Podcast Transcription
| Dan: | Episode 255 of the Library Pubcast being recorded 90th and Fort in Omaha, Nebraska, librarypubomaha.com, Library Pub Omaha on Facebook page for the latest events, happenings. Walked in yesterday on Sunday to start my shift and saw a commercial being shot here, the Omaha Shakespeare- |
| Matt: | Yeah, those people. |
| Dan: | I’m going to get it wrong, but they were here a couple of months ago for a really cool performance that I’m really glad that the pub booked them because I was kind of skeptical when I heard about it and then came in and they were getting set up. But it’s basically a Shakespeare act group that does about a half-hour to 45-minute performance of Shakespeare plays but they update it a little bit to be a little bit more modern so not quite Romeo and Juliet-esque, but a little more modern. And I was really surprised at the way the regulars reacted and this place was packed. |
| Mark: | Yes, it was. That’s why we’re doing it again on August- |
| Dan: | 2nd I think or 3rd? Let’s see, it’ll be the 3rd because Scarlet’s due on Sunday the 10th so I’m hoping that I get to work that shift on the 3rd now. |
| Matt: | I’ll be gone. |
| Dan: | Not that I was going to take it off anyways but just I let the fill-ins know what day I take off is all going to depend on when she arrives. |
| Chris: | What day is it again? |
| Dan: | August 3rd. Sunday, August 3rd. |
| Chris: | Okay. |
| Dan: | It’s a really cool deal and you got to get here early to get a seat. It was packed last time, I think it was standing room only. |
| Matt: | I was golfing. |
| Chris: | Was that your golf trip? |
| Matt: | No, that was just at the beginning of golf. |
| Dan: | Did you miss it last time also? |
| Matt: | Uh-huh. |
| Dan: | Oh, I thought you were here. |
| Matt: | Nope, I didn’t get here ’til afterwards. |
| Dan: | I got to say a big thank you to Kevin. He came in and helped me finish getting ready for the day and then helped me bartend ’cause it was a rush. Nothing, rush, and then cashouts. In that four-hour window we split $450 in tips. |
| Matt: | Nice. |
| Dan: | And he said keep it and give it to Scarlet so that’s going to her college fund. |
| Matt: | And Dan said with a wink, “I sure will.” |
| Chris: | Yeah, right. |
| Dan: | It’s currently still sitting in an envelope on my dresser and we’re hopefully opening up that account. |
| Chris: | Colleges aren’t going to be around by the time she’s grown up. |
| Dan: | I know, that’s what I’m like. |
| Chris: | Except for cancer colleges. |
| Dan: | Probably |
| Mark: | Dan’s baby shower was last weekend. I of course did not go. |
| Chris: | I didn’t go either. |
| Mark: | Yeah. And I would give to Dan a check on Monday and he didn’t show up. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | Then his lovely spouse was here yesterday, we made the check out to her, not Dan. |
| Dan: | I appreciate you holding her hand, explaining to her how to write a check. |
| Mark: | She was confused. |
| Dan: | She’s of the generation like I remember in our, maybe it was my math class maybe like sixth grade, it was a part of our criteria for the semester- |
| Chris: | It’s on the test. |
| Dan: | And at the end of the year we were like, “Hey, could you tell us how to write a check?” And the teacher’s like, “Well, they’re not really much of a thing,” and that was when I was still in middle school. It’s not even taught anymore how to write a check, which it’s one of those obsolete things like- |
| Matt: | It’s not that hard. |
| Mark: | And the thing is it’s pretty self-explanatory. Look at the check it says date. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | It says payable to. |
| Dan: | Yep. |
| Mark: | It says amount. I mean this is not rocket science Jen, whatever you are. |
| Dan: | But to those people that have never done it before, you got questions and you were nice to help her answer. |
| Mark: | I’m confused, I know I’m the boomer and I don’t know what millennials are. What are X and Z? |
| Dan: | I don’t even care. |
| Chris: | I know. Matt, we’re X. |
| Matt: | Are we Gen X? |
| Chris: | Yeah, we’re X. We’re apparently on the virtual- |
| Matt: | We’re the cool generation. |
| Chris: | Yeah. We’re like the missing link. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | Between boomers- |
| Mark: | Plenty of beer and lack of hair. |
| Chris: | Smell, yeah, everything. |
| Dan: | I was surprised, I think I’m one of the first couple of years of a millennial. |
| Chris: | You’re a Xennial I think is what they, because you are on that cusp that what I think ’78 to ’80 are, I might be a Xennial too because you were ’81? |
| Dan: | I’m ’82. |
| Chris: | ’82? Yeah, you’re definitely a Xennial. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | So … |
| Matt: | I was in kindergarten in ’82. |
| Chris: | You can go back and forth, you remember times when- |
| Dan: | That would be a fun top 10 list, top 10 things we don’t do anymore. Write in cursive, dial a phone. |
| Matt: | Teach cursive. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Yeah. Dial a phone, call Bill. |
| Mark: | Cursive is now a code. |
| Dan: | It is. |
| Matt: | It’s like hieroglyphics. |
| Dan: | It was a code back then. When I was even a kid and I learned how to write I was like, “What did grandma write here?” |
| Mark: | A capital Q in cursive still makes no sense. |
| Dan: | It really doesn’t. I get it, I get it, it looks similar. |
| Mark: | Why is it a two? |
| Chris: | Howie exclusively writes in cursive. |
| Dan: | Does he? |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | He’s starting his own secret society. |
| Chris: | Yes. |
| Dan: | Weekends, anybody have any fun, doing anything fun? |
| Matt: | Golfed in the rain yesterday for two hours. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | That was awesome. |
| Dan: | Big rainstorm that came through Sunday morning. |
| Matt: | Super. That’s about it. |
| Dan: | Mark, do you have anything fun this weekend? |
| Mark: | No, it was my anniversary- |
| Dan: | It was 18 years, right? |
| Mark: | Yep. |
| Dan: | Congratulations. |
| Matt: | Happy anniversary. |
| Chris: | You can join the military. Your wedding, your marriage can join the military. Can’t drink though. |
| Mark: | I tried, they didn’t want me. |
| Dan: | Chris? |
| Chris: | Friday was just chill with Howie and played video games day, that was pretty cool. Saturday, what did we do Saturday? I have no idea what I did Saturday. Sunday was a big church thing and- |
| Matt: | Your wife and Howie were gone Saturday, you played video games and drank a beer. |
