Hi Greg, im the creator of the Broken Glass cocktail, and im so glad you liked my drink (despite you not liking Islay's). Just to touch on your feedback, which is much appreciated btw, about it being "confused" as it's a sour you can't drink in 4-5 sipps. I can tell you from personal experiance as an Islay lover that that has never been a problem for me, so it's safe to say it's really a drink for people who already love smokey scotch. That being said, the fact I got a rum lover to like an Islay based cocktail I'll take as a huge W. Thank you so much for featuring me, kind regards from Frewell (a very happy norwegian)

So there was this question I saw recently about how finding a band who has done one or two great records is easy enough. The true challenge is finding one that has done beneath three to five consecutive great albums (depending on how hard you want to challenge yourself). I'd wager Jethro Tull is one of the few I can think of - Stand Up, Benefit, Aqualung, Thick as a Brick, and A Passion Play. Absolutely killer stuff, shame the late eighties and nineties were quite unkind. 😂

Meredith's being freaked out at eternity hits personally for me. I used to have to open my eyes when I was trying to go to sleep because the reference-less void of my eyes being closed made me feel like I was in a void that I always felt like was some form of eternity. Never ending, never changing because even if things change on a small basis, in comparison to the whole, it's insignificant...

1) I really enjoyed the mailbag episodes, as it turned into more of a workshop on how to bring balance into a cocktail. As a complete amateur when it comes to making drinks, these two episodes have been insightful on how to tweak things to get them juuust right, or at least to one's preference (which you fully admit). 2) Some deaths in my family over the last few years and certain media I've consumed have helped a bit with that "death awaits us all" thoughts that come usually late at night. Though depression has also compelled me to do a lot of mindfulness stuff that also helps me process those thoughts. Shit's wild, so let's our enjoy our time while we can and take care of each other. Cheers.

Depends on your worldview and beliefs. As a Christian orthodox that does his best to be a good one, I can't wait to die xD It's strange. I want more time in order to really fix myself. But I also wanna find piece/relax and learn if I really am good and , if not, what mistakes are the ones damning me the most xD If you don't believe in an afterlife, or if the afterlife you belive in is not one you'd like, and it's not feasible for you to chase... Then I could see how you'd reach an existential crisis at 25. I'm 24 myself. And afterlife brigns me Comfort. The belief that each hardship is just an other chance to chase/earn paradise. And that if God had forsaken me, then he wouldn't have been giving me so many obstacles for me to try and overcome.😅 Did I help? I get the feeling that I didn't

@possible_ghost Жыл бұрын

Lol, same. 24 and happens all the time. Was terrified of aging and dying since like, 10, and always been super confused by the idea of not wanting to be immortal. Think it might be because I've seen three different family members (grandma, great grandma, great grandpa), and a family friend go through severe dementia and die. Really hard not to be aware of just how rough the whole process is in that case. And then there is the whole knowledge that there are so many things I'll never get to know or do... Also, depression and suicidal intrusive thoughts didn't help much on that front either.

(If feeling saucy, add a couple dashes of either Ginger or Orange bitters, it's a nice touch) Muddle basil into shaker add ice and shake, I prefer the basil bits in the drink, but you can double strain if you want it clean.

I only have an internal monologue for rehearsing things I want to say out loud. For non-monologue purposes (mainly just entertainment) I can also use other people's voices for some things, like having one singer do a cover of another singer's song, or have a comedian deliver a joke in their own style. Otherwise I have little use for words inside my mind. Words represent concepts, and it's easier for me to just strip things down to the bare concepts instead of needlessly dressing them up with a language. Internally I find language almost entirely redundant, it's just a tool for external communication. The consequence of this is that spoken language doesn't come as naturally to me as it does for some, I lose track of a lot of words. I essentially keep words and their meanings in separate file cabinets next to each other, have to quickly re-connect them in order to have a conversation out-loud. Like using a converter to play modern video games on an old TV, the conversion process causes a small delay.

I have no DESIRE to die, but the reason that I'll push it off for as long as I can isn't because I'm afraid of what happens when my life is OVER.

