"Widow Jane Decadence; Extravagant Luxuries"

WEBVTT
00:00:00.261 --> 00:00:08.608
So, phil, yeah, I feel like last episode we just talked a ton about me.
00:00:08.608 --> 00:00:11.183
Is that what we normally do?
00:00:11.183 --> 00:00:12.528
Yeah, oh gosh.
00:00:12.528 --> 00:00:20.535
No, I don't know if we do or not, but I think we can talk about you again.
00:00:20.535 --> 00:00:22.100
You don't want to talk about you.
00:00:22.100 --> 00:00:27.564
What my uncle used to say used to say, like I am tired of hearing myself talk what do you think of me?
00:00:27.564 --> 00:00:31.931
Oh, what do I think of you?
00:00:31.931 --> 00:00:33.673
Is that a joke?
00:00:33.673 --> 00:00:34.740
Did I miss a joke?
00:00:34.740 --> 00:00:35.082
Again?
00:00:35.082 --> 00:00:38.106
As always, roll the intro, oh gosh.
00:00:41.572 --> 00:00:47.790
Welcome to whiskey bits with matt and phil, where we sip on everyday whiskeys and find the funny in our everyday lives.
00:00:47.790 --> 00:00:49.826
What did you bring today?
00:00:49.826 --> 00:00:54.491
So today we've got the Widow Jane Decadence.
00:00:54.491 --> 00:00:56.627
Oh, it sounds so fancy.
00:00:56.627 --> 00:00:58.439
It is so fancy.
00:00:58.439 --> 00:00:59.926
Age to perfection.
00:01:00.621 --> 00:01:05.492
This is a blend of straight bourbon whiskeys finished in maple syrup barrels.
00:01:05.492 --> 00:01:06.745
This is the Widow Jane.
00:01:06.745 --> 00:01:10.959
Come on, this is batch 29, bottle 588.
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.427
That makes perfect sense.
00:01:13.427 --> 00:01:15.808
Has a date of 2024.
00:01:15.808 --> 00:01:17.484
This is date 2024.
00:01:17.484 --> 00:01:18.427
That's just the whole year.
00:01:18.427 --> 00:01:19.725
45 and a half percent.
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.207
So this is a 91 proof 91.
00:01:22.207 --> 00:01:24.816
Wow, so it's really low proof 91.
00:01:24.816 --> 00:01:28.328
Wow, so it's really low proof 91.
00:01:28.328 --> 00:01:33.188
Yeah, yeah, I mean the lowest you can get and still be bourbon, it's 80.
00:01:33.188 --> 00:01:34.272
Oh, you're right.
00:01:34.272 --> 00:01:36.564
Yeah, so this is 90.
00:01:36.564 --> 00:01:38.189
One One.
00:01:38.189 --> 00:01:40.743
Hey, nice shirt.
00:01:40.743 --> 00:01:41.707
Can I tell you something?
00:01:41.707 --> 00:01:46.490
Yep, there is no other word to describe this Decadence.
00:01:48.221 --> 00:01:51.189
We took some of our legendary barrels and finished them.
00:01:51.189 --> 00:01:53.204
Sorry, let me read that again.
00:01:53.204 --> 00:01:55.683
Wait, hold on, you're reading that.
00:01:55.683 --> 00:01:57.367
That's what they said.
00:01:57.367 --> 00:01:59.242
There's no other word, widow Jane.
00:01:59.242 --> 00:02:02.367
Decadence Okay, there's no other word to describe this.
00:02:02.367 --> 00:02:11.372
We took some of our legendary bourbons and finished them in barrels that held New York's finest artisanal.
00:02:11.372 --> 00:02:12.016
Why is artisanal so funny?
00:02:12.016 --> 00:02:12.438
I don't know.
00:02:12.438 --> 00:02:15.348
It's good Artisanal maple syrup from Crown Maple.
00:02:15.348 --> 00:02:22.050
The result is a rich, creamy, smooth and slightly sweet mouthful of whiskey flavor.
00:02:22.050 --> 00:02:24.074
That is way beyond good.
00:02:24.074 --> 00:02:25.704
Way beyond good.
00:02:25.704 --> 00:02:26.687
It's decadent.
00:02:26.687 --> 00:02:30.045
Hey, I like it.
00:02:30.045 --> 00:02:34.372
Like you know, I I will say, but it's also aged to perfection.
00:02:34.372 --> 00:02:35.074
It is.
00:02:35.074 --> 00:02:35.860
How did they get that?
00:02:35.860 --> 00:02:37.524
How did they age it to perfection?
00:02:37.524 --> 00:02:38.926
Well, wait till you try it, all right.
00:02:40.270 --> 00:02:43.723
So this again, we're, you know, season two.
00:02:43.723 --> 00:02:53.409
We're starting off with maybe a little bit harder to find whiskeys, break some rules that are still out there and like, hey, we're going to try it because we found it.
00:02:53.409 --> 00:02:57.931
And if you are wondering, should I drop $80 on that bottle of whiskey?
00:02:57.931 --> 00:03:00.889
I want to be able to tell you whether or not you should, right.
00:03:00.889 --> 00:03:02.483
So that's what we're going to do here.
00:03:02.483 --> 00:03:05.909
We're going to try some that are a little bit harder to find, but you do see these on the shelf.
00:03:05.909 --> 00:03:07.272
They do pop up every once in a while.
00:03:07.272 --> 00:03:07.920
That's a good point.
00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:08.963
Uh, I like that.
00:03:08.963 --> 00:03:09.806
That's a good theme.
00:03:09.806 --> 00:03:10.627
You like that?
00:03:10.627 --> 00:03:11.629
I do, I like that.
00:03:12.070 --> 00:03:18.645
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, hey easy, whoa, hey, hey, easy bud, wow, whoa.
00:03:18.645 --> 00:03:24.371
You know, I just treating the microphone equipment like it's 1995.
00:03:24.371 --> 00:03:27.093
Not, I don't know, I don't know what you're saying.
