Speaker:We got a lot to get to Coley and I are fresh off of our loggerville trip, which I can't wait to share about It looks like a freaking blast guys. Yeah, I'm counting on the day. So next year already Sunday was something else But Saturday was sure a lot of fun A
Speaker:Chew has left us a voicemail. We got some booze news to get to And yeah, let's get right into I'm feeling way too sober as you can tell my lack of ability to speak I swear those will make it better words, dude Words are for losers
Speaker:Oh Beer loving indeed I talked about this a week or two ago that I took a little Central coast trip and on the way back as I apt as I normally do I stopped at there does not exist This is one of the four packs. I picked up. This is hello. We're here. I
Speaker:Like it very brave. I it is a New England IPA 7% has a 406 on tapped and strap in for this one Double dry hop citra mosaic Idaho seven and Simcoe. Okay, okay, that's it. Yeah
Speaker:So on the schnoz first of all great color, I hope flex can a little Looks very nice sexy ass bright hazy Straw color. What am I picking up on the schnoz that like pineapple? I just smell dank. There's quite a bit of dank
Speaker:I'm trying to sniff through and I can't on the tongue on the tongue job or a So much dank it's like smooth hazy dank finishes Deliciously makes me not want to stop drink. I just keep drinking more. I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm gonna sample good tasting for you
Speaker:Yeah, I've had a lot of mine already. I just keep it's like juice but not it. I don't even know Yeah, there's some a lot of citrus on there some juicy like orange juicy qualities I don't know about the pineapple that I was smelling. I don't I don't taste it So clearly I'm on crack but it is so easy to drink and so dangerous at 7%
Speaker:Because I could just pound a few of these and be like so is that is that one of the beers they had on tap? That you pre tasted. Yeah and check that it was in cans Wanted to make sure I could taste it so I could potentially buy it What a brilliant concept by the way
Speaker:Yeah Every time I go in there and all those breweries where I'm like just driving through I'm like, alright Can the draft list what a you know compare contrast? What can I what crosses over? What's the middle circle of the Venn diagram? I gotta tell you what I do the opposite I will drink
Speaker:Set like certain beers While I'm at the brewery and then I will always try and find something different that I didn't drink to take home Sure, I will do that like at local breweries where I know I can come back and stuff But when I know I'm only there like once every six months or something like I want to I want to make sure something good
Speaker:I mean there does not exist pretty trustworthy I don't think I'm gonna get some shitty from there But I just want to make sure it's something I enjoy so I can get a couple different things and bring them back with yeah I guess that makes sense when you're not Usually there. Yeah, no But god damn do I love those guys? Yeah, they don't make a bad beer. I haven't had one yet
Speaker:I haven't either and do they know how good they are. I don't know I feel like they do I mean they're hyper. Yeah, I mean we've we've talked to bags their sales guy And I mean he knows I assume the brewer knows that he's fucking kick-ass Keith I know we met him too, right? Yeah, we did
Speaker:He's that there's none or he's at the locker room over the weekend, too We in fact we sort of had there is not exist the night before locker So let's get into the locker bill Oh real quick this week Thursday if you're listening to this as it drops on Wednesday tomorrow Is the live show at BC BC in Ventura so if you want to come do the live show?
