I'm gonna get reimbursed this 14 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,319 Speaker 3: time around. I swear to god, I'm the worst about this. 15 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 3: But today we are actually kind of going back to 16 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 3: the root of what we were doing doing with the 17 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 3: Happy Hour, even though we love what it is, what 18 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 3: has become I guess what is bloomed to become. But 19 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 3: we are featuring an actual liquor or company led by 20 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 3: a group of women, specifically Yola Helminez as well as 21 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 3: Leaky Lee, which is the musician as you know of it, 22 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 3: and Gina correll Aglietti who has formed this company together 23 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 3: very purposefully, all women led. When we'd love to see it. 24 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 3: And here is a little bit from them, it says. 25 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 3: After spending time abroad, Yola Jimenez was drawn back to 26 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 3: the slow pleasures of her native Wahaka, where she inherited 27 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 3: her grandfather's farm in two thousand and seven and began 28 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 3: debating her relationship to the land and the mescal it produces. 29 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 3: Is not coincidence that this moment aligns with the drink's 30 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 3: sudden rise in popularity. Yola was one of the movement's 31 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 3: earliest pioneers. Along with two friends, she opened one of 32 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 3: Mexico City's first mess calarias. She sold small batches of 33 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 3: her farm's production to a handful of innovative chefs, laying 34 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 3: the groundwork for their current global community of creatives, and 35 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 3: they suggested using her name to celebrate its roots as 36 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 3: the passion project of a woman and a local. So yes, 37 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 3: today we are drinking Yola Mescal. Go ahead and be 38 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 3: really transparent. I do not like mescal so as I'm 39 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 3: drinking and maybe reviewing it. If you don't hear the 40 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 3: passion in my voice, it is because I am not 41 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 3: the biggest fan of messcal, not necessarily this distillery, because 42 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 3: I'm excited about what they're doing and how they're doing it. 43 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 3: But in general, when it comes to like mescals, anything 44 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 3: smoky like this and Scotch, all I taste is burnt 45 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 3: duct tape and it's really hard for me to get 46 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 3: past that. So and did make a cocktail. We're going 47 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 3: to talk about what I made in a minute. 48 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: And I still don't. 49 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 3: Love it, but I can still taste what is quality 50 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 3: and what isn't you know what I mean? So I 51 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 3: will say that, but yes, complete transparency with that. 52 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest fan. But any you love mescal. 53 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 4: I love mescal. It is one of my favorites. I 54 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 4: love Scotch. I love like kind of the in the 55 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 4: back of your throat smoky taste. I remember the first 56 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 4: time I had mescal and I was like, where have 57 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 4: you been my whole life? 58 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 2: So that's good. We can balance each other out. 59 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 1: We do. 60 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 3: And that's the other part to this is just because 61 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 3: I don't like it doesn't mean it shouldn't be featured 62 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 3: or talked about. So that's just a personal taste for 63 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 3: me in general, because I do not enjoy the smoky taste. 64 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 3: For me, I like the burning of liquor alcohol. I 65 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 3: like that sensation. I don't like the actual taste of it. Again, 66 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 3: I don't know if I've been traumatized, and I don't 67 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 3: know if I've made up some scenario in my head 68 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 3: because I imagine, again this is very specific and trigger warning. 69 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 3: If anybody's been in a car wreck, don't listen to 70 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 3: this part. But like if there was a car wreck, 71 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 3: the car gets set on fire, the leather seats which 72 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 3: may have had duct tape on at one point in time. 73 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: I don't know why. 74 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 3: This is very specific to me, and it burns and 75 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 3: then you walk to it that says freshly burned, that's 76 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 3: what it tastes like. 77 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 2: To me, Well, that's very funny. 78 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 4: And you say that because there is a distillery in 79 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 4: Atlanta that has a scotch that is called tire Fire. 80 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: Yes they do. They have that scotch whiskey, and I 81 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: also hate that one. 82 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 4: But it's a very specific. It is like a burning 83 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 4: smoky taste. 84 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, yes, the smoky that is the best description. 85 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 3: And I will and their site continues. I do want 86 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 3: to say, like, outside of this what they say, it 87 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 3: says it's clear from the start that a women led 88 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 3: company from Wahaka should also be women operated. Our mester Mescallera, 89 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 3: a role traditionally held by men. Is Guadalupe Batista, who 90 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 3: is Javier's daughter, and I are mezcal is distilled and 91 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 3: bottled by an all female team on our namesakes farm 92 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 3: from the most intimate dinners to a massive music festival. 