⛤ June Q&A (Patreon)

Hi! I am finding myself with some time on my hands during my night shift after struggling with the unpredictable nature of creative work. Last night I managed to read all the on screen lines for my next video, tonight I got all of three sentences between nonstop AC units and I am not happy. So before I move on to my workout and shower routine aswell as packing up today's raspberry chocolate brioche for sale, I thought I'd take a moment to answer your questions this month. 

What’s your favorite kind of whiskey? I like rye whiskey. The bold flavor has more character than most bourbons and makes for a robust sour. Though my go-to budget option is Jim Beam double oak twice barrelled bourbon. The characteristic Jim Beam bourbon punch infused with the groundedness of oak wood achieves a similar result in cocktailing. It's what I put in my fudge, too. Both my cocktails and my fudge suited to people who like to taste the whiskey. If that is your preference, my tip is to use 3/4 of the recommended amount of sweet and sour mixer in your drink. 

Those stones in your new video are very beautiful. Where did you get them? I purchased both the labradorite and black moonstone from my local esoteric shop. I do use them as massage stones so they are more than merely a prop! Maybe in my next spa video I'll use my larvikite and shungite massage wands, too. 

Does Jack play D&D? He used to, but by now he has gotten rid of all his old D&D stuff from back in the day due to lack of interest, time and active local players. And possibly because he has more video games than he could ever play and prefers those anyway. 

What song would your entrance theme be? It could be your favorite, or a song that describes you, or both. Both would be hard to do, as I feel the songs I like do not describe me very well. Depending on the day, I may land on either Black no.1 by Type O Negative or the Snake River Conspiracy cover of How Soon Is Now. The former has the right vibe for my personality, but the lyrics only half describe me. I am not about little wolfskin boots and clove cigarettes. I also don't laugh when called evil, but generally roll my eyes at some people's willful ignorance and lack of discernment between dark and evil, or "goth" and "satanic". The somewhat discordant tunes of the latter also describe my general aura and I love that the bold industrial rock version takes a somewhat sad and tragic song and puts a nihilistic spin on it, paradoxically lifting you out of the depression the lyrics evoke and the lively electric guitar instilling the will to live in spite of life's hardships and disappointments. It is a version of the song that has been hardened against the fatality of its core message and I like it. Which one do you think suits me better? I now have an ear worm of both. Yes, at the same time. 

Thank you for posting your questions for June. The July question dump will be available in July. Stay safe out there. These temperatures are getting crazy and I am not looking forward to trying to record with more AC noise pollution but, alas, I will try. Make sure to drink a lot of water and consume a lot of sodium. That's all for today
