Podcast Transcription
| Dan: | Episode 234 of The Library Pubcast, being recorded, where at? |
| Mark: | At The Library Pub. |
| Dan: | Right, I just said that. What’s the address? |
| Mark: | Oh, 5142 North 90. |
| Dan: | Ah, come on. |
| Matt: | One block south of Fort Street. |
| Dan: | Is he still doing this? |
| Mark: | What? I wasn’t even listening to you. |
| Dan: | I know. That’s why I called you in. |
| Mark: | Yeah. Cool. What’s up? |
| Dan: | Yeah, he gave the physical address. |
| Mark: | Yeah. So? |
| Dan: | 90th and fort, one block south. |
| Mark: | One block south. |
| Matt: | Yeah. Still can’t read that. |
| Dan: | Were those Moe’s? |
| Mark: | When did you get those? |
| Matt: | They’re mine. These are Mark’s. |
| Dan: | Oh. Matt, put glasses on, because one of the bottles that we’re going to be trying today has gold lettering with no background. It’s just right into the nice brown gold bottle. Liquid, excuse me. 90th and Fort is the correct answer. We were looking for, sir. Weekends- |
| Mark: | Or just north of 90th and Maple. |
| Dan: | I would not call that just north. |
| Matt: | Look to your left. |
| Dan: | Arby’s is just north of 90th and Maple. Not even that. |
| Matt: | It is. |
| Dan: | Gin and Jenny’s. Jerry and Jenny’s? |
| Mark: | Jim. |
| Dan: | He’s back out of it again. This is like Miller over here. How you doing? |
| Mark: | Good. |
| Dan: | Jim and Jenny’s? |
| Mark: | Sorry. What about it? |
| Dan: | Jim and Jenny’s, just north of 90th and Maple? |
| Mark: | Just north, that is, yeah. |
| Dan: | Yeah. Would you consider Library Pub just north of 90th and Maple? |
| Mark: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | I would consider it just south of 90th and Maple. |
| Mark: | Well, it’s north. |
| Dan: | 90th and 4th. |
| Mark: | It’s north. |
| Dan: | It is north? |
| Mark: | It is more south. |
| Dan: | Just though? |
| Mark: | Of Fort then. |
| Matt: | I got picked on last week, because I said, slight snow. Well, south of Fort, north of Maple. |
| Dan: | Right. |
| Matt: | Yeah, so we’re in the middle there somewhere. |
| Dan: | Oh, definitely not in the middle. |
| Matt: | I’m going to punch you in the fucking face. |
| Mark: | This is the dumbest conversation ever. |
| Dan: | Weekends. Let’s start with Chris. We can tune out again. |
| Chris: | What did I do? Friday, I got home right before the Rose became hell, and everybody was and sliding around. And it was hilarious watching videos, and all the things of all the people. |
| Matt: | It was scary driving. |
| Chris: | … doing all the dumb… Yeah, I’m sure it was. That’s why you don’t drive when there’s ice, because you know what doesn’t work on ice? Four-wheel drive. |
| Mark: | Not even. It makes the car work worse. |
| Chris: | Saturday I met up with you, Dan, for a beer down at Scriptown for their 10th anniversary, which was good. A bunch of people came out for that. |
| Dan: | Not enough. |
| Chris: | Nope, not enough. |
| Dan: | And we only say that, because people were using the excuse, “Well, it’s still icy out.” |
| Mark: | No, bullshit. |
| Chris: | It was fine when I come up in the morning at 8:30. |
| Dan: | It’s a grin. Okay. |
| Matt: | There were spots. |
| Chris: | There were spots. |
| Dan: | Your side streets. |
| Matt: | And side streets. |
| Dan: | Your side street may have been bad. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Matt, you’ve been to my house. |
| Matt: | Yes. |
| Dan: | My street was just fine. |
| Matt: | You live on a fairly main street though. |
| Dan: | Because it’s a hill. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | And they hit it quite often, because they know it could get pretty treacherous. And it’s curvy, and it’s no curbs, and there’s a ditch. |
| Matt: | You kind of sound like you’re talking about a woman. |
| Dan: | That’s a good point. But yeah, Saturday morning roads were much, much better. |
| Matt: | Yeah, my side street was still pretty bad when I left, but once you got to a main street, it was fine. |
| Dan: | We definitely called out a co-worker in a group text and I feel bad, because he’s a good co-worker. I like him. He’s one of the few people I actually like at that company. |
| Chris: | He’s probably mad that I called him out. |
| Dan: | I did too, so he’s probably mad. What else? You and Howie do anything fun? |
| Chris: | No. What did we do Sunday? Sunday, I watched the Bengals win. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | They won by a lot. |
| Chris: | Did some- |
| Dan: | Did they? |
| Chris: | Yeah, they did well. |
| Matt: | Yeah, they played well. |
| Dan: | Oh, yeah. |
| Chris: | They did well. Joe [inaudible 00:03:47] was so pissed. |
| Dan: | Who’s they play? |
| Matt: | Tennessee Titans. |
| Mark: | Titans, which they should have beat them handily, so… |
| Chris: | There’s some things, there’s a path for them to get to the playoffs, but it involves them winning out, and some other teams losing, so we’ll see what happens. We’ll see what happens. Your boy might be hurt, might be hurt. |
| Dan: | We’ll get to that, unless you want to talk about it right now. |
| Chris: | No, we don’t have to talk about it. |
| Dan: | I’ve got a theory behind this |
| Chris: | Which is sit him, because they’re already clenched? |
| Dan: | If I was Andy Reid, yeah. In the next two opponents we got, I can’t remember off the top of my head, but I do remember looking at the schedule and going- |
| Chris: | He’s going to be- |
| Dan: | Those are going to be tough. |
| Chris: | He’s going to be sat anyway. He’s already clenched the playoffs. |
| Dan: | Yeah, but also, you want to be careful not to take him out of his rhythm. |
| Matt: | Because the rhythm is always going to get you. |
| Dan: | Yeah. And the offense is starting to click, but it’s more important to invest in the future. That’s why I’d sit him. |
| Matt: | When my offense clicks, I just add oil. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | And that click goes right away. |
| Dan: | It goes right away. Anything else this weekend, Christopher? |
| Chris: | Nope. Just played some Indiana Jones. |
| Dan: | Is it good? |
| Chris: | It’s all right. |
| Dan: | Did you ever play Uncharted? |
| Chris: | It’s like that, yeah. Yeah, I could see that. It’s more of like you’re following… The storyline is pretty good. It’s going to be fun. |
| Dan: | Yeah. Well, the entire time I play Uncharted, I’m like, this is basically Indiana Jones without copyright infringement. And they’ve got four games out that are just absolutely masterful, so I’m worried that Indy is not going to live up to it. |
| Chris: | I didn’t pay for it. I got it for free, so whatever. |
| Dan: | Okay. Yeah. |
| Matt: | Free games are the best games. |
| Dan: | You mean a [inaudible 00:05:28]? I don’t want the IRS coming after you. |
| Chris: | No, I pay for the subscription- |
| Dan: | You pay for a service that gets- |
| Chris: | Yes. Yeah. |
| Dan: | Okay, got it. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Paid for a service. |
| Dan: | Matt? |
| Matt: | I did that once in Mexico. |
| Dan: | Pack attack one last night? |
| Matt: | They did. They looked good, the eight and a half minutes of the game I stayed awake for. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | Yeah. Josh Jacobs needed to do better for me, but whatever. |
| Matt: | That’s fantasy league talk. |
| Chris: | It is fantasy league. |
| Dan: | There was some discussion with Noah, the Sunday night bartender, this surprise that none of the packer crew stayed for the game. And I said, I think that one of the major leaders of the Pack crew- |
| Matt: | Broke his shoulder in two places. |
| Dan: | … is on [inaudible 00:06:10]. Did he slip and fall on the icy ice? |
| Matt: | He slipped and fell on the ice, and broke his shoulder and his upper arm, Gomez. And he was alone, so he had to crawl back up the hill. And there’s all sorts of construction and going on on his street right now, so he had to crawl through mud and ice to get back home. |
| Dan: | Sleet. |
| Chris: | He had to crawl? |
| Matt: | Literally, like scoot backwards on his butt. |
| Chris: | Because it was icy? |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | But he broke his shoulder. He couldn’t get himself up? |
| Matt: | It’s icy. |
| Dan: | Oh, yeah. Could break the other one. |
| Chris: | Maybe walk through grass, and then scoot across? |
| Matt: | I don’t know what time of day it was. |
| Chris: | I would walk through grass. |
