73: Advent of Whiskey: Holiday Treats, Final Holiday Trivia, and Quantum Computing

[00:00:00]

[00:00:00] Robbie: Do you hear it? I think Santa is on the roof.

[00:00:08] Chuck: Ding, ding, ding, ding. I can’t really do a jingle bell sound. Sorry.

[00:00:14] Robbie: Yeah. I don’t know. My favorite, uh, Christmas song that’s like from the forties is Jing Jingling. Jingling. Jingling. Have you heard that?

[00:00:22] Chuck: Yeah. That’s

[00:00:23] Robbie: It’s so good. Anyway, this.

[00:00:26] Chuck: another.

[00:00:27] Robbie: This is Whiskey Web and whatnot. Advent of Whiskey Edition. This is our last one. It’s somewhere around Christmas, depending on when this airs. So Merry Christmas everyone.

[00:00:37] Robbie: Happy holidays. Hope you’ve been following along for the past few days, surviving your time with relatives and enjoying many unhealthy snacks and beverages.

[00:00:49] Chuck: many libations with whiskey potentially.

[00:00:53] Robbie: Yeah, so we are going to continue our whiskeys here and finish the last three of our admin calendar, and we [00:01:00] are super excited to be done with these

[00:01:02] Chuck: Yeah, so this is Keeper’s Heart whiskey. Um, it is supposed to be from both the US and Ireland. Let’s see here. So it says US Minnesota, but it’s Asana Sea distilling, four years old Irish American whiskey style, potentially 43%. So 86. And um, that’s it. That’s all we get to know. Keeper’s heart, this one’s much lighter than

[00:01:31] Robbie: Smells like passion fruit.

[00:01:34] Chuck: Hmm.

[00:01:35] Chuck: Hmm.

[00:01:36] Robbie: It takes a minute to get it, like pour it in the glass and give it a good sniff.

[00:01:42] Chuck: sure. That’s not mixed with a previous one.

[00:01:45] Robbie: It could be

[00:01:46] Chuck: Ooh, yeah, I do. Yeah. Yeah. Turns out that is much more candy like and sweet, kind. Hmm. Okay. Well, let’s, let’s taste it.[00:02:00]

[00:02:05] Robbie: It tastes like buckwheat pancakes

[00:02:08] Chuck: Oh, okay. I do get a little bit of the weepiness there, but I feel like a little lemon

[00:02:14] Robbie: went to, yeah. It’s like you went to eat a nice thing that you think is gonna be sweet and delicious and it’s got like a lot more old school unflavored grain in it than you were expecting. It’s not like a cake

[00:02:29] Chuck: I get that little graininess though to it. Yeah. I get a little citrus rind or lemony and then graininess. Definitely. Hmm. I don’t know. It’s okay. It feels like it’s young to me. I’ve still got

[00:02:52] Robbie: if I made whiskey, like it doesn’t have anything going for it at all. It’s just like

[00:02:58] Chuck: you are the one to make the Irish [00:03:00] whiskey, eh, miash, she’s also powerful to Perry Caravans. Do you like Dougs? Do you like Doug’s? Oh, Dougs, yeah. I like Dougs. All right. See movie references Snatch with Brad Pitt. It’s a guy Richie movie where he’s a gypsy.

[00:03:20] Robbie: Mm.

[00:03:20] Chuck: isn’t Irish.

[00:03:21] Robbie: to Peaky Blinders.

[00:03:23] Chuck: Pike. That’s what they’re called.

[00:03:25] Chuck: Um, uh, no, they’re rich and live in a mansion. Um, these, they live in caravans and travel around the country.

[00:03:32] Robbie: Well, so do the people that are the family of the Peaky

[00:03:35] Chuck: I guess originally they did. Yeah. More of that. So that’s true. They were

[00:03:39] Robbie: or whatever.

[00:03:40] Chuck: I forgot the first season of that. It’s very enjoyable, but it took me a while to like understand what they’re saying.

