Join us for a spirited session with Keegan, Norm, and Zach as we explore the enchanting world of Compass Box's latest creation, the Art and Decadence bottle. Aged in five different dessert wine casks, this not-yet-released scotch promises a symphony of flavors that will captivate your palate. We dive into the details of its non-chill filtering process and recount an exclusive tasting experience that celebrates the craftsmanship behind this luxurious release.
But that's not all—our conversation leads us into the enticing realm of Compass Box's limited-edition collections. Imagine the complexity that comes from blending up to 12 different types of scotch, each finished in unique wine casks. We spotlight a particular limited-edition release renowned for its smooth, caramel, and buttery notes, perfect for a dessert scotch. Plus, we discuss the beloved tradition of collectors camping overnight at the distillery to snag these coveted bottles, along with some creative pairing ideas to elevate your tasting experience.
Our banter doesn't stop there. From recounting a wild night out at a concert to celebrating a friend's birthday with rare and delightful spirits, we share stories that are both humorous and heartfelt.

You want to say which one you are? No, okay, and I'm Keegan. And today we're going to be drinking something a little special and kind of cool as hell.

Speaker 3:Did you say betwixt.
Speaker 2:He did not, but he should have.
Speaker 3:Oh, I thought you said betwixt, no.
Speaker 2:Except for that Four Loko when we drank that we were not friends.
Speaker 3:I wanted to fight each of you. Zach still drinks Four Lokos Unironically. Yeah, like he'll be, like I need to get lit tonight.
Speaker 1:Dude, if I'm feeling fucking naughty, I might just reach for a fucking loco. How often do you?

Speaker 3:You know Well then what happens once in a four loco. Do you have a blue moon?
Speaker 1:he has a blue moon.
Speaker 3:Yes, okay, good balance, support it balance as all things should be.
Speaker 2:Um. So today we're going to be drinking some scotch, we're going to be drinking something from a uh, a company called compass box yeah, we've drank in some of their. I brought their stuff once oh, on the podcast, yeah, I don't remember it was like this apple one that's the one that we have to make cocktails out of. Oh, it is.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's the one I brought on the podcast.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so Compass Box really cool company. They're not a distiller, they are a what do they call themselves Whiskey makers, which is not a real word. Yeah, the box is really cool. It's very much like Art Deco style, very extravagant uh, gold and beveling and like, uh, what is that? Like a teal or seafoam?
Speaker 1:green color? I don't even know.
Speaker 2:It's a beautiful, luxurious color emerald blue you could say it's a decadent color it is a decadent color it makes me want to eat it uh, what we're drinking today is their art and decadence bottle, which is a bottle that is not yet released.
Speaker 3:We got the world first we got a sneak peek baby World first premiere.
Speaker 2:It's no secret that we've given our Damn son, where'd you find this?
Speaker 3:Who needs a soundboard? We'll just have to order to them all.
Speaker 2:It's no secret that our general manager, joe, likes to hook it up for us sometimes, and this is no exception. So today, while I was working my one lunch shift, uh, we had a bunch of people coming in and tasting a bunch of stuff. We had some representatives from the compass box company come in and what they did was we got to try all of their currently available stuff.
Speaker 3:They have some cool stuff. Yeah, I'm fucking jacked up now bro.
Speaker 2:I probably drank seven or eight other scotches other than this one before finally drinking this one, which is going to be somewhere in like a 15-year age statement.
Speaker 2:So what they do is they take basically single malts and just other scotches from all over the Scottish region and then they blend them together and just other scotches from all over the scottish region and then they blend them together and then they uh, after they blend them from all these separate barrels, they then put it in another barrel and then finish it from either anywhere from three months to three years. I believe they said um, but this one is called art and decadence. So the whole theme of the and they always do such a great job at like putting a really cool label on there and picking a label that exemplifies what this scotch is to represent. And what this scotch is is. It's uh finished in five different uh dessert wine casks and you can see on the back the percentages of how long it's rested in each one. And and your favorite dessert wine is probably on there I know Norm's is, I know mine is. There's some port in there Madera's the GOAT, Madera's the GOAT.
Speaker 3:If you haven't had Spanish Madera, bro, go get some.
Speaker 2:They finish in Madera port sherry, a couple I haven't heard of Marsala. They do all kinds of things, so you're going're gonna get, it's gonna be kind of a sweeter scotch I suppose it's gonna be very decadent. It's gonna be decadent, it's gonna be full-bodied, it's gonna be a little tart sweet and rich.
Speaker 2:They do a non-chill filtering system which helps keep the body of the scotch. If you like a chill filtered scotch, then you probably don't really like scotch too much, because what that does is it just makes it super easy to drink and very smooth, um, but you lose a lot of that robust flavor and mouthfeel that you get from scotch. So this is going to be a very authentic blended scotch here. Uh, and it's pretty cool, cause this bottle is not yet released. So I tried, like I said, seven or eight other scotches and then we get to this one and he's like you know, I'm just gonna let you guys try this one. You we're not even really supposed to be, uh, pushing this because you can't buy it, you can't have it.
Speaker 2:And joe was like oh, okay, for sure yeah and then we both tried it and he was like, keegan, you need to try this right now. And I was in the middle of work and I was like, okay, and I come over and he pours me up. And I was like, oh, that's good, he's like right, he's like all right, what, uh, what of these other compass boxes do you like? And I was like I like this apple one here, and he, uh, which is called their orchard yeah, that's the one we had on the podcast yeah, the one that we had.
Speaker 2:But I was like, uh, I was like for cocktails, I probably like this one, just because I think we could have some fun, uh, with the flavor profile this one. It would stand out in a cocktail and I think we we could have some fun with that one he was like all right cool, so we'll take that one and blah, blah.
Speaker 2:And then somehow, some way, I see the rep go to his car and come back with a brand new bottle of this stuff. Meanwhile, joe's hyping up the podcast to the guy. He's like yeah, this guy, uh, as well as our other, like mixologists, they have a podcast that's me, I'm the other mixologist talking about norm.
Speaker 3:We work together I don't act like one, but I am one.
Speaker 2:No, I don't act like one either they're. They're pretty pretentious and douchey sometimes, and a lot of mixologists get a bad rep because they act like they're better than regular bartenders, which which you know we are, but if you ask me, I'm a bartender. Yeah. So he comes back in with this brand new bottle and he just gives it to him and I was like what the hell? I was like Joe, how did you manage to finagle? And then Joe's like yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm going to give it to these guys. They're going to go have it on their podcast tonight. Then they'll bring it back tomorrow.
Speaker 3:No, he won't. I was like yeah, right. Jerk, for sure, joe.
Speaker 2:Joe. So he's like don't drink more than half the bottle. I was like we are not going to drink half the bottle, we might drink the whole bottle.
