How can they have a Black Panther movie without Black Panther?
Uh, because it's, like, supposed to take place, like, a year after him died.
A year or two after him dying in the Marvel Universe.
So that's why Black Panther, it's kinda.
A no, because somebody can always take over the mantle of Black Panther.
Greg Oh, shows how much I know.
You see the first movie?
Yeah. Was I sober? I doubt it.
Highly unlikely. Wow, guys. All right.
Since a little tension on the side of the room.
We need. To keep up. With.
We don't talk politics or marvel or.
No, I mean, his facial expressions
that got me a little nervous.
Welcome in, everybody.
It's a craft beer republic.
Thanks for drinking. Thanks for joining.
I have been joined by it looks like Popeye over there with the facial expressions.
Got to get
by the flexing man.
No spinach, just beer and French fries.
Yeah, like that could squeeze the beer out of the can and just stick.
Yeah.
Shoot up and fall in my mouth and then arms just get massive, right?
And then, like, it's raining French fries.
Yeah, but Eagle Park, French fries.
Very specific.
French. Yeah. Not just.
Any French. Fries.
Yeah. You go, Mark Sanchez.
Yeah.
You got to, like, squeeze the ego part. Can
beer goes up and then the ego park boxer fries.
You just kind of like toss in it.
It goes down, we wait.
We don't find many people pretentious about their French fries, but that's me.
Oh, I'm very picky because I never eat French fries.
You know, it's kind of a cheat thing.
Okay, so, like, when I go for French fries, they better be fucking delicious.
Otherwise, I'm throwing them at somebody.
So you ever have that when you.
When you do a cheat meal and it's not worth it,
and then you just feel even worse about yourself,
because not only do you like a piece of shit, but the food was shitty.
Yeah, it's like devil shit.
It's like piece of shit food and piece of shit. Me So we're.
Sitting anyway.
So bad.
Wow, we have talked way too long about that.
Our apologies to the listeners and even more so to Mrs.
Nash Tobar Fest herself, the salty sailor
that has sailed the seven seas of mosh pits.
Erika, how's it going? Hey, how's it going?
Go October fest season is almost over.
I still consider October, so we got a little while.
So we're not in Germany.
They kind of ended like midway through October, right?
I think so.
I mean, it's more of a end to September thing,
but around, you know, the states we like to because it says October.
October and we party tonight.
We love to free hell.
It's October 1st to like November 5th or something.
Why not? Yeah, it's stretch it anyways.
So much fun to get to today.
Erika was at a festival. I'm going to ask her about it.
I was at a festival that happened with the only two year beer.
He also called in to talk a little bit about the festival.
We can never wait for that.
We got some.
News to talk about, but I don't know about y'all's.
I'm trying to work y'all into my speech more often,
so I don't say like you guys, because obviously not all males over here,
uh, find out what y'all's is drinking and all that good stuff.
Let's, let's kick things off with killing some sobriety
with Erica.
Oh, I
haven't.
Hey, friends.
Sorry.
Flex is so interesting to watch.
I just don't want to talk right now, but rock over fist.
He is.
He is just thrown.
Into the wind. Yeah.
My beer today is for October Fest and I wanted to headbang a little to that.
My neck still hurts from Aftershock, but I love the play on words
with rock and Tober.
So that's why I picked this beer and not a big description.
But anyways, this is a fast beer and it's 5% abv 20 IB.
You don't give a shit about that I abuse because that's yeah.
So Nick told us they don't matter.
They don't matter.
And this is a traditional fast beer brewed with authentic German barley
full of rich toasted malt flavors with a light body and refreshing crispness
as the description.
Oh, and it's a cumulative 3.78 on untapped and German beers.
Never get like full credit.
No, they know it.
But you know what I like to think about that?
That three, seven, five times two is like a seven and a half out of ten.
Sure, that's not bad.
Yeah, there you go. That's one way to look at it.
I neglected to say this is my almanac beer company.
You know, I think when something's, like, really
stylized, it's really hard to get a high score on it.
So, like, yeah, you know, you have a fast beer, pumpkin beer.
People already make up their mind about whether they like that or not.
And then
just give it at bat.
So this beer is a light copper
color beer, which is traditional for this time of year.
Not real bubbly.
And yeah, rock on flex.
I know this is really exciting.
Beer truck. On fast.
Got a rock yeah.
Oh smells a little yeasty and
I don't know I would say you see, but yeah it starts,
it just says it smells easy
and so it starts a little sweet, but that quickly dissipates.
It's kind of bready and its ends dry and quick.
Okay.
Probably like the show will tonight, given everything
you do. Not the. Dry part.
