No, we're in Fayetteville.
We've got a nice little logcabin right off the river Room
for the dogs to run and notbother anybody.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
I imagine there's probably no rooms anywhere in
Lynchburg for the next fouryears.
I wonder.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
I bet they sell out quick.
Have you ever stayed in theLynchburg one?
For this.
Yeah for this.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Like you said, said they're booked up.
The people that I'm booked uptwo, three years out, anything
around here is probably bookedup dang and then the place that
we used, that we originallythat's what I was about to say,
because you were talking about acabin.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Have you ever stayed at that cabin just up the road
over here?
Okay, no, so there's the firsttime staying at the cabin yeah,
okay, it's nice we checked in.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
I got everything unpacked and told everybody bye
and came into town.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yes, you were just like a local, though that's what
I love it about you well, youcan't you know, you know, you
know everybody.
And so what have you done?
You know you're doing thepodcast, now what have you done
before this?

Speaker 3 (02:40):
you hung out with anybody no, uh, I mean, I
usually just come to town and,like me and my wife, they say
opposites attract and so whenpeople start hey, she goes off
somewhere, she's like I'm goneand she's.
She's off doing her own thingor taking the kids.
But um, but no, it's just, Ijust, I mean you could drop me
off there on a thursday withnothing to do and I would just

(03:02):
walk around.
I mean just the contrastbetween Lynchburg and Memphis is
you?
You there's, you're on theopposite end.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
I know we were trying to get you to come down here.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Like, move, actually move one day, one day, one day,
that's really the go one dayyeah, right now my dad's getting
open his years, and so I can'tbe four hours away and something
happens yeah, yeah, yeah, I gotyou, I got you.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
He come with you this trip.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
No, he didn't no, he, he, uh.
This is too much walking forhim.
He's like last time I come downthere, there wasn't enough
places to sit down.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yeah, he was wore out at the.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Yeah, he was yeah, he got his first taste of the
wager and he's like that, thinkthat's enough for me that was so
.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
That was the first time he'd ever this year going
to the wider yeah that's thefirst time he's ever.
He had no idea what to expectis your dad big into whiskey,
like jack daniels, like you arenow.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
Uh, it's frustrating sometimes because, like I'm not
the guy that can pick up abottle.
I'm like, oh, I got vanilla andtobacco you know notes and
stuff like it's good or it's not, but I can.
You can give me five bottlesand I can taste the difference.
I'll come in there and I'll belike man, this is so good, dad,
try it, and he'll taste likewhiskey.
I'll never take you to atasting, you would just run

(04:15):
everybody out.
He does have.
He could probably fill up thiswhole table with all the open
bottles that he's got at hishouse and then just vodka and
cherry, this or this, and he'llopen something.
He'll drink about two inchesout of it and leave it there and
it may sit there for four yearsbefore he touches it again have
you?

Speaker 1 (04:33):
so you're talking about like with the taste and
everything, because that's onething I was like how do they do
that with the taste testers whenthey're picking barrels out
like single barrels?
Have you ever been somethinglike that?
Yeah, because they'll trythey'll try, oh really yeah oh,
I didn't know that it's got hisown little sweetness.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
It's got my own little name on it and everything
and I put the sticker on mywife likes the sticker bottle.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
So we, of course, if we bought a barrel, we had to
put the sticker on it.
But um, yeah, they'll pick youout three barrels and they're.
They're each one's a little bitdifferent and so you know you
just taste them, and usuallyyour taster whoever's your
tasting guide will tell you howto taste it and stuff, because
most people don't know.
But um, yeah, and you?

(05:15):
You just sit there and you sipa little bit of this.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
I was about to say you can take a couple swallers
yeah, and like you candefinitely tell.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Like like these here, I've got got probably 15 cases
in my bedroom right now and I'llbe drinking something else and
I'm like I'm not going to theliquor store.
I'll go in there and I'll popone of them open and you sit
down and it's just a totallydifferent taste.
But yeah, you can taste it Likeyou've got your sweet and your
spicy and your oaky and stuff.

(05:42):
And I've never been one personthat can sit there and pick up a
bottle and give you a profile.
But you know you sit down,especially somebody like goose
or randall that's been doingthis for yeah, 400 years they
can.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Did you go on one with them?

Speaker 3 (05:55):
I have been on one with goose oh, that's amazing.
Yeah, man right, I think,either right before, right after
his retirement oh, that'sawesome and so like I got.
I snagged him up before he thegrandkids yeah, before he could
retire.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
How do they do it?
I can't I, I can't everremember.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
So they have to take them all out of the bottle or
the barrel, pretty much when youwhen you go to the taste and
for the most well, for thesingle barrels you can pretty
much bet they're already bottled.
They take that barrel, theybottle it and then they bring
you a, a little pint bottle, theyou know three different
barrels, and then everybody getsa little tasting of it and they

(06:31):
go through how to taste it and,um, you know you pick the one
that you like.
When you pick it they go backthere and they send that pallet
to your liquor store and thenyou go pretty much they have to
sell it to the liquor store.
Liquor store sells it to you.
But if you pick out, if you'redoing a like a barrel proof or a
barrel proof rye, you pull itstraight from the barrel and so

(06:52):
you know you get little chunksand all I mean just straight
from the barrel.
And I haven't been able to dothat yet.
That's next on the list but,yeah, when it was a great
feeling going to my liquor storeand driving out my wife's
little suv with 47 cases ofbooze in the back.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
That poor, poor suv was squatting so hard you hit a
speed bump and the bottom of thething would bottom out.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
I'm like, oh, I better slow down but yeah you,
you pull up in the driveway andyou're going in two cases at a
time and you're all man, you getit all in there and you're
looking.
I was like that's all mine, man.
Twelve thousand dollars, man,my wife would kill me.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
How much?
How much do you have left?
Do you think?

Speaker 3 (07:35):
um, we, like I said we start off with counting what
I brought with me today um about15 cases left and uh, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah uh, a year anda half I have been this like

(07:56):
this is definitely something onmy bucket list.
And so years ago I would sitthere and I would count down how
many months till I turned 40and I would take 12 000
divided'm like I need to put$179 away every week.
And then, closer I'd get to it,I'm like, oh, it's like $204
every week and I can buy a wholebarrel.
Well, my wife's like, if you'regoing to do it, let's do it.
And so, you know, at the time Iwas selling firewood, working

(08:19):
overtime.
And then you know, the page hasbrought me more, uh, publicity
and, I guess, credibility.
So if I sell something, there'sfewer people wondering if it's
legit or not because you knowthe reputation behind, I guess
my name, and you know peopletrust me and people all the time
right hey, what's this worth?
or what about this and stuff?

(08:40):
And if I don't know somethingI'll figure it out.
But I would sell things that I.
You know it was my.
I'm limited to our littledining room and it's getting
cluttered.
So, like today, I brought alittle car full of stuff to sell
because I'm running out of room, but we sold enough and we
finally got the money togetherand did it.
It was 12 250.

(09:00):
I got the receipt at homeframed.
It's the most I've ever spentat the liquor store.
It's twelve thousand twohundred and fifty something
dollars.
And the cool thing is, like Isaid, they sell it to your
liquor store and your liquorstore.
It's up to them of what they'regoing to add to that.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
You know, like oh, so they try, yeah, add their own
fees and everything.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
So he, he's like look man, you know I, I he's a
little bitty store and I'mliterally if I'm not buying it
here and it's not a collectorbottle from 19 whatever.
I'm buying it from him, so hegets all my business.
And he was very generous andsaid look, I'm just gonna
whatever tax is.
So I got it pretty much at hiscost and uh, yeah we went up

(09:39):
there and shoved $47 or 47 casesin the back of a Chevy
Trailblazer.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Drove it home.
Well, you do.
That's freaking your wife's,amazing though she is.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
You know I was about to say I have the best wife in
the world.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
I was about to say Shout out to your wife, because
that's freaking awesome, let memake sure that the notes got
there.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Okay, it says best wife ever.
Okay, good, I can show her that.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
I'm going to go home and be like Caleb I'm going to
buy a barrel of whiskey and getit delivered to Luke and Lola.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
You go to work Monday ?
Yes, okay, so just make sureshe hits you tonight.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
so it's gone before you go to work Monday and nobody
sees that shiner, that's right.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Scott Lawson said if we give you five bottles, you'll
take the clothes off.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
No, nobody wants to see that.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
I promise you that's been the most you've spent on
bottles together.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
At once, at once.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Okay, what about just for one bottle of Jack Daniels?
How much have you spent justfor one?

