Speaker 2: Uh.

6
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: Not a bourbon, but a whiskey, and a very odd

7
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: whiskey that is distilled, unbottled locally.

8
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: Corktown, Detroit. Heck yeah, home of the not winning the

9
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,120

10
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 3: Detroit LIONSFC Central talking about Grandpa.

11
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: It's like twenty some odd years ago, also known as

12
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: your Heyday. That's true, Fingers. Have you ever heard of

13
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: two James Spirits? No?

14
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: Okay, I had not either. I found this locally, uh,

15
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: in a in a liquor store, local liquor store here

16
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: in the Indianapolis area, and it was it was the

17
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: only one. It was the only bottle.

18
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 3: Literally has Detroit marked into the glass in Corktown.

19
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: On the other side, you ever been to Corktown? I

20
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,559
Speaker 2: have never been to Corktown. Good good spot. Yes, party

21
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: town where the old uh.

22
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 3: Now, people in Detroit are gonna gonna kill me for this.

23
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 3: I believe that's where the old Tiger Stadium was. Corktown Okay,

24
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: I believe you.

25
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 2: It was a Nemo's bar. I got to google it.

26
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: Love Corktown. You do that.

27
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: I'll talk about this. This is a weird concoction. First

28
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: of all, it is a whiskey, not a bourbon. I

29
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: do not have a mash bill, right. It's a series

30
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: of blended whiskies. And the reason there is no mash

31
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: bill so you can't guarantee that's fifty one percent corn,

32
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: if not fifty corn, it is not bourbon is because

33
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: this Johnny smoking gun that's the name of this whiskey.

34
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:18,559
Speaker 1: This is a mix of whiskeys crafted specifically to compliment

35
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: the umami. Again, we were talking about the umami, this

36
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: idea of savoriness of the rich pork and fish bross

37
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: of Japanese cuisine. I have no idea what that's supposed

38
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: to me except what they do with this, how they

39
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: work this. I want to make sure I've got this

40
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: totally right, because if you go to too James dot com,

41
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: it tells the story.

42
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: Specifically crafted specifically to.

43
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: Complement the umami flavors of rich pork and fish bross

44
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: in Japanese cuisine, possessing intriguing smoke character from two stage

45
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: maceration that will surely not disappoint.

46
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 2: It is infused with tea. Hmm.

47
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: There are as I have read, and I've been reading

48
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: like three different kinds of tea.

49
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 3: I believe it is that go into this Earl Gray Hot,

50
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 3: I honestly don't know.

51
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: I'm reading the rest of it.

52
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: That they are located in Corkdown, Detroit, first licensed discilliary

53
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,679

Speaker 2: That's what they say right here.

58
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: And it comes in at forty three point five percent

59

Speaker 2: It does? It truly does.

65
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 3: And I can't believe I questioned my own knowledge about Detroit. Corktown,

66
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 3: that's where the old Tiger Stadium was, Michigan and Trumbull.

67

78
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,080

84
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 3: I don't think they were kidding. That is weird o

00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 3: smoky get in a little bit and almost it's got

86
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 3: a little smoky, a little herbal and a little corn whiskey.

87
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but you're right about the herbal, But I

88
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: don't I'm not talking about I'm talking about herbs that

89
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: like like really savory kind of stuff.

90
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: Holy cow, Oh alcohol ethanol on the nose? No, that

91
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 2: is am I making that up?

92
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 3: Have you ever had like just corn whiskey. Sure does

93
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 3: have a little bit of that of that, And so

94
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: the smoke is so odd and so weird.

95
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: You would almost think it's pete on a scotch. Yeah that, oh,

96
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 2: by that.

97
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 3: But it's not a pet scotch. Would be more effervescent, right, pungent?

98
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 3: You would, you would, You would have it more wafting.

99
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: You wouldn't have to get so into it, into the nose.

100
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 3: You do have to get into that. And by the way,

101
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 3: the color is nice. This is a little bit orange, right.

102
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say there's much of a viscosity on the

103
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 2: glass at all. We're doing this in a rocks glass.

104
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: Don't ask me why. It's just what we did. I

105
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: don't know what to make of it. That is weird.

106
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what time. I do not know if

107
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: that smells appealing. But if you want it awkward, congratulations

108
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: to James.