Speaker:It's with daughters of Nikkasi so send us an email mail crappy report comm or sign to our DMS because seating is limited There's a few spots left. Let me know or let Jerry know Alright, so logger Ville festival up in Bealton, California. It's a couple hour drive for us. We reserved a spot at the
Speaker:Flying flying flags you guys it's like an RV resort You hauled up the trailer. Yeah, and you know The hotels are so overpriced on festival weekends and $400 for like a Hilton Yeah, and it just it was not yeah, the Hampton was like three should be illegal. Mm-hmm, and it is
Speaker:It's like always festival weekends that they're way more expensive. I know they know that you don't want to drive home after that. Yeah Oh god Yeah, so we we roll up there we got there To we got there Friday night and
Speaker:What like around 839 something like that like enough time to set up and then start drinking and so we started getting things set up And Nick's getting the trailer put together and we started pulling out some beers and then we here and out of nowhere Hey fuckers Wiley found us from So
Speaker:Hammered hammer he borrowed a map because I give you a map when you check in not more He ran into a campsite was like talking. I'm sorry. So was he staying at the hotel that was directly next door Okay, they're like the same property, but the owners are the same. Yeah, it seems that way
Speaker:So like he stumbles into a campsite starts So I need to find 339 and just starts talking to them and petting their dog and shit They ended up giving him the map that you get when you check in to like find your campsite So that all scary movies start. Yeah
Speaker:And then then once he found our campsite it was like he was like the tour guide he knew where everything was Come look at the stage come look at the bar come look at the bocce ball bocce ball Yeah, he's and on the left. You'll see the backside of water. I mean it was like the jungle crew
Speaker:It was really funny and then he'd said sometimes at like 1 o'clock in the morning He'll leave the sideways in and come sit on the stage by himself Sit under this Day he had zero recollection He was so funny. So here's the best part. So we he's like, let's go get one beer at the sideways lounge
Speaker:We're like, you know what? That's perfect cuz you're really fucking loud and it was getting late They have like noise ordinance at 10. Yeah after 10 you guys shut it and he was just getting louder and louder. He was pretty hydrated So we went to the sideways lounge and then Greg can continue the story about our there did not really exist beer
Speaker:Yeah, I don't think it does exist. Yeah, we were looking at the tap handles cuz I didn't have a beer list I was like, oh I see a TD any beer like let's get that cuz I was like, hey, you know first rounds on me Whatever. So I told like hey, there's not exist or there goes All right, so he apparently orders there is not exist says it to pale ale. We get it
Speaker:I'm an unfiltered unfiltered pale ale, which I've had it's the one I brought back in cans for you And it's delicious and while it's not hazy It's got a little you know You can't totally see through it and he hands it to us and it is this very West Coast looking beer and like whatever
Speaker:We drank it. It was fine. I was pretty sure it wasn't that but it tasted familiar to me I was like, oh, this is delicious. Yeah, I was like, I know I was like Yeah, so we finished that and I was like, hey guys I'll get the next round and head up there with big dick Nick and said hey
Speaker:We want that there does not exist five of them, please and she goes. Oh the lager, right? No, no, we just had the the pale the pale from there is not exist Yeah, we don't have one of those on tap. I said, all right I put I was like the drunk guy over there in the corner just ordered us that there does not exist unfiltered pale She goes no, I didn't he ordered you a fig mountain mosaic
Speaker:That's my favorite flagship beer of fig mountains because I'm a mug member and that's what I always get I was like no wonder I knew We're getting awesome. I haven't questioned it was like are you a hundred percent sure and she goes absolutely We only have one tap from there is an ox this and it's a lager. I was like, well, we'll take that
Speaker:Which was a hellish lager or something. We took that. Yeah. Oh, so great I was like, well the drunk guy swore as a pale she goes. Well, he's the drunk guy. I was like you are correct Why well played lady? Well, we were laughing so hard. Oh great. We got back. I'm like what? I think I got him the mosaic again
Speaker:Didn't I think I got four loggers and I mosaic and then he started looking at it like these are different colors. Oh It's great. Good times. Yeah, it was fun. So yeah, we had a couple beers there made a way back Saturday was logger ville With Monica from pedals showed up Cheer beer showed up with his wife and his sister. Of course Wiley was there steve-o and Melissa your friends
Speaker:Yes came up my friends Ian and Lauren came up. They live in Lompoc. So not a not a far trip and Neck-nosh sent us a butt ton of pretzels. Yeah, that was super rad. I saw the videos about that Yeah, it was great. And it was funny like everyone was coming up to us like she's not joking when she says they're like hey