[00:03:46] Robbie: Mm-hmm.

[00:03:48] Chuck: Yeah.

[00:03:49] Robbie: Yeah, I’d, uh, it’s still good. Still

[00:03:51] Chuck: I really like Tom Hardy’s. Uh, yeah, I need to, the last season I haven’t, um, like the most recent season I haven’t watched, but I, uh, I did [00:04:00] get that game on switch also. That’s how much I liked it, but also not, didn’t play that. So I’m good for

[00:04:06] Robbie: a Peaky Blinders game.

[00:04:07] Chuck: There is a switch Peaky Blinders game. I’m really good at like things that’ll go where on my wishlist and then they’ll go on sale and I’ll buy some of them cuz you know, you get like half off or more so.

[00:04:19] Chuck: and then I just never play him. Like I got Tony Hawks Pro skater. Um, it was like, I think it’s like one, two, and three or something like that. Great.

[00:04:30] Robbie: Yeah, I, uh, I haven’t bought a switch game in a while. Honestly, I haven’t played a game in a while, and it’s a little depressing.

[00:04:39] Chuck: yeah, yeah. I agree. Kind of like I was doing some FIFA when the World Cup started, and that’s kind of fallen off as.

[00:04:49] Robbie: Yeah, the problem is the type of game that I like as we’ve mentioned many a time, is the grindy like, oh, you start at level zero and you need to play for like [00:05:00] six years of like 24 hours a day, and then you can be the best player from everything you’ve accumulated. That’s so like, that’s something that’s hard to jump in when I have 30 minutes to play

[00:05:11] Chuck: Yeah. Yeah. I was gonna say, I don’t, I haven. Probably in the last decade had a lot of time for many of those games. But like Sky Rim was one when it came out on the switch. It was like, yes. And then, uh, breath of the Wild, which is why I

[00:05:26] Robbie: Breath of the Wild too comes out, I am definitely not working for a week.

[00:05:31] Chuck: that’s right. Uh, I’m gonna go into the office, but I’m not gonna do any work. they’ll be like, didn’t you take the,

[00:05:38] Robbie: Sarah thinks you’re working.

[00:05:40] Chuck: Yes, exactly. Now you know where I’m at. Come into the office, um, and, and have a vacation from everyone except for my, my, my baby boy switch. Anyway. We should get to a second whiskey

[00:05:52] Robbie: well just, so just to wrap that up, you could also be like, get home and be like, oh, work was so hard today. I really [00:06:00] just, can you just watch the kids? I need to play some, some video games for a little bit

[00:06:04] Chuck: sure. And that.

[00:06:05] Robbie: going.

[00:06:06] Chuck: Oh, and that’s gonna work one day. Okay. If I take a week off, I get every day.

[00:06:13] Robbie: Yeah.

[00:06:13] Chuck: Yeah, you order some, you get some in and out. , you play games and you really just completely take it, take it to the bottom. Um, alrighty. Scotch Whiskey from Scotland, um, 46%. Um, it’s called Compass Box. From Scotland, Cub Box, non age stated blended malt whiskey.

[00:06:36] Chuck: So it’s a blend, uh, using American and French oak casks. Um, is there anything special in this descriptor? Uh, okay. They decided to shake things up and use staves in the finishing process.

[00:06:51] Robbie: Hmm.

[00:06:52] Chuck: Trump was, went too far in their daring endeavor. They decided to shake things up, I don’t know.[00:07:00]

[00:07:01] Robbie: Yeah, that’s, that’s not that daring. That’s just lazy.

[00:07:05] Chuck: right. Yeah. Accelerant again, so you can have young whiskey to sell or frequently. Okay. Yeah, that’s definitely smells like a scotch. That’s right. I’m getting smokiness.

[00:07:22] Robbie: I haven’t tried it yet. I forgot to rate the last one. I’m doing bad at this. Hold on. All right.

