1
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: You know, some people they like their bourbon just to

2
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: be oaked. That's fine. Bourbon goes in a first used

3
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: chart oak barrel and get it.

4
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 2: Some people they like they're oak. They like it the

5
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: bourbon to be oaked twice, perhaps double oaked. Fingers willy,

6
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 2: I do like double oaked. Those people are amateurs, oh,

7
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: because what's one better than double oaked?

8
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: I cant you a hold bit triple oaked, triple oaked

9
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: d drink smoke.

10
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: I'm Tony Katz, and that is America's favorite amateur drinker,

11
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: fingers ally. And this right here is the angels Envy

12
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: triple oak. Now there are brilliant bourbons, of course, and

13
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: of course I am a fan of some double oaked bourbons.

14
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: And you know how I feel about what for reserve

15
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: and the double oak, the double double, spectacular, spectacular stuff.

16
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 1: But came across this again on sale, fingers boy.

17
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: This is their bourbon finished in a blend of Hungarian

18
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: chinkapin and French oak barrels. And I said, that sounds

19
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: super fancy, coming in at ninety two proof. No applause,

20
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 2: fingers away, no applause. What's interesting is that I would

21
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: have expected darker I would have expected a more caramel. Look,

22
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 2: this is in laying in between orange and amber is

23
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: where the color is on this bourbon.

24
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: Right here?

25
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: Can you talk about the bottle for a second. All

26
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 2: about the bottle is the classic. It's the angels Envy

27
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: bottle that says triple Oak, and it's got.

28
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: The Angel wings on the back.

29
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: It's got the Beautiful Side label there in the blue

30
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: and the gold. It's it's, as always an absolutely spectacl

31
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: presentation from the people at angels Envy.

32
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: Bravo.

33
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: Well done, well played. Check the nose on that fingers.

34
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: But boy, what does that got you doing?

35
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: Okay, obviously there's some oak. You know what's really weird?

36
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: When I, yeah, there is. When I first it went away, but.

37
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 3: I almost got a hint of like a like a wine,

38
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: like a red wine.

39
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: Briefly, and then.

40
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: That that was really subtle and I'm not really getting

41
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: that anymore, but that was the first thing that popped

42
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: into my head, that oak is there.

43
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a dark fruit. I do think that there is.

44
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: There is a real fruit richness uh in there.

45
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: Not necessarily an orchard, there's not a lot of I

46
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: think there's some wonderful oak going on here. There is

47
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: a touch of ethanol, even though it's signed to you

48
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 2: proof there is a.

49
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: Touch of ethanol. A'm not getting a lot of vanila

50
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: or caramel.

51
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: I think that there's a real spice there that is more.

52
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: It's not ry spice, it's it's bready.

53
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 1: Oh, it's really nice, it is. It is really really nice.

54
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: I would argue, though, you really got to get your

55
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: nose in it, don't you.

56
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh, it's not overwhelming, it's not. It's not flowing

57
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: out there, no, for sure. But enough with the sniff

58
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: and fingers will this is the Angels and the triple

59
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: Oak fingers will?

60
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: Are you ready for this?

61
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: We do not have an age stament. One would have

62
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: to believe it's at least four years. Hold on, right,

63
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: we know that you're.

64
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: Not going to know stop it four years seven months.

65
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: That's just not not factual. Yes, nor even science. I've

66
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: been ready for this all day. All right, he's got in.

67
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: He's doing what is known as the Kentucky chew, moving

68
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: the juice around the palette, trying.

69
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: To get an understanding of the flavors. That's what you

70
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: want to do.

71
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: I'm a believer in the two SIPs methodology. The first

72
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: sip to set the taste buds, the second ship to.

73
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: Really get an idea of flavors. Fingers.

74
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 3: All right, wow, okay, First of all, are you all right?

75
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 3: Nice bit of and maybe it's from the popcorn. I

76
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 3: don't know, maybe it's monkeyed with my palate.

77
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: I doubt it. A nice bit of stinging on the tongue.

