Fireworks are expensive, dogs hate them, and somehow we all do it again the next year. We’re recording on July 5th, so the holiday afterglow is still strong and the takes are still hot: celebrating America with Mexican national friends, the way bilingual groups naturally switch languages, and why that kind of mixed table feels more real than any flag graphic online. Then we get into the big question everyone’s seeing lately: should drone shows replace fireworks, and does it feel safer or just less… American?
From there, we bounce between small-town reality and internet noise. We vent about Uvalde traffic and road construction, the simple need for someone to direct cars when streets get shut down, and the kind of social media posts that try to paint the whole country with the worst brush possible. We also take a hard left into pure joy: driving a classic 1969 Oldsmobile Delta 88 convertible, top down, and realizing not much built today can match that feeling.
The most serious moment hits when we talk about law enforcement taking over our OG Motors parking lot during a long stop and how bad the optics are for a new small business. We round it out with local food talk, CB radio nostalgia, a CrossFit challenge, a wild reality show idea about deportation, and our dream of a real destination barbecue spot in Uvalde. If you like funny, blunt, and hyper-local conversation, hit play, then subscribe, share the show, and leave a review so more people can find us.

SPEAKER_00Do they speak English the whole time?
SPEAKER_01Um they are so kind of like switching to mostly English when we're around. I actually thought about that on the ride home last night of just like they really must be the nicest people because you would have to just stay constantly aware of that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And they do. Like they and and I But it's not that big of a but it'll be funny because there'll be some things, and one of them's like I don't understand because there's English as a second language. And then they'll have a side combo of explaining in Spanish, and then the conversation all comes back to English and because it caught someone up or something got lost in translation. And I always feel like I improved my Spanish skills of them by hanging around. Yeah. Um, and then it was funny because we we left about 10 o'clock last night, and I was like, oh man, everyone's gonna, you know, if they stay up drinking, everyone was tired of it. If they stay up drinking beer, it's going all Spanish for sure. Oh, for sure. Like the minute like our taillights, our I pushed the brake lights on the car, it was all Spanish. I was thinking about that.
SPEAKER_00They're speaking Spanish right now, right?
SPEAKER_01Uh but it it was a good time, and I enjoyed my my Mexican national 4th of July. And I think we may go watch the game starts at 7. They're really excited about the soccer game, like Puto Excited. But it just starts at 7, and I think it'll last like three hours. I wish it started at 3. I think I could handle it. 7.

SPEAKER_01She said, I heard you were talking, I guess I was saying something ugly about this. Or I was like talking about getting new sponsors and stuff. Oh, you kind of did, yeah. She was like, before I re-up, I just wanted to make sure that you still wanted us, or if we needed to take a break, or whatever. She's like, I'm still listening. She was like, I'm a I am an episode behind. I was like, Well, I I I thought that maybe you quit on us, but we I was like, what do we need? Is there anything we can specifically say about Ziggy's or for Ziggy? And she just said, No, he's Ziggy, the man himself. The legend, the legend, the South African Tasmanian devil. No, that's a different country. South African albino honey badger.
SPEAKER_00Neil guy.
SPEAKER_01Is uh um he's paying attention to this screw worm because it could be problematic for the taxidermy industry if bag limits were to shrink or people were to I thought you just find him dead and you're like, alright, cool, grab one and stuff it and stuff it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01But you're doing a lot of skull mounts. People out scavenging. You follow buzzards around, get you a trophy.
SPEAKER_00Was he was he doing that in South Africa, or he just got into that here in the States?
SPEAKER_01Uh I don't know.
SPEAKER_00Shadow Ziggy, we gotta know.
SPEAKER_01Uh then on to Ruby's lounge.
SPEAKER_00They had a big night probably last night.
SPEAKER_01I think they had a big chingadera Friday night or something.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, they had a band playing Estilo.
SPEAKER_01Estilo. Those guys play a lot here.
SPEAKER_00Style? Is that what it is? I don't know. I don't know. Watch I spoke Spanish. Yeah. I think my mom like purposely didn't teach us just to make fun of me.
SPEAKER_01Just so they could talk about you. I like that.
SPEAKER_00It's freaking fun of funny. I like that.
SPEAKER_01Uh so shout out Ruby's. Manny's over at Garza's. I'm gonna see him a couple times this week. Looking forward to that. Always does a lights out job. Uh I did not have to call my friends at River City Bell Bonds because I didn't need to get out of the Who's Cow this weekend.
SPEAKER_00I thought I was shooting on those fireworks.
unknownOoh.
SPEAKER_00And they were outside its limp city limits, so if you're wondering, maybe.
SPEAKER_01But if you catch the house on fire, you just call A1 Fire and Safety and say, I hope you guys hung up my fire extinguisher so I know where they are, so I can put this out promptly.
SPEAKER_00I was I was out there and uh I was Brett's like, hey, you piece of shit. And I was like, and he has the fire extinguisher. I'm like, oh, that's you. He's like, Yeah, it's me. I'm like, oh, that's why we're talking about you, because it's you. Shout out, A1.
SPEAKER_01It's him and Flood is oh John Flood is okay. Uh Flot is the one who hollered at me. So shout out, boys. Uh hope you guys had a safe 4th of July. Maybe you'll sell some extra fire extinguishers this week after some mishaps.
SPEAKER_00Are these chemical fire extinguishers? I believe so. Nice.
SPEAKER_01I think I bet they love Thanksgiving, like when people are burning shit down, frying turkeys all bell.
SPEAKER_00I remember you fried that turkey one year. It's pretty good. In Midland. Well, I was like, it's kind of dangerous.
SPEAKER_01It is dangerous, but it's good. All that fucking oil is worth it.
SPEAKER_00It is worth it.
SPEAKER_01Oven turkey is ugh. It's for the birds. For the birds. They should make a crock pot big enough for a turkey. These big old injected steroid turkeys.
SPEAKER_00Dude, I've been having great ideas lately. I don't know what it is, but that's a great idea. That's a great idea. A huge crock pot.
SPEAKER_01So you were mentioning, you were asking, like, is shooting fireworks inside the city limits illegal? Yeah. I think they give you a pass on New Year's Eve and on the 4th of July. But if you're shooting off fireworks tonight, I think the police will come.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, they probably will.
