[Music] Welcome to Drinking Bros. Presented by GhostBed.com [Music] Sit back, relax and grab a fucking drink. Yeah, welcome to Drinking Bros. Kids. The old Friday afternoon show. That airs on Sundays, which we're boozin' brother. Had a little hard AF Seltzer runnin' through these veins today. Peanut, I'm drinking the Peanut Colot. It's one of my favorites, but we're getting rid of it. We got the new Green Apple comin' in, and that's rollin' out in every single state right now. Got a bunch of messages and everybody's like, "Man, that Green Apple bugs." And I was like, "Yeah, sure does. Sure does." Super amped about that. You can buy the old flavors though, right now at hardafseltzer.com. That's it. Last of, I think it's like 50 cases left. Promco Drinking Bros. gets 20% off there, 40 bucks, 24 cans, shipped right to your house. I think there's like 10 states they don't deliver to. So check it out if you want to. Do whatever you want. Speaking of which, holy shit, dude. I got three hours sleep last night. You've got your phone off for those alerts, right? For those alerts. Yeah. I mean, I got plenty of other ones, but yeah, I don't do that. Do you keep the amber alert on or? No, no, no, I have a bat phone that's on 24 hours a day, but otherwise around 11 o'clock, my shit goes into do not disturb mode. And there's a couple of exceptions. Okay. Like you, Jared. Couple of, yeah. Actually, that's pretty much it as you and Jared. Yeah. Just cases if you guys. Yeah, if it's an emergency, then the bat phone stuff, which is all the, you know, the other shit I do. So, but yeah, for just ordinary stuff, there's two people that can contact me. And they would never would. Actually, Jared will. Jared will call me, it's always worth it though. 'Cause it's either used for fucking retarded. It's one of the two, which is, those are two things I really enjoy. He's usefulness and retardation, so. Yeah, either one is fine. But yeah, my wife's phone was on. Mine's turned off as well for that. I can, I'll take calls from you guys, obviously my friends, but my wife had this on. She just got that new phone from Apple and it sucks. And this noise was blaring so goddamn loud that like, I mean, I almost jumped up out of bed. I said, what the fuck is that? It was a blue, which I didn't know what that is, Bob. Blue alert. Blue alerts. And does that mean? So, police shooting. Amber alert is for kids, silver alerts for an old guy who fucking wanders off without pants. And blue alert is, I guess, for a, for police violence. Like, for a cop that's been shot. Support the blue. Support, yeah, back the blue. Okay, so with this, I woke up this morning, you know, three hours later, took the kids to school. And I saw a name trending that I've never heard of, and it's rare. So usually I click in on, I'm like, all right, who's this serial killer? And sure enough, it was this dude. It was the dude who shot the cop here in Texas. Every single cell phone in the state of Texas went off at 4.50 AM for this guy, Seth Altman. And the police officer lived according to my knowledge, or he's in the hospital right now recovering. I mean, it said he shot him. I didn't see that he was alive or dead. I also read this this morning at 4 o'clock in the morning as Sam Altman. So did I. So I thought it was going to be a little bit more of a fun story. I did too. And then I clicked on the name, and it was no. It was this dipshit for our audio listeners. It's just a red hair, ginger fucking neck beard. And this guy shot a cop last night at 11, and then they put out the blue alert to every single phone in the state, which is like 30 million people down here. And it shook the world. So I went to Twitter to trend number one in the United States is a big fucking deal. That's never happened to drink it, bro, this is for Cry 6. You woke up the whole goddamn state. You woke up 30 million people. Yeah. This one fucking guy. So I said on Twitter, I think we should just-- he needs to be removed. Seth Altman needs to be removed from this planet for waking up the entire state at 4.50 AM for his bullshit. Who's Seth Altman? Like that's the guy who shot the cop. Oh, well, I mean, he needs to die anyways. Yes. I mean, this is how far away he was, by the way. So here's Hall County. OK. That's where he was up. And it's actually giving it a little bit closer because he's in Memphis, Texas, which I guess is a place. We'll never heard of that. Yeah, 6-hour drive, 6 and 1/2 hour drive from Austin. What time did you get the alert? About 4.50 AM on the dots. And yeah, like I looked at it, I was like-- So 5 AM and it happened at 11. That's 6 hours. Yes. So he could have gotten here is what you're saying. So is he on the move here? Have they got him to catch this guy? I don't know if they know which direction he's heading in, probably. I don't think they got him. I wouldn't be shocked if Oklahoma and maybe even Kansas got an alert as well. OK. Just because of proximity. Man, it was not fun. Obviously, I'm sure the cops not having any fun today either. Well, I guess the thing-- The interesting thing is what the fuck are people at 4.50 in the morning-- Gonna do it? Gonna do. You know what I mean? I understand waiting until morning to do it, I guess. So maybe they're just trying to catch people before the 5 AM commute. That's probably the conversation that happened. OK. As people are driving around, hey, keep a lookout for this car right here. I got a ton of message from our listeners. Did it say what kind of car he was on or anything? No, there was no car. It was just a description that he was in a blue T-shirt in jeans and that they were like white man armed and dangerous. So we're supposed to be in the lookout for a fucking white dude with a beard in Texas. 6'2" to 220 wearing jeans. It could have been me, right? Like, I could have gotten pulled over. I know. That's Jesse's that to me last night. She's like, dude, am I sleeping next to the kid? Like, you fit the description. I was like, sweetie, I'm kissing 6'4" here. Let's calm down. I'm a lot taller than this gentleman. But yeah, fuck this guy, man. Holy shit, drag him out in the street. Beat him to death or let the family or the officer after he gets out of the hospital, do it. Whatever needs to happen there. God damn it, man. It was OK for me, though, because I was already up two hours doing my Mark Wahlberg. Oh, that's what I was thinking about the listeners. Everybody sent me Goggins of like, hey, bro, Goggins was already up for an hour at this point. And I was like, uh-huh, cool, cool. I'm not. I'm not. I got to take my kids to school at seven. It's going to be easy to get up at three in the morning when you don't have any friends. Well, yeah, I don't know. Because nobody likes you. So I had a two hour workout already in. I already played nine holes golf. That's Mark Wahlberg, dude. He gets up at, what, 2.15? Yeah, he lights candles. That's right. He prays at 2.30 to 2.45. And then he does play, I think, a full round every morning. I'm not kidding. Yeah, he does. I think that's what he says he does. But I think he does it in like an hour and a half. And he's in a cart. Because he only plays like a solo round by himself. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there's nobody ahead of him, so he can do whatever he wants. Now, Mark, if you're out there, I really love the municipal shit. I'm a big fan, actually. So keep doing that, at least. I like it. Or send some to the victims of the hurricane down there. What's the latest? I saw your video last night that went viral. And everybody was calling the governor's office for North Carolina. What happened? What ended up happening there? Yeah, so I can't-- there's some details I can't get into. But of course, the bottom line is we talked yesterday about the process for this, or I guess Thursday. The governor has to declare a state of emergency that is a formal letter to the White House, right? And it requests that Title 32 authority over the National Guard gets transitioned to Title 10 authority or federal authority, at which point the DOD and FEMA and DHS are kind of in control of what's called the ICS, what I talked about again on Thursday, the Incident Command System. And then they can start deploying federal resources. What's happening right now is about the most incompetent shit I've ever seen in my life, right? I mean, what day did the storm touch down Friday, Thursday night, Friday morning somewhere there? So we're a week in at this point. Yes, I'm talking about yesterday. We were a week in at that point. And I can't say that. The 82nd has been waiting to go. I'll say that. OK. OK. Yeah. Have they gotten clearance yet? So, yeah. OK. Sort of. So 82nd resources have been deployed. They're not in charge yet. They will be by the end of this day. Of Friday. Yes. OK, cool. They'll be in charge of everything by the end of this day. Or I'll fucking know the reason why. So here's what I find wild. Everybody's calling this Kamala's Katrina today and last night and all that stuff is-- people are pissed, obviously, about the $750 thing. And rightfully so. It's fucking crazy and insane. It's also