- 0:05Speaker 1: the grab a gun. What you found out about it?
- 0:08Speaker 2: Oh, it's it's like a middleman. It's unnecessary, right. You
- 0:12Speaker 2: you order it on the website, and then the website
- 0:16Speaker 2: coordinates with a local dealer. They direct you to a
- 0:19Speaker 2: gun store, and then you go to the gun store
- 0:21Speaker 2: here to and you still have to go through the
- 0:25Speaker 2: background check and everything like that. So it's unnecessary. You
- 0:29Speaker 2: just go to the dealer. Yeah, they'll order it for you.
- 0:32Speaker 1: Yeah. So okay, So there that's how that's how that works. Now.

- 1:19Speaker 1: little cocktail. It's several cocktails in a big, big ball. Okay.
- 1:24Speaker 1: And uh and so I need help figuring out which
- 1:26Speaker 1: one she said. She just sent me an email saying, now,
- 1:30Speaker 1: at least you can get chocolate teas, okay. Uh. And
- 1:35Speaker 1: at Smith's the grocery store, you can get the strawberry rita,
- 1:39Speaker 1: the tequila rita, the berry cherry, the limeaid, the Grape's
- 1:43Speaker 1: gone wild, the chili mango, and for the holidays, peppermint bark.
- 1:50Speaker 1: That doesn't sound good, doesn't know.
- 1:52Speaker 3: No, Now you've had buzzballs before.
- 1:55Speaker 4: I have.
- 1:56Speaker 1: I've had the chocolate okay. Yeah. So the one I've
- 1:59Speaker 1: had is called Chalco Chiller. Yeah, and I liked that one.
- 2:03Speaker 1: It was tasty. Now, oh, here's chocolate teas. Decadent, creamy
- 2:07Speaker 1: and sweet. It says teas as in a s e.
- 2:12Speaker 1: I'm going to tease you. Uh yeah, so I'm but
- 2:16Speaker 1: this is quite a I wonder what chili mango is.
- 2:19Speaker 1: This is this is quite a Let's see what it says.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Is it just mango or spicy sweetened things? So it's
- 2:24Speaker 1: got a little chili in there too. Yeah.
- 2:27Speaker 4: Well, she's picking these up at the Smiths's there, the
- 2:29Speaker 4: big buzzballs. Yeah, there's the discount liquor store that probably
- 2:35Speaker 4: has more specialty stuff.
- 2:36Speaker 1: She well, she said she went to both. Oh all right,
- 2:40Speaker 1: she looked at both.
- 2:41Speaker 2: Sketchy Blake says that the correct answer is one of each.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Yeah, well it should be. I think that's a little much.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Are they? Now these are the big ones, yes, because
- 2:51Speaker 2: Lang is saying it's one point seventy five liter.
- 2:54Speaker 3: But okay, is that.
- 2:57Speaker 1: That doesn't seem that big?
- 2:58Speaker 3: I mean, are you drinking those balls for the taste?
- 3:01Speaker 4: I I think the point is they're really strong and
- 3:04Speaker 4: you can slurp them down quick, right.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but I don't want to slurp down something
- 3:09Speaker 1: that doesn't taste good. And I've tried a couple of
- 3:11Speaker 1: them that don't taste very good.
- 3:13Speaker 4: Uh, the tequila rita one I like a lot. So
- 3:17Speaker 4: you've tried these, yeah, of course, Yeah, they're great, like
- 3:20Speaker 4: but I they're not better than other cocktails out there.
- 3:25Speaker 3: Well, no, a stiff drink in it?
- 3:27Speaker 4: You know.
- 3:27Speaker 1: It's because they're they're easy to zeal down.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Texter says, I like the watermelon and the
- 3:35Speaker 2: pina colada.
- 3:36Speaker 1: One uh not offered. No, no, the list she sent me,
- 3:39Speaker 1: it's not on the list. On the list. Uh, maybe
- 3:43Speaker 1: I'll go with chili mango just to see what the
- 3:46Speaker 1: hell I like it. Okay, that's very nice of you,
- 3:49Speaker 1: Karen to do that. And I insist on reimbursing you. Yeah,
- 3:55Speaker 1: however much that is, uh huh, please, I insist on
- 3:58Speaker 1: reimbursing you. I insist on it.
- 4:02Speaker 3: Okay, I need to go out to Wendover again.
- 4:04Speaker 1: It's been a minute. I haven't been to Wendover in years, years,
- 4:07Speaker 1: and the last time I was in Wendover was with you.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Really that might be the last time I was there
- 4:13Speaker 1: as well. Uh, well, you don't want to know, no, no, no,
- 4:17Speaker 1: Well it involved moving a body, so you don't really
- 4:21Speaker 1: want to know.
- 4:22Speaker 3: Wendover is known for that.
- 4:24Speaker 1: So I'm supposed to go to Wendover with my son. Okay,
- 4:29Speaker 1: I promised to go to Wendover with with Gabriel. What
- 4:32Speaker 1: do you want to do? Little tables or he's he
- 4:35Speaker 1: loves playing craps really yeah, he loves doing it and
- 4:39Speaker 1: I I watched him do it once. Yeah, at a
- 4:41Speaker 1: table in where I guess we were in Las Vegas, Okay, Yeah,
- 4:45Speaker 1: and I watched him play it's it's confused.
- 4:49Speaker 4: It is.
- 4:49Speaker 3: I don't understand it, but it looks fascinating.
- 4:53Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:53Speaker 4: The last time, the last few times I've been out
- 4:56Speaker 4: windover at the craps table by himself, was this like
- 5:00Speaker 4: a cowboy looking fella, you know, like very well dressed
- 5:04Speaker 4: ranch style, And he had a big log book and
- 5:08Speaker 4: he just kept, I'm assuming, writing down whatever the dice
- 5:12Speaker 4: roll was that he would throw in the log book.
- 5:16Speaker 4: And he did that every single time I was at
- 5:18Speaker 4: There's like, you know, three to four months between my
- 5:21Speaker 4: visits out there when I was really at it, But
- 5:25Speaker 4: he was there without fail, just writing down what he
- 5:29Speaker 4: was rolling dice on. I don't understand what he's trying
- 5:32Speaker 4: to get out of that, or.
- 5:34Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he just likes to look at it fondly
- 5:36Speaker 1: when he's not there. Sure, he just goes through the
- 5:38Speaker 1: pages and looks at them.
- 5:39Speaker 3: Look, man, I remember that. I get it. I love
- 5:42Speaker 3: playing the game.
- 5:42Speaker 4: I love doing low steaks, five dollars hands of blackjack.
- 5:46Speaker 4: It's just free booze, hanging out for a couple hours
- 5:49Speaker 4: and if you're playing well you won't lose money is
- 5:54Speaker 4: just kind of a hangout time.
