Podcast Transcription
| Dan: | Episode 238 of the Library Pubcast. |
| Mark: | Whoopee. |
| Dan: | Being recorded on a very chilly day in Omaha, Nebraska, a day that apparently things decided to get very breaky over the weekend, in the Library Pub. |
| Matt: | They did. |
| Dan: | Currently, we have a gentleman working on our D-taps cooler. We currently have a plumber on the way to fix the main drain, out of the bar. That is not a euphemism. |
| Matt: | Which just- |
| Dan: | Our main drain is actually clogged. |
| Matt: | It’s been two years since we’ve had to call someone out- |
| Dan: | That’s amazing. |
| Matt: | To have that [inaudible 00:00:37]- |
| Dan: | And Matt, do you want to tell the story why? |
| Matt: | I’d like to say it’s because I bought a screen to put on it. |
| Dan: | I think that is exactly why it happened. |
| Matt: | So I’m guessing there’s probably some straws down there. |
| Dan: | Could be. Could be. |
| Matt: | And maybe some chunks of fruit. |
| Dan: | We also have somebody coming to fix our heater, because when it’s negative temperatures outside, heaters tend to have to work a little bit harder, and then their weaknesses get exposed. |
| Matt: | It’s not happy. |
| Dan: | This sounds like a post-game press conference. |
| Matt: | I’m not happy, as I pulled up we hit our daily high for today, at 10:30 this morning. |
| Dan: | We’re also going to have to get a stereo repair guy out here because our stereo apparently is on the click. |
| Chris: | I love the way a guy that barely shows up for one shift a week, is all about us. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | It’s- |
| Dan: | Well, it is the Library Pubcast. Other than that- |
| Matt: | I like how Dan’s worried about it. |
| Dan: | Yeah, I’m worried about a lot of stuff. |
| Matt: | I try not to worry about too much. |
| Chris: | Worrying does nothing. |
| Dan: | Yeah, you’re right, it just makes my hair go gray or fall out faster. All right, let’s talk weekends. I’ll start, because Chris wants to start a fight. |
| Chris: | No, I don’t. No, I don’t. No, I was actually going to… Go ahead, I’ll let you [inaudible 00:01:45]- |
| Dan: | Let me say my piece- |
| Chris: | So [inaudible 00:01:46]- |
| Dan: | … and then you can tell me how wrong I am. I had a good weekend- |
| Chris: | You’re wrong. |
| Dan: | … it was fun. |
| Chris: | Sorry. |
| Dan: | Let’s just cut to the chase, in the Chiefs, Texans game on Saturday, I think the NFL absolutely needs to do something about flopping calls. |
| Matt: | I agree. |
| Chris: | I agree. |
| Dan: | Okay, so before- |
| Chris: | Yeah, [inaudible 00:02:02]- |
| Dan: | … you get all hot and bothered- |
| Chris: | What I was going to say that you guys made me stop before the podcast, was that I was amazed at how many Chiefs fans saw it, and commented on it finally. |
| Dan: | I think- |
| Chris: | That was pretty impressive and I was like, “All right.” |
| Dan: | … a little bit self-serving. I think a big part of that was that Troy Aikman was also calling them out on it. |
| Chris: | Oh dude- |
| Matt: | They [inaudible 00:02:21]- |
| Chris: | … Troy Aikman on air said, “Give me a break.” |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Yep. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Yep, I heard that in the background. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | The other thing that I was cracked up about was there was a pass that I think was called completed and Aikman was saying, “I don’t think that’s a pass.” As he was going to the ground, the ball was kind of fumbling around. |
| Matt: | Oh, yeah, I know what you’re talking about. |
| Dan: | And they called in the rules expert and he’s like, “The way we’re looking at it now, as he’s going to the ground, yes, the ball’s moving, but he still has it within the general zone, in possession, and it hits the [inaudible 00:02:53], da, da, da, da.” And Troy just goes, “Well, I guess I don’t know what a completed pass is anymore.” |
| Matt: | Which he has had a lot of head injuries. |
| Dan: | He has, yeah. But he’s great, he’s so much better than Tom Brady. |
| Chris: | Give Tom Brady a chance. |
| Matt: | I like Romo. |
| Chris: | Yeah. I like Romo. I like Romo because he tells it from the player’s perspective. Tom Brady’s not there yet, but Romo is like… I mean, even after that Ravens game, he was like, “Man, I’ve been there. I’ve been in their shoes. I feel bad for Mark Andrews. I feel bad for Lamar Jackson, but especially the way they played all season to let that happened.” |
| Dan: | Well, think about that play that he was involved in where he was the holder for, I don’t remember if it was a field goal or a point after attempt, but he fumbled the snap, or catching the snap, and got up and tried to run it into the end zone. If he’d have scored, they’d have won the game. Instead, he got tackled on the two-yard line and the game was over. He’s been in those heartbreaking situations where he was just that freaking close to taking one of the worst franchises in the last 25 years to a playoff game. |
| Matt: | I think they should have Jim Kelly become an analyst, then you really get it from a loser’s perspective. |
| Dan: | Is he still alive? |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | I think he is, yeah. |
| Matt: | I think so. |
| Dan: | I thought he had some rare disease. |
| Chris: | Yeah, I thought he had something wrong with him too. |
| Dan: | He’s really frail. |
| Matt: | So am I sometimes. |
| Dan: | I was really happy with the Chiefs defense. They did a fantastic job, Sacked CJ Stroud, seven times? |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | Yeah, even when defense came on. |
| Dan: | Eight times, something like that. I mean, my God- |
| Chris: | Came on. |
| Dan: | … Karlaftis had four. |
| Matt: | It’s hard for the refs to cheat for the defense. |
| Dan: | It is. They try though. They do try. By the way, Jim Kelly is still alive, 64 years of age. |
| Matt: | Oh, yeah. He’d be perfect. |
| Dan: | And he’s got a birthday coming up in a couple of weeks, February 14th. |
| Matt: | Oh, he’s a Valentine’s Day baby. |
| Dan: | God, Saturday I got to drive to David City, Nebraska. |
| Matt: | Why? |
| Dan: | There was a racers swap meet, a group of friends put this thing together, where basically racers can get together in a convention hall and buy seats, and A-arms, and helmets, and new suits and all this stuff. |
| Matt: | Did you say seats and ARs? |
| Dan: | A-arms. |
| Matt: | Oh. |
| Dan: | Arms. |
| Matt: | Arms. |
| Dan: | The arm- |
| Matt: | I thought you said ARs, I was going to say, Well, that’s an odd one to toss-“ |
| Dan: | That was in the building over. |
| Matt: | “… in the mix at a race car thing.” |
| Dan: | Yeah. So I will- |
| Matt: | Get your [inaudible 00:05:20], boys. |
| Dan: | I will make sure and point this out to any of the Tesla haters out there, after 98,000 miles, I finally had a tough time with my car. |
| Chris: | Oh, what? |
| Dan: | Driving… What is David City? Somewhere around, I think 65, 70 miles away. |
| Matt: | It’s straight north of Lincoln and straight south of Columbus. |
| Dan: | Yep. I finally had charge issues. So there’s obviously not a lot of chargers out in that area. So we got to the… I started at 95%, which should be about 300 and some odd miles. |
| Matt: | And it was nice, it was- |
| Dan: | No it was not. |
| Matt: | No, the weather? |
| Dan: | It was bitter cold. |
| Chris: | Was it cold? Oh, I guess it was cold on the- |
| Dan: | And windy. |
| Chris: | Yeah, that’s right. |
| Matt: | Yeah, it’s real windy. |
| Chris: | That’s right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. |
| Matt: | When you- |
| Dan: | If you get out- |
| Chris: | Yeah, it was super windy there. |
| Matt: | That’s right, [inaudible 00:06:06]. |
| Dan: | Oh, you get out to that area [inaudible 00:06:07]- |
| Chris: | I was thinking of the [inaudible 00:06:07]- |
| Dan: | I mean- |
| Matt: | There’s no wind breaks. |
| Dan: | Yeah. Yeah, so- |
| Matt: | Those little bales of hay don’t do much. |
| Dan: | No. And there’s hardly any trees. There is plenty of anti-abortion billboards though. |
| Matt: | Oh, yeah. |
| Dan: | Yeah, we were counting them as we were driving out. |
| Matt: | As one of our customers says- |
| Dan: | Nine. |
| Matt: | … “Suck a dick, save a life.” |
| Dan: | So we got there and we had to drive up to Columbus, let the car charge for about four hours and then get home. So it was a little bit of a pain in the ass, but I excused away, 98,000 miles and I finally had an issue, I think I’m doing pretty good. |
| Chris: | What it is, do you think it’s like the charging port? Or do you think it’s- |
| Dan: | No, it was definitely… It was the wind and the cold. |
| Chris: | Oh, okay. All right. Cool, cool, cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. |
| Dan: | So trying to keep the car- |
| Chris: | Got it. Got it. |
| Dan: | … warm was a pain in the ass, and then that wind was just killing- |
| Chris: | You’ll figure it out. |
| Matt: | Probably tough with no motor. |
| Dan: | Yeah, it really is. |
| Matt: | You’ll figure it out. |
| Dan: | And- |
| Matt: | You’ll figure it out. |
| Dan: | Yeah. So anyways, then Sunday worked at the pub, had a great shift. Seven in a row, right? Or is it eight? |
| Matt: | Eight. |
| Dan: | It’s eight? I’ve lost track. |
| Chris: | Eight shifts in a row, you’ve worked? |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | Good work, dude. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Well, eight weeks in a row. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Right. Sure. |
| Dan: | No, eight shifts in a row. Same thing, I work one shift a week. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | If somebody asks me I’ll help out, but yeah, eight weeks, eight shifts. |
| Chris: | What about night [inaudible 00:07:23]- |
| Dan: | ESPN is currently calculating the stats on that, [inaudible 00:07:25] |
| Matt: | Because you have to remember I do eight shifts in a row, in a week and a half. |
| Dan: | Yeah. No, I… How would I forget that? |
| Matt: | I don’t know. |
| Dan: | Every time I make this joke, somebody reminds me that I work one shift a week. |
| Matt: | But that’s- |
| Dan: | But still. |
| Matt: | That’s perfect for a part-time bartender. |
| Dan: | Anyways, had a good shift on Sunday, it was fun. |
| Matt: | Eileen’s cookies. |
| Dan: | Oh, by the way, Danny Whaley ate the rest of your, ate, drank the rest of your Pimm’s. |
| Matt: | That doesn’t surprise me. What the funny thing is, he was down there talking to Eileen and he’s like, “Oh, it’s not really that impressive.” And- |
| Dan: | What? |
| Matt: | The Pimm’s. |
| Dan: | Pimm’s? Oh. |
| Matt: | Yeah. Which I said, “Danny, I don’t get it because it’s impressive or I’m trying to impress anyone, I enjoy drinking Pimm’s.” |
| Dan: | Yeah, I think he enjoyed it too. |
| Mark: | What is the ABV on Pimm’s? |
| Matt: | 30%, 35%, I think. |
| Mark: | Okay. Not quite 40%? |
| Matt: | So not real high. I’m good. I’m good, I’ve got to got. Thank you. |
| Dan: | But yeah, he ended up finishing that bottle and- |
| Matt: | Not surprising. |
| Dan: | And he seems to the last couple of months been on the hunt for something different. When I first started noticing him as a big regular, and that was a long time after he’d been a regular here, he was very much into beers, and the German beers and some eclectic beers, and just some different stuff. Just recently he switched to doing some gins every once in a while. |
| Matt: | He jumps around. |
| Dan: | Yeah. And he’s on the search and I think he found something with that Pimm’s. So we may want to order a full case. |
| Mark: | No. |
| Matt: | With Danny Whaley, you never- |
| Dan: | Well, Danny Whaley- |
| Matt: | … know. |
| Dan: | … and you. I mean you’re enjoying it right now. |
| Matt: | Which I do, I drink probably a third of a bottle on Sundays. |
| Dan: | Yeah. So anyways- |
| Matt: | Which it wasn’t horrible with the diet pop. |
