Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Hey, everybody, it is that time again. Drinks with DD
that they're plastic. But we we had a wonderful, wonderful
trip to a great place in all is it North Carolina?
North Carolina? The Builtmore is there. I think we posted

(00:38):
some pictures from there, and we got some builtmore estate,
red blend Veno and uh I got white. We had
way there was a deal going on. So we got
got a couple of reds, got a white because DD
doesn't really drink white wine. And then we got a
champagne and these lovely there are quite lovely. Actually we

(01:01):
travel travel glasses. So there we go. You love you too, well,
Here we are and here it is, here we are.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Let me fit this exactly right what our president, our
amazing President Trump said about Mondani situation. And so it.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Begins, and so it begins.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
I can't believe it.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
So here is a my gosh, New York. What in
the ever love and hell are you thinking? Or do
you think that they because have you seen the picture
of the ballot? And I don't want to sound like
oh well, I don't want to sound like sour grapes
because the guy won and the guy won by uh
it seems like me. Well, but it seems like largely

(01:48):
it's kind of the the tragically uninformed, uh entitled crowd
that voted him in.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Well slim one was the problem. I mean, we beg
President Trump, bet Elon mus beg. Okay, here's our hat
this week.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
This week, this is the hat because we have no use.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
No use for red beret right now, we have no
use for this hat I like to travel with.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
This's actually hit me.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Oh my gosh, that's scary.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
There you go. But I did not take any votes
away from sanity, and I realized, yes, Cuomo has all
of his issues too. But like we said last week,
oh wait, like we said, there we go. Like we
said last week, the the the enemy, you know, is

(02:43):
oftentimes better than the enemy. You don't know. But what's
what's going to happen now? And now we get to
see you know, they're so clever.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, questions ahead easy this week.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Joe PESHI would say, go ahead, guys, this week.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
I still can't believe it as I'm looking at the
red beret anyway, what is you are? The questions? The
hat this week? The red beret? And I won't wear
a red beret general, but just not right now. I
can't do it, not in the mood for it. So anyway, anyway,

(03:25):
red beret, what is the biggest residence in our country?
And where is it? What is the biggest residence in
our country? And where is it? And you will be
the winner of this red beret.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
It's actually brand new. We bought this.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
It's very very nice, brand new. It's very new to us.
But is it a brand new?

Speaker 2 (03:45):
I've never worn it. I have another red beret, but
that one. We wanted to support the basque museum, so
I bought a black beret and a red one, and
I already have them to fit better. But anyway, that's
part of a kind of a basque up outfit, I guess.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Oh yeah, what a great little We went to the restaurant,
we took pictures there, went to the restaurant, and then
we went to the little museum for a minute, and
then we went to a basque bar because we were
looking for some sort of uh original, authentic bas and

(04:23):
we got it. I don't remember what it was, but
this is fantastic. So this is and what is your question?
What is the.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Largest residence in our country.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Talking about square feet, you're talking about the largest So.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
The largest residence in America, the largest home? Correct? And
where is it?

Speaker 1 (04:41):
And where is it?

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Where is it? And what is it?

Speaker 1 (04:46):
So? Where is it? And what is it?

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:48):
So it's another two parter. You're tricky with these two
parts though. Okay, Well it's easy because you.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Know the answer. This one's easy. Last week not so much.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
But did somebody get it last week?

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (05:00):
What was the question? And what was the answer.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
The most haunted place in America? And where and where
is it?

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Well? Right now, it's Manhattan.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, but it's Saint Augustine. And it was the Florida, Florida.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Saint Augustine, Florida.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
The oldest city in America. And it was like a
it's like a fort basically, it's called something custya. It's
the two or three or four people got to ride.
I don't I don't like to give out the names
because sometimes people may not like that. But we do
have a winner, and you will receive your hat.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
And that was the the Sherlock Holmes kind of looking hat. Right, Yeah,
I love that hat. Didn't fit me or it wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Be in Yeah, I love that hat though. I like
all the hats, although I'm not in the moon for
the Red Bea RT this week. But it's a beautiful
hat and it's brand new, and it helps support the
Basque Museum.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yep, terrific.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
We love history and the Basque history, history of folks.
The movie here, we are living in history, living Rica. Yep,
we're living in history being made right now. Well, I
will tell you all that if you want to see
John in New York, you've probably have one chance, for.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
A very long one shot left. How long is the
mayoral term? Only two years? Right? Is it two years? O?

Speaker 2 (06:16):
God? Well, it's not good. I mean he could destroy
New York for an hour. I mean seriously, Well, he's.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Already he's already kind of toughing up against the President Trump.
You know, So what's here's here's what's going to happen
That this guy is going to uh, while he claims
doesn't need or want or have anything to do with
the federal government, of course when it comes time for
all these free things to be paid, the president is

(06:47):
going to say no. And he already said it. He
already told New York said, look if we saw it
in the sixty minutes the interview, he said, Look, if
this guy wins, it's going to be very difficult for
me to let go of any any funding for New
York because it's New York City, because it won't go
to the people. He said, I know, I know what
this guy is doing. This is communist, this is socialism,
This is not this is not what we want. This

(07:07):
is what people died to keep out of our country.
And we just voted, or you just voted this self
proclaimed At least he's not trying to hide it. So
here's to him for at least being honest about his
hating everything we stand for. But here's what's going to happen.
He's going to go to He's going to have some great,

(07:28):
grandiose plan that includes everybody else paying for people's things,
are people who don't want to work or illegals. Again,
I don't know where he stands on that. I know,
actually I do know where he stands on He wants
to pay for them too, And he wants the hard working,
wealthy people to pay for all the people who aren't
willing to work and who don't have a green card

(07:48):
and all of that, blah blah blah. But the President
is going to say no, and then the Democrats are
going to turn around and say, well, of course mondomni mom,
Donnie's policies aren't working. There being sabotaged by the president. Well, bullshit,
come on, it's just ridiculous. Shame on you, New York.
And how about shame on you, shame on you, shame

