We are super excited about you being here. Yeah super excited beer

12
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:05,560
Yeah, we've been waiting a while and actually we haven't you know, I gotta be honest

13
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,720
I was not a huge fan of garrison brothers and it's not on the true merit of what

14
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:17,480
Garrison brothers has achieved it's just because I'm like you guys are you guys are a good birdman. They're solid

15
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,320
However, I'm like, I don't want to freaking pay that

16
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:26,240
You had a shoot your mind. I was like, come on. No, I'm just not doing it and I just like I'm done

17
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,120
I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. And then Jeff insisted you're being dick

18
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,840
That was really good and I was

19
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,840
We had also been to the garrison brothers still really we've been like you've been down there

20
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,320
Sean has not I don't think I haven't I didn't get an invite but we went separately

21
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:49,800
Yeah, just been separate. I've been I've been separate. Yes, and and yeah, I mean it's it was impressive

22
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,400
No, I don't think you had the you had the garrison brother experience when you were

23
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,680
Having your moment but but yeah, but I did I I'd manage

24
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,880
so for those dudes like us listeners out there in case you don't know we are

25
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,000
Three weird guys growing up all over the planet and different things

26
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:12,600
We met each other and we started a podcast called dudes like us long way long story short

27
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:18,200
One of the things that we we appreciate is is is whiskies and bourbons and we didn't realize this and we started buying some

28
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:25,600
some low-end stuff and then we were traveling to as our attention became more to the details of what it is and we started off with

29
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,800
We and we kind of that was our thing because we're kind of like right. Ooh, it's freaking pungent

30
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,960
I'm not drinking that crap, you know

31
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,920
And it was like and we're just kind of like dismissing all these fantastic whiskies and bourbons and didn't realize it

32
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:43,520
Well and and like you said the price point at first. Yeah, we were like doing the 40 and the 50

33
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,640
I mean, no, it started even cheaper. Oh even cheaper than that. Yeah, we didn't know we were doing you know, this ain't you age

34
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:50,640
We're dipping the toe in the water, right?

35
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:57,840
Kentucky deluxe and anything and we still have some out there. We have taste after we have we have shelves of forty dollar bourbons, right?

36
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:03,400
Oh and then and then when we started getting into the 60 and then 70 plus and then we saw garrison brothers

37
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,080
So that that was just it

38
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:10,480
That's that's just the point is that we got to the point where we were because we were doing the podcast on a regular basis

39
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,120
We're just kind of shoot from the hip. We never we don't know how this thing's gonna go

40
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,480
But we want to still collect it. We want to sample we want to talk about it be consistent

41
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,160
so we started hitting these other places specs total wine and

42
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:27,240
Liquor King and we have a routine every Friday and we we have a like a couple samples. It doesn't matter

43
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,320
We're all lightweight. So by the time we hit like total wine, which is usually one of our last stops

44
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,960
We get a little silly and that's where we met. Mr

45
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:41,360
Mr. James here from garrison brothers and as cocky as we were and as seasoned as we were we kind of explained to who we were

46
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,200
And it's been a long time coming for you to get on here and we're happy

47
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:51,440
So walk us through your intro into garrisons. How long you been there going on a little over a year

48
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,640
I was in the service industry for 13 years and restaurants managing all over

49
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,720
DFW for a very long time and wanted to transition to this side of the industry

50
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,720
I had a lot of friends do it

51
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,680
And got a lot of sound advice from all of them on how to go about it

52
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,480
And everybody that I talked to said to go to a supplier versus going straight to distributor

53
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:16,360
Which is the usual stepping stone to be able to get into this side and I was able to skip that stone that stepping stone

54
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:22,560
Fortunately, so about a year and a half ago saw a listing for this position called bourbon evangelist

55
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,360
So that's kind of what I do. I preached the good word of the bourbon and sell it

56
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:32,200
And handle all DFW all over the place both on and off-premise of old some retail stores

57
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,880
Restaurants and all the all the liking but I've been a fan of garrison brothers for a very long time

58
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,720
Yeah, I want to say the first time I tried our regular bourbon

59
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:48,840
It's probably 2015 2016 and I was like, oh, it's okay. You know, it's expense. I had the same, you know reaction y'all had

60
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,640
And then in 2018 when they first released Balmurray

61
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,080
I tried that I was like, holy shit. This is

62
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,600
You know, I've got a question about that is this the right time to ask it

63
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,600
What's that about that Balmurray?

64
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:10,160
From from the story that I recall it was basically four brothers or four friends that got together

65
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,160
How it's how the name was?

66
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,920
It's it was for proceeds to help protect the Balmurray State Park

67
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,400
But how they how were the name Balmurray came from? Oh, yeah. Yeah

68
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,800
Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna drink that in the second half. Do you want to talk about specifically what we're talking about?

69
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,320
I want to talk the story in the second half and we're drinking. Okay, but I think it's a good one

70
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,320
Yeah, which one the Balmurray?

71
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:36,160
Okay, well, yeah, that's kind of what I was getting into but I guess we can but regard to the water

72
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:42,320
There's a natural spring which really because when we went to your your garrison brothers class at Total Wine in Plano, Texas

73
00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:46,280
You were talking about that spring that they get all their natural cold water

74
00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:52,840
from and is that what gives or you believe that that gives what the flavors are into going into the

75
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,000
Are you saying are you thinking of Balmurray spring?

76
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,040
Or there's one of them where they they said that they had rehab some sort of natural spring up there

77
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,520
So they could harvest some of that water. So all of our water is from the distillery

78
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:12,840
So we have a natural well that's heavily mineralized water and we use that why it's limestone water

79
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:18,120
So we use that water to cook the mash because it helps break down during the cooking process

80
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:23,000
But then for proofing the bourbon down, it's all rainwater collected off the roofs of the distillery

81
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,840
Okay, so those are the two now. I think what you're thinking of is the Balmurray

82
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:35,320
Has the largest naturally spring-fed maybe that's what it was and that was part of going into Balmurray

83
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,840
Donate guy with the beard with the orange hair white hair yellow hair, whatever

84
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:43,000
He was he was going into it. That was like that. I thought that's the one that you had

85
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,600
Although you went to garrison brothers

86
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,920
Twice right? Yeah. Yeah, and what you had to leave because of an emergency

87
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,840
Yeah, okay. I forgot you one another time because I was like, yeah, he knows others

88
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:57,880
But I think you were there. Were you there the time you left? Yeah

89
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,720
Yeah, you came in and you just shot all four of them and walked out. I imagine guys

90
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,840
We're going to these these garrison brother events and we you know, we show up and we're like

91
00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:12,280
And we you know, we show up and uh, you know, one of these want to be waiting for a long time

92
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:17,400
Well, I get a phone call like right when we're walking in and I gotta go it's an emergency

93
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:22,920
I mean it wasn't a five alarm fire. It was like a two alarm fire. I had to get turned into a two alarm fire

94
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,920
Yeah, the number two

95
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,000
right, but uh

96
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,400
The thing is is that you know, I we show up to the class and it's all laid out. It's elegant

97
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,280
They got all the garrison brothers stuff out and it just like and I walk in I'm like this sucks

98
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:41,800
I gotta go so they thankfully they have all the samples on all the tables set up in advance

99
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,000
So I'll walk right over to the sample. We don't do that anymore because of you

100
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,360
When I do four or five I was like I gotta go or yeah, I watched you do it too

101
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,360
And then you walked out I was like, okay

102
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,760
Then he went to the hospital

103
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,560
Yeah, well then there I was for like four hours. So I'm glad I by the time I got there. I was perfect

104
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:09,000
It's like I'm ready to handle this. Yes, and in retrospect you're never able to handle that kind of stuff

105
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,320
No, not when the parent goes in the hospital. You never know what's going on. So uh,

106
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,840
So you you've been with them for over a year and what is your your particular role there?

107
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,360
Essentially sales. My title is bourbon evangelist like I was saying

108
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:29,320
Um, so essentially preaching the word and selling it, you know going in so is that bourbon evangelist like a title of something?

109
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,600
Like a on your website, that's what garrison brothers probably that's what's on my card

110
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,680
Yeah, okay. So is that the name of garrison brothers kind of a sub name is uh,

111
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:42,760
That's my title and we have a few other people with that title in other locations. I'm the one here in dfw

112
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:49,320
But we have kind of cool. Yeah. Yeah, how often do you make it down to garrison brothers itself this year? I've been

113
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,920
Twice this year and then I went twice last year. Gotcha. Yeah

114
00:08:56,680 --> 00:09:00,920
Well good and I and I want to get into the history of garrison because when we did the

115
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,920
The event there at total wine

116
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,160
Uh, the master distiller was there and I can't remember his name donna's top. Yeah donnas

117
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,400
And he was going into a lot of the history how they got started and stuff like that

118
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,160
I think it's fascinating

119
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,440
Uh, if you kind of want to get into that and how garrison brothers

120
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,120
uh

121
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,320
Started and got to where they are. Yeah, I think that's a fascinating story

122
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:27,480
Absolutely, and i'm going to preface this by saying there is a documentary on amazon prime and on youtube

123
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:32,840
That dan and nancy tell this story a lot better than I will tell it, but I can tell it to an extent

124
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,640
Um, so essentially uh back in the day, uh, dan garrison was a tech guy

125
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:42,760
So he worked, uh based out of austin and uh had uh a lot of experience in tech

126
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,240
Uh got shares as part of his uh pension plan from my understanding

127
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:53,480
Um, and it turned out that those shares were in a little business named enron. Whoa and

128
00:09:53,480 --> 00:10:00,120
And uh, everything one day just went to shit and he lost it all and he's sitting in bed one night next to nancy garrison

129
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:07,160
Uh reading a paper reading the newspaper and see something about somebody opening a vodka distillery in austin

130
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,520
And he turns to her and he's like who the hell would want to open a vodka distillery?

