(music) Welcome to Drinking Bros. Presented by ghostbed.com (music) Sit back, relax it, grab a fuckin' drink. Yeah, welcome to Drinking Bros, kids! These Wednesday shows always get weird. And it's past two, so you know my rules. Always drinking on this. It was gone yesterday, was in Atlanta, Georgia for Heart AF Seltzer. Wanna give a shout out to our distributor, Crown, down there. Just gotta send us some Kroger's in Huntsville, Alabama. Buy it out! Buy out Heart AF Seltzer in Huntsville, Alabama at those Kroger's, trying to go national with it because it's hard. Today, we got Lucinda from Moinkbox on the show, just to tell you how tough it is when you have your own company, the world's against ya. We're in booze, we're not in farming, farming's even fuckin' worse. Oh, we be brawling. Yeah! (laughter) We throw down. (laughter) You too be brawling. I do the ad reads here, and you guys have heard 'em every single show since it's inception with this, it's moinkbox.com/drinkinbros. Now you know you're gettin' a free year of bacon and all that other stuff, and I'll read the ad, I'll talk about 60% of pork, and everything else comes from China. You're the owner of the company. Yeah. I'm reading a letter that was fired off by said company who claims that they don't have 60% of the farming industry here in the pork in the United States of America. We're gonna get real coy today, and I'm gonna have some fun with it. You ready? Sure. This is Wikipedia. "Blank" is a pork producer and food processing company based in blank. It operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Chinese-owned conglomerate WH Group. Yeah. Okay, great. Now, this letter from the lawyer that went to you, which I will not show to camera here on YouTube today, was addressed to you, your company, and then the Rubin Report, which you were on air discussing your product with them? I wasn't. They picked that up on there, and then once I believe they quoted me saying a certain statement as far as majority of U.S. pork comes from one company wholly owned by the Chinese. So the reason that- I guess I'll have to sue Wikipedia as well. Yeah, we're suing. We're basically what we're saying is we're not saying their name because I believe they would like me to because that's accepting the invitation to the argument, which we will do later this year because I mean, clearly, I have a legacy to stand on. So let's brawl. Yeah. You know, I'll bring my guys. You bring your guys, and let's just throw down. But for now, basically what they did is send this intimidation letter that said, like, shut the fuck up. Sit down. Stop talking. And so when asked to wonder this particular company who shall not be named, why is it a multi-billion dollar company gives two shits about a girl like me from rural America doing twenty five million dollars a year? Why would you care? I don't know. One, two. They actually put a time code in here. I've been in a million of these goddamn things. So they actually gave the exact minute and second that the statements were made. And to go back to what you said earlier, so you were not on the show? Was this an ad-read buy? Must have been. Yeah. Ruben report? You read? Yeah. Twice a month. Why don't you get a letter? Did you get your feelings heard? To be honest, we don't really check the mail here, and if we get -- if we were to get a letter like that, man, that would be the best day of my life. That would be the best day ever, huh? Yeah. And why is it that they like stalked me to the second? And I think they say in there, like, you didn't say our name, but we know you were talking about us. Yeah. Well, that's what I find odd about this -- What are we in high school? This letter. It says -- and I'll read this part because -- Yeah, you can read it just about their name. So in these segments that were made on the Ruben report podcast on December 18, 2023, and January 2, 24, and Jan 29, 24, and Jan 24, 24, so they're going after every ad-read here. In those segments, you made certain claims about a company with 60% of the U.S. pork market share, which given its primacy? In the U.S. marketplace can only refer to our client's company. Sure, yeah. If the statement is false, how would you even know that that was said company? That's like running around and being like, if I went up and I was like, "Hey, look, there's this guy from Texas, and he's a motherfucker." And you come in and be in going like, "I know you were fucking talking about me." Yeah. It's like, what? Get on the motherfucker. I'm the motherfucker you were talking about. It's like, wait a second. So you just, like I said, no names, but because I said there's a motherfucker controlling the pork industry, has a big conglomerate, you came back and said, "I know you were talking about me." Yeah. I mean-- Well, read the rest because there's other stuff in there that challenge. You're on a lot of podcasts. So again, I'm really disappointed that we didn't get one of these. So it says, "You stated that said company is owned by the Chinese, which is not true because the company's never been said. It's not in my ad reads. It's not in Ruben's either. And that's this company's Hogs Are Fed Ractopamine." Ractopamine. God, so I've been saying it wrong for a year then. Yeah. Well, like-- It's just your antibiotics. That's easier for someone like you. Of course they are. Well, just say for the dummies, huh? Drawers. For the dummies. So again, this is Wikipedia. It operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Chinese Own Conglomerate WH group. Now, if you're curious about the distinction between China and maybe some other nearby place that isn't technically China, or at least according to them, Hong Kong, the trades of the Hong Kong market, the CEO of this company is Wen Long. That's the name of the parent company. He's a billionaire businessman and the CEO of this group and that group and so on and so forth. And he lives in China. So I'm not sure what the fuck they're talking about. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. An accurate targeting letter of all time. Yeah. Yeah. If I can look the shit up on Wikipedia that shows you're full of shit, you've made a mistake hiring your attorneys. They even sent the link to their publicly traded company to where you can go and look it up. We should send them a link to Levin Party. Yeah. We should. Let's say the group in here, the Dangis mentioned, which is an investment company. And it says later on down here in the letter from their lawyer, that's this company. Does not add, say that word again. Racto, pay me. There you go. To the feet of the hogs it raises and has not for some time. Oh, some time. So that means. Like yesterday. Yeah. It's like saying, I haven't been crazy and blown up anybody's farm since, you know, five minutes ago. A motherfucker. Yeah, motherfucker. That was old me. Oh, boy. I just, but it goes on to say that when discussing Moinkbox and are likely to mislead consumers seeking pork products, we request that you refrain from communicating these false statements, concerning said company in the future, said company expressly reserves. It's right. It's right. To take actions. To do so. Now, again, going back to the ad reads that I do here, this company's never been named. It just says 60% of the US work as company. This comes from China. Well, I might say, yeah, doesn't even say it by the Chinese, yeah, wholly owned by the Chinese. If it wasn't true, how would you know that this is the company? Yeah. Well, I think we should negotiate like they want you to shut the fuck up and not say what I can just read from Wikipedia, right? It's their position. Here's mine. Okay. What you got, Dan? Go fuck yourself. I want to say whatever the fuck I want, and you can suck both of my balls and my dick at the same time. Sure. Sure. How about that? But with that, what's when they're delaying their response? I feel like I'm a pretty good negotiator and I've made like things can get tense. I mean, I don't have any of those things that he just told them to suck. A dick and balls? Yeah. 2024. So, yeah, we're going to ask, we're going to ask Bob to come up and check. We don't have to ask. You can take my word for it or I'll knife you in the process. Yeah. Here's a knife by the way. If you need one. My thought is, pop that mic about an inch from your face. Oh man. It always comes in hot at me. There you go. No, no, no, no. We fixed it. We fixed it for you. Yeah. What if I like freak out? Do you want everyone? Well, I would. I would. OJ. Yeah. R.P. OJ. By the way, this is good. Ron Goldman or OJ? The knife. It's like three assholes. Yeah. I get it. Basically. You know, that's what you should have called it. And it's all American-made products, you know? Yeah. So there you are. It's nice. And as somebody that doesn't really drink, I just started last year and like, yeah, I find it nice. That's what we did. That's what we said last year. You're full of shit. I swear to you. Last year you were here and you said, I just started drinking last year. I just started drinking last year. Yeah. You just say that every year. You play the tape. I thought we were fighting so big. Oh, I will. And then I'll have our lawyers send you a fucking letter. We have a time code on it. Yeah. About April last year. April last year? Okay. It's when I started drinking. But with this, why is this such a big deal to these companies? Because it feels like they're trying to shut down pretty much all of American farming and it really does feel like the death of the American farmer is in full progress right now. Well, one does really wonder, it's a serious question, comparatively speaking. I'm a nothing burger. So why do you care what I'm doing? Like why do you even know my name? Yeah. It kind of feels like when Eminem validated MGK. I didn't know who MGK was before. Nobody did. Nope. He had like fucking 50,000 followers on Instagram and I always get like 14 million. Yeah. Also, do you need me to cut this out? Nothing burger is copyrighted by one of these corporations. Yeah. It's actually CNN. It's a meatless burger. It's a man Jones burger. Wait, is it? Aren't there a thing? It's Wendy's or Arby? Not a bit. It's Wendy's or Arby's right now that's running impossible meat. They're like, we're solving the meat problem with more meat. Burger King. Burger King. Shut the fuck up dude. None of it. I think we should look. The next, whatever the next generation of terrorists is, because we had IRA and then we kind of went into the Muslim area. I think the next generation of terrorists needs to be targeting impossible burgers. If they're around. Yeah, if it still exists. They want the financial. I was going to say. They're not viable when I found out. You had them? Follow the money. Can you imagine? Do you have them? No, but it became this big thing. You know, how do you feel about this? Is it going to affect you? Blah, blah, blah. It's in this. First of all, just follow the money. Yeah. If it doesn't financially make sense, it's not going to make sense. Well, they sold out and they were everywhere and it was a huge fad for a while. I had them at a dinner party and somebody was like, oh, you got to try these. Let's all try these. And everybody was stoked. Yeah. It tasted okay, but there was a lot of shit in there to try to get it to make it taste okay. And I was like, man, this doesn't feel safe. What I'm eating right now. Yeah. It's like dyeing your hair purple. It's fun. It's cool, but it's not like your daily go-to. But is it even healthy? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Okay. Again, I hate to appeal to South Park here, but they already covered this issue. With what? So here's how the episode of South Park went. Something happened in the community and they wanted to bring in some, like some, I think they did it no blood for oil style and the guy was like, I'm a goo man, but it was dandel day Lewis's character from that movie in there and he's trying to get everybody to convert to impossible meat. Then it gets into the school cafeteria and everybody's worried that Cartman's going to freak out. Then he finds out it's fake and he gets mad, but then he finds out that it's all processed bullshit that's really bad for you and he's like, oh, okay, I'm on board with this. Yeah. That was how it went. But that's pretty much the case. By the way, that was my thought process at that dinner where I was just like, oh, well, if you put 140 fucking different shitty ingredients anyways, what's the difference of me just eating? It's pretty good too. But I wouldn't drink it. Yeah. Yeah. So my thought is this on that. That's why, like with mwank bacon, it's naked bacon, right? Yeah. It's a lot of bacon you get from the store, has additives, has sugar, has this. It's like, dude, if you don't. I just thought of a pig doing a strip tease or something like that. Naked bacon? Yeah. Yeah. I personally am very modest, but I do like my bacon. To be a slut. Yeah. Slut bacon. Slut bacon. So naked bacon because if you're going to eat a pop tart, eat a pop tart. If you're going to smoke a cigarette, smoke a cigarette. Well, let's not mix buckets. Can our bacon be bacon? Can our pop tarts be pop tarts? Can our poor life choices be poor life choices? I think it's bad. You shouldn't have gone to that thing in the first place, to be honest. The fact that you did makes, yes, absolutely judging him. So if one of my friends invited me over and they were serving some kind of fake meat, I would leave one and not be their friend anymore. So it was actually a surprise dinner. No. It was a surprise dinner. So I didn't know that that's what I was getting. Yeah, but you had the opportunity to, just like Jesus, flip the fucking table over and leave. It