@@farkasmactavish IMO, I do not believe there is any inherent meaning in life, or death, or much of anything. What gives life meaning is simply what we feel personally is meaningful. The idea that without death life would be meaningless always bothered me. Is it only because life is temporary that people spend time with friends? Love? Make art? Write? Explore the world? Learn? Enjoy art? Enjoy nature? I find that very difficult to believe. I do not do those things because I fear death, or otherwise because my time is limited, or anything like that. I do them because they make me happy. And I see no reason why I would stop doing things that make me happy were I to never die. In fact, I think it might even make it easier to do those things! I don't want to rush through life to hit a checklist of experiences and accomplishments, I want to be able to take my time and do things as I feel I am ready to do them, while giving them my full attention. The idea of a deadline simply adds an underlying layer of stress to everything. Also the idea of not being able to do the things that make me happy anymore is deeply depressing to me. I've always hated being told I should be grateful for death, because without it "life would be meaningless". I don't care about whether life is meaningful, I care about whether it's good. I did enjoy Unnus Annus though, even if I didn't agree with the more philosophical part.

I wanted to see how much alcohol a dash of bitters actually adds to a no-abv cocktail: assume the cockatil is 150ml of liquid in total; there's 0.92ml in a dash of bitters (says google); angostura bitters have 44.7% abv; 1 dash of bitters results in 0.27% ABV 2 dashes of bitters result in 0.54% ABV 3 dashes of bitters result in 0.81% ABV also keeping in mind that normal fruit juices have up to 0.1-0.9% ABV just from natural fermentation.

I can't remember off the top of my head the researcher that did the follow-up to the study you mention about internal monologues, but they gave all of their participants an earpiece that would beep at random times and when it did they were supposed to stop whatever they were doing and write down whatever they happen to be thinking at the time and he found that if he did this for long enough eventually every single participant of his study, even the ones who claims to have no internal monologue when the study began, eventually realize that they did have some sort of an internal monologue and they just hadn't been paying attention before.

Greg, long time watcher, first time commenter. Love your stuff. If you’re taking more comment suggestions, please try making the Leather and Tweed. They used to make this at The Edison at Disney Springs in Florida. They don’t seem to have it on the menu anymore. 2 oz bonded bourbon, they used Knob Creek. Works well with mellow corn too apparently 1/2 oz branca menta 1/4 oz simple syrup 1/2 oz of Islay scotch or something smokey. The Edison used Caol Ilà but something like Ardbeg or Laphroaig would be great. Stir until desired dilution is reached. Had it once, and have never forgotten it since

I've had the same progression as Meredith with my existential crises. I had my first ones at around 8, and they all involved being freaked out about the idea of existing forever. Then some time around my early teenage years it switched to being terrified of oblivion and nothingness. Thankfully for a while now I haven't been hung up on that fear, though I'm only in my early 20s, I'm sure as I age I'll think about it more often. It helps that I've started to become more of an afterlife-agnostic, while before I was certain there was nothing after death

An inner monolog, for those who don't understand, is simply just hearing your own voice as thoughts, and if you can hear it, you're an anomoly, which I am able to experience my own form of it and it's not always my voice it can be any voice you've ever heard at any point in your own life

I cannot remember my ratios off the top of my head but I've made one a few times I call a "villa vicodin". It's more of an aperitif since it only uses Caravello orange liquer with liquer 43 shaken together, poured on ice and topped with just a splash of lemon lime soda. Even better is if its done during the holidays when you can get the cranberry Sierra mist. I'm sure you can elevate it since it's just something I worked out about 10 years ago. It's always been a hit since you get orange, Vanilla, and spices playing with each other. But with it being so sweet and no base spirit it's basically the strength of an after dinner wine

I started getting the "midnight panic" every once in a while a few years ago, except it would happen during the day at random times when I was alone. I'm 36, and I actually get it more often now as I get older. Except, for me, it's less "how many years do I have left?" and more "what if there is no afterlife and our current consciousness is literally ALL THERE IS for us, and it's just dreamless sleep forever and ever after we die?" Existential crises are a real bitch.

Hey Greg! Been following your channel for a while, you put me onto Redbreast 12-year, thank you! See if you can find an Irish whiskey called "Writer's Tears", it's tremendous. I work in a dispensary so your dank reference piqued my interest! You'd probably get a kick out of looking into "terpenes", naturally-occurring compounds that define the flavor, aroma, and effects of plants, including Mary Jane! Actually hops are usually packed with a terpene called "Humulene" which can also be found in the sticky icky, it helps reduce the feeling of munchies. I'm a big fan of clear-headed, functional sativas that don't feel anxious or jittery, and it sounds like you are as well - if you have access to the strain info, keep an eye out for high levels of Pinene (pine: helps focus & attention), Limonene (citrus: provides mental energy), and Linalool (lavender: helps calm the mind, reduce anxiety). Hope this helps bring you back into the present!