Speaker 3 (10:42):
I guess the most expensive item I have that I've
ever spent money on is probablyan original jug, and then you've
got the 1895 and 1870 bottles,which of course they're empty
over there.
It would be $10,000.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
But I think actually going to the liquor store and
buying it probably less than$200 my gosh.
Yeah, man, what I was about tosay uh, you were talking about
the eight, wait the 18.
Yeah, because of your facebookpage, people post.
I see that people post bottlesthat they have empty or full.
You know, has it?
Have you ever seen one full?
Yeah, they got a square house.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
You go, go to the mottler house, they've got and
they got them there yeah, theyare actually sealed.
They got the nice little tin uhcap on it's, corked with the
little tin cap on it and uh,they got some of them got the
labels, like I've got, uh, twoof the 1895s.
One of them was apparently in afire and I mean it.
If you don't look at it realhard you won't see it, but if
you look at it it's kind ofcrooked.

(11:49):
But if you look at it from theright angle you can see where
the label is actually burnt intothe glass.
I was trying to clean it off.
I thought it was just oh, yeah,a lot of it.
But I look at it and I was likeit says old time whiskey, and
then you see berg over here, soit was actually in a fire but um
, but yeah, they've got them.
There was, um, there's a fellowin australia, uh, who has one,

(12:14):
and uh, but yeah, the squirehouse has a few of them.
Um, they call it to 1895 but itgoes from 1895.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
oh, so it's, it's a span, it's just that design
bottle.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
I got you, but yeah, they've got them in there.
It's actually still got theactual paper label and sealed
full.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
What about the Prohibition stuff?
See, I don't know much about.
Was there anything made in For?

Speaker 3 (12:37):
medicinal use.
That's my excuse.
My wife says I'm sick in thehead so I have to have my
medicinal whiskey here.
Uh, but yeah, jack had aspecial or not, jack is actually
the mottlow, but they had aspecial.
Um, during prohibition theycould make medicinal whiskey.
And you get a prescription fromyour doctor and says yeah, you

(12:59):
need to drink okay so, um,there's, uh, it's a, it's a
black label.
Not it's a black label, but um,yeah, some of the older bottles
and some of the older signs thatthey used to put out with.
If you look on the bottom of itsays for medicinal purposes.
Um, I was gonna look this up.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
What are we doing?
See, I didn't even.
There it is yeah, hit imagessee if we can pull one of these
up uh, you're gonna hit thethat's.
That's the pro.
Is it hit?

Speaker 3 (13:29):
uh jack daniel's medicinal or uh medicinal
whiskey, and it'll show you.
It says on the on the label uhgod, I couldn't tell you the
spin m-a-d-i why don't you have?
I don't correct.
There you go.
Let's see that was close.
Take prohibition off.

(13:49):
There you go.
I think that's what's missing.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Yeah, yeah, it's going to be a little.
Would it be like Lim Molo?

Speaker 3 (14:03):
No it was it's a there you go See.
Was it's a there you go seethat one right there.
That's what you need to lookfor.
That.
That's the uh reproductionthing.
But it says down here forbottled exclusively for
medicinal use, see right thereoh yeah, so it's the black light
.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
It's the black light, it's an old black label.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
They're really beautiful labels back in the day
but yeah you could.
They're in prohibition.
They very, very little whiskeywas made but it was for
medicinal use and I'm prettysure a lot of that other use and
friends and family that's whatI've been drinking which one, my
coke right there, the bottledand bond oh the ball, oh the

(14:39):
bond, right here no, the blueone oh that, yeah, you're
drinking that with a coke?

Speaker 1 (14:44):
nope, no, that's the single malt no, no, this is,
this is the oh, I know which oneyou're talking about, that's
the triple mash, bonded, bondedthat triple mash is something
amazing, that's.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
That's.
That was until I bought my ownbarrel of whiskey and I had just
cases laying around the housethat triple mash is fantastic.
So it's a little bit of thatand a little bit of that and a
little, and it all in tripledash, do you?

Speaker 2 (15:08):
drink like the jack apple and cinnamon.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
No.
So no liqueur and everythingfor you.
Hell, no.
What about if they come outwith peach?
Because I think that's thefirst, I think that's the next
one.
I mean, they were kind of on aroll with it, and then because
they come out with honey, whichhoney's been huge with the women
.
I mean not going to lie, I meanit's been huge.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
I think the honey is Honey's all right.
I like the apple just because Ilike apple-flavored stuff.
Or cinnamon Cinnamon Out of thethree, cinnamon would be my
favorite Everyone hates cinnamon.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
No, out of the three, cinnamon would be my favorite.
I don't like the honey has kindof an artificial flavor, the
apple's too sweet.
But if I do, if you, if you doit right, you get.
I think what thing it's?
One part cinnamon and two partsapple is the apple pie yeah,
that sounds good oh, who was it?
One of the one of the tourguides told me about that and I

(15:57):
went home and I had just calleddusty and asking menu boo coos
minis at the house and I tookone cinnamon and two apples,
mixed them together.
It's still too sweet.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Arthur Sneeden howdy from Arizona and he's moving to
Lynchburg.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
Hell yeah.
Does he have a father-in-lawsuite that I can spend the night
at?

Speaker 2 (16:18):
See, I don't do.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Junior Burdick cinnamon would be the fire.
I don't do the Jack.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Fire, just because it reminds me too much of Fireball
.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Everyone says that what do you think?
What do you think?
What do you think Burroughs Isthat?

Speaker 2 (16:30):
accurate.
There's probably a differenttaste, but I guess it's just the
head game.
I've drunk so much Fireball inmy lifetime.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
I got you, I got you, yeah, I got you.
When I do the honey, I likejust um, what is it?
Brits lemonade?
Yeah, and I just throw that inthere fireball.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
Oh, anybody who, anybody over?
Anybody over 25 drinkingfireball has some needs to see a
doctor or something.
That stuff is terrible, likethat.
Was the stuff back into that,was it that puckers uh?

Speaker 2 (16:59):
full of sugar mad dog 2020.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
Yeah, worst hanger ever.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
No, you've had Mad Dog 2020, right, benji?
Did we talk about this one?
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (17:07):
yeah, I think we did.
Yeah, yeah, I had Mad Dog onetime and that was it.
You've introduced me, honestly,to the worst shit when it comes
to alcohol I've ever had.
Remember those little thingiesthat you.
Oh, those bootleggers Damn.
Oh my gosh.
One time we were on the podcastand this was thank God before it
was live.
But these little things I'mlike, oh man, these are pretty

(17:29):
good and everything.
Those are awful the next day,the next day it was like the
country cocktails.
I love those country cocktailsoh, yeah, yeah, yeah, when we go
to the beach.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
I know I'm going to be hot and dehydrated not to
drink yeah hard liquor right, soI'm like I'll hit the gas
station or whatever and grab meand they, for whatever reason,
they don't have the cherry thecherry limeade in tennessee that
I can ever find, unless I cometo lynchburg, like that's the
only one I love and I can't findit.
So if I'm out of town I'll grabit and I'll be at the beach and

(18:00):
then the next day I'm sleepinguntil noon with the worst
headache ever do you drink the,the pre-made?

Speaker 2 (18:05):
cans, I'll try them no I just don't yeah the actual
jack and cut the one they cameout with jack and I can coke.
Coke, yeah, not jack, that'sthe best out of them, but
there's the party pack.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
But yeah, this is what you're these.
So they got jack and cola cola.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
No, that's like rc cola, that's like.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
RC.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
Cola, the one below it right there, that Jack and
Coke, that one yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
That one is actually the best out of all of them.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
But no, I can buy me a two liter in a bottle and do
it better.
The party pack I didn't evenknow about Because they usually
come in glass.
I think Chuck's actually gotthe dark Cola ones.
Yeah, he's got a lot of themover there, Back there in the
back.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
Those and then they come out with the teas recently.
They're hard teas.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Oh, I didn't know that.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
Yeah, they got them over at the hardware store.
They're okay yeah.

Okay, yeah, he's looking over there, original
hard tea, peach hard tea.

it home.
Each night I would pop three ofthose, but let's see, was it?
Raspberry was okay, you'retalking about peach.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Yeah, yeah See, I knew he had one.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
We are definitely not rating Chuck's refrigerator at
the moment.

Speaker 2 (19:23):

everything.
He's asleep.

Yeah, 35.
Well, 24 pack.