111
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: I don't claim to be from Detroit. I'm from Saginaw,

00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 3: which is ninety miles north of Detroit and sagon awesome,

113
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 3: that's so true.

Speaker 2: the two James Spirits Johnny smoking gun. This is. This

118
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: is infused with tea. It is a very very odd

119
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: thing here. And that smoke on the nose.

120
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: You're talking about a blend of whiskeys and with tea

121
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: and just weirdo, weirdo kind of stuff.

122
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: The amount of smoke on the palette is unreal. It

123
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: is smoky, it's herbal.

124
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 3: It almost has a little bit of that scotchy moss

125
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: thing that you were talking about. It's kind of got

126
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: a buttery finish to it. There's a lot of odd

127
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 3: things going on. I will say this, it's a lot

128
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 3: better on the palette than it is on the nose. Really, yes,

129
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 3: all right, it is awkward backle finish to it.

130
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 2: There's a lot of weird things going on here.

138
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: Now when you do that, when you're tasting a bourbon

00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: and it's called or a whiskey, it's the Kentucky chew,

140
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: move it around the palate and an idea of the

141
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: plap that's fruity.

142
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 2: What the hell is going on there?

143
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,040

Speaker 3: sip and a third.

147
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: That is wild. That is really smoky, right, that's not bitter.

148
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 2: That's something else.

149
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't taste like tea. That's crazy. I don't know

150
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: what that is either. Oh, we're gonna do.

151
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,839

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.

153
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 3: We only hope you have not been stuck in the

154
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 3: airline insanity that's been going on across America because of

155
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 3: the no funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which

156
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 3: means no funding for TSA, Transportation Safety Translation Security Administration,

157
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 3: and therefore the insane lines that have been going on

158
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 3: at major hubs and other airports all across the country.

159
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: Your wife got stuck in it. But there are some airlines.

160
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: That are trying to make things easier. It's eat Drink smoke.

165
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: This this non funding of TSA, the four hour, five hour,

166
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: six hour lines, this is no joke. And so they

167
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: brought in Immigration's immigration customs enforcement officers to help with

168
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: the lines. And some people are angry, and most people

169
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: are like, thank goodness, I'm gonna make my flight to

170
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: go on spring break. It's it's really inconveniencing tremendous number

171
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: of people.

172
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 2: Your wife got caught in it heading back.

173
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it wasn't TSA. That was an airline issue.

174
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 3: Oh no, but you know who knows. I just know

175
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 3: that the airline contacted her at seven o'clock in the

176
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 3: morning as she was getting ready to leave for a

177
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: ten o'clock in the morning flight and said, your flight's

178
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 3: delayed eleven hours just right off the bat ended up

179
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 3: being delayed thirteen hours.

180
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 2: She switched flights to the next day.

181
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 3: And we got one hundred and fifty dollars voucher, burning

182
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 3: a hole in our pocket for the next time we're

183
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 3: going to fly. But what's interesting is her flight. First

184
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 3: of all, I hate to say this, and I know

185
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 3: people who live in Central Indiana are going to be

186
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 3: angry that I'm saying this.

187
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: I'm knocking on wood right now.

188
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 3: As far as I can tell, things are pretty smooth

189
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 3: still at the Indianapolis International Airport. My wife had no

190
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 3: problem at all getting onto her flight, getting through security,

191
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: and the airport that she flew back from. Punta Gorda

192
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 3: Airport is one of only twenty airports in the United

193
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 3: States that does not use TSA.

194
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: Right, so there are a couple of airports that still

195
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: use private security.

196
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: San Francisco is one of them.

197
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: Yes, I didn't know Punta Gorda. I happen to be

198
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: a believer that we should be private security and not TSA.

199
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: But that's not the conversation for right now.

200
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 3: Thirteen hour delay, thirteen hour delay, I don't know.

201
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 2: You just booked her to the next day.

202
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, just said the heck with it, because I

203
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 3: was going to have to pick her up at one

204
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 3: thirty in the morning, and who needs that. So but

205
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 3: It's it's interesting that you know these smaller airports have

206
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 3: that kind of delay. It's one thing when you're in

207
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 3: a big airport and you've got all the bars, all

208
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 3: the restaurants, But when you're in a little airport like

209
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 3: Fort Wayne, Indiana has a wonderful small airport, I think

210
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 3: only have eight gates, right, Yeah, maybe one bar, maybe

211
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 3: one place where you can get coffee. If you're stuck

212
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 3: in an airport like that for thirteen hours, I mean,

213
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 3: I know his first world problem stuff, but God help you.

