Speaker 2: This is a blend of five six and seven year

27
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: old bourbons Fingers muloy. I want to say we've done

28
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: something fifteen stars before, but I can't quite remember what

29
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: it is.

30
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: But I know we haven't done this. Oh that's pretty.

Speaker 2: Five six and seven year old Kentucky Bourbon.

32
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,360

33
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: Blend idea more and more, I will admit. I mean,

34
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: I can appreciate single barrows. I can appreciate what's happening.

35
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: But if you want to create something where you're able

36
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: to get longevity and you know, be able to offer

37
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: it out more of the product to more people, the

38
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: blends make perfect sense. And I'm starting to get a

39
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: real appreciation that it doesn't just have to be the

40
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 2: single barrel. It doesn't just have to be this what

41
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: you're you're told is all, well, that's what makes it good.

42
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,080

43
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:21,600

Speaker 2: This got released like eight months ago. This is July

45
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, and that knows. First of all, the

46
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: color here a little more in the in the in

47
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: the honey, right, a little orange, not necessarily amber, not

48
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: necessarily red.

49
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, in the orange honey. That's fair.

50
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 3: I would agree with you there as far as on

51
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: the nose, I'm getting a nice bit of oak, no alcohol,

52
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: ethanol at all, and.

53
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: Some vanilla and that's about it. Now.

54
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, it's definitely sweet. It is a

Speaker 2: caramel vanilla whet. It's a little it's a little sugary.

56
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 2: It is a little sugary on the nose. You can

57
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: apply that flavor, I think kind of anyway you would,

58
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: you would like it's it's nice there there. There's there's

64
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:35,600

Speaker 2: to get a feeling a flavor for the flavors. Yeah,

69
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: I said that right. I'm a believer in the two

70
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: SIPs methodology. The first sip to set the taste buds

71
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: the second sip to really get an idea of the flavors.

106
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: There not as thick, not as rich as I thought.

107
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: It would be, played much thinner than that. That finish

108
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 2: is nice, now, okay, now that's where the oak is.

109
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 2: The oak was absolutely not there on on the pallette,

110
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: not at all I thought it. I thought it was

111
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 2: a little thin.

112
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: It was. It was pleasant.

113
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: It's like, okay, oh, it's all in the finish, and

114
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 2: now it's creeping itself down and into the chest.

115
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: Now it's happening in the finish. That's very good.

116
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 3: Are you getting chocolate on the finish too? Am I

117
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 3: talking you into chocolate on the finish? Are you insepting me?

118
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: What can I do to put you in chocolate in

119

00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: Um?

121
00:06:54,040 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 2: No, Now I can't say that that I do. I

122
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,000

123
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 2: is kind of lasting. It's still on the tongue. The

124
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 2: finish is very pleasant.

125
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: I was right about warm. I was right about warm.

126
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: It didn't hit that way.

127
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 2: It has become that way now I'm good. Sixty seconds

128

Speaker 2: it's all there, and that's not That is fine that

130
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,360

Speaker 2: the palette, want a little more punch, a little more flavor,

00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: a little more shape, there's gonna be a man. I

133
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 2: wish there was a little bit more there. It is

134
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: a little thin. But if you're willing to wait for

135
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: that finish, that is all right. The first West toasted

150
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 2: that to be the case. It just is a little

151
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,559

00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 2: dangerous ingredient, and fancy cocktails can cause your stomach to explode.

159
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 2: And that's why Fingers stopped drinking fancy cocktails years ago.

160
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 3: Oh see, I thought you were gonna go with a

161
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 3: crystal pepsi joke.

162
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: Semi style.

163
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: The story is is that if you've ever seen a

164
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: fancy drink, you know, yeah, you walked into the to

165
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 2: the to the saloon, and you said, barkeep, let's how

166
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 2: you do.

167
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: It, right, that's how you do it. Tell me how

168
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 1: you do it, barkeep.

169
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 2: That's what I thought, which is different than the ShopKeep

170
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 2: because that sounds like this ShopKeep, and and you get

171
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 2: a joke.

172
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: That you got it.

173
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 2: You got a drink, not a joke. I'm an idiot.

174
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 2: That looks like smoke or fog. It likely contains liquid nitrogen.

