Speaker 1: Last month, the Council agreed with the BTU board's recommendation

4:24
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's where.
4:25
Speaker 2: It goes, all right.
4:26
Speaker 6: So we were talking about this, and again I think
4:28
Speaker 6: I told you it was Peter Peter Diamantes.
4:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, is that his name.
4:32
Speaker 1: I just looked him up. I did see this headline.
4:36
Speaker 6: This is I read this and again, like I'm not
4:39
Speaker 6: I just got chills. So he's making a lot of
4:44
Speaker 6: waves because I guess someone had asked him sometimes, Hey, okay,
4:47
Speaker 6: what do you think the future holds when it comes
4:51
Speaker 6: to privacy concerns?
4:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, surveillance, society, nothing.
4:55
Speaker 2: And what he said was quote this was his response.
5:00
Speaker 2: Humans behave better when they're being watched. Not wrong. Yeah,
5:06
Speaker 2: he's not very wrong. He's he's out of line. I
5:10
Speaker 2: don't know he's wrong.
5:12
Speaker 1: He I mean, he's not saying he's not saying that
5:15
Speaker 1: everybody should be watched. He believes that you know, but
5:18
Speaker 1: he didn't say that. He just said people act better
5:20
Speaker 1: when they're watched.
5:21
Speaker 6: In a recent post, Peter predicted a future where cameras,
5:24
Speaker 6: drone satellite smartphones, and self driving cars would create what
5:28
Speaker 6: he calls a censor ecosystem, making it impossible for anyone
5:34
Speaker 6: to hide.
5:35
Speaker 2: He says, if you're there.
5:36
Speaker 6: We're already what were you talking about in the future,
5:39
Speaker 6: that's it's it's right now.
5:42
Speaker 2: It's right now.
5:43
Speaker 5: He says.
5:44
Speaker 2: Future generations will just assume that there's no such thing
5:49
Speaker 2: as privacy.
5:50
Speaker 1: I assume that now.
5:51
Speaker 6: That there's just an assumption that there is nothing you
5:53
Speaker 6: say that is off the record, there is nothing you
5:57
Speaker 6: do that will be off the record. Says that if
6:00
Speaker 6: you really care about your privacy, you just better live
6:04
Speaker 6: with some integrity.
6:07
Speaker 2: Obviously, there is some pushback over.
6:11
Speaker 6: This, but again I don't know that he's He's not
6:14
Speaker 6: wrong incorrect, it's just the concept is. I don't think
6:18
Speaker 6: you can say it out loud because, like, especially if
6:21
Speaker 6: you're the guy that's the dude who is the.
6:23
Speaker 1: Tech guru man tech guy founded the X Prize Foundation.
6:27
Speaker 2: Does it bother anyone?
6:30
Speaker 6: I mean, because that's the other side of it is
6:32
Speaker 6: that I think everyone, including him, is betting doesn't bother anyone, Hey.
6:39
Speaker 7: It bothers me in certain scenarios. You shouldn't be able
6:43
Speaker 7: to record me if I'm trying to go to the bathroom.
6:46
Speaker 2: Which is a limitation. It exists, but it's not going
6:49
Speaker 2: to be I wouldn't. There's I mean, there's the questions
6:53
Speaker 2: like it's wrong.
6:54
Speaker 1: I think about it all the time because on occasion,
6:57
Speaker 1: I go a little bit of dale gribble. You know,
7:01
Speaker 1: it happens to me. So I've got it's not a custom,
7:05
Speaker 1: but I do have a tin boil hat. And so
7:07
Speaker 1: I think about it. And then I have friends that
7:09
Speaker 1: are going, it's already too late. Everything you do is
7:12
Speaker 1: already collected and tabulated.
7:14
Speaker 6: That's the thing that I I kind of hit the
7:16
Speaker 6: wall on when I start thinking about this stuff, and
7:19
Speaker 6: it's like, well, yeah, that would have been something to
7:21
Speaker 6: talk about twenty years ago, but today you're already in man,
7:24
Speaker 6: they already have everything they would want on you, not
7:27
Speaker 6: to say they would want anything other than just like
7:29
Speaker 6: what I like to buy, what I like to google,
7:32
Speaker 6: things like that. And so a lot of people are saying, yeah,
7:35
Speaker 6: they're just people, just aren't going to care about privacy.
7:37
Speaker 1: I think that. I think it is warned society down
7:41
Speaker 1: and people have gotten so used to it that they
7:43
Speaker 1: don't question where they've given up crazy And there's good
7:46
Speaker 1: things that come And there's so many.
7:48
Speaker 6: Good things everything that we do, you know, like the
7:51
Speaker 6: phones all that, those are great things.
7:53
Speaker 1: As a law enforcement tool, being able to you know,
7:56
Speaker 1: help solve crimes or stop crimes.
7:57
Speaker 6: Yeah, because you have access to Back in the eighties
8:01
Speaker 6: when you had privacy, you know, or somewhere id like
8:04
Speaker 6: Ted Bundy could run across the country and kill like
8:06
Speaker 6: a whole bunch of people. Police officers couldn't talk to
8:09
Speaker 6: each other, they couldn't figure.
8:10
Speaker 2: Out who was who. Now not a problem.
8:13
Speaker 6: Someone gets out of jail and in Washington they can
8:16
Speaker 6: find him anywhere.
8:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll show up on a camera someplace, show up on.
8:19
Speaker 6: A camera, or show up in a car, or swipe
8:21
Speaker 6: a card or whatever.
8:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't just disappear these days unless you're It
8:25
Speaker 1: takes a lot of resources to completely disappear.
8:28
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Like I've looked into it. That's my immediate question.
8:34
Speaker 2: How much money does it take?
8:35
Speaker 1: The I don't know, is there not there yet?
8:38
Speaker 2: There a dollar amount that exists out I'm sure, I mean,
8:41
Speaker 2: I know breaking bad.
8:42
Speaker 6: There is that like in the last seasons, like hey,
8:44
Speaker 6: you give me one hundred thousand dollars or two hundred
8:46
Speaker 6: thousand dollars or whatever it is, I will make you
8:49
Speaker 6: you can start a new life.
8:51
Speaker 2: Is that the number?
8:52
Speaker 1: Is it? Really? That could be purely.
8:54
Speaker 2: Someone is I feel like there is someone who has
8:56
Speaker 2: probably looked into this.

