Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi all Chelsea here.
I just wanted to pop in at thetop of the show to introduce our
very first live show that werecorded at our very first
Street Spirit Festival that weput on this past July 16th.
It was definitely a funexperience, a little bit scary,
but we still want to thankeveryone for coming out.
It was amazing.
So, without further ado, let'sget to the show.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
For the one, well, for the two, and the only for
the two and the only.
Chelsea and Pamela from theDrum Find podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Well, hello everybody .
Hello, this is amazing.
First of all, can I just giveit up to Fiona over here,
probably the best MC money couldbuy.
Oh yeah, thank you guys, allfor coming.
(01:32):
This is absolutely incredible.
But first I should say I'm, myname is Chelsea and Pamela, and
this is the Drum Find podcast,the podcast where we talk about
all things.
Whiskey, yeah, and on today'sepisode we decided to do a
whiskey festival.
So, yeah, that's, that's a goodtime.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
We decided your live podcast.
We've never done one before, sothat's exciting.
Yeah, slightly terrifying.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
But why did we decide to do this Pam Like?
Why are we doing the StreetSpirit Festival?
Speaker 4 (02:06):
That's a loaded question, but do you know,
chelsea and I had a chat evenjust about when we started the
podcast three years ago?
We sat in a pub, really shapeof an, everything it's a hilltop
it's a hilltop, yeah, but it'sback, it's open again, it's back
and the hilltop and we're likewe got to do something together,
(02:29):
like we should do something.
Like how do we start a band?
We almost started a band, butthen we don't.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
We don't play me instrument.
Well, you do.
I'm just doing a very poorthing.
I do, I know, did.
I try to start a band with youtoo.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Hi, I feel cheated on you.
Sorry, sorry.
So well, we found this insteadand it worked out, but one of
our goals right at the start was, you know, like whiskey
festivals are fun but I justdon't really feel like I love
them, like they could be.
There could be more funelements to it and as a Scottish
person at whiskey festivals inCanada, I kind of felt like they
(03:03):
were a bit cringe.
Sorry, sorry to say that, but Idon't want to see Highland
Dancing every time someone has awhiskey.
No offense.
No offense Because HighlandDancing is great, but yeah.
So that's why we were like,let's do something fun, let's
have some entertainment, let's,you know, plug ourselves and get
(03:24):
a statement.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
And let's do something light-hearted and like
just easy to digest and let'sinclude just like let's.
The amount of people here, thediversity of people here is
amazing.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
It's like it's great, it blew my mind.
It blew my mind.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yeah, and also just I mean like we're not only do we
have amazing internationalbrands that are supporting us,
but we have some amazing localdistilleries that came by as
well, so it's just this likebeautiful combination of all
these things.
And so, and you wonderfulpeople, for showing up today

(03:58):
so thank you.
Speaker 4 (04:00):

that have, like, almost made uscry today, like there was a
lovely lady came up to me andsaid you know, I've been into
whiskey for 20 odd years andI've been so, like, kind of
scared to go to a whiskeytasting and never wanted to go,
but this has made me feel likeso approachable and that's what
(04:21):
we're all about.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so today.

differently.
I think you know you guys arepushing the envelope in terms of
, like, what a whiskey festivallooks like.
I'm 100% a part of that,because I really want to ride on
those coattails.
Like I feel like it's so niceto have that's what it is for
(07:45):
the draft lawyer, that's right.
That's right, and it feels likethat guy, it's like a real
sense of community here, like.
So this has been such a great,great time and thank you for
reaching out and let's do itagain.
Okay, oh, yes, yes.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Well, I have a background actually on that.
I wrote the proposal for thisfestival and was like I just
need some advice on it.
I'm going to send it to mylovely friend.
Jamie, just to see if she hasany edits or anything like that
or anything she thinks I shouldchange.
And she didn't make any changes.
She just sent it to her bossand then wrote back saying we'll
take the platinum sponsor.
And we were like, don't be, Iguess it's not this.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
Whatever they do, I want to be a part of it.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Yes, so we were so happy and you, you know what it

fight.
Speaker 1 (08:43):