175
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: Nitrogen gas that's been super cooled into a liquid very cold.

176
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 2: Has to be held in special containers because it boils

177
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: at room temperature. It can cause frostbite when in contact

178
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 2: with skin or the tissues, and if you were to

179
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: drink that regularly, you.

180
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: Will immediately die. Hold on, wait that, our lawyer said,

181
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: we can't say that.

182
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 2: Some people think that it is super coold to put

183
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 2: liquid nitrogen into a beverage and watch the fog that

184
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: comes out of the drink.

185
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: So you could take a pick for your social media.

186
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: But not everyone is aware of the risks that come

187
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 2: with a drinking a drink made with liquid nitrogen.

188
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: It's a ticking time bomb. That also me that's not

189
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: in the article whatsoever.

190
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 3: I'm just glad you corrected yourself because I don't want

191
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 3: to get sued by big Liquid Nitrogen right because their

192
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 3: lawyers have deep, deep pockets.

193
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: And they'll put the freeze on you.

194
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 3: You're welcome, You've just been dead joked.

195
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: How many of these do you have to drink?

196
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 2: Because if you drink them, you'll have this this this

197
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 2: your belly and it'll move and it'll cause a distended

198
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 2: abdomen and that can crush other organs and can have

199
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: respiratory failures and internal bleeding.

200
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: And then the if that.

201
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: Stuff can freeze tissues and that exacerbates the damage and

202
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: then you'll get the gout.

203
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of this happening?

204
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 2: No?

205
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 3: And I wonder listen, you know you usually see these

206
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 3: cocktails in these fancy cocktail lounges, and when you're ordering

207
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 3: something like this. It usually costs somewhere in the neighborhood

208
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 3: of seventy four dollars, right, who is drinking one after another?

209
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 3: And the other thing too, is don't you think you

210
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 3: would think at some point after you have one, you'd

211
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 3: be like, Okay, that was that was nice, But I

212
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 3: think I'm going to try something else.

213
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: Now.

214
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 3: Does the liquid nitrogen really up the flavor profile on

215
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 3: a drink where you're like, you know what, this would

216
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 3: have been good, but boy, they put that liquid nitrogen

217
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 3: in and now it's a festival of flavor.

218
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 2: I think that you are having trouble separating the moment

219
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: of enjoyment and the moment of enjoying being in the

220
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: lead a snomp.

221
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: I think that's your that's your issue. Fingers.

Speaker 2: That's a true story. She was very special, very special.

259
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 3: I just can't equate that little skit you did, following

00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 3: that up with I need cold cuts.

Speaker 2: call soda pop, right.

264
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,040

Speaker 3: Yeah, when I'm with Michigan people, I call it soda

266
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:35,080

267
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 3: I know call it soda, I call it pop. It's

Speaker 3: a little game I like to play. People really enjoy it.

269
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 3: The whole term lunch meat I find gross. It's gross.

270
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 2: Why because does it sound so unappealing lunch meat?

271
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,640

Speaker 2: While you find everything we do at etrinksmokeshow dot com.

315
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: We are smoking from room one oh one.

316
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: It is the Connecticut supertro six by fifty six. Now

317
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 2: it's spelled farcee. I thought it was farse. Finger said,

318
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 2: what if it's far che And I like, I don't

319
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 2: know how it's pronounced.

320
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,479
Speaker 1: Actually I was half joking, But now it's all it's

321
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: all I can think about.

322
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 2: It's all I can think about so uh uh, Matt

323
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 2: booth and room one on one? How is it properly pronounced?

324
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 2: It is a really interesting connecticut here. Now I've had

325
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 2: a couple of issues with it, but we also set

326
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 2: it down. We're doing other things in the show, talking

327
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 2: a lot, so sometimes that happens. Also could be a

328
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 2: humid or issue that I'm having. But it's in the

329
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 2: main smoking, very lovely. It has very much smoothed out

330
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 2: from a lot of that cocoa bittersweet kind of little

331
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 2: coffee big wood spice that I got at the first

332
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 2: that was a little too much. It's now settled into

333
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 2: a nice, easy connecticut. But I would not call it creamy,

334
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: and I think it's got a little more punched to it.

335
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 2: So this is definitely playing in the medium. But it

336
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 2: doesn't have, you know, a nuttiness, a nutty cream to it.