78
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 3: That dark fruit is there, maybe hint of vanilla, And

79
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 3: of course the oak really hitches. Well, that's really really nice.

80
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: It's sweeter than I thought it was gonna be.

81
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: Yea, there is a little bit of sweetness to the nose.

82
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: There's a little bit of a brown sugar kind of

83
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: sprinkling all across it.

84
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 3: There's a I didn't want. I don't want to under

85
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 3: solid by saying a decent am oak. The oak is there.

86
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: It's there.

87
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 3: I I'm just surprised. It's a little sweeter than I

88
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 3: thought it was gonna be. And by the way, not

89
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 3: complaining at all about that. So I'll be interested to

90
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 3: see what you think.

91
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 2: I'm going in the the Angels MBI triple oak ninety

Speaker 3: we like to call the sagon, a swish Memphis munch,

96
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 3: Chattanooga chomp.

97
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: Oh, oh, it's just me. It is on the finish too,

98
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: at the end, the very very end, a little bit

99
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: of like cinnamon. Wait hold on, yes, oh that's delicious.

100
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: Yes, there is a little bit of heat that is

101
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 2: now spreading fullness of the chest right there.

102
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: Easy, No real sting on the tongue, which is kind

103
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: of interesting.

104
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 2: Really, No, not, not not at all, not in any way.

105
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: Wow, that is that is rich.

106
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: There, There is oak there that that whole dark fruit

107
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: thing your half you're talking about.

108
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: It's not wine, right, I would never call it wine, but.

109
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: Dark fruit or stone fruit like cherry and and a

110
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 2: little plum. That's just that's almost a coating. Not not

111
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: in a syrupy kind of way. Don't don't think cost

112
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 2: syrup or anything like that. I think, oh god, not

113
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: even in a cordial kind of way, because it's not

114
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: that sweet.

115
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: Low sugar pie. So the flavors there, but it's not

116
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: necessarily uh, the big sweet bomb at all. And it

117
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: and it and it's and it's ribboned with vanilla. Holy crap,

118
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: that's good. Now.

119
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: I am not enough of an expert to know about

120
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: chickenpen uh oak and and and and and friend joke.

121
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 2: We've done some friends of things before. I've never done chinkapin.

122
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 2: I have a lot to learn there. Certainly don't know

123
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 2: about Hungarian oak, so maybe they're there. Certain oaks are

124
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 2: are known for bringing about these certain kinds of things.

125
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: But that is a really oh and that and that

126
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: finishes You said what on the finish you were as a.

127
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: Little bit of cinnamon at the end. No, no, no,

128
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: no bad no. I would go with a little bit.

129
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: The guys over breaking Bourbon said coffee, And I don't

130
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 2: know how I feel about that because that could also

131
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: be seen as berry.

132
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: But but this clearly hit us two different ways. We

133
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: ran some of the stuff, but I cannot believe you

134
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: didn't get a lot of sting right away on the tongue.

135
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: I mean, I was like right when you were like

136
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 3: fingers are you okay? It was like it was really

137
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 3: hitting me. It's it's nice. I don't get a cinnamon,

138
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 3: that is what it what I like about the finish.

139
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 2: And there's a flavor I'm not fine, I can't identify,

140
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: but it lasts. It isn't dissipating it is that it

141
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: is a fullness that stays with you and you feel

142
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: satiated from it, which is a really interesting way.

143
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: I think to put it.

144
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: The angels Envy triple OA and a lot of people

145
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,080

146
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: What do you expect you're gonna get good? Oh? Wow,

147
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: that was really that is?

148
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 2: That is surprisingly wonderful. Wonder Oh I'm gonna hate to

149
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: I was about to say I hate Oh. That is

150

Speaker 2: a terrific meat drink. No more frozen canns orange juice

151
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:07,360

00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: concentrated orange juice. How could one make trading places again?

153

Speaker 2: was a mainstay. You open up the canon came out

159
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: and you added water and next thing you know, orange

160
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 2: juice for days.

