Have you ever found yourself wearing socks inside out or rocking a "grout fit"? You're not alone! Join us for a laughter-filled episode of Whiskey Bits With Matt and Phil, where we kick things off with some lighthearted banter about our questionable fashion choices and the whimsical world of whiskey. From puzzling over movie references to chuckling about the slim odds of ever having Steve Carell grace our show, we've got humor on tap. And speaking of taps, our journey takes a flavorful turn as we explore the distinctive taste of Wheel Horse 101 proof cigar blend whiskey, thanks to a recommendation by the charming Chris Cool.
In between the chuckles, we clear up some common misconceptions about mouth-to-mouth resuscitation – spoiler: it's carbon dioxide we exhale, not carbon monoxide! Our conversation playfully considers how whiskey might affect CPR skills, while also sharing tips on building relationships with local store experts, ensuring you get the best bang for your buck, whether it's whiskey, fish, or fine meats. This mix of practical advice and humor ensures an engaging experience from start to finish.
As the whiskey flows, so does our banter about political musings and taste debates. Imagine a "Whiskey Bits of America" presidency! We poke fun at political roles while sharing our enjoyment of Green River whiskey. The episode wraps up with a spirited debate on the flavors of caramel and black licorice in whiskey, and a whimsical exploration into the classification of olives. Are they fruit, vegetable, or something else entirely? Tune in for a delightful blend of laughter, whiskey insights, and playful musings that promise to entertain and enlighten.

okay, some of the other cigar-yones that we've done, yeah, did
we do that one on an episode,starlight?
Did we do Cigar Batch as anepisode?
No, I don't think so.
We gotta do that, but that'snot.
We're about to.

71.

four years and new charred oakbarrels.
Nice, this limited editioncigar bun was, was finished in a
combination of the port cognac,uh, sherry and armx casks, then
married together and bottledwithout chill filtration.
Okay, so 101, proof 101.
I'm really glad they didn'tfinish it in cigar boxes or used
(04:18):
cigar butts.
So have we done any of the GreenRiver on the podcast yet?
The Green Soda Pop.
So have we done any of theGreen River on the podcast yet?

No, you didn't.
Look, I'm going to replay itback.

It's green river.
This comes from the green river.
You know what else is by rivers?
Chickens.
You know what chickens have?
Breasts.
Actually, chickens don't go byrivers.
Ducks do ducks and breasts.
(05:02):
Okay, it's hard being me.
It's exhausting.
Yeah, is it exhausting being meas it is listening to me?
It's, uh, or worse it's.
It's gotta be worse.
It's exhausting everything.
Everything, all of us thing ishow do we keep things on track?
(05:22):
How do we keep you from sayingtoo much?
How do we keep you from gettingarrested?
Oh, we haven't.
We've been doing really good onthat.
Yeah, so far, so good.
We'll see what happens withthis episode, because we're
about to get into some crazytopics cigar batch, okay.
(05:43):
Now.
Yeah, the um, is it a richness?
I feel like when you ever, yeah, the cognac and the sherry,
yeah, and some of those things,those are, um, I'm not as
familiar with the almanac.
I don't think that's a thing.
I mean, I think they just putsome words together.
It might be a typo.
You might want to look, mightlet them know.
I'm gonna let them know.
No, no, hey, uh, we don't knowwhat almanac is.
(06:05):
But, uh, and then the port,there's some port wine in there.
Yeah, so you get a lot of thoselike cherry, chocolate, um,
richness am I?
I might got you know, what Iforgot about is the dom nas.
We haven't talked about our domnas in a while.
Yeah, I'm so worried about myfreaking nevis that forgot about
talking about the Domino'sCherry.
(06:25):
I smell a lot of cherry.
Yeah, I smell a lot of cherry.
Yeah, I think it's this one.
It's my left, which is ironic.
That's your right.
Wait, do you ever do this toyour nose, like move it?
And then you're like, oh, I, oh, I feel like a a sharp pain
(06:49):
here that tells you that you gota booger.
Oh, yeah, of course, crusty b.
Yeah, right, yeah, there'snothing up there.
No, her name is cardi b.
Oh sorry, yeah, I was always.
Oh, I've been calling hercrusty b this whole time.
See I, steve carroll, carol,crusty b, crusty b.
We should ask these two peopleto be.
Please be on our show.
Crusty b and steve carroll.
Uh, some guy named stevecarroll's, like I heard you
wanted people to be on.
Please be on our show.
Krusty B and Steve Carroll.
(07:10):
Some guy named Steve Carroll'slike I heard you wanted me to be
on your show.
Krusty B's like hello, hey,come here.
Hey, do you have any cigarettesfor me?
I would love to be on your show.
Let me get on your show.
Krusty B Live.
Get out of here.
I don't know why we didn't makeit sound more like Krusty the
Clown, but here we are.
Maybe I was trying to be Krustythe Clown Kind of, did, were
you?
No, yeah, okay, so like a sweetcherriness, cherriness, yeah,
(07:32):
we're going to go with that.
I'm done.
I love it.
It's too good to keep drinking.
Really, it's really good tokeep drinking.
Really, it's really good.
But you said you're done.
Yeah, I'm going to let that onesit for a little bit.
Yeah, no, no, I'm done.
(07:52):
It's like it's too good, Ishouldn't be allowed to have it.
I think, well, that's saying alot.
I think I'm a little jaded.
I'm going to kind of like, kindof come at a different angle
here.
I think I'm a little jaded.
Tell me, tell me, why are youjaded?
Well, let me tell you, I'mjaded because we tried the other
(08:15):
cigar batch and it was verycigar-y.
So I feel like, if you're goingto say cigar batch, so I feel
like, if you're going to saycigar batch, what is it that
they're?
What is the expect expectation?
Let me try the wrong emphasison the wrong syllable.
What is the expectation whenyou say cigar batch?
(08:36):
See, that's all that happenedwith me when I said Steve Carell
that's true, it's just SteveCarell Carell, yeah, not Carell
Carell.
Well, I mean, what's theexpectation?
Like, to me, it's like itshould have I don't know.
Like I think this is horriblefor all you cigar people out
there.
Swisher, sweet, it's like gasstation cigar, but like at least
(08:57):
there's that.
Like, oh, this is a cigarversus a cigarette, right?
So like you get the sweetnessof the leaves and all that stuff
, and it was more the tobacco.
