Most of good decisions.

So my lovely wife gave us agift for Christmas.
These are the whiskey bitsglasses.
These are what do we say?
These are etched, but they'rekind of like reverse etched.
They're like the white part isetched, so there's more etching
(02:17):
than not etching and so it likeleaves the whiskey bits.
It's really, really solidlooking.
I'll find out where she didthis and Matt will not edit in
the link to go in there.
Whiskey bits, everything we have, coasters, glasses.

So in the glass today, what dowe got in the glass today?
We have angels envy finishedrye oh, it's finished.
So angels envy.
They do a lot of their like,they do a lot of finished stuff.
(03:24):
So hopefully, they, hopefullythey're done when it's done.
Their regular bourbon, it's notfunny.
Their regular bourbon isfinished.
I thought it was funny.
It's finished.
Ooh, did I spill on myself?
It's finished as well.
This one, though these finishedryes are finished in Caribbean
Caribbean.
Wait, finished, though, meansthey've done this stuff.
(03:46):
Dang it, bill.
More fodder.
Caribbean, caribbean, caribbean.
What's the difference?
It doesn't matter, right?
One's a rum and one's a place.
Really, I don't know.
I think they're both a place.
This is the same exact thing.
So these are finished in rumbarrels.
Okay, from the Caribbean, theCaribbean, yeah, maybe you're
(04:10):
Caribbean.
If you're from the Caribbean,oh, that could be it.
Is that what?
It is?
Probably All right, but theregular Angel's Envy, as we all
know.
We all know it Finished in portbarrels.
Oh, and these are in rumbarrels.
These are in rum barrels.
So this is a rye whiskey.
I do like the rum.
This is 100 proof rye whiskey.
Oh, there's more of a labelover here.
(04:30):
Look at that.
Oh, look at that.
What does it say?
Look at that.
There's a batch number, 11x.
Okay, bottle number 9633.
So if anybody else has 9632,9633, well, there's only one
96-33.
If it's bottle number, right?
Oh, yeah, yeah, I was thinkingbarrel number, you were thinking
barrel.
And then there's a spot towrite down, uncorked, on date.
(04:55):
That's personal when you openit.
I don't think we should.
I didn't write it in.
How dare they ask that?
I mean, that is a personalquestion.
I did not write that one in.
So Angel's Envy comes fromLouisville, kentucky.
It's pretty well known.
When did you first get uncorked95% rye on this guy?
(05:19):
95% rye, shall we?
Let's use the Dom-Naz?
We haven't talked about that ina while.
Yeah, it's been a little bit.
Oh, wow, that's definitelyDefinitely rum.
I mean, I'm getting, but likewhat's rum?
Sweetness?
Caramel-y, caramel-y for sure.
Caramel is the thing that's onthe nose here.
(05:41):
Yeah, caramel, there's so muchcaramel, almost like.
Yeah, like, how do you makecaramel?
Sugar, sugar and water.
It's kind of like burnt sugar,right?
Yeah, there's a little bit ofthat burnt kind of nuttiness,
almost raisiny kind of driedfruit caramel.
Yeah, good color.
(06:03):
No age statement on this one,but, like I said, about 100
proof, let's give it a littletaste there.
Oh, it smells so good.
Tastes even better.
Tastes, even better.
(06:26):
This was one of those that whenI first started drinking
whiskeys, um, and getting intobourbon, I was not a big fan of
the finished stuff.
I really wanted to stick with.
You know, it's actuallystraight up what it is.
It's it's Kentucky straightbourbon, it's whatever straight
bourbon.
And uh, uh, it's only beenrecently that I've gotten into
some of the other finishes, justbecause you know bourbon is
(06:48):
good.
It's good on its own, it's goodon its own and when you can add
a little something to it.
I actually don't mind that asmuch anymore, but like there was
a.
There was a time when I was apurist and I was like, nope, I
don't do the finished stuff, Idon't like.
You were like a bourbon snob.
Well, I was just.
I wanted to experience as muchof the bourbon that I could,
(07:08):
without getting into thefinished stuff.
But this was one of the firstones that I tried that I really
really liked, and to find outthat it was finished in the rum
barrels, I was like well, Iguess I like finished stuff.
Now I don't know.
Well, it's like me with rye ingeneral.
I I was.
We had, I think, the first ryeI tried.
(07:28):
I was like I guess I like rye,I guess I like right, yeah.
And so when I, when I found out, when I first had this, some
guy named rise like no, thanks,hi, I actually like you too, me
too.
Okay, yeah, well, that wasinteresting, great, it's not the
same guy, though.
Um, so I don't know what I wasgoing to say no.
So when I found out about thisone, I was so excited that never
(07:50):
happens.
I was so excited because yousee Angel's Envy everywhere,
everywhere.
So I was like, oh well, the rye, it must be like everything
else, it should be everywhere.
Well, it is everywhere.
But if you know anything aboutthese, it is a lot more
expensive than you would think.
It is the Angel's Envy's, yeah,the rye.
Oh, like 80 bucks.
Yeah, a regular Angel's Envyyou can find for a decent price.
(08:14):
It's 40, 50 bucks, right, butthe rye, for whatever reason,
$80.
Look, it's good, it's good,it's good, it's good, it's good.
Now, is it always that it's thefinished rye that's 80?
Or is it just rye in general?
That's all they have?
Oh, that's the only rye theyhave is a finished in.
That's their signature rye Inrum, in the rum barrels.
Yeah, this isn't a specialthing.
(08:38):
Oh, this is how they.
That's just their rye.
This is how.
Always in a port barrel.
Yeah, interesting, alwaysfinished in a port barrel.
They have some otherexpressions.
Now they're coming out withsome other expressions, but
these are their.
Like a frowny face, gosh, I'dsay that I can't take you
anywhere.
It's like I can't.
Okay, yeah, that's probably agood idea.
(08:58):
It's time.
It's time.
I have not done the dad jokeloading in a long time.
Yeah, it's been a few months.
You know those stink bugs.
If you touch them at all, itkind of smells like that.
They release a stink.
Happened to me the other dayand it smelled the whole house.
Wow, does it taste like thesnake?
(09:20):
It's not good.
Alright, out of solidarity.
No, not gonna lie, it tasteslike pure gasoline.
Why do I know what gasolinetastes like?
Well, that's a story foranother time.
Man, it doesn't smell good.
Good luck, phil.
(09:40):
This will cure all your.
This is why I'm bald.
I took what you know what.
It's true, I had a sip of thatand ever since then I've been
losing more hair.
Well, this is also.
Yeah, I'll put this one back.
Oh, you're gonna save it forlater.
No, no, we're done with thatone for tonight.
(10:00):
So, anyways, I was.
I was kind of surprised to findit at $80.
And smell again, but it's yeah,especially after that, it
probably smells really good.
Yeah, but you can find this oneway closer to our typical price
points, right, and by that Imean under $70.
Yeah, mostly at Costco andSam's Club.
(10:22):
Okay, some of those places.
If you do see it, it'sdefinitely one that I would pick
up.
If you don't have it, grab it.
I don't think you're going tobe disappointed, especially if
you're looking for something alittle bit different.