93 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 3: We've produced and hosted dozens of events where women had 94 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 3: the tables, chefs, artists, musicians, So you know, we love 95 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 3: that and we celebrate that as well. So therefore, of 96 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 3: course we have to talk about this and celebrate it 97 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 3: as well. I actually did have to order it. I 98 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 3: couldn't find any locally. I think there was one in 99 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 3: like Alfaretta, Georgia, So if you're from Georgia, you know 100 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 3: that's about forty minutes out of Atlanta, so it was 101 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 3: a little farther away. So I did get it directly 102 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 3: from the company. I think they use a third party system. 103 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 3: It came so quickly, too, like so quickly. I was 104 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 3: very surprised how quickly it came, because I think I 105 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 3: ordered on Wednesday, Tuesday, I told you I was going 106 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 3: to do it, and it came Friday, and I was like, wow, okay, 107 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 3: then they're ready and the bottle is very cute. My 108 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 3: partner is very excited because he also loves Moscow, and 109 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 3: I can't stay this so that don't have it because 110 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 3: typically I'm much like the statistics. I'm the purchaser in 111 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 3: the house, so I don't get it if I don't 112 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 3: like it. Kind of same thing with Mayah. I never 113 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 3: bought it until I had moved in with my partner 114 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 3: who loves me, and I'm like, this is disgusting. So 115 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 3: I very rarely get it and I never think about it. 116 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 3: But then I'm like, oh, yeah, I guess he does 117 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 3: like it. But mescal is also on that list, so 118 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 3: very impressive how quickly it came. He's excited. It is 119 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 3: very beautiful bottle, very wonderfully done, and you can go 120 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 3: on their site and see their whole process. They talk 121 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 3: about the distillery, they talk about how they get it done, 122 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 3: the agave process, the distilling process, and it's a whole. 123 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 3: I mean, just like with any fine liquors, you know, 124 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 3: it's a process and it is a craft. 125 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, so. 126 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 3: In According to one mescal review I believe it's called 127 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 3: miscal review dot com, they say, Yolo Mescal is handcrafted 128 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 3: using a family recipe, using agaves, harvested on a family 129 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 3: farm that was purchased in nineteen seventy one. It is 130 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 3: produced in San Juan del Rio. Agaves are roasted in 131 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 3: an earthen oven for seventy five hours in the spring 132 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 3: and summer and eighty six hours in the fall and winter. 133 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 3: The cooked plants are crushed by tahona and then fermented 134 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 3: in oak barrels with filtered spring water and captured rainwater. 135 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 3: The first distillation takes about ten hours and the second 136 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 3: is slower and takes about fifteen hours. The copper pot 137 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 3: made at Mescal is distilled to proof and hand bottled 138 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 3: on site. 139 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: So very very thorough. Interesting. 140 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 3: Back to the Yolow Mescal site, it says the tasting 141 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 3: notes are opens with striking flavors of peppered citrus that 142 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 3: give way to a soothing, smoky finish, and then the 143 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 3: Mescal review says the flavors are bright and refreshing, yet 144 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 3: complex with earthy mineral flavors. So, Annie, did you actually 145 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 3: take a sip of it on its own? What is 146 00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 3: your flavor profile to this? 147 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 4: I think that's really accurate because the first when I 148 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 4: took a sip, at first, I was like, oh wow, 149 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,119 Speaker 4: you know, this is a very light. The smokiness isn't 150 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 4: really there as strongly as I'm used to with mezcal, 151 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 4: but then in the finish it came in. So I 152 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 4: think these are these are great descriptions because it does 153 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 4: open kind of like you can still taste that smokiness, 154 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 4: but it's a bit lighter. But as the as the 155 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 4: taste continues and builds, it comes in at the end. 156 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 2: Am I doing well? 157 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:37,719 Speaker 1: You were doing such a great job. 158 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 3: It's been a long time since we've done I will say, 159 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 3: while you were doing that, I decided to take a 160 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 3: taste on my own because I'm doing it. 161 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: I was like, you know, I'll do it on Mike, 162 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: just making faces at you. 163 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 2: I don't mean I was like, oh wow, she thinks 164 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 2: I'm a total more. 165 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 3: I think you did a great job because I need 166 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 3: I will depend on you because all I can focus 167 