It was more of that, I think.
With the other one that wetried I'm not getting as much of
that, but maybe I don't know,maybe it's because we've barely
just gone past the neck.
(09:18):
Yeah, poor.
You know.
This is just going to have adifferent, it's going to have a
different feel than the otherone, cause it's it's comes from
a different place.
They're putting them intodifferent, you know different.
They're putting differentflavors, you know they're.
They're developing otherprofiles, flavor profiles, off
of that.
I guess I'm like how do theyget that flavor?
This one finished in for whatit is, this one?
(09:45):
The fact that they finish thesein all of these different types
of barrels and then blend themtogether is their definition or
their interpretation of what acigar batch should be.
I can't fault them for that atall.
No, I'm not saying it's like Ireally like it.
The other one to me was you knowhow, when you eat something
that's like really sweet andreally like tasty, but then you
(10:07):
have like just one bite too manyand it's like ugh, like it was
really good for like two orthree bites, and then it's like
I went through the fourth biteand it was like it's too much.
Yeah, but you can't be bitingyour whiskey, dude.
To me, well, you Kentucky chew.
First of all, you should knowthat that's true.
(10:28):
And then, second of all, to methis is more of a subtle cigar
batch, which I really.
I kind of like that I see whatyou're saying, because I can
drink this for longer withoutgetting like to the point where,
like, okay, that's just toomuch of this one flavor.
It's like the stouted whiskey.
You kind of have to be in themood to do it because it's so
(10:48):
pungent, right, it's so powerfulof a flavor, it's so distinct,
it's so, okay, this is theflavor.
Yeah, um, now, I didn't mind itwith some, with some of the
flavored stuff we did now,flavored, meaning soaked in the
fig.
Didn't mind it with that.
Yeah, um, maybe because it wasmore natural, I don't know.
But yeah, I think you're right.
I mean, I think it's like Ialmost want to see this and then
(11:11):
the other one, and then like,somewhere in the middle, yeah,
you know, maybe a little more ofthat kind of distinctness.
Yeah, um, but you can call.
If you didn't call it cigarbatch and you just called it
bourbon whiskey, I would havebeen like it's.
It is complex, like, as I'mthinking through like and
drinking it, as I'm thinkingthrough the different barrels
(11:33):
that it's been through, I dokind of get a little bit of that
sourness with from like thewine, right, like not sour wine
but like that sourness.
Yeah, no, I'm probably the, theleftover wine that's in in the
barrels that has fermented maybeeven more or whatever.
But yeah, I just I think youknow when I think of of what I
(11:53):
think of ports and cognac, forsure, not so much Sherry.
Sherry has more of a dry right,a dry field to me, but those
other two are very, very rich.
Breathe out your um, keep yourmouth closed.
Breathe out your nose almost,and kind of like you get this
like weird, like um fume flavor,almost like another layer of um
(12:17):
of like the wine almost yeah,that's how you do it.
Keep going, bill of like thewine, almost yeah, that's how
you do it.
Keep going Bill.
Yeah, bill lost his teeth.
No, I do know what you'resaying.
Like sending air through it orsomething is oxidating Carbon,
monoxizing it, carbonmonoxidating it.
(12:39):
That's what I don't get.
When people are doingmouth-to-mouth, we exhale carbon
, monoxideating it.
That's what I don't get.
When people are doing mouth tomouth, we exhale carbon monoxide
.
How is that helpful?
You, you're not supposed tobreathe carbon monoxide, you
know?
It's like like, look, if Iruled the world, okay then, then
I would change some things.
But go ahead, I'm no doctor.
(13:00):
How much oxygen is in theatmosphere, right?
So why don't they just breathe?
No, no, I'm asking you.
Do you know the number?
The percentage?
Seven, 21.
21% oxygen, yeah, in the air.
I feel like I can't breatheright now.
I feel like there should bemore.
I feel like there needs to bemore.
Do you know we need to havemore oxygen you breathe in.
(13:26):
Can we get some more oxygenplease?
I'm feeling stuffy.
You exhale oxygen as well, youdo, yeah, well, how is that
efficient from a human bodystandpoint?
You don't need all of the 21%.
How many percentage do I needof the 21%?
How many percentage do I need?
You breathe out.
Roughly 4 to 5% of what youexhale is oxygen, and that's
(13:51):
what they need.
But they're also getting carbonmonoxide Dioxide.
I never know what it is.
Is it carbon monoxide ordioxide?
Is it a mono, so CO2?
So it's dioxide.
Dioxide is CO2.
Carbon monoxide is the co1.
Yeah, it's just cold, just co.
Yeah, like a corporal, yeah,yeah, but carbon monoxide,
(14:13):
that's commanding officer, Idon't know.
Yeah, carbon monoxide is whatis, uh, is the bad one.
Carbon dioxide is what weexhale, breathe out.
Yeah, but you exhale and that'snot bad.
It's not great, but it's not.
But you, you exhale.
(14:35):
You know what else we'reexhaling right now Some ethanol.
I can tell you that we're goingto be exhaling.
You don't want to.
You want to get here.
Why does it matter?
You don't want to drink whiskeyand do mouth to mouth
immediately, because you'regonna be like here's some,
here's some CO2.
Here's some O2 and also someethanol.
So you're alive.
You're a little tipsy, however,sorry about that.
Yeah, but you're alive.
(14:56):
But you're alive, yeah, soyou're welcome.
They actually don't recommendthem out the mouth anymore, as
much Like it's it's.
They want you to just do chestcompressions because there's
enough oxygen in your blood tomove stuff around.
They only want you to do chestcompressions because they're
hoping some lady is going to befaint or something.
They're like eh, do chestcompressions, yeah, that'll help
(15:18):
her.
I don't even know, I'm not evensure how to help you at this
point, but then I thought in themiddle of that I was like, well
, wouldn't you want to domouth-to-mouth, but not if you
know.
Not if you know, they say youdon't want to stop the
compressions.
Oh, we're talking about savinga life, not going on a date,
right?
Okay, I hope so.
(15:39):
I'm just saying I had a lot ofdates that fainted.
So you know, he got it.
He just died.
Take, take what you can get,take what you can get, take what
you can get, take what you canget.
You know what I mean?
Everything you got.
All right, what are we talkingabout?
Wheelhorse or whatever?
I think, well, it's good, thisis wheelhorse, it's very good.