131
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,360
It's tasteless like who why would anybody want to do that when you can do bourbon?

132
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,600
And she looks at him and says shit. You should open a bourbon distillery

133
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,600
We'd probably save money with how much bourbon you drink

134
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,120
and

135
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:27,800
Uh to him that was his past to go out to kentucky and follow around, you know, some of the best. Thank you, ma'am

136
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,880
Start i'll be on my way

137
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,800
Exactly, and i'll be right back booked his flight out there. Uh three months

138
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,360
right

139
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:40,280
Worked with some of the greatest uh out in kentucky and learned as much as he could

140
00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:45,960
Uh came back, uh worked a lot with elmer t lee, you know master distiller buffalo trace for 60 plus years

141
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:52,440
Um came back, uh had a mash bill that we got to working on and open up a distillery now

142
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,400
Now the mash bill again, I don't know

143
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,040
How do you when you first started out?

144
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,920
We've talked to some other uh distillers

145
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:06,280
How do you know it's right that you're like this is going to be a home run or do you really not know this?

146
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,440
You don't know and the thing is is with bourbon you have to age it before you know

147
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:11,800
It's going to be right or not, right?

148
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:16,520
You know minimum two years ours is roughly four years on average of all of our our standard

149
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:23,640
Excuse me all of our standard expressions four years minimum. So, you know, it's just a waiting process and I think they've tweaked it

150
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,200
Over the years and made it better and better and I think it's the best that it's ever been right now

151
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,160
I mean the the first one we did was called young gun and

152
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:37,240
When you tasted young bourbon as y'all i'm sure have tasted you know, you can tell when a bourbon is too young

153
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:42,440
Uh, especially in in texas. So so uh, where do you procure your your corn?

154
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:49,720
but there's uh, and I bring this up because I would have never asked that question had I not gone to iron root and I learned

155
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:56,200
They they had a pretty good course and they kind of broke into different different things of corn and and now i'm like

156
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,200
Well, where do you guys get yours?

157
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:05,240
Mainly the panhandle panhandle in south texas, but it is mostly the panhandle. It is american food grade number one white corn

158
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,240
specifically white corn

159
00:12:07,260 --> 00:12:15,500
Because of the sweetness, right? So our mash bill 74% that white corn 15 soft bread winter wheat and 11% multi-barley

160
00:12:16,780 --> 00:12:19,420
Have you you just have one mash bill then correct?

161
00:12:19,420 --> 00:12:24,460
Yep for all eight expressions that we do currently and they're just aged differently

162
00:12:24,700 --> 00:12:30,460
The same percentage is that the same percentage same exact mash bill to the percent and everything. Yep. Yep. Same juice

163
00:12:31,420 --> 00:12:33,740
Is the same as what we're drinking here

164
00:12:33,740 --> 00:12:37,420
starts the same that's what I mean starts. Yep. That's the same mash bill, right? Yep

165
00:12:37,420 --> 00:12:41,340
Because I think we've talked about that where it's fascinating. I think paul says he went to

166
00:12:42,300 --> 00:12:46,780
Uh, I don't know if it's heaven's hill where it's the same mash bill for all of their

167
00:12:47,980 --> 00:12:50,380
Uh urbans. Yeah, it's just a matter of

168
00:12:50,940 --> 00:12:55,180
Where you age it within the rick houses and so long that's an extent of it

169
00:12:55,180 --> 00:12:59,260
Uh, our expressions I feel like are a little deeper than that because we have different finishes

170
00:12:59,260 --> 00:13:05,900
So, you know, we have a wet cognac xo barrel finish a portuguese port wine finish. You know, that stuff's fun

171
00:13:06,300 --> 00:13:11,420
Yeah, and that that's really where you make the difference granted every barrel is going to be different

172
00:13:11,980 --> 00:13:16,460
Honestly, regardless of where it is in the rick house, they could be side by side and they're going to be totally different

173
00:13:16,460 --> 00:13:23,020
Right, you know, so that definitely does play a part especially when you're talking about those wood and exactly time of the year

174
00:13:23,020 --> 00:13:27,660
That that particular tree was cut down. Yeah, how long had it been dead or was it dying?

175
00:13:27,660 --> 00:13:34,540
I mean, there's a there's so many variables one especially when you're talking about those distilleries heaven hill and you know, buffalo trace that have these

176
00:13:35,420 --> 00:13:40,060
Warehouse these still houses or i'm sorry rick houses that are multi floors

177
00:13:40,780 --> 00:13:45,420
And ginormous where ours is not ours is one big ass barn granted, you know

178
00:13:45,420 --> 00:13:51,580
It stacks with 10 barrels tall, but it's one building. It's not multiple floors where you have to have a

179
00:13:52,220 --> 00:13:54,620
You see you guys expanding we are yeah

180
00:13:54,620 --> 00:13:59,180
We just uh, we just built a second rick house back in the back. That's the square footage of of uh,

181
00:13:59,340 --> 00:14:03,420
One of your rick houses. I wish I could tell you that I know that the one we just did

182
00:14:03,580 --> 00:14:07,820
Uh, I the one we just did I believe's house is about 14 000 barrels

183
00:14:09,020 --> 00:14:09,980
All right

184
00:14:09,980 --> 00:14:16,700
That's a lot. I know have you we were talking about again heaven so because they have the huge, you know, five story six story rick houses

185
00:14:17,100 --> 00:14:19,100
Where they had that tremendous fire?

186
00:14:19,740 --> 00:14:21,740
uh up there where they

187
00:14:21,740 --> 00:14:26,860
Burnt down and they lost thousands and thousands and thousands of barrels of bourbon. Yeah

188
00:14:27,420 --> 00:14:33,100
Uh, is there any kind of fire suppression system in those things or is it just open air?

189
00:14:33,900 --> 00:14:39,180
Because I know there's really no atmosphere ac or heat or anything. It's you're letting the elements do its thing

190
00:14:39,260 --> 00:14:43,980
Yeah, so anyway at this, you know, I think the rick houses are fascinating because

191
00:14:44,540 --> 00:14:49,340
Even we're we're at iron root. They're like, you know this this over here ages differently than it does over here

192
00:14:49,340 --> 00:14:52,300
So i'm curious as you go through this

193
00:14:52,860 --> 00:14:56,220
Uh the stuff at the front of the building or in the middle of the building

194
00:14:57,340 --> 00:14:59,340
How that those expressions change?

195
00:14:59,980 --> 00:15:01,820
especially in texas

196
00:15:01,820 --> 00:15:02,860
and

197
00:15:02,860 --> 00:15:04,860
You know, it's different. You know

198
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,540
regionally has an impact i'm thinking with the heat the variations of heat

199
00:15:08,540 --> 00:15:10,300
I mean, do you guys have fans in there?

200
00:15:10,300 --> 00:15:16,620
I mean, or do you have the gable in vents that just let natural air come in? No, um along both walls

201
00:15:16,620 --> 00:15:22,220
Um, there's windows that essentially flap up and so it opens and so it can breathe

202
00:15:22,700 --> 00:15:29,260
Through and then side to side so big barn doors on each side and then windows all along the long sides of the barn

203
00:15:29,580 --> 00:15:35,500
So I was doing a little calculating here and with uh, 14,000 barrels. It is

204
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,200
approximately

205
00:15:39,020 --> 00:15:41,500
Uh 21 million pounds

206
00:15:42,860 --> 00:15:44,620
Of whiskey

207
00:15:44,620 --> 00:15:50,140
If it's full, right? Yeah, that's a combined 20. Well this one it says 18 to 22 thousand barrels

208
00:15:50,140 --> 00:15:54,220
But if you dumb that down, it's probably around 21 million pounds of whiskey

209
00:15:54,220 --> 00:15:59,660
Well, you use different size barrels too, right? That's exactly what I was about to say. Yeah, yeah use different size barrels

210
00:16:00,060 --> 00:16:05,020
These are what's their standard? I mean, it's basically well, there's a barge but I mean the standard one is what 55 53

211
00:16:05,340 --> 00:16:12,300
53 is there a 50 what what are the different sites? Uh, I couldn't tell you all of them. Um, I know our

212
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:16,140
Main our main one is 53 for our single barrels

213
00:16:16,140 --> 00:16:19,820
We use a lot of 25 gallons and for like the balmerie like we're talking about the double

214
00:16:19,820 --> 00:16:24,060
Okay, the second barrel is a 25 gallon barrel. Those are those are fun. I say fun

215
00:16:24,620 --> 00:16:28,940
Because you know, they're they're a lot easier to handle. Oh, yeah, they're way easier to store

216
00:16:29,500 --> 00:16:32,300
And they're like little morsels of love you can just

217
00:16:34,780 --> 00:16:37,820
I don't know if you can carry it but god bless it. You can almost carry it

218
00:16:37,900 --> 00:16:41,740
I mean you could probably prop it up on a wheelbarrow, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, 25

219
00:16:41,740 --> 00:16:45,260
Yeah, it's heavy. They're heavy, but like 200 300 pounds

220
00:16:45,900 --> 00:16:50,780
Give or take probably probably 200 ish. Yeah, I mean well they say I don't know what it is

221
00:16:50,780 --> 00:16:55,020
But a gallon of water weighs there's a certain amount right? So a gallon of water

222
00:16:55,260 --> 00:16:59,980
There's a certain pound. I imagine bourbon's the same way. Yeah, I'm a gallon of it is eight pounds

223
00:17:00,300 --> 00:17:04,780
You know one of those things about the the barrels. I I really like uh, it's called me weird but

224
00:17:05,500 --> 00:17:10,380
It's kind of like this fatuation with like those wine bottles the cork to take it out and you smell it

225
00:17:10,380 --> 00:17:17,900
Mm-hmm. I learned something kind of new. Uh, I I didn't know those little things were called bungholes that you put in the whiskey barrels

226
00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:21,820
Uh, I see you. I know it's a bung that you put into the hole

227
00:17:22,060 --> 00:17:27,420
Oh, so it's a bung hole that the bung goes in correct. Yes. I kept thinking like beavis and button

228
00:17:28,060 --> 00:17:30,060
whatever

229
00:17:30,220 --> 00:17:32,220
bungholio

230
00:17:32,220 --> 00:17:40,700
Corn holio corn holio. Yeah, all right, but what I was what I was driving is uh when we picked up our 1845 barrels

231
00:17:41,500 --> 00:17:43,500
our complimentary

232
00:17:44,140 --> 00:17:48,860
Excellent guys towards 1845. Uh, they uh, they gifted us a couple barrels by the way

233
00:17:49,020 --> 00:17:53,980
So anyways, so we get the barrels and they have the little bungs and right you smell it

234
00:17:54,060 --> 00:18:00,220
It's like I got that wonderful aroma. I I dig it. Yeah, i'm excited about that. That should be a collectible thing

235
00:18:00,220 --> 00:18:02,220
Right bunghole. Do you sell your bungs?

