• Arsenic Culture • Season 4 • Episode 158

Share episode

We’re closing out 2025 with the first-ever Arsenic Culture Awards. Matt, Jason, and Drew kick things off with a round of Drinko, it's Plinko, but with terrible drinking consequences, before breaking down the best, worst, and most baffling things we covered all year.

From best bourbon and favorite stories to the dreaded “Why Does This Exist?” award, we nominate, debate, and vote on the moments that defined Arsenic Culture in 2025. We wrap it all up by recognizing the community with our Greatest Fan Award and shouting out one of the people who helped keep this show alive all year.

Thanks for riding with us through another year!

Jason:

kind of did this a little bit. Once.

Drew:

Once.

Jason:

we, did it, we did it once Yeah. we did a recap. Right. Mm-hmm. Well I wanted to

Drew:

it a little bit more

Jason:

formal. I want to revisit our gear year, in review, Yep. There's trash came down there. I AC award, the AIC culture award. Yeah. I want to, sorry, I'm having trouble breathing from that.

Matt:

fucking Lord.

Drew:

I want, I dunno why

Jason:

just poured you like seven ounces. It's fine. The best stuff that we did, some

Drew:

of the worst stuff that we did, some of

Jason:

the highlights, some of the low

Drew:

lights and I.

Jason:

it'd be fun to kind of. Given a quote unquote AC award, even though we don't have a trophy or

Drew:

anything to offer,

Jason:

it's gonna be fun to recognize We you my ball of a Lord. Yes. Somebody please take that. I, I, can't even look at this

Drew:

right now. Anyways,

Jason:

so starting out, while Drew's pouring us some champagne, um, I thought we'd get our easy ones out of the way. Yeah, yeah. The stuff that is measured through actual metrics. Okay. The number one episode Okay. that we had and the number one quick shot.

Drew:

shot.

Jason:

Do you know what they are? Uh, number one episode was the Old Forester one, correct? Hands down. Yeah. Yeah. Like we, that was a big one. we've been doing this for a few years. Yeah. We love doing this. We're obviously not, you know, a million sub channels, so we just do this because this is a fun thing to do.

Drew:

So our videos, you know, they get a few hundred

Jason:

views or whatever. That one jumped up to, like almost 9,000 Yeah. Correct, correct. I think 85 or something like that, which is

Drew:

kind of cool. But.

Matt:

Up

Jason:

Some reason the algorithm picked up and people thought it was really interesting. The Old Forester episode, um, aired on, uh, May 14th. Okay. And tell us what it was about. So it was about a bottle we bought from New York, a store in New York that said this was like an extra aged old Forester single Barrel. But then it comes to find out it wasn't at all. no, and they knew it. They went on to pick themselves, the people there, and they misled people. They said it was unintentionally, but. You Had to know it. Yeah. So that was, I think that's that was the gist of it. The crux of the episode was did they know it or not? And it was going crazy on secondary. Like those balls are going five, 600 plus 'cause everybody was wanting it. It would've been a birthday bourbon caliber, you know, their top tier stuff. President's choice. and, uh, Yeah. a lot that was that was a fun one. Um,

Drew:

so our most, most popular

Jason:

episode goes to,

Drew:

we got scammed.

Jason:

On May 14th.

Matt:

Um, so

Drew:

Yay.

Matt:

out. He goes, yeah. Sweet.

Drew:

Uh, but yeah, she out. You,

Jason:

episode out if you haven't seen

Drew:

it was actually a fun watch. Um, our most popular quit shot.

Jason:

you all know what it was? Was it the caramel one? The

Drew:

crown?

Jason:

Royal? Yeah. Crown roll. Yeah. Yeah. you remember that

Drew:

one? Yeah. It was, uh, salted caramel

Jason:

Crown and Bush Light after. That's a good one, Which, um, the drink together was actually pretty good Mm-hmm. Crushable.

Drew:

Um, but that was on July.

Matt:

was it June, July?

Jason:

That was July

Drew:

20th.