all you are just shadows, so Idon't know who's talking.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
I know I can't see.
I know I love it.
It's great.
It's great have you here'sanother question have you ever
opened for a?
Speaker 7 (08:56):
drag queen.
Oh yeah, never, not once, never.
And I was so happy Dram fightis for the draft fight.
It was nice Like I feel likeit's hard to like open for a
drag queen and so like becauseit's so much more glamorous than
like I'm a little sweaty uphere and stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
So like it was nice to have a little glamour on the
stage after me so it was greatand the newest paper was meeting
her color.
She was in yellow and pink.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
See, it's the attention to detail.
It's the attention to detail.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I think it's harder to follow a drag queen.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yeah, this is for Rachel.
Yeah, so this is low energyYou're doing great, we're trying
our best.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Okay, I think we're ready.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Let's get into these queries.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
So um where are they?
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Oh, they're on the jar.
You've got everyone's gotquestions.
Yeah, I put one in there too.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Did you?
Yeah, I did.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Oh, okay.
So this first question.
I don't know who wrote it, butthank you for writing it.
What, in your opinion, is thebiggest influence on your love
of whiskey?
Who's going first?
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Me yes, no, jamie, jamie that's my question.
It's literally my question.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I wrote that no, I'm not even kidding you, like you
literally picked my question andyou have to answer it.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
Oh, now I've really done it Medicine piece bitter.
Um, honestly, I really do thinkit's that sense of community
Like for me, like I learned somuch every time I come to a
whiskey festival, and not justfrom ambassadors or distillers
or blenders that are there, Likeit's from the community who you
sort of connect with throughout.
You know, I'm lucky enough Iget to go all across Canada and
(10:30):
I see so many familiar faces allover and I think that for me
has been like the best sort oflike most invigorating impact on
my whiskey like journey forsure.
The community.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
You guys, yeah, you guys.
You guys, and the Edmontonwhiskey community I'm sorry, top
, they're out there, tip, top,they're amazing.
So many of them came out tosupport us tonight as well.
Yeah, she's been amazing.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Kent and Cheryl.
Kent and Cheryl.
Where are you, you guys, one ofthese days, oh there, oh, my
god, there are the girls I sawoff.
Yes, yeah, one of these daysI'm going to go to the one of
the fires, I promise, if anyoneknows anything I've been.
I've been, yeah, I'll be thereone day.
I think my answer would have tobe the same.
I think it's the community, butI also love the history and
(11:14):
even the science behind it andthe fact when you have a, like a
20 year old whiskey, the factthat it's it took at least 20
years and it traveled thousandsof miles to get right in front
of you and it's.
There's nothing kind ofromantic about that.
You know what I mean, andthere's not many things to
really like be romantic aboutthese days, so why not indulge
in?
You know, an ex-muski?
Speaker 4 (11:34):
That's nice.
Yeah, right, both good answers,both great, both great answers,
thank you.
I honestly like to see whatlike sustainability and I should
have something followed, and Ilike to see what people are like
kind of changing things up andwhen people are kind of going
against the gradient andsomething about new always came
to light.
Yep, yes, my interest a littlebit, but, yeah, community is
number one.
Obviously you guys Love thatAwesome.
Yeah, you guys.

Speaker 4 (15:31):
It's a hard one.
Speaker 9 (15:32):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
No, I'm just kidding.
I'm pretty simple.
Speaker 9 (15:35):
Yeah, you tip the bartender's $150.
That's what you do.
Yeah, you just give them abunch of money and feel bad
about yourself.
I broke a bottle earlier.
Yeah, that was me.
Yeah, that was you.
Oh shit, oh shit.
So that's why I came up.
I was like shame, shame shame,shame, shame, shame.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (15:59):
It needed to happen.
I hate myself.
It's fine I was shaming more.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
The question.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
That's shaming with this question, it's actually a
lovely question.
Oh good, okay it's if you couldbe any whiskey what would you
be and why?
Speaker 9 (16:13):
Oh, oh, shit, shit.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I'm not familiar with it?

