Unknown Speaker I can see that foreign you're like Unknown Speaker wow, I can see that for the for the reptilian was. This guy was a prison guard. No, that Speaker 1 guy. Oh, the movie? Oh, yeah. Here's a picture of Tiki Donahue as an old man with Zac Efron. Unknown Speaker Going on. What is what are we talking about? Unknown Speaker What are we talking about? Speaker 1 Is overshadowing. Okay, so tricky Donohue I'll tell you about you know, Unknown Speaker speed to body shaming. Speaker 2 Did you see when Zac Efron's Netflix series came out and people were like, Oh, I love him with a dad bod. That's exactly what my response was. People were going crazy. Like, look, Google Zac Efron. We Unknown Speaker know I've seen the show. I watched the Google Zac Efron, Unknown Speaker dad. Speaker 1 He did not have a dad rod. Zac, Zac Efron, biceps. That's exactly what Unknown Speaker is that? Are you tired? Oh, man. What's the measurement on his biceps? Unknown Speaker I don't know. I could Google that. Oh, man. Speaker 2 So no, but as I'm saying is like he was he did not have a dad bod. Do you just Unknown Speaker have to? Do we need to go get a license to get this picture on screen? Speaker 2 No, I was trying to his there was a there anyway. He didn't have a dad bought in that Netflix series. He did not know. Yeah, he's still like he's still ripped. He's just not dehydrated. He's just not toned. Yeah, yeah. Which like, which What movie is sick is what it is. You're sick. You cannot live like that for more than like, a week and a half. Unknown Speaker Yeah. Yeah, that's, that's an unhealthy state. Yes. Unknown Speaker So anyway, interesting. That's just what I Unknown Speaker thought DadBod Speaker 2 people were going crazy. Like I love his dad bod. And you're like, you have not met a dad. Speaker 1 Okay, so to get down to you. Okay. To get down to who was I don't like Speaker 2 how excited you are. Just want to put that out there right now. Not a fan of the excitement in your face. I'm trying to think of all this AQa from movies that have come out lately. Unknown Speaker I don't think you've heard of this. Unknown Speaker Okay. Chicky Chicky. Unknown Speaker Chicky Chicky DadBod. Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, I do remember that specific. We watch. Unknown Speaker So, to get out of you, Speaker 2 dad, Bob allottee, or whatever it's called. Speaker 1 Dad, Bob Bob. Okay. Okay, so ticky tacky was a dude who lived in upper Manhattan. In the I mean, his whole life, but specifically in the early 60s, during the Vietnam War. And I don't know if you know a lot about history, but let me tell you, in case you didn't know. Unknown Speaker Oh, wait. Unknown Speaker Did I send you the trailer for this movie? Unknown Speaker I don't think so. Because Unknown Speaker I don't know the story. Speaker 1 This was a patron recommendation, but I'm gonna be honest, I don't remember who recommended it. And I have seen the trailer Speaker 2 All I know is that Zac Efron accidentally ends up in the middle of the Vietnam War, is that it's probably this one. That's what I'm saying. Probably. That's what I thought I sent it to you. And I was like, I'm not going to find out about this. But because any movie lately that just says based on true events, I just send it to you. And I go, I want to know what this tells me about it. It was good. And then we can love some of it was Zac Efron in it. That's why I say a Jurassic Park. I don't know what happened. But I was like, I want to know, they remade it. They. I mean, it's gotta Unknown Speaker be a true story. Speaker 2 It says based on true basis. So okay, go ahead with the story that okay, Speaker 1 chicken Donahue. I was live in the Vietnam War. And in case you didn't know, the Vietnam War was not popular. A lot of people protested. Unknown Speaker Yeah. What years were the Vietnam War? Listener? I know, but Speaker 1 just for the people who don't know, I think it was 58 to 64. Let me double check that. I thought it was after that. Let me double check. Let me double check. Make sure I'm right on that. Vietnam War was oh, whoa. 55 to 75. Speaker 2 Yeah, I was gonna say again, that was the entire 60s. Speaker 1 Shoot. Okay. Yeah, so 55 to 75. As a very unpopular war, a lot of people back at the States didn't think we should be there. And so that was protested pretty much the entire length of the war. And obviously, there was a split, some people thought that we should be some people thought that they shouldn't. Speaker 2 That was actually a really interesting was that in Christian domains book about