Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another exciting episode of Mick Don't Plug, and today we're doing something really cool. We're in person, we're in my house, and I've got a guy when we talk about the power of social media that's already change in my life. He is none other than the infamous, the bourbon barrel guy himself. Mr. Dana Lewis. Doing great.
01:13 Appreciate you having me. Bro, I'm the iron one. I ordered this barrel and we're going to talk a lot about this barrel. We're going to talk a lot about bourbon. We're going to talk a lot about you. I ordered this. Not expecting you, the owner of the company, to say, not only will I build this for you, but I'll come down and deliver it.
01:33 Yeah, they got those like install special. I love it too, man. It meant the world to me that you would want to do that. But before we get started on this podcast and we talk about the barrel company that you have and the things that you're doing to kind of highlight this, I kind of think your bottle's empty. Mine, I have to have something in my glass. Your glass is empty. You're still good. I'm still good.
01:58 So we're going in. I'm going to show you this. We're going to zoom in and show how cool this feature. really, yeah. So this is what got me to want this. I'm on social media. I just got hooked up with Jared Allen and the company full ride is bourbon. And they had this video of the coolest home barrel that I'd ever see. And I saw these buttons and I was like, oh, that's not real. And then I reached out and it was like, hey, is that like something that you really really going to go? All day long.
02:31 So we're going to show this line, man. And like, if you're into bourbon, just watch how freaking cool this is. There's no, no AI. No AI. So yeah, we got the app. Pushing some buttons, filling some bourbon. I don't know if you could hear that. That's my second favorite, I was like.
02:57 And then look at this. A glasses poor. This was to you, my friend. Cheers. It was to you. Appreciate it. Absolutely. So, Daniel, again, over the last three months, I've really got to know you through social media.
03:14 And it's weird because Daniel John told me this, and I didn't believe it at first. I didn't pay attention to it at first. He told me you can tell a lot about people's character and their values through social media. I was like, okay, you're Damon John again. But I really put that into play with me now. I can see who you are by the way you communicate, the type of post that you do. I heard through the great mind that you have an amazing editor of your videos, and maybe there's some jealousy because you don't edit sometimes.
03:44 You just post it. The best in the business. The best in the business. Jeremiah, I don't know. But learning about your character, your values, the family man that you are, I want to ask you what I ask all my guests. Like, what shall be cause, right?
04:06 Like that thing that's deeply than your wine. And the reason I view that is, if I were asking you what you're why, and then you're going to tell me your kids, your spouse or whatever, and I'm going to say, but why, that sentence usually starts us with,
04:20 well, because. And I care about what you say immediate, yeah, so if I was say, Daniel, man, like all the amazing things that you do,
04:27 human being that you are, what's your because? What's your purpose? Why do you do those things, brother? I would say, I think there's, there's an underlying,
04:39 part to each of us that is like a natural creative. I say a lot of bringing something like this barrel to life. It's the idea, right, the intent and then the action that creates things in the real world. So I think that's kind of what drives me is
05:03 because I want to see how far I can take, taking something from in here and bringing it into the physical world. Okay. So it's, I think there's something, you know, not to get like religious about it, but there's something like divinely creative about being able to take something from a thought and watching yourself build it in reality. So that's, it's huge for me.
05:31 I've seen it happen just from, you know, coming from the places that I came from to being where I'm at now taking, taking a thought and being able to watch it, you know, grow in real time. So I think that's my because. Amazing. When did you realize that you had that gift or that skill, right? Like for me, there's certain things that over its time, it's like I can look back and say, oh, well, I guess that started developing around 13, like, now that I think of a lot.
06:01 So one of my least favorite things that people do are like, what would you tell the 13-year-old you or the 15 year old youth. But I like to go back to see how I thought at those ages. I never want to talk to that person because I can just go talk to youths. Right. I'd rather just go inspire other people than have a conversation with myself that I can't really have. Yeah.
06:23 But for you, like, when did you realize that that was a passion or skill of you have? I would say around the time I was like 15, 16. Okay. I was very creative, doing music, doing art. just all these things that I think, whether you're talking about poetry or writing a song or whatever it is, there's
06:45 something that comes, it almost feels like outside of you where you're, you're kind of intuiting stuff and being able to bring that to fruition. So I think that's where the spark happened. I was in a couple of bands in high school. And this is kind of similar to me. It's, it's an art form.
