Speaker 5 (11:55):
What the economy the two rivers meet in this confluence
of gorgeousness.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
They built a gondlo over it.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
And my grandpa used to take me up my great
You know about my grandpa. People don't know the reason
I sing the Great American Songbook and why I love
Frank and Dean and all those guys is because my
grandpa was my best buddy, and he loved me so much,
used to sit cross legged on the four with me.
We listen to records, and he was a plumber for
fifty years and he would do when I was sixteen seventeen,
(12:23):
free plumbing, if guys, that's how I started. He would
come and say, hey, I'll fix your toilet or hot
water here to let my grandson up on stage.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
And that is, honest to God, how I started. My
best friend.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Okay, So when I bought this little company in Montreal,
it was just to buy it with my wife where
I was. I thought, we bought this, it would be fun,
you know what I mean. We don't make anybody else
to company, four kids, all this, and I don't want
my marriage and any parent outther. I think you'll understand.
I don't want it to because right now it is
like about the kids, and I want it to be
I want us to have.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Our thing, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
And when our kids leave, I want not to look
at my wife and go, who the hell are you?
And I want to have a So we're like, let's
do this about this little company. Then we got this
guy said, well, why don't you go talk to this
bigger guy in New York about your little You know,
you're part of this little beautiful whiskey company. In Montreal.
And then he said to me, dude, I've done a
(13:15):
bunch of these. I've done some of these deals. I
did with Ryan Reynolds, we did it with George Clooney,
and he's like, you could do this. And so he's like,
would you be interested in using your distillery and making
whiskey and mixing it with Heaven Hail, which is this
incredible company in America one hundred years old, and doing
a mix of North American whiskey, you know, not a
(13:35):
Canadian whiskey, of North American whiskey. And then my grandpa
used to take me up camping to where the Fraser
and Thompson met and I was like, you know what
this is perfect, Like this is a perfect name for
what this is. It's a mix and like the confluence
and look at I mean I didn't look right up here.
It's muddy water, muddy and that's what it tastes like, muddy,
(13:56):
dirty water. Wait and grade a second, that is not
a good way to step, but look it right up
the top El was that's his birthday. So I have
all these I have all these littlest straggs from my grandpa,
greenful Italian.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Your grandfather lives on right here.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
He lives there. Man.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
And we used I used to make he used to
make moonshine stuff. And that's another part of it.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
But I'll have some of that too, Okay, we got
to talk about this whiskey thing. Michael Boo Blaze here,
By the way, you have heard one note because we're
talking about a different channel, but a different river in his.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Life now, dirty, muddy, disgusting.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Sorry, I just started getting into the brown water into
whiskeys recently because not because of cigars, smoking golf, playing
sweaty dudes. My girlfriends love whiskey. And you know what
this girlfriend round here is Gandhi. You were saying that
she used to be lily white. The brown whiskey has
turned her brown.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Surely this is not my natural color.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
What what? She's whiskey A whiskey shade. Yes, But you
love you love whiskeys. When we go out, it's always
a whisky.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
What like? What do you like about it?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I like that one. It makes me warm inside, which
is nice. But I really like I think that you know,
the shortest way from point A to point B straight line.
That's how I feel about whiskey. I don't love the
taste of alcohol for the most part. So if I'm drinking,
I'm trying to have a good time and whiskey gets
me there.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
And why why take the local when you can take
the express?
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Exactly Well, it's going to be strange like in whiskey,
let me tell you, because I made a whiskey for
you because you can go get Patty Van Winkle for
four thousand dollars. And that's not what I was doing.
I was I wanted to make three years. Dude, I'm
not joking. It took us three years of me breaking this.
This this guy who Paul Cirka, who's a genius and
does this, and I wanted to like reverse engineer a
(15:41):
whiskey for whiskey people that people that don't maybe love whiskey.