the Vietnam War split, was expected to be well, it was interesting, remember the split of because the people who got sent off to war war because we didn't like do a huge draft for that there was there wasn't, but it wasn't like the scale that like World War was. And so the people who were good The draft people who can get out of drafts have money. Yeah, and have, you know, resources and lawyers and reasons to get out of drafts or whatever. And so it was predominantly blue collar kids going off to Vietnam. Yeah. And then the rich kids were at home protesting that. And so it became a consciousness division between all the rich kids are here protesting Well, my son's out fighting the stupid war. Yeah. You know. And so he became a clashing point for patriotism. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, it's just I remember reading that it Unknown Speaker was that that sounds like a point in our book that I don't remember. Speaker 2 Well, I think it's just the difference between maybe the way my brain processes information and the way that your brain process our friend, okay, terrible thing to us. And I think they haven't recovered. They might have done this on purpose. They might they're trying to drive a wedge between they might be what's frustrating is, oh, so here's the question, and we're just gonna put it out there. And by the time that you hear this, we'll probably have resolved this with professional testing, and counseling. But our friend group debated on who in our group has the highest IQs. And no one disagreed about who was number one. And Tim's pretty mad about that. What's frustrating Speaker 1 is we've had this conversation before. And I've always come out on number one who, the four of us conversation and, and then you come around, and all of a sudden, everyone, there's a new number one in town. And Speaker 2 I don't like it. When did you have this conversation? Was I included in the ranking during this conversation I included? Speaker 1 It was just it was another time we're hanging out and different time. It was another time we're hanging out and it came up. I think Bernie, again, was trying to drive a wedge between everyone or Unknown Speaker she does like to do that. That's the reason why I have a solid wife. It's like, Hey, what's your Unknown Speaker internal jealousy thing going on? Who Unknown Speaker all of you think is the dumbest here? Yeah, Unknown Speaker you're gonna have a really tough dynamic with your children. Unknown Speaker Yeah, we're gonna ask them that every month. Anyway. Unknown Speaker Stan, according if we just look Unknown Speaker at this past month, who here is the dumbest? Speaker 2 So anyway, so Vietnam war is going on? Speaker 1 Yes. What's going on? It's deeply unpopular, very unpopular. At one night in November, Speaker 2 because America did not have a recipe there. It was. We can get into Unknown Speaker reason. But it wasn't. Unknown Speaker Yeah, so Unknown Speaker it's November, we had Unknown Speaker a reason to be in Iraq as well, you know, and that's Speaker 1 it's November, they're in Manhattan. And Tiki is at a local bar. Sure. It was a bar called O'Malley's the doc Fiddler's doc Fiddler's club. Plus, Doc Fiddler's pub. Sure. And it's the bartender there who's running? who's manning the show? He's a former Marine. Everybody there calls him the colonel. Yeah, he was never a colonel. But everyone calls him that. I'd Speaker 2 love to enlist. Yeah, just to have a cool just to get called Sarge. You know, Unknown Speaker we can make that your Speaker 2 shower, just just just to get the you know, saying. Oh, Unknown Speaker I don't know wedding. A wedding? Let me rewind a little bit. I didn't put that. But on a wedding like RSVP. Unknown Speaker Oh, yeah. Did you present the doctor or whatever? No, I Speaker 1 put judge said it has a drop down menu for all your prefixes. Unknown Speaker Our judges Unknown Speaker you feel that value? What do they do? Unknown Speaker They just what's the line? Unknown Speaker They're glorified kidnappers. Speaker 2 The military? I guess both. Okay, so he's a colonel. He's the garden but he's not a colonel running the ship. Speaker 1 I think he was like the highest he ever got was private first class, but everyone called him a colonel. Is that Speaker 2 just like you just really want to bring this guy down? Like, is it relevant? The highest regard was private first class. I mean, he only got out of high school because the military was like, Yeah, you're graduated to come in with your Yeah, he was kind of dumb. His IQ pretty low. Yeah. Unknown