Speaker 3:We might get rid of it. Then we'll just fill it with food-colored water. Yeah, who cares? Yeah, who cares? He won't know.
Speaker 2:I'll go buy a cheaper scotch.
Speaker 1:No, just go get another scotch and pour it in there.
Speaker 3:Yeah, just pour that. In there Nice decanter and then fucking.
Speaker 1:It does have a nice color to it. Yeah, it's a very caramelly brown.
Speaker 2:Another thing this company does is they don't dye at all.
Speaker 3:So like you might see two of the same it it says color on it and it says none added.
Speaker 2:Yeah so this is just authentic blended scotch color. Go ahead and open that bottle and pour us a little bit in here, james.
Speaker 3:Saxon is the list. Shout out James Saxon, Lead whiskey maker dude. Shout out that guy this is going to be pretty delicious.
Speaker 2:Compass Box is known for. They're known for collector's items items, so they have a lot of limited releases and limited edition. By the way, this is a limited edition uh bottles of wine or wine, uh of scotch that they release maybe 150 to 200 bottles at a time and, uh, they encourage you to go to their distillery. They open up their, their grounds, essentially, and they're like you can come camp out for the night, bring your rv tent, whatever, and then in the morning, when we open up, you can be the first to get these limited uh edition releases of of these scotches, and some of these scotches can go for, I don't know, 2500, plus a lot of them can, uh, depending. So if you're into collecting scotches, compass box is a cool company to collect from, but if you don't know what you're buying, you're into collecting scotches, compass Box is a cool company to collect from, but if you don't know what you're buying, you're probably just going to buy a bottle that isn't worth more than the price it's printed as.
Speaker 2:It almost smells like wine yeah, that's probably the five different wine casks that it's finished in.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like on the nose, it's super like port dessert wine like port and now I definitely get some of those like, like you can, quite literally, if you look for a little bit of each of those, you can see the sautern influence and the and the madera influence and port influence. For sure, you definitely get a little bit of that scotchiness to it.
Speaker 2:You know, a little bit of malt, you know I'm saying yeah scotchiness so, like I, uh, I remember really liking this, uh, but I also remember liking it after drinking seven other scotches, so this will basically be a new experience for me and I, I like it.
Speaker 1:It evolves in the glass nicely. Get some nice burnt orange on it, yeah that's, that's really good, it's great.
Speaker 3:Yeah, super easy to drink.
Speaker 2:It's got legs on it too. This motherfucker got legs. Yeah, yeah, the viscosity of this scotch. But yeah, there are some Compass box bottles that go for $2,500, plus A lot of them go for over 15, etc. Uh, let me see if there's anything else I can find about this, this bottle in particular. I feel like I did a pretty good job covering some, some general facts about it and the company and things like that. But they're they're very particular about how they blend their theirotches. They always handpick and choose from probably like 10 or 12 different scotches and they do all sorts of different iterations in order. Actually, I know exactly which scotches this one uses Dude.
Speaker 1:That finish on this was really really nice actually, so most of this.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's a really smooth drink.
Speaker 1:Dude, it ends on like for me it's just like a nice bitter dark chocolate. You know that's nice bro.
Speaker 2:Where is it? Ah, that's yummy. Most of this is probably going to be coming from the. So how many we got here? I think it's five. They have Balminac is a distillery where they aged it with the Madeira and the Soderns, and then we got the Glenmore Distillery, which is where they finished their single malt scotch, that guy lied you can't buy this right now. Oloroso, it's a preorder.
Speaker 3:In stock online. Oh, that's crazy.
Speaker 2:I was looking earlier when I was doing research and it was saying it's a preorderorder In stock online. Oh, that's crazy. I was looking earlier when I was doing research and it was saying it's a pre-order for the 28th. Maybe you can still buy it now, but they don't ship it to them either.
Speaker 3:Oh, all that Walgreens for pickup. There you go.
Speaker 2:But most of this comes from Port dundas, which is a distillery that's no longer open. So if I had to guess, they probably the the distillery probably went out of business. They bought a bunch of barrels of this stuff and then, um, they're just, they're just putting into as many blended uh scotches as they can, trying to get rid of the stuff, but uh, the port dundas ones are finished in in the sherry port casks or the sherry season casks and port casks interesting.
Speaker 2:But yeah, they uh they finish all these different scotches in different barrels and then they blend them all together and then they put it in another barrel afterwards. So this one is about a 15 year scotch because they, after blending it, they let it sit for another 13 years, and the guy was telling me that it ends up being about a 15 year age scotch.
Speaker 2:So just hella good yeah, orchard house, that's the one yep that's the one that we're gonna have to come up with a cocktail for. I'm thinking a highball of some sorts, you know, just like a spritzer, something very easy. Because that other one, the Orchard House, it really does taste like straight up stone fruit. It's like I get strong apple, strong pear, things like that. But this one, very just smooth, caramel, buttery notes, it's super easy to drink.
Speaker 2:Super easy to drink. So this is meant to be. This is like a dessert. Scotch is how they're advertising and marketing it. So you're supposed to drink this after you've had a big meal. Blah, blah, blah, blah almost like a deejay steve is how they kind of like a dessert marketing it yeah like a yeah like a dessert wine, which makes sense because it's five different dessert wines that influence the flavor of the scotch.
Speaker 2:It is fantastic. It's warm, smooth, goes down my gullet real nice. Thank you, joe, and thank you the guy from Compass Box who brought in this bottle today and is letting us drink it when we shouldn't. Cheers.
Speaker 3:Good episode guys.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was it. Someone else can talk now. It's cool.
Speaker 3:No, I don't know, this is good, I'll just drink this. That's cool.
Speaker 1:Honestly, I've just been enjoying myself so much over here Just smelling it. It's got a really, really nice smell to it.
Speaker 2:That's me when I get a hot girl's panties, dude, just smell them.
Speaker 1:Smells like citrus Smells like citrus.
Speaker 3:This is good. It doesn't taste as sweet as it smells. Yeah, it smells a lot sweeter.
Speaker 1:It still packs a punch. It still tastes like scotch yeah.
Speaker 3:Still tastes like scotch, but you definitely get finishes of the wine. Yeah, at the end, yeah, but when you smell it you're like, oh shit, this is fucking sweet, but it is really good.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I'd drink a whole bottle of this I love it Right now no.
Speaker 3:Over a period of like three months maybe yeah all right, yeah All right.
Speaker 2:There's another one that they were carrying as well, not the Pete Monster, but there was one more. Is it no Name?
Speaker 3:No, because I keep seeing that online that they have this no Name bottle and they've done a third edition of it and it looks cool as fuck, dude.
Speaker 2:If you can show me what the bottle looks like, I probably drank that one.
Speaker 3:It's like a black on black.
