I am Greg, and I am being joined 4 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,000 by the best smelling Royal Rumble winner this side of the Mississippi. 5 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,680 And that's flex. What's up, big fella? 6 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,280 Uh, I did not win the Royal Rumble. Oh, uh. Hallelujah. 7 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,080 It is raining men up in this bitch. Whoa, whoa. 8 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,760 What kind of show are we talking about here? 9 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,520 Well, here with with our special guest today. Yes. 10 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,160 That's just what I'm referring to. I got you. Well, you're not wrong. 11 00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:50,120 It is raining men. Uh, you know, flex, you ask, 12 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,200 and you shall receive. A couple weeks ago, you mentioned we 13 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,680 need to get interim Brian on the show. And here he is in the flesh. 14 00:00:59,510 --> 00:01:03,310 The smartest beer drinker we know. Enter. Brian. What's happening? 15 00:01:03,750 --> 00:01:06,150 Oh, not too much. I'm just here to support you guys. 16 00:01:06,190 --> 00:01:09,870 See what I can do to help the team. Like a good intern does. 17 00:01:09,910 --> 00:01:11,870 He actually might be the smartest man we know. 18 00:01:12,190 --> 00:01:15,590 He's probably the smartest man we know. He's a real life lawyer. 19 00:01:15,590 --> 00:01:17,590 Not just a pretend on the podcast lawyer. 20 00:01:18,510 --> 00:01:22,270 So, uh, thanks for hanging with us. Thank you for having me. 21 00:01:22,350 --> 00:01:25,670 I have been looking forward to this day. It's been a minute. 22 00:01:25,710 --> 00:01:31,190 For for many years now. I would say at least a year. Yeah. 23 00:01:31,230 --> 00:01:34,150 Since the last time I lost a bet to flex and had to send him beer. 24 00:01:34,190 --> 00:01:37,390 Oh, yeah, that was World Cup. Yeah, yeah. 25 00:01:37,390 --> 00:01:39,070 But just so you know, you're still not getting paid for this. 26 00:01:39,070 --> 00:01:41,230 This is still an internship. Fair enough. 27 00:01:41,270 --> 00:01:45,070 Even if you've been promoted. Wait, wait, I got promoted. 28 00:01:45,110 --> 00:01:48,670 Well, to on the air intern, I guess I don't know. 29 00:01:48,870 --> 00:01:51,790 Uh, follow us on the socials at Craft Beer Republic at Flex me beer 30 00:01:51,790 --> 00:01:55,310 and Brian, smarter than all of us and doesn't have any socials, 31 00:01:55,310 --> 00:01:59,130 so don't follow him. Uh, 853. Beer. All that good shit. 32 00:01:59,130 --> 00:02:02,370 We got a lot to get to today. I've been fucking globe trotting. 33 00:02:02,410 --> 00:02:04,810 We're bringing, we're bringing, we're drinking a beer that I brought 34 00:02:04,810 --> 00:02:10,130 back and got some news to talk about. And let's just get right fucking 35 00:02:10,130 --> 00:02:11,690 into it, if you guys don't mind. 36 00:02:16,730 --> 00:02:28,370 I love my dad. Oh, I love my beer. I love my bear. I love my beer. 37 00:02:30,050 --> 00:02:33,650 I'll talk about the trip in a second. But we are drinking Wondrous 38 00:02:33,650 --> 00:02:39,050 Brewing's Gromky. It is a West Coast pilsner, 39 00:02:39,250 --> 00:02:44,970 5.7% and their big ass. Description West Coast Pilsner 40 00:02:45,010 --> 00:02:50,090 hopped with mosaic, Roca and Nelson. You tricked me on that. 41 00:02:50,090 --> 00:02:52,810 I thought it was actually going to be pretty. Pretty big description. 42 00:02:52,810 --> 00:02:54,690 No, but I love the description. Uh, 43 00:02:55,010 --> 00:02:57,520 there's one thing you know about me. It's is how much I love a good 44 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,600 fucking West coast. West Coast Pilsner. Yes! 45 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,640 I was so excited to see this on the menu. 46 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,920 Sometimes I think if you walked into a brewery and they had a hazy pale 47 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,560 and a West Coast pilsner on tap, you'd probably just blow your 48 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,320 load all over the place. I'd have to clean my pants after 49 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,360 that. Yeah. I get a lot of citrus on the schnoz. 50 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:15,960 You're so much better at this than I am. 51 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:23,080 But, like, some great fruity notes. I get that, uh, southern hemisphere 52 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,960 juicy stone fruit kind of deal. Yeah. Which is what I taste. More on yield. 53 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,520 I'm getting more of that southern hemisphere. 54 00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:36,200 I love Roca. It's so good. Underrated. Not used enough. 55 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,560 Does well in light beers like a West Coast Pils, but also does 56 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,040 well in like, a hazy IPA. Really stands up to itself. 57 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,640 Are you getting, like, a peppery note on the back end? 58 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,560 I'm kind of feeling like a little. Let's see here. 59 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,320 I can see that almost like a hint of spice on the finish. 60 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,780 Yeah, yeah. I don't know about you. I like this a lot. 61 00:03:55,940 --> 00:03:58,460 I had a few of these when I made my visit. 62 00:03:58,820 --> 00:04:00,500 I was like, I gotta bring some cans home. 63 00:04:00,940 --> 00:04:04,500 Well, they probably get better as you go along. That is for sure. 64 00:04:05,420 --> 00:04:07,820 But no, this is really good. Thanks for sharing. Absolutely. 65 00:04:08,180 --> 00:04:11,180 I was up in, uh, the Bay area, San Francisco area for some work 66 00:04:11,180 --> 00:04:13,860 last week. And so this is wondrous brewing, 67 00:04:13,860 --> 00:04:17,300 if you guys remember. I found I basically stumbled my 68 00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:19,740 way in there. I don't know, six months ago, 69 00:04:19,780 --> 00:04:23,380 happened to be staying nearby and got some cans. 70 00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:26,700 And that was the trip where I was running super late and didn't have 71 00:04:26,700 --> 00:04:29,460 time to check my bag at the airport. And you left the cans? 72 00:04:29,500 --> 00:04:33,180 The cans by the trash cans? Yeah. And I begged the TSA agent, 73 00:04:33,180 --> 00:04:36,500 please take these home and drink them. And I can't do that, sir. 74 00:04:36,540 --> 00:04:40,340 I was like, just. I'm not putting these in a trash can. 75 00:04:40,660 --> 00:04:42,540 They are sitting next to the trash can. 76 00:04:42,540 --> 00:04:45,100 You must take them home and drink them for me. 77 00:04:45,700 --> 00:04:49,020 I'm gonna choose to believe they were taken home. So what? 78 00:04:49,020 --> 00:04:50,860 I do stuff like that. I try to get something that I know 79 00:04:50,860 --> 00:04:53,890 the wife will probably not hate. So you can have like one. 80 00:04:54,130 --> 00:04:57,210 So like that was a hazy I always try to bring like a hazy or a sour. 81 00:04:57,250 --> 00:04:59,450 That's that's more her jam. They didn't have any hazy. 82 00:04:59,650 --> 00:05:01,690 In fact, they didn't even have any hazy on tap, which I was fine 83 00:05:01,690 --> 00:05:05,250 with when I was there. Um, kind. Of shocking, though. It was kind of. 84 00:05:05,410 --> 00:05:10,130 I was surprised, but they did have a couple of IPAs they had, if you count 85 00:05:10,130 --> 00:05:12,610 the pilsners and all that stuff, they probably had like six different 86 00:05:12,610 --> 00:05:16,690 lagers on the board. Wow. They had. Yeah, they had a they had a Mexican. 87 00:05:16,690 --> 00:05:20,050 They had this, they had a dark they had a bock. 88 00:05:20,090 --> 00:05:22,250 I mean I was like, Jesus Christ these guys, 89 00:05:22,250 --> 00:05:27,570 these are like real beer nerds, not haisbro beer nerds. It was fantastic. 90 00:05:28,410 --> 00:05:31,530 Beer flavored beer making a comeback? Yeah. Beer flavored beer for sure. 91 00:05:31,570 --> 00:05:35,130 There's nothing wrong with that. So, anyways, uh, I was glad I was 92 00:05:35,130 --> 00:05:37,890 able to finally get some of this shit back here and have it on the show. 93 00:05:38,330 --> 00:05:41,090 I have really enjoyed just about everything I've had from them, 94 00:05:41,090 --> 00:05:44,050 whether in the taproom or in cans, that I had to leave in the airport. 95 00:05:44,330 --> 00:05:48,010 Um, have not been disappointed. So glad to give them a nice 96 00:05:48,010 --> 00:05:50,490 little plug on the show. Hopefully it drives the millions 97 00:05:50,490 --> 00:05:53,430 and millions. So. And that's, uh, that's up in, uh. 98 00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:58,430 I believe you meant to say the millions and millions. 99 00:05:59,110 --> 00:06:02,750 There you go. Of our fans. So and, you know, that's that's 100 00:06:02,750 --> 00:06:04,430 psycho bear territory up there. And I thought. 