I would buy it again.
I'd buy it again.
I did buy it again.
(16:00):
Well, no, I bought it once youdid.
You bought it.
Did you buy this one?
No, you know what it was.
It was, but it was very cheap.
It was like 30, it was, andthat's, that's what we're going
for.
So, yeah, for a cigar batch,like see, this is where I, like
you know they always say, like,like chefs or whatever will say
(16:22):
befriend, go into your grocerystore, befriend the fish monger,
in other words, the person whoruns the fish counter, the
seafood counter.
Befriend them, because you willget good product from them.
Choice cuts, whatever.
Same thing with the butcher.
I would say same thing withyour whiskey what do you call
(16:43):
them?
I don't know your whiskeyconnoisseur.
Whiskey guy yeah, it doesn'tneed to be fancy, just the
whiskey guy and our whiskey guyat Garfield's gave us a good
pick and it was a great price.
Yeah, perfect price, perfectprice, perfect, and I think it's
good.
I mean perfect, but a bit free.
Green River has some reallygood stuff.
Yeah, we've got some weededstuff, so we'll definitely have
(17:04):
to check them out.
Yeah, as well.
But I'm a fan.
I'm a fan too.
I like it.
Yeah, I like it.
Well done Self.
Yeah, well done Garfields.
You know what I'm not really afan of?
Uh-oh.
What are you not a fan of?
Well, with the inaugurationright around the corner here, oh
(17:25):
, yeah, it's getting close.
I'm so excited.
Just under a week, I can't wait.
Uh, we'll have a, we'll have anew president.
Push it forward.
Office, let's just get it.
Let's get it.
Um, I, I am.
I'm so tired of politics, yeah,and politicians, yeah, so tired
of it.
I feel like we should run thecountry.
(17:45):
Whiskey bits of america,president.
Whiskey bits for president?
Who would be the president?
Who would be the vice?
We could trade off I.
I think we should put this to avote.
Put it to a vote.
Oh, let's do a poll.
You know what?
No, we're not doing a freakingpoll, because none of y'all
voted on the poll we already dida while ago.
(18:05):
I did a poll and of course, wegot two votes.
Though we did get two votes,was it?
It was me and me, because Ididn't vote.
You didn't even vote.
I don't remember doing a poll.
What was it about?
I don't even remember so longago.
I don't think you'd be a goodpolitician.
No, I wouldn't.
I think I could be president.
Do you think you could dopresident?
(18:26):
President, I don.
So I mean as a joke, as a ideal.
Sure, everybody thinks theycould be the president.
Here's the thing.
I don't think.
I don't think I would want tobe president, because it's not
enough power.
So, dictator, no, uh, I wouldrather be.
I'd rather be in in congress,oh, oh, I feel like senators and
(18:49):
congressmen have have morecongresswomen.
Congresspeople have more powerbecause they can actually do
things Well.
You have like the queen, forexample.
She didn't really have a lot of, she had nothing.
She had nothing.
She just was a figurehead.
She's dead.
She is dead.
Yeah, long live the queen untilshe died.
Nope, not long live the king.
I guess, I don't know, I don'tlive in the UK, but, however, no
(19:10):
, you don't.
No, but figurehead, right, theking is a complete figurehead
From the political standpoint.
It's a prime minister inEngland, it doesn't matter.
Okay, I don't think thepresident is a figurehead.
No, it's not to that point.
But I think a lot more getsdone in Congress, yeah, which I
(19:32):
think a lot more gets done inCongress, yeah, which I think a
lot more gets done in Congress.
I think a lot more is going toget done, if you know what I
mean, because we kind of got itall.
From my perspective, theRepublicans have, anytime you
have a complete one-sided yeah.
But that's the pendulum.
There's going to be some peoplethat are happy and some people
(19:53):
that aren't.
Look at how it was last time.
The pendulum was the other way.
They always.
Somebody said once it's like oh, yeah, it'll swing.
Really, it goes really far tothe right and it'll go really
far to the left, and then it'llgo back really far.
So it's, it's just the pendulum, nothing changes.
We just go through the cycleevery four years.
I'm looking forward to somesuper gas prices.
Hopefully it's every two yearsreally.
(20:15):
We go through these ebbs andflows every two years and people
aren't happy, and so then theyvote some other people in and
some other people out, andthings change and things bog
down, and then things justrepeat over and over and over
again.
And yet it's not funny.
Pritzker is still drivingaround on his freaking boat,
(20:39):
going over the speed limit inlake geneva how do you know that
?
And getting pulled over,because I know I know people
what and then during covid, mindyou, and then going.
You know who I am?
I'm like, yeah, we know who youare, because you're like 5 000
pounds and we can clearly seeyour giant yacht on lake geneva.
Oh my gosh, I don't have aproblem with pritzker at all.
(21:02):
No, um so, but like nothing.
My point is is nothing changesbecause we still have a governor
, whether you like him or not,like we still have this person
as a governor.
So I think the governor doesn'tdo much either.
Again, I would say that thelocal governments are the ones
that I think we should pay moreattention to, and that's where I
feel like I could make adifference.
Like the comptroller, you wantto get a good comptroller in
(21:25):
there.
I mean, if you've got a goodcomptroller, things are looking
up.
You need the comps trolled arelooking up, you need the comps
trolled, that's all I'm saying.
Yeah, like you can't have themuntrolled.
If you didn't, if you didn'thave some way of trolling the
comps, you'd be screwed right.
I mean, yeah, or comping thetrollers.
Do you ever see an uncomptroller?
(21:45):
Absolutely not.
It's always the comp trolling.
Are they?
Are they comping the trollersor are they?
That's a good question.
I didn't know, I, I don't know.
I would think it's the comp andthe trollers.
That's a good question.
I didn't know.
I don't know.
I would think it's the comp andthe trollers.
Okay, yeah, these are thethings.
I don't know that I would.
I'm not really even sure what acomptroller does.
I don't think they do anything.
(22:06):
I think they meant to saycontroller and somebody
misspelled it and they're like Iguess I'm a comptroller.
Now, I don't know, I thought Iwas going to be controlling
everything and now they're likeI don't have a position.
Yeah, yeah, um, no, I.
I think that there's some.
I think that there is some somevalue in, don't say there's,
there's no value.
(22:26):
There's got to be value in acomptroller.
I don't know, we're gonna findout.
