Speaker 1:

Welcome to Whiskey Bits with.

Speaker 2:

Matt and Phil, where we sip on everyday whiskeys and find the funny in our everyday lives.

Speaker 1:

Are you ready to try something? I'm ready. Okay, are you ready?

Speaker 2:

though New season new. Lou, are you ready? I'm ready. I don't know what are we in for.

Speaker 1:

I'm just going to. I want you to smell. It Smells good, Doesn't it smell good? It really does.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

So we typically have been doing $50 or less.

Speaker 2:

Typically.

Speaker 1:

Like easy to find. For the start of season two, I wanted to kind of buck the trend. Let's buck it, as they say, and what we're going to try today is this is an MGP product, so this one comes to us from Indiana. Oh, thank you, indiana. This is from Indiana. My son, mgp oh, my son, my son. This is the New Lou double toasted bourbon whiskey, finished with toasted French oak staves. What is a stave? That's the part of the whiskey barrel.

Speaker 1:

Oh the wood. Why did I just say French oak wood? Well, it's the strips of wood that make up the barrel.

Speaker 2:

Oh, can you intersperse different types of wood in a barrel?

Speaker 1:

Well, you could Ooh, that'd be interesting. Or you could just drop the toasted French oak staves into a barrel. Oh, is that what they do? That's what they do.

Speaker 2:

So it's floating wood inside of a barrel.

Speaker 1:

Correct, okay, so, yeah. So double toasted, wow. So a toasted barrel a little bit different than the typical charred barrel, right? So a charred barrel like we know about bourbon has to go into an oak charred oak barrel. A charred barrel like we know about bourbon has to go into an oak charred oak oak barrel right new one the toasted process.

Speaker 1:

What the toasted process is is they heat up the wood first, okay, and then they fire it to get it charred, but by toasting it it starts to sort of bring out some of the flavor profiles that you can get is it into the lighter than charring, like is it less time or something?

Speaker 2:

it's less time. Okay, it's way less time. So in marshmallow terms, we're talking charred barrel. Is you let the marshmallow go on fire?

Speaker 1:

it's on fire and it's black at the end of it and you're like wow this is good and crunchy right.

Speaker 2:

Uh, toasted is. You take five hours. And you're like, wow, this is good and crunchy right. Uh, toasted is you take five hours. And you're like, oh, I'm a marshmallow connoisseur.

Speaker 1:

And you sit there like a moron toasting it until it's perfectly brown yeah, okay, kind of yeah, well, except that what you're doing is you're you're actually going really high heat for a short amount of time just to well, because it's warm it. Yeah, exactly, and then you fire it to bring it to whatever char is. The most common charring level for bourbon is right around three, between two and three makes sense because I know what those numbers mean in regards to char level okay, so if you think of so, the four is the highest char level.

Speaker 1:

I don't know what that is.

Speaker 2:

That's why I'm explaining. Oh okay, good, that's what happened here.

Speaker 1:

The highest level of char is four and they call that the alligator char because it looks like alligator skin. Okay, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, and then just think about it a little bit less than that would be a three and then a one like a chameleon, more like a chameleon.

Speaker 2:

Right, they really should put. They should put other animal skins to it, because I feel like, like snake skin, probably would be right below alligator char because it's not as bumpy but it still has those like little lines, you know okay snake char snake char. Okay, and then below that maybe trout, trout char, trout char okay, and then below.

Speaker 1:

That would be char, which is an also another type of fish oh, it could be char, char, char, and then below that would be tar, tar, tar, tar, char, tar tar just flat like tar right. And then there's. Then there's toasted char, toasted char, all right. So the double toasted allows the bourbon to interact with the wood a little bit more and there's quite a bit more flavor. Spending a little more time together, are they? So this is aged for five years, but when you look at this, this does not look like a five-year-old.

Speaker 2:

This looks like a 500-year. This looks like a lot older, right Dark yeah Now, is that because of the double toasting Because of the toast. Or is it just toasted in general is darker.

Speaker 1:

Toasted in general is darker because it interacts more with the wood. It starts. It starts the process to kind of release some of those flavors that are in the wood. So this is 58.3%, 116 proof.