[00:07:26] Chuck: You’re fired. Um, the client, flaviar has fired you. That’s the nature of our business now. It smells, I haven’t tasted it yet. It does smell smokey to me though, so it’s hard for me to get much out of it outside of

[00:07:42] Robbie: Yeah, it tastes like scotch. s Smokey doesn’t have a ton of pe, but it has some, um,

[00:07:51] Chuck: It’s, it’s not blowing you away with the pee, but yeah, it’s definitely there. It’s like if you like scotch, this is, this has got all the traditional [00:08:00] qualities of that. It’s a little higher proof and some, yeah, it’s scotchman, scotch staves are not, um, if you like scotch, then this is gonna do it for you. And we’ve had a few guests on, so we know that we have friends who are into it.

[00:08:15] Chuck: So if you want a scotch that tastes like Scotch Compass, sponsors of Whiskey Web and whatnot.

[00:08:24] Robbie: Tom Preston Wener likes scotch and he has more money than, uh, most of our guests. So , he must, uh, know something we don’t

[00:08:33] Chuck: Well, we don’t ask for financial disclosure, so you can only assume that, right?

[00:08:37] Robbie: Well, that’s true. That’s true.

[00:08:39] Chuck: yeah, not everybody exits GitHub as a founder, but that said, who knows? Maybe somebody is a fastidious saver and investor.

[00:08:48] Robbie: that’s true.

[00:08:48] Chuck: done well on another other side of

[00:08:50] Robbie: they’ve, they’ve just been watching my Robinhood and doing the opposite of every investment I have, and they are billionaires,

[00:08:57] Chuck: Yeah. Because, and that’s why I’m not, because I’ve [00:09:00] listened to your advice and it’s very

[00:09:02] Robbie: See, that’s the thing though, is my advice is correct at one point in time in life that it not necessarily when

[00:09:11] Chuck: two weeks before you bought it. Yeah. And then you finally convinced yourself to get in. And it’s too, In. Um, so yeah, maybe, I don’t know. Run inspir buys a lot of fancy running stuff, so that guy’s probably got it going on in the bank account department.

[00:09:29] Robbie: I think he, yeah, I think he has a, uh, sufficient amount of dollars, but I think, uh, not, not billions.

[00:09:37] Chuck: Why did I have to buy him whiskey? You know, it’s, Very good question. Um, anyway, in the Scotty Scotch of SCOs, how would you rate this one?

[00:09:49] Robbie: For me it’s a five. I think it’s fine. I don’t like scotch, but if you did, I think it’s a decent one. It’s nothing crazy good or anything, so.

[00:09:59] Chuck: [00:10:00] Yeah, I think we’re gonna agree on that, like. It’s not in middle of the road. It’s obviously not bad for what it is compared to SCOs per se. Um, I prefer a little bit of peat over smoke personally and so askew to that side. I think I’m really just a five like, oh yeah, this is like a scotch I can tolerate and can see.

[00:10:20] Chuck: It’s like decent quality. So we’ll go that

[00:10:25] Robbie: All right, last one.

[00:10:28] Chuck: Yeah, it had. Hmm, exactly. We don’t get the same. This is really inherent ed educational part of the show. Those were all, uh, Foley sounds actually in the past. Okay, so this one is called Napa Hu Castle. It is a 12 year old, oh, there you. We’re gonna, we’re gonna finish it off without bearing.

[00:10:55] Chuck: It’s an Irish whiskey, um, from the Great Northern Distillery, 12 years old, single malt [00:11:00] Irish whiskey, charred oak bourbon casks. So used but charred cuz that’s what bourbon wouldn’t have to be. Anyway. Cool.

[00:11:10] Robbie: am rating my previous one cause I forgot again.

[00:11:14] Chuck: Oh my God. I’ve just got a glance at the tasting notes. I’ve been trying to ignore those things, but, uh, , it

[00:11:20] Robbie: Don’t tell me

[00:11:21] Chuck: Oh, okay. Well, which kind of biscuit?