Speaker 6: I don't even have this in front of you, Riley,
9:19
Speaker 6: you might still the do you remember that? Do you
9:21
Speaker 6: still have the uh, what's the strangest thing your dog
9:24
Speaker 6: has ever eaten?
9:25
Speaker 2: Piece? I'm not sure because I saw that this is
9:30
Speaker 2: weeks ago.
9:31
Speaker 6: I saw that, and I thought to myself, man, we
9:34
Speaker 6: need to talk about that because I feel like a
9:35
Speaker 6: lot of people would have something interesting to say, and
9:38
Speaker 6: that's great, and please, please please please weigh in. I
9:42
Speaker 6: would love to hear from some of you guys, what
9:44
Speaker 6: the strangest thing your dog has ever destroyed was nine
9:49
Speaker 6: seven nine six nine, sixteen twenty. The reason I'm bringing
9:53
Speaker 6: it up today is I sent you emailing about something
9:56
Speaker 6: and you're like, man, no one.
9:58
Speaker 2: Is going to be able to come close to the list.
10:01
Speaker 2: So the story that I have about a Bassett.
10:03
Speaker 1: House, I had a Basset hound named named Flash, which
10:06
Speaker 1: you did right. I got the basset hound probably around
10:11
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight after my first dog passed away. I
10:14
Speaker 1: couldn't have dogs growing up because dogs and landscapes didn't miss,
10:18
Speaker 1: so I never had a dog growing up. So my
10:20
Speaker 1: first dog was actually willed to me by my grandfather,
10:23
Speaker 1: and he was insane. He was a border Collie and
10:26
Speaker 1: he was insane. So after the border Collie passed away,
10:30
Speaker 1: which was a tragic story in and of itself, to him,
10:33
Speaker 1: took him back to the family cemetery, buried him next
10:35
Speaker 1: to my grandfather. I said, I have to go back
10:38
Speaker 1: to the house, an empty house, and I can't do it.
10:41
Speaker 1: But I want the exact opposite.
10:42
Speaker 2: Ow Okay, So you were like, I need to.
10:45
Speaker 1: I need to have a dog and have a dog,
10:46
Speaker 1: but I can't go look at those empty bowls. Yeah,
10:48
Speaker 1: I want the exact opposite of a border Collige, So
10:51
Speaker 1: I got a Basset hound and as.
10:54
Speaker 2: The opposite of borders as you do.
10:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, the her pre dominant name among basket
11:01
Speaker 1: owns at that point in time was Flash, thanks to
11:04
Speaker 1: the Dukes of Hazard. Yeah, of course it was either
11:06
Speaker 1: that or Fred, the other basket house, which was featured
11:09
Speaker 1: on Smoking in the Bandit and one of my early
11:12
Speaker 1: television memory shows that probably my first favorite TV show
11:15
Speaker 1: was Emergency starring Randolph Mantooth by the way, great actors
11:21
Speaker 1: that had a firehouse dog that was a Bassett named
11:25
Speaker 1: Fred as well. So it was either Fred or Flash.
11:27
Speaker 1: But we digress, we digress.
11:29
Speaker 6: So you got Flash. He's supposed to be the opposite
11:31
Speaker 6: of a high energy crazy.
11:32
Speaker 1: He was at least I could run him down on
11:34
Speaker 1: foot if I meant it to right. So, no, you
11:37
Speaker 1: can't do it bassat out right. So Flash eight and
11:41
Speaker 1: I will try to remember this list over his lifetime.
11:44
Speaker 1: There were socks, pantyhose, diapers, a pan of brownies that
11:50
Speaker 1: was sitting on my kitchen countertop that I have no
11:52
Speaker 1: idea how he got to Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, a
11:54
Speaker 1: metal tube of triple antibiotic, a tube of basic baking
11:58
Speaker 1: soda and peroxide, toothpaste, a bottle of a leave. Yeah.
