1
00:00:00,900 --> 00:00:05,005
Ga ga ga.

2
00:00:05,005 --> 00:00:07,340
Okay, good, good, good, good.

3
00:00:07,974 --> 00:00:09,242
Bucket remix.

4
00:00:09,242 --> 00:00:11,878
I like barrel,
but but the boom, boom, boom, boom,

5
00:00:11,878 --> 00:00:15,115
boom, boom, boom.

6
00:00:15,115 --> 00:00:18,351
Good, well, good, good to me. I'm cool.

7
00:00:18,685 --> 00:00:21,087
Yeah. Okay, I've got to go back.

8
00:00:21,354 --> 00:00:23,423
Erica okay.

9
00:00:23,423 --> 00:00:26,159
It's like a inside joke thing at work.

10
00:00:26,292 --> 00:00:30,063
When people ask us dumb questions,
we just respond back with pride.

11
00:00:31,197 --> 00:00:33,733
No, I'm. Good. Mel,
let's do a reenactment.

12
00:00:33,733 --> 00:00:36,136
You be Flex and I'll be a customer.

13
00:00:36,136 --> 00:00:38,038
Hey, man, where is the.

14
00:00:38,038 --> 00:00:39,205
I guess, sir, because it's Flex.

15
00:00:39,205 --> 00:00:41,341
Where is the catch up?

16
00:00:41,341 --> 00:00:45,245
Okay, I did.

17
00:00:45,278 --> 00:00:47,547
I nailed it.

18
00:00:47,547 --> 00:00:59,225
You got the part.

19
00:00:59,225 --> 00:01:00,427
Welcome in, everybody.

20
00:01:00,427 --> 00:01:03,063
It's the Craft Beer Republic,
and I almost missed my cue.

21
00:01:03,263 --> 00:01:04,431
Thanks for listening.

22
00:01:04,431 --> 00:01:06,399
Thanks for drinking, thanks.

23
00:01:06,399 --> 00:01:08,334
For drink and thanks for joining me.

24
00:01:08,334 --> 00:01:10,703
Clearly I've been drinking.
Melanie at the back goes

25
00:01:12,138 --> 00:01:12,505
sober.

26
00:01:12,505 --> 00:01:16,509
One flex cover did not always I am Greg.

27
00:01:16,509 --> 00:01:20,580
I am being joined by the latest guy

28
00:01:20,713 --> 00:01:22,782
Yeah sorry for ruining everybody's night.

29
00:01:23,283 --> 00:01:24,117
For how many.

30
00:01:24,117 --> 00:01:26,553
Taking in fucking Austin Powers
piss over there. Yeah.

31
00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:27,420
All right.

32
00:01:27,487 --> 00:01:29,522
Yeah, I. I

33
00:01:32,559 --> 00:01:33,660
there's ghosts on Nell's.

34
00:01:33,660 --> 00:01:34,594
Camera.

35
00:01:36,429 --> 00:01:38,932
And joining Greg and flex.

36
00:01:38,998 --> 00:01:41,201
It's mostly beer, girl.

37
00:01:42,102 --> 00:01:43,002
I got

38
00:01:43,770 --> 00:01:44,370
and freezing.

39
00:01:44,370 --> 00:01:46,439
Her ass off
all the way in the middle of New York.

40
00:01:46,773 --> 00:01:49,142
Oh, the. Random sounds in the background.

41
00:01:49,142 --> 00:01:52,178
Oh, she had introduced herself.

42
00:01:52,178 --> 00:01:54,180
Currently currently beating a child.

43
00:01:54,247 --> 00:01:56,516
If only you guys could see that.
Just take care.

44
00:01:56,883 --> 00:01:57,417
Now, she's.

45
00:01:57,417 --> 00:01:59,552
Being to in New York, not Alabama. Right.

46
00:02:00,420 --> 00:02:04,691
Amy, listen, be fresh
and do not interrupt my beer podcast.

47
00:02:04,691 --> 00:02:05,825
That's the two words.

48
00:02:05,825 --> 00:02:07,861
The two rules
I have in the house. That's it. Yeah.

49
00:02:07,961 --> 00:02:09,929
And do the damn dishes.

50
00:02:09,929 --> 00:02:14,834
Also that my two bugaboos are bear traps
then having sex with old ladies for money.

51
00:02:14,834 --> 00:02:17,003
That's those are my two bugaboos.

52
00:02:17,003 --> 00:02:18,605
Oh, wow.

53
00:02:18,605 --> 00:02:21,608
He is turning up the heat. I'm hot.

54
00:02:22,575 --> 00:02:24,844
18. Where do I sign up?

55
00:02:24,844 --> 00:02:25,178
Yeah.

56
00:02:25,178 --> 00:02:28,148
If I have to put on an old lady wig
and wear and rock a cane, I. Will

57
00:02:30,717 --> 00:02:31,918
come over here is something.

58
00:02:31,918 --> 00:02:34,187
Do you get totally. Pull it off.

59
00:02:34,387 --> 00:02:34,954
Wait a minute.

60
00:02:34,954 --> 00:02:37,023
No, you're supposed to say.

61
00:02:38,057 --> 00:02:39,993
But since I can, I think I will.

62
00:02:39,993 --> 00:02:42,629
Anyways, that's
what the show is going to be like today.

63
00:02:42,629 --> 00:02:46,466
Everybody find us on the Socials
Craft Beer Republic, of course beer girl

64
00:02:46,466 --> 00:02:50,837
underscore Melissa and bless me a beer
underscore is in between each one.

65
00:02:51,271 --> 00:02:53,940
Join us on the socials.
All that good stuff.

66
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,643
All right. Lots to get to today.

67
00:02:56,643 --> 00:03:00,013
This is, of course, that we're recording
the day after Christmas is dropping.

68
00:03:00,013 --> 00:03:01,948
A couple of days later.

69
00:03:02,048 --> 00:03:04,751
Flex has a bet
that I'm excited to get an update on.

70
00:03:04,951 --> 00:03:06,586
Oh yeah some yeah.

71
00:03:06,586 --> 00:03:09,155
Some breaking news that I'm excited.

72
00:03:09,155 --> 00:03:11,191
Yeah.
You have to remind me everything about it.

73
00:03:11,191 --> 00:03:13,893
Some some big craft
breweries are closing down.

74
00:03:14,127 --> 00:03:17,530
And we've got a couple lists
for flexibility over there.

75
00:03:17,530 --> 00:03:19,465
I love lists.

76
00:03:19,465 --> 00:03:21,734
We know end of the year
there's always good lists.

77
00:03:21,734 --> 00:03:22,902
That's at the end of the year.

78
00:03:22,902 --> 00:03:26,739
So if you don't mind, I think
I'll kick things off with some hydration.

79
00:03:26,973 --> 00:03:29,509
I got a beer from a friend over here.

80
00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:30,376
Let's get into it

81
00:03:39,752 --> 00:03:50,897
now. Oh, interim Brian was so nice.

82
00:03:51,264 --> 00:03:55,068
He picked up a four pack of focal banger
and had a topper

83
00:03:55,235 --> 00:03:56,736
and saved one of beach for me.

84
00:03:56,736 --> 00:04:00,640
So I thought I the end of the year,
I'll go out with a delicious big bang.

85
00:04:00,907 --> 00:04:02,709
I'm not talking about Flex,

86
00:04:02,709 --> 00:04:07,013
but I'm going out with Focal Banger,
of course from the Alchemist.

87
00:04:07,013 --> 00:04:11,017
Thanks intern Brian 7% nine The Ivy Hughes

88
00:04:11,017 --> 00:04:14,821
and Big Long Description
American IPA with Citra Mosaic Hops.

89
00:04:15,188 --> 00:04:19,892
Oh, it has a 4.41 on tap and a 100 on beer

90
00:04:19,892 --> 00:04:22,495
advocate because all the beer nerds
can't get enough.

91
00:04:22,996 --> 00:04:24,998
Well, you can't go wrong
with any of those ratings.

92
00:04:25,198 --> 00:04:26,165
No, of course not.

93
00:04:26,165 --> 00:04:26,833
On the schnoz.

94
00:04:26,833 --> 00:04:29,035
Lots of citrus, lots of orange.

95
00:04:29,035 --> 00:04:31,437
Oh, so good
that the taste follows right up.

96
00:04:31,571 --> 00:04:32,438
Citrusy

97
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:34,874
orange.

98
00:04:35,241 --> 00:04:37,744
Kind of like a grapefruit pith at the end.

99
00:04:37,744 --> 00:04:39,178
You can get that at the end.

100
00:04:39,178 --> 00:04:41,281
Their finish is dry and piney.

101
00:04:41,881 --> 00:04:43,483
It is so good.

102
00:04:43,483 --> 00:04:46,052
Whenever this comes around
I always sort of grab one.

103
00:04:46,052 --> 00:04:47,620
I think I like it better than any tapas.

104
00:04:47,620 --> 00:04:49,022
Don't tell anybody.

105
00:04:49,022 --> 00:04:50,723
I was going to say the same thing.

106
00:04:50,723 --> 00:04:52,792
I've heard that from a lot of people.

107
00:04:53,192 --> 00:04:54,961
Yeah, I bucked the trends.

108
00:04:54,961 --> 00:04:58,298
I like this one better than heavy tapas
and I like blind pig better than Pliny

109
00:04:58,298 --> 00:04:58,731
the Elder.

110
00:04:58,731 --> 00:05:00,233
So sue me.

111
00:05:00,233 --> 00:05:02,969
What are you going to do about it? People

112
00:05:02,969 --> 00:05:03,903
anyways? So we're.

113
00:05:03,903 --> 00:05:05,772
Probably sue you if. I know.

114
00:05:05,772 --> 00:05:06,939
If that's what you want.

115
00:05:06,939 --> 00:05:07,240
Yeah.

116
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,010
Choose going to file a lawsuit. So

117
00:05:11,644 --> 00:05:13,980
anyways, thanks again
intern Brian very much.

118
00:05:13,980 --> 00:05:16,349
Enjoying this.
I tell you to go follow him on the ground.

119
00:05:16,349 --> 00:05:20,320
But he pulled a 1995 on us
and doesn't have Graham anymore.

120
00:05:20,353 --> 00:05:22,188
Yeah, he had a run away from Flex.

121
00:05:22,188 --> 00:05:22,722
Yeah.

122
00:05:22,922 --> 00:05:24,090
I will never run away from.

123
00:05:24,090 --> 00:05:25,858
You, so. Please don't.

124
00:05:25,858 --> 00:05:27,360
Yeah, don't you worry.

125
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,761
All right. Like I said, lots to get to.

126
00:05:28,761 --> 00:05:32,532
But before we find out what these two are
drinking, fill us in.

127
00:05:32,532 --> 00:05:37,904
Flex on the on the bet that was made off
the air between you and intern Brian.

128
00:05:37,904 --> 00:05:40,740
Speaking of which, over the World
Cup. Okay.

129
00:05:40,740 --> 00:05:45,645
So we were discussing the we're going
into the semifinals of the World Cup,

130
00:05:45,645 --> 00:05:47,680
so it was good. You guys both had semis.

131
00:05:47,714 --> 00:05:53,219
It was Croatia versus Argentina,
and then it was France versus Morocco.

132
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,191
And I was pulling for Messi and Argentina
just about the entire way

133
00:05:58,191 --> 00:05:59,225
through the tournament.

134
00:05:59,225 --> 00:06:04,030
And apparently Brian was rooting
for France to come back and repeat

135
00:06:04,030 --> 00:06:07,166
from four years ago taken back to back
World Cup championships.

136
00:06:07,333 --> 00:06:11,704
We we so we bet if Argentina would win

137
00:06:11,971 --> 00:06:15,508
and then Brian would send me a six pack
beer.

138
00:06:15,541 --> 00:06:18,511
Male Yeah, and the France would have won

139
00:06:18,611 --> 00:06:21,247
then, you know,
I would have had to send him local.

140
00:06:21,547 --> 00:06:24,384
And if neither of the teams
made it to the finals,

141
00:06:24,784 --> 00:06:29,856
then we would have both had to like Chug
Bud 55 or something like that.

142
00:06:29,856 --> 00:06:32,191
Now I think the loser would also have to
still.

143
00:06:32,191 --> 00:06:34,193
Chuck but 55, is that not the case?

144
00:06:34,193 --> 00:06:36,362
No, that was not the case. Okay.

145
00:06:36,696 --> 00:06:37,630
Yes, the Claire

146
00:06:37,630 --> 00:06:39,665
because I what I wanted to ask him
what would have happened

147
00:06:39,665 --> 00:06:42,902
if neither of the teams were, you know,
if just so happened

148
00:06:42,902 --> 00:06:46,038
they both lost in the semifinals,
you know, who knows?

149
00:06:46,038 --> 00:06:48,007
Anything can happen in the world of sports
nowadays.

150
00:06:48,007 --> 00:06:49,542
But that didn't happen.

151
00:06:49,542 --> 00:06:52,011
So it just came
straight up into a beer bet.

152
00:06:52,412 --> 00:06:54,147
And so you won? Of course.

153
00:06:54,147 --> 00:06:54,747
I won.

154
00:06:54,747 --> 00:06:58,050
It was probably the greatest game in World
Cup history.

155
00:06:58,050 --> 00:07:00,453
I know you're not a fan of soccer
or anything, but.

156
00:07:01,053 --> 00:07:01,921
Yeah.

157
00:07:01,954 --> 00:07:03,890
Well,
did you watch as much of it as I did?

158
00:07:03,890 --> 00:07:06,959
I watched more than you for sure,
because I like to go to the bar

159
00:07:06,959 --> 00:07:09,262
during the day,
and that's when most of the games were on.

160
00:07:09,262 --> 00:07:11,431
So yeah, I got to see a lot of them.

161
00:07:11,464 --> 00:07:13,166
Right fucking on. Yeah.

162
00:07:13,166 --> 00:07:14,700
You know, you bring up a good point.

163
00:07:14,700 --> 00:07:17,270
I may want to become a quote
unquote soccer fan

164
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:19,472
just because then I have
an excuse to go de drink.

165
00:07:20,506 --> 00:07:21,774
It's the best

166
00:07:21,774 --> 00:07:26,078
because you can still wake up early,
get all of the important responsibilities

167
00:07:26,078 --> 00:07:30,016
done, and you're like free by like 1230,
1:00, big time.

168
00:07:30,049 --> 00:07:31,050
You have a couple.

169
00:07:31,050 --> 00:07:32,151
It really is.

170
00:07:32,151 --> 00:07:32,752
Yeah.

