1 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:07,320 Today we've got beer, Cologne. The hunt for PBR will cover all day 2 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,800 and 16 ways to please your lager. Let's go. 3 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:21,480 Bam bam bam bam bam bam bam. Welcome in everybody. 4 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:28,120 It's the craft beer Republic. I am flex and joining me as always is 5 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,080 Greg. Greg, how are we doing today? Dude, I'm fucking jazzed up. 6 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,840 I'm digging the intro still. I'm telling you, this fucking music. 7 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,800 I brought it up at the end of last show. Yeah. 8 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,680 Can I get enough of this god dang song? 9 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,440 I mean, it's been over six months. Well, over six months. Nine months. 10 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,800 And at this point with the last intro, we were still very skeptical. 11 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:54,000 And I'm pretty sure you would ask me before every show if the 12 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,720 song was still okay. Yeah. And, uh, Ford trucks. 13 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,980 Yeah, we'd get it. Yeah. compared to Ford commercials, 14 00:01:01,980 --> 00:01:06,220 truck commercials. And. This one, it's very jazzy, 15 00:01:06,260 --> 00:01:10,900 it's very upbeat, and we dig it. What else we dig is our top 16 00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:14,620 listening city from last week. Yeah we. Do. Council bluffs, Iowa. 17 00:01:15,140 --> 00:01:19,580 It's a weird one. Yeah. Hello, Iowa. Hi. Yeah. 18 00:01:19,820 --> 00:01:21,820 I don't even know what Iowa's known for. 19 00:01:22,180 --> 00:01:25,380 Its the head and the soldier of the United States. 20 00:01:25,420 --> 00:01:33,260 Okay, um, you know, it goes up and down. They have cornfields and. 21 00:01:33,540 --> 00:01:38,500 All right. I said this on one show. The world's largest truck stop. 22 00:01:38,820 --> 00:01:40,980 Oh, that's in Iowa. I was thinking Indiana. 23 00:01:41,020 --> 00:01:46,740 I believe that was Iowa. Okay. So take that. Iowa. Yeah. 24 00:01:47,620 --> 00:01:52,260 Um, well, thank you again, everybody. If you if you are still listening, I 25 00:01:52,260 --> 00:01:55,980 think you got a beer. I think I. Do. Why don't you tell us about it, 26 00:01:55,980 --> 00:01:57,180 please? And thank you. 27 00:02:05,070 --> 00:02:13,270 Out of, my dear. Out of my head. I love, my dear. 28 00:02:13,510 --> 00:02:15,230 I tell you, that song sounds so much better 29 00:02:15,230 --> 00:02:18,270 on these really nice headphones that I have at my home studio. 30 00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:22,390 This is two weeks in a row I've been at my hotel studio. Yeah. 31 00:02:22,390 --> 00:02:27,910 That's right. Still loving it. Uh, I am drinking Smog City 32 00:02:27,910 --> 00:02:34,830 Brewing's what? Strike? What? Like electricity? See? 6.3%. 33 00:02:35,150 --> 00:02:39,030 Uh, 3.82 with 1100 ratings. Yeah, it's pretty cool. 34 00:02:39,030 --> 00:02:41,630 Cannot it's got the little plug in the hop and everything. 35 00:02:41,630 --> 00:02:45,390 I like it red. It's very bright. Uh, on the back of the can, 36 00:02:45,430 --> 00:02:48,950 it says a full charge of citrus hits immediately led by bright 37 00:02:48,950 --> 00:02:54,870 grapefruit and carried by lush mango. The fruit comes on bold and juicy, 38 00:02:54,910 --> 00:02:57,950 then settles into a gentle, piney undertone that adds 39 00:02:57,950 --> 00:03:02,450 structure and balance. Everything stays smooth and rounded, 40 00:03:02,610 --> 00:03:06,970 letting the aromatics shine without sharp edges. 41 00:03:07,170 --> 00:03:12,410 Clean, powerful and precisely tuned, this one lands with authority. 42 00:03:13,530 --> 00:03:15,210 The wife got this for me. She saw it. She goes. 43 00:03:15,210 --> 00:03:17,930 I don't think you've had this one before. What a nice wife. Yeah. 44 00:03:17,970 --> 00:03:23,050 She's great. Got it. The old TJ's. So thank you on the nose buds. 45 00:03:23,810 --> 00:03:27,610 My wife just buys me macaroons. It's nothing wrong with that. 46 00:03:29,370 --> 00:03:32,650 I'll take it. I get a lot of citrus on the nose, 47 00:03:32,650 --> 00:03:37,250 like some grapefruit notes. Um, I'm not getting necessarily 48 00:03:37,250 --> 00:03:39,450 all the pineapple and tropical shit they mentioned, 49 00:03:39,450 --> 00:03:42,450 but definitely a lot of grapefruit, little orange in there. 50 00:03:44,010 --> 00:03:45,850 And look at that color. Gorgeous light. 51 00:03:45,890 --> 00:03:49,450 It does look wonderful. Very straw like, very pale. 52 00:03:49,810 --> 00:03:53,290 There goes the, uh, the tongue jobber. Okay. 53 00:03:54,050 --> 00:03:57,730 Um, I've been critical of Smog City. Not always my favorite. 54 00:03:57,730 --> 00:04:01,980 This is pretty fucking enjoyable. One more. One more step. 55 00:04:02,820 --> 00:04:05,860 The tropical is coming through in the flavor much more than it did 56 00:04:05,860 --> 00:04:10,220 in the nose. Uh. Mango. Lychee. I don't know, definitely pineapple. 57 00:04:10,220 --> 00:04:12,740 Definitely grapefruit. Uh, not super bitter. 58 00:04:12,740 --> 00:04:17,460 Pretty, uh, pretty dry on the finish, but I wouldn't say like super dank or 59 00:04:17,460 --> 00:04:20,660 anything like that in a nice way. Uh, it's a light haziness. 60 00:04:20,700 --> 00:04:26,780 It's not like a super murky, pure type of hazy, uh, real easy to drink. 61 00:04:26,780 --> 00:04:30,780 6.3%. Yeah, it feels about right. Uh, a 3.82. 62 00:04:31,220 --> 00:04:34,260 I'd bump it up maybe a little like a 3.95 area. 63 00:04:34,660 --> 00:04:38,100 Uh, I feel like because it's not the haziest in appearance. 64 00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:39,780 I mean, it's still hazy. I can't see through it. Yeah. 65 00:04:39,780 --> 00:04:43,300 You can't see through it at all. But it's it's not as murky as a pure. 66 00:04:43,300 --> 00:04:45,620 I feel like that probably knocked it down a peg or two. 67 00:04:46,020 --> 00:04:48,340 Uh, overall pretty good. She picked me up one. 68 00:04:48,340 --> 00:04:50,140 I wouldn't be mad if she picked up a four pack. 69 00:04:50,180 --> 00:04:54,060 This is really easy to drink and real nice on the on the tongue jobber. 