It was one of those days that the morning was so nice and lazy 131 00:06:16,980 --> 00:06:21,779 that it felt like it was like three times longer than it actually was. 132 00:06:21,779 --> 00:06:25,980 And then by the time we got to my sister-in-law's for dinner, 133 00:06:25,980 --> 00:06:30,579 we probably arrived like 2.30, 3 o'clock in there. 134 00:06:30,579 --> 00:06:34,829 And we didn't leave till 7 because the Packer game was starting at 7.20 that 135 00:06:34,829 --> 00:06:35,279 night. 136 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,379 And it just, again, felt like eternity waiting for the food to get ready 137 00:06:39,379 --> 00:06:42,279 and then finishing with the food and then waiting for the game to get ready 138 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:48,680 and then finally going home to put on some pajamas and saddle up for bed. 139 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:54,180 Oh, it was wonderful. It was relaxing. They got a sweet lift in. 140 00:06:54,180 --> 00:06:57,779 I had some decent beers. My sister-in-law's husband 141 00:06:57,779 --> 00:07:02,779 always likes to make sure I got some good beer whenever they have us over. 142 00:07:02,779 --> 00:07:06,480 So it was really wonderful. I had my first smoked turkey, too. 143 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,079 I've never had smoked turkey. Oh, so good. I've never had it fresh. 144 00:07:10,079 --> 00:07:12,879 A couple years ago, Nick and Nicole, I mean, I think they always smoke. 145 00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:14,980 They're very often will smoke their turkey. They're like, 146 00:07:14,980 --> 00:07:17,779 "Hey, you want some leftover turkey?" I was like, "Nah, I'm good." 147 00:07:17,779 --> 00:07:20,879 Like we smoked it yesterday. I was like, "Oh, you smoked it?" 148 00:07:20,879 --> 00:07:24,579 I won't say that. Yeah, it was delicious. 149 00:07:24,579 --> 00:07:27,579 And they also made this like glaze. 150 00:07:27,579 --> 00:07:31,180 Yeah, they had made some like bourbon maple glaze that they had put on it with 151 00:07:31,180 --> 00:07:34,279 the smoke. 152 00:07:34,279 --> 00:07:37,980 Delicious.

I did find, but it's fucking expensive, 156 00:07:47,379 --> 00:07:54,379 a combo 2-in-1 like propane grill slash pellet wood pellet smoker. 157 00:07:54,379 --> 00:07:57,079 Okay. And like you can do one or the other. 158 00:07:57,079 --> 00:07:59,180 You obviously can't do both at the same time. Right. 159 00:07:59,180 --> 00:08:02,379 And I was like, "Ooh, that could solve all my problems." 160 00:08:02,379 --> 00:08:06,079 Too bad it's like almost $1,000. Just sell your car. 161 00:08:06,079 --> 00:08:08,379 Yeah. Yeah, then you'll have enough. 162 00:08:08,379 --> 00:08:11,779 Yeah. We all know how much I hate my car.

I'll do whatever. And they're like, "Oh, let's just order 170 00:08:37,210 --> 00:08:37,680 it." 171 00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:43,879 And so they ordered a turkey and a ham from Gelson's. Do you guys have Gelson's 172 00:08:43,879 --> 00:08:45,179 No, I'm not familiar. 173 00:08:45,179 --> 00:08:50,679 Okay.