[00:11:25] Robbie: like a cookie or a

[00:11:27] Chuck: Right. Which one? Yeah, or like a gravy biscuit. That would be an interesting whiskey. Biscuits and gravy and sausage.

[00:11:35] Robbie: Hmm, I’m getting bacon.

[00:11:38] Chuck: Of course you are now.

[00:11:40] Robbie: No, I’m just kidding.

[00:11:41] Chuck: Okay. I Hi. Hmm.

[00:11:48] Robbie: This, this is gonna be potentially weird, but I got a little bit of like Bloody Mary, like tomatoey. Uh. Spicy [00:12:00] little.

[00:12:01] Chuck: huh. Okay, that’s interesting. I’m definitely not

[00:12:05] Robbie: not on the notes.

[00:12:06] Chuck: I think that I’ve been influenced by the things that I saw, but I’m thinking, you know, those like little ginger cookies.

[00:12:13] Robbie: Mm-hmm. ginger snaps.

[00:12:14] Chuck: Yeah. It’s kind of like that on the nose for me. So

[00:12:20] Robbie: I don’t like ginger snaps. We can get into that after this.

[00:12:24] Chuck: there’s so many things you don’t like. Actually, you’re very

[00:12:26] Robbie: No, no. Let me, I will explain.

[00:12:28] Chuck: I don’t know. Oh yeah. That’s kind of sweet, huh?

[00:12:38] Robbie: Oh, whoa. That’s got some flavors.

[00:12:40] Chuck: Yeah, it does. It’s actually like, Very diverse. Okay. So,

[00:12:47] Robbie: some mango perhaps.

[00:12:48] Chuck: yeah, like some crispiness out of like a nice fruity white wine, right? Like a Pinot Grigio with it’s fruity a little bit. I’m getting a little of that initially. [00:13:00] Then I get a little spice. It does have some burn. It’s um, It’s definitely one of the more flavorful Irish whiskeys I’ve had. I think it has something to do with the age, cuz there’s like those yellow spot green spots. I’ve had some red breasts that are like 12 and 15 years and that actually starts to be like a really nice place for Irish whiskeys for me. Hmm

[00:13:22] Robbie: this, uh, I’m a pretty big fan of this one.

[00:13:26] Chuck: hmm. Yeah, would repeat, will repeat. Um, so what was it called again? Naba hu Napa hu castle. So k n a p p o g u e castle, A castle from the Great Northern Distillery. I.

[00:13:46] Robbie: Did you say it? Um, is it finished in any other kind of barrels?

[00:13:50] Chuck: Hmm,

[00:13:51] Robbie: Like what gives it the fruitiness?

[00:13:52] Chuck: um, well, it, it says that it was finished in charred oak bourbon barrels, which all bourbon barrels are supposed to be [00:14:00] charred oak. Um, let’s see if I can get more info anywhere. The sign. Enjoy the silence. Oh. There’s something special about a 12 year old single malt whiskey. It’s like a premium steakhouse that dry ages their Wagyu ribeye for six weeks.

[00:14:25] Robbie: it is kind of like that.

[00:14:27] Chuck: Hmm. Yeah. Some of the finest independent Irish whiskey on earth, but no, we’re not getting,

[00:14:35] Robbie: me that I have a steak in my fridge.

[00:14:37] Chuck: Hmm. Well time to get to that.

[00:14:44] Robbie: All right, so I would, we didn’t rate this yet, did we? So I would say this is a seven for me. It’s pretty good.

[00:14:52] Chuck: Yeah. Yeah. I was feeling like, I mean, I’ve been like, I’ve had pretty good Irish whiskeys, but I’m pretty wowed by this [00:15:00] one. It’s 7.2.