insane that FEMA is out of money and that it was all shifted to illegal resources and not for hurricanes and natural disasters here. But for her, your 30 days out, wouldn't you be there every fucking day until shit got done? Because you don't want to be accused of this at the end of the day. It's going to fall into who's ever in office. Yeah, I mean, look, getting requests from people, like, hey, you guys have influence. Can you help us get this done? It tells me that the two people in the White House, they don't feel comfortable putting them on the phone with Cooper, right? Because that's what-- in-- when Maria hit Puerto Rico, I was talking to a mutual friend of ours who worked in the Trump administration. When Maria hit Puerto Rico in 2017, there were advanced teams, Secret Service, WHO, on C-17s in the middle of the night, heading there that night. It is about leadership. That's it. Pick up the fucking phone and say, hey, here's what you need to do. Write a letter, request, emergency, transition, blah, blah, blah, we will declare-- we will approve your declaration of emergency. That's what the President's job is to approve that. And then federal resources open up. But right now, what we have is a fucking complete lack of leadership. And that's not a surprise to anybody, right? I mean, Colin's out there pretending like she doesn't have any influence because if she admits she does, then all the stuff that's happening right now falls on her. And I'm just talking about this hurricane, inflation, immigration, all that stuff. Well, she's not the president yet. She's just the VP, right? Cool, man. All right, I see what you can do. You know what I mean? If you're a fucking assistant manager and you're trying to get promoted to manager, this ain't the way. Yeah, yeah. And that's the way I look at it. And I said this throughout the week, too, with New Jersey and Chris Christie when it happened to me up there. I'm not a big fan of what he's become, but he handled shit, got it done really fucking quickly, got all the National Guard deployed, everything else, and was there. That motherfucker was there every day. Fat is shit, too. My God, he's a big man in real life. And he was there. And that's really all you can ask for out of your governor. That's why you elect these people to get these fucking jobs done. And Roy Cooper didn't do it, can't do it, or just doesn't want to do it. Either way, he's out of there in November. And we'll see what happens. I haven't heard, though, from the other guy. The Josh Stein guy. Isn't he the one that's running on that side against Mark Robinson? Yeah, I don't know what he's up to. I don't know either, man. I haven't heard a fucking word. Honestly, I haven't heard from Mark Robinson either. He was there day one, so I know he's around. I just don't think he's not doing press. He's just out there trying to get shit done. Yeah, I mean, so good. Like, regardless of nude Africa or whatever the fuck, he's actually on the ground trying to get shit done right now. And he's not using it as photo ops. Like, he's in the middle of a campaign that he's losing badly right now. And he's there. And he could be using this to make himself look better, so credit were credit to do, I suppose. Yeah, 'cause he was there roughly four or five days ago. Like, I mean, he was the first person I saw before anyone else. Like, presidents, anyone, and I was like, oh shit. All right, I don't know how the fuck he got up there, but he was able to figure it out. And then, oh, this goes back to where we're spending our money as Americans. It's not just the fucking Democrats. Bob, I sent you a clip about Lindsey Graham. If you can play that from last night, he went on Hannity. And, you know, he'll talk about the hurricane that happened, by the way, to his own state as well in South Carolina, and play this clip. - You can thank Donald Trump and Elon Musk for that. - Yeah, Elon Musk, you know, look. You know, I've gone all over South Carolina, like most people ain't slept much. But look what's going on in Israel. Our friends in Israel surrounded by people that want to kill them, destroy them, a second Holocaust in the making, and buying says, be proportionate. - So, real quick, rewind that one more time, Bob. I just want the people to hear this one more time. - Rewind to the top here. Yeah, go ahead. So, you see the footage and what's going on here. Houses are being washed away. And, yeah, it's happening in South Carolina. But I want to talk about Israel. Watch how fast he pivots on that. Play this one more time. - You can thank Donald Trump and Elon Musk for that. - Yeah, Elon Musk, I bless you, but look. - You know, I've been going all over South Carolina, like most people ain't slept much. But look what's going on in Israel. Our friends in Israel surrounded by people that want to kill them, destroy them, a second Holocaust in the making, and buying says, be proportional. What is the proportional response to people who want to kill you and your family? They're running out of ammunition in Israel. We have to help our friends to keep the war over there from coming here. - They're willing to. - All right, so, yeah, you killed it right there. We have to help our friends over there, not our own citizens who actually live here. Pause this guy into the fucking ocean. - Yeah, yeah. - I mean, the balls to say that when it's, when it's going on in your own state, to say, hey, I know, man, I haven't slept, just like the rest of everybody in South Carolina, but let's talk about our friends in Israel and why they need our help. Why do they need our help? They seem to be doing just fine without us right now. So why the fuck do we need any resources, time, money, our own military over there when they could be helping out in South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina right now? It doesn't make any fucking sense to me. - Yeah, he's, you know, I think, do you remember the Lady G stuff back in the day? - Oh, I've never forgot it. - Forget about like, nobody gives a fuck that he's gay, by the way. - I don't care. - It is the worst kept secret in the world. No one fucking cares, but the fact that it's not open and talked about in any way, shows you that he's got something to hide and it's not about politics. There's nothing to do with that. I think this dude is compromised by Israel. I think that the Epstein fucking operation has him in their grasp right now. And that's why he's out there fucking stumping for them against his own people. Like literally, South Carolina got fucked up too. - Oh yeah? - And he's out there talking about, well, I know you guys are fucking, your dead, the dead bodies of your children are floating through the water right now, but Israel needs bullets. - Our friends need help in Israel. - Yeah. - No. - It's like, look, man, there's a part of coalition building and a part of, I guess, convincing people to do things and whatnot where you have to give them moral or ethical permission to do what you're asking them to do, right? It's like, you have people want to feel good about what they're doing. And coming out during a fucking disaster like this and saying, I know your problems are bad, but people 10,000 miles away or whatever the fuck, it's bad there too, so we gotta prioritize them during this conversation right now while people are dying. That turns people off to the idea. - Oh yeah. - So even if it was just what he's saying, which it is not, by the way, I don't give two fucks about Israel. Even if it was just, all he's doing is making people angry. All he's doing is the people who would actually support something like this, who, generally speaking, are good to their allies and that is to say fucking conservative people, typically. I mean, if you look throughout the history of the modern history of warfare, when conservatives are in charge of things, typically we don't treat our allies so poorly as we do right here, right? So for example, Obama giving back hundreds of billions of dollars to Iran and then Biden doing the goddamn exact same thing. All the people who would actually support this idea. And I'm not talking about funding Israel, I'm just talking about the general moral support are now like fuck Israel. Like you've jammed it down their throat so much inappropriately so that now they're anti-Israel. It's like, what the fuck? I mean, you can't see that that's happening. I don't understand this guy. So I mean, but it doesn't matter. He's compromised by Israel for sure. - But I also don't see Israel begging for money on television like Zelensky. Like to my knowledge, I know Netanyahu took a meeting with Biden and Trump probably to brief them on what the fuck's going on or their plans in the future or whatever, but he was never on the Grammys or stumping for money. I haven't heard shit out of Israel begging for cash at all. So voluntarily offering it in this thing like Lady G said last night on Hannity, doesn't make a lot of sense unless it's what you said that he's fucking compromised. Now, I will say this, when that Epstein last list first initially was rumored to come out and who was there and it was a bunch of politicians, this mother fucker was at the top of my list. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's on there. 100%. He's, he's, he's been it. He's sexually abused little boys, that's my guess. - It's my guess as well, but we have no idea. - I don't. - We have those weird receipts from back in the day. That's how we even got the Lady G thing if you're not an old school day one. Tommy was, his name was on a list buying prostitutes under the name Lady G and it was boys or young men, but it's not really confirmed and it's kind of murky and then the Epstein shit came out and then we never heard about it again. But whatever the fuck it is, something's gotta be going on because you don't get on live television when you're a senator for your own state and say, "You know what, man? "I know shit's hard here." But it's really hard about 10,000 miles away and we should really send some thoughts and prayers and money and bullets and all that other shit to them because here we're only getting 750 as citizens. So, Jesus Christ, man. Yeah, it's been hard to watch and then as far as this, you know, Kamala's Katrina thing, I think the interesting part about what's happening here in particular with like you and Tim Kennedy and all these other guys is we're in a different world now, social media wise than we were with Katrina. So, you guys are just able to go on Instagram and Twitter and get the message out and have it go viral. We played Tim Kennedy's clip yesterday. Did you see the one today that got posted with Chris Pratt and Jocko? Yeah, that was from last night as well. Yeah, and that one got a gajillion views as well. If it's not for you guys going on, you know, all of these outlets, I don't know that they actually get the help they need. Or this would have just been buried. Like if Save Our Allies and all that shit didn't exist, I don't know that the government would even be there right now. It isn't us though. I mean, it's like I'm a telephone that somebody picks up to make a phone call. That's it, I'm a conduit, right? It is, it's a good thing to talk about though, 'cause this is a good example of the power of people. I was talking to Andy for sale about this last night, actually, this whole like silent majority bullshit was a scyop to make you feel like it's okay to sit at home and not say anything. We'll fuck that, right? The collective power of people is stronger than any government ever can be. And that's been proven time and time and time again. I've said this before, but there's this old anecdote on a Senator of Rome was talking to a slave trader the slave trader was giving them, like they would deliver the slaves into Rome with like a piece of leather punched through their ear or something like that, right? Depending on the type of slaves, sometimes it was a big collar around their neck or some shit like that. And Romans would typically remove that shit and give them a brand that wasn't as easy to see and it was somewhat disparate from the other ones, right? So they didn't all look alike. And the slave trader asked him why he did it and he said, well, if they saw how many of them there were versus how many of us, they would just kill us all, right? And that's what it really is. It's the unified power of individuals who are tired of this bullshit. It's the premise of the show of citizen. You can bet your moment about your rights and you can sit around as a silent majority and wait for somebody to secure them for you and you will be a subject under their rule or you can secure those rights yourself by reforming the responsibilities required of you. And that's what makes you a citizen. And the responsibilities required of you is to say no when it's appropriate, right? Or to demand answers when it's appropriate. Look, the most charitable organization and the history of humanity is the American citizen. And it's not particularly close, frankly. People always wanna do stuff for each other here. It's, I've been to a lot of other countries and it's not like that everywhere. Honestly, I don't know what the difference, sincerely, I don't know what the difference is. For some reason it is part of American culture that when fucked up shit starts happening, people line up out the door looking to help. Doesn't really matter why, but it's a fact. So it isn't about me or Tana or Jaco or Chris Pratt or Sarah or any of that shit. I mean, it's good that we exist, I'm sure, right? 'Cause people need leadership, but really, it's about people. It's about people finding a conduit through which to use their individual power. There's this anecdote in, I think the, yeah, it's the first season of "Game of Thrones." And the king says, "What's stronger, five or one?" And I think it's Cersei. She says five and he goes, five, one, right? The fist is always more powerful. So the combined effort of all of you people is what's important, not me, or Tana or any of these other people. - Not at all, but if you guys don't all come together and do this, and I'll ask you Bob to pull up Chris Pratt's Instagram, I would imagine-- - Nick Paul and Sean was very helpful last night as well. - Yeah, I would have, but like with Chris, I would imagine he's probably got, you know, 10 million followers, what does he have? - 45 million a year, a lot more. - So I mean, dude, you go out to 45 million, and that's awesome. Play that video there with him and Jocko and print up the volume. - God, it's true of my favorite men. - Hey, you too, buddy. How you doing? How you doing there, Tim? - Man, I'm tuckered out. First of all, I appreciate both of you. Jocko, I appreciate the shout out that you did. I love you both. I love everything that you do. I just kind of want to give you a brief update. Teams are still working around the clock. Just got off the phone with an American general that they're sending to helicopters, their CH-47's, UH-60's. So even though there's been a gap of time, six days, where people have been kind of on their own, the momentum of people trying to make a difference is starting to swing because of people like you for a huge Jocko. So thank you guys. - Well, thanks to you for actually being on the ground and everyone that's across America, reaching out, don't any money, it's awesome to see. It's awesome to see America be America. - That's right. Yeah, so the folks who are just jumping on, can I ask you, Tim, like what's the reality of the situation right now? - Yeah, it's biblical-level apocalyptic destruction. I had seen pictures, but until I got on the ground a few days ago, I had no idea that entire entire valleys walked away. There's houses that would start being pushed down a mountain that would hit another house, that would hit another house at the bottom of the valley, maybe 10 houses. Nobody knows how many people were in those houses. We still have no idea where those people are. You know, where as we're flying over, we're seeing SOS and signal mirrors. We get down to these houses and the people in there, they've been starving and surviving by themselves for six days. I've checked on a man that was almost 100 years old. Wife had already died. He's just fighting to survive and no idea that somebody's gonna come and save him. It's heartbreaking. This isn't America too. You can't describe it, man. - Who should be going out there right now? - Yeah, that's a great question. If we get America, I love you guys so much. The number of people that are reaching out, don't reach out to me. There's great organizations, go to savorallies.org to volunteer to donate. But specifically, nobody's gonna turn you away. If you have a chainsaw and a bulldozer and you get connected with the ICS, the Incident Incident Command System to start clearing roads, most of these isolated people are isolated from trees and wash outs. You know, the bridges have washed out and the roads have washed out and trees have collapsed so they can't get to food. They can't get to water. They haven't had power in six days. There's no cell service. But if you're not a helicopter pilot, search and rescue, EMT paramedic, you're not kind of labor-wise leaders on the ground. We just specialize skills right now to get food and water is a very isolated place to keep people out. - Got it. Well, I've always loved to save our allies and what everything you guys have done, going back to the work that you guys did outside of Afghanistan and everything you've always done. I'm just so inspired by you, man. I love what you're doing. I love the, you know, it's not about politics or anything, it's about being a strong thread in the fabric of society. And I think the people who are watching this are hopefully inspired to give in any way they can if they can't bring specialized skills. Maybe they could donate. Is that something where you could donate to save our allies or any other group? And how would they go about doing that? - That's right. There's a bunch of great organizations. Mercury One is there. They're doing flights, you know, tons of great Americans are flying their private helicopters there. Saber allies is 100% volunteer. Everybody that's on the ground is volunteer. All the