| Matt: | I know when I left Chris’s night, the grass was also pretty slippery. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | There’s also a good chance there was some alcohol involved. |
| Matt: | Nope. |
| Dan: | No? |
| Matt: | Nope. He had not been drinking. |
| Dan: | That’s why it happened. |
| Matt: | At least that’s what I was told. |
| Dan: | That’s the story to the insurance company. |
| Matt: | He just slipped, and fell, and kaboom. |
| Dan: | Went boom. |
| Matt: | Fall down, go boom. |
| Chris: | Boy, might have a new first place victor for the Library Golf Tournament next year. |
| Matt: | Yeah, we talked about that. |
| Chris: | It’s going to be tough. It’s going to be tough. |
| Matt: | … and he could still probably beat all of us with one hand- |
| Chris: | Probably. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | Probably. |
| Matt: | You can see the videos of John Daly warming up, and he’s chipping with one arm. |
| Chris: | Yeah, that’s true. He could probably do that. |
| Matt: | I’m pretty sure he could put, like Evan said, “Well, shit. If I was Gomez, I’d tee off with my pitching wedge, put that out 150, hit it again, and then I’m on the green.” And I was like, “Well, why don’t you do that then?” |
| Chris: | Right. |
| Matt: | No answer. |
| Chris: | Right. |
| Dan: | Because golf and Evan have not been good friends this year. |
| Matt: | The beginning of the year Evan was playing really well, really, really well. And then we took our trip, and he came back, and it was like he was using left-handed clubs for a right-handed golfer. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | He took a whole month off. That’s how frustrated he was. |
| Dan: | Which is surprising, because that guy was a several times a week golfer. |
| Matt: | He’s a driving force behind our Sunday golf outings. |
| Dan: | Yes, definitely. |
| Mark: | He likes to be in control. |
| Dan: | Did you hear him asking who he could talk to about suing for slipping and falling in the parking lot on Friday? |
| Mark: | Yeah, I just told him. Jim. |
| Dan: | So he’s going to get a hold of Jim? |
| Matt: | Did he slip and fall too? |
| Dan: | Apparently he went boom very hard. He said he got to his car. And just as soon as he got to his car, he slipped and fell. And then he was telling that when Hannah got here, she was nice and pulled his wipers out so they didn’t freeze to the windshield. Well, when he got up off the ground and into his car- |
| Matt: | Oh, did he grab a windshield wiper? |
| Dan: | … he didn’t want to walk around and fall again to get to the windshield wiper, so I guess he sprawled out over the windshield and grabbed it. |
| Matt: | Damn it. How did I miss that? |
| Dan: | I know. There was several times I heard stories in the last couple of weeks. I wish we had a parking lot camera. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Now, I know the reasons why we don’t. |
| Matt: | How did I miss that? I’d pay good money to see Evan do that, and fall down. |
| Chris: | Well, hopefully they’re both okay. Hopefully Gomez’ heals like- |
| Mark: | And by the way- |
| Chris: | Like rookie of the year, so he is- |
| Dan: | Extra tight. |
| Chris: | “Funky, butt loving…” That’s what he needs to- |
| Dan: | Did he just say “Funky, butt loving?” |
| Chris: | It’s just so funny, dude. I love it. I love that movie. I really do. |
| Dan: | Is this the guy from Home Alone gets stuck in the equipment cage? He’s got the big old bag of sunflower seeds and the huge… That’s what I’ve always aspired to be, that massive cheek of sunflower seeds. And he’s in that cage, screaming, and his sunflower seeds are flying. “Funky, butt loving.” Did he just… |
| Matt: | “[inaudible 00:10:03] got a big butt.” |
| Chris: | “[inaudible 00:10:06] got a big butt.” You can totally see him doing it too. That’s a great movie. |
| Dan: | What is it to release the big, hairy, stinky cheese? |
| Chris: | Yeah. Yeah. |
| Dan: | What? |
| Chris: | And then he goes on to be in American Pie. |
| Matt: | Oh, shit. That is that kid. |
| Dan: | I didn’t even realize that. Oh, my God. |
| Matt: | Wow. |
| Chris: | He’s been in a lot of things. You’d be surprised. Once you see him. He’s like, oh man, that’s the kid. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | That’s funky butt loving. |
| Matt: | That’s funky butt loving. |
| Chris: | I kind of want to go home and watch it with [inaudible 00:10:44] like right now. |
| Dan: | Angels in the Outfield too. |
| Matt: | Also? Or the second one? |
| Dan: | I saw a dub over of Angels in the Outfield on the Kansas City Chiefs doink for the division. They flew into [inaudible 00:10:59] stadium. |
| Chris: | Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. |
| Matt: | Oh, man. |
| Dan: | Mark, how was your weekend? |
| Mark: | All right. |
| Dan: | Creighton Volleyball- |
| Mark: | … lost yesterday. |
| Dan: | They lost to Penn State, but they beat- |
| Chris: | Took them five games. |
| Dan: | … the defending champions. |
| Mark: | They did. |
| Matt: | They looked really good up until they played Penn State. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Well, Penn State’s Penn State. |
| Chris: | That fourth game was from seeing highlights. The fourth match, Creighton was on point. And then that last one, they just kind of lost the mojo a little bit. |
| Dan: | They spent it all? |
| Chris: | Yep. |
| Matt: | Probably exhausted. |
| Dan: | Yeah. Nebraska also won, Nebraska Volleyball. |
| Matt: | Yep. Swept. |
| Dan: | Swept Wisconsin. Now they’re going to play Penn State, I believe. |
| Matt: | I’m not sure who they play next. Penn State would make sense. |
| Chris: | It’s night, right? |
| Mark: | No, we can’t. Louisville, Pitt, Penn State and Nebraska. And Nebraska plays Penn State. |
| Dan: | That was a long way of saying yes. |
| Mark: | I was giving you the final four. |
| Dan: | Oh, thank you. That’s a good point. If only there was a machine we could have. Well, you know what? I don’t need a machine. I’ve got Mark. He’s a machine. What else? |
| Chris: | It’s official. Huskers will open the 2025 season in Kansas City Chiefs Stadium. |
| Dan: | Hey. [inaudible 00:12:23] Huskers? |
| Mark: | Playing Cincinnati. |
| Chris: | Not the Bengals. |
| Dan: | Not the Bengals. |
| Chris: | The Bearcats. |
| Dan: | Okay. |
| Mark: | Which it was supposed to be a home game for Cincinnati. Why would you give that up? |
| Chris: | Yeah, why? Why are they even doing this? I just saw the headline. I didn’t- |
| Mark: | Maybe they make more money. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | Because it’s an away game for Nebraska the people from [inaudible 00:12:48] can drive to. |
| Dan: | Yeah, but why wouldn’t you just go to Memorial Stadium? |
| Mark: | It’s the- |
| Matt: | Because they’re not playing there. |
| Chris: | This is supposed to scheduled for a neutral site game. |
| Matt: | It’d be very disappointing to drive down to Lincoln and go, “Where the fuck is everybody?” |
| Dan: | It that the season opener, or- |
| Chris: | It might be really fun to go to that. It’s a season opener, and my tailgate, and KC for that. |
| Matt: | Could be. |
| Chris: | That actually might be- |
| Dan: | I bet the New Heights Podcast, Jason and Travis Kelsey will be there. A, it’s Chief Stadium. B, it’s Cincinnati, which is I think both of their colleges. |
| Chris: | Both of them went there. |
| Matt: | Yes. |
| Chris: | Yep. |
| Dan: | They’ll probably be there on set, on site. |
| Matt: | Or on set. |
| Dan: | By the way, if you haven’t listened to the New Heights Podcast featuring the Bill Murray interview, you will cry at least three times. |
| Matt: | From sadness? |
| Dan: | From just- |
| Matt: | Laughing? |
| Dan: | Laughing. |
| Matt: | Which their podcast is hilarious. |
| Dan: | Their podcast is funny. You add the dry humor of Bill Murray, it was masterful. Yeah. I don’t want to spoil anything, but apparently Bill likes to call the husband to the lady that played the love interest in the original Roadhouse. Every time that the original Roadhouse is on TV, calls him and tells him what channel to turn it to, because Patrick Swayze is doing some dirty things to your wife. |
| Matt: | That’s fucking funny. |
| Dan: | But the way he says it, I wish I had a friend like that in my life. |
| Mark: | And you’ve got to take the call, because it’s Bill Murray. |
| Dan: | Apparently they’re good friends, but he doesn’t say who it is. Bill doesn’t say, “Hey, it’s Bill.” |