236
00:18:02,780 --> 00:18:05,580
Wow, probably they sell everything they sell everything they give shop

237
00:18:05,820 --> 00:18:10,780
So I want to get to some of the some of the other bourbons that garrison has there's one coming out

238
00:18:11,340 --> 00:18:12,380
uh

239
00:18:12,380 --> 00:18:15,580
Really soon the cowboy because when we had the class

240
00:18:16,220 --> 00:18:22,620
Uh with donnas, he said that this year's going to be it's uh hazmat level correct. We're very interested in that

241
00:18:23,180 --> 00:18:27,340
Uh, we obviously like the hire proof stuff and uh the hazmat they're

242
00:18:27,340 --> 00:18:33,020
Hard to find a good good bourbon. That's hazmat is hard to find at least here locally

243
00:18:33,740 --> 00:18:38,940
Uh, so when is that coming out and what can you tell us about that? So the distillery

244
00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:44,140
Distillery release was just a couple weeks ago, uh, and then coming out up here to dfw

245
00:18:44,700 --> 00:18:46,700
Uh very soon if not today

246
00:18:47,020 --> 00:18:51,020
So it just it kind of varies it takes a couple weeks to get up from the distillery to up here

247
00:18:51,660 --> 00:18:54,860
Um, but the distillery release this year was september 21st

248
00:18:54,860 --> 00:19:02,220
And this is actually the second year in a row that it's been hazmat. So last year was 140.9 proof and this year's 140.2

249
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,320
Outstanding and it is

250
00:19:05,420 --> 00:19:10,460
Phenomenal. Yeah, I think we need to get a bottle say that proof again 140 what point to this here?

251
00:19:10,460 --> 00:19:17,580
So the cowboy bourbon uncut unfiltered straight bourbon whiskey 140.2 proof. So I don't think we have ever had anything that high

252
00:19:18,140 --> 00:19:23,820
Though the rumble was that we had the we had t a h and that was 144. Yeah. Oh damn

253
00:19:23,820 --> 00:19:28,780
Yeah, we don't have a lot over the the the standard hazmat the 140, right?

254
00:19:28,780 --> 00:19:34,300
So that's the stuff that you can't take on airplanes because it's flammable. Yeah, bustable. No shit. Yes

255
00:19:34,300 --> 00:19:36,460
There's probably a lot of reasons why there's not a lot of those

256
00:19:37,260 --> 00:19:42,700
Right. Well, it's hard to get those barrels that come out at that high proof and the fact also that it is a batched

257
00:19:43,260 --> 00:19:45,180
Bourbon, so it's not a single barrel

258
00:19:45,180 --> 00:19:49,740
You know, it's one thing to pull a bear a single barrel and have it higher proof like that

259
00:19:49,980 --> 00:19:51,980
But to get be able to batch

260
00:19:51,980 --> 00:19:57,100
Several barrels together and still have it at that high of a proof. Yeah, that's something that's not easy to do

261
00:19:57,260 --> 00:20:01,180
Yeah, because each barrel goes through its own experience correct, right in terms of you know

262
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,940
Evaporation or how do you get something like that that hot?

263
00:20:04,940 --> 00:20:11,180
I mean is there do is there some protocol that you guys do is hey we want to target these 10 barrels to try to

264
00:20:11,180 --> 00:20:13,180
Get them up there according to donnis

265
00:20:13,180 --> 00:20:17,180
I think y'all he talked to you a little bit about it in the class that y'all were in the piggy bank

266
00:20:17,180 --> 00:20:22,460
Method of picking up the barrels and shaking it and feeling which one has the least juice in it. So the one that's had the most water

267
00:20:23,100 --> 00:20:28,780
Evaporate out for angel share right feeling like it has the least juice inside of that barrel

268
00:20:28,780 --> 00:20:34,780
That's going to mean that more of that water is evaporated. Therefore that alcohol content jumps up granted. It's not

269
00:20:35,980 --> 00:20:41,580
Guaranteed right, you know, it's kind of just up to the the bourbon gods what they decide that proved to be

270
00:20:41,580 --> 00:20:47,180
But generally the less juice that you're pouring out of that barrel, which is again something that makes it so special

271
00:20:47,180 --> 00:20:53,660
Of being a batch of so many select barrels that are hand-picked the favorite barrels per se of dan and donnis

272
00:20:54,060 --> 00:20:57,500
And being able to put those together and still have something that high proof is what

273
00:20:58,460 --> 00:21:01,660
Is it a is it a double barrel or is it just single single?

274
00:21:03,260 --> 00:21:07,500
One oak, okay, it's just high it's your high proof

275
00:21:07,500 --> 00:21:11,020
Bourbon is what it is and this year I know past years

276
00:21:11,660 --> 00:21:19,100
The way it was described was a six-year minimum uncut unfiltered this year. It says it's eight-year. Wow uncut unfiltered

277
00:21:19,100 --> 00:21:21,980
Yeah, we've always we've talked about that, especially here in texas

278
00:21:23,100 --> 00:21:28,940
The ultra I think ultra aged in texas hyper maturation. You're looking at eight years, right?

279
00:21:28,940 --> 00:21:34,540
So, you know because you can find 10 12 15 18 year old bourbons out there

280
00:21:34,540 --> 00:21:38,460
I don't know if you're ever gonna see that out of a texas. No, definitely not that barrel will be empty

281
00:21:38,460 --> 00:21:43,740
Yeah, 15 years right less than that. Yeah. Now have you uh has garrison brothers?

282
00:21:44,380 --> 00:21:49,420
Do they have a barrel kind of set aside where they're kind of testing that to say what is the length that we can actually get?

283
00:21:49,420 --> 00:21:52,060
Out of these things. I wish I could speak to that

284
00:21:52,620 --> 00:21:56,940
The truth is that donnis probably does a lot of stuff that we don't know about at our level

285
00:21:56,940 --> 00:22:00,700
We don't know about at our level, you know

286
00:22:04,380 --> 00:22:10,060
Tucked away hidden with a secret sticker on it or something. I I don't know. I honestly I wish I

287
00:22:11,180 --> 00:22:17,820
Found that fascinating that because texas is wholly different than the bourbons and the whiskies that come out of texas are completely different

288
00:22:17,820 --> 00:22:23,100
I think not completely but they're quite a bit different than the kentucky or wherever else try them just because of the heat

289
00:22:23,100 --> 00:22:30,140
Right heat and that the the the the altitude right pressure on the barrels and how old can you get it before?

290
00:22:30,140 --> 00:22:32,940
It's basically tastes like a hunk of wood basically. So

291
00:22:34,300 --> 00:22:37,500
It's a very debated topic with garrison brothers in general

292
00:22:37,500 --> 00:22:41,740
I see especially in the whiskey clubs is people say that it's too oaky or it's over. Right?

293
00:22:41,980 --> 00:22:46,300
But I mean if you love oak then it's not too over. It's not too oak

294
00:22:46,380 --> 00:22:49,740
I mean, we're all enjoying it, you know, I do any of y'all think it's too oaky

295
00:22:49,740 --> 00:22:56,300
Oh, you know, actually hold on not not yours, but let's look we've got a 16 year. What is that up there out there calamé?

296
00:22:56,860 --> 00:22:58,860
Yeah

297
00:22:59,340 --> 00:23:01,340
Did you say oak bomb?

298
00:23:02,060 --> 00:23:07,100
Nice. Yeah, we got 16 year calamé. It's completely it's it's really oaky, but it's still great. Right? Right? Yeah

299
00:23:07,260 --> 00:23:09,740
So I love that flavor, you know, I love that flavor

300
00:23:10,140 --> 00:23:15,100
but the thing is is with texas it's uh, what we refer to as like a hyper maturation process where

301
00:23:15,100 --> 00:23:19,580
In four years you get the equivalent of a 10 to 12 year, Kentucky

302
00:23:19,580 --> 00:23:24,060
Just because how different the weather is and how intense it is and cooks the shit out of the barrels

303
00:23:24,140 --> 00:23:27,660
Extreme. Yeah extreme. Yeah in both both directions, right? Right?

304
00:23:29,260 --> 00:23:33,740
Yep, exactly cold mornings and hot days, right? Right. I mean today it was beautiful this morning

305
00:23:33,740 --> 00:23:38,700
What was it like 60 degrees on the logo this morning? Then it was 92. I know as I'm driving over here

306
00:23:39,500 --> 00:23:41,980
It fascinates me. Welcome to Texas. Yeah the

307
00:23:41,980 --> 00:23:46,380
The how how the variations of flavors that the different?