You know, 100 proof rye Finishedin a rum barrel.
It drinks a little higher thana 98.
(10:43):
It's 100.
Is it exactly 100?
It drinks a little higher thana 90,.
What did you say?
98?
It's 100.
Is it exactly 100?
Yeah, oh, it drinks a littlehigher than that.
A little bit to me, but not ina bad way.
I don't know, though.
Maybe not.
I thought it was 98.
I'm saying a lot of things.
If you can tell the differencebetween 98 and 100, proof,
believe me, based on just yourtaste, after putting down some
of that swill, based on justyour taste, after putting down
(11:04):
some of that swill, maybe that'swhat it is.
Yeah, it just tastes real weirdall of a sudden.
That's because you just drankfrom the dad joke loading, just
not giving me acid reflux.
My son's baseball team last yearthey were the Angels, yeah, and
they gave I coached.
You know there was like two orthree assistant coaches.
I was one of them.
Yeah, we use the word coachedvery loosely.
(11:28):
Actually, I'm a pretty darngood baseball coach.
Yeah, I mean you look the partI did.
I was like I remember well.
Yeah, we talked about this.
Remember I choked on mysunflower seeds because I was
trying to look cool, like rookieof the year yeah, like rookie
of the year, and I actually didchoke down him.
Great scene, so good.
But they, they gifted with a uh,uh, angels envy.
Uh, the, the regular bourbon.
(11:48):
Yeah, I was like this is socool, nice and hello.
Out there.
They're also emily.
The wife is a listener.
The wife, hello, emily.
The wife of the coach, oh, thewife, yeah, the wife of the
baseball coach, or the wife ofthe team, like the wife of the
whole team, the entireorganization.
It's like you have a mom of theteam.
Well, she's the wife of theteam.
(12:08):
Oh, yeah, she'll let you knowwhen you're doing stuff that's
wrong.
That's what a mom does, that'strue, or, in our case, all right
, that's what a mom did.
Brr, brr, br.
I don't know, it's not in thelyrics.
This is so good.
(12:29):
Yeah, I like, I like this one alot.
It's not raisin or plum, it'ssomething it's like.
Maybe it's just that caramel.
It's that caramel burnt sugar,not burnt sugar, even though
it's like pre-burnt.
But yeah, rum's pretty sweetand has has some of those dried
fruit things in there.
It's fantastic.
Yeah, it's one of my favoriteryes.
(12:50):
You know, it's kind of crazythat some of my favorite whiskey
that I go back to are ryes, areryes, yeah, yeah, and not
because of the spiciness thatyou hear about, the spicy, the
spicy, not because of that, butbecause they're sweeter, like
there's a sweetness to reallygood rye, a really high rye,
(13:12):
high rye, high rye, high rye.
Hello, we shouldn't have watchedthat clip from andrew santino,
because now I just want to dolike, hey, I know, but him and
it's bobby lee, right, yeah, ishe korean?
Korean, so funny, he's korean,he is so funny.
Like guys, I have a koreancousin.
(13:34):
Yeah, I do, yeah, legit, cool,yeah, hi, j Hi, justin, those
are my Korean cousins.
Hi, aunt Sue, korean aunt, yeah, well, yeah, yeah, I guess that
makes sense.
That's why they're Korean.
Yeah, because, see, their momis Korean.
Still, that didn't change, itdidn't go away.
(13:57):
So that's good.
So what are we doing?
Is now a bad time to bring upthat korean barbecue?
Oh, I freaking love koreanbarbecue jersey.
I went to this place and it waslike a korean, uh, barbecue
wings place.
Oh, my gosh, it was good.
And they had, um, their ownhomemade kimchi.
Yeah, and oh, it's freakingincredible.
(14:18):
I can still like smell theparmesan garlic wings they made.
Hmm, darn it.
We should go get wings afterthis, should we?
Let's go get some chicken wings.
You know, I don't.
Uh, I, could you know what weshould do?
We'll order a door dash andI'll go pick it up, because you
know, phil, I've been doing doordash.
Should I order?
(14:39):
Can you order door dash?
Please, tip, though, please,please.
I'm not tipping.
Look, here's what I'm gonna say.
All right, why would I tip forsomething I could do myself?
That's a good point.
That's a very good point.
I wait, wait, you've been door.
I've been doing door dash.
Well, you know, lost, lost a bigclient and, uh, I've had to
(15:00):
humble myself a little bit.
It's a humbling thing.
I have never, ever, looked downon anybody for any type of job.
No, and we're certainly notdoing that tonight.
I'm looking down on myself.
No, that's impossible.
Unless I'm dead.
Then I will look down and I'llgo.
Huh, yeah, you really were bald, but the Nevis is gone.
(15:22):
No, I've been doing.
This is how my show went.
I would like, yeah, no, thatgot wet.
I was like, ah, let's go.
So door dash.
Um, I, I ended up sofrustrating.
Hi, jamie, uh, I'm so sad Icouldn't do my show with you at
zany's.
Yeah, but you know tough times.
I was gonna do a show at zany'slast friday.
(15:43):
I had to not do it.
Um, it was just I was gonnaopen for jamie and he's generous
enough to let me do that, and Iwas like, hey, man, like I
gotta do door dash, like I havea show I'm driving up to indiana
and I need literally need moneyfor gas, and so I door dashed
instead of doing the comedy show, which is not what I wanted to
do, but it's what I had to doand yeah, so that's kind of
(16:06):
something I'm doing on the sideright now.
I'm hoping that work, althoughI did get another client, so
hopefully I don't have to keepdoing door dash forever.
Although I did just order apizza bag, which now means I can
deliver pizza, which I don'tknow.
Maybe I'll just use it to warmmy own pizza, maybe I'll make a
pizza and put it in the bag justto be like ah, I know there's a
(16:28):
warm pizza in that bag, justfor your own knowledge.
Just that's it.
Just just just to know, justbecause that will keep you warm,
that'll keep me warm at night.
Well, like, yeah, I'll go ordera domino's pizza and put it in
the bag.
Oh, actually, you know what Ican?
Go get a domino's pizza and putit in the bag.
(16:49):
Well, I was gonna actually saylittle caesars, because oh, yeah
, like five dollars, and yeah,or the costco pizza, oh, how
much is that?
I don't't like.
Well, it's like $10.
Oh, but, but it feeds like ahundred people.
It's like 10, 10 huge slices ofpizza.
I think it's more than that.
I think it's $8.99.
(17:10):
Yeah, of course, $8.99 orsomething like that, but one
slice is like a buck fifty,anyway.
So, yeah, it's an odd job, it'san odd job, but we all have odd
jobs, we've all done.
Have you done odd jobs?
I've done some.
What was the dumbest job?
What was the weirdest job?
That wouldn't make sense forsomebody like you, looking as
you do, to do this specific joband I'm not leading into this, I
(17:31):
don't know what you're about tosay, but what would be maybe
like a job?
You're like, wow, I can'tbelieve you worked there.
Wow, that's really good.
So, um, you know, coming out ofhigh school and heading into, I
thought you didn't graduate highschool College.
What the heck dude, I didn't goto college.
Oh, I graduated high school.