I love the dry.
Maybe so.
Yeah, it's it's a good it's a good October.
I would buy this again.
Yeah.
And the can is pretty cool and it's got this pumpkin
that's eating a pumpkin head on a dude
eating some verse now sturgeon some beer yeah, yeah.
Rock on October fest love October season.
I'm perfect fest beer.
Abby Yeah, exactly. 5%.
I'm not doing a bunch of doubles tonight.
I'm just keeping it and keeping it.
So I thought that was a.
New rule that if you're on the show, doubles only.
Doubles only, that's every other show.
So, right.
So that means next time when you get the triple, I'm.
Going to have a lot.
A lot, too will be so excited.
It'll be an hour and a half. America just got out.
And then I got a quad in my fridge.
You guys want to spot that?
Yeah. There you. Go. 12%.
Oh, yeah.
So that was a nice beer.
Nice Oktoberfest.
Nice. Well, good time process.
I guess. Yes, they're good.
Yeah, that's what I hear.
You haven't told us.
Very good.
Well, like I said, we all had some festivals that we attended.
Usually I play the voice mails a little later in the show,
but I figure I'll play choose voicemail now because then I can
I can talk about what he's talking about.
And, you know, we could be copasetic and all that good stuff.
Hello.
No one is available to take your call.
Please leave a message after the tone.
A also very public to you.
Be here.
Quick thing on me.
My votes in one to show longer.
Add another 15 minutes.
Give me about an hour and leaders an hour.
You could 15 minutes more.
That's just a lot of bantering, a lot of good banter.
You guys,
when you guys do your little tangents, they're fun, homey, and they're exciting.
So there you go.
Also, Greg, it was awesome hanging out with you.
So maybe, you know, we could do it again. HOLMES
Hopefully one day we get to hang out like that.
I got to hang out with Greg.
You probably already talked about it, but lucky you have the surf and suds man.
That was also had a fucking amazing.
I don't remember getting home.
I guess I drank a lot.
Why? He said I had raging burgers in and out and came home, tore off my clothes
and I just not that in the bed house made a little little video that funny
you know just making fun of the things that holds 20 ounces of beer.
Other than that, Greg's again homie hit me up
less collaborate let's make a beer
We fun to hang out with you and let's make a beer
and then positive palooza will happen just waiting for the weather
to get a little bit cold because you know, Mexicans,
we don't need fucking for solar when it's fucking hot homie.
That's like,
like eating chicken noodle soup in the fucking summertime.
Host Usually possibly we save it for the colder weather.
So, so. But it'll happen.
I'll let you know it's going to have a high homie,
so we'll probably have, we'll have for solar palooza
and then whoever comes over is good.
We'll do a quick a nice little bottle share.
Homie.
I don't really have
a lot of the old bottles, but I do have a lot of bourbon whiskey
and I do have two bottles that I've been holding for a couple of years now.
They're both out, so I'll pop those open and then we'll see where that brings in.
I'll have a couple of cans of fucking modelo for you.
Hi, homie.
This is too weird to want to drag it out because I know you're fucking toxic,
but amazing last night seeing you
in the way he and the buzzing people.
Thank you, Wiley, for those tickets.
It was nice seeing
Kohli and
but also.
That's it, homie.
I'm out there to watch healthy. Sorry.
Quit pimping the bootleg on this show.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah, she was great.
Didn't make it. Making videos.
Yeah. Okay.
I don't know if I want to see those videos.
All right. Well, not now. I'm curious what he said.
He said, the the Mexicans don't eat the porcelain.
And, you know, the hot weather. Right.
He said they wait for what is cold for like
California or, you know, 72.
And that's like soup, whether it's weather.
You know, sixties, probably.
60. OC.
In the daytime or whatever. Okay.
Yeah, I mean, well, we'll do the pesos in the summer.
Like if a real toasty we need it to get over
because we're a little crude over hung over
go get that pistols in the morning but yeah you don't want to be eaten episode
is it like noon when it's 85 hours just it's too much hotness. So.
Yeah.
So I ran into Chu at surf and said kind of knew he was going to be there.
He hit me up early in the week, was like, are you guys going?
And at that time I wasn't wildly from the booze league.
Hit us up, see if we wanted some tickets.
He had a couple extras because they're the main sponsors and so we got in.
There is really surprise Chu and his wife and we got a walk in hydrant. And.
They left before we did.
At one point,
you know, we're texted each other looking for each other because we're so drunk.
And then he left and then texted me like 2 hours later and said, Homie,
I don't know how I got home, but I was like,
Oh, I think he was driving too, which is not bueno.