308
00:23:47,180 --> 00:23:53,420
Barrels produce all under the same mash bill. Yeah, it's it's fascinating and the same wood too the same bar the same mash bill

309
00:23:53,500 --> 00:23:58,060
And the same wood, let's talk about it. So we've got the garrison brothers. This is the texas straight bourbon whiskey

310
00:23:58,060 --> 00:24:03,100
We're sampling right now single barrel right single barrel. Yep, single barrel 94 proof single barrel 94 proof

311
00:24:03,180 --> 00:24:07,340
And I gotta tell you and I think I started the podcast off kind of giving you shit a little bit because I was

312
00:24:07,340 --> 00:24:11,580
Because you know, it's a little frustrating when you're trying to buy stuff and we're like fuck fuckers and brothers

313
00:24:12,860 --> 00:24:16,700
And it no not at all. We we I we really enjoy garrison brothers

314
00:24:16,700 --> 00:24:19,260
We do it was just a price point that was kind of like we weren't

315
00:24:19,660 --> 00:24:23,820
Out of our reach at the time at the time. Yeah, but currently I mean it's still a lot

316
00:24:23,900 --> 00:24:30,060
But I mean at this time the way we buy stuff for the podcast essentially is that we go out and we procure

317
00:24:30,620 --> 00:24:32,460
And we split it three ways

318
00:24:32,460 --> 00:24:35,020
And we're much more discerning at this point where we're

319
00:24:35,020 --> 00:24:40,060
Not buying the thirty dollar each of us would buy a thirty dollar bottle every week. Yeah, that's what it was

320
00:24:40,940 --> 00:24:43,500
So we were but you could get a good bottle for thirty dollars

321
00:24:45,180 --> 00:24:51,260
I mean it was bad ones too. Yeah, but uh now we're at the point where we have a couple hundred out there

322
00:24:51,340 --> 00:24:55,900
We're like, okay, we need to be more selective. We want to get something. We really want we want to enjoy

323
00:24:55,980 --> 00:24:57,820
We'll spend more money for it

324
00:24:57,820 --> 00:25:02,380
Uh, because we'll split it three ways and even if we buy two expensive bottles, we still split it three ways

325
00:25:02,380 --> 00:25:07,740
Right, and we've done that as well and it's it's we're becoming more discerning. We know what we like. We know what we don't like

326
00:25:08,300 --> 00:25:11,740
uh, and uh, that's saying, you know, I think some of the

327
00:25:12,380 --> 00:25:17,260
Benchmark foolproof. Oh, that's outstanding. Yeah, yeah, 25 bucks. That is great

328
00:25:17,900 --> 00:25:24,940
Proof for that stuff the bottle to buy wonderful. So price point is does not necessarily equal quality correct, but uh,

329
00:25:26,060 --> 00:25:31,340
I think you really have to know that the distillers garrison brothers makes outstanding stuff

330
00:25:31,340 --> 00:25:33,980
Uh, so there's others out there

331
00:25:34,780 --> 00:25:38,540
But we have them it does not there is not good stuff out there like wow

332
00:25:38,700 --> 00:25:43,900
How do they sell this stuff? Maybe somebody likes it? I mean we don't but right, you know, we've got some really bad stuff out there

333
00:25:44,540 --> 00:25:48,300
We do so the uh, the the advertising here is garrison brother

334
00:25:49,340 --> 00:25:51,420
All of them. That's what they say. What is the one with coconut?

335
00:25:52,140 --> 00:25:56,540
Awful. Oh, well, I got it. Williamsburg. He bought that because it said it has coconut in it

336
00:25:57,820 --> 00:25:59,740
whatever and we

337
00:25:59,740 --> 00:26:03,500
What a train wreck, but do you know what the thing is is that this is how normal people's palates work

338
00:26:03,580 --> 00:26:09,660
You know, we kind of gravitate towards certain things that make sense and you know to dive into some of those rides

339
00:26:10,220 --> 00:26:14,700
Uh, you know, those are a stringent at that time. We're like, oh, it's like iberproval alcohol. I'm drinking

340
00:26:14,700 --> 00:26:18,860
It's crazy. So the weeds are softer. So yeah, I would say that newbies

341
00:26:19,580 --> 00:26:22,140
Are more hung up on some of the wheat stuff now

342
00:26:22,940 --> 00:26:25,520
We did the antithesis. We went 100 percent

343
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:32,720
100 percent wheat on the fray ranch fray ranch and I loved it. It was buttery the butter one

344
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,280
Yeah, I loved it. It was awful

345
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,680
You know, but that's an anomaly and it was what 132 proof?

346
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,680
Yeah, you know we have that out there if you want to take a little slap on it. Is that the yellow label one?

347
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:49,680
It's black label. Okay, uh, you can't find it here. I was out in Nevada. I recommend you do

348
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:55,600
The amounts i was out in Nevada where they're at and it's a it's a single grain. It's a wheat whiskey 100% wheat

349
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,600
Yeah, 100% wheat and it's it

350
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,800
It's very buttercream like

351
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,200
100 amazingly buttercream. It's like how the hell do they harness this flavor?

352
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:10,080
Yeah, I actually wouldn't mind trying it again. It shocked me so much the first time I tried it

353
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,040
Right i'll have to jump on that

354
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:16,720
It may not be may not be as bad this time around because remember I had the same response to the weird one the brazilian

355
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:21,120
The rd1 the amberana and that was very very different

356
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:21,520
Yeah

357
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:26,480
And at first I didn't like it because it was so different than anything we've ever tasted and then they tried it and they were like

358
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,760
Oh my god, that's great. I was like really and I tried it again and I was like

359
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,960
And I don't know if they like, you know, just they were shaming me into like

360
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:41,280
No, I mean, but it's it was so different but it's it's great. It is great. So anyway, so yeah, you should try the fray for sure

361
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:46,560
But let's back up to the single barrel garrison brothers, uh, the texas straight bourbon whiskey that we got

362
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,560
We want to put this in the books and we're going to rate this right? So this is a well

363
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,560
I want him to kind of speak to

364
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,880
some of the things

365
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:59,600
About this bottle the single barrel, you know, you know, you may know some things about this that

366
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,160
Regarding what the shape of it and

367
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,560
Very phallic. Oh

368
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,640
What's inside? Oh what's inside the barrel? Oh

369
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:14,080
It's not very foul the actual liquid. That's what it's like. I like the wax too. It's there square

370
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,560
It also you mean the net the match bill you want to game? No the mess well

371
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:23,040
What just what makes single barrel different from the rest? I think is what you yeah. Yeah, so

372
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:28,480
Our standard everyday sipper is our small badge bourbon, which is a batch of about 50 barrels

373
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:33,680
so donnis picks out the flavor profile that he likes for our small batch every year and

374
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,560
Essentially, he's tasting barrels every year. So

375
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:42,800
Essentially, he's tasting barrels every day to pick out the next 50 barrels to use for our small batch

376
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,520
Now when he comes across very unique barrels

377
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,720
As in his words check all the boxes

378
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,920
But don't necessarily match the profile that we want for small batch that are unique enough and have their own character

379
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,320
That's standalone and don't need to be batched together shouldn't be batched together

380
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:03,280
Those are the ones that are set to the side for our single barrel program. Now. This is our 94 proof

381
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,280
So it's the same proof as our small batch proof down to 94

382
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:13,760
Which is just that sweet spot we found with our juice specifically that you get all that flavor and the heat that you know

383
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,360
bourbon connoisseurs

384
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,440
Like especially if you can handle the oak

385
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,960
So this is one of those barrels that's been hand picked because of the flavor of it that it

386
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:28,160
Is not going to be batched together with small batch every single barrel bottle or every single barrel barrel

387
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:33,520
Uh, which the barrel number is on the side on all of them is going to be totally different and have its own flavor profile

388
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,160
I had no idea

389
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,360
When I think small batch I was thinking six

390
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:44,640
eight ten barrels fifty barrels our small batches. Yeah, so and

391
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,200
Interesting thing about 25 gallon barrels

392
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,160
No, these are 53. Yeah. Yeah

393
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:55,600
Um, but there are distilleries that are several thousand barrels for their small batch

394
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,360
Um, 50 is not a lot. It's really not wow

395
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:04,720
Look at a google put small before rose a small batch. Well, that was going to be my next question is yeah

396
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,600
Really? What is small batch? So what does that mean? I mean if it doesn't say small batch

397
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,080
if it's just

398
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:16,160
The like wild turkey 101 how many barrels make that up?

399
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,120
101 doesn't say small batch on it. That's what I mean. It's uh, unlimited

400
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,760
They probably wouldn't even tell you how many thousands of barrels may make that

401
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:30,320
Yeah, because they're they're pouring they're just dumping barrels into a giant a giant thing

402
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,520
And so small batch is relative to the distiller, correct?

403
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:40,080
so if you're a wild turkey who makes hundreds of thousands of barrels or however many they do a small batch may be

404
00:30:41,100 --> 00:30:43,100
3000 barrels, right?

405
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:44,640
For them, right?

406
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:49,360
Whereas with the garrison brothers the amount of barrels that you're currently making 50 is a small bet

407
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:54,000
Right. Well, and I and I think you keep growing maybe becomes 100 barrels

408
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,640
I've heard that some use as many as 10 000 barrels and still call it small batch

409
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:00,400
So that's why I wait, you know

410
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,600
Y'all's reaction to 50 50 is not a lot when you think about it

411
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:08,080
and especially when all of those barrels are being tasted by one person and saying

412
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:14,080
This has a profile that will batch well together to give a consistent product bottle to bottle because that's the whole thing

413
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,160
With our small batches. We want every bottle to be similar enough where you like it today

414
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:23,280
You like it next year you like the next one to me. That's a much more intimate process for a small batch

415
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,880
Yeah, compared to what you said. No one's trying 10 1000 barrels

416
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:31,600
I was gonna say how do you taste 10 000 barrels in the time frame before they start changing?