171
00:07:32,785 --> 00:07:34,854
That's
that's the only part worth watching.

172
00:07:34,887 --> 00:07:37,256
But I think I'd rather just claim myself

173
00:07:37,256 --> 00:07:39,692
to be an alcoholic
and just start drinking at 12 anyways.

174
00:07:40,593 --> 00:07:41,861
Sans soccer.

175
00:07:41,861 --> 00:07:42,995
That's a win win.

176
00:07:42,995 --> 00:07:45,765
Yeah.

177
00:07:45,765 --> 00:07:46,799
I mean, Italy didn't

178
00:07:46,799 --> 00:07:50,436
even make it to the World Cup,
so I mean, I'm out immediately, you know.

179
00:07:51,037 --> 00:07:53,005
That was like
two out of the last three for them.

180
00:07:53,005 --> 00:07:53,906
That's not very good.

181
00:07:53,906 --> 00:07:54,974
But but yeah.

182
00:07:54,974 --> 00:07:57,510
Lo lo and behold, Argentina won.

183
00:07:57,577 --> 00:07:58,110
I want to be here.

184
00:07:58,110 --> 00:08:02,448
But I was very honorable
in winning as well.

185
00:08:02,448 --> 00:08:05,184
And I told Brian that he didn't
even have to send me anything

186
00:08:05,785 --> 00:08:08,221
because the game was really
just that good.

187
00:08:08,821 --> 00:08:12,358
So you're just a fan of,
I would say, sports in general

188
00:08:12,358 --> 00:08:18,264
and watching that, like
I didn't know Argentina ties at all, but,

189
00:08:19,232 --> 00:08:19,532
you know,

190
00:08:19,532 --> 00:08:22,835
watching all the close calls
and everything like that, it was amazing

191
00:08:22,835 --> 00:08:27,139
how excited you can get for a country
that you have nothing to do with,

192
00:08:27,507 --> 00:08:31,177
but how hyped up everybody
from those countries are.

193
00:08:31,711 --> 00:08:36,148
It really is like the biggest deal
in sports every four years.

194
00:08:36,148 --> 00:08:38,317
It's amazing. I'll take your word for it.

195
00:08:39,218 --> 00:08:40,920
Knowing Brian, he's an honorable guy.

196
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,421
He will still send you beer.

197
00:08:42,421 --> 00:08:44,123
That's just the way he is.

198
00:08:44,123 --> 00:08:45,691
And that's. Fine. Yeah.

199
00:08:45,691 --> 00:08:47,059
Why not?

200
00:08:47,059 --> 00:08:48,794
For you. I'm okay with that.

201
00:08:48,794 --> 00:08:49,762
But he, you know.

202
00:08:49,762 --> 00:08:51,397
Why would you not want the beer?

203
00:08:51,397 --> 00:08:54,500
I don't understand this as a coach,
because you were just like.

204
00:08:54,634 --> 00:08:55,968
I'm. Just so nice.

205
00:08:55,968 --> 00:08:57,537
Like, even if I win, just don't say I.

206
00:08:57,537 --> 00:08:59,906
The beer, bitch. Send me the beer.
I want it. Yeah.

207
00:09:00,306 --> 00:09:01,908
Yeah. Does a. Motherfucking. Bet.

208
00:09:01,908 --> 00:09:03,209
All right. A gentleman. I don't.

209
00:09:03,209 --> 00:09:05,011
I don't know. There's nothing more
I can say.

210
00:09:05,011 --> 00:09:06,479
Just knowing Deb.

211
00:09:06,479 --> 00:09:08,881
Deb would have been like
you made a bet, fucker.

212
00:09:08,881 --> 00:09:10,116
You send him that beer.

213
00:09:10,116 --> 00:09:11,584
It's the Midwest and me.

214
00:09:11,584 --> 00:09:13,653
We're just such nice, kind people.

215
00:09:13,653 --> 00:09:13,953
Yeah.

216
00:09:13,953 --> 00:09:17,123
Stop being so nice
and start getting what you want.

217
00:09:18,624 --> 00:09:21,427
He's nice when you ask him questions
at all, you.

218
00:09:21,427 --> 00:09:23,696
Know about I'll.
I'll take that into consideration.

219
00:09:23,829 --> 00:09:24,263
Yeah.

220
00:09:24,497 --> 00:09:28,801
He's also not nice when he's late and
holds up the podcast and then gets cranky.

221
00:09:29,569 --> 00:09:30,536
Shots fired.

222
00:09:30,536 --> 00:09:32,438
Bang, bang, bang, bang. I.

223
00:09:32,438 --> 00:09:34,540
I, I admit I was wrong.

224
00:09:34,540 --> 00:09:35,474
I admit I was wrong.

225
00:09:35,474 --> 00:09:36,375
Okay, well.

226
00:09:36,375 --> 00:09:37,643
That's good.

227
00:09:37,643 --> 00:09:38,311
Yeah, exactly.

228
00:09:38,311 --> 00:09:39,245
So do you.

229
00:09:39,245 --> 00:09:41,213
You could never do any wrong in my eyes.
It's the truth.

230
00:09:41,213 --> 00:09:43,149
God damn it.

231
00:09:43,149 --> 00:09:44,717
It takes a big man to admit
when he's wrong.

232
00:09:44,717 --> 00:09:50,389
And I'm looking at a big man
more ways than one daddy.

233
00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:52,592
Anyways. All right, so we're
recording this day after Christmas.

234
00:09:52,892 --> 00:09:54,961
How was everybody's Christmas meal?

235
00:09:54,961 --> 00:10:00,633
Was there a pasta course involved? Yes.

236
00:10:00,666 --> 00:10:01,601
Yes, there was.

237
00:10:01,601 --> 00:10:03,502
There was tons of big ziti.

238
00:10:03,502 --> 00:10:05,972
We had fresh baked bread.

239
00:10:05,972 --> 00:10:09,108
We call
we actually if you're in New York, Italian

240
00:10:09,108 --> 00:10:11,577
or New Jersey Italian,
then you know what lard bread is.

241
00:10:12,178 --> 00:10:14,981
It's like this really fatty,
delicious bread

242
00:10:14,981 --> 00:10:17,984
that has, like, pieces of ground, like.

243
00:10:18,050 --> 00:10:21,721
Like pepperoni, really, like, baked into
it, but little, like, chunks of it.

244
00:10:21,988 --> 00:10:22,722
We call it lard bread.

245
00:10:22,722 --> 00:10:23,656
It's fucking I'm

246
00:10:23,656 --> 00:10:27,893
sure there's also a lot of lard in there
when they bake it, but it's the best.

247
00:10:27,893 --> 00:10:28,628
So we had things.

248
00:10:28,628 --> 00:10:32,865
Yeah, we had the
we had a seafood appetizer, obviously,

249
00:10:32,865 --> 00:10:37,403
crab legs, calamari and clams.

250
00:10:37,403 --> 00:10:41,340
The usual like we try to do the feast
of the seven fishes in the appetizer

251
00:10:42,208 --> 00:10:43,576
and then we. Move up still have.

252
00:10:43,576 --> 00:10:45,811
Seven cookies is that was.

253
00:10:45,811 --> 00:10:47,647
A common. Thing among like.

254
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,448
New York Italian.

255
00:10:49,448 --> 00:10:52,051
Usually on New Year's
Eve you do the feast of.

256
00:10:52,685 --> 00:10:54,420
The Feast of the Seven Fishes.

257
00:10:54,420 --> 00:10:56,355
That's what it's called, correct?

258
00:10:56,355 --> 00:10:59,558
Wow. Wow. George, the ocean called.

259
00:10:59,558 --> 00:11:01,560
They said they're running out of shrimp.

260
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:03,896
Learn something new
every podcast. Get on my lip.

261
00:11:03,963 --> 00:11:05,031
I know. Every time she's out.

262
00:11:05,031 --> 00:11:08,067
We learned so new last time we learned
about the pasta cause now, remember.

263
00:11:08,067 --> 00:11:10,369
Last year, Dominic the donkey?

264
00:11:10,369 --> 00:11:12,371
Yeah, yeah, that's it. Yeah.

265
00:11:12,505 --> 00:11:15,174
So you didn't even know about it? Dominic
the donkey? No.

266
00:11:15,174 --> 00:11:18,110
And that song came on. My kids
were listening to a Christmas playlist.

267
00:11:18,144 --> 00:11:20,513
No fucking way.
I think on Christmas Eve or some shit.

268
00:11:20,513 --> 00:11:22,915
And that song came on and I was like,
Holy balls.

269
00:11:23,816 --> 00:11:25,551
Yeah, but. Mal, no offense to you.

270
00:11:25,551 --> 00:11:29,522
Every time that song comes
on, my kids go Alexa next.

271
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:31,957
Oh, yeah,

272
00:11:31,957 --> 00:11:35,761
that is
their cue every time that song comes on.

273
00:11:36,095 --> 00:11:38,364
And I was like, Now don't do that.

274
00:11:38,564 --> 00:11:41,367
If it wasn't part of my culture,
I would never listen to it.

275
00:11:42,568 --> 00:11:44,303
I would never. It's just ridiculous.

276
00:11:44,303 --> 00:11:45,337
But it's funny.

277
00:11:45,337 --> 00:11:48,340
And he's so sorry, you eat some fat
bread, had a lot of fish.

278
00:11:48,674 --> 00:11:50,943
And we drank like 15 bottles of wine.

279
00:11:50,943 --> 00:11:53,579
So that was great.
Nice. Typical Italian Christian. Yeah.

280
00:11:53,612 --> 00:11:55,147
It's a lot of wine, huh? Yeah.

281
00:11:55,147 --> 00:11:56,348
Yeah. What about you, Fleksy?

282
00:11:56,348 --> 00:11:57,550
How was your guys?

283
00:11:57,850 --> 00:12:00,186
My Christmas was, I would say, low key,

284
00:12:00,186 --> 00:12:05,558
but I was so exhausted
because it was the worst week.

285
00:12:05,558 --> 00:12:07,993
But when I say worst week,
I mean it was like the busiest week

286
00:12:07,993 --> 00:12:12,364
we've seen at like in the retail
level since the pandemic.

287
00:12:13,332 --> 00:12:15,968
So I was
like extremely exhausted from work.

288
00:12:16,669 --> 00:12:18,938
We had my folks over for Christmas Eve.

289
00:12:18,938 --> 00:12:22,608
I got two brewery gift cards.

290
00:12:22,608 --> 00:12:26,278
I got to liquor store certificates,

291
00:12:26,912 --> 00:12:29,448
so I really made out with that.

292
00:12:29,448 --> 00:12:32,084
But then I slept for 11 hours.

293
00:12:32,384 --> 00:12:34,053
Damn wife.

294
00:12:34,053 --> 00:12:36,956
Yeah, I slept for like 8:00 to 8 p.m.

295
00:12:36,956 --> 00:12:39,692
to 7 a.m., least into Christmas Day.

296
00:12:40,059 --> 00:12:43,262
And then I was so exhausted
from everything again

297
00:12:43,863 --> 00:12:47,199
that I fell asleep at 7 p.m.,
so I was only awake

298
00:12:47,199 --> 00:12:50,436
for maybe 12 hours of daylight
before I fell asleep again.

299
00:12:50,970 --> 00:12:53,372
I love that for you. You need it?

300
00:12:53,372 --> 00:12:55,474
Oh yeah. I 100% needed it.

301
00:12:55,474 --> 00:12:57,643
And then I proceeded to sleep

302
00:12:57,643 --> 00:13:02,148
ten and a half hours
and then I woke up today at 5:30 a.m.

303
00:13:02,148 --> 00:13:03,849
and then I was like, back to normal.

304
00:13:03,849 --> 00:13:06,118
Got down and a lot of sleep. Yeah, but.

305
00:13:06,252 --> 00:13:07,253
The thing about him

306
00:13:07,253 --> 00:13:10,322
is that he really doesn't sleep
as much as he acts like he does.

307
00:13:10,322 --> 00:13:14,760
He like, gets these, like, waves of I,
my body gives out on me.

308
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,530
But you're up at like 330 in the morning
every day.

309
00:13:17,863 --> 00:13:19,765
Yeah. Between three and 330.

310
00:13:19,765 --> 00:13:21,000
Normal for anyone.

311
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,002
Now let me tell you,
I did that for a couple of years.

312
00:13:23,002 --> 00:13:25,304
I was working the morning shift
at a news station.

313
00:13:25,304 --> 00:13:26,972
I was up at 330 every day.

314
00:13:26,972 --> 00:13:28,707
That's the fucking worst.

315
00:13:28,707 --> 00:13:30,709
Oh, it's a BS newsman No.

316
00:13:31,010 --> 00:13:33,279
There's no getting used to it. Like,
I was like, Oh, give it a few months.

317
00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:34,146
I'll get used to it.

318
00:13:34,146 --> 00:13:37,249
The longer I went on that schedule,
the less used to it

319
00:13:37,249 --> 00:13:38,484
I got like the first few weeks.

320
00:13:38,484 --> 00:13:41,787
I'm like, I'm going to take melatonin
and go to bed super early at 9:00

321
00:13:41,821 --> 00:13:44,190
that I'm just going to bed like 11 or 12,
especially as a single dude.

322
00:13:44,623 --> 00:13:47,693
And then as I went on later and later,
I'm like, Yeah,

323
00:13:47,693 --> 00:13:50,896
I'm going to bed at midnight,
you know, by like 334.

324
00:13:51,063 --> 00:13:54,033
And I tell you,
when I first started doing this shift, it

325
00:13:54,033 --> 00:13:58,904
probably took me close to a year
to get used to the hours like I was.

326
00:13:59,338 --> 00:13:59,972
This was my,

327
00:13:59,972 --> 00:14:03,475
my wife works, you know, opposite shifts
like around noon to eight stuff like that.

328
00:14:04,143 --> 00:14:06,645
And I would be falling asleep

329
00:14:06,645 --> 00:14:10,683
when my kids were like three and one like,
and I would be like

330
00:14:10,683 --> 00:14:13,752
zonked out on the couch by 7:00
and she would come home from work.

331
00:14:13,752 --> 00:14:16,422
Like.
What are you doing? Sleeping. The kids.

332
00:14:16,422 --> 00:14:17,656
Oh, my God. And

333
00:14:19,458 --> 00:14:21,994
that I would just be like, I'll be so,
you know.

334
00:14:21,994 --> 00:14:23,162
Disappointed in myself.

335
00:14:23,162 --> 00:14:25,898
But at the same time, I'm like,
you don't understand.

