Shout out to our top listening city 12 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,610 last week, and that is Trenton, new Jersey. What up. What up, new Jay? 13 00:01:04,610 --> 00:01:08,370 That's what they call it now. Is that what they call it? Yeah. 14 00:01:08,410 --> 00:01:12,570 Don't ask more questions, but. Absolutely. Okay. I'm convinced. 15 00:01:12,610 --> 00:01:14,650 Yeah. We got some booze news to get to. 16 00:01:14,810 --> 00:01:18,290 Ludacris. Libation law. And what Flex is most excited 17 00:01:18,290 --> 00:01:22,250 for my trip to Florida. I can't wait. I'm so excited. 18 00:01:22,250 --> 00:01:25,570 You literally didn't tell me anything. I really haven't. 19 00:01:25,570 --> 00:01:29,370 Usually we talk things out. I just I've told you almost 20 00:01:29,370 --> 00:01:32,730 nothing about my trip to Florida. So very excited about this. 21 00:01:32,770 --> 00:01:36,290 We'll get right into it. Uh, before we do, Flex is waiting to 22 00:01:36,330 --> 00:01:40,650 drink his beer until he reviews it. Because he's so excited for it. 23 00:01:40,690 --> 00:01:44,890 Well, it's not that I'm excited. It's that it smells really. 24 00:01:44,890 --> 00:01:47,850 Amazing and it's gorgeous. And I'm just. 25 00:01:47,890 --> 00:01:50,890 I just don't want it to, like, I don't know, I'm nervous. 26 00:01:50,890 --> 00:01:53,290 So I was gonna go first because I need the beer before I talk 27 00:01:53,290 --> 00:01:55,450 about Florida. But I don't want you to sit 28 00:01:55,450 --> 00:01:57,890 there and not drink your beer. So let's find out what Flex is 29 00:01:58,010 --> 00:02:01,130 drinking. In a world where craft beer is king. 30 00:02:01,810 --> 00:02:04,690 A world where muscles are bigger than growlers. 31 00:02:05,250 --> 00:02:09,850 Only one tongue can guide us. One man, one tongue. 32 00:02:10,290 --> 00:02:16,130 One Tongue-jobber. In this world, we must find out 33 00:02:16,410 --> 00:02:22,810 what is Flex drinking? All right, so we've had multiple 34 00:02:23,410 --> 00:02:27,410 versions of this beer on the show. It's a series. Long running series. 35 00:02:28,010 --> 00:02:31,850 I thought it was gonna end at five. Apparently they are on eight. 36 00:02:32,530 --> 00:02:38,330 Episodes on. Flex is drinking Voltron Defender of 37 00:02:38,330 --> 00:02:43,410 the Universe volume eight from 4 Hands Brewing out of Saint Louis, 38 00:02:43,450 --> 00:02:48,050 Missouri, which I had the pleasure of visiting last summer. 39 00:02:48,330 --> 00:02:51,210 Oh, and this is always a collaboration beer. 40 00:02:51,450 --> 00:02:56,450 And this time they collaborated with a in-state fella, three sheeps 41 00:02:56,450 --> 00:03:01,780 brewing up in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Not to be confused with Sheboygan, 42 00:03:01,780 --> 00:03:06,580 Wisconsin. Yes. Very different. So I would say relatively new beer. 43 00:03:06,940 --> 00:03:14,380 Uh, 674 ratings on tap. That's 674 and a collective 3.99. 44 00:03:14,460 --> 00:03:17,620 So now my hopes are, you know, they're getting a. 45 00:03:17,620 --> 00:03:20,300 Little, little bit up there. Um, 46 00:03:20,980 --> 00:03:26,940 I don't know why I talked like that. Uh, this is a hazy IPA, uh, in IPA, 47 00:03:27,580 --> 00:03:31,860 and it says it has sultana strata and mosaic hops, and I believe 48 00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:37,540 sultana are the, uh, artists formerly known as Denali hops. Oh. 49 00:03:38,220 --> 00:03:41,900 You can fact check me on that. I didn't even look it up. 50 00:03:41,900 --> 00:03:45,900 I just made it up. The old Untappd crew here says 51 00:03:46,620 --> 00:03:49,740 the eighth release in a series of collaborations with breweries 52 00:03:49,740 --> 00:03:52,900 from around the country to bring the mighty Voltron to life. 53 00:03:53,300 --> 00:03:57,430 Voltron volume eight is a juicy, hazy IPA brewed with Three Sheeps 54 00:03:57,430 --> 00:04:02,630 Brewing in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Topped with a blend of sultana strata 55 00:04:02,630 --> 00:04:07,190 and mosaic hops, this tropical juice bomb boasts bold notes of pineapple, 56 00:04:07,430 --> 00:04:12,670 hello passionfruit, citrus and blueberry that soar from a 57 00:04:12,670 --> 00:04:18,230 malt base composed of pale malt, white wheat and flaked oats. 58 00:04:19,390 --> 00:04:23,750 So, I mean, I was big on the pineapple because I was telling Greg, 59 00:04:24,470 --> 00:04:29,230 my co-host here, uh, hey. It's me. Hey, Greg, uh, I poured, 60 00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:31,870 I cracked this beer, and I poured it before the show, 61 00:04:32,910 --> 00:04:35,790 and it smelled so good. It smelled like fresh, 62 00:04:35,790 --> 00:04:39,710 ripe pineapple. Like you just cut it up and took 63 00:04:39,710 --> 00:04:42,270 a big whiff of the bowl, and it was just. 64 00:04:43,230 --> 00:04:46,950 It got my hopes so high that I was actually afraid to drink the beer. 65 00:04:47,190 --> 00:04:50,550 Um, so I said that I wasn't gonna drink the beer until the 66 00:04:50,550 --> 00:04:55,200 show started. So here we are. Um, we will start with a little 67 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,440 bit of the nose buds. Um, see what's dancing on those 68 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,640 fellas. Hashtag nose buds. And you're right, by the way, 69 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,840 Sultana. Formerly known as Denali or 70 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,320 Experimental hop 06277. I didn't know that one, but, 71 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,440 you know, look at me. Look at me go. I know those things. 72 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,240 So it's a nice looking beer. Great looking. Definitely. 73 00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:18,360 Still is. A little bit ahead. Uh, it's been poured for about, 74 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,080 I don't know, ten, ten or so minutes. Sure. 75 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,480 Uh, so on the, on the nose buds, it's definitely still heaps of 76 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,920 that fresh pineapple. Uh, now that it's warmed up a 77 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,560 little bit, you get a little bit of the malt base coming through. 78 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:36,480 Uh, fingers crossed that that's not going to come through on the palate. 79 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,280 Um. But without further ado, 80 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:48,400 warm up the old Tongue-jobber. Batch 367, 406 and 456. 81 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:55,720 For the other times we drink Voltron. Okay. Um. Ooh. That face. Oh, no. 82 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,360 I wish you guys could see this. Oh, that was, um. 83 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:05,200 We're gonna try this one more time. One more gallon. Uh. It's not. Okay. 84 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:12,440 Where are you gonna try this now? Again. Take two and go. It's a beer. 85 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:20,240 Oh, no. So much excitement. Oh, that is so. Much. Build. 86 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:29,720 Huge bummer. Oh, no. Yeah. Uh, yeah. Uh. Let's see. 87 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:40,000 They said bold notes of pineapple. No. Passion fruit? No, I said citrus. 88 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,360 I didn't get none of that blueberry. No, I didn't get that. Um. 89 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,800 It's really bitter. And it, like, hits you late. Oh, no. 90 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,410 It's on my tongue, and I kind of want to pour it down the drain. 91 00:06:56,250 --> 00:07:00,330 Wow. Yeah. This is. I'd say that's the last Voltron 92 00:07:00,330 --> 00:07:04,210 that you'll be having. I can't. I couldn't it just be a single can? 93 00:07:05,010 --> 00:07:09,250 That's funny. It's a bummer. I mean, granted, this is only this is 94 00:07:09,250 --> 00:07:13,210 only like 1249 for the four pack, so, like, how bad? Complain. 95 00:07:13,810 --> 00:07:17,610 Oh, time to plug and chug. But this is just not. 96 00:07:18,370 --> 00:07:22,410 It's not what I wanted. No, daddy. Yeah. 97 00:07:22,410 --> 00:07:25,690 And I've had really good offerings from both of these breweries. 98 00:07:25,690 --> 00:07:30,050 So this is maybe is a bad can question mark. Yeah. 99 00:07:30,090 --> 00:07:33,530 Maybe one of the other three will be not a drain pour. 100 00:07:33,570 --> 00:07:36,650 Yeah, maybe I'll just give em away. Haven't decided yet. 101 00:07:37,850 --> 00:07:41,010 Some unsuspecting, unsuspecting fool. Yeah. 102 00:07:41,050 --> 00:07:43,570 Maybe they'll think it's okay, I don't know. Maybe. 