Yeah, rich and smooth, ready toserve.
Original southern eggnog Fromthe old Evan Williams distillery
in Bardstown, kentucky Okay, aSouthern holiday tradition, made
(02:33):
even better with Evan Williamsbourbon.
Ooh, love it.
Shake well, did you shake itwell?
Yeah, refrigerate it afteropening.
I did that as well.
You did refrigerate it afteryou opened it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah,yeah, very good, this is a
bottle kill.
Yeah, we crushed this one.
I had like three of these theother day, or maybe three
(02:54):
bottles.
One bottle, oh, I, these twoglasses were what finished off
the bottle.
Yeah, so you had three of thesetwo glasses.
That doesn't make any sense.
Oh, it's so good, it is so good, it's very tasty.
It's very, very tasty.
Um, obviously you can.
(03:14):
You could add your own egg oryour own, uh, bourbon or whiskey
, whatever you wanted to, to aneggnog and, you know, do
something similar.
But I mean, why not just buythe bottle for why not 15 bucks?
Just buy the bottle and awayyou go.
It's Evan Williams eggnog.
It's so good, it's good.
Right, I can't Do you have yourphone on you, no, but what we
(03:38):
can see here is that we are liveand Amy is the only person.
Hi Amy it and Amy is the onlyperson that Hi Amy is commenting
.
It's great to see you.
Oh, that's good For those ofyou listening.
We are live on Instagram today.
We are live on Instagram Forthis show just because we
thought, eh what the heck, whynot Right?
Why not Merry Christmas?
(03:58):
Merry Christmas, listeners.
Why not go live?
You know, watchers, how manydays for the live, how many days
before christmas are we 15?
It's okay, but but for thelisteners, this is coming out
just a couple days beforechristmas.
Before christmas, yeah, becausewhat is it?
(04:18):
Let's see, it's a couple daysbefore christmas, a couple days
before christmas.
I don't want.
It's the day before christmaseve, oh, okay, so that's a
couple days before christmas,yeah.
So what I wanted to talk abouttoday?
Oh, did you bring presents?
I did.
I brought some gift boxes, somegift, some gift boxes.
So what's a really, what'sreally cool about this time of
the year is bourbon companies,whiskey companies, release these
(04:41):
gift packages, these gift boxes, and if you're watching on
Instagram Live, you'll see theseand you can head out to your
local establishment and findthese things.
But what's really neat is theseplaces.
Obviously they sell theirbourbon all year round, but
what's kind of fun is they willpackage for the same price, or
maybe a dollar more, or not verymuch more, if at all.
(05:04):
They'll package it withsomething sort of special.
So for me, you know what's weird?
We've never done Maker's Mark,we haven't Mm-mm.
And there's a recipe on theback, mm-hmm, rosemary maple
sour.
What?
Yeah, oh my gosh.
It says spread some cheers.
So you have to spread cheers.
If you buy that box, you haveto spread cheers.
(05:24):
Now, that's true, okay, okay,and I'll read out what's on the
back of this.
We'll kind of do a little review.
If Amy makes sure he'sspreading cheers, okay, please,
we'll open this up and we'llkind of go through.
You don't have to say, youdon't have to narrate what
you're gonna do, just do it.
Well, just do just.
(05:45):
But then we have another onethat we're gonna do.
Okay, just relax, we're gonnaopen this one up.
Can you let the?
Can you let the process justhappen?
Okay, so in this one we get afull bottle, 750 milliliters.
This is, this is yeah, this ismaker's mark.
I don't think we've done anymaker's mark stuff I would have.
I would have remembered the wax.
Yeah, this is kind of a.
(06:07):
So Maker's Mark is a Whiskey.
It's a whiskey, but it's aweeded bourbon.
Weeted.
It ends up being a little bitmore weeded.
So I think we could probablycrack this open and try it.
But what does it come with?
Are we going to do that For $23.
Do you want to?
Yeah, look, we've got theglasses.
Okay, it's christmas.
I don't know what did you plan?
(06:28):
We could do that.
The other one too.
Yeah, we sure could.
We're not even gonna know howto turn the camera off at the
end of this completely.
So really cool glass that, likerocks glasses, these come in and
they've got the.
They've got the s4 maker's marklabel on there or logo on there
.
I love it.
(06:49):
So, yeah, very cool.
And this one comes with twoglasses one for you and one for
a friend.
Oh, or, at least you could onefor you, yeah, one or one for
yourself and another one foryourself Clean, clean.
Well, the whiskey going inthere is going to make it clean,
(07:12):
I think too.
Oh, yeah, for sure, you knowthe alcohol kills, so it's kind
of fun that they do these.
Now.
A couple years ago, maybe myfavorite find was Bullet.
Bullet did a.
No, I named my dog Bullet afterthe whiskey.
Really, yeah, that's so funny.
I feel like you we're justgoing to throw this.
(07:33):
Hey-oh, the crew will take careof it.
Yeah, get on that guys.
Guys, come on, you're slacking,I mean you're fired, you're all
fired, thank you, and you'rerehired, okay, I mean, you're
fired, you're all fired, thankyou, and you're rehired, okay,
because we need you.
So Bullet did this one.
They did 350, 350s, so it was afull 750 of whiskey.
But they did a rye oh, that's agood idea and a bourbon, and
(07:56):
with it came a highball, yeti.
Oh yeah, wow, a Yeti, that wasa highball.
Oh yeah, wow, the a yeti, thatwas a high ball.
And so you're, you're talking,those things are 25 bucks, so to
buy, to be able to buy two halfbottles of whiskey, if you will
.
So a bottle of whiskey, right,for 35 dollars and get a yeti.
(08:18):
It was well worth it.
Well, same thing with this.
Like you know how muchglassware is, I mean at
creighton barrel, this would belike a thousand dollars.
Yeah, this, this single glass,right, $1,000?
Yes, wait, crate Barrel.
Did you hear what I said?
Crate Barrel?
Do people even shop at CrateBarrel anymore?
Yeah, they have whole stores.

.
You're a common whiskey.
I'm sorry, you know what?
That was insensitive, it's okay.
(09:47):
It's's okay, it's fine, it'sfine.

This is 90.
Okay, yeah, it's a 90, thatthat nose is like a 90.
I mean it does not kill you onthe nose.
Yeah, it's actually kind ofnice because it's kind of just
enough.
I can can literally feel itlike kind of cleaning my, like
cleansing my.
I had a little bit of a stuffednose.
(10:28):
Yeah, not anymore.
I mean it's kind of likegetting up there.
Yeah, it's like just enough.
Yeah, so it's got a little bitof a.
It's healthy, it's a cold remedy.
It's healthy for you.
It is healthy.
Yeah, it's grains.
There's corn in there, there'swheat, wheat and like there's
there's wheat, corn and wheatcorn.
There's barley, there's liquid,which means there's probably
(10:49):
water in there.
It's like all of your sevengrains, yeah, all the grains.
You can pour milk in it.
Eggnog, you pour this in theegg.
You could pour milk in it.
What if we poured the dad jokeloading.
No, no, let's taste it.
Okay, ready, yep, as he smellsit.
(11:17):
Sorry, I just looked at yourgullet.
Did you did my gullet?
I saw the gullet.
Is that what it's called thegusset?
Oh, sorry, are you checking my?
My gullet is up here, I think I.
I'm like why are you sorry?
I just smacked my mic, yourgusset, my.
Look at it in my jeans.
Yeah, I saw it.
I was like, wow, that's a biggusset.
(11:37):
Yeah, well.
And then I thought I need toget pants with a gusset.
You really do, but I don't havepants with a gusset.
Well, but you clearly havepants with the gusset.
Yeah, I call it a gullet,though get at your gullet.
Amy left, I'm pretty sure she's.
I would leave after that likenever.
What are these guys?
This is not even watching.
(11:57):
Did you tag me?
No, I don't know how.
It's fine.
What do you think, though?
It's actually really good.
So what I was getting to was Igot like I don't know why in my
head I got gobstopper.
Yeah, I don't know why either.
Well, there's a real candysweetness on the very first hit.
(12:26):
Yeah, I can, I could see thatit's just, it's kind of there,
it's not I wouldn't say it's assubtle, as subtle, but it's like
, and then it kind of goes away.
But yeah, yeah, there's I don'tknow, there's some sort of just
like a candied something, sureCandied sweetness to it and I
(12:47):
think, and maybe it's a specificflavor, like orange maybe.
Um, that I'm getting a littlecitrusy, yeah, citrus, maybe
that's why because gobstopperstend to be citrusy, they're
definitely a hard candy, they're, they're definitely stop the
gob, you know, I mean they'llstop that gob.
What do you think?
What are you getting Besides aBuzz Lightyear, my favorite
(13:11):
character in Toy Story?
That's how you get aroundalgorithms.
Well, my Christmas spirit isbourbon.
Your Christmas spirit isbourbon.
No, you know what?
I'm actually pleasantlysurprised.
This is definitely better than Ithought it would be.
Yeah, I had zero expectation, Ididn't even.
(13:31):
Yeah, I mean, there's nothingspecial about this bottle.
It smells good.
There's nothing.
I mean this is Maker's MarkKentucky Straight Bourbon,
handmade since 1953.
So they're not that old, butthey're old to us.
But they're not.
I mean, this is that old butthey're old, old to us.
But like they're not like oneof the originals, right, but you
(13:51):
know, this is a, this is a.
Really, it's really good, youknow it's.
It's, it's kind of a reallyreally common whiskey.
So yeah, um, you know, I Idon't know that I would
necessarily say that it's adaily type like sipper, like I
wouldn't, I wouldn't go to thisone and be like, hey guys, have
you tried this?
This is really special, but whyis it?
It's not to me, because itdoesn't, it doesn't have as much
(14:15):
complexity, correct, yeah, it's, it's kind of a, it's kind of a
run of the mill.
It has a thing, it has a thing.
I would say, though, to me,though, it has a thing, it has a
thing that's a little differentthan some of the other.
You know what I mean.
Like in a way, that's like okay, it has a little more than a
thing.
Yeah, it's got a thing, butit's got a little more than a
(14:37):
thing.
It's got like a it's.
You know it's.
It's got something special.
It's sweet, it's sweet.
You know, I think there'sprobably five or six bourbons
that I would go to before I wentto this one, but at the same
time, I would love to have thison the shelf for somebody who
would come in and be like I'dlove to.
(14:59):
You got makers, yeah, perfect,yeah, you know what.
Or hey, you know what.