07:07 You know, so being able to create from a young age and now you get older and you realize that if you can focus that intention, you know, it, it's one of the most powerful things that I've learned about. Okay. I like that too. So this next segment of the show I like to call the unplug truth, right? And so we're going to talk a little bit about your passionate and what you do here, but also what sparks it. Like, we had a really, really deep conversation earlier. And he talked about how woodworking became like this almost mental necessity, right? And I think a lot of times with men, like, we don't truly understand the importance of mental health, right?
07:57 Right. And the escape that's needed because we feel like there's so much on our plate, we always have to be tough. And it wasn't until I got to understand the power of focusing on my mental health. right, that I became free her. Tell us about that for you and how focusing on your mental health made you, and these are my subject, right, but made you a better person, a better leader, a better husband, a better father. Like, how did that help you? I just think there's a part to being like an adult male that is just, you know, you grind,
08:37 doubt you figure it out, you do what you have to do. But whether you have kids or, you know, you're married or even if you're single, like there's a point when you realize that there's something going on up here that I can't quite put my finger on. The world doesn't necessarily give you the best guidebook to figuring that out. So being able to do woodworking, stepping away from, you know, what you do on a day today thinking about, oh, these bills or these kids or my relationship, I'm like, I need to cut this piece of wood, you know? And then I'll be in the garage for hours. And, you know, I've had a
09:18 therapist telling me there is something therapeutic about working with your hands. And it's, it's something that I can't even quantify or, you know, put it into words how helpful it is. Yeah. It's a release, you know, even like I said before, like taking something that's in your head, making it happening in real, real life, it's, there's, there's a blessing to it that you're like, oh, I, I can do what I said on. Yeah. So I think that's, that's one of the biggest things. It's like, oh, if I want to make more money or I want to improve my relationship,
09:55 whatever it is, it's like, that's all good and well, what it's a thought. But it's like I said, the intent plus the action. Yeah. That's where the creation happens. So understanding that if I'm going to go build something, if I want to build a better relationship with my wife, it's not just thinking we need to connect more. It's what do we have to do in the physical?
10:15 So it kind of goes between worlds, you know, between, oh, yeah, it's just woodworking, but those same principles apply throughout the whole life. So why in this? Why was this the thing? Because you told me you never done anything before, right? with Wood, what made this become the thing?
10:36 And by the way, right now, there's a link to your Instagram. So you can see a lot of the amazing product. So if you're watching, like click right here and then come back to the video. Definitely come back to the video. Why this, bro? So I am a client-relation manager for Middle West Spirits, a big up-and-coming spirits brand in the industry. and there were three barrels sitting in the warehouse that I was like,
11:07 oh, I could try to make a tablet, you know? So I did it. I brought the barrel home. And I know it sounds cheesy. I tell the story all the time. But go to Walmart, buy hyper tough tools, spend $300, you know, just the initial investment, just trying to learn a new skill. And I did the first barrel.
11:30 And I was like, this is actually cool. you know, like the door was kind of weird. It didn't line up perfectly. Right. But it was, it was a proud moment. Oh, you know, like, I made that. And we ended up selling that first barrel for 400 bucks. Wow.
11:47 So initial investment, repooked plus a little money. Right after that, my wife lived, her grandmother, who watched our kids, hurt her hip, pop your mom out of place. So she had to go and be a stay-at-home mom again. So four kids, stay-at-home mom, what are we going to do? Right. You know, everything's expensive.
12:12 So I was like, okay, if I can turn one small barrel into some money, like how do I capitalize on that? So the wife has taken on a lot of social media responsibilities and, you know, dealing with the kids. And I've been, you know, the garage guide, just in the garage, hammering these out. but it came out of necessity because we're like, we have bills to pay. And I've always been a big person where you can sit there and complain about something
12:43 or you can figure it out. And this was a figure it out thing, you know, and it's been really good for us, even being on this podcast. You know, I appreciate you, but it came from this. You know, it came from that necessity of me and the wife, time for the Payson Billers. I get it. Well, again, I'm going to keep giving you your flowers and you and your kudos, man,
13:06 because it was you. Like, yeah, the brand was awesome, but I connect with people, right? Like, everything I do is about the people, the person, the leader behind all the brands that I stand beside. And so big kudos here. You see me if you watch and I keep just saying, like, this is so beautiful. I can't believe that this is like here in my little. little lounge. Like,
13:31 it completes the lounge, like, you're freaking amazing. I appreciate you. It does fit really well. Right.