I'll tell you what I would beyeah, no.
Speaker 9 (16:23):
Wee-beasty Wee-beasty Because I love that one.
It's hard, it's kind of mean,but it's very enjoyable.
But you kind of have to getused to it.
And it's not anythingprecocious, it's very simple,
it's not very expensive.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
But it's got a lot of things going on.
Speaker 9 (16:43):
Wee-beasty that I think that would be nice.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
It's like the forest gump of.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
Yeah, it's kind of mildly the hard word that we
can't use anymore.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
The forest gump.
Speaker 9 (16:50):
And yeah, that's me.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Okay, wow, glad to see that.
Taking that Pamela, I like awee-beasty, but okay, I don't

I think that's actually quite ahard question.
Who'd be that question in howdare you?
How dare you?
Speaker 9 (17:04):
Someone that's willing to step up.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
I think it would be.
I think it would be anay-lo-wesky, probably just
because of that vila connection.
For me, maybe Port Charlotte,because I love that area of
ay-lo.
Love a piti-wesky.
It's not your brick-laddies.
It's a little bit different,right, it's a little bit
different.
I think I'd go with PortCharlotte, what about?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
you.
I would be you know what.
I would probably be something.
I would be like a Khalila.
I would be like a little bit.
I want a little oil like thelegs, you know what I mean Like
a little bit greasy, not sayingthat.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
I don't know what that means.
Your hairdresser Caitlin'slooking at you like Caitlin's,
like your hair.
Hello.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yeah, she put some dry shampoo in my hair earlier.

Oh, just for Myrna.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
That was nice.
I had to wear my shoes fortheir colors because I was going
to have a t-shirt.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
But their t-shirt's in the drawer, our t-shirt's
going to suck.
And they're in bank of art soif you want to support us.
You can go on Lane and Buy ourshirts, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Drambycom Guys, this is our coin.
Yay, don't talk about itanymore Yay.
So tell us a little bit aboutwhere you from You're here.
I'm from Edmonton.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
I accidentally have a husband from Scotland
Accidentally who doesn't drinkwhiskey, but I do.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Good, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what?
Guess what, even as a realAlberta girl yeah, women can
drink whiskey, it's official.
We could do it now.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
Finally.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Here's a question.
Are you ready?
Sure, here the spotlight's onyou.
Ok, if you only had one whiskeyto drink for the rest of your
life, what would it be, and why?
Speaker 6 (19:21):
So it's the Dow moral , or don't sorry, the Dow moral.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
That yes.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
So I accidentally, prior to her previous career
with Yelp, before her there wasat the taste of Edmonton, I feel
like, was they had a Scotchtasting and I took everybody's
passport that didn't drinkScotch, so I could get more
stamps and drink more Scotch.
And the one I kept going backto was this Delmore that they
(19:49):
had and I'm like, ooh, I feellike I have antlers now.
So it was my first full on.
I could drink it and drink itand drink it, apparently because
I kept taking everybody's stampthat didn't want to drink
whiskey that day.
No, the other people didn't doScotch.
I took their passports, Istamped them all with that one,
(20:11):
to the point that the girl thatwas doing it she goes.
I don't think you're allowed tohave anymore, and because you
were technically supposed tohave one, because it was really
expensive at the time, but itwas beautiful.
And my second one is and Idon't know what it's called, but
you'd have to ask mymother-in-law, who is from
Scotland.
She lives in the Highlands, nowby Ballarder, and this whiskey
(20:34):
journey started with my husband,who didn't drink whiskey.

I was about 14.
Speaker 1 (23:35):

.
Speaker 8 (23:36):
Shocking.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
And it was just like some kind of a random whiskey.
Speaker 8 (23:39):
It was my mom and dad used to do Christmas parties
all the time.
Yeah, and my sister and mewould wake up early the next day
and go down and finish all thedrinks.
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
That's amazing.
Speaker 8 (23:52):
Yeah, so now we are talking that would be the
80s-ish not to give my age away.
But liquor back then wasn'tquite what we had now.
We had very, very slim pickingscompared to all the flavors we
have now, which is why I havesuch an amazing bar Because.
I want it all.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
And you almost do you very much do I'm working hard.
Speaker 8 (24:17):
I'm trying, I'm trying, I love the hecklers in

That was it.
That was it.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Pam, do you have an answer to this query?
Speaker 4 (24:54):
You know what I was thinking about this?
Because I've spoken on thepodcast before about how the
first time I drank whiskey andwas like, oh, I like this, it
was with my granny, but it wasmixed with lemonade.
But actually when I worked in abar just a pub and glass go, I
remember trying to drink justlike a white and macaque or
something like that and I waslike, oh my god, this is
(25:14):
horrendous.
And someone was like just putwater in it and I was like I'm
going to water the hell out ofthis because this is horrible
and I put loads in.
But then I realized I was stuckwith a giant glass of just like
gross and I was trying to drinkit for a really long time and
it was awful.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
That's a great memory .
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Yeah, so there you go .
Speaker 8 (25:34):
I'm going to let you turn off whiskey I know,
Speaker 4 (25:36):
And then the granny got me back on it, so it's OK.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
God bless you, granny .