101 00:06:04,470 --> 00:06:06,750 Like, oh, I should hit up Psycho Bear and see if he wants to meet me for a 102 00:06:06,750 --> 00:06:10,190 drink. But you didn't. Die or what? Hey, I don't want to die, B, 103 00:06:10,190 --> 00:06:13,030 I don't have any contact information for him, like he leaves. 104 00:06:13,070 --> 00:06:16,510 Voicemails. But, like, I don't. I don't have his gram or 105 00:06:16,510 --> 00:06:19,550 anything like that. So what's his gram would just be? 106 00:06:19,590 --> 00:06:21,470 Psycho bear. Maybe. Well, 107 00:06:21,510 --> 00:06:25,590 Psycho Bear doesn't need to be found. He finds you. You're not wrong. 108 00:06:25,590 --> 00:06:28,910 I'm surprised he didn't already know I was up there. So, uh. 109 00:06:28,910 --> 00:06:31,590 Anyways, Psycho Bear, we need grandmas or something so 110 00:06:31,590 --> 00:06:34,030 I can hit you up. When? When I'm up in your hood again. 111 00:06:34,030 --> 00:06:36,270 Do you think he sends telegraphs or something? 112 00:06:36,390 --> 00:06:40,230 Maybe smoke signals from the forest? He's a bear, after all. 113 00:06:41,670 --> 00:06:45,310 Uh, our friends over at Beer and Bikini hit me up, and, uh, 114 00:06:45,350 --> 00:06:47,830 a few, I don't know, months ago, I think I talked about this. 115 00:06:47,830 --> 00:06:50,380 Helped him with some podcast gear, some. Some nerd shit. 116 00:06:50,420 --> 00:06:52,700 And, you know, they've been thanking me for that. 117 00:06:52,700 --> 00:06:55,540 And they said someone hit him up and told them that their show 118 00:06:56,060 --> 00:06:58,780 quality had been sounding good. So she was just thanking me and 119 00:06:59,060 --> 00:07:01,660 she jokingly started calling me King Greg. 120 00:07:01,660 --> 00:07:03,260 And I was like, bow down to King Greg. 121 00:07:03,420 --> 00:07:08,180 And it came around to this whole, uh, King Greg and his loyal subject flex. 122 00:07:08,180 --> 00:07:11,660 And I said, nay, flex, the director of the Health ministry. 123 00:07:12,340 --> 00:07:15,780 Oh, I'll take that. Yeah, it divulged from there and 124 00:07:15,780 --> 00:07:20,100 became quite the stupid coming up of names. But I wonder if we need names. 125 00:07:20,140 --> 00:07:23,620 I mean, it's the craft beer Republic. I don't know that I want to be a 126 00:07:23,620 --> 00:07:27,020 king, but, you know, maybe. I mean, you're kind of the king. 127 00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:32,300 Head of republic. President. El presidente de republic, 128 00:07:32,860 --> 00:07:36,940 head of health ministry. Flex. Yeah. I'll be. Whatever. 129 00:07:36,940 --> 00:07:40,620 I'm not, uh, you know, very picky. Yeah. 130 00:07:40,620 --> 00:07:43,900 The only reason I shy away from that is it sounds a little too boozy. 131 00:07:44,380 --> 00:07:46,580 I don't want to be called the commissioner or some shit like that. 132 00:07:46,860 --> 00:07:50,280 It just makes me think of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure 133 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,120 when he says that, uh, he is the Earl of Preston, 134 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,720 and then he is the Duke of Ted. Uh, that's the only thing that 135 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,080 rings a bell for me. I like Duke. How about a kick ass Duke? 136 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,840 Tenacious D fans out there? I guess not. All right. 137 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,520 I know some of the tracks. Yeah. Uh, and then also, 138 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:14,760 I think this was last week, we were talking about the whole 139 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,360 ABV on cans situation. Yeah. Maybe it was two weeks ago and 140 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,160 got a lot of feedback on this. First, the drinking lawyer sent me 141 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,920 some links. Brian sent me some stuff. Um, Boris from Petals and Pints 142 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,240 sent me some stuff. Apparently this is a hot topic with 143 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,400 everybody, and I'm glad because you and I had no idea what was going on. 144 00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:38,040 No, nothing at all. Yeah, Brian sent me a shit that I had 145 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,560 to have ChatGPT read for me because it was all lawyery and nerdy. And. 146 00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:44,840 And the one thing I decided to comment on, I was like, oh, 147 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,360 I read this like this. Brian's like, nope, 148 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,630 you're 100% wrong, dumb fuck. And put me in my place in a good way. 149 00:08:51,230 --> 00:08:55,070 Cause I'm stupid. But Boris was saying that, uh, 150 00:08:55,110 --> 00:08:58,950 ABV on bottles and cans depends on if you're distributing the beer or not. 151 00:08:59,310 --> 00:09:01,750 Uh, this goes along with A-b-c laws per state, 152 00:09:01,750 --> 00:09:06,630 but the TTB signs off on all labels if they're going to be distributed, 153 00:09:06,670 --> 00:09:11,430 even self-distributed distributed. Um, the requirements for labels 154 00:09:11,630 --> 00:09:14,710 changes based on how much you produce a year. 155 00:09:14,710 --> 00:09:16,950 So Boston Beer is held to a standard that somebody like 156 00:09:16,950 --> 00:09:19,750 Petals and Pints isn't. Makes it a lot easier for smaller 157 00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:23,350 breweries to get out there and to get out there faster and to 158 00:09:23,350 --> 00:09:26,510 get through the approval process in a much shorter time versus 159 00:09:26,510 --> 00:09:31,470 the big guys. So, okay. Is that a decent summary of the 160 00:09:31,510 --> 00:09:35,790 law stuff you sent me? I think so. I think that one of the things 161 00:09:35,790 --> 00:09:38,750 that I had sent was they only have to put the ABV if it's over 162 00:09:38,750 --> 00:09:42,230 a certain threshold. I think it might be over 5% or 163 00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:44,870 something like that. Which I was surprised about because, 164 00:09:44,910 --> 00:09:47,810 you know, You know, there's a lot of lighter beers that have. 165 00:09:48,490 --> 00:09:51,130 Yeah, the ABV on them. I mean, I think it's kind of in 166 00:09:51,130 --> 00:09:55,570 line with the general public policy against overconsumption, right? 167 00:09:55,610 --> 00:09:59,250 So like, you go to a restaurant, if it's a beer that's over 8%, 168 00:09:59,250 --> 00:10:01,530 they can't give it to you in a pint. They have to give you a 169 00:10:01,530 --> 00:10:05,450 ten ounce pour or whatever. So I think that's part of the reason 170 00:10:05,450 --> 00:10:08,810 they want you to know if you're going to drink something that's high 171 00:10:08,850 --> 00:10:12,650 ABV and they don't really give a fuck if you're just crushing cause. 172 00:10:13,650 --> 00:10:16,730 You can't get drunk off a Coors Light or a MC ultra. 173 00:10:17,930 --> 00:10:20,930 It got me thinking about, you know, you go to somewhere like, say, 174 00:10:20,970 --> 00:10:23,170 B-dubs. You know, you order a beer and 175 00:10:23,170 --> 00:10:25,730 usually they'll say like, oh, do you want the small or the big? 176 00:10:25,730 --> 00:10:29,330 You want the 16 or the 22? But they would never 22 something. 177 00:10:29,330 --> 00:10:33,330 That's 10%. Right. So can they if that, you know, is a 178 00:10:33,330 --> 00:10:38,450 max of like a ten per ten ounce pour. Can they 18 ounce pour it for do. 179 00:10:38,450 --> 00:10:40,130 They even have anything that heavy there. 180 00:10:40,410 --> 00:10:43,050 Yeah I don't I doubt it I don't think they have anything that's 181 00:10:43,050 --> 00:10:46,400 better than Coors Light there. But, I mean, I think they're they're 182 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,800 IPAs are probably the highest thing. They probably they probably. Have. 183 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,120 Like a hazy little thing or something, which is around seven. 184 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,240 So I just. Went like seven. Yeah, yeah. 185 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,160 Can you, can you double up a high ABV beer like they, they don't 186 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,200 quite double, but they double up lower ABV beers. That a thing. 187 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,960 Where you can order one for you and one for Shannon. I guess. 188 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,360 Yeah. Shannon's not drinking that. It's all for me. 189 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,240 So anyways, I hope that someone answers the stuffs. 190 00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:16,160 Yeah, I do wonder if it's a state by state thing though, because, 191 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,560 uh, that beer I was drinking, I think it was a lakefront beer. 192 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:25,040 They're like the largest craft brewery in Milwaukee, and they, 193 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,000 uh, produce a shit ton and distribute a shit ton. 194 00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:31,920 So the fact that there was nothing on the the can or the 195 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,960 packaging kind of blew my mind. Yeah, I think it is state by state. 