12:03
Speaker 1: And I got to the point with Flash that I
12:05
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, dude, every time you do this,
12:08
Speaker 1: I take you to the vet and it cost me
12:10
Speaker 1: six hundred bucks because bassot owns. You know, from a
12:14
Speaker 1: physiological standpoint, they are a big dog crammed into a
12:17
Speaker 1: small dog potty. They are so they can have some
12:20
Speaker 1: gas throw intestinal issues.
12:21
Speaker 2: They have a lot of issues. I think so.
12:23
Speaker 1: And I finally said, look, dude, I've trained you, I've
12:27
Speaker 1: taught you right from wrong. You're an older dog. Now
12:30
Speaker 1: if you are making these choices, you make them on
12:32
Speaker 1: you never had an issue, never had Flash lived to
12:35
Speaker 1: be fifteen years old.
12:37
Speaker 2: Wow.
12:38
Speaker 1: And that's for an and perhaps one of the funniest
12:42
Speaker 1: moments in my life.
12:43
Speaker 2: Yeah.
12:43
Speaker 1: And I hesitate, I hesitate to tell this story, but
12:48
Speaker 1: I feel like I have to. So the first house
12:51
Speaker 1: that my wife and I had here in town, our
12:53
Speaker 1: next door neighbors were little people, and one of them
12:57
Speaker 1: taught school here forever. Mac mackenzie.
13:01
Speaker 2: I know, Mac McKinney, great family, love.
13:03
Speaker 1: Them to enjoy being their neighbors.
13:04
Speaker 2: Yeah.
13:05
Speaker 1: And so the first day we are early in the
13:09
Speaker 1: first week we moved in, doorbell rings. I go to
13:12
Speaker 1: open the door and it's the McKenzie family and I'm
13:14
Speaker 1: holding flashback and they're They're holding a panful of cookies
13:18
Speaker 1: and I and this is what they said, Oh my god,
13:22
Speaker 1: look at him. He looks just like us. And I
13:25
Speaker 1: was like, can I laugh, Please let me laugh, because
13:28
Speaker 1: that's funny, that's so funny. That's my that's my horrible
13:32
Speaker 1: flash story. Yeah, flash eight, all of them flashes an amateur. Yeah,
13:35
Speaker 1: oh really, oh really?
13:37
Speaker 6: Do tell Tiger Lily is the uh God, I could
13:42
Speaker 6: use Tiger, I could use Dylan either, one man. Tiger
13:45
Speaker 6: Lily is what I will stick with. And I'll just
13:47
Speaker 6: go through a few of the greatest hits. Five remote
13:50
Speaker 6: controls okay, uh four full textbooks from graduate studies, from
13:56
Speaker 6: my wife, a coffee table, a full cow a coffee.
14:01
Speaker 1: And then I have to describe Tiger Lily is not
14:03
Speaker 1: a dainty little Tiger Lily is not.
14:05
Speaker 6: She's a it probably about forty pounds, a little kind
14:09
Speaker 6: of little mix of everything. They say, she's got massif
14:12
Speaker 6: in her She doesn't look like a massive smallest mast
14:15
Speaker 6: if I've ever seen this dog ate keys. Wow, she
14:20
Speaker 6: ate everything in the house. And then one day stopped
14:28
Speaker 6: just quit about year four, which is way later than
14:31
Speaker 6: I would have liked her to stop. But yeah, just
14:34
Speaker 6: just kind of just got over it, didn't. That's it
14:37
Speaker 6: all good now? Like I Dylan ate, Dylan would eat
14:42
Speaker 6: trash would eat I mean bread. You couldn't leave bread
14:45
Speaker 6: out because that would be gone eight six months worth
14:48
Speaker 6: of heartworm preventative in one sitting.
14:50
Speaker 1: Wow.
14:51
Speaker 2: I thought that was going to be the end of Dylan.
14:54
Speaker 2: It wasn't.
14:54
Speaker 6: The end of Dylan just kept right on going. Man
14:57
Speaker 6: stomach of steel, just like I'd like, just didn't Matt