161
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: That's over. Life goes on and there goes our childhood.

162
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 2: Not totally, I mean they're still tang yeah and five

163
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: alive and then absolutely despicable Sonny D.

164
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: You don't like Sonny D? Are you insane? Sunny D's

165
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: fantasticity is disgusting.

166
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 3: What a jug of sunny D in front of me

167
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: right now will be gone by the end of the show.

168
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,599
Speaker 2: Really, Oh yeah, you put sunny D in front of me,

169
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: and it will also be gone at the end of

170
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: the show in the trash where it belongs.

171
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: But I you know, even when my kids were younger,

172
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: that was always it was like a security blanket, you know.

173
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 3: It was you always have some frozen concentrate in the freezer,

174
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 3: and if you ran out of fruit juice or.

175
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: Whatever, it was always there. It was reliable. And now

176
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: it's no more. You want me to be totally elitist

177
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: on you. Oh good lord, I freshly squeezed.

178
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 2: Oh no, I didn't feed my kids fruit ice is

179
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 2: because it's all sugar and empty calories.

180
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: That's right, I'm insufferable. We didn't, Actually, we didn't. We

181
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: did not do juice for the kids.

182
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: They got when we would go on vacation and we

183
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 2: would say at one of those hotels that that did

184
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 2: the breakfast right, and would sounds something like something something

185
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: in or Hampton in like one of those. And they

186
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 2: could go downstairs and they'd be like, well, what can

187
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: we eat it. You're on vacation, you can have anything

188
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 2: you want. What there were fruit loops and nine glasses

189
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 2: of orange juice and was.

190
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: In a doughnut.

191
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 2: Nobody knew, but they ate it great. You could go

192
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 2: back and get seconds. They were like, this is more cereal. Sure,

193
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 2: you're on vacation, have fun.

194
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: That's that. I don't pay anything. I never paid attention

195
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: to what they did on what they ate on vacation.

196
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: Go ahead, do anything. So that was the exact opposite.

197
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 3: The kids could eat four bowls of fruit loops at home.

198
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 3: We went on vacation grits.

199
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 2: That's you interesting parenting style right there. But you really

200
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: did you would have the frozen comes.

201
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and you know, I think there's probably still one

202
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 3: in the freezer that I bought in two thousand and four.

203
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 3: But no, this is this is sad, It really is.

204
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 3: It feels like a part of child childhood.

205
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: Aren't you still in your fridge? No?

206
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 3: No right, yeah, no, no, not at all. And actually

207
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 3: I prefer cranberry.

208
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: Juice wow.

209
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 3: Wow, which I'm hoping in the next few years I'll

210
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 3: graduate to prune.

211
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: That's the game plan. That's the game plan. You know,

212
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: often I thought you remind me of my grandmother. Have

213
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: you ever had prune juice from concentrate? Stop talking, you're disgusting.

214
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: You know. It's Valentine's weekend.

215
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: So happy Valentine's Day, everybody, and we hope that it's wonderful.

216
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: And I truly hope no.

217
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 2: One bought into the nonsense that gives equal love and

218
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: you have to spend an outrageous amount of money in

219
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 2: order to show your love when you're sweetie, your boo

220
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 2: that they matter.

221
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: Dratt, I wish we would have had this conversation yesterday.

222
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: Did you spend a lot of money?

223
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 3: No, no, I didn't, but I did try to get

224
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 3: dinner reservations on Valentine's Day, actually Valentine's Day, and the

225
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 3: people laughed and they laughed and they laughed. Apparently a

226
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 3: lot of people. You know, we keep hearing that, you know,

227
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 3: the economy is kind of sluggish, and and to some

228
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 3: extent I can can see, especially with the labor market

229
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 3: the way it is, but holy cow, doesn't seem that

230
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 3: way when you walk into a restaurant.

231
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: No, not at all. It's it's just it's nuts.