Do you know what else we shoulddo?
Please don't say what I thinkyou're going to say.
I do not want to dress up.
Yes, we're doing it.
It's as if we've read eachother's minds.

No, I think she should factcheck herself.
(17:32):
Fact check yourself, amy.
She probably already did.
Oh, okay, yeah, it's true,bummer, that sucks, which is
ironic because the gobstopperyou have to suck on it.

You'll be irresistible.
People will be like I feel likeI want to have you in my coffee

sometimes I do.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let me show you what I brought.
Okay, I didn't bring this, youdid.
What am I holding?
More wheat, smoother sips,paper plane, kentucky meal.
Okay, so this is larceny.
Look at this, look at that.
We're going to open this up andshow this is I'm actually
(18:59):
really, I'm really pumped aboutthis.
Uh-oh, somebody's on.
Who is it?
Who is it?
I can't see.
I'm so blind.
We should have moved thatcloser, yeah, but then we
wouldn't be able to seeourselves.
I'll open this.
I'm going to go look.
Okay, okay, so this is Larceny.
What's up?
(19:19):
Allie, it's Allie, hi Allie,yes, hi Allie.
She has come.
All right, this is it.
This is what you've beenwaiting for.
All right, so I am live.
This comes from Larceny.
Yeah, it does this from larcenythat.
Yeah, this comes from larceny,okay, again.
So the the maker's mark.
I think that was like 22 bucks,23 bucks, the whole thing, with
(19:41):
the whole thing.
Yeah, special, now normally thebottle.
I mean, you know you're lookingat 20 glass, 20, 20 or so
dollars, 20, 23 dollars,something like that.
So you're, you're in a prettydecent deal to grab the
glassware.
It's not $1,000 worth of glass,but it's good, okay, it's good,
okay.
So that was a lot of time.
Oh, you know what we didn't dobefore we opened this?
(20:03):
We didn't read the recipe onthe back of the Maker's Mark one
, we'll do that at the end.
Yeah, whatever.
Okay, it is a weeded bourbon.
We haven't done any larceny.
This is a favorite of a lot offriends that I have as well.
So this comes as a Clayton andKroom leather wrapped.
(20:24):
Leather wrapped that's the wayI like them Rocks glass.
Now, look at this thing, lookat this thing.
I have one of these.
That is nice.
It is really nice.
I'll show it to this camera.
That's like.
That is nice.
It is really nice.
I'll show it to this camera.
That's like Show it to thiscamera.
Look at Allie, look at that.
Look at that.
Can you see it?
It's like a cuff.
It's like a fisty cuff.
It's a rocks glass and you canpull the leather off to wash it.
(20:47):
Don't ever wash the leather off.
No, you gotta wash it.
The glass, yeah, but you putthat on there when in Rome, when
in Rome, just saying statements.
So the reason that this oneattracted me was is I have an
Eagle Rare glass wrapped inleather, just like this.