214
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 2: I remember.

215
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: You can get to know you're the person next to you,

216
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: You can make small talk.

217
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be one?

218
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 3: It was some other people's kids that that would if

219
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 3: you could just sit there for thirteen hours and talk

220
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 3: to a complete stranger about the weather.

221
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 2: That sounds like a little slice I happened for me.

222
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: I'll update you and then maybe they'll show you a

223
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: slide show other kids.

224
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 3: Can I tell you one little grandchildren, one little side

225
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 3: story pets. Yes, you had an event a few weeks

226
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 3: ago that I attended and someone came up to me,

227
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 3: big e Hrink smoke fan and said. The first thing

228
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 3: he said to me was, I know you really don't

229
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: want to talk to me because you don't.

230
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 2: Like talking to people. That's so great, you did this.

231
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: It's not true you did this. Listen.

232
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 3: I enjoy especially I enjoy talking to eat, rink, smoke nation.

233
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 3: I just don't want to be in a grocery store,

234
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 3: hung up at checkout and someone turn around and say

235
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 3: to me, hot enough for you. That's when you'll see

236
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 3: my soul actually leave.

237
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 2: When we start paying people to fire you stillers and

238
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: do that hot enough for you? Don't like the weather

239
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: in central Indiana? You know what I say? Wait fifteen minutes.

240
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: I don't know how long this is going to last.

241
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: I don't know how long this this Department of I'm

242
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: a security shutdown is going to last.

243
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: This is this seems to be.

244
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: While I won't get into the politics of it all,

245
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: in my take, this seems to be very much the

246
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: most fascinating test of wills because this is usually.

247
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 2: And fingers and I will agree on this, and I'm

248
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 2: not afraid to discuss this.

249
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: This is usually the kind of stuff that Republicans cavon immediately,

250
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: yeah and there, and the Democrats have tried some other angles,

251
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: like well, we'll just fund TSA, but we won't fund

252
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 1: the other stuff, and Republicans are like nah, and it's it.

253
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 2: Is interesting only in that.

254
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: It's doing real damage to people and TSA. Even if

255
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm not a believer in TSA, these people aren't getting paid.

256
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: It's not cool. It's it's very, very rough.

257
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: And I'm not about to bag on them or diminish

258
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: what it is that they're experiencing, but rarely, because we're

259
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: forty nine days in, well today forty nine to fifty

260
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: so by the weekend we're like one nine million days in.

261
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is really long. This is way longer than

262
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 2: people expected.

263
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: And we've gotten a level of use to it, which

264
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: is also pretty odd. And we now we're not funding

265
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: levels of the Coastguard, and you're talking about serious issues

266
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: about what could be coming into the country and are

267
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: people paying their most attention.

268
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 2: That's the thing that they usually say that something lasts

269
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: as long super rare. I actually know when this is

270
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: gonna end. I have a prediction. You're ready.

271
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 3: Three years, eight months, that's the callback. See what I

272
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 3: did there, That's.

273
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: How long I've had the cigars in the humidor we're smoking.

274
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: By the way, the camacho corojo is what we are

275
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: smoking nine dollars and fifty cents. We will get into

276
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: whether or not it's in your humid or coming up.

277
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: But some of the airlines, not having anything to do

278
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: with with this, they're starting to recognize that maybe, just

279
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: maybe they're the problem. They don't give service, they don't

280
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: give selection, they make the seats smaller, they charge you

281
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: for every last thing. And people have said screw this,

282
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: and then of course they've said it not only by

283
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: saying it, but by engaging in fights on every single

284
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: airplane there is.

285
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 3: This is no longer Spirits problem alone.

286
00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 2: United.

287
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: Now, I'm a believer that if airlines were to go

288
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: higher end, people would spend the money. United is now

289
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: going to start offering international flights a relax row. It's

290
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: a set of three coach seats with leg rests that

291
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: flip up ninety degrees, that convert into a flatbed big

292
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: enough for two adults and.