Speaker 2:We drank the Hedonism this thing, we drank Orchard House. Oh, Story of the Spaniard. This is the other one we were going to carry. This one was so smooth it was insane. There was no burn. I barely even knew I was drinking scotch.
Speaker 3:Look at this thing, doesn't this thing look sick?
Speaker 2:Yeah, that is cool. This shit looks sick, dude, we didn't drink that one.
Speaker 3:It's sold out. You can't even buy it.
Speaker 2:That one's cool. We drank the peat monster, drank the spice tree. It's, the peat monster drank the spice tree, the spice tree, uh.
Speaker 3:It's even peatier than the peat monster. It says Ew Uh.
Speaker 2:No good, no ew. The spice tree is a really cool one. It's like drinking a rye. That's a. That's a scotch. I could see that it finishes a lot like a rye.
Speaker 3:A little spicey, but yeah this.
Speaker 1:Art and Decadence. One is pretty fucking sweet. You guys have lots of great bourbons over at your bar.
Speaker 2:We have so many great, just whiskeys in general, yeah, just everything in general, yeah.
Speaker 1:You guys got a great selection of liquor and stuff Truthfully, lots of cool items that I feel like I don't run into very often.
Speaker 3:Did you get to try that aperitif that the people from Comos brought in one day?
Speaker 2:No, I don't think so.
Speaker 3:You might have been off that day it might have been like a Thursday and Brayden was working or something, all right. But these people from Comos, tequila, came in and they're really cool. But these people from Como, ciquila, came in, and they're really cool, and they brought in this like basically like an Aperol substitute that their company has been working on, but it's made with like rhubarb and and carrot and one other thing.
Speaker 2:So does it taste like dirt?
Speaker 3:No, it kind of it tastes like rhubarb, like it has like a very sweet and uh, it's not as bitter as aprol, but still a little bitter. But it was super cool. It was like viscous and it uh, it had like a sweet finish and uh, they made, they made it into like a spritz for for morgan and she liked it. But I thought it was just cool because I was like dude, I could use this in a bunch of cocktails. That's what I told them that as a modifier it felt like the flavor would hold up to a bunch of different spirits and I was like this would be fun just to make using a bunch of different cocktails.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm always excited when they bring in new stuff they use in a bunch of different cocktails. Yeah, I'm always excited when they bring in new stuff that's. That's like when they brought in the vermouth and the. Um, yeah, that green chartreuse balsamic herbal liqueur, that one's really good as well.
Speaker 1:I made Zach a. I made Zach a little highball Dude that that, actually that highball that you made me, was so damn delicious I'm. I was kind of disappointed that I ordered an espresso martini after that, because I was like maybe I should have just got a new one.
Speaker 3:Our espresso martinis are gas, though dude.
Speaker 1:No, I know, but honestly, like when I was drinking the espresso martini, I was just thinking about that other cocktail, bro.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was super easy to drink Basically just a mule, which is kind of what I'm thinking about doing with the orchard stuff. I don't know, I don't know, I don't know I want to do something light like that, a summertime scotch cocktail. I don't know what I'm going to do yet, though, but that's up to me. You and Rudy can figure out.
Speaker 3:You could do like a variation of a penicillin with it.
Speaker 2:Oh, that'd be good.
Speaker 3:We obviously don't have like a honey ginger syrup, but we can make one. We can make something else, though, because we don't have to do ginger profile.
Speaker 2:No, but I like ginger, we can just use thing.
Speaker 3:But what else is in a penicillin? It's fucking honey, ginger syrup, scotch and lemon juice, right.
Speaker 2:No, there's more right, Lemon juice, obviously.
Speaker 3:I don't think so. I think it's just honey, ginger, scotch and lemon juice. I think that's it. That's me mad, right. I had a penicillin when I went to Cleaver last week and that shit was gas. They put a little piece of candied ginger.
Speaker 2:A little candied ginger cube on there.
Speaker 1:Do, do, do do Scotch lemon ginger? I guess that's it, yeah, right.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, they sprayed peated scotch on top.
Speaker 2:Oh right, A Lafroi.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you just put a little bit of peated scotch on it.
Speaker 2:That's right. That's why G, when he worked at Nora's, used to have a bottle of peated scotch.
Speaker 3:No, he had that for his cocktail.
Speaker 2:Did he? Did he have a cocktail?
Speaker 3:Yeah, he had a. Well, he didn't put it on the menu, think is what he called it. Good name, yeah, and he, it was like a scotch cocktail, I think, and then he sprayed peated scotch on top, but it wasn't a penicillin. But, yeah, you could, we could just do something simple with that apple stuff like a penicillin yeah but maybe a different maybe a cinnamon honey syrup, maybe something.
Speaker 1:Because, cinnamon and apple goes well yeah.
Speaker 3:We can do something like that and then Just buy Fireball, do Fireball.
Speaker 2:Soda water and we garnish it with a cinnamon stick.
Speaker 3:Right, yeah, just get rid of the compass by scotch. Let's just do Fireball and lemon together.
Speaker 2:Fireball- shots Fireball and lemon.
Speaker 3:No, simple, no, yeah, they're shots of fireball with a lemon wedge. Oh, with a lemon wedge, we'll call it the sun shot, sunspot, sunspot shot, sunspot shot.
Speaker 2:Sunspot shot. Yeah, that's an idea We'll workshop that one off the pod and we'll get back to you on that.
Speaker 3:Okay, cool, I think it's a winner, though I think you're on to something for sure, zach, hey there.
Speaker 2:Hey, buddy, that's it, Zach's older.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:We talked about that last week.
Speaker 1:We talked about it last week, but we didn't talk about how your birthday happened.
Speaker 3:How'd it go? Buddy, it was great.
Speaker 1:Went to a couple good dinners. Went to a show with my BFFLs that my sweet fiance surprised me with tickets to, so that was pretty sick. Keegan was there.
Speaker 2:He was loving it. I was hammered, yeah, yeah, and that's okay, because we were driving him folks. That's right, but I was hammered too. No, I'm just kidding, I wasn't were driving them folks, that's right, but I was hammered too. No, I'm just kidding, I wasn't. Uh, yeah, yeah, I was like I'm gonna uber there for sure, because I have no intention on making it through this concert sober yo man, I was man.
Speaker 1:I was wondering why I was like not fucking off the rails, drinking and shit, and I was like bro, honestly, I drank like a good amount of days in a row and like I'm just riding my nice steady buzz right now and just enjoying myself at that, you know yep, yep, it was super crowded, uh, and there were a couple porn stars there.
Speaker 3:That was pretty cool what did you fuck them?
Speaker 2:no, well, there were you doing, yeah it was um, oh shit, I can't think of their names right now, but I was sitting there, and then jacob any asian ones.