| Dan: | Got home Sunday night and watched the last, what, minute and a half of the Buffalo-Ravens game, which was awesome. |
| Matt: | That was a fun game to watch. |
| Dan: | Yeah, very good game. |
| Matt: | Excuse me. |
| Dan: | And… |
| Matt: | It’s still going. |
| Dan: | Yeah. What do we got to fix now? |
| Matt: | Because I ate tacos for dinner last night. |
| Dan: | Chris, how was your weekend? You’ve just come off- |
| Chris: | I was on vacation |
| Dan: | … a full week of vacation. |
| Chris: | Yeah. Yep. I actually vacationed. It was weird, someone ran my territory. |
| Dan: | Did you go somewhere? |
| Chris: | No. |
| Mark: | No, they didn’t. |
| Chris: | No, we didn’t because Jen was super sick all week. |
| Mark: | I was commenting on no one ran your territory. |
| Chris: | Oh, someone- |
| Dan: | At least they didn’t come- |
| Mark: | They didn’t come here. |
| Chris: | No, I know that. |
| Matt: | Yeah, they- |
| Chris: | Yeah, I know that. |
| Matt: | They ran the majority of your territory. |
| Chris: | They ran most of my territory. But is was good, I didn’t really have too many phone calls. We’ll see what the paycheck looks like, but- |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | … whatever. It was all right. It was all right. It’s just everybody was sick, so it’s like, might as well just been sick instead of calling it a vacation. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | So- |
| Dan: | I mean, it’s a smart thing to take vacation in January, because I think you’re going going to… Ooh, that’s hot as shit. You’re going to lessen the impact on the paycheck, because it sucks in January right now. |
| Chris: | What did we do? I saw Sonic 3. |
| Dan: | Ooh. |
| Matt: | I’ve heard it’s really good. |
| Chris: | Dude, Jim Carrey is a freaking national treasure. He’s just so good. It was funny, I saw a meme that had four comedic actors that were on it, Will Ferrell, Dave Chappelle, one other guy, and Jim Carrey. And I go to the comments and they’re like, “Keep one, all the rest die.” And barely anybody was choosing Jim Carrey. And I’m like, “Do you guys even follow his career? Because the dude is…” First of all… Anyway, don’t get me started. But Jim Carrey is awesome, he’s great in it, it’s really good movie, see it. |
| Matt: | His- |
| Dan: | I like him as a dramatic actor too. |
| Chris: | Yeah. Dude- |
| Matt: | His problem, he’s been out of the limelight for too long. |
| Chris: | Yeah, I like it that he’s now going like, “Hey man, I’m only taking stuff that really interests me.” And the fact that he did three Sonic movies, is awesome to me. Just he’s so freaking good in it. |
| Matt: | Well, he retired. |
| Chris: | Yeah, he’s totally retired |
| Matt: | Until they threw this at him and he… And from what I’ve heard, he hemmed and hawed for about a month, and then was like, “Oh yeah, I have to do this.” |
| Chris: | Yeah, and he was so good, dude. |
| Matt: | Well, who else would play- |
| Chris: | So good. |
| Matt: | … Doctor Robotnik? |
| Chris: | I have no idea. No idea you. |
| Matt: | You? |
| Chris: | No. Yeah, I mean I did. It was pretty good. |
| Matt: | One night. |
| Chris: | One night. |
| Matt: | It was funny. |
| Chris: | It was funny. What else? Nothing really, got Howie into playing some Fall Guys, which is a fun game. Yeah, not really too much anything. Watched football the last two weekends. That’s it. |
| Dan: | Yep. |
| Chris: | That’s it. Oh. Oh, I know. I’m in this music league. |
| Dan: | What? |
| Chris: | Which is really weird. |
| Dan: | A music league? |
| Chris: | Yeah, I should get you guys… Yeah, we should get into it. We should… Us four should do something with this. So what this music league, it’s done on Spotify, you don’t have to be a member of Spotify, but what it is there’s rounds. For example, one of the rounds is Brassy, it’s called Brassy, and it’s songs only with horns, like a horn section or something like that. So then you go and you put your song in there, nobody knows who put what songs, then you go in and there’s a voting period. Then you go and you listen to the song and you vote on it, and then at the end it tallies everything and you have rounds, and obviously whoever’s wins, wins. But it’s cool, I’m in this league with 15 other people and I think there’s a lot of younger than 20 kids in there, because man, I’m throwing out what I feel like is fire, and I feel like I probably have a little bit more of a eclectic music knowledge than most people. Because man, they’re throwing out top 50, and I’m throwing out stuff that’s not top 50s, and it’s getting one or two votes and people are like, “Oh, I’ve never heard this before.” And blah, blah, blah. |
| Matt: | Does it have to be current stuff? |
| Chris: | No. |
| Matt: | Can it be old? It can be- |
| Chris: | Totally. |
| Matt: | … be any music? |
| Chris: | Any music. |
| Matt: | So you could throw Beethoven out there- |
| Chris: | Totally. |
| Matt: | … if you really wanted to? |
| Chris: | Yeah, you could. One of them was, title track that matches the name of the song, or the album. So Back In Black, AC/DC song, also the name of an album, so something like that. So it’s fun, but Mark’s getting bored, so let’s continue. |
| Mark: | No, Mark is already bored. He’s not getting there. |
| Dan: | Mark, how was your weekend? And if you don’t start with Creighton, I don’t know what the hell we’re doing here. |
| Mark: | I was so excited about that Creighton game. Because first of all, I thought the line was right, which was UConn by eight and a half. And I sat up here and watched the entire game, got in my car, went home and watched the entire game again. When they decide to do it, they can, it’s just they don’t always decide to do it. |
| Matt: | They’re very inconsistent. |
| Mark: | Where does Miya Neal come from? That first half was incredible. |
| Matt: | Even a broke clocks right twice a day. |
| Mark: | Yeah. Other than that, believe it or not, for being sub-zero temperatures, the bar did well this weekend. And now I have my rant- |
| Dan: | I’m actually surprised, like you, how busy the bar was, because typically when it’s bitter cold like this, people just don’t come out. They stay at home. |
| Mark: | And here’s my rant. I walked in this morning, music was broke, one of the cake boxes is broke, the popcorn machine is broke and one of the furnaces is not working. |
| Dan: | God Dang. It it sounds like- |
| Mark: | And Matt, I walked in this morning, the chairs along the bar were touching each other, all the way down the bar, but that table only had two chairs at it. |
| Matt: | I closed the bar a lot, and it’s really not all that hard just to look around. |
| Mark: | If you look at a table and there’s only two chairs at it, something is wrong. |
| Matt: | Well, when I got here yesterday, I brought my meat and cheese tray in, I set it down, I dumped everything into the tray and I looked at the table next to the popcorn machine, and it was all the way out in the walkway, right in the middle of the walkway. It’s obvious, it’s just about looking around and everyone’s in such a hurry to get out of the bar. You’re getting paid till you lock the door, so I don’t know why everyone’s in such a hurry to go home and do nothing, at 1:00 in the morning, 2:00 in the morning. I don’t get it. |
| Mark: | Well, as I have always said about closing, I’m going to pay until the report’s run. Now if you want to lock the door and have beer, and then run the report, okay. |
| Dan: | And this happens in the bar service, restaurant industry. |
| Matt: | Oh, it’s- |
| Dan: | I mean it’s- |
| Matt: | It’s happened at every bar restaurant I’ve ever worked at. |
| Dan: | It doesn’t just happen here. |
| Matt: | No. |
| Dan: | The eternal friction between the closing crew and the opening crew, is… That should be made a movie. It should- |
| Chris: | It’s literally- |
| Dan: | I’ve seen it on- |
| Chris: | It could like [inaudible 00:17:06]. |
| Dan: | … reels. |
| Chris: | It literally could be made into a movie. |
| Matt: | I just watched a movie called Slammin’ Salmon. |
| Dan: | Slammin’? |
| Matt: | It’s from- |
| Dan: | Is it a porn? |
| Matt: | It’s from- |
| Dan: | It kind of sounds like a porn. |
| Matt: | It’s from the guys that did the- |
| Dan: | Lizard Guys? |
| Matt: | … Super Trooper movies. |
| Chris: | Lizard Guys. The Lizard [inaudible 00:17:24]- |
| Dan: | Oh. No, it’s he Super Trooper guy. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | What is the name of their… Anyway, go ahead, sorry. |
| Matt: | And it’s got Michael Clark Duncan in it. |
| Chris: | Oh, nice. |
| Matt: | And he plays a Mike Tyson-esque boxer. |
| Dan: | He’s the dead guy, right? Big- |
| Matt: | Yeah, that was in Green Mile. |
| Chris: | Okay, got it. Yeah. |
| Matt: | That he owns a restaurant, and all of those guys are waiters, and managers and all that stuff, in this restaurant. It’s great. |
| Chris: | Oh. |
| Matt: | Check it out. Slammin’ Salmon. |
| Chris: | Slammin’ Salmon. Huh, what’s it on? |
| Matt: | I watched it on Tubi I think, and they have outtakes, so just the outtakes are worth watching. He was talking about being scared of the dark, and he is like, “Didn’t you watch Green Mile? I’m scared of the Dark.” |
| Dan: | I do think the bear scene in Super Troopers is probably one of my top five biggest laughs of all time. When he awkwardly yells, “Hey bearfucker-“ |
| Chris: | Dude- |
| Dan: | “… are you okay?” |
| Chris: | I don’t know how you get through making some of those scenes of those movies, there’s people I couldn’t act with. |
| Matt: | How the movie ever gets finished. |
| Chris: | Yeah, I just- |
| Kev: | [inaudible 00:18:40] Tacoma FD? |
| Dan: | No. |
| Kev: | It’s the Super Trooper cast- |
| Matt: | Oh, is that the- |
| Kev: | … but a fire department. |
| Matt: | Yeah, that’s the fire department. |
| Dan: | Oh my God. |
| Matt: | And it’s like a TV show. |
| Kev: | It’s fucking hilarious. |
| Chris: | What’s the name of it? What’s the name of it? |
| Kev: | Tacoma FD. |
| Chris: | Tacoma FD? Okay. |
| Kev: | It is… If you like Super Troopers, it’s the same humor except fire department. |
| Chris: | You just ruined the next- |
| Kev: | [inaudible 00:19:01]. |
| Chris: | … 15 hours of my life. How many seasons is it? |
| Kev: | I think two or three. |
| Chris: | Oh, shit. |
| Dan: | Not enough. |
| Chris: | Well I’m locked down to my garage for the next three weeks. |
| Matt: | Which I just watched- |
| Kev: | [inaudible 00:19:12]- |
| Matt: | … Disjointed again too. |
| Chris: | Great. |
| Kev: | The big guy? |
| Chris: | Yeah, yeah, yeah. |
| Kev: | He’s the captain of the fire department. |
| Chris: | A liter of cola, please. |
| Matt: | Does that look like spit? |
| Dan: | I don’t want a liter of cola. |
| Matt: | Ah, fuck it. |
| Dan: | Ah, fuck it. |
| Chris: | [inaudible 00:19:24]- |
| Dan: | Matt, how was your weekend? |
| Matt: | It was good. I worked on Friday, didn’t do a whole lot Saturday, it was nice. And yesterday came up to the bar, had a couple drinks, watched a little football and yeah, had tacos at my brother’s house for dinner. So that was nice, you never go wrong with tacos. |
| Dan: | Oh, never go wrong with tacos. By the way, if I could pat myself on the back a little bit, I think the Tater tot bar went well. |
| Matt: | The Tater tot bar was rock-solid. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | The Tater tots were delightful. The chili was really good, Evan’s cheese dip was fantastic. |
| Dan: | By the way, I have decided, officially at the end of the podcast today, we’re going to play a game. So just prepare yourself, we may go a little long today. |
| Matt: | A game? |
| Dan: | Yeah, it’s going to be a game. |
| Matt: | Do you want to play a game? |
| Dan: | You guys want to. I think it’ll be fun, we’ll see how it goes. We may edit it all out if it doesn’t go very well. |
| Chris: | Still, by the way, a good movie. |
| Matt: | Great movie. |
| Dan: | All right, so- |
| Chris: | Oh. |
| Matt: | [inaudible 00:20:23]- |