103 00:07:43,610 --> 00:07:49,970 But, hey, at least the cans. Cool. There's that sweet can art. 104 00:07:50,210 --> 00:07:51,980 All right, well. I wonder if I can scrape this off 105 00:07:51,980 --> 00:07:56,140 my tongue before I go to bed. Oof! I'll see if I can move on from 106 00:07:56,140 --> 00:07:59,140 that gracefully. Yeah. How do we segue from this? 107 00:07:59,460 --> 00:08:03,420 I don't know, man, that sounds awful. Oh, Florida. Florida. 108 00:08:04,660 --> 00:08:11,220 Hey, speaking of awful. There we go. Let's talk about Florida. 109 00:08:11,220 --> 00:08:14,700 So I think I've talked about leading up to this a couple 110 00:08:14,700 --> 00:08:18,980 times on the show. Had to go out for a stupid high 111 00:08:18,980 --> 00:08:23,580 school graduation. One of the wife's family, nephews, 112 00:08:23,620 --> 00:08:28,780 people, and first of all, to me and like I were flying across 113 00:08:28,780 --> 00:08:33,460 country for a high school graduation. That's crazy that you told me this. 114 00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:36,300 Yeah. And I thought that was astounding. 115 00:08:36,340 --> 00:08:40,140 Is it isn't finishing high school just a legal requirement? 116 00:08:40,620 --> 00:08:42,780 Yeah, like maybe not Florida, I don't know. 117 00:08:42,940 --> 00:08:47,220 You almost like you have to, like, not try to do it. Right. 118 00:08:47,220 --> 00:08:51,230 Because I did pretty good at not trying and still graduated high 119 00:08:51,230 --> 00:08:54,350 school. Exactly. Not with flying colors, but, uh, 120 00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:59,590 still graduated. You do it. I did it. So you had to do that. We, uh. 121 00:08:59,590 --> 00:09:03,790 We took a red eye Wednesday night, and the graduation was Thursday 122 00:09:03,790 --> 00:09:07,790 morning at 11 a.m.. We landed Thursday morning at, 123 00:09:07,830 --> 00:09:15,390 like, 730. Rough. I such a bad sleeper on planes. 124 00:09:15,710 --> 00:09:18,830 And this was no exception. In fact, this was one of the worst 125 00:09:19,070 --> 00:09:23,550 red eyes for me that I've ever taken. I got about 30 minutes of sleep. 126 00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:25,870 So we land, we get the car, we go to a. 127 00:09:25,910 --> 00:09:28,270 We found this actually really cool breakfast spot. 128 00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:32,870 Um, ate some breakfast, had like 900 cups of coffee while I was there. 129 00:09:33,350 --> 00:09:36,550 The guy he brought the coffee after the first one was gone in 130 00:09:36,550 --> 00:09:40,230 about 48 seconds. He was real southern and great. 131 00:09:40,230 --> 00:09:42,630 He was funny, but he was like, oh my God, I'm not doing my job. 132 00:09:42,630 --> 00:09:45,230 And like comes over with more coffee. And I said, but if you just want to 133 00:09:45,230 --> 00:09:47,470 leave that there, like, I wouldn't be mad. I can pour it myself. 134 00:09:47,470 --> 00:09:50,110 He's like, no, no, I'm supposed to. I was like, then you're gonna be 135 00:09:50,110 --> 00:09:52,990 getting your steps in today because I'm gonna be needing some coffee. 136 00:09:53,310 --> 00:09:55,830 Can I ask you a question quick? I don't want to interrupt too much. 137 00:09:55,830 --> 00:09:59,190 Please. No. How do you feel about them 138 00:09:59,190 --> 00:10:03,270 refilling your half cup of coffee? Oh, it throws off my cream ratio. 139 00:10:03,310 --> 00:10:07,950 I hate it, yeah. Let me finish my cup before you 140 00:10:07,950 --> 00:10:11,670 bring it over to refill. Mhm. Because otherwise you are 141 00:10:11,670 --> 00:10:15,070 screwing everything up man. Yeah. If I see him coming with it I'll 142 00:10:15,070 --> 00:10:17,910 pound it. Interesting. Like if it's half or less than 143 00:10:17,910 --> 00:10:20,990 half you know. Yeah. Yeah yeah. And then I'll pound it so I can 144 00:10:20,990 --> 00:10:25,950 start over with, with the ratio. Um so did that uh, went and then went 145 00:10:25,950 --> 00:10:29,070 to graduation after that, after we landed. Got car, I got breakfast. 146 00:10:29,110 --> 00:10:30,830 It's time for graduation. Went to graduation. 147 00:10:31,150 --> 00:10:36,470 It was 90 fucking degrees out and 95% humidity. Gross. 148 00:10:37,030 --> 00:10:40,830 We were at this, like, amphitheater thing that luckily had, 149 00:10:40,990 --> 00:10:44,270 um, like, like sales. Like shade sales. You know, it. 150 00:10:44,270 --> 00:10:48,720 Was a nice. Yeah, it wasn't a hard. But when it's 95% humidity and 151 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,600 the air is not fucking moving, it was just like living in a mouth, 152 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,920 right? Things are getting sticky. Oh, sticky and sweaty and, like, 153 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,720 legitimate. At least three people were carried 154 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,920 on a stretcher by the end of it. Come on. Yeah. Due to the heat. 155 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,000 You're serious? Yeah. Yeah. No, seriously. 156 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,040 Old people were getting carried on stretchers. I saw at least three. 157 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,640 In fact, the wife's mom was getting really bad at one point, and she. 158 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,520 She's like, go run up ahead and start the car and get the AC running. 159 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,400 So like I did, I ran up. Cut the cut the car going. 160 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,040 And we had bought a case of water. And you said but honey the knees. 161 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,760 Yeah. At least I didn't have to get up 162 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,440 off the ground. Oh, that was an off air conversation. 163 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,960 Um, and so I got some bottles of water for everybody. 164 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,560 It got a little dicey, but, um. Yeah, so that was awful. 165 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,920 It was hot as balls, just fucking dripping. Then afterwards. 166 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,970 So this is a weird one for me afterwards. Give me your opinion. 167 00:11:45,970 --> 00:11:48,130 We went to lunch. She was like, hey, graduation lunch 168 00:11:48,170 --> 00:11:52,770 at this restaurant. Okay, great. Huge chain restaurant in that area. 169 00:11:52,810 --> 00:11:54,930 I was like, oh, super fun. We're going on vacation. 170 00:11:54,970 --> 00:11:58,490 Vacation quotes. It's not a vacation. We're going on a trip and we eat 171 00:11:58,490 --> 00:12:02,850 out all these chain restaurants. Um, we get there, we order, 172 00:12:02,890 --> 00:12:06,410 we're eating, and at one point, the waiter went up to the father 173 00:12:06,410 --> 00:12:09,050 of the graduate and said something we didn't. 174 00:12:09,050 --> 00:12:10,410 We didn't know what it was a big table. 175 00:12:10,930 --> 00:12:13,930 And then the waiter comes over to everybody and starts asking 176 00:12:13,930 --> 00:12:18,490 how we want to split the bill. Okay, whatever I can, 177 00:12:18,490 --> 00:12:21,050 I can pay for my own meal. I'm not mad that I have to pay 178 00:12:21,050 --> 00:12:24,730 for my own meal. I did think it was weird that 179 00:12:24,730 --> 00:12:28,050 you've asked me to come to this graduation lunch, and you're not 180 00:12:28,050 --> 00:12:32,730 covering it. Is that me? That. No. That's kind of weird, right? 181 00:12:32,770 --> 00:12:36,090 It's not like I asked, can we go to graduation? 182 00:12:36,090 --> 00:12:40,530 Especially because it's not like you flew halfway across the country. 183 00:12:40,850 --> 00:12:44,660 You flew the entire way across the country? Yeah, all the way. 184 00:12:45,100 --> 00:12:48,100 California to Florida. I do think that's a bit bizarre. 185 00:12:48,340 --> 00:12:51,980 I just like when I graduated. And you were invited to the lunch. 186 00:12:51,980 --> 00:12:55,540 It's not like, hey, we're gonna go to this. Come with. Exactly. Yeah. 187 00:12:55,540 --> 00:12:58,420 It wasn't like a whoever wants to feel free. It was. 188 00:12:58,420 --> 00:13:01,380 This is what we're doing after the graduation ceremony. 189 00:13:01,700 --> 00:13:05,460 We have reservations. Be there by this time, so on and so 190 00:13:05,460 --> 00:13:08,460 forth. So I thought that was weird. Like at my graduation, 191 00:13:08,780 --> 00:13:11,340 I can't remember high school, but definitely college graduation. 192 00:13:11,340 --> 00:13:14,980 It was like, you know, it was paid for by my parents because. Right. 193 00:13:15,260 --> 00:13:20,380 That's what you do anyways. Whatever. Um, so that was Thursday. Friday. 194 00:13:20,420 --> 00:13:23,860 I mean, every day we were there was hot as balls, humid as balls. 195 00:13:24,540 --> 00:13:28,260 We went to a couple places for, you know, to eat. We were with family. 