It was like $400. 178 00:09:03,980 --> 00:09:09,179 Fuck. And then when we got it, like, yes, it was pre-cooked, 179 00:09:09,179 --> 00:09:12,480 but because these things are so large, 180 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,379 the amount of time you had to stick it in the oven to just warm it up, 181 00:09:16,379 --> 00:09:20,679 took the same amount of time as it would take to fucking cook it. 182 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,679 The turkey was in there for like, okay, a little less. 183 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,179 The turkey was in there for like three and a half hours warming. 184 00:09:25,179 --> 00:09:28,580 The ham was in there for like two and a half hours warming. 185 00:09:28,580 --> 00:09:31,480 Super expensive. And I tell you what, 186 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,779 I don't know how you can fucking do this to ham, driest ham I've ever had. 187 00:09:35,779 --> 00:09:38,679 Ham is like 50% fat. How do you dry that out? 188 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:39,679 Yeah, that's tough. 189 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,980 It was awful. I felt so bad. They spent so much money. It was disgusting. 190 00:09:43,980 --> 00:09:46,980 But, you know, made a bunch of sides and the wife did a bunch of appetizers. 191 00:09:46,980 --> 00:09:50,090 Got there, got to my mom's house early and just started drinking like we 192 00:09:50,090 --> 00:09:50,879 normally do. 193 00:09:50,879 --> 00:09:55,279 In fact, normally we get there and we start cracking open the mimosas. 194 00:09:55,279 --> 00:09:58,279 But I don't know if you've heard this. My sister, not only got married, 195 00:09:58,279 --> 00:10:01,279 but apparently she's pregnant. Weird. 196 00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:02,980 Yeah. That happened so fast. 197 00:10:02,980 --> 00:10:06,379 I know. She told us all on Thanksgiving. 198 00:10:06,379 --> 00:10:09,179 She obviously not drinking. There was like no champagne. 199 00:10:09,179 --> 00:10:11,580 I was like, hey, what the fuck? Where's the champagne? 200 00:10:11,580 --> 00:10:15,679 So, fuck. Yeah, we needed some cream from the store for one of the things. 201 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,679 I was like, I will go to the store and get your cream. 202 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,129 Came walking in. Champagne, cream. 203 00:10:23,129 --> 00:10:26,830 Yeah, I came walking in with cream and juice and champagne. 204 00:10:26,830 --> 00:10:29,330 And we had fucking mimosas. Good for you. 205 00:10:29,330 --> 00:10:33,029 Yeah, it's perfect. You catch a little buzz while you're cooking 206 00:10:33,029 --> 00:10:35,629 and then you eat dinner and, you know, you kind of sober up a little bit just 207 00:10:35,629 --> 00:10:37,129 in time to drink some more shit. 208 00:10:37,129 --> 00:10:42,629 See, I felt a little out of sorts because everybody from the shop that I work, 209 00:10:42,629 --> 00:10:46,129 they were all sending texts between like 9 and 11 a.m. 210 00:10:46,129 --> 00:10:49,929 of their first beverage of the day. Yeah. 211 00:10:49,929 --> 00:10:54,929 And I didn't send mine until like 2.45 and they called me. 212 00:10:54,929 --> 00:10:58,580 Said it was like blasphemy on Thanksgiving to have your first drink after 2 o' 213 00:10:58,580 --> 00:10:59,129 clock. 214 00:10:59,129 --> 00:11:01,230 Yeah, I didn't have mine till like 12 or 12.30. 215 00:11:01,230 --> 00:11:03,929 So I'm in there with usually I'm like, hey, it's 10.30. 216 00:11:03,929 --> 00:11:05,129 Why are we sober? 217 00:11:05,129 --> 00:11:09,129 Yeah, I think I'll do that next year because I was helping my daughter. 