| Dan: | … let’s talk- |
| Matt: | The original. |
| Dan: | … TikTok getting banned for about 10 minutes. |
| Chris: | And people freaking the F out. |
| Matt: | Oh my God. |
| Chris: | [inaudible 00:20:31], dude. |
| Matt: | You would’ve thought that they said there were no more cell phones, the way people were acting. |
| Chris: | Yeah. Which we should have stopped at flip phones, but that’s neither here nor there. |
| Matt: | I do miss my flip phone. |
| Chris: | How awesome would life be if we just had flip phones, and everybody had to do all their internet and social media on a freaking laptop? |
| Dan: | Yeah, or using a T9. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | The T9 input sucked. |
| Chris: | [inaudible 00:20:55] T9 input- |
| Matt: | No. No, that part sucked. |
| Chris: | Yeah, actually that did suck. I thought I was a superhero when I got a Blackberry because I had all the letters. |
| Dan: | Oh my God, yeah. My God, it- |
| Chris: | And you could scroll around. |
| Matt: | It’s when you could use both hands to text. |
| Dan: | I really did feel a sense of accomplishment when I was able to type out a text message, without looking at my phone. |
| Matt: | Or counting. |
| Dan: | And then also I was slightly ashamed. |
| Matt: | You were doing the ABCs and spelling words at the same time, with the T9. |
| Chris: | Do you know what movie made me like jones for new technology? Was frickin the Matrix. Right in the first opening scene when he gets the frickin, the phone that goes, it comes down when he’s very first getting called, and he calls and he goes, because it pops down. I’m like, “That’s the coolest frickin phone ever. This movie rules.” |
| Matt: | Whoa. |
| Dan: | Oh, I definitely, because I had the razor flip phone, there were several times in important situations, I flipped it out like a Star Trek communicator. |
| Matt: | Like a switch-blade? |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | It needed… That was one thing that it really did miss out on. The Motorola Razor was amazing and did a lot of really cool stuff, but the fact that it didn’t have the Tricorder opening up sound, really missed out. Of course they also probably tried to do it and got sued by Star Trek. |
| Chris: | Whiskey. |
| Dan: | So yeah, let’s drink some whiskey, because we got a game to play. |
| Matt: | Hold on, I got to pour it. |
| Dan: | All right, anything else going on this weekend? Oh, we lost Bob Uecker. |
| Mark: | Yes. |
| Dan: | Mr. Baseball. |
| Mark: | At 90. |
| Dan: | At 90. |
| Mark: | He had a good run. |
| Dan: | He had a great run. Really, I mean, honestly, he was- |
| Mark: | For a very mediocre baseball- |
| Dan: | Yeah, he wasn’t great. |
| Mark: | … player- |
| Matt: | Oh, at best. |
| Mark: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | I think… Should we- |
| Matt: | Mediocre at best. |
| Mark: | Yes. |
| Chris: | Is this our first or second show of the new year? Second? |
| Matt: | First? |
| Chris: | Second? |
| Dan: | Second- |
| Mark: | Bob Uecker’s Best Wine. |
| Dan: | … at least. Yeah, it’s our second. |
| Mark: | Should we- |
| Matt: | Just a bit outside. |
| Mark: | Absolutely. Just a bit outside. |
| Dan: | This is the difficult thing. So we had one that published on New Year’s Day. |
| Chris: | Oh. |
| Dan: | Because we published on Wednesday- |
| Chris: | So technically- |
| Dan: | …so we recorded it in 2024, but it published in ’25. |
| Chris: | So I think… What do you guys think about this? We always talk about people dying and why don’t we do our own death pool? We get to do someone old, someone someone- |
| Matt: | Someone new. |
| Chris: | Someone new. |
| Matt: | Someone borrowed, someone blue. |
| Chris: | Yeah, something like that. Someone old, that’s old. |
| Matt: | Like Bob Uecker. |
| Chris: | Someone new… Like Bob Uecker. Someone new, in their 20s, or you think that is… And then someone- |
| Mark: | Amy Whinehouse. Oh no, she’s already dead. |
| Dan: | Oh, she’s long gone. |
| Chris: | Yeah, I don’t- |
| Dan: | Tragic. |
| Mark: | We could- |
| Dan: | I mean she is irony, right? Her biggest hit was a song that she won’t go to rehab, and then she ends up dying of drug overdose. I mean- |
| Matt: | Alcoholism. |
| Dan: | Wow. Oh, was it alcoholism? |
| Matt: | They said her apartment had so many empty bottles of vodka and- |
| Dan: | Yeah, that’s hard, dude. |
| Matt: | … just shit all over- |
| Dan: | God. |
| Matt: | … the place. |
| Dan: | Yep. Oops. I wouldn’t mind doing a death pool, I don’t know how interactive we could make it, because it’d be fun if we get fans involved. |
| Chris: | Sure. |
| Dan: | But how many of our 23, 28 listens people- |
| Matt: | I bet we could get [inaudible 00:23:58]- |
| Dan: | … would play along? I mean- |
| Chris: | Listen, I don’t- |
| Matt: | [inaudible 00:24:02]. |
| Chris: | Listen here, this is about us. |
| Dan: | … [inaudible 00:24:02] anything? It’s going to create content. That’s fine. I don’t care if you guys want to do it- |
| Chris: | I don’t know. |
| Dan: | Let’s talk about it after the podcast- |
| Chris: | All right. All right. |
| Dan: | … ad then we’ll figure out if we’re going to do it, and we’ll launch it next week. Mark- |
| Chris: | This smells fantastic. |
| Dan: | … what is tickling my nose hairs? |
| Matt: | This is a fancy one. |
| Dan: | Oh God, I got it on my lip and I’m totally licking it off. |
| Matt: | Whoa, gross. |
| Mark: | This is… Sorry. |
| Dan: | It’s okay, you’re sounding like Sarah right now, she’s had a chest cold and cough. |
| Matt: | I’ve had a- |
| Dan: | A cough due to a cold for about a week now. |
| Matt: | I’ve had the flemmy chest for three weeks now. |
| Chris: | So has Jen. |
| Matt: | It’s the worst. |
| Chris: | And coughing and there’s… Yeah. |
| Dan: | I have tried very hard to be very sympathetic, but I reached a point on Saturday- |
| Chris: | Agreed. |
| Dan: | … where when she got to coughing her coughing to clear her throat sounds like she’s laughing, and I just can’t help but laugh along, and so she thinks- |
| Matt: | That’s [inaudible 00:24:57]. |
Chieftain’s Glenturret 25 Year Old
| Dan: | … I’m laughing at her. And so she’s, and so I start laughing as a reaction, and then I get in trouble. Mark? |
| Mark: | This is a- |
| Matt: | Good story. |
| Mark: | … Chieftain’s Private Labeled Scotch. It’s a Glenturret 25. Arguably Glenturret is the oldest license distillery, in Scotland, like 1763. |
| Chris: | That’s cool. I would’ve never gravitated towards this, just because of it being like- |
| Dan: | Blended scotch? |
| Chris: | … blended. I would’ve never even tried this, but it’s got a really nice nose sometimes. |
| Matt: | Sometimes I like to dig in the cabinets. |
| Mark: | This is not blended. |
| Dan: | It’s not? |
| Matt: | Nope, this is a single malt. |
| Dan: | What? Oh. |
| Chris: | Oh, this is a single? Okay, all right. |
| Dan: | I thought- |
| Chris: | But Chieftain’s- |
| Matt: | Chieftain’s is- |
| Chris: | … typically is. |
| Matt: | … repackage and sell. |
| Chris: | That’s right. |
| Dan: | Okay. |
| Mark: | They buy kegs, and then bottle it themselves. |
| Dan: | I was just [inaudible 00:25:54]- |
| Chris: | They’re going to be- |
| Dan: | … that they’re- |
| Chris: | … in the game, in the next few years. |
| Mark: | But this is worth remarking, because Glenturret, the oldest whiskey they put out under their name, is a 15, and this is his 25. |
| Chris: | Yeah. I know that there’s probably no rye in this, but I get a little spicy rye on that first sip. |
| Mark: | Well- |
| Matt: | Yeah, it’s- |
| Chris: | And I- |
| Mark: | … because it’s a single malt, definitionally, it’s got to be all single malt- |
| Chris: | Yeah, yeah. |
| Mark: | … barley. |
| Chris: | Yeah. Yeah. |
| Matt: | This is a little warm. 49.7. Distilled October of 1990, and bottled September of ’16. |
| Chris: | Is that older than your girlfriend? |
| Dan: | It is older than my girlfriend. |
| Chris: | I think, I was in sixth grade, seventh grade. |
| Matt: | 1990- |
| Dan: | Like ten years- |
| Matt: | … I was… |
| Chris: | Yeah, I was in sixth- |
| Matt: | … Eight. |
| Chris: | … or seventh grade. |
| Matt: | Eighth grade I think. |
| Chris: | Yeah, if you were in eighth, I was in sixth or seventh. Fifth, sixth, something like that. You’re old. |
| Mark: | That has a very nice sweetness, but to me, I think there’s a little too much peat on the finish. |
| Chris: | Yeah, it’s got a little burn on the finish. |
| Matt: | Dirty burn. |
| Chris: | Yeah. A little bit of a dirty burn. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | Number of bottles, 397. We couldn’t fake it and say 400? |
| Dan: | 400 wouldn’t have sounded realistic. |
| Chris: | 3- |
| Matt: | Watered down- |
| Chris: | … 97. |
| Matt: | … to 45%. |
| Dan: | And [inaudible 00:27:19]- |
| Chris: | Maybe these are the three bottles that, “Yeah, we-“ |
| Dan: | This is- |
| Chris: | “… wanted an even number.” |
| Dan: | This is the one reason, the biggest reason why I couldn’t be like a bar owner or a business owner, like that, is that I definitely would be the guy to be like, “We fucking ordered 400 bottles. You guys can’t stretch this out to make it even? Now I’ve got these three God damn bottles sitting around.” |
| Matt: | I priced this all wrong now, I’ll have to re-price all of it. |
| Dan: | So- |
| Matt: | I like this. |
| Chris: | I actually like this. |
| Dan: | I would not turn it away if Chris offered me a drink. |
| Matt: | Well, it’s nice and soft and fruity up front, and then you have that back end dirty burn. |
| Dan: | I like that word. We’re sticking with the dirty burn. |
| Matt: | Dirty burn. |
| Chris: | How’s it with water? Do anything to it? |
| Mark: | It calms down the dirty burn. |
| Chris: | The dirty burn. |
| Matt: | Library Pub, home of the- |
| Dan: | Do you want to jump right to your next one or do we want to talk- |
| Matt: | … dirty burn. |
| Dan: | … about what he touched on, with the potential issues with whiskeys in the next couple of years? |
| Mark: | I’m easy. |
| Matt: | Like a Sunday morning. |
| Chris: | So I read an article while I was on vacation, about- |
| Mark: | Congratulations. |
| Chris: | Thank you, I didn’t know I could get through it. |
| Matt: | It was tough. |
| Chris: | About whiskey and barrels, and- |
| Matt: | A lot of sounding out. |
| Chris: | … there’s a distiller in Colorado who- |
| Matt: | [inaudible 00:28:44] do that. |
| Chris: | … made his name, and the name is escaping me of course, but he would… Made his living on selling 2-year-old whiskeys, in the barrels, sell them, literally sell them for $2,000, $3,000 a pop, just get them out the door. He has over 500, 600 barrels, that he has discounted down all the way to, I don’t know, 1,000 bucks, and he cannot move them, at all. It is a scary situation how the drop-off is like that. |
| Dan: | Well, we’re dealing with… And what I was talking to a couple of people about it last week after, after, well the craze that hit during COVID, when everyone started drinking, all these distillers started laying down way more juice. And we’re getting this weird convergence where I think people are getting… They’re ready to try something different than just whiskeys, so I think the whiskey demand is dropping down a little bit, and now supply is about to hit a huge high and so prices are going to plummet. Plus we don’t know what’s going to go on with all these tariffs. They’re talking about adding tariffs to any whiskies that are imported into the United States, as revenge, Europe is talking about adding tariffs to any bourbon that comes into Europe, to just basically cancel each other out and make it expensive for the rest of us. And if that happens, I mean, at what point, Mark, do you stop buying scotch because it’s just too expensive, with the 40% tariff on it? |