196 00:13:28,300 --> 00:13:32,100 It was the wife's family. So I just kind of had to turn off 197 00:13:32,420 --> 00:13:36,940 my caring about where we were going because, like, we kept 198 00:13:36,940 --> 00:13:41,780 going to these chain restaurants. Nobody wanted to be minutely 199 00:13:41,780 --> 00:13:44,460 adventurous with their food. and I'm like, in a new area. 200 00:13:44,460 --> 00:13:49,020 Let's try some local cuisine. Right. How often are you there? 201 00:13:49,180 --> 00:13:56,700 Hopefully never again. Damn it. So, uh, you know, the food was just 202 00:13:56,700 --> 00:14:00,940 mediocre and there was nothing to do because all they have to do 203 00:14:01,060 --> 00:14:04,260 is either like outdoorsy things where you sweat your balls off. 204 00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:06,340 Now, where were you, exactly in Florida? 205 00:14:06,380 --> 00:14:08,540 We were in Saint Pete for the most part. Okay. 206 00:14:08,580 --> 00:14:10,220 Sapient floor, which is outside of Tampa. 207 00:14:10,660 --> 00:14:14,060 And, uh, the old people were too old to be walking around in the heat. 208 00:14:14,060 --> 00:14:17,940 They were fucking passing out, and we didn't want to do, 209 00:14:18,380 --> 00:14:20,900 you know, museum after museum. And we even told them, like, 210 00:14:20,900 --> 00:14:22,900 hey, you guys go do a museum. You want to do a museum? 211 00:14:22,900 --> 00:14:24,140 No, we want to do whatever you want to do. 212 00:14:24,140 --> 00:14:26,620 I'm like, bitch, I want to get hammered. 213 00:14:26,660 --> 00:14:30,980 Forget that. I'm in Florida. Do you not know who I am? Right? 214 00:14:31,340 --> 00:14:36,620 So it was a lot of like, arguing about where we were going, sweating 215 00:14:36,620 --> 00:14:40,260 our balls off the first night there. So Thursday night we go out to dinner 216 00:14:40,620 --> 00:14:44,110 and, uh, we go to pay for parking. It's one of those things like, hey, 217 00:14:44,110 --> 00:14:46,910 get your license plate and go pay for your parking at the machine. 218 00:14:47,350 --> 00:14:49,910 We're paying for parking the machine, and we see the guy coming around 219 00:14:49,910 --> 00:14:52,310 giving tickets to people like he's on it. 220 00:14:52,590 --> 00:14:55,510 And we go, and we have dinner, and we come back, and we came back. 221 00:14:55,550 --> 00:14:59,390 There was a parking ticket on our rental car, and I looked at the time, 222 00:14:59,390 --> 00:15:03,310 the time on the parking ticket ticket was 823. 223 00:15:03,470 --> 00:15:09,510 The park, the the time on my receipt from the parking thing was 824. 224 00:15:09,630 --> 00:15:12,950 This motherfucker gave me a ticket while I was filling out 225 00:15:12,950 --> 00:15:17,430 the parking machine. Come on. So then we had to next day go to 226 00:15:17,470 --> 00:15:19,790 the fucking. Here's how often they do this. 227 00:15:19,790 --> 00:15:24,430 They have an office off of their city hall just for parking tickets. 228 00:15:24,470 --> 00:15:27,710 Not the police station, not a general city hall office. 229 00:15:27,750 --> 00:15:30,790 It is specifically for parking tickets. 230 00:15:31,390 --> 00:15:34,310 And so we went into this and I just I said, the lady, I was like, 231 00:15:34,310 --> 00:15:37,030 hey, I got a parking ticket while I was paying for parking, 232 00:15:37,070 --> 00:15:40,230 trying to do the right thing here. I said, you can look at my receipt, 233 00:15:40,270 --> 00:15:43,120 you know. 823. 824. She goes. Let me have a look. 234 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,600 To her credit, extremely friendly and was like, no problem, 235 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,080 we're gonna avoid this out. I was like, 236 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,000 is the rental company gonna know? She's like, they'll never find out. 237 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,440 My wife wanted to get a couple words in she goes. 238 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,800 And we saw him doing this and we were paying and maybe he needs to blah, 239 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,120 blah, blah. And she goes, 240 00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,560 I'm gonna avoid your ticket. And I was like, 241 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:04,200 just let her avoid the ticket. We'll never come back here. Yeah. 242 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,920 Like she I look normally I'm totally with her. 243 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,520 Like, let's fucking bitch and let them know that fuck you Florida 244 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,440 because fuck you Florida. But I was like, let's just let's 245 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,840 just not have to pay for the ticket. And they do that thing where, like, 246 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,960 the parking ticket was only like $25, where it's one of those things 247 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,160 where it's like, oh, just it's low enough to where I'll just pay it 248 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,080 so I don't have to waste my time. Yeah, but it was a matter of 249 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,480 principle at this point. Fuck you. I'm a big fan of principle. 250 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:33,640 Yeah, not principles, but principle. Yeah. Yes. What? What you said. 251 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,560 So anyways, got that voided. Went on with our day of just 252 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,080 eating too much food. And the one family member who lives 253 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,600 there was impossible for suggestions. It was like, hey, you know, 254 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,440 what do you think we should do if we want to do x, Y, and Z? 255 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,280 And she's like, oh, I don't know. So at one point we go to this area 256 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,640 called Gulf Gulfport, which my wife had done a little research on. 257 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,320 It's like an out, I say outdoorsy, everything's outdoorsy, 258 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,040 but it's like a beachy community where they have like shops along the 259 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,480 beach and it's like old houses turn into shops and that kind of stuff, 260 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,480 like, all right, that sounds cool. You know, we'll eat lunch and 261 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,640 cruise around these shops. Well, she kind of forgot that. 262 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,600 That's an area that got fucking destroyed by the hurricane six 263 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,320 months ago. And so almost everything along 264 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,840 the beach was closed. Oh, no. You had to go like a block in, 265 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,560 and it just wasn't what it was sold to be. I will say one of. 266 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,960 No, not one of the best brewery in Saint Pete that we went to 267 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,520 was Gulfport Brewery. Went there for lunch because 268 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,200 it's the only place we could find that had enough indoor 269 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,840 seating for all of us, because we needed the air conditioning, 270 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:38,040 and their beer was pretty not gross. That sounds like a stellar place 271 00:17:38,130 --> 00:17:42,650 in Florida. Yeah, exactly. So, um. Then Saturday it was raining, 272 00:17:42,690 --> 00:17:45,370 like, woke up to it pouring, but luckily it mostly stopped by 273 00:17:45,370 --> 00:17:52,530 about noon. Saturday was decent. So we on Friday evening, uh, the 274 00:17:52,530 --> 00:17:55,970 old people went back to take a nap. And we went to Three Daughters 275 00:17:55,970 --> 00:17:58,850 Brewing, which I had heard of. I've had a bunch of three 276 00:17:58,850 --> 00:18:01,770 daughters stuff at Disney. Okay. Yeah, I'd heard of them. 277 00:18:01,770 --> 00:18:04,650 I think Nicole, when they went out there, they had had them. 278 00:18:04,650 --> 00:18:06,210 And so I was like, all right, right down the street, let's go. 279 00:18:06,210 --> 00:18:10,010 Let's go fit in a couple of beers at Three Daughters and got a flight, 280 00:18:10,010 --> 00:18:12,690 plus a couple beers. And it was just okay. 281 00:18:12,730 --> 00:18:15,530 It's very okay stuff. Yeah, yeah. Like we had a couple. 282 00:18:15,570 --> 00:18:18,010 Yeah, we had a couple that were good. We had a couple that were 283 00:18:18,330 --> 00:18:20,890 fucking disgusting. And we had one that was like 284 00:18:20,890 --> 00:18:23,450 fine right in the middle. Yeah, that sounds. About. Right. 