417
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,840
Because they're aging while you know, you can't do that. So the question is are they being tasted?

418
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,240
That's are they just being bad? Maybe you're just like taking this one. I'm gonna go over this one

419
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,560
Okay, that's that means all these are similar. Yeah kind of well, who knows how they're doing it

420
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:49,120
Well, and it's also uh the proof right usually small batch is higher proof

421
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,760
Right. Uh, so necessarily. I don't know

422
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:53,920
necessarily

423
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,760
Well, this is maybe on average they seem like they are more

424
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:02,960
Because I I know where you're coming from. Yeah, you know eh taylor small batch, you know hunter proof

425
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,520
But it's bottled and bond so bottle and bond is even more strict

426
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:10,640
Right, it's a whole different right but four rows is one four rows of small batches 90 proof probably too. Yeah

427
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:15,120
Yeah, I see your point, but I don't think that that's a rule. I don't think that's necessarily

428
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:20,080
Not a rule but but i'm thinking okay if they want to do a higher proof

429
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:25,520
Small batch and they want to do let's say 500 000 bottles of it

430
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:33,360
Then they're gonna pick 10 000 barrels and they're gonna leave it at the proofs that they are at or or or dilute it to a certain

431
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:38,480
You know 115. Yeah. Yeah, or something like that. I I think that's generally

432
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,520
You know like you said every discovery is different blah blah blah blah blah

433
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:47,520
But I think it's the combination of proof and the combination of how many bottles they want to make of it to determine

434
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:55,360
You know and then and then yes if it's a smaller operation that is more intimate to like literally flavor profiles and matching and shit

435
00:32:55,360 --> 00:33:00,400
Like that, which is awesome. Then yes, it's it's I mean because uh 1845

436
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:05,200
1845 is the same way they they do six barrels is a small batch, right?

437
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:10,800
Yeah, six. Yeah, well everyone has a nomination because they're tiny they're tiny and they know that they're going to make

438
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:17,600
60 bottles. Yeah, right as compared to you know, what what garrison brothers? I mean, yeah is a lot right?

439
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:22,960
So well look uh all in all, uh, we're really enjoying garrison brothers more now than ever just

440
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,360
I'm kind of over that hump of uh the disappointment from just you know

441
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:31,680
I'm being scarred with the pain of the money because like you said we were not used to spending that much

442
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,360
But now we're at a point where like god bless it

443
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:40,720
You know what quality means something it does it does so the garrison brother single brother bourbon is proof that each barrel is special

444
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,480
Whether you are trying a single barrel cast strength or 94 proof

445
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:49,040
You'll experience the differences in each barrel caused by the interaction of each american white oak barrel

446
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:54,240
The searing texas climate and the juice inside means that no two barrels of bourbon will exactly

447
00:33:54,640 --> 00:34:00,640
Uh be alike each barrel of garrison brother single barrel has aged for at least three years in the searing texas heat

448
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,800
Soaking up a unique set of notes and flavors from the new american white oak barrel

449
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:09,920
Uh, that's straight off the website. Uh, this is what we're drinking guys. Let's rate this thing. All right

450
00:34:10,780 --> 00:34:16,100
Fantastic. Yeah, I have to say that again. We have a lot of 90s 95

451
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,720
uh proof bourbons out there and a lot of the comments that we typically take is

452
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,040
because we're used to the

453
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,040
115 120 130

454
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,440
Have you guys described that to james the the level level? No, no, but no

455
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,440
Okay, but what i'm gonna say is

456
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,000
There's a lot of flavor in there. Oh, yeah

457
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:40,320
We have a lot that are that we drink are like it's like drinking tea or whatever

458
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,200
It's not like this. This is very you could chew this

459
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:49,040
Uh, it's oily. It's good. It's rich. It is rich and it's like

460
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:56,720
Usually you have to count on a whiskey being higher proof to be able to extrapolate and pull out these flavors

461
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,040
and the fact that you guys

462
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,160
can

463
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:06,480
Can pull those flavors out through a 94 proof. Yep is phenomenal. So if we were to classify that

464
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,160
uh

465
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:14,480
there are different scoring systems that we have that we're starting to keep track of because rating 132

466
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,000
Rating a hazmat in 130 120

467
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,240
15 whatever you got

468
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:23,200
It those are all different levels and different levels of appreciation

469
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:27,760
Uh when you get to the little overs like jeff said the texas, uh tx whiskey fuck man

470
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,600
You could drink that shit. It's like freaking you know pop an ice cube in there. It's an ice tea

471
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,600
I think you were drinking the uh

472
00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:36,720
What's the one you were just you had like five glasses of it

473
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,080
You know, and he's like this is so easy

474
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:47,040
And james that was our challenge so we were trying to compare the rating of this one and the rating of this one

475
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:53,280
Well, this is a 90 proof. We have lower expectations for its richness and whatever but for a 90 proof

476
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,560
If you compare it to other 90 proofs, yeah, this one's really really good

477
00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:00,080
Yeah, yeah, that's what we were struggling. I I put this in

478
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,800
We got to put it in the in the 90 proof. I tell you and I don't give them

479
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,520
I don't give very high grades, but i'm gonna go ahead and start us off

480
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,200
This one is a 9.0

481
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:17,360
A 9.0 for for the category that it's at but the category that we're putting it on because of the proof

482
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,060
Yeah, yeah, but in fact I would i'm gonna venture to do 9.2

483
00:36:21,060 --> 00:36:27,380
Wow, that's good. It's high because honestly at 94 proof. I don't think have you ever had one

484
00:36:27,460 --> 00:36:30,020
That's better at 94 proof. We had the mickters 10

485
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:34,660
Which I believe is 95 noted. Yeah, and this is

486
00:36:35,460 --> 00:36:38,740
Damn near as good as that. We almost drank the whole damn bottle and not

487
00:36:39,300 --> 00:36:44,680
Not aged anywhere near as long right? Yeah. Shout out to brian from san francisco

488
00:36:45,140 --> 00:36:47,140
san diego

489
00:36:47,140 --> 00:36:53,220
Diego shame thing is sailor. Well, I put thanks for that put this right up there with that because I would uh

490
00:36:54,500 --> 00:36:59,480
The mickters 10 is outstanding. This is outstanding. I'm right up there with him right there about the 899

491
00:37:00,100 --> 00:37:01,220
For this

492
00:37:01,220 --> 00:37:05,780
A lot of our stuff we were given like what we have last week. We gave it. We're not saying that because you're here

493
00:37:06,340 --> 00:37:08,340
I was gonna say don't say something

494
00:37:09,780 --> 00:37:12,100
I would hope not my rating is a 2.8

495
00:37:12,100 --> 00:37:15,860
But but we also have to because we do that sometimes where I don't know if it's pressure

496
00:37:16,660 --> 00:37:22,180
Because even though I don't like it if I don't like it. I'm not going to give it something. I think sometimes we phone

497
00:37:22,660 --> 00:37:26,180
Pray to that where we're like, well, I don't want a bad mouth this right, right?

498
00:37:26,580 --> 00:37:30,420
So but all the palettes are a little different. Oh, yeah, and

499
00:37:31,380 --> 00:37:36,500
There is some that they like that I don't like and i'm a much lower, you know, they call you're a dick

500
00:37:36,900 --> 00:37:39,380
All that smoky shit. Oh, yeah, that's actually true

501
00:37:39,380 --> 00:37:43,300
No, he's a pansy. Yeah, all that like the the balcony is brimstone. That's like

502
00:37:44,340 --> 00:37:50,740
I love that right now. Yeah, they like it. I can't like it. He didn't like the fray wheat. We loved it, right? So

503
00:37:51,540 --> 00:37:56,420
Our palettes are very curious. I'm the only one that has liked everything. Oh, that's

504
00:37:57,140 --> 00:38:01,380
Problematic. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So is everything a 9.2?

505
00:38:02,820 --> 00:38:04,820
No, no, no

506
00:38:04,820 --> 00:38:06,980
I'm straightly picky on what I with I

507
00:38:06,980 --> 00:38:15,140
I'm true. I'm true to what i'm voting for and i'll shoot from the hip. This has tremendous flavor

508
00:38:15,700 --> 00:38:18,100
hats off well, I think I think what you

509
00:38:18,980 --> 00:38:25,380
You said exactly what I was saying before is like the hyper maturation process when you're comparing it to 10 year mickters

510
00:38:25,780 --> 00:38:31,460
And this is three years probably three to four years. It's a very flattering comparison and it's very similar

511
00:38:31,460 --> 00:38:38,020
Oh, I know. I love well, I mean the the 10 years mickters wasn't microwaved in a rick house in texas. Yeah, but that's the effect

512
00:38:38,100 --> 00:38:40,100
You get is you can get that flavor level

513
00:38:40,420 --> 00:38:43,540
Yeah, and a fraction of the time because of how intense it is

514
00:38:43,620 --> 00:38:47,460
But you have to do it right here because you can't just you know, willy-nilly do it

515
00:38:47,460 --> 00:38:55,060
There's a certain level of love that goes into every single product and this is i'm super excited that we got to sample this

516
00:38:55,460 --> 00:39:00,180
I'm super excited that we have the opportunity to pick up that hazmat cowboy wink wink

517
00:39:00,180 --> 00:39:06,500
Well, we need to get with uh, stan and kevin so we need to let me when it comes in we need a text

