Welcome back to Whiskey Bits with Matt and Phil—the show where we sip everyday whiskeys and spiral into hilarious rabbit holes.
In this episode, we’re cracking open Bulleit Bourbon Bottled in Bond (2017 distillation) to see if eight years in a barrel was worth the wait. Spoiler alert: we may have expected more from this one.
Along the way, we debate black cherry notes, talk about performing at a speakeasy in deeply underdressed flannel, revisit childhood theater trauma, and land on a full-blown conversation about which era in history we’d travel to—because obviously, that’s what bourbon does to us.
Also featuring:
- Matt’s Trump impression (kinda)
- A discussion on etiquette and dressing like Don Draper
- And why Matt might actually be a Muppet.
📦 Would we recommend this Bulleit? Watch to find out. Or don’t. But you should.

Well, it was Whiskey Bits, Idon't know.
It was like Not Whiskey Bits.
We were like, oh wait, it'sgonna have some Whiskey Bits.
(00:22):
It was just Whiskey Bits.
We were just singing.
Oh, we were just saying whiskeybits, yeah, over like a drum
and guitar beat.
Oh yeah, that's what it was.
We had like a little groovething going and it wasn't that.
It was definitely slower andbluesier.
It was really cool.
It kind of sounded like ourintro music.
(00:44):
Welcome to Whiskey Bits withMatt and Phil, where we sip on
everyday whiskeys and find thefunny in our everyday lives.
That was good.
That was good.
You did it, phil.

Another year of episodes.
We're ready to go.
Yeah, we're hitting the.
Let's do it.
The ground running.
Let's do it.
Let's do it Okay.
To another year, to anotheryear, okay, okay, ready for some
smell?
Yeah, I don't even know whatwe're doing.
(01:26):
Okay, let's switch it up alittle bit.
Oh, what do you smell?
Okay, while you talk thatthrough, I'm going to talk to
you guys about this.
Who am I talking it throughWith myself?
Just say stuff.
Okay, you usually interrupt meanyway.
Today we're doing the bulletbourbon.
Uh, this is the bottled andbond.
I smell bullets, you do.
(01:47):
Yeah, wow, that's good.
This is a very special bottlingof the bullet bourbon bottled
and bond.
This is from the 2017distillation season.
Oh, wow, 2017, that's eightyears ago.
So that's pretty cool.
Wait, does that mean the?
It's like a double bond?
I don't know.
(02:08):
Yeah, well, because bottle andbond has to be four years, right
, not exactly right.
It has to be at least fouryears, at least four years, at
least four years.
And now it's.
Now it is eight, this one'seight.
Still 100 proof.
Okay, still has to be from thesame season, from the same
distiller.
Uh-huh, all of that stuff, butyeah, so this is an eight year.
(02:31):
Maybe like a slight blackcherry?
Yeah, okay, cool.
Now I have had the Black CherryWarhead ghost drink today.
Okay, is that like a ghostpepper?
I wish.
Okay, it would probably bebetter for me Than the ghost
(02:52):
drink.
I've been slowly sipping it allday, really, yeah, and we shoot
these at night and it's stillnot empty.
It's one of those tall-.
Is it like an energy drink?
Yeah, oh, how much.
What's the most?
I have a question.
I have black cherry.
Huh, I have an answer Blackcherry.
(03:13):
I mean, I do smell something.
I do smell something that'skind of like a rich fruity type
of smell.
That's what I'm getting at.
I don't know that I wouldnecessarily have landed on black
cherry.
I think that's very specific.
But I also wouldn't sit hereand say you're wrong, you're
over.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
I can't even do it, I can'teven Wrong.
(03:39):
You're wrong, that's good,that's pretty good.
The second one was good, it wasgood.
The second and the third onethat's good, that's pretty good.
That was the second one, it wasgood.
The the second and the thirdone.
I think probably you're wrong.
It doesn't even matter if it'sgood, it's just funny.
It's kind of funny, all right.
So you smell black cherry, I do.
(04:00):
I, there's a.
There's a fruity.
Yeah, that's, there is a fruity.
Yeah, that's what I was tryingto get at.
I like that.
You like the fruitiness?
I do kind of like thefruitiness.
Yeah, you kind of like thefruitiness and a whiskey, yeah,
and a whiskey, you like that?
Yeah, matt, that feels prettygood.
All right, matt, all right,good, matt, okay.
Yeah, all right, phil, not aswell, I not as well.
(04:29):
I don't taste any fruit.
No, I was gonna say really not.
I thought maybe for a minutethere, but it's warm, yeah, it's
warm, like it goes down, warm,it does.
Yeah, it's a warming, it's awarming sense.
I'm getting a warming sensationin my chest, into my gut, in my
gullet.
Yeah, not a fruit, I mean, it'snot fruity, but it's not fruity
(04:56):
.
Does that make sense?
Nope, okay, yeah, it's not thelevel of some sort of fruit,
because I couldn't put a name toit either Black cherry, I
thought, because it was morerich, yeah, not chocolatey rich,
but then in drinking it I'dhave to do it again.
Yeah, don't worry about it,we're going to do the water.
(05:18):
Water would have been good here.
Instead, we could just drinkmore whiskey Right from the dad
joke loading.
Shout out to dad, joke loading.
Water would have been good here.
Instead, we could just drinkmore whiskey Right From the dad
joke loading.
Shout out to dad, joke loading.
That wasn't the song, I don'tknow, but I'm not offended.
Not offended.
No, there's a chance it couldbe good.
Yeah, I don't.
You know what.
I'm having a hard time findingsomething specific to say On the
(05:41):
palate.
On the palate, yeah, to say Onthe palate, on the palate.
On the nose I'm getting fruit,but on the palate I'm not sure.
There's a slight bitterness toit in the aftertaste, I think,
but it's not something thatstays, it's not like a staleness
, it's not an unpleasant bitter.
No, I don't mind bitter, Idon't mind bitterness, unless
(06:06):
you're like, you know, arelative and you're bitter about
something that I'm like get outof here.
Is this one of those where thesmell is better than the taste
for you?
Yeah, yeah, just like by alittle bit.
I'm enjoying, I enjoy the aroma, yeah, the aroma, way more than
(06:29):
the.
What I get on the palate, eventhe front and the back, the side
, it's the middle, and for aneight year I'm a little
surprised.
You would.
You would think that it wouldbe more.
Sorry.
What happened there?
I was getting choked up.
I just you sounded a littlelike Wrong, you're wrong.
(06:50):
I wasn't joking, you're wrong,wrong, wrong.
Again, it started to sound likean Italian or a Jew or
something like wrong.
Listen, you're wrong abouteverything.