70 00:04:54,260 --> 00:04:56,060 Two weeks in a row for you. I love that. 71 00:04:56,100 --> 00:05:00,040 I know this is a good It's after some real shit beers in that hotel. 72 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,560 This has been nice. Well, let's be real. 73 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,480 I don't know, do we bring it up? How? You actually asked ChatGPT about 74 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,240 local bottle shops? I don't know if we talked about it, 75 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,120 but yeah. We talked about that on the show. 76 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,200 But the fact that you did that, I don't think AI really knows 77 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,960 what what they're looking for. I tell you what it does not. 78 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,280 What I did was I said, here's where my work is and 79 00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:27,440 here's the hotel I'm staying at. Are there any bottle shops relatively 80 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,160 along the way from work to the hotel? And it was like, yeah, 81 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:36,040 here's this and this. And what I think it does is it 82 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:41,080 like scrapes the info from Google. And so if someone in the review says 83 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,840 like good craft beer selection, it goes boom, craft beer. Oh, okay. 84 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,440 And it doesn't maybe read more reviews or kind of put them together. 85 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,800 And so at least twice. It really sent me on some, 86 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,980 some bullshit. Yeah, twice. And then another time I finally 87 00:05:59,980 --> 00:06:02,140 brought some beers down with me because I was tired of it. 88 00:06:02,140 --> 00:06:05,380 But one time it took me to a really bad neighborhood. 89 00:06:05,660 --> 00:06:08,580 I remember that. Yeah. I was like, is my car okay here? 90 00:06:08,860 --> 00:06:13,860 AM I okay? It was a little dicey. I made it out. Spoiler alert. 91 00:06:13,900 --> 00:06:18,820 Keep your life alert on. Yeah, I've fallen and I can't get up. 92 00:06:20,580 --> 00:06:24,020 Also, good for ChatGPT. Sends you to shady bottle shops. 93 00:06:24,060 --> 00:06:25,700 Right? Yeah. Apparently that wasn't in a 94 00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:28,700 Google review that you might get stabbed on your way in the door. 95 00:06:29,380 --> 00:06:32,540 So I made it though. I made it. But yeah, it was something. 96 00:06:32,540 --> 00:06:36,340 It was fun, I guess. Sure, sure for sure. All right. 97 00:06:36,540 --> 00:06:39,820 Well, hey, glad to hear you had another great beer. Yes. 98 00:06:39,820 --> 00:06:43,260 Thank you. And, uh. Hey, guys, I did forget to mention. 99 00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:46,540 Make sure you're following us, uh, at Craft Beer Republic on socials. 100 00:06:46,540 --> 00:06:50,700 And send us mail. mail@craftbeer.com. Please. And thank you. 101 00:06:50,860 --> 00:06:56,620 So we always talk about what we can do to make beer fun again. 102 00:06:56,910 --> 00:06:59,390 Yeah. Right. We think that's kind of what's 103 00:06:59,430 --> 00:07:04,430 what's going down with craft beer. And, uh, we, we've talked about, 104 00:07:05,030 --> 00:07:09,310 you know, countless times, uh, different ways to make it a 105 00:07:09,310 --> 00:07:14,030 little bit more appealing. Yeah. Is that the word? Yeah. 106 00:07:14,070 --> 00:07:16,590 Or just, I mean, I feel like we've tried to come up with ways, 107 00:07:16,630 --> 00:07:19,990 like, what is craft beer missing that it had in the late teens 108 00:07:19,990 --> 00:07:24,110 that it doesn't seem to have now? Because I feel like beer was so much 109 00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:32,270 more fun and it's less and someone or couple actually really helped me 110 00:07:32,310 --> 00:07:35,910 put my thumb on it a little bit. Um, Deb and Brian, 111 00:07:36,070 --> 00:07:40,230 interim Brian, excuse me, went to a place in Santa Barbara 112 00:07:40,710 --> 00:07:45,590 called Captain Fatty's a Brewery. I was there a million years ago and 113 00:07:45,590 --> 00:07:50,070 enjoyed myself. Met the brewers. Uh, I can't remember the brewer, 114 00:07:50,070 --> 00:07:51,910 the owner that I met. I met someone that was, 115 00:07:51,950 --> 00:07:55,390 you know, part of the brewery, and he hooked me up with some beer. 116 00:07:55,430 --> 00:07:57,890 A friend of a friend sort of told him about the show and was like, 117 00:07:57,890 --> 00:07:59,490 oh, here, try all these things. What do you think? 118 00:07:59,530 --> 00:08:02,450 And had a great time. Haven't been there in years for 119 00:08:02,490 --> 00:08:04,810 no particular reason. Anyways, they were in Santa Barbara. 120 00:08:04,810 --> 00:08:07,810 They went and when they came back they said they had such a great time. 121 00:08:07,810 --> 00:08:10,450 And I was like, why? What was so great about it? 122 00:08:10,450 --> 00:08:14,250 And they're like, well, you know, we sat there and we started chatting 123 00:08:14,250 --> 00:08:18,690 up the brewer, super nice guy. And then he goes, do you want to 124 00:08:18,690 --> 00:08:22,170 try some, some weird stuff? And Brian was like, yeah, sure. 125 00:08:22,210 --> 00:08:23,850 Let's, let's try some weird stuff. And he goes, well, 126 00:08:23,850 --> 00:08:25,970 this is what I really like. And he starts like conveying beers. 127 00:08:25,970 --> 00:08:27,610 He's like, I like a little bit of this one 128 00:08:27,610 --> 00:08:29,970 and a half a bar of this one. And he put him in blah, blah, blah. 129 00:08:30,450 --> 00:08:33,210 And like, they're just doing fun shit. Like who? 130 00:08:33,210 --> 00:08:36,970 Van beers for people and hanging out and talking and telling them 131 00:08:36,970 --> 00:08:38,010 about the beers. I'm like, 132 00:08:38,010 --> 00:08:41,250 that's the kind of shit we need. Go, hey, this beer is good and 133 00:08:41,250 --> 00:08:42,650 this beer is good. But you know, it's really good 134 00:08:42,650 --> 00:08:47,610 when I mix them together like, that's cool. What a fun aspect. 135 00:08:47,850 --> 00:08:49,170 Yeah, I just thought that was really fun. 136 00:08:49,210 --> 00:08:52,290 I was like, that's the kind of fun we need in craft beer again. 