Podcast Transcription
| Dan: | Episode 231 of the Library Pubcast being recorded, 90th and Fort, on probably one of the more chilly days we’ve had of the season. |
| Matt: | Probably the coldest. |
| Dan: | I think so. I think so. |
| Matt: | I definitely wouldn’t golf. It’s pretty cold. |
| Dan: | No. |
| Matt: | Pretty cold. |
| Dan: | No, and apparently golf kind of wrapped up for a while. Maybe. |
| Matt: | I think yesterday might’ve been the last day. |
| Dan: | Yeah, because apparently we’re going to see a high of 12 on Sunday? |
| Matt: | Something like that. |
| Dan: | Or at least that’s when you guys were planning on teeing off. |
| Matt: | Mark’s rocking out. |
| Mark: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Get you some. |
| Chris: | That was good. |
| Dan: | Let’s see, weekends. Huskers had a nice trifecta of winning. |
| Chris: | Yeah, that was a good weekend. A good weekend of sports. |
| Dan: | The Nebraska Cornhuskers football team beat the Wisconsin Badgers. |
| Matt: | They did. |
| Chris: | For the first time ever. |
| Dan: | For the first time in five meetings. |
| Matt: | It’s been a while. |
| Dan: | And also became Bowl eligible for the first time in eight years. |
| Matt: | Yeah, 2016. But technically Nebraska did get invited to a bowl game in 2020. |
| Dan: | That doesn’t count. |
| Matt: | And the head coach at that time opted to say no. |
| Dan: | Because the team was terrible. |
| Matt: | Well, you take the paycheck regardless. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | He was drunk. |
| Matt: | And there was no- |
| Dan: | Oh, was that Frost? |
| Matt: | There was no good Margarita bars in whatever town they were going to be playing in. |
| Dan: | Yeah. Yeah, sure. |
| Matt: | Thank you. |
| Dan: | Then Nebraska… Oh, before the Huskers football game, the Nebraska Cornhuskers- |
| Mark: | Watch it. Watch it. |
| Dan: | … were victorious against the amazing Creighton Blue Jays. |
| Matt: | Creighton looked not good. |
| Dan: | Not good at all. |
| Mark: | They couldn’t hit a- |
| Matt: | They were struggling. |
| Mark: | They couldn’t hit a fucking shot, no. |
| Dan: | I turned on the last couple of minutes of the game, maybe the last five, and it was like Creighton just like, they were like, “All right, here we go. Let’s go for a three. Ah, we didn’t make it.” |
| Matt: | Kulkbrenner- |
| Dan: | Nebraska goes down and they foul. |
| Matt: | Kulkbrenner looked like he wasn’t sure what to do with the guy his same size. |
| Dan: | That’s good though, because when a team like Nebraska is able to expose a weakness in a team like Creighton, it should help Creighton later on in the season. |
| Mark: | Well, Nebraska’s game plan was to take what Kulkbrenner and give up three point shots. And if Creighton’s three point shots were falling, Nebraska knew they’d lose. If they weren’t falling, they knew they’d win. Well, they weren’t falling. We shot less than 20%. |
| Dan: | So Nebraska basketball won, Nebraska football won. And then later Saturday night, Nebraska volleyball beat number six. |
| Chris: | Swept them. |
| Matt: | Swept them. |
| Dan: | Wow. |
| Chris: | Swept, swept, swept, sweep, sweep, sweep. |
| Matt: | Which they were struggling that third game a little bit. |
| Dan: | Were they? |
| Matt: | Yeah, but they came back. |
| Mark: | I feel like 27 and one and 25 or 24 in a row then it really gets- |
| Matt: | It’s not like that. They lost to SMU like their- |
| Mark: | Second. |
| Matt: | … fourth game, third game, something like that. And yeah, it looked good. |
| Dan: | Man, being and Lincoln must have been a fun, must have been fun. |
| Matt: | Exhausting and drunk is what I guess it would be. |
| Dan: | I guess it was fun, fun times, fun times. |
| Chris: | How was your weekend, Dan? |
| Dan: | It was great. |
| Mark: | You actually worked. I was surprised. |
| Matt: | You worked hard. |
| Dan: | It was a good day to work. I am incredibly sore from Saturday because I decided that it was a good project to get one of the… So you remember that storm in July that rolled through, the windstorm? I had a couple of trees fall over. |
| Chris: | And you chopped all that wood. |
| Dan: | Yep. I also had the top of one of my trees in my front yard broke off and then it got stuck in the tree. So I decided it was a good weekend to get that tree, that broken branch out and that took every bit of strength that I had. And it wedged into the top part of a tree. I’m a ways up. I’m definitely mortally wounded if I fall out of that tree. |
| Matt: | Oh yeah, you’re dead. |
| Chris: | You’re up there. Where are you at? |
| Matt: | You’re dead. |
| Dan: | It’s tough to see me, but I’m shaking the branch in this video- |
| Matt: | He’s up above. |
| Dan: | … trying to get the dead branch loose out of the live branch. |
| Matt: | He’s up above where the branch that’s actually moving is. |
| Dan: | Yeah. So yeah, just fighting with that branch and trying to get that loose. My body is ungodly sore, like bending down to try to find the UV blue bottle yesterday. I had to stop and catch my breath it hurts so bad. |
| Mark: | You’ll have to forgive me for not feeling sore for how your body feels. |
| Dan: | Yeah, that’s a good point. I don’t get to complain because Mark’s got some broken ribs again. |
| Mark: | I got attacked by a toilet. |
| Dan: | They’re mean. |
| Chris: | They are. |
| Dan: | They’re mean. Was it a low flow toilet too? |
| Mark: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | They clog way too easy. You can’t poop big in those. |
| Dan: | So you slipped and fell at the house Friday night. |
| Mark: | Thursday. |
| Dan: | Thursday night. |
| Mark: | Went to grab for the grab bar and missed. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | And had, by the way, one drink at dinner. |
| Matt: | Which was confirmed by someone at dinner. |
| Dan: | Yes. Who I believed to be a trusted source. |
| Matt: | Yes. Very, very trusted. |
| Dan: | Yeah. So that’s the reason why Mark sounds a little bit… |
| Mark: | [inaudible 00:05:33] |
| Dan: | You must share that with the classroom. As I walked in, I asked Mark how he was doing and he said, I didn’t understand what you said. And I said, but you sound better. And you said, “Dan, if I could just fart, I’d be a whole lot better.” |
| Mark: | When you break the ribs and your abdomen is all bruised, you can’t fart, poop, burp, hiccup, sneeze or cough. |
| Matt: | Laugh, none of it. |
| Mark: | Oh, nothing. |
| Matt: | I was surprised you stayed here yesterday as long as you did because it’s Sunday during the day here is just a laugh a minute. |
| Mark: | Sunday during the day is the best time to come to Library Pub period. |
| Matt: | It is a fun- |
| Dan: | It sort of is kind of shitty, but yeah. |
| Matt: | It’s a fun group. Well, it depends on who’s here. |
| Dan: | That’s true. Yesterday it was terrible. |
| Matt: | You were working hard. |
| Dan: | I had fun. I love days like that. |
| Matt: | When I walked in you kind of had this wide-eyed, Matt, do you need a beer? |
| Dan: | Did I? |
| Matt: | A little bit. |
| Dan: | Oh, because I don’t feel like I ever got, I think the deepest I ever got was three orders, but it was just constantly you didn’t sit down. Didn’t sit on my phone. I didn’t read a book. |
| Matt: | Well, they weren’t like rum and cokes. They were Bloody Marys and White Russians. I mean, I watch you make a bunch of Bloody Marys and a bunch of White Russians. |
| Dan: | Yeah. So hindsight for yesterday should have pre-batched white Russians and Bloody Marys but then again- |
| Matt: | That’s the problem, you never know. You pre-batch that and then they want margaritas. |
| Dan: | Which by the way, I finally got rid of the pre-batched Green Bay shots that I made four weeks ago. |
| Matt: | Yeah, the Green Bay crew was in and Green Bay played well yesterday, so that’s good. |
| Dan: | Yeah, lots of those going around and they kept going around. I actually had to make more. |
| Matt: | Oh, fun. |
| Dan: | They had a good game against San Francisco. So anyways, my weekend was great. I had a lot of fun. Yeah. And that’s it. Chris, how was your weekend? |
| Chris: | It was good. Productive. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | I didn’t have… The Bengals lost in a very quick game against the bye week by three points. So it’s good. It’s good. That’s a good thing. |
| Matt: | They just turned the ball over again yesterday. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | About an hour ago. |
| Dan: | Oh, was that a Thursday night game? |
| Chris: | Two week, or what was that, a week ago, two weeks ago? Two weeks ago, the last time- |
| Matt: | Yeah, they had a bye week. |
| Dan: | Oh, they had a bye week, okay. |
| Matt: | It was last week. It was a narrow margin. |
| Chris: | We lost again. |
| Matt: | Only by three. It was a close game. |
| Chris: | Actually it was by two. |
| Dan: | Joe Burrow threw for 7,000 yards [inaudible 00:08:13] |
| Chris: | He was like, it was like 743 actually. |
| Matt: | He played great. |
| Chris: | There were 17 touchdowns, but they still lost. I don’t understand. The other team scored 18 touchdowns. Just don’t get it. Just don’t get it. |
| Dan: | What is more shocking? That’s actually a dumb question. My actual question is, can anybody believe that the Cowboys won against a actual, a good team? |
| Chris: | A decent team. |
| Dan: | A decent team, yeah. That poor kicker though. |
| Chris: | But man, look, that’s a very Bengal thing for them to do. That’s just more like poor Jayden Daniels, dude. |
| Dan: | If you didn’t see it- |
| Chris: | Throws an 80-yard bomb, they score a touchdown, tie up. They just need the kicker to tie it. |