Speaker 2:

This is a single barrel.

Speaker 1:

I picked this one up at the Antioch Fine Wine and Liquor in Antioch Illinois. Good, I have tried this over at Whiskey Bungalow. Oh yeah, Shout out. Maybe from a little private selection. But I finally found my own for a private selection, so we're going to get into this one tonight.

Speaker 2:

To season two. To season two.

Speaker 1:

Ba-bam Cheers. It's just so good, dog, it's just so it's really good I haven't had.

Speaker 2:

I haven't had a glass of whiskey in maybe six, eight weeks well, yes, definitely that long we recorded an episode maybe no like two weeks yeah and so this is just pleasantly. Yeah, do you hitting the palette where?

Speaker 1:

where are you at with the palette?

Speaker 2:

uh, I'm gonna have to do it again, okay there's, there's.

Speaker 1:

It's very, very sweet, because the first thing I was gonna say is such a sweetness to it, but it's not like, uh, it's. It's not an obnoxious sweet that you get from overly corn, like anything with corn husk. Yeah, it's more of like a rich vanilla caramel butterscotch.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, butterscotch is a good one, rich, caramel deep caramel for sure.

Speaker 1:

And then you do get the oak, like the oaky burn that you can get sometimes with the whiskey, but that's a little bit later on the finish and the mouthfeel is just so smooth and silky, yeah rich, sweet, smooth, silky, caramel vanilla.

Speaker 2:

I'm getting way more, like you've said, vanilla a lot in a lot of these and I've been like I can kind of see. But this one I'm getting like, yes, a lot of. I'm getting way more, like you've said, vanilla a lot in a lot of these and I've been like I can kind of see, but this one I'm getting like, yes, like vanilla for sure, not vanilla bean as much as just like almost that like kind of the vanilla extract.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

You know what I mean, Like the oil, yeah something. It's just that deep rich vanilla flavor.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, well, they say that the toasting, like one of the first flavors it brings out, is vanilla, vanilla. Yeah, so that that does make. It does make a lot of sense. So good, isn't it?

Speaker 2:

tasty and I do like how it feel, isn't gonna sound weird how it feels yeah, the mouth feels nice.

Speaker 1:

Hey, it's a thing we've got to be mature, but yes it's.

Speaker 2:

We're talking about whiskey people, um, but no, I do, I like it's, it's not.

Speaker 1:

It doesn't kill me going down, I don't know I haven't been in front of a camera in so long, so I was just like what do I do?

Speaker 2:

what do I do with my hands? Uh, not that. I just looked at all three cameras dead in the eye so I was watching on youtube.

Speaker 1:

We're gonna be like why are you just looking? Is he looking?

Speaker 2:

at every camera. Oh man, but yeah, no, it. It it sets. Well, it doesn't. It's not a. Some drinks are just hard to drink. You know, we were at whiskey bungalow uh last week or whatever two weeks ago. Yeah, um, there were that it. It had that kind of bitter aftertaste.

Speaker 1:

This doesn't do that, oh yeah, the, the tasting that, whichever one. Yeah, what we were doing.

Speaker 2:

This is like, yeah, that it feels it kind of like keeps the same flavor profile even throughout.

Speaker 1:

Yeah yeah, it's very nice. I love it. I love it. I've seen these a lot. The new loo the new loo is fairly common. You can find the new Lou. You can often find the new Lou toasted. It's right around 50, 60 bucks. The new Lou's themselves between 30 and 45. They do have a weeded expression. They've got a bourbon expression. I'm not sure that I've seen a rye. It's a really really good brand, the really good stuff.

Speaker 2:

It's the first time we've tried it on the show. I'm pretty sure Right, it's the first time we've tried it.

Speaker 1:

And I've kind of been holding out for this double toasted since the first time I saw it. Tried it. Um, this one comes in around 70 bucks. So, and again this is a barrel pick, so you have to go fantastic go find it, but if you do see it, grab it. I I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Speaker 2:

No, it's really good, I almost get a little bit of like, I'm gonna say, creme brulee, but like that burnt, burnt sugar, burnt sugar on the top, and it, yeah, almost reminds me of either that creme brulee or like banana, almost like like a banana foster? Yeah, not as strong as the other one that we tried that one time. That was really banana's foster, but it has a little bit of that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Really good. Okay so what have you been up to, Dude? I've been up to so much.