(08:10):
shame how.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
That Curtis steal whatever? How could you not get out
when you know you couldn't win. I mean, my theory
is of my pinma, I don't know a legendly.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Well, we should be able to prove that. And look,
I hope, I hope that we're wrong. I hope that
there's something, there's something about this guy that we have
not seen. I don't think so. Of course, nobody ever
thinks they're wrong. I am. I'm pretty damn sure that's
not the case. But John Fetterman, Okay, John Fetterman I

(08:44):
thought was a total embarrassment all things politics. And now
I think John Fetterman has become, oddly enough the voice
of reason for the Democrat parties. And now you've got
and of course they're they're upset with him, and they're
wanting to get rid of him, I think. So we've
got the voice of reason in the in the Democrat Party,
which is John Fetterman. Never would have expected that. And

(09:05):
now we've got a self proclaimed areas on TV right there,
self proclaimed socialist democrat, socialist slash communist who refuses to
say anything against the people who slammed airplanes into the
World Trade centers right there, the crown jewel of the

(09:29):
city he is now the mayor of and he doesn't
have the intestinal fortitude to say what they did on
September eleventh, two thousand and one was wrong. Won't even
say that, you know. So you know, we'll see, we'll
see what happens here. But you know, I got kind
of upset in California when people said, wow, this is

(09:51):
what California's voted for, so and that. Now we got
Prop fifty that went through, So that's redistricting redistricting out there.
But we have people that say, well, it's what California
voted for, so they deserve what they get. Well, I
got upset with that because California is mainly agriculture. You know,
there's these hot spots of densely populated places and they

(10:13):
have all the say sadly. So I think that's a
little different because Manhattan is a is probably the most
densely populated is it the most densely populated city in
our in our country? So it was Manhattan. It was
Manhattan that voted this guy in. So there's no there's
no soybean farmers on Fifth Avenue, you know. So they

(10:36):
there may be, but they're living in their high rise,
their town home.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Well you're gonna find out New York. Good luck with
that because guess what.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
And like I said, I hope I'm wrong. I hope
I'm wrong.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Well, we'll be there December for the last hurrah. Yeah,
the last hurrah. I mean, why we want to go
back to New York with this guy? I mean, he
doesn't want any cops. He he speaks ill of.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
You said crime was an intellectual construct. I saw him.
I saw him say it.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
It's insane, So christ.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
So you know, I'm sorry, I'm wrong. All these times
when somebody sticks a gun on your face and takes
your wallet, that's not crime. That's an intellectual construct. I'm
just calling it crime because I guess somehow the the
person needs the wallet more than I do. Is that
is that what you you say, Zorhan? Is that? What
is that his name? Soorhan Orhan orhand?

Speaker 2 (11:35):
No, just like the New York Post.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
So let's get off of that.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Uh definitely comes see us December fifth.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yeah, at the the get this right, because it's not
the thirty nine steps that's particular. They are particular as
well they should be.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yeah, we've been having a great time out on the road.
We went through my gosh, the very heart and soul,
the birthplace of southern rock, and a shame on me
for not knowing this, but it's making Georgia, and that's
where the Almond Brothers came from. It's it's their music,
of course, inspired Lenard Skinnered, inspired Marshall Tucker Band, inspired

(12:17):
so many people, inspired me. And I don't think once
we got we were looking for kind of downtown. Once
we got we got a little off track. I don't
believe I've seen so many beautiful eighteen fifty mansions ever
in a row, one after the other after the other,

(12:39):
beautiful big columns, and so it's wonderful place so make
and I think it's gets a bad rap, but if
you are in that area, you've got to take a
driving tour and look around. So I'm going to be
in the green room forty two, green Room forty two.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
It's on the west side.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
It's on the west side. Is second five seventy Well,
wait a minute, is that it five seventy tenth Avenue,
New York, New York. Yeah, okay, five seventy tenth Avenue,
New York, New York. We will will put a link
in the in the description of the podcast below.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
It's a room it's.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Gonna be doing some Christmas song, is gonna be doing.
It's gonna be doing my My My video show. And
so that means that Johnny Cash will be in it.
It means that Ray Charles will be in it. It
means you're gonna see some trailers for some movies that
have happened over the years. My very first video ever,
which happened to be the very first country music video ever.

(13:39):
Did I get a thank you note from country music? No?
Am I am? I on the Christmas list?

Speaker 2 (13:44):
No, but for almost and it's way better here.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
This is you when you're asleep, and he knows when
you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake. You better watch out.
You better better.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
I come in to.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Shave and a haircuts. Anyhow, it'll be.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
A lot of fun.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
And you gotta sing along. I want you to sing along.
But then we're gonna put We're gonna put some gas
in the car in Old Royal and head our head
our butts out of Manhattan. Uh when it starts right, well,
it's actually gonna start, it's already gonna start.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
But December fifth can work good. But after that, I
know we're not going back for a while. We're not.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
We'll go to New York State and uh yeah, So
New York State is a beautiful state, and New York
Manhattan is a beautiful, beautiful city. It is, and it's
a wonderful city. It's just you know, a dear pastor
friend of mine years ago said that the natural state
of the garden is weeds. So when you when you leave,

(14:58):
when you leave things or or large groups of people
up entirely up to their own devices, and of course
we are free. But when you leave large groups of people,
especially who are are packed so densely like in Manhattan,
you leave them up solely to their own devices. By
by minimizing law enforcement, by minimizing rules and law like

(15:21):
in Atlanta. We're in Marietta right now, and oh my gosh,
this is the best, the best municipalalk off course I've
ever played at right here at the Hilton. What's it
called the Hilton. It's a conference center.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah, like Hilton City Road.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
Wonderful. But when you leave people entirely up to their
own devices, there is a historic tendency for things to
go wrong because the people who aren't going to do
anything wrong, it's just going to be, you know, going
to be fine. They're kind of the little flowers that