SPEAKER_01I think you get two-day passes, but it is because it's America after all. It is America. It is America.
SPEAKER_00I went and bought some last night at that one shout out over by um around 90. That huge building. Uh-huh. They were they were letting him shoot off in the parking lot. Oh wow. Did you know that? That sounds dangerous. That sounds like a poor idea. I told my mom and that she's like, what if they go in the building and like uh yeah, that would be that would be catastrophic.
SPEAKER_01I saw some deal that San Diego was supposed to have a 17-minute long fireworks display. Oh my god. And they had a computer glitch and they all went off in 28 seconds. I bet that was just it looks like a nuclear bomb. I saw it on Twitter if it's real and it looked real.
SPEAKER_00Really? Yeah. I heard that nuclear bombs aren't real. I've been into this. Now I'm into the uh what is it, conspiracy stuff. Oh, yeah. That uh if we had them, we'd use them and it's all fake.
SPEAKER_01You just stick Chris Conrad's grandpa in a microwave. It's as close as you can get to a nuke.
SPEAKER_00The same guy who saw he was talking about that. He was talking about his grandpa. He said some ugly things about him. Ugly. But he didn't even know him. He was just like, this guy's a fucking whatever.
SPEAKER_01Oh, that's funny. What uh I also saw I saw a couple of things on my social media feed yesterday that I'd like to talk about. One
Drone Shows And Online Hot Takes
SPEAKER_01thing was more and more drone shows. How do you feel about replacing fireworks with drones? It feels un-American, but I would definitely watch one of them. I do like it.
SPEAKER_00I saw the one with the eagle. Did you see that one? No. It was like a uh it was like uh all the drones, they made an eagle and and then all the drones let out the fireworks.
SPEAKER_01I want a drone show over Uvalde Estates while people from the Uvalde Estates try to shoot the drones down with bottle rockets. That is the that would be amazing. That's America right there.
SPEAKER_00The uh European mind cannot comprehend. Everyone always says this is the so I think they can comprehend that we're just wacky cocksuckers out here.
SPEAKER_01And then the second thing I noticed quite a bit of on my feed was, you know, we all have these uh friends of ours that are uh I don't know if they're friends there, but they're people we know. Sometimes they're friends. Radical, radical liberals. And when I have I have the radical radical right wings, a few of those people that I don't know any of those.
SPEAKER_00Uh are you considered radical right wing?
SPEAKER_01I don't surely not.
SPEAKER_00I don't know who like Benny Johnson. Yeah, that's the only one I know, and I don't like him either.
SPEAKER_01But well, you have this like small section of people. Like when I say radical right wings, you're like like the people like the South will rise again, we should have never let them like don't pay your taxes, shoot the government. Like the white guy in New Zealand. I see people share shit like that every now and then. I'm like, oh, you know.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I don't see that. Maybe you're on a different.
SPEAKER_01And then yesterday I saw a couple of, and when I say a couple, I literally mean two liberal, very liberal people that were sharing something like 250 years of America, and it was just like showing pictures of slavery, uh, women not being able to vote, and you know, dogs attacking protesters, like made it look like horrible.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And uh of course it was two liberal women who were ranning and ray one of them was ranning and raving, and one of them was sharing uh comments and pictures of the most unflattering things, of course, are history.
SPEAKER_00Of course, no one I know did that.
SPEAKER_01Yes. Sorry, guys. But that's how they would like to label the entire nation.
SPEAKER_00Do I know these people?
SPEAKER_01Uh no. Okay, good. You know, but I mean, you know, you you don't have to turn up too many rocks to find a fucking idiot. Sometimes I'm the idiot underneath a rock.
SPEAKER_00Sometimes I I think all the time I we've all been there. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Um, I don't know. America.
SPEAKER_00I I just like living here. I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_01I mean, the irony the other day of when I had to complain about traffic, even though we're in the road construction business did not did not like fall upon me like I was ignorant of it. But it was
Traffic, Road Work, And Town Chaos
SPEAKER_01just I still needed to say it.
SPEAKER_00Like I thought they fixed all that stuff.
SPEAKER_01I can be overweight and still say we have too many fat people. I just what it is.
SPEAKER_00Well, don't they fix the roads in the winter? So why the fuck we should do that.
SPEAKER_01Here we should work the roads in the winter just because it's not really a thing. And it's fucking hot. And it's hot. Take it easy on this one. We have a lot of traffic. I mean, we have the deer hunters and the hunters and things in the winter, but not like the summer, anyways. The other day was just it was ghastly. Unbelievable. They had every asshole in town with a bobcat and a backhoe was had had shut a street down in town. They really did. I mean, it was ridiculous. And then, and all you have to do is flip through the newspaper to find some shitty article about law enforcement, and half of them are how fat they are in Uvaldi. How about put some of these old sweat hogs in the middle of the road to keep the traffic flowing? Not one that's your idea, not one officer out directing traffic. What was going on?
SPEAKER_00That they're so busy. It could have been AI. I dude, are these appalled?
SPEAKER_01I was appalled that we were just like I didn't go down Nepal.
SPEAKER_00I didn't make a fifth on, I didn't make it right on fifth, left of Nepal and go all the way to go to O'Reilly's.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, thank God I'm uh I'm I know the old coyote trail. I could get around this son of a bitch. I just anytime I have to get off of uh 90 or 83 because of bullshit, I just call it the coyote trail. That's smart. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that traffic is a bitch, and they've been doing it forever. And I don't know how uh Rosemary puts up with it because it's right in front of her place.
SPEAKER_01You know, I will say this much about Rosemary. She's probably one of the strongest people, let alone women, but just people I know. Oh yeah. Fearless woman, fear fearless person.
SPEAKER_00She's like the uh what's it called? What's that French lady back in the day with a sword?
SPEAKER_01Oh, Joan of Arc. She's like Joan of Arc. Yeah, she's Joan of Taco. Juana of Arc. Dude, I'm ready to turn her loose on text.the city, the county with a hot Kamal and just have them have her paddle some ass.
SPEAKER_00I think she had a picture of Charlie Kirk or a billboard or something on her thing, and someone like complained to her, and she told him to get the fuck out. So I'm proud to be an American and eat my food at sunrise. And Char Charlie Kirk, I didn't I don't even like that sort of thing, but uh, at least he loved America.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Sorry, guys. Sorry. He he had some controversial things, and I don't like the content he put out, but I still uh like that he liked America. That's right.
