What if a glass of bourbon could transport you through time? We kick things off with a personal anecdote about our first sip of Michter's Small Batch Bourbon, a spirit with roots tracing back to 1753. We share our lighthearted musings on its rich history, aromatic profile, and how its color amusingly resembles the amber cane from Jurassic Park. Join us as we unravel the layers of this Kentucky gem, and let the flavors whisk you away on a sensory journey filled with laughter and historical tidbits.
Ever wondered what it’s like to balance a new job with the immersive world of gaming? In this segment, we tackle the unpredictability of life, sharing personal tales of how video games, like "The Last of Us," can be both a distraction and a comfort. We dive into the latest tech with our thoughts on the PlayStation Portal vs. the Nintendo Switch, peppered with nostalgic reflections on gaming's golden moments. Our playful banter serves up a mix of humor and insight, making the digital realm feel like a familiar friend.
Finally, we wander into an unexpectedly quirky discussion about the art (or lack thereof) of ear piercing with a gun. With our trademark wit, we navigate this peculiar topic, imagining fictitious diseases and humorous parallels to gothic-themed documentaries. Alongside the laughter, we explore the therapeutic nature of gaming and whiskey, comparing new beginnings to the endurance of a marathon. Whether you're a whiskey aficionado, a gaming enthusiast, or simply in need of a good chuckle, this episode promises a delightful mix of entertainment and nostalgia.

It's a wood, top cork.
I really like their bottles,their labels, the bottles.
I like it all.
Yeah, it's got the old potstill on there.
Pre-revolutionary war qualityStandard dating to 1753.
What this guy right here is a91 proof.
Hold on a second.
It's Pre-Revolutionary War.
(02:31):
Well, yeah, see, theRevolutionary War happened in
During the Revolution 1776.
That's when we became a country.
Correct, that was theRevolutionary War, right?
So this one was established1753, which would be about 20,
holy cow, or so years.
(02:52):
It's really that old.
Well, I mean, this bottle'sfrom Just a couple years ago.
Well then, can you imagine howwell that would taste if you did
a joke?
I think I did a joke, I don'tknow it kind of was, but Cheers,

That would taste if you dadjoke.
I think I need to judge.

Our second episode of the newyear, third.
Okay, all right, so you getinto the year.

Oh, it is season two.
I guess, I don't know, wereally haven't decided.
I mean, we're calling it seasontwo.
Oh, it haven't whatever.
I mean, we're calling it seasontwo.
Oh, it is very welcome seasontwo.
Yeah, it is just very.
I don't want to use the wordpungent again.
Pungent.
I feel like I'm gonna use it,but I don't want to because
don't do it.
You said it's 91 proof.
It's, it's, it's 91.4, so it'snot as much, but it'd be
(03:42):
interesting to see if it holdsto that or if it tastes like a
higher proof.
I don't know, I just I.
There's just something about thearoma, the nose, it just it is
good, it gets me good, it getsme deep.
I mean it has a classic bourbonsmell to it.
(04:06):
Yeah, you know that kind ofwoodsy, oaky, yeah, but there's
like a sweetness behind it too.
Naturally it is bourbon, so weknow it's 51% corn at least Aged
in new oak barrels.
These are white oak barrels,charred barrels.
And where are these?
If that matters, these guys arebased out of Louisville,
(04:27):
kentucky.
Oh man, I like the color.
The color is kind of thecolor's nice, isn't it?
No age statement on this bottle, on the small batch, but yeah,
the color's nice.
It's almost like a really just.
It reminds me of the JurassicPark amber cane top that the guy
had with the mosquito in it.
(04:49):
I always wanted one of those.
Can you find one of those forme?
I'll work on it and then chiselit so it's nice and smooth and
then we can have it.
This is the microphone.
Let's make it's too bad.
This isn't like an archaeologypodcast, should we do?
Yeah, let's drink it.
(05:14):
A lot of corn off the front,right?
Yeah, not as complex as Ithought.
Are you getting some corn husk?
No, that's more in the afterdays.
No, that's more in the afterdays.
I was kind of expecting theflavor to be a little more
complex, similar to what I'mgetting from the nose, but I
(05:36):
need to try it again, probably.
Ooh, you're really Kentuckychewing that.
Oh, wow, that's like Kentuckygnaw right there.
Wow, it's like a Kentucky.
I just want to break it loose alittle bit.
Break it loose your teeth oryour gums or the Just, all of it
, all of it.
I want to break everythingloose.
It's everything in my mouth.
Just I want to.
Can I just get loose, get loose.
(05:57):
Oh, blah, blah, blah.
America.
I don't know, that was lastweek's episode, that was two
weeks ago.
Who knows.
This is like that time I took awinemaking class and forgot how
to drive.
It's like we're in a timevortex.
(06:19):
I think it's the future, butit's the past.
Weird In the past.
Future, but it's the past.
Weird in the past.
What are we talking?
Uh, price wise for this one.
This is the one that'savailable all the time, all the
time, yeah, all the time.
Relatively 35 bucks, yeah, 35,40, maybe, maybe into the 40s,
(06:40):
but um, it's really tasty.
It is for the price, for theprice point, and I mean you grab
one, put it on your shelf, putit on there.
I'm not, well, wait, I'm notgiving it the stamp of approval
yet, right?
Well, I'm holding off a littlebit.
It kind of feels like it's doneits thing and and I don't know
how much is left.
You know what I mean.
Yeah, like I don't know ifthere's going to be a Ooh, it's
(07:02):
opened up more.
Like I'm kind of like on the,on the, on the backend, like the
aftertaste kind of has a littlebit of a bitterness to it.
Agreed, almost like a coffeebitterness, not a coffee flavor,
but like the feeling on thetongue you get.
I couldn't agree more.
It's, it's.
Yeah, I, that's exactly what Iwas thinking was.
(07:25):
For me, it's the finish, it'sthe aftertaste that doesn't
quite hit, right, yeah, it kindof just stays.
Yeah, and maybe that's more ofthe ethanol kind of aftertaste,
like if it was just straightalcohol.
Yeah, well, you know how, likesometimes they taste a little
bit like banana peels.
Yes, yes, this isn't likebanana peels.
(07:45):
Yes, yes, this isn't quitebanana peels, but that's a
that's a byproduct of theethanol burning off.
Okay, um, yeah, that's thatbitter taste.
Yeah, I mean and I've eaten alot of banana peels surprisingly
, just go nuts with those things.
Well, it's a staple of my dietreally.
Yeah, oh, it's banana, lots offiber.
Yeah, I think what it was is.
(08:05):
They were like oh, you shouldtry banana pudding, but I
thought that the peel was a partof it and I just kept doing it.
No one's told me to stop, so I'mnot telling you to stop, that's
for sure.
Uh, somebody should tell me tostop something and start
something at the same time.
Stop starting stopping.
Stop stopping the things youstart.
(08:27):
Stop, start stopping, startstopping the things you start.
That means you stop, stop,start.
If you say start stopping thethings you've started, you suck
at it.
If you say stop, unless you'restopping the things you start,
you're a quitter.
Unless you're stopping, unlessyou're stopping, unless, like,
your job is stopping, oh yeah,then you want to stop, start
(08:48):
stopping, nope, at some point,start stopping, you're going to
step up.
You got to step up.
If you're going to startstopping, all I can see is the
step up movie poster.
Yeah, was it Jessica Alba?
I don't know.
Channing tatum, I don't know.
I don't know.
Step up, you better step off.
(09:09):