Speaker 3:No, fuck, no, thank god, actually then a couple of, uh, bimbo types.
Speaker 2:Anywho, they walked in and uh, jacob was like hey, there's some porn stars here, and I was like those two and he's like yeah, it's. And then he told me and I forgot, and I was like yep so that was cool cool, uh, the whole. And I caught him. I caught him eyeballing me a couple times and I was like they definitely don't want to have a threesome, but in my head they do. They for sure want to have a threesome the.
Speaker 2:The storyline started evolving and he was like he can stop the more they looked at me, the more I was like they would just want to have sex with me. They're just looking at me like I'm some kind of object I was like disgusting, keep looking. Ladies, go ahead, I'm so dead I'm disgusted, watch me turn around and slowly bend over for this thing. And then I did, I turned around and I slowly I dropped it. I did one of these, you know, where you kind of just squat and plie I'm loving it but I knew my ass looked good while I did it.
Speaker 1:There you go, yeah, but that was fun. Hey, speaking of my birthday, I ended up coming in to eat at Nora's, where Keegan was working that evening.
Speaker 1:And dude, joe, thanks for being cool man. Joe's a cool guy. Yeah, back to Joe and how great he is. Yeah, he, uh, he gave me a taste of the um diplomatico ambassador, which was super, super, fucking good, probably my favorite rum I've ever. Tried to be honest. It was really good. Agreed, um. And then, uh, he just gave us a bottle of like uh, cabernet from alpha and omega, like a Napa 2020 proprietary blend Is that a good year.
Speaker 2:It was a hot year Is that when all the fires were.
Speaker 1:I mean, aren't they always going on?
Speaker 2:Yeah, but didn't like half of Napa burn down in a fire recently.
Speaker 1:I don't know. And now, that's why everything is going over to like Sonoma because it's right next door, but most of napa, I think, burnt down that would be a great thing to know, because I feel like that's a pretty historical piece of information I should probably latch on to if it, if it's true, yeah, which is that's crazy, but um, yeah, it was, it was pretty good, yeah, yeah, my palate definitely lies in like the french realm. I can't not.
Speaker 1:I can't deny it, but honestly pretty good well, you were also several drinks deep at the time as well yeah, because I was like I had two cocktails and then he poured me a taste of that and I actually wasn't even gonna get anything past the second cocktail. And then he came over and he was like, hey, man, it's your birthday and and you just passed your level one, so hey, have a taste of this rum, you like rum? And I was like dude, I love rum. And Keegan was like dude, you gotta try that. And it was super good. And then I thought that was done and he was like, hey, you know you like wine, right, would you like some wine?
Speaker 2:and I was like, and I was like, and I was like, yeah sure, I'll take a, I'll take some wine.
Speaker 1:He was like I got a bottle in the back and I'm gonna go grab it for you and I was all like okay, cool. And then he just went got a bottle of wine for us and it was pretty damn good. He was like this from my personal collection and I was like that that feels like it's coming from the heart and I like like that that's going to make it taste even better, dude.
Speaker 2:Joe has so much cool stuff in his personal collection upstairs Dude.
Speaker 3:I wonder if he's keeping that bottle of Blanton's Red upstairs or if he brought it home Because I want to try it. I bought it for him, let me try it.
Speaker 1:Right, yeah, I bought it for him and he was like, like, how much was it?
Speaker 3:and I was like no joe for real, just thank you, and I gave it to him. I didn't let him pay me, yeah, so just give me a taste yeah, right like, just give me a little how much was the bottle?
Speaker 2:can I 200 bucks, okay, yeah, I was gonna guess less than that. So there's 200. Yeah, yeah, but he's been hooking it up for years.
Speaker 3:So dude yeah he's done nothing but good things for me in my life. Yep, yep, that's a good man right there. That's like the least I can do. What man do I want to taste that shit? Oh for sure.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and we talked about it last week as well how, next time Zach comes in, we want to give him that Michter's 10-year. But after the tasting of the Ambassador and the bottle of wine I was like I'm not gonna pour zach any of this mcdowell dude.
Speaker 3:You need to try that mcdowell, it's so good. I was like he's not gonna be able to even taste what I'm putting in here right now because I was home and then we still need to sell all the new shit so we can try all the new shit. Yeah, because honestly I want to try the heritage collection of all three of the ones we have and the red, most importantly the red breast.
Speaker 2:You know what's going to be great. I almost tried to sell Zach some red breast.
Speaker 3:I have a guy who I guarantee will buy some. I just need him to come in.
Speaker 1:Here's what you guys do, okay? Is that going on the shelf?
Speaker 3:No, probably not.
Speaker 1:It isn't this.
Speaker 3:This probably not. I don't think so. Joe Marr's probably going to keep this Probably going. Think so, joe marr is probably gonna keep this probably gonna put it in his private collection.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well then I was gonna say, fucking, I was like dude, you should just sell the fuck out of this and then be like see what happens, joe, when we know the product, we move, that motherfucker you know, and then he'll fucking let you uh oh, he knows when he he'll let you taste some others you know, he knows, because I try to push mictors, but then I also don't try to push mictors at all, because that's the only bottle we have and I want it forever so so when people are like what's that?
Speaker 3:I'm like, I don't worry about it, I have a really cool like semi-regular uh who comes in, who? I think there's a guy. I think I can get red breast. I'm convinced he's just me from the future, because he's red hair. Yes, he's a ginger guy, he, he, he like he he's in. I don't know what business he's in. I think he's in like some kind of pharmaceutical sales or something.
Speaker 2:That's what a time traveler would say, but I do.
Speaker 3:I know that he looked. He dresses like he golfs, um, and then he's also married to a Filipino nurse that works at spring Valley hospital, Um, and he drinks whiskey. That's all he does. He comes in and he goes. You guys got anything new. Every time I'm like hell, yeah, dude, because you're getting new shit. So next time he comes in, I'm going to be like bro, you got to, I do have something new. Usually, though, he's always like I'm trying to stay around, like 40 bucks.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Which most of what we've been getting in is. So I think for sure he'll try one of the Heritage, because that's only like $20 more. I think I'd have to. He'd have to be in a real good mood to get the Red Breast.
Speaker 2:So what you do is?
Speaker 3:you get him. I think I can get him there, because he usually gets like two or three though $40 ones, yeah, so he's usually already spending like $120 bucks on whiskey On whiskey, yeah so like.
Speaker 2:So you just get them one, then maybe you sneak them a little taste of something cool.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, I always hook them up too. I usually take care of his wife just drinks Pilgrim's Fashions. So if he's drinking really expensive whiskey. I'll just like take off three Pilgrim's and I'll just comp off round and then like they're chilling a hundred percent. So so yeah and yeah, if I'm selling red breasts, gilmore will take care of like half their bill probably. I'll be like, yeah, come here, dude.