We're gonna about a treasurer,the comments what do treasurers
do?
They guard the treasure.
They're like the guy thatguards the treasure chest In
every city, town.
Right, there's a treasure chest, right, and the treasurer is
the one that goes and finds thetreasure and puts it in the
trust.
Okay, chest trust, the trust.
(22:46):
No, they put it in trust.
It might be in a trust right,right, which has?
I don't even know.
This wheelhorse has gone in mybrain.
Look, the point is is there's alot of roles out there that
don't make any sense and nobodyknows what they do.
Well, there's the comp troll,that's true.
The comp roll, the companythat's what it is.
It's a comped roll.
(23:07):
Oh, it's a comptroller.
Oh, they're, oh, they'rerolling.
They're rolling comps.
I love it.
Oh, I'm all for that.
Yeah, comp, you go, comptroller, I'm sure you're doing
something real good for us.
Matt summerfield, forcomptroller.
Matt summerfield, I want to bethe comptroller.
I think I could do that job.
Yeah, I think you could.
I think you could, I think youdo it, I could do it.
I don't think I could betreasure.
Clearly, I'm not even a goodtreasurer for my own finances.
(23:30):
Well, I mean, you could guardit.
I could guard a treasure.
You could guard a chest,there's no question, oh for sure
.
And if you give me a map, Iwill find that treasure.
Give me a treasure map.
What about clues?
Oh, I'm all good.
Yeah, I'm good at puzzles.
Okay, like escape rooms.
Lock me in a room, phil.
(23:50):
Lock me in a room and watch meescape.
I would go for it.
Come on, lock you in a room.
You would too, wouldn't you?
And you just leave me there andI'd be like I'm hungry and
you're like I don't care.
You said you would escape, Idon't care, and then Matt would
starve or I'd lose 30 pounds.
Could, can we back on trackhere?
No, no, no.
I want to rename.
(24:10):
Uh, I want to rename all of thepolitical positions, I agree,
and and make up what they dobased on the names.
Okay, so you, you want torename them based on what they
do.
No, no, no.
I want to take the name of whatthey do and then, instead of
allowing them to do the thingthat they're supposed to do,
like a treasury, the treasureris the person who kind of
(24:33):
handles the money, they're kindof helping with the budget and
all that, but I like the ideathat this person is guarding a
treasure chest.
So give them the literal.
What exactly are we trollingwith these comps?
Or even look Precedent.
(24:54):
He's setting a precedent, soprecedent, so you gotta set it
right now.
The vice precedent justsqueezes the precedent.
He's just squeezing him.
Yeah, you know, he's just there.
It's like set it exactly.
The precedent, right, and theand that they're also the
precedent of the senate, so thesent it senate.
(25:15):
See nate, see nate, the c nate.
You're just looking at a guynamed nate and you're like hey,
nate, and that's all they do.
You see nate, yeah, that's allthey do.
They just stand there andthey're like so you got to have
nate, and he's there.
He's probably the comptroller.
To be honest, what if it wereCNET, cnet?
Okay, so they're like, they'relike their nets out in the sea.
(25:37):
They're just casting nets outin the sea.
Yeah, all they're doing isfishing.
There's the Senate and thenthere's the House, right, the
House of these people, the Houseof Representatives.
They have to make a humanpyramid, but they have to make a
human house, okay.
So the whole time they're justholding that position the whole
time.
If they fall, sorry, you're out,you're out, somebody else comes
(25:59):
in, okay, and the speaker ofthe house is just, he's just
yelling at them.
It's just like I love it.
I love it.
Come on, guys, you can do it.
Hold on.
Yeah, don't fall.
Ah, bill, you're out.
No, sorry, I like it.
Get out of here, bill.
I like it.
Stupid Bill, okay.
(26:19):
And then do we want to go intothe?
I like this game, the SupremeCourt.
All they do is they work at afood court making supreme pizza.
No, it's, or they just it's.
It's their uh regular court.
A bunch of judges with sourcream on them.
Oh, supreme, supreme, like liketaco dude, extra sour cream,
(26:41):
yeah, just a bunch of peoplestanding around sour cream.
This is good.
Throw sour cream on that.
The citizens get to throw sourcream on some judges.
That's the supreme court,homecoming court.
You throw sour cream at them,any kind of court, and they
become supreme court, theirsupreme court.
That would actually be fun ifyou could throw sour cream on a
(27:05):
judge.
I feel like it wouldpersonalize it a little bit more
.
You know, it would uh, humanizethem, is what I meant.
What about an alderman, aldermanor an alder person.
Well, isn't alder a type oftree?
Yeah, but I was thinking thatwhat they do is they're just
tailors, uh-huh, and they'realdering clothes.
They alder them Alder man, butthey only alder men's clothes.
(27:26):
Oh, no, alder women, they'realder people.
Alder peeps yeah, either that,or they're just much older than
everybody else, right, exactly.
Yeah, alder, like they're alderthan me.
Yeah, elder alder, alder, alderwe can change it to alder, we
can adopt a different.
Yeah, what about what else wegot out there?
I don't know political phrases.
Well, you have, uh, you saidthe figure that, what's the guy
(28:02):
that like the right hand man ofthe president?
Uh, the chief of staff.
Chief of staff yeah, he, all,he does.
He, he's gandalf.
She, he's gandalf.
Holds the staff yeah, that'sgandalf dude.
Yeah, it's like the chief ofwizards.
That's like the best.
That would be the best.
If I were be anybody, I wouldbe chief of staff because I'm
like, holding the staff.
Are people asking you Somebody,have you ever wanted to put your
name in as a, as a?
Yeah, I really.
I think I'm going to do thatone year as a representative,
(28:24):
just to see, like, I don't know.
I feel like they should by lawhave to state everyone that was
voted for on a piece of paper ora website somewhere so that I
can go look at that.
I got one vote there's me.
I did ask.
I asked Madison, but she did.
She said no.
She said no, she couldn't getbehind my father.
(28:47):
My dad did tell me I could be ajanitor, though, so that he's
not wrong, I hope you could be ajanitor.
At this point I thought maybe Ishould be a janitor.
Yeah, well, it'd work.
Well, now that we havecompletely redesigned the
government, the government, Ilove it.
Problem solved, problem issolved.
Right, I would vote for you asthe troller of my comps.
(29:08):
I'm the I'm the freaking chiefof staff dude, like oh, I'm
gandalf, basically chief of allstaffs.
