Thanks for watching, guys! This video was different from normal, but sharing whisky is often the stage for good stories, so let me know if you have any wild stories you like to tell over a dram of whisky!

[@b1gsteve251]

Seriously, more like this in 2024. It’s great to have a pour and hear interesting stories!

[@emieloss7229]

The illustrations, the sounds, the story telling. This was brilliant!

[@cack64]

I had always chalked the pinky down to overly intense enthusiasm. Now I know, but I don't believe the blanket story. Phil, they were coming for the whisky and they changed their story when you confronted them.

[@FirstPhilWhisky]

😂

[@laurentsteck6086]

What a story Phil! Incredible... Thanks for sharing

[@FirstPhilWhisky]

Thanks mate!

[@superodfx]

Playing wrestling on Sega master drive one weekend my brother tackled me and we both went through the window, the top of my foot had to be patched with skin from my bum-and the name bum-foot followed

[@FirstPhilWhisky]

[@81mysharona]

😂🤣🤣

[@NWsmallbatchBrewing]

Wow what a nightmare.

[@FirstPhilWhisky]

I know right!

[@steeno1985]

Wow, crazy story Phil, thanks for sharing. I think many of us have something like that. I can't straighten my left arm from a dislocated and fractured left elbow trying to skateboard at a party after a few drinks when I was younger - very silly. Also, a left leg 2.5cm shorter than the right from a RTC in The middle of nowhere on a scooter in Spain. Thankfully the car that hit us stopped as my foot was at a right angle to my leg. Ouch! Glad you feel able to share and you can still raise a dram. Cheers to your hairy pinky 🥃

[@FirstPhilWhisky]

Oh whoa! That’s nuts! Yeah thank goodness for that 😅🥃

[@b1gsteve251]

Your new name is FirstBorneWhisky. That’s a badass story and happy your mostly okay ✅

[@011humphrey]

When I was 16 I cut the tendens of my right pink and ringfinger in a incident involving a knife (to long story). It took me 2 surgeries and about a year of physio to recover but luckily it all worked out and my fingers have almost full function as I was lucky that the tendens retracted not to far, the only bad outcome of it all was that I can't play the guitar anymore. But I can relate to the adrenelinerush you get and feeling the pain after you calm down.

[@tjdinfl]

Thank you for sharing. It’s not like we didn’t notice the finger, so thanks. Very nice production on the video as well!

[@McIntyresMalts]

Hectic story mate, thanks for sharing. Brilliant story telling and visuals too

[@cyrano33]

Love the new theme and compelling story. Keep it up Phil!

[@christophermorkel.1955]

Very crazy story! Thanks for sharing part of your life with us❤

[@cloudymccloud00]

Blimey, a dram drama indeed, Phil! And well told - with very impressive illustrations! 👍🥃

[@themarco-fr]

Wow, intense story, thank you for sharing Phil, Happy New Year ✨

[@billwallace1199]

Wow! Crazy story Phil. Glad you are doing better. Thanks for sharing!

[@FirstPhilWhisky]

Thanks for watching!

[@kurtludington5986]

😮😮😮 Holy cow Phil! Incredible story! Well done!

[@WhiskyNeighbour]

Well told Phil, seriously, well told. Glad you are OK and wow, that was wild!

[@sideshowonacid]

🤣🤣🤣 this hits home a little to hard. Glad you are ok and no one else got hurt.

[@Edgar-Friendly]

Wow, you liked by Jake and Beth Heke back in the day!