Speaker He's number six. Speaker 2 He argued that he was near the top. We just got to see the guy carry water. Why are you bringing this guy? Speaker 1 He runs the bar. So he's running the bar and outside. This is Vietnam War era right outside is a protest protesting the war. That's all like the Colonel's in there. He's washing his glasses, and he's talking to Chicky. Donohue, and he's like, he's like, he's like, man, look at all these commies out here, protesting the war. Because like, he's like, he's like, someone's gonna do something about this. He's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, our soldiers are out there. They're overseas. They're fighting for freedom. That's all I'm saying. And ain't nobody supporting them. Everyone's back here Speaker 2 doing this. And that was the resentment at the blue collar class. Exactly. Yes. Yeah, exactly. Speaker 1 And Chicky and this guy are in like a flywheel like rubbing each other up. Right? So yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's gonna do something for them. No, no, no, no, no. It's a tricky. Tricky, it's like, yeah, someone should buy him a beer. He's like, he's like, Speaker 2 oh, yeah, dude, who really gets the worst free beers all his friends outside. He's like, Yeah, we should buy a beers. You know, what we should also do? We should give them $100. And, and, and this is important, you know, and like, Let's pay off all their debt. And, you know, we just did all these nice things for them. Tell the hottest girl in the bar, go kiss him on the lips. Unknown Speaker He wasn't talking about the people outside. He was talking about the Speaker 2 guy down. Don't write that down. I usually don't like sometimes the out of context close to the beginning are pretty well. Speaker 1 Okay, though he wasn't talking about the people. He wasn't talking about the protesters. He was talking about soldiers. He said someone needs to fire soldiers a beer. So they know. Okay, there's people back home. Support them. Sure. And the carnal is like Yeah, yeah. Someone needs to go by those guys appear. They need to know. They need to understand that they're important everyone. And Tiki was like, yeah, and then the conversation you noticed kind of fizzled. The night goes on. Then Speaker 2 he goes, Hey, guys, your plane ticket to Vietnam. You're gonna go buy him some beers. He goes, Speaker 1 Oh, and it goes back and he goes back the next day. And he comes in there. And the mom of one of his childhood friends who's serving in Vietnam, is there at the bar. And the colonel is like, hey, Chucky, is like check it out. He's like, he's like, I got Tom's mom here. I told them, you're going out there. You're gonna visit him. You're gonna check on him. Make sure he's okay. And Chicky was like, what? Unknown Speaker Oh, no. Speaker 2 It's mom was like, would you take this blanket from his childhood, please? Speaker 1 Is a Chicky. Chicky was like, Yeah, I did say I was gonna do that. I'll find he was a trade merchant. And so he was a sailor. He sailed out to Vietnam to do deliveries. He'd been a couple times. And so he just was like, Yeah, have you been? I'm going to do that? No. No. My Twitter bio is Speaker 2 such a hard left turn indicative of a low IQ. That's me. I'm breaking the fourth wall. I Unknown Speaker said, whatever. The middle thing. Sorry, Speaker 2 trying to explain it to you. Go ahead. What is your Twitter? Speaker 1 My Twitter bio is just I've never been to Italy. And Unknown Speaker are you hoping to just one day change it? Speaker 1 No. I think it's a really funny thing. Like someone's like, Hey, tell me about yourself. I've never been Speaker 2 on my Facebook bio. This is real on my Facebook page. Because on Facebook pages, it's different. It's not prominent. Yeah, it doesn't matter. They changed it every once in a while and every once awhile my bio will pop up and I forgot that years ago. years ago I wrote knows someone who knows Nellies uncle who was one of the early Nelly Oh like the rapper Nelly. Yeah, as the good Nellie Bly Nelly is from St. Louis. Yeah. And so one of the Starbucks baristas was like, Yeah, I'm actually like, kind of friends was his uncle. And I was like, I know someone who knows now his uncle. Anyway, that's so dumb. Hey, thanks checking out this episode. If you liked this one. Or if you don't like this one. There's so many other ones. Alright, if you're halfway through this one, and you're like, I hate this. I want to go check out the Richmond TV vigilante. It's an episode we did a while ago. It's a little bit of a shorter one. But one morning