| Chris: | Oh, I did play video games, yeah, I did have a beer. That’s right ’cause we were texting I was like, “I’m going to have a beer,” I mowed, that’s what I did. |
| Dan: | Can we switch lives for just one weekend? |
| Chris: | You’ll get there, Dan. You’ll get there. |
| Dan: | I got to get there. |
| Chris: | You’ll get there, you’re going to burn out. |
| Dan: | I’m at the end. |
| Matt: | You’ve got about eight years. |
| Dan: | Oh, God. |
| Chris: | So yeah, we had a big church thing on Sunday and fireworks and baptisms and I got to baptize my sister so that was- |
| Matt: | Did you dunk her an extra time? You’re like- |
| Chris: | I got her down in there for a little longer. |
| Matt: | [inaudible 00:07:14]. |
| Chris: | I couldn’t get 99% of her, I had to get 100%. |
| Matt: | Exactly. You want her to feel the whole spirit? |
| Chris: | I didn’t want the forehead to be not baptized so I had to get her all the way in there. |
| Dan: | No Achilles’ heel? |
| Chris: | Yeah, so it was good. |
| Matt: | The forehead. |
| Dan: | It was good. She’s going to get hit in the forehead. |
| Chris: | It was good, it was emotional, it was fantastic. |
| Dan: | Awesome man. |
| Chris: | Cool fireworks. |
| Dan: | Good for you guys. |
| Chris: | That’s what we did. |
| Dan: | I’m going to tell a story that I’m going to have the Mark button ready to go. |
| Matt: | Oh, gosh. |
| Dan: | But I think it’s a rather interesting story. Most of the people that are up at the pub yesterday learned all about it or have heard about it since Thursday. |
| Matt: | Is this the stroller story? |
| Dan: | This is the stroller story. So, I got an email from Missy earlier in the week. |
| Matt: | Missy sent Dan an email. |
| Dan: | Her and a bunch of the people up at the pub all threw some money in and got Sarah and I a stroller bought it off at Target. She forwarded me the email showing, “Here’s your order number and your tracking number.” |
| Chris: | Cool, very expensive. |
| Dan: | And Thursday comes around and Sarah calls me and says, “Hey, did the people at the pub really mean to buy us four strollers?” And I was like, “Well, I have no idea, I just have a confirmation email. Let me text Missy.” And I’m like, “Hey, I really appreciate all you guys did for us, but did you mean to buy us four strollers?” |
| Matt: | We’re only having one. |
| Mark: | I thought it was five. |
| Dan: | Don’t jump ahead sir. |
| Mark: | Oh, sorry. |
| Dan: | She replies back four, which by the way, she used proper grammar, f-o-u-r, 18 exclamation points and seven question marks. And I said, “I take it you didn’t mean to send four so check your confirmation and check your bank account and make sure you didn’t get charged for four.” Sure enough, she did not get charged for four. So then we started investigating and none of the four strollers had the tracking number that was on the order confirmation but all four of them had the same order confirmation number. Then on Friday a fifth stroller shows up at the house with the same order number and the correct tracking number. So, somehow somebody at Target’s distribution center managed to print off five order forms. |
| Mark: | Ring, ring, ring. This is Guido from Target’s- |
| Chris: | Guido? |
| Matt: | Guido? |
| Chris: | Never had anybody named Guido. |
| Mark: | Well, we are now looking for some strollers. |
| Matt: | Guido’s the head of the collection agency. |
| Chris: | Star Wars character. Oh, that’s Greedo. |
| Matt: | Same difference. |
| Dan: | The fun conversation we’ve had is how does this happen? You would think a big enough company like Target would have a fail-safe. I take a lot of what we know at Johnson Brothers, right? When an order prints off for bottles of something, it comes out of the system, those bottles are now gone, the order is now gone. There’s no printing it five times. It can’t, it’s a fail-safe. |
| Matt: | Well, I mean they print it three times ’cause you send us three copies of the- |
| Dan: | You need the office copy to sign, you need the customer copy for records and then you need the manifest. |
| Matt: | Yeah, no, I don’t know. |
| Dan: | For nothing. Anyways, so we ended up, Sarah did some research and according to federal law, Target has no legal recourse to ask for those or to demand for those strollers back. |
| Mark: | That is bullshit. |
| Dan: | According to- |
| Mark: | They do. |
| Dan: | Well, they can ask for it but we have no legal recourse to have to get it back to- |
| Mark: | If your bank makes a mistake and puts some dollars in your account, you can’t just keep it. |
| Dan: | Yeah. Well, I ain’t talking about the banking industry, I’m talking about the- |
| Matt: | Target. |
| Dan: | Retail industry law specifically set up for the online ordering system ’cause she googled it, she looked through, it was on the government website. |
| Matt: | Oh my god, it’s on the internet. Bonjour. |
| Dan: | Yeah, that’s what I said to her was like- |
| Chris: | Eat that Guido. |
| Dan: | Is this just some website but it was a government website so we believe it and we now have five strollers so … |
| Matt: | Well, you guys are going to have a- |
| Chris: | How much are these strollers a piece? |
| Matt: | 150 |
| Chris: | Perfect, sell them. Market, sell them. |
| Dan: | So, we’re selling, they’re already, yeah. |
| Matt: | I’d probably just box them back up and take them to Target. |
| Chris: | I would honestly put them in your garage. |
| Dan: | Oh, that’s definitely what I’ll do. |
| Matt: | For store credit. |
| Chris: | For store credit, that’s hilarious. I would honestly put them in your garage for the first six months just in case they do come out after you. |
| Mark: | Then I would send them for every person you know. |
| Matt: | There you go. |
| Mark: | Who has a shower. |
| Chris: | Oh. |
| Dan: | That is a really good idea. |
| Matt: | It is a good idea. |
| Chris: | Have you got into the whole car seat just laws and everything like that? |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | It’s pretty insane. |
| Dan: | She’s read deep into them. |
| Chris: | Yeah. I couldn’t give you the car seat that Howie has because it’s against the law. |
| Matt: | I swear to God when we were kids they just- |
| Mark: | Who would know? |
| Chris: | Exactly. |
| Matt: | I swear to God they- |
| Chris: | Here’s what they’re going to do in a car accident, “Oh, let’s check this, let’s check this baby seat.” |
| Matt: | They just bungee corded us to a seat. |
| Chris: | I know. I remember- |
| Dan: | I came home in the front seat there’s a picture of it. |