196 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,400 Like the part I was referring Greg to is the California 197 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,340 Business and Professions Code. Okay, so there's a there's a whole 198 00:11:42,340 --> 00:11:48,340 chapter on, uh, alcohol producers and distributors and lawyers, too. 199 00:11:48,380 --> 00:11:52,380 They're not the same chapter. That would be kind of weird. 200 00:11:52,420 --> 00:11:56,500 But, yeah. Kind of weird. Yeah, but, um, the language is 201 00:11:57,340 --> 00:12:01,140 difficult, at least for the layman. I feel like half of it's just 202 00:12:01,140 --> 00:12:04,500 created so that they have to hire people to read it for them. 203 00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:08,620 Yeah, that's the whole concept. Yeah. You know, just kind of obscure 204 00:12:08,620 --> 00:12:10,900 it so that the general public doesn't know what's going on or 205 00:12:10,900 --> 00:12:14,100 where to find it. Pretty. Pretty standard, 206 00:12:14,100 --> 00:12:16,420 but it keeps me employed. Something you have to learn in 207 00:12:16,420 --> 00:12:17,780 law school? Uh, actually, 208 00:12:17,780 --> 00:12:21,460 they don't really teach you a whole lot of local or state law. 209 00:12:21,460 --> 00:12:24,300 And in law school, they teach you kind of the basics of, 210 00:12:24,300 --> 00:12:28,820 like, constitutional, okay, like civil procedure, but they don't 211 00:12:28,820 --> 00:12:33,340 really teach you regular state law. But the first thing you do when 212 00:12:33,340 --> 00:12:38,020 you're working on a case is you go try to find the statute that applies. 213 00:12:38,020 --> 00:12:41,330 So whether that's family code, whether that's welfare and 214 00:12:41,330 --> 00:12:43,690 institutions, code, business and professions. 215 00:12:44,130 --> 00:12:47,250 You know, there's there's codes for everything. Government code. 216 00:12:47,850 --> 00:12:50,370 I don't want to get too nerdy about it, but basically. 217 00:12:50,370 --> 00:12:52,730 We asked you the question. And they're all free online. 218 00:12:52,730 --> 00:12:56,730 You can go to the, you know, the California State Legislature 219 00:12:56,730 --> 00:13:00,370 and you can find all your codes. And, you know, if you really 220 00:13:00,370 --> 00:13:04,770 want to lose yourself for a day, week, year, whatever, 221 00:13:05,210 --> 00:13:10,250 go check out some codes for fun. Woo! But it's like half of law school just 222 00:13:10,250 --> 00:13:13,050 figuring out how to read that shit. Yeah. Like that's what I'm saying. 223 00:13:13,890 --> 00:13:16,970 Yeah. They just teach you. I mean, they just teach you how 224 00:13:16,970 --> 00:13:19,450 to think like a lawyer. And really, 225 00:13:19,450 --> 00:13:22,170 all of law school is about one thing. It's training you to pass the 226 00:13:22,170 --> 00:13:25,610 bar because that's what makes the law school look good. 227 00:13:25,690 --> 00:13:28,210 They want the bar passage rates up, and then you pass the bar and 228 00:13:28,210 --> 00:13:31,730 then they're like, okay, good to go on your lawyering. Yeah. 229 00:13:32,130 --> 00:13:36,650 Go do lawyer things now. Yeah. Go fucking law it up already. 230 00:13:38,650 --> 00:13:41,030 I am the law. So in law school, 231 00:13:41,030 --> 00:13:45,630 you're not actually like, focusing on a specific area of practice? 232 00:13:46,510 --> 00:13:49,790 Uh, no. So the first year. Like, doctors will do, 233 00:13:49,830 --> 00:13:51,310 like some general stuff, and then they're like, hey, 234 00:13:51,310 --> 00:13:53,670 we're gonna be a heart surgeon, and they'll focus on the heart surgery. 235 00:13:53,670 --> 00:13:55,270 Stuff, like, somebody's going to be a pilot, 236 00:13:55,270 --> 00:13:58,590 and they're like, we're gonna have you drive around in a car. Yeah. 237 00:13:58,710 --> 00:14:01,670 Uh, well, you're good at that. All right, here's a plane, right? 238 00:14:02,150 --> 00:14:07,070 Yeah, I, I wish it was like that. Um, but the law school, 239 00:14:07,070 --> 00:14:10,190 the first year of law school is all the same for pretty much every, 240 00:14:10,230 --> 00:14:13,270 at least all the ABA like, nationally accredited schools they have. 241 00:14:13,270 --> 00:14:16,550 You take the same stuff, like you're taking civil procedure, 242 00:14:16,550 --> 00:14:22,630 criminal law, property, torts, which is like civil lawsuits type stuff. 243 00:14:23,070 --> 00:14:26,510 Um, you take you take all that stuff. No. 244 00:14:26,670 --> 00:14:28,270 Um, and then once you get that out of the way, 245 00:14:28,270 --> 00:14:32,310 then you can start taking things that you maybe want to practice in. 246 00:14:32,310 --> 00:14:36,350 Um, but, you know, the the goal remains the same. 247 00:14:36,350 --> 00:14:39,060 Just pass all the all the tests and get through the bar. 248 00:14:39,540 --> 00:14:41,380 Although I loved law school, law school was great. 249 00:14:41,460 --> 00:14:43,020 I did a lot of drinking. Did a lot of. 250 00:14:43,060 --> 00:14:45,540 I was gonna say you were at Santa Barbara. 251 00:14:45,540 --> 00:14:48,540 So I went to undergrad at Santa Barbara and law school down in 252 00:14:48,540 --> 00:14:50,500 San Diego. Oh that's right. Either way, 253 00:14:50,500 --> 00:14:52,700 you did a lot of drinking. Yeah, I was, uh, 254 00:14:52,700 --> 00:14:56,100 my apartment was near the Gaslamp, so we had a good time. 255 00:14:56,220 --> 00:15:01,500 We've talked about those days, like the, um, monkey paw neighborhood. 256 00:15:01,540 --> 00:15:06,180 Neighborhood? Yeah. Good old days. The good old days of early craft 257 00:15:06,180 --> 00:15:10,540 beer and getting hammered. Uh. All right, well, nerd shit, 258 00:15:10,540 --> 00:15:13,780 that's our nerd segment for the day. Not a nerd. Show. Not a nerd show. 259 00:15:13,820 --> 00:15:16,580 Well, it's kind of a nerd. Yeah, I'd say it's borderline. 260 00:15:16,620 --> 00:15:19,380 Yeah, it's fairly nerdy. Um, so. Yeah. 261 00:15:19,380 --> 00:15:23,620 So send all your questions to mail at craft beer.com, and we'll 262 00:15:23,620 --> 00:15:27,340 see if we can get intern Brian. And we'll set up a donation page 263 00:15:27,340 --> 00:15:29,820 because lawyers aren't free these days. Yeah. 264 00:15:29,860 --> 00:15:34,140 And we still don't pay him. No, we pay him so much money. 265 00:15:34,460 --> 00:15:39,400 He gives us pro boners. Yeah, I would do this for free any 266 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:44,000 day of the week. Such a nice guy. That's why we have them. 267 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,040 We don't deserve the niceness. I definitely don't, 268 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,520 I'm kind of a dick. Like, I've been learning that more 269 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,240 and more. Like day in and day out. I'm just like a huge dick. Sure. 270 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:58,080 Your wife lets you know plenty. Yeah. That's true. 271 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:05,120 I can't even shake that one off. No, there's. No arguing that one. 272 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:12,400 All right, before we move on to some news, let's answer some questions. 273 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:18,440 In a world where craft beer is king, a world where muscles are bigger than 274 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:27,840 growlers, only one ton can guide us. One man, one ton. One ton jobber. 275 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:33,840 In this world, we must find out what is flax drinking? 276 00:16:35,910 --> 00:16:41,310 Well, well, well, uh, today, uh, flex went back to his old 277 00:16:41,310 --> 00:16:43,110 stomping grounds. Uh, 278 00:16:43,470 --> 00:16:47,590 I got me some phase three brewing. I used to drink the shit out of 279 00:16:47,590 --> 00:16:53,190 these guys between, like, 2020 and 2023 until they grew and 280 00:16:53,190 --> 00:16:57,710 over sold out, uh, lost, like, three of their brewers and could 281 00:16:57,710 --> 00:17:02,230 tell the difference in how bad the beer was, and. Oh, yikes. Oh, yeah. 282 00:17:02,270 --> 00:17:03,790 I stopped buying them for about two years. 283 00:17:04,230 --> 00:17:05,910 I thought that was just because it got expensive. 284 00:17:06,510 --> 00:17:10,950 No, it was a mix between the taste of the beer and the price and everything 285 00:17:10,950 --> 00:17:14,710 about it. Uh, but. So here we are. We're diving back into them, 286 00:17:14,750 --> 00:17:18,110 trying them out, and I picked up Velvet Vortex, 287 00:17:18,230 --> 00:17:23,630 a 7.7%, uh, Double hazy IPA, double dry hopped as well. 288 00:17:23,630 --> 00:17:27,830 This one contains nectarine and mo mocha. 289 00:17:27,910 --> 00:17:32,330 I know we've talked about this. That's how I say Motueka. Mocha Waka. 290 00:17:33,770 --> 00:17:36,490 Waka. I think that's right. That seems right to me. 291 00:17:36,850 --> 00:17:39,930 Sounds right. Just doesn't. I don't know, doesn't feel right. 292 00:17:40,290 --> 00:17:44,730 Uh, untapped has it at a collective 414. Holla. 293 00:17:44,930 --> 00:17:48,890 Uh, Milwaukee area code, uh, only 767 check ins. 294 00:17:48,890 --> 00:17:50,890 So it's got to be relatively new release, 295 00:17:51,490 --> 00:17:54,690 and it reads Double Dry Hopped Hazy double IPA that highlights 296 00:17:54,690 --> 00:17:57,770 two hops from one of our favorite growing regions in the world. 