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,no.
Not a good idea.
So, yeah, I'll take it off myphone.
I started playing.
You play video games.
My brother-in-law has a PS5 anda PlayStation Portal.
Have you seen this?
I don't know what a PlayStationPortal is.
I'm an Xbox guy and I have aSwitch.
All right, imagine, the Switchis a perfect example.
Okay, okay, this is aPlayStation Switch.
(15:19):
Oh, it has a screen in themiddle.
Okay, it has a screen in themiddle, it's a big one, it's a
big screen.
Oh, it's a big screen In themiddle.
Oh, and you can stream fromyour PS5 at home, right, your
games on the portal, like in adifferent location though.
Yeah, see, that's cool, like Ican be in, I don't know.
Say Minnesota, oh, okay,minnesota and my PS5 can be at,
(15:43):
say, can somebody else play onthe PS5 while you're playing?
No Right, they haven't figuredthat out yet.
Not exactly.
This is Backbone.
Have you heard of the Backbonecontroller?
Yeah, yeah, you knew I boughtone and then I realized, oh, it
(16:04):
has to.
That one is a step below theportal, the Backbone.
You can't be away, I don't'tthink, from your house, which
what's the point?
I don't understand it.
I was like, oh, it's acontroller.
I can tell you what the pointis.
If I don't want to godownstairs and I want to be
ultra lazy and just play from mybed, I can't.
(16:24):
That's cool, that is kind ofcool.
But it also has a streamingfeature.
So playstation has all of thesegames that they stream.
Yeah, yeah, and so you can.
Anything that's in there withthe streaming library you have
access to, regardless of whetheror not that PlayStation's on in
use.
Oh, so you can play games inthe streaming thing, even if
yours isn't on, because is it?
(16:45):
Or if somebody else has hadhome playing it, or somebody
else is connected to it to thesame PS five through another
portal.
So your it or somebody else isconnected to it to the same ps5
through another portal, so your,I can still play games.
Is it like disc?
That's really cool.
I'm gonna have to look it up.
No, it's, it's all streamed.
That's all streamed on the.
Yeah, and like it saves yourplace, yeah, so one of the
streaming games is last of us.
(17:07):
Oh, part one.
Oh, I've never it, but that'sbecause it's PlayStation.
I put yeah, I played when, whenwhen I first got a PlayStation
four, I played it for severalhours, several hours a day, and
then I I got I don't know.
I don't want to.
I don't want to say like I gotbored with it, but like I just
ran out of time for it, like itjust wasn't a thing.
(17:29):
Yeah, I go through phases ofvideo games where I'm like
really into one and you're goingto find out, but I'm really
into one, and then I go crazywith it, yeah, and then I like
kind of never play it for like ayear and then I go back to it
again.
Yeah, that might be what I endup doing, like Minecraft, but
because I can stream this thingand play from wherever whenever
(17:50):
I want, that is a problem, canbe a problem.
Could be a problem, could be.
So he had this thing and I waslike, man, we should probably
get one of those.
This is your brother, this ismy brother-in-law, yeah, and I
was like the guy you're workingfor now, hold on a second, I
(18:11):
just want to paint a picturehere.
So you got the job.
Hold on a second, I just wantto paint a picture here.
So you got the job.
The guy you're working for hasnow given you the idea Wow, that
is awesome.
It's his fault.
Do you want to know whathappened?
No, yes.
(18:34):
So we were traveling and decidedwe should get one of these with
the portal, and my oldest sonis big into video games.
He's like oh, that'd be awesome.
Yeah, of course, they're allgoing to love it.
He's like could I buy one formyself?
I was like yeah, yeah, you'vegot the money saved up.
Sure, let's do it.
So I went and bought two ofthem.
I don't have the money saved up, let's do it.
(18:56):
So I went and bought two ofthem.
I don't have the money saved up, phil, but could you buy one
for myself?
No, but I so, spider-man, yougotta play spider-man.
He's playing spider-man.
Oh, it's one of the streaminggames.
You can play it wherever.
And he's he's into the, thenewest one, the it's, it's the
miles morales one.
Yeah, I've never played it.
I'm so jealous.
Yeah, all the kids are playingit now.
Um, because they like yeah,because they'll grab the
(19:17):
playstation portal and they'lljust like, yeah, log in and play
it.
Did you bring it here?
It's great?
No, so.
So then, um, you know, if yougot two portals, were you
playing last of us as I textedyou?
No, no, I was in the car.
Oh, no, that would have beenfunny.
No, I was in the car.
Oh, no, no, no, that would havebeen funny.
No, no, I was in the car.
I was like, oh, shoot, it's 845.
I should probably get upstairsand take a shower and stuff.
(19:40):
And then, 10 minutes later,were you playing Last of Us in
the shower.
Can you bring it in the shower?
No, it's not waterproof.
Okay, look what I was playing.
Sorry, stop what I was playing.
Like, so I was playing RainbowSix.
Oh, yeah, I thought you saidyou were playing Last of Us.
I mean, that's one of the gamesI have, but it turns out I can
(20:02):
also play Rainbow Six, but Ifeel like not.
Four months ago we've chattedabout video games and you're
like I don't play video games?
No, no desire, no desire, wow,yeah.
So your life is ruined.
It doesn't make sense to havetwo PlayStation portals why not?
And only one PS5.
Oh no, did you buy another PS5?
(20:25):
So now?
So, now there's two.
We have two PS5s.
Come on, there's two.
We have two ps5s, there's twops4s, two ps5s, two playstation
portals, and I think we've got awii somewhere.
We just bought it just to like,lose it.
(20:47):
We bought the wii just so thatwe would have something where
we're like, we got it somewhere.
We don't know where it is, it'slike in the chicken coop.
There's probably two or threeof them, probably In the chicken
coop.
The chickens like to playBecause they're so cheap.
You could just go buy them atGameStop for like 20 bucks.
My dad won.
They're basically disposable.
I know, yeah, that's insane,yeah, yeah.
(21:14):
So we bought the ps5 while wewere traveling, so that we had
something to do while we weretraveling.
Oh my gosh, so so wait.
So now, technically, couldn'tfour people play at the same
time?
Yeah, not off the same ps5, butlike like one person has one
ps5, another person has theother, and then you guys do the
portal.
As long as it's not a game.
That's as long as it's not agame.
That's as long as it's notlogged in to another user.
(21:34):
No, it can't even be.
You can't even be on it.
Okay, I don't even think youcan be on it.
I have to check.
I have to check.
See that to me.
Because I have to check,because the reason we got the
second one Some nerd right nowis getting really upset about
our episode.
(21:58):
He's like, clearly it states inthe instructions you can't,
sorry, go ahead.
Okay, first of all, if there'sa person that actually knows,
because I went through, ifthere's a person that talks like
that, first of all.
Yeah, that's true, that, maybethat's true.
You know, get some speech.
There are no clear instructionson how this thing works.
There's no clear instructionson how this thing works.
It took a very, very long timejust to get like keon set up
yeah, because he was a child onon our account and like, yeah,
then you're not allowed to dohardly anything on the portal,