| Matt: | And then he probably just hangs up. |
| Dan: | Yeah. He just says… The guy’s like, “Hello.” And he goes, “Hey, you should turn on TBS right now, because Patrick Swayze is railing your wife.” |
| Matt: | Wow. |
| Dan: | “And if some man did that to my wife, I wouldn’t let it go like you do.” |
| Chris: | And that chick’s pretty hot. |
| Dan: | And then he hangs up. |
| Mark: | Well, and Patrick Swayze’s dead. |
| Dan: | Maybe he got his revenge. |
| Chris: | Take that, fucker. |
| Dan: | Gave him cancer instead. |
| Chris: | Brings a whole new meaning to [inaudible 00:14:53]. |
| Dan: | Too soon? |
| Chris: | Oh, sorry. |
| Dan: | Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Anything else this weekend? |
| Mark: | Friday night was a ghost town in the bar. |
| Chris: | That’s because everybody was slip sliding away. |
| Matt: | We literally could have closed at nine o’clock. |
| Chris: | Slip sliding away. |
| Dan: | That’s a new one for Teddy. Is that Artie? |
| Matt: | That’s Teddy. |
| Mark: | No, that’s Ted. |
| Matt: | He’s all sorts of worked up. |
| Dan: | Is someone standing there? |
| Matt: | No, he’s barking at old people. |
| Dan: | No, it’s because he’s like, “Oh, hello. Hello. Oh, you’re so cute [inaudible 00:15:26].” |
| Matt: | “Hello, little dog.” |
| Dan: | “Oh, hello.” |
| Mark: | Saturday was good. Saturday was good, and Sunday was great. You worked your ass off. |
| Dan: | It was a good day. And thanks to a couple of- |
| Mark: | And the chili was really good. |
| Chris: | Oh, there was a chili cook out? |
| Dan: | No, [inaudible 00:15:44] just brought chili. There was a couple of groups that came in. You know Richard and his wife, and then an older gentleman. Always sits back here by the puppet machine, and they- |
| Matt: | Oh, Mr. Wiener. |
| Dan: | … [inaudible 00:15:57]. Yeah. That group came in. |
| Matt: | His name is Richard Wiener. |
| Chris: | I know. Dick Wiener. |
| Dan: | That’s awesome. |
| Chris: | Come on. Like come on. Who is his parents? Has he had this conversation? There is something there that needs to be talked about on the podcast. |
| Mark: | Worse than that, it’s Richard Wiener, the third. |
| Chris: | So there’s been two more before him? I mean, you’ve got to know that, right? Right? |
| Matt: | I don’t know if- |
| Dan: | Obviously, they named him after another family member, so it was a tradition thing, but the first one may not have been- |
| Chris: | I think some traditions don’t need to continue. |
| Mark: | I think I’ve told this story before, but the brother-in-law, the attorney I worked with, his last name was Mordick. |
| Dan: | Yeah. [inaudible 00:16:46] you afterwards. |
| Mark: | His first name was Tad, and he found no humor in it. Me- |
| Dan: | Why? |
| Mark: | I would [inaudible 00:16:56] that- |
| Dan: | I bet after a lifetime of it. You go through elementary and middle school, having the name, Tad Mordick. |
| Matt: | Well, it’s like being a fat kid and having your first name be Matt. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | It gets old after a while. |
| Chris: | Yep. |
| Dan: | I’m not getting it. |
| Matt: | Just because they rhyme. |
| Dan: | Oh, fat Matt? |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | I’m sorry, man. Am I bringing something up? |
| Matt: | No, I’m okay with it now, because- |
| Chris: | Tugboat James. |
| Dan: | Because the therapy has helped. |
| Chris: | I would’ve called you Tugboat James- |
| Dan: | And by therapy, I mean alcohol. |
| Chris: | And we would’ve been bestest friends. It’s like, “He’s the one kid that doesn’t make fun of me and call me Fat Matt. He calls me Tugboat James.” It’s because you can swim fast, Matt, like a tugboat, and you have power. |
| Matt: | I got called Ocean Belly. |
| Chris: | Stop, dude. You can’t. You can’t make me laugh like this, because the names that you were called are hilarious now that I am 46 years old. |
| Matt: | Yeah. Ocean Belly. |
| Dan: | Ocean Belly. Ocean Belly is not creative at all- |
| Chris: | It’s hilarious thought. |
| Dan: | … but man, does it cut deep. |
| Chris: | Because he’s a swimmer. |
| Matt: | Because I was swimmer, so I got called Ocean Belly, Fat Matt. My brother was a big fan. He had a little song that he made up called, The Matt’s a Retard Show Song. |
| Dan: | Come on, sing it. Please sing it. |
| Matt: | I don’t remember it. I blocked it out of my head. It went something like, “Matt’s a Retard Show. Welcome to The Matt’s a Retard Show.” |
| Dan: | I’ve never wanted to have your brother on the podcast more than right now. |
| Chris: | I know. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | I know. |
| Dan: | Even after you told the story, his infamous story, I was fine with him not joining us. |
| Matt: | Yeah, it’s the Matt’s a Retard Show time, and then he would just bully the hell out of me. He’d asked me who the guests are. Jabba the Hut. |
| Dan: | Dude. |
| Matt: | Yeah. Yeah, I got made fun of quite a bit when I was- |
| Dan: | I’m sorry, Matt. |
| Matt: | It’s all right. I survived. |
| Dan: | I did too. |
| Matt: | And most of those people can’t whoop me. |
| Dan: | Yeah, that helps. |
| Chris: | Or outswim him. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | It’s true, because I have an ocean belly. |
| Chris: | Let’s drink some whiskey. |
| Dan: | This is amazing. |
| Chris: | Let’s put something in that ocean belly of yours. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | You’re actually trying to bring this back around [inaudible 00:19:02] whiskey [inaudible 00:19:03]? |
| Chris: | I don’t know, it’s just funny. I feel like it was a good transition, instead of being in the middle of a conversation being like, “I want some whiskey.” |
| Dan: | My, my, the time. |
| Matt: | Oh, man. |
| Dan: | I had a good weekend. |
| Matt: | That’s good, Dan. |
| Chris: | Yeah, Dan. How was your weekend? |
| Matt: | What’d you do? |
| Dan: | We had my nephew on Friday. |
| Matt: | Like for dinner? You ate him? |
| Dan: | Yeah. He was tender, and tasty. |
| Matt: | Yummy. Delicious. |
| Dan: | A little fatty, but- |
| Matt: | Taste of Rosemary. |
| Dan: | Yeah. He’s a special case. I had many nieces and nephews over. |
| Matt: | He’s a special case? |
| Dan: | Everybody’s always a little bit different- |
| Chris: | Uncle Dan. |
| Dan: | … the way you’ve got to handle them. Like having kids, and you’ve got to handle one kid a little bit different than the other one. |
| Matt: | Some, you’ve just got to hit. |
| Dan: | Some, you’ve just got to hit. He’s getting there. So we decided when we got home Friday night, I was like, do you want to watch a movie? So I went and moved some movies around, and we found the Grinch, the Jim Carrey version. And I’m like, this is- |
| Matt: | Funny movie. |
| Dan: | This will be fine. He’ll love this. It’s holiday season. It’s the Grinch. It’s cute. |
| Matt: | It made him cry, didn’t it? |
| Dan: | He was fucking bawling, seven minutes into the movie. |
| Matt: | Seven minutes? |
| Dan: | Screaming, crying, terrified at the Grinch. |
| Matt: | Did you tell him it’s just on TV? It’s not real life. |
| Dan: | There was no talking to him at that time, so I just- |
| Matt: | What’s his name? |
| Dan: | Artemis. |
| Matt: | You should probably sing the Artemis is a Retard Show song to him. |
| Dan: | We knew that he had issues with being scared of everything. |
| Chris: | How old is he? |
| Dan: | Three. |
| Matt: | Oh, three. |
| Chris: | That makes sense. |
| Matt: | Okay. All right. I take the retard part back. |
| Dan: | It ended up working out okay, because he wanted the TV off, didn’t want to watch anything else. He laid down and went to bed. At nine o’clock he was out. |
| Matt: | God, that sounds glorious. |
| Dan: | Yeah. I worked on computers for a couple of hours and went to bed. Saturday, we drove around, went and drank some beers. And then Sunday, bartended. I think it was Saturday or Friday night, I finished the Masters of the Air, the Apple plus mini-series about the World War 2 bombers- |
| Matt: | It’s pretty good. |
| Dan: | … over Europe. |
| Matt: | It’s pretty good. |
| Dan: | It’s good. |
| Matt: | I like to watch the Masters of the Universe. |
| Dan: | Oh. |
| Matt: | With He-Man. |
| Dan: | Yeah. Yeah. |
| Matt: | And Skeletor. |
| Dan: | That was about it. It was a pretty chill weekend. Got a commission to build a gaming computer, so I’m pretty excited about that. Thanks to the holiday shipping, it’ll be here next year. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | So yeah. |