137 00:08:52,690 --> 00:08:56,420 Like I, I so many times we've talked about it, like, can't put 138 00:08:56,420 --> 00:08:59,580 our thumb on it other than like make good beer. But that's not fun. 139 00:08:59,580 --> 00:09:02,420 That's just good beer, right? It's just what they do. Right? 140 00:09:02,420 --> 00:09:05,300 Exactly. It's like, oh, what's fun? Okay, you have live music. Great. 141 00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:06,900 Everyone has live music, nothing special. 142 00:09:06,940 --> 00:09:08,980 Or you have trivia or you have bingo, like whatever it is, 143 00:09:08,980 --> 00:09:11,820 all the breweries are doing the same shit. What's fun? 144 00:09:11,820 --> 00:09:15,780 Oh, the brewer coming out unexpectedly telling you about his 145 00:09:15,780 --> 00:09:20,500 beers and also going, hey, try this, try that. Yeah, this is fucking cool. 146 00:09:20,540 --> 00:09:22,580 Try this one. Do you have any mixers you want 147 00:09:22,620 --> 00:09:24,020 to try? And they're like mixing all 148 00:09:24,020 --> 00:09:27,020 kinds of weird shit. I was like, that's fucking fun. 149 00:09:27,060 --> 00:09:29,300 That's the kind of shit we're missing. Yes. 150 00:09:30,100 --> 00:09:34,620 So do you think at some breweries? I feel like a lot of brewers are, 151 00:09:34,780 --> 00:09:40,260 uh, pretty introverted. Yeah. Um, I, I, yeah, I agree, 152 00:09:40,300 --> 00:09:43,900 I've sensed that as my time and meeting brewers. Mhm. 153 00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:47,980 So I feel like that's something they're not interested in doing is 154 00:09:47,980 --> 00:09:52,700 coming out and being publicly viewed and social as it's like a whole 155 00:09:52,700 --> 00:09:57,160 comfort thing. Sure. Um. Or. Or. Do you think it's that they kind 156 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,480 of feel they're too big for their britches to look? 157 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,920 There are definitely those. Hang with the peons kind of. 158 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,520 Thing. Yeah. I think there's no shortage of people 159 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:12,120 who are too big for the peasants. But I, I don't think that's the 160 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,200 main problem. I think a lot of brewers are 161 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,560 introverts. You know, I've met a ton. We've had a bunch on the show. 162 00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:21,160 Every time I interview a brewer, it's like, oh, I never do these. 163 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,040 It's like, yeah, I know, but we'll be all right. Drink some beer. 164 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,200 We're just hanging out. Don't worry about the microphone. 165 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,320 And, you know, a couple beers in there, they're fine. 166 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,600 So yeah, I think it's an introvert issue. 167 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,960 And at some point you kind of have to get over it and maybe you can't. 168 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,480 And that's when you have an owner or a bar manager who is outgoing and 169 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,640 fun and can do this kind of shit. Just, uh, be with the people, 170 00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:46,960 kind of. Be with the people, have fun with 171 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,640 the people, make beer fun again. I feel like that. 172 00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:53,200 Yeah, that draws even more people out. Yeah. 173 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,860 They hear from their friends like, oh, hey, you know, 174 00:10:55,900 --> 00:10:59,980 so and so was was out behind the bar and they were handing out this. 175 00:10:59,980 --> 00:11:04,420 And, you know, how does how much of a blast does that sound like? Right? 176 00:11:04,420 --> 00:11:07,180 And look, I mean, all the time we'll be with people who aren't 177 00:11:07,220 --> 00:11:10,140 necessarily beer people and like, oh, this one sounds good. 178 00:11:10,140 --> 00:11:12,740 That one sounds good. But I'm afraid, you know, like it. 179 00:11:13,180 --> 00:11:15,100 And you know how many times I tell people like, oh, 180 00:11:15,140 --> 00:11:19,580 go ask for just a splash? Yeah. Hey, do you do samples here? Yeah. 181 00:11:19,580 --> 00:11:22,580 And, and I don't mean a sample like a taster. Pour like a two ounce pour. 182 00:11:22,620 --> 00:11:25,260 I mean a splash, like just a enough to try it and 183 00:11:25,260 --> 00:11:28,260 make sure you don't hate it. And almost every single brewery, 184 00:11:28,260 --> 00:11:32,300 as long as you don't abuse the system will give you a splash. Maybe two. 185 00:11:32,780 --> 00:11:36,980 And I think breweries and beer tenders and bar managers should 186 00:11:36,980 --> 00:11:40,900 be more forthcoming with that. If they see some guy looking at the 187 00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:44,340 board or some chick talking to her friend, like, I don't know if I'm 188 00:11:44,340 --> 00:11:46,140 gonna like, you know, whatever, why don't you go like, hey, 189 00:11:46,140 --> 00:11:50,140 let me give you a splash, right? Like instead of saying like, hey, you 190 00:11:50,140 --> 00:11:51,780 know, are you ready for something? Like, hey, 191 00:11:52,180 --> 00:11:55,790 you want to try something? Right? I hear you, I hear you talking about 192 00:11:55,790 --> 00:11:59,230 this Berliner. You've never had one. Let me give you a little splash. 193 00:11:59,270 --> 00:12:02,270 Right. Lead with that. Like, hey, willing to try anything 194 00:12:02,270 --> 00:12:04,750 before you want to order it? Yeah, exactly. 195 00:12:04,750 --> 00:12:08,470 I'm not saying give away the the cow. Well, knowing a little splash 196 00:12:08,470 --> 00:12:11,470 here and a splash there, you're not losing much. Just a slider. 197 00:12:11,830 --> 00:12:14,070 I think that's missing. You know, 198 00:12:14,110 --> 00:12:18,470 I feel like this this really got the brain going back in the day. 199 00:12:18,470 --> 00:12:22,310 You'd hear things like people not knowing what they wanted to order. 200 00:12:22,310 --> 00:12:26,230 And I feel like back in the day when beer craft beer wasn't where it 201 00:12:26,230 --> 00:12:30,510 is now, there was an expectation that people didn't didn't know. 202 00:12:30,870 --> 00:12:33,590 And now there's this weird expectation that everyone knows. 