Speaker:Where'd you get your pretzels from? Where'd you get your pretzels from? So we handed out like a hundred neck-nosh stickers that Every single one hundred but and then I had a couple little postcard things too and I gave most of those out as well and I was like, well, you can't get them here and people are like we buy yours off of you
Speaker:I was like, absolutely not. Yeah, this is gonna save my life later and it did The meat's 30 bucks and it's yours. Yeah, exactly and I get to eat half of it first Yeah, it was um, it was crazy. How many people wanted pretzel necklaces? Hopefully these people actually reach out to
Speaker:Erica cuz I hope sounds really awesome. We did our best to plug it at a plugger stuff and that sounds dirty, but yeah I'll stop with that now But the event itself was awesome. I Pleasantly surprised I've never been to loggerville. It's like the third one. They've done. I think same never been
Speaker:I will say the bathroom situation was fine. The bathrooms were always clean at least the ones I went into they were port-a-potties Yeah, they didn't get too bad. I do have one complaint though I think I have it to water Yeah there was not enough water on site and They the brewers had a bunch of packs to like rinse glasses and I remember at the end being like I think I went up
Speaker:to this name Ryan from Tarantula Hill sure. I think I went up to him and Ryan or not Ryan. Yeah, I had asked him for water I don't remember. I was asking everybody if they wanted to come back to our campsite and party with us I got some guys number. I don't even know
Speaker:Does Nick know this I don't even know He text me that It was so lovely meeting you let's hang out. I was like, let's not let's not Like I still always have my big fucking wedding ring on my finger. I was just being drunk and friendly
Speaker:That's awesome. And I couldn't I was like out of a lineup couldn't even I have no idea what this guy looks like no idea Yeah, but everybody from our group came back and partying was a good time. But the festival itself besides the water situation really good selection of breweries
Speaker:And this is one of those festivals that apparently like the brewers wanted to go to I think you know because they all love loggers secretly like all brewers hate making IPAs and They all wanted to be it's like almost every booth had the actual brewer at the booth, which was cool
Speaker:So I started talking some of these guys kind of different. Yeah. Yeah, it was kind of it's kind of like we go to Firestones Fest to get a lot of the brewers not just like some rando brewery rep there It's very true talked to a lot of you know, Alvarado Streets brewer Biggie talked to Julian from Beach
Speaker:I mean talking to every it was great. They're all there and it was a lot of fun. It was so much fun It was set up great. Yeah Somebody asked me at the end of the day like what was your favorite beer? I don't fucking know man, but I will say I was most pleasantly surprised by this place called lager nerds
Speaker:And apparently they're in Agora, I never heard of them people were asking Laura That's I think that's what their sign said they're in Agora, which is down near us and like John from integrals like what's your favorite day? And I was like, I don't know but I told about us and he's I never heard Those guys I was like nobody has but they had a West Coast pills. That was so fucking good. Really?
Speaker:Yeah, I gotta look this up now. I'm I'm so I don't even know if they have a spot yet Like starting and New are they old are they just like never heard of them? I I think they're not existing yet is my guess there there does not exist
Speaker:For them, but one word. Well, I think it was to logger nerds Maybe it's a homebrew club. I mean, I don't even fucking know man. It was weird, but they had a great West Coast pills I mean look there's a lot of great beers. I just was most pleasantly surprised from them I was also nice. I made friends with Biggie over at Alvarado Street. He's like, well break from loggers
Speaker:I got some IPAs in here and some cans. I was like, I will take one of those please Nice use a little hop in my life at this point So I was all about those dark loggers anyone that had a dark logger. I was like fill my cup Yeah, oh about those check darks. Oh my god. My Bruin was there
Speaker:They had their check dark and their collab check dark with society, which was dry hopped And who else Oh T Hill had a dark logger I think Enneagrin had their American Heights Was a lish there was a brewery where their sticker was like look like the Amazon smile
Speaker:They were from they were from New Zealand. I think Australia. Oh, oh, I think and I'll say the same I'll say it's the same thing just to piss. Yeah And I think it was Monica Go have them pour your beer and just have the man talk to you. No, that was me. Was it you that was me?
Speaker:So see, I don't even remember because John told me they had good beer John from it again I went over there and I was like, hey guys, you know, let me try whatever and I had no idea They're Ozzy and the one dude starts talking. I was like, I'll have all the beer. Yeah sexy. Yeah, so sexy Yeah, I will drink all the Bud Lights to hang out with them
Speaker:That accent man and the beer was good too I For what I blacked out and had a boner but and our our local brewery Institution in Camarillo. They won. I think the dark lager cup. Yes, cuz Melissa and I Have a picture of us holding the trophy next to did they then drink their dark lager out of the cup?