And I know, like I know that some people love
the harshness and they love that kind.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Of the pity smoky thing.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
I like, like I liked a really.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
You called me, well, you called me a whimp. You're
like you such a was.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
But he makes mixes it with kool aid.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
But do you know what, No, But I like it
because it's it's it's smooth and it's got a little
sweetness in the end.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
And I like, that's what I like.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I like what I like, So I like a good Manhattan.
I'll do that.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Yeah, that's that's just so we're not trying to be
some fancy dancy thing. We're trying to be like accessible
or for thirty five bucks, you can have a beautiful,
beautiful bottle of whisks.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Can we just try it? Yeah? Can I even try it?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Talking? I'm hold on to and to those we've lost.
Knock it on the table. You look me in the eye.
Mm oh, that's good.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Good.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
You know that is good.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
That is good.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
It's very smooth.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
It has a nice sweet finish. Yeah, just like you, Michael.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Warm feeling it gives him.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
And I know you're making fun of me.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
But what I do is I go home and I
take like a few ounces out and I put like
orange juice and orange bubbly whatever you can do that,
a little brown sugar, and then I shake it up
and put in the freezer.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Oh nice, Like shake it up?
Speaker 3 (17:05):
What what did you do with your hair?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
And wake it up?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Okay? Can I just talk about another beautiful thing about whisky? Okay?
In the old glamorous movies where they're all coming home
from their day wearing tuxedos. They all oh, they all
walk to the bar. They put a cube in the glass,
and they always have the beautiful crystal decanters. I want
that life. I want to live the life of.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
A oh like the commercials a.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Baron that comes home from fox hunting the boys, you
know after all day, the glamorous people in the back
in the day in the forties fifty, they always pour
one little, one little, and they or the guys on
Madison Avenue would have it in their office. Come on, John,
let's talk about the deal. They throw some whiskey down.
We should do that every day. I didn't think that much.
(17:48):
I just like money and drinking. Okay, fine, this will
be fine.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
You know what's cool too, is that when we did
our advertising, wait till you see some of the ads
that are gonna come out.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Are you in them?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yeah? Of course?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Do you charge of fee? I bought it's my company,
I own it, I know, but technically the units would
say you have to pay yourself.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
All I saw every.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Whiskey commercial was a dude in a leather couch with
a cigar, and I was like, no, I want to
like like deal with the tropes and make fun of it.
And so I think the first picture we took was
me in a lawn chair with Chinese food.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
I was like, that is what I'm thinking, and let's
do what we can to normalize whiskey for everyone, not
just titans of industry. That's what it's for, the women,
titans as they should.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
Yeah, it's I think that's the fastest growing audience the market.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
I have no problem.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Listen. I want to tell you to to be.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Really fair, please be be open.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
But I have no idea what I'm talking about.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
I have just lied about so many things about knowing
about whiskey.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I don't know what I'm really like.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
I think it's a good place to come from because
you are learning with the rest of us, and I
think it's fine.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
The dude that I bought the company from, with Paul Cirka,
the master distiller, he I asked him how big the
brewery was when I bought it, and he looked at
me and he thought I was joking because I didn't know.
It wasn't a brewery. It's not called a brewery. Apparently
they make beer and breweries.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Yeah, your brute, you brillary. I just told this distillery, Yes,
how big is it?
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I don't know?
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Oh god, it's forty big. So it's a small little
it was a small little bouotick thing. But then I
went to Having Hill in Kentucky and it's HiT's huge.
They got like a two million barrels.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
It's that would be you one day if you want

the nights we're talking, she goes, can I play you

Speaker 4 (25:00):
And she was on with us the other day. We
were talking to her and we said something but your share,
and she goes, who cares?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
And we were like, what a lot of people care.
I know a lot of people who've known her through
the years, and they say that as talented as she is,
she definitely has those very normal qualities of insecurities and
self doubt and self self deprecated. I say self defecating
because it's someone who kind of craps all over themselves.
But she's she, but it makes you love her even more.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah, totally.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
And I wish I had those qualities because I think
I'm a nice person, but I don't I truly know how.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Great I am. You know, I will tell you all
the time.