You know.
He's from New York.
He's from New York.
Yeah, does do it Wrong.
(07:12):
Why is this so funny?
I don't know.
I've never laughed this hard atyour Trump impressions.
I don't do good impressions.
You do some good impressions, Idon't know it's I.
I do some good impression, Idon't know.
You know it's not giving me agood impression.
No, I mean, it's a kind of kindof here's the thing, but it's
(07:33):
100 proof, right?
So would you, overall, expectit to have more depth of flavor
versus?
Okay, let me ask this Wouldsomething that's like 123 proof
but four year, be comparable tothis, or would that still be?
Can you not really do that?
(07:55):
Right, I don't really think youcan do that.
It's so hard to.
Or would a higher proof at thesame age?
Because this could have comeout at 123 and they had to add
water and proof it down to 100,because it's bottled in bond and
it may taste totally differentcoming out of the barrel, right,
and now, with that, you'retalking about a barrel proof.
So I really don't think it'sreally hard to say.
(08:17):
But this is a whole specialthing, right?
I mean it's special becauseBullet hasn't released a bottled
in bond before, right, I meanit's special because Bullet
hasn't released a Bottled andBond before.
Oh, from what I know, this istheir first Bottled and Bond.
Was that a pick, not a pick?
Oh, okay, not a pick.
It's not a single barrel, it'snot a single barrel.
Oh, so it was just the Bottledand Bond.
(08:37):
Okay, yeah, yeah, because Iremember when we picked it up,
yeah and yeah, and I was like itlooks special.
Is that the one that I didn'twant to return?
Mm-hmm, I can never remember ifyou can actually return alcohol
in Illinois or not.
I can't remember if it'sIllinois or Wisconsin that you
can return alcohol.
Probably Wisconsin, yeah, it'smy guess.
(08:59):
It's one of them.
You can't, yeah, and I can'tremember which.
Yeah, wisconsin, I feel likeyou can do a lot more, but you
found this one at a decent price.
I'd say it was a decent price,yeah, but then I found it for
like $10 or $12 less and I waslike, well, I'll just buy this
one.
Yeah, but I was like in the car.
I was home, matt, can you takethis back?
(09:20):
You were taking a bath while Iwas on the phone with you.
Yeah, what's wrong with that?
No, no, it's usually.
I mean, nine times out of ten.
You're in the bathroom.
In the bathroom doing something.
Nine times out of ten that Italk to you and I would say that
70% of that, 90%, you're takinga poop.
60% of the time Matt's on thetoilet, every time, every time
Matt is on the toilet.
(09:40):
Well, take that listener, thereyou go, put that image in your
mind.
Yeah, I would let this one openup a little bit.
Let's see what happens as wemove through the episode.
Maybe it'll tell us something,but right now I don't like
saying the word stale because Ifeel like that's mean.
But I know what you're saying.
The taste is kind of on thatDustiness or a staleness or
(10:04):
something Maybe.
And I mean it did sit in therefor eight years.
That's true, it's, you know,but it's definitely not.
The nose and the palate are not.
They're not meshing well, theyain't brothers, they're not
meshing well.
I don't think we could see whathappens as it opens up.
(10:29):
Maybe it needs more time.
It could just need more time.
Yeah, who knows, you know what?
What?
What was fun?
Let me hear this transition,let me hear how you do it.
You know, what does need moretime is my joke writing.
I tell you like it is hard.
So january of this year I had ashow every friday and every
saturday, which was awesome.
(10:50):
It was intimidating.
But then, like, once you get inthe groove of of doing it, it's
kind of like when you're doinga play, like you do, you know, I
think remember in high schoolwe were doing shows like three,
four, weekend, and so you'rejust, you're on and you do two
weekends and then you do, likeyou know, shows for for the
schools and stuff.
So mid, uh, like thursdays, youdo a show, so you get used to
(11:13):
doing it.
The grade schools, yeah, likein the junior high, yeah, they
would come in and they wouldcome see your show, come see the
high schoolers and yeah,they're.
Well, this was like, yeah,youth theater, so it wasn't,
yeah, part of another school butof another school, but yeah, so
we would do that.
And so this was very similarthis January of this year, where
I was doing a show every Friday, saturday and then, and then it
(11:36):
just kind of stopped.
I just haven't been booked asmuch, which is fine.
I've been busy in other areastoo, but when you have like a
month between doing showsbecause I'm not like just
haven't been booked as much,which which is fine.
I've been busy in other areastoo.
But when you have like a monthbetween doing shows because I'm
not like actively trying to getin the clubs right now when you
have like a month in betweenshows, you're like, okay, am I
do?
I remember this stuff and it'slike, oh, I do, um, but yeah,
(11:57):
it's just interesting.
I had a private, a privatebirthday party, nice, actually
one of our listeners.
That's fun, shout out, that's alot of fun.
Yeah, it was awesome.
It was in like a speakeasy.
Have you seen the lounge?
No, have you heard of Lou'sLounge?
No, oh man, it's really cool.
Yeah, where is it the DoleMansion in Crystal Lake?
(12:19):
Okay, and like, is that over bythe um, by the beach?
Yep, right across the streetthere, yep, like right, my
little, yeah, and the thing thatwas the giant, the thing that
looks like a mansion, is amansion.
That big house right, just witha circle drive in front.
Yeah, that's the dull mansion.
It's not just like a bunch ofhouses connected.
No, it's like one house.
(12:40):
Okay, well, it's not a houseanymore now, it's's whatever, it
is All right.
Yeah, but they have this reallycool, like I did not know it
existed.
I knew I was going to the dole.
Isn't it the purpose of aspeakeasy?
That's true, that's a goodpoint.
And the police came at the endand they told us to get out of
there.
And they had the batons to getout of there.
(13:03):
And they had their batons andthey started beating people with
them.
Um, I don't know, I didn't knowwhere that was going.
It's really good, I do, you do,I do, I do.
It was just going a place thatprobably I know where we're
going gonna get censored.
Yeah, um, by nobody, becauseI'm not gonna censor it.
It's just too much work.
It's a lot of work to editthese shows.
I haven't even edited our yearepisode yet.
Will he ever?
(13:24):
Who knows?
Yes, he will.
It's that unknown episode.
It's the one that we've kepthinting at being there and has
never actually been released.
We'll release it, like with thetwo year episode.
We're like mid-year.
(13:48):
Here's the best of season two.
It's the end of season one.
The best of season two is theend of season one.
It was this speakeasy and I showup and I'm in my jeans and my
flannel and everyone else, whichI think you know what I'm going
to.
I'll wear the flannel next week.
So you know what I'm talkingabout.