was an opportunity to eat it too and I took it. Were the conversations different around this dinner party? Yes, but it was intentional. It was a guest on the show years ago named John Levy who wrote this book where you put a bunch of people together from different backgrounds. You can't tell anybody what you do for a living. You can only go buy a first name and then you have to cook, meal together and then different food and then try it and everybody can have discussions after that and you find out who everybody is afterwards. It's great. I would go to that but I would definitely smoosh fake meat in somebody's face if they tried to hand it to me. Really? Well, you know what's funny is nobody told him what it was until afterwards. So you didn't really know. You can't fucking spot fake meat. Oh, you thought they were like mad. Just cooks? No, no, no. Can I do a timeout? Go ahead. This is all making me want to eat real meat. Yeah. Julie, do you have real meat that we need? Bring it in. Bring it in. They're giving me like anxiety that I'm going to. Bob, why the fuck is that picture up? What could possibly precipitate that? What is happening right there? It's a cow with like a prolapse vagina. No, it's not. It's a pig. It's a pig's vagina. You said naked pig. Just doing what you pay me to do. Oh, god. Oh, wow. Do you see that on a daily basis? We're on so many FBI watch lists of these things. No, we just escalated this whole conversation to a different level that I'm not okay with. Bob, look. You know. Can I just get naked? The guests. Okay. No, the guests. No, she is. But with this impossible burger thing, it was pink and it did have what appeared to be blood like, you know, that was coming out of it. So if you've never had it before and somebody gives it to you, you really, you really don't know. And then afterwards, you're like, Oh, this is, this is, yeah, but we're again. It's 2024. You have to start asking what kind of meat is that? And when I, not just for dinner, right, when you meet a girl, like, Hey, what kind of meat is that? Really? Like this is what roots. That's how we have. Do you have a knife? Yeah. Well, there you go. Yeah, we got knives. Ever just fucking this is a Montana knife company. Nice. Shoot. Let me see. But it's got fucking tape all over it. This is excellent, by the way. Yeah. They're nice knives. What is this? What do I have over here? USA made. Yeah. Those are made in. What do you got? I've got the steak tips. Well, I got the steak tips. Yeah, the marinades, they come marinated, right? So here, this is what we're going to do, Russ. I'm sending some your way. All right. And you're sending steak tips back my way once you load up. Whenever you're here, it's like the today shown. It's always the best of all time because you get to eat, drink, laugh. We just say fucked up shit all day long, but the meat really is the best on the planet here. Yeah, really. You have like a picnic. So what you're eating right there, speaking of the pork industry, this is a bacon broth. So the ends of our bacon, you know, we make the bacon and then the ends as you trim them off to make them look a little nicer for a package of bacon ends. So we take those, grind them up, put them a pork trim, make a real, real clean, brought. This one, I think is bacon, is it bacon, Julie, or is it the jalapeno pineapple? Yeah, bacon, make a couple of different flavors that go through. Bacon is my favorite because it's just very just bacon. Yeah. Yeah. You never get sick of bacon. So serious question here. Yeah. What is the difference between your company and this company that we just discussed from this letter? Flip the fucking tables, Dan. No, we need to, but the audience wants to know if they're buying up U.S. farmers and U.S. farm land, I'm assuming the farmers work for them. Didn't you see those very disgusting photos on that, like, thing that he put up there that you wanted to be a vegetarian? Not me, but listen, if you go, if you see what happens behind the scenes, you'll want to be a vegetarian. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't show a Chinese pig farm. You can just look at the U.S. This is a climate building. This sounds kind of sweet, but it is a tower of pigs. Is that real? Yeah. Yeah, that's in China. Okay. Mm-hmm. Are they doing that in America? No, not a tower like that, but it is a confinement building, which is a, or another cute term they use is stationary. Let me ask you this, what kind of plane would you fly into a pig tower? I mean, I don't know. I don't know. I got something from Boston, L.A., you go full 9/11 on something like that. Yeah. So the major thing is that, look, if you come to my farm, you're not going to, like, freak out and not eat meat for a month, right? Because it works in tandem with nature. It's a farm. There's animals running around. There's grass. There's birds. There's, like, what you think of when you read a book as a child that said what a farm looked like. If you go to, like, a confinement building, you're going to get the eBGBs. It's kind of, like, you feel like you're never going to be the same person. Your nose isn't clean. Animals were meant to be raised outdoors on pasture. In fact, I always say my, my business is so simple, it shouldn't, it have to exist. We raise animals outdoors where a pig can be a pig. We pay farmers fairly. So what? Quality meat. But when you, when you take these other large corporate conglomerates, and yes, four companies do control over 80% of the meat industry as a whole, 60% of the, uh, pork industry in the United States, one company. There's these big, big conglomerates, right? Largest privately held company in the United States, either of you know what it is. Privately held, you mean not publicly traded? No. Not publicly traded. Privately held company in the United States, anybody. Actually, BlackRock, but before Twitter. Who is it? Cargill. I don't know who that is. They're a meat company. Really? Yeah. So, uh, I highly suggest a book called the meat racket, but you know, they're, even in the twenties, there was a big monopoly with meat companies and just all this bullshit that happens where you start to take something that, that should be spread amongst lots of family farms across the country and you condense it down. And then you're trying to like make chickens grow on trees. Well, they don't grow on trees, but they want to like pump them out at a certain size in a like factory rather than on a farm. Yeah. There was a, there was rumor back in the day about KFC that they were making headless chickens. Is that true? They had Cargill. I don't know. I'm not sure if they had headless chickens, but, um, gosh, nothing would surprise me. They were faster to, to mass produce or something like that. Yeah. No clue. I don't know if that's actually real. Looking at Cargill. Yeah. 2008 Cargill had, um, 106 billion in revenue. Billion. Yeah. In 2008. They're meat companies. Jesus Christ. Yeah. How you like me now? In the United States. And who owns Cargill? Cargill. Cargill. It's a family. Isn't it? Is it American or? Yeah. That's what I'm saying. That's why I'm saying it's the largest privately held company in the United States. I think Johnson and Johnson might have been neck and neck, you know, at one point. But I don't know who, Johnson and J&J is publicly traded though. Yeah. But at one point before they went public, I don't know, I forget. So let me ask you this. Is the power in controlling the food source in the United States or is it in the real estate? Um, definitely in the food. And secondly, again, follow the money, $600 billion industry, that's 6% of GDP, right? It's like everybody eats. So there's three things that pretty much all of us do, there might be four, but I only know of three, which is we breathe, we eat and we go to the bathroom. So when you get together with your friends, unless you do yoga, which I do not, you're not saying, hey, let's get together and breathe. You're saying let's get together and eat. Yeah. So it's a market of like, follow the money. But I am what I would consider myself a tenderhearted capitalist. In other words, um, I think you changed the world by making doing the right thing profitable. Right? So that is, I believe that as well, the wealth of nations by Adam Smith in 1776, which is a good year. I'm told. Yeah. Um, for us. It was just about this. It was about the way to drag a country out of poverty is through economic freedom, basically. Yeah. Right. And not decentralized economy, not state run economy, economic freedom. Yeah. Capitalism can be good. And, and if you want to change the world that what you have to do as a company is make your secret sauce doing the right thing, and it's really not so hard, right? So for instance, the quality of this, pass some of that state this way, what the fuck is wrong with you? What's wrong with you? So what the hell you saying? You're in an impossible world, um, not at all. Okay. That's good. This is, this is the best thing. Yeah. The impossible burger thing was a one where it was just like, it was an experience. How do you get it to bleed? Like I had a lot of questions, but whatever. I never had it again. This, the moon. So yeah, every 28 days. I would also like you to know something, Julie. I'm sorry. I'm going to snitch on you. Just a little. Julie doesn't really know how to cook. And yet she just made these for us joy. She has a lot of amazing quality. She's amazing human, but cooking is not necessarily one of her like strong suits. This is pretty fucking good. I'm not going to throw a. She did this in the air fryer. She did this in the air fryer behind. That's how simple it is. Yeah. The pre marinated. Yeah. She just did it right behind the scenes. Yeah. She was right back by the citizen podcast back there. She's making something else special. It's the chat of saying the chat saying that beet juice is used to make the blood. Makes sense. Does it make sense? That's what it looks like. I mean. But it's not probable. So who. No, it doesn't really matter. It's a non-event. Right. So going back to. What made you. Well, what you do for a living and let's take China, for example. So they want to make money off of feeding us because that's what we have to do every single day. Well, first of all, I mean, yes, definitely follow the money. I mean, I'm a bit more sinister in the sense that I am fascinated by some of the things that happened during the height of COVID, whatever you call it. Plannedemic. So at any rate, when it was no longer economically feasible to do so, they shut down a lot of their processing facilities. I found it interesting how, you know, at my facility, of course, we immediately enacted what we call biosecurity protocols, like you would do on a farm, right? There have been animal flus for quite some time. You had, you know, swine flu, bird flu, I mean, this fucking farm again. So there are things that you do. You know, you dip your feet and bleach. You know, I never go the boots I have on right now or just town boots. I don't mix boots in different farms, blah, blah, blah. There's things that you do like common sense. Nonetheless, we did these common sense things. We did all of that. We didn't have it go through our facility, but it was affecting a lot of meat processors and then they were shutting down their facilities. Right now in the state of Missouri, they're shutting down a lot of these confinement buildings. Now my personal opinion of their impact on the community, whether animals should be raised that way, okay, no, I do not agree. Do I believe that my naked bacon is better? Yes, but when California passed a law about how you could only have pork products from certain kinds of hogs, although I agree with that, I also panicked a little because there is so much, there's only so much supply of animals that are raised outdoors. I mean, only 1% of chickens in the United States are raised outdoors. Once proudly, part of that 1%. All of it's in buildings like this. Yes. 89% of the chicken is raised indoors, right? And then all of a sudden there's a law passed that says you can only have chicken that's raised outdoors, although I agree, that's wonderful. How do you feed people? Well, you buy 80% of the chicken from Brazil, which is what we do. Well, yes. What we're doing now? So anyway, 80% of chickens, it's way chickens worse than pork. Yeah. And from like not owned by a conglomerate in China, but literally comes from a different country where we don't know what the fuck's going on down there. So chicken is a, but anyway, my point is, yes, money, financial control, but also think about what in COVID, had it not been for American family farms? You'd have been hungry. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You absolutely would have because these large companies that say, okay, they're too big to fail, has, have we forgot 2008, there's no, I mean, too big to fail one more time. And by the way, I found your company during COVID, because I wanted fresh meat to the house. And at the time, our grocery stores in North Carolina, there was a limit on things. Mm hmm. And that lasted for a long time. Shit, even when we were in Texas and we were about a good year in, there was still a limit on like chicken wings for Christ, where you can only get two packets and it was like, all right, well, what if you have a family of five, six? Yeah. How are you going to feed them? Yeah. And so, you know, the family farm really stepped up during that time. And so you do, so, do I know, I, I don't know, I'm not in politics, but I, I'm just saying logically, if I sit down and think about it and say other than money, would there be any reason to control a country's food supply? I mean, I can think of a few reasons. If you were sinister, why you would want control over another country's food supply. I mean, didn't we just slap Russia with tariffs and all these things? And like, as far as where food comes and goes, I, I think, was it not Poland? But what was one of the countries that really was like, oh shit, we can't do that because then we're hungry. Because they- Probably. There's a lot of you. Belgium or Poland might be one of them. I mean, or any country in Africa, Russia produces 12% of the world's wheat. Yeah. Right. Which is a pretty decent chunk. At 30% comes from Ukraine, doesn't it? I think combined between Russia and Ukraine, it's 25% to 28% depending on the year. Which is still a lot. But it's not, that's the thing though, because of the war and none of that wheat's getting out anymore. Yeah. Okay. So take the gas, for instance, right? Your Europe, Russia controls the gas, other than making money off of you. Could you see any other reason that it might benefit you to have control over Europe's gas if they wanted to like, body check you? Yeah. Yeah. So, is there a reason that other companies would like to have other countries might want to have a majority ownership of our food supply? I mean, I'm just a farm girl from Missouri, but I'm thinking more, there might be more than one reason, right? For sure. But why does the US government then allow it to happen? So when this company who shall not be named, look it up Dan, we actually voted, I think the US had to pass it to be able to allow them to buy that company, when it was bought by the Chinese. I mean, yeah, I don't think depending on who owns it, so if it's a publicly traded company, the SEC can decide who doesn't buy it, make purchases, shit like that. But even for like, think about attempted mergers of companies like T-Mobile and was it Verizon? Not Verizon. Who was it? Yeah. Sprint. Sprint, yes. Sprint. It went through, but like they blocked it for what, five years, I think? It was an antitrust suit. And they just did it in the publishing industry too, to Simon & Schuster and Penguin, and they wouldn't allow it to go through because it would create a monopoly. What I don't get is if 60% of pork, and what were you saying, how many percent of chicken? 80% of chicken, like, we're talking about companies like Tyson. What's the other one? Fuck. Foster? Foster, yeah. It's like a bulk of their chicken comes from other countries, Mexico, Brazil, so on and so forth, right? But I just, again, I'll go back to the question, why does our US government allow it to happen? Well, why do we outsource energy production? I don't know. Why didn't our mamas love us? I mean, mind it, but you know what I'm saying? Like, you're asking this question of like, is it really? My mom didn't. She's watching it. I love you. But you know what I mean? Yeah. Like, why did this happen? It's like, I don't know, you're asking a question of like, I don't know how it's allowed to happen. It just does. I can't figure it out. My frustration, especially in the last few weeks for, you know, we're on daily and everybody's listening to this show, I don't understand why it's, it's not America first. And if those set of values don't align with Americans, American businesses and American workers, tell these people to fuck off. Who is selling these farms then to China? So it gets. And by the way, it's not just the US. So a bulk, not, not a, yeah, I mean, not, not a majority yet. But a lot of French and Italian grape fields now are vineyards are, are getting sold to Chinese. Correct. Yes. Because the families can't afford the taxes or whatever the fuck, they're not profitable anymore. Yeah. And so is that what it is? No. So it's not necessarily that the China owns US farmland, I believe actually the largest foreign entity might be Canada to look it up. Yeah. I think that's right. But what it is, it works like this. It's like a sweatshop, but for farmers. So here you are, your multi-generational family farm. On average, the, the on farm income the United States is a loss of $1,100. So you're losing money. This is your family farm, right? Your identity, your culture, all these things. And along comes a company that says, Hey, look, you're going to make money. It's all going to be great. But in a hog confinement building of $2 million, spend $2 million will help you get the loan. By a hog confinement building, put it in, we'll send you the hogs, we'll send you the feed, we'll send you all this, same with chicken, right? A lot of people in Arkansas and Mississippi have been hit real bad by some of these chicken confinement buildings. And they study this blue sky and they're like, this is what you do. And then all of a sudden instead of being a farmer, you're a sweatshop worker. Because they don't, you're not farming, you're going to check to make sure that the mister comes on because you got a, the ammonia smells too strong or. And then if you say something, they'll send you sick chicks and then you got sick chicks and whole shit, I'm sorry, your birds died. You're not getting any money now. Like, and so it's then they're kind of trapped in like modern day slavery. It's why the agricultural industry is one of the few that's exempt from a lot of labor laws and who cares, basically. There's only 1.3% of Americans that are farmers. I mean, we're like an endangered species. It's a national pastime to say, oh, you poor farmer. So the issues don't really get raised. There's no way to like fight back on that. And now you're in that cycle and it's like a toxic relationship, right? You're in an abusive financial relationship with a corporate conglomerate in which you are powerless. You will lose your family farm over it. So that's kind of how that works. So they don't necessarily own it. Now they do have certain confinement buildings that they do own, right? Outright. But most of the time they're even pushing the liability and the investment onto the American family farm. So like double fucked. I think it's like not even a reach around. This is not good. Like not good at all. And so by comparison, like with Moink, we pay 4,000% let that sink in. 4,000% more than say one of those evil chicken companies in Arkansas, right? And then it's not just the farmers that are directly impacted, then you have people at processing facilities because they've been what's called vertically integrated, meaning the company now owns the chickens, they just sent them to the farm to be in this house that the farmer is taking care of them. They own the kill facility, so where it gets killed. And then they own the retail, right? And everything in between. So it's called vertically integrated. It sounds really good on paper. It sounds like such a great business idea, oh, just buy your supply chain and do this. Well, you have some scary things that come with that. So for instance for me who, you know, clearly I sell chicken, there's only 17 chicken processors in the United States, only two that would meet my specs. So as I've grown, I've had to grow with them. So I can like raise, get animals, raise a certain way, hogs is a big one. That's probably the timing of that letter is because I was able to successfully circumvent some of their processing facilities because even if you can raise animals properly outside on pasture, you have to make them dead. Yeah. And there's a lot of weird laws about that, even with wild game, like if I kill in certain states, if I kill an animal and get it processed and you want to buy somewhere from me, that's illegal. Yep. That's fucking stupid. Yeah. Like what? And crossing state lines, like I once did a far made concert, like did the food for far made in Kansas City? The on farm laws allow you to do so many on a farm, blah, blah, blah, my friend raised chickens. But it's not that many. And Kansas City, Missouri. Yeah. I crossed to Kansas City, Kansas and about got my ass hemmed up in some trouble. Well, they do that with alcohol. They also did it with Matt Gates. Whenever you're going state to state's politician, inside joke for the audience there or outside joke for everyone. But once you're doing transporting state to state like that, it's a no no for most products and, you know, for me personally, I just think it's about taxes. I don't think they would necessarily care if they knew where it was coming from and you were paying the proper amount of taxes. But to them, it's just money. And this will go back to what you said about following the money. Each of them wants taxes and fees along the way just to say you were there, even though they're not doing anything. Yeah. It's a protection racket is what we call that. Yes. Right. It's what it's the mob. They is is essentially the government. I mean, it's a bureaucrats, by the way, it's not just federal. It's also local and states because if God forbid, the states don't get their money either. We're going through that with a fucking highway that's being built here by tech stocks, Chinese own company that's building the highway here to expand Texas, the city of Austin in particular needs this highway expanded because of all the people that have moved here. However, they have to go to federal data. So it's federal dollars. So they still have to ask Biden and them for the money to approve this state highway plan that they're going to pay for, but then they're hired a outsourced to a Chinese company to then build this highway. So you're not even helping out workers in Texas at this point, but as long as each government is getting their cut of whatever the fuck it is, they don't really give a shit. And that's why government shouldn't exist. But you're also down to status as well here. So I don't give a shit. Why would the state government exist? What service does exactly does the state of Texas provide you? So me personally, Rhodes, schools obviously, but they don't build the roads. Well, schools are county based. That's not the state. The state funnels money into it, but the county is in control of those schools, but it doesn't matter. It's whoever has the purse strings. So the state has that's feds have the highways, but that's not that's not how it goes though, because driftwood, I'm sorry, dripping springs has quite a bit of revenue, right? They generate a lot of revenue because a lot of people that, you know, work for a living live there. So they are able to fund their schools, and then the state comes in and steals money from the residents of dripping springs suspended on some assholes, right? Yeah. So that's not they're not the state is not providing you with shit. All they're doing is taking your stuff away and giving it to somebody else. We all know that, but that's the system that we live under, and that's what's happening to everybody. Now, even going back to the library, I think my taxes go to that. Do you really? Yes, I do. You're the one who's checking that box in November is like, do you want to give three million of the local library? No, no, but I'm like, you're paid taxes. Give me the book, man. I'm reading the book. I'm reading the book. You took my money. Give me the book. And sometimes you get a librarian. She's like growly about stuff and you're like, hey, don't be growly, man. This is how I do it. Paying my taxes. Yeah. Same thing with cops guns, by the way. My tax dollars paid for that gun. It belongs to me. That's how I feel about a library book. It looks like Hayes County is a hundred and thirty-ish million in the hole from last year. And who's paying that? I just had a curiosity. You know what I'm saying? I've never understood that either. Yeah. I'm not good with this, but total revenue was two, nineteen million in change and total. Are you just able to just like write hot checks? We call that forty dollar pizza. Hot checks. I've heard that's turning over. That's the only time. They charge them an overdrafting? Well, that's why we have forty percent inflation right now because all the hot checks we've been writing. Yeah. Yeah, pretty much. I feel like we should get a low on that. But even going back to, so let's say your letter and then everything else that I've talked about, right? Yeah. What they're hoping to accomplish with this is... Then I will shut up. Yes. And that you're not going to spend the money to do it. Did they look into you at all before? They thought a semi-threatening kind of, I mean, honestly, that's kind of a weak letter for the term. Yeah, it's weak. It's absolutely weak. Did they not like watching any of your interviews? I guess not. And know that that was not... It was going to have the exact opposite of that. Yeah, that I would be like, oh gosh, I really, you know, I had other shit to do, but okay, I accept the invitation. Well, let's say, said company decided to file this suit against you for five million. That's not what they'll do. What do you think they'll do? They will intimidate my farmers. Okay. So they will go to them. Okay. Who have been... And so again, if you look at like family farms, depending on the ones, right? But if they have a history, maybe with working with other large companies that ended up screwing them over or selling out or something like that, that's going to have an impact to them. To me, I'm going to be like, bring it. Like whatever. Like I don't really want to fight with you right now. If you're watching, like I accept the invitation, can we wait till September, I'm dealing with a beef issue, but okay, I mean, if we got to do it right now, come on, let's go. But somebody that maybe has history of people screwing them over financially, fucking with their family farms, of course, they're going to be like bothered by that. Secondly, one has to wonder, it is an election year that had something to do with that. Let's pay attention very closely to Iowa and what moves said port companies or meet companies making Iowa to see if that had something to do with it. Clearly, they would rather people didn't know or talk about China's involvement and U.S. meet. Why I have no idea, maybe they want to come see me in my town, they want to sit down, maybe they want to have a drink. I have no idea. Your idea is as good as mine because just mathematically speaking, I am a non-event. I shouldn't be on their radar. The only thing that would put me on their radar is that I'm standing up and saying, hey, look, here's the reality, here's where you can go get the information, here's where you can look at it, here's like, pay attention. And if they're like, how do you tell the difference and why won't she shut up, okay, let's just go bacon to bacon, steak to steak. Because a mother fucking steak doesn't lie and neither does bacon. So then taste the difference and you'll be able to tell, like, I'm sure my mink burger next to the impossible burger, you'd just be like, thank you. Your meat is the very best I've ever had. It is not close. The only thing comparable is to actual farmers that Dan and I are friends with in real life who are literally on their way back from a farm with a chest. Yeah. They bring it fresh to our house and that is correct. Yes, it's very close. By the way, also from Missouri, I get all my, there's only one kind of meat I get from elsewhere and it's Australian wago and it just says it here, so I have to buy it somewhere else. Yeah, it's not even close. You can't. We're fortunate to be in Texas, to be honest, because almost all the beef that you find in Texas stores to include our major grocery store, AGB, is sourced locally. Pretty much all of it, actually, which is great because Texas doesn't fuck around with beef. But if you live anywhere but Texas, maybe in Wisconsin, you can get lucky with that. Maybe in Missouri, you can get lucky with that if you're in southern Missouri, right? But most of the country, they're eating shitty fucking meat.

