Podcast Transcription
| Dan: | Episode 230. Did I say that right, according to Vicki, 230? |
| Chris: | I don’t know. Say it again. |
| Dan: | 230 |
| Chris: | Yeah, you said it right. |
| Dan: | Okay. Got to make sure. |
| Chris: | D, D, hundred. A hundred. |
| Dan: | Hundred. You can, but if you’re going to say hundred, you got to hit the whole word and make sure you hit the N |
| Chris: | And the D. Hundred. |
| Dan: | All right. Let’s move on past things nobody else knows about, but Chris and I. Let’s see. Might as well start with the Tyson Paul fight. Yeah, I was… Well, their actual fight was incredibly disappointing. The chicks before that… |
| Chris: | Was so awesome. |
| Matt: | [inaudible 00:00:58]. |
| Chris: | I know |
| Dan: | Oh my God. The way it kept flapping. |
| Chris: | That last round was insane, dude. |
| Dan: | She was waving at Taylor like, hey, just go ahead and knock me out. |
| Matt: | If someone could just stop this fight, please. |
| Dan: | I can’t believe they let it keep going. |
| Chris: | And they were right, man. She was headbutting her leading with her head the whole time. But anyway. |
| Dan: | Yeah. I was sitting there and obviously there was a lot of issues on social media of buffering issues. |
| Chris: | I didn’t have any issue. |
| Dan: | There was a lot of people that didn’t, but as we have in this society today, those that do have a problem are oftentimes louder than the ones that don’t have a problem. But my point to the whole thing, and as I was sitting there enjoying some beers at the wonderful, full-fledged brewing company was if a company that can be credited with creating the streaming world that we live in is having streaming issues, how many fucking people are watching this? |
| Matt: | Oh yeah. |
| Dan: | And I heard somewhere north of 300 million. |
| Matt: | You would think they would do a test run with… |
| Chris: | This was a test run for NFL. |
| Dan: | How do you test run? |
| Chris: | This was a test run for NFL. |
| Dan: | This might have been a test run for NFL. |
| Chris: | Trust me, the only way you’re going to be able to watch NFL on Christmas day is if you have Netflix. This was a hundred percent a test. And I was thinking about this. I bet you that’s how Jake Paul sold it. Like, hey, you guys are going to be doing streaming NFL games. Like let’s test this. This will push your bandwidth, I guarantee it. So yeah, 300 million. Really? Is that what they said? |
| Dan: | That’s what I heard. |
| Chris: | Jesus. |
| Mark: | That is the population approximately of the United States. |
| Chris: | Yeah. It’s insane. |
| Matt: | It was a joke of a fight though. |
| Chris: | Yeah, it was, man. |
| Dan: | Peak at 65. |
| Chris: | Okay, okay. |
| Dan: | Which I was thinking how many people watch the Super Bowl? That’s in the couple hundred million, right? |
| Matt: | I would assume so. |
| Dan: | Yeah. But still for them to have streaming issues like that, that was crazy. |
| Matt: | It was not enjoyable. |
| Dan: | Yeah, that sucked a lot. |
| Chris: | 123 million. So it’s about double that. It’s about double |
| Dan: | For the NFL? For people watching the Super Bowl? |
| Matt: | And did we see the ring girl who’s the real winner of Friday? |
| Dan: | I saw him. |
| Matt: | The blonde. |
| Dan: | The blonde, |
| Matt: | The blonde that they’re making such a big deal out of. |
| Dan: | Oh. |
| Matt: | Let’s see if I can find her picture. |
| Chris: | Yeah, she’s a very attractive girl. |
| Matt: | Lots of oil. |
| Dan: | We all did see Mike Tyson’s ass. |
| Chris: | That was funny. |
| Dan: | Yeah. I love that there’s a… |
| Chris: | Tyson held back, man. |
| Dan: | He did. God. |
| Chris: | I don’t know, him biting his gloves. |
| Matt: | He’s always done that. |
| Chris: | I know, but I just… |
| Mark: | Yeah, she’s kind of hot. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | I wouldn’t kick her out of bed. |
| Matt: | She definitely won the night. |
| Mark: | Her boobs are too big though. |
| Dan: | I kept thinking as the fight was going on, Tyson’s just doing the Rocky thing. Let Paul punch his way out and Tyson would kind of use his experience and find openings and then it would just take one or two punches and it’d be over with. And as we got into the final round, I’m like, you got to be fucking kidding me. |
| Chris: | He stumbled walking down the freaking ramp. Had trouble getting into the ring. When I saw this, I was like, why did I just… Well, I sat here to watch the fights before this because this is going to be a joke, man. I was like, this is my childhood. Why am I doing this to myself? |
| Matt: | Tyson just looked old. He didn’t look bad |
| Mark: | For his age he’s in incredibly good shape. |
| Matt: | Oh, I bet he could fuck up a lot of other 58 year olds. |
| Chris: | Sure. His footwork was obviously [inaudible 00:04:42]. |
| Mark: | Just not Jake Paul. |
| Matt: | He was very flatfooted, which Tyson wasn’t known for his footwork when he fought. |
| Dan: | Well, that was also kind of his… How many matches did he end in the first round? |
| Matt: | I remember watching him knock out Leon Spinks in 90 seconds with a punch to the chest. |
| Chris: | People were so mad about that freaking fight because it was pay per view. |
| Dan: | I would’ve been. I was [inaudible 00:05:01] |
| Chris: | Yeah well, it’s pay-per-view that… |
| Dan: | Back when Tyson, the Tyson pay-per-view fights were like 7,500 bucks. |
| Mark: | And that was in the eighties. |
| Dan: | Right. |
| Matt: | 4,050. 4,050. But still in 1991… |
| Dan: | If you paid that much money to watch to watch a fight that ends in 90 seconds… |
| Matt: | My dad was pissed. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | Well, it’s also like the ear biting incident. We had lived through the arc of his storyline at that point. He was the heel, Tyson was… Everybody was like Holyfield, Holyfield. And when that bite happened, it was like, people were pissed. |
| Dan: | And I love the people that are complaining. They want their money back for the streaming fight. I’m like, how much did you pay for it with your Netflix subscription that you already had. |
| Matt: | 6,99. |
| Dan: | Like shut up. Just deal with it. Shut up. |
| Matt: | What do they want like a dollar back? |
| Dan: | I know. That’s what I’m saying. Okay, we’ll take your average length of viewing and we’ll break it down over your bill and we’ll give you your 10 cents back. |
| Matt: | I wonder how many people joined just to see the fight. |
| Dan: | That is… Well, let’s see if Aunt Google knows. |
| Matt: | That’s what I’m curious about. Because then it is just pay-per-view. |
| Dan: | Don’t believe they’ve said. If Google can’t find it, they haven’t said yet. They may not want to. Anyways, so that was the Tyson fight on Friday. |
| Matt: | Yep. How was your weekend, Dan? |
| Dan: | God, it was… Always busy, but yeah, finally got the chicken coop winterized. |
| Mark: | You weren’t busy working? |
| Dan: | No. Well, I was working. |
| Matt: | Just at home |
| Dan: | I worked on Saturday and worked on Sunday and worked at night. |
| Mark: | One shift a week and then only half those. |
| Matt: | It was pretty funny when Dan heard that everyone was in California and it was going to be slow. He is like, maybe I’ll just call Brett and see if he wants to work. |
| Dan: | I feel like such a dick. I did need Sunday off to just finish stuff. |
| Matt: | There was still a good crowd. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | It’s just not the normal. |
| Mark: | He’s still made 200 bucks. |
| Dan: | We don’t need to go into detail, but I always do miss bartending at the pub. Because I do enjoy sitting here and I do enjoy doing the bartending and meeting the… It’s a fun job. |
| Matt: | It is. |
| Dan: | But I definitely took full advantage yesterday. |
| Matt: | Hey, you got to keep the chickens warm. |
| Dan: | Like I said, not only did I get the chicken coop finished on Saturday, so it’s all winterized ready for the freezing temperatures this coming week, but also got the garage cleaned out, got the snow blower oil changed and greased up and tuned up and ready to go. |
| Matt: | You change your own snow blower oil or do you make Sarah do it? |
| Dan: | I do it. |
| Matt: | Unscrew that screw. Let the shit drip out. |
| Dan: | Come back in three hours when it’s done. Slowly dripping. |
| Matt: | Sarah. |
| Chris: | What did she do? |
| Dan: | Huh? |
| Chris: | There’s a story behind this. So what did she do? |
| Dan: | No, nothing. |
| Chris: | Oh. |
| Matt: | No. I was just seeing if he taught her how to do it so that he can be like, well, I’m going to winterize the chicken coop and not kill the ducks today. And you change the oil in the snow blower. |
| Dan: | Yeah. No, we worked great together. We actually had a conversation about it Sunday night. Usually when we work that closely together for that long, we get into a big fight because I’m doing work and she’s sitting on her phone. I’m looking things up. Okay. On reels? Really? And then that’s usually what precipitates the fight. But we’ve got a lot of shit done and had a great dinner Sunday night and watched the Chiefs fall into the category with everybody else as… |
| Matt: | Losers. |
| Dan: | Losers. |
| Matt: | It was a good game though. |
| Dan: | It was a good game. Yeah. |
| Mark: | The Bengals game was, even though they lost it was a better game. It was a good game. |
| Matt: | I thought the Bengals game was a good game to watch too. Just it ended the way it ended. What can you do? |
| Chris: | I’ve been lied to. I have been hurt. I have been now 46 years old and realize that I am… |
| Dan: | I might leave it there. |
