And then all the way back from 11 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,030 her trip around the salty seas. It's the salty sailor herself. 12 00:00:56,060 --> 00:00:58,850 Erica. What's happening? Hey, friends. Not a lot. 13 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,300 It's great to see you guys. Yeah, it's been a minute. 14 00:01:01,330 --> 00:01:04,810 Yeah, yeah, we got some California sunshine today. 15 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,390 Maybe that's the heat coming off your head. Yeah. 16 00:01:07,420 --> 00:01:09,100 Dude, it was hot down here. I don't know about up there, 17 00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:13,420 but it's like 86 down here today. Holy cow. It was like 78 here. Yeah. 18 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,650 This morning it was 31 degrees. But the wind was so bad it felt like 19 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:24,130 11. We're talking Fahrenheit, right? Right. Yeah. Strange. Good lord. 20 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,780 Yeah. No, it was 86, and we tried to 21 00:01:25,780 --> 00:01:28,600 take the dog for a walk and for, like, a half a mile in, he's like. 22 00:01:31,150 --> 00:01:34,060 And he's a black dog, so he's absorbing all of that heat. Yeah. 23 00:01:34,540 --> 00:01:36,610 You know, we actually have a sun shirt for him 24 00:01:36,610 --> 00:01:40,120 because of him being a black dog. And so he put his little sun shirt 25 00:01:40,150 --> 00:01:43,060 on first and he looks all cute. This little shirt on. 26 00:01:43,090 --> 00:01:44,770 I like you, but that might be one of the most 27 00:01:44,770 --> 00:01:48,190 California things I've ever heard. Such a yuppie dog. That's hilarious. 28 00:01:48,220 --> 00:01:50,230 I mean, you know, it takes time to acclimate. 29 00:01:50,230 --> 00:01:53,950 It did jump to 86 pretty quick on Marty's behalf, but. Right. 30 00:01:53,980 --> 00:01:56,470 I mean, it was like 60 something yesterday and today was 86. 31 00:01:56,470 --> 00:01:59,870 So anyways, not a dog shirt show? Nope. 32 00:01:59,870 --> 00:02:02,690 So we'll we'll move on from there. Thank God for that. Yeah. 33 00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:06,020 Uh, follow us on the socials at Craft Beer Republic at Flexy. 34 00:02:06,020 --> 00:02:10,910 Chew Your Beer underscore in between and at LLC underscore as well. 35 00:02:10,910 --> 00:02:14,060 And of course, NBCNews.com for all your, uh, drunk, 36 00:02:14,060 --> 00:02:19,880 snacky goodness.

It is. 39 00:02:26,420 --> 00:02:30,050 It's just to keep you just right in. Right in that drunk zone, 40 00:02:30,050 --> 00:02:32,900 not over the top.

It's not embarrassing at all. 43 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,520 Just nodding off of things on your shirt. It's. 44 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,470 It's a lot of fun watching. We've been doing it since we 45 00:02:45,500 --> 00:02:47,780 were kids. Like we had those candy necklaces. 46 00:02:47,810 --> 00:02:50,750 Oh, yeah. The candy necklaces. Yeah, I used to love those back 47 00:02:50,750 --> 00:02:53,750 in the day. Candy. Candy watches were the worst 48 00:02:53,750 --> 00:02:57,490 because you would eat your wrist and then everything would get 49 00:02:57,490 --> 00:03:01,300 sticky because all the spit. Yeah. And if you're wearing, like, 50 00:03:01,330 --> 00:03:03,040 long sleeves, like a sweatshirt or something, 51 00:03:03,070 --> 00:03:06,160 and then it's all fucking nasty around your arm. Hair stuck in there. 52 00:03:06,190 --> 00:03:10,210 Colored armbands. Yeah. I mean, it's awkward. Yeah. Pretzels. 53 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,450 Way better than pretzels are. Way better. Way healthier. 54 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,440 Yeah, that's the story here. So, anyways, uh, go buy some 55 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,620 pretzel necklaces and stuff. All right. Lots to get to today. 56 00:03:20,620 --> 00:03:23,620 The homie Chew Your Beer called in, and we've got a marathon of a 57 00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:25,240 voicemail. I didn't even know he was still 58 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,400 alive. That's great that he's checking in. 59 00:03:27,430 --> 00:03:30,460 Yeah. Glad to hear he's still. I had to send a welfare check on him. 60 00:03:30,490 --> 00:03:34,660 March! Miracle. That's exciting. Uh, some booze news to get to. 61 00:03:34,690 --> 00:03:38,140 Some exciting news for, uh, some Wisconsin people. 62 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,200 And, uh, we'll talk about what the hell's going up in Boston 63 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,360 for Saint Patrick's Day. Those guys are fucking weird. 64 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,860 But in the in the meantime, please allow me to hydrate myself. 65 00:03:52,810 --> 00:03:59,150 My dear. Out of my beer. Should have pulled the Austin 66 00:03:59,150 --> 00:04:04,520 Powers and said, let myself hydrate myself. Myself. 67 00:04:05,090 --> 00:04:08,780 Hey, do I know you know that's where you are. You're there. 68 00:04:08,990 --> 00:04:14,780 Never got it. I am drinking today. Weldwerks Brewing Company. 69 00:04:14,810 --> 00:04:23,570 Keeping time. It's a double hazy IPA. 8% has a collective 418 on 70 00:04:23,570 --> 00:04:27,230 untapped with over four. Yeah, over 1400 ratings. 71 00:04:27,230 --> 00:04:31,910 And they say hazy double IPA, uh, with Citra, El Dorado, 72 00:04:31,940 --> 00:04:36,860 Motueka and Nelson Sauvin hops. Nice big description there. 73 00:04:39,020 --> 00:04:42,500 The schnoz. I get a lot of get some alcohol, 74 00:04:42,500 --> 00:04:45,380 actually. Okay. On an 8%. That's kind of wild. 75 00:04:45,410 --> 00:04:48,890 It's kind of wild. I'm also smelling, I think, mostly 76 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,270 citrus. It's like some orangey ness. Would you say hints of orange 77 00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:56,650 and tangerine. Hints of orange and tangerine. 78 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,600 You nailed it. It's like you're here with me. 79 00:05:01,180 --> 00:05:04,180 Uh, yeah, that's pretty much it for the smell. It's, uh. 80 00:05:04,180 --> 00:05:09,610 Let's dig right in with a little Tongue-jobber action here. All right. 81 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,220 Follow suit with, I'd say, the addition of pineapple. 82 00:05:12,250 --> 00:05:17,920 Get a lot of pineapple up front. Yeah. 83 00:05:17,950 --> 00:05:20,140 You know, as this sits, I've probably opened this, 84 00:05:20,170 --> 00:05:22,090 I don't know, ten minutes ago, before we actually started the show, 85 00:05:22,090 --> 00:05:24,460 when I first poured it fresh out of the fridge, 86 00:05:24,970 --> 00:05:29,140 I actually didn't like it as much. It's gotten better in ten minutes. 87 00:05:29,590 --> 00:05:31,210 Uh, at first I was really getting some, 88 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,620 like, alcohol burn and hot burn. Just some all around burn and 89 00:05:35,620 --> 00:05:38,800 some bitterness. This is a hazy. I don't want that shit in my hazy. 90 00:05:38,890 --> 00:05:42,460 And, uh, as it's opened. I don't know if it's the warmth 91 00:05:42,460 --> 00:05:45,820 or it's just had a chance to aerate like a fine wine. 92 00:05:45,850 --> 00:05:48,670 Either way, it is improved a little bit, and I'm actually 93 00:05:48,670 --> 00:05:50,800 liking it a little bit more now. A little more fluffiness than I 94 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,270 was getting before. Um, way more fruit flavor than I 95 00:05:53,270 --> 00:05:55,310 was getting before. Like I said, that pineapple and the 96 00:05:55,310 --> 00:05:59,180 orange coming through so much better. When I first opened it, I was 97 00:05:59,180 --> 00:06:04,010 like 418. Are you guys on crack? Uh, I'd have said it like a three. 98 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,370 I'm gonna bump this up to, like, a 3.75. It's good. Not amazing. 99 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,070 Okay, we'll drink again for sure. We'll drink again? Yeah. 100 00:06:10,070 --> 00:06:13,010 I wouldn't spend what I spent on it. This came from the old Tibor, 101 00:06:13,370 --> 00:06:14,750 you know. I think it cost like, you know, 102 00:06:14,780 --> 00:06:19,040 $73 for a can. Sounds about. Right. Yeah, I think that's what 103 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,820 they're charging these days. So what I would I pay Tibor prices 104 00:06:22,820 --> 00:06:28,100 for it. Uh, no, it's not that good. But I drink again. Okay, okay. 105 00:06:28,430 --> 00:06:32,420 Fair enough. Yeah. So reasonable. Hey, shout out to our top listening 106 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,360 of last week. And that was. That was Oaks, California. What's up? 107 00:06:35,390 --> 00:06:43,670 Oh. Hey there. Yeah. So many oaks. So many. Yeah. To be exact. So. 108 00:06:43,700 --> 00:06:46,880 And, uh, special shout out to Finland. Hi, Finland. 109 00:06:46,910 --> 00:06:50,750 Are we back? What's up friend? Well, not only are we always there, 110 00:06:50,770 --> 00:06:55,750 But last week or week before they, um, they released the annual 111 00:06:55,750 --> 00:06:58,870 World Happiness Report. And for the eighth year in a row, 112 00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:02,770 Finland was found to be the happiest country in the world, 113 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,370 followed by fellow Nordic nations Denmark, Iceland and Sweden. 114 00:07:06,370 --> 00:07:09,610 So it just made me even more proud that the happiest nation in the 115 00:07:09,610 --> 00:07:13,870 world loves craft beer. Republic. Yeah. That's something. Yeah, well. 116 00:07:14,140 --> 00:07:18,730 I still don't get it. Any other. Scandinavian here? Maybe we're happy. 