Speaker 3:So like thank you, I can finally try it so so hopefully, if he comes in and I'm working, uh, we can sell some.
Speaker 2:Yeah bro, yeah bro, I would love. Oh man, I can't wait as soon as I see those bottles open.
Speaker 1:The cool part is that the quicker that you guys can move these bottles to the more cool shit that Joe will be willing to bring in, because he'll be like Dude our bar's not big enough, dude, we need a bigger back bar it's not.
Speaker 2:He was like, hey, I want to get some of this compass box but I got gotta find room for it, dude.
Speaker 3:I told joe margis to get rid of the red bull. Red black bull, sorry, red bull, we should carry red bull. Yeah, get rid of black bull, because no one buys it. No, it just sits there. Yeah, and I was like dude, there's no way and it's bad, our owner is expecting to still make money off this right, it was his bad investment get rid of it dude, and we have like three more bottles.
Speaker 2:I told Joe I was like Joe, just take it home.
Speaker 3:It's yours now. Yeah, dude, fucking make a Rob Roy with it. I don't give a fuck, just take it home, dude.
Speaker 2:Make a Rob Roy with what was once a $400 shot. Yeah, dude Fuck.
Speaker 3:And then we dropped it Because it takes up what we have three bottles of it. Yeah, there's three spaces right there on your bar.
Speaker 2:We had one that we never, ever, ever, ever sold.
Speaker 3:The 40-year never got sold once.
Speaker 2:And then we bought two more of them. I was like what.
Speaker 3:The 12 and the 21 got sold a little bit, but like they aren't good no, they're super mids. They aren't good Because like you could drink the 12-year Black Bull for like it was like 16 bucks. Or we're charging $20 for Lagavulin 16-year yeah, I'm not going to tell you to drink the Black Bull.
Speaker 2:No, I'll never tell you I'm going to be like yo any other scotch.
Speaker 3:Yeah, glen Levitt. 12-year is only $12, and it's way better than Black Bull.
Speaker 2:If you want a peated scotch.
Speaker 3:I'd go Lagavulin all day than if you want a peated scotch, I'd go lagavulin all day.
Speaker 2:black bull's not even peated just fucking mixed bullshit. It's not, it tasted.
Speaker 3:No, it's it's literally just a. It's like a fucking mixed, just a. Blended scotch, just a shit. Blended scotch drink, johnny walker. It's way better than black johnny walker's absolutely fucking sucks, johnny walker's way better than black bull.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I still, oh no, I have no, never mind. I was gonna say. I was gonna say I never tried. The Black Bull fucking sucks. Johnny Walker is way better than Black Bull. Yeah, I still. Oh no, I have no, never mind. I was going to say I never tried the Ghost Rare. But I did. No, I've tried Ghost Rare. It's not that great, it's fine, it's fine.
Speaker 3:Whatever, it's not $60. It's not that much different than the regular blue? No, not at all, but it's not $20. Cool, the taste doesn't show. No, that's kind of how I felt with Basil Hayden's toast. I was like I get what you guys are doing, but this doesn't taste different enough to me from regular Basil Hayden's to justify me paying $10 more Turns out.
Speaker 2:A toasted barrel and a charred barrel aren't all that different. Close it's close like you can.
Speaker 3:You can tell, yeah, minuscule differences.
Speaker 1:But it's not worth, especially if it's especially if it's from the same producer too. Yeah, it's like, is it like, you know?
Speaker 2:like they did did they change the mash at a you know what I mean or anything, or is it just basil hayden's, but with?
Speaker 3:so I think I think they literally just took their normal mash build and then, instead of finishing it in the barrel, it was aging and they just took it and they finished it for, like, however, three months, six months, whatever the fuck it is, however long in a toasted barrel and then they're like this makes it taste different.
Speaker 2:You know, like barely so you still got to age it for three years in the new chart american oak, but then they would just finish it in a toast.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you can finish bourbon and whatever the fuck you want as long as it's aged correctly, Right Uh? But the red wine cask is fire.
Speaker 2:That one, that stuff is good.
Speaker 3:I made a cocktail with her recently and I completely forgot the recipe, but I remember being like oh, this is fucking good, You're involved fucking good, oh, I made it for you. That's when you came in, remember, and I made you that drink with it and it was pretty good.
Speaker 2:It was pretty good, it was solid.
Speaker 3:Fuck, what was it? I don't remember, I don't remember. I need to write shit down behind the bar. I do that all the time where I'll make a hella good cocktail for someone and I'll be like, no, I remember this one. And then they come back in like three months later and they're like make that thing again.
Speaker 1:I'm like, fuck like dude I don't know what that thing was bring a little fucking journal bro and you can literally have like your own little recipe book to like reference back to if you actually should do that, because I'm gonna do that. Dude, dude that's what like chefs do, and shit all the time and like mixologists, dudes like and all that shit like.
Speaker 3:But it's a good idea because I'm sure you guys be fucking around and I'll make something good. And then I'll be like oh, I should remember this. Yeah, and then I'm just like I will I?
Speaker 2:uh I used to write them down. So like there was like a good period where I was just like coming up with new cocktails, uh, over and over and over again, and I had like a bunch of them and they were all really fucking good and I wrote them down on like bar napkins and I put them in our bar bible to save, because people were like that's really good, you got to write that down, I'm like all right, and then I would go write it down and put in the bar bible. And then I would go check, uh, I don't know, a few days later, a week later, whatever, and somebody had thrown away my recipe.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm just gonna do as I said. I'm just gonna buy a little book, a little notebook, a little open journal.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that.
Speaker 3:I can just fucking write down cocktail recipes.
Speaker 2:We'll call it our improv bar bible Sure and then we'll all yeah, just keep it back there, and anytime we have a good idea.
Speaker 1:You guys could make cool cocktail videos, we could make cool cocktail videos, dude.
Speaker 2:Just get Danny Jones to fucking do it. No.
Speaker 1:I'm good. Well, I'm telling you, bro, I'm straight.
Speaker 3:Get him to what I'll do it.
Speaker 1:I'll do it myself, but you know that he would make it better quality. He knows how to edit. I don't give a shit, I'm okay, yeah. Hey man, if you don't want to work with him.
Speaker 2:We will not work with him, yep, but we could use like G or Adam or anyone like that as well If we want to like do it at their home bar and have like a cool setting as well for just general cool videos and shit like that. Or we could do it at work, probably just after we close, if we have a good idea for a TikTok.
Speaker 1:Dude at the bar that you work at literally is a great setting to do that. I'm sure that Joe and them wouldn't mind you doing it either no, adam used to do it all the time. Yeah, if you came in if you came in early or if you stayed late. You know, like easy peasy yeah, we definitely could you could. You could borrow these lights if you wanted to.