| Chris: | 46 years old and realized that I’ve been in an abusive relationship for 43 of those years. Just don’t know what I’m going to do with my life. Just glad to have my Sundays back, I guess. It’s the day of the Lord anyway. |
| Matt: | You should probably email Boomer [inaudible 00:09:37] and see how he feels. |
| Chris: | No, I know how he feels. |
| Matt: | He’s rich. |
| Dan: | Just keep remembering the scene from Goodwill Hunting. |
| Chris: | No. |
| Dan: | It’s not your fault. |
| Chris: | I know it’s not my fault. It’s stupid ownership’s fault. |
| Dan: | It’s not your fault. |
| Chris: | It’s stupid ownership’s fault. They’re never going… Nope. It’s just… Nope, we’re done. Football’s done. Stupid, stupid football. |
| Dan: | Speaking of stupid ownership, I keep seeing articles that Dion Sanders is the candidate to take over as head coach next year for the Cowboys. And I was talking to a… Actually, I was talking to, I think it was nearly blind James about it. That’s never going to happen because then the head coach would be the bigger show than Jerry Jones. And Jerry Jones can’t let that happen. Especially if the head coach actually turned out to be successful. |
| Matt: | That actually makes perfectly good sense. |
| Dan: | Right. So that won’t be happening. |
| Matt: | Jerry Jones does like his TV time. |
| Dan: | Just amazingly bad. |
| Mark: | He is the only owner in the NFL that made his money on the NFL. |
| Dan: | Really? How did he buy the team? |
| Mark: | Kansas City had, before the Chiefs, a team that wanted to move to Dallas and he bought them, but it was back when buying team was like a million bucks. |
| Dan: | I thought Kansas City had had a team since the fifties. |
| Mark: | Lamar, is it Lamar Hunt? |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | But I thought the original Kansas City team became the Cowboys and then they had different, I don’t know. |
| Dan: | Could be. |
| Mark: | I am 105, but my memory’s not good. |
| Matt: | It happens. |
| Dan: | Let’s see, college football career, Dallas Cowboys on February 25th, 1989, Jones purchased the Cowboys from HR Bum Bright. |
| Matt: | H&R Puff and Stuffs. |
| Dan: | For 140 mil. |
| Chris: | Dang. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | That’s nothing compared to what they sell for now. Nothing. |
| Chris: | I know. |
| Dan: | Oh my God, I didn’t even know this and this fits perfectly into my theory. The next line is, soon after purchasing the Cowboys, Jones fired longtime legendary head coach Tom Landry. |
| Matt: | Tom Landry. Yeah. Yeah. Landry had coached there forever. |
| Chris: | Isn’t that when they hired Jimmy? |
| Dan: | I believe that is when they hired Jimmy Johnson. |
| Chris: | When did he fire Jimmy Johnson? Because that’s the mistake. Tom Landry was getting old. I get it. They weren’t really doing too much. But their mess-up was getting rid of that coach. |
| Dan: | After the ’92 season. |
| Chris: | Was this after they won the Super Bowl three times in four years or whatever it was? |
| Dan: | Yeah. Jones, I think Jones quit on his, or Johnson quit on his own. He was sick and tired of… |
| Chris: | He did? |
| Dan: | I think so. |
| Mark: | Jeremiah, if you’re listening to this, your wife left [inaudible 00:13:00] ball at the bar, which is too large for either of my dogs to play with. |
| Dan: | Anyways. Matt, how was your weekend? |
| Matt: | It was good. |
| Dan: | Or do you want to go with Mark and finish? |
| Matt: | That’s all right. Worked Friday night, which I got here and promptly locked my keys in the car. |
| Chris: | Oh, that’s a good start. |
| Matt: | Yeah, that sucked. I worked Friday night. We had an okay crowd. Tried to watch the fight. Didn’t work so well. |
| Dan: | Oh, did you have the fight on here? |
| Matt: | We tried to. Kevin told some people that we were going to have it and we weren’t very busy. |
| Mark: | My worry was just, I could see Netflix going to certain markets and just hiring somebody to walk in every bar. Because you know no bar paid for it. They all used their home Netflix account. |
| Dan: | Which I don’t think it’s illegal to have Netflix in a commercial setting. |
| Matt: | I don’t know. |
| Chris: | I know there’s some… I know it [inaudible 00:14:02] |
| Matt: | I know it used to be illegal to have cable in a bar and play a movie because of licensing rights and all that stuff, so I don’t know what it is anymore, nor do I really care. |
| Dan: | To Mark’s point, I know that BMI and ASCAP are the two agencies that protect licenses for artists. Okay, two big ones then. |
| Mark: | They’re the two main, but there’s one for basically religious music and then there’s one that some people got pissed off at ASCAP and the left. I know when I was doing live music, they all called me. |
| Dan: | Yeah, I got two points on that. I’ll finish my first thought was that there are agents for both BMI and ASCAP that go around. And if you’re playing the radio in your bar- |
| Matt: | There’s one that was in Omaha. |
| Dan: | Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. They’re here. That’s what I’m saying. |
| Chris: | They are not liked. They don’t let people know what their job is because it will get out. |
| Dan: | Right. They walk in, they make note of it, they leave, they report to their superiors, and then that bar will get a cease and desist or a letter to pay the fee. |
| Matt: | A bill, basically. |
| Dan: | Yeah. Two, don’t you think it’s a little funny that… Well, I guess I shouldn’t say that. Never mind. I’m going to go a different route with that, so never mind. I’m ignoring number two, but how was your weekend other than Friday? |
| Matt: | Good. Saturday. I napped during the Husker game because that’s all it was worth. Then we went roller skating for my brother’s 51st birthday. |
| Dan: | Really? |
| Mark: | Who was the only person to fall down? |
| Matt: | The only person to fall down was my brother. |
| Dan: | Oh, wow. |
| Matt: | Which there are multiple pictures from different angles of him falling. |
| Chris: | Where did you guys go? |
| Matt: | There’s only one roller skating rink left in the Omaha metro area and it’s in Bellevue. It’s called Skate City. |
| Chris: | I knew it. Okay, that’s what I was wondering. |
| Dan: | Yeah, because Skate Days closed a couple years ago. |
| Matt: | Yes, and one of our old customers, the company he worked for at the time, bought it. |
| Dan: | Bought the building? |
| Matt: | Bought the building. And then after roller skating, which was fun, my legs feel kind of linguine-ish today. We went to Johnny’s Cafe down on, what’s it, 26th Street or whatever. |
| Mark: | 26th and [inaudible 00:16:09]. |
| Dan: | Is that one… Is Johnny’s closing or is there a different location that closed. |
| Matt: | Johnny’s out west closed, which I heard that the company that owns the buildings is raising rent substantially, which is why there’s some people leaving. |
| Dan: | Yeah. There’s a lot of restaurants around Omaha that are closing because apparently, I don’t know if it’s the same real estate company or land ownership company that has decided to raise rent on all these bars and restaurants. |
| Matt: | Yeah. I don’t know. |
| Dan: | And they’ve just decided, well, we can’t handle that increase. |
| Matt: | Oh, and you’re almost doubling rent. That’s a lot. |
| Dan: | Yeah. It’s ridiculous. How was your Sunday? |
| Matt: | Yesterday I golfed. It was a little chilly. I golfed pretty well. And then I came up to the bar and had a couple drinks and grabbed some Taco Bell and went home. |
| Dan: | Nice. |
| Matt: | I highly recommend the grilled cheese steak burrito. |
| Dan: | Oh, those grilled steak burritos. |
| Matt: | It was really good. |
| Dan: | Did you get cheese on top? |
| Mark: | Wait, wait, wait. You’re talking about Taco Bell? |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | I have owned a bar across street from Taco Bell for 17 years, do you know how many times I’ve eaten that crap? Twice. |
| Dan: | That’s your loss. |
| Mark: | And convince me never to do it again. |
| Matt: | Well, the ground beef is disgusting. The steak and the chicken and stuff is pretty okay. |
| Dan: | Agreed. Taco Bell’s best ingredient is a long night of drinking. |
| Matt: | Oh yeah, booze. |
| Dan: | At one o’clock, two o’clock in the morning when it’s time to get home and curl up into bed, you get yourself just… |
| Mark: | And wake up in his chair with a burrito all over your chest. |
| Matt: | I’d like to say it’s never happened, but I’ve done that with McDonald’s. I’ve done that when McDonald’s was open until like three in the morning or whatever. Stupid COVID. |
| Dan: | I’ve woken up to my dog eating the leftovers off my chest. Yeah. Luckily, never throwing up then the dog eating that. |
| Matt: | That’d be gross. |
| Dan: | Yeah, because I’m a man… |
| Chris: | That would make you throw up again. That would make me throw up again [inaudible 00:18:19]. |
| Matt: | Just throw up on the back of the dog. Uh-oh. Everyone stop. |
| Dan: | They just [inaudible 00:18:25]. |
| Matt: | Everybody stop. |
| Chris: | That was not planned. |
| Dan: | Packers handled the Bears pretty well. |
| Matt: | They did. The Packers kicked the shit out of the Bears. Well, not really kicked the shit out of them, but they won. |
| Dan: | They beat them again. |
| Matt: | That’s all that matters. |
| Dan: | And it looked like, man, it was just such a teasy way because it looked like the Bears had it but a missed field goal… Was it blocked? |
| Matt: | I don’t remember. |
| Dan: | I think it was blocked. |
| Chris: | Man, what? That made me sweat. I’m sorry. |
| Dan: | I changed he subject to help you. |
| Chris: | I know you did. |
| Dan: | I would like it noted, please, that I was nice to you at least once today. I changed the subject. |