we just bought a few minutes.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Can I say last time you were here? I think
it was at Madison Square Garden. I was at your
last show before you gave birth. Well, you didn't get birth,
your wife gave birth to your fourth And I felt
like it was the most special moment because you were
sharing it with everyone, saying I'm leaving tonight and I'm
going to see my child be born.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
And I was like, I'm here for this.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
This is the coolest moment ever. Yeah, it was very special.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
God, you know, Michael all sincerity. Put the phone in
show you quick. I don't want to see the porn
on your phone.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Hold.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Look, we went to.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Go see Santa for the third time, and they were like,
why do we have to see him again? They don't
realize I really love Christmas.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
You're like a You're a Christmas You're a Christmas cottage industry.
Oh my god, Now to be serious for a moment.
I mean, the last time we hung out was how
many years ago? And it was not long after that
that that sickness came upon your family, and that was
a way to bring it awful. No no, no, no
no no no no. But I just you'd understand something.
(27:29):
You impacted us. I'm kind of sweaty. You impacted us
so much.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
When you were here.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
You were on our minds and we were talking about
you and your family every single day.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
You know what, I just watched Jamie foxx H have
his first sort of public appearance or at least talk
about what he went through, and I, uh, it was
just so emotional to see it.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
I love what he said.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
I love that he said that he was admitted into
the hospital and the woman pulled the sort of he
was hidden so they didn't know who he was, and
when she saw who it was, she said to him,
dear lord, you know Sweete's we've been praying for you,
and I really there's no way I can articulate or
express how my wife and I felt that we went
through something that was unthinkable. It's changed our lives. And
(28:11):
by the way, this person sitting here now listen, will
I ever be careful again?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Probably not.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
I live and sometimes in fear, and I there's a
heaviness in my life, you know, from kind of suffering.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
But I am so happy.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
And grateful and free, and it allows me to live
this life this deeper depth, I think, and to come
into a show like this where you know, I probably
would have been nervous years ago to come here, even
though I know you and you guys are so sweet.
I would have walked in and gone, Okay, this is
a big show. And dude, now it's just like I
just think I just went through the worst thing that
(28:46):
could ever happen, and today I'm going to eat breakfast
burritos with these beautiful people. I get drunk with my
whisky and it's like it changes. It really does. And
it's like even like say, with the whisky or a record,
I don't listen. If it works, that's great, but if
it doesn't, it's like I got four gorgeous kids, a wife.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
That is oh god, she's a hot and patient.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
She's obviously very she's very patient. You're wife very pertient.

And the two rivers.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
What the economy the two rivers meet in this confluence
of gorgeousness.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
They built a gondlo over it.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
And my grandpa used to take me up my great
You know about my grandpa. People don't know the reason
I sing the Great American Songbook and why I love
Frank and Dean and all those guys is because my
grandpa was my best buddy, and he loved me so much,
used to sit cross legged on the four with me.
We listen to records, and he was a plumber for
fifty years and he would do when I was sixteen seventeen,
(12:23):
free plumbing, if guys, that's how I started. He would
come and say, hey, I'll fix your toilet or hot
water here to let my grandson up on stage.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
And that is, honest to God, how I started. My
best friend.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Okay, So when I bought this little company in Montreal,
it was just to buy it with my wife where
I was. I thought, we bought this, it would be fun,
you know what I mean. We don't make anybody else
to company, four kids, all this, and I don't want
my marriage and any parent outther. I think you'll understand.
I don't want it to because right now it is
like about the kids, and I want it to be
I want us to have.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Our thing, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
And when our kids leave, I want not to look
at my wife and go, who the hell are you?
And I want to have a So we're like, let's
do this about this little company. Then we got this
guy said, well, why don't you go talk to this
bigger guy in New York about your little You know,
you're part of this little beautiful whiskey company. In Montreal.