SPEAKER_01That's right.
SPEAKER_00But yeah,
Dogs, Fireworks, And Riverbed Crowds
SPEAKER_00I was shooting those um fire those uh fireworks, dude. They were pretty powerful.
SPEAKER_01Did you have like your nieces or nephews? Uh one of my nephew. Okay, I thought maybe you were just like, I'm a 44-year-old or 43-year-old man with some with a bottle rocket.
SPEAKER_00No, but he he is like, Do we have any fireworks? I'm like, I think we can get some. Yeah. Uh my dogs are scared as shit, too. Those dogs hate fireworks.
SPEAKER_01Well, we'll go back and look at your uh your fitness tracker on your phone through the year and just gonna have one spike the 4th of July when you're running back from a bottle rocket.
SPEAKER_00Dude, that's exactly what happened. He videoed us, he videoed us doing it. My mom watching the video, and it's me lighting it and me like, come on, Toddy, and the dog. And it's I was like, run, and the dog's running ahead of us.
SPEAKER_01That's funny.
SPEAKER_00It was pretty fun. I haven't lit uh uh firework in a long time.
SPEAKER_01It's fun though, it's literally lighting your money on fire.
SPEAKER_00It was for so American for eight little shells. It was uh $53.
SPEAKER_01It's expensive.
SPEAKER_00It was worth it.
SPEAKER_01And there was probably a hundred assholes up there buying them, standing in line to buy them.
SPEAKER_00They ran there, they had they were like running out, running out, and this is at like 10:30 at night.
SPEAKER_01I love that. I love it. Did you see the pictures of uh 19 mile crossing yesterday?
SPEAKER_00My mom's like, are we getting invaded? She thinks it's an invasion.
SPEAKER_01Oh my god. She's like, Are they Muslims? What's going on? I saw one picture from uh uh from the brid like the main bridge, like looking down. And it was as far as you could go, and it was like the beach at Port of Ridd's.
SPEAKER_00It was cars four deep. And they they packed down the rock so much that you could drive a car, a two-wheel drive car all the way down.
SPEAKER_01Could drive up in jumpala. You could, dude.
SPEAKER_00You could drive this Cadillac out here.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, kind of cool. So and then, of course, all of the arguing in the comments of this is America, we ought to be able to drive the riverbed. Don't disagree. And then somebody else like, just pick your trash up, and then somebody else let them enjoy their day, quit worrying about the trash. They need to provide dumpsters and trash service. And then someone's like, We literally have been doing that for 10 years, and people will walk by the dumpster to throw their shit diaper on the ground.
SPEAKER_00Someone said that they have they put a dumpster and they still won't use it, yeah.
SPEAKER_01And of course, one of our long time NegPod fans was in the middle of that stuff. I didn't see that who? Stormy.

SPEAKER_00Did you see that deal where there's uh the they excommunicated like this whole sect of uh priests the Catholic Church did because they're like No.
SPEAKER_01Oh, okay, just making sure.
SPEAKER_00I think it was like 'em out for that. They went uh they went like it was like they're following I can't my mom is explaining it to me, but they just don't agree with like the changes they made in the 60s. So they've been doing it the old way, and uh finally this year they're like, you know what, you're out. You're out you're done. Don't even go to this church anymore.
SPEAKER_01I heard there was uh um what's the a little kerfuffle because the Pope made comments on the World Cup and called it soccer. Oh yeah, I saw that they didn't like that, did they?
SPEAKER_00I don't know, who cares? Yeah, this is America, dude. And this is Italy's little America now. The Vatican.
SPEAKER_01Is it football because in a lot of those countries everybody stole something and they had to cut their hands off, so they had to get a game where they could only use their feet?
SPEAKER_00Maybe yeah, but uh it wouldn't it be bot that ball? Or what is it foot? Why is it foot? You're taking our word.
SPEAKER_01Well, they tried to run away after they stole it, so they cut one foot off, so it's football instead of feet ball.
SPEAKER_00Maybe they're all diabetic.
SPEAKER_01Maybe they're all diabetic, yes. But yeah, tonight Mexico plays England. England. That's a huge game. I hope they beat those fish-eating limey bets.

SPEAKER_01I I have not I've driven that car one time in a parade. And and then I'm uh like so I didn't really get to drive it. I got to I got to the parade, it was already parked there. They they're like, hey, would you mind driving this? I drove it during the parade. I got to where the parade ended, I put it in park, somebody else drove it home, so I haven't really driven it. Whose was it? It's it's my uncle's. Oh, okay. And it literally he bought it for a parade car. Yeah. And so um, but now he's like, I'm I think I'm maybe I'm willing to sell this, you know. Um I think I want to sell it. So I've had it up here.

And like no one's gonna buy it unless they know exactly what it is and want one. And at that point, like, what's it? The only person will work it out if you want to buy it.
SPEAKER_00The only person I can see driving it in with a big smile on his face is be your uncle. Yes. And I think I saw him driving it with the Cadillac with a huge smile. He loves his shit.
SPEAKER_01And uh I I was smiling all day yesterday. I even I drove it out to um to the ri like out to the ranch. And it was just great. I mean, the it has so many old amenities in it.

Like, dude, this is your fucking job. It's not my deal. And he was an old man.
SPEAKER_01You put the divider before you put your groceries, and then you put your groceries, and if someone's behind you, then they're they should put the divider.
SPEAKER_00What? He was right. What are you saying? I'm saying that he was ahead and he put his groceries, he should have put the divider. Behind him?
SPEAKER_01Yes. I mean, from a from a practical standpoint, I think you're correct because the whole point is you don't want to be paying for shit that it's not yours and you don't want it.
SPEAKER_00Pull that thing a little closer.
SPEAKER_01But yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I mean, I think you're right, but that's not how I do it.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_01Backwards ass white people.

Stray Animals And Random Pet Drama

And then the kids were there this week, and and they said there was three stray dogs inside Walmart just running around. I guess it's so damn hot they just wandered in there.