Speaker 6: and trash so much trash I had. I still have
15:03
Speaker 6: a custom trash can that I had someone made for
15:06
Speaker 6: me because it was the only thing it would keep dying.
15:09
Speaker 1: It was bear proof.

15:18
Speaker 1: of Hank his cata hula.
15:21

15:48
Speaker 1: few scraps. And yes, the angie ing slipped off down

Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm will welch. A
16:49
Speaker 1: special meeting of the Brian City Council last Friday was
16:52
Speaker 1: moved from a conference room to council chambers due to
16:55
Speaker 1: the appearance of fifteen BTU solar customers. Those customers are
16:59
Speaker 1: among eight nd and fourteen affected by council decision made
17:02
Speaker 1: last month agreeing with a b TOU board recommendation to
17:05
Speaker 1: pay less to solar customers who sold their excess electricity
17:09
Speaker 1: to BTU. Four council members attending last friday's meeting agreed

Speaker 1: to modify last month's decision. Paul Torres was among council
17:17
Speaker 1: members who responded to thirty minutes of remarks from the
17:20
Speaker 1: solar customers with this motion.
17:22
Speaker 8: I believe that we have an opportunity to come up
17:24
Speaker 8: with a fair option that works for all the residents,
17:27
Speaker 8: hopefully taking in consideration concerns of our business in the community.
17:31
Speaker 8: It may not be the perfect solution for everyone, but
17:34
Speaker 8: I believe it is a reasonable step towards finding a
17:36
Speaker 8: common ground.
17:37
Speaker 1: The b TOU board's recommendation that was approved by the
17:40
Speaker 1: council last month was based on solar customers not sharing

18:29
Speaker 3: seven million dollars. The new owners required to pay almost
18:32
Speaker 3: fifteen million dollars in liew of property taxes over a
18:35
Speaker 3: ten year period, and the new owner will also pay

Speaker 6: shred them, Yeah, shred them.

24:54
Speaker 1: Just looking for electrical shorts. I'm sure trying to protect

Speaker 6: a door a door. It was a so what they
25:04
Speaker 6: had was it was a similar to what you were saying.
25:07
Speaker 6: An Australian shepherd, some German shepherd hybrid. They're all the
25:10
Speaker 6: rage and they were hanging out with their friend and
25:14
Speaker 6: you know, dog was with him and they're like, oh,