Yeah for sure you're not justsmelling.
Let your.
The leather has permeated the.
The glass, yeah, well, as to beexpected, it is a rocks glass.
So you know, it would be nice.
I think that would probablyinsulate the rocks a little bit
and keep it from getting toocold, but what?
(24:14):
But what do you think on thetaste?
It's got a little bit of a hit,a little bit of a punch.
It's like you had a plan butyou got punched in the face,
right?
Oh, you should use that a lotfor the next episode.
(24:34):
Are we back to Mike Tyson?
Are we going to Mike Tyson forthe first time?
No, you, we did say it earlierin this episode.
We should talk about Mike Tysonin the next one, though I will
make sure you do remember that.
Use your memory powers andremember that.
I mean, I think that's going tobe like if I, I think that's
going to be a theme.
(24:55):
I think there's going to be atheme.
I think there's going to be atheme.
This is good, it's very good,this is a lot.
Okay, side by side, I preferthe Larson, oh well.
Yes, this is more sophisticatedthan the makers.
But you can't say sophisticateduntil you're wearing a suit.
(25:15):
Okay, fine, I will not.
The next time I saysophisticated will be when I'm
wearing a suit.
But this is, this is different,in a way that is a little more
high end.
Yeah, like this is one where Idon't know, I mean, I could put
it in a mixed drink, but it'd belike the top tier mixed I you
know.
Yeah, like I would sip this.
(25:36):
Yeah, but if I ran out of stuffto me and I'm like I really
need a old-fashioned or amanhattan, I would, I would, I
would use it, but but this wouldbe a sipper.
Yeah, this is really, this isreally tasty.
Um, I'm, I'm really a big fan.
I I've tried larceny before.
I don't know if I've ever hadthem.
I have.
I've tried this before on somerecommendations from some
(25:57):
friends.
Wow, we're so fancy, but um, no, it's sophisticated, but yeah,
I can't say it.
Okay, uh, I've tried this on ona um, on a recommendation from
a friend.
I wasn't a big fan the firsttime of the friend.
I wasn't a big fan of thewhiskey.
Oh, okay, um, but because itwas so bad, I then became not a
(26:18):
fan of the friend right, you'relike, dude, this is what you're
recommending.
No, I'm kidding, this was a,this was a, this, this and uh, I
was wrong the first time I waswrong.
My pal has changed, for sureI've had.
Your pal has changed my palate.
Palate has changed my and mypals and your pals like, well,
I'm here and he's not.
I'm just kidding.
(26:38):
No, I'm here and he's not.
I'm just kidding.
No, I'm still friends with him.
He's still a good guy.
No, he's an awesome guy.
And there's multiple people whoare like, really, I feel like
he's a bad person.
No, no, no, but I really I'menjoying this.
And it's not just the Maker'sMark and the eggnog speaking,
it's the cameras and the lightsand the crew.
(26:59):
Get back to work.
I mean, look, how are wesupposed to do this show if our
crew, you left this.
What did I do?
Well, I'm sorry, it's not me,it's the crew.
That's what I'm talking to you.
Here's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to go switch camerasbecause I feel like we have a
lot more to talk about.
I'm going to go switch thecameras.
We're going to keep rolling,but I've got to do the crew's
(27:20):
job Because they're not doing it, and I'll check on the comments
, because there's comments onthe live.
So hold on here.
No, keep going.
You want me to talk through thecamera?
Yeah, it's fine, who cares?
Nobody cares.
We're going back to the Maker'sMark.
So this one.
So this sounds reallyinteresting.
The Maker's Mark Rosemary MapleSour.
(27:41):
So have you had a whiskey sourbefore?
Yes, okay, so this is one and ahalf parts Maker's Mark, three
quarter part fresh lemon juice,one half part maple syrup.
Do you have any of this stuff?
We can make this drink.
I definitely wait.
What is it?
Lemon juice, maple syrup?
Yep, a sprig of fresh rosemary,oh, yeah, in the garden.
(28:03):
Okay, and do you have anotherfresh rosemary sprig and a lemon
slice for a garnish?
I don't know if I have a lemonslice, but we could go to the
store.
Okay, I think, for I do notknow the time this, this, I mean
a rosemary maple, like I'mtrying to think of the, the
flavors there.
(28:23):
That's really interesting.
Rosemary and maple is notsomething you typically see
together.
Yeah, the rosemary veryfragrant, amy says.
Amy commented on the live, sowe're live streaming this for
those of you just listening.
Yeah, just if you've listenedso far and you haven't paid
(28:45):
attention to 39 to 29 minutes ofthis, like if you've just
joined us, we're live, we'relive streaming.
This am Amy says, not if you'relive, but hey, podcast listener
, if you're just joining us 29minutes in, we are live
streaming.
How would they even do that?
They'd have to be like theywon't.
That's why I'm making fun ofyou.
(29:05):
That would be like skipping tothe end of the episode.
They're like, let's get thisover with.
What's next week?
All I want to hear is someonesay next time, whiskey bits.
Remember your odds, I'm evencorrect.
So the odd episodes, that's you, amy said, tell us you have,
tell us you have add.
Without telling us you have add.
(29:26):
I'm offended, but it's alsotrue.
I don't have add.
I got tested.
I don't have.
I probably have something.
Okay, maybe a goiter.
You ready, you ready for yourgoiter?
I think you've got a nevis.
I did have a nevis and thenevis is gone.
Okay, here's how you prepare theBaker's Mark Rosemary Maple
(29:46):
Syrup.
Smack one sprig of rosemarybetween the palm of your hand Is
that what it says?
And activate its aroma.
Place in a shaker.
We're Mr Miyagi in this, mother.
That's how you do.
That's how you smell whiskey.
That is how you smell whiskey.
I did that the other day.
I spilled a little on my handand I was like, alright, isn't
it great, I'm gonna rub it in.
(30:07):
It actually was really good.
It's really cool, isn't it?
I can't stop sniffing myfingers.
Add remaining ingredients andshake with ice.
So the remaining ingredientswould be maker's mark bourbon,
fresh lemon juice and maplesyrup.
Strain into an ice flake filledglass.
Okay, garnish with lemon sliceand a fresh rosemary.
It's a recipe.
(30:28):
It's going to tell you what todo, okay, okay, merry christmas.
That sounds fantastic.
It does sound good.
Well, rosemary, they're like.
We wanted to taste like achristmas tree.
Okay, I get it.
That makes sense.
Thanks a lot.
But like the maple, the maplesyrup is gonna taste like a
christmas tree as well.
That's true.
The sap of a christmas tree islike.
They're like oh, it's like achristmas tree drink.
(30:50):
I instantly want to try this.
We're gonna have to make it,mark.
If your name was, that wouldhave been really good.
I'd be like we're going to haveto make her Mark.
Do you think that's how theygot the name?
The guy was Mark and they'relike hey, mark, we're going to
have to make her.
I think that it's.
The maker wanted to put a markon it and did that.
That makes more sense, and sonow it's Okay.
(31:12):
So here is Now Larceny.
We decided that this was thebetter of the two whiskeys,
agreed, mm-hmm.
Or is it just different thatI'm a little concerned about the
bear.
I feel like, okay, listen, add,are we sure that?
Yeah, the Larceny tastes better, but the bear has the bottle
(31:34):
top Stuffed up, kind of like ina Right and it's like in a hard
spot.
All right, so the Larcenybourbon actually offers two
recipes.
So not only did it taste betterthan the Maker's Mark, it gave
us more value, that's true.
And I have copper mugs.
You know what?
We'll just try them all.
Okay, so we have copper mugs.
(31:54):
You would have had to see thesecond recipe that I'm going to
read for your foreshadowing.
No, I did see it before, okay,so the first one I'm going to
read to you.
I'll start with the KentuckyMule.
It's a Scottish Mule.
Is that what it is?
It's a Kentucky Mule, okay.
Okay, it's two ounces of Larcenybourbon.
Hey, we have that.
Three ounces of ginger beer, Idon't have that.
(32:17):
One half ounce lime juice andone half ounce of simple syrup.
So it's a Moscow mule, but it'sa Kentucky mule because you put
whiskey in it, okay, instead ofvodka.
That's not as creative.
So you do all that stuff andthen you drink it.
Do all the things, you just putit all together and stir it up
and then you drink it.
Yeah, so it's a drink you drink.
It's a drink you drink, okay,all right.
(32:38):
Okay, I mean, this one's alittle bit more, I'll go with it
.
This one sounds a little bitmore interesting.
Less To me, okay, I think whenyou talk about a Christmas gift
box, maker's Mark gave us a veryaromatic.
Okay, it's so aromatic.
Here's the other one Of all thearomatics, it's the most
(33:01):
aromatic.
I would agree with that.
Okay, that's Jewish Trump.
I would agree with that.
Who is that?
Maybe Barack Obama?
I would agree with that.
Let me be clear.
If you were going to tell methat, I would agree with that,
yeah, be clear.
If you were going to tell methat, I'd say I would agree with
that.
Yeah, all right, now I get down.
(33:22):
Okay, reset, okay, paper plane.
Three quarters of an ounce ofLarceny bourbon.
We have that.
We have that.
Okay, I guarantee you don'thave this, try me.
Which is three quarters of anounce of sweet orange aperitivo,
aperitivo?
Yeah, I do.
(33:42):
Actually, do you really?
I don't have orange aperitivo,I have regular aperitivo.
Shut up, I think so.
Or is it Aperol?
There's Aperol and Apertivo.
It's Apertivo.
Yeah, okay, I have one of those.
What do you have the other one,aperol, amaro?
No, aperol, aperol.
Yeah, that's different.
Three quarters of an ounce ofAmaro what the fuck is that?
(34:05):
And then three quarters of anounce of fresh lemon juice.
Combine all the ingredients inthe shaker, add ice and shake
until chilled.
Strain the cocktail into acoupe glass or a cocktail glass.
Cocktails Garnish with a lemonpeel or a paper plane, An actual
paper plane, that is just.
That's called the paper plane.
(34:26):
They could have called itanything.
At that point they were like ah, what do we call it?
I don't know.
All right, I give, I givethat's.
If we were to rate these by fivestars I don't even know why,
why I would do that, but I wouldsay that I would say that the
large so random.
I think we'll talk about thatlater, because I want to get to
(34:48):
the bottom of the stars comment.
Let's talk about stars later.
But the Larceny bourbon.
I would say better bourbon,worse options.
When it came to the recipes,like, did you phone it in?
A Kentucky mule is a verycommon thing.
A paper plane this is a commonthing.
(35:09):
My kids make it all the time.
It's a lot of stuff.
I saw a paper plane on thefloor the other day at a bottle
stand.
But if we're talking unique NewYork, we're looking at spreading
some cheer.
We're going to do the Maker'sMark Rosemary Maple Sour.
We're going to do that, yeah.
So let me get this straight.
We have to take a picture of aManhattan, which means we're
(35:29):
going to pour a drink and makeit for our future episode,
because we take pictures wayahead of time.
And then we're also going to doI'm sorry, I'm just gathering
all my whiskey yes, hold on, letme just.
Okay.
Then we're also Cheers, cheers.
(35:50):
Yeah, there we go.
Also going to do the what isthat called?
Schleppe, leppe, ding dong.
We're going to do the rosemary,that one Rosemary maple, the
rosemary maple sour.
(36:12):
Yeah, don't just you just keeprepeating what I'm saying.
If I keep repeating what you'resaying, should I just keep
repeating what you're saying?
Yeah, you should.
I'm really upset.
I don't have the Santa hat.
That was the one piece of thispuzzle.
That is some skill, man handlingan eggnog whilst drinking a
(36:35):
whiskey.
I gotta tell you, like just sipby sip, back to back, sips,
right, isn't it not good?
It's not good, it's not as good.
Well, you mean, that's not asgood.
Hold on.
Not as close, not even close.
Sorry, shouldn't have inhaledToo deep of an inhale.
(37:04):
Yeah, it's, the larceny has alittle more depth.
I would say, yeah, I'm a bigfan of the larceny.
And look, I think if we weregoing to say our whiskey bits
stamp, stamp of approval, itdefinitely goes with that
larceny.
We can do that.
Are you ready for this?
Yes, it's your bottle, right.
Yeah, okay, hold on, are youready?
I'm ready.
But first you haven't left thismany times in an episode that I
(37:29):
can remember we have episodethat I can remember we have Amy
says Adderall.
Amy has suggested I takeAdderall.
We have our Whiskey Bits stampsof approval here, an actual
(37:50):
sticker.
Would you like to put it on thebottle?
Well, I didn't know.
Know, would you see how goodthe, how easy these come off?
I would say if you wanted toput this on the back right here,
uh-huh, there's a nice piece ofglass right there.
Oh, look at that piece wherethat would fit.
Yeah, really, really well.
You could also do the side ifyou wanted.
Oh, you could do the side.
But I would say, right here onthe back, this is like a we're
(38:13):
going to put the stamp ofapproval.
It's like a tramp stamp ofapproval.
You say tramp stamp, live onInstagram.
Well, I just did so.
Sue me, don't, actually,because I couldn't afford the
lawyer.
It's going to look so good,dude, and I didn't even think
about it.
But look at the way the colorslook.
That's really cool.
(38:34):
That is actually really nice.
That's really neat.
Can you show that to ourInstagram followers?
Yeah, so it actually goesreally well.
The colors go well with thatLarceny brand.
I think we should talk toLarceny about it.
We should tell them Anyway,check this out, right there, ski
(38:58):
beds stamp over.
Now it's backwards, backwardson here.
I'm glad amy's watching.
What else is she got?
I'm glad she's watching.
Okay, I, this looks really cool, I think.
I think when next year, if wewere to make any plans, I think
next year we should try to makeit down to Larceny.
(39:19):
We should bring this.
We should show them how well itfits, yes, and that it received
the WhiskeyBits stamp ofapproval.
Congratulations, you've won anaward.
You've won a major award.
It's a major award.
Ham Hal, you said you want it.
Yeah, mind power, smee, mindpower.
It's a major award.
(39:40):
Christmas story it could beanything, right Major.
Look at how major this is.
You know what?
It could be a bowling alley.
There could be anything inthere.
How are they going to pack abowling alley in there?
There could there could be.
(40:01):
There could be anything.
How are they gonna pack abowling alley in there?
That could be a deed to abowling alley.
The deed great, great movie.
I don't expect him to bring thewhole great, uh, great great
whiskey.
I really enjoyed.
I really enjoyed that one.
I'm really glad we tried thethe maker's mark I.
This really kind of falls into alike I'm sorry, guys, this does
not get our stamp of approval.
I know they have a lot of othervarietals that are out there
that are available.
There's some, there's somecellar age stuff that I know is
(40:22):
really good.
I think their their standardrun of the mill stuff is tasty
but really kind of falls intoour mixer.
It's a mixer on your shellmixer.
I wouldn't.
I would not put this one.
I would not say that youabsolutely have to have this one
.
I think if you're looking forsomething that you have to have,
that's 23 available all thetime and right now, throw this
(40:43):
larceny because it's in the giftpack.
And right now on the gift packyou would get this beautiful
leather wrapped glass.
It's nice.
Um, it does add a little bit offung's way, oh, smell and taste
to leather.
The drink is very leathery.
I think it's a nice littleinsulated piece and, and
certainly it is a nice lookingglass.
(41:06):
It's sitting out by the fire.
It gives you something to holdon to.
Um, I, I mean, I love it.
Um, I love the, I love it.
I just, I, just, I love thisclass.
Do you love?
I love?
What can I say?
I love this class, I love thisclass.
Michael's god, oh, my goodness.
(41:26):
Um, you know, it is interestingmixing the elements of leather,
and is that an element?
Leather's not an element?
I'm gonna say leather should bean element.
Let's move it up.
Is the element table?
I think we move it up toelement status, because what is
it?
What is the height?
Is it on the periodic table?
It should be le.
I think leather.
(41:46):
Okay, yeah, I think le alreadyhas.
I think that's lead?
Actually no, lead is PB,because that makes sense.
Can we talk about the periodictable?
I mean really?
I mean, who is nicknaming theelements?
(42:07):
Who is naming these?
Who is abbreviating lead,l-e-a-d as P-B?
It don't make no sense.
But what does make sense issipping the eggnog through a
(42:28):
cinnamon stick straw.
Do it, you won't do it.
There's a lot of people outhere saying that you won't do it
.
There's a lot of people andsaying that you won't do it.
There's a lot of people and bya lot I mean of all the people,
of all the Amy's watching thelive.
I like this.
They go.
It's very good eggnog.
It's very good eggnog.
(42:48):
That was the most obnoxious.
That was the most obnoxious andyou've smacked your lips so
many times.
That was probably the mostobnoxious sound that we've ever
had on this podcast.
I'm going to increase the dBsin that section.
That did not work.
No, I didn't think it would.
You would think it would work,but it does not.
(43:11):
I realize that it is a completewaste of a cinnamon stick, but
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure that I will drinkanother eggnog without a
cinnamon stick sticking out ofit.
Here's the thing the smell, thearoma, just the aroma alone.
Yeah, when's the last time youused a cinnamon stick for
anything?
Ever, nobody uses them.
I had to open your obnoxiouslylarge jar of cinnamon sticks.
(43:36):
Do you need two?
You have 70.
I know you guys bought acinnamon stick.
I will have those for mygrandkids when their kids are
alive.
That'll be a hand-me-down forthe grandkids.
What are you going to do withthis when we're done?
You're going to throw it away,right?
I think I might frame it.
I don't know what are you goingto do with this when we're done
?
You're going to throw it away,right?
I think I might frame it.
I don't know, what do you dowith the cinnamon stick?
(43:59):
You frame it.
No, that's not what you do withcinnamon sticks.
It does this weird thing whereit unfolds and you're like oh,
that's not how you're supposedto be, you got to be rolled up.
Really, it unfolds, yeah.
When it gets wet, yeah, well,yeah, okay, it releases itself
(44:19):
really from its burden.
I have rolled up like a doobie.
I have not.
I do not have any experiencewith cinnamon sticks, it's just.
This is the first time I'veever even touched one.
They are intimidating.
Let me, there's one thing Iknow about cinnamon sticks is
they're extremely intimidating.
They will to look at and tomanhandle.
And you do not want tomanhandle no, you don't.
(44:41):
You don't want to be in theback side of a cinnamon stick.
I'll tell you that that is, uh,that's a dangerous place to be.
Let me tell you, I've gotstories I could tell you.
I won't because I don'tremember them, but they're there
.
Yeah, the stories exist.
I I don't know what they are,but they're there, they're there
(45:02):
.
Do not sip out of that.
I try, I could.
I can't, it doesn't work.
The is that the best, uh, glassof eggnog you've ever had?
It actually really is.
It's pretty good, isn't it?
I think it's the eggnog, it'sthe whipped cream, it's the
cinnamon and the cinnamon stick.
(45:23):
The stick is the best.
You know it's a multi-senseexperience, multal, that's not a
word Multi-sense experience.
You get the smell of thecinnamon stick, the taste of all
the Polysensual yeah, kind oflike that Polysensual, multiple
(45:49):
scents, all the scents,polyscent, maybe even Scent, and
then also sensual, because it'skind of oh, no, no, just
sensual, but it's kind ofsensual.
No, no, sensual.
No, I know it's sent-tual, butlike it's also sensual.
No, no, just sensual.
I think I want to snuggle upwith this cinnamon stick, phil.
(46:10):
Sensual Scent.
I'll go up with the cinnamonstick, sensual Sent.
There's a T at the end of it,there In the middle.
Sensual Sent, you chew.
Sensual.
Sensual yeah.
Sensual yeah.
Hello, viewer, is there morethan one?
Well, we might be up to three.
(46:34):
We have crossed over into the47-minute mark.
We have tried larceny, we havetried maker's mark, we have an
eggnog and it is Christmas.
Merry Christmas, merryChristmas, phil.
I would be remissed if I didn't.
I know we want to be funny,don't not be funny, but it is
(46:57):
Christmas, it is Jesus' birthday.
Yeah, and that is the reasonfor the season.
Mm-hmm, okay, that's all Iwanted to say.
No, no, this is really good.
We have to say it, we do, andwe said it and we did, and there
it is.
We have to say it, we do and wesaid it and we did, and there
it is.
We did Jesus.
It's a festive time, butremember, that's what it's about
(47:20):
.
Yeah, it's not about eggnog,it's not about whiskey, it's
about the birth of Jesus.
Yeah, and that is the best giftwe could have.
Oh man Now, oh man Now.
So good If, instead of wine, itwould have been whiskey, that
would have been nice, like whenhe turned water into whiskey.
If he would have turned waterinto whiskey, I would have
(47:41):
enjoyed that.
I would have appreciated thatas a thing.
Just a note, I would haveenjoyed the wine too.
Well, I'm sure it was good.
That had to be some good wine.
I mean, the Bible says it wasthe best Of all the wines.
It was good wine.
Who is that?
(48:02):
I don't know.
I don't even know what I'mdoing.
Even a person.
You sounded like you had braindamage and then tried to speak
for the first time.
It was good.
It was good wine.
Wine, it was the best wine.
I.
(48:23):
Now you sound like somebodywith like a speech impediment.
Wine, I'm all the wine.
You sound like somebody who'shad too much wine.
Fine, phil, merry Christmas.
(48:49):
Thank you for buying both ofthese for me.
I really appreciate that you'releaving them here.
I mean I can't believe that.
I can't believe it either.
That is incredible.
It's a miracle.
It's a Christmas miracle.
And the 300 bucks?
I mean that is amazing.
And you just dropped it.
(49:10):
What about the shopping spree?
We're going to go on.
Oh, that too.
I forgot about the shoppingspree.
We're going to go on.
Oh, that too.
I forgot about the shoppingspree.
We have to go on the shoppingspree, oh, my goodness.
Yeah, thank you.
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas, it's going to be the next year
and we've got to figure outwhat we're going to do for our
New Year's episode.
I can't wait to plan this one.
We should do a lot of planningahead of time.
(49:31):
Okay, let's really do something.
Well, first of all I meanspoiler alert we're going to do
Manhattans.
We already said that.
Okay, I'm going to be in a bowtie.
Okay, you're going to be in agray suit.
It's hard to get me in a suit.
I think that we are going tofocus mostly on quotes from Mike
Tyson.
I love that idea.
(49:52):
I think that's the perfectentrance into the new year is
focusing on Mike Tyson quotes.
It makes the most sense, doesit?
Well, you know he's a guy andhe said things.
It's either that or we.
I mean we could sing a song todeath.
Let's do it.
(50:12):
Okay.
Pick a song.
Alright, I'll pick a song todeath.
Let's do it.
Okay.
Pick a song.
All right, I'll pick a song.