203 00:12:33,750 --> 00:12:36,310 Sure. And you used to hear a lot of like, 204 00:12:36,670 --> 00:12:40,030 well, what do you drink when you're at home or what, what kind of beer, 205 00:12:40,070 --> 00:12:42,670 you know, do you normally drink? You know, what's a brand new? 206 00:12:42,870 --> 00:12:47,230 And even if it was Budweiser, you know, whatever, if you said 207 00:12:47,230 --> 00:12:50,990 something, they go, well, the closest thing we got is this. Sure. 208 00:12:51,070 --> 00:12:53,930 You want to try it? Let's try it. What do you normally drink at home? 209 00:12:53,970 --> 00:12:57,050 I normally drink white wine. We have the sour over here. 210 00:12:57,570 --> 00:13:01,370 You know, it's not very sour. It's got some white wine vibes to it. 211 00:13:01,410 --> 00:13:04,530 Let me give you a little splash. That's the kind of shit that's 212 00:13:04,530 --> 00:13:09,290 missing. Bring people in. Yeah. Enlighten them. Yeah. 213 00:13:09,330 --> 00:13:12,730 Get off your goddamn high horse! Yeah. High horse. Yeah. 214 00:13:12,770 --> 00:13:15,250 Speaking of high horses, can I tell you a story I forgot 215 00:13:15,250 --> 00:13:18,490 to tell last week? Please do. Last week I had the. 216 00:13:21,010 --> 00:13:24,930 Medicine from Imigran. I bought it at Trader Joe's. 217 00:13:25,370 --> 00:13:30,370 And as I was checking out, the guy goes, oh, Aaron, I love 218 00:13:30,370 --> 00:13:35,850 that place. And I was like, aha! And then tried to brag about 219 00:13:35,890 --> 00:13:38,610 Imigran Hajji. By the way, and was like, yeah, 220 00:13:38,610 --> 00:13:40,770 there, there. Oktoberfest is coming up. 221 00:13:40,810 --> 00:13:43,130 I was like, oh yeah, it is. That's right. Yeah, yeah. 222 00:13:43,170 --> 00:13:45,930 And he goes, yeah, I'm gonna go. I said, oh good. You guys go. 223 00:13:45,970 --> 00:13:47,690 I was like, I think we're out of town that weekend. 224 00:13:47,690 --> 00:13:49,650 But you know, for around, we'll go for sure. 225 00:13:49,690 --> 00:13:51,850 And you know, it's always a good party, that kind of thing. 226 00:13:51,890 --> 00:13:56,580 He goes, yeah, well all I have to go. I'm part German and I drink for free. 227 00:13:57,140 --> 00:13:58,420 Huh? I was like, okay, 228 00:13:58,460 --> 00:14:04,340 I'm waiting for dot, dot, dot. My friend works there. Sure. 229 00:14:04,380 --> 00:14:08,180 Or my brother or, you know, like, whatever. Nope. 230 00:14:08,180 --> 00:14:13,780 That was the end. The end was. And I drink for free at Inna drin and 231 00:14:13,780 --> 00:14:16,500 I was like, this motherfucker hasn't drank for free enough there because 232 00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:18,340 he can't even say the name, right? He can't even say the name, 233 00:14:18,340 --> 00:14:20,660 right? Yeah. It was just a weird, 234 00:14:20,900 --> 00:14:24,500 weird interaction. And not to be a snobby beer person, 235 00:14:24,500 --> 00:14:26,620 like we just made fun of for the last three minutes. 236 00:14:26,620 --> 00:14:29,700 But, uh, you know, it's in a grin. And if you're drinking there for 237 00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:34,180 free so often, it's a hard G. Maybe he was searching for a friend, 238 00:14:34,980 --> 00:14:37,100 you know? And maybe. That was my chance to go. 239 00:14:37,340 --> 00:14:40,180 To drink for free. And then for you to be like, oh, 240 00:14:40,220 --> 00:14:46,340 hey, however do you do that, sir? Yeah. Tell me more. Please. 241 00:14:46,340 --> 00:14:49,300 Who do you know? Yeah. You ruined his day. 242 00:14:49,340 --> 00:14:53,480 I know, God damn it. I'm that prick Brewer who won't 243 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,640 make beer fun again. Okay. Yeah. Okay. It's because I'm introverted. 244 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:03,320 Yeah. The most introverted. I mean, in public. Yeah. 245 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,600 Pretty introverted is not wanting to talk to people the 246 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,160 same as being introverted. I don't think, like, hating people. 247 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,080 Yeah. Just, you know. Look, I. I appreciate that you're nice, 248 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,200 but just, you know, bring up my food and we can get out of here. 249 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,680 Yeah. I don't know. I feel like that's a thin line. 250 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:28,480 Okay. I got something to drink. Go drink it. Sorry. Anyways. 251 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,760 All right. Uh, looks like my favorite segment. 252 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,440 Uh. Oh. Of our shows, the aforementioned. 253 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:44,760 All flavors. Weird smell. Bad taste. Poop. Poop. Irrigate. It continues. 254 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,320 I'm gonna run this thing into the fucking ground. That's right. 255 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:54,580 Ride it hard. Put it away. Wet. So we have, uh, what I assume is 256 00:15:54,580 --> 00:15:58,340 a listener here and they say, hey, Greg and Flex, 257 00:15:58,820 --> 00:16:02,780 I think I have one that compete that can compete with poop beer. 258 00:16:03,860 --> 00:16:06,460 A few years ago, my buddy ordered a beer at a brewery, 259 00:16:06,740 --> 00:16:10,500 took one sip, handed it to me without saying anything. 260 00:16:10,980 --> 00:16:15,580 I tried it and immediately said, why does this taste like hot dog water? 261 00:16:16,940 --> 00:16:22,300 He starts laughing. Starfish. Right? He starts laughing because apparently 262 00:16:22,300 --> 00:16:26,980 that was exactly what he thought too. So now we're passing this beer 263 00:16:26,980 --> 00:16:30,060 around the table. Four grown men, all taking little 264 00:16:30,060 --> 00:16:34,860 sips, trying to figure out if we're crazy. Nope. Hot dog water. 265 00:16:35,420 --> 00:16:38,460 Not a hot dog, not mustard or anything that 266 00:16:38,460 --> 00:16:43,100 might actually be interesting. The water after you've boiled the 267 00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:47,540 hot dogs, nobody finished it. The worst part is I've thought 268 00:16:47,540 --> 00:16:50,100 about that beer more than beers I've actually loved. 