Bettendorf. It's Gettin dorf.
Yeah, right Ganondorf on golf. There's something there.

(06:28):
Yeah it's Gotta Be Right. You want for me to get an
article? Yeah, sure, sure, sure, sure
would. Wow?
What Cabernet Sauvignon? Wow, wow.
Okay. This is good because our art.

(06:52):
This is a long. Yeah of course.
Cabs have here's the thing. What do you think this article
is about? It's about wines about the want
the concept of Cabernet Sauvignon as a wine incorrect,
the fuck it up. Puzzling me.
Is that a region in France? It is Specifically about the
Cabernet Sauvignon, great. I was our podcast is a Cabernet

(07:16):
Sauvignon of podcasts. Probably, I don't think I need
to explain that. It's one of the world's most
widely recognized red-hot castrate varieties.
It's grown in nearly every majorwine producing country, among a
diverse spectrum of climates from Australia and British
Columbia Canada to lebanon's, bekaa Valley.

(07:37):
Bekaa Valley. If Every word is that it's
nowhere. It's exactly Cabernet Sauvignon.
So wise internationally recognized through its
prominence in Bordeaux wines where it is often blended with
Merlot and Cabernet. Franc from France and Spain, the
grape spread across Europe was Unstoppable and yeah, I think I
want point. It killed thirty percent of the
population of Europe, right? Yeah.

(08:00):
They thought it was coming from the meat but it was coming from
the rat weird found new homes inplaces like California is, do
you know, the best way to make wine as you just put Two rats in
the tub and stomp on them. It doesn't hurt the rats either
which is really cool. You just choose some.
And actually, they actually likeit because they get swollen with
juice for most of the 20th century is the world's most

(08:30):
widely planted premium red wine,grape until it was surpassed by.
Hmm, Merlot 1990s, however, by 2015, Cabernet Sauvignon, had
once again become the most widely planted wine.
Great. Yeah go sideways came out and
everyone talked shit about Merlot, for no reason.
Despite its prominence, in the industry, the grape is relative

(08:51):
relatively new variety. The product really chance
Crossing between Cabernet Franc and sauvignon blanc.
During the 17th century. That's not that new.
Well, I guess like in the yeah. And why?
Exactly. Let's okay, here we go.
The classic profile of Cabernet Sauvignon?
Tends to be full by 590 with high tannins and noticeable.

(09:16):
Acidity that contributes to the wines aging potential in cooler
climates, Cabernet Sauvignon tends to produce wines with
black currant notes that can be accompanied by green bell,
pepper notes. Mint and Cedar which will all
become more prominent as the wine ages in more moderate
climates. The blackcurrant notes are often
seen with a black cherry and black olive notes.
While I'm very hot climates, thecurrent flavors can Veer towards

(09:36):
the overripe and Jami side. Jimmy, in parts of Australia,
particularly the Coon awara wineregion of South Australia,
Cabernet Sauvignon Vines wines tend to have characteristic
eucalyptus or mental notes. Well that's just lazy.
That's lazy. I'm going that's even true.
No you know what's fun about tasting notes?

(09:57):
As know whatever. Whatever did you taste is.
You're right. Yeah.
It's all fake. That's all.
Thank you crazy. Yeah, it's so it's yeah.
Sorry. But this one tastes like
brownies and Blondie, right? He's anvil on days where we did
a little wine club with some friends for a while and we would

(10:20):
It was like a blind so you wouldbring your wine in a paper bag.
Ha ha ha, right, and you meet inthe alley so we number The Paper
Bag. Sure, you know, mix them up so
that nobody knew what they were tasting.
We would write down what we tasted in each one sir and like
rank them. Okay.
And we got like a little sheet that told you like what you can
taste and there's like cat pee is like a tasting.