336
00:14:25,898 --> 00:14:27,466
What it's like. Nobody.

337
00:14:27,466 --> 00:14:29,468
If you don't do it,
you don't get it. Yeah, it's.

338
00:14:29,468 --> 00:14:32,938
It's amazing
how just like in the snap of a finger,

339
00:14:32,938 --> 00:14:37,476
you just get so from, like,
you know, not tired at all to it.

340
00:14:37,476 --> 00:14:38,611
Can't keep your eyes open.

341
00:14:38,611 --> 00:14:39,078
Oh yeah.

342
00:14:39,078 --> 00:14:43,315
I remember after that job ended,
like the first week after that

343
00:14:43,315 --> 00:14:46,919
ended,
I slept like ten, 12 hours a night for,

344
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:49,989
like a week straight and then all sudden,
like, after a week, I was like.

345
00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:52,925
Wow, I feel happier. Like, also.

346
00:14:53,225 --> 00:14:56,262
I got caught up on so much missing
sleep over the last two and a half years.

347
00:14:56,262 --> 00:14:58,898
Like, I just I felt better to the point
where I was like, Man,

348
00:14:59,265 --> 00:15:00,432
I bet it was a real asshole.

349
00:15:00,432 --> 00:15:02,201
The last couple of years.

350
00:15:02,201 --> 00:15:05,604
Every nurse
starts on nights in the hospital.

351
00:15:05,604 --> 00:15:08,741
So like my first couple of years
working at the hospital, I'd work

352
00:15:08,741 --> 00:15:13,412
7 to 7 day and Lou would have to
wake me up at 5:30 p.m.

353
00:15:13,412 --> 00:15:14,446
to get ready for work.

354
00:15:14,446 --> 00:15:16,582
And I would just cry and I'd be. Like,
Why am I.

355
00:15:16,615 --> 00:15:17,716
Not a normal person?

356
00:15:17,716 --> 00:15:20,986
Like I'm like talking to my coworkers
and saying, you know,

357
00:15:21,220 --> 00:15:26,125
people like real people that are week
during the day, we're different than them.

358
00:15:26,125 --> 00:15:27,993
We're just like genetically different.

359
00:15:27,993 --> 00:15:31,196
We're not the same mentally, physically,
anything.

360
00:15:31,630 --> 00:15:33,032
And once I got on days and I was like,

361
00:15:33,032 --> 00:15:36,302
Oh shit, yes,
this is how it's supposed to be.

362
00:15:36,735 --> 00:15:37,503
Yeah, yeah.

363
00:15:37,503 --> 00:15:38,370
My, my job.

364
00:15:38,370 --> 00:15:41,540
Before the morning job
I was working 6 p.m.

365
00:15:41,540 --> 00:15:43,042
to 3 a.m.

366
00:15:43,042 --> 00:15:46,078
I think like I went from working
the night shift

367
00:15:46,278 --> 00:15:49,181
then to the morning man and each time is
like, fuck, what am I doing?

368
00:15:49,181 --> 00:15:52,351
And and even being like a night owl,
I work until 3 a.m.

369
00:15:52,351 --> 00:15:54,753
and then it's different.
Yeah, it's different when you're working.

370
00:15:54,753 --> 00:15:55,120
Yeah.

371
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,257
It's like I can
you can party all hours of the night.

372
00:15:58,457 --> 00:16:00,359
Right is on. You're having a good time.

373
00:16:00,359 --> 00:16:02,194
You with some buddies, whatever.

374
00:16:02,194 --> 00:16:03,662
Doing God knows what.

375
00:16:03,662 --> 00:16:07,466
But when it comes to working overnight
like that, it's the absolute pits.

376
00:16:07,466 --> 00:16:10,169
Man. Well, I was editing,
I was working at this post

377
00:16:10,469 --> 00:16:13,305
office basically,
and editing a bunch of stuff for TV shows,

378
00:16:13,305 --> 00:16:17,910
and it got to the point where we realized
if we did party, we'd stay up easier.

379
00:16:18,344 --> 00:16:19,511
And so, yeah.

380
00:16:19,511 --> 00:16:21,981
One of the chicks
I worked with kept booze in her desk,

381
00:16:21,981 --> 00:16:24,316
and she'd just be like,
she'd call me on our little intercom.

382
00:16:24,316 --> 00:16:26,986
She hired,
You need to dip into the desk drawer.

383
00:16:26,986 --> 00:16:28,988
But yes, I do be right over.

384
00:16:28,988 --> 00:16:31,290
You know, we'd go over,
have a couple of shots.

385
00:16:31,290 --> 00:16:33,158
That is that's pretty outstanding.

386
00:16:33,158 --> 00:16:34,226
It was it was good time.

387
00:16:34,226 --> 00:16:35,794
So, yeah,

388
00:16:35,794 --> 00:16:37,629
it turned into a good
especially once we saw

389
00:16:37,629 --> 00:16:39,865
the writing was on the wall that things
were going to last much longer.

390
00:16:39,865 --> 00:16:41,066
Like, Fuck.

391
00:16:41,066 --> 00:16:42,267
It's normal.

392
00:16:42,267 --> 00:16:45,070
We need to normalize
casual drinking at day jobs.

393
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:49,141
Yeah, I feel like productivity
would just skyrocket.

394
00:16:49,141 --> 00:16:49,742
It did.

395
00:16:49,742 --> 00:16:53,145
Now don't check my spelling,
but productivity was through the roof.

396
00:16:53,645 --> 00:16:58,083
So the big bosses
all have a bar in their office.

397
00:16:58,684 --> 00:17:00,085
I thought that was the thing.

398
00:17:00,085 --> 00:17:02,221
It's not a thing that. From like a. Yes.

399
00:17:02,788 --> 00:17:05,157
No, not from like Mad Men or whatever.

400
00:17:05,157 --> 00:17:06,825
I think it's real life even now.

401
00:17:06,825 --> 00:17:08,160
Harry Crumb.

402
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:08,727
I don't know if that.

403
00:17:08,727 --> 00:17:13,632
Is what John Candy I hate your guts.

404
00:17:13,632 --> 00:17:15,934
You can edit all of that on the show.

405
00:17:15,934 --> 00:17:19,071
Everyone really got to do its final
three words.

406
00:17:19,204 --> 00:17:20,072
Oh, Christmas.

407
00:17:20,072 --> 00:17:23,442
Yeah, a pretty tame Christmas on this.

408
00:17:23,442 --> 00:17:26,745
And the thing is, a lot of illness
and some COVID and some flu.

409
00:17:26,745 --> 00:17:30,616
And so I don't have to see nearly
as many people as I normally have to see

410
00:17:31,083 --> 00:17:32,084
because one of my actually better.

411
00:17:32,084 --> 00:17:33,752
Christmas songs
going to sing, that's probably.

412
00:17:33,752 --> 00:17:35,487
Like really good on here.

413
00:17:35,487 --> 00:17:38,791
And then yeah, I,
I think I've said it many a time

414
00:17:38,824 --> 00:17:41,827
that I hate that, you know, we both,
my wife and I come from divorced parents.

415
00:17:41,827 --> 00:17:44,129
So it's like you come to this house
and you turn to this house and.

416
00:17:44,129 --> 00:17:45,964
You do this and they're.

417
00:17:45,964 --> 00:17:48,901
So we're starting to like lay down
boundaries.

418
00:17:48,901 --> 00:17:50,402
This feels like a therapy session.

419
00:17:50,402 --> 00:17:51,670
And like the night before

420
00:17:51,670 --> 00:17:55,441
we did Christmas, my dad and then DIA,
we only had two houses planned

421
00:17:55,541 --> 00:17:59,311
and one of them got momentarily canceled
and then re put on because of

422
00:17:59,611 --> 00:18:00,312
COVID things.

423
00:18:00,312 --> 00:18:05,918
And so but once it got re put on,
it was at a much reduced capacity.

424
00:18:05,918 --> 00:18:06,618
And so it

425
00:18:07,653 --> 00:18:08,921
it was kind of nice actually.

426
00:18:08,921 --> 00:18:10,456
It's very relaxing.

427
00:18:10,456 --> 00:18:12,758
There's no like stress
for most of the day, so.

428
00:18:12,791 --> 00:18:13,926
Oh, that's great.

429
00:18:13,926 --> 00:18:14,793
Good for you.

430
00:18:14,793 --> 00:18:17,062
Yeah. My wife wasn't the biggest fan,
but I liked it.

431
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:19,965
I love it for you
because I come from the same upbringing.

432
00:18:19,965 --> 00:18:22,334
So for me, that sounds like heaven.

433
00:18:22,334 --> 00:18:25,938
But yeah, unfortunately we had to see
both families, mine and his.

434
00:18:25,938 --> 00:18:28,674
So yeah. Just lots of wine.

435
00:18:29,141 --> 00:18:30,375
I was just going to say.

436
00:18:30,375 --> 00:18:33,112
So you want. So much, so much wine.

437
00:18:33,512 --> 00:18:36,181
Every time I talk to you about holidays,
I just.

438
00:18:36,281 --> 00:18:38,717
I feel like we experience
the same anxieties.

439
00:18:38,717 --> 00:18:40,853
Yeah, we hate them, but I like the.

440
00:18:40,886 --> 00:18:43,755
I do like Thanksgiving for some reason.

441
00:18:43,755 --> 00:18:44,523
I do like that.

442
00:18:44,523 --> 00:18:49,428
But I just I think it's the commercialism
of Christmas that I don't really love.

443
00:18:49,428 --> 00:18:50,629
And yeah.

444
00:18:50,629 --> 00:18:51,396
Among other things,

445
00:18:51,396 --> 00:18:54,366
like not being able to just be comfortable
in one spot for the whole day.

446
00:18:54,833 --> 00:18:56,201
Yeah, that's what I want.

447
00:18:56,201 --> 00:18:57,402
That's
what's so good about Thanksgiving is

448
00:18:57,402 --> 00:18:59,338
usually you pick one spot
and you get fat there

449
00:18:59,338 --> 00:19:01,673
and you don't get round
to a bunch of places. Yeah.

450
00:19:01,940 --> 00:19:04,576
The commercialism of Christmas are really.
Hey, I don't know what you guys, I.

451
00:19:04,643 --> 00:19:08,413
My wife and I have actually stopped
giving each other gifts, and instead

452
00:19:08,413 --> 00:19:11,550
we're doing like experiences and trips
and that sort of thing.

453
00:19:11,550 --> 00:19:14,119
Okay. I love that. That's the best.

454
00:19:14,453 --> 00:19:16,455
Yeah, we have enough shit,
we don't need more shit.

455
00:19:16,655 --> 00:19:18,690
And if we need it, we buy it before
Christmas.

456
00:19:18,991 --> 00:19:19,992
Yeah, that's the thing.

457
00:19:19,992 --> 00:19:22,227
Yeah. I agree 100% with that.

458
00:19:22,561 --> 00:19:24,263
Yeah. We're so hard to buy for.

459
00:19:24,263 --> 00:19:27,332
And so we just were like,
you know, let's go on a trip or let's go

460
00:19:27,332 --> 00:19:31,236
on a really nice dinner spending 500 bucks
on something and you're like, Whatever.

461
00:19:31,370 --> 00:19:35,340
Well, that's what we started doing
our last couple years with my wife and her

462
00:19:36,008 --> 00:19:39,111
siblings is instead of like buying gifts

463
00:19:39,111 --> 00:19:41,380
for each person,
we would just pick a night

464
00:19:42,614 --> 00:19:44,082
either basically anywhere

465
00:19:44,082 --> 00:19:47,286
between October and April
and just be like, Hey, we get babysitters.

466
00:19:47,286 --> 00:19:48,387
We're all going to go out,

467
00:19:48,387 --> 00:19:51,857
get some drinks, have a nice dinner,
maybe do something fun afterwards.

468
00:19:51,857 --> 00:19:53,859
More than you normally spend. Yeah, yeah.

469
00:19:53,859 --> 00:19:56,195
But get like an experience out of it,
like you said.

470
00:19:56,461 --> 00:19:57,062
Yeah.

471
00:19:57,062 --> 00:19:59,865
You guys go to steakhouses and such,
right?

472
00:19:59,865 --> 00:20:02,734
Supper clubs, club

473
00:20:02,734 --> 00:20:04,469
sweet speaking at supper clubs.

474
00:20:04,469 --> 00:20:06,605
And we're like Wisconsin traditions.

475
00:20:06,605 --> 00:20:10,209
Greg, I got to ask you, have you ever
heard of raw beef sandwiches?

476
00:20:10,209 --> 00:20:12,811
Raw beef? No. Yes. Steak tartare?

477
00:20:13,579 --> 00:20:15,781
Yes. It's like like a Wisconsin.

478
00:20:15,781 --> 00:20:19,151
I think it's a Wisconsin
holiday tradition, like

479
00:20:19,685 --> 00:20:22,154
not so much Thanksgiving,
but Christmas and New Year's.

480
00:20:22,621 --> 00:20:25,524
And it's Robby on rye bread.

481
00:20:25,891 --> 00:20:28,794
And then you usually have
some kind of onion to put on it.

482
00:20:28,794 --> 00:20:30,229
And then salt and pepper.

483
00:20:30,229 --> 00:20:31,964
Is at least cooked in acid.

484
00:20:31,964 --> 00:20:32,898
No, it's.

485
00:20:32,898 --> 00:20:33,966
Just straight up.

486
00:20:33,966 --> 00:20:36,235
Super high grade. Robby.

487
00:20:36,668 --> 00:20:37,169
I love.

488
00:20:37,169 --> 00:20:38,937
Please hit that with some lime juice.

489
00:20:38,937 --> 00:20:42,374
I'd love for you to just call it beef
carpaccio like normal people

490
00:20:42,374 --> 00:20:44,810
do, and then it makes it okay.

491
00:20:45,677 --> 00:20:47,879
Well, the mechanisms involved in that.

492
00:20:48,247 --> 00:20:50,315
The nickname for
it is Cannibal Sandwiches.

493
00:20:50,315 --> 00:20:53,785
But with all the serial killers
that come from Wisconsin, it's you know.

494
00:20:54,620 --> 00:20:56,822
It truly. Is that out. Yeah, exactly.

495
00:20:57,489 --> 00:20:59,024
I really don't like to put my name
with that.

496
00:20:59,024 --> 00:21:02,094
So I'll. Have the Dahmer special. Please.

497
00:21:03,996 --> 00:21:05,097
Dahmer party of four.

498
00:21:05,097 --> 00:21:06,932
Don, are you for it?