| Matt: | Sweet. |
| Dan: | That’s all I got. Kansas City Chiefs won. How did Saquon Barkley do in the running game? By the way, I’m just stalling until Matt pours. I’m not fucking around. |
| Matt: | Sorry. |
| Dan: | No, it’s fine. |
| Matt: | Sorry. |
| Dan: | It’s totally fine. I’m just- |
| Matt: | I’m a little behind. |
| Dan: | Because I am very invested, very interested in this MVP chase, because I think [inaudible 00:21:50] said last week- |
| Mark: | How do you give it to anybody but Josh Allen? |
| Dan: | Huh? |
| Mark: | How do you give it to anybody but Josh Allen. |
| Dan: | Like Chris said last week, if Saquon Barkley breaks the regular season rushing record, I think you have to give it to him. It hasn’t been broken in- |
| Chris: | I don’t know how he did. |
| Matt: | [inaudible 00:22:09] Emmett Smith? |
| Chris: | Yeah, something like that. |
| Matt: | Or is it still Walter Payton? |
| Chris: | We’d have to look. |
| Dan: | That’s the only thing. Otherwise, you’ve got to give it to Josh Allen, because again, he had a game on Sunday night, Sunday afternoon. He just fucking- |
| Matt: | He’s a stud. |
| Dan: | He embarrassed the Lions. |
| Matt: | He’s a stud |
| Mark: | And they’re good. |
| Dan: | He is. They’re really good. |
| Matt: | And like Goff, he what? Threw 500 yards, and five touchdowns, and no- |
| Dan: | No interceptions. |
| Matt: | No interceptions, no fumbles, nothing. |
| Dan: | And they were out of it. |
| Matt: | Goff [inaudible 00:22:40] had a Burrow [inaudible 00:22:41] game and lost. |
| Chris: | Burrow was pissed the sidelines. |
| Matt: | That’s how Joe Burrows played all year. He’s had amazing games, and they just can’t [inaudible 00:22:50]. |
| Chris: | It’s that win-loss, man. It’s that win, loss. |
| Mark: | The Chiefs had what? Four interceptions? |
| Matt: | Dan? |
| Chris: | Six turnovers. |
| Dan: | No. Yeah, the Chiefs’ defense caused six turnovers. |
| Mark: | Right. That’s what I mean. |
| Dan: | Yeah. I mean, come on. It was the Browns. |
| Mark: | They’re bad. Sorry, Bob. |
| Dan: | They’re bad. |
| Matt: | Yeah, they’re not a hard win. |
| Dan: | Okay, I’ll look this up. Matt, what’s our first whiskey we’re drinking? |
| Matt: | Mark? |
Tullibardine, 15-year-old
| Dan: | Mark, what’s our first whiskey we’re drinking? |
| Mark: | Tullibardine, 15-year-old. |
| Matt: | Which the first thing I saw on the label is, it is a drop of pure Highland gold. |
| Dan: | Ah. |
| Mark: | Aged 15 years in a first filled bourbon barrel [inaudible 00:23:37], drinks a little hot. |
| Matt: | 43%. |
| Mark: | It’s not that [inaudible 00:23:41] then. |
| Matt: | It’s got a really nice mid-palette. That heat goes away pretty quick. |
| Mark: | It does. Honey. |
| Chris: | Yes, Sugar? |
| Matt: | Baby cakes. |
| Mark: | Yo, baby. |
| Chris: | What’s that? I’m sorry. Just, that was funny to me. |
| Mark: | Yo, baby. |
| Dan: | This is just regular [inaudible 00:24:03] 15? |
| Mark: | Yes. |
| Dan: | No special aged in- |
| Chris: | It’s got a super candy nose. |
| Mark: | Bourbon barrels. |
| Matt: | It’s got a nice, like a kind of florally palette. |
| Dan: | It makes sense by the nose. I haven’t tried it yet that it’s aged in bourbon barrels. |
| Matt: | This brand, I think I’ve said it before, that we’ve had, I feel like Tullibardine is probably one of the better scotches out there to introduce someone that is a bourbon drinker to scotch. |
| Dan: | I like Dalmore, and I think it’s nice, but it’s a lot burnier and hotter than a typical scotch, where this is a little bit lighter and easier. |
| Matt: | It depends on which Dalmore you’re having. |
| Chris: | Yeah, I agree with that. |
| Dan: | I guess I drink a lot of the 12 year, and the sherry finish |
| Matt: | A lot of the burny is just because it’s young. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | It’s like drinking a four-year bourbon, versus drinking a 10 or 12 year scotch. |
| Dan: | Yeah. And by the way, for those of you that are new to the podcast, or just learning it. Yeah, Matt’s right. 12 years is about where scotch starts to find its way, but it’s also very cheap, so that’s the reason why it’s at a lot of steak houses. Don’t confuse that for the fact that it’s really good. 15 and 18 is when it starts to get good, for most. |
| Chris: | The complexities increase. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | 18 to 21. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Yep. |
| Dan: | Yep. Mark, what else? |
| Mark: | I like that. And considering the price, it’d be a great scotch to have at home, at 50 or 60 bucks. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | And that’s for a leader. |
| Chris: | Yeah, 60 bucks. It’s probably what you’d find it in the grocery store. 61 to 62. |
| Matt: | A liter of cola. |
| Dan: | That’s a liter bottle? |
| Chris: | Wait a second. |
| Mark: | I think it is. |
| Chris: | 750 |
| Matt: | 750 |
| Mark: | Oh, I was wrong. Sorry. |
| Dan: | I was going to say, that’s pretty odd for something like that to come in liters. |
| Mark: | Basil Hayden just started bottling in liters. And it pisses me off, because it won’t fit under the shelf. |
| Matt: | No, I like [inaudible 00:26:07]. The majority of their whiskies are nice and affordable. |
| Mark: | Now, to be honest, if I walked in here, I would not drink Tullibardine. There are way more better scotches that I would drink. |
| Matt: | More better. |
| Mark: | More better. But again, if I’m going to buy a bottle to take home, this is a good bottle to take home. |
| Chris: | Absolutely. |
| Dan: | It’s good. So it’d be good for the home collection. Well, didn’t do this on purpose, but speaking of Dalmore. |
| Matt: | Just I think the Tullibardine all the way around is just a nice scotch. |
| Dan: | Yeah, very much so. It’s a nice [inaudible 00:26:50]. |
| Matt: | We had that 44 year- |
| Mark: | More Jammy. |
| Matt: | It was amazing. |
| Dan: | 44 years? |
| Matt: | It was a 44-year Tullibardine, and I thought it was delightful. |
| Chris: | Yeah, try that with water. It changes it significantly? |
| Dan: | Oh, yeah. It calms it down. I’m not sure I like how much it calms it down though. And this, Matt, or Chris. You’re Chris. He’s Matt. |
| Chris: | I think I brought a green apple out for me. |
| Dan: | You’ve been talking about the last- |
| Mark: | Hi, I’m Mark. |
| Dan: | You are Mark, or wheels. Sound of? Yep. If you’re transitioning someone from the bourbon world to the scotch world, just give them a try. This is another one of those good ones, because it still has that kind of bourbon burn quality that a lot of the bourbonites like. |
| Chris: | It still gets your caramel. You still get those- |
| Matt: | The whiskey flavors. |
| Chris: | Yeah. The whiskey flavors. Yeah. |
| Matt: | Anything aged in wood is going to get a little bit of that vanilla. |
| Dan: | Yes, sir. |
| Chris: | Nature of the beast. |
| Matt: | Nature of the Grinch. |
| Chris: | [inaudible 00:27:52] had this one in a little while. I’m kind of excited. That’s a segue for you. |
Dalmore Cigar Malt
| Mark: | I was starting to talk, and you talk over me. Don’t Dalmore cigar malt [inaudible 00:28:06]. This is a non age statement Whiskey, aged in, and I had to look it up, because I knew it was weird shit, Matusalem Oloroso Sherry butts. Bourbon casks, and there’s one other, cabernet casks. |
| Dan: | Cabernet? |
| Chris: | It doesn’t give it the amount of time it’s stayed in those respective barrels, does it? |
| Mark: | The whole time is aged. And they age it from 10 to 15 years, and then mix them together. |
| Chris: | They blend them. |
| Mark: | Which is why they don’t put an age statement on it, because they’d have to call it a 10. |
| Chris: | I should probably know this, but I don’t. Are all the bottles of Cigar Malt pretty much the same? |
| Dan: | I believe they are. |
| Speaker 5: | Yeah. I think they are too, but I’d like- |
| Chris: | That’s hard. That would be hard for me to wrap my brain around how they- |
| Mark: | From year to year, this year the batch is all going to be the same. Two years from now, the next batch might be slightly different. |
| Dan: | But these are all distilled, and the flavor profile is meant to accentuate a cigar. |
| Mark: | Or chocolate candy. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | Chocolate |
| Dan: | Boy, that deep breath felt good. That felt good. Sometimes you just have to stop and take a nice big, deep breath. |