Speaker 6: There's a disaster. But yeah, doors Walls's not shocked. What
25:29
Speaker 6: else we got, Baba said?
25:30
Speaker 1: My brother in law's Australian shepherd ate an entire bag
25:33
Speaker 1: of yum yums. Not talking about the candy, talking about
25:36
Speaker 1: the fish bait pre rigged with hooks. The dogs survived
25:40
Speaker 1: and continued eating everything they could. What on earth Pam.
25:45
Speaker 1: Pam's son had a Corgi and while they were work
25:47
Speaker 1: it climbed upon the sofa. Apparently this is one of
25:49
Speaker 1: those fancy sofas massage sofas has a massage accidentally turned
25:53
Speaker 1: on the massager right and ate the sofas.
25:56
Speaker 2: They thought it was a living bean.
25:58
Speaker 1: It was a pile of stuffing. When they got home,
26:02
Speaker 1: it was a brand new sofa. Oh, I don't think
26:06
Speaker 1: that one's covered under warny.
26:07
Speaker 2: That's absolutely team no. Trust me, they've they've seen it,
26:13
Speaker 2: they've heard it before. They have heard it before. Uh
26:18
Speaker 2: we were talking or I was reading this thing. I
26:20
Speaker 2: think you sent it to me as well.
26:22
Speaker 6: It's an article that AI picked up and I don't
26:27
Speaker 6: know if it's it. That's why is because people started
26:30
Speaker 6: punching into chat GPT because it's.
26:33
Speaker 2: The fourth of July. What do I cook?
26:36
Speaker 6: And then all of a sudden AI decides to feed
26:38
Speaker 6: everyone this exact same article from Bloomberg about the things
26:42
Speaker 6: you should never grill.
26:44
Speaker 2: And I can.
26:44
Speaker 6: See reading it and thinking this is advice. But I
26:47
Speaker 6: don't know enough.
26:48
Speaker 2: But he does. Will Welch is a real king.
26:52
Speaker 1: I don't. First of all, I don't want. I will
26:55
Speaker 1: go to uh the internet on occasion, yeah, to look
26:59
Speaker 1: for very ideas or things like that, certain small things
27:03
Speaker 1: that I want to verify yeah, but I'm not gonna
27:06
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna listen to the AI or to the
27:08
Speaker 1: Internet in general when somebody tells me what I can
27:12
Speaker 1: and can't grill, especially when the number one thing on
27:15
Speaker 1: their list is burgers.
27:17
Speaker 2: Why is burgers on the top of this list?
27:21
Speaker 1: So their argument is that the fat drips down the
27:24
Speaker 1: outside doesn't get caramelized all the flavor. No, no, what
27:29
Speaker 1: are you talking about. If you can't create a juicy
27:32
Speaker 1: burger on a grill, just hang it up.
27:35
Speaker 6: You're supposed to use a plancha, a flat ire, Yeah,
27:38
Speaker 6: the flat iron, then the right and then put that
27:42
Speaker 6: on the grill and then the burgers on that.
27:44
Speaker 1: Either that or you're you know, I've got the flat
27:46
Speaker 1: top out there and then makes a fine burger. Yeah,
27:49
Speaker 1: but don't harsh me when it comes to that.
27:52
Speaker 6: Why like a burger a grilled Hey, I'm sorry, I
27:57
Speaker 6: can cook a burger, not on a grill.
28:00
Speaker 1: And that's not barbecue taste. That's grilling. A lot of
28:03
Speaker 1: people who aren't into the outdoor cooking game. Yeah, well,
28:06
Speaker 1: confuse conflagrate if you will, the grilling and the barbecuing.
28:10
Speaker 1: They're too totally. Number two on the list is filet mignon.
28:15
Speaker 3: Really.
28:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, they say it doesn't have enough fat for the grill,
28:19
Speaker 1: and they're usually pretty thick. It is a very lean cut,
28:22
Speaker 1: and you have to be you have to be concerned
28:24
Speaker 1: when you're cooking the lean cuts that they don't dry out. Yeah,
28:27
Speaker 1: here's my thing on fleet mignon and steak and beef
28:30
Speaker 1: in general.
28:30
Speaker 2: Yeah.
28:31
Speaker 1: I want it cooked just enough that a good aggie
28:33
Speaker 1: vet has a chance to revive it. Dang right, So
28:36
Speaker 1: I don't care about you know, sear that outside on
28:40
Speaker 1: the inside.
28:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want it. That's not a concern.
28:44
Speaker 1: Well, you might know, cook it all the way through.
