TEACH ME SOMETHING. Believing everyone is in the Top 1% in the world at something, Chris challenges his frequent 3Q3D co-hosts, Amanda Adams and Matt Jordan, to teach him something from their respective areas of expertise. At worst, you'll learn why a yeasty 3 Philosopher's Ale is a terrible chaser to a Sloe Gin Fizz, and at best, you'll learn how to win your next argument, why not everything is relative, and what Julie Roberts and Richard Gere knew about negotiating. Drinks in this episode: >> Sloe Gin Fizz – 2 oz sloe gin, 1 ½ oz fresh lemon juice, ½ oz simple syrup; shake all ingredients in cocktail shaker and strain into a highball glass; top with splash of club soda and garnish with a Maraschino cherry >> Gin & Tonic – 2 parts Burnett's gin, 2 parts tonic; pour gin and tonic over ice and garnish with lime wedge >> Ommegang “Three Philosophers” ale

RJ. He’s amazing. He’s funny, deep, passionate, talented, and creative. We’re taking D2D on the road and bringing you several amazing guests. These folks are here because they are interesting, enthusiastic, bright, and sonogenic. (Not sure if that’s a word…but if a person who always looks good in a picture is “photogenic,” then a person who always sounds good on a podcast is, “sonogenic.”) I’ll share with you here the structure of these upcoming episodes: Introductions and making the connection between guest and Greg. (This will be most important when a guest is on for the first time. [duh]) What’s the booze that we’re drinking? (We always talk about what we’re drinking, and also other aspects of the booze. [e.g. What’s the abv and ibu of the beer? What’s the brand of whiskey? Proof? What’s the grape? Etc.]) What drives you to drink, in general and/or tonight? (The entire D2D endeavor is this: There are things that drive us to drink. Rather than just allowing these things to fester in us or cause us to become pessimistic or cranky, it’s my preference to have a few drinks, talk it out, laugh, and find the glimmers of light. Ultimately, this endeavor is a way to let go of defeatism and apathy and bring humor, optimism, community, and constructive energy to the very things that drive us to drink.) Expertise Area. (With any guest, I like to ask questions related to what I perceive to be one or several of their expertise areas. We all have many. It isn’t necessarily your job, but perhaps a hobby or even just some piece of esoterica that I think will be interesting and fun to record.) Wildcard. (What would you do for a Klondike bar?) Wildcard follow-up. (This could go in any direction. Theoretically, we’ll be quite inebriated at this point, so that should make it maximally wild.) Farewells So, there you go. In terms of R.J., we move through #1, #2, and #3 in this first of three episodes. Regarding beer, I move us through an array of big beers (i.e. all over 7% abv), sweet&malty to bitter&hoppy, starting with my favorite belgian style quad (Ommegang Three Philosophers), then an Imperial Stout (Samuel Smiths), an Imperial Pilsner (Lagunitas), an American Strong Ale (Arrogant Bastard), and finally an imperial IPA (Hop Stoopid). And music. Lots of it over the next three weeks. Today, you get a healthy dose of Paul Simon and Steve Gadd. At the beginning, the them song from Louis C.K.’s brilliant piece of cinematic/theater art, “Horace and Pete.” In the middle, “Late in the Evening” from Paul Simon’s Concert in the Park. (Listen for Gadd’s Mozambique beat over a conga rhythm.) And to end, the baddest ass drum lick in the history of popular music, “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.” Have fun. We sure did. -G
Right from the start, Greg is half kicked in the ass. Jen? “Ehhhhh…I’d say about 40%” The beers: To start, we share a Lagunita’s Hop Stoopid bomber. (“A bawmuh, kid. Like it’s owuh jawb.”) Then, Jen has a Southern Tier Gemini and Greg, Ommegang Three Philosophers. There was also a Sam Smith’s Winter Ale in there somewhere. Lots of beer. “Well, we’re anticipating a 40 – 50% chance of kicked-in-the-ass. Back to you, Ron.” The topics: We start with gratitude. And whiskey. (Yep. After all that beer.) We open a gifted bottle of Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection 1838 Style White Corn Bourbon. This is a mash bill that would have been used through the infancy of the state of Kentucky, just after our yinzer forefathers moved from Western PA to the newly minted “Kentucky,” when Thomas Jefferson offered, in essence, the very first corn subsidy. 1838 is the year Woodford Reserve erected its first distillery, and indeed it is the oldest distillery in the state of Kentucky. And holy shit is this bourbon good. Triple distilled in a copper pot still, 45.2% alcohol by volume (90.4 proof). The mash bill is the same as the typical Woodford Reserve expression, just with the white corn that pays homage to originators and innovators, Dr. James Crow and Oscar Pepper: 72% corn, 18% rye, 10% malted barley. (Today’s bourbons use yellow corn which is cheaper and more ubiquitous. In the late 1700’s and 1800’s, and indeed in 1838, white corn would have been the grain used by Pepper and Crow.) We dream of hiking mid-winter through snowy forests (…Cook Forest to be precise…), breathing the clean, crisp air that seems to alleviate allergies and chest colds, with flasks of high proof spirits. Specifically, one flask with this very bourbon and another with Wigle Landlocked Spiced and Oaked…which is akin to rum except using Pennsylvania buckwheat honey instead of sugar or molassas, then spiced with a giant tea bag of sorts, then aged in used whiskey barrels. Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it. Kate licks her coot-coot, which transitions us into our second topic: New Year’s Resolutions. The resolution that Greg eventually stated in last weekend’s post, “Driven to Resolution (2015),” was not his initial resolution. Here you’ll hear the initial musings of what would have been a self-serving, shitty resolution that placed Greg firmly in that false, judgmental position of superiority that he seeks to extinguish. “You need to have more acceptance.” That’s literally what she (Jen) said. Acceptance. To not only strive toward breaking free of fear and judgment but to also acknowledge and accept oneself, and others. Jen’s personal goals, as gleaned from the conversation: To improve myself, to stop feeling like a victim, to bounce back, to empower myself and take control of my life, take control of my health, be more patient and accepting, to cherish the good things, be more present, and celebrate all that’s positive. Big stuff. Good stuff. Doable stuff. Musically, you’ll note a “Thank You” sandwich, with Led Zeppelin up front and Dido at the close. Not Dildo. Dido. Thank you. We present to you, “Gratitude and Resolutions.”