232
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: I will will not be going out for Valentine's Day

233
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 2: fancy because my youngest has a competition. So I'm going

234
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: to be in the quasi northwest corner of Indiana, where

235
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: I'm hopefully going to be able to have a late

236
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 2: night snack with my wife at an Applebee's.

237
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm telling you right now, Moncearelli sticks are happening.

238
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: Good for you. I don't know what Applebea's does, so

239
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: I just went with the Montrel sticks. I figured the sake,

240
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 1: get the rib basket, get the ribblets, Yes, the riblets, Yeah,

241
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: I could do that. You're gonna enjoy it. And I

242
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: can't think of a better way to spend Valentine than

243
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: with ribs.

244
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 2: Well, that's Valentine's Day, then coming up soon, you got

245
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 2: the President's Day.

246

Speaker 1: Just days later, you got the President's Day.

247
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 3: I can't think of a better way to spend Precedent's

248
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 3: Day than with ribs.

249
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,000

Speaker 2: These are the solo stoves now full disclosure, Solo Stove

259
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 2: is not a sponsor this show. Shame on them. I

260
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 2: have the solo stove.

261
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: You come. It is tremendous. It is a must have.

262
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: I have bought the smaller ones for friends, not you,

263
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 2: but for other friends, so it is terrific.

264
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 3: Have you seen solo stoves? And I don't know if

265
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 3: this is a conversion kit or if it's just a

266
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 3: specific solo stove that you can also use as a grill.

267
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: Uh, it's.

268
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: I think there is a specific solo stove they do

269
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: for this. But yes, you can buy the g the

270
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: grill parts of it, and then you know, because it's

271
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: it's a little higher up, and then you can do

272
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: your steaks on it.

273
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: I haven't done that yet.

274
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 3: You really need to do that, You really need to

275
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 3: make that a part of your life. There's something about

276
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 3: grilling a steak totally on wood. Fantastic tripine, very weird.

277
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 2: Solo stove is a great, great, great thing to have

278
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 2: because the idea of being able to have the pirate

279
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: pit where you want to have it is fantastic. I

280
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: love the ide building one. I love the idea of

281
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: running the gas line and letting that, you know, start

282
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: the fire. But I have found solo stoves with any

283
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 2: of those like instant flames like logs, where you just

284
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: light it and then it That's what I do, and

285
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 2: I'm not here to fight it. I'm not here to

286
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 2: get kindling or anything else. I'm taking the easy way.

287
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: Out on this.

288
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 3: Oh I gotta tell you, you know, the new house. The

289
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 3: old house had a wood burning fireplace. The new house

290
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 3: has a gas fireplace. I missed the wood burner.

291
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: You can't do wood in the gas. No, oh yeah,

292
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: that's that's yeah. We have a wood fireplace and there's

293
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: nothing like it.

294
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 3: I mean, it's really nice to be able to have

295
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 3: a fire in four seconds, but it doesn't throw the

296
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 3: heat like the wood fire does, and then that just

297
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 3: that smell.

298
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 2: So when we do it, you light it, it takes

299
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: a little while to get going in about an hour,

300
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 2: everything feels wonderful, and then about two hours later, furniture

301
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 2: is melting.

302
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: The heat is just flying off it. And we have

303
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: this part of it that that has this blower like

304
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: you can flip the switch. I've never used it. It

305
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: gives off enough heat. It's toasty. Yeah, but yes, gas

306
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: fireplace does not do the same thing.

307
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 2: It can't do the same thing you're saying, I should

308
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 2: get the conversion kit for the Solo stove and grow

309
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 2: my steaks on.

310
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: Well.

311
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 3: I see there's a cast iron grill top for the

312
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 3: Yukon twenty seven inch, three hundred and thirty nine.

313
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: Dollars through Solo Stove's website. Oh, it's not a President's

00:17:58,880 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 2: gonna lie.

323
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: I have never had a problem with the cigar. I

324
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: adore it. I sat it down for too long.

325
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: We were doing too much, and I've had to retouch

326
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 2: it up. I screwed up the touch up. It's all

327
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 2: my fault.