28:46
Speaker 2: Good?
28:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, good, Yeah, that's.
28:48
Speaker 2: Why that's why I'm eating it. Pizza Okay, this is froofy. Yeah,
28:55
Speaker 2: why would you look?
28:56
Speaker 1: There are some idiots that will take a frozen totinos
28:59
Speaker 1: or whatever and slap but on a grill and expect
29:01
Speaker 1: it to be good. Now, you can use the pizza
29:04
Speaker 1: stones or whatnot.
29:05
Speaker 2: Right.
29:06
Speaker 1: The revelation to me was my buddy's outdoor pizza and
29:09
Speaker 1: the portable thing that he brought on the on the
29:12
Speaker 1: river trip I went on. I got to get one
29:14
Speaker 1: of those. It was cranking out grape pies. Like every
29:17
Speaker 1: five minutes. Yeah, it's fantastic.
29:20
Speaker 6: There are there are options. Now, there was a place
29:22
Speaker 6: around here that used to do grilled pizzas. It like
29:26
Speaker 6: they would they actually had a grill and they would
29:29
Speaker 6: shove the pizza in it and and would fire grill it.
29:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it did seem to work well.
29:35
Speaker 1: Wood fired pizza ovens a different thing.
29:37
Speaker 6: That's different than a grill, but they yeah, either way,
29:40
Speaker 6: it's uh, yeah, it is something that you could they say.
29:44
Speaker 1: They say most types of fish you shouldn't grill because
29:49
Speaker 1: you know, you can overgrill a fish real quick, and
29:52
Speaker 1: you can get a fish too smoky real quick. But
29:53
Speaker 1: if you know what you're doing, by all means.
29:55
Speaker 2: You shouldn't grill.
29:56
Speaker 6: Yeah.
29:57
Speaker 2: I don't.
29:57
Speaker 5: I don't.
29:57
Speaker 2: I don't like that.
29:58
Speaker 1: They say port chops again, you lose all the delicious fat.
30:02
Speaker 1: Better in a skillet, better on a flat top. Last
30:04
Speaker 1: port chops I cooked about a week ago flat top.
30:07
Speaker 1: They were fantastic shish kebobs. They say that they're okay
30:12
Speaker 1: on the grill, but vegetables tend to cook faster than
30:16
Speaker 1: the meat, so you want to separate your vegetables from
30:19
Speaker 1: the meat and cook them separately. I mean, and then
30:22
Speaker 1: you don't get the flavors from the vegetable on your carne.
30:25
Speaker 2: I'll be reals or trash.
30:27
Speaker 1: They can Why would you they can't be?
30:30
Speaker 2: It depends on what you put on them. I mean
30:32
Speaker 2: I get shrimp people, Do I get that shrimp on
30:35
Speaker 2: the barbie?
30:35
Speaker 1: Yeah?
30:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but that's not anything else. So they're just.
30:40
Speaker 1: Saying melty cheeses like you know, of course, you don't
30:44
Speaker 1: slap some cheese on the grill. You can cold smoked cheese.
30:47
Speaker 2: Is that what they're saying you should? Okay, this is.
30:52
Speaker 1: Absolutely Look, if you want a krill, just go out
30:55
Speaker 1: and learn how to do it, make some mistakes and
30:57
Speaker 1: learn from all.
30:58
Speaker 2: Right, So it's that you're the expert. What do you
31:00
Speaker 2: do for Fourth of July? What's your food?
31:02
Speaker 1: Well, you know, typically it would be a brisket and
31:06
Speaker 1: or some various pork products. Yeah, on occasion, I'll smoke
31:11
Speaker 1: some chicken. Yeah, but that's probably third on my list.
31:14
Speaker 1: Typically i'd fire up the old big giant offset firebox
31:19
Speaker 1: pit smoker. This Fourth of July, we're doing nothing, absolutely nothing.
31:24
Speaker 1: Not wife is having some surgery tomor right, that's right.
31:28
Speaker 1: We used to have this theme. Party based on a
31:31
Speaker 1: documentary we accidentally watched one night on the Amazon called Red, White,
31:36
Speaker 1: and Wasted.
31:38
Speaker 2: That is awesome.
31:39
Speaker 1: It is the most disturbing thing you've watched since Tiger King. Really, yes,
31:45
Speaker 1: it is that disturbing. So we decided to have a
31:47
Speaker 1: theme party based on that, and it was the most
31:51
Speaker 1: epic party we've ever thrown. As you should, but we
31:53
Speaker 1: have not repeated it, and people that attended the og
31:58