| Mark: | Why would a kid, you stood on the passenger side and every time your mom needs to break her right arm came out. |
| Dan: | Yep. |
| Mark: | Boom. |
| Matt: | Yep. |
| Dan: | I used to sleep in the back window of my mom’s- |
| Mark: | Oh, yeah. |
| Dan: | Oldsmobile 88. |
| Matt: | What the fuck? |
| Dan: | I just go and sleep back there on the way home. |
| Matt: | What are you a cat? |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | That’s weird. I mean, you are from Redo. |
| Mark: | No, [inaudible 00:13:09] on this one. We went on vacation, one guy got the seat to lay down [inaudible 00:13:18] the back window. |
| Dan: | Yeah, there was three of us so I always got the floorboard with the hump. |
| Chris: | Ah dude, it was so comfortable, it was so warm to sleep on though. That’s where I slept between my mom and dad on any road trip in our van like it was slept right between them. |
| Mark: | How do you do a road trip like 29 kids? |
| Chris: | Well, I mean there’s only six of us. |
| Matt: | School bus. |
| Chris: | So like a bus and a trailer. |
| Matt: | They’re like the Partridge family. |
| Chris: | And there would be massive fights on who got to sit where. |
| Matt: | Oh, man. |
| Chris: | By who? |
| Matt: | I bet. |
| Chris: | I was like, “I’m just going to sleep between mom and dad.” |
| Matt: | I’m the youngest. |
| Dan: | Did you guys have rotating days of who got to sit in the front seat? |
| Chris: | No, mom always mom, always sat there. |
| Dan: | Well, because we always were at home with mom from school and it was always me and my brother and my sister. And then it was Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday got to rotate and guess who the third one got the fuzzy end of the lollipop ’cause we never rode home- |
| Matt: | I didn’t get to ride to school with my parents ’cause I walked. |
| Mark: | Uphill? |
| Matt: | Both ways. |
| Mark: | Both ways in the snow. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Mark, you ready to drink? |
| Mark: | Sure. |
| Dan: | Well, this is fun conversation but anyway so I got plenty of strollers and Target is down like $600 in revenue this week. |
| Chris: | Shoot. Let’s tag them in this podcast. |
| Dan: | We don’t need that. |
| Matt: | Big red bullseye. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
Glenmorangie – Triple Cask Reserve
| Dan: | All right. Whiskey number one, Mark, what do we have? |
| Mark: | We are trying Glenmorangie Triple Cask, no age statement. This is a new core product for them. It’s aged first in ex-bourbon barrels then in new charred oak then in rye barrels. There is no Pedro Ximenez involved. |
| Dan: | What are we even doing here then? Come on, Glenmo. Okay, pretty typical Glenmo nose, pretty fruity. |
| Mark: | I gripe but I’m slow. |
| Matt: | I don’t love it, I don’t hate it. It runs right down the middle. |
| Dan: | Yeah, what are we doing? What’s a bottle of this? |
| Matt: | 40 bucks, $42 or something like that. |
| Dan: | This would be in my collection for that amount of money. |
| Chris: | You could definitely bring this over for a dinner or a gift. This would be a great housewarming gift to anybody. I’d be super pumped like, “Let’s open this right now,” and not mad when it goes away. |
| Matt: | No. |
| Dan: | Glenmorangie Triple Cask? |
| Chris: | That’s really freaking easy drinking. |
| Matt: | Dangerously easy. |
| Dan: | Looking at this so on the necker it’s Triple Cask Reserve and when I heard Triple Cask I’m like, I don’t know that reminds me of Jameson. And then, they may have thought the same thing and they were like, “Let’s throw reserve on there.” |
| Mark: | I miss the sweet. |
| Chris: | You missed the sweet? |
| Mark: | Mm-hmm. This is all spices. |
| Chris: | Yeah, I can see your- |
| Matt: | Kind of cinnamon-y, clove-y. |
| Chris: | You know what I don’t miss? |
| Mark: | [inaudible 00:16:33]. |
| Dan: | No, he does miss that. |
| Chris: | Yeah, come on. |
| Dan: | He tells me. |
| Matt: | Just some weeks. |
| Chris: | For real. So, you guys remember I’m going to take you back before everybody really started drinking. Remember when before you were 21, Mark? Let’s go way back. |
| Dan: | Think back. |
| Mark: | For me it was before you were 18. |
| Chris: | Right, right. |
| Dan: | I was going to say because the law was different back then. It was 18, right? |
| Chris: | Oh yeah, that’s right. |
| Mark: | It was 18 in Iowa and 19 in Nebraska. |
| Dan: | Now did you turn 18 during prohibition or was it- |
| Matt: | Oh, boo. |
| Chris: | Stop. All right, so here’s what I like. Man, I don’t taste alcohol anymore, the actual- |
| Matt: | Like the harshness? |
| Chris: | Yeah, like the harshness or like, “Oh, gosh,” that people really reel back and like, “Oh man, it’s so hard to drink.” I don’t get that. And if I do, it’s bad stuff. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | It’s bad. I don’t get it at all, I don’t get any alcohol. |
| Dan: | I don’t understand it when they do either. |
| Chris: | Yeah. Dude, what do you mean you taste caramel or this is sweet? No, it’s not. And they just shake their heads and- |
| Dan: | I remember when I bought my first case of booze, it was a case of Bernheim. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | And I watered that mother down so much for the first couple of bottles and then finally- |
| Mark: | Bernheim? |
| Dan: | Yep. |
| Mark: | Oh my God. |
| Dan: | Well yeah, listen, I’m in the same boat I’m like- |
| Matt: | Well, you were a beer drinker that switched to whiskey. |
| Dan: | Right. |
| Mark: | Watered down [inaudible 00:18:17]. |
| Dan: | I know, I know. But I watered it down and then eventually bottle by bottle and glass by glass. |
| Matt: | A little less. |
| Dan: | I put a little less water into it. |
| Mark: | I just took my second sip, I’d like it more. |
| Dan: | Yeah. I think this is good Glenmo. |
| Chris: | I’m curious if I take a hiatus from drinking, are those training wheels always going to be off? Am I going to be, let’s say I stopped drinking for six months and we go, am I going to taste the alcohol on that? Because I’m not used to it anymore, I don’t have the training wheels, I’m curious about that. |
| Dan: | I think a lot of it- |
| Matt: | I’ve got a question, now you’re going to quit drinking for six months? |
| Chris: | I mean, I- |
| Matt: | No. |
| Chris: | It’s probably easier than other habits that I have. |
| Matt: | It’s true. Jerking off. |
| Chris: | Yeah. Cussing. Cussing’s a tough one to break, it is. |
| Matt: | It is. |
