That's my goal is to 44 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 3: just create cool stuff to kind of tell the story 45 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 3: in a different fashion and kind of rope in and 46 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 3: tell baseball and whiskey story. So with with our All 47 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 3: Star bottle there, it's actually a world record that it's 48 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 3: the largest blend of whiskey and the history of whiskey. 49 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 3: So oh wow, okay, we uh fifty one percent of 50 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 3: the juice in theirs ours and then we went to 51 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 3: every major league market and got a barrel from the 52 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 3: craft distiller there. 53 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: So okay, So if you're a baseball nerd, and I 54 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: consider myself a baseball nerd, this is like the coolest 55 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: thing imaginable. 56 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 4: We would hope some. 57 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: Drew Storin is with us. Now. We were talking before 58 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: you came on the air, because I just asked, you know, hey, 59 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 1: how's business doing. You said something that I didn't even 60 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: think of. The whiskey market is becoming super competitive because 61 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: of the weight loss drugs. 62 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 4: Yep, oh yeah, you got. 63 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 3: You have a combination of, you know, the younger generation 64 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 3: that doesn't drink as much. And I partially believe some 65 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 3: of that is because as they didn't go through the 66 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 3: normal college experience of learning to drink at a bar. 67 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 3: But so hopefully some of those current college kids pick 68 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 3: up for it. But yeah, you see with the older 69 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 3: adults now, the influx of the golp ones, it's certainly 70 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 3: the whole market's down. 71 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 4: But yeah, it just makes I never. 72 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: Would have thought of that being a problem for a 73 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: whiskey owner. 74 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, but which you know, to me, like I think 75 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 3: the people that are on those drugs when they tend 76 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 3: to drink, I mean, we'll tend to go more towards 77 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 3: the spirit side. I'd like to think that maybe beers 78 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 3: might be getting a little bit of a haircut. But 79 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 3: you know, again, for us, it's actually worked out better 80 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 3: because production wise, we've been able to move everything down 81 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 3: to Barts Sound in Kentucky because the market is slowed down. 82 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 4: So I've been there and we live down there. 83 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, phenomenal facility, super modern and you know, great people 84 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 3: will work with. So for us, when I first started, 85 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 3: that was my dream to go down there and be 86 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 3: able to you know, have the best of the best 87 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 3: make it. So now with the opening of the market, 88 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 3: we're able to go down there. 89 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 4: So it's nice. 90 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: I consider myself a bit of a unicorn here because 91 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: while yes, I do a weight loss shot, I'm still 92 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: a borderline raging alcoholic, etcetera. So I feel like I'm 93 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: still somebody that can take part in your product. 94 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's perfect, and that's the borderline keywords. Yeah, that's 95 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 3: the that's the combination we need. Just know where the 96 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 3: red line is right, right? 97 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 2: Isn't it funny? How like we started talking to you 98 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 2: years ago and you didn't really have an idea of 99 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 2: what it took to do all this and you just 100 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 2: started doing it, which I feel like that's the American way. 101 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 2: You just Okay, I want to do this. I don't 102 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 2: know how to do this, so I'm just going to 103 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: start doing this and absorb from other people. Did you 104 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 2: absorb anything from anybody in this process to get to 105 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,239 Speaker 2: where you are now? 106 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 4: One hundred percent? 107 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 3: I mean I started from the barstool of the consumer side, right, 108 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 3: And luckily for me, I through my network found a 109 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 3: couple of people that made careers in the business, and 110 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 3: so I was able to kind of pick their brain. 111 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: And you're a smart guy. You got to Stanford Edge Education. 112 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: It's not like it's Nage and I sitting in the 113 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: bar going I'll tell you what we need to invent 114 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: and then passing out, blacking out. 115 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 3: Well, that was that was It was kind of understanding 116 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 3: my strengths a little bit, knowing that hey, I know 117 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 3: how to design, I know how to kind of tell 118 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 3: the story, but I don't know the first thing about 119 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 3: distilling it. 120 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 4: And you don't want me to learn how to do it. 121 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 4: So let's let the pros do it. 122 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 3: And you know, I just kind of figured out what 123 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 3: the normal business models look like and try to apply 124 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 3: it to us. So I didn't we didn't buy equipment, 125 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 3: didn't start a traditional distillery, and just kind of went 126 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 3: straight into the barrels making sure the juice is as 127 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 3: good as it can get. So I always say it's 128 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 3: my moneyball approach to bourbon. 129 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: I like it.