Oh, okay, but I didn't go tocollege.
(17:53):
You didn't go to college.
Well, when I say I graduatedhigh school, I took my GED.
Anyways, see, I wasn't halfwrong.
See, I wasn't half wrong.
Go ahead.
You actually were exactly halfwrong.
Oh, okay, that's true.
No, you were all wrong.
I finished high school.
Yeah, ged is the same thing.
By finishing high school, Imean I have my GED.
Yeah, because I didn't actuallyfinish all four years of high
school.
Who cares?
(18:13):
You did the GED.
It's like it's GED enough.
I don't want to, I can't do it.
I can't do another one.
I should, though, probably it'snot good, it's not good enough.
So I was out of high school andworked full time while I was
(18:34):
starting to go to college and Itook on some jobs, mostly mall
jobs.
What's a mall, phil?
Remember those?
I miss the mall.
I took on some jobs, mostlymall jobs.
What's a mall, phil?
Remember those?
I miss the mall?
I do remember because I workedin them.
So in high school I worked.
In high I did a lot of theretail.
Let me guess Zoomies thatdidn't even exist when I was
(18:58):
doing retail, but I did champsports, old Bill's Hoisiery.
I did lids.
Lids, yeah, hats, of course youdid.
You're a hat guy, I, you knownot anymore, but you sold them.
I sold hats there, sold hats.
Um, I worked at a kiosk.
It like you remember, like inthe middle, oh yeah, that's the
(19:19):
best.
So I worked at, I worked at akiosk that like we would take
your picture or somebody'spicture, or somebody would bring
a picture in and I would put iton all sorts of things, like
you could put anything.
Oh yeah, t-shirts.
Oh, put on a mouse pad.
Do you remember the mouse pads?
Do you remember pictures on amouse pad?
(19:41):
I have gandalf on a mouse padright over there.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, so what we, how you wouldget that is, you would bring
that into you.
This was before amazon was athing.
You'd bring it into me.
I would take the picture, scanit into a computer, oh, create a
transfer, oh, and then put itdirectly onto a mouse pad.
Ever I freaking wanted a t-shirtwas the weirdest thing you ever
(20:02):
put it on.
Did you put on underwear?
No, no, no.
I thought you were gonna asklike the weirdest picture I put
on something.
Oh, yeah, what's the weirdestpicture, probably me.
You put you, they wanted you onsomething.
I put myself on something.
Yeah, gave it and then tried togive it to your mom.
I thought you were like I'mtrying to sell this.
Yeah, look guys, it's me.
So while I was doing that, likeyou know, retail didn't pay that
(20:26):
well and I was like I was, youknow, trying to go to school and
live on my own and do all sortsof stuff.
So I was working full time.
So I was like I can just workmaybe a couple different jobs.
Oh, ok, I can just do it, Imean whatever.
So I was, I was the third key,which was like assistant to the
assistant manager.
No, no, it was like string, itwas.
(20:49):
Yeah, it was the third key.
So there was a manager, anassistant manager and then
myself, which was the third key,which is which is also known as
just the regular employee thatworks there.
No, regular employees did nothave keys.
Oh, but I did such a good jobat lids that the hired me as
their third key.
Oh, because they saw throughand they're like, wow, that
(21:10):
guy's good.
Yeah, look at that guy, look atthis guy, he's selling those
caps.
And so I worked at Claire'sBoutique as a third key manager,
the earrings place.
Yeah, I pierced a lot of ears.
I wonder if it was you.
I have a confession.
So I have this ear pierced, did?
(21:31):
No, it's still pierced.
I could put an earring in it.
Give me an earring.
I'll put one in right now.
No, I'll call upstairs and haveMadison bring me an earring.
Mom, bring me my meatloaf.
No, bring me my meatloaf.
I got my ear pierced atClaire's Would never recommend
it.
I did, I would never.
(21:51):
I remember crying after gettingit pierced, trying to clean it.
Were you like 10 or 11?
No, I was in high schoolBecause I didn't cry to get the
ear pierced.
What was painful was thecleaning and the twisting of it
and then like trying to get it.
Also, what's gross is how theypierce ears with the gun so
(22:14):
disgusting, yeah.
How do they do that?
I mean?
I mean it's an explosion, likeyou're shooting oh really,
that's what.
Like it's taking a needle andit's blown, and like you don't
clean those things enough to getother people's like stuff off,
so like there's just justrotting flesh on there.
Oh yeah, and so you justprobably got infected from
somebody else's rotting flesh,from someone else's earlobe?
(22:34):
Yeah, lobe flesh.
Yeah, you got to watch out forthe lobe flesh.
Yeah, there's that lobe fleshdisease that's running rampant
out there right now.
And all those clairs.
Yeah, this is not endorsed, nordo we have any proof or
knowledge of any claire's lobeflesh disease.
That may or may not be presentto me.
Oh, I'm pretty sure it's welldocumented.
Oh, yeah, for sure it's outthere.
Yeah, there's a documentary onit.
I think it's actually calledlobe flesh from claire's is it's
(22:56):
actually the name.
That sounds like the name oflike advertising.
It sounds like a like a gothlotion.
Lobe flesh by claire's theweirdest rule motion that I
never understood.
But like now that, now that weknow what we know, I understand
it.
We were never allowed to, um,or parents weren't allowed to
(23:17):
like record us or take picturesof us piercing the doing.
Oh, like for, yeah, yeah, theycouldn't.
That was really store takingpictures, but that was like
really before.
Even phone like cell phones, Imean, yes, but like they would
bring their cameras and be like,no, you can't do that.
Like, well, why not?
We would have people standoutside the store and record
(23:37):
Because we're doing somethingillegal.
Apparently, you probably had tohave licenses to do this and
they're like no, you're justshooting it with a gun, that's
no problem.
Were you 18?
You were 18.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, it's like you know.
I think now, if I would havepierced my ears today, I would
go to a tattoo parlor Right,like that's where people go, yes
, but I'm like scared to gothere, why, I don't know.
(24:00):
Oh, it's so much painful.
I want to get a tattoo.
Let's do it.
Okay.
Whiskey I should get a whiskeyglass tattoo.
How about just whiskey bits?
Yeah, on my bits.
Oh, explicit, explicit, sorryfolks, that sounds painful.
Yep, I would not.
I, as dedicated as I am to thispodcast, come on, phil, that
(24:23):
would never happen.
Commit, commit to your pits.
All right, I'll get out of myleft butt cheek.
Uh, I have another.
We should do another episode onweird tattoo locations.
Oh, yes, weird and weirdtattoos in weird locations.
I have some stories.
I have one story.
It's like I have a bunch oflike, not even say your episode,
(24:44):
yeah, it's just like do youwant to hear this?
Yeah, what is it tell?
Tell us.
So.
Is this your tattoo?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
But I was.
It's someone's tattoo.
I was uniquely and intimatelyinvolved with this.
So this sounds like a storythat needs more whiskey that you
may or may not need to have analibi for, perhaps.
(25:05):
No, have an alibi for, perhapsno, no, we're okay, okay.
So, um, hockey, hockey playersdo fun things and, um, I was the
captain of a hockey team.
Fun.