(22:20):
and I'm like that's a waste andso like we just made him a new
account where he's 21 orwhatever and like you can just
do whatever you want.
They grow up so fast.
They grow up so quick, so fast,so quick, but, um, but yeah,
anyway.
So, like, so, I don't know, butlike, my thought is, if I'm at
home or I'm not at home sorry ifI'm not at home I've got the
two ps5s.
There's no way they're bothgoing to be in use at the same
(22:43):
time.
Most of the time, most of thetime, you have three boys,
correct, correct, you know howmany.
My point is, my point is I cancall them and say, yeah, hey,
get off my playstation.
Actually, the portal comes outand says, um, hey, phil is
logged in and is taking controlof this.
Oh, and I can shut them off.
Yeah, that's awesome.
(23:04):
Yeah, can they retake control?
Um, maybe that'd be funny, it'smaybe all day.
You're just like, you know,maybe control and losing control
, maybe, but either way, I'mlike oh, this thing is, this is
fun.
Oh, my gosh, yeah, so I'mplaying video games.
Are you going to let me play?
Sure, I think cross-platformneeds to happen more.
(23:25):
I'm tired of like games that Ican't play.
Well, like I realized sony ownsspider-man, but like, come on,
share it with microsoft so I canplay it.
Oh, they did, they did thatwith me.
Uh, mlb the show do you want todo you want a ps4?
Yeah, because I have a bunch ofthem.
How many do you got five ofthem?
No, just two.
But ps4s are old, right, yeah,but they're not bad that old.
(23:49):
No, old, no, they're stillmaking.
Well, you can still buy gamesfor the PS4.
For PS4?
Yeah, so it's like all the newgames that are coming out right
now on the PlayStation platformare PS4 and PS5.
Oh, when did the 5 come out?
Two years ago, okay, threeyears ago.
Yeah, I have the Xbox Series X,which is very confusing.
(24:10):
It was like Xbox One and thenit was like Xbox One Series X.
I was like, why don't you callit like Xbox Series Z or
something Like why X?
It's confusing.
Yeah, I don't know.
Is it Twitter?
Like, what is this?
Yeah, right, like, does ElonMusk own it?
(24:31):
Does it just blow up?
Yeah, you launch it into spaceand it explodes.
I'm sure he'll figure it out.
Good luck, elon, with therockets.
Good luck with the rockets, Idon't know.
Have fun blowing your ships up.
I just feel like he needed anencouragement there.
He's listening.
(24:51):
He is Everyone's listening.
They are all listening.
Uh, the games I'm into.
Yeah, I was playing before youcame when I texted you actually.
Yeah, uh, so the news.
So I really got into zelda.
Oh, I never played it when Iwas a kid, yeah, but there's a
bunch of different ones.
So there's like Breath of theWild.
(25:12):
Then there's Tears of theKingdom.
Those are like it's allNintendo Switch, but they're
like, oh, he looks more like aproportioned human being.
It's open world and all that.
Then there was Link's Awakening,which is more of like the top
down kind of one yeah, like morelike the old school one, the
original one.
Yeah, like more like the oldschool one, the original.
(25:33):
Yeah, yeah.
And then this new one I don'teven remember what it's called.
No, it's basically, instead ofplaying as Link, you're playing
as Zelda trying to save Link.
Interesting, yeah.
And so I got that for Christmas,okay, and I've been playing
that.
That's all on the Switch.
It's awesome, yeah, yeah, okay,I love it.
(26:00):
It's awesome.
Yeah, I have that.
But then also call of dutymobile, okay, which I think I've
given up on streaming that.
On tiktok, I'm over it.
Good, I'm over it.
It's stupid.
I'm done with it, like I'm donewith the, the gaming portion of
that there.
It's just, it's like I don'tknow if I'm shadow banned or
whatever they call it, like theyjust won't push you out, okay,
but I'm like it's just a wasteof my time to stream.
I'm like why am I even doingthis?
(26:20):
I'll still play it, but I gotto legendary legend.
Wait for it, dairy, therethere's.
There's multiplayer, which islike you're on teams and you're
doing like team death match,where you're like going, you
know, 10 versus 10 or somethinglike that.
Then there's battle royale,which is similar to fortnite,
which I suck at fortnite,because fortnite does not do and
(26:44):
I it bugs me so much justrelease the option to do first
person.
It's third, it's this thirdperson stuff.
I'm like I don't care what mycharacter looks like Like, I
want to be able to actually likeget somebody in the game.
So I cannot do the third personview.
It just does not Interesting,it doesn't work for me, it
(27:06):
throws me off.
But in in a call of duty,battle Royale is like you're in
this open world and the zone isshrinking and so it's last man
standing kind of thing.
You can be on a team byyourself or you can be on with
four people or two people orthree.
But I got up to in multiplayerthe team deathmatch stuff.
(27:30):
I'm legendary status, which isthe highest, and then in battle
Royale, I'm like a couple belowthat.
Okay, no, I think I'm legendarybattle rail.
I think it's the other wayaround.
Okay, battle Royale, I'mlegendary.
Multiplayer, I'm getting rankedanyways.
Okay, wow.
So I've been playing that a lot.
Well, that's great.
I have been looking into Call ofDuty as the next one to just
(27:52):
sort of get used to thefirst-person shooter.
Yeah, because Last of Us isthird-person.
But see, I don't mind it ifit's not a first-person, if it's
not a shooter Like I mean thatone's more like the Tomb Raider
game.
Yeah, there's some adventureaspect to it.
(28:12):
You're not battling all of thetime, right, right, you're not
battling all the time.
But I do better with the thirdperson because I understand
where I'm trying to look.
It gives me more depth, I don'tknow, maybe more me, more depth
, I don't know, maybe moreperipheral vision, I don't know.
(28:33):
Battlefront, no, no, no, Ihaven't there's battlefront.
I wish they would makebattlefield 1942, oh, yeah, oh,
the battle way back in the day,oh yeah, that was on.
That was like uh, that was onpc though.
Oh, there's tons of them.
Yeah, it's on PC.
Xbox yeah, but I played on thePC.
Yeah, that was a good game.
(28:54):
I'd love to find something likethat again.
Yeah, maybe I should get one ofthe Battlefields.
You should probably buy an Xbox, maybe get two and then get the
Backbone two of them so thatyou can play.
Play them anywhere.
Yeah, yeah, and you can play.
Play them anywhere.
Yeah, yeah, well, maybe I woulddo that if I didn't have, like,
two PS5s.
No, I think it's totally.
(29:14):
Oh, it's totally differentcompanies.
Yeah, so they're not going tocare.
No, no, yeah, but I will care.
No, I think the chickens wouldlove to.
My bank account will care.
Your bank account don't careabout nothing.
Your bank account don't careabout nothing.
Your bank account hasn't caredsince 1979.
The year I was born Is that whenyou were born?
(29:35):
Yeah, oh, wow, that's a goodguess.
That's really good.
You're six years older than me.
Oh, I'm going to be 40 thisyear.
We're saying a lot of things.
Thanks, video games man.
I feel like I have so much totalk about.
Yeah, the kids um, video gamesman, I feel like I have so much
to talk about.
Yeah, the kids like stella andindy.
(29:55):
So stella, our 10 year old, andthen indy, the seven year old
boy uh, he is.
They're really into it.
He's into the minecraft.
She does like the leg.
I love the lego games.
