15:38

space . They do events and stuff in there , but yeah

16:23

what a stroke is . I've

16:25

been electrocuted many times , have you ? Maybe

16:28

that's why you don't realize that toes are not

16:34

, or where Pennsylvania is . Continue

something else . Oh , what are you going to do

17:36

? It's a Buffalo Trace product

17:38

, but it's one of their , you know . So it is a

17:40

Buffalo Trace product , but they

17:42

didn't distribute it to everywhere

17:44

in the country and so when they

17:46

had cases on cases Exactly

17:48

, I mean it was ridiculous you wouldn't be able to find that

17:51

in the Chicagoland area . You'd have to go down

17:53

a little bit further south to find it . So

17:55

when you were like like Indianapolis has

17:57

it , I was there , did I tell you that Right

18:00

, yeah , no , no , when . Right , yeah

18:02

, no , when . When I was there , that's good

18:04

, that's

18:07

good , yeah , so that was that same week

18:09

. But you were telling me about that place and

18:12

I'm really excited to meet with those guys

18:14

. I think we're going to do one . I

18:17

think it's going to be one of our first . We bring

18:19

our stuff there and film there . Yeah , that

18:21

would be awesome to film on that set . That's my dream with it there and film there . Yeah , that would be

18:23

awesome to film in that , on that set . That would be that's my dream

18:26

with it is like yeah , I think so . Like

18:28

yeah , I see a place like that . I'm like

18:30

. I mean , it's like we have journeyman distillery

18:33

that I was at , that they're interested

18:35

. And you look at it , you're like , yes , yeah , we need

18:37

to come film here . A few episodes ago , I

18:39

think , was that the one we did um , yeah

18:42

, the field rye , oh , that's so

18:44

good . And then we

18:47

don't want to take away from the old . No , I mean

18:49

honestly , like there's a lot of stuff happening

18:51

in Indy and this

18:53

being one of them , yeah , and

18:55

the fact that this one even comes from there , you're like , okay

18:57

, I mean I guess you're getting closer to Kentucky

19:00

and all that . But

19:03

the corn , I

19:08

mean , one of the top distillers and one of the distillers that produces the

19:10

most amount of spirits within

19:12

Illinois or within the US

19:14

, is in just

19:17

south of Indianapolis . Oh , really , what is it ? Mgp

19:20

? Oh , I

19:23

didn't realize that's where they're at Indiana . Oh , there's a lot't realize that's where they're