337
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,239
Speaker 2: It doesn't have a vanilla to it. It doesn't have

338
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 2: that kind of softness. It's fine, it's not overpowering. Now

339
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 2: there's a little bit of richness to it, but I'm

340
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 2: not sure what exactly that flavor is. So at twelve

341
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 2: dollars and fifty cents of stick, it is nice, but

342
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: I don't know. Compared to other room one on one

343
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 2: products that I've had, I think I'm in. I'm up

344
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 2: for those things more than this, but it also could

345
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 2: just be me, which is why I always suggest smoking

346
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 2: it again, right, different things you ate, you drank, Whether

347
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 2: all those things affecting palate could really affect the whole

348
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: flavor profile.

349
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 3: At the beginning of the show, you mentioned you thought

350
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 3: it was smoking like a medium.

351
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: Yes, have you changed your mind on it? I'm still there.

352
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: I'm still there at the medium.

353
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 3: I'm still I was at mild, and now I'm starting

354
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 3: to go into more of the medium camp as I'm

355
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 3: getting into the final third. For me, you know, I

356
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 3: had that those cedar notes, you know, going back for

357
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 3: between cedar and hay. There's a little bit of a

358
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 3: creamy sweetness to it that's gone away, and now a

359
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 3: good bit of spice is picked up as I've gotten

360
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 3: into the final third. And I'm still a yes on

361
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 3: this because you know, it's it's something different that normally

362
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 3: isn't in my humidor, but something that at that price

363
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 3: point twelve dollars twelve to fifty a stick, and we're

364
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 3: gonna you know, we've been smoking this for a while.

365
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 3: I think it's a yes for me, but we both

366
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 3: had issues with it. Yeah, it could totally be just

367
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 3: this particular stick, and you know that it was, you know,

368
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 3: a tough, really hard to draw.

369
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:22,239
Speaker 1: You know.

370
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 2: I will say I thought I was gonna have more

371
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 2: issues with it. I've had less issues than I thought.

372
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 2: But I don't know if it's the stick or my

373
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 2: human orth this stitch. Yeah, it's just been a tight

374
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 2: draw for me. And I've done the old pinchion roll

375
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 2: and it's gotten better now that I'm in the final third.

376
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 2: But at this point I lean yes. And we are

377
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 2: drinking from fifteen stars. The first West Toasted Oak Kentucky

378
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 2: straight bourbon whiskey. I thought this was thin, had a nice, nice,

379
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 2: appealing sweet nose. I thought this was thin on the pallet,

380
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 2: but the finish really came out with the oak, a

381
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: little bit of that spice. You asked, do I get chocolate?

382
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 2: I did not, And I thought that that finish lasted.

383
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 2: I thought that finish was outrageously pleasant. My question was

384
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 2: would people be willing to forego the lack of palate

385
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 2: to get to the finish?

386
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: And I think people want both, but I could be wrong.

387
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: You got different flavors out of this.

388
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 3: I got vanilla, the oak, and that spice really hits you.

389
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 3: And then on the on the finish, I got some chocolate.

390
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 3: It wasn't so delayed my satisfaction with this as it

391
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 3: was for you. But I will say, seventy dollars for

392
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 3: me is a no. Fifty I would I would think

393
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 3: about it, and I would definitely recommend it at your

394
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 3: favorite cigar lounge, especially a cigar lounge, to try a

395
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 3: poor and see what you think.

396
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: So I added a cube. You can hear it. It's

397
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 1: kind of melted in there.

398
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 2: So ice or water will bring down proof. Right, this

399
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 2: is ninety eight proof. It'll bring down proof, the only

400
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 2: thing you can bring down proof. And it will change complexion.

401
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 2: Some things we will pronounced some things more muted fingers

402
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 2: added a little bit of water to his spicier, spicier

403
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 2: in the palate, spicier in the finish, still getting the oak.

404
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 2: This is msrping seventy dollars. I found it on sale

405
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 2: for fifty one. I think I liked it better neat

406
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 2: than with the cube, and I just don't think this

407
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 2: matches my overall flavor profile. I think that The missing

408
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 2: of the palate for me is more than I want.

409
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: If I had oak on the pallet, I had a

410
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 2: real rich oak going going in, I think i'd feel

411
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: differently because it is nice.