[00:15:03] Robbie: Oh,

[00:15:05] Chuck: Yep. Nudging up. Nudging up

[00:15:07] Robbie: Chris Manson, go buy this for much cheap. Right next to your house? Probably

[00:15:15] Chuck: Yeah. Did you know that Ireland is only four square miles? It’s crazy. They fit all those people there.

[00:15:22] Robbie: Yeah, no, I’m,

[00:15:23] Chuck: they, they floated away on potatoes.

[00:15:25] Robbie: it cheaper cause it doesn’t have to get shipped overseas. But yeah, I don’t know how readily available it is.

[00:15:32] Chuck: it’s hard to say because hey, maybe there’s a certain part of it that is cheaper and then they add taxes or something. Bump things up and there’s an equalization in price. It’s probably not. Who knows though, because I know that in lots of places in Europe, like wine is really cheap.

[00:15:47] Robbie: Yeah. Kiati is like a $5 or euros, whatever, instead of like 30 like it is

[00:15:54] Chuck: Yeah. For like a one, like the big basket bottle one that’s like whatever, like a one and a half liter or [00:16:00] something.

[00:16:00] Robbie: Yeah.

[00:16:01] Chuck: Yeah. I definitely used to get some like pretty decent, cheap wine in port in Spain for like three euro. It was crazy.

[00:16:08] Robbie: Yeah, I’m totally guessing, but I think that it goes back to the days where you couldn’t drink the water safely everywhere. So like wine was ubiquitous as the drink. Then it just became like, we have barrels of it in every room of every house, like it’s just free

[00:16:26] Chuck: Yeah. Right, because this is how we don’t murder everyone. I mean, maybe, I don’t know, but, um, I, I mean, It’s just like such a staple to have on the table for meals and stuff. It’s almost like getting you all better. Get milk. I get a little wine for dinner because they don’t drink a lot though. So you like open a bottle of wine for four people.

[00:16:45] Chuck: Everybody has, you know, a small glass or two and that’s kind of it. Um, so there’s, it’s also like kind of,

[00:16:52] Robbie: or whatever

[00:16:52] Chuck: yeah. Yeah. And then, uh, it’s funny actually water also so cheap there. Like here you gotta get a bottle of water and it’s [00:17:00] like a couple of bucks maybe. For a liter or less. And it’s like, you can get like natural mineral water with effervescence in it, uh, for like a quarter, whatever.

[00:17:12] Chuck: I think it’s like 25 cents for the Euros thing. Um, well, it used to be, and I’m still, I’m sure it’s still pretty cheap. So it’s like, oh, we don’t want our people also to be dehydrated. Turns out certain things. We just get, get to them for.

[00:17:26] Robbie: Yeah. Yep. So let’s progress back to, uh, cookies. So ginger snaps. I, I love ginger bread. Cookies. Okay. But I hate really, really snappy ginger snaps that are like breaking your teeth kind of snap. Um, and that’s kind of how I am about all. Baked goods, like I would prefer them to be soft and chewy versus crunchy,

[00:17:56] Chuck: I think most of the time I agree with you on that. You don’t want like a [00:18:00] biscoti that is soft and chewy, for example, right. Ginger snaps kind of make me think of like, I don’t know. Yeah, I feel like I dip those in like a tea or something too, even when I’ve had them. But, uh, so.

[00:18:13] Robbie: out well because Caitlin loves crispy things. So like if there’s a pancake and like the outer rim is crunchy, I cut all that off and I eat the sinner and she eats the rest

[00:18:24] Chuck: That’s funny. Yeah.

[00:18:25] Robbie: Uh, yeah, stuff like that. But, um, anyways, so what, if you had to say what your favorite cookies or holiday treat, I guess is what

[00:18:37] Chuck: I, I do like eggnog. I do look forward to eggnog and like to have that, and I’ll like to have the boozy version, uh, spoiler alert for all our listeners. I do like the boozy

[00:18:48] Robbie: Oh, learn something new

[00:18:50] Chuck: yeah. Yeah, so it turns like one cup into a thousand calories, so it’s, you know, it’s special occasion thing. , uh, it’s just so rich too.