I'm the freaking chief of staffdude.
I'm Gandalf, basically Chief ofall staffs.
Yeah, love it.
I love it To the chief of staff.
Who is the chief of staff?
I don't know, I'm not sure.
Doesn't really matter, does it?
Doesn't matter?
Hey, cheers wheelhorse, it'sall about the comptroller
anyways, that's right.
(29:29):

You know.
Black licorice too, really like.
I found a little bit of blacklicorice.
There might be the blacklicorice, there Might be the
(29:52):
black licorice you had rightbefore it.
Definitely not.
Black licorice is like olives.
To me, it's the best way toruin something.
What would fruits andvegetables not be like?
Fruits and vegetables?
Is an olive a fruit or avegetable?
It's a nut.
It comes from a bush.
(30:13):
No, it comes from a tree.
It's a root, right, because ithas a?
Doesn't it have a pit in it?
Yeah, it's got a pit.
That's why they call it olivepit.
And then, is there Not olivenut?
Is there?
Well, yeah, but is that pit aseed?
I don't know.
Or are we into, like, the worldof legumes?
Oh, I don't even get to starton legumes.

episode.
I feel like that.
We make a movie reference slashSteve Carroll reference.
Did you just say Steve Carroll?
Did I say Steve Carroll?
Dang it, phil.
(01:26):
Just you know.
It's like when you think youknow somebody and then they're

okay, some of the other cigar-yones that we've done, yeah, did
we do that one on an episode,starlight?
Did we do Cigar Batch as anepisode?
No, I don't think so.
We gotta do that, but that'snot.
We're about to.
We're about to.
(03:13):
Okay, alright.
So this one aged four years,this bourbon whiskey, this is a
71.
I'm sorry, a 70% corn, 70% corn.

come on.
(03:55):
Yeah, okay, 70 corn, 21 rye, 9malted barley aged a minimum of
four years and new charred oakbarrels.
Nice, this limited editioncigar bun was, was finished in a
combination of the port cognac,uh, sherry and armx casks, then
married together and bottledwithout chill filtration.
Okay, so 101, proof 101.
I'm really glad they didn'tfinish it in cigar boxes or used
(04:18):
cigar butts.
So have we done any of the GreenRiver on the podcast yet?
The Green Soda Pop.

Green River is the name of adistillery, I know.
Okay, we should bust that oneout at some point here.
No, what, we're going to bustit out.
I totally heard breast that oneout.

You know what else is by rivers?
Chickens.
You know what chickens have?
Breasts.
Actually, chickens don't go byrivers.
Ducks do ducks and breasts.
(05:02):
Okay, it's hard being me.
It's exhausting.
Yeah, is it exhausting being meas it is listening to me?
It's, uh, or worse it's.
It's gotta be worse.
It's exhausting everything.
Everything, all of us thing ishow do we keep things on track?
(05:22):
How do we keep you from sayingtoo much?
How do we keep you from gettingarrested?
Oh, we haven't.
We've been doing really good onthat.
Yeah, so far, so good.
We'll see what happens withthis episode, because we're
about to get into some crazytopics cigar batch, okay.
(05:43):
Now.
Yeah, the um, is it a richness?
I feel like when you ever, yeah, the cognac and the sherry,
yeah, and some of those things,those are, um, I'm not as
familiar with the almanac.
I don't think that's a thing.
I mean, I think they just putsome words together.
It might be a typo.
You might want to look, mightlet them know.
I'm gonna let them know.
No, no, hey, uh, we don't knowwhat almanac is.
(06:05):
But, uh, and then the port,there's some port wine in there.
Yeah, so you get a lot of thoselike cherry, chocolate, um,
richness am I?
I might got you know, what Iforgot about is the dom nas.
We haven't talked about our domnas in a while.
Yeah, I'm so worried about myfreaking nevis that forgot about
talking about the Domino'sCherry.
(06:25):
I smell a lot of cherry.
Yeah, I smell a lot of cherry.
Yeah, I think it's this one.
It's my left, which is ironic.
That's your right.
Wait, do you ever do this toyour nose, like move it?
And then you're like, oh, I, oh, I feel like a a sharp pain
(06:49):
here that tells you that you gota booger.
Oh, yeah, of course, crusty b.
Yeah, right, yeah, there'snothing up there.
No, her name is cardi b.
Oh sorry, yeah, I was always.
Oh, I've been calling hercrusty b this whole time.

Crusty b and steve carroll.
Uh, some guy named stevecarroll's, like I heard you
wanted people to be on.
Please be on our show.
Krusty B and Steve Carroll.
(07:10):
Some guy named Steve Carroll'slike I heard you wanted me to be

Krusty B's like hello, hey,come here.
Hey, do you have any cigarettesfor me?
I would love to be on your show.
Let me get on your show.
Krusty B Live.
Get out of here.
I don't know why we didn't makeit sound more like Krusty the
Clown, but here we are.
Maybe I was trying to be Krustythe Clown Kind of, did, were
you?
No, yeah, okay, so like a sweetcherriness, cherriness, yeah,
(07:32):
we're going to go with that.
I'm done.
I love it.
It's too good to keep drinking.
Really, it's really good tokeep drinking.
Really, it's really good.
But you said you're done.
Yeah, I'm going to let that onesit for a little bit.
Yeah, no, no, I'm done.
(07:52):
It's like it's too good, Ishouldn't be allowed to have it.
I think, well, that's saying alot.
I think I'm a little jaded.
I'm going to kind of like, kindof come at a different angle
here.
I think I'm a little jaded.
Tell me, tell me, why are youjaded?
Well, let me tell you, I'mjaded because we tried the other
(08:15):
cigar batch and it was verycigar-y.
So I feel like, if you're goingto say cigar batch, so I feel
like, if you're going to saycigar batch, what is it that
they're?
What is the expect expectation?
Let me try the wrong emphasison the wrong syllable.
What is the expectation whenyou say cigar batch?
(08:36):
See, that's all that happenedwith me when I said Steve Carell
that's true, it's just SteveCarell Carell, yeah, not Carell
Carell.
Well, I mean, what's theexpectation?
Like, to me, it's like itshould have I don't know.
Like I think this is horriblefor all you cigar people out
there.
Swisher, sweet, it's like gasstation cigar, but like at least
(08:57):
there's that.