Fun also means stupid, and wewere really trying to.
We were really trying to getthis one guy to play on our team
because he was just, he had allthe right energy and all the
right stuff.
A turbo pigeon oh yeah, I don'teven know their names.
(25:25):
That sounds turbo pitch.
Oh, that's the name of yourteam.
That's the name of the teamturbo pigeons.
And, uh, we were so excited tohave this guy play, but he's
like I don't, I don't have moneyto play.
I said, um, you get a tattoolike, you get the logo tattooed
done, deal on your butt.
Yeah, I'll pay for it and youdon't have to pay entrance fees
for the rest of your life.
(25:46):
And he's like I'm, I'm doing it.
And we said, okay.
So he went and got a tattoo ofthe logo on his butt.
Cheek, is he still your friend?
Is he still your friend?
Yeah, he still plays on theteam.
He's still like, have I?
I don't play on the teamanymore, but he's still there
and, uh, cause you?
And there's, there are now,just out of solidarity, there's
(26:08):
two more turbo pigeons, tattoos,and two more dudes butt cheeks.
That's hilarious, yeah, sothere's a wow three.
The guys like the tattoo guy'sprobably like I got another one.
I better put it in the book,the book of tattoos.
Yeah, because I went in once,because I want to get one
eventually.
Yeah, I just, I'm, that's a bigthing, I want to.
You know, you got to make sureit's the right thing, because
(26:29):
it's forever and unless you getit lasered off, which that just
looks even worse.
Well, yeah, no, we're going tohave to call this one tattoos
and piercings.
Okay, I don't know, becausethat's what we're talking about.
Well, I mean Body mutilation.
Angels envy body mutilation.
(26:49):
Angels Envy Body mutilation.
That's awful, perfect name.
Somebody will watch that.
We're not calling it that.
Come on, angels Envy.
The good folks at Angels Envydon't deserve that, especially
after coming up with such agreat name.
Angels Envy, claire's.
Do you know why they call itAngels Envy?
Yeah, why do they call itangels?
Yeah, why do they call it?
Take us out on this factoid,you want to, okay, it's all
(27:14):
right.
So there's, uh, there are two.
There are two things in in, um,in distilling, that happen.
I love this story.
So, as you, as you pour thewhite dog, as they call it, into
a barrel Caucasian American dog, it's just a white dog.
It's a white dog because it'sclear, it goes into the barrel
(27:36):
and that's what becomes thisbeautifully colored whiskey,
because it's essentiallyleaching the wood.
It goes in and out of the wood.
Yeah, as it expands andcontracts.
It's very similar to pickling,and a part of exactly, and a
part of that is summerfield'spickles.
It no longer exists.
I don't know why you'replugging something that nobody
(27:57):
can find.
I was just finally getting goodat sales.
It's like it's like saying um,matt, summerfield's hairline,
phil's libido, matt's podcastpartner, my mother, my mother,
(28:20):
oh no, you can't, it's too soonfor you.
Anyways, angel's Envy.
The thing goes in and out.
It goes in and out of thebarrel.
It's pickling.
It's getting soaked in the wood.
It's not pickling.
It's not pickling One minute,less than a minute, all right.
So it goes in the wood, it comesout of the wood, but another
part of that is the evaporation.
So when you crack the bunghole,oh, the bunghole, and you open
(28:50):
that sucker up to empty it.
You're all oftentimes going toget less liquid for two reasons
one, the evaporation, and two,there's some.
There's some whiskey that'sgoing to be left inside the wood
in the barrel.
Okay, the stuff that's leftinside the barrel is called the
devil's cut.
Okay, okay, there's a companyout there that's marketing that
they're saying like oh, we founda way to get it out of the wood
in the barrel and we're nowmarketing.
(29:10):
Jim Beam calls it the devil'scut.
Okay, the other is the angel'scut, which is where or angel's
share.
Yeah, Angel's share, angel'sshare.
Sorry, yeah, okay, is that whatit is?
It's the angel's share, angel,angel's share.
The evaporation the thought isthat as it evaporates, it goes
to the angels.
That's their share of thebarrel, and so it's a cute
(29:31):
little story Angels envy.
So this is the envy of all theangels, because they wish they
would have gotten this, theywish they would have gotten that
, because it's so good.
They wish they would havegotten this.
I really love the name.
It's a really, really clevername.
I don't want to drop the mic,but if I could, I would.
These are expensive, pleasedon't.
Yeah, please don't.
Thanks for that story, phil.
(29:51):
That was really good, well asgood as this.
Angels Envy.
Stamp of approval.
Oh for sure, for sure, for sure.
I don't know that we can giveit the stamp of approval because
it's more than $50.
Yeah, that's true, but $50.
Yeah, that's true.
But if you ever find it forless than $50, absolutely gets
the stamp of approval.
But even at $67, $98, $97,whatever the number is, at your
(30:17):
local Costco or Sam's Club, pickit up, pick it up, you'll enjoy
it.
Thanks, phil.
Cheers, matt, cheers, Phil.
Don't break the glasses Nexttime on Whiskey Bits.
I mean you can't fake.
You can't fake a suplex, orlike bashing somebody off of the
ropes onto a table onto theground.
(30:39):
But you're talking like youcan't fake that, no, but like
it's a stunt, right?
Yes, I mean the tables are alittle bit pre-cut, but these
guys are also 250 pounds of allmuscle so they go through a
regular table and that sort ofthing.
So those parts of it are real,but I think all the other stuff
around it is.
But if you try to tell awrestler like this isn't real,
(31:02):
it's like no, it's real.
I maybe wasn't getting actuallypunched in the face, but there
are parts of it that areabsolutely real.
I wasn't maybe wasn't gettingactually punched in the face,
right, right, right, right right.
There are parts of it that areabsolutely real.
But, like, I just like thedrama of it, you know, like it's
like the world's best soapopera.
It's exactly what it's soapopera for teenage boys.
Yeah, that's what it is.
Yeah, it's soap opera forteenage boys, but I think I was
(31:25):
convinced it was real when I wasyounger.
Oh for sure.
Hey, thanks for sticking around.
That's it for this episode ofWhiskey Bits, but if you enjoyed
yourself, please like, shareand subscribe on your favorite
platform.
I think what happens is when we hit the buttons, they
interact and they don't allowyou.
Yeah, you can't, because youever tried to?
Yeah, have you ever tried tolike?
Let's try it right now.
Use two at the same time.
Yeah, you point at each other.
It's just beep, beep.

Oh, I did it.
Oh, it totally worked.
Yeah, you did it.

(00:28):
I have no idea what's happening.
I'll tell you what time it iswhen I do, when I do this, I'll
go, we'll be fine.
Yeah, this is good.
It's nice to see you again,phil.
Matt, speed, hi, matt.
The show went well.
By the way, what show?
The comedy, the comedy showthat I did.
Oh, you texted me, that's right.
Thank you for answering my textin person three days later.
(00:50):
Appreciate that.
Two days, technically, two anda half, one and a half.
I texted you Sunday morning.
You did.
It is now Tuesday night.
That's true, phil, it isTuesday night.
That's three days.
I see, that's three days.
I see it did go.