218 00:11:09,129 --> 00:11:12,929 She was doing a puzzle and she wanted me to help her out, which was really nice 219 00:11:12,929 --> 00:11:17,330 And I was drinking an energy drink and there's 16 ounce cans just like beer. 220 00:11:17,330 --> 00:11:22,730 Right. And she said, oh, mom, dad drinking a beer already. 221 00:11:22,730 --> 00:11:27,960 Shut up, you snitch. And I was waiting for like a negative reaction and there 222 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:28,529 was none. 223 00:11:28,529 --> 00:11:32,840 So I was like, oh, maybe, maybe I'm drinking the wrong thing. Next year, 224 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,730 Thanksgiving. 225 00:11:34,730 --> 00:11:38,929 We gonna start a little early in the Flex household. Until you do. 226 00:11:38,929 --> 00:11:43,830 And then she's like, what? Oh my God, Flex. 227 00:11:43,830 --> 00:11:47,629 That's right. I'll live with it. Yeah. I hope she calls you Flex when she's mad 228 00:11:47,629 --> 00:11:48,029 at you. 229 00:11:48,029 --> 00:11:53,429 She doesn't. No, she doesn't. Flex gets over here. With that name. 230 00:11:53,429 --> 00:11:55,830 It would make my day. Does she know it exists? Oh, yeah. 231 00:11:55,830 --> 00:11:58,830 Okay. And does she know people only call you Flex? 232 00:11:58,830 --> 00:12:03,830 She does not know that. I imagine there's people out here that don't actually 233 00:12:03,830 --> 00:12:04,629 know your real name. 234 00:12:04,629 --> 00:12:08,830 Is it on your gram profile? There is one post I have. 235 00:12:08,830 --> 00:12:15,730 Okay. Maybe two. Everyone's like going to their phones right now. 236 00:12:15,730 --> 00:12:21,830 Must find it. Most people just assume I'm Flex and Flexy. 237 00:12:21,830 --> 00:12:26,269 I do. All that other good stuff. Mr. A beer. Yeah, Mr. A beer. That's my 238 00:12:26,269 --> 00:12:26,730 favorite. 239 00:12:26,730 --> 00:12:32,110 Yeah, I should have asked you just Mrs. A beer. Call you Flex when she's mad at 240 00:12:32,110 --> 00:12:32,629 you. 241 00:12:32,629 --> 00:12:38,210 Oh, nice. But yeah, nothing like a little Thanksgiving to warm up the hate for 242 00:12:38,210 --> 00:12:39,230 your family ahead of time. 243 00:12:39,230 --> 00:12:42,830 So right. But it was also for the holiday season. 244 00:12:42,830 --> 00:12:46,529 It was our first instance to have some. Oh, no, we didn't have raw beef. 245 00:12:46,529 --> 00:12:50,929 Damn. Oh, cannibal sandwiches. Yeah, I was really excited for that. 246 00:12:50,929 --> 00:12:56,269 I just realized we didn't have it. Oh, man, I'm really looking forward to 247 00:12:56,269 --> 00:12:57,029 Christmas. 248 00:12:57,029 --> 00:13:03,629 You have to double down on your uncooked meat. That's so good. 249 00:13:03,629 --> 00:13:07,009 Sometimes when we grind it at the shop, I'll just take a little bit off the 250 00:13:07,009 --> 00:13:09,629 grinder and snack on it. 251 00:13:09,629 --> 00:13:13,269 Oh, yeah. But it's like you're grinding up like good like steaks, like good 252 00:13:13,269 --> 00:13:13,830 meat, right? 253 00:13:13,830 --> 00:13:18,230 When you're doing like denuded top round is what we use. 254 00:13:18,230 --> 00:13:20,570 Right. Because I know when you go to the grocery store and you get ground beef, 255 00:13:20,570 --> 00:13:21,629 usually it's like, you know, 256 00:13:21,629 --> 00:13:24,730 every other piece of the cow except for the ones you want. Oh, right. 257 00:13:24,730 --> 00:13:30,980 Yeah. This stuff is very controlled on what it is because you can't just give 258 00:13:30,980 --> 00:13:32,129 somebody raw beef. 259 00:13:32,129 --> 00:13:37,429 That's just fatty and black and anything. Yeah, gross. 