297 00:17:58,090 --> 00:18:04,050 New Zealand notes of calamansi juice. Um, okay. 298 00:18:04,650 --> 00:18:08,690 Uh, stone fruit and green pineapple on top of a base beer built from 299 00:18:08,850 --> 00:18:13,210 frothy wheat and creamy oats. So funny that, uh, 300 00:18:13,210 --> 00:18:16,250 untapped says this because on the can it says Brewer's notes 301 00:18:16,250 --> 00:18:22,170 tropical fruit and fresh limes. So. All right, little, uh, 302 00:18:22,210 --> 00:18:23,850 we'll see what we got here. I don't know what the fuck 303 00:18:23,850 --> 00:18:29,530 column calamansi juice is. Calamansi. Calamansi clamato. 304 00:18:30,410 --> 00:18:33,640 Yeah, It's definitely not that. I'm looking it up. 305 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,160 Looks delicious. Yeah. It is. I mean, the color is phenomenal. 306 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:43,080 It's, uh, that pale straw. Very hazy. Nice head. Uh, very nice lacing. 307 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,640 The smell is kind of reminiscent of, like, a Nelson hop, um, where you 308 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,720 kind of get like that goosey berry, kind of like tangy hop character. 309 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,840 So, uh, daddy likes. And, uh, without further ado, 310 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,400 we'll warm up the old tongue jobber and we'll dabble in. Oh, here we go. 311 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,720 Do you feel privileged to watch the tongue jobber in action? 312 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,120 It is impressive, right? Okay, so. You can see why he's still married. 313 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,120 To see that live. I don't know, uh, 314 00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:13,080 what green pineapple is. Maybe they're referring to, 315 00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:16,320 like, unripe pineapple. Probably. I get that. 316 00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:20,200 Um, I definitely get the fresh limes. Uh, it's weird getting a lime flavor, 317 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,920 but not getting, like, the tartness of lime juice. 318 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:28,040 Uh, very, very low end hop bitterness here. 319 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,420 Uh, low carbonation and the mouthfeel. 320 00:19:31,540 --> 00:19:36,300 It's also like light bodied but pillowy at the same time, 321 00:19:36,660 --> 00:19:40,540 if that makes sense. Ish. Whatever these guys, uh, they're 322 00:19:40,540 --> 00:19:44,820 doing now, they dialed it back in. I would say this is a fantastic beer. 323 00:19:45,140 --> 00:19:48,940 Well that's good. Yeah. I'm very excited that I, uh, 324 00:19:48,940 --> 00:19:55,220 took the jump. Took the leap. I, um, found out what calamansi 325 00:19:55,740 --> 00:19:59,060 calamansi juice tastes like, which they in parentheses call 326 00:19:59,060 --> 00:20:01,860 the Filipino lemonade. So it must be from the Philippines. 327 00:20:01,980 --> 00:20:04,220 Okay. Since it has similar flavors to 328 00:20:04,260 --> 00:20:08,940 a mandarin orange, but is as sour as much as it is sweet. 329 00:20:09,100 --> 00:20:13,180 The calamansi has a distinct sugary citrus scent, an orange 330 00:20:13,180 --> 00:20:17,540 like aroma with a hint of lime. The juice is tart and lightly sweet. 331 00:20:17,940 --> 00:20:20,860 Okay, that kind of makes sense on the aroma now. Okay. 332 00:20:21,260 --> 00:20:23,940 But yeah, it sounds like I want to try some calamansi juice now. 333 00:20:23,980 --> 00:20:25,100 Yeah, I've never heard of it, but I'm. 334 00:20:25,100 --> 00:20:28,010 I'm down to give that a shot. Yeah. Definitely want to stick my 335 00:20:28,010 --> 00:20:31,810 tongue jabber in that hell? All right, well, uh, 336 00:20:31,850 --> 00:20:35,450 we'll move on then. Sweet transition. Greg. High five. Yeah, yeah. 337 00:20:36,010 --> 00:20:39,930 You are the king of transitions. No one makes it more awkward. 338 00:20:40,410 --> 00:20:42,090 Uh, before I forget, because I already did. 339 00:20:42,250 --> 00:20:45,330 Top listing city of last week. Marlton, new Jersey. 340 00:20:45,330 --> 00:20:48,090 I think that's a new one. Marlton, new Jersey. 341 00:20:48,410 --> 00:20:51,570 I would be willing to say that's not even a real place. Yeah. 342 00:20:51,610 --> 00:20:56,250 Prove us wrong, Marlton. Somebody from there send us an email. 343 00:20:56,850 --> 00:21:00,130 Marlton. Seems like every week new Jersey 344 00:21:00,130 --> 00:21:03,090 gives you a new top listing city. It's weird. Right? 345 00:21:03,250 --> 00:21:06,050 I don't know what it is about new Jersey. 346 00:21:06,090 --> 00:21:10,250 You put up a billboard or something? No, but that's genius. You should. 347 00:21:10,250 --> 00:21:14,530 You should get a genius. Get one in Marlton. How about. 348 00:21:14,530 --> 00:21:16,530 Thanks? Marlton from Craft Beer Republic. 349 00:21:16,570 --> 00:21:18,770 Something tells me Marlton is such a small town. 350 00:21:18,770 --> 00:21:20,890 They don't even have room for a billboard. Right. 351 00:21:20,890 --> 00:21:25,330 Or they just have the one that. Just says Welcome to Marlton. 352 00:21:25,850 --> 00:21:29,750 It's like on the other side it says. Thanks for visiting Marldon. 353 00:21:31,870 --> 00:21:35,310 Now entering, now leaving. Tell us what's in Marldon. 354 00:21:36,510 --> 00:21:43,390 Has anybody been there? Let's see. Marlton, new Jersey population 355 00:21:43,910 --> 00:21:48,910 10,403 as of 2022. And that's smaller than where I live. 356 00:21:49,070 --> 00:21:55,070 The craft brew. Craft beer republic. Yeah, all of them listened in twice. 357 00:21:55,110 --> 00:21:59,910 Twice. Thanks, Marlton. Yeah. Maybe not. 358 00:22:00,430 --> 00:22:01,990 All right, let's let's do the news. Can you. 359 00:22:02,030 --> 00:22:05,470 Can we, uh, pass around a little beer while I kick this off? 360 00:22:06,070 --> 00:22:10,550 Has anybody heard of the beer bar tornado up in San Francisco? 361 00:22:11,070 --> 00:22:14,110 I have. Have you been there? I've eaten tornadoes before. 362 00:22:15,510 --> 00:22:18,950 What is it? Tornado in food form. Yeah, it's like a taquito. 363 00:22:19,030 --> 00:22:22,110 Or like a flauta. Oh, really? I've never heard. 364 00:22:22,110 --> 00:22:25,700 It called that. Tornadoes. It's like the off brand, I think. 365 00:22:25,860 --> 00:22:29,900 Oh, is that like a super white person thing or. Yeah. It's gotta be. Okay. 366 00:22:30,220 --> 00:22:34,500 Cause I believe it or not, am super white. Oh, we know. 367 00:22:36,340 --> 00:22:39,900 The tornado I know was in San Diego. I don't know if they were affiliated 368 00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:42,300 or something. Yeah, I don't know. It's funny because when I first 369 00:22:42,300 --> 00:22:44,180 saw the headline, that's what I thought of too, 370 00:22:44,220 --> 00:22:47,700 because I know the one in San Diego. This is the one in San Francisco. 371 00:22:47,740 --> 00:22:50,460 The iconic San Francisco Beer bar is up for sale with a list 372 00:22:50,460 --> 00:22:55,060 price of 1.75 million, according to a listing on compass. 373 00:22:55,060 --> 00:22:59,020 The bar acknowledged plans to sell as the owner and founder Dave Keens, 374 00:22:59,180 --> 00:23:02,940 prepares to retire. He says in true tornado fashion, we 375 00:23:02,940 --> 00:23:07,900 plan to celebrate Dave's innumerable, innumerable contributions to the 376 00:23:07,900 --> 00:23:10,740 world of craft beer scene.

I know it means incapable of Being 380 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:31,680 humored. Huh? Genius. Damn it! He's good. Dave says it so seriously. 381 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,080 Hey, look, I just gotta say, by the way, back to Marlton, 382 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,280 new Jersey, because I can't stop thinking about this. 383 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:42,640 Um, Google says one of the best places to live in new Jersey. 384 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,000 So that's a low bar to cross, but okay. 385 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,200 The only city in new Jersey not to smell like trash, right? 386 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:54,800 So that's I mean, that's a good sign if we have, 387 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,600 like, uh, some of the best residents in new Jersey listening, 388 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,560 you know. We've got the best. The best listening to the craft beer 389 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:09,960 public. Thanks, besties. Here we go. Yeah. Moral Etonians. Moral Etonians. 390 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,720 So, are we in on buying tornado, or is that. Yeah, 1.75 mill. 391 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:19,080 You wanna just get half or. I mean, I do like the third. 392 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,950 Okay. Yeah, Brian's a lawyer. He's got that kind of money. Yeah. 393 00:24:21,990 --> 00:24:30,190 Flex. You want in on the other third? I'm not a lawyer. Yeah. Let's do it. 394 00:24:30,630 --> 00:24:34,910 Yeah, well, we'll be rich. Yeah. Yeah. 395 00:24:34,950 --> 00:24:39,110 Cause nothing like beer right now to get rich in AI. 396 00:24:39,150 --> 00:24:43,190 That doesn't sound right, but I'm in. I think we're hitting the peak, 397 00:24:43,190 --> 00:24:46,790 guys. Yeah. Finally. Right. Finally hitting. The peak. 398 00:24:46,950 --> 00:24:53,150 All rise. It's only up from here. All right, IPA continues. 