| Dan: | I think it would always be there to a certain extent ’cause you’ve also learned how to drink. If I was to take that bottle of Glenmo, which has very little burn to it, a little bit of flavor it’s nice and light and easy. And if I was to shoot it like a shot, I would get all that burn. |
| Chris: | You would? I wouldn’t. |
| Dan: | We have learned how to properly drink it. You don’t drink a glass of wine like you drink a beer, you don’t drink whiskey like you drink beer, you drink whiskey more like you drink wine. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | But also it’s a little bit different. So, when we’ve developed the method to it it takes a lot of that burn away because there’s not any airs going down when you’re swallowing. |
| Matt: | Well, and you’re not trying to go nuts with it. |
| Chris: | Did you even try to do that? |
| Matt: | No. Nope. |
| Mark: | Dan is really good- |
| Chris: | I just caught it. |
| Mark: | At swallowing. |
| Chris: | Yeah, I am curious about that. I’ve been thinking about it. |
| Dan: | That’s interesting. Yeah. |
| Chris: | I don’t know. |
| Dan: | It’s interesting. |
| Matt: | Nuts. |
| Dan: | Are you thinking about taking the time off drinking? |
| Chris: | I don’t know, it’s been kicking around, been rolling around in my head maybe a little bit. |
| Dan: | I think after race season I’m probably going to, I’m just going to stop drinking. |
| Chris: | Just fasting from it? |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | For like a month see what happens. |
| Mark: | It’s got a nice finish. |
| Dan: | Thank you, Mark. Thank you for bringing us back around. |
| Chris: | Well yeah, you haven’t really drank and I mean this is the only time that you drink now, so do you get more alcohol on things now since you- |
| Mark: | No. |
| Chris: | No? Okay. Okay. |
| Matt: | Interesting. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
Glen Scotia – 18 Year Old
| Dan: | All right, scotch number two. So, that first one again was Glenmorangie Tripe Cask Reserve, $9 a pour probably? |
| Chris: | 10 |
| Dan: | $10 a pour? And it’s available at Library Pub. You did say this is going to be readily available? |
| Mark: | Yes. |
| Dan: | This is one of their normals? Did they stop doing the original? |
| Mark: | Yes. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Mm. |
| Dan: | We had this one before? |
| Matt: | Nope, this is brand new to the bar. |
| Dan: | I was going to say I don’t recognize it, Glen Scota? |
| Matt: | Scotia like Nova Scotia. |
| Dan: | Okay. |
| Mark: | Glen Scotia is a Campbeltown distillery, which in the last 10 years Campbeltown has made it resurgence. |
| Chris: | Salty. |
| Mark: | 10 or 12 years ago there was only one Campbeltown distillery, now there’s like six or seven. And when you hear Campbeltown, yes, the whole Campbeltown area is one little town the size of Waterloo. |
| Chris: | It’s made up a bunch of camps and bells. |
| Dan: | Waterloo, Nebraska? |
| Mark: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | Little town. |
| Matt: | Just a town. |
| Dan: | You’re actually, Waterloo, Nebraska you’re not talking about Waterloo, England. |
| Mark: | No. |
| Matt: | There’s a Waterloo, England? |
| Chris: | England. |
| Mark: | It is a tiny little town. |
| Chris: | I get so much salinity on the nose and salt. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | Ooh, I like this. |
| Matt: | This is good though. |
| Chris: | There is so much stuff going on on this. |
| Matt: | This one’s a pricier bottle, it’s 22 a pour so probably 100 and 150 bucks. |
| Chris: | I get everything that you’re supposed to get in scotch. This is really- |
| Dan: | Little, just a little bit of peatiness. |
| Chris: | Yeah, but it goes away. I don’t mind that amount of peatiness. |
| Matt: | No. |
| Chris: | At all. |
| Matt: | It’s very gentle peat too though. |
| Mark: | It’s dusty, dirty, but in a pleasurable way. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | Yeah, I could see sipping on this if this was a half-full glass, sipping on this for hours and just talking about it with people. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Just little like you take a drink of this and it’s all you have to do is let it touch your lips. It’s very flavorful. This is- |
| Mark: | All that cherry lips. |
| Dan: | I’m sorry, I turned him on. I got him started, it’s my fault. |
| Mark: | Aged in ex-bourbon and Oloroso. |
| Matt: | 12-month finish in first fill Oloroso casks so that’s a long finish. |
| Mark: | Yeah, usually they’re six to eight months. |
| Matt: | Yeah, eight months top end like high top end. This is, I like this. |
| Chris: | I like this a lot. |
| Matt: | I like it a lot. |
| Chris: | I like it a lot. |
| Dan: | Yeah, that’s- |
| Chris: | Whoseheads. Refill American Oak whoseheads, whoseheads. |
| Mark: | The Glen Scotia- |
| Dan: | Oh my God. |
| Mark: | It takes … |
| Chris: | I’m the dumbest dude you’ll ever meet. I am the dumbest dude, are you saving that? |
| Dan: | Look at it, I got it. We finally got a good submission for stupid thing center of the show. |
| Chris: | I’m sorry it’s really tiny. I thought it says whoseheads, what’s whoseheads? |
| Dan: | It says hogsheads. |
| Chris: | I was going to type in what’s a whoseheads? Then it’s going to take me to all sorts of Dr. Seuss- |
| Dan: | Oh, man. |
| Chris: | Stories. |
| Mark: | The walking distance between Glen Scotia and Springbank is less than 30 minutes door to door, they’re right next door to each other. |
| Dan: | Hang on, I didn’t understand, 30 minutes.? |
| Mark: | Three minutes. |
| Dan: | Three minutes? |
| Mark: | Between Glen Scotia and Springbank. And for those of you that drinks scotch, you know Springbank. Oh, good shit. I’m sorry I don’t talk well. |
| Dan: | It’s okay it’s absolutely not your fault. The car accident, all the stuff that’s happened is what’s causing it. |
| Mark: | Yes. |
| Dan: | Yeah, that’s … |
| Chris: | These two scotches are fantastic, dude. I couldn’t even wait to drink them. |
| Dan: | Glenmo would be a regular and this would be a little bit more of a special occasion. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Glen Scotia 18-year- |
| Chris: | It can be an everyday scotch for sure, easy, easy everyday scotch. |
| Dan: | All right. Glenmo, Glen Scotia 18-year was the second one we tried. All right Matt, what’s your first one? |
| Matt: | Oh, doggy. Oh wait, we’ll do this one first. |
| Dan: | Ooh. Good cork. |
| Matt: | Sorry. |
| Dan: | It was a moist cork too. |
| Matt: | A little tight today. |
| Dan: | Mm-hmm. By the way. Congratulations Matt, he got himself some new underwear in after ripping the living bejesus. |