Speaker 3:I'm sure you probably wouldn't even need them, but maybe one could borrow a light a light and it would probably look pretty good. Yeah, and then, and then honestly, we can just use like my phone. I'm a 15 Pro Max. The quality on that shit's fucking stupid.
Speaker 2:That's fine, or we can do. We have a camera too. We do have a camera, so we could also do that.
Speaker 3:Let me pull up with you guys when you do that.
Speaker 2:For sure?
Speaker 1:Do you want to be our cinematographer? I just want to be.
Speaker 2:I don't even know what the video is yet, but also, brian hit me up recently.
Speaker 1:Dude, you're shaking a cocktail baby For the whole thing. Yeah, All right, cool.

Oh uh, brian also wants me to start making tiktoks with him oh yeah, he's talking about sketches, right? Yeah, he well, he wants to do like uh like spoof songs, parody songs and shit.
Speaker 2:I was like, oh, I could do. I think I'm pretty good at spoofs, I'm good at parody songs. I don't know about spoof Like I don't know about to my own beat type stuff. Yeah. But you give me a song and you want me to make an adult Weird Al version of it, then I absolutely will.
Speaker 3:This is for the Percy.
Speaker 1:Dude, I know how to make music. Hmm, Zach, what I can help dude.
Speaker 3:Wait what I can help you. Do you want to get involved in this? You know how to make music. I want to be involved.
Speaker 2:I'll sling it your way. Hey, did you drop that?
Speaker 3:track you showed us last week, or no? No, the ready one Are you going to keep that until a project is on the horizon? I'm thinking I might do like an EP with it to be honest and have it be a part of like an EP Because I'm kind of like focusing on like this track, because that track was so good. Dude, thanks, dude.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I appreciate that, man. Thanks, dude.
Speaker 3:That means a lot actually.
Speaker 2:It's all good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I'm going to probably make like a little EP, cause you know I'm getting more into this, into this branding stuff, and you know it's been a very confusing thing.
Speaker 3:But I got a cool idea. Okay, jump off the bridge for that project.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 3:Cause I know you got like you had a way of thinking about it from your the guy you've been talking to more. Yeah, but I got a cool idea for it Okay.
Speaker 1:We'll talk about it off-pod, if you feel comfortable you can share.
Speaker 3:I don't know if I want to get these ideas out there, because I think they're pretty good ideas.
Speaker 1:Dude session off the pod.
Speaker 3:Crazy, it's just a real quick idea, but I think it would make a lot of sense with a timeline. Cool Sounds good to me.
Speaker 1:Dude, to be honest with you, I was having a hard time coming up with any sort of idea, and so I turned a chat gpt last night, I'm not gonna lie, I asked the robots and uh they were helpful ones.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they were helpful.
Speaker 1:They didn't give me any ideas. Actually. It just asked me a list of questions and then was like it like, think about this, is this like this way, or is it because of this? You, you know like, and so it gave me like a list of questions to go through that actually helped me, sort of like, determine some things that I'm all like, oh okay, like I do want this to be a part of it, you know like, so I, I guess it should be more like this way, and you know, and if it's like this way, then I can, you know, I don't know, we'll talk a little bit more about it off?
Speaker 1:the pod, but but um, it's looking like an interesting idea and I'm actually pretty excited about it. I've got some good work done over the last couple of days on it, but still, man, just getting on the topic of being like what's your brand, bro, and I'm just like, but like, I'm just a guy that likes to make music Like I do, I have to do all of this. You know what I mean. Can I just make music and you guys love it and we and we move on?
Speaker 3:short answer is no, I mean so no, the not at first the longer answer is yes. Yeah, there will be a time where you'll just be able to like make a dope track and then you put it out and people will be like I'm gonna listen to this. Yeah, I think that the gentleman you're talking to is 100. Right where to gain the traction? To get to that point, though, it definitely will help to have some core, some kind of like course of action yeah, some kind of brand, some kind of theme?
Speaker 3:yeah, that'll get you to the point where then? Yeah you will just be able to sit down and maybe you make like two tracks and you're like, oh, I like both these and you just drop them and they have nothing to do with each other.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but they're just two really good music tracks that people will listen yeah, exactly, and your, your brand can become more personal, I guess, as time goes, but sometimes you need like a, you need a hook and you need a catch for uh people to sort of like link on to you know. So I think I've got a. I've got a good little idea brewing here.
Speaker 2:So I think the same could be said for our podcast as well. Yeah, if we had a brand.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yep but I mean I feel like the past couple weeks we're leaning a little bit more into the alcohol aspect of it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because I think most of it like half of our podcast ends up?
Speaker 2:well, not the whole time no, I'm but for a good like I'd say for a handful like 50 episodes.
Speaker 3:We episodes we were just like bringing the alcohol and being like we're drinking this and then a bunch of whatever the fuck Right.
Speaker 2:But I think I liked your idea.
Speaker 3:I think, the more we talk about, because this stuff we all actually care about but also like, so this ignites, it depends what we bring in.
Speaker 2:If we bring in something cool worth talking about, this ignites like so this ignites what we bring in. If we bring in something cool worth talking about, this ignites like passion in us.
Speaker 3:Um, yeah, there's, it's clearly some world but even like my thing is like I can still bring in something like cheap that I still want to talk you know, it doesn't always have to be some expensive or limited Like I could go get a cool beer from like beer zombies and I could sit there and talk about it for fucking 15 minutes. You know what I'm saying yeah I really lean into it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, as long as it's something new and something I want to try, um, but but I think that's a. I think that's why maybe we should have just called our podcast poor decisions poor decisions is a great, just rebrand.
Speaker 2:I mean it's not too late, probably it's not, we don't have a big enough following. No, no, we could change our name to FootFuckersRUs. That'd probably get us some pretty good traction too.
Speaker 3:Like I remember, one of my favorite YouTube people was Do you know Pros, don't Talk Shit. Do you remember this? No, do you know who CaptainSparklez is? Yes, so he was Pros, don't Talk Shit. And he got massive and halfway through, when he started streaming, more like Minecraft and stuff like that. He realized his name wasn't really branded for the audience that he was starting to gain, which was like younger kids, like kids who want to watch Minecraft videos from the ages of like 10 to 15.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he was like I probably shouldn't be calling myself pros, Don't talk shit. He was like I'm going to rebrand. So he rebranded everything and he was already huge at it, like he was big, um, and he changed captain sparkles and he changed Captain Sparkles. But I think it only helped him. He just continued to grow after he rebranded, because he did the right thing. He just redid his name to suit more to his audience and what he was about, captain Sparkles, was like an ironically childish name. He's like I'm still a grown dude but I am streaming fucking Minecraft. So I'm going to make this my new, new brand and I think it just helped him.