in Richmond, Virginia. He's people wake up with just TVs on their front porch. No idea where they came from until one person check their ring doorbell footage and got a decent surprise. So Richmond TV vigilante is a great episode. If you're gonna go check that out later. But for now, back to this one Unknown Speaker so yeah, so tricky. I've Speaker 2 been to Italy. Have you know, dinner thing so, Speaker 1 so tiki, tiki is like oh, I'll do it. I'll do it because I don't know how I'm gonna do it. But I'll do it. Speaker 2 Just on like a I guess I'll go like How old is he at this point? Speaker 1 I mean, you saw him in that picture. I don't know how old he was at the time, I would guess. I don't know. 30 Unknown Speaker Okay. 30 years old. Unknown Speaker Yeah, probably. How old? Do you think that guy is? Speaker 2 35 And actually, I don't want to ages this guy. Speaker 1 This guy was He was born in 41. This happened in November of 67. So he was 26 Unknown Speaker this keeps happening. This has happened to me like six times this just Speaker 2 keeps happening to us where we go Frick do that. That. Unknown Speaker Do we? Good? We look fine. We look fine. Unknown Speaker Yeah, we don't look like I Speaker 2 was talking about doll hole or a hands on the hips. Speaker 1 That is one thing though. We have the mustache. Yeah, I thought about this a lot. I've thought about this a lot. Like a lot. The reason this looks old to us is because these people still dress like this. And that is that is weighted Speaker 2 to us. Do you think we're still gonna dress like this when we're like, I'm curious. Speaker 1 Like when we get old like is our style like there's skinny jeans gonna make people think of 75 year olds. Like look at that old Unknown Speaker dude and skinny jeans were women's pants. Speaker 1 is skinny jean. No one wears jeans anymore. Man and his his oily beard. Speaker 2 No one covers their knees anymore, man. Let those knees breathe. The science is clear. No one wears Unknown Speaker clothes anymore, man. Look at that old guy. And as Speaker 2 you joke, but that might that might be where our society goes. So he's 26 years old. This what I'm saying is not on a whim. But like, kind of it's almost a barbette honestly, yeah. Where it's just like, Hey, man. Well, and also you're pressured by Tom's mom. Speaker 1 The curtilage I love the Kirtle left that night. And he taught me over here. Let's remember this picture real quick. Yeah, the criminals the bartender. Yeah. Chicky is Speaker 2 a patron left called Tom's mom. Yeah. And he's like, You got to think like, he's like, Hey, Unknown Speaker he's the sober minded one. Mama Unknown Speaker Tama. You got to come down here tomorrow. Speaker 1 He's like tomorrow, come out to the check up here in the afternoon. I got a I got a special surprise. Unknown Speaker He's going Speaker 1 it's a tricky, tricky is like, Ah, I guess I'll figure it out. So he went back to the trade union. And he was like, Hey, do we got any ships doing any deliveries out to Vietnam anytime soon? I'm like, Well, what do you know? We got one leaving in two weeks. You want to be a part of that job mission? I don't know. What are they call that in the Speaker 2 mission? What are they trade? What are they doing? What's his job? It's Speaker 1 just a merchant ship. And so he there's just got a bunch of containers out there. He's a merchant. He's a trade merchant. What does that even Speaker 2 mean? I don't know. He writes sounds like a job from the 1300s I don't Speaker 1 know he maybe he loads the crates onto the boats and then gets there and loads them off. And then Unknown Speaker he's an Amazon driver from the 60s Speaker 1 Yeah, for the ocean for over the ocean. Okay. Yeah. But anyway, so he gets a trip to Vietnam over Speaker 2 the ocean and through the waves to Vietnam we go. Speaker 1 So he lands his job from it was a ship that was traveling from New York to Unknown Speaker Vietnam just say Vietnam. We are in Speaker 1 Vietnam, but I want to the city is you know, Nan and that's not a joke. It's que Wanda city. It's okay, it's qu I space n h o n. I think it's just q naught. Okay, it's my guess. But anyways, so that's where he's docking. And he he he came with a burlap sack with keep T loose cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon Unknown Speaker and loose cannons Speaker 2 we know how many soldiers are over there because he's just like I've got a bag of beers. What is this? What is a loaded up Brahms? Bring a bag of beers Speaker 1 he's not looking for he's not going to give beers to all the owners for