SPEAKER_00I know uh there was uh a stray dog in like Belton that lived in that hung out in the Dollar General. It like it like laid on the carpet. Oh wow. I was like, Y'all have a dog, they're like, Yeah, we know it's like our dog. And I was like, this isn't a fucking garage. This is a corporate deal. You can have a dog living here. Idiots.
SPEAKER_01I like that. It's funny. I like that. I got home last night and there were two more dogs at the house. And I know what happened. Some Bella was shooting off fireworks, and the dogs got scared, but there's two, and I was like, Well, hopefully they'll go home. I woke up this morning and they're like, We live here now. And they're so it was our two dogs, our our dog we've had for two or three years. Yeah, the new dog we've had for a week, and the two new dogs that showed up last night. So there's four dogs, and they're all hanging out, and they're all like, Hey, hey, hey, what's up? What's up this morning? And I was like, oh fuck. So would you run them off? No, but until they can't like the kids, I was like, try to find those dogs where they live or whatever. Okay. Were they bigger dogs? Drop them off at 19 mile. That's what I'm saying. Go to the prior bridge. Uh it was a bulldog and a French bulldog.
SPEAKER_00Oh, some some like nice dogs.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, they had collars, but I didn't see if they had names on them or what I didn't want to I didn't touch them. Yeah. I didn't kick them either, though. No.
SPEAKER_00Shout out. That story about you running over that dog. That dog. What? You had a story about you running over that dog on your way to Del Rio or whatever. That was so bad. That's a long time ago. It was an accident, though. It was an accident. Okay, sorry.
SPEAKER_01Sorry, sorry. It's an accident.
SPEAKER_00Everyone just was quiet. It's a mess. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Well, I was I had a whole bunch of people from out of town, and I was like turning around, like looking in the rearview mirror while I'm driving. Yeah, you're like, is everybody okay? And like I'm visiting a katook and I just like nailed a dog. Oh, I wasn't paying attention well.
SPEAKER_00Uh I saw Javi hit a dog one time. Yeah, he did an accident, but it was it was a crazy moment. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I I feel like most people would feel worse about hitting a dog than a person. Yes. Because they'd be like, he shouldn't have been looking or they were in the way or whatever. But but they dart out, dude. They're darters.
SPEAKER_00That's all they do is dart. But you feel bad about a dog. I feel bad about it. I saw someone over a cat, and I was like, eh, not good.
SPEAKER_01Um running over squirrels is interesting, though. They're hard to hit.
SPEAKER_00Dude, they run out and they run out and then they'll double back and then they'll come back.
SPEAKER_01And every time there's a squirrel on the road, you've got to look at your rear view mirror because you don't really know did you get him or not. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And most of the time you didn't. I've seen people hit them and they squish their head and their bodies are flopping.
SPEAKER_01Oh yeah. I've seen them too where they just run over the tail and there's just like fur on the tire track where it like ran out of its tail and it's a squirrel getting out of the room. Well, at least it lived. Yeah. Now it's a chipmunk. That's it. Yeah. That's it.
unknownSquirrels.

SPEAKER_00I think I've heard of that movie, I've just never seen it.
SPEAKER_01Somebody should just become Rodney Dangerfield and start doing awesome movies again.
SPEAKER_00I think you could do that, Buzz.
SPEAKER_01Anyways, uh Chunk was over here. Shut up, Chunk. And you made a great comment. Like, yeah, he is large. Like he's he's three bills or whatever, but yeah, okay. But you but you said he was we or maybe we collaborated this term.

SPEAKER_00Didn't Balkie go to like some school in New York City? He did. Oh my god. Now he's traveling the world. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And opening up restaurants and he's gonna end up just like Anthony Bourdain, I hope.
SPEAKER_00He might. Yeah. Well, hang himself. Somebody tell me, I think I was with uh some late woman, and she was like, What happened to the other? And I was like, maybe he just got old, got so old that he decided, you know, living more is just not worth it, you know. And uh she was like, Well, that's weird. That's why would you say that?
SPEAKER_01I'm like, I feel like it would have been more suiting if he would have just gone to the forest and ate random mushrooms till one of them killed him.
SPEAKER_00That's what I'm like. Don't kill if you're gonna kill yourself, don't just kill yourself. Like, go rob a bank and then kill yourself.
SPEAKER_01Do this, yeah, make it exciting. Yeah, yeah. I guess if you're depressed, though, you just do it all gay.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, you're just like, I'm gonna be gay uh till the end. Till the end.
SPEAKER_01So killing yourself. Uh
Local Food Finds And Service Reality
SPEAKER_01I went to the farm fresh beef restaurant.
SPEAKER_00Is that a restaurant or is that a food truck without food trucks? I don't know if they know what it is. I always drive by. I'm like, this looks kind of cool, but I'm like, what is this? So here's the deal.
SPEAKER_01Would I ever go there on my own? No. No, that's why I haven't gone. Do I would I go back? Yes. Do I want to go back? Not on my own accord. Okay. If you were like, hey, we're going to lunch here, I was like, oh, I'll meet you there. Where would we sit? You go there. Do the Ring Moon cheer? They have picnic tables and chairs, and it's very nice. Like it's not only is it nice, but it's quality and it's clean, and they have like stuff for the kids, and they and it's outside covered, but it's got the big fans, it's pleasant. But you order from like the food trailer, and I believe they were the same people that own the Mill Creek, the Minnonite restaurant. And um, and so they have a food trailer and some of the Mennonite ladies, I think we're that's who is cooking in there, and it's a pretty limited menu, three or four things, and maybe a special item sometimes. Um, and it's it's funny. I do like their approach. Like you go and they're like, it's gonna be 30 minutes, and it's like 12. But they don't want you like in case it is 30 minutes, in case like you know, they lose an order or something like that, they don't want anybody complaining. They tell you it's gonna be 30 minutes.
SPEAKER_00Have you noticed that in New Valley with a little sidebar in Uvalde? There's always like signs in restaurants like take we take time here, don't complain. I've seen that at multiple places in town. Yeah, like there's multiple, no complaints. If you complain, you're out.
SPEAKER_01Dude, the other day um I was getting frustrated. It's funny because Ophelia's is one of the fastest places in town.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Sunrise too. Oh, yeah. You can be in and out of there. And then there's a couple other places in town that's like you you have a lunch hour and it's gonna take almost your whole lunch hour. You're gonna eat that hour up. But I will say, Ophelia's and sunrise, 99% of the time you can be walk in and be done inside of 30 minutes. Which is good, which is awesome. Yeah, I love it. Uh and Friday was a shit show at Ophelia's. They were so busy.