00:03:27.093 --> 00:03:28.795
That doesn't mean, but let's sniff it.
00:03:28.795 --> 00:03:31.822
Sniff it, not the microphone.
00:03:31.822 --> 00:03:33.463
I guess you could.
00:03:36.508 --> 00:03:40.794
Okay, you know what this smells like to me Apple Decadence.
00:03:40.794 --> 00:03:45.085
I should have known, because to me it smells like perfection.
00:03:45.085 --> 00:03:48.152
I bet you say that to all the boys.
00:03:48.152 --> 00:03:52.225
So what's really cool?
00:03:52.225 --> 00:03:57.828
So they age this in those crown maple syrup barrels.
00:03:57.828 --> 00:04:00.139
First of all, they put maple syrup in barrels.
00:04:00.139 --> 00:04:01.122
I didn't know that.
00:04:01.122 --> 00:04:03.169
They just put everything in barrels.
00:04:03.169 --> 00:04:05.901
So they age this in maple.
00:04:05.901 --> 00:04:06.382
They, I didn't know that.
00:04:06.382 --> 00:04:07.323
Yeah, yeah, just put everything in barrels.
00:04:07.323 --> 00:04:08.063
Okay, yeah, so they age this in maple.
00:04:08.063 --> 00:04:09.945
They finish it in maple syrup barrels.
00:04:09.945 --> 00:04:12.448
Does it say how long they keep it in there for.
00:04:12.448 --> 00:04:21.257
It does not say how long it stays in there for, but I mean, you can smell it's sweet, like you can smell the caramelly.
00:04:21.257 --> 00:04:22.641
It's sweet.
00:04:22.882 --> 00:04:26.122
I'm not getting the maple smell but, like I would imagine, you're not getting a.
00:04:26.122 --> 00:04:27.307
You don't smell syrup.
00:04:27.307 --> 00:04:29.297
I don't smell like the maple syrup.
00:04:29.297 --> 00:04:32.310
I don't go around, phil, in the grocery stores.
00:04:32.310 --> 00:04:33.766
I mean, get your nose in there.
00:04:33.766 --> 00:04:37.447
I don't go open up bottles of syrup and smell them.
00:04:37.447 --> 00:04:38.930
You will.
00:04:38.930 --> 00:04:46.747
Now I will actually, if I tell myself it's, I'm getting.
00:04:46.747 --> 00:04:49.906
There's a little bit of that sweetness that I'm smelling that could have that maple-y.
00:04:50.007 --> 00:05:02.444
Yeah, alright, I'm really hoping it's very good.
00:05:02.444 --> 00:05:06.910
It's not just very good, it's very good, it's just very good.
00:05:06.910 --> 00:05:07.230
It's very good.
00:05:07.230 --> 00:05:12.567
It's decadent, it's perfection in regards to ageness.
00:05:12.567 --> 00:05:20.403
In all seriousness, is it not just profoundly deep?
00:05:20.403 --> 00:05:24.411
Is this isn't a wine podcast, phil?
00:05:24.411 --> 00:05:28.829
Like there is so much the taste on the tip of my tongue.
00:05:28.829 --> 00:05:31.127
There's so much body in this.
00:05:31.127 --> 00:05:48.026
Oh, all right, yes, yes, there is a slight syrupy.
00:05:48.026 --> 00:05:50.329
Is yeah to it.
00:05:50.329 --> 00:05:57.324
It's not as it doesn't attack you, it's not as up front, but it is there.
00:05:57.324 --> 00:06:00.190
It's almost like on the under side of the tongue.
00:06:00.432 --> 00:06:16.310
Yeah, in a weird way of saying like if you, if you had syrup and let it sit in your mouth yes, I see what you're saying, you know, like that's kind of yeah, because maple syrup tends to have, like yes, it's very sweet, pure sugar.
00:06:16.310 --> 00:06:22.603
Sorry, I didn't think I was going to get out of that S sound Sugar I think I had.
00:06:22.603 --> 00:06:24.144
I don't know what happened there.
00:06:24.144 --> 00:06:25.779
I lost consciousness for a minute.
00:06:25.779 --> 00:06:27.185
You kind of sounded like Professor Frank.
00:06:27.185 --> 00:06:30.826
Do you know Professor Frank from the Simpsons?
00:06:30.826 --> 00:06:34.401
Oh, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
00:06:34.401 --> 00:06:35.350
That was like Arnold.
00:06:35.350 --> 00:06:36.697
Well, that's a little, yeah, a little.
00:06:36.697 --> 00:06:36.910
Arnold.
00:06:36.910 --> 00:06:38.305
Arnold Fink yeah, a little bit.
00:06:38.305 --> 00:06:40.507
No, professor Frank, that's funny.
00:06:40.507 --> 00:06:45.262
No, that's funny.
00:06:45.401 --> 00:06:46.562
You were saying about the decadence.
00:06:46.562 --> 00:06:58.754
I was saying that it has a little bit of a there's almost to me, there's almost a little bit of an alcohol type of flavor to some maple syrups.
00:06:58.754 --> 00:07:06.300
Yeah, you know what I'm saying Mm-hmm, and so this carries that, obviously, because, because it's actually alcohol, but it has a little bit of that.
00:07:06.300 --> 00:07:07.423
We were drinking alcohol.
00:07:07.423 --> 00:07:10.850
Oh, I can't have that, just kidding.
00:07:11.351 --> 00:07:19.358
Oh, are we going to talk about other weird things that people say, yeah, okay, um, really bad.
00:07:19.358 --> 00:07:20.319
Is that one of our topics?
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:21.562
Apparently it is.
00:07:21.562 --> 00:07:24.009
Might be the topic today what we're talking about.
00:07:24.009 --> 00:07:24.831
We'll see.
00:07:24.831 --> 00:07:25.841
We'll see how this goes.
00:07:25.841 --> 00:07:27.764
So then I gotta tell you a story.
00:07:27.764 --> 00:07:29.367
Okay, I learned.
00:07:29.567 --> 00:07:35.291
So these, I, I had never found this bottle before and I was talked into it.