(14:09):
For next week's episode, I'llwear the flannel.
Don't wear it next week, fine,go ahead and wear it next week.
So I show up and I knew rightaway.
I pulled up and I see peoplegetting out and I saw the
entrance to the speakeasy and Iwas like, okay, that's cool,
lose lounge.
But like I wasn't sure ifthat's where the party was.
But then I see people dressedin, like I see first of all the
(14:31):
graphics and it looks high end.
And then I see people walkingin with presents and they are
dressed in cocktail attire.
Yeah, and I'm in jeans and aflannel shirt.
Oh my gosh.
And so I go in.
You need to go rent a tux?
Well, I go in and like youdon't even know.
(14:54):
Well, first of all, I didn'tread, obviously, the Invitation,
obviously.
And so why would you do that?
Why would I read it?
Like I just show up.
So why would you do that?
Why would I read it?
Like I just show up and I getthere and I was like, ah crap,
I'm like I'm going to, I'munderdressed, I'm like thank the
Lord, this was like just downthe street, but like if this was
in the city.
I'd have been.
I'd have to go to like H and Moutlet or something.
(15:14):
Do they have one down there?
It's a store, huh, I don't know, hollister and mackerel or
something, I don't know.
No, oh, our feet touched.
Okay, stay on your side, stayon your side, stay in your lane,
stay in your lane anyway.
So I get in there and I'm like,oh well, you know, maybe it'll
(15:35):
be fine, like, maybe it's just acouple people are dressed,
maybe I'll be fine.
I get in.
No, everybody.
The person whose birthday it waswas in a dress and I was like
crap, and everyone's dressed upin suits and ties.
Did you leave?
I was like, and I said happybirthday.
I was like I feel like I'mreally underdressed and she's
like no, no, no, you're fine,you're fine, like.
(15:56):
I feel like I'm underdressed.
I'm like it's your birthday,like.
And then I see the, the um, theguy, her husband, the guy that
hired me, and he's like hey, andhe kind of like looked at me
and I was like he thinks, and Iwas like I think I'm
underdressed and he kind of likedidn't say anything, he goes
well, or something like that.
I was like I'm underdressed,I'm going to go back and change.
And so I drove home and I got,you know dress pants and a nice
(16:20):
dress shirt and came back but,yeah, it was the right call to
do that.
Yeah, but yeah, man, you know,it would have been a better call
to read the invitation.
Yes, well, it's like you, wouldyou?
I thought for a second, well,okay, I'm doing comedy, so maybe
I can get away with it, causeI'm like the comedian.
(16:40):
But then I was like I just no,you should, you're the.
Yeah, like I, you're the show,I'm the show.
You should have been moredressed up than everybody else.
I should have looked like JamesBond.
Honestly, you should have had atuxedo, well.
But here's the thing I don'tknow with this.
Look Like this, look hereshaved head and beard fits
(17:00):
really well with flannel anddoes not look that good with a
suit.
You gotta, you gotta figure itout.
I don't know what to do.
You've got to figure.
Do I get plugs?
No, don't.
You've got to find the rightsuit and everything you have to
find the right suit.
You gotta, we'll work on it.
But I probably need to shave myhead complete, like always.
(17:20):
Have it shaped.
Maybe I feel like a StanleyTucci vibe, but he doesn't have
a beard.
I mean, we'll figure this out,we gotta figure this out.
Yeah, but also, please read theinvitations.
Do you do that, do you like?
When you get invitations, likewhat is your party party,
because I want to tell you aboutwhat happened on the stage.
(17:41):
Here's the thing I want to hearabout.
How do you, when I get aninvitation, yeah, just say no.
I am shocked.
People don't invite me to things.
Why, I don't know.
But you have, we were justtalking earlier off offline, we
were talking about your shoecollection and you have very
fancy things and so sure youshould be getting invites.
Yeah, because they would belike this guy, I'll dress up.
(18:01):
You know, I don't know whypeople invite me to stuff.
I well, I don't dress up.
Clearly, they didn't reallyinvite you.
They hired, that's true, well,but it was a surprise.
It was a surprise, yeah.
So so who hired you?
So I got the husband, but Ithink the wife invited me, oh,
(18:23):
but didn't know.
She didn't know about it.
Oh, well, that's nice.
Did she invite the entirefamily or just you?
No, she invited Madison too,okay, but then we had Easter
Sunday, no, easter Saturday, soshe couldn't go.
Ah, that sucked, yeah, so thenI was there in my flannel.
That would have been part ofthe problem, but that would have
helped solve the problem.
If she was invited and shewould have been like wait a
(18:46):
minute, she would have read theinvitation.
Yeah, you are way underdressed,because I came in I was like
cocktail attire cocktail and Ijust walked to my closet and
changed.
I was like cocktail attire andI left.
That's good, you were going tosay something, because I said,
yeah, people invite you, but yousaid they don't.
I would absolutely check to makesure that I'm wearing something
(19:09):
that's appropriate in whateverway I needed to.
I mean, how many ways do youneed to check?
Is it either you look at thelocation?
Okay, go online and take a lookat what is recommended there.
Yeah, I think it did say Lou'sLounge too.
Look at the type of party it is, who's going to be there,
(19:36):
obviously, where it is, ifthere's a theme.
I think there were a lot ofclues, all of these things.
I think I remember theinvitation looking fancy, like
kind of a Great Gatsby-esque oh,which makes sense because it
was a 1920s speakeasy lounge didnot compute.
So I thought, oh, flannel,obviously right, it's crystal,
like I have a beard.
Yeah, I'll be fine.
(19:57):
Clearly, I can't wear a suit.
It's a speakeasy.
I think think I getuncomfortable.
I get uncomfortable, you know,like Dwight, when he wears a
long sleeve shirt and he getsuncomfortable.
That's how I am, like I getuncomfortable being dressed.
I just want to be like this.
This, this, hand me down fromJared.
Thanks, jared, yep, I try toget as much of his clothes as
possible.
(20:17):
Is that weird?
That's a weird thing to sayOkay, but I like him, he's got
good taste.
But this, eh, you know, thewrists, like I don't, it's a
little Like it's loose enough,but like if any tighter and I
just be like I can't.
Well, luckily his biceps arehuge, right, so you have some.
He's stretched it out.
He's stretched it out.
(20:38):
Well, his wrist muscles Do youhave muscles in your wrists?
Yeah, I think you do.
Yeah, his, yes, just yeah, theyactually left an imprint.
You know, like those musclesuits you can buy, like this
kind of, I don't wash it, I justput it on and it's like stiff.
Yeah, yeah, just all muscle.
It's good.
So you're okay.