269 00:16:50,430 --> 00:16:54,830 Anyway, if you guys ever do a Mount Rushmore of terrible beer, I nominate 270 00:16:54,870 --> 00:16:59,870 hot dog water. Cheers from Matt. Uh, thank you, Matt. 271 00:16:59,910 --> 00:17:02,510 Thank you indeed. Oh, his untapped link. 272 00:17:03,190 --> 00:17:05,750 The untapped link. Yeah. By the way, Matt sent us the 273 00:17:05,750 --> 00:17:09,990 link to the beer he drank. It's, uh, should I say the name of 274 00:17:09,990 --> 00:17:13,910 the brewery? I got it open here. I'm trying to sign in right now. 275 00:17:13,950 --> 00:17:17,430 Oh, it's all right. Fine. It's called owl Stone ale. 276 00:17:17,470 --> 00:17:23,150 That was the beer name. It's an American wheat made with 277 00:17:23,150 --> 00:17:27,510 farm grown cascade hops. Why would that taste like hot dog? 278 00:17:28,550 --> 00:17:32,790 Not everybody thought that, apparently because it has a I mean, 279 00:17:32,790 --> 00:17:44,310 just perfect. 316 untapped. Okay. Um, a lot of dicey reviews seemingly. 280 00:17:44,310 --> 00:17:46,990 So there are two reviews that mention hot dog. 281 00:17:47,630 --> 00:17:54,450 Aside from 316 being a cool number. Yeah. Not a great average on Untappd. 282 00:17:54,490 --> 00:17:58,610 No, no. Someone gave this a 3.5 and their 283 00:17:58,610 --> 00:18:03,250 only comment was little bitterness. It's a fucking wheat. 284 00:18:04,010 --> 00:18:06,090 There should only be a little bitterness. 285 00:18:06,130 --> 00:18:08,930 There should be hardly any bitterness. Yeah. 286 00:18:09,130 --> 00:18:12,850 Um, most people did not say things about it, just rated it. 287 00:18:13,410 --> 00:18:19,170 I hate that. Yeah. This person added blackberry syrup to 288 00:18:19,170 --> 00:18:24,570 it, and now it's on point. What? I didn't know that was an option. 289 00:18:24,610 --> 00:18:27,210 What? Have you ever had a beer? And you're like, you know what 290 00:18:27,210 --> 00:18:32,210 would make this better? Yeah. Uh, someone gave this a two stars 291 00:18:32,250 --> 00:18:36,810 said doesn't smell appetizing. My my companions commented on this 292 00:18:36,850 --> 00:18:41,250 one. Refused to even try a sip. Not much character than a soapy 293 00:18:41,250 --> 00:18:44,210 tasting finish. It's rare for us not to finish a 294 00:18:44,250 --> 00:18:49,090 taster, but no one wants to. A taster. Taster? Okay. Yeah. 295 00:18:49,210 --> 00:18:53,700 It probably means it's pretty bad. Probably. So anyways. 296 00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:59,660 Thanks, Matt. Yeah. Cheers, Matt. Please, everybody help us keep poop. 297 00:18:59,700 --> 00:19:03,940 Beergate going because I love it. I love hearing about bad beers. 298 00:19:04,460 --> 00:19:08,140 All flavors. We smell bad taste, poop, beer. 299 00:19:08,740 --> 00:19:12,540 And more. So I love that. I love having an excuse to play 300 00:19:12,540 --> 00:19:16,100 that song. So good. Speaking of an excuse to play a song. 301 00:19:16,380 --> 00:19:22,020 Oh uh. No excuse needed. In a world where craft beer is king. 302 00:19:22,700 --> 00:19:25,620 A world where muscles are bigger than growlers. 303 00:19:26,140 --> 00:19:32,860 Only one tongue can guide us. One man, one tongue, one tongue. 304 00:19:32,860 --> 00:19:37,060 Jabber. In this world we must find out 305 00:19:37,300 --> 00:19:45,580 what is flax drinking. Oh well well, well. That good, huh? 306 00:19:45,620 --> 00:19:48,700 Wouldn't you like to know? Well, that's why we're here. 307 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:54,400 So this is a trade beer with a guy at work. 308 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,560 He had stopped on lunch to pick up some beverages for a fantasy 309 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,240 football draft, and I had seen the beer he got, 310 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:07,600 and I brought in, uh, one of mine when I went on lunch because I 311 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,800 was very intrigued by it. Okay. And it's Youngblood Beer company. 312 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,640 Oh, you've had them multiple times. Big big fan. Big fan. 313 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,200 I've had them multiple times, as you just said. 314 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,680 And they always do wonderful, wonderful beers. 315 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,320 And I'm telling you, I'm going to show you right now. Mhm. 316 00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:31,360 This is what got me intrigued is just it is a red pickup truck. 317 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:37,360 They always have sweet cannot. Right. And the beer is called Ford fucking 318 00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:43,720 Ranger. It's a. Seven. Yes. It's got all like, the asterisks 319 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:48,200 and ampersands and whatever. But yeah, it's called Ford Ranger, 320 00:20:48,820 --> 00:20:53,780 Idaho seven uh West Coast IPA dry hopped with Comet and Idaho, 321 00:20:53,780 --> 00:20:59,900 seven 6.5% ABV. The can reads much like a Ford 322 00:20:59,900 --> 00:21:02,060 Ranger. The West Coast IPA is a true 323 00:21:02,060 --> 00:21:05,700 American classic. A little two seater with a heater 324 00:21:06,100 --> 00:21:09,540 comet is seated at the wheel, and Idaho seven is along for the 325 00:21:09,540 --> 00:21:12,140 ride this time. Whether you are taking care of 326 00:21:12,140 --> 00:21:16,900 business or just trying to get into a little bit of trouble, Ford Ranger 327 00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:25,060 is what you need. Nice, I dig it. So I poured this beer out. 328 00:21:25,620 --> 00:21:28,260 Looks a little dicey. And I thought, what the fuck? 329 00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:31,740 Because we do. I mean, we do poop. Beer gate. 330 00:21:31,780 --> 00:21:34,580 This looks like poop water. A little bit. 331 00:21:35,020 --> 00:21:38,700 The color is not appetizing. It looks absolutely awful. 332 00:21:39,460 --> 00:21:45,020 I did smell it. It it smells okay. It does. It smells like beer. 333 00:21:45,620 --> 00:21:48,630 I'm not exactly certain what I'm picking up, 334 00:21:49,510 --> 00:21:54,430 but I can tell you it's beer. It's got some real sewer water vibes. 335 00:21:54,470 --> 00:21:57,550 Yeah, it's it's just. It's like diarrhea water. Yeah. 336 00:21:57,590 --> 00:22:02,030 It's not if you water down diarrhea, that's what it looks like is in 337 00:22:02,070 --> 00:22:07,790 my glass. You're not wrong. And I know it's really gross. Yeah. 338 00:22:07,830 --> 00:22:12,630 And I know we've talked about this before, too. Maybe it's a bad can. 339 00:22:13,190 --> 00:22:18,190 You've had one bad can in four packs and yeah, you know, unfortunately 340 00:22:18,190 --> 00:22:25,230 this is my only can. So no science. Yeah. The the nose buds here. 341 00:22:25,670 --> 00:22:28,430 I don't know, it's like it's like a little blueberry. 