00:07:35.291 --> 00:07:41.430
And so I, this turned into a celebratory bottle because somebody talked me into it, somebody talked you into a celebration, try this thing.
00:07:41.430 --> 00:07:42.281
And I was like you know what?
00:07:42.281 --> 00:07:43.562
It's 90?
00:07:43.562 --> 00:07:47.550
My rule is, if it's over 60, I got to try it first before I spend.
00:07:47.550 --> 00:07:49.333
Yeah, an additional 30.
00:07:49.333 --> 00:07:50.675
No, no, no, if it's over 60.
00:07:50.675 --> 00:07:53.110
So you're worried about $30 of cash, is what you're saying.
00:07:53.110 --> 00:07:55.125
No, okay, I'm worried about all of it.
00:07:55.125 --> 00:07:56.403
Oh, just any amount.
00:07:56.403 --> 00:07:57.809
What if it's 61?
00:07:57.809 --> 00:08:06.762
Then 60, and if it's 90, I have to try it before.
00:08:06.762 --> 00:08:07.324
That is a hard boundary.
00:08:07.324 --> 00:08:08.045
I am not good at boundaries.
00:08:08.045 --> 00:08:09.490
I just I say 60 just to kind of keep myself level.
00:08:09.509 --> 00:08:18.161
Now, if it's a bourbon I know, or a brand I know, or something that I've, you've tried, very familiar with, or if I've tried it, I will, I'll pull the trigger.
00:08:18.161 --> 00:08:21.548
But since I hadn't had this one, well, you don't have to shoot anything.
00:08:21.548 --> 00:08:22.391
You just buy it.
00:08:22.391 --> 00:08:23.341
You don't have to shoot it.
00:08:23.341 --> 00:08:25.564
That's just, that's violent phil.
00:08:25.564 --> 00:08:38.630
No, pulling the trigger is not just you can pull the trigger on a water nozzle, you could pull the trigger on any sort of nozzle, sort of really every nozzle.
00:08:38.630 --> 00:08:41.280
Wherever a nozzle is, it probably has somewhat of a trigger.
00:08:41.280 --> 00:08:42.344
This is kind of like a trigger.
00:08:42.344 --> 00:08:44.288
Okay, yeah, all right here, good point.
00:08:44.288 --> 00:08:50.115
Yeah, thank you, funny man.
00:08:50.179 --> 00:09:03.355
So so this one is sitting there like 80 or $90 and I'm like I don't know that I can do it, but I had just like gotten a new job and there was like some really good stuff happening and I was like you know what I'm gonna treat myself, I deserve this.
00:09:03.355 --> 00:09:05.120
I went back in and I bought the bottle.
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.253
You bought not only that, but you bought the.
00:09:07.253 --> 00:09:11.081
You were in a real like I'm gonna treat myself mood.
00:09:11.081 --> 00:09:14.721
You were like treat yourself, treat yourself to decadence and perfection.
00:09:14.721 --> 00:09:17.831
Yes, because that's what you bought, because that's what I bought.
00:09:17.831 --> 00:09:22.988
So then I, then I I try it and I'm like, oh, this is really, this is fantastic.
00:09:23.068 --> 00:09:25.831
And then I learn about the Crown Maple Syrup.
00:09:25.831 --> 00:09:28.173
Sorry, how did I Get this?
00:09:28.173 --> 00:09:29.495
Okay, I'm getting it.
00:09:29.495 --> 00:09:31.375
Crown Maple Syrup.
00:09:31.375 --> 00:09:39.462
They have a variant of their maple syrup that's aged in the whiskey barrels that this comes from.
00:09:39.462 --> 00:09:40.063
What?
00:09:40.063 --> 00:09:43.765
Yes, wait a second Uh-huh that that exact one comes from.
00:09:43.765 --> 00:09:45.006
So let me get this straight.
00:09:45.006 --> 00:09:48.980
Yes, crown maple syrup makes maple syrup in a barrel.
00:09:48.980 --> 00:09:52.658
Then Widow Jane or whatever, what is it called?
00:09:52.658 --> 00:09:53.321
Widow Jane?
00:09:53.321 --> 00:10:00.758
Widow Jane decides we're going to take that barrel from the maple syrup, we're going to pour our whiskey in it, we're going to finish it in that, finish it, yeah.
00:10:00.758 --> 00:10:02.071
Then Crown goes well, fine.
00:10:02.071 --> 00:10:02.171
Well.
00:10:02.171 --> 00:10:03.172
Then Kron goes well, fine.
00:10:03.172 --> 00:10:08.076
Well, we're going to take our barrel back then and put more maple syrup in that, yeah.
00:10:08.076 --> 00:10:15.764
And then we're going to bottle that up and we're going to sell it as bourbon barrel aged maple syrup and also maple syrup.
00:10:16.065 --> 00:10:20.052
Bourbon barrel aged maple syrup Right, but why doesn't Widow Jane go?
00:10:20.052 --> 00:10:22.216
You can play at this game.
00:10:22.216 --> 00:10:27.923
We're going to take our barrel back from the barrel that you barreled and barreled that we barreled, and we're going to barrel it in that barrel.
00:10:27.923 --> 00:10:32.806
Yeah, well, I'm pretty sure they do.
00:10:32.806 --> 00:10:36.335
So they do, but they can't call it bourbon because it has to be new.
00:10:36.335 --> 00:10:38.558
They finish it in those.
00:10:38.558 --> 00:10:42.304
So they start by brand new barrel so they can keep finishing it.
00:10:42.304 --> 00:10:52.703
They start with a brand new barrel and then that brand new barrel is now not able to be used for anything except for other things, finishing, no.
00:10:52.703 --> 00:11:00.923
So what they do is then they take that barrel that just had the Widow Jane in it, the regular whiskey, and they say, well, let's put some maple syrup in there.
00:11:00.923 --> 00:11:16.518
So once they pull that maple syrup out and they bottle that up as bourbon barrel aged maple syrup, then they throw the whiskey into that barrel again, and that's where they age yes, and that's where this comes from is it's finished in those maple syrup barrels?