Yeah, the down home punch forthe cocktails is I mean they're
great, they're great if you'reat the beach or at a tailgating
or whatever.
I wonder how much alcohol?
What does that say?
5%, 5%.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
Yeah, good enough to get you a headache.
Yeah, yeah, but as far as thesugary stuff, I don't know.
I guess I've had enoughhangovers in my life.
I'm done with that.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, the sweet stuff will Drink the hard stuff.
I'm done with that.
Yeah, the sweet stuff will.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
Drink the hard stuff.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Makes the pain go away.
Just a good old neat glass ofwhiskey.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
Okay so do you mix Jack Daniels, or is it just
always straight for Barrel House?
I will have the occasional Jackand Coke.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
I'm getting really close to 40, so I'm trying to
watch my sugar intake.
What is it?
Not the diet, but zero sugarCoke.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
No, no, zero sugar, nothing.
My mama was a big diet Cokeperson.
I remember that's all thatwould be in the fridge and I
tried it and it just tasted likeit had been in the back of a
pickup truck for a week and ahalf.
I can't do no diet, zero sugar,none of that stuff.
But um, now my wife, years agoum, you see, years ago, two
years ago maybe she bought methis big ice rubber ice tray and

(20:53):
it makes these giant like twoinch cube ice.
So I'll get my drinking cup andI'll put one cube in there and
I'll make it float and that's it.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
I got the.
I got the circle, you got thecircly ones.
That's always split in halfreally not mine hasn't.
And I've also got the uh theset.
I want it like dirty sand, likeyears ago.
I've never used it, but it'sgot the steel ice cubes oh,
those are cool.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
They look fancy, but now they don't last what about,
uh, have y'all ever tried thesmoke for the whiskey?
I know, I know that was kind ofa thing and I've seen it on
tiktok, where they're like takethe wood and smoke the wood have
you done?

Speaker 3 (21:31):
you go over here and something like that lynchburg
distillery in the square and getyou a smoked old-fashioned.
It is the best thing you willever have.
I mean it's amazing and like Igo over there and you know it's,
it's, it's a dry county, it's atasting.
You know the maximum of twosand I even tried going out there

(21:52):
changing my hat and my shirtand sitting on the other side.
They always catch me.
But like those are amazing,those smoked little fashion my
wife bought me a smoking kit.
I can't remember, I think it'sfor my birthday and it's just
one of the cheap ones off amazon.
But they send you like nine orten different little tens of, uh
, applewood and hickory wood andcherry wood and I'll smoke it

(22:14):
up and you know I love it.
And so for a while there I waspeeling lemons and had cherries
and stuff like that and and ohshe would get mad she'd come and
I was like it smells likesomething's on fire.
I'm like, yeah, my cup, try.
So the cherries and stuff likethat, and and oh she would get
mad she'd come in.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
I was like it smells like something's on fire.
I'm like, yeah, my cup, try.
So the cherries and whiskey orbourbon, whichever delicious,
especially a little splash ofcherry juice in it that's, yeah,
that that sounds good yeah, Ihad a uh.
I drank a whole bottle of uh,of what was it?

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Apparently, it was good.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
if you can't remember , Was it what with dickle?
No it wasn't dickle.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Oh, it was.
Hang on, I'll tell you hang on.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
What about so Green Label?
Do you have any Green Labelsanymore?

Speaker 3 (22:59):
Is that something kind of fiddling out?
Well, when they discontinued it.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
So it is discontinued ?
Yeah, only a year ago.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
I can't remember how many years ago, but yeah, they
cut that off.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
I'm sure you've got your bottles.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
Woodford Reserve.
That's good stuff.
Yeah, me and my wife we pulledout of our neighborhood and went
separate ways and she boughteverything on this end of the
street and I bought everythingon that, everything on this end
of the street and I boughteverything on that.
So we've got probably a caseand a half at the house.
But yeah, that was I guess thatwas for me when growing up, you
know, when you got 20 in yourpocket and you got somebody old

(23:33):
enough to go to the liquor storeand like, can you get me some
jack and green labels?

Speaker 1 (23:38):
five hours I was about to say don't, hey, don't
throw that green label.
Don't throw that green labelunder the bus.
Hey, if it was between blackand green, I'm going green.
Yes, $5 cheaper, I'm goinggreen $5 cheaper, I'm going
green.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
I think I'd probably go original and black label,
just because that's what I wouldput in my Coke was the black
label.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Now, okay, you're skipping out on the $5, but
you're getting more of that oaky.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
It's sweeter 15, 16, which I definitely was not
drinking at that age.
But at 15, 16 years old, you'renot going straight into the
hard stuff.
Well, not the hard stuff, theoaky smoky type stuff.
You're weaning yourself out inthere.
Green Label was there for you.

(24:20):
You get past the sugary craplike Puckers and Mad Dog and
stuff and you start getting thereal whiskey.
Green Label is a lot lighterand $5 cheaper Will said yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Green Label is the OG Thoughts on.
Let's see Junior Burdickthoughts on the 10 and 12 year.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
Oh, that's so good I wish they would I wish they are
making it more readily available.
Each year it goes along, butyou know you got.
The problem is, liquor storesknow that this is a very limited
run and msrp might be 90 bucks,but they know that they can
probably charge 200 bucks andthey're still going to sell it.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
I actually went into one of the liquor stores that I
had regularly visited.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
I mean, they're walking distance from my house.
I walked in there and actuallyI called them ahead of time and
I said can you all put me on thelist if you all get some 10 and
12?
It was the first year for 12.
And they said, yeah, we'll putyou on the list.
Well, they called me and saidwe got it in.
I said, all right, cool, I showup and they go over there and
they grab it from behind thecounter Boop, 12-year, $4.99.

(25:30):
I thought they were messingwith me.
They were, for real, wanting$400 and $500 from the liquor
store.
I'm like no, I left there and Iwent to my liquor store, Timber
Creek.
I think it was like $95, $105.
I was like that's way better.
The special releases they knowthat they can jack the like the
coy hill that they just came outwith, it hasn't well?

(25:51):
It started hitting memphis somestores, but you know they've
already got stores asking three,four hundred dollars for it
because they know that's whatpeople will buy for 90 bucks,
then put it on the secondarymarket for five times that so
which one do you think?

Speaker 1 (26:03):
is it 10 or 12 that you would go with?

Speaker 3 (26:05):
12 years is 107.
I think, yeah, 107 proof.
10 years, 97 proof.
But I don't know.
Both of them are pretty good.
That 100 proof area is kind ofmy sweet spot you get the, the
cool hill stuff.
I mean you're getting 120, 140,150.
That just burns your tongue tome, but that 100, 107 spot,

(26:31):
that's a sweet spot.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
So either works for me.
And what were y'all talkingabout the lawn before we started
the show?
Right before the show, you weretalking about the lawn.
Oh, the campout.
Which one?
Yeah, the campout.
What were y'all talking?
Yeah, I wasn't paying attention.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
A couple weeks ago they released the Koi Hill down
at the White Rabbit and therewas 100, 125 bottles or 300, 325
bottles available.
And you know, of course, if youget it at the distillery they
give you the little tag andeverything.
But yeah, I think it was on aWednesday.

(27:06):
People were starting to campout Tuesday morning and so from
the White Rabbit Bottle Shopdown the bridge and up the
street, yeah, they were campingout.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
They can camp there.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
They just let them they would bring a chair and sit
out there and sleep in theirchair.
I always told everybody I waslike ain't no way in hell I'm
going to be out there, campedout for no bottle.
But it kind of looks fun yeahit.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
I mean, there's been times I've seen I don't know if
it was the 10 or 12 when peoplewere out there and it was like
in the winter time or it wassuper cold and I'm like people
had a little bonfire out therekeeping them warm.
So, as a whiskey connoisseuryourself, okay, someone wanting
to get started in this journey.
They're grown up, they'regetting grown up, they're tired

(27:53):
of all the sugar crap.
They're wanting to go towhiskey.
How should they do it?
Should they start?
Did you start with one label,like Jack Daniels, or should you
try multiple ones?
And then pick between what'sthe strategy.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
What is you?
I guess my grown-up lifestarted when we bought our first
house, so 2011,.
Let's see how old was I 26.
So I was about 26.
We bought our first house and,of course, most people in that
age that drink a lot, they puttheir empties up on top of the

(28:31):
cabinets in the kitchen.
So you got all these empties,your trophies.
And so at some point about 2014, 2015,.
I decided, like I'm going to goto the liquor store and I'm
going to buy one of every singlething Jack Daniel has, and I
put that up there, and so whenmy bar went empty, I'd go over
there and I'd pull that off andthen I would replace it, and

(28:51):
then, as jack came out withdifferent bottles I think that
was about the same time theystarted the uh, the master
distiller series.
I would do this seven I startedeither the second or third one
they came out with about thattime.
I would buy those and then theywould come out with something
new and I would always make surethat I kept one up there and it
gives you a tasting.