Jason:

Um, I can't remember how many, views that one got, but that was, uh, that was actually really fun. So I guess we need to do more. Yeah. Beers mixed with

Drew:

things. Yeah.

Jason:

Which we've got some more mixed ones up there somewhere. The little packets, I think I sent'em home with you From liquor Barn. The shots. Oh yeah. The shots or whatever. Yep. What the deal sometimes. So,

Drew:

We can mix some beer with Mallor too, and that'd be, you can't even, you

Jason:

mentioned the word mall. This, this champagne is Fantastic. Thank you Drew for helping us get the mallor off our pallets. yeah. What is, what is this brute Rose? from? Chong. Shandong,

Matt:

Shandong.

Drew:

Yeah. My brother Graham hooked. Hooked us

Jason:

Thanks, Graham. again, not your,

Drew:

Not, no, definitely not him.

Jason:

alright. Getting into the nominations, The actual, uh, the subjective ones. Um,

Drew:

first one,

Jason:

we do a lot of bourbon on this. We do. We, do, we do a lot of spirits too. We do a little bit of everything, but, uh, I think bourbon and beer are our forte. Mm-hmm. best bourbon But

Drew:

the 25.

Jason:

What do y'all think? I got a few nominations. You want me to go first? So my number one, gotta go last.

Drew:

So, yeah,

Jason:

my number one, which I did not bring. Is the Eagle rarer the Canner Bottled 1980, but my close number two, was wild Turkey Masters Keep Beacon, which I did bring, yes, you did bring So this is one I'm gonna nominate.

Matt:

No.

Drew:

Okay. Okay.

Jason:

I, I said like nominate. I didn't mean you had to

Drew:

bring everything.

Jason:

I'm nominated. I'm nominated. I'm, I'm bringing it. We're nominated. I didn't bring the Wild Turkey. or the Eagle Air. Yeah, Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. So I need take that home. No, it's just, I win. It's, we're nominating it. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Um, so my number one was the eagle rare through cancer That's a great one. Um, my number two is, uh, and this wasn't pure taste. This was experience. I think I know where you're going. That age. Hers, that's, That's on my list. Yeah. I thought that was Yeah. you unfortunately weren't

Drew:

Yeah, but Pat's a good friend

Jason:

yours too, so maybe

Drew:

they'll let you.

Jason:

in there. I dunno. Doing he'll.

Drew:

Uh,

Jason:

that was a really fun

Drew:

experience to, um,

Jason:

travel back in time and taste the. Unicorn of unicorns. You know what I mean? Yeah. And it was a fantastic bourbon. Um, and honestly, we had some bourbons off the episode that were fantastic. too. Micers, the Micers 10 Eyes that were like 2013. What was the, uh, he did

Drew:

a barrel picture. One a

Jason:

Oh, we had, dude, we Had tons of stuff. I can't remember. I can't remember. Fantastic time. over there. So the ah, Hirsch, uh, episode, uh, aired on April 25th So check that out. episode one 11, is what number? that one. was a hundred. 111. Yep. So if you wanna see what, an actual unicorn looks like in a body chicken one. And then the decanter that we did. the eagle ray decanter was

Matt:

from, uh. Okay,

Jason:

episode 1 47. Yep. October 10th. Yep.

Drew:

Yep. Yeah. What about, what about you, you guys? Same for me. The, that eagle rare decanter was incredible. Um, and I, I think this is probably a second for

Jason:

this was probably my bourbon of the year this year. If you if you take bourbon's release this year. right? So I looked at it two different ways. But that Eagle rarer was just so special. Like it, it just, that's crazy. It is actually fantastic. Oh yeah. The only reason I didn't put in my nomination is because I knew yeah, there you go. So I knew it would be on there anyway, so Um, I did have an I did have an honorable mention. Okay, go For Russell's Reserve 13-year-old. I thought that was, really good. I considered that because we actually tried it. a few times. we did that, was the one episode we had in was episode 1 27, the bottle chasers and while we collect, but booze, we never open or never drink. So, yeah, was a good,

Matt:

one. That was a good one.