money from North Carolina is going directly in the North Carolina rescue ops. So save our allies.org. That's the place that you can go directly to make donations and you'll have confidence to know that every cent is going to go into operations on the ground. - Roger that. And how can people right now get assistance if they need assistance when there's somehow seen this? - So if you go to save our allies, there's an evac form in there. It's like name, address, last contact. We're getting lots of family members that are like, okay, I haven't heard from my family in six days. We're flying a helicopter to that house when you put that on there. But I have to have a consolidated list with fidelity. Otherwise we have multiple teams going to the same houses and there's just not enough people. So if you go on there, you can put like the name, last time known, phone number, address, and we'll go there physically and check that person out and make sure they're okay. A vac if need to or resupply if necessary. - Roger that. And what is the very best way that people right now can help you do what you're doing? - I mean, helping save our allies, donating to save our allies, volunteering diapers, donating diapers, baby formula, long lasting water electrolytes. But a big, yeah. So people are gonna have to be held accountable here. You're like, don't forget like there's, it shouldn't fall on Americans to do this and people like you and patriots that like just step up to help, like make sure that you're getting out to vote. But right now you can donate stuff, you can donate money, and if you have skills, you can volunteer. That's what you can do right now. - Roger that. Well, listen, man, you are such an inspiration. I love what you're doing. And I think what makes this country great has always been the people and the community and the people who are willing to step up. It's not up to other people, it's up to us. And so we're both on set right now. I know that we would love to be there in person if we can, but hopefully this is a way. I'll be making a donation on the side. We can talk about that. But anybody out there who's watching this, five bucks, 10 bucks, anything you can do. And if you can't, that's okay. If you don't have a specialized skill or a dollar, just let this be an inspiration to you that you can go out there. You can do something. There's someone close to you who needs help. We are the fabric of the society. It's not government, it's us. We make this country great. Today, November 5th and November 6th, no matter what happens, it's gonna be, it's on us to be strong in our country. It's the people showing up and putting boots in the ground and brother. You are the personification of that. You always have been. And that's why I pray for you every day and I'm really thankful to call you a friend and you inspire the hell out of me. So if you haven't followed Tim, followed Tim, follow Save Our Allies, watch what they do. He's a great beacon of hope in this country and we need folks like you brother.

I wonder. Now, I think me personally, Bob, looking at this, this would be a fun thing to buy your wife, to kind of get the party started and then get you in the game, so that part I can see there in the craftsmanship. - It's wonderful. - It's beautiful there, it's packer, this is a Green Bay Packers color. - It is, yeah. - You're a Packers fan out there, this is the item for you. - Yeah, I mean-- - Take them with you everywhere and have them literally inside you. - Yeah. - How else are you gonna have the Green Bay Packers inside you? - Can't. - Unless you're fucking Jordan Love, 64.99 on this promo code drinking bros, you're gonna get half off, that thing's only 32 bucks. - Now that's for the ladies or gentlemen really, I guess it's for anyone, but I do have another one from Creature Cox as well.

He's there and there in Europe. - Yeah, they're in like Romania. I don't know where the fuck they're filming, actually, Serbia, maybe. - But the fact that they were able to even get this together and for Chris Pratt with 45 million followers on Instagram to get this out to the world is pretty inspiring and the way that they were able to tag each other and collaborate, Jaco's obviously got a huge following, Tim's got a huge following as well. You love to see things like that. And then there's, 'cause there is celebrities out there that are doing good. And then there's the other side of it who, well, they don't really give a shit. Bob, pull up that Bruce Springsteen video that dropped this morning that could not be any more fucking tone deaf during a time like this. And they, look, they sat this motherfucker in an old diner too in New Jersey. Like he said, "Oh, the work in my hand, right there, brother." - He's never, this man has never had calluses on his hands. At no point in his life was he had calluses. - He put the flannel on them. - Except for maybe jerking himself off and looking at himself in the mirror. That's the only time he could have ever developed a callus. So play this in its entirety. I know this is gonna pain you to hear this in its entirety. However, he goes really fucking aggressive here towards the end. So go ahead and press play. - Hi, I'm Bruce Springsteen, friends, fans and the press and best, who I'm supporting most important of elections. And with full knowledge of my opinions, no more or less important than those of any of my fellow citizens. Here's my answer. I'm supporting Kamala Harris for president and Tim Walts for vice president and opposing Donald Trump and JD Vance. Here's why. We are shortly coming upon one of the most consequential elections in our nation's history. Perhaps not since the Civil War. Has this great country felt as politically, spiritually and emotionally divided as it does than at this moment? It doesn't have to be this way. The common values, the shared stories that make us a great and united nation are waiting to be rediscovered and retold once again. Now that will take time, hard work, intelligence, faith and women and men with the national good guiding their hearts. America's the most powerful nation on earth, not just because of our overwhelming military strength or economic power, but because of what she stands for, what she means, what she believes in. Freedom, social justice, equal opportunity, the right to be and love who you want. These are the things that make America great. Donald Trump is the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime. His disdain for the sanctity of our constitution, the sanctity of democracy, the sanctity of the rule of law, and the sanctity of the peaceful transfer of power should disqualify him from the office of president ever again. He doesn't understand the meaning of this country. It's history or what it means to be deeply American. On the other hand, Kamala Harris and Tim Walts are committed to a vision of this country that respects and includes everyone, regardless of class, religion, race, your political point of view or sexual identity. And they want to grow our economy in a way that benefits all, not just a few like me on top. That's the vision of America I've been consistently writing about for 55 years. Now everybody sees things different and I respect your choices as a fellow citizen. But like you, I've only got one vote. And it's one of the most precious possessions that I have. That's why, come November 5th, I'll be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walts. Thanks for listening. - Fuck off, Bruce. Why does everybody keep saying the word dangerous? What is so dangerous? That's what I'm trying to figure out. Why is Trump so fucking dangerous? 'Cause we don't want to go to war, what is it? - Yeah, it's dangerous to them, right? Yeah, you got to think about it in that way. It's like people that have set up a certain system for themselves. I've been saying this for years on the show, years and years and years, fucking six years now. The aristocracy will protect itself before it protects any particular motive or agenda or policy or even political party, right? They need war, that's the tit. That's war, convincing somebody that somebody across the world hates you, right? Is the easiest way to steal from them. It always has been. All throughout all of human history, this is not new. And somebody who comes in and erupts that, well, that's dangerous to them. And that's how they conceptualize in their head. Like, oh, that's a threat to my existence, right? To the existence of this thing we've built. So that's how they communicate it to people, right? And then you have to go find anecdotes to show that he's dangerous, right? Whether they're true or not, it doesn't matter. You just keep saying them over and over until people believe it. People still think that Charlottesville stuff is true. They think he's racist. Trump said many of these people coming across the border of murderers and rapists. Well, now we've got the data on that. We know for a fact that's true, right? - And they've given you exact numbers too. Murderers, everything else. Like those numbers are out. - Yup. - Yup. And for me, whenever I hear about racial