(29:12):
And at one point I think I themost I had was like 17 different
types of Jack Daniels on my barand people would come over and
I'm like there's no way you'regonna survive a full lineup.
So I'd say, go in there andpick five things and we would
have these uh little cups thatyou get at the uh tastings and
stuff here.
Since I do enough tours, I hada collection of those and we

(29:34):
would set up a little.
You know, go pick five bottlesand we would do a tasting and
stuff.
So it kind of gives yougentleman jacks a little bit
lighter because they, you know,double mellow it.
And then you got original blacklabel.
We had green label which was alittle bit sweeter.
Then you got, you know, yourrye products, your single
barrels, which are a little bitstouter.
Your barrel proof was a littlemore stouter.
And then, you know, especiallywhen they started doing the uh,

(29:58):
the tennessee tasters and whichnow is the distillery series.
They're experimenting withdifferent woods and methods and
stuff.
So it gives you your own hometasting.
So you know when you come outhere and do a tasting they're
going to give you a spectrum oftheir products you know you're
going to have.
This stuff might be a littlemore stout and this over here

(30:19):
might be a little more sweet anda little more mellow, and you
know.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
But they have variety for everybody now but that's
the great thing about min.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
You can go to the liquor store and buy you a mini
for three or four bucks and youcan do your own teeny, tiny
little tasting at the house.
So if you're done with beer andsweetie stuff and stuff like
that, you just go up there andget you some minis.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
Shooter bottles.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Yeah, little one shots or double shots and stuff
and do your own little lineup athome.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
What do they call them?
Airplane shooters?
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Yeah, that sounds.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
Little airplane bottles, mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Yeah, that sounds good.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
That's the cheapest way.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Yeah, when did you know that you had your collector
?
When is that point?

Speaker 3 (31:03):
Coming to Lynchburg was a bottle list or a bucket
list, as you want to say.
I always said, in one day I'mgoing to come out here, I'm
going to see the Grand CanyonTimes Square, come to Lynchburg.
And so my wife's like, well,they were like, let's do it.
So I think it was 2017.
We came out here in October.
Uh, I think it was October 9th2017.

(31:24):
I think it was the first timewe came out here and every
picture she took at me lookedlike I was a little kid at
Disney World.
I had the hugest grin, I was inmy place and it wasn't so much
that Jack Daniels is here, it'sjust the small-town feel, the
people that you meet.
And then a friend of mine orsomebody I met online said, hey,

(31:45):
you should try this Facebookpage, and it was the Volunteer
Squire page.
And so you've got the TennesseeSquire Association, which is
worldwide, but people have madelittle fractions.
You've got the Volunteer Squire.
You've got Florida Squires andthe Sunshine State Squires for

(32:08):
the Florida folks.
You've got the NortheasternSquires.
You've got little branches ofthat.
That just kind of makes itlittle smaller groups, and so
the Volunteer Squire VolunteerState Squires was Tennessee, and
so it was a whole bunch ofpeople like me that are in
Tennessee.
So I came out here and I met afew of them.
I talked to them online andthen you start seeing these many

(32:29):
liquor stores people had intheir house and I'm like that's
so cool.
So at the time I started buyingall of this stuff from 2015-ish
or so I started going back.
I couldn't afford $600 bottlesfrom 1970, so I'd buy the
empties and you start workingyour way with everything they

(32:50):
would have released forward andstart slowly working back, and
then, of course, you'd find a$600 bottle that somebody might
sell for $300.
You pick that up and sowherever you decide to start
collecting, you want to keep upwith what's coming forward,
everything that they releasedout.
If you can get it at decentprice, start there.
But then also you look at allof the stuff going back from now

(33:12):
to the 70s, then all thebeautiful decanters that they
came out with and the specialreleases stuff.
You know you pick those upalong the way, but I think once
I found Jack Daniel collectorson Facebook that was that was
when I got hooked in and my wifetold me she's like you can have
one curio cabinet and I waslike, well, it's full.

(33:33):
So she's like, all right, getyou another curio cabinet.
And we took Granny's chinacabinet and took all the china
out and started filling it upwith liquor bottles.
And then, once the dining roomtable left our house and we
started filling it up withwhiskey, she's like, all right,
well, we're gonna do this, let'sdo it right.
So we went, started researchingbookshelves and wall-to-wall
shelvings and, of course, wehave an ikea in memphis.

(33:55):
So we went to ikea and boughtfive shelves.
Well, five shelves didn't coverit, so we went and bought three
more and finally we filled upan entire wall what is the
percentage of your house?

Speaker 1 (34:06):
how much percentage?
Wise is probably filled up withbottles oh, just a dining room?

Speaker 3 (34:10):
oh really, she will not.
Okay, the dining room and aportion of the kitchen.
The bar left the dining roomand went into the kitchen.
So I have the bar on one wallin the kitchen.
That's got jack outside of thedining room.
But she says the dining roomit's got to stay in the dining
room.
And so at one point I wanted tobuy another barrel, because I

(34:33):
take all of my photos that Ipost on the page on a barrel.
Well, the barrel that we firstbought had our squire name or
our names and our squireinformation on it and I didn't
like that.
So I kept kept telling I wantto get a barrel house 107 barrel
.
And so I finally bought thatlast year was it early this year
, recently?
So now we got two barrels.

(34:54):
I was like what we're gonna dowith the old barrel?
She's like it's not going inthe rest of the house.
You either got to go outside oryou got to push it to the side.
So we agreed to push it or sheagreed to push it to the side.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
Well, let's see Scott Turner.
Any picks on the rock today.
On the what.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
I think he's talking about the.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
And then the Lynchburg local.
You know it does have the stilllocal feel to it.
And Woody Woody Befferdefinitely, oh yeah, Does he
still do his horse and buggylocal.
You know, it does have thestill local feel to it.
And woody- woody befford,definitely, oh yeah, does he
still do his horse and buggy?
Last time I was here yeah, youcan catch him at the lynch bird
distillery.
I know that's sometimes when Isee him.
He's an awesome dude yeah,woody, woody's.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
Definitely, if you're here, you'll find Woody, you
will, with all his horse andtalent but, like you said, it
gives it that small town feeland everything.
It does.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
You know.
I mean where else are you goingto find, like a horse and buggy
, a one red light?
I mean it's like the littletown and everything.
I mean it's a little, I don'tknow.
It's still for something as bigas Jack.
It's crazy that they've kept itso small, so small.
Have you been to otherdistillers and seen like their
organizations and how they runthings?
Is it kind of like similar?

Speaker 3 (36:18):
No, that's not.
We've got in Memphis, we've gotOld Dominick and it's downtown
and it's one building which isan old.
It's an older building downtownon front street.
But you come into lynchburg,depending on which way you come
in, you're going to see.
If you come in off uh, was thata?
To think it off, 82 on a 50.
You come in and you see the oldbarrel houses.

(36:41):
If you come in like you'recoming in from uh birmingham,
you see the old, old, the, thenewer, warehouse style or uh
warehouses.
But yeah, depending on whichway you come in, you are greeted
with a series of barrel housesall along the way.
You don't see, no, in memphis.

(37:01):
I don't know where they storeall their stuff at old dominic,
but it's one.
There's no way that they cancompete with the volume that
Jack Daniels puts out.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
A couple months ago we were down here at Miss Mary
Bobo's and we were eating withsome people from Kentucky.
Oh yeah, they were telling usthat, besides Jack, the next
best distillery they've been towould probably be Buffalo Trace
in Frankfort, kentucky.
Yeah, were they.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Didn't Brown Foreman, or didn't they own?

Speaker 2 (37:33):
No, they don't own.
No, that's for like you getBlanton's.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Ah, I gotcha, Okay, okay okay, I gotcha, gotcha.
Let's see, I was going to talkabout the gear that you got on.
Going to talk about the gearthat you got on, okay, so the
hat, the merch and everything.
When did this come out?
I remember last time you werehere I don't think I saw it.
Did you have the?
No, I did not have.
I was about to say, dude, Ilove that, I love the trucker
hat man it's the foam, hat itman.

Speaker 3 (37:59):
It's like I'm born in 85, so I remember the old foam
labels on like sprite and drpepper in them, old bottles yeah
, yeah man, yeah, yeah man, Ilove it and my grandfather lived
up on Tennessee River and theyhad this little store there.
A little town called Ponderosaand they had this little store
there and the creek that youwould come in off the Tennessee

(38:25):
River onto Hog Creek to meetthem and they had these old foam
trucker hats onto hog creek tomeet them and they had his old
foam trucker hats.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
And so the barrel house, 107 page I think, right
now we're like 18 500 or sofollowers on your facebook.
Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah.
So that's what I was about tosay where do people get?