[00:18:57] Chuck: It’s kind of like the pumpkin pie thing. You have [00:19:00] like one or two slices all holiday and you’re like, yeah, I’m good. Covered it. And I feel like eggnog is kind of similar to me. We’ll, like get one carton or maybe you go to a holiday party and there’s um, a little bit of like a punch kind of style version of it.

[00:19:15] Chuck: You have a little there and you’re like, okay, now I’m covered.

[00:19:19] Robbie: So I do it differently. I love eggnog as well, but I do like, I rarely do like a glass of eggnog. I use it for like creamer for coffee. So I get like a little bit of that flavor and I’ll do it for like, Every day of the holiday season . So it’s like not overpowering because it, like, it goes away. Like you probably already can’t get it almost at stores cuz they’re scared to death.

[00:19:43] Robbie: They’re gonna be like left with some they didn’t sell.

[00:19:46] Chuck: Yeah, of course. Yeah, I know we got ours already. It’s in our fridge,

[00:19:50] Robbie: yeah, we just got some today.

[00:19:52] Chuck: Okay. Nice. Yeah, I guess it is an improvement over pumpkin spice, which basically has taken over everything.

[00:19:57] Robbie: Yeah. Yeah. If, if you eggnog [00:20:00] flavor. , you know, X, Y, z I would like those things more than the pumpkin spice version, I would

[00:20:06] Chuck: All right. I have a genius idea. Okay. Have you ever had an a gado?

[00:20:11] Robbie: I sure have.

[00:20:12] Chuck: Okay, so if you had an eggnog ice cream that you did a espresso shot over

[00:20:17] Robbie: Ooh,

[00:20:17] Chuck: a fugato style, that would be

[00:20:19] Robbie: there you go. Yeah. I’m gonna have to find eggnog ice cream now.

[00:20:24] Chuck: or make it, I don’t, um, so yeah. Can we start ship shape culinary adventures and then I will make that

[00:20:35] Robbie: I mean, you can make whatever you want. We are probably not gonna wide scale distribute it

[00:20:42] Chuck: Right. Exactly. So I’ve made a bucket of ice cream. Um, I can really distribute it everywhere. So the people who buy it, it’s a thousand dollars a scoop, just trying.

[00:20:50] Robbie: it’s small

[00:20:51] Chuck: unique. Yeah. It’s a small batch. It’s very unique. I went out and got the cream myself from the store. That’s weird. [00:21:00] Yeah. holiday trivia.

[00:21:02] Chuck: So, uh, or holiday questions. What you got?

[00:21:06] Robbie: Um, let’s see. I’ve not sure which ones we haven’t done. There’s some that are like pointless. Like there’s, who was the author of a Christmas Carol? I feel like we know that. Um, there’s, there was another one about the Christmas Carol that was like, what was Scrooge’s first name? Like, I feel like we know that too.

[00:21:27] Robbie: Um,

[00:21:28] Chuck: make Duck e Ebenezer, just so people know I.

[00:21:34] Robbie: Yeah. And then there’s like another one that’s super easy, like which department store was featured in Miracle on 34th Street? Um, let me try to find a, I’m trying to find something. And this one I feel like is common knowledge, but, um, maybe not true or false. Christmas originally began as a pagan.

[00:21:58] Chuck: yes.[00:22:00]

[00:22:00] Robbie: Yep.

[00:22:00] Chuck: The birth of Jesus was in the spring and they scooted it back in order to work on the

[00:22:06] Robbie: Because they liked the trees.

[00:22:09] Chuck: Teresa, now it was about working on the spread of Christianity. You already celebrate at this time. Let’s steal it from you.

[00:22:15] Robbie: Yeah. Uh, What is the Yiddish word for spinning? Top as played on Hanukkah. Yeah.

[00:22:34] Chuck: dra dra dle. I made you at a clay. I’ve seen South Park.