And then he said to me, dude, I've done a
(13:15):
bunch of these. I've done some of these deals. I
did with Ryan Reynolds, we did it with George Clooney,
and he's like, you could do this. And so he's like,
would you be interested in using your distillery and making
whiskey and mixing it with Heaven Hail, which is this
incredible company in America one hundred years old, and doing
a mix of North American whiskey, you know, not a
(13:35):
Canadian whiskey, of North American whiskey. And then my grandpa
used to take me up camping to where the Fraser
and Thompson met and I was like, you know what
this is perfect, Like this is a perfect name for
what this is. It's a mix and like the confluence
and look at I mean I didn't look right up here.
It's muddy water, muddy and that's what it tastes like, muddy,
(13:56):
dirty water. Wait and grade a second, that is not
a good way to step, but look it right up
the top El was that's his birthday. So I have
all these I have all these littlest straggs from my grandpa,
greenful Italian.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Your grandfather lives on right here.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
He lives there. Man.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
And we used I used to make he used to
make moonshine stuff. And that's another part of it.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
But I'll have some of that too, Okay, we got
to talk about this whiskey thing. Michael Boo Blaze here,
By the way, you have heard one note because we're
talking about a different channel, but a different river in his.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Life now, dirty, muddy, disgusting.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Sorry, I just started getting into the brown water into
whiskeys recently because not because of cigars, smoking golf, playing
sweaty dudes. My girlfriends love whiskey. And you know what
this girlfriend round here is Gandhi. You were saying that
she used to be lily white. The brown whiskey has
turned her brown.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Surely this is not my natural color.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
What what? She's whiskey A whiskey shade. Yes, But you
love you love whiskeys. When we go out, it's always
a whisky.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
What like? What do you like about it?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I like that one. It makes me warm inside, which
is nice. But I really like I think that you know,
the shortest way from point A to point B straight line.
That's how I feel about whiskey. I don't love the
taste of alcohol for the most part. So if I'm drinking,
I'm trying to have a good time and whiskey gets
me there.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
And why why take the local when you can take
the express?
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Exactly Well, it's going to be strange like in whiskey,
let me tell you, because I made a whiskey for
you because you can go get Patty Van Winkle for
four thousand dollars. And that's not what I was doing.
I was I wanted to make three years. Dude, I'm
not joking. It took us three years of me breaking this.
This this guy who Paul Cirka, who's a genius and
does this, and I wanted to like reverse engineer a
(15:41):
whiskey for whiskey people that people that don't maybe love whiskey.
And I know, like I know that some people love
the harshness and they love that kind.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Of the pity smoky thing.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
I like, like I liked a really.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
You called me, well, you called me a whimp. You're
like you such a was.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
But he makes mixes it with kool aid.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
But do you know what, No, But I like it
because it's it's it's smooth and it's got a little
sweetness in the end.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
And I like, that's what I like.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I like what I like, So I like a good Manhattan.
I'll do that.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Yeah, that's that's just so we're not trying to be
some fancy dancy thing. We're trying to be like accessible
or for thirty five bucks, you can have a beautiful,
beautiful bottle of whisks.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Can we just try it? Yeah? Can I even try it?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Talking? I'm hold on to and to those we've lost.
Knock it on the table. You look me in the eye.
Mm oh, that's good.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Good.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
You know that is good.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
That is good.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
It's very smooth.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
It has a nice sweet finish. Yeah, just like you, Michael.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Warm feeling it gives him.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
And I know you're making fun of me.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
But what I do is I go home and I
take like a few ounces out and I put like
orange juice and orange bubbly whatever you can do that,
a little brown sugar, and then I shake it up
and put in the freezer.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Oh nice, Like shake it up?
Speaker 3 (17:05):
What what did you do with your hair?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
And wake it up?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Okay? Can I just talk about another beautiful thing about whisky? Okay?
In the old glamorous movies where they're all coming home
from their day wearing tuxedos. They all oh, they all
walk to the bar. They put a cube in the glass,
and they always have the beautiful crystal decanters. I want
that life. I want to live the life of.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
A oh like the commercials a.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Baron that comes home from fox hunting the boys, you
know after all day, the glamorous people in the back
in the day in the forties fifty, they always pour
one little, one little, and they or the guys on
Madison Avenue would have it in their office. Come on, John,
let's talk about the deal. They throw some whiskey down.