Speaker 3 (38:43):
well, people ask people I have, you know, over 18
000 people in there and theyall want, everybody wants
something different.
So you know, like, when you'regoing to do shirts, when you're
going to do hats, when you'regoing to do this, that, and the
other night, no matter what youdo, it's you know, if you pick
one, you know you may sell 20 or30 of these or 15 hats or 20

(39:05):
shirts.
So there's a couple ofdifferent places online that,
will you know, you can do, madeto order hats or whatever.
So I found this little websiteI can't remember what it was,
but they did these foam truckerhats, and so I was like, all
right, y'all wanted hats.
So I signed up with them and Igave them the logo.
And you know, people can justgo online and to this website

(39:26):
and order one, and so they wouldopen the ordering up for like a
two or three week period andthen close it up and then
whoever ordered would send themout.
So, being that, my favoriteevent out here is the.
White Eater.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
I had to go with orange yes, I freaking all
orange.
Yeah, I had to go with orange.
I freaking love it.
Do you have it?
So you've got the shades?
Yeah, are the shades for BarrelHouse.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
No, these are Party City Special.
Oh my gosh Party City.
Yeah, we've got a Party Cityright down the street.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
Do people ask so are you just selling caps right now?

Speaker 3 (40:02):
I'm not Every now, I'm not, I'm um, I'll every now
and then people will startasking for hats or shirts or
whatever, and so, like the lastwhiter hunt, we did, um, I
opened up shirts and you knowanybody who bought a shirt and
if I saw them in a shirt, I hadthese uh patches made over here
at uh honey bunny mercantileright down the street.

(40:24):
So she made me these patchesthat said barrel house 107,
white or hunting club, and so Itold anybody you know anybody
who wants a white or huntingshirt so we made these shirts
here.
And you know if I toldeverybody, if I found you
wearing a shirt, that I'd giveyou a patch but it's fun.
I mean, it's it, it's not.
The page is not big enough tolet me retire yet, but it's fun.

(40:44):
I mean, it's not, the page isnot big enough to let me retire
yet, but it's big enough towhere, if somebody wants shirts,
I can do shirts and I will sellenough just to break even.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:58):
I'll break even and that's fun, as long as it
doesn't cost me money.
The page actually does cost memoney to keep it running because
of course it's almost fouryears into it.
I'm running out of stuff.
So any I'll hit antique stores,thrift shops, anything new that
jack down comes out with.
I try to purchase things thatwill continue the page and keep

(41:21):
people's interest.
So you know, in that aspect,yeah, I am buying stuff to
literally just buying stuff thatI think people would be
interested on the page.
So like the hats, the shirts,the patches, anything like that
that I sell on there, if I domake a profit, that profit goes
right back into the page.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
You have a request for a Barrel House 107 underwear

Oh yeah, Pepsi machine, that'sfreaking awesome.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
White County, wayne County, wayne County it was not
west.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
Well, it was more towards your area.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
Yeah, going out towards.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
Memphis yeah.
Wayne County is out towardsyeah.
Wayne County is out of his way?
Yeah, you'll have to look it up.
Is that your like?

Speaker 2 (44:21):
special whiskey sipper.

Speaker 3 (44:24):
My little sippy cup.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
I love it so.

Speaker 3 (44:28):
Jack daniels is is well known around the world.
Uh, you can't see it there.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
Yeah, I was looking.

Speaker 3 (44:33):
Yeah, I was looking to see what it was there's a
fellow named eric in thenetherlands and out of
everywhere in the world that youcould find jack daniels.
He has the most amazingcollection slash store in the
Netherlands and so people ask meall the time where can I find
this bottle or that bottle?
Well, the best way to findhard-to-find collectible bottles

(44:58):
is when you've got a collectorwanting to sell one.
But people like Sue Clark whoowns the Whiskey Cave out in
Hendersonville, you got JeffJohnson here in Lynchburg, you
got Dana Rifley here inLynchburg.
They are collector stores butTennessee law does not allow

(45:22):
them to ship that bottle fromwherever they are to wherever
you are.
It's against the law.
But right in the netherlands wegot different laws.
So eric in the netherlands heuh kind of basically opened up a
jack dano's collector liquorstore called the jack safe.

(45:43):
So you go to JackSafecom andhe's got bottles from around the
world.
Now we've got everything herein Lynchburg in Tennessee.
But when they ship a bottle ofJack Daniels to the UK or
Germany you're competing withthe English in the German market

(46:04):
.
You know they're used todrinking whatever they drink
over there.
So Jack Daniels has got tocompete.
So they put together nicelittle packages, tins, gift sets
and such.
So what you can find in the USversus what you can find
anywhere else in the world isdifferent.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
It's the same whiskey same bottle, but you've got
amazing tins.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
They've got these guitar cases I absolutely love.
They got a little mini bottlethat comes in this tiny little
guitar case from china.
They've got them in the uk andfull-size bottles.
Czech czech republic um.
Germany's got great stuff.
The uk's got great stuff.
But you know you go to uk.
You're looking at guinness beeryou know right, yeah, so you're

(46:47):
competing with their culturalcustoms and stuff like that.
So to compete with that, jackdaniels puts his cool little
gift sets together and so, uh,eric in the netherlands has
pretty much the worldwidecollection of jack daniels stuff
, so it may be the stuff thatyou can find in the us japan

(47:09):
that's what I was about to say.
I know japan's a big oh yeah,they got these cool little uh,
cradles.
They call them cradles butthey're little wooden boxes and
the box comes in.
I mean like if you was going tobury a jack daniel bottle and
be respectful, that's the waythey package their bottles and
they're beautiful.
And so eric at the jack safe,if you are in kentucky and you

(47:32):
want a bottle from the uk andyou want to be able to find it,
you go to online to jacksafecomand you order it and of course,
shipping is going to suck, butyou're going to get that bottle
directly to your house.
And so eric sent me these cutelittle cups.
I don't know if we can see them.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
Oh yeah, yeah, we got it right there.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
These cute little cups say jacksafecom, and so he
sends me these things, and so ofcourse I sell small little
items.
I don't sell full bottles oranything like that, but I sell
little items from time to time,and any time I sell something, I
send one of these cute littleJack Safe cups or lighters or
whatever with me.

(48:10):
So this is my fancy cup that Iwas going to drink Pinky out.
Yes, exactly, since I was thesecond time non-Lynchburg
resident on this podcast, I wasgoing to bring my fancy sipping
cup.
So I brought my fancy sippingcup from the jacksavecom.
This here come all the way fromthe Netherlands.

(48:33):
But yeah, like I said, jackDaniels, that's my absolutely
favorite part of the collectingthe page All of this together is
.
I meet people from Germany,italy, uk, aleno, from Ecuador,
man, god knows how many peoplefrom Australia.

(48:54):
Australian people are so muchfun.
If I could afford a 32-hourflight to Australia I would go
hang out with them.
I mean, they are basically justlike I hate to say this, but
British rednecks.
They are so much fun.
I'll be on the phone with themand we cuss.

(49:15):
They cuss publicly withoutshame.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
It's amazing.

Speaker 3 (49:25):
I'll be on the phone at like 6 o'clock in the morning
with somebody from australiaand they'll be using words that
I probably shouldn't say yeah,there's one word there that is
normal for them that I know it'sa four letter c word yeah, it's
normal for them to use it.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
Yeah, but very yeah you kind of get shamed and
they're like morning yeah, yeah,yeah.

Speaker 3 (49:44):
Actually, recently, last month, a man named Archer
Birch from Sydney, australia,came from Australia to the US
and he came specifically toLynchburg because it was his
50th year as a Tennessee Squireand I was brought in as, I guess

(50:05):
, a third-party invitee to thisevent.
And he came to Lynchburg tomarry Bubba's to have lunch and
take some tours and spend sometime, but to celebrate his 50th
Squire anniversary, and so I methim here in Lynchburg.

(50:25):
He's an amazing dude and he hasdone so many cool things that I
just hope by the 20, 30 yearsfrom now I have met a fraction
of the experience.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
I can't remember.
Yeah, I can't.
I mean, I can't imagine 20, 30years, the stories that you're
going to have.

Speaker 3 (50:46):
I'm probably like what, five or six years into my
Squire life.
So when?

Speaker 1 (50:51):
did you?
Yeah, so when did you whonominated?
Because you've got to benominated, not just by one.
We were talking about a couplepeople, right?

Speaker 3 (50:58):
No, you don't have to be no, it's one.

Speaker 1 (50:59):
Squire can nominate another person.

Speaker 3 (51:01):
Okay.
So who nominated you?
So a man named Danny nominatedme, and he was one of the first
people that I met online as theJack Daniel obsession people,
and so I started talking to himand you know the way, you've
become a Tennessee Squire.