SPEAKER_00I was with you. I know. Well, they're not all that busy all the time.
SPEAKER_01Uh it I think they had like one or two less people working the floor as far as weight staff. Yeah. So usually they're very uh adequately staffed. Um buying fireworks. But we were exactly like an hour in there, which is three times as long as it usually takes. I'm making trouble with my boss. Wait, he's right here. I was ready to poke my eye out because I got all hangry.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, you were angry that day. Yeah, I get all hangry. The best part about Uvaldi is you pull in you pull into a restaurant, like Ophelia's or Sunrise, and the parking lot's packed full. It's packed full of cars. And usually in Santana would be like, I'm not stopping you, I'm not going in. You'll go in. Here's your table right here. Yeah. It's always like everyone brings their own car. Everyone brings their own car. Yeah. So if you're in Uvaldi and the parking lot's packed, just go in because there'll be a spot for you.
SPEAKER_01And the farm fresh beef is kind of you know, mid-night white people food.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_01And you order at the trailer. They're like burgers and stuff. And then they have they have burger, like a taco option, uh and a roast beef sandwich kind of knockoff Arby's. I mean, the higher quality. And they make their own bread. Which I've been eating shitty, mass-produced bread for so long that they're like, this is homemade bread. And I was like, I don't like it. It's not it's not for me. There's not enough sugar in the yeah, yeah. There's all the sugar. Where what do you yeah? Y'all y'all forgot something. I think you forgot the gluten. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And uh where do those Mennonites come from? Were they come from here? Uh Mexico or Seminole, Texas. Oh, but the like the Mexic, like the white Mexico Mexicans. Yeah, yeah. And they wear those little hats. The women that's cool.
SPEAKER_01Um, but after you order at the trailer, then you go inside and you order your drink at another place. Okay. You go into another building, and inside that building is like their little meat market.
SPEAKER_00Uh-huh. Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_01And then they have another little building if you wanted to that's a little bakery, if you wanted to go in and buy dessert.
SPEAKER_00Another building, get your fucking fork and knife.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it's just like, anyways, it's the most unique place in town. And I'm not, um it just it's it's different. It needs to be consolidated, is what you're saying. Or maybe that's how they're.
SPEAKER_00I've heard good things. I've just never been because um, I don't know what the ord the the sequence is.
SPEAKER_01My cousin eats out there all the time. He's uh he's a big yeah.
SPEAKER_00Gotta check it out. Yes, sir. I like that um that restaurant they had though by the by their their chair store. What was it called? Lone Star Lone Lone.
SPEAKER_01Mill Creek Furniture.
SPEAKER_00No, Lonesome Dove or what was it? Oh Open Range. Open Range. Yeah, they had some good food there. Then they shut it down.
SPEAKER_01Shut her down. Shut her down. Uh did you hear they've they caught that giraffe and they rescued it? Yeah. And then uh when they loaded it into that trailer to transport it back to the ranch on the trailer, you know, the giraffe's so big that its neck was like rubbing on it and it rubbed a wound on there and the screw worms ate its head off. I thought it went Gracie's dead.
SPEAKER_00I thought it went up his ass.
SPEAKER_01They ate it from both ends.
SPEAKER_00Wait, I thought this was real, so I looked it up. It's not real. What?
SPEAKER_01Those screw worms, are they everywhere? I'm just telling you, like, nobody seems or a handful of people seem to give a rat's ass about the screw worm. And a lot of people don't. If the screw worms would have eaten that giraffe, everybody would give a rat's ass. It would have been national news. It would have been world news. World news. David Muir would be talking about it. Yes. Yeah. So gotta sacrifice one giraffe to the screw worms, people. Can straight cats get that? I but I think so.
SPEAKER_00I don't know. We got a bunch of straight cats in my house. They're everywhere, dude. These cats are insane. I think I'm more scared. I'm more scared of the cats than the immigrants.
SPEAKER_01I thought that's fair.
SPEAKER_00You could get a cat scratch fever. Uh oh my Yeah, you could. Wait, what is that?
SPEAKER_01Is it some Ted Nugent bill? Yeah. But immigrants haven't. Okay.
SPEAKER_00But didn't you say that the immigrants brought over that parasite for your gut?
SPEAKER_01That's so that was the speculation online. I saw like a really racist thing about it. It's like all the Indians in Frisco, Texas are working in the food industry now, and that's why everyone has this Jordal disease or whatever. But then I was like, oh, that's just racism on the internet that's meant to be. I heard they don't shower though. I think that's the thing. They do stink. Uh is that true? There's a different standard of hygiene for sure. They don't have the chemicals we have. But I'm not saying they're dirty.
SPEAKER_00No. Um they have dirt on them, but it's just you can wash it off with water. Yeah. Not that water from home. No.
SPEAKER_01That water's dirtier.
SPEAKER_00What did we see that thing about uh chunks in about the thing?
SPEAKER_01But what I think that this bug, this diarrhea stomach bug that's wreaking havoc, I think it's from the World Cup travelers. Yeah. Like some country somewhere bought so many visitors and one of their horrific gut parasites has attacked. Is it just diarrhea though? Apparently it's bad, like 30 times in a day. I've had that before. I had that like.
SPEAKER_00So we did Wednesday? Yeah, like last week. I had the I had the uh jalapeno powers from Sonic and a burger at the same time.
SPEAKER_01They say what'll shut that off is if you get one of those raspas with the chamoya gummy worms in it, that'll just plug it off.
SPEAKER_00Like plug it off. Uh but we know some of people who have had that, right?