We wrapped, we closed the place down, then we held while you kind of pack up
some of the stuff
and then what you always need after a good beer festival is more beer.
So we stopped at Institution Brewery out here and had
a few like three more beers, I think had some dinner with it.
My goodness.
Yeah, real smart because we first of all, we started drinking at 11:30 a.m..
That's when the VIPs got in.
So we start drinking at 1130,
go till 430.
I think it was a 5 hours of, of not taking it easy.
That's a. Long festival. Yeah.
And then went, had three more beers
and then afterwards Big Dick Nick was going to take us home.
He, he wasn't at the festival and so we get back to our place
and then apparently like we kept opening beers.
So I kind of don't remember it.
In fact, I don't remember anything after we left institution the rest.
Tonight's a blur.
Not one thing except for throwing up at like midnight.
That explains why your t your dog.
That was just last weekend.
Your dog was doing that recently.
Sorry, I'm just playing therapist today, but.
And that's taking after his dad.
Yeah.
You know, it's been it's been much, much longer for me.
Like, not remember drinking so much that I haven't remembered something.
It's been super long for that at pretty sure I puked like a month ago.
Yeah, I haven't puked in a long time.
That was bad.
It's just it was that I started so early, didn't drink enough water and enough food
and see, that's.
That's where I thrive is like when the drinking starts really early in the day
and you keep it going throughout, you know, the rest of the day.
That's where I rule.
I suck, you know.
And it was like, you're 21
and you and your friends are like, Oh, yeah, let's go out.
And the drink.
Starts, the.
Drinking starts late, you know, like nine, 10 p.m.
and then you cram it all into that four hour session, like ten.
The bar closed, right?
That's where I would make a huge mistake.
Well, that's where I live.
And that I garnered, you know, the nickname growing up puking MC mucus in
oh if Flex was going to
party, Flex was going to puke.
Yeah, I do pretty good.
The day drinking where I go wrong is day drinking at a beer festival
because I have this need to like try everything
there, you know, in the name of research and usually a much better
like drinking water.
So the other day I was so bad it was hard to find.
Usually they're much better at putting water everywhere.
It was really hard to find it. Find it till the end.
I apparently like three bottles of water, waited a little.
I don't even feel like water helps.
It doesn't hurt, that's for sure.
I tell you what, I went, you know, I did some research.
It was last last week, Monday I went to my Monday spot in the park.
Bryce had like five lunch beers.
Who's counting? And
I had a water in between each beer.
And I also had a little sampling of their honey gin
because the bartender rules and I'm not going to lie.
I was pretty lit and
I thought that the water would have helped a lot more.
And I don't think it that.
Maybe had you not had the water. You know.
Not even worse.
Yeah. Yeah. Chicken or egg, who knows. Right.
So anyways.
Oh, so I put I did I puke apparently like
the girls, Nick and Nicole and the wife that I was in there like,
dude, my, my business in the bathroom because I'd been to like 10 minutes.
So they sent poor Nick over like, hey, good.
Go check on them.
And he gets near the bathroom and he just walked away. No.
Like is he pooping in there? And he's like,
there's a lot of these puking.
And so apparently I was so hammered that I threw up in the trash
can and said the toilet, which is not only
is it next to the to the toilet, it's touching the toilet.
So I don't know why I avoided.
The good thing is there is a bag in there and I was coherent enough to finish.
Tie up the bag, take it outside of the trash can.
That's kind of. Oh, yeah.
At least I clean up.
Yeah. High end drunk. Right.
So then the next morning I woke up, tried to pound a liquid I.V.,
which usually saves my ass and mid IV through that all.
But I was like, Oh, this isn't going to be cool. Very well.
Yeah.
So Sunday was the last.
It was a shit day.
Then we had to go to Nikki Nicole's house for a barbecue.
My wife's like we already told them. We go over there dirty about food.
We can't bitch out on them.
Now is like, I will be there.
I just need some time.
So we get there next like you want a beer is like, fuck no I don't.
I did have a little champagne though.
I had a little champagne to right the ship
and it made my stomach feel better, but it gave me a blitz in headaches.
I was like, All right, two glasses of champagne.
We're done drinking for the day, so.
But good times, good time at surf.
And so it's good time hanging out with you and the the boozy crew.
Sandra was there porn for Firestone so we're talking him hung out with Brett
from Knotty Pine for like half the event she just
she had one of her other beer tenders there.
So she's like, hey, I'm going to get some beer.
And she just walked in beer with us,
which is always funny because she's very shy and doesn't like to promote
herself like, Hey, this is the head brewer of Knotty Pine over here.