Speaker:I hope so. I mean we didn't that would be a flex. That would be a flex flex But they had it sitting on top of the jockey box and Crazy story so Steve. Oh went to school Steve on Melissa Steve. I went to school with the head brewer Todd and Todd's wife works with my best friend
Speaker:So it's like small world. I know him. They're like two different people. Mm-hmm I'm sorry, you just said jockey box and I immediately thought of Is that how owners? Ordered jockeys, you know, it's like they go online and they shop for jockeys and then a little tiny jockey gets sent in a little tiny
Speaker:box It's kind of like those like man crates, you know, you order but instead to jockey Something yeah, I think you nailed it
Speaker:Really we could do some edge in that ordering like a jockey and you get a box at your door you open it off And this is a little man That would be amazing Next box shows up. It's the horse Called Right, yes, okay. Yeah, you pour the beer out of yeah. Yeah, okay
Speaker:Yeah, I think that's about it for why did I miss anything no, oh god we had a dance party at night So after the party was the after party and after that was the Hotel yeah, yeah, we had to pick up some beers on the way back, which I'm sure was the worst idea ever
Speaker:Yeah, but we picked up a ton of beer. We already had some beer. We head back start barbecue and start drinking It was basically all of us and at one point like we were blasting some Mickey Avalon my dick. Oh You know what song I'm talking about flex I
Speaker:Don't my dick is bigger than yours. Yoda and just goes on and on like that. No, I've never heard this song. Okay we were blasting it and Nick's got quite the system on the outside of that trailer and this old lady from across the way starts yelling over and Shannon's like
Speaker:fuck she's gonna tell us to turn off our extremely offensive music or something and Like huh, so Nick and Shannon start walking over and Shannon goes. I'm sorry What'd you say and she goes what song is that and Shannon's like? Oh fuck she goes. Oh, it's Mickey Avalon She goes what's the song called without missing a beat Nick goes my dick?
Speaker:Oh It's really good I'm gonna send it to my kids. I think they'd love it. Oh my god I was dying when they told me that yeah, it was like crisis averted
Speaker:But then we ended up turning the outside speakers off and we just had speakers on the inside Which I'm sure you could hear blasting from you Yeah, I could I think Monica took over the playlist at one point cuz there's like a lot of tea Swift We were singing Taylor Swift Say anything it was a shit show I was oh my god, and then apparently like I don't know if I should taste on the show
Speaker:You can tell me to cut it out Okay, but apparently at one point like towards the end the night people are starting to leave the coals like should we take gummies? Oh, yeah, I was like yeah I took the worst idea both nights and said that does not sound like a great idea so unnecessary to me It just knocked me out. Oh, yeah, I mean I love taking it for sleep
Speaker:But I was like boy did I not need it that night Clearly I think I slept extra good, and I woke up you guys Not hung over. I woke up so fucked up. Yeah poor Greg. I woke up, and I was like hey I actually feel pretty okay and then like we were up for a while and then I ate and maybe I waited too long to eat or something and
Speaker:Then like after eating it started to hit me and then we got in the car and drove home And you know you're pulling a trailer like the car is extra bouncy because the trailer makes it bounce And I yeah every fucking bump. I was like oh Oh God Or I wonder if you just got so drunk that like you you you still woke up semi
Speaker:Shittered it's highly possible, and you lived the hangover like that likely and we've talked about that being the absolute worst right these great It's great waking up still kind of drunk cuz you're like wow I feel fucking great. I didn't Yeah, and then it's like two hours later. You're just like yeah
Speaker:Yeah Yeah, and if we didn't have to check out we could have just had champagne and kept going and it would have been fine For you right eased our way out of the hangover, but whoo Yes, those are rough ride home got better once I got out of the car once we finally got home But it was like two hours of like mmm. I feel like next year. We stay till Monday. Yeah, have a recovery day