399 00:24:53,150 --> 00:24:56,630 Well, we talked about pricing and selling and all that stuff a 400 00:24:56,630 --> 00:24:59,030 couple weeks ago, but this article says the IPA 401 00:24:59,030 --> 00:25:04,710 continues to dominate craft styles. Sales of IPAs top $2.27 billion 402 00:25:04,710 --> 00:25:10,030 in 2024. Heck yeah. Yeah. They have almost half the share of 403 00:25:10,030 --> 00:25:16,030 the craft beer segment at 49.41%. IPA dollar sales increased 1.8% 404 00:25:16,030 --> 00:25:21,170 with sales topping, like I said, 7 billion, an increase of more 405 00:25:21,170 --> 00:25:25,570 than 40.4 million year over year. The average case price of IPA 406 00:25:25,610 --> 00:25:31,850 was 46.34 and 85 cent increase. Only two other top ten craft 407 00:25:31,850 --> 00:25:35,970 styles posted dollar sales growth in 2024 growth. Excuse me. 408 00:25:36,130 --> 00:25:38,650 Number five was Golden Ales which I was surprised to see. Golden nails. 409 00:25:38,690 --> 00:25:42,530 I don't like golden nails. Yeah, not a huge fan. 410 00:25:42,650 --> 00:25:46,570 Just whatever. Golden ale fan? Yeah, I can take it or leave it. 411 00:25:46,770 --> 00:25:49,690 If it's a good one, I'll drink it. To me, it's just like a not hoppy 412 00:25:49,730 --> 00:25:53,770 pale ale. Yeah, I like the. I like the more Belgian styles. 413 00:25:53,770 --> 00:25:56,730 If I'm gonna go golden like a Belgian triple or. 414 00:25:56,770 --> 00:26:02,170 Yeah, or like a shower. Right. Uh, let's see what you did there. 415 00:26:02,450 --> 00:26:05,130 Uh, and number number seven on the rise. 416 00:26:05,250 --> 00:26:09,250 Uh, pale lagers up 1%, which I'm. I'm for a pale lager. Right. 417 00:26:09,290 --> 00:26:11,610 You know, the the IPA thing makes sense to me, though, 418 00:26:11,650 --> 00:26:14,570 just because I think people are just wanting bang for their buck. 419 00:26:14,610 --> 00:26:18,480 Like, not only are they delicious, but usually you get a get a 420 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,640 higher ABV range in there, usually between like six and 421 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:26,560 seven for even like a single IPA. So somebody doesn't want to pay 422 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,640 more to get drunk. It makes sense. Yeah, I would be interested to 423 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,120 see what the breakdown is between West Coast and Hazy. 424 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,240 Yeah, I wish they would have separated that, 425 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:41,360 because I would say that more West Coast's are canned than hazy, 426 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,720 especially from the bigger breweries. I think the bigger of the bigger 427 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,520 breweries bucking that trend, like Sierra Nevada with hazy little thing. 428 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,720 They're fucking killing it with hazy little things, right? But yeah. 429 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,720 I would almost say hazy is ousting West Coast. 430 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,880 I mean, I think popularity within the the flavor profile within. 431 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,800 Yeah. Drinkers I think is probably. Especially within the craft world. 432 00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:08,200 Yeah. Like I'm just thinking of like 433 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,440 I'm just trying to think of local stuff that like the bigger guys 434 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:16,900 that distribute and like the main IPAs are all hazy Related. 435 00:27:18,900 --> 00:27:21,580 Well, and we're skewed because we're we're out here in California, 436 00:27:21,580 --> 00:27:24,260 so we get a lot more West Coast. It's true. 437 00:27:24,380 --> 00:27:28,660 And, you know, back east, Deb and I went last fall, and we did Maine 438 00:27:28,660 --> 00:27:32,460 and New Hampshire and Vermont and everything's hazy over there. Yeah. 439 00:27:32,460 --> 00:27:34,700 You're not going to go to a tree house and pick up a West Coast, 440 00:27:34,700 --> 00:27:38,780 right? Yeah. Do they even make one? I don't know, they must. 441 00:27:39,460 --> 00:27:42,820 Uh, I didn't get to tree House. I did get to Alchemist. 442 00:27:42,820 --> 00:27:47,780 And they had a they had a couple West Coast IPAs and some cool lagers, 443 00:27:47,780 --> 00:27:50,460 too. I was pretty. Surprised at how good that stuff 444 00:27:50,460 --> 00:27:52,980 would be there. Yeah. Everything was good. 445 00:27:53,060 --> 00:27:56,340 Everything was really good. And the heady topper on cask was, 446 00:27:57,300 --> 00:28:02,780 uh, pretty, pretty solid. Was it flat? No. It was. 447 00:28:02,780 --> 00:28:06,740 It was definitely not as effervescent as the canned, but it wasn't flat. 448 00:28:06,780 --> 00:28:09,660 It was pretty solid. That's my big thing with cask is 449 00:28:09,660 --> 00:28:11,260 like, I don't I don't want a flat beer. 450 00:28:12,100 --> 00:28:15,930 Yeah. Doesn't doesn't bother me. It really doesn't. It's not my jam. 451 00:28:16,170 --> 00:28:18,530 Like you ever, uh, fall asleep drinking a beer, 452 00:28:18,530 --> 00:28:20,450 and then you wake up and you still have half your glass full, 453 00:28:20,450 --> 00:28:23,090 and you just wake up and you chug it. I wish I could tell you I did 454 00:28:23,090 --> 00:28:25,690 not do that three days ago. But you do it right. 455 00:28:25,770 --> 00:28:28,210 But I absolutely did it. Yeah. And I totally am. 456 00:28:28,210 --> 00:28:30,250 Like, wow, you get a lot more of that beer flavor. 457 00:28:30,290 --> 00:28:33,370 Not so much of like, the what's going on with my mouth. 458 00:28:34,050 --> 00:28:35,850 Well, it's funny, I actually did it with the Gromky. 459 00:28:35,850 --> 00:28:38,570 The first beer we were drinking. I brought that four pack back to the 460 00:28:38,570 --> 00:28:42,570 hotel when I was up there and had, I don't know, maybe a quarter of it, 461 00:28:42,570 --> 00:28:45,810 and kind of passed out in the bed and woke up at like two in the morning. 462 00:28:45,810 --> 00:28:48,010 I was like, oh, I still got most of a beer. I don't want to waste it. 463 00:28:48,050 --> 00:28:51,610 You don't waste it. No, do not waste it. Chug chug chug. 464 00:28:51,970 --> 00:28:55,050 Maybe not the best idea I survived. Not the worst idea. 465 00:28:55,250 --> 00:28:58,370 No, I actually felt fine. Um, well, speaking of IPA, 466 00:28:58,410 --> 00:29:00,810 you mentioned IPAs being a good bang for your buck. 467 00:29:00,850 --> 00:29:03,050 We're going to drink an IPA that bucks that trend. 468 00:29:03,930 --> 00:29:04,770 It's called the Penn. 469 00:29:10,170 --> 00:29:15,150 Who calls to the bullpen for beer? Year. 470 00:29:15,150 --> 00:29:18,110 So fresh off the heels of our conversation. 471 00:29:18,270 --> 00:29:21,070 I don't know, two ish weeks ago, I was talking about how I was 472 00:29:21,070 --> 00:29:25,110 talking to Boris over at Petals and Pints about missing fly Jack 473 00:29:25,670 --> 00:29:30,110 and those lower cal carb ABV. We're talking about session shits, 474 00:29:30,110 --> 00:29:32,910 right? Yeah. Session. And that that movement that went on 475 00:29:32,910 --> 00:29:36,070 for a while for like the lower carb and lower cal beers and especially 476 00:29:36,070 --> 00:29:40,310 like IPAs seem to have a year of people really trying to innovate. 477 00:29:40,310 --> 00:29:43,510 And then they petered out. It seemed like Covid kind of petered 478 00:29:43,510 --> 00:29:47,990 out. Petered out. Is that a thing? I think so, yeah. Okay. No. Okay. 479 00:29:48,030 --> 00:29:50,390 I keep looking to this market. I'm like, I don't know, please. 480 00:29:50,430 --> 00:29:52,710 Well that's why I asked. I'm like, I don't know if I've 481 00:29:52,710 --> 00:29:55,510 ever heard that term. Can confirm petered out. 482 00:29:55,550 --> 00:29:59,270 I think maybe it's a West Coast thing I don't know. Weird. 483 00:29:59,310 --> 00:30:02,990 I'll get my Peter out. I immediately thought of Dick, 484 00:30:02,990 --> 00:30:07,790 but. Of course you did. But not a dick show. So I. Sometimes. 485 00:30:07,950 --> 00:30:11,990 But Deb's not here. That's true. It's less of a dick show. 486 00:30:12,660 --> 00:30:15,260 Uh, so anyways, in honor of all that, we are drinking. 487 00:30:15,260 --> 00:30:17,340 And Brian found this. He brought this in because of 488 00:30:17,340 --> 00:30:21,300 our conversation, we're drinking El Segundo Spark Plug Light IPA. 489 00:30:22,220 --> 00:30:25,740 It is 4%. They say the younger sibling to 490 00:30:25,780 --> 00:30:28,980 power plant similar hot punch, but in a small package. 491 00:30:28,980 --> 00:30:31,860 This light IPA is the perfect beer to throw back in January. 492 00:30:32,100 --> 00:30:37,260 The hops are Amarillo, Simcoe, Centennial and it has a 366 on 493 00:30:37,260 --> 00:30:41,220 untapped. Which is generous. Sorry, I'm drinking this beer 494 00:30:41,260 --> 00:30:44,780 under protest. Uh, this is. I'm glad you said it first. 495 00:30:44,820 --> 00:30:47,980 This is basically just one step up from those athletic, 496 00:30:47,980 --> 00:30:51,900 non-alcoholic beers. Really? You know, it's not the worst 497 00:30:51,900 --> 00:30:54,420 thing I ever drank. I've had worse beers than this. 498 00:30:54,420 --> 00:30:57,420 But I will say you can't compare it to power plant. No. 499 00:30:57,420 --> 00:31:00,700 Power plant's a triple. And it's hoppy as. Fuck. Yeah. 500 00:31:01,020 --> 00:31:03,420 I, I get almost no hop flavor in this. 501 00:31:03,500 --> 00:31:08,500 In fact, the number one flavor that shines for me is biscuity. 