19:25

at . It's in Indiana . Oh , yeah , there's a lot of really good

19:27

whiskey coming out of Indiana . Interesting

19:30

, yeah , especially like the south , like Indiana

19:33

, indianapolis and south of Indiana . Well

19:35

, they got to be probably a big producer of the corns

19:37

. Yep , I would imagine . You're

19:40

so close to the bourbon trail at that point . You're so close to

19:42

the bourbon trail . At that point You're like , hey , it's like right there

19:44

, just bring the corn over . Hey , can you toss

19:46

a cob over the

19:48

line , the state line ? Hey , remember , there's more

19:50

than corn in Indiana . That's

19:52

their slogan , that's their thing , right , is

19:54

it still ? I don't know , I don't know . It was when I was

19:56

a kid . Oh

19:58

, that's funny . That's good . Crystal Lake , a good

20:00

place to live . Yeah , crystal Lake

20:03

. You only come

20:05

here to get murdered by Michael Myers , that's right

20:07

. Yeah , not the actor either

20:09

. Right

20:11

, right , yeah , that'd be weird . Although he was

20:13

in a movie I Married an Axe Murderer . Oh

20:15

, that's kind of weird , that's true , but he wasn't

20:17

the murderer in that one . Yeah , so that doesn't apply

20:20

. He

20:25

was a poet . Oddly enough , I've never seen that movie . I don't know . Well

20:27

, I have seen the movie that we talked about earlier . We'll watch

20:29

. I'll watch that one because I haven't seen

20:31

it . And then you have to watch every

20:33

Marvel movie . That's the trade-off

20:35

. I thought we would go back to Speed 2

20:38

. Or Speed 2 . Which I will

20:40

not watch . It was so good , it

20:42

was awful . I don't

20:44

think that guy's acting . I think this is the age difference between

20:46

us . I was around for the original , you

20:48

were around for the sequel . Heck , yes , I

20:51

think that's about . You were probably my age when

20:54

Speed came out , when you were enjoying Speed

20:56

, whatever age that was , I was that age

20:58

, enjoying Speed too , enjoying Speed too . And

21:00

you were like this is the best movie ever , which I

21:02

thought Speed was one of the best movies ever because it

21:04

was just and I was like there's a one I

21:07

don't know , I thought maybe two just was like , yeah

21:09

, speed also , what

21:15

was our topic going to be ? What were

21:17

we going to talk about ? No , we were talking about movies

21:20

. Oh , christmas movies . We're

21:23

two weeks away from Christmas and we're like , of

21:26

course we're talking about movies . I'm deep into

21:28

watching Christmas movies . Stop . Favorite

21:30

Christmas movie of all time oh my gosh , we can get to this real

21:32

quick . Favorite Christmas movie oh , the Santa Claus Hands

21:35

down . Why we're finally going to

21:37

talk about this ? Because

21:39

when I was oh

21:41

my gosh , we're going to have to make this a triple episode

21:43

. Oh , yeah , when I

21:46

was in third , fourth

21:48

grade , you can wrap this up in seven minutes , can I ? Oof

21:51

, I can't even wrap a present in

21:53

seven minutes . Okay , hey , that was a good one

21:55

. No man can . No man

21:57

can . When

22:00

you were in seventh grade , thank you . When

22:05

I was in , no , when I was like I don't know what grade , seventh , fourth grade or something

22:07

. Okay , I used to Whenever the Santa Claus came out in 1991

22:11

. I think is when it was . I think it was 1991

22:13

. I would have been what ? Six , I

22:16

think it was later than that . Okay , by a lot

22:18

98 . Whatever

22:20

you If you were six hey Siri , I

22:22

was 11 in 91 . Okay , and you're

22:24

significantly younger than me . Watch this Ready . Hey

22:27

Siri , when did the Santa Claus come out

22:29

? 1998 . Santa

22:33

Claus was formed in

22:35

1809

22:38

. No , no , no , no . The Santa Claus came out in

22:40

the mid-90s . It came out in 95 , 96

22:43

, somewhere in there . Yeah , whatever age I was

22:45

, I loved that movie . Yeah , and I wanted

22:47

to be Santa , right . So

22:52

for Christmas that year I was at my mom's house . All I asked for , all I asked for

22:55

that year , was a Santa Claus costume . Wow

22:57

, and I got it Nice . And that

23:00

Christmas Eve I

23:03

dressed up in the costume . My mom gave it

23:05

to me early and

23:07

it's all on camera somewhere . Wait , wait , you

23:09

have video . Oh , I have video of this

23:11

somewhere . Do you have a picture of it Somewhere

23:14

? How quickly can you get a picture of it ? Uh , somewhere , how ? How quickly can you do a picture