117 00:07:18,730 --> 00:07:21,670 I don't know who knows. Um, we actually were talking 118 00:07:21,670 --> 00:07:24,430 about Finland today, so I wonder if McDreamy had read 119 00:07:24,430 --> 00:07:26,950 that report because we were like, oh, if we were ever to, like, 120 00:07:26,980 --> 00:07:31,750 say, move to another country. He was like, Finland is like a 121 00:07:31,750 --> 00:07:35,080 super happy place. So yeah. And then I thought about how craft 122 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,400 Beer Republic is often on the charts there. So that's pretty cool. 123 00:07:39,430 --> 00:07:42,010 Maybe they think we're happy. They're up there too for like 124 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,370 having like, the most attractive people in the world. 125 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,920 Oh, I think I've heard that before. Yeah. 126 00:07:48,340 --> 00:07:52,170 Uh, so, yeah, I probably wouldn't fare too well. Um. 127 00:07:53,940 --> 00:07:56,370 Are you saying because you don't measure up or because. Yeah. 128 00:07:56,610 --> 00:07:59,460 How do you measure? How do you measure up to that? Yeah. 129 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,100 Bring the short shorts and the tree trunks. 130 00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:06,600 I think you'll be just fine. Just. I can see Flex getting off the 131 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:11,130 plane now. Hello. Ladies. Just coming out with a towel 132 00:08:11,130 --> 00:08:16,110 wrapped around me. Yeah, exactly. Hell, yeah. Nailed it. 133 00:08:17,490 --> 00:08:21,150 Erica doesn't get it, but thank goodness it is not a voluminous show. 134 00:08:21,180 --> 00:08:24,450 Yeah, nor. Nor a wrestling show. No. Definitely not. Yes. 135 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,650 Not one per episode. Cool. Got it. Gotta get him where we can run. 136 00:08:28,770 --> 00:08:32,940 Got it. I was I was a snob today. I gotta put this out there. 137 00:08:32,970 --> 00:08:36,060 Let's hear it. So the kids are on spring break. 138 00:08:36,090 --> 00:08:38,790 Okay. Hooray! Right. Everybody's happy. Yeah. 139 00:08:38,820 --> 00:08:42,090 And, uh, when we have a night free, every once in a while, we like 140 00:08:42,090 --> 00:08:46,590 to treat the kids to like a fun, nicer dinner. So they want to say. 141 00:08:46,590 --> 00:08:49,150 Uh, kick them over to grandma's house and have some fun. 142 00:08:49,180 --> 00:08:52,810 No no no no no no no. That doesn't ever happen. Um. 143 00:08:55,510 --> 00:08:58,870 Um, so we went out to, like, a little subnitidus dinner. 144 00:08:58,900 --> 00:09:02,680 You know, not like, super fancy, but, you know, better than, like, 145 00:09:02,710 --> 00:09:07,510 your average franchise place and. Okay. Um, better than Applebee's. 146 00:09:07,540 --> 00:09:11,860 Right, right. So they had a pretty decent beer 147 00:09:11,860 --> 00:09:15,070 menu, and we went there last summer. Just me and the wife, 148 00:09:15,070 --> 00:09:17,290 and we always talked. Hey, we need to bring the kids back. 149 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,290 So I was just checking out their menu before we went, 150 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,570 checking out the food, seeing what they had to offer. 151 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,240 They had the beer menu online and I was like, oh, they have a 152 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:30,190 Eagle Park rotating tap said, this sounds wonderful. 153 00:09:30,190 --> 00:09:33,910 I'll get a nice meal, a really decent beer, 154 00:09:33,910 --> 00:09:38,920 and just have a wonderful evening. So we get to dinner, ask them what 155 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,670 their rotating tap was for EP, and they said it was their Citra 156 00:09:42,670 --> 00:09:45,850 on the dock of the Bay, which is one of my all time favorite beers. 157 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:52,500 All time favorite. I love it. 8%. It is an all Citra Hazy IPA. 158 00:09:52,890 --> 00:09:56,670 Just phenomenal. Love. Citra. Ordered it. 159 00:09:56,670 --> 00:10:00,540 The waitress brings it to the table and I can see my daughter through 160 00:10:00,540 --> 00:10:07,170 the glass. Uh oh. Hahahahaha! And I said, excuse me, what is this? 161 00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:11,700 And she said, oh, that's the Eagle Park Citra on the dock. Sure isn't. 162 00:10:11,730 --> 00:10:16,200 I said, well, it's not, which is why I asked because I know 163 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,250 that's not the beer I ordered. Um, do you know who I am? 164 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:27,720 And I did feel kind of douchey. I wasn't super proud of it, but she. 165 00:10:27,750 --> 00:10:33,570 She went to the bar, back to the bar, and came back and reiterated that 166 00:10:33,570 --> 00:10:36,870 that's what the bartender said was on tap, and that is what he poured. 167 00:10:36,870 --> 00:10:39,810 And she said, if I wanted a different beer, I could. 168 00:10:39,810 --> 00:10:44,610 And I definitely ordered a different beer because I did take a sip of 169 00:10:44,610 --> 00:10:50,620 it and it was not new. It. So do you think it's just been 170 00:10:50,620 --> 00:10:53,200 sitting around for a few months? I'm thinking it was maybe 171 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:59,410 rotating for never, and it was just sitting the opposite 172 00:10:59,410 --> 00:11:04,030 of rotating and everything was. Yeah, it was like, 173 00:11:04,060 --> 00:11:10,090 I'll take a hazy minus. The haze. SAT there so long it had a chance to 174 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,530 drop out. Yeah, it was pretty bad. That's. Yikes. Um, yeah. 175 00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:17,410 But yeah, she took it off the bills, so that was cool. Yeah. 176 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,260 Way to go, you douche. But then the the the rest of the 177 00:11:20,260 --> 00:11:24,430 dinner, I kind of felt like an asshole. Oh. You get. 178 00:11:24,460 --> 00:11:27,610 Do you ever, like, follow that up with some sort of qualifier like, 179 00:11:27,610 --> 00:11:31,300 oh, I'm a, like, insert something fake here. Like I'm a beer rep. 180 00:11:31,420 --> 00:11:35,620 All I kept, all I kept thinking about was maybe I can just open up 181 00:11:35,650 --> 00:11:39,370 untapped and show them what the beer is supposed to look like. 182 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,580 And then I thought, nope, that's even douchier. 183 00:11:42,580 --> 00:11:48,750 So I just let bygones be bygones and felt like an ass for the 184 00:11:48,750 --> 00:11:52,680 rest of dinner. Um, but we gave her a nice tip, 185 00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:55,530 so it was fine. Yeah. That's good. I think I've told this story on 186 00:11:55,530 --> 00:11:57,240 the show. This was probably three years 187 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,030 ago or so. We went to, um, I don't know, 188 00:12:00,030 --> 00:12:02,760 some big place, like a yard, house type of establishment or 189 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,550 something like that. And I ordered nothing crazy. 190 00:12:05,580 --> 00:12:07,830 It was a Sierra Nevada hazy little thing. 191 00:12:08,100 --> 00:12:11,430 And, you know, I've had 1 or 30 of those in my. Day, right? 192 00:12:11,430 --> 00:12:15,660 And I know they're not the, like, haziest beer visually in the world, 193 00:12:15,660 --> 00:12:18,570 but, you know, they got some good haze to them. Definitely. 194 00:12:18,810 --> 00:12:22,950 And it showed up like yours. Crystal clear, crystal clear. 195 00:12:22,950 --> 00:12:25,890 And I said, I wish I had the bar, so luckily I'd have to like, flag it. 196 00:12:25,890 --> 00:12:30,570 And I was like, hey, I don't think that's the right beer. 197 00:12:30,570 --> 00:12:32,460 And she goes, yeah, it sure is. And I said, 198 00:12:32,460 --> 00:12:34,440 can you tell me what it is? Then she goes, yeah, 199 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:39,330 it's the hazy little thing. I said, okay, do you see any haze? 200 00:12:39,930 --> 00:12:42,750 And she goes, well, it's the hazy little thing. 201 00:12:42,770 --> 00:12:45,290 And I said, I know what I ordered was the Hazel thing. 202 00:12:45,290 --> 00:12:48,050 And maybe you told the person hazel thing, but I don't think 203 00:12:48,050 --> 00:12:51,800 what they then handed you to hand to me was Hazel thing. 204 00:12:51,830 --> 00:12:54,830 She goes, no, it definitely is. I said, so then you're telling me 205 00:12:54,830 --> 00:12:58,970 you have such an old keg or dirty lines of hazel thing that now 206 00:12:58,970 --> 00:13:02,540 it's just dropping clear? Yes. She goes, well, I don't know. 207 00:13:02,540 --> 00:13:05,750 Do you want a different like clearly you're right over the top. 208 00:13:05,930 --> 00:13:07,340 And she said, well do you want a different beer? 209 00:13:07,340 --> 00:13:09,500 I was like, I mean, honestly, I'd prefer this beer the way 210 00:13:09,500 --> 00:13:11,750 it's supposed to come out. Is that an option? 211 00:13:11,780 --> 00:13:14,450 She's like, are you asking me to report it? 212 00:13:14,450 --> 00:13:17,570 I said, well, if you think that there's any chance that the 213 00:13:17,570 --> 00:13:23,270 wrong beer got poured. Yes. If you are 120% certain that this 214 00:13:23,270 --> 00:13:25,970 is out of the hazy little thing, tap, then there's no point in 215 00:13:25,970 --> 00:13:29,630 wasting more shitty beer. No point. And I drank a clear, 216 00:13:29,660 --> 00:13:35,720 hazy little thing that night. Wow. Did it taste off? Yes. 217 00:13:35,750 --> 00:13:38,210 Yeah, it did not. It tastes like a fucking West Coast. 