You've ever played those?
Yeah, those are fun.
Well, I don't know nindago.
I never got into nindjago.
We played the nindjago game.
That was fun.
Is that fun?
Yeah, lego star wars that'scool.
(30:16):
Lego marvel superheroes that'sa cool one.
Yeah, man, so much we could sayabout video games.
Well, so much you could say.
I'm new to it and it's ruiningyour life.
Though I have no idea how longthis is gonna last.
Yeah, what are you gonna do?
Do?
I'm not sure.
But what's neat is I work for asoftware development company
now and they have two Xboxes onsite at the office, but you work
(30:42):
remote.
That's why, correct, I workremote, which means you can play
remote.
There's essentially three,which is why I need another Xbox
In the remote office.
There's actually six more.
There's actually.
Yeah, there's actually a lotmore.
That's so funny.
Yeah, so it's part of theculture, I guess.
In some way, I guess, maybe, Idon't know, maybe it's part of
(31:04):
the culture, so I don't know.
I'm having fun trying to figureit out.
How's it going, though?
Usually like it's going well.
Yeah, it's going well.
I'm a few days in, so it's, youknow, it's new.
When did you actually?
Was it Monday?
Mm-hmm, this week it was likeyesterday.
Wow, like your first full-timeday.
Yeah, full-time day, becauseMonday and Tuesday, that's two
(31:34):
days.
It's Tuesday today.
For all of you keeping track ofthis at home, it's Tuesday.
Hey, some guy's like what dayis it?
And we're like we just helpedhim out, unless it's Thursday
when they listen to it andthey're screwed, everything's
passed.
So I guess we're not going tokeep these evergreen anymore.
But anyway, I'm a couple daysin, okay, and it's going well.
Good, there's a lot to learnabout the industry, about the
(31:59):
business that I'm gettinginvolved in, but, yeah, just
sort of hitting the ground,running, hit it running, hitting
it running.
You can walk, you can hit theground walking.
I mean, you got to walk beforeyou run.
Slow and steady wins the race.
Uh, it's absolutely not amarathon.
Wait, no, wait, it is amarathon, it is not a sprint,
(32:20):
right?
Nobody wants to even do amarathon.
I yeah, I don't understand itlike I don't.
I don't want to sprint either,though I don't.
I just kind of want to sit here.
Yeah, I don't want to run,unless somebody's chasing me.
You know, what I would love todo is play video games right now
.
That would be great.
Let's go play video games.
Well, I'm just gonna go homethen.
Okay, because you don't have myvideo game here.
(32:45):
That's true, you could havebrought it.
I could have brought it and Iwould have done your thing where
you kick off your kid.
Yeah, that's true.
No, I would have brought it.
I could have brought it and Iwould have been able to play.
You could have done your thingwhere you kick off your kid.
Yeah, that's true.
No, I would have just played iton the subway and just streamed
it.
I'm taking it over.
I would have just streamed it.
They're all in bed.
I would have been fine.
That's true, Amy's, like, I'mgoing to play.
(33:09):
There's no ladies listening tothis.
If there were, why?
Why don't you play video games?
That's the deal.
There are some ladies, there'stons of people that play video
game.
Lots of ladies, tons and tons,that do much better than me on
tiktok when they stream videogame.
Play, yeah, call of duty though.
Um, love it should, I should.
I get one.
Yeah, and you can do call ofduty mobile, which, which is,
you can use a controller.
I bluetooth, bluetooth mycontroller, yeah, and then I
(33:30):
kick butt, okay, but I mean,you're playing with people that
have controllers too.
But yeah, call of Duty iscalled Call of Duty.
The Battle Royale thing iscalled Call of Duty, warzone.
That's free.
Okay, got it, you can just playthat, okay.
Of course, you know, oh, oh,you can buy mods and you can buy
(33:51):
skins and yeah, no, thanks, Ihate that.
That's the model nowadays.
But yeah, there's a cool game Idon't know if it's on ps, but,
um, indiana jones.
You know, I was gonna, I wasthinking about it's awesome.
Yeah, that would be fun, it'sawesome.
I really, I like, I like theones that have missions.
I don't really want tonecessarily do just like a third
(34:11):
person shooter or first personshooter where we're just killing
each other.
It's like I would like to getinto something that has like
missions and some objectives.
It's like detective meetsarchaeologist.
Yeah, it's first personshooting.
All right, I'm gonna buy, I'mgonna go find this.
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
Okay, yeah, I might do it rightnow.
You should do it right now,okay, okay, I'm gonna do it.
Okay, go do it.
(34:31):
Don't, don't, don't think Iwon't.
Thanks, why are you doing thestar wars theme.
Oh my gosh, all right, has itopened up?
Final, final thought it'ssweeter, it's.
Yeah, there's some caramel andsome raisins.
Here's what I'll say.
(34:55):
It doesn't get the full stampof approval, right?
Uh, for me one and half.
For me, it doesn't get the fullone.
I don't even want to put thehalf one on.
Yeah, um, I will say that it'snot a bad drink.
It's it not bad?
There's probably some peoplethat would really thoroughly
enjoy it.
I don't.
I'm not disappointed that Ihave it, yeah, but I probably
(35:17):
wouldn't be quick to replace it.
Well, it's also everywhere itis.
It is.
To me, it's the aftertaste.
I like it coming in, I like itgoing down.
Everybody loves that.
You know when it goes andtastes good and gosh.
(35:38):
I think I made it worse byreacting to my own joke.
We were going to be fine, itwas going to be fine.
Nobody listens at this pointanyways.
Right, do they listen?
Somebody's listening.
Wow, it may just be one of uslater.
Listens at this point, anyways.
Right, do they listen?
Somebody's listening.
Wow, it may just be one of us,it's just me.
I'm laughing.
Right now I'm working out inthe gym.
Listen, it is laughing, but no,it's that aftertaste yeah,
(36:00):
that's that's what I think is iskind of, eh, you know it's like
it's not as pleasant.
Yeah, it's just not as pleasant.
Yeah, the beginning is good.
Yeah, you know it's like asequel.
You know the beginning wasreally good and you're like,
yeah, sure, didn't like the wayit ended.
Yeah, I just think that I thinkwhere I would put this one is if
you have $42 to spend there.
(36:20):
Yeah, like would you make anold-fashioned?
There's almost no whiskey inthis price range that I wouldn't
use as a mixer.
Is that right?
I don't know, does that makesense?
(36:41):
You would use whiskey as amixer?
I mean, no, I wouldn't use anyin that price range.
What I'm saying is like Buffalotrace, oh, 100% mixer.
Yeah, but I would also drinkthat neat Cause that's really
good, cause this is really, um,this one is primarily a mixer.
Okay, that's what I would.
(37:01):
Yeah, that's what the you tellthe utility of it would be.
For that price.
I would much rather buysomething way cheaper and way
better, way more versatile, yeah, okay, if you'd like to know
what, go check out old granddad.
His address is go check out oldgranddad.
(37:25):
Bald and bod.
We have a.
We have that episode.
Go listen to that one If you'reinterested, or just go buy the
bottle and just go buy it andthen listen to it as you're
drinking it.
It's like this ethereal.
You'll never believe whoreached out to us.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