Okay, I don't know if I've hadit like that.
Good, no, yeah, oh, we can'teven see my face.
That's okay, nobody cares,nobody's watching.
(01:50):
Anyway, I could turn it to theside.
I can see your face.
That's your face.
I'll go like this, alright.
So this is Evan Williams eggnog,made with Kentucky straight
bourbon, whiskey, blendedwhiskey, rum and brandy.
I like it.
This is only 30 proof, but it'sready to serve.
(02:11):
Chill and enjoy.
Well, because it's got the nog.
Yeah, rich and smooth, ready toserve.
Original southern eggnog Fromthe old Evan Williams distillery
in Bardstown, kentucky Okay, aSouthern holiday tradition, made
(02:33):
even better with Evan Williamsbourbon.
Ooh, love it.
Shake well, did you shake itwell?
Yeah, refrigerate it afteropening.
I did that as well.
You did refrigerate it afteryou opened it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah,yeah, very good, this is a
bottle kill.
Yeah, we crushed this one.
I had like three of these theother day, or maybe three
(02:54):
bottles.
One bottle, oh, I, these twoglasses were what finished off
the bottle.
Yeah, so you had three of thesetwo glasses.
That doesn't make any sense.
Oh, it's so good, it is so good, it's very tasty.
It's very, very tasty.
Um, obviously you can.
(03:14):
You could add your own egg oryour own, uh, bourbon or whiskey
, whatever you wanted to, to aneggnog and, you know, do
something similar.
But I mean, why not just buythe bottle for why not 15 bucks?
Just buy the bottle and awayyou go.
It's Evan Williams eggnog.
It's so good, it's good.
Right, I can't Do you have yourphone on you, no, but what we
(03:38):
can see here is that we are liveand Amy is the only person.
Hi Amy it and Amy is the onlyperson that Hi Amy is commenting
.
It's great to see you.
Oh, that's good For those ofyou listening.
We are live on Instagram today.
We are live on Instagram Forthis show just because we
thought, eh what the heck, whynot Right?
Why not Merry Christmas?
(03:58):
Merry Christmas, listeners.
Why not go live?
You know, watchers, how manydays for the live, how many days
before christmas are we 15?
It's okay, but but for thelisteners, this is coming out
just a couple days beforechristmas.
Before christmas, yeah, becausewhat is it?
(04:18):
Let's see, it's a couple daysbefore christmas, a couple days
before christmas.
I don't want.
It's the day before christmaseve, oh, okay, so that's a
couple days before christmas,yeah.
So what I wanted to talk abouttoday?
Oh, did you bring presents?
I did.
I brought some gift boxes, somegift, some gift boxes.
So what's a really, what'sreally cool about this time of
the year is bourbon companies,whiskey companies, release these
(04:41):
gift packages, these gift boxes, and if you're watching on
Instagram Live, you'll see theseand you can head out to your
local establishment and findthese things.
But what's really neat is theseplaces.
Obviously they sell theirbourbon all year round, but
what's kind of fun is they willpackage for the same price, or
maybe a dollar more, or not verymuch more, if at all.
(05:04):
They'll package it withsomething sort of special.
So for me, you know what's weird?
We've never done Maker's Mark,we haven't Mm-mm.
And there's a recipe on theback, mm-hmm, rosemary maple
sour.
What?
Yeah, oh my gosh.
It says spread some cheers.
So you have to spread cheers.
If you buy that box, you haveto spread cheers.
(05:24):
Now, that's true, okay, okay,and I'll read out what's on the
back of this.
We'll kind of do a little review.
If Amy makes sure he'sspreading cheers, okay, please,
we'll open this up and we'llkind of go through.
You don't have to say, youdon't have to narrate what
you're gonna do, just do it.
Well, just do just.
(05:45):
But then we have another onethat we're gonna do.
Okay, just relax, we're gonnaopen this one up.
Can you let the?
Can you let the process justhappen?
Okay, so in this one we get afull bottle, 750 milliliters.
This is, this is yeah, this ismaker's mark.
I don't think we've done anymaker's mark stuff I would have.
I would have remembered the wax.
Yeah, this is kind of a.
(06:07):
So Maker's Mark is a Whiskey.
It's a whiskey, but it's aweeded bourbon.
Weeted.
It ends up being a little bitmore weeded.
So I think we could probablycrack this open and try it.
But what does it come with?
Are we going to do that For $23.
Do you want to?
Yeah, look, we've got theglasses.
Okay, it's christmas.
I don't know what did you plan?
(06:28):
We could do that.
The other one too.
Yeah, we sure could.
We're not even gonna know howto turn the camera off at the
end of this completely.
So really cool glass that, likerocks glasses, these come in and
they've got the.
They've got the s4 maker's marklabel on there or logo on there
.
I love it.
(06:49):
So, yeah, very cool.
And this one comes with twoglasses one for you and one for
a friend.
Oh, or, at least you could onefor you, yeah, one or one for
yourself and another one foryourself Clean, clean.
Well, the whiskey going inthere is going to make it clean,
(07:12):
I think too.
Oh, yeah, for sure, you knowthe alcohol kills, so it's kind
of fun that they do these.
Now.
A couple years ago, maybe myfavorite find was Bullet.
Bullet did a.
No, I named my dog Bullet afterthe whiskey.
Really, yeah, that's so funny.
I feel like you we're justgoing to throw this.
(07:33):
Hey-oh, the crew will take careof it.
Yeah, get on that guys.
Guys, come on, you're slacking,I mean you're fired, you're all
fired, thank you, and you'rerehired, okay, I mean, you're
fired, you're all fired, thankyou, and you're rehired, okay,
because we need you.
So Bullet did this one.
They did 350, 350s, so it was afull 750 of whiskey.
But they did a rye oh, that's agood idea and a bourbon, and
(07:56):
with it came a highball, yeti.
Oh yeah, wow, a Yeti, that wasa highball.
Oh yeah, wow, the a yeti, thatwas a high ball.
And so you're, you're talking,those things are 25 bucks, so to
buy, to be able to buy two halfbottles of whiskey, if you will
.
So a bottle of whiskey, right,for 35 dollars and get a yeti.
(08:18):
It was well worth it.
Well, same thing with this.
Like you know how muchglassware is, I mean at
creighton barrel, this would belike a thousand dollars.
Yeah, this, this single glass,right, $1,000?
Yes, wait, crate Barrel.
Did you hear what I said?
Crate Barrel?
Do people even shop at CrateBarrel anymore?
Yeah, they have whole stores.
(08:38):
You know that.
Yeah, you can go in.
You're inside of the brand,right, exactly.
Yeah, here, let me show youguys.
So we're going to do a tastingright here.
It's like a special episode ofthe Maker's Mark, Okay, so
what's interesting is when weget to the next one.
This is going to be a reallyinteresting little taste test.
Yeah, should I take a tastetest of the eggnog first or
(09:01):
leave it be and let's get tothis?
No, no, no, is that egg?
You know what that eggnog isalready.