218 00:13:38,210 --> 00:13:40,280 It was not hazy little thing. Oh, this. 219 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,410 This thing tastes like West Coast, but it was definitely like, uh, 220 00:13:43,530 --> 00:13:47,400 it was bad. Mm. Like, the fruit flavors were off. 221 00:13:47,430 --> 00:13:49,410 Yeah, just. Everything had dropped out. 222 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:54,150 Ironically, though, it from the two sips I took of it, uh, great lacing. 223 00:13:54,150 --> 00:13:58,860 Which is surprising because that's supposed to be the sign of, 224 00:13:58,890 --> 00:14:02,340 like, a fresh beer, right? So then I kept thinking to myself, 225 00:14:02,340 --> 00:14:07,680 maybe they had the beer name wrong, and maybe it was a fresh keg of. 226 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:13,020 Of something else. Something else. But I was done with it. 227 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,250 Yeah, I recently. I couldn't, I couldn't drink it past 228 00:14:17,250 --> 00:14:20,760 two sips, so I figured that's. All. You had. Yeah, I figured it was bad. 229 00:14:20,790 --> 00:14:22,920 Would you. She even said she's like, oh, 230 00:14:22,950 --> 00:14:25,440 you can keep it, you know? I'll take it off the tab. 231 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,450 Just, you know, because I ordered the second beer. 232 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,060 She goes, oh, you can have both of them. Yeah. I couldn't do it. 233 00:14:30,090 --> 00:14:34,410 You couldn't even plug and chug. No, no, because it was that bad 234 00:14:34,410 --> 00:14:35,940 or because you didn't wanna do that in front of your kids? Yeah. 235 00:14:35,940 --> 00:14:38,970 Because you want to be like. Um, it was bad enough that I 236 00:14:38,970 --> 00:14:44,810 couldn't drink it to enjoy it. Got it. That's fair. Yeah, I just. 237 00:14:45,020 --> 00:14:47,420 I knew I was doing the show tonight, so I didn't want to get, 238 00:14:48,470 --> 00:14:54,440 you know, 88% it up and. Yeah. Do your kids now, like, know the 239 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,370 difference in colors and haziness in beers? Like, is your daughter like. 240 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,380 Yeah, dad, you're right. That's fucked up. 241 00:15:00,740 --> 00:15:03,590 No, no, they're not that pretentious yet. 242 00:15:03,620 --> 00:15:07,130 Oh, cause I love that they pick out your cans. That's my favorite. 243 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,470 Yeah, it's my favorite. I was really bummed the last 244 00:15:09,470 --> 00:15:11,900 time I went to the beer store. Uh, they weren't with me, 245 00:15:11,930 --> 00:15:14,120 so it was kind of bummed out. Why'd you even go then? 246 00:15:14,150 --> 00:15:16,250 I know, but they did laugh at one of the cans. 247 00:15:16,250 --> 00:15:19,490 I bought this little green guy on it with a little stick arms and stick 248 00:15:19,490 --> 00:15:24,230 legs, and he's got some glasses and a little chef's hat. All right. 249 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,290 Yeah, they loved it. Erica. Have you started letting the 250 00:15:27,290 --> 00:15:30,470 kids pick out your beers yet? Uh, they haven't really picked out 251 00:15:30,470 --> 00:15:33,080 the beers, but they tend to call everything a beer, which is pretty 252 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,210 embarrassing, because it's like, no matter where we are, 253 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,130 you know, it'll be like at the park and something in a can, 254 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,250 they'll be like, oh, your beer. It's like. It's a Coke. Zero. 255 00:15:41,490 --> 00:15:46,410 That is. A beer. One time they. It was a few years ago, but they were 256 00:15:46,410 --> 00:15:50,850 served little cans of apple juice with their lunch or whatever it was. 257 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,080 And they looked at the waitress and I think it was my daughter said, 258 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,820 you brought me a beer, and we just looked like she thinks 259 00:15:59,820 --> 00:16:02,220 anything in a can is a beer. Sorry. That's amazing. 260 00:16:02,250 --> 00:16:04,110 Yeah, because apple juice doesn't normally come in a can. 261 00:16:04,140 --> 00:16:06,990 To be fair. But still, it's. Well, it's extra great because 262 00:16:07,020 --> 00:16:11,730 apple juice is the color of beer. True, true. Yeah, that's a. 263 00:16:11,730 --> 00:16:14,760 Couple summers ago. Uh, we took some water cups home 264 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,660 from, uh, when we went to Eagle Park, and my kids wanted to play, like, 265 00:16:18,660 --> 00:16:24,000 brewery outside. It was amazing. Absolutely amazing. Awesome. 266 00:16:24,030 --> 00:16:26,670 Other kids are making mud pies, and his kids are, like, 267 00:16:26,670 --> 00:16:32,010 slinging pints, right? Honestly, when you're a dad, you 268 00:16:32,010 --> 00:16:36,990 can't ask for much more than that. Proudest moment of Daddy Flex life. 269 00:16:37,460 --> 00:16:40,790 That's so good. Uh, well, speaking of being drunk 270 00:16:40,820 --> 00:16:45,230 and debaucherous, I don't know, uh, anybody do anything fun for Saint 271 00:16:45,230 --> 00:16:50,510 Patrick's Day? It happened last week. Uh, I went out with a couple, 272 00:16:50,510 --> 00:16:56,960 uh, old work friends, and we caught up on some times and, uh, 273 00:16:57,380 --> 00:17:01,460 had some solid beer. Some solid food. Yeah. Nothing overly Irish. 274 00:17:01,490 --> 00:17:10,820 I don't get into the whole, you know, Guinness. And how was that Guinness? 275 00:17:10,910 --> 00:17:16,820 Oh, sorry. It hurts to say. Uh, but, yeah, I don't get into 276 00:17:16,850 --> 00:17:21,830 anything too crazy. Mhm. Yeah. We, um, I always make corned beef 277 00:17:21,830 --> 00:17:24,740 and cabbage, but we did that a little early because my sister in 278 00:17:24,770 --> 00:17:27,590 law Tiffany I don't know you guys. You know who Tiffany is right. 279 00:17:27,620 --> 00:17:29,120 You guys. Oh yeah the Nashville Tiffany. 280 00:17:29,570 --> 00:17:33,320 What's that? The Nashville Tiffany. Yeah, exactly. 281 00:17:33,350 --> 00:17:35,780 So she came a few days before, so we had, 282 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,760 like hung out and we drank for like, I felt like four days straight 283 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,750 up until Saint Patrick's Day. So, um, I was okay not partying 284 00:17:43,750 --> 00:17:46,060 on Saint Patrick's Day. And I had a similar. 285 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,150 By the way, next time you guys do that, you should drunk call Flex. 286 00:17:49,570 --> 00:17:54,550 Oh, we should drunk. Tell Flex. She probably. 287 00:17:54,580 --> 00:17:58,690 She works out twice a day. That's true. At least once a day. 288 00:17:58,690 --> 00:18:02,230 Every day. That's true. Sometimes twice a day. Yeah. 289 00:18:02,260 --> 00:18:05,710 I'm just. I'm like, uh. It's a lot. Four times a week. 290 00:18:06,730 --> 00:18:08,800 That's a good amount. That's a good amount. 291 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,790 She's very, very good at being committed to that. So. 292 00:18:12,820 --> 00:18:16,060 But we always have to, like, schedule some good chunks of time. 293 00:18:16,060 --> 00:18:18,040 So. Yeah, it makes me think of you. Flex. I'm like, she's. 294 00:18:18,070 --> 00:18:22,570 It's hard to fuel yourself with that much protein. She will. 295 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:28,240 That's it. It's all pure protein. She's just interesting all day. Yeah. 296 00:18:28,270 --> 00:18:31,900 Very interesting. Yeah. That's funny. Well, 297 00:18:31,930 --> 00:18:35,420 I my weekend was similar to Erika's. I drank leading up to Saint 298 00:18:35,420 --> 00:18:37,760 Patrick's Day. Yeah, I didn't have anything on the 299 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,780 day, which I'm sure is some sort of, you know, law that I broke or. 300 00:18:41,810 --> 00:18:44,840 Yeah, yeah. Who knows? I but I definitely celebrated 301 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,930 Stone cold Day the day before. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. 302 00:18:48,350 --> 00:18:51,680 Had some Steve Wisers and all that kind of stuff. 303 00:18:51,710 --> 00:18:55,190 So that was Sunday, right? Yeah. Sunday. Sunday. 304 00:18:55,490 --> 00:19:00,920 I think I might have had, uh, maybe. Did I drink on Stone cold, man? 305 00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:06,170 I think important. Holiday to me. Anyway, I let the big guy down. Mhm. 306 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,750 I don't know if I had anything. You're gonna get coal in your 307 00:19:08,750 --> 00:19:16,070 stocking. Oh, man. Oh, stone cold, stone cold. Yeah. 308 00:19:16,130 --> 00:19:19,700 And apparently, uh, my sister, did you know she got married? 309 00:19:19,820 --> 00:19:21,800 Uh, first off, didn't even know you had a sister. 310 00:19:21,830 --> 00:19:25,730 Why are you not talking about it? Second of all, how was she married? 311 00:19:26,330 --> 00:19:28,610 Um, yeah, I don't know. See, is there anything else I 312 00:19:28,610 --> 00:19:32,240 need to know? Well, she. She finally shipped out her kid on 313 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:37,240 Stone cold day, too. That's wild. So he will forever be referred 314 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,360 to as stone cold. What a target to hit. Right on. 315 00:19:40,390 --> 00:19:44,650 Yeah, at least the kid has a chance now, though, right? Before it was. 316 00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:49,210 Right. Nope. Yeah. Nothing. Now it's gonna be an urban cowboy, 317 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,020 you know? And, uh. Special connection with his. 318 00:19:53,140 --> 00:19:56,890 At least he has a chance. Yeah. And, you know, maybe his grandfather 319 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,790 won't hate him now because, uh, my dad's quite the stone cold fan, 320 00:20:00,820 --> 00:20:04,360 so. Right.