[@81mysharona]

I saw where this story was going right away because my dad has a similar thing. He stuck his hand into a blender when he was young and dumb. They grafted skin from his inner thigh to his fingers and he has the same scar patch as you, except on his thigh. Thankfully he didn’t lose functionality or anything but one of the fingers has only a mangled sliver of a nail, the rest won’t grow. Incidentally, my dad also ran in front of a moving swing and got his front teeth knocked out by the kid on the swing when he was 8. He’s been wearing dentures ever since as those were his permanent teeth. I bring this up to say that the incidents really changed him. He is the most overly cautious and stern person I know, not the kind to engage in horseplay at all, but I saw a b&w photo of him as a child and he was extremely rambunctious and naughty. Up until I saw that photo, I couldn’t imagine him any other way and couldn’t identify with him. Seeing that photo suddenly humanized him and so much now made sense. He was just like me as a kid. Also, my dad is a PhD in high energy physics. He is literally a nuclear physicist who worked on satellites. So apparently even really really smart people can be really really dumb as well. Doesn’t that make you feel better about yourself now? 😁😇

[@budj13]

Wow, what a story! Fortunately, they were friendly, and things didn't go even more badly. Our hands are actually amazing and complex machines. Well produced dram drama.

[@Koby616]

Thought it was recently, glad you are fine ☺️ crazy story, but was fun listing to it. Did you take idea from Daniels story time?

[@Nasosdag]

So... your hand got messed up, and you had to endure surgeries, physio and a world of pain and trouble, because some idiots thought it would be funny to spook you and your flatmate? Τhat is why I hate practical jokes. They are not funny. At all. And can go horribly wrong. The pranksters also show no consideration at all about what the person at the receiving end of a stupid joke may be going through and how he/she might react. I am sorry you had to go through this, mate. And thanks for sharing.

[@chaisheng0627]

Damn enjoyed this way more than I thought haha

[@danmoore3444]

that's wild. adrenaline is one hell of a drug

[@FirstPhilWhisky]

Crazy right!

[@joeJoe-pb3su]

Crazy story. I am glad you are ok.

[@jimlim]

This might be irrelevant, but first of all, I enjoy watching your videos, some are really informative, learnt a lot about whiskies from your channel, love the illustrations and style in your videos! I have recently just gotten a Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 14, realized that you haven't cover port cask whisky. Could you make a video about port cask and some of the whisky recommendations?

[@Cezary_The_FLY_Mucha]

Hey buddy First Phil Whisky .That story was very fascinating and like from a good thriller or a thriller movie. Thanks for that Phil Slanth and Na zdrowie from Poland

[@FirstPhilWhisky]

Thanks so much!

[@thewhiskyenthusiast]

Oh man what a story! I mean hilarious prank but I bet this put an end to their pranking days after seeing you covered in blood!

[@jaredlowry970]

The most shocking part of this story is the revelation that New Zealand has crime.

[@jethroroy]

Good story! My weirdest one is how I got 5 stiches on my face because of a disco ball

[@FirstPhilWhisky]

Whoa!

[@indianpeathead2043]

You should become a filmmaker

[@otterlyfresh2886]

Damn, what bad timing on that prank! You were already on edge because of the neighbours.

[@petemc4190]

ah mate, I tip my arran 10 to your hairy pinky finger for sharing that one

[@richardagnew4959]

Dram dramas ... Phil, that could be a new thing ... :)

[@FirstPhilWhisky]

Yeah true. Maybe other whiskytubers should start telling their dram drama story

[@Nicolas_Allende]

Not the first one to say this but yeah, can Dram Dramas become a thing? Also I want DBZ related whisky content if that is possible 😂

[@FirstPhilWhisky]

Ha definitely!

[@lucthiollet8969]

Hi, I write you this comment because I need some advice to create my own KZbin channel. I am one of your French listeners and I have to watch only English content about whisk(e)y to find something or someone interesting. So I have the idea to create my own French whisk(e)y channel to share my passion with all the French community. But I have never created any content on KZbin and I am a little scary about what to do and how to do it. So have you got any advices that can help me in my project ? And thank you for what you do with your channel every videos are great and interesting I love it.

[@HannesHanath]

What I wanna know is, what is that watch? 😄

[@iyadaboukhzam363]

Sorry 🙏🙏🙏

[@Johncaruso-mo8qm]

Hi : I hope your next video is informative about whisky🤪

[@FirstPhilWhisky]

Oh yes you won’t be disappointed. It’s a long complicated one I’ve been working on for 4 months. Similar to my history of scotch video. Stay tuned!