23:16

of it ? I don't know , I'll have to find it . I'll see if

23:18

I can find it , my brother . But here's the thing , here's

23:21

the picture . Oh , no , not

23:23

all that work go ahead

23:25

, okay . So I

23:27

dressed up as santa gosh

23:30

, well , I'm gonna actually try to find . You have

23:32

to find it . I have to show my kids there

23:34

. It is uh . But like I

23:37

delivered the gifts under the tree

23:39

and I went and woke

23:41

up my siblings and there's like video footage

23:44

because my stepdad filmed everything and it's like

23:46

me waking up my little brothers and my

23:48

little sister and they're all like angry because

23:51

it's , you know , they're . It's like midnight , because we

23:53

would spend christmas eve with my mom

23:55

and and do the gifts at

23:57

, like you know , christmas eve and then , yeah

23:59

, the next day we go back to my dad's house . But anyways

24:02

, I was convinced because

24:04

I love , because I loved that movie so

24:06

much , I thought tim allen was

24:08

my dad . Wow , yeah , we

24:10

talked about this . And yeah , yeah , no , no , who did

24:12

I think the guy was that was at home

24:14

, also my dad , right ? I

24:17

just thought maybe tim allen was , you

24:20

know , also my dad , also your dad , because

24:22

he was santa claus , right ? Santa claus

24:24

favorite . This guy is my stepdad , right ? Yeah

24:26

, yeah , which means I'm

24:29

the heir to the throne of santa

24:31

claus , right ? So that's where I think

24:33

, where my mind was at that age . That's awesome

24:35

. Now , has it changed much ? Not

24:38

really , so you

24:40

know , I might . For the Christmas episode , I may

24:43

have to dress up like Santa Claus . I

24:46

can't wait . I'm

24:48

so excited In many ways . I can't wait . Maybe

24:50

you could be Santa , or you could be my little elf . You

24:53

could be Mrs Claus . No , can't

24:55

have a bearded Mrs Claus . Look

24:57

, I realize it's 2024 , but that's

24:59

where I draw the line . I mean , maybe

25:01

you can't ruin it , I won't ruin

25:03

it . What's your favorite Christmas movie ? It's going

25:06

to be a little controversial . Oh

25:08

, it's

25:10

actually a . It's going to be a little controversial

25:13

, okay , oh

25:17

, I little controversial . Okay , oh , oh , oh , I know

25:19

what it is , you know what it is , I do

25:22

, and you're gonna say it in three , two , one die hard . Yes , I knew it . Yeah , oh , it

25:24

is absolutely . It's not a controversial , it's a fact

25:26

. It's a christmas , it's a christmas movie . It's , it's

25:28

it , uh , it is a . It's

25:30

a really good movie . It is I . I

25:32

don't know that I would necessarily like . It's

25:35

a good christmas movie . It is

25:37

celebrating christmas like you get the . Yes

25:40

, it's so good , it's so good . What's the saying

25:42

? It's not christmas until hans

25:45

gruber falls off . That's

25:47

right , that's right , that's right . Uh , when

25:49

I was growing up though , before you

25:51

know , we're talking like like I'm , or

25:53

five , six , before diehard

25:56

was released in 1989

25:58

. I think we can get back . You're significantly

26:00

older than us . Hey Siri , when

26:03

was diehard released ? 1980

26:07

. She doesn't want to listen to you this way . No , that's your phone

26:09

. That's why it doesn't like . Okay , hey Siri , when was diehard

26:11

released ? 1989

26:13

. Diehard was released in 1988

26:17

. 88 . 88 . Okay , that's

26:19

enough . We don't need a book , we

26:22

just wanted a quick date . We don't need

26:24

any action stuff . Leave

26:27

it to the British . She's Australian

26:29

. Leave it to the Australian , leave

26:31

it to the Aussies . You can't

26:33

even beat an emu in a wall . Yeah , you can't even beat an emu in a

26:35

wall . Yeah , you can't even beat an emu in a wall . So

26:39

why are we asking you when ? In 1988

26:41

. So before 1988 , I would say

26:43

that my favorite Christmas movie was probably

26:46

oh man

26:48

, there's so many good ones , but it was probably

26:51

it Came

26:53

Upon a Midnight Clear . That's

26:56

not a movie , that's a song . It

26:59

came upon a

27:01

midnight clear , like

27:03

the little old guy . It Came Upon a Midnight

27:05

. Clear Rooney , mickey Rooney , yeah

27:07

, mickey Rooney , no , no , not Mickey . Yeah , mickey

27:09

Rooney , yeah , the Santa Claus , the

27:12

little tiny guy . Well , he's tiny

27:14

as a person , but also in

27:16

the claymations . Those are one of my

27:18

favorites . That was one

27:20

of my favorites when I was growing up and

27:24

then obviously Die Hard has become my

27:26

favorite Christmas movie as I've gotten

27:28

older . But

27:30

it was a great movie when I was eight

27:32

, nine years old , whatever . So Die Hard came

27:34

out when you were eight or nine . Pause

27:37

, we're going to continue this , we're

27:40

just going to stop . It's

27:42

not heating up , I'm

27:45

just going to start . So

27:49

Die Hard came out when you were nine , yeah

27:52

, eight or nine years old , something like that , depending

27:54

on the time frame . I

28:02

mean it probably was released in 88 into theaters . But like , didn't get to v8 . I

28:04

definitely did not . Like , as an eight-year-old I definitely wasn't in line to go

28:06

see that at the . So like that's definitely something I saw on eight

28:08

, I wouldn't put it past the parent at that time . So like

28:10

I'm nine or ten when I first see die hard

28:12

, right , uh , I wouldn't necessarily have said

28:14

like , oh , that's my favorite Christmas movie at that point

28:16

. No , now I can say that , but For

28:18

sure , but the point being that , yeah

28:21

, that would probably have been . It came

28:23

upon me at Midnight . Clear was like , probably the one

28:26

that I kind of went to , a

28:28

bunch , a bunch , but

28:31

like , even as recently as you know

28:33

, I mean a Charlie

28:35

Brown Christmas , yeah , you know

28:37

, like the classic , I mean I would

28:39

say Santa Claus and Die Hard are classics now

28:42

, but

28:47

like I really like a lot the claymation ones . Santa Claus is Coming to Town Year

