CDH free says. Hey Dave, do you think this push of the Epstein files by the left is really designed to push out the old guard, allowing the young gun socialists to take full control? That, that my friend, is a good question because it makes you think. And could that be. Could it be that as these files are released and we're gonna see, all of these people took money from him? Which as I illustrated earlier, just because you took money from someone doesn't mean you knew anything or did anything for that money or anything else. Otherwise, every politician everywhere, they all take money from people. They don't vet every person to know who you talk to and where the money came from and everything else. However, could part of the push be that the radical base who. And they're winning, they've taken over the Democrat party already. Look what just happened in New York and everything else that they're like, how do we accelerate the downfall first of the Democrats, but then really everybody, like they want everybody old School not just as old. They want anyone Old school America. They want them out. So if you can put a little stank on everybody, whether it is deserved or just or not, that might be the way to do it. So that is a great point. I will keep that in mind as we cover this story going forward. Love to laugh. Says, hey, Dave, are you still feeling all the awesome benefits from your recent needs procedure? I am. Joey, how was my finger oil last night? Three hours in. Pretty good, Dave. Okay, it was pretty good. I don't think you can hear me. Yeah, I did the stem cell thing. I blew out my knee. Fifteen tears in my knee. It was ACL and MCL and tendons and all that stuff. Fifteen tears. Dr. Richie Striano, who, by the way, I know so many of you have gone to. He's texting me every day saying, I got this person from you and this person from you. And he's helping all sorts of people. And there's incredible physical benefits. Whether it was knee. He also did my shoulder. I thought I was never going to play basketball again. I mean, when that thing ripped, I heard pops and cracks. It was like I stepped on a bag full of popcorn and glass. I'm not kidding. I've said it before. A guy that wasn't even playing on the court with us, he started screaming because he was like, did you hear that? It was terrible. That was in February. I had the stem cells injected on April 10, and by the end of May, I was playing again. And now I'm not even wearing any brace. I wear, like a little compression sleeve. That's it. So I'm probably playing better than I played 10 years ago. And my shoulder, which I was really having trouble, I think it was mostly from like, you know, like, carrying the kids all the time. My shoulder, I could barely lift my arm. And now my shoulder is completely fine. So if you are having any kind of stuff, Google Dr. Rich Estriano. He is just an absolute all star. Changed my life. Joey hurt his back a couple weeks ago, had some slip discs. He just did stem cells. Like I'm telling you guys, it's. It's just magical and how cool that your body has the stuff in it. You need to heal. You just need to get access to it. Lacy says, can you explain exactly what Israel has done that is so egregious to have lost support for the fight against Hamas since Hamas? The same Hamas that burned babies in ovens and dragged the mutilated woman's body through the street? Streets. I mean, you guys Know, I, I've seen the 47 minute video that they've only. They keep on an Israeli military base. That's like the worst of the worst. Like I've seen the beheading. Like at least one beheading. And the guy that's doing the beheading is smiling the entire time and laughing as he's beheading someone in slow motion. Not even with a shark. I mean, this is disgusting. But not even with like a cleaver. It's just like a little knife like this. Like that's not easy to do. And trust me, that wasn't even the worst of it. The things that they were doing to kids. It's unimaginable. Unimaginable. I mean, I think there's a couple things going on here. I think that Israel is usually more concerned with building things and surviving. They are with pr. I think the people that want to take them out are obsessed with. They will lie about anything and everything. And that really is a problem. How do you constantly not only try to survive and thrive in a tough part of the world, geographically tough, and without a lot of natural resources and, and just continue to build a thriving Western society while you have rockets coming in, while they've got some of your people underground, while they're strapping on suicide vests, while they're doing car rammings, while they're like all of those things. And you have people across the west that for whatever reason are obsessed with destroying you. I mean, there is some ancient hatred stuff here for sure, but I think more than anything else, it's kind of a little bit what's going on with the right right now. Like a small portion of the right, I would say, which is that if you are jealous of people's success, you're probably going to do anything you can to take them out. And that's why jealousy is just so wrong and evil. Like, it's so interesting too, because I think it has a little bit to do with how you're wired. Like when I meet successful people or when I interview successful people and I've interviewed billionaires, but it's not just, I don't even mean it. Financial success, people that are, that are happy. We just had. We're gonna put it up, I think on New Year's Day Day, we just had Arthur Brooks in here who has written several books on happiness. And he's an incredible human being. And I've met him once before, but we sat down in the studio with him just a few days ago. And my Guess is he's got some money and some success and some fame or whatever. Well, that's kind of obvious, but after spending an hour with him, I was like, that's the type of person that I want to be, you know what I mean? As opposed to looking at him and being jealous of something. I don't know what he has in terms of material stuff, more or less than me, it doesn't matter. But