499
00:21:06,932 --> 00:21:09,301
No, I do want to try steak
tartare, though.

500
00:21:09,401 --> 00:21:10,502
I think I haven't had it.

501
00:21:10,502 --> 00:21:11,036
I will.

502
00:21:11,036 --> 00:21:13,839
I would like to try it,
but they cook it in acid lime juice.

503
00:21:13,839 --> 00:21:15,207
There's. Oh, okay.

504
00:21:15,207 --> 00:21:17,776
Killing of germs that takes place.

505
00:21:18,043 --> 00:21:20,112
Well, yeah, yeah.

506
00:21:20,145 --> 00:21:23,382
I've never gotten sick off of it,
and I've never known anybody who's gotten

507
00:21:23,382 --> 00:21:24,283
sick off of it.

508
00:21:24,283 --> 00:21:27,052
So I just need to know how
fresh the kill is.

509
00:21:27,452 --> 00:21:30,422
If it's fresh like a day I. Don't see my.

510
00:21:30,455 --> 00:21:34,359
My father in law owns a butcher shop
like he owns and runs a butcher shop. So.

511
00:21:34,426 --> 00:21:36,862
So he knows. What he's to like. The beef.

512
00:21:36,995 --> 00:21:39,131
Yeah, it's. It's all pretty.

513
00:21:39,131 --> 00:21:41,266
All right, that's. A super legit.
Right? Like.

514
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:42,634
That's what you do.

515
00:21:42,634 --> 00:21:45,370
So, like, you don't just go to,
like, your grocery store and be like, Hey,

516
00:21:45,771 --> 00:21:47,072
give me some of that ground.

517
00:21:47,072 --> 00:21:48,640
Just you know, like,

518
00:21:50,175 --> 00:21:52,744
you go on sale, like, no, none of that.

519
00:21:52,744 --> 00:21:55,514
9010 shit. I want that 7030 oh.

520
00:21:56,415 --> 00:21:58,784
Oh. To taste that fucking fat.

521
00:22:00,652 --> 00:22:02,254
You know, you usually.

522
00:22:02,254 --> 00:22:04,189
End up going to like a nice butcher shop

523
00:22:04,189 --> 00:22:05,957
where they really know
what the hell they're doing.

524
00:22:05,957 --> 00:22:08,393
You get like the high, really high
graded stuff so.

525
00:22:08,493 --> 00:22:10,662
That I would do like
if I was out there and you're like,

526
00:22:10,662 --> 00:22:12,397
Hey, we're going to the in-law's
butcher shop.

527
00:22:12,397 --> 00:22:14,800
We're going to do the your,
you're fucking cannibal sandwiches.

528
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,735
Like I would try it

529
00:22:16,802 --> 00:22:17,769
same. Yeah, but who's.

530
00:22:17,769 --> 00:22:20,739
Who's that listener that we have
who I can never remember his name,

531
00:22:21,273 --> 00:22:23,709
but he always talks
about from living in Wisconsin.

532
00:22:24,242 --> 00:22:26,311
Oh, Davis. Yes, Davis.

533
00:22:26,311 --> 00:22:29,781
So hopefully he's listening
to this episode and he can relate to this

534
00:22:30,115 --> 00:22:31,249
holiday tradition. Yeah.

535
00:22:31,249 --> 00:22:33,819
Please chime in on the Wisconsin
cannibalism, if you would.

536
00:22:34,586 --> 00:22:38,790
It would make me very happy. Yes.

537
00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:40,092
All right.
I got a couple of things to talk about.

538
00:22:40,092 --> 00:22:42,661
But first, Mel has been waiting
very patiently.

539
00:22:42,661 --> 00:22:45,197
That's why I know what she is
drinking over there.

540
00:22:45,297 --> 00:22:50,702
The call to the pen.

541
00:22:50,702 --> 00:22:53,739
He calls to the. Bullpen for beer.

542
00:22:54,973 --> 00:22:55,807
Getting it back up.

543
00:22:55,807 --> 00:22:58,343
Here's what we're waiting for. Flex.

544
00:22:58,410 --> 00:23:00,445
Yeah. I polished.

545
00:23:00,479 --> 00:23:03,849
The entire 8.6% are off
waiting for you to show us.

546
00:23:04,349 --> 00:23:05,684
It was really good.

547
00:23:05,684 --> 00:23:06,485
But today

548
00:23:06,485 --> 00:23:10,889
I also have a beer from a friend
and that friend is here with me right now.

549
00:23:11,089 --> 00:23:13,725
Greg sent me. Shots.

550
00:23:14,226 --> 00:23:17,496
To your project
and Alvarado Street Brewing.

551
00:23:17,496 --> 00:23:19,931
It is a very sorry cup of gold.

552
00:23:19,931 --> 00:23:22,033
Murky, double Indian.

553
00:23:22,167 --> 00:23:24,403
I can't even talk to these guys. I'm gay.

554
00:23:24,403 --> 00:23:25,170
She's always.

555
00:23:25,170 --> 00:23:27,806
This is what happens when you invite me
sober.

556
00:23:27,806 --> 00:23:29,941
Got to get me, like, a little bit buzzed.

557
00:23:29,941 --> 00:23:31,176
I do better.

558
00:23:31,610 --> 00:23:33,211
Please do. It's.

559
00:23:33,211 --> 00:23:35,714
First of all, a gorgeous color.

560
00:23:35,714 --> 00:23:38,150
Very nice. Those monkeys are legit.

561
00:23:38,216 --> 00:23:41,653
You know, for something
that claims to be murky, I feel like we.

562
00:23:41,953 --> 00:23:44,890
Is there a difference between
murky and hazy is hazy.

563
00:23:44,890 --> 00:23:46,725
Like one step beyond murky.

564
00:23:46,725 --> 00:23:48,860
Do we think. These are synonyms?

565
00:23:48,860 --> 00:23:51,196
That's what I thought.
It would be. The Sea. Raymond's great.

566
00:23:53,331 --> 00:23:53,732
But I feel

567
00:23:53,732 --> 00:23:57,002
like this is like a little more clear
than I would expect.

568
00:23:57,602 --> 00:24:00,338
It's absolutely to the west,
like a West Coast.

569
00:24:00,338 --> 00:24:03,375
Hazy in
general is clearer than the East Coast.

570
00:24:03,442 --> 00:24:05,377
Okay, so maybe that's what it is.

571
00:24:05,377 --> 00:24:07,712
It's refreshing. Delicious.

572
00:24:08,180 --> 00:24:10,215
The mouthfeel is really light.

573
00:24:10,215 --> 00:24:12,017
The carb level isn't too high.

574
00:24:12,017 --> 00:24:14,753
It's just really,
really, really rolls off the tongue.

575
00:24:14,753 --> 00:24:17,122
Nice finish is really nice and citrusy.

576
00:24:17,656 --> 00:24:18,690
I love it.

577
00:24:18,824 --> 00:24:20,025
I would drink that one a lot.

578
00:24:20,025 --> 00:24:21,493
Yeah, this is gorgeous.

579
00:24:21,493 --> 00:24:25,764
And I had the pleasure of visiting
Alvarado Street Brewery and

580
00:24:27,132 --> 00:24:30,435
it was a Monterey
when I was there for the the marathon.

581
00:24:30,435 --> 00:24:31,770
And that's probably one of the,

582
00:24:31,770 --> 00:24:34,306
the favorite breweries that we visited
while we were out there.

583
00:24:34,506 --> 00:24:36,241
It was really cool to go, well.

584
00:24:36,241 --> 00:24:38,043
See, I always see a lot of stuff
about Sours,

585
00:24:38,043 --> 00:24:40,212
some of those guys,
but I never really seen anything.

586
00:24:40,212 --> 00:24:41,947
I've had some of their sours as well.

587
00:24:42,948 --> 00:24:45,417
The owners were actually there
when we visited

588
00:24:45,750 --> 00:24:49,387
and I was with, I don't know if you guys
follow El Para El Pedro Boratto,

589
00:24:50,088 --> 00:24:53,191
but he came and met up with us
and we've really got to sit down

590
00:24:53,191 --> 00:24:56,428
and talk to them a lot
about the brewing styles and what they do

591
00:24:56,428 --> 00:24:59,898
because it's like an outdoor
space in Monterey.

592
00:24:59,931 --> 00:25:01,466
Have you been to that, Greg?

593
00:25:01,466 --> 00:25:02,434
I have none.

594
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:03,268
No, it's really cool.

595
00:25:03,268 --> 00:25:05,237
It's more of a beer garden than anything.

596
00:25:05,237 --> 00:25:08,206
I don't believe that they brew there,
but like the ambiance was really nice.

597
00:25:08,206 --> 00:25:09,241
They have all of these outdoor

598
00:25:09,241 --> 00:25:12,978
heaters and fires everywhere
because it's cold there all year round.

599
00:25:12,978 --> 00:25:14,613
It's like mid-sixties. Yeah.

600
00:25:14,613 --> 00:25:17,249
NorCal stays a little cooler than SoCal.

601
00:25:17,249 --> 00:25:20,118
The first time I went, I like I was like,
we're going to have a beach day.

602
00:25:20,118 --> 00:25:20,819
It'll be great.

603
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:24,089
This California, we got there, we're like,
it's freezing here.

604
00:25:24,089 --> 00:25:25,590
What are we thinking?

605
00:25:25,590 --> 00:25:27,425
Yeah, man,
you get, like, north of Santa Barbara.

606
00:25:27,425 --> 00:25:32,764
There's no I just still don't understand
the geography of California.

607
00:25:32,764 --> 00:25:34,900
I'm going to have to take a course
in this.

608
00:25:34,900 --> 00:25:37,269
I think tourism. Should be like
three different states on this.

609
00:25:37,302 --> 00:25:38,870
It's about 5 hours long.

610
00:25:38,870 --> 00:25:40,939
That's all I know about California. Yeah.

611
00:25:40,939 --> 00:25:41,373
Yeah.

612
00:25:41,373 --> 00:25:44,309
It's those magic.

613
00:25:44,309 --> 00:25:45,110
That's what she said.

614
00:25:46,611 --> 00:25:47,512
But this is really nice.

615
00:25:47,512 --> 00:25:48,780
Thanks for sending it to me.

616
00:25:48,780 --> 00:25:49,481
Yeah, I'm glad.

617
00:25:49,481 --> 00:25:51,783
I like that one a lot,
so I'm glad you enjoyed it.

618
00:25:51,783 --> 00:25:52,918
Great breweries.

619
00:25:52,918 --> 00:25:54,286
You know,
we're doing a little NorCal trip.

620
00:25:54,286 --> 00:25:55,620
I wonder.

621
00:25:55,620 --> 00:25:56,421
We're not going to Monterey,

622
00:25:56,421 --> 00:25:58,390
but we are going to Santa Cruz,
which is near Mundaring.

623
00:25:58,390 --> 00:25:59,224
Yeah, it is.

624
00:25:59,457 --> 00:26:01,092
Yeah. Hop, skip and a jump.

625
00:26:01,092 --> 00:26:03,295
How close is how close would you say
it's to Monterey?

626
00:26:03,295 --> 00:26:08,733
Greg Uh, I don't know,
probably a half hour.

627
00:26:08,733 --> 00:26:10,835
It's 62.7 miles.

628
00:26:11,603 --> 00:26:13,505
Oh, I was just.

629
00:26:13,505 --> 00:26:15,307
Looking for the, uh.

630
00:26:15,307 --> 00:26:17,409
With the time this distance.

631
00:26:17,409 --> 00:26:18,443
Yeah, we will.

632
00:26:18,443 --> 00:26:20,812
Be very,
we'll be staying very close to humble sea,

633
00:26:20,845 --> 00:26:22,881
so we're doing a lot of research. Nice.

634
00:26:22,881 --> 00:26:24,316
We stop there.

635
00:26:24,316 --> 00:26:25,850
It was also very nice there.

636
00:26:25,850 --> 00:26:30,021
We did stop because we flew into
San Francisco and we rented a car.

637
00:26:30,021 --> 00:26:30,855
That's right.

638
00:26:30,855 --> 00:26:31,022
Yeah.

639
00:26:31,022 --> 00:26:32,290
Greg shot me a Hubble, see,

640
00:26:32,290 --> 00:26:34,492
I think was like their fifth anniversary
or something like that.

641
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,695
Fourth anniversary,
one of their adversaries.

642
00:26:36,695 --> 00:26:37,929
But it was fucking awesome.

643
00:26:37,929 --> 00:26:39,464
Yeah. So good.

644
00:26:39,464 --> 00:26:41,733
Oh, they are 53 minutes apart.

645
00:26:41,733 --> 00:26:44,769
So that I mean, in California standard,
that's like average.

646
00:26:45,036 --> 00:26:47,505
You got to go like seven miles.

647
00:26:47,672 --> 00:26:49,774
Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. But

648
00:26:52,277 --> 00:26:53,678
yeah, mail just

649
00:26:53,678 --> 00:26:57,315
a pro insider California trip
next time you fly out here

650
00:26:57,582 --> 00:27:01,453
if you're flying to NorCal, if at all
possible flying to Oakland instead of San

651
00:27:01,453 --> 00:27:03,588
Francisco San Francisco Airport.
This shit. Show.

652
00:27:03,588 --> 00:27:05,457
You aren't wrong about that.

653
00:27:05,457 --> 00:27:07,525
I do know that I just.

654
00:27:07,525 --> 00:27:10,395
Across the bay and you can take Bart
which is there there's subway

655
00:27:10,395 --> 00:27:13,832
you can take BART over to SFO
if you need to get SFO.

656
00:27:14,232 --> 00:27:14,766
All right.

657
00:27:14,766 --> 00:27:17,602
Well, I'll just make you plan my trip
for me next time.

658
00:27:18,069 --> 00:27:19,638
Sure. I'll fly into Burbank.

659
00:27:19,638 --> 00:27:22,540
I flew into Sacramento one year
when I was by myself.

660
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:24,676
Because my brother lives in.

661
00:27:24,676 --> 00:27:25,944
Sacramento is not bad.

662
00:27:25,944 --> 00:27:27,946
Yes. Airport wise.

663
00:27:27,946 --> 00:27:29,247
I was. Going to.

664
00:27:29,247 --> 00:27:29,848
Yeah.

665
00:27:29,848 --> 00:27:33,818
Anyway, I hung out with him
and then I flown into San Jose before

666
00:27:33,818 --> 00:27:35,286
and that was a pain in the ass.

667
00:27:35,286 --> 00:27:37,055
That's like a really tiny airport.