Like, oh, this is a cigarversus a cigarette, right?
So like you get the sweetnessof the leaves and all that stuff
, and it was more the tobacco.
It was more of that, I think.
With the other one that wetried I'm not getting as much of
that, but maybe I don't know,maybe it's because we've barely
just gone past the neck.
(09:18):
Yeah, poor.
You know.
This is just going to have adifferent, it's going to have a
different feel than the otherone, cause it's it's comes from
a different place.
They're putting them intodifferent, you know different.
They're putting differentflavors, you know they're.
They're developing otherprofiles, flavor profiles, off
of that.
I guess I'm like how do theyget that flavor?
This one finished in for whatit is, this one?
(09:45):
The fact that they finish thesein all of these different types
of barrels and then blend themtogether is their definition or
their interpretation of what acigar batch should be.
I can't fault them for that atall.
No, I'm not saying it's like Ireally like it.
The other one to me was you knowhow, when you eat something
that's like really sweet andreally like tasty, but then you
(10:07):
have like just one bite too manyand it's like ugh, like it was
really good for like two orthree bites, and then it's like
I went through the fourth biteand it was like it's too much.
Yeah, but you can't be bitingyour whiskey, dude.
To me, well, you Kentucky chew.
First of all, you should knowthat that's true.
(10:28):
And then, second of all, to methis is more of a subtle cigar
batch, which I really.
I kind of like that I see whatyou're saying, because I can
drink this for longer withoutgetting like to the point where,
like, okay, that's just toomuch of this one flavor.
It's like the stouted whiskey.
You kind of have to be in themood to do it because it's so
(10:48):
pungent, right, it's so powerfulof a flavor, it's so distinct,
it's so, okay, this is theflavor.
Yeah, um, now, I didn't mind itwith some, with some of the
flavored stuff we did now,flavored, meaning soaked in the
fig.
Didn't mind it with that.
Yeah, um, maybe because it wasmore natural, I don't know.
But yeah, I think you're right.
I mean, I think it's like Ialmost want to see this and then
(11:11):
the other one, and then like,somewhere in the middle, yeah,
you know, maybe a little more ofthat kind of distinctness.
Yeah, um, but you can call.
If you didn't call it cigarbatch and you just called it
bourbon whiskey, I would havebeen like it's.
It is complex, like, as I'mthinking through like and
drinking it, as I'm thinkingthrough the different barrels
(11:33):
that it's been through, I dokind of get a little bit of that
sourness with from like thewine, right, like not sour wine
but like that sourness.
Yeah, no, I'm probably the, theleftover wine that's in in the
barrels that has fermented maybeeven more or whatever.
But yeah, I just I think youknow when I think of of what I
(11:53):
think of ports and cognac, forsure, not so much Sherry.
Sherry has more of a dry right,a dry field to me, but those
other two are very, very rich.
Breathe out your um, keep yourmouth closed.
Breathe out your nose almost,and kind of like you get this
like weird, like um fume flavor,almost like another layer of um
(12:17):
of like the wine almost yeah,that's how you do it.
Keep going, bill of like thewine, almost yeah, that's how
you do it.
Keep going Bill.
Yeah, bill lost his teeth.
No, I do know what you'resaying.
Like sending air through it orsomething is oxidating Carbon,
monoxizing it, carbonmonoxidating it.
(12:39):
That's what I don't get.
When people are doingmouth-to-mouth, we exhale carbon
, monoxideating it.
That's what I don't get.
When people are doing mouth tomouth, we exhale carbon monoxide
.
How is that helpful?
You, you're not supposed tobreathe carbon monoxide, you
know?
It's like like, look, if Iruled the world, okay then, then
I would change some things.
But go ahead, I'm no doctor.
(13:00):
How much oxygen is in theatmosphere, right?
So why don't they just breathe?
No, no, I'm asking you.
Do you know the number?
The percentage?
Seven, 21.
21% oxygen, yeah, in the air.
I feel like I can't breatheright now.
I feel like there should bemore.
I feel like there needs to bemore.
Do you know we need to havemore oxygen you breathe in.
(13:26):
Can we get some more oxygenplease?
I'm feeling stuffy.
You exhale oxygen as well, youdo, yeah, well, how is that
efficient from a human bodystandpoint?
You don't need all of the 21%.
How many percentage do I needof the 21%?
How many percentage do I need?
You breathe out.
Roughly 4 to 5% of what youexhale is oxygen, and that's
(13:51):
what they need.
But they're also getting carbonmonoxide Dioxide.
I never know what it is.
Is it carbon monoxide ordioxide?
Is it a mono, so CO2?
So it's dioxide.
Dioxide is CO2.
Carbon monoxide is the co1.
Yeah, it's just cold, just co.
Yeah, like a corporal, yeah,yeah, but carbon monoxide,
(14:13):
that's commanding officer, Idon't know.
Yeah, carbon monoxide is whatis, uh, is the bad one.
Carbon dioxide is what weexhale, breathe out.
Yeah, but you exhale and that'snot bad.
It's not great, but it's not.
But you, you exhale.
(14:35):
You know what else we'reexhaling right now Some ethanol.
I can tell you that we're goingto be exhaling.
You don't want to.
You want to get here.
Why does it matter?
You don't want to drink whiskeyand do mouth to mouth
immediately, because you'regonna be like here's some,
here's some CO2.
Here's some O2 and also someethanol.
So you're alive.
You're a little tipsy, however,sorry about that.
Yeah, but you're alive.
(14:56):
But you're alive, yeah, soyou're welcome.
They actually don't recommendthem out the mouth anymore, as
much Like it's it's.
They want you to just do chestcompressions because there's
enough oxygen in your blood tomove stuff around.
They only want you to do chestcompressions because they're
hoping some lady is going to befaint or something.
They're like eh, do chestcompressions, yeah, that'll help
(15:18):
her.
I don't even know, I'm not evensure how to help you at this
point, but then I thought in themiddle of that I was like, well
, wouldn't you want to domouth-to-mouth, but not if you
know.
Not if you know, they say youdon't want to stop the
compressions.
Oh, we're talking about savinga life, not going on a date,
right?
Okay, I hope so.
(15:39):
I'm just saying I had a lot ofdates that fainted.
So you know, he got it.
He just died.
Take, take what you can get,take what you can get, take what
you can get, take what you canget.
You know what I mean?
Everything you got.