| Matt: | Well, if you stop breathing, you die. Which I like, Dan’s just casual, “Yeah, you do.” |
| Dan: | I cannot confirm, but it sounds legit, so I’ll go with it. |
| Matt: | It’s a rumor. |
| Mark: | Orange and plums. |
| Matt: | Which this is one of those scotches that makes my mouth dry, and makes it water. Yeah. I don’t know why cigar malts do that for me, especially the Dalmore. |
| Chris: | Like the nose is mouth-watering. Like not even taking a sip. Just like, it makes my mouth water, just sniffing it. |
| Dan: | Just sniffing. |
| Matt: | But Dalmore doesn’t put out a bad product. |
| Dan: | No. |
| Matt: | Any of them. |
| Dan: | They’re good stuff. And the story behind them is really cool. The bottles are really cool. |
| Matt: | It is. I could play the old commercial if you want that tells the Dalmore story. |
| Dan: | Oh, yeah. The old- |
| Matt: | Yeah, from- |
| Dan: | The Whiskey Wednesday story. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | I’ve still got it on my phone. |
| Dan: | Do you? I still have it in my work archives. Back in the day, we used to do fun stuff like that. |
| Matt: | That was fun, man. I really enjoyed doing those commercials and stuff. |
| Dan: | It was a good 10 minutes, that you walked in, sat down, recorded it once and then walked out. |
| Matt: | Which the guy that used to do it, Mike, he told me that there is a certain family that owns a bowling store here in town. And he said those three would come in, and it’s a grandpa, dad and a daughter. Those three would come in, and it would take them an hour and a half to two hours to record their 32nd commercial. |
| Dan: | I remember the sales rep listening to one of the proofs. And she just goes, “This is so bad. They can’t form sentences. They don’t have cadences. They don’t play well off of each other.” Sometimes they had to call in on the phone, so there’d be two of them in the studio and one of them over a [inaudible 00:31:52] phone line. Nightmare. |
| Matt: | He said it would take them upwards of two hours to record their commercial. |
| Dan: | Nightmare. |
| Matt: | And then I would come in, and I would read my script once to myself. I’d read it once out loud. He’d record it, and time it. And I might have to fix one little spot, and I was usually gone in less than 15 minutes. |
| Dan: | Yep. I just quit even sitting back there. I just dropped you off, went to my desk. Mike would call, come back, get you, take you out. |
| Matt: | Yeah, which you would probably barely have sat down by the time I was ready to go again. |
| Dan: | I hadn’t enough time for another fiver. Dalmore Cigar Malt, I think this costs right around $65, $70, maybe. |
| Chris: | It’s maybe a little bit more than that. |
| Matt: | I think it’s- |
| Dan: | You think it’s a little more than that? |
| Matt: | I think it’s probably- |
| Mark: | $150 now. |
| Dan: | No. |
| Mark: | I’m looking at for sale on my computer, and it’s $146.99. |
| Dan: | That’s a massive [inaudible 00:32:46]. |
| Chris: | Yeah, that’s about right. |
| Dan: | What? |
| Matt: | For a liquor store. |
| Dan: | When did that happen? |
| Mark: | The last two years. |
| Dan: | Now I wish I wouldn’t have drank my bottle in my collection, because I think I paid like $70 for that thing. |
| Matt: | I’ve got about that much left. |
| Mark: | The first Dalmore 25 I bought, I bought for $4.99. The last one I bought, I bought for $1,100. |
| Dan: | I think now it’s 14? |
| Chris: | No, it’s higher. |
| Matt: | It’s so good. |
| Dan: | Higher? |
| Chris: | We do have a bottle. You ready for it? |
| Mark: | No. |
| Chris: | Damn it. |
| Dan: | I know I’ve got that bottle sold. |
| Chris: | It’s Christmas presents. |
| Dan: | I’ve got that bottle sold. |
| Chris: | No, you don’t. |
| Dan: | I do. |
| Chris: | Because I’m going to go sell it right now. |
| Dan: | Good luck. |
| Chris: | I will. |
| Speaker 5: | It’s sitting right there. I see it. I see it. |
| Dan: | Cool. I’ve got it sold. |
| Mark: | Who’s buying a Dalmore 25? |
| Chris: | Who’s buying it, Dan? |
| Dan: | Goose’s Bar and Grill. |
| Chris: | Sweet. |
| Dan: | They want a small collection of high-end celebratory whiskey. |
| Matt: | That is definitely a high-end celebratory whiskey. |
| Dan: | Yeah. And I was really excited about this. I got to sell them one of the Horse Soldier Commander’s Select bottles. |
| Matt: | That’s also good. |
| Dan: | Yeah, I kind of want to try it. It’s like a $425 bottle, their cost. |
| Chris: | I do have another bottle, if you want one. |
| Dan: | Commander? All right, so that was- |
| Chris: | This one’s going to be good. |
| Dan: | … Dalmore Cigar Malt. I would love for you to get it. That way, I could try it. We can have it on the podcast. Get it. |
| Chris: | Get it. There’s literally only maybe six bottles in the state. |
| Dan: | It’s a one-time thing. I’m pretty sure this is the one that it was distilled. |
| Chris: | It’s not a one-time thing. It’s just a very, very, they don’t make a lot of it, and for this reason. |
| Dan: | Yeah. I think this was distilled with copper recycled from the World Trade Centers. Is this the one that they were talking about they were going to have released? |
| Chris: | They’re all- |
| Dan: | The bottles are forged from steel. |
| Chris: | Correct. |
| Matt: | The little name plate? |
| Chris: | No, no. |
| Dan: | No, the whole bottle. |
| Chris: | The whole bottle is. The mold is World Trade Center steel. So every bottle has touched World Trade Center steel. That’s what they say. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | So that’s kind of cool. |
| Dan: | And then in that launch party we did two years ago, they said they were going to have a- |
| Mark: | Good save. |
| Chris: | Good save. |
| Dan: | Mark almost spilled his whiskey on the laptop. Good news. You know a guy that can fix it eventually. Probably shouldn’t make jokes about that, but they were also talking about they had a special copper distill, or copper still- |
| Matt: | Still. |
| Dan: | … made from copper recycled from the World Trade Center that they were doing a special release on. And I thought that was the Commander’s Select, but I could be wrong. All right, moving on. Oh, I haven’t drank… Wait, this is the- |
| Matt: | This is this stuff. |
| Dan: | So our good friend, Baby Shark. |
| Matt: | Oh. |
| Dan: | Can we call him that now? |
| Matt: | We could. Baby Shark, do-do-do-do-do-do, Baby Shark, do-do-do-do-do-do. |
| Chris: | Nick Chubb broke his freaking foot yesterday? |
| Matt: | Who? |
| Dan: | Nick Chubb? I don’t know who that is. |
| Matt: | Probably should have lost some weight. |
| Chris: | The running back that had his knee inverted last year, and then he came back in… You know who I’m talking about. You guys remember that. You have to remember. It was one of the most gruesome… And it just happened to him twice. |
| Matt: | He did the same thing in college. Yeah. |
| Chris: | But, man. That bums me out, dude. I really like Nick Chubb, even though he’s a Brown, but that sucks, dude. That sucks. That sucks. That sucks. Anyway, sorry. Didn’t mean to- |
| Dan: | By the way, so in order to break the rushing title, Saquon Barkley had to average 120 yards a game. He got 65 last year, this weekend against the Steelers. |
| Chris: | Who do they play next? |
| Dan: | But their next two games are going to be quite a bit easier. I think he’ll get one through. |
| Chris: | Three games? Isn’t there three games left? |
| Dan: | … better. Yeah. They play the Commanders, the Cowboys and the Giants. That’s the next three games. |
| Chris: | So he probably won’t be playing for that Giants game, where if he does, he’s probably playing the first quarter. |
| Dan: | He’s playing probably enough to get the title. |
| Chris: | We’ll see where he’s at. |
| Dan: | Because if you break that single season rushing, that’s a leave him in the area. Let him play it out, but I think he’s going to go off against Cowboys. I’m predicting 285 yards. |
| Chris: | Wow. |
| Matt: | Jesus. |
| Dan: | Because the Cowboys are pitiful. |
| Mark: | They are bad. |
| Chris: | They’re pretty bad. |
| Dan: | Pitiful. |
| Chris: | Is this one mine? |
| Dan: | All right. So- |
| Matt: | Yes. |
| Dan: | Matt. |
| Chris: | Oh. |
| Matt: | This is from our friend Jeremiah. I wasn’t able to find a whole lot about this, because I think it’s from Asia. |
| Dan: | It is. I believe it was a Japanese only release, Japan only release. |