(20:59):
Etiquette all right here.
So you're okay, it's important.
Etiquette is huge.
It's huge.
I'm just not into it, I know.
I just I feel like it's like Ijust don't want to.
I know it just takes so muchtime, I know, but I feel like I
look pretty good Eventually.
Yeah, like when I try, I'm like, oh, it makes you feel pretty
(21:22):
good.
Sure, I'm like.
And is this what people walk ina city?
That's what you wear.
Just, walking in a city, youhave to wear that, right?
No, even if you don't have ajob To go in a city, you have to
have a trench coat.
Uh, you probably should, right?
Yeah, I've heard new york cityis that way.
Yeah, you have to have a trench.
Well, the first time I went tonew york city, I wore dress
(21:44):
shoes and I didn't have anyother pair and I there was no
uber and and I walked from my,from like 12th street, all the
way to central park.
It's just way too long, wow.
And then I walked throughcentral park.
Yeah, yeah, had some blisties.
That's, that's, that's, that's,that's wild.
(22:08):
So would you say, would you saythat if you, if you were to pick
an era that you would travel toin time, it has to be in the
past.
Obviously, you can't pick afuture era, right, because we
wouldn't really know what'shappening there.
I would pick the future erabecause it's going to be cool,
maybe.
Have you been there?
(22:28):
No, I don't.
Do you think that there werepeople in the 80s that were like
, I want to travel to 2020?
The 2020s?
Yeah, probably.
Maybe when they got here,that's true, but it wasn't
anything like that.
The future was always the 80sin the future.
For those movies, yeah, it wasalways the future.
(22:51):
But 80s style never changed.
Right, it was neon everywhere.
Right, it's like neoneverywhere, right, right, mc
Hammer music.
Do you have an era that you like?
It kind of sounds like you'dlove to be in the 20s.
Well, that's the thing.
The roaring 20s.
Well, I think.
Why an Australian accent?
Right, well, I would like to bein Australia in the 20s, the
roaring 20s, the rolling 20s,the rolling 20s.
(23:12):
I don't think you would,because of all of the emus.
Oh, that's right, go ahead.
I think I like the speakeasykind of mobster, but that's like
you're talking a wider spanthan just a decade.
So you're talking like 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s.
I don't know if I'd go thatdeep.
I think 50s is the latest.
It's probably.
(23:33):
For me, honestly, it's probably30s and 40s.
Okay, just because I liked thatkind of I don't want to say
lifestyle, because there was alot of not good stuff about it,
obviously, but just the mannersand the suits and the class, I
don't know, I don't know, it'sprobably because I was super
(23:55):
close with my grandparents, yeah, yeah.
So I mean it's definitely acool.
I think it's definitely a coolera.
But, like, do you think peoplein the 20s, if they were asked
that question, do you think theywere like man, I really miss
1776?
Where we were, just you know,like when we had to have a
tourniquet and like, hey, maybeyou'll keep the arm, maybe you
won't, we don't know, probably,don't get a cold, you might die
(24:20):
Probably.
What was their favorite era?
What's yours?
I would pick the 60s.
I'd pick like the Were you bornin the 60s, you're a jerk.
I knew you weren't.
No, I, you weren't.
(24:40):
Um, no, I like before beatles orafter beatles, because it's
very different.
Well, I think, I think it wouldbe the whole, that whole time,
right?
So, like what do you meanbefore beatles or after the
beatles?
Like, I'm just thinking they'reokay.
Maybe I'm like the early 60s,like 62.
Before weed, before weed orafter weed?
Before hippies Is hippies, 70s,yeah, oh Well, late 60s, no, I
(25:02):
feel like 60s, 70s, becausethere's like the classiness of
60s, yeah, would you like me toexplain this or would you like
to continue?
I'm going to tell you.
Please tell me what I wouldlike the most about it.
Go ahead, I would think theearly 60s, early 60s, early to
mid 60s would be a nice, justkind of in that time frame.
(25:23):
I think it's really the reasonis, everyday vehicles like
family sedans were like theChevelle and the Camaro and the
Mustang.
Is that where they got theirname From the car?
Huh, chevelle, the band, yeah,did they get the name from the
(25:44):
car?
Did they own a Chevelle?
Yeah, it's where they got theirname.
Yeah, huh, did they ever haveone?
They're just like, yeah, welike that car, have one.
They're just like, yeah, welike that car.
No, they're.
Um, dad was really big intotheir like old, old muscle cars,
huh, and had a chevelle, huh,at one point.
So you like the 60s, I thinkthe 60s would be a fun time to
(26:08):
be around.
I think for cars, you're right,it is vehicles, yeah, oh yeah,
because that's kind of cool,yeah, to think through, I think,
everything else about the 60s.
First of all, the music wouldbe fantastic.
Would love to see Jimi Hendrixplay.
Yeah, that would have been cool.
Woodstock would have been wild.
Well, we can go to Woodstockanytime.
(26:30):
It's like right down the street, not that Woodstock.
Bonham Ching yeah, interestingFrom a music standpoint.
Buddy Holly Good stuff there.
That's Weezer singing aboutBuddy Holly.
But was Buddy Holly in the 60sor 50s?
(26:52):
I want to say even before that,really, yeah, what do I know?
I love it.
See, I get confused.
So the 60s there's that littleportion at the beginning that's
kind of 50s-esque, right, yeah,always.
But then it changes into thehippie kind of thing.
(27:14):
I'm not a fan of that.
I'm not into the hippie kind ofthing.
I'm not a fan of that.
I'm not a big hippie kind ofthing, but like the classier
kind of Don Draper kind of stuff, like right before that.
That's like to me that's 40s,50s.
Yeah, I think that's where Iwould land.
Yeah, okay, all right, so we'renot far away from each, but I'm
just really old right now.
(27:45):
The question wasn't if you couldlive in the time.
The question was if you couldtravel to it.
Oh, just go and check it outand just be a part of it.
I mean, who wouldn't want to gosee old gengi con, you know
like, let's go back further.
Genghis Khan, genghi, genghi,that's my.
Is that what you call yourgrandma?
Yeah, yes, I call my grandmaGenghi.
Her real name is Genghis Khan.
(28:06):
I call her Genghi as a pet name.
Okay, I mean, maybe that's afuture topic, like the weirdest
names that that like grandmas goby.
Yes, right, because there'slike grandma, granny, nana's
gigi, but like gang.
Gang, I thought was like it'sprobably what he called his
(28:29):
grandma.
It could be.
It was probably why he took thename gang, because oh, look,
little baby gangas, nobody namestheir kid Genghis.
Like Well, somebody did Well,okay, some con Speaking of Did
it get better for you?