518
00:39:07,060 --> 00:39:13,300
Yeah, I I will say this about uh the single barrel here. It it is it's outstanding start to finish

519
00:39:13,780 --> 00:39:18,420
That is sometimes we have a weak nose, you know, we've got a a harsh finish

520
00:39:18,980 --> 00:39:22,100
This is start to finish and i'm going to echo you i'm going to go with nine two

521
00:39:23,060 --> 00:39:24,420
perfect

522
00:39:24,420 --> 00:39:27,460
Yeah, no, and it's hard to expect the asshole. Yeah

523
00:39:27,460 --> 00:39:33,060
Yeah, you know throughout the high and the low. Did you say a score? Did you say nine? Yes, nine. Okay, so yeah

524
00:39:34,100 --> 00:39:36,100
Yeah

525
00:39:37,540 --> 00:39:39,620
Yeah, no, it's excellent

526
00:39:39,620 --> 00:39:41,620
Outstanding out. Yeah

527
00:39:41,700 --> 00:39:46,020
exactly, so look, uh, I want to do a a shout out to

528
00:39:46,900 --> 00:39:50,820
Um some folks out there on the east coast with these hurricanes are coming in there

529
00:39:50,820 --> 00:39:55,540
So if you're listening to the podcast in a week or something just know that there are some people out there

530
00:39:55,540 --> 00:40:00,580
We we want to send some love because there's some horrific stuff going on, you know, dude

531
00:40:00,580 --> 00:40:04,260
I I will tell you at my office it we were obsessed with you know

532
00:40:04,260 --> 00:40:08,020
Like everybody was giving updates like it's in the gulf and it's supposed to hit tampa bay

533
00:40:08,100 --> 00:40:13,620
First time it's gonna hit tampa bay head on since 1914 or something crazy. I mean that's incorrect you would well, right?

534
00:40:13,780 --> 00:40:18,340
Yeah, you know what? DeSantis did a great job today. Um in one of his uh,

535
00:40:18,900 --> 00:40:20,900
When he was on the on the tv

536
00:40:20,900 --> 00:40:28,340
He was talking about how they're rating or comparing this hurricane in the in the the milton one and he was like look guys

537
00:40:28,740 --> 00:40:34,020
We've gone through hurricanes like this before, you know when they turn around and say this is one in a hundred years

538
00:40:34,820 --> 00:40:39,060
Bitch, please. It's not well, they're doing it like they're doing it for sensationalism. Yeah, right

539
00:40:39,060 --> 00:40:41,380
That's what the journalists do and that's the whole thing

540
00:40:41,380 --> 00:40:42,740
I kind of wanted to dry this out

541
00:40:42,740 --> 00:40:49,060
I was going to totally flip this podcast upside down and I wanted to talk about the the idiocy of uh,

542
00:40:49,060 --> 00:40:55,060
Of the mainstream media right now and how they're trying to turn this this political event with you know

543
00:40:55,060 --> 00:41:00,020
Kamala harris talking to de santas and they're like I called him he didn't answer his phone

544
00:41:00,260 --> 00:41:03,300
You know and it's like they're going back and forth. It's like how retarded is this?

545
00:41:03,300 --> 00:41:09,620
Well, now what the santa's had a great comeback. He goes i've been in communication with the president. That's right. Yeah

546
00:41:11,060 --> 00:41:14,100
He's like she doesn't play a role in this. Yeah, she has no

547
00:41:15,620 --> 00:41:17,220
Like totally ouch

548
00:41:17,220 --> 00:41:20,340
Yeah, it's just like, you know, take a backseat bitch. I mean, what are you doing?

549
00:41:20,420 --> 00:41:25,540
What are you doing? You know, and then you're gonna hold yourself accountable. What are what is fema doing? Are they really?

550
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,940
Preventing uh help are they really preventing uh, elon musk is uh,

551
00:41:30,580 --> 00:41:32,020
Starlink stuff from getting in there

552
00:41:32,020 --> 00:41:38,180
Are they really preventing I mean because they they were showing like videos of these helicopters all lined out and they weren't doing shit

553
00:41:38,260 --> 00:41:44,340
And they've got thousands and thousands of pounds of of water and supplies that need to be shipped out and they're just sitting there

554
00:41:44,740 --> 00:41:46,740
Right. I mean, what is true?

555
00:41:46,740 --> 00:41:51,300
I don't know. Is it like a 30 second video and then right after that they all take they're all 30 second videos

556
00:41:51,380 --> 00:41:56,180
But my my point is it always my point is that you never know what the hell you're looking at

557
00:41:56,260 --> 00:41:58,260
You don't know what's true. You don't know what's right

558
00:41:59,060 --> 00:42:04,100
But the point is the point is the mainstream media is stirring up shit. Nobody wants to hear that crap right now

559
00:42:04,180 --> 00:42:08,740
Yeah, there's like a million millions of people that are dealing with serious problems

560
00:42:08,740 --> 00:42:11,780
You know what I want to say and we don't want to deal with that bullshit

561
00:42:11,780 --> 00:42:16,820
I wanted kamala to say hey look, uh, I didn't I was unable to get in touch with uh, governor de santas

562
00:42:17,300 --> 00:42:21,700
And and I can imagine he's busy. Yeah, I imagine he's busy and we were all praying from him

563
00:42:21,780 --> 00:42:24,340
Uh from every all of our our citizen seats

564
00:42:24,500 --> 00:42:28,340
Yeah, you know and we're trying to make stuff work out there. Why can't we be adult?

565
00:42:28,420 --> 00:42:32,020
Yeah, it's just like, you know, they turned into an opportunity. It's just so frustrating

566
00:42:32,100 --> 00:42:38,580
Anyways, that that was the uh, the hurricanes going on strong right now and there's mudslides in florida in florida. No up in uh,

567
00:42:38,580 --> 00:42:45,380
Uh, you know georgia. Oh, yeah. I mean, it's just like this crazy stuff and isn't there like a third one coming in that's kind of

568
00:42:46,020 --> 00:42:47,540
There's another one

569
00:42:47,540 --> 00:42:50,100
Being tracked. I don't think they well, there's always yeah

570
00:42:50,420 --> 00:42:56,340
I thought it was interesting that it was interesting that it was what how you say helini helene helene helene

571
00:42:56,660 --> 00:43:02,740
All right. Helena helene was h helena, right helene was h and then all of a sudden milton came along

572
00:43:02,820 --> 00:43:07,560
I was like, what is their wikipedia helena? Well, I was like what the fuck happened to ijkl

573
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,360
I don't turn anything

574
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:15,400
Or they go somewhere else. Yeah, right. So it's each my that's my point though. Those those are

575
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,960
Those did happen and they were in the middle of the atlantic and they weren't causing any problems

576
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,160
I mean, so the point is there was always during hurricane season

577
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:29,560
It is a it's a machine like the earth is like producing these things. Oh like like crazy those vibrations

578
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,440
Look, there's there's there's frequencies that are going through there

579
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:39,800
There's like this polarity of electrical lightning striking every it's like jostling the whole oh the moon is ringing like everything moon's ringing

580
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,800
Like a bell like crystal skulls

581
00:43:45,240 --> 00:43:50,600
Yes, that's sean's theory that the moon has a bell in it it's hollowed that is not true

582
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:55,240
Did you know the moon? No, all i'm saying is that they verify you didn't know that

583
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,160
Take it back

584
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,920
It's like what i got myself into i'll tell you what what i have he's like can we talk about burton?

585
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:08,440
I'll tell you what i have been seeing that I think florida is going to be impacted by this

586
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:10,920
I think the news is is

587
00:44:10,980 --> 00:44:17,880
Contributing to this is there's a lot of people now moving out of florida because moving out or evacuating moving out

588
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:23,240
Because it's becoming extremely expensive to live there and we're gonna and who's gonna live there

589
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,720
Right, and who's gonna go move there who's gonna soak up all that property?

590
00:44:27,720 --> 00:44:31,480
Oh, I have a friend in houston who was saying that that's just every year

591
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,040
Well, we replace their fence on the roof every year hurricane season

592
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:38,920
Yeah, i'm talking about we're talking about the population like if people if they leave out of there

593
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:43,960
Imagine who's gonna go there. No one's leaving. I don't believe it. Okay, let's well

594
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:49,160
Well, I heard that there's a lot of folks from new york who moved down there. They're moving back step into

595
00:44:49,700 --> 00:44:54,840
California moving back. Well, haven't you all seen seinfeld? Isn't that where everybody from new york goes when they retire?

596
00:44:54,840 --> 00:45:00,680
They go to work. There's snow bodies that are that are arizona some of the conspiracy theories that are coming out and this is

597
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:08,200
Absurd as I think it is they're they're they're in city winning absurd. So I know look look this is you heard a harp, right?

598
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:13,240
Seed planting stuff, you know with the cloud seeding. Oh god here we go

599
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:18,520
I mean I don't subscribe to this. I'm just simply saying that you know right now

600
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:25,960
There is a campaign from some folk out there that think that as a result of this technology of harp

601
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:31,640
They're trying to rain havoc down on florida get those folks to move out. So who can move in?

602
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:37,960
That is the dumbest thing i've ever yes, that's what i'm saying. I have heard it meaning they're seeding

603
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:42,760
They're seeding clouds over the gulf of mexico to make it form a category five hurricane

604
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:47,880
They know somehow somehow they're steering it towards uh, california. I mean florida

605
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:52,760
I mean really really well, I mean look come on bro

606
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:58,120
Anybody who believes that is not giving mother nature playing any any respect doubles advocate

607
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,520
I will say that if you have a

608
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,440
a uh a a hurricane that's coming in yeah, and

609
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:10,680
It's in a category one one and a half and you start feeding it all that. What is that silver?