502 00:31:08,500 --> 00:31:11,480 Uh, breadiness. Biscuity malt. a little bit of. 503 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:17,280 Maybe you could find a tiny, tiny bit of that stone fruit. 504 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,720 Maybe. Maybe I'm still. Looking a little citrusy, 505 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,440 a little citrusy on the nose. The nose is okay. 506 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:27,880 It kind of makes you think it's gonna taste good. 507 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,520 And then you drink it. Yeah. The nose is just basically what they 508 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,440 described it as. It's a light IPA. I mean, I think if this was if I 509 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,960 think if this was super cold and I was slamming it on a hot day, it 510 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,600 would not be I would be okay with it. Probably be a little better. Yeah. 511 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,400 But like if you're trying to ease your way out of Dry January, which. 512 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,160 I see Brian holding his glass and it almost looks like water. 513 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,520 It is pretty light. Yeah, it's super light. Holy smokes. 514 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:59,280 Yeah, very light in color. Has some decent lacing. 515 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,000 Um, but yeah, I like like we were saying, 516 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,760 biscuit is the number one flavor. I'm picking up on this one. 517 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,160 And and El Segundo is usually really good. Yeah. I mean. 518 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,230 Especially when it comes to hops. And that's kind of their thing. 519 00:32:11,910 --> 00:32:13,990 West coast. You know when you this is like 520 00:32:14,030 --> 00:32:16,750 El Segundo making a beer with one arm tied behind their back. 521 00:32:16,790 --> 00:32:20,830 I think so. Yeah. This is, uh, not, well, 522 00:32:20,870 --> 00:32:22,790 representative. Representative of that. 523 00:32:22,830 --> 00:32:27,630 Would you consider it the, uh, one man or a one legged man in an 524 00:32:27,630 --> 00:32:29,990 ass kicking contest of a beer? Is that what you a little bit? 525 00:32:30,030 --> 00:32:32,790 A little. Bit? If somebody handed this to me 526 00:32:33,070 --> 00:32:37,470 after I ran a marathon, I would probably throw it back at them. 527 00:32:39,750 --> 00:32:44,190 I was expecting you to say like I would at least drink it then, right? 528 00:32:44,190 --> 00:32:47,950 I was expecting to. But, uh, maybe. Good for mid marathon. 529 00:32:48,310 --> 00:32:50,590 Nice and light. Low ABV. Yeah, yeah. You know, 530 00:32:50,630 --> 00:32:55,870 like your mile six refresher? Yeah. Carb up a little bit. Yeah, exactly. 531 00:32:56,390 --> 00:32:58,430 So anyways, the one thing this doesn't say is like, 532 00:32:58,470 --> 00:33:03,150 is this a low cal, low carb, like fly jack and all that stuff? 533 00:33:03,150 --> 00:33:06,430 It doesn't say obviously it's going to be at least a little bit lower 534 00:33:06,470 --> 00:33:11,530 with the low ABV like that, but, um. Sorry, El Segundo. We tried. 535 00:33:11,690 --> 00:33:17,850 We tried bring back animus. Yeah. So, uh, speaking of hot breweries, 536 00:33:18,090 --> 00:33:21,170 Sapporo Stone is restructuring their team. 537 00:33:21,170 --> 00:33:23,850 They're getting rid of 2% of their employees and 1% of their 538 00:33:23,850 --> 00:33:27,370 job descriptions. Um, citing a challenge in the 539 00:33:27,370 --> 00:33:28,930 beer market. Sapporo Stone brewing has 540 00:33:28,930 --> 00:33:32,410 undergone a restructuring that has cut 1% of all roles. 541 00:33:32,410 --> 00:33:35,850 In addition to trimming 1% of its jobs, they have also eliminated 542 00:33:35,850 --> 00:33:39,730 its e-commerce business and will no longer ship beer or merchandise 543 00:33:40,810 --> 00:33:43,050 or merchandise. Really? I thought that was kind of 544 00:33:43,050 --> 00:33:46,610 interesting. That so I understand the beer thing, 545 00:33:46,610 --> 00:33:52,370 but like, hey, I want a t shirt. No, go to Amazon. Right? Exactly. 546 00:33:52,730 --> 00:33:54,610 So can we can we break that down a little bit? 547 00:33:54,610 --> 00:33:57,650 Because I was a little bit confused. You said they're getting rid of 548 00:33:57,690 --> 00:34:03,290 2% of their employees and 1% of their job descriptions. Yeah. 549 00:34:03,330 --> 00:34:06,280 So like do they just take people's job descriptions from 550 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,080 them and just say, okay, you're just you're a nondescript 551 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,880 employee now. I guess it's weird. That did confuse me, too. 552 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,280 Yeah, it confused me. 2% of total employees, 553 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:19,280 1% of all roles. So? So they must be combining roles. 554 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,960 Okay. Is my best guess. This is like an office space. 555 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,480 Like we fixed the glitch exactly type thing. 556 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:30,280 Yeah, they will no longer be paying Milton. Goddamn people person. 557 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:37,680 Hey, uh, what would you do if you won a million bucks? Two chicks. 558 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,440 At. The same. Time, man. That's one of my favorite ones. 559 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,880 You think two chicks would double up on a dude like me? Dude. 560 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,520 For a million bucks, they would. That is my favorite line. 561 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,520 The fact that that guy can get that out without laughing. 562 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,720 Um, I think you sent this to me. Flex Pringles. Yeah. 563 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:59,760 Is going to be releasing Miller Lite beer flavored Pringles. Hell yeah. 564 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,080 Well, not Miller Lite flavor. It was beer can chicken. 565 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,140 Yeah, that's what the flavor is. But it's supposed to be Miller 566 00:35:07,180 --> 00:35:11,860 Lite beer can chicken flavor. So yeah, but it's not going to 567 00:35:11,860 --> 00:35:13,980 be like Miller Lite. I'm sure it's more like a 568 00:35:13,980 --> 00:35:19,500 sponsored collaboration. Um, but you bet your ass I'm 569 00:35:19,500 --> 00:35:21,980 gonna buy these fucking Pringles. I love Pringles. 570 00:35:23,060 --> 00:35:28,900 Anytime there's a new Pringle flavor out in the stores, I nab it up and I 571 00:35:28,940 --> 00:35:31,020 try it, and I eat the whole can. Whether it's good or bad, 572 00:35:31,020 --> 00:35:32,980 I don't give a shit. What your favorite flavor. 573 00:35:33,700 --> 00:35:37,900 Um, they came out with a carnitas. Oh, Pringle. 574 00:35:38,420 --> 00:35:42,740 And it tasted just like eating carnitas. 575 00:35:43,260 --> 00:35:46,100 That's kind of weird, actually. And it was amazing. 576 00:35:46,820 --> 00:35:51,020 And then I never saw them again. Too good to be true. Yeah, yeah. 577 00:35:51,020 --> 00:35:54,420 But usually, um, for, like, the standard flavors, I'll go, like, 578 00:35:54,420 --> 00:35:57,340 salt and vinegar. Yeah, that's. A big fan of that one. 579 00:35:57,340 --> 00:36:00,260 Or the sour cream and onion. See, I don't like that one. 580 00:36:00,260 --> 00:36:03,370 I don't like the cream and onion. Yeah. Oh, especially. Pringles. 581 00:36:03,370 --> 00:36:05,650 I like that one. Super unpopular opinion. 582 00:36:05,650 --> 00:36:08,490 I don't like sour cream and onion chips at all. Mhm. 583 00:36:08,530 --> 00:36:12,130 Like any brand. Really. Ruffles has good sour cream and onion 584 00:36:12,130 --> 00:36:15,210 too. And that's like the big flavor. Everybody loves sour cream and onion. 585 00:36:15,370 --> 00:36:18,730 Yeah. What's the ruffles. One that's like cheddar and onion 586 00:36:18,730 --> 00:36:21,050 or cheddar and. Cheddar and sour. Cream. Cheddar and sour cream. 587 00:36:21,050 --> 00:36:24,250 Yeah. Yeah. They're orange. Yeah. They're orange. So good. 588 00:36:24,330 --> 00:36:27,690 My oldest daughter gobbles those up like they're going out of style. 589 00:36:28,010 --> 00:36:31,690 Her and I are gonna hang out. Those are so good. I like the. 590 00:36:31,770 --> 00:36:34,090 Like, three bags in the cabinet at all times. 591 00:36:35,210 --> 00:36:38,450 I'm a big fan of the, uh, kettle chips. The the. Oh, yeah. 592 00:36:38,490 --> 00:36:41,850 Either the black pepper. Yeah. Like the salt and pepper. Yeah. 593 00:36:41,890 --> 00:36:46,250 Or the jalapeno. Oh, jalapenos. Ah, yeah. We just had those. 594 00:36:46,250 --> 00:36:49,730 We went out for sandwiches the other day and we split a bag of 595 00:36:49,770 --> 00:36:53,250 kettle cooked jalapeno chips. Super duper solid. 