(01:10):
Well, I did a new joke.
Yeah, uh, I just messed it up,but it was a good show.
Yeah, I did like 40 minutes.
I thought the my favorite partof you answering my text was
that I didn't show no, no, thatthat hey.
Yeah, the show went okay, likeyou set it up like it was, it
was all right.
Yeah, the show went mediocre atbest, the show went kind of bad
right, I did a new joke.
That was a bad decision.
(01:33):
Mostly welcome to whiskey bitswith matt and phil, where we sip
on everyday whiskeys and findthe funny in our everyday lives.
Most of good decisions.
Yes, amy, your lovely wife,look at this.
Guys, if you haven't seen theseglasses, I'll edit a close-up
(01:55):
in.
I'll edit a close-up in.
I doubt it If you.
I doubt you will.
So my lovely wife gave us agift for Christmas.
These are the whiskey bitsglasses.
These are what do we say?
These are etched, but they'rekind of like reverse etched.
They're like the white part isetched, so there's more etching
(02:17):
than not etching and so it likeleaves the whiskey bits.
It's really, really solidlooking.
I'll find out where she didthis and Matt will not edit in
the link to go in there.
Whiskey bits, everything we have, coasters, glasses.
Oh, we should put these forsale.
People go buy them.
That's a good idea.
That's actually a really goodidea.
(02:38):
Yeah, you too.
So thanks, amy, reallyappreciate these.
This is good.
And what's in the glass tonight?
Well, before you say that, I'mjust going to tell you, the next
time I see Amy, I'm going togive her the Whiskey Bits.
Stamp of approval, you better.
Where should I put it?
Better question when can I putit without you punching me in
the face?
In her hand?
Okay, yeah, where can I put itwithout you punching me in the
(03:03):
face?
In my?
Where can I put it without youpunching me in the face?
In my hand?
That's where you can put it.
I can put it in your hand.
Good touche, that's good.
So in the glass today, what dowe got in the glass today?
We have angels envy finishedrye oh, it's finished.
So angels envy.
They do a lot of their like,they do a lot of finished stuff.
(03:24):
So hopefully, they, hopefullythey're done when it's done.
Their regular bourbon, it's notfunny.
Their regular bourbon isfinished.
I thought it was funny.
It's finished.
Ooh, did I spill on myself?
It's finished as well.
This one, though these finishedryes are finished in Caribbean
Caribbean.
Wait, finished, though, meansthey've done this stuff.
(03:46):
Dang it, bill.
More fodder.
Caribbean, caribbean, caribbean.
What's the difference?
It doesn't matter, right?
One's a rum and one's a place.
Really, I don't know.
I think they're both a place.
This is the same exact thing.
So these are finished in rumbarrels.
Okay, from the Caribbean, theCaribbean, yeah, maybe you're
(04:10):
Caribbean.
If you're from the Caribbean,oh, that could be it.
Is that what?
It is?
Probably All right, but theregular Angel's Envy, as we all
know.
We all know it Finished in portbarrels.
Oh, and these are in rumbarrels.
These are in rum barrels.
So this is a rye whiskey.
I do like the rum.
This is 100 proof rye whiskey.
Oh, there's more of a labelover here.
(04:30):
Look at that.
Oh, look at that.
What does it say?
Look at that.
There's a batch number, 11x.
Okay, bottle number 9633.
So if anybody else has 9632,9633, well, there's only one
96-33.
If it's bottle number, right?
Oh, yeah, yeah, I was thinkingbarrel number, you were thinking
barrel.
And then there's a spot towrite down, uncorked, on date.
(04:55):
That's personal when you openit.
I don't think we should.
I didn't write it in.
How dare they ask that?
I mean, that is a personalquestion.
I did not write that one in.
So Angel's Envy comes fromLouisville, kentucky.
It's pretty well known.
When did you first get uncorked95% rye on this guy?
(05:19):
95% rye, shall we?
Let's use the Dom-Naz?
We haven't talked about that ina while.
Yeah, it's been a little bit.
Oh, wow, that's definitelyDefinitely rum.
I mean, I'm getting, but likewhat's rum?
Sweetness?
Caramel-y, caramel-y for sure.
Caramel is the thing that's onthe nose here.
(05:41):
Yeah, caramel, there's so muchcaramel, almost like.
Yeah, like, how do you makecaramel?
Sugar, sugar and water.
It's kind of like burnt sugar,right?
Yeah, there's a little bit ofthat burnt kind of nuttiness,
almost raisiny kind of driedfruit caramel.
Yeah, good color.
(06:03):
No age statement on this one,but, like I said, about 100
proof, let's give it a littletaste there.
Oh, it smells so good.
Tastes even better.
Tastes, even better.
(06:26):
This was one of those that whenI first started drinking
whiskeys, um, and getting intobourbon, I was not a big fan of
the finished stuff.
I really wanted to stick with.
You know, it's actuallystraight up what it is.
It's it's Kentucky straightbourbon, it's whatever straight
bourbon.
And uh, uh, it's only beenrecently that I've gotten into
some of the other finishes, justbecause you know bourbon is
(06:48):
good.
It's good on its own, it's goodon its own and when you can add
a little something to it.
I actually don't mind that asmuch anymore, but like there was
a.
There was a time when I was apurist and I was like, nope, I
don't do the finished stuff, Idon't like.
You were like a bourbon snob.
Well, I was just.
I wanted to experience as muchof the bourbon that I could,
(07:08):
without getting into thefinished stuff.
But this was one of the firstones that I tried that I really
really liked, and to find outthat it was finished in the rum
barrels, I was like well, Iguess I like finished stuff.
Now I don't know.
Well, it's like me with rye ingeneral.
I I was.
We had, I think, the first ryeI tried.
(07:28):
I was like I guess I like rye,I guess I like right, yeah.
And so when I, when I found out, when I first had this, some
guy named rise like no, thanks,hi, I actually like you too, me
too.
Okay, yeah, well, that wasinteresting, great, it's not the
same guy, though.
Um, so I don't know what I wasgoing to say no.
So when I found out about thisone, I was so excited that never
(07:50):
happens.
I was so excited because yousee Angel's Envy everywhere,
everywhere.
So I was like, oh well, the rye, it must be like everything
else, it should be everywhere.
Well, it is everywhere.
But if you know anything aboutthese, it is a lot more
expensive than you would think.
It is the Angel's Envy's, yeah,the rye.
Oh, like 80 bucks.
Yeah, a regular Angel's Envyyou can find for a decent price.
(08:14):
It's 40, 50 bucks, right, butthe rye, for whatever reason,
$80.
Look, it's good, it's good,it's good, it's good, it's good.
Now, is it always that it's thefinished rye that's 80?
Or is it just rye in general?
That's all they have?
Oh, that's the only rye theyhave is a finished in.
That's their signature rye Inrum, in the rum barrels.
Yeah, this isn't a specialthing.
(08:38):
Oh, this is how they.
That's just their rye.
This is how.
Always in a port barrel.
Yeah, interesting, alwaysfinished in a port barrel.
They have some otherexpressions.
Now they're coming out withsome other expressions, but
these are their.