disgusting.
How do they do that?
I mean, it's an explosion Likeyou're shooting, oh really, and
it's like it's taking a needleand like you don't clean those
things enough to get otherpeople's like stuff off.
So like there's just likerotting flesh on there, oh yeah.
(41:04):
And so like you just probablygot infected from someone else's
lobe flesh.
You've got to watch out for thelobe flesh.
There's that lobe flesh diseasethat's rampant out there right
now with all those players.
This is not endorsed.
Nor do we have any proof orknowledge of any player's lobe
flesh disease.
That may or may not be presentto me.
Oh, I'm pretty sure it's welldone.

Oh, yeah, for sure it's outthere.
There's a documentary on it.
I think it's well done.
Oh, yeah, for sure, it's outthere.

Batch number 20 h is in hotel1956.
Sounds like a good batch to me.
20, hotel 1956.
(02:09):
I like the label.
I like the bottle.
Presentation's really nice.
It's a wood, top cork.
I really like their bottles,their labels, the bottles.
I like it all.
Yeah, it's got the old potstill on there.
Pre-revolutionary war qualityStandard dating to 1753.
What this guy right here is a91 proof.
Hold on a second.
It's Pre-Revolutionary War.
(02:31):
Well, yeah, see, theRevolutionary War happened in
During the Revolution 1776.
That's when we became a country.
Correct, that was theRevolutionary War, right?
So this one was established1753, which would be about 20,
holy cow, or so years.
(02:52):
It's really that old.
Well, I mean, this bottle'sfrom Just a couple years ago.
Well then, can you imagine howwell that would taste if you did
a joke?
I think I did a joke, I don'tknow it kind of was, but Cheers,
cheers.
That would taste if you dadjoke.
I think I need to judge.
I don't know, it kind of was,but cheers, cheers to the mix.
Our second episode of the newyear, third.
Okay, all right, so you getinto the year.
(03:16):
Oh, it is season two.
I guess, I don't know, wereally haven't decided.
I mean, we're calling it seasontwo.
Oh, it haven't whatever.
I mean, we're calling it seasontwo.
Oh, it is very welcome seasontwo.
Yeah, it is just very.
I don't want to use the wordpungent again.
Pungent.
I feel like I'm gonna use it,but I don't want to because
don't do it.
You said it's 91 proof.
It's, it's, it's 91.4, so it'snot as much, but it'd be
(03:42):
interesting to see if it holdsto that or if it tastes like a
higher proof.
I don't know, I just I.
There's just something about thearoma, the nose, it just it is
good, it gets me good, it getsme deep.
I mean it has a classic bourbonsmell to it.
(04:06):
Yeah, you know that kind ofwoodsy, oaky, yeah, but there's
like a sweetness behind it too.
Naturally it is bourbon, so weknow it's 51% corn at least Aged
in new oak barrels.
These are white oak barrels,charred barrels.
And where are these?
If that matters, these guys arebased out of Louisville,
(04:27):
kentucky.
Oh man, I like the color.
The color is kind of thecolor's nice, isn't it?
No age statement on this bottle, on the small batch, but yeah,
the color's nice.
It's almost like a really just.
It reminds me of the JurassicPark amber cane top that the guy
had with the mosquito in it.
(04:49):
I always wanted one of those.
Can you find one of those forme?
I'll work on it and then chiselit so it's nice and smooth and
then we can have it.
This is the microphone.
Let's make it's too bad.
This isn't like an archaeologypodcast, should we do?
Yeah, let's drink it.
(05:14):
A lot of corn off the front,right?
Yeah, not as complex as Ithought.
Are you getting some corn husk?
No, that's more in the afterdays.
No, that's more in the afterdays.
I was kind of expecting theflavor to be a little more
complex, similar to what I'mgetting from the nose, but I
(05:36):
need to try it again, probably.
Ooh, you're really Kentuckychewing that.
Oh, wow, that's like Kentuckygnaw right there.
Wow, it's like a Kentucky.
I just want to break it loose alittle bit.
Break it loose your teeth oryour gums or the Just, all of it
, all of it.
I want to break everythingloose.
It's everything in my mouth.
Just I want to.
Can I just get loose, get loose.
(05:57):
Oh, blah, blah, blah.
America.
I don't know, that was lastweek's episode, that was two
weeks ago.
Who knows.
This is like that time I took awinemaking class and forgot how
to drive.
It's like we're in a timevortex.
(06:19):
I think it's the future, butit's the past.
Weird In the past.
Future, but it's the past.
Weird in the past.
What are we talking?
Uh, price wise for this one.
This is the one that'savailable all the time, all the
time, yeah, all the time.
Relatively 35 bucks, yeah, 35,40, maybe, maybe into the 40s,
(06:40):
but um, it's really tasty.
It is for the price, for theprice point, and I mean you grab
one, put it on your shelf, putit on there.
I'm not, well, wait, I'm notgiving it the stamp of approval
yet, right?
Well, I'm holding off a littlebit.
It kind of feels like it's doneits thing and and I don't know
how much is left.
You know what I mean.
Yeah, like I don't know ifthere's going to be a Ooh, it's
(07:02):
opened up more.
Like I'm kind of like on the,on the, on the backend, like the
aftertaste kind of has a littlebit of a bitterness to it.
Agreed, almost like a coffeebitterness, not a coffee flavor,
but like the feeling on thetongue you get.
I couldn't agree more.
It's, it's.
Yeah, I, that's exactly what Iwas thinking was.
(07:25):
For me, it's the finish, it'sthe aftertaste that doesn't
quite hit, right, yeah, it kindof just stays.
Yeah, and maybe that's more ofthe ethanol kind of aftertaste,
like if it was just straightalcohol.
Yeah, well, you know how, likesometimes they taste a little
bit like banana peels.
Yes, yes, this isn't likebanana peels.
(07:45):
Yes, yes, this isn't quitebanana peels, but that's a
that's a byproduct of theethanol burning off.
Okay, um, yeah, that's thatbitter taste.
Yeah, I mean and I've eaten alot of banana peels surprisingly
, just go nuts with those things.
Well, it's a staple of my dietreally.
Yeah, oh, it's banana, lots offiber.
Yeah, I think what it was is.
(08:05):
They were like oh, you shouldtry banana pudding, but I
thought that the peel was a partof it and I just kept doing it.
No one's told me to stop, so I'mnot telling you to stop, that's
for sure.
Uh, somebody should tell me tostop something and start
something at the same time.
Stop starting stopping.
Stop stopping the things youstart.
(08:27):
Stop, start stopping, startstopping the things you start.
That means you stop, stop,start.
If you say start stopping thethings you've started, you suck
at it.
If you say stop, unless you'restopping the things you start,
you're a quitter.
Unless you're stopping, unlessyou're stopping, unless, like,
your job is stopping, oh yeah,then you want to stop, start
(08:48):
stopping, nope, at some point,start stopping, you're going to
step up.
You got to step up.
If you're going to startstopping, all I can see is the
step up movie poster.
Yeah, was it Jessica Alba?
I don't know.
Channing tatum, I don't know.
I don't know.
Step up, you better step off.
(09:09):
Oh wow, that was bring it on.
Oh, I already been, it'salready been brought it.
Yeah, I, like this was kirstendunst, just outside of my um age
group.
Like this was really popularwhen I was done watching movies,

Like that's yeah, who's in that?
Mckay pfeiffer?
I don't know, I feel like mckaypfeiffer's in that.
Sure it's an odd name, butlet's, let's just go with it.
Let's go with MacGyver.
Yeah, save the last dance.
Hopefully they save.
No, that's Julia Stiles.
(09:50):
Oh, yeah, she kind ofdisappeared for a while, yeah,
until Jason Bourne found her.
Yeah, and they were like, hey,hey, you should be Jason thing.
Oh, yeah, ten things I hateabout you.
Anyways, some caramel opening up.
I don't know if you've caughtsome caramel.
(10:11):
There's maybe a little moresweetness that's come with it.
It's not like I'm like, oh, Idon't.
You know black licorice too.
Really, I found a little bit ofblack licorice.
There Might be the blacklicorice you had right before it
, definitely not.
Black licorice is like olives tome.
(10:32):
It's the best way to ruinsomething.
Oh, I can't stand olives.
Yeah, those are fruits andvegetables.
Don't you like Fruits andvegetables?
Is an olive a fruit or avegetable?
Or is it a nut?
It comes from a bush?
No, it would be a fruit.
No, it comes from a tree, right, because it has a.
Doesn't it have a pit in it.
Yeah, it's got a pit, that'swhy they call it olive pit.
(10:54):
And then, is there Not olivenut, is there?
Well, yeah, but is that pit?
A good question, I don't know.
Or are we into, like the, theworld of legumes?
Oh, don't get me started onlegumes.
Is it legume or legume?
I'm gonna say legume, I'm gonnastick with this one.
It sounds french.
So you're just saying thisdoesn't get your stamp of
(11:17):
approval.
Yeah, so I, I'm just.
I will have to see what happensas it opens up a little more
open up.
You know, I bet you thisepisode we're really gonna open
up like it's gonna be.
I just feel like this episodeis gonna have so much energy.
It didn't start off strong, whatit's not?
(11:37):
It started off with me justgoing right into it, oh yeah.
So maybe it started off toostrong, but not not with enough
energy.
This episode started off howyour relationship with your wife
started off just way too strongand like, but also like, just
you're just like.
Hey, are you projecting?
(11:58):
That's not how it all, how itstarted, oh, I, I definitely was
way too strong, were you?
You, oh for sure.
I said I love you to Madison,four months in, I mean, but she
was a rebound.
Stop, we were married at likeeight months in, oh really, so I
guess we went pretty strong too, but we had a lot of
relationship before that.
Oh well, no, madison was arebound, really, totally Wow.
(12:23):