This kid is gonna make it in life. 340 00:21:10,100 --> 00:21:14,720 Yeah, he's gonna get laid so hard. Oh, thank goodness, thank goodness 341 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,690 he was born on the day he was. Otherwise, it would have been 342 00:21:17,690 --> 00:21:20,810 just all downhill. Yeah. And if anybody, you know questions 343 00:21:20,810 --> 00:21:23,150 it like, hey, what's with the shirt or what's with the jorts? 344 00:21:23,180 --> 00:21:27,770 You know, like, hey, that's in 316. Got it, got it. 345 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,400 We got it. Bottom line. Just chill out, all right? We got it. 346 00:21:30,850 --> 00:21:34,870 So sorry. We'll walk away. Yeah. So sorry, Mr. 16. 347 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,270 Anyways, we'll get off of that. Uh, back to the whole, uh, 348 00:21:40,270 --> 00:21:43,300 Saint Patrick's Day thing. Have you guys heard of Borg's? 349 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:49,210 Borg? Borg's. Borg's? I just got bit by the love bat. 350 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,420 Yeah. No. Not quite. Okay. Apparently, this is a thing. 351 00:21:52,450 --> 00:21:55,780 Especially in Boston. Boston area transit police were 352 00:21:55,780 --> 00:21:58,840 busy on Saint Patrick's Day confiscating Borg's, which stands 353 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:03,820 for Black Outrage gallons. Oh, yes, I have heard of these. Okay. 354 00:22:03,940 --> 00:22:08,020 Viral sensations of several years ago, created by party and Gen Zers 355 00:22:08,020 --> 00:22:11,860 who are looking to hydrate while also consuming cocktails at scale. 356 00:22:11,890 --> 00:22:16,720 It's like milk jugs full of green drink. Yes, I've seen this. 357 00:22:16,750 --> 00:22:19,840 And their only goal is to get completely obliterated. 358 00:22:19,870 --> 00:22:22,030 They were never caught. I never heard him called Borg, 359 00:22:22,120 --> 00:22:26,530 though. I can't remember what I. The rage thing was definitely in 360 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,330 there. Okay. Maybe they were just called like, 361 00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:32,690 rage gallons or something like that. Maybe. Yeah, it's fucking insane. 362 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,360 I have heard of this. Is it a special like, 363 00:22:35,390 --> 00:22:37,820 mix that's in there, or can it be pretty much anything? 364 00:22:37,820 --> 00:22:41,450 Some green drink that they mix up? I think it's like green fucking 365 00:22:41,450 --> 00:22:44,060 King's cup at this point. Like, just whatever you can get 366 00:22:44,090 --> 00:22:47,120 hammered on because the goal, it's called blackout rage gallon. 367 00:22:47,120 --> 00:22:50,540 So they're just there to get obliterated. Wow. 368 00:22:50,570 --> 00:22:52,850 And they carry them around. So anyways, they're going on the 369 00:22:52,850 --> 00:22:55,280 subway with them and like, they're getting confiscated and 370 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,000 arrested and like, cops know, they're like, yeah, we've we've 371 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,210 seen gallons of green drink before. We know what the fuck you're 372 00:23:02,210 --> 00:23:03,860 carrying around. It's pretty hard to, like, 373 00:23:03,890 --> 00:23:08,270 hide a gallon of green drink, too, if you're cruising around with it. 374 00:23:08,270 --> 00:23:10,730 So. Right. You're gonna get caught. Yeah. 375 00:23:10,850 --> 00:23:12,920 Wait, did it say how many they confiscated? 376 00:23:12,950 --> 00:23:15,590 No, but there was a picture. And I'm talking. 377 00:23:15,590 --> 00:23:19,820 This one picture had at least, like, 30 gallons in it. That's nuts. 378 00:23:19,850 --> 00:23:22,340 Yeah, it was good times. Fucking fucking Boston. 379 00:23:22,370 --> 00:23:27,730 So stupid over there. Is it like a college thing or. 380 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,980 I don't know. Are these people just really 381 00:23:29,980 --> 00:23:33,760 looking to get fucked up? Yes and yes. I mean a lot more. 382 00:23:34,060 --> 00:23:40,390 I get it. So I never got it before. And I get it now. 383 00:23:40,420 --> 00:23:43,330 I'm like Bill Murray at the end of Scrooged. I get it now. 384 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:50,950 Um, so I work with a guy. He was one of the lucky guys 385 00:23:50,950 --> 00:23:54,820 that have off on Mondays, and for weeks he was like, hey, 386 00:23:55,360 --> 00:23:57,760 Saint Patty's Day is on Monday. I said, yeah. 387 00:23:57,850 --> 00:24:00,400 He said, I hope you're ready to go out. 388 00:24:00,430 --> 00:24:04,360 And I said, yeah, I'll go out, get some beers, you know, have like a 389 00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:07,570 Reuben or some shit, like, yeah, it sounds like a wonderful time. 390 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,200 Well, me, him and another guy, we're going to go. 391 00:24:11,230 --> 00:24:14,650 The third guy couldn't get a babysitter. 392 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,640 Had some plans that came up that evening. Couldn't go out. 393 00:24:19,420 --> 00:24:22,690 This dude, like, threw a shit fit. Like his plan was to go out and 394 00:24:22,690 --> 00:24:24,940 get fucked up. Like he was planning on getting 395 00:24:24,970 --> 00:24:27,810 fucked up. Right? So he goes to the store Monday 396 00:24:27,810 --> 00:24:31,530 morning and sends us a picture of a bottle of Baileys, 397 00:24:31,590 --> 00:24:35,520 a 12 pack of Guinness and a bottle of Jameson in a shopping cart. 398 00:24:35,550 --> 00:24:42,090 Are you doing car bombs all night? So at about 4:00, he sent us a 399 00:24:42,090 --> 00:24:47,460 picture. All 12 Guinness were empty. The bottle of Baileys was empty. 400 00:24:47,490 --> 00:24:49,710 Oh, no. And the bottle of Jameson was 401 00:24:49,710 --> 00:24:52,710 half gone. Dude, that's like alcohol poisoning. 402 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,810 That is way too much. Well, I guess Guinness is only 5%, 403 00:24:57,810 --> 00:25:02,010 but still. But I get it now that people aim 404 00:25:02,010 --> 00:25:04,680 to just get fucked up because of the day. 405 00:25:04,710 --> 00:25:10,230 I guess I'm in the same boat as you. Like, I guess, like. 406 00:25:10,470 --> 00:25:15,150 That level of fucked up. I'm not doing it. Call me old. 407 00:25:15,180 --> 00:25:17,730 But that's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. When you're in your 20s. 408 00:25:17,730 --> 00:25:21,960 But as it's like a full blown adult. That does not sound. 409 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:27,050 He claims it's his holiday. Okay. You know, everybody's got their one. 410 00:25:28,070 --> 00:25:35,480 Even Irish. No, he's Native American. You know, so it's. It's. You know. 411 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,620 Yeah. I guess as one is. Yeah, exactly. Uh. 412 00:25:39,620 --> 00:25:41,840 All right, well, before we check in with, uh, 413 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,960 the homie Chew Your Beer, let's let's see what Erica is drinking 414 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,210 over there. We'll call the the pen. 415 00:25:52,430 --> 00:25:56,930 He calls to the bullpen for beer. Yes. 416 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,460 Okay, guys, I have my first ever evergreen beer. 417 00:26:01,670 --> 00:26:05,450 Isn't that Pennsylvania? Yes. So it's called Shred-head. 418 00:26:05,450 --> 00:26:07,730 And it happened to be sent from shred. 419 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:12,230 I got a surprise box last week. Dude, he's a nice dude. 420 00:26:12,230 --> 00:26:15,830 And, uh, he sent it with a bunch of pretzels, too, so I got, like, 421 00:26:15,860 --> 00:26:19,280 eight beers and a bunch of pretzels. Did he say they were, like, 422 00:26:19,310 --> 00:26:22,190 famous PA pretzels or something? Well, it was cute, because. 423 00:26:22,430 --> 00:26:24,480 That's totally something he does. Yeah. 424 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,800 I don't know if you have these Snyder. Made by Amish people. Yeah. 425 00:26:29,100 --> 00:26:34,980 He's so proud of where he's from. Yeah, it kills me, I love it. 426 00:26:35,010 --> 00:26:37,890 It's great. It's one time we had been messaging, 427 00:26:37,890 --> 00:26:43,860 and he literally received a pretzel delivery while we were messaging, and 428 00:26:43,890 --> 00:26:47,340 it was like a case of soft pretzels. He and his wife were opening up 429 00:26:47,340 --> 00:26:48,720 or something. I'm like, this is a thing you 430 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,930 guys do. So it's kind of funny. Soft pretzel. Right? 