(51:21):
For those who don't know, aTennessee Squire is someone who
absolutely loves jake danielsand but there also had to be a
good person.
You give back to your community, you help others, you uh,
basically, if you're afirefighter, first responder,
police officer serving yourcommunity, that's, that's the

(51:45):
level that you want to achieve.
But, like me, I'm none of those.
But at the same time, if youknow, there's been many times
that I pulled over to helpsomebody with a flat tire.
I've actually pulled people fromburning cars and houses and
stuff like that.
But that's what you want.
You want to give back, you wantto uh, if you're able to help

(52:05):
charitable causes and stuff likethat, you want to be a
basically a good person.
And so when you meet anotherperson who is very enthusiastic
about the jack daniel brand andthey're a good person and you
know they give back to thecommunity, help others, you know
that's someone who should benominated a squire.
So so Danny met me online andthen eventually here in

(52:27):
Lynchburg and he nominated me tobe a squire.
And so once you become a squire,you get a squire card and you
get special privileges.
Like you get to go to theMotlow House and just pretty
much sit in there and just talkand that's the amount of
knowledge and history andstories that you hear just at

(52:48):
the Motley House is amazing.
But you know, like here at theJack Daniels 35th Invitational
Barbecue Competition, they'vegot a squire tent and so if
you're a squire you get into asquire tent so you can pretty
much do anything from eating,getting your hair cut, buying

(53:09):
Squire merchandise.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
That's right yeah.

Speaker 3 (53:11):
They've got live music it's amazing.
And then also the other peoplethat are in there, and that's
the best part.
That's the best part of being aSquire, being a collector,
being.
All of that is the people fromevery inch of this world.
Tiny little town in middleTennessee.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
Yeah, so as far as Squire and then nominating
people with so many followersthat you have on Facebook, do
you get a lot of messages,people?

Speaker 5 (53:40):
want.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
Yeah, how do you handle that?
How do you?

Speaker 3 (53:43):
handle something like that For the most part.
If I don't know you personally,I won't nominate you, Okay.
I did recently have a gentlemanreach out to me and his wife is
a huge Jake Dino fan, but she'sfrom the UK, she was born and
raised in the UK and sheeventually moved to the US,

(54:04):
married a if I remember right,it's a New York police officer
and he died in the line of duty.
And so she's, of course, fromthe UK.
She's over here, her husbandhas passed, and this gentleman,
his wife, went through, I think,cancer.
If I remember right, she passed, so he's in a bad place, she's

(54:28):
in a bad place.
Well, they met each other andfell in love, and so they
basically helped each otherthrough a very difficult part in
their life.
And so he reached out to me andsaid look, my wife has been a
jack daniels fan since age 11,so I know y'all said oh, age 11.

(54:50):
But she had some difficult partsin her life.
And so, anyways, he told methis story how she was going
through some stuff and her nanhad spiked her Coke a little bit
to help her through thesedifficult parts of her life.
But I actually met these peoplehalfway between where they live

(55:11):
and where I live.
We met and we talked andwonderful people, and so that's
probably the only time thatsomebody has reached out to me
on the page saying hey, can younominate me?
Or somebody I know.
I actually met them in person,sat there and talked to them for
a while.

Speaker 1 (55:29):
So in person, yes, oh , wow.

Speaker 3 (55:33):
So I get a lot of requests hey, I want to be a
squire, especially anytime Ipost any squire event ah yeah,
yeah, yeah, of course but I'mnot going to do that because I
although I think that the squireassociation has kind of become
a collector thing hey, you giveme this bottle, I'll hook you up
kind of become a collectorthing hey, you give me this
bottle, I'll hook you up, kindof thing I want to stick to what

(55:57):
I think is right and so, yeah,probably since man, the last
five or six years, I may havenon-admitted five or six people,
but you know, I want to makesure that anybody that I bring
into the association is someonewho deserves to be here.

Speaker 1 (56:15):
Hey, unlock the door.
Who is that?
It's Dan.
Yeah, yeah, man, it's Dan.

Speaker 3 (56:19):
It's hey y'all.
Oh, it's not the police.

generator and hook it up.
They had a machine gun and alight going and they just left

Back before we got with thestate, you know, when we did the

Speaker 4 (01:00:04):
I never got out of this character.
You know they were stating thatcharacter all the time.

Speaker 5 (01:00:08):
And then when I would meet people, you'd get that
deer in the headlight look,because the voice was different
and they didn't know who theywere talking to, you know.
So now it got to where it wasrough on my voice, so now I do
the hey y'all how you doing.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
Yeah, I was making my way oh yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
Is there a barbecue restaurant down here anywhere,
like I don't know?
Maybe this place, probably theymight chuck, might have a
little bit of barbecue barbecuemight have barbecue.

Speaker 5 (01:05:48):
Yeah, I gotta gotta have a talk with chug.
They pulled up down hereyesterday and he's washing his
car and he didn't even offer towash mine.
I don't know what he's doing oh, that mustang oh, yeah, he has
a mustang he's got.

Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
Yeah, I forgot about he got that mustang.
Yeah, he's got that mustang.
Oh, that's a nice one a couple,was it a couple?

Speaker 2 (01:06:03):
weeks ago he come cruising down here had his
little arm propped up.
Yeah, yeah, right after theshow.

Speaker 1 (01:06:09):
I mean, come flying down, we're like who's this guy?

Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
I think he just bought it then, didn't he?

Speaker 1 (01:06:15):
Yeah, I think he did.
Yeah, low rider, that was sweet.
You can't get barbecue, butthat was the biggest
misconception.
When people come down here,they don't serve it.

Speaker 3 (01:06:27):
No, you cannot go to the competitors and ask for a
barbecue.
They cannot give you food.

Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
If you want barbecue, you come to Barrel House

Okay, okay, because I remember you all talking about
it last time.
There's a Morning Glory.

Speaker 5 (01:12:15):
Catfish and then there's a Morning Glory Donuts,

related to them.
And the Morning Glory Donuts.
They're opening up a secondshop in Nashville now Because
they're sold out.
By about 10 or 10.30 everymorning they're sold out.

Speaker 1 (01:12:39):

Speaker 3 (01:16:26):
But yeah, lynchburg has an animal shelter rescue
group called Friends of Animalsand people actually come out to
Lynchburg and will drop offstray animals.

Speaker 2 (01:16:38):
We have them on Regularly.
A couple years ago two yearsago.

Speaker 1 (01:16:41):
Yeah, we had them on.
Yeah, I think when we firststarted doing the show here in
the house.
I remember I can't yeah.
I know who she is but she's anawesome lady and does so much.

Speaker 3 (01:16:55):
Brandy recently retired.

Speaker 1 (01:16:56):
She recently retired.

Speaker 3 (01:16:58):
I don't know who's taken over since then, but
people will actually come out toLynchburg and drop off stray
animals for some odd reason.
A few years ago we had Lizard,the Lynchburg Cat, and my kids
would spend all day with.

Speaker 2 (01:17:13):
Lizard.

Speaker 3 (01:17:14):
Yeah, lizard did not live forever, but yeah anyways,
he has a book written about him.

Speaker 1 (01:17:20):
He does yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:17:21):
If you come by the Barrel House 107 garage sale
booth in the Lynchburg TownSquare, I will be taking
donations for the animal shelterand if you want a picture of me
or an autograph from me, itcosts you one whole dollar.

Speaker 1 (01:17:38):
That's a good deal, though I think that's for a good
cause.

Speaker 3 (01:17:41):
One Buckaroony, and I might even dance for a five.

Speaker 2 (01:17:45):
We won't even talk about ten, just keep going.

Speaker 1 (01:17:48):
We won't even talk about ten dollars.
Did you ever get?
To meet Lizard.

Speaker 2 (01:17:50):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:17:51):
I have not.
Did you get to meet?

Speaker 2 (01:17:51):
Lizard.

Speaker 1 (01:17:52):
Lizard was an awesome cat he was a sneaky little cat
too.
We would have shows sometimes.

Speaker 2 (01:17:57):
So of course this was years ago.
He snuck in here one time andif I had a gun I probably would
have started firing off becausehe scared me so bad.

Speaker 1 (01:18:13):
We were sitting here and he just jumps jumps smack
dab in the middle of the tableand we're like where'd this
thing come from?

Speaker 2 (01:18:16):
he didn't like us either.
I hated I couldn't grab him.
No, no, we finally got him out,but he, he didn't like us at
all, because I guess we wereinvading on his territory here
well, I never met lizard, butnow was it buddy the beagle that
that hangs out here on thesquare buddy buddy's around here
and he loves pepperoni yeah, heused to hang out up there by.