| Mark: | I won’t stop buying scotch, but in the last year or two, I’ve limited myself to scotch that are under $2,000, under $1,500. I would leave that same number on there, it just means it wouldn’t be as old or as good of a scotch. In other words, a bottle of Glenlivet 18, if it costs 1,200 bucks, I’ll buy it, but I’m not going to buy the 21, because it’s over the limit. |
| Dan: | Yeah. So strategy-wise, would it be smarter for you to basically stock up now? |
| Mark: | Dude, have you looked around this place? |
| Dan: | I know. |
| Matt: | Stock up. |
| Chris: | No. I think- |
| Dan: | I know. |
| Chris: | … Mark is in a really, really good- |
| Dan: | Oh, he’s in- |
| Chris: | … and unique awesome position, because these people that want to try to get into it and jumped into the fad, he was already doing it five years before that. So he’s solidifying his place in the market, and I feel like these overpriced whiskey spots are going to die. |
| Dan: | All these little places- |
| Mark: | They’re defiantly going to struggle. |
| Dan: | … that are trying to bring in all these bourbons, to try to seem cool and they’re like, “Hey, we’ve got 15, 28 bottles on hand.” And I’m like, “That’s cute.” |
| Mark: | A bar that shall remain nameless, because it’s owned by a friend of mine, advertisers proudly on the radio, that he has 50 bourbons. |
| Dan: | Yeah, |
| Mark: | 50, 5-0. I have that on that shelf right there. |
| Dan: | It’s insane. We had a group, a couple come in on Sunday, that they live in Kansas City and they came up to Omaha to vacation. |
| Mark: | Wow. |
| Dan: | I did not say that backwards. And I actually mentioned to him and I go, “It’s kind of nice to get one, because there’s a lot of us up here that go down to Kansas City to have a quick vacation. It’s nice to get one up here.” And he goes, “You know what? We absolutely love this town, you guys are killing it with all the different stuff.” And it was the first time he stopped in here, they had Stag and the David Nicholson Reserve, and then a couple of drinks. And he’s like, “Anytime we come back up to Omaha, we will definitely be coming back here.” |
| Mark: | We’re getting drunk. |
| Dan: | It’s an awesome location. But yeah, I think, Mark, you’re in an awesome situation that you are going to be able to weather that storm a hell of a lot better, because it will more than likely, if it ever happens, which I don’t think it will, it’ll last for a very short time. |
| Mark: | Four years. |
| Dan: | Because all of these distillers and massive producers, are going to turn to the government and say, “We’ve got all this shit sitting around, you need to fucking get off your asses and start letting us make money.” And when people like us say that, the government says, “Oh no, don’t worry, we’re doing it.” But when big people like MGP, Diageo, Sazerac- |
| Matt: | People with money. |
| Dan: | With money, when they say it, the government says, “Oh, shit. Okay, we’ll do this.” |
| Matt: | Sometimes. |
| Mark: | Now the interesting part about here, is we never reprice a bottle. So if that Glenlivet 21 goes up 500 bucks, you’re still paying for a drink, for what I bought it for, before that. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Until we get into the new bottle. |
| Dan: | Right. |
| Matt: | We reprice when the price changes, but with that bottle. |
| Dan: | Right. Which- |
| Mark: | Right. So when I order another Glenlivet 21, it’ll be more expensive. |
| Dan: | Yep. So- |
| Mark: | But- |
| Chris: | I bet you… What do you guys think? You think Buffalo Trace is going to be available for everyday purchase, within two years? |
| Mark: | No. |
| Dan: | Yes. |
| Chris: | I think with those Rickhouses coming on board, I think that they’re going to have so much coming out of there. |
| Dan: | Yep. |
| Mark: | I think it could be- |
| Chris: | Their [inaudible 00:34:14] that they don’t- |
| Mark: | … between three and four. |
| Chris: | Okay. |
| Mark: | Because their new distillery just went online, and it’s a four-year brew. |
| Chris: | Fair. But what about all those Rickhouses they- |
| Dan: | Yeah, but when we took them on, they’d finished building… We took them on two years ago, they finished building five new Rickhouses, five new Rickhouses. |
| Matt: | Temperature- |
| Chris: | That hold 1,000,00 cases each. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | Or something- |
| Matt: | Temperature controlled. |
| Chris: | … like that. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | So they can- |
| Dan: | I think they said- |
| Matt: | … speed up the aging process- |
| Dan: | I think they- |
| Matt: | … if they really wanted to. |
| Dan: | I think they said they spent- |
| Chris: | [inaudible 00:34:40]. |
| Dan: | … $250,000,000, per Rickhouse. |
| Matt: | Oh, yeah. That’ll never happen. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Anyways. |
| Matt: | Sure. |
| Dan: | I think it’s on the verge too, I think we’re all in agreeance to just when it’s going to happen. Because it feels to me, it- |
| Mark: | Agreeance, is not a word. |
| Dan: | What’s that? |
| Mark: | Agreeance, is not- |
| Dan: | It’s not? |
| Mark: | No. |
| Dan: | Huh. I learned something. |
| Mark: | Agreement, is a word. |
| Dan: | Oh. |
| Mark: | Agreeance, is not a word. |
| Dan: | Well, thank you very much. |
| Chris: | Let’s see how many words- |
| Dan: | Chris and I- |
| Chris: | … we could say that aren’t words. |
| Dan: | Shit. Chris and I, I mean we obviously deal with Buffalo Trace every- |
| Matt: | [inaudible 00:35:10]- |
| Dan: | … fucking day of our life. I feel like there is more availability of Buffalo Trace, now, than there ever has been in the two years that we’ve distributed them. |
| Mark: | Well, I can tell from our allocations, there’s more out there. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | The problem is, there isn’t more of the older stuff, the Eagle Rares and the- |
| Dan: | Yeah, no, I don’t think Eagle Rare is going to come off the list- |
| Mark: | No. |
| Dan: | … for a long time. |
| Matt: | Well, it’s- |
| Chris: | I think the first ones would be Buffalo Trace and [inaudible 00:35:41]- |
| Dan: | Buffalo Trace is there. Especially since they’re [inaudible 00:35:42]- |
| Chris: | [inaudible 00:35:42] too. |
| Dan: | … Buffalo Trace, Bourbon Cream and Sazerac Ry off. |
| Matt: | You have to look at the age differences too. |
| Dan: | Matt? |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | The Eagle’s got to sit 10 years, Buffalo Trace sits half that. |
| Dan: | Sure. Yeah. |
| Mark: | How old is Blanton’s generally? |
| Matt: | I think it’s a six-year. |
| Chris: | I think you’re right, we can look it up. |
| Dan: | They don’t give us any propaganda about that, so we have to Google it. |
| Matt: | Yeah, I think it’s a six-year, I’m not 100% sure. |
| Chris: | Six to eight. |
| Matt: | Speaking of Blanton’s- |
| Chris: | Six to eight. |
| Matt: | … we have a fun one from Jeremiah today. |
| Chris: | We do. |
| Matt: | From ol Baby Shark. |
| Mark: | Okay- |
| Chris: | Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo. |
| Mark: | … this- |
| Matt: | Baby shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo. |
| Mark: | … scotch is another custom labeled scotch from the exclusive malt. I know nothing about it, except it’s a Glenmora, and it is- |
| Chris: | Fantastic. Sorry. |
| Mark: | … very light. |
| Chris: | It’s good. It’s good. |
| Mark: | Matt, is there an age stated on that? |
| Matt: | It is a nine-year. |
| Chris: | Here’s what is blowing my mind about- |
| Mark: | The color- |
| Chris: | The color. |
| Mark: | … of that for being a nine-year is weird. |
| Chris: | And then the hardiness of this, it’s hardy. It’s like- |
Glen Moray – The Exclusive Malts
| Dan: | I just started paying attention. Shut your fucking mouth, that’s not eight-years. |
| Matt: | This is- |
| Dan: | I know, look at that. |
| Matt: | … a nine-year, that is 55.7%. |
| Dan: | How are they doing this? |
| Matt: | 220 bottles, and it’s aged- |
| Dan: | Is it a low char? |
| Matt: | … in first fill ex-bourbon barrels. |
| Chris: | It’s got… These bourbon barrels got to be like- |
| Dan: | [inaudible 00:37:11] if I didn’t ask a question and interrupt Matt, I would’ve gotten my answer. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Sorry. |
| Matt: | It’s a beauty what you can learn- |
| Dan: | Just shut up and listen. |
| Chris: | Well it depends what it- |
| Matt: | … just by opening your ears. |
| Chris: | I mean, how… Is that bourbon… What char is it? |
| Dan: | I know, that’s what I… It was- |
| Chris: | It’s a good question. |
| Dan: | … a good, like- |
| Mark: | The color that we’re used to seeing, generally come from the wine finishing. |
| Chris: | Sure. |
| Mark: | And it’s pulling those reds out. To me, this almost looks like it’d be virgin oak. |
| Dan: | Oh God, I love a good virgin oak. |
| Mark: | Anytime you can work the word virgin into a sentence, is a good day. |
| Dan: | It’s a good day. And we can all hear Danny Whaley. |
| Chris: | Ooh. Yeah, I just- |
| Dan: | [inaudible 00:37:54]- |
| Chris: | … can’t get over the heartiness versus- |
| Dan: | … when he’s around anymore. |
| Chris: | … the color. |
| Matt: | It- |
| Dan: | Glenmorangie, the Executive Malt’s? |
| Matt: | Yes. It starts all sorts of burbany. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | And finishes very fruity and scotch. |
| Chris: | Happily. Happily. Not in a- |
| Mark: | That is good. |
| Matt: | This is very nice. |
| Chris: | This is really good. |
| Dan: | Not- |
| Chris: | What’s the- |
| Dan: | … executive exclusive. |
| Chris: | What’s the price on this bad boy? |
| Matt: | Not expensive. |
| Dan: | 12 bucks- |
| Chris: | 12- |
| Dan: | … a pour. |
| Chris: | … bucks? |
| Dan: | 12 bucks- |
| Chris: | Two ounce pour? |
| Dan: | … per pour. |
| Matt: | Yep, full pour. This is one of those cabinets that nobody ever looks at. |
| Mark: | And they should. |
| Matt: | There are- |
| Mark: | The first cabinet you should go to in this bar, is the custom bottled scotches. |
| Chris: | That is… There’s so much going on on that. |
| Dan: | Oh, Distilled September 9th, 2007. |
| Chris: | Is that older than your girlfriend? |
| Dan: | No. |
| Chris: | Okay. |
| Dan: | No. |
| Matt: | Is that going to be the new thing? |
| Dan: | My God- |
| Matt: | Older than Dan’s girlfriend. |
| Dan: | Yeah, this might be a new one. |
| Chris: | Library Pub, older than Dan’s girlfriend. |
| Dan: | I was talking- |
| Chris: | I can see it on a shirt. |
| Dan: | I was talking with Petey Mac, former sports guy for Todd and Tyler. |
| Matt: | I went- |
| Dan: | Ran into him on Friday. |
| Matt: | I went to high school with Pete. |
| Dan: | Great dude. |
| Matt: | I love Pete. |
| Dan: | Great dude. And we were quickly realizing that when we were talking about the time we worked together, it was over 10 fucking years ago. And I still think of myself as if I talk about something over 10 years ago, that was more than 50% of my life ago, and it’s not. |
| Chris: | I was on the- |
| Matt: | Ignore it. |
| Chris: | … Radio at the River, 2003 to 2006. |
| Dan: | You were off the radio when that came… You’d left the River, when that got distilled. |
| Chris: | Yeah. Isn’t that insane? |
| Dan: | That’s crazy when you put shit- |
| Chris: | Dude- |
| Dan: | … together like that. |
| Chris: | … I know. |
| Dan: | You’re like, “Fuck.” |
| Chris: | What year- |
| Dan: | Let me just- |
| Chris: | … was that again? |
| Dan: | … have good times. |
| Matt: | 2009 |
| Dan: | The good times. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | 2007, it was distilled, he left the River in ’06. |
| Matt: | I’d just started at the mattress factory. |
| Dan: | God, see it surprises me that place had been around that long. |
| Matt: | 2007, they opened. |
| Chris: | Matt and I weren’t hanging- |
| Dan: | I can just- |
| Chris: | … out really, and we just kind of knew each other through friends, and I called him a bad name, a bad person’s- |
| Matt: | Well- |
| Chris: | … name. |
| Matt: | … [inaudible 00:40:01] Pete. Not a- |
| Chris: | I thought it was Pete. |
| Matt: | Pete’s not a bad guy. |
| Dan: | No, that reminds me of another story. |