260 00:13:37,429 --> 00:13:42,129 I'm still not down. I've taken too many food safety classes for this. We're 261 00:13:42,129 --> 00:13:45,230 very sanitary about it. 262 00:13:45,230 --> 00:13:48,830 So do you even put the at least but like citrus on it to kind of like give a 263 00:13:48,830 --> 00:13:50,029 little acid cook? 264 00:13:50,029 --> 00:13:54,429 No, it's just like that's the raw beef. Right. 265 00:13:54,429 --> 00:13:59,129 And then you get your rye bread and then a little salt and pepper. 266 00:13:59,129 --> 00:14:03,529 And then most people I don't because I'm not a huge fan, 267 00:14:03,529 --> 00:14:06,950 but they'll chop up onions and they'll be able to boil onions and toss some 268 00:14:06,950 --> 00:14:07,830 onions on it. 269 00:14:07,830 --> 00:14:11,789 I would need onions. I think if I got drunk enough to try this, I definitely 270 00:14:11,789 --> 00:14:12,230 need some money. 271 00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:16,230 You don't even need to be you will be shocked at how good it actually is. 272 00:14:16,230 --> 00:14:19,129 No sauce or anything. Like I feel like a little horseradish might be good on 273 00:14:19,129 --> 00:14:19,929 that. 274 00:14:19,929 --> 00:14:23,129 I could try that this year, but you don't even need a sauce. 275 00:14:23,129 --> 00:14:26,429 I guess when your meat is still bloody, you don't need it. 276 00:14:26,429 --> 00:14:30,629 It's like the it's like eating a medium rare steak, 277 00:14:30,629 --> 00:14:34,730 but just the rare part, which is the best part. 278 00:14:34,730 --> 00:14:38,029 That's what I think gives you the shits. That's what I associate it with. 279 00:14:38,029 --> 00:14:42,429 No. All right. Well, enjoy is don't knock it till you try it. 280 00:14:42,429 --> 00:14:44,830 That's all I'm saying. Well, and but you know, 281 00:14:44,830 --> 00:14:49,529 Rom Romney you and Davis have all the cannibal sandwiches you can get your 282 00:14:49,529 --> 00:14:50,629 hands on. 283 00:14:50,629 --> 00:14:54,130 I am going to have them all. I will. I will be on the sidelines. 284 00:14:54,130 --> 00:14:58,029 So yeah, we'll call you into the game. 285 00:14:58,029 --> 00:15:01,429 Let me watch though later on. Actually, I don't want to watch that. 286 00:15:01,429 --> 00:15:03,830 That's gross. What else is going? 287 00:15:03,830 --> 00:15:08,830 Oh, I had to mention this just for you classed it up went to a wine party. 288 00:15:08,830 --> 00:15:13,830 Nobody shocked. So fucking classy. 289 00:15:13,830 --> 00:15:17,730 Do you wear like a suit or like some special outfit when you go to these? 290 00:15:17,730 --> 00:15:21,830 No, you know, what's great is I'm most often like the most casually dressed 291 00:15:21,830 --> 00:15:22,529 person in the room. 292 00:15:22,529 --> 00:15:25,629 It'll just be like me and a Ninja Turtle t-shirt and shorts. 293 00:15:25,629 --> 00:15:29,929 That's really casual for a wine party.

Yes. Well, actually, so now I'm kind of embarrassed. 537 00:31:18,630 --> 00:31:21,130 I would buy two one liter bottles of Mountain Dew. 538 00:31:21,130 --> 00:31:23,930 Oh, sure. You got to kill one so you can spit the seeds. 539 00:31:23,930 --> 00:31:26,130 And then you drink the other while you're eating the seeds. 540 00:31:26,130 --> 00:31:29,529 Yeah, you're prepping for your game night on your drive home. 541 00:31:29,529 --> 00:31:32,750 Yeah, it's horrible. As you chug that Mountain Dew, which is also super healthy 542 00:31:32,829 --> 00:31:39,930 Probably a horrible routine, but man. It absolutely was. 543 00:31:39,930 --> 00:31:44,950 My wife likes to throw any study she finds in my face that shows that like 544 00:31:44,950 --> 00:31:47,529 being married helps men live longer. 545 00:31:47,529 --> 00:31:50,730 And I'm like, look, I believe you. 546 00:31:50,730 --> 00:31:55,529 We are fucking stupid.