| Matt: | Because the reason I guess that, is because all the writing on the back of the box is in Asian stuff. |
| Chris: | Asian stuff. |
| Mark: | If you look at Chinese writing and then Japanese writing, would you know the difference? |
| Dan: | No. |
| Matt: | No. |
| Chris: | Absolutely. |
| Mark: | Liar. |
| Chris: | I know. I totally lied, and I could have totally said… Never mind. |
| Dan: | That’s why you just say Asian. |
| Chris: | Asian. Yeah. |
| Dan: | Like Matt did. |
| Chris: | Mandalorian stuff. That’s what they… I mean Mandarin. |
| Dan: | Mandarin. |
| Matt: | It is the way. |
| Chris: | It’s the way. |
| Dan: | I have spoken. You know the number of times I do that to Sarah, and get away with it? Is zero. |
| Matt: | Is zero. |
| Chris: | Is zero, yeah. Yeah. |
| Matt: | All right. This is their straight bourbon by the Kirin Brewery Company. |
| Dan: | They make a beer. |
| Matt: | Distilled by Four Roses. It’s an 86 proof non-age statement. Mash bills undisclosed. They don’t tell you shit about this thing. |
| Chris: | There’s got to be some Rye in that malt. |
| Dan: | Has to be. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | This is one of two products from Four Roses- |
| Chris: | You have two bottles? |
| Matt: | … that are only sold in Japan. Which the other is the Four Roses Black Label, which seems a little racist to me. |
| Chris: | And as soon as I said rye, now I’m getting dill on the nose, only slight though. |
Four Roses Super Premium
| Dan: | So this is just titled Four Roses Super Premium. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Which just to me, seems like a European- |
| Matt: | Super Premium. Oh, now we’re talking racist. Four roses. This shit’s delicious. |
| Dan: | I am not offended by this. It’s simple. |
| Chris: | That was super easy to drink. |
| Dan: | Some of the reviews I’ve had, Jeremiah was saying that he felt like it was like a 7 of a 10. |
| Matt: | Yeah, but he’s a Barbie girl that lives in a Barbie world. |
| Dan: | By the way, if you guys haven’t noticed, so I can’t remember if it was last episode, two episodes ago. We know we’ve cracked the secret that Jeremiah drives around when he’s on his travels, three, four, five hour trips at a time, that he binge listens to the podcast. So we decided to start putting ear worms in the podcast just to mess with him. |
| Matt: | Just to be dicks. |
| Dan: | So thank you, Jeremiah. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Thank you, barbie. |
| Chris: | I’m two sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt. |
| Dan: | Another one of the guys that I talked to said that it is good for the retail market of, I think it’s like $70, $80. |
| Matt: | This said $50. |
| Dan: | Yeah, $50. |
| Matt: | On the website that I looked at. |
| Dan: | A lot of people are paying that, and they’re shipping it to the United States, and then selling it for $200 or $300, and it won’t sell. |
| Chris: | What are they called? |
| Matt: | Yen [inaudible 00:40:20]. |
| Dan: | Because it’s not worth $200 to $300. |
| Chris: | Yen. |
| Dan: | Yeah, the Yen. |
| Chris: | The Yen. I’m too sexy for this whiskey, too sexy for this… I’m trying to get an ear worm out for him, so. |
| Dan: | We decided Barbie Girl. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | Barbie girl? |
| Dan: | I’m a Barbie Girl, in a Barbie world. |
| Matt: | Hi, Ken. Hi, Barbie. |
| Dan: | Life in plastic. |
| Matt: | It’s fantastic. |
| Chris: | You guys already know more words to that song than I… |
| Mark: | I’ve never heard it. |
| Chris: | Yeah, you have. I guarantee you have. |
| Mark: | No, I’ve not watched the movie. |
| Chris: | It’s not the movie. It came out way… It came out in the nineties, that song. |
| Dan: | Oh, yeah. It was- |
| Matt: | Come on, Barbie, let’s go party. |
| Chris: | I can’t believe that actually got played on the edge. |
| Matt: | A lot. |
| Chris: | It had to be a joke. |
| Dan: | Because it was just one of those really annoying- |
| Chris: | Tub thumper? |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | They wanted to create the tub- |
| Mark: | Thumper. |
| Chris: | Thank you. |
| Matt: | Yeah. If you get knocked down, you have to get back up. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Otherwise, you just lay there and die. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | It was Barbie girl, and in Chumble the Tub Thump, and it was like it a must on the Friday night glow-in-the-dark bowling at the Red Oak Lanes. |
| Chris: | I’m trying to put myself in the music producers’ shoes in those two songs. |
| Dan: | I remember when Bill Stewart played Eminem’s 8 Mile, whatever that song is, “You get one chance.” |
| Matt: | Lose yourself? |
| Chris: | Lose yourself in the moment. |
| Dan: | Yeah. Thank you. |
| Chris: | You own it. |
| Dan: | And he got an interview from one of the TV stations. And he’s sitting in his office, and he’s giving this bullshit answer, complete bullshit answer. I talked to him about a couple of weeks. I’m like, “Why are we playing that song?” And he goes, “Because sometimes, Dan, you’ve just got to play songs that piss people off.” |
| Chris: | He’s right. |
| Dan: | And we played it for like three, four weeks maybe, and then stopped playing it. But the River has played some really off-the-wall music before, that doesn’t fit the river, but it was just good songs. Anyways. |
| Chris: | A lot of it happened on the Friday Night Buzz. I just want to throw that out. |
| Dan: | Because that was fun. |
| Matt: | Because that was your show. |
| Chris: | And it literally- |
| Dan: | All right, so thoughts on the four. Is that a screw cap? |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Oh, my God. Yeah, I didn’t realize that. |
| Matt: | It’s one of those fancy screw caps, which that’s another thing that doesn’t mean it’s good or bad, since Weller 12 has got a screw cap. CYPB has got a screw cap. |
| Dan: | I would absolutely let Jeremiah give me that bottle. |
| Matt: | I wouldn’t. I would go to his house and drink it. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
RD One
| Chris: | RED 1, or RD1. What is this one? What is this? |
| Matt: | This is RD1. This is their Kentucky straight bourbon. It is 49%, 98 proof. Their motto is, “Celebrate the firsts,” which is why it’s RD1. |
| Chris: | Oh, |
| Dan: | This is the cousin to R2D2. |
| Chris: | Got it. So yeah. No, maybe it’s his dad, because there’s a two in it. And this is a one. Yeah. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Which I have not had this yet. |
| Dan: | I’ve got to cleanse up now. |
| Matt: | This isn’t- |
| Dan: | That Four Roses is really hanging around. |
| Matt: | It’s really nice, and really super easy to drink, which we’ve got four of these RD1s in. They’re all different finishes. |
| Dan: | It’s pretty good. |
| Matt: | So this is a- |
| Chris: | [inaudible 00:43:50] or the Four Roses? |
| Speaker 5: | No, this is good. Yeah, this is all right. |
| Matt: | It’s a Hundred-percent corn, and they use a limestone well that is on site. |
| Chris: | 98 proof, aged four to seven years. I’m guessing 5.37. This doesn’t suck. |
| Dan: | What is .37 translated to months? |
| Chris: | I don’t know, like April? |
| Dan: | Around April? |
| Chris: | Like April 20th. |
| Matt: | What? That’s Hitler’s birthday. |
| Chris: | I did not know that. That is also another holidays. |
| Matt: | It’s not like a federal holiday. The other 4/20 holiday, not yet. |
| Dan: | Did I see that the legislation, or the bill got passed for legalization of medical marijuana in Nebraska? |
| Matt: | It did. |
| Dan: | But that the governor said that he’s pretty certain that it violates constitutional and federal laws? So basically [inaudible 00:45:00]. |
| Matt: | Well, of course it violates federal laws. |
| Mark: | No. |
| Dan: | No? |
| Mark: | That’s not what you heard. |
| Dan: | Oh. Would you like to expound a little bit? Or just say no? |
| Matt: | No, fuck off. |
| Mark: | No, the governor didn’t- |
| Dan: | You’re wrong. |
| Mark: | The governor didn’t say anything. It’s an ex-state senator that has a hard on for weed, who filed another lawsuit saying it can’t go into effect, because it violates federal law. Now there happens to be 42 states in the country that have some sort of legal weed, and it works there. |
| Matt: | It’s just because our people in charge of our state are dickheads. |
| Dan: | Idiots. Idiots. |
| Matt: | Just don’t want anyone to have fun or feel good. |