285 00:18:23,690 --> 00:18:26,010 Yeah, exactly. Even I posted a picture on the 286 00:18:26,010 --> 00:18:28,810 gram and Vanessa, you know, responded to it. Hi, Vanessa. 287 00:18:29,330 --> 00:18:31,930 And, uh, was like, oh, three daughters. What did you think? 288 00:18:31,930 --> 00:18:34,410 And I was like, we had two that were good. We had two that were bad. 289 00:18:34,410 --> 00:18:38,500 And she goes, yep. Sounds about right. Yeah. So every. 290 00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:41,500 Everything I've ever had. Yeah. Yeah, it was just fine. 291 00:18:41,740 --> 00:18:46,380 Um, so Gulfport and three daughters, um, Gulfport was the better 292 00:18:46,380 --> 00:18:49,300 brewery descent. So. Okay. So Saturday woke up, 293 00:18:49,340 --> 00:18:52,580 had breakfast, and then, because the old people had left, the wife 294 00:18:52,580 --> 00:18:56,140 let me have some beers that day. And so we went to Dissent Brewing, 295 00:18:56,140 --> 00:18:58,260 which is also in Saint Pete. It was fine. 296 00:18:58,300 --> 00:18:59,740 Uh, better than three daughters, you know. 297 00:18:59,780 --> 00:19:01,860 Got a couple flight or got a flight and a beer. 298 00:19:02,020 --> 00:19:05,780 And, um, it was better than not, you know. Pretty good. 299 00:19:05,820 --> 00:19:07,820 Okay, here's what I will say about three daughters. 300 00:19:07,820 --> 00:19:10,820 They did have a coffee blonde ale. And it was fucking phenomenal. 301 00:19:11,300 --> 00:19:14,380 Phenomenal, phenomenal. Like, would purchase, 302 00:19:14,380 --> 00:19:19,380 but they didn't have cans. Oh. Yeah. Um, so yeah. So descent was fine. 303 00:19:19,380 --> 00:19:22,220 And then we made our way to Tampa, and this is where the beer 304 00:19:22,220 --> 00:19:26,980 finally started to get. Tampa's got a Zac goes to Tampa 305 00:19:26,980 --> 00:19:30,100 for Tampa Beer Week, right? Which I totally forgot. 306 00:19:30,100 --> 00:19:32,900 And I should have asked him now. I got great suggestions from Vanessa 307 00:19:32,900 --> 00:19:37,310 and her husband and I totally forgot. Zach's always down there, 308 00:19:37,310 --> 00:19:39,430 and he even hit me up after I posted a couple of pictures, 309 00:19:39,430 --> 00:19:40,790 like, are you in Tampa? And I was like, fuck, 310 00:19:40,830 --> 00:19:43,190 I should have asked Zach. Yeah, Zach knows all about that. 311 00:19:43,230 --> 00:19:48,190 Yeah. So I started at Ology Brewing. Fantastic beer. Yep. So good. 312 00:19:48,230 --> 00:19:52,270 In fact, I will say it now. Ology Brewing had the best beer 313 00:19:52,270 --> 00:19:56,230 I had on the entire trip. Big words. Yes. Really good. 314 00:19:56,270 --> 00:19:57,750 Wish we could have just stayed there all day. 315 00:19:57,870 --> 00:20:00,870 They didn't have food at the location we were at and it was 316 00:20:00,870 --> 00:20:03,190 our first Tampa brewery, so of course we were gonna move on. 317 00:20:03,550 --> 00:20:07,110 Um, then we went to Angry Chair, and Vanessa was really pushing that. 318 00:20:07,110 --> 00:20:08,710 We go to Angry Chair, and I was like, all right. 319 00:20:08,710 --> 00:20:10,950 And so the wife was like, you know, girl power or whatever. 320 00:20:10,990 --> 00:20:12,870 Vanessa says, angry chair. We go to anger Chair. 321 00:20:13,310 --> 00:20:16,550 Plus we were hungry and they had food. Uh, beer was fine. 322 00:20:16,750 --> 00:20:18,870 Same kind of thing. Or like, big stouts. 323 00:20:19,190 --> 00:20:21,190 I've never heard of anything else by them. 324 00:20:21,230 --> 00:20:23,750 Yeah, and she said that she goes, hey, they have really good stouts. 325 00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:25,190 And I said, look, we're not drinking stouts. 326 00:20:25,190 --> 00:20:28,470 It's 90 degrees and way too much humidity. 327 00:20:28,510 --> 00:20:32,350 Last thing I want is fucking stout with my balls sweating. 328 00:20:32,950 --> 00:20:36,190 And she goes, no, no, no, they still have good beer. It was fine. 329 00:20:36,310 --> 00:20:39,670 Didn't have any stouts, though. Then we went to deviant. What? 330 00:20:39,750 --> 00:20:42,030 Oh, I was I thought you said they didn't have any stouts. 331 00:20:42,030 --> 00:20:44,310 You said you didn't have any. We did not. We they did. 332 00:20:44,310 --> 00:20:47,430 We did not drink them. Then we went to Deviant Brewing, 333 00:20:47,470 --> 00:20:50,910 who I guess was known for their sours, and they had a couple sours in 334 00:20:50,910 --> 00:20:55,150 our flight that were really good. Got their hazy, pale because, 335 00:20:55,190 --> 00:20:58,630 you know, I'm a whore. It tasted like liquid bandaid. 336 00:20:58,630 --> 00:21:00,710 There were so many off flavors in that thing. 337 00:21:01,230 --> 00:21:05,550 It was the worst beer I had on the entire trip. Oh, what a. 338 00:21:05,870 --> 00:21:10,750 That says a lot too. It was bad, but the couple of 339 00:21:10,750 --> 00:21:13,150 sours were pretty decent, so, you know, whatever. 340 00:21:13,390 --> 00:21:16,910 Um, would would buy this ours again. And then we ended the night at 341 00:21:16,910 --> 00:21:18,550 Cigar City. I know Cigar City is, like, 342 00:21:18,590 --> 00:21:21,430 sort of craft. Not really, but, um, they have a 343 00:21:21,470 --> 00:21:25,470 big kitchen and it's like, you know, going to what is yours? 344 00:21:25,510 --> 00:21:28,510 Lakefront brewing. Lakefront. Yeah. You know what you're gonna get? 345 00:21:28,510 --> 00:21:30,750 You know, you're gonna get some decent beers no matter what. 346 00:21:30,790 --> 00:21:32,270 Yeah, it's not going to be mind blowing, 347 00:21:32,270 --> 00:21:35,960 but you're gonna drink and say, yeah, this is a beer. Yeah, exactly. 348 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,120 So I went to Cigar City, had dinner. First of all, 349 00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:41,040 food was really good. They had. They called them Chicharrones. 350 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,800 What do you think of chicharron is what do you think of when you 351 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,920 hear chicharrones? I actually have no idea. 352 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,640 Is it like a, like a pork rind or something? Exactly. It's a pork rind. 353 00:21:50,120 --> 00:21:52,360 And they, they called them pork belly. Chicharrones. 354 00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:54,360 Well, they weren't chicharrones at all. 355 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,920 It was legit chunks of pork belly. Like, it was like pork belly nuggets. 356 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,080 And they were giant. They were delicious. 357 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:05,440 First of all, did not expect it to be this giant plate of pork belly that 358 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,920 was just gonna be chicharrones, uh, fucking delicious, but way too much. 359 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,280 And then also got, like, a salad with that. And, um, food was good. 360 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,560 I had, they had a, um, hazy, pale on tap, which was not part of the 361 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,200 core lineup, and it was delicious. I ordered two, 362 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,200 that's how good it was. Um, so they may not be super crafty, 363 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:28,480 but it was fucking delicious. And I ran a train on those choo choo. 364 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,970 Yeah. Then we, uh, then we went back to the 365 00:22:32,970 --> 00:22:36,050 hotel because we had to wake up at four in the morning to catch our 366 00:22:36,050 --> 00:22:39,890 flight back home. Oh, man. Yeah. Uh, dude, the first day there, 367 00:22:39,890 --> 00:22:41,490 when we got there, the day of the graduation. 368 00:22:41,490 --> 00:22:44,650 So fucking tired because obviously did not really sleep on the plane. 369 00:22:44,850 --> 00:22:46,290 And I want to do is go back and take a nap. 370 00:22:46,290 --> 00:22:48,970 And I was like, no, come to dinner or lunch and pay for your 371 00:22:48,970 --> 00:22:53,250 own lunch and, and then do this. And finally, at one point, 372 00:22:53,250 --> 00:22:56,930 I told the wife I was like, I need to go take a nap because 373 00:22:56,930 --> 00:23:01,050 I'm getting a little angry. And nobody, nobody wants to see 374 00:23:01,090 --> 00:23:03,850 Angry Greg. Exactly. And she was on board too, but she 375 00:23:03,850 --> 00:23:06,170 just needed a little prodding. So she's like, all right, we're gonna 376 00:23:06,170 --> 00:23:08,410 go back to hotel and take a nap. And, you know, don't call us for 377 00:23:08,410 --> 00:23:11,490 three hours or whatever. So I took a nap, and then I just. 378 00:23:11,530 --> 00:23:15,210 I was tired the whole trip because that totally threw me off and then 379 00:23:15,570 --> 00:23:18,690 landed on Sunday was just super, even though it was Sunday and we 380 00:23:18,690 --> 00:23:22,690 had the whole day like super tired. The only direct flight back was at 381 00:23:22,690 --> 00:23:26,330 seven in the morning Florida time. And so what did you arrive like 382 00:23:26,370 --> 00:23:29,570 4 a.m. California time? So no, no, you go the other way. 383 00:23:29,570 --> 00:23:31,140 So I land. Well, not the other way, but yeah, 384 00:23:31,580 --> 00:23:33,780 it went up like two hours. We landed like just before 385 00:23:33,780 --> 00:23:37,700 9 a.m. California time. Okay. Because it would have been 12 386 00:23:37,740 --> 00:23:40,940 Florida time because like a five hour almost. Right? 