It's like she don't have a good job.
It's awesome. I love doing that to people.
Yeah, I'm a dick, so I'm not nearly as bad as chew.
You walk around, Judy's like, Hey, have you heard of Craft Beer?
Republic is the best fucking podcast you'll ever hear.
Hey, and you like, hit me like, hey, give us some stickers.
Hi, I'm Greg.
And shots.
Totally picture.
I'm doing that. A great guy.
I'm horrible self-promotion and he always steps up for me, so.
And then finally I'll say we are we're we're planning it for later this week.
On Sunday, we are going to collaborate on a brew.
He's going to come over.
He wants to do a solar inspired beer for it.
Solar palooza.
So sounds great over pizza palooza.
I'm real unsure about this.
Basically, it's going to be a mexican lager with some harmony.
So so far are fine. You know, people add corn to beer all the time.
Yeah, yeah.
That corny, like, tortilla flavor.
But then he wants to add just a little bit of the peppers that go in Brazil
to make. It you and pepper beers.
And spicy beer. Now he wants to make it red.
He said he doesn't want to be spicy, just like I live with that flavor.
And I told him was like, I fucking hate spicy beers.
He's like, No, no, just a little bit of flavor.
So he consulted with some home brew guy.
We're working on a recipe.
I honestly, I probably shouldn't even say this
because you'll listen and then give me shit for.
But my confidence is pretty low on it because we know how I feel
about spicy beers, but like, hey, we'll give it a shot.
We'll see what happens. Well, you know what you should do?
That you should brew a batch with the spice and a batch without the spice.
Yeah, yeah.
Maybe I don't have that much space.
You know, I could do, like a one gallon of the spice list.
One or something, just for me.
Okay.
Not shared, I don't know, but we also have to drink all the other stuff
I still have so I can fit in the keg and carbonated when it's done.
That's a challenge. Accept it.
So we'll see how that goes.
But man, what a what a weekend that was hoof surfing, suds, buck and my.
Shut up, Erica.
No, no black eyes for you.
I see. That's not for me. Ha!
You see the other girl?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Don't forget to bring my work smarter.
Not harder. There, flex.
Oh, no, no. Black guys.
Closest I got was maybe like with Chevelle because I just I really like Chevelle
and I've seen them before.
And so we got maybe four rows back or so.
And then we were like really close to the mosh pit.
And so it's just like, you know, how you're like glancing
left the whole time or whatever to make sure it's like, is it getting closer?
Is that too close?
I'm like, I got two kids, I'm not going to get in there.
But it was really tempting. Had have.
You been in a mosh pit. Before?
No. I mean, the closest thing was like a perfect circle.
Like, I don't know, 12 years ago or something like that in a small like venue.
So it's like this kind of more of a nerd now, kind of a.
I think violent. Nothing real violent.
But now I have it and I got like my elbows are fierce
so I could do some serious damage in a mosh pit.
But I just.
I mean, all five foot 12 of you, you got some some wingspan.
I could do some damage for sure.
I think I'm just not someone that people look at and like,
you know, I should mess with her.
I'm I'm a pretty good size person, so I get all male and I think.
But yeah.
Yeah.
And your elbows are like most girls face level so.
Pretty much yeah.
Like hooks to. Someone somebody getting wrecked.
Somebody would totally.
So it's more of like a liability thing.
I just, I don't, I don't want to get in there and mess
with other people like that, give them their chance, you know.
So yeah, no, but Aftershock was freaking amazing.
Yeah.
I wasn't sure if we could make it four days.
We did four, we didn't get there like at the very beginning every day.
But do camp out for that. What do you do?
No, we drive back every day, about 30 minutes from my house.
Okay.
And it's in this gigantic park.
There's four stages.
You have to kind of like, okay, I'm going to see this one.
I'm a leave a few minutes early
to get over to the next one and it's just like amazing
drinks.
Guess how much a beer is it? Aftershock?
I'm going to say $18.
You're gonna say 17?
Exactly. 18.
Wow. So is that. For good beer ship here.
In it's it's hot valley, which is InBev owned or.
Whatever.
I think that's Molson or Molson. Okay.
Yeah. So it's, it's not crowded. I know.
Yeah.
So, so the first day, I mean this is like our fifth or sixth aftershock.
So I have like one of those sunscreen bottles that you can like fill with
car or whatever.
So and you have to bring a clear backpack. They look staff.
It's like an NFL stadium.
It is. It's pretty, pretty hardcore.
So I just brought one the first day and they didn't mess with me.
So I got me like four vodka drinks right there. Just Red Bull.
Get a Red Bull and then. Right, vodka.
