Beards On The Street - Episode 52 - Real Estate Adventures and Unexpected Twists: Scooters, Earthquakes, and the Art of Crafting Cocktails
Music, music, hey, hey, hey, everybody, welcome to Beards on the Street. I'm Perry Ward. How you doing, man? Happy Friday.
Speaker 2:Aaron, I'm doing good. I'm loving this weather right now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I even rode my scoot yesterday. No, you're like a bastard. Everybody and I mean everybody was totally scoping me out when I was pulling out of the parking lot yesterday.
Speaker 2:How's your arm?
Speaker 1:It's fine.
Speaker 2:Is it yeah, Okay good.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't know if you ever need me to drive it for you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know what dude this guy.
Speaker 2:All right, you just got me into him, dude, like I've always loved them. But when you let me, when you lent me that that last year you know it was it was incredible, but well you caught the bug.
Speaker 1:Caught the bug, caught the bug. I know felt good to be on my scooter yesterday, wind in my hair, loud music playing, yep yep. Except I hit a bump on the freeway about broke me in half.
Speaker 2:Yeah it doesn't like the bumps.
Speaker 1:Well, is it because? It's so squatty no, I mean it's, it's any bike, it's just you know wheel length and I just, maybe it's because I'm near 300 pounds.
Speaker 2:But when I hit, when I hit a bump, it's like freaking it can.
Speaker 1:It can jar you like it jarred me. Matter of fact, I hit so hard, I didn't even know it, but it flopped my bag open. Yeah, wow, cause I was cruising along and a dude pulled up to me and started pointing. And I mean I double checked I always check when I'm taking off to make sure my bags are secure and yeah it, it hit so hard, it popped my bag oh my gosh and I had my, my, uh, their laptop in there.
Speaker 1:No, I had. Yeah, my uh, my ipad was in there. Luckily it didn't go anywhere night. The papers didn't even blow out. Oh wow, yeah, that's cool. Yeah, it was cool. I can tell you I was getting sandpapered, though what really? Oh yeah because the wind no, all the all the crap on the, on the, all the sand from, from all the snow storms. Yeah, literally you get sandblasted, wow until until it's off yeah, so does it.
Speaker 1:Uh, just basically, the spring the, the municipalities go through and clean the roads, right they do, and I mean when you got people in front of you and they're not paying attention, they drift off to the side.
Speaker 2:It seriously pelts the crap out, yeah, yeah, I I hear it on my car, on my truck. I do. I hear yeah, but I can imagine. Just look at the front of your car, yeah wow, and yeah, I've been.
Speaker 1:I've been hit pretty hard, like in the shin, or I actually got hit right in the forehead with a rock once. Are you serious?
Speaker 2:It actually reminds me. I saw a video, a reel, and it was a grizzly bear. They spend in certain places, they spend part of their time on these cliff mountains and they're going for moth, larvae and things like that, right? Well, anyways, this grizzly bear is up on this very steep mountain and it has debris falling, yeah, and it gets hit, and dude it just lost.
Speaker 2:Destroys the bear. It just a boulder hit and it was about softball size. Hit the bear in the head and it just Did it kill it. If not the fall did because it was on a mountain, it was on this, on this major, major, wow, yeah that reminds me of two things.
Speaker 1:You know the uh, the earthquake they just had in taiwan. Yeah, have you watched any of the footage? I just saw boulders like boulders the size of a freaking car coming down the hill and hitting cars.
Speaker 2:Wow, like holy cow all I saw was was like the billow of the of the dust and debris coming down, like is it did. Did part of the mountain come off?
Speaker 1:is that why it did? No, it just I mean rocks just dislodge, because I mean the earth's shaking. Yeah, dude, it showed another picture of a guy in a swimming pool on a rooftop and you should have seen the water.
Speaker 2:Oh sloshing back and forth it was a 7.5 like it was major, major, yeah, that's catastrophic.
Speaker 1:Like buildings that are leaning, Like I can't believe they didn't fall all the way down.
Speaker 2:But that's a testament to to uh engineering. They're designed to weather some of that in Taiwan.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's a they're, they're on a major fault, like earthquakes are are pretty normal there. And then you talking about bears cracks me up because there was a thing on uh on facebook this morning, uh, showing a picture of uh grizzly adams remember him and and I can't remember his bear's name it said it but I don't remember what it was, but I used to watch that all the time. That and mutual of omaha's wild kingdom. Yeah, that cracks me up, but that it tripped that memory. Yeah, so, all right. So you just, I know you were just chatting with some clients, that's why we're a little bit tardy this morning, but it was an important call because you were, you were basically having a price adjustment with them to get it more in check with what the market's telling Right Right, so there's been such little activity in the area, it was like, okay, let's pick a price, you know what is the area?