Speaker:Runner up dark and light. I mean, yes, those were my two favorite all your bases. There we go Yeah, that collab was delicious. So good. All right now from us. Let's hear from flex Let's answer the most important question of the night draftbeer is king
Speaker:Muscles are bigger than grounders Only one tongue can guide us one man one tongue one tongue jobber In this world, we must find out what is flex drinking
Speaker:Well, hello there Today fleximus flex killis is drinking Woven waters iridescence double blurry India pale ale Our guy og beer dude sent this up a few weeks back and I figure I might as well drink it
Speaker:before I keep putting it on a pedestal and Push it off for about six and then he gets gross Yeah, exactly. So this one like I said, it's from woven water And I believe they're down in Florida says Tampa because he was there for the Tampa beer week, right? It's a 8.2%
Speaker:It has a 4.05 on untapped and It actually has more of a description on the can than the untapped. So it says blurry India pale ale in unclear or indistinctly visible bright and aromatic
Speaker:America Indian Indian I'm an idiot India pale ale brewed exclusively by woven water brewing company the Lustrous blurry IPA is brewed with mosaic and Eldorado hops And it's a hard to read on that. I'm sorry because this can is like holographic
Speaker:Like you see how wicked? Yeah, so trying to read that description was That's rough. It's kind of a good job. Yeah, but I tell you what the liquid in this can is Phenomenal. Mmm, take a little sniff It's it's funny you guys are talking about how dank your beer was because this is like super mega dank
Speaker:On the old schnauz and then even when we warm up the old tongue jobber. I Mean it is just wicked dank. There's not too many notes. I'm getting out of there other than just like straight up hop
Speaker:Dankness and it's fucking awesome. It's like you would expect there to be Some bitterness at the end for how happy it is And it finishes off like 98% clean. There is just like a little hint of hot bitterness
Speaker:But this is like I don't even know how they do something like this, but it's pretty fucking phenomenal and big cheers to Zack I mean the color on it the lacing like look at those legs Those are some sexy legs and even how blurry that is I will not call it hazy because it is a blurry IPA, but it's true. You can't even see my pretty face
Speaker:No, which part of the show? Sorry about that I've heard a lot about these guys. I've never Purchased some I think they've come up here a few times and me on hype breweries. I'm not You know I'm not somebody that jumps a gun and goes out that you know first sight of them
Speaker:Sure you know lining up yeah, and I next time I see these guys I might have to dabble in oh Dabble in the hype dabble in the hype because this is really that good and if it's 8.2% That's totally wheelhouse for me. Oh, yeah, if that's your jam like anything like over seven, right?
Speaker:Yeah, I definitely definitely enjoy that seven and a half to like yeah, I enjoy triples like that 10% And then anything above that 10% That's when I kind of start. I'm like a one-and-done To bump jump well. You know you have like a bomber of a barrel aged out
Speaker:That's like 13% and you know nobody else is drinking it, but you it kind of calls for a one-and-done Yeah, yeah, you're just riding in first class after that We That's like one year Eagle Park came out with the quadruple IPA, and it was like 13 or 14 percent and every time I had that it was just like
Speaker:One can and you'd sip it for about two hours and by the time that can was done. You were just like Yeah, my bed sounds like super good That was like locally out here. Do you remember five threads? Craig's Nirvana no, I think it was like 18% the quad IPA. There's something like a hundred and fifty IB use
Speaker:I mean it was stupid. It was Sounds yeah unnecessary right you can't go to the brewery and drink something. That's 18% Like I only ever had a taster of it cuz I was like what the fuck am I gonna do get hammered and drive home I mean exactly yeah, but same kind of thing There's been a few like 12 13 percenters. I've had but they usually get served in like a
Speaker:8 8 or 10 ounce glass mm-hmm. Yeah, I mean this definitely got served in a smaller glass, but not small enough to allow Yeah, I was gonna say that shit's still gonna hit you pretty hard That shit hit me pretty hard Wow we we each ended up having at least one full black Tuesday to