668
00:27:37,055 --> 00:27:39,991
But they had us taxied for 3 hours
and my sister in law

669
00:27:39,991 --> 00:27:43,862
got like nauseous
and was throwing up the whole time.

670
00:27:43,862 --> 00:27:46,097
We were taxied into, like, an airsick bag.

671
00:27:46,231 --> 00:27:48,266
Oh, God. GROSS.

672
00:27:48,266 --> 00:27:51,436
2:00 in the morning,
please get us off of this plane.

673
00:27:51,603 --> 00:27:54,472
Who has that much in their system
to throw up for 3 hours

674
00:27:55,674 --> 00:27:56,474
through that?

675
00:27:56,474 --> 00:27:58,777
She's
a puka I don't know where it comes from.

676
00:27:58,777 --> 00:28:00,178
She just has it in her.

677
00:28:00,178 --> 00:28:02,414
GROSS Yeah. Well,
they should lose the weight that way.

678
00:28:02,414 --> 00:28:05,784
So looky here. She just I'll lose it.

679
00:28:05,784 --> 00:28:08,787
How you can let me tell you, this
holiday season staying

680
00:28:08,787 --> 00:28:12,057
warm for winter
that we don't have big news to talk about.

681
00:28:12,190 --> 00:28:16,695
Last week I brewed a collaboration beer
with our friend Monica over ice.

682
00:28:16,961 --> 00:28:17,462
That's.

683
00:28:17,462 --> 00:28:20,832
Oh, I'm so excited we did a guava gosa.

684
00:28:21,066 --> 00:28:23,535
So the guava will be added this week.

685
00:28:24,402 --> 00:28:26,171
It was so much fun. We got there.

686
00:28:26,171 --> 00:28:30,775
We were there from, you know, mash in to
the yeast pitch and everything in between.

687
00:28:30,775 --> 00:28:31,876
And it was kind of funny.

688
00:28:31,876 --> 00:28:35,680
She she does these tours once a month,
which is actually a really good deal.

689
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,249
I think it's like ten bucks
and you get like a flight of beer

690
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:42,821
and a pretzel and a tour of the brewhouse
from the head brewer, etc..

691
00:28:42,887 --> 00:28:45,056
So that's a super. Deal work you do?

692
00:28:45,323 --> 00:28:46,891
Yeah, it's like one Sunday a month.

693
00:28:46,891 --> 00:28:48,493
So anyways, happen to be the same Sundays.

694
00:28:48,493 --> 00:28:49,561
I was like, Hey, are we going to be okay?

695
00:28:49,561 --> 00:28:51,596
She's like, Yeah, that's fine.
You know, it's a pretty small tour.

696
00:28:51,596 --> 00:28:55,800
So the guys came back and from the tour
and it's kind of good for them.

697
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,169
They got to watch us to work the lab.

698
00:28:58,269 --> 00:29:01,406
They got like they're normal
to normal tours, but you know, our stuff

699
00:29:01,406 --> 00:29:01,973
on top of it.

700
00:29:01,973 --> 00:29:06,077
So it was so much fun
just hanging out and drinking some beer

701
00:29:06,077 --> 00:29:07,746
and brewing some beer.

702
00:29:07,746 --> 00:29:09,180
And so I'm excited for that.

703
00:29:09,180 --> 00:29:11,883
We are going to launch it on Friday,

704
00:29:11,916 --> 00:29:15,487
January 13th, and we're also going
to do a live podcast from the brewery.

705
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,123
So if you're in the SO called region,
come on out.

706
00:29:18,123 --> 00:29:22,360
Pedals and pints brew in Thousand Oaks,
California, 8 p.m.

707
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:23,762
on Friday, January 13th.

708
00:29:23,762 --> 00:29:26,197
We'll have the go to of course
we'll have a few other

709
00:29:26,197 --> 00:29:30,101
we'll do like a podcast flight
like we normally do at live shows.

710
00:29:30,101 --> 00:29:31,936
You just walk up to the podcast flight.

711
00:29:31,936 --> 00:29:33,772
We haven't determined
what will be in it yet.

712
00:29:33,772 --> 00:29:35,006
We're going to get together.

713
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:38,710
I always I'm such an alcoholic or asshole
or fun guy.

714
00:29:38,710 --> 00:29:40,745
I don't know. Every time. All the. Above.

715
00:29:40,912 --> 00:29:41,679
Yeah, every time.

716
00:29:41,679 --> 00:29:43,348
She's like, Hey, let's talk about will
you want to brew

717
00:29:43,348 --> 00:29:45,350
or let's talk about the flight or whatever
it is?

718
00:29:45,350 --> 00:29:46,651
I'm like, Yeah, meet me at the brewery.

719
00:29:46,651 --> 00:29:49,220
Let's talk, talk over some beers.

720
00:29:49,621 --> 00:29:50,755
Like, like when we were talking about what

721
00:29:50,755 --> 00:29:52,290
the Brewers
like me, me over at Knotty Pine.

722
00:29:52,290 --> 00:29:54,559
Let's, uh, let's talk about
we're going to make and so.

723
00:29:54,793 --> 00:29:57,762
You know, one of my favorite beers
ever was a pink guava

724
00:29:57,762 --> 00:30:00,465
goes with pink Himalayan sea salt.

725
00:30:00,832 --> 00:30:03,368
Oh, I like that. It was. Yeah.

726
00:30:03,601 --> 00:30:09,374
Like to this day I think I had it for the
first time, geez, almost four years ago.

727
00:30:09,374 --> 00:30:12,243
And I still think about that beer
constantly.

728
00:30:12,410 --> 00:30:13,778
You know, out here not enough

729
00:30:13,778 --> 00:30:17,315
goes is not enough sours in general,
but really not enough cozies.

730
00:30:17,816 --> 00:30:22,153
And like when we were in Asheville,
North Carolina, everyone had a goes.

731
00:30:22,420 --> 00:30:24,189
This is a couple of years ago,
but everyone had a goes

732
00:30:24,189 --> 00:30:26,958
and I was like, Fuck,
I love cozies and one brewery.

733
00:30:26,958 --> 00:30:30,361
We were there for a wedding happen
to have a goes a fast one day.

734
00:30:30,495 --> 00:30:32,363
Oh no that's. Crazy.

735
00:30:32,363 --> 00:30:34,365
It was the it was the day of the wedding.

736
00:30:34,365 --> 00:30:35,800
So we're just going to get here early.

737
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,370
And some of the most refreshing
the most refreshing beer fest I've ever.

738
00:30:39,370 --> 00:30:40,638
Heard of it was it.

739
00:30:40,638 --> 00:30:44,609
Was it was so good
we were there up until like we had to run

740
00:30:44,609 --> 00:30:45,877
and get changed and run to the wedding.

741
00:30:45,877 --> 00:30:49,080
But I love a good goes and not enough
people are here doing.

742
00:30:49,347 --> 00:30:49,881
A great.

743
00:30:49,881 --> 00:30:54,219
Very underrated and unacknowledged beer
brewing style.

744
00:30:54,252 --> 00:30:55,253
Yeah and.

745
00:30:55,253 --> 00:30:58,723
This is all really makes it
is that a definite has to be in it

746
00:30:58,723 --> 00:31:02,460
goes a component any good that I've ever
had has had sea salt in it.

747
00:31:02,660 --> 00:31:06,331
It there's no salt in it it's not it goes
the other it's basically just a Berliner.

748
00:31:07,398 --> 00:31:09,801
Hmm. Learn something new every day.

749
00:31:09,801 --> 00:31:11,536
That's why you're a nerd.

750
00:31:11,536 --> 00:31:12,270
You're.

751
00:31:12,270 --> 00:31:13,471
I'm sure someone will tell me I'm wrong.

752
00:31:13,471 --> 00:31:15,673
But anyways, that was.

753
00:31:15,707 --> 00:31:17,942
That was a lot of fun.
And I can't wait for the live show.

754
00:31:17,942 --> 00:31:18,910
I can't wait for the beer.

755
00:31:18,910 --> 00:31:20,278
I'm super stoked about it.

756
00:31:20,278 --> 00:31:22,547
So January 13th, 8 p.m.

757
00:31:22,747 --> 00:31:24,215
petals and pints come out and be me.

758
00:31:24,215 --> 00:31:26,784
It'll be Monica will be trying some beers
especially the goes

759
00:31:27,585 --> 00:31:30,688
well she's been on the show but
we're going to get deep and talk about her

760
00:31:30,822 --> 00:31:34,125
her brewing past and her experience
and all that good stuff.

761
00:31:34,125 --> 00:31:36,461
So another thing we'll talk about
next week

762
00:31:36,494 --> 00:31:40,431
is I want to give it the proper
amount of time and respect it deserves.

763
00:31:40,431 --> 00:31:44,569
But we did do Brazil
a Palooza last week and

764
00:31:45,503 --> 00:31:46,237
this is a good time.

765
00:31:46,237 --> 00:31:49,507
So we'll talk more about Paul
particularly well.

766
00:31:49,807 --> 00:31:53,011
So I will is the next week.
Words are hard.

767
00:31:53,244 --> 00:31:57,081
Can I interject really quick
and just say I am always 100%

768
00:31:57,081 --> 00:32:00,618
certain that I was choose first
follower too.

769
00:32:00,618 --> 00:32:05,323
If you could just call into the show
and acknowledge that I immediately

770
00:32:05,790 --> 00:32:06,591
followed you.

771
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:08,893
Please wait.
What do you mean? First follower.

772
00:32:09,060 --> 00:32:11,462
He created an Instagram. Yeah, he's. He's.

773
00:32:11,763 --> 00:32:14,032
He's on. Instagram
now. He wasn't on before. Yeah.

774
00:32:14,032 --> 00:32:15,033
No, didn't, didn't he.

775
00:32:15,033 --> 00:32:17,702
Just like rename
his wife wasn't it his wife's?

776
00:32:18,002 --> 00:32:21,472
It was his like personal account
and then renamed it.

777
00:32:21,539 --> 00:32:24,242
Don't ruin this moment for me. No,
no, I'll cut it out. So.

778
00:32:24,442 --> 00:32:26,311
Sounds cool. Yeah.

779
00:32:26,477 --> 00:32:28,947
Do not ruin this moment
for me, little brother.

780
00:32:29,347 --> 00:32:33,151
It was his first follower
when he was the OG to your beer.

781
00:32:33,284 --> 00:32:35,420
I was like, click follow immediately

782
00:32:37,088 --> 00:32:38,323
flagstick.

783
00:32:38,323 --> 00:32:39,958
All right, so this guy.

784
00:32:39,958 --> 00:32:42,527
Yeah, this guy over here.

785
00:32:42,527 --> 00:32:42,894
All right.

786
00:32:42,894 --> 00:32:45,964
I know a little bit of news
logging needs this along with logging

787
00:32:45,964 --> 00:32:49,100
need is is going to close their Seattle
taproom in January.

788
00:32:49,167 --> 00:32:54,138
Bear Republic is closing their Rohnert
Park taproom for the winter

789
00:32:54,772 --> 00:32:57,709
Sasquatch Brewery is ceasing production

790
00:32:58,009 --> 00:33:01,746
and just announced today as we're
recording this on the 26th King Harbor

791
00:33:01,980 --> 00:33:07,285
has announced that the 31st of December
will be their last day open as well.

792
00:33:07,418 --> 00:33:09,687
A lot of brewery closures.

793
00:33:09,687 --> 00:33:12,690
This leads me
to the very important question of

794
00:33:12,690 --> 00:33:15,660
are we going to see a ton of craft
breweries closing in 2023?

795
00:33:15,827 --> 00:33:17,562
I certainly hope. Not.

796
00:33:17,562 --> 00:33:20,064
I think it's I think it's going to happen.

797
00:33:20,064 --> 00:33:23,134
Unfortunately,
I think with the financial climate

798
00:33:23,134 --> 00:33:26,537
and the lack of resources,
I think we're going to see a lot of that,

799
00:33:27,171 --> 00:33:30,108
which sucks
because the best breweries that you love

800
00:33:30,108 --> 00:33:32,810
are probably not going to be able
to stay open. Some of my favorite

801
00:33:32,810 --> 00:33:36,247
restaurants have already closed
as a result of these hardships.

802
00:33:36,914 --> 00:33:39,484
Yeah,
we talked about the whole McLeod situation

803
00:33:39,484 --> 00:33:41,919
and how fucking weird that is
and then these guys closing.

804
00:33:42,687 --> 00:33:45,723
I think there's going to be a little bit
of a reckoning part of it's going to be

805
00:33:45,723 --> 00:33:50,228
just the financial hardships of of,
you know, costing more to produce beer.

806
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:54,332
Some of it's going to be there's only so
much good beer you can have in one area.

807
00:33:54,332 --> 00:33:56,367
Like if you have a bunch
of great breweries,

808
00:33:56,367 --> 00:33:58,536
then the good breweries are no longer
good there.

809
00:33:59,070 --> 00:34:01,139
You're not going to go they're going to go
to great breweries instead.

810
00:34:01,139 --> 00:34:05,043
So I feel like there is a little bit
of an oversaturation.

811
00:34:05,176 --> 00:34:08,980
And that's what I was going to bring up,
too, is you think it's due to saturation?

812
00:34:09,180 --> 00:34:11,015
Yeah,
because like I was talking to the wife

813
00:34:11,015 --> 00:34:13,684
about this earlier today
and like in our area,

814
00:34:13,718 --> 00:34:17,388
all the local breweries immediate around
us have done a really good job

815
00:34:17,388 --> 00:34:21,059
of not doing the same thing,
having different focuses.

816
00:34:21,092 --> 00:34:24,095
So there's no like real cannibalism
of customers at that point.

817
00:34:24,262 --> 00:34:27,999
So you could be like, Hey, I'm going to go
here for lagers or here for my style.

818
00:34:27,999 --> 00:34:29,500
It's the green for lagers.

819
00:34:29,500 --> 00:34:30,201
Or if you want something

820
00:34:30,201 --> 00:34:33,004
hoppy and bitter, you go to 14,
you know, like whatever it is.

821
00:34:33,571 --> 00:34:36,074
And so I feel like they're okay.

822
00:34:36,074 --> 00:34:37,275
But when you get like,

823
00:34:37,275 --> 00:34:40,711
you know, you get to San Diego
and you got a whole street full of IPA

824
00:34:40,711 --> 00:34:43,915
breweries, someone's got to go
at some point, you know, it's just

825
00:34:44,182 --> 00:34:46,084
just the way it is,
whether they're good or not.