| Matt: | Flum comes walking in, he’s like, “Hey Pete.” |
| Chris: | Oh, he was so mad. He was so mad. He was so mad. |
| Matt: | It was like, “Dude-“ |
| Chris: | He was so mad. |
| Matt: | … We’ve met and hung out plenty of times, but we weren’t buddies yet. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | I’d been to your apartment. |
| Chris: | Like three times. |
| Matt: | I’d played Rock Band at your apartment. |
| Dan: | Was that the apartment- |
| Chris: | I don’t- |
| Dan: | … you peed in the closet? |
| Matt: | In California. |
| Chris: | I never peed in the closet in- |
| Dan: | I thought you peed in somebody’s closet. |
| Chris: | No, no. I peed in- |
| Dan: | Did you pee in somebody’s closet? |
| Chris: | Matt’s peed everywhere. |
| Matt: | Probably. About got me deported. |
| Chris: | He’s… Mine was at the current house that when I flipped up Lacey’s pad that I thought was the toilet, and it wasn’t, it was white and it was her… Anyway, anyway. |
| Dan: | So my grandpa on my father’s side, a World War 2 vet, stubborn son-of-a-bitch, great dude, walked in- |
| Chris: | Usually pees in a bag. |
| Dan: | My cousin, who is my oldest cousin in the entire family brought her, what would end up being her boyfriend around, for the first time. And my grandpa just being the old… I don’t know even how to describe it. They introduced him and said, “This is my boyfriend, Dave.” And- |
| Matt: | Dave’s not here, man. |
| Dan: | Yeah. My grandpa refused to call him Dave and we don’t know if it was just being ornery, if it was that- |
| Matt: | Ornery? |
| Dan: | … he never bothered to even remember the guy’s name, but forever he called him Pete. And he would genuinely… He’s like, “How’s Lisa and Pete doing?” Because she lived in Chicago, and so forever we have… I just saw him again a couple of years ago, and I have a tough time not calling him Pete, because that’s what I’ve always remembered him as, is- |
| Matt: | Why wouldn’t you call him Pete? |
| Dan: | And that’s… So I don’t even… I’m not entirely sure his real name is Dave. |
| Matt: | I’d call him Pete. |
| Dan: | It was just so funny to the whole family, because he… I think he was just at an age where he just didn’t give a fuck, and we’re like, “No, no, no.” My dad would be like, “His name’s Dave.” |
| Matt: | Sure, Pete. |
| Dan: | And then the next time my grandpa would be like, “Where’s Pete and Lisa?” That was a funnier story in my head. |
| Matt: | It’s always funny to mess with people. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Matt, are you doing an unopened treasure? Because this was unopened. |
| Matt: | Well, it’s kind of an unopened treasure, this is another loner bottle, from our friend Jeremiah. |
| Dan: | Do we create a new category and then… No, I don’t need to drink that much today. So are you doing it as your pick, or the unopened treasure? |
Blanton’s Green Label
| Matt: | I’m just doing this as something that I want to try. |
| Dan: | Okay. |
| Matt: | So- |
| Dan: | So this is what? |
| Matt: | This is Blanton’s Green Label, which I have never had. |
| Chris: | Thank you. What is this, a rye? Because it’s green. |
| Dan: | If it’s green, it’s got to be. |
| Matt: | Which I forgot all about it until just a minute ago, so I’m trying to do a little research. |
| Mark: | While he’s looking it up, a- |
| Matt: | [inaudible 00:43:07]- |
| Mark: | … cute story. My brother stopped in Sunday morning to see me. |
| Dan: | It was great seeing him. |
| Mark: | Good guy. |
| Dan: | Great guy, yeah. |
| Mark: | But for those of you that haven’t figured out, my brother is very religious and I am not. So in between bullshitting with my friend Bob and Chris Miller, my brother leans in and goes, “Mark, have you thought about reconsidering your religious,” Something? |
| Chris: | Wow. |
| Mark: | As I’m sitting at a bar on Sunday morning. |
| Dan: | It is tough in this industry, and Chris, I applaud you for being a religious person and being in this industry, because you do have to let your morals slide from time to time, on some stuff. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | I love the fact, that there’s no [inaudible 00:44:04]. |
| Dan: | I have never hit something more on the head than that. |
| Chris: | Yep. Yep. |
| Matt: | That’s just anything bar and restaurant though. |
| Mark: | That’s like the… |
| Matt: | Anything alcohol related- |
| Mark: | It’s like the whore that goes to church. |
| Chris: | Well, you have your own balance. |
| Matt: | Oh, that’s how you get forgiven. |
| Dan: | Right. That was an interesting series of conversations with that. But I mean, I applaud your brother for trying. I don’t think it would be a terribly bad thing for you to maybe get a little bit of God in your life, but to each their own. I’m not going to criticize. |
| Mark: | Well you [inaudible 00:44:41]- |
| Chris: | Religious and believing- |
| Dan: | Yeah, I’m- |
| Chris: | … are two different things- |
| Dan: | Sarah and I are very spiritual. |
| Chris: | … in my opinion. |
| Matt: | That’s completely- |
| Dan: | Sarah and I are very- |
| Matt: | … fair. |
| Dan: | … spiritual, we’re just not religious. I… For a couple of reasons, but- |
| Matt: | All right. Well anyways, this is a Blanton’s- |
| Chris: | Matt’s like, “Nope.” |
| Matt: | … Green Label. |
| Mark: | Okay. |
| Dan: | Moving on. |
| Matt: | I’m not jumping into this shit. |
| Dan: | What is it? Politics, love, religion. |
| Mark: | Are you done with your research? |
| Matt: | Yeah, it doesn’t take much. |
| Mark: | Okay, go ahead. |
| Matt: | This is the Blanton’s Green Label, and much like Weller, the Green Label is their special reserve, it’s their entry level. As far as I can tell, it does not come to America, unless you buy it at the distillery. |
| Dan: | Jesus Christ, this is light. |
| Chris: | It’s got an O. |
| Matt: | But- |
| Chris: | It’s got an O. |
| Matt: | This is 80 proof, 40%. And it even says right on this little website I’m looking at, “This is a beginner’s bourbon.” |
| Dan: | I completely agree with that. |
| Mark: | You know what you call- |
| Chris: | It’s got a smell that’s- |
| Mark: | … 80 proof bourbon? Afternoon bourbon. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | So this is- |
| Chris: | It’s not [inaudible 00:45:46]- |
| Dan: | … I believe, did you mention it, it’s exclusively available in Japan? |
| Mark: | No, this is not the Japanese one. |
| Dan: | Oh, it’s not? |
| Mark: | No. |
| Dan: | Oh, okay. |
| Chris: | Wow, that is- |
| Mark: | According to Jeremiah, I did not research this, according to Jeremiah, it’s only available in the Caribbean. |
| Dan: | Oh, that’s right, he did mention that a couple of times yesterday. |
| Matt: | I like this |
| Dan: | Incredibly light. |
| Matt: | Super like. |
| Dan: | I guess I shouldn’t say incredibly light because it’s all relative, but for a Blanton’s and for a bourbon, especially one that’s looking that dark in the bottle, that’s really light. |
| Matt: | Very, very low proof. Low as you can go. |
| Mark: | I could get in trouble with that, even at 80 proof. |
| Matt: | This is… Now the… What would keep me out of trouble with it is, at least on this website, they’re saying a bottle costs about $270. |
| Dan: | Jesus. |
| Matt: | So that’ll keep me out of trouble with this bottle. |
| Dan: | Right. Regular Blanton’s is- |
| Matt: | 70 |
| Dan: | Yeah, your cost $63. |
| Matt: | Something like that. |
| Dan: | Retail, probably $80. |
| Matt: | $80 to $100, if you’re not an asshole. |
| Dan: | Probably closer to the $100, because you’re an asshole. |
| Matt: | Most places are a- |
| Dan: | Not you, Matt. |
| Matt: | … bill and a half on it. I mean I’m kind of an asshole. |
| Dan: | You are an asshole, but not for that. |
| Matt: | No, I don’t control the prices, or gas prices. |
| Dan: | Excuse me. |
| Matt: | I like this. This is… This could get me in trouble if I just had a spare 300 bucks laying around. |
| Dan: | Did you see the meme going around Facebook telling everybody to wait and fill up on Monday because gas was going to be $1.5 Cheaper? By the way, the day we record is- |
| Chris: | I didn’t see that. |
| Dan: | … inauguration day for President Trump, so… |
| Matt: | And it’s Martin Luther Day. |
| Dan: | And it’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and apparently Johnson Brothers doesn’t like black people. |
| Mark: | Wow. That one got- |
| Chris: | They defiantly don’t- |
| Mark: | … dark. |
| Chris: | They definitely don’t like people that have worked there for 15 years. |
| Dan: | Nope. Well, they like you, $200 worth to the gift card. |
| Chris: | What is that? Like a $1.13 a month? Thanks. |
| Dan: | It was- |
| Chris: | You guys know what I bought? |
| Dan: | So it was $200, right? |
| Chris: | I was like, “Great, $200. I can-“ |
| Dan: | Explain a little bit more. |
| Chris: | All right, so been at Johnson Brothers for 15 years. Yeah, they’re very happy that I’m there. So they gave me- |
| Dan: | And they showed it. |
| Chris: | And they showed it, they gave me $200- |
| Matt: | Did they clap their hands? |
| Chris: | … to the company’s store. |
| Matt: | Because they were happy and they knew it. |
| Chris: | Yeah, so we have a- |
| Dan: | That’s so- |
| Chris: | … we have a company retail store- |
| Matt: | So you can get like Johnson Brothers- |
| Chris: | $200 polo that’s overpriced, that I could buy for like $15.99 in Kmart, if Kmart was around. |
| Matt: | $200 polo? |
| Chris: | No, I got- |
| Dan: | [inaudible 00:48:24]. |
| Chris: | The coolest thing that I could get on there. I’m like, “This is for me, dude.” I bought a fucking drone. It was like $170, I hook this thing up and… |
| Dan: | Oh. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | My favorite- |
| Matt: | Did you break it yet? |
| Dan: | … part about it is that it didn’t include shipping. |
| Chris: | Yeah, I had to pay shipping. |
| Dan: | He couldn’t even… |
| Chris: | $14.95 shipping. I had to pay shipping. |
| Dan: | Shipping’s- |
| Matt: | How much did you- |
| Dan: | … out of it. |
| Matt: | [inaudible 00:48:50] this? |
| Chris: | Probably- |
| Matt: | Thank you for- |
| Dan: | How much did you pay- |
| Matt: | … working hard. |
| Dan: | … to fix your screen? |
| Chris: | 160 |
| Dan: | Which he couldn’t use that either. |
| Chris: | I was like, “Great.” John Brew was like, “Oh yeah, for my 35, I got a 90 inch TV.” I was like, “Fucking, what?” |
| Matt: | 35 years? |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Well I guess you’ve got another- |
| Dan: | Which a 90 inch- |
| Matt: | … 20 years. |
| Dan: | … TV these days, I mean what, |
| Chris: | Well, he was- |
| Dan: | … that’s like- |
| Chris: | He was like, “That’s like-“ |
| Dan: | … $700? |
| Chris: | No, it was $1,500. And I was like, “Cool John, that means you’re worth, I don’t know, $43 a year. I’m only worth like $22, apparently.” Seriously. |
| Dan: | This Blanton’s… Yeah, that’s- |
| Matt: | It’s super nice. |
| Dan: | … water. |
| Chris: | It’s water. |
| Dan: | It is. There’s not a lot of flavor to it, not a lot of- |
Dickel – 8 Year
| Chris: | It could be cool. Sorry, that was a segue into the next one, because I don’t want to keep on talking about Johnson Brothers. |
| Dan: | Moving on. |
| Matt: | This is the- |
| Dan: | Dickel, Dickel. |
| Matt: | … Dickel eight year. 90 proof, 45%, runs 9 bucks a pour. Not an expensive bottle. It’s 84% corn, 8% rye, 8% malted barley. |
| Dan: | Cascade Hollow Distillery. |
| Matt: | And I like the Dickel stuff. |
| Chris: | Dickel, Dickel. |
| Matt: | Which they do have to go with… Uh-oh, I lost my page. |
| Mark: | Now, Dickel is Tennessee whiskey, right? |
| Matt: | Dickel is Tennessee whiskey. So they have to go through the Johnson County Process, which this bottle cost us right around 30 bucks. |
| Dan: | Sorry, this is- |
| Matt: | Bet Chris Stapleson would like this. |
| Dan: | … just Dickel Bourbon? |
| Matt: | Dickel 8 year. |
| Dan: | Dickel 8 year. |
| Chris: | Dickel, Dickel. |