| Dan: | The kicker misses it. They decided to do an onside kick. They fuck that up completely. The Cowboys guy catches the ball and runs it back to score a touchdown. |
| Chris: | That’s ridiculous. Anyway, so Friday night I didn’t really do anything. I had a really big, big kind of meeting with the new airport people. That kind of took a lot of my time and energy and mental capacity. So Friday was a whole lot of nothing, which was great. I think I watched a movie with Jen and Howie. I don’t even remember what movie it was some Christmas movie and we played a Christmas card game, whatever. |
| Saturday though. You guys ever have a list of things that you have to do and then there’s just one thing that you’re dreading, but you’re thinking it’s going to be horrible. And then you end up doing it and it’s like, oh, that really wasn’t so bad. So for me it’s anything electrical,. Like anything electrical. | |
| Matt: | I hate working on electrical stuff. |
| Chris: | Dude, it just creeps me out and I’ve never changed an outlet or turned something into a GFCI whatever. |
| Matt: | GF ground fall interrupt. |
| Chris: | Thank you. That’s GFE, whatever. |
| Matt: | GFI. |
| Dan: | GFI. |
| Chris: | Yeah, something. Whatever that’s called. |
| Matt: | Those are the one ones with the little buttons on them. |
| Chris: | Yeah, I changed it. |
| Dan: | Nice. |
| Matt: | That was pretty- |
| Chris: | I changed three of them. |
| Matt: | It’s really not that hard, is it? |
| Chris: | No, it’s not. It’s super easy. Does anybody need me to come over and do it because I’ll do it. It was super easy. |
| Matt: | I don’t. |
| Chris: | I felt super accomplished. |
| Dan: | So electrical and plumbing. |
| Chris: | Plumbing is another one. |
| Dan: | This is one of those that they’re not complicated jobs. And I don’t mean to degrade any electricians or plumbers out there, but it’s connecting point A to point B. The tricky thing for an electrician is not getting shocked. And the tricky thing for a plumber is not getting shit on them. |
| Chris: | Yeah, that’s exactly it. It’s like- |
| Dan: | Which is the reason why you pay a plumber to do anything at your house so you’re not the one that gets the shit on you. |
| Chris: | Yeah, poop on you. |
| Dan: | Well, I don’t want poop on me. |
| Chris: | Plumbing doesn’t always involve poop. |
| Dan: | No. For some reason it’s just- |
| Chris: | Sometimes it’s just water lines. |
| Dan: | Yeah, but sometimes it’s drains. |
| Matt: | Sometimes it does. Sometimes you got to rip a toilet off and- |
| Dan: | That’s when I hooked up the wire to my charger for my car, I had my buddy- |
| Matt: | To your toilet? |
| Dan: | … come over. Yeah. That way if I sit on the toilet too long, I get a nice little 220 shot. |
| Chris: | I don’t know which is worse. The potential of dying from electricity is really quick, like getting shock. And from what I understand, it hurts it’s pretty bad. It hurts, right? |
| Mark: | 110 won’t kill you. |
| Chris: | No it won’t, but it hurts. |
| Dan: | I know but it’s quick. |
| Matt: | Which it’s not super quick. |
| Chris: | Yeah, I know, but I feel like you feel it. But getting sepsis or poop diseases, I feel like that lasts a really long time and it’s just a horrible- |
| Matt: | Poop diseases. |
| Chris: | … a horrible way to go. Shock me all day. I don’t want to- |
| Matt: | I hate getting shocked. |
| Chris: | I know. Yeah. But versus like, oh hey, you ate some poop on accident because you were cleaning out a toilet and now you got seven days to go through this pain. I don’t know if there’s anything like that. |
| Dan: | It’s slow. |
| Chris: | But it’s slow. |
| Dan: | Yeah, slow and painful. |
| Matt: | Like rabies. |
| Chris: | Yeah. So I don’t know. |
| Dan: | I think if you get electrocuted just right, you get a really good chance of getting super powers. |
| Matt: | Well- |
| Chris: | That’s true. |
| Matt: | Well, 110 just hurts a lot. |
| Chris: | Just to hold some green goo. |
| Mark: | I thought though getting bit by a spider. |
| Dan: | Well, that too. |
| Chris: | That’s that too. |
| Matt: | Then you shoot electricity instead of webs. |
| Chris: | Yeah. Where else did the webs come from? |
| Dan: | That’s right. Oh, there’s the first laugh. Nope, he’s reaching for his water. Sorry, this is going to be a… Matt, how was your week? Was that it? |
| Chris: | Yeah, that’s it. Yeah. Hung Christmas lights, did all that wonderful stuff. It was a good week. |
| Dan: | Fantastic. |
| Chris: | It was good. |
| Dan: | Matt. |
| Matt: | Mine was all right except for Friday kind sucked. I was throwing up and pooping. |
| Dan: | Oh yeah, that’s right. Oh, no. |
| Matt: | Yeah. It was not good. |
| Dan: | Calling it the stomach bug. |
| Matt: | It was something stomach bug food related. I don’t know what it was. I know I was miserable. It was one of those things where you’re sweating but you’re freezing and you’re afraid to move because you’re going to going to poop- |
| Dan: | I had one of those [inaudible 00:13:07] |
| Matt: | … on yourself. Neither did I. |
| Dan: | And it honestly doesn’t matter what you have. You just want it to end. |
| Matt: | Oh yeah. Either just let me die or let’s stop with all the shenanigans. |
| Dan: | Right. It’s always amazing to me because 7up and saltine crackers stops it in its tracks for me every time. But I never remember that until six or eight hours down the road when I’m laying there- |
| Chris: | Suffering. |
| Dan: | … and I’m like, I have no more poop to shoot. |
| Matt: | Oh no. |
| Dan: | How do I stop this? And then Sarah’s like, “Just drink some 7up and here’s some saltines.” |
| Matt: | Yeah. I just didn’t want to put anything anywhere near into my stomach. |
| Dan: | Understandable. |
| Matt: | So little sips of water every now and again. |
| Dan: | We talked about Pack Attack. Had a good game. |
| Matt: | Green Bay looked really good yesterday. I golfed okay yesterday. I had a good night’s sleep. |
| Dan: | Nice. I am amazed at how bad San Francisco was yesterday. |
| Matt: | They went from one of the best teams in the league last year and they are just not that great this year. |
| Dan: | They’ve struggled this year and the injuries have hurt them, and they didn’t have Brock Purdy playing yesterday, but- |
| Matt: | Mr. Irrelevant. |
| Dan: | Yeah. I have a hard time believing that they’re that bad just because Brock Purdy wasn’t in the game. |
| Matt: | Well, they’ve been pretty banged up this year. So injuries- |
| Dan: | McCaffrey was back, wasn’t he? |
| Matt: | He was. He didn’t do much, but he was back. |
| Dan: | Yeah. Honestly, if last week’s game and this week’s game for the 49ers shows how important Brock Purdy is at offense, he needs to win MVP of the league. |
| Matt: | Well, we all know that since Patrick Mahomes is still alive, that’s not going to happen. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Which they tried to lose yesterday. |
| Dan: | They did. They did. Listen, I was convincing myself in the shower last night that- |
| Chris: | Whoa. |
| Matt: | Whoa. |
| Dan: | That’s what I call it now. |
| Matt: | Convincing myself? You can do it, like at the end of Boogie Nights when he’s like, “I’m a star.” |
| Dan: | When it comes to teams like the Carolina Panthers, that the Kansas City coaching staff and the players are all on the same page to not put anything on film. Don’t put anything special on film that next week’s team or a playoff team could go back and watch trick plays. Don’t exert yourself. Just play to the level of your competition. Win the game. Honestly, if you lose it, who cares? You’re nine and two. |
| Matt: | I’m pretty sure that’s why they just showed Taylor Swift a lot. |
| Dan: | Yeah, because that was a more entertaining part of the game. I mean, there was a 33 yard run at the end of it, which is exciting, but yeah. |
| Matt: | It’s all right. |
| Dan: | Do you want to talk about the controversy of storming a field? |
| Matt: | I know it’s expensive. |
| Dan: | Is it because they rip out the goalpost? |
| Matt: | Just storming the field I believe is a $250,000 fine for the university. |
| Dan: | See, is it? Is that actually a thing? |
| Matt: | I know LSU got fined and then they got an extra fine thrown on top of that because the fans were throwing things at the other team’s players last week or the week before. |
| Chris: | It sounds like [inaudible 00:16:28] |
| Dan: | First offense is a hundred thousand, second offense is 250,000 and there’s a maximum offense of 500,000 is- |
| Matt: | Then they just shut the school down. |
| Dan: | Which that baffles me. Like storming the field is one of those things that’s like, it’s exciting. |
| Matt: | Oh yeah. |
| Dan: | Why would you want, I guess the only reason why you would want to deter it is because you have to act like you’re trying to deter it in case somebody gets hurt. |
| Matt: | Yes. Well, back in the nineties, Nebraska beat- |
| Mark: | My mom is leaving and she just told me something, which further proves that we have morons working here. |
| Matt: | Well, I could have told you that. That’s- |
| Mark: | When she got here at 5:30 this morning to clean- |
| Matt: | Oh, that’s early. |
| Mark: | The air was on. |
| Dan: | That was me. That was me. That was not, no, that was me. It was hot as heck in here. |
| Speaker 5: | Why didn’t you turn it off? |
| Dan: | I know. I- |
| Speaker 5: | Turn it off. |
| Dan: | I forgot. |
| Matt: | Oh, you got yelled at. |
| Speaker 5: | [inaudible 00:17:33] Bye. |
| Dan: | It was hot in here yesterday. |
| Matt: | It was. |
| Dan: | And I opened up the back door and it didn’t help at all. |
| Matt: | And when you’re running around like that it’s- |
| Dan: | So finally I thought… No, I closed the back door and left the air conditioner. Yeah, that was definitely me. |