826
00:34:46,084 --> 00:34:49,253
I think it's important for the breweries
to kind of work together as well.

827
00:34:49,253 --> 00:34:52,990
If you are in that small area
like you have to drive

828
00:34:52,990 --> 00:34:55,259
everywhere here where I live.

829
00:34:55,259 --> 00:35:00,598
So there's one craft beer area, though,
that's really exploding right now.

830
00:35:00,598 --> 00:35:01,799
And the great thing about it

831
00:35:01,799 --> 00:35:04,235
is that each one of them brings
something different to the table.

832
00:35:04,235 --> 00:35:08,039
And I think that's because
they've actually spoken to each other.

833
00:35:08,039 --> 00:35:08,339
They're like,

834
00:35:08,339 --> 00:35:12,043
How can we make this a beer destination
where we all get the business?

835
00:35:12,043 --> 00:35:14,879
And it's like, you know,
that is your route for the day.

836
00:35:14,879 --> 00:35:17,448
You go to this one, you go to this one,
you go to this one or this one,

837
00:35:17,882 --> 00:35:22,920
and it's just really all about
communication and IPAs are easy to do.

838
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,324
I'm going to say if they weren't
easy to do, everybody wouldn't do them.

839
00:35:26,524 --> 00:35:28,593
And I would love expensive.
But they're easy.

840
00:35:29,260 --> 00:35:32,797
But I would just love to see different
styles, new styles,

841
00:35:32,797 --> 00:35:34,165
older styles coming back,

842
00:35:34,165 --> 00:35:38,402
which I think we're starting to see
that resurgence of basic beer coming back.

843
00:35:38,402 --> 00:35:40,738
And I like it. I'm for it.

844
00:35:40,738 --> 00:35:43,040
It's interesting. Somebody with my pop up.

845
00:35:43,174 --> 00:35:44,075
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

846
00:35:44,075 --> 00:35:47,111
Monica just put up an English miles
over a pedals and pints.

847
00:35:47,111 --> 00:35:48,079
Right on.

848
00:35:48,212 --> 00:35:48,913
That's the way to go.

849
00:35:48,913 --> 00:35:50,181
I think you have to

850
00:35:50,181 --> 00:35:53,384
differentiate yourself, otherwise
you'll fall into the sea of hazes

851
00:35:53,384 --> 00:35:55,286
and then eventually drown pretty much.

852
00:35:55,286 --> 00:35:58,256
All right, before we move on to more news,
let's answer

853
00:35:58,256 --> 00:36:01,526
the very important question
that we try to answer every night.

854
00:36:01,726 --> 00:36:04,195
In a world where craft beer is kind

855
00:36:05,263 --> 00:36:06,497
of where muscles are

856
00:36:06,497 --> 00:36:10,635
bigger than ground,
there's only one time in Guinness,

857
00:36:10,635 --> 00:36:17,441
one at one time,
one tongue jabber in this world.

858
00:36:17,742 --> 00:36:22,413
We must find out what is flaxseed
drinking.

859
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,115
I was waiting for that.

860
00:36:24,115 --> 00:36:25,716
Yeah, I know you were

861
00:36:26,450 --> 00:36:27,985
always got to bring it out.

862
00:36:27,985 --> 00:36:29,420
Well, today, ladies love it.

863
00:36:29,420 --> 00:36:33,324
Flex is drinking thanks to our good buddy,
the OG beer dude.

864
00:36:33,324 --> 00:36:36,360
Zach Miller,
the coolest motherfucking man in Indiana.

865
00:36:36,694 --> 00:36:37,395
With the nicest.

866
00:36:37,395 --> 00:36:40,164
Hats and all the nicest hats
in all the land.

867
00:36:40,164 --> 00:36:40,631
Oh, yeah.

868
00:36:40,631 --> 00:36:42,033
Not to mention his shoes.

869
00:36:42,033 --> 00:36:43,801
Good God.

870
00:36:44,402 --> 00:36:46,204
So, thanks to Zach, I'm drinking

871
00:36:46,204 --> 00:36:48,940
King Julius from Treehouse
Brewing Company.

872
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:54,245
Yeah Yeah, this is like my first Julius
type thing in Virginia Barber.

873
00:36:55,813 --> 00:36:58,616
So I'm super, super jacked for this.

874
00:36:58,616 --> 00:37:01,652
The rating on untapped
is really fucking stupid.

875
00:37:02,420 --> 00:37:04,121
Like,
have you ever actually looked this up?

876
00:37:04,121 --> 00:37:05,590
I don't think I have.

877
00:37:05,590 --> 00:37:08,793
So, out of 56 and a half thousand

878
00:37:08,826 --> 00:37:12,630
ratings, it has 4.64.

879
00:37:12,964 --> 00:37:15,733
Okay, come on, guys. That's nuts. Right?

880
00:37:16,033 --> 00:37:16,834
That's insane.

881
00:37:16,834 --> 00:37:19,971
8.2% ABV 85 will use even those.

882
00:37:20,171 --> 00:37:21,272
Those don't matter anymore.

883
00:37:22,340 --> 00:37:23,274
But it

884
00:37:23,274 --> 00:37:26,310
reads King Julius is an American double
IPA brewed to be

885
00:37:26,310 --> 00:37:30,181
an exceptionally flavorful, juicy
and hop saturated beer.

886
00:37:30,348 --> 00:37:35,353
While never tiring the palate, its vivid
citrus aromas give way to flavors

887
00:37:35,353 --> 00:37:39,290
of orange creamsicle mango smoothie
and a bounty of fresh tropical fruit.

888
00:37:39,557 --> 00:37:43,728
We find it to be supremely soft
in the midst of an onslaught of flavor.

889
00:37:44,161 --> 00:37:47,331
A beer we are quite proud of.

890
00:37:47,331 --> 00:37:49,867
Yes, be very proud of this.

891
00:37:49,867 --> 00:37:53,671
I can tell you that on the nose, it's
a lot of that orange creamsicle,

892
00:37:53,671 --> 00:37:56,173
that orange vanilla combo.

893
00:37:56,674 --> 00:37:58,242
It's super obnoxious.

894
00:37:58,242 --> 00:38:01,646
There's a half smiley face
in the head of my beer right now.

895
00:38:01,879 --> 00:38:03,881
Oh, actually, it's turning
full smiley face.

896
00:38:05,249 --> 00:38:08,085
So placing there to super.

897
00:38:08,085 --> 00:38:10,321
Yeah, it's a little bit lazy out there.

898
00:38:10,755 --> 00:38:12,923
Oh no. That's the design on your glass.
Never mind.

899
00:38:13,024 --> 00:38:14,125
Oh, yeah, yeah.

900
00:38:14,125 --> 00:38:16,961
We will get it.
We're getting all warmed up.

901
00:38:17,328 --> 00:38:18,562
And the old tongue jobber.

902
00:38:18,562 --> 00:38:21,032
Oh, best part of the night.

903
00:38:21,032 --> 00:38:21,899
So I've been told.

904
00:38:21,899 --> 00:38:25,870
So super low carbonation
when I first poured this out,

905
00:38:26,304 --> 00:38:30,808
super heavy notes on the orange citrus
like the orange pith.

906
00:38:31,275 --> 00:38:35,012
And now that it's warmed up a little bit,
you get more of that mango,

907
00:38:35,012 --> 00:38:36,113
like they said.

908
00:38:36,113 --> 00:38:40,651
And the 85 abuse
really start to come out as it warms up

909
00:38:40,651 --> 00:38:44,422
because I couldn't find a single note
of bitterness on this at all

910
00:38:44,822 --> 00:38:47,491
when it was like freshly cold,
freshly poured out.

911
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:51,028
So I really like how this beer
kind of evolves

912
00:38:51,028 --> 00:38:54,899
as you drink it,
I guess, especially seeing that it's a.

913
00:38:54,899 --> 00:38:56,934
All right, so double American IPA, right?

914
00:38:56,934 --> 00:39:01,205
When you think of American IPA,
you think of a little more coppery,

915
00:39:01,739 --> 00:39:06,811
a little more, less cozy, little malt,
a little malty bitter.

916
00:39:07,144 --> 00:39:10,247
So when I when I first
put this on my palate, I'm thinking,

917
00:39:10,314 --> 00:39:13,384
how the hell do you put
double American IPA on the label now?

918
00:39:13,484 --> 00:39:14,151
It warms up.

919
00:39:14,151 --> 00:39:16,754
I totally fucking get it. And this beer

920
00:39:18,055 --> 00:39:19,890
for six for

921
00:39:19,890 --> 00:39:23,594
I'd probably say more around 5.5 but damn.

922
00:39:23,594 --> 00:39:25,196
Out of five. Out of. Five.

923
00:39:25,196 --> 00:39:28,265
I mean it's obnoxious
especially at an 8.2%.

924
00:39:29,300 --> 00:39:32,136
I mean, this is top, top notch now.

925
00:39:32,136 --> 00:39:34,538
It almost doesn't get better than this.

926
00:39:34,538 --> 00:39:36,574
I've had a couple of those Julius's
demands.

927
00:39:36,874 --> 00:39:37,942
They're fucking tasty.

928
00:39:37,942 --> 00:39:41,812
Well, I've had what I had another
like a nectarine fruit salad

929
00:39:41,812 --> 00:39:42,646
or something like that.

930
00:39:42,646 --> 00:39:43,447
But yeah.

931
00:39:43,447 --> 00:39:46,250
And that one was really stupid too.

932
00:39:46,250 --> 00:39:48,219
I just don't understand how they do
the things they do.

933
00:39:48,219 --> 00:39:51,689
Listen,
if I can get you a tree house stout.

934
00:39:51,956 --> 00:39:53,557
They're double shot.

935
00:39:53,557 --> 00:39:55,693
Best salad I've ever had in my life.

936
00:39:55,693 --> 00:39:57,928
Hands down, best bass, best.

937
00:39:57,928 --> 00:39:59,764
That's saying something, too.
Because you like yourself.

938
00:39:59,764 --> 00:40:01,665
I love a good stout.

939
00:40:01,665 --> 00:40:04,502
And it really was just executed so well.

940
00:40:04,502 --> 00:40:05,603
I think they really pay

941
00:40:05,603 --> 00:40:09,173
a lot of attention to what they're doing,
and especially with an IPA,

942
00:40:09,707 --> 00:40:10,808
you have to let it warm up.

943
00:40:10,808 --> 00:40:13,310
You can't really appreciate a beer called.

944
00:40:13,310 --> 00:40:16,714
If you want a cold beer, then you better
just get yourself a Bud Lighter Coors

945
00:40:16,714 --> 00:40:20,551
Light and just shut down the podcast
right now and don't talk to us.

946
00:40:20,985 --> 00:40:23,888
Yes, you really need it.

947
00:40:23,921 --> 00:40:26,390
You need like a 15 minute window,
I feel like.

948
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:28,392
Okay, but let me ask you a question.

949
00:40:28,392 --> 00:40:31,896
Do you not like to experience, like,
the difference?

950
00:40:31,896 --> 00:40:33,697
I'll take a sip. Yeah,
you know what I mean?

951
00:40:33,697 --> 00:40:35,232
Like how I was cold.

952
00:40:35,232 --> 00:40:37,201
And, you know, as it warms,
because that's something

953
00:40:37,201 --> 00:40:39,503
I really, really enjoy doing. Yes.

954
00:40:39,503 --> 00:40:40,538
But it's like a nice. Step.

955
00:40:40,538 --> 00:40:44,008
Up, I think I just really enjoy
what it involves, too.

956
00:40:44,542 --> 00:40:47,178
I don't always love what I taste first.

957
00:40:47,611 --> 00:40:48,979
I think you don't give it enough time

958
00:40:48,979 --> 00:40:51,515
to really like
the aromatics need to come out.

959
00:40:51,515 --> 00:40:54,051
And I don't know. I know, I don't. I'm.

960
00:40:54,552 --> 00:40:56,854
I don't like things super cold anyway.

961
00:40:56,887 --> 00:40:59,223
No matter what it is,
I drink room temperature, water.

962
00:40:59,223 --> 00:41:00,691
I am that weird girl I don't like.

963
00:41:00,691 --> 00:41:02,126
Okay, I am like that too.

964
00:41:02,126 --> 00:41:04,195
With the water, the soda and.

965
00:41:04,428 --> 00:41:06,997
Yeah, and I think
it makes a big difference when you're.

966
00:41:06,997 --> 00:41:08,766
You're just a little bit warmer.

967
00:41:08,766 --> 00:41:10,701
It's just much nicer. Yeah.

968
00:41:10,701 --> 00:41:12,503
I tell you what. So much better.

969
00:41:12,503 --> 00:41:16,307
When I was 21 years old, on my 21st
birthday, I went to a distillery tour

970
00:41:16,941 --> 00:41:21,345
and at Great Lakes Distillery down here
in Milwaukee, the guy running the tour

971
00:41:21,345 --> 00:41:27,151
said that if you want to get the absolute
flavor of something, you drink it.

972
00:41:27,151 --> 00:41:29,553
Room temperature, you drink it, warm it.

973
00:41:29,587 --> 00:41:32,790
So I've always kept that in mind.

974
00:41:32,790 --> 00:41:37,061
After everything I've ever drank in my
life, I'm like, okay, what's it like?

975
00:41:37,061 --> 00:41:39,129
Cold. And then what's it like, warm?

976
00:41:39,129 --> 00:41:42,900
And then kind of like compare in your mind
what like better,

977
00:41:42,933 --> 00:41:46,337
you know, what the notes were like
and yada, yada, yada. So.

978
00:41:47,271 --> 00:41:49,106
Yeah, completely agree.

979
00:41:49,106 --> 00:41:50,574
Completely agree.

980
00:41:50,574 --> 00:41:52,109
I'm glad you're getting to drink
that though.

981
00:41:52,109 --> 00:41:55,045
And I love a good orange creamsicle vibe.

982
00:41:55,079 --> 00:41:58,315
That is my favorite summertime dessert
as a kid.

983
00:41:58,449 --> 00:42:00,251
Creamsicle, I.

984
00:42:00,251 --> 00:42:02,419
Yeah. I concur on that one.

985
00:42:04,121 --> 00:42:04,622
Very nice.

986
00:42:04,622 --> 00:42:08,225
I'm super jealous if anybody wants to
send me some fucking Julius or.

987
00:42:08,259 --> 00:42:10,194
If I. Like it.

988
00:42:10,327 --> 00:42:12,396
When I can get it, I will.