divide and all this other fucking bullshit, like we have a show on this network called "Street Gonzco." He goes everywhere, you know, in America. Where's he been the last Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta? Like all kinds of fucking places. Zero problems whatsoever. Everybody typically gets along. Yeah, you might disagree on political opinions here and there. We don't really see fucking racism. You and I don't see it. We've been traveling together for six fucking years doing live shows close to two or 300 now at this point. And I don't fucking see it in real life. I don't see it unless somebody keeps telling you over and over again in your face. Racism, racism, racism, everything's fucking bad out there. - The only place you see even the conversation happening is white liberal women or idiots on college campuses, right? You don't, real people don't think about that shit. Real people aren't out there even considering how somebody else thinks of them. That's not how human beings work. You think about the people close to you and how they think about you, right? - Yeah. - But that's it. That's how it's all manufactured nonsense. And you got to, the important question is why is it being manufactured and it's sustainable? Why? Divide and conquer, right? Somebody's trying to divide you. They are trying to conquer you. That's how it works. - But to get you on whatever side it is, it just doesn't make any sense to me. - No, to make it okay that they're doing the shit they're doing to you, to make it okay that they fucking reach into your wallet and immediately take 30 or 40% and then take another 20 later on and sales tax and value added tax and all this other horse shit, right? You can't fuck somebody up like that and not give them a reason for it. You know what I mean? Think of it this way, I hit you because I love you. This hurts me more than it hurts you. That's exactly what the fuck it is. And it's got to be communicated that way to people otherwise they would rebel constantly. That's it. It's really that fucking simple. It's just an abusive man. It's abusive man in a fucking relationship. That's all it is. That's what the government is to people. And that's what it always has been. - But when I saw this video this morning, I'm just seeing Chris Pratt's right before that, I'm like, God damn it, Bruce, you're so fucking tons F. He just sold his catalog for 500 million dollars. And look, all of it's intentional. I'm in a flannel, I'm in this fucking small coffee shop and small diner in New Jersey just trying to figure it out with a working man, trying to get all you working man out there. I've been writing about this for 55 years. Cool, Bruce. You know how long you've been rich, 54 of those years. Now, the first one was probably pretty shocking where you're like, oh fuck, I got some money now. You've had a long time to be on the other side of that of 54 fucking years just because you're writing about it doesn't mean you're living it. And that's what pisses me off. And again, at this time with what's going on in America, it's just so fucking tone deaf, dude, where you're like, bro, who's buying this bullshit? So you love to see the Chris Pratt's of the world and then it's juxtaposed with this fucking asshole where you're just like, man. - Yeah, but there are Chris Pratt's in the world and that's why we always win. That's why humanity exists today is because there's Chris Pratt's and Tim Kennedy's and Jaco's and Sarah's and Nick Palmishano's. We're always gonna win. It just might take a little bit longer sometimes but we never lose. And it's because those people are circuits on the circuit board allowing the power of people to fucking flow through them. That's it. Chris talked about, save our allies. He's been a supporter since day one since 2021 since it started. And a lot of other people who have never been heard from on the issue financially and materially supported things like with helicopters and jets and applying economic pressure on different countries that we were dealing with and all kinds of other bullshit that happened. There's a lot of good people out there. There's a lot more good people than bad people. I'll say that. But there's a lot of weakness. Like good people can be weak too and they need leadership and that's stage two, right? Like that swell of emotion you feel that drives you to action is the first step. The second step is wrangling that and finding the best way that you can help. And then the third step is becoming a leader and making sure other people know how to take that transition as well. And that's on all of you to do that. It just, that's how it works. Leadership comes not from the top down but from the bottom up always. - And then we got some breaking news here regarding FEMA. And I don't know if this is Republican or Democrat here. So you can look her up, Bob. But it says representative Nancy Mace, I don't know who that is, has introduced a bill forcing FEMA to redirect all funds from illegals to disaster relief. Says here FEMA has spent over $1 billion on accommodating illegals in the past few years alone. Now they're saying we don't have enough money for hurricane relief when entire towns have been wiped out. Who is that and where is she from? - She's a South Carolina Republican. - Nancy Mace is a fucking savage. She talks a lot of shit. - Does she? - The one that was hammering fucking Michael whatever the fuck. Michael William Dyson, Michael Eric Dyson, that black preacher guy. - Oh yeah. - Oh the black man. He's like you've never fucking been in a black neighborhood in your life, dude. What are you talking about? - She wants you to sit it down. - He took a picture of them together and was like flirting with her over text. And then he started talking shit later. She goes, hey dude, she posted on Twitter. She's like, hey dude. - Really? - You've been flirting with me in private. Fuck you talking about. What'd you say Bob? She wants you to sit it out? - Yeah. - Sit it out on UGA. - Yeah, she's a fucking savage. I mean, I don't know that much about her voting record or politics or anything, but she is a fucking wild asshole. So yeah, this is right up her alley, this sort of thing. - Yeah. And then the next one here that's going viral is Mayorkas. Bob, check your DMs on Twitter. You can pop up this video here. And this was statements from three months ago from Mayorkas. Go ahead and press play there. - Ifima is tremendously prepared. This is what we do. This is what they do. And the key here, Rebecca, is also to make sure that the communities who are potentially impacted are prepared as well. And it's not just hurricanes and wildfires, also extreme heat, which certainly some parts of the United States are already experiencing. The Secretary Alejandro Mayork is sounding the alarm on FEMA funding right after the devastation of Hurricane Helene. Listen. - We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting. We do not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season. - This all comes as the Biden-Harris administration. - It's been over a billion dollars from a FEMA program on services for migrants. Attorney General, the great state of Florida Ashley Moody joins me now. - Okay, you can cut it there. So with Mayorkas, what you heard at the top was three months ago. FEMA's greats. We're thriving. We're completely prepared. One storm happens and they're like, "Well, we're out of money. We're not prepared. We can help kind of, but not really. Introducing a bill like this. I don't even know how long this would take. - Well, I don't even think Congress is in session right now. Aren't they all back in their districts campaigning right now? - I think they are, yeah. - I think they would have to. The elections in fucking a month soon. - Yeah, I don't even know how long it would take to pass this or what it would look like or everything else. Now, when he's saying there's another one coming, is that on the books right now? Is there another hurricane that's out there? To my knowledge, I have not heard of one yet? - That time of year. - It is that time of year for sure. But I didn't know if there was one out there that he was specifically referencing, potentially. That's Jim Cantor. Saw him party in New Orleans. Shit, that was another hurricane I was in, dude. Jim Cantor, he was trashed at this absence bar. Del Key, you were just there. Do you remember the world's oldest bar in New Orleans? That absence bar? - La Fizz. - Yes. - La Fizz, yeah. - Yeah, dude. So it was just me, Jesse, Jim Cantor, and like two of his crew members. 