| Matt: | Oh, man. |
| Dan: | It looked like- |
| Chris: | Did you just hit the ball too hard or- |
| Dan: | Like a police dog got your underwear. |
| Matt: | No, I seriously think it, like I’ve been over to get my ball out of the cup and it was just one of those really hot days and everything was just stuck to everything. |
| Dan: | The crazy thing was it wasn’t just like a rip down the seam, there was multiple rips not associated with each other. |
| Mark: | Are we going to continue to talk about Matt’s underwear? |
| Dan: | I mean, as long as it’s- |
| Chris: | Is he turning you on? |
| Mark: | No. |
| Chris: | I don’t believe you. |
| Mark: | The guy that won the PGA tournament yesterday cannot legally buy himself a drink. He won a PGA event at 20 years old. |
| Chris: | That’s crazy. |
| Matt: | I bet he can find someone that’ll buy him a drink though. I could at 16 so there’s that. |
| Dan: | That’s one of those key things you got to have. |
| Matt: | Maybe he doesn’t want to. |
| Dan: | In that 15 to 21, maybe 14 to 21 year, you got to find that good source. |
| Matt: | You got to have a guy. |
| Dan: | Yeah, you got to have a guy. |
| Chris: | I tell you, this younger generation man, they don’t really care about drinking. |
| Dan: | No. |
| Chris: | It’s crazy, where are the- |
| Mark: | It’s easier to get weed than it is to get alcohol. |
| Chris: | It’s easier, actually I mean legally it is, but if you’re going for illegal drugs, weed’s not even on their radar. They go after fricking pills and Percocets. |
| Matt: | Pills and coke. |
| Mark: | Don’t tell them that in Lincoln, Lincoln sent a cease-and-desist order to all the, what do you call- |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Dispensaries. |
| Chris: | Dude, oh my gosh. |
| Mark: | To dispensaries in Lincoln. Yeah. |
| Chris: | Well, they’ll do it here so I have an account that has some TH stuff and they’re a big account and they have CBD TH drinks on their menu and the city or the Liquor Commission just came down that their taxes if they want to continue to sell it, $75,000. |
| Matt: | Holy shit. |
| Dan: | Their normal tax is? |
| Chris: | Like 19K. But this is like a top number three account. |
| Dan: | How can you do that? How can they come down and just say, “Hey, we’re going to tax you extra because you’re selling THC and CBD drinks. |
| Matt: | The government. |
| Dan: | I mean, they got legal recourse to be like, “You can’t just tax us, you have to put it into law.” |
| Chris: | It’s our local government. |
| Dan: | It’s like that weird thing how the people of Nebraska voted to have medical marijuana and the government said, “No, we’re not doing it.” |
| Chris: | Yeah. It’s not necessarily they’re saying no, it’s just you can’t smoke it, you can’t vape it, you can’t drink it, you can’t eat it, it can only come in a tincture and things like that. And if you do sell it, you are going to be taxed to bejesus that you’re not going to be able to make any money on it. So, it is. I’m curious to see what will happen if these guys get re-elected because I don’t … |
Yellowstone – 7 Year Old State Select Pick
| Dan: | Yellowstone seven-year, Matt. |
| Matt: | This is the state select pick, which what I’ve been told is that they’re going to do three different state barrels and this is the first release out of them. It’s a seven-year, 54.5% 109 proof. Runs about 120-ish a bottle, give or take. This was barreled on three 15 of 2018, which means- |
| Mark: | Barreled or bottled. |
| Matt: | Barreled. |
| Mark: | Okay. |
| Dan: | I assume the answer to this but I’m going to ask for clarification. This is a Nebraska state select, correct? |
| Matt: | This is a Nebraska state select. |
| Dan: | It’s not a Missouri or Iowa. |
| Matt: | No. |
| Dan: | Okay. |
| Chris: | This is actually really good. |
| Matt: | This is absolutely fantastic. |
| Dan: | You want to talk about a flavor bomb? |
| Matt: | I’m a fan of the, excuse me, of the Yellowstone stuff. |
| Dan: | Yeah, they’re really good. |
| Matt: | A seventh generation family distillers, fun bottle. |
| Dan: | Nebraska tribute? |
| Matt: | It’s a- |
| Dan: | What does it say Chris? |
| Matt: | It’s hard to read. |
| Chris: | Trifecta, dude. |
| Dan: | Oh. |
| Matt: | Yeah. He’s not big into horse racing. |
| Chris: | No. |
| Dan: | No, or cursive. |
| Matt: | Gold lettering, it is gold lettering. |
| Dan: | All right, Nebraska trifecta. |
| Chris: | Ain’t no whosehead. |
| Dan: | Hand-selected by Nebraska trifecta so I wonder who went down there and selected it. Who’s the trifecta? |
| Matt: | I don’t know. |
| Chris: | They’re all laughing about that too they’re like, “Remember that time we were, it was awesome and we got really, we called ourselves the tripod but we couldn’t really put that on a bottle so now it’s trifecta?” |
| Dan: | Now we’re the trifecta. |
| Matt: | We’re the tripod. |
| Chris: | Trifecta. |
| Matt: | Interesting. |
| Dan: | How much a drink? |
| Matt: | This is $8 an ounce for us. |
| Chris: | Oh, so this is not expensive, got it. |
| Matt: | An ounce so that’s a half port. |
| Chris: | Got it, never mind. |
| Dan: | Still not expensive. Are you limiting it to one drink per- |
| Matt: | We are not. |
| Dan: | Okay. |
| Matt: | Which is something that we sometimes do on certain things. Now, the Yellowstone stuff is not as popular as what I feel it should be so we don’t put a pour limit on it. |
| Dan: | Okay. |
| Matt: | But it’s good, this is good bourbon, especially for only being a young seven-year. |
| Chris: | 109 proof and it drinks like an 80. The only warmth you get is your belly gets it. |
| Dan: | It’d be great on a nice snowy day. |
| Chris: | Or ice cream. |
| Matt: | Or when it’s 100 degrees out and I’m sitting inside in the air conditioning. |
| Mark: | Bubblegum on the nose. Bub’s Big Daddy. |
| Matt: | Nice. Bazooka Joe? |
| Mark: | No, Bub’s. |
| Chris: | Bub’s? |
| Dan: | Bub’s. |
| Matt: | Yeah. If I could find a bottle of this for home, I would definitely buy a bottle personally. |
| Dan: | Wow, I can’t imagine this is true but Fox News reported that Chick-fil-A is now officially America’s favorite fastfood restaurant. Chick-fil-A then retweeted it and said, “Imagine if we opened on Sundays, had to give someone else a chance like Wendy’s.” |
| Mark: | Wow. |
| Dan: | Wendy’s then retweeted and said, “Your mom is a hoe.” |
| Matt: | Yeah. No. |
| Chris: | Do you know who does their social media? |
| Dan: | Who, Wendy’s. No. |
| Chris: | It’s the, “I’m a snake.” |
| Dan: | What? |
| Chris: | “I’m a slithering snake.” |