(16:00):
are in the garden, but the snakes in the garden.
But the when the weeds, the weeds go I'm not
calling people weeds, so don't give me. Don't give me that.
But you know, you not. You have to go out
to your garden. You got to pull the weeds out.
You got to you gotta maintain your garden well when
you don't. And that's what this one of the many
myriad of things that this gentleman is proposing, no longer proposing,

(16:24):
he's going to try to enforce. It can go bad quickly.
So I'm hoping it seems didn't we hear the other
day that the the governor of New York was actually
not on board with so she's I don't want to
get that.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
It's a very difficult opponent. When we can possibly have
a Republican governor, Well, wouldn't that be nice in the
state of New York.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
That's who it was.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
It's she's step on it, and she's amazing. She's young
and very bright and just a huge star in Congress.
But boy, would be wonderful for her to be the governor.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Yes, that's the one. She's the one who said if
she becomes governor, she is going to She's I don't
know what the power of with the separation of power is.
I don't know that she can stop anything that he's
doing in Manhattan, but she can certainly not help push
something forward. So sometimes just not helping is the same
as stopping. And hopefully that'll happen there. But we'll see,

(17:20):
we'll see what he's got to say. You know, now
there's no longer a popularity contest, So now we should
see the real guy. He should he should show his
uh what do they say, show his soft underbelly. We'll
see what he's really about. But we've been having a
great what you're doing.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Well, I'm asking for a little later checkout so they
don't knock on the door during our podcast. Oh that's all. Sorry,
but I'm trying to get a little later.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
A little later. Okay, I thought we did. We didn't
say that last night, Okay, So anyway, we've been having
a great time. We went to Macon, we went to.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Good Belt, Moore said, and we had a wonderful event,
the Savannah Power Sports and the line. I took two
pictures of the line, but the first one and then
it was two hours later.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
But to show you talked over it.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
That line went through twice. I mean it was started
the line, and then I went back a couple hours
later and we couldn't even get to everyone. So we
will be back in the area next spring a couple
of times at least. We spent a lot of time
in Georgia this next year.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
We absolutely are. I'm going to send this to Tony too.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
So and the tour is going well. John is singing
all over the country and we're.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
Trying to make a living. And you had the best.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Back the Big House. We went by the Big House.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
We went by the Big house. We couldn't pull over.
The gate was closed and there was no room to
pull over in front of the big house. And yeah
it was.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
But we've been having a.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Ball, not what we expected.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
And we are going over the Jolly Onld, England this weekend.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
That's right, we certainly are. We're going to Jolly. Oh
that's not very good. Good, Well, you want the one
from the outside in right with the inside out.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
They're both good, but I think that one.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Might be a little all right, you talk to the folks.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
I find the people were so nice and they really
wanted to meet John. And John was you know, trying
to get through at basketball. We cauldn't get through to everybody.
You know. That happened, Uh damn at Somerset. You know,
John just as popular and these folks come out and
they want to they wanted to say mature and they
couldn't have been nicer. But we just you know, didn't

(19:43):
get through to everyone. And when we come back, because
I can find it, get there early.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yeah yeah, yeah, uh Tony, I'm sending this to you
right now, Tony. There we go. Yeah, it was a
whole lot of fun in their uh uh stuff they
have there for sale, the four wheel drive, the four wheelers,
the side by side.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
The beautiful store.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
I don't know if you call them skids or jet
skis or what in the world you call them, but
they were beautiful. And they had some really crazy things
in the back that hadn't been put together yet that
looked like I would call it a sand rail, so
the lawn long vehicles made out of all like roll
cage material. It looked really great. That people were wonderful.

(20:28):
The owner has a general lead, which was great. And
how many generally showed up like three maybe outside three
or four?

Speaker 2 (20:36):
I think maybe that's right. It was three generally, isn't
And dais.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
I didn't see the daisy gep. I didn't get to
go outside very much. But it was a whole lot
of fun and the people were great. The store was great,
and Savannah was great. DEDI have never been to Savannah.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Yeah, I've been in Charleston, but for some reason, never
made Savannah. And it's really special because they have all
these squares at the city. I think they look more
flowers because we're almost round about an square.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
We have all plants. It a long long time ago,
beautiful magnolia trees in the center of them, so so pretty.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
We had the old pink house that we did.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
We we got in there just in time, got our
two seats at the end of the bars, and a
crazy dame at the end of the bar.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
The bars, and honey, that's a crazy dame.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
She's at the end of the bar. She's still crazy.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Go figure, right, honey.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Yeah, we have we do have fun every day. We
need to have fun every day. So do you want
more of this?

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Just a little bit and a little bit more wine.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
And a little bit more wine. So what else did
we do?

Speaker 2 (21:41):
We we don't forget that.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
We went and we went Hilton Head and went golfing.
I hadn't been to hillary Head, uh, I think I
went once in the eighties. Beautiful course, but it was
a beautiful chorus. Oyster Oyster Bay, I think Oyster Wreath.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
And and then we also go to Bay. We usually
they are down in Dustin. I'd like to get back
down there.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yeah, But we we went and played golf, had a
great time playing golf, and.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Any other suggestions always bring it up, but it's so
important because I have to tell you we do listen
to what your suggestions are for restaurants or historic landmarks
or whatever special in your state.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
We tried to go to mccrackens Tavern Pub last night
or yesterday, but it wasn't wasn't open yet, and then
we were a little too tired after a round golf here. Yeah,
we play a lot of golf. We do. We do.

Speaker 2 (22:39):

it'll have been last night at an event at the
Nashville Speedway. So we're part of a group that's trying
to make sure that the Nashville Speedway doesn't go away
there a long time. If you ever part of fanfare

(23:02):

the Speedway and the fair grounds.