[00:22:41] Robbie: I don’t think there’s really any questions that we missed. All the rest are like, Wait, hold on. Maybe we, I don’t think we did this one. Who was the first US president to recognize Hanukkah in the White House? Did we do that one?

[00:22:58] Chuck: Hmm. [00:23:00] Uh, no. Did not. And F D R.

[00:23:08] Robbie: Oh, Jimmy Carter.

[00:23:10] Chuck: Oh wow. 1976 ish. Huh?

[00:23:13] Robbie: 79. It says when had happened. Yeah.

[00:23:16] Chuck: how was, he came in an office in 76, so that’s why I was just like, sometime after that.

[00:23:22] Robbie: Yeah.

[00:23:23] Chuck: the bicentennial year.

[00:23:26] Robbie: Did we do this true or false? Hanukkah is the most popular Jewish holiday.

[00:23:31] Chuck: uh, no, but like, I’m gonna say it’s not, it’s a trick question. It’s

[00:23:36] Robbie: Yeah. I think it’s not too, yeah, Passover is the most

[00:23:39] Chuck: Hmm. Okay. See, but there

[00:23:43] Robbie: I’ve always heard that, like whenever there was a TV show or something, they would try to mention like, oh, let’s celebrate Hanukkah. Like they do Christmas. Like they would always be like, oh, it’s like not a big holiday. Like, all right. I don’t know.

[00:23:57] Robbie: There’s really no good questions left on here, so I could [00:24:00] do a different one. Find another one if you want some more holiday

[00:24:02] Chuck: Or find one technical tidbit or just because, so this can still be a web and whatnot. Show what’s your

[00:24:12] Robbie: I have the one technical thing that I keep forgetting to bring up that’s on our list here. Um, so this is gonna be a very underwhelming story because I don’t remember a lot of the details and a lot of it was like super physicsy, right? Uh, but there’s this computer, let’s say, Again, don’t know the terminology, but there’s this computer that like mimics real world physics, right?

[00:24:37] Robbie: So it’s like theoretically, um, a representation of what is possible. Like they try to do like, you know, particles hit each other and what happens Or like the, the latest thing that they did, which was like weird cuz it’s all on a computer, is they used those like bounds of physics that they were bound to and created a worm.[00:25:00]

[00:25:00] Robbie: like a black hole kind of thing, and sent data through it. And the other side of the wormhole received the data, which was like crazy because that’s been theoretical forever, is like you could go through a black hole and like get to the other side, right? And they’re like, no, you would just get obliterated is like what most people think.

[00:25:24] Robbie: but basically they’re proving that, uh, and I’m gonna get all this wrong too, but I think it’s like string theory as like everything’s connected by a string and it’s like this like thing that goes through kind of does get destroyed, right? But then something comes out the other side that’s been programmed by the information of the thing that was destroyed or something.

[00:25:43] Robbie: So it’s like,

[00:25:45] Chuck: Hmm. So it’s almost like Star Trek. teleporting

[00:25:50] Robbie: yeah.

[00:25:50] Chuck: they like, you know, they, you get disassembled and reassembled at the new New point.

[00:25:56] Robbie: Right. So like everyone’s really excited about it. Obviously [00:26:00] they don’t really know how it works cuz it wasn’t a theoretical computer thing, but it’s like they’re saying that this proves that you could basically, you know, create a black hole type of thing, go through it and be, you know, somewhere else that we don’t even.

[00:26:17] Robbie: you know, you could use it to travel very far potentially, or travel to other dimensions or whatever you might think is on the other side. But like everyone was like losing their minds. In this article I was reading, this was at like 3:00 AM when Finn decided he needed to be up yelling. So I was like scrolling through Twitter or something and there was a post about it and I went down the thread rabbit hole.

[00:26:39] Robbie: Um, yeah.

[00:26:41] Chuck: intensive purposes, and you came out the other side, a better human for it.