| Matt: | Yeah, when you’re running around like that, there’s a whole lot you can do other than to turn the AC on or the fan on or- |
| Dan: | Yeah. So the NCAA has to fine colleges in order to deter people from storming the field- |
| Matt: | I don’t know what this is either. |
| Dan: | … because if somebody gets hurt. All right, so- |
| Matt: | Yeah, back in the nineties we beat Colorado. I think it was when Eric Be Enemy won the Heisman Trophy, I’m not sure what year it was. They tore the goalpost down and paraded them through the streets of Lincoln. |
| Dan: | Wow. And that’s the part I don’t understand. I get you’re excited. Storm the field, celebrate, cheer, cause a big thing. Why destruct things? |
| Matt: | Because kids are dumb and half the people at the game were just twacked. |
| Dan: | Hammered. |
| Matt: | They’re just wasted. |
| Dan: | And this is before they’re even allowed to serve alcohol at the stadium. |
| Matt: | Yeah. We got a little time left. |
| Dan: | They’re pre-drunk, that pre-drunk that after a two-hour football game, three-hour football game, they’re still drunk enough to be inebriated. |
| Matt: | Well, I’m old and this is what we drank when I went down for the Colorado game this year. Two beers at the first bar, two beers at the… Oh, I’m sorry. Two beers at the second bar. At the first bar we got a fishbowl of some sort of- |
| Mark: | Jason- |
| Matt: | … mixed drink. |
| Mark: | Jason always has to get a fishbowl. |
| Matt: | Uh-huh, and a couple of beers. Second bar was two beers. The third bar was three beers and a couple of shots. Fourth bar was seven or eight pitchers of Elk Creek’s. I think those are at Darby’s. Yeah. So we were drunk and then we went to a tailgate on the way to go into the game. |
| Dan: | John [inaudible 00:19:30] one? |
| Matt: | No, we stopped at Dan Gomez’s Bank’s Tailgate and had more beers. |
| Dan: | Dan Gomez, Jason’s brother? |
| Matt: | His dad. |
| Dan: | His dad. I’ve never met him. |
| Matt: | You may know him as Papa G. |
| Dan: | I’ve never met him. |
| Matt: | I haven’t known him long enough like everyone else. So I just call him Dan. |
| Mark: | I am not calling a guy younger than I am Papa G. |
| Dan: | That’s a good call. I think that’s reasonable. I don’t think there’s anything else I wanted to talk about. Oh, we did have a celebrity death. |
| Matt: | Oh yeah, that’s right. We did. |
| Dan: | A game show host. |
| Matt: | We’ll be back in two and two. Love Connection. Chuck Woolery. |
| Dan: | Chuck Woolery. Dead at- |
| Matt: | 83 |
| Dan: | Yeah, 83. |
| Matt: | He had a good run. |
| Dan: | He had a very good run. He apparently was the original host of Wheel of Fortune, but demanded a pay raise and they said nope and hired Pat Sajak. |
| Matt: | We’ll get this little guy over here to do it. |
| Dan: | Yeah. That worked out well for Pat. |
| Matt: | He was the Love Connection guy. I think he did the Dating Game for a while. |
| Mark: | I think Chuck Woolery actually owned a production company that made those. |
| Dan: | Oh really? |
| Matt: | That’s one way to star in them. |
| Dan: | Also our favorite older comedian that passed away, Betty White is going to be on a stamp next year. |
| Matt: | Like a postage stamp? |
| Dan: | Yeah, so everybody go out and buy a forever stamp with Betty White on the- |
| Matt: | And spay and neuter your pets. |
| Dan: | And don’t forget to spare and do your pets. |
| Matt: | Yeah. Her and Bob Barker. That’s all right. |
| Dan: | It’s going to be a very busy week for Chris and I. |
| Chris: | Why? |
| Matt: | It’s a holiday week. |
| Dan: | Got to get everybody stocked up for the busiest drinking day of the year. |
| Matt: | People are panicking. |
| Dan: | Yep. |
| Matt: | That’s why we did it last week. |
| Dan: | There was something else I was wanting to talk about. Oh, do we want to tell that? |
| Chris: | Yes, tell the story. Tell the story, tell the story. |
| Matt: | The story? |
| Dan: | Well we can’t use his real name. |
| Matt: | Too late. |
| Dan: | Schmon. |
| Matt: | Schmon. |
| Chris: | Nod. |
| Matt: | Nod, old nod, Schnod. |
| Dan: | This is incredibly funny to Matt and I. I don’t know how funny it’s going to be to everybody else. |
| Chris: | Old nod. |
| Dan: | But a gentleman that is a regular at the bar came in yesterday. |
| Matt: | Now, had taken three weeks off- |
| Dan: | Correct. |
| Matt: | … from coming into the bar and drinking. |
| Dan: | Correct. |
| Matt: | Name is Nod. |
| Dan: | He dried out. |
| Matt: | He did. |
| Dan: | Chris is just going to keep rhyming with- |
| Chris: | It’s Nod. |
| Matt: | Zod. |
| Chris: | Nod. |
| Matt: | Good old Nod. |
| Dan: | Sat down at the C taps and enjoyed his first drink. And then when things started… We had the annual or the everyday pub shift where everyone kind of shifts down to the corner of the bar |
| Matt: | Pub shift?- |
| Dan: | … next to the POS machine. He joined the shift and had his second drink. |
| Matt: | And this guy can drink. |
| Dan: | He is known to have a very enduring liver. |
| Matt: | And he drinks anything. |
| Dan: | Sometimes he drinks it very quickly in several gulps and then orders another one and enjoys that one. |
| Matt: | Yes. |
| Dan: | But he sat down and had a second drink and was kind of conversing with everybody. And then I didn’t even realize it when it happened, but he walked over to the window that is right behind Mark and grabbed something and sat down. Don’t ruin it. Don’t ruin it. |
| Mark: | No, I just farted. |
| Dan: | Really? |
| Chris: | And it didn’t hurt. And it didn’t hurt. |
| Matt: | Good for you. |
| Dan: | It was just a fart though, right? |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Okay. And then he persisted to eat something. |
| Matt: | Popped it right in his mouth. Yeah. |
| Dan: | Do you want me to continue or do you want to take it? |
| Matt: | Well, he sits back down and it’s Evan sitting at the head of the bar. Don’s in the first stool at the front of the bar and I’m in the second stool. And Evan goes, “Don, what you eating?” He goes, “Well, I’m eating one of these beef jerkeys from up here. They’re not very good.” |
| Dan: | They taste like shit. |
| Matt: | And he’s, “That’s not beef jerky.” |
| Dan: | It was a build up. |
| Matt: | And he goes, “Well, yeah it is. It says Jerky right on the package.” And he goes, “Those are dog treats, dumb ass.” And if Evan’s calling someone a dumb ass you know they dumb fucked up. |
| Mark: | What makes that even funnier is Era- |
| Dan: | Yes. |
| Mark: | … and Wes- |
| Dan: | Oh yeah, because we’re not saying their true names. |
| Mark: | Kara and Chris were in here. |
| Dan: | That’s fine. |
| Matt: | Shmiller and Shmeller. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Mark: | And Carol was trying to get Chris to eat one of those dog treats. |
| Matt: | She’s going to pay this tab. |
| Dan: | She’s going to pay this tab. So this was a bet going on earlier in the morning. |
| Matt: | Which Don wasn’t even here for that part. |
| Dan: | No, not at all, which makes it even more funny. But my favorite line of the day was Don was still sitting there. |
| Matt: | Chewing it. |
| Dan: | After everybody is laughing, he’s continuing to chew it and he’s like, “God, they taste terrible.” And Hannah goes, “Why the fuck are you continuing to eat it? Spit it out.” |
| Matt: | Well, and then he looked at me and I was like, “Dude, spit it out.” Even if it was human food and it tasted bad and you’re making that face- |
| Mark: | Although Miller did look it up and there are federal regulations that all pet foods cannot be poisonous to humans. |
| Dan: | Yeah, for good reasons. |
| Matt: | Yes. They have to be human consumable because of people like Schmon, Nod, whatever the hell. |
| Chris: | Nod. Nod. |
| Dan: | Just, if you’ve been here on a Sunday, you know that two tables behind Don sits a table full of food. |
| Matt: | Oh yeah, lots of food. |
| Dan: | There was potato chips and sandwich meat and chicken wings- |
| Matt: | Desserts. |
| Dan: | … and all sorts. There was Danish rolls over there. |
| Matt: | Oh, yeah. |
| Dan: | There was a whole buffet. |
| Mark: | Like I said, Sunday at noon is the best time to come to the Library Pub. |
| Dan: | So he eats the dog treats by mistake, continues to eat them and instead of spitting them out. Finally gets convinced by the other patrons to spit it out, orders another drink to try to get the flavor out of his mouth. Then he ordered Door Dash to get something in his stomach and to get the flavor out. When the Door Dash arrived, I said, “Why didn’t you just go make yourself a sandwich?” At that time, I believe his response was [inaudible 00:25:48] |
| Matt: | Yeah, he was- |
| Dan: | He killed it. |
| Matt: | I think he might’ve been speaking Cambodian when I left. |
| Dan: | It was very close to it, at least the derivative of. He then killed his Door Dash and slept in his car, which is not encouraged. I believe you can still get DUI, right? |
| Mark: | If you have your keys with you. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | So you take your keys and you put them in the back seat. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | You have to show the inability of consent to drive. So you put your keys somewhere else where you can’t reach them. |
| Mark: | You put your keys on the driver side front tire because- |
| Dan: | Or you can leave them with the bartender. |
| Mark: | Because it’ll never look there. But yes, or the bartender. |
| Dan: | Sorry, we’re 31 minutes in. We haven’t done any drinking, but a lot has happened- |
| Matt: | Yeah, it’s been a- |
| Dan: | … so let’s move. |
| Matt: | It’s been a fun Sunday. |
| Dan: | … move on. Is this Mark’s or is it mine? |
| Speaker 6: | This is yours. |