Speaker 2:uh, west jordan, so it's between 90th and 104th and 13th west. So there's a, a bunch of little uh, puds or, and communities or those are planned unit developments, gated communities, and they're uh, they're largely it's kind of a feeder, it's a, it's an age demographic and a feeder to be close to those to the temple that's there, nice and uh, so there was such little activity, I mean, and I don't think it's been, I think it's been two years since there's even been a cell in this particular community. People are staying and it takes deaths to move these people out, in and out, you know, but anyway, so we picked a price initially, just, you know, made an educated guess and well, you had some competition there too, because I know for a fact that you were that you were competing against another agent that was that was giving them information that maybe wasn't yeah, within check, yeah, and you know, and, and we always want to help, you know, to to make as much money as possible.
Speaker 2:but but our job is to go in at it, do our best to get the right price and then adjust, make appropriate adjustments based on the activity and buyer responsiveness, and so, anyways, this morning was an important call. I think we're going to get it corrected properly and get it right in line and it'll probably sell immediately is our goal.
Speaker 1:Nice, yep, I know that you've had me and other agents tell you that what our two cents were.
Speaker 2:Because, yeah, right, right, yep, okay, well, congratulations, dude that's kind of what's fun about, uh, you know, the, the office and the community we work in. I have, I've had, I had outside agents in the community help look at it, all of us trying to just kind of make sense of what's going on right there and and yeah, it all pointed to a price and making those adjustments, and so I'm grateful to the client you know are willing to listen to my expertise there.
Speaker 1:Well, they should, because you know what you're doing, so, yeah, so, right before we got on as well, we were chit-chatting with one of the principals of our company, john Syatt, and I'm really excited because he's committed to being on our podcast next Friday, so that's going to be a good one. John's been in the industry for a long, long time and he's also along with George coaching us, and I like the guy man.
Speaker 2:And I like the guy man.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, he's brilliant, he's smart, he's on top of it and he's just a likable dude man.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it'll be fun to have him on, for sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm excited. So also. We've got our mixer next Thursday. I'm not sure if we've figured everything out. We know what the charity is. Did we ever decide on a spot? Yeah, Wingnuts, Perfect Wingnuts where?
Speaker 2:Draper, draper, I think. Well, we were discussing Draper or Sandy, but probably Draper. Okay, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1:We'll send out.
Speaker 2:we'll be sending out the invite soon, probably today, but what we're most excited about talking about is this month, and next month we're going to direct our charity towards someone near and dear to your heart. It's your stepson. Yeah, mr Mason. Yeah, mason, so talk a little bit about what he's up to. He's got a neat charity. It's something he's working towards, anyways.
Speaker 1:He's freaking amazing guys. So this kid, you know, obviously I was around when he was back in high school. So this kid, you know, obviously I was around when he was back in high school and I know you didn't know him then, but I mean he was 100 pounds heavier.
Speaker 2:He was just this big monster, kid, I can't even imagine him carrying any weight because he's so cut.
Speaker 1:Now he's a specimen dude Like flat out like damn Well, you should have seen him then, because I mean, he course back then it was, you know football, and he, he didn't care. It's funny because I travel with him all the time because he worked for me, and that's back when I was doing the, the zuki, and uh, every time we'd sit down in a restaurant it wasn't he.
Speaker 1:He wouldn't order based on what was the best or what tasted good or anything, most food he was just literally which one's the based on what was the best or what tasted good or anything, which has the most food. He was just literally which one's the biggest. Wow, what has the most?
Speaker 2:You really can't go wrong if you're trying, I mean in a restaurant, that's a make sense strategy.
Speaker 1:if you're trying to be big and that's funny because that's kind of Gabe's attitude, right?
Speaker 2:now it's volume. He doesn't even. Gabe won't leave one meal without knowing when the next one is, so we're walking out. He's talking about where, when and where's the next meal.
Speaker 1:It's so funny to watch these kids that are so motivated by food, literally, Anyways. So Mason, through the years, has changed his diet and he's a major. He's actually on Instagram, for sure. His tag is the Buff Runner, and pretty fitting for this kid. But he loves to run, and not only just run Ultra marathoner, right?