'Cause we were stuck in this hurricane, essentially everybody had evacuated. - Hurricane Kirk. - Is out there right now? And where is that at? In the Gulf of Mexico? - Mm. - So can like... - There's just me out of where I'll look. - I can really see you through that shit, dude. I'm a little storm chaser inside. After watching Twisters, I feel like I'm in it, dude, and I can do it. - So it looks like it's a category five. - Fuck, where's that at? - It looks like it's right here right now. - All right, yeah, it's not gonna hit us. - I don't get good. - Yeah, good. But yeah, if there's gonna be more, I'm sure, it usually ends, I don't know what, November, right? We got about another month of this, and then that's kind of it. The water is usually too cold in like December and shit, so. - They're saying that it's the most intense hurricane of the season, but thankfully it is-- - This one, yeah, okay, good. But it's apparently not gonna hit, so. - Okay, so maybe that was the one he's referencing, but the fact that you're out of money after one, ain't great, and yeah, that money should be taken away from every illegal program we potentially have out there and re-diverted to these funds like, this makes fucking zero, god damn sense whatsoever. - Yeah, yeah, I mean, we shouldn't be spending any money on illegal immigrants except for to remove them from this country. - So that's pretty much it, it's pretty much that easy. - But back to, by the way, the other stuff with Save Our Ally, so we've converted the company right now to only do North Carolina shit. - Okay. - So if you go to the justsaveourallies.org, they re-organize the site as well, so the first thing you're gonna see is an aid request, so if you're in North Carolina, in that area and you need shit, you can fill out a form there to get stuff. There's also a volunteer form we've got, I think probably today will crest 500 volunteers. - That's awesome. - A pretty wide array of people, some like 90 year old Vietnam vet from the 82nd approached 10 this weekend, was like, hey, how can I help? It's like, don't die. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You're fucking a thousand years old, but you know, that's the American spirit. People and active military who are taking their annual leave instead of at Thanksgiving and Christmas to go help these people. And then, so you can sign up for that volunteer list there, and then there's a donation thing as well, and all that money's going to North Carolina. - Okay. Yeah, 'cause that was the hardest hit right now. And yeah, great organization. - A bunch of people have been asking me this too, if you've got supplies and you just wanna drive 'em in and drop 'em off and do that even more than once, the Regional Distribution Center is at 118, that's 118, Maccab Drive, MCABE Drive, Henderson, North Carolina. You can, there's a fucking, some kind of, I don't know if it's a warehouse or what's going on there, but you can deliver supplies there. - Yeah, usually, in this little setup, kinda post like huge warehouses or air spaces or whatever it is, and you can go and drop off supplies there. Hendersonville is right outside of Asheville, so that way you're not the ones driving up through the mountains on the roads that are washed out and all that other stuff, so that's probably the smartest place and the safest for everybody to deliver and get in and out of there. Because the one lane roads that I was talking about the other day that go all the way up through those mountains to all those affected areas, one, half of them are washed out. I mean, sinkholes, all of it are gone. Two, you're not gonna be able to get up there on your own and leave that to the professionals who have the vehicles and the equipment or all that other stuff. - Well, those drones at the DOT and FAA are trying to shut down, and it's not people at the DOT or people at the FAA, it's fucking Buttigieg doing that. They've been mapping the area to see where the fucking roadways are open and trying to build, trying to use AI actually to build a new updated map of where the fuck we can get in and out of more easily. So that's happening right now. We'll see how it develops over the next couple of days. This, again, we're recording this on Friday and it publishes Sunday night, so a lot could have changed between now and then, as far as that address, that's gonna be there permanently. So if you've got supplies, you can drop them off there. As far as volunteering, keep volunteering, and now the 80 seconds getting involved now, so we'll see what the need is after that. There's gonna be some commercial needs as well. We don't know yet, frankly. So just try to be patient if we're able to save our allies. Give us some money. - And to your points about keep giving supplies and keep helping, this isn't like a weak thing, and it's, oh, we're all cleaned up here. This is gonna be-- - Years. - Yes. I can't confirm this, but I've seen some reports. Well, one chimney rock is completely gone, and their city council is talking about, they're talking about bulldozing the entire place flat, including the bodies that are there, right? 'Cause they don't have any way of dealing with this shit. Now, that'll be the body's part that won't happen, because now the government will get involved, but it's people are like, people are not feeling great. It's fucked up there, and yeah, I mean, just be patient for now. Don't overreact into this stuff. I know that's a weird thing to say in a time, in a tragic time like this, but you kind of have to calm the fuck down and think of it this way. For those of you who are sports fans, think of the way that Levion Bell used to run the football, right? Pause right behind the line, see where the gaps aren't run through 'em. Sometimes you gotta take a beat. - Patience. - Yeah, patience. And there's also this woman, I don't know if you guys have seen this stuff. It's on my Instagram story. There's a lot of them, though. Let me see where the original post is. - While you're looking for that, I'll kind of give you an update on Chimney Rock here. There is some rumors going around that there was government seizure of Chimney Rock. They're saying that is false. - That's not true, yeah. But there is a new, one thing people don't know, we talked about that quartz minus Bruce Pines. There's also a lithium mine that was set to open sometime in the spring, I believe, that's in that area. And people are very concerned that the federal government is gonna try to pull, yeah, that's it. That people are gonna try to pull, or the federal government's gonna try to pull the same bullshit they did in Hawaii, which is to try to seize that land or some shit like that. So, I mean, look, you telling me a story about the government fucking people over and I believe you without asking questions, to be honest, because that's how they operate. - Yeah, so, so far, though, the government seizure of Chimney Rock has not happened. I've been there many, many times. It sits on that river, so that's what happened. I mean, it just, once the floods came, it nuked out the entire town, and it's very, very small. It's mostly mom and pop diners. There's a couple breweries that I went to and take the kids down there to get some toys, crafts, like homemade stuff. This is not corporate owned. These are real people, real businesses that have been in that area for many, many years, and now they have nothing. I mean, no homes or businesses. And yeah, you essentially have to take a bulldozer to this entire place, because I don't know how you rebuild from what I've seen in regards to the footage. Now, the video that you posted, I've seen going viral this morning. Go ahead and play that, Bob. - And by the way, before we just pause over a sec, we're looking for this person, so if you can find her, if anybody knows her. I'm sure somebody has to know her, because she's in the fucking military, so. - Oh, she is. - Yeah, and she lives in Asheville, I think she's a guardsman, or maybe something I don't actually know, but play it. - I'm military, so, you know, flags aren't supposed to touch a ground, and I mean, there's everything everywhere. People are looting and stuff, and I just figured just to pick this up. I'm gonna go home and wash it, and probably hang it up on my porch or something. I guess I saw this as a sign of like, we're gonna get through this. It might take a few months to recover, but you know, there's hope at the end of the day, you just gotta have faith, and just wait it out. (gentle guitar music) - And even looking at that devastation, now that people are able to get some cameras up there, and Jesus Christ. - I just picked it up. - Yeah, it's fucked. - Yeah, and again, I'll say one more time. It's going to take years. This is not a quick fix, weeks, months, whatever. Keep checking in on these people, and keep donating with what you can. And last night, I was a pretty late helping out listeners who were going up there with supplies. A ton of people are helping out, and the overwhelming thing from most of the listeners is, hey man, we'll drive by. FEMA, they're not doing shit up here. Like, nobody's doing a goddamn thing up here, so. It's cool that everybody's taken it upon themselves to help out on their own. 'Cause you can't wait in a situation like this. - I've got an update on that address. He sent the wrong address. So it's 118 Maccab Court, M-C-A-B-E Court Flat Rock, North Carolina, 28731, which is, Flat Rock's a suburb of Hendersonville. I just wanted to get the exact address. I mean, if you Google it, it's gonna show up no matter what, but that's it, it's 118 Maccab Court. - Flat Rock and not Hendersonville. - Flat Rock, yeah. - Okay. Yeah, 'cause they'll be there for a long time, man. Shit. But as all this is going on, obviously we got an election coming up here in 30 days. Strange. It's a strange time right now. We're all kind of in this waiting period in this holding pattern to see what's gonna happen. And I don't know what else could possibly happen here as far as a major catastrophe before the thing. Have you heard anything else regarding Iran or any of that shit? 