| Chris: | Are we starting with this one first? |
| Speaker 6: | It’s already poured. |
| Dan: | All right, that’ll work. |
| Chris: | Is this good or bad that we’re starting with it? |
| Dan: | I’m not going to say either way. So this was something that has sat in my collection for a while. |
| Matt: | Oh, scary. |
| Dan: | And I have been drinking on it and I can’t decide if it’s good or not. |
| Matt: | Trying to tell what that bottle is sitting over there. I can see it. |
| Dan: | You can kind of see the top. |
| Matt: | It looks kind of like one of the Jim Beam master key bottles. |
| Dan: | This is not… Once we actually tasted you guys, give me your opinion. I’m going to look it up and get more information on it, but I want your guys’ opinion on it. I got mine on, this whiskey. |
| Matt: | Nose isn’t bad. |
| Mark: | That’s very good $24 whiskey. |
| Dan: | Chris? |
| Chris: | Yeah, it’s like whiskey water, like watered down whiskey. |
Spirit of the Apocalypse
| Dan: | Mark is spot on. It is about $29 and this is the Spirit of the Apocalypse. It’s a bourbon that was put out for the Walking Dead TV show. |
| Matt: | We have some over there. |
| Dan: | I think it’s terrible. And I’m sorry to do this to you guys, but I’m trying to get rid of it as much as possible so I brought it today. |
| Matt: | Cocktails. |
| Chris: | Yeah, it’s pretty badly. This is like when the zombie apocalypse happens and people are drinking whiskey- |
| Mark: | Well, I’ve really got to say I’m not offended by it. |
| Dan: | You’re not offended by it? |
| Mark: | I’m not. |
| Matt: | But this is like You know what’s funny. |
| Chris: | They’re going to have to cut whiskey with water, so this is what it’s going to taste like. |
| Matt: | We did this before on the podcast- |
| Dan: | I think so yeah. |
| Matt: | … a few years ago. |
| Dan: | I don’t know where this bottle came from- |
| Matt: | … and we all loved it. |
| Dan: | Did we really? |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | I don’t know where this bottle came from, but it’s been sitting in my collection. I finally opened it up the other night and drank it. It’s not bad at the beginning, but the finish to me has got a very- |
| Mark: | Non-existent- |
| Matt: | It’s very young. |
| Dan: | No, it’s like an octane. It reminds me a lot of the NASCAR 75th anniversary whiskey that kind of had that gasoline finish, which I don’t know if they meant to do that or not. |
| Matt: | It’s very young, which does it say bourbon on the label or does it say whiskey? |
| Dan: | Let me go find out. |
| Matt: | Because then that can give you an idea of kind of exactly how young it might be. |
| Dan: | Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey with an E. |
| Matt: | Probably about four years old, four years and a day. |
| Dan: | Do you want to try to read that? |
| Matt: | Nope. |
| Dan: | “With a light caramel nose and a taste of fruit with a Rob Santana and a spicy finish, this whiskey is crafted for the living, but sought out by the dead.”” |
| Matt: | With a taste of dead people. |
| Dan: | Made by the creators of the Hit TV show, the Walking Dead.” |
| Matt: | But yeah, it’s one of the best screw top whiskies or bourbons you’re probably going to find short of Weller. |
| Dan: | I’m trying to do a lot to get rid of a lot of my collection. |
| Matt: | I would say just cocktail it. Just start drink old-fashions for three drinks. |
| Dan: | Something I don’t do at home is make… Margaritas is about it. I don’t make a lot of other things, cocktails. |
| Matt: | I’ll do stuff every once in a while, but I don’t drink a lot at home. |
| Dan: | So the Spirit of the Apocalypse is the name of it. It’s available at the Library Pub and it’s honestly probably going to get drank the first couple of nights at the racetrack at Eagle because whenever I need to get rid of bottles, I just take them out there and everybody drinks it for me. |
| Chris: | Thanks Matt. |
| Matt: | Sure. |
| Dan: | Oh, shit. |
| Chris: | What? Did you just pour the Macallan in? |
| Dan: | I thought you were giving me Mark’s extra. |
| Chris: | I was. I was. |
| Matt: | Yeah. I’ve got the last two Macallans right here. |
| Dan: | I thought I just poured the Macallan into my Spirit of the Apocalypse. |
| Matt: | It’d probably make it better. What was that noise? |
| Dan: | I could make it worse. I lost track of which one’s which. God-damn it, man. |
| Matt: | Well, smell them. One will smell like scotch and- |
| Dan: | I think I got it. |
| Matt: | … and it should be the one with the least amount of drink in it. |
| Dan: | Well, I poured the two together. |
Macallan – A Night on Earth
| Chris: | A Night on Earth. |
| Dan: | They’re pretty identical size, amount wise. The color was just- |
| Matt: | No, that’s your spirits. |
| Dan: | Okay. You think this is? |
| Matt: | I do. |
| Dan: | I think this is. |
| Matt: | Because I know how much I poured into these glasses. |
| Dan: | This, by the way, it’s riveting podcast. |
| Matt: | It is. It’s good. |
| Dan: | I know. I can taste it. |
| Matt: | That’s bourbon. |
| Dan: | That is, okay. So I had it backwards. Matt knows best. I just have to remind myself of that. |
| Mark: | It’s a little hot. |
| Matt: | 43%. Oh, man, that is good. |
| Mark: | It’s good. Very fruit forward. |
| Dan: | Creamy? |
| Chris: | I’m not getting fruit on the nose. I get more of that malt- |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | … or something. |
| Matt: | Yeah, the nose is pretty malty. |
| Mark: | It is called A Night On Earth in Geraz [inaudible 00:32:05] |
| Chris: | Oh, that’s good. |
| Mark: | And it’s not expensive. |
| Matt: | Not horribly. I don’t know how easily obtainable it is. |
| Mark: | That will be the issue. |
| Matt: | Which they package it, mostly it’s come in a box, which this one is a box. |
| Chris: | Whoa. |
| Matt: | In a box. |
| Chris: | Well, if there was another box inside of that box- |
| Matt: | There’s not. It’s not a Russian doll. |
| Chris: | Dang it. |
| Matt: | But that would be cool, but yeah. |
| Chris: | Oh, it flips up like a door on a DeLorean. |
| Matt: | Going back to the future. |
| Chris: | Yes, yes. Back to a night on earth when things were very bad and the Macallan had to fix it. |
| Matt: | Save the world. |
| Chris: | Save the night, and that’s a Night on Earth. You shall not pass without this whiskey. |
| Matt: | I think this is really good. |
| Chris: | It is really good. |
| Mark: | Retails about a buck and a half. |
| Chris: | Dan’s going to be listening to this podcast and come to that part and just, “Why did I miss that?” |
| Dan: | Oh, because I was pooping. |
| Matt: | It was fast. |
| Dan: | That was a fast poop. |
| Matt: | Strong abdominal muscles. |
| Dan: | Strong. Strong like a bull. |
| Chris: | We decided this was a war on earth one night. There was a big disagreement. |
| Matt: | Well, the name of it is A Night On Earth in Geraz Geraz, or something of that nature. |
| Dan: | Oh, shit. |
| Chris: | Yeah, something bad happened and they had to fix it [inaudible 00:33:45] to it. |
| Dan: | So would this be like the War of the Worlds Tom Cruise edition where the aliens invaded? |
| Chris: | No, because this is a sci-fi |
| Matt: | I don’t believe this is. |
| Chris: | This is more of- |
| Matt: | That movie was terrible. |
| Chris: | … Dungeons and Dragons. |
| Matt: | I don’t know why because the first War of the World was great. |
| Dan: | It was a dragon story. |
| Matt: | It was great. |
| Dan: | I think it was a great movie. It was just a cop-out ending. |
| Chris: | What movie? |
| Matt: | War of the Worlds. this stuff’s good. It’s another Macallan collab. |
| Chris: | Yeah, that’s very good. And I would… I don’t know, is it 15 an ounce? I would definitely- |
| Matt: | 15 an ounce. |
| Chris: | I definitely would pay for that. That is… Do they make it every year, this is one off? |
| Matt: | This is the first time they’ve done this, I think. |
| Mark: | There’s three or four A Night on Earth. There’s A Night on Earth Scotland, A Night on Earth someplace else, and this is A Night on Earth in Spain, but they called it their gift collection, which is why it comes out in November or December. |
| Matt: | All the boxes. |
| Dan: | I think it’s good. It’s tasty. |
| Matt: | I think it’s very good. I would assume it’s a non-age statement. |
| Mark: | Yes. I’m just going to sit here and talk about Dan when we opened our phones and say bad thing about him. Then when he editing it’ll come to him being- |
| Dan: | I don’t have much bad things I can say about that guy though. You’re the boss. |
| Mark: | Well, he is bald. They never shoot at work. |
| Dan: | That’s true. |
| Matt: | I think it’s a 50/50 here for work. |
| Dan: | Apparently I’m a popular person today. |
| Matt: | Good for you, which I just want to be popular with this bottle of Macallan. |
| Dan: | Oh, right. That’s good. |
| Matt: | I think it’s fantastic. |
| Chris: | Yeah, it’s great. |
| Dan: | What’s the price on that? I’ve probably missed it. |
| Chris: | 15 an ounce. |
| Dan: | Is the bottle readily available? |
| Mark: | No. |
| Dan: | One and done? |
| Mark: | One and done allocated and they called me, “Do you want one?” |
| Dan: | Did you ask them for a case? |
| Mark: | No, I asked them for three. |
| Dan: | I had a client do that for me with Buffalo Trace. I’d love to have, can I get a case? |
| Matt: | Sure. Yeah. No problem. |
| Dan: | I can get you a case of Buffalo Trace bourbon cream. |
| Mark: | Yes, you can. |
| Matt: | Sazerac Rye. |
| Dan: | I can even get you a case of Buffalo Trace bourbon cream shooters, airplane bottles. |
| Matt: | Does it come in little bottles? |
| Dan: | Mm-hmm. |
| Matt: | Fifties, really? I did not know that. |