Like a frowny face, gosh, I'dsay that I can't take you
anywhere.
It's like I can't.
Okay, yeah, that's probably agood idea.
(08:58):
It's time.
It's time.
I have not done the dad jokeloading in a long time.
Yeah, it's been a few months.
You know those stink bugs.
If you touch them at all, itkind of smells like that.
They release a stink.
Happened to me the other dayand it smelled the whole house.
Wow, does it taste like thesnake?
(09:20):
It's not good.
Alright, out of solidarity.
No, not gonna lie, it tasteslike pure gasoline.
Why do I know what gasolinetastes like?
Well, that's a story foranother time.
Man, it doesn't smell good.
Good luck, phil.
(09:40):
This will cure all your.
This is why I'm bald.
I took what you know what.
It's true, I had a sip of thatand ever since then I've been
losing more hair.
Well, this is also.
Yeah, I'll put this one back.
Oh, you're gonna save it forlater.
No, no, we're done with thatone for tonight.
(10:00):
So, anyways, I was.
I was kind of surprised to findit at $80.
And smell again, but it's yeah,especially after that, it
probably smells really good.
Yeah, but you can find this oneway closer to our typical price
points, right, and by that Imean under $70.
Yeah, mostly at Costco andSam's Club.
(10:22):
Okay, some of those places.
If you do see it, it'sdefinitely one that I would pick
up.
If you don't have it, grab it.
I don't think you're going tobe disappointed, especially if
you're looking for something alittle bit different.
You know, 100 proof rye Finishedin a rum barrel.
It drinks a little higher thana 98.
(10:43):
It's 100.
Is it exactly 100?
It drinks a little higher thana 90,.
What did you say?
98?
It's 100.
Is it exactly 100?
Yeah, oh, it drinks a littlehigher than that.
A little bit to me, but not ina bad way.
I don't know, though.
Maybe not.
I thought it was 98.
I'm saying a lot of things.
If you can tell the differencebetween 98 and 100, proof,
believe me, based on just yourtaste, after putting down some
of that swill, based on justyour taste, after putting down
(11:04):
some of that swill, maybe that'swhat it is.
Yeah, it just tastes real weirdall of a sudden.
That's because you just drankfrom the dad joke loading, just
not giving me acid reflux.
My son's baseball team last yearthey were the Angels, yeah, and
they gave I coached.
You know there was like two orthree assistant coaches.
I was one of them.
Yeah, we use the word coachedvery loosely.
(11:28):
Actually, I'm a pretty darngood baseball coach.
Yeah, I mean you look the partI did.
I was like I remember well.
Yeah, we talked about this.
Remember I choked on mysunflower seeds because I was
trying to look cool, like rookieof the year yeah, like rookie
of the year, and I actually didchoke down him.
Great scene, so good.
But they, they gifted with a uh,uh, angels envy.
Uh, the, the regular bourbon.
(11:48):
Yeah, I was like this is socool, nice and hello.
Out there.
They're also emily.
The wife is a listener.
The wife, hello, emily.
The wife of the coach, oh, thewife, yeah, the wife of the
baseball coach, or the wife ofthe team, like the wife of the
whole team, the entireorganization.
It's like you have a mom of theteam.
Well, she's the wife of theteam.
(12:08):
Oh, yeah, she'll let you knowwhen you're doing stuff that's
wrong.
That's what a mom does, that'strue, or, in our case, all right
, that's what a mom did.
Brr, brr, br.
I don't know, it's not in thelyrics.
This is so good.
(12:29):
Yeah, I like, I like this one alot.
It's not raisin or plum, it'ssomething it's like.
Maybe it's just that caramel.
It's that caramel burnt sugar,not burnt sugar, even though
it's like pre-burnt.
But yeah, rum's pretty sweetand has has some of those dried
fruit things in there.
It's fantastic.
Yeah, it's one of my favoriteryes.
(12:50):
You know, it's kind of crazythat some of my favorite whiskey
that I go back to are ryes, areryes, yeah, yeah, and not
because of the spiciness thatyou hear about, the spicy, the
spicy, not because of that, butbecause they're sweeter, like
there's a sweetness to reallygood rye, a really high rye,
(13:12):
high rye, high rye, high rye.
Hello, we shouldn't have watchedthat clip from andrew santino,
because now I just want to dolike, hey, I know, but him and
it's bobby lee, right, yeah, ishe korean?
Korean, so funny, he's korean,he is so funny.

That's why they're Korean.
Yeah, because, see, their momis Korean.
Still, that didn't change, itdidn't go away.
(13:57):
So that's good.
So what are we doing?
Is now a bad time to bring upthat korean barbecue?
Oh, I freaking love koreanbarbecue jersey.
I went to this place and it waslike a korean, uh, barbecue
wings place.
Oh, my gosh, it was good.
And they had, um, their ownhomemade kimchi.
Yeah, and oh, it's freakingincredible.
(14:18):
I can still like smell theparmesan garlic wings they made.
Hmm, darn it.
We should go get wings afterthis, should we?
Let's go get some chicken wings.
You know, I don't.
Uh, I, could you know what weshould do?

Should I order?
(14:39):
Can you order door dash?
Please, tip, though, please,please.
I'm not tipping.
Look, here's what I'm gonna say.
All right, why would I tip forsomething I could do myself?
That's a good point.
That's a very good point.
I wait, wait, you've been door.
I've been doing door dash.
Well, you know, lost, lost a bigclient and, uh, I've had to
(15:00):
humble myself a little bit.
It's a humbling thing.
I have never, ever, looked downon anybody for any type of job.
No, and we're certainly notdoing that tonight.
I'm looking down on myself.
No, that's impossible.
Unless I'm dead.
Then I will look down and I'llgo.
Huh, yeah, you really were bald, but the Nevis is gone.
(15:22):
No, I've been doing.
This is how my show went.
I would like, yeah, no, thatgot wet.
I was like, ah, let's go.
So door dash.
Um, I, I ended up sofrustrating.
Hi, jamie, uh, I'm so sad Icouldn't do my show with you at
zany's.
Yeah, but you know tough times.
I was gonna do a show at zany'slast friday.
(15:43):
I had to not do it.
Um, it was just I was gonnaopen for jamie and he's generous
enough to let me do that, and Iwas like, hey, man, like I
gotta do door dash, like I havea show I'm driving up to indiana
and I need literally need moneyfor gas, and so I door dashed
instead of doing the comedy show, which is not what I wanted to
do, but it's what I had to doand yeah, so that's kind of
(16:06):
something I'm doing on the sideright now.
I'm hoping that work, althoughI did get another client, so
hopefully I don't have to keepdoing door dash forever.
Although I did just order apizza bag, which now means I can
deliver pizza, which I don'tknow.
Maybe I'll just use it to warmmy own pizza, maybe I'll make a
pizza and put it in the bag justto be like ah, I know there's a
(16:28):
warm pizza in that bag, justfor your own knowledge.
Just that's it.
Just just just to know, justbecause that will keep you warm,
that'll keep me warm at night.
Well, like, yeah, I'll go ordera domino's pizza and put it in
the bag.
Oh, actually, you know what Ican?
Go get a domino's pizza and putit in the bag.