It's higher in the wheat area.
It's definitely one of the mostcommon whiskeys that's out there
.
You're a common whiskey.
I'm sorry, you know what?
That was insensitive, it's okay.
(09:47):
It's's okay, it's fine, it'sfine.
So on the nose it's very, verysweet.
It's very sweet.
Hold on it smells of red wax.
No, I'm kidding that's.
Stop sniffing the bottle, phil.
Oh, sorry, that's the cap.
It's because I'm eating the cap.
Yeah, you can't use.
I'm supposed to do that.
Um, yeah, you know what's theproof on this?
(10:07):
This is 90.
Okay, yeah, it's a 90, thatthat nose is like a 90.
I mean it does not kill you onthe nose.
Yeah, it's actually kind ofnice because it's kind of just
enough.
I can can literally feel itlike kind of cleaning my, like
cleansing my.
I had a little bit of a stuffednose.
(10:28):
Yeah, not anymore.
I mean it's kind of likegetting up there.
Yeah, it's like just enough.
Yeah, so it's got a little bitof a.
It's healthy, it's a cold remedy.
It's healthy for you.
It is healthy.
Yeah, it's grains.
There's corn in there, there'swheat, wheat and like there's
there's wheat, corn and wheatcorn.
There's barley, there's liquid,which means there's probably
(10:49):
water in there.
It's like all of your sevengrains, yeah, all the grains.
You can pour milk in it.
Eggnog, you pour this in theegg.
You could pour milk in it.
What if we poured the dad jokeloading.
No, no, let's taste it.
Okay, ready, yep, as he smellsit.
(11:17):
Sorry, I just looked at yourgullet.
Did you did my gullet?
I saw the gullet.
Is that what it's called thegusset?
Oh, sorry, are you checking my?
My gullet is up here, I think I.
I'm like why are you sorry?
I just smacked my mic, yourgusset, my.
Look at it in my jeans.
Yeah, I saw it.
I was like, wow, that's a biggusset.
(11:37):
Yeah, well.
And then I thought I need toget pants with a gusset.
You really do, but I don't havepants with a gusset.
Well, but you clearly havepants with the gusset.
Yeah, I call it a gullet,though get at your gullet.
Amy left, I'm pretty sure she's.
I would leave after that likenever.
What are these guys?
This is not even watching.
(11:57):
Did you tag me?
No, I don't know how.
It's fine.
What do you think, though?
It's actually really good.
So what I was getting to was Igot like I don't know why in my
head I got gobstopper.
Yeah, I don't know why either.
Well, there's a real candysweetness on the very first hit.
(12:26):
Yeah, I can, I could see thatit's just, it's kind of there,
it's not I wouldn't say it's assubtle, as subtle, but it's like
, and then it kind of goes away.
But yeah, yeah, there's I don'tknow, there's some sort of just
like a candied something, sureCandied sweetness to it and I
(12:47):
think, and maybe it's a specificflavor, like orange maybe.
Um, that I'm getting a littlecitrusy, yeah, citrus, maybe
that's why because gobstopperstend to be citrusy, they're
definitely a hard candy, they're, they're definitely stop the
gob, you know, I mean they'llstop that gob.
What do you think?
What are you getting Besides aBuzz Lightyear, my favorite
(13:11):
character in Toy Story?
That's how you get aroundalgorithms.
Well, my Christmas spirit isbourbon.
Your Christmas spirit isbourbon.
No, you know what?
I'm actually pleasantlysurprised.
This is definitely better than Ithought it would be.
Yeah, I had zero expectation, Ididn't even.
(13:31):
Yeah, I mean, there's nothingspecial about this bottle.
It smells good.
There's nothing.
I mean this is Maker's MarkKentucky Straight Bourbon,
handmade since 1953.
So they're not that old, butthey're old to us.
But they're not.
I mean, this is that old butthey're old, old to us.
But like they're not like oneof the originals, right, but you
(13:51):
know, this is a, this is a.
Really, it's really good, youknow it's.
It's, it's kind of a reallyreally common whiskey.
So yeah, um, you know, I Idon't know that I would
necessarily say that it's adaily type like sipper, like I
wouldn't, I wouldn't go to thisone and be like, hey guys, have
you tried this?
This is really special, but whyis it?
It's not to me, because itdoesn't, it doesn't have as much
(14:15):
complexity, correct, yeah, it's, it's kind of a, it's kind of a
run of the mill.
It has a thing, it has a thing.
I would say, though, to me,though, it has a thing, it has a
thing that's a little differentthan some of the other.
You know what I mean.
Like in a way, that's like okay, it has a little more than a
thing.
Yeah, it's got a thing, butit's got a little more than a
(14:37):
thing.
It's got like a it's.
You know it's.
It's got something special.
It's sweet, it's sweet.
You know, I think there'sprobably five or six bourbons
that I would go to before I wentto this one, but at the same
time, I would love to have thison the shelf for somebody who
would come in and be like I'dlove to.
(14:59):
You got makers, yeah, perfect,yeah, you know what.
Or hey, you know what.
Like, can you make me a Jackand Coke?
No, let me, I'll get you aMakers and Coke, yes, you know.
Yes, something like that.
This is a step up.
Yeah, I have.