Jason:

so what were doing, what's the next thing? Vote? Uh, yeah, so

Drew:

I'd say how do we, how do we vote?

Jason:

Well, we got, we got two episodes nominated, essentially. So we're gonna do Ah, Hirsch. Yeah. And then we can say the Eagle or air combined with this one. Same episode. This is a quick shot too. but Yeah. Ah, but we gotta pick, we gotta pick one Pick a bottle. What's our best product? Okay. it's either Eagle ray to Candor Beacon, or a HH. Okay. What's your vote? I'm gonna go Eagle. Raider. Familiar. Rare.

Drew:

Jason:

Jason:

where you pull the cork at and you're like. I think gonna come out whole. and it was completely

Drew:

intense. Well, and they had like waxed the cork really Well. I mean, it, it, it was special. So that was really neat. All right,

Okay. So that episode was back in January Mm-hmm. 31st, and I think we tried it with Brandon and Justin. Okay. in their, in their cellar. Yeah. Where they were aging, all the barrels and stuff. Um, and then the, uh, I forgot the, the Green River rides high. episode. Was I just quick shot September 7th?

Matt:

Yeah, it was a quick shot. So,

Jason:

Um, yeah, the Koji whiskey was my number two and then the Green River rye tide. Okay. Was my number. What'd you have Drew? Any

Drew:

Jason:

I was getting ready to say. the dark horse. I didn't think about it. general

Drew:

I have it on her

Jason:

that, That should be one too.

Drew:

thing. Yeah. And then the other one, I know it's like top whatever, but I thought the amaros, like I was really opened up to Amaros

Jason:

one you brought was great too. Yeah. Are you talking about, so we did, um, and you, you had to

Drew:

the elevator. Yeah. Great. We have on the show, maybe we should,

Jason:

I thought we did. we did the, uh, Scarlet, which was the Japanese and or Japanese maid

Drew:

tomorrow. Yeah. And we did the uh,

Jason:

uh, song May, which was a

Drew:

Vietnamese. Yeah. Which is really smoky. That's Scarlet's amazing. Yeah. So I don't know. I think I'll, I'll go with the Amaro episode. Okay. Um, 'cause it kind of covers all those bases. um. but that's not something that I was really aware of before. Yeah. And I mean, that Scarlet blew me away. And then being now exposed to like the seed, the elephant, and some of these other ones, it's um, it's really kinda expanded my horizons. Okay.

Jason:

vote Best

Drew:

a different category, so,

best

Drew:

No. You know?

Drew:

of, and we'll

Jason:

do an episode

Drew:

where we just,

Jason:

Um, I actually consider that Yeah. and it's definitely up there. But these chips

All righty. Next category. Um, favorite story Okay. In year. We did a lot of, uh, backs, stories on a lot of different products, We do a lot of different people. Um, what was, did I go first line? I think it's your term. Okay. No, it's my term. Okay. Go ahead. What was your favorite story?

Drew:

I got a,

Jason:

I got a number one and a number two. I got number one, number two. So my number one is gonna be, um. The greatest wine scam ever. The Rudy Kerney one. Kerney one episode one 14. that that back on. uh,

Drew:

on.

Matt:

of May

Jason:

16th. Okay. My number two is The Murder Solved by Beer. Can Episode one 17. I enjoyed that story. That was a Kendra over here. Yeah, that's my, That's my top, two. that's my top two. That was really good. That was really good. My number one was actually the story of George Remus.

Drew:

The oyster guy? Uh

Jason:

huh. No, no, he was, the, he was, the, no, no. Oyster guy was, uh, oyster guy was probably that's a good one too. That's a good one too. Oyster

Drew:

guy. Yeah, oyster guy was the top five. But, uh, who's Remus? George Remus. Reuss

Jason:

Bourbon. the Bootlegger.