(16:49):
Well, I was gonna actually saylittle caesars, because oh, yeah
, like five dollars, and yeah,or the costco pizza, oh, how
much is that?
I don't't like.
Well, it's like $10.
Oh, but, but it feeds like ahundred people.
It's like 10, 10 huge slices ofpizza.
I think it's more than that.
I think it's $8.99.
(17:10):
Yeah, of course, $8.99 orsomething like that, but one
slice is like a buck fifty,anyway.
So, yeah, it's an odd job, it'san odd job, but we all have odd
jobs, we've all done.
Have you done odd jobs?
I've done some.
What was the dumbest job?
What was the weirdest job?
That wouldn't make sense forsomebody like you, looking as
you do, to do this specific joband I'm not leading into this, I
(17:31):
don't know what you're about tosay, but what would be maybe
like a job?
You're like, wow, I can'tbelieve you worked there.
Wow, that's really good.
So, um, you know, coming out ofhigh school and heading into, I
thought you didn't graduate highschool College.
What the heck dude, I didn't goto college.
Oh, I graduated high school.
Oh, okay, but I didn't go tocollege.
(17:53):
You didn't go to college.
Well, when I say I graduatedhigh school, I took my GED.
Anyways, see, I wasn't halfwrong.
See, I wasn't half wrong.
Go ahead.
You actually were exactly halfwrong.
Oh, okay, that's true.
No, you were all wrong.
I finished high school.
Yeah, ged is the same thing.
By finishing high school, Imean I have my GED.
Yeah, because I didn't actuallyfinish all four years of high
school.
Who cares?
(18:13):
You did the GED.
It's like it's GED enough.
I don't want to, I can't do it.
I can't do another one.
I should, though, probably it'snot good, it's not good enough.
So I was out of high school andworked full time while I was
(18:34):
starting to go to college and Itook on some jobs, mostly mall
jobs.
What's a mall, phil?
Remember those?
I miss the mall.
I took on some jobs, mostlymall jobs.
What's a mall, phil?
Remember those?
I miss the mall?
I do remember because I workedin them.
So in high school I worked.
In high I did a lot of theretail.
Let me guess Zoomies thatdidn't even exist when I was
(18:58):
doing retail, but I did champsports, old Bill's Hoisiery.
I did lids.
Lids, yeah, hats, of course youdid.
You're a hat guy, I, you knownot anymore, but you sold them.
I sold hats there, sold hats.
Um, I worked at a kiosk.
It like you remember, like inthe middle, oh yeah, that's the
(19:19):
best.
So I worked at, I worked at akiosk that like we would take
your picture or somebody'spicture, or somebody would bring
a picture in and I would put iton all sorts of things, like
you could put anything.
Oh yeah, t-shirts.
Oh, put on a mouse pad.
Do you remember the mouse pads?
Do you remember pictures on amouse pad?
(19:41):
I have gandalf on a mouse padright over there.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, so what we, how you wouldget that is, you would bring
that into you.
This was before amazon was athing.
You'd bring it into me.
I would take the picture, scanit into a computer, oh, create a
transfer, oh, and then put itdirectly onto a mouse pad.
Ever I freaking wanted a t-shirtwas the weirdest thing you ever
(20:02):
put it on.
Did you put on underwear?
No, no, no.
I thought you were gonna asklike the weirdest picture I put
on something.
Oh, yeah, what's the weirdestpicture, probably me.
You put you, they wanted you onsomething.
I put myself on something.
Yeah, gave it and then tried togive it to your mom.
I thought you were like I'mtrying to sell this.
Yeah, look guys, it's me.
So while I was doing that, likeyou know, retail didn't pay that
(20:26):
well and I was like I was, youknow, trying to go to school and
live on my own and do all sortsof stuff.
So I was working full time.
So I was like I can just workmaybe a couple different jobs.
Oh, ok, I can just do it, Imean whatever.
So I was, I was the third key,which was like assistant to the
assistant manager.
No, no, it was like string, itwas.
(20:49):
Yeah, it was the third key.
So there was a manager, anassistant manager and then
myself, which was the third key,which is which is also known as
just the regular employee thatworks there.
No, regular employees did nothave keys.
Oh, but I did such a good jobat lids that the hired me as
their third key.
Oh, because they saw throughand they're like, wow, that
(21:10):
guy's good.
Yeah, look at that guy, look atthis guy, he's selling those
caps.
And so I worked at Claire'sBoutique as a third key manager,
the earrings place.
Yeah, I pierced a lot of ears.
I wonder if it was you.
I have a confession.
So I have this ear pierced, did?
(21:31):
No, it's still pierced.
I could put an earring in it.
Give me an earring.
I'll put one in right now.
No, I'll call upstairs and haveMadison bring me an earring.
Mom, bring me my meatloaf.
No, bring me my meatloaf.
I got my ear pierced atClaire's Would never recommend
it.
I did, I would never.
(21:51):
I remember crying after gettingit pierced, trying to clean it.
Were you like 10 or 11?
No, I was in high schoolBecause I didn't cry to get the
ear pierced.
What was painful was thecleaning and the twisting of it
and then like trying to get it.
Also, what's gross is how theypierce ears with the gun so
(22:14):
disgusting, yeah.
How do they do that?
I mean?
I mean it's an explosion, likeyou're shooting oh really,
that's what.
Like it's taking a needle andit's blown, and like you don't
clean those things enough to getother people's like stuff off,
so like there's just justrotting flesh on there.
Oh yeah, and so you justprobably got infected from
somebody else's rotting flesh,from someone else's earlobe?
(22:34):
Yeah, lobe flesh.
Yeah, you got to watch out forthe lobe flesh.
Yeah, there's that lobe fleshdisease that's running rampant
out there right now.
And all those clairs.
Yeah, this is not endorsed, nordo we have any proof or
knowledge of any claire's lobeflesh disease.
That may or may not be presentto me.
Oh, I'm pretty sure it's welldocumented.
Oh, yeah, for sure it's outthere.
Yeah, there's a documentary onit.
I think it's actually calledlobe flesh from claire's is it's
(22:56):
actually the name.
That sounds like the name oflike advertising.
It sounds like a like a gothlotion.
Lobe flesh by claire's theweirdest rule motion that I
never understood.
But like now that, now that weknow what we know, I understand
it.
We were never allowed to, um,or parents weren't allowed to
(23:17):
like record us or take picturesof us piercing the doing.
Oh, like for, yeah, yeah, theycouldn't.
That was really store takingpictures, but that was like
really before.
Even phone like cell phones, Imean, yes, but like they would
bring their cameras and be like,no, you can't do that.
Like, well, why not?
We would have people standoutside the store and record
(23:37):
Because we're doing somethingillegal.
Apparently, you probably had tohave licenses to do this and
they're like no, you're justshooting it with a gun, that's
no problem.
Were you 18?
You were 18.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, it's like you know.
I think now, if I would havepierced my ears today, I would
go to a tattoo parlor Right,like that's where people go, yes
, but I'm like scared to gothere, why, I don't know.
(24:00):
Oh, it's so much painful.
I want to get a tattoo.
Let's do it.
Okay.