Josh was in the picture in the back, and he was actually behind everybody else, and still we had users commenting that we couldn't see anything because of how huge Josh's cock was.

And unless these conversations are had in public or on podcasts or anything else, Joe Rogan, in my opinion, led this charge, you know, we've picked up on it. Dan's always been on this boat and, and I think I said this last time you were here, but I was one of those people who was like, what's the fucking difference? And then you have it and then you feel better and then your system feels better and everything else. And you're like, holy shit. And then when you go back, all of it, but then when you go back and have something shitty, you really noticed the difference. You become almost a meat snob in a way where you're like, all right, well, where is this from because if it's not point box, then I'm not fucking eating it. Like that's, that's kind of where I'm at in life right now. And the price isn't that much different. No, it's because you don't have to, you don't have to screw a farmer or a consumer in order to make money. And you just have to be able to run a business in an efficient way, which I do, you know, it's one of the benefits having grown up poor. I know all too well that a $20 pizza with an overdraft charge cost $40. So don't do that. Right. In fact, let me brag for a second because I am proud of this. Moink is a zero debt company, meaning I don't know anybody, anything. That's next to impossible exactly. And we have built a $25 million business of $500,000. We own everything in there. So I will my soul to nobody. I make my own decisions, right? That's a hard thing for people if they don't have that power. You put them in a spot and people have to do what they got to do to survive, right? Goes back to like, what will they do next? Why would that affect a farmer? Well, a farmer's in a spot, right? Is that where the intimidation is coming in from these companies behind the scenes that you were talking about earlier? Yeah. A lot of times they'll even go buy somebody. So like they'll come to me and that has happened where one of those large companies come and try to buy my company, right? And it's like, they'll make you an offer where you just like, oh, shoot, I better think about that. Don't think about it. Say no. Is it that big? Oh, it's that big. Oh, it's enough that you go. And they've taken everything real estate farmers, quote, quote, all of it. Yeah, they just come in and take your supply chain. So there used to be some independent people kind of doing what I was doing in different states. And then they sold out and I'm like, well, I'm heartbroken, but I mean, I get it, but I'm in it to win it because it's personal to me. You know, I'm an eight generation farmer, a girl on a family farm. My father took his own life. Farmers are more likely to commit suicide than veterans. It's a personal fight for me. So no, my soul is not for sale. I'm proving a point. I'm proving a point that you can do the right thing and be profitable and change the world, right? But on the other side, the consumer, you don't know. I always say like nobody ever said, today's the day I'm going to go to the grocery store and screw over a farmer. Nobody ever said that. And if they did, like I don't want to know them. And then they're going to buy a funky chicken. Okay. Nobody tried to do that. They accidentally did that, right? And on the other side, no farmer ever said, today I'm going to wake up and see how many chickens I can cram into a tiny box, pump them full of antibiotics. I don't know. I think it's, look it up, Dan. I think it's like the majority of antibiotics in the United States goes to animals. I want to say it's got to aid in it. So I don't know if it's 8 billion or 80% or how much of the antibiotic use in the United States goes to animals. I'm sure they're pumping them full of them. But no farmer ever said that. 70%. 70%. Okay. So no farmer ever said that. 80%. I'm seeing both 80 and 70. Yeah. You know, I'm getting off a twitchy like my numbers. I got sweat in my armpits. You mean the bottle whiskey, bro? Okay. This is, that's a study from the NIH, by the way. It's not some fucking wack. How about you open it? Oh, open it. You can do that for me. Jules, do we have the next round of sweets coming? Okay. Almost. You're going to check them. We started a bakery. Did you really? Yeah. I actually, I started a whole line called the rural table. And it's got some baked goods and then we'll have like steak fries and the other things to go. You know, we live in the middle of nowhere. The nearest grocery store is an hour away. Last time on the show, we talked about that in the desert and things like that. So I said, you know what? Here we are in the middle of nowhere. We do have people come visit us. It ends up like me, Julie, Laura, Carmen. We're cooking. We're doing these things. I think I brought pie last time. You did. It's fantastic by the way. And so I'm like, gosh, a lot of times we'll cook ahead. We'll put it in the freezer. Why don't I just start manufacturing this stuff? Yeah. Create some more jobs. Throw it in with the moist boxes. It's frozen. Yeah. And so I think she's cooking it up back there of, she's doing an air fryer. What is it? It works. So I call them a snatch and grab hot roll because you would snatch it and grab it for, like, your sibling does. Yeah. And then also then I made the cinnamon roll out of the same thing. It's my grandmother's, like, recipe. And so there's two kinds. There's the plain kind. And then there's the cinnamon and icing. Is this good? It's fantastic, actually. It's from Missouri. That's great. I just took a shot. From what? Missouri. I don't know what I'm saying. I'm Laura. What did you say? You want me to go dirty south on you? It's Missouri. It's Missouri. It's Missouri. It's Missouri. Bob, you're not from there. Bob from the suburbs of St. Louis, St. Louis. Oh, he's definitely from St. Louis. Oh, it's from St. Louis. It is his parents' own place. Maybe I'm not from St. Louis. Yeah. You know they've said. What are you doing? You fucking drunk bastard. Get out of here. You need the plates for more food. Oh. I thought you were coming up here to do. She can't bring the food without plates. Yeah. Drink some of this hooch. Thank you. Take a shot on camera, Joel. Actually, it's not bad. Every time listen is here, it turns around fucking party. I think we have a picnic. Are you making cheese now, too? Yeah, I'm telling you. I'm getting this thing called the world table. I love a charcuterie board more than myself. It takes about an hour and a half, but yeah, it's pretty quick. Yeah, but you make mozzarella. It was called 30-minute mozzarella, but I think you might be onto something. Yeah. It takes a lot longer. Well, it depends on the setup, I suppose, or how you choose to do it, but... What do you do with it? Wren it. Wren it citric acid. It's like milk, bra milk, but yeah. Yeah, of course. You get in a pinch, you can use lemon juice for the citric acid. Yeah, but it has a flavor, which is, if you like lemon cheese, I guess, go for it. But it's not that bad, actually, you can't really tell. It's not terrible, like, if you can't find citric acid or something. Yeah. Again, an hour from the grocery store. Mm-hmm. You know, you gotta do what you gotta do. You sure do. I had mozzarella yesterday. It's TGI Fridays in Atlanta airport, so mozzarella sticks. They made those some scratch. You sure did. The guy in the back was from Italy. Yeah, he's smoking a cigarette, and the ash is falling in as he's needing the cheese in. Yeah, and he came out. Very delightful. It's very delightful. You're working the most... Oh, no, no. So, it's different than bread when you're needing... Oh, cups. Yeah, we'll class it up. People like us to class. I'm not in the class. No, we'll drink out of the bottle. We'll drink out of the bottle. When you're needing bread, you're fucking strengthening the dough, right? But when you're needing cheese, you're getting the moisture out. It's different. Same process, but it's different. Different result. You need that Italian stink on it for it to be good. I think that's my thoughts on that. It's funny, because when you make bread, right, me being short and... That's what people call you. I get up on a short stuff. No, they call you a little short bread. No, it's hard. A little short bread. Look at little short bread. You don't want to know what they call me. What are you doing? Look at little short bread. You get up on this. This is what you do when you need bread, right? Yeah. But see how short I am. Well, you're trying to do CPR. You're trying to do CPR on the bread. Cut to that too. Yeah, it's good. There you go. Show that one more time. It looked like you were doing CPR. Yeah, right. Well, that's how I wrote that bread. Just try to resuscitate that bread. You got to bring that bread back to life. And I stand on a stool, so I get more like... Standard on a stool. I mean, I got some pints, okay? Yeah, you got some pints. You need some bread. But you're a real farmer. Like, you're out doing the shit. I get some. I'm working at Moink Warehouse every Tuesday. Every part of the management does... Oh, this mic and I. I know. It's the whole podcast. I know. It's the whole podcast. I can't prove it to you. It's fine. I just feel like it comes in hot at me and I might activate my... I think it's something in your nose. I think it's something in your nose. I do. I think I have childhood issues. It's a trauma in the past where it's like, "Put this close to your face." And you're like, "No, I'm sleeping." Yeah. I'm going to get up early with the cows. Well, really? No, I was more thinking like, "Back the fuck up." Is the obstacles coming in? Social distancing. Cows aren't waking up for two hours, Lucinda. No? But keep it close to your face, kidding. What pie is this that you're bringing in right now? It's not pie. So we're going to... She's bringing some hot rolls. Oh, hot rolls. Okay, gotcha. I call them snatch and grab hot rolls. They're pull apart. And then she's bringing some cinnamon snatch and grab hot rolls. So it's the same thing but with cinnamon and icing. She might be having an air fryer malfunction. How's it going? No, no, they're right here. That was coming. It's on like Donkey Kong. Lloyd Burks in the studio. So these came straight from Frozen and then she just threw them in the air fryer. Frozen like the moon? Which one is this? Is this the... These are the butter rolls. These are the butter rolls. Oh, these are the butter rolls. They're almost done. These are delightful. Do they come to your house when... In your Moikbox? Yeah, yeah. But like Frozen? Frozen. And then you don't even need to like, you put them at 375 for 12 minutes. So you don't have to like do anything. I've got a question for you. Yeah. So on a pretty regular basis, it seems to me like there's stuff showing up in my box that I didn't order. Are you adding extra shit to my Moikboxes? Are you putting in free stuff for people? I feel like maybe I'm retarded. It could be that too. Yeah. Cause I go on every like, what did I do it on Friday and then on Tuesday at ships typically. And I select all my stuff but I feel like I get more stuff usually than I suppose to. Alright, sometimes we do. Like if we have things that we're like, oh, this is new, we put it in or like, if you're a good customer, we randomly throw it in like we, you know, but if there's... Are you saying you got new stuff? I guess I don't understand the question. Yeah, yeah. Or you got more than what you wanted. Beagles beak in there. That was delightful. Really? Yeah. Yeah. And I wore it around for