| Matt: | Is it really? |
| Chris: | That is dude. He’s like a huge, he literally catapulted himself into stardom and has used that as a marketing tool for himself because he’s hilarious, dude. He literally is super fricking funny, he does multiple of those. |
| Dan: | If that’s true, that’s awesome. If fastfood chain calling another one a hoe or selling their mom as a hoe. |
| Matt: | Have you seen the billboard wars? |
| Dan: | Oh, yeah. |
| Matt: | That they’ll message each other with their little message boards on their sign. |
| Chris: | That’s funny. |
Booker’s – By the Pond Batch
| Dan: | Anyways, sorry I had to distract for a moment there. All right, whiskey number two. |
| Matt: | This is- |
| Dan: | The unopened treasure. Opened unopened treasure. |
| Matt: | This is Booker’s second release of 2025, it is called the By The Pond batch. And it’s a fun little backstory and I’m not 100% sure who writes the little cards for the Booker’s bottles. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | But Booker Noe made his kids dig a pond in the backyard. |
| Dan: | Really? |
| Matt: | And that’s what this story talks about is that they dug this pond and then they filled it, well then the pond leaked so they had to put a liner in the pond. And he basically wanted it so that they could have fresh catfish and fresh fish for the family to eat so that’s why they built this pond. |
| Mark: | But if you put a liner in, the catfish won’t live. |
| Matt: | Yeah, I don’t know about all that, just going by what I read. |
| Dan: | Honestly sounds like a Dan project. Starts off with a good idea and good intentions and then before you know it, I’m $10,000 farther in debt, pissed off. Probably had a trip to the emergency room and none of it worked out. |
| Matt: | They built this or dug a hole in the backyard and I guess they held the liner down with big rocks and yeah, it was so that the family could have fresh fish. |
| Dan: | That’s awesome. |
| Matt: | Seems like a lot of work for some catfish nuggets. |
| Dan: | I know. A little bit, a little bit. |
| Matt: | This stuff is 63.25% so 1245. |
| Dan: | And by the way, to anybody that works at Booker’s that is currently listening to this podcast, welcome, you found heaven. Second off, fix your fucking labels. |
| Matt: | What’s wrong with their labels? |
| Dan: | I hate this shit. |
| Matt: | Oh, how tiny it is? |
| Dan: | How am I supposed to read that amongst 58 Booker’s bottles? |
| Matt: | Well, you look at the number, you look at the 25-02. |
| Dan: | Nobody ever orders it by the number, they say, “I want”- |
| Mark: | Yes, they do. |
| Dan: | Okay. Work on a Sunday, they don’t. |
| Mark: | They come in asking for, “Do you have 2025 number two? I don’t know, go away. |
| Dan: | I can’t say that. |
| Chris: | This is blackout central. |
| Matt: | Yeah, oh yeah. This stuff could break your brain. It’s really good though. |
| Chris: | Are you kidding me? Is it pond water? |
| Matt: | It might maybe a touch filtered through limestone. |
| Chris: | Dive into that pond with my mouth open if that’s what it tastes like. |
| Matt: | You’re going to get the poops. |
| Chris: | Probably. That’s really good. That again is like that last scotch that we did. We could sit and talk about this all day long. |
| Matt: | Until we couldn’t talk. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Okay. Listen, talking to the Booker’s person again, your juice is really fucking good but please fix your label. |
| Chris: | There’s nothing wrong with the label, Dan. |
| Dan: | Yes, it is. |
| Chris: | It’s iconic. Just because it ruins your day. |
| Dan: | And that’s what I’m here to do. |
| Matt: | It’s just not big enough for- |
| Dan: | Make others |
| Matt: | For people with bad eyes. |
| Dan: | Make my life easier. |
| Chris: | 2025-02. |
| Dan: | Right. Again, I’m telling you guys, I have had 100% nobody has ever told me the number. |
| Matt: | Which my biggest Booker’s drinker just goes, “Just give me a random Booker’s.” |
| Chris: | Just have them get you a Booker’s chalkboard, let me see now available. |
| Dan: | Or a magnifying glass. |
| Chris: | No. |
| Dan: | Can I get a magnifying glass? |
| Chris: | And then just right up there, just as big as that little tiny [inaudible 00:37:09] and say Booker’s available then you put the 2023-03, 2022. People will know. |
| Dan: | Can they put the shoulder shrug on the board too? |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Because there was a lot of shrugging going on. |
| Matt: | It’s like a dance. |
| Dan: | I know. |
| Matt: | It’s like a fun dance. |
| Dan: | Okay, back to the point. This is really good. Mark’s not going to like it because it’s warm. |
| Matt: | Because it’s high proof. |
| Dan: | But this is really freaking good. |
| Mark: | Wow. |
| Dan: | It is a true sipper. |
| Chris: | There is some pond water in there. |
| Matt: | Just a touch. |
| Chris: | I’ll give it to Dan, he’ll drink anything. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | But this Booker’s is super cherry. |
| Chris: | It’s just good. |
| Dan: | Pond water just makes me think of back home. |
| Matt: | You ride in the back window out to the pond. |
| Dan: | Mm-hmm. Walk down to the creek that had the little trickle of water that was most likely infested with leeches and pesticides and herbicides. |
| Matt: | Oh, all sorts of stuff. Yeah. |
| Dan: | Yes, for farmer’s spray runoff. |
| Matt: | Let’s eat those fish. |
| Chris: | Especially the three-eyed ones. |
| Dan: | Mm-hmm. |
| Chris: | Got to cut them correctly, otherwise you’ll die. |
| Matt: | Like what’s that Fugu? Is that the pufferfish? |
| Dan: | Blinky is from the Simpsons, he’s the three-eyed fish. |
| Chris: | Is that the three-eyed fish? |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | Was that Homer that went through the study of trying to cut it so they could eat it? It was the best piece of fish. |
| Dan: | Man, there’s no telling anymore. I mean, they’re literally like what, 25, 26 seasons? |
| Chris: | Man, I was reading. |
| Dan: | They’ve done everything. |
| Chris: | Everything, but they’re still predicting stuff. |
| Dan: | Come on. |
| Matt: | And getting it right. |
| Chris: | They are. |
| Dan: | Come on. |
| Chris: | They are. |
| Dan: | That’s all cute stuff. |
| Chris: | That’s all what? |
| Dan: | That’s all cute stuff. They’ve done enough episodes they’re going to predict a few things. |
| Chris: | Okay. But all the time though, their prediction rate’s pretty- |
| Matt: | I mean they missed one. |
| Chris: | Pretty big. |
| Dan: | What did they miss? |
