Hey, this is Rob Dietrich, master distiller for Black and American Whiskey.

Listen to Metal Up Your Podcast. Feel I'm Ethan Luck.

And for another week, it's just going to be me without Clint.

And for those that may not know, Clint explain this to the patrons in a very well-worded, beautiful message to everybody.

Unfortunately, Clint and his wife have been going through some stuff uh one of his wife's best friends uh is no longer with us

and uh obviously as you can imagine it's been really tough in uh the wells household and uh the positive here

and everyone keep them in your thoughts, and your prayers, whatever you got.

They're dealing with a lot.