328
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: This cigar is spectacularly good. You know what you did wrong.

329
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 3: I saw an influencer that said that you need to

330
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 3: put your cigars next to your popcorn in the freezer.

331
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: Why do you say things like that? Why do you

332
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: hurt me? I report it and you decide. I think

333
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: that tagline's taken now.

334
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 2: This cigar comes in at sixty dollars. A stick Nicaraguan

335
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 2: and the wrapper and the binder. The filler is Nicaraguan

336
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 2: and hunt Duran from Placentia. I was able to find

337
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 2: it for forty dollars a stick and admittedly a box

338
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: of ten. I bought two boxes. The answer to this

339
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 2: cigar is yes. The fact that I screwed mine up

340
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 2: means nothing on any normal.

341
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: Day, doesn't mean anything.

342
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 3: Well, it means a little, really, I mean just to

343
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 3: your day that you have a forty to sixty dollars

344
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 3: cigar that isn't the way you like it. But that

345
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 3: the number of reasons why, and we aren't going to

346
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 3: blame anything other than.

347
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 2: That I've had this cigarette many times already, Yeah, and

348
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 2: every smoke has been perfect, And I Am not going

349
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 2: to do anything except say I am all in on

350
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 2: this smoke.

351
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: I think it is tremendous at sixty, at sixty bucks,

352
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: I'm in at forty for sure. Ye, sixty's a push.

353
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: Sixties a hard one to swallow.

354
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,959
Speaker 2: But I have had plenty of sixty dollars cigars that

355
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 2: don't smoke anywhere as good as this, anywhere as good

356
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 2: as this. And we are drinking fingers Boy at ninety

357
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 2: two proof. This is the triple oak from angels Envy.

358
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: And I'm about to put mine on a cube right there. Oh,

359
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: I'd say, you.

360
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 2: Know it's fresh now when you put it on a cube.

361
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 2: When you add water, Fingers Boy adds a little bit

362
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 2: of water. I go with the cube.

363
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: Water brings down the proof.

364
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,959
Speaker 2: Water also can open up a bourbon, right, some flavors

365
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 2: more pronounced, some more muted.

366
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: Going in. I regret having to do this. I thought

367
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: this was a beautiful presentation.

368
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 2: Neat really something else enjoyable, A lush in a in

369
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:09,959
Speaker 2: a in a in a good way.

370
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: But we do it for eating smoke Nation. Maybe I'll

371
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: be pleasantly surprised. Maybe maybe positive, let's be optimistic. Is

372
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: that working out for us so far?

373
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 3: He's going in ladies and gentlemen and he's you didn't

374
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 3: even do the sagon.

375
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 1: I swish. Yeah, it's still really good. Huh Now is

376
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: it as good as it was? Neat? Is it better?

377
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: Or is it a push? All right? A spice increased

378
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: on a cinnamon spice? Did ha? Oh yeah, it's still

379
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: really good.

380
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong. It's a heat full chest right

381
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 2: full expansion. Uh no, stinging on the tongue. Sorry, but

382
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 2: there's a.

383
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: There's a spice intensity that happened.

384
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 2: And now in the finish there's a little bit of

385
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 2: that coating of the tongue in the slush that's taking place.

386
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: I would do it neat. I would do it neat.

387
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 1: Fingers boy, you added a little bit of water? Do

388
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: you take?

389
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 2: And I drop it out? And I put a little bit.

390
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 2: Didn't use a dropper. People have bought him droppers. He

391
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 2: still doesn't use them.

392
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: What say you?

393
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 2: Oh wow, he's really in deep thought. I thought he

394
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 2: was gonna say something. He's like, nope, I spend more

395
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 2: time marining. Yeah, that spice is there. It did, it

396
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 2: did pick up. I'm getting a little bit more of

397
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 2: that dark fruit than i was before. That oak is

398
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 2: muted slightly. It's fantastic, it really is.

399
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: This came out in twenty twenty four, so.

400
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 2: If you haven't seen it, it's there. It's there for you.