Like no longer is Mr. 549 00:32:02,630 --> 00:32:07,730 A beer buying two one liters of Mountain Dew because Mrs. 550 00:32:07,730 --> 00:32:11,730 A beer would fucking murder him. 551 00:32:11,730 --> 00:32:16,730 Tell me I'm wrong.

Yeah, I've gone skydiving twice in 568 00:33:20,799 --> 00:33:22,029 my life. 569 00:33:22,029 --> 00:33:29,930 You know how many times I've gone since I got married? Zero! God dang it! 570 00:33:29,930 --> 00:33:35,329 That is brilliant. Yeah, to be fair, I would go again, but I just need a friend 571 00:33:35,329 --> 00:33:35,930 to go with. 572 00:33:35,930 --> 00:33:39,930 She will not go with me because once again, women are smarter. 573 00:33:39,930 --> 00:33:43,329 I was thinking of skydiving a couple of weeks ago and I thought, man, I would 574 00:33:43,329 --> 00:33:44,029 totally do it, 575 00:33:44,029 --> 00:33:49,710 but I need somebody to say you're doing it with me and then sign it up and then 576 00:33:49,710 --> 00:33:50,630 I would do it. 577 00:33:50,630 --> 00:33:54,329 I'll fly there. I will absolutely go with you. 578 00:33:54,329 --> 00:33:58,029 We have a skydiving place. It's like 30 minutes south of where I live. 579 00:33:58,029 --> 00:34:01,250 All right. Well, if you want to take a road trip here, we have one that's like 580 00:34:01,250 --> 00:34:02,029 near the beach. 581 00:34:02,029 --> 00:34:06,630 Like you jump out and it's like views of the water. It's terrifying. 582 00:34:06,630 --> 00:34:11,030 You don't go over the beach. It's near the beach. Oh, okay. 583 00:34:11,030 --> 00:34:14,760 Also, wouldn't that be better if your parachute didn't open like water instead 584 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:15,429 of splat? 585 00:34:15,429 --> 00:34:21,530 I don't know. I just think it's sharks. Sharks are not a plenty in this region. 586 00:34:21,530 --> 00:34:26,190 Okay. Especially like Atlantic. Maybe. They're also more south where it's a 587 00:34:26,190 --> 00:34:27,730 little bit warmer, I think. 588 00:34:27,730 --> 00:34:31,730 Oh, okay. It's like as soon as you get north. I'm not a shark expert. 589 00:34:31,730 --> 00:34:34,730 This is not a shark show. No, both accurate. 590 00:34:34,730 --> 00:34:39,530 But I think as soon as you get north of like LA, the water drastically drops in 591 00:34:39,530 --> 00:34:40,630 temperature. 592 00:34:40,630 --> 00:34:43,630 I guess you hit Ventura, Santa Barbara. It gets colder and colder the norther 593 00:34:43,630 --> 00:34:44,429 you go. 594 00:34:44,429 --> 00:34:48,530 And I'm pretty sure the sharks are more a fan of the warmer waters because you 595 00:34:48,530 --> 00:34:48,730 know, 596 00:34:48,730 --> 00:34:53,550 trust mammals. Yeah. Yeah, but I'll say it authoritatively. We'll just say it's 597 00:34:53,550 --> 00:34:53,730 true. 598 00:34:53,730 --> 00:34:57,980 Yeah, but if jerks like warm wasn't they had cold blood, wouldn't they be 599 00:34:57,980 --> 00:34:59,030 finding cold water? 600 00:34:59,030 --> 00:35:03,230 I don't know, but they can't regulate their temperature because they're not 601 00:35:03,230 --> 00:35:04,030 mammals, right? 602 00:35:04,030 --> 00:35:08,230 Don't they want cold water? No, they want warm water to regulate their body 603 00:35:08,230 --> 00:35:09,030 temperature. 