We saw the Biltmore on the way. It was on
the way right, it was not on the way back.

so they're all about it. They're already uh decorated.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
For Christmas time because apparently I haven't read the whole thing.
The Vanderbilts used to do that. They used to have
a big Christmas party every year, absolutely open. The one
tradition that has has kept going this whole time, through
some ups and downs economically, for that family has been
celebrating Christmas. So I think that's really great and maybe

(24:09):
we'll be there for part of it, don't know.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
I would love to do that.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yeah, well that may be they may be sold out
years in advance.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Yeah, we may not be able to get in, but
you know when we.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
May have to look at it on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Where there's a will, there's a way. And also if anyone,
I mean, I know this is a very broad, big question,
but if anyone has any contacts at Saint Andrew's, let
us know. That's the oldest golf course in the world,
first one. That's what we're told, that's what we understand
last week.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
I don't know if we did or not.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
Maybe, but do you have any contacts? I mean, we're
check it out. I haven't scoured my.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Contact I heard yesterday somebody said, well, you have to
provide them with your handicap, like proof of your handicap,
so it might mean you have to be a fairly
good golf US one. You're out.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
We did. We would love to play golf in Scotland
because of course Scotland is where it all started. And
I'm sure any of.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
The courts New Scotland, why did you give us golf.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
On you?

Speaker 1 (25:16):
So we had we had a great time, and then
we came back through Atlanta and UH got to drive
up Roswell Road and I got to do that thing
that old people do. Oh yeah, there, of course they're
tearing down the high school. I think it's hard to

(25:37):
used to the high school sat up on a hill.
It still does, but but it's been so long that
the trees are all now very mature, and you can't
see the high school. It looks like it's up there
in the middle of the woods. But a friend of
mine who went to high school with said that they are.
They're building a new high school, so they may have
already torn the old one down. And then Gary is
part of Gary. Gary is part of the rebuild, and

(26:00):
he's going to uh, he's going to get me, excuse me,
like a brick from the old quad or something, so
I can have, you know, a piece of my high
school as a paperweight.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
And they're coming to New York, so we'll see them there.
Maybe he'll bring your brick.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Maybe he'll bring my You might need to have a brick.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
And I got a rock.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
I got a rock. Well, you know, I think that
might be good. But so we went through there and
I got to see all the places. Couldn't get into
any of the apartment complexes where my mother and I
live because they're all gated. Now the apartments are the same,
but the gates are new. And that, of course is
in Fulton County, which got into a whole lot of
mess in the last couple of years. And we'll see,

(26:42):
we'll see what happens. I don't know what else to
talk about. I'm so frustrated about New York.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Yeah, sitting here something else. It was a little disappointment,
not big like New York. But we watched the Blue
jayslay the Dodgers and Blue Jays lost.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
But that was yes, but what a World Series? Oh
my yeah, I was I was thinking, I think everybody
was thinking that the Blue Jays were gonna win. Uh,
and then that that fell up got that home run.
It was like, tied it up and no, god, he

(27:20):
got the home run and they.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
But he thought the Blue Jays would win when the
bases were pretty much loaded and then they didn't bring
anybody in.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
I was like, oh no, well yeah yeah. And then
I think that weird play, the weird play at home
plate where the oh gosh, it would pame up and
then down and there was a little dust and stuff.
And I always thought, I don't know if this is true.
And in professional sports, but I always thought that the tie,

(27:50):
if it was an actual tie, that that went to
the runner. I thought it did, and that all looked
like a tie to me. Maybe that maybe that's just
my my little league rules and regulations, which you know
has been been.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
A while a little different now, you never know.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
I don't know, ty goes to the runner, Ty goes
the runner. We always used to yell. But that World
Series was amazing. That home run that came in and
then uh, the Blue Jays made a fantastic double play
where the first baseman caught the ball and before he
stepped on the bag he had the wherewithal to throw
at the second base, so they got the second basement out. Benny,

(28:29):
he put on no that was that was one of them.
That was the guy that caught the caught the bounce
ball and and and threw it. That was pretty great, too, wonderful,
wonderful play is the the double play that that that
took the Blue Jays out finally at the end was
was brilliant. I hated to see it, but there it was.
So congratulations to all you Dodger fans. That's thee Is

(28:51):
it the only time somebody has won two back to
has one back to batal series anyway. You know, having
lived in Los ANGEELUS for so long, I'm of course
old enough that I was part of the Timula Soda Dodgers.
I was there and you know, hanging out and having
having great time watching baseball when Fernando Valenzuela was there. Yeah. Yeah,

(29:14):
that was amazing, amazing stuff. So it was starting to
watch the Super Bowl in the before that.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
It was the Brooklyn Dodgers. People who do not forgive
the Dodgers for leaving Brooklyn.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Archie Bunker, saying about it, go and watch the Dodgers play.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yeah, so, but you know, congratulations to the Blue Jays
as well. But John was having fun with that that night.
I'm like, honey, it's all the John Schneider night. So
they kept paying John Schneider.

Speaker 1 (29:40):
And some folks are sure what John Schneider's wanting to
do about that?

Speaker 2 (29:43):
One, I would think, and John Lendoy it was just
funny to us, and then other people would say yeah,
every time they would say that in the World Series,
they thought of Duke's ambassador, right, So not a terrible thing.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Nope, nope. So I posted a picture of John Schneider
from the Seattle Seahawks, and I can congratulating John Schneider
from the Blue Jays. And then I also text my
other buddy, John Schneider, Rob Schneider's brother, and I said, hey,
do you want to join in on this? And he said,
I don't do Facebook, but so he joined in on
it too, So we had we had three John Schneider's

(30:16):
legitimately complimenting a fourth John Schneider. And then I don't
know if Rob, my my buddy, John Schneider's brother joined in.
I think he did. And then that's Rob. And then
my brother is Bob, but a lot of people call
him Rob too, so it was it was a yeah,
it was like John Schneider world. It was great. All right,

(30:40):
let's talk about let's talk about the government shutdown? Why not?
That's so I know. But we're traveling on Sunday. Yeah,
we're traveling right.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Yeah, that's a little scary.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
And uh so we don't know what's going to happen
with regard to that.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
It seemed like they've have been on schedule a little
bitter than some of the airports. So we'll see. Yeah,
and if we have to hang out in New York
that's fine until January first, So if it gets stuck
for a little while, we're leaving early to make sure
we've got plenty of time for travel. And we're still
looking forward to it, you know, And if any of
you have suggestions, even for England and Scotland, won't take them.