By $38. Red Bull.
Right.
Is six
bucks for a red Bull, but that's a lot better than the $20 mixed drink, you know.
So yeah.
Then the next day it was like everybody had sunscreen bottles.
Like I just had it was on sand. Like for.
My brother, it's like big cargo.
Cargo shorts. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Where he's a big dude.
So, like, and he's got small legs, though, so it's like the cargo shorts
just kind of hang out with wings, fill them up.
So we had plenty of alcohol and that was amazing.
Oh, and that was hilarious.
So those I got two different types of sunscreen, sunscreen, quote, bottles.
And one of the I think it was hailstorm.
We're watching a hailstorm.
And in front of me, the dude has the exact same sunscreen bottles and it's back.
He went out like unscrew it in force.
And then I was like, Hey, man.
Shoes have been like SPF 50.
Exactly.
So I was a little hilarious. I took a picture of it.
I was like, Oh, my gosh, that's exactly what I have in my bag.
But yeah, that was it
was really good that there like there were some bands that surprised me.
There were, you know, old school bags.
There's just way too much to say about Aftershock.
I would like for you to death, but two surprises were lamb of God,
which I never I never really listened to LAMB of God.
I can't even tell you one song from them.
But we know. One of their songs from Guitar Hero.
Is that one. Oh, that's about it. Yeah. Yeah.
They were amazing.
We were just like jumping and screaming and banging our heads the whole time.
And then I didn't really know Shinedown that well.
They're kind of like more of a, you know, compared to some of these bands,
kind of more smooth and like mainstream, but they were really.
Screaming a little bit.
Yeah, they came out right, right about the same time Chevelle did.
Yeah. Did they. Have it?
Yeah, but it was like Chevelle, Seether and Shinedown,
like all around like that too.
2000, one, 2000 to. Hmm. Okay.
I did not realize that they were amazing performers.
Surprised me.
But then yeah, there was Rob Zombie and oh my gosh, this is all so good.
And we made it for day.
We were like, looking at each other.
Four of us went, you know, every day.
And we're just like, Are we doing that?
Are we still doing this?
Is it.
Like when you go to Vegas by day three, you're like, Should we just go home. Now?
I mean, yeah, that's like last time as a Vegas, I was so much younger
than this, but man, I'm so proud of us for for hanging in the four days and I'm.
Proud of you. Yeah. Break in. Amazing.
Next year, though. Think about the mosh pit.
Everybody's got to do it once in their lives. Oh, my God.
Hey, I'm gonna have to get some tips.
Craig used to put himself through tables.
If he can do that, I think.
I think you can try out a mosh pit.
Okay, thumbtacks, Bible.
Well, yeah, it's not a real thing.
Yeah, anytime I.
Any time anybody brings up my former wrestling career, my wife is just like
we would not have been friends.
Former wrestling career and.
We would have been best friends.
Yeah, I know.
That's why we are any time like any time Erika talks about her
elbow and, like, hitting people, all I can think of, like, is, oh.
Your.
Elbow drop off the top.
Yeah, well, it sounds like a blast.
And you know where to keep it young over there.
I tried.
Not to. Even.
It's like four days of recovery for four days of fun.
Know I'd like two days recovery for one day of fun right away.
Algorithm's off.
Yeah, you can tweak that a little bit. Yeah.
I went to the chiropractor and he's like, anything I should focus on today?
I was like, I don't know, make me not feel like I'm 60. That'd be. Great.
You got anything for hangovers
that can't help you there?
Like, neither can I.
Oh, man, that makes me sad.
Yeah, me too.
I'm telling you, hangovers are the worst.
And the older you get, it's just.
It's getting worse.
Yeah, it is.
The recovery time just keeps growing.
When you have more responsibility, too, so you're like, shit.
Back in the day, it didn't really matter if you took half the day now.
You know, that's the funny thing I like to tell people at work, you know,
now, yeah, I'm 34 and hangovers aren't the same as they were ten years ago.
But it was perfectly normal for me to go to work.
Hung over ten years ago, you know, have my head in a trash
can in the back room and just people just
casually walking by me like, yep, that's it.
Flex had a good night last night.
Yeah, it was super normal and yeah, pretty accepted.
And now it's just like I can't even get up
if I'm hung over and it's horrible.
Well, now I'd be like, Who's that old guy with his head in the trash can? And it's.
Yeah, right.
You must have botulism.
Yeah. Sorry.
Stay away from spam.
I remember I think it was 32 when the hangovers really started
affecting me like pre that, like I was, I was a rock star.
Like, I'd go out all night and go to work the next day,
sometimes still drunk, you know, like whatever.