Speaker 2:And, like I said, pros, don't talk, shit was already massive.
Speaker 3:Yeah, rebranding is always well, I mean, it's usually, it's not always good, but as long, I think, as long as you have the right reason for it, it's good yeah, we also got to make sure that name's not taken, even though it probably is I mean it probably is, but some things very similar.
Speaker 2:To you got mail we're are, we're also taken to be fair, we're already bigger than those people, though yeah, we are and we're not very true no, we're just consistent, baby, yeah uh, which uh reminds me if you guys are listening, thanks yeah, that's it. Look at our feet look at our feet, that's your reward feet on the table socks on this time. No one sock on, one sock off nonsense.
Speaker 3:You want me to tickle Keegan?
Speaker 2:no, no hey, hey, hey, you're making me spill scotch.
Speaker 1:He spilled it. He spilled it just a little bit, just a little bit.
Speaker 3:No, now your crotch will smell like scotch crotch, scotch, scotch, scotch scratch, scratch, it's good scratch scratch.
Speaker 2:It's what's for women scratch is scotch for women. We could make a new dr pepper 10. It's not for women, dude. I watched a video. So sometimes, uh, we've been getting uh a lot of bartending, uh tiktoks and stuff lately on our feed. I always do, I always do too, but it feels like a little more lately, and by more I mean like they're stretching what they consider uh they think I'd be into, because I watched some lady and they're like time for the dr pepper margarita and she just made a regular margarita and then poured dr pepper on it like that sin city bartender guy who made the crack in it but he poured, he was like.
Speaker 3:He was like here's the drink, here's the drink, the Kraken. First you're going to fill a shot glass up with Kraken, and then he poured Bumba rum into the shot glass.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:He didn't even pour Kraken.
Speaker 2:He didn't even pour Kraken and he called it Kraken.
Speaker 3:And then he was like lemon juice and Mountain Dew.
Speaker 1:Voltage.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he was like and then dropped a shot in there.
Speaker 2:I was like dude, what the fuck am I watching and he's like this is not good, I was like what the fuck am I watching right now, dude. And I went on and commented. I was like that's not cracking.
Speaker 3:Did you comment it? I did, I said that's not cracking you, dumb bitch. I think I just sent it to you and I was like this dude really poured Bumba instead of Kraken.
Speaker 2:And then I saw somebody else commented something similar and he commented back he's like, yeah, because I'd never buy Kraken. And I was like then don't make the drink called Kraken.
Speaker 3:Call it something else, because Bumba's not even spiced rum.
Speaker 2:No, it's just rum.
Speaker 3:It's just aged rum, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the one he was using was I don't even the fuck are you doing bro? Yeah, it was, but yeah.
Speaker 3:That's one of those guys that just like found his niche like making fucking, yeah, like a themed cocktails that like they're not good, but he's just like. This is cocktail from Fallout New Vegas that reminds me of the game Nuka.
Speaker 2:This is.
Speaker 3:Nuka Cola or whatever. What's the?
Speaker 2:Giving us a bad name Nuka Cola, nuka Cola, you had it, nuka-cola.
Speaker 3:Quantum-Cola? No, that's the.
Speaker 2:Fallout one.
Speaker 3:Nuka right.
Speaker 2:Nuka-Cola is Fallout as well. Oh it is. Yeah, they might have a Quantum-Cola in there as well, oh yeah.
Speaker 3:Okay, yeah.
Speaker 2:That I don't recall, but Nuka-Cola is the main one.
Speaker 3:Okay, good, I'm not.
Speaker 2:I know balls to call himself the sin city. Bartender, bro, you do not represent us, dude, come fight us, dude, fucking vegas.
Speaker 3:Internet beef starts here, brother and then there's another guy I don't know.
Speaker 2:There's a lot of like cringy bartender videos. I don't block a lot, I only block the ones like that guy who make really just abhorrent shit that uh disgust me and insult me personally.
Speaker 3:There's a couple people that I like. There's. There's a couple people that I like. There's a couple people I like, even when I'm like. I feel like I shouldn't like this guy, but I do. I don't know if you've seen the Asian dude with the nose piercing. I don't know, and he has black hair. I don't think so. I like him a lot, though. Anytime he talks about alcohol, I'm like dude. I can tell you know what you're talking about, because sometimes he makes like gimmicky shit or like, uh, just clickbait, yeah, kind of, but like. But anytime he starts talking about alcohol, I'm like well, you know what you're talking like. You know he's sponsored by, like the bonsai pills I don't know what those are I bought them once.
Speaker 2:They're like the before you drink pills oh, all right, the one, not the ones from japan, though no like.
Speaker 3:So they're the, the ones from Japan that they're making for America now.
Speaker 1:They're made by the guys that make horny goat weed. Is that real? Huh, no, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Zach very good.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you got us both, dude, I was fucking serious.
Speaker 2:I was like this is a real product. You were like whoa.
Speaker 3:But yeah, that guy even I'm like, yeah, you're a little cringe, but I'm like you know what you're talking about, so I fuck with you like you're cool. Yeah, he's cool.
Speaker 2:There are some guys that are pretty cringe. I won't block those guys, I'll just be like you're doing your own thing. Yeah, dude, but I'm not going to follow You're getting views.
Speaker 3:You're getting views. Good for you, dude you.
Speaker 2:It pisses me off and I have to block them. That's the only way. It's the only way for me, and I don't block people. I don't even block my exes.
Speaker 3:I still think Thirsty Whale is probably my favorite guy.
Speaker 2:I haven't seen him in a while.
Speaker 1:I still get his videos. Yeah, he just made a couple.
Speaker 3:Meaning like I don't follow him.
Speaker 1:He made a gin basil smash recently.
Speaker 3:Oh, I saw that. I saw that. Yeah, that shit looked fire dude.
Speaker 2:Because I don't follow people that don't follow me, but he was popping up on my feet for a while and I haven't seen him in a while.
Speaker 3:He's a cool dude.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I like his videos.
Speaker 3:Make it I feel like I'd be friends with him.
Speaker 2:I feel like I'd be friends with him too. I feel like if he worked at a bar, I'd want to go to that bar, like I'm coming to visit this guy, depending where it was yeah, yep, also very knowledgeable, also makes fantastic cocktails.
Speaker 3:Yeah, all of the above. He checks all the boxes. Yeah, yeah, cool guy knows his shit, makes good cocktails same with anders erickson.
Speaker 2:I don't know if you watch him at all, but it was good advice. I'm also a big fan of his uh. I've been following him on youtube since he had like 2 000 subs and now he's kind of blowing up in the bartending community, which is really cool, and he lives in chicago, I think so drinks a lot of malort.