293
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 2: A small child. Okay, that's not good. Why Why?

294
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 3: Because couples are going to get up there on that

295
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 3: flight in that position and end up nine months later.

296
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: With a small child. Oh you think that's gonna happen.

297
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 2: I know it's gonna happen.

298
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: You think This is just an introduction to the mile

299
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: high club. Yes, right, Air New Zealand calls it the skycouch.

300
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: That's because casting couch was taken skycouch.

301
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 2: Okay, you have a choice.

302
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 3: First you're first class, yep, first class or a sofa

303
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 3: bed on the plane, private plane private if you have

304
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 3: a private plane.

305
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 2: Get to know me. Wow, I did a John loves

306
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 2: callback right there? Oh, first class in every way, in

307
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 2: every way. But I don't mind this. Give people opportunities,

308
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 2: give them options, and apparently you get three TVs. Well

309
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 2: that's always a good thing. This is eat drink smoke,

310
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 2: eat drink smoke.

311
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,959
Speaker 1: It is your cigar bourbon foodie extravaganza. I'm Tony Katz

312
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 1: that right there. He is America's favorite amateur drinker. Fingers molloy.

313
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: Uh so we are smoking the camacho corojo. I had

314
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: these in my human room for four years?

315
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 2: How long? Let me see? Are you gonna take a

316
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 2: quick puff? Three years? Thirty seven weeks? Nice? Nice, like

317
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 2: he's having a baby.

318
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 1: Good lord, coroha and the wrapper, binder and the filler

319
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,479
Speaker 1: not my normal cigar.

320
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 2: A lot of.

321
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: Pepper moving on this, but still I'd say medium, not abusive.

322
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: Not a pepper bomb, but just definitely there in the

323
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: black and the red pepper. You talk about a little

324
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: bit of sweetness going on, maybe a little bit of nuttiness.

325
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: But at nine dollars and fifty cents, is this in

326
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 2: your humidor?

327
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 3: Yes it is, and it's not an everyday smoke, but

328
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 3: it's there. I'm getting also some wood as well, do you. Yeah,

329
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 3: it has been fairly trouble free. Had to touch it

330
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 3: up a couple of times, but other than that, the

331
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 3: hand feel is there. I could see taking this on

332
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 3: a golf course and.

333
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 2: Enjoying it.

334
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's in my humor door. But like I said,

335
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 3: maybe once a month. Yeah, it's not. It's not an

336
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 3: every day for me at all. It's not where I

337
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 3: live and breathe.

338
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: But for under ten bucks, I can see a lot

339
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: of people saying this is something that they can enjoy.

340
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: And we are drinking the Johnny Smoking Gun, which is

341
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: this blend of whiskeys. This is an American whiskey that

342
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: is infused with three types of Japanese tea.

343
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 2: It was formulated to.

344
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: Go with rich kind of of bross pork and fish

345
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: bros in Japanese food.

346
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: I assume maybe we could kind.

347
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: Of expand it out into ramens and the kind of

348
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: things that they kind of want to connect it with.

349
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: It's this weird, weird flavor, very smoky, you would think

350
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: like a Scotch, but in terms of some of that

351
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: flavor maybe a little bit more like an Irish whiskey.

352
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 2: It's it's very it's it's peculiar as can be. Now.

353
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: Over there at Total Wine and Spirits where they carry it,

354
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: they say it's a blend of corn whiskey and rye.

355
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: No part of me picked up any rye, but because

356
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: I'm also overwhelmed by a series of other flavors going

357
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: on here. It's really unique. Is it gimmicky?

358
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: I don't know.

359
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: They were going for something specific. The tea brought down

360
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: the proof and fingers you brought up the point they

361
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: weren't bringing down proof to a number.

362
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 2: They were bringing down proof to a flavor. Yeah.

363
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean they there's no way they were saying themselves,

364
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 3: we're gonna bring this down to a eighty proof and

365
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 3: we're just gonna dump tea into it.

366
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 2: It was a situation like.

367
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 3: A little more, a little more, a little more, Okay,

368
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 3: that's it. But you know, you and I talked about

369
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 3: this during the break, and I'm struggling to figure out

370
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 3: what you could do with this if you weren't going

371
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 3: to drink it straight. I don't know what kind of

372
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 3: cocktail you could.