| Dan: | Thank you. Oh my God, I am so looking forward to the pork tenderloin sandwich, from AJ’s. |
| Matt: | It’s very corn forward and I don’t hate it. But I’ve always liked- |
| Dan: | Oh, okay. |
| Matt: | … Dickel. I don’t know why because I’m not a big Tennessee fan. |
| Dan: | You know what, no matter how many episodes we do, we are never going to get over Dickel. |
| Chris: | Dickel. |
| Dan: | And just Matt saying, “I’ve always enjoyed Dickel.” Just made my day. |
| Matt: | Just not from the back, I like eye contact. |
| Dan: | You like to look a guy in the eye. |
| Matt: | Which they have to go through the Johnson County Process, but they do theirs a little different, they chill their whiskey before they run it through the 13 feet of charcoal. So it actually takes more of the flavor out of it. |
| Dan: | Is that what they refer to as chill filtered? |
| Mark: | No. |
| Dan: | Or is that a different process? |
| Matt: | It’s a different process. |
| Dan: | Okay. By the way, were you around yesterday when Walker kept feeling my shirt? |
| Matt: | No. |
| Chris: | Oh, what was wrong with your shirt? |
| Dan: | Nothing, he loved how it felt. It’s the same fabric. |
| Chris: | Was he on drugs? |
| Dan: | It’s so comfortable. He was on- |
| Chris: | Just pet the wall. |
| Dan: | … Moscow Mule and- |
| Chris: | Just pet the wall. |
| Dan: | … two beers. |
| Matt: | A gin Moscow Mule. |
| Dan: | Uncle Vowell’s, Moscow Mule, and two beers. So I don’t… Oh, a couple shots. I don’t think he was- |
| Matt: | I don’t think he does a whole lot of drugs. |
| Dan: | No, he was right in his wheel-house. |
| Matt: | Maybe smoke a little bit of pot. |
| Dan: | Which that doesn’t count. I don’t care what anybody says, that doesn’t count. |
| Matt: | Depends- |
| Dan: | Dickel. |
| Matt: | … what state you’re in. |
| Dan: | Dickel 8 year. I’m having a tough time distinguishing this, between this and the Blanton’s. |
| Mark: | No, this has way more flavor than the Blanton’s. That Blanton’s we had, reminded me of Basil Hayden. |
| Dan: | Oh, yeah? |
| Matt: | Very light, very soft. It reminds me of drinking the Weller Special Reserve. Just very light, very soft. Very easy. |
| Chris: | Gentle. |
| Matt: | Gentle. |
| Chris: | Genteel. |
| Matt: | Sweet. Very sweet and loving. |
| Dan: | Is there a difference between gentle and genteel? |
| Mark: | Gentle is a feeling, genteel is a description of a personality. |
| Dan: | Thank you. We may be creating a new segment here, unknowingly. |
| Matt: | Word Smarts with Mark. |
| Dan: | Yeah. Do we have an unopened treasure of the week? |
| Matt: | We do, I actually have two more over here. |
| Mark: | Wow. |
| Dan: | Fuck. |
| Matt: | Well, not two open treasures. Wait, no, I’m sorry, I have one more over here, which it’s been opened, but we’re going to act like it hasn’t been. |
| Dan: | We’re going to do it anyways. Theater of the mind. |
| Mark: | Excuse me, I have to put on my glasses on. On his way out the door, and I don’t want to get political, but on his way out the door- |
| Chris: | Oh my God, this makes me so mad, but anyway. |
| Mark: | … Biden- |
| Dan: | You’re talking like you’re from- |
| Chris: | No, I- |
| Mark: | … pardoned all of his family for everything. |
| Dan: | He did? |
| Mark: | Yes. Brother’s, sister- |
| Chris: | And Fauci. And Fauci. |
| Mark: | Dude, he was handing out pardons like candy. |
| Dan: | I mean that’s pretty typical of a leaving president. I mean, come on, Ford pardoned- |
| Chris: | And people that have been to jail. |
| Dan: | … Nixon. |
| Chris: | Yeah. [inaudible 00:54:00]- |
| Dan: | Ford pardoned Nixon. |
| Matt: | They were buddies. |
| Mark: | I don’t mind the Fauci’s and all that, the political pardons. |
| Dan: | The family. |
| Mark: | When you’re pardoning your entire family from anything they ever might have done- |
| Dan: | Is there any kind of legal recourse now? |
| Mark: | No. |
| Dan: | Is there… Can Trump come in and say, “No.”? |
| Mark: | Nope. |
| Matt: | “I un-pardon them.” |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | Nope. So Biden’s brother may have shot somebody 10 years ago, he cannot be prosecuted for it now. And I’m not saying he did, I’m just saying- |
| Matt: | Example. |
| Dan: | He can’t be- |
| Mark: | Example. |
| Dan: | Well, yeah, but you can’t pardon somebody, unless there’s charges against him, right? |
| Mark: | No, he pardoned them for anything they may have done. |
| Matt: | Like speeding tickets. |
| Chris: | That’s what- |
| Dan: | You can’t do that. |
| Chris: | Yes, you can. That’s- |
| Dan: | You can’t give them a get-out-of-jail-free card. |
| Chris: | Yes, you can. |
| Mark: | Yes, you can. |
| Chris: | That’s what they do. |
| Dan: | That’s bullshit. |
| Matt: | Now when- |
| Chris: | It is bullshit, dude. |
| Matt: | … you’re, pardoned- |
| Chris: | It makes you mad. |
| Matt: | … it’s like a get-out-of-jail-free card? |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | Yes. |
| Chris: | 100… It- |
| Matt: | Like now you- |
| Chris: | … absolves you from any crimes that you might- |
| Mark: | It’s not just a get-out-of-jail-free card, it’s you can’t get arrested, you can’t get questioned. |
| Matt: | And they expunge your record? |
| Chris: | Pretty much. |
| Matt: | Really? |
| Chris: | Yep. |
| Matt: | I need to get in with the president. |
| Chris: | Distinguished gentleman’s. |
| Dan: | See, and I’m not trying to argue with you guys, but I am, everything that I’ve said, or everything that I’ve seen on pardons says that, what they pardoned you for, you’re off the hook. But if you get arrested for anything else- |
| Mark: | In the future. |
| Dan: | Yeah, in the future, but- |
| Mark: | The pardon ends the day of the pardon. If you do anything after that, you’re not pardoned, but anything you did before that… Now- |
| Dan: | If you murdered someone yesterday, you’re totally- |
| Chris: | Yeah- |
| Dan: | … absolved from that. |
| Mark: | Not all pardons- |
| Matt: | Sweet. |
| Mark: | … are blanket pardons. Okay? You can go in and say, “Okay, I’m going to pardon you for this crime.” But what Biden had been doing was giving blanket pardons for any crime either known or unknown. |
| Dan: | That’s so… |
| Matt: | Sounds crooked to me. But then again, it’s politics. |
| Dan: | I mean, did Trump do that for his family? |
| Mark: | I don’t know. |
| Dan: | Oh, hold on… Oh, okay. So he issues blanket preemptive pardons for Trump critics and Biden family members. Frankly, I like the Trump critics, because Trump was going to get some revenge starting today. |
| Chris: | That’s what they want you to believe. |
| Dan: | Well, he was going to go after anybody and everybody that prosecuted anybody and everybody for the January 6th- |
| Chris: | I feel like he did that- |
| Dan: | … insurrection. |
| Chris: | … his first term. Second term, dude, he’s not going to go for reelection, he’s down- |
| Dan: | [inaudible 00:56:55]. |
| Chris: | … for business, and this sounds like I’m supporting him. |
| Matt: | Yep, sure does. |
| Dan: | He even said, “Anybody that did anything to prosecute anybody for the January 6th, I will come after you.” Something to remember. But anyways, it’s absolute bullshit. |
| Chris: | He also said that he was for the TikTok ban. |
| Dan: | It’s absolute… Yeah. It’s absolute bullshit, that Biden’s able to… Any president is able to future pardon, fuck that shit. God damn it- |
| Chris: | Thanks, Dan. |
| Dan: | … that pisses me off. |
| Chris: | That makes me happy that you- |
| Dan: | That fucking pisses me off. |
| Chris: | That makes me really happy that you came to that conclusion. |
| Dan: | You and I are in agreement though, I liked Biden for his policies and his party, but I didn’t really care for the guy. |
| Matt: | Biden knows how to party. |
| Dan: | He does. Anyways. All right, so I’m going to give you guys a heads-up on the game we’re going to play. |
| Matt: | Are we going to try this- |
| Dan: | And the- |
| Matt: | … whiskey? |
| Dan: | And then we’re going to try your whiskey. |
| Matt: | Oh, we’re going to do rules- |
| Dan: | I pulled a me. |
| Matt: | … whiskey- |
| Dan: | You pulled a me there. |
| Matt: | Okay. |
| Dan: | So here’s the game we’re going to play. Apparently it’s a lot of fun to play, I’ve listened to a couple of other podcasts where they play it, and it is a lot of fun. |
| Chris: | Let’s do it. I like fun. |
| Dan: | We are going to do a blind ranking. I’m going to give you 10 action movie quotes without knowing the next ones that are coming, you have to rank them one through ten. |
| Chris: | Oh boy. |
| Dan: | I have 12 sitting here. If you guys decide, “We don’t like that one, we’re kicking it out.” Then I’ve got an 11th and a 12th that we could go to, if we want to. But you have to decide when the quote is said- |
| Matt: | And we have to rank them? |
| Dan: | … before moving… Yeah. |
| Chris: | And I can’t be like, “Oh, that’s the number one.” I can’t be like- |
| Dan: | You can. |
| Chris: | But I- |
| Dan: | If you feel- |
| Chris: | But on the next one, I can’t be like, “Oh no, that’s number one. The other one’s, number two.” |
| Dan: | Yeah. Once you place it- |
| Chris: | Once you place it- |
| Dan: | … at number one, that’s kind of the trick of it, is you have to also anticipate there’s probably a bigger one coming. |
| Matt: | Yeah, there is. |
| Dan: | All right, so we’re going to do blind ranking of the top 10 action movie quotes. And this isn’t like of the modern generation of the whatever, it’s of modern history. |
| Matt: | Frankly my [inaudible 00:58:57]- |
| Chris: | “Yippee Ki Ya, motherfucker.” Is number one one. Is it on there? |
| Matt: | Is it on the list? |
| Dan: | I can’t… It’s blind. |
| Chris: | Oh, okay. |
| Dan: | I can’t tell you guys it’s blind, it’s blind. |
| Chris: | All right, all right, all right. |
| Dan: | “Yippee Ki Ya, motherfucker.” |
| Matt: | Christmas movie. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | It is. |
| Dan: | Totally a Christmas movie, by the way. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
Heaven Hill – Grain to Glass Rye
| Dan: | Matt? |
| Matt: | This is Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Rye. |
| Dan: | Did you [inaudible 00:59:17]- |
| Chris: | I like the bottle. |
| Matt: | We did Grain to Glass, Straight Bourbon last week. |
| Chris: | This is like- |
| Dan: | You had me try- |
| Chris: | … dark maple rum. |
| Dan: | … one a couple of weeks ago. I thought maybe it was this one, but it wasn’t a rye. |
| Matt: | I think it was probably the wheated. |
| Dan: | It was. |
| Matt: | The wheated is fantastic, our bottles almost gone, which is why we have not done it. This is a Grain to Glass, Rye. It’s a 6 year, banks out at 123.2. Bottle price is a little over 100 bucks, if you can find it for that. No mash bill, that I could find. They did say that it was stored on the third, fourth, and fifth level of the W-3 Rickhouse, and they use the Beck’s 6158 designer corn in it. |
| Dan: | All right, Heaven Hill, Grain to Glass, this is a special thing they’re doing, or is this a regular series? |
| Matt: | This is a special thing they’re doing. I don’t know if it’s going to continue, or if it’s just going to be a one-time thing, or maybe a once-a-year release or exactly what it’s going to be, I haven’t been able to find that. But it’s their designer corn- |
| Dan: | Oh my God. |
| Matt: | … line. |
| Dan: | As the guy who was on a rye kick, I fucking love this. Jesus. |
| Matt: | Yeah, that’s good. Very dry. |
| Dan: | Yep. It is very dry, much like a red wine, like a Cabernet. |
| Matt: | Which I don’t think this is finished in anything, which I could be wrong. Oh, I did find a mash bill. |
| Dan: | oh. |
| Matt: | Again, if I just would’ve read the fucking label. 63% rye, 24% corn, 13% malted barley. So yeah, that’s what happens when you go straight to the internet. |
| Dan: | Mark, you’re not a fan of it? |
| Mark: | Too high of a proof. |
| Dan: | Did you even try it? |
| Mark: | Nope, my tongue is numb. |