But like 32 rolled around.
I was like, Oh, here we go.
I need Jesus or something.
Did you ever find him now?
Still working. On it.
Oh, dude, he was Aftershock, Jesus, Waldo and Santa.
We're all at Aftershock every day.
And I swear, every time Jesus got up, like, four or five people followed him
like that.
Yeah.
It was, it was pretty awesome.
And there was one day.
Yeah, seriously, there was one day I could not find Waldo,
I could find Santa and Jesus, but I couldn't find Waldo's.
So once again, that's his gig.
Yeah, right. Yeah.
So anyways.
Yeah, I just play in the past.
Bring Jesus in a dollar a bottle of water, ask him to turn in the toy dollar
bottle of wine. Right.
What about worth it.
Yeah coming up on that. So.
Oh well, speaking of hangovers, why don't I make a call the pin
and see if I can get myself halfway there?
So he calls
to the bullpen for me. Here
I am drinking totally excellent
by Torrential Hill Brewing, which is right down the street for me.
It's a collab with Kern River Brewing Company.
Check out the sweet cannon as I show you peeps.
I always love the Curtain River art.
It's always fun.
It usually involves river activities and that kind of thing.
This is an IPA 7.2%
doesn't listening I've used and it doesn't fucking matter has it.
3.93 only 150 ratings.
They say the hops they use were Citra Centennial,
Cascade and Nectar on some classic hops.
And they say it's a bodacious West Coast IPA with our friends at Kern
River brewing.
Time flies when you're having fun.
Party on dudes.
Love it on the old sniff Rooney you get a little with that West Coast Dank
because it is a clear beer But I'm getting.
A lot of those classic hops. Yeah, yeah.
You get this classic
I get a lot of the citrus, which I'm sure is the citrus shining through.
Dig in my old tongue.
Do you ever hear old being the key word?
Yeah.
The taste follows.
That knows a lot of that citrus coming up.
Very light mouthfeel, a very dry finish.
Makes you want to go back for more.
7.2 is virtually nonexistent.
This drinks like a pale, which could be a little dangerous at times, but challenge.
Except it sounds. Excellent.
It's sounds.
Totally excellent. It's totally excellent. Sure.
Very good.
All right, before we find out what Flex is drinkin over there, let's hit
a couple of stories.
Good news for us over here in California,
they've raised the limit on craft brewery satellite locations.
And even though this is a thing that you could only have up to six
satellite locations for your brewery, now it's meaning.
Like you can only have your beers tapped at six
like pubs or something like that or you.
Know, you can only have six taprooms.
Of your own. Ownership.
Okay. Yeah, that's a lot.
Yeah, it's California, though, right?
Like you said, you can drive for 11 hours.
They'll be in California. Fair enough.
I think modern times at 33 somehow.
But that's also why they went out of business.
And also.
You and they're assholes.
Yeah.
So now you can have eight, which seems like a good number.
I don't know. Is anybody pissed that they can only open eight?
Let me know.
I want to know who's being stifled by this.
Like even stone at their.
I only had I think three or four within the state.
So yeah, I don't.
Question that many.
Yeah. I don't know.
Yeah.
I feel like if you have that many you've either been bought out
or you're, you're not focusing on the right things.
They're like quality is going to suffer. Yeah.
That was the first thing I was thinking of was quality.
Yeah. So that's interesting.
Speaking of it, couldn't happen to a nicer company.
Mckeller There's San Francisco.
Mckeller Bar has announced that they are closing this month and that's a shame.
I didn't even know they had one.
He might be why they're closing.
Right? Yeah.
That that company man, they still refuse to fix things.
Anyways,
the next story sounds disgusting. Let's.
Let's find out what Flex is drinking first.
Before.
I get into this next.
One scene of discussing Flex. Yeah.
No, this part, I imagine it won't be disgusting,
but it will be an important answer in a.
World where craft beer is keys and overall
their muscles are bigger than ground, there's only one time in diners.
One man had one in town, one tongue jobber.
In this world, we must find out
what is flex drinking?
What is do you?
We go. Thanks, Maria.
So today I am drinking a beer.
I went out to celebrate about a month ago.
Now my one of my local beer buddies had won the contest
over at Mob Craft Brewing to Brew and beer big.
You brought that up?
Yeah and it was awesome.
And so I'm drinking bobbin for caramel it is a caramel apple pop
inspired sour and I would
I would read the untappd description but it literally just says that
it is not
just caramel apple pop, sour or tart apple and sweet caramel notes.
It has a collective 4.01, not a lot of ratings on it, but
enough to make it the 4.01.