| Chris: | I didn’t plan on doing that, okay. I didn’t plan on doing that. That wasn’t planned. |
| Dan: | I would like it stricken into the record. Not stricken to the record. I would like it in the record. |
| Matt: | You would like it noted. |
| Dan: | Yes, please. |
| Matt: | Coffee? |
| Chris: | Yes, please. |
| Dan: | Still fighting it back. I believe the Bear’s game winning field goal was blocked, but yeah, interesting. |
| Matt: | Yeah, to be honest with you, I did not see the very end of the game. |
| Dan: | No? |
| Matt: | No. I was driving somewhere else. I don’t remember where. Probably home or Taco Bell. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | One of the two. Go Pack go |
| Dan: | Go pack go. Mark. |
| Mark: | Uneventful. |
| Dan: | Yeah. Your Dodgers are off, Creighton’s early season, so it’s kind of like, eh. |
| Chris: | They’re undefeated. |
| Mark: | They’re undefeated. They only played the starters for the first half and then the whole bench played. They were playing, yes, you know it. University of Missouri at Kansas City Kangaroos. |
| Matt: | What? They played a team that the mascots were the kangaroos? |
| Mark: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | That’s silly. |
| Mark: | The UMKC Kangaroos scheduled their pre-season by saying, okay, who’s going to pay us the most to come in and get our asses kicked? |
| Matt: | And that’s fair. |
| Mark: | But it pays for their program for the whole year. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Which you can’t be mad at them for going for a payday. |
| Dan: | Not at all. |
| Matt: | I’m pretty sure Nebraska football’s going to be one of those teams here eventually. |
| Dan: | It’s seeming like it which by the way, seeming? |
| Chris: | Semen? Oh sorry. |
| Matt: | They’re going to turn into North Dakota. |
| Dan: | Seemingly. |
| Matt: | Seemingly. |
| Dan: | Chris. All of a sudden Chris tunes in on semen. |
| Matt: | Semen? What? I am kind of hungry. |
| Chris: | We’re in the Navy. |
| Matt: | Be all that you can be. |
| Mark: | No, that’s the army. |
| Matt: | It is but I don’t want to sing a God smack song. |
| Dan: | I did see the first supposed Husker fan call for Dylan Raiola to be benched, “Let’s end this D2 mistake and move forward.” The kid is 19. |
| Matt: | Wow. |
| Mark: | He is a 19-year-old freshman. |
| Dan: | God bless it. |
| Chris: | You know that’s what I was worried about. |
| Matt: | God bless it. What are you 70? |
| Dan: | It’s remarkable. He’s what, eight games into his Husker career? |
| Mark: | Yes. |
| Dan: | And that’s all that… Granted, I take- |
| Mark: | Nine games. Sorry. |
| Dan: | It’s one Husker fan. |
| Matt: | Hey, Husker fans. |
| Dan: | [inaudible 00:21:56] the spring game? |
| Matt: | No, he looked great in the spring game. |
| Dan: | Okay, well… |
| Chris: | It’s because he was playing against that defense. |
| Matt: | Well, the thing is he looks like he’s playing really timid, really scared. |
| Mark: | The only thing that strikes me about him is he is slow. |
| Matt: | Yeah. He looks like a tight end. |
| Mark: | Watch him scramble. He is not quick. |
| Matt: | He looks like a tight end when he runs on the field. Which is not a compliment. But I’d like to see what Heinrich can do. I mean, he’s proven that he can come out and make stuff happen, so why not let him do his thing. Which they’re not even using him as a running back or a receiver very often and the guy’s fast, good hands. |
| Dan: | I don’t know. I saw that and I’m like, wow, this was actually earlier than I expected. |
| Matt: | Oh, I figured it would’ve happened a couple games ago. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | After he hurt his back or whatever. |
| Dan: | Amazing stuff. All right, Chris, did you want to talk about your weekend? |
| Chris: | No, I didn’t do anything. It was just a weekend. Bengals lost. Huskers lost. |
| Matt: | You just sat in a closet all weekend. |
| Chris: | I did. It was just dumb. I hate football. |
| Dan: | Apparently that was the cool thing to do. |
| Chris: | I actually did pick up, I put the Halloween stuff up in the attic, so yeah, I did. |
| Matt: | That’s a lot of stuff. |
| Chris: | Raked up some leaves. |
| Dan: | We finally got most of our Halloween stuff cleaned up. |
| Matt: | You know how you solve that? You just don’t put anything out for Halloween. |
| Dan: | I love doing that Halloween stuff though. It sucks putting it out and picking it up, but we love doing it. [inaudible 00:23:39] shit load of money. |
| Matt: | I just yell boo at little kids. |
| Dan: | All right, Mark, should we get to some whiskey drinking? |
| Mark: | The tall one, Matt? |
| Dan: | That is a very interesting bottle. |
| Chris: | Look how light that looks. |
| Matt: | She tasted like cigarettes. |
Glenglassaugh Sanded
| Mark: | This is Glenglassaugh, which is as close as I’m going to get. |
| Chris: | This smells really, really good. |
| Mark: | I’m glad. |
| Chris: | I’m just telling you. Good job. |
| Dan: | Fantastic news. |
| Matt: | We’re not to that part yet. |
| Chris: | Oh, sorry. |
| Mark: | This called Glenglassaugh Sandend. The reason it’s called Sandend is the distillery actually sits next to a beach and they’re celebrating their beachiness. |
| Chris: | I like that bottle too. I really like everything about this. I haven’t tasted it yet though. |
| Matt: | The bottle is kind of cool. It’s got waves on it and… |
| Dan: | Glenglassaugh? |
| Chris: | Master blender. Have a master blender, so they’re just… Are they blended? Are they a… |
| Mark: | No, even single malt. So they’ll put together different barrels of single malt. |
| Chris: | Yeah, but they have on the… The only reason I’m asking is because they have the lady’s name, Rachel. |
| Mark: | Because it’s aged in bourbon barrels, sherry barrels and manzanilla casks. And then the blended term to what percentage of each dose goes in. They’re still considered a single malt. |
| Matt: | Interesting. |
| Chris: | Do they make their own? Are they just blending? Are they distilling their own? |
| Mark: | You’re confusing that blended with what [inaudible 00:25:37] Golden Sheep. It’s all their whiskey. They just put it in different barrels and then when they’re ready to bottle the master blender- |
| Chris: | Okay, so they probably have a master distiller too? That’s why I’m asking. It’s weird to put a master blender if they’re not distilling their own stuff. Do you understand where I’m going with that? They’ll have a- |
| Mark: | Yes. Generally the master distiller is the guy that decides those percentages. They may well have a master distiller and a master blender. |
| Chris: | Master blender, okay. |
| Mark: | Or a master baiter. |
| Matt: | I would guess everyone’s got one of those. |
| Chris: | This is amazing. This is really good. I would drink a lot of this. |
| Matt: | Which I thought the nose was a little boring, but then I took a taste of it and it’s really nice. |
| Dan: | Really? I though the nose was fantastic. I’m a little more disappointed on the… Yeah. |
| Chris: | It’s a perfect scotch to start with. |
| Mark: | It’s a little hot for a scotch. It’s 50% ABV. |
| Dan: | Which according to my math is a hundred proof. |
| Mark: | Yes. |
| Matt: | Good job, Dan. |
| Dan: | Nailed it. |
| Mark: | Pineapple. |
| Dan: | Here’s the block. We’re watching it on a TV. Yep. Nailed it. Blocked it. |
| Mark: | Anyway. On the pallet, I get some pineapple, very light grapefruit and a little bit of salt, which comes from the aging next to the ocean. |
| Dan: | Waves of tropical sweetness with a crack of sea salt. |
| Mark: | God, I’m good. |
| Dan: | Inspired by the crescent beach of Sandend Bay, Glenglassaugh… |
| Mark: | Yeah, there’s a lot of vowels in there. |
| Dan: | … is matured in bourbon and sherry and manzanilla? |
| Mark: | Manzanilla. |
| Dan: | Manzanilla, I had too many Ls there. For luscious waves of flavor. |
| Matt: | Luscious, huh? Wow. |
| Dan: | I even paused to reread it six times to make sure I wasn’t… |
| Matt: | Make sure it wasn’t luscious. |
| Mark: | It’s good scotch. Now the best part, retail is about 60 bucks. |
| Dan: | Good fucking God. |
| Matt: | And once again, it proves that you can’t… Just because something’s expensive or cheap doesn’t mean it’s good or bad. |
| Dan: | As the old saying goes, you can’t judge a book by its cover. And as the bourbon industry goes, you can’t judge a book by its proof or price. |
| Chris: | Can too. I’m looking at that bottle, I bet it’s wet. I’m judging it. We don’t know that it’s not wet. |
| Dan: | The bottle’s only wet because it’s in my hands. |
| Matt: | The inside of the bottle’s wet. |
| Dan: | The inside of the bottle is wet. |
| Matt: | I mean the majority of it. |
| Dan: | It’s also round. |
| Chris: | Don’t judge you. Don’t judge it. Sorry. |
| Matt: | I like it when it’s wet on the inside. |
| Dan: | I mean this is… |
| Mark: | We all like it when it’s wet on the inside. |
| Dan: | That’s a top notch for me. |
| Matt: | That is good. |
| Chris: | It is really good. Is this readily available? Is it pretty easy to get? |
| Matt: | I would assume so. |
| Chris: | Is there any other expressions? |
| Matt: | There are. There’s, I think we have four others over there. |
| Chris: | Cool. That’s fun. |
| Dan: | What was one of the bourbons we tried last week? James was asking about it. |
| Matt: | The Golden Sheaf. Did we do their corn breakfast… |
| Mark: | If I were going to drink a glass of that, I would put a little bit of water with it. |
| Dan: | Okay. |
| Chris: | Or just an ice cube. |
| Dan: | Evan Williams. |
| Matt: | Oh yeah. |
| Dan: | Is Evan Williams single barrel readily available? |