| Matt: | Which I don’t think- |
| Dan: | Hang on, I got to mark down [inaudible 01:01:31]. |
| Matt: | Which I don’t think it drinks quite that high, it does drink warm. |
| Dan: | Why do I find that so funny? |
| Chris: | I don’t know. |
| Dan: | That was great. Hey Kev. |
| Mark: | Hi Kev. |
| Dan: | Oh, he’s got a big box of things. |
| Matt: | Stuff. |
| Kev: | [inaudible 01:01:48]. |
| Dan: | Oh, stuff and things. |
| Matt: | Which I like this. |
| Dan: | This is really good. It’s not getting the reaction out of the group like I expected. |
| Chris: | It’s good, it just literally made my tip of my tongue numb. |
| Matt: | Which we’re not huge rye drinkers. So now if this was- |
| Chris: | I used to be a really big rye. It was rye [inaudible 01:02:06]- |
| Dan: | I love it. |
| Chris: | … Whiskeys, honestly. |
| Dan: | I love rye. I love it. But I can understand the apprehension. Is that a word? |
| Chris: | Apprehension, that’s- |
| Dan: | I can understand the apprehension behind it because it’s a flavor bomb, and it can be overwhelming to people’s palates. |
| Matt: | Rye’s can be a little overbearing- |
| Dan: | Whoa, the second one- |
| Matt: | … I have found. |
| Dan: | What was the second one again? |
| Chris: | Are we even [inaudible 01:02:28] it? |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | The second one was the Dickle. |
| Dan: | What? What did you get mixed up? |
| Chris: | I don’t know. |
| Dan: | The one we’re drinking now is the rye. |
| Chris: | I don’t know. |
| Dan: | Did you switch? |
| Chris: | I don’t know. I had two sitting in front of me, I must not have finished the Dickle, Dickle. |
| Dan: | The second one was… The second whiskey we did today was the Glenmora Executive. Malt. |
| Chris: | Yeah, that’s in my belly. |
| Dan: | Damn it, I did it again, Exclusive Malt. |
| Matt: | So I’m guessing that yours was… Was it super cherry at the end? |
| Chris: | Yep. |
| Matt: | That’s the Dickle. |
| Dan: | Dickle, Dickle. |
| Chris: | Dickle. |
| Matt: | Love the- |
| Dan: | [inaudible 01:03:01]. |
| Matt: | … Dickle. |
| Chris: | Dickle, Dickle. |
| Dan: | Love the Dickle. |
| Matt: | Love the Dickle. Dixie- |
| Dan: | Great stuff. |
| Matt: | … loves the Dickle. |
| Dan: | All right, should we get to ranking? So once again, the idea behind this is that you guys, you three, Mark, Matt and Chris, are going to have to decide where this ranks. |
| Chris: | Oh, we have to decide… We have to- |
| Dan: | All three of you have to- |
| Chris: | And we have 12 votes? |
| Dan: | … to rank it. You- |
| Chris: | 10? |
| Dan: | … have to rank the top 10- |
| Mark: | Chris, you’re making this way, way too- |
| Matt: | We each get to vote. |
| Chris: | Well, see, I’m confused because of this stupid music thing that I’m in right now, that I was talking about earlier. |
| Dan: | You have to… You rank them in the… I’m going to give you… I’m going to roll through 12 of them… I’m going to roll through, well 10 of them if you guys don’t veto one of them, so I’ve got two extra just in case you veto. |
| Matt: | Can we pardon one? |
| Mark: | Jesus fucking Christ, get on with it. This is not- |
| Chris: | All right, let’s do it. Let’s do it. |
| Mark: | … rocket science. |
| Dan: | He’s cranky today, fuck. All right, I’m going to start off tough. “I’ll be back.” Terminator. |
| Mark: | Five. |
| Dan: | Where? |
| Matt: | I’m going to say number three. |
| Chris: | I was going to say number three. Number three or number two. |
| Matt: | Hold on, I got to write these down, so I can keep track- |
| Dan: | Convince… I got them. I can recite them back if you want. |
| Mark: | I just don’t want it to go too high- |
| Matt: | Too soon. |
| Mark: | … too early- |
| Dan: | Sure. |
| Mark: | … so I said five for that one. |
| Matt: | It’s probably a good jumping-off point, five. |
| Dan: | I mean- |
| Chris: | Okay, so here’s my reasoning for it, he says it in every single movie. |
| Matt: | Oh, yeah. |
| Chris: | That he’s in. |
| Mark: | Yeah, but- |
| Dan: | He doesn’t say, “I’ll be back.” |
| Mark: | … it’s not much of a statement. |
| Chris: | What was the quote again? |
| Dan: | “I’ll be back.” |
| Chris: | “I’ll be back.” Yeah, he says, “I’ll be back.” In every single movie. |
| Matt: | It’s not much of a statement. |
| Dan: | Not in every one though. |
| Matt: | But it’s- |
| Dan: | He’s got a catch line in every one of them- |
| Matt: | But it’s super- |
| Dan: | … but not that one. |
| Matt: | … iconic. |
| Chris: | I thought it was. |
| Matt: | He does, “I’ll be back.” In- |
| Chris: | I thought it was- |
| Matt: | And he said it in all the Terminators. |
| Dan: | Did he? |
| Matt: | He didn’t say, “Linda, you’re jacked.” I’ll tell you that much. |
| Dan: | She was. |
| Matt: | She was doing those pull-ups. It was like, “Son of a bitch.” |
| Dan: | Yeah. Don’t Google anything. |
| Chris: | No, I’m just wondering about- |
| Dan: | Is- |
| Chris: | … if he does, is that his tagline? |
| Dan: | Where does, “I’ll be back.” Rank- |
| Matt: | “Run to the chopper.” |
| Dan: | … all time- |
| Chris: | I mean if we want to say five- |
| Dan: | … action movie quotes? |
| Chris: | … I’m cool with five, but I think that’s a three. That’s a… You know, you say that to someone, they’re [inaudible 01:05:09]- |
| Matt: | We each get our own vote. |
| Mark: | Wait, no, we have to agree. |
| Chris: | We have to agree. |
| Dan: | You guys have to agree. |
| Mark: | But wait till they end and there are going to be ones you that- |
| Dan: | Yeah, there are, you’re right. |
| Mark: | … you’re going to go, “Oh my God-“ |
| Chris: | [inaudible 01:05:19]- |
| Mark: | “… that belongs at the top. |
| Dan: | All right, so we’re putting this at five? |
| Matt: | Sure. |
| Chris: | Sure. |
| Dan: | Okay. “Say hello to my little friend.” |
| Mark: | Oh, see. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Scarface. |
| Matt: | They’re all going to be big and iconic. |
| Chris: | I know. I know. That’s tough. |
| Matt: | I put that at like seven. |
| Chris: | Yeah, six, seven. |
| Mark: | I would go higher, but I’ll agree with seven. |
| Dan: | Yeah. If I was ranking this- |
| Chris: | Seven? |
| Dan: | … I would say top five. |
| Mark: | I would too. |
| Chris: | Seven? Okay. |
| Mark: | Because people… One of the things with iconic statements like that is how often you hear it in real life. And people- |
| Dan: | Mark’s nailing this. |
| Mark: | … say- |
| Matt: | Oh, I hear, “I’ll be back.” All the time. |
| Dan: | Oh, yeah. |
| Mark: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | You can’t- |
| Matt: | Way more than, “Say hello to hello to my little friend.” |
| Dan: | If there’s ever an opportunity in your life to tell somebody you’ll be back, you can’t help not do it in an- |
| Chris: | I’ll be back. |
| Dan: | … Austrian accent. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Terminator accent. |
| Dan: | Well, Austrian accent. |
| Matt: | Yeah, Terminator accent. |
| Chris: | And would they really have- |
| Dan: | Yes. |
| Chris: | … made Terminators with an accent? Let’s be for real. |
| Dan: | Well, they were trying to make him as human- |
| Chris: | Because it was- |
| Dan: | … as possible. |
| Chris: | … Americans that made him. |
| Dan: | They were trying to make him as human as possible, so he had- |
| Mark: | The problem is he still has an Austrian accent. |
| Matt: | Regardless. |
| Mark: | Sean Connery in Red October, with a Scottish-Russian accent. |
| Chris: | Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it’s… |
| Matt: | Great movie- |
| Dan: | All right- |
| Matt: | … by the way. |
| Dan: | … quote number three, “The first rule of Fight Club is, you don’t talk about Fight Club.” |
| Matt: | Oh man- |
| Chris: | That’s- |
| Matt: | … that’s top five. |
| Mark: | No, that’s not- |
| Matt: | I think that’s like eight. |
| Mark: | … nine or ten. |
| Dan: | This is also going to be interesting because there’s a big generation gap. |
| Chris: | Yeah, there is a big generation gap. I understand why Matt is saying in top five, but I… |
| Mark: | I would go bottom end of the top 10. |
| Chris: | So my line of thinking, it says the name of the movie in it. I don’t feel like, “Oh, that’s from Fight Club.” Well, the first rule of Fight Club is you don’t talk about Fight Club. |
| Dan: | Yeah, but that line- |
| Matt: | It’s super iconic. |
| Chris: | But these other two doesn’t even say the name of the movie, and you know what it’s from. |
| Dan: | Yeah, most quotes don’t though. |
| Chris: | Fair. Fair. |
| Dan: | But anytime it comes up in conversation, don’t talk about it. The first rule- |
| Matt: | That’s why I [inaudible 01:07:30]- |
| Dan: | … Fight Club. |
| Chris: | Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. |
| Matt: | A lot of it’s also going to be just how much you enjoyed the movie. |
| Chris: | I’ll be happy with a six or an eight. |
| Mark: | I’d go eight. |
| Dan: | Matt? |
| Chris: | Matt, you’re at top five, you’re the one that’s got to get convinced. |
| Matt: | Then I guess I’ll agree with eight. |
| Dan: | This is a giant 12 angry men right now. |
| Matt: | But that’s one that… Fight Club I’ve probably seen 100 times. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Terminator 1, I’ve probably seen six times. |
| Chris: | Yeah. I’ve seen more Terminator than Fight Club. |
| Dan: | All right. Quote number four, “Avengers assemble.” |
| Chris: | I don’t give a about that one, honestly. |
| Matt: | I’d say probably nine. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | Ten. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | And remember you guys can veto, if you guys think this one needs to get kicked out- |
| Chris: | We can go back and veto? |
| Dan: | No. |
| Chris: | Okay. |
| Dan: | Once you lock it in, you’re locked in. |
| Matt: | I would say the Avengers line is- |
| Chris: | Can we veto that one? |
| Matt: | It’s up there. |
| Mark: | I’d be more than happy to. |
| Matt: | Yeah, strike it from the record. |
| Dan: | Strucken. |
| Chris: | Struck. |
| Dan: | It is strucken. |
| Matt: | Stricken. |
| Chris: | Stricken. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | It’s still snowing. |
| Dan: | “I feel the need, the need for speed.” |
| Mark: | That’s a good one. |
| Dan: | Top Gun. |
| Matt: | Wow. |
| Chris: | I mean you guys know that the Slappy Hands- |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | … would do it, so- |
| Matt: | And the- |
| Chris: | … it’s got to be top five. |
| Matt: | … homoerotic volleyball scene. |
| Dan: | I was going to say, if we could just- |
| Chris: | How [inaudible 01:08:55]- |
| Dan: | Of course, if we could just describe a scene- |
| Mark: | Four. |
| Dan: | … is it him looking at his watch? |
| Chris: | How itchy did he have to be? |
| Dan: | Oh my god. |
| Chris: | Who plays- |
| Matt: | I’m going to take a shower. |
| Chris: | … sand volleyball in jeans? |
| Dan: | Mark votes four. |
| Matt: | On purpose. I’m good with four. |
| Chris: | I’m cool with four. |
| Dan: | Good with four? |
| Matt: | I’m good with four. |
| Dan: | Okay. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | I feel the need, the need for speed.” Number four. |
| Chris: | Now did you do these or were these all pre- |
| Dan: | No, I went and looked- |
| Chris: | … [inaudible 01:09:17]? |
| Dan: | … up top, top 20 movie quotes and I picked ones- |
| Chris: | Okay, I see. Cool. |
| Dan: | … that I thought would be good. There was also a couple of them that I… The movies were iconic, but I didn’t understand, I didn’t get the quote. |
| Chris: | This is fun. |
| Matt: | Frankly, my dear, don’t give a damn. |
| Chris: | This is fun. |
| Dan: | All right, I’m throwing another hardball at you guys and I got to act this one out, because you can’t not. |
| Matt: | Just got to act it out. |
| Dan: | “This is Sparta.” |
| Chris: | That’s probably- |
| Dan: | 300 |
| Chris: | … a two. |
| Matt: | That’d be up there, probably, I would guess- |
| Dan: | A boot to the chest was such a- |
| Matt: | … like an eight. |