Speaker 1:Well, it's not even ultra marathon. I'm not sure what they call it, Aaron, but he basically trail runs. So it's not just going out on the road and running, it's up and down and with grade, and I mean major stuff.
Speaker 2:I know the time I first met him it was with Gabe up at Snowbird and they were filming oh yeah, product footage and things like that and they were. They had been up there and run up to the tram and back, whatever, and no big deal, no big deal and they were just hanging out. I'm like you'd have to wheelbarrow me off this mountain, right well, and he's done some, some pretty amazing races.
Speaker 1:That dude, it seriously almost puts me in a coma just thinking about it. It's just crazy. But anyways, mason, for those of you that don't know him or my wife, his mother, she pretty much was not. Pretty much she was a single parent raising those boys with very, very little support from the other side, from her dad.
Speaker 2:Yeah, happens a lot it does.
Speaker 1:And you know she's an amazing person, she's an amazing mom and she raised those boys and they are just stellar young men. Yes, they are stellar young men. Yes, they are. And, anyways, Mason has decided that he's going to. He's linked up with a charity and it's all based around single mothers supporting single mothers, and Mason is coming here the weekend of Mother's Day and he's going to run for 24 hours straight. Think about that, dude.
Speaker 2:Miles. I stayed up for 24 hours straight once and it didn't feel good.
Speaker 1:And running. He's doing it on a track, Is he?
Speaker 2:Yes, so no, no variation of grade scenery, nothing, it's just monotonous. Reminds me of Goggins, dude, when he talked about when he did that. Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 1:I can't wait. Crazy, crazy, crazy. It's just amazing. We're going to go. I mean, a lot of people are going to come and run for five miles or whatever. I know he linked up. Are we going to run? Yes, we are Okay. Yep, sweet, yep, we're running Okay, and Lisey was just telling me I didn't see the post, I barely saw it. It showed a van of some sort and Mason, of course, was running and I guess he just linked up with another charity I don't know if it's the one that's sponsoring this or a different one, but like yesterday or the day before, and he ran 35 miles and it was no big deal, no big deal.
Speaker 2:Dude, do you know how good of shape and how trained and how like? Well, there's, there's the just the ability energetically, but then it's joints, and then it's Mental, and then your feet, and then you're like oh my gosh Incredible.
Speaker 1:I mean they talk about marathon runners in the documentaries and stuff where it rubs their nipples, their jersey or whatever it is. They actually tape their nipples because it rubs them so raw that they bleed and they lose toenails.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like they just fall off yeah.
Speaker 2:Man.
Speaker 1:So, anyways, mason, when you listen to this or if you are listening I know you're in class right now jump on here and shout out, but we'll have all kinds of eye candy and all I mean.
Speaker 2:this is going to be an ongoing thing up until next month so this, so this month's mixer is is centered around this, where this is the charity, where this is our charity and the energy we're putting behind is to support mason and this charity that he's got.
Speaker 1:That's and he's looking for donations. He's looking for, uh, all kinds of stuff you can reach out to us and and we'll put you in contact with the charity itself and get you all the links.
Speaker 2:Actually, let's link the.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we'll put it on here, I couldn't get it this morning before the show started to put it up, but we'll get it out to you. We just kind of wanted to do a preamble here and start talking about it and start putting the word out.
Speaker 2:If this speaks to anybody in our crowd and want to be part of it, to come run with us.
Speaker 1:it would be amazing, I mean he's going to need all the support that kid can get. You know what I mean. I mean, can you imagine this? I mean, think about it, dude, Like running.
Speaker 2:Like I think for 30 seconds is going to kill me hours in my head it was like could you imagine running for an hour straight, connor?
Speaker 1:how you doing kid straight? Wow, dude, 24 hours straight. Like I don't even know how many times that's going to be around the track I'm really excited.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I can't wait to actually just well they're're gonna have.
Speaker 1:I can't wait to man they're gonna.
Speaker 2:I can't wait to. I can't wait to actually just witnesses.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and they're gonna. They're gonna have like booths and some cool stuff around it, based around it. I know that I went and I went and talked to Nick and put Mason in touch with Nick's wife who's with KSL, to try to get them to come down, and I'm sure I mean mason already said that this charity they're tied up with is gonna. They're already contacting a lot of the. So I mean it's gonna be, it's, it's definitely gonna be significant. Huh, it's significant, dude. I mean it's. How many people do you know that can run for 24 hours?