989
00:42:12,730 --> 00:42:14,965
I will just buy in abundance.

990
00:42:14,965 --> 00:42:17,201
All right?
Just buy an abundance and send you one.

991
00:42:17,201 --> 00:42:20,504
Of those fucking like those haze boys
that just, like, walk out with a.

992
00:42:21,872 --> 00:42:23,541
Laser, too, and they crack.

993
00:42:23,541 --> 00:42:24,642
The two. Dollies.

994
00:42:24,642 --> 00:42:26,677
Pillowcases. Oh, man.

995
00:42:27,578 --> 00:42:29,280
All right, couple of lists here.

996
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,850
Two to end the show,
because it's the last show of 2022.

997
00:42:32,983 --> 00:42:35,886
First of. All, we.

998
00:42:36,153 --> 00:42:38,889
As as the last show
before New Year's to our English

999
00:42:38,889 --> 00:42:43,527
listeners, the England has a PSA
to everyone out there.

1000
00:42:43,861 --> 00:42:46,397
They say, don't get so drunk
that you need a hospital

1001
00:42:47,064 --> 00:42:49,133
because they're on an ambulance strike
right now.

1002
00:42:50,067 --> 00:42:51,669
That doesn't sound safe.

1003
00:42:51,669 --> 00:42:53,437
We know I was looking up stories today.

1004
00:42:53,437 --> 00:42:55,239
I was like, oh, yeah, that sucks.

1005
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,641
So everybody out there
drink semi responsibly.

1006
00:42:57,675 --> 00:42:59,543
Well,
if you're getting fucked up for the New.

1007
00:42:59,543 --> 00:43:00,945
Year's, it's actually scary how.

1008
00:43:00,945 --> 00:43:03,781
Concerned Mal looked when you said.

1009
00:43:03,781 --> 00:43:06,250
That a medical professional is.
Frightening to me.

1010
00:43:06,250 --> 00:43:09,420
I would never I don't I could never be
one of the nurses that straight.

1011
00:43:09,453 --> 00:43:12,022
I don't think I could.
I think I would be inundated, nervous.

1012
00:43:12,056 --> 00:43:14,091
I was like, Fuck everybody, I hate you,

1013
00:43:14,091 --> 00:43:16,827
but I'm going to save your life
and like save all these people lives.

1014
00:43:17,061 --> 00:43:22,266
And like in, in Buffalo, they had a
really crazy storm and they lost power.

1015
00:43:22,266 --> 00:43:27,271
And we've heard a lot of terrible stories
so far, like a lot of death, at least

1016
00:43:27,271 --> 00:43:30,874
we're not going to response is it was too
and it was too dangerous for them.

1017
00:43:30,874 --> 00:43:34,678
And they teach you that like you cannot
respond if it's not safe for you.

1018
00:43:35,312 --> 00:43:37,982
Right. And it's we don't want to create.

1019
00:43:37,982 --> 00:43:40,351
A bigger rescue situation
by multiple people.

1020
00:43:40,351 --> 00:43:40,651
Yeah.

1021
00:43:40,651 --> 00:43:45,689
It's just heartbreaking to think, you
know, this extreme weather can cause that.

1022
00:43:45,689 --> 00:43:47,091
And so they're. Striking.

1023
00:43:47,091 --> 00:43:49,293
That's something that's something
you never think about either.

1024
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:50,461
Yeah.

1025
00:43:50,461 --> 00:43:53,664
It's weird to think about in this day
and age, like, people die from being cold.

1026
00:43:53,664 --> 00:43:55,199
It's like, what fucking years this.

1027
00:43:55,199 --> 00:43:57,267
And not having power.

1028
00:43:57,267 --> 00:43:59,870
Yeah. And having empowered having power.

1029
00:43:59,870 --> 00:44:00,638
Stay warm.

1030
00:44:00,638 --> 00:44:04,475
If you're on the Upper East
Coast and stayed sober ish.

1031
00:44:04,475 --> 00:44:06,777
If you're in the UK.
Could you not. Get it right?

1032
00:44:07,011 --> 00:44:08,846
Yeah. You UK, you're done for guys.

1033
00:44:08,846 --> 00:44:10,547
Yeah, pretty. Much.

1034
00:44:10,547 --> 00:44:10,781
All right.

1035
00:44:10,781 --> 00:44:11,982
These two are for Flex.

1036
00:44:11,982 --> 00:44:14,585
First is in honor of New Year's Eve.

1037
00:44:14,585 --> 00:44:20,224
Coming up here, the seven new champagne
of beers to drink this New Year's Eve.

1038
00:44:21,091 --> 00:44:23,127
And this comes from the manual com.

1039
00:44:23,594 --> 00:44:25,863
We'll start at number 76.

1040
00:44:25,863 --> 00:44:29,133
hazy brut IPA. I Thought Broots were dead.

1041
00:44:29,533 --> 00:44:30,901
Apparently not.

1042
00:44:30,901 --> 00:44:32,670
Yeah, it is like a champagne.

1043
00:44:33,637 --> 00:44:35,839
I mean,
that part of it is very champagnie.

1044
00:44:35,873 --> 00:44:36,940
So I get it.

1045
00:44:36,940 --> 00:44:41,578
They're followed by Pliny the Younger,
which look plenty of younger's delicious.

1046
00:44:41,578 --> 00:44:42,713
But good luck finding it.

1047
00:44:42,713 --> 00:44:46,350
So that feels like a weird
the mission then Sapporo.

1048
00:44:46,617 --> 00:44:47,117
What.

1049
00:44:47,518 --> 00:44:48,819
Interesting.

1050
00:44:48,819 --> 00:44:50,654
Because you're going to have
sushi instead. Of.

1051
00:44:50,654 --> 00:44:52,489
Yeah that's up here. Yeah.

1052
00:44:52,489 --> 00:44:53,757
Yes I'll get down with that.

1053
00:44:53,757 --> 00:44:55,826
That's the only rationale I have.

1054
00:44:56,226 --> 00:44:58,262
Sure will go with it.

1055
00:44:58,262 --> 00:45:00,964
The next one is Saison DuPont.

1056
00:45:01,165 --> 00:45:03,600
Which bine Yeah, that sounds about right.

1057
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:04,868
I think it's yeah.

1058
00:45:04,868 --> 00:45:09,907
Champagnie next is tank
seven from Boulevard Brewing Farmhouse.

1059
00:45:10,007 --> 00:45:10,641
I've had it.

1060
00:45:10,641 --> 00:45:14,344
It's I'm sure it's fine not my not my jam

1061
00:45:15,012 --> 00:45:18,248
next is Devil's Backbone Brute IPA man.

1062
00:45:18,248 --> 00:45:21,518
Brutes are really topping the charts
in 2022.

1063
00:45:22,586 --> 00:45:24,188
So easy to find.

1064
00:45:25,355 --> 00:45:28,392
Yeah everyone's making them still.

1065
00:45:28,392 --> 00:45:29,727
It definitely. Wasn't a fad that.

1066
00:45:29,727 --> 00:45:30,360
Just went.

1067
00:45:31,729 --> 00:45:32,096
Next.

1068
00:45:32,096 --> 00:45:34,998
One up is st bernardus abbot 12.

1069
00:45:35,265 --> 00:45:37,434
Oh. Okay, great.

1070
00:45:37,434 --> 00:45:38,402
It's classic, you know.

1071
00:45:38,402 --> 00:45:40,037
Get down with that. Sure. Monks.

1072
00:45:40,037 --> 00:45:42,306
I don't know if I replace champagne
with this one.

1073
00:45:42,306 --> 00:45:44,108
I mean, this is a thick motherfucker.

1074
00:45:44,108 --> 00:45:46,777
This is like some ten w 30 something.

1075
00:45:46,877 --> 00:45:48,946
But, you know, was. That was the one.

1076
00:45:48,946 --> 00:45:50,013
It was I was.

1077
00:45:50,214 --> 00:45:52,282
Waiting for the drop and nothing that.

1078
00:45:52,282 --> 00:45:54,318
Was completely anticlimactic.

1079
00:45:54,318 --> 00:45:55,919
Sorry, I thought that was number two.

1080
00:45:55,919 --> 00:45:58,021
Number two for the new year.

1081
00:45:58,155 --> 00:45:59,022
Yeah. How do you think?

1082
00:45:59,022 --> 00:46:01,625
I probably would have expected
more lambics on this list?

1083
00:46:01,825 --> 00:46:02,559
Yeah. Let it go.

1084
00:46:02,559 --> 00:46:04,828
Like two thumbs down to the list.
You suck.

1085
00:46:04,828 --> 00:46:06,897
And let me pick out
your champagne of beer.

1086
00:46:06,930 --> 00:46:08,632
Yeah. Yeah.

1087
00:46:08,632 --> 00:46:11,702
First of all, this manual makes me
think of one thing and one thing only, and

1088
00:46:12,436 --> 00:46:13,804
that's about as good as their list was

1089
00:46:16,073 --> 00:46:20,410
over their jerking off.

1090
00:46:20,410 --> 00:46:21,178
This one comes.

1091
00:46:21,178 --> 00:46:21,912
This is the last one.

1092
00:46:21,912 --> 00:46:25,082
This one comes to us from untapped,
the top ten

1093
00:46:25,082 --> 00:46:28,051
highest average rated beer styles of 2022.

1094
00:46:28,285 --> 00:46:29,820
Okay, beer styles.

1095
00:46:29,820 --> 00:46:32,222
Styles number ten.

1096
00:46:32,222 --> 00:46:35,793
The just mentioned Lambic
traditional 4.09.

1097
00:46:36,226 --> 00:46:40,664
Number nine,
a porter imperial slash double coffee.

1098
00:46:40,964 --> 00:46:43,233
Okay. I do like. Water.

1099
00:46:43,233 --> 00:46:43,801
Yeah, I do.

1100
00:46:43,801 --> 00:46:45,369
I definitely do.

1101
00:46:45,369 --> 00:46:47,638
Yeah, especially in the wintertime.

1102
00:46:47,638 --> 00:46:50,641
Number eight, stout imperial slash
double oatmeal.

1103
00:46:50,774 --> 00:46:52,543
Number seven, lambic.

1104
00:46:52,543 --> 00:46:55,212
Brut. Lambic in its place. Hm.

1105
00:46:55,846 --> 00:46:59,283
Number six, stout imperial or double milk?

1106
00:46:59,483 --> 00:47:01,885
I do prefer a milk
stout over an oatmeal. Stout.

1107
00:47:02,052 --> 00:47:04,021
You like that? Lactose. Yeah.

1108
00:47:04,021 --> 00:47:06,023
Number five, top five here.

1109
00:47:06,023 --> 00:47:06,356
This one.

1110
00:47:06,356 --> 00:47:09,259
I was a little surprised by barley,
wine, English?

1111
00:47:09,626 --> 00:47:11,829
No, not a no.

1112
00:47:12,362 --> 00:47:13,497
No, not a fan.

1113
00:47:13,497 --> 00:47:15,232
It's a blackout situation.

1114
00:47:15,232 --> 00:47:17,634
Every time. That's one. Show,
no one's going to have beer.

1115
00:47:17,634 --> 00:47:18,535
No, let's say I.

1116
00:47:18,535 --> 00:47:22,039
Got a 13% are still sitting in my fridge
and I don't know what I'm going.

1117
00:47:22,039 --> 00:47:22,773
To do.

1118
00:47:22,806 --> 00:47:23,941
It always tastes like will.

1119
00:47:23,941 --> 00:47:24,842
You'll do it one way.

1120
00:47:24,842 --> 00:47:28,679
It's going to be a crazy night in like no,
no, don't do it because you don't know

1121
00:47:28,679 --> 00:47:29,213
how you're going to eat.

1122
00:47:29,213 --> 00:47:31,081
You'll hear stories the next day.

1123
00:47:31,081 --> 00:47:32,883
You will never remember them.

1124
00:47:32,883 --> 00:47:35,752
Oh, that that's like when we did
the Black Tuesday verticals, the.

1125
00:47:35,752 --> 00:47:36,987
I mean coli. And all that.

1126
00:47:36,987 --> 00:47:39,323
I wish I was there for that.
I sounded amazing.

1127
00:47:39,623 --> 00:47:40,290
It was fun.

1128
00:47:40,290 --> 00:47:42,593
I wish I could remember it,
but I'm told it was fun.

1129
00:47:42,626 --> 00:47:47,164
You you pre-game so hard for no reason
you should not have done that.

1130
00:47:47,197 --> 00:47:48,866
No, not at all.

1131
00:47:48,866 --> 00:47:50,400
A day of champagne.

1132
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,302
What a fucking idiot mistake. Huge.

1133
00:47:52,302 --> 00:47:54,471
What am I, 22? Yeah, it's crazy.

1134
00:47:54,705 --> 00:47:56,506
My liver's not, but I am.

1135
00:47:57,808 --> 00:47:58,408
Oh, already.

1136
00:47:58,408 --> 00:48:01,979
Number four, stout, imperial slash
double pastry.

1137
00:48:02,613 --> 00:48:04,781
Okay, that's.

1138
00:48:04,781 --> 00:48:07,150
But think about how many people come out
with those pastry.

1139
00:48:07,150 --> 00:48:10,354
Stouts. Everybody. Oh, I know. Yeah, yeah.

1140
00:48:10,354 --> 00:48:14,625
I mean, there's a whole fucking festival,
you know, for those stouts.

1141
00:48:14,791 --> 00:48:16,293
Oh, yeah, I've been there.

1142
00:48:16,293 --> 00:48:18,495
Blacked out central. Oh, yeah.

1143
00:48:19,529 --> 00:48:24,034
Number three, stout slash imperial
double or beer slash double.

1144
00:48:24,067 --> 00:48:25,302
Scuse me. 4.14.

1145
00:48:25,302 --> 00:48:28,305
Overall rating number two, stout imperial

1146
00:48:28,305 --> 00:48:30,674
slash double coffee 0.16.

1147
00:48:32,242 --> 00:48:35,112
Can anybody
guess the number one style of 2020.

1148
00:48:35,112 --> 00:48:36,713
Two as some kind of hazy.

1149
00:48:36,713 --> 00:48:38,882
IPA single or double.

1150
00:48:38,882 --> 00:48:40,317
Double dry hopped or.

1151
00:48:40,317 --> 00:48:42,753
Shit. Over fruited sours?

1152
00:48:42,753 --> 00:48:44,922
No, come on.

1153
00:48:45,022 --> 00:48:45,422
I will.

1154
00:48:45,422 --> 00:48:46,423
Have come out and think.