| Matt: | There was one episode they had a thing about Trump dying. |
| Dan: | They also they’ve had an episode with a female president, which we haven’t had that yet. |
| Chris: | Yeah, it’ll happen. |
| Dan: | Yet. |
| Matt: | Close, they’re close. |
| Chris: | It will happen. I was reading a thread though people are like, “Oh, come on the Simpsons I can’t believe this show is still on.” Dude, it’s still hilarious. |
| Matt: | Is it? |
| Chris: | And reveling, I can’t even say that. |
| Matt: | Relevant. |
| Dan: | Relevant? |
| Chris: | Relevant, thank you. |
| Matt: | You skipped the L. |
| Dan: | I don’t watch Network TV anymore. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Rebel, rebel. |
| Dan: | I don’t really even watch TV anymore. |
| Chris: | Oh, Dan. |
| Matt: | I don’t watch regular TV. |
| Dan: | We got rid of Disney and Netflix, we still have HBO, which I’m probably going to cancel that next. |
| Chris: | You can get Disney+ which you’re going to need with a kid coming and lining up with Hulu and HBO. |
| Dan: | We’re aiming towards not letting the TV or iPads entertain her. |
| Chris: | Oh, that’s cute. |
| Dan: | That’s the aim. |
| Matt: | Chickens. |
| Mark: | Good luck. |
| Dan: | I know, that’s the aim. |
| Chris: | It’s cute. See. |
| Matt: | Yeah, putting a movie on is a wonderful thing for parents and young children. |
| Dan: | Hey, speaking of that, did you guys ever hear the Disney Frozen conspiracy? So, we’ve all heard the conspiracy theory that Walt Disney’s head was cryogenically frozen so that when they are able to- |
| Chris: | It was on the Simpsons. |
| Dan: | Recreate reanimation. |
| Chris: | Oh, I know about it. |
| Dan: | When they’re able to create reanimation, they’ll be able to reanimate Walt Disney and he’ll save the Disney franchise? So, prior to the movie Frozen coming out, you could google Walt Disney frozen and it would come up with all this information and evidence. And the theory is that they had this movie and they decided to name it Frozen so that when you googled Walt Disney or Disney and Frozen, the movie would overwhelm the search results. |
| Matt: | I do feel like I heard that somewhere. |
| Chris: | It’s true. |
| Dan: | I bet that’s 100% true. |
| Chris: | It’s 100% true. |
| Dan: | Now, whether Walt Disney’s head is frozen or not is a whole different story but I guarantee you somebody sat in a boardroom and like, “Let’s call this thing Frozen, that way the search engines are overwhelmed with our movie results and not this stupid conspiracy theory.” |
| Matt: | Well in the, what’s her name, Elsa, in that movie, she is modeled after a certain porn star. |
| Chris: | Who? |
| Matt: | Of course you ask who, I can’t remember the name. |
| Dan: | It doesn’t matter. |
| Chris: | No, but we don’t know any of their names we just … Kristen Bell. |
| Matt: | Not a real name. |
| That Booker’s is the shit. | |
| Chris: | That’s so good. |
| Dan: | This is one of the times I’m actually really happy. Oh. |
| Chris: | I told you, pond water. |
| Dan: | No, did you see there’s a floaty? |
| Matt: | Elsa- |
| Chris: | Pond water. |
| Matt: | Elsa Jean. Google it, they look very similar, it’s uncanny. |
| Dan: | All right, do we have a top 10? We can skip a week, it’s fine. |
| Mark: | Can we do another whiskey? |
| Dan: | It’s your bar. |
| Mark: | Not from- |
| Chris: | Oh, that’s crazy. |
| Mark: | What my wife tells me. |
| Dan: | She’s cute. |
| Matt: | That’s the porn star. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | That looks exactly like the chick from Frozen. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | Hey Kev. |
| Kev: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | Give us one of those if you are choosing, not the [inaudible 00:42:41]. |
| Dan: | Yes. My favorite Scotch brand. |
| Mark: | Wow. |
| Matt: | [inaudible 00:42:51] very busy. Whatever that was. |
| Dan: | Ringtone. Oh, that’d be another one. |
| Mark: | [inaudible 00:42:56] guys. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | I’ll tell you when Kevin bends over he’s balding on top. |
| Dan: | We all are. |
| Matt: | On top? |
| Mark: | I’m balding and … |
| Dan: | Yeah. That’d be another good one for top 10 things we don’t do anymore is- |
| Matt: | Grow hair. |
| Dan: | But yeah, grow hair, is buy ringtones. |
| Chris: | Oh, yeah. I used to have great ringtones, Chris, Chris, Chris, it’s phone call Chris. |
| Dan: | I had friends all text me what they wanted their ringtone to be and I would grab it off the 89.7 The River’s. |
| Chris: | Nice. |
| Dan: | Computers and use that song as their ringtone. |
| Chris: | Jen’s is the Imperial Death March for mine affectionately as it should be. |
| Dan: | My old boss, Sophia John, hers used to be the Halloween theme song. |
| Chris: | I love Sophia. |
| Dan: | I know, it was mean but- |
| Chris: | Oh, the big bill is up today for vote, huh? |
| Dan: | Oh, the big beautiful bill that’s going to do absolutely nothing but plunges further into debt? |
| Mark: | Thank you Mr. Bling hard liberal. |
| Matt: | Yeah, whatever. |
| Chris: | Did you just call yourself a Democrat? |
| Dan: | No. |
| Chris: | Can we just get back to just calling yourself a Democrat or- |
| Dan: | I didn’t call myself a Democrat. |
| Chris: | I know, can you? Would you rather be- |
| Dan: | When did I stop? |
| Matt: | Just in general. |
| Mark: | I think you should move to New York and vote for Mamdani who has won- |
| Dan: | My Mom? |
| Mark: | Mamdani. |
| Dan: | Oh, what you guys are not hearing, which is again part of the political issue with this country is that I’m a fiscal conservative. I would prefer to cut all- |
| Mark: | He’s a cheap ass. |
| Dan: | Yeah. Cut a little bit of the military budget, which would save us trillions. Cut federal spending. Cut welfare. Cut- |
| Matt: | The cheese. |
| Dan: | All this shit, just cut it. It’s great. It worked to get us out of the Great Depression. |
| Matt: | Cut it out. |
| Dan: | And it hasn’t worked since, it just keeps plunging us further into debt. |
| Chris: | Both sides do it. |
| Dan: | And his giant big beautiful bill, which I was hopeful for was supposed to be cutting billions of dollars out of the debt is down to a couple hundred million, which is nothing. |
| Matt: | It’s not much. I mean, it would be if it was in my bank account it’d be a ton. |
| Dan: | Yes. |
| Matt: | I’d be stoked. |
| Chris: | If it was in my bank account it’d be in all of our bank accounts because that’s a lot of money and everybody needs to go on vacation. |
| Matt: | Hey guys take a vacation. |
| Dan: | Speaking of- |