(31:19):
And if you know anyone in Saint Andrews.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
Let us know and where we go. We're going to Manchester, right,
We're flying into Manchester, Manchester. So if and we're doing
that on d D's birthday, it's going to be.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
My big travel birthday. It will be a big travel
birthday adventure.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Yees.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
So it's going to be a birthday week, right, But
we're going to kick it off on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
So if there's a golf course close to there and
you say, hey, you know, we understand the fascination with
Saint Andrews, but try this. This is this is right there,
and I'm sure.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Any golf course in Scotland wouldn't be lovely, but Andrews
would be cool. So who knows. We've got a wonderful
group of friends and famises and you know, they always
pop up with these suggestions and people that they know
and uh, you know, ideas for a tour. So it's
they're great. You guys are great. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
We appreciate it, and.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
Get remembered when the red berets taking off my hands
are hands for now? The biggest house in America? What
is it called? And where is it?

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Where is it?

Speaker 2 (32:26):
The Big House?

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Not the Almond Brothers. It's not the Almond Brothers place
that was called the Big House.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
That's the This is the biggest house in America.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Bye, golly, by golly.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
What's it called?

Speaker 1 (32:37):
Oh? Bye gosh bye?

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Where is it? Oh? Bye gosh, bye golly.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
So I have to work some Christmas songs into the
Christmas show. I know.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
So John's doing Christmas grams.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Oh that's right. What is the Christmas Graham?

Speaker 2 (32:52):
You asked you wish you a Merry Christmas, Sally. We
wish you amry Christmas, Sally. We wish you Americ Christmas
and a happy New Year.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
Sally. I think that would be a little better because
if your name is Sally and you ordered a Christmas
gram I'm going to be saying Christmas grams like Sally.
The red nose reindeer had a very shiny nose. Going
to work your name into I think I think I
picked five songs. Have holly jolly Christmas, Sally.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
I'm sorry, Christmas gift. You need to get a Christmas.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Home for Christmas, Sally.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
So get that in the store.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Yes you can. It's it's listening the store. That's pretty
funny and uh, it's gonna be a lot of fun
to do. You can pick you pick your song. So
in the description if you buy it, if it's for
somebody else, then still put that in there. Say hey,
this is a gift for my mother, Sally, and uh
then I'll work re name it. But you have to

(33:55):
put it into the description, Sally, or I won't know. Hello, sadly,
I won't know. Uh, I want know who to sing
the song to or for. Okay, excuse me, but that's
called Christmas Graham g r A M Did I do it?
Or g r A like a Graham Cracker?

Speaker 2 (34:14):
No, like the singing telegrams, you know, kind.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Of like that like when bugs money would do that.
So that's a lot of fun. It's a new thing
on the on the store.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
Christmas present. I think that's great. I think I'm probably
going to have to do that, Yes, and buy a
Christmas Graham from John Schneider, not the one with the Seahawks,
not the one with the blue Jays, and not the
brother of the other.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
Brother of Rob me.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
This one.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
I know a guy I can. I can get it
done for you.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
That's good.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
So so if you want one of those, get it.
Obviously they're they're they're kind of unlimited. I put fifty
on there. Uh, it's not cheap because I didn't want
to spend every waking moment from now until Christmas doing it,
so it should be very very special. So if you're
interested in that, go ahead check it out, order one
and I'll get it to you as soon as possible.

(35:13):
It's kind of like Cameo. I love Cameo, but this
it doesn't have to go through somebody else's system in
order to get to me. Although it is a great system.
What a great company who came up with that?

Speaker 2 (35:25):
It's less expensive Cameo if you go through the story,
that's true, that's true. Yeah, those price syat But that
is a great idea and it's like a multi million
dollar business.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
I remember they first came out and they were soliciting
you know, hey, celebrity ABCD, would you like to sign
up with this will take care of everything. And I'm thinking, yeah, yeah, right,
you'll take care now, I'll do this and they won't
get it, and then then I'll get in trouble. Oh gosh.
Cameo is I think the most efficiently run online online

(35:58):
celebrity service I've ever seen. So if you don't know
what it is, just look it up. Cameo. It's pretty great.
There's a lot of people who are signed up on Cameo.
You are, I are, I are.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
I think we're going to have a freeze in the
I R S according to President Trump here coming up soon,
because they're going to doge is going to audit them.
That's what I think I heard that. Yeah, so so
they are they are going to limit or stop, for

(36:31):
a short period of time, their ability to collect from
us while they are being audited. And I think that's
great because you know, when they're being audited, all the
all the files and paperwork and all that stuff needs
to be available. So I think they need to put
the system on pause. I think I understood that right

(36:53):
for however long that takes. And you know, it's still
Elon's Elons group of amazing seeing young auditors amazing young people.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
Yeah, that guy, he's so impressive. And I love that
he said, don't vote for Moundonnie, don't vote.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
For right, No, I vote for vote for Silva whatever.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
And uh, I have no respect for this guy. Just
gonna say the commed. He doesn't deserve to be called mayor,
he doesn't deserve to be called an American. I mean,
he's so negative and so terrible. So in New York,
you got what you voted for. We're getting it and

(37:36):
getting out come see us December fifth, because we're not
coming back for a while.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
Bring like tomatoes and things. If you keep saying that,
what might have to put up a cage you might
have to do a cage show. We have a lot.
I don't even know if I if I can sing
Charlie's words in New York? I mean, what what should
I do?