387 00:23:40,940 --> 00:23:43,420 Right, right. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So had the whole day to 388 00:23:43,420 --> 00:23:45,980 ourselves Sunday to recover. But, you know, took a nap and was 389 00:23:45,980 --> 00:23:49,180 tired and still tired the next day and just just trying to recover. 390 00:23:49,180 --> 00:23:51,820 So anyways, um. And traveling just takes it out 391 00:23:51,860 --> 00:23:54,860 of you. It does. That too. You don't really do anything, but 392 00:23:54,860 --> 00:23:58,820 it just takes it out of you. Yeah. There's gotta be some science 393 00:23:58,820 --> 00:24:01,940 behind that. Probably slept so little on this 394 00:24:01,940 --> 00:24:06,180 trip. I'm still recovering. So, um, did not get a gator nor 395 00:24:06,220 --> 00:24:10,260 a grenade when I stepped foot onto Florida land. Really? 396 00:24:10,300 --> 00:24:13,740 Sound like you actually went to Florida then? Yeah. Yeah, maybe. 397 00:24:13,780 --> 00:24:16,260 I say maybe Tampa, not Florida, but Tampa is very Florida. 398 00:24:16,300 --> 00:24:21,580 Like it's there was some Florida people there for sure. Uh oh. 399 00:24:21,820 --> 00:24:23,740 Here's here's Florida for you at the graduation. 400 00:24:23,740 --> 00:24:26,580 Besides all the old people passing out from the heat, uh, 401 00:24:26,580 --> 00:24:30,500 there was a fight in the parking lot afterwards. That's amazing. Yeah. 402 00:24:30,580 --> 00:24:33,380 Anybody we've told that story to, they're like, oh, well, welcome to 403 00:24:33,420 --> 00:24:38,460 Florida. Stop it. I swear to God. It's like that's a normal occurrence. 404 00:24:38,660 --> 00:24:40,500 I guess they're just like, oh yeah, welcome to Florida. 405 00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:44,780 It's like, all right. Fantastic. So what's what's next? Yeah. 406 00:24:44,940 --> 00:24:47,860 So like, you know, did anything horrible happened? I guess not. 407 00:24:47,900 --> 00:24:50,700 It was just not first of all, it was not a vacation. 408 00:24:50,740 --> 00:24:52,940 Like when I got back Monday morning, the boss was like, hey, 409 00:24:52,940 --> 00:24:55,020 how was your trip? I was like, uh, 410 00:24:55,420 --> 00:24:59,580 not not a vacation, not relaxing. You know, zero out of ten would 411 00:24:59,580 --> 00:25:04,700 not recommend. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. No, thanks. Weather fucking suck. 412 00:25:04,780 --> 00:25:09,660 Hey, worst dick weather. Yeah. Ever. So you texted me that, 413 00:25:09,660 --> 00:25:15,140 and I was astounded. So bad. I've been to Orlando quite a few 414 00:25:15,140 --> 00:25:16,660 times. I know, I know. We've talked about. 415 00:25:16,700 --> 00:25:20,660 Orlando a little discrepancy. You know, in Tampa and Orlando. 416 00:25:21,020 --> 00:25:25,620 Orlando's great dick weather. Yeah. Like you would have feel real good 417 00:25:25,620 --> 00:25:29,790 about yourself. Go to Orlando. Yeah. Go swinging in Orlando. Oh, yeah. 418 00:25:30,350 --> 00:25:34,750 Now, I've only been to Orlando in either January or February, 419 00:25:34,950 --> 00:25:38,510 so obviously not hot. I've been in January once. 420 00:25:38,510 --> 00:25:41,350 It was still pretty nice. Yeah. Still nice. 421 00:25:41,350 --> 00:25:44,190 Now, the first time I went was the coldest January they'd ever had on 422 00:25:44,190 --> 00:25:47,390 record. That's not good, right? I mean, you know, it's Florida, 423 00:25:47,390 --> 00:25:51,750 so that meant like 50s. Well, it's still not great weather. 424 00:25:51,790 --> 00:25:53,990 Yeah. Not great weather. No, that's for sure. 425 00:25:53,990 --> 00:25:56,350 But all the other times, great dick weather in Orlando. 426 00:25:56,630 --> 00:25:59,670 Um, Miami had pretty good weather too, from what I remember. 427 00:25:59,710 --> 00:26:02,910 It wasn't that humid. Okay. And we were chilling at the beach 428 00:26:02,910 --> 00:26:05,990 the whole time getting drunk. So the the the dick was swinging. 429 00:26:06,390 --> 00:26:09,070 Super good dick weather there. Yeah, but, uh, 430 00:26:09,070 --> 00:26:13,230 Saint Pete slash Tampa area. That thing is looking for a hole 431 00:26:13,230 --> 00:26:16,750 to hide in. That's crazy. Yeah. It was it was just so bad. 432 00:26:16,790 --> 00:26:19,830 It's so hot and muggy. And like I said, it was like 433 00:26:19,830 --> 00:26:23,870 living in a fucking mouth. Gross. I don't want to live in a mouth. 434 00:26:23,910 --> 00:26:28,400 Exactly. Nobody does. That's like, actually, like a 435 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:33,240 really gross way to put it. Yeah. I mean, it was kind of Vegas 436 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,840 kind of does this a little bit. Not humid. Vegas is not humid at all. 437 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,320 But Vegas, you know, if it's 110in the day, 438 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,160 you'd be walking around at 3 a.m. and it's still like 98 degrees out. 439 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,400 You know, it doesn't get it doesn't cool down that much. 440 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,880 This was the same like it'd be 90 in the day and humid as fuck. 441 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,920 And then we'd be walking around at midnight and it was still like 88 442 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,640 humid as fuck. It's like no reprieve. Just getting the AC. 443 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,000 It's all we could do. And then her sister, the one who 444 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,960 lives there, just wanted to, like, roll down windows in the 445 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,080 car and sit outside at bars. I'm like, what the fuck is wrong? 446 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,440 What is wrong with you? And she's not from there. 447 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,320 She's from the San Francisco area where it's cold all the time. 448 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,000 I was like, I don't care how long you've lived here, 449 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,520 this is not okay. No. Rolling your windows down in 98 450 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,920 degree weather. Not cool. There was nothing enjoyable 451 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,440 about that. So bad. Yeah, like, let's roll our 452 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:27,130 windows down to turn the heat on. You know? Like who? No. 453 00:27:27,650 --> 00:27:30,850 It's your air conditioner. Broken. Like what is happening? Grow up. 454 00:27:31,210 --> 00:27:35,330 Oh. So gross. So, um. Yeah. Hey, don't don't go to fucking Tampa, 455 00:27:35,370 --> 00:27:38,930 I guess. Or just Florida in general. I have no need to ever go back. 456 00:27:39,170 --> 00:27:41,610 I said something about never coming back to Florida. The wife's like. 457 00:27:41,610 --> 00:27:43,410 But I want to go to Disneyland with you someday. 458 00:27:43,450 --> 00:27:46,370 I was like, we can do that. I hope you corrected her and said, 459 00:27:46,370 --> 00:27:49,610 you mean Disney World? Oh. You know what? I bet she said, world. 460 00:27:49,610 --> 00:27:54,170 This is. This is me. I've been drinking. Yeah. Uh. 461 00:27:54,490 --> 00:27:59,250 So, um. Yeah. Florida sucks. Sorry, Vanessa. Yeah. You know what? 462 00:27:59,250 --> 00:28:03,370 I really enjoy Disney because Disney's not really Florida, right? 463 00:28:03,450 --> 00:28:06,130 It's a little slice of heaven inside of Florida. 464 00:28:06,370 --> 00:28:11,250 It's a melting pot of heaven. And then, um, what else we got? 465 00:28:11,290 --> 00:28:15,250 Uh, I really, really like Fort Myers. I don't know if you've ever been 466 00:28:15,610 --> 00:28:18,650 another super touristy town, but. Okay. 467 00:28:18,850 --> 00:28:25,570 Um, kind of demolished with the, uh, hurricane last year, so. Oh. 468 00:28:25,930 --> 00:28:30,010 I don't know if it's up and running if it's not. 469 00:28:30,010 --> 00:28:33,810 But that was always a really cool place and it's real close to the 470 00:28:33,810 --> 00:28:38,530 airport. Okay. Over there. So, uh, any kind of trip from the 471 00:28:38,530 --> 00:28:41,970 hotel or the airport to the hotel, just super nice. 472 00:28:42,530 --> 00:28:46,170 Okay, I'm looking it up now. All right, so that's pretty south. 