two months. Sure did, afterwards. Yeah. So after he ate the remnants, he wore that beak around his neck for days. Did you get like extra bacon or something? No. No. By the way, these holes are delicious. You like those? Yeah. It was extra chicken wings and... Clearly she did them in the air for air rates. And pork chops. Chicken wings and pork chops. I got extra that I did not order. Cause I ordered St. Louis ribs and some chicken wings and then some steaks. And then bacon obviously comes free. But I got two other things that I wasn't supposed to get. And it's not the first time that's happened either. Which is awesome. Yeah. It's awesome. It's your company. Not bad. We'll take care of our people. You've been a customer for a while. You were a customer before you guys... Oh yeah. For two years. Yeah. Like, what do you call that? Like day one? Day one homie. It's what we call it. But every time. Cause we do... We watch a lot of sports over at Dan's house. And we've always got the wings over there. We've always got them on our social media and all that stuff. Because they're the best. Yeah. I posted some of the other day actually. I smoked some wings over there. Sure did. And then with these red rolls. Okay. Next time your brain is smoked. Yeah. These are better than Texas Roadhouse. Next time you come I'll smoke wings. I mean it's easy. I mean listen you could put a little butter on the top of these. Or like some smoked salt. They're real just plain easy. They're 12 minutes. It's just something like, again it's a rule table mentality. So here we are in the middle of nowhere. We have to work together on things. Last week I needed help fixing fence. It was a thing that came up. Drew who works for me came out. Helped me with the hogs. Of course you're going to feed somebody. Right? Yeah. Sure yeah. But you can just, I mean you can just put meat on a plate. That's fine. But I don't know. You just cook some hot rolls, cook some, you know, put some cheese out. Something to fill a table. So it's me infusing like our culture into Moink Box. So like here's things that we keep in our freezer that are very quick. That's like, oh it's a ball game tonight. Or this is happening. What do we need? The meat, what else do you need? Meat, vegetables and then something else to fill up the table? Yeah. Maybe it's sweet. Maybe something for after dinner. Who is sweet at the end of the night? I do, you know, if you, maybe this plays, maybe it doesn't, I don't know. But I do motivational speaking for animals. You do. Yeah. He'll get right in their faces. Or it depends right on the animal obviously. If they need it, I'll get in their face. If they need encouragement, I'll do that as well. Yeah. Really? You speak, you animal speak. I mean, I just speak English. I feel like they can understand what I'm saying. But it's more about 96% of communication is nonverbal, right? Yeah. So I feel like they're picking up what I'm putting down. Yeah. Yeah. He's got a really soothing voice. That talks to horses. The horse whisperer. Yeah, it was another, it was another guy called Mr. Hands who talked to horses for a while and then it ended. It did not end well. No. For him. The horse was fine. The horse was like a great life. It's not a great one. It's not a great one. It's not a great one. It's some for you to look up later. Didn't we just like, no, no, I don't look like anything you guys talk about. Yeah. She's not down on it. I'm here. I realize there's something I'm pop culture ignorant about. And I'm like, yeah, you're looking up. I'm looking it up because I don't know what kind of rabbit hole. I saw the picture of that pig. Yeah. And the lemon party, I think before the show started. Yeah. That was accidentally on our computer. I guess you could call that pop culture. Yeah. I think you can. Lemon party, Mr. Hands. I can be surprisingly slow for a smart one and or smart for slowing. However, you want to look at it, but I was not aware of whatever. Yeah, I would take it home with you. I would. There's a gentleman caller who is with you here today. Have him look it up on the way back to you. I wouldn't recommend it. No. I'm going to get on a list. I'm probably already on a list. You're on a list. You're on a list. You're on an average list. Oh, an average list. Come on. I'm going to get another nasty gram. And this time I was going to be like, we looked up your search history. And we were like, I promise you. Mr. Hands. The boys don't want me to do it. If Rob is not in prison from his search history on work computers by now, then I think you're safe. You're fine, but I would also show the Mr. Hands videos to all your farmers and say, here's what not to do. Yeah. Let's do that. I think that's a good starter class. We'll come to your farm and make a training video, but it'll be super fucked up. I'm listening. Go on with it. Here's what you can and can't do with the animals. Yeah, you're going to personally show them, damn what they can and cannot do. Yes. And then you start with the Mr. Hands video and say you cannot do this with a horse. Oh, you're going to show the video of somebody else doing this. I'm starting to feel like this might be a sexual innuendo that was highly inappropriate with a horse. Just a thought. I'm happy with this moment. Yeah, it is. Okay. Yeah, it is. But we don't have to stop there. Like you could show the proper way to butcher an animal and I can be like, well, here's a way you shouldn't do it. And I take the pig out to an Italian restaurant. I go to the bathroom and come back out like Michael Corleone with a handgun and blow his fucking brains out onto the table. Can't do that either. Like, and then it's like, no, there was somebody that wanted to write a bowl last year at the rodeo. They didn't have any experience writing a bowl and finally we had to tell them, no, because we are concerned, you will pull your nine and shoot them in the head. And that doesn't actually count for eight seconds. It's like, it's the opportunity for the animal to compete against human. Sure. Like you can't, you can't cheat with a nine. No, you can't best bull writing movies at eight seconds with Luke Perry. Yes, you know, come on. I mean, I'm going to say, I mean, what I'm going to go with and name one. And how come Luke Perry is the one guy who did a bull writing movie? He's a he's an animal. He had never seen a cow before that movie and in person, not one fucking prayer. Oh, one entire background was far from a special man. Where's he from? Like, this is a nephew. He's dead after that whole rodeo circuit. I have lame, tough, like all the names. He was born in Ohio, where in Ohio, man's field. Oh, yeah. Mansfield, Ohio. You don't know where the football team. Yeah. We got a really good football team, actually. That's true. Yeah. Yeah. It's super bizarre. Oh, millennial farmers in the chat. Is he really? Yeah. He says the best bull writing movie is Brokeback Mountain. Oh, nailed it. Nailed it. There's no way one, one hand of a bit is actually going to get the job done either. Yeah. We're going to get there. We can just let them know. We've never seen that either. I'm imagining. We can adjust that in the training video as well. That'll be in the video. Remember I'm the girl that goes to the library because I pay taxes and I get the books? Yeah. But you can also check out videos. There's some microfiche. We can put those images on microfiche and show them to you over and over and over again. Why ain't it like that? That's how you pronounce it. I don't think so. Sorry. I'm from there. Yeah. From where? I'm from... Fish? Yeah, the various parts. We're getting sweets. Jewels is a sweets. You got a sweet tooth, Jewels. I'm panic eating sugar. You're real. I've got a sweet tooth. She said almost. She gave me this. I am. Who is that? Is that a... Is that her boyfriend or is that how long the sweets are? I don't know, Jewels. I can't. Very far back. Okay. Three more minutes. Three more minutes. Now it's like we're... It's also what she says to her boy. Now it's a movie snatch, right? Wow. She's going to come on this stage. Is she? She's going to go prison Julie on you. Does she go prison Julie? I don't know. But let's not test it. What's prison Julie? I don't know. You know what? Yeah, there is. Then. Yeah, there is. We could have an old school gunfight if you guys want. We could. In the back. Nothing above the waist. Yeah. You got to shoot below the waist. That's the rule. I'll bring you my bow. Are you a bow? What kind of bow you got? I have a recurve. You got a recurve? Okay. I'm Matthew's guy myself. Okay. All right. I like black widow bows. I'm a Cherokee guy. Just an old school Cherokee Indian guy found in the backyard. Just a stick in a piece of yarn I fire away. I don't need your fancy bullshit with your fucking machines in the. It's not a machine, a recurve. It's just a lot. It's just a lot of that. It's a big ass piece of fucking. Snaps. Yeah. It's a big piece of wood and a string and a tree branch. And it's instinctive. Now back. I'm going to break you out of a tree branch. I'm going to put some red yarn on it. We're going to get fucking loose. Okay. All right. Let's go. See what's what. You're spirited in. We're going to play William Tell. Sure. Yeah. So we're going to put some sausage on your head. Look at all that shit. I'm a flamethrower here. No one starts. Yeah. No, we've got all. We've got no eye. In the studio, flamethrowers here, shooting stars are here. Although I think Joel used them one time. And you're worried about his search history? Who? Bob's? Yeah. It's the least of our concerns. Yeah. I'm not like we'll have to hire a new producer when he goes to jail forever. Yeah. But that's about it. I mean, whatever. He's not the tech guy. Like we couldn't lose Delco. Bob could die right now. Don't be searching for anything. Delco would fuck up tomorrow's live feed. Yeah. Bob, we got time. Yeah. You know, replace him. What are you going to say? What are you going to say? I was going to tell the prosecutor that I was just following orders. Oh, yeah. I would bail you out. That's worked historically pretty well. I would bail you out. I wouldn't let you be hemmed up that long. Throw me that bottle of whiskey again here. Okay. So with the suites, are you employing more people for that as well? And with the roles and everything else, are you hiring more people? Yes and no. I found some other small entrepreneurs that were... And you're helping them out? And I said, "Hey, how about I put the mite of Moink behind you?" Here's... Like I just like this guy's name's Grant. And I don't know. I'm going to snitch on your grant. I don't know if he'll watch this. Where's Grant? He got fired from Congress because... Grant did? Oh, yeah. What was he doing in Congress? So he was an intern years ago. And he was really poor because they don't pay their interns, right? I don't. So he didn't know this. You're not allowed to sell an inauguration ticket. Oh, shit. But he did because he was like, "Tude, I was like living in a closet. They weren't paying me anything." He was like, "I was really sad because I thought I was going to do cool things." And all I was doing was gaslighting constituents by sending letters that said, "We care when we didn't care." And he's like, "So, yeah, somebody offered me $800 for the ticket." Why would you not be able to sell that? No! But he got fired? I mean, I guess they do security checks on people. So maybe that's why. I don't know. Each NFL player gets two tickets to the Super Bowl and 90% of NFL players sell their Super Bowl tickets. And then with regard to Congress, there was an intern or an aide recently who butt-fucked another dude. On the floor. On the floor of the Senate. Yeah. And... He still has his job? I don't know. No, not prosecutor. I was going to make him personally. Yeah, he was definitely fired. So anyway, I like this grant because when he tells me this, I'm like, "So what happened?" You know, I always... So he makes bread now. He makes bread now. It's good fucking bread. He makes bread. So I was like, "Hey, can you help me like this?" I mean, you're not a government fucking parasite anymore, Grant. You feel very good about that. Yeah. And the bread is great. Better than Texas Roadhouse. Yeah. When those rolls come out at Texas Roadhouse... Oh, I'm tired of hearing about Texas Roadhouse. What is it? It's disgusting. Alright, so these are the cinnamon buns here? Yeah, so it's the same recipe but with sugar and cinnamon and icing. Oh, these are nice. And these are right out of the... these are hot too. They're out of the air fryer, so look, I don't know how they're going to taste, but... They're going to taste great. Julie's doing a great job. I did that on purpose because I wanted you to see like even if you're not like a big cooker person, like you can put them in an air fryer and be fine. Is that why you call her prison, Julie's because she's used to making shit in a cell? No. Yeah, she makes toilet wine like nobody's fucking business here. I just wouldn't mess with her. Do you want her to come up here and hurt you? She will. She's in the house, small she is. No, she's back there in the... Oh, she's smiling. She's in the men's urinal making wine right out of a sock. Do not call. She's in the carpet. Oh, white soccer sock back there. Well, you know, you got a firm man at Jules and you make him... You know why they make wine? That was different, Missouri. Missouri women are not the ones you want to play fuck, fuck games with. It's toilet or toilet, but not toilet. How do you come by this information? Just time, you know. I know things. I took African-American history in college, so that's how I know it. These are fantastic. Give them up, man. I got a shimmy. Total