| Matt: | I don’t think it’s like a bottle of Jack Daniels sitting on the shelf readily available but you might be able to find some because I think it’s very highly looked over. Overlooked. |
| Dan: | To avoid any potential IRS issues a friend of mine won a pool that we were doing last weekend, has a little extra spending cash and was interested in that. So add that to the list of bottles that I’m hoping the pub can get for every one of my friends. We got the Breckenridge one that we’re still trying to find. The Wyoming whiskey one. |
| Matt: | Which Breckenridge? |
| Dan: | The orange bottle. |
| Mark: | Well, whichever one it is, they don’t have it. |
| Dan: | Thought they got the blue. |
| Matt: | That was their, I’m guessing you won’t, if it’s the Tetons, you won’t be able to get it because that was their first release in their National Park series that they’re doing. We just got their latest release. |
| Mark: | NASCAR announcing partner was in to watch the Bears game yesterday. |
| Dan: | Oh, he probably could have been thinking I was here. |
| Mark: | Nice man. |
| Dan: | He’s a nice guy. |
| Mark: | And a good sense of humor because… |
| Matt: | Because he is a Bears fan. |
| Mark: | The great dane decided to follow Ted around. So Ted would run down footrest and the great dane would be on the foot rest, running down after him. And just basically running over everybody’s legs. |
| Matt: | She doesn’t understand that she is like Shetland pony size at this point. |
| Dan: | Or horse. |
| Matt: | A small horse, which is a Shetland pony. |
| Dan: | Oh, okay. |
| Matt: | You call it a pony because it’s little. It’s cute. |
| Dan: | I was talking to somebody else too… |
| Mark: | When my grandfather was alive and on the farm, he had a heard of Shetland pony. |
| Dan: | Oh [inaudible 00:31:42] again. |
| Matt: | Uh-oh. |
| Dan: | When I checked at the beginning, they were fine. |
| Matt: | Should we all talk louder? |
| Dan: | No, it’s just mine. |
| Matt: | Oh. |
| Mark: | 92 proof. |
| Dan: | See if that helps. Nope. I wonder if it’s my microphone then. I’m just going to keep playing. |
| Matt: | Keep talking amongst ourselves. |
| Mark: | A lot of cinnamon and clove on the palette. Kind of a warm, spicy. |
| Matt: | It kind of drinks bourbon to me. |
| Chris: | I was going to say, [inaudible 00:32:12] I would’ve guessed that this by look, it would be a bourbon. |
| Mark: | It’s not as fruit forward on the palette as I would have anticipated. There’s more spice. |
| Chris: | This is confusing me. |
| Matt: | It’s from the Valley of the Rocks. |
| Chris: | I think it’s the color that’s confusing me because it’s just this dark and I expected it to have those bourbon qualities like getting some sort of caramel or something, but it’s a scotch. |
| Matt: | It’s lots of fruit. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Yeah, I’m just going to echo everything you guys are saying. This is everything of a bourbon except for the name. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | By comparison with the last one, it’s a lot heavier, deeper. It is twice as expensive. It’s a buck 30 or a buck 40 for a bottle. |
| Chris: | Ooh. Second sip I got a little bit of a burn. Warmth, not burn. Warmth. |
| Mark: | It’s not bad. It’s 92 proof. |
| Chris: | Okay. All right, that tracks. |
| Matt: | So it’s still a little heavy for a scotch? |
| Mark: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | You need to write this down. Yeah. Levels still aren’t working. Microphone change. |
| Chris: | Pause. |
| Dan: | No, just keep going. |
| Chris: | Okay. |
| Mark: | All in all it’s good, but for me, the best part of it is the nose. I really like the nose a lot. |
| Matt: | I’m getting a lot of popcorn on the nose. |
| Mark: | That [inaudible 00:33:46]. |
| Dan: | That might be because we just… Brett just popped some popcorn. |
| Matt: | Yes. |
| Mark: | We all knew that you didn’t have to state that, Captain Obvious. |
| Dan: | I might have said it to check my levels. |
| Mark: | Oh, how are they? |
| Dan: | Well, right now they’re better. Nope. Nope. Still there. Let’s tweak this a little bit. We’ll go that way. |
| Mark: | Tweak. Tweak. |
GlenAllachie 15 years old
| Dan: | Okay. GlenAllachie… |
| Matt: | 15 |
| Dan: | 15 |
| Matt: | This is really nice. Really easy drinker. |
| Dan: | For being a trans whiskey. |
| Matt: | Whoa. |
| Dan: | It’s definitely born as a scotch, but it is identifying as a bourbon. How do we feel about it? |
| Mark: | I’m going to hit you really, really soon. |
| Matt: | This is a trans scotch. |
| Mark: | Wouldn’t that then be a trans bourbon because- |
| Dan: | I said trans whiskey. |
| Mark: | Oh, okay. |
| Matt: | I don’t know what it identifies as, but it’s… This shit’s good. |
| Dan: | Is it okay if I say it’s way too dark to be a… Are we allowed to say dark? |
| Mark: | Kind of racist but you can say it. |
| Dan: | Okay. As long as it’s only kind of racist. |
| Matt: | Yeah, just a little racism is okay. |
| Dan: | Glen… |
| Mark: | That is really good. It’s getting better as I drink it too. |
| Matt: | Yeah. Yeah. The finish on it is just absolutely fantastic. Super fruity and long. Long and fruity. |
| Dan: | Well, we’re just hitting all the notes, aren’t we? |
| Matt: | Hey there. Stop it. |
| Dan: | Is Cliff coming back? |
| Mark: | Cliff. Cliff. |
| Matt: | It’s so fruity. I think Cliff’s out climbing today. |
| Dan: | Oh, it’s a great day to climb in Omaha. |
| Matt: | Down at Mandan Park. They like to climb when the mud’s a little softer. |
| Dan: | Yeah, we’re having our annual monsoon right now where it’s just raining annoyingly. |
| Matt: | They’re saying two inches we’re going to get today. |
| Mark: | It’s supposed to rain. |
| Matt: | That’s what Cliff’s looking for. |
| Dan: | Sarah got two inches last night. |
| Matt: | Wow. |
| Mark: | That’s about it too. It is supposed… |
| Matt: | Gave her four inches but I went twice. |
| Mark: | Give me eight inches to make it hurt, so I fucked her twice and punched her in the face. |
| Chris: | Jesus. Y’all are going to hell. |
| Dan: | You’re coming with us. |
| Mark: | For a lot of reasons, but that’s probably not one of them. |
| Matt: | That’s not one of the top 10, I’m sure. |
| Mark: | No. |
| Dan: | All right. GlenAllachie 15. That was scotch number two from Mark. Oh, sorry Mark the… |
| Chris: | Staff of Wheelchair. No Orange. |
| Dan: | He doesn’t use… |
Bookers Master Distillers Batch
| Chris: | He doesn’t use the staff anymore. |
| Oh, yay, Bookers. | |
| Dan: | By the way, if you guys want to find out any of that stuff, I think I am, like what we’re talking about. I think I am probably going to start doing every Saturday I’ll release an old episode. I released episode number one when we had technical issues. Did I miss… |
| Matt: | I listened to it. Was that the week that the file just disappeared? |
| Dan: | Yes. That was the week the file disappeared. Yeah, I talked about it last week. Jeremiah was like, what happened with your guys’ latest episode? And I’m like, oh no, no. |
| Mark: | Can you put together for me the episodes that you guys did when I was in the hospital? |
| Dan: | Yes. It would just take some time. |
| Mark: | I just wondered how bad you guys fucked me over while I wasn’t here drinking the most expensive booze in the bar. |
| Matt: | A little bit. |
| Dan: | All right, so Matt and I were both on the same thought where we instantly started defending ourselves to making fun of you. |
| Matt: | We didn’t… Yeah, no, we kind of fucked you over a little bit. |
| Dan: | And then we realized what you were asking and there was times that we were like, “Hey Mark, can we try this Balvenie, whatever?” You didn’t say anything. |
| Matt: | Whatever. I have hair. |
| Dan: | Yeah. There was the episode that you clearly just took a fresh dose of morphine and you called into the bar and said, just want to remind you that I’ve got the best hair on the pub cast. |
| Matt: | I have hair. |
| Mark: | I do. I got to be honest, I have no memory at all of that. |
| Matt: | I think you called Chris’s phone. |
| Dan: | I thought he called the pub phone. |
| Matt: | Or you texted or something a few different times and it was always something comical. |
| Mark: | Well, the pub cast was right after my morning pain meds. |
| Matt: | Yes. |
| Dan: | And also after his morning whiskey. Anyways, I’ll try. I can track him down for you. I’ll try to track them down. |
| Mark: | Dan, I’m just giving you shit. |
| Dan: | I know. Well, you can also look through the list of… Or you could… You know what? Just go back to episode one and just listen to all of them. |
| Matt: | Oh my God. |
| Chris: | Oh fuck. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | I would be dead before I was done. That makes me not want to try this, Matt. |
| Matt: | This is warm, the Bookers. This is the third release of 2024, the master distillers batch. 65.15% or like a hundred million proof. |
| Mark: | That would be 132. |
| Dan: | Can I have your permission to interrupt you real quick just to pick on Chris. |
| Matt: | Sure. Yeah, go right ahead. |
| Dan: | Graphic up on the TV screen right now, the Bengals have the league leader in passing yards, league leader in receiving yards, league leader in sacks and a four in seven record. |
| Chris: | Yeah. It’s amazing. It’s amazing. It’s bonkers. |
| Mark: | I just finished with GlenAllachie and that is really good scotch. |
| Dan: | GlenAllachie nailed it. |
| Mark: | It gets better every sip. |
| Dan: | Kind of like me. Matt, you were saying about Bookers. |
| Matt: | This is the master distiller batch. It is seven years, eight months and seven days. So there you go. |
| Mark: | I’m almost afraid after seeing your face after you took a sip. |