Speaker 2:No, no, he hates more, but he's a rum guy as well, which is why I follow him. So he makes a lot of rum cocktails and he's always very knowledgeable on his stuff. So you know what that's? That's what I'm saying. Cite your sources, find a knowledgeable guy if you want to learn.
Speaker 3:You know I did a lot of digging for the last three days. Dirt man, I need to keep some under my pillow tonight, though. Why For the dirt man? There it is, but I was really searching for a golf bag that was also sponsored by an alcohol brand For light, but specifically whiskey Right, because, like I said I think I talked about it a little bit where, like Campos, he has an Aperol golf bag.
Speaker 2:You could probably find like a Jameson one or something.
Speaker 3:Nah, dude, the only ones I found were Fireball. I was like, nah, I found Fireball, I found a lot of Tito's. I found some Miclobaltra, I found some, some. But I try to look for like woodford reserve, or like basil hayden, or like, yeah, jameson, this one just has whiskey. Yeah, I've seen that yeah, I've seen the ogeo bag. Ogeo bags are actually really nice. My dad has one. They're really cool.
Speaker 2:Um, like the but I can't find this isn't but I like.
Speaker 3:No, yeah, this is, but I think it's hella expensive, is that?
Speaker 2:that a lot for a bag.
Speaker 3:Yeah, golf bags you can get anywhere from like a normal one $150 to $300. Okay, because like $150 is for your like really cheap, nothing special bag. Like $300, you'll get a really solid bag and then more than that. That's really cool. My only problem is that looks like it's leather and it looks old and beat. You can't have a leather bag in vegas because the sun will absolutely tear it up. So, but yeah, I did a bunch of digging. I come find one. Like I said, there's a bunch of tito's. One tito's was definitely the most popular tito's was there was like three different golf brands that all had tito's bags and I was like I'm okay yeah, so I think, slap their name on everything, I think tomorrow morning I'm just gonna hopefully find something at Golf Galaxy and cop it.
Speaker 3:Do you just not like your golf bag?
Speaker 2:It's old.
Speaker 3:It's like 25 years old. It's just outdated, it's old, it's worn down. Shit doesn't. Some of the zippers don't work.
Speaker 2:That's fair.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because it's the hand-me-down. I got from my dad and my dad used that bag for like 12 years and then he gave it to me and I've used it for like 12 years so and you don't have a son to give it to I might give it a yala, though, because he wants to start golfing. Yeah, and he likes vintage ass shit and it honestly is like especially if it's beat yeah, he likes a vintage bag and it's so.
Speaker 2:It will hold clubs, so that's all you need it for. That's the main job.
Speaker 3:I might see if he all wants it and I'll just give it to him. Be like happy Father's Day, dude. Oh my god, dude, let's go golfing. Let's go whenever you want. I have a friend that works at that new J-Bar golf place. It's like an indoor golf simulator but it's owned by the same people who own J Jay Karaoke. So it's like right there in that plaza and they're supposed to have really good food and drinks and they just have a bunch of golf simulators so you can go rent it for like two hours and sit there and like order food and like fuck around and hit balls with your friends and shit. So if you guys want to go there, he actually he texted I haven't talked to this guy in a long time, like I've been friends with him since middle school he just texted me a picture of austin, because austin also went to middle school with me creepy, and I was like where the fuck are you?
Speaker 3:no, I had his number saved still. But I was like I was like where the fuck are you guys? And he's like, oh, austin came into my job. And I was like, oh, sick dude. He's like, yeah, if you ever want to come in, just let me know. I got you.
Speaker 2:I was like does austin golf too?
Speaker 3:yeah, well, he did. He doesn't as much anymore, but austin did golf. I keep trying to get him to golf with me, but he always says no. He always goes uh, where are you playing, or how much. And I'm always like here, and it's like 70 and he's like nah, I'm not this time, all right, so I'll get him. I'll get him one of these times fucking, but uh, yeah, oh, dude, I saw a campos today and he fucking gave me geese of what caviar oh yeah dude, shit is fucking good dude.
Speaker 1:I was like holy shit this is uh, it's australia caviar, so it's like different than your standard sturgeon caviar so okay, that's what he was saying.
Speaker 3:It's's like a blend or something, yeah.
Speaker 1:I don't know, the guy came by and explained this whole thing to us, but most of the caviar in the world is really just like a salty, salty little fatty ball Dude that shit was like creamy. But yeah, the Estrella caviar is different and it's like more rare or whatever Estrella caviar, but like dude. It's like more rare or whatever Australia caviar, but like dude it's so good because it has so much umami, it has so much flavor to it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, there was a lot Like it finished fishy at the very end, but like when you first put it in your mouth like there's so much going on. I was like, dude, this is crazy. So, yeah, me and Chris have got to try some caviar, thanks to Campos. I gotta try some caviar, thanks to Campos, cause, yeah, he just texted me this morning. He was like you wanna do lunch? I have caviar.
Speaker 2:I was like, fuck yeah, dude so did you go out for lunch and he just brought caviar with him.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we went to neighbors and then he just brought the caviar. Cause he said he was like hooking up your guys' chef last night with a couple of bevvies. And then he was like the chef like offered to give him some caviar but he just gave him like a little bump out of the thing. He's like Campos was like why can't I give me some more dude? And he's like he's like what you want a whole tin. And Campos was like, yeah, he's like how do I get a whole tin? He's like you just got to ask me for it. Campos was like can I get a whole tin? Then 10. And then campos brought it to me. So yeah, and that shit was so good dude. Yeah, he'd be hooking it up, yeah, bro. So shout out to you as a chef for letting me try caviar for the first time. Shout out campos for bringing that oh, you've never had caviar.
Speaker 3:No, never, ever, like not in my entire life yeah, dude, that's what we have, caviar at um it was on top of a sushi, yeah, uh, but it was very little and I feel like I didn't get the full experience I mean, I'm, I tasted it, but I didn't taste just the caviar. Yeah, I didn't know what just the caviar tasted like because I was gonna say the same thing.
Speaker 2:I was like I don't think I've had caviar and I was like well, I think I've never had it by itself yeah so it was my first time just eating it which is fucking delicious. How I feel like it's supposed to be enjoyed.
Speaker 3:Yeah, definitely there's like things you can put like creme fraiche with it and like eat it on a potato chip or like something, but somewhere like the caviar shine I've heard uh campos was saying caviar on fried chicken is like next level shit campos is crazy I've seen videos on the internet of people doing that shit, though I'm like dude, that shit looks fucking. And then, after tasting it, I was like dude, you put this on fried chicken. I will lose my mind it just makes it salty.
Speaker 3:Dude, it just adds so much flavor. There's such a depth of flavor in caviar that I didn't know, I didn't expect.
Speaker 1:Especially from that Like that's really good fucking caviar. That shit was crazy dude.