Hey, the rebound that stuck.
Huh, yeah, wow, more like arebound swish.

(12:45):
You break the glass glass.
Wow, oh, is that good or bad?
Um, I think that's good cool.
I think no, I think it's goodluck.
I think breaking glass, oh,yeah, like no, I don't know what
that was.
That was like a mix.
Sorry, jewish friends,everybody in my jewish side of
the family that was a mixbetween, and also something from
Street Fighter.
I'm pretty sure that was Ryufrom Street Fighter.
(13:08):
Speaking of oh, ryu, yes, youwere going to tell me something

Nope, oh, an actual appointment, yeah, like a real one, like a

doctor's appointment, oh.
And I was like, oh, we're gonnahave to, we're gonna have to

So then, yeah, so I didn't,didn't show up or I wasn't
communicating with you today, oh, sure, whatever.
And I was like man, I just I'vejust been losing track of time
(14:15):
over and over again.
I don't know if it has anythingto do with video games or not,
but I started playing a videogame.
Phil Stokes, what's your middlename?
No, I don't Start playing avideo game.
Phil Stokes, what's your middlename?
No, I wanted to reprimand youusing your middle name, philip
Stokes.
It wouldn't have mattered.

Those are the only two middlenames I have.
I like it.
(14:36):
I like Fredrickson.
I'm pretty sure that's a lastname.
Pfs, or is it FFS, I don't know.
It depends how you say Phil,phil, my glass, jesus.
Just just, why don't you takethe dad joke home?
You don't know what FFS standsfor, okay, anyway.
Well, now I want to look it up.
Hold on, let me get on my phone.
(14:57):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,no.
Not a good idea.
So, yeah, I'll take it off myphone.
I started playing.
You play video games.
My brother-in-law has a PS5 anda PlayStation Portal.
Have you seen this?
I don't know what a PlayStationPortal is.
I'm an Xbox guy and I have aSwitch.
All right, imagine, the Switchis a perfect example.
Okay, okay, this is aPlayStation Switch.
(15:19):
Oh, it has a screen in themiddle.
Okay, it has a screen in themiddle, it's a big one, it's a
big screen.
Oh, it's a big screen In themiddle.
Oh, and you can stream fromyour PS5 at home, right, your
games on the portal, like in adifferent location though.
Yeah, see, that's cool, like Ican be in, I don't know.
Say Minnesota, oh, okay,minnesota and my PS5 can be at,
(15:43):
say, can somebody else play onthe PS5 while you're playing?
No Right, they haven't figuredthat out yet.
Not exactly.
This is Backbone.
Have you heard of the Backbonecontroller?
Yeah, yeah, you knew I boughtone and then I realized, oh, it
(16:04):
has to.
That one is a step below theportal, the Backbone.
You can't be away, I don't'tthink, from your house, which
what's the point?
I don't understand it.
I was like, oh, it's acontroller.
I can tell you what the pointis.
If I don't want to godownstairs and I want to be
ultra lazy and just play from mybed, I can't.
(16:24):
That's cool, that is kind ofcool.
But it also has a streamingfeature.
So playstation has all of thesegames that they stream.
Yeah, yeah, and so you can.
Anything that's in there withthe streaming library you have
access to, regardless of whetheror not that PlayStation's on in
use.
Oh, so you can play games inthe streaming thing, even if
yours isn't on, because is it?
(16:45):
Or if somebody else has hadhome playing it, or somebody
else is connected to it to thesame PS five through another
portal.
So your it or somebody else isconnected to it to the same ps5
through another portal, so your,I can still play games.
Is it like disc?
That's really cool.
I'm gonna have to look it up.
No, it's, it's all streamed.
That's all streamed on the.
Yeah, and like it saves yourplace, yeah, so one of the
streaming games is last of us.
(17:07):
Oh, part one.
Oh, I've never it, but that'sbecause it's PlayStation.
I put yeah, I played when, whenwhen I first got a PlayStation
four, I played it for severalhours, several hours a day, and
then I I got I don't know.
I don't want to.
I don't want to say like I gotbored with it, but like I just
ran out of time for it, like itjust wasn't a thing.
(17:29):
Yeah, I go through phases ofvideo games where I'm like
really into one and you're goingto find out, but I'm really
into one, and then I go crazywith it, yeah, and then I like
kind of never play it for like ayear and then I go back to it
again.
Yeah, that might be what I endup doing, like Minecraft, but
because I can stream this thingand play from wherever whenever
(17:50):
I want, that is a problem, canbe a problem.
Could be a problem, could be.
So he had this thing and I waslike, man, we should probably
get one of those.
This is your brother, this ismy brother-in-law, yeah, and I
was like the guy you're workingfor now, hold on a second, I
(18:11):
just want to paint a picturehere.
So you got the job.
Hold on a second, I just wantto paint a picture here.
So you got the job.
The guy you're working for hasnow given you the idea Wow, that
is awesome.
It's his fault.
Do you want to know whathappened?
No, yes.
(18:34):
So we were traveling and decidedwe should get one of these with
the portal, and my oldest sonis big into video games.
He's like oh, that'd be awesome.
Yeah, of course, they're allgoing to love it.
He's like could I buy one formyself?
I was like yeah, yeah, you'vegot the money saved up.
Sure, let's do it.
So I went and bought two ofthem.
I don't have the money saved up, let's do it.
(18:56):
So I went and bought two ofthem.
I don't have the money saved up, phil, but could you buy one
for myself?
No, but I so, spider-man, yougotta play spider-man.
He's playing spider-man.
Oh, it's one of the streaminggames.
You can play it wherever.
And he's he's into the, thenewest one, the it's, it's the
miles morales one.
Yeah, I've never played it.
I'm so jealous.
Yeah, all the kids are playingit now.
Um, because they like yeah,because they'll grab the
(19:17):
playstation portal and they'lljust like, yeah, log in and play
it.
Did you bring it here?
It's great?
No, so.
So then, um, you know, if yougot two portals, were you
playing last of us as I textedyou?
No, no, I was in the car.
Oh, no, that would have beenfunny.
No, I was in the car.
Oh, no, no, no, that would havebeen funny.
No, no, I was in the car.
I was like, oh, shoot, it's 845.
I should probably get upstairsand take a shower and stuff.
(19:40):
And then, 10 minutes later,were you playing Last of Us in
the shower.
Can you bring it in the shower?
No, it's not waterproof.
Okay, look what I was playing.
Sorry, stop what I was playing.
Like, so I was playing RainbowSix.
Oh, yeah, I thought you saidyou were playing Last of Us.
I mean, that's one of the gamesI have, but it turns out I can
(20:02):
also play Rainbow Six, but Ifeel like not.
Four months ago we've chattedabout video games and you're
like I don't play video games?
No, no desire, no desire, wow,yeah.
So your life is ruined.
It doesn't make sense to havetwo PlayStation portals why not?
And only one PS5.
Oh no, did you buy another PS5?
(20:25):
So now?
So, now there's two.
We have two PS5s.
Come on, there's two.
We have two ps5s, there's twops4s, two ps5s, two playstation
portals, and I think we've got awii somewhere.
We just bought it just to like,lose it.
(20:47):
We bought the wii just so thatwe would have something where
we're like, we got it somewhere.
We don't know where it is, it'slike in the chicken coop.
There's probably two or threeof them, probably In the chicken
coop.
The chickens like to playBecause they're so cheap.
You could just go buy them atGameStop for like 20 bucks.
My dad won.
They're basically disposable.
I know, yeah, that's insane,yeah, yeah.
(21:14):
So we bought the ps5 while wewere traveling, so that we had
something to do while we weretraveling.
Oh my gosh, so so wait.
So now, technically, couldn'tfour people play at the same
time?
Yeah, not off the same ps5, butlike like one person has one
ps5, another person has theother, and then you guys do the
portal.
As long as it's not a game.
That's as long as it's not agame.