1155
00:48:46,423 --> 00:48:48,492
About how highly rated those get.

1156
00:48:48,959 --> 00:48:51,061
That's true.
I'm going to. I'm going to go.

1157
00:48:51,061 --> 00:48:53,263
Yeah, I'm going to go to sours. Okay.

1158
00:48:53,263 --> 00:48:54,631
Okay, let's go with sours.

1159
00:48:54,631 --> 00:48:55,465
Now, what are you going with?

1160
00:48:55,465 --> 00:48:58,168
I'm going to do like a hazy IPA. Any.

1161
00:48:58,468 --> 00:49:01,138
Any. It's a gas single
double doesn't matter.

1162
00:49:01,438 --> 00:49:03,507
Age just hazy. New England IPA.

1163
00:49:04,107 --> 00:49:04,541
Okay.

1164
00:49:04,541 --> 00:49:10,247
Number one, with an average rating of 4.19
IPA, triple New England slash hazy.

1165
00:49:10,247 --> 00:49:12,149
So a triple. Triple. Hey

1166
00:49:13,183 --> 00:49:14,484
that's a lot of.

1167
00:49:14,484 --> 00:49:15,519
Oh, a lot.

1168
00:49:15,519 --> 00:49:17,220
We love me some triple.

1169
00:49:17,220 --> 00:49:19,456
We like the triples, we like them.

1170
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:21,191
But they're very the lot.

1171
00:49:21,191 --> 00:49:23,827
Everybody makes everyone has them.

1172
00:49:23,860 --> 00:49:27,164
I find triples
to be a little more sweeter than I prefer.

1173
00:49:27,631 --> 00:49:30,033
And I need more sugars
in order to get that alcohol up there.

1174
00:49:30,067 --> 00:49:30,767
Yeah.

1175
00:49:30,767 --> 00:49:33,603
I pulled what was my backup beer
which we didn't make too.

1176
00:49:34,104 --> 00:49:36,540
It's AQ in H collab.

1177
00:49:37,441 --> 00:49:39,710
Oh nice. Triple hazy and.

1178
00:49:39,977 --> 00:49:42,012
You're fucking triple her best bro.

1179
00:49:42,346 --> 00:49:44,781
That's where I live. You know,
what can I do?

1180
00:49:44,781 --> 00:49:47,250
This is my local beer. Yes.

1181
00:49:48,251 --> 00:49:48,552
All right.

1182
00:49:48,552 --> 00:49:49,519
Well, that's pretty much everything.

1183
00:49:49,519 --> 00:49:51,588
I'm going to hit a little music over here.

1184
00:49:51,922 --> 00:49:54,024
Mel, thanks for hanging with us.

1185
00:49:54,024 --> 00:49:55,659
Thanks for having me.

1186
00:49:55,659 --> 00:49:57,060
I have some fun and happy.

1187
00:49:57,060 --> 00:49:58,662
New Year, everybody.

1188
00:49:58,662 --> 00:50:01,531
Happy New Year. Be safe.

1189
00:50:01,531 --> 00:50:01,932
Have fun.

1190
00:50:01,932 --> 00:50:06,236
You all get some pasta
courses and lard bread and.

1191
00:50:07,237 --> 00:50:09,406
And confessions of the food that you ate.

1192
00:50:09,773 --> 00:50:11,942
Oh, my God. Hormone coupon.

1193
00:50:11,942 --> 00:50:13,110
Yeah, we didn't talk.

1194
00:50:13,110 --> 00:50:14,211
You have no know.

1195
00:50:14,211 --> 00:50:16,680
You got to get you know, we had
we have to hit with it.

1196
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:18,482
There's no way we can't talk about it.

1197
00:50:18,482 --> 00:50:21,818
Okay, so last time after
the recording was over that Mel was on.

1198
00:50:22,486 --> 00:50:23,220
She hung out.

1199
00:50:23,220 --> 00:50:25,355
I hung out.
And then we invited the spouses up.

1200
00:50:25,355 --> 00:50:26,256
So she came up.

1201
00:50:26,256 --> 00:50:28,458
Lou came up,
and we were just shooting the shit,

1202
00:50:28,458 --> 00:50:30,560
drinking beer,
getting a little ham, scared

1203
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:34,898
And the way I remember happening
was, we're all hanging out.

1204
00:50:34,898 --> 00:50:36,666
We're talking about
I don't know. What for.

1205
00:50:36,666 --> 00:50:38,235
Literally no reason.

1206
00:50:38,235 --> 00:50:38,969
For no reason.

1207
00:50:38,969 --> 00:50:43,774
Also lose face pops up on Mel's camera and
just goes, I have a confession to make.

1208
00:50:44,474 --> 00:50:46,510
And we were all like.
Oh, this is going to be terrible.

1209
00:50:46,510 --> 00:50:48,779
I was going to be like, Oh, my gosh,
she has another child.

1210
00:50:48,945 --> 00:50:50,247
This is Canadian.

1211
00:50:50,247 --> 00:50:52,482
Who did it? Fuck, like what happened?

1212
00:50:52,482 --> 00:50:53,116
And he.

1213
00:50:53,183 --> 00:50:55,519
He started naming off
like all the street food. Yeah.

1214
00:50:55,552 --> 00:50:56,520
He was like, I ate

1215
00:50:57,687 --> 00:51:01,024
it while you were sleeping
when we were in the city for Thanksgiving.

1216
00:51:01,024 --> 00:51:04,294
He's like,
I had three gyros, six hot dogs.

1217
00:51:04,294 --> 00:51:06,096
I had four slices with pizza.

1218
00:51:06,096 --> 00:51:09,399
I went and had some Chinese food
and I wanted shawarma.

1219
00:51:09,399 --> 00:51:11,768
So I had trauma. I was just like, what.

1220
00:51:12,702 --> 00:51:16,406
Is confession turn into like stoner knight
or stoner dream come true?

1221
00:51:17,240 --> 00:51:19,076
So we're ready for the.

1222
00:51:19,076 --> 00:51:20,577
Calories for that.

1223
00:51:20,577 --> 00:51:21,478
I can't breathe.

1224
00:51:21,478 --> 00:51:22,412
Trying to grow.

1225
00:51:22,412 --> 00:51:28,919
Up on the streets to burn all the goddamn
calories, you know, the fucking food.

1226
00:51:28,919 --> 00:51:29,619
The kicker. Too.

1227
00:51:29,619 --> 00:51:30,720
So I don't know what the.

1228
00:51:30,720 --> 00:51:35,826
Kicker to this story is, that he does
not know Gregor Shannon at all.

1229
00:51:35,959 --> 00:51:38,095
He's never talked to Greg in his life.
Is that just.

1230
00:51:38,228 --> 00:51:39,196
Like once or twice. Maybe.

1231
00:51:39,196 --> 00:51:40,897
Oh, you have. Like after show.

1232
00:51:40,897 --> 00:51:42,466
Yeah, yeah. Well.

1233
00:51:42,466 --> 00:51:44,634
I was really excited
to meet Shannon in person.

1234
00:51:44,634 --> 00:51:45,735
I'm like, I want to hang out with her.

1235
00:51:45,735 --> 00:51:46,603
Like, have her come up.

1236
00:51:46,603 --> 00:51:48,472
Like, we're going to have a couple
of drinks, we're going to hang out.

1237
00:51:48,472 --> 00:51:51,374
Then this guy comes on and I'm like,
So we have to go.

1238
00:51:51,775 --> 00:51:53,510
And she said, You just let me go.

1239
00:51:53,510 --> 00:51:54,644
And I'm like, No, I know.

1240
00:51:54,644 --> 00:51:55,912
I said, I just don't want to.

1241
00:51:55,912 --> 00:51:58,081
Like, I feel like you guys are really busy
right now?

1242
00:51:58,081 --> 00:52:00,217
Like we need to leave.

1243
00:52:00,217 --> 00:52:04,121
And, like, what a weird
first impression you made on these people.

1244
00:52:04,121 --> 00:52:07,324
Like how I can't
even ever look Greg in the face again.

1245
00:52:07,324 --> 00:52:08,525
What are you think?

1246
00:52:08,525 --> 00:52:10,560
You met them 5 minutes ago,
and you'll. Be like, Guys.

1247
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,530
I have a confession. Like,
no one cares. What you fucking.

1248
00:52:13,530 --> 00:52:15,732
Usher over here. There's confessions here.

1249
00:52:16,233 --> 00:52:19,870
We were dead and then the best part of it
is he tried to deny it.

1250
00:52:19,903 --> 00:52:21,771
Deny that? He said that.

1251
00:52:21,771 --> 00:52:25,142
He literally said,
Hey, guys, I have a confession to make.

1252
00:52:25,642 --> 00:52:28,512
And me and Greg joked about it,
said, Usher me.

1253
00:52:28,678 --> 00:52:29,946
And then he said, that never happened.

1254
00:52:29,946 --> 00:52:33,016
I never said confession
to make you 100% dead.

1255
00:52:33,550 --> 00:52:34,117
It was.

1256
00:52:34,117 --> 00:52:38,288
I'm just curious
why that was weighing on him so much.

1257
00:52:38,288 --> 00:52:40,957
It's like it was crazy.

1258
00:52:41,057 --> 00:52:42,392
He felt bad about it.

1259
00:52:42,392 --> 00:52:45,061
A normal person would be like,
good before you live.

1260
00:52:45,061 --> 00:52:46,129
Your life, kid.

1261
00:52:46,129 --> 00:52:46,530
Yeah.

1262
00:52:46,530 --> 00:52:48,532
Enjoy eight gyros you had.

1263
00:52:48,532 --> 00:52:50,300
But it was.

1264
00:52:51,234 --> 00:52:52,836
It was stupid.

1265
00:52:52,836 --> 00:52:55,939
I was telling Mel afterwards
like back in the day the way our

1266
00:52:56,106 --> 00:52:58,775
our podcast
recording service used to work was,

1267
00:52:58,775 --> 00:53:02,345
it would record everything
if you were signed on just in case

1268
00:53:02,345 --> 00:53:03,880
something went wrong
with the main recording.

1269
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:07,284
So I thought, Oh, I'm going to go back
and find him doing his confessions.

1270
00:53:07,284 --> 00:53:08,818
And unfortunately
it doesn't do that anymore.

1271
00:53:08,818 --> 00:53:11,054
Because we were going
to blast the shit out of him.

1272
00:53:11,054 --> 00:53:13,323
We were going to make rules about it.

1273
00:53:13,590 --> 00:53:16,493
We were going to put his face. Like.

1274
00:53:16,993 --> 00:53:20,564
On onto bodies of characters

1275
00:53:20,564 --> 00:53:23,867
so he could dance around
saying his confessions, eating gyros.

1276
00:53:23,867 --> 00:53:26,803
And sadly, the audio was not there.

1277
00:53:27,671 --> 00:53:29,873
But I would have preferred him
to tell you the story about the time

1278
00:53:29,873 --> 00:53:33,710
he saw like strippers or like hookers
fighting in the streets and kicking

1279
00:53:33,743 --> 00:53:34,978
each other into the garbage.

1280
00:53:34,978 --> 00:53:36,780
So we got to get him on the show
very early.

1281
00:53:36,780 --> 00:53:38,281
Yeah, he's pretty funny.

1282
00:53:38,281 --> 00:53:40,183
This this is would brag.

1283
00:53:40,183 --> 00:53:42,752
If he was on the show,
you and I wouldn't talk at all.

1284
00:53:42,953 --> 00:53:45,689
I just want to. Let you know that. No,
I learned that. That never. Shut up.

1285
00:53:45,689 --> 00:53:46,723
He takes over. Yeah.

1286
00:53:46,723 --> 00:53:48,692
It'd be an hour
and a half of confessions. Since

1287
00:53:50,193 --> 00:53:50,694
this.

1288
00:53:50,694 --> 00:53:52,829
This soundclip is what reminded me

1289
00:53:52,963 --> 00:53:56,566
different topic,
but reminded me most of Lou that now.

1290
00:53:57,334 --> 00:54:00,170
Do you want to change your

1291
00:54:00,170 --> 00:54:03,039
or do you want booker teeth?

1292
00:54:03,173 --> 00:54:06,543
So while I was trying
to make that decision, I drove over.

1293
00:54:06,543 --> 00:54:07,844
I had a confession.

1294
00:54:07,844 --> 00:54:12,082
In order to have a PJ burger or

1295
00:54:13,083 --> 00:54:16,286
a chicken fried steak sandwich,

1296
00:54:16,286 --> 00:54:18,622
a chili cheese dog with estrogens,

1297
00:54:19,923 --> 00:54:21,858
French fries,

1298
00:54:22,125 --> 00:54:23,994
tater tots

1299
00:54:24,361 --> 00:54:27,631
washed it down with one beer.

1300
00:54:27,631 --> 00:54:29,366
Two beers,

1301
00:54:29,733 --> 00:54:31,501
three beers

1302
00:54:31,701 --> 00:54:34,170
A shot. Of whiskey.

1303
00:54:34,204 --> 00:54:35,905
On Marguerite

1304
00:54:36,439 --> 00:54:39,242
and a Bloody Mary

1305
00:54:39,242 --> 00:54:41,077
And I. Said, stone cold.

1306
00:54:41,077 --> 00:54:43,747
Why have one when you can have them both

1307
00:54:47,284 --> 00:54:47,784
right there?

1308
00:54:47,784 --> 00:54:49,252
That's perfect.

1309
00:54:49,252 --> 00:54:51,121
That's how the night went

1310
00:54:52,022 --> 00:54:52,689
though.

1311
00:54:53,189 --> 00:54:55,292
Oh, dear God. I love it.

1312
00:54:55,292 --> 00:54:57,294
We couldn't.
We couldn't not talk about it.

1313
00:54:57,327 --> 00:54:58,395
It was just too good.

1314
00:54:58,395 --> 00:55:00,563
My cheeks hurt so bad right now.

1315
00:55:00,563 --> 00:55:01,531
We were dying.

1316
00:55:01,531 --> 00:55:03,733
It was so stupid. It was the funniest.

1317
00:55:03,900 --> 00:55:05,435
Melanie Bell was just in behind her.

1318
00:55:05,435 --> 00:55:06,536
The look on her face like, what the.

1319
00:55:06,536 --> 00:55:08,471
Fuck is going on here?

1320
00:55:08,471 --> 00:55:09,339
It was. This man.

1321
00:55:09,339 --> 00:55:12,075
Flex knows that face very. Well. Oh, yeah.

1322
00:55:12,776 --> 00:55:13,443