We should do that every day. I didn't think that much.
(17:48):
I just like money and drinking. Okay, fine, this will
be fine.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
You know what's cool too, is that when we did
our advertising, wait till you see some of the ads
that are gonna come out.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Are you in them?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yeah? Of course?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Do you charge of fee? I bought it's my company,
I own it, I know, but technically the units would
say you have to pay yourself.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
All I saw every.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Whiskey commercial was a dude in a leather couch with
a cigar, and I was like, no, I want to
like like deal with the tropes and make fun of it.
And so I think the first picture we took was
me in a lawn chair with Chinese food.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
I was like, that is what I'm thinking, and let's
do what we can to normalize whiskey for everyone, not
just titans of industry. That's what it's for, the women,
titans as they should.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
Yeah, it's I think that's the fastest growing audience the market.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
I have no problem.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Listen. I want to tell you to to be.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Really fair, please be be open.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
But I have no idea what I'm talking about.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
I have just lied about so many things about knowing
about whiskey.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I don't know what I'm really like.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
I think it's a good place to come from because
you are learning with the rest of us, and I
think it's fine.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
The dude that I bought the company from, with Paul Cirka,
the master distiller, he I asked him how big the
brewery was when I bought it, and he looked at
me and he thought I was joking because I didn't know.
It wasn't a brewery. It's not called a brewery. Apparently
they make beer and breweries.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Yeah, your brute, you brillary. I just told this distillery, Yes,
how big is it?
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I don't know?
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Oh god, it's forty big. So it's a small little
it was a small little bouotick thing. But then I
went to Having Hill in Kentucky and it's HiT's huge.
They got like a two million barrels.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
It's that would be you one day if you want
that before. We can just keep it nice and like

And she was on with us the other day. We
were talking to her and we said something but your share,
and she goes, who cares?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
And we were like, what a lot of people care.
I know a lot of people who've known her through
the years, and they say that as talented as she is,
she definitely has those very normal qualities of insecurities and
self doubt and self self deprecated. I say self defecating
because it's someone who kind of craps all over themselves.
But she's she, but it makes you love her even more.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah, totally.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
And I wish I had those qualities because I think
I'm a nice person, but I don't I truly know how.

the hospital and the woman pulled the sort of he
was hidden so they didn't know who he was, and
when she saw who it was, she said to him,
dear lord, you know Sweete's we've been praying for you,
and I really there's no way I can articulate or
express how my wife and I felt that we went
through something that was unthinkable. It's changed our lives. And
(28:11):
by the way, this person sitting here now listen, will
I ever be careful again?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Probably not.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
I live and sometimes in fear, and I there's a
heaviness in my life, you know, from kind of suffering.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
But I am so happy.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
And grateful and free, and it allows me to live
this life this deeper depth, I think, and to come
into a show like this where you know, I probably
would have been nervous years ago to come here, even
though I know you and you guys are so sweet.
I would have walked in and gone, Okay, this is
a big show. And dude, now it's just like I
just think I just went through the worst thing that
(28:46):
could ever happen, and today I'm going to eat breakfast
burritos with these beautiful people. I get drunk with my
whisky and it's like it changes. It really does. And
it's like even like say, with the whisky or a record,
I don't listen. If it works, that's great, but if
it doesn't, it's like I got four gorgeous kids, a wife.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
That is oh god, she's a hot and patient.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
She's obviously very she's very patient. You're wife very pertient.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
My god, she's so patient. She actually thinks.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
She keeps saying to me, and she's like, what you know,
cause she got the four kids. So I got the
last night she said, what are you doing. I said,
a babe, I'm at another event, you know, pressing the
flesh and tin. And she said, enjoy your holiday. Mikey said,
what I am here with the kids with they've got