431 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:57,840 I mean, just get some mustard and just start. Yeah. It's just. 432 00:26:57,870 --> 00:27:02,610 Or. Beer. Cheese. Beer cheese. Oh my goodness. Yeah. 433 00:27:02,610 --> 00:27:06,300 So, um, so this is Shred-head, and it's kind of cool because it's 434 00:27:06,300 --> 00:27:10,830 got like a snowboarding dude on the front, which I don't snowboard. 435 00:27:10,830 --> 00:27:13,770 I don't even ski anymore. I tried it for a couple of years, 436 00:27:13,770 --> 00:27:17,220 and, um, I would rather just sit in the hot tub. 437 00:27:17,220 --> 00:27:19,980 But you and the wife will be perfect snow friends. 438 00:27:19,980 --> 00:27:23,320 I know we'll just drink wine and wait for you guys to get off the slopes. 439 00:27:23,350 --> 00:27:26,410 It's perfect. Well, McDreamy takes the kids skiing 440 00:27:26,410 --> 00:27:32,200 all day now and I. What do I do? Hang out. So it's not a bad gig. 441 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,740 So shred-head. Here we go. So it's nice and cloudy. So. 442 00:27:35,770 --> 00:27:39,160 Oh, sorry. It's it's an a New England Hazy IPA, 443 00:27:39,190 --> 00:27:43,450 5.2 ABV. Um, so it's not, like, 444 00:27:43,810 --> 00:27:48,460 not real high. Quite sessionable. Yeah, totally. Much smarter than me. 445 00:27:48,490 --> 00:27:51,400 Well, for me, 5.2, I'm already getting a little rosy, 446 00:27:51,430 --> 00:27:58,300 you know, um, it's got 411 check ins. 4.0 on on tap though, so it's nice. 447 00:27:58,300 --> 00:28:01,720 Real nice and solid there. Straight A's, it says. 448 00:28:01,870 --> 00:28:06,310 And it's from Camp Hill, PA so somewhere in Pennsylvania it 449 00:28:06,310 --> 00:28:09,790 says this petite New England IPA is a collaboration with our friends from 450 00:28:09,790 --> 00:28:13,240 Gilson, crafted for those who want to enjoy more than a couple while 451 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,290 partaking in their favorite winter activities, don't let its smaller 452 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,240 ABV fool you see rosy cheeked. This beer is packed with hop oil 453 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,700 and bursting with aromas of Orange Julius passion fruit, 454 00:28:23,730 --> 00:28:27,660 freshly peeled persimmon. Maybe that's what it is. Persimmon. 455 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,620 So it's nice and kind of cloudy and it had a super fluffy head on top, 456 00:28:31,620 --> 00:28:33,720 so. I have I wanted to comment on it 457 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,820 earlier. I saw the beer and I wanted to 458 00:28:35,820 --> 00:28:39,690 tell you I loved how it looked. Yeah, it's a nice looking beer. 459 00:28:39,690 --> 00:28:44,040 And great. Beer. Even better glass. Yeah, the glass is beer. Nerd glass. 460 00:28:44,070 --> 00:28:46,590 Yeah, I think you can find that on craft beer. 461 00:28:46,620 --> 00:28:49,950 Republic.com or something of the likes that says beer nerd. Yeah. 462 00:28:50,550 --> 00:28:52,800 Um. Super rad. Would you give me one of those? 463 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,570 You don't even have one of your own. The shoemaker has I destroyed it? 464 00:28:57,570 --> 00:29:00,030 I need a new one. Oh, that's right, you put yours 465 00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:03,690 in the dishwasher too many times. Um, anyways, yeah. 466 00:29:03,690 --> 00:29:10,830 So kind of citrusy. I'm gonna dig in. I've never seen persimmon on a. 467 00:29:10,860 --> 00:29:14,550 Yeah. Beer note. I don't think I could pull it out of 468 00:29:14,550 --> 00:29:16,650 something either and really say, oh, that's persimmon. 469 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:21,130 I mean, it's kind of a. Found it. Had maybe one in my life, so. 470 00:29:21,820 --> 00:29:23,590 Well, they look too much like tomatoes 471 00:29:23,590 --> 00:29:29,110 for me to ever want to try it. You don't do tomatoes, so they're 472 00:29:29,110 --> 00:29:31,930 just like disguised tomatoes, huh? They're like little pumpkins. 473 00:29:31,930 --> 00:29:34,570 They're so cute. They're not that cute. 474 00:29:34,570 --> 00:29:38,710 They rot quick, do they? Okay, well, Mr. Negative, 475 00:29:38,740 --> 00:29:44,980 former produce guy. My beer is delicious. It has, um. 476 00:29:44,980 --> 00:29:48,430 It's kind of a passion fruit. I can I can taste the passion fruit. 477 00:29:48,460 --> 00:29:52,120 It's got a nice kind of milkiness creaminess to it. Um. 478 00:29:52,150 --> 00:29:55,060 Smooth mouth. Yeah, I love it. This is definitely the four point. 479 00:29:55,090 --> 00:29:59,410 Oh that it it, uh, boasts. So, so far my beer wins. 480 00:29:59,590 --> 00:30:03,070 And, uh, great start for evergreen. I think he sent me four of them. 481 00:30:03,070 --> 00:30:05,350 So if they're all like this, I am hooked up. 482 00:30:05,380 --> 00:30:09,400 It's all downhill from here. I know he he evergreen is his go to 483 00:30:09,430 --> 00:30:13,570 out there. I know that for a fact. Um, made. By Amish people. Yeah. 484 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,850 The price point out there, like his double IPAs he gets out. 485 00:30:17,850 --> 00:30:22,890 There are like around 13.99. A four pack. What? What, like. 486 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,040 Yeah, like of evergreen. Like they're stupid. Like 13.99. 487 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,790 14.99. Shit like that. It's like one beer in San Francisco. 488 00:30:29,820 --> 00:30:32,250 That's impressive. I might have to have, like, 489 00:30:32,310 --> 00:30:36,270 dang in the box he sent me. I have never had someone pack a 490 00:30:36,270 --> 00:30:40,680 box that heavy or, like, full. It was impressive how much he got in 491 00:30:40,710 --> 00:30:43,980 there without the cans exploding. So, um, yeah, I'm excited to 492 00:30:43,980 --> 00:30:46,020 have three more of these. And then New Trail, 493 00:30:46,020 --> 00:30:48,510 I think was the other one. Yes, that's the other big one 494 00:30:48,540 --> 00:30:52,350 around there. Yeah. So thank you. Shred this rocks. 495 00:30:52,470 --> 00:30:56,370 Um, and it's called Shred Head. So I think that's kind of 496 00:30:56,370 --> 00:30:58,620 appropriate. He's probably got cases of it in his 497 00:30:58,620 --> 00:31:02,550 basement. It's got my name on it. He probably does. And it's delicious. 498 00:31:02,550 --> 00:31:06,600 So I would. Smart. Nice. Oh it doesn't have the double D 499 00:31:06,630 --> 00:31:09,060 though. He's got that extra D you know. 500 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:15,720 Got that extra d all right. Extra d. So many jokes. All right. 501 00:31:15,750 --> 00:31:18,610 Before we, uh, get ourselves in trouble, let's check in with the 502 00:31:18,610 --> 00:31:22,390 homie Chew Your Beer. Okay. Hello?

We love LA beer. 534 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,620 It's phenomenal if you like a hoppy, hoppy lager. 535 00:33:27,650 --> 00:33:31,040 They call it a cold IPA, but we both know we, all three of us know 536 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,370 that it's an IPO. God damn right. Indian pale lager, homie. 537 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,610 Delicious, bro. I had four back to back to back 538 00:33:37,610 --> 00:33:42,350 because they were going down so fucking deliciously down my throat. 539 00:33:42,590 --> 00:33:45,470 Yes sir.

I think they said they got two 542 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,130 kegs left, so that's a fucking Hail Mary for me, 543 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,220 homie. I think that's about it. If I got anything. 544 00:33:58,250 --> 00:34:00,290 Oh, I'll be at the fucking L.A. marathon. 545 00:34:00,290 --> 00:34:03,230 No, I ain't fucking running.

I think this this guy doesn't 555 00:34:37,740 --> 00:34:39,840 stop fucking running. So why do I need to run? 556 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,290 He's running for me and him, homie.