373
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 2: Make with this.

374
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: I have absolutely no idea, no clue what you would

375
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: do with this. But I'm I put mine on a rock,

376
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: because we do our job. He already drink smoke. Sometimes

377
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: you don't like it, eat you like it on a cube.

378
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: You don't like it on a cube. You'd rather just

379
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: add a little bit of water, fingers added a little

380
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: bit of water.

381
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 2: It is.

382
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: I added a cube thirty seconds ago, and it is

383
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: basically melted.

384
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 2: Wow, you would think it's one hundred degrees outside. It

385
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 2: is not. I'm going in.

386
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 3: He's going in, ladies and gentlemen, and he's doing the

387
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 3: Kentucky shoe.

388
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 2: No, it's good.

389
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 3: Wow, it's the first of all, it's better on a cube.

390
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 3: It's better on the cube because the intensity of the herbal.

391
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 3: We talk about herbal over there at bourbon blenders. They

392
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 3: say the herbal.

393
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: Is rosemary on the nose and a regano on the finish. Okay, right,

394
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: God bless you. These are also the people who said

412
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it's not scotch, but it's the

413
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: only way I can kind of it's but it's not scotch,

414
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: and it's not campfire, but.

415
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 2: It's a little campfire and it's a little scotch. I've never.

416
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 3: Had a cocktail before where they use I don't even

417
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 3: know what you call it. That where they infuse smoke

418
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 3: into that is you've had that before?

419
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 2: Is it similar to me? Different? This is way different wild?

420
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: All right, go ahead? He added just a little bit

421
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: of water. Now, water brings down proof, right. The water

422
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: also opens up the bourbon. Some flavors more muted, some

423
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: flavors more pronounced.

424
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 2: That nose is so wild.

425
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 3: It's everything about this is just bizarre, and not in

426
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 3: not a bad way.

427
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 2: Not in a bad way, but not in an every

428
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 2: day way. I don't know what to do with this now.

429
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: There is a part of me that definitely wants to

430
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 1: try this with with a ramen esque type of meal.

431
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: To me, it brought down a little bit of the

432
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 2: smoke brought which is not a bad thing. No, the smoke.

433
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 3: Wasn't overwhelming, neat. It brought down a little bit of smoke,

434
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 3: brought a little bit more of that herbal.

435
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 2: Smoked meat. I don't, I don't, I don't get at all. Yeah,

436
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 2: this one. That was one review.

437
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: And then the people over there at at to James

438
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: dot com, this is too James spirits. Uh they they

439
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: say oregano, brown butter, thyme, smoked paprika.

440
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 2: Oh it wasn't them.

441
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I it wasn't the people at uh at

442
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: Bourbon Blenders who said decorative soaps.

443
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 2: I'm yelling at them.

444
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: No, No, it's the people at to James dot com

Speaker 2: And that's not the way you sell whiskey. I'm and

447
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 2: I'm again. I brought this up earlier.

448
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 3: There's almost like a tobacco finish to it. It's it's

449
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 3: so bizarre, it's interesting, and it's not Listen.

450
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 2: Let me let me ask, let me let me ask you.

451
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 2: Is this in your liquor cabinet for fifty bucks? Yeah?

452
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 2: I found it for forty seven ninety nine. Yes. And

453
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 2: this isn't just a homer thing. This would because it

454
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: comes out of Detroit.

455
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is not a situation where I'm being a

456
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 3: homer or or I'm not going to claim that this

457
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 3: is an everyday drink for me. It certainly would not be.

458
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 3: This is a bottle that you want to bring out

459
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 3: when friends visit and you're like, give this a try,

460
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,719
Speaker 3: tell me what you think of it. If it's at

461
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 3: your favorite lounge, you need to give it a try.

462
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 3: Let us know what you think of it.

463
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: But start at neat, Yes, start at neat rocks back

464
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: and then you know, see it from there.

465
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: It's it is. It is that I wish I could

466
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 2: say nope.

467
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 3: I can't say nope, you're topping off out on my

468
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 3: limit on what I would spend this fifty bucks. I

469
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 3: don't think if you would have said seventy dollars, I

470
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 3: would have said, I love you and I love Detroit. No,

471
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 3: but fifty yeah, between the presentation and the uniqueness of

472
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 3: the flavor.