Speaker:Remember oh yeah, I only know cuz Shannon told me yes, that was the vertical of 17 to 20 percent of beers in 750 milliliter bottles Yeah, that's too much. It was insane. Well. We don't sounds like a night gone wrong Yeah, we had we had just enough people to basically have one per person
Speaker:Smart so Twice as many people yeah from what I remember is fun Yeah, probably Nicole, and I got real deep in the kitchen and had a I don't know discussion about deep things Hold on that sounds dirty I did but um yeah, don't remember any of it
Speaker:So all right a little bit of news before we head up out of here We've we've all heard about what's going on with Bud Light and Budweiser and all the stupidness Yeah, now they're releasing statements and new commercials They're not Apologizing, but they're not not apologizing
Speaker:They released a statement part of it said we never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer all right But they never like addressed it like we're glad we did it over now Like you said nothing you've just continued, and then they released a new commercial
Speaker:Where it's like very Budweiser II it's like America with horses Yeah, the Clydesdale's the Clydesdales in the heartland and all that kind of shit, and so I think I have a feeling with Direction they're going with that so what a shit show over there But they have actually seen a decline in volume and sales because of it's really
Speaker:According to off-premise data from market research firm in IQ for the week ending April 8 the packages of Bud Light showed accelerating sales and share declines while more Molson Coors can Competing light lager brands Coors Light and their light showed a notable uptick in sales
Speaker:And share and it went on to say that like yes, they saw a hit for one week They did not a huge hit There's like a half a percent it was nothing to like file bankruptcy over and they assume over the next few weeks It'll kind of even out anyways, okay
Speaker:I wish they went into a little bit more detail because I want to know How much of the other Budweiser brands picked up the hit yeah because people are dumb like oh? We're gonna have Corona instead like up same company dumb shit I saw this story on the news this morning actually I don't ever watch the news what I did today and
Speaker:I can't remember what other company it showed you know who? diversified mm-hmm and their It said something like their sales went up by like 31% so the fact that this Put them back is it's wild. I'll say this and only this okay. I can't imagine
Speaker:someone's Sexuality or their choice of What they're identifying as affecting me so badly I would boycott something for the rest of my life I agree 100 fucking mind-blowing to me that that of all things like it's a person and that I don't know
Speaker:I'm just gonna say that I'm not trying to get political. I'm just even more mind-boggling Yeah, even more mind-boggling to me are the idiots like when your thoughts get trapped in a bottle exactly The idiot to go to their fridge find the Bud light They've already spent money on and purchased and then like take it out back right over with their truck or shoot it with the shotgun
Speaker:It's like you know you've paid for that like they have your money. You might as well at least drink that much. Yeah, that's it That's yeah, yeah, but enjoy your Coors because they've been supporting gay pride since like 1971 or so And your Chevy truck that you ran it over with yeah, they also also do for an LGBT a yeah
Speaker:Interesting yeah, but you know keep pouring out things you've already it's the same as book burning you bought that books You could burn it, but the author is like yeah I don't give a shit what you do that book as long as you pay for it mm-hmm Yeah, 100% yeah good times so enjoy not drinking the beer you paid for because America is America
Speaker:That's my favorite part of all of it. I bought it, and I'm not gonna drink it now Oh, I digress wonder how many people we pissed off um Speaking of beer as we are apt to do Shorter baseball games in MLB because of the pitch clock which look I'm all for shorter baseball games those things are too. I love the pitch clock
Speaker:Yes, let me tell you pitch clock in fact stop reviewing plays The way they're reviewing it like they should just have it where like someone in New York is always watching I think there's a question The the um fucking throws his hand up and they already have an answer like what is this bullshit?
