The ZM Podcast Network. Fleshwood and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod. Thanks to McCafe. Great things are brewing, one cup at a time. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Hello everybody. Hello. I've got a new life goal now,

and it's to own a barrel of whiskey. This looks so cool on your social media. I was just like I've driven past it a few times The last couple of winters we've been lucky enough To go to Queenstown Wanaka And every time we go up Cardies We drive past the Cadrona Distillery

Yes Yeah that was my second time, it's beautiful It's such a beautiful spot And then Joe was working there. Bless you. Excuse me. Gesundheit.

Guten Tag. Guten Tag, Gesundheit. So Joe was there and he's like, let me show you guys around. And it was so rad. Had a little tasting too, didn't we? Yeah, a little tasty tasting. They do a great gin. You were lapping out your hands like by the Oliver Twist.

So we went into where they keep the barrels, and they call it walking the dog. They put this brass, is it brass? Some kind of metal. Copper. And they put down a- Copper. It looks like a big bullet. It looks like a big bullet with a chain on the top.

Yeah. And he said it's walking the dog. I said, excuse me. Jesus Christ. That's not right. What are you choking on your breakfast? It was chunky porridge, Bert. Jesus Christ. That's not right. What are you choking on your breakfast? It was chunky porridge, Bert. I apologise.

Yeah, I mean, you've got probably likely to shit yourself now. She sneezed and I burped. Oh, no. Why do I get the bad ones? All of the expulsions. Why do I get the bad ones? So, yeah, it's on a chain and you take the cork out of the top of the cask and dip it in and then, yeah, because he's like, I might pour it in the glasses.

But, yeah, yeah. It was an old Pinot Noir barrel. Oh, because that flavors it, eh? Yes. And then so the whiskey that he was pulling out was actually 60% proof. No, no, no, 66% alcohol. Oh. It was even higher proof.

Yes. Oh, really? Spray off. It burned. It was like, so he i've had a bottle of that yeah a mate of mine got it got me a bottle of the cardi's whiskey for my 40th and it's and you got me one as well no you got me one when you were down there it's beautiful yeah and but they are like you have to drink though it's good for me because it makes me drink it slower but i'm getting more booze at a slower pace like it literally half of it

evaporated in my hand and then when i sucked it up it was just like the angel sharing the devil's cut yeah but it was actually really nice because it was fine and i don't i'm not i hate whiskey but it was actually quite nice it was just so cool and then all these people they display the barrels people have purchased and they write their names on them when they come up with like a name for them so you buy the barrels and they leave them there for like 10 or whatever years and they're worth like I think $18,000 a barrel. $18,000 was the cheap

barrel. $21,000 the expensive barrel is $46,000. I was just in my head I was like you know like I got an engagement ring and when we get married Aaron doesn't really get anything I should get him a barrel. Fuck off. No way. Like ridiculous money eh oh i was like i want i want one so bad and then we were we were with a mate uh in queenstown that we caught up with

and he said his family uh his dad and friends have got one they all say you go in and everyone puts in like a thousand so i think but't have one. Then, so you get about 200 bottles. Yeah, because after evaporation. If there's more than any, like four of you, you're not getting like a good reserve. Because I'm imagining from there, you give them to people on like super special occasions, like their wedding. Yeah, 21st. From the Smith's Reserve. Yes.

Oh, I really want one. I really want one too. And you can go visit it. And when you own one, you're allowed to go visit it anytime you want. And you can just sit in the room and smell all that ethanol. And there's a fungus that only grows in ethanol-rich areas. And they're sitting to get the fungus on the building. I should have invited you in for my barrel of long white raspberry.

Yeah. When it hits 10 years, oh, it's beautiful. It's not maturing very well. So 18,000 is the cheapest. Is that what you said? Yeah. Well, if we each put in six, we could have the Fletch, Fawn and Hayley barrel. That's so much.

What else do you have to spend money on? We're going to need to do a GoFundMe. Please help us. We really want a barrel. Also, I don't like whiskey. I'm not doing this. It's too much money. It's an experience because we don't have to travel down to Queenstown together. But then I'd have to drink it.

And Aaron would help. Aaron would help. Yeah. And I don't mind a whiskey. It's pretty booge. Apparently, one lady bought her like newborn baby one that he can have on his 21st. See, that is beautiful. Isn't that insane?

He's going to be pissed. Yeah, but what if he grows up and he's either like a recovering alcoholic and then now you're fucked up. Or he's a teetotaler, straight edge. Or he's just like, that's my big loser. Mom, I just want a box of Powells because I'm trash. He just wants some like Cody's. We were going to – Morgan, our friend, somatic sexologist

and co-host of your podcast, Sex Life, had never heard the term teetotaler before. Oh. And then I was like, oh, I don't know why. What does it mean? It means that you're on the tees? I always thought of it because your total thing is tea. Or through the word teetotal, the point where.

No, but when you say T minus something seconds, T minus 10 seconds, what is a T? Time. Time. It stands for time. T minus. Time minus. No, it's takeoff.

Yeah. What is it? Takeoff and T minus- I don't know. I don't know either. Launch and T minus- Well, yeah. Why do I have to read a novel to get a fucking answer around here?

Teetotaler has nothing to do with tea. Oh, okay. What does it mean? It's a reduplicative form of the word totaler. Boring. In the 19th century, people used to say teetotally as a way of emphasizing totally. Which just sounds like a stutter. Totally.

Yeah. You're trouble with a capital T. But what does that have to do with not drinking? T-Totaler. You would be- You're totally alcohol free. Totally off the booze. So it was like somebody was trying to like use, it would be like no cap.

And somebody, like the government starts using no cap to promote no vapes. They could do that. They could be like no vape. Right. Like no cap. No cap. And make it uncool. no vape right like no cap no cap and make it uncool this vape ain't bussin

it ain't bussin that's a shame yeah and then the language changes but bussin's always like comically attached to vapes wow

paps paps paps paps paps paps has a totally different connotation for me yeah

paps yeah every second year yeah well that's gonna be on top of those sorts of things. That's what I do when I walk into my doctor's. Flaps up for the paps up, babe. And he's like, I really wish you'd stop doing that.

It's quite uncomfortable. And I'm also not your doctor. Ma'am, this is a Zed service station. Paps up, flaps up.