Or hey, I want to do an oldfashioned.
Or I want to do a Manhattan orNew Year's.
(15:23):
That would be awesome.
That's a great idea.
I can't believe you justthought of that.
Do you know what else we shoulddo?
Please don't say what I thinkyou're going to say.
I do not want to dress up.
Yes, we're doing it.
It's as if we've read eachother's minds.
I want you in a grey suit,you're lucky.
(15:43):
I want you in a gray suit,you're lucky.
I want you in a gray suit.
Black shirt Don't say blackpinstripe.
If you say black, skinny tie,black, no, no tie.
Okay, no tie.
I can do no tie because none ofmy shirts button up here,

None of my sales calls havereturned.
I don't know if you've beenlistening.
Oh, they could be watching.
I don't have a job.
Wait, amy said something.
We're going to do this.
We're going to go up and seewhat she said.
Hold on, oh ow, I can read itfrom here, you can.
It says nice, they don't makegobstoppers anymore.
(17:10):

Hold on a second.
Why don't you look that up onyour phone?
That is my phone.
I know Amy said they don't makegobstoppers anymore.
They're her favorite.
Yeah, yeah, I don't know aboutthat.
We'll have to fact check that.
Will you fact check your wifeplease?
No, I think she should factcheck herself.
(17:32):
Fact check yourself, amy.
She probably already did.
Oh, okay, yeah, it's true,bummer, that sucks, which is
ironic because the gobstopperyou have to suck on it.
Sorry, yeah, joke it.
Gobstopper, you have to suck onit in order to sorry, okay, dad
, joke.
Um, it's very good, I like.
Yeah, it ends up being kind ofwe have another one, we have
another one, okay, should we getinto that one?
Okay, fine, I'm gonna cleansemy palate here with the egg.

Oh, you know what I that thatis.
Oh, my goodness, I might haveto go get cinnamon sticks and

Just, I might have to go getcinnamon sticks and wear them
(18:17):
all over my body.
They make like cinnamon cologne.
They do.
Yeah, I'm just gonna, I thinkI'm just gonna throw it on
myself.
You'll be irresistible.
People will be like I feel likeI want to have you in my coffee
and I'll be like I know I wantto have me in my coffee too, and
(18:39):
sometimes I do.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let me show you what I brought.
Okay, I didn't bring this, youdid.
What am I holding?
More wheat, smoother sips,paper plane, kentucky meal.
Okay, so this is larceny.
Look at this, look at that.
We're going to open this up andshow this is I'm actually
(18:59):
really, I'm really pumped aboutthis.
Uh-oh, somebody's on.
Who is it?
Who is it?
I can't see.
I'm so blind.
We should have moved thatcloser, yeah, but then we
wouldn't be able to seeourselves.
I'll open this.
I'm going to go look.
Okay, okay, so this is Larceny.
What's up?
(19:19):
Allie, it's Allie, hi Allie,yes, hi Allie.
She has come.
All right, this is it.
This is what you've beenwaiting for.
All right, so I am live.
This comes from Larceny.
Yeah, it does this from larcenythat.
Yeah, this comes from larceny,okay, again.
So the the maker's mark.
I think that was like 22 bucks,23 bucks, the whole thing, with
(19:41):
the whole thing.
Yeah, special, now normally thebottle.
I mean, you know you're lookingat 20 glass, 20, 20 or so
dollars, 20, 23 dollars,something like that.
So you're, you're in a prettydecent deal to grab the
glassware.
It's not $1,000 worth of glass,but it's good, okay, it's good,
okay.
So that was a lot of time.
Oh, you know what we didn't dobefore we opened this?
(20:03):
We didn't read the recipe onthe back of the Maker's Mark one
, we'll do that at the end.
Yeah, whatever.
Okay, it is a weeded bourbon.
We haven't done any larceny.
This is a favorite of a lot offriends that I have as well.
So this comes as a Clayton andKroom leather wrapped.
(20:24):
Leather wrapped that's the wayI like them Rocks glass.
Now, look at this thing, lookat this thing.
I have one of these.
That is nice.
It is really nice.
I'll show it to this camera.
That's like.
That is nice.
It is really nice.
I'll show it to this camera.
That's like Show it to thiscamera.
Look at Allie, look at that.
Look at that.
Can you see it?
It's like a cuff.
It's like a fisty cuff.
It's a rocks glass and you canpull the leather off to wash it.
(20:47):
Don't ever wash the leather off.
No, you gotta wash it.
The glass, yeah, but you putthat on there when in Rome, when
in Rome, just saying statements.
So the reason that this oneattracted me was is I have an
Eagle Rare glass wrapped inleather, just like this.
Oh well, aren't we just so fancythat I picked up at the Buffalo
(21:10):
Trace Distillery when I wasdown there last a couple of
Novembers ago, okay, when I wentdown there A couple of