Drew:

Oh yeah. yeah. That was, uh,

Jason:

June 27th. That story knocked my socks off. Proverbially. That was a good one. The, the more in depth I went in researching that, Mm-hmm. the more crazy, like, it just became like,

Drew:

I

Jason:

know he's been in, um, what's the, what's the, the Great Gadsby's kind of base after? him A little bit. it is. But what's the TV show that he had? Like his character had a cameo. Um, Boardwalk Empire. Boardwalk Empire. Which I've never watched that show. I heard Yeah, it's good. I've watched it.

Drew:

It was good. Yeah. But, um, he had

Jason:

his character or his, yeah, his character had a cameo in that. But like, how has he not had well, he had a pretty big row Also, it's pretty cool that he's that close to us. Right. Like Cincinnati area up that way. Yeah. So, yeah, that was a good story. I, I actually kind of forgot, I didn't forget, but I, I didn't think about it and everything that he went through. Like that was absolutely insane. Yeah. Number two, and this was honestly like neck and neck was Rudy. Can, was Yeah. Like this. And this is modern day, not Robinhood. Definitely not Robinhood,

Drew:

but like this guy Ted.

Jason:

Millions of dollars. But Only from the ultra rich. From the ultra rich. Yeah. So a lot of people when he like got

Drew:

were like,

Jason:

who the fuck cares? Like, yeah. Let him go. Yeah. Uh, that was pretty insane. it was the links that he went through to like f with all these rich people. Uh, I mean, saying kudos to you. I'm definitely not. Yeah. Uh, I mean he's, he's still like engaged in illegal activity, but like, geez, dude, that guy, he went, he jumped through hoops and he made money.

Drew:

And then

Jason:

he rapidly lost it all

Matt:

real

Jason:

That

Drew:

was my number two. Yeah. Um, number one was the, was the oyster thief for whatever. Yeah. What was his name? Edward Dando. Yeah. Edward Dando. Yeah. Yeah. He was, um, we recorded that down at one of the houses. Yeah. He, um, I thought that story was just wild. Like this guy would, was sort of like a va, va a vagabond almost. He would wear like mismatched clothes all the time that he got from. Being incarcerated and he actually wore prison clothes. Yeah. And he would just go into another place and like, Hey, I'm gonna order as many oysters as you have. And he would eat like 15 dozen oysters and then skip out on the check again. And they just let him do it over and over

Jason:

It just made me think of wimpy like in Popeye, you know, I Want a hamburger today? I'll pay you next Tuesday or something. You know, The sheer volume of oysters that he ate on any visit. Was like, I think there was, I think he actually ate like four dozen or something at one point

Drew:

something. Oh, Five dozen something. Oh, it was way more

Jason:

yeah, I think It was more, It was, I mean, in regular

Drew:

food, it was in the hun Oysters. It was in the hundreds of oysters that he, that he ate in one sitting. Yeah. And then

Jason:

he would just get up and not pay, leave. Hell no. Yeah. And then the cops would chase him, That was, that was a good one. That was a good one.

Drew:

the night in jail, and get fed again, and get back out and do it all over.

Jason:

good. It's a tough decision.

Drew:

So

Jason:

So, I mean, so my,

Drew:

my, okay. The George

Jason:

Rema and the

Drew:

Rudy Klan

Jason:

were like right there. I'm probably gonna tip it to Rudy just because that it's so much more modern

Drew:

and

Jason:

I, he had like, there was a YouTube um, documentary done on him, which was actually pretty well done. It's pretty good. Yeah, pretty well done. I mean, that's what I'm going with. I love the story. I've seen a few times, but we had some good ones. We had some good ones this year. Yeah,

Drew:

I'll do the George Reis. It doesn't matter, but.

Jason:

Not unanimous. but still. Yeah. So,

Drew:

congratulations,

Jason:

Rudy. K He's real or something. Yeah. Maybe

Matt:

Cool.

Jason:

one 14 if you've not seen it. Yeah. Coolest story of the year. Yeah. That was what, what day was that? Uh, May 16th. May 16th.

Drew:

right. These ships don't suck either.

Jason:

I know. I keep talking. I can't eat any. But, uh, so the next award is why was this invented award? Mm.