(10:43):
No really rock. Is it tasting a wet rock?
Yeah. Dry rock.
Is disgusting. What rock is actually very good,
but there was one Time that we did it and two of us happen to
bring because it was like, you know, tonight we're going to be
all Merlot or you know it's all the same stuff.
Sure, two of us. Brought the same one.
But it was all blind. Consistently, everyone rated one

(11:04):
of the bottle, much higher than the other, the same.
Everyone's like, yeah, same thing.
That's interesting. Yeah, it was really cool to me
that says that it's probably lowquality to me, it says that he
was probably the last one that we tasted the, we're already

(11:25):
feeling pretty good. Okay, that I like, that's a much
more. Yeah.
Yeah like that. That's a glass of wine have full
point of view. It was also like we had like a
dollar amount to spend you know it was whatever.
Yeah. 20 to 30 dollars. Yeah.
Right. So we weren't getting like some
crazy. Yeah, something crazy expensive.
Yeah, it was fun. I don't care.

(11:47):
Yeah, I'm a dessert wine guy. Fuck the sweet wine.
Yeah, I saw a man, which is discussed.
Yeah, it's just, it's the Candy Corn of drink.
Yeah. Do you have?
I mean I guess ice wine is your favorite wines ice wine.

(12:08):
Yes, I'm close. Other than that, I don't know.
I think it'd be a white wine, probably same because I always I
always want to think it's a red wine but it's just a little too
much. Yeah, it's too bold by half sir.
I think of red wine makes me go like this.
Like yes, you know where's the way?

(12:29):
When I say like yeah, it's like a Pepsi.
Yes. That's because my wine of
choice. Sure.
That's a white one. Blanc means can't be seen and
friendship. Yeah, that's why there's the the
Tomb of the Blanc Soldier. What's your of all of the your

(13:00):
who's your favorite Pokemon? Oh, is it Blanc introducing
generation to? All those different forms of
Blanc. Yeah, exactly.
My I was like, yeah, I forgot that you actually, you know, so

(13:24):
much more about Pokemon, I do that.
Hindered your yeah. Did you see that?
They unveiled a new Pokémon for that wiggle it?
Yeah. Can you tell me about like what?
It is not related to? That's not okay.
It's like, you know how everything eventually evolved
into crab in real life or in Pokémon like like crap.

(13:45):
ABS evolved in like 20 different, like a bunch of
different Critters like evolved into crabs based.
And now I don't know that like Ithink it's like divergent
evolution or kovrigin and weird.We're like over time I was like,
I guess crab is the way to go, is the way to go, so like a
bunch of different stuff just turned into crabs.
But they're not actually really have nothing to each other.

(14:05):
Yeah, weird style. Okay, that's what this Wiglet is
to our friend. Diglett, he's a crap.
He's he's become Come on world. You've explained a lot but made
it. More.
Unde Ziggler. Is that accurate?
Well, no. But is it accurate in any way,
the crab thing? Yes.
In the real world, we will become a crab.

(14:27):
Lots of things became crap. Okay, crab is the best crab has
style crab is live animal. Okay, I believe that it.you're
protected. You can fight.
Yep, you're yummy. Actually don't prefer crab but
people like it. Do you like, do you like crab?
And I'm just thinking about if being protected and being able

(14:51):
to fight and being yummy are thethree best things you could have
that seems pretty good. I can defend myself.
I can fight and I'm yummy right.Looks like I don't think you can
have all three. That's the problem.
Yeah, cheap fast and good. Exactly defense defense fighting
yummy. So you could be yummy and have

(15:13):
good defenses but there's no wayI'm gonna throw a punch.
Yeah, you know I think you're right.
Yeah, you're right. You can you can fight and
protect yourself but you will not be yummy.
That's for damn sure. Yeah your to to your muscle mass
is too high. Yeah, exactly.

(15:55):
they think is too stupid to be yummy.
He's also just not, I don't think he's just my like a beefy
boy. You don't like me if you boys
stay away from Rocky. Yeah.
Stay away from pretty much. I want a movie and all the
movies. They're all boxers.
No briefs tie. That who's.who's.
What's an example of a yummy Defender yummy Defender.