Speaker 5 (01:18:33):
I used to.
We used to hang out here on thesquare.
Yeah, buddy's around here andhe loves pepperoni.
Yeah, he used to hang out upthere by the waffles, whiskey,
waffles, whiskey waffles, andBuddy would come by every
morning and make his rounds, man.

Speaker 1 (01:18:44):
That's awesome, but that goes for a good cause
because I know it goes to thedog food at the animal shelter
and everything because they needyeah.

Speaker 3 (01:18:52):
That's my 9-year-old.
He would always come out herelooking for lizard and it was
right outside uh, lynchburg,gifts and more.
He found lizard and he was.
That was back during covid,when you had to, you know, cover
your face because he was toopretty for a public old lizard.

Speaker 1 (01:19:07):
He'd always, yeah, he'd always.

Speaker 2 (01:19:09):
That was the cat man that I know we would cat man I
hate cats.

Speaker 1 (01:19:12):
We would leave and he would be right there at the
door, trying to come back in andthen, so we just started going
out the back way.

Speaker 5 (01:19:19):
There must be another one there, because we were on a
tour today.
Hanging out over by the cavewhere the water comes out.
At Jack, they kept telling uswatch out for the gray cat and
we never did see it.
But the tour guide ahead of ussaid we jumped Watch out for the
gray cat.
And we never did see it.
But the tour guide ahead of ussaid well, it jumped out over
just a minute ago, but we neverdid see it.

Speaker 1 (01:19:35):
So we've only got one over there hanging out.
There's always been one, but Imean Lizard was like the one.

Speaker 2 (01:19:40):
I think did Chuck name him.

Speaker 1 (01:19:42):
I think Chuck named him yeah.
I think that's why it kind ofcaught on, because I think I
think I know Chuck took care ofhim.
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, he atebarbecue.
He was fed very well.
Yeah, he got fed pretty good,yeah, he got fed.

Speaker 2 (01:19:57):
Really well, yeah, he got fed.

Speaker 1 (01:19:58):
You'd see him chilling out right here on the
bench yeah, he'd be chilling outon the bench and then at night
time he'd be like right there.

Speaker 2 (01:20:03):
We'd be like, oh yeah , he would be, he would he would
sit right there on that mat infront of the door looking out
like like waiting on us to comeout, like what are you guys
doing there?
You got any food, you'rebringing it to me.
What's going?

Speaker 1 (01:20:16):
on, it's gonna be.
It's gonna be an awesomeweekend.
Yeah, and I'm looking.
How many years have you beendoing this for our house, I mean
?

Speaker 3 (01:20:24):
uh, I think my first one was 2019.
I'm a relatively new comer toall of this, but 2019, they
skipped 2020, so this willprobably be my fourth or fifth
year.
I can't count good.

Speaker 2 (01:20:38):
Like I said, we're coming down Saturday.
We'll be at the Squire tent, meand my wife, for a little bit,
but I don't think I've came tothe barbecue in probably over 10
years.
It's been a while, I guess,growing up around this area,
just never got down here.

Speaker 5 (01:20:52):
I can remember back years ago we had a little small
MG midget convertible.
We were out riding around andmy wife, she had had some
problems with her jaw she calledTMJ, and they had to break both
of her jaws and then reset them.

Speaker 4 (01:21:14):
So, being the loving husband I was.
I brought her to the barbecuefestival.
I remember being a kid.

Speaker 2 (01:21:22):
So my mom's great uncle lived right here across
from the library Once you turnup going to the library in
elementary school.
First house on the left Livedthere for as long as I can
remember, but that's where wewould always park.
We always had our front doorparking for any event in
Lynchburg where other people hadto walk or get on a bus and get

(01:21:46):
shipped back down here.

Speaker 1 (01:21:47):
Yeah, and thankfully they got the road all fixed at
the hospital.
That was going to be a disaster.

Speaker 2 (01:21:53):
Parking tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:21:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:21:56):
Parking tomorrow.
I'm trying to think.
I guess we'll have to park atthe hospital.

Speaker 5 (01:22:00):
They're busing in from the hospital.

Speaker 1 (01:22:02):
yeah, Do you get here early enough to where you don't
have to do that?

Speaker 3 (01:22:05):
I am lucky enough that I have a special parking
spot and a special parking pass.
So, yes, it will be a fivedollar donation to the animal
shelter, but it will help me bereal close to where I'm selling
all my stuff is this the firsttime you're selling yourself yes
, yes, um, it become the firstyear that I've really run out of

(01:22:29):
room in my assigned dining room, that I'm allowed to put all my
stuff here, so.
But yeah, every year I come tobarbecue.
Why you?
Pretty much anytime I come tolynchburg it's not only a little
visit for me, but it's also theone chance that I get to see a
lot of people.

(01:22:49):
So anytime I'm in lynburg it'snot only a visit but it's also
kind of like a mini businesstrip, like, hey, I'm bringing
this with me to somebody.
It saves on shipping throughFedEx or whatever.
But this year I decided, insteadof walking around trying to
meet up with 20, 30, 40 people,I will find a place and I will

(01:23:13):
sit there all day for two daysand you can find me and I'm
bringing out all the stuff thatI don't have room for anymore.
Yeah, that's smart.

Speaker 1 (01:23:22):
Do you have people that just come up to you and say
oh yeah, I follow you onFacebook, really yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:23:28):
It's actually funny because, like the shirt I'm
wearing today, it's gotBarrelhouse 107 in my hat and
stuff.
And I would have people say,hey, I want a Barrelhouse 107
shirt or a hat or something.
So I will put together a littlesmall promotion and stuff.
Anybody orders a hat in thisthree-week period, I'll send it

(01:23:50):
out to you.
Well, my wife happened to beout here one day and we were
separated and I was off doingthis and she was doing that and
somebody came up to her and waslike, oh my God, I'd like your
shirt.
And she was just terrified.
She's like I don't know who allthese people are, but they're
asking me about my shirt andyeah, so she stops wearing the
Barrelhouse 107 shirt becauseshe likes the anonymity of being

(01:24:13):
able to walk around townwithout the shirt on.
But yeah, I have people all thetime who will stop me.
I'll be here for an event orjust a random weekend that I
have nothing else to do and Iwant to come out here and meet
up with somebody and I have, youknow, friends from all over the
world who will show up here onrandom days and I'll say, all

(01:24:35):
right, I'm gonna take off thatweekend, make sure I can meet
you and talk to you and meet youand stuff like that.
And yeah, I'll be out here justmeeting one person and have
four or five other people.
You know that.
Recognize me from the page andI always wear the same hat and
it's not the bright orange hatthat I got on now, but it's this
black and gray hat that Ialways wear and it's faded and
wore out and they'll recognizeme and stop me and stuff.

(01:25:00):
And you know, my kids of coursethink I'm just the coolest guy
in the world, which works for me, but you know it is.
It's really nice to meet peoplefrom all over the us, all over
the world, and you know I I usedto work night shift.
I would talk to people inGermany and Australia while I'm
at work and you know, it's justthey're playing on my phone

(01:25:21):
while we were at downtime andstuff.
It's Jack Daniels comes fromthis teeny, tiny little,
smallest County in Tennessee,and yet you can find people
around the world that recognizethe name, the brand, and you
know even my page and it's it'sthat's my favorite part and and

(01:25:41):
with the people.

Speaker 1 (01:25:42):
You're talking about international people.
That's awesome to see all theinternational people and then if
you're doing like business withthem, it probably saves you a
lot on shipping.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like that'scrazy, that's that's one of the.

Speaker 3 (01:25:56):
If you're a jack daniel, a serious jack daniel
collector, barbecue is the onetime a year you want to be in
lynchburg because you havepeople from all over the world.
They're bringing stuff thatonly their country has, like
australia.
Up till recently they only theywere the only country that had
a white label.
It was a 1907 bottle JackDaniels bottle that only sold in

(01:26:17):
Australia.
They recently discontinued it,but for years any time
Australians would come tobarbecue they would bring a case
or two of that because they'rethe only ones who have it.
So that was your chance to save60 on international shipping of
an illegal product that you'renot really supposed to ship in

(01:26:38):

One of the trips I made to Japan, they had a big
barbecue for us over there.
So, steve, he was telling themthat Jack Daniels was better

each other a shot.
So they did a shot of Jack anda shot of Sockie and they both

(01:28:43):
sat there and hit it.
And they sat there and theytalked, and then another guy

And so he would turn around andstart talking to him.
What he would do?
Tell him, you know, jackDaniels, they would pour shots.
So while they were over heredoing shots, this guy would get

And then he'd turn around overhere and this guy oh, we must do

(01:29:05):

You know they sat there anddouble teamed him all afternoon.