I don't think so, man.
So 50 bucks.
I don't know that I could sitthere and say I would mix it.
(28:53):
You got to have this.
No, I don't know that I woulddo that.
I don't know that it gets theany stamp of any approval.
It's okay.
So sorry, bullet, but here wego.
I'll drink more of you.
Yeah, we'll see if it getsbetter, but first I got to get
worse.

(29:35):
one of the old guys up in thecity.
No, it's the bear.
Oh, is it Fozzie?
No, like the big bear, he'susually like he's a giant.
Oh, that one, I don't know man,maybe it's me, maybe it's you,
I just don't know.
It's a bear.
I'm pretty sure that's what hesounds like.
(29:56):
I'm the bear from the Muppets.
I think he plays a cop in oneof the movies.
Hey, maybe that's theimpression I can do.

We were like, oh wait, it'sgonna have some Whiskey Bits.
(00:22):
It was just Whiskey Bits.
We were just singing.
Oh, we were just saying whiskeybits, yeah, over like a drum
and guitar beat.
Oh yeah, that's what it was.
We had like a little groovething going and it wasn't that.
It was definitely slower andbluesier.
It was really cool.
It kind of sounded like ourintro music.
(00:44):
Welcome to Whiskey Bits withMatt and Phil, where we sip on
everyday whiskeys and find thefunny in our everyday lives.
That was good.
That was good.
You did it, phil.

We're doing this right, like wejust need to say officially we
are doing a full.
Another year of episodes.
We're ready to go.
Yeah, we're hitting the.
Let's do it.
The ground running.
Let's do it.
Let's do it Okay.
To another year, to anotheryear, okay, okay, ready for some
smell?
Yeah, I don't even know whatwe're doing.
(01:26):
Okay, let's switch it up alittle bit.
Oh, what do you smell?
Okay, while you talk thatthrough, I'm going to talk to
you guys about this.
Who am I talking it throughWith myself?
Just say stuff.
Okay, you usually interrupt meanyway.
Today we're doing the bulletbourbon.
Uh, this is the bottled andbond.
I smell bullets, you do.
(01:47):
Yeah, wow, that's good.
This is a very special bottlingof the bullet bourbon bottled
and bond.
This is from the 2017distillation season.
Oh, wow, 2017, that's eightyears ago.
So that's pretty cool.
Wait, does that mean the?
It's like a double bond?
I don't know.
(02:08):
Yeah, well, because bottle andbond has to be four years, right
, not exactly right.
It has to be at least fouryears, at least four years, at
least four years.
And now it's.
Now it is eight, this one'seight.
Still 100 proof.
Okay, still has to be from thesame season, from the same
distiller.
Uh-huh, all of that stuff, butyeah, so this is an eight year.
(02:31):
Maybe like a slight blackcherry?
Yeah, okay, cool.
Now I have had the Black CherryWarhead ghost drink today.
Okay, is that like a ghostpepper?
I wish.
Okay, it would probably bebetter for me Than the ghost
(02:52):
drink.
I've been slowly sipping it allday, really, yeah, and we shoot
these at night and it's stillnot empty.
It's one of those tall-.
Is it like an energy drink?
Yeah, oh, how much.
What's the most?
I have a question.
I have black cherry.
Huh, I have an answer Blackcherry.
(03:13):
I mean, I do smell something.
I do smell something that'skind of like a rich fruity type
of smell.
That's what I'm getting at.
I don't know that I wouldnecessarily have landed on black
cherry.
I think that's very specific.
But I also wouldn't sit hereand say you're wrong, you're
over.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
I can't even do it, I can'teven Wrong.
(03:39):
You're wrong, that's good,that's pretty good.
The second one was good, it wasgood.
The second and the third onethat's good, that's pretty good.
That was the second one, it wasgood.
The the second and the thirdone.
I think probably you're wrong.
It doesn't even matter if it'sgood, it's just funny.
It's kind of funny, all right.
So you smell black cherry, I do.
(04:00):
I, there's a.
There's a fruity.
Yeah, that's, there is a fruity.
Yeah, that's what I was tryingto get at.
I like that.
You like the fruitiness?
I do kind of like thefruitiness.
Yeah, you kind of like thefruitiness and a whiskey, yeah,
and a whiskey, you like that?
Yeah, matt, that feels prettygood.
All right, matt, all right,good, matt, okay.
Yeah, all right, phil, not aswell, I not as well.
(04:29):
I don't taste any fruit.
No, I was gonna say really not.
I thought maybe for a minutethere, but it's warm, yeah, it's
warm, like it goes down, warm,it does.
Yeah, it's a warming, it's awarming sense.
I'm getting a warming sensationin my chest, into my gut, in my
gullet.
Yeah, not a fruit, I mean, it'snot fruity, but it's not fruity
(04:56):
.
Does that make sense?
Nope, okay, yeah, it's not thelevel of some sort of fruit,
because I couldn't put a name toit either Black cherry, I
thought, because it was morerich, yeah, not chocolatey rich,
but then in drinking it I'dhave to do it again.
Yeah, don't worry about it,we're going to do the water.
(05:18):
Water would have been good here.
Instead, we could just drinkmore whiskey Right from the dad
joke loading.
Shout out to dad, joke loading.
Water would have been good here.
Instead, we could just drinkmore whiskey Right From the dad
joke loading.
Shout out to dad, joke loading.
That wasn't the song, I don'tknow, but I'm not offended.
Not offended.
No, there's a chance it couldbe good.
Yeah, I don't.
You know what.
I'm having a hard time findingsomething specific to say On the
(05:41):
palate.
On the palate, yeah, to say Onthe palate, on the palate.
On the nose I'm getting fruit,but on the palate I'm not sure.
There's a slight bitterness toit in the aftertaste, I think,
but it's not something thatstays, it's not like a staleness
, it's not an unpleasant bitter.
No, I don't mind bitter, Idon't mind bitterness, unless
(06:06):
you're like, you know, arelative and you're bitter about
something that I'm like get outof here.
Is this one of those where thesmell is better than the taste
for you?
Yeah, yeah, just like by alittle bit.
I'm enjoying, I enjoy the aroma, yeah, the aroma, way more than
(06:29):
the.
What I get on the palate, eventhe front and the back, the side
, it's the middle, and for aneight year I'm a little
surprised.
You would.
You would think that it wouldbe more.
Sorry.
What happened there?
I was getting choked up.
I just you sounded a littlelike Wrong, you're wrong.
(06:50):
I wasn't joking, you're wrong,wrong, wrong.
Again, it started to sound likean Italian or a Jew or
something like wrong.
Listen, you're wrong abouteverything.
