cheese. Yeah. Dot com. Dot com. Dot net. Wait,

01:07:23.940 --> 01:07:27.360
which one did you buy? What's that? Didn't you

01:07:27.360 --> 01:07:31.079
buy one? Papa's Cheese? No, I did not. He did.

01:07:31.260 --> 01:07:33.539
Oh, he did? He did. I don't know what domain.

01:07:33.820 --> 01:07:36.300
Dot edu. He very well may have been able to get

01:07:36.300 --> 01:07:38.519
Papa's Cheese dot com. I don't know. Papa's Cheese

01:07:38.519 --> 01:07:42.840
dot info. Dot info, yes. Papa's Cheese dot cheese.

01:07:44.049 --> 01:07:46.829
There are a lot of different dots now. Yeah.

01:07:47.050 --> 01:07:50.110
It's not as fun anymore. Papa cheese dot life.

01:07:51.409 --> 01:07:55.869
Dot show. Dot show. That wouldn't be bad. Anyway.

01:07:56.150 --> 01:07:59.150
So, but yeah. Yeah. Who knows where the show

01:07:59.150 --> 01:08:02.710
goes? Even if the show does not become an exit

01:08:02.710 --> 01:08:06.369
strategy, that's okay with me. We'll keep, we'll

01:08:06.369 --> 01:08:08.139
keep, we'll have fun. Still fun to do it. It's

01:08:08.139 --> 01:08:10.920
always good to have a reason to drink beer. Drink

01:08:10.920 --> 01:08:14.059
beer and talk to you. I'm in. Talk and chat.

01:08:14.539 --> 01:08:17.659
Thanks, brother. I enjoyed it, man. Always good

01:08:17.659 --> 01:08:19.479
to talk to you. Yeah, good seeing you again,

01:08:19.539 --> 01:08:43.050
John. See ya. See ya. Is it always this good?