Happy birthday. Birthday bottle. 575 00:35:45,620 --> 00:35:49,370 So I messaged him Feliz cumpleanos. You know, 576 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:53,780 happy birthday in Spanish. Yes. And it autocorrected to Felix 577 00:35:53,810 --> 00:35:57,020 Cumpleanos. I was like, that's the perfect 578 00:35:57,050 --> 00:36:01,670 fucking what? Gringo white boy. Yeah. So anyways, so happy birthday. 579 00:36:01,670 --> 00:36:05,570 I would like to defend myself, if I may. 580 00:36:05,780 --> 00:36:09,940 Uh, he said he invited me out to Glendale taps. I was like, fuck! 581 00:36:09,970 --> 00:36:12,160 I don't remember that. But that's not surprising because 582 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:16,480 I don't remember most things. But then I went through my messages, 583 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:21,700 both my text messages and my DMs, and I actually don't see an 584 00:36:21,700 --> 00:36:24,400 invite from the homie Chew Your Beer to Glendale Taps. 585 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:29,920 And I was like, okay, maybe he meant to invite me or I'm missing it on a 586 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:34,420 third platform that he invited me on. But I was like, I don't see anything. 587 00:36:34,420 --> 00:36:36,220 Which made me feel much better because I was like, fuck, 588 00:36:36,220 --> 00:36:39,700 did I did I totally forget that he invited me or whatever? 589 00:36:39,700 --> 00:36:44,800 So anyways, I don't I don't think I got the invite. Yeah. Busted. 590 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,170 Chew yeah, I got lost in the mail or something. 591 00:36:47,710 --> 00:36:49,540 Um. What else? Oh, Lagerville. Yeah, 592 00:36:49,540 --> 00:36:51,280 he was hitting me up the other day. He's like, hey, I'm going to 593 00:36:51,310 --> 00:36:54,040 Lagerville. You should come out. And I was like, no, uh, 594 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,280 we went to Lagerville last year. I mean, we've been a few times now. 595 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:03,130 Last year was an absolute shit show. It was pouring rain. 596 00:37:03,130 --> 00:37:06,610 And while the rain is not the fault of the event, 597 00:37:06,610 --> 00:37:11,030 put her honors big mountain. They did a horrible job of 598 00:37:11,030 --> 00:37:13,370 handling it. First of all, the bigger it gets, 599 00:37:13,370 --> 00:37:15,140 the worse it gets. And that sounds like, oh, 600 00:37:15,170 --> 00:37:17,330 you sold out. No, they just don't handle crowds. 601 00:37:17,330 --> 00:37:20,870 Well, they're not set up for it. Their little brewery in Buellton 602 00:37:20,870 --> 00:37:25,400 and they're not set up well to to handle the crowds and the rain. 603 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,100 They said, oh, it's going to they emailed before the event, hey, 604 00:37:28,100 --> 00:37:29,630 it's going to rain this weekend. We know it. 605 00:37:29,660 --> 00:37:31,550 We've gotten more tents for the event. 606 00:37:31,550 --> 00:37:34,580 Well, there was less tents there than the year before, so I don't know 607 00:37:34,580 --> 00:37:37,640 where all those more tents ended up, but that was a bunch of shit. 608 00:37:37,670 --> 00:37:42,290 They had people like booths out in the mud. It was a fucking shit show. 609 00:37:42,290 --> 00:37:45,530 It was an absolute downpour. They could have done things to 610 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,600 mitigate, you know, keep everybody out in the street, 611 00:37:47,630 --> 00:37:50,150 that kind of stuff. It was it was awful. 612 00:37:50,150 --> 00:37:53,330 They handled it so poorly that this year I was like, no, 613 00:37:53,330 --> 00:37:55,970 we're not going. And coli. Nick and coli were trying to get 614 00:37:55,970 --> 00:37:58,700 us to go to. And I was like, no, we're not going. 615 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,520 And then halfway through their ticket sales, they sent out an 616 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,580 email that said, like, hey, did you weather the storm with us 617 00:38:04,580 --> 00:38:08,520 last year? Use this code for $10 off. I'm like, oh, so your tickets 618 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,830 weren't selling very well, so you decided to use last 619 00:38:10,830 --> 00:38:14,970 year's show as an excuse to give people a discount? I'm over it. 620 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,730 It was good in the beginning, and they're not even inviting good. 621 00:38:17,910 --> 00:38:20,940 First of all, they invited 14 cannons out to 622 00:38:21,030 --> 00:38:23,130 talk to a fucking lager festival. First of all, 623 00:38:23,130 --> 00:38:26,610 14 cannons can suck it now. Also, they're they're not known 624 00:38:26,610 --> 00:38:28,710 for their lagers. Even before, they weren't even 625 00:38:28,710 --> 00:38:31,410 that known for their lagers. Now they're really not known for 626 00:38:31,410 --> 00:38:35,610 even having good beer. Um, side note I, a couple of friends 627 00:38:35,610 --> 00:38:38,490 went recently like very recently just to see what it was like. 628 00:38:38,490 --> 00:38:41,430 Now they're like, the inside is actually not bad. 629 00:38:41,460 --> 00:38:44,190 Like they've rearranged everything. And they said, actually it's got 630 00:38:44,190 --> 00:38:46,230 a better flow to it. There's more seating and this and 631 00:38:46,230 --> 00:38:51,270 that. The beer, they got two flights. All of it was undrinkable. 632 00:38:51,300 --> 00:38:55,260 They did not finish any taster they had on either of their flights. 633 00:38:55,290 --> 00:38:59,190 Terrible. That's insane. So you're gonna invite 14 cannons 634 00:38:59,190 --> 00:39:03,390 out, but not good breweries like Knotty Pine. I'm not about that. 635 00:39:03,420 --> 00:39:06,680 It's just. I'm over Lagerville. They were cool in the beginning 636 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,290 and they kind of suck now. So there's that. 637 00:39:09,290 --> 00:39:12,350 And shout out to Marv. I hope he did good at the LA 638 00:39:12,380 --> 00:39:16,160 marathon. On a happy note. On a happy note. So he was trying. 639 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,100 So you got to come out with me. I was like, not only I was offered 640 00:39:19,100 --> 00:39:21,500 free tickets, I was like, not only am I not taking the free tickets, 641 00:39:21,530 --> 00:39:24,950 like, I'm certainly not going to pay. Yeah, I'm not gonna, you know, 642 00:39:24,980 --> 00:39:27,830 it's a two hour drive for me. I'm not going to pay the money 643 00:39:27,830 --> 00:39:31,580 to stay out there for a pretty not that great beer festival. 644 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:32,840 It's just not worth. He's like, oh, 645 00:39:32,870 --> 00:39:35,330 I'm driving back the same day. I was like, well, you're an insane 646 00:39:35,330 --> 00:39:39,290 person. I'm not. Driving. No. Yeah. He's like, you just go hard the 647 00:39:39,290 --> 00:39:42,050 first two hours and then you stop, have dinner and go home. 648 00:39:42,050 --> 00:39:47,240 I was like, that's how you get a DUI? Yeah. Terrible idea. Yeah. 649 00:39:47,270 --> 00:39:49,250 Oh, it's just lagers. How drunk can you get? 650 00:39:49,250 --> 00:39:51,710 I don't know, ask me. The last few years I got pretty 651 00:39:51,740 --> 00:39:54,650 drunk. Keep drinking any kind of alcohol, 652 00:39:54,650 --> 00:39:58,280 you're gonna get pretty drunk, right? Yeah. I don't care if it's 5% enough. 653 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,820 5% will make you drunk, right? Unlimited pours doesn't really 654 00:40:01,820 --> 00:40:06,130 matter. Yeah, so I'm not going. I won't even take the free tickets, 655 00:40:06,130 --> 00:40:09,190 so I wish, I hope Lagerville gets better. 656 00:40:09,190 --> 00:40:11,740 I hope I get some report from somebody this year that they've 657 00:40:11,770 --> 00:40:14,830 cleaned up their act and they don't suck anymore, but, uh, we'll see. 658 00:40:14,830 --> 00:40:19,870 So, um. Anyways. 805538 beer. Now that we've alienated, like, 659 00:40:19,900 --> 00:40:23,890 two different breweries. Yeah, whatever. Yeah. 660 00:40:24,070 --> 00:40:26,830 This is how we we end the show eventually is we just talk shit about 661 00:40:26,830 --> 00:40:30,640 every brewery in West Virginia. Every.

But they put it in. 673 00:41:10,700 --> 00:41:13,250 Writing a full report. They put it right in there in 674 00:41:13,250 --> 00:41:16,310 the general admission tickets, unlimited ice cream and sweet treats. 675 00:41:16,310 --> 00:41:20,960 So I'm very excited to see all the ice cream flavors that they have 676 00:41:20,990 --> 00:41:26,840 and everything they offer. And hey. Wife. I'm gonna go. To Chicago. Yeah. 677 00:41:27,350 --> 00:41:29,750 Who's gonna put down some poundage?

But like, my kids don't enjoy soda. 683 00:41:49,430 --> 00:41:53,690 They don't. That's good. They don't enjoy. Soda. Juice. 684 00:41:53,720 --> 00:41:57,530 You know, like stuff like that. They like candy. It's normal. Yeah. 685 00:41:57,770 --> 00:42:02,320 Uh, yeah. All the other stuff. So you're more excited than they 686 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,440 are about the.