Right. Pretty stellar. Impressive.
Yeah.
And they recently opened a location in the Denver area,
so they were all out there for JB's.
So that was kind of a cool thing to see them.
And they're what brew beer was at the low funky sour ale.
What took bronze in the American Sour Ale category or something like that.
So congrats to my craft for that took
first place two years ago so
yeah they just do some really good beer and especially sour program.
So anyway, this one,
the old sniffer, we had a lot lots of Kamal notes on this.
It actually kind of smells like a bowlful caramel
and it's very, very, very delicious.
Without further ado, Tom Jabber.
While he digs in, I'm going to bring up Gabe.
I'm not going to read like all the winners of GBV because that would go on forever.
But man, I was really happy to see some like really new breweries
went in some stuff.
Malibu Brewing won an award, a lot of local sponsor.
Yeah, medals. It was cool.
It's exciting. Gives people another launch.
Yeah, that's rad to read for them.
And then just to see that other people are making good beer.
Right.
You know, so and the, the old tongue genre, this is a
it's almost cider like, hmm.
It's like it hits you with the apple right away and then you get like this
really smooth, sweet light caramel finish to it.
It's not super carbonated and it's only like a 5% and it's not like over fruited.
So you still have that light crispness to like a traditional sour
like this is fall in a glass it's fan fucking tastic
and I even told my buddy Tyler he's nosey neighbor
brewing on the gram this is the best mob craft beer I've ever had in my life.
Dan Wow.
And I, yeah, I told him that because it's words 100% true in my eyes.
That's awesome.
I was nervous because like originally I thought something like an apple
jolly rancher, which to me is like the most disgusting thing I can think of.
When you went more on the cider end of things
and then you were saying like a calm, you know, caramel piece and whatnot.
Sounds like it was good.
Oh, it's really good.
A little bit of the tart finish up the end, you know, remind you
that it's a sour and not just some sweet beer.
Yeah, fantastic.
Then they canned it, too.
Yeah, they are.
Every month they hold this crowdsourced contest, and if your beer wins,
they design a logo for it.
They can it, they keg it, and they'll sell it out
to bars for like, you know, put on their taps and whatnot.
And any time you're around the brewery and if your beer that one is on tap,
you get to drink it for free. Ding.
So that that's pretty rad too.
That is pretty rad shit.
There's a person submit something took a month long vacation out there and.
There you go. Another beer.
That's very sweet Well cheers to throw it is.
Because handles nosy neighbor brewing there's a lot of his own home brewing
his name is Tyler.
He's a super, super great guy.
I mean, it's no Duke Drinkability when it comes to gram handles, but
sounds delicious.
All right?
Awkward transition.
We'll go back to some news.
We know you have a thing for Duke a drinkability.
It is you know.
It's the best thing always.
So good.
All right. So back to the gross thing.
As the break out, Heineken is launching a whiskey infused beer in Cambodia.
They're calling it ABC Reserve.
It sounds disgusting. The horrible name.
Yeah. Idea.
Absolutely. Barf city.
That's what it stands for. What is ABC has to say?
Yeah thing.
If I wanted to puke, I'd have like an Irish car bomb or something.
I don't need I don't I don't need your fucking ABC shit reserve.
That sounds awful.
Heineken stop torturing the rest of the world
with your shitty beer and your shittier ideas.
Next thing you know, they're going to come out with nonalcoholic
whiskey infused beer.
Just make it completely pointless.
But yeah, nonalcoholic craft.
Cocktail whiskey isn't. Yeah.
Yeah, that sounds.
Oh, God. Well, I'm just going straight.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
You guys know we've got a fucking Dr.
Pepper. You don't.
You don't need to have this trash.
Oh, fuck you again.
I said it down here in Southern California, an outlaw
suspected of being drunk leads police
on pursuit via horseback. Wow.
I was going to ask what considered him an outlaw?
Yeah, found that out pretty quick.
Yeah, I.
Think he's playing some Bon Jovi while he's running away.
Yeehaw analysis.
Pected of being under the influence of writing.
They start saying.
I'm paying and I just.
I just read poorly, but I'm just reading.
Well, riding a horse through city streets was arrested after leading police
on a pursuit in Southern California.
Officers in a patrol car chased the suspect Saturday
in Whittier, about 20 miles southeast of downtown L.A.
an intoxicated person on a horse galloping through traffic,
refusing, refusing to pull the horse over.
That was afternoon.
Whittier Police posted on Instagram the pursue ended with the DUI suspect
in custody and the horse receiving lots of love from the officers
it most the pictures just the officers hanging out the horse
and like feeding them carrots and
that's legit.