473
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: Because it's a label that goes all the way around,

474
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: and the label's almost a little glossy yeah on the front,

475
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: and then it's got the of the two James's on

476
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: the back, and then it's kind of like octagonal and

477
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: has Detroit and what's the other name of the town,

478
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: Corktown Corktown embossed at the bottom of of the of

479
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: the bottle.

480
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 2: It's really some thought went into it, or there was

481
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 2: a good fine. It's very very cool.

482
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: And I will tell you this, the heat was all

483
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: upper chest, and you and I both even after the

484
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: first SIPs, it slowly moves its way down to the belly.

485
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 2: It's the weirdest weird.

486
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: I don't think we've ever spent this long describing what

487
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: a bourbon does or what a whiskey does. There's there's

488
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 1: just a ton happening, and I think some people are

489
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: gonna sit this and be like, guys, you're in saying

490
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: this is this is crap.

491
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 3: Sure, there's no doubt in my mind, I believe because

492
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 3: this this is like no other whiskey I've ever had

493
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 3: in my life. And I think that's what's got us

494
00:26:54,680 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 3: intraded because I don't I don't know how to properly category.

495
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 2: I don't think this is gonna be on my list

496
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 2: for my top three of the year. Yeah, I do

497
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 2: think it's I do think it's in the liquor cabinet

498
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 2: for you want to taste something weird. It's an experience. Yeah,

499
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 2: well said.

500
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: Every year they come up with these lists the best

501
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: place is to work in America, and then the company

502
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 1: will put a sign on a door best place to

503
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: work in America. I'm just amazed that in a world

504
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: where that could still be an office building, no one's

505
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: going to the office. Imagine the money you would save

506
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: on stickers, seat, drink smoke. I'm Tony Katz. That is

507
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: fingers below. I find everything at Eatdrink, Smoke show dot com.

508
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 2: Do we have a sticker budget here? Oh, we've got

509
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 2: a sticker budget. Nice. You need some stickers, I need four.

510
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 2: I will get you Want some EA drink smoke stickers,

511
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:52,719
Speaker 2: I'll get you some eatdrinks.

512
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 3: All of my friends get you some finger stickers. Oh

513
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 3: it could it could be. It could look like a

514
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 3: hand follow fingers.

515
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 2: See what you did there? I see what I did there.

516
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: So there's a list from the visualcapitalist dot com the

517
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: best place to work in America in twenty twenty six.

518
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 2: But twenty twenty six isn't even over. I don't know

519
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 2: how it could be the best place now.

520
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 3: Two hundred and seventeen thousand employees surveys rating factors such

521
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 3: as pay, career growth, culture, and likelihood to recommend also pay.

522
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 3: Do out the large companies which are over five thousand employees,

523
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 3: or the mid sized companies. Let's go with the large

524
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 3: companies because they are more recognizable names.

525
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: I assume there are twenty on this list, and Samsung

526
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: comes in at number twenty, and Salesforce comes in at

527
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: number eighteen, and Adobe number fifteen, Delta's number thirteen, Carhart

528
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: number eleven, apples Ont number twelve actually, and then you

529
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: get to number ten, which is Houston Methodists Hospital Group.

530
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 2: I guess number nine is Hogue. I don't know what

531
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 2: a hoge is. It's a sandwich, that's a hoge.

532
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: Oh, then American Express, then Nvidia, then In and Out.

533
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 2: Then it's a Stanford. Do they mean the University? I

534
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 2: would think so. Maybe. Then it's Microsoft, Google, Saint Jude

535
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 2: Children's Research Hospital.

536
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: And what's number one on the list? Trader Joe's. Trader

537
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: Joe's is the best place to work, mainly because of

538
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: the uniform. They give you a Hawaiian shirt.

539
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 3: What you.

540
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 2: Look at me? Do I look like I walk into

541
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 2: Trader Joe's. Why not? You'd love Trader Joe's. Why would

542
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: I love Trader Joe's Because they've got the JoJo's Which

543
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 2: are the cookies? If they've got some great cool frozen foods.

544
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 2: None of these sound like they're loaded with preservatives. No, no, no,

545
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 2: that's the whole point. Well, why would I go in there?

546
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 2: Then I need preservatives?