| Dan: | It does. Macallan, A Night on Earth. |
| Matt: | I’m saving a little bit of that for later. |
| Dan: | Mark’s first contribution to the podcast for today. |
| Chris: | Very good. Very good. Very good. Very good. |
| Dan: | Everyone loves it. |
| Chris: | It was good. |
| Dan: | 15 an ounce available at the Library Pub. Swing out seven days a week. We open at about noon. We close at about 1:00 A.M. |
| Matt: | Give or take. |
| Dan: | Yep. We have the… Shouldn’t say that out loud. Yeah, we have things, so just swing by and do stuff, drink. |
| Matt: | We got some fancy new whiskeys in the last couple of weeks. |
| Dan: | This is a good time of the year for whiskey releases right? |
| Chris: | Mm-hmm. |
| Matt: | This bottle’s dumb. |
| Mark: | That has a big cork. |
| Chris: | And it’s really, really hard to pour. |
| Dan: | I hate those bottles. Oh, I did also decide to start drinking on my Infinity bottle. |
| Chris: | Infinity tequila or Infinity whiskey? |
| Dan: | Whiskey. I thought about bringing that out. Dude, that’s a great fucking idea. Have you mentioned that to me before? |
| Chris: | Yes. |
| Dan: | That sounds familiar. |
| Chris: | Yes. |
| Dan: | Starting a tequila Infinity bottle. I’m going to have to do that. |
| Matt: | Should probably just do Jose Cuervo products. |
| Chris: | Yes, [inaudible 00:37:34] |
| Dan: | That wouldn’t be a bad one. |
| Matt: | Like half gold, half silver. |
| Dan: | Yeah, neat. |
| Chris: | I do have some good tequila in the car. |
| Dan: | Yes, I have a- |
| Chris: | Maybe I should grab that. |
| Dan: | I’m going to mark this and then you’re going to tell me if I should say it or not. And should I mark that and delete it? |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Okay. |
| Chris: | Yeah, just because I don’t want people to email the podcast and be like, “Dude, you did fucking what with…” I get it. |
| Dan: | Listen. If anybody emailed the- |
| Chris: | Drink the bottle down to an ounce and then- |
| Dan: | I know if anybody emailed the podcast, it’d be a good thing. |
| Matt: | It’d be awesome. |
| Chris: | Yeah, that’d be cool. |
| Dan: | Actually, there’s one lady that keeps emailing. She would like the Library Pub podcast to sponsor her magic, the card game tournament. |
| Chris: | Let’s do it. Why not? |
| Matt: | I mean, we do have a couple of groups who- |
| Chris: | Why not? |
| Matt: | … come in on Friday nights. One plays Dungeons and the other one plays magic. |
| Chris: | Why not? |
| Dan: | Well, the podcast doesn’t have any money to sponsor anything. |
| Matt: | Well, and we don’t have- |
| Dan: | Now, the pub- |
| Matt: | Noe of us played magic either. |
| Chris: | Well, we do serve a bunch of excellent wizard whiskeys. |
| Matt: | It’s true. There is a lot of wizardy type stuff. |
| Chris: | We don’t know. We don’t know that this could not just make us huge. |
| Matt: | But you never know if you’re going to find- |
| Chris: | And then we get canceled. |
| Matt: | … a fourteen-sided die or something on the floor too. |
| Dan: | For those of you that happened to be tuning in to the last 10 episodes and you’re just learning this, this is the epitome of Chris, by the way. Chris finds the most random thing and just gets super intense about it. |
| Matt: | 7%. |
| Chris: | Yeah, and then everybody gets intense about it and then the thing happens. |
| Dan: | Because your excitement is just contagious. |
| Matt: | The thing- |
| Chris: | The thing happens. |
| Matt: | The thing happens. |
| Dan: | Mark, what’s the second whisky we’re trying today? |
| Mark: | I have no idea. |
| Dan: | Are we not doing another Scotch? |
Bladnoch – Vinaya
| Mark: | This is the Bladnoch. |
| Dan: | Blad, it’s a beautiful, but that would be an excellent decanter bottle. |
| Mark: | Now, the reason I have no idea, Dan, is because I found that I kept going back to the same Scotches all the time, good Dalmore and Balvenie so now- |
| Dan: | For good reason. |
| Mark: | Yeah, but now I have Matt picked the Scotch’s |
| Chris: | Bladnoch. |
| Dan: | What are we drinking? |
| Matt: | This is Bladnoch Vinaya. |
| Mark: | It is a lowland whisky. |
| Chris: | Vinaya Bladnoch. |
| Dan: | This is the cousin of Loch Ness, right? |
| Chris: | I will, I was going to say the cousin of- |
| Matt: | It’s around 50 a bottle. |
| Chris: | … Vlad the Impaler. |
| Matt: | Vlad the Impaler, which is also known as Count Dracula. |
| Chris: | Yes. |
| Mark: | No one expects the Spanish Inquisition. |
| Dan: | I watched a documentary on Vlad the Impaler. Not necessarily about his inspiration, the character that became Dracula, but him actually, him and his- |
| Matt: | He was not a nice guy. |
| Dan: | No. He impaled a lot of people. And by the way, they were alive when he impaled- |
| Matt: | Yeah. Oh, yeah. And they go from stem to stern. |
| Dan: | Yeah. God. |
| Matt: | Ouch. This is 46.7% ABV and just, I’m just going to read this right off their website. “It’s matured in a unique combination of first fill bourbon and first fill sherry casks for notes of fresh apple, sweet floral grass and hints of chocolate.” |
| Dan: | Hints of chocolate. |
| Matt: | Which the Vinaya is a Sanskrit word, meaning respect and gratitude. |
| Chris: | Check one, two. |
| Dan: | Yeah, we’re going to be ordering, well, hopefully be ordering- |
| Chris: | This is good. |
| Dan: | … some new equipment because my microphone’s doing this again and it’s the good microphone. James messaged me last week, “I think your microphones going out, man.” I’m like, “Yeah, and Keep listening. I fix it eventually.” And apparently I didn’t fix it because- |
| Chris: | You’re in a hole. |
| Matt: | That’s a different microphone than what you used last week. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | Dan, can you hear us? |
| Dan: | I hear you fine. They can’t hear me hear you though. |
| Chris: | No, you’re down that hole with Vlad. |
| Dan: | Blan knock. Oh, god. |
| Chris: | Drinking some Bladnoch. |
| Matt: | Which I actually don’t hate this. Mark, what’s special about the lowlands? |
| Mark: | There’s only three distilleries. Singleton is a low… No, Singleton Camperton. They tend to be a little more assertive. They don’t finish quite as well as a Highlander or a Speyside. But for 50 bucks for that bottle, I mean- |
| Chris: | This is a great bottle. |
| Dan: | Do I get a little peatiness? |
| Chris: | I don’t get any. |
| Mark: | No. You get a little peat in that. Lowlands, as a rule have a little bit of peat because in the lowlands there’s not a lot of trees. |
| Matt: | But yeah, it shouldn’t be much. |
| Dan: | I think this is good scotch for 50 bucks. |
| Chris: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Yeah. Oh, it’s pretty bad definitely. |
| Mark: | If it was 200…. No- |
| Dan: | Oh, no. |
| Matt: | Now those short neck bottles really suck to pour out of. |
| Dan: | They do. |
| Mark: | That is a bottle definitely made for a home collection. |
| Matt: | Yes. It looks very nice on a shelf with the big wooden cork cover and all that good stuff. But yeah, for 10 bucks a pour, I could probably drink this till I got in trouble? |
| Dan: | And that’d be a full pour. |
| Matt: | Yep. |
| Dan: | Oh, speaking of that, I don’t know why I just randomly thought about it. We cracked open our Eagle Rare Nebraska Select bottle yesterday. |
| Mark: | It’s our second one. |
| Matt: | It’s pretty good. |
| Dan: | It’s pretty good. |
| Matt: | Because I think you cracked it open for me. |
| Dan: | I did. |
| Matt: | It’s pretty good. I still think that there’s a bigger difference between the Buffalo Trace state pick and their regular than there is between the Eagle Rares, but they’re both good. |
| Dan: | Again, we’re going to decide if I’m going to be editing this out, but I had a conversation with a couple of local breweries the Johnson Brothers works with, and I’m taking full credit for this idea. The Buffalo Trace, Blanton’s and Eagle Rare barrels that came into the state for the state select bottles were just sitting in the Johnson Brothers warehouse not doing anything. And it sounds like we’re going to be giving those barrels to a couple of our local breweries, full-fledged script town and backswing to brew some special beers for us. |
| Matt: | Two out of three ain’t bad. |
| Dan: | Yeah. So I’m kind of excited about that. I brought it up to the Sazerac manager and I’m like, “Can we do this?” And he’s like, “We absolutely can. Why didn’t we ever think about this, this before?” |
| Matt: | Then you have state select beers. |
| Dan: | Yeah. Exclusive kegged beers that we could allocate out and absolutely feed into the system. |
| Matt: | Which yeah, we’ve done that with a couple different breweries around town. |
| Dan: | Did we ever around time get our beer for the barrel bourbon? Weren’t they aging that as a sell? |
| Matt: | Yes. That was the monolithic that we got. We got two and a half, I think two and a half barrels of beer out of it. |
| Dan: | Half barrels, right? |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Sixes. Chris, should I keep that in there? |
| Chris: | Sure. |
| Dan: | Okay. We’re keeping it in. |
| Matt: | Yeah, yeah. Take that. |
| Dan: | Congratulations. That- |
| Mark: | Does Johnson Brothers represent those beer companies? |
| Dan: | Yeah. Correct. |
| Mark: | Okay. |
| Dan: | That’s our three local breweries. I’m not forgetting anybody, right? |
| Chris: | Nope. |
| Matt: | I mean there’s a ton of local breweries- |
| Dan: | Yeah, but not- |
| Matt: | … but those are the three that you guys represent. |
| Dan: | I mean, you could make an argument for Toppling Goliath but they’re over in Decatur, Iowa. They’re in Iowa. |
| Matt: | They’re not good beers. |
Jack Daniel’s – Single Barrel Coy Hill
Dan:Matt?