SPEAKER_01Dude,
Troopers In The Parking Lot
SPEAKER_01yeah. Thursday afternoon. Yeah. There were three or four troopers parked in my driveway here. Oh, yeah, I was there. At Old G-Motors. Shout out to you, 2309 East Main Street. Come see us for all your classic vantage. We have new stickers. New stickers, too. Uh shout out the Sutherland boys. Ross and Heath came by yesterday and checked out the inventory, and uh Ross took one of your uh new stickers to put on in the ranch truck. You're welcome. And his his son, Ross's son, like he was all about the business. He was he was like, What's the he told me what's the best price best price you'll do on this El Camino? And I said I gave him one. And then he told his dad, he goes, Dad, I and he was like, is that a good price? Can we buy it? He's like, and Ross is like, we gotta talk to your mom. And like he wouldn't let it go. I had to like get the keys out of his pocket before he left. He loved it that much. He loved that El Camino. Ross, by the boy El Camino. Put him in style in Austin. What's the price on that on that deal? That uh El Camino is $12,950. Oh my god, that's a steal. That's a steal. Brand new rebuilt $350 in it. It's beautiful, too. Yeah, it shines like a fucking top. I might go drive that after we do this. I'm thinking I'm gonna drive that. Are you really?
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Wanna go for a ride?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it after the show. I want to redo that C10, dude, now that we're talking about it.
SPEAKER_01I do too. Yeah, we can get it done.
SPEAKER_00Maybe we'll go for a ride on it too. Yeah, we could do that. Um I'm getting a little parasite thing right now.
SPEAKER_01Be good for you. Healthy. How? Kickstart. But, anyways, there on Thursday, there was uh there was three or four troopers, and my property is not that big. Like no, it has room for maybe four troopers. Four troopers, and this poor innocent black man. He was black, he was from somewhere else.
SPEAKER_00That's for sure.
SPEAKER_01He was dark black. Yeah. He was African. He did kind of have the African motherland tint to him, but he did not have any of that dress or whatever look like American, but he has dark African. Yeah, he wasn't diluted at all. And he was pulled over here, and I kind of looked out and saw the cameras and saw that there was a car park. I just kind of glanced and I was like, oh, maybe someone just pulled. I get tired the tire kickers pull up and they kind of park pedal and like take up too much space, but they they hit it and run. They get out, they look at something and they're gone. They're here, you know, a minute. Yeah. That maybe 90 seconds. Well, I looked up again like five minutes later, and that car was still there. I was like, what the hell's going on? I opened my window and then taking up my entire parking lot, blocking all my business, all my entrances, everything. I had a hard time getting to the O'Reilly's, yeah. Is four, three or four troopers and this one black guy in like a car. There's a newer Camaro. A newer Camaro. Yeah. Okay. And how long were they here? An hour? A long time. Maybe more than an hour. And I didn't really realize until they after they'd been here at least 30 or 40 minutes. But I was getting pretty frustrated, like, yeah, you see these troopers, and I know they're just doing their job. It's bad for business. It's bad for business. Like, take that shit, like, put hey, how about hey, y'all own the whole fucking road? Stop them in the road. Get out of my parking lot. Right. This isn't a goddamn crime scene, CSI. Go over to Hibbshit. Go over to Hibbit Sports. And so I had that new digital sign, and uh I was trying to I don't know how to work it yet.
SPEAKER_00I can't believe you haven't even tried. Have you even tried to look at that thing?
SPEAKER_01I haven't because I'm I'm I'm gonna mess with it after the grand opening because like right now it says the grand opening and it says old G and like for the next. Week, I'm not messing with it because I don't want to mess it up and then I can't get the guy to fix it, or I gotta watch 40 YouTube videos or whatever. Right. Had I known how to work that sign, it would have said, How many troopers does it take to stop a black man in Uvalde, Texas?
SPEAKER_00They would have moved him up across the highway.
SPEAKER_01And they would have that shit would have stopped in a minute. In a fucking minute. Yeah. Uh so if you're uh one of our fine boys in blue, don't use my goddamn parking lot for a SWAT team. We don't need that here. We're just starting. We're just trying to get going. We're trying to get out of the gate.
SPEAKER_00Trying to kill a small business. I can't see that.
SPEAKER_01And I'm just telling you, the optics of four Hispanic DPS officers in one gringo and a drug dog and a super dark tinted, well kind of clean cut looking black guy for an hour in front of a new business is bad fucking options. It doesn't look good. It don't look good. No.
SPEAKER_00So yeah, take that shit across the street.
SPEAKER_01And take it, take it down to the text best.
SPEAKER_00That's perfect for them. Perfect. Perfect. Yeah. So. What do you think he was up to no good? I don't know. Who knows? They probably do you think he was like hauling, they thought he was like hauling a Mexican or something?
SPEAKER_01I don't know. I saw they had the dog out and all kinds of stuff.
SPEAKER_00I see him on the roads, like they pull people over and they'll start taking shit out of their car.
SPEAKER_01That's the one thing I like about like wearing the meta glasses. I never use them, but I feel like if I film myself in that situation, I'd be like, hey guys, we've been here 10 minutes. I've cooperated. I'm turning these glasses on, and now we're gonna like everything from this point on is going on the internet and straight to my lawyer. Right. Like we we you just do it by the book. Yeah. Because now you're wasting my time. Right. Yeah. And they probably do they just let them go, probably, huh? Yeah, they just let them go. Wasting, like, I don't know, is frustrates me. Frustrates. Frustrates me.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, you get around Austin, you see those DPS guys.
unknownI don't know.
SPEAKER_01And the problem is, is like what they do is they're train so many in this area. So we're kind of the region that gets a lot of the training. Because we have all kinds of things down here in the border region. You know, you could they could be exposed to anything. Yeah, it's actually. Probably a great place to train. Yeah. The problem is, is like we're subjected to all these fucking greenhorns down here thinking they're Walker, Texas Ranger.
SPEAKER_00Like that guy pulled me over in Kinepa, that young kid. Yeah. Yeah, it's true. He pulled you over? Yeah, pulled me over in Kineppo for going like two miles over the speed limit. Yeah. He had his hand on his gun, uh, driving a fucking Dollar General truck in my gym shorts. What are you doing? I'm trying to get to work. It's fucking 5 30 in the morning.
SPEAKER_01Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_00And he asked me the same question like three times.
SPEAKER_01That's what they do. Like, I had them one time that they're like, Do you have any of this? You have any of that? You have any bazookas, automatic rifles?
SPEAKER_00Let's not be like, I'm in a bad mood. Don't be cute.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Yeah. But they're they're trained to ask you because apparently, if you're a bad liar or that they might get a tell off of you. It's like, listen here, you fucking carnival marker. Like, what do you think you're gonna get a react?