| Matt: | I wasn’t expecting it after the, what was the last… |
| Dan: | The GlenAllachie. |
| Matt: | The 92. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | And then this jumps up a whole flight of steps on it. |
| Dan: | Now is the proof a lot higher because Bookers tends to be north of 120. |
| Matt: | Usually 124, I believe is right around where they’re at. 124, 126. So this one’s a little bit higher so up around 130. |
| Dan: | My God, that is fucking dark. How long did you say it was aged for? |
| Matt: | Seven years eight months and seven days. |
| Dan: | Jesus. |
| Mark: | It’s got a great nose. |
| Dan: | That’s the sun tea that you knew you should have taken out before you went and ran errands, but when you got home, you realized you really should have taken it out of the sun. |
| Matt: | Just have to add extra ice. |
| Mark: | I always leave my sun tea out for two days because I like it really strong. |
| Dan: | You like it really dark? |
| Mark: | Yes. |
| Matt: | And thick. |
| Dan: | And thick. Apparently. Viscous. |
| Matt: | Viscous. |
| Dan: | This is a step up on the burn level a little bit or the heat level, but- |
| Matt: | Very much so. |
| Dan: | …I think this is actually kind of calm for a Bookers. At least the way I’m tasting it today. |
| Matt: | Really? I still think it drinks pretty warm. But flavor wise, I think it’s really tasty. It’s hot. |
| Mark: | Yes. |
| Dan: | We’ve got to revise that it drinks like a Bookers. |
| Matt: | That’s a better reaction than we normally get out of Mark when we do a Bookers. |
| Mark: | It’s got a great flavor, it just… |
| Matt: | Which I think, with all the Bookers, I think water or an ice cube, helps. |
| Dan: | Sorry, I keep getting distracted because I have ADHD. They just might as well put the Lions in the Super Bowl for the NFC, right? They beat up on arguably one of the shittier teams in the league, 52 to 6. |
| Matt: | Is that what they wound up winning by? |
| Dan: | Jesus. 52 to 6. |
| Chris: | I hope they do. I hope they do. |
| Dan: | Lions are headed there. And honestly, if the Chiefs lost to the Lions in the Super Bowl, I’d be less sad about that because Detroit needs a little something. I love what that, what’s Coach’s name? I love what he’s doing over there. |
| Chris: | Dan Campbell. |
| Dan: | Schneider? Campbell. |
| Matt: | Schneider. |
| Dan: | Sorry. |
| Matt: | Isn’t Dan Schneider a commentator or something? |
| Chris: | Dan Schneider wasn’t the owner of Washington, he had the horrible Washington- |
| Dan: | He was the owner of the Redskins. |
| Chris: | Yeah. Yeah. He was very bad. |
| Matt: | The Washington football team. |
| Chris: | Horrible culture. |
| Dan: | I didn’t like that guy because I do think he’s a piece of shit. But just to spite the NFL when they made him change his names from the Redskins, he went with the Washington Football Team. |
| Matt: | Which I think’s hilarious. |
| Dan: | It was. Refused to change it to anything so he just put football team. |
| Matt: | I get lots of cherry. |
| Dan: | Oh, I get dill. |
| Matt: | Do you? |
| Chris: | I did get dill on the nose. |
| Dan: | Definitely dill. |
| Chris: | Yeah. A lot of dill actually. |
| Matt: | Interesting. |
| Dan: | Dilly, dilly, dilly. |
| Matt: | Okay, hold on. |
| Mark: | It’s way better with water. |
| Dan: | Is it? |
| Matt: | I am getting a little bit of dill too, God damn it. |
| Chris: | So it’s only when I inhale lightly that I get the dill because if I do a big inhale, then I get the typical bourbon notes but the light… |
| Dan: | I want to know what it is that I’m detecting as dill, is it- |
| Chris: | Well, you like pickles, dude. |
| Dan: | I know. |
| Chris: | You like pickles. |
| Dan: | But they obviously don’t age this in pickles or anything. So there’s a sense that- |
| Chris: | There’s got to be some rye in it. There’s got to be some rye. |
| Matt: | From what I’ve read and whatnot it’s a character of rye. |
| Dan: | Okay. |
| Matt: | Which I could not find [inaudible 00:43:41] on this. Now I could find what four different barrels they mix together to make this up. |
| Dan: | Yeah. Yeah, if I do both noses, I don’t get the dill, but if I do one- |
| Matt: | Both noses? |
| Dan: | Nostrils, sorry. |
| Matt: | Are you and are you and Brett both sniffing. |
| Dan: | I spent some time in Chernobyl. |
| Matt: | Weird. Do you know they’re starting to let people go back and visit? |
| Dan: | Yeah. There’s been a lot of people that have gone over there. |
| Mark: | Back in the day when I was riding motorcycles, there was a thing where… |
| Chris: | Yeah, you told this story before. It’s a good story. |
| Mark: | …Where people would go to Chernobyl and take their motorcycle and be as close as they could get, start the bike up and race as fast as they could through the not allowed in right by the reactor to the other end. |
| Matt: | That sounds like a terrible idea. |
| Dan: | God. |
| Matt: | The wheels on the bike are just melting. |
| Chris: | Yeah, getting chased by a four-headed bear. |
| Dan: | It’s like if you get radiation poisoning and you end up getting cancer from it, it is a horrible way to die. It is just, my God. And by the way, if you have never watched the Chernobyl series on HBO… |
| Chris: | So good. We’re so lucky. |
| Dan: | Oh my God. |
| Chris: | We’re so lucky. |
| Matt: | Yeah, the four Calhoun never melted down. |
| Dan: | Yeah, Three Mile Island got closed. There’s a really nice Netflix documentary. Apparently they’re firing Three Mile Island back up again. |
| Mark: | That’s what I heard. |
| Matt: | At least two and a half miles of it. |
| Dan: | Yeah. It just amazes me when they’re like, yeah, we’re going to shut this nuclear power plant down and it’s going to take eight years to wind down. Eight fucking years to slow this train down. Jesus. And then they decide we’re going to fire it back up again. |
| Mark: | Well, they almost have to now that everybody’s driving electric cars. |
| Dan: | I know. It’s killing the grid. |
| Matt: | And the landfills. |
| Mark: | Panasonic is coming out, is doing a study on new batteries that would revolutionize electric cars because they’re something… You can get rid of them. |
| Dan: | Yeah, they could be…. Yeah. Tesla’s on the verge of it too. They’ve been talking about their next version of their battery is going to be of minerals that are easily attainable and can be recycled much quicker. And they’ve still got the battery density to get you there. But yeah, and by the way, any conservatives now that Elon Musk is friends with Donald Trump, you have to start liking Teslas. |
| Matt: | They’re besties. |
| Dan: | Yeah. You have to start liking the EV industry. |
| Mark: | Well, why don’t you let me know when it is time for me to buy an EV. |
| Dan: | Right now. I’m not kidding, today. |
| Matt: | Which I bet he would sell you his. |
| Dan: | I will. For $27,000. It’s all yours. |
| Mark: | Buy it because I can go out and buy your car for 30. |
| Dan: | 35 and have a brand new one in three weeks. |
| Mark: | With the battery that hasn’t been used. |
| Dan: | Yeah. Good news is my battery’s only degraded by 2% over 90,000 miles. |
| Chris: | And literally you could save yourself from driving into it. I’m sorry, I can’t. |
| Dan: | To a dentist’s office. |
| Chris: | Yeah, because it can drive you home by itself. |
| Dan: | It does. |
| Matt: | Unless the car doesn’t like you. |
| Mark: | What would really great… |
| Dan: | If you spoke into the microphone. |
| Mark: | … is once they perfect self-driving buy Mo one. |
| Matt: | She would still bitch at it until it refused to drive. |
| Dan: | That’s a long ways away. |
| Matt: | I’m not driving anymore |
| Dan: | But to anybody that is actually considering getting an EV right now or considering getting one, right now is the absolute time to do it because in January, Elon Musk is going to convince Trump to drop the tax credit. Because he hates that tax credit. That tax credit is leveling the playing field for Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Honda. Everybody else that has EVs. He’s going to convince him to drop that tax credit, so it’s going to go up by $8,000. And I think demand’s going to start to pick up a little bit too. So right now you can get a brand new Tesla in about two to three weeks, built how you want it, $35,000. |
| Mark: | What is the one that is one step up from yours? |
| Dan: | Mine is… I have the Three. The Y is next, which is an SUV. I just built one for 37,000. Long range, all-wheel drive, five-seater, white interior. I did all the customizations that I wanted to do. 37,000. I got approved for 0% financing through Tesla. So I don’t pay any interest over the life of the loan. |
| Mark: | You still can’t sell yours though? |
| Dan: | Well, yeah, can’t. That’s the annoying thing. I mean, that’s the unfortunate thing is because the secondary EV market is shit because the primary market? |
| Mark: | Yes. |
| Dan: | … is so good. Why would you spend that much money on a used car when you could spend a little bit more money and get the brand new one that you want? |
| Mark: | Especially a used card that’s been hit like five times. |
| Dan: | Two. |
| Mark: | Dan. |
| Dan: | Two |
| Mark: | Dan. |
| Dan: | Neither of them were my fault. |
| Matt: | Does your car come with a long extension cord? It could be a selling point. |
| Dan: | I’ll throw in a long extension cord for 37,000. |
| Mark: | The other idea is Markita owns a Jeep and her Jeep is a combo. |
| Dan: | It’s a hybrid. |
| Mark: | Hybrid. She can go 25 miles a day on battery and then it’ll kick over to gas. Well, I drive 22 miles a day. |