Yeah. Good times. Way to go.
You fucking. Weird. Makes you wonder though.
Do they just have carrots on hand or they're like, Hey,
you got to go get some carrots because this horse kicks ass like shit.
It's not a cheat day. Let me grab my lunch.
Too much cheat data too much.
And then we're going to bring this one down to Florida,
because that's where this kind of shit happens.
Suspected impaired driver wasn't even drunk at all, I suspect.
Just you wait.
They were just Floridian.
A suspected drunk driver traveling all over the roadway in
Crestview, Florida, turned out to be a completely sober nine year old boy.
Oh, my. Goodness. Oh, dang.
That's not the strangest part of the story.
However, he was stopped after giving a grown man a ride home.
It happened around 8 a.m.
on Sunday and a witness to the boy's driving is the one who alerted deputies.
Crestview is about 150 miles west of Tallahassee on the Florida
Panhandle, where all the classic, classiest of things happen.
A witness spotted a car entering Oak Hill Road from a neighborhood around 8 a.m.
and suspected
the driver was impaired due to the vehicle being all over the roadway.
He cut off the car near the intersection of Highway 85
and Old Bethel Road and noticed a child was behind the wheel.
He told the child again,
the passenger, and pulled the car into a convenience store parking lot.
The nine year old boy was alone in the car
and told deputies he was returning home after giving a 22 year old man a ride home
to a residence in Brick Hill Court seven miles away.
The child had traveled nearly three miles when the witness intervened.
When contacted the child's mother says she was not aware
the boy had left the home.
An investigation led to the October arrest of a 22 year
old Crestview man who is charged with child neglect
without great bodily harm and possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana.
If you're a parent, how do you know not know your nine year old child?
Not in the house.
Oh, I think there was a line missing.
It was I didn't know he had left yet.
I was going to have a pick me up a pack of cigars.
Mm hmm.
Something like. That.
Is that one of those cities where you can still write a note
for your kid to bring your beer?
Did anybody do that when you read that thing?
My parents wrote me notes to my mom to get her cigarets. No.
Heck, yeah. Please allow Erica to do that.
That is me.
That would've never flown down here.
I didn't even know that was a thing.
A totally universal man there.
I think.
That's right. Yeah. The never say die.
Never say die.
Always say smoke.
Poisoned.
I think. That's.
And I've only heard those kind of stories.
I mean, I think like my dad told me, like his dad would write him notes, like,
you know, dear sir, my son needs to bring back, you know,
like a 12 pack of Budweiser or whatever it is.
And that's. Great. Yeah, well, he knows everyone.
So all we do here is you can still legally drink at a bar
or if you're underage and with your parents. Oh, that's right.
We press about that. Yeah.
If you're like if you're.
But you're under 18 if you're like 18 to 21,
it doesn't work like under 18 because you can't be an adult.
No other reason when shit around, you know.
It's like under 21.
Oh okay. But David intervene.
But the bartender has to give consent to it.
Sure.
I just thought it was something where it's like
if you're a minor, the parents could consent,
so you had to be under 18 for that to work.
And if you're from 18 to 21, since you're an adult, but you can't drink
or just yet.
Yeah, that's a little bit of a gray area.
In national.
I forget.
Then again, that is smooth.
They don't they don't follow it. But
Wisconsin and
Wisconsin drinking, I don't believe it in me.
That's bullshit.
I don't believe a word you're saying.
Horse shit. I was. Aw, shit. Yes.
Outlaw shit.
Don't get it twisted.
Sorry. True.
We're not going to hit the hour mark tonight.
I think we're going to be right around 42 minutes.
So he tried to help you out, too?
I mean, I think about 12 minutes of it was frickin shit.
We're really delivering.
I'm so sorry. Home.
He is going to turn to you next time.
Has got the gloves off.
Yeah. Look out over those bows, man.
She's Tarzan.
I'm just saying how hopefully is. I'm not going to get to.
Put solely with the ghost peppers in it.
You'll find her in the bathroom for, like, 4 hours.
Oh, you're going. To come out?
I can only hope finding the toilet and not the garbage can.
Oh, don't give. Me. The heat.
So they put lose
sweating.
But I love alliteration.
Oh, who doesn't? Yeah.
Alterations. Great.
Especially when we're talking about being in the bathroom.
All right, I'm going to hit some music
before this takes an even steeper fall.
I think you are for listening.
Hello to Vanessa.
I have it as a I realize that.
Vanessa, don't let your nine year old, if you have one, drive your car.
It's not supposed to happen.
That bad idea? Yeah.