All right, what are we talkingabout?
Wheelhorse or whatever?
I think, well, it's good, thisis wheelhorse, it's very good.
I would buy it again.
I'd buy it again.
I did buy it again.
(16:00):
Well, no, I bought it once youdid.
You bought it.
Did you buy this one?
No, you know what it was.
It was, but it was very cheap.
It was like 30, it was, andthat's, that's what we're going
for.
So, yeah, for a cigar batch,like see, this is where I, like
you know they always say, like,like chefs or whatever will say
(16:22):
befriend, go into your grocerystore, befriend the fish monger,
in other words, the person whoruns the fish counter, the
seafood counter.
Befriend them, because you willget good product from them.
Choice cuts, whatever.
Same thing with the butcher.
I would say same thing withyour whiskey what do you call
(16:43):
them?
I don't know your whiskeyconnoisseur.
Whiskey guy yeah, it doesn'tneed to be fancy, just the
whiskey guy and our whiskey guyat Garfield's gave us a good
pick and it was a great price.
Yeah, perfect price, perfectprice, perfect, and I think it's
good.
I mean perfect, but a bit free.
Green River has some reallygood stuff.
Yeah, we've got some weededstuff, so we'll definitely have
(17:04):
to check them out.
Yeah, as well.
But I'm a fan.
I'm a fan too.
I like it.
Yeah, I like it.
Well done Self.
Yeah, well done Garfields.
You know what I'm not really afan of?
Uh-oh.
What are you not a fan of?
Well, with the inaugurationright around the corner here, oh
(17:25):
, yeah, it's getting close.
I'm so excited.
Just under a week, I can't wait.
Uh, we'll have a, we'll have anew president.
Push it forward.
Office, let's just get it.
Let's get it.
Um, I, I am.
I'm so tired of politics, yeah,and politicians, yeah, so tired
of it.
I feel like we should run thecountry.
(17:45):
Whiskey bits of america,president.
Whiskey bits for president?
Who would be the president?
Who would be the vice?
We could trade off I.
I think we should put this to avote.
Put it to a vote.
Oh, let's do a poll.
You know what?
No, we're not doing a freakingpoll, because none of y'all
voted on the poll we already dida while ago.
(18:05):
I did a poll and of course, wegot two votes.
Though we did get two votes,was it?
It was me and me, because Ididn't vote.
You didn't even vote.
I don't remember doing a poll.
What was it about?
I don't even remember so longago.
I don't think you'd be a goodpolitician.
No, I wouldn't.
I think I could be president.
Do you think you could dopresident?
(18:26):
President, I don.
So I mean as a joke, as a ideal.
Sure, everybody thinks theycould be the president.
Here's the thing.
I don't think.
I don't think I would want tobe president, because it's not
enough power.
So, dictator, no, uh, I wouldrather be.
I'd rather be in in congress,oh, oh, I feel like senators and
(18:49):
congressmen have have morecongresswomen.
Congresspeople have more powerbecause they can actually do
things Well.
You have like the queen, forexample.
She didn't really have a lot of, she had nothing.
She had nothing.
She just was a figurehead.
She's dead.
She is dead.
Yeah, long live the queen untilshe died.
Nope, not long live the king.
I guess, I don't know, I don'tlive in the UK, but, however, no
(19:10):
, you don't.
No, but figurehead, right, theking is a complete figurehead
From the political standpoint.
It's a prime minister inEngland, it doesn't matter.
Okay, I don't think thepresident is a figurehead.
No, it's not to that point.
But I think a lot more getsdone in Congress, yeah, which I
(19:32):
think a lot more gets done inCongress, yeah, which I think a
lot more gets done in Congress.
I think a lot more is going toget done, if you know what I
mean, because we kind of got itall.
From my perspective, theRepublicans have, anytime you
have a complete one-sided yeah.
But that's the pendulum.
There's going to be some peoplethat are happy and some people
(19:53):
that aren't.
Look at how it was last time.
The pendulum was the other way.
They always.
Somebody said once it's like oh, yeah, it'll swing.
Really, it goes really far tothe right and it'll go really
far to the left, and then it'llgo back really far.
So it's, it's just the pendulum, nothing changes.
We just go through the cycleevery four years.
I'm looking forward to somesuper gas prices.
Hopefully it's every two yearsreally.
(20:15):
We go through these ebbs andflows every two years and people
aren't happy, and so then theyvote some other people in and
some other people out, andthings change and things bog
down, and then things justrepeat over and over and over
again.
And yet it's not funny.
Pritzker is still drivingaround on his freaking boat,
(20:39):
going over the speed limit inlake geneva how do you know that
?
And getting pulled over,because I know I know people
what and then during covid, mindyou, and then going.
You know who I am?
I'm like, yeah, we know who youare, because you're like 5 000
pounds and we can clearly seeyour giant yacht on lake geneva.
Oh my gosh, I don't have aproblem with pritzker at all.
(21:02):
No, um so, but like nothing.
My point is is nothing changesbecause we still have a governor
, whether you like him or not,like we still have this person
as a governor.
So I think the governor doesn'tdo much either.
Again, I would say that thelocal governments are the ones
that I think we should pay moreattention to, and that's where I
feel like I could make adifference.
Like the comptroller, you wantto get a good comptroller in
(21:25):
there.
I mean, if you've got a goodcomptroller, things are looking
up.
You need the comps trolled arelooking up, you need the comps
trolled, that's all I'm saying.
Yeah, like you can't have themuntrolled.
If you didn't, if you didn'thave some way of trolling the
comps, you'd be screwed right.
I mean, yeah, or comping thetrollers.
Do you ever see an uncomptroller?
(21:45):
Absolutely not.
It's always the comp trolling.
Are they?
Are they comping the trollersor are they?
That's a good question.
I didn't know, I, I don't know.
I would think it's the comp andthe trollers.
That's a good question.
I didn't know.
I don't know.
I would think it's the comp andthe trollers.
Okay, yeah, these are thethings.
I don't know that I would.
I'm not really even sure what acomptroller does.
I don't think they do anything.
(22:06):
I think they meant to saycontroller and somebody
misspelled it and they're like Iguess I'm a comptroller.
Now, I don't know, I thought Iwas going to be controlling
everything and now they're likeI don't have a position.
Yeah, yeah, um, no, I.
I think that there's some.
I think that there is some somevalue in, don't say there's,
there's no value.