596 00:36:53,890 --> 00:36:57,090 So good I haven't. Let me tell you. You brought up the salt and pepper 597 00:36:57,130 --> 00:37:02,070 chips. Salt and pepper popcorn. Corn. Ooh! 598 00:37:02,550 --> 00:37:06,470 I'm telling you, it's a game changer. Popcorn person. Neither am I. 599 00:37:06,910 --> 00:37:13,550 Oh, but when it's salt and peppered, it's like a completely different 600 00:37:14,310 --> 00:37:17,310 item. It's amazing. I'll eat a whole fucking bag of it. 601 00:37:17,350 --> 00:37:19,990 Wow. Yeah. I especially my least favorite 602 00:37:19,990 --> 00:37:22,670 popcorn is movie popcorn. I'm not a fan. 603 00:37:22,670 --> 00:37:26,110 Like the butter movie popcorn. Butter to me, makes me sick. 604 00:37:27,030 --> 00:37:30,990 It gives me the shits. Not me. I do enjoy it. 605 00:37:31,230 --> 00:37:33,750 Oh, all I want is popcorn. If I'm gonna go popcorn, 606 00:37:33,750 --> 00:37:38,230 which I rarely ever do. Just give me the popcorn with a 607 00:37:38,230 --> 00:37:43,630 metric ton, a heart shattering amount of salt in it. That's what I want. 608 00:37:44,110 --> 00:37:47,150 Salty ass popcorn. I like the cheese popcorn. 609 00:37:47,150 --> 00:37:49,790 You remember when we were kids growing up? Like the tins? Yeah. 610 00:37:50,110 --> 00:37:52,270 The gross ass tins were three different flavors. 611 00:37:52,390 --> 00:37:56,230 Well, but I like the one the like the cheddar cheese. The cheddar cheese. 612 00:37:56,270 --> 00:37:59,860 Yeah. White cheddar. You know. White cheddar was better because 613 00:37:59,860 --> 00:38:03,140 it didn't fuck up your fingers. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the, 614 00:38:03,180 --> 00:38:05,460 um, the sweet. The caramel corn. Caramel corn. 615 00:38:05,500 --> 00:38:08,380 I was just gonna ask if you guys. I didn't know if that was just, 616 00:38:08,380 --> 00:38:10,820 like, a midwest thing. The caramel corn? No. 617 00:38:10,820 --> 00:38:13,180 I remember as a kid getting the big ass tub from, like, 618 00:38:13,180 --> 00:38:16,780 Kmart for Christmas or something, and it was, you know, split in three. 619 00:38:16,780 --> 00:38:18,620 You had original, which nobody wanted, 620 00:38:18,700 --> 00:38:21,100 the cheddar, which was the best. And then the caramel corn, 621 00:38:21,700 --> 00:38:25,100 which for me was like the middle. So here there's a really popular. 622 00:38:25,180 --> 00:38:29,940 It's popular to mix the cheese and the caramel in, like, a bag or a tin. 623 00:38:30,180 --> 00:38:33,260 Yeah, as a kid, I wasn't about that. Okay, I love it. 624 00:38:33,860 --> 00:38:35,660 I bet I would like it. I'm all about, like, 625 00:38:35,660 --> 00:38:38,100 sweet and savory now. Yeah. As a kid, I'm like, yeah, 626 00:38:38,140 --> 00:38:41,180 cheese and caramel. No, it's like when you're a kid, 627 00:38:41,180 --> 00:38:42,940 you think it's gross, but the older you get, 628 00:38:42,940 --> 00:38:46,180 you're like, grow the fuck up. It's delicious. Grow up. 629 00:38:46,300 --> 00:38:48,740 When I was a kid, I thought onions were gross. 630 00:38:48,900 --> 00:38:51,940 Now I realize that they provide flavor to almost every dish. 631 00:38:51,980 --> 00:38:53,820 And they're so fucking delicious. I'll eat a plane. 632 00:38:53,820 --> 00:38:55,660 Like I'll be chopping onions. I'll just start snacking on 633 00:38:55,660 --> 00:38:59,640 pieces of onion. That's. Dude. That's gross. You're gross. 634 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,440 So I used to hate onions. Not an onion show, but I used to 635 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:06,080 hate onions. On our honeymoon. Let's peel. That back. 636 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:11,520 Uh, sweet little taco stand that was on the corner of our resort. Mm. 637 00:39:11,720 --> 00:39:15,000 And they were like shaving the pork right off the spit for tacos. 638 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:20,160 It was amazing. And, uh. First time I ever had, like, 639 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,240 you know, cilantro and onions just on a taco. 640 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,280 That's the only way to eat a taco. Right. I agree 100%. 641 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,160 That's the only way I order them now. Uh, it changed my life. 642 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,240 And like, white onions, I think are amazing. 643 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:37,240 Yellow onions or Spanish onions? You know. Whatever. Onions. 644 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,880 I know they're not sweet onions. Yellow or Spanish. Ah. One thing. 645 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,960 I've never heard them called Spanish before. Yeah, it's a real thing. 646 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,640 Yeah. Have you heard this? I will. I've heard of it. 647 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:51,680 Yeah, I will live with it. Sweet onions I do not like. Really? 648 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:56,510 Red onions are the fucking pits. Oh, I love red onions. 649 00:39:56,790 --> 00:39:59,910 If you want to ruin a dish, you put a red onion in it. 650 00:40:00,070 --> 00:40:02,630 I'm not gonna eat it. Well, you need certain onions 651 00:40:02,630 --> 00:40:03,990 for certain dishes. Like I would never put a red 652 00:40:03,990 --> 00:40:07,950 onion in a taco, but like a red onion on a burger or a sandwich, 653 00:40:08,190 --> 00:40:10,590 unless it's a grilled onion, then I'm going back to yellow or 654 00:40:10,590 --> 00:40:18,470 sweet. No, no, just white onions. I buy. I buy the Costco. 655 00:40:18,510 --> 00:40:21,310 This is really falling down a rabbit hole. I buy the Costco. 656 00:40:21,350 --> 00:40:22,310 Yellow onions. You know, 657 00:40:22,310 --> 00:40:24,790 a big old giant bag of them. Yellow, to me, is like, 658 00:40:24,790 --> 00:40:28,470 the most universal. I can put them on tacos, put them on 659 00:40:28,470 --> 00:40:31,430 burgers, sandwiches. It's all good. That's how I feel about a white 660 00:40:31,430 --> 00:40:33,230 onion. It's the only one I'll eat, 661 00:40:33,230 --> 00:40:39,830 so just put it in everything. Like the. Racist onion. 662 00:40:39,870 --> 00:40:42,430 I know I was waiting for somebody to say it. 663 00:40:42,950 --> 00:40:46,790 Uh, the local Japanese restaurant that we really like to go to. 664 00:40:47,630 --> 00:40:50,870 For some reason, it was ever since, after Covid, 665 00:40:50,910 --> 00:40:54,630 like the whole pandemic, they started putting red onions in everything 666 00:40:54,810 --> 00:40:58,250 instead of white or yellow. So like, you order fried rice 667 00:40:58,250 --> 00:41:01,050 and it's got red onions in it. You order their lo mein, 668 00:41:01,050 --> 00:41:05,530 it's red onions. And it's really blows my mind going, 669 00:41:05,890 --> 00:41:07,290 no. So I just ordered it with no 670 00:41:07,290 --> 00:41:13,930 onions because I'm a little bitch. The sushi place. 671 00:41:13,930 --> 00:41:17,170 The wife and I really like to go to. They have a dish that we actually 672 00:41:17,170 --> 00:41:22,130 request raw red onions on top of, and it makes it so much better. 673 00:41:22,250 --> 00:41:25,730 It's a good sushi dish but. Mhm mhm mhm. Mhm. 674 00:41:25,770 --> 00:41:29,810 Onions on the sushi. Oh yeah. And we only thought of it because 675 00:41:29,810 --> 00:41:32,570 there's another one that we like that had the red onions on it. 676 00:41:32,570 --> 00:41:34,530 And this one doesn't come in roll form like they, 677 00:41:34,530 --> 00:41:36,650 they shape it and then they dot them all over the plate. 678 00:41:36,650 --> 00:41:38,450 And there's just a ton of little pieces. 679 00:41:38,450 --> 00:41:41,050 And one time we're like, hey, can you put some raw red onion on there? 680 00:41:41,050 --> 00:41:44,170 And they looked at us like we're heretics. But they eventually did it. 681 00:41:44,170 --> 00:41:45,970 And it's delicious. Now we do it every time and they 682 00:41:45,970 --> 00:41:49,570 probably still hate us for it. Interesting. It's good stuff. 683 00:41:50,410 --> 00:41:53,640 Anywho, not an onion show. And by the way, uh, those Pringles 684 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,960 that we talked about half an hour ago. Those will be available in May. 685 00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,000 I forgot. Nice transition. They're coming out in May. 686 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,800 That ad does not say chicken. It very small. 687 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,440 It says beer can chicken. Oh on the can itself the can of 688 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,760 chips. But in their little. Yeah. The headline is Miller Lite beer 689 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,720 flavored Pringles are coming. Uh, I thought it was weird that 690 00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:18,040 they're coming in May. It feels like a Super Bowl item. 691 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,000 It's like a memorial day. I feel like this item should not 692 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,000 ever come out. It sounds like a super shit item, 693 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,040 but, um. You're gonna buy it, 694 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,520 and we're gonna try it. No, you're gonna buy it and tell 695 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:29,560 me about. I'm gonna buy it, 696 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,800 and you're gonna buy it, and we'll eat them on the goddamn show. 697 00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:34,640 And you're gonna hate how much you love them. 698 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,400 Like chicken in a biscuit. Crackers. Nobody wants to admit that they 699 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,840 like chicken in a biscuit. Never had those. 