SPEAKER_00I don't know. I just but we are pro-law enforcement. Let's not get that. Uh let's not get that. Yeah, we are. We're pro-law enforcement. Shout out, Max.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. We're we're all pro for you. If you see some construction going on and traffic's backed up, we are pro. Get your ass in the middle of the road and get that. Start waving that arm. Come on through. If there's an accident in front of OG Motors or they've got a backup traffic, if you want to park four troopers here to get the damn traffic moving, I'm all for that. All for it. You I'll actually move the vehicles. You can park in the covered shade so your vehicles will be nice and cool when you get back in. Get the goddamn traffic moving, pal.
SPEAKER_00I think do you think that their AC works better than anyone in Texas? Maybe. Dude, it has to. They got black seats. They do. They make me ever is that's not happening to you, but I was driving a truck one time and they made me get in the passenger seat.
SPEAKER_02Really?
SPEAKER_00He didn't want to get out. He's like, come on, sit down. I'm like, in the car. He's like, in the fucking car. And he like, yeah, I had to open the door, get in. He's like, talking to me. I'm like, too bad you didn't have that choto disease. You're just like, I should have just shit. What about this? Like, whenever you get pulled over and you have to shit, like, do you just tell him, like, hey, I gotta shit? Can I go to the back? They probably wouldn't let you go. No, they wouldn't. I would just take a dump. Right there. Right fucking there. I mean, I wouldn't, but so I don't know. Uh yeah, so Ziggy's concerned about that. What's up
CB Radios, CrossFit, And Big Ideas
SPEAKER_00with C V radios? Dude, you're you're obsessed with these CBs. Are there any out there? There's one in that uh that F-250 that would be. Come back. Come back. CB radio. Come back. I think people don't need them anymore. Everyone has their phones.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_01I miss it. I tried to do a radio check the other day in that Ford with the video.
SPEAKER_00Did John McGee come back at you?
SPEAKER_01I remember the good old way days when you would do one and there'd be like some super trucker passing through town. He's like, got this radio. You reach out here and touch somebody, and he would be like in Del Rio.
SPEAKER_00There's a guy in Sacramento. I heard about him. He had a house off of 99, which is like a major highway that goes through like this the Central Valley. And he had like a whole station, and he would just talk shit to the truckers all day long. Some retired guy. I like that.
SPEAKER_01That would be a good one. They should put CBs in nursing homes. They can. And then just let them talk to all their old people. That'd be awesome. You just wheel over there and complain about C. Pakistanian though. Do the packies are they on the CB?
SPEAKER_00I don't know. You don't ask me the most. We need to get one. We'll just get one and try to make it work.
SPEAKER_01Let's get a base station for here at Old G. I would like to pick it up right here where we could just fire it up.
SPEAKER_00And do it on the show.
SPEAKER_01What if we live streamed from on a CB radio?
SPEAKER_00No one would listen. You never know. Maybe not. I thought about this. What about ham radio? We could get into that. Don't you have to have a license or something? I got every other damn thing. But how the how hard could that be to get? I don't know.
SPEAKER_01You just like apply, and then a year later you're like, yeah, but we could talk to the people in Ukraine and they're like, there's not really a war here. We're just stealing all your money. Joe Biden gave us your money.
SPEAKER_00I think they're stealing, I think what's his name stealing our money. What's his name? Zelensky. Yeah. Zelensky. Zelensky auto. Isn't that from October?
SPEAKER_01When that war started, they are painting this Zelensky as the almost as a George Washington.
SPEAKER_00I was about to say, yeah, he was a Lafayette like type character. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And now every time you see him, he just looks like he's like a methed out gamer. Yeah, dude.
SPEAKER_00He's probably partying every night. Someone said back in the day that was like a destination to find like these beautiful women. But the Ukraine was. Yeah. Is it true?

SPEAKER_01But I walked from my house to Dairy Queen and I did it with the cone and then I walked home.
SPEAKER_00That's exercise.
SPEAKER_01That's exercise. With a treat in the middle.
SPEAKER_00I think exercise only works if you do it throughout the whole day. Oh. These people who just go do it and for like an hour a day, I don't think that does anything. I think it's better than doing nothing. Well, yeah. No, I don't actually, I've heard that people who do nothing live longer. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Like the pot the potato chip eaten, like diet coke drinkers who just play video games, like they last forever.
SPEAKER_01What would I have to do to convince you? Would I have to like pay you? Would there have to be a prize? Could I just like make your pride and challenge you, challenge you to do it? What would it take for me to get you to join one of the local CrossFit?

SPEAKER_00I'll do it. Will you pay my membership dues? Yeah. Okay, I'll do it. Yeah. But which one? There's so many. So many.
SPEAKER_01I think you should go try each one of them and then we'll make a bit out of it.
SPEAKER_00Who was that guy? Uh who's that guy in Uvaldi? He's always on social media. He's a bigger dude who lost a ton of weight.
SPEAKER_01Oh, Steve G.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. He uh he made an awesome video the other day of him. He's he's just like walking around town. He's like looking at all the gyms. He's like showing how many gyms are in, and there's like nine or ten.
SPEAKER_01I haven't seen this video, but I've I've watched all of Steve's stuff.
SPEAKER_00It's a funny video. He's just like walking by each one. He's like, there's another one, there's another one. There's so many gyms. I don't know which one to go to.
SPEAKER_01I tell you what, man, that guy's social media is on point. Yeah, he's funny. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I think he has like a national following, I think. Yeah, and he's uh genuinely just a good person. Had some hard times, but uh he's persevering. I think he I think he's an inspiration to people.
SPEAKER_01I think he's insp inspirational and uh great for the community.
SPEAKER_00You can just you can either just wallow in your self-pity, or you could be like this dude, and everyone likes you and you're have a great attitude.
SPEAKER_01But but like it's on twofold because not only is he improving himself constantly, and you see all those videos, but also improving the community.
SPEAKER_00Yes. And bringing attention to more people like that. And he's lost a ton of weight. How much weight has he lost? Bro, is like 180 pounds. Good God Almighty. And I'll see him out there walking with like a weighted vest. Yeah. Man, next time.