I think if you were rooted in jealousy, if you look at someone who either has more in a material sense, or you think they're more successful than you in some sense, or they've figured out something about life and you're jealous. And I think that that's a lot of what this has come down to around Jews. But you might, instead of jealousy, you might want to go, oh, is there something that they did as a society that has allowed them to survive for thousands of years at unimaginable odds? You might want to say, instead of hating them, I might want to learn a little something about culture or tradition or religion or belief or ingenuity or something. But the human condition is quite strange. Brian says, is there any chance to have 12 ounce bottles or cans of Copal yet? Maybe even flavor mixes? So we released just as a reposado and I am so thrilled. Not only have we won a couple awards, we're selling like crazy right now, which I think, do we have the image? We will. 20%, you guys. Today or tomorrow is probably the last day you can get it before Thanksgiving because the shipping's gonna get pretty nuts right now. So it's 20% off. No code needed@drinkcopal.com and we're just. The feedback has just been amazing and it's been great. So we've been thinking about what the next thing's gonna be. I'm leaning towards a mezcal. I'm kind of into Mel Scal's lately and there's something there. But I do like the idea of doing something that's a little more like a simple, simple tequila soda or even. We were thinking about little glass bottles that would basically, in essence have a shot. You know, it's not really. It's a beautiful, elegant tequila. So it's not really something you're doing shots with. Although I guess we've done a couple shots around here. But yeah, we're trying to figure out something that would be a little bit smaller than just like the bottle. Something that's a little more accessible to just, you know, take to the beach or out in the Pool or whatever it might be. So hang tight on that and thank you for all you guys that have. You know, I just love getting the feedback. It's so cool, too, to create something. You know, I created this that people seem to enjoy, but to create something that we put so much love into. And it's been such a. It's just so out of my wheelhouse. I'm going down to Mexico to create a tequila and that people. People who love tequila. I mean, when we were in Mexico and we brought it down there and we're talking to some of the best tequila sommeliers in the world, people loved it. Like, really, really loved it. So it's very exciting. CP1951 says, how does the machine get. Get stopped? It's like whack a mole. Ah, the machine. How do you stop the machine? I don't know. There. There is a machine. There is a game. It's been played before us. It'll be played after all of us. And. And I think the best thing you can do is learn how to be a better player. One of the. When I learned that really was when I sat down. We should play this clip on the show maybe next week. When I sat down probably two years ago with Jared Kushner over at the local studio, and it was the first time. Was it the first time we had met? No, I think we had had. Maybe we had met once or twice before, but it was the first time we did like an actual proper sit down. And he talked about just everything as it relates to geopolitics and the Abraham Cords and everything they tried to do in the first administration. It's a game. And if you think about it as a game, these are characters in a game. There is a script. And that you can then learn how to play the game a little bit better. Right? Don't hate the player, hate the game. Learn how to play the game better so that you can be a player. So I don't know that you can ever defeat it, but yeah, it is always. Well, it's always why I'm like. Like, you know, no one ever pays the price. That's why I don't think they're going to be dragging all these people away in the Epstein thing. It's like no one paid the price for Covid. Think about all the horrific things that people in power did with COVID and nobody paid the price. Maybe with the Epstein thing, there's going to be a sacrificial lamb or two. Like, they're just going to Grab. Because, you know, at some point, as Dr. Drew talked about, we taped actual friends yesterday. It'll be up tomorrow. Dr. Drew pointed out that, you know, when you have these sort of mass hysteria things, whether they're legitimate or not, but you have like kind of a mob mentality around something, at some point you need a release. So that usually is where you're gonna get the sacrificial lamb or you're gonna get somebody that they can all turn their hate on. So it seems like somebody will go down so that people will then move on. But we'll see. Elizabeth says, do the boys like Ghostbusters cartoon or the live action movie? So, you know, they're only three, but they really, really got into Ghostbusters. I don't know exactly how it happened in August. And I told you we've been listening to Ghostbusters in this house, like just ad nauseam. They were ghosts for Halloween and we were Ghostbusters, which was totally fun. And I've shown them a little bit of the Ghostbusters cartoon. But even for a three year old, obviously a lot of it's going over their head and they don't need that much direct. It's not even that it's so violent, but you know what I mean, they just don't need that much of that kind of high stimulation stuff. We've shown them a little bit of the movie, really just the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. But even that part, it's kind of scary because the rest of them are up top on the roof and you got the big, the big monster wolf out there and, you know, choose the form of the destroyer. So that's not really for kids either. Puffin rock is pretty good. They got these little penguins. They're on this little island. They're doing a bunch of stuff that you guys, you'd like. You'd like it. You would like it. All right, let's talk about Lean for a second. Then a couple more questions. Do doctors have Black Friday sales? Well, at Brick House Nutrition, they do.