| Matt: | Dan. |
| Dan: | What’d you bring us? |
| Matt: | Oh, this is proof Jack Daniel’s really does know what they’re doing. This is the Coy Hill. It’s their high proof single barrel. |
| Dan: | Oh, I like that, a short squatty bottle. |
| Matt: | It’s a 135.7 is where this sits, or 63.35. |
| Dan: | That has got to be a 375, 375 milliliter bottle. |
| Matt: | No. No. |
| Dan: | That’s not a 750. |
| Chris: | No, that’s a 750. |
| Dan: | That is not a 750. |
| Chris: | It is too a 750. |
| Matt: | It is really tiny. |
| Dan: | I get that it is a 750, but that’s so tiny. |
| Matt: | 700 |
| Dan: | What? |
| Matt: | It’s a 700 ml. |
| Dan: | That’s the first local- |
| Mark: | European- |
| Dan: | US- |
| Mark: | No. |
| Dan: | What, Jack Daniel’s is European? |
| Mark: | Well, it is, but in their high-end stuff, they put it all in those little square bottles and they’re all 700s for international sale. |
| Dan: | What, you said Coy Hill? |
| Matt: | Coy Hill, which Coy Hill is the barrel house that is on the highest elevation at the Jack Daniel Distillery so it gets the most variation in temperature. So this is a one and done that they put out every year, the Coy Hill batch. |
| Mark: | Now Matt, I’m going to try this without water, but I’m fairly certain I’m going to go [inaudible 00:47:26] |
| Matt: | You’ll be surprised at how it doesn’t drink this hot. |
| Chris: | Well, I got dill. |
| Dan: | Did you tell the single barrel or special reserve? |
| Matt: | This is a single barrel. |
| Chris: | Single barrel special release. |
| Matt: | Which I think it’s got a really nice fruity floral nose. |
| Mark: | So that’s not hot. |
| Dan: | Oh, that was- |
| Chris: | It’s spicy. It’s not hot. There’s spice. I’m not… |
| Dan: | Mark might’ve died. Mark might’ve died. It’s bad enough that it was just too hot for him. But then his reaction to the hotness aggravated his broken ribs. |
| Mark: | I can’t cough. |
| Matt: | I think this stuff’s fantastic. |
| Mark: | No. No way. |
| Dan: | So this is going to be a fun one for me too because I think it is going to be too hot right out of the bottle. |
| Chris: | It’s not. It’s not. It’s spicy. There’s spice, |
| Matt: | It’s- |
| Chris: | … spice in the mouth. |
| Matt: | …lots of spice, which I mean, it’s warm. |
| Chris: | Yeah, it’s definitely- |
| Matt: | It’s still 135 proof, but it’s got a really nice fruity finish. A lot of variances. It finishes a long time. Jack Daniel’s can make good stuff. It’s not all Jack Black. |
| Dan: | Yeah. There’s a lot to unpack with this, and I just want to say I don’t think this is a bad thing, but for me, to fit my palate, I would definitely cool it down a little bit. But you’re absolutely right. It has a ton of flavor and it doesn’t have the burn like a Booker’s, which you usually- |
| Matt: | See, if I didn’t know what the proof on this was, I would think it’s around a 115. |
| Dan: | That’s where I think a lot of the times- |
| Matt: | Maybe touch more. |
| Dan: | I think we should probably do some of this stuff more blind. Because I went into it predetermined that this was going to burn and it doesn’t burn as much as I’d expected it to. But I still have that preconceived notion, so I’m predetermining my opinion. |
| Matt: | That’s fair. |
| Dan: | Which is the reason why I didn’t want you guys to see the bottle of that. I can guarantee you if you guys saw that bottle it would’ve been worse. |
| Matt: | I’ve seen it. I’ve sold a ton of it. |
| Dan: | I forgot that we had it here. |
| Matt: | Since it came out a few years ago, I’ve probably sold eight or 10 of those bottles and people like it. It helps that it’s inexpensive. |
| Dan: | And we’re talking about the Spirit of the Apocalypse bottle, by the way. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | Back to the Jack Daniel’s, this is the darkest that we drank today. |
| Chris: | I know, dude. |
| Matt: | That’s the darkest I think I’ve ever seen in a Jack Daniel’s bottle. |
| Dan: | Did you say approximate aging? Is there an age statement on it at all? |
| Matt: | Non age is what I saw, is what I found. Now you dig deep enough, you can find ages or at least approximate ages on most of these things. |
| Dan: | I wonder because this is kind of a fun one where you were talking about it’s on the highest hill on the Jack Daniel’s distillery, so it’s going to get the most variation in temperature. Is this a two year? Is this a four year? |
| Matt: | Well, you figure with most of the single barrels, they’re going to be eight years or more. So I would assume this is 8, 10, 12, something like that. |
| Dan: | Wow, it’s a long time for bourbon to sit in a barrel. |
| Matt: | It’s a long time for anything to sit in a barrel. |
| Dan: | Yeah. Well, I mean in Scotland it can sit there. I’m thinking of the Angel’s Share, the amount that disappears every year. In Tennessee it’s a lot worse. |
| Matt: | Well, in the bourbon world you lose, I think it’s like 6 to 8%- |
| Dan: | It’s [inaudible 00:51:07] but- |
| Matt: | … due to evaporation. |
| Dan: | Yes. |
| Matt: | Which 6 to 8% would be around 7. |
| Dan: | I don’t know why I decided to correct you there. |
| Matt: | And with scotch, you only lose 3 to 4%, so like 2.5 to 4%. So that’s also why old bourbon gets wooded as bad as it does. |
| Chris: | So I would’ve never guessed that this was 135 at all ever. I would’ve said, if you would pour this right in front of me that it’s a warmth. |
| Matt: | I would’ve guessed one 150. |
| Chris: | I would’ve, one, guessed that this was a rye because of the spice, and I would’ve never have put it over a hundred proof, never. Would’ve been completely amazed if you- |
| Matt: | I would’ve guessed 115-ish. |
| Chris: | I would’ve said like 99. Literally, I’m not getting any burn on this at all. |
| Matt: | No, it’s very spicy, but not uncomfortably hot. |
| Dan: | 110 an ounce, damn it, Jack Daniel’s. |
| Matt: | Which it’s only like $125 bottle. |
| Dan: | Yeah. It pisses me off that they actually do really good whiskey. |
| Matt: | They do when they want to. |
| Dan: | Because I’ve spent a good portion of my life believing that Jack Daniel’s is shit and- |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | Well, gee, you’re not wrong, so don’t be sad about that portion of your life. |
| Dan: | I kind of am, although it was a good portion of my life. It was good times. It was a Wednesday. All right, so that was Jack Daniel’s single Barrel Select Reserve. |
| Matt: | Coy Hill. |
| Dan: | Coy Hill. Incredibly hard to get- |
| Matt: | It’s a tough one. |
| Dan: | … and we’ve got it here. One ounce pours? |
| Matt: | They are one ounce pours. I think it’s 10 an ounce is what we figured out on it. And this will be, again, this will be the only bottle of this we most likely, about 99% sure that we’ll ever see. |
| Dan: | Okay. All right. Listen, I just do have to, that is hot to me. |
| Chris: | What? |
| Dan: | The Jack Daniel’s is hot to me. |
| Chris: | It is not hot to me. |
| Dan: | It’s hot on my tongue, it’s hot on my throat, it’s gotten hot in my chest. |
| Chris: | So is this the difference between sweet and fruity for people? Are you getting spice or are you getting heat? |
| Dan: | I’m definitely getting the right spice also. |
| Chris: | Okay, all right. Because there is a super fine line between… We’re talking sweet and fruity so… |
| Dan: | It’s not a bad hot. Again, I like this kind of stuff because I get to play Master Blender a little bit, play around with the water and get it to where it is more comfortable for me to drink. But also it’s not bad to be uncomfortable. |
| Matt: | Well, I like to start hot because you can always bring it down. You can’t bring it up. When you’re working with an 84 proofer, you’re just kind of screwed. |
| Dan: | That’s a great point. |
| Matt: | What you got is what you got. |
| Dan: | Words of wisdom from Matt, the bartender. |
| Matt: | So 30… what’s this one? 135.7. Yeah, there’s a lot of room to play. |
| Dan: | Matt, you’re continuing on your streak to try to prove us that the big boys can actually make good stuff. |
Jim Beam – Sunshine Blend
| Matt: | Which I haven’t tried this one, so I really don’t want to include it into that because this is not an expensive bottle. This is the Jim Beam Sunshine Blend, which it’s 25 to 30 bucks a bottle. It is a blend of their regular Kentucky straight bourbon. So just their regular white label with a four-year brown rice bourbon. |
| Dan: | What? |
| Matt: | Which this is kind of their new cocktail whiskey, cocktail bourbon, which the only age statement I got was on the brown rice. So this stuff is not bad. |
| Dan: | I just kept hitting Mark. |
| Matt: | Not that Mark. Don’t hit Mark. |
| Dan: | No, not today. Not for a couple of weeks. |
| Matt: | No body shots, at least. |