342 00:22:29,790 --> 00:22:33,990 Um, it's an IPA, right? Yeah. It's it's sweeter. Blueberry. Okay. 343 00:22:34,550 --> 00:22:37,870 Yeah. That's actually what it is. It's straight up fucking blueberry. 344 00:22:38,510 --> 00:22:44,070 And, uh, there's just no citrus. There's no pine. It's a west coast. 345 00:22:45,110 --> 00:22:49,450 Let's dabble into the old tongue jobber and hopefully I don't 346 00:22:49,450 --> 00:22:53,250 throw up. And here goes nothing. Here's to hoping. 347 00:22:53,610 --> 00:22:58,370 So this is just a really strange beer. MM. 348 00:22:59,130 --> 00:23:03,210 So it's a West Coast IPA and it really drinks like like a like a 349 00:23:03,210 --> 00:23:06,610 juicy, like a hot, a hazy, but a juicy. 350 00:23:07,370 --> 00:23:13,010 So there's little to no bitterness. Extremely dry, kind of sweet. 351 00:23:13,410 --> 00:23:16,410 But I'm trying to figure out what these flavors are. 352 00:23:17,530 --> 00:23:21,050 And I just, I just can't put my my tongue jabber on it. 353 00:23:21,090 --> 00:23:24,250 I'm looking up pictures of this thing on untapped. Okay. 354 00:23:24,610 --> 00:23:27,770 And I'm looking specifically at canned paws. Sure. 355 00:23:28,210 --> 00:23:30,890 And there's one dude who, by the way, has a Wisconsin glass, 356 00:23:30,890 --> 00:23:35,170 so he must be somewhere around you. And it looks a lot like mine, 357 00:23:35,170 --> 00:23:36,610 to be honest. A little less hazy, 358 00:23:36,610 --> 00:23:40,450 but like same color. And it looks gorgeous and I shit 359 00:23:40,450 --> 00:23:44,170 you not. Next. Beer down. Looks like yours. 360 00:23:44,570 --> 00:23:46,490 I wonder if they had some canning issues. 361 00:23:47,230 --> 00:23:50,270 That would be my guess because it's not. 362 00:23:50,950 --> 00:23:55,430 Honestly, for a shitty looking beer, it doesn't taste the worst. 363 00:23:55,470 --> 00:23:59,430 Okay, well, the one that has a super light looking pour. 364 00:23:59,670 --> 00:24:03,270 He gave it five stars. The one that. The one that looks like yours 365 00:24:03,310 --> 00:24:06,270 gave it four stars. Okay, I definitely wouldn't even 366 00:24:06,270 --> 00:24:11,670 give it four stars. Okay. Um, and I do see it has a four a 367 00:24:11,670 --> 00:24:14,750 cumulative rating. Only 18 check ins on this one. 368 00:24:15,070 --> 00:24:17,550 Are you on the same? Are you same one as as I am. 369 00:24:17,590 --> 00:24:21,070 This is 74. There might be different. I'm just looking at pictures 370 00:24:21,070 --> 00:24:24,510 that have the can in it, so I'm. I'm sure that it's a can pour. 371 00:24:24,550 --> 00:24:26,950 Got it. They might have. I know it's a series, 372 00:24:26,950 --> 00:24:29,870 so people might get confused and check in on the wrong series. 373 00:24:30,270 --> 00:24:32,790 Here's another one that looks like yours. Four and a half. 374 00:24:33,030 --> 00:24:40,390 That's crazy. It just says smooth. It's. I guess it's not not smooth. 375 00:24:40,750 --> 00:24:43,590 This person says is juicy. West coast a thing. 376 00:24:43,830 --> 00:24:46,680 Whatever it is, it's really good. See? 377 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,920 So that's kind of what I'm getting is okay, but maybe just 378 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,720 the color itself is off putting and is kind of making my stomach 379 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,080 curdle a little bit. I don't know. It's a weird fucking color. 380 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,880 It looks like some air got in there and darkened it up. 381 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:08,000 Yeah, because honestly doesn't taste awful. That's good. 382 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:14,160 It's a bit earthy. Yeah, I guess. And but nothing extremely off. 383 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,040 Flavoring and pudding, I don't know. Okay. 384 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,320 I don't know, I guess I wish I could have got a better can. 385 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,240 Question mark. Yeah. And I know these guys always put 386 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,600 out really great offerings. Yeah. You're always loving their shit. 387 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,560 Oh. Every. Everything I've ever had from them, 388 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:38,040 I just thoroughly enjoyed. So yeah. I guess. Here's here's one. 389 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,880 I want to punch someone in the face for refreshing IPA with a complex 390 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:47,780 name. Oh. Ford Ranger is complex. Not very complex. 391 00:25:47,780 --> 00:25:53,540 I don't think so, no. Anyways. Keep keep keep commenting on that. 392 00:25:53,580 --> 00:25:56,700 Yeah. Please do. Do better. All right. 393 00:25:56,700 --> 00:26:01,540 Well, hopefully, uh, you know, there's better cans out there. 394 00:26:01,700 --> 00:26:06,860 Maybe I'll even look to see if I can find this beer and see if I 395 00:26:06,860 --> 00:26:09,700 can find out if this is actually how it's supposed to be. Yeah. 396 00:26:09,740 --> 00:26:12,100 Maybe needs a follow up. Yeah, it's, uh, 397 00:26:12,540 --> 00:26:16,220 that would be some fun research. Mhm. Some fun science for the show. 398 00:26:16,620 --> 00:26:19,660 But, uh, I think we'll go into a little news here. Yeah. 399 00:26:20,620 --> 00:26:25,380 See what we got for the old news cap today. Ready to smell like beer? 400 00:26:26,060 --> 00:26:30,460 I don't know if I am. PBR folks have teamed up with Doctor 401 00:26:30,460 --> 00:26:35,820 Squatch for a blue ribbon breeze bar of soap, which combines the 402 00:26:35,860 --> 00:26:41,020 aphrodisiac qualities of PBR lager, which I don't think is a real thing, 403 00:26:42,100 --> 00:26:46,910 and a crisp scent inspired by Milwaukee Lake days, which I 404 00:26:46,950 --> 00:26:51,110 also know is not a real thing. So you can equally smell like 405 00:26:51,150 --> 00:26:54,350 you've been catching fish all day in addition to drinking beer. 406 00:26:54,870 --> 00:26:58,430 A winning combo on any first date or job interview, 407 00:26:58,790 --> 00:27:05,030 the Blue Ribbon Bar can be yours for $8 or a $22.80 for a three pack. 408 00:27:05,510 --> 00:27:10,630 I'm gonna pass on this gray. Oh come on. I don't know about you. 409 00:27:11,230 --> 00:27:15,950 You don't want to smell like PBR. I really don't. I've. 410 00:27:16,430 --> 00:27:19,470 I've had it, I've smelled it. I've smelled the can. 411 00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:25,030 Day after parties. I am going to pass. Okay. 412 00:27:25,430 --> 00:27:29,430 I mean, your wife might like. I can't even. 413 00:27:29,470 --> 00:27:33,070 You can't even tell me on this. Yeah. It's awful. 