Speaker 2 (01:29:15):
And we had to pour him into a cab to get him home.
That night we uh, I was, I waswatching some interview I don't

Speaker 5 (01:29:53):
We we were up at uh edgar evan state park in east
tennessee and we were camping,so we was up there and we went
to the ranger station thatmorning and got us some

When we come out we had our twolittle dogs with us and so the

She said oh, they got puppies.
I said well, they're littlesmall dogs.

(01:30:14):
I said they can come over hereand play with the dogs if they

So they come over and theystarted playing with the dogs
and I asked the lady.

And she looked at me.
She looked at her husband.
She said you're that famous guyfrom Winchester.

Speaker 2 (01:30:33):
She said from McMinnville, and they followed

Speaker 2 (01:31:09):
this morning he went to the beach and he's got
sunburn on his head.
He's a big wuss.
You know he's a crybaby.

Speaker 3 (01:31:16):
It's funny, though Me and my boys came to the Tunnel
Tower 5K last month.
Oh, yes, yeah yeah, yeah, and Imay not be able to talk about
this, but Chief Whalen from theJack Daniels's fire brigade
asked us hey, y'all want to comehelp set up?
And we're like, yeah.
He says, uh, okay, be at myoffice at 4 30 am.

(01:31:40):
He's, yeah, oh crap.
Well, he was chief whalen wasnursing a bottle of tenure that
night and I said, okay, we'll bethere.
He's like, well, let me putthis away because we got to get
up real early.
So I told my boys those if y'allget up early enough, y'all can
help, uh, set up for the firebrigade.
So they that was the first timethey went to bed right on the

(01:32:04):
dot.
And I get up at four o'clock inthe morning the next day and I
say y'all wake up.
And I mean they both 9, 11years old.
They popped up and we go to themeetup with Chief Ray Wayland
and they were lucky enough thatthey got to go down to the fire
brigade which is behind the gateon the bottling lines.

(01:32:28):
So they got to go to the actualJack Daniel's Fire Brigade.
They took pictures with thetrucks and everything and we
went down to the square and myyoungest helped set up the
bottles for the runners andstuff.
And my 11-year-old actually gotto help set up the flag to hang
up and everything.
And so we were down there at theButt Crack-A Dome on a Saturday

(01:32:54):
morning to run a 5K and theywere both.
They got Fire Brigade gear.
They got hats and shirts andstuff that only the Jaguars Fire
Brigade get and stuff.
So they were just they wereblown away.
And I told them I said y'allmay not have a cool dad, but
y'all have a cool dad who knowscool people.

(01:33:15):
And so they were down there at4 o'clock in the morning raising
flags for the Jack Daniels FireBrigade and Chief Whalen helped
show them how to do everythingand stuff.
It was just amazing and peoplethink Lynchburg Jack Daniels

(01:33:36):
whiskey.
They don't recognize the factthat this is also a place for
kids.
It may be whiskey.

Speaker 1 (01:33:48):
They do a lot for the schools there is, so much that
people 21 and under can do.

Speaker 3 (01:33:54):
Not only do you have these small shops in town, you
have small businesses that youcan support the candy shop.
Right.
You got the Tunnel to the Towerto 5K.
Both my boys ran the 5K.
We've been here for multiple ofthe Alzheimer's walks.

Speaker 1 (01:34:11):
Oh yeah, down there.

Speaker 3 (01:34:12):
You've got the barrel tree lighting at either end of
November, early December.

I never got to come over forone of them.

Speaker 3 (01:34:20):
You've got to.
If something's come up.

Speaker 5 (01:34:22):
I've never been there , I've never got to see one of

Speaker 3 (01:34:25):
Hey, Santa comes.
If you come, santa will bethere.
You got cookies hot chocolate,hot cider.

Speaker 5 (01:34:34):
I've tried for years, but I've just never been able
to make it.
Did you run the?

Speaker 2 (01:34:37):
5K.

Speaker 3 (01:34:38):
I did, I ran it.
Actually, I opened my mouth andI told everybody that if the
Barrel House 107 Tunnel Tower 5Kteam raises over $1,000, I will
do it in full fire gear me 80pounds of gear to put on to do
the 5k what uh man?
What was your time?
I didn't count I made it I havefinished.

Speaker 2 (01:35:02):
I did two I did the last two years me.
We've done the wobble gobble intelehoma.
Y'all been to that one?
No, I haven't been, so that waspretty fun.
Uh, this year I'll be my thirdyear.
The first year I did it.
My goal was under an hour and Ithink I did it 58 minutes.
Year, the first year I did it,my goal was under an hour and I
think I did it 58 minutes.
Last year my goal was 55minutes.
I think I did it at 56 minutes.
So this year I've told myselfI'm gonna finish it in 50

(01:35:23):
minutes because my wife and mykids, they, they do it.
Of course, my nine-year-old,she could do it four times by
the time I get done one time,but she, she'll run all the way
down and you'll see her likehalf a mile down the road and
and then she'll turn around andrun right back and I'm like man,
just keep going.

Speaker 5 (01:35:39):
There used to be a bunch of guys when I worked at
Nissan.
Every year they would go toNashville for the marathon they
have up there and there was abunch of guys that they'd get up
there trying to raise money forcharity and one of the guys
he's a pretty heavy-set fella,you know, and him and one of the
big bosses, they had a betgoing on the big heavy-set fella

(01:36:03):
about a third of the waythrough he thought he was having
a heart attack.
It was hot and he was hurting.
So they put him in an ambulanceand took him up and the medical
station was up close to thefinish line in an ambulance and
took him up and the medicalstation was up close to the
finish line and so when he gotout he used to he you know they
riding in the in the ambulancehe cooled off a little bit, he
got out and he seen the finishline over there.

(01:36:25):
So he had the little timerthing.
So he went over and ran acrossthe finish line and told
everybody you know he waswritten.
It's because it came up in thenewspaper.
You know what everybody's timeswere and he was telling
everybody he beat everybody,everybody.
You know it's going to come upin the newspaper.
You know what everybody's timeswere and he was telling
everybody he beat everybody overthere, you know, and he was on
his way to the hospital.

Speaker 2 (01:36:44):
My oldest daughter, her first year, and she's been
griping about it since we signedher up.
She's like I'm not going towaste a Saturday and get up blah
, blah, blah, but then I toldher there's a prize for last
place.
So I think blah, blah, blah,but then I told her there is a
prize for last place.
So I think now she's got hersights set on this last place I
brought my boys.

Speaker 3 (01:37:01):
They were uh marshall's 11 and uh leland's
nine, or no, first time doing itI'm screwed up.
Marshall is nine, leland is 11.
Leland came with me last year,both the boys came with me this
year I got you and uh, there'salso a good friend of mine,
kevin green.
He runs these things like theirmorning breakfast.

(01:37:21):
He, he actually ran like a Ithink it's a 51 mile run in 24
or 12 hours.
Yeah, he's, I don't know what'swrong with him, but his wife,
shannon, uh, she's in a chair,she's in a wheelchair and he
pushes her in all of these races.
And yeah, he came to, uh, thelast two, uh, tunnel towers, 5k

(01:37:46):
and he not only runs but hepushes her in the chair, and so
they're a team.
And this year I said you know,I'll run it in full fire gear if
we can raise over a thousanddollars.
We raised, I think it waseleven hundred and seventy five
dollars.
So I ran in a fire gear.
Well, kevin's like I'm gonnaone up you.
So he runs it in fire gear tooand pushes shannon in the chair.

(01:38:09):
Well, of course, I wait and letthe fast people go first and I
get in the middle somewhere.
And so my 9 and 11-year-old theyboth run this and my
11-year-old beat Kevin and hecomes back and that's all.
I get back to the finish lineand all I can see is his glow in

(01:38:30):
his face.
He's like I beat your friend.
I said what do you mean, yourfriend that runs these things
all the time I beat him?
I beat, beat your friend.
I said what do you mean, yourfriend that runs these things
all the time I beat him.
I beat him by like 45 secondsor something.
I'm like, well, he's running in80 pounds of gear and pushing
his wife, but I beat him.

(01:38:50):
And so now, not only are wecoming out for y eater every
year and uh, barbecue and thebarrel, uh, the barrel, true
lighting, but now we've had yeah, we beat kevin, but we're going
to come out for the tunnel tothe tower 5k every september.
So so now you can pretty muchguarantee me we're going to be
out here four times a year atleast, but it's usually probably

(01:39:12):
, you know, seven, eight timesyear.

Speaker 1 (01:39:14):