| Dan: | Listen, the best thing about this whole situation is that you’re probably not going to get picked on very much. |
| Matt: | Don’t make him laugh. |
| Dan: | Is it worth it? |
| Matt: | Is it worth it? I’m probably not. I don’t hate this. This has got nice flavor. |
| Dan: | I want to try this. |
| Matt: | It’s really light. |
| Dan: | I want to try this another time after we didn’t have that Jack Daniel’s, because that Jack Daniel’s is just so carrot top like- |
| Matt: | Over the top. |
| Dan: | … fast-paced in your face. |
| Matt: | You should be dead. |
| Dan: | Well, yeah. Well, yeah. |
| Matt: | Too many steroids. |
| Dan: | Several times. And then- |
| Matt: | Bad plastic surgery. |
| Dan: | And then we just went over to a Jeff Foxworthy show, which, not bad. |
| Matt: | Yeah, I like Jeff Foxworthy. |
| Dan: | Not bad at all. Great. |
| Matt: | He’s funny for a hillbilly. |
| Dan: | Just not the same style of comedy. |
| Matt: | No, this is definitely different. But this, I get lots of cinnamon kind of baking spice up front because I thought the brown rice bourbon would be weird. Now this is kind of watery, not real viscous. Doesn’t go for very long. |
| Dan: | Yeah, it is very, you can definitely tell they added just a to touch more water. |
| Chris: | Man, it just tastes like those rays come in from the sun. It’s called sunshine. |
| Matt: | Dork. |
| Chris: | You really do get that gamma radiation taste, don’t you? |
| Dan: | Yeah. It’s like- |
| Matt: | I assume this is what the Hulk tastes like. |
| Chris: | Remember at the beginning of the podcast or- |
| Dan: | Wait, the entertainer or? |
| Matt: | Oh, I don’t know. |
| Chris: | When we were talking about- |
| Dan: | Edward Norton? |
| Matt: | Probably Ed Norton. |
| Dan: | This definitely tastes like Ed Norton. |
| Chris: | Yeah, it does. There’s a little Ed Norton in this, a little Eddie, a little Eddie Norton. |
| Matt: | A little Eddie Norton. |
| Chris: | Good old little Eddie Norton. |
| Dan: | By the way, a sidebar. I watched, I don’t know if it’s his latest movie, but it’s the latest movie I’ve seen him in called Motherless Brooklyn. |
| Matt: | Wow. |
| Chris: | Who? |
| Dan: | He plays- |
| Chris: | Edward Norton? |
| Dan: | Edward Norton, and he plays a 1930s somewhat mobster, but a private investigator employee that has Tourette’s and it’s, I loved it. |
| Chris: | Man, he’s been in some, let’s talk about some great movies. It’s like a- |
| Matt: | Tourette’s is just funny. |
| Dan: | Dude, that MTV Tourette’s documentary I have never laughed so hard for 45 minutes. I laughed through the commercials. I laughed through the credits. It’s right up there with midgets for me. If there’s a midget standing next to me, I cannot not touch it. If |
| Chris: | If they didn’t stutter or didn’t have Tourette’s, how long would the documentary be? Like 10 minutes. |
| Matt: | Wow. |
| Chris: | That’s really bad. |
| Matt: | Chad, one of my good friends in college had Tourette’s. |
| Chris: | Oh my God. |
| Matt: | And he made faces. He made noise. |
| Chris: | How many years of your life did you just sit there? |
| Matt: | Well, he didn’t stutter a whole lot. His big thing was he would make faces and stick his tongue out and make noises and he would repeat what you would say. |
| Dan: | He’s got to know not to go to a funeral, right? |
| Matt: | So you’d be like, “Hey Jeff, we’re going to head to the gym here in a little bit.” And he’d be like, “Nah, nah.” Yeah, head to the gym in a little bit.” That’s like, whoa, what the fuck was that? |
| Dan: | That’s what Ed Norton’s, and it’s even better that it’s at a time when they didn’t understand Tourette’s. So everyone was like, “What is wrong with you?” |
| Matt: | He’s possessed. |
| Dan: | Yeah. It’s a great movie. |
| Matt: | But there’s a girl that does the reels on Facebook that she does Tourette’s. She does Tourette’s. She has Tourette’s. |
| Dan: | Oh my god, she does it? |
| Matt: | They’ll show her cooking. |
| Dan: | By the way, I’m holding up my phone so that Facebook hears you talk about this and I start getting it. I guaran-fucking-tee you within a day I’ll get that Facebook reel. |
| Matt: | Oh, yeah. And she’s super cute. A little young girl. She’s probably 22 and they’ll show her cooking and she’ll be cooking and shit. Then all of a sudden she’s sprinkling shit all over the place. |
| Dan: | Full body? |
| Matt: | Oh, yeah. |
| Dan: | Oh my God. |
| Matt: | One of her things is she goes, “Wind it up, wind it up.” It’s like, what in the hell? But it’s very entertaining to watch. |
| Dan: | And it’s incredibly insensitive, but it is so fucking funny. |
| Matt: | Super insensitive. |
| Dan: | That’s a great movie to watch, by the way, Motherless Brooklyn. I also just watched a new movie out that has April from Parks and Rec. It’s called My Old Ass. |
| Matt: | Whoa. |
| Dan: | I was interested by the concept of the movie. I was absolutely it by love with it but I- |
| Matt: | Which one’s April in Parks and Rec? Is that the redhead? |
| Dan: | No, she’s the one that dated the, she dated Chris Pratt. |
| Matt: | Because I never watched Parks and Rec. |
| Dan: | Oh my God. You have- |
| Matt: | I never got into it. I couldn’t get into it. |
| Dan: | Parks and Rec- |
| Matt: | I like Chris Pratt when he is all in shape and shooting aliens. |
| Dan: | Parks and Rec tries to be The Office for the first season and a half. |
| Matt: | Not possible. |
| Dan: | Right because it’s the same writers. They were bored writing a thirty-minute sketch comedy. So they started writing a second one and they tried to make it The Office Two. After about a season and a half, it starts to find its own way and it becomes the phenomenon that it is. So get through that first season and a half or so, which is hard to do because it’s quite a few episodes. |
| Matt: | Which I never got into It’s sunny in Philadelphia either. |
| Dan: | Really? |
| Matt: | Which I’ve heard it’s hilarious. |
| Dan: | Exactly. |
| Matt: | I think Danny De Vito is great. |
| Dan: | That show is one of the only shows that I had true belly laughs at least three or four times in a season. Not just like the ha-ha-ha, that’s funny. |
| Matt: | Sound like a laugh track. |
| Dan: | It was down deep pause it and rewind and crying laugh, yeah. This My Old ass movie, so the concept is that this chick that’s about to leave her family and go to college, so it’s kind of a coming-of-age story. As a part of her coming of age, she goes off to this island with a couple of groups of her friends and eats a bunch of mushrooms. So she’s like 17. Her 39-year-old version of herself from the future- |
| Matt: | I’ve seen that movie. |
| Dan: | The preview. How did you in the preview? You actually watch the whole thing? |
| Matt: | It’s on Netflix or Prime. |
| Dan: | Yeah, Prime. |
| Matt: | Yeah. I’ve seen it and it’s pretty god-damn funny. |
| Dan: | It’s great. And April’s the 39-year-old. |
| Matt: | Who are you? |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | Yeah. |
| Dan: | It’s a great movie. But the catch of the whole thing, I really, really loved they didn’t go with the typical Hollywood storyline, the way that the hook of the whole movie or the catch of the whole movie developed, they didn’t go with the typical way of Hollywood. And I don’t want to say anything because I don’t want to ruin it for anybody, but Sarah called it from the very beginning as we were watching this movie. And then when it happened, it fit so well. I’ll talk to you about it off the podcast but the way that they did it just wasn’t the typical Hollywood way. And I love those types of movies. This is a great movie to watch. |
| Matt: | Which I also encourage anyone listening to try mushrooms. |
| Dan: | I never have- |
| Matt: | They’re fun. |
| Dan: | … because I don’t like the flavor of mushrooms. |
| Matt: | That’s fine. We can drink to that. |
| Dan: | They’ve literally just got [inaudible 01:02:55] like honey. |
| Chris: | I’m going to just drink and then just down it like pills. |
| Dan: | That’s how they did it is they were drinking out of a cup. |
| Matt: | It was fruit snacks. Yeah, they made tea. |
| Dan: | Now I’ve done animals. |
| Chris: | Tea is whoop boop boop boop boop boop. It makes you go la-la-la. |
| Dan: | Well, she saw her thirty-nine-year-old self. |
| Matt: | For a whole movie’s worth. |
| Dan: | Anyways, I think that’s it. We got anything else? |
| Matt: | I don’t think so. |
| Dan: | The new Library Pub barrel pick has arrived from Deer Hammer, $65 a bottle. |
| Chris: | Deer Hammer. |
| Matt: | It’s good. |
| Dan: | We’ve got, how many bottles did we get? This is a curiosity that I’m always- |
| Chris: | A hundred. |
| Matt: | A hundred bottles. |
| Dan: | A hundred bottles. That’s not that- |
| Matt: | Which we’ve sold a few. We’ve sold a few. 100. |