414 00:27:33,070 --> 00:27:36,430 Not even the fact that I'm from Milwaukee, I don't know. Yeah. 415 00:27:36,470 --> 00:27:39,910 That's true. Yeah. It's just it's not gonna get me. 416 00:27:40,110 --> 00:27:43,110 In more news. Health department temporarily 417 00:27:43,110 --> 00:27:47,490 shuts down victories. Philly Taproom Victory Brewing's 418 00:27:47,490 --> 00:27:50,450 Philly taproom temporarily closed last week after city 419 00:27:50,450 --> 00:27:55,010 health officials found mice, roaches and other sanitation 420 00:27:55,010 --> 00:27:59,930 issues during an inspection. CBS News Philadelphia reported the 421 00:27:59,930 --> 00:28:04,970 closure began Tuesday as the company works to put finishing touches 422 00:28:05,130 --> 00:28:09,810 on the necessary corrections and preparations it shared on Instagram. 423 00:28:09,930 --> 00:28:15,490 It's unclear when it will reopen. Our priority is ensuring everything 424 00:28:15,490 --> 00:28:19,450 is fully addressed and that we have met our internal standards and 425 00:28:19,450 --> 00:28:23,530 those of the Philadelphia Health Department. Sure about that? 426 00:28:23,570 --> 00:28:29,410 What the hell are you doing? Gross. In order for that stuff to, you know, 427 00:28:29,450 --> 00:28:33,290 infiltrate and infest, you're doing something wrong and you're 428 00:28:33,290 --> 00:28:39,210 doing something wrong for a while. Yeah. Like doesn't just show up. 429 00:28:39,210 --> 00:28:41,930 I'm. I'm. I'm sorry. Here's the one thing I will say 430 00:28:41,930 --> 00:28:45,950 in their defense. Nice. No. No excuse. Roaches. 431 00:28:45,990 --> 00:28:50,070 It doesn't matter how clean you are, they can still show up in a 432 00:28:50,070 --> 00:28:55,710 restaurant. Okay. Fair enough. You do have to have good sanitation 433 00:28:55,710 --> 00:28:59,350 as well as, like, good pest control. Sounds like they don't have at 434 00:28:59,390 --> 00:29:01,030 least one of those things. That's what I'm thinking. 435 00:29:01,070 --> 00:29:03,550 Now, if you have bad sanitation, obviously they'll come much quicker. 436 00:29:04,590 --> 00:29:07,430 And the mice thing makes me think they have bad sanitation. 437 00:29:08,230 --> 00:29:13,630 Just like there's companies that, you know, do this, right? 438 00:29:14,230 --> 00:29:19,750 Like, you know, I work at a butcher shop, a food retail store. 439 00:29:20,190 --> 00:29:23,390 We have pest control in like every two weeks. Yeah. 440 00:29:23,990 --> 00:29:29,670 Checking traps, you know, setting everything just in case anything 441 00:29:29,870 --> 00:29:34,230 were to happen. Fucking do it. It's a must. It's a must. 442 00:29:34,230 --> 00:29:36,430 It's why you have to keep all your dry goods six inches, 443 00:29:36,590 --> 00:29:39,870 six inches, six inches. Off the ground. Yeah, it's, uh. 444 00:29:39,870 --> 00:29:42,910 Yeah, I used to work in a restaurant. It's all important. Yeah. 445 00:29:42,950 --> 00:29:46,200 Very important. Don't, uh, nothing to skate by for. 446 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:51,840 Oh, come on. Victory! Yeah. You don't sound very victorious. 447 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,400 And on that note. I'll see myself out. 448 00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,200 That was actually really, really good. So this has been going around. 449 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:06,640 I would say national news. Pabst offers $20,000 reward for 450 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:14,440 stolen truckload of PBR. Whoops. And speaking of PBR, PBR CEO wants 451 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:21,640 his beer back. $20,000 back. Uh, Pepsi CEO Greg Dubow says 452 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:26,440 someone stole a full truckload of Pabst Blue Ribbon in California. 453 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,760 We're looking at you, Greg. I know. That's where they brew it. 454 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:36,520 Uh, or one of the breweries? Sure. Uh, 1602 cases of beer was stolen. 455 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:42,200 They want it back by September 9th. Now, I believe this show is 456 00:30:42,300 --> 00:30:46,500 Releasing September 9th. Uh, actually after that. After that. 457 00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:49,060 That's right, you're right. So they want it back by 458 00:30:49,060 --> 00:30:54,220 September 9th, will they or won't they? Good question. His words. 459 00:30:54,500 --> 00:30:59,300 Someone had the balls to steal it. Kudos to them, I guess. 460 00:30:59,580 --> 00:31:05,140 Per police, on August 17th, Montclair PD reported two thefts 461 00:31:05,140 --> 00:31:08,260 at an Anheuser-Busch distribution center in California. 462 00:31:08,700 --> 00:31:14,140 First $45,000 shipment picked up 10 a.m.. Never reached Tucson. 463 00:31:14,420 --> 00:31:21,060 Second, an hour later, $25,000 in AB and PBR beer taken by a 464 00:31:21,100 --> 00:31:25,980 subcontractor with fake paperwork. Police say the two are connected. 465 00:31:25,980 --> 00:31:30,460 One larger theft operation. Investigation ongoing. Perhaps. 466 00:31:30,460 --> 00:31:36,620 Instagram post screaming red letters. Missing truck claimed 400 £0 of PBR 467 00:31:36,660 --> 00:31:41,100 bound for San Diego got swiped. Montclair police clarified no 468 00:31:41,100 --> 00:31:46,550 trucks were stolen, Just the beer. 546 cases of PBR 12 ounce cans, 469 00:31:47,270 --> 00:31:53,830 30 packs, 860 cases, PBR 20 or I'm sorry, 25 ounce single 470 00:31:53,830 --> 00:32:00,790 serve cans 15 packs, 196 cases.