Whiskey I should get a whiskeyglass tattoo.
How about just whiskey bits?
Yeah, on my bits.
Oh, explicit, explicit, sorryfolks, that sounds painful.
Yep, I would not.
I, as dedicated as I am to thispodcast, come on, phil, that
(24:23):
would never happen.
Commit, commit to your pits.
All right, I'll get out of myleft butt cheek.
Uh, I have another.
We should do another episode onweird tattoo locations.
Oh, yes, weird and weirdtattoos in weird locations.
I have some stories.
I have one story.
It's like I have a bunch oflike, not even say your episode,
(24:44):
yeah, it's just like do youwant to hear this?
Yeah, what is it tell?
Tell us.
So.
Is this your tattoo?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
But I was.
It's someone's tattoo.
I was uniquely and intimatelyinvolved with this.
So this sounds like a storythat needs more whiskey that you
may or may not need to have analibi for, perhaps.
(25:05):
No, have an alibi for, perhapsno, no, we're okay, okay.
So, um, hockey, hockey playersdo fun things and, um, I was the
captain of a hockey team.
Fun.
Fun also means stupid, and wewere really trying to.
We were really trying to getthis one guy to play on our team
because he was just, he had allthe right energy and all the
right stuff.
A turbo pigeon oh yeah, I don'teven know their names.
(25:25):
That sounds turbo pitch.
Oh, that's the name of yourteam.
That's the name of the teamturbo pigeons.
And, uh, we were so excited tohave this guy play, but he's
like I don't, I don't have moneyto play.
I said, um, you get a tattoolike, you get the logo tattooed
done, deal on your butt.
Yeah, I'll pay for it and youdon't have to pay entrance fees
for the rest of your life.
(25:46):
And he's like I'm, I'm doing it.
And we said, okay.
So he went and got a tattoo ofthe logo on his butt.
Cheek, is he still your friend?
Is he still your friend?
Yeah, he still plays on theteam.
He's still like, have I?
I don't play on the teamanymore, but he's still there
and, uh, cause you?
And there's, there are now,just out of solidarity, there's
(26:08):
two more turbo pigeons, tattoos,and two more dudes butt cheeks.
That's hilarious, yeah, sothere's a wow three.
The guys like the tattoo guy'sprobably like I got another one.
I better put it in the book,the book of tattoos.
Yeah, because I went in once,because I want to get one
eventually.
Yeah, I just, I'm, that's a bigthing, I want to.
You know, you got to make sureit's the right thing, because
(26:29):
it's forever and unless you getit lasered off, which that just
looks even worse.
Well, yeah, no, we're going tohave to call this one tattoos
and piercings.
Okay, I don't know, becausethat's what we're talking about.
Well, I mean Body mutilation.
Angels envy body mutilation.
(26:49):
Angels Envy Body mutilation.
That's awful, perfect name.
Somebody will watch that.
We're not calling it that.
Come on, angels Envy.
The good folks at Angels Envydon't deserve that, especially
after coming up with such agreat name.
Angels Envy, claire's.
Do you know why they call itAngels Envy?
Yeah, why do they call itangels?
Yeah, why do they call it?
Take us out on this factoid,you want to, okay, it's all
(27:14):
right.
So there's, uh, there are two.
There are two things in in, um,in distilling, that happen.
I love this story.
So, as you, as you pour thewhite dog, as they call it, into
a barrel Caucasian American dog, it's just a white dog.
It's a white dog because it'sclear, it goes into the barrel
(27:36):
and that's what becomes thisbeautifully colored whiskey,
because it's essentiallyleaching the wood.
It goes in and out of the wood.
Yeah, as it expands andcontracts.
It's very similar to pickling,and a part of exactly, and a
part of that is summerfield'spickles.
It no longer exists.
I don't know why you'replugging something that nobody
(27:57):
can find.
I was just finally getting goodat sales.
It's like it's like saying um,matt, summerfield's hairline,
phil's libido, matt's podcastpartner, my mother, my mother,
(28:20):
oh no, you can't, it's too soonfor you.
Anyways, angel's Envy.
The thing goes in and out.
It goes in and out of thebarrel.
It's pickling.
It's getting soaked in the wood.
It's not pickling.
It's not pickling One minute,less than a minute, all right.
So it goes in the wood, it comesout of the wood, but another
part of that is the evaporation.
So when you crack the bunghole,oh, the bunghole, and you open
(28:50):
that sucker up to empty it.
You're all oftentimes going toget less liquid for two reasons
one, the evaporation, and two,there's some.
There's some whiskey that'sgoing to be left inside the wood
in the barrel.
Okay, the stuff that's leftinside the barrel is called the
devil's cut.
Okay, okay, there's a companyout there that's marketing that
they're saying like oh, we founda way to get it out of the wood
in the barrel and we're nowmarketing.
(29:10):
Jim Beam calls it the devil'scut.
Okay, the other is the angel'scut, which is where or angel's
share.
Yeah, Angel's share, angel'sshare.
Sorry, yeah, okay, is that whatit is?
It's the angel's share, angel,angel's share.
The evaporation the thought isthat as it evaporates, it goes
to the angels.
That's their share of thebarrel, and so it's a cute
(29:31):
little story Angels envy.
So this is the envy of all theangels, because they wish they
would have gotten this, theywish they would have gotten that
, because it's so good.
They wish they would havegotten this.
I really love the name.
It's a really, really clevername.
I don't want to drop the mic,but if I could, I would.
These are expensive, pleasedon't.
Yeah, please don't.
Thanks for that story, phil.
(29:51):
That was really good, well asgood as this.
Angels Envy.
Stamp of approval.
Oh for sure, for sure, for sure.
I don't know that we can giveit the stamp of approval because
it's more than $50.
Yeah, that's true, but $50.
Yeah, that's true.
But if you ever find it forless than $50, absolutely gets
the stamp of approval.
But even at $67, $98, $97,whatever the number is, at your
(30:17):
local Costco or Sam's Club, pickit up, pick it up, you'll enjoy
it.
Thanks, phil.
Cheers, matt, cheers, Phil.
Don't break the glasses Nexttime on Whiskey Bits.
I mean you can't fake.
You can't fake a suplex, orlike bashing somebody off of the
ropes onto a table onto theground.
(30:39):
But you're talking like youcan't fake that, no, but like
it's a stunt, right?
Yes, I mean the tables are alittle bit pre-cut, but these
guys are also 250 pounds of allmuscle so they go through a
regular table and that sort ofthing.
So those parts of it are real,but I think all the other stuff
around it is.
But if you try to tell awrestler like this isn't real,
(31:02):
it's like no, it's real.
I maybe wasn't getting actuallypunched in the face, but there
are parts of it that areabsolutely real.
I wasn't maybe wasn't gettingactually punched in the face,
right, right, right, right right.
There are parts of it that areabsolutely real.
But, like, I just like thedrama of it, you know, like it's
like the world's best soapopera.
It's exactly what it's soapopera for teenage boys.
Yeah, that's what it is.
Yeah, it's soap opera forteenage boys, but I think I was
(31:25):
convinced it was real when I wasyounger.
Oh for sure.
Hey, thanks for sticking around.