| Dan: | No, not in this state, because you know why? |
| Matt: | Dead babies. |
| Dan: | “Every time a person smokes a joint, a baby dies.” |
| Matt: | It’s true. I killed like 60 last month. |
| Chris: | Seriously. |
| Matt: | Got babies dropping all over the place around me. |
| Chris: | What the hell was that? |
| Dan: | I had to look back too. |
| Chris: | What is it? |
| Dan: | Imagine never stressing about shaving or waxing again. |
| Mark: | I don’t. |
| Matt: | Yeah, I don’t. I really don’t. |
| Dan: | Hey, Facebook. Do I look like a guy that stresses about shaving and waxing? |
| Matt: | Just his taint. |
| Dan: | Anyways, I was trying to find the post that I saw, because it definitely said the governor and the attorney general put out a joint statement. |
| Matt: | Yeah, well they’re dicks. |
| Dan: | [inaudible 00:46:39] RD1. |
| Chris: | It’s good. |
| Dan: | It ain’t bad. |
| Matt: | I don’t hate it for, it’s like a $60 bottle, $70 bottle. High end is what I saw. |
| Dan: | Yeah, that price? |
| Matt: | It’s pretty good. We’ll continue trying these other ones over the next couple of weeks, and see how they are, see how the others are. One of them is a maple finish. It’s a double oak with maple in one of them. |
| Chris: | It was good. It’s good. I like that one. |
| Matt: | Surprisingly good. |
| Dan: | Pretty, pretty, pretty good. |
Mary Dowling Double Oak Barrel Strength
| Chris: | Pretty good. All right. Now this bad boy. The last expression of the Mary Dowling, barrel strength. I don’t mean to preempt Mark’s taste in this, but he’s definitely going to go, “Ah! Fire! My mouth! My mouth!” |
| Dan: | Is he about to rock? |
| Chris: | His mouth is about to be on fire, but this is something that I will pour. I will have an ice cube, and it’ll be a two finger pour, and I will be buzzed after that said two finger pour. |
| Dan: | Is it pretty hot? |
| Chris: | It’s pretty hot. I mean it not hot. It’s just high ABV. I don’t… Listen, you guys know that I like Booker’s. I don’t get the heat off Booker’s. I think it’s fantastic, but there’s some heat on this. I will say that. I know it’s gold letters, but it’s on red. |
| Matt: | It is on red. It’s a little easier, which I’m trying to figure out where the- |
| Dan: | I think it’s on the back, right by those numbers. Right by those- |
| Matt: | Oh, there we go. This is 125 proof, so 62.5%. What a dumb place to put the- |
| Dan: | I know. That’s what I was… Is this Kansas? Oh, that’s here. That’s- |
| Matt: | I’m guessing that’s what’s left of Mark’s- |
| Dan: | R&D. |
| Matt: | RD. |
| Dan: | RD. |
| Matt: | R2D2. |
| Chris: | Red 1. I watched a movie Red 1 this weekend. |
| Matt: | Did you? With the Rock? |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | I thought it was good. |
| Chris: | I thought it was all right too. I had to watch it, because I wanted to see if Howie could watch it. I don’t feel like he could watch that. He’s a little bit too young for it in my opinion. |
| Matt: | There’s some scary parts in it. |
| Chris: | Well, there’s also some sexual stuff that they talk about that shouldn’t be in [inaudible 00:49:14], whatever. It’s neither here nor there. |
| Matt: | But you have to remember, it’s sexual stuff that we get. |
| Chris: | Yeah, exactly. |
| Matt: | It’s not sexual stuff that kids get. It’s like watching Disney movies. |
| Chris: | Right. |
| Dan: | I’m just not entirely sure I can get behind a movie where Santa is ripped as fuck. |
| Matt: | Dude, he’s jacked. |
| Chris: | He is jacked. |
| Dan: | JK Simmons definitely went on- |
| Chris: | And there’s a whole scene. |
| Dan: | … the Iron Man training- |
| Chris: | There’s a whole scene about him being jacked too. |
| Matt: | Yeah, when he’s- |
| Chris: | With them working out together. |
| Matt: | Him and the Rock lifting weights together. |
| Dan: | I think JK Simmons is probably one of my quiet favorite actors. |
| Matt: | Oh, I love him. |
| Chris: | Yeah, he’s great, man. |
| Matt: | I thought he was great in the old State Farm commercials. |
| Dan: | Oh, yeah. |
| Matt: | And we covered it. |
| Dan: | Him and- |
| Chris: | Spider-Man’s? |
| Dan: | Burn After Reading. |
| Chris: | Or Spider-Man’s like being… He’s the perfect- |
| Dan: | Yeah, he’s got that great old-timey voice. There’s a video game out there that I was a huge fan of for a long time, called Portal. It’s a pretty popular game. He voiced one of the head of the company that the game is based on, and he’s hilarious. |
| Chris: | Have two sips. |
| Matt: | This is definitely leaded. |
| Chris: | Yep, it’s definitely leaded. |
| Matt: | Oh, the front end’s rough. |
| Chris: | You see why? Like I said, I made it… Did you even try it? |
| Matt: | No. |
| Chris: | You’ve got to try it at least. |
| Dan: | Wow. Try it. |
| Chris: | Yeah, try it. |
| Dan: | Try it. |
| Chris: | And I do feel like it would do us some justice if we did put an ice cube in each of these. |
| Matt: | A gallon of water. Yeah, the front end’s rough. |
| Chris: | But it has a nice flavor after you get past that. |
| Matt: | Once the diesel’s gone, the flavor’s great. But yeah, this is- |
| Chris: | Do you guys understand how I would have a buzz after a two finger pour of this? That’s all I need. It’s all I need. |
| Dan: | Mark’s having hemorrhoids now. |
| Mark: | I’ve had hemorrhoids since I was in my twenties. |
| Matt: | Oh, fuck. |
| Chris: | Holy shit. What? |
| Dan: | I’d have gone and gotten those fixed. |
| Chris: | Thank you for listening. Goodbye. |
| Mark: | The fix is worse than the hemorrhoid. Most docs won’t do it anymore. |
| Dan: | What? Really? |
| Matt: | Yeah, they used to tie them off, cut them and cauterize them. |
| Dan: | What the fuck? What the are hemorrhoids? I don’t even… I don’t know what they are. I’m just going- |
| Chris: | Mark? |
| Mark: | Nevermind. |
| Chris: | You started this. |
| Matt: | They’re basically- |
| Dan: | Are they like zits on your butt hole? |
| Matt: | They’re like varicose veins around your ass. |
| Dan: | Well, that sounds great. |
| Chris: | And they get very aggravated every time you poop. |
| Matt: | Well, not every time, but sometimes. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Usually the ones that you got to push harder for. |
| Chris: | Oh, man. That sounds hellish. |
| Matt: | Don’t eat too much fiber. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | They bleed too. |
| Matt: | They can. |
| Dan: | What the fuck? |
| Matt: | Well, it’s a blood vessel. |
| Dan: | Well, this concludes the medical portion of the Library Pubcast that nobody wanted or expected. |
| Matt: | Nothing Like a little Preparation H to make you- |
| Dan: | Very dry. Is this the Mary Dowling? |
| Chris: | It is pretty dry, yeah. |
| Matt: | Yeah, it is pretty dry. |
| Dan: | If you were talking about, what was the- |
| Mark: | Okay, okay. AI is scary. |
| Dan: | Did you just get an ad for hemorrhoids? |
| Mark: | Dalmore. |
| Chris: | That’s wild, man. |
| Dan: | Sarah and I were talking about this, how- |
| Chris: | That is wild. |
| Dan: | … we’ve known for a better part of six, seven years that our phones listen to us, Facebook tracks it, and they feed us ads. It has gone from usually being a couple of days- |
| Chris: | This is MSN. |
| Dan: | [inaudible 00:52:41] ads to… Well, it’s still the same. |
| Chris: | I know. |
| Dan: | But to the point is that now it’s gone from a couple of days to minutes. |
| Chris: | Go to your Google, or go to MSN. I want to see if it pops up for you too on for your computer. |
| Dan: | I don’t go to MSN, so they don’t have a cookies history in listening. |
| Chris: | Oh, well see what Google- |
| Dan: | But if I was to refresh my Facebook, which I was trying to read this proclamation to just understand what the fuck it means- |
| Chris: | For what? |
| Dan: | [inaudible 00:53:08] the medical marijuana from the governor. |
| Mark: | You’ve all heard the story of my cruise to Alaska, right? |
| Matt: | Yes. |
| Dan: | Your cruise to Alaska? |
| Mark: | Yeah. So what I’m saying, “The boat, she’s broke.” I got a text from Miller yesterday. So while I’m saying, “… the boat, she is broke.” |
| Chris: | So they’re sitting in the Arctic circle with a broken boat? |
| Dan: | Well, they haven’t gotten off yet, right? They’re still in- |
| Mark: | No, they’ve gotten off. |
| Dan: | Okay. So for those of you that don’t remember, or haven’t listened to the episode, if you book a cruise- |
| Chris: | How pissed is Tom right now? |