You're always doing 136 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff in the community. Like there are 137 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: some business people that could be like, Hey, I'm just 138 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: here to make money. Then I'm gonna go home with 139 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: my wife, my family, my kids, and I'm gonna call 140 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: it a day. Why is it important that you do 141 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: things in the community. 142 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, especially for a cause like this. When 143 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 4: you're helping out. 144 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 3: Families indeed from you know where I'm essentially from, you know, 145 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 3: and you know in these times in need, that's where. 146 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 4: It's easy for us to go out. 147 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 3: Like if it's something that I can help raise money 148 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 3: for and kind of help out somebody that's in a 149 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 3: tough time, that's a no brainer for me. You know, 150 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 3: I can kind of create the time, So it's it's 151 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 3: it's a no brainer. And like I said, especially when 152 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 3: it's a great cause. I feel like a majority of 153 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 3: my charity work is coaching my kids baseball team. 154 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: Though. Now when you coach, because I coached for like 155 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: twenty years, man, it's it's a time commitment. It is. 156 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: And you see some crazy stuff out there on that 157 00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: coaching baseball circuit, Like have you ever seen another coach 158 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: or another parent just so over the top ridiculous you 159 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: just want to walk over and go, I played major 160 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: League baseball and you have no idea what the hell 161 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: you're talking about. 162 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot, unfortunately, a lot of it.

We're set up the dynasty out there. 196 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 4: So if you guys want. 197 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: What did anything click for you when you were a 198 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 2: kid or did it just come natural or was there 199 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 2: a moment where you said, oh, now I get it, Okay, 200 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 2: this is how you do this. 201 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 3: I honestly I played until kid pitch. I just played 202 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 3: and I was good. It was fine, like okay, But 203 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 3: what really clicked was so around that time, I'm you know, 204 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 3: you're playing wiffleball in the front yard, and when your 205 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 3: dad's on TV and you're playing with older kids, sometimes 206 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 3: they might chirpy a. 207 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 4: Little bit, a lot of bit, sure, yeah, a lot 208 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:09,599 Speaker 4: of it. 209 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 3: And so I was a skinny little kid. So that 210 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 3: was my way of getting back was embarrassing them at 211 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 3: the plate. And that's I fell in love with that 212 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 3: of like having the power of the ball, Like I 213 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 3: might not be a big kid, but I can still 214 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 3: make you look stupid. And once, once I was able 215 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 3: to just translate that to the mound in a game. 216 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 3: That's kind of what clicked on the pitching side in 217 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 3: the field. That was always I started turning that more 218 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 3: into wiffleball. So that was kind of my clicking point, 219 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 3: was understanding there's a I knew how to work, but 220 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 3: I also didn't really know how to truly play, and 221 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 3: so I learned how to play playing wiffleball. 222 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: That makes sense. Was there a moment though, on the mound? 223 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 1: Because you spent a number of big league years as 224 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: a closer in Major League Baseball, which is like the 225 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: hardest thing to do, was there a single moment where 226 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: you realized, oh, I just threw ninety and I'm in 227 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: seventh or whatever. It was something like that. 228 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 3: It was kind of, you know, I wasn't like a 229 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 3: Harper prodigy by any means. Like I hit ninety after 230 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 3: my sophomore year, and then like team or college just 231 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 3: started talking to me. 232 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, might have a chance. 233 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 3: And then junior year things really picked up and I'm like, okay, 234 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 3: with my grades, I can probably go or wherever. And 235 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 3: then my senior year, that's when the big league team 236 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 3: started talking to me, and that was like, oh, this 237 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 3: might actually be a thing. So it was I almost 238 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 3: signed out of high school, but glad I chose college, 239 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 3: So it was it was never really something like why 240 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 3: didn't you sign like the money really, it was just 241 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 3: it needed to. 242 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 1: Be Had the money been there, would you have signed? 243 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, which I probably wouldn't have been a good idea. 244 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 3: So yeah, because I I mean I would have been 245 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 3: I've probably would have been fine, but I would have 246 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 3: spent more time in the minor leagues and like I 247 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 3: had been a reliever college reliever, like. 248 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: You would have had that Paul Schemes track of like 249 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: one and a half years in the miners. 250 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't see myself coming out of the minor 251 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 3: league system with a dollar or two as a starter. 252 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 4: But yeah, he's a man. 253 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 3: But yeah, it was one of those things that, like 254 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 3: I said, I don't think he ever clicked, is that 255 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 3: like this could be a thing until I heard Bud 256 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 3: Seaeg say my name during the draft, Like that was 257 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 3: kind of when I was like, oh man, my life 258 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 3: is going to change a lot here, and like you 259 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 3: got a chance to do something, so. 260 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 1: Tell me one more time about the All Star Whiskey here, 261 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: my friend. 262 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is the largest blend of whiskey in 263 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 3: the history of whiskey, so you can kind of pick 264 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 3: your favorite craft distiller from any major league market.