28:49

Without a Santa Claus , like

28:52

the old , like I'm talking like what is it 19

28:54

? Well , I mean Rudolph the Red-Nosed Re , like was it 19 ? Well , I

28:56

mean , rudolph the red rose , reindeer was all claymation . Like

28:58

frosty the snowman was mickey

29:00

rooney was santa claus

29:02

, and the claymations oh yeah , yeah , yeah

29:05

, that makes sense , that makes sense , I like those

29:07

a lot . The kids , like those I

29:09

gotta tell you like , uh , my favorite

29:11

soundtrack of all christmas

29:13

, like I would say like , like , if we were

29:15

to branch out into , because I wouldn't say

29:17

that that movies is next necessarily

29:19

the thing that I think of most

29:21

around christmas , it's the music . Okay

29:24

, oh , it's crosby holiday radio

29:26

. Okay , that's my , that's my thing . For

29:28

me it's don't say john mayer , freaking

29:30

holloman . I will . It is vince gerald

29:33

. I will end this podcast . It's Vince Giraldi

29:35

, it's Vince Giraldi and then

29:37

it's Vince Giraldi . I love it . There's no question

29:40

about that one . Does he have a station on

29:43

Pandora ? You don't need

29:45

it . If you just listen to Charlie

29:48

Brown Christmas , the album on

29:50

repeat , I could do

29:52

that all year long . You know I was in Charlie Brown

29:54

local college . We're going to do the first act . I

30:29

wasn't in the show , I was like somebody else

30:31

in the show when we did it , but for this

30:33

it was like a musical review thing . So

30:36

we were just the first act at McHenry

30:38

County College . The guy that was Schroeder couldn't

30:40

do it , so they hired me . Now

30:43

30:48

33:55

? Can we agree that that is the

33:57

most quotable christmas movie of

33:59

all time ? Sure is

34:01

, yes , national lampoon , that next

34:03

to home alone

34:05

. Keep the change . You filled the animal

34:08

like home alone I'm

34:10

. But I'm still to say it's

34:12

because there are so many , there's

34:15

so many . It was full

34:18

. Yeah , I really want to Cousin Eddie

34:20

, cousin Eddie , so good . Yeah

34:23

, and when ? When ? Hopefully

34:25

. You see what a tremendous waste of time . The

34:27

resources was yeah

34:30

, grace , grace

34:32

, she's been dead

34:34

for years . She died 30

34:36

years ago . The blessing , it's

34:41

so good . Wrapped up , our damn cat

34:43

. We

34:45

have that ornament and it plays

34:48

that whole scene . It's so

34:50

funny . I'm drooling

34:52

on myself . I'm drooling on myself

34:54

. That's so good , yeah . But yeah , christmas

34:56

story , we just started watching it . The kids love

34:58

it . Cora , oh , are they into

35:01

it now ? Yes , cora , the four-year-old , she goes

35:03

. Can we watch the movie with the slide

35:05

where they put them down the slide

35:07

? And I'm like Christmas Story With

35:10

the one with the slide where they send him down the

35:12

slide . I'm like with the freaky Santa

35:14

that sells You'll shoot your eye out , kid

35:16

. It's so good . There

35:20

are a lot of quotable moments in that one too , I suppose . But for me , these

35:22

movies it's the feeling I

35:25

get from what . It's a physical

35:27

feeling . I don't know what that

35:29

, if it's nostalgia , I think

35:31

nostalgia is a physical feeling

35:33

Like

35:37

this is a physical feeling as it goes down my gullet

35:39

, pour it down your face , summerfield Down your

35:41

face . Oh , it's so good . But

35:44

those movies I think that's why we like

35:46

movies and I think Christmas

35:49

it's such a . You know , maybe

35:51

for some people it's not , but you know what ? This

35:53

isn't church . I'm

35:56

not going to talk about the people that have a hard

35:58

time . We're going to talk about the good stuff . Uh , I'm having a hard time relating

36:01

those comments , but it's a lot happening

36:03

in my head , but it's it's

36:05

just the nostalgia of it , all

36:07

you know , and that's the section of the podcast

36:09

we should probably just cut

36:11

it . I don't know what that was , I'm gonna

36:14

leave it . I don't even care . That was , I'm going to leave it . I don't even care