Speaker 1:

Well, tell me about it. I don't even know where to start. I wouldn't. Let's just end the podcast here.

Speaker 2:

Let's just be done is be done no, uh, you know, I mean I think the last time we chatted we were talking about our new work and new jobs, and so I've been just video editing like a mofo, um and just doing a ton of that and um, yeah, I did my. So like the first month of the year was just filled with comedy shows, yeah, which was awesome, like every weekend I had. I had two shows every weekend in the month of January, which was really cool.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And I've been doing a lot of just getting inspired and doing a lot of stuff creatively. That has been really fun.

Speaker 1:

Well, tell me about something that's been inspiring you. I want to hear the jokes that you're writing.

Speaker 2:

Well, honestly, I've been coming up with a lot of sketches, okay, like sketch comedy stuff. I've been watching, I don't know, I watched the Saturday Night live documentary and it's like four episodes and then I watched before that I watched the movie it's called Saturday night Loved it. It was so good and I really was like wow, like Lorne Michaels, like you know. I don't know how true all of that is, but I think for the most part it's relatively true. Okay, don't know how true all of that is, but I think for the most part it's relatively true. Okay, but just like reminding me again of, like, what I love about the behind the scenes of show business and like the work that it takes and the you know not the glamour stuff, but it's like putting the scripts together and working with the actors and like getting a show together and specifically for what he was doing, like just all the stuff he had to go through and the things that were going wrong and all the obstacles. But it's just that chaos. I mean the whole the movie Saturday Night, like it's just pure chaos. Yeah, like, because it's all about the first, the very first Saturday Night Live show. Okay, season one, episode one, and how it almost didn't come together at all. And so I just was like and how it almost didn't come together at all, and so I just was like it reminded me of how much I love live performance and how much I love sketch comedy.

Speaker 2:

And so then I just like started cause you know me, if I get into something I get like obsessed. So I started immersing myself in like all the different documentaries and I was watching like the one episode on auditions and I was like that is one of my dreams is like I want to audition for snl someday. But like half the 90 of the battle is getting the audition. Like sure, it's almost like very, it's very rare that you even get the audition. So anyway, so that's been kind of cool. But I've been coming up with all these like sketch comedy ideas. So I think one of the things while I'm doing the stand up and working with my booking manager to get shows this year, I've been keeping track of like how many I've been doing, but like I also want to start maybe writing and producing some sketch comedy stuff to kind of just put that out there and sure, yeah, so yeah, I think I'm gonna try to get another dry bar special, hopefully this fall.

Speaker 2:

Um, so that's kind of in the works. Yeah, we'll see what happens. Another trip to utah, yeah, dude.

Speaker 1:

Oh, same house, different house, I don't know I don't know, maybe there'll be a reprisal of the Huber, that's right, the human Uber.

Speaker 2:

You just dragged me on stage and sort of threw me out. I'm not carrying you again, that's it. That'd be funny.

Speaker 1:

It would be funny. Actually, this is where. This is probably where, because remember, when we first got started with this, you were trying to come up with a persona. Oh yeah, and you said the persona that I want is I want to enter a stage a different way every single time.

Speaker 2:

I just did not do that at all.

Speaker 1:

No, no, you did it one time and that was it.

Speaker 2:

I did it a couple times back when I was doing the theater show at the Woodstock Opera House. Oh, okay, so I did one where I just walked on, I looked at the audience and then kept walking.

Speaker 1:

And then I just walked, but yeah, yeah, and I did one where I just clearly just I didn't even acknowledge him, I just walked straight across. Yes, that's good. Well, and then you also did one, didn't you do? You did one at the uh, the old folks home, that didn't you like? Come on and just start singing, yes, so that's a little bit different, that's right, I've been doing a lot of shows for old folks.

