68.764 - 71.647 Ja Rule

What's good, man? Perfect. How are you, man? You good? Yes, sir.

71.667 - 75.071 Bert Kreischer

Yes, sir. So, Ja, you brought your liquor out with you, right?

75.111 - 83.259 Ja Rule

I did. I brought my new whiskey with me. We going to make a couple of drinks, you know? Yeah. Oh, we got some drinkers out there. OK. OK.

86.062 - 87.744 Bert Kreischer

So now, you have a whiskey, right?

87.864 - 89.626 Ja Rule

Yes, I have a whiskey. And you have a vodka.

Chapter 2: What are Ja Rule's thoughts on his whiskey investment?

100.013 - 104.099 Ja Rule

I'll tell the short version. During COVID, I was doing a lot of crazy investments.

0

104.62 - 107.844 Bert Kreischer

And so... I want to know what a Ja Rule crazy investment is.

0

108.986 - 121.434 Ja Rule

So... Is this my mic doing this crazy stuff? So, yeah. So crazy investments would probably feel like... I was doing a lot of... Crypto stuff, NFT stuff.

0

121.454 - 122.636 Ana Navarro

In the beginning?

0

122.656 - 148.284 Ja Rule

Yes, yes, yes. You made money. I did. I made some good money on it. I made some good money on it. But this came across our desk. It was a whiskey DAO. So anybody that knows anything about the crypto space, a DAO is a decentralized autonomous organization that was... It's a nuts thing. It's like everybody has voting rights to the company. And so everything that you vote on Everybody has to vote.

148.304 - 154.731 Ja Rule

So if we wanted to change, I don't know, the name of the company, everybody had to vote.

154.751 - 155.933 Bert Kreischer

It's like the Green Bay Packers.

155.953 - 173.914 Ja Rule

It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. So anyway. Sounds like a condo board. So anyway, we bought this warehouse full of whiskey. And our plan was to sell it. With your crypto money? No, no. We bought it with real money. We wanted real money. Actually, no. We did buy it with crypto money. Are you serious? We did buy it. We bought it with Ethereum. We bought it with Ethereum.

173.894 - 187.477 Ja Rule

And it was just a flip move. We were going to, you know, wait till we got to a seven-year period and then sell it at a premium, as a premium bourbon. But we had better plans once it got to our seven-year period and we started a company. So here we are.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of Challah bread in the conversation?

230.674 - 244.554 Ja Rule

Well, I wish you could tell that to my bones and my joints. Because I get up with all kind of aches and pains and stuff, man. Turning 50's been a different... Wait, can you talk for a second?

244.894 - 247.919 Bert Kreischer