610
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:16,840
What should this shoot up? They shoot some chemical up in there. That's a silver nitrate silver or something

611
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:21,480
They're spraying old williamsburg old williamsburg all over the hurricane and hold on

612
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:27,240
Let me look I don't believe this at all at all at all literally at all if you if you could appreciate for a

613
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:33,800
second the the the amount of energy that it takes to produce and sustain

614
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:41,500
Silver iodide is a common seeding agent used in cloud seeding to create ice crystals and increase precipitation

615
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:45,240
Now is that possible? Yes, are they doing this to create if they're doing this to?

616
00:46:45,240 --> 00:46:47,560
Chase people out of florida. There'd be one every week

617
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:50,600
boom boom boom

618
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:55,960
Not two or one a year, right and they're like they're like they're like damn it. We're making them too fast slow down

619
00:46:55,960 --> 00:47:00,920
Slow down you're making it too obvious. Damn it bobby, right? Right. That is absurd

620
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,160
Who are they saying is going to move into these places?

621
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:08,920
Well, I mean what they're saying is that they're just going to open up for the dems to come in and kind of uh take over

622
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:14,360
Like put a bunch of illegal aliens. They're trying to win florida back. I mean they could move there now

623
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:20,200
Why well they are they're being dropped off there. Well, no, I mean throughout the years. It's it's turned

624
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,920
Red bright red. Yeah, it used to be a purple state now. It's a red state

625
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:30,760
Yeah, and it's bright red because the santa's is doing a fantastic job. He really is very happy. They're very happy there

626
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,320
He really is he's doing good, but I think people are

627
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:38,520
I'm not saying it's gonna be a mass exit, but there are gonna be I think higher than normal because

628
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:41,320
These places get wiped out

629
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:45,800
And then the insurance is too expensive or they don't get insured at all

630
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:50,440
Oh, the insurance is is is out of I mean you have to have insurance in your house

631
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,640
You have to have insurance in your car. There there's certain things you have to have

632
00:47:53,640 --> 00:48:00,280
It's more like liability purposes that it serves not from natural disasters, but to be able to accommodate your

633
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,680
policy or

634
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:09,640
to get a policy that is actually going to protect you from those perils of storms and and you know

635
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:14,440
Just coming in and flooding there. Those are two different things. Right? It's so expensive

636
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:18,120
I just saw an article the other day saying that it's normal for

637
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:25,800
Flood insurance to go up in places that get hit by hurricanes 20% every year that that's like the expected norm is 20% every year

638
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:29,320
So you're right. I mean, I guess it could get to the point where it's like we've loved to say

639
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:33,400
I mean, I'm sure everybody who loved that that lives in Florida loves Florida, right? I guarantee

640
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:38,280
Oh, yeah, right. There's so much right just like California. They love it's beautiful a beautiful place

641
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:43,000
They love it's beautiful abuse like Texas worn out beautiful. Yeah, the guy I've worn out

642
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:47,240
So I guess they can reach a point where it's like we'd love to stay but we literally cannot afford

643
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:51,800
Right. And I think that's where they're kind of getting to the real rebuild process

644
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:55,080
Plus the guy I saw be an interview he goes I'm getting too old for this

645
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,960
I don't want to deal with it anymore. There's people that that that

646
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:03,960
They work their entire life. They're like they've got that dream from the Seinfeld where they're coming down from New York

647
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,800
They've they've saved their entire life. They have their whole retirement. They go down there

648
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:12,760
They they set up shop and they have their home. They get it just the way they like it. It's small

649
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:17,800
It's for the two of them. It's a little lovebird fest in there a little it's right on the ocean

650
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,000
It's there you got the optics and all of a sudden

651
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:26,360
Asshole hurricane shows up hurricane asshole the first first hurricane of the season

652
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:31,800
Oh, whatever it is. It just comes in it just farts on their freaking retirement and they've got no money

653
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:37,400
They they've invested in all their retirement. So at this point now, they're kind of like people look at them

654
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:41,880
Uh, you're a fucking loser. What are you? It's like bitch. I worked my entire life

655
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:47,960
For what i've got and I just lost it all right lost it all you know why because

656
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,600
I was ignorant and didn't know

657
00:49:51,240 --> 00:49:53,400
How to buy the correct insurance policy

658
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,120
right because they were so

659
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,960
Amped up to sell me something that's going to make me just

660
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:05,320
You know buy the house and get it whatever buy your property get it going and you think you're protected

661
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:10,280
You think you're protected it's kind of like you know, and I look in and I am throwing stones at the insurance companies

662
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:15,240
I think that's I think the correct word is obfuscation. You know, it's kind of like it's bells and whistles

663
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:19,480
You know you hey look we is this covered. Yeah, that's covered. This is covered

664
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:20,280
Yes, that's covered

665
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:24,360
But when you look at the fine print it is covered and it's only covered under a b and c

666
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,480
And hurricane ain't on that fucking number or letter, you know

667
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:32,200
It's like it in other words the only time they call them because they need something they're told no

668
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:38,040
No, sorry, it's not covered. It's frustrating to see it's frustrating to hear these stories

669
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:42,040
And I just think that there could there's a better system out there

670
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:45,560
You know what they should do gotta be they should move to tornado rally here in dallas

671
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:50,680
Well, look, I mean there's the the other side of this is that you've got like new orleans where

672
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:54,280
Katrina came in and fucking broke the dyke and shit just drawn out

673
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:58,680
I mean look and the people are kind of like from the united states, but don't fucking live in a flood zone

674
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:03,160
You dumbass. No, no, no, don't build a city under sea level under sea. Yeah, there you go, dude

675
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:08,120
Dude, I think that the french engineer that built that thing. I mean they should dig him up and just punch him in shit

676
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:09,800
I mean because it was bad

677
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:15,720
Yeah, that was bad who does that who builds a city under? Yeah, but they did know they didn't know oh they didn't

678
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:19,960
I mean, they're french. They're french. Oh, we're gonna fuck these guys over

679
00:51:21,720 --> 00:51:23,400
At some point we'll sell it to the americans

680
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:30,600
Yeah, but the thing is is that florida's kind of falling into that same ball of wax that new orleans is it's kind of like

681
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:32,760
Why do you want to like?

682
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,160
You know, I think part of the challenge is to live there

683
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:40,520
Well, I think that's part of the challenge is you have these people who who the population is so much more

684
00:51:41,240 --> 00:51:45,720
So when these storms hit it impacts so much more people sure

685
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:48,600
Just like up when it hit georgia

686
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:52,680
Or north carolina that whole area, you know, there's people

687
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:58,760
That have lived there, but now it's populous more than it has been much more impacted

688
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:03,960
So instead of it impacting, you know, 100 families it impacted 10 000 families

689
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:10,780
And that's you know what every area has got its issues, right? How many times we hear about california wildfires mudslides

690
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:16,440
Uh, well, no, it's well, it's because earthquakes. Well, they also get cut there because all these people are like, oh I want a

691
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:21,160
A house in the hills, right? Right, and you know, their insurance got to be crazy expensive

692
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:27,240
Well, you don't hear about the wildfires in los angeles. It's all the wildfires fires in the mountains where people are moving to

693
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,680
Don't live in the fucking mountains. Well, it kind of like brings to

694
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:35,960
Yeah, I don't want to live there either the smog cloud above that city is the nastiest thing i've ever seen

695
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:43,240
It kind of brings to the light of some of the events that occurred in hawaii maui where they've got all this like weird laser

696
00:52:43,240 --> 00:52:46,680
Thing that they're they're like, oh, no, it's a volcano. What the fuck is that out?

697
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,720
It's a volcano. No, i'm talking about when an oprah

698
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:54,600
Winfrey's where she was at how the fire that broke out there that just

699
00:52:55,240 --> 00:53:01,240
Stormed through the island, you know, it just killed a bunch of people and damaged like thousands and thousands of acres

700
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:07,800
They look lost there was a conspiracy theory that it was a laser that started that fire. Yeah, you didn't hear they both look lost

701
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:10,920
I heard that one

702
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:17,400
A laser I don't follow that that uh, what is it called a direct energy weapon or something do something like that?

703
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:22,920
Oh from an alien. No like from a satellite like starling type shit or whatever. This was a

704
00:53:23,720 --> 00:53:30,920
But look the thing is is that there there were there were a lot of heat anomalies that weren't directed energy weapon

705
00:53:31,720 --> 00:53:33,720
solid projectile lasers

706
00:53:33,720 --> 00:53:40,760
I heard this conspiracy and then the people like oprah wanted all the those poor people to leave because this was prime real estate

707
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:42,760
And so let's just burn them out

708
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:47,480
But that's they're gone now aren't they let's burn them out and then the government went in there and seized their property because they

709
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:53,320
Couldn't pay their freaking rent uh bill or the is that for real mortgage? Yeah, absolutely 100%

710
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:59,720
So now the rich people own all that land. Well, it went back to the city or it went back to so they're not rebuilding any of that

711
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:01,560
no

712
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:06,440
No, google it if you can I mean we won't find it because they're not talking about it

713
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:12,200
But that's exactly what happened. But all those people I don't believe in the whole do thing. I don't know. I don't know

714
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:18,840
It is the point is the what the do the direct energy weapon? I don't believe that but the the whole thing is that there's

715
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:24,680
She's not that powerful. Bullshit. I don't think it's an oprah that you don't know. I don't think so

716
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:29,000
I'm imagining oprah. She's sitting in her she's sitting here on her lounge chair

717
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:34,760
Oh in her major. Yeah, she's on the phone and they're like, okay, man. We've got everything lined up like michelle

718
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:40,280
She has a button right there. Yeah, be like ma'am. Do we have the permission to fire? Uh, you know what?