412
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: It is nice.

413
00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 2: I just it's it's big. It's big on spice, and

414
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: right now with the cube, it's really staying there in

415
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 2: the chest. Now it's hit the chest.

416
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 3: But you had a little bit of water, what's a

417
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 3: I would agree with you on it being thin because

418
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 3: there's no real coating that lingers on your on your tongue,

419
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 3: and that spice does hit you a little bit more

420
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 3: with a little bit of water in it. I'm still

421
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 3: getting oak and a little bit of chocolate on the

422
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 3: finish listen. For me, this is all about value and

423
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 3: you start talking seventy dollars a bottle, I can think

424
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 3: of bourbon that I like that I could buy two

425
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 3: bottles for at that price. I would definitely if I

426
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 3: were out on the town and I saw this at

427
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 3: a lounge, I would get a poor Yeah, it's I

428
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 3: like it. I just don't know at that price point.

429
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 3: If it's something that I could say it would be

430
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 3: in my liquor cabinet. It's time fingers Boy for News

431
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 3: of the week. So, Tony, we have mentioned Kroger grocery

432
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 3: stores from time to time on this show for you know,

433
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 3: reasons that I don't really want to get in because

434
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 3: I want to actually be positive about Kroger.

435
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 1: They're trying to sell your cell phone service.

436
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 3: Yes, yeh, And it's happened quite a bit and it's

437
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 3: very annoying, and so I don't want to come across

438
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 3: as totally anti Kroger. Kroger is a very popular grocery

439
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 3: store chain in the Midwest and in the South. They

440
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 3: are rolling out Tony AI powered shopping carts.

441
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: This is very exciting.

442
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 3: They piloted this shopping cart program in Ohio, Texas, and Arizona.

443
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 3: You will be able with the AI powered touchscreen to

444
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 3: navigate store aisles and scan items and track what you're spending,

445
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 3: and even pay for your groceries right there at the

446
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 3: old grocery cart.

447
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: I don't care. We're just trying to Are you telling

448
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: me that it's such a hassle? You know what? Okay?

449
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: You in fine.

450
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 2: I don't want to talk to anybody. I don't want

451
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 2: to connect with anybody. Just put everything in the cart.

452
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 2: Tell me what I, Oh, why not just put the

453
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 2: chip right in my wrist and decide whether or not

454
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 2: I'm eating too many calories by what I'm buying.

455
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 3: Uh.

456
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 2: And and that's enough, because that's where we're going. That's

457
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 2: where we're going.

458
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 3: You took that to a really dark place. It is

459
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 3: the dark place I went from. Oh wouldn't it be

460
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 3: nice to be able to just have grocery bags on

461
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 3: you and scan the scan the item and put it

462
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 3: right in the bag and just walk out with the cart.

463
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 3: And you've got us with computer chips in our wrists

464
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 3: based on this.

465
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh absolutely absolutely.

466
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 2: What is it that that was in the Terminator movies whatever,

467
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 2: the sky Net or whatever, whatever, whatever it is that's

468
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 2: coming to be our overlord.

469
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: This is one step closer. It is, it is what

470
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: it is, what it is. We are.

471
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 2: We are just waiting to be run by the machines

472
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: and people who can't just get online and check out.

473
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 2: I we already have the Instacart where the food gets

474
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 2: dropped off.

475
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: At your home.

476
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 2: Now we need the AI to know what we're buying

477
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 2: so it can give us recipes. It could suggest No,

478
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 2: it's gonna suggest calorie counts. It's gonna suggest you're eating

479
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 2: too much of this and your doctor doesn't like it,

480
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 2: and then it's going to cross reference your medical records

481
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 2: and the next thing you know, you're not allowed to

482
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 2: buy that cake for dessert because you've already had your allotments.

483
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: We are all going to be slaves. Slaves, I say.

484
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 3: Thank you Kroger for making my shopping experience a little

485
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 3: bit easier.

486
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: And stop trying to sell me cell phone service. You

487
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: have freaks.

488
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. That's that is.

489
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 2: Every time Fingers walks in and someone's like, hey, i'd

490
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 2: your cell phone service, such a cell phone service, and

491
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 2: they open up their trench coat.