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:21.131
Now, those maple syrup, the maple syrup, where is it?
00:11:21.131 --> 00:11:21.672
A friend?
00:11:21.672 --> 00:11:27.456
I, a friend, gave me a bottle, not this friend, no, a different Matt.
00:11:27.456 --> 00:11:29.878
Actually, really, hi, matt, different friend.
00:11:29.878 --> 00:11:32.620
We should probably have him on Brother.
00:11:32.620 --> 00:11:34.301
Brother, he could be my brother.
00:11:34.301 --> 00:11:36.282
He's not Just because he's named Matt.
00:11:36.282 --> 00:11:41.865
That's not usually how it works, though, because you don't name the same kid, two kids, the same name.
00:11:41.865 --> 00:11:46.698
I mean, there's Maybe my name's daryl, my brother daryl.
00:11:46.698 --> 00:11:55.129
Anyway, anyways, he gave you the syrup, he gave me the syrup, and I might have already finished the bottle.
00:11:55.129 --> 00:11:56.917
You drank the whole thing in one sitting, didn't you?
00:11:56.917 --> 00:12:03.794
No, oh no, you bought multiple, multiple mornings I've been putting in my coffee.
00:12:03.794 --> 00:12:05.798
Oh yeah, that is good.
00:12:05.798 --> 00:12:08.121
It is so tasty.
00:12:08.121 --> 00:12:09.163
It is so tasty.
00:12:09.163 --> 00:12:10.533
I know what we're talking about.
00:12:10.874 --> 00:12:15.532
This episode is just going to be called decadence, okay, and we're just going to talk about decadent things.
00:12:15.532 --> 00:12:24.618
Okay, like so then, so the other thing that we're going to try at some point we'll have to, we'll have to kind of uh huh.
00:12:24.618 --> 00:12:32.077
I was going to say reprise this role again, but I said reprise, I think in the last episode and I feel like maybe I said it earlier.
00:12:32.077 --> 00:12:36.034
I think you said refries, like refry it.
00:12:36.034 --> 00:12:37.600
Have you ever fried fries?
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:38.784
It's interesting.
00:12:38.784 --> 00:12:40.070
No, continue.
00:12:40.070 --> 00:12:45.437
But we're going to have to reprise this one and bring it back and do the Widow's what is it called this one?
00:12:45.437 --> 00:12:47.801
And bring it back and do the Widows Jane, old Fashioned.
00:12:48.522 --> 00:12:50.705
Oh, with maple syrup, with their maple syrup.
00:12:50.705 --> 00:12:55.195
It's the decadence, and the maple syrup a little bit of bitters.
00:12:55.195 --> 00:13:01.759
What they should do, they should take those bitters and they should put it in a maple syrup burl Burl.
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.437
Is that maple syrup burl?
00:13:05.437 --> 00:13:09.811
Maple syrup burl Is that a syrup barrel?
00:13:09.811 --> 00:13:11.731
Maple syrup barrel Is that a barrel?
00:13:11.731 --> 00:13:13.874
Is that a barrel that has been already like?
00:13:13.874 --> 00:13:14.975
Is it a bourbon barrel?
00:13:14.975 --> 00:13:17.875
No, it's the maple syrup bourbon barrel.
00:13:17.875 --> 00:13:19.857
So it's been mapled and bourboned.
00:13:19.857 --> 00:13:20.778
You know what they should do, what?
00:13:20.778 --> 00:13:21.778
They should put cherries in there?
00:13:21.778 --> 00:13:22.980
Ooh, age the cherries, age the cherries.
00:13:22.980 --> 00:13:23.419
Then make the bitters.
00:13:23.419 --> 00:13:24.880
What if they drop the cherries in there?
00:13:24.880 --> 00:13:26.020
Oh, age the cherries, age the cherries.
00:13:26.020 --> 00:13:26.522
Then make the bitters.
00:13:26.522 --> 00:13:28.743
What if they drop the cherries in the maple syrup?
00:13:28.743 --> 00:13:31.985
Maple syrup, cherries I'm down, let's go for it.
00:13:31.985 --> 00:13:33.725
And then put that into the barrel.
00:13:33.765 --> 00:13:36.087
We should get pancakes after this, we should.
00:13:36.087 --> 00:13:39.350
I mean it kind of.
00:13:39.350 --> 00:13:40.375
So I'll tell you one thing.
00:13:40.375 --> 00:13:50.957
Tell me one thing that I've been into lately, if you can't tell, oh, pancakes, maple syrup, yeah, yeah.
00:13:50.957 --> 00:13:51.861
Well, the last couple old fashions we've done.
00:13:51.861 --> 00:13:52.767
I've heard maple syrup has sugar in it.
00:13:52.767 --> 00:13:53.529
Does it have sugar in it?
00:13:53.529 --> 00:13:55.573
Yes, and I love it.
00:13:55.573 --> 00:13:56.475
Then I love it.
00:13:56.777 --> 00:14:02.715
I have gotten, I've really gotten into, uh, whiskeys that are finished in other barrels yes, I know this.
00:14:02.715 --> 00:14:05.221
Um and burp, and bourbons as well.
00:14:05.221 --> 00:14:06.202
I mean bourbons, finish it.
00:14:06.202 --> 00:14:10.761
But I've kind of been into some of those different flavor profiles.
00:14:10.761 --> 00:14:14.138
So maybe that's going to be the theme of our first few episodes.
00:14:14.138 --> 00:14:16.182
Oh, the finishes, because I've got some.
00:14:16.182 --> 00:14:20.135
No, I'm saying it weird, I agree.
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:25.631
Okay, like prickly pear, what Finish in a prickly pear barrel?
00:14:25.631 --> 00:14:26.494
Finishing the prickly pear?
00:14:26.494 --> 00:14:27.977
No, barrel rum barrels.
00:14:27.977 --> 00:14:29.923
Right, maple honey.
00:14:29.923 --> 00:14:33.417
Do you want more?