You know.
He's from New York.
He's from New York.
Yeah, does do it Wrong.
(07:12):
Why is this so funny?
I don't know.
I've never laughed this hard atyour Trump impressions.
I don't do good impressions.
You do some good impressions, Idon't know it's I.
I do some good impression, Idon't know.
You know it's not giving me agood impression.
No, I mean, it's a kind of kindof here's the thing, but it's
(07:33):
100 proof, right?
So would you, overall, expectit to have more depth of flavor
versus?
Okay, let me ask this Wouldsomething that's like 123 proof
but four year, be comparable tothis, or would that still be?
Can you not really do that?
(07:55):
Right, I don't really think youcan do that.
It's so hard to.
Or would a higher proof at thesame age?
Because this could have comeout at 123 and they had to add
water and proof it down to 100,because it's bottled in bond and
it may taste totally differentcoming out of the barrel, right,
and now, with that, you'retalking about a barrel proof.
So I really don't think it'sreally hard to say.
(08:17):
But this is a whole specialthing, right?
I mean it's special becauseBullet hasn't released a bottled
in bond before, right, I meanit's special because Bullet
hasn't released a Bottled andBond before.
Oh, from what I know, this istheir first Bottled and Bond.
Was that a pick, not a pick?
Oh, okay, not a pick.
It's not a single barrel, it'snot a single barrel.
Oh, so it was just the Bottledand Bond.
(08:37):
Okay, yeah, yeah, because Iremember when we picked it up,
yeah and yeah, and I was like itlooks special.
Is that the one that I didn'twant to return?
Mm-hmm, I can never remember ifyou can actually return alcohol
in Illinois or not.
I can't remember if it'sIllinois or Wisconsin that you
can return alcohol.
Probably Wisconsin, yeah, it'smy guess.
(08:59):
It's one of them.
You can't, yeah, and I can'tremember which.
Yeah, wisconsin, I feel likeyou can do a lot more, but you
found this one at a decent price.
I'd say it was a decent price,yeah, but then I found it for
like $10 or $12 less and I waslike, well, I'll just buy this
one.
Yeah, but I was like in the car.
I was home, matt, can you takethis back?
(09:20):
You were taking a bath while Iwas on the phone with you.
Yeah, what's wrong with that?
No, no, it's usually.
I mean, nine times out of ten.
You're in the bathroom.
In the bathroom doing something.
Nine times out of ten that Italk to you and I would say that
70% of that, 90%, you're takinga poop.
60% of the time Matt's on thetoilet, every time, every time
Matt is on the toilet.
(09:40):
Well, take that listener, thereyou go, put that image in your
mind.
Yeah, I would let this one openup a little bit.
Let's see what happens as wemove through the episode.
Maybe it'll tell us something,but right now I don't like
saying the word stale because Ifeel like that's mean.
But I know what you're saying.
The taste is kind of on thatDustiness or a staleness or
(10:04):
something Maybe.
And I mean it did sit in therefor eight years.
That's true, it's, you know,but it's definitely not.
The nose and the palate are not.
They're not meshing well, theyain't brothers, they're not
meshing well.
I don't think we could see whathappens as it opens up.
(10:29):
Maybe it needs more time.
It could just need more time.
Yeah, who knows, you know what?
What?
What was fun?
Let me hear this transition,let me hear how you do it.
You know, what does need moretime is my joke writing.
I tell you like it is hard.
So january of this year I had ashow every friday and every
saturday, which was awesome.
(10:50):
It was intimidating.
But then, like, once you get inthe groove of of doing it, it's
kind of like when you're doinga play, like you do, you know, I
think remember in high schoolwe were doing shows like three,
four, weekend, and so you'rejust, you're on and you do two
weekends and then you do, likeyou know, shows for for the
schools and stuff.
So mid, uh, like thursdays, youdo a show, so you get used to
(11:13):
doing it.
The grade schools, yeah, likein the junior high, yeah, they
would come in and they wouldcome see your show, come see the
high schoolers and yeah,they're.
Well, this was like, yeah,youth theater, so it wasn't,
yeah, part of another school butof another school, but yeah, so
we would do that.
And so this was very similarthis January of this year, where
I was doing a show every Friday, saturday and then, and then it
(11:36):
just kind of stopped.
I just haven't been booked asmuch, which is fine.
I've been busy in other areastoo, but when you have like a
month between doing showsbecause I'm not like just
haven't been booked as much,which which is fine.
I've been busy in other areastoo.
But when you have like a monthbetween doing shows because I'm
not like actively trying to getin the clubs right now when you
have like a month in betweenshows, you're like, okay, am I
do?
I remember this stuff and it'slike, oh, I do, um, but yeah,
(11:57):
it's just interesting.
I had a private, a privatebirthday party, nice, actually
one of our listeners.
That's fun, shout out, that's alot of fun.
Yeah, it was awesome.
It was in like a speakeasy.
Have you seen the lounge?
No, have you heard of Lou'sLounge?
No, oh man, it's really cool.
Yeah, where is it the DoleMansion in Crystal Lake?
(12:19):
Okay, and like, is that over bythe um, by the beach?
Yep, right across the streetthere, yep, like right, my
little, yeah, and the thing thatwas the giant, the thing that
looks like a mansion, is amansion.
That big house right, just witha circle drive in front.
Yeah, that's the dull mansion.
It's not just like a bunch ofhouses connected.
No, it's like one house.
(12:40):
Okay, well, it's not a houseanymore now, it's's whatever, it
is All right.
Yeah, but they have this reallycool, like I did not know it
existed.
I knew I was going to the dole.
Isn't it the purpose of aspeakeasy?
That's true, that's a goodpoint.
And the police came at the endand they told us to get out of
there.
And they had the batons to getout of there.
(13:03):
And they had their batons andthey started beating people with
them.
Um, I don't know, I didn't knowwhere that was going.
It's really good, I do, you do,I do, I do.
It was just going a place thatprobably I know where we're
going gonna get censored.
Yeah, um, by nobody, becauseI'm not gonna censor it.
It's just too much work.
It's a lot of work to editthese shows.
I haven't even edited our yearepisode yet.
Will he ever?
(13:24):
Who knows?
Yes, he will.
It's that unknown episode.
It's the one that we've kepthinting at being there and has
never actually been released.
We'll release it, like with thetwo year episode.
We're like mid-year.
(13:48):
Here's the best of season two.
It's the end of season one.
The best of season two is theend of season one.
It was this speakeasy and I showup and I'm in my jeans and my
flannel and everyone else, whichI think you know what I'm going
to.
I'll wear the flannel next week.
So you know what I'm talkingabout.