Speaker 2:

I I've discovered, you know, here's the thing. So I had one of the gigs that I got. They're not all like Wow, but to me any show is great that you get paid for. So this one was at an old folks home. I got to the second one I got sick and I was like let's not kill any old people today. So I had to back out of that one. Maybe tomorrow, yeah, maybe tomorrow when I'm feeling better. But the first one was at this old folks. It was not not a retirement facility, but it was kind of like there's some nursing, some retirement, it was assisted living, yeah, that's right assisted and you know, and I just kind of knew, like the demographic of the people obviously that are going to be there.

Speaker 2:

So I grew up super close with my grandpa, um, and I really, you know, I love frank sinatra, I love dean martin, ben crosby, all the old-fashioned stuff, the crooners and yeah and so I was like I don't know what it just popped in my head.

Speaker 2:

Maybe god was like here you go, like here's an idea. Because I was like, you know, these, these people are like used to a certain type of comedy they're used to growing up with, you know, certain entertainers like Johnny Carson oh gosh, all the, just tons of different people and then music wise they're, you know, probably like used to a lot of that crooners stuff, the Rat Pack. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Little Elvis. Yeah, and so I was like I was like you know what I should do? I should Bing Crosby, Bing Crosby.

Speaker 2:

I was like I was like you know what I should do I should bing crosby, bing crosby um.

Speaker 2:

I was like I should danny k, danny k. Well, and I kind of wanted to. I was like I want to do like a late night show, like a johnny carson, basically like where there's a little variety. So I was like, well, what if I sang a song at the beginning, yeah, and, and then did my jokes, you know, and uh, just to kind of give them a little extra, because I'm like I don't know how often they're getting out and what they do, and so I'm like, at the very least, I'm going to give them a good show.

Speaker 2:

It's in, like it was in like their lounge kitchen lounge area. It was not fancy at all, yeah, but I wore a suit. I attempted to bring audio equipment that completely failed, so it was just me just up there with no mic, just, but it was, you know, a small space, yeah, and uh, but I did get my phone speaker connected to a jbl speaker that somebody had and so I was able to play, um, the karaoke version of fly me to the moon, okay, and I sang to it and then I invited them to say it was really cool. It was really cool and uh, they all had a blast, they had a great time and, like this one lady came up to me and had me sign her, her, her package of uh, it wasn't, it wasn't whoppers, it was snow caps, which I thought was so funny.

Speaker 1:

And uh, she's like I also got like uh, good and plenty, no, she's, yeah, I also have those.

Speaker 2:

Can you sign those? She's kept pulling out candy. I'm like I'm not, like I don't work for the candy company. Do you work for the candy company? Hey, you look like this guy in the lemon heads box. Yeah, can you sign that because you're bald? No, she was like I got jim gaffigan, so I need yours. I was like I'm glad that you think that I should be up there with that guy. But, um, but yeah, it was just really fun and I feel like I love that crowd. Yeah, they're kind of my people. So, uh, I was like you know what? Uh, most people probably look at it at a show like that. I don't necessarily say that, but some people might look at it, go oh, it's not a club or it's not a theater or whatever.

Speaker 1:

Like oh, my god, you know, but I'm like no, like that's, that was so fun yeah it was awesome yeah, did I ever tell you about the time that, um, my punk band played for the group of second graders? No, so you.

Speaker 2:

So you did the opposite At my old grade school. Were you also a second grader at this time?

Speaker 1:

No, no, I was in high school, okay, and I don't know how we got hooked up with this, but we were asked to go in and play a few songs, and so we did. We went and played a few songs.

Speaker 2:

For second graders. Yeah, at my old grade school.

Speaker 1:

It's like for indie.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, what did you play? Like the Wiggles.

Speaker 1:

No, we played punk rock.

Speaker 2:

Like the explicit version.

Speaker 1:

No.

Speaker 2:

Oh, okay.

Speaker 1:

No, that's awesome. We were a I guess you could say like we were a Christian punk rock band. So ska no, oh, okay, like punk rock band. So ska no, like punk. Actually punk rock no because we didn't have any horn. We didn't have a horn section, so we were playing. We couldn't be Tabasco, because that's copyrighted Tabasco sauce, right, so you couldn't be Tabasco, but that's what we wanted to be, so instead we named ourselves Pepper Sauce.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I got it.