Speaker 2 (37:54):
What?

Speaker 1 (37:55):
How about? How about.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
He's probably not going to like the Christmas Show.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Either, by the way, Oh you know you're right, yeah,
he won't be in power yet, right, So, but you know.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Our friends would love to come in fact, many of
them are, many of you already are. We're so thrilled
and they're like, hey, we'll see you on a bib.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
That's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
We've got a nice group in New York. We were
there last year for a perfect.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
Crime, Perfect Crime, which is still going, by the way,
which is fantastic. Hello Kathy, Hello everybody, longest. We miss you,
We miss you, folks, We miss you this very Christmas.
We miss you this very Christmas. We miss you this
very Christmas. And happy.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
We get quite creative, Yes.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
We do, because we don't want to sit here a
bitch for an hour.

Speaker 3 (38:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
Hard, so hard.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
It's so tempting to do that, especially this show. But
we are looking forward to England or I am. I
hope we get out, okay.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
Oh yeah, Well then the government shutdown. Now that it's
going to be interesting if now that they got their way,
if they're going, well, I don't think they're going to
acquiesce now. I think they're going to actually dig in.
I think this. I think there's every likelihood that the
government shutdown will continue through Thanksgiving. I really do. Which

(39:20):
already it's I think yesterday it was tied for the
longest government shutdown in the history of our country. So
now we have to be making a new record every second,
not a record you want to make. But that is
a record that we are making, and the Democrats continue
to blame it on the Republicans, and of course the
Republicans continue to blame it on the Democrats. But I

(39:40):
really admire Speaker Johnson, and he was explaining it yesterday.
He said, this is not this is not a Republican shutdown.
This is the Schumer shutdown. We are not going to
give free health We're not going to take healthcare away
from American citizens so that we can supply it for
free to illegal aliens. We're not going to do it.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
And a lot we're not going to do it.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
And it was the Democrats. I've seen the paperwork on
several news channels, So you know, I have not gone
to Washington and demanded that I see the paperwork because
I'm a taxpayer and I demand my rights. But I've
seen where the Democrats are the ones who refuse to
pay the Snap benefits. Now, the Snap benefits, you know,
that's a whole that's a whole slippery area because you know,

(40:31):
you're supposed to be able to prove interesting, you're supposed
to be able to prove that you cannot work, and
that these SNAP benefits used to be called food stamps
are the only things that will keep you alive. That's
what you're supposed to be able to prove.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
But they're showing people getting a ton of money and
then they sell it up just for profit.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
Yeah, they sell it, yeah, or they you know, they're
they're getting their Snap benefits. And I don't think people
should be kept from having their hair done or their
nails done. But if you're showing up with your hair
looking great, your nails looking great, and a brand new
twelve hundred dollars tattoo, and you're talking on your fifteen

(41:12):
hundred dollars phone to pick up your Snap benefits, there's
something wrong with that. People like I said, the natural
state of the garden is weeds. People will figure out
a way to use other people's philanthropy, other people's heart
for their own good. And when somebody gets a Snap

(41:35):
benefit that can get a job, they are taking it
away from someone who can't. So it's all just wrong.
But it is the Democrats that stopped the Snap benefit program.
It's not the Republicans, but they will say they will
just keep saying what do you call that? Transference? Is

(41:56):
that what it is? They will just keep saying, you know,
they'll go out and this is a gross exaggeration, pardon me,
but they'll go out and drown fifteen puppies and then
turn around and say, did you say what the Republicans did?
They just drowned fifteen puppies and somebody's on the shore
saying no, I saw you. No, you're lying, you're blind.

(42:17):
It's the Republicans who weren't even here that It just
it drives me a little batty. Right now, let's talk
about something fun.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
Well, I'm going to go back to our traveling. We
have had such a great time, you know. And Ween
mentioned that we went to Hazzard before.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
And we had a great had a great time.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
Made me mention we were going to Hazard, but we did.
And the people there are so lovely and just James.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
And Jim and good, good, good people.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
Yeah. And so we picked up a car.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
It was delivered David. By the way, thank you David
for delivering the car. Well, I'm telling you what the
car is.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Pick it's taken off the we had.

Speaker 1 (43:01):
It dragged unwillingly offered for some reason. The rear wheels
locked up.

Speaker 2 (43:06):
I think we've got this. We'll send the Tony yeah, see,
maybe we have, but I already posted something.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
Yeah, you already know the car. It's a sixty nine charger, and.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
And I was like, this, it looks great buying this
because it's in pieces. And everybody's like, you'd have no
idea what you're talking about. And they're right, I mean,
because they're like, when you build it.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
It's either half apart or half together.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
But when I got there or when yeah, when we
got there and saw it, I was like, well, it
looks good. I mean, obviously it's the shell of the car,
but I thought it was going to be a piece here,
a wheel there.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
But you know, but I look right, I dump it
off the back of a dump truck.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
It's like, why are we spending all this money on
a part of a car? It looks good.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
Well, I'm hoping that that he can find the windshield
because I thought all the glass was in it, and
apparently either it's not or someplace where it was getting
painted before or or some work was being done. Well,
it's not hard to get glass for it, but yeah,
the front glass. We don't need the window glass but

(44:14):
the sides, but we do need the front and back. Anyway,
there's a lot of a lot of parts there, and
it's going to be part of the story of a
certain television show that will be shot in Harry County.
It's going to be a storyline itself, you know, the
restoration of this car and trying to figure out what

(44:34):
color to paint it. I don't know, I don't know.
I don't think we can have two orange cars. I
think we may do it so that it is the
color scheme of the original General Lee in the very
first episode of Dukes of Hazard that I ever read.

(44:56):
So it's the General was not described as an orange
stock car in the very first one. So we'll see.
Maybe I'll have it. What the what Guy Waldron envisioned
that generally as being to start with back in nineteen
seventy seven, it was a secret.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
Well, how do I know it that good of a secret?