492
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: I want to check out some cell phone service. Eh. Eh.

493
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 3: The other day it was a satellite dish.

494
00:26:59,720 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 2: No.

495
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: Oh, well, I didn't think it was nineteen ninety three.

496
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 2: Being the Hoosiers that we are, of course, it was

497
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 2: all eyes on IU defeating Miami winning the national championship

498
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 2: twenty seven to twenty one, being sixteen and oh and

499
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 2: this is the turnaround story. Of turnaround stories, I want

500
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 2: to make sure I'm clear. There is no bigger turnaround

501
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 2: story in sports. This is it. What Kurt Signetti, coach

502
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 2: of the IU Hoosiers did with this football team did

503
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 2: with the city of Bloomington. It's Indiana University, and sometimes

504
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 2: people do call it University of Indiana. And then again

505
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 2: some people refer to the people who live here as

506
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 2: Indiana's and that's just sad. It's so set. It's Hoosiers people.

507
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 2: You can't help but celebrates, eat, drink, smoke. I'm Tony Katz.

508
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 2: That's America's favorite amateur drinker fingers bill boy. Oh, I

509
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 2: would have gotten so many emails if I didn't self

510
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 2: correct right there. It was the flow, the flow, I know,

511
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 2: I know, I know, but incredible, incredible, incredible victory, incredible season.

512
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 2: And there's talks, of course, as there always is, of hey,

513
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 2: how do we do this college playoff? And it was

514
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: was it really done right? And who got left out?

515
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: Notre Dame wasn't in the college playoff and they bout

516
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 2: out of bowl games like we're not interested? Thanks but no, thanks,

517
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 2: gotta go. So the there's tremendous money here, there's tremendous

518
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 2: opportunity here.

519
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: Do you think they do the college playoff?

520
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 2: Right?

521
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: No? How should they do? I don't know one thing?

522
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 3: They need to not have these smaller non Power five conference.

523
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 3: So no, jmus Now, I mean when you know that, Okay,

524
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 3: we're basically you want to be able to reward a

525
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 3: team for having a great season. But everybody knows that

526
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 3: they aren't going to win the national championship and they're

527
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 3: probably going to get blown out the first game that

528
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 3: they play. So what are we doing here? Why are

529
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 3: we having these teams in the tournament?

530
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 2: Everybody who is a potential competitor should be a real

531
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 2: potential competitor.

532
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, not a participation trophy.

533
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: I can appreciate that.

534
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 2: I don't think those teams would appreciate you saying that

535
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 2: about them, but I appreciate the math.

536
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: And I don't know if that means expanded or what

537
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: have you.

538
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 2: In the NFL, there's a story from NBC Sports where

539
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: Robert Kraft, who's the owner of the Patriots, says, I

540
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 2: want to tell you guys that we're going to push

541
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 2: like the Dickens now to make international games more important

542
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 2: with us. Every team will go to eighteen regular season games,

543
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 2: two preseason games, eliminate one of the preseason games, and

544
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 2: every team every year will play one game overseas.

545
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: Oh now, this of course is making the NFL an

546
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: international brand. This is about the money.

547
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 2: They've seen the results in in London and in were

548
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 2: they Madrid, they're Germany, right, Mexico City, they've played, so

549
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 2: they see this, they see the dollar signs.

550
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: Do the players want this?

551
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 2: Eighteen games two preseason, which is really not much of

552
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 2: a workout at all, by the way, and you're expected

553
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 2: to win all eighteen. It's an expectation that I don't

554
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 2: know is rational. They want the money, but they don't

555
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 2: want that schedule.

556
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 3: It's so unreasonable to expect some of these teams, especially

557
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 3: the real thing that really needs to be investigated when

558
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 3: it comes to the NFL and injuries, are these short

559
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 3: turnarounds to Thursday night football the NFL, and I can

560
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 3: understand why they're coming at it from this perspective. If

561
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 3: you look at the highest rated television shows, you know,

562
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 3: Top twenty, just single air, it's always games dominate and

563
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter if it's a really bad NFL game

564
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 3: on Thursday night, people are going to tune in and watch.

565
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 3: The problem is the players have such a short turnaround,

566
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 3: so they played on Sunday and now they're playing on Thursday. Yes,

567
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 3: the Lions, I'll give you give an example. They played

568
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 3: on the playoffs. They did not make it this year,

569
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 3: but that's okay. But the Bears did, Yes, they did.