(16:21):
Gimli from Lord of the Rings. no, I here's I think like
Captain America is a yummy defense.
Captain America is a yummy to find it.
He's main thing is The Shield, you know.
Okay he's all about protecting. Okay and who's a yummy fighter,
Tony Stark that's the job. Oh that's where the Civil War

(16:42):
comes in, I see. Okay then what's left, we have a
someone who's a fighter and a protector who's not yummy.
Hulk. Wow.
The MCU really does have it all Man Thor Thor?
What would you? He's not yummy.
No yummy fight. He's the only Fighter for sure.
Yeah. Okay Natalia Black Widow yummy

(17:05):

Defender. I think he is a fighter.
He's a fighter Defender under. Yeah.
Okay. Yeah.
You know what? You're right.
You're absolutely right. Yeah.
Hawkeye God he's retired we don't have to count.

(17:26):
Yeah I mean I guess like technically a yummy attacker
fighter. Yeah the only fighter.
Whoo whoo. Whoo.
Okay. We've got what about what about

even? She-Hulk might be a yummy defend
her. Oh she looks yummy.
Public defender. Mmm.

(18:16):
They're like a billion of these movies.
Why can't I think of anymore? I'm just trying to think of like
ugly people that are in the in the world.
Like the Wolf, the version of Wolverine in the movies, is not
the Wolverine in the comics, in the comics Wolverines.
Probably a fighter Defender, butin the movies, he's a yummy
fighter. Yeah.
You know. Yeah.
I guess it's hard to make a movie without yummy people.
Really. Yeah?

(18:38):
What I mean? What about the penguin?
DeVito. Yeah.
Because now we might choose a different look, an evil version
of it. Yeah, exactly.
Right. Here's the thing and this is
controversial. You think he's cute?
Yummy Defender, you think Danny DeVito's penguin, is a yummy

(19:02):
Defender. Can you back that up or is that
just like a gut feeling? Well, the umbrella clearly.
I'm relevant Defender. I'll give you, I think.
Me can be I think it's not to behe ought to be into, it's not
your thing but someone thinks he's yummy.
I think yummy can be like an absolute value thing.
So interesting I see he's yummy.Stats are all the way to the 1.

(19:25):
Sot. Yes, a he's anti yummy.
Yeah. But I think he's also like he's
like charismatic in a fucked-up way you know that goes a long
way. That's a type of yummy.
Yeah. I feel like in every hetero
relationship the man is the Penguin.
And the woman is the Catwoman, you know.
No, man ever has anything to offer at all other than their

(19:48):
personality, he's at best. Yeah.
Yes yes. No Batman.
Fighter Defender. I don't think there's anything
that's tough because he could bea yummy shit man at what Batman?

(20:10):
Uh-huh. Oh, fuck fighter Bruce Wayne
yummy Defender. Oh, that's interesting.
What about Superman and Clark Kent.
His car man is yummy Defender. I think they're both yummy
Defender, kind of interesting because Clark Kent is that he's

(20:31):
a journalist. He's like yeah, he's muckrake,
he's protecting us. He's a yeah, he's a yellow
journalist. He's the big bag of the whole
thing if you really look into it.
Yeah, interesting. Okay.
I mean well, but Luke Skywalker.Yummy Defender.

Right? Which Luke Skywalker?
Oh, all of them. I think Luke is a yummy
Defender. And what about Vader?
A yummy attacker Anakin is a yummy Defender.

Yes, you're out to back that up.His whole thing is protecting

(21:17):
his loved ones. Yes.
And that is what, that's what hehe defends so hard.
That it comes all the way back around.
Okay, I see what are some thingsthat aren't like, heroes or
villains? Like like Concepts or, you know,
like like what is McDonald's. McDonald's yummy for sure.