604 00:35:09,030 --> 00:35:14,630 Not a scientist. No, I'm going to move on because there's a 50/50 shot that I'm 605 00:35:14,630 --> 00:35:16,429 wrong. 606 00:35:16,429 --> 00:35:20,230 Somebody who knows about sharks. Let us know. All right, let's do a little news 607 00:35:20,230 --> 00:35:20,630 for get out here. 608 00:35:20,630 --> 00:35:24,030 Thanksgiving Eve. We talked about this couple weeks ago. Thanksgiving Eve drink 609 00:35:24,030 --> 00:35:24,329 er. 610 00:35:24,329 --> 00:35:27,329 Drunksgiving is the like number one again. 611 00:35:27,329 --> 00:35:31,139 I forgot to tell you because it happened after the show. We call it Blackout 612 00:35:31,139 --> 00:35:32,130 Wednesday here. 613 00:35:32,130 --> 00:35:35,510 I don't know if they call it around the nation, but in Wisconsin, it is called 614 00:35:35,510 --> 00:35:36,630 Blackout Wednesday. 615 00:35:36,630 --> 00:35:39,730 I like that. Everything I see is like drunks giving and things, you know, 616 00:35:39,730 --> 00:35:41,929 Thanksgiving Eve, all that. 617 00:35:41,929 --> 00:35:45,030 It was even on the local news. Oh, no shit. 618 00:35:45,030 --> 00:35:49,030 Yes. Like I'm not. It's very Wisconsin. It is like a definitive name. 619 00:35:49,030 --> 00:35:53,230 Blackout Wednesday. I like that a lot. That's that's super Wisconsin. 620 00:35:53,230 --> 00:35:58,329 Well, apparently drunks giving slash Blackout Wednesday was not so great this 621 00:35:58,329 --> 00:35:59,030 year. 622 00:35:59,030 --> 00:36:04,230 Draft volumes declined for the third straight year. 623 00:36:04,230 --> 00:36:08,130 This year, they were down 1.8 percent compared to the same night last year, 624 00:36:08,130 --> 00:36:11,010 which has long been regarded as one of the biggest party nights of the year, 625 00:36:11,010 --> 00:36:12,730 according to Beer Board. 626 00:36:12,730 --> 00:36:16,130 In 2023, draft volumes declined two and a half percent relative to the year 627 00:36:16,130 --> 00:36:17,130 before in 2022, 628 00:36:17,130 --> 00:36:22,630 which saw a sizable fall of 17 percent compared to 2021. 629 00:36:22,630 --> 00:36:26,030 So it seems like 2021 is people are allowed to go back to the bar. 630 00:36:26,030 --> 00:36:30,429 It was like, boom, let's drink a bunch. And then it's gone down since so well, 631 00:36:30,429 --> 00:36:31,429 that makes sense. 632 00:36:31,429 --> 00:36:37,329 Yeah. Number one brand on draft for the second consecutive year in a row. 633 00:36:37,329 --> 00:36:43,730 Any guesses? You'd be very disappointed. I'm going to say it's either like. 634 00:36:43,730 --> 00:36:50,230 Bud Light or Corona and then Modelo would be like a number three. 635 00:36:50,230 --> 00:36:56,030 All right. Number two is Miller Light. Miller Light was number two. 636 00:36:56,030 --> 00:37:01,630 Not very great. No. Number one, though, Mikultra. 637 00:37:01,630 --> 00:37:07,230 Really interesting, but it's not very blackout when you're drinking fucking two 638 00:37:07,230 --> 00:37:09,030 percent beer. 639 00:37:09,030 --> 00:37:13,530 It's it's four. That's like three and a half. 640 00:37:13,530 --> 00:37:17,929 I thought it was just regular like four, four, two. I don't have my full setup. 641 00:37:17,929 --> 00:37:21,730 Hey, Siri, what is the ABV of Michelob Ultra? 642 00:37:21,730 --> 00:37:25,840 Look at you. Four point to Belgium. Yeah. Right.