719
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:41,880
Give me a minute

720
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:46,040
Well, she's my time dicks with michelle obama and p diddy, you know

721
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:51,240
I go ahead and fire the laser guys. Did you guys hear about the the p diddy stuff and all that weird shit that's going on?

722
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:53,080
Oh, gee

723
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,720
There's a lot of it wasn't like oprah hanging out with diddy

724
00:54:55,720 --> 00:54:59,640
Sean puffy combs or whatever the track his name is the list will come out eventually

725
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:05,480
Yeah, but first of all, let's let's I mean to chat about the the the p diddy stuff for a second

726
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:09,640
I mean you had we I think we talked about this last podcast or a one before yeah

727
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:14,280
Regarding that you had what is it? It wasn't the the the national security

728
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:18,440
But what was it was the fbi and somebody else? Oh, they waited his house hardcore man

729
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:24,920
Yeah, they took out a bunch of stuff. They found almost a thousand dildos. They found like 10,000 bottles of oil

730
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:28,360
Yeah, and that's what they were looking for and here's another conspiracy theory

731
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:34,520
There are some people are saying that the baby oil was of clues with g infuse with g hb

732
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:41,880
What is g hp g hp is a date bearer? It's a date rape drug. They want a very compliant. God. Yes

733
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:44,680
Hey his birthday's coming up

734
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:49,020
Yeah, they're bill cosby that off of bill cosby.com

735
00:55:49,020 --> 00:55:52,940
Um, yeah, it's the spanish fly spanish fly

736
00:55:55,100 --> 00:55:57,100
It could treat uh narcolepsy though

737
00:55:57,180 --> 00:56:02,460
Hey, there's just as many interviews of people saying shit like that. Like what cosby said about the spanish fly

738
00:56:02,540 --> 00:56:07,420
There's just as many people saying shit like that about diddy party. So yeah, well, it's great

739
00:56:07,420 --> 00:56:12,140
They've dug up stuff from years ago of people saying oh, yeah, we can't we can't talk about that

740
00:56:12,380 --> 00:56:15,340
How did that go under wraps for so long money?

741
00:56:15,340 --> 00:56:19,580
It's like harvey weinstein and all his shenanigans going on einstein or

742
00:56:21,180 --> 00:56:24,860
Both of them now both of them all that weinstein too. How does it go on for so long?

743
00:56:24,860 --> 00:56:30,540
Well, because people wanted to continue and they keep and they're in the loop. Yeah, they keep it out of the news

744
00:56:30,620 --> 00:56:36,220
I heard somebody breaking down that the epstein thing was much more of a political figure

745
00:56:36,700 --> 00:56:38,860
list and elite like people who

746
00:56:39,500 --> 00:56:44,540
Had the power that that's why he was killed because there was like a whole talk of if he's did

747
00:56:44,540 --> 00:56:51,740
He's gonna get killed in prison because of that and that that scene was much more of a liability because of the political political figure aspect

748
00:56:51,900 --> 00:56:57,660
Whereas with diddy it's celebrities. It's hollywood. It's you know, i'm not gonna say well there's a lot of talking about federal judges

749
00:56:57,660 --> 00:57:04,460
Yeah, and police chiefs and shit like that. I've freaking presidents, right trump and the apple guy. What's his name? Who freaking knows?

750
00:57:05,260 --> 00:57:09,660
Steve jobs. Yeah, not steve jobs the other guy bill gates. Yeah, bill gates bill gates

751
00:57:10,620 --> 00:57:12,860
He is uh microsoft. Sorry close is uh

752
00:57:12,860 --> 00:57:16,140
Yeah, that's adjacent. It's apple adjacent. Yeah

753
00:57:17,100 --> 00:57:19,100
Whatever computers

754
00:57:20,540 --> 00:57:24,540
But you know, but i'm gonna say this though, I think I said it last time we had this conversation it

755
00:57:24,940 --> 00:57:28,460
It's not fair to say that anybody who went to p diddy's party

756
00:57:29,260 --> 00:57:33,580
Was like on that side. It's a mansion right fair. It's a massive mansion

757
00:57:34,060 --> 00:57:36,540
Probably the crazy kinky shit was happening over here

758
00:57:36,700 --> 00:57:42,140
The illegal that's what the illegal sex slave stuff was happening over here and the crate the normal people, right?

759
00:57:42,140 --> 00:57:46,220
Because what's his name was at one of the parties who's who's the guy that uh,

760
00:57:46,940 --> 00:57:48,940
Uh shit, come on. Uh

761
00:57:50,140 --> 00:57:51,180
Oh

762
00:57:51,180 --> 00:57:56,540
cat williams had a joke about it where he talked about williams he talked about walking past a room and being like

763
00:57:56,940 --> 00:57:59,260
Turning his head and be like what are they doing in there? Yeah

764
00:57:59,980 --> 00:58:01,980
And at those kind of parties going there

765
00:58:02,780 --> 00:58:09,500
He was like he's like the he's like the epitome of like, you know, respectable black actors in in hollywood denzel denzel

766
00:58:09,500 --> 00:58:15,740
Oh how he was jz he was avoiding jz. No, but denzel was there and denzel that they have witnesses

767
00:58:15,900 --> 00:58:20,860
Like where denzel's screaming at p diddy you have no i've not heard that you have no respect for these people

768
00:58:21,180 --> 00:58:26,380
So he basically was walking around at his party and he'd been like dude. He didn't get invited back

769
00:58:26,540 --> 00:58:30,620
What the god so i've got further on that denzel washington thing

770
00:58:30,620 --> 00:58:36,780
So you have jz who was tied in into that whatever that organization is with bianca and look it's

771
00:58:36,780 --> 00:58:39,100
It's controversial because you know

772
00:58:39,500 --> 00:58:42,860
Nobody knows what's true anymore. All you do is you pick it up all the shit somewhere

773
00:58:42,860 --> 00:58:45,980
But the buzz is is that when there's videos of all that? Yeah

774
00:58:45,980 --> 00:58:51,820
Well, I mean that there's denzel washington where jz was trying to get his attention and denzel physically removed his hand

775
00:58:52,300 --> 00:58:58,780
And pushed him away. Yeah, it didn't even give him eye contact because denzel's a class act man as much as we can tell

776
00:58:58,780 --> 00:59:00,300
Yeah, no

777
00:59:00,300 --> 00:59:06,140
And so in the videos like you said apparently diddy had a bunch of blackmail videos and recorded all of this

778
00:59:06,140 --> 00:59:11,740
So that's why all these people haven't spoken out for so many because apparently this shit's been going on since like the freaking early 90s

779
00:59:11,740 --> 00:59:17,740
I saw a video it was on i've been here and it was a guy who was at the party and he said that

780
00:59:18,780 --> 00:59:22,300
Uh, he came across the door and he's either slipped

781
00:59:22,300 --> 00:59:23,660
I can't remember how he got down there

782
00:59:23,660 --> 00:59:26,780
But he put his phone up next to the door to record it because he heard what was going on

783
00:59:26,780 --> 00:59:32,140
Oh, no, and he was playing this audio. I don't know if it's real or not, but it was body slapping and two

784
00:59:32,140 --> 00:59:37,260
I've heard that audio. Yeah, I know what you're talking about two dudes. I guess it was p diddy and some other rapper guy

785
00:59:39,260 --> 00:59:41,900
It was a meek mill. I think it was meek mill. I think so. Yeah

786
00:59:42,860 --> 00:59:45,180
And he was playing this audio. I'm just like

787
00:59:45,820 --> 00:59:47,340
Oh my god

788
00:59:47,340 --> 00:59:52,060
Yeah, you just it's no you don't you don't see anything but you know what's going on kind of a thing

789
00:59:52,060 --> 00:59:55,660
No, well, you want to know the fucked up part and this could be a topic for part two is

790
00:59:55,660 --> 01:00:02,060
AI is getting scary where it's like now you don't even know what's real and when it's just audio video alone

791
01:00:02,060 --> 01:00:05,820
I mean the level of AI and video is scary and it's getting scarier

792
01:00:05,820 --> 01:00:12,860
But audio you don't really know granted it could sound you know, people do great impressions, you know, yeah. Yep. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah

793
01:00:13,580 --> 01:00:19,660
I know these guys know I don't trust anything on the internet, right anything. Yeah until I could verify or or what so

794
01:00:20,140 --> 01:00:22,940
Yeah, it's funny. You you're like immediately dismissive

795
01:00:22,940 --> 01:00:29,900
Instantaneously dismissive i'm like dude we were together when I took that picture like that's real like we were really at that blah blah blah

796
01:00:29,900 --> 01:00:31,900
It's like that's fake. We went there

797
01:00:32,860 --> 01:00:37,660
Well, there's a lot of like what you mentioned cat williams cat william has a lot of uh

798
01:00:38,940 --> 01:00:41,900

Uh, he was talking about his experience with oprah in a bunch of high star things

804
01:01:01,100 --> 01:01:07,020
And he was like he didn't want to suck dick. That's kind of what a bull down to he didn't want to do these homosexual or uh

805
01:01:07,740 --> 01:01:12,460
Uh, ungodly things at these parties and said he would go to a ditty party hang out with them have fun and stuff like but don't

806
01:01:12,460 --> 01:01:14,700
Fucking go to the bedrooms because you walk in one of those bedrooms

807
01:01:14,700 --> 01:01:17,820
It's kind of like boom and he said he turned down like 50 million dollars

808
01:01:17,820 --> 01:01:22,700
And he said he turned down like 50 million dollars twice or something. Yeah, that's like that. That was in january

809
01:01:22,860 --> 01:01:26,220