Tom's Unknown Speaker mom's design for Speaker 1 for specific soldiers. I Speaker 2 mean to even have Lately, I've been making little stupid jokes and a wink after Speaker 1 he's been. He's been. He's looking for for specific people who are from his area in Manhattan, his neighborhood, you're busy. He knows them all. So he's, he's looking for a Tom Collins. Okay. He was a member of the 127 Military Police Company. And then he's looking for Kevin Nick loon. Rick Dugan, who I don't know what company they're a part of. And Bobby Papas also don't know what's he Speaker 2 just landing and being like, Hey, I got a list of names. And I've got a special delivery for them. That's the Speaker 1 thing. He doesn't really have a plan. He knows he knows how he's going to try to trick the military. And so what he's gonna do is he's like, he's like, I'm going to do my merchanting and then I'm gonna go find the US outpost in that city. And I'm be like, Hey, I'm looking for my brother Tom. He serves. Our mom just died. I'm coming to let him know that news. And might be Unknown Speaker a surprise surprise Speaker 2 Please don't ruin what's in the bag? So what's in the bag? Her ashes? It's those things when you're looking at a burlap sack. Be here's in it, kinda. There's just can't you see the cans? In the burlap sack. Speaker 1 Well, that's why I wasn't gonna go Ash is I was gonna go confetti poppers. Unknown Speaker We really Speaker 1 did not like her. No. So he he lands. He finds this outpost and he sees one of the military police guys with the patch on his shoulder that says 127 He's like, That's Tom's. That's Tom's outfit. And so he says Hey, is that I know Tom Collins, Tom Collins. He is He is a military policeman with you guys. So he's one of you. Okay. And he told me Unknown Speaker he's with you guys. Speaker 1 He tells him the sob story. With his little burlap sack of beers dressed in his weird hat and his Unknown Speaker Amiga.

No know Speaker 1 the police guy shows up to Dad's quarters. And he walks in the room and Tom like double takes and he's like, What are you doing here? Because like their childhood Speaker 1 and the military police officer leaves. He's like, he's like, I'll give you guys a moment. And he's burlap sack, lays it on the bed and opens it up and it's just 18 Pabst Blue ribbons because you get four of these. And he's like, I came here to have a beer with you. And he was like, what? And so I told him about the whole meeting with Speaker 2 the colonel. made me do it. Anyway. I don't have any better to do. So they drink all the beer. Anything going on? Yeah, I'm a kind of war right now. Oh, about that. Date and It like, he's just trying to compare life problems. Yeah. Speaker 1 No. Yeah. So the two of them they they drink all the beers. Wow. And then they went and they found some of Tom's buddies. And they went out on the town and Nam and they went to like some guys were celebrating believe a police guy was like, weird grieving. Unknown Speaker I love music Speaker 1 so they're going out on the town, right? There's nothing there. I don't know. Clubs. Sure. They're well get in VIP, you know? You know the thing. It's kind of hard not to get seated at VIP when you and your 12 your closest buddies walk in with him. sixteens. Speaker 2 Yeah. So there's hardly anyone out there, isn't it? Is that what you want? Is that what you want to say? That's what you want on the internet. Unknown Speaker Yeah, that's fine. It's it'll be out of context. You want special Unknown Speaker treatment at a restaurant? Or huge guns Speaker 2 the audio listeners, Zac Efron's bicep on screen. Very funny. Very funny. What do you think that measurement is? We should Google that. We should we should look it up. So they're out partying or VIP and Speaker 1 they're having a good time. And while he's at this club, there's another group of Vietnam VIPs I guess they're not veterans, yet the Vietnam soldiers, but therefore the US American soldiers. Okay, and so they're there in the in the club, and he notices that they're wearing the same patch of the next two guys on his on his list. Kevin and Kevin mcloon and Rick Duggan, Unknown Speaker basic. Hey, I'm their brother. Speaker 1 So he does the same thing. He goes up to them at the bar. And he said, Hey, he said, Hey, I'm looking for. For Rick Duggan. He chooses just one of them. He said, I'm looking for Rick, Doug and his brother, our mother passed away. I'm trying to find him. Can you get me to him? And he said, Oh, yeah, he's way up on the north end of Vietnam. He's like, look, we're going up there in the