00:14:33.636 --> 00:14:35.961
I'm just learning that they're barreling a lot of stuff.
00:14:35.961 --> 00:14:38.513
I didn't realize that everything was barreled like.
00:14:38.513 --> 00:14:40.418
Why don't you barrel water?
00:14:40.418 --> 00:14:41.179
Do they barrel water?
00:14:41.179 --> 00:14:41.902
They probably do.
00:14:41.902 --> 00:14:42.870
Yes, really.
00:14:42.870 --> 00:14:43.293
Oh.
00:14:43.293 --> 00:14:46.509
Yeah, I mean not to age it, but, yeah, how do you think they move it around?
00:14:46.509 --> 00:14:47.452
Well, you can't age water.
00:14:47.452 --> 00:14:48.635
I mean I guess you can.
00:14:48.635 --> 00:14:49.940
Could could you age water?
00:14:49.940 --> 00:14:51.090
Disgusting, that's gross.
00:14:51.090 --> 00:14:52.373
There's dirty water.
00:14:52.373 --> 00:14:57.003
Huh, dirty, dirty water.
00:14:57.003 --> 00:14:58.706
Yeah, yeah, I like that idea.
00:14:58.706 --> 00:15:01.214
No, this is fantastic, it's really good.
00:15:01.214 --> 00:15:25.753
Yeah, I think I'm getting more of the, the mate, like I'm getting more of that syrup as I go, like what's lingering after and even that the mouth feel of it is kind of reminds me of like a thin syrup, because I've had, like, um, at these different like not a farmer's market, but uh, indianapolis state fair, they have this um pioneer village, yeah, and they make maple syrup there and they have maple.
00:15:25.974 --> 00:15:28.591
Do they make the maple syrup or do they just tap no tree?
00:15:28.591 --> 00:15:33.301
Well, they have, like, it's like all made there, so they do it.
00:15:33.301 --> 00:15:37.296
And at the market, yeah, like they bring a tree.
00:15:37.296 --> 00:15:42.254
Yes, there's like, and they tap the tree, they bring the tree, they replant the tree.
00:15:42.254 --> 00:15:44.578
They've tapped some tree tree.
00:15:44.599 --> 00:15:46.482
What tree does maple syrup come from?
00:15:46.482 --> 00:15:47.852
I'm pretty sure it's oak.
00:15:47.852 --> 00:15:53.410
I think it's a fig tree, because, you know, fig has sugar in it.
00:15:53.410 --> 00:15:55.018
Oh, my goodness, can I tell you something?
00:15:55.018 --> 00:15:56.836
Tell me something.
00:15:56.836 --> 00:15:58.936
I'm going to tell you something else.
00:15:58.936 --> 00:16:01.510
I said one thing earlier.
00:16:01.510 --> 00:16:02.556
I'm going to tell you another thing now.
00:16:02.556 --> 00:16:05.395
I tried a whiskey the other day.
00:16:05.395 --> 00:16:14.937
Did we try this whiskey here on the show?
00:16:14.937 --> 00:16:15.619
It's the fig with the fig.
00:16:15.619 --> 00:16:16.000
Yeah, it's the.
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:16.360
We did field rye.
00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:17.423
We did the field rye on the show.
00:16:17.423 --> 00:16:18.307
Yes, it's right over there.
00:16:18.307 --> 00:16:20.934
Oh, yeah, I know, but, like everyone, makes my eczema breakout.
00:16:20.934 --> 00:16:22.359
Oh, really, yeah, it's so sure.
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:23.009
I'll take it off your hand.
00:16:23.009 --> 00:16:23.712
Okay, you can actually have it.
00:16:23.712 --> 00:16:24.296
I will gift it to you short.
00:16:24.296 --> 00:16:24.837
I'll take it off your hand.
00:16:24.837 --> 00:16:25.662
Okay, you can actually have it.
00:16:25.662 --> 00:16:26.404
I will gift it to you.
00:16:26.404 --> 00:16:29.936
I will take it off your hand because the other one fell off from the leprosy.
00:16:29.936 --> 00:16:35.304
Poor leprosies, just lepers.
00:16:35.304 --> 00:16:36.933
Oh, you don't call them leprosies.
00:16:36.933 --> 00:16:42.535
No, okay, I call them lepers, lepers, those are the little animals that like right, yeah, running with the spots.
00:16:42.817 --> 00:16:46.445
Yeah, yep, um, what were we going to talk about?
00:16:46.445 --> 00:16:48.008
Decadence?
00:16:48.008 --> 00:16:50.613
Oh, self-indulgent, what is your?
00:16:50.613 --> 00:16:51.554
Okay?
00:16:51.554 --> 00:16:57.770
Here's, if I'm going to self-indulge on, I'm thinking just food, food.
00:16:57.770 --> 00:16:58.793
Really, are you hungry?
00:16:58.793 --> 00:16:59.374
Yeah, I am.
00:16:59.374 --> 00:17:00.696
I think I'm hungry.
00:17:01.357 --> 00:17:05.534
I had, you know, uh, the leftovers of the corn beef and all that.
00:17:05.534 --> 00:17:06.454
Oh, that sounds so good.
00:17:06.454 --> 00:17:07.342
I mean, corn beef is good, it's not.
00:17:07.342 --> 00:17:08.112
You know, the leftovers of the corned beef and all that, oh, that sounds so good.
00:17:08.112 --> 00:17:10.183
I mean, corned beef is good, it's not.
00:17:10.183 --> 00:17:16.919
You know, I wouldn't just go be like, hey, I want some corned beef Now, pastrami yes, I will be there for pastrami, isn't that corned beef?
00:17:16.919 --> 00:17:17.981
I think so.
00:17:17.981 --> 00:17:19.375
I don't actually know.
00:17:19.549 --> 00:17:20.736
I actually asked this question.
00:17:20.736 --> 00:17:23.218
I was like, what's the difference between corn people?
00:17:23.218 --> 00:17:23.917
Who did you ask?
00:17:23.917 --> 00:17:24.598
Madison?