(21:45):
It doesn't attack her. Right?
I'm thinking like, all the moneythey spend on advertising and
yeah, right? Okay, Burger King yummy
Defender. He has to protect his attack,
the crown. Yeah, if you come for the king,
you best not miss. What about PlayStation?
Oh, let's here. Here's what we do.
The 3 Playstation, we got Xbox. Xbox or I guess PlayStation, 2

(22:10):
Xbox and GameCube. Oh, we're going back to that.
Okay? Well GameCube is yummy Defender.
Yeah, right. There's no attack to a GameCube.
I think PlayStation 2 is a yummyattacker and Xboxes at soccer
Defender. Yeah, exactly.
I don't know how but that's whatit is.

(22:30):
Yeah. Wow.
Okay yeah. Does fuck married, right?
Yummy Defender at soccer and then we can also do the other
way around you. I think you marry yummy.

(22:51):
Oh I think you married offender you so interesting and you fuck
yummy. Yeah and you kill a talker?
Yeah I agree. We definitely kill attacker.
So you'd rather be you fuck attacker.
That's interesting. That's I think it's

(23:11):
controversial. So, but so now let's reverse it
and What is it? We have to assign.
The fuck is attacker defense attacker yummy.
So yummy attacker. Yeah, right.
Mary is yummy Defender. Yeah kill is attack.

(23:35):
Wait we did someone already right?
Didn't we know we did fuck first.
Fuck marry kill and kill his. I think kill is a attack
Defender. Yeah man, that's hard.
Did we how did we stumble into the perfect?
Oh, because when we when we turn50, we turn into grabs.

(24:01):
I don't know, I think so. I think it's time for our show
to turn into a crab. Because we've reached this is
its peak Evolution. That's true.
Yeah. So okay.
Our show, I hate yummy. I was gonna say.
It's yummy to find her. Yeah, for sure.

(24:21):
Was it ever different at any point?
What about you? You and me.
I think I'm yummy. You are yummy Defender.
Yeah, are you yummy yummy I meanI think I'm either you're not
yummy but yeah I mean I might beattacker Defender.
Yeah, I think so too. I think that's what makes this

(24:42):
podcast so good is the dichotomybetween that and the attacker
Defender. What do you?
Okay. What do you think is the most
romantically compatible pairing?I think it's probably yummy
attacker and yummy Defender because they're both yummy and
they can a cover each other's weaknesses.

(25:03):
Yeah. Or to attacker Defenders.
That's because you know, them cares about being yummy and it'd
be like, it'd be like a passionate, you know, be you
think you me Primal? Yes, yes.
Okay. and turtles are yummy Defenders.

(25:33):
Yeah, that was an easy one huh? Okay.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that.
Well, that's tough because then you get breakdown them
individually and that would haveto be you because I don't
remember, who is who Donatello is a yummy Defender?
They're actually, they can't allbe on the Defenders.
Michelangelo is a party dude. Easy I'm going to say yummy

(25:55):
Defender. Which one's crude, but lewd
crude but lewd such a crazy Jones.
Wrath is definitely a yummy attack, okay?
And then our attacker Defender. I think Leo would be an adult.
Yes. Okay, yeah, okay.
Let's get to know now. So we got to you too, yummy
Defenders Defender and this is nonsense winter.

(26:18):
It would be Soccer Defender. Yeah Shredder.
Yeah. Big-time.
Big-time yummy attacker. I think Kraang would also be
young attacker. Yeah.
Because he's got he's got that penguin, yum.
You know, he's got that penguin young.

(26:39):
Okay. All right.
Well will smell you when we smell you.
We want to just keep pulling articles or do we just want to
get one and say this is the one?I think we should get one

(27:01):
because if we get multiple ones whatever well yeah whenever stop
but also I feel like It's we don't get the good train of
thought, running away with the off the tracks, like Ozzy
Osbourne talks about, I did you know what, I realized that it's

(27:23):
much too late for this. We always do video episodes for
for the hundreds and we're nurses are not doing that for
the last the best and last one. Do we need yet?