bit bigger.
Okay, does it have a leatherysmell to you or no?
Um, no, but let's ask.
(23:32):
Let's ask the leathery.
Oh, she loves the concept ofthe leather over the cup.
It is a, it is a neat.
It is a neat concept.
A lot of football players feelthe same way, do they?
Yeah, they love the leatherover the cup, oh, okay, okay, I
need to smell it on your glass,because all I smell is leather.
(23:53):
And I'm gonna smell your glassand we'll see if the get the
leather.
Oh yeah, no, you're smellingleather.
Yeah for sure you're not justsmelling.
Let your.
The leather has permeated the.
The glass, yeah, well, as to beexpected, it is a rocks glass.
So you know, it would be nice.
I think that would probablyinsulate the rocks a little bit
and keep it from getting toocold, but what?
(24:14):
But what do you think on thetaste?
It's got a little bit of a hit,a little bit of a punch.
It's like you had a plan butyou got punched in the face,
right?
Oh, you should use that a lotfor the next episode.
(24:34):
Are we back to Mike Tyson?
Are we going to Mike Tyson forthe first time?
No, you, we did say it earlierin this episode.
We should talk about Mike Tysonin the next one, though I will
make sure you do remember that.
Use your memory powers andremember that.
I mean, I think that's going tobe like if I, I think that's
going to be a theme.
(24:55):
I think there's going to be atheme.
I think there's going to be atheme.
This is good, it's very good,this is a lot.
Okay, side by side, I preferthe Larson, oh well.
Yes, this is more sophisticatedthan the makers.
But you can't say sophisticateduntil you're wearing a suit.
(25:15):
Okay, fine, I will not.
The next time I saysophisticated will be when I'm
wearing a suit.
But this is, this is different,in a way that is a little more
high end.
Yeah, like this is one where Idon't know, I mean, I could put
it in a mixed drink, but it'd belike the top tier mixed I you
know.
Yeah, like I would sip this.
(25:36):
Yeah, but if I ran out of stuffto me and I'm like I really
need a old-fashioned or amanhattan, I would, I would, I
would use it, but but this wouldbe a sipper.
Yeah, this is really, this isreally tasty.
Um, I'm, I'm really a big fan.
I I've tried larceny before.
I don't know if I've ever hadthem.
I have.
I've tried this before on somerecommendations from some
(25:57):
friends.
Wow, we're so fancy, but um, no, it's sophisticated, but yeah,
I can't say it.
Okay, uh, I've tried this on ona um, on a recommendation from
a friend.
I wasn't a big fan the firsttime of the friend.
I wasn't a big fan of thewhiskey.
Oh, okay, um, but because itwas so bad, I then became not a
(26:18):
fan of the friend right, you'relike, dude, this is what you're
recommending.
No, I'm kidding, this was a,this was a, this, this and uh, I
was wrong the first time I waswrong.
My pal has changed, for sureI've had.
Your pal has changed my palate.
Palate has changed my and mypals and your pals like, well,
I'm here and he's not.
I'm just kidding.
(26:38):
No, I'm here and he's not.
I'm just kidding.
No, I'm still friends with him.
He's still a good guy.
No, he's an awesome guy.
And there's multiple people whoare like, really, I feel like
he's a bad person.
No, no, no, but I really I'menjoying this.
And it's not just the Maker'sMark and the eggnog speaking,
it's the cameras and the lightsand the crew.
(26:59):
Get back to work.
I mean, look, how are wesupposed to do this show if our
crew, you left this.
What did I do?
Well, I'm sorry, it's not me,it's the crew.
That's what I'm talking to you.
Here's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to go switch camerasbecause I feel like we have a
lot more to talk about.
I'm going to go switch thecameras.
We're going to keep rolling,but I've got to do the crew's
(27:20):
job Because they're not doing it, and I'll check on the comments
, because there's comments onthe live.
So hold on here.
No, keep going.
You want me to talk through thecamera?
Yeah, it's fine, who cares?
Nobody cares.
We're going back to the Maker'sMark.
So this one.
So this sounds reallyinteresting.
The Maker's Mark Rosemary MapleSour.
(27:41):
So have you had a whiskey sourbefore?
Yes, okay, so this is one and ahalf parts Maker's Mark, three
quarter part fresh lemon juice,one half part maple syrup.
Do you have any of this stuff?
We can make this drink.
I definitely wait.
What is it?
Lemon juice, maple syrup?
Yep, a sprig of fresh rosemary,oh, yeah, in the garden.
(28:03):
Okay, and do you have anotherfresh rosemary sprig and a lemon
slice for a garnish?
I don't know if I have a lemonslice, but we could go to the
store.
Okay, I think, for I do notknow the time this, this, I mean
a rosemary maple, like I'mtrying to think of the, the
flavors there.
(28:23):
That's really interesting.
Rosemary and maple is notsomething you typically see
together.
Yeah, the rosemary veryfragrant, amy says.
Amy commented on the live, sowe're live streaming this for
those of you just listening.
Yeah, just if you've listenedso far and you haven't paid
(28:45):
attention to 39 to 29 minutes ofthis, like if you've just
joined us, we're live, we'relive streaming.
This am Amy says, not if you'relive, but hey, podcast listener
, if you're just joining us 29minutes in, we are live
streaming.
How would they even do that?
They'd have to be like theywon't.
That's why I'm making fun ofyou.
(29:05):
That would be like skipping tothe end of the episode.
They're like, let's get thisover with.
What's next week?
All I want to hear is someonesay next time, whiskey bits.
Remember your odds, I'm evencorrect.
So the odd episodes, that's you, amy said, tell us you have,
tell us you have add.
Without telling us you have add.
(29:26):
I'm offended, but it's alsotrue.
I don't have add.
I got tested.
I don't have.
I probably have something.
Okay, maybe a goiter.
You ready, you ready for yourgoiter?
I think you've got a nevis.
I did have a nevis and thenevis is gone.
Okay, here's how you prepare theBaker's Mark Rosemary Maple
(29:46):
Syrup.
Smack one sprig of rosemarybetween the palm of your hand Is
that what it says?
And activate its aroma.
Place in a shaker.
We're Mr Miyagi in this, mother.
That's how you do.
That's how you smell whiskey.
That is how you smell whiskey.
I did that the other day.
I spilled a little on my handand I was like, alright, isn't
it great, I'm gonna rub it in.
(30:07):
It actually was really good.
It's really cool, isn't it?
I can't stop sniffing myfingers.
Add remaining ingredients andshake with ice.
So the remaining ingredientswould be maker's mark bourbon,
fresh lemon juice and maplesyrup.
Strain into an ice flake filledglass.
Okay, garnish with lemon sliceand a fresh rosemary.
It's a recipe.
(30:28):
It's going to tell you what todo, okay, okay, merry christmas.
That sounds fantastic.
It does sound good.
Well, rosemary, they're like.
We wanted to taste like achristmas tree.
Okay, I get it.
That makes sense.
Thanks a lot.
But like the maple, the maplesyrup is gonna taste like a
christmas tree as well.
That's true.
The sap of a christmas tree islike.
They're like oh, it's like achristmas tree drink.
(30:50):
I instantly want to try this.
We're gonna have to make it,mark.
If your name was, that wouldhave been really good.
I'd be like we're going to haveto make her Mark.
Do you think that's how theygot the name?
The guy was Mark and they'relike hey, mark, we're going to
have to make her.
I think that it's.
The maker wanted to put a markon it and did that.
That makes more sense, and sonow it's Okay.
(31:12):
So here is Now Larceny.
We decided that this was thebetter of the two whiskeys,
agreed, mm-hmm.
Or is it just different thatI'm a little concerned about the
bear.
I feel like, okay, listen, add,are we sure that?
Yeah, the Larceny tastes better, but the bear has the bottle
(31:34):
top Stuffed up, kind of like ina Right and it's like in a hard
spot.
All right, so the Larcenybourbon actually offers two
recipes.
So not only did it taste betterthan the Maker's Mark, it gave
us more value, that's true.
And I have copper mugs.
You know what?
We'll just try them all.
Okay, so we have copper mugs.
(31:54):
You would have had to see thesecond recipe that I'm going to
read for your foreshadowing.
No, I did see it before, okay,so the first one I'm going to
read to you.
I'll start with the KentuckyMule.
It's a Scottish Mule.
Is that what it is?
It's a Kentucky Mule, okay.
Okay, it's two ounces of Larcenybourbon.
Hey, we have that.
Three ounces of ginger beer, Idon't have that.
(32:17):
One half ounce lime juice andone half ounce of simple syrup.
So it's a Moscow mule, but it'sa Kentucky mule because you put
whiskey in it, okay, instead ofvodka.
That's not as creative.
So you do all that stuff andthen you drink it.
Do all the things, you just putit all together and stir it up
and then you drink it.
Yeah, so it's a drink you drink.
It's a drink you drink, okay,all right.
(32:38):
Okay, I mean, this one's alittle bit more, I'll go with it
.
This one sounds a little bitmore interesting.
Less To me, okay, I think whenyou talk about a Christmas gift
box, maker's Mark gave us a veryaromatic.
Okay, it's so aromatic.
Here's the other one Of all thearomatics, it's the most
(33:01):
aromatic.
I would agree with that.
Okay, that's Jewish Trump.
I would agree with that.
Who is that?
Maybe Barack Obama?
I would agree with that.
Let me be clear.
If you were going to tell methat, I would agree with that,
yeah, be clear.
If you were going to tell methat, I'd say I would agree with
that.
Yeah, all right, now I get down.
(33:22):
Okay, reset, okay, paper plane.
Three quarters of an ounce ofLarceny bourbon.
We have that.
We have that.
Okay, I guarantee you don'thave this, try me.
Which is three quarters of anounce of sweet orange aperitivo,
aperitivo?
Yeah, I do.
(33:42):
Actually, do you really?
I don't have orange aperitivo,I have regular aperitivo.
Shut up, I think so.
Or is it Aperol?
There's Aperol and Apertivo.
It's Apertivo.
Yeah, okay, I have one of those.
What do you have the other one,aperol, amaro?
No, aperol, aperol.
Yeah, that's different.
Three quarters of an ounce ofAmaro what the fuck is that?
(34:05):
And then three quarters of anounce of fresh lemon juice.
Combine all the ingredients inthe shaker, add ice and shake
until chilled.
Strain the cocktail into acoupe glass or a cocktail glass.
Cocktails Garnish with a lemonpeel or a paper plane, An actual
paper plane, that is just.
That's called the paper plane.
(34:26):
They could have called itanything.
At that point they were like ah, what do we call it?
I don't know.
All right, I give, I givethat's.
If we were to rate these by fivestars I don't even know why,
why I would do that, but I wouldsay that I would say that the
large so random.
I think we'll talk about thatlater, because I want to get to
(34:48):
the bottom of the stars comment.
Let's talk about stars later.
But the Larceny bourbon.
I would say better bourbon,worse options.
When it came to the recipes,like, did you phone it in?
A Kentucky mule is a verycommon thing.
A paper plane this is a commonthing.
(35:09):
My kids make it all the time.
It's a lot of stuff.
I saw a paper plane on thefloor the other day at a bottle
stand.
But if we're talking unique NewYork, we're looking at spreading
some cheer.
We're going to do the Maker'sMark Rosemary Maple Sour.
We're going to do that, yeah.
So let me get this straight.
We have to take a picture of aManhattan, which means we're
(35:29):
going to pour a drink and makeit for our future episode,
because we take pictures wayahead of time.
And then we're also going to doI'm sorry, I'm just gathering
all my whiskey yes, hold on, letme just.
Okay.
Then we're also Cheers, cheers.
(35:50):
Yeah, there we go.