36:16

. I know you're going to leave it , but

36:18

it's the yeah , the feeling Like you get watching

36:20

it . It's like it brings you . I think it's because it brings

36:22

you back to that time and that's why the Santa

36:24

Claus you know memories with my mom and all that stuff

36:26

Sure Comes back and Sure

36:28

, I

36:38

think , retire , I will be a santa claus . I think that will be one of the things I do . Yeah

36:41

, I mean grow the beard out and , uh , luckily you get to wear a hat , thankfully

36:43

, because I'm bald , almost

36:46

I'm gonna probably shave my head again . Sorry , I

36:48

had to , I had to , I don't even care

36:50

. Like , like once an episode , I'm gonna make fun

36:52

of your and I think it's good . It

36:54

keeps me humble . Yeah , yeah

36:58

, any other Christmas movies ? Oh , because

37:00

we're going to talk Miracle on 34th Street

37:02

. I do like that one . I do like

37:04

37:11

like the newer one with Richard Attenborough . Can I tell you a movie that is a classic

37:13

Christmas movie that I have actually never . Well

37:17

37:21

37:27

it up . It's a bad movie , isn't it

37:29

? Is it game of thrones ? That's not a christmas movie

37:32

, that's a movie with

37:34

body parts and

37:36

dragons I have never

37:38

seen , from Start to Finish . It's

37:40

a Wonderful Life . Okay

37:51

, all right , let

37:55

me just say

37:57

, let me be clear . Throwback

38:03

to Rajiv . Remember that , rajiv . Let

38:06

me be clear , president Obama

38:08

, it's a Wonderful

38:10

Life . I don't know why I forgot that

38:12

is one of the best movies . It's my father-in-law's

38:15

favorite . I love that . You've never seen the best movies . It's

38:17

my father-in-law's favorite . I love that . You've never seen it . Dude , let's

38:19

watch it . It's

38:21

so good , what

38:23

is it about it , that you don't want to watch it ? For

38:26

me it is . I

38:29

think I grew up in a time . I hate your

38:31

excuse , just

38:34

kidding , go ahead . I grew

38:36

up in a time . I grew up

38:38

in a time when . Do

38:41

you remember like the big joke was every

38:44

time you turn on the TV between

38:47

Thanksgiving and Christmas Day , it's on . It's

38:49

on , yeah , but that's a Christmas channel

38:51

. Well , christmas stories . It doesn't matter what network you're looking at , it doesn't matter

38:53

the time of day . It's in Home Alone , it's a Christmas channel . It doesn't matter what network

38:56

you're looking at , it doesn't matter the time of day . It's in Home Alone , it's

38:58

always there . It's even in Home Alone . The first one , I know . The

39:01

point there is that it was so

39:03

overplayed . You

39:06

saw bits and pieces of it . Yeah , of

39:08

course , but I never really

39:10

watched the whole thing

39:12

, watched

39:21

the whole thing and it got to the point where it got to the point where the the fact that I