473 00:28:46,210 --> 00:28:49,690 I mean, that's almost as low as Miami just on the other coast. 474 00:28:49,690 --> 00:28:52,650 Okay, I didn't realize. I didn't realize it was that low. 475 00:28:52,810 --> 00:28:58,050 Yeah, like I'm looking now. Like Naples is exactly the same level 476 00:28:58,050 --> 00:29:01,290 as. Yeah, it's near Naples. Yeah. Naples is exactly the same as 477 00:29:01,290 --> 00:29:03,250 Fort Lauderdale, which is just above Miami. 478 00:29:03,370 --> 00:29:06,290 And Fort Myers is a little bit above Naples. So it's down there. 479 00:29:06,290 --> 00:29:10,730 It's right on Palm Beach. So, um. Yeah, I wonder if the weather's 480 00:29:10,730 --> 00:29:14,170 just nicer the south or you go or something maybe. I don't know. 481 00:29:14,170 --> 00:29:17,050 Because, like, we're we're in Saint Pete and Tampa. It's on the water. 482 00:29:17,090 --> 00:29:18,810 It's not like there was no water to be seen. 483 00:29:18,850 --> 00:29:22,690 It's just fucking hot as balls. Interesting. It's awful. 484 00:29:22,780 --> 00:29:29,260 Never again. Hashtag never again. American. Damn it! So, um. 485 00:29:29,420 --> 00:29:32,740 Yeah, that's. That was Florida. I never need to go back to Saint 486 00:29:32,740 --> 00:29:37,420 Pete. Tampa. What a trip. Yeah. Can't wait to never do it again. 487 00:29:37,660 --> 00:29:39,460 I feel like my dad. My dad hates traveling. 488 00:29:40,060 --> 00:29:42,980 I just hate Florida. Yeah, I like traveling. 489 00:29:43,020 --> 00:29:44,340 Yeah, I do too. I like it a lot, actually. 490 00:29:44,380 --> 00:29:48,140 I don't do it enough. But, man, when I get out to 491 00:29:48,140 --> 00:29:52,100 somewhere new, I'm looking for all the cool places to go and anywhere 492 00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:55,780 that's not a chain. And. Right. I don't ask people to pay for 493 00:29:55,780 --> 00:30:01,540 their own lunch. Like I said, totally fine paying 494 00:30:01,540 --> 00:30:03,940 for it. It just was weird. It's like, hey, come to this 495 00:30:03,940 --> 00:30:07,220 thing that I have organized, but also pay for your own lunch. 496 00:30:07,700 --> 00:30:11,820 Okay, I didn't know that's how it worked, man. It's Florida tradition. 497 00:30:12,500 --> 00:30:15,740 Maybe. Oh, Flex his face. He just took another sip. 498 00:30:16,860 --> 00:30:20,500 I'm trying to finish it. Right. All right. 499 00:30:20,540 --> 00:30:24,110 Before it went on way too long. I'm sorry. That was just a big, long. 500 00:30:24,230 --> 00:30:26,670 Too long. Didn't read version. Florida sucks. 501 00:30:27,310 --> 00:30:30,670 Uh, before I talk about my beer. Let's talk, uh, ludicrous libation. 502 00:30:30,790 --> 00:30:33,230 It's been a while. Yeah, it really has. 503 00:30:33,630 --> 00:30:36,990 Take a trip up to your hood. Minnesota. Well, you know. 504 00:30:37,150 --> 00:30:39,070 Next to your hood. Don't confuse people. 505 00:30:39,110 --> 00:30:43,910 Hood adjacent. Hood adjacent. I like that. What a term. 506 00:30:43,950 --> 00:30:49,950 Yeah, apparently, public intoxication is specifically not a crime. 507 00:30:50,070 --> 00:30:52,110 That's fucking awesome. Yeah, a lot of places. 508 00:30:52,110 --> 00:30:54,070 If you're just drunk in public, that's a crime. 509 00:30:54,070 --> 00:30:57,150 You can't be drunk in public. Uh, it goes on to say, while merely 510 00:30:57,150 --> 00:31:00,510 being intoxicated in public is not a crime under state law, the behavior 511 00:31:00,510 --> 00:31:04,870 associated with intoxication can lead to criminal charges such as 512 00:31:04,870 --> 00:31:08,750 disorderly conduct, offensive, obscene, or noisy behavior. 513 00:31:08,830 --> 00:31:12,150 I mean, that's everywhere. The fact that you can be drunk 514 00:31:12,190 --> 00:31:15,430 in public is amazing. Just handle your your shit and 515 00:31:15,430 --> 00:31:17,750 keep your shit together. Right. Because here, 516 00:31:17,750 --> 00:31:22,120 it's definitely not okay. Right? Yeah. Here is super not okay. 517 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:26,200 I had a buddy come over, uh, one summer for, you know, 518 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,480 a couple cans and have a good time. And he rode his bike, 519 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,640 and it was probably like a two mile bike ride from his house. 520 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,920 And the topic of conversation came up, and it was like, hey, like, even 521 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:42,600 if you get caught drunk on your bike, like, that's still a ticket, right? 522 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,560 You know, so like, it shouldn't be. But yes. Right. 523 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,600 It shouldn't because you're not only. Endangering yourself. Right. 524 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:54,600 You're not endangering others. Um, but yeah, still a legit citation. 525 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:59,720 And, you know, so it's like what? You know, I guess the lesser of 526 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,200 two evils if you want to put it, you know. Yeah. 527 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,320 A lot of places, the punishment for, like riding your bike while drunk 528 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,400 is the same as driving a car. Which is mind blowing. 529 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,920 That's bullshit, I am, I'm totally against you. 530 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,440 Should be encouraged to not get behind a vehicle. Yeah. 531 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,120 Whatever. Walk. Ride your bike. Yeah. Just. Yeah, exactly. 532 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,480 So who cares? All right. After all that Florida bitching, 533 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:24,200 I need a beer. 534 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:38,300 He calls to the bullpen for beer. I am drinking out of Colorado Outer 535 00:32:38,300 --> 00:32:46,720 Range brewing sunrise dreams. This is a gorgeous hazy IPA six 536 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,320 point. Very nice. Yeah, 537 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:54,680 the right color on the last week. 6.7% has A413 untapped out of 538 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,760 646 ratings. And it says nothing but hops. 539 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:04,480 Nelson and Citra, ABV 6.7. That's the description. Amazing hops. 540 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,360 Great hops. That's all it says. Let's see on the nose buds. 541 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,960 Fairly light. Picking up some citrus? Yeah, just real light. 542 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,840 Uh, citrusy orangey ness on the schnoz. 543 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,210 Let's dig in with the old Tongue-jobber. Oh. Mhm. 544 00:33:19,370 --> 00:33:24,370 Much better than your beer. I'm not jealous at all. Yeah. 545 00:33:24,970 --> 00:33:28,090 This is the best way possible. Is like orange juice. 546 00:33:28,330 --> 00:33:33,570 The Nelson and Citra are shining. It's orangey and citrusy. 547 00:33:33,970 --> 00:33:38,610 It is not coating the tongue. It's just finishing dry. 548 00:33:39,010 --> 00:33:42,130 This is. This is a good daddy. I drink this again. 549 00:33:42,130 --> 00:33:45,530 I'd buy this again. Damn. I'd buy a whole four pack. 550 00:33:46,330 --> 00:33:50,130 Ah, there it is. Yep. I'll be in Colorado next month. 551 00:33:50,130 --> 00:33:52,370 Maybe I could find me some more juice. 552 00:33:52,410 --> 00:33:57,810 I'm one jealous daddy over here. Let me tell you. Jealous daddy? Um. 553 00:33:57,810 --> 00:34:00,890 This is good. Outer Range brewing. I feel like I've had something 554 00:34:00,890 --> 00:34:04,050 from them before, but I have. I must have, right? 555 00:34:04,330 --> 00:34:07,090 I've definitely had a beer or two from these guys before. 556 00:34:07,530 --> 00:34:10,690 Okay, I guess I could looked it up before we did this, but I think 557 00:34:10,690 --> 00:34:13,170 I've seen them on the table before. And this is another one of those 558 00:34:13,170 --> 00:34:15,690 Tavour beers. And if this is good coming from 559 00:34:15,690 --> 00:34:19,340 Tavour, imagine how good it is. You know, not coming from Tavour. 560 00:34:19,660 --> 00:34:22,340 Let me search for it real quick. Nothing's popping up on the show 561 00:34:22,340 --> 00:34:25,300 archive. I haven't had any Outer Range on 562 00:34:25,300 --> 00:34:27,420 the show. I think I've had Outer Range. Gotcha. 