00:17:24.598 --> 00:17:25.579
I was like she didn't know.
00:17:25.579 --> 00:17:32.003
Well, if I didn't go to somebody that knows well, I thought, you know she has irish heritage, so I thought she might know.
00:17:32.003 --> 00:17:34.846
Yeah, but pastrami is the jewish heritage.
00:17:34.886 --> 00:17:36.911
Yeah, uh, chat gpt would have helped you.
00:17:36.911 --> 00:17:40.865
Well, that's true, yeah, I don't really talk to anybody else other than chat gpt.
00:17:40.865 --> 00:17:42.952
Well, and your wife who doesn't know the difference?
00:17:42.952 --> 00:17:45.938
No, no, just talk to Chachapiti.
00:17:46.239 --> 00:17:53.017
But so, if I'm going to indulge, you know it's rich, it's like cheesecake, or really, to me it's key lime pie.
00:17:53.017 --> 00:17:55.303
Okay, yeah, key lime pie.
00:17:55.303 --> 00:18:00.472
And I don't know what's your like indulging.
00:18:00.472 --> 00:18:03.661
Well, okay, no, that's not indulging.
00:18:03.661 --> 00:18:08.270
Well, like decadence, so likeadence.
00:18:08.270 --> 00:18:09.894
So like to me, like creme brulee, good love it.
00:18:09.894 --> 00:18:12.499
That is a decadent dessert to me.
00:18:12.499 --> 00:18:17.095
Okay, what's your, what's your decadent dessert?
00:18:17.537 --> 00:18:18.560
We're gonna hit some themes.
00:18:18.560 --> 00:18:22.073
We're gonna talk about food, we're gonna talk about clothes, we're gonna talk about entertainment.
00:18:22.073 --> 00:18:24.778
Decadent in in all areas of life.
00:18:24.778 --> 00:18:25.460
We might as well.
00:18:25.460 --> 00:18:30.736
All right, well, yeah, all right, okay, this is good, okay, uh, where do I?
00:18:30.856 --> 00:18:32.338
What are my indulgences?
00:18:32.338 --> 00:18:40.057
What is, um, when it comes to food, what is the most indulging or decadent thing that you enjoy?
00:18:40.057 --> 00:18:47.308
Oh, man, uh, it's really like a toss up there because, like you know, I mean it's probably steak.
00:18:47.308 --> 00:18:51.015
Right, steak to me, I think it's like a really is steak decadent.
00:18:51.015 --> 00:18:54.259
I don't know what would you?
00:18:54.259 --> 00:19:02.275
When I hear the word decadent, I just almost see like a fairy skipping through the clouds.
00:19:02.275 --> 00:19:04.746
Is that not what decadence is?
00:19:04.746 --> 00:19:12.440
No, I guess decadence does have a sweet, a classiness, a sweet connotation to it, doesn't it?
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:15.917
Maybe I don't know, but it could be steak.
00:19:15.917 --> 00:19:18.011
We should ask your wife, who won't know.
00:19:18.011 --> 00:19:19.616
We could ask Chad GPT.
00:19:19.616 --> 00:19:22.513
I could call my wife and see if she has any idea.
00:19:22.513 --> 00:19:24.038
She'll be like what are you talking about, decadence.
00:19:24.038 --> 00:19:28.239
So I would say we're going to.
00:19:28.259 --> 00:19:29.442
It's not rooted in the real definition.
00:19:29.442 --> 00:19:36.320
If we go with like a decadent dessert, then it's probably like a.
00:19:36.320 --> 00:19:40.662
It's probably in the chocolate range.
00:19:40.662 --> 00:19:44.078
I mean I would imagine that like a chocolate cake.
00:19:44.078 --> 00:19:47.135
For sure Decadent would be in that place.
00:19:47.135 --> 00:19:53.480
That place, I mean, like I'm really thinking about gorging myself, like it's probably, it's actually probably.
00:19:53.941 --> 00:20:08.105
Um, there is a, there is a cake pie, ice cream combination called um, it's called the macadamia nut pie and it's ice cream what.
00:20:08.105 --> 00:20:16.183
And it's like Gibson's and it's got macadamia nuts and caramel chocolate ice cream.
00:20:16.183 --> 00:20:19.701
It is incredibly Decadent, decadent.
00:20:19.701 --> 00:20:21.064
It's very, very good.
00:20:21.064 --> 00:20:28.221
That sounds-, which is weird, because I would have said the bone-in ribeye from Gibson's would have been decadent.
00:20:28.221 --> 00:20:29.163
Sounds decadent, right?
00:20:29.163 --> 00:20:35.790
Yeah, so when I indulge, that's where I go Like, hey, we really want to indulge, yeah, it's.
00:20:35.790 --> 00:20:49.022
Let's go to Gibson's and get a steak, a nice steak, get a couple glasses of whiskey, right, and the macadamia nut turtle pie maybe, oh, turtle, the macadamia nut turtle pie, maybe a turtle, anything, I think it's turtle pie, which has nothing to do with turtles.
00:20:49.022 --> 00:20:54.900
No, somebody squeezed a turtle and like brown goo came out or something, and they're like oh, this reminds me of that caramel I had, but like I don't.
00:20:54.900 --> 00:20:56.611
Yeah, no, I don't, I don't know.
00:20:56.611 --> 00:20:57.953
So those are, those are the things.
00:20:57.953 --> 00:21:00.579
Okay, yeah, what about decadent?
00:21:01.362 --> 00:21:21.494
If you're gonna say clothing, like if you were to dress decadently, for me that feels like comfort, comfort, like I would want like a really comfortable fit, I don't know, like you're at a spa, no, not really Because there's a spa, I'm just taking all of it off.
00:21:21.494 --> 00:21:26.336
Well, what kind of spa are you going to Remind me never to go to the spa with you?
00:21:26.336 --> 00:21:29.318
Well, I mean, I'm not going to be wearing a bunch of clothes.
00:21:29.318 --> 00:21:33.036
I might be in a robe, a decadent robe, would you say.