| Dan: | For most people I don’t recommend that because 25 miles is nothing on a daily commute to Omaha, around Omaha. So you would get here and you could actually run electrical over there and charge your Jeep while it’s sitting. You could make it work for you. But for most people it doesn’t do enough. That’s the problem with hybrids is the batteries aren’t big enough to make a difference to where you’re not using that gas tank and that’s the entire point. |
| Matt: | That’s fair. Makes sense too. |
| Dan: | Yeah. When you’ve got a… My car has a 330 mile range. |
| Mark: | 330 miles would go almost a month for me. Not quite a month. I do about 425 miles a month. I don’t go anywhere. I can’t walk so going to the mall doesn’t work out well. |
| Chris: | You might go to more places if the car drives for you. I’m just saying, you might. |
| Dan: | Then for you, I would definitely recommend getting the standard battery, 225, 250, I think. |
| Matt: | Oh, whatever it takes. |
| Dan: | And it saves, I think it saves you like two or three thousand dollars. But for me, I wound end up going with long-range because of the times that I got to drive to Kansas City and the road trips that we do every once in a while over to Des Moines, that battery life does save. And going to the boondocks and watching dirt track races. Sometimes actually there’s still an issue when you get into those small cities in Iowa and Nebraska that don’t have chargers on the way. |
| Mark: | When you pull up to [inaudible 00:51:05] charging station, the super station, how much does it cost for you to charge your car? |
| Dan: | I haven’t charged…. Well, I’ve charged at the [inaudible 00:51:15] a couple of times. I want to say it’s like 33 cents a kilowatt hour. In Omaha, or I can tell you Council Bluffs charges me 18 cents a kilowatt hour at my house. So I pay about double. Most of the time when I charge, if I got to go to a supercharger and I got to charge, I’m going to stay there for a little bit and make it worth it. So I’m going to spend 12 to 20 dollars on a full charge. Well, again, charging to 80% because you don’t want to supercharge past 80% if you don’t have to. It hurts the battery. |
| Matt: | Ouch. |
| Dan: | Yep. |
| Matt: | Don’t want to do that. |
| Dan: | Anyways, so that’s our EV talk of the day. |
| Matt: | Good job, everybody. |
Rieger Sweet Mash
| Dan: | What’s our next one? |
| Matt: | This is Rieger |
| Dan: | Rieger |
| Matt: | Sweet Mash. It’s a straight bourbon whiskey. It is 56% corn, 30 rye, and 14 barley. |
| Mark: | That Bookers, I just finished it, is actually really, really good- |
| Chris: | With just a little bit of water. |
| Mark: | With some water. |
| Chris: | That’s why I love… That’s my ultimate sipping all night long. You pour a nice, about a glass like this up to there, with a couple of ice cubes and it will do you just fine. |
| Dan: | The many times that Chris inadvertently reminds me how much of an alcoholic I am, I have never poured about that much. |
| Chris: | Really? Well, how much has it added up to? How many times do you go back to your bottle and pour just a little tiny more? Might as well… |
| Dan: | Chris, I am confidently telling you never. I never pour just a little bit. |
| Chris: | So you pour it up to there? |
| Mark: | Chris, stop. Chris stop. He wasn’t calling you an alcoholic. He was just calling him an alcoholic. |
| Chris: | I misunderstood. I’m sorry. I misunderstood you. |
| Mark: | Chris is getting all defensive, he’s like no, Chris he was actually complimenting you. |
| Dan: | Oh my God. I can honestly confidently say I have never poured that, unless I ran out of the bottle. |
| Chris: | But I was pointing up here. Like right up there. |
| Dan: | Oh, I thought you were talking about [inaudible 00:53:25]. |
| Chris: | No, up here on that glass, that two ice cubes, that amount. That’s probably four or five ounces of Booker that’s going send me into the next world. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | I believe that that is officially a six ounce glass. |
| Dan: | Yeah, that would… |
| Chris: | I would trip down the stairs. |
| Matt: | Again. |
| Chris: | Trip. Air quotes. |
| Matt: | Again. Damn Manhattans. |
| Dan: | It’s like when I decided to move the [inaudible 00:53:51] bottle to the desk with me. |
| Matt: | You, stop it. |
| Chris: | Mad Hattons. |
| Matt: | I asked you when you ordered the third one, if you were sure. |
| Chris: | I am not in the right after two Mad Hattons am not in the right state. You should have known that. |
| Matt: | That is not for me to judge. |
| Chris: | You know me. You know me better than I know myself when it comes to drinking. |
| Matt: | It’s true. |
| Dan: | Yeah, but he’s also been through the struggle of no, you’re done. |
| Chris: | Yeah, that’s true. But I would listen if someone tells me I’m done. |
| Dan: | I think if Matt told you… |
| Chris: | I actually listen. No, he did not. |
| Dan: | I think if Matt told you, |
| Chris: | Yeah, I would listen. Absolutely. A hundred percent. |
| Matt: | He listens better when we’re camping for paintball. Just like, dude, we’re wasted. We need to go back to the tent. |
| Dan: | I haven’t had this. |
| Chris: | We have never said that. Have we said that? |
| Matt: | Oh yeah. |
| Chris: | We have? |
| Matt: | Aztec camp. |
| Chris: | Oh yeah, that’s true. |
| Dan: | But he said it a little bit different. He said, let’s go back to the tent. |
| Matt: | Let’s go back to the tent. Come on. |
| Chris: | It’s warm there. Make it warmer. |
| Dan: | I can confidently say, I don’t think I’ve ever had a bartender cut me off. But I feel confident, especially after bartending for a while, that if a bartender ever looked at me and said, let’s go ahead and close you out or put a water in front of me, I’d be like, oh shit. Okay. |
| Matt: | That’s usually what I do is just put a water in front of people. |
| Dan: | We’ve talked about this in the podcast before. It amazes me the number of people that will fight you tooth and nail when you’re like, you’re done. It’s time to go home. |
| Mark: | Just one more. |
| Matt: | No. |
| Mark: | No, no. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | I’m fine. Fuck you. I’ll never come back here. |
| Dan: | Okay. We’ll see you tomorrow. |
| Matt: | Yeah, right. Not going to remember any of this. This is from the J. Rieger. The Jacob Rieger company. |
| Dan: | I recognize that. |
| Matt: | Out of Kansas City Missouri. |
| Dan: | Okay. I think we’ve had J. Rieger before. |
| Matt: | We have. Which looking this up, I learned that they used to be the largest mail order whiskey company in the nation. |
| Chris: | Why are you laughing at that? Is it because it’s mail order? Is that what made you laugh? |
| Dan: | Yes. |
| Chris: | All right. |
| Dan: | Because of course, before Matt finished the sentence, my dumb brain went to mail order brides, Russia. |
| Matt: | They have no Taiwanese that… |
| Dan: | Philippines. |
| Matt: | No Taiwanese people that work for J. Rieger that I know of are currently for sale. I mean, for marriage. |
| Dan: | Probably illegals. |
| Matt: | I like this. This stuff’s like $32 a bottle |
| Dan: | Again for its fighting weight it is great. |
| Matt: | 40%, 90 proof. They were established back in the late 1800s. They have been known to do the bootlegging back in those days. |
| Mark: | Is this clips of a game that nobody fucking cares about? |
| Chris: | This was a good game. The Broncos, Sean Payton could win Coach of the year. What they’re doing with that team is pretty impressive. |
| Matt: | It’s all scripted. |
| Chris: | It is. |
| Dan: | They should have beat the Chiefs last week, and they just absolutely owned an Atlanta Falcons team, which is playing pretty good. Well, was before Sunday. |
| Chris: | The rookie freaking quarterback. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | I really like this whiskey. |
| Dan: | Hate [inaudible 00:57:03]. That’s really good stuff. |
| Chris: | I hate football. |
| Dan: | Rieger, sweet mash, straight bourbon whiskey. How much a pour? |
| Matt: | 8 |
| Dan: | 8 |
| Matt: | That’s for a big old glass. |
| Dan: | Find anything else in Omaha for eight bucks. Literally. |
| Matt: | A couple gallons of gas. |
| Dan: | Not even. |
| Matt: | [inaudible 00:57:23] |
| Dan: | Taxes. No. You’re paying over eight bucks for a pack of smokes, aren’t you? |
| Chris: | Are you? |
| Matt: | I pay… Well, I buy typically two at a time and it’s 17 and change. |
| Mark: | I buy two cartons at a time and it’s 178. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Fuck. Man, aren’t you so glad you quit? |
| Chris: | I kind of am, man. I’ve been having dreams about me smoking cigarettes. Last night I had a really, really one where I was sure when I woke up, well, I just ruined my streak of eight months of not smoking. No, it was a dream. But I’m mad. I was mad when I walked in here I was like, oh, look at those cigarettes in there. Those look really good. Damn it. Yeah. Stop. What’s wrong with your brain? |
| Dan: | Get out of here. |
| Chris: | Get out of here with that. Go smoke your devil’s penis elsewhere. |
| Matt: | Wow. |
| Dan: | By the way, what you couldn’t see was Mark shaking his Marlboro light 100 box in Chris’s face. |
| Chris: | But they do look so good and they smell really good too. |
| Dan: | No, they smell terrible. |
| Chris: | I know. I’ll get to that point. Just let get to that point. Just let me get to it. |
| Dan: | I don’t think I told you this story. I had a whiskey tasting at Nickelby’s Smoke shop and ring… Smoke Rings? |
| Chris: | Nickelby’s I haven’t thought of Nickelby’s in a long time. |
| Dan: | Little bitty shop. |
| Chris: | Yeah. It’s super cool. |