700 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:41,400 Oh, you're missing out. I mean, in real. 701 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,920 I've had a chicken and biscuit situation, but not. 702 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,120 You never had the cracker. I've had those crackers, 703 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,200 and they are excellent. Are they? Yes, they are, but nobody wants 704 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,100 to admit that they're good. I'm admitting it. You just. 705 00:42:52,140 --> 00:42:55,780 You keep eating them. It's like two. Tastes like the chicken noodle. 706 00:42:55,820 --> 00:42:58,700 I'm sorry. Not even chicken noodle. Chicken flavored noodle that you 707 00:42:58,700 --> 00:43:02,460 get at the shitty diner down the street that you can't stop eating, 708 00:43:02,940 --> 00:43:06,020 even though it's neon green. Like some matzo ball soup. 709 00:43:06,060 --> 00:43:09,980 It is. It's like the noodles. Like, if you get, like, a good, like, 710 00:43:10,020 --> 00:43:16,660 deli noodle. Chicken noodle soup. Mhm. That bready matzo ball quality. 711 00:43:16,700 --> 00:43:18,540 Wonderful. That's what the chicken and the 712 00:43:18,580 --> 00:43:22,940 biscuit is like. I will say interim Brian and Deb 713 00:43:23,100 --> 00:43:28,180 are people that I trust culinarily. Some people will tell us like, hey, 714 00:43:28,180 --> 00:43:33,540 this place is great or this food is great. I go, yeah, thanks. Whatever. 715 00:43:34,220 --> 00:43:38,180 When you guys say like something's really good, usually trust it. 716 00:43:38,500 --> 00:43:41,180 You guys. I appreciate that. I feel like we're on similar 717 00:43:41,340 --> 00:43:43,700 culinary wavelengths. I think it's because if something 718 00:43:43,700 --> 00:43:45,900 shitty will tell you that, too. You will also tell if it's a 719 00:43:45,900 --> 00:43:49,900 shitty and if it's good for only one specific item. Like Deb. 720 00:43:49,940 --> 00:43:53,170 I won't say the name, but the Mexican place that opened Semi-recently. 721 00:43:53,210 --> 00:43:57,490 Yep. Deb's like foods. Whatever. Margaritas are fantastic. Yes. 722 00:43:57,530 --> 00:44:00,490 Go for the margaritas and chips. And she's not wrong. 723 00:44:00,850 --> 00:44:03,610 The food's a little hit and miss. Margaritas are great. 724 00:44:03,610 --> 00:44:07,010 And not expensive either. The margaritas, I mean. Uh. 725 00:44:07,050 --> 00:44:11,490 All right, let's end it on this one. Drunk man's penis freezes to the 726 00:44:11,490 --> 00:44:14,290 icy pavement during a bar fight. Wait, what? 727 00:44:14,850 --> 00:44:19,010 Any guesses where this took place? I don't know. I'm just I don't know. 728 00:44:19,090 --> 00:44:22,490 Does it get that cold in Florida? Sad for him. I'm gonna go. 729 00:44:22,530 --> 00:44:26,170 Wait wait, wait. Drunk man's penis freezes to the 730 00:44:26,170 --> 00:44:30,250 ground during a bar fight. All right, uh, I'm gonna go 731 00:44:31,050 --> 00:44:36,130 Massachusetts. Okay, flex. Any takers? I'm gonna say Minnesota. 732 00:44:37,090 --> 00:44:39,690 All right, you guys are on the right track, but wrong country. 733 00:44:39,770 --> 00:44:45,130 This happened in Canada. Oh, I was closer. Yeah. True. 734 00:44:45,730 --> 00:44:48,910 Uh, a drunk man's penis froze to the ground outside a of bar in 735 00:44:48,910 --> 00:44:52,870 Canada while he was being restrained for fighting during a night out. 736 00:44:53,710 --> 00:44:57,790 Blake McPhee reportedly got drunk and started arguing with other bar 737 00:44:57,830 --> 00:45:01,950 goers at the East Village pub and eatery in Fort McMurray, Alberta 738 00:45:02,190 --> 00:45:07,630 on January 12th. Flex was closer. As the dispute spilled out onto the 739 00:45:07,630 --> 00:45:12,270 street and into subzero temperatures, things got physical and several 740 00:45:12,270 --> 00:45:15,790 security guards attempted to restrain him. 741 00:45:15,830 --> 00:45:19,950 I want to know how his dick spilled out. Oh, we get there. Okay. 742 00:45:19,990 --> 00:45:22,910 In fact, right here, as he struggled against security, 743 00:45:22,910 --> 00:45:27,350 his pants fell down, causing him to become fully exposed to the elements. 744 00:45:27,910 --> 00:45:31,030 That's when his manhood got stuck to the icy pavement. 745 00:45:31,390 --> 00:45:34,630 McPhee was seen on video fighting with numerous security guards while 746 00:45:34,630 --> 00:45:38,150 they waited for the police to arrive. An eyewitness told the news that 747 00:45:38,150 --> 00:45:41,190 the rowdy bar goer kicked a security guard in the groin just 748 00:45:41,190 --> 00:45:45,350 before he was pinned to the ground, where he was held for 20 minutes 749 00:45:45,350 --> 00:45:48,380 to remove him from the ice. They forced him up and left some 750 00:45:48,380 --> 00:45:55,660 skin behind in the process. Ouch. Kind of makes you wonder where it 751 00:45:55,660 --> 00:45:59,900 was stuck now. Was it like the top? Was it the head? Was it? 752 00:45:59,940 --> 00:46:03,060 Was it up tucked? So they got some underneath skin. 753 00:46:03,420 --> 00:46:07,460 I'm very curious about where this froze. These things matter. 754 00:46:08,620 --> 00:46:12,220 Uh, he posted on Facebook. Man, I don't know how I get myself 755 00:46:12,220 --> 00:46:15,700 into these fucked up situations. Guess that's what I get for 756 00:46:15,700 --> 00:46:19,780 being a drunk lunatic at a bar. Still don't understand why it 757 00:46:19,780 --> 00:46:22,620 was necessary to rip my fucking drawers clean off while I'm 758 00:46:22,620 --> 00:46:25,980 being arrested with three cops and two security dicks on me. 759 00:46:25,980 --> 00:46:29,460 But that's okay, he wrote. Gone are the days a feller can get 760 00:46:29,460 --> 00:46:33,500 his wiener frozen fucking solid to the ground without it going viral. 761 00:46:34,140 --> 00:46:36,500 Anyways, glad I can be of some entertainment. 762 00:46:36,500 --> 00:46:39,580 And back to making headlines. Gonna go crawl inside a hole and cry 763 00:46:39,620 --> 00:46:44,180 myself to sleep now. P.S. sorry Ma. I'm just picturing his dick 764 00:46:44,180 --> 00:46:46,640 looking like the kid's tongue in Christmas story. 765 00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:53,400 That's all I could picture as I read that story. Has anybody seen flick? 766 00:46:54,280 --> 00:47:00,160 Oh, man, that, uh. Poor guy. I mean, idiot. 767 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,000 But I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. 768 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,520 If you pour hot water on his dick, would it shatter? 769 00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:10,280 There's only one way to find out. It's not glass, Brian. 770 00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:16,440 But it's just as hard. Oh, man. I was thinking maybe if you're 771 00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,720 huddled on the ground like that, maybe, like body heat would 772 00:47:19,720 --> 00:47:23,760 maybe keep it warm enough. Or warm up the ground. 773 00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,560 Negative degrees out. But I guess not if it's negative 774 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:28,920 degrees out. Yeah. You think I would know that? 775 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:32,240 You know, I live in Wisconsin. I think I'd get my dick stuck to 776 00:47:32,240 --> 00:47:36,160 the pavement numerous times. Well, just every time you go for 777 00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:40,200 a fight, make sure you cinch up that belt. Yeah. Who wears belts? 778 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:44,430 Not this guy. Not fucking. I live on. I live on the edge, man. 779 00:47:45,750 --> 00:47:47,910 If my pants come down, I'm getting stuck. 780 00:47:48,670 --> 00:47:50,670 Or if that means he was also freeballing too. 781 00:47:51,230 --> 00:47:54,950 Like there was just no backup to make sure his dick did not stick 782 00:47:54,950 --> 00:47:58,910 to the icy ground. Right. I don't know, maybe he was just 783 00:47:58,910 --> 00:48:01,790 wearing sweatpants and, I. Don't know, 784 00:48:01,790 --> 00:48:04,470 like he went to the strip club. Like, do you remember when you 785 00:48:04,470 --> 00:48:08,390 used to pants guys in high school? You remember sometimes when they 786 00:48:08,390 --> 00:48:12,550 were wearing athletic shorts. You get the underwear with it and 787 00:48:12,950 --> 00:48:17,190 everything comes. Out bargained for. So maybe that happened. Maybe. 788 00:48:17,990 --> 00:48:20,950 Yeah. You think. We're. Wearing some Canadian Walmart 789 00:48:20,950 --> 00:48:23,510 sweatpants? And. Yeah, we're thinking way too 790 00:48:23,510 --> 00:48:26,470 much about this guy's dick. I thought this wasn't a dick show. 791 00:48:26,590 --> 00:48:29,670 Well, boy, was I wrong. Yeah, you have a story like that, it 792 00:48:29,670 --> 00:48:33,910 kind of becomes a halfway dick show. At least a little bit of a dick show. 793 00:48:34,150 --> 00:48:38,630 Yeah, we're all stars now in the dick show. All right, that's it. 794 00:48:38,630 --> 00:48:42,290 Let's let's let's leave it on that. Let's leave it on frozen dicks. 795 00:48:42,410 --> 00:48:47,370 Oh my God, I'm sorry everybody. Brian shows up and we end. 796 00:48:47,370 --> 00:48:50,770 What I. Call frozen dick. Dick. Dick. Down, dick! 797 00:48:52,690 --> 00:48:56,290 Oh, quickly hitting some music. Uh. Follow us.