I was super overwhelmed.
Actually, the owners of theScotch Bar there's Doug and
Irene, right there from theBothy wine and whiskey bar Woo,

pronounce Brook Lottie, letalone find it on the bar.
And I finished my first shiftand I was like just kind of like
.
I was like 1,000 yards stareafter.
But then Kevin came up and he'slike good job, kid, and he like
gave me a glass of at the time,the World Whiskey of the Year

Speaker 4 (35:38):
We were like no, I'll go all in.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
We figured it out, ok .
So we said, yes, we did it, butwe had our one night of working
, but then the rest of it.
We got to enjoy this amazing itwas even one night.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
It was two hours of working.

Then we got to enjoy ourretreat and we went swimming in
a lake and it was a beautifulmoment.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
We really bonded yeah .
Speaker 4 (35:57):
The best part of that was having a chef for three

him kind of elevate it a littlebit.
He raised something like 40grand for the Edmonton Food Bank
.
It was insane.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
And it was all because of the WSCE community.

And that possibly is my favorite thing that to go
back to Caitlin's question forus one of the most amazing
things was done.

Thank you, thank you, love you.
Enjoy the rest of the night andthanks for coming out on a
Sunday.
Do you want to go to sleep?
Speaker 4 (40:09):
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
Hi all Chelsea here.
I just wanted to pop in at thetop of the show to introduce our
very first live show that werecorded at our very first
Street Spirit Festival that weput on this past July 16th.
It was definitely a funexperience, a little bit scary,
but we still want to thankeveryone for coming out.
It was amazing.
So, without further ado, let'sget to the show.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
For the one, well, for the two, and the only for
the two and the only.
Chelsea and Pamela from theDrum Find podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Well, hello everybody .
Hello, this is amazing.
First of all, can I just giveit up to Fiona over here,
probably the best MC money couldbuy.
Oh yeah, thank you guys, allfor coming.
(01:32):
This is absolutely incredible.
But first I should say I'm, myname is Chelsea and Pamela, and
this is the Drum Find podcast,the podcast where we talk about
all things.
Whiskey, yeah, and on today'sepisode we decided to do a
whiskey festival.
So, yeah, that's, that's a goodtime.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
We decided your live podcast.
We've never done one before, sothat's exciting.
Yeah, slightly terrifying.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
But why did we decide to do this Pam Like?
Why are we doing the StreetSpirit Festival?
Speaker 4 (02:06):
That's a loaded question, but do you know,
chelsea and I had a chat evenjust about when we started the
podcast three years ago?
We sat in a pub, really shapeof an, everything it's a hilltop
it's a hilltop, yeah, but it'sback, it's open again, it's back
and the hilltop and we're likewe got to do something together,
(02:29):
like we should do something.
Like how do we start a band?
We almost started a band, butthen we don't.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
We don't play me instrument.
Well, you do.
I'm just doing a very poorthing.
I do, I know, did.
I try to start a band with youtoo.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Hi, I feel cheated on you.
Sorry, sorry.
So well, we found this insteadand it worked out, but one of
our goals right at the start was, you know, like whiskey
festivals are fun but I justdon't really feel like I love
them, like they could be.
There could be more funelements to it and as a Scottish
person at whiskey festivals inCanada, I kind of felt like they
(03:03):
were a bit cringe.
Sorry, sorry to say that, but Idon't want to see Highland
Dancing every time someone has awhiskey.
No offense.
No offense Because HighlandDancing is great, but yeah.
So that's why we were like,let's do something fun, let's
have some entertainment, let's,you know, plug ourselves and get
(03:24):
a statement.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
And let's do something light-hearted and like
just easy to digest and let'sinclude just like let's.
The amount of people here, thediversity of people here is
amazing.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
It's like it's great, it blew my mind.
It blew my mind.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yeah, and also just I mean like we're not only do we
have amazing internationalbrands that are supporting us,
but we have some amazing localdistilleries that came by as
well, so it's just this likebeautiful combination of all
these things.
And so, and you wonderfulpeople, for showing up today
Like you don't know how much weappreciate you all here today,
(03:58):
so thank you.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Thank you so much.
Yes, and we've had some reallybeautiful comments from people
that have, like, almost made uscry today, like there was a
lovely lady came up to me andsaid you know, I've been into
whiskey for 20 odd years andI've been so, like, kind of
scared to go to a whiskeytasting and never wanted to go,
but this has made me feel likeso approachable and that's what
(04:21):
we're all about.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so today.
So we are doing it's.
You know, we're going to makethis a little casual.
We're not going to do like abig intensive, educational like
breakdown on like independentbottling or something today.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
We're just going to do season two, episode four yeah
, Actually I don't know ifthat's true.
Speaker 1 (04:44):