Son of a bitch. 645 00:37:30,730 --> 00:37:35,730 Almost like I know something about beer. One or two things. 646 00:37:35,730 --> 00:37:39,530 Stoli, you ever drink any Stoli back in the day? Back in the day. 647 00:37:39,530 --> 00:37:43,030 Yeah. Stoli raspberry. Oh, that sounds extra horrible. 648 00:37:43,030 --> 00:37:47,630 Yeah. I hate raspberry, especially fake raspberry. Oh, I love raspberry. 649 00:37:47,630 --> 00:37:51,619 I think because I drank shitty raspberry flavored vodka and threw it up all 650 00:37:51,619 --> 00:37:52,730 over the place. 651 00:37:52,730 --> 00:37:56,130 I've done that multiple times. And I just can't anymore. 652 00:37:56,130 --> 00:38:01,719 It was usually always like Smirnoff strawberry or raspberry or the worst was 653 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,730 green apple. 654 00:38:03,730 --> 00:38:07,230 You know, Smirnoff green apple. You're you're puking that night. 655 00:38:07,230 --> 00:38:14,530 Oh, I did a lot of that in high school. I just had a apostrophe. 656 00:38:14,530 --> 00:38:21,030 I think that the raspberry vodka tastes a lot like Flintstone vitamins. 657 00:38:21,030 --> 00:38:25,530 Hmm. I bet that's why you like it. Maybe. Hmm. 658 00:38:25,530 --> 00:38:33,269 Just feel like it tastes good mixing with juice. Juice. Juice. Give me the 659 00:38:33,269 --> 00:38:34,530 juice. 660 00:38:34,530 --> 00:38:41,230 Anyway, Stoli has filed for bankruptcy. So see what happens there. 661 00:38:41,230 --> 00:38:45,429 The group filed last week in Texas listing more than $100 million in assets 662 00:38:45,429 --> 00:38:48,530 and between $50 million and $100 million in liabilities. 663 00:38:48,530 --> 00:38:51,929 Their CEO, Chris Caldwell, said in a statement in the filing 664 00:38:51,929 --> 00:38:56,429 that increased financial flexibility to accelerate investments 665 00:38:56,429 --> 00:39:00,730 and position Stoli for long-term stability was necessary. 666 00:39:00,730 --> 00:39:04,639 Caldwell added that the group has been targeted by the Russian Federation since 667 00:39:04,639 --> 00:39:06,030 its founding 25 years ago. 668 00:39:06,030 --> 00:39:09,429 A cyber attack has also disrupted global operations, 669 00:39:09,429 --> 00:39:14,429 forcing the company to operate manually for the past two months. 670 00:39:14,429 --> 00:39:18,329 That can't be true. That can't be true. It's like straight out of a movie. 671 00:39:18,329 --> 00:39:23,429 That's nuts. D's nuts. Maybe believe it. I don't know.

First of all, fuck you for your animal cruelty. 686 00:40:33,730 --> 00:40:37,829 On 12/7/2024 at approximately 9.09 PM, 687 00:40:37,829 --> 00:40:41,230 officers with the Murray Police Department responded to a local alcohol 688 00:40:41,230 --> 00:40:41,929 establishment 689 00:40:41,929 --> 00:40:46,329 in reference to an unruly individual later identified as Jonathan Mason, 690 00:40:46,329 --> 00:40:50,230 age 39 of Murray, Kentucky, who had been asked to leave, 691 00:40:50,230 --> 00:40:54,530 but was refusing to do so. Upon officer arrival, 692 00:40:54,530 --> 00:40:59,530 Mason was outside the business and was manifestively under the influence of 693 00:40:59,530 --> 00:41:00,530 alcohol. 694 00:41:00,530 --> 00:41:03,730 Mason had ridden a mule to the establishment 695 00:41:03,730 --> 00:41:07,530 and he refused to stop when ordered to by the officer. 696 00:41:07,530 --> 00:41:14,329 Sir, we need you to stop that mule right now!