00:21:33.036 --> 00:21:42.338
But I'm saying, if it's clothes, I'd like a really comfortable sweatshirt and, you know, comfy pants.
00:21:42.338 --> 00:21:42.942
I don't know.
00:21:42.942 --> 00:21:55.424
You're describing every overly exerted stay-at-home mom, okay, which we've now lost as a listener.
00:21:55.424 --> 00:21:58.499
Oh, come on, matt, like we ever had one.
00:21:58.499 --> 00:21:59.040
Oh, that's true.
00:21:59.040 --> 00:21:59.742
Yeah, that's true.
00:21:59.742 --> 00:22:02.337
Come on, my wife doesn't even listen to this.
00:22:02.337 --> 00:22:06.780
Yeah, I don't know, clothes are weird, okay, I don't know clothes.
00:22:06.780 --> 00:22:07.486
Yeah, clothes are weird.
00:22:07.486 --> 00:22:09.259
Okay, I don't know that I would decadent.
00:22:09.419 --> 00:22:10.663
Clothing to me would be.
00:22:10.663 --> 00:22:16.621
I would say like it would have to still be comfortable, yeah, but like, look really fancy.
00:22:16.621 --> 00:22:17.863
Well, that's kind of what I was saying.
00:22:17.863 --> 00:22:25.605
Yeah, I don't know, like, I'm not saying silky, flowy, okay, but I guess silk like a puffy shirt, I don't know.
00:22:25.605 --> 00:22:30.640
I'm not saying I'm not thinking like ross and his leather pants from friends, like I'm.
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:34.796
I'm saying like and, but I'm not thinking like juan pierre either.
00:22:34.796 --> 00:22:41.816
You know, like with his flowy white shirt on his you know black stallion coming across the beach here.
00:22:41.816 --> 00:22:43.599
Yeah, it's this guy that I hate.
00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:47.707
Wasn't't he a baseball player?
00:22:47.707 --> 00:22:51.689
I think he was, but it's not him, it's just any man in any foreign country.
00:22:51.689 --> 00:22:57.086
That was a potential threat in my days of feeling insecure.
00:22:57.086 --> 00:23:01.955
Okay, so they were called Juan Pierre, I think.
00:23:02.175 --> 00:23:08.882
For me it would be being able to dress like James Bond, oh, yeah, oh yeah, see, that's it, but like a comfortable suit.
00:23:08.882 --> 00:23:15.429
But not just the suit, it's also like I think of Christina Royale.
00:23:15.429 --> 00:23:17.911
Yeah, royale, that's how you say the word.
00:23:17.911 --> 00:23:21.279
Yeah, that's what I said, you said Royale.
00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:22.723
I just said it fast.
00:23:22.723 --> 00:23:28.681
Sorry, dang it.
00:23:28.681 --> 00:23:34.368
I'm so mean sometimes when it comes to enunciation of words, I can get real nasty.
00:23:34.368 --> 00:23:36.330
Yeah, it's nasty.
00:23:36.330 --> 00:23:37.296
I apologize.
00:23:37.296 --> 00:23:40.375
That's good, that's good.
00:23:40.375 --> 00:23:44.659
Well, in Casino Royale, is it a royale with cheese?
00:23:44.659 --> 00:23:47.442
Yeah, okay, is it a royale with cheese?
00:23:47.442 --> 00:23:51.586
Yeah, okay, he dresses down really well, which is interesting.
00:23:51.586 --> 00:23:56.490
Like he's dressed down, but he still looks like James Bond.
00:23:56.490 --> 00:24:03.137
He's still decadent and that, to me, that might be the ultimate there.
00:24:03.157 --> 00:24:06.982
What is the most decadent activity?
00:24:06.982 --> 00:24:12.131
Hmm, wow, that's a really good question.
00:24:12.131 --> 00:24:14.039
Do you have one in mind?
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:20.943
Well, okay, maybe I'm thinking specifically when I hear the word decadence immediately I don't know why it just reminds me of golf.
00:24:20.943 --> 00:24:22.928
Why?
00:24:22.928 --> 00:24:31.234
Why?
00:24:31.255 --> 00:24:42.872
Probably because you have this inflated sense of golf being, um, like an impossible sport that you have to have like an immense amount of skill and and then, typically after hole nine, you have to be able to compose yourself still and keep going upset and throw the clubs at a bird.
00:24:42.872 --> 00:24:58.505
Okay, yes, all right, yeah, and by bird I mean the caddy that will no longer be with us, right, right, I think you know, in a lot of people's minds, golf is sort of an elitist type of sport and it like but it is, it is, it can be decadent.
00:24:58.505 --> 00:25:06.588
I mean, you're sitting there, it is, but would you say it's more decadent than fencing?
00:25:06.588 --> 00:25:10.242
I wouldn't say fencing is decadent.
00:25:10.242 --> 00:25:14.279
I would say fencing is for people that are like what about polo?
00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:16.682
Oh, polo is decadent for sure.
00:25:16.682 --> 00:25:18.823
Yeah, that's definitely a decadent sport.
00:25:18.823 --> 00:25:21.083
See, golf is attainable.
00:25:22.295 --> 00:25:24.743
Golf might not be at decadent level.
00:25:24.743 --> 00:25:33.863
It might be quite well, it might be quite delightful.
00:25:33.863 --> 00:25:34.684
It might be delightful.
00:25:34.684 --> 00:25:36.096
I think golf is delightful.
00:25:36.096 --> 00:25:36.838
Is what that is?
00:25:36.838 --> 00:25:38.903
Yes, okay, golf is delightful.
00:25:38.903 --> 00:25:40.507
Decadent would be.
00:25:40.507 --> 00:25:41.347
I played golf with you.
00:25:41.347 --> 00:25:43.595
It was not at all delightful.
00:25:43.595 --> 00:25:46.424
You would not be able to convince me that you thought golf was delightful.
00:25:46.424 --> 00:25:47.898
No, this is golf.
00:25:48.580 --> 00:25:50.878
Anybody you ask hey, did you go golfing today?