My wife actually was looking up 689 00:42:11,380 --> 00:42:13,810 some of the flavors. Allegedly, they have a hot dog 690 00:42:13,810 --> 00:42:16,270 flavored ice cream. I'm out. Oh, no. No, no. I'm. 691 00:42:16,300 --> 00:42:20,260 Oh, I'm 100% going to try it. I mean, would I try, like, a sample? 692 00:42:20,290 --> 00:42:24,040 Like a little spoon? Sure. Yeah. I'm not saying a whole scoop. Yeah. 693 00:42:24,070 --> 00:42:27,160 Don't give me a fucking hot dog flavored sundae, please. 694 00:42:27,670 --> 00:42:30,070 But what if it's great? It makes me sick. Yeah. 695 00:42:30,250 --> 00:42:32,590 There's no way it's great. I can't, I can't. 696 00:42:32,770 --> 00:42:35,290 The fact that it's not. I can't wait to report back. 697 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,770 I can't wait to go to Chicago now. I should have done that with our 698 00:42:38,770 --> 00:42:42,580 frequent flyer or whatever we had earlier this year. Companion pass. 699 00:42:42,820 --> 00:42:47,230 There you go. With a Texas instead. What idiots! You had a good time. Oh. 700 00:42:47,230 --> 00:42:51,280 He did? Yeah. Smoked meats. Come on. Yeah, I smoked some meats and 701 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,280 then ate some meats and. Anywho. All right, 702 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:58,300 before we roll into some news. And I get harder from all the ice 703 00:42:58,300 --> 00:43:00,890 cream talk, let's find out what Flex is drinking over there. 704 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:06,710 In a world where craft beer is king, a world where muscles are bigger 705 00:43:06,710 --> 00:43:10,250 than growlers, only one tongue can guide us. 706 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:15,620 One man, one tongue, one Tongue-jobber. 707 00:43:15,980 --> 00:43:24,590 In this world, we must find out what is Flex drinking? What is Flex doing? 708 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,910 I was licking my microphone like it was ice cream. Yeah. 709 00:43:28,910 --> 00:43:35,930 That's it. Got him. I mean. Maybe it was a hot dog. 710 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:41,720 Oh, yeah, it could have been. Um, I don't discriminate. 711 00:43:41,810 --> 00:43:46,970 Uh, today I am drinking Phase Three Brewing's, uh, Citra cream. 712 00:43:46,970 --> 00:43:49,040 They have little, uh, or cream. I'm sorry. 713 00:43:49,700 --> 00:43:55,430 This is a little, uh, series that they do. It's a cream series. 714 00:43:55,610 --> 00:43:58,250 Often with some fun. Cannot they switched all their. 715 00:43:58,270 --> 00:44:02,170 cannot. Yeah. It's like a year ago. Well, no. This one. 716 00:44:02,170 --> 00:44:05,620 This is the same for the series. Is it? Yeah. Yes. 717 00:44:05,650 --> 00:44:10,150 Um, so I was pleased with that. I don't like the new can art style. 718 00:44:10,570 --> 00:44:14,380 Uh, so this is refreshing. Uh, this is one of my all time 719 00:44:14,380 --> 00:44:18,100 favorite beers. I have it rated as a five on 720 00:44:18,100 --> 00:44:24,190 untapped. Wow. It is, uh, 7.7 double IPA, 721 00:44:24,220 --> 00:44:30,700 4.2 thousand check ins, and is a cumulative 4.26 on the on 722 00:44:30,700 --> 00:44:36,310 the old charts there. Good lord. Untapped reads sit Your Cream 723 00:44:36,310 --> 00:44:41,410 features a double dry hopping of tasty Citra hops on our 7.7% double 724 00:44:41,410 --> 00:44:45,490 IPA base, loaded up with oats and a splash of characteristic 725 00:44:45,490 --> 00:44:50,470 milk sugar that makes this one oh so lush and creamy. Yum. 726 00:44:50,500 --> 00:44:58,110 Daddy like it? Creamy. Um. Damn it. So what they did on this cam, 727 00:44:58,140 --> 00:45:02,010 though, is they've been putting brewer's notes and whatnot. 728 00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,250 So this one just says Creamy tropical smoothie. 729 00:45:05,370 --> 00:45:09,240 Um, hops, obviously just Citra. So the old schnoz. 730 00:45:09,270 --> 00:45:13,110 I feel like you haven't really had phase three as much as you used to. 731 00:45:13,140 --> 00:45:18,000 No, because they were really good for about four years. Okay. 732 00:45:18,030 --> 00:45:25,140 But 2019 to 2023. And then they had a huge 733 00:45:25,140 --> 00:45:28,680 downfall in 2023. And then I had did some 734 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:33,480 investigating. They lost their head Brewer. 735 00:45:33,540 --> 00:45:38,910 Then they lost two other brewers while they were opening up a 736 00:45:38,910 --> 00:45:45,030 second location in mass producing. So everything kind of went downhill 737 00:45:45,030 --> 00:45:51,630 for a while and I started drinking them a little bit, uh, late 2024. 738 00:45:52,650 --> 00:45:54,990 And I could tell things were getting back to normal. 739 00:45:55,020 --> 00:45:59,860 It was It's pretty recent. Yeah. So I've been getting back into 740 00:45:59,860 --> 00:46:02,260 it a little bit. Usually when I can't find something 741 00:46:02,260 --> 00:46:06,760 different enough that I want to try, I'll revert back to this now. 742 00:46:07,420 --> 00:46:10,930 So on the schnoz. They're not wrong about the 743 00:46:10,930 --> 00:46:14,350 tropical smoothie. It's gorgeous beer, by the way. 744 00:46:14,380 --> 00:46:18,130 Oh, hey. Thanks. Yeah, it's. I mean, that's the oats and the milk. 745 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:22,300 Sugar really helps with that. The old, the old. I like the. 746 00:46:22,300 --> 00:46:25,960 Way you know. Damn it. Didn't I just say oats? I don't know. 747 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:30,790 No you. Didn't. You slipped. Whoop. Now I kicked my computer. 748 00:46:30,940 --> 00:46:35,170 Well, notes are going. Tons of pineapple. Mango. 749 00:46:35,170 --> 00:46:40,480 And you get, like, this passion fruit on the back end. No persimmon. 750 00:46:42,250 --> 00:46:47,050 Uh, fresh out of persimmon. Little tomato in there, too. It's. 751 00:46:47,050 --> 00:46:49,420 It's tropical, but not that exotic, I guess. 752 00:46:49,420 --> 00:46:56,130 So I'm the old. Uh Tongue-jobber. As we warm that up. Mhm. 753 00:46:56,610 --> 00:46:58,650 I mean the mouthfeel of this beer is insane. 754 00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:07,050 It's almost like air but like thick, pillowy soft air. Cloud. 755 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:11,280 Like you're eating a cloud. It's insane. Cloud guzzling. 756 00:47:11,310 --> 00:47:15,390 And the flavors kind of follow suit. You know. I don't know. 757 00:47:15,420 --> 00:47:19,080 Pineapple, mango. Not, uh, not so much passion 758 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,830 fruit on the palate. All right. Uh, and you definitely get some 759 00:47:22,830 --> 00:47:29,670 sweetness. Uh, that milk. Sugar. Just fucking fantastic. Nice. 760 00:47:29,700 --> 00:47:37,320 I if I was, uh, Mr. Deeds and I inherited my great uncle's billion 761 00:47:37,350 --> 00:47:41,580 dollar fortune, and my uncle had fruit punch running through his 762 00:47:41,610 --> 00:47:45,750 water fountains as bubblers, we call them bubblers in Wisconsin. Okay. 763 00:47:45,930 --> 00:47:49,050 Um, I would fucking make this run through my bubblers. 764 00:47:50,220 --> 00:47:54,320 So whenever I was thirsty, I would just bend down, push the button, 765 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:58,520 and I'd just fucking drink this shit down. Right on down. All right. 766 00:47:58,550 --> 00:48:02,150 Yeah. What was the ABV on that? Seven. Seven. All right. 767 00:48:02,150 --> 00:48:04,490 You're walking around the steady buzz at all times, I love it. 768 00:48:05,150 --> 00:48:07,670 I would have it no other way if I was a billionaire. Yeah. 769 00:48:07,700 --> 00:48:11,120 I mean, if I'm a billionaire and I'm not working anymore. Bye bye. 770 00:48:11,150 --> 00:48:16,130 Sobriety. Oh, yeah. Right. Can't get hungover if you don't 771 00:48:16,130 --> 00:48:19,070 sober up. Walk around with backpacks and a 772 00:48:19,100 --> 00:48:24,170 straw thing. Oh, yeah. Camelback and. Camelback. Yeah. Yeah. Perfect. 773 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,060 No matter where you go. It would be wonderful. 774 00:48:26,090 --> 00:48:29,390 Yeah, it would be nice. Perfect. Well, some more good news for you. 775 00:48:29,540 --> 00:48:31,130 Oh, I like good news. Did you hear that? 776 00:48:31,130 --> 00:48:35,240 MobCraft brewery is going to reopen. What? No I didn't. 777 00:48:35,510 --> 00:48:40,070 Yeah, they announced it today as we record the show. No kidding. 778 00:48:40,100 --> 00:48:44,090 Yeah. They're going to reopen. It's going to be the former director 779 00:48:44,090 --> 00:48:48,500 of finance and Human Service resources. Her and her husband. 780 00:48:48,530 --> 00:48:51,290 It's Sarah and Mike Halsted. They're reopening the brewery. 781 00:48:51,290 --> 00:48:55,500 The deal closed on Friday, and they're hoping to open by spring. 782 00:48:55,530 --> 00:48:59,760 No shit. Yeah. I'm curious on details. 783 00:49:00,450 --> 00:49:03,630 What kind of details? How much they got it for? 784 00:49:03,660 --> 00:49:08,820 Oh, uh, 160 grand. That was it. Yeah. Hard assets and intellectual 785 00:49:08,820 --> 00:49:14,130 property. Wow. 160. They still got to rent the place. 786 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,070 Uh, they don't own it so that, you know, no real estate, 787 00:49:17,550 --> 00:49:23,100 but the equipment. So interesting. Yeah. 160 grand. 