401
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,479
Speaker 2: Fingers billoy, Is this in your liquor cabinet? This is

402
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 2: the angels Envy triple oak. It's it's done in the

403
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 2: Hungarian chickenpin and French oak barrels.

404
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: Is this in your liquor cabinet? For seventy five dollars

405
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: a bottle? Now you know me? Yeah, I am usually

406
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: the value money money. Yeah, that's exactly right.

407
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 3: Seventy five dollars for me is a splurge bottle. I

408
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 3: would have this in my liquor cabinet.

409
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Now I can't remember the number right now,

410
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 2: I've got it written down.

411
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: I'll find it. I did get it on sale, I

412
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: remember correctly, got it on sale.

413
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 2: Should have a group on no, no, no, I just

414
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 2: knew a guy and there was a back of a

415
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 2: truck and I don't want to talk about it.

416
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: At seventy five dollars yes, yes, absolutely.

417
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 2: Now I would argue that even this year, we've tried

418
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 2: some things where I'm like, lesser price point, I think

419
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 2: I got more enjoyment.

420
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: Maybe I cannot wait to go back and.

421
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 2: Do some comparisons. This is really a pleasure. But I

422
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 2: would stick with it neat. For me, I would stick

423
00:22:59,200 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 2: with it neat.

424
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: And part of it.

425
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 3: This is totally superficial. I understand that the juice stands

426
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 3: on its own. The presentation the bottle, it's beautiful. I

427
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 3: would have that in your display. I think as a

428
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 3: home run as well, and it adds to the value

429
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 3: of what you're buying to me again, seventy five dollars

430
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 3: is definitely a splurge bottle for me.

431
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: It's in my liquor cabinet. It's time fingers maloy for

432
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: News of the week.

433
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 3: CNBC is reporting Tony that Dutch brewer Heineken is planning

434
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 3: to lay off up to seven percent of its workforce

435
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 3: as it looks to boost efficiency through productivity gains.

436
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 2: May I what is the productivity gain? I get it's

437
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 2: a logistical I mean it could be like a host

438
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 2: of those things having nothing to do with the actual

439
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 2: making of the beer.

440
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 3: There's nothing specific, just as the company also says it's

441
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 3: planning to cut between five and six thousand rolls over

442
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 3: the next two years, as it's targeting operation operating profit

443
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 3: growth in the range of two to six percent.

444
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 2: This translation, people aren't drinking as much beer worldwide, even

445
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 2: though they may still be there in parts of Europe.

446
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 2: This is not surprising, This is not shocking. One of

447
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 2: the things that we have to really expect to have

448
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 2: happen is that they are going to be job losses,

449
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 2: which makes the jobs report so amazing that jobs went

450
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 2: up in January because AI is taking those gigs. AI

451
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 2: is taking those gigs. And this is just part of

452
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 2: the change that we're in in the world.

453
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: Right.

454
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 2: The car came and that ended the horse and buggy

455
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 2: and ended a whole host of things. You could drive

456
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 2: to the supermarket, You no longer had your milk delivered

457
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 2: to you, et cetera. So these things do come, these

458
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 2: changes do happen, and there's nothing wrong with it whatsoever.

459
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 2: But I'm not surprised when I'm seeing this in any

460
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 2: part of the beer wine spirits world at this moment.

461
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, apparently beer sales were down globally two point four

462
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 3: percent in twenty twenty five, so, which is in line

463
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 3: with what we've been talking about as far as the

464
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 3: struggles in the bourbon industry.

465
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: Which are again have no end in sight.

466
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 3: So a little bit of good news though, Tony. If

467
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 3: you're working for Costco, Costco is introducing a minimum twenty

468
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 3: dollars an hour rule across all stores and it's expecting

469
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 3: to raise wages next month. The average pay is as

470
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 3: high as thirty one dollars an hour at the moment,

471
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 3: so it's incredible.

472
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: Ye go work now what.