13:38 It's perfect. Ties it together. It does side together. This next segment, I call hot takes. Okay. I call hot takes. Oh.
13:49 Here's a really interesting hot take. And I'm going to need to take a set. My hot take is never judge a book by its cover. Daniel, you stare at me, brother. That's what I'm here for. Let me take this stuff first. Daniel told me that he was biration.
14:16 Never judge a bookwise coming. And I was like, I don't believe me. You got to say, I said, wait, by racial, there's a lot of races. He goes north. My dad's black. I was like, wait a safe. So I throw some music. And Daniel had a rhythm.
14:32 It's a real thing. It is a real thing. Daniel can pop walk, break dance, spin on his head. That's the second video. That's in November. So here's my hot take. Because I have biracial children, right? Like, talk about growing up as a biracial child, where you grew up.
14:58 Like, talk about that. So I grew up in, like, the Apprenton area. Yeah. So pro football, All of Fame. It's an interesting little town, but, you know, growing up, my dad wasn't around. So it was, I was raised by my mom, by my grandma. But I got to see certain things that a lot of people don't understand. Yeah. Being by Rachel, you get a nice middle ground, you know, it's not as polarizing on one side for me.
15:32 So I remember growing up that, you know, my grandparents, like my mom's grandparents, when she found out that my mom was pregnant and my dad is black, she's like, you're not allowed on abs. So that was, you know, my mom's introduction to having kids. She was 18 when my sister was born. But growing up, I would have never known that, unless I mom would have told me. Like my great grandparents were super loving, super caring. So, you know, early on I got to see that there's tensions. You know, a lot of people like to pretend like there's not tensions or, you know, that's in the past. But I can remember being I was 11 and my uncle was arguing with my mom, you know, he's like, you end lover, blah, blah, blah. And I'm just like, oh, wow, like this is family.
16:30 You know, this isn't just a random down the street. And then just my whole life, like when COVID happened, a lot of Black Lives Matter protests and, you know, get-togethers were happening. I posted something on Facebook, just giving my opinion, you know, like we just need to come together, da-da-da-da-da. And I remember one of my buddies's black guy from Camp, he's like, Dan, I appreciate you saying what you said,
16:56 but I don't think you're black enough to talk about these types of things. Wow. And like I said, it's giving me an interesting perspective because Juneteen was just yesterday. And a lot of people like to talk about things like, these aren't issues anymore. It's, it's whatever. But, you know, I can tell you, it's, it's just as prevalent now as, you know, I would say it's, it's ever been. It's just under the surface. And like I said, I've gotten a unique perspective because I had girlfriends who were like,
17:29 her mom's like, oh, she bimes out on half black, and she's like, he's not allowed in my house. And if you're dating him, you're not allowed my house either. So it creates this weird tension, but I think it's allowed me to become who I am. Yeah. You know, just understanding that, you know, it's not all sunshines and rainbows, but no matter what, no matter what situation you're in, like, you have to push through, keep creating, keep staying positive. So wholeheartedly. And that's something that me, in all of my friends, like my circle.
18:01 It's almost like, you can't be in my circle unless you are willing to openly talk about race and society and classes and all that because it is still very, very prevalent. I would say it's not even as hidden as much as it was, like in the 40s, 50s, and 60s, right? Like, I think now there's clues that are more available than they were.
18:25 And I don't even just mean, like, white-owned black racism or black. black on white, there's racism in general, there's fascism in general. And so I'm going to challenge everybody, if you're watching this, like, just have discussions, right? Because it's all about people and what you're going to realize is that regardless of race, regardless of gender, you have more in common with human beings than you actually realize. And so I think a lot of times we have these stigmas or we have these ways that we were raised. And so we have beliefs that we really don't want to believe in, but we do it. And then I think a lot of times that also, when you're with
19:02 a certain group of friends, because they feel this way, and then you're going to feel this way. Because they like this, then you're going to like this. And I don't even let me erase that. I just think in general. But I want to challenge everybody to be who you are. Right. Like, be yourself, have your own beliefs, but get to know others, get to know other genders, get to know other races, get to know other classes of people, get to know other cultures. Because if we're ever going to take Steps forward, there has to be action when I know like you were starting. You ever open the fridge and think, what's for dinner? After a full day, that decision ought to be easy.