| Dan: | Before I got there, we’d done a couple of tastings before and there’d been about 15 people there, so I really wasn’t expecting a lot. But we did a tasting there and there was 35 people that were a part of the tasting. |
| Mark: | They got 35 people in that little place. |
| Dan: | Just in the tasting. |
| Matt: | God damn. Were they sucking dicks on the way in or something? |
| Dan: | I don’t know why… |
| Matt: | How do you get 35 people to a tasting? |
| Dan: | What happens? I don’t know. What happened happened. But yeah, of course every single one of them was smoking two cigars. [inaudible 00:59:13], God. Break it next time, would you? |
| Matt: | I wish. |
| Dan: | Matt just inadvertently punched the POS machine. |
| Matt: | Maybe it was inadvertent, maybe it wasn’t. |
| Dan: | I’ll give you 10 bucks to punch it harder. |
| Matt: | God I would love to body slam it. |
| Dan: | All right. Anyways, so when I got home, after an hour and a half of sitting there, Sarah was already asleep. I walked in the bedroom, took off all my clothes, put them in the hamper, went in and took a shower because I reeked of cigar smoke. |
| Matt: | Oh, I thought this was going to get fun. |
| Dan: | I get out of the shower and she wakes up and goes, you’ve got to… Whatever just happened, you have got to change. I’m like, what are you talking about? |
| Chris: | Your clothes probably, dude. |
| Dan: | Oh, they fucking reeked. She made me pull them out of the hamper. Absolutely pulled them out of the hamper and, put them downstairs in the washroom. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Four days later I went down there to do a load of laundry and the entire washroom smelled like a cigar. |
| Matt: | It like campfire. |
| Chris: | It is like camp fire. |
| Mark: | Periodically, we have people that come in here and say, if we smoke cigars in here, you’ll be a cigar bar, it’ll be great. And my response to it is always, well, I’m going to draw four people because they have a cigar and I’m going to lose 40 because it’s going to smell like cigars. |
| Dan: | A lot more. And again, I’m a nonsmoker. I love the Omaha smoking ban. Love it. Because I used to have to go out and do promotions for the radio stations and I would go home even after I was a non-smoker, we’d go and sit out at Hooters, which was a smoking facility, and I’d leave there and I’d be coughing like I raced my motorcycle through Chernobyl. |
| Matt: | Which I’m a smoker and I appreciate the smoking ban. |
| Chris: | I do too. I |
| Mark: | Obviously, I’m a smoker. I own a bar. I smoke in my bar when we’re not open. But I actually like the smoking ban too. First of all, I’m not paying the… |
| Matt: | The smoke eater company. |
| Mark: | Yeah. The smoke eater company $200 a month to have all these smoke eaters hanging in. |
| Matt: | What I like about it is because people… Most smokers aren’t cognizant of where they’re blowing their smoke. And you’re sitting here doing dishes and my face is right level with your face and people just blow it right in your face. And then you smell like 46 different kinds of cigarettes. |
| Dan: | Yeah. It’s amazing to me that all the information that is out there about cigarettes and how bad they are that it took Omaha that long to ban them. And I get the reasons why. |
| Chris: | That was 20 years ago, wasn’t it? |
| Matt: | 2008 or ’09. |
| Dan: | But it’s still 20 years ago we knew. |
| Mark: | I can tell you exactly when that was. I bought the bar in ’08 in April, and they outlawed cigarettes in Omaha in July one. |
| Dan: | Of ’08? |
| Mark: | Yes. The problem was I’m right at the edge of Omaha. You couldn’t smoke in here, but you get in your car and drive a mile and a half and smoke in that bar |
| Matt: | Which we did a lot. |
| Mark: | Yes. |
| Matt: | If you were sitting at the bar. That was the caveat to the law. You had to be sitting at the actual countertop. You couldn’t be sitting at a table smoking. |
| Mark: | So to me, the state went non-smoking in July of ’09. Yes, ’09. That at least leveled the playing field. |
| Matt: | Yes. |
| Dan: | Well, yeah. It’s like Omaha, Well, whatever the ban was, they threw in their stipulations where you… Smoking was banned in Omaha unless you had Big Red Kino. |
| Matt: | Yes, that was… |
| Dan: | I was doing radio advertising for Big John’s Billiards at the time, and when that band went through and then the caveat was thrown in there that if they had Big Red Kino, they could keep it. He sued the state of Omaha. He was a part of a group of people sued. |
| Mark: | And won. |
| Dan: | And won. The Nebraska courts said, no, that’s illegal. You can’t do that. And guess what Omaha said. We’re going to do it anyways. |
| Matt: | That sounds familiar. |
| Dan: | They ignored the court ruling and they allowed the exemption still for about another year or so before they finally removed it under pressure. |
| Mark: | But it wasn’t for anybody that had Kino. It was only for Big Red Kino. |
| Matt: | It was Kino parlors. |
| Dan: | Oh yeah, had to be, yeah. |
| Matt: | Be so Big Red, Ralston, La Vista. You could still go sit in their aquariums and smoke. |
| Dan: | Which again, smoking is banned in Omaha and Iowa. And Council Bluff yet you could sit in the casinos and smoke. |
| Matt: | Well, yeah. |
| Mark: | But what’s funny about that is you can smoke at the table games, but you can’t smoke at the poker table. |
| Dan: | You could smoke at the- |
| Mark: | Blackjack. |
| Dan: | Oh, not the poker tables where Noah goes and does… Really? |
| Matt: | They have certain areas of the casino you can smoke in. |
| Dan: | Okay. |
| Chris: | Because that invisible wall. |
| Dan: | Right. It stops the smoke from spreading. |
| Mark: | That’s like back in the day, yes, four for dinner. Would you like smoking or non-smoking? Dude, there’s 40 chairs in this place. |
| Dan: | Yeah, the Pizza Hut in Red Oak had the smoking and non-smoking section and it was separated by a half a wall. Do you not understand how smoke works? It rises and then spreads. |
| Matt: | That’s what the firefighters tell me. |
| Dan: | Matt, we got one more. I just wanted to pull something out of my trunk of stuff I had. |
| Matt: | No. We’re not doing it. No way. |
| Mark: | My favorite was, I can still remember going to McDonald’s and having the little gold foil punch ashtrays with the McDonald’s logo in them. |
| Dan: | Should be a can of beer, a can of not…. |
| Matt: | That was back when McDonald’s had salt and pepper still on the tables too. |
| Mark: | Yes. |
| Dan: | And they also didn’t have E. coli. |
| Matt: | They don’t have it now. |
| Dan: | They got rid of it this time. |
| Chris: | Just don’t eat the onions. |
Sierra Nevada Trail Pass Golden Ale
| Dan: | Just wanted to bring something extra in. And I had this in my truck, in my car, so I figured, what the hell. We’ll try it. This is a non-alcoholic offering from Sierra Nevada, which is one of the great companies that Johnson Brothers in Nebraska distributes. |
| Mark: | WTFP. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | What’s the fucking point? |
| Dan: | Because there are people out there that are trying to curb their drinking. The NA market is absolutely exploding. |
| Mark: | Oh, I know. |
| Matt: | I’m curious. |
| Dan: | We keep seeing… |
| Chris: | Go ahead. |
| Dan: | We keep seeing it. And there’s multiple ways that it comes into effect. |
| Matt: | I like this. |
| Dan: | Sometimes on Sundays, when a former host Tom Meade comes in, his wife is trying not to drink. So while he’s here drinking, she’ll have an NA. There’s people like me that while I have the urge to keep drinking, I know I probably shouldn’t. So I switched to NAs and that gives me my fulfillment. Or basically tickles my alcoholic bone. And then there’s people that are trying to quit drinking, but they still want the social experience. This is called Trail Pass Golden. It’s their golden ale. |
| Matt: | This isn’t bad. It’s a little watery. |
| Dan: | Yeah. So they also have one that is a… |
| Chris: | Hop water. |
| Dan: | Hop water, which is called Hop Splash, and that is Hops, Water and then CO2. |
| Matt: | I’ve had the hop water before. |
| Dan: | There’s no alcohol that’s ever in it, taken out of it, removed or whatever. This is a traditional NA where it is brewed like a normal beer and then is de-alcoholized and then shipped at 0.05% or under. And I was talking to somebody about it as I was tasting this on them last week and they tried the hop water and then they tried this and they’re like, yeah, the Golden Trail is probably more of what we’re looking for because it has that beer profile. |
| Matt: | It’s really light. Yeah. |
| Dan: | It feels more like you’re drinking a beer when you’re trying to not. |
| Matt: | The other one just kind of tastes like funky water with bubbles. |
| Chris: | I don’t know. I have a… There’s still alcohol in it. |
| Dan: | Correct. |
| Chris: | But it’s very, very low. There is science that if you drank a case of this, you would feel drunk. |
| Dan: | Really? |
| Chris: | Sure. It’s 0.5%, right? |
| Dan: | Point 0.05. |
| Matt: | So a couple of cases. |
| Chris: | If you drunk of this, yeah, you’ll get drunk. You won’t be able to… And pee a lot. But I don’t know, that’s strange to me. Does O’Dools have, is it alcohol removed? |
| Matt: | I think they all have a tiny bit of… All the ones that are made like regular beer and then they take the alcohol out, however the hell they do that, they just yell at it, get out of here, alcohol. You leave. |
| Chris: | Spin it so quick that it sticks to the sides of the cylinder. |
| Matt: | The alcohol is all uh. |
| Chris: | They turn it into hand sanitizer. |
| Matt: | Hand sanitizer. |
| Dan: | So anyways, I had this in my trunk and I wanted to try something extra and it doesn’t have alcohol. It doesn’t have much alcohol in it. |