Speaker:I got to put on headsets and the guy on the other end is like oh you got a question for me Huh hold on let me pull it out. Oh god W-w-w I agree with that Especially because they're you know The idea of like an umpire not even being a thing and having like electronic balls and strikes called yeah
Speaker:So it's like that. It's like the same thing and just having somebody always watching the game Yeah, and if something happens where yeah, it's like a wrong call They just they call it in say hey, that's not what it's supposed to be that's fine to get it right But the fact that like they're trying to speed up the game
Speaker:And then they still have to wait for the ump to make the call to wherever they're calling It's like no no just already have the answer for him They would find me all the sports they have to do that like just have one person assigned to that game That's reviewing everything and then when there's a question. It's like here's your answer stop slowing down the fucking game
Speaker:Well, they got to add the little bit of drama and suspense Yes anyways that all to say Major League Baseball I think this started with the Brewers and other teams the Dodgers one of them are starting to catch on are Experimenting with beer sales past the seventh inning because oh the game shorter
Speaker:We're not selling as much beer and not making as much money Yep, so now they're going through the eighth inning which I've heard not I've heard nothing about it yet like sales wise if it's yeah I haven't heard any figures yet like they've only been doing it for a week or two it seems like But go for it it seems weird like I know as a Dodger fan going to Dodger games
Speaker:Dodger fans can get rowdy the drunk ones especially and I'm surprised with all the shit that's happening at Dodger Stadium I'm surprised that they instituted this even on a trial basis. You know the guy getting beat up in the parking lot Vegetable yeah, well are you guys allowed to tailgate?
Speaker:Yeah, I mean if you sit in your car for more than 30 seconds after you pull in they're like Knocking on your window like what are you doing in there? I was like holy shit like a mile to unbuckle my seatbelt and grab my things like Cuz that was that was the big Question concern in Milwaukee because we are allowed to tailgate here
Speaker:And the gates open three hours before the game starts as it should be so people will drink for three hours Prior to game time and then head into the game and drink even more so then there was 50-50 split basically on people supporting the hey yeah, let's drink past the seventh inning because
Speaker:Hey, it's like What do they say that the games are down like 31 minutes on average? Yeah, I'm all for it. Yeah, so Man, I don't care like people obviously stupid people are gonna be stupid and the smart ones are you know? Gonna continue to do what they do and whatever just weed out the bad ones
Speaker:Yeah, is it gonna make a huge difference in like how many people drive drunk? I doubt it no But yeah, so but if you're in LA and you want to go tailgate just go south to Angel Stadium You can tailgate all you want. Just don't do what I did. I I walked up with my beer To the stadium yeah, so we remember that we went to you know we parked as three of us
Speaker:We parked we had pizza and beer with us, and we even asked the guy at the gate We're like hey, we're allowed to tell you like yeah, of course we park reading pizza. We're drinking beer shitty beer and Security drives by like five times never even stopped in fact waves at us a couple times, and so I was like alright
Speaker:Well, I got one beer, but we gotta go start the game So I was like I'm gonna walk up with it Pounded on my way up, and then just throw it away when I get up there you always take one or two walking beers always I mean if you got cargo shorts You take a few with you
Speaker:But uh so I'm walking up there We're walking to literally we're walking towards a trash can so that we could then go to will call cop yells out Hey, there's two of us that still in beers What do you think you're doing like go and get our tickets like huh? You can't be drinking like what? It comes over goes yeah, you can't be drinking
Speaker:I said we just had like ten of these in the parking lot and security drove by multiple times It didn't stop us didn't say anything in fact they waved at us like well They shouldn't have you can't be drinking and you especially can't be drinking up here. He goes. There's cameras everywhere I can't let you go now because if you had these in like a red cup then I could I could you know say I
Speaker:Was ignorant didn't know what you had, but you got these blue cans that are very obvious what they are Oh, blah like are you fucking kidding me man? So my buddy Kevin and I we get tickets and like how much is this gonna be like I don't decide that but it's not Much probably like 50 bucks. It was like $350
Speaker:Holy shit for open container for open container of a goddamn Miller Lite That's fucking nuts cuz here there You know so there's like I don't know six parking lots that surround the stadium here the park formerly known as Miller Park right and I