Speaker 1 (45:20):
Maybe I might view that you I heard it from somewhere,
some of our friends, maybe somebody. Then, what do you
think about this? We're thinking of very seriously considering this
doing a store in Hazard. So what do you think

(45:42):
the Bose nest Bo's nest or Yeah, I think Boss.

Speaker 2 (45:48):
I don't know. Yeah, what do you think you should be?

Speaker 1 (45:50):
Oh? Rage Bobecue a boutique.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
It's getting worse.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
It's getting worse, right, I yeah, have like to have
a store.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
People can come visit and why not be a hazard.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
Yeah, So if the store will still work, everything else
still work.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
We got some bow carts and right rides and who
knows and.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
Get your go, get your your coffee at the stopping bow.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
Please, any ideas you have for those would be good
because I do think it would work having a store
and me move a look up there.

Speaker 1 (46:25):
And right we're talking not that loop. They have this loop,
our loop talking about putting a wall, like a huge
TV wall up and always always have Dukes of Hazzard
playing on the TV. Maybe Christmas cars for Christmas and
then stand on it or too many Santa's which was
one of my favorite Dukes episodes. I think that's what
it was called. We're all dressed up as Santa's. That's

(46:45):
fun and there were I think three general leaves with
Santa's and it was it was pretty fun. But we're
talking about that. We we looked at some property after
we took delivery of the car. We have two other
cars we have to get there as well. We have
the boss boor Cadillac which is seventy four I think

(47:06):
seventy four Cadillac Eldorado white with white interior. It's a
convertible and it has horns currently in the trunk that
go on the front of it, which I think will
be just fantastic. And then we have we have another
one of the hero cars, which is a Challenger. This
is a a scatpack scat pack with a with the

(47:30):
Shaker hood, which is beautiful car. Right now, it's green.
It's not going to be green in the show. But
here's my question. We've got Mason and Dixon, which are
are my nephews, and then we have Dixie. Mason and
Dixon are going to be working feverishly on the sixty
nine charger. I don't know what they're going to drive,

(47:52):
like into town. I don't know what the boys should drive.
I've got the badass car. I've got the orange Challenge
here with t tops and a double zero on the
door called the General Jackson. I've got all that going
on my end. But what do you think a good
car for for Mason and Dixon to drive would be?
And what do you think a good vehicle for Dixie

(48:15):
would be not a jeep. I don't want to do
the jeep thing. But what do you think? What what says?
She runs a body shop by the way, So what
what says? Uh? You know, badass tomboy because that's what
Daisy was, you know, I think Daisy was was the
quintessential Tom and Baby.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
Speaking of Daisy, Catherine bag was in a hospital. Yes,
John reached out and she got right back to him.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
And yep, so she's doing good. She's doing good. She
was delighted that everybody was so concerned. She she loves
that you love her. She's just great. Catherine is great.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
Break down talk in the morning, and I hated waking up.

Speaker 1 (48:57):
She's like, she's like, honey, Catherine in the hospitals, Like, oh,
so I text her and she's like, yes, I am,
but I'm you know, I'm I'm good. I'm gonna be
here for a couple of days, but I'll be fine.
So that was great. And and she had just come
from about three miles from where we were at the
super car show there here.

Speaker 2 (49:17):
Yeah, did you a car show in the area every year?
So the gentleman is now asked us to come next year.
And it looks good. Looks like they have a wonderful turnout.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
And she was just there.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
She was just there. They always just saw.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
We just saw Catherine. I mean the sharp he was
hardly dry on the autograph. But she's doing great. She
appreciates all of your concerns, she appreciates your prayers. No,
she's out, yeah good. Yeah, So she appreciates all that,
and so thank you for caring so much about Kathy.
She's a wonderful gal. And then no other Daisy. I

(49:50):
don't care what they say about that movie. She was
not Daisy. Catherine Vach is Daisy. Yeah, period, end of story.
But there will be with that in your book.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
But there will be a Dixie.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
There will be a Dixie. Yeah, there will be a Dixie.
And we're talking about doing some auditions. Don't know when
that date is going.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
Yeah, that's all.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
Yeah, but well we'll let you know. We'll let you know.
But there'll be probably in Louisville and probably in Lexington
is at the next.

Speaker 2 (50:23):
We'll see maybe Nashville.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
Man, I don't know, well, I kind of I'm kind
of like you know now that I'm on the other
end of it. Local higher. Yeah, so we'll do it.
We should do it in hazard proper as well. It'll
be fun enough.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
Because we have pretty good ideas anyway, But thought, you know,
just to get a Lookxie, if some folks and gather
some extras and.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
Yeah, and then what happens somebody comes in and reads
your words that you wrote and you go, oh my gosh.
I never thought about it that way. That's great. So
the casting process, there's always great surprises. I like to
think I was a great surprise. I could nineteenge seventy eight.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
You were meant to be well.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
I was meant to well. I was was, and I
was meant to be Why am I so horse all
the time these days? Maybe because I don't stop talking.
Maybe that's it.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
She's worth it. Charlie's words, What do we have one?

Speaker 1 (51:18):
I was going to go to super Bowl, but I
ain't going anymore because a halftime shows the dumpster fire, folks.
I have to confess this old, this old fashioned country guy.
I watch reruns instead, maybe Dukes, I answered.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
So that's cute.

Speaker 1 (51:40):
So yeah, but that's not out yet. We're gonna we're
gonna cut that one.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
Not that we have, you know, need to be doing
anything else, don't do we need more to do with
the Thefty State tour to be done July fourth, which we're.