'Cause I haven't heard a fucking word. - No. No, I mean, I'm telling you, I sincerely believe that the same thing just happened with Iran and Israel that happened with Iran in the US in 2020, which is for those of you that didn't hear that conversation is essentially that Iran gets hammered to save face. They've gotta do something so they call ahead and say, here's where we're sending our munitions, get your people out of there. They sent 200 rockets and missiles towards Tel Aviv, which is a very densely populated area and didn't kill a single person. There's no, like go ahead and halt the suspension of your disbelief because that ain't how war works. It's not once in the history of fucking human beings has that been how war works. Iran called ahead and said, hey, we don't actually wanna kill any Israelis. So, but we gotta do something. And that's, I promise you, that's exactly what happened. - No shit. And the other story we've been following throughout the week was the port strike. So that ended, workers did agree to a tentative deal on wages in a contract extension. And they're gonna extend it through January 15th to provide time to negotiate a new contract. - Well, see, they could have, the Taft Hartley Act would have allowed the federal government to force that anyways. You saw it in that fucking go-teed Gaylord's fucking video, that guy that drinks come all the time, whatever, I can't remember his name, but he's fucking gay and he sucks dick constantly. That's who he is, fuck you. Anyways, he alluded to it in his video, but yeah, the Taft Hartley Act allows the federal government to send people back to work for 90 days while they negotiate a cooling off period that's called. So that would have happened anyways, especially during election season, especially during Q4, it would have happened anyways. So yeah, this is just, this is, in my opinion, it's the union capitulating a little bit 'cause they don't wanna look bad. - Well, here's what they settled on. So it says the ILA wages will increase 61.5% over six years under the new tentative agreements sources told CNBC, whoo! They offered 50 initially, and that seemed pretty fucking high. I can't remember a negotiation where you've gotten 62% essentially there to increase over the next six years. Jesus Christ, man, that's a lot. Somebody didn't want the economy crippled. Who do you think made that call at the end of the day? - Who knows, man? I'm sure it's a deal. I'm sure they probably gave him money. That's how it usually works is the mob that backs him gets 50K in a fucking duffel bag or some shit like that and they call it off for a couple of days. That's usually how it works. It's extortion, like unions are nothing but a machine for extortion. Now, I'm not kidding. - No, I know, the funny thing about what you said was they reached the deal and all meetings were held in New Jersey because of course they were. - Yeah. (laughing) - Yeah, fucking Tony's a proud opponent. - Tony's a brand new dude. James Gandolfini came back to life and helped out with this. - Yeah, it says the collective bargaining process really worked. Said Julie Sue in an interview with Squawk on the street. We've all been saying it all along when workers have a real voice at the table and when they can help to determine the conditions of their jobs, we're seeing really historic gains for working people and we're also seeing it because we have such a strong economy. So she works for the White House. Companies that are making record profits are realizing that's when they do right by their workers. It's just not just for working people. It's better for industries. It's better for the future. All right, so yeah, somebody made a call to say, "Hey, get rid of this right before the election. "This is too much right now. "We're fucking under it." 61 and a half percent increase? Jesus Christ, man. Boak. That is a big boy number, dude. Homeboy got what he wanted. What did fucking Buttigieg say here? He said in a statement, "The parties are not as far as part as it sounded "on economics." Yeah, it was only 20%, you know? Not a big deal. Fucking Mongoloid. There were strong positions, strong personalities, but there was a deal space. He added that hurricane, Helene, played a role in moving closer to a deal. That's one thing that I emphasized when I was talking to the ocean carriers, urging them to get a deal. You know, the last thing that emergency responders need is to be looking over their shoulder, wondering if they're gonna be impacted by a strike. Cool. They also needed to know that FEMA was gonna help them against some cash too, Pete, but you can only say so much here. Let's see, 50,000 of the 85,000 members were on strike this week. Harold Daggett. Who's the one? Okay. God, I got it, got it. And the Sioux woman is the acting labor secretary there for the Biden administration. I've never heard of this person. But it's good on her, you know? Good on her for pulling it out miraculously there and just only giving him 61 1/2%. Fuck, dude. Did you imagine somebody trying to negotiate and sell one 61 1/2% more? Yeah, they would be negotiating with the door on the way out. I would fire them immediately. Fuck it, man. I've never heard of a number that big in my entire life regarding union strikes or any of that shit. What the fuck, man? Holy cow. Especially somebody making 150,000 a year with 30 or 40,000 additional in medical benefits. Yeah. Like your rate, and if you include the pension per year, you're raking in, pension, and even if there's an IRA they're paying into as well. It's $200,000 a compensation a year. Yeah, dude. And in this economy, you're going to fucking, like at this point in American history with everything all fucked up. It's like, well, I'm going to get mine. That's who these people are. So fuck them. Well, they got it. I hope, as Bob said, I hope they build a robot to replace all of them and then build a second robot to fuck them up their ass. Six years, six years. So what do you do there in all sincerity? Do you start to tech and then slowly-- You speed up automation. You speed up automation. No, not slowly. Before the end of this contract, they should be gone. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, over the six years. Because it is a six-year deal. I know that's what Hollywood did. Hollywood did that with the actors and the writers and all that shit. And they were like, cool man, you want to strike? And you want to do it over this bullshit in automation and AI? Awesome, man. Wait until pilot season happens. We're not going to fucking film anymore. We're not going to do any of this shit. And then we're going to take a meeting with the head of everybody doing AI and figure out how to fuck you over for shutting the town down for so long, which is exactly what happened there. Netflix was the first one sitting in on that meeting, by the way. I think it was Sam Altman, actually. Shit, full circle moment here. The guy who fucked us at the top of the show and then the guy who's fucking over Hollywood at the end of the show. Now is the point in the show. We get to the drinking bro of the week. You can submit at drinkingbros.com. Bob Polipa, drinkingbros.com here. Got some merch on the site as well. I believe it's the top writer left. You can fill out the submission for drinking bro of the week, and it'll get sent to you right away. Oh, he's got the Ohio State hats on up there. So we're meeting a ton of listeners out there who are flying out for the Ohio State Oregon game. We'll give you details on bar, tailgates, and all that other stuff next week. We'll also drop a pin in drinking bro sports in the Oregon groups and all the Northwestern groups on Facebook. But they were working on getting gear for both teams. So they got their Ohio State hats outs. The Oregon stuff is out there as well. Yes, Delco, I got you a little Oregon short for the game. Get those all in drinkingbros.com. And while you're there, you can submit for drinking bro of the week. This one just came in from Will Mangoall. Damn it, man. What is this? Can I just get a Tom Smith? Just one, you know, Tom Smith, by the way, or George, or Skippy or something like that. It is M-A-N-G-U-A-L. Will Mangoall? Sure, sorry, sorry. Will, then I'm fucking this up here. From Virginia, he's been a listener since 2019. He's nominating Denny Teeter, who is deceased. My drinking bro is my grandfather. My piece of shit father wasn't a part of my life. And my grandfather stepped up, insured. I understood the outdoors, hunting, fishing, shooting, importance of family, and standing up for others, and not taking yourself too seriously. He's a retired army vet and remain proud of my Marine Corps service