morning. He's like, if you could be at the tarmac at 800 hours tomorrow, we'll give you a lift. And he's like, deal. And so the next morning, he wakes up doesn't have any more beer. And he hitches a ride Unknown Speaker what's good, you can't bring that amount of fluid on a plane. Speaker 1 He shows up, he hits his stride up to this area called Shau Valley. Okay, and this was an interesting spot in 67. So he just leaves Unknown Speaker Tom. Yeah, he's Speaker 1 like he's like, Hey, we got your drink. Got your I got Speaker 2 my life mission is done. Good luck with whatever you're doing. Yeah. I Unknown Speaker hope you have a good one. Unknown Speaker I don't know what any of this but I'm glad you're here. But yeah, Speaker 1 I mean, I hope it's all good for you. So he goes, he goes to the shop out in the shop Valley at the time was the Northern Front of the war. So they hadn't explored this northern end of Vietnam yet. Right. So there was kind of this this I don't want to say like Northern offensive but it kind of was they were like pushing through the jungle and setting up little outposts here and there as they made it through. And it was very uncharted territory. I mean, if the Vietnam War there was tunnels and there's bombs and there was hidden stuff like it was, it was Unknown Speaker tough tunnels through bombs. Oh my. Speaker 1 It was tough to move through the jungle. Before it was like Target so it was a very dangerous side of Vietnam. Sure.

Because now he's gonna have to travel 500 meters, which isn't that long. a minefield, but through a minefield in the jungle. Yeah. And it's tough terrain. And so he's like, he's like, I gotta, I gotta take this trip alone, to take this trip alone through all this tough terrain. Unknown Speaker How bad is it though? And if he doesn't make it through, you know, if you're like, honestly, whatever, you're coming up, Unknown Speaker and you're like, all the moms are there waiting. Speaker 2 Yeah, he would have been fine if it wasn't for you and your stupid red ribbon. So he makes a lot of blue ribbon beer. He makes it through their mind.

It gets up to the camp, and they make it spoiler, spoiler, they made it and they had beers. While they were out there. They were like they're like, Yeah, we probably shouldn't like have you out here just like dressing like your dressing. It's like give them a jacket, at least. So it can fit in but he's got his little white khakis on still. Yeah. And all of them are out there and they had some some canned food that they give the soldiers and he got to eat that and he said it wasn't good. And he stayed the night with him.

Okay, now they're drinking beer, but they're also in war in the jungle, like, actually in war now. Like they're in the jungle. They've got tents set up. As Speaker 2 you guys go out into town, and they're like, No, we blew up. Oh, okay. Unknown Speaker There's no word out. Unknown Speaker Yeah, we don't do that out here.

Like, they did get ambushed. And there was a firefight and he said Chicky in his documentary, he's like, he's like, that's the moment when I was like, I think I'm gonna stay here. This I don't know if I should be here, Speaker 2 you know? So all the soldiers felt that way. They were like, I didn't have to do this. I wouldn't be here. Why am I here? That's 100% you know, break man, Speaker 1 I'd say stays the night with them. And it was a stressful night, a very tense, tense combat night. But he makes it through the night. Morning. Spent all the beers again, all the perhaps red ribbon. And then he gets escorted back to camp rides the plane back down to Q anon. And on that trip, somehow he found word that Bobby Papas, which sounds like a fake but that Bobby Bobby Papa sounds Unknown Speaker like like a pizza joint in Chicago. Speaker 1 I can see that I was gonna say sounds like a character from Backyard Baseball. Speaker 2 Oh, yeah. True. Bobby Pappas.

Speaker 1 So he gets down there. And he manages to get a lift up to the camp outside of Saigon, sure to see Bobby papas. And, again, found some beer, they have their beers, whatever. They're hanging out. And he asked him how things were going up on the Northern Front. And Chicky he was like, he didn't know the answer the question, but they're just hanging out. They're having some beers. And so he's just like, said something. And so what he told him and he said, Ah, that was just to get to the negotiation table. He's like, we're on the tail end of this thing. They're figuring it out right now. Oh, no, it's 67 there. It goes until 75. Yeah, they're not close to figuring it out.