Speaker 1:

I was like where is this going? Yeah, so you're pepper sauce. That was the name of the band?

Speaker 2:

yeah, and it was. Uh, it was me and a couple other guys. Dude, that's awesome. Were any of these guys from the well-known band named chevelle? No, or related to anybody in the well-known band named chevelle that you grew up with and you won't introduce me to, and I'm still upset about it.

Speaker 1:

No, nope, okay, none of them. None of them. They wouldn't lower themselves to play for a bunch of second graders at Woodview Elementary School in Grayslake, maybe they would. No chance, no chance. So that's the closest that I can relate to that no chance.

Speaker 2:

So that's the closest that I can relate to that. So you're saying is the closest you can relate to entertaining old people is entertaining extremely young people. Got it Okay, all right.

Speaker 1:

But I was in high school. We took whatever chance we could get. Did you ever do Battle of the Bands? Never, we were never that good. Are you kidding?

Speaker 2:

My band sucked and I did Battle of the Bands Never. We were never that good. Are you kidding my?

Speaker 1:

band sucked and I did Battle of the Bands. I think we sang one song. Sang one song and the rest was just instrumental. I was just playing stupid punk rock. It was so dumb. Well, it wasn't dumb, we had fun, of course.

Speaker 2:

But it was like At the time, though you're like I am so getting a girlfriend time though you're like I am so getting a girlfriend.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, let me just walk around the crowd, not at the second grader thing I'm thinking in general, but I do see how that sounded weird yeah, thanks I want to go back to what I said was that it was that you rewind yeah, yeah I'm still getting a girlfriend in my high school, where appropriate yeah, uh, no, no, I might have been done with high school by then, oh yeah so then you can't still creepy I don't remember, like why would I be in a school?

Speaker 2:

was this for charity was some were you dying?

Speaker 1:

was somebody dying? We were definitely asked like, hey, I know a teacher that's looking for something fun for their second graders to do. Uh-huh, would you guys want to go play in their gymnasium? I don't know, like I was like, say like, that it's gymnasium.

Speaker 2:

You know, just like there's no pause in the word gymnasium. It's not like somebody's nasium, it's not like a guy named jim who owns a nasium, it's just gymnasium. Man.

Speaker 1:

Like just my mistake okay, I'd rewind it, but I don't know how to make that, just indulged on that stupid joke yeah, I just kept going you did. It's really annoying, there was no, there was no stopping you. Anyway, what I was trying to say what is? Your point of all this. We should get back into some of the crazy ways that you can come on the stage. Oh, because that was.

Speaker 2:

I love the idea of having a mariachi band yes, that's still my favorite, I know, I think if I do dry bar, I think we have to find a I think we do I think that's it. Like I think we just have to find a local mariachi band to come on and then be like ole and then leave, and then introducing Matt Summerfield.

Speaker 1:

You'd already be introduced, because they do the introduction.

Speaker 2:

Oh, that's right, Matt Summerfield, please welcome to the stage, Matt Summerfield.

Speaker 1:

And then it's.

Speaker 2:

I just walk out. Do I walk out normally? You better be in a sombrero.

Speaker 1:

Do I wear a sombrero, mi amigo.

Speaker 2:

And then I walk out with the sombrero.

Speaker 1:

Throw it into the crowd, throw it into the crowd?

Speaker 2:

Is it too indulgent or? Or or Does one of the mariachi men not have one on and he comes up to me, he stops playing and he gets your hat, takes the hat and he goes, give it back, puts it on, and then they walk away.

Speaker 1:

I don't know.

Speaker 2:

So funny. I like this. I like this. Do you want to do some sketch comedy videos with me?

Speaker 1:

I would like to record them. I'm not a great actor.

Speaker 2:

I don't know why I paused, it just was funny. It's not gymnasium.

Speaker 1:

Here's the thing.

Speaker 2:

I think, what I'm going to do is I'm going to shave Like I've shaved my head. I've kept it going. Dude, I thought my nevus was growing back.