as I approach retirement myself. He taught me the importance of having principles and that they will falter, that if they falter, when times get tough, you don't have principles. He passed away on November 10 of 2023 at the age of 84. He was a good man and a good father above all else. Cheers, Will, and I'm sorry that I fucked up your name. I mean, he knew before-- Well, some people you know-- Like they'll still fanatically put some shit in there so I can understand it. He didn't, sorry. I think it's kind of part of the bit at this point. It's not a bit. I'm really fucking up the science. No, I mean, like part of the bit for the people sending them-- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. I'm sure when he was typing that out, he was either thinking or saying to another drinker, bro, there's no way this stupid bitch is ever going to say this word right. Oh, that's correct. What is that, like fucking Filipino or some shit? M-A-N-G-U-A-L, look it up. Bob, what is that? What is a man-gual, man-gual, man-gual. Ah, Spanish origin. OK. Originated in Puerto Rico, it's a variation of the Catalan name, Catalan name, man-gual, yeah. So he's Puerto Rican. OK, I got you. Puerto Rican. Yeah, and then a couple of things to wrap up the end of the show here. So we've gotten a bunch of messages and tweets and all that other stuff about some of those dynamic ad insertions that go on that aren't read by Dan and I on the show. There was some Biden ads, I guess, in front of these shows and like Project 2025, which isn't even a fucking thing. We actually talked to the platform and the hosting service and all that other stuff last night for about two hours and tried to figure it out. And we talked to their entire tech department because we have the politics thing turned off on ours. So it's not as if you can turn on like Democrats or Republicans. It's just one thing that you check off and be like, hey, dude, I don't want any political ads running whatsoever. We've checked those off. What happened was-- and this is a big thing that's going on-- is Democrats have been buying up these pre-roll ads for conservative shows. We were one of them and then I've seen your complaints on YouTube over and over again. YouTube doesn't give a fuck. It's highest bidder and all that other shit. Red Circle or hosting platform does have the ability, AI-wise, to go in there and block out certain keywords. But what they're doing, Dan, that they told me last night, is they're checking off different boxes. So they're saying they're a clothing company or a fitness brand or something like that. - Fitness digging your mouth. - Exactly. Exactly. So know that that is not us. And when it pops up, we'll delete it. Luckily, this only happens every four years. And obviously, it's right around this time. And that's kind of it. One other question that I've been just bearing with two DM-wise was, I don't know why that show did so well. But when I was talking about my dead dad and Harris, it ended up in the charts all week. And people were going back and forth about it online. A listener's dad died at Harris as well. And he goes, bro, we're Eskimo dead dad brothers there. They died at the same hotel. And I thought that was pretty fucking funny. The other thing, too, is they said, hey, you never explain what happened to the envelope. Because I can't. There is no reason that I got that name on an envelope. None of us has been able to figure it out. And it's not like you overheard something or everything else. The car is literally registered in the company's name for Tetherball Academy Media. So that part, we can never figure out. And I never got an answer. So it was just really fucking bizarre. And I thought I'd share that story. But apparently, a lot of people's relatives have died in weird places like that. So it resonated and hung around the charts all week. And yeah, super strange. I was not aware that they would just clean out the room 48 to 72 hours later and then just put people in there. And then, hey, that's it, man. Because a bunch of other listeners said, do you know many people have died in probably all the hotel rooms you've stayed in? And I was like, shit, I never thought about it. Never fucking thought about it. But here we are and we'll be in another hotel room next week. So when I get there, I'll take a picture of the room. I'll post it and drink in bros. And then we can just try to guess how many people died in this room. I'm probably-- I haven't decided yet. If I'm going to wear Ohio State or Oregon stuff. Ohio State's going to win the game by at least 14, at least by two touchdowns. I think so, too. But I don't know. I'm still trying to decide-- and I guess we can talk about it during the week-- if I'm going to troll or blend. You know what I mean? I haven't decided yet. You should blend two every word. Words of Donald Trump, wrong. Oregon wins by a score. Wait, say-- Oh, no, you're out of your fucking mind. Yeah, I'm fine. Yeah, there's-- 38.24 is my prediction right now. Or the last-- I've got the exact score in my mind. The one time that Oregon saw a competent running back this year, they got fucking annihilated. Who was Ohio State played? Doesn't matter. I mean, who was Oregon played? Boise. They beat Boise. Boise's going to make the playoffs. Well, look, you know I love Boise. Boise's my soft spot. I love-- always bet on Boise. That has been my motto on this show since day one. I love Boise. Currently trying to negotiate with Boise for hard AF Seltzer. I love my Boise boys out there. I love it. Love the Smurf turf. I love all of it. They have one of the very best running backs in the nation who might go in the first rounds. We'll see. Yeah, we'll see. But he's up there. He's certainly-- if anybody else is as good as him, they're as good as him. They're just better. That's what I think. They're not ready for a true Drogame in Eugene. It's going to get loud. I know it's only 55,000 people, but it's loud. It's Juggen. Juggen, Travon, Henderson, and James P-- James Peoples, I think, is a red shirt freshman. Five star, yeah. And he is-- he would be starting on any other team, and he's the third string running back on Ohio State. He'll be the starter for everything in the nation. Except for maybe Boise. Well, we'll have to do a bet. Yeah, we'll do something. Look, this is one where-- so throughout the season, usually I'll drop like one fucking heavy mid-season bet. This will be it for me. This will be like a 5K, or tune into-- to drink a bro sports, by the way. This will be a 5K or on Ohio State. I've looked around at spreads. What I could find so far is one, one and a half right now, but it's not available in my book yet, so I don't really know. I will say this. You are in trouble if Oregon scores 24 points. Like, the defense is the strength. Or if Oregon's scoring 24 points, I wouldn't feel good. The offense is also a strength. Let's face it. You got to say you're going to lose. I'm just saying Oregon's scoring 24 is not a good outcome. For wide receivers-- look, I'm giving respect to Oregon. I think that wide receivers are fast, man. And I think Will Howard's always good for one bad pick a game, whatever that is, which I can live with. That's fine. And I'll give him a little bit of respect because it's at home, for sure. And those guys are quick out there. But the end score, I think, is going to be 38-24. And it's also Chip Kelly's going home, dude. He wants to fucking embarrass these guys with a sexy, fun new offense. And I love it. I love it. We'll be there. So we'll see you there. Our flight gets in like late Thursday night. But we'll give you the details for Friday. And then we'll be at the game on Saturday. I did get the tickets for the game, Delco. And we are behind the Oregon bench. So I'm sure I'll be the only guy wearing red over there on that side. I know Danoff will be wearing red, too. But he's not sitting with us. So I don't know where his seats are. But we're sitting weird directly behind the fucking Oregon bench. It wasn't intentional. I just said, hey, gave me the best you got. And then I looked it up afterwards. And I was like, oh, motherfucker. But I've never been. We've never been to this stadium. Looks fun. Looking forward to seeing you guys next week. We'll do a live show on Friday. And then we'll drink with the afterwards at the bar. There was a drink of a listener who hit us up, as well, about potentially doing it there. So we'll settle on it this weekend with Ryan Mills. I'm going to call him after the show, and we'll get you all the deets next week. And we got about 20 listeners that are flying out, as well. And you guys are always, always welcome to join us. Appreciate you tuning in, kids. Go to iTunes, rate the show a five-star, and leave a quick review. Also, head on over to Spotify. It's just a five-star. And you can walk away. If you want to donate or help out to what's going on over there, saverallies.org. Great organization, and they're really helping people out. So that would help, as well. For Dan from Dan and Anthony Holloway, I'm Ross Patterson. This is the Drinking Bros. podcast, good night of the morning.