00:25:50.878 --> 00:25:51.501
Yeah, how was it?
00:25:51.501 --> 00:25:52.498
It was good.
00:25:52.498 --> 00:25:53.958
That's golf.
00:25:53.958 --> 00:25:56.078
Yeah, and you know it was good.
00:25:56.078 --> 00:25:59.403
Yeah, when your voice goes up like that, you're like I had a good time.
00:25:59.403 --> 00:26:00.839
No, it sucked.
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:01.342
Why?
00:26:01.342 --> 00:26:03.719
Because every ball I hit I don't know where it is.
00:26:03.719 --> 00:26:11.494
That's why and there are less birds now in the greater McHenry County area, because of my crappy golf season.
00:26:12.136 --> 00:26:14.663
I can't wait for golf season to kick back off.
00:26:14.663 --> 00:26:15.105
Let's go.
00:26:15.105 --> 00:26:16.720
No, you're not invited.
00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:18.044
This is not Dang it.
00:26:18.044 --> 00:26:20.182
We need to get you some lessons.
00:26:20.182 --> 00:26:23.763
I wonder how much money you've spent on me, on golf, on me.
00:26:23.763 --> 00:26:26.471
Probably not a lot.
00:26:26.471 --> 00:26:29.796
Probably not a lot.
00:26:29.796 --> 00:26:30.417
All right, no, let's step it up.
00:26:30.438 --> 00:26:34.496
Come on, see, like the decadence part of it, like, yes, if you're talking about country clubs and all that kind of stuff.
00:26:34.496 --> 00:26:39.957
But but that's not the golf that that I play, or that we play, or certainly not, or that I'm allowed at.
00:26:39.957 --> 00:26:41.019
You're not allowed there.
00:26:41.019 --> 00:26:42.102
No, absolutely not.
00:26:42.102 --> 00:26:46.020
I do have a country club shirt that I got at the thrift store.
00:26:46.020 --> 00:26:47.084
It just says Country Club.
00:26:47.084 --> 00:26:49.804
No, it's just for all country clubs.
00:26:50.375 --> 00:26:54.786
No, it's the Crystal Lake Country Club and I'm pretty sure I'm going to go in and just try to walk in and see what happens.
00:26:54.786 --> 00:27:03.986
Oh, they're going to see your bald head and shaved face and they'll know this guy obviously couldn't even afford hair plugs, so he doesn't belong here.
00:27:03.986 --> 00:27:08.198
Look at his nevis, look at his nevis.
00:27:08.198 --> 00:27:10.001
Show even he can't even get his nevis all the way down.
00:27:10.001 --> 00:27:13.718
You gotta scrape it off, like if fred took my nevis off last week.
00:27:13.718 --> 00:27:17.184
Frederick, how is frederick anyway?
00:27:18.769 --> 00:27:21.575
Uh, decadent, decadence, that's well, you know.
00:27:21.575 --> 00:27:24.440
I don't know if I have a decadent activity, necessarily.
00:27:24.440 --> 00:27:27.404
I mean probably Jacuzzi.
00:27:27.404 --> 00:27:29.829
You know what With a champagne?
00:27:29.829 --> 00:27:31.780
No, I don't do champagne.
00:27:31.954 --> 00:27:34.063
The spa, I would say, would be decadent, though I think you're right.
00:27:34.063 --> 00:27:36.972
Yeah, I think there could be some decadence.
00:27:36.972 --> 00:27:41.795
A spa, I think indulgence is probably a little bit easier to understand than decadence.
00:27:41.795 --> 00:27:43.397
I don't really know what decadence means.
00:27:43.397 --> 00:27:45.021
Decadence who really knows what decadence means?
00:27:45.021 --> 00:27:46.765
I mean, the word decade is in it and then it's just nce.
00:27:46.765 --> 00:27:50.058
Ooh, that's a good point.
00:27:50.058 --> 00:27:53.513
So is there some sort of timelessness to it?
00:27:53.513 --> 00:27:55.623
It's a decadence, decadence.
00:27:55.623 --> 00:27:58.036
Yes, the Widow Jane decadence, it's decadence.
00:27:58.036 --> 00:27:59.800
Maybe we've been saying that Decadence.
00:28:00.201 --> 00:28:03.897
Well, speaking of Widows, this is really good.
00:28:03.897 --> 00:28:05.040
Yeah, wid.
00:28:05.040 --> 00:28:06.807
Speaking of widows, this is really good.
00:28:06.807 --> 00:28:09.153
Yeah, widow Jane, widow Jane, wait, it is Widow Jane.
00:28:09.153 --> 00:28:09.654
It is Widow Jane.
00:28:09.654 --> 00:28:11.280
Widow Jane, decadence.
00:28:11.280 --> 00:28:13.041
It is aged to perfection.
00:28:13.295 --> 00:28:18.876
If you're looking for a whiskey stamp of approval, this one's got it At $90,.
00:28:18.876 --> 00:28:21.881
If you can find it, I would definitely pick it up.
00:28:21.881 --> 00:28:28.375
And if you find the Crown Bourbon Barrel, agbon barrel aged maple syrup, go ahead and pick that one up as well.
00:28:28.375 --> 00:28:31.182
25, put it in your cart and purchase it.
00:28:31.182 --> 00:28:32.965
25, I've seen it at costco.
00:28:32.965 --> 00:28:34.556
I've even seen it on amazon.
00:28:34.556 --> 00:28:35.900
Don't bring amazon on this.
00:28:35.900 --> 00:28:38.346
I've even seen it at costco.
00:28:38.346 --> 00:28:39.528
Okay, um.
00:28:39.528 --> 00:28:45.364

00:29:00.384 --> 00:29:03.884
Perhaps maybe you've been to the jungle like in the Amazon.
00:29:03.884 --> 00:29:06.979
Well, this was really good, matt, thank you.
00:29:06.979 --> 00:29:09.606
Thank you, what did you think of me before I didn't do anything?
00:29:09.606 --> 00:29:11.185
No, I appreciate you.