Speaker:Mean there's you get like this big fucking bridge you have to walk across like the expressway to get from the parking lots of the stadium and You know sidewalks all around that I'm like the other side because there's also a river that runs By the stadium as well
Speaker:And there it's just lined with motorcycle cops the bike cops cops on foot And you can drink as much as you want walking to the stadium as long as you do not try to bring your beer into The stadium yeah, we weren't we were just walking up the wheel call well
Speaker:I mean, I will say cuz Nick and I go to Supercross there in Angel Stadium and Supercross you're not allowed You're not allowed to drink beers in the parking lot we always get the big monster cans yeah, I don't mind out
Speaker:Cuz I fucking hate energy drink. I don't mind out and when we pour beers in the big monster cans Oh, so we specifically check the signs. I mean this was like 15 years ago We checked the signs We even asked the dude at the ticket booth like there was nothing that says like you can't Crack a beer in the parking lot
Speaker:Yeah, and even the cop was like if you'd have been at your car if you had these in red solo cups I don't let you go cuz you know a complete ignorance, but this is on camera you with a blue can in your hand I was like Pepsi Yeah, so fuck about ignorant Exactly fuck that guy. Hope he's fucking working mall security at this. Yeah
Speaker:it's always like a fun thing to get to the garbage cans by the stadium on like opening day and Just see like There's no more garbage can anymore legit a pyramid of empty cans with the garbage can inside of it Yeah, such a sight to see yeah, but not a Dodger Stam like we we brought a pizza once no beer
Speaker:We just sat in the car and security started to roll up so we put our seats back And we put up the sunshade And we just like laid there for five minutes and security finally left and then we pop back up and ate our pizza We're not even drinking. We're at the height our goddamn pizza. That's such a Ninja Turtle thing to do Pop their heads into their shells
Speaker:Couple more stories McKellar those assholes Will cease their final US operation with the closure of their San Diego location. What a shame Dear couldn't happen to a nicer brewery right they were so nice and still continued to claim that they've been so nice
Speaker:Isn't it just obnoxious? Yeah? Good luck man see and like that I won't drink people's beer because of that yeah, cuz you're shitty to people right But you know what the ones I bought that are in my fridge. I'm not pouring them out. No. I'll drink them. Yeah exactly Yeah, I'll still drink it first. I'm not gonna go shoot him with a shotgun
Speaker:No, I paid for him exactly where I knew they were naughty exactly so naughty so naughty daddy Well We'll end it with a trip to Florida drunk man causes chaos after breaking into Naples Police Department Joseph Moulton 36 jumped the fence of the South parking lot and went inside an unlocked patrol cruiser where he sat for a few minutes
Speaker:Until he saw people come outside Moulton hit in the bushes and then took action once the coast was clear According to the police report Moulton used the nozzle of a water hose and shoved it underneath the West door Before turning the water on causing at least an inch of flood damage
Speaker:Moulton explored his way to the men's locker room and made himself at home by taking a shower and helping himself to some clothing Bill Tyndall who is a Naples? This is my favorite part of the story They just ask a random resident who is a Naples resident said Moulton was a very ballsy guy for causing trouble inside a police station
Speaker:pretty bizarre He's not even a cop. He's just some random resident. They asked questions Moulton took a uniform shirt pants cap and bulletproof vest worth about $900 the police report also describes that he defecated on the woman's bathroom floor and Dumped a police radio in the toilet
Speaker:What do you think he showered before after the defecation fuck? I hope after well we all hope but yeah He's Florida Joseph's ballsy, man. Yeah Sure is and bizarre It wasn't until he made his way to the nearest
Speaker:7-eleven that police became aware of Moulton's actions one employee called the police after finding Moulton Suspicious and believed to be under the influence Naples police were able to locate Moulton and arrest him during his interview he admitted to being under the influence and not recalling what he Did Moulton is being charged with grand theft and two counts of burglary
Speaker:Naples police are shocking not commenting at the moment as they say further Investigations are underway Who the fuck wasn't watching the cameras at the police department that all this happened or can we just get down to like brass tacks here? We've all been super fucked up before
Speaker:Like outside of our minds fucked up have you ever in your entire life thought to break into a police station? or to shit on somebody's floor or maybe that Somebody's floor or maybe that break into somebody's house and pet their dog like
Speaker:Does this ever cross your mind? I just get numbers from people. I don't yeah I get flirty. Yeah, so do I I just get real flirty. I get people's numbers, and I'm like oh shit Yeah For these stories that come out right these people to get drunk and just say that they're under the influence and that they don't remember