788 00:49:23,130 --> 00:49:26,250 And you got a turnkey brewery. That's not bad. I'll tell you what. 789 00:49:26,250 --> 00:49:30,570 I really hope that they, uh, can turn out a little bit better. Beer? 790 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,450 Yeah, I remember you were saying that beer, especially towards the end, 791 00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:37,980 was, uh, to be desired. I've never met a brewery that, uh, 792 00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:43,110 I've never been to a brewery that didn't know how to brew an IPA. 793 00:49:44,190 --> 00:49:48,720 I've been to a couple. Like it, uh, just blew my mind. Mhm. 794 00:49:49,900 --> 00:49:52,300 Which is hilarious because like IPAs are fuck up beers, 795 00:49:53,380 --> 00:49:54,970 you fuck up a beer, you throw a bunch of hops in it, 796 00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,690 right? Essentially. Yeah, absolutely. And they just, you know, they just 797 00:49:58,690 --> 00:50:01,330 couldn't figure it out. Yeah. Didn't they have like, a little bit 798 00:50:01,330 --> 00:50:04,150 of, like a beer fest or some sort of thing that you went to at there? 799 00:50:04,180 --> 00:50:08,860 They would have like at least three annual beer fests a year. Okay. 800 00:50:08,890 --> 00:50:11,830 They would have their sour fests there, stout Fest and then their 801 00:50:11,860 --> 00:50:16,060 anniversary party every year was called Weird Fest, which is when 802 00:50:16,180 --> 00:50:20,140 they would brew the weird beers like the we had the sushi roll beer. 803 00:50:20,140 --> 00:50:23,350 We had the Chicago style hot dog beer. 804 00:50:23,620 --> 00:50:27,280 Uh, hot dogs theme of the night. That's right. Yeah. It was. 805 00:50:27,310 --> 00:50:30,010 Yeah, really, really fun out there stuff. 806 00:50:30,010 --> 00:50:33,490 And they had an outstanding sour program. 807 00:50:33,790 --> 00:50:37,510 But, uh, yeah, you know, things happen. Yeah. Okay. 808 00:50:37,540 --> 00:50:40,060 So I guess excited. Excited to see what happens. 809 00:50:40,150 --> 00:50:43,630 Yeah. We'll see how it goes. You'll have to go report for us. 810 00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:50,670 Uh Moosehead. Brewing has released. And subsequently sold out of 811 00:50:50,670 --> 00:50:56,010 their presidential pack due to the impending tariffs going 812 00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:59,400 towards Canada. Moosehead brewing created a 813 00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:04,800 presidential pack, which was a crate of 1461 beers, 814 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,340 which the brewery said amounts to a beer a day for the next four years. 815 00:51:08,340 --> 00:51:12,840 To which I say, that's not enough beer one a day. 816 00:51:13,290 --> 00:51:22,320 Well, yeah, right. Yeah. How much did that cost? 2,467 CAD. 817 00:51:24,330 --> 00:51:26,220 I did not do the math on that. Yeah, I. Know. 818 00:51:26,250 --> 00:51:31,710 I was sitting there trying to think. It's like 2000 American dollars. 819 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:36,450 Let's see. 1 CAD is $0.70. Oh, 820 00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:43,260 that's actually a pretty good deal. So let's see. 1461 is $1,020 for 14. 821 00:51:43,260 --> 00:51:47,330 So less than a dollar a beer. Wow. Not bad. 822 00:51:47,540 --> 00:51:51,380 Okay, but I checked today before we recorded. It has sold out. 823 00:51:51,410 --> 00:51:53,540 Yeah. There you have it. Good for Moosehead. 824 00:51:53,570 --> 00:51:57,770 But what happened to the body? Excuse me. 825 00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:02,090 You sound like an old smoker. Don't make me laugh. Sorry. 826 00:52:02,300 --> 00:52:05,300 Uh, and then finally, uh, Delirium is sending a ton of 827 00:52:05,330 --> 00:52:09,080 beers over to the US for the same reason before the tariffs kick in. 828 00:52:09,110 --> 00:52:14,390 They have sent 20 containers, good for about 300,000l of 829 00:52:14,390 --> 00:52:17,840 Delirium in bottles. And they are going to leave this 830 00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,840 week on a ship. They said it's already one of the 831 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:24,140 most expensive beers on sale in the US, and if we have to triple 832 00:52:24,140 --> 00:52:26,780 your price, I'm pretty sure no one's going to buy it anymore. 833 00:52:26,780 --> 00:52:30,980 So they're sending over a bunch in hopes to get us through a little bit. 834 00:52:31,490 --> 00:52:34,430 When was the last time you had a Delirium? That's the thing. 835 00:52:34,430 --> 00:52:37,160 It's been a hot minute since I had Delirium. 836 00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:40,370 Like, I feel like it was cool, like 13 years ago. 837 00:52:40,610 --> 00:52:45,110 Well, it was cool before everyone had local craft beer, right? Yeah. 838 00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:48,540 So, like, are you a fan of Delirium years ago? No I'm not. 839 00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,360 It's not my style of beer. The meaning? 840 00:52:51,420 --> 00:52:55,290 The name behind it is cool, but, um. The elephant is cool. 841 00:52:55,500 --> 00:52:57,150 The pink elephant? Yeah, the pink elephant. 842 00:52:57,180 --> 00:52:59,790 And the what? The dt's are like when you're, 843 00:53:00,060 --> 00:53:04,890 um, coming out of drinking and you're like, stop drinking. 844 00:53:04,890 --> 00:53:07,800 And you're going through withdrawal and Delirium Tremens. 845 00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:10,560 But, like, I don't know. No. Never was a fan of that one. 846 00:53:10,590 --> 00:53:14,580 Um, but I see why they're doing it, I guess. But yeah. 847 00:53:14,610 --> 00:53:17,820 I got a buddy who's a big fan of that beer, and really, he always. 848 00:53:17,850 --> 00:53:20,610 And he kind of thought, because I'm into beer. Like, I love it too. 849 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,040 So he'd always buy me. He's like, hey, I got you Delirium. 850 00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:26,340 I'm like, oh, thanks. I got this now. All right. Yeah. 851 00:53:26,370 --> 00:53:31,950 Cool. Thanks. Yay! Yay! Very nice. It's the thought that counts. 852 00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,440 Absolutely. And I never said shit. I hope he doesn't listen to the show 853 00:53:34,470 --> 00:53:40,020 now, because now he knows what a jerk I am. Uh, we'll end it on this one. 854 00:53:40,110 --> 00:53:43,380 Uh, Vanessa sent this in, so. Hi, Vanessa. Oh. Hello, Vanessa. 855 00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:47,090 Drunk.

It on the headline. 858 00:53:53,930 --> 00:53:58,880 He had the urine contained. Well, here we go. Arvin. 859 00:53:58,910 --> 00:54:02,870 Oh, my God, what kind of last name is this? Soleimanpour. 860 00:54:03,530 --> 00:54:08,510 29 walked into Pink Pony showgirls and intentionally set it on fire, 861 00:54:08,510 --> 00:54:11,180 according to a release from the Tampa Police Department. 862 00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:16,550 Witnesses told someone fired a gun multiple times inside the 863 00:54:16,550 --> 00:54:19,610 unoccupied building. Officers took him into custody 864 00:54:19,610 --> 00:54:23,510 as he was dragging brush into the burning building. No shit. 865 00:54:23,540 --> 00:54:28,160 That's fucking hilarious. It's not hilarious, but that is 866 00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:32,720 hilarious. It's very Florida. Police said he was found with a 867 00:54:32,750 --> 00:54:35,720 handgun while in the TPD district office. 868 00:54:35,720 --> 00:54:40,010 He was accused of urinating in a water bottle and throwing the 869 00:54:40,010 --> 00:54:43,650 contents at an officer. He was charged with arson with 870 00:54:43,650 --> 00:54:45,270 injury. Shooting at, 871 00:54:45,270 --> 00:54:48,870 within or into a building. Possession of a weapon during 872 00:54:48,870 --> 00:54:52,440 the commission of a felony. Battery on a law enforcement officer 873 00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,770 and felony criminal mischief. Oh my gosh. 874 00:54:55,770 --> 00:54:59,010 And you know, when they asked him to leave, he was you know what he said? 875 00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,590 What did he say? I'm going to keep on dancing at 876 00:55:01,590 --> 00:55:05,970 the Pink Pony Club. That's exactly what he said. 877 00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:10,440 Right. That's the song. This is super solid track club. 878 00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:18,480 So, yes. He's a pink pony girl. He really. Is. Just going to. 879 00:55:20,010 --> 00:55:25,620 How do you. I don't know. I get, you know, let me just start 880 00:55:25,620 --> 00:55:31,920 this by saying I'm not an arsonist. Not yet. So for somebody to. 881 00:55:31,950 --> 00:55:37,170 Walk into a building and just try to start it on fire right away. 882 00:55:37,860 --> 00:55:41,930 How does one do this? Is it just a lighter to the carpet. 883 00:55:41,930 --> 00:55:44,360 Is it? Yeah, I don't know. Are you lighter fluid? 884 00:55:44,390 --> 00:55:48,590 Bringing in fluid. Gasoline, something. 885 00:55:49,340 --> 00:55:52,310 How does one just enter a building and immediately try to 886 00:55:52,340 --> 00:55:54,530 set it on fire? Well, I like that it wasn't burning 887 00:55:54,530 --> 00:55:58,220 enough, so he was bringing in brush. But you know what? 888 00:55:58,250 --> 00:56:01,190 Not enough fire in here. The fire still had to been 889 00:56:01,190 --> 00:56:04,940 stable and big enough for him to take time to go out. Oh, yeah. 890 00:56:04,970 --> 00:56:09,470 Get brush and drag it. Amazing. But, yeah, you know, nobody's 891 00:56:09,470 --> 00:56:13,490 stopping him in the meantime. Going out to get the brush. Yeah. 892 00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,430 And, you know, whatever he said on fire, the drapes. 893 00:56:16,460 --> 00:56:18,830 You know, something flammable. And he's like, you know what? 894 00:56:19,070 --> 00:56:23,600 Not enough. I'll get some brush. Need some woodsy smell up in 895 00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:28,190 this bitch. That's the most Florida shit ever. 896 00:56:28,190 --> 00:56:30,950 Thank you. Vanessa. It's so perfect. Interesting. Yeah. 897 00:56:31,340 --> 00:56:32,990 Terrible for the Pink Pony strip club. 898 00:56:32,990 --> 00:56:37,340 I hope all the strippers are okay. Yeah. Sorry, ladies. Oh.