wine. Told it wine, Jules. All right, Jules. Just shut the cameras off, Jules. They have Nerf guns behind us. It's sound like Donkey Kong. Yeah. No, we do actually have a bunch of Nerf guns. Jules, is that toilet wine? It lights out, Jules. And when the lights out, as when you dip the fuck inside the toilet, the firm is a wine. Big fan. Big fan, Jules. Big fan. And I'm not going to shit on you like she did. Like, she's shitting on your cooking skills, dude. For the back of a fucking podcast studio, to make these delightful. I'm not shitting on her skills. I'm just saying. It's fine. She's definitely been to prison, too. She's definitely been to prison. I can feel like a one to your stint. You think so? Nothing more than that. Nothing serious. She does. Is that a teardrop tattoo on her right under her eye? Is that what that is? Yeah, that's weird. Oh, my God. You can't see it because she's off-screen, but she's got a lot of tattoos, mostly teardrops on her face. When she walked in, she said, "Do you want to blast this fool or what?" Hogs, even though she's white, and we all thought that was super weird, just. Yeah. It wasn't what I expected. I would say weird. It just wasn't what I expected. No. No, I don't want to be judging. First sweet girl from southern Missouri. Oh, Mavura. Yeah, who's drinking toilet wine. She sucks it right out of that sock. Yeah. It's toilet to mouth. And that's another thing you could do on Moinkbox. Toilet to mouth wine. And then you just ship it to him right in the dirty sock. This, like, really went off the rails like that. Toilet wine does. I would buy that. I would, too. Can we come back to center? Do we need to do something breathing right now? You get one year free bacon at Moinkbox.com/streetbroke. And then a jug. A jug of toilet wine. A unspecified amount in noise. Sock included. Sock included. Access to Bob's search history. Oh, no. We can't do that. We can't do that. We can't do that. We'll shut this place. There's got to be some law. It's a quote to the stone. Don't you try this? I'll be your uncle Barry. Sam Elliott finally gets involved here. There's got to be some law. There's got to be. But law don't go around here. Yeah, sit down. Sit down. Sit down. I'm going to drink this whiskey right out of mine. Whatever the soft red wheat is. It's good, right? Toilet to table wine. Toilet to table wine. Toilet to table wine. Exactly. But how big do you want this enterprise to go in the end for Moinkbox? Like how far do you see this going? If you're doing sweets, you're doing bread, how big can this operation possibly get? Oh, I don't guess I understand the question. But basically what I'm trying to do. How big do you want it to get? Well, I believe that... Is it money or is it jobs for you? No, it's... I think that you have to be large enough that you can compete and/or command the attention and not from some frivolous bullshit letter they sent because they want you to be quiet. But you have to be able to grow something that's large enough that you can play in a big boys arena so that people pay attention so that you can prove. Yeah, you're right. We got here and no farmers, no employees know this, we're screwed over in the process. And then you can prove it. But you do have to have a certain kind of size in order to do that, right? Because anybody can sit there and say, "Oh, well, I held onto my morals and this..." And listen, I'm right there with you, I am in your corner, right? You want to tie yourself to a tree, I'm right there. I'm rooting for you, right? But I'm going to go fight the people that have the chains, the chainsaws that are cutting down the forest and not by chaining myself, by stepping in the arena and saying, "Hey, let's play ball." So to do that, I think you've got to be somewhere in the, you know, over the $100 million mark. I agree to start throwing weight around like big boy money. But you can't grow so quickly that you want, it's a fragile food system, right? Like we're teaching farmers to raise chickens. I had to go and improve the processing facility. I had to build out where hogs are processed that's not one of the big forests. You also have to grow infrastructure over time, otherwise, like this happens to businesses all the time where like, "Oh, we had a great quarter, so we're going to spend a bunch of money on infrastructure and buy a bunch of cans, for example." And then like, "Oh, fuck, we're fucked." Like we spent all of our, we have no capital now. Yeah, I call that getting above your raisin. So I try never to get above my raisin. We call it liquidity crisis. Liquidity. Well, I don't know those terms. Yeah, same thing. But you know, like, whatever you do, be strong in studies, so for me personally, my company has always seen consistent year over year growth. If you watch me on Shark Tank, you know that Kevin O'Leary got in my face about margins. He was pissed. He thinks I need to have a big margin. My margins haven't changed. I still have had a nice bottom line. You can run a business and run it well, be intentional about how you do things and still get where you're going. But we sometimes live in a society where people want everything right now. Yes. And you can have anything you want. You just can't have everything you want at the same time yesterday, right? Yeah. And so... It takes time to make toilet wine. That's how to say it goes, brother. Yeah, that's how it goes. Thank you. It's time to make toilet wine. Sure does. When Jules is making it for Cell Block 4, she's saying... It's gonna be 8 to 12 days. Oh, she's on CB4? She's on CB4? It's gonna be 8 to 12 days before I can get you a wine. I can't get it over 9. You're not gonna get drunk off of it. It's weird how a white woman from Southern Missouri sounds like that. But that's how Jules sounds. She said a total of zero words. No, every time she's come up, she says something. She gave you the look. Yeah. Last time she came up to give me the fucking cinnamon roll, she goes... And then just walked away, I was like, "All right, Jules, fuck." How do you know she's not gonna put a Creole curse on you? I'll probably be dead after that, baby. Wait, did they do that? I don't know. My people's from... We call it the Dirty South. Like part of my family's from Louisiana. Yeah. And I call it Dirty South. It is dirty down there. Well, it's our attitude. Are you voodoo? Do the Creole people do voodoo? No, but they wear jelly shoes outside in the summer and it's just all over your feet. It's so gross, dude. I can see and smell your feet right now from 1983. Really? Really? Just running around without a K on the wall. Right here. K on the wall. Dirty little dirty jelly shoes. Walmart feet. Yeah. Walmart feet. Are you insane? Of course not. You get fire ants. You were running out in the yard all day, just being a gal. And Missouri. Yeah, and Missouri. But not in Louisiana. You get fire ants. You're on food stamps going into Walmart. You say Missouri, but not, you don't say Louisiana like a normal person. Because I was born and raised in Missouri, but my people are in Louisiana. David, why don't you say it on the right hand? Yeah. Why don't you say Louisiana? Because they are imports. They're not. They're in third generation. My aunt, Debbie, she'd be coming from Texas. There you go. That's why. They're all imports. They are imported products. We don't say that here on this show. Why? I can't say that my aunt, Debbie, came from Texas and then went to Louisiana. Yeah. You can say that again. I can't believe I'm going to say that. I can't believe I'm going to say that. Import because I come from Kentucky. My original family comes from Kentucky. I know you were saying overseas or carpet baggers. You know? Oh. Yeah. I didn't know. Now, what would you call? That's a difference. What would you call a blonde white woman from southern Missouri that talks like that? Julie. Go. I mean, you got no. That's too specific. That accent? Yeah, that's that. Give us an example of the accent again. Yeah. Get his rust. Oh, if I'm from Missouri and I'm having toilet wine, Georgina, Georgina, the toilet wine's not ready. Grab Jules. She's in the back. And Jules is the assistant. She's not the main. Oh, she's not the head of the operation of the business. Wow. So she's the Sue. It's Georgina wine. So now you're going to have a Georgina and then a Jules in the back who's just going to kind of run around with a soft helmet on you. Can you imagine if you use all that creativity for the good one day? Me? We do. We do. Could you imagine? God's work now. We're telling people to buy meat from farmers. Georgina. Georgina. Georgina. Georgina. Georgina. Georgina. She's in charge. She makes a peach cobbler that'll tell your face off. But first of all, I'm slightly uncomfortable with the penis right in my face right over there. It's in your face. That's like four feet away. Because it's a ghost. Like what? No, it's a 3D. It's a 3D. Yeah. It's a Kakasaurus Rex. That's a dinosaur that's extinct now because of fucking people like you. Really? Yeah. I have no idea. But why is it see-through? That's how it used to be back in the day. Yeah, that's what dicks used to look like. Yeah. Wow. And then big pharma came along. Yeah. But it was in Georgina. Is that like you just made that up on the spotter? Is that like a real person? It's not a real person. Okay. I've never met a Georgina in my life. I'd like to. I'd like to. I'm not a Jewellz, but not a Georgina. You did play a character called Cleveland. I did. Cleveland. Cleveland, baby. It's beautiful. Yeah. Georgia. Yeah. We're actually going to be doing some, fuck it. I'll leak it now. Yeah. We're going to be doing some fun campaign videos over the next couple of months. Yeah. And he will be performing as Cleveland Beaufort in it. Really? Yeah. Because we're trying to get out the vote to get people to vote repubes this fall. Okay. So we're going to do a series of online sketches. Are you doing like a roadshow? Are you going to different places? No. Well, actually we might. Yeah. Because we want Brandon to win. So our buddy is actually running down in San Antonio, right? Yeah. And if he was running Brandon Herrera in a run off election. If he wins the run off for the Republican primary, he'll win the election because there's no Democrats in that district. Correct. There are, but the primary is the race, right? But he's still got to do stuff up leading up to it, and it's just going to be madness. Madness. Yeah. But he's going against one of those pieces of shit. The guy's name is Tony Gonzalez. He voted for funding for Ukraine. He voted for the Trump impeachment. Yeah. He voted against securing the border. Everything non-Republican he voted for. And he's a rhino. He's a technically a Republican. So I want this fucking guy out of here. So yeah. If we could do a traveling show the day before to get people to go out and vote. What's a guy saying? What's your buddy's name? Brandon Herrera. He's better known as the AK guy on the Internet. On YouTube. He's a gun influencer. You might say. He like reviews guns, builds, weird stuff. All sorts of stuff. Oh, cool. What's he built? Well, he built an AK-50, which is an AK-47 chamber to 50 caliber. Nobody's ever done it before. I don't know what that means, but it sounds cool. Oh, it's an AK-47, but it shoots 50 caliber BMG rounds. And so it goes... Oh, yeah. But it's bigger bullets. Sure is. Yes. The biggest non-artillery bullets that exist. Yeah. It's somebody that jewels with date. You know what I'm saying? Really? Well, he is Mexican. Is he? I feel like you guys just went socially. You were saying when I said imported because my aunt moved from Texas. Oh, we don't. To Louisiana. We didn't mean to make you think that we gave a shit. No, we did. Don't go. We were applauding you actually. I'm not here to... Come on now. I feel like if you're going down a rabbit hole where I'm like, I can't keep up. No, it's fine. The mayor of New York just said that all the migrants there should become lifeguards because they're all great at swimming. I'm ready, really? Yeah, sure did. Said that one. Yeah. Said that the other day. Bob, if you want to pull it up, Eric Adams said it. Yeah. He said they're going to hire migrants to become lifeguards in New York because they're great at swimming. They're great at swimming over the border. Can this be real? This is a real statement. I mean, this is two weeks after the Governor, Kathy Hogle was like, "There are black kids in Brooklyn that don't even know the word computer." Yeah. Do you see the headphones over there? Yeah, right here. Yeah. Grab those and pop them on real quick and you can listen to it. Okay. So the other guy, the politician that said, I think it was Bloomberg, he said that anybody with gray matter can be a farmer. He was from New York, right? Yeah, he was. Yep, sure was. Man, they throw some shade, huh? Yeah. Yeah. I'd love to see Bloomberg get out there. Yeah. Farm for a little bit. I know I fucking couldn't. God didn't play this clip from Eric Adams. Okay. You'll love this. Yeah. This cannot be real. This cannot be real. This cannot be real. And both black women on both sides are nodding their heads. And he's talking serious. Like you was about to say something serious. I know. Let me. I can't. Are you sure that's real? Oh, it's really. 