Speaker 2:Mason, now yeah, wow.
Speaker 1:Like it's mind-boggling. Yeah, and on top of that, like this is just a beginner dude, this is just a beginner.
Speaker 2:Mason yeah, he's going to run.
Speaker 1:Mason is running across the United States to support this charity. That's how, and if you guys haven't, I mean, and while he's in school, what's he going to school for? He's uh uh, I think dentistry. Oh my gosh, while he's, while he's in full-time school, like like he is, definitely he's gonna run across the united states. Wow, this kid's got big aspirations.
Speaker 1:I mean, when it all comes down to it. I mean, if you haven't watched the video when he first came out and started talking about it, it's a tearjerker dude. I mean I know that his mom, my wife, just freaking cried for days. It's pretty powerful, you know just him talking about how much he appreciates her. And I mean mean they grew up. It's amazing. Single moms are amazing. Single dads are amazing. Yeah, do you know what I mean? This isn't just about it's single parent. Yeah, um, you know, if, you're, if, if, if, if your whole entire life is based around your children and raising them. To be good, honest, you know, people in civilization, that's not easy not to in this day.
Speaker 1:Participating contributors yeah, and actually being there, you know what I mean, yeah, I mean there's so many, there's so many non-existent parents, right, you know that that they just pawn it off and it's somebody else's issue and it's not okay, no, so, so anyways, mason, we're, uh, we're way proud of you, buddy, and we're gonna, we're gonna get 100 behind this and and see what we can't drum up and see what we can't do to to really help you promote this. Absolutely, man, proud of you, yeah, way proud of you, um. So, uh, let's talk about what do you want to talk about, aaron? What you got.
Speaker 2:I don't know man.
Speaker 1:I'll tell you something I saw this morning. That was really interesting. I thought it was cool. I actually sent it to Steve and Matt. I guess they had this contest, or at least this print or magazine or whatever it is had this contest with top, top, top bartenders, mixologists, whatever you want to call them in making an old-fashioned Okay, Okay, so now. I've had some good and bad, so let's talk about an old-fashioned, for those of you that don't know what's in an old-fashioned.
Speaker 2:You make a pretty good old-fashioned.
Speaker 1:You know I do, but apparently these guys are the guys. Yeah, old-fashioned, you know I do, but apparently these guys are the guys. Yeah, anyways, an old-fashioned guys is typically like in the day it was a cube of sugar, you know the square little cubes of sugar with bitters and then just whiskey and so what they would do is they would soak the sugar in bitters and then muddle it to crush it up and to get it to a form where it will dissolve, and then you pour in the whiskey.
Speaker 1:And so the big thing about this article was about do you use a cube of sugar? Do you use liquid sugar? What bitters are you using? Do you make the drink in the glass or do you make the drink outside of the glass? Do you shake it? Do you stir it? Do you do? You know what I mean? Just on and on, what do you garnish it with?
Speaker 2:typical, old-fashioned is is an orange or orange peel and or cherries I've had right, cherries, that's no. No, I love it.
Speaker 1:No, no, I love that, I Cherries, that's no-no. Wow, I love that. No-no, I love that. I know, but that's a no-no and I definitely love it According to these guys.
Speaker 1:I definitely love the orange, but this guy that won it, he won it and his garnish was an orange and a lemon, both, and he used it's some kind of a sugar. I'm not familiar with the name of it. I can't even tell you what the name of it was. But it's not a simple syrup, it's something else. I'm going to look it up. That's why I sent it to my buddies, because I want to look it up and I want to try to duplicate it. I mean down to whatever you know. Normally you're using a rye whiskey, like my favorite is with bullet rye whiskey, but I want to try this because it was weird. It was like a Jim Beam 101 or something.
Speaker 2:So a very specific whiskey as well, very specific whiskey. Where was your favorite? I mean part of it's experience presentation. You know where was your favorite.
Speaker 1:I'm preaching, connor. I preaching about the the lovely thing of a, of an old-fashioned who's connor? Connor is uh todd's uh nephew yes, awesome.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've met him right yeah, I think so cool kid. I love this kid developer. No, okay, different, um, uh, so where? Where was your favorite? Where was your favorite? Where was it and how was it presented?
Speaker 1:Old-fashioned.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, as you know, I'm pretty big into smoked.