Drew:

award? Is it gonna go to something that, um, I.

Jason:

Think we unanimously despised or don't know why it exists. This One's you first. All

Drew:

I might, I might pull a rabbit outta my hat on this one. I'm not, I'm not

Jason:

trying to be, um, alcohol. list. Mm-hmm.

Drew:

When I,

Jason:

do this. Okay.

Drew:

are you gonna say the same thing that I'm thinking? Probably, uh,

Jason:

my first one is Mic Ultra

Drew:

Zero. Oh, okay. I drank it. We

Jason:

did it. It was a quick shot on,

Drew:

um, uh,

Jason:

six three. So June 3rd. Yep. And we were over at the boy. Mm-hmm. With, um, skis. Skis, Yes. skis and, uh, Justin. Justin. Mm-hmm. Thank you. And I remember we drank it and it was awful. We were all just

Drew:

exact same reaction. We were

Jason:

like, yeah, what, why, why is this even a thing? Because I got this in a different category, but I'm with you. It tasted like shit. Yeah. It had no alcohol in it. It still had calories. Yeah, it was, it was drinking. It was like drinking calorie rich water.

Drew:

Yeah. It was so dumb. Like

Jason:

none of it makes sense to me. Should never be made. And that's exactly what I was think. Like why does this exist? Great. There are people like Mick Ultra, I think

Drew:

lots of them? and I we're friends with a lot of them. Yeah. And I

Jason:

still think they would drink that and be like, this

Drew:

a waste of time. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Like

Jason:

Like across the board. So that was my number one. My number two is another, an

Drew:

beverage. And

Jason:

I hate that I'm just bragging on non-alcoholic beverages because there are some good ones out there. Yeah, I love a good

Drew:

guness non-alcoholic. It's

Jason:

actually fantastic. Fucking Danny Trejo man? Like I love the guy. He's a badass. That tequila was the worst thing I've ever put in my mind. This is not coming from Jason. Danny Trejo. It's coming from Matt. I would never say that. Uh, that was not tequila. Mm-hmm. I don't know what that was. That

Drew:

like cucumber,

Jason:

sewer, wine. No comment. And It was,

Drew:

was,

Jason:

as he's playing the neutral

Drew:

it against Danny Trails,

Jason:

a list out Machete. Machete is coming for me. Oh my God.

Drew:

that was my, he gonna like Steve Buscemi like lipstick like across,

Matt:

Raw

Jason:

came

Drew:

yeah. Yeah.

Jason:

And I'm telling he is like, okay, we're good. We're good. What's So why was this invented? Uh, barrel age malort would be, uh, would be number one. That's alcohol. We're gonna go with another recent one. Uh, food. Okay. The Thanksgiving Oreos.

Drew:

my gosh. Oh, typically

Jason:

the Turkey and dressing. Yeah. My God, this was

Drew:

recent. Yeah. I missed

Jason:

You were very glad you missed that one.

Drew:

Yeah, I was sick that day.

Jason:

was awful. it was awful. Yeah. You were sick. Yeah. I, I, I didn't think about isolating that one Oreo, Yeah. but that was a good call. That was horrible. Half of them were good. like the apple pie stuff. but, but that one, and the corn was rough, but that one was awful. We Couldn't it was just awful. It was one of Yeah,

Matt:

things I've ever put in my mouth.

Jason:

that's my top two.

Drew:

Yeah. Uh, sorry Danny, but that, that imitation tequila, uh, was, I mean, I was just going back and thinking about all the episodes and I was like, why does this exist? And I was like, Hmm, yeah, that probably should not have ever been made. And again, I understand what they were going for. Like people want a replacement. But that is nowhere close to a replacement. Flavorwise, like nothing about that says tequila. And I will say in

Jason:

his defense, I'm, I'm like 99% sure he had no oh, it's too late, Matt, it's too late. You can't, You can't, know. I love you man, I'm not voting for that one. So if y'all vote for, it, go ahead. but I'm, not voting for that. I'm 99% sure he had no hand in making that because it was very, it was very marketing forward. You could like read a label and it's just

Drew:

they, they

Jason:

paid for his likeness.