563 00:34:27,540 --> 00:34:30,780 That's what I'm saying. I see. All right, a little news before 564 00:34:30,780 --> 00:34:33,020 we get out of here. First, don't forget this week. 565 00:34:33,020 --> 00:34:35,540 June 14th is Topa Topa 10th anniversary. 566 00:34:35,540 --> 00:34:40,020 If you're out in our hood, stop by on Saturday. Come say hi and be there. 567 00:34:40,060 --> 00:34:42,980 Be square, you idiot. Yeah, don't be square. 568 00:34:43,060 --> 00:34:47,220 Be circle. Uh. All right. Six of the ten largest craft 569 00:34:47,220 --> 00:34:51,820 brewers shed volume in 2024. According to the Brewers Association. 570 00:34:51,820 --> 00:34:56,020 Latest update in the new Brewer magazine, six of the top ten craft 571 00:34:56,020 --> 00:34:59,780 breweries actually lost volume in 2020 for craft beer overall, 572 00:34:59,780 --> 00:35:03,060 dropped 4% last year, down to 23.1 million barrels. 573 00:35:03,580 --> 00:35:06,660 Now, that's not entirely unexpected, but here's what stings the big 574 00:35:06,660 --> 00:35:10,020 regional players. Those pumping out over 15,000 barrels 575 00:35:10,060 --> 00:35:14,540 a year were actually down just 3%. Which which suggests the smaller 576 00:35:14,580 --> 00:35:17,780 guys are doing all right. It's the big names dragging the 577 00:35:17,780 --> 00:35:20,620 averages. So some of those names are Yingling, 578 00:35:20,620 --> 00:35:22,340 which I did have in Florida. I was like. 579 00:35:22,580 --> 00:35:24,940 It's just whatever though. It's just whatever. 580 00:35:24,940 --> 00:35:27,860 But I saw it at a bar and I was like, you know what, I'm in Florida. 581 00:35:27,860 --> 00:35:31,260 I gotta have a Yuengling. I had it at the old time diner at 582 00:35:31,300 --> 00:35:36,260 fucking Hollywood Studios. Oh, yeah. It was just like, man, why do 583 00:35:36,260 --> 00:35:40,020 people talk so much about this? Yeah, but I had I had to do it. 584 00:35:40,060 --> 00:35:43,700 But I that that's why I had it. Because I had to do it. 585 00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:46,820 I had one in close to a decade, probably. 586 00:35:46,940 --> 00:35:49,780 Uh, Yuengling still sitting on the throne at number one, did see 587 00:35:49,820 --> 00:35:54,860 an 8% dip, which is over 230,000 fewer barrels than the year before. 588 00:35:55,060 --> 00:35:56,980 Boston Beer took the hardest hit of them all. 589 00:35:56,980 --> 00:36:01,220 They lost more than 320,000 barrels in volume. 590 00:36:01,220 --> 00:36:03,860 Which they claim they have the number one light beer in America. 591 00:36:03,860 --> 00:36:07,420 I don't know if you've ever seen the commercials. Which one is that? Uh. 592 00:36:07,780 --> 00:36:10,300 It's like Sam Adams light or something. 593 00:36:10,700 --> 00:36:15,510 Yeah, but it's got, like, a catchier name than Sam Adams Lite. 594 00:36:15,870 --> 00:36:18,950 Oh. Wish I could remember. I saw a commercial for it right 595 00:36:18,950 --> 00:36:21,550 before we did the show, but now I don't care about it. 596 00:36:21,550 --> 00:36:27,950 So is it. Is it Van Duzer lite? Attention, van. Duzer. 597 00:36:31,110 --> 00:36:35,870 Uh, but Sierra Nevada, on the other hand, is up 2% year over year. 598 00:36:35,870 --> 00:36:37,790 Not a huge jump, but at least they're not losing 599 00:36:37,790 --> 00:36:42,030 barrels like the other companies. Uh, Tilray dropped 13%, 600 00:36:42,030 --> 00:36:46,630 which is about 114,000 less barrels. Uh, Athletic Brewing 601 00:36:46,670 --> 00:36:50,670 unfortunately keeps growing. They're up 55%, 602 00:36:51,070 --> 00:36:55,630 adding over 140,000 barrels. 55%. Yeah. Stop drinking na beer. 603 00:36:55,670 --> 00:36:59,070 You guys, it's just wasted calories. By the way, the Sam Adams one is 604 00:36:59,070 --> 00:37:02,830 just called American Lite. Oh, yes, I've heard of that one. 605 00:37:02,870 --> 00:37:05,110 There we go. May have even had it at some point. 606 00:37:05,150 --> 00:37:08,390 So anyways, uh, there you have it. Nerdy numbers for you. 607 00:37:08,990 --> 00:37:14,360 Speaking of American, real American beer. Hulk Hogan's beer brand. 608 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:19,640 Trying to buy Hooters. Jesus is king about it. 609 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:25,040 Is there a better white trash match in heaven? It just makes sense. 610 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:31,200 Like if the shoe fits, right? Right. If the boot fits. Drop it. Damn it! 611 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,680 Uh, just weeks after Hooters of America filed for chapter 11 612 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,600 bankruptcy. Hooters of America. Hooters of America. 613 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,320 Apparently, that's the name. Uh, Hogan's Beer company. 614 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,880 Real American Beer is planning a bid for the Hooters name. 615 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,120 According to America. According to a report from 616 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,880 Business Insider, the bid would focus solely on acquiring the 617 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,840 brand's intellectual property, not the restaurants themselves. 618 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,720 If successful, the deal would give Real American beer the rights to 619 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,120 create Hooters branded products. Of America. 620 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,720 Of America, including beverages, food items and merchandise. 621 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,320 Those products would be distributed at Hooters restaurants, 622 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,880 retail stores, entertainment venues, and other locations nationwide. 623 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,850 A person familiar with the company's plans told Business Insider that 624 00:38:13,890 --> 00:38:19,170 Hooters has always been a big part of Hogan's life. I bet it has. Geez. 625 00:38:19,490 --> 00:38:23,010 Why? Cause he likes wings. Uh. Both Hogan and Hooters got their 626 00:38:23,010 --> 00:38:25,370 start in Clearwater, Florida, and Hogan still lives in the area. 627 00:38:25,410 --> 00:38:27,090 Of course, he's from Florida, by the way. 628 00:38:27,570 --> 00:38:31,650 The plan would involve licensing the Hooters name back to the restaurants, 629 00:38:31,650 --> 00:38:33,890 allowing them to continue operating independently, while the 630 00:38:33,890 --> 00:38:37,210 brand itself would be used more broadly for product distribution. 631 00:38:37,490 --> 00:38:41,690 The bid is expected to be an all cash offer, though the total 632 00:38:41,690 --> 00:38:44,930 amount has not been disclosed. While Hogan isn't looking to operate 633 00:38:44,930 --> 00:38:47,690 restaurants, he does have experience in the hospitality industry. 634 00:38:47,730 --> 00:38:51,330 He currently runs Hogan's Hangout, a bar near the beach in Clearwater, 635 00:38:51,330 --> 00:38:54,290 which I have heard of. I have not heard of this one though. 636 00:38:54,690 --> 00:39:00,490 In the 90s, he briefly opened a pasta themed restaurant called Pastamania 637 00:39:00,850 --> 00:39:05,010 in Minnesota. That's brilliant. I did not know this. 638 00:39:05,050 --> 00:39:10,130 I think that is brilliant. How did that not last? Right. 639 00:39:11,570 --> 00:39:14,330 Uh, at this point, the deal is still in flux and other buyers could 640 00:39:14,330 --> 00:39:16,610 emerge. But this moves forward. The partnership could give the 641 00:39:16,650 --> 00:39:19,650 Hooters brand a new lease on life, this time with a side of real 642 00:39:19,650 --> 00:39:23,250 American beer. So what was the place called? 643 00:39:23,850 --> 00:39:28,810 Pasta water? No. In Clearwater. Oh, uh, Hogan's. Hogan's hangout. 644 00:39:28,810 --> 00:39:35,210 So I my wife's cousin, coworker of mine, his girlfriend's 645 00:39:35,210 --> 00:39:40,050 grandfather, lives in Clearwater, and they go there, like, once a 646 00:39:40,050 --> 00:39:45,410 year to vacation and help him out. Um, and he sent me a picture. 647 00:39:45,410 --> 00:39:50,050 There's, like, Hulk Hogan statues all over the boardwalk, and he 648 00:39:50,090 --> 00:39:53,330 actually hosts a karaoke night. I don't know if I said this on 649 00:39:53,330 --> 00:39:56,650 the show before, but he hosts a karaoke night at his bar, 650 00:39:57,130 --> 00:40:05,210 and the champion of the karaoke night gets a belt. Oh, nice. 651 00:40:05,330 --> 00:40:08,900 And I think that's just kind of brilliant. That is pretty good. 652 00:40:09,380 --> 00:40:12,020 Uh, but, yeah, he's a big deal down there. Uh, yeah. 653 00:40:12,500 --> 00:40:15,460 They must like racist assholes down there. It is Florida after all. 654 00:40:15,500 --> 00:40:18,620 It makes sense. Yeah, I just googled Pastamania, 655 00:40:18,620 --> 00:40:22,700 and I found a picture of an old menu. One of the items on the menu is 656 00:40:22,700 --> 00:40:25,580 Hulk's Power pasta, which is penne pasta, chicken, 657 00:40:25,580 --> 00:40:29,460 veggies, and your choice of sauce. Sounds pretty powerful, brother. 