| Dan: | 100. I’ve got the number wrong. I think it was a normal barrel aged four to six years should produce somewhere like 170 to 200 bottles. |
| Matt: | Two to 220. |
| Dan: | Okay. A hundred bottles. How long has this aged? |
| Chris: | Maybe it was in a smaller cask. |
| Mark: | Well, the 30-liter- |
| Matt: | We bought half the barrel. |
| Dan: | Oh, okay. |
| Matt: | We bought half the barrel and they agreed not to sell any more in Nebraska. |
| Dan: | That’s nice of them, really nice of them. |
| Matt: | They’ve also invited anyone that wants to go out to their distilling area out in Buena Vista, Colorado, kind of by Breckenridge. |
| Dan: | I’m intrigued. |
| Matt: | I would like to go out and visit it. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Matt: | It’d be fun. It’d be a fun weekend. |
| Dan: | Charge up the Tesla, head out. |
| Matt: | I’m good with it. |
| Dan: | Cool. |
| Chris: | I’m down. |
| Dan: | Okay. Anybody else who wants to come message Library Pub- |
| Chris: | Cast. |
| Dan: | Well, I was going to say Facebook page, but we don’t have a Facebook page. This is a Library Pub thing. Just message the Library Pub Facebook page. |
| Matt: | Which you have to write in the front. |
| Dan: | If you don’t mind sending there, we’ll work out the- |
| Mark: | As their complete aside, everybody is so excited that Nebraska is going to go ball game. Let me give you the list of the potential ball games they can go to. |
| Dan: | If they don’t beat Iowa- |
| Mark: | Yeah, I don’t know. |
| Dan: | … at this point. |
| Mark: | I don’t know how they figured it out. The Rate Bowl, the Pinstripe Bowl- |
| Matt: | Which that would be a cool one. Isn’t that, they play in Yankee Stadium, don’t they? |
| Mark: | Yes. Music City Bowl. |
| Dan: | That’d be cool. Is it national? |
| Chris: | Is it national? |
| Dan: | Jinx. One for- |
| Mark: | Or the Dukes Mayo Bowl. |
| Dan: | I’m Dukes Mayo Bowl. Mark knows how much I love Mayo. |
| Chris: | Oh, Mayo. I thought you said Mayo. Yeah, we do. |
| Matt: | It’s hey- |
| Dan: | What do you know? |
| Matt: | … let’s play some football. Are you ready for some football? |
| Dan: | Oh God, it’s not. It’s the Z deformation. |
| Matt: | Which wasn’t the Mayo Bowl the one that the trophy is like a giant cup full of mayonnaise? |
| Dan: | It needs to be. |
| Matt: | I think it is. |
| Dan: | It needs to be. |
| Matt: | And they were- |
| Dan: | Mayo showers. |
| Matt: | They were like dripping, dipping Ritz crackers or something in it last year. |
| Dan: | Dude, I would drink it. If I won the Mayo Bowl- |
| Matt: | That’s disgusting. Would you really-? |
| Chris: | You need radiation screens from Mayo Clinic. |
| Matt: | Would you eat just a spoonful of mayonnaise? |
| Dan: | Yes. |
| Chris: | Yes. |
| Matt: | That’s gross. |
| Dan: | Would I or have I? The answer is yes. |
| Chris: | Wow. Both times? |
| Dan: | Both. |
| Matt: | That’s- |
| Dan: | Matt, Mark actually sent me- |
| Chris: | Will you lend me a thousand dollars that I will eat it? I will eat it. I will eat a jar for a thousand dollars. It’s easy. |
| Matt: | That’s gross. |
| Chris: | No, I’ll do it. You got a thousand bucks? I’ll do it. |
| Matt: | I don’t think I can- |
| Chris: | We can do it on the podcast. I’ll do it next week on the podcast. |
| Dan: | If it was a hundred bucks, I would do it. |
| Chris: | Yeah, same. |
| Matt: | That’s definitely not the same. |
| Dan: | No. I’m saying if you ate a jar of mayonnaise, I would give you a hundred bucks. |
| Chris: | Nobody’s got a hundred dollars. What kind of jar are we talking about. First of all, let’s get these [inaudible 01:06:50] |
| Dan: | Matt, 32? That’s a large- 26? |
| Matt: | That’s a big jar. I’d say like a picnic jar would probably be safe. |
| Dan: | Yeah, maybe. |
| Mark: | Chris- |
| Matt: | Or maybe one of the squeezy bottles. |
| Mark: | I’m not in on this because I would be completely grossed out. |
| Matt: | Oh, yeah. Like in Anchorman when Brick takes the spoonful of mayonnaise and eats it and he goes Mm-hmm, mayonnaise. |
| Dan: | My niece is the same way. She actually, she said that- |
| Chris: | I’ll eat it, eat it all. |
| Dan: | … one of her little treats is just she does a spoonful of mayonnaise every once in a while. |
| Chris: | I can make it even grosser, like throw some ranch in there and blend it all together. |
| Dan: | That’s not gross at all. |
| Chris: | Yeah, I’ll eat all- |
| Dan: | By the way nobody is saying this is disgusting. |
| Chris: | It sounds really good. |
| Dan: | This is fucking delicious. |
| Matt: | I won’t eat a jar of mayonnaise. |
| Dan: | I don’t know. I probably would. |
| Chris: | I would for $300. A hundred bucks from everybody. |
| Matt: | I mean if you threw a- |
| Mark: | I’m not in. |
| Dan: | Come on. |
| Mark: | I would leave. |
| Dan: | But throw in a hundred bucks and leave. |
| Mark: | No. |
| Chris: | No. |
| Mark: | In my current condition I can’t throw up. |
| Dan: | That’s why I’m saying throw in the hundred bucks and then leave and then he’ll eat it. |
| Chris: | I’ll eat it next Monday. |
| Matt: | Gross. |
| Chris: | I need- |
| Dan: | Matt. |
| Matt: | I’ll throw in $2. |
| Chris: | That’s bullshit. |
| Dan: | I’m going to bring this up to the Sunday crew if I work on Sunday. |
| Chris: | Yeah, you should get over $500 from them. |
| Matt: | You would have to come in on a Sunday and sit here and it it though. |
| Dan: | Yeah, it would’ve to be a Sunday, but that’s fine. I could use my Go Pros and we could video it. |
| Matt: | That’s gross. Just spoonfuls of mayonnaise. |
| Dan: | So gross, so gross. |
| Matt: | [inaudible 01:08:16] |
| Chris: | Is there a record? If I do it under 10 minutes, can I get an extra $200? |
| Dan: | I’m- |
| Matt: | Calm down, Joey chestnut. |
| Dan: | I’m sure that we could- |
| Chris: | No, I’m fricking- |
| Dan: | Yeah, we can do it. |
| Chris: | I’m Googling it. What is the Guinness? |
| Matt: | Well then you got to get the Guinness reps here. |
| Dan: | Yeah, that’s too much. I just- |
| Matt: | It’s definitely not [inaudible 01:08:32]. |
| Dan: | You don’t have to because if it’s videoed- |
| Matt: | Oh, true. There’s |
| Dan: | … there’s proof of it. |
| Chris: | That’s true. It’s true. |
| Dan: | On Mayo- |
| Matt: | It’s still pretty gross and I don’t know about the mix in ranch, and maybe Amigos Ranch. |
| Dan: | Oh, my god. |
| Chris: | Amigos Ranch is so good. |
| Matt: | What about a little cheese sauce? |
| Dan: | Michelle “Cardboard Shell” Lesco holds the world record for eating the most mayonnaise.in three minutes. She ate 86 ounces. |
| Matt: | Oh my God. |
| Chris: | Well that’s just a big jar. |
| Dan: | That’s three jars. |
| Chris: | Yeah, that’s just three jars. |
| Dan: | Look, it’s three jars. |
| Matt: | That’s like a restaurant jar. |
| Dan: | And she’s kind of hot. |
| Chris: | Yeah, she’s got to throw up. Right? |
| Matt: | Which it’s weird. You look at the professional eaters- |
| Dan: | I don’t think she did. |
| Matt: | … and none of them are, very few of them are like giant big fat guys. |
| Dan: | Five fucking pounds. It’s five pounds of mayo. |
| Matt: | Oh. Nope. Nope. |
| Dan: | She also holds the record for eating a bowl of pasta the fastest in 26.69 seconds. |
| Matt: | A bowl of pasta? |
| Chris: | I don’t need to do any. I’m not on that level, but I’m saying if people want see someone eat some mayonnaise, I’ll eat some mayonnaise. |
| Matt: | I’ll eat it on a sandwich. |
| Chris: | I want mayonnaise. |
| Matt: | Between two pieces of bread? |
| Dan: | To put that into perspective, she ate a bowl of pasta the time it takes NASCAR to make two laps at Martinsville. |
| Matt: | I don’t know what that means, Dan. |
| Dan: | Yeah. |
| Chris: | So a lap is 13 seconds? |
| Dan: | Yeah, 18:85. |
| Chris: | That’s really fast I feel like for a car going around in a circle. |
| Dan: | It’s a little tiny spot. Anyways, this has been… It might actually be the longest episode. Well pre pre-edit. Mark, you got anything else for us? |
| Mark: | No. |
| Dan: | Feeling all right? |
| Mark: | No. |
| Dan: | Did you take your pills? |
| Mark: | Yes, some time long. |
| Dan: | Yeah, you’re kind of limited on what you can take, huh? Go to the doctor, get some really good stuff. |
| Mark: | No. |
| Dan: | All right. So the Deer Hammer Library Pub Barrel pick is available. Again, $65. It’s got a lot of flavor to it. I think this is one of those again that it’s higher than I want it to be. So I’m going to kind of water it down a little bit, which is going to get into the area and it’s going to step it down a little bit. It’s going to- |
| Chris: | How many bands do you think are out there that are pissed that they didn’t think of the name Deer Hammer? |
| Dan: | A lot. |
| Chris: | A lot of bluegrass bands. |
| Dan: | Also, the next Library Pub- |