because you guys, the Emmett andwhiskey community, is so
amazing, we want to include youguys as well.

differently.
I think you know you guys arepushing the envelope in terms of
, like, what a whiskey festivallooks like.
I'm 100% a part of that,because I really want to ride on
those coattails.
Like I feel like it's so niceto have that's what it is for
(07:45):
the draft lawyer, that's right.
That's right, and it feels likethat guy, it's like a real
sense of community here, like.
So this has been such a great,great time and thank you for
reaching out and let's do itagain.
Okay, oh, yes, yes.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Well, I have a background actually on that.
I wrote the proposal for thisfestival and was like I just
need some advice on it.
I'm going to send it to mylovely friend.
Jamie, just to see if she hasany edits or anything like that
or anything she thinks I shouldchange.
And she didn't make any changes.
She just sent it to her bossand then wrote back saying we'll
take the platinum sponsor.
And we were like, don't be, Iguess it's not this.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
Whatever they do, I want to be a part of it.
Speaker 4 (08:25):

all you are just shadows, so Idon't know who's talking.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
I know I can't see.
I know I love it.
It's great.
It's great have you here'sanother question have you ever
opened for a?
Speaker 7 (08:56):
drag queen.
Oh yeah, never, not once, never.
And I was so happy Dram fightis for the draft fight.
It was nice Like I feel likeit's hard to like open for a
drag queen and so like becauseit's so much more glamorous than
like I'm a little sweaty uphere and stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
So like it was nice to have a little glamour on the
stage after me so it was greatand the newest paper was meeting
her color.
She was in yellow and pink.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
See, it's the attention to detail.
It's the attention to detail.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I think it's harder to follow a drag queen.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yeah, this is for Rachel.
Yeah, so this is low energyYou're doing great, we're trying
our best.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Okay, I think we're ready.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Let's get into these queries.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
So um where are they?
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Oh, they're on the jar.
You've got everyone's gotquestions.
Yeah, I put one in there too.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Did you?
Yeah, I did.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Oh, okay.
So this first question.
I don't know who wrote it, butthank you for writing it.
What, in your opinion, is thebiggest influence on your love
of whiskey?
Who's going first?
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Me yes, no, jamie, jamie that's my question.
It's literally my question.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I wrote that no, I'm not even kidding you, like you
literally picked my question andyou have to answer it.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
Oh, now I've really done it Medicine piece bitter.
Um, honestly, I really do thinkit's that sense of community
Like for me, like I learned somuch every time I come to a
whiskey festival, and not justfrom ambassadors or distillers
or blenders that are there, Likeit's from the community who you
sort of connect with throughout.
You know, I'm lucky enough Iget to go all across Canada and
(10:30):
I see so many familiar faces allover and I think that for me
has been like the best sort oflike most invigorating impact on
my whiskey like journey forsure.
The community.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
You guys, yeah, you guys.
You guys, and the Edmontonwhiskey community I'm sorry, top
, they're out there, tip, top,they're amazing.
So many of them came out tosupport us tonight as well.
Yeah, she's been amazing.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Kent and Cheryl.
Kent and Cheryl.
Where are you, you guys, one ofthese days, oh there, oh, my
god, there are the girls I sawoff.
Yes, yeah, one of these daysI'm going to go to the one of
the fires, I promise, if anyoneknows anything I've been.
I've been, yeah, I'll be thereone day.
I think my answer would have tobe the same.
I think it's the community, butI also love the history and
(11:14):
even the science behind it andthe fact when you have a, like a
20 year old whiskey, the factthat it's it took at least 20
years and it traveled thousandsof miles to get right in front
of you and it's.
There's nothing kind ofromantic about that.
You know what I mean, andthere's not many things to
really like be romantic aboutthese days, so why not indulge
in?
You know, an ex-muski?
Speaker 4 (11:34):
That's nice.
Yeah, right, both good answers,both great, both great answers,
thank you.
I honestly like to see whatlike sustainability and I should
have something followed, and Ilike to see what people are like
kind of changing things up andwhen people are kind of going
against the gradient andsomething about new always came
to light.
Yep, yes, my interest a littlebit, but, yeah, community is
number one.
Obviously you guys Love thatAwesome.
Yeah, you guys.
(11:55):
What a great question.
Yeah great.