Also going to do the what isthat called?
Schleppe, leppe, ding dong.
We're going to do the rosemary,that one Rosemary maple, the
rosemary maple sour.
(36:12):
Yeah, don't just you just keeprepeating what I'm saying.
If I keep repeating what you'resaying, should I just keep
repeating what you're saying?
Yeah, you should.
I'm really upset.
I don't have the Santa hat.
That was the one piece of thispuzzle.
That is some skill, man handlingan eggnog whilst drinking a
(36:35):
whiskey.
I gotta tell you, like just sipby sip, back to back, sips,
right, isn't it not good?
It's not good, it's not as good.
Well, you mean, that's not asgood.
Hold on.
Not as close, not even close.
Sorry, shouldn't have inhaledToo deep of an inhale.
(37:04):
Yeah, it's, the larceny has alittle more depth.
I would say, yeah, I'm a bigfan of the larceny.
And look, I think if we weregoing to say our whiskey bits
stamp, stamp of approval, itdefinitely goes with that
larceny.
We can do that.
Are you ready for this?
Yes, it's your bottle, right.
Yeah, okay, hold on, are youready?
I'm ready.
But first you haven't left thismany times in an episode that I
(37:29):
can remember we have episodethat I can remember we have Amy
says Adderall.
Amy has suggested I takeAdderall.
We have our Whiskey Bits stampsof approval here, an actual
(37:50):
sticker.
Would you like to put it on thebottle?
Well, I didn't know.
Know, would you see how goodthe, how easy these come off?
I would say if you wanted toput this on the back right here,
uh-huh, there's a nice piece ofglass right there.
Oh, look at that piece wherethat would fit.
Yeah, really, really well.
You could also do the side ifyou wanted.
Oh, you could do the side.
But I would say, right here onthe back, this is like a we're
(38:13):
going to put the stamp ofapproval.
It's like a tramp stamp ofapproval.
You say tramp stamp, live onInstagram.
Well, I just did so.
Sue me, don't, actually,because I couldn't afford the
lawyer.
It's going to look so good,dude, and I didn't even think
about it.
But look at the way the colorslook.
That's really cool.
(38:34):
That is actually really nice.
That's really neat.
Can you show that to ourInstagram followers?
Yeah, so it actually goesreally well.
The colors go well with thatLarceny brand.
I think we should talk toLarceny about it.
We should tell them Anyway,check this out, right there, ski
(38:58):
beds stamp over.
Now it's backwards, backwardson here.
I'm glad amy's watching.
What else is she got?
I'm glad she's watching.
Okay, I, this looks really cool, I think.
I think when next year, if wewere to make any plans, I think
next year we should try to makeit down to Larceny.
(39:19):
We should bring this.
We should show them how well itfits, yes, and that it received
the WhiskeyBits stamp ofapproval.
Congratulations, you've won anaward.
You've won a major award.
It's a major award.
Ham Hal, you said you want it.
Yeah, mind power, smee, mindpower.
It's a major award.
(39:40):
Christmas story it could beanything, right Major.
Look at how major this is.
You know what?
It could be a bowling alley.
There could be anything inthere.
How are they going to pack abowling alley in there?
There could there could be.
(40:01):
There could be anything.
How are they gonna pack abowling alley in there?
That could be a deed to abowling alley.
The deed great, great movie.
I don't expect him to bring thewhole great, uh, great great
whiskey.
I really enjoyed.
I really enjoyed that one.
I'm really glad we tried thethe maker's mark I.
This really kind of falls into alike I'm sorry, guys, this does
not get our stamp of approval.
I know they have a lot of othervarietals that are out there
that are available.
There's some, there's somecellar age stuff that I know is
(40:22):
really good.
I think their their standardrun of the mill stuff is tasty
but really kind of falls intoour mixer.
It's a mixer on your shellmixer.
I wouldn't.
I would not put this one.
I would not say that youabsolutely have to have this one
.
I think if you're looking forsomething that you have to have,
that's 23 available all thetime and right now, throw this
(40:43):
larceny because it's in the giftpack.
And right now on the gift packyou would get this beautiful
leather wrapped glass.
It's nice.
Um, it does add a little bit offung's way, oh, smell and taste
to leather.
The drink is very leathery.
I think it's a nice littleinsulated piece and, and
certainly it is a nice lookingglass.
(41:06):
It's sitting out by the fire.
It gives you something to holdon to.
Um, I, I mean, I love it.
Um, I love the, I love it.
I just, I, just, I love thisclass.
Do you love?
I love?
What can I say?
I love this class, I love thisclass.
Michael's god, oh, my goodness.
(41:26):
Um, you know, it is interestingmixing the elements of leather,
and is that an element?
Leather's not an element?
I'm gonna say leather should bean element.
Let's move it up.
Is the element table?
I think we move it up toelement status, because what is
it?
What is the height?
Is it on the periodic table?
It should be le.
I think leather.
(41:46):
Okay, yeah, I think le alreadyhas.
I think that's lead?
Actually no, lead is PB,because that makes sense.
Can we talk about the periodictable?
I mean really?
I mean, who is nicknaming theelements?
(42:07):
Who is naming these?
Who is abbreviating lead,l-e-a-d as P-B?
It don't make no sense.
But what does make sense issipping the eggnog through a
(42:28):
cinnamon stick straw.
Do it, you won't do it.
There's a lot of people outhere saying that you won't do it
.
There's a lot of people andsaying that you won't do it.
There's a lot of people and bya lot I mean of all the people,
of all the Amy's watching thelive.
I like this.
They go.
It's very good eggnog.
It's very good eggnog.
(42:48):
That was the most obnoxious.
That was the most obnoxious andyou've smacked your lips so
many times.
That was probably the mostobnoxious sound that we've ever
had on this podcast.
I'm going to increase the dBsin that section.
That did not work.
No, I didn't think it would.
You would think it would work,but it does not.
(43:11):
I realize that it is a completewaste of a cinnamon stick, but
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure that I will drinkanother eggnog without a
cinnamon stick sticking out ofit.
Here's the thing the smell, thearoma, just the aroma alone.
Yeah, when's the last time youused a cinnamon stick for
anything?
Ever, nobody uses them.
I had to open your obnoxiouslylarge jar of cinnamon sticks.
(43:36):
Do you need two?
You have 70.
I know you guys bought acinnamon stick.
I will have those for mygrandkids when their kids are
alive.
That'll be a hand-me-down forthe grandkids.
What are you going to do withthis when we're done?
You're going to throw it away,right?
I think I might frame it.
I don't know what are you goingto do with this when we're done
?
You're going to throw it away,right?
I think I might frame it.
I don't know, what do you dowith the cinnamon stick?
(43:59):
You frame it.
No, that's not what you do withcinnamon sticks.
It does this weird thing whereit unfolds and you're like oh,
that's not how you're supposedto be, you got to be rolled up.
Really, it unfolds, yeah.
When it gets wet, yeah, well,yeah, okay, it releases itself
(44:19):
really from its burden.
I have rolled up like a doobie.
I have not.
I do not have any experiencewith cinnamon sticks, it's just.
This is the first time I'veever even touched one.
They are intimidating.
Let me, there's one thing Iknow about cinnamon sticks is
they're extremely intimidating.
They will to look at and tomanhandle.
And you do not want tomanhandle no, you don't.
(44:41):
You don't want to be in theback side of a cinnamon stick.
I'll tell you that that is, uh,that's a dangerous place to be.
Let me tell you, I've gotstories I could tell you.
I won't because I don'tremember them, but they're there
.
Yeah, the stories exist.
I I don't know what they are,but they're there, they're there
(45:02):
.
Do not sip out of that.
I try, I could.
I can't, it doesn't work.
The is that the best, uh, glassof eggnog you've ever had?
It actually really is.
It's pretty good, isn't it?
I think it's the eggnog, it'sthe whipped cream, it's the
cinnamon and the cinnamon stick.
(45:23):
The stick is the best.
You know it's a multi-senseexperience, multal, that's not a
word Multi-sense experience.
You get the smell of thecinnamon stick, the taste of all
the Polysensual yeah, kind oflike that Polysensual, multiple
(45:49):
scents, all the scents,polyscent, maybe even Scent, and
then also sensual, because it'skind of oh, no, no, just
sensual, but it's kind ofsensual.
No, no, sensual.
No, I know it's sent-tual, butlike it's also sensual.
No, no, just sensual.
I think I want to snuggle upwith this cinnamon stick, phil.
(46:10):
Sensual Scent.
I'll go up with the cinnamonstick, sensual Sent.
There's a T at the end of it,there In the middle.
Sensual Sent, you chew.
Sensual.
Sensual yeah.
Sensual yeah.
Hello, viewer, is there morethan one?
Well, we might be up to three.
(46:34):
We have crossed over into the47-minute mark.
We have tried larceny, we havetried maker's mark, we have an
eggnog and it is Christmas.
Merry Christmas, merryChristmas, phil.
I would be remissed if I didn't.
I know we want to be funny,don't not be funny, but it is
(46:57):
Christmas, it is Jesus' birthday.
Yeah, and that is the reasonfor the season.
Mm-hmm, okay, that's all Iwanted to say.
No, no, this is really good.
We have to say it, we do, andwe said it and we did, and there
it is.
We have to say it, we do and wesaid it and we did, and there
it is.
We did Jesus.
It's a festive time, butremember, that's what it's about
(47:20):
.
Yeah, it's not about eggnog,it's not about whiskey, it's
about the birth of Jesus.
Yeah, and that is the best giftwe could have.
Oh man Now, oh man Now.
So good If, instead of wine, itwould have been whiskey, that
would have been nice, like whenhe turned water into whiskey.
If he would have turned waterinto whiskey, I would have
(47:41):
enjoyed that.
I would have appreciated thatas a thing.
Just a note, I would haveenjoyed the wine too.
Well, I'm sure it was good.
That had to be some good wine.
I mean, the Bible says it wasthe best Of all the wines.
It was good wine.
Who is that?
(48:02):
I don't know.
I don't even know what I'mdoing.
Even a person.
You sounded like you had braindamage and then tried to speak
for the first time.
It was good.
It was good wine.
Wine, it was the best wine.
I.
(48:23):
Now you sound like somebodywith like a speech impediment.
Wine, I'm all the wine.
You sound like somebody who'shad too much wine.
Fine, phil, merry Christmas.
(48:49):
Thank you for buying both ofthese for me.
I really appreciate that you'releaving them here.
I mean I can't believe that.
I can't believe it either.
That is incredible.
It's a miracle.
It's a Christmas miracle.
And the 300 bucks?
I mean that is amazing.
And you just dropped it.
(49:10):
What about the shopping spree?
We're going to go on.
Oh, that too.
I forgot about the shoppingspree.
We're going to go on.
Oh, that too.
I forgot about the shoppingspree.
We have to go on the shoppingspree, oh, my goodness.
Yeah, thank you.
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas, it's going to be the next year
and we've got to figure outwhat we're going to do for our
New Year's episode.
I can't wait to plan this one.
We should do a lot of planningahead of time.
(49:31):
Okay, let's really do something.
Well, first of all I meanspoiler alert we're going to do
Manhattans.
We already said that.
Okay, I'm going to be in a bowtie.
Okay, you're going to be in agray suit.
It's hard to get me in a suit.
I think that we are going tofocus mostly on quotes from Mike