That's as long as it's notlogged in to another user.
(21:34):
No, it can't even be.
You can't even be on it.
Okay, I don't even think youcan be on it.
I have to check.
I have to check.
See that to me.
Because I have to check,because the reason we got the
second one Some nerd right nowis getting really upset about
our episode.
(21:58):
He's like, clearly it states inthe instructions you can't,
sorry, go ahead.
Okay, first of all, if there'sa person that actually knows,
because I went through, ifthere's a person that talks like
that, first of all.
Yeah, that's true, that, maybethat's true.
You know, get some speech.
There are no clear instructionson how this thing works.
There's no clear instructionson how this thing works.
It took a very, very long timejust to get like keon set up
yeah, because he was a child onon our account and like, yeah,
then you're not allowed to dohardly anything on the portal,
(22:20):
and I'm like that's a waste andso like we just made him a new
account where he's 21 orwhatever and like you can just
do whatever you want.
They grow up so fast.
They grow up so quick, so fast,so quick, but, um, but yeah,
anyway.
So, like, so, I don't know, butlike, my thought is, if I'm at
home or I'm not at home sorry ifI'm not at home I've got the
two ps5s.
There's no way they're bothgoing to be in use at the same
(22:43):
time.
Most of the time, most of thetime, you have three boys,
correct, correct, you know howmany.
My point is, my point is I cancall them and say, yeah, hey,
get off my playstation.
Actually, the portal comes outand says, um, hey, phil is
logged in and is taking controlof this.
Oh, and I can shut them off.
Yeah, that's awesome.
(23:04):
Yeah, can they retake control?
Um, maybe that'd be funny, it'smaybe all day.
You're just like, you know,maybe control and losing control
, maybe, but either way, I'mlike oh, this thing is, this is
fun.
Oh, my gosh, yeah, so I'mplaying video games.
Are you going to let me play?
Sure, I think cross-platformneeds to happen more.
(23:25):
I'm tired of like games that Ican't play.
Well, like I realized sony ownsspider-man, but like, come on,
share it with microsoft so I canplay it.
Oh, they did, they did thatwith me.
Uh, mlb the show do you want todo you want a ps4?
Yeah, because I have a bunch ofthem.
How many do you got five ofthem?
No, just two.
But ps4s are old, right, yeah,but they're not bad that old.
(23:49):
No, old, no, they're stillmaking.
Well, you can still buy gamesfor the PS4.
For PS4?
Yeah, so it's like all the newgames that are coming out right
now on the PlayStation platformare PS4 and PS5.
Oh, when did the 5 come out?
Two years ago, okay, threeyears ago.
Yeah, I have the Xbox Series X,which is very confusing.
(24:10):
It was like Xbox One and thenit was like Xbox One Series X.
I was like, why don't you callit like Xbox Series Z or
something Like why X?
It's confusing.
Yeah, I don't know.
Is it Twitter?
Like, what is this?
Yeah, right, like, does ElonMusk own it?
(24:31):
Does it just blow up?
Yeah, you launch it into spaceand it explodes.
I'm sure he'll figure it out.
Good luck, elon, with therockets.
Good luck with the rockets, Idon't know.
Have fun blowing your ships up.
I just feel like he needed anencouragement there.
He's listening.
(24:51):
He is Everyone's listening.
They are all listening.
Uh, the games I'm into.
Yeah, I was playing before youcame when I texted you actually.
Yeah, uh, so the news.
So I really got into zelda.
Oh, I never played it when Iwas a kid, yeah, but there's a
bunch of different ones.
So there's like Breath of theWild.
(25:12):
Then there's Tears of theKingdom.
Those are like it's allNintendo Switch, but they're
like, oh, he looks more like aproportioned human being.
It's open world and all that.
Then there was Link's Awakening,which is more of like the top
down kind of one yeah, like morelike the old school one, the
original one.
Yeah, like more like the oldschool one, the original.
(25:33):
Yeah, yeah.
And then this new one I don'teven remember what it's called.
No, it's basically, instead ofplaying as Link, you're playing
as Zelda trying to save Link.
Interesting, yeah.
And so I got that for Christmas,okay, and I've been playing
that.
That's all on the Switch.
It's awesome, yeah, yeah, okay,I love it.
(26:00):
It's awesome.
Yeah, I have that.
But then also call of dutymobile, okay, which I think I've
given up on streaming that.
On tiktok, I'm over it.
Good, I'm over it.
It's stupid.
I'm done with it, like I'm donewith the, the gaming portion of
that there.
It's just, it's like I don'tknow if I'm shadow banned or
whatever they call it, like theyjust won't push you out, okay,
but I'm like it's just a wasteof my time to stream.
I'm like why am I even doingthis?
(26:20):
I'll still play it, but I gotto legendary legend.
Wait for it, dairy, therethere's.
There's multiplayer, which islike you're on teams and you're
doing like team death match,where you're like going, you
know, 10 versus 10 or somethinglike that.
Then there's battle royale,which is similar to fortnite,
which I suck at fortnite,because fortnite does not do and
(26:44):
I it bugs me so much justrelease the option to do first
person.
It's third, it's this thirdperson stuff.
I'm like I don't care what mycharacter looks like Like, I
want to be able to actually likeget somebody in the game.
So I cannot do the third personview.
It just does not Interesting,it doesn't work for me, it
(27:06):
throws me off.
But in in a call of duty,battle Royale is like you're in
this open world and the zone isshrinking and so it's last man
standing kind of thing.
You can be on a team byyourself or you can be on with
four people or two people orthree.
But I got up to in multiplayerthe team deathmatch stuff.
(27:30):
I'm legendary status, which isthe highest, and then in battle
Royale, I'm like a couple belowthat.
Okay, no, I think I'm legendarybattle rail.
I think it's the other wayaround.
Okay, battle Royale, I'mlegendary.
Multiplayer, I'm getting rankedanyways.
Okay, wow.
So I've been playing that a lot.
Well, that's great.
I have been looking into Call ofDuty as the next one to just
(27:52):
sort of get used to thefirst-person shooter.
Yeah, because Last of Us isthird-person.
But see, I don't mind it ifit's not a first-person, if it's
not a shooter Like I mean thatone's more like the Tomb Raider
game.
Yeah, there's some adventureaspect to it.
(28:12):
You're not battling all of thetime, right, right, you're not
battling all the time.
But I do better with the thirdperson because I understand
where I'm trying to look.
It gives me more depth, I don'tknow, maybe more me, more depth
, I don't know, maybe moreperipheral vision, I don't know.
(28:33):
Battlefront, no, no, no, Ihaven't there's battlefront.
I wish they would makebattlefield 1942, oh, yeah, oh,
the battle way back in the day,oh yeah, that was on.
That was like uh, that was onpc though.
Oh, there's tons of them.
Yeah, it's on PC.
Xbox yeah, but I played on thePC.
Yeah, that was a good game.
(28:54):
I'd love to find something likethat again.
Yeah, maybe I should get one ofthe Battlefields.
You should probably buy an Xbox, maybe get two and then get the
Backbone two of them so thatyou can play.
Play them anywhere.
Yeah, yeah, and you can play.
Play them anywhere.
Yeah, yeah, well, maybe I woulddo that if I didn't have, like,
two PS5s.
No, I think it's totally.
(29:14):
Oh, it's totally differentcompanies.
Yeah, so they're not going tocare.
No, no, yeah, but I will care.
No, I think the chickens wouldlove to.
My bank account will care.
Your bank account don't careabout nothing.
Your bank account don't careabout nothing.
Your bank account hasn't caredsince 1979.
The year I was born Is that whenyou were born?
(29:35):
Yeah, oh, wow, that's a goodguess.
That's really good.
You're six years older than me.
Oh, I'm going to be 40 thisyear.
We're saying a lot of things.
Thanks, video games man.
I feel like I have so much totalk about.
Yeah, the kids um, video gamesman, I feel like I have so much