(14:09):
For next week's episode, I'llwear the flannel.
Don't wear it next week, fine,go ahead and wear it next week.
So I show up and I knew rightaway.
I pulled up and I see peoplegetting out and I saw the
entrance to the speakeasy and Iwas like, okay, that's cool,
lose lounge.
But like I wasn't sure ifthat's where the party was.
But then I see people dressedin, like I see first of all the
(14:31):
graphics and it looks high end.
And then I see people walkingin with presents and they are
dressed in cocktail attire.
Yeah, and I'm in jeans and aflannel shirt.
Oh my gosh.
And so I go in.
You need to go rent a tux?
Well, I go in and like youdon't even know.
(14:54):
Well, first of all, I didn'tread, obviously, the Invitation,
obviously.
And so why would you do that?
Why would I read it?
Like I just show up.
So why would you do that?
Why would I read it?
Like I just show up and I getthere and I was like, ah crap,
I'm like I'm going to, I'munderdressed, I'm like thank the
Lord, this was like just downthe street, but like if this was
in the city.
I'd have been.
I'd have to go to like H and Moutlet or something.
(15:14):
Do they have one down there?
It's a store, huh, I don't know, hollister and mackerel or
something, I don't know.
No, oh, our feet touched.
Okay, stay on your side, stayon your side, stay in your lane,
stay in your lane anyway.
So I get in there and I'm like,oh well, you know, maybe it'll
(15:35):
be fine, like, maybe it's just acouple people are dressed,
maybe I'll be fine.
I get in.
No, everybody.
The person whose birthday it waswas in a dress and I was like
crap, and everyone's dressed upin suits and ties.
Did you leave?
I was like, and I said happybirthday.
I was like I feel like I'mreally underdressed and she's
like no, no, no, you're fine,you're fine, like.
(15:56):
I feel like I'm underdressed.
I'm like it's your birthday,like.
And then I see the, the um, theguy, her husband, the guy that
hired me, and he's like hey, andhe kind of like looked at me
and I was like he thinks, and Iwas like I think I'm
underdressed and he kind of likedidn't say anything, he goes
well, or something like that.
I was like I'm underdressed,I'm going to go back and change.
And so I drove home and I got,you know dress pants and a nice
(16:20):
dress shirt and came back but,yeah, it was the right call to
do that.
Yeah, but yeah, man, you know,it would have been a better call
to read the invitation.
Yes, well, it's like you, wouldyou?
I thought for a second, well,okay, I'm doing comedy, so maybe
I can get away with it, causeI'm like the comedian.
(16:40):
But then I was like I just no,you should, you're the.
Yeah, like I, you're the show,I'm the show.
You should have been moredressed up than everybody else.
I should have looked like JamesBond.
Honestly, you should have had atuxedo, well.
But here's the thing I don'tknow with this.
Look Like this, look hereshaved head and beard fits
(17:00):
really well with flannel anddoes not look that good with a
suit.
You gotta, you gotta figure itout.
I don't know what to do.
You've got to figure.
Do I get plugs?
No, don't.
You've got to find the rightsuit and everything you have to
find the right suit.
You gotta, we'll work on it.
But I probably need to shave myhead complete, like always.
(17:20):
Have it shaped.
Maybe I feel like a StanleyTucci vibe, but he doesn't have
a beard.
I mean, we'll figure this out,we gotta figure this out.
Yeah, but also, please read theinvitations.
Do you do that, do you like?
When you get invitations, likewhat is your party party,
because I want to tell you aboutwhat happened on the stage.
(17:41):
Here's the thing I want to hearabout.
How do you, when I get aninvitation, yeah, just say no.
I am shocked.
People don't invite me to things.
Why, I don't know.
But you have, we were justtalking earlier off offline, we
were talking about your shoecollection and you have very
fancy things and so sure youshould be getting invites.
Yeah, because they would belike this guy, I'll dress up.
(18:01):
You know, I don't know whypeople invite me to stuff.
I well, I don't dress up.
Clearly, they didn't reallyinvite you.
They hired, that's true, well,but it was a surprise.
It was a surprise, yeah.
So so who hired you?
So I got the husband, but Ithink the wife invited me, oh,
(18:23):
but didn't know.
She didn't know about it.
Oh, well, that's nice.
Did she invite the entirefamily or just you?
No, she invited Madison too,okay, but then we had Easter
Sunday, no, easter Saturday, soshe couldn't go.
Ah, that sucked, yeah, so thenI was there in my flannel.
That would have been part ofthe problem, but that would have
helped solve the problem.
If she was invited and shewould have been like wait a
(18:46):
minute, she would have read theinvitation.
Yeah, you are way underdressed,because I came in I was like
cocktail attire cocktail and Ijust walked to my closet and
changed.
I was like cocktail attire andI left.
That's good, you were going tosay something, because I said,
yeah, people invite you, but yousaid they don't.
I would absolutely check to makesure that I'm wearing something
(19:09):
that's appropriate in whateverway I needed to.
I mean, how many ways do youneed to check?
Is it either you look at thelocation?
Okay, go online and take a lookat what is recommended there.
Yeah, I think it did say Lou'sLounge too.
Look at the type of party it is, who's going to be there,
(19:36):
obviously, where it is, ifthere's a theme.
I think there were a lot ofclues, all of these things.
I think I remember theinvitation looking fancy, like
kind of a Great Gatsby-esque oh,which makes sense because it
was a 1920s speakeasy lounge didnot compute.
So I thought, oh, flannel,obviously right, it's crystal,
like I have a beard.
Yeah, I'll be fine.
(19:57):
Clearly, I can't wear a suit.
It's a speakeasy.
I think think I getuncomfortable.
I get uncomfortable, you know,like Dwight, when he wears a
long sleeve shirt and he getsuncomfortable.
That's how I am, like I getuncomfortable being dressed.
I just want to be like this.
This, this, hand me down fromJared.
Thanks, jared, yep, I try toget as much of his clothes as
possible.
(20:17):
Is that weird?
That's a weird thing to sayOkay, but I like him, he's got
good taste.
But this, eh, you know, thewrists, like I don't, it's a
little Like it's loose enough,but like if any tighter and I
just be like I can't.
Well, luckily his biceps arehuge, right, so you have some.
He's stretched it out.
He's stretched it out.
(20:38):
Well, his wrist muscles Do youhave muscles in your wrists?
Yeah, I think you do.
Yeah, his, yes, just yeah, theyactually left an imprint.
You know, like those musclesuits you can buy, like this
kind of, I don't wash it, I justput it on and it's like stiff.
Yeah, yeah, just all muscle.
It's good.
So you're okay.