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 3: on is this moment. But I will say it does 168 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 3: have the beginning. It does have the beginning of a 169 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 3: tequila where it has that shot very quickly, very strong, 170 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 3: and then it I taste the duct tape at the end. No, 171 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 3: just kidding, you know, hell, you know we're talking about 172 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 3: when you rip open duct tape and you smelled it 173 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 3: hits you, you'll think about it like when you like, 174 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 3: oh there's a smell as you rip open duct tape, 175 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 3: you're like wow. Anyway, but it does finish with that. 176 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 3: But I will say, because it is sweet, it's not 177 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 3: the worst. Like I've definitely had. 178 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 1: Worse alcohols, a lot of worse alcohols. 179 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 3: With with my flavor tasting on that and it's not 180 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 3: so bad that I couldn't but I needed an immediate 181 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 3: aftershot because it does stay on my tongue and I 182 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 3: could see why people like it. 183 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: This is just not my preference in like what I 184 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: would have, but it. 185 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 3: Does very It's sweeter than I anticipated as well as 186 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 3: it sits on the tongue. It kind of is a 187 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 3: sweetened taste almost as I guess the gave and like you, 188 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 3: if you are familiar and use a gave, then you 189 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 3: know that that levelsweetness. And it's not overwhelming because it 190 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 3: doesn't taste like anything but sweetness to me. Like honey 191 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 3: has a very specific sweet taste. This is kind of 192 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 3: that level of that difference. So yeah, I can see 193 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 3: why it's uh loved by so many. It smells like 194 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 3: a sweet or tequila with some smokiness. To me, I 195 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 3: guess that's a good way for me to describe it 196 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 3: in my reference because I don't drink mescal in general 197 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 3: as a thing. So and then I was trying to 198 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 3: see if we could find any of their own respaces. 199 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 3: Many of their companies have create their own signature cocktails, 200 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 3: but I couldn't find it. And it may just been 201 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 3: like they have their own separate thing, but that means 202 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 3: that meant that I was like, hey, can you do 203 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 3: your own cocktail? And he's like, of course, so, any 204 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 3: what did you make? 205 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 2: Well? 206 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 4: I don't think this will surprise anyone, but I made 207 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 4: the most simple cocktail. I looked up like mescal cocktails 208 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 4: and pretty much the only one I had all the 209 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 4: ingredients for was called mescal water and oh yeah, yeah, 210 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 4: it's just like mezcal, the sparkling water and then a 211 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 4: citrus and I use lime, so it is sort of 212 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 4: a not quite margarita, but in that realm. Yeah, and 213 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 4: it's very lovely and very refreshing. 214 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: I saw that. 215 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 3: I was like, okay, So I went through different different 216 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 3: recipes and I do have a pretty stock bar and 217 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 3: I found one in Food and Wine that calls for 218 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 3: tart cherry slurry. I guess where you make your own, 219 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 3: and I'm not doing that or puree. 220 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: I did not do that. 221 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 3: I have a tart cherry juice because I have been 222 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 3: drinking the Sleepy Time mocktails for those of you who 223 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 3: are familiar from TikTok, I've been doing those and tart 224 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 3: cherry juices. Now I'm my refrigerator, so I was like, 225 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 3: I'll just use that. 226 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: So I made that with a little bit of a gave. 227 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 3: A lash of orange bitters cointroll because it does call 228 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 3: for that, and I like it sparkly, so I added 229 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 3: little bit of ginger el, but it was flat. 230 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 1: Oh no, the tonic water, so that did help. 231 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 3: So they're calling it a sour cherry margarita, very simple. 232 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 3: I want to messcal margarita. I'm gonna call it something 233 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 3: else because obviously I did it something odd completely on 234 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 3: its own. I'm not really sure what I would call it, 235 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 3: so and you'll have to think of help me think 236 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 3: of a name. Yeah, but yeah, So I tried it, 237 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 3: and because all I could taste was muscal, it's like, 238 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 3: oh my gosh, So it tastes like smoky cherry juice 239 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 3: to me, but it's actually getting better with some ice 240 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 3: in it. It's delicious. Actually, I'm like, okay, I wouldn't drink. 241 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 3: I wouldn't choose this drink, right. I did have someone, 242 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 3: my partner, who does like messcal. 243 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 2: He tried it. 244 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 3: He really liked it, so he's like, oh, oh yeah, 245 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 3: I like that.