Speaker 2:I was going to say I love the one you made me for my birthday a couple years ago. I don't even remember, remember that with your smoker, I don't remember. You brought your little smoke machine and made me a smoked old-fashioned on my birthday, oh, here.
Speaker 1:No, it was a brandon's nice. I don't remember that it was a good day. It was a good day anyways, uh, hmm, so I do like the smoked. Um, I don't like it too sweet. You know, when I go somewhere and I order one and and it's just overpowering sweet it it's here's. Another thing that I thought was really interesting in this article is they were talking about because if you think about it, I mean it's straight, pretty much straight whiskey, right, which can be overpowering, especially if you're not using a really good whiskey.
Speaker 1:Right, and even a really good whiskey can be overpowering, right, but they were talking about how do I explain this to you? They were talking about that that the very first drink is from there down. It's it's not as powerful. So, meaning, like they were talking about, you make the drink outside of it and you stir it. So you've got ice cubes and you're stirring it and you're basically diluting that whiskey a little bit, yeah, so that when you pour it in, obviously the first taste is going to be the strongest and the the, the and, as it goes it, the water is melting and the ice is melting, and it's yeah, further mixing, and it's yeah yeah
Speaker 2:so so first taste is best taste. That's basically should be best, yeah that's basically what it was saying.
Speaker 1:And this guy that that come up with this one. I guess he he tried like 40 or 50 different ones to come up with this one. So kind of interesting Me personally, my, my, my recipe for an old-fashioned and this is more of a, it's not just a single, it's, it's bigger but but, and it's not really an old-fashioned, it's like a triple and no well, I call it the old-fashioned, but I don't even know if you'd classify it.
Speaker 1:I mean, I'm sure there's bartenders and people in the industry out there if they heard heard this, they'd be like no dude, you're wrong. You're wrong, but I'm not an expert. I'm just talking about my drink, and so the whiskey that I put in it is Jameson, because I love Irish whiskey. So Jameson, and this is on the rocks. So again, you're getting that. The strongest is at the beginning Bitters. I normally use just an aromatic bitter and an orange bitter, simple syrup, lemonade and an actual orange that you've muddled. So I'm not just throwing the orange in it, but you actually. So it's really got that strong orange flavor in it. And yeah, that's my recipe. And man, it's pretty darn tasty, it is pretty good.
Speaker 1:And you do cherries, I do cherries, I was just going to say but I don't use just any cherry, I use the, the, I can't remember the name of them, but they're in a really thick syrup. They're, they're from a different country and, man, they are so good, like they're what are those called?
Speaker 2:they're near black, they're so deep, but they're really sweet red they almost taste like they have alcohol in them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, almost tell you what my favorite, uh, my favorite I've ever had. I don't remember, I don't recall. Um, I think it was maybe at the mandalay. There was a kind of a speakeasy kind of cool. Yeah, there's mandalay has a, has a terrace going off to another can't remember which, uh, which other, which other hotels next door. But before you head, you head on out, there's this. It's a kind of a speakeasy kind of a cool guy spot, but, uh, it was a smoked so it was a presentation with the big old, you know colander over the top, the fishbowl, almost like a cake thing. Yeah, and uh, and it had, uh, it had a candy, blood, orange garnishment, oh, like a really thin cut, yeah, and it had been candied so it was crispy, crispy and sweet and sweet, okay, and it was very sweet, very rich flavor.
Speaker 1:So was the orange. Did it include the rind?
Speaker 2:Uh-huh, yeah, it did, yeah, it did. But that was the garnishment on top and I think I don't recall if it had, because I was brand new at tasting this kind of stuff Right, but it was super smoky. You could the flavor of the smoke you had virgin lips.
Speaker 2:I did, and that's what started it all, oh boy. But you know what? Yeah, I've been doing the old fashions ever since and it really did turn me on to it. And then the second time I had the smoke was when you made it for me, nice, I like the smoke, I like that, especially when you're doing it with your rye, like you're talking about, and Bullet is a good product.
Speaker 1:You know what? I have two smokers, so I need to bring a smoker to the office. Yeah, yep, that's it, we're bringing a smoker to the office.
Speaker 2:Smoke and a pancake. Maybe that's a part of our show as we start with a smoke old-fashioned.
Speaker 1:Dude, you know what we need to start doing that, and we'll start the show with showing us making it.
Speaker 2:How do you think the brokers would like that bro?
Speaker 1:You know what?
Speaker 2:This is my business. This is also permission, not forgiveness, not permission whatever our story is my business all right, it's their.