It's a hard one.
Speaker 9 (15:32):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
No, I'm just kidding.
I'm pretty simple.
Speaker 9 (15:35):
Yeah, you tip the bartender's $150.
That's what you do.
Yeah, you just give them abunch of money and feel bad
about yourself.
I broke a bottle earlier.
Yeah, that was me.
Yeah, that was you.
Oh shit, oh shit.
So that's why I came up.
I was like shame, shame shame,shame, shame, shame.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (15:59):
It needed to happen.
I hate myself.
It's fine I was shaming more.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
The question.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
That's shaming with this question, it's actually a
lovely question.
Oh good, okay it's if you couldbe any whiskey what would you
be and why?
Speaker 9 (16:13):
Oh, oh, shit, shit.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I'm not familiar with it?

I'll tell you what I would beyeah, no.
Speaker 9 (16:23):
Wee-beasty Wee-beasty Because I love that one.
It's hard, it's kind of mean,but it's very enjoyable.
But you kind of have to getused to it.
And it's not anythingprecocious, it's very simple,
it's not very expensive.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
But it's got a lot of things going on.
Speaker 9 (16:43):
Wee-beasty that I think that would be nice.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
It's like the forest gump of.
Speaker 9 (16:46):

can't use anymore.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
The forest gump.
Speaker 9 (16:50):
And yeah, that's me.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Okay, wow, glad to see that.
Taking that Pamela, I like awee-beasty, but okay, I don't

I think that's actually quite ahard question.
Who'd be that question in howdare you?
How dare you?
Speaker 9 (17:04):
Someone that's willing to step up.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
I think it would be.
I think it would be anay-lo-wesky, probably just
because of that vila connection.
For me, maybe Port Charlotte,because I love that area of
ay-lo.
Love a piti-wesky.
It's not your brick-laddies.
It's a little bit different,right, it's a little bit
different.
I think I'd go with PortCharlotte, what about?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
you.
I would be you know what.
I would probably be something.
I would be like a Khalila.
I would be like a little bit.
I want a little oil like thelegs, you know what I mean Like
a little bit greasy, not sayingthat.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
I don't know what that means.
Your hairdresser Caitlin'slooking at you like Caitlin's,
like your hair.
Hello.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yeah, she put some dry shampoo in my hair earlier.
So I'm just going to say,khalila, because, yeah, and it's
delicious, just like you.

All right, good question.
Thank you so much, james.
All right, thank you.
Thank you for indulging us.
Speaker 4 (18:09):