| Dan: | … was such great- |
| Matt: | Into the pit of despair. |
| Chris: | Into the pit [inaudible 01:09:51]- |
| Dan: | And at the very beginning of the movie, it set a bar. You’re like, “Oh, shit.” |
| Matt: | I walked out of that movie and I wanted to fight people. |
| Chris: | Yeah- |
| Dan: | Every- |
| Chris: | … it’s… Yeah, right? |
| Dan: | Chest puffed out. |
| Matt: | Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. |
| Chris: | You see groups of people, and be like, “I’m 300. You’re 15.” |
| Dan: | I was fluffing my single chest hair. |
| Matt: | I could kill you. Yeah, both of them, both chest hairs. |
| Dan: | All right- |
| Chris: | I would have definitely killed someone with a trident.. |
| Dan: | “This is Sparta.” 300. |
| Chris: | What numbers do we have? |
| Dan: | You got one- |
| Chris: | [inaudible 01:10:15]- |
| Dan: | … two, three, six, nine, and ten. I’d appreciate if you had a look at the screen, got to keep the- |
| Chris: | Oh. Oh, so- |
| Dan: | Got to keep intimate- |
| Chris: | … I was just thinking that the [inaudible 01:10:20]- |
| Dan: | Now you got to- |
| Chris: | … [inaudible 01:10:20]- |
| Dan: | I know. |
| Chris: | … get any [inaudible 01:10:21]. |
| Dan: | I kept it small, so it’s really difficult to read. But one, two, three, six, nine, and ten. |
| Chris: | It’s not top three. |
| Matt: | No |
| Chris: | It’s not top three. |
| Matt: | I would go ten. |
| Chris: | It’s- |
| Dan: | Wow. |
| Chris: | Ten? I would say six. |
| Mark: | I would go ten. |
| Chris: | Okay, ten it is. |
| Dan: | Wow. I’m surprised by that one. I’d have put that top three. |
| Mark: | No way. |
| Dan: | Personally. |
| Matt: | Personally, looking looking at it, I’ve seen that movie like four times. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | All right, next one. “Get away from her, you bitch.” Aliens. Sigourney Weaver. |
| Chris: | Dang it. |
| Matt: | That’d be like- |
| Chris: | That would’ve been like a ten for me. |
| Matt: | It’s like nine. |
| Mark: | Do we have an opening at eight or nine? |
| Dan: | Nine. |
| Mark: | Okay, I’ll do nine. |
| Chris: | Or do we want to veto it? I didn’t know- |
| Matt: | No. |
| Chris: | Until he said Aliens, I didn’t recall that. |
| Matt: | No. |
| Mark: | That is not from- |
| Matt: | Now I know that it’s- |
| Mark: | … [inaudible 01:11:12], it’s from Aliens. |
| Dan: | Alien. Alien. That’s what I said, Aliens. |
| Chris: | Oh, yeah. |
| Dan: | It’s the second one. |
| Chris: | It’s the second one. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | Yeah, I honestly wouldn’t have… |
| Matt: | Which I know what scene it is, it’s when the alien’s going after the little girl. |
| Mark: | Oh, go ahead and veto it. |
| Chris: | Yep. Yeah, let’s veto it. Let’s veto it. |
| Dan: | I’m surprised by that, but that’s- |
| Matt: | Our vetoes are gone now. |
| Dan: | All right. |
| Mark: | I know. |
| Matt: | All we have is a phone-a-friend left. |
| Dan: | “Do I feel lucky? Well, do you?” |
| Matt: | Oh, man. |
| Chris: | It’s top three. |
| Mark: | That’s… |
| Dan: | I will also point out, if anybody’s out there saying, “He said that wrong.” It is quoted as wrong. |
| Matt: | Oh wow. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | The actual quote is, “You got to ask yourself, do I feel lucky?” |
| Chris: | Yep. |
| Dan: | And it’s not- |
| Chris: | “Do you feel…” Yep. |
| Dan: | … “Do you feel lucky?” |
| Matt: | Did he shoot five or six times? |
| Mark: | Well, in all the confusion, I sort of forgot. So what you got to do is you got to ask yourself- |
| Chris: | Yeah, that’s a three. |
| Mark: | … how… I’m going to- |
| Matt: | I’d say three. |
| Mark: | I got to go two. |
| Chris: | I’m going to say three. |
| Mark: | I would say three. |
| Dan: | Good with three? |
| Matt: | But there again, that’s where we have a little generation gap. |
| Mark: | Yes, I… |
| Dan: | I think it’s right… For us, for in our 40s, it’s right on… We’re right on the end, he’s in the middle of it. |
| Matt: | Well, Mark probably saw it in the theater. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | I probably saw it on- |
| Dan: | I don’t think that’s an old joke- |
| Chris: | [inaudible 01:12:31]- |
| Dan: | But that’s not an old joke, it’s an old movie. |
| Matt: | I probably saw it on Betamax. |
| Mark: | As long- |
| Dan: | Mark gave me this look of like, “Do I get offended, because he’s not wrong, I did see it in the theater?” |
| Chris: | We didn’t- |
| Mark: | No, it’s. |
| Chris: | We didn’t say- |
| Matt: | It’s like Star Wars 1. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Well, 4. |
| Dan: | 4. 1. |
| Matt: | A New Hope. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | I [inaudible 01:12:48]- |
| Dan: | Star Wars. |
| Mark: | Okay, just- |
| Dan: | We didn’t say it- |
| Mark: | I will go on- |
| Dan: | … “Frankly, I give it damn.” |
| Mark: | … record, it’s going number two. But I will agree with three for you guys. |
| Dan: | Three it is okay. Okay. “Never tell me the odds.” I’m sorry. |
| Matt: | “You can’t handle the truth.” |
| Chris: | Yeah, that’s what I was- |
| Matt: | I bet that one’s on there. |
| Chris: | I thought that’s what he was going to act out. |
| Mark: | That’s- |
| Chris: | Honestly, that’s what I thought. |
| Mark: | That’s going to be a- |
| Dan: | [inaudible 01:13:06]… I only had ten, I think- |
| Chris: | But it’s an action movie. |
| Dan: | I think it’s- |
| Matt: | It’s not an movie. |
| Dan: | … all they had. It’s really not, you’re right. |
| Chris: | It’s not an action movie. |
| Matt: | It’s not. |
| Dan: | “You’re going to need a bigger boat.” |
| Mark: | Jaws. |
| Chris: | That’s low on the list for me, honestly. |
| Mark: | Whatever we have open at the back of the list. |
| Dan: | One, two, six and nine. |
| Mark: | Nine. |
| Chris: | Nine. |
| Matt: | Yeah, I’d go nine. |
| Dan: | Really? |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Which, that’s another one that’s misquoted a lot. |
| Dan: | It is too. You’re right. All right. Hasta la Vista, baby.” |
| Chris: | It’s another one, it’s like it’s just… That’s like a two. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | It’s- |
| Matt: | It’s up there. |
| Dan: | I’d- |
| Chris: | Remember the add campaigns around that. |
| Dan: | Yeah. What’s a bigger quote? Hasta la Vista or I’ll be back? I would say, Hasta la Vista, because- |
| Matt: | [inaudible 01:13:58]- |
| Dan: | … it was a bigger movie. |
| Chris: | It reminds me of Taco Bell. |
| Dan: | Terminator was more of a cult classic. |
| Matt: | I’d say they’re about the same. It’s still just Arnold in broken- |
| Dan: | You’ve got, “I’ll be- |
| Matt: | … English. |
| Dan: | “… back.” At five. And you’ve got one, two, and six left. |
| Mark: | Six. |
| Matt: | I’d go six on it. It’s definitely not a 1 or 2- |
| Chris: | I’d say two- |
| Matt: | … I don’t think. |
| Chris: | … but that’s, “Hasta la Vista, baby.” Would take |
| Dan: | Okay. |
| Chris: | I want to know how many people walked out of the first showing of that and looked at their friends and be like, “Hasta la Vista, baby.” |
| Dan: | Oh, it was… Nobody knew that before. After that movie, everyone said it. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | All right, you got two left. |
| Chris: | Okay. |
| Matt: | So one and two? |
| Dan: | Ah shit. |
| Chris: | Oh man. Oh man. |
| Dan: | Yippee ki Ya, motherfucker. |
| Chris: | I mean it’s- |
| Mark: | One. |
| Matt: | Yeah, it’s number one. |
| Dan: | I mean, I said it. It’s- |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | It really is, it’s… And it is a Christmas movie. |
| Dan: | And I said- |
| Chris: | I agree- |
| Dan: | … ah, shit- |
| Chris: | … Christmas movie. |
| Dan: | … because I think you guys are going to get pissed. “If he dies, he dies.” |
| Mark: | Now that could be- |
| Matt: | Oh. |
| Mark: | … two. |
| Dan: | Rocky 4. |
| Matt: | I could see where that could be two. That could be one or two. |
| Dan: | Okay. |
| Matt: | That gets quoted a lot. |
| Dan: | So there you go. Our top 10 movie quotes of all time. From the ones that I submitted to you guys, “Yippee ya…” I always thought it was, “Yippee Ya yo ki Ya.” |
| Mark: | No. |
| Matt: | It’s. |
| Mark: | “Yippee ki Ya, motherfucker.” |
| Chris: | That’s what I thought it was. |
| Dan: | Is our number one. And I’m really surprised, “This is Sparta.” Would be a top five for me. |
| Mark: | No. |
| Dan: | Oh my God, that- |
| Mark: | It wasn’t the- |
| Dan: | That might’ve got my dick a little hard, when he said that. |
| Matt: | In the movie theater? Yes. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | But that whole movie had my dick, not because of the topless guys. And [inaudible 01:15:33]- |
| Dan: | Definitely not because of the- |
| Chris: | That was the reason for me. |
| Dan: | … topless guys. |
| Chris: | I mean, the amount of- |
| Matt: | It was just- |
| Chris: | … work those guys do. |
| Dan: | And the narrator- |
| Matt: | The amount of blood- |
| Dan: | … had the- |
| Matt: | … and- |
| Dan: | Fuck. |
| Matt: | … fighting and… |
| Chris: | They had a hunchback. |
| Matt: | It’s true. |
| Chris: | I mean, he’s such a little jerk. |
| Matt: | And that movie’s been spoofed a few times. |
| Chris: | Yeah, it has. |
| Dan: | What was the quote with her and… The queen and- |
| Chris: | The queen was badass. |
| Matt: | And Leonidas? |
| Dan: | “This is not going to end quickly.” I can’t even remember the quote, but, no, it was the queen and the politician dude. |
| Chris: | Oh. |
| Dan: | And he ends up screwing her. |
| Chris: | Oh, yeah. |
| Dan: | And then fucking her in the end. He- |
| Matt: | Literally. |
| Dan: | … had sex with her, so that… She screwed with him so that he would send support- |
| Chris: | But he said it to her first, and then she said it back, and put a knife- |
| Dan: | Yeah, and then she said- |
| Chris: | … him. |
| Dan: | … it back as she stabbed him. Ah, it’s such a great movie. All right, that’s going to do it for us today. Thanks everybody for listening to Library Pubcast. If you like this, send us a top 10 you want us to do. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | If it’s top 10 football teams of all time. I was- |
| Matt: | Go pat, go. |
| Dan: | I didn’t want to do top 10 bourbons because I think it’s so- |
| Matt: | For this- |
| Chris: | I would stay away from- |
| Matt: | … objective- |
| Chris: | … whiskey and booze for this- |
| Dan: | Well, and it’s- |
| Chris: | … topic. |
| Matt: | Well, it’s very subjective. |
| Dan: | If were… We’re sitting around 2,500 bottles, I can’t pick 10. I could pick 10 for me. 10 for [inaudible 01:16:48], or for Matt. |
| Matt: | I could pick 10 of each style. |
| Dan: | Yeah, maybe that. Maybe top 10 brines. |
| Chris: | You know- |
| Dan: | Top 10- |
| Chris: | You know who would be- |
| Dan: | … scotches. |
| Chris: | … the best moderator for this segment, would be Kevin. |
| Dan: | Kevin. |
| Chris: | Right over there. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | It would be Kevin. Kevin’s got an eclectic knowledge that he’d be able to throw out ideas and have 12, that we rank. But anyway. |
| Dan: | So if there’s a top 10- |
| Chris: | Or you want to [inaudible 01:17:12] that bust. |
| Dan: | If there’s a top 10 blind ranking you guys want us to do, either message, Library Pub Facebook page, comment on the post. Or on our Spotify, you can do comments and send [inaudible 01:17:25] just- |
| Matt: | Or stop in at the bar. |
| Dan: | Stop in at the bar and talk to us. |
| Matt: | Talk to one of us. |
| Dan: | We’ll do that too. |
| Matt: | To answer your Sunday, I’m here every night during the week. |
| Dan: | It’s supposed to get warmer this week- |
| Matt: | Maybe. |
| Dan: | … but bourbon and beer help kind of get the blood flowing, so swing out to the Library Pub. From Matt, Mark. Chris, I’m Dan. Thanks everybody. |
| Mark: | Bye. |
| Dan: | Have a good week. |
| Matt: | Yes, super- |
| Dan: | Matt, tell us bye. |
| Matt: | Bye us. Super-duper. |