Drew:

put his face on there.

Jason:

Put his name on there to any tre Ho to kill alternative, I guarantee

Drew:

he's never even tried it. He's, I

Jason:

don't, he doesn't drink,

Drew:

I don't think. I don't think so. Um,

Jason:

I love, I love Machete. I also love Tortuga, which is his name in, uh, breaking Bad. I do believe so. I'm not, I'm not bashing Dane Trail.

Drew:

My, runner up is the barrel age mallu, and I, I think I had blocked that out of

Jason:

kind of obvious. It's just the obvious one, right? Yeah. know it was funny? as The name of that episode was, why does this Yeah, he was, it was, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So I mean, I guess If if

Drew:

were going by like,

Jason:

you know,

Drew:

yeah, your happenstance. Maybe that should be number one. That's my, that's my runner up

Jason:

Alright. voted. I'll go last. No, you don't get

Drew:

voted. I'll go first. Go ahead, Danny. Tre ho. Not, not, not tequila. Uh, shoot. I

Jason:

don't know man. I think Danny had Tre ho guy.

Matt:

Got it out for me now.

Drew:

I

Jason:

would never vote for Danny. Tre Ho. So I'll go I I gotta,

Drew:

I

Jason:

gotta say, you brought it up and I didn't

Drew:

it Bob,

Matt:

isolating it,

Drew:

but

Jason:

Turkey and stuffing Oreo The worst

Drew:

I've ever about that bad. It, it was like almost, it was, it was

Jason:

borderline Cute. It was, uh, it was like, I think we talked about this like old oily or gravy tray dog food like a little water added there, like that smell that you've ever smelled in your life. It's, oh my god. like it was, That's mine. I'm, voting for that one. That should never been invented.

Drew:

Do you have any more of those? I can try it.

Jason:

we do at home. We do at home. I do at home

Drew:

Now you

Jason:

That's all you drew. That's all you

Drew:

and I'll wa I'll wash it down with my Lord.

Matt:

We'll do it. We'll do it.

Jason:

it'll be, It'll be an improvement. My Lord is actually gonna make it taste better. Yeah, it will. You put it together. It will. It's gonna be like ambros. like, Oh

Drew:

my God. I had no idea.

Matt:

is what

Jason:

Oh God. Alright, so it's gonna be the, the Oreo you're gonna be on that bandwagon, you try it, it's, crazy. Great. Congratulations Oreo for getting the AC award

Drew:

uh, the

Jason:

shittiest product we had on here. Yeah. Thank, uh, Thanksgiving, Turkey, and stuffing Oreo. Yeah. why was that invented? We don't know.

Matt:

God, they really should not have been.

Drew:

Hmm. Um, let's see. Glad I was absent that day. This should probably,

Jason:

I know this We're good. We got, we got two more. This should probably probably be a legal award. Um, I have a feeling I know what everybody's gonna say. I don't know. I got, I got a few. Okay. Um, I can go first, go first with this one. So my first one here is, uh, is something that's made up. It's not necessarily something you can buy, but, uh.

Drew:

uh, did we do it on the

Jason:

We did quick. shot, uh, Dirty pasta water martini. That was Matt's creation.

Drew:

I remember That

Jason:

That was the same

Drew:

day. It wasn't like

Jason:

creation. It was, that was the TikTok. That was a TikTok. That was popular on TikTok. That was the same day we did the Rudy Corn.

Drew:

Yeah.