21:31 Qualifying direct deposits required. Terms and limits apply. Go to chime.com slash disclosures for detail. Yeah, I think another thing that I experienced, this was probably 12 years ago. I was living in downtown can, me and my buddy, Mass, we would walk to a local coffee shop right at the street. I remember that owner, his name was Tom, and I had dreadlocks at the time. I know you can't picture it. No. Right now. I know.
21:58 I need you have pictures. Oh, look and pull up receipts from the Facebook. So really quick. This is Daniel with drinks. This guy. Wow. Okay. So I would go in there and we would talk to Tom, the coffee shop owner.
22:15 And he's like, man, you got a lot of really good ideas. I'm like, thanks. He's like, you're never going to be taken seriously with your hair like that. And I was like, Oh. And it's, I mean, it's a thing. You know, me as a mixed person, it's, I don't necessarily have to think about it as much. But the fact that, you know, the coffee shop owner was a white guy. He knew people at city council at the street that he was friends with. And he's like, if you want your ideas taken seriously, he's like, you got a country area. So I'm like, that's just, like I said, a lot of people don't talk about it. They don't have those conversations. But that was 10 years ago. You know, it wasn't that long ago. It wasn't that long ago. And those are conversations that happen. They're like, oh, this guy has some really good ideas, but he's got drug locks. Right.
23:01 And it's like, how do we get rid of that? But it should just be this guy has to be the good ideas. Exactly. Exactly. And again, I believe, I want to believe we're going to get there. I think we're slowly starting to get to places that we haven't been in a while before. And so speaking of those conversations, this next segment I like to call the room, And knowing what you do now and the history that you've had with Steelers, was there ever a room, a conversation, a moment, a dinner, a breakfast that might change your life?
23:40 Right. Like, I can always go back to the very first room I was in with Damon John and it completely created who I am today. Like, that room gave me the vision because I couldn't see certain things. I knew I was on a good path, but I couldn't see like step 15. Right. Right. Was there a room, a moment, a conversation of Lodz, then, or that changed your life? Yeah.
24:08 So I was in restaurants. I managed restaurants for like seven years. Ended up at the restaurant for Middle West spirits called Service Bar. And I'd work there for a couple weeks. I had a meeting with the COO of Middle West as a whole. and we sat down and said, hey man, how are things going? Yeah.
24:28 I'm like, dude, I love this company. Like, I love the mission. You know, I love the people I work with. But I was like, X, Y, and Z. These are the things that I see. These are the problem areas. Dada, da, da, da. And he's like, dude, he's like, I just got a lot of respect for you.
24:42 He's like, most people, especially new people, we have these conversations. They're like, oh, I love the job. Everything is great. Yeah. He's like, but you were just straightforward, honest and told me all the things that you saw. He's like, that's rare. in these types of settings. So I ended up building a really good relationship with the CLO of Midwest Stearitz.
25:02 And that led to me becoming a project manager at Midwest. So if you would look at my resume and you're just like, oh, that guy managed restaurants. You'd be like, that's not necessarily the career path, project manager, a client relations manager within a large company. Yeah. But that was the conversation where I gave respect. with the CLO. So when, you know, I was like, I can't do restaurants anymore. I have four kids. You know, the hours are crazy. He was like, you know, I'm going to recommend you for this position within Middle West spirit. So it, that moment showed me honesty building those relationships
25:39 opens up doors. Like you said, I don't see step 15. You know, I was at step one when I was in that room. Yeah. But inevitably, that led me to this conversation that we're having right now. So I love it. You ever open? in the fridge and think, what's for dinner? After a full day, that decision ought to be easy. That's where Butcher Box comes in. Butcher Box delivers 100% grass-fed beef, organic chicken, wild-caught seafood, and more, all sourced to standards they can actually tell you about.

27:57 Go to chime.com slash disclosures for detail. So talk about where you are now. And we talk about rooms and the rooms that opened up for you. Are you opening rooms and creating rooms and environments for others now? Have you got to that mentor stage of life? Yeah. So there's two kids. No kids, but they're like,
28:19 Good drinking bourbon? Yeah. Okay. They're like 24. Okay. Much Spanish. We're not talking 13 years. My bad.