| Chris: | What’s your debt? Not anymore, sir. |
| Matt: | Sioux City, we’re going to Sioux City. |
| Chris: | Be in the black. |
| Dan: | Speaking of having money in your bank account, did you see Jeff Bezos got married again? |
| Chris: | Did he? |
| Dan: | Do you suppose that he had his wedding registry on Amazon.com? |
| Matt: | Probably Target. |
| Dan: | If he wants some free strollers. |
| Matt: | He’s got five strollers now. |
| Chris: | Is it a real person? |
| Dan: | She doesn’t look very real. |
| Matt: | He married a robot. |
| Mark: | She looks good. |
| Dan: | I have a strong disdain for plastic surgery. |
| Chris: | I do too, dude. I can’t, it’s a turn-off. |
| Dan: | And she has absolutely gone under the knife about 38 times. |
| Chris: | It’s a turn-off for me. |
| Dan: | It’s horrible. To me, I mean, even like Jennifer Aniston. |
| Chris: | Especially fake breasts. |
| Dan: | Sarah swears up and down Jennifer Aniston has not had any work, she has had her upper lip fixed. |
| Matt: | She looks almost exactly like his ex-wife. |
| Dan: | He probably paid to have her look like that. Look at her face. I mean- |
| Matt: | I mean, she’s good-looking, she’s definitely had some work done. |
| Chris: | She’s AI. |
| Matt: | Chick’s 55. |
| Dan: | Yeah, doesn’t look at day over 12. |
| Matt: | Whoa. |
| Dan: | Because her plastic surgery is only 10 years old. |
| Chris: | Can I see? Let me see since you got her photo up. |
Glenmorangie – Nectar D’Or
| Dan: | All right, Mark. Glenmorangie. |
| Chris: | You mark that. |
| No, seriously. | |
| Mark: | Nectar d’Or, this is Glenmo’s Sauternes-finished whiskey. It’s part of their wooded series, which means there’s no age statement. It’s really good. |
| Dan: | I had a little sippy sip, it is. |
| Matt: | It’s decent. |
| Dan: | This is a good line-up today. If you’re wanting to add five solid bourbons to your collection today, Glenmorangie. |
| Matt: | Well, three scotches, two bourbons. |
| Chris: | That’s what you guys, that should be the one- |
| Dan: | Did I say bourbon? |
| Matt: | You said five solid bourbons. |
| Chris: | The Library Pub has never done specials, they don’t do specials, they come in and drink because everything is special, right? |
| Mark: | Yes. |
| Chris: | That’s the tagline. |
| Dan: | Start again. |
| Chris: | Since we don’t do any specials at the Library Pub because everything is special. |
| Mark: | We White men? |
| Dan: | Hey, he helps you bring stuff in. |
| Chris: | Well, I’m throwing out, I’m a business advisor I’m advising you on something that would be a good idea. You don’t have to accept it or not. |
| Dan: | And he takes pride and ownership into the success of this bar. He doesn’t have to pay the bills- |
| Chris: | What if you did a special on the whiskies that we do on the podcast on a weekly basis? Changes weekly. |
| Dan: | How do you mean special? |
| Chris: | A special, I don’t know. Let’s do a flight of these that we just did. We just did really good whiskies, what’s a flight of this? What’s the podcast flight for the week? |
| Dan: | Are you talking price discount or just that it would be featured? |
| Chris: | Featured, discount, whatever. Some of these bottles we’ve sat on for a decade. |
| Matt: | I’ve not sat on any of these bottles. |
| Chris: | You know what I’m saying? |
| Dan: | All right, so what if- |
| Mark: | Every time he says we, I cringe. |
| Chris: | I’m sorry. |
| Dan: | Okay. |
| Matt: | You? |
| Mark: | Thank you. |
| Matt: | You? |
| Chris: | I’m just throwing it out there, it’d be really cool. |
| Dan: | You could do just a one ounce pour of each one of them for a- |
| Chris: | Yeah, you listen to the episode and you come in. |
| Dan: | Yeah. You could do a one ounce pour of each one of them. I mean, even a one ounce pour. We’ve done half ounce maybe and I’m feeling this fifth one. |
| Matt: | Yeah, these are little tiny pours I did just enough to taste. |
| Chris: | Just an idea. |
| Dan: | All right, let me throw this out there. Mark, this will be business advantageous to you and also business detrimental to you. Probably not the right words. Do the whiskey episode whatever, Library Pub whiskey episode whatever, half ounce pours for, I don’t know, set price, $25, $30, whatever. Some weeks you’re making a little bit of money, some weeks you’re maybe losing a little bit of money but people are trying these and you may end up selling extra pours. |
| Chris: | And we can tell them, “Listen to the podcast,” and we could give them a secret word that they can go to the bar. “Hey, the secret word is …” |
| Matt: | I would say this would be. |
| Chris: | Bananas. |
| Matt: | Something to talk about off microphone. |
| Dan: | Off-mic, that’d probably be a good idea. |
| Chris: | If you’ve got any ideas, send us an email. |
| Dan: | Yeah, librarypubcast@gmail.com. |
| Matt: | Yeah. And the password is fat ass. |
| Dan: | PHAT? |
| Matt: | Yeah. So, it doesn’t make any [inaudible 00:50:07]. |
| Mark: | That’s not how you spell fat, Dan. |
| Dan: | It’s how the kids spell it. |
| Chris: | It’s true. |
| Mark: | And the kids don’t know how to write cursive or write [inaudible 00:50:25]. |
| Chris: | They know how to speak though. |
| Matt: | Well, I mean PHAT has been around for quite a while. |
| Chris: | True. |
| Matt: | You had Phat Farm clothing. |
| Chris: | Yeah, there’s a band called Phat. Remember that band? |
| Dan: | Probably not. I remember the band called Phish. |
| Chris: | They’re still around. |
| Matt: | It’s spelled with a P? |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | They’re still around. |
| Dan: | Are they? |
| Chris: | They’re still around, yeah absolutely. |
| Dan: | They’re making shit loads of money. All right, we’re getting a little sidetracked and we’re an hour in. Guys, anything else? |
| Matt: | I don’t think so. |
| Dan: | Any Whiskey Wednesday? Kev, what’s some tap takeovers coming? |
| Kev: | [inaudible 00:50:51]. |
| Dan: | Pending some tap takeovers we’ll be making that announcement. |
| Matt: | T-B-A. |
| Dan: | T-B-A. Whiskey Wednesday still being worked on also. You know what? Just get out to Library Pub. |
| Chris: | And the password for today’s show is whosehead. |
| Dan: | Whosehead. |
| Matt: | Hogshead. |
| Chris: | Whosehead. |
| Matt: | Hogshead, it’s hogshead. |
| Dan: | It’s both, hogshead and whosehead. |
| Chris: | Whosehead. |
| Matt: | Whosehead? |
| Chris: | If I’m going to be an idiot, whosehead. |
| Dan: | Boy, can you believe what Chris said? |
| Matt: | Whosehead? |
| Dan: | Whosehead? |
| Matt: | Ooh, my head. |
| Chris: | Say bye. |
| Matt: | Bye, Matt. |