Speaker 1:It's their house, it is their house. But this is my space. Right, start it with john.
Speaker 2:Tell me no tell let's start it with john next week yeah, john, george, I dare you to tell me no. Right, yeah.
Speaker 1:So anyways, I just thought it was really, really interesting that they had this challenge.
Speaker 2:I can tell you we're not to buy one locally. Where's that Great food? Love it. What but Bandits does not make a good old, make a good well then that's something that they need to work on, man.
Speaker 1:They need to, they need to, hopefully they they get wind of this and part of it is, part of it is.
Speaker 2:Is you're?
Speaker 1:talking up out of the canyon yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Part of it is that. Uh, you know, utah has laws around the volume of alcohol.
Speaker 1:It is so that factors don't even get me started on that subject well, so so this was a true one, because, you know, I'm practically half an adult and I can decide for myself.
Speaker 2:It's weird well, so they're made. So made this old, old-fashioned and they, and they only would do one ounce. And I'm like, can you do a one, because I'm aware of the, the importance of the whiskey flavor, right, like, can you do it? Can you do a one and a half, like you're allowed to? And I guess the guy there won't even play with it. Maybe they've been in trouble or something.
Speaker 1:So what you need to do next time you're going to Bandit's?
Speaker 2:shut your ears, Bandit's.
Speaker 1:I did Just have somebody else at the table, order a shot of whatever it is and dump it in there. I did Don't piss off because again, you're practically half an adult, all right together, you and I can make a decision exactly my goodness, it's just all right. Yeah, it's like you know what. Get out of my business.
Speaker 2:On, on, on how I'm gonna drink or how I'm not well, but then legally you can't even leave the premise if you've had a shot or a drink, right?
Speaker 1:no kidding 0.05 it's you know you got.
Speaker 1:That's why I like to drink at home, all right, or with my buddies at their home right, yeah, safe safe yep yep so, anyways, I thought that was really kind of a cool thing that they could actually take just one specific and such a plane. I mean, if you really think about it, it's, it's, there's not much to it, dude, so and and to have, and to have an actual contest where these guys have tried and tried and tried, I mean, I guess, if you think about it, I mean a lot of it's the whiskey that you're using, the, the, I mean the next, the next most potent I, I guess the three ingredients, I mean sugar, bitters. I don't know that, I've ever had one that simple right.
Speaker 1:That's a true right. No, no doubt.
Speaker 2:But I've never had it that simple. I've always. Um, I had a friend of mine make me one, uh, a few a month or so ago at her house and it was, and it was uh, had had cherries in it, it had bitters, yeah, I think it had muddled. It was really good. It was good. It was good, mark Miller.
Speaker 1:I mean, you know what there's? There's, I'm sure there's a whole bunch of different recipes. Joe Pistone, I was.
Speaker 2:I was impressed that she made that she that was her go to. She was like, Alright, I like it. Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, mark Miller. Hey, you know what it's. It's my go-to, for sure, for sure, unless I'm just drinking straight whiskey well, my go-to is just on the rocks, yeah, but or just but if yeah, so you can actually really taste it I like it on.
Speaker 1:I like it cold, but I drink it fast enough, it really doesn't melt you know it's funny because, uh, uh, last weekend I went over to the Schultz's and I don't know, it just hit me, but there was a couple of drinks that came up on, like FaceTime or Instagram or something. And you know how the algorithms work Once you look at one, it just starts bombing you with everything about it. But I made two drinks. I made one, which was an espresso martini. So this espresso had vodka and I'd actually made espresso. I'd made it and it was cold, so had that. So you basically take a scoop of ice cream. Listen to this man. Yeah, scoop of ice cream. I had gone and bought espresso or coffee liqueur, which is really sweet with a coffee taste to it, and so it was two jiggers of vodka, one jigger of the espresso or coffee liqueur. What else did I put in there?
Speaker 2:A scoop of ice cream. A scoop of ice cream. Do you do that last, so it stays solid, or does it shake up and melt? No, hang on, let me finish.
Speaker 1:So I'm in a shaker with this right now. No, hang on, let me finish. So I'm in a shaker with this right now, and then, oh yeah, a jigger of what?
Speaker 2:am I missing Caramel or something? No, no, no, no, okay.