547
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: Because they've got a bell and you can ring the

548
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: bell for for good service and everyone goes whoo.

549
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 3: Something like that. Why do they go whoo or something

550
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 3: like that? They wear Hawaiian shirts? What what is the

551
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 3: purpose of the Hawaiian shur to traders.

552
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 2: Do you feel all sorts of aloha? Some people think

553
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 2: it's cultural appropriation. I'm not one of those people.

554
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: So, and then you get to the mid size companies

555
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: one to five thousand people, and you go from the

556
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: New York Power Authority.

557
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: Stop right there.

558
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: The only way the New York Power Authority is a

559
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: great job is because you don't actually.

560
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 2: Have to show up.

561
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,959
Speaker 3: The whole thing is the no show job, the New

562
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 3: York Power Authority. I'm guessing you know when you can well,

563
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,239
Speaker 3: I don't want to get sued. It's it's like the

564
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 3: South Park episode where they make fun of cable companies.

565
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 3: It's like, Oh, you're upset that we're not going to

566
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 3: be there for another week. Oh that's terror. I'm so sorry.

567
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 3: So I'm thinking the New York Power Company is like, Oh,

568
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 3: you're upset that your bill's gotten really high because there's

569
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 3: like twenty data centers.

570
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 2: Now buy your house. Oh that's too bad, We're sorry.

571
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 2: This is a great pace to work, isn't it, Johnny.

572
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: Then they've got Green Bay Packaging, Spotify, Open Lane, don't

573
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: know what it is, Business Solver or don't know, UIC,

574
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: don't know, Medical Mutual, don't know United Community, don't know.

575
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 2: Patagonia that's the clothing and then Toll Brothers.

576
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: Which is a construction company. These are the are the

577
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: are the companies. But what is there anything that makes

578
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: a place truly great to work for that isn't pay related.

579
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you have to have a general interest in

580
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: I would assume what are you doing? I mean there

581
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: are people who don't do things that they're not interested

582
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: in and they do them for the other things.

583
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 2: Again, the economics of it all. I know people who

584
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: work in a major corporation.

585
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 3: Is that right, yes? And I've talked to these people,

586
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 3: and while they say yeah, while they say that the

587
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 3: pay is satisfying and the benefits are fantastic, when you're

588
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 3: at a workplace where you don't feel like you are

589
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 3: respected as an employee.

590
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 2: Where you don't feel like.

591
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 3: The mission is defined and you have a better way

592
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 3: to fulfill that mission, your voice isn't heard, where you

593
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 3: feel like you've been just been turned into a number

594
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 3: and you're punching a clock every day. Sometime sometimes I'm

595
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 3: talking about people I talk to.

596
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 2: We already know you don't talk to anybody.

597
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 3: For people, and they're gonna get stickers very soon. I

598
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 3: feel that sometimes pay isn't enough for people like that,

599
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 3: that they want more. You know, we've we've heard stories

600
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 3: about the old stories about when Twitter was called Twitter. Oh,

601
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 3: good old days, Yes, twenty twelve. It was a simpler time.

602
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 3: People would work at Twitter and it was very hands off,

603
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 3: relaxed atmosphere, to the point where when the new owner

604
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 3: came in, they looked around and said, this is so relaxed.

605
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 2: Why are you people here? What exactly do you do here?

606
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 2: Office space? Thank you?

607
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 3: And that became a less relaxed atmosphere for those people

608
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 3: because they were no longer in that atmosphere. But I'm assuming,

609
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 3: just based on what I've heard on the outside looking in,

610
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 3: that some of these tech companies like Google may have

611
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 3: that same kind of Hey, you know what, for the

612
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 3: first half hour you should just hang out at the

613
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 3: coffee bar over here, we're just gonna exchange ideas and

614
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 3: coffee bar.

615
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: They have got multiple campus wide cafeterias where they're making

616
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: food to order.

617
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 2: It's crazy. But do they have coffee? Oh? Oh, do

618
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 2: they have coffe? They have their own baristas. Wow right?

619
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 2: And Google that you want a flat white, They'll get

620
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 2: you covered.

621
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 3: That's san Francisco, still right, So they probably that's close

622
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 3: to Seattle. Is it Starbucks?

623
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 2: What do you think? Oh no, let's let's send him

624
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:20,719