Oh, just for Myrna.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
That was nice.
I had to wear my shoes fortheir colors because I was going
to have a t-shirt.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
But their t-shirt's in the drawer, our t-shirt's
going to suck.
And they're in bank of art soif you want to support us.
You can go on Lane and Buy ourshirts, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Drambycom Guys, this is our coin.
Yay, don't talk about itanymore Yay.
So tell us a little bit aboutwhere you from You're here.
I'm from Edmonton.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
I accidentally have a husband from Scotland
Accidentally who doesn't drinkwhiskey, but I do.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Good, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what?
Guess what, even as a realAlberta girl yeah, women can
drink whiskey, it's official.
We could do it now.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
Finally.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Here's a question.
Are you ready?
Sure, here the spotlight's onyou.
Ok, if you only had one whiskeyto drink for the rest of your
life, what would it be, and why?
Speaker 6 (19:21):
So it's the Dow moral , or don't sorry, the Dow moral.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
That yes.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
So I accidentally, prior to her previous career
with Yelp, before her there wasat the taste of Edmonton, I feel
like, was they had a Scotchtasting and I took everybody's
passport that didn't drinkScotch, so I could get more
stamps and drink more Scotch.
And the one I kept going backto was this Delmore that they
(19:49):
had and I'm like, ooh, I feellike I have antlers now.
So it was my first full on.
I could drink it and drink itand drink it, apparently because
I kept taking everybody's stampthat didn't want to drink
whiskey that day.
No, the other people didn't doScotch.
I took their passports, Istamped them all with that one,
(20:11):
to the point that the girl thatwas doing it she goes.
I don't think you're allowed tohave anymore, and because you
were technically supposed tohave one, because it was really
expensive at the time, but itwas beautiful.
And my second one is and Idon't know what it's called, but
you'd have to ask mymother-in-law, who is from
Scotland.
She lives in the Highlands, nowby Ballarder, and this whiskey
(20:34):
journey started with my husband,who didn't drink whiskey.
So at our 10-year vow renewal Isent my husband home with the
children and then drankexcessively with my
sister-in-law and mymother-in-law, who do drink
whiskey, and so my husband wenthome and, whatever that one was,
(20:55):
that was my second favorite.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Whoever it was, canoes, canoes.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
That's a great story.

I was about 14.
Speaker 1 (23:35):

.
Speaker 8 (23:36):
Shocking.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
And it was just like some kind of a random whiskey.
Speaker 8 (23:39):
It was my mom and dad used to do Christmas parties
all the time.
Yeah, and my sister and mewould wake up early the next day
and go down and finish all thedrinks.
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
That's amazing.
Speaker 8 (23:52):
Yeah, so now we are talking that would be the
80s-ish not to give my age away.
But liquor back then wasn'tquite what we had now.
We had very, very slim pickingscompared to all the flavors we
have now, which is why I havesuch an amazing bar Because.
I want it all.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
And you almost do you very much do I'm working hard.
Speaker 8 (24:17):
I'm trying, I'm trying, I love the hecklers in
here.
Speaker 4 (24:21):

Fire one time it was reallycool he's like what do you want?
Pick something.
I was like I literally cannotpick and I don't know what to
pick.

Stand on Come.
That was it.
That was it.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Pam, do you have an answer to this query?
Speaker 4 (24:54):
You know what I was thinking about this?
Because I've spoken on thepodcast before about how the
first time I drank whiskey andwas like, oh, I like this, it
was with my granny, but it wasmixed with lemonade.
But actually when I worked in abar just a pub and glass go, I
remember trying to drink justlike a white and macaque or
something like that and I waslike, oh my god, this is
(25:14):
horrendous.
And someone was like just putwater in it and I was like I'm
going to water the hell out ofthis because this is horrible
and I put loads in.
But then I realized I was stuckwith a giant glass of just like
gross and I was trying to drinkit for a really long time and
it was awful.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
That's a great memory .
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Yeah, so there you go .
Speaker 8 (25:34):
I'm going to let you turn off whiskey I know,
Speaker 4 (25:36):
And then the granny got me back on it, so it's OK.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
God bless you, granny .
Kevin Ostepec, here Is he stillhere, so I left him.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
He's great, but I was working out of Scotch Bar.
I was super overwhelmed.
Actually, the owners of theScotch Bar there's Doug and
Irene, right there from theBothy wine and whiskey bar Woo,
but he doesn't get any betterthan the selection there.
They were loving the drag showearlier.

pronounce Brook Lottie, letalone find it on the bar.
And I finished my first shiftand I was like just kind of like
.
I was like 1,000 yards stareafter.
But then Kevin came up and he'slike good job, kid, and he like
gave me a glass of at the time,the World Whiskey of the Year

We got to enjoy this amazing itwas even one night.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
It was two hours of working.

Then we got to enjoy ourretreat and we went swimming in

Speaker 1 (35:55):

him kind of elevate it a littlebit.
He raised something like 40grand for the Edmonton Food Bank
.
It was insane.
Speaker 1 (37:09):

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