570
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 3: Congratulations to Ben Johnson and the Chicago Bears and the

571
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 3: Green Bay Packers were in the playoffs.

572
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: Good for them. We'll see if they're all there next year.

573
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: That's all. I like it. I like the I like

574
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: the pro action there.

575
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 3: But the Lions played one extra preseason game because they

576
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 3: played in the Hall of Fame game, and then they

577
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 3: played on Thanksgiving and they played on Christmas. It's it's

578
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 3: really getting to the point where they are asking I

579
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 3: believe too much from these guys. You know, they're talking

580
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 3: about this eighteenth game regular season with all the injuries,

581
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 3: a lot of soft tissue stuff.

582
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: You know, I look.

583
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 3: With George Kittle from San Francisco blew out his achilles.

584
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 3: I think of you know, several NFL players that blew

585
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 3: out achilles this year. Adding the eighteenth game, It's going

586
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 3: to be interesting how they go about doing it, because

587
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 3: are they going to introduce a second bye week for

588
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 3: these players and be like, Okay, this is the this

589
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 3: is the thing that we will concede. We'll give you

590
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 3: a second bye now.

591
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: It's a nineteen week see, no way, it's a twenty

592
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:33,959
Speaker 1: week season.

593
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 3: Yes, So basically they'll be playing NFL football into March.

594
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: Twenty week season that is five months.

595
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 2: Now, you've got two preseason games, then you've got playoffs.

596
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: I was exaggerating, but.

597
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 2: No, but you'll be starting in early August and you

598
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 2: would be playing through February.

599
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 3: Pretty close to it, pretty close to the end of February. Yeah,

600
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 3: but you know, Robert Kraft brings up. Listen, the salary

601
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 3: cap keeps going up, up, up up. You know, we

602
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 3: need more revenue. You know, these streaming services, all of

603
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,719
Speaker 3: them are begging for more NFL football. So now you're

604
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 3: in a situation where you're trying to make those entities

605
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 3: happy and in the consumer of course, sits back and

606
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 3: they feel like they're being taken advantage of between having

607
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 3: one home game possibly taken away from you to let

608
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 3: your team play in London or Berlin. To okay, you

609
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 3: want to see your team, you have to have cable

610
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 3: and five different streaming services. It's getting outrageous, doesn't the

611
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 3: team not playing eight well, it'll be more than eight

612
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 3: home games.

613
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 2: Now I'm taking the autritional sixteen week season the old school.

614
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 2: So doesn't this take away from the idea of not

615
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: just a season ticket holders?

616
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: But why would I build you.

617
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 2: A stadium when you're going to be playing so many

618
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 2: of your games not in the stadium?

619
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: Why am I? Why am I spending.

620
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 2: There's a whole story in Indiana about the possibility of

621
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 2: the Bears coming and putting their stadium in Northwest Indiana,

622
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 2: and I'm all in favor of this, although I have

623
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 2: real issues with some of the floated plans for how

624
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 2: this would be built and where the money comes from.

625
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,720
Speaker 2: I'm in favor of the revitalization of Northwest Indiana. Hammond

626
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 2: and Garry, these areas that you may have heard of

627
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 2: that have that been for years just horrible, and they've

628
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 2: wanted to build it just hasn't come and people aren't

629
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 2: coming there, and this would be a huge revitalization. But

630
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 2: now I'm going to put up a billion plus dollars

631
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 2: for a stadium and this teams think they should be

632
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 2: able to own the stadiums and you're not even gonna

633
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 2: be there full time.

634
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 3: It is quite an ask, isn't that It's a huge ask? Yeah, Well,

635
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 3: ideally for the NFL's perspective, and they just haven't been

636
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 3: able to figure out a way to do it. Is

637
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 3: they would like one team in Europe, particularly London, figure

638
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 3: out the logistics. But at the end of the day,

639
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:06,479
Speaker 3: you have to convince players to your first round draft pick.

640
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 3: You lived in Texas your entire life, and oh now

641
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 3: you're moving to London. That also is a big ask,

642
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 3: but you know what, you know, you know it's a

643
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:16,040