These are the type of questions I like mixing up some of the political stuff with. With these types of things. First concert I ever went to, I'm guessing it was 1989. I was about 12 years old. I was at sleepaway camp somewhere in Pennsylvania and they took us to the Steve Miller band, which I don't even know that I knew any of that about the Steve Miller man at the time, but that's such perfect, like, like late 70s, 80s. Look at that. That's kind of like all the Journey albums. I think maybe we have a picture of Steve Miller somewhere. Book of Dreams, I guess. No, we don't have. It's okay. It doesn't matter. But yeah, ste you. You know Steve Miller, man. Like, they're just classic kind of. It's. It's more like late 70s, early 80s rock. Just. Just great stuff. That was my first concert. Second one was. This is going to really date me in some way. Debbie Gibson. You guys don't even know Debbie Gibson, do you? We're going to end the show with a little Debbie Gibson today. Or pull up a little Debbie Gibson. She was huge. Brian says. Dave, do you have any atypical sides for Thanksgiving? You know, I handle the turkey. So we have all of David's family, we host for Thanksgiving. And I'm going to do the turkey as I've done the last four or five years on the Big Green Egg. So I'm smoking that turkey. It is an adventure and it is well worth it if you nail it it on the smoker. Like you're going to get such a delicious, perfect crust on the outside that's just so freaking flavorful. It's amazing. And the turkey will be as moist as turkey can be. But yes, we do the turkey and then I let them handle the sides. And I'm blessed to have a lot of people that. That are great chefs. So the Eaton will be pretty good here. And there will be a side of copal. When we have a 10, we have 10 seconds of Debbie Gibson. Can we do it? We can't do it. It's copyright issues. All right, later, guys. Go check out. There's Debbie Gibson. And she was it back then out of the Blue, Deluxe Edition Joe says, I'm very aware of the team's love of basketball and of Dave's knee issues. That said, has the team ever considered in competing in a local charity 5k or 10k race as a team building exercise? What do you say, guys? That sounds like something. I got a yes. I got a yes. I got a yes. All right, we're going to do something. We'll find something here, you know, Miami local, ish. And we'll let you know what we're doing and maybe some of you guys could get, get involved. That would be fun. Rap sack says. Hey, Dave, can the Republicans temporarily get rid of the filibuster, get done what they need, get done what they need to get done and then put the filibuster back. That's an interesting question. And Joseph, actually I wasn't sure of the answer. I quickly, I usually quickly glance at the questions, but we weren't sure the answer and Joseph did a little research. So listen to this. So your question, just reiterate the question question, because it's a good one. Could the Republicans right now, with the majority, temporarily remove the filibuster so that they wouldn't need 60, do a whole bunch of stuff that they want to get done and then put it back? So if the Democrats took power, the Democrats would basically not be able to do it without removing it again. And the answer is this. Procedurally, the answer is yes, it's possible. And here's how you vote with 50 plus with 50 senators and the VP to reinterpret Senate rules, effectively killing the filibuster for certain kinds of legislation. Then you pass other rule, another rules interpretation to restore the old standard. But there is a catch, of course, because temporary rule changes would require that every GOP senator would have to agree to go nuclear. I mean, agree to do this. And then Democrats at that point, once they took power again, they'd have every incentive to keep the rules changed. So in essence, could you possibly do it? Yeah, but the second you do it and lose power, they can just reverse everything by the very same standard that you just put everything in. So it is messy to say the least. That's why I think there's just such an interesting argument around this. Right. There's just like the philosophic argument about what do you do when you are in power? Do you do everything you can to right the ship to the best of your ability? And with our, with our team in power right now, I want them to do the best that they can. But if they take this power. You got to be careful about the power. It's that ring movie that Connor likes. Once you get that ring, it's going to start freaking you out. Next thing you know, you're a little troll like fella staring at a ring and a little hobbit's gonna push you into a lava pit. Thank you for watching. See you tomorrow.