[00:26:46] Robbie: I guess, I don’t know. It was, it was cool. I was pleased to read about it, but I, again, there was a lot of technical details. You could probably go find it. Maybe the people that write up our show notes will somehow take these very little details I’ve [00:27:00] given you and find the posts about this thing and, and put it up here for you to read if you want.

[00:27:06] Chuck: I put it into chat, g p T, and it was not that helpful, um, not able to provide information about specific computer systems at Google. I’m a language mo model trained by OpenAI, and my knowledge is based solely on the text I’ve been trained on.

[00:27:19] Robbie: Google Wormhole simulator, or something like that?

[00:27:22] Chuck: Yeah, I tried a couple. Tell me about the wormhole on physics computer at Google and it’s like in general are hypothetical structures that can potentially provide a shortcut for traveling between two distant points and.

[00:27:35] Robbie: Hmm.

[00:27:36] Chuck: the final frontier.

[00:27:38] Robbie: Yeah.

[00:27:39] Chuck: oh, that’s an interesting thing. Just more into technologies that are from science fiction books, basically.

[00:27:49] Chuck: Yeah, that seems to, we’ve got some computers that will, smart computers that will talk back to us. We’ve got some robots coming along. It’s all getting [00:28:00] close to, uh, Skynet sooner or later.

[00:28:04] Robbie: Yeah. I mean, I just hope there are enough years of us enjoying it before they kill us all.

[00:28:09] Chuck: Yeah, can they like string us along for a little bit? Can like, you know, maybe it can be like my great, great grandchildren or something. I don’t really know them, so sorry.

[00:28:17] Robbie: Yeah, . Yeah. Like I’m think it would be really cool to have like a automated Taco Bell. You like go up and press the button and it just gives you all the food and no people had to do anything like that. Sounds cool.

[00:28:31] Chuck: Like the Jetsons, when they would just put it into like type into their oven machine thing, what they wanted and they would just manufacture

[00:28:38] Robbie: Well that came from the wormholes probably. There was the pill actually was nothing that they put in the microwave. And then a wormhole was like food

[00:28:45] Chuck: yeah. Just goes and gets one from someone else’s oven that’s finished and they end up with a pill. It’s what a shitty trade.

[00:28:53] Robbie: Yeah, there’s, there’s like another dimension of people that just keep trying to cook and they can’t because it gets replaced every[00:29:00]

[00:29:00] Chuck: then they take these like massive dehydrated pills of full meals and they’re like, Hmm, the, the schau berries taste like schau berries. So there is that. Interesting. Well, there we go. So just technology as a whole.

[00:29:16] Robbie: Yeah. Yeah. What do you want? We’ve done 10 episodes in a row, now we’re at the end. So, um, hopefully some of them were interesting, at least in parts. I think we had a few interesting discussions. I think some things were a little rough, but we’re learning,

[00:29:32] Chuck: So much less scripted than our usual episode. So sorry.

[00:29:37] Robbie: well, that’s sometimes good depending on what rabbit holes we go down, but, I think it was, it was the wrong amount of scripted. We tried to do a little too much,

[00:29:46] Chuck: yeah. Maybe just to like know. Yeah. Well.

[00:29:49] Robbie: and there were too many whiskeys, like, we’re like 15 minutes in for a whiskey. Anyway, but thanks everyone for making it through with us. Hope everyone’s having a great holiday season [00:30:00] and we will catch you sometime.

[00:30:04] Robbie: Um, I’m guess, I guess we’re back in January sometime. I don’t know when the next episode will hit. It’ll happen sometime.

[00:30:13] Chuck: this episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens. You could get all of your post whisky nutrition go to get a free hundred dollars package@athleticgreens.com slash whiskey web and whatnot.

[00:30:28] Robbie: Also brought to you by Neutrophil is your hair thinning. You should take these pills and they will help. Go to neutrophil.com/shipshape code We’ll see you later.

[00:30:43] Chuck: One.