Jason:

Corn, Whatever. But that, was, that was awful. That was awful. Oh God, that was really bad. Uh, number two in this one is Michelob Ultra. So I, I jumped in on that one. Okay. Um, and then number three, of course, obvious buck fast. right? Like, I mean, I got three, so but number one, uh, dirty pasta water martini. I mean, buckfast is my number one. It probably should be illegal. Mm-hmm. I didn't mind the taste of it. No, but I mean, considering that yeah. Fort Loco was immediately became illegal mm-hmm. And the fact that this has led to like 50% of

Drew:

all crimes

Jason:

in Scotland. Yeah. I mean, I don't know

Drew:

they haven't

Jason:

outlawed it. Kudos to'em for doing a social experiment and seeing how long it go. Yeah, that's pretty cool. I mean, I like to see how long they can go with

Drew:

It's a thousand years at this point, I think. Right? I mean, they've been going a long time. It's crazy. Monks, they interviewed them and they were like, it's not our

Jason:

fault what people do with our pod. It would cut 60% of crime if they just got rid of them.

Matt:

Yeah.

Drew:

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

Jason:

yeah. And what was it? It was like out of everybody that had been incarcerated, that was like two thirds, 30% of the people in jail used like Buckfast bottles or something to

Drew:

as a weapon. Yeah.

Jason:

Yeah. Ridiculous. So,

Drew:

Yeah. Buck Fast is my.

Jason:

my unanimous.

Drew:

Everyone, we did

Jason:

that, uh, initially on July 11th. Mm-hmm. Uh, when we, we did the story

Drew:

and then we

Jason:

got to try it And you brought something that's your relatives.

Drew:

Yeah. Not your cousin's husband. Nope. Not that guy. Not Alex. On, uh, October

Jason:

7th, which we appreciate that. Now we need to get a case and do, uh, we need,

Drew:

celebrate buck fast day,

Jason:

which is a real thing. Um, but

Drew:

my, if you're listening my family in England,

Matt:

uh, my

Jason:

Ship, ship us a case.

Drew:

my number two

Jason:

is actually.

Matt:

Oh wow.

Jason:

Oh wow. This should be

Drew:

see, I

Jason:

I can see that because

Drew:

no, not a

Jason:

lot of people know what it, It's a cheat code. it is a cheat code, Yeah. it's

Drew:

dangerous.

Jason:

very. It's alcohol. It doesn't taste like alcohol. I feel like

Drew:

a lot of kids got a hold

Jason:

of this, we would have.

Drew:

a problem. Right. I

Jason:

I was just, thinking

Drew:

buck fast of

Matt:

It would

Jason:

It would be the buck

Drew:

the United States. Yeah. United States. Yeah.

Jason:

Yeah. Well, There's no caffeine in, it, but Same thing. I mean, you know, growing up I would try like, vodka 30 30. Okay. way off It's like trying vodka growing up. Like I didn't like the taste of vodka at all. Still don't really that's a bloody Mary. But that, that's fantastic. Like no taste. I mean

Drew:

that's like a true neutral

Jason:

spirit. Yeah. Yeah.

Drew:

Yeah. It's, it's incredibly neutral. Um, so I, that's kind of where I went. I went with the general because it's so dangerous that you can't. You can get away from yourself drinking too much of it. Yeah. Um, which

Jason:

all right, you convinced me. I'll convert. to that one,

Drew:

Which, which, which we may or may not have done on the show

Jason:

multiple times. Multiple times. I think we probably have like 12

Drew:

or 13 episodes. Yeah. We've incorporated,

Jason:

Oh, probably more quick shots. too. Yeah. The last

Drew:

But the thing, last one, but the thing is though, is that A, it's great by itself. Like I keep a bottle of this almost all the time just at home and I will pour it over some ice. Put it the camera.

Jason:

anybody. Hadn't seen it yet. You

Drew:

Yeah. So

Jason:

also just go to the gym Just take the label off. and I think you're drinking water.

Drew:

So that's a one 1.8 liter bottle. Plastic.

Jason:

Looks

Drew:

like an Evon bottle. 24% alcohol. Crystal clear. Um,

Jason:

on the treadmill. I gotta stay hydrated. Next thing you know, you're falling off the treadmill.

Drew:

but. I drink it with, uh, over the over ice with a squeeze of lemon and a squeeze of lime and it's phenomenal. Um, so that was my, that's my number one. Uh, my number two was Buckfast just because of the story behind it. And then talking to my cousin who has lived that growing up, you know, over there he is like, yeah, this shit is