Speaker 1:No, so it was the espresso that I made. So a jigger of that, a jigger of the espresso liqueur, two jiggers of vodka over a top of a scoop of ice cream, and then I would put ice in there and then just shake the out of it, and so the ice cream melts into the drink, right? So I would shake it until the ice cream was completely melted. Then I I took a scoop of ice cream and put it in the martini glass and and then you pour this over top of it. So there's no ice, it's just the ice was just to cool it off. And there's your espresso martini, were you like it was actually really good, but it was really sweet. But I love ice cream, but it was really good. I couldn't drink it because, but I love ice cream, but it was really good, I couldn't drink it. That's a dessert. Yeah, that's what I said. It's just, it's an, you know, after dinner and dessert. That's your dessert.
Speaker 2:But it was good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, really sweet, I bet it was good. So the second one I did and my wife was a huge fan of this one dude is a uh, a uh. It's called the devil's, um, the devil's margarita, okay, okay. So the devil's margarita was, of course, tequila and I was using just silver patrone, a couple jiggers of that lime juice, and I couldn't find fresh lime juice, so I used the bottled stuff. But then I took a lime, or a chunk of lime, and I squoze it in there so that it had the fresh lime with that other. I'm trying to think what else was in it.
Speaker 2:What's the?
Speaker 1:devil part. Oh, I know what it is. So, anyways, you, you, you, and then you'd put that over ice and and shake the shit out of it, and then, uh, uh, you'd pour that into the glass over. Did I do it over ice? I think I did it over ice. And then you top it with red wine.
Speaker 2:Interesting yeah, interesting yeah, she loved it, did she? Yeah, like a cab or something or what.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I can't remember which one.
Speaker 2:what I used More dry, like kind of a dry wine. I think it was just a red blend.
Speaker 1:Okay, just a red blend wine, and she really liked it. Oh, and on that one I would dip the cause. It's a margarita right in the bottom. Yeah, I would dip the rim in this. This sugar that we've got, that's a lemon sugar. It's almost got lemon rinds in the sugar you know, dried lemon rinds.
Speaker 1:Yeah, man, fun yeah. So that was the devil's margarita, devil's margarita, cool, kind of fun one. Yeah, absolutely so, and they were a hit, I think. I think everybody liked them, and lisa really liked that one, because she likes wine and she likes margaritas, she likes tequila. Tequila make your clothes fall off, all right.
Speaker 1:So, anyways, I thought it was really interesting that's fun man yeah, but I think we do, I think we need to bring, I think we need to bring some ingredients, and this is a new thing, we're going to do this from now on.
Speaker 2:Are you feeling safer because you've actually had whiskey that's managed to stay in the office?
Speaker 1:Yeah, no kidding, hell, it was out of control for a minute.
Speaker 2:It was so weird because it was like like one day you'd have stuff and then the next day you'd come back.
Speaker 1:It would just miraculously be gone and we're talking really good stuff here. Guys, and these clowns were. It was good. Yeah, no kidding. Anyways, I think we should start doing where we have a drink of the week and and we mix it and show it here and show the ingredients and everything. That's our new thing, oh man fun all right, so we do this at 10 am.
Speaker 2:I don't care, it's not too early for it for a good drink five o'clock somewhere all right, it's not like we're gonna have drink after drink after drink.
Speaker 1:It's a drink yeah, you know to to spin it off of of something cool that we saw out there. So I'll pick the one for next week and then you can pick the one for the week after or is this going to be a competition thing where we actually have two.
Speaker 2:That's a we're gonna have to get really. Yeah, I don't know. Let's figure it out, Okay, Fun.
Speaker 1:We'll figure it out, but that's a good idea, yeah.
Speaker 2:Just like, okay, I'm going to throw out, we're going to have to have a rating system. Well, we're going to have to have a rating system.
Speaker 1:Well, we'll let everybody else out there kind of tell us what they think. It's not like they're tasting it. We can talk about what we're tasting, or maybe whoever our guest is for the week can tell us Because we're going to have to make them one too and they can tell us which one is the best. And if we don't have a guest, we'll just bring somebody in real quick and they can tell us what's their favorite.
Speaker 2:Our guest taster.
Speaker 1:Yeah, guest taster, and if they don't drink, then we'll just have to drink theirs.
Speaker 2:Just kidding, so I like it dude, I think it'll be fun, it'll be fun.
Speaker 1:You know another thing that I know, aaron, you've kind of been in my ass to tell me or telling me that I should do this, but I want to start up at least a weekly podcast. I think it should stay under this I don't know, we'll figure it out but where I'm basically by my turntable and I'm talking about music and promoting and, and and I love it, and promoting, yeah, an album so I've gotten my in my record collection.