Yeah, lego star wars that'scool.
(30:16):
Lego marvel superheroes that'sa cool one.
Yeah, man, so much we could sayabout video games.
Well, so much you could say.
I'm new to it and it's ruiningyour life.
Though I have no idea how longthis is gonna last.
Yeah, what are you gonna do?
Do?
I'm not sure.
But what's neat is I work for asoftware development company
now and they have two Xboxes onsite at the office, but you work

Usually like it's going well.

So I guess we're not going tokeep these evergreen anymore.
But anyway, I'm a couple daysin, okay, and it's going well.
Good, there's a lot to learnabout the industry, about the
(31:59):
business that I'm gettinginvolved in, but, yeah, just
sort of hitting the ground,running, hit it running, hitting
it running.
You can walk, you can hit theground walking.
I mean, you got to walk beforeyou run.
Slow and steady wins the race.
Uh, it's absolutely not amarathon.
Wait, no, wait, it is amarathon, it is not a sprint,
(32:20):
right?
Nobody wants to even do amarathon.
I yeah, I don't understand itlike I don't.
I don't want to sprint either,though I don't.
I just kind of want to sit here.
Yeah, I don't want to run,unless somebody's chasing me.
You know, what I would love todo is play video games right now
.
That would be great.
Let's go play video games.
Well, I'm just gonna go homethen.
Okay, because you don't have myvideo game here.

I could have brought it and Iwould have done your thing where
you kick off your kid.
Yeah, that's true.
No, I would have brought it.
I could have brought it and Iwould have been able to play.
You could have done your thingwhere you kick off your kid.
Yeah, that's true.
No, I would have just played iton the subway and just streamed
it.
I'm taking it over.
I would have just streamed it.
They're all in bed.
I would have been fine.
That's true, Amy's, like, I'mgoing to play.
(33:09):
There's no ladies listening tothis.
If there were, why?
Why don't you play video games?
That's the deal.
There are some ladies, there'stons of people that play video
game.
Lots of ladies, tons and tons,that do much better than me on
tiktok when they stream videogame.
Play, yeah, call of duty though.
Um, love it should, I should.
I get one.
Yeah, and you can do call ofduty mobile, which, which is,
you can use a controller.
I bluetooth, bluetooth mycontroller, yeah, and then I
(33:30):
kick butt, okay, but I mean,you're playing with people that
have controllers too.
But yeah, call of Duty iscalled Call of Duty.
The Battle Royale thing iscalled Call of Duty, warzone.
That's free.
Okay, got it, you can just playthat, okay.
Of course, you know, oh, oh,you can buy mods and you can buy
(33:51):
skins and yeah, no, thanks, Ihate that.
That's the model nowadays.
But yeah, there's a cool game Idon't know if it's on ps, but,
um, indiana jones.
You know, I was gonna, I wasthinking about it's awesome.
Yeah, that would be fun, it'sawesome.
I really, I like, I like theones that have missions.
I don't really want tonecessarily do just like a third
(34:11):
person shooter or first personshooter where we're just killing
each other.
It's like I would like to getinto something that has like
missions and some objectives.
It's like detective meetsarchaeologist.
Yeah, it's first personshooting.
All right, I'm gonna buy, I'mgonna go find this.
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
Okay, yeah, I might do it rightnow.
You should do it right now,okay, okay, I'm gonna do it.
Okay, go do it.
(34:31):
Don't, don't, don't think Iwon't.
Thanks, why are you doing thestar wars theme.
Oh my gosh, all right, has itopened up?
Final, final thought it'ssweeter, it's.
Yeah, there's some caramel andsome raisins.
Here's what I'll say.
(34:55):
It doesn't get the full stampof approval, right?
Uh, for me one and half.
For me, it doesn't get the fullone.
I don't even want to put thehalf one on.
Yeah, um, I will say that it'snot a bad drink.
It's it not bad?
There's probably some peoplethat would really thoroughly
enjoy it.
I don't.
I'm not disappointed that Ihave it, yeah, but I probably
(35:17):
wouldn't be quick to replace it.
Well, it's also everywhere itis.
It is.
To me, it's the aftertaste.
I like it coming in, I like itgoing down.
Everybody loves that.
You know when it goes andtastes good and gosh.
(35:38):
I think I made it worse byreacting to my own joke.
We were going to be fine, itwas going to be fine.
Nobody listens at this pointanyways.
Right, do they listen?
Somebody's listening.
Wow, it may just be one of uslater.
Listens at this point, anyways.
Right, do they listen?
Somebody's listening.
Wow, it may just be one of us,it's just me.
I'm laughing.
Right now I'm working out inthe gym.
Listen, it is laughing, but no,it's that aftertaste yeah,
(36:00):
that's that's what I think is iskind of, eh, you know it's like
it's not as pleasant.
Yeah, it's just not as pleasant.
Yeah, the beginning is good.
Yeah, you know it's like asequel.
You know the beginning wasreally good and you're like,
yeah, sure, didn't like the wayit ended.
Yeah, I just think that I thinkwhere I would put this one is if
you have $42 to spend there.
(36:20):
Yeah, like would you make anold-fashioned?
There's almost no whiskey inthis price range that I wouldn't
use as a mixer.
Is that right?
I don't know, does that makesense?
(36:41):
You would use whiskey as amixer?
I mean, no, I wouldn't use anyin that price range.
What I'm saying is like Buffalotrace, oh, 100% mixer.
Yeah, but I would also drinkthat neat Cause that's really
good, cause this is really, um,this one is primarily a mixer.
Okay, that's what I would.
(37:01):
Yeah, that's what the you tellthe utility of it would be.
For that price.
I would much rather buysomething way cheaper and way
better, way more versatile, yeah, okay, if you'd like to know
what, go check out old granddad.
His address is go check out oldgranddad.