| Chris: | This is not bad. I’ve sold a lot of cases of this. And the trends that are happening next year for people drinking in general are so depressing. Looking at it it is just, shit what the hell are we going to do because nobody’s drinking anymore. |
| Matt: | The new term is sober curious. |
| Chris: | Yeah. Yeah. I know, dude. I’m curious what it’d be like to be sober. |
| Mark: | I’m not. |
| Dan: | I’ve had this conversation with a lot of people. You got me into the alcohol industry 20 years ago. We’ll talk about that later. But it amazes me the amount of alcohol that is sold based on one or two people. The number of stories I’ve heard of people that are like, I have a client that orders a case of Jose Cuervo tequila every single week. Every single week. And then for two or three weeks they’ll order it and I’ll send them a text like, Hey, what’s going on? I’m like, well, my Cuervo drinker moved, they went to rehab, went to prison, whatever. |
| Mark: | Sailor Jerry. We buy Sailor Jerry by the case for one guy. |
| Matt: | Because he drinks it. |
| Dan: | Yep. A lot of it. |
| Matt: | He drank bamboo yesterday and he really likes the bamboo. |
| Mark: | No. He wants it back. He wants [inaudible 01:09:41]. |
| Matt: | No, he does, but he does as his fallback, he really likes the bamboo. |
| Mark: | Yes. |
| Dan: | I would venture to say Ciroc is probably for 10 people that come into the pub. |
| Matt: | Those are just for the people that are like, give me something fruity. |
| Dan: | Yeah. Well I think the Ciroc, like we wouldn’t sell much Ciroc if it wasn’t for those. Granted, ten is a lot of people, but it amazes me the amount that the alcohol industry is propped up on. The few. The absolute few. Anyways, so Sierra Nevada Trail Pass is the name of the line. |
| Matt: | That’s what it says on the can. |
| Dan: | Yeah. And then the Golden is the one we just tried. I spared you guys from the IPA, but they do have an IPA also. |
| Matt: | This one’s got just a tiny bit of hop up front and then it just mellows out. |
| Dan: | Yeah. Nice and easy. |
| Chris: | So I want to ask you a question about what you just said before this about, do you think those people know what happens at the bar, you know we’re just bringing this in just for you and we’re ordering 12 bottles every two weeks? |
| Mark: | Oh, they know. They know. |
| Chris: | All right, would they like… |
| Dan: | I think they know to a certain extent. I know that the person you’re talking about with the Sailor Jerrys. |
| Matt: | He knows. |
| Dan: | We’ve not only brought in Sailor Jerry’s for him or Sailor Jerry for him, but we also brought in Dr. Pepper on the gun for him. |
| Matt: | Yeah, which I love. |
| Dan: | I don’t think he probably understands how much he goes through every week. |
| Matt: | No. |
| Dan: | Because I think that’s the beautiful thing of hiding behind the curtain is when you come to a bar and order it. |
| Matt: | You don’t have that at your house. |
| Dan: | Yeah, you don’t realise. |
| Mark: | You’re not walking a bottle in every day. |
| Dan: | Right, right. Yeah. |
| Matt: | Which you could with what he spends. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | But this person we’re talking about, I really like him. He’s a really nice guy. |
| Dan: | He’s a great guy. |
| Matt: | But yes, he drinks a lot of Sailor Jerry. |
| Dan: | And there’s a lot of people around this bar that that’s the way it works. And I’ve seen that around bars all around Omaha. I don’t know what it’s like around the country because I don’t see that. But it’s just amazing to me how the alcohol industry is propped up on the few. And literally, if somebody dies or goes to rehab, you can watch the numbers per month. |
| Mark: | Belvedere. |
| Dan: | Yeah. You can watch the numbers per month plummet. |
| Chris: | Yeah, because that alcoholic stopped buying my stuff. I can’t order pizza for lunch. |
| Dan: | Right. |
| Mark: | A point with Belvedere that my rep that sells it, if I don’t order a case for a couple weeks, he’ll look at me and go, is blank dead? No, he’s in rehab. Oh, okay. |
| Matt: | He has actually slowed down his drinking quite a bit. We don’t see him near his office. |
| Chris: | He posts a lot of pictures of his grandkids and fishing, I feel like. |
| Matt: | Oh, are you Facebook friends with him? |
| Chris: | Yeah. Yeah. I feel like… |
| Dan: | That was nice of you. |
| Chris: | Yeah, there’s a change if we’re talking about the same. |
| Dan: | We are. |
| Matt: | We are. |
| Chris: | Okay. Yeah. |
| Dan: | Rhymes with Smeary. Oh, I shouldn’t have said that. Because he is, I don’t know. He annoys the fuck out of me too but let’s just move on. |
| Matt: | Sometimes he’s great, sometimes he’s annoying. |
| Dan: | We have a Whiskey Wednesday coming up. This is going to be the Young to the Old. Knob Creek, starting with the nine-year, then trying the 18. Henry McKenna, starting with the six-year, then going with the 10-year. |
| Matt: | 10-year, 10 year bottled-in-bond. |
| Dan: | Elijah Craig single barrel, and then going to the 18. |
| Matt: | Yep. |
| Dan: | Matt, tell us a little bit more about the inspiration behind this. |
| Matt: | Honestly, this one came out of Kevin’s Brain. |
| Mark: | It did. |
| Matt: | So it’s basically just trying entry-level stuff versus what some of the top dog stuff is and telling the difference what a few more years will do to a whiskey. In this case, a bourbon. |
| Dan: | Yeah. And these are always the ones that I do really enjoy because you get such a different flavor profile. So much difference. And this is again, telling stories of how I expanded in the world. That Glenmoe vertical, just trying it from the 15 to the 18 and then the 18 to the 21 was crazy. |
| Matt: | It can be a big difference. |
| Mark: | Moment of silence. Glenmoe is no longer making the 10. I know. Sorry. |
| Dan: | Their entry level… |
| Mark: | Is now the 12. They are no longer bottling nor selling the 10. |
| Dan: | And a $40 bottle of scotch just went to- |
| Chris: | How does the wizard feel about. |
| Dan: | … a $90 bottle of scotch for the 12? |
| Mark: | No, it’s still pretty reasonable. |
| Chris: | The fact that they don’t even think about the Wizard. |
| Matt: | $3,000 for the 12 year. |
| Dan: | I really tried to be the one to keep that distillery propped up, but I can only do so much. |
| Chris: | Magic couldn’t even do it. |
| Dan: | This is all going down December, by the way. |
| Mark: | There is a tap takeover. What do we… |
| Dan: | Oh, it hung up on her. My girlfriend was calling during the podcast. Cue Tom, does Sarah know that we do a podcast every Monday from 11 to noon? |
| Mark: | There is a tap takeover Thursday night. |
| Dan: | Tomorrow night if you’re listening on publish day, which you should. |
| Mark: | And it’s a tap takeover for Sarro Cider. |
| Dan: | Sarro, oh. |
| Mark: | Out of Lincoln. |
| Dan: | Nice. That Whiskey Wednesday that we’re talking about, it’s coming up December 4th. Oddly enough on a Wednesday. |
| Mark: | You want to hear the bad part about that? |
| Dan: | Sarro is not that good. |
| Mark: | No. |
| Dan: | Oh. |
| Matt: | For people that like cider Sarro is very good. |
| Mark: | Next whiskey tasting Kansas basketball is coming to Creighton. |
| Chris: | Yeah, that’s crazy. That’s going to be a… |
| Mark: | What day is it going to be? December 4th. |
| Dan: | Oh really? You have the power to say, screw it. We’re doing a whiskey Thursday |
| Mark: | And everybody will show up on Wednesday and be pissed. |
| Dan: | Until they realize that you took advantage of your season tickets to Creighton and went and watched the Creighton Kansas game. And then they’ll say, that sucks. But also we get it. |
| Matt: | That’s fair. |
| Dan: | I’ve seen a very distracted Whiskey Wednesday that night when he’s sitting there facing the TVs. |
| Mark: | Here’s the other issue. I have two very good customers, both of which are huge Kansas fans. Both of which have asked if I’m not using my tickets, can they buy them? |
| Dan: | I think you should sell them each a ticket. Let them go together. |
| Mark: | Well, the problem is one has a wife who is also a big- |
| Dan: | Yeah. That is a big problem. That’s why I never got a wife- |
| Matt: | Well, legally. |
| Dan: | True. |
| Mark: | So now I’m looking at it going, okay, Troy is a really nice guy. |
| Matt: | Not that Troy. |
| Dan: | Oh. |
| Mark: | Troy… |
| Dan: | I was thrown off by the really nice guy part. Just kidding. Just kidding. |
| Mark: | Troy and Trevor. |
| Dan: | Yeah, yeah, yeah. |
| Mark: | Troy has already asked. |
| Dan: | Okay. |
| Mark: | And Mike Herger. |
| Dan: | Yeah. I would say sell them each a ticket. Let them go. Create a new friendship. Have a good time. They’re Kansas fans. |
| Mark: | I thought about it. |
| Dan: | They may create a new love life. |
| Mark: | I thought about putting the caveat on it. |
| Dan: | Nobody, I thought that was a better joke than that. |
| Matt: | It wasn’t. |
| Mark: | Whoever gets them has to wear a Creighton sweatshirt to the game. |
| Dan: | All right, I think that’s going to do it for us. Make sure to The Library Pub on Facebook so that we can keep up to date with all the deals, specials, new bottles that are coming in, tap takeovers. |
| Chris: | And hit subscribe on our podcast. We never say that. I feel like that needs to be in the intro. We don’t do that. Hit subscribe if you really think we’re funny and you like us. |
| Dan: | The things we say, though I am not entirely sure we need to be an an internet sensation. |
| Matt: | Well, I mean we can be. |
| Chris: | It’ll teach us to not say some of the things that we do. |
| Mark: | Not really. |
| Dan: | It might. |