473
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 2: I have zero issue with this minimum wage. I have

474
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 2: serious issue with when states talk about we have to

475
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 2: raise the minimum wage. I'm very much in the Milton

476
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 2: Friedman camp that the minimum wage takes away opportunity from

477
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 2: the employer and the employee. The minimum wage is sounds nice.

478
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 2: The minimum wage is not good business. It's not good practice.

479
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 2: It it it takes away the ability for people to

480
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 2: learn on the job.

481
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: It takes away for the ability.

482
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 2: For people to negotiate for themselves. Real I oppose the

483
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 2: minimum wage. I can debate this really with anybody. But

484
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 2: if if a company says this is what we're gonna pay, well,

485
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 2: the company is saying we're utilizing this as a skill set,

486
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: as a tool, I should say, to get a skill

487
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 2: set to be able to create a better product, and

488
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 2: we think we can profit off of that well. And

489
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 2: clearly Costco is thriving. I mean, I mean stock price recently.

490
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 2: But I'll believe you, I haven't looked at the sock perss.

491
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 2: I'm just talking about retail alone. Go we were there

492
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 2: in This is anecdotal. I mean last weekend, it was

493
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 2: absolutely crazy there.

494
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: I know.

495
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 3: I brought it up a few weeks ago my brother

496
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,959
Speaker 3: in law had his first Costco hot dog. They had

497
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 3: just expanded into Michigan in his area. They must be

498
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 3: doing something right.

499
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,719
Speaker 2: And good on them, and they want if they want

500
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 2: to pay twenty dollars an hour, great average thirty one

501
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 2: dollars an hour and let people go to college thirty

502
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 2: one dollars an hour, another five bucks.

503
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: You can be doing OnlyFans at Costco. Honestly, that would

504
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: sell buying your only fans and fault. Absolutely.

505
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: It seems that every week there's a story about a

506
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 2: trend happening in the workplace.

507
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: That is, you're all new and.

508
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 2: Inventive and a real problem as employees deal with the

509
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 2: pressures of today's world, to which many of us say,

510
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 2: you know, most people know how to be professional and

511
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 2: keep their home life at home and not bring it

512
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 2: to work with them and think that everybody else has

513
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 2: to be subjected to whatever it is that's going on.

514
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: In your life. I'm not opposed to being kind.

515
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 2: And compassionate, but show up to work so you can

00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 2: new term fingers maloy. According to the everygirl dot com

523
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 2: good Lord, shift sulking, Yes, fingers, would you like to

524
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 2: explain what a little shift sulking is?

525
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 1: So?

526
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 3: Shift sulking Apparently, it's an informal workplace term when an

527
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 3: employee shows up and for whatever reason, whether it's stuff

528
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 3: that's happens at home or at the workplace, where things

529
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 3: aren't going their way right and because of this they

530
00:28:54,040 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 3: decide to disengage from the office and the workforce, but

531
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 3: they emotionally check out, They do the bare minimum, and

532
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 3: they're just professionally grumpy. And this has not only a

533
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 3: negative impact on that person's life, but also everyone else

534
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 3: in the office.

535
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, how dare you bring your home life to work?

536
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 2: How dare you? How dare you?

537
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: You?

538
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 2: Selfish, elitist, snob, jerkface punk?

539
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: I think that's all I'm not saying radio, because I

540
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: have more I'd say.

541
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 3: It's not just exclusively bringing your home life to work.

542
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 3: It's also if things don't go your way at the office,

543
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 3: it is then you take it out on everybody.

544
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: Ah, yeah, you're fired, you're fired.

545
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 2: No, hr, I don't have to like running through some

546
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 2: corporate board. I don't have to take three weeks. I

547
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 2: don't have to give you a time out and retrain.

548
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 2: Now you're gone, goodbye. You're not able to handle yourself emotionally,

549
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 2: you gotta go.

550
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: There was a where I.

551
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 2: Would not have been able to handle myself emotionally, and

552
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 2: I should have been fired repeatedly. Of course, why should

553
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 2: anybody have had to put up with my nonsense, trash, garbage, ridiculousness.