(22:26):
There's got to be value in acomptroller.
I don't know, we're gonna findout.
We're gonna about a treasurer,the comments what do treasurers
do?
They guard the treasure.
They're like the guy thatguards the treasure chest In
every city, town.
Right, there's a treasure chest, right, and the treasurer is
the one that goes and finds thetreasure and puts it in the
trust.
Okay, chest trust, the trust.
(22:46):
No, they put it in trust.
It might be in a trust right,right, which has?
I don't even know.
This wheelhorse has gone in mybrain.
Look, the point is is there's alot of roles out there that
don't make any sense and nobodyknows what they do.
Well, there's the comp troll,that's true.
The comp roll, the companythat's what it is.
It's a comped roll.
(23:07):
Oh, it's a comptroller.
Oh, they're, oh, they'rerolling.
They're rolling comps.
I love it.
Oh, I'm all for that.
Yeah, comp, you go, comptroller, I'm sure you're doing
something real good for us.
Matt summerfield, forcomptroller.
Matt summerfield, I want to bethe comptroller.
I think I could do that job.
Yeah, I think you could.
I think you could, I think youdo it, I could do it.
I don't think I could betreasure.
Clearly, I'm not even a goodtreasurer for my own finances.
(23:30):
Well, I mean, you could guardit.
I could guard a treasure.
You could guard a chest,there's no question, oh for sure
.
And if you give me a map, Iwill find that treasure.
Give me a treasure map.
What about clues?
Oh, I'm all good.
Yeah, I'm good at puzzles.
Okay, like escape rooms.
Lock me in a room, phil.
(23:50):
Lock me in a room and watch meescape.
I would go for it.
Come on, lock you in a room.
You would too, wouldn't you?
And you just leave me there andI'd be like I'm hungry and
you're like I don't care.
You said you would escape, Idon't care, and then Matt would
starve or I'd lose 30 pounds.
Could, can we back on trackhere?
No, no, no.
I want to rename.
(24:10):
Uh, I want to rename all of thepolitical positions, I agree,
and and make up what they dobased on the names.
Okay, so you, you want torename them based on what they
do.
No, no, no.
I want to take the name of whatthey do and then, instead of
allowing them to do the thingthat they're supposed to do,
like a treasury, the treasureris the person who kind of
(24:33):
handles the money, they're kindof helping with the budget and
all that, but I like the ideathat this person is guarding a
treasure chest.
So give them the literal.
What exactly are we trollingwith these comps?
Or even look Precedent.
(24:54):
He's setting a precedent, soprecedent, so you gotta set it
right now.
The vice precedent justsqueezes the precedent.
He's just squeezing him.
Yeah, you know, he's just there.
It's like set it exactly.
The precedent, right, and theand that they're also the
precedent of the senate, so thesent it senate.
(25:15):
See nate, see nate, the c nate.
You're just looking at a guynamed nate and you're like hey,
nate, and that's all they do.
You see nate, yeah, that's allthey do.
They just stand there andthey're like so you got to have
nate, and he's there.
He's probably the comptroller.
To be honest, what if it wereCNET, cnet?
Okay, so they're like, they'relike their nets out in the sea.
(25:37):
They're just casting nets outin the sea.
Yeah, all they're doing isfishing.
There's the Senate and thenthere's the House, right, the
House of these people, the Houseof Representatives.
They have to make a humanpyramid, but they have to make a
human house, okay.
So the whole time they're justholding that position the whole
time.
If they fall, sorry, you're out,you're out, somebody else comes
(25:59):
in, okay, and the speaker ofthe house is just, he's just
yelling at them.
It's just like I love it.
I love it.
Come on, guys, you can do it.
Hold on.
Yeah, don't fall.
Ah, bill, you're out.
No, sorry, I like it.
Get out of here, bill.
I like it.
Stupid Bill, okay.
(26:19):
And then do we want to go intothe?
I like this game, the SupremeCourt.
All they do is they work at afood court making supreme pizza.
No, it's, or they just it's.
It's their uh regular court.
A bunch of judges with sourcream on them.
Oh, supreme, supreme, like liketaco dude, extra sour cream,
(26:41):
yeah, just a bunch of peoplestanding around sour cream.
This is good.
Throw sour cream on that.
The citizens get to throw sourcream on some judges.
That's the supreme court,homecoming court.
You throw sour cream at them,any kind of court, and they
become supreme court, theirsupreme court.
That would actually be fun ifyou could throw sour cream on a
(27:05):
judge.
I feel like it wouldpersonalize it a little bit more
.
You know, it would uh, humanizethem, is what I meant.
What about an alderman, aldermanor an alder person.
Well, isn't alder a type oftree?
Yeah, but I was thinking thatwhat they do is they're just
tailors, uh-huh, and they'realdering clothes.
They alder them Alder man, butthey only alder men's clothes.
(27:26):
Oh, no, alder women, they'realder people.
Alder peeps yeah, either that,or they're just much older than
everybody else, right, exactly.
Yeah, alder, like they're alderthan me.
Yeah, elder alder, alder, alderwe can change it to alder, we
can adopt a different.
Yeah, what about what else wegot out there?
I don't know political phrases.
Well, you have, uh, you saidthe figure that, what's the guy
(28:02):

Uh, the chief of staff.
Chief of staff yeah, he, all,he does.
He, he's gandalf.
She, he's gandalf.
Holds the staff yeah, that'sgandalf dude.
Yeah, it's like the chief ofwizards.
That's like the best.
That would be the best.
If I were be anybody, I wouldbe chief of staff because I'm
like, holding the staff.
Are people asking you Somebody,have you ever wanted to put your
name in as a, as a?
Yeah, I really.
I think I'm going to do thatone year as a representative,
(28:24):
just to see, like, I don't know.
I feel like they should by lawhave to state everyone that was
voted for on a piece of paper ora website somewhere so that I
can go look at that.
I got one vote there's me.
I did ask.
I asked Madison, but she did.
She said no.
She said no, she couldn't getbehind my father.
(28:47):
My dad did tell me I could be ajanitor, though, so that he's
not wrong, I hope you could be ajanitor.
At this point I thought maybe Ishould be a janitor.
Yeah, well, it'd work.
Well, now that we havecompletely redesigned the
government, the government, Ilove it.
Problem solved, problem issolved.
Right, I would vote for you asthe troller of my comps.