100%. I don't want to be indelicate, but what would he know about swimming? Yeah. And I think that's why they were both nodding their head of like, yeah, we can't swim and they can. So that's kind of the way it is. But yeah, that's what we're headed. Okay. That's where... If we don't have people like you who are doing shit like this, like the whole country is kind of fucked here. I'd like to see you get to 100 million. And you guys putting the, you know, helping amplify. Well, we use our powers to make fun of retards. Okay. And then to promote things that are actually good. I like that. Yeah. You have that like in your creed. And by the way. Yeah, my creed says take me higher. Okay. Yeah. That must be a song reference. Jules. Jules was laughing about their jewels. She's a lyric person. She used to listen to that song in jail all the time, dude. On repeat. Just on the old record player. That's how everybody knew not to fuck. Like when the creed's on. Yep. I'm not to be fucked with. You understand? Jules come down with the shiv and some toilet wine. You don't fuck with Jules. As soon as that comes on. I'll rent one album from the library, sir. They bring it to the jail cell. Let her play it. Can you take me higher? And the shiv starts getting sharp. The wine starts getting sucked out of that sock. And Jules goes on a fucking rampage. Well, let's not set her up. Fucking do it, man. Let's get this done. I'm half a bottle of whiskey deep. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. These are good, right? So good, dude. Those cinnamon buns are really fucking good. All your food is good. We wouldn't have it on if it wasn't legit. Yeah. You really do make the best shit there is. Yeah. And raise it. And raise it, too. Yeah. I wanted to ask you about Shark Tank. Do they follow up with you every year and see how you're doing? How does that work once you're off the show? I know I just asked you mid-bite and I apologize for that. I think they've been out three times now. Three times? Okay. And then they do they shoot videos with you and all that stuff? Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's from like four o'clock in the morning to 11 p.m. Holy shit. Multiple days in a row. Okay. And they like mic you up. They're touching you. They're like, they're like, oh, we want to get this shot. And this shot, you're so worn out. Yeah. And by the end of it, you're like, you know, you're all done. Yeah. You're about ready to get assy. And as your overall experience, because there's a lot of people that love John Shark Tank and everything else, would you recommend it to friends or family or no? I'm not sure that I would have like an unbiased opinion because I just did it as a joke. I didn't actually think it was real. And like my sister-in-law was boarding these emails to me that said something about like from Shark Tank. And I was like, could you please stop sending me spam? And she said, it's not spam, it's real. And then I had called him and it's entirely possible. I'm not saying this happened. It didn't happen. We're not going to. It's entirely possible that I was like, okay, I've never even seen the show, but you still had to like go through steps and all these things. So I did them to make a video. And to me, I was like, it's an opportunity to possibly amplify the voices of American family farms. But I didn't walk into the situation with expectations. I wasn't. I actually wanted to go like turn a letter on Wheel of Fortune. And it was in the same studio. And they said, if you like got away from where you're supposed to be, that like you're getting trouble. And I seriously considered like being hopping over to see what I was seeing. I could just see. And I was just like, man, all I wanted to do was just go turn the letter. That was my life. Jamie. Yeah, that makes totally a wine too. A lot of people. So I never watched Shark Tank till afterwards. Jamie, who invested with Moink, he was a guest shark. America didn't like him. I guess he didn't play well. If you meet him in real life, he's an awesome dude. Jamie. Jamie Diamond? No. Jamie Simmons off. So he founded Ring Doorbell. Oh, okay. And then he sold. So he was on season I think for. And they turned him down. They didn't give him a deal. For Ring? Yes. And then he sold to Amazon for a billion dollars. Wow. And so he came back as kind of like how you like me now, right? Like how you like me now. And so I didn't know who he was. I literally didn't watch the show till after I was on, right? And somebody said, hey, they tell you like the day before who's going to be in the room like the Sharks. And my friend that was with me, she said, oh, yeah, there's this guy Jamie Simmons off. And I was like, new money. Yeah. No thanks. I'm going to try to talk to him and then come to find out he's just like an amazing human. Him and his wife, his wife's from Indiana. They got a farm like where my farm's at. Like we have become like family. Like we always say that he's from Jersey. If his mother had a baby out of wedlock, dropped her in Missouri, gave her my accent. Yeah. It'd be me, right? Because we're the same. But anyway, so it's been great for me, but it's a long story. People have to come see my warehouse one time, but it's entirely possible that when we were first working together, we didn't like, we just have the same style and we're brawlers. So it's entirely possible he lips some shit off to me and I lip right back and he made a verbal agreement that at any time I could buy him out for exactly what he's got in my company. Indefinite. So it's entirely possible behind Carmen, who's my right hand, her desk, there's an ink pen taped to the wall. It's called the fuck you ink pen. Because every time a profit check is written, it's to remind everybody, nobody holds me hostage. And that he's actually involved in my company now, even though I can buy him out because I value or probably already have given him enough money, I know I have to cover what he has in it. But it's because I value his opinion and because he's a brawler himself, you know, he ain't a yellow belly. He's not going to like, there's been some things over the years to where business can be nasty. And we're on a big level sometimes you get people that'll like try to pit you against this or hem you up in this or start some bullshit or you might have a vendor doing this. And Jamie's very loyal, very helpful. And so for me, it turned out well, but I did not have a typical investor. I mean, he didn't even have a guy like behind the scenes are supposed to get like an investor, their investor persons come to talk to you. And literally this guy comes over and I'm like, are you Jamie's guy? And he's like, no, he's going to call you tomorrow, but he needed somebody to play the part. No shit. And I'm like, so what's in your briefcase? And he's like, oh, nothing. And I was like, all right, well, he's like, Jamie is not like a real investor, but he didn't have a guy. And he didn't want to like look down that he doesn't have a guy. Yeah. So brought a briefcase. What was in a sandwich or something? No, it was just like a turkey salt inside a body like in a suit with like a briefcase. And it was like his friend. Like, no, I mean, like I'm just playing the part. That's funny. So it wasn't real. So I don't feel like I have like an unbiased opinion, because normally like an investor in a company, I don't think you guys would like, I literally said, I'm not going to apologize for the hellfire damnation. I'm about to rain down on your mother truck and head. Like I've had those conversations and he's been just as because I mean, I don't know. He just sold another company mid last year called Honest Days Work. Yeah, I know. I told him I was going to get him for copyright on that shit because you know, I always say a farmer should make an honest days pay for an honest days work. Yeah, he did. It was like kind of a task rabbit style app, basically, and then latch bought it. And he's CEO of latch now, which is probably traded in. It was like, it was kind of in the toilet. I think he's having a lot of fun with that because he's back in the trenches because it's hard. It's very hard. And when you sit in these meetings every day and it fucking sucks. It sucks and it's hard. And if you ever didn't do it, you probably are like an addict and you'd come right back and you'd be like, now what do I do? Yeah. Because they're like, what do you say? We know people like that. You were in the military, right? Don't they always say like never out of the fight? That's what the seal say. Okay. So the same with like business. Once you're in business, once you're an entrepreneur, once you're in the trenches, like, what are you going to do? Go get a real job? I can tell you what I'm going to do. The next meeting we go to. I'm bringing a briefcase with a fucking steak inside with nothing. I'm not even kidding. I'm going to open the briefcase up and pull the plate with a steak on it out and put on table and start eating and be like, go ahead. Go ahead. Like I'm you're not interrupted my steak time. I've brought my own steak and I'm ready to do business or I'll tell him you have until the end of the steak to convince me of what you're going to try to convince me. Oh, I like this. You know, like nobody messes with crazy. Yeah. So like how crazy could you get on a scale of one to jewels? Yeah. From one to toilet wine. Yeah. Are you taking a sock and a steak in a briefcase? I'll do it. You pull out. You pull out. I'll do the toilet wine for sure. You start crocheting or something. Yeah. Suck it right out of it. I double dog. Double dog. There's video of me drinking toilet wine out there. No, no, I'm not worried about that. I'm thinking crocheting in the middle of like serious negotiations. Just put on like put on some readers. Yeah. Like a grandma to start crocheting like, all right, go ahead. Pop a word there. I have special readers that you should. You got readers? Yeah. I got these like super thin ones that you should take and see you just get in the middle of your meaning. Sure. And then pull out. You know what I do? You know what I do in the middle of negotiations? What's the matter? Nobody's going to watch this. So they won't know it. Two things I do. One, I'm always outside the building smoking cigarettes and people don't know what I look like. Try to like really look trash, right? Somebody comes up, hey, I'm here to talk this is this and I'm like, I just work here. Go inside and ask them. See how they talk to me, right? That's number one. So then when they get the warehouse tour and they circle back because, you know, I'm coming down like this, got my sunglasses on and droids brings it back and says this is loose in there. If they were rude to me when I was outside being all trashy, I fuck them up. If they have manners, I'll work with them. Then I have found instead of a laser pointer, what works better is a switch plate. Yeah. And you just start doing this shit everywhere and they get twitchy. They get nervous or just something about something about somebody doing this around you. Get yourself. Get a little Glock 43x with a fucking TLR on the end of it with a laser pointer and use your gun. But looking at a ginger with a fucking switch plate. That's true. Yeah. You are not. Sometimes when I start thinking and I'm like, well, let's get a SIG and so that I do that. Then, you know, but occasionally I do. You'll pull out the readers. Those are very thin readers. Yeah. They are and they're magnet. Are they really? Look at that. Yeah. Don't worry about it. It's from Germany. And you do this. Those are beautiful readers. Yeah, right? You like that? They're super thin. So you got them everywhere? Yeah. And if that don't work, you just do the switch plate move. Crochet. Start with crochet and readers. I'll eat a steak. I mean, I think the juxtaposition of the two things is what really matters. I mean, the steak and you're doing something weird. Sure. Not that eating a steak and a meeting isn't weird. Well, then I would have to put... I think it would like linen like to put under your steak and like a proper like knife or... I mean, I always have a proper knife of work. Okay. Are you getting like the actual proper ice for your whiskey? You know, like classy ice, like the square. Like the square? Yeah. Yeah. It depends on the type of whiskey. It's actually the drink. And you wear the suit with the crocheting. Well, where would you wear it with the steak and the linen? If you're bringing a briefcase, I want to bring a briefcase too. So you're pulling out your... What are we negotiating? Yeah. I'm gonna go to you. I'm gonna go to you. I'm gonna go to you. When you're pulling out your steak, I'll pull out a jockstrap. Okay. And then one cantaloupe. And I have one of these little plastic spoons and knives and just kind of carve it up and eat it myself. Okay. And then I'll talk in that accent. How's the rock in the corner? What's rock in the corner? What's rock in the corner? How's the jockstrap play? Yeah. I'll put it on over my suit. Do you need one of these? Yeah. I'll put it on over my suit in case I have to run really fast. Start stretching. Start stretching. Does this make sense? I have lots of things to make it look like. You never know when I'm able to run in place like this, but also keep my nuts tight to my body. So... Bring your own stand-up desk into the fucking meeting. Yeah. Excuse me, guys. I have a couple of dudes coming in to start fucking setting it up like it will be about 45 minutes, guys. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Give me another 45. I've got to fit up my electronic desk. Yeah. And then set it up. Yeah. What do you eat in there? What do you have now? I'm not eating it. It's like one of the things I also do like in a meeting when I'm... What is it? First of all, I... What is it? It's cocaine. It just chops out a big fat rail cocaine. Let's go. Ready? Okay. Carry those everywhere. Okay. All right. Here we go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. A little bit more. because you were probably teenagers and you don't fight as an adult like a retort, but when you're an adult, somebody says, "It's right." You say time and place, and you don't need to get the time in place. Everybody knows. If you're going to act, if you're going to make a poor life choice, A, do it on purpose, and two, don't be embarrassed to do it right in front of everybody. Yeah, like if somebody brought A1 steak sauce to put on your steak, that's the name of the four-way stop. Dude, I would say, yeah, I would say four-way stop now. Maybe in the four-way stop? Yeah, I would say get there. I've never heard that phrase. Get there. Oh, yeah, get there. That's the four-way stop. I know what one is. I've never heard it in that context of fighting before. Well, we learned things here, too. People may say meet me at the crossroads, right? That's a thing. Well, so you don't get lonely, but that's bone thugs and harmonies? Oh, no, this is about the devil. Okay. Is that another song referenced? It sure is. Okay. Well, that one was devil went down with Georgia. Can I get you guys a playlist so I could study it? You think I could check that out at the library? Oh, no, that's Robert Johnson. Well, thugs and harmonies? Absolutely. Yeah, they're dead, right? No, they're alive. Oh, shit. It's a Tupac that's dead. All right. It was on their album. Lucinda, now's the point in the show. We get to the drinking bro of the week, which is someone who has inspired you. It helps you become the person you are today. Can't give the same one as last time. Who do you want me to give it to? Okay. Who do you want me to give the drinking bro? China. China. Who helped me become the person I am today? Yeah. Mmm. You know what? I'm actually going to pick Jules back there. Really? She's at. Yeah, you don't know. She's in the toilet. I don't know what she's doing, though. Yeah, I mean, either, dude. You don't know her story, but she came to work for me four years ago. She came to work for me four years ago, and if you'd known what that woman had walked through, I could never do what she's gone to the other side of. And you see her in here, you see how she's smiling, helpful, all these things. If you knew what life she had lived, where she comes from, what she's done and where she's at today, yeah, I once told her she's one of the strongest women I've ever met, and I'll stand on it. Would you serve seven plus years, eight years? You know, it's possible she did a 120, but I don't know. It's just her life story to tell that back. Sure is. We'll get Jules back. Yeah, she'll be the next Jules. Jules is a badass, man. Jules is a badass. I love it, Jules. She will bring her to the meeting so she can make the toilet of wine. Yeah. Exactly. Jules, AKA Prisoner 128497 Jules. She's going to catch, she's already standing at the four-way waiting on you. Yeah. She might have to sleep in the studio because she's going to try to catch me outside. She'll catch you on the outside. Yeah. I'm not going to do it. You're not going to do it. You're not going to do it. Sleeping in the studio. Okay, all right. She's on this ghost bedroom. She's drinking bros, drinking bro of the week is what it's called. Yeah, sure is. We do it every single show. We can't go for that. That's a nice... That's true. Jared, our co-host dude, actually. And we have this trophy right here in the middle as the Brosman. That's the drinking bro of the year. Mm-hmm. Okay. Alex Cheechov wanted this show. Is it bro or bruh? One of my daughter's friends called me bruh, and I said, "What you said?" Yeah, either one. Bruh. It depends on how you're feeling that day, you know? You got a drink and chick. We had what? Drink and broettes. Yes, we did. Broettes. Oh, I like this. See, you're all inclusive. I think drinking brods would have been better, though, to be honest. Yeah, I would have been. Because broad sounds classy. Sure does. My personal opinion on all that stuff being as I am the only female CEO of a company more than, you know, maybe 5 billion. Uh-huh. And the entire meat industry. [laughter] You know, I am one of the only, I'm like a unicorn. I don't give a shit. Like, I do not care. Like, I have four brothers. Like, it just doesn't affect me the same, you know? Because to me, I always feel like it's kind of like snakes. Like, a lot of the men in the industry are probably more afraid of me than I am of them. Um, anyway, that's just my... I have no idea where that point came from. There was no point. I don't really matter. When you're drinking whiskey, toilet wine, and having thweets. Okay, I think we should call it a day on that one. No, it's good. We're having thweets together. Sometimes, with my friend, I just need a little sweet. I get, I get, I get so embarrassed and nervous I need a little thweet with my friends. Give me the whiskey. The sweets are great. Let me read your thing. I'm gonna take a shot here. Oh, my response. This show will get free bacon. For an entire year, one year, the best bacon you'll ever taste, but for a limited time, that's spelled M-O-I-N-K-Box.com/drinkingbroze. That's Muymbox.com/drinkingbroze. I like how you do that. I'm the best and the best. Yeah, you're the best. I'm gonna take a shot here in the basket to you. Okay, do it. Yeah, make it happen. Yeah, you do it. Tools, you get out of the toilet. She made you drink it, bro. The wait. She don't want to drink. She's not even wearing socks. So she knows she's already getting started. You're already getting that ferment going. There's already hanging over the side of the ball right now. I can't wait to have it. That's not what I put in here. It could be. 'Cause she's been in the back collecting apple cores from people to the ferment that one. You know, the first time I came, I brought the homemade moonshine. That's right. Yeah. Jules is back there taking the shells off of turtles. I've never seen one before, but that little fucker is still walking around. Jules, pretty impressive. Yeah. Every time you go on the show, it's a shit gets weird. Wild as shit, and it's a fucking blast. Yeah. You have an open invite here anytime, in a place. Okay. Condemas are out, would you? We'll do some cattle tipping, some four-way shit. If Bob's... He's going to do some weird animal talk. If Bob's college ever gets ranked, we'll do it. Like, I want to see a good game there. Do you go to... How far are you? How far are you? I'm an hour and a half from Columbia. That's close enough. That's not bad at all, yeah. Yeah, we'll come out to the farm. I'll ride one of those things around, and then we'll do the show on the cow. Wait. What are you riding? The cow? I'm just going to ride the cow around. I'm not doing a bull or anything, just something simple. No. That's going to stay in place for most of the time. Yeah. We can do it together, actually. Yeah. We can go, uh, rope back with it. Well, now it's a... Two cows side by side of bull. I'm trying to do it right now. Yeah. It's two cows side by side, and we're holding hands. And we just do the whole podcast like that, live on the cow. Double dog. Is that what it's called? Double dog? No, I'm double dog daring you. Oh, yeah. I'm calling you to the car, but I'm saying bit. That means nothing to us, because we've done way dumber shit than that. Yeah, we just did a show from a cemetery when RJ Simpson died. Really? Yeah, Civil War Cemetery. Okay. All right. Fun experience. Okay, interesting. I think I may be haunted now. Really? By Civil War people. Really? No shit. Yeah, I think it could be a real thing. I've been, like, I really want to get some slaves to be honest. Well, you woke up in the middle of the night saying the South's going to rise again. Holy shit. Maybe you should have done that show. I call my dick the South. Oh, okay. Is that what it is? Okay. Got it. Got it. Yeah. I feel like this escalated. It'll rise again. It'll rise again. God willing. God willing. Now I get the joke. inshAllah. I'm the worst pro. Is it inshAllah or mashaAllah? It's humdala, inshAllah. It's that too. It's Muhammad. I don't hear all of these words. I read them in books, right? I read words, but if you don't hear them because you're, like, from the middle of nowhere, you know, next thing. inshAllah. This means God willing. Yeah, it's true. inshAllah also means that sort of. Yeah. But mashaAllah, inshAllah means the same thing. Yeah, more or less. Does it really? Yeah. Okay. I didn't know the chicken mashaAllah obviously is. Peace be with you. One's Arab. One's. Persian. Persian. Persian, yeah. Yeah. Magic carpets and shit. Cairo. Yeah, all of it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I understand it. We're riding a magic carpet. Hey, who cares? Okay. We're living our own world. We're playing our own people. We're doing what we're doing. God's work out here. Okay. I mean, I pay taxes. Same here. And I'm going to get my library book. I do. Give me that book. Jules already got her record rented out for the day at the prison. So we're good. Okay. Creed's gonna hear. Creed crank up. You know, it's toilet wine time in Jules's cell. I mean, I'm gonna see the problem with it. You know what? It's like a vacation. Yeah, 100%. Like, not a serious crime, but if you could do this thing that was like, "Hey, Ben, I just need like a break." Like a Martha Stewart crime. Yeah, but you don't want to go to like... Let's buy an old jail. Yeah. And it's like you can just go in. And then like Airbnb the whole goddamn thing. Let's go back. I think it's brilliant. Let's go check Alcatraz. Well, you think about it. They're telling you what to... You're bringing the food. They're doing this. And your only job is to bitch. That's it. Which is most of what I do now. Yeah. Yeah. But it does on a daily basis. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, out of... It goes... Carves little heads out of soap. Plus your friends would have to come like, talk to you and pick up the phone. Yeah. Hey, you want to know something really crazy that I'm doing in the month of June? As if I can do more crazy things, but you can. Got it. And I am. I'm going to go cell phone free. I'm also going to guess like the fuck out of anybody that comes to visit me. Okay. Because I bought like a... I'm going to get a 1980s like Jeep. I got a home phone installed. I got an old record player. Yeah. I'm going to take it as far as to put up like, paneling and shag carpet. Not sure. Yeah. But I'm like, yeah. Do it. Great signs for sale. Yeah. When they show up roofie about the airport and then drive them there and by the time they wake up the next morning, they like, they think they've time traveled. Yes. That would be fucking dope. Yes. Right? And they're going to come... My kids are in on it. My daughter. She's like all into it. She bought new clothes, like new old clothes. She went to school in California. She's coming home for the summer. And I was like, I have really missed you. I think we need quality time. And at first, I thought you would get really mad and you're like, oh, I'm leaning in on this. This is great. I'm getting an outfit. It actually is. It'd be great. Get some nice gangam and sew yourself a fucking dress. Yeah. I don't know. I think that's too far. No, but think about it. No, that's a difference. It's a gangam. Like leaving... You guys don't have to comment. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Instead of like the voicemail on this... I've never left a voicemail in my entire life. I have. Refuse me. Nope. Refuse me. Nope. I always do it very lengthy. I refuse. Which I know is ironic speaking into a microphone, but... I was going to say isn't there so much evidence of what you're saying? Don't worry about that. You give me your voicemail. I'll leave you an eight minute message. Yeah. It's going to be like a home phone. We're going to change it like every few days. I can't. I can't. You made some rich folk. I can't get the image out of my head of Jules pulling a sock out of the toilet and just singing "Hello, my friend." We meet again. Yeah. Right? This is kind of a lyric. It's the top of her lungs. Hello, my friend. I'll meet a girl. And right there at the posh, she squeezes the toilet wine. Squeeze the toilet wine in her mouth. It's been a while since you squeezed. If she makes a toilet wine, are you guys drinking it? Fuck yeah, dude. I trust Jules with my wife. I've eaten food off the ground and bagged that. I can handle some toilet wine. Okay, Jules, we should make some wine off. We do call it prison wine, off the grape arbor. Prison wine Jules, dude. Yeah, call it hooch. Yeah. So, yeah. PWJ. Prison wine Jules. Righta cow. Go to Mizzou. Righta cow. Drink some prison wine. Just drink some prison wine. Save a wine bottle. You just drink it right out of the sock, dude. You've got a guy that'll do tattoos as well if you guys need any more teardrops on her face. Yeah, we'll get some teardrops. There's barely any room, but yeah. Yeah, okay. The tears of a clown. Okay. We appreciate being here, Lucinda. Thank you. Moink box. Moink box. Go there now. Buy it. Yeah. Moo. Come join the Cool Kids Club. Do it. Or you're a fucking loser. Yeah, I can't know you. That's it. That's it. And then update us on this lawsuit and let us know what happens. Yeah. I got to know. Okay. I got another answer to that. Oh, yeah. We know what's happening. I mean, I just get like a giant paragraph text. And there's a lot of fuck, fuck this, fuck that. That's basically how she communicates. This is how I communicate. I want to hear you again. Fuck China. And, uh, uh, hey, is it all, is it all caps like Trump? No, it's not all caps. She's in the punctuation there as well, which I'm trying to do. I punctuate too. I can't. And then I said, like when we were like, hey, yeah, that's good. I say. All right, bet. Yeah. Like, okay, it's on. Yeah, it's on like Donkey Kong. Yeah. I might have even said that.