658 00:40:29,500 --> 00:40:32,100 That's the only like. There's no pun on any of the 659 00:40:32,100 --> 00:40:33,980 pasta names. Well, that's what I was hoping for. 660 00:40:34,100 --> 00:40:38,260 I thought you were gonna give me something real good. Oh, except. 661 00:40:38,260 --> 00:40:42,860 Okay. This is good for the little. The kids menu is called for the 662 00:40:42,860 --> 00:40:49,100 little pasta maniacs. Damn it. They have Hulk shows, which must 663 00:40:49,100 --> 00:40:51,820 be like SpaghettiOs. SpaghettiOs? Yeah, yeah, this sounds awful. 664 00:40:51,820 --> 00:40:55,980 Cheeseburger pasta. And my favorite Hulk aroni and 665 00:40:55,980 --> 00:41:02,420 cheese. Damn it. That's so good. So dumb. 666 00:41:03,100 --> 00:41:08,030 Should have been like Hulk and Meatballs or something like that. 667 00:41:08,390 --> 00:41:16,550 You know, like. Pythons and pasta. Chicken, Hulk, Fredo, or just 668 00:41:16,950 --> 00:41:21,750 everything with Hulk in front of it. Yeah. Oh, that's Hulk lasagna. 669 00:41:22,070 --> 00:41:25,110 Uh, I don't know. I don't know how you top Hulk 670 00:41:25,150 --> 00:41:28,070 aroni and cheese, though. That's pretty good. Yeah. 671 00:41:28,110 --> 00:41:31,030 Oh, and here's a flyer from their grand opening where you got a free 672 00:41:31,030 --> 00:41:34,230 beverage with any purchase of pasta. Oh, this is so good. 673 00:41:34,270 --> 00:41:38,750 Ringside dishes. Pasta sauce. Salad. Good times. I'm gonna stop. 674 00:41:38,750 --> 00:41:43,030 I'm gonna close this page now, uh, here's here's a Florida 675 00:41:43,070 --> 00:41:46,510 story for you. Drunk driver urinates in a cop car 676 00:41:46,550 --> 00:41:49,870 after hitting a bystander with a vehicle outside of a strip club. 677 00:41:50,630 --> 00:41:55,750 I feel like the headline alone is enough. That is so on brand. 678 00:41:55,950 --> 00:41:59,630 I couldn't come up with a better headline myself. Um. 679 00:42:00,670 --> 00:42:03,950 A Lakeland man was arrested for hitting a vehicle and a bystander 680 00:42:03,950 --> 00:42:07,960 while fleeing from a deputy after drinking at a strip club, a deputy 681 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,640 spotted spotted a large crowd, later found to include 49 year old 682 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,640 Terrence Christopher Phillips. Come on, Terrance and Phillip in 683 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,360 the same name in the parking lot of club 27 cabaret. 684 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,000 The deputy pulled into the median of the highway and saw 685 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,920 multiple people who appeared to be in a verbal altercation. 686 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,680 At that point, he informed dispatch of the situation and approached 687 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,400 the crowd in his patrol vehicle with emergency lights on. 688 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,960 A female witness approached him and stated a man, later identified as 689 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,400 Phillips, struck her vehicle and was trying to leave the property. 690 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,640 The deputy observed Phillips in a black Toyota SUV trying to 691 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,280 flee the parking lot. He approached the passenger side 692 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:45,800 of the vehicle and tried to open the door. 693 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,080 As Phillips continued to drive away, Phillips put the vehicle in 694 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,000 reverse and forward, directing the vehicle toward a man 695 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:56,440 who was standing in the parking lot. Phillips then struck the man and 696 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,840 continued to flee. He drove behind the strip club and 697 00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,840 headed south on the grass towards the high grove. Grove. Excuse me. 698 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:05,920 Towards the High Grove Highgrove subdivision. 699 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:10,520 The deputy chased toward the vehicle as it continued to flee from him. 700 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,200 Phillips drove behind the establishment towards the deputy, 701 00:43:13,240 --> 00:43:15,800 who drew a firearm and told him to stop. He did not listen. 702 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,600 Instead making a right turn onto US highway 27 and heading 703 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:21,640 towards Polk County. The deputy gave dispatch a 704 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,800 description of the vehicle, which had multiple stickers on the back and 705 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,600 possibly purple headlights in the front. What do you mean possibly? 706 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:31,200 Were they purple or were they not purple? Geez. 707 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,600 As the deputy returned to the incident location, 708 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,240 he saw Phillips vehicle passing the establishment again, 709 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:41,480 heading towards the US highway 27. He notified other responding 710 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,560 deputies who found the vehicle and administered a felony stop 711 00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,360 at a Wendy's. They then detained Phillips, 712 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,440 according to the report. The first deputy subsequently 713 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,600 met with the man who was struck by Phillips. 714 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,560 He had abrasions on his nose and face and his thumb bled profusely. 715 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,080 Come on. The Lake County Fire Department 716 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,560 and Lake County EMS responded to that scene to treat his injuries. 717 00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,970 Took him to the celebration hospital. The deputy moved on to speak 718 00:44:06,970 --> 00:44:09,090 with a male witness, who advised that his girlfriend, 719 00:44:09,130 --> 00:44:11,250 the female witness, told him Phillips struck her vehicle while 720 00:44:11,250 --> 00:44:14,250 trying to leave the parking lot. He intervened by taking Phillips 721 00:44:14,290 --> 00:44:17,330 keys, preventing him from leaving. He gave them back. 722 00:44:17,370 --> 00:44:21,890 Per the establishment manager's request, the strip club was like, 723 00:44:21,890 --> 00:44:25,250 give him back his fucking keys. Phillips became hostile and used 724 00:44:25,250 --> 00:44:28,450 arbitrary racial language towards the male witness and 725 00:44:28,450 --> 00:44:31,290 other people in the parking lot. He got into his vehicle and 726 00:44:31,290 --> 00:44:33,730 tried to leave while the deputy demanded he step out. 727 00:44:33,850 --> 00:44:37,530 The male witness saw him drive forward, hitting the victim and 728 00:44:37,530 --> 00:44:40,170 then leaving the scene. Phillips was then arrested. 729 00:44:40,170 --> 00:44:43,290 While in route, he used derogatory and racial language towards 730 00:44:43,330 --> 00:44:47,770 African Americans, Mexicans and Puerto Ricans. Oh why not? 731 00:44:48,050 --> 00:44:51,450 He also maneuvered his hands to the front and took out his penis to 732 00:44:51,490 --> 00:44:55,850 urinate on the floor of the deputy's patrol vehicle. That does that. 733 00:44:56,130 --> 00:44:58,890 Maybe should have cuffed him a little better. Yeah, yeah. 734 00:44:59,290 --> 00:45:03,660 Uh, real winners out there. Yeah. He later gave two breath samples 735 00:45:03,700 --> 00:45:11,860 of surprisingly low. Like one for. Not that low 0.178. Okay. 736 00:45:12,820 --> 00:45:15,140 That's that's just a little over double. That's. 737 00:45:15,780 --> 00:45:17,700 He's whipping out his dick in a cop car. 738 00:45:18,500 --> 00:45:21,740 The New York native was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly 739 00:45:21,740 --> 00:45:26,780 weapon without intent to kill, resisting arrest without violence 740 00:45:27,020 --> 00:45:36,100 and DUI.

A lot of stories. 744 00:45:48,700 --> 00:45:53,660 Never once when I was ever as drunk as I've ever been, 745 00:45:53,820 --> 00:45:58,740 have I ever thought to do any of these things right. 746 00:45:59,220 --> 00:46:02,310 Maybe people are just crazy, I don't know. Yeah. 747 00:46:02,350 --> 00:46:05,310 I mean, look, I've gotten drunk and I've fallen off a balcony. 748 00:46:06,470 --> 00:46:10,430 I have. What else have I done?