39:23

had gone as long as I had without actually seeing it's

39:25

just embarrassing . Absolute cult classic

39:28

, if you will . Really , it's not even a cult

39:30

, it's a popular classic . I haven't seen mad max

39:32

, of which , like me

39:34

neither , but like it's one

39:36

of those things that , like you , had to have been

39:38

sleeping under a rock , living

39:41

under a rock , whatever the saying is to

39:44

not have seen this movie at least

39:46

once in your life . Right

39:49

, collectively that I became , I decided

39:51

that you know what if I've made it this long now

39:53

you're just solidarity , you're just holding

39:56

out . I've I've never seen the titanic

39:58

. For the same , oh my gosh . Well

40:00

, you're better off for the same reason

40:02

is because everybody else has seen it in

40:04

the world . I may be the only we've

40:06

talked about this . I may be the only person my age

40:09

who hasn't seen the titanic . And

40:11

you are like , at this point , it's

40:13

kind of like a . There's sort

40:15

of like a man

40:17

. Yeah , some clout there , I think

40:20

I've never seen . It's a wonderful

40:22

life , but like what I think with that , I certainly

40:24

know the jokes , right , but now you're

40:26

right , it's funny because if you , if you

40:28

turn on tbs , I want

40:30

to marry , I want to , I want a big

40:32

one , what do you want the

40:34

? I'll throw a lasso around it and pull

40:36

it down far . Are you talking about the honeymooners

40:38

? I don't know what you're talking about here

40:40

, but it's

40:42

funny because you're right

40:44

. If you were to turn on TBS , they

40:47

play the Christmas story 24 hours

40:49

. I feel , yeah , christmas Day , right , just

40:51

back to back to back to back to back . Yeah , it's a

40:53

great movie , almost kind

40:55

of . That was made in 83 . I looked

40:57

that up Right , which is kind

40:59

of funny . I was negative two . Yeah , based

41:02

in Chicago , filmed in Cleveland . I

41:07

thought it was based in Ohio

41:12

. No , I

41:14

mean , well , I guess it could . Could be , it's one

41:16

of the southern suburbs . It's

41:20

not cleveland , I can tell you . That's where the uh

41:22

bears . But the burst , what

41:25

would ? What would it mean for you to

41:27

watch ? It's a wonderful life , like

41:31

let titanic , let

41:33

that be the thing . You never see , that you're fine , I , I'm

41:36

probably fine there . Look , I'll tell you

41:38

. Uh , you know , she had room

41:40

on the door . That's all I got to say . Jack

41:42

, he could have survived . There was plenty

41:45

of space on the door , but she just

41:47

a selfish jerk . That's

41:49

all you need to know . Um , uh , but

41:52

it's a wonderful life . And

41:56

color . I like the color version , even

41:58

though it's color . Is there a difference ? Yeah

42:01

, there's color versus black and white , but

42:03

it is such a good . Bert and Ernie , that's where

42:05

that comes from , really . Yeah

42:08

, I love Bert and Ernie . Yeah , it

42:10

comes from the . Yes , I would never have

42:12

known . There's a police officer and a cab driver named

42:14

Bert and Ernie . Huh , comes from that , as

42:17

far as I know . Maybe I need to watch it now . It's really

42:19

good . What

42:21

do you want ? You want the moon ? I'll

42:24

throw a lasso around and pull it down for

42:26

you . If the moon were made

42:28

of hair , would you eat it ? Now we're talking about Harry Caray

42:30

. If

42:37

the moon were made of cheese , would you eat it ? I would Wash it down with an ice , cold butter

42:39

wash . How

42:43

do I carry you ? Holy

42:47

cow , holy cow

42:49

, how do I ? I

42:55

don't know . I think I'm going to

42:57

hold out a little bit longer . I haven't , I

42:59

haven't . If you watch it , you gotta let me know . I'll watch

43:01

it with you , will you ? It's a good movie . It

43:04

just seems like it's so long . That's

years ago . Yeah , no , maybe 15 years

49:08

ago . It was amazing , best

49:10

thing ever . It

49:13

was a Creole injected deep

49:16

fried turkey . It was amazing To

49:19

a T . I did it . Elton Brown

49:21

, best food

49:24

teacher ever . I followed it exactly

49:26

. I did it perfectly . It was the best

49:28

thing I've ever had . There was nothing left

49:30

. I've been trying

49:32

for years . I've tried every single

49:35

possible recipe of turkey , every

49:37

different chef . Nothing is compared . Single

49:40

possible recipe of turkey yeah , every different chef . Nothing is compared To

49:42

that . Deep fried turkey Nope . This year , freaking bought a deep fryer . I

49:44

bought the oil . Yeah , it was impulse

49:46

buy and delicious and it

49:48

was freaking amazing . Yeah , I

49:51

love that . I love that

49:53

. I wish I would have gotten a bite

49:55

of it , frankly . But , like

49:57

you mentioned , nothing is left

49:59

. Nothing's left . It's hard to do that

50:01

. 18-pound turkey that's awesome . We had three

50:03

people here . That's awesome . It includes me . 18

50:08

pounds , I want

50:10

a duck . That's roughly six pounds a person . Yeah

50:12

, I want a duck man

50:14

. I wonder if we could . Can you actually kill one of your ducks ? I wonder

50:16

if we could do it . Well , I mean , they're not producing

50:18

eggs right now . Are they

50:20

edible ducks ? I mean

50:23

, aren't all , I guess ? I

50:26

think typically it's like the big white ones . That's

50:28

what we have . We have three big white ones . Oh my

50:30

gosh . Yeah

50:32

, you have two big white ones , right ? No

50:35

, yeah , you totally have two For sure . You've only

50:37

had two ever , ever

50:39

. I think you're trying to hone

50:41

in on my ducks here . Oh

50:44

my God . Well , this has been a great episode

50:47

. This was fun . Yeah