554
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 3: But you want to know what the symptoms are. What

555
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 3: shift sulking looks like, Tony, Oh, I can guess.

556
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: Wait, what is shift sulking?

557
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 3: So you give short, flat answers to your coworkers, Yep,

558
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 3: sure whatever, no extra effort or initiative. Yeah, well I've

559
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 3: seen that before, clock watching like it's an Olympic sport, right,

560
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 3: A body language that says I'm here against my will.

561
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: Which is most people at work zero interest in team

562
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: morale activities. Well I can agree with that one. I

563
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: can we just just say everybody's shift sulking, That's just it.

564
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 2: It's just some people are proferred. I mean, some people

565
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 2: enjoy their work and I'm good I do. Uh, stop

566
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 2: back like you're special. You're not special. Who told you

567
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 2: that your mother is a liar? Don't you know that already?

568
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 2: Your mom lied, Your dad probably ran out, and that's

569
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 2: why you're sulking. And because your mother is such a liar,

570
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 2: you you just get over yourself, show up, do the job,

571
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 2: and then go find something that is more to your

572
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 2: comfort level or skill set or enjoyment or where you

573
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 2: think your place in the world is.

574
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: You're not special. You're not special. My mom said, I

575
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: was special. Your mother lied she's dead, but how many? Wow?

576
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: That was unnecessary. She's laughing she laughed at that joke.

577
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: Yes she did. But here's the deal, Tony, they don't.

578
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 3: I feel like we did this same story six months ago,

579
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 3: and back then it was called quiet quitting, right, and

580
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 3: now it's shifts Sulking.

581
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: I feel like there are just a bunch of people,

582
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: and maybe.

583
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 3: They're influencers or you've got people in HR trying to

584
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 3: come up with different terms to basically say, you know what,

585
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 3: my employee doesn't give a rats, you know what anymore

586
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 3: ridiculously spoiled, pathetic, emotionally unstable children.

587
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: Well, that is a little long shift, Sulking, Wady, is

588
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: it kind of easier?

589
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 3: The management position would be that your employee has an

590
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 3: attitude problem. The worker thinks that basically, I'm done caring

591
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 3: about caring more than the system does. Why should I care?

592
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 3: The system doesn't care about me, The company doesn't care

593
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 3: about me. I'm going to sulk and I'm bringing this

594
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 3: whole ship down with me.

595
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: This is the problem the system. Let's argue that the

596
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: system doesn't care about you. Here's the question.

597
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 2: Do you care about you? Do you care about how

598
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 2: you carry yourself. Do you care about how you present yourself?

599
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 2: Do you care about what effort you put in so

600
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 2: you can see what it is your work did at

601
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 2: the end of the day. If you care about yourself

602
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 2: and you say this place doesn't care about me, I

603
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 2: should go somewhere else.

604
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: But when you do not care.

605
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:11,479
Speaker 2: About yourself and you complain that others don't care about you,

606
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 2: the system doesn't care about you, this and that and

607
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 2: the other, you don't understand clearly that you are the problem.

608
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 2: Because it starts from what is it that I want?

609
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 2: What is it that I need? What is it that

610
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 2: I'm willing to accept? And can I accept the fact

611
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 2: that right now I'm not in a great place and

612
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 2: right now this work is not a great place for

613
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 2: me to be. But if I just stay calm, start

614
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 2: looking for something else, start working on a couple of

615
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 2: these issues, that then allow me the other opportunities. This

616
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 2: is not, for forever the single greatest expression in my household.

617
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 2: This doesn't come This is the first expression or first

618
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 2: thought process I ever came up with that didn't come

619
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 2: from family, didn't come from my father, didn't come from

620
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 2: somebody else.

621
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: Where you start is not where you end.

622
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 2: Once you build that into your life, you realize that

623
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,399
Speaker 2: you are working towards whatever it is that goal is now.

624
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: That goal could be monetary, and that goal could be

625
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,240
