Ken! Congrats on season 2 of DR KEN!

Last time I met you (I'm a camera operator), you jokingly berated me for my liberal use of tilts and snap zooms, quote: "you're a mid-day drunk with a handheld, get over yourself!". Firstly I'm disappointed there aren't more wild 90's MTV camera swings and zooms in Dr Ken, you should do something about that. But really, I just wanted to thank you for being awesome and always being friendly with your fans and coworkers! It's much appreciated in this industry.

My question, THANKS MODS: Will you ever stop being awesome?

Yeah, there aren't many awards because the industry is scared to glorify people putting their lives on the line, which would lead to more amateur stuntpeople injuring or killing themselves "trying to get an award"

To properly award stunt crews it takes consideration of safety preparation, coordination, on-set conditions, and other more technical aspects that don't always work well with large-scale voting like the Oscars, etc. that are very big-picture.

To add to that, they have several buildings of rows and rows of barrels (cheers Jimmy). Depending on the location of the barrel in the building, sunlight and temperature over those years can affect the way the bourbon ages and therefore the flavor.

The cheap stuff is usually a mix of lots of barrels, which gives it a generally similar flavor no matter which bottle you pull off the shelf. When these guys find a barrel they love, it either becomes a 'single barrel reserve', or they reserve a few barrels in the same area of the building to become a highlight product.

Being on the other side of that for most of my childhood, I actually shuddered when I saw the picture....

Can you talk about the music licensing process a bit?