(20:59):
Etiquette all right here.
So you're okay, it's important.
Etiquette is huge.
It's huge.
I'm just not into it, I know.
I just I feel like it's like Ijust don't want to.
I know it just takes so muchtime, I know, but I feel like I
look pretty good Eventually.
Yeah, like when I try, I'm like, oh, it makes you feel pretty
(21:22):
good.
Sure, I'm like.
And is this what people walk ina city?
That's what you wear.
Just, walking in a city, youhave to wear that, right?
No, even if you don't have ajob To go in a city, you have to
have a trench coat.
Uh, you probably should, right?
Yeah, I've heard new york cityis that way.
Yeah, you have to have a trench.
Well, the first time I went tonew york city, I wore dress
(21:44):
shoes and I didn't have anyother pair and I there was no
uber and and I walked from my,from like 12th street, all the
way to central park.
It's just way too long, wow.
And then I walked throughcentral park.
Yeah, yeah, had some blisties.
That's, that's, that's, that's,that's wild.
(22:08):
So would you say, would you saythat if you, if you were to pick
an era that you would travel toin time, it has to be in the
past.
Obviously, you can't pick afuture era, right, because we
wouldn't really know what'shappening there.
I would pick the future erabecause it's going to be cool,
maybe.
Have you been there?
(22:28):
No, I don't.
Do you think that there werepeople in the 80s that were like
, I want to travel to 2020?
The 2020s?
Yeah, probably.
Maybe when they got here,that's true, but it wasn't
anything like that.
The future was always the 80sin the future.
For those movies, yeah, it wasalways the future.
(22:51):
But 80s style never changed.
Right, it was neon everywhere.
Right, it's like neoneverywhere, right, right, mc
Hammer music.
Do you have an era that you like?
It kind of sounds like you'dlove to be in the 20s.
Well, that's the thing.
The roaring 20s.
Well, I think.
Why an Australian accent?
Right, well, I would like to bein Australia in the 20s, the
roaring 20s, the rolling 20s,the rolling 20s.
(23:12):
I don't think you would,because of all of the emus.
Oh, that's right, go ahead.
I think I like the speakeasykind of mobster, but that's like
you're talking a wider spanthan just a decade.
So you're talking like 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s.
I don't know if I'd go thatdeep.
I think 50s is the latest.
It's probably.
(23:33):
For me, honestly, it's probably30s and 40s.
Okay, just because I liked thatkind of I don't want to say
lifestyle, because there was alot of not good stuff about it,
obviously, but just the mannersand the suits and the class, I
don't know, I don't know, it'sprobably because I was super
(23:55):
close with my grandparents, yeah, yeah.
So I mean it's definitely acool.
I think it's definitely a coolera.
But, like, do you think peoplein the 20s, if they were asked
that question, do you think theywere like man, I really miss
1776?
Where we were, just you know,like when we had to have a
tourniquet and like, hey, maybeyou'll keep the arm, maybe you
won't, we don't know, probably,don't get a cold, you might die
(24:20):
Probably.
What was their favorite era?
What's yours?
I would pick the 60s.
I'd pick like the Were you bornin the 60s, you're a jerk.
I knew you weren't.
No, I, you weren't.
(24:40):
Um, no, I like before beatles orafter beatles, because it's
very different.
Well, I think, I think it wouldbe the whole, that whole time,
right?
So, like what do you meanbefore beatles or after the
beatles?
Like, I'm just thinking they'reokay.
Maybe I'm like the early 60s,like 62.
Before weed, before weed orafter weed?
Before hippies Is hippies, 70s,yeah, oh Well, late 60s, no, I
(25:02):
feel like 60s, 70s, becausethere's like the classiness of
60s, yeah, would you like me toexplain this or would you like
to continue?
I'm going to tell you.
Please tell me what I wouldlike the most about it.
Go ahead, I would think theearly 60s, early 60s, early to
mid 60s would be a nice, justkind of in that time frame.
(25:23):
I think it's really the reasonis, everyday vehicles like
family sedans were like theChevelle and the Camaro and the
Mustang.
Is that where they got theirname From the car?
Huh, chevelle, the band, yeah,did they get the name from the
(25:44):
car?
Did they own a Chevelle?
Yeah, it's where they got theirname.
Yeah, huh, did they ever haveone?
They're just like, yeah, welike that car, have one.
They're just like, yeah, welike that car.
No, they're.
Um, dad was really big intotheir like old, old muscle cars,
huh, and had a chevelle, huh,at one point.
So you like the 60s, I thinkthe 60s would be a fun time to
(26:08):
be around.
I think for cars, you're right,it is vehicles, yeah, oh yeah,
because that's kind of cool,yeah, to think through, I think,
everything else about the 60s.
First of all, the music wouldbe fantastic.
Would love to see Jimi Hendrixplay.
Yeah, that would have been cool.
Woodstock would have been wild.
Well, we can go to Woodstockanytime.
(26:30):
It's like right down the street, not that Woodstock.
Bonham Ching yeah, interestingFrom a music standpoint.
Buddy Holly Good stuff there.
That's Weezer singing aboutBuddy Holly.
But was Buddy Holly in the 60sor 50s?
(26:52):
I want to say even before that,really, yeah, what do I know?
I love it.
See, I get confused.
So the 60s there's that littleportion at the beginning that's
kind of 50s-esque, right, yeah,always.
But then it changes into thehippie kind of thing.
(27:14):
I'm not a fan of that.
I'm not into the hippie kind ofthing.
I'm not a fan of that.
I'm not a big hippie kind ofthing, but like the classier
kind of Don Draper kind of stuff, like right before that.
That's like to me that's 40s,50s.
Yeah, I think that's where Iwould land.
Yeah, okay, all right, so we'renot far away from each, but I'm
just really old right now.
(27:45):
The question wasn't if you couldlive in the time.
The question was if you couldtravel to it.
Oh, just go and check it outand just be a part of it.
I mean, who wouldn't want to gosee old gengi con, you know
like, let's go back further.
Genghis Khan, genghi, genghi,that's my.
Is that what you call yourgrandma?
Yeah, yes, I call my grandmaGenghi.
Her real name is Genghis Khan.
(28:06):
I call her Genghi as a pet name.
Okay, I mean, maybe that's afuture topic, like the weirdest
names that that like grandmas goby.
Yes, right, because there'slike grandma, granny, nana's
gigi, but like gang.
Gang, I thought was like it'sprobably what he called his
(28:29):
grandma.
It could be.
It was probably why he took thename gang, because oh, look,
little baby gangas, nobody namestheir kid Genghis.
Like Well, somebody did Well,okay, some con Speaking of Did