| Dan: | … and it is a seven-day cruise, and the boat breaks down, you don’t get a refund. |
| Mark: | Nope. |
| Dan: | If it’s late, sorry, you don’t get to just extend for a couple of days. You’ll have a seven-day instead of a four day trip. |
| Chris: | This has to happen more. This has to happen more than they like to admit, because that’s two people that I know that this has happened to. |
| Mark: | The boat on my seven-day cruise broke night two. We sat there for three days with a fence around the boat, so you couldn’t get off. Swear to God. We were like ship of the dead. Then when they got fixed, they went out into open water, hammered the gas, and went as fast they could to Vancouver, and threw us off. |
| Chris: | Wow. Whoo. Yeah, that last whiskey. |
| Dan: | That was warm. That Mary Dowling has got some nice, deep burn to it. |
| Chris: | I’m warm. My armpits are sweating. |
| Matt: | Yes. |
| Chris: | Right? You too? Yeah, seriously. |
| Matt: | I’m pitting out of my shirt all of a sudden with our 200 proof whiskey we just tried, which the flavor wasn’t bad once you get past the front end. |
| Chris: | Yeah, once it burns all your taste buds- |
| Matt: | Yeah, then it tastes great. |
| Chris: | Or all your alcohol receptors in your mouth, then it tastes really good. |
| Matt: | Tastes great. |
| Chris: | Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. |
| Dan: | It’s got a [inaudible 00:55:10] flavor to it. |
| Chris: | If you guys want to get a buzz, and you don’t feel like getting that belly swell from drinking all that you need to drink to get to where you need to get, this bottle. |
| Matt: | That’s what I had yesterday, was that belly swell. |
| Chris: | Yeah, it’s just like it’s not fun, man. |
| Matt: | It was the worst. |
| Chris: | What? |
| Dan: | Can I tell a bad dad joke? |
| Matt: | Sure. |
| Chris: | Love them. Yes. Old memories. |
| Matt: | It’s not about being a bad dad, is it? |
| Dan: | Apparently, I don’t know. It is obviously probably fake, but there is a Batman sculpture that was made out of snow, and it’s beautiful. It’s a great sculpture. |
| Chris: | Love it. |
| Mark: | It is. |
| Dan: | The caption says- |
| Matt: | It’s cool. |
| Dan: | … apparently the sculpture was made out of just-ice. |
| Chris: | That’s awesome. |
| Matt: | Just-ice. |
| Dan: | Just-ice. |
| Matt: | Justice. |
| Dan: | Otherwise known as justice. |
| Matt: | That’s clever. I like it. That’s horrible. |
| Dan: | I am going to save that for the bad dad jokes at the race track. |
| Matt: | That’s horrible. |
| Dan: | Hey, did you hear about the Batman sculpture? Apparently it was made out just-ice. |
| Matt: | Just-ice. |
| Chris: | Justice. |
| Dan: | I don’t know if people are going to get it. |
| Matt: | You’ve got to say it fast. |
| Chris: | You need to see the picture. You’ve got to put a picture up on the big screen. |
| Matt: | You got to say it all as one word. |
| Dan: | We don’t have a big screen. |
| Matt: | Just-ice. |
| Dan: | We had a big screen, and then a tornado hit it. |
| Mark: | No, all you have to do is say, “Did you hear about the Batman sculpture made of snow?” |
| Chris: | There you go. |
| Matt: | It was just-ice. |
| Chris: | It was just-ice. |
| Matt: | Well, you can’t put the break in it. |
| Dan: | You can’t hit a pause? |
| Matt: | No, it’s got to be just-ice. You’ve got to say it fast, so then all the dumb people in the world would be like, “Oh, I get it now.” |
| Dan: | What are our thoughts on a Colorado bulldog winning the Heisman Trophy? |
| Chris: | I feel like he would absolutely [inaudible 00:56:56]. |
| Matt: | A Colorado bulldog? Colorado Buffalo. |
| Dan: | Thank you. I don’t [inaudible 00:57:03]. |
| Matt: | A delicious cream-based drink won the Heisman. |
| Chris: | I feel like he absolutely 100% deserved it. |
| Matt: | He was good. He’s good. He was good. I say it like he’s dead. |
| Chris: | Seeing his numbers versus Charles Woodson, that’s actually pretty impressive. Because Charles Woodson was a beast, and he continued being a beast in the NFL, which a lot of Heisman trophies, they don’t necessarily- |
| Mark: | Scott Frost. |
| Matt: | Scott Frost didn’t win a Heisman. |
| Chris: | You’re talking about [inaudible 00:57:31]. |
| Mark: | [inaudible 00:57:29], sorry. |
| Chris: | But there’s a whole list of them. There’s a whole list of them. |
| Matt: | [inaudible 00:57:32] Crouch’s problem was he was playing positions he didn’t want to play in the pros. They had him playing split-end, and tight-end, and receiver. I don’t know why- |
| Chris: | Safety. |
| Matt: | … why you wouldn’t want to have him running routes. The guy’s faster than shit. |
| Chris: | Right. Right. But yeah, he deserved it. |
| Matt: | He was good. |
| Chris: | Absolutely. |
| Matt: | He’s a good ball player. |
| Chris: | He’ll be good in the NFL. |
| Dan: | Because you’ve seen the Deadpool, Wolverine? Sorry, I’ve got to get off my phone, because now I’m sharing pictures that doesn’t make any sense to the podcast. |
| Matt: | Nope. |
| Dan: | All right. Any Whiskey Wednesdays coming up? |
| Mark: | Yes. |
| Dan: | Hey, speaking of that, I sold a bottle of Old Elk yesterday. |
| Matt: | Nice. |
| Mark: | Two. |
| Dan: | No, I sold one. |
| Mark: | Oh, no. There’s two empty ones behind me. |
| Dan: | No, I sold a bottle. |
| Matt: | Sold the bottle. |
| Mark: | I saw that. |
| Matt: | [inaudible 00:58:24]. |
| Mark: | I saw that. I do a Z tape. I know what sells. |
| Dan: | Yeah. Then why’d you say two? |
| Mark: | Because there’s two behind me. |
| Matt: | That were finished. |
| Dan: | I sold a bottle of [inaudible 00:58:36]. |
| Matt: | You sold a bottle of the store pick. |
| Dan: | [inaudible 00:58:38] Old Elk [inaudible 00:58:38]. |
| Mark: | You’re not speaking Japanese. I understand what you’re saying. |
| Dan: | But you’re arguing with me. |
| Mark: | No, I’m not. |
| Chris: | In Japanese. |
| Mark: | I am not arguing. |
| Matt: | Turning Japanese. |
| Chris: | He’s not arguing. |
| Dan: | I didn’t sell those. I didn’t sell any Old Elk by the pour yesterday. |
| Chris: | Well, maybe the night person did. |
| Dan: | There was a pretty hefty pile of bottles over there yesterday. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | It was a very brownie Saturday, Friday. |
| Mark: | We’ve been brownie all month. |
| Dan: | Have we? It’s okay. We’re a very brownie kind of a bar. |
| Matt: | I like a good brownie |
| Chris: | Hmm, brownies. |
| Dan: | They do sound good. |
| Chris: | Isn’t that what they call the little people on Willow too? |
| Matt: | Brownies? |
| Chris: | Like the… Ha, that’s hilarious. That is hilarious. |
| Dan: | There’s a picture of a Kansas City juice mug with a broken handle in the caption that says, “How do I fix this?” |
| Chris: | And then below it says, “Give it to the refs. They fix everything for you.” That’s awesome. |
| Matt: | That’s so accurate. |
| Chris: | And I love that you’re laughing about this, because you know it’s the truth. |
| Dan: | No, it’s not. It’s just funny. |
| Chris: | It’s the truth. It’s the truth. |
| Dan: | It’s just funny. |
| Chris: | You can admit that they have gotten helped out a few games because of refs. It’s okay to admit it, dude. It happened to- |
| Dan: | It’s [inaudible 01:00:04]. |
| Chris: | No, it doesn’t. No, it doesn’t. No, it doesn’t. No, it doesn’t. No, it doesn’t. No, it doesn’t. No, it doesn’t. |
| Dan: | [inaudible 01:00:11] on an MVP run, but they can’t win. |
| Matt: | Jordan Love, MVP. |
| Dan: | Jordan Love for MVP. |
| Chris: | [inaudible 01:00:16] MVP. |
| Matt: | He’s going to win the Heisman too. |
| Dan: | He could. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | It’s definitely not going to be Aaron Rogers. |
| Matt: | Joe Burrow. |
| Dan: | You guys got anything else? |
| Chris: | Another Heisman trophy. |
| Matt: | No. |
| Dan: | I’ve got nothing else. |
| Matt: | Did Joe Burrow win the Heisman? |
| Chris: | Yeah, he did. |
| Dan: | Thanks everybody for listening. |
| Matt: | I don’t know. |
| Dan: | You guys have a great week- |
| Matt: | Or don’t. |
| Dan: | … and get into The Library Pub. |
| Matt: | Whatever. |
| Dan: | … seven days a week at noon-ish, closing at 1:00 AM. |
| Matt: | Unless there’s a major ice storm. |
| Dan: | Yeah. All right, that’s going to [inaudible 01:00:44]. |
| Chris: | Okay, we’re done. |
| Dan: | Thanks everybody for listening. Bye. |
| Matt: | Bye guys. |
| Dan: | Oh, Matt, close us out. |
| Matt: | Oh, yeah. Fucking A. Bye. Happy holidays. |