28:27 But they worked for me in restaurants. They followed me to probably five different jobs. One of them, he's a manager in one of the last restaurants I worked at. You know, he's gone up. He just graduated college. The other one, he's, I think he's 22, but he just got like a really nice charger. You know, he's doing a lot better than I was doing a point. Okay. And I remember I had a moment where Harley, the one kid,
28:54 messaged me pictures of him at his graduation. And, you know, I taught them through many scenarios in life and, you know, the ups and downs. But he sent me this picture, you know, made me tear up because he was like, hey, man, none of this would have been possible without him. He's like, I appreciate you always having my back and always pushing me. And it's just those little things, those little moments where they accumulate,
29:19 you don't even notice them at the time. And then you get a text message where he's like, hey, man, like, I just graduated college. This wouldn't have been possible without you. So, yeah, yeah, it's very gratifying. But I said a lot of times in those moments, you don't even realize them until it accumulates and you get that one text message. So it's awesome.
29:41 That's what's so. All right. So the closing segment of the show, the unplug five. It's rapid fire five questions. but we're going to do something different. I'm going to do the rapid fire top five first. But then I think we should go back and forth
29:58 on our top five bourbons. Because bourbon is what matters. Right, right. But your quick fire, rapid fire, ready? Yes. It's just you only. I wait, only at Bergen.
30:08 Yeah, because the first one, you know, we have a live audience in here today. So this first question. I'm ready. Better cook, you're a wife. Ooh, we had this conversation like three weeks ago. I'm going to say me.
30:23 Ooh. I'm just because I did it as a job. You should see her glare right now. It was, I worked in kitchens for so long, and I managed restaurants for seven years. I'm going to catch a keet, oh, okay. I don't feel it. But I will say me. All right.
30:43 So then question two, what's the best dish that you cook? Chicken wings. Okay. Some fried chicken wings, breaded. No, she's saying everybody can do that. She's saying she would call Domino's before she has your arms. We'll go with duck with an orange sauce. Oh, Zuck Morrowing.
31:05 No, she hasn't done that one. Okay. So then if wife is the number two cook in the household, what's the best thing she cooks? Pasta. Oh, okay. I mean Alfredo from scratch. pool. That's the good stuff.
31:23 Okay. Okay. It's been a long day of work. You got to come home and you can only pour one glass of this, your bird. What are you born? Oh. I'm going to go with.
31:39 This is a shout out to one of my good friends. Archer Eelon, she produces a rye whiskey. And it's phenomenal. Okay. So it's one of my go-toes. I would definitely say. If you get a chance to check out Archer, Elon Whiskey, it's fantastic.
31:54 I think we have a bottle over here. Okay, quick, we can. Now I'm not a Rye guy, but there's somebody in the building that loves Rye, so he can be the first. Okay. This one might change the line. Everybody's trying. Everybody's try. I just didn't get down. All right. So, last question before we
32:12 start ranking our purpose. As the story of Daniel Netherson's being told, what's one word you want to make sure defines your legacy? I would say creativity. That's the first. I think it's heavily underrated.
32:32 I think like we talked about earlier and it's been one of the things that's ran through my mind the last three weeks. That intent plus action equals creation. So I really think if I'm going to make my mark on this world, leave an imprint, creativity is at the top. I love that. I love that. Well, bro, I'm glad that you were here.
32:56 Why I just stopped by? This is amazing, but we promise the people that we're going to start making some visit. So I think, do we want to go from five to one or do we want to go top to five? And this is going to be yours. I'm going to do mine. And I'm going to do it ones that people can go by. Right. like without breaking the law.
33:21 So I want the listeners be able to say, okay, let me go try what they're saying. Now, I know that you've got some exclusives. If you want to throw exclusives in there, that's, I'll do.
33:31 We can start from, we'll go five in one. Right, five one more. I like that. Let's go. I'll say, yeah,
33:37 I'll go, uh, number five. I can't just do bourbon. I'm a rye guy. You're good. My, my number five,
33:44 I just finished this ball at home, Jack Daniels, rye. Sable barrel. Really? Yeah. Okay. It's not for the faint of hearts at 1.30.
33:56 Okay. All right. So my number five, if you're a casual, this is probably in your talk to. But it's my number five, and you can go get it. If you like to go to a restaurant, so you sometimes will have it. But double oak wicker would be my number five.
34:17 You can go get that. Almost seen. I would suggest, have you ever been to Woodford Distillery? Mm-hmm. It's amazing. Right. So, uh, all right. Number four, number four, I'm going to lean rye again.