Speaker 1 (51:52):
Gonna We've been filming some of that obviously in Savannah
and in North Carolina and South Carolina, but I haven't
been near my computer because we've been away. That's the
problem with it is we're away. So when I get
home for two days, I'll be able to edit a
little bit of that. But it's so the schedule is
so good that the self imposed schedule has been rather arduous.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
But we decided to do that. You know, the tour,
we knew that would be busy. And then Earld's and
then John is just having a huge renaissance with music.
He is getting request after request and.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
You know, we can all stop, we can only those
are the requests I'm getting.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
No, definitely, no, I mean huge request And just like
I snorted, I mean you did have a concert every day.
I mean we have to turn away so much. So
we like to do those special Uh what our favorite
are those historic landmark theaters? Those are fun. And I

(52:53):
like a car show before that's a perfect.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
What was the one we just saw yesterday? And Strang
the Strand and Marrietta now we're gonna we're gonna call
them and see what the what the situation is there.
But yeah, we're going to have our people are people
will call their people.

Speaker 2 (53:09):
Actually my cousin, you know, yeah, call and see what deal.

Speaker 1 (53:15):
So we'll see what's going on there. It would be
a real real for me to play in Marietta. You know,
this is this was uptown when I went to high school.
I went to high school. I would come to Marietta
Square occasionally, which is not far from where we are
right now. Cute go to Roswell. Roswell's great to Roswell
Road right up through Roswell. So it's really great for

(53:35):
me to be back here. And when I did haves
and have nuts, where did I stay for probably four
of the eight years right here?

Speaker 2 (53:44):
This is a great place here. It's basically just says
it's the Marietta City and Conference Center.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
That's it. But it's fine Powder Springs Road.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
I think it's so nice. The golf course is amazing.
I wish we could play today, but we have to
go north. Yep, and uh, we'll be back though.

Speaker 1 (54:00):
This is wonderful and we got fifty three. Okay, we're
doing good.

Speaker 2 (54:03):
We have wonderful luck with Hilton. We're Hilton Diamond members
and we love Hilton Hilton dimond as we travel a lot.
We had Marianne Hilton. Hilton's just the best. They do
a good job, I mean the hotels, and anytime we
have an issue, they fix it. I love Hilton.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
Yep, yep. And this one. If you play golf, and
you know, a lot of times municipal courses can be
kind of a mess. This one, my gosh, there's a
lot of people playing this golf course and they it's funny.
The golf course is in great shape. But I didn't
see did you see anybody mowing or anything? Nose? They

(54:41):
must do that. It was in the morning.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
It was like this magical like houses here being a
municipal course, you know, the private courses of course, or of.

Speaker 1 (54:51):
Course is the course of of course, of course. And
we had that like a super moon last night. Apparently
the moon is closer to the Earth right now than
any other has ever been or ever will be in
the history of history.

Speaker 2 (55:03):
For the year.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
No, no, no, he said, ever, no, I don't know
about that. It looks pretty good for me, you should now.
I took a picture here Tony and you show this picture.
This is at the golf course last night. But someone
sent DEDI a picture of that same moon, that same
moon in Madison in Indiana, and it is staggering. So

(55:26):
not a doctored excuse me, not a doctored photograph at all.
So I would call it a supermoon or a blood
red moon or something. Oh, you're looking it up.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
I think the largest moon of the year is the
November beavermant, which occurs this week November.

Speaker 1 (55:43):
Four, fourth, th fifth. This is the closest super moon
of the year.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
Okay, see, I think it's for the year. I don't
think it's for arner like the moon's been closer.

Speaker 1 (55:52):
The moon's action type. They had to write this, while
the moon's actual size is consistent. No, I thought it.
I thought it expanded and contracted.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
And flatter, right, I don't know the flat Uh.

Speaker 1 (56:07):
Anyway, So enough of all that. We uh, we've been
having a great time. Hope that you've been enjoying hanging along,
tagging along with us.

Speaker 2 (56:15):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (56:16):
And like last night when Dedie was dissing my chicken,
I ordered a chicken.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
So the chicken came and it was the saddest ugliest
plant I've ever seen. Everything was beige, tope or brown
in weird shapes. This tato taste fine, okay, fine, but
not great in it.

Speaker 1 (56:38):
And no, I'm not going to And the restaurant here
is terrific. The wast serve, the staff here is great.
We just had a wonderful breakfast. And I will admit
that I told the bartender, I said, you know, if, if,
if the food is going to be this, then then
put it on a printed plate, you know, put it

(56:59):
on something would like squirrels and woo like something great.
It actually tastes good. It tastes good. There were there
were and then she had, of course the big, very
fancy margarita pizza or flat bread or whatever. And it's funny.
Most people thought I had ordered the pizza and she'd
ordered the chicken. No, I ordered the chicken.

Speaker 2 (57:17):
Yep, I got the pun I got the pun dish.
It was fun, but we were pretty like it was fine.
But I just thought there was such a stark difference
in between them. Brought the chicken, will looks so sad
and beige?

Speaker 1 (57:31):
What does the drink? We helped, We helped Robert.

Speaker 3 (57:33):
Oh God, Savannah Savannah Savannah Sweet Sipper, Savannah Savannah, the
sweet Savannah sipper or the sipper or Savannah.

Speaker 2 (57:43):
Soip that it was sour Savannah sipper or sweet Savannah sipper.

Speaker 1 (57:48):
Lord, you know it was great.

Speaker 2 (57:50):
But I have to say, even though I like cocktails
that have two minutes interesting flavors, I always regret it
later the sugar doesn't work.

Speaker 1 (57:58):
Even though the ship didn't you taste that, but it
didn't taste that that sugary. Yeah, I was surprised. I
was surprised they didn't taste sure.

Speaker 2 (58:06):
Anyway, that's there. It's great. Everybody there was wonderful. Everybody
here is wonderful. So check it out.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
This terrific hotel and beautiful. You feel like you're driving
right up into going with a win. And if you
play golf, you got to play this course. It's really
it's really tremendous.

Speaker 2 (58:21):

we can get on with us. Now, okay, seriously, we
want to see Scotland. Happy birthday to me. It's mine birthday.