A lot of beer. 473 00:32:11,270 --> 00:32:16,910 Bigger trend beer beverage was cargo thieves top target in 2025, 474 00:32:17,350 --> 00:32:21,670 up nearly 50% from 2024. Over a fifth of all supply chain 475 00:32:21,670 --> 00:32:24,390 theft. Nationally, total cargo theft 476 00:32:24,590 --> 00:32:32,790 $725 million last year, up 60%. Food and beverage alone up 47%. 477 00:32:32,830 --> 00:32:37,710 That's actually crazy. That is nuts. Consequences are real. 478 00:32:37,750 --> 00:32:42,730 A Bronx beer theft ringleader just got 63 months for hitting rail yards 479 00:32:42,730 --> 00:32:47,730 and warehouses for Corona and Modelo. Between 2022 and 2024, 480 00:32:48,490 --> 00:32:51,810 I did not know this was a real thing. Apparently it is. 481 00:32:52,130 --> 00:32:55,570 It's like the Wild West out there. That's a lot of words to read. 482 00:32:55,570 --> 00:33:00,050 That's a lot of numbers to put out. That's a lot of dip. Dip. 483 00:33:00,250 --> 00:33:05,010 Didn't know this was a thing. Mhm. Like, do you ever I mean, 484 00:33:06,010 --> 00:33:09,410 so I mean, this is just me. So there's been plenty of times 485 00:33:09,410 --> 00:33:12,530 where I go on lunch or come back from lunch. 486 00:33:12,530 --> 00:33:16,450 And we have a supplier truck just sitting out on the street, you know, 487 00:33:16,490 --> 00:33:19,130 because we have a small parking lot, so they can't really back up 488 00:33:19,130 --> 00:33:22,650 into our lot. Mhm. And countless times have I thought, 489 00:33:22,650 --> 00:33:27,170 wow, it would probably be pretty easy to just get in this truck 490 00:33:27,170 --> 00:33:29,770 or get in this trailer, pull a couple of cases and. 491 00:33:29,970 --> 00:33:34,250 Yeah. You know, be on your way. I never actually thought to do it. 492 00:33:35,650 --> 00:33:39,050 But it's a fantasy. I don't know if it's a fantasy 493 00:33:39,050 --> 00:33:41,470 or just kind of one of those ideas where you're like, hey, 494 00:33:42,470 --> 00:33:48,190 this if somebody wanted to, this could be an easy thing to do. 495 00:33:48,350 --> 00:33:51,030 Yeah, I mean, same thing back in my restaurant days, truck would 496 00:33:51,030 --> 00:33:55,230 park in the parking lot, but not right next to the delivery door. 497 00:33:56,230 --> 00:33:59,550 And if you wanted to steal something, you could have. Sure. 498 00:33:59,990 --> 00:34:02,830 And you know, when they're, they get out of their truck, they're 499 00:34:02,830 --> 00:34:06,950 not taking the keys with them. The keys are in the truck. Probably. 500 00:34:06,950 --> 00:34:09,990 Yeah, that would be my assumption. You don't even think about that. 501 00:34:10,350 --> 00:34:15,710 Um, so yeah, uh, that's it's fucking crazy. It's a lot of a lot of beer. 502 00:34:15,830 --> 00:34:20,670 A lot of beer, a lot of beer. And as far as I know, as we're 503 00:34:20,670 --> 00:34:25,750 recording this not found. Yeah. Also, uh, you can keep the 196 504 00:34:25,750 --> 00:34:30,550 cases of n a old Milwaukee. Yeah. I think that was like, uh, 505 00:34:30,550 --> 00:34:33,190 they just took the truck and that just so happened to be on it. 506 00:34:33,830 --> 00:34:37,190 They didn't know what they were grabbing. No, no. No, God damn it. 507 00:34:37,670 --> 00:34:40,760 They were just like, it's a it's a truck full of beer, right? 508 00:34:41,240 --> 00:34:46,800 Turns out it was 80% full of beer. Right? But what do you do with that? 509 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:51,200 Are you drinking it? Are you selling it? Are you? What? 510 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,440 Are we probably selling it or something. You think so? 511 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,320 I bet they got some, like, black market underground selling 512 00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,640 it to bars kind of thing. Okay. They pretend to be a distributor or 513 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,440 something, like, hey, we got cheaper prices. And those fucks. Sure. 514 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,560 Okay. I didn't think about that. That's my guess. Who knows? 515 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,800 My immediate reaction was just, what do you do with all of this beer? 516 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,400 And where do you where do you store it? Where do you store the truck? 517 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,240 That's a tough one. Like, hey, 518 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,680 can I borrow your garage? Right. Which makes you think this has to be 519 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:25,280 a real large operation to be able to store. That's true. Such. You know. 520 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,840 I doubt they're taking care of it. They're putting in a couple of 521 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,000 garages and calling it a day. Yeah. Tell you what. 522 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,160 Can't make the beer much worse. That's true. 523 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,720 What do you say we end on this one? Let's wrap it up. 524 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,100 D.U.I. suspect gives cops an extremely honest answer. 525 00:35:40,300 --> 00:35:43,580 Police in Gillette, Wyoming, arrested a 62 year old man for 526 00:35:43,580 --> 00:35:47,020 DUI after someone requested a welfare check on his vehicle. 527 00:35:47,820 --> 00:35:51,060 Officers found his Ford Edge parked at an intersection with 528 00:35:51,060 --> 00:35:54,100 the doors open and the man sitting in the driver's seat. 529 00:35:54,940 --> 00:36:00,300 Police say he appeared intoxicated and smelled of alcohol when officers 530 00:36:00,300 --> 00:36:06,420 asked how much he'd been drinking. His response was simply not enough. 531 00:36:06,780 --> 00:36:09,980 Been there. He was arrested for DUI after 532 00:36:10,020 --> 00:36:12,700 refusing to complete field sobriety tests. 533 00:36:13,380 --> 00:36:16,940 Sometimes you just need some more. Sounds like this guy was having 534 00:36:16,940 --> 00:36:20,660 a bad day. I think. So when you had a bad day. 535 00:36:21,460 --> 00:36:26,740 Second one down. Sorry. Uh, I actually bought that song on 536 00:36:26,740 --> 00:36:30,660 iTunes. Oh, okay. 15, 20 years ago. That song you ever. 537 00:36:30,660 --> 00:36:35,780 Bought, uh, was embarrassing to admit. Yeah. I'm embarrassed for you. 538 00:36:35,820 --> 00:36:39,340 Paid for music. And that was one of the songs. 539 00:36:39,390 --> 00:36:42,670 Daniel Powter. I could never have told you who 540 00:36:42,710 --> 00:36:47,150 that was. Really? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. 541 00:36:47,190 --> 00:36:50,670 No, I don't know who it was either. Yeah. Same. Same same same. Yeah. 542 00:36:50,710 --> 00:36:52,910 Why don't you start some music? Yeah, I'm gonna do that. 543 00:36:53,830 --> 00:36:56,710 We'll say hi to Vanessa. Oh.