34:32 Ooh. I can't help it. I'm going to go with Angels and me, run and finish rye. Okay. It's fantastic. Okay. So my number four, again, you can get this low pricing, but you can get it. is a 10-year whistle pig, which is a rye.
34:55 Yep. It's a rye. So I'm going to give you that one, but it sips more like a burm. So it's out of the heart. And I do like it on a glass of ice or a glass of ice, but let it sit for like five minutes. That one's like 51% rye. Yeah. That's why it's in your wheelhouse.
35:10 Right. Exactly. I'm a baby rye guy. Baby rye. I can appreciate that. I'll go with E.H. Taylor at number three. Okay. Got it.
35:21 Yes, sir. So, because you can get this one, they connected us. Right. Right. Full right bourbon. Full right bourbon, the origin, the first release. The 122?
35:38 Yeah. It's really good. The 122 is by number three. Really, really good. Link is in the descriptions. You got to order it online and get there quick. You're going to love it. Actually.
35:50 That's what I'm sitting on right here. All right. I'm going to move into two. This is just going to show you how simple I am in the bourbon world. Makers 46 will be my number two. It's a French oak stave finished. No? It's fantastic.
36:09 It's good every time. Number two? Yeah. It's like... You would have said 22. No shot at makers. Shotted makers. No shot at Mason.
36:19 Love makeup, shot in age. I'm not catching the heat with you on that one. Well, okay, they probably sponsor. I know, I got some. No, no, but Maitors is a brand and freaking phenomenal, I will say that. And I can joke because, 46, it would have been my eight. Okay. They would have been in my touch.
36:38 It's consistent. I think that's a big thing with me. It's the consistency. And if I'm talking like a $40 bottle that's going to be good every time, we're going with 46. You know, my challenge is. I just takes me from every to open a bottle. Oh, man.
36:53 I need a two knives. Not me. It's a rip it all. All right. So my number two used to be my favorite bourbon. And it's what I would say when I first started drinking bourbon, it was the only thing I can drink. It was the only thing that I would like. And that is Jefferson's Oceans, H-S-C.
37:14 It's something about the mellowness. It's something about just the depth. And if you are new to Bourbon, I will tell you I would start with that one, because it's going to let you appreciate everything that's a little bit stronger than it. It'll let you appreciate things that are a little bit softer. Jefferson's Oceans, I always have five bottle than I'm. Okay. That's what I'm saying. Yes.
37:41 Because if you come to my house, you are going to have Jeffers. He forces you to drink Jefferson. It's not a force. It's not a force. It is delicious. Yes. I'll go with my number one. Okay.
37:52 I'm not just saying this because I work there. Oh, Middle West Spirits, Dark Pumper Nickel Rye. It is fantastic. Sounds like breakfast. It could be. Next time I come over, I'll bring some dark Pumpernacle breakfast, Rye. Okay.
38:13 Again, I know someone here who will appreciate it. You can open it. I'll smith the cord. We'll get you. Yeah, we'll get you right. My number one is probably the bottle I turn everyone on. It is the distillery that I love the most. I even had a fire long time ago.
38:35 Yellowstone. Yellow stall, and you could give me any of Yellowstone. Really? That's how much I love Yellowstone. But you can go to your local down here in the South ABC store, fixed store wherever you're at. I know you might be in California or wherever, and you can just get it in CVS while you want.
38:54 But Yellowstone, the $40 bottle of Yellowstone is amazing. The $80 bottle of Yellowstone, Tulestown, is amazing. The $1981, $2,000 bottle of Yellowstone is amazing. Yellowstone, Yellowstone, Yellowstone. I'm not talking about the ranch. I'm talking about the park. I'm going to give an honorary mention.
39:16 Let me, let's get out. It's fantastic. Redwood Empire. So they put out really good. I don't know if mention number one or? That's just it. That's the only one. That's the only I would mention.
39:28 But like where? Like that would be sick. It was six. Redwood Empire, the Rye is fantastic. Really? Yeah. So I took into the, I said top five. So I'm not giving an honorable mention.
39:40 I just have to. It was like necessary. It can't be like, I hate when people do that with Mount Russian. It's four. Don't give me the baby. No, that's like a smaller stash. statue. No.
39:51 Dan, I appreciate you. Where can people find and follow you? So social media, Facebook, Instagram, C-Bus barrels.
40:00 If anybody has any questions, we do completely customized bills. So, C-1-1-S, yes, C-Bus barrels.
