I love how whenever the MR team are interviewing they really set the table for the interview to win. They don't try to out do or out funny but they just celebrate the guest they have. I have zero interest in wine making. However, I'll watch an MR interview just because I enjoy the art of the conversation.

Every single video you guys produce is always 100% exciting to watch! Keep it up guys !

[@BrandonJPearce]

Could you guys do an episode on life hacks for anxiety/getting your body out of fight or flight mode? In Hacking the System Brian had tips for nailing a job interview, that was brilliant. For instance the power posing to reduce nerves. Side note I always close my interviews with “Is there any reason you wouldn’t hire me?” and each time the interviewer says that’s a great question, and they’ve never heard anyone ask it before. Freaking brilliant.

[@danielr3310]

I second this! Calmness in the face of fear has to be a trait of any rogue, modern or otherwise.

[@faithdorey5919]

I found a list way back when about impressive questions to ask an employer and it's never failed me when I had to go in for an interview. What's scary for me is the trail by fire and I've managed 2 of those so far so idk

Your next adventure should be to Texas Hill Country Olive Oil Co. in Johnson City for cold pressed olive oil and balsamic vinegar. You have never had a great dessert until you've drizzled some of their traditional balsamic vinegar over a big bowl of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla. Really miss that since we moved to Colorado.

Day 2 of asking the rouges how to get away with murder and clean up a crime scene ..: for a friend

[@mrmacguff1n]

There's a small corner of Wyoming in Yellowstone where you can technically get away with murder

[@dirtwagon9041]

[@CanaanPoE]

@@dirtwagon9041 and they did an episode on bloodstain pattern analysis, in which they said more blood makes it much more difficult... and an episode on how to improvise carrying a body... and they have many episodes on homemade weapons...

[@danielr3310]

Sorry Travis but you gotta remember! 0:06

[@keithslack7717]

@@mrmacguff1n the section of land you are talking about is actually in Idaho. That’s where the issue comes from is because Yellowstone is a federal district and a jury must be selected from the federal district and the state in which the crime was committed. This little loophole is caused by the fact that there are no residents of idaho that also live in the Yellowstone federal district.

[@Arussiandoge]

I'm surprised you guys didn't ask about why the concrete barrels.

[@MrSam1er]

They breath like wood, but don't add a special flavor (ceramics work too). And they are egg shaped so that the fermentation process automatically mixes the contents of the barrel. Mainly used for white wine where I'm from.

[@faithdorey5919]

Well from some other episodes they already know that barrels impart flavor in aging it makes sense they could reason that concrete would be a more neutral "barrel" and impart much less flavor allowing the wine and its grapes to truly shine

[@HadronWolf]

I never realised how much of a tiny little baby man Brian is.

Did we ever find out why Jason stopped drinking? no hate, just genuine curiosity!

[@youruser6472]

I always thought it was because Jason was the designated driver

[@sum1liteamatch]

I have no idea, also have we figured out what happened to Jason in general?

[@Ege100100]

I wonder if he is a recovering alcoholic. Even when they used to make those coctails with Trevor, Brian was the only one tasting them. Not that it really is our business, good for him on quitting if this truly is the case.

Should do an episode about mead. There are a lot of meaderys that you can probably get into this. I’ve been making mead (honey wine) for awhile now.

They made one a while back.

[@iamconio]

have enjoyed the last couple of episodes really cool showing how the stuffs made

[@dingus153]

You need to do a coffee episode at some point. The flavours can be more complex and varied than wine, though it comes more from the actual growing of the fruit.

[@Chronos5618]

Step 1) Make wine Step 2) take dregs from wine, and distill in a stone basin in the ground Step 3) repeat distilling 2 more times Step 4) You've made Tsikoudia, a traditional Greek desert drink! The italian version is grappa, and the turkish version is raki. Tsikoudia is extremely delicious

Love Cory's intro: "resident adult"

[@neufeldr1]

I think the next things you guys should do are Jerky and pemmican. Jerky is obvious and I'm rather surprised you guys haven't done it yet. Pemmican Is an amazing survival food that was apparently used as emergency rations in the world wars. it can be plain meat and tallow. but I wanna see you guys flavour it with berrys and whatever else you can come up with.

[@ToxicRoachX50]

I don't have any concrete knowledge but I know that the acidity can affect the yeast or whatever is producing alcohol so I'm sure it's possible just really tough unless you balance the acidity with something alkaline or you have really resilient yeast.

[@tzisorey]

@@ToxicRoachX50 Just did a bit of google-fu and tomatoes, while acidic, are less acidic than lots of other fruit used to make alcohol - such as grapes, apples, peaches, and strawberries. (The information seems most readily available with regard to tinning/preserving the fruit, since acids eat the metal - but pH is pH)

@@tzisorey you're right I Googled too apparently someone also made wine using Tomato Paste and Yeast. But yeah but what I read is that it's more usual to use fermented tomatos to make distilled alcohol then wine cause the taste.