SPEAKER_01Steve, if you ever have a cheat day coming up, call our docs and I will go eat lunch. Oh, God, imagine. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Well, Ophelia's was good. I didn't see the price though, but oh God. Uh let's see. Oh, you got a TV show idea. Oh, yes. It's a show that follows the life of a deported person from America. Preferably back to Middle Eastern country or Africa or maybe Haiti. Is it a great isn't that a great idea? That'd be a great show. They're like, this person is deported, and then they follow them back to their old.
SPEAKER_01Especially if it's like one of those dreamer kids that's not really like they hadn't been to Haiti since they were three. Yeah. And now they gotta go back.
SPEAKER_00Imagine that. Imagine watching that.
SPEAKER_01That'd be a good show. That poor bass. I feel sorry for that kid.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Oh, he might be rich though at the end of it.
SPEAKER_01I would keep my Netflix subscription if they did this.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, what would we call it? Deported. Yeah. Nice. That's just an idea I had.
SPEAKER_01I would call it uh import export.
SPEAKER_00Okay. Yeah. Import export. Yeah. But should it be like a positive thing, like they started their business there or just Yeah, and then they get extorted by the mafia and killed. Do you think these Italians are the ones that ruin the country? You know how they they brought in like uh organized crime? Was that the beginning of the end?
SPEAKER_01Uh yeah, there's always crime, but then it was just master class and organization.
SPEAKER_00And it lasted up till now? Yeah. Or the 90s, like Soprano era era. Yeah. I don't know. I'm just trying to decide when did when did everything start going bad with like the immigration?
SPEAKER_01But I think there's a change now to the South American kind of cartel because they've they've been ruthlessly accumulating wealth, influence, and power, but now they have the kind of I mean they have almost like Saudi money, and they have influence and business and lawyers and politicians. Like I think they've kind of replaced the American Italian American mafia.
SPEAKER_00Mexicans or like Venezuelans?
SPEAKER_01The South American uh cartel culture.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. They have tons of money. Tons. I don't know, dude. I hate money. Money, you don't need it to be happy. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01But people are always wanting to be like, Money is a 1969 Delta 88 compared to 455.
SPEAKER_00I think your wife has saved in my phone as Delta 88 because she drove with that one day. Nice. Um but yeah, they're talking about freezing the rent. And everyone's excited. Yeah, freezing rent, more money. Where are they gonna freeze rent rent? What are you gonna do with this fucking money? You don't fucking need it. It's not gonna make your life better.
SPEAKER_01Where are they freezing the rent? New York City or get a rope.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_00Wait, was that from uh El Paso?
SPEAKER_01The Pace Becani.
SPEAKER_00Pace Bacani, yeah. That pace bicani tastes like shit too. Did you like it? I kind of like that. Uh my mom always made sales, though. Thick and junky. My mom made like eight serrano peppers, and I had four of them. Ooh. They were spicy, but I like a serrano. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I like this deport deported show.
SPEAKER_00We should try it out. Yeah. I don't know how we'd ever do that.
SPEAKER_01And then you could have like a commercial for somebody selling phone cards.
SPEAKER_00Don't you think Udvaldi needs a destination barbecue restaurant?
SPEAKER_01I would love it.
SPEAKER_00That's the only thing we're missing. And we have all we have all the people. If I'm gonna say one thing about Uvaldi that anyone a lot of people here in town can do is cook or barbecue. Why aren't we like the barbecue pit capital of Texas?
SPEAKER_01We're the we're the barbecue. Lockhart's the like the barbecue restaurant, but we're the we make it happen. We're the at-home barbecue capital.
SPEAKER_00We should have at least one. Yeah. I mean we have Avitt's, but they're closed like sometimes. Yeah. But I want like a like a boutique barbecue place, like a tree city and water. Shout out. Shout out. But uh barbecue.
SPEAKER_01Oh, I've got a new uh I've got an idea for that.
SPEAKER_00I think that's your new venture. Go ahead.
SPEAKER_01Okay, I would love to have a barbecue.
SPEAKER_00And I think my dad could be the master fucking cook. Interesting. He he cooks an awesome brisket.
SPEAKER_01I'm waiting for mine.
SPEAKER_00Are you still? Yeah. Okay. Keep waiting. No, I'll tell him. I think he's all about it though. He wants to cook one for you.
SPEAKER_01Um I agree. We need a destination barbecue, like a a top 50 barbecue.
SPEAKER_00And guess who's number one? A guy from fucking Evaldi already. And number two. I'm sorry. Yeah. Yeah. We can have a number three. Yeah. Chunk? Come on, Chunk and Joe Chom. Sumo barbecue? I like that. Nice, dude. I can't. I think it's a great idea.

SPEAKER_00I do too. Even if I have to uh go there and whip the chain myself, get them going.
SPEAKER_01I've seen a lot of chatter in the barbecue world that uh just with beef being so expensive, the new brisket is a whole smoked chicken.
SPEAKER_00I love a smoked chicken.
SPEAKER_01So if you come into a barbecue restaurant, you know, a plate is $25, then they could sell you like a whole smoked chicken and two sides for $25. So literally two people, probably four people can eat a whole smoked chicken.
SPEAKER_00Oh, dude.
SPEAKER_01But two for sure.
SPEAKER_00I ate a whole I ate a whole barbecue chicken from pollo sao one time.
SPEAKER_01Dude, that place is good.
SPEAKER_00It was good. And I ate all the fucking, it was like a stack of quick tea.
SPEAKER_01If if, and it's not, brisket's always gonna be the king. Number one. If it was to move from brisket to a chicken, now all of a sudden, like the pollo places, they're gonna be tough to beat. Yeah. Is that barbecue though? Yeah, isn't that mean barbecue chicken in Spanish? I mean, to me, that's barbecue, but it isn't barbecue. It's not smoking. To me, barbecue means smoking. Yeah. But to a lot of people, it just means cooked outside or cooked with a grill.
SPEAKER_00On that little on that little dial it says barbecue smoke, and then it goes to barbecue. So I think they made the rules. Yeah. Them's the rules, but them's the rules.
SPEAKER_01Them's the rules. I agree. I'll I concede.
SPEAKER_00And I think Live Oak has a little pollocala thing going now. We need to try the live oak this week. When the fuck are they open? I don't know. Let me look right now. Are we in a hurry? Uh no. I mean, we're kind of running out of. I know. Well, uh what else about that chicken?