Speaker 2:I also think you're part of your uh, part of your blue society. You need to start bringing in anybody you can around that, no kidding, yeah, that would be fun imagine your own version of uh between the fern, or have you seen that with? No, oh, it's a, it's a comedy where he sits down, uh, what's his name? Um?
Speaker 1:benji, how you doing kid it's a it's arian's man yeah, it's just a.
Speaker 2:It's just a comedy spiff that one of the actors sits down and sits and just has these conversations around a fern around but yours beers will be around a turntable yeah harry dean's turntable yeah, that's. I think it's a good idea no, I think so too.
Speaker 1:You know, I mean, how much I love music and and especially blues. And you know, this morning, when I was getting ready, I always I you know I've got a alexa and I always tell her to play something. And it's really funny, dude, because every morning I'm like stretching, trying to figure out. It's like okay, I don't want to just do the same ones over and over and over. So I'm always constantly trying to think, like the other day I had Alan Parsons' project on there, like who thinks about Alan Parsons' project? I don't even know who that is, yeah well. Or I don't even know who that is, yeah well. Or like Tonic or Collective Soul, right. But anyways, this morning mine was actually yesterday it was Robert Plant, which, if you know anything about Robert Plant, he was the singer for Led Zeppelin, so everybody knows about Led Zeppelin. So my music choice this morning was Led Zeppelin. So everybody knows about Led Zeppelin. So my music choice this morning was Led Zeppelin.
Speaker 1:And it's funny that I was singing along with every single song. That's how I mean, yeah, you know it, dude, when I was younger Led Zeppelin was seriously. I mean, I loved the blues even then. And if you listen to Led Zeppelin. Listen to it now that I've said it with a blues ear, like listen to it and listen to the blues that's coming out of. I mean it's so bluesy and it doesn't shock me because because, uh, um, they've done blue stuff before or after, but anyways, it was just. And if, if you've listened to to, um, their lead singer, it's singer, his personal stuff is so different than Led Zeppelin, I'll have to check out what you're talking about, like night and day different.
Speaker 2:Awesome, I'm going to check it out.
Speaker 1:So anyways, yeah, I'm always looking for something cool to throw up in the mornings and reminisce.
Speaker 2:Spice up your day. Play the cards yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I try to think of stuff when I was younger that I liked, because I mean, it's easy to say you know, alexa, play the blues you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:I like to turn on different genre. You know 80s, 70s. Yeah, Enjoy that, yeah.
Speaker 1:All right, brother. Well, I think we've yacked enough. Dude 40 minutes in, what do you think Got anything?
Speaker 2:else, just an invitation. If anybody's got any curiosity with where you're at with your property, if you're starting to get in the frame of I was on a conversation this morning, just the general feeling and I don't know if you can relate to this, but there's been, it's been, it's been since 22 that rates have started to adjust and do what they've been doing. Um, there there's been pent up interest and demand of, you know, people that are in properties that want to make moves, but they're sitting on because they've got these low interest rates and so it's like any move they make and people have waited for the prices to come down, which they're not, they're not um keep waiting and you're you're gonna miss everything.
Speaker 2:Well, so, it's, their people have been kind of sitting and waiting and they're now they're jumping in. They're just what the heck, let's just do it because they they want to change in their house, they want to, they want to make that move closer to work, or they're just people are kind of finally going okay, this is what it is and let's make a move. So if you've got anything going on and you're thinking about any of this, let's just get conversations rolling. So when rates do make that little bit of an adjustment that helps make it make sense, you're ready and you know what to look at, what to do. We can give suggestions on prepping your property, that kind of thing. Just reach out to us. We'd love to get the conversation started. Absolutely, it doesn't mean you have to be doing anything right now. We want to help.
Speaker 1:Well, we talked about our real estate reviews last week and just knowing what it is that you've got and where you sit, I mean, that's just health, that's just healthy stuff.
Speaker 2:So we'll be reaching out around those as well. So just anticipate that we want to come visit with you and just show you what your property is doing.
Speaker 1:Hey, the last two offers I wrote one of them. There ended up being, I believe, eight offers. The other one there was five. So trust me, man, people are buying real estate right and left. There still is a shortage of real estate still. So, yeah, if you guys, if anybody has any inkling at all, or if you're just curious, give us a shout, man.
